Chapter 1: 1 year later
"are you sure that's him? It can't be" triplicate girl stared at the monitor, along with other legionnaires.
"he…he looks very similar…" added shrinking violet, who was standing on the middle of the room showing the presentation along with cosmic boy
"I told you guys something on him changed that day, but no one believe me" lighting lad crossed his arms
"I guess…we all wanted him back, I just can't believe… I…I miss him" said chameleon boy, staring at the floor
"although it has or has not been him, we need to stop this" cosmic boy gained the stare of all his teammates. He pointed at the screen, the image of th blurry android changing to a photo showing about 50 planets outlined with red.
"for the past 12 months, that thing has being visiting each planet of the united planets, stealing some of their information and making, both heroes and villains of the planets disappear, some of them at least. well…we…we haven't been allowed to enter the case, but we need to be prepared in case they come here, tell them violet" the lieder of the team gave the controller to violet.
shaking her head and taking a deep breath, violet went to the spot were cosmic boy jut spoke.
"well…you see, I managed to realize that, well… it follows some kind of patron, so I did some calculations, it's probably going to strike here next. I know we aren't allowed on the case but…"
bouncing boy stood up and frowned, interrupted the girl's speech
"guys we aren't the team we were a year ago, they no longer take us seriously! How can we get on the case they forbid us to get in without risking the united planets no longer maintaining us?"
all continued to stare at the floor with no words
"we…we need him…we need brainy" the cubby legionnaire walked away from the room
"it's been a year since he left, he cut all communication … plus he didn't say goodbye, we can just give up on an entire team just because of one legionnaire!" ligting lad stood
cosmic boy glazed at violet before returning his sight to his team.
"pluss…as much as I want to believe brainy is innocent, he looks really alike that thing on the picture. We can't just sit and wait for him to return"
lighting lad then raised the tone of his voice "We need to keep fighting, if they don't want to take us seriously…we'll make them see"
some of the legionnaires stood up and applauded in approval.
Violet stood silent with his eyes down
"You did a great job" cosmic boy placed his hand on her shoulder, they both smiled.
They were both interrupted when the emergency alarm went off.
"computo, report!" violet stared at the monitor as it started to show some of the security tapes.
"unknown object is approaching the entrance"
"isn't that…the thing from the picture?" violet said softly
"unknown object blasted a beam towards the quarters entrance, it will hit in 5 seconds"
BAM!
A huge explosion was heard. all the team headed to the place that was just blasted into pieces.
Saturn girl tried to us her mind powers to locate the person that just send the beam, with no success.
"show yourself!" colossal boy screamed and grew on size, trying to have a better look.
Above them , a flying black figure appeared, not very visible because of the smoke.
"as you wish" the figure then looked a bit more clear, he had yellow eyes, red shining circles all over his body, and the brainiac insignia.
"he is the figure! The one from the pictures!" violet asked, the android chuckled.
"brainiac! so you were the one behind this!" cosmic boy glared
"Where is your pathetic friend?" brainiac kept his tone emotionless, he tightened his grip.
" who…brainy?" cham asked, looking around the others.
"Where is him! Answer or be destroyed". he raised his tone, but was still emotionless.
"we don't know, and even if we did, we wouldn't tell you" bouncy was on his fighting stance.
"fine them, you shall be terminated" with his hand, brainiac started to make a huge blue beam, before any could react the beam blasted toward were they stood, but before it hit, a blur jumped of the ceiling landing just in front of them. All around them turned pink (I recommend hearing 'we own the night, by tiesto. It's what inspired me, awesome song)
Everyone covered their eyes for the huge cloud of smoke around them, when they looked up, before them was a cloaked figure making the huge force field.
"I knew you would come to try and save your little friends" brainiac smiled evilly at the figure.
This one removed the hood of the cloak, reveling a green blond haired teen.
"brainy!" cham was the first to shout with joy.
"its…its good to see you too guys" his voice was soft and scratchy
before they could meet back their friend another beam was send towards them, brainy quickly making his shield again. He then ran towards brainiac, sending some small beams from a weapon he had on his arm.
After the smoke that the this blasts produced cleared, it raveled brainiac standing there without a scratch, removing the dust from his body.
Brainiac looked up and shoot an energy blast towards brainy's arm. The teen's arm got hit, it was bleeding, he tensed with pain.
"ah, but you are as weak as ever" the mad android pointed the bigger weapon towards brainy.
"now, surrender and come with me, or I'll just kill your friends" brainiac pointed at the legionnaires, who glared at him.
Brainiac was confused when he saw the teen was smiling at him.
"now!" he screamed
Then, behind brainiac a white monkey appeared, throwing himself towards the android, screeching. Moving fast around it's body and finally smashing the weapon his arm with a rock until it was jammed.
The monkey jumped to the ceiling before brainiac could catch him.
Clutching his hands into fists brainiac tried to attack brainy bare handed, but took several shoots from brainy's weapon before he could even get close to him..
Brainiac stopped in mid air, and glared at him. "we'll meet again sooner than you expect"
brainy lowed his guard and brainiac disappeared.
The white monkey jumped into brainy's sholder and he patted his head.
Brainy looked down, ashamed to look at his friends, he turned around and removed his cloak.
"hey…" was all that came from his mouth, his voice still scratchy
he wanted to ran away, maybe they were still mad at him, after all, what he did was…unforgivable.
When he had the courage to look up, he felt happy and relieved. Must of them were still in shock, some crying from happiness. Before anyone could say anything, shrinking violet ran towards him and hugged him tight.
He blushed at the contact, awkwardly returning the hug. The monkey protesting at this, trying to make this two separate.
"I missed you, where the heck were you!" violet took a step back, looking at the teen.
It has only been a year, but they barely had time to contemplate the new brainy, the human brainy.
His hair was slightly longer and a bit messy; his muscles were a bit more defined. He was also slightly taller. He had some king of white tape on his cheeks, 3 white circles on his forehead. He had black marks on his arms an legs, some he had when he was still an android.
"I am sorry, I wasn't planning to stay that long but…ugh" brainy flitched on pain, closing his eyes for a second. Holding his hurt arm with the other.
"are you hurt?" triplicate girl looked at brainy.
He was dirty, he had several wounds, and most of them were a few days old. And he had a big one on his arm, the skin was darker and it had blood.
'It must have been caused by the blast brainiac gave him" Saturn girl suggested
"we need to take him to med-bay, now." Violet said, worried.
Helping brainy walk, timber wolf and colossal boy followed Saturn girl and shrinking violet towards med-bay.
"I'll…I'll be fine" brainy felt his consciousness slip away, as all around him started to fade black.
all became pitched black, he was inside a room with no light. There was nothing inside.
"hello?" brainy called
he heard from the distance a giggle, one of a small child.
"is there somebody here? I am not going to hut you"
he then heard the giggle again
"ha…hahah…you are silly" the voice seemed far away and blurry
before he could answer he heard another voice.
"I am serious, where are we?" the voice sounded like his own, when he was little, blurry as well
"I dunno, but it seems we are the only ones around here" he female voice then giggled again.
"hello?" brainy called again, he had no answer.
"it seems so…" the male voice seemed concerned
"no matter, it will be better here than where we come from" the famle voice started to sound more blurry"
"but….m…fath…I …help…h..m?" it was barely understandable, the voices continue to talk, but brainy couldn't get a word out of it.
The pitch black room started to fade, replaced by white lights.
Brainy opened his eyes, blinking several time to get use to the light, he was on mid-bay, violet and cham were sleeping on the sofa beside the bed. Koko, his white space monkey was sleeping beside him.
He then smiled, he was back, with his family…
