Episode 6: The Legacy of Kensei
Claire Bennett and West Rosen, Costa Verde
West is seen flying with Claire above the grocery store within the area and lands as he sees the Nissan Rogue of the Bennett's parked in the area. Noah Bennett, together with his son and wife, rush out of the store and hug Claire as they saw her.
"Are you okay Claire-bear?" Noah said as he checked up on Claire, "Did something happen?"
Claire was about to speak when Michael suddenly appeared beside the Bennett's car, panting, " Let's say those Company lots managed to catch Claire here…Good thing West and his friend, Neil arrived and helped out. Or else I would be dead meat for sure."
"I see," Noah says as he extends his hands for to Michael, "Thank you for helping us…uhm?"
"Michael…Michael Raines," the Briton says as he shakes the hand of Noah Bennet and says, "You guys better get out of town. I suggest you use the Rogue across the street."
"How?" Claire asks to the British speedster, who suddenly disappeared and reappeared with a set of keys.
"What you need, I can get," Michael says as he opens the trunk of the Bennets' damaged Rogue and blurs out of sight to carry all baggages into the other car. He then looks at Noah and says, "Everything you need is in there. Now go to this address and lay low."
Michael hands Noah Bennet a piece of paper and says, "I'll be waiting there. My number is just below so just call me if there is trouble."
Noah nods as he gestures Lyle and Sandra to get into the car. Noah then looks at Michael and West, "Thank you for helping Claire get to safety. West…I know we had a bad start, but I hope things are resolved now. And I'll probably get Claire talk to you once in awhile."
West smiles and says, "Thank you Mr. Bennet"
"It's time to go Claire," Noah says as he walks toward his new vehicle.
Claire then looks at West and says, "Will I be seeing you again?"
"Once you're safe, then maybe I'll drop by…robot!" West teases Claire as they hug each other and Claire heads off to the car, which leaves as she gets in.
"So what happens now?" West asks his British friend, who says, "Any chance of some drinks in your house? I would really like to have some."
"Sure," West says as they call in a cab back to his house.
Sylar, Costa Verde High School
"Excuse me mam! But do you know a teenager named West Rosen?" the evolved human serial killer asks to a woman inside the thrashed campus, "I know it's quite a mess you have here, but I need to talk to the boy you know. You see there are some…family matters I need to tell him."
"Well…I'm sorry, but as you said the campus was thrashed when I came here and I don't know how in the world all of the pipes and drinking fountains exploded from within that scattered the water all around here," a fat woman replies as she looks at her surroundings, "Even if I know West, I won't tell you where he lives not till I fix the mess in here. Now if you will excuse me…"
The fat woman then walks toward an office and locks it in front of Sylar, who thinks, "I don't think you understand me woman…"
The fat woman sits behind her office desk when she hears the doors being unlocked. The door then opens to show Sylar looking at her with menace, "How did you…?"
Sylar then raises his right arm that sends the fat woman hung to the wall by an invisible force and is appearing to be choking, "I need to know where West Rosen lives!!"
"I…don't…know," the woman gasps as the grip on her neck tightens.
"Then so be it," Sylar says as suddenly the woman says, "From what I know…West Rosen's file is in the debate club members' drawer over there."
"Thank you lady," Sylar says with a smirk as he silently collapses the lungs of the woman with his telekinesis and opens the desk without touching it. He then levitates the files one by one to see of his targets name is in there. Sylar then sees West Rosen's profile and reads it. This makes Sylar smile and say, "I have you now!"
Hiro Nakamura, Hirohito, and Ando, Tokyo, Japan
"Where are we going Hirohito-san?" Hiro asks his father's friend as they are inside a limousine.
"We are going to find the woman, who stole the necklace...with this," Hirohito replies as he shows Hiro a tracking device, with a GPS screen, "This device allows me to track stolen items. And the said item we are tracking is your father's necklace. From this device, I managed to pinpoint where is its location."
"Where?" Ando asks Hirohito, who points at his map, "We are here already"
The trio then exit the car to see a parking lot in front of them. Hirohito then gets a katana from the driver, who offers it, and the trio enter the building.
"One question sir, why would they steal the necklace?" Ando asks once more.
"It's because…the necklace is the key to opening the box that Hiro has that contains the Nakamura Legacy…Be vigilant, our enemies are people with great power" Hirohito explains to the two as he sees a short haired woman and a middle aged Japanese man with a sword strapped at his lower backside.
