Chapter II

**Chapter II**

Hours have passed as Bren catches rest on a bus as it enters the state of Michigan. The high way junction into Detroit is blocked by a new inspection checkpoint to which wakes Bren up as the bus starts to slow down and the commotion gets louder.

Bus Driver: “Everyone be calm, we deal with this occasionally, have your ID’s out and ready. Just let the authorities do their job and we will be on our way.”

Bren looks out side to see dozens of vehicles stopped for inspection.

Bren: “They must be checking for unregistered SPECS.” (As he looks and sees some SPECS being handcuffed and placed in detention vehicles-vehicles that contain cells that cancel out super abilities) “Yep, definitely unregistered… I should be ok, long as they don’t have dogs.”

As the bus stops for inspection Bren realizes a drone from the Iron League with a dog that is doing the inspection of his bus as it comes to a stop.

Bren: “Shit, the dog already picked up my scent, I’ve gotta get out of here.”

Just as the droid comes to the seat, following the dog, it finds nothing. Bren has slipped away undetected and made his way to the shoulder of the highway. He looks at the traffic, then heads towards the wood in the distance behind the shoulder.

Bren: “The reservation should be a few hours away. I’ll just have to walk much as I can….maybe if I stay to the back road I can hitch hike.” Saying to himself as he runs through the woods.

In New York City, Victoria paces her apartment as she talks to the creature that now inhabits her body.

Victoria: “So I don’t get it. You’re some immortal demon that travels between various realms watching and making sure the balance of good and evil stays…well… balanced?”

Demon: “Correct.”

Victoria: “So is there like some benevolent evil being coming and you’re looking for it or something?”

Demon: “The less you know, the better off you’ll be.”

Victoria: “Wait, I thought demons were evil, I mean the bible says it and a few other religions too…”

Demon: “The bible was written on the ideas of men to scare humans of small minds into submission for their own selfish needs and exploit them for power. Do not believe all you hear, I am much older than the events of your bible. We do not have much time; the more we sit here and debate…”

Victoria: “Sorry…I’m just really freaking out. I just said yes to a demon inhabiting my body to stop some coming crisis. It sounds almost comic book like when you say it out loud. But also…I mean no offense to you…it’s scary. Damn it! This would be easier if there was a way we could just talk face to face!”

Demon: “Go to your mirror.” Saying as Victoria walks over to a full length mirror in her bed room she sees a seven foot demon’s reflection and image instead of her own.

Victoria: “This…this is going to take a bit of getting used to.”

Demon: “Well get used to it fast sweetie because we will be one for a while or until the coming event passes.

Victoria: “Well…what’s the event?”

Demon: “I told you the less you know…”

Victoria: “Yea, yea… but if its life threatening shouldn’t I…”

Demon: “No you should know…it’s not your life…but everyone else’s.

Victoria: “Then why should I even care? I mean no one cares about me so…”

Demon: “The world does have its problems with people such as yourself… I will admit that. But these problems are insignificant to what is coming.”

Victoria: “Then if I’m going to survive anyway, what’s in it for me other than my survival? I mean you said I will get my desires, so what’s in for me if I help save the world? Convince me why I agreed to let you possess my body for what’s coming.”

Demon: “Find something to write with.” Instructing to Victoria as she does exactly what she is told then sits down in from of the mirror.

Victoria: “Now what?” Saying as he eyes glow yellow and she begins to write while looking directly at the mirrors reflection.

Back on the road Bren has made his way to the back roads highways of Michigan and starts to hitch hike but gets no one to stop as he walks with his own thoughts.

Bren: “Oh to have powers and not be able to use them. I mean I could, but it’d be at extreme high risk of getting picked up by the league or seen. Been a few hours since the last car passed. Maybe this wasn’t a good idea. Maybe I should come up with a new plan. I fi can catch a bus in Detroit…wait a truck!” Saying as he sees a small pickup truck heading his way. “Come on…” He hopes as the truck passes him by several feet then stops. He runs to it as fast as humanly possible. “Thanks for stopping, sir.” He says as he sets eyes on an elderly man with a white shirt on and jeans.

Elderly man: “No problem son, where are you going? You seem pretty far from town.”

Bren: “My bike broken down ways back, and I guess I took a wrong turn somewhere…now I’m loss trying to get to the upper peninsula.”

Elderly man: “That’s a little far for me for me sonny, I’m sorry.”

Bren: It’s ok…I can just wait for the next car…shouldn’t be too long.”

