Heroes Uprising Part 12

William: A friend...of both you and me

---

"Harry as explained things to Amber, about what happened"

Harry: So, this is what I want...a time bomb. I want you to place a single spell that will repair my powers if I chose to activate it...but will burn down and deactivate after one use.
Amber: Why would you...want that?
Harry: Because I'm about to stick my neck into SXM business
Amber: Then why don't I just repair your powers fully...I can easily do so
Harry: No...I'm paying a price, and there's only one person that can fix my head...no, I have to force him to fix my head.
Amber: Oh...so he's alive
Harry: Yeah...don't tell anyone for now, because I'm not sure if I can bring him back
Amber: Alright...your choice. I can do a spell like that...your being overly prideful though
Harry: Sorry...but I know it's selfish but I seriously have a feeling I'll need this...It's cheating, but at the same time, I had no plans to return until I forced him to fix my head. If he could, so long as I would make him acknowledge he should, then I could have someone fix it. But I need my full powers...even if it's just one single burst

*Sandra, Dave, and Kiya appear near William and Katy.*

Katy: Who... did they just appear out of nowhere?
Sandra: Huh... she don't so much as remember about powers. What happened to her.
Dave: Katy, do you remember what your power is?
Katy: My... power..?
Sandra: She doesn't remember anything... Kiya said you requested my help William.

William: We...need a telepath. The damage doesn't seem to be fixable through my end, so maybe you...

----

"Yamairo is waiting outside. Isabel and James are inside the building waiting. They've chosen an old abandoned apartment building to meet Dale. Bernard joins him for no reason"

Yamairo: Oi Bernard
Hunter: I'd prefer if you called me Hunter.
Yamairo: Whatever...he isn't here yet
Hunter: What will you do when you can't put off killing Milo anymore?

"Yamairo looks at him. He came out with the question without hesitation"

Yamairo: I won't let go of my ideals and morals. Our powers are not for killing, they are for protecting...whoever it may be
Hunter: I see...you can't protect everyone though
Yamairo: I can try. At the cost of my life, but I can try
Hunter: That is rather...hypocritical

"Yamairo looks at him again"

Sandra: You think a telepath is behind this?

*Sandra quickly checks out Katy for any detection of a telepath being at work.*

Sandra: Her memories are not suppressed. If a telepath is behind this, I can't pick up any signal. But from her memories, it seems she remembers nothing past a little while ago.

*Not long after Luke comes in.*

Luke: Oh good, finally found someone. It's Troy again.
Sandra: Troy... William, I'll go talk to Troy.
Katie: That won't be necessary.
Dave: Huh, who are...
Sandra: Troy's mother. You was brought here with Katy.
Katie: I feel terrible about this, it's my fault this happened for getting Troy and Katy involved with Greg.

*Luke cuts in.*

Luke: Sorry to interrupt, but Troy sounds pissed enough, so I rather not keep him waiting. It seems he's requesting assistance to go after this Greg fellow. It's apparently him that did this to Katy.

William: Hmm...so it's medical. It's probably just a very huge extreme shock from what happened to her. Luke, make sure Troy keeps his cool

Luke: I'll try...

Dave: So what happened?
Katie: The one you guys know of as Greg, is able to control the temperature. He can make a area hot like the sun, or cold as sub zero temperatures within seconds. He used a attack on Katy, rapidly heating her up. She was in physical form when the attack started, but appeared to take her water state at the last split second, probably on survival instinct. He body got evaporated by the heat.
Sandra: Katy's body had been destroyed times before though. Hell, she unlocked her water state in the first place by having her body getting completely destroyed. This Greg fellow must have attacked Katy from the inside out, probably raising her body temperature immensely. By the time she shifted, the damage had already been done.
Katie: It took the girl a while to reform... we thought she was dead. When she did reform her body, she couldn't remember anything.

Above both Yamairo and Benard, on the rooftop of a neighboring building is Terrell perched on its ledge. The expression shown through his suit was one of no emotion. He had kept his thoughts simple upon spotting the two while he was aimlessly roaming the city. Yamairo being here meant that James probably wasn't too far.*

Venom Symbiote: Them? Hehehehe Your emotions are very mixed toward them. I don't sense hate, but rather envy.

Terrell: Hmm... That don't matter right now. I just want to know what they're doing. They look shady.

Venom: I thought they were the heroes...

Terrell: So. They're being too sketchy for me to just back off... I'll watch from here until I'm fou-

*Terrell's body soon camouflaged in seconds. He smiled under the suit.*

Terrell: Thanks.

