Generation Legacy: Issue #6

[Aust Meliamne]

Sarah glanced to John, “Thank you John, you’re a good friend, better then I deserve. But I appreciate it,” she gestured for John to stop, “Keep it, John I don’t want it back. If anything I would like for you to hold it, your friendship is very dear to me, and I just get the feeling you were always there.”

She floats above the bed, in a cross-legged pose, smiling, “I do feel much better though. Although I feel like I missed so much,” her voice cheery, despite the pain she still feels, “too bad everything is going to end up very badly,” she says in matter of fact tone. She cocks her head focusing on John, “I mean, well it’s hard to explain, but things are going terribly wrong in the universe right now. Don’t ask me how I know, I just do. Our universe is perhaps pivotal to the existence of all the others, well in the end; we all exist because other exists. Chaos showed me things about this world, other worlds, and why it is important. But I don’t like the means; we can avert so much suffering, by stopping the Overlord or destroying Ryan. I don’t know why, but he seems pivotal to it all. Cassie too, though purely accidental, her appearance was the start of it all, perhaps she will be the end of it all too?”

Sarah looks confused, “Don’t ask me what all that means, it confuses me, as much as I am sure you are confused.”

"Yeah, I bet you're confused. I sure am. But I guess this means stopping this Overlord, because I think destroying Ryan is kind of out of the question.

"Yeah, I bet you're confused. I sure am. But I guess this means stopping this Overlord, because I think destroying Ryan is kind of out of the question.

“I don’t know if that is within our power, John,” she replies softly.

“But if it is possible,” her voice rings from behind John, turning he sees a second floating ghostly image of Sarah, “I am sure we will find it. I hope.”

“Something is going to happen. Bigger then before… I can feel it,” Sarah’s voice replies mentally. Her normal self closes her eyes, still floating cross-legged over the bed, “I must warn them… they must know even if I don’t understand it all.”

The Garage

Star smiles, a realistic almost warm smile, “I can swim, or at least my body has the capability to swim. Although I have knowledge of the actual mechanics I have never actually used the ability to swim. But I should be able to catch on quick, if you are willing to help me, Mark?”

Jimmy laughs, “I don’t know what weirder the fact that Ryan and Anika are hooking up, or that your flirting with a robot. Dude I am out of here before this gets even weirder. See yah, if you need me, find me.” Jimmy turns and walks off, shaking his head.

“Excuse me,” a meek voice says, coming from overhead. Hovering in the air like a ghost they see Sarah, wearing loose fitting pajamas, her form soft like a phantom. She looks down at the assembled teens, “Hi… I am not even sure how I am doing this, but I need to talk to you guys. I mean, I think I may know something you need to know, Ryan especially… but it affects everyone.”

She floats down till her feet hover just inches off the ground, “Chaos showed me something. Something about why the Overseer wants Ryan, it’s strange but it wants to consume his power, and take it into himself. If it does that, it will be like Chaos, a being of great power…” she pauses, “I know this does not make a whole lot of sense, but Chaos said well there is a way to stop it. He does not think we can beat Overlord, but we may, well… it isn’t easy to say…” she trails off looking right at Ryan.

Ryan hears a voice in his mind, “If we destroy you before they can get you, then countless suffering can be avoided,” the voice is Sarah’s, and it sounds apologetic.

The Boutique in the Dressing Room

“I was aware of the circumstances, but this information about him perhaps implanting a part of his personality in your mind is news to me. I mean I was aware of the psychic tampering, but not to this extent. This is both interesting and frightening at the same time Kelly, when we get back Dr. McTaggert and myself will give you a thorough examination, but I can’t say there is anything we could do to help you. I don’t have that kind of power to break that kind of tampering, it’s a delicate process, that can be done, but with great care. If done incorrectly you could be much worse off then you were before,” Jun Min sighs.

“This also poses a liability threat for the team, I will have to pass this on to Mr. McCallister. I mean not to be mean but you pose a serious security threat now. Until we know the extent and purpose of that tampering,” she scowls, “I really wish you would have brought this up sooner. But I will try and help you in anyway I can.”

Ryan laughs, watching Jimmy leave. What the heck is wrong with me and Anika hooking up? Are we hooking up? It's not like I can ask anyone. As the ghostly form of Sarah floats down, he remarks, "Well, it just got weirder," as he shifts uncomfortably.

"At least we know why Overseer is so interested in me now. Still, why me, and what can we do to..." Ryan starts to ask before Sarah's voice fills his mind. So now you're one of Chaos's lackeys, he thinks acidly back, keeping his face calm. How kind of you to volunteer me for death. I don't think so.

"Go on, Sarah, finish it," he replies verbally. She had no trouble saying it to me, just not out loud. I guess she does't want everyone else to know what she just said, ruining her reputation. Ryan lets a glowing purple force field, destructive to anything it touches, surround himself as he coldly says, "Tell them how you want to kill me."

"I didn't volunteer you for anything, I am just relaying a message Ryan, I don't even know what day it is. I am trying to help, do you think that little of me, that I would just up and try to kill you?" Sarah replies glaring at Ryan, "I am on your side, I don't want you to die. I want you to live, but there are others that may not think that way, I am sorry. I apologize..."

Star smiles, a realistic almost warm smile, “I can swim, or at least my body has the capability to swim. Although I have knowledge of the actual mechanics I have never actually used the ability to swim. But I should be able to catch on quick, if you are willing to help me, Mark?”

