A teenage girl opens her eyes and finds herself in a tent. She raises herself up and looks around. "Where am I?"
"You are in Brockton Bay." A girl around her age enters the tent in a white robe with a hood and scarf covering her face. This is Panacea, healer of the New Wave. "Good to know you are awake. You don't look like you were one of the Capes. It is dangerous to be here. I'm sure someone can take you out of the Leviathan area."
"Leviathan? What is that?" She asks and Panacea is confused by that question. She looks at this mysterious girl and notices a bulge on her stomach. She was not pregnant when she healed her and doesn't appear obese. That is when she notices a tattoo on her neck. It appears to be a C but she quickly realizes what it truly means.
"A creature I hope you never meet. I am Panacea. I healed you. I'm sorry but I got to call someone." Panacea steps out of the tent. The teenager tries to remember anything from before she woke up and can't recall anything. Nothing about Brockton Bay or this Leviathan that she is supposed to stay away from. She goes into her pockets and takes out a folded piece of paper. She unfolds it and finds writing in it.
"Taylor Hebert, good luck." That is all written. She places back into her pocket and thinks out loud. "My name is Taylor? And was saved by Panacea? Was the Leviathan responsible for my lost memories?"
The renamed Taylor Hebert gets up and walks out of the tent. She finds herself in a city that appears to have been attacked by something huge. A lot of buildings are either destroyed or flooded. She feels her feet are wet and looks down to see her feet in water. In fact, everything looks to be in foot deep water.
"No Vicky, I'm serious." Taylor sees her savior talking on the phone. Her back is turned from Taylor. "She is a Case 53. Tattoo and everything. I'm going to take her to Carol. Maybe she can help find her parents. I know it is unlikely but we should check."
"Excuse me, what is that?" Taylor points at the sky to an odd looking sphere. Panacea puts her phone down and looks at where she is pointing.
"That is the moon. Now please, I am on the phone."
Taylor stops listening to her and looks up to notice it is night. The moon's light shines over the destroyed city and she stares at it. "The moon looks so beautiful. I wish I could go there."
"Yes. I'll be back so-" An explosion knocks Panacea a couple of feet forward. She turns around and finds a crater, where Taylor once was. Shouting is heard on her phone. She picks it up to assure Vicky that she is okay. However, they may need to find a missing Cape.
Taylor opens her eyes and finds she cannot breath. Clutching her neck, unable to inhale or exhale.
'AIR! NEED AIR!'
That is when Taylor finds her breath within a forcefield of her own creation. Taking deep breathes, Taylor enjoys both the air and the ground. She kneels and puts her hand on the ground.
"Course and rough. Like sand." She grabs a handful of the dust and watches it float away from her hand. Then she turns and sees the Earth. Taylor finds herself staring at the beautiful blue ocean and green land. Even from a distance, the planet memorizes Taylor. She walks away and notices something ahead. A building on a moon?
So she walks forwards. Every time Taylor is about exit a barrier, she creates another and walks through it. She does this until she finds herself in front of the base.
Taylor teleports into it and finds herself staring in the eyes of gorillas. All of them staring at her as well.
"Human!" They all shout and one of them uppercuts Taylor. This slams her into a wall and she teleports out of the room into the next one. Though Taylor creates a field inside that room and she looks through the window to see the gorillas become blurs. She walks away to continue her adventure of this facility.
Taylor looks around to see destroyed computers and scattered paper all over the floor.
She picks up one of the papers and tries to read it. "H-horizon... Lum... Colony!"
Taylor congratulates herself for her stellar spelling. She teleports to another room and faces a giant orange ape at the center. He looks down at this strange human with a sphere for a stomach.
Simon grabs Taylor and tosses her through a computer screen. She teleports behind Simon the orange ape and kicks him. He goes for a swing only to hit nothing but air. Taylor reappears below Simon and punches him on the stomach. She teleports again with Simon looking all over. Simon goes for a punch at his 8 o'clock just when Taylor shows herself.
Her eyes widen when a giant fist hits her chest and slams her through a door with it's henges blew off. 'He knew where I was going to teleport?'
Taylor looks ahead to see Simon charging at her with a giant lever-action rifle in his hands. She quickly gets up and runs away. The Case 53 teleports through a door right into the room where she put the time field. It dissipates and Taylor teleports straight out of the moon. Simon sends the door flying and sees Taylor disappear, leaving ape skeletons. Apes that were his friends and comrades that took over the Horizon Lunar Colony. Now they are dead and reduced to bones.
Simon looks at the bones as other apes enter the room. He shouts for everyone to hear. "The humans killed our friends! Killed Hypatia! We wanted to live alone and they will keep coming! Let's bring the battle to them! All of humanity will fall!"
The Ape Colonists roar in agreement.
Taylor appears and collapses on top of a car. She hits her head pretty hard and is in a daze.
"Whoa! Hey, are you alright?!"
"It would seem she is of need of medical attention. Do not worry miss, we are hear to assist you."
A child and a metallic but kind voice are the last things Taylor hears before she passes out.