*After a few minutes Luke returns.*

Luke: I tried William, but Troy's really steamed right now. I just spoke to Jacob, Troy has left to go after Greg.
Katie: No!! Greg's immune to temperature change, fire won't hurt him!!
Luke: Jacob is going after him, but asked if we could send some help their way.
Sandra: If anyone's going, I will. All I have to do is monitor Greg's thoughts, if he even thinks of trying anything like he did with Katy, I'll get outta there, though unless he has a telepath handy, their shouldn't be a problem in the first place. Or... would you rather I intercept Troy and stop him. Your choice William, whatever is the best course of action.

*Katy has just been sitting quietly, trying to understand what's going on and who everyone is.*

...............................

*Meanwhile Chulance has come across Tesla sleeping. He walks over, nudging her lightly on the shoulder to wake her.*

Chulance: Tesla... hey baby, wake up.
Tesla: *waking* Huh... what... *yawn*
Chulance: You feel asleep.
Tesla: I did... wait... I remember I was watching Zach, I must have dozed off.
Chulance: You seemed pretty solid asleep to me.
Tesla: Well that's not like me to just fall... wait... *looks around* Where's Zach... he was right here beside me.
Chulance: Hmm... I think I get what happened. Zach wanted you to fall asleep.

William: Get Troy. I want to hold off on getting Greg until we check with Yama

Sandra: Very well.

*Sandra quickly teleports away, and arrives in Troy's path, causing Troy to come to a stop.*

Troy: Sandra.
Sandra: Sorry Troy, but you need to cool it. We're not going after Greg, not yet.
Troy: Why the hell not!!?
Sandra: We want to get Yama's input first.
Troy: No way, I'm making that bastard pay for hurting Katy.
Sandra: Hey!! Do you want to take your chances of taking me on? Now lets go.

*Troy lets out a angered grunt, but backs down. On that moment Jacob catches up.*

Jacob: Damn boy, you don gone crazy.
Sandra: Relax, it's settled. Come with us back to Genosha.

*Sandra teleports the two back where William and the others are.*

William: Troy! I'd ask you to calm down next time...we need to talk to Yama before we do anything...but that said...if he doesn't come back in half an hour, I'm sending Sandra with you and we take him out

Troy: *mumble* Fine.
Jacob: You don got some temper there boy.
Troy: Whatever. Do, you know what's wrong with Katy?
Sandra: It's not telepathic.
Troy: So, you can help her right William?

(Guys, I already knew about James. Terrell doesn't, so post according to the situation.)

Jacob: Da doctor to da hospital says she'd gots Amnesia from an injury.
Sandra: Hospital.. the one you took her to before you brought her here.
Jacob: Ya.

.................................

*Meanwhile Kano has brought Tanya back to Genosha.*

Kano: It was a fun day wasn't it?
Tanya: That is was. Be sure to come visit again soon, or hell, I'll visit you.

*Kano gives Tanya a hug before teleporting off to Asgard.*

Tanya: I wonder if anythings going on.

(K then.)

"Suddenly, Yamairo takes a look directly are where Terrel is. Bernard follows"

Yamairo: Terrel...show yourself.
Hunter: That gem really is amazing isn't it

----

"Amber has finished with Harry and he leaves her house. As she closes the door, she finds one of the members of the Holy Trinity, Agamotto."

Amber: Before you even start
Agamotto: I'm not going to tell you anything about your methods. Your judgment comes later. However, we do request that you keep your hunt for Black Heart. He's been meddling in human affairs. We have decided we cannot let him be
Amber: Understood...I'll do it. Any means necessary

"Agamotto looks at her as if telling her her own demise will come"

Agamotto: Any means...necessary

"In the end, he follows his directives, and leaves"

Amber: Keeth...I'm sorry

"She vanishes"

*Troy has sat down by Katy, but no matter what he talks about, Katy doesn't seem to remember anything. This builds Troy's anger towards Greg, and he soon starts growing impatient.*

Troy: So... is there anything we can do for her, or not?

................................................

*After doing some looking around, Tanya meets up with Telsa and Chulance.*

Tanya: Hey guys.
Tesla: Hello. Where has you been?
Tanya: Out with Kano, it was really fun. You guys up to anything?
Tsla: I was suppose to be watching Zach but... looks like he slipped away.

William: She's in shock. Mental strain caused this. It will take time. I can't fix this sort of thing, and apparently, neither can Sandra...If Yama doesn't hurry back, I can't keep putting off going after that man

Troy: Damnit. I'll kill the fucking bastard for this.

*Sandra was glancing towards Troy, who noticed when he looked up.*

Troy: What? Are you inside my head, monitoring my thoughts. Right now, I don't give a shit Sandra.
Dave: Hey, Troy.
Sandra: It's alright Dave, let him be. William, if we go after this guy, what objective will you issue. Cause the way Troy is now, he may just finish this man off if given the chance.

