Master Konju

Thomas James Konju (born August 4, 1941) is the Master of the Legion 5 and a marshal artist, former comedian, and retired military soldier.

Konju was raised in Annapolis, Maryland and his father fought in World War II, leaving him with just his mother and brother James for his toddlerhood. When he was 5 he ran away from home after experiencing a vision. He ended up in New York in the summer of 1957, where he befriended Michael Soclin and Lillian Moore. He defeated Zurg an alien from the planet Terin and became a hero among the people of New York.

He became a comedian in the 1960s, but his popularity began to decrease after his support of the Vietnam War. He became a schoolteacher in 1968 where he encountered Zurg again eventually quitting after defeating him. Konju joined the army in 1970 but was discharged in December after badly injuring his leg. It recovered by 1975, but by then the war had ended. After that he mostly stayed out of the public eye until 1983 when he campaigned for his friend Michael Soclin, who was fatally shot in the fall.

In 1986, Konju began training Soclin's son, Michael Soclin, Jr, they fought the Evilties and other threats throughout the late 80s and 1990s. Konju once again became popular, although this time it was global popularity. In 1999, Soclin, Jr. was killed but later resurrected as the Elf King.

After being defeated by the Elf King, Konju went into hiding for 5 years until he began crafting a superhero team. The Legion 5 was formed on June 23, 2005 and it continues to fight threats to this day.

Konju has fought in the Korne Wars, and the Kibbian conflict.

Early Life and Childhood
Thomas James Konju was born on August 4, 1941 in Annapolis, Maryland to James and Sarah Konju. He had a brother named James Konju, Jr. He was delivered by his family's physician, Doctor Bradley Thomas, for whom he was named after. The Konju family lived on their farm in Annapolis. In early 1942, James Konju was drafted to fight in World War II, leaving the infant Konju without his father for the first 3 years of his life. Konju had a good relationship with his mother and brother. His father came back from war in the summer of 1945. On August 4, 1946, after his 5th birthday party, a strong windstorm caused a glass jar to fall on the sleeping Konju's head. Konju was knocked unconscious and had a vision telling him he had to create a team of superheroes to fight evil. When Konju woke up, he packed his things and ran away from home, hopping on a bus headed to Baltimore.

After arriving at Baltimore, the young Konju was out of money, therefore he walked to his next destination of Delaware. The sick and starving Konju arrived in Georgetown, Delaware in February of 1947. There he found a kind man in his 80s named Matthew Stephenson who fed him and took him in. However with Stephenson's death in 1954, Konju was on his own again. Stephenson had given Konju enough money to take a bus to Philadelphia. When Konju arrived, the young kid was beaten by thugs, luckily being saved by an officer named Frederick Lawson who told Konju to run away and hide while he battled the thugs. Konju's money had been robbed so he was hoping for Lawson to take him in. However Lawson was fatally shot by one of the thugs. Konju once again settled to walking. He decided to go to New York City, where his uncle Charles Konju lived. Unknown to him, Charles Konju had died of a heart attack in 1953. Konju reached Albany in April of 1957 where he mowed a man's lawn for 2 months to save up enough to take a bus to New York City.

Life in New York
Konju arrived in New York in June of 1957. When he got there he went to the apartment where his uncle Charles lived. There he met the owner, Stanley Johnson, who told him his uncle Charles had been deceased for four years. However, Johnson offered the 15 year old Konju a job at the office he owned in the apartment. Konju took the job. At the office he met Michael Soclin an 18 year old salesman who was the son of Jewish immigrants. The two men became friends and Soclin introduced Konju to Lillian Moore, the 17 year old secretary for whom Konju developed feelings for.

About two weeks later, Konju was on his way home from Soclin's apartment when he noticed an odd-looking stranger in an alleyway. Unknown to him, this stranger was Erkhon Stardom, the creator of the Eviltie Empire. Stardom attacked Konju and started to beat him unconcious. However, before Stardom could kill Konju he noticed a police officer and ran off. Konju was found by the officer and taken to a local hospital. Konju recovered 4 days later.

