Brightblasting Adventure

**Brightblasting Adventure** follows on from *Operation: New Troubles*, which featured heroic adventures of the NEW/G, and, as promised, featured more heroes. However, one old face from a bygone period has returned, now ready to serve alongside his compatriots in the new era.

## History

### Rise of Nextech

It is now the new era in the Aryaine Kingdom, with Nextech being used in their everyday lives, and in result, the entire country's technology has massively upgraded, since it is from Michael Nexima himself. However, he gained some heat pertaining the Panamoan Republic, curious to why did he only enhance select cities of the country than his own, which he only replies that it is far too valuable to be used by any force of evil, knowing that giving Nextech to his own country's cities would only become worse, knowing the threat of S.O.L.A.C.E and Corporate Renegades. However, he secretly implemented the use of Nextech in Obrinia, making the state a tourist attraction due to its beauty.

The Corporate Renegades have sent a mutated beast powered by Aether in an attempt to demoralise the country. However, an individual known as Aldrin Jayce takes note of the situation and quickly suits up, flying into the air and slams down his hammer to the beast, fighting it until it perishes. That is when, the NEXTECH Man, has decided to show the world what he is capable of as a hero. His swift victory over the beast quickly earned the praise of Fiona Vance, and recruited him to her legion of heroes for the newer generations.

### Rise Again, For an Adventure.

A time-hopping thief has been spotted running around the technologically advanced city of Rasuk, in Heliga, as he has stolen the NEW/G headquarters' Nextech power supply. Fiona Vance takes lead as Gwyneth Forgesteel is pursuing him, while Spartacus Brightspear is awaiting to OBRITAL STARFALL if he needs to do so. The thief of their Nextech power supply is known as ~~Benjamin Timewatcher~~ Cadence Shatter. After failing to capture him, Spartacus finally makes the decision to starfall into the fugitive, only for the fugitive to counter his starfall through the CONTINUUM BREAK, reversing time to prevent his arrest. He mocks the three of them until he gets blasted in the chest with a barrage of plasma.

It was Eion Brightblast. Fiona Vance is surprised to see an old friend, which Eion hugs her and states that the reason for him going back to being a hero, was the planet's bright future. He never thought that their lives would be better, until PROJECT was destroyed owing to their leader's sacrifice and two legends. Afterwards, Benjamin recovers from the gunshots, surviving due to his chrono-armour. He intends to escape with the stolen device, admitting his true identity, and blaming the G/NEX for not being able to pick up his corpse in the past. However, Eion has enough of the chase and shoots his hand, Spartacus and Gwyneth Forgesteel later apprehended him and stripped his armour.

After that, the NEXTECH Man offers them to have an adventure. Eion takes the lead, and they all fought in the Aryaine Kingdom, Radrenia, Masada, Glaz'Ian Islands, Evalka and later, the Panamoan Republic. As they all proved themselves, Fiona has included the veteran into their ranks, and the NEXTECH Man has managed to earn his spot as a hero. However, they still don't know, that there is a capable hero in the NEW/G, whom was known as Ashe's daughter. Little did they know, was that Corporate Renegades have sent those creatures and monstrosities sent after them.

It was revealed that their adventures then inevitably took them to Losteria, forcing them to defend the country from the beasts and prevent any form of civilian casualties, all while NEXTECH Man continued to showcase his power, as he has waited his entire life to join the legionnaires. Later, it is evident that they restrained the fugitive and his technology to prevent him from escaping and pulling all those time tricks that annoyed them prior. Eion was clearly having fun throughout the face of danger, admitting that nothing surprises him anymore in the future, having faced hell (pertaining to the old war) and survived.

The fugitive, now imprisoned in the NEW/G headquarters, seeks to reclaim his gadgets, which are only a few metres away. Lunar Frost notices it right away, but he's on his last TIME WINDER grenade. She easily used an ice arrow to freeze it, and Night Breeze promptly kicks his arm to prevent him from obtaining his gear. He tries to urge them to be freed, though they refuse, knowing that he took their armour and power source, for which Night Breeze cursed him, knowing that it could jeopardise their own base. She scoffs and approaches Benjamin Timewatcher. Knowing that the name appears to be a coincidence, Lunar Frost messages Fiona to question him, which earns the curiosity of Eion and NEXTECH Man. Gwyneth shrugs about the current matter, knowing that it is no other than the prodigy.

### Renegades, Now Strike!

Spartacus Brightspear volunteers to stay outside and be on tour to protect nevanity from extraordinary threats. As a result, he brings Gwyneth Forgesteel with him, the latter thanking him, admitting that she wanted to serve their legion, by fighting on the outside world, not be stuck on the base and training recruits. However, the Renegades have attacked a city in Avarshi, and are attempting to destroy Ashe's tomb. As a result, all of the NEW/G has deployed, alongside their native Iceborn prodigy, Lunar Frost. She declares that everyone of them shall be eliminated, not wanting them to disrespect her mother's tomb and legacy. They all take note of this, as they converge upon the wandering renegades in the frigid cold.

