Chapter 10 consisted of the past)*

Previously . . .
Mike: Vito! The clairvoyants, they told me where to go.
(Mike grabs Vito and then they both disappear)
(Scene switches to show Lynne popping in a disc in the DVD player; Crimson Reaper
appears on the screen)
Crimson Reaper: Don’t think about closing the window.
Lynne: How did you know what I was going to do?
Crimson Reaper: I know a lot of things Lynne, but I’m mainly concerned for your safety.
I’m here to help.
Lynne: Help? How?
Crimson Reaper: In time.
(Scene switches to show Snack chucking an air duct with his ability at a telekinetically
floating Kuder, who collapses and dies)
Ryan: We have to get rid of that body!
(Scene switches again to show the two boys lifting their heads up in class the next morning
only to see Kuder)
Steen: Andrew, why are you late?
(Scene transits to show Vito and Mike appearing at a seemingly empty beach)
Vito: Where are we?
Andy: We’ve been waiting, Mr. Vincentino, Mr. Cross!
(Camera shows Andy and Sonia)
Vito: Do we know you?
Andy: Shall we get going?
(Everyone turns their attention to the ocean. A loud noise is heard and fog clears up to
reveal a large carrier type ship. Light emanates from it and everything and everyone begins
to disappear along with it)

(Recap over; scene transits. Camera view is atop Vito, who is sleeping in bed. He opens his
eyes slowly, blinks a bit, and rises up, but is still in bed. Camera view switches in side view.
Vito looks around him and sees that he is in a small, plain room. He carries a confused look
over his face. Vito gets out of bed and walks into another room. In the room is a girl
changing. She looks in the mirror and sees Vito and turns around, covering herself)
Vito: Oh, I’m so-
(Before Vito can finish his apology, the girl's irises glow golden yellow. Vito stops mid-
speech and starts blinking his eyes)
Vito: W-what's happening? What did you do?
(Vito waves his hands in his face and starts to walk around, feeling with his hands. The girl
walks up and shuts the door as poor, blind Vito walks right into it. The door opens later and
we see the girl, fully dressed and ready, looking down at Vito who is still on the floor. The
girl's irises glow golden yellow once again, and revert to their natural color. The girl walks
out of the room. Vito opens his eyes and looks around. He gets up and walks up to a table in
a kitchen area of the house, which means he has retained his vision. Vito picks up a letter on
the kitchen counter)
Vito: “Vito. Rest of us went to town. Steve's coming to pick you up at 2.”
(Vito looks up at the clock which reads 2:00 PM. Vito shrugs, turns around and sees a man
standing before him)
Steve: You must be Vito! I'm Steve Rosario and I humbly welcome you to our colony.
Vito: Colony? Where are we exactly?
(Steve grabs Vito's shoulder and the both of them disappear. Scene cuts; Vito and Steve
reappear in what seems to be a town square. Vito looks astonished at what he sees: People
publicly show off their abilities - their multiple abilities. Some people are chasing after each
other in flight and shooting bolts of lightning and fire at each other. Others are cleaning the
streets with water and drying up the wet ground with heat waves)
Steve: Welcome to the land of your kind, Vito Vincentino!

(Scene switches; sirens are heard as firefighters attempt to put out the burning house. People
are crying at their lost, while others are trying to get through to save others who are still
inside)
Ryan & Snack
Somewhere in New Jersey . . .
Man: You don't understand! My wife and kids are still in there!
Firefighter: You can't go in there, it's too dangerous!
Ryan: Don't fear, good sir!
Snack: We're here to save the day!
Firefighter: What are you kids doing? You can't go in there!
Ryan: Woah, back-off! We're certified superheroes!
Snack: We got our papers right . . . Visbeen? Where are the papers?
Ryan: I thought you had them.
Snack: No, we sprinted from your place, you definitely had them.
Ryan: What? No way- Oh wait. Crap, I left them on the printer.
Snack: It took us forever to make those!
Ryan: Three hours of Photoshop down the drain . . whatever.
Snack: Sir, what do your wife and kids look like?
Man: Does that matter!? They would be the only other people in the house!
Snack: Oh, right! I knew that.
Ryan: Let's go, Snack-ems!
(Ryan and Snack run towards the burning house. Ryan mimics the metal from his ring and
tackles through the front door. Snack runs in with him)
Snack: Nice entrance!
(Snack pats Ryan's metallic back, and pulls his hand back in pain. His hand sizzles)
Snack: Ow! Hot metal!
Ryan: Careful.
Snack: Right. I'll go upstairs.
Ryan: Okay.
(Snack runs up stairs, while Ryan runs around a corner of the house. Ryan runs through a
bunch of walls, while Snack uses his power on his jacket and pulls the sleeves over his hands.
Ryan opens a door and burning wood falls down. Ryan looks elsewhere. Snack breaks open
a door and looks to see the wife covering her kids)
Snack: Don't worry! You'll be okay! Ryan! I found them!