Duel in New York City
Main Article: Duel in New York City

On June 24th, Konju was reading in his room when he heard an explosion. When he checked outside he saw the local bookstore on fire. This worried Konju when he heard gunshots and explosions from downstairs. There he encountered a dying Stanley Johnson, lying bloody and beaten on a pile of rubble. Johnson asked Konju if he wanted to inherit the apartment but Konju declined. Johnson died in Konju's arms. Afterwards, Konju went outside to go warn his friends. He found an ancient staff lying on the sidewalk from an antiques store that was being destroyed. Konju took the staff as a means of protection.

Konju reached Soclin's apartment which luckily had not been attacked yet. Soclin called the police and Konju ran off to fight more of the attackers. Konju noticed that his apartment room was on fire and he ran over to it when he noticed Stardom staring at him. Stardom mocked Konju and then took out a stick in an attempt to bludgeon him. When that failed, Stardom took out his combat sword and they fought. Stardom scarred Konju underneath the left eye and on his knee but Konju was not willing to let Stardom be victorious. Konju finally defeated Stardom when he knocked his sword out of his hand with his staff and then used it to impail Stardom. Stardom, realizing he would be defeated called a retreat of all Eviltie forces. After the battle Soclin and Moore told Konju they were dating, slightly dismaying Konju but he agreed to support them.

New York's Hero (1957 - 1968)
Konju's defeat of the first ever reported alien life boosted him into national fame. Scientists realized that if aliens ever did try to invade they could be defeated. President Dwight Eisenhower invited Konju to the White House. Konju became immensely popular and many store clerks would give him huge discounts (which Konju declined) He also had Soclin, who had begun a business begin working on a building for him.

In 1960, Konju started a comedy career. It was generally well recieved and he got his own late night show. In 1963, Konju gave a toast at Soclin and Moore's wedding. This was also the year Soclin finished Konju's Tower. Konju had Soclin on his show and it was the most popular episode of his show.

Konju backed Barry Goldwater in the 1964 presidential election. This made him unpopular with some and his show's popularity began to decline. It was cancelled for a 5th season so in 1966, Konju was back to doing stand up. Konju's support for the Vietnam War also made him unpopular and he quit his comedy career in 1968. He supported Richard Nixon.

School-Teacher (1968)
Out of a job, Konju was hired by the New York City Township Learning Academy to teach 3rd Grade. Konju liked teaching there somewhat. However, on September 20, Stardom, now going by the name Zurg returned to New York. He tracked Konju down and attacked the school. 5 teachers and 2 students were killed in the attack. Konju fought Zurg outside the school and eventually knocked him unconcious. Not knowing if Zurg could be killed and not wanting to wake him up if he couldn't, Konju put Zurg back into his pod and sent it to space. The school was shut down for two weeks and Konju quit schoolteaching.

Army Life
After being fired, Konju enlisted to join the army to fight in the Vietnam War. He joined in 1970 and was placed in a squad. The three other members were Albert Johnson, Danny Collins, and Miguel Gonzalez. In December, however he fell into a hole dug by a Northern Vietnameze soldier and he broke his leg. The entire bone tore off. Konju was discharged and the injury was so bad he had to stay in the hospital for 5 years and by then the war was over and American forces had been withdrawn.

Citizen Life (1975 - 1986)
After recovering, Konju moved from Washington D.C. (where his hospital was) back to New York City where his tower was. Konju considered going back to comedy but decided against it, instead opting to live as a private citizen. In 1976, Michael and Lillian had their son Michael, Jr.

In 1983, when Soclin announced he would be running for the U.S. Senate in the state of Ohio (Soclin's state of residence at the time) for 1986, Konju supported him. However, Soclin was shot dead in November so Konju went back to private life.

