Chapter Three: Imitations
Serenity and Terra had decided to spend the entire weekend in Odessa, reminiscing about their past, as well as to think about what may lie ahead in the future. Serenity also wanted to pay respects at the grave of her master, who was killed seven years ago.
The two walked away from Primatech Paper, where they had just completed their mission. Short of being called back in to the Company, they would have all weekend to do whatever they wanted.
"So, what do you want to do?" asked Terra.
"Hmm…" Serenity was deep in thought. "Well, first, I must stop by my master's grave. Then, I guess we can go to my house and watch anime."
"Oh, that's sooo cool, Serenity-san! Let's do it!" cheerfully exclaimed Terra. Serenity always had the best ideas!
Serenity grabbed Terra's arm and teleported the two of them to her master's grave.
Xarash had been handing out her delicious cookies to all of her adoring family members. Everyone said they were the best cookies they had ever eaten! Tanya was trying to hand out the cookies she had made, too, but hers were so nasty, especially compared to Xarash's, that no one wanted them.
After she had handed out all of the delicious cookies to her loving family, she decided to go spend time with Samuel. They were so totally in love!
She walked to his trailer and cutely knocked on the door. How is it possible to knock cutely? Who cares? LOL!
Samuel answered the door. "Hello, my love," he greeted her with a grin.
"Good morning, Samuel," she sweetly greeted him.
"I'm glad you came," he happily said as he exited his trailer. "We have work to do."
Xarash grinned slightly. "I thought so."
"You can feel them, can't you? All of them, out there, alone, waiting, destined to be a part of our family."
"Yes. I feel them. I have you to thank for that," she responded before kissing him. Xarash was sooo glad Samuel was twenty-three! He had always been twenty-three, even though he's supposed to be fifty and was born in 1961, but that means he would have to be fifty, but he's not, because the author of this totally awesome story wants him to be twenty-three so he can be Xarash's boyfriend, and Xarash is awesome, but that messes up the canon, but Xarash… Awesomeness… . The author's brain has temporarily shut down due to an overload of Sue logic. Please restart.
Rebooting…
"Where are we going?" Xarash asked her totally awesome boyfriend.
"New York," he replied.
Luna had been making a string map, just like Hiro taught her to make, in order to attempt to connect his disappearance and other events to those five people on Kirby Plaza. If her theory was correct, and any of those people who made her so uncomfortable were connected to Hiro's disappearance, this would lead her to him. Luna really didn't like those people. They acted like they were trying to be more mysterious and badass than her! But that was impossible! She was the most mysterious badass in the world!
She continued working on her string map. Soon she would have the answers.
Honda was walking down the street in Costa Verde.
His girlfriend was with him.
She told him he was cool and that she loved only him forever and ever.
A guy came out of the bushes. He was a telepath. He put them in a nightmare.
There was a big wall in the nightmare. The two of them had to work together to get out.
After an hour, which seemed like months, they got out.
"Cool," said Honda.
Ravyn was looking through the data on her computer which she had obtained from Mohinder. She had been visiting him in his dreams often lately. Using it, and with a little bit of fun "interrogating" Sylar, who she still had chained to a wall in an undisclosed location, she had her next target. She looked over her shoulder to see Alex asleep in her bed. He would probably go crazy missing her and searching for her when he got up. He would just have to wait though! She got up, grabbed her keys, and left her apartment.
In the parking deck, Ravyn began looking for her car. It was a super-cool and expensive black convertible with an all-black leather interior. It was super cool, and it was perfect for a totally sexy badass like Ravyn!
She found her car and got in. She put on her sunglasses, which, along with her totally cool outfit, made her look awesome. It wouldn't take her long to get where she was going. She started the car and sped out of the parking deck.
Serenity and Terra were at her master's grave. Serenity had been paying her respects. After she was done, she walked over to Terra. "Ok, now we can go to my house."
"Yay! I'm so excited!" merrily exclaimed Terra.
Serenity grabbed her arm, and they teleported to her house.
"We have to be quiet as we walk in, because my parents may be asleep or hungover, because they are both alcoholic and mean and stuff," Serenity whispered to Terra as she opened the front door.
