Kara looks at Ben, Ben looks at N, N looks at his hands
"When i showed you the future, i saw the future that is planned for you, Zane. By letting you come along with us...it'll be the start of the end"
N offers his hand toward Zane
"Welcome"
Zane shakes his hand
-New York City-
"WELL I'M SORRY I CAN'T BE LIKE YOUR PREIOUS GOLDEN BOY AND BE NORMAL, MOM...THIS IS WHO I AM..."
Drake Carter, 17 with blond hair and blue eyes, he throws his clothes into his backpack while his parents stand at the doorway, mom in tears and the dad is furious.
"F**kin Rook"
Drake looks at his father, he stops what he's doing and takes the dogtag around his neck off, It reads his father's name
"Sorry i couldn't be normal, sorry i'm such a disappointment...I love you guys but if this is how i'm going to get treated then i guess i better be on my own"
He throws it at his father an in a blink of an eye Drake and his backpack are gone, Drake has the ability to teleport. He reappears outside his apartment building with nobody nearby. He starts to run down the sidewalk

Zane turns around. He faces the sun. He appears to be staring at it. He turns his head back toward N, keeping his body toward the sun.
Well. What now?

N smiles with his lips, Ben is in his car with one foot out, hands on the wheels, Kara crossed her arms while staring at N, N Stares at Zane
"We eat"
-20 minutes later-
The car is packed, Ben drives, Kara is in the front seat, N and Zane are in the back
"Around 7 o'clock is when they officially start looking for us but i'm sure by now that word by mouth has gotten out so Ben...You need to ditch the car"
"What? This car has all my memories in it. My first kiss, my first hand date, my first discovery of powers"
The sadness was slightly hinted in his voice but soon understood, He nods shortly then turns into a laundry mat. Everyone gets out, the place is packed, N looks over at Ben
"Ben, Me and You will find a new car, Kara, Head inside and steal some clothes, Zane..."
N eyes Zane's clothes
"Stand in the alley until we get you, we could use alittle less distraction"
"You want me to get the clothes cause i'm a girl isn't it?"
"No cause you can steal without people freaking out"
N and Ben walk off, Kara puts her hands to her hips
"They'll still freak out...."
She yells at them
"after...it wears off"
Kara looks at Zane
"Zane, Honestly...It's like 100 degree's out, put something alittle less...warm on"
Kara walks off, Nick and Ben walk into a TARGET parking lot. Car searching
"Benjamin...I didn't get your last name"
N randomly says, Ben looks over at N and smiles
"Valentine, Benjamin Valentine...Stupid i know"
"Well it beats my name"
N says, Ben looks at all the cars ahead of him
"N is pretty cool"
"Hey..Look!"
N points, Ben sees nothing, Ben tries focusing and sees nothing still, N walks over to behind a maroon van, Ben walks over when N quickly grabs Ben by the collar and pins him against the van
"I've seen alot of Kara's future and not once were you in it...Who the hell are you?"
Ben is caught off guard but he listens to N
"Like i'm the only one keeping secrets, Don't play stupid and act like i don't know why you like to be called 'N'"
N released Ben
"Listen, i know nothing about you, i work for nobody and i'm a nobody okay, I'm a rook who was hiding and now i'm out and it sucks. I know your name because i did my research on you awhile back..."
"Research?"
"I don't know...I thought you were like me and i needed to know someone was out there like myself but all i found was just the fact your name is Nano which is...weird"
N looked down, the name brought back terrible memories
"I'm sorry..."
N apologized, Ben fixed his shirt when Kara and Zane walk up, N walks off, Ben joins Kara and Zane
"You just lied to him didn't you?"
Ben is quiet, He looks at Kara then back at N, who walks off by himself
"Yes"
They found a car, took it and drove off...everyone was quiet, nobody spoke, Kara sat in front with Ben who drove, N sat in the back, forehead against the window as he stared at the passing buildings
"N, Where we going?"
"Nick"
"What?"
Kara questioned
"Call me Nick, N is getting annoying"
Kara smiled, she was finally but slowing getting let into Nick's private world
"Okay, Nick...Where we going?"
"...New York"
Nick said then resumed staring out the window
"May i ask what's in New York?"
"Chess"
"So we're going to New York for Chess?"
"You'll see!"

Zane listened to all of this. He was confused by Nick and Kara's show of emotion. He had never seen anything like it so up close. The car came up to a small town in Jersey.
"Stop the car."
"Why? What do you need from here?"
"Now I do believe that's my business. Stop the car."
Ben parks the car. Zane exits and walks into a nearby clothing store. Screams are heard and Zane exits. Wearing a leather vest, red shirt, and black jeans. The only thing left of his old outfit was his mask, which stayed on his face, untouched. His hair began to flow with the breeze. He enters the car.
"Alright. We can leave now."

