OK, so as you guys know, I already have my "The Hero Legacies" going on, but I'm taking a break from that for a while, and starting Volume Three of Heroes. I figured I have until February to make a great, original volume out of it, so why not? I will be continuing straight from the end of volume two. Here's the first chapter:

"The world is not what it seems… People aren't what they seem… Sometimes, nothing is what it seems… friends become enemies… safety becomes danger… people become monsters… but there is one thing that keeps us together… Hope… hope is always what it seems… there is always hope."

Odessa, Texas

Nathan Petrelli turned to his younger brother Peter, and smiled. He then turned to the camera. "I have the ability to -"

Suddenly, two gunshots are heard. Nathan's face etched in shock, and then he fell. Peter caught his older brother as he fell.



Nathan looked blankly at Peter. Everyone around was screaming, and police swarmed the area, but none of this registered in Peter's mind. He was just looking down at his brother, nothing else mattered at the moment.

"Nathan… you have to be OK." Peter said, tears rolling down his face.

"Pe-ter…" Nathan whispered, his words broken as he struggled to speak. "Promise – me."

"Anything, Nathan… what?" Peter said.

Nathan grunted in pain, and took a deep breath. "Promise me.. you will take down the com-pany. Do ever-ything you can…"

"N-Nathan. You are not going to die!" Peter said, his voice trembling.

"Prom-ise me, Pete."

Peter looked at his brother, life slowly leaving his body.

"I promise, Nathan." Peter cried. "I promise."

Peter picked up his brother, and watched the commotion around him, everyone was panicking, looking for someone with the gun. No-one was looking at them. He touched Matt and the three of them disappeared.

Volume Three: Villains
Chapter One – Side Effects

Mohinder, Molly, Maya, Elle and Bob
Brooklyn

"..So then I zapped him! He ran Daddy…but I saved these guys!" Elle told her father. Bob looked over at Mohinder.

"It's true, she saved us all." Mohinder said.

"Well, good work Elle. I guess I have no choice to put you back in the field." Bob said.
Elle embraced her father. "Thank you, Daddy. I won't let you down!"

Bob looked over at Maya. "So, Maya, I heard you have an extraordinary gift."

"It's not a gift." Maya said. "It's only ever been a curse to me. My brother is dead. His killer escaped."

"Not for long, Maya. Sylar has something we need. We have to retrieve Claire's blood, Mohinder. It's our only hope of saving Niki. Elle, I need you to go after Sylar." Bob replied.

"But I have no idea where he went, Dad." Elle replied.

"I'm sure Molly can lend a hand." Bob smiled.

Peter, Nathan, Matt
Manhattan

Peter, Nathan and Matt reappeared at Nathan's house. Nathan's corpse looked straight ahead with a blank stare. Peter placed him on the couch.

"Peter…he's dead." Matt stuttered.

"No!" Peter shouted, "We can still save him… Adam's blood could save lives, it saved Nathan's when I exploded, I can use my blood to heal him."

"But he's already dead!"

"It doesn't matter! I can still save him!" Peter interrupted.

"No…you can't." A voice replied. Peter and Matt turned around to see Angela Petrelli standing there. "Peter, you absorbed Adam's healing power, but you do not have his healing blood. The only two people who can save Nathan are Adam and Claire. We have no idea where Adam is, and by the time we find Claire, it will be too late. You have to let him go, Peter."

Peter felt his world crashing down on him. He collapsed to his knees. Why did his brother take the shot? HE could have taken the shot, and survived.

"He can't be dead, Mum. There must be a way to save him."

"There isn't." Angela sighed. "We can't bring him back."

Matt spoke, "I think…I better leave you two to it. I don't want to be bothering you. I'm sorry… for your loss."

Angela nodded her head and Matt walked straight past her.

**It had to be done…for the sake of the company**

Matt froze on the spot, hearing what Angela had just thought.
"What?" Matt gasped. Angela turned around, confused.

"You knew Nathan was going to get shot, didn't you?" Matt confronted Angela.

Peter stood up. He looked over to his mother and read her mind.

**If Nathan revealed the company…we'd all be in trouble.**

"You Lady!" Peter screamed. "You knew he was going to die!"

Before Peter knew what he was doing, he picked up his mother and threw her against the wall.

"Peter!" Matt shouted "Stop it!"

Peter turned, and with a quick wave of his hand, threw Matt across the room.

"Peter, the company can never be found out!" Angela shouted "People won't accept us for who we are, they will treat us as outsiders… the company, the powers… everything, and it must all stay a secret!"

"No! It's because of you, my brother is dead!" Peter said, his voice growling. "Your own son! I'm sick of cleaning up your mess! As long as I live, I will do everything I can to take down the company!"

"You really don't get it, do you Peter? Nathan had to be killed! If he had stayed alive, then we would have been hunted. Treated like Aliens…and the company. We have done things that we could die for!" Angela yelled.

Peter brushed his hand through his hair. His own mother had betrayed him. He felt a sudden surge of hate for his mother, something beyond anything he had felt before.

"Get out!" Peter screamed. "Get out…or I'll kill you!"

Angela's fear glowed in her eyes. She stood up, and ran out of the door. Peter looked back at Matt, and his anger melted. He had thrown Matt across the room for no reason. He helped Matt up to his feet.

"I'm sorry… I was angry." Peter murmured.

"I understand." Matt replied. "But we need to find out who killed your brother. If we can get them, we can find out everything we need to know about the company… we can get all the information we need."

"How do you suppose we find who did it?" Peter said.

"I don't know. But we need to find him." Matt replied.

Suddenly, horror struck across Peter. He looked at Matt with complete terror.

"What? What is it, Peter?" Matt asked, anxiously.

"Caitlin!" Peter answered "She's still in the future!"

Sylar
Brooklyn

Sylar was sat in an alleyway. He took the needle out of his arm. A rush of excitement flooded Sylar. He felt sudden warmth, and he noticed the gashes in his hands healed themselves. He quickly felt his face; the gashes in his face were healed too. Was it done? Did he no longer have the virus? More importantly, were his powers working?

He looked over the lane, and saw a single can of spinach, already opened and emptied. He held out his hand and concentrated. After a few seconds, the can flung into his hand. He smiled. "I'm back."

Hiro & Ando
Tokyo, Japan

"Did you kill him?" Ando asked in Japanese, referring to Adam Monroe.

"He can never hurt anyone else again." Hiro replied.

"So, you killed him?" Ando asked.

"Adam has lived for 400 years. He's had a lot of experiences, probably done things we couldn't imagine doing. If I killed him, what would it achieve? He has lived a great life, and he would probably not be bothered dying. No, I had to make him suffer. Suffer for years to come. I buried him Ando. Alive. He is buried in a steel casket. And covered in concrete. He is never getting out."

Hiro looked at his friend. Ando smiled back. A sense of achievement rose over Hiro and he couldn't help but smile back.

Adam Monroe
6 Feet Under
Tokyo, Japan

Adam gasped heavily. He could barely breathe, but he couldn't stop breathing. He was barely alive but could not die. The suffering was excruciating. He was stuck. He was never getting out of this hellhole. He was laid to suffer forever.

"Help…me." He gasped, begging someone to hear him.

He closed his eyes, hoping that one day he would get out of here, and he continued to struggle as he breathed.

Peter, Matt and Nathan
Manhattan

"Who's Caitlin?" Matt asked.

"This woman…I left her in the future… before the virus was destroyed. I have to get her. All this commotion made me completely forget about her." Peter said "Stay here… I'll be back as soon as possible."

And Peter disappeared. He reappeared in New York, 2008. He looked around. The city was bustling. People were walking around, entering shops, going into cabs.

"We did it." He said to himself. "We saved the world from the virus."

He looked across the street and saw the building where he and Caitlin were kept before. He entered the homeland security building. Peter looked around. He saw a man, and he recognized him instantly. It was the man who told him about the Shanti virus when he was here last time.

"Excuse me!" Peter shouted.

The man turned and looked at Peter. Peter walked up to him.

"Where is Caitlin?" Peter asked.

The police officer looked at Peter stupidly. "Um…do I know you, sir?"

"Of course you do… you were here… you told me about the virus, and you took Caitlin… deported her." Peter answered.

"What in the blue hell are you talking about, son? I don't know anything about a virus." The officer replied.

"Of course, she was deported." Peter said to himself. "She's in Ireland!" He ran out of the door, and teleported.

Bob & Noah
The Company

"Thank you, Noah." Bob smiled.

"I don't want your thanks. All I want from you is to stay away from my family." Noah replied.

"And we will… so long as the company remains a secret." Bob replied. "Nathan was about to destroy everything we've worked for over the past thirty years, shooting him was the best thing you ever did."

"You disgust me." Noah spat. "I disgust myself. How can you live with yourself, knowing you just killed an innocent man?"
"No, you killed him, Noah." Bob said.

"On your orders." Noah snapped back. Noah turned around and walked out of the door. Bob watched him leave, as he stared in deep thought.

Peter Petrelli
Cork, Ireland
2008

Peter reappeared outside the Wandering Rocks pub. He entered it, it was quite full. In the corner, a group of drunk men were singing some Irish song and one man was shouting "If I… WAS the referee… then I would have sent the bugger off!"

Peter walked up to the bar. No-one he recognised was there. A barmaid came to the front.

"What are ya having?" She asked.

"Caitlin. I need to see Caitlin!" Peter replied. The barmaid froze.

"Caitlin?" She repeated. Peter nodded. "Come around the back." The barmaid said. Peter wasted no time and entered the door into the back of the pub. The barmaid sat down on a chair and Peter sat opposite.

"Caitlin…" She started. She sighed.

"Well, last year, she went to Montreal with some American…" The barmaid continued.

"Yeah, that was me!" Peter replied. The woman looked slightly surprised.

"You? Well then you should be telling us where she is!" The barmaid replied.

