Episode 2: Messages
Chris Johnson, outside the room of Nathan Petrelli
"Now we are in big trouble!" the Samuel L. Jackson look-alike shouted as he discovered his enemies has escaped.
A SWAT armored man approaches Chris and asks him, "Sir what do we do now?"
"I'll take care of the damages...I'll use my powers to repair what can be repaired," Chris says and he looks at the unconscious victims, "Just make sure those civilians won't remember anything."
"I can take care of that," an approaching Haitian said to the men.
"And who heck are you?" Chris asks the Haitian in annoyance, "How did you get up here? My SWAT team made sure the elevator was shut down and no one would access the stairs coz there are bribes guards taking care of those."
"Well apparently the Company sent me here in case you get into trouble," the man said in a deep voice and then headed to the direction of the civilians, "Now if you will excuse me, I will use the powers God gave me to get rid of the nightmare you brought into the memories of these innocents."
"Whatever," Chris then raises his hands into the air but nothing happens. He then goes to the Haitian and tries to use his power at him, "What the…why can't I use my powers? What did you do to me?"
"I took care of that also," the Haitian said as he began to remove the memories of the people, "Now if you will let me finish my task here undisturbed…I can leave you to clean your mess."
"Fine!" Chris said and he left the Haitian do his 'thing'.
Hiro Nakamura, Inside the Apartment of Isaac Mendez
A figure in black with a sword strapped in his back is seen looking at the painting of the explosion of New York in the floor.
"This picture seems to be quite nostalgic," the man thinks in Japanese and the man begins to look at the sky, "I hope the kid reaches there in time…that way we can avert the catastrophe in my future."
A couple of shouts are heard and the man suddenly disappears and reappears in the 'shouting scene'. Hiding in the shadows, the man almost cries to see the past version of his fallen friends in the future. Peter Petrelli was there as he expected, but he man didn't realize his student to bring Nathan Petrelli and Matt Parkman, the only one among the three who survived in his time before he went in the past timeline. The Future Hiro then reveals himself as his student tries to explain on why he brought them in this place.
"Hi…Hiro?" was all that a shocked Peter Petrelli can say.
"Peter Petrelli…it's been quite a long time since I've last seen you. As you know, you once informed me that in the past, a future version of me told you the in saving the cheerleader…you save the world. Now I'm here to tell you a message that would save us all from the hell that is my future…and so is Neil's future." Hiro Nakamura says in perfect English.
Noah Bennett and Kai, Somewhere in Japan
The newly partnered team enters the dojo-like temple and sees an auburn haired man who greets them warmly, "Noah Bennett, welcome to Japan,"
This shocks Bennett and his partner, but the man continued, "I'm Kira, Kira Minato."
"How did you know his name?" Kai asks the man in a demanding tone.
"I'm been expecting him to come…since I know why you both are here," the man says in a rich English accent and he began to smirk, "Although I'm quite surprised to see that he brought a…runt to bag and tag me."
Kai then gives a face full of hatred to the man, "Teme!" Kai shouts at the man (Bastard!)
"Bakka!(Stupid) You don't even know what I'm capable of!" the man retorts to Kai.
"I'll show you," Kai says as he takes of his tuxedo but is stopped by Bennett.
"Wait…you're right Kira we don't know your skills," Bennett says to Kira, "But then again if you won't come with us…in a peaceful way. My new friend here can bring you with us in a stretcher."
"I'd like to see him try," Kira retorts, "I bet he can't even touch me."
"Why you!" Kai then charges at the man and thrusts his right arm forward, showing three bones shaped like Wolverine's claws going out. Before the bones can reach 1 meter away from Kira, Kai feels something grasp his right foot and sees a hand of sand grabbing it.
"Told you," Kira says mockingly in Kai's face, "You can't touch me,"
At the same time, the sand in Kai's right foot pulls Kai away from Kira and throws him to a wall.
Bennett is surprised to see that his partner is simply thrown away by his target's sand, but he is more surprised of the ability of Kira.
