The woman flew towards Ollie and knocked him to the ground, on his way down he saw that Fahrenheit was getting ready to swing an uppercut up towards him, partially in reflex his eyes flashed and suddenly pain filled the fiery man as wounds appeared on his skin, deep painful wounds, that slowly healed up but would leave him incapacitated, Ollie; able to hover just above the ground before hitting it, swirled up towards the nether empowered witch.
Indeed, it is time to get serious said Ollie with determination in his eyes. He concentrated and three beings of purest light appeared from nowhere, each one sending punches or illusionary rocks at the witch, each once sending her up further and further into the sky, Ollie followed her and then with a wave of his arm made her bleed uncontrollably, the blood trickling out of her then slowly began to return inside, however it was too late and she began hurtling towards the ground below. Ollie raced downwards and caught her laying her on the floor next to her brother whos final wound was just about to heal up fully.
Ollie looked at the silent, apparently telepathic woman and asked Who are you, and why would you make me fight? his arm rubbing his side where he had been hit quite hard by Twilight.
The woman looked at him nodding for a moment and then saying to him telepathically I am Forsaken Moon, I am able to control the minds of others. The reason I made you fight was to see if you were worthy to face the one known as Deaths Messenger
Who? he frowned,
The man of whom we spoke, we will require your skills to take him down, all will be explained in due time, for now we must depart, she darted her eyes at the recovering heroes, now rising to their feet.
Ollie nodded and the hero pair behind him got up. Forsaken Moon stared at the pair and nodded once more, and then once again looking at Ollie We will contact you when it is necessary, until then my child. Good bye. and with that the three disappeared and confused faces looked at him as he must of appeared from no-where, he returned to his seat and this time his thoughts on the task ahead. Instead of loneliness, he felt purpose.

Meanwhile upon the top of the highest building in Galaxy City stood a visage, it was not a ghost of sorts, but an ethereal essence shrouded in a golden aura, it was gazing down at the statue quite close by, staring at a spot where four young heroes stood talking, he glared for a moment and clicked his fingers,
Fantastic
more work for me
the mans voice was grave and down trodden, his eyes pin [censored] of white within purely black orbs
Master, I watched the boy, he fights well the new arrival was a short man, his hair was a purple colour, and he wore dark sunglasses covering his own eyes, he stood like a man with no purpose, slightly hunched, slightly stocky, he would have not looked out of place in the thug wing of the Zig.
I saw him, Kanos, I saw him
stated the grave voice unaffected by the new presence, He is nothing special, puts on quite a light show though.
Sir, I heard Moon saying she thought his powers were only an 8th of what they could be given training
Dont be a fool Kanos, the boy is not interested in being anything other then himself, he does not flash his powers around like most heroes
I dont even think he knows any other heroes, which is why those fools present a huge difficulty for me
Why
? Cant you just-
Quiet Kanos, if it were that simple I would have already done it! the visage lifted a gloved right hand to his face, and it began to shake violently, he pushed it down with his un-gloved left hand.
Things have become rather more complicated, sir?
It seems that way Kanos, my hand thirsts these days, as if it has a will of its own. I need to take life. At first it was a necessity, now it has become a need
Before I killed because I could, now I kill because I have to. the mans voice seems to give a small laugh and he stood on the edge of the building for a moment longer before jumping off.
Kanos looked down to see Deaths Messenger disappear in a shadowy puff of smoke.
I guess this means I shouldnt ask for a raise
? Kanos gave a light chuckle, looked around and took out a small beacon with a red flashing light on the top
I shouldnt think this will look out of place here

*Please comment folks cos I'll continue writing if people like it, I have to write the next chapter as I wrote this some time ago, I realise the beginning bit, being sat alone, is a bit lame in terms of the fact that I started writing this as something completely different and it just developed. Any suggestions, likes and dislikes are well apprieciated from a writers perspective*
*Author's Note: Any characters who's names are similar to yours are purely coincidental, I wrote this a while back but I intend to continue the saga if this is met with a wee bit of joy, please read and please comment*
He sat, alone, granted he was surrounded by people, running around trying to laugh and trying to come together, to be more then they were. More then likely they had filled themselves up with a tearing sensation, like one of those that makes you feel sad but happy, its hard to explain. So there he was, looking at it all, trying not to scream or cry out for attention, his psyche stuck upon two things, life and love. Okay, he thought What can I say, to make these people disappear? His loneliness a clear shining beacon amidst the society he was garnished in, flooded with people shouting and talking and laughing.
Oi! You, sat on that step said a voice, quite unfamiliar
Yes ? he said looking up clearly un-phased by the aggression in the mans voice.
What the hell do you think you are doing sat there? the voice seemed calmer this time,
Well what with this city being smothered in heroes, Im feeling kind of pointless. Now if you dont ind I have nothing to talk about, unless you can suggest something? He rose to his feet his eyes searching for the voice, all he could see were faces, innumerable faces, all with the same look etched into their eyes; one lacking purpose.
