The Omega Squad 5 Chapters Up

[zuko614]

It was after midnight, and the street was completely empty. All of the buildings along it were abandoned. Then, a man came running down it. He was sweaty and out of breath. He looked behind him to see that he was still being followed. Then he tripped and fell. A shadow fell over him. He was still panting and nervous and said "Please, I don't want this. I never asked for it." Several trained men had run up as well, wearing armor and holding guns, pointing them at scared man. The man who had been chasing him leaned over and said "That's not my problem, now is it Mr. Johnson?"


* * * * * * * * * *


John Richfield was on a date with his girlfriend, Maria. They had been dating for several months now, and John thought things were going well. They were walking along one of Tampa Bay's many beaches and talking. Then she turned and looked at him with a smile. Part of her hair had fallen in front of her face. John reached to brush it out, but when his hand touched her forehead, he saw a flash of images in his head. He quickly pulled his hand away. When it happened, his Maria had let out a quiet "ow." "What did you just do?" she asked. John looked stunned and confused. "When I touched you...I...you're breaking up with me?" Maria just looked at him, wide-eyed and said "How did you know that? I hadn't told anyone." John continued to stare, then finally said "I'm not sure. When I touched you, I think I saw your life. I...I saw all of your memories and thoughts." Maria looked at him as if he were crazy and said "What? Are you saying that you're psychic?" John replied "I'm not sure. I really don't know"

The next day, John woke up when his alarm clock went off. He had continued to talk with Maria for hours, before she finally convinced herself that this was a sign that they should be broken up. Once he had gotten home, he had barely slept. He didn't even think about the break up much, But what he had done and seen. A few hours later, as he was googling supernatural events, he heard a knock on the door. He opened it, and a man in his thirties stood there. He said "Hello. My name is Brian Underwood. It's my understanding that you had a..." he paused for a moment then continued "strange occurrence last night." John wondered if he was still dreaming. Brian continued "I understand your reluctance to talk about it. Most people are. But I work with an organization that trains people to control their powers." John was curious now "So, you somehow found out that I had this, how did you put it, occurrance less than 24 hours since it happened. Then you come here and offer to help me with it? What exactly would I have to do? Be expereminted on? Shown to the public as some kind of..." Brian interrupted "I am meeting with two other people who have just discovered what they can do. If you would, please meet us for dinner. If you are not interested, I completely understand" John reluctantly refused, and Brian wrote down some information. "There, meet us at about 7:00 please." After that, Brian left. John was still hesitant, but he wanted to find out what was going on.

John walked into the restaurant and immediately saw Brian sitting with a man and woman, both appeared the same age as himself. Brian smiled when he saw him and said "Glad you could make it. I was worried you wouldn't show up. This is Matt Collins and Susan Myers." Matt smiled and held out his hand "nice to meet you." John shook Matt's hand and replied "Good to meet you too. And you as well Susan." Susan nodded and smiled at John. After they had finished eating and talked about the organization, Brian said "I want to help all of you. Please let me." John looked at Matt and Susan and said "What can you two do?" Then John heard Susan's voice in his head saying "you tell me." John chuckled while saying "funny." Susan smirked back at him. "Oh a mind trick. Amazing." Matt said sarcastically. "Check this out" he leaned over to John and held his hand out. Electricity travelled through his fingers, and then they came out, forming a small ball of electricity in the palm of his hand. "Cool, huh?" John looked at the spectacle and smiled. Brian finally interrupted and said "So, are you coming or not?" They all shifted in their seats, and their was quiet for a minute. Finally, John broke the silence and said "Sure. It sounds good." "You know what, I'm in too." Matt replied. Susan added "Fine. I guess it sounds ok." Brian smiled and looked at all of them while saying "Good. I am very happy to hear that. I will pick all of you up tomorrow morning and we will get started immediately. In the mean time, try to get some sleep." With that, he walked out.

Again, John couldn't sleep. At 10:00 he heard knock on the door. He was dressed and ready to go. He went out and was greeted by Brian. They got into his van and John saw Matt and Susan already there. After about an hour of driving, Brian pulled the van over. Susan asked "Brian, why have we stopped?" Brian sighed, then turned around and looked at all of them. "I haven't been completely honest with you." The three of them began staring at him, fearing the worst. "My organization is a branch of the government. We have been, well, they like to say 'collecting' people with powers. I was 'collected' once, and because of my powers they said I could either help them or be killed. My answer should be rather obvious." Matt grabbed Brian by the throat and created a ball of electricity and held it inches from Brian's face. "Why shouldn't I kill you now?" Matt said, obviously wanting to hurt him. "Because Collins" Brian looked at Matt "Why would I tell you all of this instead of letting you get captured?" Matt knew he couldn't kill Brian justly now, then he looked at Susan. "Can you tell if he's telling the truth? Can you read his mind?" Susan, a little shaken, replied "yes, I think so." After she concentrated on him for a minute, she finally said "He's telling the truth. He doesn't want to take us in. He wants us to take down the facility he was taking us to." Brian quickly said "Yes. I've finally found people strong enough to do it...you." Matt realased his grip, but kept the electricity ready. Brian continued "Susan, your psychic powers are very strong, and Matt, the same thing goes for your electricity. But John, you were the one that convinced me that now was the time. Because you have the ability to take other people's thoughts. And since the way to use every power is all in the person's head, you can take everyone's. And I would like for you to take Matt and Susan's now please." John just stared, then turned to the two of them. Susan said "Go ahead. He's telling the truth." Matt agreed as well. John put his hand on their foreheads, and after a long time of concentration eventually took both. Then Brian continued driving. They got to the facility half an hour after they had restarted. After travelling through several forms of security, the four of them were surrounded by guards. The leader of them said "Good job Brian. This looks like a good batch." Brian smiled, and looked back at the John, Matt, and Susan. "you have no idea how good." He paused, letting the guards get closer. Then he yelled "NOW"