"What?" Peter asked.

"She went to Montreal with you last year… next thing we know, she disappears. Since we were the closest thing she has to family, we reported her missing. They wanted some I.D for her. So we went and got her birth certificates and such…but they were gone. Everything. Birth certificates, a copy of her passport, all the information on her…it was gone." The barmaid explained.

"What? It couldn't have just disappeared!" Peter said, raising his voice slightly.

"They disappeared…it's as if... as if, she never existed."

Micah & Monica
New Orleans

The fire blazed as the diner melted into nothing. Firetrucks swarmed the area and the hoses put out the fire. Micah tried to run toward the building but Monica held him back. Firemen ran into the building, looking for any sign of Niki Sanders.

Thirty minutes passed.

Micah sat on the ground, looking straight down, blankly staring as Monica looked down at him. She felt so bad for Micah. She knew what he was going through and it killed her that he had to go through the same thing.

A fireman walked up to them and Monica got to her feet.

"We've searched the building thoroughly." The fireman said.

"And?" Monica replied.

"Well, we can't find her. Not alive. Not dead. Nothing." The fireman explained.

"So, what does that mean?"

"Well," The fireman said, "She either got out, or she was blown up into nothing."

"Oh…" Monica replied. She didn't know what else to say.

"But there's always a body…no matter how damaged, I've always been able to find a body…always." The fireman said. And he walked away. Monica looked over the road to Micah. He was just sitting there. Staring into nothing. Monica sighed, and walked over to him. She embraced him and he broke into tears.

Matt, Nathan & Peter
Manhattan

Peter reappeared in present time Manhattan. Matt Parkman saw him. "Did you find her?"

Peter looked at him, and sighed. "I've done something terrible, Matt."

"Peter? What is it?" Matt asked.

"I've been so stupid. All along I've been trying to destroy that virus. Doing so, caused Caitlin to no longer exist." Peter replied.

"What? How is that possible?" Matt questioned.

"Matt, she's stuck in a future that is no longer going to happen! As far as we're concerned, she no longer exists… and I'm never going to see her again. No-one will." Peter groaned. "It was my time-travelling that caused this…if I had never gone to the future, this would never have had happened."

"Peter, if you had never gone to the future, 93% of the world's population would be dead by next year!" Matt argued. "Going to the future was the best thing that you ever did. You saved us all!"

Peter shouted back, "Maybe… but I've just lost the girl I love! And she's never coming back! As far as I'm concerned, I'm never time travelling again!"

Sylar
Brooklyn

Sylar stuck to the alleyways. He was powerful once more, but he had to get out. That woman with the electrical hands… he wanted to avoid her if he could. He walked into another alleyway and froze.

"You!" He gasped.

"You have something that belongs to us!" Elle replied.

"What? Oh… the blood?" Sylar asked, grinning. "Ha. You're too late, silly girl. I've already used it!"

"No!" Elle shouted. A thunderous bolt of electricity flew out of her hand, but Sylar swiftly avoided it.

"Amazing how much super hearing can help your agility, isn't it?" Sylar said, still grinning.

Elle shot another bolt of electricity, but Sylar again avoided it, and then he picked her up by the throat with his Telekinesis. Elle was slammed against the wall and she groaned in pain.

"It's been a long time… please; forgive me if I'm a bit rusty." Sylar smiled. He pointed his index finger, and moved it across the air. Elle let out shrill screams and then there was silence.

"Thank you, Elle." Sylar said, almost whispering. "Electrokinesis will come in handy."

TO BE CONTINUED.

Noooooo ! You can't kill elle - she's too hot to die !

heheh...well of course you CAN but...ah you know what i mean...

nicely done btw, i look foward to the next installment ( and elle being saved )

lol. Elle is dead.

Sylar is a force to be reckoned with and I think I made a big enough impact to prove that.

Watch out, Sylar's about.

Elle! Guh, I would be so ****** if that happened on the show.

But I'm kind of confused about something. Didn't Elle think she killed Sylar, and didn't they all [Maya, Mohinder, Molly] think he was dead?

Stupid Peter, he saves 93% of the world's population and he's complaining over one girl who he was "in love with" for three days

Pretty good.

In the season 2 finale, Elle zapped Sylar. He got away, but Mohinder said that if she hadn't turned up, Sylar would have killed them all. So in my version of Volume three, Elle goes after Sylar for the blood and the fact that he is a murderer etc. and when she finds him thanks to Molly, she goes after him. Sylar beats her in a fight and kills her. I hope that clears the confusion.

If not, please let me know.

And about Peter, I never liked Caitlin, so I'm just trying to get her out of the story ASAP so Peter can move on to taking down the company.

Yeah, you cleared it up, thanks

Haha, yeah, the less Caitlin, the better.

Yeah. I've started writing chapter two and i'm about half-way through it. I hope to make this something we never see in Heroes, a fast-paced volume. Stay tuned in.

That was awesome!

Write more!

Cool Chapter. Some lines were a little ropey, but it was enjoyable none the less

That was a great chapter. Can't wait for more!

Previously on Heroes:

After a battle with Sylar, Elle was killed and Sylar took her ability. How will Bob cope with the news? And how will everyone cope with a whole new dangerous Sylar? Niki's body was not found. Is she still alive? Or was she blown to nothing? Adam Monroe was buries underground and left to suffer by Hiro; Will Adam ever escape his steel grave? Peter promised his brother he would do anything it takes to bring down The Company… What will Peter Petrelli do?



Chapter Two: The Escape

Sylar
Brooklyn

Sylar stood in the dark street. He looked up at the lamppost. It was off. A smirk emerged form Sylar's face, and he outstretched his hand. A spark of electricity came through his hand and into the lamppost. The lamppost flickered slightly, and then turned on.

"Perfect." Sylar smiled, having perfected his latest ability. Sylar looked down at the body of Elle Bishop, motionless and decapitated.

"Tut tut…she was such a pretty girl." Sylar murmured to himself, and walked away.

Bob
The Company

"…Mohinder, any news on how Elle is doing?" Bob said, talking to his cell phone. "None yet? OK, let me know as soon as something comes up."

Bob ended the call and sat in his chair, biting his nails. It had been several hours since he sent Elle to look for Sylar.

"What did you ask her to do this time?" A voice asked.

Bob spun around to see Noah Bennet standing in his doorway.

"Excuse me?" Bob said.

"On the phone… what field assignment have you given Elle?" Noah repeated.

Bob looked down, and replied. "I sent her after Sylar."

Noah's face turned into slight shock. "What? You've got to be kidding me!"

"He has Claire's blood… we need it to save Niki." Bob explained.

"Don't you see, Bob? He took Claire's blood to use it…to get his powers back… if he has them back, then sending Elle after him was the biggest mistake you could make." Noah argued.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Bob asked.

"If he has his powers back, I guarantee you that Elle is either badly hurt, or dead. My guess the latter. But of course all you care about is what you want… and now it's gotten your daughter killed." Noah replied.

"Elle isn't dead!" Bob shouted.

"Let's hope your right, then." Noah said. "Why did you ask me here?"

"I've been in contact with Angela Petrelli. She said Peter Petrelli knows that someone in the company killed his brother." Bob said. "Now, as you know full well, Peter is a man of great power. Not only does he have a lot of abilities… he's also immortal."

"Don't you think I know that?" Noah asked.

"Of course… but he's going to come after you if he finds out you killed Nathan." Bob replied.

"So, what do you want me to do?" Noah asked impatiently.

"Go after him first…a bullet, straight through the head… stops the brain working, therefore, it stops him healing… thus Peter dies." Bob said.

"I am not killing Peter Petrelli!" Noah stated.

"That's a shame…" Bob replied "Because when he finds out you have killed Nathan, he's going to kill you."

"You son of a Lady! You can't blackmail me into killing anyone you want!" Noah screamed.

"Oh, on the contrary…I can." Bob said, grinning.

Mohinder, Maya, Molly
Mohinder's Lab
Brooklyn

"Elle is taking a long time, Mohinder." Molly spoke, "Is she going to be OK?"

"I'm sure she's fine." Mohinder replied.

"Can I look for her?" Molly asked. Mohinder was taken aback. He wasn't sure what to tell Molly. If Elle was dead… No, he couldn't think like that.

"Um…yes, of course you can Molly." Mohinder replied.

Molly smiled and closed her eyes. Mohinder watched as her smile faded and a tear came from her eye.

"Molly?" Mohinder called. Molly opened her eyes. She looked over at Mohinder.

"I- I can't find her… like Alejandro." Molly gasped.

Peter, Matt & Nathan
Manhattan

"Let's get Nathan out of here." Peter told Matt. Matt nodded and Peter teleported the three of them. They reappeared at a graveyard.

"Wait here." Peter said gruffly and disappeared. He reappeared seconds later and Matt stood back as in front of him stood a tombstone and Nathan's grave.

"How did you -" Matt started.

"I've just spent eight hours digging that grave." Peter said. "Let's go. I have to find Nathan's killer."

Matt, still quite in shock, was teleported with Matt back to Manhattan. Matt sat down.

"OK, when we were there… I saw a guy go around the corner. He was wearing a black leather jacket. Of course, we teleported here before I could read his mind… but I'm sure he was the killer." Matt stated.

"What makes you so sure?" Peter asked.

"Everyone was moving forward. This guy couldn't wait to get out of the building… he looked suspicious. I don't know, exactly… but I'm sure it was him." Matt replied.

"OK, that's a start, bu--" Peter started, but he suddenly froze. His eyes went a milky white. "Paint. I need Paint!" Peter gasped.

"Paint?" Matt asked. Peter nodded. "I'll go get some."

New Orleans

In a dark alleyway, a woman lay on the floor. It was Niki Sanders. She lifted her bottle of water to her mouth and drunk some. The burns all over her body felt like a pitchfork, burning against her skin.

