The Beginning 1-
In the beginning, the year 2022; there was a third world war. Metas that have been in hiding finally emerged for the shadows of the unseen. The war really began back in 2022 when a group of said Meta-Humans who now go by The Hopeless, did not believe in Metas and humans living in peace together. So, they tried to take over the world to rule over earth and everyone on the planet by starting World War 3. The humans had won the war though, not because of weapons or the technology we had, the humans had the number advantage, plus anti-dark matter infused artillery at their disposal. The Immortal's, the shady regime within the government that helped invent these anti-dark matter armaments, to this day, is still praised by the eyes of the media for pushing the metas out of our Milky Way Galaxy. In the new Meta-Human galaxy, which is called Dorlena. There are 13 planets and the galaxy's sun, the galaxy Dorlena is where the meta-humans were sent after the third world war. In the galaxy of Dorlena Albar is the sun of the galaxy. Planet 1: Teller, Planet 2: Rhia, Planet 3: Lora, Planet 4: Var, Planet 5: Zena, Planet 6: Merk, Planet 7: Ex-Bortex, Planet 8: Soma, Planet 9: Keema, Planet 10: Aura, Planet 11: Rivora, Planet 12: Enterra, Planet 13: Behera. It's been over 200 years since these so-called events happened, and earth's been anti-meta ever since. Just recently, a sudden "wave" of metas started appearing. Some people claim there's been harbored metas coming in and out of earth throughout the 200 years, making "half metas" or "demi-meta", the government considered this "the second coming", One day though I started feeling different, and having "episodes" when I was about 6 years old. Sometimes I would break light bulbs by walking past them, like once or twice I have seen my hand glow a light purple color, but I always thought I was dreaming about that happening to me. I told my dad about the "episodes", and he started to act differently afterwards, I'm not really sure why though. My dad works for the R&D department for The Immortal's, he's been working with them for 20 years. My father tells me that it's some government office job, but I really don't know what he does or who the immortal's are. Grayson, my father has told stories about how in the past there were metas, and about the war between metas and humans. My father believes a new spawn of metas are here or will reappear with the "Dark Matter Gene". Which Grayson claims resurfaced back in 2147...honestly the government and these "conspiracy theories" make no sense and the only problem I'm worried about is getting into MIT. My friends insisted that I go to the movies to calm down and prepare myself... They're lucky I love them because I should be resting, feels like my life's about to be a handful.
-Back on planet Earth Year: 2223, May 13th around 12:30pm-
We were all walking back to my house from the movies. I went out with my friends because today is actually my birthday. My friends Milly, Johnathan, Malik, and DaMarcus took me out to celebrate my birthday "Soo...how was that birthday movie Zari?" DaMarcus chuckled as he was throwing away the popcorn, we had that no one finished during the movie. DaMarcus is the oldest of our little "gang", also the Tech freak leader if you wanna hype his head up like that. One thing I can give him credit on is his smarts, he's literally a walking computer. Just last year, he figured out a way to jailbreak the new "iPhone" before it hit the shelves, but I couldn't complain cause we all got new phones that day thanks to him. "Yeah man I kinda knew the movie was finna end with them all dying at the end, I dreamt it last night", my weirdo friend Johnathan commented. "I could literally feel how scared you were, so stop the lies Johnny '' My best friend Milly said. Me and Milly have been friends for the longest that I can't even remember, and for Johnny, we've been cool since junior high. Johnathan is like the odd one out of our group. He can always predict what could happen somewhat before it happens. Malik has been my crush since high school but has been my best friend since middle school. I haven't told him that yet mostly because I don't know if he feels the same as me. "Happy birthday again Zahavain, I hope we made it a good day for you!" Malik, super excited, blurts out at me. "Yeah, I can't really believe that we are all 20 years old now." Johnathan Stated. "Hey, I'm not 20 I'm 21 remember, I'm older than you guys' Johnathan." DaMarcus announced madly that Johnathan must have forgotten. "Oh right, my bad bro I didn't mean to forget that." Johnathan scarcely apologies to Damarcus. Right before Damarcus could even say a word, we all hear my dad's voice say, "Why do you need Zahavian for a government emergency?" when we look, we see government soldiers standing there speaking with my dad for some reason. " Dr. Grayson, it's classified information. I am not able to say any of that information to you, only Zahavian can know what it is." the soldier states. "Well, I understand that whole classified thing but, I'm not giving up on my daughter or letting you talk to her unless I know what you need her for." My father answers with more confidence. "Dr. Grayson...(sighs) we need Zahavian because we know she is a meta." The soldier explains. "What, I know there's no way you're a meta!" Milly reassures me. "Zahavian is not a meta, she doesn't even have powers!" My dad shouts back. "Dr. Grayson". The soldier said calmly "He and Dr. Adams knows about the damping pills used on your daughter, and you may be wanted for questioning on how you obtained those drugs." "Just be lucky Dr. Adams begged to not enforce the law on you", the other soldier finished stating. "Why would my dad keep something like that from me?" I kept repeating that thought into my mind. I just couldn't believe it. "I don't understand, why would your father keep something that big away from you? Plus has he really been "drugging" you? Milly, now concerned, says looking at me now. "Wait, so you're a meta-human Zahavian?" Malik questions me in shock.
