A New Life: Sky High

Vision

"Ian." Ruby's voice said faintly. "Are you okay?"

Ian opened his eyes and saw Ruby over him.

"Wha-what happened?" Ian asked.

"You got hit by some energy, then you just passed out." Ruby said.

Caitlin came into the room.

"You also kept murmuring something stones and merging." Caitlin said. "We didn't get much."

Ian sat up.

"Yeah...uh." Ian said. "Arcturion and Alex were merging again, and something was said about the soul stone."

"So not only are they alive but they're existing separately?" Ruby asked. "How's is that even possible?"

Ian then looked at Ruby.

"Remember when Alex and his sister got their powers drained from the cavern?" Ian asked.

Ruby nodded then realized what he said.

Caitlin looked at Ruby and Ian confused.

"What is it?" Caitlin asked.

"Alex didn't just lose Arcturion's abilities." Ruby said. "Arcturion was created into his own person."

"Then after he was killed he went inside Alex again." Ian said. "How would they have survived the destruction of the battlerealm?"

"It seems like Ronnie's situation as Firestorm." Caitlin said. "Arcturion is the power that is needed and Alex is containing the energy that would make Arcturion dangerous."

"Which brings the question why are they separated again?" Ruby asked.

Ruby looked at Ian who looked worried.

"You saw them merge." Ruby said. "What happened?"

"I don't think they even did." Ian said. "Alex also said something before they tried."

"Ian, what was it?" Ruby asked.

"One last time." Ian replied. "They seemed in pain while they merged. Phoebe and I both tried to stop them because we didn't have the Soul stone yet."

"I don't think anything you saw was imagined." Caitlin said. "There were multiple colored energies, some in the form of people you've met, others as just energy."

Caitlin pulled up an image on the screen revealing twelve colored energies.

"I don't know about the stones but I do recognize the totem energies." Caitlin said.

"So everything Ian just saw was the future?" Ruby asked.

"I'm afraid so." Caitlin said.

"At least we know what to expect from the battlerealm." Ruby said.

"That's just it...it didn't feel like the battlerealm." Ian said. "Someone...or something at least was after us."

"What was it?" Ruby asked.

"I have no idea." Ian replied. "But if that's why people are wielding the stones and totems, this is bigger than we thought."

"We need to warn the others." Ruby said.

"I'll open a breach." Caitlin said messing with the computer. "I'm not sure how it'll work here but you can use this to find everyone."

Caitlin hands Ruby a breach opening device.

A breach opens beside Caitlin, Ruby, and Ian.

"Be careful." Caitlin said.

"We will." Ruby said.

"You can count on it." Ian said.

Ian and Ruby turned towards the breach and walked through as the breach vanished.
