A/N: This is a trailer/song fic building up to my newest story. The song is Hero by Skillet.


Things seemed to be returning for normal for the twins, however, one simple choice can have dire consequences. They would meet new friends and foes in their greatest adventure yet. One thing keeps leading to another in the sequel to Separated but not Apart.

Staring Dylan and Cole Sprouse as Zack and Cody Martin…

"Here they come, Zack," his twin brother said, standing beside him. The horrifying monsters closed in, their claws ready to feel the flesh of the twins.

"They don't stand a chance." The older twin let the power of the dimensionals course through his veins. Effortlessly, everything around him seemed to slow.

Debby Ryan as Bailey Picket…

The farm girl ran, as everything around her seemed to be collapsing. She had never been so frightened in her life, but somehow she found the courage to get keep running. Even though she wanted to do something to help the victims, she knew her only choice was to keep running,

Vin Diesel as David Alaimo…

The flames danced around the elemental's body before he sent them at his target. He continued launching one fireball after another, but even so, his opponents wouldn't give in. It had been a while since he had to unleash this much of his power.

David Henrey as Trey O'Neal,

Trey grabbed his foes arm forward before slicing his knife across his chest. He jumped at the foe beside him, kicking him in the face before turning and tossing a dagger into the foe behind him.

Jason Earls as Aaron Navarro

He brought forth a wall of earth to block the claw of the monsters, before lifting the beast into the air. The ground below him shot up, slicing through the beast, sending it's corpse falling back to the earth. He ran to help his younger sister fight off the coming assault.

Emily Osmin as Heather Navarro

Even in the dry desert air, the water elemental gathered the moisture out of the air, and constructed a mighty whip of water which she slashed the approaching fiends with. One raised its axe, ready to strike, but her brother stopped the attack with a spear of earth.

Shin Koyamanda as Ryo Zhou

The lightning elemental had sparks flying from his hands. He held his palms forward, forming a giant sphere of lightning between them. "Now young dimensional, try dodging this!" he said releasing the attack. His foe tried leaping out of the way, but to no avail, just as Ryo planned.

Chuck Norris as Hakalahs

"Women, you think you of all people possess the power to take me down," he said slashing his sword coursing with lighting at her.

And Angelina Jolie as Altinia

"I see no reason why I won't beat you just like last time," the ice elemental said as she blocked the attack with her bow. She quickly notched several arrows and fired them at her foe.

"I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away"

Zack Martin stood looking into the vast ocean before him. Below him, he heard the blood curling screams of the monsters and the cries of pains of the victims as their lives were abruptly cut short.

"Losing my faith today
Falling off the edge today"

"You okay Heather?"

"I guess so Aaron. They're really coming, aren't they?"

"Yea…"

"Think we can win?"

"I am just a man
Not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate"

Cody didn't know what he could do. The beasts surrounded him. He knew the powers that he possessed, but he wasn't ready to find enemies like this. Their grotesque figures made his skin crawl, but he knew there was only one way they could get out alive.

"It's just another war
Just another family torn
Falling from my faith today
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live"

"Captain, those birds seem awfully big."

"Take a closer look," he said handing his companion the binoculars.

"Sweet mama molasses, are those dragons?!"

"I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time"

Altinia knew she had to hurry or they wouldn't stand a chance. She gripped the throttle of her jet ski as hard as she could. She fired several shards of ice as the dragons flew overhead, hoping the slow them down, but that wouldn't be enough.

"I've gotta fight today
To live another day
Speaking my mind today
My voice will be heard today"

Aaron harnessed the power of the rock around him, encasing him in armor of stone. Heather gathered the water out of the air and prepared to strike the oncoming army.

"I've gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today"

Zack knew there wasn't much choice. He couldn't just stand back and watch those victims fall to the beasts, especially not when he had the power to stop them. He brought forth his sword and jumped into the fray.

"It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves"

"I won't let them hurt you anymore," Cody said as the monsters closed in. He picked up the closest weapon he could find, an old broom, and readied his body to fight.

"I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time"

The great city had no idea the danger that awaited them. Hakalahs looked down from a skyscraper, knowing his time to strike would soon come. He unfolded his black wings and leapt into the sky. He unsheathed his twin blades, and thought about how they would soon taste the blood of humans once more.

"I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero, just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time"

"You can't be serious."

"Believe us general, we are. We barely escaped with our lives, and your entire country is in danger. I have the scars to prove what I experienced," the twin explained.

"Who's gonna fight for what's right?
Who's gonna help us survive?
We're in the fight of our lives
And we're not ready to die"

The elemental siblings stood their ground as the massive army of monsters approached them. Under the impact of water and stone, many of the beats faded out of existence, but there were still hundreds of them.

"As fellow elementals, why don't you join our cause?"

"We will never support murderers like you."

"Then you shall taste my fire, just like the humans."

"Who's gonna fight for the weak?
Who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero, I've got a hero
Living in me"

Altinia created an ice bridge through the air, and jumped from it onto the SS Tipton. She set several arrows in her bow and quickly fired them, encasing the enemies in ice.

"I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die"

Zack impaled one of the monsters just before it could slice its claw across a young child's body. He wouldn't allow these innocents to die, especially when he had the power to save them. Even though he was unaware how long he could hold out, he'd fight with everything he had.

"A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time"

Bailey watched as her rescuer narrowly dodged the fiends' attacks, while at the same time countering with amazing speed. His body moved so fast, her eyes couldn't follow his attacks. She was honored to see someone fight so hard for her safety.

"I need a hero to save me now"

The citizens ran from the approaching monsters, but they were no match for the claw and steel.

"I need a hero, save me now"

Between the monsters and the fire elemental, they were quickly overwhelmed.

"Heth, we have to keep fighting."

"But how?"

"I need a hero to save my life"

"But I trusted you."

"Your trust was quite misplaced. You don't know me at all. Now, join us or die!"

"A hero will save me just in time"

He looked out, knowing the fight he was about to get involved in. Everything he had been taught, and everything he taught his students told him to stay out of useless conflicts like this, but he knew this was an exception. A gentle wind blew through his grey hair, signaling the calm before the storm.

"(I need a hero)
Who's gonna fight for what's right?
Who's gonna help us survive?"

The dragons cried out in pain as the missiles tore through their wings. The deft movement of the airplanes allowed them to dodge the fire that nearly consumed them. If they could keep the sky safe, perhaps the citizens below could live.

"(I need a hero)
Who's gonna fight for the weak?
Who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've need a hero"

"Do you really think that's a safe idea for any of us?"

"Honestly no, but you four are our best bet. I call for back up to help on this front, so you can complete your mission."

"I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in time "

The four of them looked around at their strange surroundings in silence for a moment. Cody was the first to speak, "Something tells me we aren't on earth anymore…"

Domino Effect, coming to fan fiction on January 4 2010


A/N: Honestly, I don't think I've ever been as excited about starting a new fic as this one, so hopefully it will be good. I already have the rough drafts of the first two chapters written, so this won't be abandoned after just one chapter. I'll warn you though, this will get quite dark at times; so far I'm planning on killing at least one of the heroes, and maybe more.
