Ch. 1: Intro
26 different powers appear in a large, dark room together. While all are wondering what has happened, a speaker approaches a podium before them. They all peer at him in shock of what is going on.
"You were all brought here for a reason. Each of you possesses an important power. All of them are important to my plan. I want to create a team, much like the phenomena's X-Men. We must rid the world of the guilty and protect the innocent. We need to bring the world to our side. We need to show them that our kind is not to be feared but to be a friend. We all have come from different times. I know this because I have waited a very long time for the lapse of time to come together at a point where all of our identities can be secret when we appear here. This is a precaution measure to protect our identities from one another in case some of you decide not to join me." The elderly man pauses to see the expressions on each face. "All of you have been hunted down and nearly killed because of what you are. Do you not want to prove them wrong about you? I will select a leader for the team, under my own rule, but still a leader. Each person in this room will have to duel another person in this room. The only person that will not partake in this action is I."
Everyone starts thinking. They have never had an opportunity quite like this before. They agree to do it. All feel they have nothing to lose if they don't become the leader but much to gain if they do become the leader. "Everyone who would like to join enter that room over there," the man points to a door on his left side of the room.
Many people enter, a few stay behind. All who didn't enter the room disappear. "Don't worry everyone. I just put them back where they came from. I know everyone who is in this room now. Everyone who is not named must go through that door and up the stairs inside to the view tower." As he says this the lights in the room start to come on. To them it looks like a huge gym. "The first duel will be between Diamond Lil and Elektra. Everyone else proceed through the appointed door, please."
Everyone except Elektra and Diamond Lil enter through the door. Up the stairs they go. The man gestures them all toward the viewing windows to watch the duel between the two girls. "The way this works is whoever wins this round will go on to the next round to fight another one of you. All will fight someone and winners proceed on to determine who is going to lead the team of the unknowns."
Everyone finds a comfortable place to look out onto the 'Battle Arena' and watches. The two girls have positioned themselves far away from each other and are both stretching before the match. Once they are in battle position, the man says, "When the bell rings you may begin." The bell rings and they both slowly move closer to each other, thinking over each move. Neither of them knows the others powers, strengths, or weaknesses.