[Kiara]

when can we expect next chappy zu?
I love it

[zuko614]

I'm hoping by Friday night at the latest.

and if you could come up with a name for the guy in the first paragraph(the one who said "that's not my problem, now is it mr. johnson", I'd really appreciate it. I need something cool/unique/fearful.(no first and last name, just one)

[Kiara]

umm I will try

[zuko614]

"NOW" Brian yelled. Matt quickly shot out electricity at two of the guards, and Susan used her telekenesis to knock out another. John shot electricity at one guard, then used his mind to send another flying into a wall. Brian pulled a gun out and held it to the main guard's chest. The guard looked at him in disgust and said "You treacherous little..." but Brian knocked him over the head with his gun before he could finish his sentence.

The four began walking quickly, Brian typing in codes to unlock doors. As they walked, Brian questioned them, making sure they remembered what to do.He had spent their time in the van telling them his plan, and codes to multiple cells. Brian continued talking "It's very important that you don't type in the wrong code for any of the cells or doors. If you do, the results could be fatal." The three nodded, showing they knew they couldn't mess up. Brian came up to two different doors, and said "This is where we separate. I'll take care of security. You three will encounter a little resistance, but it shouldn't be much. Good luck to all of you." He finished typing in the codes to both doors and went into the right one. John, Matt, and Susan went into the left.

The three of them came to an elevator, and John typed in the code, hesitating at first, obviously a little nervous. The elevator opened, and each one of them typed in a different code inside. A different code for a different level of the facility. Matt was the first to get off, then Susan. Finally, John had reached his level. He got off and went to cell number 324, and typed in the code that Brian had told him would correspong to that cell. It worked. There was a man inside, staring at John.
"What do you want now?" he asked.
"I'm here to free you. We're breaking you out."
"We? Who's We?" the man asked, obviously not trusting John.
John answered, "Me, and a couple other people like us. And Brian Underwood.
The man's eyes widened when John said Brian's name. He stared at John for a moment, then asked "You do know that he's the reason we're in here, don't you? He's the person that locked us up."
John already had an answer, the one Brian had told all of them to say "What have you got to lose by coming with me? Because if I wasn't freeing you, I could just take you by force" John looked at the man, hoping this had convinced him.
"The name's Benjamin Gato. Nice to meet you..." He looked at John, waiting for him to finish the sentence.
"John. John Richfield." And with that, John went to free the other two prisoners he had been told about on this level.


* * * * * * * * * *


Brian entered a code, and then entered into a room. There were screens with various areas of the facility. A guard was there, holding a gun on the door, and then on Brian once he walked in. Brian looked at him and said "Saw me on the screen, huh?"
"Don't move" the guard said rather nervously. "Don't make me shoot you."
Brian noticed the fear in his voice, and knew that outside of training, he probably had never been in a dangerous situation in his life. Brian quickly pulled a gun from his holster and pointed it at the guard. They were both holding guns at each other now, and there was a brief pause. Then Brian broke the silence by saying "Lower your weapon, now. I will shoot you. And believe me, I've had a lot more practice than you."
The guard knew that Brian was much better than he was. He knew that even if he fired a shot and hit him, Brian would manage to get a shot off as well. He slowly lowered his weapon, and then Brian walked over and hit him over the head, rendering him unconscious.

Brian looked over the controls, and flipped a few switches. He picked up a speaker, and pushed in a button to turn it on. He spoke into it, saying "Attention. All security personnel. There has been an intrusion and attempted breakout. Suspects are heading to level five and have disrupted use of elevators. Repeat, all security personnel to level five." He then turned the transmittor off, and left the room.


* * * * * * * * * *


John had released two other people from cells, a man named Daniel Hendricks and a woman named Katherine Summers. They were heading back to the elevator, and when they got in, Matt was there with a woman. Matt looked at the three people John had gotten and said "run into any trouble?"
"No. Brian's announcement over the loudspeaker must have run off the guards that might have come my way. Come on, let's see how Susan did." With that, the four of them entered the elevator and pushed in the code for her floor.


