Summertime Bar, Friday, 04:27

Nate Estevez was lying in his bed staring at the ceiling thinking about all the decisions he had made the last couple of months. He thought about meeting Shawn, taking Rush, betraying his brother, aligning himself with Savage and finally learning he had stage four cancer. Nate let out a huge sigh and got up from his bed, he packed the few possessions he had along with the last three vials of Rush in a bag and left the bar.

The Compound, 07:32

The N-Men had gathered at their base for some early morning training. Sheen was in a new room called the speed lab, a large race track based room testing the limits of his speed. Sheen ran hundreds of laps around the field. He felt the energy build up in his body. He felt like he was about to hit a wall. The build up in energy disoriented Sheen and caused him to trip on his own feet and tumble out of control through a wall. AJ, who was observing Sheen, ran to his aid. "Sheen are you okay!? You were doing great a second ago." The cyborg asked concerned. "I just passed out for a second." Sheen groaned as he recovered. "I forgot to eat breakfast this morning. Maybe that was the cause." Sheen said not very convincingly. "Maybe." AJ said not believing him. "How did I do?" Sheen asked, changing the subject. "Well before you fell on your face you obliterated your old record. In fact a few more seconds you probably would have reached light speed." The speedster rushed to look at the data. "Seriously?" Sheen gleefully asked. "Totally." AJ replied. "Never argue with the data. I guess." Sheen said jokingly. "Now let's get to the kitchen and recharge your batteries." AJ said, throwing an arm around Sheen. "Sure."

In another room Carl was target practicing with Jamey. "Alright Carl, you know the drill." Jamey said. "Right." Carl replied. Jamey brought out the targets, Carl fired his sound blasts but no sound erupted from him and instantly destroyed the targets. "Carl! How did you do that!?" Jamey asked, surprised. "It's kinda hard to explain. I wanted to reduce the amount of collateral damage I caused with my powers, so I came up with a new move. When I fire a sound blast now I just send out the vibrational burst and absorb the actual noise into myself. So I can use my powers at their full potential without shattering someone's eardrum. I hope that makes sense." Jamey always knew Carl wasn't living up to his full potencial growing up, but ever since getting his powers he has gone leaps and bounds that what he thought himself possible and was now surprising Jamey who already thought highly of him. "Whoa Carl, you're kinda getting scary with how good you're getting." Jamey commented. "Uh, thanks." Carl replied feeling a little bashful at his sister's compliment. "I think that's enough training for today, clearly I've got nothing left to teach you." Jamey said while walking Carl out of the training room. "So Jamey can Libby and I get the night off, there's this dance…" Jamey held up her hand. "Say no more Carl, have fun with Elky." Carl blush at the mention of his girlfriend still being shocked at times that he even has one. "Thanks." Carl and Jamey then stepped into a hallway. "So what's been going on between you and Sid lately." Carl asked teasingly toward his sister. "Nothing. We're just hanging out more." Jamey responded quickly trying to hide her blush. "Come on. Every time you two get together your hearts are practically bursting out of your chests." Jamey wanted to hide in her hands. "You're crazy man. They do not." Jamey said, trying to deny her brother. "Yeah they do remember I can hear them." Jamey was feverishly blushing at the thought that she felt her obvious crush being put on display like that. "Enough about me, have you and Elky finally sealed the deal yet?" Jamey figured if her brother was going to play dirty and embarrass her she could do the same. "What do you mean?" Carl asked. "Have you two lovebirds had sex yet?" Jamey asked way more upfront. Carl began to blush. "I, uh well you see…" Jamey giggles at her brother's awkwardness. "So I'm taking that as a no. Have you guys even talked about it yet." Carl tried to make an excuse. "We've both been really busy. I've been busy with N-Men stuff and she's been busy with trying to be a sorceress."

"So no you haven't talked about it. Why not you're both clearly into each other." Carl hesitated for a moment before giving her an answer. "It's just that… I still feel like one day she'll come to her senses and leave me for someone who really deserves her." Jamey stopped what she was doing and turned to fully face her brother. "What are you talking about?" Jamey was actually confused. "Jamey, I'm not delusional. I have a very niche personality and I'm not exactly any girl's ideal type and…" Jamey instantly slapped Carl. "Oww." Carl rubbed his cheek. "Why did you do that!?" Jamey then threatingly pointed at Carl. "I'm not going to let you disrespect my best friend like that. Carl Wheezer is awesome, no one talks trash about him in front of me. Ok you're my brother, but any girl would be more than lucky to be with you and Elky sees that!" Carl smiled at his sister. "Sorry. Look, it's not that I haven't thought about it. There's never been a right moment to bring it up okay." Jamey just gave her brother a reassuring side hug. "Dude there's no such thing as the right "moment"." Jamey said using air quotes. "You have to make the moment. Better if you did some big romantic gesture." Carl thought about it for a moment. "Well, Libby has been helping me write a song for her." Carl suggested. "There you go. It's a prom night." Jamey said excitedly. "Actually it's a Winter Formal." Carl corrected Jamey. "Whatever. Love is going to be in the air, you'll be serenading Elky with your beautiful music, you sing a really touching song to her, boom. You guys, we'll be ready to take your relationship to the next level." Carl laughed at his sister's way of frazing. "You'd think the smartest woman alive wouldn't simplify things."

"Technically I'm the fifth smartest person on the planet. And I'm not simplifying things. If there was ever a physical description for love it would be you two. Most people base their relationships on superficial things like lust or give and take, things that will eventually burn out one way or the other. What makes you and Elky so special is that above all you're both comfortable around each other. You can act like 100% yourself with no expectations. And to tell you the truth, I'm a bit jealous of you. So get out of your own head and get that girl." Carl nodded towards his sister. "I'll think about it. You know it's weird that I'm talking about this with my sister right?" Jamey laughed at that. "Maybe, but you're my best friend and I hope that you would feel comfortable enough to come talk to me about these things. I only want the best for you." Carl hugged his sister. "Thanks." The two siblings walked off to get ready for the day's next events.

In Brett's lab Libby and Brett were talking while having coffee. "Shouldn't you be training?" Brett asked as he took a sip of coffee. "I think I'm good." Libby boasted while she drank her coffee. "Come on, there's always room for improvement." Brett said "Really." Libby scoffed, Libby without even trying made the entire room invisible, she then formed a force field in the shape of a saw, she made it spin at an incredible speed and used it to shorten the length of Brett's hair from shoulder length to neck length. Libby then showed Brett how she looked on his phone. "Like the new look." Libby said coily. "Love it but don't ever cut my hair without my permission again." He pointed threatingly. "Noted. Still think I need practice?" Brett just laughed at the girl's antics. "No, you seem to have things under control." Libby picked up her backpack. "I better get going or I'll be late for school." Brett stood up. "I'll walk you out." Brett and Libby went to the command center of the compound where the others were waiting for them. "Took you long enough." Sheen commented. "You don't rush a good cup of coffee." Libby replied. Elky walked into the room. "Hey Elk." Carl greeted her as he went in to hug his girlfriend. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be training with Timmy?" Elky just gave a frustrated sigh. "He didn't show up. I thought maybe he was busy here."

"He's not here." AJ said. "Now that you mention it Sid didn't show up for morning training. He usually calls if he can't make it." Libby commented. "I wonder why he didn't call?" Carl asked. "If I have to be here at 6am, so does Sid." Libby complained. "But you didn't even do anything." Brett mumbled. "I got a text from him last night. He said a distant relative from Canada got sick and Timmy took him and his mom there. He also said not to call, there's no reception where he is." Jamey explained. Everyone just gave each other subtle looks between one another that the girl genius missed at the fact that Sid had only texted Jamey last night. "Well if that's that we better get going." Sheen said. Everyone began to leave, Carl pulled Elky aside. "Elky, I'm sorry but I won't be able to pick you up for the dance. Your school wants us there two hours early." Elky just smiled at her boyfriend. "No problem Carl. We'll have plenty of time at the dance. And I think you meant I won't be able to pick you up. Since you still don't know how to drive." Elky joked. "I'll get my license… Eventually." Carl playfully replied. "Until then I guess I'll just slave away being your chauffeur." Elky said with a dramatic flair. "You're so ridiculous." Carl laughed. Jamey got her backpack. "I hope you two won't spend the day binge watching Jet Flix." Brett gave Jamey an annoyed look. "We're not kids Jamey." Brett said. "We are two of the most intelligent people on the planet." AJ added. "We'll think of ways to keep ourselves busy while you're out." Brett said. "Okay." Jamey said as she walked out. "So what do you want to do?" Brett asked. "Wanna binge watch something on Entertainment?" AJ suggested with a laugh because it was basically the same thing as binging Jet Flix. "Sure why not." Brett as he shrugged his shoulders. "But I'm picking the first movie."

Retroville Forest, 08:45

Timmy, Sid, and Savage were in the middle of the forest. Timmy was pouring ingredients into a cauldron. "Wolf fang, deer hoof shavings, pelican urine." Sid looked down at the supplies and back at his brother. "Why do you have all this stuff?" Timmy looked up at Sid. "For potions." Timmy replied. "How much longer is this going to take?" Savage asked. "You want to find a lost temple then you'll have to wait for me to finish my spell." Timmy snapped at Savage. "Just a few more ingredients. Wolverine sperm." That drew a commitment from Sid. "How did you even get that?" Sid asked. "You don't want to know." Timmy replied. "Baby tears, the spit of a damned man." He said, gesturing to Savage who rolled his eyes and spat in the pot. "The hair of a virgin." Both Savage and Timmy looked at Sid. "What?" He asked. They just kept staring at him. "Aghh, fine." He finally succumbed, pulling out a strand of his hair and throwing it into the pot. "That's my boy." Savage commented. "Shut up." Sid replied. "Okay everything's ready." Timmy said as he placed his hands in a prayer possession and began to channel his energy. His eyes glowed pink and he began to chant the spell. "Haka, Zu Natu, Ghoru Omi!" The potion inside the pot began to change color from blue to gold. The liquid began to levitate out of the pot and into the air swirling transforming into a portal. "There's your way to the temple." Timmy said as he glared at Savage. "For obvious reasons, I think you should go first." Savage replied. "Fine." Timmy replied as he stepped through the portal. Sid followed behind him. Savage then stepped through the portal. When Savage stepped out of the other side he fell into a pool of mud when he got up he looked at his two children levitating off the ground. "Watch your step Dad." Timmy chuckled. "Yeah, it can be a messy fall." Sid jested. Savage wiped the mud off of his face. "In all fairness I might have deserved that but no more funny business if you want to see Susan alive again. Now help your old man up." Sid and Timmy looked at each other. Timmy then used his telekinetic powers to lift Savage off of the ground and into dry land. "That's my boy." Savage said while dusting himself off. "Now where is the temple?" He asked. "We're going to have to walk the rest of the way." Timmy explained. "You couldn't take us there directly?" Savage asked. "Magic isn't perfect, especially when you're trying to find a lost temple." Timmy replied. "Very well. Lead the way." Timmy started walking as Sid kept pass with his brother while Savage trugde behind.

Even though he was an evil psychopath he was still intrested in his sons' lives. "So what were the two of you talking about when you had endered the house?" Savage asked seemingly out of nowhere as he was still trying to get the grime off of him from the fall. Sid nearly froze in his tracks before turning to his father. "Let's get one thing straight. You lost any right to ask about my day to have any sort of real conversation since the day I found out who you really were, do you understand?" Sid said threatingly. But Savage just ignored his youngest child. "Well I guess it was about some sort of girl. So who is she?" Sid just blushed and turned back around grumbling to himself as he caught back up with Timmy. "Is it Jamey?" Savage called out actually enjoying getting a reaction from Sid. Timmy just stopped in his tracks and looked at his brother who was so red from both embarrassment and anger. But Savage continued. "I knew you had a crush on her. Honestly did not know why you dated that Nick girl. And I understand the attraction to Jamey. I felt the same at some point, remember." Savage said mockingly. Forcing Sid to draw back on the disgusting memory of what his father had done to Jamey. Forcing her to kiss him. Hearing how he creeped on her. An overwhelming protectiveness just fueled inside of Sid's chest as Timmy stood there reeling from this new information. "Jamey and father were together?" Timmy asked, confused. "NO!" Sid snapped back, not wanting for a moment to let Jamey's name be dragged in the mud like that. Timmy finally understood what his father meant then and felt bad for Jamey for what all Savage had put her through. Sid then turned to his father. "You do not get to say her name. Not after all that you've done to her. You leave her out of any of this. I won't be talking about her with you." Sid said threatingly even angrier than before. All Savage did was raise his hands in a mock defense. The three then continued to walk in silence.

