By alter-ego Synopsis:When two islands appear, it causes world wide changes as the nations unite into a global government. Welcome the Dragon Riders! |
The couple stood outside the office reading the strange ad once more before entering.
Seeking an elder couple as caretakers of large estate, must be married, apply in person with photo ID and AARP membership at 1100 West Woodland, Suite A. Must be willing to travel and also go back to school for additional training. Must Love Dogs! Bring your dog (if you have one) to the office for the first interview. Phone# 555 456-7890 for an appointment.
At their heel sat their old dog, the third in the 30 yrs of marriage. Times were tough and this job offer seem almost to good to be true, caretakers of an estate and must love dogs, a dream job. As the man open the office door, the women called to their pet to follow and enter the office, her husband right behind her.
Once inside they were greeted by the receptionist who after taking their names place a quick inner office call to which they were informed that Mr Sands would be right out and to have a seat in the waiting area. Moving to the area, designated by the receptionist, they sat and were just reaching for a magazine with a gentleman appeared, his right hand out to shake the husband had. "Jim, Jackie, I'm Mr Sands, your contact at 'Must Love Dogs', welcome". Jim stood up and taking Mr Sands hand in his own quickly stook it and introduced his wife and pet to Mr Sands. "Mr Sands, my wife Jackie and our dog Comet". "ahh, Jackie welcome and Comet, a big welcome to you young lady", a quick smile from Mr Sands to them both and then turning to Jack, "Alright then, if you would all follow me, we get this interview and questionary over and done with ASAP".
Leading them to a conference room down the hall, Mr Sands held the door open for them, moving in they moved to seats closes to the door, but Mr Sands moving to the other side of the conference room motion them to join him where some papers and a pitcher with glasses were waiting on the table. In the center of the table sat one of those conference phones. As they sat down in front of the papers, Jim could not help wonder about the single large chair next to them. Mr Sands pulls it back and call for Comet to have a seat, and surprisingly Comet jumps into the seat.
In the stack of papers were general contracts of hire for both, insurance, medical papers as well as wavers regarding shipment of any pets to the estate. In the contract were clauses stipulating that all of them would in fact be attending special schools and vocational training. One last paper ask about previous pets, names, age when they died and causes of their deaths, and location where buried, Jim thought this last was strange, and question Mr Sands about, where as Mr Sands explained, "you both are going to be asked to look after some very important creatures, and we here at 'Must Love Dogs' would like to make sure we are right in asking you to do that. One last piece of paper for you, this is a power of attorney for the corporation to handle all your legal aspect of your life during the time you are in training, please note the dates, the power of attorney is only for the next six weeks, and at the end of that period all of you should be well on your way to becoming the caretakers we wish for". Signing the last paper, Jim started to stand up from the table and suddenly felt very dizzy, sitting down he reaches for the water, the room seem to spin, his wife's head rested on the table, one last look up at a smiling Mr Sands and all goes dark.

Chapter 2
A flood of bright light from a huge skylight shines down on him, he could see bat like creatures flying in the sky above it, a voice to his right, "ahh your are awake, good". Turning his head he sees a very beautiful, very young Jackie! The shock of seeing her as she was 35 years ago was nothing to the next, hearing a dog's whine he turns his head to see three dogs sitting next to the bed, all looking at him, "Jupiter! Starfly!, wait my voice". Raising a hand to his face, he exclaims, "my hand, what in the hell did they do to me, to us, and how is it I am seeing Jupiter and Starfly as well a Comet!?" His voice almost a shout as he sat up, as he did long red hair fell across his face, his hand held it for a moment the puzzle look growing more and more, the dogs seeing her sit up all became excited yapping, tails waging quickly, all heads and paws on their side of the bed waiting for her to pet them.
Turning back to the dogs, she bends and reaches for the first scratching him across the top of his head, "Jupiter, how is it you are here, and what is here"? Getting sloppy kisses from him caused her to giggle, Starfly was next, forcing her way in between Jupiter and her demanding equal time as well, scratching Starfly's head she again asked, "Starfly, you are here also? How is this possible"? Another dog's whine, this from Comet who feels left out, "Oh Comet you know I love you to, come here girlfriend". Patting her lap, she motion for Comet to join her on the bed, and with a huge leap she has Comet in her lap. Getting sloppy kisses all over her face she giggles and giggles.
Jackie voice, "she is awake Doctor, yes we wait for you before answering any questions". Turning her head she sees Jackie hang up the rooms phone, she gets a look that she knows all to well from the 30 years of marriage and turns her attention back to her three pets, alternating between the three she scratches their heads she asks, "how is it possible they are all here, Comet I would expect, but Jupiter and Starfly, both have been dead for years, and how do you explain your youth, my youth, I sound like a little boy, yet you said SHE over the phone!" Another look with a raised eyebrow from Jackie and she shuts up.
The door to the room opens and in walks a doctor in a long white lab coat, looking at his face she exclaims, "Mr Sands! You have got a lot of explaining to do, what did you do to us and where are we and how is it my previous pets are here?" Turning her face to her wife, "And Jackie, why the look at me? Wait for the doctor? You could have answer my questions? Well?" Turning back to the now smiling Mr Sands. With a slight cough he cleared his throat and then corrected her on one point, "Its Doctor Sands, and I like to welcome you to the Dragon Riders Academy Jill. "
"Jill? My name is agg Jill, wait why can't I say Jim, what? I can say the name Jim, but my name is agg Jill, what did you do to me? And what is this nonsense about a Dragon Rider's Academy?
Jill if I may answer your questions, you are a Dragon Rider, and your pets are your dragons. All Dragon Riders are female, and normally have just one dragon, rarely do we see riders with two and in your case, a very rare fine, three dragons!"
"Dragons?! You people are nut cases, how do you see dragons here when I see three dogs, granted two were decease?"
"Jill Madisome" his wife's voice suddenly knifes through him, she turns her head to look at his wife, that look he always got when he was in the wrong was there, "you shut your mouth young lady and listen to Dr Sands!"
"Yes Mother, wait I tried to say Jackie, but", getting another look from Jackie, "yes mother, I'm shutting up right now mother." and turns her head back to the Dr.
"Good" the Dr continue, "as I was saying all riders are female who were once older males much like yourself. We found that by having a more mature male in a younger female that they were better able to control their pets as well as handle the stress of flight with them. Even your Air Force found that certain female pilots could handle more G forces then most males could. As to where you are, this is not the Earth you knew, we are in a pocket universe between other dimensions. You are here to train with your pets for the next six weeks in which time you all will be returned to your Earth to help that world prepare for the invasion of the World Eater".
"World Eater?" She asks, a confuse look on her face?
"yes a entity that seeks to consume life as we know it. It will be visible to your world Scientists in six years, in seven years its scouts will be landing on your world and in ten it will enter your solar system. Your world must be warn and also prepare for it, and you are the one that will see to that, along with your pets and of course your lovely mother".
"Mother?! me? why only me?"
"Yes you!, but you are not returning alone, there will be a total of 196 Dragon Riders, but most of them will have one pet only, a very small list of them will have two, where you will be the only one with three, each rider will be responsibly for insuring the country they are from agrees with what the UN says regarding their conduct and the receipt of the Armor Division from Dragon Island."
"Armor Divisions, Dragon Island?"
"Yes, when you return the world is going to be very concern about two very large islands, one in the Atlantic the other in the Pacific. The one is the Atlantic is the armory, its there countries will take delivery of the armor strike team, instructors from our world will teach them the uses of the new weapons, our tech people will also show those countries the technology for building ships, huge under ground shelters, force fields, smaller hand weapons, they will train on the island and then return home with the new equipment to prepare and protect from the incoming scouts.
The island in the Pacific is going to be home for all 196 riders, pets and mothers as well as visitors, guests, teachers, etc.. Both islands are protect by Force shields that only have one area that may be dropped to allow planes, ships to come and go. No one can land at the island except in those areas, and only Dragons and Mothers can depart the islands and return by means of teleportation."
"Teleportation? And why only the mothers and dragons, why not the riders as well?"
"Jill quit interrupting the Dr, this will go far quicker with little interruptions, trust me I know."
"Yes Mother."
Dr Sands cleared his throat once more, "Powers that you all have I believe will answer your questions, all mothers have teleportation, area coverage force fields, invulnerability and the knack of knowing where their daughter is 24/7. You as a rider have, invulnerability, above average strength, and the ability to influence gravity, very useful in space but can be used on the ground as well. The dragons all have teleportation, flight, invulnerability, super strength area force shields, and their own individual attacks."
Risking a look from Mother she asks, "Attacks"?
"Yes, let first show you your pets as dragons and explain their power attacks, Comet if you would please teleport to an area above the skylight". In a flash Comet is gone, my looks of shock must have given my mother concerns as she quickly announces, "Baby look above you!" Looking skyward I see a huge white dragon floating above me, "Comet?" With a Roar Comet vanishes only to reappear back in my lap, "Comet that was you?" A gentle push by her confirms she understood my question.
Dr Sands then turns to other pets, "Jupiter teleport please," In a flash he is gone and above me I see a huge black dragon, in a flash he vanishes and Jupiter is back sitting next to the bed. "Starfly teleport please," Again another flash this time I see a huge golden dragon, each dragon is the color of the dog they are, a white german shepherd, a golden retriever and a dober pinscher. In a flash Starfly is back. "Comet Attacks are cold base, she can shoot a beam that can instantly freeze to a minus 500, and she can also do an area effect attack by lower the temp miles around her to below zero in minutes. Jupiter attacks are base on black hole, he can shoot a beam that would cause an object to collapse into itself. and can cause the gravity in the area to suddenly increase, something he is able to control, so no building would fall but people, machine within the area would not be able to move. Starfly attack are base are the energy from the stars, she can fire a beam of energy much like the phaser attacks on that Trek TV show, only 100 times more powerful and she can also make what we call torpedo or mine attack, firing short blast that seek and chase moving targets, she can also melt the area around her. All the beam attacks are line of sight, if they see it they can hit it."
A million questions were flying through her mind, yet when she looked into the eyes of her pets she understood and nodded to them, a link was now established between them. Yawning she snuggles next to Comet, followed by Jupiter and Starfly jumping into bed next to her. Her mother leans over and with a kiss on her forehead whispering "Sweet dreams my Princess". To which she mumbles "yes mother", and drifts off to a dream fill world of dogs and dragons.
Jackie turns towards the Doctor, "When will she awake this time?" "Tomorrow", he reply, "here put her Dragon Bracelet on her, when next she awakes she will be a Dragon Rider". Handing the bracelet to her, he turns and leaves the room.
As she turns and slips the bracelet on the wrist of the sleeping child, she whispers, "Jim my darling, I love you but I must confess I love my new daughter more. Sweet dream my love". With those words she teleport out of the room.
Must love dogs
Chapter 3
Such a every day sight they made, a mother and daughter walking hand in hand, the women was young, early 20s, very beautiful, her long red hair almost to her mid back, her young cute daughter at her side, wearing matching outfits, sundress, floppy hats, sandals and carrying a small purse, heads turned as they walked by. The six weeks in the pocket universe seems to fly by, here they were back on their Earth, in New York City, just outside the United Nation Building.
During their walk to the building they had passed new paper stands all hawking the latest news on the islands in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The islands had appeared the day before and as of yet no one had been able to fly over or land on these islands. Aircraft were turned away by some unknown forces and any boats that tried to land were also stopped by some unknown force.
Her pets were all in dog form, teleporting roof top to roof top. Awaiting her final commands to join her once they were inside the United Nation Building. The UN Security Council was in emergency session but that did not stop the tours, no way was some silly islands appearing going to stop the tourism of NYC.
Approaching the Cashier’s desk in the Visitors Lobby Jackie asks for two tickets for the the family tour, "One adult, one child for the family tour please". "Yes Ma'am, that will be $25.00 Dollars please". Jackie passes the request amount and receives the two tickets and pass the child one to her daughter, "Here you go Jill". "Thanks Mother". The Cashier looked down at the cute child, "oo you are such a precious angel, how old are you child?" "I'm eight years old and today is my first visit to New York". "Well welcome to New York City, I hope your visit with us is a enjoyable one". "Thank you." Looking back up to Jackie she explains, "The tour will start in 5 minutes the group is gathering now for it right over there", and with her hand indicates an area just off to the right. Grasping Jill hand within her own she reply, "Thank you, Jill say bye to the nice lady". As they walk away Jill turns her head and with a small waves says "bye", "Bye bye honey you have a good time on the tour" also doing a small finger wave to the young girl before turning back to her register. "Such a sweet looking child".
Joining the group for the tour, they waiting a short time while the escort got ready, as the guide spoke they all were brief that the tour would take 45 minutes and that during the tour they were asked to stay with the group and not wonder off, the guide's eyes on young man that seem to have his hands every where except in front of him got this message loud and clear and a smack to the back of his head by his mother, "Oww! Ma!" "Hush! you better behave or else". "Yes Ma" he tries to move away from her, but she to quick and snatches his hand, pulling him next to her.
Seeing this Jackie smiles and looks down at her daughter next to you, Jill looks up, her smile echoes her mothers. All through the tour they slowly move, letting others pass them till such a time the General Assembly is in sight and they are well in the back of the tour group. With a nod to Mother and a silent signal to her pets they teleport to the floor of the General Assembly. All are shock as a women, child and three dogs all appear in front of them, the guards that flank the podium are the first to vanish as Jupiter and Starfly move to intercept and remove them, her mother throw up a shield that that covers the entire area of the podium and most of the open floor. "Comet Freeze them". Outside a huge white dragon appears over the UN building and then the temperature drop causes all in the area to quickly flee to warming locations. The building is completely block off of any outside aid and also forcing all within the building to remain right where they are.
