Heroes
Volume 3: Villains
Author's Notes: Heroes, it's characters and such is owned by Tim Kring and NBC and the rest of the OC's here are mine for the taking.
Episode 7: Revelations
Voiceover of a deep aborigine's voice: It is through the Truth that we gain knowledge, but it is through the consequences of our actions that we truly learn something about living this life that God has given us. It is through love that we learn hate; it is through water we learn thirst…but when we discover revelations that would shock the very foundations of our beliefs. Shall we step up to the challenges of the world and do things that are out of the ordinary to change it? Shall one manipulate these truths to satisfy his/her selfishness? Revelations is last chapter of a sacred book called the Bible that shows on how would the world end and other chain of events that would literally shatter the reality we live in…if the apocalypse shall happen…shall these hidden truths help us in evading a fate worst than death? Or would it simply make us run in fear and let nature set its own course?
Matt Parkman, Nathan Petrelli, Elle Bishop and Bob Bishop, Hartsdale, New York
"Mom has a power?" Nathan asked Bob Bishop, who nodded.
"Like I told you before Nathan and Parkman, we were originally 12 humans with great power, and your mom…as you know now, has a powerful power that she has a say in what will happen in the future or not will happen," Bob explained as Matt interrupted him , "Wait a minute, you said this Sylar guy will release all of them…where is he? I thought Hiro killed him in Kirby Plaza."
"Well…we some kind of let him survive…and it explains why he's back with his powers, which he regained after injecting himself a cure to the virus that Elle was supposed to prevent her to!" Bob said seriously to the group.
"My fault?" Elle protested, "I tried my best daddy! If I wasn't there, Mohinder, Molly and that South American woman would be dead and killed by Sylar!"
"But if you tried harder! You could have killed him right away! You just let your clumsiness and your weak will to get in the way," Bob snaps back at Elle with frustration.
"Hey! We're talking about Sylar here right? Not about how others always fail to do their tasks. And Elle's right Bob…if she wasn't here Molly and Mohinder would be dead," Matt reasons out to the two.
"Very well…but I won't tolerate such failures next time!" Bob says as he looks at Parkman in the eye, "I'll be asking you one last time…are you in or out?"
"I don't know yet," Matt replies as he looks at Bob in the eye, "The Company is not really…honest to their words from what I remember."
"And allowed shooting me that almost killed me!" Nathan added, "We are here to clean up the mess you did. Sorry, but if there is such a threat…I'll find Peter and ask his help in saving all of us from this Organization XIII."
"I know you don't trust me," Bob admitted, but shown a comatose Maury Parkman tied and sedated in a bed, "But when we last worked together, we managed to stop Maury from harming anyone else right?"
"How…Where is he?" Matt asked Bob as he pushed him to a wall and listened to Bob's thoughts.
"I won't let you take his location away from me Parkman…what is important is that you can help me to keep him contained," Parkman heard Bob's thoughts.
Parkman pushes Bob away and said, "You have my dad contained? Where? Is he here…is he in Pandora's Box?"
"Your father is here?" Nathan asked Parkman, who replied, "From what I heard, but I can try forcing it out of him."
"You dare?" Bob asks Parkman with his brows raised as Elle stepped in front of her father and had electricity forming in her hands, "Lay a finger on my dad or mind fk him to get info…you'll have me to deal with."
"There is no need for that Elle," Bob said as he looked at Parkman in the eye, "You can work together with me once more…without any other complications with the Company. And I'll make sure that not only we save the world, but you and Molly will have a good and promising life afterwards."
"Why should Matt believe you?" Nathan asks Bob, who takes a book from the shelf and transforms it into gold, "Because…I have my own Fort Knox to support him."
Matt and Nathan looked at each other and Matt said to Bob, "We'll help you, but if you try to get a toe out of line, you'll have us to deal with."
"I understand," Bob says as he opens his cell phone and says, "Bring him in."
"Who are you bringing in?" Matt Parkman asks Bob, who replies, "Someone I can trust to help us in the upcoming battles and to make things a bit easier."
A man with black hair and a 'Burt Reynolds' mustache' comes in the room wearing a brown tuxedo and looks at the group and says in a deep and serious voice, "Agent Maarten reporting like you requested sir."
"This guy will help us?" Nathan says as he looks at Maarten, "He doesn't look much but does his handsome mustache going to help us?"
Maarten then raises his right palm and flames appear in his hand and says to Nathan, "Or maybe these flames will help you understand."
