Return of a Hero

Eins forehead jewel rested affixed to a tombstone, it shone in the broad sunlight, suddenly it erupted with a flash, the amber light beaming forth from it, the protocol had just been put into effect, slowly his shattered and battered fragments shot out of the ground and slowly reassembled themselves, in a moment an intact Ein stood, he sighed "its good to be home" he picked up the jewel and placed it into his forehead, he lived to fight another day

(Prior to the last post....)

Atop a skyscraper in the darkness of the night stood Entropus, watching over the city. The streets were filled with pedestrians, slow cars, and angry taxi drivers. You could almost hear each persons shout at one another if you paid close enough attention. Drivers honking their horns, giving the bird to the guy next to them; just another night in New York City. But things didn't seem right, something was out of place.

Entropus quickly vanished from his post and was already switched into his everyday-go average-normal clothes. Emmett walked among the citizens of the city, minding his own. He lived in New York City before he was involved in the accident on the outer rim of the Solar System.

"It's been 15 years since I last saw what this place was like. Sadly, it's the same damn crime infested city as it once was." Emmett scrambled up in his mind.



Hours later, Emmett sat in a stool in a sports bar; it was easily midnight. He spun his finger around the shot glass he had sitting before him. It was empty. Emmett never truly grasped the concept of depression until knowing the truth about life and it's revelations. It goes from losing your life, to losing all that you had to call yours, your wife, your kids, your family, everything. Even in death and back into life once more, he gained wisdom. Fighting against villains in his past, saving the Earth, even in it's own destruction. Even losing his close friend, Ein. He was like a younger brother to Emmett and Brock. To watch your brother die before you, and you have no power to stop it, was the most painful experience for both of them. It brought about a deep depression throughout their lives. This caused great affect to G.U.N.

Ein's death was a surprise to all of the world. For 15 years, there were no villains, the crime rate went down, all of the world seemed at peace. Two monsters just boxed him in and seemed to have gotten him.



The next morning Emmett knelled before the tombstone that laid Ein's body. Chills went down his neck, a shiver even trembled down to his ankles. "I miss you, I'm sorry I failed you... I will not fail again, I promise."

With those last words a quick flash erupted and the fragments of Ein's body shot from beneath Emmett. Quickly he sprung back and watched the pieces reassemble themselves.

In awe, Emmett froze still in place. His long last brother was back, to fight once more.
"Ein..?"

Ein smiled at slightly "I missed you to" he chuckled and crossed the distance between them, hugging him once "How are you?" he asked nonchalantly

Obsidior approached the two men, he might as well make it a party of returned heroes.

"Entropus?" he asked confused, he vaguely remembered Entropus he had shown Kip around on his first day. "Who is this?" Obsidior asked as he extended his hand to Ein.

"This is my younger brother Ein.. He's back..." He said as he hugged Ein once more.

"Nice to meet you Ein, I am Obsidior" he said with a smile.

"Obsidior," Entropus said revealing his normal outfit with the press of a button on his watch. "What is going on with the dead coming back?"

"You know, I would seem like the proper person to ask, but honestly I have no idea" he said as he put his hands in his pockets.

"I think there's something going on that is very suspicious." Emmett thought for a moment.

"I agree, but what could possibly be the cause of such an event" Obsidior said as his costume seemed to melt away and he was in his civilian clothes.

Emmett but his hands in his coat pocket. "I wish I knew. I have a bad feeling about this."

"The feeling is mutual buddy" Kip said as he ran his hand through his black hair.

"So im not the only one, well of course not if your here" he chuckled "but I was brought back because of a default recovery program embedded in my subsystems, what are your stories?" Ein asked

Kip shook his head "I have no idea, I only remember a little every now and then" he said with a smile. "I just woke up one day as if nothing happened....the weird thing is, I remember not being alive, as if I was in a coma....pitch black for what seemed like decades" he said as his demeanor fell a little more serious. "I was thinking it might just because of what I am....you know what I mean" he finished in his Canadian accent.

"After my sacrifice it was all black. Just like how it was back 20 years ago with my accident." Emmett then pulled out a cigarette and scratched his five o'clock shadow. He lit the cigarette and brushed his hand back through his short brown hair that shined in the sunlight.

"I awoke back in the same spot I died in 20 years ago; just floating in black space. I remembered everything perfectly." He inhaled, then blew out the smoke from his lungs. "I remembered watching my cousin die in my arms, watching the space shuttle fly from the fire-like atmosphere of the erupting planet. The ground beneath me broke as the crust of the Earth burst into flames. People scattered like peasants. Screaming, cries for help." Emmett inhaled once more, holding this round of smoke. He blew it from his nostrils this time, looking over to Kip. "I never felt so helpless in my life. My last thoughts were of the family I wish I had my whole life. Brock, my kids," he then looked over to Ein, "and you too."

Emmett finished up his cigarette. "But once I awoke I quickly gathered my head, warped to Earth immediately. I tried warping to the exact location of the original G.U.N. Headquarters back in central New York City. Nothing but city streets, flying cars, pedestrians, cleaner streets." Emmett half-smiled at the thought of a completely different future. "I didn't know if I was even on Earth." He even spoke a laugh out with that last comment he made. "But I was. 16 years from when I died. I don't know why it was that long, but things have changed. A lot."