Meeting Michael, Jr.
On September 6, 1986, Konju noticed an alien star-craft headed towards Ohio. Hacking into their transmission system Konju found out they were planning to take the deceased Soclin's farm. Konju took a flight to Cleveland, Ohio on September 7th and drove a rented car to Ashland (the site of the farm) from there. When he arrived he saw a squad of 4 Elite Eviltie Troopers (EET) standing in the farm. The farmhouse had been burnt to the ground as had the silo. All that was left was the field with dead crops and the barn. He managed to kill 3 of the troopers but was pinned down to a rock by the fourth one, a human named Alexander Strauss who then stabbed Konju in the shoulder. Strauss was then about to stab Konju in the throat. Right as the blade was about to make contact with Konju's throat Strauss was thrown across the field. Konju got up, clutching his shoulder and examined Strauss.

Oddly, Strauss was dead and frozen, with an icicle in his chest and another in his head. This confused Konju as it was not winter. A young boy came forward and said that he had killed Strauss. The boy introduced himself as Michael Soclin, Jr. the son of the late Michael Soclin. Konju had not seen Michael, Jr. in 3 years. Michael revealed that his mother, Lillian Moore had died in December of 1985. Konju agreed to take Michael in.

Back to Fame
Konju and Soclin arrived back in New York on the 8th of September. Soclin and Konju formed an alliance and Soclin settled into Konju's Towers. By September 10th reports circulated of Konju's heroics at Ashland. Konju once again became a hero. He became friends with Donald Trump, a businessman. During the 1990s he rose to global popularity.

Battle of Annapolis
On October 9, 1987, Konju got a call from the Annapolis Police Department saying that they were being overwhelmed and they could use his help. Konju boarded his prototype jet fighter and had Michael board his and they flew to Annapolis. There Konju saw that it was a group of Eviltie Forces, led by Zurg, who Konju had not seen in 19 years. Zurg's plan was to bait Konju to Annapolis (Konju's Childhood Hometown) and kill him there.

Konju realized his family's old farm was under attack. He told Michael to fend off Evilties throughout the town and he would protect the farm. After killing the Evilties at his farm, Konju went inside the farmhouse where he saw his parents for the first time in 41 years. Konju's parents had not yet heard of Konju and they were very surprised to see him return. Konju was very happy to see his parents again.

Konju left the farm house to check on Michael. Michael had defeated Evilties who had taken a store as their base. Konju then helped the police by killing Evilties who were in a gunfight with them.

Unsatisfied that Konju had not come to him, Zurg went to the farmhouse and shot Konju's father. Konju who was on the street of the farm heard the screams of his parents and ran to the house. There he saw his father lying in a pool of blood, dying. Enraged Konju lunged at Zurg and fought him. The fight then moved to the field where police officers backed him up by shooting at Zurg. Realizing he would be defeated, Zurg ordered a retreat. However, Konju would not back down. In a fit of rage Konju slashed Zurg's left eye, attempting to stab him. Zurg kicked Konju out of the way and ran aboard his ship. Konju thought about pursuing Zurg but then decided against it, instead opting to comfort his dying father. Konju's father told Konju that he was proud of him and then passed away.

Late 80s - 1990s
Soclin and Konju mostly just helped with local problems in New York during the late 80s. In 1991, Konju helped to redeem a Soviet Assassin named Telapath. In 1993, Zurg kidnapped businessman Zachary Collin, and Konju planned on going with Soclin to rescue him but Soclin advised against it, telling Konju all that Zurg wanted was Konju's head. So instead, Konju sent Soclin to deal with the trouble. In 1996, Soclin got married to Mary Collin, the daughter of Zachary Collin, and Konju allowed her to move into the towers as well. In November of 1997, Soclin's daughter was born, and speculating that she inherited Soclin's powers, Konju planned to train her. In 1998, Konju also volunteered as a firefighter to deal with the Florida Wildfires.

Soclin's Death
On November 16, 1999, Zurg attacked Konju's Towers, breaking in through the top window. Mary Collin was in Kentucky and therefore not present. Zurg pursued Soclin and Konju throughout the tower with a duel breaking out in the training room. Zurg stabbed Konju in the side and then kicked him to the corner. Weakened, Konju witnessed Zurg kicked Soclin out of a window. Soclin fell to his death. Before he could fight Zurg, Zurg escaped. Konju felt extreme guilt for the death of Soclin.

