Timeline: Futuristic Powerlvl: High (7 or 8) If you want more info then you should check out my "Ace of Hearts!!" thread in rp discussion.
*******************************************************
"Why did we get stuck out here of all days? Why couldn't they send some newbies to take care of troop sign up, this is ridiculous!" The day was a Wendsday, hump day if you will. It was pretty hot, a sweltering 94 degrees, but Chris seemed to be handling it pretty well. "Aw, calm down Andrew it's not that bad, at least we get to stay beside this port which gives us a good view of the Statue of Liberty or, at least the remnants of it." What Chris was referring to was The Head of the Statue of Liberty sitting on a man-made island. Andrew responded "Yeah, too bad the count had to go and blow it up, it's a good thing the head survived though." Chris and Andrew were of similar build, they were of about equal hight, they both stood at about six foot and were a dark brown-ish color skin-wise. Their eyes were brown and both had very short hair. The only major difference in their appearances was their style of clothing and that only varied about that was their choice of colors. Andrew wire a red t-shirt with blue jeans and Chris wore a black t-shirt with blue jeans. They were both watching a stand that had the words "Company A sign up, come with weapons!" it was a very ragged sign, in fact it looked like a third grader drew the sign.
"Lets hope a bunch of people show up because i'm going to be mad if we only get like, five people today." Andrew said "We should have brought Cynthia, she is hot enough to bring in some male recruits" Chris chuckled and said, "Yeah, aint that the truth."

"Of course, if all your soldiers are fighting for is a chest, you're gonna be screwed the moment the enemy shows up with one better," an annoyed girl's voice responded to the comment, followed shortly by the owner, a teenage girl that didn't look a day over 16, sporting, of all things, pink hair and matching eyes.

"Ha-ha" Chris began sarcastically "The sad truth is, that a lot of people did join our military for the gorgeous girls, have you ever heard of Company C ? They have an almost one hundred percent female crew, we as Company A don't have much contact with them which explains our low troop numbers but moth company's B and D have more than quadruple the troops we have all because company C is full of hot girls." Chris grabbed a clipboard from the table behind him while Andrew continued "funny thing is, we have only had a couple dozen deserters in the whole history of the Galactic federation." Chris, bringing the clipboard to Star asked "Are you here to enlist?"

A somewhat tall red headed guy, rises from under the ground, using one of his old tactics again, making a sphere of metal around him and acclerating it like a bullet underground and breaking it down so it appeared like he was coming from the ground, to avoid running into things above ground. See the pink girl, the young man says, as he moves to beside her with out even moving he legs, and if anyone looked would notice he is 'hovering' an inch off the ground, "Hey, again, Star, here to enlist, too, I take it." He than shifts the strap his gun is on.

"Not a chance," the girl answered both of them at the same time. "Military really isn't my thing. Too strict. Besides, there's this thing about the military. It's made up of normal people, so people with high levels of powers are only held back by them." As she spoke, she examined her sleeve and flicked off a piece of lint, suggesting it wasn't a very important issue to her, as well as suggesting that she wasn't normal - something the ferrikinetic knew very well, but something the other two probably wouldn't have expected from some teenage girl with neon hair.

Chris and Andrew looked at each other then back at Star, clearly holding back a laugh, after that was subdued Chris said "Well then what are you here for?" Andrew, stepping away from Chris(the black one) moved toward the ferrikinetic handing him the clipboard "Please put your name at the top, then fill out the rest of the form accordingly."

"That's quite possible, but if you're working with them, or ahead of them, doesn't it help you to defend them, that much easier?" he asks as the clipboard and pen began moving independently with the ferrikinetic glancing down occasonally to make sure he makes no errors. "Also, assuming our degree of power, their rule and regulations would fall short of constraining. But if anyone bothered to look at our records they'd see we are both well over a hundred years olds nearing atleast two hundred."

