A sight into the future.

Disaster everywhere I turn, what have I woken up to? Is this real, how did I get here? Questions swimming around in my mind, my head feeling light and foggy.

I get up out of the rubble of the street and immediately regret it when I feel a sharp pain in my left leg, I look down on it and saw a huge gash running up from my thigh to my ankle. I am still in my suit, but it is torn in various places. I ignore the pain and look around my surrounding, and what I saw made my heart break. The city is in ruins, buildings and roads in rubble and crumble to pieces. The sky covered in a ashy grey smoke, and the place erie quiet.

'What happen here, why can't I remember?' I hear my own thoughts in my head. 'Where is everyone, where are my teammates?'

I started to walk around, looking for any sign of life. When I am about to give up, I here someone calling my name.

"Miayana!" I look in the distance and see dad running up to me. I run-limp and met him half way and he pull me into a hug. "Oh, I thought that I would never see you again." He squeeze me even tighter.

"Dad, what is happening? Where is everyone?" We pull apart and he look at me strangely.

"What do you mean? The world is like this because of what happen to you a year ago." I look at him, still lost by what is happening around me. "Are you ok Mia? you look really confused." Dad examine me closely.

"That is because I am, why does the city look like this? Why is everything in shambles and rubbles, where is everyone? It feels like an apocalyptic zone." I mumble the last part." Dad open his mouth to say something, but suddenly a fireball hurl straight at us. Dad push me out of the way just in time that it hit the ground, a big crater in the ground where it landed.

I look in the direction the fireball came from and see Dai floating in the air coming towards us, he is in his Soul Searcher suit but it wasn't it usual colour. It is full black, and the closer he got I notice that he has on a metallic arm. And the look in his eyes, oh man those eyes. They look emotionless and lifeless, they cheerful dark blue orbs is now icy and menacing.

What is happening, what went wrong? What happen to my brother?

"Miayana look out!" Dad shouted, just in as another fireball came my way. I put my two hands up, and I close my eyes waiting for the painful impact but nothing came. I peek through one eye, and I see a purple force field in front of me. I open my eyes fully, and realise that I am the one that created the force field.

'How did I do that?' I thought to myself. I put my hands down and the force field disappear, and Dai gave me no time to fully grasp what is happen as he hurl a big chunk of rock at me. I dive out of the way, landing hard into a pile of crumbled debris. I can feel the scraping of the sharp edges of the rocks ripping my skin.

"Miayana, we have to go now. Move!" Dad yell, grabbing my hand as we run in the opposite direction that I came from.

"What is happening, why is Dai trying to hurt us. Please tell me?" I sob, but dad just continue to pull me after him. "DAD! Would you please." I pull my hand from him when we finally stop under the over head bridge, my body aching from the pain of the numerous cuts i have gotten. "Please tell me, because I am so confused." I plead.

He look at me for a bit, then realisation hit him. "You are not the Miayana from here."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You come from the past, I didn't know that you could time travel." He said sounding intrigue.

"Me either." I mumble, still trying to wrap my head around all of this. "So, this is the future?"

Dad nodded and the sigh, a far away look came across his face, and sadness swim in his eyes. "I guess that she didn't make it then." He mutter under his breath.

"Can you please just tell me what is happening, because I don't remember anything."

"A year ago you were captured by the League." When he said that, a flicker of some images started to flash through my mind but not clear enough for me to remember. "We came to rescue you, but we were too late. They already had drawn dosages of your blood, and they already injected you with some bromtonium they experiment on and place a chip in your bloodstream so that they can mind control you." He stop to talking to look at me, like really look deep into my eyes. "You took out both Soul Searcher and Onna in one go, poor Robyn was crippled by the end of it. And Dai, you almost..." He gulp audibly before talking again. "You almost killed him." My heart sink at what he said, and my eyes watered. Did I really caused this, I am responsible for everything that happened here. But I really don't remember any of it." I grip my head, and focus hard but nothing happen. No flicker of any memory, it is like I am a blank slate. "They captured Dai and Robyn- no, you brought them on a silver platter to the League after you were finished with them. They strung them up and started to experiment on them, using Robyn as their first test subject on the formula they created with your blood and bromtonium."

"So where were you when all of that was happening, why did you let them go alone. We were supposed to be a team, we should have stuck togather no matter what happened. And you let them go alone." I cried, I slide down the wall and I just cried. Not caring if my dad was there looking at how vulnerable and weak I look.

