Prologue.

“This is my last day of school and I will not miss this wretched Winslow.” Taylor who was standing over Principal Blackwell at the opposite end of her table spoke calmly but condensingly to her.

Placing her hands on the Principal’s table, she started her in the brown eyes with her hazel ones, Taylor’s long black hair being blown backwards by the wind coming from the window behind Principal Blackwell’s brown chair.

Watching the Principal attempt to open her mouth to say something, she interjected, cutting her off. “Do not bother to say what you want to. Just keep it to yourself. No matter what you do, I will be able to quit anyway. Even if you do not hand in the form, there are friends who will ensure that you do so and trust me you will not like the consequences.”

To show she meant business, Taylor used her new found powers to left Principal Blackwell’s desk off her table. “Nobody will believe you even if you told them this. My powers are far stronger than that of any parahuman.” To confirm this, she used her dark powers to make the Principal of Winslow walk up and down like a puppet.

Feeling afraid, Pricipal Blackwell agreed you hand in the form.

Knowing she was going to get corporation, Taylor smirked knowingly. “I knew you would say yes. I expect to be transferred to Arcadia by tomorrow. Show them my qualifications which are in this file.”

Opening her school bag, Taylor handed Principal Blackwell, now shivering with fear after seeing her powers, her green file filled with ten pages of a form. “All you need to is sign the back of the form.”

Taking the file from her hand, slowly but reluctantly opening up the file, the principal of Winslow High School took out the form, not bothering to read it from page to page sign it’s last page.

“Thank you. It was nice knowing you.” Smiling as soon as the form had been signed, placed back in the file, and handed back to her. Using her powers, Taylor made her green file vanish to Arcadia High School. “My new school tomorrow.”

Walking out of Principal Blackwell’s office, she spotted some of Emma’s lackeys chatting away with each other. Although she did not pay attention to what they were talking about, they were looking her way, obviously talking about her. Not like she cares anyway as her trip to planet Diamond made them no longer relevant to her.

Walking down the stairs and towards the cafeteria, she noticed her three new friends from the parallel earth confronting the Winslow’s Trio. Avery was facing off Emma, Lucy was facing off Sophia, and Verona was facing off Madison.

Sitting down at a nearby table, opening her back, and taking out her lunch case, Taylor ate her food while watching her new friends face off her bullies.

“Watch what you say. I am the one who runs this school. Knowyour place.” Emma was clearly irritated by the fact Avery was able to take her every insult without losing her cool yet speaking in a passive aggressive smart ass tone to tick the red head off.

Lucy on the other hand had a brawl with Sophia Hess when the latter attempted to step in and attack Verona whom had used her powers to put Madison to sleep before drawing on her face with her new fountain pen.

The fight ended with Sophia exposing her identity as a parahuman. Lucy on the other hand used her powers to imprison Sophia Hess, stopping her from getting away despite incurring a few bruises on her face. Walking up to a frozen Sophia Hess, she forced her to expose everything she did to Taylor.

The boys surrounding the Winslow Trio were too mortified by the incident to do anything be it intervening or reporting the incident.


Taking a picture of her, after uploading YouTube her confessions, Verona smirked at a frozen Madison. “Say cheese!”



“Let’s go girls. Leave they are not relevant to us. They are stuck in their own little world.” Taylor called out to her friends as soon as she had finished her lunch despite clearly having fun watching them use their powers on the Winslow Trio.

Leading the way out of the cafeteria, the whole school looked upon Taylor and the Kennet Trio as no one had ever put the Winslow Trio in their place before.

In the park, sitting on the bench together, from left to right, Taylor, Verona, Lucy, and Avery were sitting together enjoying the cool wind blowing in their faces, the birds nesting in the trees, and the flowers blooming from among the grasses in the park.

“Remember planet Diamond?” Avery blurted out her thoughts to her friends.

“The planet with cyan grass and tress. Yeah we know.” Verona countered.

