Lots of people were excited for this chapter.

Chapter 22; Alliance
------------------------------
Arriving back at his apartment last night, Mike adjusts some things after being gone for a couple of days. He looks at the calendar, and is surprised that it's almost November. He's about to turn the T.V. on to watch the news when his communicator beeps.
Mike: Stan?
Stan: Ohm, I need you to come to my place immediately.
Mike: What is it? Did you find out anything?
Stan: Possibly.
Mike: I'll be right over.
Mike hangs up, grabbing his suit he runs up to the roof changing and jumps off. Making his way through the buildings to Lee's house, Ohm senses the craft once more. 'Stupid senses are driving me crazy.' Ohm thinks as he searches the sky for the vessel. He spots it hovering near building and speeds off toward it again. This time the ship creates a small blue "hole" in the sky an flies through, with the hole closing behind him. Ohm flies through missing it. 'Not again'! After looking around Ohm decides to return to his previous mission and get to Lee's place. Upon arrival, he sees Stan standing outside and Ohm lands next to him.
Stan: How did it go?
Ohm: It wasn't easy. I've never encountered such power before and the symbols still send a shiver up my spine.
Stan: Any luck with deciphering them?
Ohm: No, the computer where I work nor my own knowledge have been able to translate these alien symbols.
Stan: (Taking a moment to think) Are you sure that's everything?
Ohm: (Looking at Stan's questioning expression) You've noticed that strange craft too huh?
Stan: (Nodding) I've seen it hovering by a couple of times, as if it was keeping an eye on something.
Ohm: Alexa...It's been watching every battle I've faced throughout my world wide journey to stop these symbols, multiplying creatures, sand beings, I even encountered psychics. That thing is observing us like experiments, the scariest thing is that the craft is faster than I am. (Stan looks up)
Stan: I guess now is as good a time as any.
Stan motions for Ohm to come inside, as Ohm walks in his sees Summer Hasch and Alexa Košava, sitting on the couch and William Litmir leaning against the wall. Stan smiles lightly, as the others look up and see Ohm.
Alexa: Ohm, you're back!
Ohm: More or less. (Turning to Stan) So this is what you were up to while I was away, training these guys to help me?
Stan: More like training these individuals to help you and in return you can help them.
Ohm: I see, (Thinks for a moment, and not sensing any distrubances) well since we're all good here, Ohm takes his mask off. My real name is Mike, I work down at the Police Station, it's the best way to get close to the action.
Stan: Pyra you know, (Pointing to Alexa) Alexa goes by Anemoi, (pointing to Will) and Will goes by Oxidro.
Mike: Anemoi?
Alexa: Anemoi are the names of the 4 Greek gods of wind, symbolizing the 4 cardinal directions.
Mike: Hm, ok, makes sense. (Turns to Will) Will, I thought you weren't going to use your powers?
Will: I was thinking about it, but it's kind of hard not to want to. I mean, you're given a gift, why not use it? By the looks of things out there you might need help.
Summer: You seem a little thoughtful though, you don't mind being on a team do you? We were kind of wondering about that...
Mike: Well I have to admit, I'm surprised. But, I think together, we'll make a team that can truly be reckoned with, and with Stan watching our back, the six of us will defeat whatever is going on here.
Alexa: Six of us?
Mike: (Smirking) Yup, I need to make a call, hold on.
Mike pulls out the lighting bolt communicator and press the button. The top of his communicator flashes red, then he cycles down to #3 and presses it again. About 2500 miles away, on the west coast, a man walks into his office and sits down. He notices a note on a stack of papers on his desk. 'Progress reports are on your desk. See Jimmy when you're ready to take off.' Sighing, he grabs the stack and puts it in his bag. His side starts to beep, and looking up at the ceiling he asks, 'Why are you torturing me so?'. As he grabs his cell phone he notices that it's not even on, looking through his bag he pulls a lightning bolt communicator--flashing red. Instinctively he knows what he must do, he drops his bag, taking the communicator and pulls a book half way out of the bookcase to his left. The case opens half way to reveal separate bags, grabbing the biggest one, he closes the door and makes his way to the launch site.
Ron: Marie? Reschedule all appointments for the next two days including today please, something urgent has come to my attention.
Marie: Yes sir.
Pilot: (Ron walks out onto the launch site) Should have an easy flight sir.
Ron: Change of plans Jimmy, we're taking the other plane.
Jimmy: The A700?
Ron: Nope, the OTHER plane.
Jimmy: (Noticing the stressed word) Ahh...ok then.
Jimmy and Ron walk over to one of the plane garages. Opening it, the two walk inside and Ron set's his bags down, and heads over to a control panel in the middle of the room. Ron, places his hand on the panel and a blue light scans for finger prints. A small optical like ball rises from the panel and does a retina scan. The ground rumbles and shakes as the floor in front of the two opens up a small doorway leading into a basement area. Out side of the doorway, a sign is imprinted upon the two doors.
Jimmy: You always said, when you build a jet, make sure it can fly, anywhere.
Ron: Through rain, sleet, snow, or space. New York, here I come.