Simultaneously, world wide 195 Dragon Riders appeared in the skies over each of their capital city mounted on a dragon. Those with two dragons did double missions with fly by of all naval forces that were around the Dragon Islands. Using advance technology of the Dragon Academy Jill's face appears in the monitors flanking the podium, again simultaneously world wide that cute face appears over ever city that a dragon flies over. "Jupiter go, Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Jill and I am a Dragon Rider, Starfly, warm us up a bit". A large black dragon appears over the sky of Washington DC, again Jill's face appears and her words echo across the world. With a nod from mother she begins to speak to the world, simultaneously in 198 locations her words are broadcast translated to the language of that country.
"Greetings to all of Earth, my name is Jill and I am, no we are Dragon Riders.", her hand waves to the screen and across the world images of the other riders appear on the monitors and skies, all waving back. "No doubt you have seen our islands and wonder about them, your arm forces have naval blockages at both locations and you have failed to obtain any news of them due to a shield blocking you."
A lone security officer moves forward with his weapon drawn only to see it melting on the floor, a beam of light had hit it, fired from Starfly eyes, he withdraws quickly.
"A one aircraft recon mission will be allowed to flying over each island at this time, the map coordinates for the fly over for both island will be displays below, each aircraft will be escort by a dragon, any error in the flight path and the aircraft will be forced down. Do not doubt the powers of the dragons, any attempts to attack them will be meant with greater force. Jupiter, The squadron of F22 flying around you, force one to land at the white house, he has been invited to have dinner with his Command in Chief". On the monitors all see the dragon vanish then appear above a fighter jet, the jet firmly grasp in the claws and then its on the ground, engines off, cockpit canopy open and the pilot on the ground looking up at Jupiter, then he alone as Jupiter is back on station above the Whitehouse. "Now he is going to have a tale to tell at dinner tonight".
A look from mother got her attention, "Ok back to earth and why my sisters and I are here. We are here to warn you and prepare you for an invasion from space", An image of the World Eater appears on the screen, "At its present location within the galaxy it will be several years before it can be seen by your Scientists so we have time to be ready for the scouts that will soon come, the longer we are able to keep the scouts reporting the Earth the more time we have to prepare all of Earth to battle this monster, believe me when I say we will need that time".
"That is all I am going to say today, except I will return tomorrow at this same time to speak to the UN Security Council, please make no attempt to stop me and please be sure to have all members of the council waiting when I arrive, or they may not like what happens when we pass out goodies, I can see by the reports that the recon flights are done and you all should have some very good pictures of the islands, rest assure that Embassy Row on Dragon Pacific will be awaiting for your ambassadors, Starfly be sure to melt all the ice and not damage the building. Mother I am ready".
Jackie takes Jill hand and they vanish just as the NYPD SWAT team finally enters the building, as the SWAT members rush the podium everyone is trying to speak at once, and it only the pounding the gavel from the chairman that order is brought back to the UN. Ever dragon and rider had vanished, back to Dragon Pacific.

Chapter 4
They say time flies when you are having fun, it had been several weeks since that first meeting in the UN. The meeting with the UN Security Council went off with only one little hitch, the NYPD SWAT had tried to stop Jill, members ambushed her, rushing forward to grab her as she teleport in with Starfly, but they found that it was way to hot as Starfly turned up the heat, and burned a huge circle around her. Then Jupiter and Comet arrived and all the members of the team found them self hanging from the flag poles outside, Fire and Rescue had to be called to get them all down. Once inside the Security Council's chambers Jill voiced her concerns about the NYPD delaying her.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, sorry for my delay, but the NYPD decided that I was a threat to your safety. They have seen the error and I think they will not be joining us any time soon. Now in front of all of you see a small box", With a wave of her arm small little boxes appeared. "In that box is a device that will allow you to understand any dragon rider or Mother, sorry its not a universal translator, so you will still have to have those boys and girls to speak to each other, but with this handy dandy translator, you will understand any dragon rider. Comet drop the temperature 30'. We'll bring the temperature back up as soon as all members are wearing the Universal translator."
A shiver went through the members as they felt the temperature drop, some members tried to move away from the council's table, but found a invisible wall around them. Opening their boxes they placed the small wick like device in the ear and the temperature begin to rise where they were seated. Of course there is always one holdout when you try to get everyone to go with your plan, the USA. But Jill continue as if nothing was wrong, but she could see that the USA member was getting very cold.
"Just place it in your ear, the next rider to speak to you may not speak English and you can't push #1 to hear English here". Looking about the room she see the USA member final put the wick in her ear. "Very good, Comet turn it off, Starfly get us nice and warm, but easy on it. Now if you would hold any questions I will explain why I am here and what you all will be doing to prepare your world. As you know we have two islands, Dragon Pacific is our home, Dragon Atlantic is our port of arms and training grounds. Now each of you are going to send to Dragon Atlantic personnel from five combat Divisions, three air squadrons, fighter and bomber, and air naval personnel to equip your aircraft carriers with the latest in hover jets with beam weapons. These people must be made available asap, it will take at least six weeks to train them on the weapons and the sooner they are trained the sooner you can rotate more in We hope to have at least 10 Division per country in a year, those smaller countries maybe one to two. Now I will take your questions".
China: "How many Divisions will you be able to train and equip every six weeks?"
"We will be able to train 25 full divisions, 15 squadrons and at least three Carrier wings. Next?"
Great Britain: "Will ever country get access to this training and equipment and will they be able to attack other counties with it?"
"To answer the first question, yes. The answer to the second, no. Only on Dragon Atlantic will they be allowed to fire upon others using a system we borrow from the 'Yanks' called MILES, let them explain that to you if you not sure what it is. Can they attack other countries using the equipment, no, unless you consider moving across an border an attack, their weapons will not fire upon any other person, the weapons are design to fire on the scouts only. We however can, if need be, remove those weapons from any countries leaving the personnel behind where they sit".
USA: "So what good is these weapons if we cannot protect ourself from attacks from other nations?"
"Any nation that has an Embassy at Dragon Pacific would be under the Dragon Rider's protection and that the Mothers of the Riders will be the first people the Ambassadors of those Embassies will meet. Dragon Island will also launch stealth satellite that will monitor world communication, much like the CIA does today, as well as some very very special ones that will look for and help eradicate coca, poppy, marijuana plants except those that are ear marked as medical needed. The Man power that this will save your governments alone would pay most of your salaries here.
Of course you all have your convention weapons to defend yourself, let just say if a convention tank fires at a dragon tank, they going to be really shock to see that round bounce right back at them. Same for jets, no locks for SAM missiles possible, and machine guns rounds cannot knock a dragon ship down. Also each soldier will be equip with personal body armor, guarantee to stop anything short of a 50 Cal. But they will not be able to use that armor with your convention weapons, the armor would reject any other weapon".
"Ladies and gentlemen, time is our main concern here and I have waste a lot of my by coming here to explain this to you. Our main concern is to equip the nations of your world to fight an enemy not only here on Earth, but soon we hope on the other moons and planets of this system. I have three requests to you all, #1, remove any and all occupying forces in other countries, #2 get your ambassadors to Dragon Pacific. Tell them to bring their family, our Academy will teach grades KG-12 and we will have staff from the greatest schools, colleges, universals, be sure to ask about the school uniforms, and final #3,any further chats will be through your ambassadors on Dragon Pacific, Good day". With a touch on Comet she vanishes from the room.

Chapter 5
Today was the first day of school for the riders and others, (children from the ambassadors) Months had come and gone, problems rose and fell and the riders moved on them. First it was North Korea, but 196 riders with dragons took care of it in mere minutes, South Korea had wanting to cross the borders then but the riders held firm that they would not allow it and South Korea backed down. China had rattled the saber but when 196 riders turn and face you. After that any other country that even looked like it was going to try something got a visit from a rider. Iran's weapon grade nuclear rods disappeared one day, there are rumors they are on the moon.
Todays' worries, the school uniform, the riders hated it, but the mothers loved it. Its a colored checker pleated skirt, white blouse, with a matching tie, white socks and black shoes. The boys got to wear pants, solid color, white shirt and back tie. The only time we riders got to wear pants was Martial arts and dragon training. Riders were no longer involved with the every day crises, our mothers and academy staff handle that, if you wanted to speak to a rider you went through diplomatic channels to arrange that. Each mother was assign an ambassador, my had the USA.
Now today, a rider's school day started at 6am and ended at 8pm. From 6am to 7am was Martial arts, having 196 riders singing cadence during their morning training was something to see, and the world was going to see it soon. Just days before Jill was told that an American News Crew would be filming her for a week and today was the first day, when she asked, "Why me?" Mother said "Because you are the American Rider and your last public speaking event was the first day at the UN, The people of the USA want to get to know their rider, Other countries are also doing it, I am sure you will see the news crews all over the island". So from 6 - 7 the crew filmed the Martial arts training, uniforms were the Chinese traditional martial arts suit in red, she joked with the crew that it covered the blood very well, then one member follow her home filming her as she got ready for school. In school the crew follow her to her very normal classes. From 8 - 12, Math, English, History, Chemistry. 12 - 1 lunch. 1 - 3 Biology, Computer Technology. 3 - 6 Modern Dance/Ballet - Dragon Training. 6 - 8 Dinner, homework, baths and bed time. When asked about the 8pm bed time, she told the crew, when she turns 14 she would be allowed to remain up till 9pm, but Sunday through Thursday bed time was 8pm. During the filming of the dragon training crews would lose sight of the riders on the dragons due to the new chameleon feature, something the riders were all having fun with.
On the weekends, riders worked with their pets, most taken the whole day on Saturday and a few hours on Sunday. For six straight day the crews filming the riders were everywhere. Sunday evening she sat down with the News team to answer questions, her mother was there as well as the ambassador from the USA.
The News Anchor, turn to her crew, "Are we taping now? Good" Facing back forward, she ask her first question, "Jill that first day at the UN, were you worried that you might fail?" Looking first to her mother she turns her head back, her hair falls across her face and with her hand she brushes it back. "Were we worried we would fail? No way, our main concerns was some joker thinking he was God, the Hulk all rolled into one and try to cross the hot zone. Lucky for us we had no heroes to kill".
"For an eight year old girl you talk like a well rounded individual, may I ask how you learned to speak with such force and drive".
"Well my mother can vouch for me here, I love history, much can be learned from reading, listening and watching, people like Churchill, Kennedy, King, Dalai Lama, MacArthur, so many more, I guess you could say I am a bit of each".
"Well your words reach millions of people that day, changing their life's forever. On day two of the UN raid you were attacked by NYPD members of SWAT and had a private meeting with the UN Security Council, can you in your own words tell us of that day?"
"Raid? Mother can still show you our tickets stubs, we paid for the tour". A slight smiles crosses her lips, "What can I say about the meeting I had with the council, very little, the ambassador will vouch that I conducted that meeting with one goal in mine, to brief them of the threat we all will face and what we can do about it. As for the NYPD, I have the up most respect for them, and I am glad I did not have to hurt any of them that day". To show our admiration for those folks we have given the NYPD the latest dragon equipment in drug and bomb detection, not to put the old K9's out of work, but where they had just one K9 team they will have a hundred such teams using the equipment. This equipment will also be given to each major law enforcement agencies as well as all the larger coaster cities besides NYC. Teams of officers will be attending training at the Dragon Atlantic island soon, those officers will train their counterparts at their home station".
"Right, can we ask questions concerning Dragon Atlantic?"
"I have not been to Dragon Atlantic, I'm sure that the ambassador can help with that, maybe even get you a tour there."
"Ambassador?"
*cough* "I'm sure once the Embassy receive your written request that it can be arranged".
"Alright we do that as soon as possible Ambassador, Jackie if we may ask you a question, up till three months ago you and your daughter did not exist, there is no records of a Jackie Madisome age 24 anywhere, nor a Jill Madisome, can you please explain?"
"Let just say, we are humans from earth and beings from another dimension, a dimension where Dragons are very much alive, changed us to who we are today, who we were three months ago is of no concern today and it is a closed subject as many of us still have family that will be protected best by not saying any more on that."
"I see, alright then Jill, our crew followed you for a week, during all this time we did not see a child having fun, but a warrior training. What do you do for fun? Favor movies, Ice cream, are you boy crazy yet?"
"I really don't have the time for fun, my best times I would say is when I am with my dragons flying high in the sky. Movies, sorry I've not been to one, no time, mother says maybe later when I am older, ice cream I have to say vanilla, and boys, sorry no way, yick, besides mother said I cannot date till I am 16, ask me then."
"So Jackie will you and daughter leave the island during the holiday, or is it stay at home?"
"Jill will be training with the American units during those periods, but will be back ever evening for dinner. My plans, hang out here on the island, go shopping, while she is training. I've not been able to do anything for myself since our return to Earth, later maybe when Jill is happy with the American forces, she may join me for another walk through New York City, we did not get to see much that day".
"ahh I am sure they will welcome you both with open arms today. Jill any special request concerning New York City?"
"I like to see the Zoo"!
"The Zoo? OK That a new one for me, but I am sure that can be arranged for you someday. There you have it Ladies and Gentlemen of American, Jill Madisome and her Mother Jackie I am Destiny Stone for ZNN, good night."
"Cut!, that a wrap and Jill, Jackie, Ambassador King, my thanks for the putting up with us for this week, and Ambassador we will be getting with your staff ASAP for that tour to Dragon Atlantic."
Jackie takes Jill's hand and teleport to Jill's room, "good night sweetheart, you were wonderful", a kiss to her forehead, "Sweet dreams Jill". "Thanks Mother, see you in the morning". In a blink mother is gone, *sign* "I wish I could teleport like her" A whine from Jupiter, "yes Jupiter I have you and your sisters for that, forgive me buddy?" Another whine and a paw in the air which she takes and shakes, "Thanks my friend, now off with you I need to get ready for bed".