(Ryan sprints upstairs and meets up with Snack. Ryan stops in his tracks. One of the kids
points at Snack)
Kid: Hot!
Snack: Yes, it is hot in here.
Ryan: No, dude, you're on fire!
Snack: What?
(Snack looks to see that his jacket is on fire. Snack begins to freak out, flailing his arms in a
frenzy. Ryan attempts to stop him and somehow, they both end up falling out the window.
The firefighter and the husband see this and go up to them)
Firefighter: Are you two okay?
Man: Where are my wife and kids!?
Ryan: Don't worry, they are still inside on the top-
(The house bursts in flames. The people watch in shock. The husband laments, while Ryan
and Snack look down on themselves. People suddenly point and applaud. Ryan and Snack
look to see Kuder descended with the wife and kids in what seems to be a force field of some
sort. They land and the force field disappears. The husband reunites with his wife and kids.
People congratulate Kuder. Scene transits to show Ryan and Snack sitting down. A
firefighter talks with Kuder)
Firefighter: We don't have many local super powered people around here. It was really
convenient to have you come in time.
Ryan: What about us?
Firefighter: Oh, yeah, you two.
(Firefighter leaves; Kuder joins Ryan and Snack)
Kuder: Hey guys! Why are you two here?
Ryan: You know being superheroes is our thing.
Snack: Way to steal our glory.
Kuder: Come on, we all know that's not the real reason. What's really going on?
Snack: No, it really is the reason.
Ryan: But there's another reason.
Kuder: Which would be?
Ryan & Snack: You're dead!
Kuder: No I'm not.
Snack: We killed you remember?
Ryan: Technically, it was all him, but yeah, you got knocked out of the air and fell to your
death!
Snack: We buried your body!
Kuder: No you didn't.
Ryan: Want to bet?
Kuder: Fine.
(Scene cuts and transits; Ryan, Snack, and Kuder arrive at an empty, remote, desolate area.
Ryan and Snack start digging up a dirt mound. The scene switches to indicate time has
passed; Ryan and Snack look shocked. The body is nowhere to be found)
Kuder: As you were saying?

Lynne Varrow
(Scene cuts and transits to show the view of a snow globe. The snow globe is picked up by
Lynne who shakes it. She sets it back down on the shelf and grabs more and more snow
globes and repeats the pattern. The clerk of the store notices this and yells)
Clerk: Hey, don't break them kid! Those are valuable collectibles!
Lynne: Don't worry, I won't-
(Lynne gasps as the snow globe slips from her hand. She quickly closes her eyes and opens
them: time has stopped. Lynne sighs in relief and grabs the snow globe. She places it on the
shelf and closes her eyes again to restart time. Julie walks in the store and calls Lynne over.
Lynne walks out of the store with Julie and they see Damien flirting with a red headed girl.
The girl laughs and leaves in the middle of Damien's showing off. Lynne approaches Damien
and Julie follows)
Lynne: You always had a thing for red heads. I wonder why.
Damien: What do you want? Where's your scrawny friend?
Lynne: Todd's gone for the weekend, but he'll be back soon.
Damien: That kid is losing more opportunities this way . .
Lynne: What?
Damien: Nothing. So, what are you doing?
Lynne: Just came out of that store.
(Lynne points to the store and Damien acknowledges)
Damien: That used to be Bart's place.
Lynne: You remember?
Damien: Of course. We went there all the time. Bart loved having us already even though
we didn't buy anything. But that weird guy bought us the swords. You still have them?
Lynne: Maybe.
Damien: Heh, he gave in without a fight; that man with the red hood . . .
Lynne: Red hood?
(Lynne memories flash of “Charlie Rude” and then of her video encounter with “Crimson
Reaper”)
Creator's Note: the man (in the previous chapter) in her past who bought her a sword and
informed Lynne that Damien was the cause of her house fire.
Julie: Well, you two have fun, I'm going to go-
Lynne: Wait, I'll go with. I don't even know why I'm talking to you.
(The girls start to walk off)
Damien: What were you looking at in Bart's place?
Lynne: . . . Snow.
Damien: (Scoffs) You never change.
(They part. In the distance, Glace is watching)

(Scene cuts and transits back to Vito and Steve Rosario. Vito is still in awe of all the other
empaths around him. They both take a seat by a water fountain in the town square)
Steve: Well? What do you think?
Vito: What do I think? This is amazing!
Steve: Glad you think that. Your friends tell me that you have some questions about your
abilities.
Vito: Yeah, I do. Where are they by the way?
Steve: They are being toured around by my uncle, Raphael. He is the founder of our society.
But I have a little test for you, to see how adept you are in your abilities.
(Steve looks around; Camera view moves back and forth, stops and focuses on three teenaged
kids)
Steve: Hey, kids! Come over here!
(The teenagers walk towards Steve and Vito)
Empath Kid #1: What's up, Steve?
Steve: Kids, meet Vito, he's new to the society.
(The kids greet Vito. He greets back)
Steve: Alright, everyone pyrokinetic?
Empath Kid #2: Yup.