Ben speeds off, Nick looks over at Zane
"Sometimes your past can be seen in the future, like pictures being shown through a dirty glass. They'll flash to me during a vision or whatever...When i saw your future, i saw some of your past"
Zane is quiet
"Which means i know some of your history...with that mask"
Kara felt an emotion coming from Zane, a feeling she's never felt before, the same feeling she felt when she thought they were being followed
"I've never seen your face but i know that mask means alot to you, I won't ask you to remove it or even ask for you to tell us your story but i guess we never really apologized for earlier"
Kara looks over the seat
"N..I mean Nick is right...We thought you were trying to kill us and you just got caught up in there, I'm sorry"
"Same here Zane"
Ben apologizes, Nick smiles but the smile comes to an end as he gets a quick pain down his spine, a moan escapes Nick, Kara looks over and sees Nick's face in pain
"N, What is it!?"
"Stop...The.."
Ben quickly stopped the car when suddenly a boy appears out of thin air right in front of the car, about 3 inches are between them. Drake is breathing heavy, as if teleporting was hurting him, the pain leaves Nick's body
"What happening? N, What is happening?"
Nick opens his door
"It's Nick"
Nick gets out, holding his chest
"I'm...I'm sorry! I..."
"It's okay, I'm Nick, This is Kara, Benjamin and Zane"
"Um hello, Drake Carter...So wait...You guys aren't totally freaking out?...I mean i just teleported in front of your car"
Nick smiles, Kara chuckles and Ben leans against his car
"Well i can see the future, Ben can control fire..."
"And create it"
"And Kara can...well knows what others are feeling and change them"
Drake slowly smiles, filling so many emotions
"This...is...frakkin awesome!"
Drake gets all happy, Nick smiles with his lips

And I'm assuming you just forgot about me.
Zane walks over.
I'm Zane. I know you're going to ask so, I might as well tell you. I can use shadows in ways you couldn't even imagine.
Zane sticks out his hand.
Writer's Note: I know you're curious Nick. Zane's mask hides his face for a reason. He has one more power. Whoever sees his eyes, both of them, dies. Just wanted to keep you in the loop.

(Mind was in a different place when i was writing this, totally forgot about your character, sorry. Thanks for keeping me in the loop)
Nick looks around, they were in New Jersey. The weather was cold, sky was grey but Nick got a feeling, it was strange. Kara felt it seconds after Nick did
"Nick, You alright?"
A bolt of lightning breaks through the sky, Nick looks at everyone
"Everyone follow me, Ben get in the car and follow me"
Ben nods, quickly going around the car and getting in it. Nick walks off and everyone follows. They're in a quiet neighborhood, a route you don't usually take when in Jersey, they walked toward an old abandon warehouse named 'Public 13" they walked in, inside was nothing but broken walls, different floor levels and a silence that would make a scary movie feel at home. The building was old which is why it made it worse. Everyone walks inside while Ben hides the car in the back
"You guys know how to make me feel welcomed"
Drake sarcastically says, N looks at Drake
"It's either hide here or let them find us"
Nick explains, Drake confused, he looks over at Kara
"We pissed off alot of people"
She says starting to laugh, Nick isn't
"I'm not worried about people...I'm worried about The Knights"
Kara stops laughing
"Wait, There are other people after us?"
Nick finds what looks like a conference room, it's destroyed but it has four walls and a door so it was safe, Ben caught up with them
"It's the job of The Knights to destroy Rooks like us, We're all apart of a greater game...a game the would like to win"
"They? The Knights?"
Drake asks, Nick takes a seat on the ground, another crack of lightning makes rain pour from the sky, Ben snaps his finger and a small fire appears on the floor next to Nick
"No, Chess, You thought the U.S organization was secretive and was full of resource and money. Chess are full of Kings and Queens, They're names are letter and numbers...They believe in one thing and one thing only....Power. They believe you can destroy power with power, win wars with power, even change people with power so when kids are appearing with actual power they changed their strategy and decide we're the biggest threat out there. Chess are a group of evil son of a bitches...and we've made a scene and they'll not going to stop until we're caught and killed"
Nick is quiet, everyone else has taken a seat, Drake stands
"Then if you guys are being hunted down then i think i'll find another group"
"Wait!"
Drake stands there, holding his backpack. Nick walks up to him and grabs his wrist, suddenly Drake's future with clips from his past are revealed to Nick, making the pain worse and worse the longer he held on. Nick releases Drake
"What the hell!"
Nick holds his chest, the pain didn't have an end
"It's to late...your apart of this"
Ben steps up
"We'll bunk here for the night, in the morning we'll think of another plan, Kara will you come with me, we need to talk"
Kara gets up and follows Ben

