(Chapter begins with a bus arriving to a stop. The bus lets out the passengers then proceeds on. Todd
and Damien are seen. They walk slowly looking at something in awe. The camera turns to show a
huge landscape view of mass crowds, kiosks, stands, and the convention building itself. The two look
at each other)
Todd: So . . where first?
Damien: You lead.
(Todd shrugs, gulps, and proceeds towards the crowd. Damien follows. The camera, in bird's eye
view, moves across and shows Lynne and Glace walking around)
Lynne: Wow! Isn't this great?
Glace: (Evil smirk) Indeed it is . . hey, why don't you go look around? Pick up some tips from other
people. I need to go take care of some business.
Lynne: Okay!
(Glace walks off. Lynne looks around in amazement. She witnesses some ability demonstrations)
Announcer: Introducing a never before seen ability! Ladies and gentlemen, young and old, come now
and take witness to an event that will become the revolution to the super powered world!
(Bunch of people gather around the announcer and a man. Lynne stands up on tipi-toes, but still can
not see the demonstration. She looks around and sees a boy stuck in a similar predicament. She looks
at the boy who smiles back and suddenly evaporates into gas, flies through the crowd, and reassembles
in front. Lynne stands back, looks around, and thinks. She then takes a few running steps, closes her
eyes, and suddenly finds herself falling in front of the announcer. She looks up and gets up,
embarrassed)
Creator's Note: Yes, Lynne's second instance of teleportation.
Announcer: Eager to see the power are you? Don't worry, this will not be a show of disappointment!
(Lynne stands back a little and watches)
Announcer: Have any of you desired to throw something away, but there were no trash cans in sight?
Fret not! Can everyone look at our demonstrator?
(The announcer points at a man who stands pridefully. Across from him is a mass pile of trash)
Announcer: Observe!
(The Demonstrating man stands tall, brings up his arm, and shakes his fist slightly. The trash pile
suddenly warps around and disappears as it spirals into a center point, and then completely
disappears)
Announcer: The pile of garbage is no more!
(The crowd goes wild in awe and excitement)
Announcer: Completely removed from reality, not only can the ability work for trash but . .
(Lynne fights through the crowd and looks around some more. She then sees an odd panel and walks
up to it: “THE MYSTERIES OF TIME & SPACE MANIPULATION”)
(Lynne looks at the pictures and theories written on posters set up on the poor, shabby panel. Theories
of time and space, altered time lines, and pictures of teleporters are observed. A man suddenly comes
out from the panel and looks at Lynne)
Lynne: Can I help you?
Panel Guy: I don't know. Are you here to ridicule me?
Lynne: What?
Panel Guy: I know what you're thinking. You think I'm crazy, don't you?
Lynne: Well, you're acting sorta crazy right now.
Panel Guy: If you have nothing better to say just go.
Lynne: I kind of want to know more about this “time/space manipulation” thing.
Panel Guy: Hmm, okay. Well, there are time travelers among us!
Lynne: Time travelers?
Panel Guy: Yes, people who have mastery over the time and space planes, thus allowing them to go
back in the past and do what they want! They could be changing the past now and we wouldn't know
it!
Lynne: So, what else can a time/space manipulator do?
Panel Guy: Basic assumed abilities are along the lines of freezing, speeding, or reversing time and
teleporting. But further research is required; if I can get my hands on one.
(Lynne turns around as she hears the crowd go wild again from the space warping demonstrator's
ability. The Time/Space Manipulation Panel Guy scoffs at the crowd's excitement. Lynne turns back to
him)
Panel Guy: That's nothing! A full master of time and space could do that at a minimal effect!
(Lynne simply nods and wanders off. Camera goes back to Todd and Damien pushing through the
crowds. They stand put and take a moment to look at a map. They then give up to realize that they are
utterly lost. Todd looks around and sees Glace at the end of a crowd. Todd rushes through the people
with Damien following)
Damien: Hey! Todd, wait! Where are you going!?
(Todd reaches Glace who simply smiles. Damien catches up and sees why Todd ran off. The two boys
stare at Glace)
Glace: Todd and Damien came to check out the convention as well? Of course, a powerless dreamer
and the aspiring arsonist would be interested in what tips they can pick up from an ability-con.
