Omni-Crisis
None of you are going to recognize what i'm talking about right now, so let me explain - this is my book series and characters that i'm writing about right now. I'll be adding some author notes to help explain some stuff, so don't get stressed out. I will say this now, though - it won't be until the seventh or eighth chapter that i'll be writing about something you people would recognize.
If you see AN: 1 (or any other number after the colon) in parenthesis, then skip down to the bottom to see what the actual note is. that's how i'll insert notes. If you're confused, please review that.

The PSC - a place of good times, a place of bad times. The fountain that has spouted both good and evil forces. What do the letters stand for? Project Sinkhole Command - to some worlds, it means hope, but to others, it means destruction. General Matthew Lead may be in charge, but who is really behind all of the heroic interplanetary work committed by Earth? None other than Austin Tus and his friends.
Austin (age 14) himself has a real traumatic past - his dad died when he was ten, his mom arrested for attempted murder when he was thirteen. And that attempted murder had been on him. So, now without any parents his legal guardian became Luke Tus, his uncle who works as a Corporal at the PSC. Seeing as he spent a lot of times at the base anyways, Austin made the base his home, and hasn't lived anywhere else since.
Twy Chao (age 14) is the girl who obsesses over Austin. She is three inches shorter than Austin, the latter of which towers over even the adults that work at the PSC (except for General Matthew, who is a hulking 45 year old six feet, five inches tall). Her age being fourteen, she is only two months younger than Tus, and has probably died more than a few times.
Sky Chao (age 14), Twy's twin and sister, is very different from her one minute older sibling. Twy is the taller, skinnier one of the two - Sky is average weight for her height, but her height is only five feet tall. Sky likes to wear her hair in twin ponytails, contrary to Twy's single, and she likes jewelry more. Sky is more social and independent than Twy, although Twy is more battle ready. Overall, their personalities balance out, which has come in handy in certain situations.
Spike Sutna (age 14) is Sky's boyfriend, and best friend of Austin. While Austin may be the tallest of the group, Spike has the biggest build. He's been able to win any physical fight using brute force since he was only ten, and has even gained some martial arts skills from the Chaos Ayas. Spike is constantly getting into arguments with Austin, but Austin usually outwits the stronger teen until his short term memory loss problem kicks in and he forgets the argument entirely. Spike's favorite outfit is a pair of baggy jeans, a T-shirt, preferably black, and a dark grey hoodie.
Austin Mote (age 14) is a superhero (not a well known one, because he works covertly for the PSC), the leader of his four-person group. His powers are the ability to shoot fire and water from his fists, fly, turn invisible, and manipulate weak minded sentient creatures and drones. He clashes the most with Austin Tus, ever since they first encountered each other. Mote is simple-minded until it comes to battle, meaning that he can be confused easily. Just like Tus, he can be offended easily, and his mood is only checked by Danielle.
Danielle Cy (age 14) is one of Austin Mote's sidekicks, her ability being able to transform her right arm into nearly anything that's metal. She is average height for a 14 year old, average weight and size, too. Her black hair falls to mid-back, and for dress-up occasions she will take the middle section and put it in a ponytail, so she has two sections of hair that fall to her mid-back and a ponytail that hangs slightly above. She has made good friends with the Chaos (Sky and Twy), but she doesn't have half the tolerance for Tus's nonsense as the twins.
Mark Cox (age 14) is another sidekick of Mote's, his abilities being able to withstand water, fire, dirt, wind, electrical, and electromagnetic wave attacks. Suffice to say, he's only vulnerable to blunt-force. He can also charge and use a super punch after his teammates have attacked something fifteen times. He is a cyborg, though he looks just like a human in every aspect. He has special electrical and electromagnetic shielding, making him the automatic repairman in radioactive or otherwise electrically-dangerous areas. The introverted cyborg doesn't even know for himself his origins, but he knows for sure that he ages just like normal humans.
Katie Sud (age 14) is roughly the same size of Danielle, but slightly stronger. She wears her blonde hair in a ponytail that falls down to her waistline. Her power is the ability to create nearly any explosive from nothing, as long as her hands can come in contact with each other. Being the last sidekick of Austin's, she is also the youngest, though still 14. She is the most obnoxious one, and most likely to disobey orders, but she is very smart and even invented the Global Chaos Ayas Scanner (GCAS), which she modified into the Galactic Chaos Ayas Scanner the PSC has now.