"Zahavian you don't have to go; you are not a meta!" My father shouts before I could even get any kind of words out. I could now see that he seems more worried now. I can also tell that he was somehow hiding something else, there was that look in his eyes or just the way he looked at me. It was like he didn't want me to go, so I wouldn't find out the truth about anything. "So, all of my "episodes" were real, and happened because my father forgot to drug me that day? I say confused but out loud. "Look over there sir, the girl is over there." One of the guards speaks out as she points to me. "Uh I think they're on their way to us." Jonathan said nervously. As my body froze as the soldiers approached, Milly walks ahead of me towards the armed troopers, " Heyy- yeaaa I need you guys to back all the way up."; She yelled. Before one of the soldiers even says anything, a beeping noise comes from his back pocket as he reaches for it and waves all over Milly. " Uhh may I help you? This is my personal space! "Milly arrogantly yelled. The soldiers whispered among themselves, then approached not only me, but Milly as well. "You're both coming with us for having the Dark Matter Gene." Milly's eyes widened and with a little gasp, "I'M NOT A META!! MY PARENTS AREN'T EVEN METAS!" The soldiers proceeded to handcuff me and Milly, then pushed us into their Militia van as we attempted to struggle free. "Aye, that ain't right! You police do too much!" DaMarcus said, seething with rage. "MR STEWARD?!" hoping that saying his name would get his attention, but he was pacing back on the phone, seeming as if he was waiting for either a call or text message. The truck that had me and Milly started to pull off slowly, as I see my friends and father moving further and further away from me. "Me? A meta? Pills?" I started to stress myself with bad thoughts. "It'll be fine...I hope" Milly said sadly. Why on my birthday? What's the issue of people having powers to the point they need to be put to jail? All I could picture in my head is my dad, sitting there on his phone instead of getting me, I almost wanted to cry, but i noticed Milly beginning to tear up, "I honestly don't know why I'm about to cry, ha-ha" Milly said with the saddest look on her face but with the most positive tone." Maybe she's right but I decided to stay quiet to hold any tears that could've come out. I've never been in ANY type of jail, was this really how my life is supposed to be now? As the van slowly drives into an underground bunker type of building, it seemed as if Milly was surrounded by a pink aura, but I quickly diverge that thought as a saw the door slide open, the brightness of the building targeted my eyes, and as they adjusted, I peeped up to see a grey-haired man with a full beard with the smell of heavy alcohol. "Zahavian... and Milly, was it? Welcome to the government secret base for meta related situations, THE HEXAGON and I'm General Pitir."
