The New Rejects Volume 1: A New Beginning (Completed) (Canceled)

Proposition

Mike: Welcome to hell.
Mary: You guys are seriously working out of the prison we were created in?
Mike: No, we aren't working out of your mother, we are working out of a secret lab/prison we gained our powers.
Mary: Har har.
Golem: LADY FRIEND?!
Mary looks to her right and sees Golem in his cell with bandages covering his chest and right arm.
Mary: Golem?
Toby: You know him?
Mary: We ate together whenever they let us eat in the cafeteria.
Mike: There's a cafeteria?
Mary: Yeah. Why is he in a cell?
Toby: He askes to be in there. He felt like he did a bad thing.
Mary: Open it.
Mike presses a button and the forcefield disappears. Golem gets up and hugs Mary.
Mary: Alright big guy, you payed for your bad deed.
Golem: Ok.
Mary: Hey, where is everyone else?
Toby: They're following a lead. Supposedly we have a crazy cult full of metas out there.
Mike: We'll catch them and then find Dr.Skin and force him to revert us back to normal.
Lash: Hahahahahahahah.
The 4 look up towards Lash's cell.
Mike: You got something to say?!
Lash: Yeah, like hell you'll ever find Dr.Skin. His boss will be hiding him from everyone, including you.
Mike: Boss?
Lash: Yeah, some wealthy guy who has become the head of every crime family in St. Paul. Also he's supposedly a public figure but that could be rumors.
Toby: And your telling us why?
Voltic: Because no matter how much we hate your guts, we hate his more.
Mike: Great. The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy. Lovely.

(In a warehouse)

Jess: STOP HIM!!!
A man who's skin is all inky black and has pure white eyes and ia wearing a black trench coat is running away from Jess and Jacob.
Jacob: Trying Psych.
Jacob lifts his left hand and fires a energy blast, but the man transforms himself and the blast goes through him.
???: Ha, better luck next time.
Crystal: Surprise.
The man hits Crystal's arm and falls straight to the ground.
Crystal: Hello Ebon. Thay is your name, right?
Ebon: That's what they call me.
Ebon melts through the fence like walkway and lands on the ground and starts running.
Crystal: Wolf!
Nelson drops infront of Ebon with his teeth bare and claws unsheathed.
Nelson: Grrrrrrrrrrrr..
Ebon: Good boy.
Ebon's body turns into a black puddle and shoots at Nelson in spear like shape. Nelson dodges and Ebon slinks away. The other three arrive next to Nelson.
Jess: Great. We lost him and we are still no where near close to figure where the cult is and who's leading them.
Jacob: Let's head back home.

(Back at the base)

The four enter into a office looking room where Toby and Mike are in.
Mike: Got anything?
Jess: Nope.
Jacob: He got away boss. But we'll get him next time!
Mike: Love the optimism.
Crystal: Anything with the files?
Mike: Not really. We got some weird names in here. Torque, Slayer, Razer, Domino, Leech.
Toby: Pinky and the Brain.
Nelson: Really?
Mike: Really. It's that weird.
Mary and Golem then enter the room.
Mary: Hey Mike, do we expect to get mail?
Mike: No... Why?
Mary throws him an envelope. Mike opens it and reads out loud.
Mike: "Dear Mike, Jess, Toby, Jacob, Nelson, and Crystal. I would like to invite you to my penthouse in the center of St. Paul. I would like to discuss a proposition about your... "unique" skills. Please don't be shy. Sincerely, Joshua Tomb".
Crystal: Ominous anyone?
Jess: Should we go?
Mike: I'll go. I'm the one who'll be the most safe. Jess, Toby, Nelson got to the rooftops and watch from across the street. Crystal, Jacob stay near street level if I need you make a distraction.
Nelson: You really think this Joshua Tomb is really a good guy?
Mike: If he knows who we are and our powers then no, he is not. But I need to make sure he is not a threat to us.
Mary: Do you want our help?
Mike: No. I don't want to many metas out on the streets in one area. Alright people, let's go meet this man.

(In the city of St. Paul)

Mike enters a fancy building wearing his leather jacket, black shirt, blue jeans, black boots, black gloves, black scarf, black sunglasses, and a hat. Mike looks infront of him and sees a lady at a desk.
Mike: Exscuse me, I'm here to see-
Lady: Just go in the elevator and hit the top button.
Mike nods and walks into the elevator and presses a button that saids "PH". The doors close and Mike heads up. The doors open and Mike exits the elevator. In front of him is a fancy room with a fire place, a bookshelf, a huge painting of a woman, a desk and a fancy chair. A pale white man with slicked back orange hair wearing a grey suit turns around from the window.
Tomb: Hello Michael. I am Joshua Tomb, but you may call me Tomb.
Mike: What do you want?
Tomb: Straight to the point, I like that. Well, what I want is you and your friends.
Mike: How do you know about us? Who the hell even are you?
Tomb: Heh, well I'm the man who founded Skin.
Mike clenches his fist.
Mike: What?
Tomb: I go by many names. SawDust, BoneSteel, Killgrave. But Tomb always fit me. What I want, Immortal, is my property. And you kid, are MY property. So I'll make you a deal. You help me catch all the other metas, and I'll cure you and your friends.
Mike: If I don't agree?
Tomb: Well, YOU won't be killed but your friends? Well I'll snap their necks infront of you.
Mike: I could take you out right here, right now.
Tomb: I invited YOU, remember? You really think I let you in here without security?
On cue, two cops walk in. A man with messy brown hair, grizzled beard, wearing a brown jacket, grey dress shirt, black pants, black shoes, and a police badge on his belt.
???: Who the fuck is this Josh? You better not be wasting my fucking time.
Tomb gives Mike a look and Mike flicks him off.
Tomb: *sighs* He's the man who has been leading a cult of metas Detective Judge. The evidence is at your desk when you get to the prescient.
Mike then feels cuffs being attached to his wrists.
Jess*thought*: Do we engage?!
Mike*thought*: No. Let them do their job.
The cops turn Mike around violently.
Mike: This isn't over Tomb.
Tomb: I don't expect it to ever be Michael. See you down the road to hell.
