I don't know anything about their sexual orientation or the orientation of any other celebrities in this story (even though I wish some of them were gay). This story is fiction and you shouldn't take it for anything else but that. This is only for entertainment value only folks. Hope you enjoy the show oh I mean reading. Author's Note: This story does not fall into the regular X-Sync plot. This is a what-if spin off of the Paradox story line that appeared in X-Sync Tales. ====================================== X-Sync The Power Within Chapter -- 1 by JT Poole Back in the past, in the town of Orlando Florida, Earth's mightiest heroes originated there. From that place came Catastrophe, Blaze, Wildcat, Channel, Spirit, Echo, Pull, Vigilante, Tattoo, Jem, Power Girl, Cell and Incognito. A few years after Incognito and Catastrophe were married, the Fates along with the Elders of the universe removed Incognito from the reality causing ripples up and down the cosmic reality strings, creating a new universe where everything was completely different from the norm. // Orlando, FL -- What use to be Jive Entertainment -- 1996 A.D. // "No! I will stop you!" A young man shouts, clapping his hands together as a sphere of energy appears and he hurls it at the monstrosity before him. "DIE MUTANT!" The monstrosity speaks, reaching down to grab for the young man. "I think not Nimrod! You will not harm us!" The young man screams, holding his hands above his head as the hand tries to grab for him again. "No!" () In the shy above the giant monstrosity and the young man appears another young man riding on a horse made of fire. "You were warned Nimrod!" The second young man states, projecting beams of cosmic fire from his hands and eyes. "HALT!" The monstrosity speaks, projecting laser beams at the second young man. "No!" The first young man screams. `Firefox are you okay?' `I'm fine baby, don't worry about me. You know the Phoenix always protect me.' The second young man speaks telepathically. `Let's put an end to this. Nimrod must be stopped.' `If my magicks and your cosmic powers are not stopping this thing what can?' The first young man thinks. `Chance I am sensing other mutants nearby.' The second young man identified as Firefox telepathically says, flying by on his fiery steed. `Maybe they can help stop this thing.' The first young man identified as Chance thinks as there was a flash of light. `Was that you Firefox?' `It wasn't me. I am sensing that mutant presence closer now.' Firefox telepathically says to Chance. "MULTIPLE MUTANT SIGNATURES PRESENT!" The monstrosity speaks turning to face another flash of light. "What is going on?" Chance asks, creating a strange looking energy field around his body. "Take that you beast!" The new man says throwing beams of light at Nimrod. "Who the hell are you?" Firefox asks, appearing next to the new man. "Stay back!" The new man shouts, creating a sword made of light, holding it in front of his body that was glowing brightly. "Leave him alone!" The second man says, knocking Firefox out of the air causing his fiery steed to disappear. "The horse made of fire disappeared." "He looks like he's down for now. We must continue fighting TimberWolf." The first man says, creating a sphere of light and throwing it at Nimrod. "We must stop this thing before it destroys something else." TimberWolf, the second man says. "I'm trying Justy, but I think it's immune to my electro-light powers." The first man says, trying to avoid Nimrod's grabbing hand. "Eclipse look out!" TimberWolf shouts, ramming Nimrod's leg. "Owww!" // A Few Feet Away // "Come on baby wake up." Chance says, shaking Firefox gently. `Stop doing that Brian, you are making me dizzy.' Firefox says telepathically as he sits up in Chance's arms. "Are you okay handsome?" Chance asks. "I'm still alive. Come on." Firefox says, standing up as he creates his steed made of fire. "Are you sure baby?" Chance asks, being picked up with Firefox's powers. "I guess you are sure." "Yes I'm sure Brian. Nimrod is going to destroy this place if we don't do something to stop him." Firefox says. "You speak of that thing as if it was a real being." Chance says, using his powers to erect an energy field around his and Firefox's body. "Baby can you use the powers of the Phoenix to stop it?" Chance asks. "I have been trying Brian, but I