Birth of a hero

  “The heroes of Earth unified to combat the threat of the rising Villains; this was the biggest unions of heroes in the history of ever. The champions of peace were a name that was respected from the Milky Way galaxy all the way to the world terminus. However the one called “Sha” decided to stay out of it, in her mind she felt she was too good for them, in her mind she felt she was too good for humanity…in her mind…she thinks she’s me!” “I’ll show her, how a REAL Ninjan behaves, I’LL SHOW HER!”

The young women’s eyes flashed red, however they were concealed by her eyelids, earth finally came into view. The proper trajectories had the ship landing in the Hudson River in New York; she didn’t have much longer until touchdown.  She didn’t know what to expect of this new world, but she knew it would be better than Ninjeta; that land had become the domain of a Ninjan God named Insominan, using his powers he removed the powers from every Ninjan; she too was once in that category that is until she left the planet. “He stripped her of her “Throne, and imprisoned her underneath the palace for years.

“We are Gods, chosen by God himself to save his people, not doing god’s will is a sin, and those who send are destined to spend an eternity in hell…But not Ninjans they don’t get to experience hell, they get to continue living unaware that hell even exist… Sha your existence is not suppose to be; I’ll replace you” The bright yellow sun crept up the front of the ship illuminating the body of the vessel and finally the glass that protected her face. Her sun sensitive clothes burned right off of her while undergoing the reentry process.

{Maya Lopez, Exist here too… this world is all wrong…Maya is a Ninjan she was supposed to be dead; there seems to be a almost Three Hundred Different people calling themselves…Sha, they’re not supposed to be like they are…they’re supposed to be human… but maybe their God has seen Sha’s imperfections and made them that way…yes…that’s what it is”}

“Hey junior move it, I’m walking heaaaaaaaaare!” an angry New Yorker hissed at a little boy, whom had bent down to tie his shoe. “Why don’t you do the smart thing…and go around me!”. “WHO ARE YOU GETTING SASSY WITH!!!!!!!!!!!”. “You ya geezer!” OMG LOOK!” A Woman broke their tension, screaming into the air and pointing her hands towards what appeared to be a gigantic fireball.   No one stood around they ran, away in terror; and rightfully so. The ship plowed right into the middle of Broad Street creating first a huge wave of debris. The dust from the impact pillowed through Manhattans Island, all the way to the boardwalks of New Jerusalem. There was sort of a hellfire uproar coming from the hole that was created. A little while after the impact zone calmed down and the curious New Yorkers began to glance down at the purple spaceship.

Ziicarra slowly began moving around injured from her unexpected landing; she quickly exited the ship looking around to see nothing but rocky walls. “Da Ka putz Nexum” (What the hell?) She strolled over to the walls feeling the sides of it; she then glanced up to see some odd eyes glancing down at her. Flying up the wall she landed in front of the whole city of New York fully exposed and live on TV. Turning around her blue eyes expanded at the site of the curious people; that and she was naked on every television in the city of New York.

“Dude…she must be Canadian…” someone from the crowd remarked. She scanned the crowd and picked out black women with an Afro.   She chose this woman because she looked like one of her former friends back on Ninjeta. “Kahn…U Heelp mesh?” She asked cocking her head to the side. The woman removed her coat and handed it to her, however the NYPD wasn’t letting anyone get close. “SOMEONE NOTIFY THE C.O.PS!”

New York. The place for a new beginning. The place to have a chance to become something. A place to see America at its glory. A place for SHOPPING! The secret notorious villain and beloved CEO, DaggerKlutz, was just exiting a very expensive clothing store with several large bags in each arm. He had a happy aura around him. What made him happier was the fact that the streets were actually empty, a pleasant change. It was so annoying to move through the crowded sidewalks. So many people were mean. One guy even pulled him into an ally and tried to sell DaggerKlutz a knife but asked for his entire wallet. DaggerKlutz said no but the guy wouldn't accept no. He even went as far as to bring the knife closer so DaggerKlutz could inspect its poor, cheap quality. Luckily a policeman came by and the terrible salesman ran away. He was probably a villain too. Just not a secret one.
 
A mass of people were gathered down the street. They were looking up at a floating girl who only wore a closed trench coat. A sly grin grew on DaggerKlutz's face as he devised an evil plan. This floating girl was obviously new to Earth. DaggerKlutz could manipulate the situation so Patrick Back becomes adored by the public and gain a new member in the Vine Syndicate. 
 
