Episode 7: In The Beginning...
Stardate: 2393.4.11

Kero went to the John A. Cooper Auditorium, on the Planet Mesma, to hear Jonathan Sparks talk to a group of teenagers, who were Kero's age or younger. The mood was upbeat but calm. Jonathan talked to the kids about the dangerous effects that the visitors from Earth were having on the people. (Author Note: Many of these preachers were proclaiming the word of God and being healed from their sick world.)

One of the other speakers, John Wilder, spoke not only of the dangers he saw, but of the blindness that was happening. It was only ten years ago that these visitors from earth came. In that short brief time, millions have been delivered from evil.

One of the preachers, Fran John, spoke out against this new group-The Legion Of Doom. He warned many people that these children were being lead astray by the devil. Fran believed that they came not only to preach, but to share themselves.

The other speaker, Brain Hodges, vowed that these preachers will be removed from the planet one way or another. Suddenly everyone was applauding. The frenzy increased with all kids chanting the theme of The Legion of Doom: "You Blast Your Truth; We Will Chain You. You Claim Victory; We Will Destroy You. You Win Souls To A Invisible God; We Will Kill You. Leave Us Alone You S@@'s."

After the meeting, Kero and his friend Paul Smittle, who was a member, went to see Jonathan Sparks. It was at that moment that Kero would later see the inner workings of the group. That night he signed up to be a new member.
