Generation Legacy (Issue #5)

[Sen Udo-Mal]

James is happy to be watching TV with Kiyana, making small talk ("what the heck are we going to do with 3 and a half million dollars a year!?!?!") when the news report about Mexico City comes in. James sits on the edge of the seat scanning the different news reports "Whoa, this is totally crazy! Who would destory a whole city? I mean Mexico City has a big population doesn't it? All those people..."

 

[Aenion]

"I am pleased to meet you Ruby," Kal replies his costume, or suit, shifting to look more natural, although the style looks dated, something reminiscent of the styles at the turn of the century (1998-2001), Aris follows suit as well, and stretches wearing some hip hugging jeans, and a tank top, showing off even more blue skin.

Aris speaks, "So uhh, what do you guys do around here for fun?"

Charles just rolls his eyes, "Kids will never change," he mutters.

Karen shrugs, "I don't really know, I've only been here for about an hour. Shao-Lin is the first student I've met since I arrived, the rest seem to have gone out to whatever they do around here."

James is happy to be watching TV with Kiyana, making small talk ("what the heck are we going to do with 3 and a half million dollars a year!?!?!") when the news report about Mexico City comes in. James sits on the edge of the seat scanning the different news reports "Whoa, this is totally crazy! Who would destory a whole city? I mean Mexico City has a big population doesn't it? All those people..."

Kiyana just blinks at the screen, as they show footage via CNN, the smoking crater that is Mexico City, the fires raging, the damage to the surrounding terrain... it looks like total chaos, and the JEB are already there, from the looks of it... trying to save what they can, but from the looks of it, the only survivors would be those outside the center of the blast....

The footage suddenly goes black, and then the CNN correspondent returns back to the screen in the studio, "It seems that the UN has deemed the area a war-zone, and all press access has been blocked. A state of Emergency has been called, and the United States along with a coalition of local countries are working to ameliorate the Mexico City Incident. As before no one has yet to claim, any evidence of what could have caused such devastation on such a massive scale."

Kiyana gasps, "This is horrible, how can something like this happen? Who would do this?"

The male correspondent continues, "It is not known at this time if the world wide anomolies may be linked to this catastrophe. But many scientists and analysts belive the two incidents may be linked, but nothing conclusive has been brought forward." On the side of the screen several menus are available as both the virtua net, and news are interlinked creating an interactive experience.

Kiyana just sits back unable to speak, not even sure what to think.

Cassie keeps quiet for most of the retreat back to the school, speaking quietly just before the team re-enters the grounds.

"I think.. this ties into some of what I experienced over the last few days. There is some elements that seem to be building to convergence." looks out the window. "though I confess I do not have an understanding of elements involved." after a bit she glances to look Ryan just before they stop. "I don't suppose you want to have that talk now Ryan?"

 

[Shalimar]

Kelly landed in courtyard slightly ahead of the others, before turning to face them and the two other sudents. She is doing her best to smile at the other students, and make her publicist, but it is a sad smile as it is unable to keep out the worry of her appearance, and over what had happened to her and Charles. She shut her eyes for a few seconds when Charles informed her of what he was doing, it always creeped her out, and she wished father hadn't been able to do it, it just seemed unnatural for a human to be able to think at a computer and have it think back at him.

"That is soo creepy." she says shivering sllightly, and charles knows that with her powers, the shivers have nothing to do with the weather. At the 'Oh my God' comment she sighs internally and plasters a winsome smileon her face. "Yea, we're fine, Our Aerodyne exploded, so I hope you'll forgive me the state of my clothes." she says, giving the impression that she is taking the other girl into her confidences.

Kelly nodded at Aris's comment, the place certainly seemed nice, even if it wasn't as nice as some of the places she had gone before, after the last few hours, it was certainly well received. "You know, all my clothes and pretty much everything else was on board that Aerodyne, so you know what that means right?" she asks Charles with the smile she had put on for Karen turning genuine as she looked at Charles, knowing how much her shopping trips irritated him, well he should be pleased, its not like they could just jet off to New York or Milano at a whim, so her fooray's would be limited to the local mall and what she could buy online, though there wasn't much of a limit there.

"Hi Ruby, you can call me Kelly, if you want."