The Elf King
Konju became depressed afterwards. However, on September 3, 2000, Konju, on a walk back to the towers encountered Soclin. Soclin had grown elf ears, which intrigued Konju. Konju was glad to see Soclin again and asked him to come back to the tower. Soclin complied but once they arrived at the tower, Soclin attacked Konju. Konju confused fought Soclin. Soclin jumped out of a window onto a bridge, which Konju followed. Soclin said that he was no longer Soclin, but the Elf King, and he blamed Konju for his death, saying that Konju set him up to die and Zurg saved him. Elf King then called in Eviltie Troopers as well as Zurg-Bots. Konju realized that Elf King had been brainwashed by Zurg and called in his friends from the Vietnam War. Danny and Miguel arrived but Albert was unable. Danny and Miguel backed Konju up, but Danny was slain by the Elf King.

Horrified, Konju told Miguel to retreat. Konju realized that not only was Michael gone, but he was unbeatable alone. Elf King then stabbed Konju in the side and Konju realized this was his opportunity. After Elf King removed the blade Konju jumped walked off the bridge, making Elf King believe he was dead, and order a retreat.

In Hiding (2000 - 2004)
Konju took a plane to Annapolis and went to his childhood farmhouse from there. He lived with his mother until her death in 2002.

Restarting the team
In 2004, Konju got an email from a woman named Angela Walker who told him that her son Jeremy had superpowers and if he could be trained by Konju. This gave Konju the idea to train Jeremy as a second Michael. Konju agreed and made arangements with Angela and her husband John to take Jeremy in by summer of 2005. Konju visited New York again to move back into his tower, reclaiming it. There, he encountered a man named Jacob Heinzenberg, who ran a clowning business where he kidnapped children. He was about to have one of the children, Collin Toomy jump into a pit of fire. Heinzenberg then threatened Konju with death if Konju reported him to the authorities. Konju offered to buy Toomy for $500,000, to which Heinzenberg agreed. Konju then freed Toomy and Toomy agreed to move into the Towers and work as a mechanic for Konju.

Toomy also revealed to Konju that he had built a flight suit, leading Konju to envision a trio of himself, Toomy, and Walker fighting.

Finding Members
On June 19, 2005 he set out to find Walker, but did not arrive at the farm until June 21. There he took Jeremy with him and flew to New York. However he saw two children, Zach and Lucy being told to jump off a building by Jacob Heinzenberg. Worried, he rushed to the spot but saw the children had powers, and they defeated Jacob. Konju asked the children to come with him and they did. Konju got aboard his ship but realized the steering was off. Not wanting to crash into a building, Konju went to space and waited for the steering to go back to normal. On the ship, Konju found out that the new kids were Michael's kids. However, his ship ended up on Firelodia before the steering was fixed. Konju left the ship hoping to sneak fuel but ran in to the king's son Pyro. Konju tried to talk Pyro into joining his team but failed. However, Konju beat Pyro in their fight, and Pyro agreed to join the team. Konju and the rest of the team arrived on Earth, and met up with Collin, at Konju's Towers (later called the Legion 5 Towers). He gave each child a code name and came up with the team name of Legion 5.

Battle of New York
While training the children, Konju noticed a building being blown up by an Eviltie Ship. Konju rushed to his jet fighter and tried to shoot down the Eviltie ship but got his engine frozen and crashed into the ship, killing an Eviltie general. Konju woke up and fought Elf King, almost getting murdered before Collin and Zach caused a distraction allowing Konju to stab Michael in the leg and kick him out the window. Konju found out through loudspeaker that the Eviltie Plan B was to crash the ship in the city. Konju got into the cockpit, killed the pilots, and safely landed the ship in an empty lot. Konju caught up with the children and reassured them they could stop future threats.