* * * * * * * * * *


Brian waited as the large blast doors slowly opened. Inside them were vehicles. But the only one he cared about was the jet. It had the speed to get halfway across the globe in just a few hours. One of a kind is what he had always been told. When the doors finally opened all the way, he walked in and saw a man waiting for him. "Hello Underwood. I always knew this day would come" he smeered at him.
Brian smirked and replied "I've been waiting a long time to finally kill you. After everything you've done. The pain you've caused. You're never going to hurt another person Benson."
"Especially to you, right?" he interrupted Brian's little speech. "I'm afraid I can't let you have the jet" he continued "that is, unless you can actually kill me. But come now Underwood, do you seriously believe you are anywhere as good as me?"
There was a brief pause, then Brian pulled his gun and pointed it at Benson. "Your torment over innocent people is over."
"I don't think so" Benson said, quickly rolling behind a few supply boxes. Brian shot at him, but missed. "Tell you what Underwood, what do you say to finishing this petty little fight without guns. That way, you can actually try to prove that you're better than me." As he finished, he rolled two guns across the floor. Brian hesitated, then put his gun down.
"All right. That way, I can kill you slowly. And humiliate you at the same time."
Brian smiled as he finished the sentence. Benson ran up quickly to Brian, and punched at him. Brian blocked with ease, and they exchanged blows, some landing on each other, but most being blocked. The fight continued for several minutes, neither one gaining the upper hand. Then Benson was able to trip Brian, and as he landed, Benson pulled another gun out. It was a small gun, easy for him to conceal it.
He smirked as he pointed the gun at Brian's head. "I guess this is it, isn't it?"
Suddenly, Benson felt something hit him. It flung him across the room several feet. Brian looked over and exclaimed with joy "MATT!"
Matt, John, and Susan were running up with six other people. Matt had shot Benson with a bolt of electricity.
Still lying on the ground, Brian yelled "See that jet over there." He pointed as he slowly got up. "Everyone get in now." He ran over to the jet and typed in another code.
Matt saw it, and said with a chuckle "How many codes does this place have?"
Then, there were three gunshots fired. The ten of them spun around, and saw that the guards were there. Benson was getting up, and he had fired the shots. Brian looked at the escaped prisoners, and saw that one of them had been shot. He fell over, the others stunned from this.
"I told you" Benson yelled at them "You can't win. You can't escape. You should have learned that from Jake and Amy, Brian."
Brian looked at the dead body on the ground, and said Benjamin Gato, we could really use your power right about now."
One of the men stepped up and created a shield around all of them.
"FIRE" Benson yelled, and all of the guards began shooting. The bullets just hit the shield and fell down.
"Everyone into the jet now." Brian yelled as he ran in himself. The others followed, except for Ben. John waited at the entrance, hoping he could help in some way. Brian began flipping switches and pushing buttons, causing the jet to start up. He leaned back and yelled "Get Ben in here now. But make sure he keeps that shield up." John relayed the message, and he helped Ben slowly back into the jet entrance. The shield was obviously getting weaker, a few bullets had gotten through. Ben was doing everything he could to keep the shield up, and the jet slowly turned and left through the blast doors.
"Sir," one of the soldiers said, walking up to Benson "do you want us to take them out of the sky?"
Benson hesitated a moment, then said "No, that jet is far too expensive to lose. Besides, Brian knows we can track it. He'll leave it as soon as he can."
Benson looked at the dead man who had tried to escape, then watched as the jet left his vision.





whoo, long chappy. I'm going to write some brief character profiles and looks. I'll post some pics of certain people of "who would play them if this was a movie and I had an unlimited budget." Just off and on, I'll post profiles. and they will include drawn pics of what their powers look like(I hope. I'm gonna give it a try, but I might not be good enough)

[Kiara]

brill ^^
did you think of a name for that guy? I havent had much inspiration >.<

[zuko614]

Everyone was quiet. They were all thinking about what had just happened. They were free, but one of them had been shot, had been killed. Brian wanted to say something, to help them, but he knew it was better for them to deal with it their own way. Then One of the girls spoke up, breaking the silence.
"My name is Katherine Summers" she paused briefly, then continued "I have like a freezing ability." Several of the group looked up at her. She held her hand up as it slowly turned an icy blue color, with frosty air venting from it. Then she reached down and froze part of the wall behind her.
One of the men gave a sarcastic grunt at the power and said "check this out." He then created a ball of fire in the palm of his hand.
They continued introducing themselves, showing what they could do. Matt, John, and Susan went next.
Then Benjamin Gato created a shield as he had earlier, and he also was able to fly.
Rick Dorsey was able to turn invisible.
There was only one person left. They looked at her, waiting to see what she could do.
"Um, I'm Jessica Wilkins. I can't really show my power. Every now and then, I'll see the future."
"Cool" Matt responded quickly.
"Kinda" she continued "But I don't know when in time what I see takes place. It could be five minutes or days or even years."
There was a brief pause when Rick spoke to Brian "Why did you free us. I mean, you were the one who brought me there."
Brian shifted in his seat, then replied "I never wanted to capture all of you. I was...forced into it."
"How?" John asked
"A long time ago, I was like all of you. I was a prisoner. Then one day, Agent Benson offered me a deal. I could be free somewhat if I 'recruited' people like you. Of course I refused. I knew how bad it was on the inside, and I didn't want to ruin anyone's life by bringing them here. But Benson was persistent. He said that if I didn't do it..." Brian paused, obviously not wanting to continue. He was almost crying.
John asked "What happened?"
Brian sat there a moment. Nothing could be heard but the engines of the jet. Then he continued "He found my family. My siblings, Jake and Amy. He killed Jake in front of me." Tears were streaming down his face now. "And he said that if I didn't work for him he would kill Amy too. I had no choice."
No one said anything. No one knew what to say. But that wasn't the end of the story.
Brian continued "After about a year, I tried to take him down. I didn't stand a chance then. He killed Amy that night. Then he told me that if I didn't continue working for him, he would just kill innocents. I had seen enough of him to believe it."
Brian's face was covered in tears by now. No one said anything. There was only quiet for half an hour. Finally, Matt broke the silence.
"If you don't mind my asking, why was he so interested in you?"
Brian had stopped crying, and replied "Because of my power. I can see what other people can do. What ability they have. Not only that but I can find them. Sense them I guess would be a better way to describe it."
After that, no one talked for a long time. It felt awkward for everyone, and eventually Brian said "We'll be landing in about fife minutes. Everyone buckle up." No one really knew how long they had been flying. It was a few hours was the best anyone could guess. Brian landed in either a very private airport, or an abandoned one. They all got off of the jet.
Then John asked "Brian, you never actually said why you freed us."
Brian looked at him and smiled and said "You'll all know soon enough. Just get into that van and I'll explain on the way" he said as he nodded towards the only thing besides the jet anywhere near them. They all got in, and Brian took the wheel.
"I want to form a team of superheroes with you" he said as he started the van and began driving. "If we all work together, we can save so many lives. We can help people control their powers so that they never have to worry what would happen if they lost control."
Matt interrupted him, saying "What, do you want us to become like the Justice League or something."
Brian chuckled at the comment and replied "No. I want you to keep quiet about what you can do. No one can know until the timing is right. Otherwise, there's going to be a lot of trouble all at once. And I'm not forcing this team on you. It's your decision. If you want to go back to your old life, that's fine. If you want to just try the team, you can leave whenever you want. Sleep on it tonight."
There was silence for a while. After about half an hour of driving, Brian pulled into the parking lot of what appeared to be an abandoned wearhouse.
"We're here." Brian said as he got out of the van. The others followed him until they came to a large door with a number key to the side. Brian typed in a code, and Matt rolled his eyes as he did this. The door went up, and the inside of the building looked amazing. It was very high tech, and looked nothing like you would have guessed by the outside. There was a man inside.
He said "My name is Michael Harwin . And I welcome all of you to what will hopefully be your new home. That is if you choose to join the Omega Squad."
They all laughed, and Matt looked at Brian to say "You gave us a name? If we join are we supposed to wear tights?"
Brian laughed and said "Only if you want to."
Matt gave a sarcastic laugh at the remark, and asked "Where do we sleep?"
Michael stepped forward and said "I'll show you to your rooms. We will meet to discuss whether you join or leave tomorrow at 10:00 AM." Michael showed them all to their rooms.


