The sky over New York city was black. The clouds had all amassed themselves together to form a wall that blotted out the sun. Dogs howled in warning of the omnipotent as busy passers by walked up and down the streets nervous of the rain they knew would soon begin to fall. The air was electrifying. Thick with presence. Filled with meaning.

Max Wavechrest hurried along the crowded streets. The heavens let loose there bounty. The rain hit the ground hard. Max jumped for cover under the canopy of a fish stall to shield his canvas from the rain.

“OH COME ON” He yelled stamping his foot on the ground. His brown hair lying limp on his head. He ruffled his hair around with no avail at making it any better. He stood under the canopy sneaking a look of the sky. There was no hope the rain was going to stop. Max looked at the shop keeper who was closing up shop, taking the stall apart and getting ready to roll in the canopy before it got completely saturated.

“Oh no please don’t,” Max began gesturing toward the canopy “Just two minutes, please. Just until the rain stops, please sir, please”. But to no avail the shop keeper shock his head at Max as the canopy began to reseed into the wall.

“Oh no, I’m asking you, please sir just-” Max requested angrily but it was two lat the canopy was gone and all that was left was the unrhythmic tapping of rain on his head. Max was quick to action running into a side street for some cover from the now brooding storm. Standing against the grimy wall Max was trying to stuff the canvas up his coat so as to avoid it getting wet. He had paid good money for it and didn’t see why it should be wasted just because of a bit of bad weather.

The cloud finally unleashed to their fullest. The water began to hurtle down in torrents towards the now empty streets. The still swelling clouds roamed around the sky like fish in a pond as the wicked wind battered them across the vast grey playing field that was the sky.

The sky roared above Max’s head. The wind was beginning to change and Max was soon able to feel the full brunt of the storm. The thunder bellowed over head making it hard for Max to even hear his thoughts which were few and far between at that moment. The rain battered his face, the thunder was savaging his ears and the lighting blinded him.

The storm had a mind of its own.

Max began to run onto the main street. Max fell hard onto the wet ground .

“AGH” he yelled in pain. There was a deep gash in his forehead. Max put his hands on the ground to lift himself up. He felt heat underneath his palm. Shielding his eyes from the veracious weather Max swept the stray newspapers from the area.

Max withdrew in horror,

“A body!” He exclaimed. Clearing the rest of the area Max grabbed the body by the shoulders and turned it towards him.

The storm raged on above the scene.

Max looked at the man. About his age with dark brown hair, he was wearing a strange black suit with a white symbol on the chest.

“what the hell..” Max said as he looked at the unconscious body.

The man jumped to alertness grapping Max’s head and drawing him near, he looked into Max’s eyes with an intensity so deep it seared Max tried to avert his gaze, but the man was so strong. With fleeting breathe the figure relinquished one word from his pursed lips,

The litter of New City was dancing in the air. Like some greatly orchestrated ballet plastic bags and torn sheets of newspaper wafted through the air in a graceful lament. The rain pounding the ground the buildings, anything. The rapid beat it set ensuring that the dancers moves were more ragged and untamed. Stray bolts of lighting flashed and fizzled on the great canvas above, providing the fluorescent lighting for the dramatic stage below. Thunder providing the applauding, forever egging on the act to continue. No living thing dared enter the streets into this hellish realm, save two.

The canvas was long forgotten back in the alleyway. Max stood amidst the panic of the empty streets. He sought refuge. To find shelter from the rain. He needed warmth. Light.

The clouds masked the sky. Like an unstirred cup of tea they swirled in and out of each other like an internal knot, only ever being broken by the forceful strikes of lighting trying to gain the sweet relief of freedom from that murky hell.

Max's walked as one in the great dance. Each step in time to the rattle and hum of the instruments. The dancers took him as one of them as they swirled around and about him, never touching.

His arms outstretched the body lying askew in them. The matted brown hair had been washed away from his face and now his features lay bare before the world. His eyes frantically behind their shut lids. His nose was prominent meeting the line of his chin. His cheek bones poked out on both sides given the slight impression of a square jaw. His skin was pale and as the rain drizzled down the cracks and contours of his pained face it gave the impression of a crying man.

Max’s course was unchanging. His slow and scattered steps lead him on a meandering path to his unknown destination. His was not himself. He was inhabited by another. His eyes stayed steady and true, focused and determined as if on a matter of life or death.

Streams of water wafted through, past and around the pillar like feet. Max had stopped. He could not feel the cold rain pattering about his hair, running down his face to his neck and soaking itself into the collar of his t-shirt. He could not feel it. He could not feel.

He walked from the massive water way onto the pavement. A door was built in front of him.

A door was built.