Royalty Prep, 09:34

Elky was in the hallway of her school in front of her locker taking some of her text books out. From the distance Maya, one of Elky's friends, was building up her courage to do something big. "Okay Maya, just breathe. Elky's different from all the other shrills that go here. She's fun and exciting. We'll make a perfect match. It's time to make your move." While Elky was still taking some books out Sloane walked up to her while listening to some music on her headphones. "Hey J-Bird." Sloane greeted Elky. "Hey Sloane, what'cha listening to?" She smiled excitingly at her friend. "This new band that just came out of nowhere." Elky was surprised. "Really. What's their name?" Sloane quickly looked down at her phone. "Oh it's…" Before Sloane could finish Maya stepped up to the duo. "Hey Maya." Elky greeted her. "Hey girl." Sloane greeted her. Maya with a nervous expression on her face looked at Elky. "Hey Elky can I talk to you?" Elky turned to the other girl. "Sure." Maya then looked at Sloane "In private." Maya added. Sloane got the message, put her headphones back on and turned away from the pair. "Has anyone from school asked you to the dance yet?" Maya asked. "No but…" Elky tried to answer. "Good." Maya interrupted her. "I know we're friends but we always have a blast when we're together so I was wondering if maybe you and I could go together." Elky was a little surprised by Maya's confession. "Maya… Uh, that's uhm… Really flattering but." Maya interrupted Elky. "I know this is sudden." Maya said as she grabbed Elky's hands. "But I know the two of us could be magical together." Elky ript the bandaid off. "Maya I already have a date." Maya felt her whole world come crashing down. "But you just said…" Elky tried to explain. "I said no one from Royalty Prep asked me. I didn't say I didn't have a date." Maya's heart sank and she was visibly distraught. "That's… That's great. So is it someone we know."

"Yeah, Carl Wheezer." It took a minute for that name to click in Maya's brain. "Wait, as in Carl Wheezer, that loser we had you go out with a year ago." Elky nodded. "The very same. And don't call him a loser." Maya laughed. "Elky, you can't be serious!" Elky looked at her very serious. "I am and get this Carl's band Sonic Boom's playing at the dance tonight." Elky said excitingly. "Wait, Carl is the lead singer of Sonic Boom!" Sloane beamed. "I'm so jealous." Maya looked at the other girl. "Seriously Sloane he's that friendless freak from the hospital!" Maya complained. "Well he's clearly made some big changes. His band's last video Play It Loud got seven million views in two days. I wouldn't be shocked if they're offered a record deal soon. Congrats J-Bird, you're dating a real genuine rock star." Elky blushed. "Thanks." Elky replied. "How can you just accept this?!" Maya cried. "He's… He's…" But Sloane interrupted her. "Maya, we're not 15 anymore. Carl seems like a cool guy, he's got an awesome voice and Elky seems happy." Elky nodded "I really am." Elky smiled. "I can't believe what I'm hearing! How could that fat piece of…" Elky looked angrly at Maya. "Look Maya, I'm going to chalk this over as a reaction to shock but don't insult my boyfriend in front of me again or this friendship is over. Are we clear." Maya let out a frustrated cry and left her friends. "Wow J-Bird you stood up to Maya. You've never done that before. Maybe dating this Carl dude has been good for you."

"You think." Elky asked sincerely. "Yeah, you've been so much more confident lately and you're not afraid to give your opinion, it's like I'm watching a whole new Elky." Elky let out a breath she did not know she had been holding. "Well you took the news way better than I thought." Sloane placed a hand on Elky's shoulder. "Like I told Maya J, we're not kids anymore you should be able to hang out or date whoever you want it doesn't matter what other people think." Elky was taken back for a second at her friend's wise words. "What brought on the change of heart." Elky asked curiously. "This guy I met a few weeks back. His name's Nick, he's really cool." Elky smiled at the other girl. "I'm so happy for you Sloane." Sloane hugged her friend. "And I'm happy for you J-Bird, now enough of the mushy stuff let's head to class." Elky giggled. "Sure." Elky replied as she shut her locker. Maya ran into a restroom, her make up was smudged from the rage induced tears. She ran to the sink to clean herself off. "I can't believe this is happening. How did that fat piece of shit trick Elky into dating him." She said to herself. Maya panted vigorously while she stared at herself in the mirror. In a fit of rage she let out a powerful sonic scream that shattered all the mirrors and destroyed the sink she was leaning on. "I'm not going to stand for this." She said with a fierce look of determination on her face.

The Lost Temple, 11:00

After traveling through the jungle for hours Savage looked on ahead and let out a smile. Sid and Timmy did the same and saw the massive temple in front of them. "Welcome to the lost temple of Surnage." He said with a big smile. "Let's get this over with." Sid growled. The group made their way up the stairs. "Savage I must ask why did you want our help? Remy could've performed that spell." Savage chuckled. "You give that boy far too much credit son. Despite his luster the boy is barely better than a novice. You are a master. I need your experience." Sid then turned to the ancient man. "And what about me?" Sid asked. "Your clone's cellular degeneration is getting worse everyday. Before he could last almost 8 hours before he needed to be podded. Now it's less than three and I need something far more reliable right now." Before they could enter the temple the trio found themselves surrounded by dozens of the indigenous people of the region armed with spears. One of them spoke in an unintelligible dialect. "What are they saying?" Sid asked. "Basically, get off of our land or be killed." Timmy answered. Savage let out a small smirk. "Guess it's time to get to business." His two sons stopped him. "That wasn't part of the deal, Savage. We're not killing anyone for you." Sid stated. Savage's body began to emit a glow. "No need my boy. You see I've barely gotten a chance to use these new abilities." Savage transformed into his black silhouette form. "Now's a time as good as any to test them out." Sid found himself slightly trembling at the presence of Savage, Timmy let up his guard. The indigenous people took a step back before they regained their composure. "Now which of you will be my first victim." Savage screamed as his finger tips began to glow, he fired multiple head shots at many of the warriors killing them instantly. "We have to stop him." Sid exclaimed as prepared to fight Savage. Timmy stopped him. "What are you doing!?" He yelled. "Sid, I'm going to lay this down straight. If you try to stop him, you'll never see your mother again."

Although it fought against his instincts Sid decided to leave Savage to massacre the warriors. Savage gave himself claws and tore through the warriors like they were sheets of paper. One by one he slaughtered all of them, enjoying every second of the ordeal taking glee in their screams of pain. When it was finally over Savage changed back into his normal self and wiped the blood of his victims off of his face. "That was fun. Shall we enter the temple." He asked his children as he walked into the temple. "You're a psychopath." Sid stated. "Thank you dear compliments like that are the only thing getting me through the day. Now let's get moving." The duo looked on at the carnage their father had caused and sadly followed him into the temple. "It's time for you to do your job my dear." Savage said to Sid. "What are you talking about?" Timmy asked. "Look at the walls." Savage replied. Timmy stared carefully and noticed the ruins on the walls. "Anti Magic Symbols." Sid was the only one confused by this. "No spell can be cast. That's why I brought the world's strongest man to help through the temple's treacherous traps." Sid glared at Savage and sighed. "Let's get this over with." Sid led the way, as the group traveled through the temple. Savage stepped on a trap and an arrow flew out from the wall and went straight for his head, Sid using his super speed caught the arrow mere inches away from Savage's eye. "Thank you lad I knew you wouldn't let anything bad happen to me." Sid glared at Savage but chose to ignore him. As the group went on they encountered many traps; first a barrage of arrows came flying from all directions, Sid using his super speed caught them all, second a flash flood of water came rushing at them, Sid used his heat vision to turn it into steam, lastly a gigantic bolder came rolling at the group with a single punch Sid turned it into dust. The group eventually ended up at the doorway to a chamber. "One last obstacle." Sid said as he punched the door at full force but nothing happened. "Looks like the door's enchanted. You're up." He said to Timmy who then carefully observed the door and came to a conclusion. "It's a puzzle. I have to rearrange these symbols in perfect order on the first try." But the other man interrupted. "Or what?" Savage asked. "We'll die." Timmy bluntly answered. "Can you solve it?" Sid asked. "Yes but it will take time." Timmy said. "Good thing we have plenty. Get to work." Savage ordered. Both boys looked at each other not happy with the third of their group.

Sheen's House, 16:56

In the late afternoon after a hard day of school and training Sheen went home. As he opened the door he discovered his family sitting in the lounge with Nate along with them. "Hey Sheen." Nate greeted his brother. Without hesitation Sheen tackled Nate into a wall with his speed and lifted him up with one arm. "You think you can just come back here after what you have done." The rest of the family tried to calm Sheen down. "Sheen hold on." Roberto tried to stop his son. "Por favor, Sheen ¡No le lastime!(Please Sheen, don't hurt him.)" Abuela cried. "Do you have any idea what he did to me!" Sheen yelled as he tightened his grip. "Please just listen." Roberto begged his son. Sheen released Nate. "Okay talk." Nate took a deep breath. "You were right." Sheen was stund for a moment. "What?" Sheen questioned. "You were right." Nate repeated himself. "The Rush. It's killing me." Shee could not believe what he was hearing. "How bad is it?" Sheen asked. "I have stage four terminal cancer in my liver, heart, kidney, and brain." Sheen's heart fell into his stomach. "I'm sorry." Sheen lamented. "Don't be. I did this to myself." Nate said shamefully. "How long do you have?" Sheen asked. "A few weeks at best." Sheen just couldn't give up now he finally had his brother back. "Are you going to get treatment?" Sheen asked. "Doctor says there wouldn't be any point." Nate began pacing around. "I only have myself to blame. I badly wanted to beat you, to be the best. To be the fastest but look where it's gotten me. My father and Abuela look at me like a disappointment and my brother hates me. Maybe I deserve this." Sheen shook his head disagreeing. "Don't say that son. Yes I'm disappointed about the choices you've made." Roberto began to tear up. "And I'm devastated that you'll be taken from us but at least you came back to make things right before it was too late."

"Estoy contento de que vuelvas a casa(I'm just glad that you've come home)." Roberto and Abuela hugged Nate. Nate broke out of the hug and walked to his brother. "Look, Sheen, I'm sorry about everything. I hope we can make peace one day." Sheen gave Nate a deadpan stare before he punched him in the face incredibly hard. "Glad to have you back." Sheen helped his brother back up. "You forgive me?" Nate asked. "Truth be told no. Your actions could've gotten me and my friends killed. You betrayed my trust as your brother just to fulfill your petty desires and that is something I'll never forget or forgive." Nate looked down in shame. "But that being said, for the sake of our family I will make peace with you Nate and leave the past in the past." Sheen added. "Thanks Sheen, that really means a lot to me…" But Sheen's expression changes quickly. "But make no mistake Nate, if you even think about betraying me again I'll kill you faster than the cancer." Sheen threatened. "I'd expect nothing less." Nate replied. "Good, now let's get dinner. I'm starving." Sheen happily said as he wrapped his arm around his brother. Sheen's Abuela happily got up to fetch the dinner that she had prepared.

Royalty Prep, 20:00

Later that night the students of Royalty Prep had gathered around the forya of the hall keen on getting into the dance. Elky drove in with Sloane. The teens got out of the car and revealed the beautiful dresses they had. Elky was wearing a strapless navy blue dress with glittery sequence on the torso and a flared knee length skirt with blue high heels with her hair down. Sloane was wearing a strapless white dress with a slit, diamond earrings and bracelets as accessories and her hair tied in a bun. "I hope the gym has smoke detectors because we look like fire tonight." Sloane praised. "I know right." Elky agreed. "So when's your boyfriend getting here?" Elky asked teasingly. "He canceled something about stopping the Green Fist." Elky instantly recognized the name. "What?" Elky asked, a little shocked by what Sloane said. "The Green Mist, you know that company that makes perfume. They test on animals he protests there." Sloane corrected herself awkwardly. "Right." Elky replied very suspicious about what Sloane just said. "Why don't we check in on your boyfriend. Maybe I can even meet him." Sloane said, trying to change the subject. "Sure." Elky agreed as she quickly texted Carl asking him where he was. Carl told her the band was at the back of the auditorium. The duo made their way to the band where they met up with Carl and Libby along with their band mates George and Michelle. "Hey babe." Elky greeted Carl. Carl turned around and went to hug Elky. "Carl, this is my friend Sloane." Elky said, introducing Sloane to Carl. "Hey." Carl greeted her. Sloane was getting hysterically excited. "I love your band." "Thanks, we appreciate it. That's Libby, George, and Michelle."