"Easy Maarten," Bob says to the agent as he looks at Matt and Nathan and says, "Maarten here has pyrokinesis, which gives him the capability to manipulate and create flames. Since Nathan can only fly, and you Matt can only read minds, cast illusions and input thoughts…I think that Maarten's offensive ability would do well with you. Seeing Sylar has reports of having cryokinesis to manipulate ice, Maarten's ability can counter Sylar. Plus Maarten formerly worked with Noah Bennet and his mentor, Ivan."
"I see…" Matt says in understanding, "So what do we do now?"
"I've heard of reports that the Organization XIII has begun to capture Claire, but was thwarted by an unknown force. For what I know is that a certain evolved human named West Rosen helped Claire escape…we can find him and ask him questions," Maarten suggests to the group.
"It's settled then," Bob says as he looks at Nathan and Matt, "Both of you will go to Costa Verde with the Company Jet and find West for interrogation. His powers are similar to Nathan's, so you should be careful if he ever escapes."
"If that's the case, Parkman can do the job," Nathan says as he earns a look from his friend, "Look I know this guy knows where Claire is…but I need to confront my mom and ask her on what is really her role in all this if I am to really help you."
"But!" Parkman replies as Bob raises a hand to silence him, "Nathan's right. If we don't give him the benefit to doubt us, then I'll feel a bit guilty myself for letting the son of my two old friends join me without a say in it. But I warn you Nathan, your mother has powerful allies that can stop you when you are alone. I'll have the Company Limousine ready and I already fed false reports to the media that you are discharged from the hospital and such…"
"Thank you," Nathan says as he leaves Matt in the presence of Elle, Bob and Maarten.
"I guess I should be going to," Matt says as Maarten nods at him and leads him out of the facility.
Elle looks at her father and says, "What about me?"
"Elle, I want you to find Noah on your own and let him establish contact with me," Bob said as he gives Elle the number he and Noah agreed on using in case of emergencies, "This is a safe and clear line that won't let anybody tap into it. Noah and I have discussed on it already and such. Call him and try to find him. Bring him here and we'll see to where it goes next."
"Yes daddy," Elle says as she leaves her dad, who sits at his recliner.
"This is one messed up error that you have to let me finish off Charles…let's just hope we're not too late to do so," Bob thought as he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
Sylar, Somewhere in the Nevada Desert
Sylar lands in the hot deserts of Nevada and looks around to see nothing except for a small safe house in front of him.
"This is crazy! Where did that kid go? One minute I was catching up to him, but he suddenly went super sonic on me that I didn't manage to catch up with him anymore," Sylar thinks as he walks toward the house in front of him. He opens it and sees a kitchen, a bed and a table with a phone on top of it. The phone suddenly rings and Sylar answers it, "Who is this?"
"I am a friend Sylar," a woman's voice replied, "And I know your awaiting destiny."
"Destiny? Are you trying to fool me and set me up?" Sylar snapped back at the woman while trying to listen to the environment where the woman is.
"I told you I am a friend," the woman says in a calming way, "And I assure you that I have nothing to do to harm you, since you are quite valuable to us."
"Really?" Sylar mocked the woman and thought, 'She doesn't have an idea who I am and what I am.'
" Oh I know that you are special," the woman replies, "And are you familiar with a certain man you killed that goes by the name of, Ted Sprague?"
"Of course," Sylar replied as if it was obvious, "It was because of his power that I almost died seeing that New York almost blew up because of it."
"It's good that you remember," the woman replies, "Because this is his house, but now is not the time to remember him. I have a task for you…a task that will let you become a powerful man in the future and to get the revenge you want from the Company."
"What is it that you want me to do?" Sylar asks with interest.
"You'll discover in time," the woman replies, "I recommend you stay there and wait for instructions that involves…attacking the most important of all Company Facilities. I shall say good bye to you now and hope you will consider my offer."
Sylar then places the phone back to the table as he thinks, "This woman says that she can help me in getting revenge on the Company and such. If that's true, then not only I get to have my revenge, but possibly gain more powers like killing their agents just like that woman with the power to manipulate electricity…electrokinesis if I'm not mistaken. I should probably stay, it seems that there is more to this than meets the eye."
Sylar then sits on the bed with the phone in his hand, not knowing that a hidden camera was focused on him.
Hiro Nakamura, Kaito Nakamura and Hirohito Nakayama, Tokyo, Japan
"This is my Legacy? A prophecy that says that it is only with me that the fate of the world is decided upon?" Hiro says confusedly to his father.
"It is through your actions that would determine the fate of the world and with the help of the brothers…we can save everybody from what is to happen," Kaito explains to his son as Hirohito walks the door to reveal a man in a red long trench coat with auburn hair. Kaito then smiles as he sees the man walk toward him and says, "Kira my old friend …how are you nowadays?"