Steve: Okay, everyone start your flames.
(Steve and the three Empath kids hold out their hands and flames arise in each of them. Vito
is amazed and claps)
Steve: Okay, Vito, can you tell the difference between our flames? You're an Empath like us,
so you should able to understand our feelings behind the fires. Let me give you the first one;
my fire is a basic, normal nature.
(Steve's flame is a simple fire ball floating above his hand)
Steve: I have control over my fire, and it is nothing special. Do you know why?
Vito: Because you don't value your flame ability as anything special.
Steve: Very good! How did you know?
Vito: I've dealt with and know some pyros.
(Vito glances slightly to his right and Nec smirks and chuckles)
Steve: So look at her flames.
(Steve points at Empath Kid #3's flames. Vito looks at her flames, the flames take no specific
shape, they simply rest upon her palm and flicker a little)
Vito: She has a gentle nature, thus affecting her ability.
Steve: Correct again, now this may be a hard one; what is the difference between those two
flames?
(Vito looks at Empath Kid #1 and #2's flames: Empath Kid #1's flames engulf the kid's hand.
The flame roars as it burns vigorously. Empath Kid #2's flames float above his own hand,
but swirls in a vortex fashion, forming a small fire cyclone)
Vito: Hmm . . .
Steve: Stumped?
Vito: (Looks at Empath Kid #1) He is very passionate about his flames. He's undoubtedly a
pyromaniac. (Looks at Empath Kid #2) His fire is very controlled, but his intentions of the
fancy looking flames is because he's a show-off.
(The kids look at Vito in disbelief for his comments)
Vito: Sorry, I didn't mean to-
Empath Kid #1: It's okay, I just didn't expect you to analyze us so easily and quickly.
Empath Kid #2: You're a flamethrower too?
Vito: No, not really, I'm more of something else . .
Steve: Well, show us!
(Vito stretches out his arms and curves his hands towards each other. Lightning sparks from
one hand and shoots back to the other)
Empath Kid #3: Oh, we don't have a lot of that!
Steve: Yeah, you're like Raphael! No one's ever seen it, but his lightning is black and white!
Vito: Black and white?
(Vito flashes back to when he and Mike were traveling in the tunnel. Vito touched a rock and
had a memory flash of the Empath Society running from Steen and his troops. A mysterious
silhouette figure summons black and white lightning)
Steve: Yup.
Vito: Uhm, when can we meet him?
Steve: We are supposed to meet up with uncle and your friends at five-fifteen. It's two-thirty
right now. Oh, I know what we should do! Kids, do you know where Ian is?
Empath Kid #1: I think he's at the park.
Steve: Alrighty, thanks kid! Let's go, Vito!
(Steve grabs Vito; Nec taps Vito's shoulders)
Nec: Can't we hang out with the fire people a bit more?
Vito: . . . Let's go, Steve.
Nec: Oh well, fine. Let's go meet your little taser friend.
(Steve, Vito, and Nec disappear. Camera moves up to a small apartment room of an
apartment building. The room is a pigsty. There is a bunch of clothing piled on top of a bed.
All of a sudden, a person rises from the clothing pile)
Evan Weiss
(Evan walks to his bathroom and shuts the door. He then somehow ends up out of the small
kitchen area with food. He puts his plate down and walks over to his closet and opens it.
The camera view first shows his clothes and then shows the view of the closet, but one can
notice that the pile of clothing on the bed is no longer there. Evan closes his closet without
picking any clothing, yet somehow he is in a set of new attire. He walks over to his window
and opens it. Evan then sits at his desk and turns on his computer. The computer starts up
and Evan clicks on a program. It starts up and the whole screen shows a fancy game screen:
Heroes Reality)
Evan: Gotta check up on how everyone's doing.
(The computer screen shows the game; Evan's screen-name is DRwEiss. The mouse moves
over to MONEY and then over to SHOP. It scrolls down to an item and clicks it, but receives
an ERROR)
Evan: Damn. Still not enough money to buy an eclipse. Let's see what else is going on.
Creator's Note: Pay very careful attention to the things Evan is doing . .
(Evan moves the mouse over to PUBLIC BOARD and a window pops up. Evan starts
skimming down the list)
Evan: “Heroes Help Request . . .” Blah-blah-blah. “. . . Reward: Molecular Manipulation
Ability.” (Scoffs) Yeah right, no one can guarantee that! (Sighs) Nothing new. Everyone's
offline now too . .
(A window suddenly pops up)
Evan: Huh? “THE FOLLOWING HAVE ARRIVED AT YOUR LOCATION: VITO
VINCENTINO, MIKE CROSS, ANDY REID, SONIA BELL . . .” Sweet! I've been waiting
for these guys to get here! Finally, after uploading their files for three days!
(Evan moves the mouse over to Vito's stats and looks an empty bar: OVERLOAD METER)
Evan: Well, I want him to get more experience fast . . . it's risky, but . . .