Damien: “Pyro-Sylar”, my ass! You set me up for the cops, didn't you!?
Glace: My, my, quiet down, that term shouldn't be used so carelessly! This whole place is a Sylar's
Heaven! All the grand people here with tips and nicks on how to feed those leechers.
Todd: That doesn't mean anything to us, why are you pulling this up!?
Glace: Oh, but contraire! It means the world to me!
Damien: Enough with this crap, where is Lynne?!
Glace: She's . . around.
Todd: Tell us where she is!
Glace: I don't have time for this, I'm very busy.
(Glace attempts to leave, but Damien steps forth and pulls out a ball of fire)
Damien: You can just tell me . . or I'll make you tell me!
(People stop and stare at Damien and Glace. Glace looks around: Some people are worried, but
others stick out more in their dark glances and stares. Glace smiles then turns to Damien)
Glace: Pyros are such a common thing in our world. What's it feel like to be normal, Damien?
Damien: (Scoffs) Don't compare me with a wet match!
(Damien's fire ball turns into a fire pillar that extends high into the sky. Everyone looks in awe. The
strange people that Glace looked at take careful note. Lynne looks up as well, takes sudden
realization, and starts running. The fire pillar then disappears)
Glace: Hmm . . you made your point.
(Glace walks away chuckling)
Damien: Hey! Where are you going!?
(As Glace leaves, Lynne arrives from another direction. She runs up to Damien and Todd)
Lynne: Damien? Todd? What are you two doing here?
Todd: We're here to rescue you!
Lynne: What?
Damien: Yeah, that Glace is a freak!
Lynne: What are you guys saying?
Todd: Lynne, I need you to listen to me: Glace is a Sylar.
Lynne: . . what?
Damien: He killed Julie.
Todd: We both got her dieing texts two nights ago . .
(Lynne slaps Todd across the face)
Lynne: Don't screw with me like that!
Damien: Lynne, calm down!
Lynne: Lying about Glace and now you're speaking lies about Julie!
Damien: We're not lying!
Lynne: Just stop!
(Lynne turns and suddenly teleports. Damien and Todd look around, but she is nowhere to be seen.
Lynne appears somewhere in the distance behind a set up panel. She sits there and cries silently, but
stops when she hears a couple of men talking)
Man #1: You see that huge fire earlier?
Man #2: Yeah, what was that?
Man #1: It was some kid with a fire ability!
Man #2: That kid's something special then.
Man #1: Special indeed . .
Man #2: Hey, you aren't thinking . .
Man #1: No one is going to catch us!
Man #2: Fine man, just keep it clean.
Man #1: Haha, being a Sylar gives me so many things to look forward to!
(The men walk away. Lynne gets up and hesitates. Glace sees Lynne)
Glace: Lynne! What are you doing? Let's go!
(Lynne looks at Glace, hesitates, and walks to Glace with a worried look)
(Camera moves over to Damien and Todd)
Todd: Hey, where's the sword?
Damien: I wasn't carrying it. Did you leave it on the bus?
Todd: Ah crap. I'll go get it.
Damien: Okay, but hurry up!
(Camera transits to show Todd running towards a bus lot. He looks for the bus that he had arrived in.
He walks around the corner of a bus and sees the sword laying on the ground. Todd walks slowly, but
is suddenly telekinetically pinned to the bus)
Sylar #1: The boy took the bait.
Sylar #2: Now the boy is bait for the pyro.
(The two Sylars chuckle and Todd gulps)

(Scene switches to the large gathering in the meeting room of the Army of Seven. Crimson Reaper
takes his seat as leader, while the others watch him)
Andy: You're the leader?
Crimson Reaper: Yes.
Blake: Some red-riding hood bloke is the man behind all this?
Phearson: Believe it or not, he is.
Malus: Yup.
Andy: The two of you knew who the leader was?
Phearson: We've met on occasion.
Crimson Reaper: Now let's put the small chatter aside, gentlemen. We have much to discuss. Andy
Reid, please report your findings on the Empaths.
Blake: Empaths?
Malus: No mean of disrespect, Reaper, but you sent one of us in search of a fairy tale?
Vito: (Vito stands up) We're very much real.
Malus: And who are you?
Crimson Reaper: Vito Vincentino.