"Did you get it?" the Japanese man asks gruffly to the woman, "Did you get what they need Daphne?"
"No," the girl replies with a sly voice as she takes out a necklace from her pocket and swings it around, "But I do have the key!"
"Good!" the Japanese man says as he points at the necklace, "Now give it and you'll be rewarded."
"Chance," Hirohito says in English to Hiro and Ando as he goes out of hiding and says, "I won't let you give it! Not till I have a single breathe in my body!"
"Hirohito?" the Japanese man says in surprise as he places his hands to his sword's hilt at his backside, "What are you doing here?"
"You know him?" Daphne says in surprise as the Japanese man nods and she looks at Hirohito, "Well, I can stop you."
Hiro draws his sword and stands beside Hirohito, while Ando followed him. Hiro then raises his sword in the air and says, "I can stop you!"
Hiro then closes his eyes and suddenly time stops. Hiro opens his eyes to see everything frozen but is surprised to see Daphne moving, "How did you?"
"Wow!" Daphne says in surprise as she sees everything is frozen, "You can stop time? Cool! Well I can somehow manipulate time."
"Time?" Hiro says in surprise when Daphne started to pace around.
"You know…I can make time go faster or slower around me to run around in the speed of light in the view of others," Daphne explains as she swings the necklace in mid-air, "But I didn't know I can move even if time is stopped. So…will you use your sharp sword to cut me down"
"Wha…" Hiro says as he then suddenly looked serious, "I must do this! That is a legacy that my father passed on to me!"
Hiro began to charge at Daphne, when time suddenly resumed and Daphne said, "Ooops! I might also have the power to…counter your time stopping abilities"
"Time stopping?" the unknown Japanese man said as he drew a meter long golden sword and said, "Explains why you're a bit closer to me already, but I, Asuma, can stop you!"
Asuma began to run toward Hiro, who suddenly teleported behind Asuma with his sword in a thrusting motion. Asuma suddenly turns around in a graceful spinning motion and blocks Hiro's attack. Hiro looked surprise on how fast Asuma's reflexes are that he didn't have time to see Asuma's fist heading to his face and Hiro gets hit and falls to the floor.
"Hiro!" Ando shouts as he sees his downed friend, but is stopped by a two meter sword held by Hirohito.
"Stay back," Hirohito says as he raises the sword to eye level that he saw a reflection of his eyes, "I shall show you the power that Kaito sensei taught me to wield"
Hirohito then placed his other hand on the sword with his palms open and he then cut down air of out mid-air and he entered into a fighting stance. Floating blades suddenly appeared on the places that Hirohito struck his sword into and he then looked at Ando, "I replicated the blade into floating blades into mid-air to eliminate the threat. I have the ability to create steel out of nothing and mentally control its actions."
Hirohito then thrust his sword forward and the blades are then flying toward Madara. Hiro teleports behind Hirohito just in time to see Madara block all the thrown blades that falls to the floor. Madara then looks at Hirohito and says, "Looks like your ability to create steel has improved, but then again my power of having fast reflexes rival yours!"
The two then run toward each other as the engage in a sword fight that has both of them fighting on equal ground. As Hiro runs to help Madara, he sees Daphne preparing to escape and he stops time once more. Hiro then teleports behind Daphne and places his sword at her neck, "Give me the necklace…or I kill you."
"You'll kill a girl like me just for a necklace? What if I was your girlfriend..would you do the same" Daphne asks Hiro, who looks down and says, "I already cut out my heart and leave just to keep the time and space continuum intact. What difference does it make if I try to harm you for the safety of my legacy?"
"Whatever," Daphne says as he throws the necklace in the air and she kicks Hiro in his private parts and time resumes. Daphne then looks at Hiro one more time and leaves in a blur as Hiro was grunting in pain and managed to grab the necklace.
Seeing Daphne leave, Madara manages to kick Hirohito and punch his opponent with the hilt of his sword. Madara then runs away from his enemies and heads off into an elevator to escape.
Ando runs toward Hiro and says, "Hiro…is everything okay?"
"Yeah," Hiro replies as he sees Hirohito walk toward him, "We may not have beaten them, but I did get back my father's necklace"
"Then we should leave," Hirohito tells the duo as he leads them back into the car and he then informs them, "What is inside that box is a special item that only one man can explain to you…and we're going to meet him."
Peter, Steve, Claude and Derrick, Steve's apartment in New York
Peter, Steve, Claude and Derrick enter the apartment of Steve. As soon as Peter enters the door, he notices Claude and Derrick disappear.