(Evan clicks a Plus-Sign button by the Overload Meter, which goes up while his money
decreases with each click)
Evan: Okay, the others are already somewhere else, and now Vito will meet up with the other
electric kid in the area. Now to just preset the Overload Command for Five-Thirty . . .
(Evan clicks the button 'Overload Set' and a countdown clock appears. He looks at his own
clock)
Evan: Yikes, I'm going to be late for my date!
(Evan runs out of the room; Camera view moves out of the room to his window, where
outside, Evan is already outside in new, neat, fancy attire. The camera moves back to the
computer word, focusing on the texts: VITO, OVERLOAD and the clock countdown)

(Scene transits back to the same scene where Ryan, Snack and Kuder were. The grave hole is
empty. Kuder simply stands patiently)
Ryan: How did you?
Kuder: I didn't do anything. Now that you have nothing to prove-
Snack: Zombie!!
Ryan: Zombie?
Snack: Zombie.
Ryan: Hmm . . . yes, Zombie!
(Ryan and Snack charge Kuder, who puts up his hand and projects force field bubbles around
Ryan and Snack)
Ryan: Hey! What the!
Snack: Let us out of here!
Kuder: You guys are crazy, I'm out of here.
Ryan: Wait!
Snack: You can't leave us here!
Kuder: Sure I can!
(Kuder walks away. Ryan and Snack continually bang on the force fields around them as the
camera moves up to the sky; early morning goes to mid-day. Ryan and Snack are sleeping in
their respective bubbles. Someone approaches them. The someone turns out to be Malus
Oran)
Creator's Note: Yeah, I know it's been a long time since I've used this guy. Chapter 3-4 was
it? Well, anyway, Malus Oran was the first guy Ryan and Snack met in the Helix Corps
building. He initially said his name was 'Burt Morrison' but that turned out to be false. His
ability is still a mystery as he somehow managed to disarm two guards without moving an
inch.
Malus: Hey, kids! How ya survivin'?
(Ryan and Snack wake up)
Ryan: Uhm . . . hi, who are you?
Snack: Is it another zombie?
Malus: Oh boy, what happened to you two?
Ryan: (Clears up his eyes) Wait, I've seen you before!
Malus: Shocker.
Snack: You're . . . the guy with the weird name!
Malus: Malus Oran, yes. You want me to get you two out of there or not?
(Ryan and Snack nod. Malus simply snaps his fingers and both force field bubbles pop.
Ryan and Snack fall to the ground)
Malus: Now, now! We have no time to spare for kissing the ground!
Snack: What do you mean?
Malus: I've decided to take you two- are you ready? This is a real doosey! Bah-bum-bah-
bum-bah-bum-bah-bum . . . As my apprentices!
(Silence. Ryan and Snack sit there with dull looks. Malus begins to looks nervous)
Malus: My apprentices!
Ryan: Who are you supposed to be? Donald Trump?
Malus: Okay, how do I put this into easier terms . . . I'm a superhero, and I want to form a
team. I want you two to be a part of that team.
Snack: You have caught my interest, but question is . . why?
Malus: Really? Isn't a life of excitement reason enough?!
Ryan: He's right. We're robbed of our mini super hero business.
Snack: I supposed we could join- wait!
Ryan: That's right! Why are we waiting?
Snack: You're not in cahoots with the Sovereigns are you?
Creator's Note: Again, it's been a while since I've mentioned this group, Amadeus's
organization of super powered people. Ryan and Snack were toured at a base by Jeremy
once.
Malus: The what?
Ryan: You know. Led by Amadeus!
Malus: . . . .
Snack: Guy with the mask?
Malus: . . . .
Ryan: Blows you to smithereens?
Malus: . . . what?
Ryan: I guess he doesn't know.
Snack: I guess not. Should we?
Ryan: If we won't to out beat Kuder.
Snack: Yeah.
Ryan: Okay, Malus! We'll do it!
Malus: Good! Meet back at the city park tonight! I'll gather any information I can for our
first task!
(Ryan and Snack nod. They all disperse. Camera zooms by the grave hole. Nothing but dirt
is seen in the empty grave; all of the sudden, eyes are seen. Part of the dirt morphs into
several different colors, and then a human shape is seen. The illusion disappears as Kuder is
lying in the empty grave. He gets up from the grave and dials his phone)
Kuder: Yeah. They are cooperating with Malus now. Yeah, that guy.
(On the other line is Steen)
Steen: Good work. You know where they are headed, I presume?
Kuder: Yes. Shall I provide the coordinates?
Steen: Not necessary. Rendezvous with the others at that location. They'll be able to find
you.
Kuder: Yes, sir.
(Kuder disconnects and walks off screen)
(Scene transits)

(Scene opens with Lynne walking to a home. Note, this is a different place, since her old
home and family have burned down. She walks in and turns on the lights. She walks into the
kitchen and finds a note: “Went to get dinner, -Auntie” Lynne puts the note down and turns
around to see Lloyd)
Creator's Note: Lloyd is the guy who gave Lynne the recorded disc message from Crimson
Reaper. Lloyd has the ability to phase through objects.
