January 1st, 2026
'The morning after Dominic Bernedicci absconded, Eliana woke up, earlier than the rest who were tired from last night. It was 8:17 am, Eliana read from her digital clock as she opened her eyes. She moaned and turned over to see Dominic, who wasn't there.'

Eliana: Dom...? *Where is he?* 'She got up, still surly from last night, and walked to the main room. She looked around and called for Dominic again. She then called his phone, but after the third unanswered call she got suspicious.' Where the hell is he...

'She walked around again until she found a camera on the floor. She picked it up and saw it was left on a video, recorded last night. She played it, shocked to see Dominic explaining he had to leave. Her shock turned into anger, and she squeezed the camera, almost breaking it.'

Eliana: That...a***hole.... GUYS! GUYS GET OUT HERE!! I can't believe this... *He'd, he would abandon us? Abandon me? I thought we were going through this together!* 'Her eyes glowed red as she started panting heavily, looking more fierce and deteriorated, as she transmogrified her own life energy into Ruby Energy. Her veins also started turning scarlet.'

'Trey boosted out of his room with his blanket still wrapped around his body and his head and his eyes glowing dark blue, as heat escapes from it. His hands are also glowing as he stops in the main room ready for a fight.'

Trey: What's wrong Eli?!

Eliana: That...that...AH! Dominic ran away! She throws the camera towards him.

Trey: What? 'He catches it and watched and video and didn't say anything as he thought about this. ' What the f*ck... He just left us like this? What's wrong with that guy.. 'He eyes and hands stop glowing and he throws the camera to the couch. 'You okay Eli? 'He walks towards her and puts his hand on her shoulder. 'We're here for you if you need anything.

Eliana: If this is a lie, it's a really sick joke...but...I kind of hope it is... He can't just leave us, he can't...

Trey: Look he seemed very troubled so this will be good for him. I just hope he's back soon if this is true.. He hugs Eli and then lets go Come on, try to get some sleep or something, don't dwell on it too much. 'He walks out of the room and goes back into his, going back to sleep. '

Eliana doesn't say anything, she just removes the memory chip from the camera then crushes the camera in anger, throwing the chip onto the desk then going back to sleep.

Four hours later
'Eliana awoke, calm yet still sad. She was hiding it now, not on the edge of tears like before. She got dressed then went into the main room, walked through the main room and straight outside the dorm. Thad was waiting there, leaning against the wall.'

Thad: Hello, Eliana. What's up?

Eliana: Go away, Thaddeus. She walks past him, but he follows her, concerned.

Thad: What happened? You seem...off. Is it something to do with the others? I can deal with them for you, I'll go right now-

Eliana: She turns to him No!- Don't... It's not them, it's Dominic.

Thad: Of course it is. What did he do?

Eliana: He...he ran away. He left me. Left us.

Thad: That bastard, I thought he was supposed to be your best friend, friends don't leave!

Eliana: I left you.

Thad: That was different Eliana, we had conflict, what happened to him? Did anything happen between you last night?

Eliana: We had sex. I don't think that's relevant though...

Thad: So, he was close to you this whole time, the introverted nerdy redhead at school, finally gets into your bed and then bails the next morning? Sounds to me he was trying to get in your pants this whole time.

Eliana: No, Dom's not like that. He even left a video behind-

Thad: Did this video explain where he was? How to find him?

Eliana: No, just that he had to-

Thad: Has he ever actually shown genuine interest in your emotional wellbeing?

Eliana: Yes! He has, he's always been there for me.

Thad: He's the product of aliens and crazed hosts, he's sneaky and clever, he wasn't trustworthy, and only offered you danger, why else would Ripper be after him?!

Eliana: He's explained- wait, how do you know about that?

Thad: Sigh I asked him, using my powers.

Eliana: I told you not to use your powers on him!

Thad: I just wanted to make sure that he could protect you! It's clear he can't, he's mixing his supposed love life with some galactic war! Dominic was just using you to relieve stress, he never loved you for who you really are, he hurt you, Eliana, I would never do that... 'He places his hand on her shoulder. She looks at his hand then at his face, upset but also fearful.'