The Bad Badie pulled out a megaphone from one of his bag and spoke into it. "People of New York." Everyone took their eyes off Sha and looked over to DaggerKlutz, known to the public as Patrick Back. "Do not alarm yourselves. I, Patrick Back, will help out this woman and take care of the situation." Everyone seemed alright with the idea. She seemed harmless and Patrick Back has shown himself to be an outstanding member of America. Plus, he had equipment and connections that would help out the floating girl. He may even be able to make her a superhero. The crowd began to cheer for Patrick with their logic.
 
DaggerKlutz posed at the applause. This was definitely a good day. Then DaggerKlutz aimed his megaphone towards Sha and said, "Miss, will you please come with me so we can help you out. I promise that you'll be safe."

Azrael had gone with Dagger for some shopping in New York. Sadly while he knew where all the high quality stuff was, it also was not that appealing. She had found some nice formal black attire but that was it. By the time they hit the forth store she was out. She left and went to a music shop in the mall. Two hours later she had finished. "I hope Dagger doesn't mind that I spent 300$ on the card he gave me" she laughed as she started to exit the shopping center. 
 

That's when she saw something heading to the park, could of been anything from a meteor to Spectrum crashing she thought to herself. Whatever it was she knew it was worth looking into though. Blair took off in that direction. She contemplated flying over there but something told her smashing windows and bat wings wouldn't be the most subtle rout so she took a taxi. It was long boring and uneventful. The man kept blathering on about heroes and how they were needed. She lusted to burn him alive and end his blathering. She thought of a thousand and one ways to eliminate him and half a dozen others. "Where here" the driver said. The red haired vixen tossed a five and virtually jumped out of the car she couldn't take his goody two shoes discussion any longer. 

She arrived to find an interesting set of things. There was a crashed space ship, a floating blond girl wearing nothing then a coat, and there was Dagger doing his usual publicity act. I have got to get in on this she thought to herself. She quickly went into the restroom and changed into her new outfit. She posed herself, aiming to look like a secretary. She walked towards the bald evil man she called a boss and tried to come off as a sweet good individual. "Mr. Back is there anyone you would like me to notify or shall I simply aid you in making sure this woman gets all the attention she may require?" Blair's emerald eyes eager with any luck they soon would be building the roster of the Vine Syndicate to even grander standards.    

While the shuttle containing Sha hurtled towards Earth, the young superhero known as Eclipse was sitting on the ocean floor. Since becoming a member, and now one of the leaders of, the Champions of Peace, Eclipse suddenly had access to resources he couldn't imagine. During his younger years as a homeless superhero he survived through the charity of the citizens of Vine City. Later on in life he was funded by the circus he grew up in, then through the Vine Titans and Ice Dragons. But never did he have the money to do anything like this. Never did he have the funds to really exercise his ability to invent and innovate technology. On his 16th birthday his mentor Nighthunter gave Jason his own nano-suit. Now, having tinkered around with the tech and upgraded it using the resources at his command, Eclipse was able to walk around on the floor of the ocean. 
 
His ability to control gravity meant the pressure wouldn't kill him, and since tinkering with the suit he had made it so the nano-bots could store oxygen. Also he added the function of harnessing the oxygen molecules in water and converting them into breathable air. 'So now I can wander around down here infinitely.' Eclipse grinned, opening his mouth and blowing out a few bubbles as he watched them sail up towards the surface. Which was something he couldn't even see, he was so far down. 'Hmm... If the nano-bots store oxygen now...' Jason thought, scratching his nose. 'Then I should be able to survive in outer-space... Sure, only for a limited time, but... That's something I have to try out!' And so, reaching up to the sky with his hand, the Teen Wonder set a gravity anchor, which yanked him upwards and pulled him through the water. Before long he had broken through the surface of the ocean, but he didn't stop there. Rocketing through the air, it wasn't long before he was above the clouds, bathing in the unfiltered sunlight. Eclipse still didn't stop. Going further and faster than ever before, Jason burst through the atmosphere of Earth. 
 
'Whoah.' Eclipse wobbled, holding a hand to his mouth as he resisted the urge to puke. 'Okay, not going to get used to doing that easily.' Shaking his head like a dog, the Champion of Peace examined his surroundings. The weird thing was... He didn't really have any surroundings. The Earth was behind him, but other than that... Nothing. The vast nothing-ness of space. Still, the Earth looked pretty awesome from where Eclipse was floating. Suddenly, in the corner of his eye, Jason noticed something... Something flying through space that interrupted the view of nothing. Intrigued by this phenomenon, the Son of Destiny set a course towards it, enjoying the feeling of flying through a vacuum. Free from the power of the wind and even sounds, it was peaceful. Eventually Eclipse noticed that his target was also moving, heading towards Earth. Flying even faster, Jason was now starting to get worried. 
 