Elderly man: “Tell ya what… can take you as far as Saginaw, and from there you can figure out the rest of the way?”

Bren: (smiling) “That would be good, thank you!” Saying as he enters the truck.

Back in New York, Victoria wakes up from a small trance with her small sheet of paper that has sequence of numbers on it, confused Victoria looks in the mirror at the reflection of the demon.

Victoria: “I don’t get it…what are these…it’s just a bunch of number ran together.”

Demon: “Turn on to your local news channel on the television.”

Victoria turns on the television to the new and they are announcing the new state lottery jack pot. As the first couple of numbers are called Victoria doesn’t comprehend what is happening in front of her. But as the number continue she looks at the sequence of numbers on the sheet of paper as they match in sequence of the lottery numbers being announced. When it is over she turns off the television and walks to the demons reflection flustered.

Victoria: “Did you… are you… can you explain what just happen to me please?”

Demon: “As I have mentioned I travel the realms… but not just earths. I can travel all realms of existence. This dimension, various others, including the ones that exist in the middle but not limited to the past, present and future.”

Victoria: “Wow, so …wow with this my financial troubles would be over. I could buy a car…open my own business for the LGBTQ community, afford my surgery…wait if you move through time why not just go to the past and prevent things from unfolding in this dark future?”

Demon: Time is very fragile in itself. It’s not linear but more of a large ocean with many channels. You can swim the channels but if you hop out at the wrong time you can end up lost to the ocean. I can only go so far into the future because it requires a bit of energy to do so. The further I go the harder. Those numbers are from seconds into the future.”

Victoria: “So this global crisis must be soon?”

Demon: “A lot sooner than you would think.”

Victoria: “So what do we have to do to save the world?”

Demon: “First we head to Michigan to recruit a man who not only has lost hope for himself but runs from his own demons.”

Hours pass and Bren had found himself hitch hiking after leaving the trucker in Saginaw. He eventually flags a car down and bribes the driver with 200 dollars for a ride, to which the driver accepts with hesitating. The drive for a couple of hours with little conversation. The driver doesn’t expect Bren for what he is until they arrive at the Peninsula Bridge at a check point. The driver turns to Bren to ask for money to pay the toll, after looking at the traffic ahead and he is gone from the vehicle and seen sneaking past the toll point. The driver simply counts the money Bren left on the dash board of his car, then makes a U-turn and drives off in the opposite direction. Bren makes it past the check point with little to no security to search for S.P.E.C.S.

Bren: “I read Michigan is still poorly underfunded for support of billionaire Shreveport’s Iron League, drones and even canine units so they use volunteers from the local prison, county systems to check for people like me. In exchange they are rewarded 1 month off their time for each full day served. Pity…. Their security is shit.” Saying as he makes it across the ten mile bridge running on foot over a large body of water.

By the time Bren makes it across almost an hour has passed and he begins to walk toward a sign that says “Potowami Reservation”

Meanwhile in New Jersey off the coast line a large bird flies through the air and lands on a balcony of a large mansion and turns into a beautiful woman, fully nude. She has long black wavy hair, dark brown skin, and yellow eyes as well is covered in tattoos. She opens the balcony doors and is greeted by an automated voice.

Automated Voice: “Good Afternoon Lilith, the time is 4:01 p.m. You have six new messages.”

Putting on a robe she opens a bottle of red wine and pours it into a glass.

Lilith: “Play Messages.” She says before sipping the wine.

The automated voice begins to play each message, with the name announced first, the first being Victoria.

“Hey sis, it’s me. I know times are rough right now but I need a favor…”

Before the message can continue Lilith says “Delete” and the next message begins to play.

“Hey sis, it’s me again. Look I’m really in a bind...”

Lilith: “Delete.” She says again while drinking her wine glass as the next message begins to play.

“Hey sis, not trying to be a pest but…

Lilith: “Delete and pause. Domino, are all the current new messages from my sister?” she says.

Domino, the automated voice: “Yes, all current messages are from Victoria Black.”

Lilith: “Delete and black her number.” She says

Domino: “Command recognized.”

Lilith: Turn on the master bed room television and tune in to all current news channels.”

Domino: “Yes, Lilith, please stand by.” It says as several channels begin to appear on a large 100 foot screen television one after the other.

Holding her glass of wine Lilith sees various news reporting on weather and current events.

Lilith: “Domino, mute all channels and bring channel 207 to the front and unmute.”