The Corporate Renegades have then used their mining site in Vuraki as a base, intending to ambush the NEW/G. However, it proved futile as NEXTECH Man used his hammer to penetrate their site, and the rest of the heroes have cleared a path, forcing them to use Aether as a weapon, much to Lunar Frost's disgust. However, they deployed mechas to the battlefield, causing havoc and forcing the NEW/G to disperse in the frigid cold. They even deployed Yellowjacket Wolf and Mimeographer into the fight, which in return has caused the injuries of Night Breeze and Seeker. After that, a giant WAR MACHINE mech has been sent to the zone, which ends up causing massive property damage as it buries a lot of young heroes inside the cave, and killing renegades inadvertently.

Fiona Vance orders everyone to disperse and attack all of its vents, and most of them have avoided its stomping attacks, whilst Lunar Frost gathers the two wounded heroes to a safe place, and pulls out an FH-900 AA launcher, to help the heroes out. However, the Warbot flees after receiving a fair amount of damage, then aims its mouth-emplaced plasma cannon, which fires it at Ashe's tomb. The tomb survives the hit but a large chunk was removed due to the impact. Angered, Frost unloads numerous missiles with the intention of destroying the huge machine.

As it gets destroyed, Armed Forces of the Panamoan Republic and Iceborn local warriors have scattered throughout the country to get rid of the enemy. However, someone climbs out of the mecha, and it is Mimeographer, having learned that Lunar Frost is Ashe's daughter, and he seeks to destroy the deceased hero's tomb in an effort to demoralise the NEW/G. However, Fiona Vance approaches him and demands a fight. The mercenary mocks her for being predictable despite her unmatched skill, which he later wins a fight against her using his own sword.

Things changed when Madeleine, aka Lunar Frost, confronted Mimeographer. He recognises her as the capable daughter of the late Ashe and instantly fights her in melee combat, insulting her profoundly by affirming that if he kills her, he will ruin the tomb and her inheritance, which only served to infuriate her. She can match him and even points out that he has a distinct fighting style because his main ability is focused on mimicking his opponent's tactics and using them to oppose them. The latter then gains the upper hand, until she manifests Ashe's legendary Ice Bow into her hands and wields it as a club, eventually disarming him after a fierce fight.

Fortunately, only Fiona was present to witness it, while the rest of the NEW/G is busy clearing the scene in Vuraki. Madeleine later fights Mimeographer brutally, consuming herself in rage as the latter continues to insult her mother, causing her to punch him multiple times and later mercilessly stomp his head until Fiona restrains her; giving her advice that her mother has, to never let emotions get the best of her. She calmed down and gazed at her bleeding gloves before sitting down in contemplation, which her commander soothes her with. Mimeographer has been left out in the cold, while the NEW/G has finally achieved their second victory over the Renegades.

Fiona's family welcomes them back to the base with hospitality while they all recover their wounds. Night Breeze is subsequently seen soothing Madeleine, who is still mute following her last outburst, which left Mimeographer for dead in the cold. She later spoke up to Fiona, apologising for her wrath that led to her beating him up earlier. Fiona accepts it since she knows Mimeographer is a murderer and her actions are justified. She also gives Madeleine a memento from her mother, Ashe's quiver. Madeleine accepts, and Night Breeze, now disclosing her true name of Alissandre, invites her outside for some bonding time.

### Resuming Threat

Despite the Corporate Renegades' defeat, they are able to use a backup: ADLEHR. He teleports to the outside of the NEW/G headquarters, staring at it. Knowing that he feels Eion Brightblast's presence inside. The latter then gets out of the base for fresh air, and sees his mortal enemy. He then questions his return, but received no response. The reaper only replies that "I shall kill you soon, enough.", this threatens him for another suffering in the lanterns, which can give him an eternity of suffering in the Void.

And his appearance wasn't even prominent enough. ADLEHR merely made a cameo to threaten his rival, which he anticipated a duel, someday. Night Breeze later hacks into S.O.L.A.C.E's software to gain knowledge of their evil plans, all without any detection, alongside their partnership with the Archibald Robotics to build cybernetic warriors in the foreseeable future.

## Cast

**Brightblasting Adventure** features the brand new ensemble cast in the sequel storyline, but it marks the return of a former G/NEX warrior, now known as Eion Brightblast. Sporting a new look and the lack of cybernetics, he has moved on from his painful past; Ready, to take on the foes that attempt to threaten the future of Nexonia Prime, and the newer generation of heroes.

Not to mention, this introduced a new hero, known as the NEXTECH Man. A native from the Aryaine Kingdom, Brayden Jayce is a brilliant inventor who uses the persona whenever trouble arises, soaring high to save the day!

## Trivia

### General

* During the operation that saw a huge battle in the lands of Avarshi, the renegades have suffered with over three hundred casualties.
* NEXTECH Man actually uses the namesake technology from Michael Nexima, through his request and permission.
* Some say the large beast that was let loose upon the Aryaine Kingdom is due to the Corporate Renegades.
* Night Breeze gets to have fun as she lets loose and kills numerous renegades while also hacking their network, for amusement and their strategical advantage.

* Eion's return was after he built his fortitude to fight again.
* The official photo of *Brightblasting Adventure* was captured when Eion photobombed a photographing session. Showoff.