The shuttle broke through the atmosphere before Eclipse was close enough to do anything. By the time Jason caught up, it had plowed into the ground and a large crowd had gathered around. Breathing in the cool, natural air with a sigh of relief, the Teen Wonder was about to go down and investigate (it was his duty as a hero) when someone emerged from the shuttle. It was a young girl. A very naked young girl. Eclipse covered his eyes with a hand, so he wouldn't stare. "Ouch." He said, having noticed the large number of cameras in the area. Once he had looked again, the sympathetic look on Jason's face turned to disgust and anger. The young lady now wore a coat, but that wasn't what was aggravating the young hero. DaggerKlutz had arrived. 
 
DaggerKlutz was the arch-enemy of Eclipse, he had been ever since the Klutz took over the world with mind control. Unfortunately, though Jason ended this domination, no-one else on Earth had any idea that the event ever took place. And as it turned out, the entire thing was meant to be a distraction so the villain could obtain materials for his new base. Jason had hunted high and low for this new headquarters, but to no avail. While he had been keeping close tabs on Patrick Back, DaggerKlutz hadn't made many public moves recently. Patrick Back was Dagger's civilian identity and the reason Eclipse couldn't accuse the villain of anything. Back was a respected and influential man. As one of the Trinity in the Champions of Peace, people trusted Eclipse, but they trusted Patrick equally. Now the leader of the Vine Syndicate was using a megaphone to take charge of the situation, speaking directly to the girl while flanked by his 'secretary'. 
 
Then Eclipse had an idea. He couldn't fly down there and engage Patrick Back in combat, but the villain was suggesting that the strange girl should go with him. No doubt he would take her to his Vine Syndicate headquarters! It was an oppurtunity that couldn't be missed. Jason would obviously step in if the villain tried to influence this stranger too much, but for now he would follow at a distance and watch.

Longshot went from rooftop to rooftop, his stride more casual then a jump. He was fast, athletic. He watched over New York, one of the most crime-ridden cities in America. This city was next on his list. He was taking some independent time from the Children of the Damned, but he always kept the communicator on his belt. With his bow slung over his shoulder, he moved swiftly, out of sight to the people bellow who scurried about on the busy streets. All it took was one man to turn into an alley. An rapist, a killer, a knife salesman, Longshot wouldn't treat them any different. They would all meet justice. As he ran, he noticed in the corner of his eye, something hurtling towards the earth. He brought himself to a halt and looked up like everyone else, dumbfounded. The speeding meteor crashed into the street, the level of damage surprisingly low for its velocity. Only a crater around it. People watched in awe as the mysterious thing opened and a woman emerged, wearing nothing but... well, nothing. The people were all shocked and even more so when she floated in the air. Longshot watched her carefully, not because of the nudity, though. With two twists to the rim of his eyepiece, it switched to infra red. Her heat signature was similar to that of e human, perhaps identical, but that and the fact that she had just crash landed from outer space, hinted to the idea that she was not of this world. 
 
Wanting to get a closer look, Longshot jumped down into an alley, landing on a dumpster then walked to the mouth of the alley, sticking to the shadows. The police still had a warrant out on him. He watched as the girl took an overcoat from the crowd and covered herself. Some punk teen got a shot up the coat from his cell phone. Longshot watched as someone stepped out of the crowd and pulled a megaphone to his lips. Only one bald man wore those Armani suits and smelled of bad deals. Only one bald man would pull a damn megaphone out of nowhere and draw as much attention to himself as possible. "Back." Longshot snarled, rending a drainage pipe in his hand. He dared himself to take out to arrows, hit him right in the deltoid and the infraspinatus. Take the use of his right arm, nothing fancy. The police would never catch him. No. He had to wait. Assaulting a respected businessman was no way to go about it. It hadn't worked on him the first time. He had to wait for him to make his own move and discredit him as an international criminal who harbors high profile killers and gives them the means to devastate.  "Do not alarm yourselves. I, Patrick Back, will help out this woman and take care of the situation." he reassured the crowd with his pandering sweet talk. They ate it up. He and a woman who was apparently his secretary, a different one from when they had last met, ushered the girl away. 
 