The reporter on screen is reporting on a bank heist where thieves robbed over five million dollars and over ten thousand from local ATM’s at the same time in the morning. Lilith frowns, finishes her drink and marches off outside to a large yacht that is docked outside her home on the water. When she enters below deck there is a scene of several people chanting, some spinning magic and other using variety of shape shifting abilities. Lilith is greeted by a young woman a young woman with a tablet.

Young woman: “After noon mistress, I just wanted you to know your stocks are all up and finances are stable. We will have a new balance once our collection this is cleaned and deposited.”

Lilith: “Very good. Attention everyone! Calling a meeting. This morning’s heist proved well done,” She says while applauding and other joining in with her, “Yes very well, however, someone or someone’s south themselves to get sloppy and kicked over every ATM in the area,” saying as everyone gasp and whispers. “Now I don’t mind if the Regime is mentioned in the news of robbing a liquor store, stealing drugs or gun shipments from the humans or even blowing up a governmentally funded building…I am fine with our name being plastered all over the new about those. I mean it’s what we do. Strike fear in the humans most trusted allies rather than be money, medicine or even entertainment. But something this petty, I will not tolerate… Siro, take lead on this and bring me the person responsible for this by today’s end or else…. And I swear if it’s anyone in my Regime you’ll be washing up on Ellis Island this time tomorrow.” She says as she leaves the room.

Miles away in Michigan Bren is met by a little boy who somehow knew he was coming and fetches his grandfather, and elderly Potowami man.

Elderly man: Ah it’s you! My grandson told me you were coming and he wanted to wait right on that exact spot until you came… (Whispering) he’s special too. (Normal voice) Like you and so many others who have come here. Come, walk with me. My grandson can sense people like you and what they can do. He said you’d save us all when the time comes but I have yet to understand what he means. But you will be welcomed here…this way.” He says as he Bren through the reservation. AS Bren walks he sees various others like himself with abilities using them out in the opening doing various chores or just child’s play, living together peacefully.

Elderly man: “Many have been here for months at the most. Weeks at least. We heard the rioting in the nearby towns after the first blackouts. Many of my people were arrested and thrown away into prison… so the land began to suffer as it once did. Then it was as if the creator itself send help in these people…. Like yourself, to mend these lands and bring life back to the tribe. There are a few of my people here still,” he says as Bren and he walk past a native man with indestructible skin and strength chopping wood by ripping it apart with his bare hands and another super speeding to clean the mess up he makes when he does so. Bren even sees other super power people from other parts of the world as refugees. “Here we are. The other trailers are pretty full so I hope this is okay until when and if we get any more visitors. It’s simple really… you work and help the reservation in exchange…you’re self.”

Bren: “Thank you. This is fine. More than enough actually.”

Elderly Man: “You’ll be safe here… the government has this area as no fly zone…so no drones or robot people will come near it….just stay away from the lake. It’s outside the safe zone.” He finishes before leaving.

Bren looks around at a lot of the things left behind by the previous tenant until he gets a knock at the door by a young 12 year old girl, several minutes later, inviting him to dinner at her house next door. Not wanting to be rude, Bren nervously accepts Bren washes up and changes into some clothes he is able to find that fit, left behind, keeping the necklace and ring he has on and green shoes. He ventures next door several minutes later and meets the little girl’s mom, a young native woman, with a large spread of fish, corn and fry bread.

Young woman: “We thought it would be nice to have out new neighbor over. We cooked for the house but the others are elsewhere on the reservation, no idea when they will return.”

Bren: “Thank you for having me.” Bren says as everyone sits to eat. The little girl begins to ask many questions of all of Bren’s tattoo’s but is soon silenced by her mother for prying. The mother herself wonders if Bren is staying permanently or heading into Canada like many have before, to which Bren isn’t sure yet.

Little Girl: “Are you like us or the other people?”

Bren: “I’m not sure what you mean?” Bren says with a smile.

Little Girl: “Like the other super people here. The ones with powers…Jake says you are.”

Bren: “Jake?”

Little Girl: “He’s my friend… he can sense people with powers like where they are and stuff.

Bren: “Really?”

Little Girl: “Yea, it’s not that flashy I guess…”

Bren: “We all don’t need flashy powers to be special…”

Little Girl: “That’s what my mom says… he can sometimes see what or feel what people can do too.”

Bren: “Well that’s a talent…not flashy but still special like us all.”

Little Girl: “So you are special like us? What can you do?”

