New kid *FIN*

[stephenadams]

Stephen watched as the mans body glowed. What the heck was he doing? All of the sudden the flames in his hands went out of control. Stephen knew he couldn't get burned so he didn't freak out, he closed his hands to stop the fire but it continued to blaze.

"What the heck are you doing?" asked Stephen, wondering why this guy would attack him after just meeting him, he didn't even ask what happened.

Stephen listened to the man as he explained his ability, it seemed strange and complicated but Stephen got the message, using his abilities would only hinder him.

Stephen looked around the room trying to find a weapon to use against this foe. He ran to the nearest cabinet and threw it open. In it was a machete with a not attached that said, gift from the future, use it.. Stephen took out the machete and found a belt a sheath for it too. He took that as well and put it on, making sure the machete was out of vies of the man.. Stephen walked toward the man, a look of defeat on his face.

"I guess without my abilities I'm defenseless, so I guess all I can do is....." Stephen pulled the machete out and lunged at the man, hoping to stab him in the shoulder, seeing as he didn't want to kill the man, he had a few questions for him.

[rocky4]

James took the question Stephen asked him seriously. What was he really doing? James thought that This kid was some how with the people who had just tired to capture him. And with a dead kid laing on the ground why was he alive. why did he stand there and let a Innocent person die if he had an ability to protect them. James was lost in thought. Then as he lost track of the situation at hand Stephen lunged at him with a machete. If he had used his abilities to fight James, Stephens abilities would have been countered by James body reflexes. However this was no ability but a raw blunt weapon. James stomped on the ground. The tiles from the floor shoot up attempting to block the attack. However this effort was wasted as it had been to late. Stephens machete blade had only been redirected to his left arm.

The blade stuck in his arm first ripping his shirt, piercing the skin and finally stooping just before the bone. James screamed in pain. He pushed the wind with his right hand adapting to push Stephen off of him. The tiger then growled. James knew that he was in the wrong. " I don't sense a killing intent from you. I assumed you were after my pack. I am the Tiger Zodiac its my duty to protect the rest of us. There are people after the Zodiacs. If your not involved with that group then why would you kill that other kid?" James asked Stephen.

[stephenadams]

As Stephen lunged at the man tiles ripped themselves from the ground and slammed into him, but Stephen still managed to stab the man. Stephen was then thrown back by a gust of wind an landed on his back, as he got up he heard the man start talking.

"Zodiac? What the heck is that?" Stephen asked the man.

"I didn't kill Keith, his ability killed him, and I think it sent you here. Look at the picture on the floor right there, Keith used his ability and made it real." Stephen explained, his voice was guilty because he wished he had done something to stop it.

Stephen sheathed the machete and pulled out the ring that had fallen on his head ealier, "Do the zodiac things have anything to do with this?" Stephen asked

[rocky4]

James ability seemed to work as Stephen was thrown back. His left arm was still throbbing with pain but James had felt much worse. He Knew the paint would subside. James riped the sleeve off of his shirt. He pulled out the machete and threw it on the ground. He then tied the wound tightly with the shirt sleeve. James then attempted to answer Stephens question. " The Zodiacs were some of the first of your kind. The first to have an ability in times were these abilities were very uncommon. In fact there were only twelve in the world which had an ability. I knew 6 of them. We were Ferd among the normal people. They called use witches and warlocks. Freaks and daemons. They gave us names and hunted us. Tried to make us suffer for what god had gave us. They went after my family. There were 9 of them. 9 Monks together had the power to defeat me. They were smart. They knew the only way to get to me was to kill my wife. My children and my friends. " James said as he went off into his own personal life.

"There seems to be a new 9 out there. Hunting us once again. In the past the Nine sealed us in scrolls. Each guarded by a sacred animal. Over time we have been called the Zodiacs based on are animal guardians. We have formed a spiritual connection with them. Thats why Tony has became my partner. " James said as he pointed to the tiger. "It seems the Nine monks placed a curse on the scrolls. If a scroll is read it will awaken that Zodiac. If one of the scrolls is read but not the others then everyone with an ability will die in an unknown time span. The only way to stop everyone from dieing is to awaken the rest of the Zodiacs. The Nine feels however that when a zodiac is awakened they must die or be captured. " James informed Stephen.

