Nolan Reynolds' Vlogs

**Nolan Reynolds’ Vlogs** are a series of poor quality videos recorded by Nolan Reynolds himself on his phone during various events that range from superhero missions, to simply hanging out at school.

## Videos

#### **Video File 1: 04/25/19 - First Fight as Armenus:**

*You can see Nolan holding his phone to his lower body, only recording his face as muffling and shouting is echoed in the background…*

“I just spoke to Jason and told him that ‘Armenus’ is now my codename. To be honest, I don’t know if he likes it. He didn’t really give me a reaction.”

*You see Nolan lifting his head up at the action...*

“Alright, I’m here by this robbery. I hope none of the Rebels show up. I kinda wanna handle this myself.”

*You hear a crook laughing maniacally, as the screeching of a car’s tires takes over most of the sound. This is followed by Nolan lowering his phone, light muffling is heard for a split second, until he continues speaking, though the video itself is in darkness…*

“I’m chasing after the robbers right now on a rooftop."

*You can hear Nolan breathing in heavily*

"Those guys stole some stuff and are now driving away.”

*Nolan chuckles*

“Hehe. Like to see ‘em try.”

*You hear, what appears to be Nolan firing off at the crook’s vehicle. After this, you hear the car topple over and it’s side screech on the pavement until it rested completely lifeless…*.

*You now only hear Nolan’s voice*

“Alright, let’s get y’all outta this garbage.”

*Nolan grunts, then you hear the car crash onto the sidewalk. Seems as if Nolan threw the car off of the crooks*

*Police sirens get ever so closer to Nolan until a different voice is heard*

“We’ll take it from here, kid.”

*Nolan begins speaking*

 “Ight, see ya officer. Keep up the great work!”

*You hear faint muffling as Nolan reaches for his phone and directs it to his face*

“I’d say that’s a job well done, yeah? Surprised the cop guy didn’t ask who I was like they do on those shows. Speaking of shows, I gotta finish watching *The Office*. Anyways, I guess we’ll see what tomorrow brings.”

*The recording ends.*

#### **Video File 2: 05/03/19 - First School Vlog:**

*You see Nolan fiddling with his phone as he hit record. He had his head lowered, so it seemed as if the phone was on his lap.*

*Nolan's eyes widened and let out a very faint gasp. He lifted the phone from his lap and placed it in front of him on a table. The camera angle was slightly tilted upward. The phone was most likely leaning on something.*

"Okay so... strange day so far. This is... I guess my first 'vlog' thing in school? And surprise, surprise, it's not going too well. I'm also doing this vlog inside the cafeteria. Sorry if the quality is bad... yeah."

*Various students were babbling on behind Nolan, thus making it rather difficult to make out what Nolan was saying.*

"Joe didn't show up to school. It's not like him to miss or even skip if that's the case."

*Nolan pulled the phone closer to him and whispered.*

"Especially with a serial killer on the loose in the school."

*Nolan placed the phone back on whatever it was leaning on and began speaking in a normal tone.*

"Mr. Gerving was also acting pretty weird. He was happy, even though he's nothing like that. He's openly said he hates children *and* his job so..."

*Suddenly, you hear loud and quick footsteps making their way into the building. Nolan lifted his head and turned to his right. He gasped and turned back to his phone.*

"Be right back."

*As Nolan got up from his seat, other significant students such as Akito Kishimoto, Doug State, and Olivia Connors followed him. The camera stared blankly at an empty hallway, until Nolan, alongside Akito, Olivia, and Joe walked into the cafeteria after a few minutes, finally managing to hear what the five were saying.*

*You begin hearing Joe speaking, though breathing in heavily at the same time.*

"Yeah, my dad's car tire popped and I lost my phone. I had to run to school."

*Nolan began.*

"Just glad you're here, man. We were all worried."

*The bell ringing filled the entire cafeteria, followed by Akito speaking.*

"Okay, let's get to class. We can continue talking there if the sub isn't Gerving or Pisa."

*Nolan turned to his phone and picked it up.*

"I guess Joe's back. Y'know, besides Joe disappearing, this day has been pretty easy. It's usually not like that. I feel like something else is coming..."

*The recording ends.*

#### **Video File 3: 05/12/19 - Back from Prison...:**

*The recording began. Like previously, the phone was tilted upward, making it clear that the phone was leaning on something. Nolan sighed and stared at the floor for a few seconds until he shook his head and looked up at the phone.*

"I-I can't."

*He placed his palm over the camera and stopped the recording.*

*About an hour later, he tried again. This time, Nolan's eyes were bloodshot with water filling his pupils. He was sitting on a chair and behind him was an unmade bed, as well as various pieces of clothing scattered around the room.*

"I got back from prison..."

*Nolan closed his eyes shut and covered his face with his hands.*

"God... not again."