Young woman: “Lea, leave the nice man alone and eat your dinner.” She says as she places plates down in front of everyone, serving fish, corn and rice.

Bren: “She’s ok…” nodding and gesturing to the young woman as he picks up a fork. “I can uh…fly.”

Lea: “Really?” saying with a big smile that turns to a curious look. “Then why can’t I read your thoughts?” She continues.

Young woman: “Lea…” saying impatiently.

Lea: “Sorry mom…”

Young woman: “Lea is a telepath.. she can hear the thoughts of others…but she…can’t really control it. But with Jake and a few others…she’s learning.” Saying with a small grin.

Lea: “Guess I need more practice if I can’t read yours,” she says.

Bren: “Well practice does make perfection little one.” Saying with a grin on his face.

Lea: “I hear mom’s all the time when she isn’t using her force field around her.”

Bren: “I do spend a lot of time not thinking a lot so maybe my brain is just a new challenge for you. So yes…practice”

Lea: “My dad could heat stuff up by touching it… he’s in jail now…” she says with a sad face.

Bren: “I’m sorry…”

Young woman: “He was one of the ones caught in the black outs a few months back. We would visit but…we are unregistered so we would meet the same fate if not worse.” She says with somber in her voice.

The young mother eventually introduces herself as Crystal to Bren. She continues to talk to him and tells him how even before the policing and forced registration of SPECS the indigenous people in the area were persecuted far worse than others. How if you were caught doing anything illegal you would be locked up and life sentenced away and how that thought left her without hope of even seeing her husband again.

Days go by and Lea grows attached to Bren’s friendship. Following and helping him with his chores. Crystal gives warning to Bren not to lead her daughter on and break her heart if he is planning to leave later like many others had done, because she misses her father and simply seeks a father figure in her life. Bren assures her he has no wrong intent toward her daughter and that his time with her reminds him of the son he lost months ago, which coincidentally was how his own power manifested. She eventually comes to be okay with Bren being her daughters “big brother” figure after seeing him bond with her over the days.

A few more days pass and Bren grows more comfortable with the community, leaving his idea of crossing the border into Canada behind, his sense of being and purpose restoring until commotion at the front entrance brings new visitors. A new SPECS girl arrives on foot apparently on the run. She tells the people she just needs a safe place until she can cross over the border of her own means. She’s pleads with everyone that she was accused of murdering her boyfriend but it’s not true. The telepaths verify she is telling the truth and really scared to validate any suspicion. To help matters along, Jake even tells everyone he sensed her coming and she can manipulate energy around her hands. She even demonstrates, holding her left hand out and admits a laser like energy blade that seems to engulf her hand without pain. She’s welcomed by everyone. As Bren watches this he is called over and the old man asks him to take her to the trailer he inhabits that has room. Bren doesn’t argue but instead nods in comply and waves her over, she follows him walking behind in a subtle distance. She has brown eyes with a hint of blue in them; long brown hair that stops just below her shoulder blades stands just below height of Bren with fair skin and with thick but athletic physique. She wears fatigue pants and black pull over hoodie with army issues boots and green shirt underneath, she calls herself Lacy.

Soon they arrive at the trailers front door.

Lacy: “So which bedroom is yours?”

Bren: “Um..the big one up at the end…but if you want it I can take the smaller room.” He responds uncomfortable like.

Lacy: “Thanks… I’m good with the small one. Have had worse…four walls and a bed is all if need. Which ones the shower?

Bren: “Last door on the left.”

Lacy: “Thanks…and just so we are clear…we are just bunkmates…so don’t try anything. I did two tours and can drop you faster than you can blink…powers or no powers.” Saying as she creates her energy blade around her hand again but accidentally cutting the standing coat rack in half. “Sorry…just… just thought I would warn you.” Saying as she starts to walk toward the back of the trailer.

Out of respect of what she had been through, Bren gives her the bigger room and falls asleep on the couch the first night. AS days move h keeps his distance inside and outside the trailer. He continues to play and spend time with Lea and the other children, helping them hone their powers. Jake, Lea, another boy who is and actual dwarf, another young man who can walk on walls, and another girl who appears to be a fairy of some type with wings and blue skin. On one of their many walks Bren is asked about his son he lost months prior, and if his son was also special. The question shock Bren for a moment but he simply state “he could fly… like me.” The children continue to ask Bren about his person feelings “How’d he die?” “What was his name?” “Did he have a mommy?” “Did you guys have fly races?” Crystal eventually intervenes after seeing Bren becoming overwhelmed and breaks it up. She tells the kids to run home and get washed up for dinner was soon, she was sure, at many of the homes. Lea apologizes for her friends, sensing Bren’s sadness, hugs him and runs inside her own house.