"So you're the real life sand man" Bennett tells Kira, who smirks, "No wonder you're so confident with that interesting power of yours."
"Even if he is sand man…it won't matter!" Kai says as he is standing up, he then raises his arms in front of him and points his fingers at Kira, "Let's see what can you do with this."
Small bones suddenly are trying to go out of the fingers that begin to head in the direction of Kira faster that the eyes can see. The bones hit Kira, who falls down.
"See Bennett? Piece of cake…to bad we can't bag and tag him," Kai tells his partner proudly and heads towards Bennett.
"It's okay," Bennett tells Kai, "He would be too dangerous anyway."
"I don't think so," Kira tells the leaving duo, who looks back seeing sands floating in mid air and form Kira once more.
"But….that's impossible," Kai says in disbelief as he sees the body of the 'Kira' he just killed, "I just killed you."
"Oh that one," Kira reformed Kira chuckles, "I can also make copies of myself out of sand."
The body then stands up and smirks.
"Now the real fight begins!" Kira shouts as he raises his arm forward, and his imitation suddenly turns into sand and heads toward Kai, who is hit and crashes into the door that sends him to the steps of the temple.
"Kai!" Bennet shouts.
Bennet then looks at the auburn haired man and sees a small mountain of sand beside him, "Wait a minute I've seen this before."
"Yes Mr. Bennett…You've seen this before," Kira tells a surprised Bennett, "In a painting of Isaac Mendez."
Future Hiro Nakamura, Petrelli Brothers, Matt Parkman, Neil, Above Isaac Mendez's apartment
"Message? Save the Cheerleader? Save the World?" Nathan says in disbelief as he looks at his brother, "Is this another I'm going to blow up New York situation again? Because frankly I've been shot, teleported and now I'm seeing Hiro Nakamura who says there is an apocalypse waiting for us?"
"I have no idea Nathan…but since we're all here…and I know that the Hiro here won't come back in risking a rift…I suggest we listen to him if this involves the future," Peter explains to his brother.
"Thank you Peter," Hiro says to his old friend, "I wasn't really expecting for a lot of you to come here, but if you wouldn't mind…I must pause the time for the message I bring is only for Peter."
"I understand," Matt Parkman replies.
"It's fine with me as long as Peter won't get in any life or death situations," Nathan tells Hiro, who just nods and suddenly everything stops and the time-traveler looks at Peter.
"Peter I know you've been through a lot by now…betrayed by Adam, Nathan is shot, your memory is lost…and so is your…love," Hiro says to Peter in a solemn voice.
"Caitlin…" Peter said softly while feeling a great nail is being hammered to his heart, "Is there anything we can do to bring her back?"
"Well…I may not have the capability but my friend here Neil might be able to do something about it," Hiro assures his friend and then his face becomes serious, "Peter, what just transpired…your brother's near death experience and the attempt on his life on the hospital are all but beginnings on what is to happen."
"What is to happen? What will happen Hiro?" Peter asks his friend.
"I can't tell you that…remember I'm risking a rift in here…so I'm here to tell you the gist of it," Hiro's voice then becomes grave, "We are all in grave danger…the future where I come from is a very dark place Peter…so dark that there is no more hope left in it."
Hiro then continued while walking around, "I have come to tell you that you must Meet the Invisible Man…his connection is a key in saving all of us…together in saving him, you must protect Claire…her blood will become important for the fate of mankind…Once reunited with Claude, I want you to gather as many allies you can…that way you will a chance in defeating the villains I faced. Finally, you must strengthen if you are to win over the 'chaos' in your future."
Peter asks confusedly, "Okay…I know that protecting Claire is needed…but how will I be able to find Claude? What is the chaos in the future?"
"I'm sorry Peter…I can't answer your questions…it's only Neil who can answer them when it's the right time," Hiro sadly tells his friend.