As the two of them walked in the front door, a beer bottle came flying at them. It shattered on the wall inches from Serenity's head! Oh no! Serenity was instantly stricken with intense fear.
"Wha' the hell're you doin' here?" her father asked. He was sitting on the couch completely drunk.
"I just decided to come home for awhile," Serenity timidly stated. It's totally not weird that Serenity can kill a person with a thought but is terrified of her alcoholic father.
"So I guess that thar fancy-smancy school is too good for ya?" he spat.
"No, I like college. I'm president of the anime club, and…" she replied, trailing off.
Her father didn't hear her, however, because he had blacked out. Serenity was completely petrified with fear. Tears welled in her eyes.
"C'mon, Serenity-san," Terra said, grabbing her arm. "Let's go somewhere else."
The two of them left the house.
"What should we do now?" asked Terra.
"Hmm… I'm not sure," replied Serenity, who was now completely fine, even though she was completely distraught five seconds before.
"Why don't we go to the high school?" Terra suggested. "It's homecoming tonight, and the author of this totally awesome story has a totally awesome and original plot point that we have to be there for it to occur."
"Well, football is totally for conformists, but if there's a totally awesome plot point, and I get to be a hero and stuff, then we can go," responded Serenity. The two of them began walking towards Union Wells High School, which makes no sense, because Serenity can teleport, but whatever.
Xarash and Samuel had arrived in New York. They were there because there was a potential family member they had to find.
"Where are we going to look for this potential family member, Samuel?" Xarash sweetly asked. Isn't it great how dedicated she is?
"My sources tell me we shall be able to find them in Central Park," he replied to his lover.
The two of them walked up Fifth Avenue towards Central Park, holding hands and talking about how much they loved each other the whole time.
When they arrived, Samuel sat down on a park bench. He gestured for Xarash to join him, which she did.
"Now, my love," he began, "use your enhanced synesthesia to draw them in. Let your emotions become one with the music, just as you told me you have done with most of our current family members before."
"But I don't have a cello with me, even though this ability can be used with literally any kind of instrument, but I have to do it exactly like the TV show! Regardless, we didn't have the foresight to bring an instrument with us, even though we knew exactly what we'd be doing!" she replied.
"Oh, ok. Let's go find a music store and buy a cello for you to use," said Samuel.
An hour later, they returned with a newly-purchased cello. Samuel had bought the best, most expensive one for Xarash because he loved her so much.
Xarash sat down on the park bench and began to play a haunting melody, trying to draw this potential family member to her. It was the most beautiful thing anyone had ever heard!
After a few minutes, the person arrived, and Samuel greeted him and explained the Carnival to him. The three of them then walked off, on their way home.
Ravyn arrived on a residential street in Maryland. She pulled up in front of an old, dilapidated-looking house. This was where her next target was last sighted. She parked her car in front of the house and got out.
"What a dump," she muttered to herself. "The only reason anyone should ever even go in here is if they're using it as an evil headquarters, because it's creepy looking, even though it's run-down and offers no strategic value or defensive fortifications!" She walked up the sidewalk, remaining alert- something told her she was going to run into trouble, and her intuition was never wrong.
She walked through the entryway; the door was unlocked. She slowly proceeded through the house, carefully avoiding getting covered with icky cobwebs and dust, anticipating anything. It's a good thing Ravyn didn't know fear! She's the bravest person ever! In fact, evil is scared of her! Then it falls in love with her and helps her!
All of a sudden, Ravyn heard a noise in another room, as if something had fallen to the ground with a thud. She boldly, yet cautiously, (even though those are slightly contradictory, but whatever,) walked towards the noise.
As she entered the room, Ravyn quickly dodged to the left, narrowly avoiding taser darts. There were three guys, all dressed in SWAT-style uniforms, and a guy- who Ravyn thought may be her target- unconscious on the floor.
"It looks like I've got a fight on my hands," Ravyn said with a smirk.
Ravyn did an elegant series of back-handsprings to avoid another barrage of darts, then did a super-cool spinning kick, which connected with the side of one of the guys' heads, causing him to fall to the ground.
