I have imagined and designed a multiverse using my own characters as well as characters from some of my favorite TV shows or games (PS. Anything based on something will be posted here and can be treated as general fanfiction).
While all Universes have been designed only some will have stories written about them and even fewer still, will be posted on here.
So with that out of the way, Welcome to my Blog full of stories!Ditto51http://www.blogger.com/profile/04343414978085352412noreply@blogger.comBlogger220125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044826392251537686.post-8782803989893188042016-10-27T23:29:00.000+01:002016-10-27T23:29:12.413+01:00Book Updates for the main series<h2>
A Past to Remember</h2>
<div>
This has had a massive retooling recently, with the main restructuring done around the overarching plot, with the central plot now revolving around the robots rather than switching to the Vinto and other Universes around halfway through. Because of this, the main characters of the book have also been retooled to:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Thomas "Tom" Cane / Derek Davis / Timothy "Tim" Ritchie / Thomas "Tom" Gerald</li>
<li>Emily Rose</li>
<li>Jacob "Jack" Penguin</li>
<li>Emma Jackson</li>
<li>Cameron Jakes</li>
<li>Connor Potato</li>
<li>Erin Potato</li>
<li>Oliver "Ollie" Cane</li>
<li>Dudley</li>
</ul>
Leanne, Josie and Ed have been demoted to recurring in order to focus the plot, Bobby has been dropped because he is simply an AI. Vicky's, Darren's, and Fred's role have been substantially shrunk between versions while Ralph and Lisa have just been written out completely along with a number of minor characters who aren't even involved in any of the central plot threads any more.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And further cuts may be made later on with Erin and Ollie becoming smaller and smaller within the grand scheme of things. On the other hand, Dudley is a lot more involved with the plot, and as such has been promoted to main character status and is also joined with the introduction of his own pair of recurring characters in Ramona and Misty, two Zoombians who work with him to replicate the protectors abilities.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of these, Tom, Jack and Emma are main characters in "Ashes", while Dudley is a main character in "The Unfortunates" along with Darren and a character who is Jack's brother called Joe Tim Morgan.</div>
<h3>
Official Synopsis 2.0</h3>
<div>
Having crash landed in the year 3000, Tom and his three man team much find a way to not only return to their own time, but also rescue those who have been abducted by their own creations. This all without having any idea as to why they crashed in the first place, nor why the time machine won't start.</div>
<h2>
Strike the Heart</h2>
<div>
Still the same, just written better, this time with a much more structured set of goals and restraints whereby the prequel aspects can shine in offering the necessary backstory. Your main cast this time around consists of:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Thomas "Tom" Cane</li>
<li>Jacob "Jack" Penguin</li>
<li>Emily Rose</li>
<li>Elizabeth "Lizzy" Grey</li>
<li>Geoff</li>
<li>Jackie</li>
<li>Matt</li>
</ul>
Of this lot, only Lizzy goes on to appear in another of the announced books. In this case appearing in "A Past to Remember". As previously stated, Dudley makes a guest appearance here, and strangely so does Emma in a recurring manner.</div>
<h3>
Official Synopsis 2.0</h3>
<div>
Mistrust plagues the protectors of 2980, with main of the organisation turning on one another within the year. However, the leaders of the group, Geoff and Jackie, encounter the first group of insurrectionist in the form of their son Tom and daughter Lizzy, who grant them a deadline of December of the same year before they take control and leave the organisation in ruin.</div>
<h2>
Ashes</h2>
<div>
Okay, I'll admit, I've done nothing here. Like seriously nothing, I can barely even remember what happens...as it stands the main characters that I'm sure about are:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Thomas "Tom" Cane</li>
<li>Jacob "Jack" Penguin</li>
<li>Naomi</li>
<li>Emma Jackson</li>
</ul>
Although Dudley will drop in for recurring appearances throughout, seeing as the main enemy of the protectors – other than each other – is the Zoombians.</div>
<h2>
The Unfortunates</h2>
<div>
Set immediately before "A Past to Remember", this actually tells the story that Tom and Jack forgot in the initial parts of "A Past to Remember" and is meant as an explainer to what happened in more detail. The main characters who you'll acompany are:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Thomas "Tom" Cane</li>
<li>Jacob "Jack" Penguin</li>
<li>Dudley</li>
<li>Joe Tim Morgan</li>
<li>Darren Jenkins</li>
</ul>
Hey look, Darren's still a main character somewhere! Anyways, the story basically explains Tom's journey to find a herb to heal two comatose protectors in the present before all hell breaks loose. Can't really say anymore because spoilers...</div>
<h2>
General Notes</h2>
<div>
Just to put this here, the other series on here may be pulled down and redone at somepoint, or just scrapped entirely. For example, the "Covenant Invasion of Earth" crossover with "A Past to Remember" is no longer a thing as it pulls characters from events where they don't actually exist. A few will remain, such as:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Family Reunion;</li>
<li>The NCIS rewrite;</li>
<li>Numbers – which will continue...eventually, especially now that the main saga stuff has moved away from it.</li>
</ul>
And until rewritten, these will remain up:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Power Core – I'll keep the plot the same in earlier chapters so that season 4 can continue while the rewrite is happening...;</li>
<li>Camp Terror and its associated areas;</li>
<li>Covenant Invasion of Earth.</li>
</ul>
Everything else will either be rewritten or scraped entirely, although notices will go up for both of these.</div>

A week after the terror attack, Tom and the others
had decided upon their various course of actions, with Tom disengaging any and
all protector protocols, essentially disbanding the entire team in one move.
However, those who remained knowledgeable about the team weren’t all too keen
to following the same plan, and some just didn’t want to remember anymore. Erin
was one of these people, having come to Tom immediately after the attack to ask
him to wipe her memories, although he sent her away initially, telling her to
calm down and think about it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
And think she had, she’d spent every waking movement
for the week since thinking about it. And she’d decided that she wants to
forget, at least for a little while, so that she can be normal, be human. Tom reluctantly
agreed and had Connie bury her memories deep, somewhere only Connie could find,
he then asked her to manipulate what remained of Erin’s memory to include her
little sister being born as to make her life make some level of sense.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Are
you going to de-age her?’ Connie asked while reorganising Erin’s memories.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I’m
going to have to, there is no way that you can piece together another ten years’
worth of memories in order to explain to her why she is fifteen,’ Tom sighed. ‘No,
we have to change her to an age that makes sense for what she will remember,
which is that of a ten year old.’ <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘So
what are we going to do about Jackie?’ Connie questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘We
worry about her later. For now we worry about how many dead protectors there
are that may have come back, there is no way that it is only Claire and Gemma
who returned,’ Tom explained.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Have
you looked for Maddi and Ed yet?’ she asked almost as quickly as the thought came
to her head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I’ve
looked but I’m not holding out hope,’ Tom described. ‘If my theory is correct,
then they were the centre of the blast that shattered the barrier, thus when
they died it was permanent.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘How’s
that fair?’ she snapped.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Stay
calm, you don’t want to erase the wrong thing now, do you,’ Tom chuckled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Ha
ha,’ she snarled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘To
answer your question: No, it isn’t fair. But it is the way the world works so
we just have to live with it and work to ensure it never happens again,’ Tom
stated sadly. ‘How long do you reckon?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Half
an hour, why?’ she questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Might
as well give her family a head start,’ Tom shrugged before turning and leaving.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
With DiNozzo dead and Tom quitting, Gibbs’ team
was a tad undermanned, until Emma showed up for in the office one day and
managed to persuade Leon, the director of NCIS, to allow both her and Cameron
to join Gibbs’ team as protector liaisons in order to help track down the
individuals responsible for the terror attack in Devon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Does
your dad know you’re here?’ he asked when she sat down at Tom’s old desk.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘My
dad isn’t interested in hunting Jackie right now,’ Emma admitted. ‘He’s more interested
in figuring out why the dead are rising than tracking down the person
responsible for the countless deaths. Plus he seems to be far more occupied
with looking after Connie than me.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Maybe
it’s because she’s on his side,’ Cameron suggested. ‘She seems to be very
willing to go along with the dead are rising ploy, and how do we know they’re
not right? Imagine if we find and kill Jackie and then she returns from the
dead again.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘So
what, you think figuring out the dead returning thing will help us in the long
run?’ Emma questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I’m
not saying that, I’m just saying that their logic is sound. Four groups of us
have branched off, so perhaps all four are what we need to stop her once and
for all,’ Cameron shrugged. ‘And remember, he may be working with Connie more,
but that may be because you’re better branching off and tracking Jackie down
while Connie is far better at researching with her immense database of memories
for her to search through.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
guess,’ Emma admitted before turning to Gibbs, ‘What do you want me to do then
Boss?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Whatever
helps us catch the bitch,’ he replied simply. ‘You have your methods and you
can work outside of the law because you’re hunting another protector so you do
whatever it is you do best.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Carl’s words hung with Connor, but he knew he
couldn’t trust the others with the information, fearing that Emma could be the
one responsible with her white hair while also fearing what Tom would think.
The only person he informed of his whereabouts was Jack who agreed that he
shouldn’t tell Emma or Tom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
However, he knew that he would require help so he approached
someone who he knew to house an underlying suspicion of his central suspect,
Josie. He just wasn’t expecting her to have a plus one.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘So
a terrorist blamed his terrorising on a white haired girl who controlled his
mind?’ Josie laughed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Come
on, I know that you have a mistrust of Naomi,’ he complained.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
am, and I agree with you,’ Josie back tracked. ‘I’m just laughing because it
took a terrorist who tried to kill you to tell you that Naomi took control of
his mind for you to see the problem.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘It
was too specific of a detail for me not to believe him, plus he knew I was
going to kill him anyway,’ Connor sighed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘If
we’re going to do this, no one else knows,’ she decided. ‘Unless we bring them
into the fold.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Jack
knows what I’m hunting, but he isn’t going to tell anyone,’ Connor stated as
someone knocked on the door. ‘Expecting someone?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘No…’
Josie replied suspiciously as she approached the door slowly, as she pulled the
door open until she could see boy stood behind it her heart skipped a beat. ‘Leo?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Hey
Jose,’ he smiled sweetly. ‘Long time no see.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
She didn’t saying anything in reply, instead she just
threw herself out the door and into his arms and kissing him. Not stopping her,
Leo picked her up and moved into the house, gesturing for Connor to make sure
no one followed with his free hand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
When Josie finally released him, he explained what
had happened after he’d been resurrected and how he’d managed to escape from
Naomi detention centre for resurrected individuals through his father causing a
violent distraction that likely got him discarded into Naomi’s vacuum room.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘She
has a vacuum room!’ Connor exclaimed, as the realization of what the room was
hit him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yeah,
anyone who she gave a mission to who also didn’t play ball was banished to suffocate
and freeze as their entire air supply was torn from them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Has
she gone that far off the deep end?’ Josie questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Her
mother is in said vacuum room…so yes,’ Leo explained. ‘So you guys are hunting
her?’ he questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
believe that she took control of some random people, turned them into
terrorists and had them attack the campsite Tom was staying at, perhaps in a
way to divert his attention onto Jackie, although that may not have worked out
entirely as he is focusing more on the resurrected dead as opposed to Jackie,’
Connor detailed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘This
is Tom we’re talking about. Emma at NCIS tracking Jackie, him working on the
dead and tracking my dad no doubt, and then you guys tracking Naomi,’ Leo
chuckled. ‘No. He is focused on everything, he’s just separating the tasks
amongst us without us even knowing it.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Then
why is Jack heading to the future?’ Josie questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Because
the future of the future has some interesting characteristics, seeing as to
nobody in the past is from there, both sides of the timeline collapse into one,
as such it’s the barren wasteland we know, while also having aspects of the new
timeline that we created here, in the past. If Jackie leaves a trace, then Jack’ll
find.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘So
even when he isn’t manipulating what we do, he’s manipulating what we do?’
Connor groaned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘No,
you all decided your course of action, he just didn’t stop you as he knew that
you’d need all four cogs turning in unison in order to catch and stop Naomi and
Jackie,’ Leo shrugged.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Tom
repairs the barrier, Emma and Jack kill Jackie, and we find Naomi and hand her
to Tom on a silver platter,’ Josie summed up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Basically,’
Leo agreed as Josie pointed to the stairs, at which point she mouthed to Connor
that they’ll start the next day.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Jack had recruited only two people to accompany
him to the future that they had no knowledge of, Emily and Leanne. However,
both were extremely willing to come along, with both having their reasons for
hating Jackie and wanting her dead. For Emily the main reason for this was that
Jackie turned on her almost as fast as she’d turned on Tom, as she feared that
Emily would defect. For Leanne, it was because Jackie had sent her and her
sister on a mission to kill Tom, Emily and Jack after Tom ran away initially.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The future that they travelled to limited their
travel, with anything off world being impossible, and certain areas of the
Earth were so distorted due to the merger of timelines that any attempt to
transverse them would have resulted in instantaneous death. Likewise, any
voyage into space would result in your ship being met with a sea of nothing
that caused your craft to just be deleted out of existence.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
the hell happened to the Earth?’ Leanne asked, the terror and unease in her
voice showing more than she’d hoped.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I’m
guessing two timelines combining into one led to various parts of the planet
being important to one or both of the timelines, but at the same time they
couldn’t be combined, so you just end up with whatever the hell those temporal
distortions are,’ Jack shrugged. ‘Come on, let’s find what we’re looking for
and get out of this forbidden time.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Where
to first then boss?’ Emily smiled sweetly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘The
Catacombs,’ Jack responded. ‘They existed in both timelines, as did the
basement, so in theory our monitoring equipment from one or the other should be
there.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘No
satellites,’ Leanne pointed upwards, just to prove a point. ‘All we have is the
sun and the moon.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘We
also have the observation relays on the moon as well as the codes and
schematics for the Zoombian craft that is housed within,’ Emily stated energetically.
‘We can use that right?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Maybe
not the superweapon bit, but definitely the observation relays,’ Jack smiled as
they began making their way across the sky, towards the town of Newton Abbot.<o:p></o:p></div>