"Yeah, sure!" Mark agrees eagerly.

Jimmy laughs, “I don’t know what weirder the fact that Ryan and Anika are hooking up, or that your flirting with a robot. Dude I am out of here before this gets even weirder. See yah, if you need me, find me.” Jimmy turns and walks off, shaking his head.

I am not trying to flirt with Star! Mark glares at Jimmy's back.

She floats down till her feet hover just inches off the ground, “Chaos showed me something. Something about why the Overseer wants Ryan, it’s strange but it wants to consume his power, and take it into himself. If it does that, it will be like Chaos, a being of great power…” she pauses, “I know this does not make a whole lot of sense, but Chaos said well there is a way to stop it. He does not think we can beat Overlord, but we may, well… it isn’t easy to say…” she trails off looking right at Ryan.

"He wants to EAT you?!" Mark blurts.

"At least we know why Overseer is so interested in me now. Still, why me, and what can we do to..." Ryan starts to ask before Sarah's voice fills his mind. So now you're one of Chaos's lackeys, he thinks acidly back, keeping his face calm. How kind of you to volunteer me for death. I don't think so.

Can this weekend get any worse? Classes sound real good right now."No one's killing Ryan." Because it's not like his protector is the guy who got beaten up in the street last night and he had to come and heal. I really suck at this job.

"I didn't volunteer you for anything, I am just relaying a message Ryan, I don't even know what day it is. I am trying to help, do you think that little of me, that I would just up and try to kill you?" Sarah replies glaring at Ryan, "I am on your side, I don't want you to die. I want you to live, but there are others that may not think that way, I am sorry. I apologize..."

"Alright. As long as we agree that if anyone's getting killed here I'm first in line." Mark says. Well that came out exactly like I planned. Need some pool time. Or a hit of- water. "Now does anyone else need to get a death threat before we break for a couple of hours?" he sighs. Mark notices his hands starting to tremble and quickly clasps them behind his back where they wont be so obvious.

Kelly's lips tremble and her eyes start to water at the rebuke. "N...no, no, he's already done so much to me... taken so much from me... don't... don't let him take this from me too." she pleads with Jun Min, tears trickling down her tanned cheeks.

"Please, please... don't take this away too... not this... I don't want to be like this... I don't want to be like him... he was a bad person... I don't want to be like him... I want to be different, I want to be on Legacy, I want to help people... I don't want to be like him, and now your not gonna let me. This... this isn't fair." she sobs, wiping at her eyes. and turning away from the teacher, cupping her face in her hands.

"I... I can't... I can't even remember anything he made me do... there's just so much I can't remember...I can't even remember my first...I know he would have, but I can't even remember if he and I..." the young girl turns back to look up at the teacher.

"It only happened this one time since he wasn't around, I... maybe its just this one time, maybe it wont happen again," she says sounding slightly hopeful will snuffling her nose.

Jun Min smiles, "I did not mean to come down on you, its just surprising is all. I just want to ensure the safety of all the students. But seriously, we will need to take a look at what is inside your head, we have a few methods I want to try, if your willing, Kelly."

"Your like one of my only friends, here at school, or anywhere, if you say I need it, I'll believe you, but do you really have to tell Mr. McCallister? He already doesn't like me, and I know he just wants to find some reason to say no." she says looking discouraged.

"I want to do this... I need to do this, its something Neuro never would have done, I want to do it for me. Please don't take this away from me. Please." she begs, taking the teachers hand.

Jimmy laughs, “I don’t know what weirder the fact that Ryan and Anika are hooking up, or that your flirting with a robot. Dude I am out of here before this gets even weirder. See yah, if you need me, find me.” Jimmy turns and walks off, shaking his head.

"Bite me, Jimmy," Anika grumbles under her breath.

“Excuse me,” a meek voice says, coming from overhead. Hovering in the air like a ghost they see Sarah, wearing loose fitting pajamas, her form soft like a phantom. She looks down at the assembled teens, “Hi… I am not even sure how I am doing this, but I need to talk to you guys. I mean, I think I may know something you need to know, Ryan especially… but it affects everyone.”

"Oh, wow, Sarah, you're awake!" Anika happily exclaims seeing Sarah appear, before her brow crumples at the ghostly site. "...you, uh, are awake, right?"

Listening to the exchange between Sarah, Ryan and Mark, she adds, "C'mon, Ryan, kill you so Overseer can't get you; sounds like a Chaos idea to me. What a moronic little creep. Is that why he kept you under for so long, Sarah? So you could tell us that great little idea of his? And what exactly did he do to you?

"And no one's dying, Mark. If you die taking a bullet for me, I'll kill you," she adds with a grin, which turns to a frown when she notices Mark acting strangely and trying to hide it. "You okay, Mark?"

 

[Hammerhead]

"Whatever," Ryan snaps at Sarah. "If you don't want to kill me, why even mention it? In case one of Chaos's other flunkies tries to snuff me out? Did you expect me to go along with the idea?" I'm not the one who knocked out everyone at the mall either, he thinks bitterly.

"I say if anyone's getting killed here, Overseer's first, followed by his flunkies, Pantheon members, and the annoying people who talk during movies. None of us are on that list. I don't plan on dying, and I don't care what some cosmic brat says. Tell him if he wants to deliver some kind of message, do it in person." Unless he can't, which explains why he only acted in the computer program and Sarah's comatose mind. Which means advantage Ryan, that he can't come and directly kill me.