-THE HEXAGON-
With restraints still on Zahavian and Milly, they were escorted into the hexagon facility. Upon entering, they noticed the cold stares from the workers and soldiers. "Oh, don't worry girls, nothing will happen." Pitir said. "Pretty hard to believe." Zahavian replied with an angered look. Pitir was in an elevator with two soldiers. "This way ladies." The two girls nervously looked at each other but eventually walked into the elevator. As it descended 10 floors down, General Pitir let off a little chuckle. "What the hell's so funny?" Milly furiously said. "Like, how sure are you that you know were metas?" Zahavian said. "Well not only our tech can detect metas, which we did, YOU Zahavian have some history to you apparently." Pitir explained. "What do you mean?" Zahavian asked. "Have you ever wondered about your mother?" Pitir questioned. "She... she died after giving birth to me" Zahavian answered. Pitir lets off an ecstatic laugh. "Is that what Grayson told you? Your mother is alive and well." Milly looked over to notice the confused face Zahavain gave off. "You know, I'm getting tired of you people calling my dad a lair. First y'all accuse him of DRUGGING me to dampen these so-called meta powers, now he's lying about my mom" Zahavain said angrily. The elevator door opens, and the soldiers walk out with Pitir. "Believe what you want, I'm just informing you. Now follow me, and if you don't, those collars around your neck and wrist affect dark mattered humas with a nerve piercing pulsar if I press a simple button." Pitir said while waving a device. "He's a bitch" Milly said. "I know." Zahavian replied. "But let's see what he means, then try to find a way to escape." "Escape?" Milly questioned. "Uhh.. how do you expect to do that with ALL this security?" "We'll find a way." Zahavain said with a nervous chuckle. "I'd advise y'all to hurry," Pitir rushed. "This isn't like high school where we skipped math class, how we are escaping Zaza?" Mily asked while walking out the elevator. "Let me think, okay" Zahavian replied while following behind her. As they were escorted deeper into the underground facility, they were greeted by a man dressed in a long white coat, messy brown hair and small green goggles on. "Is this the meta? Who's the other one?" the mysterious man asked. "She was a meta on the scene, check her aura, if she's a part of the top tier, I want to put her into the meta militia as well." Pitir answered. "My aura? What are we doing? yoga chakras or something?" Milly jokes. "Knowing a metas aura color signifies how strong a connection is to their dark matter energy." the mysterious man explained. "Black, White, Red and Purple are the top tier colors, they have the strongest connection, therefore are the stronger metas. Blue, Green, Pink and Brown are mid-tier, the connections there, power level average. Yellow and Orange are the weakest connection, they can use their powers, yes, but not too strong. They're uncommon colors like Apricot and Grey that's rarely seen but they could be a tier above even the top tier... Or lower, who knows." the mysterious man furthermore explained. "Your mother, Zahavian, was an Apricot color, while your father had a black aura." Pitir told Zahavian. "Soo... now my father's a meta to?' Zahavian questioned giving Pitir a dumbfounded face. "Dr. Grayson Steward's isn't your actual father." Pitir answered. "Two hundred years ago, before The Hopeless migrated to the Dorlena galaxy, Cynthia, your mother, gave birth to two children to the warlord Annihilation, your ACTUAL father." Zahavian paused for a bit, then gave out a huge laugh. "Do you know how dumb you sound? If that was the case, that was TWO HUNDRED years ago, I'm not two hundred, I'm twenty jackasses." Zahavian blurted while smiling. "Her birthday was today, which y'all ruined, we want a check, two hundred million please." Milly added jokingly. "Metas age different from us normal humans. Just like your brother, he was in cryostasis due to your mother's abilities, in reality, he's about two hundred years old." Pitir explained. "Once again, I was born in the year Two thousand one hundred and eighty pal. And this isn't a sci-fi film, Cryostasis? I don't have a brother; your government people really do be on them drugs huh?" Pitir let's off a menacing laugh. "As I said before, believe what you may. Norman," Pitir sternly said to the mysterious man, "scan both of their auras." Norman shuffles to a giant machine that had a scanner pointed at Milly and Zahavian. "Yes sir!" Norman said excitedly. "Uh wait, is that gonna hurt?" Milly asked nervously. A huge red beam of light covered Milly and Zahavian, then loud noise appeared from a computer screen near them. Norman gave a sour look at the computer, "Uh sir, you may not like the results." he said disappointedly. "What's the problem?" Pitir asks. Norman gives the girls a disgusting look, "Zahavian's aura is yellow-ish white, basically yellow, while the other girl's pink." he explains. "Doesn't yellow mean I'm a weak meta in you guys' fantasy game?" Zahavian mockingly asks. Milly giggles, "Yellow-ish