At the same time
'Trey and Haruto are strolling down the street talking about the Dominic situation. They both decide to just forget about it and move on. They move onto a store called Star Hut, where it sells pizza and coffee. They get a meat lover's pizza because who doesn't love bacon and beef? Then Trey orders a Ice Caramel Latté and Haruto orders a Cappuccino coffee. The T.V. was playing a news station about a recent drug bust at a hideout by some skate parks and Trey was just sipping his coffee when he looked at Haruto and smirked. '

Trey: Dude.

Haruto: What's up? He takes a sip of his coffee, scrolling through his phone for news.

Trey: We could find that drug company the police has been searching for. 'He leans closer and looks around and took a bite of pizza. 'We could easily find them if we tried yanno. It could be fun dude.

Haruto: It'd give me some time to test out the Star armor... I'm down. He took a slice of pizza and took a bite.

Trey: Yea I wanted to see you use that since you've gotten that. 'He finishes his slices and took the cup of coffee with him as he got up to leave. 'Where do we start? He took a sip of the coffee.

Haruto: Lemme look.' Haruto finishes his share of the pizza, sipping his coffee as he scrolls through some news articles about the drug traffickers that Trey was referring to. The most recent article was published just a few days ago, and mentioned something about a parking garage surrounded by sketchy alleyways.' There's something about this parking garage with a bunch of sketchy alleys. Let's start there. He picks up his coffee and stands up.

Trey: He keeps sipping his coffee Should we wait until nighttime?

Haruto: Yeah, good idea. We'll be able to use stealth tactics to take them down if all else fails. I'll check the address. He looks up the parking garage's address on his phone, then checks the distance it would take to walk there. It's about 15 minutes to walk there from here.

Trey: Ight, cool.

Later that Night
'Haruto and Trey arrived near the garage on the former's bike, parking it somewhere close so they could rush to it after they finish up fighting at the place. Haruto equips his Star armor and summons his Star Slasher, sheathing it on his back as Trey puts on his super-suit. They rush towards the garage stealthily, seeing some dealers and buyers in one of the sketchy alleys already. Haruto established a mental link between him and Trey, so they could communicate without talking.'

Haruto: Ready to go, Trey? He cracked his knuckles and prepared to move.

Trey: ''Yep all ready. '''He stretches, cracking bones throughout his body and let's the cosmic energy power him up. He forms his superhero costume, with the cloth in front, faceless mask and hood and smirks under it as he starts to go forward. He quietly jumps on the side of the building, grabbing onto a fire escape lightly and climbing it, making sure he's quiet.'

Haruto uses cosmic energy to float down to a fire escape and land silently, running across it quickly and quietly to get into position as he takes out the Star Slasher and aims it down at one of the dealers.

Haruto: On your mark. Haruto charged up the power of his upcoming attack with a few button presses, all indicated inside his HUD without any noise.

Trey: Get set... 'He shape shifts his right arm into a super sharp blade. He jumps down on the first drug dealer and stabs them through the chest. Then when the drug dealer coming out of the garage is coming, Trey shoots out his arm to elongate, wrap around the dealer and pull him instantly to himself. He then slashes the enemy's chest open. Trey notices more drug dealer's coming out laughing and smoking some of their drugs. '''Idiots... Haruto?''

Haruto: On it.' He fires the charged energy bullet at the entrance where the dealers are coming out, disintegrating the ones in the way and some of the surround area. He fires more energy at the dealers, nailing them all in the chest or leg before jumping down with super speed and switching the Star Slasher to blade mode to slash up a few dealers.''' Take out the buyers. We can't let anyone escape.''

Trey: ''Roger. Hey how do you say that in Japanese? '''He bursts towards the buyers coming through and punches one into the car, which makes it cave in and is effectively destroyed. The other buyers are about to pull out their guns, but Trey back-flips, spins on his hands and kicks the guys around him away onto their backs. He lands on his feet and kicks a guy in the chest so hard, he gets knocked out. Trey grabs the guy's knife that was on him and throws it at another enemy, but the handle hits the enemy '''Crap, that looked so much cooler in my head. '''He forms his fingernails on his left hand into claws and slashes at the guy's neck, and as he's taking out the enemies slash by slash, he hears one of the buyers yelling into a cellphone about protecting the shipment of drugs on a train. '''Haruto! Apparently there's another ship aboard the train that runs through L.A.! We need to get to it! ''