Spring break, two words that most school age children love to hear, because of the other children that attended the Dragon academy were from other countries, the academy had adopted the normal breaks such as Spring, Summer, and the winter holidays breaks. For Jill and the other riders it meant seven days of training with the country they were from, for Jill it was going to be at Fort Irwin, CA. Because the Dragons could teleport her home every evening, she would not be staying over night during any training exercises.
Its been two weeks since the airing of the ZNN story, so a lot of News reporters were going to be covering this, and the Academy had promised that life size robotic scouts would be used during this training. The scouts look like a blue dragon, a pelagic sea slug, they roughly the same size of a dragon when full grown and can attack using beam weapons, as well as using the tail like a whip to hit objects. They have no forcefields and can take a lot of damage from normal convention weapons, but beam weapons are quicker, doing far more damage. Now since scouts normally landed like a meteor and grew to their true size within minutes of escaping the shell of the meteor, the Academy was going to teleport the life size units straight to the impact area where units would be able to conduct live fire exercises on them. These life size units would also be able to fire back, but the weapons used far less of a charge and the most anyone would get from a discharge would be a mild tan if in the beam for any length of time.
9am, or as the military officer next to her had said when she ask the time, oh nine hundred. She been sitting there with this Public Affairs officer for over 2 hours. The unit that was to go through the live fire with her had been sitting on its can since 5am. "Hurry up and wait", she mumbles. The PA Officer, "Sorry, what did you say?" "Jill turns to face him, "Tell me why are we waiting and for whom are we waiting?"
"The Post Commander is at the Air Field, waiting for the Secretary of the Army's plane to land, then they will motor cade here, then the Secretary will address the troops and have a press conference with the News folks present at which time the live fire will commence."
Pushing a stone on the Dragon bracelet a 8'x8' screen appears out of nowhere in the air just above her wrist on the screen her mother's face, "Mother I need to know where the Secretary of the Army is right now and what he or she looks like." "Problems dear"? "Yes, I'll tell you all about it this evening, now can I have the information I requested?" "Sure thing sweetheart, here you go." On the spilt screen two items appear, first a radar image of Air Force One and a picture of the Secretary. "Comet", pointing to the screen, "Fetch". Comet blinks out and blinks back with the Secretary.
"Dragon Academy, drop fifty scout combat setting at level 2". "Roger out". Mean time the PA officer is holding on to the Secretary, "Sir, welcome to Fort Irwin sir". "How in the hell did I get here"? "She did it", pointing to Jill. Mean time Jill is now addresses all the combat units through her bracelet, "Live fire will commence, in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, now" Just as she says that last word, fifty scouts lands, all turning and firing, at level 2 setting, their beams stun unprotected troops, turn off any running vehicles to simulate battle hits, offices commanded troops to return fire, but its to little to late, every vehicle has taken a multi hits from scouts.
"Starfly, place a force shield over all of us here, Dragon academy, remove all but three scouts". "Roger, out". forty seven scouts vanish. She then turns to the Secretary, "You or the Post Commander, or both of you are at fault here today" Her finger pointing up at his face, the news crews are snapping away while the PA officer is trying to stop them. "Jupiter, teleport that officer", pointing at the PA officer, "to the air field now". Turning back to the very shock Secretary, "I'm going to say this once, so you better shut your mouth and listen. I am here to train with the American units".
"You little Bit- aggg". His eyes are like saucers as she hold her hand in the air, her fingers moving slowly, she lower her voice to almost a whisper, "Sorry its not the Force, I'm just using one of natural talents to control gravity at your larynx, by compressing on it, you cannot speak, now you shut up or else". Release her grip on him, she continue loud enough for the News crews to hear all that is said.
"Now I am leaving here for the rest of the day, and tomorrow morning when I return at oh seven hundred live fire will commence at one minute after that. There will be no delays nor press conferences and if you ever make another rider, mother or academy staff wait for your sorry butt then I will make sure you are sitting on top of the Washington Monument, Control turn the scouts level to maximum".
"Roger out".
"Dragons destroy those scouts!"
It took the Dragons 60 seconds to do as she commanded, more then enough time for the news folks to get some really great shots of her pets in action.

Chapter 7
Rest of the week's training with the American Units in California went very well after that first day with the Secretary of the Army. Of course she was questioned by Mother on why she was home so early that first day, and when she explain what had happen and the 'B' word, Mother really flipped out and with her in tow, teleported to the USA Embassy. Let just say the Ambassador was not to please to get an ear full from Mother that day and placed a call to the President. By then the big cheese had already gotten an ear full from the Secretary of the Army but after hearing the report from the Ambassador he asked to be put on speaker. "Ladies I must first apologies for the Secretary actions and that I will be speaking to him in person here in the Oval Office very soon, rest assure you will no doubt be receiving a face to face meeting with him soon and he will be coming to you for that, so feel free to make him wait as long as you wish, again I am so sorry and for what happen, if there is anything I can do for you ladies you need only to ask".
"Mr President, my daughter and I thank you and give our best to the First Lady. Jill you have anything to add"?
"No I'm good, thank you sir".
"Good, Good, then goodbye for now, Ambassador thank you". "Thank you sir"! The line went dead with a soft click as the President hung up.
"Ambassador King, thank you for your quick action, since Jill is home so early I'm afraid my schedule will have to change for the rest of the day and that I'm going to make this a Daughter-Mother outing today".
"No worries Jackie, I will have my secretary reschedule our stuff for another day.
Well Mother's day of Mother-Daughter outing was shopping, she had a Gold card and mother put some damage on it that day, they must have visited every Target, JC Penny, K Mart and Walmart Super Center in the area. She had her try on at least 60 outfits, and that when she realize that she was going to become a clothing horse. But she did agree with mother that she looked cute in the clothes. She asked mother if she could have some pants shorts, but was veto by mother.
"Not till you grow out of your Tom boy ways young lady"!
"But Mother"?
"No buts, and no pants or shorts, now let get something to eat. Burgers or pizza"?
"Pizza"!
A late lunch at the local Pizzarella was fun, then one last stop at the Walmart to check some more outfits. Through out the shopping trips mother had teleport home with the purchases, dropping them off and popping back in a blink of an eye. There been no problems but when she went to pay for our last purchases she was gone just a little bit longer, hung up at the check out line, more then enough time for some shaded character to see a little girl all alone, he been eyeing her and her mother and had almost given up of getting the girl alone, but after losing sight of them for one second and then seeing her alone he decide to grab her and run.
Jill felt his presents more then she could see the man behind her, and before she could turn he grabbed her his one hand covering her month while he held her in the other. She knew they were moving to the closes exit and could have called the dragons but decided that she was going to do this one right here.
Suddenly his little red hair angel felt like she weight a ton, he trips, falling hard on his face, the little girl is on her feet, her falling, feet first, cracked a tile under her. He stands, wiping the blood from his nose, he reach for his prize once more and fines himself flying through the air, a simple judo toss, but done by an eight year old girl. He feels some weight on his chest and when he open his eyes there is a huge black doberman with its feet on his chest, then the girl's mother appears as if from no where and the light comes on in the frig, he had tried to snatch a rider. Later the security tape times would show that this all took place under two minutes.
He tries to move but a growl from Jupiter makes him freeze, turning his face towards Jill he says, "Can I have you autograph, please"?
A smile breaks across her lips then a giggle, then laughter so hard she sits on the floor, her mother, also laughing, join her. The stores security fines them all in the center of the aisle laughing.

Chapter 8
When the Police arrived the store security turn the would be kidnaper over to them, and no he did not get the requested autograph, seems Mr.Blankenship was a known sex offender, and this was his 2nd strike. The video of his attempted kidnaping was turn over to the law as well. The Officers were having fun with that, seems it was leaked to the Internet and posted to Youtube. By the time Jill had returned from the training with the American Units in CA, it had gone to 2.5 million views and was still climbing.
A week after Spring Break Jill was showing Mother a new trick she learned using the Dragon Bracelet, her gravity powers and a crazy dismount 100 feet in the air. Since the bracelet allow you to store the flight outfit and did a instant change storing the street clothes the person had on Jill found she could dismount from her pet, use gravity to slow her decent to the ground and change from the flight uniform to her street clothes in mere two seconds. The bright flash of the bracelet did not allow anyone to see anything when her mother got a call from the Ambassador.
Seems the DA needed to see Jill concerning the case of State Vs Mr.Blankenship, and that the court appointed Public Defender had also requested a meeting with her. Since Jill was a minor her mother would have to be present for both meetings. She would miss most of school on the days talking to these Lawyers, but mother said that her homework would be sent to her.
Getting the contact information for both party from the Ambassador, mother called both, setting up appointments, the first was with the DA office tomorrow 10am, the 2nd would be the next day 10am with the firm of Jackson & Jackson, this meeting would take place at the DA office also.
The next day we are off to the big city. Mother wanted to quietly enter by herself so teleported alone to the side entrance but Jill wanted to come in the main door with her pets, they had discussed the night before that her pets may not be allowed inside but a plan was hatched that would push the envelope, she would enter the building, her pets would follow, when asked to remove the pets she would refuse. The morning of the appointment with the DA, a huge shadow suddenly drops over the area of the DA office, looking up they see three dragons in the sky above, then a body, a child, jumps from the back of the white dragon, falling to the steps below. People scream, many moving away as the dragons vanish and three dog appear on the steps. The child seems to slow almost stopping then a flash of blinding light and there is a little girl wearing a dress and a hat, white knee high, black shoes. Stepping inside the door the first thing she see are the medal detectors, her pets are right on her heels. A deputy sheriff officer steps up and says, "I'm sorry miss but pets are not allowed here unless they service dogs".
"I'm a rider and these are my my dragons", her hands pointing down to the dogs, "They go where I go".
"Miss, I'm sorry but they still cannot come in, pets are not allow, please have them wait outside".
Turning to her pets she says one word, "Go", the dogs vanish only to reappear on the other side of the medal detectors, not wasting any time Jill walks through the detector joining her pets on the other side. The deputy seeing the pets inside then orders Jill to remove her animals.
"Miss, I am going to tell you once and once only to remove your pets or else action will be taken".
"Sir any action taken will be you and your comrades sitting on the two flag poles outside like the NYPD SWAT did last year at the UN. I am a rider and my pets go with me always"! Then homing in on mother's signal the four of them teleported to DA office on the 2nd floor.
"Problems dear"?
"No mother, just some over zealous officer of the law".

Chapter 9
The meeting with the DA went pretty good, the DA, Mr Blacksmith, was doing this one himself, of course there was some concerns about the pets, and even more when he heard what had happen downstairs, so paper work was put in declaring the three dogs service pets. This way they would be allow into the court room during the trial. Mother ask and got the location of the room they were to use when schedule to meet the Public Defender. Seems they were doing this one pro bonus, but the DA said it was a slam duck with the Video evident. Knowing the rooms location would allow them to teleport directly to it. The meeting over mother took her hand and teleport home, her pets right behind her.
The next day, at the DA office, the public defender, Mr.Blankenship, (who was out on some bond), the DA, were all sitting in the room schedule for the meeting, at exactly 10am Jackie, Jill and Jupiter teleport in. Comet and Starfly were out side the rooms only door. Seeing them pop in was something new to the PD, but he quickly recovered, shuffle some papers and then introduce himself.
"Welcome Ladies, my name is BB Wright, I'm a associate at Jackson & Jackson , and I am defending Mr Blankenship on the charges of attempt kidnaping". Again as before they watch the video evident, Mr Wright asking just about the same questions the DA had asked the day before. Through out this Mr Blankenship had his eyes on Jill most of the time, any move he made was watch closely by Jupiter.
After the video was over, Mr Wright turn to us and tossed an large envelope to the DA. "There was no kidnaping, just an uncle playing with his niece".
Opening the envelope the DA see pictures of Mr Blankenship on Dragon Pacific with Jill and others.
"Where did these come from"?
Mother was quick, using her bracelet she scan them, "They all fakes Mr Blacksmith, all photo shop on a PC.
"Prove it in court Ms Madisome, we plan on showing these as evident that Mr Blankenship was just playing with his niece, a fact that all of you were aware of since at the end of the video when security arrived you were all on the floor laughing".
"He asked for my autograph, as you can plainly hear in the video, it just crack me up after him trying to carry me off. Now if he pleads guilty to all charges in court I will give him a 8x10 autograph picture he can hang in his 6x6 prison cell".
Mr Blankenship turns and whispers to his lawyer, Mr Wright then picks up the papers off the desk, places them back in his briefcase closing it. "We have a deal, my client has agreed to your terms, I believe we done here today".
After Mr Wright and Mr Blankenship have left, the DA turns to them both, "Well shut my mouth, I wish all my cases were like this one, for a minute after seeing the photos I had some worries that he could get off, but not now, its a open and shut case, my thank little lady".
"Jill which picture will you autograph for him"?
"Mother", a small grin on her lips, "the one where he is flying through the air." Everyone in the outer office stops as loud laughter from the DA escape from the conference room.
By alter-ego Synopsis:When two islands appear, it causes world wide changes as the nations unite into a global government. Welcome the Dragon Riders! |
The Islands Bakery had been working overtime to get 196 cakes ready, because there were so many cakes the Mothers had decided on keeping it simple and just do one design, but even then they were rushed to finish them all. Tomorrow the Dragon Riders would all be nine years old. Their mothers would all have a private little birthday breakfast with their daughters, and give them their gifts. At noon there were to be parties at all the Embassies, cake and ice cream to be served, blow out the candles etc., Jill would be attending the party at the U.S. Embassy. That evening a State Dinner was planned with all Riders, Mothers and Ambassadors. There would be a few words said by the Academy Staff members, Doctor Sands was schedule to speak regarding news of the Base on Mars.
