The Protection Division

This is a clandestine task force of specially trained soldiers and metahumans, ranging from a heightened soldier to an alien life form that arrived from space.

The PD began when the Prathers (Hellen, Donna, and Eric) were thrust into a war for their family's survival against the tyrannical government. Since the late 80s, America had been ruled with an iron fist, forcing citizens to obey or die.
If anyone rebelled, they wore a mask as protection for the rebels families.
Many rebelled, but the fated gathering of the Prathers and a former dataDyne Shock Trooper, Leather, formed together to end the rule.

The story begins.

Eric Prather..a normal kid at first, but the years as a PD agent has evolved him through trial and many errors.

"Right now...to gather all the old files on the past...it's just too much. Not including the fact that our own files are so scattered...so fractured..it really isn't necessary to fill out this form with the past. We know the past. That's enough for us, and we'll contain our past in memory and the files we do have on it. We seeked out this forum to be a sister to the Fictional Omniverse (etc) groups on Facebook. Everything is private."

Leather typed these words into a blank page of Microsoft Word. It was a rough day for the PD Captain; not only showing the ropes to the rookie members but keeping the old members, his closest friends, in high moral.
Eight months today it's been, since the Mad Titan snapped his fingers and caused the death of half the universes population.
As if the team hasn't lost enough...with the Fall of the Citadel in 2015 and then Atlantis' destruction last year..
More than enough loss.

"The PD has a long history.." Leather typed in, "a history that reaches throughout the Omniverse, but we were street level in the beginning. The moment we dabbled in time travel and other world's, I knew we'd fall into some crap."

"When Capsule Corp, Hellen's family company, produced age pills and Eric was a 40 year old when he was still a teenager..I knew, wild times were coming. But I'm getting into the history.. I'm only going to start the recording for the beginning of the year. January 2018. That should be good. The gaps will be covered in time.. Remember we started in the late 90s. There is A LOT to record."

Jan 2018

"Move!" yelled Eric Prather, an energy blast exploding into the concrete; the blast causing a shockwave that picks up Eric and Barb Woods off their feet and hitting the ground. They use each other to stand up, firing their guns at the undead as they come.
The blast killed several of the undead, yet more and more just kept coming. Eric W. dived to avoid a swing from two undead; they stopped, dropped down on top of him, surprising the young fighter. He rolled, kicked an undead persons knee inward to drop him. Eric rolled to a stand up position. The adrenaline carrying him. Eric tucked low, firing a bullet through another undead persons forehead.
Hellen and Donna Myspace assisted their other halves in fighting as Eric Prater steamrolled through the undead. He paused, realizing his family is far back, surrounded by the horde. Eric broke through the ring of undead, slaughtering Nomead minions one after another.
Fear slowly entered Eric Woods' mind; the safety of his family and being with Gabby again. Will he ever be able to see her? Talk to her again??
A fire grew inside Mr. Woods, a spark of inhuman ability festered. He released energy that burned everything around him.
Barb and Donna looked with surprise as Eric Prather nodded, realizing his cousin's true potential.

"This what you wanted?" asked Hellen.
"Only to see if it was true..." answered Eric P. "The power within him is real..." he added with conviction.
"And there is something else you know?" asked Donna.
"It's a concern..." Eric nodded.
Donna and Hellen did express concern, yet only briefly as there are a multitude of undead. They return to the fight...
Donna, Hellen and Eric Prather block the creatures from reaching their family...the Woods shoot down the undead.
Suddenly the Undead stopped. Not one of them moved, staying stiff as if frozen. Nomead revealed himself.

"Where's the base?" asked Eric.

"So you can save your clone? Have you not seen Eliecer amongst the Dead yet?"

Eric smirked. "Why must demons obviously lie?"

"Your trip was a waste, but I guess I can kill you here and now.." the demon said, vanishing and appearing in front of Eric at light speed. He struck Eric with a back hand, sending the Prather flying.

Hellen and Donna fought Nomead.

The Woods watched, feeling helpless. Feeling lost with every pound their family deals in.
Nomead slams Donna into Eric with enough Force, they can hear one of Eric's bones break. He quenches in pain as he crashes into the concrete.
Someone walks up to Eric Woods'. Vaguely similar in appearance, like both Eric's, Eric Woods' realizes this must be Eliecer...yet different. He was changed with red glowing eyes and a darkness that shows in black energy.