white, but doesn't white mean top tier though? Hey weird man," Milly addresses Norman, "If it's a fusion color, what does that mean?" she jokingly asks. "Well, she's mainly a yellow aura, there can be different shades of the primary meta colors–" Norman explains, then gets interrupted by Pitir. "Pink is mid-tier...mmm let's see what she can do first, if it's nothing unique, we can discard her. Zahavian on the contrary, she's a first-gen metahuman, so regardless, she's a special case." Milly gives a puzzled look, "The hell you mean discard? Zahavian clutches her fist, "We're not staying here, and we'll be leaving, thank you." Zahavian said angrily. Both Pitir and Norman do a devilish chuckle, "Zahavian dear, you'll be used for the militia for the upcoming invasion, because we can do it by force." Pitir said while looking more and more sinister. The soldiers around the area pointed their guns towards Zahavian and Milly, which startled them completely. "WOAH, what the hell," Zahavian yelled shockingly," now you're gonna shoot us?" Pitir walks toward Norman then looks at the girls, "If these regular bullets don't pierce through your skin, then this should definitely convince you that you're a meta, as metas durability is greater than that of a regular human" Norman explains. "But what if you're wrong–" before Milly could finish, the soldiers rained a flurry of bullets at Zahavian and Milly, only for them to come out unaffected. "WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS WRONG WITH Y'ALL?" Zahavian screamed, then looked surprised to see all the bullet holes through their clothes but no blood to be found on them. Before Zahavian could even say anything, she sees Milly hyperventilating in the events of what just happened. "Milly, are you okay?" Zahavian says concerningly, then proceeds to comfort her. "Now, if my men were to use the dark matter infused bullets, that'll hurt way more than you expect." Pitir explained to the girls. The soldiers then click a button on the side of their rifles, which brighten the weapon in a greyish black color. "Aim towards the Milly girl, I don't care if she lives, she's a mid-tier. Now, if she displays her powers to save her life, then maybe I'll keep her for the militia IF her powers seem useful." Pitir ordered. "YOU'RE NOT SHOOTING MY FRIEND!" Zahavian screamed, but ignoring her words, the soldiers proceeded to shoot at Milly, but before the bullets could make contact, a pink aura shield covered around her and Zahavian, protecting them from the bullets. "Milly. Are you...?" Zahavian was too stunned to speak, as she witnessed Milly's eyes glow a whitish pink. Milly then stands up and extends her arms towards the scanning machine, it begins to shake, then violently rips apart from its attachment, levitating above the soldiers. The soldiers aim their guns to the floating scanner, then back to Milly, realizing she's the one causing the events before them. "Telekinesis I see," Pitir said intriguingly. Norman jaw dropped and eyes in joy, "YES! I don't think we have a psychic on the team! Let's keep it!" Norman eagerly said as if Milly was a pet. Milly hands began to glow pinkish white, then levitated a bit off the floor. "You weirdos make me ANGRY!" As she says that, the soldiers around her began showing angry like emotions. "Why the hell do WE have to deal with this meta business?" one soldier asked. "There's a whole damn meta unit created to deal with this shit. Why do WE have to put our lives on the line?" another soldier said furiously. Norman then gives an angrily disturbed face, "They're kinda on to something, why DO we deal with this crap? I HATE IT!" Norman screamed. Looking a bit confused, Pitir seemed to know what was going on. "An empath as well, perhaps?" "How are you doing that Milly?" Zahavian asked, looking concerned. Milly, not hearing anything Zahavian was saying, slams her hands down, which causes the floating scanner machine to drop on the soldiers, causing them to be knocked back by the impact. She then aims her hands towards the remaining soldiers, and they turn their guns towards Pitir and Norman. "Shoot us, and that's your paychecks!" Norman yelled. Pitir smirked, "You're under that child's meta-ability to feel her emotions. And it seems like she can use it in many ways." Pitir says looking impressed. "But no worries, I had her waiting in the shadows in case of an emergency." *Woosh* *Woosh* *Woosh* Suddenly, the soldiers began collapsing to the floor as mysterious dark green fogs appeared then vanished. "Milly...are you doing that?" Zahavian asks. "No" Milly replies with her guard still up. One soldier remains until a green kunai pierces his back, which makes him collapse to the floor. "Incapacitate the pink glow girl, and if Zahavian retaliates, knock her out too, understand?" Pitir commanded as another greenish fog appeared, but this time, a young, dark haired Asian descent female appeared from the portal as it closed behind her. "Affirmative" the lady said in her black and green battle suited armor as she created two green bladed says out of thin air. "Ooh, bringing