"Niki… Niki… Niki." She said to herself. "Weak Niki."

Niki stood up and smiled to herself. "You've been holding me back for years. But now Niki is dead… Jessica's back."

Jessica smirked and let out a small chuckle, before walking out of the alleyway and through the night filled streets.

Bob, Molly, Mohinder, Maya
Brooklyn

"No!" Shouted Bob. "Check again! Check again!"

"She's checked 4 times Bob!" Mohinder shouted back. "I'm sorry. But your daughter is dead! And if Sylar got to her… then he's more dangerous than ever."

"She was my only daughter!" Bob yelled, as he collapsed onto the bed. "She can't be dead. She can't be!"

"I'm sorry, Bob." Mohinder sighed. "But at least you know she died doing the world good."

"I suppose." Bob muttered. "But she died for nothing."

"Excuse me?" Mohinder asked Bob.

"I got a call. There was a fire in New Orleans. Niki's dead." Bob said, quickly, as if to get it out of the way.

"My god." Mohinder gasped. "A fire. How?"

"She was saving Monica Dawson from the fire." Bob replied. "So, Elle died for nothing. Even if she had gotten the blood… Niki couldn't be saved. They say she was blown up so bad, they couldn't even find the body."

"Elle didn't die for nothing, Bob. She died trying to save the lives of a lot of people." Mohinder stated. "You should be proud of her… that's all she ever wanted."

"I am proud of her." Bob said, wiping his tears.

Adam Monroe
6 Feet Under
Tokyo, Japan.

The weather was bad. Adam could hear it. Thunderous winds and terrible rain. His eardrums felt like they were going to burst. Suddenly, Adam saw a light. A tiny little crack in the casket. His heart skipped several beats and a sudden surge of excitement rose over him. A huge thunderbolt cracked down onto the casket, cracking it wide open. Adam let out a scream, but he was unharmed.

Suddenly, a shadow overwhelmed him and a hand was held out. He was now taking deep breaths. His first proper breaths in ages. He slowly regained his energy and met his hand with the mysterious figure's. The figure lifted him up onto the green grass and Adam felt so alive. He struggled and slowly stood up. He looked at his saviour, and if possible, the smile on his face got bigger.

"Thank you, dear friend." Adam spoke, his voice still a bit croaky. "Please forgive me for being rude, but I thought you were dead. What are you doing here?"

London, England

A man was walking down the street, texting on his mobile phone. He looked over the road for a split second, and when he looked down again, his phone was gone. He looked around, but there was no sign of his phone anywhere.

Down the road, and into another street, a man emerged out of thin air and laughed as he brought the mobile phone out of his pocket.

"The look on his face!" Claude laughed.

Claude threw the phone to the ground; he had no need for it. He then looked up and froze.

"Bugger my duck!" Claude gasped.

"Nice to see you too." The man replied.

"How the hell did you find me?" Claude replied.

"Don't worry… I'm not here to catch you… I need your help." The man said.

"Why should I help you Noah?" Claude asked.

Noah stepped forward. "I am a changed man from all those years ago. I know you were the one talking sense. But I'm being blackmailed into something I can't do. My family are in danger, and I need your help more than anything. Please…"

Claude sighed. It was weird, but he felt he could actually trust Noah. He knew Noah for several years, and he knew when Noah was telling the truth.

"First, we need to talk." Claude replied. "Come with me."

TO BE CONTINUED.

OK, so maybe this episode wasn't as good as the first. I didn't think it was, but it set up a lot of things for episodes to come, which was what I wanted to do. This is one of those build up episodes that will pay off by a great episode later. If you liked it great, personally, I thought Chapter One was better. One thing I am happy about is Claude is back. He's one of my faves and will be in the volume alot.

Yay! Claude

I liked this eppy a lot, and I understand that you need set-up so if the quality dips, so be it. Good episode anyways! How long will this Volume be by the way?

For now, I'm not sure. I'm kind of writing it as I go along. I hope to get about 25 chapters out of it though, but nothing's confirmed.

Previously on Heroes:

Adam Monroe escaped his grave thanks to the help of someone he thought to be dead. Who saved him? Noah caught up with old friend Claude, needing his help. Will Claude be merciful? Peter's precognition power started activating itself, and Matt went off to get paint. What will Peter paint? Elle was killed by Sylar. What will Bob do to get revenge? Will Sylar ever be stopped? Niki, or rather her alternate persona Jessica, escaped the fire that everyone thought killed her… but with Niki dead, and Jessica alive, what will she plan to do next? Will Micah ever find out his mother is alive?



CHAPTER THREE: PROTECTION
Matt Parkman & Peter Petrelli
Manhattan

"Here's the paint." Matt called to Peter. He pulled out the canvas that Peter had in the corner, when Peter pointed to it, and handed Peter the paint.

"Peter, what's going on?" Matt asked. But he got no reply. Peter just started painting, and Matt watched in awe as the picture started to form into something.

Matt sighed. He'd just have to wait until Peter stopped doing – whatever it was he was doing. Matt sat down and watched as Peter continued to paint.

Sylar
New Orleans

Sylar smiled. He was quite proud of how much he had travelled in such a short time. He was now far away from anyone who was a danger to him, and he could finally start working on how to take down the c0mpany that took his powers away… although killing the boss' daughter was a start he was quite proud of.

"Well, here's a surprise." A woman's voice called. Sylar turned and saw a smiling woman. He grunted. He remembered her from Kirby Plaza.

"Ah… the woman with the super strength." Sylar didn't smile. "You know those hits with the Parking Meter hurt…"

"Niki hurt you, huh? Well then, it's a good thing she's dead… I'm Jessica." Jessica said, still smiling.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Sylar asked.

"Niki, my… let's just say, my alter ego. She's dead. She lost consciousness in a fire here… I took over her body and escaped. But I'm kind of bitter. You see, there's a company that injected Niki with all kinds of crap, and stopped me from coming out. I want revenge." Jessica explained.

"A company, eh? What a coincidence." Sylar said, a grin slowly emerging from his face.

Claude and Noah
London, England

Claude and Noah stood on the rooftop of the apartment building. "Why did you bring me here?" Noah asked.

"I sit up here all the time… just pondering on things." Claude replied. "You see my friend, you need my help, but I'm finding it very hard to WANT to help you."

"I don't blame you." Noah said. "I did horrible things. To you. To everyone. I realise that now."

"So why are you still working for the company?" Claude asked.

"I wasn't… I did leave, I planned on taking down that company… that didn't work out so well. I got shot in the eye, and killed. Claire's blood brought me back. But they kept me locked up -" Noah was interrupted.

"Ah! So Claire was special after all! Congratulations, Noah. Did you take her in?" Claude said, sarcastically cheerful.

"Of course I didn't! They kidnapped her. Eventually, they let me out, said they'd leave my family alone. As long as I went back to work with them and stop anyone from revealing the company." Noah revealed.

" … So you're still in your killing ways then?" Claude asked.

"Excuse me?" Noah asked.

"C'mon, Noah, I'm not stupid… Nathan Petrelli. It was fairly obvious he was going to reveal the company and the fact he had a power… and you shot him, didn't you?" Claude said, revelling in his old friend's suffering.

Noah dropped his head and nodded. "Yes…I did it." Noah looked up. "And I've regretted it ever since. Nathan was Claire's father… we had a mutual respect at the very least… but now Bob wants me to kill Peter Petrelli."

"Peter?" Claude said, looking slightly surprised.

"Yes. Peter." Noah continued. "But I can't do it… I can't kill him. I need you to protect my family. I need you to keep them hidden."]

"How do you suppose I do that? I can only make myself invisible." Claude replied.

"We both know that's not true." Noah replied. "Please, Claude. I'm begging you."

Claude sighed. "Noah, don't you think for one second that I have forgiven you. I never have and I never will. I'm not too fond on your family either, to be quite honest. But you could say… to a certain extent, I care for Peter Petrelli. So yes, I will protect your family."

Noah smiled. "Thank you, Claude. Thank you… so much."

"Where do you live nowadays?" Claude asked.

"Costa Verde."

Maya, Mohinder, Bob, Molly
The Company

"We have to catch Sylar." Bob said. "He killed my daughter. I'm going to make him suffer!"

"He's dangerous, Bob." Mohinder said "We have to be careful."

"I need someone to come with me." Bob replied.

"You are going?" Maya asked, in slight surprise.

"I have a power too, Maya." Bob said. "And when I catch Sylar, that son of a b itch is turning into stone."

"Then… let me come with you." Maya said. "Gabriel is weak when I use my ability."

"But you'll hurt Bob, too!" Molly spoke. Everyone looked at her.

"Molly's right." Mohinder said. "You haven't controlled your ability to target specific people yet."

"It's worth a try… if I can't do it, I can stop myself easily enough." Maya argued. "I think I should go."

"I agree." Bob piped up. "Here…"

Bob handed Maya a gun. "Just incase." He muttered. He turned to Molly.

"Can you tell me where Sylar is, Molly?" Bob asked. Molly nodded.

Matt & Peter
Manhattan

Three hours had passed. Matt was falling asleep when Peter took a deep breathe and fell back a bit. Matt startled and stood up. He looked around. Peter had painted about a dozen paintings.

"What the hell was that, Peter?" Matt asked.

"I forgot to mention." Peter said. "I can paint the future."

"Forgot to mention?" Matt repeated. "It's not something you just forget to mention.

"Whatever." Peter said. "There are twelve paintings; we'd better see what's on them."

Peter looked up and around the room. The twelve paintings had been marked out of twelve. He looked at the first. It showed a man with blonde hair and another man with dark hair sitting in a house in Japan.

"What does this mean?" Matt asked.

"I don't know… but that man there… he looks a lot like Adam." Peter said.

"Adam?" Matt repeated. "Monroe?" Peter nodded.

"What about this one?" Matt said. "Looks like your mother… she's… is she dead?"