Longshot pounded his fist into the brick wall. "Dammit!" He knew Patrick would use that girl to his advantage. He would turn her into a weapon and set her loose on the world. She would kill innocent people and his hands would be wiped clean. In the midst of his frustration, Longshot peered up into the clouds. His enhanced vision spotted something, something human, floating up there. After a quick analysis with his eyepiece, Longshot deduced that it was either Eclipse or some rich boy who could afford highly advanced nanotechnology and had somehow gotten his hands on a Champions of Peace communicator. The latter wasn't meant to be plausible. After a moment of fiddling with a device on his belt, Longshot took out his own communicator. "You want Dagger? Meet me down here." he said, looking straight up at Eclipse.
 

New York City, NY

“jsxhjcjsbcjzxjchckzxncjbjsncksncjbsjncs” She didn’t understand a word the bald man said it all sounded jumbled up to her. The blaring sound coming from the megaphone hurt her arms. “DAK SUM NUM!” Sha said looking at the man with her eyes screaming a blood red. Eventually she calmed down and walked out with the bald man. He didn’t’ seem to be shady; while they were walking his heartbeat stayed constant, which also helped calm her nerves.

Solace City,

“Sha are you seeing this?” Maya said with her hands folded looking at the T.V. Holding Ka’len in her arms Sha came from the living room and sat down on the stool watching. “They say it’s a Ninjan spaceship” Maya said looking down at Sha. “Well it’s not entirely weird there are planets that were held by Ninjeta” Sha said. “No Sha look…she looks exactly like you at a young age”. It was at that moment that she became stricken with confusion. “What the hell is going on here?” She then saw her worst foes...Patrick Back. “Patrick has his hands on a Ninjan, with that…he can do almost anything”. “So what are you going to do?” Maya asked picking up her sethosphere; there was no doubt in her mind that she wanted to fight. “You can’t just go out there and attack Patrick Back; the police would be all over you…we need to wait for the most opportune moment.”

The strange alien visitor seemed angry at a moment. DaggerKlutz assumed it was from her confusion. Luckily for the evil genius, Sha quickly calmed down and actually followed him. He was so excited that he almost squealed but then the public would feel uncomfortable and that wouldn't be good. 
 
The crowd clapped as DaggerKlutz led Sha away. When he passed Azrael, who was disguised as a secretary, he waved his hand silently commanding her to follow. DaggerKlutz also tried to find Mr. Mercury but couldn't. Hopefully the young villain was still around and silently following him. With his minions following, DaggerKlutz walked over to where his limo was parked. They would ride the long, black car to the airport and take his private jet to Washington D.C. Then he could go the the Hairy Back Corporation and work on the new visitor's paperwork. He would be able to get the government's approval of giving her citizenship. 
 
The limo ride wouldn't take long, only for a few minutes. During that time, DaggerKlutz was shuffling through his shopping bags. He was so distracted looking for something in particular that he didn't pay much attention to the alien or Azrael. But once the limo stopped at the airport DaggerKlutz grabbed all his bag's handles but actually put one in his mouth. He needed to remember that this bag had what he needed. Everyone boarded the plane.
 
Once on the plane, DaggerKlutz dropped all his body except the one he carried with his mouth and pulled something from it. The outfit in his hands was a silky, sky blue dress. He looked over it with a grin on his face. His fortune cookie was right 'Buy a nice dress for a girl who will be entering your life'. For now on, he would never underestimate the power of a fortune cookie. DaggerKlutz politely handed the alien the dress and directed her to a privet room on the place. She would have the wanted privacy of changing.
 
DaggerKlutz back to where Azrael was sitting and sat down in the leather chair next to her. He grinned at her and said, "This is a good day for evil. Today we have two more powerful assets. The first is our alien friend," DaggerKlutz pointed to the direction of the private room. "and the unexplainable power of the fortune cookies. Mwuahahahahahaha!"  

Eclipse started as he heard a voice emerge from his communicator. Desperately hoping he wasn't going to be called away on Champions business, Eclipse was surprised to hear an unfamiliar voice. The voice delivered its message and Jason scanned his surroundings until he noticed someone who was familiar. He was only confused at first because the two heroes had never spoken, but now that he could see who it was, Eclipse relaxed and headed silently down to the rooftop that his contact was perched upon. It was Longshot, a fellow hero and one of those who stood against Warsman when he declared war on the planet. As an archer, Longshot was underestimated as a threat to Kaligar, yet Eclipse remembered a lot of arrows piercing the alien's hide. 
 
"Hey, Longshot, isn't it? It's a shame you've got other commitments, we could use you on the Champions." The Teen Wonder landed next to the archer as both heroes watched Sha walk away with DaggerKlutz. "I believe a team-up is in order." Eclipse clamped his hand on Longshot's shoulder and sent a gravity pulse through his body. "I just severed the force that keeps you on the ground. You can fly, temporarily. Now, here's the plan." Jason went straight down to business, stating the words 'you can fly' temporarily, like it wasn't that incredible. 
 
