On top of a building, in the middle of New York, a black beam is shot out from Shade's hands, Heatwave rolls and dodges it, shooting out a white beam. Shade then morphs into a shadow and goes into the ground...Heatwave looks back, seeing that there are safe.

"Get her out of here!"

He nods, as his friend tries to help her out of the cages. Heatwave looks over and a man is sitting in a machine-like chair, knocked out, there are wires hooked to him. Heatwave runs over to him, but Shade comes up with a shadow sword and trips him. Heatwave falls to the ground.

"You ain't going to stop it, Heatwave, I will prevail."

Another man over by the chair working on the knocked out man on the chair looks over to him in confusion.

Heatwave forms a ball of light, fire surrounds it.

"I'm like a miniature sun, Shade, you're pure darkness, who do you think will prevail?"

"The one with more power no doubt."

"You think you have enough power to defeat my team?"

"Your team? Your team is gone, Jason, you're the only one standing in my way!"

Heatwave launches the ball of heat at Shade, He ducks down, and sweeps Heatwave's legs, but he jumps, and when Shade comes back up, He blinds his eyes with light, Shade screams of pain, and falls to his knees, Heatwave runs over to the man in the chair, until...

"LOOK OUT!!!" She screams

All four of the men look up to the skies...a big light is seen, bright as the sun, as big as it too, and then...

Two weeks earlier, Friday, September 5, 2014, 7:15 a.m. ET

"BLAKE!!!"

A loud scream is heard.

"BLAKE!!!"

It is heard again.

In his bed with his eyes barely open is 16 year old Blake Begek. He had brown hair, light brown eyes, and tan skin. They lived in a small neighborhood, just outside Atlanta.

"BLAKE!!!!"

The scream is heard again.

"What?" Blake mumbles

"YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!!!"

Blake looks at the clock on his nightstand, it reads 7:15. His eyes widen.

"Oh, crap!"

He tries to untangle the covers wrapped all around him, in an attempt; he falls off his bed, and lands on his face

"Ooowwww" He whines.

His door opens, his eyes turn back, not being able to move his face, and standing there is Kristen, his 18 year old sister, she looked just like him, only longer hair, and shorter.

"Really, Blake, quit being a lazy butt, and get up!"

Blake finally pushes himself up, and throws a shirt on, and some pants.

"My alarm didn't go off, okay?"

"I told you to buy one the other day!"

"You work at Radio Shack; the least you could do is pick one up for me!"

"Ugh, breakfast is ready downstairs; hurry and eat before the bus comes!"

Blake hurries downstairs; there are eggs and bacon on a plate on the table.

"Sleep late enough?"

Blake looks to the right, and standing there is Brandon French, his best friend, and has been since 4th grade. He had a small afro-like hairdo, a darker skin complexion then Blake, and had brown eyes.

"Hey, Brandon"

"Alarm clock didn't go off again?"

"You know it"

He sits down and grabs the fork, shoving food in his mouth, within minutes; the bus comes up to his house.

"Dude, hurry up, bus is here"

Blake shoves the whole piece of bacon in his mouth, and turns around; his nose is all red from when he fell out of his bed.

"What happened to your face?"

"What?"

"It's all...red!"

The bus honks its horn

"Never mind, we gotta go!"

Blake grabs his backpack, and he and Brandon quickly run to the bus and jump on in

20 minutes later...

Blake stuffs his books into his locker, and throws his backpack on top of them, he turns around, and standing there is Zane Reaper, the scariest kid in the school. He had Black hair, which draped over his right eye, His eyes were dark, could've been considered black, they were so dark. He wore a black leather jacket, and a red t-shirt underneath, with his black leather pants.

"Hey Rudolph"

"Uh, What do you want Zane?"

He shoves Blake against the locker

"Just wondering what I am getting for lunch today!"

"Sorry, bud, no lunch for you today"

"What did you say?"

His eyes squint, and he gives an angry look.

"I mean, I didn't bring any today"

"Shame...you know what that means, right?"

Zane cracks his knuckles, and then his neck

"Back off, Zane"

Zane looks to his left, and Brandon is standing there

"Oh, look, it's your witto fwend sticking up for you...how cute!"

...

"I hate cute!"

The few people who were around gathered at a safe distance.

"Yeah, well we all hate you, so what does that matter"

Zane makes a fist

"Go ahead"

Zane punches Brandon right in the nose; Brandon falls to the ground the impact was so big. Zane kneels down, and picks him up by the collar, he shoves him against the lockers, and a loud noise is heard.

"Aw look! You two have matching noses"

Zane laughs at himself, and when he turns around, the principal, Mr. Henson, stares right at him.

"My office...now!" he said with a stern look. Zane follows him, flipping off Brandon behind his back.

"Thanks, Brandon"

"No Problem, Blake, least I could do"

"I'm just sorry it's like this every day"

"Me too"

Blake and Brandon head to biology (c)lass, the only (c)lass they had together.

