Episode 9- The Past

"Your power s to heal" Max says standing up.

'Healing? Wow that is such a good power. It would explain why I died and came back. And why my leg healed so fast.'

"Wow" Cole says surprised.

'I didn't even think I had a power.'

"Yeah and that's just some of it. Now that all of you are here its time to tell you about how and why you got your powers." Max smiles.

I look up. "Did we get them from our parents?" I say wondering.

"Let me get to that first" Max laughs.

I nod. 'It was weird seeing him like this. As a human. And how Morgan knew about him.'

"Well lets start" Max says taking a deep breath.

'I knew this was going to be long.'

"Well a long time ago there were three kingdoms. Earth, Mars and Pluto." Max crosses his arms explaining.

"You mean the planets?" Morgan raises a brow.

He nods. "Yes. But 1000's of years ago the planets all were together. We lived in a somewhat peaceful land. Until..." He sighs. "The Pluto people hated that they got the dark side of the lands. They started to riot. They tried to over throw us. See the only ones that didn't have "powers" were the humans. They were the weakest ones. But us Mars people were much stronger. But...the problem was that we didn't live long. We had a short life span unlike everyone else."

"So we are from Mars?" Cole scratches his head.

Max nods. "Yes. Anyways, the Earth and Mars people came together. We decided that we would build a team of supers. We will put Mars people through hell so we could find the most powerful ones. And the ones that would be chosen will fight the Pluto people."

"I'm confused. Are you saying the Pluto people are shadows?" Katy looks confused.

He nods. "They are. See they were born like that. But there are two different types of shadows. There are the ones that we fought today and the than there is the more powerful ones that are pretty much royalty."

"So the royal ones are..?" I look at him confused. 'All of us were. This was new to us.'

"They don't attack random people. They send the lesser ones. Like today." He sighs. "Now as I was saying, the royal shadows look like us but with blue skin. They are evil. So when we chose the people to help fight for us we were sad to know that only five made the cut. Each had the same powers all you have"

We all look at one another.

"We battled the shadows for years. Trying to shorten them. But it did nothing. We fought and fought but nothing. It wouldn't shorten them. They kept coming and coming. Until we found out something. The five that we chose started to change. They each started to develop new powers. It still was similar to their original but they soon started to gain the others powers. Like copying and pasting. It helped us but it didn't last long. One by one of the five got sick. Until one stood left. He was the most powerful. He had gotten stronger when the others fell sick. It was like he was draining all their powers. Killing them. And...it did. He didn't mean for it. It just sort of happened." He takes a deep breath. "He was left to battle. And he did the job. He did until it got to the point that he was WAY too powerful that he couldn't control them anymore. He had became insane. So in his last good act he divided the lands into planted. Creating three. To protect the humans he erased their minds to forget the other worlds. So they could live in peace. He also let us drain him. We took the powers from him. And we froze him. Until the day he could be awoken to help us again when we could control the powers as well. And its been 1000 years and we still haven't figured it out. But we have kept trying. Each time a baby is born from our planet we would injected them with the powers. One for each baby. We would than send them to earth. So they could live a normal life until they find out their powers."

"So we were just your lab rats?!" Morgan grabs him. "How dare you!"

Cole grabs her. "Hey.." he pulls her away. "It's not his fault."

She nods. Still looking angry at Max.

He rubs his throat. "Listen, you can think that but we only did it to help fight the shadows. Don't you want to get your planet back?!"

"Wait! You caused the humans to disappear?" I look at him in disgust.

"No!" He shakes his head. "I would never! That's a long story but I promise you will find out."

'Wow. Who knew this is why all this crap has been happening.' I look at Max. "So what now?"

He smiles. "Now we go home" He presses a button on his wrist and out of thin air a portal opens up. A blue twirl.

"Whoa" Brandon and Katy both say looking at the portal.

Max laughs. "Time to go home" He stands next to the portal. "But.."

We all stop from walking towards and look at him.

"I must tell you one last thing" He sighs. "I didn't tell you this part just yet but I think you all need to know."

'What did we need to know now?'

"You five are different than the other babies." He looks at us.

"What do you mean?" Cole looks at him.

"I'm saying that..." He groans not wanting to say the next part. "Instead of injecting you five with powers..you were born with them"

"Born with them? So what does that mean?" Morgan tilts her head.

"I don't know yet but it could mean something..hopefully" Max smiles. "So now that you know that part you each can jump in!"

"Jump in?" Katy pokes the portal. "I'm kind of scared of it"

I stare at the ground. "So if we were born with these powers how come our parents aren't here?"

Max looks sad.

My heart beats fast.

"It means that the people that we were raised with weren't our actual parents" Morgan bites her lip. "Isn't that right?"

'So..this whole time my parents weren't my real ones?' I clutch my fists. 'NO! I don't care! I loved them..' I go to say something but Morgan beats me to it.

"ITS A LIE! MY PARENTS HAVE BABY PICTURES OF WHEN I WAS BORN! AND THEY KNEW ABOUT MY POWERS! THEY WERE OKAY WITH IT!" She stomps her foot.

I see tears run down her face. 'Guess I'm not the only one hurt by this' "I AGREE!" I stand next to her.

We exchange looks. But focus our eyes back on Max.

'There was no way this was true!'

Max looks at us both. "Listen, it's true!" He yells mad.

I felt like punching him. "Then explain!"

"FINE! I WILL!" He yells. He than takes a deep breath. "Jump in and you'll soon find out. Both of you." He jumps in.

"I can't!" Katy shakes her head.

Brandon goes to her. "It's okay. I'll hold your hand if you want" he puts out his hand.

She smiles. "O-okay" She grabs it.

Both jump in.

'Where was Max taking us? Was it really home? Or was it something else?' I look at the portal scared.

Morgan groans but jumps in.

My palms were sweaty. I was nervous. I suddenly felt a hand with mine. I look beside me and see Cole smiling at me. I blush a little.

"Lets go.." he gently walks with me towards it.

I felts a little safer with him holding my hand. But still I was freaking out.

We jump in.
