New Age of Heroes
Chapter 6 – Ruby Heart's call
Ever since the Sabretooth incident a few hours ago, securities have been very tight. There are police patrols everywhere, and superheroes hiding in the shadows waiting for any sign of enemies' assault. Roll Light walked on the busy city street still not sure where to go next on her fighter's journey. She missed Cammy already and wished she tagged along with her for a few more hours. She stopped walking when she saw a book store on her right side. She looked at the store for a few second before she finally decided to walk in. Roll came back out minutes later with a map, a map of the country. She opened the map searching for a location off course of the city. She's really into this, she searched around like there's no tomorrow. But of course with many people on the street bumping to her, it's hard to concentrate.
"Hey watch it!" Roll heard a man complained.
"Don't stand in the middle of the road!" she heard from another.
"Move it bitch!" a rude one called out.
Roll had enough of the complaints she kept receiving. She moved away from the street and walked into a dark corner alleyway, no one would see her there. She tapped the heel on her boots together twice and flew up on the sky (A/N – refer to ch 1 part B, if you forgot). She looked down onto her birds eye view f the city, there are lots of people there but none seems to care about Roll. She knew about that, nowadays heroes and villains live among the people like citizens. Roll took a last view of the city before she smirked and flew away. She opened the map while flying and continued her search before she was rudely interrupted.
Let's see now which mountains Dhalsim lives in?
While Roll was too busy looking at the map searching for Dhalsim's mountain, she didn't know that somewhere in the ocean located in Roll's map lied a giant pirate ship. And the plot lied within the pirate ship will change her life and everyone else's life forever.
Somewhere in the ocean
A giant pirate ship flow by, its pirate flag hung up proudly on the mast representing its pride as a pirate who sailed the sea. The pirate ship is massive, strangely for its enormous size no sign of the pirate crew are detected on the ship. The crew must've decided to stay indoor, the captain herself is also inside her cabin room. Inside the captain's room itself is not an ordinary room, especially for a pirate. There inside the captain's room, pirate captain Ruby Heart sat on her comfortable chair watching numeral sets of mini television screens lined up in an orderly manner. There are 54 of them in total, in fact 2 of them are not turned on. In each of the mini screen shows a certain character going on their daily life routine. Ruby Heart watched them all in silence pondering on the life of the characters on the screen.
Interesting people we 'ave at this new age.
Slowly the door of the captain's room is turned open. Ruby noticed it, she didn't turn around or look back. She sat down and waited till her intruders start something.
"Interesting base you have here Ruby," said one of the intruder. Ruby shifted her eyeballs towards the right, she knew that voice. "I am surprise myself to find that you're one of those people who spied on other people's privacy," the same person continued on.
"It is for research," Ruby replied, she bears a strong French accent. "You should know this more than anybody else, Captain Commando."
Captain Commando smirked at Ruby's reply. He stood there arm-crossed on his chest. His red sunglasses shined from the deep darkness in room. "Anyhow, it is good to see you again," Captain Commando brightened up. "I missed you, Ruby." Ruby stood up from her chair and turned around facing her old friend once more.
"And I missed you too, mon ami," replied Ruby. She smiled at him, and he smiled back. Ruby looked away from Captain Commando when someone else inside the room caught her eye. The other person who entered along with Captain Commando looked at Ruby with a stern look. The person never quite looked like someone who can get along with other people easily, nor someone who talked a lot.
"It is also good to see you too Ryu," Ruby said to the other intruder. "It is an 'onor that you are finally able to join us once more." Ryu nodded in a respective manner. He is a much built man who is dressed in white. The red headband that he tied up on his head signified the only thing from his clothing that did not match his white outfit.
"Why did you call us Ruby?" Ryu asked the female pirate.
"Ahh yes now let's get to business shall we," Ruby answered. She sat back down on her chair and motioned her two friends to come closer. They both did so and sat down on the two provided guest chairs.
"I suppose you all 'ave 'eard about the great evil called, Abyss," Ruby started. The name struck onto Ryu and Captain Commando hard. At first they look shocked upon hearing the subject's name, but soon they erode off their face. Ruby read their face carefully when she mentioned Abyss, she knew what their faces are telling her. "It seems that 'is seal 'as gone weaker as we speak," Ruby continued. "It won't be long until The Great Evil Abyss rise once more."
"Than what is it must be done?" Ryu asked calmly. "The three of us won't be strong enough to defeat The Great Evil himself."
"I know," replied Ruby. "That is why I 'ave been viewing these people to 'elp us to rid this Great Evil." Ruby showed her two friends the small monitors she had been watching. The monitors showed the people that Ruby was referring to and the ones she had been watching. Captain Commando and Ryu took a look at all of the people on each of the mini monitors. Some of them are familiar to Ryu, none to Captain Commando.
"Who are these people?" Captain Commando asked Ruby.
"These are powerful fighters across the globe," Ruby answered. "One of these 'eroes will surely defeat Abyss once more."
