First Step
Pure, Alisha, Carolina, Jack, Horatio, Xiao and Zhēnbǎo all headed from the fort to where one life ended and the other began. For Xiao and Zhēnbǎo it was their family home, for Horatio and Jack it was their homes too, for Alisha it was the house where she grew up in but it was burned down many years ago and was rebuilt. Carolina had to head to her old home while Pure had to go back to the apartment where he was taken. When Pure touched down the building that was there wasn't touched throughout the years after it was burned down, the remaining structure was still standing, nature took over what was left and no one has touched it ever since.
Pure: Everyone in position?
Alisha: Yeah.
Carolina: Here.
Jack: Yup.
Horatio: Check.
Zhēnbǎo: We are home.
Pure: All right everyone, create a barrier so you won't be disturbed.
Everyone created a barrier around themselves and sat down on the ground. They took out the vial and looked at it.
Pure: All right everyone see you on the other side.
Everyone opened the vial and drank its contents. Soon enough they started to get sleepy, they fell asleep and the potion let them reach inside of themselves. Each one of them was back in time back to when they were before their lives changed. For Xiao and Zhēnbǎo, it was before the acid rain hit them, for Horatio it was when he was gaming on his computer, for Jack it was him sitting down on the stairs of his home, for Carolina it was her coming home from school, for Alisha she saw herself playing with her friends and for Pure the apartment was rebuilt, his refurbished truck was there.
Pure went inside and down to the basement, when he got there he saw himself welding together a circuit. The other Pure hears something; he turns around and sees Pure.
Young Pure: Hello, who are you?
Pure: Uh... This may be hard to explain.
Young Pure: I can understand.
Pure: I'm you.
Young Pure: What do you mean, you're me?
Pure: -sighs- May I?
Young Pure moves his chair to the side and Pure comes and sits down with his tails as support.
Pure: I am you because this is what happened to us.
Young Pure: What do you mean?
Pure took off his coat, his top armor and shirt to see the scars and reactors on him.
Young Pure: That happened to us?
Pure took off his hat and young Pure could see the three wires in his head along with his long hair.
Pure: Yup, I know it's not pleasant.
Young Pure leans back and sees the ten tails coming from his spine.
Young: But it looks like we had some bonuses to all of that.
Pure: Yeah but, it wasn't easy
Young Pure: Can you tell me how this even happened to us or even telling me if any of that is true.
Pure: Figured I would say that.
Young Pure was listening to Pure's story of what happened to them. Everyone else was doing the same thing to tell them the reason why they needed their help. Back in reality and at Andre's school, both Leslie and Andre were excelling in their classes and they were bringing in both good and bad crowds. Leslie and Aylia still have their little possession secret. Sometimes Leslie would swing by Andre's house to let Aylia possess her and take her to school with her. In this part Aylia has possessed Leslie and they are at lunch.
Aylia: Thanks for bringing me to school again, gets boring at the house when you are all alone.
Leslie: No problem, I would be bored too if that was the case.
Aylia: I saw your test results and both of you are getting top marks.
Leslie: Yeah but that was all three of us and what Pure said.
Aylia: Yeah, what he said was true.
Leslie: Now, both of us are going to try our best.
Aylia: That's good.
After Leslie ate her lunch she was taking a walk to her locker when she was walking both Leslie and Aylia were getting a weird feeling.
Leslie: You getting that?
Aylia: I can't turn it off.
Leslie: Let's see who it is.
Leslie walked past her locker and around a corner. She still had the Medusas under her clothes but the drones were in her bag in her locker. When she turned the corner she started to run and get some distance, she took another turn and went into the closet. She was waiting for someone to pass and they heard something.
Person: Where did she go?
Person 2: She must have doubled-back to get those drones that are with them after school.
Person 3: Why are we doing this?
Person: Leslie is getting too popular in the school with Andre and we know they are with that ghost, we need to teach them a lesson.
Person 2: Wait.
