The “story” starts off with a group of thieves who have successfully gotten through a heist and are now hiding out on a houseboat. The waves lap at the side of the boat and they laugh as they celebrate their success.
Cut to the houseboat being surrounded by a crowd of quiet people. How the hell did they get there? It is all a blur. Anyway these “people” seem quite aggravated and one of them jumps out and makes a grab for one of the thieves. Colors start to brighten and the sun is inexplicably hot. Suddenly waves of energy begin to shoot out from one of thieves’ finger tips and they toast the individual who made the grab.
Cut to a plaza, probably in New York (realistically in Toronto because we are on a budget… hah!) and we see what is left of the thieves running to the center of the plaza screaming “we need the apple! That will stop them.” A crowd of people in a single file start coming out of an alleyway and in the middle are 4 really tall women who have giant heads. It is instantly understood that they were products of genetic engineering in some evil lab in Seattle.
“You have to use the power Jack!”
But unfortunately Jack can’t seem to use his power. He needs the apple. The crowd is closing in and Jack reaches for the apple but it slips from his grasp onto the pavement and shatters. He looks up at the sea of faces in shear terror.
I wake up to the hum of my computer. It is 4 am.
I groan and fumble for my glasses. An unfinished episode of Macross Frontier is on my computer screen. The Heroes logo is half covered in an article that I was reading online.
Hey, that Heroes logo… looks like a burning hot sun. And darn it I forgot to eat the apple I brought up for supper...