people aren’t too confused, the following chapter is written in first person
from the perspective of Lizzy.<o:p></o:p></span></u></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
It’s been a year since Tom cleared the campsite of
terrorists and recruited me onto his team to track down all of the resurrected
protectors in order to work out how they had come back from the dead. We’d made
a little progress in that department, but not nearly as much as we’d have
liked. However, our investigation was thrust onto the back burner when Jack came
to us saying that he’d found a data cache in the year 3067 which gave him
Jackie’s movements in the past, including her currently location.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Tom ordered Connie to begin working, and attempted
to make me do the same, but we both have the same history with that bitch that
claims to be our mother, as such he allowed me to tag along. After around a
half hour of arguing that is…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Anywho, basically the data gathered pointed
towards a leisure centre just outside of a secondary school called Kirk Balk
Academy, apparently the previous owners of the place had run into money and
then vanished, leaving the centre to fall into ruin, for the most part. In
order to make it look like it was abandoned, Jackie had let the outside
deteriorate, only patching up any holes that formed. The inside, however, was a
different story. The walls were white, and the entire thing was as sterile as
could be, like there was nothing that hadn’t been bathed in one type of
disinfectant or another.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
As we slowly marched inwards, a sense of unease
developed between the three of us as we began to suspect a surprise attack from
Jackie or more of her mind controlled lackeys. But nothing came. No burst water
pipes. No spray of bullets. No sudden appearances of Jackie. Nothing. At all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
We eventually came to where the swimming pool was
once situated, although it had since been paved over by white slabs, where we
found something that we’d hoped we’d never discover Jackie having: A PPA, or
something of similar design anyway. And for those of you who don’t know a PPA
is essentially a small semi-portable personal power amplifier that is fine
tuned to each individual’s powers. However, unlike ours, Jackie’s appeared to
be permanently be stuck within the leisure centre, whereas ours were attached
to small hovercraft that we could use in a much more offensive manner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Bobby,
run diagnostics,’ Tom ordered as he attached his watch to the computer
terminal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Running,’
Bobby reported as his catlike avatar materialised on the computer screen.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Lizzy,
Jack, see if you can find something that might point us to where she went
next,’ Tom suggested as he began going over the data with Bobby.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Jack and I nodded in acceptance and then began
moving around the room, searching for anything that might point to Jackie’s
whereabouts. However, what I found wasn’t anything pointing to her ever leaving
the place.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Um…Tom,’
I shouted out of the makeshift kitchen that had been sealed behind an extremely
heavy automatic door. ‘Kettle’s freshly boiled. She’s here.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Jack,
can you hide us?’ I heard Tom asked as I used my telekinesis to pull the kettle
to me to use as a weapon seeing as there was quite literally nothing else
present within the room.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘This
amplifier is strange,’ Bobby stated simply as Jack waved his hands through the
air and seemingly disappeared from sight for a few seconds<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Elaborate,’
Tom sighed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘The
amplifier doesn’t work on all of her abilities, only on her mind control
ability,’ Bobby explained. ‘However, it is equally more powerful than yours,
focusing on one power, and being stationary allows for it to draw more power
from whatever power source she has ad then amplify her range, and maybe even
her maximum captivity.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Following this I became stressed out and paranoid
about where Jackie could’ve been hiding, however, this tuning out of Tom and
Bobby caused me to miss their warnings completely until Jackie was right on top
of me. As I realised she was behind me, I spun around and threw as much of the
boiled water into her, unfortunately quite a bit of it bounced back to me, and
then I realised that the water had hurt me more than it had hurt her as she was
able to control the water and ensure that it never actually touched her, bar a
few drops here and there.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You
really think water will work on me?’ she sneered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I’d
hoped,’ I chuckled nervously, before getting hit by the water that she had
taken control of. The force of the water sent me flying backwards and straight
into Jack who flew into the wall behind him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
really thought that you lot would’ve put up a much better fight,’ she laughed
before Tom blindsided her and essentially threw her into the door to the
kitchen. As I attempted to stand, he formed a sword of red, temporal energy
that seemed to be a much deep red than usual, possible as a result of Tom’s
anger that had been building up for the last year. And then he was gone, moving
faster than I’d ever seen him move before.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Jackie, however, seemed to somehow match his
speed, forming a sword out of ice, she disappeared into a blur and then
proceeded to rush around the room, and possibly even the school outside while
they tried to kill each other. Eventually they returned to the leisure centre,
just not through the door…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Without warning, the pair crashed through the
ceiling and plummeted downwards towards where the swimming pool was, although
they appeared to fall in slow motion, this might just be because my brain tried
to erase what happened next.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
I finished helping Jack to his feet, the adrenaline
from the fight wearing off and the burns beginning to show themselves, before
Jackie, who looked terrified of the direction that they were falling, and Tom
collided with the tiles in the centre of the room, which they subsequently
smashed through. While at first I thought I’d imagined the green flash that
appeared around Tom and Jackie, I later discovered that it was in fact Tom
forming a force field around himself to protect him from Jackie’s PPA’s core.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
They struck the core, which set off an immense
amount of energy that erupted outwards, engulfing me. Then Jack. Then the
school. And then Hoyland.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
I wouldn’t wake up again for another ten months…<o:p></o:p></div>

In the aftermath of the terror attack, the
protectors decided that it was time to leave their past behind them and move on
with their lives, especially since the threat of an alien invasion had been
eliminated, for at least ten years. Well, all but a few select protectors who
started up various investigations into thoughts that continued to nag at them.
Connor receded from his family into the shadows as he attempted to work out who
orchestrated the attack, focusing on the one fact that Carl had left him with,
a girl with white hair and the ability to control people. Thus his
investigation turned to Emma, the person responsible for Matt’s death a year
before.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Tom and Connie likewise found the sudden control
of thousands of people to be too hard to ignore, although their investigation
hinged on Jackie potentially still being alive as well as having something to
do with Claire’s and Gemma’s resurrection. This led them to a number of protectors
who they were either were told had died, or whom they had personally killed.
While investigating this, Tom attempted to locate his brother who’d
mysteriously disappeared during the extraction of the civilians.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Emma started working with NCIS in an attempt to
find the people who arranged the whole ordeal after a slot on the team was
unexpectedly vacated when DiNozzo was shot and killed after destroying the tank
in Teginmouth, however her investigation was moving along extremely slowly as
the lack of physical evidence made it increasingly hard to track.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Jack took a drastically different approach to the
others, instead of focusing on the present and who was alive there, he focused
on the past in an attempt to try and locate any potential candidates from the
protectors’ own past who may have survived their supposed death, which led him
to mixed results including finding a protector who had killed her love rival
whom just so happened to be able to control peoples’ minds before she just
disappeared after suddenly just
vanishing, with no one seeing her again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘There is something off about them,’ Connie noted
as she looked over Claire and Gemma’s report on what happened when they
disappeared in the future.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Don’t
even know why you’re reading that,’ Tom laughed. ‘It’s all a load of rubbish.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘How
can you tell?’ Connie questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Because
Gemma begged me to kill her after she lost her legs, and I did. I buried her
body, I got her powers, I didn’t sense anything travel through time when they
reportedly disappeared, and most importantly: Travelling through time won’t
give you back your legs,’ Tom explained as he rewound and restarted the
security footage of the day Maddi and Ed died.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
about with that?’ Connie asked. ‘Anything useful.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘A
theory, but everyone who has anything to do with life and death are dead,’ Tom
sighed. ‘Basically I think the accident that kill Maddi and Ed was responsible
for opening a rift of sorts that tore through the barrier between the realm of
the living and realm of the dead. I believe that is why we’ve found so many of
the protectors who were once dead, and why Gemma lied about what happened in
the lead up to her death.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘But
if she’s working with someone, under someone, then won’t they know if they lie?’
Connie pondered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Only I knew about her
legs, and only I knew about how she died, I think she lied about how she died
in order to push us towards the correct answer,’ Tom guessed. ‘But I need you to
do something, and you are not going to like it…’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What?’
she asked uneasily.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
want you to absorb their memories, find what they’re hiding,’ Tom stated
simply.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Okay,’
she agreed. ‘But I want you to be nearby, just in case.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Of
course,’ Tom nodded. ‘I’m not about to send you in there without a safety net
to protect you from the sudden increase in memories.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The two of them nodded and turned to go and find
Gemma and Claire. Finding them wondering the Catacombs beneath Newton Abbot,
Tom approached them and introduced them to Connie, who shook Gemma’s hand and
reached out to shake Claire’s, however she pulled her hand away and said, ‘No
gloves.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What?’
Tom questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Don’t
play coy with me Tom,’ Claire warned. ‘I know that she’s like Jaso, so where
are her gloves?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
are you talking about?’ Tom questioned. ‘She can control it, just like Jaso
can.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yeah,
but at least Jaso had the decency to wear gloves so that people knew he wasn’t
taking their memories,’ Claire snapped.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Okay,’
Connie stated accepting the fact that she wouldn’t get Claire’s memories. ‘If
you don’t want to then we won’t.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Thank
you,’ Claire stated calmly while shooting an angry look at Gemma who just stood
there as if she were completely oblivious to the previous conversation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘So,
you found what you’re looking for down here?’ Tom questioned, taking a rather
extreme leap as to what they were searching for.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘No,
still trying to find my room,’ Gemma smiled sweetly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘They
weren’t built until 2056,’ Tom stated quizzically before thinking, <i>which you should know, you knew everything
about the history of the catacombs…<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Gemma just stood looking as plain as she could
while thinking, <i>come on Tom, figure it out,
figure out what really happened to us. </i>She looked away from the pair and at
one of the cameras before asking, ‘Why do you need those in here if only
protectors know of this place?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I’ve
had one too many visions of a future where the Taleon portal is activated, so I
keep an extra close eye on all of the catacombs to make sure no one is sneaking
around,’ Tom explained with a wince as he remembered the horrors of his vision.
Claire looked at him puzzled before quickly realising that Tom knew exactly
what they were looking for and had also hidden it from plain sight from anyone
who entered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Tom invited them to his house for dinner so that
they could discuss their disappearances and what they had missed in more detail
and in a much nicer environment.<o:p></o:p></div>

