Generation Legacy Issue #8 "Innocence Lost" - Part 2

[Aenion]

Karen and Cassie

The rest of the teens tense for a fight, "Please your fight isn't with me, at this point you really should just come with me. Red Witch is eager to speak with you, and I am here to take you to her. If you try anything violent, then I have no qualms unleashing a few hidden aces... so what shall it be? Fight now, or meet with Red Witch?"

Karen frowns and her hands relax, after a quick glance at the others she replies, "I'd like it if this could be solved without fighting, but why would Red Witch want to just speak with us?"

 

[Aenion]

Arafina smiles, "Of course you hve my word that you could walk out of here. I doubt you would survive a direct confrontation with the Red Witch, but then again by the end of the night, it won't really matter. We are already in end-game."

"End-game?" Karen's frown deepens, "What do you mean by that?"

 

[Tokiwong]

"End-game?" Karen's frown deepens, "What do you mean by that?"

Arafina motions, "Please just follow me, all will be revealed in due time."

 

[Hammerhead]

"I'm hungry." When Anika enters and begins speaking, he smiles.

"You know, are we sure Bishop even blew up Mexico City?"

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Arafina motions, "Please just follow me, all will be revealed in due time."

Cassie gently puts the guard down and looks to the others. "Shall we get moving then?"

 

[Aenion]

Cassie gently puts the guard down and looks to the others. "Shall we get moving then?"

Karen reluctantly nods, "I think that would be best, but I don't like it at all."

 

[Samnell]

"You know, are we sure Bishop even blew up Mexico City?"

"Good question," Mark agrees. "Did he get a trial?"

 

[Agamon]

Anika rolls her eyes. "He's not an elite, not per se, he's a...what did they call him...an Eternal." She looks over at Mark. "You guys had a meeting yesterday, and you forgot to bring up the fact that there's someone coming who wants to destroy the world?"

She turns back to Paragon. "He's from another dimension, an Earth like ours, but different. His henchmen, Red Witch and Genocide are on our world, as well as a couple of people from his world that are trying to stop him, Kal and Aris. Overseer was stopped from destroying the other world, the one he's from, by some guy named Captain Cosmos. Ryan is this Earth's equivalent of Captain Cosmos, and he's probably afraid of him, that's why Genocide's been trying to kidnap Ryan. Except Ryan's not looking very 'cosmosy' anymore, so now is when he'll probably make his entrance. Or, more precisely, according to the vision I had, while we're occupying ourselves fighting Cardinal...of course, in my vision, Ryan was still glowing and fighting Cardinal," she scratches her head and takes a breath.

"And I'm not trying to make any excuses for terrorists. I think they're cowardly scum," she adds, not caring that Bishop was standing next to her. "But while I have no doubt Cardinal did this," she says pointing out towards the ruins of Eden, "I'm not so sure she wiped out Mexico City. If she can just make a city that large disappear, why didn't she do that here?" She turns to Bishop. "Did you guys really have anything to do with Mexico City?"

"Mark never made it to the meeting, he was leading your team in Bangkok," Paragon replies.

She turns back to Paragon. "He's from another dimension, an Earth like ours, but different.

Paragon nods, waiting for her to continue.

"And I'm not trying to make any excuses for terrorists. I think they're cowardly scum," she adds, not caring that Bishop was standing next to her. "But while I have no doubt Cardinal did this," she says pointing out towards the ruins of Eden, "I'm not so sure she wiped out Mexico City. If she can just make a city that large disappear, why didn't she do that here?" She turns to Bishop. "Did you guys really have anything to do with Mexico City?"

Bishop grins, "I actually rather liked Mexico City, very liberal city, and very open to elites. We, Pantheon had nothing to do with it, take that as you will, but it does not serve our cause well to randomly destroy whole population centers. No offense taken Anika, I rather think terrorists are quite abhorrent, but one man's Freedom Fighter is another man's terrorist, eh Paragon?"

"Get him out of here," Paragon gestures.

Bishop smiles and follows the guards, "And here I thought you might want to know how I got out without Cardinal knowing... hmmm..."

Paragon sighs, "Wait... Anika do you honestly think this vision of yours may come true?"

Karen & Cassie

The other teens follow Cassie's lead and get into the elevator. Arafina smiles sweetly, "Thank you for listening to reason. I rather dislike violence, it is quite distasteful."

Karen doesn't say a word to Arafina, anger and fear fighting a quiet war inside of her. She just stands in the elevator close to Kal, That's coming from the who leads us to the former mistress of hell like lambs to the slaughter.
