Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was just the two of them again for dinner, a meager meal of spaghetti and Ragu sauce. It had been almost two months already since their mother had entered the hospital and their father was often working late at the lab, working on who knows what.

Whatever it was, it was important enough that they needed to pick up their lives and move to this nowhere city. When they were younger, the boys were always curious of what their father was up to, making up stories of alien dissections and spidermen. But as they grew older, the twins learned to stay out of their old man's business, that is until about two weeks before

(Flashback)

"You're going down Alex!" Shawn shouted as he swung his Wii remote, causing Link to attack Samus.

"You're gonna pay for that!" but before Alex had any time to react, the sound of the garage door opening interrupted, "What's Dad doing home so early?"

"I don't know, let's check it out," the identical boy responded, putting their game on pause. Silently the boys pried open the door, just enough to spot their father open the door, a silver briefcase in his hand.

"Hey boys, just stepping in for a sec. I'll be back late." the man spent the next half hour scrambling around the lower floor, taking drinks of water, a short bathroom break, alittle tv before he left. Once again the boys watched as the man left the house, noticing immediately that the suitcase was no longer in his possession.

Without even a word, it was understood between them that they would be giving into their curiosity and a few minutes later, the twins found themselves in their father's study. Alex was the first to grab the suitcase, immediately spinning the built in lock as his brother pressed his ear to listen for the click.

It was ten minutes before at last the twins managed to pry open the case. Inside were five vials, each filled with an identical purple liquid. Without thinking, Shawn grabbed at one of the vials and walked over to one of his father's chairs, the sunlight warming it through the window, "I wonder what this is."

"Only one way to find out," Alex proclaimed from his spot in the shadows.

"I can't get it open, why don't you try," Shawn said after a few attempts to remove the cork.

Alex immediately dug his nails into the cork, but he to seemed to have little luck. He pulled and pulled, but the cork did not seem to want to budge until the teen was just about to give up. Suddenly, the cap was released and the sudden change of force cause the liquid to pour out, spraying over the two boys, "s**t, this can't be good."

Shawn's head immediately turned to now wet spot on his hand. At first nothing seemed to happen, but suddenly, smoke seemed to come off the liquid, the sunlight evaporating it into the air. Quickly the purple spots shrank, leaving behind spots of light shining on his skin, "Alex!" the boy yelled as the spots began to grow, slowly taking over his body. However when he turned to his brother, it would seem he was having problems of his own. Identical black splotches were spreading across his panicking body and soon the two were entirely engulfed. A bright flash of light came from the twin in the chair then suddenly, they were back to normal, no light or shadow to be seen.

"What was that?"

"I'm not sure."

"Aw but i like riding shotgun." Corey said in a sarcastic sad voice and began moving to the back of the car and then layed down in the back seat raising his hand in the air and the dirt and mud slowly started to rise form the seat and floor morphing into little balls and flying onto Corey's arm. "Soooo whats with the light show Frenchy you like me and our friend out thar?" Corey said stretching and pointing to Jack.

"Yes sir!" Corey said saluting Jack and looking out the back of the car his eyes turning a dark brow and raised his hands slowly and trembling and a wall of earth was slowly rising out of the ground around 5ft thick Corey then started to hum Buffalo Soldier.

((bump))

"Oh well our buddy Jack over here." Corey started nodding towards Jack "Thought it would be funny to rob a bank, so i tried to see if i could stop him but instead we decided to split the cash and smoke a bit." Corey turned around seeing a single cop car after them "Be right back mates." Corey said with a smile and his body began to wither away into dirt and flew out a open window flying into the back seat of the Police cruiser and then reforming himself there ''Ello mates wonderful night for a chase isn't it?" Corey said quite loud to the cops and mad their heads spin around.
"B-but how did you..." one of the Officers began.
"How did i get here?" Corey said smiling then leaned in facing the cops "Thats for me to know and for you to find out." Corey said smiling as he lifted his hand up trapping rock into the tires blowing them out and jamming them. "Well later mates!" Corey said turning into dirt and flying out the window towards Beau's car and reforming in the back seat "Now where were we?"