Second Battle of New York
A year after the battle, Collin and Zach came to Konju, telling him that Elf King was still alive and they saw him escaping. Konju dismissed this as an imagination to cure their boredom. He then informed the team that he had enrolled them for school, which would start the next day. The next day Konju dropped the children off at school. They did not have a good day, but he assured them that the next day would be better. That was not true at all. The next day Zurg and some Zurg Bots attacked. Konju watched the battle from the tower and felt guilty when Collin asked for his suit. He later noticed some Zurg Bots entering the tower. He defeated them easily, however shortly after that he found that the foundation of the Legion 5 Towers had been destroyed. He jumped out the window as the towers crashed and crumbled. They were destroyed. Konju ran to a coffee shop where Zurg was. After Zach defeated Zurg, the Legion 5 left the coffee shop. Konju recovered everything he could from the tower and settled in a cave in Central Park.

The Revenge of Zurg
About one week later, Konju decided to watch the news, where he found out that two workers had been killed by Zurg, causing him to realize Zurg was still alive. He tried to warn members of the team, including Zach, who was still bitter about Konju not taking his warning about Elf King seriously. The next day, Konju's fears came true. Zurg came to the Legion 5 Cave and fought the team. Konju punched Zurg's metal armor, causing his hand to break and bleed. Zurg then procceeded to beat Konju up. The team ignored Konju's cries for help as they did not want to face Zurg. Finally, Konju lost conciousness and fell to the ground. When he woke up, he saw Zurg killing Pyro. Konju mourned Pyro's death as Zurg flew off into space.

The Battle of Firelodia
In December of 2007, Konju, fearing that Zurg would make a new Elf King out of Pyro, began researching how to bring Pyro back to life. He realized that to be alive, a Firelodian needs their heart to be blazing with fire. As Zurg destroyed Pyro's heart, Konju collected hearts from dead Evilties. Konju then dug up Kayron's body. On November 1st of 2008, Konju, along with Toomy and Walker set the heart of dead Eviltie Soldier Tobius Smith ablaze, then putting it into Kayron's chest. Kayron came back to life.

It was on this day that an anonymous source informed Konju that the king of Firelodia, Magmus Kayron (known as the Magma King) was creating a Firelodian Army of Assasins to attack the Legion 5. They flew to Firelodia arriving on November 2nd. Konju sent Pyro into the King's Palace to infiltrate it. Konju raised an American Flag and then fought the Firelodian Army. Konju killed around 17 soldiers in the battle. After the Magma King's defeat Konju saluted to the flag. They headed home, arriving on November 3rd.

Back in the Army
In 2009, the Legion 5 saved a farm being attacked by 5 Russian Pilots. This greatly impressed the United States Military and they reached out to Konju asking him if the Legion 5 would like to partner with the Army, Konju's old branch. Konju was very enthusiastic about it and accepted.

On June 16th, 2010, the Legion 5 visited Fort McNair where they registered to be in the army. Although only Collin Toomy who was 19 was old enough to join, the military made an exception for Jeremy Walker (14) Pyro Kayron (biologically 13) Zachary Soclin (10) and Lucy Soclin (12)

On June 20th, the military issued an official proclamation that the Legion 5 had become an Army Special Forces Unit.

The Third Battle of New York and Faking his Death
By June 23rd (ironically the 5th anniversary of the Legion 5) Konju had figured that the reason Evilties kept attacking was because of both Zurg's and Elf King's hatred for him. His theory was that if he were to die, the attacks would stop. He thought that the fact that there were no Eviltie Attacks from 2000 - 2004, when the Evilties assumed he was dead, was evidence for this hypothesis. So he began planning to fake his death whenever the next Eviltie attack happened.

On July 15th, the Evilties (this time led by Commander of All Eviltie Forces, Benjamin Fyr-Leknev) attacked New York. When the team and army soldiers went to fight, Konju planned with his friend Albert Johnson, to have Konju go into the line of fire and make it look as if he were shot in the head. In 2016 when asked about the process of faking his death Konju said "I was hoping for simply a fake, however I was perfectly willing to get shot, and actually pass on if it meant safety for the country and the team."

Konju ran out where Fyr-Leknev was facing off Zach Soclin and Pyro Kayron. Fyr-Leknev aimed at Konju's head. Konju shifted slightly so his head would not be hit. Meanwhile, Johnson was waiting in the corner with a water balloon filled with red-dyed water. When Fyr-Leknev fired, Johnson threw the balloon at Konju's head. Therefore, it looked as if Konju was shot in the head. Afterwards, an Eviltie Transport ran Johnson over. Fyr-Leknev boarded the transport and shot Johnson dead. Soclin, Kayron, and Lucy Soclin (who had just arrived) gathered around what they thought to be a dying Konju.