* * * * * * * * * *


The next morning, they all gradually came into the kitchen. Almost everything was automated. They felt more comfortable with each other this morning. They were all talking. Nearly at 10:00 on the dot, Brian and Michael walked in.
"Well, were any of you actually able to sleep?" Brian smiled as the group gave a small laugh.
Brian paused before asking "What are your decisions?"
John stood up from where he was sitting and said "I'm in."
Daniel and Susan stood up as well and said the same thing. Then Matt,Benjamin, and Katherine all joined. Only Rick and Jessica hadn't answered.
Rick stood up and paused for a moment. Finally, he spoke "If I join the team, and later on I want to leave. Will I be able to?"
"Yes" Brian replied "It is entirely your decision."
"Then I'm in" Rick said with a smile.
Jessica remained sitting and finally stood and said "I guess I'll give this team a shot as well."
Brian smiled, seeing that everyone was willing to try it out. "Good. Training will begin tomorrow. In the mean time, just relax. Get to know your new teammates." With that, Brian and Michael left the room, leaving the eight of them alone once again.


* * * * * * * * * *


Agent Benson was walking down a long hallway, as a man in armored clothing ran up beside him.
He was out of breath, and said "Agent Benson, sir. You have been given permission to move B.A.S.E. to Los Angeles. And these are special orders about what to do about Brian and his group."
The man handed Benson an unopened folder, then saluted and walked off. Benson opened the folder and began reading, and as he did a smile crept across his face.


* * * * * * * * * *


Brad Stevenson was counting his money as he walked down a street. Lately, he had been experiencing super human strength, and he was reaping the benefits of it. He went to a local fight club every week and made money off of every person who thought they could beat him. He had finished for the night and was heading home, when someone spoke to him.
"Brad Stevenson." It was a deep voice coming from a man in shadows. Brad squinted, trying to make out the man's face but could not.
"Who are you?" Brad asked the stranger
"I have an offer for you" he replied
"I'm not looking for jobs now. Thanks but no thanks." Brad replied as he started walking again.
The man laughed. But it wasn't a normal laugh. It sounded as if two people were there, laughing together. The man then continued, "My offer is a bit more" he paused briefly
"complicated."
Brad looked again, becoming interested in the offer. "What kind of offer?"
The man laughed again, and again it sounded like two voices. He replied "Why don't you take a walk with me."






sorry it took so long for this one. I've been really busy so it got held up for a few days. Also, I'm going to write descriptions/post pics of what I imagine everyone looking like. That will hopefully be up by next week. Then I'll start working on chapter 4. and whenever the writing is shaded like this that means it sounds like two people. And the name for the guy is Benson(thanks to longthedragon/griffin)

[Kiara]

new chappy today? :3 *hopeful*

[zuko614]

The Omegas were having breakfast together. It had been a couple of weeks since they met and they were getting along very well now. Daniel walked up to Susan, who was pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"Susan, I've been wanting to ask you something."
"What?"
"Well I was wondering, since you can read minds and all, have you ever read mine?"
"I'll say this much" she smiled at him "When we first met, you made me blush." She then walked over to the rest of the group, and Daniel gave an embarrassed laugh before walking over as well.

* * * * * * * * * *

It was the afternoon now. The team had headed to the second floor of the building, which had been specifically designed for training. There was a long room padded with rubber walls, with Matt and John inside practicing their electrical attacks. There was a brick wall where Daniel practiced his fire attacks. Katherine had a dummy she tried freezing specific parts of. Susan had several objects, each of different sizes, trying to levitate and move around. Rick had a dummy he was trying to turn invisible. Michael was sitting in a corner with several gadgets, and was working on another one.
Brian was with Jessica, trying to help her get a grasp on her power.
"Just try to focus. Try to see your future."
"I am trying."
"Take your time. We're here to get better, there's no rush on getting your powers under control."
She shut her eyes and tried to see her future, when she opened her eyes and let out a gasp. The color in her eyes were gone. Instead there was a small image inside. Brian looked closer and saw what appeared to be people.
"Jessica, can you here me? Jessica?"
The others stopped what they were doing and started to form a circle around Brian and Jessica.
"Is she okay?" Daniel asked Brian
"I'm not sure. I think it's her power" Brian replied
"You think or you know?" John asked, obviously concerned for Jessica's safety.
Then Jessica came out of her "trance" and breathed deeply for several seconds, everyone asking her if she was alright.
"I'm fine. But I think I just saw the future. Not mine, but a girl's."
"Who's?" Brian asked immediately
"I don't know. I saw her address. At least I think
it's her address. But she was being attacked by a
man. We have to help."
Brian leaned back in his chair, thinking about what should be done.
"No. Not this time."
"What?" Daniel said aggervated. "I thought this is why we formed the team. To help people in danger."
"Eventually, yes. But you aren't in control of your powers enough yet." Brian replied sternly.
"Sorry Brian," John stepped up and helped Jessica out of her seat "but I'm not going to sit back just because I don't have perfect control of my powers yet."
"You don't even know if this is the immediate future, or it could even be the past." Brian said, trying to convince them to stay. But everyone's mind had been made up. They all started to leave, and Brian stood up and rushed to catch up with them.
"Wait. If you are going to do this," Brian let out a sigh "at least let me come along. I'll drive."