*He quickly ended the recording.*

*Not too long later, he turned the phone on again. This time, Nolan's face was red, tears were slowly dripping down his cheek, and simply stared at the camera.*

"Alright, I'm not gonna beat around the bush and act like I'm okay... because I'm not..."

*Nolan stared at the floor for a few seconds until he continued*

"When I got out, I tried to act like I was okay... but being in prison for a week. That changes someone..."

*Nolan covered his face with his palms for a while. The recording was silent, as it stared at an emotional Nolan. After five minutes he continued.*

"I don't wanna go back there. It was horrifying. I was stuck. I had nowhere to go. My dad was forced to give me up and wasn't allowed to talk to me. I don't wanna do that ever again."

*He clenched his teeth.*

"On a side note, the school was shut down. Guggenheim exposed himself for being the serial killer and was taken into the slammer. Should I even consider this a victory? How can I consider this a victory... I WAS IN PRISON FOR CHRIST SAKES!"

*The entire room went quiet until Nolan shook his head and ended the recording.*

#### **Video File 4: 05/14/19 - Still Recovering:**

*The recording begins with the camera angle being higher up in the air. Behind Nolan were trees as well as various large rocks and stones. The sound of birds chirping echoed in the background as well as the splashing of the warm water filling Nolan with a sense of pride.*

"So uh, I'm at my favorite part of the woods."

*Nolan chuckled.*

"Many might be saying 'Oh wow, Nolan Reynolds gets out of the house? Pfft, you playin',' but no."

*Nolan directed the camera away from him as he showed the river quietly jolt around as well as dainty ants roaming the floor for food. He turned the camera to the right and showed a cave right under him.*

"That's right, I'm sitting on a cave. Ain't that badass?"

*He paused and stared out at the distance.*

"I've never sat on top of a building before... and that's something I *can* do..."

*Nolan squinted his eyes and turned back at the camera.*

"Yeah, imma do that. Be right back."

*Nolan stood up and covered his palm over the camera, ending the recording.*

*A few seconds later, the recording started up again, this time with Nolan in his suit.*

"Alright, I'm on a roof now."

*Nolan chuckled as he pulled down his ocean-colored mask. Once he did, the strong wind began blowing through his dirty blonde hair.*

"I'm still recovering from what happened a few days ago. It's been really hard, as y'all might've guessed. I don't even know why I say 'y'all,' no one else is gonna see this."

*Nolan dropped his back on the roof and held his camera in the air, only recording his from his shoulders up.*

"I've been getting out a lot. When Nat would come over, she and I would usually take walks and just talk about different ways to cope. Whenever I'd feel anxious, she'd tell me to grab a stress ball and count up to a hundred, then do the same with the other hand. She says it helps your mind dwindle and stop thinking about the things that're making me nervous or stressed."

*Nolan sighed.*

"I don't really know what else to say if I'm being honest. This video kinda came outta nowhere. I just wanted to talk without sounding weird with talking to myself, I guess. Then again, talking to a camera is still pretty weird. I don't know, I guess that's it for now. See ya?"

*The recording ends.*

#### **Video File 5: 05/15/19 - Surviving a Plane Crash!**

*The recording starts with Nolan in his room.*

"Okay, so most of this took place in like mid-May. Crazy stuff happened, so, bare with me if I'm weirder than usual. I don't know why I'm acting like a Youtuber."

*He'd chuckle then the video would cut.*

*The video turns back on. On the corner of the screen is the date "May 15th." You see Nolan with the camera at a low angle, only showing his upper torso and face. He was walking into a room, wearing a dark blue jacket with backpack straps over his shoulders.*

"So we're going on a road trip..."

*He lowered his face and comedically grinned at the camera.*

"Let's get this bread."

*He plopped into a plane seat, buckled up, and continued speaking.*

"I don't really know what's going on. I came into the Rebels superhero hideout and Lucy and Jason told me they were going on a plane trip."

*He chuckled*

"You know what'd be funny? If this just went terrible. No joke, we might just end up like *Lost* or like Tom Hanks from *Cast Away."*

*A few minutes passed, though Nolan held the recording. Little to nothing of interest happened besides Nolan messing around with the comms.*

"I'm pretty tired. I think I'm gonna take a long ass nap. I've been listening to the *Spider-Verse* soundtrack while thinking about what we'll see in Emerald City... at least I think we're heading to Emerald City. Also, dad said that he'd kill Jason if something should happen to Lucy and me. Not gonna lie, I'd kinda love to see that. Anyways, I think I'm gonna end it here.

*The recording ends, until it's picked up again. You see Nolan's hair messed up, sweating. His skin going back to normal from glowing bright blue. His veins popping out with his face echoing in trepidation. The background behind him were various pieces of the plane scattered around the floor in flames.*

"We just survived a plane crash..."

*Jason and Aranza's voices are heard screaming.*

"NOLAN ENOUGH!"

He *turned to them and lowered his face to the camera.*

"I was right..."