Peter looked over quickly. His mother lay on the floor, her head lopsided.

"Sylar." He muttered.

"Of course! Sylar!" Matt said, now realising what had happened to Angela Petrelli.

"We have to stop this from happening!" Peter said. "That's painting 4 of 12, so these two paintings must happen first." Peter pointed at painting's two and three.

Painting Two showed a man standing in a flood of rain. He looked like the dark haired man in the first picture. The third picture showed Adam Monroe, picking up a key.

"None of this helps me in terms of saving my mother." Peter said, frustrated.
"It's all to do with Adam Monroe and this guy" He said, pointing at the dark haired man.

"This key… we saw one just like it at Primatech in Odessa." Matt said.

"It still doesn't explain how my mother dies." Peter said. He sat on the chair and put his head in his hands. "What good are these powers if they can[t help me when I need them most."

"There are still eight more paintings. Maybe they can help us." Matt suggested.

"They all happen after my mother is dead. I know I was angry at her, but I don't want her dead." Peter replied.

"It's worth a try… they may give us some sort of hint." Matt said, and looked at the painting marked 5/12.

Adam Monroe &?
Tokyo, Japan

Adam was sitting down, with his long time friend sitting opposite him. His friend had dark hair, and a shady look about him.

"…So, how are you not dead?" Adam asked the man.

"I was never dead." He replied. His voice was hoarse and deep. "I just went into hiding. When you were locked up, I knew they'd find out about me, so I disappeared before they had the chance. I go to the graveyard every day… there was something suspicious about the grave you were in… I had to check it… I'm just as surprised to see you as you are me."

Adam nodded. "I'm just glad you're alive, Mark… and I need your help. You see, I found Hiro."

Mark looked very surprised. "You found Hiro?"

"Yes… I told you I would one day… he trapped me in that grave… but I think I released the virus. I dropped that test tube before he teleported me. I guess we'll know soon enough if it was released or not." Adam smiled.

TO BE CONTINUED.

I liked chapter 3 but please explain how and why Jessica went to NY...

Amazing job so far, Rhysus. I am really glad that you are taking the angle that Jessica is back, and I love that she and Sylar might team up

@Citizen: If you go back to that 'chapter' you'll see that it says "New Orleans" under Sylar's name

She didn't, she was in New Orleans. Re-read it

Nice Chapter Good to see some sort of Jessica/Sylar alliance. Wonder who Mark is? And if he's a bad guy, that's four villians upto now. Can't wait to find out what are on tha other paintings.

Ah sorry, I didn't notice it.

Thanks for the comments guys. I wasn't expecting so much feedback, so it's a pleasant surprise .

No problems, it can be easy to gloss over those kind of things

@Rhysus: You're welcome for the comments, but the thanks should really be from us for giving us something well-written to enjoy during the current hiatus.

Maybe they'll look to your ideas for some inspiration

YES! Thats what i wanna see lol! sylar in control of elle's powers! yes yes yes! lol but you know they would never let that happen! bob would be the dumbest ****** alive if he sent elle after sylar without thinking like that and i dont think mohinder would let that happen either...

and another thing uhm.. doesnt caitlin have an ability?... i dont think that would be the end of her... just like that i mean...

1. No, Caitlin never had an ability.
2. I don't like Caitlin, so the whole 'she doesn't exist' was to get rid of her, even though it should happen like that in the show if they follow simple time-space continuum rules.
3. That's the end of her. Forever.

Hope I cleared that up.

Previously on Heroes:

Adam Monroe was saved from his grave by his old friend, Mark, whom he thought was dead. It turned out Mark had only gone into hiding. Adam told Mark all about his adventure with Hiro and how Hiro put him into the grave. Adam told Mark he thought the virus had been released, and they'd find out soon enough. Peter painted twelve paintings… the fourth painting was his mother being killed by Sylar… can he prevent this from happening?



CHAPTER FOUR: HISTORY

~ Forty years ago (1967) ~

Adam Monroe
Odessa, Texas

Adam paid for his beer and sat at a nearby table. He looked around at the strangers in the room, and kept to himself. He'd lived for 360 years. Friends had come and gone. He'd been through two world wars; god knows how many prime ministers and presidents; kings and queens. He was used to settling in on new surroundings. He found it amazing how in 300 years the world had progressed. Simple television for example, if he'd have seen one of those three hundred years ago…

Adam let his mind trail off into imaginative garbage and eventually came back from daydreaming a few minutes later. He finished off his drink, and took the empty glass to the bar. The barmaid thanked him and he turned around. Adam was taken by surprise when he bumped into a man and beer had tipped all down his shirt.

"My apologies…" Adam muttered. Adam walked towards the door of the pub when he heard a voice call him back.

"Oi!" The man shouted. "You tipped my beer… get me another one."

Adam turned around, but before he could even answer the man, a fist thundered across his face. Adam felt his nose break as he stumbled back. The man punched him again, and Adam held his eye in pain. He felt his eye was cut open.

"That's enough!" Another voice yelled. It was just a boy, no older than 16, but the fight stopped immediately. "Get out! Now!"

The attacker didn't argue and Adam found it quite amusing the drunken man had listened to a sixteen year old boy. Once the attacker left, everyone resumed their business and the boy called over Adam.

"Let's get you cleaned up." He said, and Adam followed him behind the bar. As Adam walked through, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"What's funny?" the boy said.

"I just find it amusing how that man immediately listened to you." Adam replied.

"Well, my dad owns the pub." The boy said, and Adam nodded. "Name's Mark, by the way."

"I'm Adam." Adam said. "Look. I'll be fine. Thanks for offering, but you needn't go through the trouble of cleaning me up."

"Nonsense." Mark said, already wetting a cloth. "Here." And he wiped the blood off Adam's face. Adam didn't know what to do. He just hoped Mark wouldn't realise the cuts healed… of course, he did.

"That's amazing." Mark said. "The cuts…they've gone."

"Well…" Adam chuckled, nervously. "I'm healthy, I guess."

"Oh, come off it. You can heal." Mark said. Adam was amazed how well Mark was taking it all in. "Come out the back, I need to show you something."

Adam followed Mark outside. Mark smiled, "I'm like you… I have a power too. I've never told anyone though. Watch." Mark stood on the ground and Adam watched as snowflakes fell from the sky.

"Ha! Look Mark, it's snowing." Adam gasped. "In July. Crazy."

"Hey doofus," Mark called. "I did it."

"Really?" Adam said, Amazed. "Then…make it hailstone."

Mark rolled his eyes, and seconds later it was hail stoning.

"Wow… I guess you are like me. You have a real gift." Adam smiled.

~ Present Day ~

Matt Parkman & Peter Petrelli
Manhattan

Matt looked over at 5/12 of the paintings. It showed Sylar with a blonde woman, outside a building. Matt recognised her.

"Hey, Peter… that woman, she's Niki." Matt called. Peter looked over.

"Oh yeah… she's with Sylar." Peter realised. "What the hell is she doing with Sylar?"

"Hold on… I think it's Jessica."

"Jessica?" Peter asked.

"This Niki… she has a split personality. Jessica. She's not nice. She threw me out a window." Matt explained.

"We find her… we find Sylar." Peter muttered to himself.

"Molly can help us look." Matt said. "But let's check out the rest of the paintings first."

Peter looked at Painting 6/12. It showed Hiro Nakamura sword fighting with Adam Monroe.

"Look at this." Peter called over Matt. "That's Hiro…fighting with Adam."

"Yeah, but look at 7/12." Matt said. "Is that Hiro?"

Peter looked over to see a Japanese man with a stab wound, bleeding on the floor.

"No." Peter replied. "That's Ando."

~ 35 years ago (1972) ~

Adam Monroe
Odessa, Texas

"Happy Birthday to you!" They all sung in unison. Adam applauded his friend Mark as he smiled to everyone. His 21st birthday. Adam was proud of Mark, one of his closest friends these days.

The crowd separated and talked in small groups and Mark came up to Adam.

"Thanks for coming, Adam." Mark said. "I know it's hard, with you being all busy with the company and all… I really appreciate it."

"It's no problem, dear friend." Smiled Adam. "But don't speak so loud of the company… you never know when someone from the company is around… if they found out about you, what you can do, you'd be in trouble… I can't let that happen to you." Adam's voice had almost turned into a whisper.

"Don't worry, Adam." Mark said, slightly louder. "I know I have to be careful. Come and have a drink with me."

Both Adam and Mark sat in the back of the pub, each with a beer. Mark took a big gulp and sighed, before speaking.

"Any news on Hiro Nakamura?" Mark said.

"One of the twelve… is called Kaito Nakamura." Adam replied, to which Mark nearly choked his beer on."

"Could it be a relation?" Mark asked.

"Maybe… Nakamura is a common Japanese name… and we've not known each other long… I have no information on his children yet. Only that he has one boy and one girl." Adam explained.

"And what if his son is…Hiro?" Mark asked, not sure on what the answer would be.

"Then I will do exactly what I promised to do to him. Anyone he comes to love, I will make them leave him. Anything he excels in life with, I will destroy it. I will make him suffer." Adam said. Mark continued to drink his beer.

~ Present Day ~

Matt Parkman & Peter Petrelli
Manhattan

Peter looked over at Painting 8/12. He saw himself, at the same building as he saw Sylar and Jessica. He looked over at Painting 9/12. It showed Sylar standing over Mohinder, who was protecting Molly. They were in an office room.

Peter looked over at Painting 10/12. It showed an old man, who he knew as Bob, and a foreign woman. They were in the same room as Sylar, Mohinder and Molly. Bob looked like he was shouting.

Picture 11/12 showed the foreign woman crying what looked like black tears, and everyone around looked like they were going to be sick. He then looked over at Painting 12/12.

The painting showed himself, Matt Parkman, Bob, Molly and Mohinder all on the floor, crying black tears. The foreign woman was standing up, looking terrified.

