First Encounter - Drift had just finished work while walking down the street when suddenly seemingly out of nowhere a gang of Legion approached him. Drift all alone knew this could mean trouble. The leader of the Legion gang said "join us or die now". Surrounded and out numbered Drift thought he did not have much of a choice as fighting them surely will not go well, with hesitation he reluctantly said "so be it" and joined the Legion gang. Not far away was the Legion spacecraft and off they went to the their home Planet X taking Drift with them.
Arrival at Planet X was not a friendly one. Drift was initiated, interrogated, and tortured beyond belief. The Legion was trying to turn Drift in to an evil Super Villain, however Drift knew and had experience from his former training to not give in and never give up. S.E.R.E. - Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape was his ulterior motive. He also had experience at performing and executing secret missions such as infiltration and remaining undetected in enemy territories while conducting operations and gathering intelligence.

Days and weeks past while the Legion was slowly trusting Drift and giving him more freedom and responsibility. One day while Drift was working at the info-center he had discovered some crucial information, and knew this was his way out. He found a wormhole location that could send him back to Earth. This particular wormhole is a multi-dimensional pathway. He made a plan, and one day all was clear with less security around, he made the escape.
Drift went through the wormhole and arrived at Earth in an area called Area 51.

Going through the wormhole took almost all the energy and power Drift had. Laying in the hot sandy desert almost unconscious he could see another gang off in the distant horizon. He thought to himself 'is this a hallucination or perhaps a mirage?'. Drift did not have the energy to get up and run, and even if he could there was nowhere to run and feared that the Legion tracked him.
However, upon approach this gang appeared different, almost friendly yet still menacing. The leader of the gang spoke up and said "Who are you? we tracked you going through the wormhole!". Drift explained he was being held captive at the Legion Planet X and escaped. The Leader said "Ah great! then you have valuable information about Legion, how would you like to become an official team member of The Colony?". Drift thought 'is this a test? is this for real?' and joined The Colony without hesitation. The Colony treated Drift well, trained him and gave him more power, he was more powerful than ever. They exchanged information and it became a very useful weapon in the fight against Legion.
To this day together The Colony fights the Legion and other threats. Looking back reminiscing Drift knew this all happened because of the first encounter with Legion.

Nice. Good work. I like the different track you took away from a purely confrontational story. Thank you for entering.