Kayron then ran after the transport and was followed by both Soclins. An army doctor then carried Konju to a military base. Konju went into disguise and had his head and beard shaved. He was pleased to hear the U.S. won the battle. A manequin of Konju was buried on July 22nd. While the team was gathered at his funeral, Konju disguised as a motorcyclist revealed himself as alive to the team. The team agreed to keep his survival a secret.

Korne Wars
In 2011, the United States began sending supplies to the planet of Korne, which was experiencing a famine. However, the Evilties sabatoged many of their efforts and in February 2012, the Evilties orchestrated the destruction of a Korne Relief Center, framing it on the United States. This outraged the Korne Government and they allied with the Evilties, declaring war on the United States. Konju realized that his theory was wrong and revealed himself as alive on March 4, 2012.

Fourth Battle of New York
On March 18, 2012, Eviltie and Korne Forces attacked New York City. Konju along with the team and the army, fought the Evilties and Korne. When the Eviltie Mothership fell, Konju evacuated New York on an evacuation ship, where he boarded a military aircraft carrier. New York City was destroyed.

Battle of Frostlandyaa
The next day, Jeremy Walker and Pyro Kayron, the only reported people in New York who had not been evacuated, arrived at the carrier. Intelligence reported that Frostlandyaans were building a superweapon, and it was speculated that it would be used against Earth. Therefore, a group of 5,000 troops, including the Legion 5, was sent to Frostlandyaa on April 1. Arriving on April 4th, Frostlandyaan Rebels gave property for the U.S. to set up bases.

Konju sent a strikeforce, led by Zach Soclin, Pyro Kayron, Jeremy Walker, and Collin Toomy to search for the superweapon and destroy it. Unknown to them, the Evilties knew of their discovery and they hid the superweapon and set up a fake one in their base. The team destroyed both the base and the fake weapon and came back believing that they destroyed it. However Evilties attacked their transports, leaving them unable to leave. A battle broke out at Slope Thorn. Konju fought on the frontlines killing about 73 Evilties. The battle lasted 7 weeks.

Two months later, a second battle, the battle of Crystal Oetlen broke out. Konju was shot in the leg and only killed 3 Evilties.

Konju did not participate in the Battle of Icen which took place a year later. Those three conflicts made up what was known as the battle of Frostlandyaa. Transports finally arrived in August of 2013.

Battle of Korne
While travelling from Frostlandyaa, one of the transports was shot down by a Korne Scout. This caused a general to order the transports go to Korne to fight. Konju was against this action but went along with it. Upon arrival, Kornians came out from fields and attacked. Konju managed to fend off the Kornians and defeat them but the battle took the life of 8 U.S. generals and 423 soldiers.

The Fifth Battle of New York and the End of the Korne Wars
After the arrival of the troops on August 29th there was mostly calm until March 6, 2014 when Eviltie and Korne forces attacked New York, almost 2 years after the Fourth Battle of New York, the first battle of the war. Collin Toomy had begun peace talks with King Sikl, which he finished during this battle. Konju was confused when he saw Kornians leaving, due to Sikl's Surrender Order, but Evilties were not. Konju attempted to attack the Kornians but most refused to attack back, except for one named Ileu who bit Konju in the arm but was killed by Konju.

Konju was invited to join the group sent to arrest Elf King aboard the Eviltie Stertiel Ship. Konju declined, opting instead to fight on the ground. The battle ended the war. Collin Toomy left the team to become King of Korne. Konju was present at the Trial of Michael Soclin, Jr. and testified against him. However, he did not support the death sentence given to Soclin, instead supporting life in prison. In April of 2015, reconstruction on New York City finished and Konju, along with the rest of the Legion 5 moved back into a new cave.