"Are we dead?" Peter asked, with an awe of shock.

"I don't know." Matt replied. "But this woman looks like she's caused all this. We need to find her and stop her."

~ 30 years ago (1977) ~

Mark
Primatech
Odessa, Texas

Mark was still in the alleyway, right next to Adam. Waiting for him. Adam said something about a virus. How he was going to release it. He told Mark to wait there. At twenty six, Mark could look after himself. But Adam was a close friend. One who he looked at for trust and protection. Since his Dad died a year ago, Adam was all he had.

He heard a woman walk out of the building on her cell phone.

"Angela, it's me… Adam tried to release the virus… no, he's been locked away… Me? I'm going home. I refuse to be apart of this any longer… Farewell, Angela." Victoria Pratt hung up her phone and entered her car.

Mark suddenly felt terrified. Not safe at all. Adam was captured. God knows how long they'd keep him for. He had no choice. Mark had to disappear. Fast.

~ Present Day ~

Adam & Mark
Tokyo, Japan

"So, why Japan?" Asked Adam.
"I'm not sure why," Mark replied. "I guess I just got drawn to it over the years.
Once I found out Kaito Nakamura was dead, I walked that graveyard everyday… hoping you'd come there… I wasn't even sure if you were out of the place they kept you."

"Well. I'm out." Adam replied. "Say, I haven't seen your powers in years… how about a small demonstration?"

"For you, my friend..." Mark said. "Why not?"

They both headed outside. "I must warn you, I have improved."

And the rain poured and poured. Mark stood in the glory of his power, as the rain flooded around him. In an instant, he made it stop. Adam smiled.

"Very impressive." Adam said. "Now, I think we'd better pay Hiro a little visit."

TO BE CONTINUED

... Very interesting. Some of the dialogue seems a little off for the characters, and in my opinion, it's a little too dialogue-heavy. Not too bad, mind, just a little.

Only actual gripe I have is that I'm not really digging the "Petrelli Twelve", so to speak. I don't see it happening near often enough to have that many that quick.

But other than that, it's actually really good. I'm enjoying reading it. I hope people end up enjoying mine as much as they enjoy yours.

I'm sorry if it seems a little unrealistic. I'm doing my best. I'm just not too good on the descriptive parts. Even though I think I did a fair amount of description in the last chapter. I hope you keep reading and enjoying.



Previously on Heroes:



Adam Monroe and his friend Mark have been reunited. Adam is now looking to go after Hiro Nakamura for revenge. What will unfold? Peter Petrelli and Matt Parkman have been trying to figure out what the paintings that Peter painted mean. Can they prevent anything bad from happening? Jessica and Sylar have formed an alliance and they both want to take down the company… will they be successful? Claude Rains has agreed to protect Noah's family, so that he doesn't have to kill Peter Petrelli… how will Bob react to this news? Speaking of Bob, he and Maya have set out to try and kill Sylar. Will they get to him?



CHAPTER FIVE: DEATH



Claude Rains & Noah Bennet

Costa Verde, California




Noah Bennet and Claude Rains entered the house. Noah saw that his family were at the dinner table. He entered the room. The family looked up at him.



"OK, everybody listen." Noah started. "I've decided to stay away from the company. I can keep you guys safe and I'm going to take down the company once and for all."



Sandra stood up, "And how can you keep us safe?"



Noah looked over at Claude, "My… acquaintance here is going to keep you safe, his name is Claude… he can make you invisible." Noah explained, "I'm going to Bob now, I'm telling him I'm finished with the company once and for all."



"No Dad!" Claire shouted, "It's too dangerous."



"I know it is." Noah replied. "This is why I'm getting help."



"Who's going to help you?" Lyle asked.



"Peter Petrelli."



Peter Petrelli & Matt Parkman

Manhattan



The paintings had been all stuffed into one corner. Peter and Matt had slept. The morning broke and both men were up. Peter looked over at one of the paintings. 4/12. His mother was on the floor, dead. He had to prevent that from happening. Peter's cell phone rung. He looked down as 'Noah' appeared as the caller.



"Noah." Peter said answering the phone.



"Listen, you and I need to take the company down once and for all. We have to go to the company right now, and kill Bob." Noah said. There was a brisk moment of silence.



"I can't." Peter stated. "I have to save my mother from being killed by Sylar."



"How do you know that's going to happen?" Noah asked.



"I painted it." Peter replied. "I was painting 12 paintings all day yesterday. A series of events that are going to happen."



"Like Isaac's series of eight. I see." Noah said. "You can teleport, come and get me, we need to talk."



Bob Bishop and Maya Herrera

New Orleans



"OK, Maya… he's meant to be here. In this street. But that was hours ago. Now he could be anywhere. We need to look for him." Bob explained.



"I understand." Smiled Maya. She held her gun hidden but ready for use.



They walked through another street. Several people were walking around in the early morning. As the got toward the end of the street, there was a small lane. They entered the lane.



"Get ready." Bob whispered. They entered the lane and Bob looked across to a wall. It looked heavily scorched.



"He's been here." Bob said. "Look, that wall… only one of his powers can make burn marks like that on the wall. Let's keep looking."



Adam Monroe & Mark

Tokyo, Japan



Adam wasn't happy. He had checked all the channels on television. No word of any virus or infection. "Maybe it just hasn't been noticed yet?" Mark suggested.



"No. A virus that volatile would have infected hundreds of thousands by now. It should be on the news everywhere. It's not… someone must have stopped the virus from being released." Adam explained.



"So, what now?" Mark asked.



"I need to collect something in Odessa, Texas." Adam told Mark.



"Texas?" Mark asked.



"Yes. I know it'll take a while but we need to go to Primatech. There's a key there of great importance. I need it. It opens a secret safe right here in Japan. I tried to retrieve it before but Hiro stopped me." Adam said.



"What's in the safe?"



"They key was forged by Kaito Nakamura. The safe holds something created by Kaito. Something that can make me a lot more powerful than I am now. I need it first. Then I can see Hiro Nakamura." Adam explained.



"Then let's go." Mark replied.



Peter Petrelli, Claude Rains and the Bennets

Costa Verde



Peter appeared in the house. Claire embraced him as he appeared. Peter hugged her back and they shared a moment.



"We thought you were dead… for such a long time." Claire smiled, almost crying.



"OK, we really don't have time for reunions." Noah interrupted. "Claude, I trust you with my family's lives. Take care of them. Peter, let's go." And they vanished.



Peter and Noah reappeared at Manhattan. Matt stood up.



"Noah!" Matt greeted him.



"OK, let's look at these paintings."



Sylar & Jessica

New York



"So why are we here again?" Sylar asked.



"Angela Petrelli. She's one of the founders of the company. She can tell us where the company is." Jessica replied.



"I thought you knew." Sylar said.



"No. Niki knew." Jessica replied. "Angela lives in Manhattan. I know that much."



"Well then, let's go look for her." Sylar said.



"Ye—Wait, there's no need." Jessica smirked, looking across the road. "There she is."



Across the road, Angela Petrelli walked through the street. Jessica walked up to her, and Sylar followed. Without warning, Jessica knocked out Angela and lifted her up over her shoulders, as they walked into an alleyway.



"OK." Jessica said. "Now we need to wake her up."



"That shouldn't be a problem." Smirked Sylar, and zapped Angela with enough voltage to wake her up. As soon as she was awake she started screaming.



"Shut up!" Sylar hissed. "If you want to live, you'll shut up right now!"



Angela did as she was told. "What do you want?" She muttered.



"Where is the company? We know you are a founder." Sylar asked. Angela shook her head.



"I-I'll never tell." Angela stuttered. Sylar grunted and zapped her some more, as she let out a terrible shrill scream. "Where is the company located at?"



"H-here…in New York. Brooklyn. I hope you know you'll never get away with this!" Angela said, terrified. "Our powers will not be taken by a sick man like you!"



Sylar looked taken aback. "'Our' powers, you say?" He smirked. "Let's see what's in that little brain of yours."



Adam & Mark

Primatech

Odessa, Texas



Several hours of travelling got Adam and Mark to Odessa. They were deep inside Primatech.



"Not very good protection here." Mark commented.



"Not long ago, a friend and I destroyed this place. They obviously haven't fixed it up yet." Adam replied. "Getting down here was easy enough. Now it's just a case of reopening the safe."



"That's no problem." Mark smiled, and a bolt of lightning came from nowhere and sparks flew everywhere. The door swung open.



"Thanks." Adam muttered, and both men entered the room. "It's up here." Adam said and he picked up the key. Its golden engravings shined back at him.



"That's it?" Mark asked. Adam nodded.



"Let's go back to Japan." Adam and Mark walked out of the safe, and back up the corridor. But they stopped in their tracks. Hiro and Ando stood in front of them.

"Who's this?" Asked Mark.



"This friend… is Hiro Nakamura." Adam said to Mark, he looked back to Hiro. "Hello, carp."



"You have something that belongs to my father." Hiro started. "When I noticed you escaped the grave, I followed you. I guess the only way to get rid of you, is to kill you."



Hiro threw Adam a sword, and he caught it in his hand.



"You can try, old friend." Adam said, "You can try."



Sylar & Jessica

New York



"The way you cut her head open… that was disgusting." Jessica said. There was a glint in her eye. "I love it."



Sylar however, didn't seem so happy. "It was a waste of time. She had no powers. I can't believe it."



"Is that all you care about?" Jessica groaned. "We know where the company is… let's go stop it."



Noah Bennet, Matt Parkman & Peter Petrelli

Manhattan



"This painting." Noah said, pointing at 3/12. "If Adam gets a hold of this key, your mother's death will be the least of your worries."



"So what do we do?" Peter replied.



"We go to Odessa… if the key is gone, we're in trouble."



TO BE CONTINUED

keep posting more i am lovin it

and more action please

Things are still looking really good, and I am still enjoying the story.

