Zeke: How you feelin', brother?
Cole: Not good...I'm not good.
Gade: You need to rest, your body hasn't fully recovered.
Cole: But Alias...he's still out there and I need too...
Zeke: No you don't, listen to him, man. I got Syd and all the police forces searchin' the streets for Alias, you can worry about him AFTER you feel better.
Kat: He's right, Cole, rest.
Gade: Your lucky to have such good friends who care so much for you. But, there more than just friends, aren't they?
Cole: What do you mean?
Gade: Well, Zeke, for example, your closer than friends, you see him as a brother, don't you?
Cole: No, he IS my brother.
Zeke: Heh, Half as Long...
Cole: Twice as Bright.
Gade: And then there's Kat, you care deeply for her.
Cole: I do, she's everything to me, I lost someone I once loved...but when I met Kat, she healed that feeling on loneliness.
Kat smiled at him, kissing his lips.
Zeke: But what I don't understand is why he didn't kill you, when he had the chance?
Gade: Maybe because he wasn't trying too...he just ambushed Cole to steal his powers...for whatever that reason maybe...I do not know.
Cole: Then what do we do?
Gade: We wait, see changes in the city.
Zeke: Right, I'll call Syd and tell him to keep me posted, if anything happens.
Cole: Good work, Zeke.
Kat: As for me, I'll stay right here with you.
Gade: You need to rest now Cole, you are going to need it.
Cole: Alright, Kat, help Zeke watch over the city, alright?
Kat: Don't worry, I will.
With that, Cole fell asleep. Somewhere, far away from the city, Alias was holding a container, filled with the energy that he stop from Cole. He placed a lifeless puppet on the floor and unleashed the energy from the container and it shot into the sky and flew all the down, striking the lifeless puppet. It began to float into the air as the red aura surrounded it and shooting red lightning into the air, clouding the sky. It then floated back to the ground and revealed his true face...it was Cole, no, it wasn't, it looked like Cole but his face was more pale, he has black eye shadow on his face, veins could be shown on his neck and face. He had the same shirt as Cole but it was red with black sleeves, black pants with a red stripe on the left pants legging and black converse. Everything about Cole MacGrath, the puppet had as well.
Alias: All that energy, concealed by a single man.
The puppet opened his eyes, flaming with red electricity. Empty creature, born from the champion of Heckseville.
Alias: My name is Alias and I am your master. You will obey, every command I give you. With us working together, we can rule with an iron fist!
The puppet simply smiled and said..."Yes, Master Alias." He even had the same VOICE as Cole. Amused that his plans have got the way we wanted them too, Alias laughed, turning his back on the puppet. "Soon, Heckseville will bow before me and not even the electric man can stop me!" Alias stated. The puppet continued to smile and lit his arms with electricity. Back Cole and Kat's room, Kat was watching over Cole as he spelt, gaining little of his strength. Just then, she heard the scream of the people in the city, when she flew up to investigate, he saw that the sky was dark and in the distance, was a dark, red lightning blot, striking down. All of a sudden, Kat's phone began to buzz. It was Zeke, calling her.
Kat: Hello, Zeke?
Zeke: Are you seein' what I'm seein'?
Kat: You mean the red flash of lightning, then yeah, I see it.
Zeke: Damn, what the hell is goin' on, is it from the storm?
Kat: I'm not sure but I have the feeling something terrible is gonna happen.
Zeke: Hell, I know what you mean, I got that feeling too. By the way, how's Cole, has he gotten any better?
Kat: He hasn't woken up, since he fell asleep.
Zeke: Damn, Alias must've really screwed him up. But don't worry about him, he'll wake up.
Kat: How do you know?
Zeke: Listen, I've been with Cole, ever since he got his powers, no matter how screwed up he gets, he always bounces back.
Kat: I hope you're right Zeke, I really do.
Many, many days have went by and Cole had not woken up from his sleep. Kat, Zeke and Gade were always there, watching and taking care of him...but it made no difference. Everyday, Zeke would return to the city and check in with Syd to see how the search with Alias was going, sadly, no sign of him was ever reported by the police or the people. Gade would always send Kat out to exercise her powers and gather supplies needed for Cole's health.
Kat: How long does this usually take?
Gade: I'm not sure, he's not like the people or Shifters, his injuries take longer to recover from.
Kat: And what about Alias, the people aren't safe with him loose.
Gade: Maybe so but for now, this is all we can do.
Kat placed a hand on Cole's cheek, hoping that he would wake up from his injures soon. A couple more days went by and still no chance of Cole or no signs of Alias. When Kat woke up, she noticed that Gade was and Zeke wasn't around...probably still in the city. All of a sudden, her alarm went off, it was Zeke calling.
Kat: H-Hello?
Zeke: Your awake, good, I was hopin' you would be.
Kat: Why? What's going on?
Zeke: It's Gade, he says that he's got an important job that he wants you to do and you need to see him right away.
Kat: But what about...
Zeke: Don't you worry about Cole, I'm just about done with my job on the streets, I'll head back and look, after him, until you get back.
Kat: hanks, Zeke, I really owe you.
Zeke: No need, Cole's like a brother to me, I'd do anything for him.
Somewhere, from the city, that Raven girl watched, as Kat took off to meet Gade.
?: Why hello there...Raven, is it?
When Raven turned around, she saw Alias, standing alongside his puppet Cole.
Raven: What do you want, Alias?
Alias: Me? Oh, nothing, nothing at all. Lovely city, isn't it? The people look so happy, so cheerful, warm your heart...
Raven: Why are you here?
Alias: Have you heard the latest news, the champion of Heckseville, Cole MacGrath has gone missing.
Raven: Your point being?
Alias: Well, every city needs a superhero to defend the good people...But since he's not around, who will protect them? How much do you know about him?
Raven: Why should I care, he's not my concern.
Alias: Oh but he should be, after all, you have a job as well, don't you? You too have someone you want to protect dearly. And who knows, the electric man just might get in the way of that...he may be champion but that might get to his head, make him believe that he owns everything. The people, the city itself...even Zaza and all those precious children.
Ravens eyes suddenly widen up.
Alias: Who's to say his little Shifting companion is to be trusted as well, the people look up to her as well, fame just might slip into that petty little head of hers...what will you do if they take those children away from you?
With that, Raven took off, flying through the sky, heading after Kat.
Alias: Now this'll be a show I'm dying to see, wouldn't you agree, MacGrath?" Alias asked.
The puppet Cole simply smiled, as they watched down on Heckseville.