think it has adapted itself to my powers." Firefox says. "What about if we pool our magicks together." Chance suggests. "I don't think we should do that baby. You know our magicks don't mix well." Firefox says as he and Chance are face-to-face with Nimrod. "There's the guy that knocked you down. Should I get him?" Chance asks. "No baby. They are trying to stop Nimrod too." Firefox says, as Chance hops off of the fiery steed. "Put me in his face Firefox!" Chance screams as Firefox uses his powers and positions him directly in Nimrod's face. "Mummoroo Kasana Lon!" "What the hell are you doing?" The man known as Eclipse asks, as Nimrod's body starts vibrating and shaking apart. "I'm trying to stop him." Chance says, as his hands start glowing and he projects beams of magic at the shattering robot. "Firefox see if you can destroy the pieces before he pulls himself back together again." "This thing can reform itself?" Eclipse asks. "Yes and if we waste any more time he's going to kill us!" Chance shouts out as he disappears and reappears behind Firefox on his fiery steed. "Did you bring me here Firefox?" "Yes I did Chance. I am sensing danger all around. I see...I see our deaths." Firefox says, waving his hands and causing TimberWolf and Eclipse to appear in front of him. "What the hell is going on? Who the hell are you and why are we floating here?" Eclipse asks. "My name is Firefox and this is Chance." Firefox says. "We are in danger here. We must leave and now." "We must stop that thing down there." TimberWolf says. "We can't stop it. It's going to reform itself and continue on it's path of destruction." Firefox says. "What did you see Firefox?" Chance asks. "I saw Nimrod reform himself and he creates an explosion that kills us all." Firefox replies as his eyes start to glow. "What are you some kind of psychic or something?" TimberWolf asks. "Yes I am a psionic. I am able to see a glimpse of our future and it isn't nice." Firefox says as his eyes stop glowing. "We must leave here now." "Firefox you say we are in danger. What about that thing down there. We have to stop it." TimberWolf says. "We don't have enough power to stop it." Firefox replies, looking down below them to see that Nimrod had reformed himself and resumed his path towards the center of town. "Fuck this! We are going to try. Come on Eclipse let's roll!" TimberWolf says wrapping his arms around Eclipse as they fly down to Nimrod. "Fuck!" Chance shouts. "We can't just leave them here JT. They will surely die." "I know Brian. We must help them." Firefox says as he closes his eyes and bows his head as his body catches on fire to create a giant fire blazing bird. "I'm Firefox, Cosmic Avatar of Planet Earth!" "Ah JT don't do that, you scare me when you do that." Chance says as he is enveloped in the flames created by Firefox. // Down on the Ground // "STOP NIMROD!" Firefox screams as he and Chance appears. "Well would you look at that, he can turn his body into fire too." Eclipse says, creating a sphere of light and throwing it at Nimrod. "My light spheres are not having an affect on him." "I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CAUSE MORE DESTRUCTION!" Firefox screams, floating up to Nimrod and projecting cosmic fire at the thing, knocking it backwards. "He's doing it, he's doing it." Eclipse says, flying down to where Firefox was to project his powers at Nimrod too. `Chance help me. I'm getting weak. I can't channel more power than this. The planet isn't able...' Firefox says telepathically, not exactly talking to Chance. "Hey Chance man! Something's wrong with him!" TimberWolf shouts, running over to where Chance stood. "He just spoke to me in my head." "Spoke to you? Why?" Chance asks. "He said something about he's weak. He needs you. Help him!" TimberWolf screams, pushing Chance in the direction of Nimrod. `Firefox...fox can you hear me?" Chance asks, using his powers to levitate himself. `Come on fox, you are still burning. I can see you, you are so bright baby, bright as the sun.' `Chance help me. I need you.' Firefox telepathically says directly to Chance this time. `I can't keep this level of power up. He's adapting to my power. Stop him Brian, Stop him!' "We have to stop this thing and now!" Chance screams, waving his hands, freezing time itself. "I must find a spell to stop this. Something's not right." Chance