Prologue: Unexpected Departure.
Earth Jan, 21st, 2000.
Axle looked up at the sky, his mouth agape at what he was seeing.
'It's so beautiful!' Was the only thing going through his mind at this time.
His brain was so overloaded over how beautiful the sight in front of him was. It was a full circle rainbow that was bright and pulsating with all of the color's of ROY-GE-BIV. That however was more icing on the cool metaphysical cake as the rainbow circle had literally appeared out of nowhere and was accompanied by a loud sonic boom of indeterminable origin. All in all it was the most beautiful thing Axle had ever seen.
'Best birthday gift ever.'
10 Year's Later......
Earth Oct, 9th, 2010.
Axle J. Fairbanks was walking down the dusty backwater dirt road's of the south western United state's desert country. Not really looking foreword to anything in particular just trying to get home before night fell. As he walked along the deserted dirt road leading to his home he felt depressed. His home was by all right's and account's in the middle of nowhere. The only thing around for mile's was a casino and even that had more life forms around it than his small two bedroom dirt brown colored house.
When he found the thing online for such a low price he couldn't believe his eye's and bought it the next day. Now here he was a 20 year old nobody working a mediocre job getting lousy pay and lousy hour's living on his own and really wishing for more than this. When his parent's found out about him moving to this small place in the middle of nowhere they protested against it telling him that living alone and isolated from anyone else for mile's was not a safe idea. But he ignored there advice and moved in anyway. Now he was paying the price big time.
'AH Finally home at last' His brain screamed as his earth toned house came into view. It's deep earthly brown was easy to spot against the backdrop of the sandy, cactus filled Sonoran desert of southern Arizona.
'Thank god! A few more feet and i'll be back in my man cave---' His happy thought's were interrupted as darkness began to creep across the land in front of him. He looked around but it wasn't until he looked up that he saw the cause of the sudden darkening of the land.
"Wow a Solar Eclipse. haven't seen one of those in a long time." He muttered to himself. Axle continued to look at the eclipse until a faint light caught his eye. It was moving across the darkened sky like a beacon of hope in dark time's. Axle realized it was a shooting star.
'Hey make a wish.' His brain insisted.
And against his adult nature he did. He closed his eye's and wished to see that beautiful rainbow that he had seen when he was a little kid. Thinking back on that event made a smile creep up his face. Every time he thought back to that day he couldn't help but get butterfly's in his stomach. That one event made his whole life worth living.
No matter how bad thing's got for him thinking about that rainbow always cheered him up. He could still see the circle of color as it burned it's way through the sky in the intense fiery hue's of the rainbow. As he finished his wish he opened his eye's to a strange sight. That ball of fire striking across the sky had stopped. He rubbed his eye's to clear out any sleeping dist that might still be there from this morning.
When that didn't work and the bright spot of light was still there Axle took off his glasses and cleaned them with his shirt. It was still there hanging in the sky like an eyeball watching him. Axle pondered this a little longer before his brain registered something else.
'Is that strange light getting bigger?'
Indeed it was and with this Axle concluded that this meant it was getting closer. He was stuck it fear. He literally could not move even when every muscle in his body was telling him to do so. So he just stood there and watched as then small pinprick of light now loomed over Axle as a giant chuck of space rock. The funny thing was that Axle could not tear his eye's away from his would be killer.
The more he looked at it the more it reminded him of that one day. The more he looked into the jaw's of death, the closer it got the more detail's Axle could see. But the only thing he could see was a swirling mass of energy coming toward's him. The wasn't just any swirling mass though. The swirling vortex of color reminded him of that sonic rainbow he had seen all of those year's ago.
All of the bright beautiful color's were there. Axle had to admit that if there ever was a way to die this would be his preferred method. At least he was getting show before the end. And then it was upon him. The swirling mass smashed into the ground right at Axle's feet he was enveloped in the rainbow radiance of the shooting star.
As axle's body was enveloped in radiant energy the last thing to go through Axle's mind a that time was just how beautiful life was. And then his entire body was overloaded with strange sensation's as the energy that had attached to him flew up into the air and made a be line for the darkest part of the eclipsed moon and sun. Just as the energy was about to leave the atmosphere a small portal appeared were the sun and moon touched the horizon. The swirling mass of energy flew through the portal. Now rocketing through the depths of space and time with it's cargo the space anomaly made it's way to the most unlikely of place's, a place of magic and friendship.