Today it just another normal school day, yet you could feel the excitement in the air through out the academy, riders were buzzing, tomorrow was their birthday, a whole year had passed! The last time the riders all felt this excited was the day Doctor Sands spoke to them in the pocket universe, they all just completed five and half weeks of training with their pets, and the speech from the doctor was the last time he had spoken to them just before the U.N. mission.
Jill had just finished up her Modern Dance/Ballet classes, next was Dragon training, and she was going to try something new using her gravity powers. With a single dragon in flight, she was going to wing walk, spinning like a cork screw, centrifugal force would have thrown her off but by countering that with her gravity powers she was able to remain on her pet. She found she could even walk across the dragon's back and wings. Next was a loop the loop, follow with a inside loop then and outside loop, her gravity powers keeping her locked in place aboard the dragon. Last was a good old barrel roll with a dive, she rode like a surfer riding the wave.
During the training, her bracelet beeps and the 8x8 screen pops up with her mother's face center on it. "Jill, after training could you meet me at the U.S. Embassy"? "Sure mother, is it ok to pop over with the dogs"? "I would say yes, the Secretary of the Army is there and has ask to meet with you to apologize for the Fort Irwin incident". "Has he been waiting long"? "The Ambassador says he been here all day, but did not wish to interrupt your classes". "All right mother, I'll be right over as soon as training period is over". "Thank you dear, see you then", a little finger wave and she is gone, the 8x8 screen vanishes.
"OK, one last run of the spinning cork screw, Jupiter, center stage, Comet left, Starfly right". As the dragons spin, she wing walks, across Comet, Jupiter, then Starfly, and back. She notes that her flight suit's chameleon properties work perfectly, changing from white to black, to golden and back as she cross the dragons wings. Stopping on Jupiter's back, "OK guys we are done today, lets pop over to the US Embassy , I hope that windbag's apologies is a short one".
In a blink of an eye, the three dragons are over the U.S. Embassy, as the dogs teleport to ground Jill drops to earth like a stone, feet first, then mere seconds to impact she slows to almost a full stop, then a blinding flash and there she is in her School Uniform safe on the ground. The Marine guard on duty salutes her and informs her the Ambassador and party are inside at his office waiting for her. Throwing a two little finger salute at the marine she walks off towards the entrance tossing a small reply back, "Thanks gunny".
Arriving at the office, she was told they were expecting her and to go on in. As she did, the Ambassador and the Secretary both rose to their feet. Mother remained seated waiting for Jill to come over. Moving next to her mother, she bends slightly giving her a small kiss to the cheek, mother returns it with a small air kiss and ask, "How was the training"? Oh it was great! We did a spinning cork screw, in formation, wing tip to wing tip and I walk across all three and back"!
"Greetings once more Ambassador, and Mr Secretary, I hope your wait was not to long", a slight grin played across her face as she turned her head from him just at that moment.
"Greetings and salutation to you Ms Madisome, please have a seat", the Ambassador motions to a chair next to her mother. Moving over to it she turns and sits looking at the Secretary.
"No, no, I been having a wonderful time chatting with the Ambassador and your mother, the Ambassador even gave me a tour of the island by electric car, lovely place, I'm just happy that I finally meant you in a more pleasant atmosphere and I hope you will accept my sincere apology for our first meeting".
"Apologies accepted Mr Secretary, and to show their are no hard feelings if your schedule allows it we having a little party here at the Embassy tomorrow, its my Birthday and there will be a State dinner that evening. Doctor Sands will be dropping in as well during this to update us on the Mars base".
"I love to, but I have a meeting with the Joints Chiefs tomorrow and will be flying out this evening. Thank you".
"No problem, sorry you can't make it", turning to the others, "I've got a ton of homework may I be excused"?
"Oh yes dear, I'll see you in a few for dinner". Jupiter pops in and they blink out to home.
She awakes refreshed, ready for this day, in fact eager with excitement, today is her Birthday, she and her sisters are nine years old. Because it is such an major event, the academy has canceled all classes today, declaring the day a Island holiday!.
As her feet touch the floor, her pets all pop in, each with a small package held ever so gentle in their mouths. "Jupiter, Starfly, Comet, what is this? Gifts for me from you? Did mother help with the wrapping"? A whine from them all as each one step forward and presented her with the small gift they carried. From Jupiter was a Star Diopside, "ooo Such a manly stone Jupiter, did you get this from your hord"? Another whine and a paw up over his eye, "Thank you Jupiter". Next was Starfly, her gift was a Fire Opal, "OOOh Starfly, it glows like you when the light hits it, thank you". Starfly sit up, paws in the air and barks twice. Comet, not to be out done by her brother and sister, first a bow to Jill, steps up and gentle drops the gift in hands. She then steps back and sits waiting. "Oh milady Comet I thank thee also". Opening the small gift she fines a Danburite. "OH! Comet such a beautiful stone, it looks almost like a diamond yet its so white". Dropping to her knees in front of the three dogs she gives each one a very big hug, and a big kiss, each is told how much she loves the gift and how much she loves them.
"Breakfast is ready Jill". "Be right down Mother", grabbing her robe, she quickly puts it on tieing the sash and after jumping into her slippers she rushes down stairs with her pets right on her heels, "Mother did you see the gifts Jupiter, Starfly and Comet gave me"? "Ha, yes I did young lady, I was wrapping yours when they pop in on me and each place a stone from their hord in my hand". "How about we have the jewelers make a necklace with them, it is something that could be wore anywhere. "Yes! I like that idea"!
As her mother sits her breakfast at the table, she pulls her chair out and quickly take a seat, "giggles". "Oh what so funny young lady?" "How you fixed my plate Mother". On the plate, two pieces of toast, cut corner to corner at the top right and left, below two sunny side eggs side by side, and just below them two sausage links sightly curved as if a smile. A glass of juice was next to the plate. "Just a little humor from your Mother dear, now eat up we have a long day ahead". "Yes Mother".
He stood there looking out at where the "Blue Box" had first appeared so many years ago, the warning of the impending attack upon his world from the silver haired old gent that called himself the "Doctor" and his help in the advancement of their own tech to battle and defeat it, and the promise they made that "Doctor" that they would do all they could to help other worlds, other dimensions with their knowledge of Time and Dimension Travel, TDT they called it, and to honor the "Doctor" every Engineer was titled Dr.
"Dr Sands? Remember you are to be on Earth Prime for the Birthday party". He turns to his assistant. "Be sure that the TDT gate is ready after the party for the first Dragon Rider to leave on her first mission". "Once they receive their final gift from us they will be on their own for a long time, their only link with their home world will be a telepathy link with their mothers. But when they return from that mission they will be far more powerful". "Yes Dr, all will be ready". With that he turn and once more look back where that Box had landed so many years ago. "Thank you Doctor, may the dragons bless you".

Birthday Party and the Final Gift.

Chapter 14
By alter-ego Synopsis:When two islands appear, it causes world wide changes as the nations unite into a global government. Welcome the Dragon Riders! |
The first thing after breakfast Jackie took Jill to the islands' Jeweler to see about getting a necklace made using the three stones gifted by the dogs. Now before when you sought something such as they sought this day, a commission piece of brand new work would take weeks to complete. Not here on Dragons Island.
Staff at the island were by far the best from the Engineer's home world. Teleporting out front they both quickly enter, the ding of the overhead bell being the first greetings, the second coming from the Jeweler himself. "Ms Madisome, Jill! What can I do for you today?" "Ahh right to the point Dr. Kent, we seek your skills to make something special for Jill, honey show him the stones." "Yes Mother, here you are Dr Kent." Taking the stones from her he holds them one at time into the air above him, slowly turning each one as he does. "I see, how would you like these mounted?" "As a necklace, something I can wear all the time, even in battle". "Yes Dr Kent, and be sure to put all the bells and whistles for her on it". "Ahh, yes I will do that."
Placing the stone on his work surface, he activate it and a 3D image of the stones appears before him, as he rolls and sizes each stone in the image the stones on the work surface copy move for move, once sizing he then has a drop menu appear over each stone, looking at them and the stones he selects what he thinks would be the best "Bells and Whistles" for each stone from the options listed. "Ms Madisome, Jill, for the Bell and Whistles the Fire Opal will be able to create a warming zone somewhere around 100 yards if necessary, but can also be pull in much closer. For the Danburite a cooling zone much as the Opal does. The best will be Diopside, here we will put infinity storage. Touch an item and touch the stone will result in that item being stored until needed. By touching the stone alone a menu will appear before you and when you select an item from the menu it will appear before you ready for use. Great place to store cash, snacks, bottle water, clothes etc.." "Now Jill don't get any ideas about trying to sneak something out of the main kitchen for your dragons". "giggles, I will be good Mother, but it does give me ideas for what I can carry, thank you Dr Kent." "Your very welcome Dragon Rider."
Turning back to his work surface, he picks up two bars, one is gold the other silver, "Now which shall we used for the necklace Jill?" "I like silver best, what do you think Mother?" "Yes silver is good." "Silver it is then." He place the silver bar next to the stones on the work surface, an image of the bar appears in the 3D overhead. Touching the bar image first he moves his fingers across the area and strands of silver move from the bar on the work surface. The work surface is copying move for move from the 3d display. Like working with clay, his fingers dance across the 3d image, the strands twisting till it look like a serpent scales, a solid thin bar running across the center, the three stones resting securely within it. Seeing a bit of silver left, he touches all three stones on the 3D overhead and another drop menu appears, with a touch on it he copies all three twice, but at far smaller sizes, then with another wave of fingers over the silver image he makes matching stud-less earrings.
"With your Mother's permission I would like to give a small gift with the necklace." "Of course Dr Kent, you have it, she is old enough for earrings." "Oh Mother, Thank you, thank you both". Dr Kent picks up a ear gun, much like what you see at any cross town jewelry shop. "All right lean in bit", and quickly he touches the gun to each lobe of her ears, only no pain or sound, "There all done". He then pick up one of the earrings and places it over the area where he had used the gun, the earring is held in position, "No holes or studs to clean." "giggles". picking the other he repeats the process on the other ear. Holding a mirror up for Jill he ask "well, what do you think?"
She looked in the mirror to see two dragon images, wings up in flight, the opal was at the eye on each, and the other two stones were at wing tips. "I love them Dr. Kent! Thank you!" "Your welcome, now raise your force shield for a brief moment then lower it". With a inquiring look she did as requested. "Now Ms Madisome, if you would try to remove one of her earrings." "Ahh I see, I cannot, they are lock to the lob of the ear". "Yes only Jill can now remove them when getting ready for bed or bath". "Oh wow!" "Very nice Dr Kent." "Now for the necklace." He holds it to her upper chest and reaches behind her neck, Jill helps by holding her hair up out of the way, when secured he then tell her to repeat the force shield once more. "Good it to is locked to you and only you can remove it. Now as we know little girls grow up to be big girls," a look from Ms Madisome, "women, and childhood trinkets out grow them self, not so your necklace." Handing her another bar of silver, "when it is time to get the necklace resized, hold this bar of silver to it and touch all three stones, the necklace will adjust to fit you once more, let this be the first treasure to be stored in the infinity storage." Holding the bar out in front of her, she touches the black stone and the bar vanishes from sight. She then touches the stone and sees the drop menu, the bar being the only item listed. "Oh thank you Dr Kent, they are perfect." "Your welcome Jill, Ms Madisome, If you need anything else feel free to ask." "Thank you Dr Kent, now Jill we have much to do to be ready for the party, Good day Dr Kent." grasping Jill's hand she give him a brief nod as Jill does a finger wave, he nods and waves back as they vanish from the shop. "May the dragons be with you always Dragon Rider."
Home once more, Jill goes to show off the necklace to her three pets, something about getting doggy treats, Jackie pop upstairs to lay out Jill dress for the party at the American Embassy. It was a lovely white satin party dress that fell just below the knees and zips up the back, puffy shoulders and long sleeves. There was a large blue sash that went around and tied in the rear, a full white slip, matching panties, knee high white stocking with little blue bows at the very top and white princess pumps with a 2" square heel. She knew that Jill was going to look super cute, and made sure to have the house computer take lots of photos of her transformation. She then made sure to lay out her own outfit for the party before dashing off to check on Jill and the dogs.
She found her pulling doggy treats out of the infinity storage and was please to note that the house computer had taken several pictures already. "Jill I would like to give my gift to you now, before the party." "Yes mother", moving to stand before her, her pets all lining up next to her. With a smile on her face Jackie pops out returning almost to the second with a large box next to her. Jill lean a bit forward to peek, "no peeking just yet Jill". "Yes Mother." "First for your Guardians, three special collars. All are marked with the Rune for Hope and their names. When they transform to dragon the collar will vanish but will return when they transform back, these collar also serve as tracking in the event you become separated from them. For you I have a new flight suit with some very special items, far to many to just chat here, and I feel you will enjoy time alone when you play with its special abilities."
Just then the door bell rings, "Ahh saved by the bell." "giggles." "That will be our Beautician to get us ready for the party, time to be pamper my girl!"
Oh the party was a great success! The Ambassador sent over his Limo to pick us up, when she ask Mother why the Limo her reply was, "Class, one does not teleport to a party in designer gowns baby". As they pulled up center on a huge red carpet, the honor guard in full dress uniforms snapped to attention. The NCOIC open their door, and first out were the dogs, all wearing new kerchiefs of pink for the girls and blue for Jupiter, not to be out done by the honor guard, the dogs quickly line up, girl, boy, girl and sat up, cameras were flashing as News folks tried to capture all they could before the group enter the embassy grounds. Mother was next, she was gorgeous in her gown, her escort was none other then the Ambassador himself. As Jill was just started to get out of the Limo, a gloved hand took her hand, words that followed, "Here you go Rider, let me help you". As she looked up she see the Gunnery Sergeant from before, "Sure thing gunny, thanks!" "My pleasure Ms". Hand in hand they walk through the gates her pets following in behind her.