Meanwhile, 8:00 PT

Up in Seattle, Washington, a young 16 year old girl is wiping down the bar inside a coffee shop. She had blonde hair, green eyes, and tan skin. Her name was Alice Frock. She was a runaway orphan that has taken care of herself all her life.

The manager, Sean Jacobson, comes out of his office and walks up to her.

"You know Alice, you really out do yourself."

She doesn't answer.

"I mean, you're the first employee here every day..."

Still, she doesn't answer.

"Alice?"

She takes the rags she was using to clean, and throws them inside a bucket of water, she turns around, and is spooked by Sean.

"Ah! Mr. Jacobson, don't scare me like that!"

"Allison, are you okay?"

"What? Yeah, I am fine!"

"Are you sure?"

"No, I am a wreck!"

"What's wrong?"

"You know my boyfriend, Hank, right?"

"The Dutch guy who is in here all the time?"

"Yeah, well, his birthday is coming up, and I want to give him the perfect present!"

Mr. Jacobson thinks to himself for a minute.

"What?"

"I actually have something he may like"

"Really"

"Yeah, come with me"

Alice follows Sean into his office; there are Seattle Seahawks souvenirs all around the office; he had signed jerseys, game balls, bobble-heads, and more.

Sean reaches into his bottom drawer, and pulls out a notebook of some kind.

He rips out two pieces of something. Alice can't see it.

"Here take these"

He hands her two tickets to the football game this Sunday.

"Football tickets, I can't take these."

"Oh, please, it's the least I can do, you work hard all the time...plus I can't go; my wife is dragging me to some wedding...you guys like football right?"

"Yeah, we love football, huge Seahawks fans."

"They're playing the Falcons, in Atlanta Sunday!"

"Thanks so much, Mr. Jacobson!"

"No problem kid!"

Meanwhile...11:15 ET

Sitting down at the lunch table is Blake and Brandon...Brandon across from him...Brandon takes out a box of food.

"What is that?" Blake asks.

"Chinese"

"Chinese food for school lunch"

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?"

"Nothing...nothing..."

"So, what did you think about biology?" Brandon asks.

"About what"

"That meteor shower he mentioned, the things he's studied"

"Oh, please, it's just another shooting star parade...if it even happens!"

"What?"

"I've looked out for shooting stars and comets before, never ever see them."

"Maybe tonight will be different!"

"I doubt it!"

"Come on, he said they will be shooting by earth rather close this...umm...This..."

"Blake?"

Suddenly, Brandon notices Zane coming over behind him from the reflection of the window. Blake is facing him as he comes up.

"It's Zane" Blake continues, "Man, I am so sick of this guy, I swear, if he does one more wedgie, I am going to slit his throat..."

"He might beat you too it..."

"Huh?"

"This guy has been arrested 3 times in the past month, he was suspected for two murders, and one theft."

"And he's still here?"

"There was never enough evidence to support it."

"That sucks! This guy is a complete psycho!"

"I know"

Meanwhile...

Hank walks inside the coffee shop and waves at Alice, she smiles, as she lays a tray of food on the table, giving the signal of being there in a minute. Hank was full-blooded Dutch. He had blonde, short hair. Brown eyes, and was about 5'8''. He hated the Dutch, and came to America at the age of 18. He met Alice just a few months later.

Alice runs over, holding a towel in her hand, and jumps onto him, giving him a hug.

"I'm glad you're here...I got something for you!"

"Me?"

"Yes, hold on!"

Alice runs into an office, as Hank stands by the entrance. She quickly runs out, and hands an envelope to Hank.

"What's this?"

"Look!" She says with force.

"Okay, okay!"

He opens the envelope pulling out the two tickets.

"Happy Birthday, Hank!"

"Alice...I don't know what to say!"

"Say you'll pack your bags, and we'll live on the next flight to Georgia, oh, and rental car will be needed!"

"Alice..."

"Yeah?"

"You are amazing."

She smiles.

Meanwhile...

Zane sits down at their table, and he stares at the math teacher, Mrs. Gander sitting down a few tables away...she drinks the a glass of milk that was in front of her, and within a few seconds darts out of the lunch room.

Blake and Brandon are somewhat confused.

Zane pulls out tons of packets of salt and sugar.

"And you made the teacher puke why?"

"Because, I need to have a little fun"

Zane picks up the tray of food, and is about to pour it onto Brandon, when Blake throws his cup of chocolate milk on him.

Zane turns to face Blake, and stares into his eyes. Zane's are like pure black.

"You really shouldn't have done that."

Zane jumps over the table, Blake quickly slides off the bench and runs to the other side of the lunch room. Zane picks up random person's lunches and launches them at Blake, but manages to miss all of them.

Brandon then jumps on the back of Zane. Zane tries to shake him off, but he can't.

Soon a whistle is heard through all the commotion.

Everyone looks over to the entrance, and standing there is Mrs. Gander, and the Principal, Mr. Henson. Brandon slides off Zane's back, which is soaked with Chocolate milk...everyone seems to calm down, as the principal points the three of them to his office.