Vito: . . do I know you?
Crimson Reaper: Perhaps. I had no idea you were living with the Empaths.
Vito: I wasn't. I was looking for them myself as well. That's when I bumped into Andy and Sonia.
Ryan: Vito, did you pick up any more powers?
Snack: Yeah, show us what you can do!
Vito: Uhm, no that's-
Malus: He's lost all of them!
Ryan: Huh?
Crimson Reaper: Is this true, Phearson?
Phearson: . . .
(Phearson gets up, walks over to Vito, and takes in a big whiff. He then breathes out and returns to his
seat)
Phearson: He's got some history in his brain . . he doesn't have much left. But . . there's something in
there, and it ain't the power he got left . .
Vito: How did-
Crimson Reaper: Well, continue with the report, Andy. Mr. Vincentino, if you will.
(Vito looks at Andy, who nods. Vito sits back down)
Andy: There is indeed a society of Empaths out there. An island covered in various disguises by the
skilled empaths living there. While it seems like a utopia, its leader, Raphael Rosario, envisions
otherwise. He intends to use the people in order to launch a wide-scale invasion against us in order to
“rightfully inherit the earth.”
Phearson: (Cackles) They're actually out there!?
Blake: Hmph.
Ryan: How did they get there in the first place? How come we've never heard of them before?
Malus: Remember that one guy who we brawled with? Steen, was it? Well, you can just leave the
thanks to the great poacher.
Ryan: What?
Crimson Reaper: Malus speaks the truth. Tim Steen had formed the Seven and progressed in various
dark activities including hunting Empaths. Mythology tells the empaths have grown dangerous, but in
reality, they are no big threat unless they try.
Will: And now we have a bunch under the palm of an eccentric . .
Blake: Hey, kid. Just 'cuz Malus let's his kids speak out of turn, you don't.
Will: Sorry, Mr.V-
Blake: Shush!
Ryan: Steen's not capable of doing that, is he?
Snack: He attacked us earlier today . . why is this not surprising?
Vito: Tim Steen is the reason behind all this?
Ryan: No, Vito, don't the wrong idea! I know Steen, this isn't his fault!
Crimson Reaper: While he instigated the start of this oncoming war, the current one to blame would
be this Raphael.
Malus: So what's the plan, Big Red?
Crimson Reaper: Only three would be necessary to hold back this wave of invaders. You all may do
as you all please, but I will get the other three members to take care of this.
Blake: The other three? No, I want to fight too! Just how strong are these other three!? Me alone
would be enough to blow away these empaths!
Snack: Yeah, I've been wondering, Mr. Reaper . . who's the strongest? There's seven of you Army of
Seven guys, right? Are you the number one?
Phearson: (Chuckles) Malus, I like this kid of yours! He's got me curious now as well! Rank us,
leader!
(Crimson Reaper is silent. Then he speaks)
Crimson Reaper: I am not included in this ranking, for my strength is galaxies beyond you all. But if
I really must rank . . keep in mind, this is an estimation based upon my own observations and guesses.
Out of the Army of Seven members in this room: Andy Reid would be 4th of the seven. Blake would be
5th. Phearson 3rd. And Malus 7th.
Ryan: Huh!?
Snack: Malus is the weakest!?
Malus: He's right, kids! I'm strong, but against these monsters, I'm paper-weight!
Blake: 5th!? Are you kidding me!? My ability can wipe out New York City in seconds!
Will: You're right, Mr. Vondran. There must be some misunderstanding.
Blake: Shut up, kid! Quit backing me up! Er-wait. Forget what I said!
Crimson Reaper: While it may be true that your power is indeed very devastating, my judgment is
based off on how skilled the user utilizes the ability. And don't take the ranking for granted, Blake. It
doesn't mean that you are light years away from taking Andy's spot. Same goes for the number six in
rank.
Blake: Hmph, whatever.
Sonia: Wow, I thought you were really strong, Andy!
Andy: I am, Sonia! The others are just . . stronger.
Oneshot: Master, why are you not number one?
Phearson: Huh? If I let all out, then I probably would be! But if I did that, the whole earth would
break apart!
Oneshot: I see. Another thing, master: if that man is really an empath, couldn't he take all of our
abilities right now?