Lynne: What are you doing here?
Lloyd: Boss sent me to you. He's got another message.
(Lloyd holds up the CD. Lynne is about to take it, but pulls back her hand)
Lynne: Just who exactly is this Crimson Reaper?
Lloyd: That's a secret. Even I don't know. He said you would know him the most.
Lynne: I don't get it.
Lloyd: Neither do I. I'm just here to deliver the disc.
Lynne: Do you know what he says on here?
Lloyd: Nope.
Lynne: Can I trust him?
Lloyd: I don't know.
Lynne: You're not that helpful.
Lloyd: I'm just doing my job.
(Lloyd runs out of the room by phasing through the wall. Lynne goes to her computer and
clicks the eject button. The CD tray pops out and she places the CD in it. Scene changes;
Damien is walking out of a police station. He then proceeds to walk through an alley, but is
stopped by Glace)
Damien: What do you want?
Glace: Why don't you turn yourself in already? You and Todd are the major suspects to all
the Sylar cases around here. Todd obviously isn't it, so that means you are.
Damien: What makes you so sure that I am?
Glace: Background check, abilities, motives, everything about you screams Sylar! Whether
or not you're taking abilities, murder is still a crime.
Damien: Speaking of motives, why are you really here? You're clearly not here to make
assumptions, you're not that type, Glace.
Glace: And how do you know that?
Damien: From what I've heard you're calm and collected. You wouldn't jump to conclusions.
Glace: Tell me about Lynne.
Damien: Annoying little red head girl with an attitude. What else is there?
Glace: Connection?
Damien: None anymore. Why are you asking me this? Don't you have that Liza chick?
Glace: She's clingy, I don't really like her. She's the one obsessing over me.
Damien: Playing both girls like cards.
Glace: So does that mean Lynne feels something for me?
(Damien chuckles and begins walking away. Glace turns the opposite direction and walks
away as well. Damien stops mid-track)
Damien: Hey!
(Glace stops as well, without turning around)
Damien: She always wished to experience snow. Make it happen.
(Glace nods and continues to walk on)
(Scene transits and shows Vito and Steve arrive at what seems to be a small factory)
Vito: What is this place?
Steve: If I'm right, Ian has an appointment here today.
(The factory seems to have its lights off. A generator is suddenly heard and the lights and
electricity come back on. A small door on the side of the building opens; Ian walks out and
admires the building. Ian is a young adult bearing a pony tail)
Steve: Hey, Ian!
Ian: How's it going, Steve?
Steve: I'd like you to meet Vito. Vito, this is Ian.
Ian: Hey Vito, how's it going?
Vito: Nice to meet you, Ian.
(Vito shakes Ian's hand. Electricity suddenly surges from Vito's arm to Ian's. The electricity
surges around Ian's body. Vito quickly pulls back)
Vito: Oh my god, I'm sorry! Are you okay? I didn't mean to-
Ian: (Laughs) Don't worry! I'm fine.
Steve: Ian here is like you, Vito. He's a lightning rod!
Vito: What do you mean?
Ian: I absorb electricity. I can do whatever I want with it, except shoot it out. I'd have to do
it through something.
Steve: So what makes you different Vito is that you can project your lightning.
Ian: It's still nice to have another electric guy. There isn't much of us.
Vito: Huh. So is that what you do for the colony?
Ian: Yeah, any power outages, here I am to the rescue! The mobile battery!
Steve: So Ian, would you care to join us? Vito is new to the colony.
Ian: Of course!
Vito: Great! What time is it now?
Steve: Time for us to go meet up with your friends.
(Steve grabs Vito and Ian and teleports. Camera moves over to a few blocks past. A taxi cab
drives in; Evan comes out of the cab, and the cab leaves. Evan looks around, then at turns
on his iPhone. He speed-dials a number, waits a few moments, then turns it off. He then
takes out a small note out of his pocket. Evan then crumples the note and tosses it away,
which spontaneously pops and combusts)
Evan: Fake number. Fake address. Great!
(Evan checks his iPhone again. He clicks a 'Heroes Reality' application and checks up on
Vito's progress)
Evan: It's almost done soon. I guess I'll start heading home. I'll cut through the city plaza I
guess.
(Evan walks away. Scene transits to Malus Oran sitting on a park bench at night. Ryan falls
out of a tree and Snack rolls out of a bush. They both get up and try to act professional:
Ryan is in his Batman jacket, and Snack is in his Nacho Libre costume)
Snack: I thought I was Batman.
Ryan: But you have a Nacho Libre costume.
Snack: Right.
Malus: Fellas, really?
Ryan: Yes, this is necessary!!
Snack: Come on, Malus, don't pull a Sharon on us!
Creator's Note: 'Sharon' is an inside joke between some students who attend school with
Ryan and Snack (the real-life people). Honestly, I don't advocate this joke too much, neither
do I understand, but it's funny, haha, so I'm trying to see how well it works out here . .
Malus: Did you guys bring extra clothes?
