Generation Legacy (Issue #5)

[Hammerhead]

Ryan sighed, shaking his head. "I believe you, strangely enough. This is...bizarre." What's more bizarre is that I believe these two. How many unbelieveable things have happened today? I got a date, with Anika no less, Mexico City was completely destroyed, and now the man trying to kidnap me is revealed. Overseer, some guy from another parallel dimension who plans on invading this one. The psychic incident that occurred today was likely the time of the dimensional gateway or whatever where he sent through his agents Genocide and Red Witch. This is really weird.

"So, Kal and Aris, let me get this straight. You're elites at some kind of elite academy from a parallel Earth. Overseer is some big bad guy in your world, and the parallel Ryan, Captain Cosmo or something, stopped him. So now he is trying to invade this world, and he's sending in his goons Genocide and Red Witch to try and get me, because I'm the parallel Captain Cosmo and have kind of power that can stop him. So that's why he's been sending all these goons after me before this. The psychic incident of today occurred because of this dimensional breach, right? This is correct, right?"

"And now you're telling me I shouldn't help take this guy down? You think I've been sitting here, twiddling my thumbs and doing nothing? This is our world!" Ryan folds his arms, staring at Kal and Aris. "Now then, where do we start?"

Karen listens to Ryan's rather impassioned speech before adding "I'd like to help you guys in any way I can, like Ryan said it's not just your world that is in danger our world is too. Besides that other guy said that some members of Legacy have already been recruited, they might be able to help anyway, even if the team hasn't been officially formed."

Mark and James

Kiyana nods, “I guess you are right, Mark,” she tries to cheer up, “I hope that the elites just do what they are supposed to do, and register. I mean that is the right thing to do right?”

Mr. McCallister stands in the doorway, “That just depends on which side of the fence your on. It is choice everyone has to make for themselves, to do the right thing, or what is expected you, or what you believe you have to do. And no, not all of them are the same thing.”

James looks back at Mr. McCallister and while he nods he is not sure about everything he is saying he sure talks cryptic like every now and again? James then stands up and says "Kiyana want go outside for a while? I just can't watch any more news about this... I have to clear my head, I mean I am just sick to my stomach about all of this... so much killing and death." James waits to see what she says, not sure if he wants to be alone or not right now with all his thoughts... but then again any time with her sure does make him feel better. "Want to tag along Mark? Hey how was the trip to the mall? No problems I hope."

"Thanks," Charlotte says, taking a small sip of wine from the glass, finding a chair to sit upon and then resting in it. Her legs cross almost automatically as she begins to make herself comfortable, sinking in the chair with the glass still in her hand.

"Everythings been fun so far, anything else on the agenda list?" She says as she takes another sip of wine with an elegant sort of grace.

I've never really had much wine before, but a glass doesn't seem like its too much...

Kelly nods worriedly, she hadn't thought at all about who it was that was going to be enforcing the registration. Well, I wont do that to anyone, I'll just let them get away, she thinks to herself unhappily. "Hey, this'll make Pantheon much more populer among Elites, they're practically an army already, and if registration happens they'll get huge." she exclaims.

Kelly blushes at Jimmy's question, she had never actually gone to a school dance before, and despite the fact that she had wanted him to ask, she couldn't help but get a bit excited about it. "I'd love to go with you to the dance, now don't laugh, but I've never actually been to a dance, so its a first for me." she says nodding and smiling excitedly. "Hey, you don't think your friend could get Smirnoff Ice could he? Its like my favorite." She asks him, obliquely agreeing to go to the lake with Jimmy and his friends.

"I am curious.. is Ryan the only.. analog you've found on our world?" Cassie asks curious. "I mean. .. theoretically there could be another Overseer here as well.. if he's human.. and these others he sent over.. what sort of power are we looking at when we face them."

Anika is sitting cross-legged on her bed, trying to read a book, but her mind keeps wandering. She throws the book closed and sighs, "This isn't helping. I need some air." She gets up and heads for the garden. She eventually comes upon Jimmy sitting with a girl she doesn't recognize. She didn't catch anything being said, but she notices the familiar way that they're acting. She raises an eyebrow, and says, "Uh, hey, Jimmy," she says to him. She nods to the other girl, "Hi." She looks back to Jimmy, "Hey, uh, have you heard how Sarah is doing? I hope she's okay..."