Zane stands outside Public 13. He had stayed outside. He walked around the city, looking at all the people. It was Winter, everyone was happy to be indoors. Zane stared at them. As a Bishop, he was trained to abandon emotion to be a killer. He began to walk back to the Public 13. Suddenly, he was stopped by a boy. About 14.
"Who are you?"
Your creator.
Awesome offscreen scene that will be explained in the future.[/i][/u]

Kara and Ben are in the back of the building, watching the rain as a nearby fire keeps them warm
"So...What did you want to talk to me about?"
Ben is quiet, Wearing the new clothes that Kara stole changed his look, he wore a more business type suit. A grey suit jacket with suit pants, his hair had been cut on one of their pit stops before arriving to New Jersey. It wasn't long and curly but more short and spiky. He threw rocks outside, Kara wore a tight white shirt with a orange vest over it then she wore jean blue skinny jeans. She sat on the other side of the fire, Ben looked at Kara
"I trust you...and i know it's not you doing that"
Kara chuckles, Ben chuckles as well
"That's why i must tell you the truth...about Nick and The Knights"
"What are you talking about?"
Kara's face become focused, more focused on Ben
"First off...I know you can sense my feelings and everytime i'm near Nick...I'm..."
"Love...I noticed that awhile back"
Ben nods, there's a silence
"But i also know it's the same feeling you feel for him, You care about Nick alot so i won't do anything"
"N..Nick! is like a brother to me...It's a different love
She lied, Ben nods, still letting the awkward silence fill the room
"And about The Knights..."
"What about them?"
Ben looks up at Kara
"I'm one of them"

Zane lunges at Ben. He has a sword in his hand. Ben blocks Zane and pushes him back. Zane stays with his sword ready
Knight. State your business or die at the hand of your superior

Ben smirks, Kara opens her palms in her pockets, secretly trying to calm them down but some abilities didn't work against others with abilities. Benjamin took his coat off and stared at Zane
"Zane, I'm not going to fight you...you can attack all you want, your just wasting time. You were Chess' little lap dog, they ask and you do. Wasn't it just alittle odd that when you cut the chain that didn't react. You are partly responsable for why they're after us"
"And your the rest?"
Nick stood there with Drake, Drake stood there, watching while Nick was ahead of him, arms down, face angry
"You talk like you know Chess...Ben, Got something to say?"
Ben was quiet as he store down, Kara walked up to Nick
"It's not what you think Nick, Ben is different...Ben is helping us"
"No, He's not...HE'S USING US!"
Nick yells toward Ben while Kara looked away
"You see Kara, It was all an act from the beginning, as for you Zane...You are a great part of this, like i said when you joined us is when it started, that so happen Ben also joined us that day. Why is it that i've seen my own death, the end of the world and i've even seen glimpses into your future and past and why is it you always surprise me"
Nick is quiet, everyone is
"I think it be best if we split from here...Ben, Zane...Don't follow me!"
Nick walks off, Drake follows Nick
"What about me?"
Nick stops, all he does his move his index finger and Drake grabs his backpack and follows Nick as they walk off, Kara is in tears as Ben walks by
"Ben, listen..."
"Don't talk to me"
Ben walks right past her

A shadow blocks the door for Ben
"You're not leaving that easily. I know what's going to happen. I'm not letting you go.
Zane's voice rang with his rage. Things were happening exactly like the creator said they would. He reached for his mask, and pulled it off. Revealing a beautiful face, with red eyes as evil as hell itself. Looking into them meant instant death from fear.
Now are you going to fight. Or am I going to have to prevent the future by killing you?!

