Zorium reached the center point of the city and saw a higher building, standing right in the middle, like a skyscraper surrounded by smaller skycrapers, in a circular pattern. He looks at it and then sees Equinox and Hesiods right on another entry point to this center part of the City of Heroes. They meet each other on a stairwalk towards the buidling. They all look up and see the sign of H.T.C., or The "Hero Training Corps" Tower. Then they slightly have the same feeling and then feel vibrations, like the recent earthquake ones, but less powerful and only around there. Hesiods said, "I'll go to the top running on the wall." Equinox didn't even try and said, "Same here, I'll just float up." Zorium looked at them and said, "Guess I'll take the elevator." He entered the building, saw the recpetion all destroyed and saw the reception lady unconsius with her hair all messed up and a guy's head stuck in a pot. "It's obvius it has to be here," he said as he woke them up and told them to leave as far as possible. Then he enters through the corridor, and sees the elevators, surpisingly they were still functional. He got in, looked at the numbers and looked for a button, and clicked "27". He waited for the numbers to go up, and then he reached floor 27. The door opened and he saw Hesiods and Equinox having a battle against a bunch of reptile looking creatures with amazing fighting styles. Zorium walked on the "roof" for a while and saw Shaiden having a battle against a similar looking creature. Hesiods and Equinox had beaten up the others and Shaiden and the other one were fighting barehanded. Shaiden got pushed back and she fell down. The other one pulled it's hand quick and a tube attacked her on the stomach. The other had a similar brown hooded figure like shaiden's clothing, but it had more masculine in it. Assuming it's a male, he took out a giant black blade, and held it with force. As he was about to strike Shaiden with no remorse or guilt, Zorium stopped the sword, with the palm of his hand. In the act of stopping it, a bell-like sound emmited from his hand. Zorium then deflected the sword back at him, distaibalizing him and tripping a little back. His hoodie fell back off, and his face was revealed. A fierce looking man, with eyes as red as crimson. His hair, vibrant black. His skin tone, a little scale like gray and blue. Zorium looked at him, staring like he had no soul. He stood up and said, "The name is Llerox, just so can know the last face you'll ever see before you die. I'll make you suffer, but I assure you, time will reveal when..." He jumped off the building and transformed into an eagle. Hesiods took out a gun and aimed at it. Zorium lowered the gun with his hand and said, "Not now, he's inmune to silver after morphing, Immo's have that..." Equinox took out the same book out and said, "This is one of the apposed legendary creatures named Immortaeliks, said to be a primal life source in the universe and first one to exist. Said to have all bloodtypes into one called the -XYZ. Powerful enough to never die by human power, only those the same species as them can kill them. It also says that these are creatures of both evil and good, said to hide out their morals until they eventually explicitly leave it all out, and never stop, until they die, but hence the name, these creatures are....immortals to others and have power unlike no other." Hesiods scratched his chin and said, "Basically a god with only a weakness themselves know." Zorium replied with, "Just because he is godlike, doesn't mean he is a god." He looks at his watch and says, "There goes my reunion, *sigh* damn it, I wanted to buy extra cocoa with the monthly paycheck." Hesiods looked around and said, "Where's the cute lady?" Zorium said, "She ran away as soon as we blinked her out of our sight." Hesiods replied, "So cute, thought I could ask her out." Zorium looked at him and said, "Sorry to break it for you, but she's 14." Hesiods had a mental breakdown and was dragged by Equinox down. They left down the building and started to help out the community on the earthquake massacre.

Llerox, the immortaelik who caused the earthquake, got away to Leaften Forrest, and saw the animal life and said, "Pretty good spot for a drill infusion. Better call the boss and tell him I had no luck with the city, damn it, he will probably try to kill me for this." He puts on gloves with steel dots on them and starts to aim the ground with a punch. In a blink of a strike he heard someone say, "Help...me.......somebody please......he...lp....me..." He instantly turned into an argonian reptile, a human-looking lizard. He walked towards the sound of help. And he walked and found the body of a girl, hurt by a stomach wound. By the point she had already fainted, so he took her by her neck and legs, and carried her. Midway through the forrest, Llerox started to talk saying, "Today, I did something I wasn't forced to do so, but I did it anyway. It's the only thing that helps me find my clan, and reunite with my brother. At least I learn things about the world while I do it. Today I learned that there is still one ascendant left, apperently, he's the one of us three that know the art of light refracting, or the art of Sei. He managed to stop my Crimson Blade, which is able to cut through black diamonds, almost anything except the skin of a crimsom dragon, although he is an ascendant, he dwells a powerful creature, explaining the reason to why he didn't fight back, because if...." Llerox heard someone else's steps, and stopped talking. And saw a blue haired guy walking around whistling. The Guy stopped and looked at Llerox saying, "Hey man, do you know where's the city of Jekaria, I'm kinda lost here, hope I didn't interupt you?" Llerox replies with, "It's fine, I'm on my way to the City Of Heroes, to leave this wounded girl on the local hospital. Jekaria is all the way after a lake by your right, directly north from there, and you'll find it. It's a ruined, abandoned, and destroyed city, but whatever you do, don't run into a black horned guy, he's supposedly the one responsable for the destruction of it. Also, grab a lake venom crystal, they might be handy for potions later on, assuming you are an independent hero." The guy waved and said, "The name is Nathan Aberion, Have a nice day!" Nathan said as he ran really quickly towards the directions he gave him. Llerox stopped to move and covered her body with his hoodie, and carried her towards the city entrance. He changed his eye's colors from green to black, easier to be hidden with having a black iris. He saw the gates broken, with some guards injured, he looked at them and began to give them heavenly light treatment. The guards were still unconsious so he put them up against the wall, and put a dark mantle on them to cover for cold, and carried the girl back to the city. As an incognito argonian, he stole another argonian's ID and used it as his own. He looked at the ID and changed his face while no one was noticing. He then ran carrying her into the hospital. As a side-efffect from his morphing powers, he can also comunicate to every creature, and his tongue adapts to every language, assuming as if it was their original. He entered speaking argonian, everyone was in pain and agony, he thought to himself, -Crap, I caused this, I can't fix it, at least I know who am I dealing with the next time.- He saw everyone screaming in pain, he felt bad and horrible, so all he did was go to the woman in charge in the middle of the emergency room. He speaked on perfect argonian to the person in charge, making him look a natural argonian. The woman pointed him to a room with spare beds. He walked in, and left her on the bed. He walked out and bumped into Zorium. Zorium looked at him deeply and said, "Begone, I'll pulse some light through you." Llerox was suprised Zorium saw him without overthinking. Llerox replied with, "I'm not trying to fight you, I'm just following and order." Zorium then replied, "I know that you know who's power I'm wielding, but it ain't that secret. However, I can easily find you by your look, even if you morph into something else, you always have that same feature, that desperate look to find justice." Zorium walked away walking with the same deadly stare. Llerox thought to himself, -He owns the dragon inside him?!?- Zorium stops walking and says, "He has a name and He's my friend, I can't own a friend can I?" Zorium leaves outside, leaving Llerox suprised by the fact that he not just got recognized in another form, but that he can hear thoughts? Llerox went into the supply room, and summoned a package of healing supplies, but enhanced to heal faster, because he actually didn't meant to hurt anyone, he was just misplaced because of an order. He then morphed into his human form, or the form he uses to blend in. He went outside the hospital and morphed into a tiny lizard and then ran into the woods. After a while he was in the woods, he morphed into an eagle, and flew away to his base, or wherever he works at.
