A new look on his face.  A look full of fierce determination and fortitude.Rain drizzles and the thunder booms.NOThe wind swirls and weak branches bend.  The rain comes down.“NOOO!”The rain washes over them.  It removes the dirt and grime.  It removes their salty tears.  It removes their blood stains.“NO!   This is not how it goes down.  We must fight.  We must fight for Infiniti.  We must fight for the billions of lives at risk.  We must fight for those we care about.”  The Captain looks at them all.  Sasha, still with her back to them smiles.  It begins.  The end begins now.  She continues her work.“We must fight for those we love.  We must fight for those that we lost.  We must fight for those that we loved and have lost but not forgotten.”Jim looks hard at the Captain.“They have tried to deter us.  They have tried to destroy us.  They have tried to pit each of us against the other but CAN NOT GIVE IN!”The hair on Jim’s neck rises.  Something rises within him.  The part of him that is a survivor.  His soul.“Vander died for us!  For the millions and billions of innocent souls he did not know.  Teresa died saving us.  How can we turn our backs on them?”Christina has tears mixing with her rain covered face.  She feels it.“Don’t you understand-   They are afraid of us.  That is why they have tried to attack us one on one.”Jean looks at her browning fingers.  She is deep in thought.  Mindlessly she nods her head in agreement.“TOGETHER.   Together we can stop them!  We have the ability.”Jim stands up.  Christina stands up beside him.  “take it to him”Sasha nods with a forlorn look.“He has been attacking us from the shadows.  He is using the very foes that defeated us in the past.  Together we can do this.”Lightning seems to begin to strike everywhere in the near distance.“We have been about the objects only.  We have totally ignored his soldiers …his pawns.”“We need to figure out who we are facing and where the objects of power are and destroy them.” Says Christina.Light…bright light…the brightest daylight shines around them.  They all look around to see what is happening.The energy has formed a ball of pure white.  A slender outline of a man steps forth.  It is Sasha.  She looks tired but other wise easy.“We will need to plan.” She says.“Between us, there is little we do not know of the multiverse.”  Says Christine.  A new gleam within her eyes.“I have lead armies into war.  I can lead you if you tell me what is required.”“I have skills in gathering information and getting things.” Says Megamania.“I have magics and the forces of nature with us.” Says Jean.“I have a score to settle.  I want it square …NOW.”Everyone stops and turns.Sasha smiles and steps aside.  Through the bright light comes a large figure.  The figures walk and manner looks familiar.  Could it be?“vander…?”  is whispered by the Champions of Infiniti.Elsewhere….. the gaunt man watches.  His undead hands tap at the table in frustration and anger.  He knows he has little control over his generals.  If these heroes become organized ………..</blockquote>