"I'm still herding the cattle if you want a metaphor to go with it," Kira says as he looks at Hiro, "Hello Hiro…I'm Kira Minato, an associate of your father working to resist an organization that will doom us all."
"Organization?" Hiro asks confusedly as Kaito looks at him.
"Hiro…the Organization that Kira is saying is the Organization XIII…that is a group within the Company that I will soon bring the Armageddon awaiting all of us," Kaito explains, "And it so happens…that Asuma Madara…or Asuma Nakayama in real life…is the brother of Hirohito."
"You are the brothers said in the prophecy?" Hiro asks Hirohito, who nods and says, "I know it is hard to separate from the clan, but being the older of the two of us. I must first look on the safety of the world if my clan is to survive…seeing Asuma and I are the only ones left of our clan."
"I see…" Hiro says in understanding as Kaito hold his shoulders, "Hiro…now you know your legacy…it is time for you to set out on another journey that I will personally assist you in together with Hirohito and our sand man, Kira."
"Sand man? Like Spiderman's enemy?" Hiro says in interest as Kira's arm suddenly turns into sand and returns to normal a moment later. Hiro then claps in excitement, "Cool! I get to meet the real Sand Man!"
"Hiro!" Kaito shouts to his son, "This is no joking matter. I'm here to help you and such…that is why I shall store myself in your sword…in order for my existence to remain a secret as Kira and Hirohito travels with you."
Hiro nods as he draws his sword and Kaito touches the blade. Kaito suddenly turns bright and it sucked into the sword.
"Now that he is hidden once more, we must go to America to prevent this catastrophe," Kira informs Hiro as he drags him outside with Hirohito following them.
Hiro then struggles and teleports away from the grip of Kira and says, "I won't leave not with Ando with me!"
"But he is just a distraction to your destiny!" Hirohito informs Hiro sternly as they all hear Kaito's voice, "Let him bring his companion. All heroes are supposed to have side-kicks…right Hiro?"
"Thank you for understanding father!" Hiro says in glee as he hears a stern remark from Kaito, "Just don't fail in accomplishing your destiny."
"If that's the case, Kira you bring Hiro to the Jet…I'll get Ando and meet you there," Hirohito offers as he leaves Hiro and Kira enter the limousine of Hirohito that brought them to the airport.
Michael Raines, New Orleans
A handsome Briton stops from his super sonic fast running as he sees the Dawson residence and thinks, "Good thing that Sylar can's fly at super sonic just like a certain Petrelli does…if Steve told me right. Anyways, I'll just give this cure to beautiful Niki and leave to meet Noah at the warehouse 2 days later."
Michael walks toward the door of the Dawson residence and knocks at it. The door is then opened by a middle aged woman, who says, "I'm sorry mister, but I'm afraid I won't buy the cooking appliances you have to offer me."
"It's not like that mam," Michael said in a rapid British accent, "I'm here to help Niki. I believe she is sick right?"
"Why did you not say so? Come in," the old lady offers the Briton as he lets him in and says, "But I'm afraid you can't do much to help her."
"I actually can," Michael says as he looks around the house, "Where's she?"
"She's in the guest room…it's the third door to your left," the old lady says as Michael rushes to the said room as he bumps into Monica Dawson.
"I'm sorry missy! But where is Niki Sanders?" Michael asks the young woman as she helps her get up.
"Who are you?" the young woman asks him as she hears a weak voice from within the room, "Is that you Michael? I won't forget that British accent of yours."
"Yeah it's me love," Michael says as he rushes to the weakening and sick Niki's side and sees a young boy at her side, who Michael presumed as her son, and took out the syringe Neil gave him, "This is the cure to the virus Niki. And I'm hoping it will work."
Niki nods as Michael injects the blood in the syringe in Niki's shoulder and sees that her pale face suddenly goes back to normal.
Michael smiles and says, "Fantastic! The cure worked!"
"Really?" the young boy said as he saw his mother slowly getting up of bed and said to the Briton, "Thank you Michael…looks like you really saved me this time."
"Yeah well…you can save your thanks for later probably in a love letter," Michael says casually as he receives a glare from Niki and he then adds, "But I do remember you can pummel me into bits so…I suggest you look out for your kid and nephew for now. I'll be in the area if anything wrong happens…and that's it!"
"So you're just leaving?" Niki asks the young man, who smiles at her and runs off faster than the eye can see and leave her, Micah and Monica alone in the room.
"Mom…who was she?" Micah asked his mom.