Seven Murders will go up on the 31st of March, of that I will defiantly not fail this time, especially since it is in the middle of the easer holidays.<br />
<br />
I am also working on something that is working under the preliminary title of "Kirk Balk Bluff" which may or not be published here, I may just keep that as a random thing that I wrote through an idea that doesn't necessarily need to be a story anywhere. Plus it uses themes from Falsely Accused, Hunted and Death Linked, which could potentially spoil all three of those series, so if I do upload it, it will be after I've done them.Ditto51http://www.blogger.com/profile/04343414978085352412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044826392251537686.post-77651352374714188522016-03-01T23:26:00.001+00:002016-03-01T23:26:42.249+00:00Camp Terror – Wipeout<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst">
Erin didn’t care about any stupid laws or rules
that attempted to regulate her powers, she didn’t care how many people she
would have to kill, all she cared about was that she had to rescue her brother.
This thinking radiated out from within her, unnerving Connie, who reluctantly
followed her into the house <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Almost immediately after entering the building
through the back door, Erin had impaled the head of an unsuspecting terrorist
and left the bleeding corpse on the floor for Connie to step over before
chasing after Erin who disappeared deeper into the house. Connie gave chase but
quickly lost the blonde haired girl.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Erin meanwhile charged deeper into the house, killing
or incapacitating any terrorists she came across until she finally came across
her family, locked in the kitchen just slightly away from the door down to the
basement. Forming a large sword like spike from her left wrist and then
snapping it off with her right, she then readied her left wrist in such a way
that it allowed her to fire small spikes out at deadly speeds, much like a
bullet from a rifle.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The terrorists, who were up to then completely
unaware of what had happened outside of the house, let alone inside, were taken
completely off guard by Erin’s rush around the corner, with two of the five
falling with spikes in their heads before they even realised what was
happening. The other three moved to combat her, but moved poorly: one of them
ran at her and found himself impaled upon her sword like spike; the second
attempted to grab his gun but end up with a spike attaching his hand to the
wall while Erin jumped over the counter top using her hands as a balance before
swinging her foot around and smashing the terrorist down to the floor with
enough force that his hand actually ripped away from the spike pinning it to
the wall much like removing one page from a stapled bunch, he didn’t get up
again; and then there was only one final man to deal with, who, unfortunately
for Erin, was a lot more calm and collected than his friends and had thus
lunged for Erin’s sister and was currently holding her with a gun to her head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Meanwhile in the basement, Connor overheard all of
the commotion and so decided that it was time to escape, causing him to begin
absorbing the materials of his metal constraints. This gave him the strength to
break his constraints, which shocked his captor Carl who almost dropped his gun
as he attempted to bring it to aim. However, Connor managed to stand and knock
the gun from Carl’s hands before any bullets could be fired.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Unable to keep up with Connor’s inhumanly quick
movements, Carl was forced to the ground, his nose and right arm broken, his
left hand missing and his mind clear for the first time in a long time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Wait!’
he called as Connor was about to impale him with his metal arm that he had moulded
into a sharp blade like weapon. ‘There is something you should know,’ he
explained.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What?’
Connor questioned curiously.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Don’t
trust the white haired girl,’ he revealed. ‘This was all done to frame some
woman, her mother-in-law I think.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Explain,’
Connor questioned quickly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘If
you want someone to trust you over someone else, then turn them against that
someone,’ Carl described. ‘At least that is how she put it.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Name?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘No
idea, all I can remember is white hair,’ Carl sighed sadly before turning
deadly serious; ‘I’ve gone inexcusable things, even if I was under her control.
And what I did to you was horrible and I am so sorry. But now I have to ask you
a favour: Take that blade, and kill me. I can’t live with what I’ve done, even
if it wasn’t really me…at least not completely.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Connor didn’t say a word, he didn’t know what to
say, he just looked into the man’s eyes and could see that he was being honest,
as such he somewhat emotionlessly swung his blade from behind his shoulder and
down across Carl’s neck, completely separating his head from his shoulders.
Turning from the body, Connor began making his way up the stairs until he came
to the door which was partly open.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Here he saw the standoff between Erin and the
final of the five and quickly realised that the terrorist had Cait. Without
really thinking he just moved up behind the man and pushed the blade of his arm
through the terrorist’s head until it came out of his mouth. The man’s arms
fell limb, thus dropping the gun and releasing Cait, before his body followed
suit.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
As the adrenaline began to ware off, Connor fell
to his knees and then to the floor as he fell into the realm of unconsciousness,
Connie finally found them all as Erin embraced her little sister, causing
Connie to run to Connor to ensure that he was still alive.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘We
have to get him outside now,’ Connie ordered. ‘He won’t last much longer
without medical assistance.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Okay,’
Erin agreed as her adopted dad picked up Cait and tried to get Erin to leave
with him. She told him that they had to go in different directions as the
medical help Connor needed couldn’t be provided by humanity’s current medical
technology. She helped Connie pick him up and then rushed out a different door
to the one that her parents had left through.<o:p></o:p></div>

Having spent the time that Tom was organising the civilians
surveying the house, Erin and Connie had take two of the terrorists out and
used Connie’s ability to absorb memories to extract Connor’s location, despite
the damage it caused to the brains of the individuals.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Once they had pinned his location down, the two of
them rushed into the house before Tom had even noticed that they were gone.
Searching around the outside of the house for a suitable entrance, Tom discovered
the brain-fried bodies next to the swimming pool and came to the realisation
that Connie must have been responsible for the attacks, especially after one of
the pair awoke and could only manage baby gargles.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Worrying for what she could do within the house,
Tom was about to rush in with Cameron and Jack when two army Jeeps worth of
heavily armed personal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘They’re
not NCIS,’ Tom noted<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
about Erin and Connie?’ Cameron contested.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Lot
of good we’ll do them in there if these guys rush in behind us,’ Jack
elaborated.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Jack’s
right, Connie and Erin can handle their own,’ Tom agreed. ‘We handle this lot,
they’ll get Connor out.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Cameron nodded in acceptance before pointing his
hands out at the second jeep and opened a black hole underneath it, Tom realised
too later to stop him before something built into the jeep repelled the oblivion
sphere, vaporising it and sending a feedback loop of energy back into Cameron,
causing him to collapse to the floor as his brain felt the pain of a thousand
punches.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Um…’
Jack started looking at Cameron’s unconscious body.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Not
a problem right now,’ Tom snapped. ‘If our powers won’t work then we use
everything else we’ve got. We were trained specifically for the event that our
powers became useless. Let’s use that.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Understood,’
Jack smirked as he pulled his sword from his left hilt and his gun from the
right. Tom pulled out two blades, nodded to Jack and then took off running
towards the approaching Jeeps, using his superspeed to avoid any bullets that
were aimed in his direction. As he closed in within his maximum suspected
effectiveness of the device that rebounded Cameron’s powers onto him, he
stopped running at superhuman speeds and began running normally, although this
was still much faster than a human.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The terrorists remained ever furious in their
attacks, however they weren’t able to adjust to Tom’s frantic gymnastics
display quicker enough to hit him. Jack meanwhile disappeared into the bushes,
knowing that Tom would intentionally let one jeep through his one man blockade
for Jack to deal with.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Tom dived past the first jeep and managed to land
on the windshield of the second, which he promptly punched in, grabbed the
driver, and threw him underneath his own vehicle as it continued to move
forward. He then moved onto the passenger, smashing his head into the console
multiple times until he fell unconscious.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Unfortunately for everyone in the Jeep, Tom
realised too late that they were on a collision course with a tree. Turning and
seeing the tree, Tom’s brain went further into overdrive than he had time for,
causing him to only be halfway through a solution when the jeep hit the tree,
which in tern catapulted his unseatbelted self face first into the tree. The
pair in the back, whom had been hanging out the side doors when Tom ran up to
the jeep, was also sent flying forwards, although they met a fate much worse
than Tom as they accidently impaled themselves upon fallen branches, which each
pierced their lungs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Tom slumped to the floor, unconscious, while Jack
jumped out onto the second jeep, smashing the dashboard with the men in the
driver and passenger seats while using his feet to kick the weapons of the pair
in the back until they eventually flew out the doors. The men followed suit as
they scrambled after their weapons. Jack dove to the right, catching the man
offguard, allowing Jack to snap his neck before his gun could be retrieved.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Unfortunately, the second soldier was much more organised
and calm in his exit of the vehicle, grabbing the gun and moving around to Jack
and attempting to bring the butt of his gun down upon Jack’s temple. Realising
this, Jack quickly dropped down to the floor, swung his foot around into the
man’s legs causing him to suddenly drop to the floor. Quickly, the pair
scrambled to their feet, however Jack was slightly faster and was able to keep
the soldier in a defensive role and disallowing him from aiming or using his
rifle.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Unable to get close enough to perform the kill,
nor able to rest control of the rifle, Jack opted for the slower method:
Pushing the man away from the truck until they were far enough away that Jack
could blind him. It took a couple of minutes of back and forth as they both
attempted to keep control the situation, but eventually Jack got him far enough
away that he was able to blind the man without his powers backfiring.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Once the man was stumbling backwards, Jack knocked
the gun into the air and tripped the man up causing him to collapse to the
floor. Before the man had hit the floor however, Jack had grabbed the rifle and
aimed it at the dude’s head, who in turn had also activated explosives within
both Jeeps that caused them to explode.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The explosions caught Jack offguard and allowed
the soldier to wipe out his legs and reacquire his gun, which he promptly aimed
at Jack’s head. Unfortunately for him, a small excessively sharp spike flew
across from the house and lodged itself within his skull, causing him to drop
to the ground, dropping his rifle in the process.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Jack’s head spun around to see Connie helping
Connor down against a wall before rushing to help Cameron, who was slowly beginning
to wake up. Jack struggled to his feet and began to search for Tom and the
first jeep. His eyes finally settled upon the flaming wreck of the jeep as well
as the tree that it was now wrapped around.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
He pointed towards the tree for Erin to see before
he began running towards it, only to find that there were only three bodies
around the jeep.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Where
is he?’ Erin asked as they searched the area.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘He
definitely went after this jeep,’ Jack confirmed, his certainty holding up
about as much as his attention during an explosion.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />

So while on the train back up to Sheffield, I
decided to do Camp Terror related stuff and quickly came to the realisation
that the actual plot of Camp Terror itself is coming to an end, with the populace
of the campsite being liberated from the terrorists who surrounded them.
However, there were ideas that materialised themselves for after the series
concluded, these idea included the people behind the attack and their reasons
for carrying out said attack.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Camp Terror will end soon, with its 19<sup>th</sup>
chapter entitled “Trust”, with a follow up series starting in February, which
is currently working under the title of “Falsely Accused”. This will be
followed up upon its completion by the series “Justice”. Depending on how the
plot of “Falsely Accused” ends up unfolding, a prequel series will either begin
being uploaded partway through “Falsely Accused” or alongside “Justice” as it
features plot threads which will lose their effectiveness if revealed too
early. This prequel series will be entitled “The Impossible Choice”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The next chapter of Camp Terror, “Overkill”, will
go up either today or tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Moving on to other series, "Family Reunion" should finish up in February, while the sequel series to "Six Alien Ships", entitled "Seven Murders", will debut on February 29. "NCIS" and "Power Core" are both planned but I need to be in the mood to write each series before I can actually sit down and continue them, but don't work, they're still coming. "Hunted" requires a bit more planning and building before I can continue with it, otherwise it will end up going all over the place.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
"Covenant Invasion of Earth" is in a tricky position where I've kinda decided on where I want it to go but at the same time don't want it to go in that direction... So basically I'm going to do the third sub-series entitled "Aftermath", however, after that I will probably stop working on it. "Time Trap" is in a similar boat to "Hunted" in terms of planning while I just have no idea what to do with "Fast Track". However, I have a storyline planned for Universe 02 which should lead into "Fast Track" and allow me to get some new ideas. The Universe 02 story is currently working under to name of "Universal Destruction". Universes 28 and 33 also have stories in the work for them, entitled "Death Linked" and "Empty" respectively. They will likely be one of series, although at the very least I'm hoping to get "Empty" out this year.</div>

Onto “Seven Murders” information: The first chapter
is entitled “Dust” while the final chapter is titled as “Cut Lose”, with there
being another 11 chapters between them, bringing the grand total to 13, because
of this the chapters may also spill over into March 1<sup>st</sup> as well, just
to ensure they all get out.<o:p></o:p></div>

Having been ordered to run by Tom after committing her
string of murders against naval officers and duplicated his powers by transfusing
some of Ollie’s blood into herself, Faye begins to slip further into insanity,
beginning her spree of seven murders that ends with a dead protector and old
friends chasing her down. Meanwhile Emma and Lisa attempt to break out of the