Phearson: . . you're right.
(Everyone looks at Vito. Vito looks around)
Vito: What?
Phearson: It would be a big problem if there was another person like me running around. I can't have
no copy-cat doing that!
(Phearson's shadow takes a monstrous shape and extends to pierce Vito, who dodges)
Crimson Reaper: Phearson, cease this at once!
Phearson: No can do, boss! If he takes your power too, would that be good on your part? Get him,
Oneshot!
Oneshot: Yes, sir!
(Oneshot stretches out his arm and points his finger at Vito)
Oneshot: . . now I remember why you looked so familiar!
Vito: . . that stance . .
Oneshot: You took my pride, my wealth, you took it all away from me! Gaijin!
Creator's Note: Oneshot and Vito duked it out a long time ago in chapter Two. Gaijin is Japanese for
foreigner, which was the nickname Oneshot gave to Vito.
(Oneshot pulls his hand back and the air waves burst out. All of the sudden, Ryan jumps in and holds
out his arm, which is covered in metal. The “air bullet” that Oneshot fired is blocked by Ryan's
metallic hand. The blast continues to dig into Ryan's metallic hand, so Ryan grabs his metal arm and
uses the strength of both arms to push the blast to the ground below, which partially shatters)
Ryan: Leave Vito alone!
Oneshot: Stay out of matters that aren't your own!
Phearson: Stand down, Oneshot.
Oneshot: Master!
Phearson: I don't know what went on between you two, but I want a full examination on that empath!
(Phearson holds out his arm which becomes engulfed in a foggy shadow. Phearson charges Vito.
Ryan attempts to intervene, but Phearson's shadow stretches out and pulls Ryan down. Vito begins to
step back. Phearson almost reaches Vito, but is suddenly blocked. Phearson's shadow claw meets the
path of Snack's rigid hand which seems to be glowing slightly red)
Snack: Leave my friend and this perfectly good acquaintance of mine alone!
(Phearson gives a blank stare as he looks into the seriousness of Snack's eyes. Phearson then laughs
and pulls back. Ryan is released from the shadows and gets up)
Malus: I'm sorry for the trouble my subordinates caused, Red Leader-
Vito: Crimson Reaper.
Crimson Reaper: . .
Vito: Whether I get everyone's powers or not, which I don't even think I can do right, but no matter the
circumstance . . please let me fight back against the empath army.
Andy: Vito, you don't stand a chance-
Vito: I want to reason with them first. They are just like us, Andy! We can't just let them get
slaughtered without trying to save them!
Andy: . .
Phearson: Reid is one of them too?
Malus: Now that's a shocker!
Blake: . . . Andy, what is he talking about?
Andy: I'm an empath as well.
Blake: Huh.
Crimson Reaper: Hmm . . interesting, but two empaths on our side isn't enough to take on a whole
nation of them. I must call to an end to this meeting. You are all dismissed except for Phearson and
Malus. I must talk with you two.
(Everyone looks at each other and departs from the board room. Everyone leaves but Crimson Reaper,
Malus, and Phearson. The door shuts and Crimson Reaper turns to the two men)
Crimson Reaper: You're other brother has been found.

(Scene switches and shows Nec washing his face at Skye Dumont's house. He then drys his face with a
towel and looks into the mirror)
Nec: (Sighing) I keep forgetting that I'm looking at myself in the reflection . . You know, it's real lonely
without you here, Vito.
Skye: Pardon my intrusion, but I believe you talkin' to a mirror.
Nec: Oh sorry, I'm just so used to being stuck with Vito and now I'm stuck with . .
(Nec looks out the bathroom doorway and sees Evan watching the television)
Skye: Evan's a nice kid! I dunno what it was like with Vito, but you gotta stay here so we can help stop
Raphael . .
Nec: Right . . so what's for eats?
(Nec and Skye enter out of the bathroom doorway. Skye grabs some food out of a bag sitting on the
kitchen counter)
Skye: Sorry, had to get take-out. Chinese okay with ya?
Nec: Anything is better than the slop we ate at prison.
Skye: (Handing food to Nec and walking over to hand some to Evan) So you were a prison inmate? Is
that what they do to empaths there?
Nec: Huh? Nah, I don't even remember how we got in the hellhole in the first place. You're going to
have to ask Vito about that one.