"Can I have your autographs!?" The others were more than happy to comply. "Sure but what will we sign?" George asked. Sloane thought for a second. "Wait right here!" she said as she ran off. "Elky, you're looking good tonight." Libby commented. "Thanks." Elky blushed. "Lookin 'good girl!" George called out before Michelle pushed him into the hall. "Ignore him please, you do look great." She said as she entered the hall. "Can't wait to dance with them." Elky said as she pulled Carl in close. "Same here." Carl replied as they learned their foreheads together. Libby expanded a force field bubble between Carl and Elky. "That's enough of that, leave room for Jesus." Libby joked as she separated them. "Carl we gotta set up." He looked back for a second before turning back to Elky. "Sure." Carl replied as he followed Libby. "Kiss for good luck?" He playfully asked. "You know if I keep giving you all this affection you'll get spoiled right." She playfully sighed as she went in and gave Carl a quick kiss. "What can I say? I love being spoiled." Carl chuckled before he entered the building. As Carl caught up with Libby she happily asked. "So is tonight the night?" Carl shook his head yes. "Yeah! I'm really nervous. Do you think she'll like it." Carl replied. "Definitely. Carl, I would go out with you if you sang me that song." Libby was happy for her friend. "This night is going to be magical."

After a few seconds Sloane returned holding a shirt. "Where did they go?" Elky answered her her eyes still on the spot where Carl just was. "Backstage, to set up." Elky answered. "Aww man. I wanted them to sign my shirt." Elky turned to her friend to reassure her she;d get another chance. "I'm sure they'll be a moment later…" Elky noticed the shirt Sloane was holding. "Is that my shirt?" Elky asked. "Yes." Sloane said not seeing a problem. "Give it back!" Elky demanded as she lunged at Sloane and grabbed the shirt. Sloane tried to pull it away. "I needed something for them to sign!" The girls kept tugging the shirt back and forth. "Then use your clothes!" Elky stated. "Stop being so selfish!" Sloane shouted. "I promise to get you an autograph later!" Unbeknownst to them Maya was watching everything from the bushes.

The Lost Temple, 20:09

After hours of rearranging pieces Timmy finally solved the mystic puzzle. "I'm done." Sid and Savage who were sitting got up in anticipation. The door began to glow, many of the ancient markings rearranged themselves forming into a circle. Timmy noticed something was off, he stepped up to the circle and finished its pattern. At that moment the sealed doors opened revealing the chamber inside. The chamber was almost completely vacant; the only thing inside was a long golden scepter. Timmy instantly knew what it was and attacked Savage on the spot. Timmy gave the ex-immortal several punches to the face. "Timmy what are you doing?" Sid asked. "Did you honestly think I would let you leave with that!" Timmy raged. Sid pulled Timmy off of Savage. Savage spat out blood. "Yes I do. If you want to see Susan alive again." Sid turned to his father having had quite enough of his threats. "What are you two talking about?" Sid asked. "That thing over there is the Infinity Sceptre. Created by the sorcerer supreme himself. It is the most powerful mystical artifact ever constructed, holding it increases your own magical powers tenfold. It also has a secondary feature." Timmy said. "What?" Sid asked concerned. "To house the Reality Stones." Savage answered. "But that doesn't matter. The deal was you get me the scepter and you get Susan back. You try to stop me now and she's dead." Timmy looked at his brother hoping he would understand what he needed to do. "Sid I don't like this but I can't ignore the hospitality that Susan has given me these last few months. If you want us to continue I won't object." Timmy said. "We'll stop Savage Timmy, I promise. But first we need to get my mother back." Timmy nodded in agreement. "Now that that melodrama is over can we go now." Sid and Timmy glared at Savage and he smiled. "I love it when we take family trips together." He chuckled. Savage made his way to the scepter as his hands were mere inches away from it a large demon-like creature fell from the ceiling of the temple. It was 8 feet tall, had gray skin, its face was shaped like a mian tribal mask, it had red eyes and had a long serpent like tongue. The demon charged in to attack Savage. Sid quickly reacted and blocked the creature's attack. The creature attacked Sid again and sent him crashing into the wall. "Timmy, exposition please!" He groaned. "Guardian Demon Exceedra sworn to protect the scepter against anything." Timmy looked at Sid. "You know you could've warned us right?"

"I forgot okay, I learned all of this when I was 13." Savage tried for the scepter again, Exceedra quickly caught up to him, Sid flew at the demon and tackled him into a wall. Exceedra and Sid began to fight and Exceedra had the clear advantage. "Come here!" Timmy ordered Savage as he pulled the villain away from the scepter. "What are you doing!?" Savage demanded to know. "Sid won't be able to defeat Exceedra. I need your help. Do you have a dagger or something sharp." Savage gave Timmy his pocket knife and Timmy began carving up the floor. Exceedra slammed Sid into the ground before throwing her into a wall, Sid flew out of the wall and pushed the demon back with his heat vision, the demon pushed through and kicked him away, Sid rebounded and punched the demon several times in the face, Exceedra grabbed him and threw him into the ground. "What are you doing?" Savage asked. "Evening the playing ground." Timmy replied. Timmy was carving up symbols around himself. Exceedra knocked Sid into a wall. Timmy finished carving up the floor and his eyes began to glow. "I thought you couldn't use magic here?" Savage asked. "Any real sorcerer knows how to make counter symbols. Now shut up I'm concentrating." Timmy said as his body was surrounded by a red aura. Exceedra kept punching Sid into the ground. Timmy finished his preparations. "Nova Blast!" He yelled as he fired a perfected version of his most powerful attack. The beam struck Exceedra vaporizing him along with most of the temple behind him.

Timmy fell to the ground in exhaustion. Sid got back up and helped his brother to his feet. Savage made his way to the scepter and grabbed it. "At last." The group made their way out of the temple with Sid still helping Timmy who was still very exhausted from killing Exceedra. "That was a fun family outing." Savage chuckled as they left the temple. "We should eat out to celebrate." Truly acting delusional if he thought for a moment he had his sons back. "Enough with the games Savage!" Sid stated. "Give me my mother back!" He demanded. "Fine." Savage agreed. Savage transformed into his chaos form. He reached into his stomach and pulled Susan out of it, throwing her to the ground. Sid ran to his mother's aid. "Now that business has concluded I will be on my way." Susan looked at her husband. "Wait Sam." Susan called out. Savage stopped and turned around. "What is it?" He asked. "I just want to know why? Why are you doing all of this?" She asked. "You want to know why huh. Let me explain it to you slowly. I was immortal. I'd lived long enough to see civilizations rise and fall and rise again. I'd lived hundreds of lives; a slave, a thief, a priest, a king and in all that time I realized one thing humanity will continue to make the same mistakes. Their animals that need to be ruled over."

"And you think you deserve to rule them?" Timmy asked. "Who better than an immortal." Savage smiled. "What did I… we even mean to you?" Susan asked. "I've seen millions die with my own eyes. You're nothing but a grain of sand on the beach that is my life." Savage coldly replied. Susan wanted to cry but didn't. "I'm actually glad you said that Sam. I thought maybe something was wrong with me but now I know something's wrong with you. You're lonely. You try to make yourself the most powerful person in any room just so you don't have to face the truth. You've lived a life longer than anyone and still it means nothing. You think those rocks you're hunting will fill the void in your soul, they won't. You'll just keep being that sad pathetic monster you've always been." Sid gave a whoot for his mother. "Way to go Mom." Sid said, impressed. Savage deadpan glared at Susan and without saying a word he teleported himself away. "You sure told him Susan." Timmy congratulated her. "Yeah you sure told him." Sid agreed. "Thanks I needed to get that off of my chest." Susan said as she smiled towards her son. "That's good but in all seriousness Savage just gained a big advantage against us. We need to get to the compound and tell the others." Timmy said. "Sure Mom, will you be okay if we leave you with the Neutron-Wheezers?'' Sid knew that Jamey and Carl's moms were always there for him when he or his mom needed it even before the accident. "Yeah, Martha and Judy were good to me after we found out about your father. I'll be okay with them." Susan said with a weary smile from the day's events. "Alright Timmy let's go." Timmy groaned as he sat down. "Can you give me a minute? Still not a hundred percent after the Nova Blast."

Summertime Bar, 20:28

Savage teleported into Brick's office, where Brick and Sasha were working. "Was your mission a success?" Brick asked. "Yes it was. And yours?" Savage asked. "By this time next week, the streets will be flooded with mutants." Brick answered. "I'm glad both of our days have been productive." At that moment the clone and Remy raced into the room. "Boss, we have some bad news." Remy stated. "What?" Savage asked. "Estevez ran." Savage looked at the clone of his son. "Should I bring him back?" The clone asked. "There's no need. He was useless to us and he couldn't tell Neutron anything even if he wanted to. So instead of worrying about that addict, how about we celebrate." Savage suggested. "My thoughts exactly. Sasha get Savage and I the good stuff and send a couple of girls our way." Brick ordered. "Yes sir." Sash agreed as she left the room with the clone and Remy. "To the future." Savage said holding up the glass of scotch he poured to Brick. "To the future." Brick agreed as they clinked their glasses together.

The Compound

Sheen brought his brother Nate to the compound where he explained the situation to Jamey, AJ, and Brett. "So that's it." Sheen said as he finished explaining. "Can you tell us anything about Savage?" Jamey asked. "I can't." Nate replied. "Look if you're scared of him we can protect you." Sheen said. "I'm not afraid of him." Nate said. "Then I don't understand…" Jamey tried to say. "It's not that I'm afraid or loyal to Savage." Nate interrupted Jamey. "I literally can't say anything about him." "What are you talking about?" AJ asked. Nate opened his mouth and showed the group his tongue revealing a mouth shaped black tattoo with teeth. "What the hell is that?" Sheen asked. "A curse mark." Timmy announced as he walked in with Sid. "Look who graced us with his presence." AJ commented. "What's a curse mark?" Jamey asked. "It's a mystical symbol used to control people, this particular one keeps you from talking about the castor. The kid can't speak about Savage in any capacity; he can't even answer if Savage has green eyes." Jamey growned. "So we're at another dead end." Jamey stated as she walked up to Sid and gave him a small side hug. "So how was your aunt?" She asked Sid who returned the hug. Not realizing just how much he needed it. "There was no aunt. Savage kidnapped my Mom and forced us to get him some magic scepter." Sid answered. "Is she okay?" Jamey asked, pulling away in concern. "Yes. A little shell shocked but otherwise good."

Suddenly Jamey's eyes went unfocused as she walked over to one of her examining tables breathing heavily and shaking out her hands, her skin already turning orange, she stood in front of it and while using Hulk's strength smashed it to pieces while shouting. "Where is he!" Inside Jamey's subconscious Hulk had to stop Jamey before she forced a transformation. "Jamey, I'm all for raging out now and again but you need to calm down. You know if you get riled up, so will I and that's not good for anybody." Hulk warned. "Remember young Master, your emotions can trigger a transformation. If you don't calm down immediately it could send Hulk on a rampage that could doom the population." Baby said backing up Hulk. Jamey took in some deep breaths to calm herself down, changing herself back to her normal skin color. "Sorry about that." Jamey said with her voice still fully shaking as she was still trying to take deep breaths when Sid came rushing towards her and wrapped his arms around her from behind to try and help calm her down. She just grabbed his arms and kept them there while she layed her head on his chest and listened to his heart beat. "We're all pissed about this too, Jamey." Timmy said, trying to help the girl feel a little better. "And the time for fooling around is over." Sid agreed, while he was subconsciously drawing circles with his thumbs on Jamey's forearms. "The war has officially begun." Jamey said still in Sid's grasp.

Royalty Prep, 20:30

The students had gathered in the hall, the band had set everything up and was about to start. The MC of the dance got up on stage. "Students of Royalty Prep, it's my pleasure to introduce Sonic Boom!" The crowd roared. "Hey there Royalty Prep are you ready to rock!" Carl called out. The crowd cheered. The room went quiet as the band started playing and Libby started to sing.

Here I am, once again.

Feeling lost but now and then.

I breathe it in to let it go.

And you don't know.

Where you are now.

Or what it would come to.

If only somebody could hear.

When you figure out how.

You're lost in the moment.

You disappear.

The crowd erupted with cheers for the band as they all started dancing.

You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action.

You're never gonna fade, you'll be the main attraction.

Not a fantasy. Just remember me.

When it turns out right.

'Cause you know that if you live in your imagination.

Tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination.

In my victory. Just remember me.

When I make it shine!

The crowd cheered for the band again. The night went on and the band played many songs which the crowd loved. It was almost time to close the night so Carl made an announcement. "Thank you Royalty Prep. You've been a great audience for us tonight. Give yourselves a round of applause!" The crowd cheered loudly. "Now I want to close the night off with something special. Will Elky Diaz please step onto the stage." Elky, who was standing next to Sloane, looked at the stage in shock. "Go on girl." Sloane pushed her forward. With a big grin on her face Elky stepped onto the stage. "Elky, you've made me the happiest man on earth. This song's for you." The band started playing the song while Carl started to sing to Elky.