After being rescued by Tom from the café, Gemma and
Claire resorted to following his orders in order to prevent their cover from
being blown. As the walked the hostages towards the NCIS checkpoint, the pair
used their force field generating ability to prevent the terrorists from
reaching them. As they walked through a strangely quiet area, Gemma turned to
Ollie and asked, “So how come you have Tom’s powers?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘A
few years ago we were in an accident…it was bad, very bad,’ Ollie explained
sadly. ‘I’d lost a lot of blood, and Tom was a match for me, but because the
accident involved around seven other people, who all also lost a lot of blood.
We all had the same blood type, and I was the last one to be brought in,
something to do with another car accident on the road that the ambulance was
going to take. So they just flat out took some of Tom’s blood and started to
pump it into my body in order to stabilise me.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Is
that it?’ Claire asked when he fell silent.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yeah,
the doctors were amazed by the wound suddenly healing itself in light of the
newly added blood, but they had no idea what they had just unleashed into me,’
Ollie sighed. ‘Tom was unconscious at the time so all it took was the go ahead
from our parents. I’m fairly certain on the choice he would have made, but I’ve
never asked.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
know which choice he would have made, the choice he would have made for
anybody, but he won’t again,’ Gemma noted. ‘Not now that he know what it does.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘We’re
approaching the end of what I know,’ Ollie pointed out. ‘I’ll go and do a
little more recon, find out how much further we have to go.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Once Ollie was gone, Gemma pulled her phone out of
her pocket and put it to her ear. ‘You get all of that?’</div>
<a name='more'></a><o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yeah,’
Naomi confirmed. ‘Keep him away from yourselves and the other passengers, I’m
gonna beam him up here, see if I can get to the bottom of this accident. It
sounds to heavily manipulated to just be mere coincidence, like someone is
trying to play Tom right into their hands.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Understood,’
Gemma responded before hanging up the phone before turning to her mother and
explaining, ‘When he comes back, keep him away from us and the civilians, Naomi
wants a word with him.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Should
we really be trusting her this much? She isn’t like the rest of us, she didn’t
come back through the breach, and she’s been acting very un-Naomi-ish since
taking command of those of us who were resurrected,’ Claire responded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘It
doesn’t matter,’ Gemma snapped. ‘You saw what happened to Kelvin, Janet and Leo
when they refused to play along, and I’m pretty sure they are still hanging there
in the vacuum she created in the PPA, and they are just the three we know
about. I don’t particularly feel like joining them.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
After finishing his recon run, Ollie returned to
Gemma and Claire and informed them that they were almost to the checkpoint, and
that the few remaining terrorists between them and said checkpoint had been
knocked unconscious and were currently scattered throughout the woods. Upon him
finishing the report, they slowly backed away from him, ensuring that no one was
around him before a sudden burst of white light shone down from the sky and
struck him. He gave a quizzical look to Gemma and Claire before disappearing
with the white light.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The sudden change in scenery jarred his senses as
they attempted to adjust from the lush summer green of the woods to the blinding
white interior of the new location.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Welcome,’
Naomi smiled, kneeing next to him. ‘My name is Naomi, and this is my PPA, I
need to ask you a few questions about the accident that gave you your powers.’<o:p></o:p></div>

Tom's
family was a weird mix of humans and protectors, with a statistically
improbable amount of them being protectors despite only around seventy of them
being in the past. Using his entire family being in one location, including the
other protectors, Tom arranged for Naomi and Emma to be introduced to them in
the hopes of drawing Jackie out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
He
just hoped that she would show or the work that they’d put to generating the
necessary protection for the human family members would be flushed down the
drain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
After the rest of the family got
into position for the group photo, Tom took his chance and announced, ‘Guys,
before we start I need to tell you something.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Okay,’ Janet agreed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘A number of you already know this,
but most of you don’t…and before I finish explaining I just want to say sorry
to Nan for what is about to happen,’ Tom sighed. ‘Okay, everyone this will seem
really weird ‘cause I’m only eighteen, but I have a girlfriend and a daughter.
Naomi, Emma! Come in.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You have a girlfriend,’ Ollie
called out with a laugh.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
His dad on the other hand, looked at
his quizzically and asked, ‘You have a daughter?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yeah, time travel and age
manipulation are responsible for the slight differences in age, for example, I’m
actually something like six hundred and twenty two at this point, Naomi is one
hundred and forty nine and the really confusing one, Emma is three hundred and
seventy eight,’ Tom explained as Emma and Naomi walked around the corner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Mostly because I enjoy history so
just live through various time periods when I’m bored,’ Emma joked as Janet’s
eyes locked onto Naomi.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘How?’ Janet stated, her eyes unmoving.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Quite simply actually, we have a
time…oh. You were talking to mum,’ Emma started before noticing the woman’s
gaze.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You’re hair…there are only two
places you could have gotten that from,’ she pointed. ‘Emily or Will?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Dad,’ Naomi admitted sadly. ‘He
killed Will during the civil war that erupted when Tom came back. Mum, Jackie’s
a psycho, she gave herself the ability to control minds, she turned him against
us…He killed Paige, he tried to kill me, all because of her…’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Tom
turned to see a couple glasses of water begin boiling while the fish tank at
the back of the room began to shake uncontrollably.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Naomi. I’m so sorry, no child
should have to go through that,’ Janet cried. ‘I should have made Geoff send
you all back as well.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘And then I wouldn’t be born,’ Emma
snapped. ‘Nor would my sisters. You can’t just undo everything, that isn’t how
time works. The events that led here today were all set in stone. Geoff trying
to kill dad. Jackie burning Paris. Kelvin killing Paige. Geoff sending you back
in time. The way everything unwound itself in the past, everything was leading
to this point.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
As
Janet looked at the small girl in shock, Tom suddenly disappeared into a blur
before an almighty crash sounded from behind Naomi as Tom threw Jackie down
onto it, snapping it instantly. ‘Fight or sit Janet?’ Tom asked while he had a
short respite.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Fight,’ she agreed, Tom nodded in
understanding and clicked his fingers, causing Janet to become enveloped in a
red smoke.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
When
the smoke dissipated a few seconds later, Janet appeared as a young beautiful
woman who Naomi instantly recognised as the mother who had disappeared. The human
members of the family sat and stared at the newly regenerated great-grandmother
of the family, none of them truly believing it to be the same person.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
While
Tom held her down, Jackie caused the water from the fish tank to shatter the
glass tank and escape in a power jet, which split into five which subsequently
collidied with Tom, Emma, Connor, Erin and Naomi, sending them flying out the
conservatory and into the outer-smoking area. She then turned to Janet and
said, ‘Hello old friend. Ready to die like you should have done all those years
ago?’<o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> ‘I won’t be the one to
die today,’ Janet snarled back.</span></div>

Well not as close as the last few times, but that
is only because I decided to remove two of the chapters. “Odd One Out” may find
itself being uploaded at some point, but probably not. SO the six chapters are
done and sorted, and the other two weren’t really important to the overarcing
story or the story of the immediate chapter. Like at all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
“Newborns” explains itself, “Loop” adds to the
next series, “Shadow” is important to both Tom and Connie’s characters, “Death
in Law” and “Jokes on You” are clear for all to see and “First Timers” lends
itself to somewhere so far down the line that I think it is likely fifteen or
sixteen when we finally see the repercussions of the ship falling instead of
being destroyed. “Odd One Out” would have been just a repeat of the others and “Oh
Brother of Death” was worked into “First Timers” with Josh revealing Naomi’s
kidnapping as opposed to Tom finding out via her tracker.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Obviously after reworking it, I have removed Ollie
and Angee from Main character status in this series as they didn’t appear in an
important aspect.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Seven will go up in January 2016, probably late. I’ll
give a proper date when I post the Official Synopsis.<o:p></o:p></div>

Since Naomi remained alive, her tracker continued
to work allowing Tom to pinpoint her location. The same abandoned warehouse
where Angee was almost mind-raped by Jamie…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Approaching from the front, Tom immediately supersped
through the door in order to avoid the anvil that Jamie had planted to fall on
his head when the door opened. Once in he lent backwards in order to avoid the
curved blade that threatened to take his head clean off. Spinning around onto
his back as he slid, he ended up using his hands to jump over a curved wood
cutting blade that seemed to have been pulled straight off a wood processing
plant.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Jesus,’
Tom exclaimed as a hammer came crashing down upon his foot when he finally came
to a stop. ‘Come on Jamie! Fight me brother to brother, or are you too chicken!’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘That
was just the opening act,’ Jamie chuckled from the corner. ‘It was just a bonus
that any of it actually managed to hit you.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Before Tom could respond, Jamie kicked him in the
face, sending him flying backwards. Tom struggled to his feet and managed to
catch a glimpse of Naomi behind Jamie. Coming up with a terribly poor plan, Tom
formed a ball of temporal energy and launched it at Naomi’s wrists, although he
made it appear that he was firing it at Jamie. Jamie, not realising Tom’s true
plan, silently side stepped the ball of energy and ran at Tom, his fists
simultaneously striking both Tom’s face and stomach at the same time, causing
him to go flying backwards into the wall.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘That
all you got,’ Tom managed while struggling to stand. Falling for the taunt,
Jamie sped across the room and smashed Tom’s head into the wall. ‘My turn,’ Tom
smiled as he used Penny’s mimicry power to punch Jamie in both the face and stomach
before rushing across the room and punching his head into the wall.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
While Jamie was distracted recovering from the
sudden and unexpected attack, Tom sent a barrage of mental attacks at Jamie to
delay him long enough form him to destroy all of the lights and thus purge the
room into pure darkness. Undercover of darkness, Tom quickly used Myles’
Echolcation ability to map out the entire room and figure out where each of
Jamie’s traps were lurking. Surprisingly, Jamie seemed to managed to evade Tom’s
echo-mapping.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Suddenly, Jamie’s fist connected with Tom’s
stomach and sent him flying backwards and into another wall. Bracing himself,
Tom took Jamie’s follow up punch to the head, grabbed the small nanoscopic
tracker out of his pocket and pushed Jamie backwards, attaching the tracker to
him in the process. Jamie stumbled backwards for a step, managing to stop
himself shortly before one of his circular saw traps.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Tom, realising where Jamie was and where the trap
was, moved forwards despite his broken foot which he was slowly beginning to
feel. Once he was a top Jamie, he forced him downwards and slammed Jamie’s leg
down on the trap. Unfortunately for Tom, Jamie react and fired a power beam of death
energy that caused Tom to go flying out of the warehouse and into a supermarket
across the street. Jamie meanwhile looked down at his leg while weeping.
Realising how beyond help it was, he chose to finish the amputation job. He
then slowly crawled towards his flamethrower trap and aimed it at his leg
before activating it in order to cauterise it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Tom was quickly surrounded by various customers
and staff who immediately phoned an ambulance while Angee quickly rushed
through the door, having realised what Tom was planning too late to interfere.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘He’s
got a tracker on him now Ang,’ Tom smiled. ‘We won’t lose him again.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yeah,
but are we going to lose you?’ Angee asked. ‘I saw that black beam. I know what
that was.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
was able to factor most of the energy off to one of my other identities. I’ll
be fine,’ Tom explained. ‘Have you seen Naomi? Her chains were removed partway
through the fight.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘No,
not yet,’ Angee admitted. ‘We’ll find her once we get you in an ambulance and
on the way to the hospital.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Having escaped midway through the brutal fight
since she was too weak to aid in the fight. Naomi managed to make it out of the
warehouse and into an area where she could create a portal that would take her
to a hospital.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Leila was shocked by the sudden white portal, but
less so by the white haired girl who slumped through. ‘Naomi,’ she called as
she helped her up. ‘Simon! Help me!’ she called through to her partner in the
other room.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What?’
he questioned, turning through the door to see the bloodied and bruised girl. ‘What
happened?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
don’t know,’ she admitted. ‘Help me get her inside so that the doctors can look
at her.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Okay,’
he agreed, rushing back out to the ambulance garage to get a stretcher to place
her on.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Whilst he was grabbing the stretcher, Leila
watched as Naomi’s head began to alternate between white and red. Shrugging it
off as an unurgent matter, she ensured that Naomi wasn’t bleeding anywhere
externally before moving onto a more thorough examination that ensured that she
wasn’t bleeding inside. To her relief, there was no internal bleeding, but she
did find that her right leg was broken, her left arm, right elbow, around ten
ribs and her left index finger were all broken, and her right index finger just
wasn’t there. Once her partner returned, they rushed inside for further
examinations and surgery in order to start her on the path to recoverary.<o:p></o:p></div>

but as I was typing “First Timers”, I realised that “Oh Brother of Death” wasn’t
needed, and the sixth chapter “Odd One Out”, wasn’t exactly needed for the
overarcing story. If I get time later on I may write it up and publish it, but
overall it is simply just Ollie and Angee destroying their own Vinto ship.<o:p></o:p></div>