“Earth’s gravity feels much lighter and we are able to move faster than even a cheetah can run. That planet has given us good exercise.” Lucy chuckled as soon as the leader of the Kennet had finished speaking, placing her arms around Verona and Avery respectively.

Taylor observing this felt she was like an outsider among her new friends especially after listening to them move away from the topic about stuff on Earth Bet and speak about things back on the parallel earth. She was somehow worried that they would go back to their own earths permanently never coming back to the planet she lives in.

Day after day, she expected them never to come back but they always did every morning. Yet every time she met them, she her friends always talked about the Kennet, making Taylor curious. Unable to contain her feelings anymore, she blurted out her thoughts attempting to be a part of the conversation. “What is it like in the Kennet? You girls are talking about something I do not know about.”

“The Kennet is a place where a lot of magic happens. It is so different from Brockton Bay, we will take you there some day. Don’t worry Taylor, you will always be our friend. Just ask us if you need anything.” Verona whom notice that Taylor was curious and listening intently to them.

Chapter 1: The Owls In Arcadia.

Taylor never went to Arcadia in the next few days as she expected because of the attack from the Leviathan which caused massive damage to Brockton Bay, killing many of the parahumans. This was a fight she did not participate in as she had gone to visit the parallel earth with the Kennet Trio at that time.

Despite attempting to make her home in the parallel earth and the Kennet, staying in Blue Heron’s institute with Verona, knowing she does not need to worry about her father, whom she teleported to Earth Alpha using her powers from Green Light Bearer, the endbringer Simurgh, brought her back to Earth Bet using her teleportation powers while she was hanging out in a random restaurant with her friends in the Kennet.


Arriving to her new school only after the city was repaired, she waited for the school to give her the go to enter. The School was way more established than Winslow High School and there were security guards at the entrance.

Not interested in getting to know the Wards as she has lost trust in the PRT especially after Lucy exposed Sophia Hess as not only a parahuman but a member of the Wards during her last day in the now destroyed Winslow.

Walking towards the lockers briefly made her cringe as she remembered the day she was shoved into the locker back in Winslow. Reminding herself that Arcadia is not Winslow, and has powers to teleport herself in and out whenever she wants to, she slowly approached the locker, opening it, and placing some of her books inside.

Breathing a sigh of relief, she walked around the school hall which was wide and clean. There were no gang fights here unlike Winslow. Yet she never has to worry about the ABB as they have been disbanded and the E88 has also been taken out after Kaiser, Stormtiger, and Hookwolf have been killed off by the Leviathan. Taylor knee this because she frequently reads the newspaper and watches the news.

Searching for the library, she had to walk pass the cafeteria which was similar in its structure to Arcadia except that it is better maintained and organised. Deciding to have order a hot dog for breakfast, she had to line up.

It took a while for her to notice a blonde almost as tall as her standing in front of her. She was wearing an emerald green dress with flowers.

Taylor’s mind had been elsewhere for the past ten minutes. Observing the blonde closely, she noticed that the person standing in front of her is no other than Glory Girl, as a young male cashier, attempting to flirt with her called out her name the moment the blonde ordered a hot cross bun. “Good morning Glory Girl. You have lovely eyes of the ocean.”

Ignoring his flirts, the blonde just gave him the money after she receive her order. “You may just call me Victoria.” Releasing a strange aura intimidating the cashier before walking off.

Taylor proceeded to order her hot dog, tapping the counter to get the cashier’s attention before heading to the library.

“Fancy seeing you here.” Avery who was sitting on a round table in the centre of the library greeted her.

“Isn’t it obvious that the library is my favourite spot. You have known me long enough to know that.” Frowning at the strawberry blonde with a pony tail, Taylor took a seat on the empty chair at the round table, making herself comfortable.

“I was just being cheeky.” Avery giggled placing her right hand over her mouth. “Anyway, since Earth bet has become our permenant home, we have decided to transfer ourselves to Arcadia High School. Most of my family has been killed except for my youngest sister who is in the orphanage.”