I don't want to make a scene.

I don't want to let you down.

Try to do my own thing.

And I'm starting to figure it out.

That it's alright.

Keep it together wherever we go.

And it's alright.

Oh, well, whatever everybody needs to know.

You might be crazy.

Have I told you lately?

That I love you?

You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly.

And it's crazy.

That someone could change me.

Now no matter what it is I have to do,

I'm not afraid to try.

And you need to know that you're the reason why.

Elky began to tear up as the crowd went wild for Carl's song.

If it was raining, you would yell at the sun.

Pick up the pieces when the damage is done.

You say it's just another day in the shade.

But look at what a mess we made.

You might be crazy.

Have I told you lately?

That I love you?

You're the only reason that I'm not afraid to fly.

And it's crazy.

That someone could change me.

Now no matter what it is I have to do,

I'm not afraid to try.

And you need to know that you're the reason why.

With tears in her eyes Elky ran to hug Carl, the crowd cheered. As they cheered, the audience began to chant. "KISS! KISS! KISS!" Carl looked at Elky. "Well the people have spoken." Elky giggled. "How could we refuse them?" She agreed. Just as the couple were about to kiss, Maya who was hiding in the crowd had finally hit her breaking point. "ENOUGH!" She screamed using her sonic cry which forced everyone in the auditorium except Carl grabbed their ears to block out the sound. "Maya." Elky said, shocked. Carl and Libby looked at each other and silently prepared for a fight. "I can't believe you're all supporting this! We're supposed to be Royalty Prep. We're better than all the losers out there! Now you're all cheering for that Fat Bastard! What's wrong with all of you!" Maya ranted. The auditorium fell into a defining silence. A friend of Elky's Sebastian stepped out of the crowd. "We grew up." Maya whipped around. "What?" Maya asked in disbelief. "We grew up." He repeated himself. "Maya, we're not kids anymore, we changed. The world has gone completely nuts, and wasting time thinking about dumbass things like how attractive someone is or how much money's in their bank account is pointless." Maya mockingly laughed at the boy who was talking. "You're one to talk Seb. You're worse than any of us." Maya retorted. "I was. After those plant monsters attacked town my Dad's company was hit hard. We'd have nothing right now if my Dad's employees didn't decide to stick with us, barely getting half the pay they normally did. If they didn't make that sacrifice my family would be dirt poor, living on the streets. Now we're back on track, the company's stronger than it's ever been. And I understand. It doesn't matter where you come from or what you look like. We're all people, that's all that matters and we should treat each other with respect." Sebastian explained. The crowd cheered in agreement with Sebastian. Maya glared at him and Libby and Carl knew Sebastian's speech didn't work. Maya continued to glare at Sebastian. "You know I liked you better when you were an asshole." Maya took in a deep breath and unleashed a powerful sonic scream, Libby quickly reacted protecting Sebastian with a force field, Carl then fired a vibrational blast that knocked Maya down. Michelle and George looked at each other in shock. "Carl, Libby, you're the Invisister and Echo. Wow, you think you know a guy." George commented. "We'll explain later." Carl said. Libby spoke into her communicator. "This is the Invisible girl requesting bleach protocols at the Royalty Prep auditorium. We have a code Green."

"Armies coming?" Carl asked. "Yup." Libby answered. "Okay, let's get this over with." Carl replied. Maya got back up. "So I'm not the only freak around here!" Libby slowly walked towards Maya. "Look, Maya was it. I don't know what your beef is…" But Carl was quickly blasted back before he could finish. "My beef is with that fat bastard." Maya shouted, gesturing to Carl. "What did I do?" Carl asked. Maya looked at Carl viscously with the intent to kill. "You took Elky from MMEEEE!" She screamed as she unleashed her sonic cry. Carl blocked the sound attack effortlessly by absorbing it. "Libby protect the students!" "Got it." She agreed. Libby sent out multiple force field ropes that wrapped around all of the students and pulled them all towards Libby, Libby then erected a force field dome around them. "Aren't you going to help him?" Elky asked concerned. "Carl's got this covered. Right now I'm more concerned about keeping all your eardrums unruptured." Libby replied. Maya screamed as hard as she could, tearing apart the floor, shattering many objects made of glass trying to take out Carl. Carl on the other hand was barely putting any effort absorbing all her screams, Carl fired another vibrational blast that sent Maya flying into a wall. "Just give up. You're not going to win this." Maya struggled to get up. "I don't get it!" She said, slamming her fist to the ground,."You were just supposed to be a mark."

"What?" Carl questioned. "Huh, she never told you." Maya smirked. "Oh no." Elky said to herself. "What are you talking about?" Carl asked. "Remember that day at the hospital…" Elky ran to the front for the dome and began to bang it. "Maya no don't do this!" She pleaded. Maya ignored her and continued. "When you came to check up on Elky." Elky looked at Carl who was hesitantly listening. "Yes." Carl replied. "Do you want to know why she gave you her number?" Carl looked at Elky then looked back at Maya. "There's this dance called the Steve Grayson Dance. Basically our job is to find the ugliest, most disgusting person we can find, parade them around the dance and at the end of the night whoever brought the best date wins." Maya explained. A painful realization hit Carl like a truck. "You're starting to get it. She only went out with you so she could take you out to that dance." Carl could hear his heart beating in his ear, he felt woozy and he couldn't stand at all. Maya finally found an opening and unleashed a powerful sonic cry on Carl which sent him flying into the stage. "Carl!" Libby and Elky called out in unison. "How does it feel Wheezer to know you were just some pity date?" Maya taunted Carl as she tortured him with her sonic cry. "Libby! Help him!" Elky cried. "I can't." Libby replied. Elky watched on as Maya continued to torture Carl. "I'm not going to stand here and watch this anymore. Domitrim Mobitrum!" She called out. Elky teleported herself out of Libby's force field. "Elky." Sloane said surprised. "Maya!" Elky called out. Maya stopped her assault on Carl and turned to Elky and smiled. "So have you finally…"

"Shut the fuck up!" Elky shouted with teards in her eyes. "I am sick and tired of you Maya. You want some honesty, you were never my friend. I hated every second we spent together. You disgust me!" Maya glared at Elky, slightly hurt. "If you really feel that way. Goodbye." Maya unleashed a sonic cry on Elky. "Protectus!" Elky shouted creating a force field around herself protecting her from the sonic cry. "Shadow Clones!" She yelled, multiple Elky's appeared out of nowhere. "Gotta love an army of me's." All the clones said in unison. Maya fired sonic cries at many of the clones forcing them to vanish on impact. Elky, who was hiding in the shadows, formed a hand sign. "Shadow Possession." Elky's shadow stretched from its place and connected itself into Maya's. "What's going on!?" Maya panicked as she lost control of her body as she began to mimic Elky's movements. "Let's see if this clears your head." Elky said. Elky forced Maya to walk to the stage, she then forced Maya to grab the stage's edge and slam her head repeatedly on the surface. Elky released Maya shadow from her influence. Maya began to walk around still wobbly from hitting her head so many times. "Wind Blast!" Elky finally called out, knocking Maya through a wall knocking her out. Maya collapsed in exhaustion. "Four spells in one day. I need to lay down." She panted breathlessly. Libby released the crowd from the dome as they crowded around Elky and Carl and began cheering. Libby helped Carl up, Carl and Elky's eyes met and Carl walked away. At that moment the army arrived ready to arrest Maya and erase, take care of anyone injured and erase the memories of Libby, Carl and Elky's secret identities from the students minds. Elky went chasing after Carl, Libby wanted to follow but decided she needed to do something first. "Hey commander." She called out to the officer in charge. "Yes, ma'am." He answered. "Ensure those kids over there don't get their memories wiped." She gestured to Sloane, George and Michelle. "Of course." He agreed. Libby walked over to them. "So why didn't you wipe our brains?" Michelle asked. "We've known you two for a while. We were planning on telling you two sooner or later why not now." Libby answered. "And me?" Sloane asked. "I don't see this going well, Elky's going to need a friend. I hope we can trust you."

"I'll do my best." Sloane accepted. "Carl stop, I'm sorry!" Elky cried as she tried to stop Carl from leaving the room. "Get away from me!" Carl screamed as he blasted Elky into a wall with a sound blast when she tried to grab him. Carl looked at Elky with tears dripping from his face, he struggled to let the words out. "Why? WHY!?" Is all he could muster. Carl couldn't face Elky at that moment, he turned around and flew off. Elky collapsed and began to cry. Libby was on the phone. "Yeah it was that bad, I'll take Elky to the Candy Bar. You go find Carl… Okay bye, see you later." Libby walked over to Elky. "Bleach protocols are done, everyone's minds have been wiped, secret identities are safe. Let's go." Elky turned to look at Libby. "Go where?" Elky asked. "Girl talk." Libby replied.

The Candy Bar, 00:45

Libby brought Elky to the Candy Bar where Brett was waiting for them. Elky and Libby walked up to their table. "So I take it you heard, huh." Elky said. "Yeah, I did." Brett answered. "Bet you guys want to tear me a new one." Brett tried to shake his head no. "No. Ok well, we don't. I can't say the same for Jamey. Right now we just want to hear the story from you" Brett replied. Elky sighed, prepared to tell them the whole story.

Somewhere sitting on a rooftop Carl was sitting down on the ledge contemplating what to do next. At that moment Sheen super sped in. "I found him." Sheen said on the coms. A portal formed in the middle of the roof; Jamey, AJ, Sid, and Timmy stepped through. "How did you find me?" Carl asked. "Dude, I'm a speedster. I can search the whole city in 30 seconds." Sheen replied. "So I guess you guys heard how big a loser I am." Carl said. The boys went to sit next to their friend. "Carl, you're not a loser. I am so sorry that happened to you. You didn't deserve that." Jamey told her brother before hugging him from behind. "Really then what would you call the guy who only got a date with a girl as great as Elky so she could win a ugly date contest." No one could answer. "Yeah that's what I thought." Carl then looked at Timmy. "Did you know about this?" Timmy looked down in shame. "Yes I did." Timmy answered. "And boy did Elky struggle with it." Carl didn't believe him and bitterly laughed at that. "Yeah right." Carl said in disbelief. "Things aren't as simple as you perceive Wheezer. You want my advice, go talk to her." Timmy stated. "Good thing I never ask for your advice." Carl replied. "He's right, you know." Sid commented. "What?" Carl exclaimed. "Carl, right now it doesn't matter what we say, you're hurt, and confused and you're going to keep feeling hurt and confused until you finally know why. I don't mean to sound insensitive when I say this but you need to deal with this stuff now. Savage is back and we're all in danger, we don't have time for teen drama. We need your head in the game." Jamey told her brother. Without showing even a whiff of emotion Carl got up. "Fine, let's get this over with."

Candy Bar

The girls and Brett were drinking Purple Flurp talking about their problems. "You know I know he likes me but something keeps holding him back." Libby complained after taking a sip of Flurp. "Well it might have something to do with that fact that your brother wants to kill him, his brother wanted to kill him, or the fact that the both of you are in imminent danger every other week." Brett ranted. Libby thought for a second. "Nah, I think it's something else." The girls began to laugh. "Thanks girls, I really needed this." Elky said. "No problem Elk. But in all seriousness you really need to find Carl and talk to him." Brett said. "I know, but I think I should give him time to cool off." Libby nodded her head knowing full well what Carl was like hurt and angry. "Trust me you don't want to be on the receiving end of one of Carl's sound blasts when he's mad." Libby said. "I couldn't hear out of my left ear for three days." Elky looked down at her soda sadly. "Or Jamey when she gets angry she has literal inner demons you do not want to deal with. And trust me she can get very protective over her brother. She didn't talk to me for a week when she found out I had bullied him in my past life. And that was before she discovered her powers." Libby added and now Elky was not only upset about her relationship but now she was a little scared for her life. "She's not going to kill her Libby." Brett snapped back. Which allowed Elk to breathe. "Just severely mane." Now Elky was back to freaking out. The two saw this and even though they were having fun at her expense they were a little angry at what she did to Carl.

At that moment Jamey and the boys stepped through the door, the girls looked at them in anticipation wondering what Carl was going to do. "Hey… Carl." Elky greeted him nervously. "Can we talk outside?" Carl asked her, keeping his expressionless face. "Sure." Elky and Carl left their friends and stepped out of the building. "Do you think those two will make it?" AJ asked. "Hard to say." Jamey answered as she drank some Purple Flurp. "I really do hope so. Not just for the team's sake but for theirs." She was really worried about her brother at this moment. She was furious at Elky for what she did but Jamey really did hope the two could work things out.