Was it busy after the party, a message from Dr Sand for all riders, moms to meet at the Auditorium at 9PM. Before this, huge shipments were off loaded for all riders. Engineers were handed out what looked like backpacks but were infinity storage, when she was given one, she asked, "What happens if you put an infinity storage device inside another infinity storage?" "Nothing, its still just an item that is stored." She then stored it. "Ahh this will be a lot easier for you then, as you have to use your wrist com with the backpack on your back to load and unload items, here is the inventory that you will need to store before your 9PM meeting." As she looked over the list she was surprised to see that it was a HUGE load of items, crates & crates of items, food, clothing, equipment, weapons, much was for her use as well as for the pets, but other items struck her odd. "Why so many weapons, uniforms etc..?" "Not my department, just following orders from Dr Sands, all riders are to get the same amount of items with one exception." "Oh, this one exception?" "Is you, Ms Rider, orders are to double yours load, any more you will have to wait to see Dr Sands." Seeing she was not going to get any more answers she quickly went through the list, storing all items in her infinity storage just finishing when her Mother paged her, "Yes Mother?" "Just about finished Dear?" "Yes Mother." "Good meet me at home, out."

It seems time flies when you are busy. The Birthday party had been a great success. She had a load of fun, something her Mother knew she would need. That evening all Riders were present for a State dinner, it was there the bombshell was dropped by the Head Engineer, Dr Sands. All Riders were leaving on very special missions through the TDT gate tonight, most would not return for sometime, talk was years while others said only a year. This talk of how long these missions were to be was why her Mother had called her.
"Jill are you done?" "Yes Mother, I just finished with Supply, hard to believe all I have in the infinity storage, why these even a few landing and flying crafts. " "You may need them from what I was briefed about early." "Oh? How so Mother?" Something to do with TDT effects, for us you will be gone a year maybe less." "A year? For you? What of the rider?" Depending on where and when they are and the missions, they could return in a year or two, or more." "Or more?" "You could be gone a very long time and only in the TDT gate will you have any communications with home. While out of it you will have no contact with me." "When are we to leave?" Dr Sands is getting the TDT ready as we speak. Riders will be told when to report with their Mother to the gate for finally checks." "So this evening may be one of our last for a long time Mother?" "Yes dear, it truly may be, my prayers will be with you and of course while in the gate we will be able to speak to each other. I have a few gifts for you to take as well as one from Dr Sands." "Gift from Dr Sands?" "Yes he calls it the final gift and it is something that you will be able to do once you exits the TDT on any other Earth. But first my gifts, not knowing where you will be or how long you will be alone you will need funds, and only certain items may meet those needs. First these diamonds will come in handy, small fortune here I would say, worth several million on our earth. I also have gold, silver bars and other gems for you just in case, here is also a complete library on this table, every book every written is here. There are also tons and tons of videos, movies, shows, cartoons," 'A wink'. "Mother! Still thanks, I shall keep it close always, and will make a backup first chance I get, just in case." "Now for Dr Sands gift, put this chip on the wrist comm. Once you enter the TDT it will activate the gift." "This gift? what will it do?" "It will allow you to copy powers of others, including the dragons." "What?! I will be able to fly, teleport like them? Will it be permanent?" "Yes to both! Once on the other side of the TDT you will be able to fly with the dragons!" "There will be a limit to how many powers you will be able to copy, Dr Sands said ten was the cap." "Ten, OK."
The gate had been working for hours, Rider after Rider said farewell to Mothers, then began that long walk down that spinning, corkscrew like tunnel, they had been told in training, 'The further you walked down that spinning tunnel the further in time you will travel, each time you return to your gate that tunnel will be there to take you to the next time or dimension'.
"Gate moderators, be sure to calibrate for three and the rider." "Yes sir, doing so now." "Jill just like in training, when told, start walking till you see the gate, once there you will be allow to exit the tunnel at the other end, once you exits the gate will vanish so that the local population does not intervene, once your mission is complete you will be able to signal for the TDT to return." "Jill." "Yes Mother?" "Be safe my daughter. I love you." "I love you to Mother, don't worry we will be back." A shout, "Sir calibration complete, gate is ready." "Jill." "Yes sir, Mother." A quick hug, then she steps up inside the tunnel, with one last look back, she turns and begins the walk down the tunnel. the dogs right in step with her, then they were gone!
Justice League orbiting satellite, Captain Atom on watch. So far it had been a very quieted watch when alarms sounded, at neck breaking speed, a check of the computer confirms an emergency on Earth, within seconds he sends. "To all Justice League members, Boom Tube sighted, central USA, Kansas, Smallville."
I am a OLD fan of the Time Tunnel TV Show, along with The Dr, and I grew up on the old comics such JLA, Superman, Supergirl, Legion of superheroes etc.. So I am sending our Rider on a mission that will send her through time and space. When she is ready she will return home.

Before her was an sea of golden waves of grass, stepping out of the TDT gate and touching the soil she realize she was no longer on her Earth. Behind her the gate closed, it would not reopen for her till she was ready to call it. Looking at the grass, her computer comm informed her it was wheat. "Hey guys, its wheat. Computer says we are in central Kansas. Better get some eyes in the air." A touch of the necklace, small menu only she can see. "Drones, small, camera only." Once the drone appears, she orders it to fly overhead. Looking at the 8x8 image above her wrist she sees waves of golden grass for miles, then one lone house when suddenly a face of an angel appears on the screen, "Well, well, a toy?" Looking up she sees a young lady wearing some sort of costume, white top, red cape, blue shorts, red boots. "Supergirl?" "Yes that is my name and you are?" Still holding the drone she lower her altitude. "A minion of Darkseid from Apokolips? Or a New God from New Genesis?" "I'm sorry, but neither, I'm from." A male voice interrupt. "Earth Prime." Looking around where the voice came from she see, "Martian Manhunter!" Next to him is several other members of the JLA, "Oh wow." Green Lantern, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Hawkgirl, Green Arrow, The Flash. Wonder Woman ask, "Manhunter are you sure?" "Yes Diana, and this child is known as a dragon rider. Her three pets are not as they seem." "Thank you sir, my name is Jill Madisome and these three are Jupiter, Starfire, Comet and I am sure you know why I am here." "Yes I do Jill Madisome, yes I do indeed."
Its not everyday the JLA appears in a wheat field you think that there be people running for the hills, or at least the local bomb shelter. Not so the Kents. A loud shout, "Kara, Clark invite your guests on over, Mom has fresh baked Apple pies". Jill's stomack 'growls' and the dogs all sit up. Everyone just about fell down when that happen, even Batman smiled, "Looks like we are having pie Kara, welcome to the Kent farm Jill." "Thanks Superman". "Call me Kal". "Kal and thanks". Turning to her dogs she points over at the farm house and all four vanish appearing next to Mr Kent who took a step back in surprise. "Whoa, who is this?" "Hello Mr Kent, my name is Jill and these three are Jupiter, Starfire, Comet". Martian Manhunter's comment can be overheard as JLA also joins them, "As I said they are not as they seem". "Land sakes Pa, where your matters, lets get these folks inside, pie is all ready to serve". A blur of red flies by and inside The Flash is eating his third piece, "I have a high metabolism". "Mercy look at this child". "Hello Mrs Kent". "Would you like a piece of pie young lady"? 'growls' 'blushes' "I assume so, well sit here child I'll get you a piece of pie and a glass of milk. Pa, pull out three ham bones for her pets". "Sure thing Dear".
As she sits there eating that pie she begins to tell them of her mission, and just as she finishes the last bite, "So you can see I have a lot to do and with your help I can get quite a bit done here." Mrs Kent, "Child how old are you?" Looking at the Manhunter she lies, saying to herself, 'please, please', "I'm nine, yesterday was my birthday." He looks at her then the Kents and does not reply. "My goodness, who would send a child to do such a danger mission"? Manhunter, "People that have to". "Mrs Kent, I'd like to give you something for your hospitality". "Child you don't have, Oh my? Is that a diamond?" "Yes, please accept it as my gift to you". "Child I," Batman, "Take it Mrs Kent, she would leave it here when she left anyway." Mrs Kent nods, "Quite a sleight of hands there, the black gem is some sort of storage device"? "Yes we call it an infinity storage". "I take that by the name the storage is huge?" "Very, when I touch the stone a menu appears that only I see, then I just ask or select what I need." Kara, "Like this drone I grabbed?" Batman, "I've been looking at it and there are some very amazing qualities within that drone." "Please Batman, keep it, I have others, I can even download the schematics for it". "That would be nice". Manhunter, "I think its time we left here for the station, there Jill can start the first part of her mission." "Agree". "Yes". "Kal can I go"? "Not this time Kara, this is JLA business". "Bye Kara, it was great to finally meet you". "You to Jill. I'm sure we will see each other before you leave", looking at her cousin Kal. "Yes, I hope so". Outside Manhunter touches his ear and says, "Watch Tower, twelve to beam up." Jill, "Beam me up Scotty"!

It was coming up on three weeks so far, up here high in orbit above the Earth below, not her Earth, the Earth. Manhunter had taken her under his wing so to speak that first day, to show her around, assign quarters, etc.. Of course they had a little chat concerning her white lie to the Kents, which of course was shared with the rest of the senior members of the JLA. They were surprised as well as shocked, except Batman, he knew there was something off that first meeting and was glad that Jill had come clean.
Only ten, that was all she could copy, of course teleportation was one, which she did ASAP, far easier to get around when you could teleport. But the other nine, she had to go slow here and was working on a list, she was limit to a person one power not all, like with the Manhunter, he could shape shift, turn invisible, phase through any object fly, she would not be able to copy all of his powers specially if she wanted to get more seriously stronger powers such as Super strength, speed, flight. The list of heroes had been long and she was working on lower it more and more each day. Of course she had her own powers as well, invulnerability, above average strength, and the ability to influence gravity, and her Dragon Bracelet was for her Force Shield. It was like her Necklace and Earrings, only she could remove it, and did so very rarely.
So far she had on her list, The Flash's Super speed, Superman's super strength, Flight, she was going to ask Kara for that, besides she had promised to see her again. That would leave six more she could aquire, and there was the trip to the 30th Century she was planning after confirming with the JLA members that the Legion of Super-Heroes did exist, but first she needed to finish up here. She been down to the Earth a few times, mostly in Gotham City at Wayne Enterprises where she had met Lucius Fox. So far all was going well there, her drone was a BIG hit with him, seems there were features it had that the current drones of this world did not and had been promised a HUGE shipment of items that she would be able to take back to her Earth. Still her attempts to reach the owner of LexCorp in Metropolis, a Mr. Lex Luthor were being stonewall, by a Ms Lana Lang, the current CEO of LexCorp, so she was concern that she would not be able to get the technology she was seeking. Rumors had it that Lex Luthor had mastered seemingly every known form of science, including space travel, extra-dimensional travel, biochemistry, robotics, computers, synthetic polymers, communications, mutations, transportation, holography, energy generation, spectral analysis, and more. His current whereabout were Top Secret, but word was he was piloting a prototype jet on a proposed trip around the world.
Oh man was she glad she was only doing one power at a time, that first day when she copied The Flash's power was an eye opener. Manhunter had suggested they do it off the Watch Tower, someplace large, empty, flat. Nevada desert was picked. That first day was so bad with her tripping over her feet so many times, had it not been for her teleporting powers she would have ate a lot of sand. The Flash was there with her, more or less a coach, he to remembers the problems he had the first time he ran. By the end of day five he was full of praise, "That good, you are doing great, now try the phasing through the rock once more". Doing that only took mere seconds and on the other side he again congrats her. "Excellent, I think you got it, race you to the LA transport station".
Jill, "OK, on your mark, get set, GO"!
Manhunter looks down at the dogs, "Guess we will meet them on the station, come on you three". Up and away they were.
The next day she met Manhunter and Superman in the kitchen of the station. They were in one of the prep rooms. There on a huge table were cases of eggs, a huge empty bowl and empty egg cases.
Superman, "Manhunter came up with this training aid, its something I have to be concern about all my life, and my Pa did just this trick with sending me to the hen house to get eggs for breakfast every morning".
Manhunter, "After you copy his power of Super strength you are to remove those eggs from the cases to the empty cases, any eggs you break drop in the bowl, the shells can be fish out and the eggs can be used for breakfast tomorrow. Here you might need this", hands her an apron and hair net.
Putting the apron and hair net on, she turns towards Superman, who puts his hand out, she places her hand in his and presses the stone on her bracelet. Superman, "Done"?
Jill, "Yes".
Manhunter, "OK, then we will see you later".
Superman, Good luck, you'll need it".
Jill, "Thanks".
That first day she had to ask for more eggs and another huge bowl, moving eggs by finger from case to case seem easy, but not with super strength. By day two she manage to get a case filled, but broken them trying to repeat the process going the other way. Day three far more make it, day four again far more made it. By day five all the eggs made it and she was asked to break eggs in the bowl, minus the shells this time. For another five days every morning she reported to the kitchen and broken eggs for breakfast. On the last day she was a moving blur using not only her speed but her control on getting and breaking eggs for breakfast.
Shipments of items were being delivered daily to an empty ware house own by Wayne Enterprises, here she would take delivery of these items places all in storage. The aid she was getting from them was without question inspiring. When she told Mr Fox this he just said, "Little lady the tech you gave us has double our profit this quarter, and we expect to triple it next quarter, all thanks to you and your toys".
Jill, "Glad I was able to help. I wish I been able to talk to Mr Luther about some of his tech or ideas".
Mr Fox, "Well reports have that his plane crashed in the Andes, no body was recovered so no one knows if he dead or alive. I did try to talk to that Ms Lang for you, but she refused to talk to me and I am sure she is busy with trying to save LexCorp".
Jill, "Save LexCorp"?
Mr Fox, LexCorp's Board of Directors are seeking full control of the company, no doubt to oust Ms Lang from the CEO position".