Oh I think this is a clever one boys and girls, perhaps we should cheer him up? the voice suddenly apparent behind his head made him squirm
Why dont you go away? he exclaimed, not sure why these people were there or who they were
The voice, the deep aggressive voice was now so much closer, but still not a view of what it was had come to be. And then as if by magic he was levitated in the air, suffocating, a hand around his throat, he begged, pleaded for whatever it was to show its self. And then there he was, a man, draped I a dark starry cloak, glittered with silver and gold markings and his eyes ablaze with oranges and reds, wearing a tight vest with small snakes of fire seemingly dripping from his skin. The hand now became excruciating around his throat, like someone was burning each cell away. No-one had noticed, and if they did, he was sure they would walk on and try not to effect the pair.
You said boys and girls ? Where are the rest of you? he said through a rasping breath
Here, boy HERE!!! the man seemed to anger at this, his eyes now more fiery then ever, and then the rest appeared, all unusually dressed, a woman that he had recognised as Dark Twilight and another woman he recognised but did not know the name of
Get . Out of . This city, you belong in the isles with the rest of the scum that escaped the Zig! His voice now painfully croaking, his chest gasping for air,
Show us Show us your power The female voice was eager, he noticed that she was holding in her grasp an orb of dark energy,
Sighting the opportunity he heaved a great gasp once more, starting to twitch under the pressure of the mans hand If you want to see what I can do . Put me . Down! and the man did so, the boy recovered his previous demeanor and once again the boy sat, quite confident but still breathing in deep gulps of the oxygen he required to carry on, his eyes now glowing a bright white,
Hmmm, you are not a native to Paragon then ? said the man looking like he did moments before, still blazing, his eyes showed anger but his voice showed mercy.
First, tell me who you are ? the boy asked slightly warily, his voice wavering, but showing a slight cockiness.
I am the one they call Fahrenheit, I am the will of fire and strength and who are you boy?! the man stood his ground and this time there was no way but to answer his question.
I dont have a name of sorts, they just call me Ollie said the boy.
Ollie? Well we have heard much about you, I know you could have stopped me from harming you in a second said Fahrenheit looking rather like Ollie was some sort of magnificent weapon.
I doubt it with a grip like that! Ollie slightly relaxed here, he was still unaware of these people and how safe he was around them. He was wearing citizens clothes and to use his full power here would be foolish . Unless
First, tell me what you want from me, and why you had to be so aggressive to get it? said Ollie his eyes now no longer glowing.
We had to see if you were who we are looking for! said Dark Twilight as she played wistfully with her hair, the orb now no longer in sight, You see, we require your help! she clicked her neck
Help with what? he said a bit confused
To help us, he paused unsure of how to proceed and then sighed slightly, find someone. Fahrenheit suddenly looked uneasy and he looked to the other woman for guidance, she stood there in silence but looked like she was thinking about something, she nodded to Fahrenheit and then smiled slightly,
You see, there is a man, with the ability to kill with but a touch of his hand, he stalks the city, finding us heroes and then touches us, either by a shake of the hand or a punch to the face, either way these things will either kill a hero instantly or incapacitate them for a long while.
And, what am I meant to be able to do then? said Ollie, bemused and at the same time intrigued.
You can turn invisible, and create illusions with your mind, am I wrong? Said the other womans voice, not aloud, in terms of vocal, but in his mind
You are correct, but how am I he was suddenly halted by the raise of the ladys hand and a nod to Fahrenheit
Show us, kid. said Fahrenheit, his hands suddenly turning into fists of flame, Dark Twilight had suddenly began hovering and powerful nether energies had surrounded her, and the lady simply stood back to watch.
Fine but shouldnt we ?
They cant see us kid, you have been invisible from the time you first sat down here smirked Fahrenheit
Well uhh, if you insist said Ollie rising to his feet.
He concentrated and was now invisible to the pair who looked unconcerned, suddenly the ground rumbled beneath Ollies feet and dark spores and arms surrounded him curling around him entrapping him. He struggled to move and then his eyes flashed bright white and he was in the air the arms unable to reach him, his eyes flashed once more and bright light surrounded the pair blinding them to a degree that it hurt to even have their eyes closed. Ollie created a large energy pulse that beamed around him and flew towards the pair, flinging them to either side of the steps on which he had been previously sat.
Hmm, nice move there time to get a bit more serious! Fahrenheit shouted and balls of flame encircled him and then absorbed into him as if granting him the energy to continue,
Indeed brother! smiled Dark Twilight her eyes now no longer clouded by the powerful light.
The woman flew towards Ollie and knocked him to the ground, on his way down he saw that Fahrenheit was getting ready to swing an uppercut up towards him.