The person was inching for the door and Leslie was scared but Aylia wanted to protect her friends. When the person opened the door and saw Leslie, Aylia came out of Leslie's body and delivered a punch right in the person's face. The resulting hit blew them back to the other side of the hallway.
Person: What the!?
Once Leslie realized what was going on she saw Aylia partly out of her body. Just then they heard footsteps coming their way from hearing someone hit something really hard.
Person: Let's go!
Both persons picked up the other person and got out of there. Leslie got out of there too and headed to the bathroom; she went into one of the cubicles and locked the door. She sat down on the toilet and caught her breath.
Leslie: Aylia, what was that?
Aylia: I have no idea.
Leslie: C-can you do it again?
Aylia: I'll try.
Aylia came out of Leslie's body a bit and she saw Aylia in her ghost form.
Leslie: You can either take control of my body or can come out and help me?
Aylia: Looks like it but I have to have at least a connection to you to do this, look.
Both of them see Aylia still in Leslie's body.
Leslie: What about when those guys saw you, they could get me suspended or worse.
Aylia: Not if you play this right.
Leslie: How?
Aylia: Still got that little notebook for the Medusas?
Leslie: Yeah, why?
Aylia: Let me see it for a minute.
Leslie handed Aylia the notebook and she was looking through until she came to what she needed.
Aylia: Got it.
Aylia tapped the Medusas a sequence and they were set.
Aylia: Ok, that should do it.
After that they heard something over the P.A system.
P.A: Leslie Summers, please report to the principal's office.
Leslie: Tell me the plan on the way.
Aylia went fully back into Leslie's body; she got up, cleaned herself up and went to the Principal's office. When she got there there were three boys and a girl there.
Principal: Come in Leslie, sit.
Leslie came in and sat down.
Principal: Now it has come to my attention that you hit one of these students in the face in the janitor's closet.
Leslie: Sir, that is not true.
Person: Sir, she has that ghost inside her.
Principal: You had your turn to speak, so it is her turn, Leslie.
Leslie: Sir, I was heading back to my locker at lunch to get my notes for the next class. I heard someone coming and their footsteps were fast. I knew something was wrong so I hid from them.
Principal: But did you punch this child?
Leslie: That wasn't me that was...
Girl: Sir, she is lying.
Principal: Let her finish, I want to hear this.
Leslie: As I was saying, it was the Medusa Pure gave me to protect me since Andre and me talk to each other.
Principal: And where is this Medusa?
Leslie reached out her hands and the Medusas came from under her shirt and were sitting down in her hands.
Boy: Sir that not what hit me... it was.
One of the Medusas looked at the boy and was giving him a really sour look.
Principal: Why would Pure give you those?
Leslie: Since I am a friend to Andre and I go to his house.
Girl: That is possessed by a ghost.
Principal: Quiet.
Girl: But sir.
Principal: All I am seeing is you want a reason for Leslie here to fail, I am looking at her test scores for the year so far versus yours and she has been increasing her studies to place in the top of her classes and you all are going down it. I will talk to Leslie about this but you all will be kept a close eye on and no one go after Leslie, period. Am I clear?
Other children: Yes sir.
Principal: You four may go, Leslie stay behind.
The Medusas went back under her clothes and the other children left the Principals office. The Principal goes to the door and locks it.
Principal: Is she in you?
Leslie: What?
Principal: Is Aylia inside of you?
Leslie: What are you talking about?
Principal: You don't have to hide it from me; your mother told me all about it. Can I talk to her?
Aylia says something to Leslie in her head.
Aylia: Ask him what I liked to draw?
Leslie: If you know her then what did she like to draw?
Principal: People, she was dead on point with her detailing.
Aylia came out of Leslie partially and the Principal saw her, she was still connected so that she could talk.
Aylia: Do I know you?
Principal: The only one that ever played Kung Lao.
Aylia: Ken?
Ken: Hey Aylia, good to hear your voice again.