Stephen showed him a ring and asked if it had to do with that. " No. The Zodiacs are connected to the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. If it was tied with one of us then a symbol of one of the animals would have been on it. It seems the fate of the ring lies within you. If it has found a way to you i think you are meant to have it. James then got into a stance. A fighting stance like he was ready to attack. " Now, if what your saying about this kid, Keith or something. If his ability relay did kill him it could not have brought me here. No ability works around me. I cant be healed if a person could heal others. I cant heliport of walk threw walls if a person is able to let others shear there gift. My body bends abilities away from me. " James admitted. " But you seemed to know that there was going to be a weapon there. Farther more you knew how to use it. Not something they keep in a school, Tell me did you expect to fight someone here? Did you plant that weapon earlier today to face someone else other then me? " James questioned Stephen.

[stephenadams]

Stephen sighed as the man said that it had nothing to do with the zodiacs, and that he didn't know what it was for. Stephen had hoped he could have found out what this weird ring was about. He stuck it back in his pocket and listened to what else the man was gonna say to him.

The man said that Stephen seemed to have known where the machete had been and seemed to know how to use it. Stephen thought back and realised that he had gotten to the machete pretty quickly. Stephen wondered how he had known where it was and his thoughts drifted back to his future self, who had automaticaly known that this time line was different. Maybe he had used whatever power that was.

"I didn't put the machete their, I don't know how it even got there, all I know is their was a note that said 'gift from the future'" Stephen explained, "Maybe whoever sent it there knew I would look there first."

As Stephen and James were talking something was going on with Keith. His body began to glow white and he suddenly transformed. He had became a new person. His body changed into that of Eric Soul. Keith had drawn him and put him in his pocket. He has finally came to life. Keith didn't know how to control his ability but when Keith was younger he used to draw this character called Soul. He gave him the ability Eric has right now. He set up a comic book of this character and it seemed as if he was creating a new person all along. It could have been Keith's new animation ability that brought him to life. But there he was Eric Soul. He was once a character in the comic book of a evil child but now he has came to life.

Eric stared at them both. He stood still not saying a word. He smirked and waited for what was to come. He felt like he had just been born. This kid was the true Keith. The person Keith wanted to become. After death he had finally got his wish. Eric knew that he couldn't use his abilities on these two. They could counter everything he could throw at them. But that only made Eric more excited. More thrilled to stand with these two. He then sat down Indian style and started to hold his hands in a parer position. He bowed his head and shut his eyes not saying anything to them. He kept his evilish grin on his face. He was a new Kid not just in this school but in this world.

[rocky4]

James listened to Stephen explain that he didn't know that the knife had been in the cabinet. But there was a note saying it was from the future. "Time travel?" James asked. He knew the ability well. But it was unlikely that some unknown person would come here to just put the blade in there for Stephen to use. Why didn't they stay to help him fight James. James didn't sense an evil intent from Stephen and he didn't know the truth about him. How much did Stephen actually know? Did he work for a company? James didn't think that it was likely him being so young. But he had a feeling Stephen wasn't telling him everything " They had to put it there before i arrived. Which means they must have saw this hear without actually being here. They didn't have time travel but a form of precognition of some kind. I would have bended the time around me to counter the effects of a person stooping time. " James confessed.

James then noticed that the kid on the floor suddenly changed and became a new kid. James steeped back. "What the hell is this?" He asked. He wondered if Stephen knew anything about how this was happening. The child known as Keith changed and stood up. James eyes him like he was stalking pray. Tony James tiger did the same. The tiger was growling at the child and James knew that that was a bad sign. " This is unexpected." James said. He didn't like the feeling in the room now. What made it worse was that this kid didn't even say anything. James couldn't read his motives.

[stephenadams]

Stephen was about to respond to the man when all of the sudden Keith's body changed. It began to glow and transformed into someone else.