I am feeling pain, both emotionally and physically right now. I still can't wrap my head around me causing all of this.

"I am sorry Miayana, but Onna and Soul Searcher wanted to go alone. Saying that I need to stay at the base to protect Apinya, your mother and Hase. They said that they would bring you back, and it would be too risky for all three of the powered Heskeths to be at the exact same place with the League. And at that time, I agreed with them, I couldn't leave Apinya unprotected after I lied to her so many times and almost put her in danger. Hase has a family to get back to, and even though Brice act like he doesn't have a heart, he loves his father so much. I couldn't take his father away from him. And your mother, even though i had moved on but she had still meant a lot to me-"

"What do you mean by meant?" I ask in alarm, I already have a feeling about what he is going to say. But you always have to think the best first before resulting to the negativity of the situation.

A grave look pass over dad's face, and all the positivity went right out the window. "After Dai and Robyn didn't come back after one and a half day, I went out to look for them. When I got to the medical center, you and Dai attacked me, and then they released Robyn after they had done experimented on her. You guys went to the base and destroyed everything that was there, incul-"

"No!" I cry out, I clutch my chest as my heart shattered into million of pieces. "No, no. This can't be true, it just can't be." I grit my teeth.

I felt dad kneel down beside me, and he pull me into a hug.

"Hey, hey. It is ok, shhh. We can change this, you can change this."

"What do you mean?" I said through my sobs.

"You can stop this all from happening. You just have to time travel back to your time and stop this from ever happening."

"But I don't know how, I don't even know how I got here in the first place. I can't remember anything." I grip my head. Why can't I remember?

"You must try, the world is depending on you. All those people that died, Nathan," My ears perk up when I hear Nathan's name.

"W-what happened to Nathan?"

Dad look hesitant for a minute, and I glare at him. Why is he hiding things from me, I need to know the truth.

"Dad, you need to tell me everything that you know. I need to know."

He swallowed nervously, before looking at me with sympathy in his eyes. "When you started attacking the city, along with your brother and the new and improve Robyn and those androids. Nathan is the first citizen that you- you killed him Mia, you tore through his mind like a piece of paper, melting his brain." Another wave of sob rocked me as what my father said sink in, never in my wildest of nightmare would i have ever thought that I would have the heart to kill someone. I need to undo this, I need to save the world. Because I made an oath, that I will always do anything in my power to stop the League. And this future that I just stepped into, I will make sure that they pay dearly for what happened.

"They experimented on so many people, the corona virus being the least of everyone's problem as a bigger threat loom over their heads. Now the whole world is in danger, with a lot of countries looking like this city. No survivors left in the city, only me. Trying to find away to take down the League and my son, and your former best friend."

"S-so what h-happened to me, why did you seem so relived when you saw me back there?"

"After they captured me, they took my blood. Experimented on me, turning me into a monster high with power. My body changed, I became bulky. Muscles poturding everywhere, my powers were out of control. And I felt like I would burst any minute. They tried to brain washed me, but I was strong. They tried to break me when news reached my ears about the death of Apinya, your mother and Hase, but it only fuel my revenge against them. Throughout all the horror and destruction you guys caused, I never lost hope. I waited and planned my escape, until one day I got through to you. You broke through the mind controlled and you freed me, you also tried to get through to Dai and Robyn but you failed. We tried taking down the League but lost that battles because we were out numbered, we went into hiding. Fighting the League every chance we got. One day you desided that you had to get through to Dai and Robyn, but you never came back. They mind link we shared wasn't active anymore, and I felt your aura slipped away. It was just me now, and I fought how ever I could, and today when I saw you my heart became whole again. But now knowing that you can save this world, I am beyond elated. Knowing that you have the power to change this out come, and I promise I will do every and anything to help you get back to the past. But it is not safe here, we need to get to my hideout." Dad peak his head out from the beam that we are hiding behind to see if the coast is clear, a few minutes of scanning our surrounding he nodded and told me to follow him.

We walk through the destroyed streets, and I stare at the disaster around me. I can't believe that I am the cause of this, how could I have been so weak minded to get captured and for the League to brainwash me. I really thought that I was stronger than that. All those lives were lost because of me.

"Just a couple of blocks up a head." Dad said breaking me out of my self scolding. I nodded my head, it feeling weary from everything that is happening.