"Eliecer??" asked Eric.
The clone tilted his head, barely acknowledging a friend's presence.
Barb and Donna try to gain Eric's attention, to pull him away from the dark Eliecer...however he would not have it. Eliecer knocked out Donna and grabbed Barb. He took to the sky with her and as soon as he reached a hundred feet...he dropped her.
Barb fell. Eric screamed.
As she free falls, time slowed down...until Hellen flew fast enough to catch Barb.

Nomead freezes the Woods family with a wave of his hand and impales Donna with a wooden spear through the gut.

"No!," yelled Hellen, safely leaving Barb Frozen on the grass; she rushes over to check on her sister. Eric, full of rage, Spears Nomead. They trade punches, climbing the skyways, gaining alpitude.
Nomead snarled. "Tired of me yet?"
Eliecer charged for Hellen, while also trying to destroy the Woods by breaking their frozen bodies. Hellen defended the Woods and her own sister.
Eric fired an energy beam with enough strength to surprise Nomead, pushing him backward.

"Very good," Nomead said, holding the blast steady.
"Your powers are steadily returning to what it was."
Eric held on as he can feel the demon push it back.
"Nothing can beat me. Not even Jesus Christ."

Eric gritted his teeth, feeling the truth in his words.
"Nothing," Nomead repeated, his demonic bat-like wings extending out of his back. That somehow had a charge in the deflection as suddenly Eric could not hold back the energy. His own energy is coming back to him as an enemy. The energy hits, knocking Eric back and down. "ow," he said on his back, looking up to the grey sky.

Donna pulls the spear out of her stomach, taking time to heal while her sister fights Eliecer.
Donna crawls over to her frozen family, working on a spell to unfreeze them.
Undoing Nomead's work might be pricey, it it's possible.
Hellen hits the ground only ten feet from Donna. Eliecer comes down and pushes Hellen through the dirt. Hellen fires an energy beam, taking him out of the hole. Hellen climbs her way up. Once Hellen's out, she's happy to see Donna alive.
"How are negotiations with Eliecer?" asked Donna.

"Eh, he's not having it," said Hellen, glancing over to see Eric fight Nomead, handling himself fine.
"We need you to unfreeze our family and get them out," said Hellen.
"No, I can help," said Donna.
"I need you to do this. This is a different situation. More prep time is needed to shut this down," said Hellen.
Donna nodded. "Fine," said Donna, no argument.
Donna worked on a spell, Hellen confronted Eliecer, searching for a crack to wake him up.

"You will burn, Eric. That is your fate, I promise you." said Nomead, stepping on Eric's chest. Nomead lit up Eric's arms and legs, searing the flesh.
Eric twisted Nomead's foot, lifting the demon off. He rolled out and jumped up, blasting the demon with an energy beam.

Hellen formed a strap out of energy, wielding it like Wonder Woman's lasso. She ropes up Eliecer, hurling him into Nomead. They spin through the air, twisting their bodies on impact. Hellen and Eric stand together, facing down Nomead and Eliecer.
"Kill your former master. I'll deal with the woman." Nomead ordered.
"You overestimate yourself." said Hellen.
"Did I not destroy half your people and history?" Nomead gloated.
"Memory is a powerful weapon," answered Hellen, engaging Nomead in combat with the makeshift lasso, techniques Hellen learned from the Amazons.
"It can also be a weakness." said Nomead, grabbing part of the rope. Hellen jerked it, the rope becoming taut. Nomead pulled back, using his leg to wrap the rope around his thigh to knock Hellen down. Hellen disintegrated the energy that made the rope, rolling on the ground to avoid Nomead's charge. Hellen blocked and pivoted.

Eric tried convincing himself that this isn't Eliecer. This Eliecer isn't the real deal..but Eric knows it to be true. Eric only hoped for a way that it isn't Eliecer, that maybe Nomead cloned him or something.
"I don't want to kill you."
"You won't," said Eliecer coldly, his red eyes giving no expression of emotion.
Eric charged his energies, fist clenching beside his hips. Eyes closed as if saying a prayer, Eric fought back regrets and emotions, a tender reminder of so much that they have lost. This moment in particular reminds Eric of the Chaos Clone created by Luthor and Eric's late brother, Harry, in GlobalTech.
"Sentiments. Makes one weak." said Eliecer.
Eric moved up his head, eyes opening to reveal a yellow glow. "Not this one."
