AN: This will be a prelude to one of the three Chaos Sparks that will occur in this story, as well as a very large shock to Scions in the form of the greatest betrayal.
Trials
"All rise for the honorable Judge D. Lindse." The Bailiff in the county court office announced, his dark gaze settled on Perfection and Astral.
Slowly and with great measure for theatricality the somber face of Judge D. Lindse came to top of his pulpit and his overly bored tone echoed through the hall. "Be seated."
First up was the prosecution and did they have angle's to exploit. The prosecutor was not only an outspoken advocate of the mutant registration act, but also a known member of the FoH.
"Your honor before any proceedings begin I feel it necessary to bring to the court's attention that the defendant's lawyers are in fact mutants." The Prosecutor smiled "And therefore are exceptionally prejudiced in their presentation of their client."
"Hey dumb ass." Astral whistled between gritted teeth, "We're supposed to be prejudiced for our client."
"You honor I object." The Prosecutor was flaming at the collar.
"Assistant District Attorney James, he has a point, so don't try anything funny with legalese. This case will not be troubled by petty prejudices and egos of hate-mongers. However, Mr. Frieght, I will have to fine and rule you in contempt should another outburst like that occur."
"Fair enough." Astral sat back in his chair where he waited during the prosecution's presentation of it's case. Not once did he or Perfection attempt to cross-examine any witnesses and if it weren't for the fact that the prosecution only presented an hour and a half of quasi-believable evidence as well as questionable character witnesses, Astral would have thought the trial was incredibly one-sided.
"The Prosecution rests your honor." A.D.A. James said with a bow and smile towards the jury.
Astral rose, a smug smile on spread across his face. "You honor for our first witness the defense calls expert video specialist of the US Army; Mainframe."
"Your Honor I object…" The ADA was caught with a sudden gag in his throat as he suddenly coughed up a hairball and then pointed a finger at Astral. "You attacked me!"
"I didn't even move, besides, I just got wings." Astral rolled his eyes.
"Then it was on of your friends!" The man shrieked.
"None of them can do that." Astral lied as felt Karma's presence near bye. "So state your objection… We're all waiting on pins and needles."
"Your honor, that man is a known associate of the Misfits! He cannot possibly be trusted!" The ADA was livid.
"Are you telling me that you believe an elite technology specialist in the US Army would lie under oath?" The judge raised an eyebrow.
"YES!" ADA James shrieked like a little girl.
"Overruled." The judge just sighed as Astral and Perfection blinked in shock in correspondence with the entire room.
"B-b-b-but…" James argued.
"ADA James, for the past hour and a half I have watched you make a complete mockery of this court with nothing but conjecture, pseudo-science and what I'm ninety-percent sure was a transvestite hippy palm reader as your expert witness, so excuse me if I take their witness just a teensy bit more seriously. No sit back down in that chair before I hold you in contempt!"
The entire courtroom fell silent as Astral and Perfection slowly approached the bench with stars in their eyes.
"Yes counselors?" The Judge asked.
"Can we have your autograph?" Astral asked in complete awe.
"Please?" Perfection added with childlike glee.
"Gentleman can we please get back to your presentation?" Judge Lindse smiled as he gritted his teeth.
"Right!" Perfection zipped back to his seat as Mainframe approached the chair.
The presentation of the single most shocking piece of evidence went of flawlessly. Mainframe was able to make a full description of the accuracy and authenticity of the FoH's security camera and even managed embarrass the ADA even more. However the biggest shock to the jury was when Evan appeared on screen just as the time rolled to five minutes after nine, the general time that the coroner had declared the time of death to be. That evidence coupled with the begrudging evidence of Graydon Creed provided all the information that the defense had and as luck would have it, just what was needed to sway the jury.
It was near nine at night when the jury came back with the verdict of not-guilty and the court room erupted in both joyous exclamation and rage. The victorious defense made their way through an angry mob with Cloud and InuYasha providing both threats and protection.
"Hey Astral." Perfection said a he warped into his normal outfit. "Did that judge seem just a bit to lenient for you?"
"Yeah…" Astral narrowed his eyes, "And I felt Karma too, but I couldn't pin-point her."
"Same here." Perfection mused on the thought, but not for long as he saw Wraith in human form.