"Keith? Is that you?" Stephen asked the boy, wondering what had happened, maybe it was another one of Keithsd abilties. Maybe he was like Doctor Who or what ever, and would come back to life with a different body.

Stephen noticed that the man seemed a little hostile to the new Keith, maybe he changed personalities like Doctor Who as well. Stephen then almost laughed, he was comparing Keith to a show, amazing how much sci-fi junk turned out to be real.

Stephen all the sudden felt an explosion in his head, he knew the ability of the boy, and everyone else in the school (OOC:exept James). Stephen fell to his knees. When he recovered he took got back to his feet and stared catiuosly at the new Keith, seeing as he could do everything Keith could do, or at least a couple, and could take his abilities if he touched him. Stephen didn't want his abilities taken away so he began to think of what ability he should use if the boy attacked.

[rocky3]

Eric didn't notice that the Tiger seemed to growling at him. Or the fact that James was staring at him like he wanted to kill him. Eric herd the voices coming from James and Stephen. James didn't say much to him so Eric didn't speak to him ether. Eric opened his eyes when Stephen asked if he was Keith. Eric smiled. He shook his head no. He in truth didn't know who he was. He thought he was living in his normal life but now gaining Keith's memories the life he knew was just a mere page in Keith's book of drawings. Keith had created his life. And intern Eric took over Keith's life. He was an extension of Keith.

Eric looked over and saw that Stephen had fallen to his knees in some sort of pain. Eric didn't understand that. Eric felt bad for him but didn't know why. He then reached down to Keith's memories. They were blurry like Eric was watching what Keith had seen on a TV with bad connection. Eric made out that they were talking and then something weird happened were a junkyard came to life and there were two Keith's and two Stephens. Eric was confused. He held up his pointer finger and pointed to the picture of Keith dead and James in the back round. He staired at it like it was important. Then he reached in his pocket and pulled out a picture of himself. He was wearing the same clothes as Keith had on before and he had on now. This was the reason why Keith's abilities were now his. Eric turned to James. He generated a white orb and threw it at him. He turned and winked at Stephen but did not say a word.

[steve]

John stood in a room not too far away and used his ability to see through the walls, as he normally did when he wanted to observe something without being seen. He had watched as the boy Keith, another special that John thought might be a good person to try and recruit, turned into another boy. John hoped the boy still had the same morales as Keith, seeing as Keith had similar beliefs as himself.

John decided to join in on all of the fun and walked into the room.

He watched as the new Keith shot a White Orb at the man that had appeared out of nowhere, and couldn't be viewed by most of John's abilities.

John stood in a corner and waited to be questioned by one of specials present.

[rocky4]

James woundered what the deal was. It seemed that Stephen was also confused as he asked the new kid if he was Keith. Wich means he didnt cause this to happen. Eric then threw a orb at James. James quickly held his hand out and made a fist smushing the orb into nothing. " Abilities have no effect on me kid. Take this fight to to me and i will be the one to end your life." James told Eric in a harsh tone of voice. James didnt want to fight but he was ready as he allways was. He noticed the wink Eric gave to Stephen. " Are you two togther or not?" James questioned. He couldnt read the situation wich was odd for him. Hes normaly very observent and can prosses things like this in a fight. But this was to odd for even him to figure out. Was Stephen good or evil? Was Eric Stephens freind if hes even human?

Then to make matters even more confusing a man walked around the cornner. This guy was another one who gave off a weird vibe. He seemed to not say anything but observe the situation at hand. James was confused now but he didnt show it. He was worried about the wound to his arm. He couldnt fight them all off if he had to. He could stall for time but that was about it. James eyed the man as his tiger growled back and forth at him and Eric. James was growing impatient and not in the mood for this kind of thing. " who are you now? One of them, Your with these kids? Or are you with that other group? The Nine." James questioned John.

[stephenadams]

Stephen wondered why this new guy, who wasn't Keith, attacked the man and then winked at him. Then the man became confused, and asked him weither he was with this new guy or not.

