 warning :

if you haven read we are heroes, don't continue as this is a continuation of chapter 6 of that story

Onyx found herself in her safe cell where she could watch that was going on in the dimension she had just come from. She watched as eve explained who she was and when eternal opened the pyramid base in melody's back yard. "you've got to let me out. They need my help." Onyx told Luke who was told to watch over her. "You know I can't let you out without your cores. We need to be careful about how we do this, if you die then..." "it's all over. I know, but I can't just stand back and watch a fight that I could be a part of." Onyx responded as she slumped into her cell. "If you, say able to get a cosmic Crystal while I was on the toilet and escape, then you'd be able to fight and I'd be able to not get into trouble for it. But that's not going to happen." Luke explained with a wink to onyx, away from the camera as he kicked a crystal it the cell while walking away. Onyx took the hint, picked up the crystal and yelled "COSMIC CONTROL!" before disappearing in an instant and repapering in the main room of Eather.

"Well, look who's back from the dead. Are you here to join me or die with only yourself? Onyx raised herself and smiled. "I refuse to become a new version of you. She then manipulated the cosmic energy into a spear before yelling "COSMIC SPEAR!" and throwing a few different spears at Eather, locking his hands to the ground. However, androids started to topple on her, and in a fit of rage she yelled "COSMIC BLAST!" and a wave of ethereal energy flew out of her body, shutting down the androids allowing her to push them off of her. She activated the hover boots and rammed after Eather. Eather tried to lock her in a gravity hold, but she was able to break out of it. As a last resort he dropped an android version of onyx with the gravity core, but that backfired as it turned on him and looked at onyx before talking.

"I am sorry for leaving you like that but you needed to learn to fight for yourself and the power that theses crystals hold. It will be important later, now then I need to dispose of this man immediately." The core explained as onyx hovered above Eather. "No, I want him to rot in prison. After everything he's done, I'm not giving him the easy way out." Onyx responded. "If you don't do this, you will regret it later on." "And I'll live with the consequences when they come. If I learned anything from my bio farther, this one deserves to rot away in prison." Onyx responded getting serios and picking Eather up. Soon eve and Charlie entered the room and asked her to stop. "You got him don't go any further." Onyx looked down and saw that Eather was cowering in fear and she dropped to the ground and let the cosmic crystal fall out of her hand and into Charlie's. "So, is this one of those crystals you were talking about?" Charlie asked. "Yeah, but only I can use them to their full potential. Are you coming down here core?" onyx asked to the core who stood over Eather and grabbed him before jumping down. While walking back to the rest of the group, terra and stream arrived to find that they had Eather and they dragged him outside where they placed him in dampening cuffs.

"How did you get back?" eve asked as she waited for a response. "I used the cosmic crystal." Onyx responded sitting down to catch her breath. The core then walked over to her and lodged itself back in onyx, making her skin turn back to its usual grey and the hair did the same. "you'll probably need this." Charlie said giving onyx the speed core. "I just wanted to thank you for all you've done. All of you." Stream explained looking at the group. "Wait, where's mom, dad and Michal?" melody asked. "They must have run off, but now that we have Eather up we can get the school back up and running." Terra explained. "Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going back home for a while. Are you coming with me Charlie?" Charlie looked at the portal opening, and then to the world behind her and made her decision. "Nah, I'm going to stay here and help out. Besides I think eve's going to need someone." Chalie explained while watching eve talk to the elites.

Onyx surged and left through the portal after making sure that Charlie had a communicator and walked through. After a few days everybody was allowed back into the school, but before that a ceremony was held. "I would like to thank these kids for willing to risk their lives to help us. I would like to display theses four with the meddles of true heroes." Ventus explained as he gave the young heroes medals. Of to the side was Charle and eve just listing in on the conversation before they got to talking between themselves. "So, what now?" eve asked her best friend. "I don't know, but while we've got a place that the elite's HQ, I say we use it to help these people out. I'm just shocked that onyx left her multi-tool with me." Challie explained. Terra walked over and looked at them before handing them meddles. "What you did was also great, we would like to add you two to the team. With the new president making easer for non-powered individuals to be accepted, we could use a powerless representative." She explained. "Thanks, I think we'll take you up on that honour." Charlie responded as she shook terra's hand and watched the rest of the ceremony.