"So you two won." Wraith said as his shaggy green hair covered his eyes slightly, his clothes however definitely made him stand out as he looked like a Prince wannabe decked out in green and black.
"Yup." Perfection grinned. "Did you sense Karma at all?"
"Yeah, she was advising the judge." Wraith smiled. "Never thought she had it in her to get a lackey."
"Huh?" Perfection scrunched his nose in confusion.
"She has the judge as Representative of Balance." Wraith pulled a cinnamon stick from nowhere. "Sort of like Sarlac is my representative in my home world."
"You know that guy gives me the creep." Perfection shuddered slightly.
"Sarlac gives everyone the creeps." Astral pointed out. "But Wraith has a good point, Karma used to pretty solid on not having a Representative in any world."
"What's a 'Representative'?" Evan asked as he walked alongside his lawyers.
"Someone we put in charge of protecting an aspect if it's in danger of being thrown off balance." Astral said as and Perfection suddenly stopped. "Perfection do you sense…"
"Oh man this is soooooo gonna hurt…" Perfection groaned as an invisible force struck him and hurtled him flailing back into a wall where a seemingly invisible electrical force pulsed through him.
"I THOUGHT WE AVOIDED THIS!" DM shouted as he ran up to the other Scions.
"So did I!" Astral shouted.
"Avoided what?" Xavier and Hawk shouted in unison as they approached the group.
"Chaos Spark." Perfection said as he dusted himself off. "Damn those things hurt…"
"What?" Hawk asked in confusion.
"Long story short, one of the Scions let themselves be known to the world and now your world has been thrown into a collision course with other worlds." Wraith said as he assumed his normal form. "I don't sense anything odd…"
"Must be a universe with similar laws." Astral growled in annoyance. "Damn it where are the twins when you need them."
"Right here." A dark force warped in front of them. The darkness itself obscured the faces of the forms.
"Geez, talk about good timing! Hey Al, you know who caused this?" Perfection smiled as Maven's unconscious body was tossed to the ground. "Uh… Al, Mave's kinda out of it…"
"For eons he's been picking on me, pushing me, taunting me, tormenting me." Alteran's voice was filled with anger.
"Uh, dude you're scaring your friends." Perfection said as shock lined his voice.
"Friends? Friends! You dare call yourselves friends." Alteran began to chuckle. "You want to know who caused the Spark dear Perfection? I'll tell you. I caused the spark with the removal of a little place I like to call Rome."
"W-w-what?" Wraith stammered, "But there were no deaths!"
"Do you think I'm a fool Wraith? I removed the city and it's landmarks, not the lives within." All taken to a world of darkness.
"But you're light?" Perfection was now in complete shock.
"I decided to trade places." Alteran sneered. "Although I admit he did give up a fight. Anyway enjoy the hell I've set this world on course with, I know Wraith will love the guests from this world." With that Alteran disappeared in spiral of darkness.
"Well this is just great we have another power mad Scion to deal with." Hawk grunted, "Well at least he doesn't want to destroy the world."
"Who could he possibly have meant." Wraith wondered allowed.
"Hey P…" DM was no longer concentrating on the events at hand. "P! P!"
The small group turned to see Perfection lying on the ground a small whimper escaping his almost ocean like face. Perfection was having a breakdown.
"Well this is just great, what else could happen!" Just as Astral spoke a strange portal opened in the sky above the group. "Well of course!"
The portal began to glow brightly and spin in counter-clockwise motion and then it disappeared only to drop a man and a book from it's former position. When the man hit the ground with a loud groan he was almost immediately back on his feet.
"Ohhh…" The man stood on his feet.
"I don't believe it." Astral groaned.
"Not this world…" DM groaned.
Wraith was to busy cursing up a storm to give any final notice as to how he felt about the new universal melding.
"Does that guy have a chainsaw on his arm?" Hawk asked in confusion.
"I do believe he does." Xavier was in shock.
"Hey, baldy, you wouldn't happen to have a problem with demons possessing the living would you?" The odd man asked as he picked up the book that fell near him.
"WHY HIM!" Wraith finally settled on the perfect words to describe his frustration.
AN: Go ahead take guess as to what world has melded into the timeline. I dare you.
