Chapter one
looking in the mirror I saw that I was dressed in jeans, and a red polo. Well I looked decent enough... Thinking over the events that had happened, I realized I should be more worried, but for some reason I wasn't. “Now where is a door?” I said frustrated, as the mirror glided along the wall revealing an entry way
“What the?” I said poking my head out the doorway. The door headed out to a street, so I carefully stepped out of the building and onto the street. Turning around, I found the building I was just in, was nowhere to be found.
looking around I noticed several specks against the light up in the sky. One came closer, and landed near me. The specks were aliens, or humans that could fly which I wasn't sure yet. The man turned towards me, and did a salute.
“haven't seen you around here. You must be new to superhero city. My name is Snake XZ, but please call me Snake. The XZ part is just designation.” he said. I looked the guy up and down. He was wearing a green mechanical armor, and carried a gun. What kind of police force allowed someone like this to roam the streets?
“What are you?” I asked the strange man standing before me.
“I'll just let you know that I'm what the scientists call a ultraviolet super. Basically I'm a hero. They discovered this like a year ago. By my scanners your a super too. So what's your power?” He asked. I backed up, “oh you didn't know... oh well guess you'll learn your powers soon.”
“Pheonyx! I shall get you!” a digitized voice said from all directions. All the civilians that had gathered around Snake fled, and although I wanted too run something wouldn't let me.
“There you are” a robot said descending from the sky. He seemed to be the source of the voice. Pointing at me, he continued “Pheonyx, I am here for YOU”
Stepping between me, and the robot snake aimed his gun at the robots head ”who are you, and what do you want with this 'Pheonyx' fellow”
The robot seemed too chuckle, wait can a robot chuckle? “I am legion, and I want Pheonyx because he is the last superhero I need”
“Well i'm the only super hero here, but my name is Snake, Snake XZ, and your toast” Snake said shooting the robot.
“Fool,” the robot said absorbing the energy beam the man had shot “The man besides you is my target.” he said charging something in his hand. Extending his arm quickly, he stabbed a robotic claw covered in the same energy into snakes stomach. The arm started to pulse as if absorbing more energy as the blueish glow became more red, and disappeared from sight. Removing his hand from snakes body, I noticed he left behind a blueish orb. It started to pulse, and quickly got to the point where it was flashing in nanoseconds. The ball exploded, and the body of snake seemed to disintegrate in the explosion.
“Now Pheonyx. It is your turn.” Legion said after the smoke from the explosion faded away. I scrambled for something that had fallen from Snakes wrist before the explosion. I grabbed what looked like a watch, and put it on. The watch beeped, and for a few seconds nothing happened.
“calibrated to fit new user” the watch said as a red suit covered my body. Flame designs flashed across the suit, and a belt wrapped itself around me. Under the belt down my legs, and around my neck the red suit became black.
“You found an optical. In my time you didn't have one Pheonyx. Oh well.” Shooting his hand, like I'd seen him do to snake, I thought about the name he had called me. Phoenixes were birds of fire, maybe that meant I had control over flames. That would explain the flames on the suit. “Fire” I yelled shooting a meager flame from my hands. the flame hit Legions hand, and the robot retracted it. Shooting another small ball i aimed at it's head hoping to overheat it. The ball struck, and he stopped.
"OVerheating my circuits?" legion stated plainly "too bad" he shot his arm again, and instinctively i put up my arms. Nothing came. Looking past my crossed arms, i saw a wall of fire forming in front of me. Slashing my arms down the wall flew across the ground covering legion. and to my suprise actually stopping him. The green light that flashed from his eyes faded slowly, until it came apperant he was gone for good. I took a step closer to him, and then fainted.