Haruto:'' Roger is "Ryokai." He replies to his question before slashing through a bunch of enemies with energized slashes. Another shipment? Sh*t! We'll have to take care of that soon! These guys aren't worth our time. Speaking of time... He switches the Star Slasher to gun mode and takes a World card, inserting it into the slot on the weapon to activate the finisher. ZA WARUDO! He fires the blast at the garage, causing a time distortion to consume it and send all the dealers and buyers occupying it flying into a void somewhere in the space-time continuum while the structure itself is reset to the moment before the dealers arrived. Druggies taken care of, let's find that shipment!''' As he's walking to his bike, a buyer tries to stab him in the back. Haruto quickly turns around and shoots him with cosmic energy, enough to make him disintegrate into dust before sheathing the Star Slasher on his back and getting on his bike.' Can you track it down, Trey?

Somewhere else at the same time
'Eliana and Thad were talking, as they headed back to the Centre. They had drinks in their hand, and Eliana seemed calm now.'

Thad: Remember that time where I first thought I knew what the hell my powers were?

Eliana: Yeah and you made me throw things at you, and when I couldn't, that was scary.

Thad: Had myself convinced my powers were Luck Manipulation, ''look at me, I'm super lucky! ''I was such a twat.

Eliana: Haha, yeah.

Thad: Those times were good, I just want to return to them.

Eliana: When I was 13 and helping you take down a government subdivision tasked with capturing mutants like you?

Thad: Yes, though I took them down, you made sure I was smart about it.

Eliana: How did you do it anyway? I left before that ended.

Thad: They pretty much ended themselves. It's best not to look back at that. What's wrong?

Eliana: 'She looked distracted, the turned to look off the side of the street. She could hear something, someone, a struggle. 'Can you hear that? She absorbs some Sapphire energy from that area Someone's in trouble, under attack by someone with super powers. No, there's three of them, attacking two civilians.

Thad: We should leave, the Centre's only a couple blocks away, we can make it!

Eliana: No, we're going to help them.

Thad: But Eliana!-

Eliana: It's not up for discussion! 'She runs through the alleyway, followed by Thad, and into an empty street. Three men are there, two holding guns, one commanding them. There's another two people on the ground, bruised but alive. The three thugs are questioning them.'

Thug Boss: Cut the bull, Darrow. We told you if you couldn't afford to pay then your whole family would pay for you. Starting with your sweet wife over here. He kicks the woman on the floor.

Eliana: Leave them alone! 'Eliana ran in wearing her Gemstone super suit and drop kicks the boss, creating a mini explosion that sends him flying into the wall. He gets up the generates two concrete arms around his own, and slams the ground which sends multiple spikes of concrete sprouting out at Eliana from below. Eliana quickly absorbs her own psychic energy, numbing her senses, then jumps up with Sapphire empowering her jump, landing on the roof of a building. A ring of concrete cracks below the thug boss, and he levitates a chunk of concrete below him, lifting him up to Eliana's height. Mid-air, he kicks the chunk of concrete at her then lands on a building opposite Ellie. He then looks down and yells at his men.'

Thug Boss: Kill his wife then get out of here! 'He then starts to run away, using concrete to boost himself upwards to land on other buildings. Meanwhile, Eliana aims her fist at the concrete chunk coming at her, shattering it and simultaneously transmogrifying it into green Emerald energy and then absorbing it. She glows green but her hand is bleeding badly from the punch. She then generates a grappling hook from the energy absorbed, and throws it, swinging through the openings of the buildings and after the boss.'

'Back on the ground the thugs are about to shoot the wife of the man getting attacked, but suddenly one gets shot in the shoulder and screams, dropping his assault rifle. They look to see it was Thaddeus who finally decided to step in, holding a pistol which he kept in his blazer pocket.'

Thad: Excuse me, we're not done with you.

Thug 1: Arh, shoot him!

Thug 2: 'The other thug raises his pistol and fires it three times at Thad, but all three bullets suddenly swerve in another direction and hit the walls beside Thad. Thad chuckles the casually walks towards them. The thug, confused and shocked, fires more bullets at Thad, each suddenly missing as if an invisible shield is deflecting them. 'What the heck?!

Thug 1: What are you, blind?! I said shoot him!