Having survived the explosion of his ship, Tom
managed to convince the Vinto on the ship that he had newly arrived on that he
was one of them, after subtly knocking Marcus out so that he couldn’t reveal
the truth. As they were marching through the enemy ship, Tom noticed that a
couple of the Vinto trailed off with Amanda’s and Marcus’ unconscious bodies,
presumably taking them to a more appropriate medical facility.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Very quickly, it became apparent that the
mothership that they were on was one of the other targets for one of the other
teams. Although this didn’t become completely clear until they passed by a
lookout ridge, out of which he could see the town of Newton Abbot. From the lookout,
Tom and his adopted squad of Vintos were given disintegrating rifles and tasked
with heading off the current attack by the “Natives” that were heading towards
the engine room.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Alright,’ the soldier in
charge of the lookout begun. ‘There are two of those Protector freaks that Josh
explained to us about. We’ve gotten
reports that the London and Moscow motherships have been destroyed, and the Washington
ship seems to be blowing up and then coming back. All three of these attacks
have been orchestrated by the Protectors. Because of this the engine room has
been sealed tight, but your job is to make sure that these two protectors can’t
cause any more harm. Understood?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
‘Sir
yes sir,’ Tom and the other soldiers responded calmly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Now move out!’ he ordered
before Tom and the others began making their way towards the last known
location of the two protectors.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Tom quickly realised that they would come up on his
friends’ flank, as such once he felt like he was close enough to his friends
that he could find them and help them destroy the ship, he began picking off his
fellow squadmates.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
To begin with he swung left, forming a knife in
the process, and struck the Vinto there in the throat before tearing it up and
into his skull before allowing him to drop silently to the floor. However he was
already dust before he landed, allowing his death to go unnoticed until Tom
wanted the others to know. Grabbing the dead Vinto’s weapon, Tom caught up to
his teammates and began following the remaining Vinto as they closed in on the
protectors’ location.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
As the enclosed to within one turn of protectors,
Tom leant forwards and asked the Vinto in front of him whose flank was
currently uncovered. To which he replied that it was the protectors. Tom then
pointed at one of the doors to a small storage cupboard and points out that he
may have heard something come from the other side of the door. Having no reason
to doubt Tom’s loyalty after watching him rescue Marcus and Amanda, the soldier
slowly crept towards the cupboard door and swung the door open.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Well
no one in here,’ the soldier whispered as Tom quickly did another check of the
rest of the squad.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
Once he was sure that
the coast was clear, he pushed the Vinto into the cupboard, covering his mouth
while also stabbing him with a small temporal knife that caused the Vinto to
begin aging out from the point where he was stabbed. As the final portion of
him turned to dust Tom turned back and shut the cupboard and sneaking back to
the rest of the squad who had begun constructing a plan that Tom believed would
never work, even if he weren’t in the group.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Once they were ready they turned around the corner
and began slowly advancing along the right wall. Tom remained around the corner
when one of the Vintos noticed the absence of the other two.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Hey,
weren’t we two stronger when we started?’ he asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘No,’
Tom smiled. ‘You weren’t ever anything strong.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
saved Amanda to prevent her from forming a time loop over London,’ Tom
chuckled. ‘Now, you think too much. So your turn,’ Tom face turned from happy
and joking to dead serious as he formed a sword in his right hand and decapitated
the Vinto in one fluent move. ‘As we split the power between us, the erasing is
becoming much less thorough. He shouldn’t have remembered them enough to stop and
question it.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Shaking it off for a thought later on down the
line, Tom moved on with the two rifles and then steadied them at the remaining
members of the squad as they moved into position along the corridor. ‘Check
your flank arseholes!’ Tom yelled as he used his superspeed and ability to slow
down time to ensure that he wasn’t hit by any of the bullets while all of his
met their targets.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Up at the other end of the corridor, Felix poked
his head around the corner after hearing all of the gunfire. ‘Tom?’ he
questioned when his eyes focused on the only biological form in the corridor. ‘What
are you doing?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Taking
out your ambush,’ Tom smiled as he supersped up to Felix. ‘You’re welcome.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘How
were you even in a position to know of the ambush?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘The
Vinto who they’ve induced with our powers…’ Tom started. ‘They’ve only had our
powers for a couple of days. Which was what that stab of pain was. When Emma’s
ship blew up, the Vinto on that ship accidently formed a time loop to protect
herself. I had to get the other Vinto off of my ship since they weren’t moving.
So I grabbed them and went through the teleporter with them in order to ensure
the destruction of the ship.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘And
they didn’t kill you?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘They
thought I was on their side, I’d just saved one of their Queen’s daughters and
her second in command,’ Tom elaborated. ‘They were both unconscious and so
couldn’t protest.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘And
now you’re here,’ Felix noted. ‘Come on, engine room this way.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Don’t
bother,’ Tom explained. ‘Gravity Core is the same distance that way.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Why
not just blow it out of the sky?’ Felix questioned as a wave of fire blew past
them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Because
they’ve barricaded it,’ Tom explained. ‘We won’t get through it before they are
on top of us with reinforcements.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Okay,’
Felix nodded. ‘Emily! Gravity Core!’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Got
it,’ she responded simply as the wave of fire came to a halt next to them. ‘Hey.
This ain’t your ship,’ she chuckled before turning and running for the new
target.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The trio thus rushed towards the gravity core
room, encountering very little resistance. After Tom disabled the gravity core
and sent the ship into free fall, he turned to realised that they had been
entirely surrounded by Vinto soldiers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Too
many,’ Emily stated as she formed a small ball of fire in each hand. ‘Plan?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You
each have my powers right?’ Tom questioned. ‘I gave you each my powers. So you
two superspeed out of here and I’ll make sure that they can’t reactivate the
gravity core.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
if you can’t get out?’ Emily questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I’ll
get out,’ Tom winked. ‘Go.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
They obliged and sped from the room faster than
the Vinto could react while Tom slowly inserted his knife into the console and
tore it downwards, destroying it before it could be used to reactivate the
core.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I’m
looking for the one named Josh!’ Tom called into the masses. When Josh appeared
Tom froze time for the entire planet, leaving only him, Josh and Lisa’s time
loop in movement. ‘You created two monsters. Undo it.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
makes them any different to what you are?’ Josh challenged.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘They
would’ve left me on that ship, regardless of the consequences!’ Tom retorted
back. ‘We feel, that is our advantage and weakness. They don’t feel so they won’t
reflect on the impact of their actions.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Okay,
so your better. What was the thing that seemed to attack their minds?’ Josh
quizzed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Some
weird fourth dimensional being that is using out ability to control time as an
entrance point into this reality,’ Tom explained. ‘We receive our powers at birth
and so we have a natural instinct to resist it. They don’t.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘That
girl did, and the black haired boy who made off with the air controlling
protector who laid waste to Moscow along with our forces,’ Josh explained.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Sorry.
Made of with?’ Tom questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yeah,
it did not look like it was with the consent of the girl though,’ Josh shrugged.
‘Now, why were the humans able to resist it and not the Vinto?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Because
Jamie was already insane and only wanted to kill me, and he was already
fighting his own internal demons…he’s not completely there,’ Tom chuckled. ‘Faye
only wanted to survive, and would keep running forever, she would be completely
useless to the deity.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Without saying another word, Tom used his
superspeed to transfer the conversation to a teleporter. ‘Go. Fix what you have
broken,’ Tom ordered before disappearing in a blur. Slowly time began to return
to everyone. Josh quickly escaped through the teleporter while Tom, Emily and
Felix attempted to outrun the ship that was slowly collapsing above them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
When the ship collided with the ground, it let our
a shockwave that sent Tom, Emily and Felix flying across the car park that they
had come to and into an empty school bus, knocking it onto its side.<o:p></o:p></div>

High above Moscow, a Vinto ship hung unable to
reconstruct their cloaking systems in order to hide themselves from prying eyes
below. Unfortunately for them, Naomi had already seen them and located the
means of getting on board, even if said means weren’t the easiest of things to acquire.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
However, the Russian air force were not expecting
a thirteen year old girl to walk casually up to the front of the base and
completely annihilate the initial set of guards and leave the second lot
unconscious along the sides of the road up to the runways. Hearing of the
attack at the front of the base, but not that it was only one small girl, a
couple of soldiers ran for their Mikoyan MiG-29 craft and took off before
circling back and travelling straight for Naomi’s location.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
However, they both hesitated when they saw that
the attack was just a small girl. This hesitation cost their lives to meet a
fiery death as Naomi manipulated the air currents around them and pulled the
pair down from the sky.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Following the deaths of the pair, Naomi looked
down at her hands and thought to herself, <i>What
am I doing? We don’t kill humans, only Geoff and Jackie kill humans…</i>
Looking off to the east, she saw the Vinto ship partially cloaked and seemingly
firing off a barrage of plasma that struck down a number of Russian jets.
Realising the urgency of the situation, she rushed to the runway to find one
final fighter jet that had yet to be taken.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Once inside, she quickly sussed out the majority
of the controls and used the air currents to make up for her lack of training.
As she sped towards the city, time appeared to slow down around her while she
tested out the various switches and toggles on the console. After finding the
switch that allowed her to fire missiles at the enemy defence ships, time from
her perspective returned to normal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
She quickly arrived at the ship and began
spiralling through the plasma and headed straight for the docking bay, which
shocked almost everyone watching, including the other pilots from the few
remaining Russian jets.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Meanwhile, inside the mothership’s defence room,
Joshua was overseeing the defence when he noticed Naomi’s considerable skill as
well as her usually young age.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Launch the pods,’ he
ordered. ‘Take her down before she can get on board.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Understood,’ replied
one of the men sat in front of him who repeated the instructions over the Vinto
communication channels.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Naomi watched as the enemy pods launched and
chuckled slightly as she took out the first couple of pods before they had even
left the perimeter of the mothership. However, there were too many of them for
that to be a valid solution once the first couple had been eliminated so she
had her jet fly directly upwards before falling backwards and firing straight
downwards into the enemy pods as they followed her up into the air.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Whilst doing this, she smashed the cover of the
pilot seat on her jet and then jumped out as she passed by one of the pods.
While falling, she used her telekinesis to throw her jet into one of the pods
while she smashed through the glass window of the pod that she landed on,
before grabbing the pilot and throwing him out into the air to fall to his
death. She then let out one powerful burst of turbulence that sent every
aircraft in the sky crashing down to the ground. Well all but her pod and the
mothership. Using the small increment of time where there were no aircraft in
the sky, Naomi swung around and managed to pass herself off as a Vinto for long
enough to dock and get on board, using the sudden destruction of the other
ships as evidence that she had died. Liking it to what happened on the ship
above Washington when Josh queried her identity.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Once she had walked off the pod however, it became
painfully obvious that she would be fighting her way to the engine room after
as Josh instantly recognised her because of her freakishly white hair. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Well I’d hoped that
would work,’ she sighed before forcing a single gust of wind through the
corridor, knocking Josh and his team backwards and giving her enough cover to
move away from the one place where she would probably lose.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
She didn’t get too far before she had to fight a
couple of Vintos. Before she moved to attack she noticed that the two were
shaking. ‘You okay?’ she asked sarcastically as she let a small breeze brush
past their legs. ‘You look a little terrified.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The pair flinched at the breeze but managed to
ready their guns, aiming them straight for her head. ‘We are not terrified,’
the more confident of the two announced. ‘You are of a lesser kind, weaker and
inferior to us.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘But I’m part you,’
Naomi smiled slyly as she began to form small air bubbles around their heads.
‘Don’t forget to breath.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
‘What?’
the second Vinto asked suspiciously as his partner fell to the floor, seemingly
choking.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘We’re better than you,
no matter how much you believe otherwise,’ Naomi smirked. ‘Humans are always
better, because we feel. So do the Zoombians. So I’m going to leave you with a
small bit of advice: Quit and go and live somewhere far away from the war. They
will leave you alone.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘We were raised not to
abandon our kind. You won’t talk us down that easily,’ the first Vinto replied.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Then this is on your heads,’
Naomi sighed as she pulled the soldiers’ guns from their hands and positioned
them to fire at their heads. ‘Last
chance,’ Naomi stated solemnly, the pair stood firm, unmoving and accepting of
their deaths. ‘Sorry,’ Naomi responded, her voice steady and emotionless as she
willed the two triggers to pull. The two soldiers disintegrated into dust
before Naomi silently moved on.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
As she moved on through the ship she encountered
further Vinto, all of whom entered into a simple shoot first ask questions later.
Unfortunately, this proved to be futile as Naomi simple took control of their
bullets and launched them back at her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Once she made it to the engine room, she began
uploading the computer virus that Tom had supplied which quickly began to
butcher the entire Vinto system while also causing the engines to began forcing
the ship’s fuel into the engine, causing it to all burn faster than the coolant
could keep up with.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
As she turned to escape the ship she came face to
face with a face so evil that it sent a chill down her back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Hello Naomi,’ Jamie
smiled slyly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘What are you doing
here Jamie,’ Naomi snarled as she pulled one of the Vinto rifles from the
corridor to her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘What? You think that
will do something to me?’ Jamie laughed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Absolutely,’ Naomi
responded calmly as she gently tapped the trigger.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Before the bullets could strike their target, Jamie
had dropped to the floor and knocked Naomi’s legs out causing her to fall to
the floor and smash her head on the floor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘You seem to forget,’
Jamie smiled. ‘I took some of Tom’s pathetic little human brother’s blood,
which means I took Tom’s powers as well.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Putting her hand into the air, Naomi threw Jamie
backwards with a gust of air before struggling to her feet and readying herself
for Jamie’s counterattack. Unfortunately for her, he used his superspeed to smash
her into the console before speeding away with her in tow. As he ran he jumped
into the same attack ship that Naomi had hijacked during her fight to get on
board before disconnecting it from the mothership and turning it around, escaping
from the base of the larger ship just as the engine erupted in an explosion of
superheated blue fire.<o:p></o:p></div>