I am not sure how keen I am to see the prophetic paintings make a return, but you seem to be cycling through them quickly which should be good.

I liked your reveal that Angela doesn't have powers, and was simply a manipulative Lady

It was also great to see some more Sylar and Jessica action, but I am just partial to Jessica anyway


Everything from the last two chapters flows really nice with the rest of it, and it's good to see that you'll make good use of just about everyone, and I love that you're introducing a character with a power I long have wished was used on the show!

Keep up the great work!

Yay, Mama Petrelli is dead! Great two chapters. Love how Jessica loves the way Sylar kills

The paintings are going by fast I must say. And looks like Maya will do some damage Hope you don't kill her off.

keep posting

NOW !






pleeaing

Previously on Heroes:



Adam Monroe and Hiro Nakamura were about to engage in a sword fight. What will happen? How will Ando and Mark is involved? Claude has hidden Noah’s family while Noah, Peter and Matt investigated the paintings. Noah told them that if Adam has the key, which he does, they are all in trouble... What will happen? Sylar killed Angela Petrelli, only to discover she had no power. However, he and Jessica now know where the company is located.




CHAPTER SIX: SURVIVAL



Hiro & Ando, Adam and Mark

Primatech

Odessa, Texas



Adam swung his sword. Hiro matched the strike and both swords collided. They continued to fight.



“Doesn’t this seem familiar, carp?” Adam shouted, as he crashed his blade with Hiro’s.



“This time, I will finish the job properly.” Hiro stated, to which Adam laughed. He drew back his sword. “Like I said, you can try.” And his sword came back down into battle.



Ando looked over at Mark. The man looked to be in his fifties with grey hair. Ando thought he could take him. Ando walked up to Mark and swung a punch. Meanwhile, Hiro dropped his sword. Ando swung, but Hiro stepped back. Mark stumbled back after taking a punch, and then threw a strong wind at Ando. Ando fell back, and Adam’s sword went straight through his back.



“Ando!” Hiro screamed, as Ando yelled in writhing pain. Adam withdrew his sword and Ando collapsed to the floor, a pool of blood surrounding him. Hiro concentrated and stopped time. Ando’s blood stopped pouring instantly, and Adam’s sword stopped just above Hiro’s head.



Hiro pulled back Ando and cleaned his wound. A huge gash through his back and out the front was there. Hiro ripped off his shirt sleeve and tied it around the huge gash. Hiro felt a sudden surge of anger. He decided he would make Adam suffer while he had the chance.



Hiro lifted his sword, and cut Adam’s arm clean off. What would usually be a scream of pain was silent. Hiro resumed time and Adam screamed as the pain caught up with him.



“You son of a b itch!” Screamed Adam.



“You will be killed today, Takezo Kensei!” Hiro replied. Adam though, between winces of pain, started to chuckle.



“You can’t beat me, Hiro… when are you going to realise that.” Adam said…and a limb sprouted from the cut arm… within seconds, his arm was fully formed. His hand had no fingernails… just five newly grown fingers. Adam slowly moved his hand around.



“Impossible!” Hiro gasped.



“No my friend…not for me.” Adam replied, smirking. And Adam picked up his sword, as the two warriors continued to do battle.





Sylar and Jessica

Brooklyn, New York



Sylar and Jessica stood outside a large building. Jessica smiled.



“I recognise this as the building we were in. I came out in the corridor, but some doctor tazered me.” Jessica explained. “This is it. You ready?”



“Am I.” Sylar replied. Both of them entered the building. Meanwhile, 4 floors up, in the office of Bob Bishop, Mohinder and Molly sat down. Mohinder was watching the CCTV and a look of horror spread across his face as he saw Sylar entering the building.



Mohinder picked up his cell phone. He dialled a number.



“Bob, where are you?” Mohinder said on the phone. “New York… then get here quickly… Sylar and Niki have just walked in… I don’t know, maybe it’s Jessica… but hurry up!”



Four floors down, Sylar grinned. “I can hear an old friend… he’s on the fourth floor.”



“How can you hear him?” Jessica asked.



“Super hearing.” Sylar replied. “He’s phoning for help… he’s going to bring Bob right to us.”



Hiro and Ando, Adam and Mark

Primatech

Odessa, Texas



Adam and Hiro continued to fight. Suddenly, three men appeared. Peter, Noah and Matt transported to the room.



“Ah… I see you’ve brought some friends!” Adam said. “Hi Peter – Long time, no see!”



“You lied to me, Adam!” Peter said and threw Adam against the wall with TK. Adam dropped his sword. Noah lifted his gun at Mark.



“Move a muscle and I’ll kill you right here, right now!” Noah shouted, to which Mark put his hands up.



“Be careful, he has great power.” Hiro told Noah. “He can make weather!”



Noah nodded. Matt walked up to Adam. He read his mind.



**I have the key… I just need to get out of here.**



“He has the key.” Matt stated, to which Adam shot a look of hatred at him. “Mind reader, eh? How cute! Aaaah!”



Peter had used TK to break Adam’s hand. Of course it healed, but he still felt the pain. Adam turned to Peter. “Now, now… let’s not get angry.”



“You lied to me! You used my brother to get to me! Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t kill you now!” Peter screamed. Adam laughed.



“When are you people going to learn? YOU CAN’T KILL ME! I AM INVINCIBLE! AND THE QUICKER YOU GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS, THE BETTER!” Adam screamed. He breathed heavily and looked around. “You’re all useless, pathetic pieces of crap!”



*Bang! Bang! Bang!*



Three shots plummeted into Adam’s head. His head oozed with blood. Adam collapsed to the floor and Noah put his gun down. “And you’re dead.”



“No!” Mark screamed. He unleashed a monster of a wind which blew everyone in the room. Mark made it rain ferociously and kept the wind blowing.



“You killed Adam! I’ll kill you!” Mark screamed. The room was already half filled with water. Peter swam underwater and grabbed Noah, who was unconscious. He swam over to Matt and looked over to Hiro. Hiro grabbed Ando and disappeared. Peter then disappeared.



“No!” Mark screamed, and evaporated the water with bright sunlight. He looked over at Adam’s limp body and picked him up. He pulled the bullets out of Adam’s head and waited.



“C’mon Adam, heal!” Mark begged, but he didn’t. Three shots through the head. His brain was dead. Mark held his long time friend and looked at his dead body. Adam was defeated.



Peter, Noah, Matt, Hiro and Ando

Manhattan



All five of them reappeared in the Manhattan household. Hiro looked over to Peter.



“I must take Ando to the hospital… I must save him!” Hiro told Peter, Peter nodded and Hiro disappeared. Peter and Matt turned to Noah. Matt checked his pulse, and then checked if he was breathing.



“We have a problem. He’s swallowed a lot of water. He’s not breathing!” Matt gasped.



TO BE CONTINUED.



Yes, this chapter was short but it was only going to be based mainly on the fight between Hiro and Adam. The next chapter will be long, so I hope you look forward to it.

loved it sooooooooo much
only one thing

i wanted hiro to kill adam but cant complain still rocked

thank you

Thanks for the continued support guys. I should have Chapter Seven up by tomorrow. (It's a big chapter)

Wow, I didn't expect you to kill Adam so soon...but you did it great! I was also hoping Hiro would have made use of his ability to kill Adam, but Noah's pretty badass so it's an even trade, lol.

Everything's looking to be set up for a massive encounter...can't wait

Previously on Heroes:

Adam Monroe was killed by Noah Bennet. His friend Mark attempted to flood Noah, Peter, Hiro, Matt and Ando but they all escaped… the only thing they couldn't get was the key that Adam had taken from the Primatech factory. Jessica & Sylar arrived at the Company Building. Mohinder alerted Bob and Maya. Will they get there to save Mohinder and Molly in time? Ando got stabbed, and Hiro rushed him to hospital, will he survive? Noah swallowed a lot of water and stopped breathing, will he survive?



CHAPTER SEVEN: THE SAFE

Peter, Noah and Matt
Manhattan

"C'mon." Said Peter. "Let's take him to a hospital." Peter teleported the three of them to the hospital. When they reappeared, Peter carried Noah to a doctor.

"He's not breathing. We need help." The doctor nodded and placed Noah on a bed. Several more doctors came and took Noah away too. Peter and Matt sat down. A few minutes later, Hiro came into the waiting room.

"Hiro!" Peter called. Hiro saw them and came over. "How's Ando?"

"He's in a critical condition." Hiro said. "The doctors said it was touch and go."

"Let's hope he's OK." Matt said. "Noah has been taken by the doctors as well."

"Guess we'll just have to wait." Peter said, and there was a silence following.

Mark
Primatech
Odessa, Texas

Mark was crying. For thirty years he was all alone. His only friend captured. Now his only friend was dead. And it was his fault. He should have stopped Noah from shooting him. He should have drowned that stupid son of a b itch.

Mark opened his hand. At least he still had the key. He moved the key around his hand, and read the inscription.

"Godsend."

He read it over and over as he turned the key in his hand repeatedly. He had decided he would go to Japan and open the safe himself. He would do what Adam wanted to do. He would start what Adam finished. Then he could kill Hiro Nakamura.

Hiro Nakamura. How he loathed Hiro. And he'd only met him once. But he had given his friend so much pain. He would get revenge for Adam. Mark stood up, and slipped the key into his pocket. He walked out of the corridor and made his way out of the Primatech building. It was time he went back to Japan.

Hiro, Matt and Peter
Manhattan

The next few hours were very quiet. No word from any of the doctors on how either Noah or Ando was. The three men had no choice but to just sit and wait. After a couple of hours or so, a doctor came into the room. He walked towards the three men and they all stood up.

"Noah Bennet." He said, and Hiro sat down. "He's breathing. He's alive… but he's very weak. He says he wants to speak with Peter."

