((Hey guys. This is the origin for my hero "The Red Sword of Justice. A frequent poster in the RP Whitmoore Apartments and World War Heroes.))

Part I: The Birth of a Legend

"Here I come brother!" Bobby cried as he rushed his older brother with his training sword. Bobby's brother laughed and easily side stepped the hasty and ill-planned attack. With a simple stroke of his blade he knocked the sword from Bobby's hands and launched him into the wall.

"Damn it Jimmy! That one hurt!" Bobby exclaimed in protest. Jimmy grinned at his younger brother and extended a hand to help him up. Jimmy stood at 6'6 with short black hair and grey eyes that Mom said you could see the universe in. He was a muscular, athletic guy, funloving but very serious about his brother's training. "If you can still talk, you can still train lets continue then little brother." Jimmy laughed and readied himself for his Bobby's next assault. Bobby scrambled to his feet and grabbed his sword. "One day Jimmy, I will surpass you. I will become as great as Statesman. I will become the greatest swordsman the world has ever seen!." Bobby declared as he rushed his brother. As the two swords connected Jimmy found himself being pushed back. "Where did this power come from! This is incredible! I had no idea Bobby had such hidden strength?!" The two brothers clashed with such force that the ground beneath them split.

The two launched backwards from the crumbling ground. Both breathing heavily. Jimmy could see this mysterious red energy crackling of Bobby. He was astonished at the power and bewildered from where it came. Suddenly the red aura dissipated and Bobby collapsed. Bobby's mysterious powers was gone as quickly as it came. Jimmy picked up Bobby and slung him over his shoulder. "Come on little brother, mom has probably got dinner ready by now." The sun slipped behind the hills as the last bit of sunlight played of off Paragon City's great skyscrapers. "Bobby's powers.... it's as Mom always feared... he's becoming like Dad and myself, a super. I'll hide it from her for now. I just hope he doesn't go super in the middle of dinner or something like that."

Bobby regained consciousness and found himself laying in bed with a note attached to his forehead. Whenever you wake up there is food downstairs for you. Love, Mom Bobby walked downstairs, everyone else must already be asleep. He grabbed some food off the counter and chowed down. He was starving and for some reason feeling weakened. "Heh, Jimmy really put me through hell today. I better keep training if I ever hope to surpass him. Though anything can happen in this city of heroes..."