"I honestly don't know. All I know is he used to be my friend Keith and now he's someone else. I'm just as confused as you are." Stephen said, though he actually believed he was more confused.

As if things weren't strange enough another man walked in to the room. He said nothing, just like this new kid did.

"Who the heck are you?" Stephen asked the man, though he seemed a little familiar. Stephen tried to remember the man but couldn't.

[rocky3]

Eric looked over at this new man who arrived. He seemed to be dark and mysterious. Just like the man Keith had drawn for Eric to work for. Eric was an agent of hell in Keith's comic. Trunk to rise an army of fallen angels to take god thrown and his power. To make themselves God and then use his unlimited power to change the world for the better. This was the life that Eric knew. The life of an anti Hero. The life or a worrier who never sleeps and always fights none stop. Eric turned tweeds James. He couldn't believe that he had bended his orb into nothing. Eric thought he could only move them around. He used the orb as a distraction anyway. He wanted to gain James ability. He noticed that there were trips of blood on the floor. Eric deported to them and touched the blood with his fingerer. He had acquired bending from James.

Eric Smiled and deported to the new man who arrived. " I pledge my life to you. use me for your goals. Let me be the tool you use to fix this rotten world. Let my eyes and ears be your spies, Let the my hands and feat be your weapons of destruction. Let my power live to survey you. I am yours to take my soul is sold to you if you wish it so it shall be. I pledge my loyalty to you bound by my words I will never betray you. " Eric finally spoke to this new character. He said this knelled on one knee and his head bowed. Simile to what Keith had done with Stephen. He turned to James. " Abilities don't work on me, You asshole. Today is your finale day on earth. Heaven have mercy on your soul because hell has plans to rip it apart." Eric then threatened James. He turned to Stephen. " Don't worry i wont kill you. Unless you give me a reason to. I think we were Friends. Were we?" Eric asked Stephen.

Then Eric wanted to test his newly acquired Abilities. He Begin to make a fist as red energy surrounded him. Eric smirked. " Time to die Tiger Zodiac."

[steve]

John looked at the man that he couldn't see with parts of his ability. He was asking him if he was with the two kids or if he was with the Nine, which John had little information about.

"I'm not with either. I'm the leader of a group that is trying to fight for special dominece. We're tired of being the ones who have to hide who we are and have to worry about what will happen if they discover who we are. We want to make them know we're better then them." John explained.

John looked at the boy, who seemed to pledge himself to him. John smiled, his group just got a powerful addition to it. It was a good start but he would still need more if he was gonna fight the goverment and the group that Stephen's future self was making. Hopefully Stephen would agree with him and join the group, he may not be able to mimic abilities permeanently but he could mimic abilities from people around him, not through touch.

[rocky4]

It seemed Stephen didn't know who this other child was and didn't know who this new guy was. James nodded. "I don't trust them. Or you for that matter. But you seem like the best bet for someone with good intentions here so i think we should work together. " James told Stephen." Agreed?" He added. He thought that these two new people were dangerous. They had weird vibes that they gave off. It wasn't like it was an ability James had but he could tell that something was off with them. An instinct. One that Tony picked up on also.

Then the kid finally spoke. But not to him or Stephen, No. He had to choose this new dark man to speak with. He just threw himself at the man and pledged his loyalty. " Either hes an idiot child in need of a fatherly role model or hes crazy." James commented. Eric then preceded to trash talk James and tell him he was going to die. He had obtained James ability but the evil childish ways of Eric could not compare to the training James had went threw. He had been learning and meditating everyday to keep his abilities in check. The grater the power the harder it is to control. Eric said he was going to kill him. " Humph you can try if you must but i will worn you your no match for me. I will not be the one that dies tonight. " James gave in to the trash talk fad.

James turned his attention to the mysterious man as he answered his questions. It seemed maybe James was in the clear from these groups of people. He smiled as a sign of relief. But the man was definitely not telling him something. "Your asking for acceptance or dominance from the normals?" James asked the man. " I have been down that road before, it only leads to bloodshed. I wont allow you to kill or be killed. My duty is to protect my kind. " James told John.