Skye: Huh, I see. So Evan, how did it go with Raphael today?
(Evan is unresponsive)
Nec: Hey kid, she's talking to you!
Evan: Huh, yeah, great.
Nec: That's it.
(Nec gets up and turns off the television)
Evan: Hey, what the hell?!
Nec: Don't use that tone with me. Come to the table and eat.
(Evan grumply goes to the table with Nec. They both sit down and eat together. Scene cuts to show
them all laughing together)
Evan: Man, I love our family.
Skye: Sure do, son.
Nec: And I love you both.
(The room goes silent)
Evan: . . . I can't do it.
(Evan starts to tear as everything seems to blur around. The camera turns around 360 degrees to show
that Evan is sitting with Raphael)
Raphael: You were doing good! Why did you give up?
Evan: I just couldn't go through with it . . I love Nec and Skye, they are both great people, but to have
them pose as my parents?
Raphael: Evan, you are a reality bender. You can make anything into reality! As long as you hold
onto your dreams, they will always be real! Now, shall we try again?
(Evan simply nods and wipes his tears)

(Scene switches to an impatient Damien who is sitting around. He looks up and a small drop of rain
falls on his face. He then sees some dark clouds coming in. Damien looks at the time and sees how
late Todd is. Damien heads toward the bus lot)
(At the bus lot, Sylar #1 turns to Sylar #2 who is pinning Todd to the bus)
Sylar #1: He's coming.
Sylar #2: Okay, let's get ready.
(Damien arrives to the bus lot and looks around. Damien turns around the corner of a bus, where
Todd would have been, but sees nothing. Damien gets inside the empty bus and sees the sword and
Todd)
Damien: There you are! What are you doing, we're wasting time!
(Todd's mouth is actually telekinetically shut. The Sylar's hand is quickly shown releasing his grip.
The camera then switches back to Todd's mouth being released)
Todd: Damien! It's a trap!
Damien: What?
(The Sylars both put their hands out and the bus shakes and rumbles. Damien and Todd fall over as
the bus is tumbled upside down. Damien and Todd attempt to rejuvenate from the fall)
Damien: You okay?
Todd: Yeah, I'll manage.
(The side of the bus is suddenly ripped off. The Sylars climb up and look down at Damien and Todd)
Sylar #1: Why hello there!
Damien: What's the meaning of this?
Todd: He set you up.
Damien: What? Who?
Todd: Glace. You know when you made that huge fire earlier? Glace knew you would try to show off-
Damien: And know the Sylars would be after me . . and for the record, I wasn't showing off.
(Damien lights up his arms with fire)
Damien: No big deal, just more chumps to fr-
(Damien is suddenly doused with a huge wave of water. Damien stumbles due to the rush of the water
and then recovers)
Sylar #1: You won't be working that fire now. Thanks to my water ability, you're nothing.
Sylar #2: This one is mine.
(Sylar #2 telekinetically pins Damien down and points at Damien's head)
Todd: Stop it!
(Sylar #1 telekinetically throws Todd high in the air)
Damien: Todd!
Sylar #2: Say goodbye, burnout!
(Todd is falling in the air. All of the sudden, someone grabs his arm and they both teleport out of the
sky. They teleport near the broken bus where Damien is at. Todd and the teleporter both hit the
ground at great speed and impact. Todd gets up and turns his shoulders)
Todd: Ow . . hey, thanks- Lynne?
Lynne: Hey . . ow . . that hurt a lot.
Sylar #2: Take care of them, while I claim my prize!
Sylar #1: Don't take too long.
Sylar #2: Right, right.
(Lynne stands tall and faces the Sylars. She then starts to run at them)

(Scene switches over to Malus, Phearson and Crimson Reaper in the board room)
Malus: Brother? Who is he?
Crimson Reaper: I still don't know, but I felt various distortions in space from the same area. That
must be him.
Phearson: Other brother?
Crimson Reaper: That's right, I haven't told you yet.
Malus: We aren't alone, Phearson.
Phearson: What do you mean?
Crimson Reaper: Many people in the world have the potential to become gods, but only very few
succeed. Like you and Malus, there is another reality bender out there.
Phearson: Another one of us?