A young looking woman with blonde hair walked by the recruitment stand brushing a stray strand of hair away as she looked at the two men in charge. She smiled gently at the two and looked at the sign they put up.
Well now, it's pretty sad when your recruitment center makes a seven year old's lemonade stand look like a mega-mall. And "bring your own weapons"? Why don't they just say "sign up to be killed here"? What sort of Earth am I on? The woman thought to herself. She then looked over at the remains of the monument she recognised as the Statue of Liberty. Wait! I have seen this Earth before! It was in that movie with that guy and that girl and those monkeys! Wasn't humanity wiped out in that one? That's not good....
During this entire thought session, the woman stared blankly at the sign, making no outward movements. She didn't even notice a familiar voice crow from the ground at Chris's feet.
"Don't flatter yourself, kid." A grey, reptillian hand had punched through the ground at the ferrikenetic's feet. Suddenly the hand slipped back into the hole, and the only thing that could be seen in the tiny black pockmark in the ground was a gleaming red eye. "Damn, James has GOT to fix that Gate. Anyway kid, no one is ever special, you'd be suprised how often people overlook the potential of "normal" people. And no matter how old you are, there's always someone older than you, and they're not gonna be treated any different than you or anyone else, 'cause that's the way things fu%@ing are, Nancy. Quit yer bitchin'. A wise man told me that once." There was a short silence from the hole. "Now, where am I?"

Andrew looked over to Chris who by now was laughing hysterically Once Chris had stopped laughing he straightened up saying "I'm sorry but your little 'we're better than you' speech you just gave was really really funny." Chris noticed the blonde saying "Ah! Are you here to sign up?" while the clipboard was being fetched. Andrew on the other hand was fixated on the talking hole in the ground saying "Seriously, I hope that isin't what i think it is.... but since you wanted to know you happen to be on Earth if you can't find a way out of that hole i know someone who can help you, provided its sealed anyway.

Again, Star shook her head. "No, you both got it wrong. I'm not saying normal people can't do great things. I'm not some arrogant, stuck up witch who thinks I'm better than anyone. And Chris, age doesn't mean anything. The lizard in the ground is right. We're children compared to a lot of people." She turned her attention back to the men behind the counter. "My only point was, to quote Ben Parker, with great power comes great responsibility, and putting our power under the command of someone other than ourselves isn't very responsible."

Chris smirked saying "That implies that the weak have no responsibility and somebody like little old me has a lot or responsibility"

Chris glances down at his feet and the hole simply hovering in one spot, and than looks at Jason, and than at Star, "True... But for us being humans its quite... odd." As he says the word odd, the pen moves on the clipboard writing the words 'Null and Void' over his spot, "Hmm, I think I'll remember that line for later references..." He puts his hand on his gun and causes half of the handle to come off revealing a pocket with what looks like paper with words written on it. The paper floats out and unfolds as the words appear on the paper as it changes colors to form the letters. It than floats back in and the handle reseals itself. "They'd have less responsibility, but everyone has some responsibility..."

Star sighed, putting her hand on her forehead. "No, no, no. It doesn't imply anything! Everyone has responsibility! It simply differs depending on the individual! For the average person, they can achieve something great by working with others in the military and accomplish feats they probably never could on their own, and for many good purposes. But when you have the power to blow up a planet, you don't particularly want to entrust that power to someone else by putting yourself in a position where they control you, by authority or any other method. It's too dangerous. Sometimes, you can't even trust yourself with power. How can you blindly put that kind of control into someone else's hands? It's just not ethical."

"You find the right person" Chris said only halfway listening, evidently he received a call on his cell phone. He was talking to someone that was obviously very important. "Seriously!? Right now? Aw come on! Cant you send company B? Why not? Really? Really? Thats the reason?! Just because they are hangin' with company C this is ridiculous!" He looked around frantically "Ok, ok, i'll be up there in the next thirty minutes or less..."

"I've got the right Person, thanks," Star answered. "The only Person I can trust, and that's because He's infallible."