William: Capture. With you there, it's no problem. I doubt he can handle a telepth. And even if he could, he can't handle you

Sandra: Understood. I took a quick look at Troy's thoughts, there is more to this then what happened to Katy. Personally, I don't blame him for being so angry towards this guy.
Troy: So when are we going?

William: Soon...don't worry

---

"Meanwhile, we find Amber looking around the Iliria mansion. There seems to be no one around. She slowly makes her way across the hallways"

Amber: If he's working with her...I'm getting to the bottom of this. I'm not going to be outwitted again

"As Amber keeps undetectability up, she comes upon the main hall, with the chair Iliria normally sits on, empty. The room is somewhat like a basement and has torches lighting it up. She enters the large, room, and almost immediately activates a barrier, getting blasted right in the face with a shock wave. Sitting in a chair just against the wall, not visible to the outside of the room, and with his hand outstretched, is Zin"

Zin: Well...well...well

Amber: Tsk...if I handed summoned that shield

Zin: Alright then...welcome to the mansion...state your business

----

"As they talk, Manny shows up in a thunderous commotion"

Manny: Sandra! What happened after ya left me behind!

Troy: Good.

*When Manny shows up.*

Sandra: Manny... well, I ended up spending some alone time with Dave... just going over events... *sigh* As if this damn day wasn't eventful enough, I found myself going to save Amber and others from Black Heart. Now, a good friend, Katy has lost her memories... and I have another quick mission coming up... just another day of being the phoenix I suppose...

*Sandra sits down, after a few silent seconds.*

Sandra: So... how are things on your end.

*Terrell scaled down the outside wall of the building he had been perched on top of, still remaining unseen to the human eye. He was about twenty feet above the ground before he jumped and landed on a parked car. His camouflage was gone as he looked at the two men in front of him. He casually took a seat on the now dented roof of the car.*

Terrell: Yama! Nice to see you man.

Venom Symbiote: Where's the telepath..?

Terrell: I didn't think Jamie would find me that quick... Anyway, how's SXM treating you?

Manny: Normal...I guess...wait...WHAT?! You did WHAT?! You went after that BH dude? Yama once told me about the guy! Are you insane
Sandra: It's not like I can't handle it
Manny: I don't care! Next time, I'm going! Wait what about water girl?
Sandra: She lost her memories...we can't do anything
Manny: How's fire boy takin' it?

"Amber and Zin stare off. Amber immediately cast a protective spell over her mind due to her working knowledge of Ren's powers"

Amber: He's most definitely around, given all the briefings I got. Now then

"She cracks her fists, and engages Zin without stopping, forming an energy bolt in her hand and firing it. Zin easily dodges and punches the air, causing a ripple effect. Amber brushes it aside with one wave of her hand, and"

Amber: Ice Tendrils of Ikthalon

"A freezing coating of ice is launched at Zin. Just as he's about to take a step back, flames engulf the attack"

Amber: I was going to make thi...no way

"At the door, opposite to the one Amber entered, is no other than Anna"

Amber: Anna...what the hell are you doing here
Anna: Damn it Amber, why now! I'd finally convinced Iliria and Zin I was on their side thanks to James and I was about to start investigating myself...fucking hell...

Zin: About time you got here...where's Ren?
Anna: He can't activate his powers on her.
Zin: Smart little sorceress we got here...ready to take her

"Amber and Anna don't take their eyes off each other, as if trying to get what the other is doing. Both of them keep it up, and finally, Anna and Zin lunge at Amber"

Anna: Leave! You picked it up right!
Amber: Your duty with the SXM is your duty! Mine is my own You've asked for this

"Amber starts to focus, and has she's about to get hit by both

Amber: Shield of the Seraphim!

"She creates an extra strong shield. Both Zin's pulse attack and Anna's energy attack get repelled easily, and then"

Amber: Crimson Bands of Cyttorak!

"She calls forth the crimson bands and binds both of them in place, as they become unable to move"

Amber: Now stay still...don't make me do anything else. I need to hurry and find something worth this trouble

---

Yama: Fine...how's Osborn and Venon treating you

"Yama makes no attempt to hide his enmity towards him."

"Inside, James is sighing"

James: Damn it...why did he have to show up now. Well, regardless this may be a golden chance to get a sleeper right in Osborn's secret team of whatever he's planning

*Terrell smirked underneath the suit at Yama's response.*

Terrell: Well it's much better than being held up in some cell or being a fugitive. This was probably the best choice. I even brought Riya back... nice and healthy. But listen, the only reason I was snoopin', was because you guys looked like you had something interesting going on. I could have ran when you called me out, but I gotta favor to ask you.