The portal room was filled with broken machinary and other tid bits all to be found in a lab of sorts. At the center of the massive warehouse room were several circular metalic frames all mounted on a platform one beside the other. Spectrum stood on the platform. The sparks which jumped from frame to the ground lit his angular face in unusall ways making his appear sinister. He stood before a motly crew. Super heros, well at least they hated to be called that.

There was the Professor, neat hair, glasses and as always long brown trench coat, the android, shining a head taller then all the others, Osmosis, long raven black hair running to his elbow, Jason, vibrent green hair, wearing only his torn cacky shorts, Hercules, Blonde like his father, clad in jeans and a yelow t shirt,Gareth red hair leather jacket red jeans, Zeus standing behind the four of the boys longish blonde hair wearing a belt across his shoulder going horizontal across his chest.

One of the metallic frames began to ring and vibrate then egnited in a thin wine what appeared to be a portal of red light. It swilred all the possable colours of red in it. the centre where the colours were the brightest to the center where deep crimson ruled supreme.

spectrum thrust his head wildly into the air and pointed menacingly at the professor,

"I TOLD YOU!" He screamed the portal created a strong wind in the room and his unkept hair danced across his bloodshot eyes.
"You thought you could do it" He was shouting over the wind at the man below "You could never do it. I was meant to unlock these secrets that why im here"

"You did do it. spectrum you dont..." the profeessor began. spectrum cut him off

"I did it! Me! Its what i was made for"  He was raving now foam forming at the cornor of his lips " You thought you, with your robot and you..."

"I am an android" the android butted in.

"SHUT UP" Spectrum screamed and in a flash the android was blown  to the back of the room spectrum ontop of him blasting his iron skin with his molten rays. The two grappled while the other came to interevene by which time the android was on his feet spots on his skin red hot were spectrum had attacked.
Spectrum lay panting on the ground blood trickled from his nose. "COME ON THE" he roared.
he jumped to his feet and lunged at Jason. Jason went for his face, the tatoo on his back spreading up his arms to his fist which made a solid conection with Spectrums jaw. Spectrum fellto the ground and from there blasted Jasons legs knocking his to the ground aswell. specrtum was beside him in an instant and going for an execution stlye hit his fingers cocked at the base of his skull. Osmosis and Gareth jumped in Gar blasting spectrums face with his microwaves Osmosis wrapping his chest as water around hisarms and legs. Hercules went for the body lightening forming in hi hand as he drew back to throw it, Zeus screamed
"NO" But it was to late the bolt left his hand and connected with spectrums body. the elctrical current carrying through into Osmosis now water body which exploded instantly.

The water still rippling with electricity splached al over Gar and he was thrown back wards his micro waves flying ary. One hit Jason as he was scrambling away from the fight the adroid dogded  a praticulary naty wave and Zues took a hit to the arm as he jumped into stop spectrum from going near Hercules Now locked in a fist fight the two wrestled on the floor. they became a blur as Zeus called down his lightning and spectrum flashed and fizzed.

the android grabbed Jason and got him out of the line of fire, sliding him along the now slick floor, He helped Gar to his feet. Clenching his fists Gars upper body errupted into flames he went to attack the two wrestling figures but Hercules standing on the far side shouted

"No. Youll hit him.." He hesitated as did Gar,

"We cant just watch" Gar shouted back,

"Some times that is all we can do" the Android said in his metallic wrasp.

the professor was helping Jason to his feet and taking him farther from the battle.
"J, I'm going to need your help with this supposed portal system" the Professor ushered him towards the nearest computor monitor.
they set to work.

the wind in the massive room began to pick up. the second metal frame began another low whine and exploded in an orange light. Much like the first it was messmorizing.

"Professor, this isnt going to work" Jason shouted from behind a massive modem. "Your not going to be able to shut it down."

"I think your Right J" The Professor stopped what he was doing and wiped his brow, he put his hand in his pocket to get his handkechief but instead felt the cold plastic device dorian Grey had brought into this dimension.

The teo men looked at each other.

"Its worth a shot" J said.

Zeus threw spectrum into the air , a massive bolt of lighning broke through the roof and struck the villain into the ground again.
He lay motionles on the ground in the demented floor, smoking his ead lolling.

the third portal now erupted into life yellow light streaming fromthe celestial opening.

"Its over" Zeus said walking towards the body, He put his foot on spectrums throat,

"I think not"

Spectrum exploded sending all four figures into the air crashing into walls and aluble equipment, the android sailing clean through the roof to the outside.

Specrum was now hovering in the air looking at the Professor, he shot towards the man.

J jumped infront of the maniac only to be thrown aside. the proffessor strapped the time dilation device to his wrist and slammed his palm onto the start device.

Time slowed down around the professor. He watched J sailing thourgh the air a look of pain and horror over his face and he watched Srpctrum coming straght at him. at a snails pace.