The history of the PSC itself is quite interesting. It was built some time ago over a sinkhole, but the sinkhole was very distinct; it was the key to finding advanced technologies, powerful weapons, and immense riches. So far, only the former two have been proved - indeed riches and fossil fuels had been found, but only in trivial amounts. The one time that they came across a gigantic field of gold they were forced to destroy the entrance to the cavern because a big dragon-monster-thing was on their tails. They had, however, come across a silverish-grey sphere by the name of "Master Ayas" that wrought the bad EA on the world. (AN: 1) Soon after, the other Chaos Ayas (AN:2) were found, but they disappeared after Austin Tus, Twy, Spike, and Sky gained their super-forms. Not long after that they rose an entire ancient fleet of battle-class airships (AN:3), but such activity bought the attention of the Drakkars (AN:4), who came to investigate the sudden activity of their long-defeated enemy's ships. The two ships that were sent were quickly dispatched, though it took an alarming amount of force. Then, a treaty and a denied espionage mission brought the ancient airship fleet out of the sky. However, the USA began developing their own line of ships.
So far 23 ships have come off the production line, the flagship being named Genesis and then the names switched to the Greek Alphabet starting at Beta. There are four types of battle cruisers in the USA fleet - the Experimental Battle Cruiser (XBC), the Carrier Battle Cruiser (CBC), the War Battle Cruiser (WBC), and the Fighter Battle Cruiser (FBC). Thus far the XBC class has been the dominant class, mainly for its size and speed. 15 of them have been constructed, although a few have been destroyed and the Gamma has some decidedly advanced technology after it was captured by EA. Now, a new class of battle cruiser dubbed "SBC", or the Omega, has been under construction, although the teens haven't been allowed any information other than the name and class.
The latest tech that has been produced by Earth is the International Space Defense Station (ISDS-01) Opportunity. It had to be shuttled to high orbit via XBCs and CBCs in pieces, and has been completed except for the shield generator. Austin Tus has deduced that the new battle cruiser Omega is to be quite large, due to the gigantic landing pad on the Opportunity and the fact that the PSC has waited such a long time to shuttle up the Opportunity's extremely large shield generator.
The latest development at the PSC has been a rundown with the Moriki. (AN:5) They have about three days before the Moriki arrive with their full fleet to either take over Earth or destroy the planet in a rumored planetary supernova. The Opportunity has been prepped for defense, and work on the Omega has been sped up. Even though everyone is keeping an optimistic exterior, deep down, they all know this fact:
The Moriki will win, resistance or not.

AN:1 - EA is short for Evil Austin. He was made by the Master Ayas (see AN:2) and looks exactly like Austin Tus, but is evil. Well, not quite evil, since he has displayed the fact that he only initiates his take-over-the-world schemes for the challenge. He only does actual evil things when he either gets real ticked off or frustrated. EA is also very, very smart.
AN:2 - The Chaos Ayas, to be honest, are just my version of the Chaos Emeralds from the Sonic the Hedgehog games. The Chaos Ayas aren't emeralds, but they have the same abilities of the Chaos Emeralds. The Master Ayas serves the same purpose as the Master Emerald, but has the ability to transform things or make things from nothing.
AN:3 - When i say airships, i don't mean stuff like blimps with a balloon; i'm talking about big flying metal ships with lots of firepower.
AN:4 - The Drakkars are the real Evil. The aren't human; although they are humanoid. There are five "tribes" of Drakkars, who constantly war with each other. The Drakkars are the dominant race in the galaxy due to their advanced technology, but the PSC and EA has managed to fend them off on their own. The Drakkars also have one special ability - the can suck the imagination/creativity out of a sentient creature and take that imagination for themselves. Such an ability may not seem too important, but how would you like it if you had no imagination or creativity at all? Think about it.
AN:5 - The Moriki look a little bit like Drakkars, but have metal exoskeletons and are much bulkier. They were released when a massive fight between the PSC, EA, and the Drakkars somehow opened up an interdimensional portal, and the Moriki escaped from their prison into our dimension. Their fleet is immense; in fact, whether the Moriki actually use their full fleet or not to destroy planets is disputable. But the fact remains the the Moriki are much more technologically advanced than anyone in the galaxy, and are slowly taking over without much of a fight.