Peter nodded and followed the doctor to the room. He went up a few corridors until the doctor came to a door. Peter thanked the doctor and entered the room. Noah looked over and saw Peter. He smiled.

"Peter… Thank you… you saved my life." Noah said.

"Anytime." Peter replied. There was a small silence, but not an awkward one. Noah spoke next.

"I need you to go to the company. It's in Brooklyn. Go there, and take Bob out." Noah said. "You take Bob out, you take the company out, you understand?"

"Yeah." Peter nodded. "I understand."

Peter started to walk out, when Noah spoke. "Oh, and Peter." Peter turned around. "I'm sorry you lost your brother."

Peter turned around and walked back to the waiting room. He walked over to Matt. "We have to go. Hiro, you stay here, wait to get news on Ando. Matt, we have to go to Brooklyn."

Peter & Matt
Brooklyn

Peter and Matt reappeared outside the company building. "This is it." Peter said.

"So what do we do?" Matt asked.

"We take out Bob… it's the only way to take out the company." Peter replied. Matt nodded and they entered the building.

Mark
Tokyo, Japan

Mark stood in the graveyard where he found Adam buried. He had the key. But he had no idea where to go. He needed an address or a place. Something that could lead him to where the safe is. He walked through the gravestones until he came to Kaito Nakamura's grave.

Rest in Peace
Kaito Nakamura
Beloved Father, Husband and Son
'The most treasured items are the ones that die with you.'

Mark read the grave a few times. Then he stopped. The most treasured items are the ones that die with you. That was it. He stood up, and made the rain pour. The Safe was in Kaito's grave.

Sylar & Jessica
Brooklyn

Sylar and Jessica reached the fourth floor. Sylar looked like he was listening for something as they walked through the corridor.

"In here." Sylar said. "I can hear them."

Jessica nodded, and with a simple pull the door ripped open. Inside were Mohinder Suresh and Molly Walker. Mohinder pulled out a gun and shot the six bullets. Sylar stopped them just by putting his hand out and threw all six bullets to the floor.

"Now, now, Mohinder… let's not get hasty." Sylar said, with an evil grin. "We're just going to sit here and wait for Bob to arrive… and then, he's going to die."

"Niki?" Mohinder asked. Jessica shook her head.

"Actually, it's Jessica. Niki is dead." Jessica revealed.

"You do realise you are infected with a virus…"

"Wrong again, doctor." Said Jessica. "Niki was infected."

Sylar looked over at Molly. "Well, look what we have here… you know, Molly, I've been trying to take your power for a very long time."

"No!" Mohinder shouted, and ran over to Molly, shielding her from Sylar, who stood over them both.

"You can't win, Mohinder. I'll kill you first, then I'll take her power." Sylar said, grinning.

"Not now, Sylar." Jessica interrupted "We are here to take out Bob."

"Why not do both? Kill Bob and the girl." Sylar suggested evilly.

"Is that all you care about? Getting more powers? She's just a little girl." Jessica argued.

"So what?" Sylar snapped back.

"So, if you want to kill her, you'll have to go through me first." Jessica said. And she grabbed Sylar and threw him against the wall.

Sylar stood up and took some breaths. "Big mistake, Jessica!" Sylar hissed and used his TK to lift her off the ground by her throat. Jessica gasped for air.

"Let her go!" Molly screamed.

"Make me…" Sylar said. "I've always wanted Super Strength!" He chuckled and stuck out his finger. Jessica's head started to cut open and she screamed in pain.

"Stop!" A voice shouted. Sylar stopped slicing and looked over his shoulder to see Bob and Maya. He threw Jessica against the wall.

"What if I don't?" Sylar asked.

"You killed my daughter!" Bob screamed. "I'm going to make you suffer!"

Suddenly, Sylar was thrown across the room by a force. Peter and Matt entered the room. Bob turned around to see Peter, but he was thrown up against the wall by Peter.

"What are you doing?" Bob asked, terrified.

"I'm here to kill you…and finish off this company." Peter replied. Sylar got to his feet but Peter used his other hand to put Sylar up against the wall.

"And you…I'm here to stop you killing my mother." Peter said to Sylar. But Sylar burst out laughing.

"Stop me? She's already dead!" Sylar shouted, and Peter tightened his grip on Sylar's throat."

"Then you're going to pay!" Peter shouted. Bob gasped for breathe, "Peter… Sylar's the bad guy… not me."

"You got my brother killed!" Peter screamed. "Noah, Matt and I are going to take down this company!"

"Noah?" Bob gasped. "Are you really that stupid Peter? Noah killed your brother! Because I told him too!"

"You're lying!" Peter shouted. Matt read Bob's mind.

**Noah killed Nathan, and now he's trying to get out of it by helping Peter.**

"Peter, he's not lying!" Matt said. "I just read his mind."

Maya started to cry. "Stop it, Peter, please!" She gasped. "Let Bob go!"

"He killed my brother… now I'm going to kill him!" Bob choked for life when Peter squeezed the grip even more.

"No! Stop it!" Maya screamed. Suddenly, black tears started forming from her eyes.

"Peter, you have to stop it!" Mohinder shouted, "She'll kill us all!"

Peter, however, had already dropped Bob and Sylar and held his own throat. Molly screamed as black tears emerged from her eyes. Mohinder's eyes also blackened.

"Maya, please calm down! You're going to kill us all!" Mohinder cried.

Sylar, Jessica, Molly, Mohinder, Matt, Peter and Bob all held their throats and gasped for breathe as they all were slowly dying.

"Maya!" Sylar gasped, barely a breathe left. "Stop it!"

Maya tried to hold her tears back, but she couldn't. All her anger and upset had built up and she could no longer contain it. She watched as her friends, enemies and complete strangers were dying, including an innocent little girl.

Maya gasped. She had to stop this… she started taking deep breaths and the black in her eyes slowly faded. Everyone else slowly got their breath back, and started to recover.

Sylar was the first to get to his feet; he threw Maya against the wall, knocking her unconscious. He turned to Bob and electrocuted him. Bob screamed in agony and fell unconscious. Sylar lifted Peter and threw him against the wall too. Peter fell to the floor and Sylar picked up Jessica.

"Now to finish what I started!" He hissed. Sylar stuck out his finger and continued to slice Jessica's head. A few seconds of shrill screaming, and then there was silence, and the top of Jessica's head fell to the floor. Suddenly, Peter got to his feet and sent a fireball towards Sylar.

Sylar avoided it and zapped Peter with an electric bolt. It sent him flying and slammed against the wall again. Sylar picked up Jessica's dead body and ran out of the door. Peter got to his feet and looked outside, but Sylar was no-where to be seen.

Mark
Tokyo, Japan

Mark used a huge gust of wind to rip apart the grass and mud. After a few minutes he could see Kaito Nakamura's grave. He pulled open the lid of the casket and was shocked at first to see the decomposing body. After the initial shock was over, he looked around.

He saw a small chest, no bigger than a lunch box. He pulled it out and got the key out of his pocket. He opened the chest with the key, and looked inside.

TO BE CONTINUED.

Gah! Jessica died!

Still good reading, though.

Sorry for killing Jessica...but it had to be done. I almost feel guilty now

I am glad you feel guilty!


Well, if it had to be done, then I suppose it's alright lol. Besides, I like this new potential villain in Mark...should be quite destructive

Previously on Heroes:



Sylar turned on Jessica and killed her. Peter tried to kill Peter, but Sylar escaped. Peter also found out it was in fact Noah that killed his brother Nathan. What will come of all of this? Mark found the box and opened it, what is inside? How will it help him in his quest to kill Hiro Nakamura?



CHAPTER EIGHT: THE CONFRONTATION



Peter, Bob, Matt, Maya, Mohinder & Molly

Bob’s office

The Company

Brooklyn



Peter looked around. Sylar was gone. He helped Matt to his feet and everyone else recovered. Peter saw Bob getting to his feet, and used his TK to hold him up against the wall.



“Look, Peter.” Bob said, now panicking for his life. “I know you are angry, but don’t do this. If you’re brother revealed the company to everyone, Sylar would be the least of our worries… there would be other people, terrorists for example, wanting to take our powers too… we had no choice. Nathan had to die.”



“There is no excuse for what you did.” Peter said, “You and this company are pathetic. I don’t need to reveal a company that doesn’t exist… so if I kill you, I’ll kill the company.”



“You don’t realise, do you?” Bob asked. “This company has helped you have as much a normal life as you could possibly have!”



“Normal?” Peter questioned. “My brother is dead, my mother is dead. I have no-one! How is that normal?”



“Angela was a trusted and respected person around these parts… I’m as sorry to hear she is dead as you are.” Bob replied. “Killing me won’t bring your brother back.”



Peter looked at the fear in Bob’s eyes. He couldn’t believe he was doing this. He was meant to be a nurse, someone who cared for others. He released Bob.



“I’m not going to kill you.” He said, and Bob’s face changed from fear to relief. “On one condition… you close down this company. Right now. You move on, and I never have to hear anything about how this company has destroyed anyone’s lives again.”



Bob looked to be in deep thought. He was certainly thinking about it. He sighed. “OK. I’ll shut down the company.” Bob stood up. “But you have to understand that someone has to help… people like Sylar… they are dangerous to all of us. Someone needs to be here to protect us.”



“We’re here for a reason.” Peter replied. “I am your equivalent to Sylar; I’m the only one who has as much abilities as him… I’m the only one who can stop him.”



“What about Mark?” Matt piped up.



“What about him?” Peter asked.



“We didn’t get the key off Adam… Mark must have taken it.” Matt replied.



“The key?” Bob said quickly. “What key?”



“The one in Odessa.” Matt replied. “Where the virus was being kept.”



“No!” Bob gasped. “No, no, no, no… if anyone has a hold of that key… you have no idea!”



“What?” Mohinder asked. “What is it?”