*The recording ends.*

#### **Video File 6: 05/16/19 - I Just Wanna Go Home**

*The video recording begins with a shaky cam, as well as Nolan grinning happily.*

"I took a selfie with a **dragon** a few minutes ago."

*Nolan's grin grows from ear to ear.*

"I'm really happy... but I'm kinda missing home. We've been wandering around a desert for a while until some of us were poisoned. Then I was taken by an underground dragon, to only then take a selfie of said dragon. Speaking of which, by the time I get home, I'd probably put up the picture somewhere right here..."

*Nolan pointed to the right corner of the camera and only seconds after, the selfie that was previously mentioned appeared. Nolan, smiling, while crouching next to an unconscious dragon.*

"Pretty epic, eh?"

*The recording would end, though only to be picked up in a dark room with Nolan laying on a bed.*

*Nolan would begin to whisper.*

"We made it to a hotel to rest, but I can't even sleep. I've been trying to forget about my week in prison. Nat said to take a stress ball and some other things that I can do whenever I feel antsy. Like my drawing stuff."

*Nolan sighed.*

"I haven't even been able to draw at all. One minute we were going to Emerald City on a plane, the next minute we crash and are stranded in a desert. Then we're almost killed by a guy who can make fruits poisonous. Yeah, I don't know either. Then a dragon, which was pretty sick but still. I miss home. I want this trip to end fast."

*Nolan yawned.*

"Guess I just needed to let my emotions out so I could sleep. It's also like pretty late so I think I should try to rest up. I guess see ya in the morning?"

*Nolan shrugged and stared at the camera for a few seconds, until deciding to cut.*

#### **Video File 7: 5/20/19 - I Actually Did Something. Proud?**

*The video begins with Nolan, who appears to be sitting on a plane seat.*

"So this is probably gonna be a short one."

*Nolan would sigh and smile.*

"Guess what? I actually did something."

*Nolan would shake his head and chuckle.*

"Yeah, I fought a pretty cool dragon and... other stuff, but this one I think was the coolest."

*Nolan would slouch deeper into his chair.*

"Y'know those Stand people? Like the dragon guy was a Stand."

*Nolan would shrug and shake his head again.*

"I don't know either, but it's kinda cool if you ask me. Anyways, I was able to almost defeat a stand user dude guy thing. Okay, so there was this one guy that was almost like a living car? Sort of? Doug, bless his soul, tried to attack and race but he kinda... almost died."

*Nolan would look away from the camera and squint his eyes.*

"He didn't though, so I guess that's a good thing. Anyways, if it weren't for Jason, and the fact that if I defeated the car guy that I would kill the actual stand user, I think I could've singlehandedly beat him by myself."

*Nolan would smirk and get his face closer to the phone.*

"I think that's a job well done."

*The recording would end, until the camera would turn on once more.*

"Also, some guy named Ezra showed up. I don't know who he is, but everyone else was hella surprised so... there's that."

*Nolan would chuckle until officially ending the recording.*

#### **Video File 8: 6/22/19 - I'm a Leader:**

*The video starts and you see Nolan leaning on his bed.*

"Suck it, Jason. I'm a leader now!"

*Nolan would chuckle.*

"Okay so basically, I started a team with a few of my friends. We're called the 'Eagle-Eyes.'"

*Nolan would reach for a photograph from the floor. He'd show the camera a picture. An image of Nolan, Lucy, Saiyako, and Olivia standing beside each other.*

"This is from my room. A girl named Maddie took it. She kinda knows about our powers and stuff. Don't know how though."

*Nolan set the photo back on the floor.*

"I invited everyone to my house. Joe didn't show up though. I don't know why. Might text him later."

*Nolan would yawn*

"What else... oh right. I had to wipe that Ben kid's memory. He kinda found out that... Olive and Lucy accidentally killed two people. Hopefully, he doesn't catch on or follow us or anything."

*Nolan would sigh.*

"My birthday is in two days. Gonna be 17, yay..."

*He would look away from the camera.*

"I'm not really that excited. This is my first birthday without my parents being together. Oh well. Maybe they'll actually get me a dog like I wanted last year. A small male American Eskimo. We'll see how it goes, I guess."

*The recording ends.*

#### **Video File 9: 6/24/19 - Some Guy Attacked My Birthday Party:**

*The recording begins with Nolan in his superhero outfit. The wind is blowing across his dirty blonde hair, the background appears to be various windows. It seems as if he is on a rooftop.*

"One thing, I got a pet dog. My parents actually listened to me for once I guess."

*Nolan stayed silent for around a minute.*

"Besides that... nothing really interesting."

*Nolan would laugh, the laugh sounded clearly forced.*

"Best birthday ever. Jason and some of the other Rebels showed up. A lot of friends came. A lot of them. Got *loads* of presents. Had the best time ever."

*Nolan would let out another forced chuckle.*

"Love it. So great. SO GREAT. SO GREAT. SO GREAT. AMAZING. HAD THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER."

*The recording cuts.*