Another guy rushed towards Ravyn and swung his fist at her, but she caught it and used her expert jiu jitsu skills to throw him. It's a good thing Ravyn has studied martial arts her whole life! She's sooo awesome and cool! The guy she threw dragged himself up off of the floor, and he and the other remaining guy came at her. Ravyn flipped over the both of them and ran into the other room and dove behind a couch.
"Haha!" laughed the guy who hadn't been hit yet. "She's running away!"
"That's what you think," Ravyn whispered to herself. She closed her eyes and concentrated.
Just then, as the guy was still laughing, Ravyn appeared behind him, brutally grabbed his head with both hands, and broke his neck with a loud snap. He fell to the ground dead. The other guy stared at her with a look of shock and fear in his eyes, even though his eyes weren't visible, but whatever. Ravyn then disappeared.
In the other room, Ravyn opened her eyes and stood up. She sprinted towards the other guy, who was still in shock, and finished him off with another super-cool spinning kick to the head.
Now that she had easily defeated those guys, she walked over to the guy they had been after and nudged him awake.
"Luke Campbell?" she asked.
"Nnngh… Who are you?" he asked. He had never seen anyone so beautiful in his life!
"My name's Ravyn. You should come with me."
She helped him up and out of the house. The two of them then got in Ravyn's awesome black convertible and began to drive back to Washington.
After Emma had left, Faith and Peter had gone to see a movie. Faith had a lot of fun, but she still didn't understand why Peter liked her, because she thought she wasn't pretty or special. Oh, boo-friggin'-hoo. Peter was walking her back to her apartment.
"I had a really great time with you," Peter said to her with a smile when they reached the front door of her incredibly expensive penthouse overlooking Central Park, even though she was a nurse and an orphan, so who knows how she can afford that. Whatever. Back to this totally awesome story.
"Thanks. Me too," Faith shyly replied, blushing ever so slightly.
The two of them then passionately kissed! Faith had never kissed a guy before, because no one had thought she was pretty enough!
"I'll see you tomorrow," Peter said. "Goodnight." He then walked off.
Faith walked in her front door and closed it behind her. She took down the noose she had been planning to hang herself with if this date went badly, because she was still totally depressed and miserable, and put it in her closet, where she kept all of the things she liked to use to hurt herself with. She is such a deep, tortured soul! She isn't whiny or annoying at all!
Faith then changed into her nightgown and hopped into her canopy bed with black sheets that looked like spider webs. She would go see Peter again tomorrow.
Serenity and Terra arrived at Union Wells High School, where they had both graduated from in May 2010, roughly twenty minutes before the homecoming game was to begin.
"You wanna go look around before the game?" Terra asked her super-cool best friend.
"Sure," replied Serenity. "This is probably what leads us to the super original, totally cool plot point that the author of this crazy awesome story about my amazing-ness is planning."
The two of them headed towards the main buildings of the high school. They entered a hallway lined with trophy cases, one of which had a display dedicated to Jackie Wilcox, who had been killed at the homecoming game five years ago. You know, you would think they would actually lock the doors or have some kind of security at this school, preventing people from entering, like a normal school, especially considering that someone had been killed there. Whatever. Back to this a-freaking-mazing story!
They then walked out onto a tiered, open, concrete bleacher-like area where students would often eat lunch. It was directly above the entrance they had used to get into the school. Serenity sat down in the exact spot she had always sat back in high school. Terra then joined her.
"All of those people in high school were sooo lame, desu ne?" Serenity asked.
"Yeah, Serenity-san," replied Terra. "They were just totally jealous of how awesome we are."
"How awesome I am," Serenity corrected her in an annoyed tone.
"Oops, sorry, Serenity-san!" nervously apologized Terra. She had almost forgotten that no one was comparable to Serenity's level of pure awesome! She's sooo cool!
All of a sudden, Serenity and her not-near-as-awesome sidekick heard a high pitched scream, causing them to turn towards the door they had used to get outside just a few minutes before.
"What was that?" asked Terra in a panicked tone.