“I am sorry to hear that, Avery.” Showing genuine empathy, Taylor moved herself and her chair closer to her friend before placing her left arm around her.

“It is not your fault, Taylor. Things happen. What matters is my sister gets the education she needs. She is going to be attending Arcadia Primary School soon.” Turning to Taylor and smiling weakly, Avery looked into her hazel eyes with her misty green ones.

“Where is Verona and Lucy?”

“I am not really sure. We have decided to attend different classes in order to give ourselves room to make new friends. In spite of this, we promise that we will be friends forever. They will be expecting us during lunch break in the cafeteria. In fact they both sent me to the library to invite you to join us. Don’t think we will ever forget about you. You are a loyal friend and we knew it ever since we met you at planet Diamond.”

“Thanks Avery. I might not seem so trusting at times but it is because of betrayal from my former best friend, Emma.”

“You never have to worry about being betrayed ever again.”

The conversation between Taylor and Avery were interrupted when the television was turned on and a reporter came on screen. “I would like to announce a solemn news. Scion has decided to attack us earlier than expected. This news is confirmed by both Dinah Alcott and Dragon, the precog and most powerful thinker in the Wards. All humanity have two years to prepare themselves to leave Brockton Bay and all parahumans are expected to prepare for battle once more.”

“Looks like we have another battle ahead of us.” Taylor whose eyes is now glued to the television while conversing with Avery.

“I wonder what has happened to Isbjorn Daelander and his crew.”

“You mean the weirdo we met at planet Diamond, there he is.” As soon as Taylor finished the word ‘planet Diamond,’ Isbjorn appeared on the news, his hands tied behind his back by Greg Veder. “When did Greg Veder get this strong?”

“Everybody, Scion is nothing, the Three Creators is sending male blue ice bears to destroy the universe. Even the weakest of these male blue ice bears are stronger than the golden man himself.” The tall middle age blond hair blue eyed man spoke out before Greg Veder made a pale green and black sword appear in his hand a cut off Isbjorn’s head.

“I am sorry for the interruption. This crazy man has been causing a scene in Earth Alpha and I have to get rid of him.” Turning into a bright green dragon, Greg Veder blew acid upon the dead body and head of Isbjorn before flying off. “I have dealt with the rest of the crew on Earth Alpha. I brought this man here as a warning not to strike fear in the hearts of the rest.”

Lunch time at the Cafeteria, Taylor was sitting with her friends from the Kennet. “Have all of you decided a name for our team ?”

“I believe we should call ourselves Team Little Owl. The reason for this name is made in memory of my father who used to call me ‘Little Owl.’ Besides, we can all turn into owls.” Taylor smirked before she pointed at her friends. “Does anyone want to object before I make the decision. Going once, going twice. Team Little Owl it is then.”

Chapter 2: A reunion.

“Hi there girls. Greetings to you, Taylor.” Greg Veder, whom had also join Arcadia High School did not sound like himself. Far from being the socially awkward boy with a bowl shape hair cut, his hair style had change looking much cooler, almost like that of a certain celebrity.

Standing beside his was the much taller sparky. Still a man of few words but instead of looking like the ‘leftover’ which Taylor once knew, he looked like a Hispanic warrior.

Greg was wearing all all green t shirt and pants. Even his eyes seem to be green rather than blue. Taylor at some point thought she noticed pale green aura around him reminding her of Green Light Bearer whom she encountered on planet Diamond.

“Do you miss me, Taylor. Sitting in the library the whole day with your friends on this round table must be boring. Let me show you something fun.” Using his powers which were similar to the entity Taylor and her friends received their powers from, the books on the round table when back to place and their assignment was completed just like that. “End if homework and assignment. Let’s create some chaos.”

