After several years of planning, Jakar was ready to enact his plan of rebellion. Jakar's last two brothers had died in the prior years, but he would not forget any of them. The plan was enacted during his match with one of his conspirators. They stopped their fight, and immediately went to the gates to free their comrades. They all gathered around Jakar as he announced his intentions to end Andlam's reign, in the name of his fallen brothers. Andlam ordered the beheading of all of the traitors, but his guards were quickly overpowered by the number of warriors. Andlam retreated, declaring he would personally end Jakar's life himself one day. Jakar responded, "Jakar died when the last of his brothers stopped breathing. I am only a warrior now. A warrior named Gladion".
Throughout the next few years, a bloody war was fought. The King and and his supporters, against Gladion and his fellow warriors and supporters. Many lives, warrior and citizen alike, were lost in the battles ensued. Many close calls taught Gladion to try different, less honorable tactics, to to kill his enemies. Eventually, Gladion and his warriors managed to ambush Andlam in the middle of his move to a new base. Andlam was quickly overpowered by Gladion, and begged to be spared. Gladion was spurred by his allies to torture him, just as they were all those years. However, as Gladion was going to begin, in the back of his mind, he remembered his early years, being taught by his father, to never be unhonorable in battle. This led to Gladion simply beheading him on the spot, much to the dismay of the others. Gladion simply said, "I fought for the honor of our fallen. As such, I had to end it honorably."
In short time, a new monarchy was formed, with Gladion made King. His first order was the destruction of the dark arena he and all the other warriors spent countless years in. Much deserved peace was attained, with the building of a new arena. It was dedicated to his brothers, and all of the fallen warriors from the war. Gladion fought in it's inaugural match, and unsurprising to anyone, won. He then announced his retirement from the arena, so he could focus on leading his people to new prosperity, which he did. New advancements in weapon-and-armor smithing were made to ensure more over the top battles, ending with honorable deaths, as they always should be. But eventually, Gladion began to grow bored with his lifestyle, wishing to feel the true rush of glorious and honorable battle again. He knew he would not find it on Centarkia anymore, so he declared he was stepping down from the throne.
Gladion had a shuttle prepared for him to travel to a new planet. He hoped he would new experiences and battle on this new planet he arrive at. Gladion left command of the planet to his advisors, who were all his remaining commanders during the war. They promised the planet will continue to prosper in his absence, and Gladion promised to contact them regularly. Finally, to the roars and cheers of his people, Gladion took off in his shuttle. He left Centarkia, looking for adventure and glorious battle. It was years later, that he finally landed on Earth.
Arrival on Earth
Gladion, after years of travel in his shuttle, had finally landed on Earth. Unaware of what planet he was on, he learned he landed in a desert, near what he would later come to learn was Millennium City. After he got his bearings, he traveled to the city, hoping to learn more of the planet. He arrived in Westside, and immediately saw a young lady being approached by a suspicious man, dressed in black and white, with face paint. When the man began to pull a weapon from his coat, Gladion approached to speak to him. Asking the man what he was doing, the man became startled at the size of him. The woman noticed the suspicious man and immediately fled. In anger, the man pointed his weapon, a small knife, at Gladion. Seeing the weapon, Gladion responded in turn. He was excited, believing he had found a great world for battle. However, upon seeing Gladion's swords, the man thought he was a hero, and immediately ran. Gladion was angered by this, and began chasing him. The man managed to reach other people dressed like him, and got them to join him against Gladion. Gladion noticed and said that he would gladly fight them each, but only after he had defeated the first man who challenged him. The men ignored him, and all charged at him at the same time. Surprised by this, Gladion was caught off guard, and took a blow to his side. Angered by their tactics, he was reminded of his battles during the war for his planet. Gladion went silent, and immediately dispatched the men, killing them swiftly. Coming back to his senses, he saw his work, and the reactions of the people who came up to see. Thinking they were here to challenge him as well, Gladion brandished his swords. The people all ran, screaming.
Armed and Confused
Confused, Gladion continued walking down Westside. While walking, he saw more of the same thing he went through when he first arrived, and began to question whether this planet was what he actually thought it was. Then, a group of police vehicles approached him. The officers' exited their vehicles, with their weapons drawn. They asked if he was the one responsible for the mass of dead bodies found throughout the area. Gladion said he was, claiming they challenged them, and he responded in kind. He also said they died honorably, even though they would tend to attack all at once, instead of one-on-one. The police officers told him to drop his weapons and come quietly. Gladion said he would never drop his swords, and that they were acting dishonorably. The police began opening fire on him, and Gladion surprised by this, took some shots. However, they did no visible damage to his hardened skin. Shocked by their actions, Gladion began to approach them angrily. It was then he was approached by a large, silver skinned warrior. This warrior introduced himself as Ironclad.
The Honorable Hero
Ironclad approached Gladion, and told him to halt. Upon looking at him, Gladion began to smirk, thinking he had finally found a true warrior. Gladion challenged Ironclad, and Ironclad, looking at the worried officers, agreed on the condition that it was away from the city. After traveling back to the spot Gladion landed at, Gladion began to charge at Ironclad. The battle was long, and well-fought, but it ended with Gladion's loss. Shocked, but satisfied, Gladion thanked Ironclad for the battle. As he prepared himself for his honorable death, Ironclad simply picked him up. Gladion was enraged, and demanded to know why he was denied his honorable death. Ironclad explained that killing is not tolerated on this planet. Gladion was confused. He wondered how a planet that had so many people so quick to fight, could possibly abhor killing. Ironclad asked Gladion where he came from. Gladion explained his story, deciding to leave out the details of the events that led up to the war. Ironclad, beginning to understand Gladion's experiences, told Gladion to follow him. While traveling, Ironclad asked Gladion for his name, and Gladion hesitantly told him it was Jakar. Eventually, Gladion and Ironclad arrived at Millenium City and the HQ of The Champions. Inside, Ironclad introduced Gladion to Defender, and explained Gladion's story to him. Defender smiled and brought Gladion to a seperate room, and began teaching him the situation on Earth. It was from here on, that Gladion would grow to become one of the planet's greatest warriors, and heroes.