Crystal: “I’m sorry… I look like you could use a hand.”

Bren: “No it’s ok… their just kids.”

Crystal: “Curious kids…like everyone else here…about you.” Saying as she folds her arms and gives a worried look. “Look…I don’t mean to pry… why don’t you come over tonight for dinner…we can watch a movie or something.”

Bren: “Nah…I think… I’m going to go for a walk..clear my head if you don’t mind.” Saying as he rubs his neck and walks away.

Crystal: “Well…if you change your mind…”

Bren waves thank you at Crystal and continues to walk off. He walks to the nearby lake off the reservation. He would go there occasionally to think and work out away from the community, and usually it is clear but this time he discovers a nude Lacy, skinny dipping in the lake. He is caught almost immediately watching her.

Lacy: “What the hell are you doing? You some kind of pervert?” Screams as she covers her self at the same time.

Bren immediately turns around embarrassed.

Bren: “No I’m not.. it’s just…it’s quiet here. Usually only one who comes…I come to think. To get away…been doing it for a while.

Lacy: “Yea it can get pretty loud with the kids and all,” saying as she gets out of the water and gets dressed. “Any of them yours or do you have kids?”

Bren: “No… I mean… not anymore… I did once.”

Lacy: “Sorry… well I guess that explains why you are so good with them, you can turn around now.”

Bren: “Yea I guess so.”

Lacy: “So what is your story? How’d you end up here?”

Bren: “Got into some bad shit…been running since. Figure make it to the reservation closest to the border, rest up and hop it.”

Lacy: “That’s pretty much my plan… but why haven’t you yet? I saw that trailer when I first got here. You seem pretty settled for a drifter.”

Bren: “I don’t know…I guess…feels…kind of... it reminds me of home; my roots and all…simple times; grew up in Tennessee on a reservation. When I was old enough I split…never looked back. I miss those times…nothing how it is now though. What about you, I mean how’d you really get here?” he says curiously.

Lacy: “Caught my commanding officer eating my boyfriend.” She says non-sarcastically.

Bren: Chuckling then stops when he sees the hard look on Lacy’s face. “Wait you’re serious?”

Lacy: “We were about to leave for holiday and I met him at his bunk to help him pack…but instead found my commanding officer chomping into his neck like he was steak tar-tar. I jumped to help him using my power and was caught by MP’s shortly after. Was arrested for killing my boyfriend and attacking a commanding officer; add my powers to the mix and it was as good as reason.”

Bren: “What was it…some kind of vampire?”

Lacy: “No idea….I just know it was strong with jagged teeth. I’m no monster expert. Anyway while in detainment something breached the facility and set the fire system off triggering all the doors to open, made my way out and been running sense.”

Bren hears a noise in the wind and says.

Bren: “We should get out of here… if a drone comes over it will scan our body temperature and call assistance comes by every few days.”

Lacy looks on toward the sky then follows Bren. As the walk and talk Lacy states how she doesn’t trust Bren because of how he state he can fly but believes there is more to him because of the check points between Chicago and Northern Michigan. She was able to get through by luck because the army had not flagged her in the system as a deserter after the breach where she was being held. But someone like him, especially a flyer, should have been picked up at some point, but atlas she thinks he is a good man and hope she isn’t wrong. They also joke of the things they endured getting to the reservation, like the hitch hiking and telepathic children. Eventually Bren hears and sees the drone coming and Lacy tries to out run it but Bren pleads they run back to the lake so it does perceive the two are at the local reservation. He ducks them both under a tree and many hide in the distance at the reservation. When it clears they head back to find other were also hiding from the drone and talking among themselves.

Lacy:” I don’t get it…if this place is a no fly how are drones able to come through?”

Bren: I don’t know…something about size restriction, not sure.”

Everyone in the community is shaken up because supposedly the drone hovered around longer than it usually does. Children and the people are scared. To ease their fear the old man gestures they have a party to lighten the mood. Bren Volunteers to run to the nearby town using the community truck to buy supplies, treats and fire works for the kids. He blends in well with the locals and most assume he’s from the reservation anyway due to his indigenous look. When he gets to the first store he sees more drones fly over head, while driving in the truck, going the same direction he is. As he enters and leaves the store he sees more drones this time with a small platoon of the iron league with them, heading straight for the reservation.

