Generation Legacy Issue #14 "Genocide" - Part 2

[Hammerhead]

"Hope." he says quietly. "It broke him."

"Huh. So who killed her? The same one who's setting up this conspiracy to kill Overseer?"

"I don't know., neither does Fate or Choas. I think that whoever it is will have something to gain by his death as much as they did by his fall."

"I'm going to guess Chrono, since Sarah's too young and she's the only one left. Okay, case closed."

Cassie blinks. "You know of more about the Eternals? I doubt whoever did this left any evidence behind. Or the Overseer would ahve destroyed them." He rubs his head.. "Look the reason I tried so hard with you.. I don't know.. you must have something .. particular about you. It doesn't make sense for your gaining these powers to be random. Just like I doubt Cardinal's gaining the powers she got is random. If Chance and I are right, whoever is responsible for the Murder of Hope.. she might be bheind all this as well."

He slumps down onto the floor. "I'll be honest Ryan, I don't understand things outside books and fighting to get a grip on the how-to's and Why-fors of this. I need someone who understands duplicity and twisted logic. You know me.. someone crosses me, I hit them. I'm direct and to the point, might be why I dislike the way things are turning out lately."

The transplanted girl looks tired, confused and just a bit frustrated at the situation. "I'm getting better but this person is beyond my .. grasp of 'normal' actions and motives."

"Cassie's going to help, so we'll have Ryan's powers. Looks like her and Ryan are getting along well enough to at least talk about it. It's kinda weird. She seems really determined to have Ryan like and accept her. Hmmm," Anika/Mark states, cocking an eyebrow.

Mark/Karen wiggled Karen's crystalline eyebrows and smiled knowingly, "Doesn't Ryan have a history of getting into relationships with girls he fights with? I guess it's good that she can move on after Yoshi."

"If it is an eternal that is manipulating you and Ryan then the first thing you should understand is that they are not persons. They do not think or act the way we do, everything they do is defined by thier aspect, the way they think, act, react everything. They may look human, they may act human but they aren't. Chaos does what he does because of what he is, there is no other course for him and it is the same for the others."

"Agreed,, but you also have to understand that my existance might hint towards a broader overall plan. Just as Ryan's gaining the power of Overseer might not be a coincedence. There are bigger moves in this battle, and I don't think any one of us has all the perspective to see the moves. Choas said as much about Eternals, they aren't human.. and to apply human patterns to them might lead us to failure. BUT, they are living breathing entitites with emotions." Cassie says as she considers the issues. "Overseer initiallly struck out at the entirity of existance out of greif. Chaos does.. unbelivably powerful things.. on a whim. To forment change, and we've all seen enough of his actions to show he's not just doing it all on whim. If we can figure out what.. 'mother's'' plan is, we can figure how to turn it against her and Overrseer. I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired of being a pawn."

Someone crosses her and she hits them? Is she kidding me? Maybe someone crosses you and you make sniping comments then write about it on your website. Is she saying I understand twisted logic and duplicity? I wonder why Cassie thinks she's some kind of bad ass super soldier? Under normal circumstances, everyone in this room could take her...well, except for James. And Kiyana. And Tim, of course. And maybe Gadget...I've yet to see her bust out anything really cool But still.

"Gilden, you're wrong. I've interacted with Eternals on several occassions, and while they're unquestionably different, they're still understandable. In fact, their very appearance highlights this. Especially since that the Eternals recruit here...I don't think you've met our old friend Sarah, but she turned into an Eternal named Sanctuary," Ryan says with a smug grin. Talk about being a know-it-all.

"Cassie, I think you may want to step back and drop the rhetoric. This 'mother' person wants to kill Overseer. Overseer wants to kill me and everyone I know. Therefore, I want to kill Overseer. The enemy of an enemy..."

Mark/Karen wiggled Karen's crystalline eyebrows and smiled knowingly, "Doesn't Ryan have a history of getting into relationships with girls he fights with? I guess it's good that she can move on after Yoshi."

Anika/Mark gives Mark/Karen a look. "Um, you do remember who you're talking to? Besides, we didn't fight at all back then, not until the end, anyway. And it ain't going to happen. Ryan really doesn't like her very much and I don't think Cassie really respects him, at least not any more."

 

[Aenion]

"That's a good point," Mark/Karen admitted. "But I'd be more worried about Ryan's strength than Kal's. He has the powers we were depending on to go hand-to-hand with Genocide. I guess I'll be going in there too with Karen's powers. It'll work out."

Karen stops her most recent bout of exercises near herself and Anika/Mark, beads of sweat forming on her forehead and breathing heavily from exertion, she was pushing Cassie's body pretty hard, "Actually Gilden's camping in my boyfriend's body and I think Gadget's in Tina's body."

She looks a bit puzzled at Cassie and Ryan, "I'm not sure what Cassie wants with Ryan but I think..." she hesitates for a second looking at Mark's body, "Anika's right," she shrugs, "So how are you feeling?" she asks Mark/Karen, she had to admit she looked a little silly in Kal's oversized shirts.