Jill, "oh well, I guess I can just give up on speaking to him then, and continue on with the training".
Mr Fox, "What is next"?
Jill, "Flight, I'm to meet Kara today at the Watch tower, then off to train for a few days".
Mr Fox, "We will be sure to have another load here soon".
Jill, "Thank you sir, I will see you then in a few days"?
By alter-ego Synopsis:When two islands appear, it causes world wide changes as the nations unite into a global government. Welcome the Dragon Riders! |
After leaving the ware house in Gotham City, Jill returned to the Watch Tower using the teleport station at Wayne Enterprises. Once aboard her ear piece (given to her by Manhunter) picks up a message for her. Manhunter, "Jill? Kara is waiting for you at the Kent's Farm, I will tell the watch to teleport you there"?
Touching her ear, "Understood Manhunter, standing by". To her pets, "Well guess we are going flying guys"! Blight light and next they standing in front of the Kent's house. Kara, "Jill! Great to see you little sister"! Looking around she see Kara, still in her 'farm clothes' leap/fly over from the barn towards her, "Wow, you make that look so easy"!?
Pa Kent, "Hello Jill. I see Kara turn to teach you? Guess I lose my best helper for a few days"?
Kara, "Don't you worry Pa, I'll make sure to keep up on my chores. We'll be only training a few hours in the morning and afternoon, so I'll have time to catch up on anything that I need to do", giving Jill a wink.
Pa, "Well, ok then, you two be sure to be back at Lunch time, Ma will have it ready for us then".
Kara, "Will do Pa".
Jill, "Mr Kent"?
Pa, "Yes, and call me Pa, same goes for the Mrs, we are your Pa and Ma as long as you are here".
Jill, "Thank you Mr err, Pa, would it be ok that I leave the dogs here this first day? I'm sure that they will be pretty bored with watching me try to fly, and they can be a great help to you".
Pa, "Sure no problems, hey Jup, Star, and Comet, you all up herding a few cows for me"? All three sit up, then stand looking around for the cows." Once more we mere humans break down from the actions of our pets.
Well not much happen that first few hours of training, Kara and I went to a quite spot near the barn and she then hover just about two feet off the ground. "This is how Kal help me learn to fly".
Jill, "Oh? How? What am I to do"?
Kara, "Visualize that you are floating just off the ground like I am. Now this may take some time, it took forever for me and I had to practice daily".
Jill, "OK". Closing my eyes, I visualize that I was off the ground, it felt like I had less weight, yet I still felt the soil under my feet. I could feel the sweat from my brow as I concentrated for what seem hours till I heard.
Ma Kent, "Girls, lunch time, come and get it".
Kara, "OK Ma. Jill time to quit for now, we will pick up where we left off at right after lunch, OK"?
Jill, "OK." I open my eyes and I felt my feet come firmer in contact with the ground below me, the look on my face made Kara giggle.
Kara, "You felt it didn't you"?
Jill, "Yes I did, I was off the ground, not much but I was off it".
Ma Kent, "Come on girls or I'll give it to the dogs".
Kara, Jill, "Coming Ma".
During lunch we got a full report on how well the dogs did with the cows, Pa warn Ma that a few might be giving cream after being teleported by one of the dogs back to the herd when they try to break out. Some mean old matriarch tried to stare down Jup, till she was teleport back to her place, brought a huge laugh from all.
Well right after lunch it was right back to lessons, more of the same trying to hover. But three hours later I was able to get a full six inches off the ground, I was so happy, I could fly and felt myself rise just a few more inches.
Kara, "Yes, your spirit helps with flying, I think that is enough tonight, get a good night rest and be back here in the morning, when you can get Ten feet up and hold that we will try higher and faster lessons".
Jill, "Sure thing Kara, thanks for today, I'll be back in the morning". Over at the house she calls for her pets, turns and waves to the Kents, gives Kara a hug and another promise to be back tomorrow, "Watch Tower, four to beam up".
The next day Jill is right back at it, more of the same as she and Kara continue to train, the dogs help with the farm chores. Carrying slop to the pigs was never as easy as this was, grab the handle of the pail, teleport to Mr. Kent, step back from the pail and watch him pour it in the trough, the dogs like this game and were happy to help. More of the same with feeding the calfs. Again the dogs made it a game. Herd the cows in for milking, far easier this time, even that old matriarch had learn her lesson. By lunch time Jill was a full five feet up and able to hold it, so Kara was having her push to ten if possible by the end of the day, which meant real flying tomorrow if she got to ten feet today.
At lunch, more tails of the three best little helpers every. Then back to training. By the end of the day she was at fifteen feet. She was no longer grounded, and tomorrow they would start with tethered flight.
By alter-ego Synopsis:When two islands appear, it causes world wide changes as the nations unite into a global government. Welcome the Dragon Riders! |
Being tethered with a harness was new. We had moved away from the barn to a more open location, here I was to try and move while floating in the air. Getting up in the air was easier now, but to move, I had no clue.
Kara, "Jill, pick a point on the horizon and try to move there". For the first hour it seem nothing was happen and I was getting really upset and wanted to kick, scream at how frustrated I was getting.
Kara, "Jill calm down, you need to be focus on the horizon, not right here".
Jill, "Easy for you to say, you can fly all I can do is float".
Kara, "It will come, now pick your point and try to move there".
Jill, "Yes Sergeant".
Kara, 'giggles'.
Looking out over the horizon she see the dogs herding the cows again for Pa, and notices the fun they having and wishes she could join them when all the sudden she is moving toward them and only the tether that bring her up short.
Kara, "Wow, what brought that on"?
Jill, "The dogs, they having so much fun and I wanted to join them".
Kara, "I think we can let go with the tether and try just flight, let me unhook you and we will join the herding operation, it will be fun for you".
Jill, "OK".
Once unhook they both flew over to the area where the dogs and cows were, Pa waved from the gate area, and Kara did a loop where as I just barely wobble a bit. But flying with the dogs was far more fun.
By lunch time Kara had told me that we would try higher altitude for some more aerial movements.
That afternoon we were at 200 feet, the dogs had joined us and were floating at locations along the flight path she was to take.
Kara, "The dogs are speed bumps that you have to move around to get to me, think of them as tall building, trees, mountains".
Jill, "OK".
At first she kept hitting the speed bumps, Kara kept giggling each time she hit one of the dogs, but by the end of the day she was getting better at making course connections to avoid hitting the 'tall building, trees, mountains'.
"Kara, OK, that enough for today. We will go higher tomorrow, less building", giggles, and try for more speed".
Jill, smiles, "OK with me, I am so glad you have the patience to work with me".
Kara, "Jill I went through all you did with me when I first came to Earth. I did not have the years of experience my cousin had and had to learn like you are doing now".
Jill, "Hard to believe, you move so graceful in the air, it was why I asked you for help".
Kara, "Thanks".
Back at the house, Jill gives Kara another hug with a promise to return tomorrow and waves bye to the Kents once more.
The next morning sees them at 1000 feet. Kara is surprised that the dogs are able to do sub sonic and super sonic flight, she did not think they could move that fast, yet they were keeping up with her. Kara, "Wow your pets are fantastic, they are able to keep up with me and copy every move".
Jill, "You should see them in dragon mode".
Kara, "Can I"?
Jill, "Lets check with Watch tower if its ok for them to do it here, I hate to have a airliner hit some turbulence caused by them".
Kara, "OK".
Jill, "Watch Tower this is Jill, can you give me some information on air traffic near us, I want to have the dragons release"?
Green Arrow, "Jill, stay below Angels 10, air traffic at Angels 20".
Jill, "Roger that Watch Tower, thanks. Green Arrow says we can, but stay below 10000 feet".
Kara, "OK, good."
Moving up a few 1000 feet Jill gives the following commands to her pets.
Jill, "Alright guys, dragon flight, diamond formation on my mark, mark".
Instantly the dogs are gone and in a perfect V formation are her three Dragons.
Jill, "OK guys lets keep circling a bit".
Kara, How fast can they go in this form"?
Jill, They are able to fly at hypersonic speeds, but can't do that to close to the ground as the winds they would generate at such speeds could knock over a forest or buildings".
Kara, "How did you stay on them when in flight"?
Jill, "I have the ability to influence gravity, not only myself but anything else I wish".
Kara, giggles, "So more or less you glued yourself down"?
Jill, Smiles, "Yep, that just about what I did, but now I'll be able to fly with them".
Watch Tower, "MULTIPLE BOOM TUBES, ANGELS 12"!
Looking up they see three opening and multiple figures emerging from them.
Kara, "Jill we need to get out of here and wait for JLA to get here".
Jill, "Right, drop to 3000 feet".
Dropping like rocks their speed increase, when suddenly Kara is jerked back by a very long whip, and a crackle of electricity.
Lashina, "Oh no you don't bitch, we have something to finish from our last meeting".
Granny Goodness, "Lashina bring her here"!
Lashina, "Yes Granny".
Kara, "Arh"!
Jill, "I'm coming for you Kara. Jup, Star, Comet attack".
Kara, "Arh! Jill NO run, wait for the JLA, Arh"!
Granny, "Stompa and Mad Harriet grab the little one, Parademons attack those giant lizards"!
I flew back up toward Kara, passing two female figures, grabbing her hand and teleport her out of the whip's embrace. She dropped like a stone well out of the combat area, just then I'm hit from behind, little harm just knocking me off course, I spin around and see the two I passed while saving Kara.
Stompa, "Well, well, this little one can take a hit Harry".
Mad Harriet, "Don't call me Harry, grab her"!
Stompa moves in, her arms reach for Jill.
She drops quickly and touches one of Stompa flight disk, causing it to vanish, having just one causes Stompa to suddenly fall over and down.
Stompa, "Harry save me", and down she drops.
Mad Harriet, "Don't call me Harry", but turns to go after her. Jill see her chance and makes one of Mad's disk vanish as well. Quickly Mad has both feet on her remain disk, but she has no control and just hover till Jill removes that one as well.
Kara well out of range sees Stompa falling, then Mad Harriet. There are far less Parademons around as well, the dragons had made short work of them, most were fleeing up pass Granny, then she see Jill go after Lashina.
Lashina, "Oh no you don't you little bitch", and slashes with one of her whips, just as it hits it vanishes, Lashina cannot even fathom what happen to her whip, she slashes with the second one only to see it also vanish once it hits this little bitch.
Jill is now super pissed, moving at super speed, she does the remove trick on Lashina's transportation and the third fury is also falling to earth. Looking up she see Granny on some sort of sled, granny sees her also.
Granny, "Parademons attack her"!
Jill, "Jup, Star, Comet, hit them hard, finish them"!
Jill teleport up pass the battle her pets have, "Hi granny, nice ride you have here, mind if I borrow it"?
Granny, "What?! NO! Get away from me you little witch, Get away"!
The sled vanish and down goes Granny, her cries can be heard all the way down.
From her ear piece, Manhunter, "Jill you OK"?
Jill, "Yes, I'm good, someone might what to catch Granny she should be passing Angels 3 about now".
Manhunter, "I have her, meet us on the ground, we have the other furies all wrapped up".
Jill, "On my way".
By alter-ego Synopsis:When two islands appear, it causes world wide changes as the nations unite into a global government. Welcome the Dragon Riders! |
Down on the ground she could see that the JLA had the three Furies in some really special cuffs, and Manhunter was putting another pair on Granny, Batman had small boxes in his hand.
Jill, "What are those Batman"?
Batman, "Mother boxes, we removed them from these four, they allow individuals to open gates much like your TDT gate, they call them Boom Tubes. Here, your people back home might be able to copy this and do away with the current Gate you have".
Jill, "Thanks, I'll do that". Touching her necklace the box vanished. "What about them"?
Manhunter, "We are going to open a Boom Tube here for Apokolips and send these four back to Darkseid".
Superman, "Yes, he will be very pleased to see these four after they failed to abduct Kara".
Kara, "HA, yes he will be, NOT"!
Furies and Granny, Crying, "No please we beg you don't send us back, please"! Begging.
Manhunter, "Opening the tunnel, be ready to toss them through quickly".
Superman and Kara, "Right".
'BOOM' She could see it looked just like a gate, Kara was just about to toss Granny through when suddenly two bright orange beams emerge from the tunnel striking Granny Goodness.
Batman, "Darkseid, everyone scatter".
Jill, "Granny is gone, how"?
Kara, "It Darkseid's weapon or power, its called the Omega Beam, don't let it hit you"!
A second set of beams emerges from the tunnel, this pair tracking Kara, both Superman and me yell warning, while Kara ducks, twist, spins, turns trying to avoid the attack, but it follows her like a missile. Just as its about to hit her, I blocked it, not even thinking about it, I could not let that weapon hit her. My force shield stop it, but it did knock me around a bit.
Kara, "Jill are you ok"?
Manhunter, "Let me check, she's ok".
Superman, "Good, Batman close this gate we will send the remaining Furies to a special prison they have for Supers.
Batman, "Been trying to do just that, but it seems the gate is now being control from the other side.
Superman, "Dam, Watch Tower, you better send the rest, this Boom tube is being controlled from Apokolips".
Green Arrow, "Roger, the Calvary is on its way".
Superman, "Kara, get the prisoners away from here before another attack".
Kara, "Dang it, you are just trying to get me out of the way again cousin".
Superman, "Yes I am. Now get those prisoners out of here"!
Kara, "Yes Sir".
Superman, "Jill you better get back as well. You and your pets may need the room to fight if they have to go dragon".
Jill, "Now you are just trying to get the kid out of the way as well aren't we".
Superman, "OK, you got me, just be careful".
Jill, "no worries there, I will be sure to maintain a very low profile, besides I can do more that way". Turning to her pets she give them instructions to help block further attacks.
Two more beams come flying out, again I block them, their target had been Batman who was still trying to gain control of the gate using the Mother boxes.