Kibbian Conflict (2015)
A year later, an alien named Kibby Kirbusson (the only survivor from the planet Popstar, the planet that the Eviltie Superweapon actually was used against) crash-landed in New York. Kirbusson built a new tower for the Legion 5 in the location of the cave using materials from the cave, abandoned buildings, and construction materials. Konju allowed the military to study Kibby. However, the military had been infiltrated by a group of terrorists. One of them, Ayaan Roteks was on the team of studying Kibby and he made sure to torture the alien. This caused Kibby to attack those studying. Kibby then attacked two generals guarding doors, and then escaped and ran back to the towers.

The next day, the military announced they had revoked their partnership with the Legion 5, and by 3:00 the Legion 5 had become fugitives. Konju took the team, along with Kirbusson to his old farm in Annapolis, Maryland which had been abandoned for 11 years.

On June 27, the army found Konju in Annapolis and a brief skirmish broke out. However, then Kibby revealed what happened and two terrorists, Roteks as well as his friend Hasan Murel, revealed themselves. A soldier, Juan Rodriguez shot Murel dead and Kirbusson killed Roteks. At that point Kirbusson explained what happened and the military dropped all charges. They said although the Legion 5 would not be joining them again they would ally to defeat the remaining terrorists. Konju, along with Kirbusson, the Legion 5, and the soldiers went to New York where they encountered the remaining 5 terrorists, Abu Ejiek, Solom Utain, Abu Ternamik, Poyott Rerli, and Soekrei Tejsk.

A battle broke out. 5 soldiers were killed, as well as Utain, Ternamik, and Tejsk, Tejsk being killed by Konju. Collin Toomy brought the Kornian Army which killed Utain. Ejiek and Rerli were arrested and sentenced with Eijek being executed in 2018 and Rerli being sentenced to life in prison. The military officially made peace with the team, Toomy rejoined, and Kirbusson was also initiated into the team.

Creating Dimension Travel
When the Legion 5 went on a space vacation, Konju worked on an idea he had had since the 1970s when he was in the hospital. Konju began working on a portal which he finished January 10, 2017, However, that night, he had a vision, the first one he had since 1946. In the vision he saw an alien, named Zanthro planning to take over the dimensions. Konju realized he could not defeat Zanthro alone but did his first dimension travel test on January 16, where he visited the Opposite, Animated, and Planetary Dimensions. The Legion 5 returned on February 11, 2017.

Dimension Hopping and meeting Jack
The next day, Konju informed the Legion 5 of Zanthro and they travelled throughout the dimensions to stop Zanthro. They first arrived in the Opposite Dimension, where Konju didn't fight, and 3 minutes later travelled to the animated dimension. Konju there killed a man named Anime Jale then travelling to the Ninja Dimension.

Konju was about to be attacked by the monster Holem, but Holem was destroyed by a young orphan named Jack, who was powerful with energy. Jack reminded Konju of Michael, Jr. and Konju opted to train him and not fail him this time. They then travelled to the dimension of darkness where Zanthro resided. Zanthro destroyed the nearby moons of Seudir, but was then killed by Jack. Konju then took the team back to New York where he privately initiated Jack on February 13, 2017.

2017 - 2019
Due to not having the portal close, the Legion 6, which came from the Opposite Dimension. Konju had to kill his opposite self who attempted to murder Konju with a chainsaw. Konju ended up using the chainsaw against his opposite self killing him. Konju then retreated back to the tower. However, Jeremy Walker then sacrificed himself to bait the remaining 3 members of the team. Walker ordered Konju to destroy the portal. Konju reluctantly did so, trapping Walker in the opposite dimension.