Ryan: Yeah they are right-
(Malus claps his hands and suddenly, Ryan and Snack are in regular clothing. They are
shocked and check their bags to see that their costumes are stowed away in the bags)
Malus: Come on, we've got business.
Ryan: So what's up?
Malus: Some guy's calling us out. Says he's going to rob a local bank.
Snack: This guy's asking for trouble. Who is he?
(Malus shows a picture to Ryan and Snack. It is a photo of Kuder)
Ryan: Kuder?!
Snack: Another zombie?
Malus: I assume you two know him.
Ryan: Sorta.
Snack: Actually killed him once. Or so we thought.
Malus: I normally would ask the story, but since it's you two, we'll be skipping that. So
Kuder, was it? This Kuder fellow is calling us out, question is why?
Ryan: I don't know. This could be a trap. Last time we encounter him we-
Malus: Up-up-up! No stories, leaves more surprises for me.
Snack: Yeah, let's just go and beat his butt down!
Malus: Sounds like a plan! Let's go!
(Malus and Snack get up and run. Ryan shakes his head and follows)
(Scene cuts to cops surrounding a bank)
Cop: (Through a megaphone) Reason with us! Let the hostages go!
(One police car is suddenly covered in a force field bubble and is then compressed by that
bubble. The police car is nothing but rubble)
Cop: Oh boy, we don't have any specials with us.
(Malus, Ryan and Snack arrive at the scene)
Malus: Coming through!
Cop: Woah, woah, I can't let you in there.
Malus: I'll be famous one day, now let us through!
Ryan: We can help, we have abilities.
Snack: Yeah.
Cop: Okay, so here's the situation-
(Ryan listens intently to the officer, but Malus and Snack simply rush to the bank. Ryan
notices this)
Ryan: Hey! Malus! Snack! Wait up!
(Ryan runs up with them. Malus walks up to the door and spits on it. The spit spreads
around the door and corrodes it away. Malus, Ryan and Snack walk in. As soon as they walk
in, a large force field appears the whole building)
Malus: Ohoo-hoo! This makes it even more fun!
(Malus points at two different corners, Ryan and Snack nod. Malus slowly approaches the
middle lane. Ryan rolls over to the right, and absorbs the material of the floor while rolling.
Snack rips off the rope from a queue line and looks around the corner. Malus takes a couple
steps further looking at the many desks. Ryan crawls on the floor stealthily. Snack walks
cautiously then turns his attention to the bathroom. Malus looks around the right corner or
the barrier. Ryan looks around the left corner of the floor and grabs someone's legs)
Ryan: I got him! Guys!
Malus: Ryan.
Ryan: Huh?
(Ryan looks up to see he grabbed Malus' legs)
Malus: Let me go.
Ryan: Sorry.
Snack: What happened?
Malus: Nothing. Did you find anything?
Snack: I checked the bathroom, but I didn't find anything-
(Suddenly, they all hear a flushing sound. Footsteps are heard. Ryan, Snack and Malus are
all held in a force field by Kuder)
Snack: Kuder!
Ryan: Let us go!
Malus: Nice ability!
Kuder: Thank you, and who are you?
Malus: A drifter. A nomad. Just an average joe.
Ryan: Who's gonna kick your butt!
Malus: That last touch wasn't necessary, but thanks.
Kuder: I got them!
???: Oh, so you did!
(A voice is heard from nowhere. Ryan, Snack and Malus look around and see nothing)
Kuder: Let's bring them back to the Boss.
???: Well, that was easy. You really didn't need our help.
Kuder: Boss is just cautious for us. Couple of us already died.
???: We've always died.
Kuder: Not by murder though.
???: Right. Anyway, let's get going.
Malus: So who's this boss of yours?
Kuder: That's right! You're the late bloomer, so they say.
???: So nobody you know.
Malus: Huh, stubborn, eh?
(Malus breaks out of the force field. Malus lifts up one hand, which causes the a large floor
piece to pry up and smack Kuder in the face. Malus then runs up and grabs something
invisible. The ??? is chocking)
Malus: Come on, breath!
(The ??? gradually reverts to visible state, revealing himself to be Kuder)
Ryan: What?!
Snack: Zombies?
(The other Kuder gets up: There are two Kuders)
Snack: Twin zombies?!
Ryan: What's going on?
Malus: Now isn't this interesting?

(Scene switches and shows Lynne sitting by her computer opening the DVD player program.
The player starts and the screen pops up with Crimson Reaper)
Crimson Reaper: Hello, Lynne. How do you like Lloyd as you're delivery boy?
Lynne: I can't say much. I know nothing about him.
Crimson Reaper: You will. The time will come. But that's not what I'm here to discuss
today. I'm here to discuss about another boy. One who goes by Glace Walker.
Lynne: How do you know about Glace?
Crimson Reaper: I know a lot of things Lynne. Now, what do you know about Glace
Walker?
Lynne: He goes to my school, he's popular. He's nice, cool and calm. His ability is freezing
and he has a girlfriend.
Crimson Reaper: Girlfriend? Is that you?