Carl and Elky traveled to the alleyway behind the Candy Bar. "Okay talk." Carl said as he folded his arms. Elky took a deep breath and sighed. "You see it went down like this." Elky began to tell Carl the whole story.

Back inside the Candy Bar the rest of us continued talking. "So Nate is back." Jamey said as she drank some Purple Flurp. "Yeah he is." Sheen replied. "How are you holding up?" Libby asked, looking at Sheen with surprise. "It's a lot to take in." Libby placed a hand on Sheen's arm which he grabbed with his hand and held it. "Do you think you can trust him?" Sid asked. "He did sit and watch when Savage tried to drain the life out of you." Jamey added. "If it were under different circumstances I wouldn't but Nate has stage four terminal Cancer with only weeks left. I don't trust him but I don't think he has anything up his sleeve." Jamey realized that just too much was going on for the team to truly focus. "You should take some time off." Jamey said. "Spend time with your brother." Sheen just looked at her. "Are you sure? From what you guys told me Savage just made a huge power play." Jamey nodded. "I'm sure Sheen. Whatever Savage has planned I doubt he'll do it in the next few weeks. And even if he does, you're the fastest man alive, you'll be there in seconds." Sheen smiles at her. "Thanks man, I really appreciate it." Sheen instantly felt a weight off his chest. "What are friends for right?" Jamey smiled.

Back at the alleyway Elky finished telling Carl. "So that's what happened. But Carl I swear this means nothing." Elky said trying to convince him. "I don't believe you." Carl replied. "What!?" Elky exclaimed. "I don't believe you." Carl repeated. "Elky, we've been dating for more than a year. You've had dozens of chances to tell me but you didn't. And you know what if you'd told me before I would've forgiven you. Because I would've known despite the messed up circumstances that got us together you wanted to make what we had real." Elky nodded her head vigorously. "What we have is real!" Elky said as she began to tear up. "Is it? Because from where I'm standing it looks like you've just been using me." Elky cried out. "That's not true." Carl looked her straight in the eyes. "Look at things from my point of view. You love super heroes and you found out I was Echo a day after our first date and now you get to live your power fantasy by just chumming up to some loser to get what you want." Elky shook her head violently. "Carl I know you're hurting right now but that's just flat out not true." Carlwould not listen. "Isn't it. Elky you know what happened with our friends, you know all the bad stuff we've done. But you still decided to keep this a secret. I would've understood but you didn't trust me and now I don't trust you." Elky was faltering. "Carl…" Elky tried one more time. "I want nothing to do with you Elky, we are not dating, we're not friends, all we are to each other now is just teammates that's it." Carl stormed. "You're breaking up with me?" Shocked by what he just said Carl regained his composure. "l… Yes. Yes I am."

Inside the Candy Bar Sid listened to the whole argument between Elky and Carl with his super hearing. "Guys it's gotten bad out there we need to go." Everyone got up and left the table.

There was a tense silence surrounding the alley after Carl broke up with Elky all the teens could do was stare at each other. Carl began to walk away from Elky, he stopped in a moment of hesitation he wanted to turn back but ultimately chose to keep walking. Elky just stood there stunned by everything, the rest of the team stepped out of the building and into the alley. "Where did Carl go?" Libby asked. Elky tried to tell them but only managed to break down and cried on Libby's shoulder as Libby began to pat her back. Jamey had hoped the two could work things out because she selfishly didn't want to get mad at a girl who she had come to see as a friend; for hurting her brother. But she had only made things worse and now Jamey was doing everything she could to not shake in anger. She tried to take deep breaths as she saw her hands turn orange. Sid saw this and whispered in her ear. "Are you ok?" He went to touch her shoulder but she pulled away quickly and said. "No." Jamey said, catching everyone's attention. Jamey started to walk in the direction Carl would have gone, but before she got too far Jamey stopped in her tracks and turned back around. She started to walk towards Elky who was about to apoligize tp Jamey for hurting her brother but never got that chance. Jamey decked Elky so fast nobody quite knew what had happened for a moment. The hit was straight at Elky's nose and with a slight involuntary use of Hulk's strength it broke her nose causing it to bleed and giving her two black eyes. The force of the hit caused her to tumble backwards into the arms of Libby who caught her. Before anyone could say anything Jamey turned back around without a word and ran after her brother. The rest of the team didn't know what to do; they just stood there as the sound of Elky's crying filled the alley.

Maya was being transported to Black Creek when the armored vehicle carrying her stopped. "What's going on?" She asked the guards. They quickly left the truck to resolve the problem. Maya heard the sound of gunfire and screams. The door opened again and Shawn was standing there along with Force and Snow Queen. "Who are you?" She asked. "Friends." Shawn smiled, he pulled out a device the same one Stone used to restore memories before and used it on Maya restoring her memories of Carl and Libby's identities. "I remember." She smiled. "Yes you do. Now you have two options here. You can try to go it alone again, get recaptured and go to prison, or you can come with us and we can work together to accomplish our goals. What do you say?" She smiled. "With an offer like that, how can I refuse?"

Summertime Bar

Later that night, Savage had left Brick alone to rest. Brick was drinking by himself alone. He got up to pour himself another drink, after pouring one he turned around to find Susan there standing in front of him. "Hello Susan. Would you like a drink?" Brick asked. Susan slapped the glass out of Brick's hand, sending it crashing into the wall. "You could've just said no." Susan was livid. "What the hell is wrong with you! Teaming up with Savage! Helping him retrieve the Reality Stones! Are you trying to start a cosmic war!" She shouted. "Would you just relax? It's called monitoring the situation. As you've noticed we've lost control of Savage, he's going off the deep end. I need to keep him close to ensure he doesn't gain anymore power. I also need time to gain more of my own. If I make an attempt on his life and fail. It could blow up our entire operation and you know that. That's why you didn't fight back when he attacked you." Susan remained quiet. "Trust me, I have the situation under control. What I'm more worried about is that brat of yours." Susan gave him a threantingly glare. "What does any of this have to do with Sid?" Susan asked concerned for her son. "He is far more powerful than he should be and you know that." Susan paced around. "His mutant physiology is helping him out."

"I've been watching the boy. Not only does he have our abilities but some additions. At the rate his abilities are growing he'll be more powerful than the Supreme Leader by the time he's 20. Maybe I should take him off the board." Brick smirked. Susan with super speed tackled Brick into a wall, with her body crackling with electricity she threatened Brick. "Don't you dare threaten my son!" Brick kicked across the room with enough force to dent the wall she impacted. "There's that temper again. I thought I told you to relax. I won't kill your daughter, I'm just voicing my concerns. How are you going to bring her onto our side? If he rejected Savage, what makes you think he'll join you?" Susan got dangerously close. "I have a plan for that. Don't worry about it." Susan replied. "What exactly is your plan?" Brick taunted. "I won't give him a choice. If push comes to shove. Maybe Jamey Neutron can be of use to us after all." Susan said with a sinister grin that made Brick's spine tingle. At that moment Brick's guards came running in with guns. "Sir, we heard a sound. Are you okay?" They looked on to see Brick was on his own. "It's nothing Damien, just letting out my frustrations." Brick replied. Actually feeling slightly bad for the girl who unfortunately got involved with the wrong boy.

Somewhere in the Desert

A portal formed as a speedster raced out of it with phenomenal speed. The speedster was wearing a reverse print of Sheen's Flash costume; they removed their mask to reveal a beautiful hispanic woman. She pulled out a device and a miniature hologram of Sheen wearing his Flash costume. "Finally Flash. I'll get my revenge on you at long last."

Sheen's House

Sheen was sleeping peacefully in his bed. He felt a wave of energy pass over him. Sheen woke up wondering what he felt but fell back asleep.

Summertime Bar, Friday 05:57

Brick was surrounded by many of his cronies. "Go out and find the vulnerable ones, find the oppressors and give them power. Bring the fucking chaos." Brick spoke out. His thugs all agreed before they dispersed.

The Compound, Saturday 08:23

A week after the Royalty Prep Winter Formal, Sheen met up with Jamey in his lab. "Hey Jamey." Sheen greeted Jamey. "What did you want this early in the morning?" Jamey turned to Sheen, her hair slightly messy as she was working non stop on her latest project. "I examined the Rush your brother gave me and I think I found a way to save his life." Jamey explained. "Dude, that's great!" Sheen exclaimed. "Out of that inferior Rush formula I have created this." Jamey explained holding up a blue vile of liquid. "What's that?" Sheen asked. "I call it Rush X-Stream. This will give Nate permanent super speed, and with the healing factor he will gain, it will halt the cancer." Jamey explained. "That's a good thing right?" Sheen asked. "Maybe." Jamey replied. "What do you mean?" Sheen asked. "Look Sheen I want to help you but what guarantees do I have that your brother won't run back to Savage the second he gets his powers back." Sheen sighed. "You don't." Sheen replied, accepting Jamey's possible refusal. "That's why I'll let you decide." Jamey continued. "What?" Sheen questioned. "I'm going to leave this decision to you Sheen. He's your brother. I trust you." Jamey explained to Sheen before she gave him the Rush X-Stream. Sheen gave Jamey a hug. "Thanks man." Jamey smiled at him. "Like I keep saying what are friends for." Jamey replied. "Speaking of friends. Have you talked to Carl?" Sheen asked. Jamey sighed. "I'm worried about him. He's been MIA the whole week. Maybe I pushed him too far." Jamey was worried that she had only caused her brother more hurt after he had gotten his heart ripped out. "He hasn't answered any of my calls or texts. Let's check in on him later." Sheen replied. "Cool, let's say 3 o'clock. I have to do something at Cesar Labs." Jamey suggested. "Sure I'll meet you there." Sheen agreed. "If you decide to give Nate the serum, call me so I can safely administer it." She told Sheen so if he did decide to give it to Nate it would be admissistered safely. "Cool." Sheen replied. The two friends fist bumped as Sheen left.

Elky's House, 09:12

In Elky's backyard, Elky and Timmy were training. She still had a bandaid over her nose from where Jamey hit her and there was a lot of bruising on her face around that area and around her eyes. When she got home her parents were so worried thinking she had gotten hurt at the dance and when Elky explained how she deserved it. Her mother tried and confort her daughter while Elk tried to convince her father not to call the cops on Jamey. "Okay, Elky I'm about to teach the most important thing you'll ever have to know as a sorceress." Timmy explained. "Uh, huh." Elky replied, barely paying attention, which Timmy noticed. "And it requires you to dress up like a penguin while dancing like a chicken." Timmy said, trying to recapture Elky's attention. "Yeah, that's great." Elky replied. Timmy walked over to Elky who was still lost in her own thoughts and shouted directly in her ear. "EARTH TO ELKY!" Elky jumped out of her chair. "What the heck, man!" She complained. "That's Master to you Elky. Look I gave you a week to process your heartbreak but I came here to teach you magic. Are you still interested in learning?" Elky nodded her head. "I am and I'm sorry for being a space case. I just keep replaying everything in my head… and maybe I could've done things differently." Timmy sighed and sat next to his apprentice. "Elky I'm going to give you the same advice my parents gave me whenever I had a problem."

"What is it?" Elky asked. "You have to keep moving forward." Timmy answered. "What do you mean?" Elky asked. "Sometimes things don't go your way. And sometimes they'll get a lot worse before they get better. But no matter what life throws at you, you have to keep moving forward." Timmy explained. "Easier said than done." Elky replied. "You're damn right it is. But I like to look at it like this. There's no point in stressing about what went wrong or what you could've done better. I'd rather use that energy for the next time." Elky just looked at him. "Next time?" Elky questioned. "When you find yourself in a similar situation, you'll know what not to do. That is how someone becomes wise. Learning from their mistakes to become better." Timmy explained. Elky began to feel better. "You know, you're actually a good teacher." Elky said teasingly. "Thanks. I'll try my best." Timmy joked back. "Can I ask you something?" Elky asked. "Sure." Timmy replied. "Do you think Carl and I will get back together?" She asked. "You want me to be honest?" Timmy asked. Elky nodded. "Okay then. Elky, your secret although unintended, has made Carl question everything about himself and his life. Before he could even think about getting back together with you he has to answer a big question about himself: who is he and what does he want."