"Wait!" Captain Commando stood up from his chair. "Are you saying that one of these people will be the one who followed their footsteps?" Ryu looked towards Ruby waiting for answers from her, Captain Commando too. Ruby stood up and faced the monitors avoiding eye contacts with Captain Commando.
"We are in the new age of 'eroes, Captain Commando," said Ruby. "Surely some of these people will follow the footsteps of the legendary 'eroes who sealed Abyss in the first place."
"How do we know which one is the powerful one?" Ryu asked curiously.
Ruby smiled. This is the question she has been waiting to answer. Ruby turned around facing her friends once more. "I am very glad you asked that mon ami," said Ruby. "This is where I come into the scene."
Captain Commando looked at her questioningly. He doesn't seem to understand what role Ruby will play in this, but yet he's curious to find out. Ryu sat down calmly; he's awfully calm in this situation. But yet he is also curious at Ruby's plan. "What are you planning?" Ryu asked.
Ruby smiled at the warrior. "You'll see mon ami, you'll see soon enough," she said slowly. She walked towards the microphone on her table and picked it up. She turned it on and spoke into it. "Men, it is time! Bring in the new age of 'eroes!"
Down below under Ruby's room, another room revealed itself as the computer room. This was where Ruby signaled her voice to. As the men received her signal they began to work on their technologies. A few of those men began to type the coordinator on their computer. The signal from such technology was brought up onto the satellite high up on space, just right above the Earth. The satellite bears a pirate symbol, Ruby's symbol of her ownership. The satellite received the coordinates the men from Ruby's ship had sent. It moved towards its target and took aim. The machine fired a swift and invisible lightning speed ray; the machine hits its target and the target disappeared.
Back in Captain Ruby's room, Captain Commando caught a sight on one of the mini television. He witnessed a man disappeared when a lightning speed ray came in contact with him. Most people will have not witnessed the ray itself, but for someone as powerful as Captain Commando, that's a different story.
"Ruby, that man, he just…" Captain Commando informed Ruby about the ray. Ryu held his arm out interrupting the captain's talk.
"This is part of her plan," he said. Ruby nodded to Ryu, he knew it all along.
"Merci, Ryu," Ruby thanked Ryu. She turned to Captain Commando too. "Now I believe it is finally time for us to meet the new 'eroes." She walked away from her table passed her two friends and opened her door. "Come mes amies, they'll be 'ere soon. We 'ave to greet them." With her last words she walked out of her room, her two friends looked at each other before they follow her out of the door. Ruby walked down on her ship's deck along with Ryu and Captain Commando trailing behind her. She walked pass the ship's mast and climbed up to the second floor deck standing by the rail. Her two friends followed her and stood by her side. The first floor ship deck is quite large indeed, many people can fit on this deck roughly around 60 people.
"I see, so they're coming here," commented Ryu.
"I hope none of them will have sea sick," joked Captain Commando. "I don't want any of them throwing up in the middle of Ruby's speech."
"Silence all of you!" Ruby called out harshly. "They are coming!" Ruby stood and waited as her satellite picked up and transport all the necessary heroes she has chosen. She closed her eyes and lost in thoughts.
Oh noble 'eroes of the new age.
A young woman dressed up in a police outfit is shooting the walking un-dead. She's suddenly disappeared when a white ray shot her.
I 'ave chosen you for a mission.
A man wearing a ruby quartz visor fired a ruby colored beam from his eye. Behind him there are two women flying, one is dressed in white while the other one is in green. Ruby's ray picked the three heroes and soon they left the screen.
To use your sense of justice.
A bald Indian man floats in a meditative stance. He's deep in meditation when the ray suddenly picked him up.
And your ability.
An elderly white haired man put on his red helmet. He turned around and walked down, his purple cape flow behind him every steps he took. He looked up just in time when a white ray hit him.
To defeat the ultimate evil.
A young man dressed in a red and blue jumpsuit landed on the roof of a building. He crouched down and looked at the view of the city when another being landed behind him. The young hero turned around to meet a strange human/monster being in blue-colored substances. The monster's tongue came out from his mouth, green drool dropped from the tip of its tongue. The young man prepared himself for the worst when he suddenly felt a sudden sense tingling him. He looked up away from the monster to witness a white ray coming towards him.
The world is…
A man clothed in green robe sat down in his special chair, his metallic armor that covered his body and face shine brightly. His mouth curved to a smile as he sense Ruby's ray collide with him.
Depending on you.
A young woman dressed in traditional Chinese dress kicked a muscular man set in a dark alleyway. She looked behind her, there are a few more men all dressed in non-formal clothing carrying a weapon like pipes and chains. She prepared herself for battle until Ruby's ray picked her up and fled her off screen.
Now come forth.
A young blonde woman is flying on air unaware that the satellite has finally decided to pick her. The young girl is analyzing a map of the country, her finger trailed from mountains to mountains. She looked up from the map when a white ray shines her eye.
Ruby Heart opened her eyes when she has finished reading up her thoughts of the new age of heroes. And as she predicted, the ship's deck is now filled with the people she wanted to meet.
"Let the game begin," she whispered to herself.
