(The Catacombs of the Hellfire Club building, New York City)

"Uhhhhnh…uh…ohhhhh…" Danny "Fingers" Carrington opened his eyes. "What?" He opened his eyes and found himself in a dark, dank chamber. The walls were sparsely lit only by torches. He looked around and he noticed he was shackled by his wrists and ankles to a slanted wooden table. The scent of brimstone filled the air.

"Welcome back to the land of the living, Fingers." Rip quipped. He was shackled to another table. All in all, there were five tables arranged in a semi-circle. Rip, Wendy, Fingers, Tommy, and Alex were all chained to a table.

"Who did this?! We were just walking to your place when these black things jumped us from the shadows! Did you see anything, Fingers?" Tommy asked.

"Same thing you did, man: Black creature with red eyes." Alex replied.

"What's that smell?" Wendy wrinkled her nose.

"I think it is brimstone." Tommy replied.

"It stinks!" Fingers grumbled.

"I want out! Who trapped us?" Fingers grumbled.

"How do we get out of here?" Alex struggled against his bonds.

"You only will leave when I permit." Selene walked in, holding the Elemental Star. "I apologize for the rough treatment my pets gave you. They're not used to keeping the people they capture alive."

"Who are you, lady?!" Alex snapped. "What do you want with us?" Selene smirked.

Oh dear God, no! Kids! Watch out! She's going to… Ronnie yelled desperately.

Now, now Ronnie. Selene chided telepathically. Now you should know only I can reach you in the pendant.

You cow! Those kids may be chosen to hold the powers the Star gives them, but they do not deserve to be twisted to your will! What have they done to you?!

It's perfect, Ronnie. These children are Kid Razor's friends. He won't want to harm them, allowing them to destroy him! Typical hero, always so concerned about the welfare of his friends.

It's the big difference between him and you, Selene. Kid Razor has a conscience! Unlike you, he finds manipulating others so maliciously disgusting!  

The big difference between him and me is that he is a weakling that has been given such power, but is unwilling to use it. The Elemental Star glowed brightly as Selene approached the kids.

"What's that?" Tommy gulped. Selene smirked.

"Your destiny." Selene smirked. She chanted in some ancient language. The Star floated in the air, spinning slowly. It broke into five pieces, one red, one yellow, one green, one blue, and one black. The pieces floated over the kids. The pieces started to enter the Cavaliers' chests, causing them to scream. The red piece went to Rip, the yellow went to Wendy, the blue went to Fingers, the green went to Tommy, and the black piece went to Alex. Selene noticed that as the blue piece entered Fingers' body, his green hair turned blue.

(The Astral Plane)

Ronnie Rocker and Betsy Braddock watched this on a semi-transparent screen.

"Oh not good, not good…" Ronnie gulped.

"What?" Betsy asked.

"That's the Elemental Star. Merlin the magician created it for the five surviving Knights of the Round Table. The Knights' ranks were thinned when an inter-dimensional creature kidnapped Queen Guinevere. The gem gave each of the five knights a superhuman power and mastery over an element. Together with King Arthur, they defeated the creature and rescued the Queen, to make a long story short." Ronnie replied.

"What kind of powers?" Betsy said.

"The red piece grants superhuman strength and the power over fire. The yellow gem grants flight powers and power over thunder. The blue piece grants mental powers and power over water. The green gem grants invulnerability and power over the earth. And last but not least, the black piece allows superhuman speed and power over wind." Ronnie replied.

"Is that bad?" Betsy asked.

"The Cavaliers were destined to get the gem at sometime in their lives, but Selene made it happen herself." Ronnie snarled. "And knowing her, she might make the Cavaliers do something horrible."

"Like attack Kid Razor?" Betsy suggested.

"Yeah. You see, the Cavaliers have known Razor for a long time, even before Razor gained his powers and became Kid Razor. Razor thinks of them as family. He's not going to just engage in a superpowered brawl with people he's known for years, while under Selene's control, the Cavaliers will be given carte blanche to brutalize Razor to their controlled hearts' content!" Ronnie exclaimed.

"I guess we'll have to hurry then." Betsy nodded. "Razor will need Omega's help to keep the Cavaliers busy while we go after that little tart Selene."

"You are going to try and help Omega fight off Selene's control." Ronnie said. "I'm going to see if I can distract Selene."

"How?" Betsy asked. Ronnie smirked.

"If I found a way to the Astral Plane, I can certainly find a way to distract that immortal hag." Ronnie smirked. "No problem. But remember Betsy, I cannot help you outside the Plane. Selene's magic prevents me from leaving for any amount of time."

(Cleveland, Ohio)

"WhoaaaaaaaoaaaaaAAAAAGH!!!!" Omega pitched a screaming Razor into a wall. The bushido-trained mutant was fighting like a wild animal.

"AAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Omega screamed as blue sonic waves hit his eardrums hard. Sonic Blue fired his sonic waves at the mutant, hoping to knock him out.

"C'mon…C'mon…C'mon…" Sonic Blue muttered under his breath. "Fall under…Fall…Fall…" Omega's eyes glowed red with rage. With an animalistic screech, Omega fired off two of his tentacles. The tentacles wrapped around Sonic Blue's forearms and crushed the sonic blasters in his arms. "AAGH!!!" Spencer retched. Omega wrapped another tentacle around the armored teenager's neck. "Ack! Aaaaaa…" Sonic Blue struggled to pull the tentacle off as his windpipe was slowly being choked. Michael Nagrite walked up to Sonic Blue, maniacal rage painting his face.

"You think you can beat me? You little knight-in-shining-blue-armor-wannabe! I won't let anyone stop me from getting Kid Razor's guitar!"

"BON JOVI BOOSTER!!!!!!" Omega turned around and got speared by a human bullet named Kid Razor. The impact of Razor hitting Omega sounded like a shotgun blast. The shock forced Omega to release Sonic Blue, and Razor sent him flying into an old neon sign. Omega screamed as he got electrocuted, then sent to the ground. Razor helped up his sometime-partner to his feet. "You alright, man?"

"Yeah. I am now." Sonic Blue coughed. Omega got to his feet. His eyes glowed like red headlights.

"I…am…now…MAD!!!!!!" Omega roared at Kid Razor, and Sonic Blue. His tentacles whirled like helicopter blades. "Now I will have your head, Kid Razor!!!" With a roar, he started to charge them.

"STOP!!!!" A familiar voice called. Omega stopped on a dime.

Well, now business is picking up, as good ol' JR would say! Whose voice was that? And what impact will that person have on the fight? What did Selene do to the Rock 'n' Roll Cavaliers? When'll the Brotherhood show up? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