Crimson Reaper: We need to recruit him. If not-
Malus: We kill him?
Crimson Reaper: That would be most suitable.
Phearson: Well? Where is the little bugger?
Crimson Reaper: I don't know the exact location, but once I find out, I will alert you two to go after
him.
Malus: Sounds good. (Looks over at Phearson, who is looking outside)
Phearson: That kid of yours, Malus . . the one that stood up to me. What's his name?
Malus: Why so interested?
Phearson: I got plans for him.
Malus: . . . just make sure he's still alive.
(Scene jumps to Ryan, Snack, Sonia, Will, and Oneshot outside by some benches in the building's
outside square. Ryan and Snack awkwardly stare at the other three)
Ryan: So . .
Snack: We're all the partners of the Army of Seven?
Sonia: I guess so.
Ryan: I'm Ryan Visbeen.
Snack: And I'm Jon but you can call me Snack.
Sonia: That's a funny name, Snack. This is Will and Oneshot.
Will: Hello, there, Mr. Visbeen and Mr. Snack. Mr. Oneshot is not very talkative.
Ryan: Hey, sorry, for cutting you off back in the meeting room, Oneshot.
Oneshot: . . it is okay.
Snack: Why do they call you Oneshot?
Oneshot: Why is your name Snack?
Snack: Touche . .
Ryan: So, you guys saw what we can do and we saw what Oneshot can do. What about you guys?
Sonia: Will, whistle me a tune.
(Will begins to whistle a simple catchy tune. Sonia then concentrates and terrakinetically lifts up some
rocks. She then drops them and Will stops whistling)
(Will then holds out his arm which turns into liquid like water and forms back into his arm)
Ryan: We have an “earthbender” . .
Snack: And a “waterbender” . .
Ryan: Shotty “firebender!”
Snack: Then I'm Aang! Come Team Avatar, we must save the world!
(Ryan and Snack start running around the square. Sonia looks at Will)
Will: Seems like they are having fun.
Sonia: I guess we just play along?
(Will and Sonia join Snack as he runs from Ryan)
Oneshot: What is going on?
(They all stop. Ryan looks at Snack and puts his ring to his face, where he mimics half of his face as
the metal)
Ryan: Avatar! It is I, Prince Zuko! I have come to teach you firebending and team up with you against
my father, Fire Lord Ozai!
(Ryan points to Oneshot, who is clearly confused)
Oneshot: What?
Snack: Let's go, team! Stop Fire Lord Ozai and save the world!
(They all end up chasing Oneshot as he runs around the square. Phearson walks by and stares at the
commotion)
Phearson: . . hey boy!
Oneshot: I'm being pursued, master! I have been mistaken for this Ozai character!
Phearson: Not you, boy! That kid, Jonathan!
(Everyone stops moving around. Snack looks at Phearson)
Snack: Yes?
Phearson: Come with me.
(Phearson walks off somewhere. Snack looks at Ryan, who shrugs. Snack then runs off after
Phearson)
(Scene moves over to Andy Reid and Blake walking around)
Blake: So . .
Andy: So?
Blake: This whole empath thing . . is it new, or . .
Andy: I was always an empath.
Blake: Huh.
Andy: Why are you making such a big deal about this?
Blake: I'm not! Just always thought all you could do was mess with sound waves and stuff.
Andy: Well, that's how it started out, but it became a bit unstable afterward.
Blake: Okay. When this invasion of empaths comes, who's side are you going to be on?
Andy: Huh? What are you talking about?
Blake: Come on, Andy, I've known you forever. You're not the type to abandon their calling.
Andy: This isn't my calling, it's-
Blake: Even I know you can't escape your past and being. Trust me.
(Blake holds out a picture of himself and a younger boy. Blake hands it to Andy, who examines it, and
returns it)
Andy: You've never told me about him.
Blake: Eh, he was my brother.
Andy: I'm sorry.
Blake: (Stuffs the photo away) It's nothing.
(Vito walks to Andy)
Vito: Hey, Andy.
Andy: What's up?
Vito: Shouldn't we tell the Crimson Reaper about . .
Andy: About . . ?
Vito: (Whispers) Evan.
Andy: Evan . . oh your right! We should go tell him right now.