Neutron-Wheezer House, 15:19

Carl was moping around, lying On in his bed depressed by everything. Someone knocked on Carl's door but he didn't answer. "Carl, sweety are you awake?" Martha asked. Carl still didn't answer. "Jamey and Sheen are here to see you." Carl still remained silent. On the other side of the door Martha, Jamey, and Sheen were waiting for Carl to respond. "I just don't know what to do." Martha said concerned for her son. "He doesn't want to talk to me or Judy. He's barely eating and he just spends the day locked up in his room sleeping." Martha just looked at her daughter. "Thanks mom, we'll handle it from here." Jamey said. "Okay." Martha said as she walked away. Jamey tried to open the door but couldn't because it was locked. "It's locked." Jamey said. "Plan B then." Sheen said as he grabbed Jamey and used his intangibility to phase through the door. "That always feels so weird." Jamey commented. The duo looked on to see Carl lying in his bed covered in blankets. "Time to get up bro." Sheen said as he pulled the blankets off of Carl. Carl groaned as he tried to pull the blankets back onto himself. Jamey went to Carl's curtains and opened them up. "We need to get some fresh air and light." She said as he opened the windows. "Leave me alone." Carl groaned. Jamey and Sheen pulled Carl up. "Come on big guy. Let's get you cleaned up. We'll grab some pizza at Luigi's." Sheen said. "I don't want anything." Carl groaned. "Come on, we'll make a day out of it." Jamey needled. "I SAID NO!" Carl exploded as he pulled away from Jamey and Sheen. The situation became a bit more tense. "We're just trying to help you dude." Sheen commented. "Well I didn't ask for help. I just want to be alone!" Carl raged. "That's not going to help." Jamey replied. "So what if it doesn't! That's what I want!" Carl continued to rage. "That's not what you want." Jamey replied. "Just because you're a genius you think you know me. YOU DON'T KNOW ME!" Carl shouted and blew Jamey back into the wall. "No it's because I'm your friend and your sister." Jamey replied. "You're not my friend. You're just using me." Now Jamey was arguing back. "What are you talking about?!"

"The only reason I'm on this team is 'cause I'm useful to you!" Carl cried back. "If you honestly believe that you're truly lost. If I was only interested in power I would've found some way to bribe, Force, or Parasite, or even Hypno. No, you're not mad at me, you're angry because you think if it wasn't for your powers Elky would've dumped your sorry ass a long time ago. And you know what she'd be right!" Carl in a burst of anger charged at Jamey and tackled her into his closet door, slightly damaging it. Sheen stepped in and separated the two before things escalated. Jamey's eyes turned green. "You're cool, right?" Sheen asked, looking at Jamey giving her his full focus, making sure nobody died today. Jamey took a deep breath and her eyes went back to normal. "Yeah. I'm fine." Jamey just walked out of the room for a second leaving the door open and just standing on the other side of the door. "I'm sorry… I'm sorry." Carl sobbed as he collapsed against his wall. "It's okay Carl." Jamey said as she sat next to her brother. "It's just… I always thought that the only reason you guys have me around is because I was a mutant. Elky… Elky was different. She liked Carl Wheezer. Now… How am I supposed to believe… that it's me that makes me special and not my powers." Carl cried letting out all his anger and frustration. Jamey sighed and the room remained silent for a moment. "Maybe you're right." Carl looked at Jamey wondering where she was going with her point. "If you didn't get powers, you would've never met Sid and Libby, and if you'd never met them you wouldn't have joined the team and if you didn't join the team you wouldn't have had to investigate Parasite and the if you didn't investigate Parasite you would've never met Elky, you probably wouldn't have gained the confidence to have a heart to heart with our Mom's. So yeah, your powers gave you everything you hold dear." Carl lowered his head, falling into a deeper depression. "But that's just life Carl." Jamey continued. Carl looked back at Jamey. "Do you know the odds of getting mutant abilities, Carl? Barely 1% of Americans have the mutant gene and even less awakened their powers when the chamber exploded. The odds of getting powers are astronomically small, but you did it and from there you turned your life around. "Think of it like winning the lottery." Sheen pointed out. "My life would be hell if I never got my powers. I would still be under Zupco's thumb or even worse in jail."

"And Hulk and Baby would still be stuck in my subconscious if it weren't for mine. Our powers gave us a second chance to fix our lives and make things right." Jamey added. "But they aren't all we are." Sheen continued. "Carl, you've accomplished so much just being you. Your powers didn't make you a great drummer or give you the talent to write those amazing songs." Carl was giving them a smile. "Carl your powers may have given you a leg up but by no means did they make you special. They just helped highlight your better qualities." Jamey added. Carl began to feel a bit better. "I'm sorry that I pushed you. Savage had made a power play and I panicked. I'm sorry I didn't take your feelings into account. I'm the worst sister ever." Jamey continued. "Thanks for that. And you did try to step up in your own way. Not that I approve of you hitting Elky." Carl replied, causing Jamey to become tight lipped. "Yeah, not my finest moment. With everything that had gone on that day I just lost control." Jamey said sheepishly. "If you want time off to figure things out, take it. We'll be waiting for you when you're ready." Carl stood up and smiled. "You guys are right. I've been feeling sorry for myself for way too long." Jamey and Sheen grinned in triumph. "Glad to have you back big guy." Sheen commented. "You guys weren't joking about the pizza right?" Carl asked. Jamey stood up. "So what are we getting? I was thinking of Chicken and Mushrooms." She suggested. "Nah, how about a Meat Deluxe." Sheen suggested. "No, if we're having pizza we'll do it right." Carl said. "So what were you thinking?" Jamey asked. "Hawaiian." Carl answered. Jamey and Sheen both groaned in playful disgust. "Really man." Sheen complained. "Gross on the ham part. But yes fr the pineapple." Jamey said, causing Sheen to look at the siblings. "You don't put fruit on pizza?" Jamey looked at Sheen like he was crazy for not liking pineapple on pizza. "You guys are crazy. Have you even tried it? Hawaiian pizza is delicious." Carl debated. The three laughed as they continued their debate as they left Carl's house. Martha who was in the kitchen let out a little smirk glad her son was getting better.

Streets of Retroville, 18:43

Savage's thugs slowly but surely were going from client to client selling each of them a vile of Temp-X.

The Compound, 19:00

A few hours later after the boys and Jamey had their fun they met up with Brett and AJ to observe Jamey while she fix's Nate's condition. "So how's this going to work Jamey?" Sheen asked. "We're going to put Nate in that gas chamber." Jamey said, pointing to a chamber. "There your brother will breathe in Rush X-Stream vapor and then he'll have super speed." Nate was a little antsy being tested on thinking back to Martha. "Do you think it will work?" Nate asked. Jamey glared at Nate. "Kid, I'm the fifth smartest person on the planet. I got three doctorates in Engineering, Physics and Math at the age of twelve. I think I know what I'm doing." Brett walked up behind her and threw his arm around her. "And we checked her work." Brett commented. "And it's good." AJ added. "And that's coming from the third smartest person on the planet." Jamey's smile dropped at the teasing. "Gee guys. Thanks for the vote of confidence." Jamey sarcastically replied. "What are the risks?" Sheen asked. "Nothing. Either it works or it doesn't. No risks." Jamey replied. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Sheen asked Nate. "Well it's either this or dying in a few weeks. So I think I'll do this." Nate replied. Nate stepped into the chamber and Sheen could tell his brother was nervous. "You'll be okay Nate." Sheen said through the glass, trying to comfort his brother. At that moment several of the compound's alarms went off. "What's going on?" Nate asked. "AJ!" Jamey called out. "Right." AJ answered using grid to check what was going on. "We have mutant attacks all over the city." Jamey looked at the monitors. "This is insane. Where did they come from." Jamey questioned. "AJ call the others. We need to get this under control." AJ did as Jamey asked and called the whole team. "Is everyone online?" Jamey asked. "Yeah." Sid answered. "What's up?" Libby answered. "What's the problem?" Timmy answered. "The city's going to hell. We have an unprecedented amount of mutants attacking basically everywhere. We need to split up and deal with them." Jamey explained. "Sid, you go to the police station." He turned to the girl and nodded back at her. "Got it." Sid agreed. "Libby, you go to the Public Library." Libby let out a sigh. "Sure." Libby replied. "Timmy there's a big gathering of mutants at city hall. I need you there." Timmy opened a portal to his given destination. "I'm on it." Timmy replied. "Cool, I'm sending in Carl for good measure." Jamey added. "AJ and Brett are going to run mission command, and when you think you've got your situation under control go help someone who doesn't."

"Right." Everyone said in agreement. "Sorry Nate, we'll deal with your problem later. There's food in the fridge. Don't touch the pizza that's Hulk's if you touch it she will kill you. If everyone's clear. Let's go!" Jamey ordered. RPD(Retroville Police Department) Five hulking brutes were tearing the streets apart. The police were trying their best to defend the people but they were clearly outmatched. "This is amazing." One of them yelled, throwing a car into a building. "Yeah." Another agreed. The cops began to fire on them but their bullets barely scratched the mutants. "It's hard to believe bullets hardly do anything to us." One of them laughed. "This feels like one great fucking dream!" Another yelled in excitement. He picked up a car and tossed it at the cops, the cops braced for impact but Sid got there just in time to catch it. Sid turned and recognized one of the cops from the time he fought Force. "We should really stop meeting like this." He smiled. He smiled back reassured that things were safe in Special Guy's hands. Sid dropped the car. "Take five and get some doughnuts, this won't take too long." He walked over to the mutants.

"Aye boys, look at what we have here!" The lead thug called out. "A real genuine super hero. Get lost little boy, you don't want any of this." Sid let out a big smile. "I'm going to break both your arms." Before the leader could react Sid punched him in the face with enough force to send him flying into the air. The other four mutants quickly reacted charging for Sid and attacked him, using his super speed he easily dodged their attacks. Two of them threw punches at Sid who easily caught their fists. "Nice try." He smirked. Sid slammed them into each other and then threw them into the ground. The other two realized there was no way they were going to win so they tried to run. Sid, using his super speed, easily caught up with them and karate chopped the back of their necks, knocking them out instantly. "And now the last one." He said to himself. The leader that Sid punched into the air came back crashing into the ground. "Glad you made it back." Sid smiled. He struggled to get back up and saw his men on the ground defeated. "You think you can get away with this!" He screamed. "I think I did." He smirked. The thug rushed at Sid, Sid dodged him and hit his arm with a roundhouse kick, breaking it. The thug shrieked in pain. "You know we could stop. if you're not feeling man enough that is." Sid taunted him. The thug charged at him again, and Sid quickly reacted by kicking him back onto the street. Sid flew up to him. "Hey, who's got two broken arms and is a total bitch!" The guy snaooed back. "You stupid bitch, you only broke one of my…" At that moment Sid stepped on his other arm breaking it as well. All the thug could do was let out a pained shriek as he passed out. "Action's over boys. It's safe to come out." He called out. The cops got out of their hiding spots. "Thanks Special Guy, you saved us." Sid waved the officer off. "No problem Officer…" The officer answered. "Jones." Sid nodded. "Right. If you guys need any more help don't be afraid to call." Sid said right before he flew off.

Retroville Public Library

Right in front of the Retroville Library a different kind of threat was terrorizing the women of the city. A purple blob humanoid mutant with eight tentacles instead of arms was… assaulting multiple women with his tentacles. "I swear this is the best day of my life!" He yelled like the deranged rapist he was. Libby flew into the situation riding a force field disk. "What the hell's going on here?!" Libby said in shock and disgust. The purple blob man noticed Libby. "Oh my god! It's Invisister!" He exclaimed as he dropped the girls he was fondling. "I'm so fanboying right now." LIbby really hated her life at that moment. "Who are you? And what is your deal?" Libby asked. "I am Tentacle Man, and I use my abilities to satisfy women everywhere!" He screamed with much pride. Libby couldn't believe what she just heard. "I can't believe this! Why do I always fight the perverted freaks!" Libby thought to herself. "Look… Huh Tentacle Man was it. Clearly you watch way too much hentai. It's not okay to sexually assault girls. It's creepy and wrong. So how about you turn yourself in and maybe your punishment won't be too severe." Tentacle Man was not in a listening mood. "No you don't understand. Didn't you hear all their moans and…"

"Look Hentai Man, no matter what you think you hear. What you're doing is wrong. End of story, now turn yourself in before I get mad." Tentacle Man made his decision. "You're wrong! I'll make you feel it! Then you'll understand!" Tentacle Man shot his tentacles at Libby. Libby flipped around acrobatically avoiding the tentacles; she then fired multiple force field disks that sliced up all of Tentacle Man's tentacles. "Please don't regenerate." Libby said. Tentacle Man's tentacles immediately began to regenerate. "Damnit!" She complained. Tentacle Man went in and attacked again. Libby flipped around avoiding the tentacles using her force fields as platforms. "Come on Invisister! You can't know the bliss I am offering you if you run away!" Tentacle Man managed to grab Libby's leg, he then got her other leg and her arms. "Now you will know pleasure!" He called out. Tentacle Man fired his remaining tentacles at Libby. "Okay, I am officially done with this!" Libby shouted. Libby created a force field saw and sliced up Tentacle Man's tentacles again. His Tentacles regenerated again. "You think that will stop me!" He called Libby out. "No but this will." Libby retorted. Libby placed force field rings on each of Tentacle Man's tentacles; she then tied him up to a pole. "Please let me go!" Tentacle Man begged as he struggled for freedom. Libby then walked up to him and knocked him out with a force field mace. "Gonna need a long shower after dealing with that freak." Libby said as she flew off on a force field disk.

