The Event - The Family Part 1 (Escape
from Dimension X)
<The
Omega Sanction>
"WE
HAVE INCOMING!!!" One of the techs screamed at Alpha just as the roof
caved in with a gigantic explosion. Fire and shrapnel ripped through the main
computer room, sparks shot from the various devices stored in and around the
main hub, smoke began to billow and swirl around.
Alpha stood as the last pieces settled on the ground, he surveyed the area and found his entire technical staff dead, 90% of the machines inoperable and a large ship punched through with its engines winding down. Across the bow, the paint badly damaged: HelixONE.
Alpha sighed and strode to the hatch of the ship. He reached out and grasped it by the hinges and wrenched as hard as he could, the metal quickly cooled, then cracked and shattered under the pure PSI of his grasp.
"I know that you are in there. Please exit the ship quickly." He called into the opening, his voiced echoing back at him.
"I'm coming, and I'm all alone! I'm coming out." A massive pile of rocks shifted into position in front of the door, started to climb out, then collapsed. "But I think something went wrong." It mumbled.
"No shit," One of the wounded not quite dead technical staff whispered.
"Grab that...whatever the hell it is and bring it to the Gamma Labs. Send in two teams to search the rest of the ship." Alpha walked away before his anger destroyed the creature and before he could get some answers.
<Inside HelixONE>
Richard Reader watched from one of the still working monitors. Robert Garvey had saved them for a few minutes at least. "I don't know what to do." His wife, Sadie, hissed at his side. "I can't stop glowing." He shot a harsh look over his shoulder at her.
"Be quiet. I'm thinking," He whispered.
"Don't do that, this is affecting all of us," she retorted. "You aren't alone here."
"Yes, DEAR," He replied. "But unless you have a plan in that glowing bosom of yours I suggest you be quiet." Her mouth opened and closed but she remained silent.
The entire ship shuddered as the zone next to it exploded in a million shards of icy death, flying into the corridors and wrecking havoc.

"I think perhaps, things outside have gotten worse," Reader spoke, "We need to move now, before something even worse happens." He grabbed his wife's glowing hand and motioned for the super-heated Jordana to follow them. He led them up the length of the ship and towards the landing gear compartments.
Outside the gear's hatch in an adjacent hallway, two of the Omega Sanction employee's were working on cutting into the ship from below, and were taken completely by surprise when the outside of the hull exploded outward in super-heated metal. Their deaths were instantaneous.
Reader dropped out and then helped Jordana and Sadie down in turn. She gasped at the melting, burning corpses, and then began to cry. Reader's eyes narrowed. "We don't have time for this, we need to find Robert and escape from wherever we have landed, without 'starting shit' as Black put it."
"I think we're too late for that," Sadie responded.
He smirked, "You may be right, dear." He began to move.
<The Omega Sanction>
Black
Sapphire walked from the hole she had created down from the surface along side
of the crashed ships impact point.
Freezing the soil down on an angle and boosting her strength to its
maximum before punching and shattering a hole down into the underground
complex.
“ALPHA!!”
She screamed out.
She strode
through the debris of the earth, metal and ship as she searched for her
opponent. She heard a chuckle from the
ground near her feet and she looked down and saw a computer tech buried under
the rubble, a pool of blood slowly spreading out from him. “What’s so funny jackass?” She asked as she knelt beside him.
“You,
you’re here…cough…to die, just as the shit starts to hit the fan…cough…heh,
Alpha is going to kill you, we know everything there is to know about you,” his
eyes slid shut and he breathed his last breath.
“Not
everything retard, I hardly ever use all of my powers.” Sapphire stood back up and stepped over the
corpse and continued to make her way through the hallways leading out of the
central computer zone, she noted as she exited that the walls were painted like
a hospital with colored arrows leading to different parts of the complex. She noticed some blood on the floor heading
towards the Gamma Labs and Central Offices; she started down the hallway in
that direction.
<Deeper in the Omega Sanction>
"I have no idea what is going on but we need to find Robert and exit as soon as we can." Richard hissed.
"These tubes..." Sadie pointed as an explosion shook them violently in their housings. "There are people inside of them." From behind the glass a woman in the nearest tube stared at them, her cheek crossed in a scar. "I think she's awake."
"It doesn't matter. Let's move." Reader pulled at her and they continued deeper.

<The
Epsilon Center>
Sapphire
walked into the Central Office and found a maze of cubicles and a large empty
room. Large flat screen televisions were
scattered around the room, several had the rainbow of a dead signal, but one
showed a group of technicians fighting a pile of rocks and Alpha talking to
them as they struggled. She snarled and
stepped back out and began to run down the hallway towards the Gamma Lab.
<The
Gamma Lab>
Sapphire
kicked the sliding doors of the Gamma Labs inwards in an explosion of glass and
metal shards. She snarled at the
technicians frozen in shock at her entrance and they began to back away from
her. Alpha smiled at her.
“Welcome
child,” he spoke loudly and his voice carried.
“Asshole
it’s time I took you down for all the crap you have put me through,” her
knuckles popped as she leapt at him. He
responded with a single fist, the shockwave rocked the floor.
<The Surface>
Agents
stood around the massive wounds in the Earth, their weapons at the ready, just
as Reader and his people breached the surface nearby. The Agents pivoted on the new opponents.
Reader
stared back at them. "We
Come in Peace?" He spoke quickly.
Agents
Frost and Powerhouse moved to the front of the group. “We’re with the DSA and you will submit to
containment until the scene is secure and we have had time to question you
thoroughly about what has happened.”
Reader nodded. Several Agents
moved up with handcuffs, two of which were bulky and when placed on Jordana and
Sadie shut their abilities off.
“Interesting,”
Reader mumbled. The Agents led them to a
van and placed them in the back and closed them inside and moved back to secure
the scene as the sounds of battle began to waft up through the holes and the
ground began to vibrate from the conflict that raged beneath the surface.