Blake: Ain't that red-coated bastard talking with Phearson and Malus?
Vito: I just saw Phearson talking to Jon earlier.
(Andy and Blake look at each other)
Andy: What is that psycho up to?
(Scene jumps to Phearson and Snack in a dark room. Snack stands there confused as Phearson smiles)
Phearson: You, I didn't sense much fear in you earlier when you stood up to me. I was totally
astonished! I couldn't tell if it was bold courage or sheer stupidity. But now . . (Phearson takes in a
whiff of the air) I smell fear and it smells nice . .
Snack: Of course, I'm scared. A creeper is telling me weird things in a dark room. Who wouldn't be
scared in this situation?
Phearson: (Cackles) I like you, kid! Which is why I want you to be my successor!
Snack: What do you mean?
Phearson: But you're powers are too undeveloped right now . .
Snack: Hey, what are you talking about?
Phearson: Don't fret, little flightless robin, for I will make you soar the heavens like an eagle . .
(Phearson grabs Snack's face. Phearson's shadows form a very dark figure and travel across
Phearson's arm towards Snack's head. Snack struggles, but his arms and legs are binded by other
shadows)
(Scene cuts to show Vito, Andy, and Blake meeting up with Ryan, Will, Sonia, and Oneshot)
Ryan: Hey, have you guys seen Phearson or Snack?
Andy: We were about to ask the same.
Oneshot: The master will be done when he is done.
Blake: If you haven't realized, your master is a walking nightmare!
Malus: Don't worry everyone!
(They all turn to see Malus sitting on a bench)
Malus: We are about to see the little bird take flight!
(Everyone stares at Malus in confusion, but soon turn their attention when they hear Snack screaming.
Phearson phases out of a wall. Not so long after, the wall breaks down with Snack coming out of it.
He is glowing red and in agony)
Snack: What did you to me!?
Ryan: Snack! Are you okay?
Snack: I'm not swell if that's what you're asking!
Andy: (To Phearson) What the hell did you do?
Phearson: It's all good and fun! Malus gave me permission!
(Andy looks at Malus who's attention is fixated on Snack)
Ryan: Snack, it's okay, I'll get help- woah!
(All of the sudden, a large glowing red spike-shaped substance extends from the red glowing outline of
Snack's arm. The blade pierces the ground and a tree as Snack drags his arm around. Snack continues
to rage out of control as more spikes seem to protrude from him)
Phearson: Okay, now things seem to get out of control . . he's your responsibility, do something about
it.
(Malus groans as he gets up. He walks straight at Snack without flinching at the red spikes zipping fast
him. One even manages to make a small cut on his cheek. Malus grabs Snack's head and clenches it.
The red spikes stop their movement and zip back into Snack. Snack eventually stops glowing red and
simply reverts to normal. He then passes out)
Malus: Well . . that was fun!

(Scene transits to the two Sylar punks taken away by the security guards in the bus parking lot. Todd
inspects them as Lynne bandages up Damien's bleeding head)
Lynne: Jeez, all this blood is disgusting.
Damien: Well if you had saved me earlier, maybe you wouldn't have to deal with a lot of blood, or any
blood for that matter!
Lynne: Hey, I still saved you, didn't I?
(Lynne finishes up the bandages)
Lynne: There!
(Lynne then walks away)
Damien: Where are you going?
Lynne: Back to the convention.
Damien: You know it's a trap, right? We came all the way here to rescue you from Glace. Something
is not right with that kid.
Lynne: Stop with the lies.
Damien: Why would we lie?
Lynne: Hmm, I don't know, maybe it's because you don't want me with Glace?
Damien: I could care less if you were together with him or not. I don't want you ending up in the
hands with a psycho, however.
Lynne: Or maybe it's 'cuz you still like me.
(Lynne continues to walk off)
Damien: What!? That's completely ridiculous!
Lynne: Is it!?
Damien: Yes. It is.
(Lynne remains where she is and stays silent)
Damien: Look. I know you don't trust me ever since I killed your family, but you trusted me more
than anyone in the world before all that.
Lynne: First you belittle Julie's name and now my family's!?
(Lynne stomps off as Damien stands speechless. All of the sudden, Todd intervenes Lynne's path.