"Neil? What does have Neil to do with this?" Peter asks Hiro in a confused voice, "Granted he can teleport…so I guess he can bend time and space like you do right? So he is also risking a rift if he answers my questions."
Hiro then laughs for awhile and gives a rare smile at Peter, who thinks that this Hiro hasn't been happy for quite a time, "Looks like you haven't figured out my student's ability."
"Uhh…no," Peter answers.
"Well to be put simply…Neil has the ability to manipulate dimensions," Hiro informs his friend, who becomes more confused, "Okay...to be put in simpler terms…Neil has the ability to rip out portals…or that's what he calls them and from that portal he can go anywhere he wants. It's also a certain form of teleportation. He can bend space, but not time itself although he can rip a portal to the past, but it takes out a lot of strain on him."
"I see…" Peter says while understanding a bit of what Hiro's student can do.
"But he can't freeze time like we do…but once he ripped a portal here and if he begins to change history, we presumed that an alternate timeline would appear that would be parallel to 'my' future, but explaining Neil's ability is quite complicated even though its complicated his power is one of the strongest and not even I, his teacher, know all of its finer points. That knowledge alone is Neil's secret. I suggest you won't use much of Neil's abilities…since even Neil himself had a lot of trouble when he discovered his powers." Hiro explained, "But even if I will leave…Neil will be here to aid you my friend, till the very end."
"He won't be returning with you?" Peter asks Hiro with curiosity.
"Correct! He will assist you in saving the future and I expect him to be a big help to you Peter," Hiro tells Peter and the Japanese time-traveler checks his watch, "Well…I guess its time for me to leave."
Suddenly time resumes and Hiro tells his student, "Neil-kun, Ganbatte!" (Neil, good luck!)
"Arigato Hiro-sensei!(Thank you Master Hiro)" Neil tells his mentor with a bow, "Watashi wa shippai shinai."(I won't fail you)
Hiro nods and looks at the group and looks at Peter, "Peter…I'm counting on you. The future depends on it. I can only do much."
"I'll do my best Hiro," Peter assures Hiro, who turns his back on Peter and teleports back to the future with a smile.
Everybody was silent till Nathan started to speak, "So Pete…what was that all about?"
"A message…a message to save the future," Peter says as he is looking at Neil, who nods.
"Well…now you've spoken to Hiro…I think it's time for us to leave here and start doing what we need to do," the brown haired youth named Neil said.
"I agree with you," Peter tells his new ally and Peter then looks at Nathan and Matt, "Now I know it's a bit annoying not to know what will happen…but Hiro just gave me instructions and Neil is the only guy here who knows what will happen. So I guess we start off where?"
"I suggest we all go to Mohinder Suresh…I don't know what is happening to them and I miss Molly," Matt suggests to the group.
"What do you think?" Peter asks the teenager.
Neil just shrugs, "Don't look at me! Ask Nathan…he deserves a say in this since he was one shot right?"
The trio looks at Nathan, who just says, "It's okay for me to go to Mohinder…but I would personally like to go home and rest afterwards."
"That can be arranged after we see them," Neil tells Nathan, who nods. Neil then looks at Peter, "So Peter mind of teleporting us to the airport?"
"Airport? Why would I teleport us to the airport?" Peter asks Neil, "I thought you can teleport also."
"Let's just say…traveling to the past takes a lot from me," Neil informs Peter.
"Oh yeah…even if Neil can manipulate dimensions…Hiro told me that time-travel really takes out a lot from a kid," Peter thinks and gets the attention of Matt, "And Matt don't think of trying to pry my thoughts to know what I just learned."
"Sorry Peter…just can't help it," Matt tells Peter through his thoughts.
"Hey!" Nathan shouts to the two, "I know you two are talking with your heads…but as you can see…Neil and I can't hear what both of you are thinking."
"Sorry," Peter takes a deep breathe, "So…ready to leave?"
"Wait! We're missing one detail!" Nathan informs the group, who looks at him, "I need a change of clothes…I can't walk in the airport in a hospital pajama."
