Team Legacy Original Saga Episode II: Heroes Unite!

Chapter 3

Author's Note:

So there is going to be at least one more chapter after this with the story winding down at this point; also later on in this chapter you will be meeting a familiar face from General Hospital who will be serving as a cameo.

Enjoy!

"So as you can see here, the Dimensional Stones are extremely important and vital for maintaining the balance of the time-space continuum; each of them possesses a special ability," Esther explained as she was pointing at an image of multi-colored stones on the big computer screen in the IDA conference room. "For example..."

She then pointed at a dark red stone.

"This is the Premonition Stone; it has the ability to show you what the future holds."

Esther then motions over to a dark grey stone.

"This is the Reality Stone; it controls all reality. And this is the Time Stone."

She points right at a light silver stone. "It not only controls the flow of time but also allows you to travel back in time."

"And what about all of the other stones? What do they do?" Yuki asked inquisitively.

"Well, here is the Nature Stone. The Nature Stone controls all forms of nature and wildlife. The Celestial Stone controls all sources of light while the Shadow Stone controls all sources of darkness," Esther answered as she pointed at a green stone, a yellowish white stone and a dark purplish black stone.

"However, there is something important that you need to know about the Shadow Stone. It has the ability to corrupt people's souls and therefore makes it extremely dangerous for mere mortals, so if you ever come across it, be very careful to avoid its dark influence."

"Okay, Mum," Jasmine nodded.

"Now... where was I... Oh yes!" Esther mused while rubbing her chin thoughtfully as she turned her attention back to the Dimensional Stones. "Now the other two stones are the Magicka Stone, which controls all known types and sources of magic, and the Love Stone, which can not only bring people back from the dead with the power of love but can also reveal to you who your true love really is."

"Blech!" Rhonda grimaced in disgust while sticking out her tongue and recoiling. "That sounds way too corny and silly to me."

"Well, you kids are still fairly young, so you have plenty of time to discover that for yourselves," Esther reassured them with a gentle smile.

"Not me! Love is gross and disgusting!" Rhonda protested with narrowed eyes.

"Yeah! Who needs stupid, stinking love anyway? I'd rather build Legos and play games on my PlayStation," Luthor concurred.

"I don't think love is stupid," Katie frowned sourly.

"Of course you don't," Luthor scoffed with an eye roll and a snicker. "You're the one who can't stop gawking at magazine covers of Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys."

"Stop it, Luthor! That's not funny!" Katie snapped angrily.

"Katie likes Nick Carter... Katie likes Nick Carter..." Luthor taunted her in a sing-song voice as he began dancing around the room in circles.

"I said stop it, Luthor! That's not funny! You're being mean!" Katie shrieked shrilly while stomping her foot on the ground.

"Knock it off, you two!" Shirley scolded them sternly, crossing her arms. "Be serious here."

She then turned to look at Esther. "So do you have anything else to show us, Mrs. Shirvani?"

"Oh yes, just one more thing..." Esther replied as she walked over to a large blue Stargate-like portal door and gestured over to it. "This portal is part of what we would call an inter-dimensional portal network system. This system allows you to travel to any dimension you wish, and if there is any particular universe that you want to visit, all you have to do to input a specific code into this watch-like device and it will transport you there in a matter of minutes."