* * * * * * * * * *

Brad Stevenson walked up a driveway and knocked on the door at the end of it. A man answered the door and greeted him.
"Hello. Are you Phillip Miller_? My name is Brad Stevenson. Is Elizabeth home?
"What do you need with Elizabeth?"
"I would like to talk to your daughter alone, if you don't mind."
"Actually, I do. Now what do you need with Elizabeth?"
"Sir, I'm sure you know exactly what she can do. I'm here to help her. I'm a member of a Society made up of people with abilities like your daughter's"
"Are you from the governement?"
Brad laughed before continuing. "Believe me. It's better for her to come with me before the government finds out about her."
"I'm sorry, but no. Me and my wife are keeping her here."
Brad's smile disappeared, and he stood there for a moment.
"You'll want to give her to me peacefully. I am taking her, by any means necessary."
Phillip tried to shut the door but Brad put his arm
up, holding the door in it's place. Then Brad pushed on the door with great force, throwing Phillip across the room. He started to get up, but Brad pushed him back down with great force. He then saw that a woman was holding a gun at him. She was across the room from him, in front of an entrance to a hallway.
"Go ahead and shoot." Brad said to her as he started walking towards the doorway.
She started shaking as he got closer, then finally yelled at him.
"Get back. I will shoot."
"Like I said, go ahead."
Once he was only a couple steps away from her, she fired. It hit his chest, and pushed him back a little. Then he started walking towards her again.
She fired again and again until she ran out of bullets, but they had no effect. She fired several more times, hoping to get another shot off. But failed.
She dropped the gun and ran down the hall, going in front of a closed door. Brad followed.
"Get out of the way" he snarled at her.
"Leave my house. please" she said, tears starting to form in her eyes.
Brad smiled, then pushed her with enough force to break through the door. He walked into the room and saw a girl on the phone. She was upset, giving information about where she lived. Brad knew she was calling the cops. He walked over and pulled the cord out of the wall.
"The police are going to be here any minute" she said, fighting back tears. "Just leave, please."
Brad walked over to a dresser in her room, and crushed it with ease.
"See that? That could be you if you don't come along peacefully."
Elizabeth reluctantly got up, figuring it was safer to do as he said than to disobey.

* * * * * * * * * *

The van the Omegas were using sped to the address Jessica had seen. Once they arrived, they saw a man and a girl walking out.
"Is that her?" Brian asked, looking at Jessica
Jessica hesitated,then said "Yes, I think so."
"All right Omegas, Move out." Matt said, causing several of them to laugh.
"What? I'm just trying to make this fun" he said as he and the others got out of the van.
Brad saw them, and yelled "Who are all of you?"
"Let her go" John yelled back at him.
"Why don't you make me."
Susan then lifted Brad into the air, and Elizabeth started running away.
"I'll go after her, you guys stay here and keep an
eye on that guy" Daniel said as he started running after Elizabeth.
The Omegas walked over to Brad, and as soon as they were close he said "Would you mind letting me go. Your grip is kinda tight."
"Make one move, and I'll grab you even tighter." Susan said as she released him, but ready to grab him again.
"Thanks" Brad replied, quickly tapping the ground
with his foot before Susan could grab him again. It sent tremors in all directions, making the Omegas lose their balance. Susan couldn't focus enough to get a hold of him, and then Brad pounded the ground repeatedly with his fist. Brad used the moment to run after Daniel and Elizabeth.

* * * * * * * * * *

Daniel finally caught up with Elizabeth, grabbing her and asking for her to stop.
"Leave me alone"Elizabeth said, out of breath and trembling.
"I don't want to hurt you. Me and my friends are here to save you."
"How did you know I needed saving?"
"Well, one of my friends can see the future. She saw you in danger, we came here, and you know the rest."
"Why should I trust you?"
"Beats sticking around with that other guy, doesn't it?"
Elizabeth thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Come on, let's get back there. I'm sure your kidnapper is being taken care of."
Daniel and Elizabeth turned around to see Brad standing there.
"Not exactly" He said as he pushed Daniel about twenty feet back. Then he grabbed Elizabeth and started walking with her. Daniel slowly got up, and saw them walking towards him.
Daniel created a fireball in his hand, then threw it
at Brad. It happened too fast for Brad to react to it, and the fireball hit him on the chest. But all it did was burn his shirt.The part of his skin it hit wasn't burned at all.
"You'll have to do better than that." Brad yelled at Daniel.
"How about this?" a voice from behind him asked.
Brad felt hands on each side of his face. Then, electricity surged through his face, then the rest of his body. He fell to the ground, losing grip of Elizabeth the first pain he felt.
Matt was the one who had attacked him, and asked the two if they were all right.
"I'm fine. What about you?" Daniel replied as he turned to look at Elizabeth.
"I...I'm fine." she said, her voice still trembling. "Is he...dead?"
Police sirens could now be heard coming up to the house.
"It doesn't matter, we're leaving. Brian gave specific orders not to get involved with the police. Come on, let's get back to the van."