“Why did you kill Isbjorn Daelander. He did nothing wrong! And where did you get your powers from?!” Taylor stood up from her desk along with the Kennet Trio, who promised to always have her back.

“I am now inhabited by Green Light Bearer. Sparky has become my full time assistant. You four would be best of bowing to me”.

Hearing these words from Greg made them bow. “How can we serve you again ?!”

“If you have heard me the first time, we are going to make some chaos. I will pretend to be the hero and the whole world will bow down to me.” Glowing bright green while surrounded with dark aura as he chuckled, Greg manage to instil fear in Taylor and her friends. “Don’t worry. Nobody will notice us as we are in a different dimension.”

Looking around, Taylor saw the people, some of them from the New Wave, walking by without paying attention, concluding that she is in a different dimension.

Sparky in the meantime did not say much but he glowed bright green from time to time.

“Where are we going ?” Avery broke the long silence and tension.

“We can do whatever we want but firstly, I would like to show you guys something.” Walking up to Victoria Dallon who was sitting with her cousin Crystal and Eric, he casually approached her saying, “Good day, my lady, it is lovely to finally meet you, Glory Girl. You are just as pretty as I expected.”

Taylor looked on in shock as Greg Veder gently took her by the right hand, bringing it towards his lips, gently planting a kiss. She noticed Chrystal looking on in envy. Even Shielder had the envious look on his face, almost as if he was saying, “I wish I had half the charisma of that boy.”

“Care to give me your number? I lost mine.” Greg grinned the most charming grin, Taylor had never saw before.

“I already have a boyfriend.” Clearly feeling flattered and despite feeling attracted to Greg, Glory Girl was weakly trying time resist him.

“Dean? Or shall I say Gallant?” Knowing his has a way in, the blond haired boy continued gently pushing his way in. “Don’t you forget, I save him from the Leviathan. Yes it was me who stop the endbringer with my powers. Scion might have done the killing but he did not rescue anyone. I was the one who prevented any death from happening. It is alright, you will choose me soon.”

Walking away from Glory Girl and towards Taylor and her friends who were standing behind Sparky, he led the way out of the library.

“Is that really you, Greg?” Taylor asked as she clearly did not recognise him.

He responded back to her casually. “I am Greg but I am also the Pale Gree Knight and the embodiment of Green Light Bearer. Sparky is my assistant and second in charge.”

“So where are we going now? I know you said we are going to cause havock but everything seems to be put in order. The behemoth is gone, leviathan is gone, and Simurgh is nowhere to be found. Where exactly are we going?” Taylor had grown impatient by then. She had been listening to Greg chatting up Glory Girl for one hour and she finally had it. Yet she did not do anything knowing that inside him was the entity whom had given her his very powers.

“It is easy. With most of the Slaughter House Nine dead except for Jack Slash who is going to convine Scion to end life on earth. If we can convince him to attack earlier, it is going to be our day of fame but how are we going to do so?” Scratching his head looking like he was deep in thought, Greg began to think throughly. “Does anyone have any suggestions.”

“You could simply turn into a bright green dragon and fly to Scion’s world. Easier still, you can teleport yourself there.” Lucy suggested.

“That sounds like a good suggestion. However, there is one thing wrong. I am planning to attack Scion myself. If we attack him after persuading him to attack the earth, that will be the end of my chance to rule the earth and others will see through it. Scion might not be the best in keeping secrets.” Smirking Greg turned to Taylor and her friends before turning to Sparky. “What do you all propose ?”

“I suggest we use Simurgh to bait him. You have these dark powers that enable you to control most like puppets. Or we can get her on our side, and use her telekenesis and teleportation skills to bring Scion here.” Avery suggested. She might not have been born on Earth Bet but she surely knows a lot.

“Avery is right.” Verona whom had been listening to the conversation while keeping mum most of the time finally spoke up. “Simurgh might be physically weaker than both Leviathan and Behemoth but she does have more telekenesis powers than her two brothers.”
