Generation Legacy Issue #15

"You think it's a big deal? Usually something blows up or something when something big happens," Anika says before pausing and adding, "Did I just use the word 'something' three times in a sentence? We really need to get back to classes, I'm losing my vocabulary."

She stays seated, but keeps alert, just in case something really is doing something.

(OOC: sorry, I'm tired )

"You think it's a big deal? Usually something blows up or something when something big happens," Anika says before pausing and adding, "Did I just use the word 'something' three times in a sentence? We really need to get back to classes, I'm losing my vocabulary."

"I'm ready for boring school days any time," Mark agreed. "Or standing around while people take my picture."

 

[Mimic]

At first Gilden hits a lot of static in the mind, but slowly this gives way to what can best be described as a mist and then a flat featureless plan. There is one home, a cabin of sorts sitting in the middle of this white featureless plain.

The expanse goes on forever.

Gilden takes note of the surroundings, not exactly what he imagined it would be like, perhaps this wasn't Chaos just a troubled child. With a mental shrug he heads towards the cabin examining it quickly before knocking on the door.

Gilden takes note of the surroundings, not exactly what he imagined it would be like, perhaps this wasn't Chaos just a troubled child. With a mental shrug he heads towards the cabin examining it quickly before knocking on the door.

Gilden gets closer and sees a young man tending to the garden probably not much older then maybe Ryan or Mark. He has short red hair worn wild and tanned skin. He looks up with a surprised look, “Hi, I wasn’t expecting company.”

He stands dusting off his hands, “Umm, who are you, you look familiar?”

Back in the Real World

There is just silence. Then power goes out, everything goes dead before the emergency systems kick online. Then the power grid seems to come back online but still no communications. Aya looks around, “That was weird.”

Gadget grabs her head and collapses… “Owwwwww….. owwwwwwww.”

Back at the Institute

Bishop just shakes his head. Kiyana recovers thanking Ryan.

Ryan gets to the Infirmary, but James’ is gone. Several of the baseline medical personnel have been disposed of in very bloody and messy ways. In the distance Ryan can see smoke, the normally visible VSC Tower is missing from the skyline along with just about everything else in Mudaba Adin…

Cassie

Sami holds her close, “Cassie, I am here, I am not sure what all is happening but I am here-”

The roof suddenly collapses and Sami pushes Cassie aside as the rubble crushes the poor youth… the last thing she hears is Sami’s voice saying, “Cassie noooo-”

 

[Hammerhead]

"Sick bastards," Ryan mutters, staring down at the dead doctors and nurses. God, they helped people. They weren't soldiers. They weren't a threat. Their only mistake was to work here. "And it looks like I wasn't there for James...," Ryan says softly.

"My God...it's all gone. The city. Everyone dead..." Ryan's voice just trails off as his fist clench together and a look of murderous hatred enters his eyes. He stands perfectly still, staring off at the destruction on the horizon. The living. I need to focus on the living. My God, how could she do this, just to get one teenage girl... who may or may not be from another time. Hell, I would have delivered her myself. But this...

Cardinal, I thought there were similarities between us. I kind of understood the kind of weight you had to feel...the consuming duty to protect Earth from some extradimensional madman. I'm a person who would do almost anything to stop Overseer; I just thought you were missing the almost. But no, the term "person" no longer applies. Mexico City. Mudaba Adin.You're no different from Overseer...and you might be worse. You will regret this, Cardinal.

Focus on the living, he reminded himself harshly. "There's probably more people here who are still alive," he announces, choking back the bitter sorrow. "Let's see if anyone else is still alive, help them. Then we check the city." Ryan then heads off towards the dormitories and the cafeteria, reasoning there would be the greatest concentration of staff and students.

Karen quickens her steps when the power goes down, the world takes on a bluish tint as her saphire eyes compensate for the sudden lack of light. She was close to the infirmary when the power comes back on, the return of the lights stagger her for a split second as her overly sensitive eyes adjust back to the normal spectrum, "What's going on here? Kal? Is everything alright?"

"Let's see if anyone else is still alive, help them. Then we check the city." Ryan then heads off towards the dormitories and the cafeteria, reasoning there would be the greatest concentration of staff and students.

Focus on the living, Jun Min echoes in his mind. “The psychic backlash from so much death… you don’t want to hear what I have heard. Ryan, we will bring her to justice.”

Bishop is already trying to help students in the dormitories.

Ryan spots Cassie, she seems okay given the circumstances. He believes he spotted Paragon flying to the city, but there is no telling with all the chaos. His phone isn’t working, and it seems that everything has gone to hell.

Jun Min adds, “Cardinal is insane. She isn’t a human being, she is truly a monster.”

Bishop nods, “She believes that what she is doing is the only way to do it. She believes that driving a wedge between humanity and elites will bring them to her side, she wants control of everything. She wants her children back under her thumb.”

Jun Min lands near Cassie, “She has to die.”

Karen

Kal is drugged up and barely responds, out like a lamp.

The nurse gives Karen a blank smile, “I am sure it is just a minor power surge.”

"Well count me glad that I don't owe my gifts to that crazy psycho," Ryan says, searching for someone to help. His powers allowed him to clear rubble and debris easily, and his healing gifts could repair most injuries.

"Anika had a little vision back in the summer about how fighting Cardinal helps Overseer, or something...but I don't really feel like letting someone else's visions control my actions." On the other hand, we could use Cardinal's power against Overseer, to say nothing of her little death squad. And she might not survive the battle anyway...I don't want to end up killing her if it means the cosmic power disappears forever, or goes to Oversee or the Red Witch or something.

"What happens if we did end up killing Cardinal, though? As it stands, we seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. Kelly's dead and James is missing," he says, turning towards Cassie. "Do you know who else we lost?"

Karen

Kal is drugged up and barely responds, out like a lamp.

The nurse gives Karen a blank smile, “I am sure it is just a minor power surge.”

Karen smiles endearingly at her sleeping boyfriend, she always liked watching him sleep, he looked so peaceful when he was asleep. She looks up at the nurse, "Does that happen a lot around here?"

 

[Samnell]

Gadget grabs her head and collapses… “Owwwwww….. owwwwwwww.”

Mark lunged to catch Gadget as she began to collapse, her knees slowly giving out and her body falling inches at a time. He slipped neatly under her and got his arms under Gadget's shoulders to gently lower her down.

"Gotcha."