Drake tries to keep up with Nick
"You can't just leave them...They'll fight and kill themselves"
"You think i honestly care?"
Nick stops walking, the rain instantly soaks Nick and Drake. Nick sighs
"Stand still"
"What? Why?"
"I need to do something that's gonna kick my ass, ready?"
Drake puts his backpack on then nods, prepared. Nick takes a deep breath with a quick strike, he grips Drake's face and are gone in a flash.
Meanwhile
Kara stands there, not moving, letting the recent event reply in her head. Ben stops at the blockage. He turns around and reaches into his coat, pulling out a small staff, all metal with black tips, Ben doesn't look at Zane, he presses a small button on the handle, sending out a white chain that wraps around Zane.
"You see Zane...Chess was one move ahead of you, they created this 'leash' for you, every agent has one and it only has affect on you"
Zane struggles to get out, Ben walks up to the fallen mask
"This is done, Okay Zane...I'm not apart of Chess anymore and neither or you...instead of fighting, you should be finding away to destroy them"
Ben presses the button again and the glowing white chain goes back into the metal staff, Ben puts it back in his coat, He throws the mask back at Zane
"Listen I'm sorry i didn't tell you guys but if i rescued you guys and told you i was working for a group of people who hated us then even i would be confused. I'm sorry but...i'm tired of lying"
Something in that sentence made Benjamin realize something, The blockage was gone. Ben ran outside to catch up with Nick, even running in the rain, getting soaked
"Nick, I..."
He stopped and sees nothing but a black ground where they teleported
"Chess!"
Ben makes a grip, eyes narrowing
"THIS...ENDS...NOW!"
Ben yells, eyes becoming orange, flames roar out from his mouth as his skin begins to glow to a bright orange then it returns to normal. Ben is on his knees, breathing heavy

Zane smashes the mask under his foot. Instead, he reaches into his pocket and pull out a headband. He ties it around his eyes. He turns to Kara
Come on. I'm going to tell you everything.
Tactics will return after this commercial break. By which i mean i'm going to do some stuff while I wait for Nick to post, then get a snack and post my side of the story.

Nick and Drake will be M.I.A for awhile but when they come back, it's important that their story is told. not involving other characters
Ben gets up, he looks over his shoulder where Zane and Kara stand
"We're going to New York!"
Benjamin spoke in a deep voice

"As little as I trust you. Sure. But let me finish talking to Kara."
Ben began walking toward them, he is stopped by Zane saying...
"ALONE."
Ben backs off. Zane pulls Kara to the side. Telling her the story the creator told him
(I'll put up the story for you later. When Nick (character) gets back into the action)

Kara wipes the tears
"Zane, I'm not mad at you if that's where your getting at?"
Ben poked his head in the doorway
"Zane, I know you wanted to talk to her but can i...just say a few things before you tell her a story that sounds like could just go on like a bad joke?"

Post by zane on Feb 16, 2010 6:14:42 GMT -6
This "bad joke" was told to me by one of the creators of our world. So if you'd like to interrupt, make it wait.

-February 10, 2010-
Nick and Drake reappear on a dark street, Nick falls on his knees while, Drake steps back
"OUCH! what the hell! if-i-knew-it-was-gonna-be-that-painful-then"
Drake's words came out all together, hard to understand. Nick looked around, he knew where he was. Drake noticed the red tint to the world, it was like things weren't clear and clean but red, like looking through red tint glasses. Drake looked around with Nick, they saw destroyed buildings, cars on fire as while as blood, it covered windows and sidewalks, no bodies were seen...the only feeling your left with was a guilt feeling
"You teleported us into the future didn't you?"
Drake knew the answer but it felt like he need to say it, Nick nods
"Yup"
"Perfect"
-Meanwhile, In The Present-
"Zane, I thank you for opening up to me, it takes alot to do that"
Kara touches Zane's upperarm and smiles, Ben walks up
"Listen...I'm sorry, I truly am...I was mad at myself and you didn't need to be caught in the middle. I hope you can forgiv..."
Kara puts her finger on his lips
"You talk to much, come on...we gotta go help Nick and Drake"
Ben smiles and nods

Let's Keep This Going!
Nick and Drake walk around the destroyed area, It's chaotic, the events of what happened are a mystery yet they tell a horrible story. Nick picks up a destroyed teddy bear, Drake looks down at Nick as he does so
"How did things get like this?"
Nick stands up, leaving the teddy bear on the street
"All the events are hazy to me but all i do know is that war broke out and Rooks and Innocent People were killed along with me"
Drake stood there for a second, trying to understand everything
"So your dead? Not you but future you is dead and that...that doesn't bother you?"
Nick looks at Drake and shrugs
"No, Not really? Why?"
Suddenly there's a crash, a trash can falls over, Nick and Drake look in the direction down the street and a group of survivors, they wore pretty much nothing. Tribal look to them, black marks from oil for other it's paint, they were dirty, their skin covered in dirty and much but the tribal tattoos made them some how exotic and beautiful. The man that lead them was strong, he carried a staff that past his height, he wore a white paint on him, his arms and chest were poped out, muscles were threatening, Drake gets pale and Nick doesn't move
"Do we run?"
The leader hits the staff against the ground once and the group breaks out running toward them.
"Yes"
Nick grabs Drake's sleeve, pulling him toward a nearby building that had to be about 30 stories high. The leader stood there, watching with an narrow expression