* * * * * * * * * *


Back at the Omega's building, Elizabeth had been introduced to everyone.They thought it was safer to be there than at the hospital with her parents, in case someone tried to attack her again. Brian had gone to check up on them, and walked in after being gone for about an hour.
"Elizabeth, I don't now how to say this. I'm so sorry. They didn't make it. The force of impact each of them had was too much." Brian said sympathetically. Elizabeth began to cry, while Brian
continued "We'd be more than happy for you to stay here. Even if it's just temporary."
Elizabeth tried to talk between the tears, but couldn't. She only nodded, and that was enough.

* * * * * * * * * *


"I'm sorry Master." Brad said, kneeling in front of a man. "I shouldn't have failed you."
"Don't be sorry, Brad" The man said. "You did well. I never expected you to actually get her once the Omegas showed up. You are no match for eight people with abilities. But we will get her once the time is right. Once she has perfected control over her ability."

sorry it took so long to write this one. but I warned you that it would be late with avatar ending. and I'm going to be on vacation the next week. I hope to get the next chappy written on the trip. That way, all I have to do is type it up. I'm also going to draw some sketches of what the training room looks like(hopefully)

[Kiara]

*squees*
new chappy soon? =3

[zuko614]

Brad looked over the room, seeing all the people who had joined the Society the past few weeks. Most of them wanted to try it out. Those that liked it became members. The ones that didn't, Brad was told to give to The Master so he could "take care of them".

Every few days, he was contacted by The Master about someone who needed recruiting. He didn't know how The Master found them, but he never wanted to ask either. Today was one of the days he was told of someone. But this time, he was told to bring someone long with him. Ashley Kerrington. According to The Master, this was going to be her test.

* * * * * * * * * *

The Omegas were growing restless. They had only left their building a few times during the past month. But they had made good use of their time. Many of them had become more powerful through training, especially Elizabeth.

She was determined to gain complete control of her power, shapeshifting. She wanted to perfect it, but Brian was worried whenever she practiced. Many times he told her that if she lost focus one of the times she had changed, she might not be able to change back. So for now, she was just practicing with her hands, changing them into various shapes.

Brian was using flashcards to time Elizabeth's reaction time, when Jessica grabbed her head, and lost her balance. Luckily, Rick was close enough to catch her. The color in her eyes was gone again. She was having another premonition.

Just as before, she began breathing heavily as the color returned to her eyes.

"What did you see this time?" John asked her.
"I saw a man being attacked. He was being attacked by the same person that was after Elizabeth." Jessica replied.

Elizabeth's eyes widened when she heard this.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go" Elizabeth said as she started walking towards the door.
"You're nt going Elizabeth. You aren't ready yet." Brian said as he grabbed Elizabeth's shoulder. "The only reason you really care care about going is to get revenge. Not to mention you don't have enough control of your power yet."
Elizabeth turned and looked at him. "I'm going" she said, obviously annoyed with Brian.
"Look, I understand. Trust me, I really do. And once you get more control of your power, you can go and do whatever you want. But please, for now, wait."
Elizabeth looked at her teammates, and knew they would agree with Brian. And deep down, even she knew he was right.
"Fine" she finally said as she moved out of te way so the Omegas could leave.

* * * * * * * * * *

Brad threw the new recruit against the wall of an alley.
"The Master said you were a strong one. I guess he was wrong." Brad said as he picked up the man and held him in the air.
"Or maybe I didn't want to do this in the middle of the street, even if it was deserted."

As he finished his statement, he pulled Brad into the air. In less than a second they were several hundred feet in the air.
"I don't really like you government agents chasing me. I thought I made that point last time."

Brad laughed before saying "I'm not with the government. I'm like you. At least in certain ways. Drop me, and I'll survive the landing. In fact, I won't have a scratch on me."
"You know what, I'll take you up on that offer."

He let go of Brad. After a few seconds of falling, he hit the pavement. There was a small cloud of dust from the impact, but Brad soon walked out of it. His clothes were torn, but besides that he was unharmed.

"Is that all you g..." Brad started to say, but was shot by Matt's electrical attack before he could finish.
"Flying. That is a cool power." Matt said as the man landed in front of the team.
"I'm guessing you're not with him." He said as he pointed back to Brad.
"I had a vision of him attacking you. We came to help." Jessica replied.
"Cool. The name's Everett Manson."

Before they could continue, a dart his Everett's neck. He reached back and pulled it out, looking at it before collapsing. A woman behind him lowered a gun.

"Ashley?" Rick asked in astonishment. He took a couple of steps towards her.
"Hey Rick. Long time no see." she said with a smile.
"You know her?" Katherine asked.
"Know her? I used to date her." Rick replied, still in shock.
"Whether she's an old friend or not, she just shot Everett with some kind of dart." Susan said.

She reached her hand out, to get a psychic hold on Ashley. But nothing happened. Brad was now walking up , and he stopped next to Ashley.
"Uh, Susan, it would be nice if you could grab them." Daniel said.
"I...I'm trying, but it's not working."
John tried as well, but it did no good.

"Looks like this time it's going to be a more fair fight." Brad said, before pounding the ground as he had done before. Matt was shooting electricity at him, but lost his balance and missed. Once he regained his balance, Brad was right in front of him. Brad grabbed him, and threw him against a wall, knocking him out.

Ashley ran over and tackled Rick. The rest of the Omegas started attacking Brad.