"He's got a point" Matt says while imagining Nathan going to the airport in his attire that made him laugh.
"You can laugh you ass off Parkman…but seriously I need some decent clothes," Nathan tells the group.
"Use this," Neil says as he is seen giving Nathan an attire that is similar to the one he wore during his run for Congress.
"Wait…this looks familiar," Nathan says in disbelief and walks to the apartment to change.
"Another ability of yours?" Peter asks Neil.
"Actually, it's just a part of it," Neil informs Peter, who tries to get the information from Neil telepathically but fails due to Neil speaking a language Peter doesn't understand, "And don't think of getting what it is from my head."
"Well…I'm set!" Nathan tells the group as he approaches them in his attire.
"That was fast," Matt remarks.
"Okay let's go," Peter says as the group hold each other and disappear out of plain sight.
Mohinder Suresh, Molly, Maya and Elle, JFK Airport
"What's taking dad so long?" Elle asks Mohinder when suddenly a bald man with glasses in a black tuxedo approaches them.
"Sorry I'm a bit late…but the Company jet is in Japan right now," Bob Bishop informs the group, he then sees Maya, "Mohinder…who is she?"
"Oh…Bob this is Maya and Maya this is Bob," Mohinder introduced the two complete strangers to one another, "Bob…Maya has the ability to somehow unleash a plague that can kill those who are around her."
"I see," Bob says and he then looks at Elle, "And you have failed me for the last time Elle! Instead of killing Sylar, you let your sloppiness give him the chance to gain Mohinder's antidote to heal himself."
"But who placed the virus on him at the first place?" Elle retorts at her father.
"Why you…" Bob says in outrage but he is then interrupted by a person who is calling Molly.
The group looks around and sees Matt Parkman, Neil and the Petrelli Brothers.
"Matty!" Molly shouts as she runs toward Parkman, who hugs and carries her, "I missed you."
"So did I Molly…So did I…" Matt says.
"We're not yet over young lady," Bob says to his daughter and then he is surprised to see Nathan walking around, "Nathan Petrelli…I thought you were shot."
"Yeah…and luckily I recovered fast enough to kick your ass!" Nathan says as he is about to charge at the head of the Company but he is stopped by Peter and Mohinder.
"Not here Nathan…there's too many people," Peter says to his brother as he sees the people giving looks at them, "We should probably leave."
"Listen to your brother Nathan…and besides I did not authorize an attempt on your life," Bob tells the group as he leads them out of the airport, "I think it was the Organization XIII who did that."
"Organization XIII?" Mohinder asks in confusion.
"Organization XIII is…" Bob is about to continue when Neil interrupts him.
"Is the organization that doomed us all," Neil said with hatred in his eyes.
Noah Bennett, Kai and Kira Minato, Japan
"Even if you try your worst you can't kill me," Kira told Kai as he turns into sand to avoid the attacks of Kai and reforms in another side of the temple.
"Is that what you think?" Kai says breathlessly and grabs a long bone from his back, with his left arm, that turns out to be his spinal cord, "My ability to regenerate bones at a very fast rate will be an advantage on my part."
The right arm suddenly is covered by larger bones and forms a tooth-like weapon.
"This is composed of the strongest bones of my body…and this will be your doom!" a half naked Kai shouts and charges at Kira, who just puts his hands to the floor and a solid wall of sand appears in front of him.
The tooth-like bone weapon hits the solid wall of sand and the weapon cracks. Kai then draws back his right hand away from his weapon and goes up the bone and jumps toward Kira with his spinal cord in a thrusting motion.
"Shimatta!" (S#T!) Kira shouts but then brings his hand together like he is holding an orb.
The wall of sand softens and wraps around Kai in mid-air.
The sand then becomes a circular globe in mid-air and it only shows the head of Kai.
"Kai!" Bennett shouts as he draws out his gun to shoot Kira but is knocked away by the sands.
