Prologue

On the outskirts of Diego...

Tally moved her foot slightly forward and angled her body differently as the board shot up in the air. Her forehead beaded with sweat as dodged through the trees. 'Only a little longer... Come on!' she urged herself as she tried to go faster, pushing her board to it's limits. Her special eyes zeroed in on a tan hand and she took it before feeling her body swing around. Letting out a gasp, she jumped and landed on a tree, barely able to stay up as the others zoomed by her and ended up crashing, not expecting the wall of steel, also known as a skyscraper, in a rusty ruin coming up so suddenly.

After she was sure she was safe, she scrabbled, trying to get up on the branch before sitting back and letting out a loud, rough laugh. Again, she had survived. What else should she have expected? She was special.

In a facility somewhere...

'Wa... Wake... up... WAKE UP!"

Zane jerked away, his eyes wide. "Ughhh...:" he groaned, feeling as if his head was splitting. Where was he? What was he doing here? Wasn't he.. dead? The last thing he remembered was barely being able to move and laying on a bed, waiting for death to come. Something was different though, he felt stronger, healthier...

Lifting his hands against the restraints, he flexed it, realizing there were not tremors. A smile broke out across his face, hope filling his heart. He was alive, healthy, strong... and he felt different. He felt more.. Special. But where was Tally? That was his last thought before the doctors put something on his face, and once more he was floating in nothingness.
