Meanwhile on Earth: Majestic, the dark side of the Moon
The being that is simply called Overseer, watched as his plan moved to fruition, the pieces were finally coming together. The patience that only an Eternal could muster was finally paying off. Victory, and vengeance were both in his grasp, all that stood in his way was one boy, one boy and a legacy. A tall slender male with dark gray skin, and a long robe entered the long chamber, his baldhead , quite large for his frame. His eyes were red with no pupils, and his very presence was disturbing to most. The figure bowed to Overseer, his massive black crystalline form, seated upon his throne, his eyes watching his servant show him the proper respect.
“Milord, the Dimensional Flux Engine has worked nearly as prescribed, your genius has once again humbled me,” the man spoke in a rasp.
Overseer spoke his voice echoing through the hall, “I am aware of the permutations across the globe, they were expected.”
“Of course, but, we are aware that Genocide and the Red Witch, were not the only ones able to pass through the void, the effect has displaced countless individuals from both sides of the veil,” he replied keeping his head bowed.
“Interesting, now that I was not aware that may cause a problem if one of those metahuman heroes is able to… but I suspect that this has already happened,” Overseer replied his mind already calculating the possibilities.
“Many of those affected, we believe to be of little threat, but two though may prove to be much more difficult to dispose of. Our agents report that both Miracle Girl, and Kid Paragon may have followed Genocide and the Red Witch to the other side,” the man replied.
“Then we must rely on Genocide and Red Witch to dispatch of them, in short order, and continue with the mission as planned. Until you have better news to report leave me, I must think,” he replied, his voice a command that the servant could not deny.
The Place Between the Worlds
Chrono sighed as she felt another presence near her, “Chaos I do not think I am in the mood for your games. Your little jaunt has not gone unnoticed, it was foolish. You have interfered with the mortals.”
Chaos floated behind Chrono grinning, “The council is convening, they are concerned at the apparent return and strength of Overseer. Your presence is requested, I mean well not so much requested as in expected.”
Chrono turned, “The council will squabble, they have no idea how precious time is, by the time a decision is made, there will be nothing left to save.”
Chaos shrugs, “Interesting isn’t it? I mean on the one hand, I do not want to see wanton destruction but on the other hand, I say, why not? It would shake up the natural order of things right?”
Chrono replied, “He will come for the boy.”
“It isn’t the boy I am worried about, you know just how sensitive, and powerful his sister may be?” Chaos replied with a mischievous smile.
“I am well aware of her role in this mess, it was a mistake on my part that I cannot fix,” she replied flatly.
“That is what you get for trying to control destiny, didn’t I tell you about a little thing called the chaos theory?” Chaos replied with a smile.
Earth: Legacy, A Lone Monastery in Nepal
She sat alone, there was only silence and her thoughts, and the fact that she knew what could not be known. The room would have been dimly lit, if her body did not give off an inhuman glow, it was a soft purple, and the air literally crackled with energy, as she meditated. But there was no peace within, only a growing storm, a typhoon of rage, burning within the heart of a woman the world feared, but yet had never seen.
She was the Cardinal.
A leader of a loose band of resistance warriors dedicated to one thing, to preserve the future of the Earth by any means needed. The elites of the world were that means, they alone had the power to guide humanity through the darkness to come. But she alone could see it, she rarely lived in the now, she lived only in the moments to come. It was her gift, and her curse, to be the prophet to so many.
She was the Cardinal.
But now the one thing she feared most was coming to past, her apostles were not ready, all along they believed this was about elite superiority, but it was about survival. Many would not understand that today was the start of a war, a war unlike anything known before. A war not between states, nor nations, but a war between worlds; they would learn what true evil was. She had honed her apostles into soldiers, taking out key objectives that would impede the progress of her children. They call her monster, they call her beast, but she was prepared for that. She did not need their approval, she did not need their fame, and there were greater things then that in this world, there is simply victory.
Her eyes opened slowly, as she saw the now. She felt the ripple, the first of many, stones cast into the sea of fate. Her children waited patiently for her to come down from the mountain and spread the new gospel, the new commandments. The time had come, it was now, and despite herself, she knew there was only path to victory. The ends would justify her means.
She was the Cardinal.
