“I am sorry about that, you are cute and I couldn’t help myself, I apologize Mark,” Gadget says bowing her head.

Mark smiles awkwardly, "It's ok. I overreacted. It's not your fault."

Nightchild steps out of the shadows, sneaking up on Gadget and Mark, “Mark we have a problem… its Ryan.”

"Did the police find him?" Mark asks. Well at least I'm not giving the UN a bad name here...

“You don’t want to know what I think honestly about Ryan, he is a jerk, an ass, and worse, and the only reason I even stood up for him is because we happen to b on the same team. If he was on fire, I wouldn’t piss on him to put it out babe,” Yoshi replies.

“I know the feeling is mutual so I don’t fret about, you need to just realize on thing about him. Ryan cares about one thing, himself, and the way he reacts to you is another reason why I don’t like him. So just don’t bring him up, it pisses me off, what is your fixation with him anyway?” Yoshi finishes.

"I understand what it means to be unique... apart from others, and I see it in his eyes, he lashes out because he doesn't know how to do it anyother way.. just like you put up this.. wall of words with others." Cassie says. "I understand you're not everything you show the other people." she shrugs. "It's kind of hard to put into words. I see.. something that weighs heavy on him.. I'm not even sure he sees it himself, but it hurts him all the same. Unfortunately, I don't say the right things.. I always aggrevate him." sighs. "I'm still too.. stupid socially to say the right things i quess..I try to show him there are folks willing to listen, and all I do if frustrate him and put him on guard. Sometimes, I get so frustrated I want.. well I want to smack him to his senses.."

“Unique?” Yoshi scoffs, “you have to be kidding me, and the only thing unique about Ryan is how people seem to like him for being a jerk and an ass. I don’t think it is you though Cassie, Ryan is just a jerk. You shouldn’t blame yourself for that, you speak fine, and you are not socially inept; just learning. If you ask me, let Ryan sort out his own problems; just leave him alone. Trust me; you will be far better off that way. You saw how he ripped Anika a new one; and that was his girlfriend…”

Kal speaks to Karen, “The Terminus Invasion well, another world tried to consume this universe I guess. The world is called Terminus and is under control of this big baddie named Omega… he is in the same kind of league as Overseer… and just as evil if you ask me.”

Danger Girl pipes in, “Yeah, Omega is bad news, and so is Overseer. Just think if they ever banded together…” she shivers, “I don’t know if any force could stop them. I really hope the Freedom League and Aegis take down Overseer for good.”

Anika

Gilden smiles when he sees her reaction, “Then it is settled then…” he pauses and his face grows with worry and concern, “I just got a message from Nightchild; looks like Ryan is in jail… he turned himself in.”

Mark

Gadget nods with a smile, and stays to listen to what Nightchild has to say. Nightchild replies to Mark, “Ryan turned himself in to the authorities, and well, they locked him up. Chances are they will send him to Alcatraz II before long and hold him there till a trial can be set. They charged him with manslaughter.”

"What!?!" Anika jumps up suddenly at the news. "Why would he do that? I really don't understand that guy," she says with distress.

She grabs her uniform. "Can we go see him?"

I'm not as internetless as I thought an elven archer in the middle of storming a derro tower would be...

 

[Tokiwong]

"What!?!" Anika jumps up suddenly at the news. "Why would he do that? I really don't understand that guy," she says with distress.

She grabs her uniform. "Can we go see him?"

Gilden gets dressed with a flick of his wrist, "I figured we should, Nightchild is expecting us." Once both are dressed and ready they appear in normal space; right behind Mark and company.

 

[Agamon]

Once Anika appears with Mark, Gadget and Nighchild, she starts to speak frantically, "Guys? Ryan turned himself in? What's going on? The cops are going to blame him for protecting the city?"

"Now you see Overseer was stripped of his power because he tried to conquer the universe and consumed many eternals in the process. He became immensely powerful, but even so we fought him and brought him low... and althoug is power could not be destroyed it was stripped from him and cast into a vessel that would hopefully use the power much more wisely. Overseer was banished, and for eons he was all but forgotten. Obviously he has regained much of his potency, but the power inside you is the key to him regaining full power. Part of that power was reshaped into a vessel created to destroy Overseer but she was flawed..." Chaos continues.

"Oh, oh! That must be Cardinal," Ryan says in imitation of a small schoolchild, raising his hand in the air.

"You are not an elite, Ryan. You, your sister, the comet, and Overseer are all connected. This is not the genetic sister, but the sister you share the power with... she is useless to Overseer. But you... if he can consume you, then he will regain his status... and I fear he may be more powerful now then ever. But not only do you have the power to give him a new life, so do you hvae te power to grant him death... or as close to it as Overseer can come. But the stake may be high, it may destroy you in the process..." Chaos finishes.

"Again, I assume that this fake sister is Cardinal, right? 'Cause that's what Kelly was telling me, but I thought she was a little crazy at the time. Like what kind of odds are we talking about here? Because even though my life is pretty much at its low point right now, it's going to get better once I go back to the real Earth and convince Anika to stop being mad at me for some reason."

Chaos then chuckles... "Sadly, beyond that I know little the matters of time and space are Chrono's domain. I can tell you that she created your sister... and is now currently investigating how the time wrinkle occured that displaced Cassie... which I believe is connected back to you... and the comet.

"You gonna tell me why you think that, or what? Or how the heck I can put the smackdown on an Elite as tough as Overseer...wait a minute! What did you mean, I'm not an elite! Of course I'm an elite. What else could I be?"

 

[Tokiwong]

"Oh, oh! That must be Cardinal," Ryan says in imitation of a small schoolchild, raising his hand in the air.

"Sarcasm is really not your strongpoint," Chaos replies.

"Again, I assume that this fake sister is Cardinal, right? 'Cause that's what Kelly was telling me, but I thought she was a little crazy at the time. Like what kind of odds are we talking about here? Because even though my life is pretty much at its low point right now, it's going to get better once I go back to the real Earth and convince Anika to stop being mad at me for some reason."

"Odds? They are high... but it is your purpose to defeat Overseer. Your predecessor Captain Cosmo, died in trying to defeat Overseer, and most likely you will too... but that isn't written in stone. Besides I don't think you need to worry about Anika..." Chaos grins as he looks up at Ryan, "She already replaced you with a far better model...." he can't help but laugh.

"But as I said before chances are high you could die... though the power within you would live on... since it is Eternal after all. So it wouldn't be a complete loss," he adds.

"You gonna tell me why you think that, or what? Or how the heck I can put the smackdown on an Elite as tough as Overseer...wait a minute! What did you mean, I'm not an elite! Of course I'm an elite. What else could I be?"

"Of course you are not an elite what a garish name. You are a vessel for a cosmic force; you have the power of an Eternal inside of you. But you can only tap the barest surface of its power, Ryan. Besides elites are nothing more then an attempt by Cardinal to create foot soldiers for her little crusade against Overseer which is destined for failure, without you. But I did enjoy the chain of events that followed... very entertaining... and your world has been less boring ever since," Chaos sighs.

"You asked and I told you why I do what I do.. I think that is enough to be said for now Yoshi, and besides, I'm sure Ryan will find his path soon enough. I quess I'm just to stay out fo the way and keep quiet." shrugs. "Besides, why are we still talking? I thought we were going to go out in town and look around?"

"I hope so too, do ... do you think they'll be able to do so? Th-this Overseer sounds very powerful," Karen asks with a tinge of worry to her voice, "I-if Omega is from another universe w-we don't have to w-worry about him too much, right?"