Jill, "I'm good, the dogs helped with that one, their force shields are a lot stronger then mine".
Twice the attacks came, while more and more JLA members kept appearing, the Watch Tower was sending them as fast as possible. Both times she and the dogs blocked those beams. The intensity of each attack was growing, something she pass on to Batman.
Batman, "Sounds like you are getting him pissed and or I'm doing something right by jamming the tunnel with these boxes, only problem I have is I'm burning up these boxes ".
Jill, "Do you need that other box back"?
Batman, "Ya better give it here, we can stall for a bit more, give our people more time to get here and to prepare".
Jill, "OK, here you go". Passes the box over, another beam attack, again she and dogs block it.
Again another attack, again they block. The intensity was off the scale on this last one.
Jill, "Batman if I was to rate these attacks on a scale of 0-10, 10 being the higher, that last one was a 11".
Batman, "Sounds like he is really pissed at us".
Darkseid, "Now how can you tell"?
Stepping from the tunnel he fires once more at Batman.
Jill, "Jup, force shield", pointing at Darkseid, she then teleports, Darkseid beams are stop cold by the shield, he increase the intensity even more trying to punch through when he see a little girl holding on to his arm. As he turns his head to look at her, her eyes glow bright orange and he is hit with a blast of Omega Beams.
Within the enclose space of Jupiter's force shield the blast of beams are even more intensify, ricocheting back at those within the shield. Still the blast shock wave radius outside causes everyone to stumble and trip. When the smoke and dust clears, Darkseid, the tube are gone and Jill is on the ground unconscious. Those closes rush to check her.
Batman, "Jill"?!
Manhunter, "She is breathing, yet there is cause for alarm".
Superman, "Oh! What is wrong"?
Manhunter, "Her eyes, look at her eyes".
Even closed they could see a bright glow behind those eyelids.
Batman, "Lets get her to medical at the tower and then we need to contact New Genesis".
Kara rushes forward.
Superman, "Kara the prisoners"?
Kara, "WonderWoman is watching them. Whats wrong with Jill, and did I hear someone say New Genesis"?
Batman, "She copied Darkseid power and turn it on him, she is unconscious and only New Genesis may be able to help now".
Superman, "Watch Tower, medical emergency", Looks and see Kara and the dogs. "Six to beam up". Bright light, they are gone.
Batman, "Watch Tower start beaming up the teams we have here, be sure to have medics on stand by to check for any injuries".
Wonder Woman, "Tower I also have three prisoners here, we need to contact the proper authorities to take the Furies off our hands.
Green Arrow, "Roger out".
Much later several members are in the medical wing of the tower. The Tower chief medical officer has little news for them.
Doctor, "There little we can do right now, her condition seems to be stable, yet I have high concerns"?
Manhunter, "Oh?
Doctor, "Well when Jill joined us weeks ago I did a full medical sweep on her and the dogs".
Superman, "Yes?"
Doctor, "Well she has gain two inches in height and fifteen pounds since that last screening? I would swear she is at least 11 years now and it may continue till this new power of her is checked".
Batman, "Grown Spurt"?
Doctor, "I don't think so, it has to be something with this power she copied".
Superman, "Watch Officer, any luck contact New Genesis"?
The Flash, "Yes, they have reply that Orion will be here shortly, Speak of the devil, Boom Tube, message incoming, its Orion".
Superman, "As soon as he is aboard send him to the medical wing".
The Flash, "Roger, Out".
Few minutes later Orion walks in, "So I hear you all had to beat Darkseid up once more"?
Manhunter, "Granny and some Furies tried to abduct Supergirl once again, they were stopped".
Batman, "Darkseid was a bit upset with them and fire Granny".
Orion raises an eye?
Superman, "We were trying to send them back to Apokolips when Darkseid attack through the tube".
Orion, "I see, and this emergency that brought me here"?
Manhunter, "Doctor would you brief Orion"?
Doctor, "Yes, one of our members was able to defend Darkseid by using his own power back at him".
Orion, "Surely you jest? You have a New God on your station for only they could have used Omega Effect on Darkseid"?
Doctor, "She is human and she needs your help, come I'll show you".
A few minutes later Orion can be heard telling the Doctor, "I need her prepared for travel ASAP, Manhunter with your permission I will need to open a Boom tube inside the station"?
Manhunter, "Tower which of the hangers is empty right now"?
The Flash, "Hangers four and six are empty".
Manhunter, "Six is larger, we'll do it there".
Kara, "I'm going to"!
Superman, "Kara"?
Kara, "No, don't try to stop me, she will need a friend there. And who is going to watch her dogs on New Genesis"?
Orion, "Dogs"?
Superman, "Her battle pets".
Orion, "Oh, I see, then Kara is it"?
Kara, "Yes".
Orion, "You better come as well".

Two weeks had gone by, Batman was the Watch Officer, Batman" Boom Tube, incoming message, Transport from New Genesis, redirecting to Hanger one".
Station Staff as well as JLA members rushed to hanger one. Once the transport landed its doors begin to open and light from the interior was blinding so at first all they saw was shadows but as the doors open further and the people started to step out you could see them even more. First out was Orion who carefully look around before giving a slight nod to those behind him. Next was Kara followed by the Highfather of Genesis, then three dogs, last was a young lady with long red hair who looked at least 13 or 14 wearing a uniform, costume with the same color as Superman's a letter J on the front.
Superman, "Jill"?
Jill, "Yes, its me. The medical folks at New Genesis were able to stop the ageing almost as soon as we arrived".
Superman, "Why the uniform change"?
Jill, "Mainly to piss off my adopted Father".
Manhunter, "Adopted Father"?
Kara, "Darkseid".
Everyone, "What! Darkseid"??
Jill, "Short version, the only way he would help me with my new power was if I became his adopted daughter".
Everyone, "Daughter"?!
Kara, "Yep you are looking at the one and only female heir to Apokolips and we will tell you all about at dinner".
Jill, "Ta Ta for now".
JLA meeting room, Orion and Highfather are briefing the senior members of JLA. Orion, "As soon as I saw what had hit her I knew the only treatment was on New Genesis".
Highfather, "Yes, your medical knowledge here would not have been able to stop her ageing, due to the Omega Effects".
Batman, "So how old is Jill now"?
Doctor, "With her current height and weight, she appears to be 13 or 14 years now. She is now 5 foot 5 inches, and 105 pounds".
Manhunter, "Will there be any more advance ageing"?
Highfather, "No that has been stopped, she will age normally for her that is, she is from some very remarkable people, they have manage to slow ageing down, once she had reach 18 years it would slow down even more".
Manhunter, "Still she lost 5 years in a day".
Orion, "True and gain a father".
Manhunter, "Orion we know of your relationship with Darkseid, you told all of us. How is it he is now her adopted father"?
Highfather, "I can best answer that, since it was I,,that sent for him to come to New Genesis, for who better to help with the Omega Effect then the one she took it from. He first refused to come and sought to have the child transfer to Apokolips, when she overheard that, her remarks were, 'Like hell I will, I sooner let him be my daddy before I would go to Apokolips', He accepted, of course I was surprised but the very next day he arrived on New Genesis and began to train Jill, or as he called her Jilseid".
Superman, "Jilseid, renaming her just as he tried with Kara and I. Are we sure she is ok? No brainwashing, no clones, she is our Jill"?
Orion, "Yes, all is well with Jill, Darkseid did not try anything on New Genesis, and she even got him to promise in writing with witnesses something you will like".
Batman. "Oh? What was that"?
Highfather, "A promise to never attack this Earth ever again, and to come to your aid should this Earth ever be attack or invaded and to leave once that help is no longer needed".
Manhunter, "And what was the cost of this deal"?
Orion, "She has to call him Daddy".
Superman, "So that was why the change in uniform".
Everyone, "Laughing".
The station open mess, Jill, Kara and dogs were all at one end of a large medal picnic table. Huge Plasma Screens were hung up at different location around the area. They had just finished watching the battle between Darkseid and Jill. Then the screen changed showing Jill, Kara and the dogs. She looks up, over head is a small drone.
Batman, "We started using them on all missions, each team sent from the Watch Tower during the last battle had one".
Stargirl, "Please tell us what happen after that battle"?
The Flash, "Ya you said at dinner time", working on his third plate.
Kara, "Well as you already know, Jill was unconscious, mainly from the Omega Effect, and it was causing her rapid growth spur".
Orion, "Yes, had you failed to contact New Genesis she would have been a young woman today".
"Highfather, "Once on New Genesis, we were able to stop this growth spur, however that did not stop the main problem".
Batman, "The Omega Effect"?
Highfather, "Correct, and the only one that was more experience with this was Darkseid".
Manhunter, "She had to be trained"?
Jill, "Yep, I had no control over the Omega Effect. The slightest bit of anger on my part would result in those near me being at risk. That why we, Kara and I, were gone so long, I could not be trusted to not damage the station or hurt someone here".
Captain Marvel, "So how was it? I mean have a villain such as Darkseid coming to your rescue"?
Jill, "It was creepee, I had read so much about him, the fiction from my world and the after action reports here, in everything I had seen he was one of the most bloodthirsty ruthless villain in all times".
Captain Marvel, "And"?
Jill, "He was the perfect gentleman".
Kara, "Ya he can slick when he wants something".
Superman, "So true".
Jill, "Oh he tried to get his way, wanting to be alone, but Orion, Kara and Highfather were always very close, and of course my dogs were even closer, they would not allow him to touch me, but that did not stop him from trying to sweet talk me".
The Atom, "So? What happen"?
Jill, "For two weeks he came to New Genesis and we talked, we walked, and we fired our Omega Beams at targets set up by other New Gods. I learned to control my temper, there will be two final tests very soon".
The Flash, "And what is those"?
Jill, "My first period in two weeks and shopping with Kara tomorrow".
Kara, "Ya she needs a bra".
Jill, "Kara"! Her eyes glow for mere fraction of a second.
Kara, "Sorry".
Jill, "See I'm a work in progress".
Everyone, "Laughing".
By alter-ego Synopsis:When two islands appear, it causes world wide changes as the nations unite into a global government. Welcome the Dragon Riders! |
Shopping with Kara had been a hold new experience, of course back home she had been shopping with her mother, but there she had no real choice and wore what Mother purchased her to wear. And getting a bra for the very first time, that was a real new feeling. She found out during the fitting she was a A cup, 34 band, the lady doing the fitting remarked that in a couple years she would be at least a 36B or C, but for her current age she was prefect. After purchasing several in basic white and black with panties she was dragged by Kara to Victoria's Secret where once more the Wayne's Banking credit/debit card took another large hit.
Then its off and running where they must have hit every teen store there in that mall. Stopping at the food court, they set their bags down and they both order fries and a coke when her 'NeGo', ( New Gods Communication Device, a gift from Highfather of New Genesis) ring tone of Darth Vader 'I Am your Father' goes off, Kara looks makes Jill smile and she mouths to her, 'Daddy', Kara nods.
Jill, answers the NeGo, "Hello Daddy".
Darkseid, "How are you daughter"?
Jill, "I'm very well Daddy".
Darkseid, "Any problems with the Omega Effect"?
Jill, "No Daddy, everything is peach-gee".
Darkseid, "Peach-gee? What is peach-gee"?
Jill, "Everything is good, no problems Daddy"
Darkseid, "May I see your face"?
Jill, "I'm in a public place, and many people still remember you Daddy from your last visit here".
Darkseid, "Very Well, perhaps later then"?
Jill, "Yes Daddy, later for sure, bye bye". Hanging up before he can reply.
Kara, "Interesting ring tone on the NeGo, from one of those 'Star War' movies you shared on New Genesis"?
Jill, "Yep Daddy wanted to talk to his daughter, part of our agreement with him".
Kara, "Good thing Highfather had that NeGo made for you".
Jill, "He also gave me two mother boxes, one is preset to New Genesis".
Kara, "And the other?"
Jill, "An extra I am taking home".
Kara, "Speaking of that, when are you leaving for the 31st century"?
Jill, "Not till after my first period, I would hate to blow something up in the 31st century just because my Midol was not working as it should".
Sometime later while back on the Watch Tower she receives another call, again the ring tune is 'I Am your Father', several people look at her and Kara says, "Its Daddy calling, so be quite while they are talking".
Jill, "Hello Daddy".
Darkseid, "Hello Jilseid, may I see your face this time"?
Jill, "No problem", Taking the NeGo, she separates it into two parts, the first she sets on the floor in front of her the second, once released, floats over her. The unit on the floor brings forth a full size 3D image of Darkseid, everyone around her is suddenly moving back, but Kara says, "He is not here, its only an image of him". Several "Oh, Scare the shit out, etc.." Darkseid hear the voices but cannot see them.
Darkseid, "Other are presents"?
Jill, "Yes Daddy".
Darkseid, "Good for they may as well hear and pass on, as since you are my daughter Jilseid you may face dangers that only I, as your Father, can prevent if all are told that if any harm comes to you I shall not only seek and destroy those responsible I shall also destroy their family, their race, their world".
Jill, "Daddy! You can't do that"!
Darkseid, "I shall, for no one can stop me from seeking revenge, but enough of this trivial matter, I have News my daughter. Our slaves have worked night and day to complete something that all shall see when they come to Apokolips".
He does something at his end and where once his statue stood alone there is now a second and it is her.
Jill turns from him, her tears of sadness cannot be seen for he would assume they were tears of joy, all she can think is how many life's were lost building that monster of her likeness. Once composed she turns back.
Jill, "Thank you Daddy, its lovey, I'm all choked up, good bye Daddy", Waving she ends the call.
Picking up the piece on the floor she puts it back together and then places a call through the NeGo to Highfather.
Jill, "Highfather, Darkseid called here, his message was that if any harm was to come to me", Highfather was talking.
Highfather, "Yes his message concerning your welfare has went out".
