Chapter 1: Prologue

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

“On the clearest of nights when the winds of the Etherium were calm and peaceful, the great merchant ships with their cargoes of Arcturian sura crystals felt safe and secure. Little did they suspect that they were pursued by pirates.   The most feared of all these pirates was the notorious Captain Zarkon.

Like a Candarian zap-wing overtaking its prey, Zarkon and his band of renegades swooped in out of nowhere and then, gathering up their spoils, vanished without a trace.  

Zarkon’s secret trove was never found but stories have persisted that it remains hidden somewhere at the farthest reaches of the galaxy, stowed with riches beyond imagination-- the loot of a thousand worlds.

Treasure planet.”

Notes:

This will be a fairly close adaptation of Treasure Planet starring our boy Keith, but you will not have to have watched it to understand this story.

If you have watched it, please note I'm making a few changes so as to fit Keith and Shiro better. Also no death of 'Mr. Arrow'. There will be angst, but I have a happy ending guarantee. Tags to be added at the top of chapters for that E rating.

There won't be daily updates, but I have little self control so updates will be often until this is finished.