We continue walking, but being mindful of the area. And I don't know what happened, but the next thing I know that I am being stab in the back. I slowly look around to face my attacker, and it is like all the wind has been knocked out of me when I saw the menacing smirk on Robyn's face. Her eyes glowimg yellow as she twist her katana round and round in her hands. I look down and saw that the katana had impaled me from my back and was now sticking out at the right side of my abdomen, but the pain didn't hurt as much as it hurts to see Robyn with the look of pour evil on her face.

"You are hard to kill." She snarl in my face. "I thought that I burned you just like how you did me with your lightning bolts, I guess that I have to burn you again." Her eyes glows even harder, and dad just manage to shield me under him as the yellow lasers from Robyn's eyes burn his back. Dad grit his teeth in pain, but fought through it.

"When I tell you to run, you run." He whisper to me, and I nodded. He slowly got up off of me, putting his hands up in surrender. "We surrender, come and take us." He said, and when Robyn take a step towards us. He kick her feet from under her and she fell on her back. "Run!" Dad yell to me, as he freeze her on the ground.

I take of running, the pain finally kicking in, in my side. My vision started to get blurry, maybe because of the amount of blood that I was losing. But I know that I can't give up, not now. Not when I have the future to change.

I stubble over a chunk of debris, and I could feel the lightness in my head, dad run and pick me up bridal style and sprint the rest of the way with me. He stop at the underground railway, carried me down the rocky walkway. He pull the metal lock off the gate to the train station, and we walk a little further to a broken down room area that look like it was an office. Getting closer to it, I found out that it was the lost and found office that kept things that were left by people on the trains. Dad put his hand on a scanner and the door click open, he lay me down on a makeshift bed and started to examine my wound.

"Oh no, it went right through you." I wince as he press down a piece of cloth on the wound to try and stop the bleeding. "I need to check to see if it punctured any on your organs." He put my hands on the piece of cloth, telling me to add pressure to it. He then got up and went over to a desk and pull out a drawer, taking out a transparent scanner thingy and came back over to me.

"W-what *cough* is that?" I can taste blood in my mouth.

"It is an x-ray scanner, and it can also help me to see your organs too. Hase and Dai was working on it-" He stop talking and turn on the scanner, moving my hands away and hold the scanner over my abdomen. "It punctured one of your kidney and a part of your liver. We have to get you to go back to the pass, because if you stay here you will die and all hope of getting free from this future will die with you."

"Dad, i-i *cough* s-sorry *cough. I never meant for any of this to happen." I break out in a coughing fit. Worry wash over dad's face, and fear sparks his eyes.

"It is ok sweetheart, it is not your fault. If it is anyone's fault it is mine, for i should have ensure that you were safe. Even though I didn't know that you would have inherit my curse, but I should have ensure that-"

*Cough* "It is ok Dad, you though that I was dead. There is no way that you could have kept me safe, but like you said. We can change this. So let us do that and stop blaming ourselves." My words starting to slur.

Dad kept pressure on my wound to slow the bleeding down.

"Miayana, we are running out of time. You need to focus, you need to remember what happened why you ended up here. Just dig deep into your mind." I close my eyes and tried to remember. I struggle to push through the emptiness and the blurriness from the lost of blood. I tried to focus and succeeded as flicker of my memories started to appear. I can hear and see images, flashes of me in my suit on a building watching people. The voices of Onna and Soul Searcher ringing in my head, something stick me in my neck. But it is all so blurry. The memory started slipping, and I started to cough up blood.

"Miayana don't lose hope, you can do this. Just remember that our power doesn't come from in our blood, it has nothing to do with it. It lies in us, and that is what the League doesn't know. Just remember Mia, you need to push through the fog."

The fog, that's it. All the memories, everything that happened swore through my mind. Vincent telling me where the League is operating, Onna, Soul Searcher and I going to patrol the area. Me thinking that Vincent was playing us, and the tranquilizer dart that was shot into my neck. The foggy feeling in my head. I remember it all now, I have been captured by the League.

My head started to pound, and darkness consume me. I fight through it, and it is like a ton of bricks hit me in the face as I slowly open my eyes. I started to panic, as I thrash around trying to get out of the bondage that is tying me down to the metal table.

"Oh, you are awake. Good, time for phase two." The man that I remember the computer showing me as Dr Curtis Palmer.

I scream out in pain as they inject something in me, they liquid burning into my skin and into my blood stream. Tears ran down my cheeks, as I remember that this is the start of that horrific future that I just saw.

I can't let it happen, not again.