Aylia: I thought your family left when I died?
Ken: Yeah but I came back a few years ago to be the principal of this school. When I heard you possessed Leslie I thought you were haunting us or something.
Aylia: You know I would never do that to you guys, you are my friends.
Leslie: Uh, question, how do you all know each other through one game?
Ken: All of us have one character main and we couldn't copy each other. Aylia was Cassie Cage, I was Kung Lao and her mother was Sonya Blade.
Aylia: It was the only way we would ever know it's actually us after we part ways.
Ken: Those kids will be after you, Leslie and Andre because you all are excelling at your studies and are friends with a ghost, no offense Aylia.
Aylia: None taken.
Ken: Keep things up like this and you will receive honors while they fail but you have to beat them once and for all.
Leslie: Pure told me to do that.
Ken: And you should listen to him, once you make it good here, they can't touch you anymore.
Leslie: They still want to beat me and Andre up about being with a ghost.
Ken: Have you told Andre yet about this little possession?
Aylia: Not yet.
Leslie: We decided that it would be our little secret.
Ken: You better tell him but tell no one else, I'm letting you head home for the day so that you two can talk this over and they can't get any ideas when you leave. Can your mother come and get you?
Leslie: She is at work but I got another way home, I just need to get to my locker.
Ken: Let me take you there.
Aylia went back into Leslie and they went to her locker after Ken unlocked the door. Once they got to her locker she got her bag and got the drones. She turned around and both of them latched onto her and gave her flight.
Leslie: Pure gave me these when they were chasing us last time.
Ken: Then keep them close; use them only when you need to.
Leslie: Yes sir.
Ken escorted Leslie to the main entrance with her backpack.
Leslie: Take us home little guys.
The drones fired their thrusters once she got a little bit of air, Ken said something.
Ken: And Aylia?
Leslie let Aylia take control.
Aylia: Yes Ken?
Ken: Keep them safe.
Aylia: I will.
Both of them flew off and they headed to her house. The drones detached and floated alongside her. They unlocked the door with their key and went inside. They went up to the bedroom; Leslie jumped in and lay down on the bed. Aylia came out of Leslie partially and laid down next to her.
Aylia: That was crazy.
Leslie: Ya think!?
Aylia: I know I could possess you but whatever that was is a new one.
Leslie: We should never do that again though.
Aylia: Agreed.
Leslie sat up in the bed.
Leslie: You know we have to tell Andre about all of this right?
Aylia gets up and sits next to each other, she was still connected to Leslie and she sat down next to her with her head on Leslie's shoulder.
Aylia: Yeah but I don't want to scare him.
Leslie: I understand and I don't want to even scare him to even know I let you possess me.
Aylia: He might freak out.
Leslie: Or he might be ok with it.
Aylia: True.
Leslie: Let's get you back to the house.
Leslie left to head to Andre's house. Once they got to Andre's house and in the perimeter of the house, Aylia got out of Leslie's body.
Leslie: See you later.
Aylia waves her hand and heads back inside, her drone sees her and it greets her.
Aylia: Come on little guy, Andre will be calling soon.
Aylia went back inside and Leslie went back to her house. Both of them knew they had to tell Andre about what they can do and what happened. In Alisha's corner she was talking to her younger self before the attack even happened.
Young Alisha: You mean I lose all of this?
Alisha: Unfortunately, yes, even I wanted to go back in time to see if I could change it but I got something better in return.
Young Alisha: Which is what?
Alisha: These powers, abilities, a new family, a new life and a loving husband.
Young Alisha looked at their friends and Alisha did too.
Alisha: Yeah, I missed all of them too, even our mom and dad.
Young Alisha: I just can't believe bad people would do that to our family, I'm scared of losing them.
Young Alisha hugged Alisha and she was crying. Alisha looked at her friends and family and remembered how scared she was when the attack happened. All of them knew they had to get them on their side for them to link their lives back together to unlock more of their powers.