A year later, on December 23, Konju was once again encountered by Telepath, who informed Konju of a Russian scientist's plan to bring back the Soviet Union. Telepath also put the portal back together bringing Walker back. Telepath told Konju that he found out that the scientist, Victor Kranium, would be at a casino in Las Vegas. Therefore the team, along with Telepath went to Las Vegas, waiting for Kranium, but then realized by checking security tapes, that Kranium had already left. The team then saw that he would be going to Moscow, Russia. After arriving in Moscow at around 1:30 PM of December 24th. There, Konju sent Collin Toomy to scout Moscow to try to find Kranium. Meanwhile the team settled in an abandoned house. At around 8:30, Toomy returned, saying that he knew the house Kranium was at. Toomy had rented a car at 4:18, and he took the team to Kranium's house in it. They arrived at Kranium's house at 10:52. Not knowing who they were (Telepath was hiding) Kranium let the team in. When he saw Telepath however, Kranium took out an illegal handgun and fired, hitting Pyro Kayron in the chest as well as Collin Toomy in the shoulder, however Kayron was extremely durable and Toomy was wearing metal armor plating. Konju then attacked Kranium throwing him into his wall. Walker attempted to fight Kranium but was pushed back. Konju wacked Kranium in the head with his staff but was unsuccesful in knocking him out. Kranium fired at Konju, but Konju dodged the fire, tumbling into Kranium's bedroom. There, Konju found biological weapons Kranium was planning on unleashing on the people of Russia. Konju ran out of the house to destroy the weapons coming back at around 11:21. He climbed in through the bedroom window and then ran back out to fight Kranium. Kranium once again attempted to fire at Konju but was pushed into his basement by Telepath. Konju, along with Telepath and the rest of the team ran into the basement where they discovered Kranium's labratory. Kranium threw a bottle of acid at Konju but missed. Kranium pushed past the Legion 5 to run back upstairs but was chased by Konju, Telepath, Lucy Soclin, and Jack. Kranium ran into his room and barricaded the door, looking for the biological weapons. Konju then ran out of the house and smashed Kranium's window coming back into his room. Kranium slammed Konju's head against the wall, but Konju grabbed Kranium and threw him out of the house, then opening Kranium's door and informing the members in the hall that Kranium was outside. Konju ran out of the house to find Kranium standing with his handgun aimed at Konju's head. Kranium fired but missed hitting a stray animal. The gunshot frightened sleeping citizens and Kranium rushed back into the house to hide, pushing past Konju. Konju ran to Kranium's window but Kranium had sealed it. He then realized Kranium's door had also been locked, so he jumped onto Kranium's roof and jumped down Kranium's chimney. He landed in Kranium's fireplace and ran back into Kranium's basement. There Kranium was cornered by the Legion 5 as well as Telepath. Kranium then took out the gun and aimed it at Zach Soclin's head. As he was about to fire however, at exactly 12:00 of Christmas Day, Kranium was torn apart into a million pieces by Telepath. With Kranium's death, the team decided to go back to New York. Later in the day, Konju initiated Telepath into the Legion 5.

On February 7, 2019, Konju got a transmission from the planet Hevlek, which said they were having a crisis with their light, as such, Konju and the team went to Hevlek arriving on February 9th. Konju met with the ambassador, but Zach Soclin caught the culprit, a girl named Ava Scone. Thus the crisis was solved, but Konju saw that Ava was powerful, and on February 12th, initiated her into the Legion 5.

Skirmish at Central Park
On March 20, 2019, four men came to the Legion 5 Towers, and revealed themselves as future versions of Jeremy Walker, Telepath, Jack (from 2044), and Jack (from 2045). They told Konju that the Elf King was bringing an army to destroy the Legion 5 Towers. Konju assembled the team, as well as the future versions to fight. When the Elf King's army arrived, Konju left the tower to fight. He killed 32 Eviltie Soldiers. Both future versions of Jack were killed. The battle ended when the future version of Walker sacrificed his life to destroy the Eviltie Mothership. Elf King ordered a full retreat of all forces and they left on troop transports. The next day, the future version of Telepath went back to 2044, hoping the future would be beter as Konju and the rest of the team watched.

The Great Battle of 2020
On February 26, 2020, the Elf King came back with the army. Konju dueled Elf King behind the tower and he was saved by the Telepath from 2045, who blasted Elf King across the park. 2045 Telepath then faded out of excistence due to not being able to go into his 27 year sleep. Elf King, wounded, ordered a retreat, telling Konju he would be back. When Konju went inside the tower, he found Stardom, who had refused to retreat. After dueling, Konju knocked Stardom unconcious and Stardom was sucked into a portal transporting him across dimensions.