out Limbo for this one, eh?" Norman asked. Limbo teleports in the middle of Zahavian and Milly, then kicks them apart from each other. Zahavian grunts as she rolls across the floor, while Milly still stands. "You shouldn't have done that." Milly states as she points her arm towards some mechanical debris to levitate, then throws towards Limbo, but teleports to dodge the projectile. "Wait, did I get her?" Milly asks confused. Limbo then appears behind Milly with a green energy pole gripped, then attacks Milly, which causes her to fall to her knees. Before Milly could aim her arms towards Limbo, she kicks her arms away, then creates a green energy mace, which she then swings across Milly's face. "STOP" Zahavian screamed. Blood drips from Milly's forehead as she stumbles to stand up. Limbo extends her energy pole to a chain like weapon, then wraps it around Milly's neck. "Kill her," Pitir demanded. As Limbo's grip began to tighten, Zahavian's eyes glowed rainbow, then purplish white. "I... SAID..STOP!!" she screamed while rising up from the ground then throwing a white energy-based projectile towards Limbo. Looking surprised, yet focused, Limbo teleports to dodge the blast, having it instead hit Norman and Pitir, which they were protected by a shield Pitir activated before it hit. "Dark matter energy construction?" Norman questioned. "That blast was white, yet it said she had a yellow aura, and her eyes glow variegation. So perhaps Light Projection?" Pitir pondered. Limbo reappeared from her green teleportation fog, "Fighting wouldn't be wise" Limbo said while constructing a green energy sword. "Fighting wouldn't be wise– oh, shut the hell up!" Zahavian yelled while shooting another beam which Limbo dodged again by teleporting. "How can you hit a vanishing target?" Limbo confidently asks. Before she could move towards Zahavian, she noticed she was lifted from the ground, she turned around to see Milly's arms extended towards her, using telekinesis to lift her. "Talk that trash now," Milly said mockingly. As Limbo was levitated, Zahavian threw another blast, which seemed to collide with Limbo, but as the blast dampened the room back to normal, she wasn't there anymore. "Direct hit!" Zahavian said bluntly. Pitir began to applaud the girls, "Amazing! If we further both of you girls' power, you'll be a valuable asset for earth's victory in the invasion!" Pitir said elatedly. "Screw your–" Zahavian boldly said before Limbo appeared behind her, hitting her in the back of the head with her energy pole, interrupting Zahavian. As she is knocked back over to where Milly was, she grunted while holding the back of her head. "Yo...she's getting mad annoying" Zahavian stated. "Did you really think keeping me in place would prevent me from teleporting? Dumbass." Limbo addressed to both of the girls. Milly glared at Limbo, "Get crushed, bitch." Milly slams her hand down to the ground, Limbo at first looked puzzled, then above her, she was shadowed in darkness, as the rest of the scanner debris slammed on top of her. "And that's that" Milly said with a smirk. "Yeesh, not Viridian" Norman said, sounding depressed. "No matter, they won't escape," Pitir said as more troops appeared from a rising door. "We need to get going." Zahavian told Milly. They both stand up together and run towards a door, where Zahavian destroys the electric keypad after closing and locking the door. "We just gotta keep going!" The two girls quickly stumble around the facility, looking for exits, but hope seems lost. "This...this place is a maze Zaza" Milly said, sounding as if she's losing faith. "It seems like we're metas for real Milly," Zahavian told Milly as one hand lays on her shoulder. "Now, let's escape this hell hole." Before Milly could reply, a green fog appeared before them. *Woosh* It was Limbo. "Once again, dumb move." Limbo throws a punch at Milly, knocking her back, then Zahavian attempts to fight back, but Limbo dodges and counters every punch she throws. "You're okay working with these people?" Zahavian asks while losing stamina against Limbo. "I just do my mission." Limbo replies as she creates a green energy sword, but before she could stab Zahavian, Milly throws Limbo with her telekinesis against the wall. "OOOF" limbo grunted as she hits the wall. "YOU, you're dying first!" Limbo then creates a portal beside her, but before she could use it, Milly uses her telekinesis to hold Limbo in place, then Zahavian successfully attacks her with a light blast, then picks up Milly and runs inside Limbo's portal. Looking back, she sees the portal closes behind her as Limbo staring menacingly. Flying through the darkness abyss for about thirty seconds, they finally landed outside the portal to an unknown area, covered in sand, with nothing but rocks and red skies around them. Zahavian and Milly slowly stood up, attempting to recognize their surroundings, but couldn't pinpoint where they were. Elated that they escaped immediate death, the girls were now greeted with fear and confusion, unannounced to them, they have teleported to the Hopeless solar system, Dorlena.