Lynne: No. It's Liza Dodson.
Crimson Reaper: I see. That makes things easier. Stay away from Glace Walker.
Lynne: What?
Crimson Reaper: I can't reveal much, but you have to listen to me when I say stay away
from him.
Lynne: Why? Glace is my friend and-
Crimson Reaper: As I recall it, you are too awkward to say anything. It's your friends and
their encouragements that help you get along with Glace so well. Think back, has there ever
been a moment when both you and Glace were alone together?
Lynne: How did- . . . never mind. No, we haven't been alone. But that doesn't matter-
Crimson Reaper: Exactly! Now give up and move on. I'm only looking for your safety,
Lynne.
Lynne: You're not my parents!
Crimson Reaper: . . . That's right. You're family- they're dead. All burned up with your
happy little home by Damien Eaton.
Lynne: . . .
Crimson Reaper: You think going to Glace will help you? Feeling loved by someone will
fill that void? It won't. That's the universal truth. I realize the void is a strange emotive.
You don't know how to compensate with all this. Your family, your friends, the Sylars and-
Lynne: Enough! Answer me this one thing: Were you the same red hooded guy that bought
me and Damien the swords couple years ago?
Crimson Reaper: . . . I am.
Lynne: Then I'm done here.
Crimson Reaper: What will you hope to accomplish with that information?
Lynne: Maybe. Damien isn't the one . . .
Crimson Reaper: He is. I know. I know everything, Lynne. You're going to receive a
phone call in a couple of seconds, don't answer it.
(Lynne's phone vibrates. Lynne stares at it then at Crimson Reaper. She picks it up, flips it
open and answers)
Lynne: Hello?
Glace: Hey, Lynne? Come down to the amusement park.
Crimson Reaper: It's Glace Walker, isn't it? Don't do what he says.
Lynne: Uhm okay, I'll be there.
(Lynne hangs up the phone and grabs a jacket)
Crimson Reaper: Lynne, do as I say and come back here.
Lynne: Why should I? Who are you anyway?
Crimson Reaper: I'm a friend, and I want to help.
Lynne: Well, you know what-
(All of the sudden, Lynne disappears. Crimson Reaper watches this)
Crimson Reaper: . . . She's evolving much faster than I thought.
Creator's Note: Yeah, Lynne got another addition to her powers: real Teleporting. So she can
freeze time and teleport now.
(Lynne suddenly appears at an amusement park. Nobody is around, most of the lights are
out. She looks around and hears Glace)
Glace: Couldn't wait to get here?
(Lynne looks up to see Glace sitting atop a Ferris wheel. Scene switches back to the bank
with Malus, Ryan and Snack)
Malus: So, they're two of you!
Kuder 1: In this case, yes.
Ryan: What is this?
Kuder 2: Well, he's a barrier projector, and I'm a chameleon, so to speak.
Snack: So, we did kill you?
Kuder 1: Sort of.
Kuder 2: I guess you could say that.
Ryan: So, what are you, clones?
Kuder 1: Yup.
Kuder 2: The secret is out.
Malus: Interesting. So, can all of you clone?
Kuder 1: Nope.
Kuder 2: Only the source.
Malus: And where is this source?
Kuder 1: We've spoken too much.
Kuder 2: We're wasting too much time.
Ryan: Wait, so where's the body of the one Snack killed?
Snack: The telekinetic?
Kuder 1: Enough talk, boss is waiting.
(Kuder 1 charges at Malus, who flings Kuder 2 right at him. Kuder 1 projects a force field
around Kuder 1 and lets him out for a safe landing. Snack then runs in with his charged
queue rope line and attempts to smack Kuder 2, who dodges by camouflaging. Ryan looks to
see the barely visible shape of Kuder 2 running around. Ryan runs in and tackles Kuder 2
down. Kuder 1 projects small fields around his fists, which serve as boxing gloves. He
charges at Malus and swings his fists at him, who ducks and kicks Kuder 1 in the gut. Snack
runs up to Ryan who is struggling to keep Kuder 2 down)
Snack: I got it, Visbeen!
(Snack smacks at Kuder 2, but instead accidentally repeatedly smacks Ryan many times with
his charge queue rope line)
Ryan: Ow! Snack, hit Kuder not me!
Snack: I'm trying!
Malus: What are you two doing? Get in the game!
(Malus punches Kuder, who blocks with his field protected fists. Kuder 2 breaks out of
Ryan's grasp and pushes him towards Snack. Snack pushes Ryan away and runs after Kuder
2. Malus notices which direction Kuder 2 is running and stomps the ground with one foot;
Kuder 2 suddenly bounces up into the air and falls onto Kuder 1. Kuder 1 attempts to form
another force field, but Malus snaps his fingers and the force field is formed around Kuder 1
and Kuder 2. They attempt to break out, but not avail. Ryan and Snack get up to see that
Malus had finished the job)
Malus: Clearly, we need training.