Thug 2: Can't you see, I'm trying! 'As Thad approaches closer, the injured thug takes his own gun and attempts to run away. The thug shooting at Thad has two more bullets; he shoots one more at Thad, but the bullet reflects and hits the injured thug trying to run away in the leg, causing him to fall to the floor, attempting to crawl away. Thad walks right up to the second thug aiming the gun, allowing the barrel of the gun to touch Thad's forehead. He then smiles at the horrified thug.'

Thad: In a calm and gentle voice Hey, calm down. What are you trying to do?

Thug 2: S-shoot you...

Thad: Do you want to shoot me?

Thug 2: Y-yes I do.

Thad: Are you going to?

Thug 2: No...

Thad: And why is that?

Thug 2: Because you don't want me to shoot you...

Thad: That's right. You know what I want you to do.

'Without saying anything and with a face of depression, the thug lowers the gun then aims it in his own mouth. The man and his wife on the floor are shocked and gasp, as the second thug blows his own brains out, splattered against the wall and a few drops of blood land on Thad and the couple. The thug's body hits the floor as the couple are in awe. Thaddeus places his own black pistol with accents of silver lines back in his blazer pocket. He walks up to the first thug who is halfway down the street crawling away with a trail of blood. As he walks he picks up the assault rifle the thug dropped as he fled, and checks it out. He approaches the hurt thug and steps on his back, aiming the rifle at the back of his head.'

Thad: Why are you tormenting these people? Tell the truth.

Thug 1: They owed us money!

Thad: Why?

Thug 1: He stole from us, said he needed the money, we all do! We caught him and let him off on the condition he pays us back in a week, that was last week.

Thad: There's two sides to every story. I'm sure Eliana would like me to believe theirs.

Thug 1: What? NO, WAIT! 'Thad fires the gun through the back of his head, then drops it. Thad then walks up to the couple, helping them up.'

Man: Thank you so much!

Woman: What? Peter, no, you saw what he did, how he killed them! He has powers, he's a ''mutant! ''Those vile murderers no better than those thugs, we should just call the police! 'Thad shoots her in the thigh with his own pistol, then returns it to his pocket. The woman screams as her husband goes to help her.'

Man: You, you monster!

Thad: You should control your wife, with ideologies like that she could end up dead by tomorrow.

Man: What kind of hero are you?!

'Suddenly a body drops from the sky next to them, the body of the thug boss, unconscious. Eliana drops down next to to then looks around.'

Eliana: Thad what happened here?

Thad: Things got crazy, they started shooting and I did what I had to.

Man: Then he shot my wife!

Eliana: What? Thaddeus?!

Thad: What? 'He said laughing. 'He means the thugs shot his wife in the leg, right? That's why I, admittedly, had to kill them. Rather the thugs die than the civilians.

Man: O-oh, yeah, that's what I meant.

Thad: I saved you guys from those monsters.

Couple: Yup. Thanks.

Thad: See?

Eliana: Wow Thaddeus, I'm impressed, did you call the police?

Thad: Was about to reach for my phone before you came.

Eliana: Hm... 'She seems surprised at Thad, but also relieved. They call the police and leave back to the Centre, congratulating each other on their skills on the way there.'

Back at Haruto and Trey
Trey: ''No, because I haven't interacted with them yet. But I saw this one truck drive off while I was fighting off the others. ''

'He knocks out the rest of the guys and starts to take off running down the streets and looking for the truck. He gets lucky and finds the truck driving off at high speeds, going past cars and such, nearly killing people. Trey begins to take some giant steps and boost himself to jump among the buildings while still trying to sense the brainwaves off enemies at the train. He decides to fly on top of the truck and read the minds of the men in the truck, driving, thinking they've escaped Trey. He scans their minds for a few minutes and then uses his strength to pick up the car and fly up, throwing the car into a body of water. '

Trey: ''I found which train tracks the drug shipments should be on. Only one solider knew where it was though. Come to the west side tracks by the ocean. He flies there at high speeds and lands on the ground waiting for the train and Haruto.''

'Haruto drives to Trey's location, tracking him by tracing his cosmic energy signature. He arrives at the west side track by the ocean on his bike, stopping before getting off and approaching him.'

Haruto: Which train?