 

[Samnell]

James looks back at Mr. McCallister and while he nods he is not sure about everything he is saying he sure talks cryptic like every now and again? James then stands up and says "Kiyana want go outside for a while? I just can't watch any more news about this... I have to clear my head, I mean I am just sick to my stomach about all of this... so much killing and death." James waits to see what she says, not sure if he wants to be alone or not right now with all his thoughts... but then again any time with her sure does make him feel better. "Want to tag along Mark? Hey how was the trip to the mall? No problems I hope."

"Sure. I don't feel a lot like taking a run anymore."

"The mall was a lot like last time, only we didn't actually have to hit anyone. Sarah collapsed, though and John was picking up some thoughts like someone was going to do something. We had to leave kind of fast, but I got some new clothes." Mark indicates his outfit. "And some stuff for the dance."

Ryan, Cassie, and Karen

Kal smiles, “Now that sounds like Captain Cosmos, and no we are not elite students, I am assuming you call what we call metahumans, elites. As a matter of fact, I go to high school at Freedom City High, along with Aris, who is not really a metahuman, but an alien princess from the Solaran Empire, long story, too long to get into here.”

Aris replies to Karen, “Well we just didn’t want to put you guys into danger, I mean Genocide, is tough, and the Red Witch is a crafty master of the Dark Arts, so I wouldn’t want to mess with her, in any way shape or form. But if you guys want to help, then I am not going to stop you,” she smiles.

Kal shivers, “I can only hope that Overseer has no analog on this world, he is an Eternal, well not officially but he was, he was many different things, and he is pure evil and power rolled up into one nigh unstoppable package. We can only hope there is one of him, and we can only hope that we stop whatever scheme it is that he is cooking up. And yes you are right, this breach between the dimensions is due to his work, I bet.”

Aris nods, “Genocide is a general in the army of Rapture, and one of Overseer’s best men, he won’t go down easy, he is extremely tough, extremely strong, and can manipulate plasma energy. While the Red Witch, has the unlimited potential of the Black Soul Gem at her disposal.”

James and Mark

Kiyana nods, and follows James and Mark outside, she does not say much, holding James hand for comfort, she seems sullen and sad, the events of the day have been pretty hectic, all the way around. But she manages a weak smile, and light conversation.

Anika and Kelly

Jimmy shrugs, “This is Kelly, and you’re that Norse God worshipping chick, Anika right? As far as Sarah, she is still out or something, who knows she may pull through, I sure hope so,” he turned back to Kelly, “Yeah Smirnoff Ice sounds good, Yoshi can snag some for us, he is bring along Jack and the Captain for the trip as well.”

John

“Alright relax John, thus is the best I can do on short notice, I mean when the Eternal Council says, hey Chaos deliver this important message, you try and say no? So like here I am, so what was I saying, hey man how was your day? Oh man, this girl has some interesting thoughts, whoa! Nice lets see, oooh, now that is interesting. Oh wait, I had a message to deliver, alright, I guess I should make it fast. Okay like Ryan, I promised to tell him something, okay, this Ryan is Ryan, but he isn’t Ryan. Ryan is just a clone of a person from another reality named Captain Cosmos, well not so much a clone as he is the remaining essence of Captain Cosmos, understand? He is like Version 2.0, the first one was a dismal failure, and unfortunately, well anyways… Ryan is a target, Overseer knows what he is, and he knows that there is a potential within Ryan that could be limitless, so yeah he may be gunning for his head. Hey you writing this down, there will be a pop quiz later!”

Chaos pauses in his mental diatribe before continuing, “Now things are going to get worse before they get better. So yeah whatever you do, keep Ryan away from Overseer and his goons, if they get Ryan, we go to the End Game, and things could be bad, if Overseer can tap into that Cosmic Energy, and use it for himself… you understand, okay got to go, Sarah may be out for a few more days. Keep her company, I think she likes you, though I can’t see why, you are a L-O-S-E-R, he he he he,” the connection ends, with a mind jarring snap.

James tries to talk about other things... like the dance and what it was like growing up in Russia with Kiyana. He makes light of his own past growing up in foster homes back in Montana, sweezing Kiyana's hand to give her support. If he sees the "new students" they might wander that way...