"He's a friend Micah honey…the same friend who saved me from that explosion," Niki explains to her son as she hugs him and kisses his forehead.
Peter, Steve, Claude and Derrick, A Warehouse in New York
A newly shaved Claude walks out of the bathroom (like the Ninth Doctor look of Christopher Eccleston) and sees Peter and Steve sitting by a table.
"Nice shave and hair cut Claude," Steve remarks to his fellow British as Claude replies at him, "Well I figured out with what's the purpose of the hair if Peter here is going to blow up the whole world?"
"Blow up the whole world?" Peter said defensively, "I painted what I saw okay? But I didn't really see that I would explode or something so stop accusing me of something I won't do."
"For all I care you can just absorb one bloody power that can kill us all!" Claude snaps back at Peter.
Before Peter can respond, Steve stops him, "That's enough! Fighting will only make things worst okay? So let's review what we know…the remnants of Organization XIII is back to hunt us down…and we have a mural here that shows the world is going to be destroyed…so what do you think we should do about that?"
"I'd say we take the fight to them and then die afterwards," Claude suggests in a sing-song way, "In short, I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what to do. You're the doctor's excuse of an empath Steve, why don't you use your psychological skills or…biology knowledge to tell the right answer."
"You're a doctor?" Peter asked Steve, who was about to respond when Claude interrupted again, "Was a doctor! He stopped the same way you stopped in being a hospice nurse, by playing hero. That sounds like coincidence does it…a former doctor and a former nurse who both happened to be empaths..really cute stuff…why don't you two be partners to build a hospital for the special to do some good before we all die?"
"Actually...I'm thinking of continuing to train Peter here," Steve finally says after being in deep thought, "You and Derrick should probably give a shout to the old crowd…seeing you two are active members of Lucky 7 right?"
"I suppose so…but finding the other 5 is going to be a bit hard you know?" Claude informs Steve, who tells him, "I received word from Kira this morning that he would probably arrive here in America tonight. You have a couple of hours before he arrives here. And he still uses his old phone number."
"Fantastic!" Claude says as he gestures Derrick, who is leaning by a wall, to follow him. Claude then looks at Steve and Peter once more before he leaves, "You empaths take care…they might find you in a jiffy."
"You should look after yourself Claude…I have abilities that can help us fend off any agent," Steve tells his friend, who replies, "I'm the invisible man remember? They can't shoot what they can't see."
Claude then grabs Derrick and they suddenly vanish out of Peter's and Steve's sight.
Steve then looks at Peter and says, "You ready to start your real training?"
Peter nods and replies, "Whenever you want to start it, I'm ready."
"Good that's the spirit!" Steve replies as he pushes the table away and stands up and tells Peter, "Now I know that you have some mastery in pulling those files out of that file cabinet of yours…as Claude would term it…I will teach you the finer aspects of being an empath. Just like on how to use different powers at the same time, when to use a certain power at different circumstances and…probably…unlock your full potential, that would be your ultimate weapon against the Organization XIII…and the wrenches that Angela Petrelli might throw in your path."
"Angela…my mother is an enemy?" Peter asks Steve, who nods.
Nathan Petrelli and Angela Petrelli, Petrelli Mansion, New York
"Ma! Ma where are you?" Nathan shouts as he enters the house in search of his mother. He enters the living room to see his mother talking to someone in her cell phone and she closes it.
"What do you need Nathan?" Angela Petrelli asks her son as she puts her phone in her hand bag, "Do you know how much I had to pay to keep your miraculous survival a secret?"
"I appreciate that Ma…but you have to tell me the truth and only the truth is that ok?" Nathan asks his mother.
"If it's about the shooting incident, then you must've easily forgotten that someone from Organization XIII ordered it," Angela Petrelli replied as she walked past Nathan and up to her room, but she stopped when she heard Nathan say, "And that person from Organization XIII…is you."
Angela then goes down the stairs and slaps her son, "How dare you accuse me with such thing!"
"Ma! Don't lie to me! I learned the truth from Bob already..and your actions just confirmed that you are really evil…just like I said so before," Nathan told his mother with his brows almost meeting each other.
"You think I care about that? About being evil as you say so, if you think I care about it then you are just like your weak father," Angela coldly says to Nathan.
"My father was my hero…like I always said so and he is not weak from what I remember," Nathan told his mother in an aggressive way.
Angela laughs at Nathan's statement and says, "Your father maybe strong yes because of his power to manipulate his genes into whatever he wanted that he can do anything that is impossible. Such power to have all abilities in a whim are all but wasted by your father to destroy the same Company he co-founded. So I did what I had to…I asked help from Organization XIII to take care of him seeing he is a threat to what we are doing for the best of interests."