"It's been a while since we've met like this." Ashley smiled as she laid on top of Rick.
"What are you doing with that guy?"
"Oh, we're not together if that's what you're worried about."
"No, I mean attacking us and Everett."
"Hey, you were the one that interfered with us."
"Yeah, sorry to spoil your kidnapping."
"That's how I was brought in. And I practically fell in love with the Society since then. You should join us."
"Sorry, I'm already part of the Omegas."
Rick shoved Ashley off of him, and stood up. He saw Katherie freeze Brad's legs. He struggled briefly before breaking the ice. John shot electricity at him, and Brad tried to dodge. But it was too fast. It hit him, and sent him flying through the air.

Ashley reloaded her gun with another dart as Rick ran over to try to help out the Omegas. She shot him before he could get very far. She reloaded again and shot Daniel, Benjain as well. Finally, Matt realized what she was doing. He and the others had been so occuppied with Brad that they had completely forgotten about her.

Matt raised his hand, with a ball of electricity in it.
"Lower the gun now. I will shoot if you don't."
Ashley pulled the trigger, and as soon as she did Matt shot electricity at her. He had learned to control how powerful his attacks were, and this one was strong enough to knock her out, but not do long term damage. But Ashley's dart still hit it's target, Katherine.

Only John, Matt, and Susan were still standing. John and Matt were about to attack together, when Matt was hit on the back of his head by Ashley. She used the barrel of her gun to give make sure it rendered him unconscious.
"Next time you try to take someone out, make sure they stay down."
John's attack had missed as Brad rolled out of the way. Then Brad put his finger up to his ear.
"Whatever you say. Ashley, new orders. We're leaving." He yelled as he started running down another street. Ashley followed him, and so did John and Susan.

Susan was falling behind, so she yelled at John.
"I don't think I can keep up wi..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was grabbed ad thrown against a building. John turned around to see her lying on the ground.
"SUSAN" he yelled as he started running back to her.

He ran only a few feet towards her before being punched the face. John tried to see who his attacker was, but the blows were coming in too fast. The last one was strong enough to knock him over. He looked up, trying to see who it was. Before he could get a glimpse of his attacker, he was grabbed, lifted into the air, and thrown onto the ground.

John was now bleeding from several wounds. He tried to get up, but a hand grabbed the side of his face and forced him down to the pavement. The attacker held him down, and John was too injured to fight back.

"Listen very closely John. The next time the Omega Squad tries to interfere with one of my recruitments, I will kill one of you. Each interferance will result in another death. So be glad that this time, you couldn't save Everett Manson from me."

As soon as he finished talking, John felt the hand holding him down leave. He rolled over onto his back. No one was there. John couldn't hold onto consciousness any longer. He closed his eyes, knowing that he and the Omegas had failed to protect Everett.









Ashley Kerrington: image



Don't get used to getting them this soon. I had a lot of time just riding the past week(vacation), so I got it all written then and have taken the past couple of days to type it up. I usually won't have that much time, so judging from how long it took me the first few chapters, I would say expect the next chapter in two to three weeks.

[Kiara]

when will you have next chappy ready? =P

[zuko614]

I'm not sure. I had a bit of writer's block for a while, but now it's nearly gone. I just need to think of how to actually end the chapter and I'll type it up. hopefully about one week(don't hold me to that)

[Kiara]

ok, no rush ^^

[zuko614]

Daniel and Susan came out of the sparring room laughing.
"Maybe you'll actually be able to escape my psychic hold on you eventually" Susan said with a smile.
"Maybe I wouldn't want to" he said back, smiling himself. There was a brief pause before he continued. "Um, I've been meaning to ask you something."
"What?"
"Would you like to get some dinner with me tomorrow night?"
"I'd like that."
Daniel smiled, obviously relieved that Susan said yes. He continued "I guess we can talk time and place later."
"Sure. I'll come over to your room later."

A sudden explosion threw them forward onto the ground. Susan gasped in surprise at the noise, clasping her hands over her ears with her mouth open. A canister landed between the two of them, and smoke started shooting out of both ends of it. Susan used her mind to throw it away, but the smoke was already causing her and Daniel to pass out…


*****************


“Brian, wake up. Brian.”
Brian started to open his eyes when he heard a familiar voice. But he couldn’t recognize who it was yet. His sight was still blurry, so he couldn’t see who it was.
“About time you got up. Now, I’d like to have you and your team’s attention for a few short minutes.”
Brian knew the voice now. It was Benson’s. Brian tried to stand up, but his arms and legs were pinned down to a chair. Metal rings were holding him in. He looked around the room and saw that all of the Omegas were being held down the same way.
“What… What’s going on?” He asked, still in a bit of a daze.
“I need your help capturing an escaped man.”
“Who?”
“Alecto Vlasta”
“You let Vlasta escape?”
“Actually, he was broken out.”
“By who?”
“I’m afraid we don’t know that.”
“Why do you need the Omega’s help? He’s more dangerous with super powered people around.”
“I actually came for two reasons. One, to get your help in stopping him. During which, I can see just how strong your team is against a real threat. Two, to offer you a treaty. As long as your team doesn’t harm the innocent people of the city, B.A.S.E. will work alongside you to capture people who are threats.”
“So basically, we fight them and you lock them up?”
“Basically, yes.”
“What about the people who aren’t threats?”
“If you don’t want them locked up too, you’ll have to watch over them like you are with Elizabeth Miller.”
“If I agree, you won’t try to lock up the Omegas? You’ll only help us stop the dangerous people?”
“That’s all we will do. You have my word.”
“Let me talk to the rest of the team about it. Alone.”
“Of course. Men.” Benson motioned towards the door, and the soldiers in the room unlocked the Omegas, then ran out. “Once you’ve decided, we’ll be right outside.”