"Now Kai...like I told you earlier you won't have a chance against me..." Kira then slowly puts his palms together in a slow motion and Kai is seen being suffocated and covered by the sand, "Good bye Agent!"
Kira then pushes his palms together and the sand around Kai exploded and blood was thrown everywhere. The body of Kai falls down to the floor and is then covered by sand.
"You…killed him," Bennett says and starts to aim his pistol at Kira.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Kira tells Bennett while putting his hands into the pockets of his red trench coat and starts to walk towards the end of the temple.
Bennett lowers his pistols and asks, "How did you know about the painting?"
Kira stopped and turned his head to the side, "Lowered you gun I see…I suppose it's time for you to know what this Company is all about. Follow me."
Kira continued his walk towards the end of the temple and Bennett starts to follow him.
"The Company as you know…was created to protect, help and discover people with abilities such as me and that loser back there," Kira explained, "As the years passed by the original founders began to have different ideals that started the division within the Company. Adam Monroe and his disillusioned friends formed Organization XIII to protect their interests in the Company if ever it fails to do their bidding, if it weakens, dangerous threats arise or if these founders want to carry their agendas secretly. I, on the other side, am part of a group created by Kaito Nakamura and Charles Deveaux."
"A group created by Charles Deveaux and Kaito Nakamura?" Noah Bennett asks out of curiosity.
"Yes. Originally this group is supposed to be called the Deveaux Society…but due to the few numbers that are on our side the group was suddenly named the Lucky Seven," Kira informed Noah.
"Lucky Seven?" Noah asked.
"Yes…since amongst the original number of members of the Company only 7 were recruited by the two founders and I was one of the original members of the group 7 years ago." Kira told Noah and they stopped in front of the Dragon Statue at the end of the temple. Kira twisted the middle right claw and a trap door opened.
"Where are we going?" Noah asked Kira as they are going inside a descending tunnel.
"I'm leaving the place as you can see," Kira states it in a as-a-matter-of-factly, "Now I must tell you…the set of paintings you have are the first set of paintings that Isaac Mendez made and luckily both Kaito and Deveaux are the lucky enough to have seen them for Charles has a thing with arts so is Linderman. These paintings shows on what is to happen in the near future…and to be honest my appearance in the second picture was the one that demanded my membership into this group."
"What did these paintings show? " Noah asked seriously.
"A series of events that would lead to an unknown catastrophe in the future," Kira said in a serious tone, "This is what Lucky 7 is trying to do, to avert the disaster in the future by stopping the Organization XIII, who plan to use these paintings as a guide for them to conquer the world. That's why they were out of commission 7 years ago…since I destroyed the paintings myself 7 years ago…so neither group would get any painting. Unfortunately, the Organization managed to photograph some of the paintings before its destruction."
"So what does it have to do with me now?" Noah asks sternly.
"Noah…several reports I have heard show that you yourself tried to take down the Company," Kira informs the agent as they are exciting the cave, "Now…I'm going to give you the chance to join our ranks, even if you don't have super powers."
"I…I don't know what to say," a shocked Noah Bennett replies.
The landscape outside the cave is at the base of the mountain, wherein Cherry Blossoms are seen blooming.
"I know that you broke ties with them, but what made you stay with them?" Kira asks Noah while leaning in a tree.
"Because…if I don't return to them, they will take Claire and do things to her that I will protect her from," Noah tells to Kira, "Your offer is tempting…but I cannot risk my family's safety."
"Then how about if I say that…the group will take care and protect your family at all costs," Kira offers to Bennett, who is surprised.
"The Company is powerful and many…and you said it yourself that you are fewer in numbers...give me a reason why I should join you?"
"Because…we have Claude," Kira then vanishes with the winds.
Noah, is surprised and goes back to the temple in deep thought. As he leaves the temple, he sees a familiar figure standing by a tree.
"Where'd you go?" a bruised and bloody Kai asks.