"I can't believe with what you did Ma…you killed your own husband!" Nathan said angrily to his mom, "Now I know who is right and who is wrong…I will end this Organization of yours to stop your plans of letting Sylar release the criminals that would ruin the future."
"I'm afraid you can't leave," Angela says as a blonde woman appears at her back and a white haired man in a purple tuxedo appeared beside the blonde woman, "Not with what you heard…I just can't Nathan. It's time to finish what was started… Kai and Yvvone…kill him."
"With pleasure," Kai says as he releases a bone from his palms that looked like daggers and threw them at Nathan, who levitated himself above the ground to evade the bones. Water from the kitchen suddenly entered the room and began to approach Nathan in mid-air. Nathan then glides around the house and finds a window that he broke and escaped in. Nathan looks back at the house with Yvvone's waters suddenly rushing at him and Nathan flies away with his super sonic flight.
"Damn! He escaped!" Kai cursed as he punched the wall in front of him.
"I'm sorry if I didn't go all out on him," Yvvone says slyly to Angela, who smiles evilly, "It's okay…you've done your roles very well. Now report back to Ryu…and we'll have Sylar kill Bishop in the Hartsdale Base at the day of the attack."
Neil Santiago, New York
Neil appears at the rooftop of the Deveaux Building and looks around his surroundings. Neil suddenly sees a running dark haired Claire in a black outfit in an alley and aims it at a man, who is wearing a black SWAT like uniform without the logos and the vest, but instead a black combat jacket replaces the SWAT vest.
"I've always loved you!" a teary eyed Claire shouts to the man, who turns around and revealed to be Peter Petrelli with a scar at his face. Claire then shoots at Peter for 5 times and sees he made the bullets movement slower than normal in mid-air.
"Really? But love doesn't really matter Claire," Peter says as he let the bullets phase through him and says, "It doesn't matter…once you have the power in your hands."
Peter then telekinetically pushes Claire to a wall and chokes her, "I'd hate to kill your lovely face Claire, there are so many things I want to do to you…but I can't…not if you will ruin my plans."
As Neil sees Peter raise his other hand, he teleports beside Claire and thrusts his hand forward. Peter is then thrown away by an invisible dimensional blast and hits the wall behind him. Claire then falls down, coughing at Neil's side.
"Are you okay?" Neil asks Claire stands up and nods.
"You!" Peter says as he stands up to see Neil and let flames appear in his hands, "How dare you interfere!"
"I don't know how you got here…or what made you like that Peter, but I'm leaving," Neil said as he grabbed Claire and opened a portal behind him and dragged Claire with him to go inside it. At the same time, Peter thrust his flaming hands that a fiery blasts headed to enter the portal, which closed as Claire entered it.
"What the??" Peter shouted as his hands began to glow. Peter then closed his eyes and took a deep breathe and his hands color returned to normal. The scarred Peter then walks away in disappointment, while putting a grey cap on his head.
Neil and Dark Haired Claire, Somewhere Unknown
As Neil and Claire went into the portal, the entered a place wherein the place looked like a resort. Neil then let go of Claire's arm and said, "Why are you here? I thought that you are with West when I saved you a couple of hours earlier…and did Peter meet your mother already to gain pyrokinesis? And how in the world you have dark brown hair when it was dark brown earlier?"
"I'm sorry if I confused you Neil…but you see…I'm from the future," Claire explained to Neil, who is surprised, "You came from the future I came from…that's impossible unless…you came from the future from this timeline…"
"Well…if you want it to put it that way…then it's a yes Neil," Claire said awkwardly as Neil was a loss for words.
"I…failed?" Neil asked to himself.
"I'm afraid you did," Claire answered Neil's question.
With the Organization XIII on the move, what would our Heroes do in order to stop them?
Will Sylar join forces with Angela Petrelli?
What will Parkman and Maarten do when they discover West is dead?
Will Noah, Claire and the Bennett family go to safety in Michael's safehouse?
What will happen to Hiro, Hirohito, and Kira as they arrive in America and probably meet Claude?
What will happen to Peter's training?
And finally, what happened in the future so wrong that Neil was said to have failed and Peter is acting villainous?
All of these will be answered in the future episodes of Heroes.
Sneak Peek to a "Future Chapter"
"Who are you?" a confused Peter asks to the person who looks just like him only having a scar in his face.
"I am you Peter," the Future Peter replied simply, "And you must listen to me…if we are to change the fate of the world."