floats there in the middle of the air as a book, a book of power, old power appears before him. Chance opens the book and starts to search the book. Frantically looking for a spell, he turns to a page in the book he thought he would never lay eyes on. The page is one that makes reference to the legendary cosmic Phoenix. Staring at the page for what seems like an eternity, he passes the page, still searching for something that could help stop Nimrod. His concentration broken, time resumes and Firefox falls to the ground in front of Nimrod. "Hey Chance! Snap out of man! He's in danger. We need help here!" Eclipse screams, getting tired now too. "What are you doing man?" TimberWolf asks, jumping up to catch Eclipse as he faints, running over to grab Firefox before Nimrod's foot came crashing down on top of him. "Man snap out of it!" "Stop!" Chance screams, his voice echoing it seems throughout time. "What the hell was that?" TimberWolf asks, shaking his head. "I'm trying to save your friend here and your are floating there doing nothing. We need help! Get your lazy ass in gear!" TimberWolf shouts as Chance raises his hand in TimberWolf's direction freezing him in place. "I can't find what I'm looking for! There's nothing useful in here. Come on, damn it! What's the use of being a damn wizard if you have nothing to get rid of a mutant hunting robot!" Chance screams, still flipping pages in the book. "There, I can use this." Closing the book, Chance looks down to where TimberWolf was and sees Firefox laying next to Eclipse. He says some well spoken words and Firefox disappears from the spot he was in. "Now I need to stop Nimrod. I hope this spell works." Chance says, waving his hands around as his eyes start glowing. "Moraa bon cor dapra eii fmega gen" `Chance what are you doing?' Firefox telepathically asks. "Don't finish that spell." "I must baby. I must to put this right." Chance says as he turns his attention back to what he was doing. "ios hubba jyis kin lorri lorri mera noon!" "Chance No!" Firefox screams as he closes his eyes and uses his power to telekinetically grab Eclipse and TimberWolf to move them within his energy field. "You don't know what you are doing!" "I do know what I am doing. I am making things right, right for once in our lives." Chance says as the wind picks up and the day turns to night. "What's going on? What did you two do?" TimberWolf asks just as his body starts to change. "What's happening to me?" "What did you do to my husband?" Eclipse asks, grabbing Chance by his collar and throwing him to the ground.. "I don't know what's going on. This isn't supposed to be happening." Chance answers him as their surrounding starts to change. "What the hell is happening baby?" "I...I don't know baby. I think you created a paradox of some kind." Firefox says, eyes glowing. "How could I create a paradox?" Chance asks. "You used a forbidden spell. That spell has actually thrown this reality's balance out of alignment and another is cascading into our own." Firefox tries to explain. "Could you say that in English so that I can understand you?" Eclipse says. "I'm saying that our world is merging with another one." Firefox says, as building around them start to disappear. "We need to get away from here." "Ah where do you think we can go?" Eclipse asks, helping TimberWolf to his feet. "Chance bring back your book of spells." Firefox says, his eyes glowing as he levitates the four of them into the sky. "We need to get back to Castle Power and now." Chance says as the book appears. "Castle Power? Are you loony or something?" Eclipse asks as they all disappeared. // A Few Meters Away // "Where the hell is Castle Power?" Firefox asks looking around. "Things are changing too quickly. Well we have the book." "Good that's going to do us. You forget I am just a weakling without Castle Power." Chance says. "You know I draw most of my power from Castle Power." "Damn baby. No Castle Power, no power. This isn't good." Firefox says, closing his eyes and trying to locate Castle Power. "You guys are fucking crazy!" Eclipse says as he grabs TimberWolf, creates a sphere of light and pelts Chance, then Firefox, causing the field of energy surrounding them to disappear. "Fucking freaks, we are outta here. You should sleep for a few, by the time you wake up we will be long gone." TO BE CONTINUED...