"Kai…how did you survive?" Noah Bennet asks in disbelief
"Apparently, that guy underestimated my abilities," Kai says as layers of bones suddenly sprout our of his body, "I used this bones as a last resort armor not to be crushed by the pressure of the compacted sands…if it weren't for this I'll be dead…So where'd you go?"
"I tried to follow him…but he vanished in the wind," Noah Bennett lied.
"Really…the guy really has some skills eh? We better go back home because we can't do anything anymore."
Noah nods and the two leave the temple to go back to America.
Niki Sanders, Unknown Place
An unconscious Niki Sanders is seen waking up from a deep sleep and looks at her surroundings. She turns her head around to her that she's lying in a bed, that is in a room white only an antique chair in it. She then remembers what happened before she blacked out and all she remembered was her son.
"Micah!" Niki shouts as she sits up and she realized that she was naked. She covers herself up with the blanket and sees a white shirt and a newly laundered jeans on the chair. She puts it on and exits the room.
She sees a wooden table with four plates on it and four pairs of a spoon and fork. A woman is seen at her right hand side and is preparing breakfast.
"So…you're awake," the young, beautiful and blue eyed blonde woman says to Niki, "I'm making bacon and eggs for breakfast. Would you like some?"
"Uh…okay," Niki answers in a confused voice and sits on a chair by the table, "Where am I?"
A young man's face suddenly appears inches away from Niki's left cheek, "Someplace safe Miss Beautiful."
Niki is surprised and tries to slap the man, who suddenly appears by the other side of the table, "How did you?"
"Now that's not the way a pretty banged up lady should say thank you to the guy who just saved her…ain't that right Lorelei?" the young man says to Niki in a rapid British accent, while sitting opposite of Niki's chair.
"Yeah right," the woman named Lorelei answered and suddenly added, "Pervert."
"Watcha' say?" the young man snapped back at the young woman.
"Nothing you jerk!" the Lorelei shouts back at the young man, "Now you better call Steve and tell him breakfast is ready or I'll use this pan to hit your head."
"Geez woman! Keep on continuing like that and your sexy points on my chart are gonna go down," the young man says while putting his hands back to his head.
"Why you…" Lorelei says is outrage and picks up two eggs and throws it at the man, who suddenly appears behind Niki.
"Name's Mikey by the way," the young man whispers to Niki before he blurs out of sight.
"God I swear I'll get him if he doesn't use that power of his," Lorelei says to herself and suddenly sees Niki, "Oh I forgot…breakfast!"
Lorelei places the bacons and eggs into several plates and places them on the table.
"Sorry for that guy anyway…he's really a jerk," Lorelei explains to Niki, "I don't really shout…but that guy really ticks me off. I'm Lorelei by the way Lorelei Hanson and you would be?"
"I'm Niki Sanders. Well…I'm just curious…but does that guy have super speed?" Niki replies
"Obviously…but compared to Steve…he's just like a fly to him," Lorelei informs Niki.
"Steve? Does that guy have powers too?" Niki curiously asks Lorelei, who nods, "Do you have a power?"
"Uhuh…but it's not really as good as Steve's or Michael's for that matter," Lorelei explains but then asks Niki, "But wait do you have powers too? Steve mentioned you might have."
"Well…I sort of had…super strength," Niki tells Lorelei sadly.
"Had? What happened? Did somebody take it?" Lorelei asks Niki.
"I sort of…have a virus that takes away my powers…and it eventually might kill me," Niki explains to Lorelei as she ate her breakfast.
"Explains how you weren't able to save yourself out there," a voice says.
Niki turns around to see a white man wearing grey pants, a white shirt that says Yatta and has a white/green farmers' hat. The man takes off his hat showing long messy white hair that reaches his neck.
"Hello Niki…I'm Steve Friedrich Euler, the man who really saved you, and not Michael over there," the man points to Michael, who is just by the door to Niki's room, "The three of us here have unique abilities…and I myself have abilities that I use to help people like us."
Steve then sits down on the table and looks at Niki with his serious brown eyes, "Now you were saying something about a virus?"