"Trouble," calmly replied Serenity. She is such a badass!
An emo-looking guy, probably around seventeen, ran through the door and let out a high-pitched, girlish screech.
"Help!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.
Serenity ran towards him. "What's wrong?" she asked heroically.
"He's after me!" he exclaimed, tears running down his face, causing his mascara to ru… ruhuh… run HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! …Ahem…
"Who?" she asked.
"I don't know!" he blubbered.
Just then, a shadowy figure exited the building and stopped, looking at Serenity, Terra, and the whiny emo, but mostly at Serenity, because she's so beautiful and stuff.
"Run," Serenity said to Terra and the whiny emo. "Go to the stadium. He doesn't want to be seen."
"But Serenity-san! What about you?" Terra worriedly asked.
"Don't worry about me, I'm super awesome and powerful," said Serenity. "Now go."
Terra and emo lad fled for their lives towards the stadium, like a baby cheetah towards a freshly-killed meal.
"Ok baka," Serenity said to the shadowy figure. "Now you gotta deal with me!"
The figure walked forward out of the shadows. He was pimply, pale, ugly, and skinny. Serenity wouldn't consider dating him at all! He looked to be about the age of the guy he was chasing, and was probably a high school student as well.
His left hand became engulfed in flames, and he threw a ball of fire at Serenity, which she expertly dodged with a backflip. She softly landed on her feet on the edge of the railing at the top.
"You think that's gonna stop me?" she sarcastically asked this ugly villain. "Now it's my turn."
Serenity held up her super pretty hand and telekinetically grabbed him, rapidly pulling him towards her. She pulled his throat straight into her hand, so she was holding him by his neck a foot off of the ground.
"You can't beat me!" Serenity exclaimed with a smirk.
The villain, who could barely breathe and was quickly losing consciousness, weakly turned his right palm towards Serenity. Then, a kinetic burst launched from his hand, sending them both over the ledge! Oh no! I hope Serenity is ok!
The two of them landed on the hard ground below.
Serenity got up (of course she's ok!) and dusted herself off as she healed her injuries from the fall. That stupid baka caused a slight tear in Serenity's super cool and not at all weird outfit!
The stupid baka in question was still alive, though he was unconscious and had numerous broken bones.
"The police should be here to arrest you by the time you wake up," Serenity said with a smirk. "You would think I'd take you in to the Company, considering your multiple superpowers, but this has to be a perfect imitation of the show, so the police take you away!" Serenity then walked off to join Terra and check on the whiny emo.
Luna had nearly completed her string map, which she had been working on all day. Just then, she heard a noise. As she turned around, some guys grabbed her! Oh no!
She tried to teleport or stop time to get away, but, for some reason, she couldn't!
They dragged her outside of her cave and threw her into a black van.
The van drove a short distance, then stopped. The door opened, and they dragged her out. The last person Luna expected to see was standing there in front of her.
"Father," she said to him.
"Yes," Luna's father replied. "And now, your journey comes to an end."
"But, I must save the world again and find Hiro!" stated Luna.
"No," replied her father. "You will come home to the family mansion, because we're super rich, and take your rightful place as Vice President of Moonshadow Corp., even though you're only eighteen and are in no way qualified for that position."
"But father," protested Luna, "this is something I must do. It is my destiny."
"No," he responded angrily, "your destiny is to honor your family."
"I am sorry, father," she said, "but I must follow my heart."
"…Very well," he responded, for some reason changing his mind all of a sudden. "Godspeed, my daughter." He then left with the men who had brought Luna there, leaving his daughter in the middle of the friggin' Mojave Desert.
Luna then teleported back to her cave. She had work to do.
Sorry this took so long to write. I've had severe writers' block all month. I had another part of this chapter planned for Faith, but I decided to drop it since this was getting too long already. Things will really pick up after the next chapter, as I will be done fleshing out the other Sues. Also, another thing to keep up with is the dates on which each chapter takes place. I never explicitly state them, but I keep track of it. Chapter One of Volume One ("I Am Become Perfection") takes place on September 17, 2011, so you all can figure it out if you're that bored.
