Good news folks!!! We will be moving into a new location that has reliable internet in immediate access so this story and my other activities on here will be pick up the pace a bit. I am so sorry for all the inactivity recently. This has been a bit of a hard time for me and my family, but things look to be improving. In fact this change should be in place within the next six to seven days if not sooner. Thanks to those who have been supportive through this time. I will try to finish this story strong!

Yay! Have fun!
Thanks. Sorry I'm late but we all caught the flu. Anywho story should be coming up now that I'm back on my feet.
Time: some time at night Place: in the middle of a small desert
The campfire snapped and sparks spiraled up into the vast black canopy of sky stretching above them in any direction. Small stars winked down at them as the teens made camp. Damian had his back to the fire and was snoring away in his sleeping bag already. One arm flopped out awkwardly and the other tucked under his pillow. Essa sat a short distance to Nexo's left listening to music on a portable handheld device and poking the fire with a stick. Nexo figured it was a good time to ask Lilly some questions since she was just staring at the leaping flames before them. "Hey?" He nudged her shoulder. "Earth to Lillyyyyy...." She blinked a few times then turned to him, pushing her red gold hair away. "Sorry, what was it you wanted." "That's okay, I just figured it was probably a pretty good time to learn that...whatever it was. Ya know, before we confront KK and all that." She gazed at him a moment, confusion in her eyes. He shrugged and tried again. "The....You know...Whatchama thingyy. Unlicking or what ever." Realization crossed her face and she began snickering at him. "What?" He looked slightly hurt. She laughed louder and choked out, "You mean UnLOCKing?" "Well.....Yeah." She regained control of her humor and smiled at him nicely, "Right Unlocking is the process of discovering your power. You also are confronted with a choice." Nexo ,still looking a bit wary, whispered. "And it doesn't involve licking any rocks or dirt or anything?" Lilly responded in attempted seriousness, "No. Nothing to do with...snick snick...licking." Nexo relaxed a bit hearing her reassurances. "Oh, good I was afraid there for a bit!" Rolling her eyes at the sky to avoid laughing again she smiled and took a few breaths. "Okay close your eyes. Tell me what you see and feel." Nexo obediently closed his eyes and thought for a moment. TBC
"....I see dark and feel stupid." "No. focus on something you like. Then visualize an image of that going into a doorway that leads to your consciousness." Immediately he thought of her smiling face. Inwardly he shrugged and struggled to visualize a doorway to put the image through. "Whoa!!" Suddenly as he moved through the visualized door he was surrounded by swirling thoughts, images, emotions, and the pulsing light of energy moving through his cranial mass. "What should I look for?" He addressed his friend even though he couldn't really see her. Her answer materialized into his awareness as his brain translated the sounds of her voice. "You'll know. Just look around." Thanks a lot. Very helpful. Taking a quick look around he saw nothing specifically aw-striking. So he visualized other areas of the place he was in. Then after a minute of two he saw something out of the corner of his perception that caught his attention. He moved closer to it. It appeared to be a small nodule made of blueish light. It was very bright as he beheld it and guided by instinct he visualized stimulating it. It flashed in response and folded into a flower like structure of light. Again he visualized it blooming and unfolding. It did so and like water out of a dam, liquid-y blue ran all over everything in his brain. It turned so bright and shiny in his consciousness that he opened his eyes lurching forward as he did so. "WOAH!!" What was that??!" He looked over to where his friend sat smiling. "Did I do it? I don't feel particularly different." "You did. Now your like us." "Can everyone do that?" "No. Only some." "Wow. So what's my power?" "I don't know! Try it out." Nexo hopped up and putting his hands out squeezed his eyes closed and pictured the liquid blue stuff. Lilly's surprised and delighted squeal made him open his eyes. Blue-silver fire danced on the sand as it dropped from his fingers. It burned on nothing and his effort to smother it with a pillow did nothing. After a moment it winked out and left a pile of cooling glass ,from the sand it was on, in front of their astonished faces. "Try something else." Lilly said turning to him with dancing dark blue eyes. Nexo had destroyed now he attempted to create. Picking up a near by twig he focused on it. After a moment he opened his eyes again and saw blue-silver shiny buds all over the twig ,which was encased in the same colored metal now. The delicate metal buds looked just as realistic as real ones as they pranced along the branch in varying stages of blooming some all the way opened into flowers. They both stared at it for a moment before Nexo wordlessly handed it to Lilly who examined it closely. "It's beautiful." Their gazes met in amazement for a moment. "Can Essa and Damian do things like this?" Lilly nodded, "All of us in the force can and I suspect The First and Second can too but I've never been able to prove it." They looked back at the twig. Lilly's gaze still rested on it as she spoke up quietly. "Get some rest Nexo, we're glad your on our side for this." Nexo nodded feeling tired and numb as she gestured to his sleeping bag near Damian's His head hitting the pillow was the last thing he remembered.
Time: sometime in the morning Place: same place in the desert that they were
Nexo resurfaced from his deep sleep feeling like cork bobbing in water. After a moment the fuzzy cotton balls in his brain cleared and he realized that there was something covering his eyes. Reaching up and brushing it aside he found that it was Damian's arm that had been flopped on his face on accident. Nexo stood up, stretched, rolled up his sleeping bag and threw it into the jeep they'd picked up at HQ and THEN realized he was not in his new house. He was standing in the desert with crazy powers, on a desperate mission to stop another super power baddie. He sat down hard, and tried to calm his swimming head. Who would have thought that HE, out of all the random Joe's, got to be part of this. He glanced around the camp, the others were all still fast asleep. His stomach rumbled, demanding attention from him and he turned to rummage through their supplies in an attempt to concoct breakfast. Almost thirty minutes later the smell of coffee and frying bacon beckoned the others awake. Essa sat up and shaking the sleep out of her eyes, looped her long braids up, pinned them and began putting her standard issue combat boots on. Nexo glanced down at his, grateful he could wear something over his socks finally. Lilly sat up and wandered into the tent they'd erected last night to change and brush her hair. Nexo shifted his gaze to Damian wondering how he would awaken. Moments later Damian shot up and hobbled up to the campfire. Essa turned and started at her friend's appearance. "Ah! oh, Damian....uh your hair...your face....uh..hmm." Damian blinked muttered something then turned to Nexo, who backed away in shock. "Coffeeeeeee........" "Uh sure sure!" Nexo poured him a mugful unable to look away from the sight in front of him. Damian snatched it from him and shuffled back towards his sleeping bag. "Coffeeee...." Essa and Nexo shared unnerved glances before Nexo went back to flipping the bacon. After a moment of quite Lilly bounded out of the tent and plopped down next to Essa. She glanced about taking it all in. "Wow, I didn't know Nexo could cook!" "Ha ha. I've been a bachelor for years. I can't live on pizza no matter how nice it sounds." She smirked at him, "Where's Damian?" "DON'T ASK!" Essa and Nexo both shouted simultaneously. "Oh. Okay then." Damian returned and got a second cup of coffee, this time he was all put together and her sat next to the others chatting happily. After they polished off breakfast and tidied up Essa announced that they were moving out and continuing to track Fealon. TBC.....
Well there, I made up for the delay. Hope you all enjoy and leave comments about any questions or things you want to say. Thnx.

Also, the simple fact of you posting means that a mod is reading it. Just thought I'd point that out. xD