Bystander: “Looks like their heading to the reservation…must’ve found some freaks.”

Bystander: “I thought the area was a no fly or something”

Bystander: “Not if ya harboring fugitives from the law.”

Bren drops his supplies, jumps into the truck and drives toward the reservation following the drones and iron league but they are too fast for the old pick up. He stops the truck frustrated, climbs out and then takes off in flight in pursuit. Upon arrival to the reservation the league had descended on the grounds of the reservation and began placing the community on lock down so they could arrest those they can. Due to the state of emergency that allows the league to break other common laws and rights of the public to apprehend SPECS, because they are considered terrorist and fugitives of the law; everyone was being arrested. However, they were fighting and resisting capture by running. Bren eventually arrives, flies down and protects children he comes across almost immediately using a combination of martial arts and flight. He then takes each each person he rescues to his trailer and informs others fighting to do the same. Eventually he is joined by Lacy who's fighting with anothe small group of SPECS. She's soon captured and Bren quickly flies after the leaguer that takes her up into flight, catches up to it with his own flight and uses super strength to remove the robot's head, crashing with Lacy in his arms injuring his arms and torso in the process. Lacy, uninjured, attempts to help Bren but instead sees him adjust with no physical damage to himself, not even bruising.

Lacy: "How... I thought you were just a flyer?" She says with a shockingly look.

Bren: "Get the kids...and any one else you see to our trailer. Once there head to the lake, you kno the one." He yells after he dust his torn clothes and takes off again.

As she runs to help other an iron league drone lands in front of Bren and she turns around to help sees him ripping the droid apart with his mind using telekinesis.

Bren: "GO!" He screams.

Bren then heads to the Lea and Crystal's trailer and witnesses a droid attempting to push it's way through the door as he super speeds to save them. Bren stops and uses his telekinesis to push the droid through the wall and tells them to get to Lacy and the others in his trailer. Bren then makes his way to Jake and his grandfather, who had been shot in the leg. Bren neals down and heals him within seconds tells them to get to his trailer.

Bren continues to run through the reservation trying to help others and finds Lacy trying to help kids hiding under a broken car with other kids while getting to his trailer. She's surrounded by the league, who are now swarming the grounds like insects. Lacy manages to beat a couple droids with her powers until Bren super speeds to er and slashes them in half using Lacy's power. With a shocked look Lacy and Bren get the remaining kids to the trailer and are soon met by other survivors.

Bren: "Is this everyone?!" saying as massive platoon swarms outside the trailer.

Lacy: "Everyone who hasnt been captured or surrendered! What's the plan?!"

Bren then stairs at the floor and heat vision cuts from his eyes on to the floor and cuts an opening into it leadin under the trailer to the outside.\

Bren: "Go through there and follow the lake into the woods, Lacy you know the one, and on the other side you'll see a bus. I've been working on it. Take it north and don't stop until you hit the border." He directs.

Lea: "What about you though?"

Bren: "Don't worry about me, I'll draw them to me and hold them off. You'll be ok... Lacy will take care of you."

He hugs Lea and Crystal good bye as commands from te League outside rear over head and in front of them all outside as everyone begins to make thier escape. Bren walks toward the entrance of the trailer with electrical surge in his right hand and looks toward Lacy who stops to look him before she leaves through the hole in the trailer.

Bren: "I'll be fine." He says to her as he looks at her with glowing eyes and she escapes.

As Lacy makes her way to the back of te trailer toward the lake she looks back and see swarm of droids coming toward the trailer for Bren.

Commanding League voice: "BY ORDER OF THE UNITED NATIONS, GET DOWN ON THE GROUND AND SURRENDER! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!"

Looking around him Bren claps his charged electrical surged hands in the air to create and localized electro magnetic pulse to disable all the droids on the ground  and a few in the air. Those uneffected begin firing at Bren and super speeds, cutting them down as other droids in the air fire at him as well. Bren then takes off into the sky away from the reservation drawing the droids and drones from the area as Lacy runs the opposite way, looks back and sees Bren fighting the assauly alone.

As the surviving members make their way to the bus, Lacy starts it up. They begin to drive off but soon run into a road block by local law enforcment a few miles down the road as fear comes across all thier faces. They stare at each other as the police await thier arrive, guns drawn. All of a sudden, a divine bright glow forms all around them and the bus vanishes before the police eyes.