*****************


“I still don’t like it.” John said, pacing back and forth.
“I don’t think any of us do.” Daniel said, obviously upset.
“I don’t trust Benson.” Brian said to the team, “but if we don’t agree to this, he’s going to lock us all up. He caught us off guard today, and he could do it again with ease. So at least for now we have no choice but to work with him.”
None of the Omegas said anything. They knew Brian was right, but none of them liked it. Not one bit.


*****************


“This is a photo of Alecto.” Benson said as he handed a photo to each of the Omegas. He is a rank four with the ability…”
“Rank four?” John interrupted.
Benson looked directly at Brian. “Have you told them anything?” He looked back to the rest of the Omegas. “Basically, we give you ranks depending on how strong you are. One through five. Rank one is for those who have just discovered their abilities. Five is for the strongest.”
“And he’s rank four. Which would mean he’s very strong, right?” Katherine asked.
“Yes, he is. He has nearly mastered his ability to control others.” Benson replied.
“Control others? Like a psychic?” Susan asked.
“Not exactly. He looks into people’s eyes, and can control them. In other words, do not look into his eyes. He also has increased physical attributes due to some testing we performed on him while he was in our custody.

Benson put his hand up to his ear and turned away from the Omegas. “Good.” He said. “I’ll be on location in five minutes.” Benson looked back at the team. “Alecto Vlasta has been spotted. We’re moving out. You’ll be given proper equipment on the way.”


*****************


The Omegas were dropped off at a location near Alecto. They were given earpieces that could also pick up their voices. Benson had told them all they needed to do was stall for about ten minutes. By then, snipers would be in position to tranquilize him, and, if necessary, kill him.

“Vlasta has stopped moving.” Benson was reporting over their earpieces. “He’s in an ally. It looks like he’s waiting for someone. Probably whoever broke him out. Half of you Omegas need to be on each side of the entrance to the alley.

They did as he said. “You guys ready for a good fight?” John asked.
“I’ve been wanting to win a fight all day.” Daniel said, and smiled at Susan.
“All right, quit the chatter.” Benson said, annoyed. “Collins, on my signal shoot some lightning at him.”
“Actually, it’s more electricity than it is lightning” Matt said in a mocking tone.
Benson ignored the remark. “Attack, now.”
“You got it.” Matt created an electrical ball in his hand and moved to the middle of the entrance to the alley, and shot electricity at Alecto. He saw in plenty of time, and dodged.
“I guess you’re Benson’s lackey. First day out of his prison and I already get a good fight.”

John then stepped out and shot electricity at Alecto, but he was able to dodge it.
“Everyone move in NOW” Benson ordered.
The rest of the Omegas ran into Alecto’s sight.
“Well, well, the cavalry has arrived.” Alecto said with a smirk. “Come on. Do your worst.”
He starting charging towards them. He kept dodging John and Matt’s electrical attacks, and Susan couldn’t get a hold on him. He was moving too fast. He grabbed Matt and threw him into Susan. Then he grabbed John and looked at him, his eyes turning black. John tried to look away, but it all happened too quickly. John’s eyes turned black, then Alecto let go of him.

“Things just got a lot more even.” Alecto said with a laugh.
John reached his hands out and grabbed Ben and Katherine in a psychic hold, then pushed them back over fifty feet into a wall. Both his and Alecto’s eyes were still black.


*****************


“WHERE THE HELL ARE MY SNIPERS?” Benson snapped at no one in particular.
A soldier ran up and said “They are on their way. Their ETA is two minutes.”
“By then it might be too late. Let me know as soon as they’re in position.”
“Yes sir.” The soldier saluted, then left.


*****************


“Come on, John. Snap out of it.” Daniel said while rolling away from an electrical attack.
“You know, as strong as Benson made Vlasta sound, I doubt saying snap out of it is going to work.” Matt said, trying to run to Alecto. Matt started to punch him, but couldn’t actually hit him. John had stopped him. He pushed Matt back to the end of the alley.

John then turned back to the rest of the Omegas and continued fighting. The situation was the best Alecto could wish for. None of the Omegas attacked because John was their friend. They would stay on the defensive until they were taken out. And that’s exactly what was happening.


*****************


“Sir, the snipers are in position and ready to fire.” The soldier said.
“It’s about time.” Benson put his finger up to his ear. “Agents, do you have a clear shot at the target?”
“Target is in range and I have a clear shot.”
“Tranq him now.” Benson grabbed a pair of binoculars to watch. But no shot was fired. “What is taking so long? FIRE!”
“I…I can’t pull the trigger. My finger won’t move.” The other snipers said the same thing. Then all of their head slammed down onto the roof, knocking all of them out.
“Agents? Are you there? Hello?” Then the same thing happened to all of the soldiers surrounding Benson. And then, Benson was slammed down by no one. All of the B.A.S.E. operatives were down.


*****************


Susan was the only Omega still standing, besides John. For several minutes, the two of them had been trying to push the other back with their psychic abilities. But neither would budge. Suddenly, both of them were thrown against one of the alley walls. Alecto was surprised when this happened, and even more surprised when he saw who did it.

“Taking out your own teammates?”
[glow=black,2,300]"In a way, yes."[/glow]
“What the hell happened to your voice?”
[glow=black,2,300]"That’s not important. What is important, is that you showed up just like I asked."[/glow]
“Like you asked? You were the one that broke me out? You’re the so called Master?”
[glow=black,2,300]"Yes, I am. And I would like it very much if you would join my Society."[/glow]“Gladly.”
