Taylia read the note and was stunned. The information stored on the note was a little nerve racking. Taylia looked up at the ice sculpture. Katrina had broken out. She thawed the ice sculpture out and the president had to be rushed to the medical wing of the base.
Just then there was a knock at the big double doors. Taylia opened the door and saw two unfamiliar faces along with Ebony. Ebony looked at her and smiled. Taylia invited them in the building.
"I know these are some new faces, but they knew Harper before he went bad. I figured they could help us." explained Ebony.
"Help us what exactly? I have not even left since Harper's funeral. I am not ready to face the world without Harper." Taylia responded.
"I get it. You had a crush on Harper. It would help you if you got out, and faced the world. It would really help you." Ebony responded.
"Fine, Just let me put on my supersuit, and we can leave." responded Taylia as she went back to her room to change.
Taylia came back out and looked at the two new people. There was a blonde girl wearing a black suit and a guy with blonde hair who looked like he was about their age. Taylia looked at Ebony and waited for a response.
"These people are here to speak to you about Harper. I would like you to meet Cybil and Cason. Cybil and Cason were friends of Harper's back in third grade. They came to pay their respects to you." Ebony explained.
"Thanks guys, but you guys can go. I have to lock up here. Maybe we can meet and get coffee sometime?" Taylia asked.
"Sure." replied Cason and then he turned and walked out the dear followed by Cybil.
Ebony and Taylia boarded the plane to fly back to America to visit Harper's grave so that Ebony could put flowers on it. They landed the plane in an airfield about an hour away, and a designated driver pulled up behind the plane. The driver got out and he looked very familiar. It was an old friend of theirs and an old crush of Harper's. His name was Lewis Maddox. They had not seen him in a very long time. Lewis opened the back door of the car and Ebony and Taylia got in. Lewis drove them to where Harper was buried and told them that he would be at the gas station down the road. Lewis left and they entered the graveyard.
Taylia walked into the graveyard with a clear head. As they approached Harper's grave, they heard digging and metal clinking. Taylia got in battle mode. She ran to Harper's grave to find a new face. She was wearing a white leather suit and had a white mask on. The mask only covered the area around her eyes. Taylia shot them with her ice. The figure looked up and then instantly Taylia turned to ice.
Taylia stood there in shock after Ebony finally managed to get her thawed out. When Taylia was fully thawed out, she sped off. Ebony pulled the power gun out of her pocket and gave herself the ability to fly. She had to keep up with Taylia. Taylia was predictable. Ebony found her within the hour.
Taylia was standing outside the gate of the White House shooting ice and lighting at the wall. The wall finally gave out and on the other side was Katrina. She was wearing her new suit. It was red and black, with lightning bolts on the arms and legs. She did not stand a chance against Taylia.
Katrina teleported to the top of the building, and shot Taylia with lightning.
"How do you like my new lightning power? I knew you would be coming. I also hear you met my new college, Isla. She was at Harper's grave digging him up because we knew you would come there. You made a big mistake coming here. You will not make it out of here alive." Katrina yelled down at Taylia.
An army came out from behind the building. Taylia was trying to hold them off, so she put them in an ice bubble while she thought about what to do in this situation.
Ebony watched from the air and then flew back to Canada. She met with Cybil and Cason. They were eating a restaurant a few miles north of the base. When Ebony walked in, they got up.
"Are you guys willing to help make the world better than it already is?" Ebony asked.
"Of Course. What do you need from us?" Cybil asked.
" I need you guys to step out back so that I can explain. No one can be around." responded Ebony.
They walked to the back of the building. There was a white van with a big "H" on it. She pulled Cason and Cybil into the van. Inside there was a blue suit made of entirely leather. Sketched on it was a fire symbol. There was also a full black suit hanging up. Same material but it was just a black suit. There was a lighting bolt of each arm, but it really had no design. Each of the suits had an "H" on them. Ebony looked at both of them.
"Taylia is in trouble. It is up to the rebellion to stop them. Are you guys willing to join it.?You will have to learn your powers on the fly, but you will get them." Ebony explained.
"Let's do this." They said in perfect sync.
Ebony dug around the van for the gun. When she finally found it she hooked it up to a machine. She looked at the computer screen and hit the button that said," Blue Fire," She also hit the button that says," Superhuman Tracking." They pulled up the blue fire symbol that was on the blue suit. She picked up the gun and pointed it at Cybil. She shot Cybil with the gun and the cybil went outside to figure out how to use it.
Ebony then went back on the computer to clear the powers. She hit two more buttons, a button that said, "Shape-Shifter" and "Superspeed." She shot Cason with the gun and next thing Cason knew, he was turned into a horse.
"Think of what you wanna become, it will allow your body to morph into that creature. YOur superspeed is only accessed while in your morphed form. To become Cason again, think of yourself, and you will be back to a human. Now lets get to the white house." Ebony Commanded.
Ebony shot herself with the original gun, and gave herself a power called, "Heat Vision." They all suited up and then hopped out of the van. Ebony clicked a button on her wrist and the car shrunk. She picked up the car and put it in her pocket.
"Alright Cybil, you can summon a car or jet made of blue fire. Cason think of being a cheetah, it will make you run faster and make you be able to withstand the run." commanded Ebony as she began flying.
The White House was in the mere distance and Ebony could see that Taylia was still in the ice ball trying to keep herself safe.
"Cobolt, or Cybil, shoot the army with your fire. Shifter take down the army as well. I am going to take on Katrina. Good luck!" commanded Ebony once everyone got there.