(All of the sudden, the window ceiling breaks and another Kuder lands on his feet on the
floor. Malus, Ryan and Snack prepare to fight, but Kuder 3 brights up immensely and then
when the light disappears, all Kuders are gone)
Malus: A lot of training.
(Ryan and Snack simply smile innocently, but then give up. Scene switches back to Lynne.
She looks up at Glace)
Lynne: So what do you want?
Glace: I wanted to show you something.
Lynne: There isn't much here.
Glace: Let's make a bet. If I can make you happy and amazed, will you go out with me?
Lynne: Wouldn't that be cheating on Liza?
Glace: Liza, isn't my type. We were never together. She just told people that.
Lynne: Whatever, I'm not interested.
Glace: W-wait! Just . . . watch.
(Glace, from atop the Ferris wheel, pulls out a hose. Lynne looks and sees that the hose is
extended by a rather long hose connector to a nearby water output faucet. The water is
already running, as water leaks from the faucet. Glace turns on the hose and turns the nozzle
to SPRINKLER/MIST. The water sprays out gently, and then Glace puts his hand slightly
over it. He starts chilling the water with his powers. The water turns into snow. Lynne
notices this and starts to feel overjoyed. Soon, snow flurries start pouring down. Lynne
dances in the snow as she is extremely happy. Glace smiles at Lynne's happiness. Glace then
starts to enjoy the snow as well. He then looks down at the hose to notice the water stops
running. He looks down and sees that Lynne stopped the water flow. Scene cuts as Glace is
down off the Ferris wheel. He walks over to Lynne)
Glace: Did you like it?
Lynne: Yeah, I really did.
Glace: Then why did you stop it?
Lynne: It's just . . . I don't know.
Glace: So where does this leave us?
Lynne: Does it leave us anywhere?
Glace: Well, even though Liza is a leech, I told her to buzz off.
Lynne: So, does that mean you're free?
Glace: Always have been.
(Lynne smiles. Glace smiles as well and the two of them hug. Scene switches back and
shows Vito, Steve, and Ian already eating a meal with the other: Mike, Andy, and Sonia.
They share conversations and laugh. Evan is seen at a nearby table looking lonesome and
eating a sandwich)
Mike: She blinded you?
Sonia: Serves you right.
Vito: I didn't mean to look at her, I was just wondering where I was and-
Sonia: Didn't know such a suave man like you could be such a pervert~
Andy: The important thing is . . . did you see anything before she blinded you?
(Sonia smacks Andy on the head)
Andy: Ow, I'm kidding, haha.
Steve: Well, Raphael sent you guys all in different house holds. He didn't want the burden of
holding you all in a single person's house.
Ian: Out of all the empaths, Raphael has shown true empathy by caring for everyone in the
community.
Sonia: Wow, sounds like you guys really value this guy.
Steve: Of course, not only is he my uncle, but he is our guide in surviving the cruel outside
world.
Sonia: Cruel outside world?
Andy: The world doesn't believe in empaths, nor do they tolerate them, Sonia. The empaths
live here because of the 'outside' world.
Sonia: Wow. It is still hard to believe that you guys exist.
Ian: Hey, we're all still human. We ain't aliens or anything.
Vito: I don't care, I'm just glad that I can get some answers.
Andy: So what exactly is wrong with your powers?
Steve: Hey, you guys go on ahead, I'll pay the bill.
(Everyone, but Steve, leaves the restaurant. Steve looks over to Evan, who is checking his
iPhone)
Steve: Hey, Evan. What'cha doing there?
Evan: Hey, Steve. Just checking up on a game.
Steve: I see. Did you meet up with my uncle?
Evan: It's the 20th already?
Steve: Well, I guess I'll take that as a no. You know there are some newcomers. One of them
is also struggling with his powers.
Evan: (Lack of caring tone) Cool.
Steve: So, how's that game going?
Evan: Leveling up my characters. One's going to happen now, but he's going to wipe out a
bunch of people too. Unless . . .
Steve: Unless?
Evan: Ah, good! He's near the electric absorber.
Steve: Electric absorber?
(Steve looks outside at Vito and the others. He then looks at Ian)
Evan: 10 . . . 9 . . . 8 . . . 7 . . . 6-
Steve: Oh no.
(Steve runs outside)
Steve: Guys, wait!
Evan: 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . boom!
(Vito was talking with Andy, when all of the sudden, Vito glows bright. Everyone takes a step
back)
Vito: Oh no, not again!
Andy: This is . . . !
(Vito screams as an electric radial wave surges around him. Everyone is sent back. Huge
lightning arcs fly out of Vito. People who see this run away. Some people get hit. Ian jumps
up and tries to absorb the lightning. Ian holds up both his hands, causing all the lightning
coming out of Vito to be directed at him. Ian struggles as he absorbs the electricity. The
lightning flow slowly ceases and Vito faints. Ian collapses and breathes heavily)
Andy: Everyone okay?
Sonia: Yeah.
(Crowds of people watch and murmur. Steve turns around and Evan is there watching. He
has a look of disbelief on his face)
Evan: No way!