"Where'd they go?" Peter asked Steve in a confused voice.
"Peter, people with empathic mimicry has the ability to absorb abilities right?" Steve asks Peter, who nods. Steve then continues, "When facing people with multiple abilities, our genes…or cells rearrange themselves to copy only the first ability the said person performs."
"So I have your…explosion ability?" Peter says in confusion and a bit of fear.
Steve laughs when the room changes into a warehouse with Claude and Derrick leaning by a wall, "No Peter, what I just created or performed…was the ability to cast illusions. Though you weren't aware of it, you can do such thing with right concentration."
"Is that so?" Peter said in relief, "That's good…or else I would blow up New York if I don't manage to control it."
"Well you have your self-induced radioactivity to do that," Claude snaps back at Peter, "So you have no other worries about that or else you would be like a walking hydrogen bomb of that's the case."
"Well, I chose this ability to cast illusions for the purpose of protecting yourself, disguising yourself and give the Organization XIII one heck of a fight if Claude told me the right details," Steve explained as he threw his cane to the side and puts his hands at Peter's shoulder as they both levitate in the air and says, "Now show me what you can do."
Steve suddenly drops Peter, who closes his eyes manages to float an inch away from the floor.
"Self-propelled flight," Steve said as he began to land, "That's interesting."
Flames suddenly begin to surround Steve's hands as he says, "Now…time for me to flush out those other skills of yours."
Michael Raines and West Rosen, Costa Verde, California
"Nice house you got here!" Michael says to West as Michael sits down on the couch and stretches his hands, "I could relax here once in awhile. I'll have some soft drinks of you have one"
"Well...you can stay for awhile you know," West informs the Briton as he gives Michael a cold can of Coke, "So…how'd you know Claire was going to be attacked?"
"I was ordered to," Michael informs the younger man, who looks in surprise. Michael takes a sip and continues his explanation, "And not ordered by the Company but some people who wants to keep Claire and her family safe from the Company."
"I see…" West says in realization as Michael stands up and gives an empty can of Coke back to West and says to his American friend, "Well West my friend, I gotta go now. I have a sick Niki to save so be careful. And if anything happens, call this number."
Michael then gets a paper from his pocket and gives it to West, who takes it and opens the door.
"I guess I'll see you around," West says to his friend, who replies, "You betcha!"
Michael suddenly blurs out of the sight of West and leaves for New Orleans.
West closes the door not knowing a figure is watching him.
Sylar, Outside West's House
"Looks like the friend of that West kid has left…and it seems he has the power to run very fast…that would be an interesting power," Sylar thinks as he approaches the door of the Rosen Residence, "I'll get West's power first…then find Claire then his friend next."
Sylar rings the doorbell and the door is opened by West Rosen, who says, "Hello, may I ask who are you?"
"Well Mr. Rosen," Sylar says in his formal voice, "I'm sorry for the unannounced visit. I'm Gabriel Sylar. I'm a friend of Mohinder Suresh and I'm here to investigate about your powers."
"Suresh? Isn't that the guy who killed Noah, but was healed by Claire's blood…well that was what Claire sent me when we were cold turkey," West thought as he said calmly to Sylar, "I'm sorry Mr. Sylar, but I'm a bit busy now . Maybe you can come back later."
West closes the door in front of Sylar, who nodded his head at West's excuse.
"I'm sorry West, but I won't let you go for now," Sylar thought as he suddenly heard West's voice with his enhanced hearing.
"Michael? Yeah this is West and I have a man named Sylar here telling me he is a helper of the Indian who killed Noah," West explained to his friend, who replied, "West get out of there right now! That man is dangerous and will kill you!"
As West ran toward the back door of his house, Sylar entered through the back door and said to a surprised West, "I'm afraid you won't have to leave. You see I know you contacted your friend…and I need to take your powers ASAP."
Sylar telekinetically pushed West to the wall and pinned him there with his telekinesis. Sylar then pointed his finger at West's head and said, "The power to fly around like Superman…I can't wait to take that one."
"Take my? AHHH!!" West shouted as he felt his head being ripped open through his scalp and dies out of loss of blood in his brain. West drops dead to the ground afterwards as Sylar walks towards him and says, "Power of flight…here I come."
Michael Raines, Rosen Residence
"West!" Michael shouted as he entered through the doorway of the Rosen Residence. Michael walked around the house just to see Sylar wiping off the blood in his hands and says, "You killed him?"