Tom had tasked himself with taking down the Vinto
ship that hovered invisibly above London. As he tore through the ship however
he began to notice that he was never attacked from behind, and only ever from
the front. However, he chose to ignore this fact and focus on getting to the
engine room in order to destroy the ship.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Always a corridor behind him, a small red haired
girl of about seven years of age followed closely enough to help, while far
enough back to not be seen. Two years following her murder of Jackie, Connie
had matured more than any seven year old should have. She took over her group
of runaways after their previous leader had been arrested for a murder she did
not commit, and she researched and discovered the entire history of the
protectors from both the memories she had absorbed and from the books in the
various libraries that subtly hinted at various protectors’ involvement in the
shaping of human history in order to make them far more favourable to them in
the present day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
As she had grown and taken control of the group,
she cut her normally long ginger hair to be short and tidy in order to best minimise
grabibility risks that accompanied her long hair, as well as to mask her identity
after she killed two people and left a third with no left arm following a
failed kidnapping attempt. Not that it would help if anyone remembered her deep
red eyes, although she was both relieved and shocked to discover that the NCIS
special agent in charge of the murder cases had written them off as just tricks
of the light from the fire.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
As she turned the corner after her father, around five
soldiers came running down the corridor to her left, their guns drawn and
firing. Sighing to herself, she jumped backwards and hid behind a makeshift
barricade that the Vinto had created in the hopes that it would protect them
from Tom. Unfortunately, it didn’t help them in any way, shape or form.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Shaking her head, she sat up and grabbed the Vinto
who was coming around the barricade to try and catch her at gunpoint, instead
he had his brain fried and his weapon stolen. Bursting a water pipe close to
where the soldiers were using Jackie’s ability to control water that she had
taken after killing her, Connie stood and exited her cover and used the
distraction to shoot down each of the soldiers before any of them had time to
react. Once the final soldier hit the ground, she discarded the gun and moved
on down the curved corridor, following the trail of death and destruction left
in her father’s wake.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
She didn’t have much interaction with the Vinto
between her previous encounter and the engine room, with the exception of a
couple stragglers who had managed to barely survivor the attack. None of them
survived the second.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The engine room was in stark contrast to the rest
of the ship, instead of being pure white and uneasily peaceful, the room was
various shades of dark grey and had mismatched panels that encompassed the room
in a large dome that peaked at the top of the anti-gravity engine. In the
middle of the room was the control console that allowed manual alterations to
the counterthrust that was used to counteract the effects of gravity upon the
ship. Tom was stood next to the console, but wasn’t altering it, instead he was
staring across the room at the young brown haired girl with a freaky red eye
that creeped even Connie out, despite the fact that she looked at red eyes
every time she looked in a mirror.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
is wrong with her?’ Connie whispered as she appeared to wince. The Vinto beside
her moved to help her but was waved off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You
and your sister made a huge mistake doing what you did,’ Tom warned. ‘You can
barely fight off the monster within, let alone fight those of us with far more
practice at this than you do.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You.
Are. Wrong!’ the Vinto exclaimed. ‘I can fight you and this monster all day if
I have to! I will not lose to you!’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘So
you really believe that your brain can take two attacks simultaneously?’ Tom questioned
as he placed his hand on the console and began to change the settings so that
the ship would be propelled northwards towards the English Channel where it
would suddenly lose all thrust and fall into the ocean and sink.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Whilst ensuring that the craft couldn’t have a
last minute course alterations, he entered a series of Zoombian coding phrases
that attacked and destroyed the entire Vinto operating system. All while
continuing his mental battle with Amanda who was attempting to push out against
both Tom and the deity.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Marcus,
when she goes unconscious, you need to get her off or this ship will be trapped
in a time loop like Lisa’s,’ Tom warned. ‘I’ve given you enough time to
evacuate the entire ship before it sinks, so please, take my advice and get
everyone to run.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Connie meanwhile missed the entire conversation
between her father and the Vintos after an attack squad came at her and tried
to shoot her in the back of the head. Instead they all ended up with their
brains being fried and their chests being shot to hell as they tried to shoot
Connie. When she turned back she saw Amanda slump to the ground and Tom finish
the final section of code that would ensure that the ship would meet its
untimely end.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Shocking her completely, he then turned and ran at
superhuman speeds, leaving the two Vintos to meet what Connie thought to be a
watery death, unaware of what Tom had told them. Unable to shake the complete
and utter shattering of her mental image of her father, Connie made up her mind
and ran, taking out what few Vinto remained in her way if they tried to attack
her. She managed to make it to the hanger bay as the carrier began to move out
of the English Channel. Once she was sure the water was deep enough, she jumped
out of the ship and dived into the water, willing it partly rise up to meet her
halfway in the hopes of lessening the pain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
To her surprise, she felt nothing as she struck
the water, and instead found that she appeared to partially merge with the
water, allowing her to move quicker than any human could as she swam towards
the Devonshire shore, almost completely sure that she would not interfere with
the Protectors’ operations again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Meanwhile, on board the ship, Tom stopped and absorbed
the life force of a Vinto that was running at him with a sword. He thought to
himself, <i>They aren’t going to run…</i> He
then turned and ran back to the grav control room and grabbed Marcus and Amanda
and dragged them to the teleporter in order to get them off the ship moments
before the ship struck the water, thus allowing the ship to be destroyed
without destroy the Universe along with it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
After arriving on the new ship, Tom noticed that
it wasn’t the central Vinto mothership that hovered close to the moon, which
caused him to begin pretending to be one of the Vinto while also subtly
rendering Marcus unconscious.<o:p></o:p></div>

Having broke into one of the Vinto ships and
successfully made it to the engine room without being spotted, Emma moved onto
destroying the engine of the ship by aging various important looking sections
to dust. However, what she did not expect was to encounter another like her,
and she definitely did not expect them to be Vinto.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Having survived the induction process without
running into a wall, Lisa stood in the doorway, her hair filled with streaks of
blood red and her eyes seemingly pink as they fought the control that her
powers were exerting over her. However, with the exception of her freaky eyes,
she still remained the beautiful Vinto princess who most believed would take
the throne from her mother.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Who’s
in control?’ Emma laughed when she saw the state that the girl was in. ‘Monster
or Deity?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
am,’ Lisa snarled with two different voices simultaneously. ‘And I am no
monster.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘No,
you’re right,’ Emma warned. ‘You’re a million times worse. You’re a deity who
is fighting for control from some wannabe Vinto girl in a human-skined reptilian body. Care to explain why you don’t just take control?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Because
he can’t,’ Lisa snapped as her eyes returned to rest as a simple green and a
number of the red highlights returned to their usual blonde.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Feeling better yet?’
Emma asked as the entity began to attack her mind. ‘You made a mistake by
giving yourself our powers,’ she managed as she fell to the ground in pain. ‘We’re
born with it, we adapt to it. Faye and Jamie were already insane. How can a
small Vinto girl hope to combat something that we can barely keep at bay?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Because I’m Vinto, and
I’m stronger than whatever the hell you are!’ Lisa screamed before the
remaining highlights disappeared from her head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Now that that is over,’
Emma winced. ‘Do you think you can stop me from destroying this engine?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Like I said, I’m
stronger than you,’ Lisa smiled before charging at Emma.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘That you are not,’
Emma whispered as she suddenly put all of her effort into resisting the attempt
of control by the entity. By the time Lisa made it to Emma, the pain had disappeared,
allowing Emma to bring a sword of temporal energy into the air in order to
block Lisa’s ball of temporal energy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘What?’ Lisa asked,
shocked at the sudden manifestation of a sword out of nothing, allowing Emma
the time to knock her backwards through the air and into the wall.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Emma then turned and fired one last ball of energy
into the engine causing it to begin collapsing under its own weight as the
metal aged to near useless.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘A
word of advice,’ Emma turned back to Lisa and looked her in the face. ‘Find the
lab where the cure is developed, and take it. Oh, and run.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘No,’
Lisa snarled as she struggled to her feet. ‘If this ship is going down then so
are you. I saw what that thing has planned, and I can’t let anyone with this
power go.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘If
you think you can stop me then let’s go reptile,’ Emma bated.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
don’t need to stop you, just stall you long enough for the engine to explode
and take us out,’ Lisa smiled before using her superspeed to move across the
room and crash into Emma who froze as she felt an unnatural energy resonating
from Lisa, something that if left unchecked could tear a hole in the Universe.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
She caught Lisa mid run and threw her backwards
into the wall and pinned her there before asked, ‘When did you get your powers?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘A
couple of days ago,’ Lisa revealed as she pushed off against the wall, sending
Emma flying backwards in the process.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You’re
still a baby,’ Emma stated, fear resonating out through her voice while the
Engine reached a point of no return. <i>Have
to kill her before the engine explodes,</i> Emma thought to herself as she
utilised her four abilities to try and kill the girl.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
To begin with she slowed down time around the
engine, turned herself into a lion and caused an internal rain storm that threatened
to blow Lisa up into the air. Jumping into the air, she used the air currents
to take her towards her prey in an attempt to kill the Lisa before the engine
erupted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
However, as her claw struck the side of Lisa’s
face, the engine erupted in an explosion that tore through the ship and
illuminated Washington DC in a blaze of red.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Much to Emma’s dismay, she was suddenly thrust
back into the moment where she encountered Lisa for the first time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
*****<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
To the amazement of those stood on the streets
below, the Vinto ship erupted into flames before seemingly jolting back to its
original position as if it were a badly animated .gif.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Meanwhile Tom’s, Angee’s, Emma’s and Geoff’s power
lines all felt a sudden jolt of pain as if some part of them had just been torn
away into oblivion.<o:p></o:p></div>
Ditto51http://www.blogger.com/profile/04343414978085352412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044826392251537686.post-37218034884165325992015-12-25T07:00:00.000+00:002015-12-25T07:00:00.173+00:00Six Alien Ships: Newborns<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst">
Following a lengthy fight between an advanced squad
of Vinto and Angee Gibbs, Marcus was eventually able to subdue her, which
subsequently allowed him to extract a couple pints of blood from the girl
before her reinforcements arrived and forced him to retreat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
However, he had already gained everything he
required to bring the Vinto up to par with the strangely advanced Protectors.
Unfortunately, this gamble also revealed the Vinto presence on Earth much
earlier than they would have liked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Not fully trusting many of her kind after a
previous star system was lost to Vintos who had developed emotions, Anna, the
queen of the Vintos, chose her two daughters, Lisa and Amanda, to have the
blood transfused into their veins in order to try and induce Angee’s powers
into them, much like the humans had done in what she perceived to be an
ignorant temper tantrum by both sides.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Are you insane Mark?’ Joshua complained as Lisa
and Amanda walked into the lab where the blood transfusion would occur. ‘They
now know we’re here and we don’t have nearly enough time to train them in the
use of their powers. We would have been better off just bidding our time and
analysing them from afar.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘We
can handle whatever they throw at us,’ Marcus challenged while the lab
assistants attached the blood bags of Angee’s blood to Lisa and Amanda.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
would’ve preferred analysing their weaknesses first and then taking their
blood,’ Josh noted. ‘You saw what the boy and girl were like after inducing
themselves, they could barely stand, let alone fight.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘And now we are going to have two of
them on our side that you can analyse all you want,’ Marcus snapped. ‘So find
your bloody weakness in them and then apply it to the humans.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yes,
find a weakness in newly born superpowered Vinto thing and apply it the
superpowered Human-Vinto-Zoombian hybrid thing. That is totally how science
works,’ Josh complained.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Better
than nothing asshole,’ Marcus retorted. ‘Look for similarities and differences between
ours and theirs and then exploit them.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘The
only difference is that they have nothing to lose,’ Josh mumbled as he turned
to the girls to explain the procedure one more time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘They’re
human, they must have something to lose,’ Marcus replied, slightly confused by
the statement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘They’re
from a lost world, they came back in time in the hopes of preventing said world
from existing. If they fail then they’ll just be reborn in a few hundred years
and repeat the cycle. And they actually think that that is how this will go,’
Josh sighed. ‘They’re computer systems are filled with images of a terraformed
planets where stuff that they’ve built in the past is present in ruined form in
the future. They have nothing to lose, and we by comparison, we have everything
to lose.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Then
we induce them and we take these Protectors down before they can do anything to
stop us,’ Marcus replied with enthusiasm.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yeah,
sure,’ Josh sighed before turning fully to the girls. ‘Okay, you sure you
understand everything? If we do this you’ll receive the ability to manipulate
time, move at super-vinto speeds and create force fields, you will –’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yeah
yeah, we get it,’ Amanda snapped. ‘Just start the blood.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Actually
you don’t get it,’ Josh retorted. ‘As we’re been watching the humans below we
have come to realise that their powers aren't all good. Time in particular appears
to produce nightmare scenarios of possible futures whilst you sleep and further
studies of the blood seem to suggest that people who have this ability are also
subject to immense psychological issues where some unknown force attempts to
take control. Having had their powers from birth they are able to resist said
control…but being given them fresh in the middle of your lives may cause you to
become overwhelmed.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘We
can handle it,’ Lisa promised.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Yeah, we’re stronger
than them,’ Amanda exclaimed. ‘If anyone is going to break it will be one of
them.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘As long as you both
understand the consequences,’ Josh nodded. ‘Strap them down.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The girls were quickly strapped down, much to
their surprise before the blood in the bags were released by the nurses. ‘Why
the straps Josh?’ Lisa snapped.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Because
suddenly getting superspeed may end up being like have pure adrenaline pumped
into your body,’ Josh explained to two confused face. ‘In other words we don’t
know if you’ll run head first into a wall after being given this.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘And
what’s to stop us from doing so when you take the straps off?’ Amanda asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Absolutely
nothing,’ Josh laughed. ‘They are there purely to ensure you get the full lot.’<o:p></o:p></div>