Ryan was far too tired after healing everyone to respond to Paragon's comments. Geez, I heal EVERYONE, I yell at them to get out of here, I exhaust myself doing so, and what recognition do I get? If this is what being on Legacy will be like, I'll pass. But on the other hand, that team will get me several million dollars a year; I couldn't pass on that. And now Mexico City is destroyed? I don't think the Pantheon was responsible for that. This is really, really bad. Does it have anything to do with Sarah going unconscious? What if it has something to do with me? These thoughts flash through his mind on the drive back to the institute. We should really stop going to the malls. I wonder if they'll even let us in this time. Cassandra's question interrupts his thoughts just as the van begins to slow to a stop.

Ryan sighs, facing Cassandra. "Okay, Cassandra. I know that something wierd happened to you and Yoshi in your room, and that you and James went somewhere when the rest of us were beating ourselves up. I figured it has something to with me. More than that, it has something to do with your past, or else you probably would have told me. What's going on?"

More than that, it has something to do with your past, or else you probably would have told me. What's going on?"

"Well what would you like to talk about?" motions for him to walk with her on the grounds. "I admit there is a bit of confusion involved with what happened to me and Yoshi." As they walk in the part she tells him all that went on with the trip to the future, leaving out very little. "It seems that events hinge on you and to a lesser extent myself." looks at him. "You must never be taken by the enemy, if you are.. the world.. well Yoshi seems to think it wasn't a nice place."

Looks away for a moment. "You've got a lot of potential Ryan, you did good in the mall. But.." tilts her head for a moment. "You carry the past on your shoulders like a great weight. Sometimes I can see the pain, and from my limited perview.. I think you're about to lash out at anyone." touches his hand lightly. "Don't. One thing I discovered from my .. heritage is this.. you set your own standards, I don't intend to be a weapon of murder, and chaos. I plan on being myself. You should do the same. DOn't set your actions and self against another person, or.. as some of our more eastern oriented folks might say. 'be true to yourself."

Sighs for a moment she thinks of what Chaos and tells Ryan of the encounter, leaving out what the bizaar man said might happen to herself. "So, there you are. The whole of the matter. " smiles. "So, if I may.. why are you always so angry?"

 

[Agamon]

Anika watches helplessly as Paragon flies off with Sarah. She looks at Jun Min as she announces that they are to leave. She doesn't quite catch what was said, but she follows the others out anyway. Listening to the reports on the way back, she can only think, "What's going on...?

Upon their return, and seeing in the school monitors the devastation in Mexico City, she's mortified. "Gods, it's Armegeddon..." is all she can mumble. She then heads quickly to her room to try an contact her family.

Ryan shrugs. "Okay, I'll never be taken by an enemy alive. Should be simple enough, I guess." Okay, Cassandra thinks I have potential. How comforting. Great, and now she's talking like Shaolin. Oh well, this is Cassandra, a teammate. I had better pay attention. "Cassandra, what you're saying sounds a little far out. I mean...how should I put this...you think you're some kind of super soldier from the future? No offense, Cassandra, but a lot of people would be a lot better soldiers than you. I mean, you couldn't even really hurt me if I did this." To illustrate, Ryan draws away from Cassandra's touch and surrounds himself with a glowing barrier of cosmic energy.

"And I do plan on setting myself against people, like the guys who are trying to get people. And punks like Jimmy. And the spy, assuming he isn't Jimmy."

So apparently some powerful elites like Chaos and Chrono think I'm needed for some reason. Why? To power some kind of evil Pantheon action? Because my abilities are similar to Cardinal's? And what about Cassandra being some kind of temporal anomaly?

"So what's this about you being unmade or something? Some kind of anomaly? I mean, how do we prevent this? And I'm not angry at the world Cassandra," Ryan replies, exasperated. "Why would you say that?

Charlotte wanders off, losing herself within the racks of clothing, searching for something...unique. Black had always been her color, she supposed it was perhaps the insect in her that caused her to behave in such a way-but it suited her just fine.

She takes a few things out of there she likes, checking the prices to make sure things aren't too expensive-but in the end she finds that at most she could afford probably two or three sets of clothing with her credit-depending on how she spent it.

I really don't want to be in debt to those other girls, however nice they may seem.

Meanwhile, she glances at a rather expensive dress made of silk in front of her, it looked like it would be a bit tight around her waist, but the arms of it looked pretty loose-just the way she had liked it. She bites her lip in indecision, but upon doing so she feels it squirm slightly, and she promptly stops.