“That key unlocks a small chest… one which contains a test tube of a strain of the virus. Strain 145.” Bob said.



“You said we had destroyed every strain of the virus!” Mohinder said, standing up in rage.



“We did… this strain of the virus can’t hurt anyone. But whoever injects themselves with it will have Kaito Nakamura’s powers. He made the strain and it was his dying wish to have it buried with him.” Bob explained.



“And what exactly were Kaito Nakamura’s powers?” Matt asked.



“Where do I start?” Bob replied.



Hiro Nakamura

Manhattan Hospital



Hiro had been sat in the same spot for a while now. He just kept thinking that it was his fault that Ando was stabbed because he brought Ando with him.



“Excuse me, Mr. Nakamura?” A doctor said. Hiro looked up. “I’m glad to tell you that the surgery was a success. Ando is alive and well.”



A huge grin spread across the face of Hiro. “Yatta!” he shouted, and then apologised when several people looked at him with slight shock. “Can I see him?”



“Of course.” The doctor replied. “But he’ll have to stay in hospital for a couple of weeks. His wound needs time to heal.” The doctor led Hiro to Ando’s room and Hiro entered. Ando was sitting up. He saw Hiro and smiled.



“Hiro.” He called, in Japanese.

“How are you feeling?” Hiro asked, also in Japanese.



“It hurts a bit.” Ando replied. “What happened afterwards?”



“Adam Monroe is dead. He was killed by Noah. But the Weather man… he escaped.” Hiro said, and Ando looked slightly disappointed.



“Oh well.” Ando said. “Did you get the key?”



“No.” Hiro replied. “Chances are, Weather man took it.”



“Well, I know you can retrieve it Hiro.” Ando smiled. “For your father’s honour.” Hiro nodded.



Mark

Tokyo, Japan



Mark opened the box and looked inside. There was a small test tube of liquid inside. Mark examined it. Adam said that whatever was in the box would make him more powerful than ever. Mark assumed that the test tube was what he was talking about.



Mark took the lid off, and swallowed the contents of the test tube. Mark thought the liquid tasted like some form of Mouthwash. Mark stood up, not really expecting what was going to happen to him.



Sylar

Brooklyn



Sylar was standing in a dark alleyway. Laying on the floor below him was the dead body of Jessica, the brain now absent from her head. Sylar looked across to the opposite wall. It was only a few feet tall.



“Here goes nothing.” He said to himself. He threw a full force punch to the wall in front of him. His hand went straight through it. The wall collapsed. Sylar smiled.



“Perfect.”



Bob, Peter, Matt, Mohinder, Molly, Maya

Bob’s Office



“Kaito had a magnificent power. Water mimicry. Quite magnificent indeed. The ability to mimic and control water using the power of the mind. Anything water could do, he could do. He didn’t like to use his power much. He chose to stick to his reason as ‘we should not play god’ and other ridiculous things.” Bob explained.



Mark can generate any weather he wants.” Matt said. “If he gets hold of Kaito’s power too, he could be dangerous.”



“Chances are, he’s already got the chest, and taken the power by now.” Bob said, “And I’m guessing he was a friend of Adam’s.”



“That’s right.” Peter said.



“Well then he’s obviously going to try and finish what Adam started.”



TO BE CONTINUED.

Wow you have a real skill here, really entertaining and addictive, im counting on your rendition of villians untill the real thing comes out. Keep writing!

post ffs, ive been waiting 5 days now

Previously on Heroes:

Peter Petrelli let Bob live, but only if he shut down the company. Bob agreed too but explained that someone needs to protect the Heroes from people like Sylar. We also found out that Kaito’s power was Water Manipulation and Mark got hold of this power. Mark is now more dangerous than ever, with Weather Control and Water Manipulation… what will emerge from this new villain? Hiro Nakamura’s friend Ando survived a stab wound, and is recovering in hospital. Little does Hiro know the danger he is in, because Mark wants Hiro Nakamura dead. Sylar also obtained Super Strength and now he is also much more dangerous than he was before hand… will he ever be stopped? Claude has also been hiding The Bennet’s from the Company… but now with the company supposedly shut down, are they in danger anymore?


CHAPTER NINE: LIES

Noah Bennet
Manhattan Hospital

Noah Bennet lay on his hospital bed, hoping Peter would be back soon to tell him the good news. He wanted to hear that Bob was dead and the company were no more. Then he could be happy. Peter reappeared seconds later, and Noah all of a sudden felt a surge of excitement.

“Peter!” Noah smiled. “Did you do it?”

Peter turned around and looked at Noah. In a split second, Noah knew that Peter knew. He could tell from the way Peter looked at him. Peter knew he killed his brother.

“I’m sorry, Peter.” Noah said, quickly. “I had to do it… I had to protect my family.”

Noah was now up against the wall. Peter looked at him with a loathing.

“You lied to me, Noah.” Peter said. Noah looked down.

“I know… I’ve regretted what I did every second since I did it… but if I didn’t kill him, someone else would have… his death was inevitable.” Noah said. “Please… I have a family, Peter… please, don’t hurt me. I had no choice.”

Noah begged. Peter slowly lowered him, the anger built up inside him turning into grief and regret. Peter sat in a chair, and burst into tears. Noah looked at the broken man. He had gone through so much and Noah felt horrible he had caused so much of Peter’s pain.

“Did you get rid of Bob?” Noah asked. Peter shook his head, and Noah was crestfallen. “What happened?” He asked.

“I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t kill the man. He looked so distraught, so terrified.” Peter said, barely whispering. “I told him to shut down the company… that’s what he’s going to do. He’s not going to die.”

“Peter…” Noah replied. “Don’t you realise, you can’t trust him!”

“This coming from a man who killed my brother! I don’t trust anyone at the moment. I’m just trying to do what’s right, hurting as little people as possible!” Peter shouted. There was a silence. Noah couldn’t say anything against Peter because he knew Peter was right. Instead, he changed the subject.

“Ando is alive and well, I’ve heard.” Noah said, to which Peter nodded. “Just needs to stay in hospital until the wound heals.”

“At least no-one got killed.” Peter said. “But we have a much bigger problem… we didn’t retrieve the key. And Bob thinks Mark has already taken the key, got the chest and got the powers of Kaito Nakamura.”

“Then we are all in danger.” Noah replied. “This Mark… we don’t know what he’s capable of… he could cause some real problems.”

“Is it really that bad?” Peter asked.

“It could be deadly. This man has the power to cause floods big enough to destroy countries.” Noah said. “He has the power to melt the polar ice caps within days. Before, he didn’t have a reason to do anything like that… now he wants revenge for Monroe’s death… he as a motive.”

“Then we have to stop him.” Peter said. Noah nodded. “Yes, we do.”

Claude Rains and the Bennet family
Costa Verde

The family sat at the table. Claude had just walked through into the same room and hung up his cell phone.

“Have you heard anything from my Dad?” Claire asked Claude. He nodded.

“Bob said he will shut down the company… but your Dad doesn’t trust him… not only that, your Dad killed Adam Monroe. So you have to stay hidden.” Claude replied.

“Why?”

“Because someone who was friends with Adam wants revenge… and he’s powerful.” Claude explained.

“Noah’s in danger! You have to hide him too!” Sandra begged. Claude looked at the distraught on Sandra’s face.

“I can’t.” Claude said. “It would blow our cover. Noah can look after himself!”

“You have to help us, Claude!” Sandra shouted at him. “I know you hate Noah, but please!”

“No! I promised him I would keep you hidden no matter what! And that’s what’s going to happen!” Claude said arguing back, and Sandra backed down.

“I know you are all scared for your father, but I was his partner for years. I know he is tough, and I know he can survive this… he has a lot of people on his side. Peter Petrelli for one. And if anyone can help Noah, it’s Peter.” Claude sat down, and turned the TV on.

Mark
Tokyo, Japan

Mark walked through an empty field. He needed some sort of transportation. A car or something. He saw a small hut at the end of the field and a Nissan Versa. He smiled and walked up to the hut. He knocked the door of the hut and waited. After a few seconds, a man answered the door. He was a typical middle aged Japanese man.

“Hi…could I have the keys to your car?” Mark said in Japanese.

“What the hell? Who are you?” the man replied in Japanese.

“Wrong Answer.” Mark replied in Japanese and suddenly a bolt of lightning came down and hit the man. He collapsed to the floor, his face blackened from the shock. Mark checked his pockets and found the keys. He left the hut and entered the car. He took one last look back at the hut, and drove off.

Mohinder, Molly, Bob, Maya
The Company

“So, how are you going to do this?” Mohinder asked, Bob turned around looking confused.

“How are you going to shut down the company?” Mohinder asked. “How will we know you are truly finished with it.”

“I’ll sort something out.” Bob said, and continued to do paperwork.

“You do know shutting down this company needs to be done. The virus, the bomb… I know you are a good person Bob, but this company is doing nothing but making you bad.” Mohi9nder replied.

Bob didn’t answer him and continued doing paperwork.

“You are going… to shut down the company, aren’t you?” Mohinder asked, but Bob gave no reply.

Mohinder gasped. “You lied… you aren’t shutting down this company.” Mohinder looked at Bob, who didn’t look back.

“The Company needs to stay active. We can save people’s lives, and get rid of people who are dangerous.” Bob replied.

Mohinder turned and grabbed Molly. “C’mon Molly, we’re leaving. You too, Maya.”

“You aren’t going anywhere.” Bob said, looking up.

“Yes I am… give me one reason why I shouldn’t tell Peter Petrelli about all your lies.” Mohinder replied. Bob opened his drawer and pulled out a gun.

“How about this… you walk through that door, and I’ll kill you.” Bob replied.

TO BE CONTINUED.


I know this chapter was short, but it was another set-up chapter. I'd say around chapters 12 or 13 it will really start heating up.

Quality read so far, can't wait for further installments!

Nice

i like it keep writing.
