Editing Sad Tales of Freedom's Fallen HEROES (section)

==THE OTHER HEROES==

===[[Foreshadow]]===
(David Sloane) Precognitive crime-fighter who tries to prevent the tragedies he foresees.  <br> He has known this day would come for many years now. Moments before the invasion began, in an insignificant back alley within the Fens, Foreshadow confronts  xxx . As the invasion begins, Foreshadow fulfilled the destiny he has foreseen for himself, for this moment:  To save xxx who would one day help free the world.

===[[Eldrich]]===
Adrian Eldrich was standing on the highest point of [[Freedom City's tallest building]], his magical energy spent from repelling invaders from his home.  The [[Star-Khan]] had no truck with magical beings, but in the confusion the lords of the [[Neatherworld]] had approched the Khan and offered there services to remove Earth's mightiest mystical defender.  Eldrich had fought a running battle with summoned gollum and demon forces, designed to remove him from this realm.  He had felt [[Seven]] fall to a spell that disrupted her innate magical connections, he had heard her scream when the magic returned to her, and she couldn't handle the backlash, the amplified power that the lords reinstated to her.  The only thing he could do now was to remove the demons from the invasion, the fight was his, this moment was his, and with all his effort he summoned a portal to the furthest level of the furhest realm that he had visted, and swept all into that dark place.  Knowing that the rift could only be welded shut from the other side, Eldrich stepped of the highest point and fell into the rift, mystically sealing it shut. Destined to fight the denizans of the realms forever in that dank mystic realm.

===[[White Lion]]===
The last two pockets of resistance were thousands of miles apart. The African nation of [[Dakana]] and a military compound in the American Midwest. The invaders were reluctant to bomb Dakana flat, for the [[Daka Crystals]] that made Dakana a world power were also a very valuable resource for their own technology. That very same resource fueled Dakana's military juggernaut, led by the famous White Lion. The sleeping giant had awakened... but as powerful as Dakana's military was, they were gradually overwhelmed by sheer numbers.
White Lion met death in a massive explosion that ripped his homeland apart, denying the invaders access to their precious crystals. Rumors suggest that a sizeable stockpile of the crystals were smuggled out of the country earlier, but none could be confirmed.

===[[the Patriot]]===
Much like the major cities, military bases around the world were hit first. Only one of those bases survived. Whether it was because of his leadership, his inspiration, or merely his own abilities, the Patriot led a unit of the [[US Military]] to victory after victory... until finally, [[Star-Khan]] himself came down to deal with the heroic nuscience who was quickly becoming a threat. <br> 
'''''"You're a fool if you think you can win. Your people's greatest heroes have already fallen, and you? A machine who thinks its a man. Victory is mine."''''' <br> 
'''''"As long as someone's willing to stand against you, Star-Khan, victory will never be yours."'''''  ... Patriot exclaimed. <br> 
'''''"Such heroic nonsense."''''' <br><br>
B O O M !!   <br>as an orbital pulse beam from the Star-Khan's Battle Cruiser dissolves flesh, bone, metal, hope...  <br><br>
'''''"Who stands against me now, fool?"'''''
