Number Nine (Lorien Legacies)

**Number Nine**, also known as **Stanley Worthington**, is one of the ten Loric children who escaped from Lorien when the Mogadorians attacked and is one of the six remaining Loric Garde. He was about four when he left Lorien.

## Powers

**Garde Physiology:**Being a Garde, Nine possesses enhanced strength, speed, agility, endurance, and durability. He is possibly at the peak of all his physical attributes, as he was able to hold off Setrákus Ra. When fighting Six in the capture the flag game, it is said that Nine was overpowering Six, who is generally considered quite strong.

* ***Super Strength:*** Nine seems to be much stronger than any of the other Garde; he has broken through a Mogadorian forcefield and steel cages and has battled Setrákus Ra himself, although it is unconfirmed that this is a Legacy. This may just be due to his intense training with Sandor and while imprisoned in a Mogadorian stronghold.
* ***Super Speed:*** Nine is able to move at great speeds that make him appear to be a blur.
* ***Super Agility***
* ***Super Endurance***
* ***Super Durability***
* ***Super Reflexes***
* ***Super Senses***
	+ ***Super Hearing:*** Nine is able to hear for miles around him without close sounds being painful to him.
	+ ***Super Vision***
* ***Super Flexibility***
* ***Super Dexterity***
* ***Longevity***

**Telekinesis:** Nine possesses the ability to move matter with his mind, an ability that all Garde share.

**Legacy Transference:** Nine developed this Legacy when he was attacked by Mogadorians at Maddy's apartment. He used Legacy Transference to allow Sam to use the Lorien crystal which allows the user to have X-ray vision. He also used this Legacy to allow John to walk underneath a bridge in the West Virginia mountain, and Marina to walk up the wall of the lecture hall. This Legacy is comparable to the ability of the Xitharis stone; however, Nine does not have to "charge" his Legacy. He says that the effects last ten minutes.

**Anti-Gravity:** Nine can emit a field of anti-gravity around himself, which allows him to run on walls and upside-down. His anti-gravity does not activate through his prosthetic arm.

**Animal Telepathy:** Nine can telepathically communicate with animals, like Number Four.

## Equipment

**X-Ray Stone:** This red rock is placed between the knuckles and when the fist is aimed, it produces an X-ray to allow vision through objects.

**Green Stones:** These rocks can form a black hole to suck in and spit out anything.

**Spike Ball:** Nine has a spiked, small, yellow ball that is controlled with his mind. It can expand and take on the form of almost any type of ball and bust through steel doors. Nine can control anything from the ball's color to its weight to its spikes.

**Purple Pebble:** Nine has a small purple pebble that he can balance on the back of his hand where it disappears and returns when he turns his hand over.

**Sustenance:** Nine has this yellow cube that fills a person's stomach for a while when placed in the mouth.

**Bag of Soil:** Nine has a bag of soil from Lorien that can grow anything. This is one of the nine Phoenix Stones meant to restore Lorien.

**Red Crystal:** The same as Marina, Nine has a crystal compass that he can speak into in the hope that a Garde with a Macrocosm Earth can hear him. He speculated that some members of the Garde have the compass and others have the glass orbs that the compass transmits to.

**Pipe-Staff (*formerly*):** Initially, the pipe-staff looked like a plain silver piece of pipe but when used by Nine, it extends and is used as a weapon. Four described it as expanding viciously to become over six feet long, glowing red, and ending in rotating blades. On Lorien, they were used in jousting events. This was destroyed by Number Five.