"And you're next," Sylar says as he began to raise his hands when Michael ran outside of the house and shouts to Sylar, "If you can catch me!"
Michael then runs as fast as he can away from Sylar, who runs outside and says, "Oh I will catch you."
Sylar then jumps into the sky and flies as fast as he can to catch up with Michael, who is miles away from him.
Hiro Nakamura and Hirohito Nakayama, Tokyo, Japan
"Why is Ando not allowed to come here?" Hiro asked his father's friend as he walked inside a temple.
"It's because of him," Hirohito tells Hiro as he points to a mirror that showed Kaito Nakamura in it.
Father! Hiro said in shock as the reflection of Kaito Nakamura stepped out of the window and said, "My son! At last I have this chance with you to reveal the True Legacy of a Nakamura"
"How…did you…survive?" Hiro asked his father, who looked at Hiro seriously, "Hiro, Hirohito might have shown you his ability to create blades of steel out of nothing. My ability on the other hand, is to manipulate mirrors. It allows me to travel at fast speeds from one mirror to another. I also can travel around the mirror world to reach another mirror in the world. In a sense, I manipulate the mirror dimension wherein I am stronger, faster and store my own consciousness. I can also bring into the mirror world and trap him there if I want to. On how I survived, when I was thrown off the Deveaux Building and was about to die…I traded places with my reflection when I looked at a glass window so I would be sent to the mirror world and there to survive long enough to assist you. I'm sorry for deceiving you Hiro, but I am proud of you that you destroyed the virus on your own and defeated Adam"
"Its okay father. I understand the situation…but what legacy are you telling me?" Hiro praises his father, who takes the necklace and box from Hiro. Kaito then attaches the necklace to a carved portion of the box and twisted the necklace, which opened and showed a small letter. Kaito took the letter and showed it to Hiro, "This my son…is our legacy. This letter is written by Yaeko, the lovely princess of Takezo Kensei."
"Yaeko?" Hiro said in confusion, "What does Yaeko have to do with this?"
"Hiro, the Kensei Sword, the Necklace are but parts of the Legacy, but this letter is the true Legacy. It shows the true events of what happened 400 years ago and who Takezo Kensei really was," Kaito explained to his son, "Kensei was you my son...Yaeko spread that you were Kensei and not Adam...but this became a secret a decade later. But this secret must be kept because of one thing, it shows proof that one day a person of a Nakamura clan will go to the past and fill in the role of Takezo Kensei, but up to this day…there is a clan that remained mad at you Hiro. The Nakayama Clan of Hirohito"
"What?" Hiro said in surprise as he looked at Hirohito, who nodded, "Why?"
"After you went back to the present, let's just say Adam as you know it…lived for generations and married different women…one woman of Yaeko's lineage happened to marry Adam and there the seeds of doubt were planted," Kaito explained to his son, who kept on listening, "During those times, there were two branches of Yaeko's lineage…the Nakamura and the Nakayama. Both clans have fought battles upto this day. The battles were fought for the Nakayama Clan wanted to claim the Kensei Sword, the Necklace of Yaeko and this letter. These three alone will give the Nakayama Clan enough power to overthrow us since the information stored in this letter alone…tells of a prophecy that was predicted by an old Japanese sage that…'Two Brothers will fight in a war that would determine the fate of the Yaeko Lineage…One would side with the Sword Saint…and one would side with the forces of chaos in the future. It is only through a Necklace this words shall be read…and once read by the Sword Bearer. Events of chaos shall soon come after and it is with the brothers' unity shall the forces of chaos weaken and fall'…this is the prophecy that was said 400 years ago Hiro. This is your Legacy…This is your responsibility…This is the Legacy of Takezo Kensei."

"Is that bloody thing finished?" Claude asked his friend when he went out of the warehouse to see a levitating Peter still painting at an alley wall. Peter suddenly falls to the ground and is caught by Steve. Claude then sees the final outcome of Peter's vision and says, "My God…"
Peter, Steve and Claude look at the mural that shown an earth that was breaking up into pieces.
"Is this what you saw in the future Peter?" Claude asked Peter as he went closer to the mural, and pointed at it furiously, "Is this the bloody freaking future that's awaiting us?"
"I…I don't know," Peter said as he takes deep breaths out of exhaustion, "It just….suddenly popped out you know."
"Then we might as well stop it," Steve said as he supported Peter back to the warehouse, "We must stop it."
