  "L A D I E S  A N D  G E N T L E M E N  of North Atlanta High," came the voice of Principal Donovan just as students began to fill into the compound, followed by their parents, "if we could all just settle down now."   It was the early days of Summer in the year 2030, with the hot glowing sun already shining down over the school.   "It's graduation, bitches!" Carmen cried out, dressed in a purple cloak with the graduation hat over her head, obscuring her face from the sun's heat.   "We're just ending a school year. I don't see what all the fuss is about," came Henry, also in his graduation attire.   They were all graduating as their high school years came to an end on that fine day.   "Speak for yourself!" blurted Marcus.   "Hey, Cassie," Lucas spoke, taking off his hat, "where's Nat?"   "She said she would b

"N A T A S H A, D O N'T !" L U C A S cried out when she finally let go and lashed out at the figure, her fingers folded into a fist that was arced with sparks of lightning.   Natasha's fist never connected as she ended up hitting nothing just as a wave of bright green light burst out and blinded her along with Lucas, Cassie, Carmen, Marcus and Henry. . .   The bright light intensified, warping her mind into disarray, the last sound she heard being that of Lucas warning her.   The light then began to die down until Natasha could finally see.   But not what she had been expecting to see.   The mysterious cloaked figure that descended from the sky and cast out that wave of green energy had disappeared.   Natasha spun around. She was by herself . Her so friends, her mother and everyone else were nowhere in sight.   "Lucas!" she called out.

It thrust both of its arms forward and a green blast of energy shot off like a fireball.   It hit the asphalt between the two speedsters, sending pieces of stone, tar and dirt flying in the air after the impact resulted in a shockw