Jill, "He also put a new statue up on Apokolips of his daughter Jilseid".
Highfather, "It seems when you depart for the 31st Century your legacy may follow".
Jill, "Will it be good or bad"?
Highfather, "Only time can tell my dear".
Jill, "Goodbye Highfather, I shall try to speak with you once more before I leave, thank you for all your help".
Highfather, "Your welcome, be safe".
Jill hangs up, "Dam, he sure knows how to make my day feel like shit".
Kara, "Darkseid"?
Jill, "Hell Yea".
She was seeking the Toyman, He had special nanobots that he had used before and she wanted a sample to take with her. But since the word had gone out about Jilseid, it seemed that he had vanished along with every other villain around. Later on the station she ask Batman.
Jill, "Batman would it be possible for you to fine the Toyman for me"?
Batman, "I assume this is about those nanobots he made"?
Jill, "Yes, if I could get a sample to take home they could prove to be very useful".
Batman, "Give me a few days, I'll see what I can fine out for you".
Jill, "Thanks".
Days later she was told that the Toyman was in custody awaiting trial at a very special prison for Supers. Asking for and receiving permission through the JLA was OK, till she showed up at the prison. It seems that her heritage had caught up with her and the Warden was refusing her access. Calling the Watch Tower she got a few of the senior members of the JLA to come down and vouch for her.
Warden Dobbs, "I'm sorry, but I can't be to careful, but since these folks can vouch for you in person I see no harm in letting you see the Toyman, as long as one of them is with you".
Superman, "I'll go with you Jill, he is more to listen to your request with me there anyway".
Jill, "Thanks Superman".
At the visitor section she stands behind Superman. The Toyman seeing Superman strove
over and start to speak, "Superman what brings you", sees her, "Jilseid"!
Jill, "Its Jill, and I'm a friend of Superman's and I need your help".
Toyman, "Why should I help you"?
Jill, "Because you could get time off for good behavior"?
Toyman, "Ha, fat chance they let me out early".
Jill, "Or I could tell Daddy you were mean to me".
Toyman, 'gulp' "What do you want"?
Jill, "A sample of your nanobots".
Superman, "Laughing".
Days later her first period came, and did she hate the world, waking up to a bloody mess was also a fright but the other women around her made sure to take good care of her. Later, using her mother box, she went to New Genesis, Kara went with her. During her stay there even Highfather sought other locations from her while she was around. But finally the last day, the pain was gone and with hugs and apologies to all they returned to Earth, she had past her test, no one died.
Everyone knew that tomorrow was her last day, she was just returning from the Wayne warehouse, after picking up her last shipment. Arriving at the station was somewhat a surprise. No lights were on, she was standing on the pad and all was dark around her.
Jill, "Hello"?
Everyone, "Surprise"! The lights click on.
All around were banners saying farewell and good luck to her, people wearing party hats and blowing horns.
The Flash, "OK Can we now have a piece of the cake"?
By alter-ego Synopsis:When two islands appear, it causes world wide changes as the nations unite into a global government. Welcome the Dragon Riders! |
Sad times, she would miss these folks, saying goodbye had brought tears to most, the last being the Kents, she felt as if they were her grandparents and it was so hard to say goodbye to them. Down on the ground near the Kents farm, only Kara and Kal were with her and her dogs. Activating the TDT gate, she first sends her report, all those weeks here on some computer file flying across dimensions to her home world. She then send the request to calibrate for four, then turns to her friends.
Jill, "Goodbye you two, I shall miss you both very much".
First a hug on Kal, then one for Kara.
Kal, "You will always be welcome to return anytime you want".
Kara, "Ya little sister, we love you and will miss you, 'sob', be safe".
Jill, Tears in her eyes, "Thank you both, give my love to all, be safe".
Turning she enter the gate, her pets right along side her, her dragon bracelet beeps, Mother is online, seeing her face makes her wish she was going home now.
Mother, "Jill? Wow have you grown, this omega did this to you baby"?
Jill, "Yes Mother, but the New Genesis folks were able to fix it. I'm on my way for 31st Century, I'm not sure how long I'll be there, but I hope to be home soon".
Mother, "I love you baby". Puts her hand up as if to touch her image, she returns the gesture.
Jill, "I love you, see you soon". The connection is lost, they have arrived, stepping from the Gate she sees a city of the future before her, Legion Headquarters, people everywhere, moving sidewalks, flying cars!
Science Police Officer, "Do not make any sudden moves Jilseid".
Looking around she sees she is surrounded by several pairs of men and women, all in uniform and holding, what can only be weapons on her and the dogs. The dogs, immediately, take up a protective formation around her, facing out towards what they see as enemy.
Jill, Signals to her pets, 'Do nothing yet'. "I'm sorry but the name is Jill, Jill Madisome. Jilseid does not exits".
Officer, "Not according to our information, the woman known as Jilseid who took over the rulership of Apokolips after the death of Darkseid is standing right in front of us".
Suddenly a voice shouts, "And according to our information she still is a citizen of Apokolips II and a member of the embassy staff and therefore has diplomatic immunity. So I suggest you stand down unless you wish to cause an planetary conflict with Apokolips II".
Everyone turns to the voice and sees several young men and women floating above them, all wearing different color uniform, costumes. She hears several of the armed officers around her say, "The legion".
Senior officer, "Alright, stand down, Command this is Officer O'Riley , 10-12 here. All present at Legion Headquarters are to 10-19".
He then looks up at the person that spoke, "Right, I am turning this over to you Legionaries, but if we get a call about anything involving her or her pets be dash her diplomatic immunity".
Bounce Boy, "Thank you Officer".
Senior officer, "Your welcome. Alight boys and girls, party is over, return to your duties ASAP".
Several officers, "Yes sir".
As the Science Police leave, the members of the Legion begin to land in front of her. One member approaches and identify himself.
"Greeting Jill Madisome, welcome to New Metrolpolis, I'm Bounce Boy, the current leader of the Legion".
Jill, Signal her pets, 'Stand down'. "Thank you, seems Highfather was right, my legacy did follow me".
Bounce Boy, "According to the history files on Apokolips, a female warrior named Jilseid took over as the ruler after Darkseid death, her rule was well over a 500 years, till the destruction of Apokolips, her daughter taking over when Apokolips II was settled. The records saying that Jilseid left to travel the stars, but would return someday".
Jill, "So dear old Daddy could not leave it alone and had to have Jilseid on Apokolips after I left the 21st Century and the JLA to come here. If I ever see that son of".
Bounce Boy, 'clear throat'.
Jill, "Sorry".
Bounce Boy, "No problem, lets retire to the Headquarters, I'm sure you have questions as we do".
Jill, "Yes, and thank you".
Inside they all moved to a hall where before her were the seats the Legion sat in during the interviews of recruits for the Legion. In front of her were, Bounce Boy, the current leader of The Legion, Brainiac 5, the genius that made the Legion's flight ring possible, Saturn Girl, who has both telepathic and telekinetic powers, Colossal Boy, who can increase his size to many times, Triplicate Girl, who has the ability to split into three identical bodies, Lighting Lad, incredible electrical powers, Star Boy, who power over gravity were very similar to her own abilities, Timber Wolf, His powers are enhanced strength, speed and agility.
Jill, "I wish you had more members here so could complete my main mission quicker and return home. The world I come from is facing a threat that could wipe out humanity there and only because of a handful of Engineers from another dimension do we stand a chance to defeat it".
Bounce Boy, "How can we be of help"?
Saturn Girl, "She wishes to copy powers of key members of The Legion, much as she did back in the 21st Century with the JLA".
Jill, "Exactly, I also would like sample of any technology that may be of help, I am willing to part with any sample that may be of interest to you".
Brainiac 5, "What technology would you have, from your story the tech from your world and the 21st century is not something we really need here"?
Jill, "Well there is something I am sure you don't have, a 'Mother's Box'. You could learn to use that tech and build your own 'Mother's Boxes'. Having them at bases here and on other world would allow your members to instantly transport base to base".
Brainiac 5, "Yes that could be useful".
Jill, "I also have a sample of nanobots that could be adjusted for anything, once programmed they could repair or rebuild just about anything".
Brainiac 5, "And what would you want in exchange for this technology"?
Jill, "Well weapons, armor, transport, etc.. All of that would be good".
Bounce Boy, "All good and well, I am sure we can work something out, as for copying powers here, I am sure I speak for several of us when I ask, who, when and where"?
Saturn Girl, "She wishes to copy Triplicate Girl's power first, as soon as possible, here?".
By alter-ego Synopsis: ![]() |
Copying Triplicate Girl's power was easy and with her assistance I was able to split into three identical bodies, and reform as one.
Jill, "Nice, having three of me with identical powers will come in handy.
Luornu Durgo, "I wish I had powers, but it does help on missions, I can manned three positions on the Legion cruiser while the rest are out doing what they do best".
Jill, "Is there a place I can test myself here"?
Luornu, "Sure we have a training room that Brainiac 5 designed. Superboy and others have trained in it, so I think you can use it as well".
Jill, "Great"!
In the training room she once more split into three identical bodies. The first test was speed, a simple race between the three of them.
Luornu, "On your mark, Get sit, Go"!
All three reach the finish line at the same time. The next test was strength, again all three were able to complete the test. Flying was the next and all were able to do it. Next was teleportation, again all were able to teleport. The last test was her Omega Beam attack. Three targets set out, once more all three hit.
Luornu, "I would say you did very well. The only difference I can see in you is your outfit".
Jill, "Oh? 'looking at her arms, legs, "Where is that"?
Luornu, "The necklace, it does not form identical copies with three stones".
Jill, "Any mirrors here"?
Luornu, "Computo we need a full size mirror on this wall here", 'pointing near a location'.
Computo, "One full size mirror", suddenly a huge area of the wall is mirrored.
All three stepped forward to stand before the mirror next to Luornu.
Jill, (White stone) "I see, its the stones that did not copy".
Jill, (Fire stone) "Has to be due to them being from another dimension".
Jill, (Black stone) "We need to test the stones, first as we are now and when we are one".
Jill, (White) "The earrings are also different".
All three were looking at that when they heard Luornu 'giggle'.
Turning towards her all three say, "What"?
Luornu, "You are acting as if you done this all your life, I would say you will do very well".
Jill(s), 'smiles' "Thanks, now lets test the stones".
Completion of the tests in the training room, Jill and Luornu rejoin the others in the main hall, when suddenly there an alarm, Brainiac 5 follows that with an announcement.
Brainiac 5, "New Metrolpolis is under attack, the Science Police are asking The Legion for help, seems they up against an army of Super Tanks".
Bounce Boy, "Alright, I think it time we get the new toys out Brainiac for Triplicate Girl, myself and Saturn Girl, everyone else meet at the cruiser's launching bay".
Brainiac 5, "Computo, combat suits code red, Triplicate Girl, Bounce Boy, and Saturn Girl".
Computo, "Confirmed", 'A wall opens and a section slides out facing them, three open combat suits in the colors of the three heroes'.
Jill, "Let me help"?
Bounce Boy, Stepping into his suit, looks at her, looks at Luornu who gives a 'thumb up', turns to Brainiac, "Alright, Brainiac escort our guest to the launch bay, she is joining us, be sure to give her a com belt so we can talk to her if necessary".
Brainiac 5, Hands her a belt, "With this you will be able to hear and speak to any Legion member on the planet". Hands her a ring, "This is a Legion flight ring, it also protects us from the vacuum of space without a suit, not sure where this battle may end up at, better safe then sorry I always heard".
She didn't have the heart to tell him she did not need the ring, but put it on anyway.
Over the com link, Bounce Boy, "Alright folks, we been ask to help, so let do all we can to stop this attack. Those that cannot fight, your mission is to help the injury and innocent escape, those that can, hit them as hard as you can".
Jill joins everyone at the launch bay. Looking around she sees Bounce Boy, Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5, Star Boy, Triplicate Girl, Lighting Lad, Timber Wolf, Colossal Boy.
Bounce Boy, "Alright guys and gals, we have faced worst odds before with even less numbers, besides we have a secret weapon that I am sure will turns the odds in our favor", points to Jill and her pets.
Lighting Lad, "A teenage girl and three dogs our secret weapon"?
Triplicate Girl, "Oh ya you did not see what I saw in the training room, she is going to kick their butts".
Bounce Boy, "Launching, in three, two, one, GO"!
All three dogs instantly teleport, appearing in their Dragon forms blocking all incoming shots on the police while the police fire back at the tanks. At first the officers were a bit worried and even took a shot at one of the dragons, but word quickly spread and no one shot at them after that one time. Besides having a Dragon growl at you up close does get the word across.
Bounce Boy, "Jilseid left flank hit them"!!
Looking in the direction Bounce Boy had indicated, she sees approximately twenty super tanks, splitting into her three identical bodies she lifts into the air and with super speed moves at them from three directions. Jilseid (white) does the super strength attack hitting one tank head on, its heavy armor does little to stop her as she hits it center mass causing it to flip back at tanks behind it. Jilseid (fire) goes for the Omega Beam attack, there is a huge explosion as the super tank breaks up, pieces fall to the earth. Jilseid (black) touches a tank and its gone.
Bounce Boy, "Jilseid, the tank that vanished? How is that done and can you do it to a lot more"?
Jill, "Its in storage and will remained there till I remove it".
Bounce Boy, "Storage"?
Brainiac 5, "The stone is a infinity storage device I assume"?
Jill, "Yes it is, it is capable of storing a huge amount of resources or equipment".
Bounce Boy, "Can you store a bunch of tanks all at once"?
Jill, "I have to be touching them someway, a spool of high strength wire would work, I have several", suddenly at her feet are spools and spools of wire.
Bounce Boy, "Everyone that is not busy right now, grab a spool of wire and hit as many tanks as you can, meet in the center of the formation, Jilseid you are with me".
