Four days later...

James: "It's finished."

A large,metallic pad big enough to fit around 70 people stands in the center of the base, surrounded by the heroes.

Robert: "Pretty nice."

Dr. LeeAnn: "So now it's time to start heading for their base of operations."

Rose: "Small question, where is that?"

CJ pulls out a map of the US.

CJ: "My map shows us the capital of the US on the eastern coast."

Ashley: "But there's an issue."

Denton: "It's on the other side of the country."

Awkward moment of silence...

Isaac: "Looks like Jacob is about to get worked into shape."

Cole: "And we're going to be walking for months."

Jacob: "(awkwardly) And my sanity will fade by the mile."

Connor pats Jacob on the shoulder.

Connor: "Well, I won't use my Quantum Wave since it'd probably incapacitate me after the twentieth person."

They all look towards the east.

Alphonse: "You'll need these for the teleporter."

Alphonse gives everyone a small, light blue button.

Marcel: "Then we'd better start now."

Everyone takes a single step outside of base at the same moment.

Meanwhile...

Soalious: "They've begun heading in our approximate direction."

Soalious, Horus, Damiax, and Kurtis are examining the heroes' energy movements.

Damiax: "So what now?"

Horus: "We'll send some Soldier Omega leftovers to around the 1000 mile mark."

Kurtis: "Why 1000?"

Horus walks over to Dimension Leap as it begins to activate.

Horus: "Why not?"

Seven people around the same age of 17 step through, dazed and confused.

Horus: "Welcome."

The first is male and has a scythe made of obsidian.

Obsidian: "Who the hell are you?"

The second is male and has gauntlets made of sandstone.

Sandstone: "An enemy?"

Horus: "Why no, I'm your maker."

The third is female has a sniper rifle made out of silver.

Silver: "(readying trigger) Whatever helps you sleep at night."

The fourth is female with a set of emerald fans.

Emerald: "Why are we here?"

The other enemies grab the seven from behind.

Horus: "Simply to be my answer."

The fifth is male with a sword made of rubies.

Ruby: "H-Hey!"

The sixth one is female with a sapphire staff.

Sapphire: "Let me go!"

The last one isn't struggling, a young female with a dark aura.

Aura: "All will disappear."

Horus menacingly walks towards them.

Horus: "Then let us begin your incarceration..."