The Beach

Dozens of mutants were terrorizing the people. Timmy and Elky arrived on the scene. "Are you sure I can handle this?" Elky questioned. "Only one way to find out. I'll take the fourteen on the right, you take the six on the left and we'll see where we'll go from there." Timmy said. "Right." Elky agreed. Timmy and Elky jumped into action. "Crashing Waves!" Elky shouted, creating a wave of water that engulfed many of the rampaging mutants. "Electric Surge!" She yelled as electricity bounced off her body and she shocked the mutants, knocking them out. "Impressive." Timmy complimented her. "My turn. Shadow Possession!" he shouted. Timmy's shadow extended to possessing dozens of mutants. "And now for the more impressive Shadow Strangle." A shadow hand stretched from the mutants possessed shadows and began choking them until they passed out. "Harsh." Elky commented. Timmy noticed something flying towards them. "Look out!" He screamed at Elky. A mutant bat man came flying at Elky, she couldn't react fast enough to cast a spell the mutant was inches away from her but was blasted away by one of Carl's sound blasts. Timmy and Elky watched as Carl landed in front of them. "Sorry I'm late. The beach is really far from our base." Carl explained. "Nice entrance Wheezer." Timmy complimented him. "Hey Carl." Elky greeted Carl. "Hey Elky." Carl greeted her back. "Can we do this awkward thing later? Let's get to work!" Timmy ordered. "Right." Elky and Carl agreed. The group jumped back into action one by one taking the mutants down. Elky, who had reached her spell casting limit, dropped, Carl ran to her and defended her from the mutant onslaught. "We need to take them all out at once!" Carl shouted. "Any suggestions?" Timmy asked. Carl thought for a second and came up with an idea. "Can you make a force field like Libby?"

"Yeah." Timmy answered. "Libby and I came with this new move called the sound box. I need you to trap them in a bubble."

"Got it." Timmy replied. Timmy's eyes changed into a pure pink color. "Protectus!" He shouted as a large pink dome enveloped all the mutants. "Can you hurry!" Timmy groaned as he felt the mutants trying to free themselves. "This isn't going to last forever!"

"Right." Carl replied. "Open the dome enough to let my hand through." Timmy did as Carl asked and created a small opening in his dome. Carl placed his hands through the small opening. Carl released a powerful high frequency pulse. The mutants trapped in the dome grabbed their ears in pain and one by one they all fell. Timmy dropped the dome. "Nice job, big guy. I'll round them up." Timmy said as he flew off. Elky and Carl were left alone to talk. "You were great." Elky commented. "So were you." Carl replied. There was an awkward moment of silence between the teens. "Look I…" They both said at the same time. "You first." Elky said. "Elky, I wanted to apologize for everything I did." Elky stepped in. "You have nothing to apologize for, Carl." Carl argued back. "Yes I do. I was completely out of line…" Elky stopped him dead in his tracks. "If what happened to you happened to me, I would've lost it. I can't imagine how hurt you must've felt. I'm the one who owes you the apology." Carl looked at the girl he loves. "Can I ask you something?" Carl asked. "Anything." Elky replied. "Why did you like me? What was it?" Elky looked down at the ground before looking back at him. "You want to know the truth?" She asked. Carl nodded his head. "I like you because you are unapologetically you Carl."

"What do you mean?" Elky let out a breathy laugh. "You've never cared what people think of you, you do what makes you happy even if it means feeling lonely. You inspired me to be myself, something I can never thank you enough for. Echo might be cool but I fell in love with Carl Wheezer." Carl smiled and began to tear up a bit. "Thank you for that." Carl said. "Can I ask you something?" Elky asked. "Sure." Carl replied. "Is there any chance we could get back together?" Elky asked hopefully. "Yes, just promise me no more secrets okay." Carl replied. Elky smiled. "Definitely." She ran to Carl and they hugged. "Kiss me like you missed me Red." Elky said dramatically. "Red?" Carl questioned. "New Nickname. Do you like it?" Carl smiled. "Does this answer your question?" Carl laid a passionate kiss on Elky. "Whoa, definitely." Elky beamed. "I'm glad you two crazy kids could patch things up." Timmy commented as he restrained the last mutant. "Me too." Carl agreed. "Let's get out of here." Timmy said as he formed a portal.

Retroville Zoo

A group of humaniod animals; a Lion, Panther, Bear, Rhino, and Elephant were terrorizing the place. The Lion mutant pulled out a megaphone. "We are the Mighty Mutanimals. We will free our brother so they can be free like they should be." Jamey got to the scene and pulled out a coin. "Alright call it." Hulk shouted. "Heads." While Baby called out. "Tails." Jamey flipped the coin and it landed on tails. "It's tails." Hulk moaned. "Aw man." Baby wanted to make Hulk feel better. "Don't sulk. Unlike you I am willing to share with you." Jamey felt Hulk smile at that. "I'll take the three on the right. The big ones at the back are sure to give you a fight." Jamey sighed. "If we're all settled. Let's go Baby!" Jamey yelled as she transformed into Baby. "I must say Jamey, I am quite impressed. That entrance you gave me was simply the best." Baby smiled. "At least one of you likes my battle cries." Jamey said. "Argh." Hulk groaned.

Before the mutanimals could free the animals, Baby leaped into action. "If you beasts consider yourselves clever. I suggest that you cease your endeavor." The animals laughed. "You think you can stop us." Baby replied with a devilish smile. "Short answer. Yes." The Lion, Bear and Panther mutants attacked Baby and began biting and slashing her with their teeth and claws. Baby let out a powerful cry before she pushed, punched and kicked the mutants off of herself. Baby charged at the Bear and sliced her jaw straight off of her head. The Panther jumped out of the shadows and slashed Baby's torso with his claws leaving a mark, Baby glared at him and extended her own claws stabbing the panther in his jugular vein. The Lion pounced on Baby's blind spot, Baby quickly reacted and unleashed her powerful acid spit on the Lion Mutant turning him into nothing. "Whoa Baby. You do not hold back, do you?" Jamey said. Baby smiled at what Jamey said. The Elephant and the Rhino came charging at her. "It's your turn Hulk." Baby said as she changed into Hulk.

Hulk took the full impact of both beasts and held them off. "Is this all you two got?" Hulk laughed as she effortlessly pushed them aside. "Disappointing." The Rhino got back up and tackled Hulk, trying to stab Hulk with his horn but it couldn't pierce her skin. Hulk grabbed his horn, ripped it off the Rhino's head and stabbed him in his eye with it. Hulk glared at the Elephant who was visibly terrified. "You want some of this?" She asked. The Elephant regained composure and without any hesitation charged at Hulk, but she didn't move an inch. As soon as the Elephant got close enough Hulk let loose a punch so powerful it reduced the Elephant to nothing but a pile of body parts. "You two really need to learn the meaning of the word restraint." Jamey said with a sigh. "What? They were asking for it." Hulk replied.

Retroville Bank

A group of mutants consisting of a frog man, a man with metallic skin and a girl with angel wings were breaking into the bank. "I don't believe it. Where are the cops?" The Toad Man asked. "Have you seen what's going on out there?" The woman with wings said. "Yeah. Cops are spread way too thin." The Metal Man agreed. "Well that's why I'm here to pick up the slack." Sheen announced himself while sitting on a counter. The mutants froze and stared at Sheen. "Are you guys new at this? This is the part where you yell. Hey it's the Flash. Get him!"

"Get him!" The Metal Man ordered. The winged woman flew at Sheen; Sheen rushed at her and knocked her out with a single punch. The Toad Man extended his tongue and wrapped his tongue around Sheen's wrist. "Sorry frog man. I don't do tongue on the first date." Sheen ran around him, tying the Toad Man up with his own tongue before phasing out of the Toad Man's grip. "Nighty night." Sheen said as he knocked the Toad Man out with a punch. The Metal Man charged at Sheen and tried to punch him, but Sheen easily dodged him. Sheen super sped behind him and placed his hand on the Metal Man's back. Sheen vibrated his molecules and the Metal Man phased through the floor leaving him only at shoulder length. The Metal Man tried to free himself. "Struggle all you want Steel Jaw. It doesn't matter how strong you are. Can't do anything without any leverage." Sheen then called the Compound. "This is Flash. Bank robbers are done. Need me anywhere else." AJ answered. "No the situation seems under control, you can head back if you…" Something zoomed past Sheen taking his communicator off of his wrist.

The Compound

AJ, Brett, and Nate just lost Sheen's transmission. "Hey Sheen! Sheen! We lost the signal." AJ called out. "Something's wrong. I need to get out there." Nate said. "Do you think you can give me my speed?" He asked Brett. "Yeah, I can." Brett replied. "But why…?!" Nate stated. "I have a gut feeling. We need to hurry."

Retroville Bank

"What the…?!" Sheen said in shock when he noticed his communicator missing. "Hello there, Flash." The female speedster greeted Sheen. Sheen turned around to see a woman who looked like she was in her mid to late teens wearing a suit similar to his except her colors were reversed. "Huh, Hi there. I see you're a fan. But you got the colors all wrong." The girl used super speed to snap the necks of the Winged Woman and Toad Man. She then sped over to the Metal Man and sliced his head clean off with her vibrated hand. "You're a speedster." Sheen commented. The speedster smiled. "Catch me if you can Flash." She said as she ran out. Sheen immediately followed her. Sheen chased the mysterious speedster across the city, eventually stopping at the community center soccer pitch. "Who are you?" Sheen asked. "You're the greatest enemy." The speedster replied. The speedster charged straight for Sheen and knocked him into the ground before Sheen could react. "It's so sad seeing you like this. So weak. So pathetic." She taunted him. Sheen got up and rushed at the speedster and tried giving her two punches, the speedster easily dodged him and gave him two punches to the kidney and gut. "Tell me Flash, have you learned how to do this yet." The speedster ran around Sheen with her body crackling with electricity, before Sheen knew it the speedster grabbed a bolt of lightning and tossed it at Sheen, blasting into the ground. Sheen got back up and glared at her, she smiled back at him. The two speedsters charged at each other and began their battle. Sheen fired a barrage of punches at the female speedster, she easily dodged them while keeping a smug smile on her face. The female speedster gave Sheen a roundhouse kick; Sheen managed to guard himself using his arms. Sheen tried to run to gain some distance, the speedster quickly caught up to him and grabbed his leg and began slamming him repeatedly into the ground, Sheen phased out of her grip but the speedster quickly reacted by punching Sheen through one of the goal nets and into the community center cracking the wall up. Before Sheen knew it the female speedster tackled him straight through the building, Sheen tried running, scaling up a five story apartment complex. The speedster quickly caught up to him, grabbed his arm and threw him into the street. Sheen bounced off the pavement, the speedster quickly made it back to the ground and kicked Sheen away before he could land. Sheen while flying off regained his composure and made a break for it. The speedster caught up with him and the duo had a high velocity fight across the city which ended with Sheen being punched into the bronze statue of the city's founder Jeremiah Hart.

Sheen struggled to get up. "This is insane. She's barely giving me time to breathe." The female speedster arrived and pinned Sheen to the statue by grabbing this throat. "I can't believe this. After all the times I lost to you. All I have to do is kill you now." She shouted with pride as she vibrated her fist to finish Sheen off. Sheen tried to phase himself free but the speedster counted by going intangible. "Say goodbye Flash!" She smiled. At that moment Nate wearing a disguise super sped in and tackled the speedster off of Sheen, while also attaching an inhibitor collar to her. "No speed for you." Nate smirked. "You think." She smirked, the speedster vibrated herself out of the collar. "How did you…?!" Nate said, astonished. "Those ancient collars aren't strong enough to hold me." She replied. "Then maybe that is." Nate smirked pointing to the syringe in her back. The speedster checked her back and noticed she had been injected by something. Nate smiled. "Nanites. Courtesy of Cyborg delivering a high frequency pulse that's disabling your speed. You won't be running around for quite a while." The speedster noticed her powers were diminishing, so she decided to leave before she could be captured. "You okay?" Nate asked. "The only thing that hurts is my pride… And maybe my ribs." Sheen replied, rubbing his sides. "Let's get out of here before she gets back." Nate suggested. "Right." Sheen agreed. "How did you know to bring those nanites?" Sheen wondered. "Cyborg caught the first half of your fight through security cameras. He gave me the nanites as insurance."