His father’s words hung with him as he tried to
move on with his life, however he couldn’t shake the feeling that his dad has
been telling the truth that Janet was still alive and in present day, and the
fact that Jackie knew she was alive made it even worse.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Not believing Geoff, but unable to forget the
words regardless, Tom began to search the data banks for someone called Janet
who had no family and whose personal data trail seems to lead to her
spontaneous appearance after she was sent back in time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Whilst searching through the various databases of
the world he slowly began to realise that she would have appeared in the same
location from which she was originally teleported. Using this he was able to
narrow his choices down to three potential candidates. However, taking a leap
of faith he settled upon the one candidate who just happened to have mothered
his mum’s side of the family.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
In order to test his hypothesis, he broke into his
cousin’s house and took a sample of her, knowing that since Janet was Naomi’s
mum, by the time it had filtered down through the generations, she would have
been the first person born into the next generation. After analysis of the
blood, he was able to conclude that he had chosen correctly and that his cousin
had the ability to control time like he could.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
*****<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
A few days earlier, at exactly the same time as
Tom was fighting Geoff, Janet was visiting her eldest daughter’s family. Whilst
there she felt the clash of energies that shook the entire universe. This
caused her to feel uneasy and sit down. However, she guessed that the worse was
yet to come, and when Tom finally overpowered Geoff, she fainted as an entire
life's worth of pain and agony suddenly clashed with her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
As she let out a high pitched scream, her family
quickly rushed into the room to discover her unconscious on the floor, having
slipped off the sofa during her fit of pain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
When she came to, she was laid on the sofa with her
daughter looking over her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
'What happened?' her
daughter asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
'Something protected me
from pain for the last 70 years,' Janet explained. 'And now it's dead.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
'So why'd you scream
out in pain?'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
'Because once that
protection was gone, I felt every bit of pain that I should've felt over the
course of my long life,' Janet explained. 'I think I just need to rest for
now.'<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
'You sure? I can stay
out here for a little while longer,' Lin offered<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
'No, go and finish up
tea, I'll be fine,' Janet smiled. Her daughter then got to her feet and headed
back into the kitchen while Janet quickly grabbed the laptop and began racing
through Facebook in order to try and locate Geoff <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Eventually she found him, although she was equally
shocked by his presence on the site, the thing that shocked her the most was
the fact that that his address corresponded to exactly the same location that
he had sent her back in time to. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Due to
be engrossed in her work, the knock caused her instincts to kick in and force
gale force winds to blow through the street outside, blowing half of the
pedestrians off of their feet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Lin answered the door to Tom, whom at this point had
no idea that Janet was also his mother-in-law. Likewise, Janet had no idea that
Tom was the child who had just killed Geoff, let alone the same child who she’d
believed to have committed suicide before Geoff transported her back in time.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
However, she wasn’t slow, and very quickly noted
that Tom had disappeared for around the same amount of time that it would have
taken to get to Geoff’s house in the woods, kill him and then get back. As he
walked past the front room door towards the garden, she caught a glimpse of him
and noted various physical attributes that made him appear very similar to
Jackie and Geoff, including Geoff’s black hair, Jackie’s green eyes and a
certain aura that demanded respect from those around him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
For some reason, these were somethings that she
had never noticed about him before, instead she had only seen a young shy boy
who did everything to <i>subtract</i>
attention from himself, however, now she noticed that he was beginning to merge
his identities, with his nerdy self becoming more intimidating and confident.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Nevertheless, she still could not shake the
feeling that he was the brother that she believed to have died. Turning back to
her laptop she began to search through Tom’s Facebook Profile, as well as a
number of other social media sites until she began hacking into the
Governmental servers where she found Tom’s true identity buried deep within,
along with all of his alias and the family that he had tried to keep hidden.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
After figuring out who he was, she was about to
tell him when he remember that Jackie had come to kill her a few years earlier,
and threatened to kill her if she ever made contact with her children.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘If
I go to Tom to take me to the others then she’ll kill me and them,’ she
grumbled out loud to herself before turning and sitting down. Whilst sat she
made sure to delete her entire search history in order to cover her tracks
should anyone ever use the laptop.<o:p></o:p></div>

