The Dan before Dann

#1 Daniel William Cunningham

Dan age 4 1985, he woke up from his king size bed. He woke up his brother Egsy. He Rubbed his eyes, his mother Elinor Cunningham woke them up.

"Dan, Egsy, it's time to wake up." Elinor rubbed Dan's face.

"Good morning Mum."

"Wake up Egsy I made breakfast for you." Dan ran downstairs to the kitchen. He saw his Father Edward Cunningham, sitting down reading the newspaper as he drank tea.

"Good morning Dan." Edward put down his news paper and sipped his tea.

"Hello father!" Egsy came in the kitchen shortly after Dan.

"Cmon boys, eat your food so we can get you to school." Edward smiled and patted both of their heads.

Dan and Egsy finished their breakfast, Elinor takes their plates. Dan and Eggsy get up from their seats to get ready for school. Elinor on her way to the kitchen sink trips and drops the plates. She broke one but another survived with a minor chip. Edward looked over to see the commotion.

"Jesus woman, can't do anything can you?" Edward looked down at Elinor.

"I'm sorry Edward, I just tripped on something." Elinor picked up the broken glass.

"You're no better than a red solider. No I take that back, because a red soldier is more useful than you are." Elinor looked down in shame.

Dan and Egsy come back downstairs ready to go. Edward put on his Brown hat and Coat.

"We're ready father!" Eggsy said while Dan was adjusting his shoe.

"Come along now children." Edward opened the door for Dan and Eggsy. Dan and Eggsy were born in a specialized family. The highest class in the brown organization. Specialized classes are rich and powerful, the closest to the Brownyster. He is the king of this organization they call an empire. The brown Empire is part of Britain, they have complete control over Europe. Women and R.E.D soldiers have little to no power, they are the lowest class. Over the years Dan and Egsy learn about their class and the empire it's self. They become extremely smart and promising students. Dan was raised by his mother, he was always different from the other kids. While Eggsy was raised by his father, to be the very embodiment of the special class. Sixteen years later, both Dan and Eggsy are Enlisted in the Brown Empire. Edward wants to introduce his children to one of his good friends. He was a scientist in the red agency, his name Dr. Oliver.

"Hello Doctor." Edward entered his office and surprised him.

"Why hello Edward, what brings you here?"

Dr Oliver adjusts his glasses and smiles. Dr Oliver always had a creepy smile, although he wasn't a bad looking guy.

"I wanted you to meet my sons, Dan and Eggsy."

Dan and Eggsy both walk in, Dan nervous and Eggsy confident.

"The tall one is Dan and the other one is Eggsy, he's on the short side but still brilliant." Oliver got up and inspected them both.

"Hmm Dan, you have quite an impressive physique. Tall, broad shoulders and a rather nice face." Oliver walks over the Eggsy and inspects him.

"Short but a muscular build, and a nice face, I'd say you're like him but shorter." Egsy looks pleased, standing like a soldier with his hands behind his back.

"Well I'd like to show you two something, it's something incredible that I've been working on." Dr Oliver opens a wooden door behind him, it was an empty room made entirely of carpet. It had a red and black strip pattern, there was one light bulb in the room that was dim but just enough to see everything. Dr Oliver slides his finger in a slit in the wall. It was a sliding door, he opened the door. At the end of it was a dark room with blue lights. He walked them in to see 3 brown suits in glass tubes. Dr Oliver looked at them both then looked at the suits. "Ah yes Eggsy you can have the one on the far left." Eggsy looked over at Dr Oliver proud. Eggsy put on the suit like a child on Christmas. "Father I've done it, I'm in the brown empire!" Eggsy smiled at Edward.

"I'm very proud you of son!" Edward smiled back.

"Now don't go celebrating yet, I didn't even show you the good part. That suit is littered with technology, there are micro sensors on the lower and upper body. These can sense movement, body temperature, pulse strength, speed and more. There is one on the collar that can read your brain waves, it can link with your emotion and combat ability. It can even respond to thought!"

"That's great Doc, but how does this help me?"

"Good question Egsy, how about you walk over to that wall and punch it." Egsy looked confused but did as Oliver said, Egsy charged a punch but stop on impact. His forearm was covered in ice.

"That's astonishing Doctor!" Dan was very impressed by this display.