"I've been tracking Back's movements for over a month now, trying to find this new Vine Syndicate headquarters and I've got zilch so far. The plan is that we follow him to this new base and, once we get there, try to find out who this girl is and what he intends to do with her. We'll also probably break her out at some point. Ready? Let's go." And so Eclipse launched himself into the air, expecting Longshot to follow suit. Unbeknownst to the archer, the Champion had attached a gravity anchor between the two of them so Longshot couldn't fly too far away. Following the Klutz by air, the two heroes witnessed the bald baddie, his secretary and the alien girl enter the airport. Telling Longshot to wait on the roof, Eclipse followed them inside. 
 
As he followed, Eclipse activated the disguise function of his nano-suit, changing the appearance of his superhero costume so that, instead, he resembled a random civillian. Following the two villains and their hostage through the airport, Eclipse was able to avoid detection by combining his teachings from Nighthunter about the art of disguise and the flawless disguise that the suit itself offered. After a little while, the hero discovered which plane his target was taking and promptly teleported outside, changing back to his regular costume as he explained to Longshot what the plan was and pointed out the plane in question. 
 
Watching and waiting for a time, eventually the two heroes noticed the Syndicate's plane preparing to take-off. Focusing on their own personal gravity fields, as soon as the plane took off into the sky Eclipse waved his hand, setting a gravity anchor on the plane so he and Longshot would be pulled along behind and underneath it, making it easier to breathe for his archer accomplice. The two heroes were simultaneously yanked into the air after the plane and so they began their journey to wherever Patrick Back was headed...

Eclipse arrived on the rooftop next to him. Always impressive how fast these powered types move. He exchanged pleasantries and got right down to business, not giving Longshot the time to explain that he had placed tracers on most of Dagger's private utilities, including his limo and jet. He was quite surprised when Eclipse granted him the temporary gift of flight, introducing it rather nonchalantly. The two soared off into the air. The archer would have interrupted Eclipse and explained his preparation at this point, but he was having too much fun at the moment to care. No wonder all the heroes did this. He kept his enjoyment to himself, but was still astounded by the feel of soaring through the air, letting it run over you as you chased the clouds. 
 
After a brief stop at the airport, they took off after Dagger's private plane. It was hard to miss, a lavish and over the top, state-of-the-art plane with a white and gold paint job. Dagger, his shady assistant and the alien took off and the two abruptly raced after them. They sat just under the plane, drifting above the clouds. There was some protective field of sorts around them, because neither of them went deaf as they sat directly under the plane's engine. He looked at Eclipse and said, "If I could make a tracer any smaller, I'd slip it in his coffee. I've been searching for this new Syndicate base for a long time as well. It's hard to get any evidence on Back that'll stick. After this, though, we might finally get him. Once he's gone, it's checkmate for the Syndicate."  Longshot turned to look at the belly of the plane, switching his eyepiece to thermal imaging and looked to see three red and green figures inside a blue husk, moving around. Two more sat up front. One of them was fully red and orange, as if she were literally filled with fire. That was nothing like the heat signature he had read on the alien. That must have been why he didn't feel right about the assistant. "He'll probably make a stop at his corporate headquarters first. Make her citizenship legitimate. He brought the eyes of the public on himself with that megaphone stunt. He can't just sweep it under the rug now. After that, he'll lead us to the nestegg." He looked Eclipse dead in the eye and with all seriousness said "We can't let him get away this time. It ends now."

Azrael followed Dagger as she saw the young teen who took the wrong kind of picture she took his phone discretely without his notice. Then she continued to follow and got into the limo. As they drove away Blair gave the young blond chocolate. She couldn’t help but admire Daggers wealth she doubted even a limo was meant to be this nice.

Blair continued to follow and just listen to music as they went towards the jet. Her main thought at the moment was wiping out a laptop while on the plane and uploading her tunes. Looking out the window she could tell how massive and impressive the private plane was but she didn’t bother to admire.

Finally taking a seat on the jet Blair began her work. She did after all have over 20 cds she had bought. Dagger gave a dress to the new recruit and pointed her to a private location. Then he spoke to Azrael” This is a good day for evil. Today we have two more powerful assets. The first is our alien friend, and the unexplainable power of the fortune cookies. Mwuahahahahahaha!"  

Blair smiled “really fortune cookies? Who knew they held such evil potential?” Blair said with a laugh. “There anything u want to listen to as we wait their boss man?” the demon asked with her emerald eyes while emptying her bag.