Felix had tracked down his former apprentice and
copycat to the burnt ruins of a seaside hotel that Tom had burnt in order to disrupt
a meeting where humans were trying to sell a drug that stripped a Protector of
their powers to a group of Vinto. The resulting blaze killed Vicky and her
parents, Marcus and his bodyguards and had been presumed to have killed
Professor Timothy Ritchie.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Knowing that Tom wanted to atone for the mistakes
that he made that had sent Faye insane, Felix was able to convince his friend
to tag along. The two of them were leaning against the seawall opposite to the
hotel in the middle of the day, readying themselves for what they may have to
do once inside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You
sure you want to do this?’ Tom asked as Penny and Faye walked up to the hotel.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Absolutely,’
Felix nodded. ‘They’re not like us, they can’t resist her control. And because
of that they are a threat to our lives.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘But
they are family,’ Tom noted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘So
were Geoff and Matt, hell even Jackie <i>is </i>family,’
Felix countered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yeah,
but they sided against us, even if she turned them against us. Penny and Faye
stood by our side as we dealt with Grey and his little extermination plan,’ Tom
explained as the traffic lights turned red, allowing them to cross. ‘It may be
worth keeping Pen alive though,’ Tom suggested once they reached the otherside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Why?’
Felix questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Because
Jackie killed her mother. Kelvin explained that we didn’t want to be controlled
because we hated her, so why would Penny want to be controlled by her if she
killed her mother?’ Tom described as they made their way up the stairs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘So
you think we could use her as an additional Protector against Jackie,’ Felix
guessed as he looked across to Tom to see his eyes glowing faintly red.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Actually,
I think her part in this stretches far beyond Jackie,’ Tom smiled. ‘Promise me
one thing.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Okay,
what?’ Felix questioned as they stood outside the burnt doors of the hotel.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘If
I die, I want you to take my place,’ Tom detailed. ‘I want you to take control
of what will remain of the Protectors and lead them against whatever threat
rears its ugly head.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘But
you’re not gonna die,’ Felix exclaimed. ‘You are basically immortal because you
can just refresh your body by changing your age.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Even
I have a limited number of lives,’ Tom sighed. ‘Each identity can only die
once. And if they all die quickly enough then I won’t be able to regenerate
into an alternate identity if I don’t have any free, especially as there isn’t much
use in turning into a baby. And that isn’t even considering if the death is so
quick that I don’t even have time to react. So promise me.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
will,’ Felix nodded in agreement. ‘What are you seeing?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Just
images,’ Tom explained. ‘Taleon and Zoombian fighting; the planet on fire;
Jackie’s body; you leading the remnants of the protectors alongside Lizzy and
Penny…’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘And
Naomi?’ Felix pushed, noticing Tom’s trail off into silence.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘She’s
fighting alongside me but not me, protecting a world that isn’t her own,’ Tom
sighed. ‘You take Penny, I’ll handle Faye.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yes,
because it always works out like that,’ Felix laughed as Tom’s eyes slowly
began to fade back to normal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Better
to enter with a plan that changes on the fly than enter without a plan and need
to improvise everything.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Without saying another word, the two pushed the
burnt doors our of their way and began canvassing the burnt remains of the
hotel’s reception, searching for any traps that could kill them before they
even made it to their targets.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Nothing,’
Felix whispered quietly. ‘This doesn’t make sense…they’ve never been this
careless.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You’ve
never been this careless,’ Tom shrugged. ‘They probably think that they are
safe, that no one is going to go after them.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘But
why?’ Felix countered. ‘Jackie wants to kill everyone who stood against her,
which narrows the list down to every Protector who is still alive, including
Penny and Faye.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
dunno,’ Tom smiled. ‘They’re both insane last time I checked. Perhaps that’s
why.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Or
this is going to be a lot harder than we think,’ Felix noted as he put his
hands against the door that led to the Swimming Pool. ‘This way,’ he gestured
as he pushed the door open.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
makes you so sure?’ Tom asked quickly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘I trained them,’ Felix
explained. ‘Hide in the area that is easiest to fight in.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘A swimming pool?’ Tom
questioned, unable to see how it is the easiest place to fight.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Josie came after us a
few years ago. Faye killed her,’ Felix explained, causing Tom to follow him
through the door.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘So that’s why Josie
disappeared,’ Tom guessed. ‘You reckon it was Jackie?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Absolutely,’ Felix
nodded in agreement as they approached the glass windows that separated the
pool from the corridor opposite. ‘Anything?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘No. I haven’t received
any short term images since I killed my dad,’ Tom sighed sadly. ‘I think the
extra power that is flowing through me is causing the long term images that
used to only come at night now come during the day. However, on the bright
side, I was able to sleep properly for the first time ever last night.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘So we have no idea
what they are going to throw at us?’ Felix complained, initiating a nod in
confirmation from Tom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
‘Since when do we ever?’
Tom laughed as he placed his hand against the window, using his superspeed to
vibrate the glass until it shattered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
As the glass crashed to the ground, Penny ran out
of the changing room while the water in the swimming pool began to thrash back
and forth before a plume of water erupted upwards and landed next to Penny. As
the water subsided Tom realised that Faye had materialised next to Penny.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Are
we really that big of a threat?’ Faye questioned, shocked at the fact that Tom
and Felix were coming after them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘No,’
Tom shrugged. ‘We’re here because you can be a threat if Jackie is able to
invade your minds with her own.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Mind
Control?’ Penny questioned. ‘Wasn’t that Tanya, and only Tanya. You know, the
girl who was slaughtered by the Zoombians in 2984?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘And
apparently as a supressed ability in my mother,’ Tom shrugged as the water
began to boil.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘We
have somewhere we can hide you until this all blows over,’ Felix suggested as a
plume of water began to grow out of the pool.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Fat
chance. I am not being locked up again!’ Faye screamed as she thrust her arms
forwards causing the water plume to suddenly dart towards Tom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘We
don’t want to hurt you Faye,’ Tom exclaimed as he caught the water in a force field.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Well
I really want to hurt you,’ she snarled back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Get
to Penny, get her out,’ Tom whispered to Felix.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
are you going to do to her?’ he asked as the plume of water began to weaken.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Hopefully
take her in,’ Tom sighed as the water stopped completely. ‘But if I have to,
then I will.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Hopefully
you won’t,’ Felix noted shortly before Tom disappeared in a blur that stretched
across the pool and into Faye, who shot backwards into the wall.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Using the distraction, Felix ran to Penny who
pulled her two knifes off of her belt. As he ran around the pool he began to
take in the surroundings and piece together what had happened on the day that
the hotel had burnt to the ground. He looked out into the hallway from which he
came and then back at the walls of the pool with the realisation hitting him
slower than it should have. <i>They were
here whilst the deal occurred above… And Faye stopped the blaze? But for what?<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
In her currently life, Penny was a sixteen year
old serial killer who had the ability to mimic anyone she sees to a near
perfect degree. This meant that even Tom and Felix didn’t know how many people
she’d killed, with a number of her murders being mimics of other killers.
However, by looking at her you would never be able to tell that she was a
killer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
For starters, she looked around eight years old,
in addition to having her hair being in a two long black pig tails, being four
foot ten inches and having to almost exclusively wear clothes meant for a
thirteen year olds. She also acted very much like a kid, having fallen into the
habit of mimicking Faye whom had essentially gone insane after meeting Felix,
and then proceed to go even further insane after he dumped her, causing her to
revert to simpler times from before her body was overcome with hormones.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
don’t want to fight you Felix,’ Penny warned with her knifes raised.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
don’t want to fight you Penny,’ Felix promised. ‘We’re here to take you in.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Tom
seemed ready to fight, almost like he was planning it,’ Penny countered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Only
Faye, we knew Faye wouldn’t come with us, and would likely try to kill us,’
Felix explained as he moved closer to her, his hands in the air to show his
lack of weapons. ‘We know you don’t want to fight. I can help you,’ he
promised.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Help
me how?’ she snapped, pushing the knifes closer to Felix as a warning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘By
giving you a fresh start, without your powers, without your memories, without everything
that I turned you into,’ he promised, unfazed by her warning. ‘All I ask in
return is that you help us take Jackie down.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘That’s
your fight, not mine,’ Penny retorted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘The
bitch has taken just as much from you as the rest of us. If not even more,’ he
pushed as Faye flew across the pool and into the burnt wall of the corridor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
has she taken from me exactly?’ Penny cried. ‘There was nothing for her to
take,’ she added as tears began to flow down her face. ‘I was nothing but the bastard
child from a one night stand whose mother ran away.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Your
mother didn’t run away,’ Felix elaborated. ‘And besides, at least your parents loved
each other! Mine hated each others guts and chose to stay together solely for
Leo and I!’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
happened to my mother then? If she didn’t run away then what happened to her?’
Penny yelled as Tom threw Faye into another wall.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘She
was murdered, by the same person that we want your help in fighting,’ Felix described.
‘And our dad fared no better, she turned him against his family to the point
that he didn’t stop attacking me until I finally ended him.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
guessed my mum was dead, but murdered?’ Penny cried. ‘You want me to help
avenge her, don’t you?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
want your help to finally rid this world of that monster before she figures out
how to amplify her powers to the entire planet,’ Felix explained as Penny
lowered her knifes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Why
me?’ she questioned as the knifes clattered to the ground and she fell forwards
into Felix’s arms, openly weeping.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Because
you may think that you are weak, but your mind is strong, and there is absolutely
no way of her getting into your head,’ Felix smiled while comforting her. ‘You
are stronger than you believe sis, always remember that.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Okay,’
she cried as she finally accepted the world around her for the first time since
the robots had kidnapped her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Wrap
it up!’ Felix yelled after sitting with Penny for a couple of minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Aw…but
I was having fun,’ Tom complained as Faye landed on the opposite side of the
pool.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Beneath them, Felix began to feel the vibrations
of the Earth itself. He looked to Tom for confirmation that he could also feel
the vibrations.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘She’s
already set it in motion,’ Felix warned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
have to,’ Tom moaned. ‘I have to kill her in order to take her power. It’s the only
way to stop it.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Felix nodded and looked away as Tom held his palm
up towards Faye and released a small black beam of energy that struck and enveloped
the girl before causing her lifeless body to slump to the ground.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Sorry,’
Tom sighed sadly as a blue aura rippled up off of the corpse and towards him.
Shortly after enveloping him, the tips of his hair began to slowly turn blue as
the power took root inside of his body. ‘Take her back to the house, get her
some rest,’ Tom suggested before he disappeared in a blur.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Tom rematerialized out on the beach, much to the surprise
of those watching as the tsunami approached, not quite realising that their
lives were in danger. ‘This should be fun,’ he stated sarcastically while stretching
his neck. A couple seconds later and he was a small blue blur running across
the shallow bay as he raced to strike the wave before it could do more damage.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
He awoke later on in the day, back at his house
with Felix and Penny hovering over him. ‘What happened?’ he questioned as he
sat up, his head aching.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Jackie
happened,’ Penny complained.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘She’s
had her power longer than you have, so when you tried to stop the wave she
simply overpowered you, which caused the wave to crash into you,’ Felix
explained. ‘However, I had managed to get enough kinetic energy from the vibrations
that the wave was causing in the ground to send a shockwave at it and vaporise
it.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Don’t
be bummed about not being the one to destroy it though,’ Penny added
cheerfully. ‘It was a tag team effort on your part that destroyed it. Had you
not been running across the water like you were then she would have focused on Felix
and taken him out instead.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Who
are you and what have you done with Penny,’ Tom questioned as he took note of
her out of character cheerfulness.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Reality,’
she stated simply. ‘Without it I was insane and went through my day mimicking people,
which was mostly depressed people who hated their jobs. But you guys helped to
pull be back to it, which made me remember how to be my own person without having
to mimic off of anyone in order to get through my day. So when do we kill a
bitch?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Soon,’
Tom promised. ‘Soon…’<o:p></o:p></div>

When a soldier attempts to take a protector from a class that Tom is working in, he discovers the truth and kills the soldier before ordering Kyle to get every Protectors, asleep or awake, born in 3000 or not, to the house. The conflict eventually collapses into an all out war where the protectors fight various nations of the world, while other nations support them and fight with them.

Birley Community College was a small secondary
school in Sheffield, England which maintained strong links with Sheffield
Hallam University, allowing them to take on a number of student teachers. One
of these student teachers upheld multiple identities, one a child psychologist,
another a medical professor, a third as a Uni student, as well as a host of
other personas that made him the most powerful man on the planet. And the
planet was about to make him very, very angry.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
As a Uni student, Tom was still learning to be a
teacher, but as a collection of all of his alter-egos, he was smart enough to
teacher each of the students everything they need to know to become the next
batch of scientists, doctors, surgeons or astronauts who would lead humanity to
great things. However, with his knowledge comes one big drawback: He can’t see
the otherside of an argument, he believes himself to be right and so will not
let go of his argument.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
On this particular day, he was sat with a group of
students working on two-way table problems when an army soldier walked through
the door and asked for the one person that Tom recognised: Sam Blimpford.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Why?
What’s he done,’ one of the students asked as the teacher told Sam to gather
his things. Tom meanwhile grabbed his Timothy ID out of his bag.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Sorry,
that’s classified,’ the soldier responded calmly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘To
her maybe, but not to me,’ Tom stated simply showing the soldier his ID.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Professor?’
he stated shocked. ‘What are you doing here?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Irrelevant,’
Tom stated simply. ‘What do you need with Sam?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘The
UN is tired of waiting for you and Bridget to finish your cure,’ he explained. ‘We
have been ordered to round up all protectors.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘And
then what?’ Tom pushed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Kill
them, they are far too dangerous to be left to their own devices,’ he
explained.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘How
many soldiers are here today?’ Tom questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Just
me,’ the soldier admitted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Okay,’
Tom stated simply. ‘Come on Sam.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I’m
not going anywhere with him if he wants to kill me,’ Sam retorted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Move
NOW Protector,’ Tom ordered, hoping that Sam’s underlying instincts would take
control and cause him to begin moving. Luckily he did. ‘Lead the way,’ Tom told
the soldier.<o:p></o:p></div>

Once the soldier turned and began walking back out
the door, Tom quickly snapped his neck and let the soldier drop to the floor,
shocking the entire class behind him. He quickly grabbed his phone out of his
pocket and used it to call Kyle.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Hello,’
Kyle started whilst taking a bite out of his sandwich.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
need you to teleport every protector to the house right now, including any
children that they may have had,’ Tom ordered as he pulled the dead soldier
into the classroom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What?
Why?’ he responded as he made his way to the elevator.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Remember
the ten protectors that went missing the other day?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yes,’
Kyle stated calmly. ‘You said that their powers just became too weak for our detectors
to locate.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yeah,
well I was wrong,’ Tom sighed. ‘They’re hunting us, and they aren’t going to
stop until we make them stop.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘So…am
I leave certain people where they are then?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Yes,’
Tom decided after a few seconds of silence. ‘We are going to need all the
leverage we can get if we are going to convince them to not exterminate us.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘And
if they don’t?’ Kyle questioned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Then
we fight,’ Tom replied simply. ‘They want to kill us, then we’ll kill them.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
about you?’ Kyle aske ‘Am I bring you in?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Not
yet,’ Tom responded as he formed a knife of temporal energy in his free hand. ‘If
they want to hunt us, then we get to hunt them.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Be
careful,’ Kyle nodded as he climbed into the small pod that Tom had had built
for him in order to perform the mass teleportation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Tom waited in the room until Sam disappeared before
heading towards the room where he knew another protector to be. As he
approached the room that she was in, the door swung open and the girl was
thrown out into the hallway shortly before the soldier calmly stepped out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Hey!’
Tom called out as the soldier aimed his gun at the girl’s head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Go
back into your classroom,’ the soldier ordered. ‘This doesn’t effect you.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You’d
be surprised,’ Tom snarled as he threw his knife at the soldier, who turned and
avoided the knife. However, when he aimed his gun at Tom, he found that he was
gone, as was the girl he was trying to kill.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Where
are you?’ he snarled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I’m
nowhere and everywhere,’ Tom laughed cryptically as he zoomed past the soldier,
cutting the back of his leg in the process.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You’re
just adding to the fire,’ the soldier warned. ‘By killing us you are only
opening up the way for us to level you and your base.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You
started the fire,’ Tom smiled as he came to a stop in front of the soldier. ‘Why
am I not allowed to poke it a little?’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘You
want us to destroy you?’ the soldier asked, confused.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘No.
I want you to leave us alone,’ Tom snarled. ‘But you won’t, not if you think
you can beat us. So either you realise we are too powerful for you to defeat
and surrender, or you all fall in a war you can’t win.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘What
makes you so sure?’ the soldier asked politely.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘Because
your best friend could be human, or be protector, or even be alien,’ Tom warned
with a smile that the soldier found extremely disconcerting. ‘Or, even your
child could be one of us.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘I
don’t think so,’ the soldier snapped. ‘He has never shown any signs of having
superhuman abilities.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
‘He
won’t do unless he feels threatened. None of the protectors that you are
hunting have used their powers since they were reset,’ Tom explained before
disappearing into a blur.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The soldier didn’t see him again. He didn’t see
anyone again. And no one saw him again. A couple of teachers ran out of their
rooms to investigate what all the commotion was about only to find a pile of
dust.<o:p></o:p></div>

Cut it a little close last night, but managed to
get all six out in time. Happy Halloween everyone and see you in December for
Six Alien Ships. Still not decided on a date yet but I’m leaning towards the
idea of releasing them over the New Year.<o:p></o:p></div>