"Years were provided in the making of these suits. We call them,``Inferno Suits."

"So, which one is mine?" Dan asked.

"The one on the far right, it's an interesting pick. For the circumstances."

Dan picks the brown suit up from the open tube.

"You may inherit the will Edward." Oliver rubs his hands together intently with his creepy smile.

"Now, Dan concentrate on your hands. Feel the will of father burning on your very finger tips!" Oliver is sweating from his excitement.

Dan close his eyes. Focusing on his fingertips, he felt something warm on his hands. It spread from his hand to his forearm. Dan finally opened his eyes. There were flames on his forearm.

"Yes now you see, the will of your father. Edward the Star King!" Oliver shaking and sweating with such excitement.

"Fire and Ice, clever combination." Edward accommodates Oliver. Eggsy looks at Dan determined, his natural counter, marking the beginning of their sibling rivalry.

"I do so indeed apologize, but I'm running low on time. Please do take the suits with you, those will be your uniform tomorrow when you arrive." Oliver walks them back out to his office.

"Thank you Oliver, these will aid my sons greatly."

"There's no need, since you're a special class status and the magnificent Edward the Star King. I have no issue." Dan and Eggsy finish folding their suits and prepare to walk out the door.

"One more things boys, the stronger you become with your abilities the more it will manifest on your suits." Dan and Eggsy are confused but are bloated with determination. They leave Oliver's office and continue to the next day. The boys wake up the next day, they pack up their luggage. They were moving in officially to the brown empire. Elinor is excited for her children finally being in the brown empire. She walked into their room as they were packing. Eggsy looks at her confused while Dan is curious as to what she is going to say.

"I'm so excited for you!" Elinor jumps up with excitement

"I'm going to ask your father if I could accompany you."

Dan and Egsy continue packing their bags.

"I bet I'll make it to high class rank before you!" Eggsy said with a smirk.

"Maybe if you were asleep!" Dan fixes his tie and lights his finger on fire, he points it at Eggsy. Eggsy puts it out with some ice and taunts him.

"Using these to practice would be fun." Dan closed his suit case and bag.

"Yeah it'll be fun to kick your ass! Haha." Eggsy makes another remark at Dan. Dan suddenly throws a fire jab at Eggsy, Eggsy catches his punch with an ice hand. Their brief small clash shakes the entire mansion. Eggsy and Dan smile at each other.

"Not in here boys! Wait till you get to the empire!" Edward yelled. Dan Egsy and Edward were ready sitting at the door, Edward put on his hat. Elinor stopped Edward just at the door, she looked very anxious and nervous. She slowly but cautiously chose her words and carefully spoke.

"Edward, may I accompany you to the brown empire?" Elinor swallowed air. Edward looked at her with a blank cold straight face.

"No you may not Elinor, you must stay here. Clean and cook, something that you can't possibly fuck up. But knowing you, you will, certainly not, you stay here and out of the way. Make sure you have food Done when I return home, I will be hungry when I get back." Edward looks and smiles at his sons, he sighs as he walks out the door. Egsy strutting behind him like nothing happened. Elinor tried not to cry, she could barely stand.

"Goodbye Mum." Dan trying to form a smile without being sad, he hugged his mum when his brother and father weren't looking. Dan picks up his luggage and closed the door behind him. Elinor kept a strong neutral face, but she broke into tears shortly after. She fell on here knees and sobbed, she spent her life as nothing more than a slave a mere tool. She gave birth and took care of her children, just for her to be worth nothing. Dan was still outside the door hearing her sob.

"Women are too sensitive, I hope you won't have wives like her." Edward got in the car and waited for them to get in. Dan was hesitant, but sat in right after Eggsy. Edward drove them to the brown empire. They went to their dorm rooms and set their baggage down. Many people would talk about their father Edward the Star King. Before long word spread to the Brownyster. Before they could even get settled in, the Brownyster called them to his presence. The man who controlled the entirety of Europe. The Brownyster sat on this throne inside his castle, which was the size of two and half football fields. He planned on expanding it in the future to three. Dan Egsy and Edward arrive at his door inside the brown empire. The door opened automatically and two large guards stood in front of them. Covered in titanium armor, Both armed with Plasma swords.