The Compound

Sheen and Nate made it back to the Compound where they met up with the rest of the team. "Sheen, we heard what happened. Are you okay?" Libby asked. "Yeah. Just tired." Sheen replied as he sat down. "Well this has been an eventful night. First we have to deal with a bunch of mutants rampaging all over town. Now we have a rogue speedster." Jamey commented. "That girl wasn't like the other mutants we fought today." Sheen commented. "I agree. She's very experienced. She had a counter for every move Sheen had and had a few moves Sheen didn't know he could do." AJ agreed. "Where did she come from?" Sid asked. "That's a good question. AJ can you use Grid?" Jamey asked. "I tried IDing her with the body cam on Sheen's suit but nothing." AJ replied. "What was the mask disrupting your computer or something?" Timmy asked. "No, my software can eliminate features like that to get at least a 90% accurate facial description. Not accounting for things like scars. The thing is I checked everywhere and it's like this girl came out of nowhere." AJ explained. "What do you think you can tell us about her?" Jamey asked. "The way she spoke it's like she knew me. It was like she met me before." Sheen explained. Timmy had a theory and he wanted to confirm if it was true. "Sheen, have you ever had a weird feeling before?"

"What kind of weird feeling?" Sheen asked. "How do I explain this in a way you'll understand? Have you ever felt like you've been splashed by water even when you're not wet?" Timmy asked. "Now that you mention it. I have. I felt it last night and once a couple of months ago." Sheen replied. "Did you get that feeling before or after I got here?" Timmy asked. "I think it was the day you got here." Sheen asked. "Just maybe…" Timmy said to himself. "Elky, get me my Chroniton dust." He ordered his apprentice. "Right." Elky agreed. Using her powers Elky made a bag appear from nowhere. She pulled out a bag containing dust and put it in Timmy's hand. "Thanks." He thanked Elky. Timmy poured some of the dust onto his hand and blew it into Sheen's face. Sheen coughed and tried wiping the dust off. "What the heck?!" Glowing splotches formed on his body. "What the hell's this?!" He asked. "Just as I thought." Timmy said. "You mind telling the class what you learned?" Jamey asked. "We're dealing with a time traveler. And our boy here is time sensitive." Timmy announced. "Time sensitive." Sheen questioned. "It means you can feel the ripple effects from time travel." Timmy explained.

"What? This is nonsense. Time travel isn't real!" AJ debated. "Sorry to rust your shorts tin man but it is. How do you think I got here?" Timmy replied. "It's true." Sid agreed. "How do you know this speedster's a time traveler?" Jamey asked. "The way Sheen described his interaction with her was as if she had known him. Plus when you add her advanced fighting style you could tell she has had experience fighting speedsters, especially Sheen. She had a counter for everything he had. And lastly those marks on Sheen's suit are chronitons, time travel residue." Timmy explained. "How is all of this even possible?" Brett asked. "I didn't want to tell Sheen this because of all the horrible implications it could cause but if Sheen were to move faster than light he would break the time barrier." Timmy explained. "Time barrier?" Libby questioned. "It's like the sound barrier but instead of a sonic boom you tear a hole in the space-time continuum allowing you to go anywhere and when you desire." Timmy explained. "Why didn't you tell us about this, we could've used Sheen to stop Savage." Jamey asked. "I'm sorry but you can't. Traveling to the past is extremely dangerous and can cause thousands of unintended consequences. My father Cosmo told me once he used a spell to travel back in time one year to remember where he hid a book he liked to read. When he got back Atlantis had sunk into the ocean."

"So time travel's a big no, no." Sheen commented. "How are we going to deal with a speedster?" Jamey suddenly had an idea. "I have a plan." Jamey said. "We'll…" At that moment the alarms began to sound off again. "You've got to be kidding me!" Jamey said, running to the monitors. "We have more mutants. Everyone get ready. Sid, go to City Hall, Carl, the public pool, Libby, the mall, Timmy and Elky, go to the Sun's Hotel and AJ I need you at the park. Everyone clear?" Everyone was ready to go out again. "Right." Everyone but Sheen agreed. "What about me?" Sheen asked. Jamey looked at Sheen. "Sheen, you are going to deal with the speedster." Nate walked up to Jamey. "Where do you want me?" Nate asked. "Sorry Nate but I want Brett to run tests on you. I don't feel comfortable sending you out into the field until I know your limits." Jamey was not going to risk Nate's life. "But…" Nate tried to object. "It's okay Nate. Trust Jamey. She's the world's smartest woman for a reason." Jamey smiled at Sheen. "Okay." Jamey said. "Here's what you're going to do."

Retroville High School, 20:57

Sheen was standing in the middle of the Football field waiting for the evil speedster to show up. He didn't have to wait long, the speedster showed up and stood across the field. "Glad you could show up." Sheen announced. "Where are your friends?" the speedster asked. "I thought after I trounced you last time, you'd bring back up." She smirked. "Don't need it." Sheen said cockily. The speedster quickly got annoyed and prepared to attack but Sheen held out his hand to stop her. "Wait. I think you owe me an explanation." He said. "What?!" The speedster said, surprised. "You came all the way from the future to kill me. I think I at least deserve to know why." Sheen explained. "So you know. Fine, I'll tell you." She agreed as she removed her mask. "My name is Elena Santiago, I come from the year 2164. In the future I am your greatest enemy. We're opposites, reverses of one another, you are the Flash, and I am the Reverse Flash."

"Why do you hate me so much?" Sheen asked. "I didn't at first. In Fact I was your biggest fan. I loved everything about you. I wanted to be your friend, I wanted to be the Flash. I even found a way to duplicate your powers but as I traveled through time I realized, I was never going to be the Flash, I was never going to be your friend, I was destined to be your enemy. So I accepted my fate and embraced it, now I've dedicated my life to making yours a living hell. But I could never beat you in the future so I decided to travel to a time where you're younger, weaker and far less experienced."

"I see. So you're completely insane." Sheen commented. "I'm done talking." Elena said as she put her mask on. "Time to die, Flash." Elena rushed at Sheen and went in with a punch, Sheen smiled and caught her fist and he punched her to the ground. "How did you…?!" She questioned. Sheen pulled out an empty vial of Rush and smiled. "Rush, for all your super speed needs." Elena got back up and Sheen smiled. "Catch me if you can." Sheen raced off and Elena immediately followed the two raced across the city and Sheen was easily out pacing her but felt the effects of the Rush wearing off as he began to slow down. "Come on." He groaned. "Just a little further." Sheen eventually led Elena into a warehouse. Without any words the two speedsters began fighting. At first the battle seemed even but as the Rush in Sheen's system began to wear off, Sheen began to lose ground. Sheen got an idea, Sheen created ten after images and circled Elena, Elena attacked the after images and missed Sheen, Sheen saw an opening and kicked Elena into a wall. "Just a little longer." Sheen said to himself. Elena sprung back into action and the fight continued, Sheen tried the after image trick again but this time Elena chose right and pinned Sheen to a wall. "As much fun as this has been. It's time to die, Flash!" She smirked as she vibrated her hand. "Now!" Sheen yelled. Four separate devices formed on each of the walls. A flash of blinding light followed, hitting the two speedsters and in an instant they were both frozen in blocks of ice.

The Compound, 21:48

Sheen was being thawed by Sid's heat vision. "Remember Sid. Not too much heat, we don't want to roast him." Jamey said. "I got it, Neutron." Sid replied. "Ok." Jamey held her hands up in surrender. Sid finished thawing Sheen out. Sheen gasped for air as soon as he was freed. "Did it work?" He asked. "Yeah it did." Jamey replied. "Where is she?" Sheen asked. "Currently on ice in the basement." Jamey replied. "I'm glad we got her. Just wished I didn't need to be frozen to do it." Sheen said, rubbing his arms to get warmer. "Sorry, inhibitor collars don't work on her and the nanites are temporary. This was the best thing I could come up with." Jamey replied. "What are we going to do with her?" Carl asked. "We'll figure something out later. Right now we need to focus on all these mutants roaming around." Libby asked. "What do we know? After Baby squeezed some information out of some thugs at Spanky's Bar, I found out there's this new drug on the street Mutant-X. We need to do everything in our power to find the suppliers and end this." Jamey said. "And I'm sure you'll figure it out." Commander Baker said coming out of the shadows. "Commander Baker, it's a pleasure as always." Jamey greeted him. "How are Brent and Nick doing?" Sid asked. "They're doing fine." He replied. "How did you get in? What are you doing here? And how long were you in the shadows waiting for a cool entrance." Jamey asked. "Please Jamey, I'm the director of the biggest espionage agency on the planet. You think your security can stop me." Jamey huffed. "And you manage to stay so humble." Jamey replied. "I came here for Nathan. I want to offer him a position on N-Force. We could use someone like him on the team." Everyone looked at Jamey for a moment before looking back at Commander Baker. "N-Force." Libby questioned. "Yeah, they insisted." Baker replied. "So what do you say?" Nate thought for a second. "I'll do it." Sheen was a little heart broken. "Nate. You just got back. Why are you going?" Sheen said to his brother. "Look, Sheen, I joined Savage because I was jealous of you. And honestly that hasn't changed. I need to figure out who I am and my place in the world and this might be the best way to do it." Nate replied. "Okay, just be safe okay." Sheen hugged his brother. "Don't worry I'll be back for Thanksgiving. No way I'm missing Dad's Turkey." Nate smiled. "Then let's go." Baker said as he and Nate walked off.

Jamey brought Elky over to the side. Jamey had heard Elk and Carl patched things up, but felt that she finally needed to apologize for punching her a week ago. "Elk. I know that this is overdue but sorry for decking you last week." Jamey was still cringing everytime she saw her handy work on her face. Elky was not expecting this. Truthfully she did not blame Jamey for what she did. Honestly she was surprised that Jamey was the ONLY one to do that. "You have nothing to apologize for. I did deserve it." Jamey smiled at the girl. "Still doesn't make it right. I knew you got your heart broken too that night and with everything that was going on with Savage that night I just lost it and it came out on you. Not an excuse, but that's what was going on in my head." Elky really did understand why Jamey had done what she did. She had hurt her brother, her best friend, and Savage was a sore subject for everyone but mostly for Timmy, Sid, and Jamey so tension was high. "I was really hoping the two of you would work things out that night. Honestly, you are really good for him. I have never seen him have more self confidence and self worth. It's been amazing to see someone see him for the amazing guy my brother is. So to see all the stript away. I'm sorry I lost it on you." Elky felt touched by how Jamey felt about her relationship with Carl. She did not want to screw it up a second time because she knew that there would be no third chances. "He's lucky to have a sister like you." Jamey blushed. "I don't think so sometimes I feel like I do more harm than good. Besides, I'm the lucky one." Jamey said with a frown. Elky put a hand on the genius girl's shoulder. "Trust me. He is. And I don't blame you for hitting me. I also hope that while I build my relationship back up with Carl that maybe we can do the same. I want to have a good friendship with his sister since you are an important part of his life. Would that be ok?" Jamey smiled at the girl. "I would really like that." Elky just smiled and hugged the girl who returned the action. Unknown to them Sid and Carl had followed the two and heard the conversation with their super hearing. The two boys were really happy that the girls had worked things out.

Somewhere in the Desert

The infamous villain Stone was lying down in a cave. His body had cracks all over his body. His left arm had crumbled away. Savage and Brick teleported before him. "Captain Saunders, it's good to see you again." Stone instantly attacked Savage on sight, pinning him to a wall. "You dare show your face to me again!" Stone stormed. "I have a proposition for you." Savage gasped. "Enough lies!" Stone prepared to kill Savage but Savage blasted himself free. "I said I have a proposition for you!" Savage yelled. "What?" Stone asked. Savage snapped his fingers and a giant canister containing a woman inside appeared. "Lilly." Stone said in shock. "How?" Savage moved towards the desperate man. "After that mess you made I cloned her a new body. But the memories haven't been implanted yet. Here's the deal. You work for me and you get your wife back. Deal." Stone stood up. "Deal."

Somewhere in the Arctic

A group of scientists discovered a Greek looking ship frozen in the ice. They boarded the vessel and discovered a warrior looking girl dressed in Amazonian armor frozen in ice. "I think we made the discovery of the century."

New developments are coming next. Look out for the next chapter to see new faces, tensions will rise, lines will be crossed.
