Generation Legacy Issue #12

[Agamon]

Anika lets out a sigh as the foes fall. She smiles at Karen. "Thanks for the assist. That thing wanted to squish my head, I think."

Hearing Sarah's warning and Gadget's estimate, she frowns. "Crap. How fast can you search this place for Kelly, Mark? I'll get started on re-opening the portal, but we shouldn't dawdle...." Anika then concentrates on getting her portal back to the Institute open once more.

OOC: That'll cost another HP...can't wait for her next level

Mark was still staring at his wound when Legion's voice came over the intercom. Great. Better and better.

Hearing Sarah's warning and Gadget's estimate, she frowns. "Crap. How fast can you search this place for Kelly, Mark? I'll get started on re-opening the portal, but we shouldn't dawdle...." Anika then concentrates on getting her portal back to the Institute open once more.

"Already on it. Everyone fall back to Anika's position," Mark took off searching room by room at full speed, banking off the wall as he did.

I guess that's a room to room search with Quickness. If Mark finds Kelly's or Tommy's bodies, he breaks off search and returns them to the portal before continuing.

Karen glances once more at the ape's head before returning Anika's smile, "I-it's nothing. I'm not gonna let some oversized tin can squish my friends. But I think I owe Charlotte a new shirt..."

SARAH’s voice speaks, “Final Protocol End-Game Zeta 3-6-X-1 initiated. All personnel evacuate immediately. Repeat all-personnel evacuate immediately. Or you will die.”

"Oh no..."

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"Guests can leave demon, I cannot. You were more honest earlier when you said I was a prisoner." Cassie says as she clenches a fist, only to be startled the sound of the crystal in her hand crushing under her strenght and the bite of fragments in her flesh for a moment.

"Guests can leave demon, I cannot. You were more honest earlier when you said I was a prisoner." Cassie says as she clenches a fist, only to be startled the sound of the crystal in her hand crushing under her strenght and the bite of fragments in her flesh for a moment.

Flashfire shrugs, “Guest or prisoner, it means little difference. You are here and that has not changed.”

When the crystal cracks, Cassie for a moment believes she hears a whisper of pain. She feels the pang of loss, finality in this moment. She then loses consciousness and everything goes black…

The Dreamscape…

Cassie wakes up, lying on soft green grass. The sky is a bright blue, a shimmering sun shining over head. A robed figure stands over, its dark gray robes are still and its hands are unseen. From the cowl of its hood three red eyes peer down at her.

She feels more then hears the following words, “Cassandra, I am Fortune, an Eternal. Do you wish to see how you came to be?”

Mark and Company

There is a flash of light; Tommy and Mr. Smith carrying Kelly appear. Tommy looks upset, “Worst investment I have ever made. Kelly will be fine with proper medical care, and despite what you have seen, my death is a vast exaggeration. But first we have to save Kelly’s mother… Ryan is near her location… he could possibly save her… of course we have four minutes and forty-five seconds to get out of here.”

“Mark, get to Ryan, it can help disrupt Legion long enough to free Kismet,” Tommy hands him a cylindrical ball of metal, “all you have to do is throw it.”

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Cassie bows deeply to Fortune, strangely feeling it was appropiate.

"If I may, Fortune." Cassie says calmly. Her concern warring with her curiousity.

“Then we shall begin, Cassandra,” the being moves away from her down the hill without another word. It moves slowly, almost methodically, but time itself seems to be moving quickly around them. The hill gives way to the void of space, or just the void as she can see no stars.

Then a bright burst of cosmic proportions bursts into being, she can see the birth of galaxies, even whole universes. It is a disorienting feeling. Fortune stops moving and stares off as time slows down to normal.

“In the beginning, there were only us. We did not create the multiverse, it created us. We exist defined by our roles and we were many in that time. But now we are few. The war consumed many of us, the first war, before conflict of any kind was known in the multiverse,” Fortune speaks, though as before, Cassie feels the words more so then hears them.

She can see entities now, beings. Floating in the stillness of space is a large white disc, with the backdrop of a bloated red star in the background. She picks out Chaos, Chrono, and even the Overseer among the beings gathered. Even Fortune stands aloof, amidst these Eternals.

Her attention is drawn once more to the bloated star. Even the beings on the disc focus their gaze on it. But her eyes are drawn to a slight figure, a young woman standing at Overseer’s side…

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Cassie takes a long appraising look at the female and The Overseer.

"I know the Overseer from what Chaos told me, who is the woman? One of your kind killed by him? This war, how did you all fail to stop him at first?" Cassie asks calmly.

"I know the Overseer from what Chaos told me, who is the woman? One of your kind killed by him? This war, how did you all fail to stop him at first?" Cassie asks calmly.

“She is Hope,” the words resonate through her body, “she represents all that the Multiverse could be. She and the Overseer were close, in this time they would be as your mortal mind would recognize it, in love.”

Fortune moves closer to the woman, she is taller then Cassie, but that is where the differences end. She is statuesque and graceful, a long gown covering her perfect feminine frame. She looks over her shoulder as if looking at Cassie, as if looking into a distorted mirror of the future… or the past.

She sees then Chrono giving the two a venomous look as the Eternals begin to depart the white disc… Fortune speaks, “Fail? It seems that what you have been told, and what has truly occurred are not in alignment. Wait and you shall have your answers.”

 

[Shalimar]

Kelly moans softly as she is teleported yet again, it was quickly becoming her least favorite mode of travel, it always seemed to put her in worse and worse places. "No offense to James...but I'd rather stick to flying...I'm starting to hate teleporting." the popstar says whimsically, "maybe you can come up with another...all this here then not here then over there is hurting my head...makes me dizzy...or maybe sn't that t'all." Kelly says smiling wanly at her friends, slurring her words.

"Save..my...mom...please." she says to the Legacy teens, speaking slowly and deliberately to be clearly understood, after that her eyes close, and her hair falls like a curtain around her face, not asleep just resting.
