Tony sighed.
"I really liked that hoodie" although he liked the hoodie, he loved showing off his new muscles.
Natasha, Drake, Felix and Iris emerged from their hiding. Tony turned to look at them.
"Oh. Hi!"
"Who are you?" Natasha asked, squinting. She couldn't read his mind, so she couldn't completely trust him. Because only other telepaths could resist her mind reading and this boy wasn't a telepath one bit because of the strength he displayed.
"I'm Tony. Tony Blackhart"
Felix brought up all the files on MHF on a hologram and input Tony's name.
"HUH?! Deceased??" Tony's files showed that he had died.
"Oh yes! Appatrently I'm an undead" Tony said, smiling nervously.
' why am I being so nice? ' he had no idea that undead were very rare and a top universal secret.
"I'm Natasha Mammon"
RING!!
A bell rang in Tony's head.
' isn't Lord Mamon the demon of greed? '
"OH! You're Natasha, the demon Doctor Iris was talking about?" Tony blurted out.
"Huh?" Drake, Iris and Felix said together.
Felix immediatly typed in her name, and a large hologram displaying all her information at MHF popped up.
"No wonder your powers are so many, and the array....that explains why the array doesn't work on you!" Drake said. He had heard about the existence of demons and angels from his mother, but he never really took it to heart. Now he wished he at least believed her before she died.
"I'm Felix Walker" Felix said and a hologram containing all his information apperared.
' a cyborg. 22 years old. Nice ' Tony noted.
"Drake McGregor" Drake said, puffing out his chest.
Another hologram screen popped up.
' a rare metal ability and super human strength. 23 years old ' Tony was interested.
I-Iris Kingston" Iris said, looking at the ground.
' water and ice manipulation! 21 years '
"Er..why does Natasha's info have nothing about her age?"
"I didn't disclose my age to the facility" Natasha bluntly replied.
But Tony could sense it. Ever since he evolved, or 'died', he had been able determine how long a person had lived in life. Not the exact age, roughly the same.
"You're over a hundred years old, aren't you? Like a hundred and twenty?" Tony asked, emotionlessly.
Natasha frowned. Who the hell was this guy? How did he know this?!
Felix, Drake and Iris turned to look at Natasha, astonishment and curiosity shining in their eyes.
Natasha sighed. "Yes. A hundred and twenty two"
Felix, Drake and Iris took in cold breaths. Natasha looked like someone their age. But she was actually older than even their grand parents?!
"Well! It was nice knowing you guys" Tony said. He signaled Drake and Drake threw him the orb. Then he turned around and began to make his way to the jet Doctor Iris told him about.
"Wait....!" Iris called out.
"HM?" Tony paused and turned around. "OH!" he exclaimed and pointed at the orb. "There are 12 of these things scattered all over the universe" Then he sighed helplessly. "The way I see it, it would either be a pain in the ass...or an adventure"
At the mere mention of adventure, their ears all perked up.
"Mind if we stick around?" Felix asked, acting like he wasn't really desperate. But he forgot abou Drake.
"YOU'RE GOING ON AN ADVENTURE?! YOU HAVE TO LET US COME WITH YOU! LET US SCOUR THE UNIVERSE!" Drake proclaimed, his fists raised up high.
"Please let us come with you..." Iris said, her blue eyes gleaming.
"Uh....sure. I don't mind" he examined them once again.
Natasha, a beautiful Spaniard with pale but flawless skin, slender with green hair and black eyes. Felix had most of his body covered, but his face which was visible was divided into two halves; robotic and human. Drake had short brown hair and brown eyes he had a decent build that gave him the feeling that he could tear through armies by himself. Iris, cute and adorable, with her blue hair and blue eyes and smooth jade like skin.
"I know the location of a ship not too far away from here. LET'S ROLL!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the planet known as "The Waste Land"
Two figures were effortlessly hiking across the blood red desert. The red sun was scorching hot and the sand burned with an intensity that made furnaces pale in comparison.
But despite that, the two figures were effortlessly hiking like they were taking a stroll. One was Lucia, the Demoness of destruction and the other was Ronove, the Demon of knowledge.
"How long are we going to trek for Ronove?" Lucia grumbled.
"Do you doubt me child?" Ronove said and chuckled helplessly.
Lucia once more analyzed the demon before her. He wore a blue robe and gripped an old twisted cane. His face on the other hand was perfectly flawed. He had a well chiseled nose, smooth lips, but he had no eyes. It wasn't like he was blind or anything. Where his eyes were supposed to be was just plain flesh. If she hadn't witnessed his powers first hand, she would never had agreed to be assisted by him.
"OH! Here we are!" Ronove exclaimed as he used his cane to mark a large 'X' on the ground. "Do what you do best, Lucia"
Lucia just snorted. She crouched down and lightly punched the ground.
BOOM!
The ground crumbled away and the debris flew out to space. If someone was to look at the planet from afar, they would notice that the planet which was once a full circle now had a quarter of it destroyed, vanished.
"HM. The power of destruction" Ronove sighed as he dipped his hand into the ground and brought out a pulsating black orb.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Felix was in the cockpit of the new jet: the falcon-29.
It was most suitable for short and quick transport. But for long voyages, it was the worst. This one in particular had been modified to have more space inside, probably to hold large beasts. While Felix was in the cockpit, surrounded by countless holograms and trying to get accustomed to the new jet controls, the rest were sitting in a circle, playing cards.
"Ah...I've never been good at playing cards anyway" Tony said as he dropped his cards and stood up. He was eliminated. "Yo Felix!" He suddenly called out as he headed to the cockpit. He had noticed his new change of character. He was now confident and fearless. In his school days, he was mostly timid because he was always bullied around and no one wanted to be friends with him. Why? Because he was born without an ability. Although it was not a new thing, but the children of his generation had all been born with abilities. The older generation had a 70-30 ratio. 70% having abilities and 30% having no ability. But his generation had a 99.2-0.8 ratio. Unfortunately for him, he was part of the 0.8% that had been born without any ability. But now, with his new undead powers and all, he was now more confident and used this opportunity to make the friends he never had the courage to even approach. He didn't know how or why he suddenly had these powers, but right now he cared little for that. His top priority now was finding the orbs, going to the Sunborns and saving Doctor Iris. But he was confident that his new powers had something to do with his parents. It was passed down! But with his mother dead, he had to find his father. But that was now a secondary matter.
"huh?"
"Do you have access to all data bases?"
"So far, yes!"
"I need you to find anything you can on this" Tony said. Then he threw the white orb to Felix.
Felix caught it and scanned it immediately and began to work.
Tony on the other hand went to a corner in the room and sat down cross-legged.
"OK Charons! Ready or not, here I come"