Lynne pushes past him, but Todd grabs her arm. She tries to pull away, but Todd pulls her towards
him)
Todd: You can do whatever you want. But we're still going to keep a close eye on you. And when
you're in trouble, and we know you will be . . we'll be there.
(Todd hands Lynne the sheathed sword. Lynne stares at it, hesitates to grab it, and then refuses. Todd
let's go of her and she walks out of the parking lot. Todd pulls Damien up and they both go after her)
Damien: Not gonna lie, Todd. That was well said. Pretty badass.
Todd: Really?

(Scene jumps to Lynne, Todd and Damien walking through the convention panel areas outside only to
meet a huge crowd)
Todd: What's with the crowd?
Lynne: Probably some demonstration, stick around if you want.
Damien: This doesn't look like a demonstration . . look!
(Damien points up at a huge television screen that everyone is staring at. On the screen is a fuzzy
reception of an unclear figure. Todd and Lynne look at the screen in confusion. Scene jumps to show
Glace at another television screen at another part of the convention. All the other televisions show the
same buzzing screen. Scene skips over to Evan focusing on a cat that is moving around a room. The
cat leaps at a bird flying, but is distracted by the sudden buzzing reception the television got as
Raphael was watching it. As Evan loses focus, the cat and bird suddenly morph into glass vases, fall,
and shatter to the ground. Evan turns to Raphael who simply looks at the television and calls someone
on his phone)
Raphael: This is Raphael. You're electro-magnetism is flawless. Why am I getting a bad reception? . .
. it's not only me? . . . no control? What do you mean?
Evan: Mr. Rosario, look!
(Raphael puts the phone down and looks at the television screen. The scene skips again to show
Crimson Reaper, Vito, Andy, Blake, Sonia, Will, Phearson, and Oneshot together in a room watching
the television, which has the same buzzing screen. Scene moves along and shows Ryan and Malus
watching the television as they stand by a catatonic Snack, who is lying in bed. The television screen
clears up for everyone who is watching)
Malus: Hey, isn't that . .
Ryan: What is he doing?
(On the television screen is Amadeus)
Amadeus: My name is Amadeus, the beloved one. God has told me my new calling. And so I
announce to the world our existence.
(Back in the board room, Andy and Blake look at each other in confusion. Phearson simply ponders.
Vito looks at the screen with seriousness. Crimson Reaper remains silent, while the others chatter
amongst themselves)
(Back with Lynne, Todd and Damien, the crowd around them all talk)
Amadeus: We are God's army on this earthly world. For the true heaven relies within our realm, but
we simply can not comprehend it. My followers and I have gathered for the common purpose: to bring
God down to his rightful throne on the heaven we have christened Earth!
Todd: Haven't we seen him before?
Lynne: Yeah . .
Damien: Who is this joker?
(Scene moves to Evan and Raphael)
Evan: Oh! He's Amadeus! He's just like the masked NPC in the game!
(Evan takes out his iPhone and looks up the virtual Amadeus's stats)
Raphael: Much interesting characters await us on the shore . .
(The camera on the screen moves along and shows Cronus smiling. Jaelyn stands there as well, with
other prominent looking characters. Wesley tries to hide his face from the screen)
Amadeus: We challenge the world for God's glory! We can not be defeated. We can not be contained.
We can not be killed. But we can be victorious! All are welcome to our community! The poor, the
weak, the misunderstood, the wronged, all who side with us shall be blessed with justice!
(Phearson laughs while watching the screen)
Phearson: He's a real character! He's got that spark, that charisma! I can't wait to see him screaming
in agony and dieing!
Andy: Hey, boss, what do you think of this?
Crimson Reaper: . . .
Vito: Huh? That's . .
(Vito sees Jaelyn on the screen)
Blake: Know her?
Vito: Yeah.
(On the screen, Amadeus holds his fist into the air)
Amadeus: World! Think of us what you will! We are your rebellion! Obstructing us is futile! And
now you, the world, stand there mystified: to whom do we address the oncoming revival? This
inevitable onset? Remember world, and remember well! Carve into your memories our name: We are
the Sovereigns!
(A huge crowd of cheers and shouts can be heard on the television. Amadeus raises his arms to the sky
as the crowd's praise enlighten him. Everyone who watches show mixed reactions)
