Recommended Posts

Hello. My name is Terraxaqua34. I am here to introduce you readers to a new story I am creating and would love the feedback as I need to test in the general audience. After this little introduction and the synopsis of the series, I'll get right to it. I am currently in the mists of creating a television show and need to have you guys read the episodes and give feedback on the story and character development. If this isn't you type of story/shows, then by on means go if you please, but I thank you for your time for reading.

 

8 years ago, Seth Marks father, Richard Marks, disappeared without a trace while Seth was 9 years old. Now he is 17 years old and is a high school senior. His mother died at childbirth, leaving only him and his father. He was adopted into his friends household, Alex Smith. All was going good for Seth in his final year of high school until a few strangers threw chemicals onto him while he was walking home alone after school. 3 Months later, Seth woke up normal until he learned he had gained the power to harness the elements. Fire, Wind, Earth, and Lightning. With these powers, he has decided to use them to protect the ones he cares for. The only struggle is the secret he has to keep from his love interest, Rachael Gonzales. Now as he starts his crusade to becoming a hero, he will soon encounter fearless police officer Walter Wells, the mysterious Dr.Sebastian at his high school who seems to know something, and the army like gang the Dark riders, while encountering people who have similar powers. 

 

 

-episode 1: Pilot-

 

-8 years ago-

The chill of the night was freezing and cold. Cop sirens were heard in the distant as we see a young Seth standing in front of his childhood house. He had just been dropped off by Alex's parents, only to discover that the door was swung open with the house inside a mess, almost as if someone had just had a struggle or attempted to rob the house. Seth's father was no where to be found. No trace of him as all his belongings, car, and personal items were all at the house. Seth's father, Richard, has now gone missing.

- present day-

Seth awoken with a gasp. This is was the third night in the row he had a nightmare about his past. It's only been a week since he awaken from the coma due to the chemicals being thrown upon him. Everyone was happy to see him well. Physical, Seth was healthy, but mentally, he was still ill. Seth took the blankets off. He stood in the mirror to look at himself. He was 5.9 inches, white skin, his brown hair a mess that came to his chin line, his hazel eyes, his slim tone body, he didn't get fat, or gotten fit, never saw the reason for it. He looked down at his chest. The splash scar. The scar was created due to the acid trying to eat at his skin. He shook his head as he turned to get ready for school. This was the first day. The day he returned. He didn't like it. So he just simply took a white shirt and blue jeans. He did his morning routines and started going downstairs. That's where he saw Alex waiting for him. His brown skin, black short hair, blue eyes, backpack around his right shoulder, blue shirt, black jeans, and car keys in hand.

 

'' Look who's ready for school.'' Alex said with laughter in his voice.

 

'' You know Alex, I sometimes wish you took things seriously.'' Seth complained as he grabbed the bag that was on the floor Alex prepared for him. Seth looked around. Alex's parents were always at work, so he and Seth had the house to themselves.'' I'm a little nervous about returning to school'' Alex said with a little whimper in his voice. Alex patted his back as they got into his car, a 2015 black ford focus and drove on the suburban streets of Chicago. They soon arrived at the their high school. Lake View High School. 

 

'' You guys!'' a yell came from the parking lot as Alex parked. Seth got out first and noticed her. Rachael. Her long brown waving hair, tan skin, black T-shirt, blue jeans, and a pulse around his shoulder. Seth smiled. He had not seen her in forever and was soon embraced by a hug.'' I've missed you.'' she quietly said. She quickly got off.'' It's been boring with just Alex you know.''

 

'' Yea, sorry, I'll try and be more present I guess'' Seth rubbed the back of his head. Alex patted his back.'' Lets go guys, we have class starting.'' Alex said as the three friends started walking to the front entrance of the school. The hallways were crowded as usual. Everyone has heard of Seth's accident and were welcoming him back. But something was strange for him. He felt something he couldn't feel before. Then came math class, college algebra. Seth sat in the desk and listened to the his teacher teach. He then tapped his foot on the ground. He felt something. He shook his head.

 

'' What is this?'' he thought to himself. He became rubbing his hands a bit but they suddenly grew a little too hot. Seth eyes widened and looked around. Was this just him being crazy? He then heard something wisp by his ear, it was a paper ball. It wasn't the ball he heard, it was the wind. He focused his eye sight and saw something transparent. He shook his head and touched his metal portion of his desk. He felt a shook. He also felt it wet.'' Um, may I be excused to the restroom?'' Seth said randomly as he the teacher allowed him to. Seth rushed to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He was sweating and out of breathe.'' What is happening to me?'' Seth questioned as he touched the sink but the water came out uncontrollable. He backed up and stepped on a tile but his foot sank into it. His eyes widen and the stall doors flew open. The lights went out and a fire started on the blow dryer. Seth quickly ran out of the bathroom. He couldn't figure what was happening but left back to his classroom.

 

-later in the school day-

 Seth was shaking as he walked to lunch. He couldn't wait to tell Alex what had just happen to him earlier. He then bumped into Dr.Sebastian. He was our the age of 38, he had a little wrinkles in his face. He had white skin, with semi-long black hair, glasses, collared white polo with a black tie and brown khakis. He held this presence that made kids not question his authority.

 

'' in a hurry Mr.Marks?'' he asked with a little angry tone. Seth stared at him.'' Um, no sir, just making my way to lunch.'' Seth calmly said. The doctor just rolled his eyes and adjusted his glasses.'' You know Mr.Marks, that shaking should be checked out.'' he said as he walked away. Seth shook the feeling he had acquired and went to lunch. He found Rachael and Alex eating at a table when Seth sat with them.

 

'' Welcome. Glad you were able to make it to lunch.'' Rachael said with glee. Her smile made Seth's thought vanish.'' Today they were serving hamburgers and fries, hope your still able to get some.'' she offered.'' No thank you, I don't feel hungry'' Seth said as he felt sick a little.'' Well, we do have gym next, so you better be ready then.'' Alex said. Seth sighed. He hated gym but it was his last class so he just have to endure it. The bell rung. It was time.

 

They soon were in the gym. It's basketball court, benches, and gym materials all over. Seth stood in it's uniform. Grey shirt with blue shorts. This was the only class Alex and Rachael had him with. He felt glad they were here. The coach soon approached the front of the gym. He blew his whistle.

 

'' Attention. We shall have a free day due to Seth returning to school. Enjoy.'' He said as he sat down at a table and began reading a magazine. Everyone began doing something. Rachael was playing basketball and Alex was talking to people. Seth just stood there trying to figure something out.'' I guess I'll join Alex. Hey Alex can-'' Seth was then interrupted as the gyms wall suddenly exploded. Seth flew forward and landed on the ground and slide away a bit. He had a bloody nose. Other kids were the same. Smoke filled the room. He couldn't really see anyone as his ears rung and vision. That's when he saw them. Three men walked in shaded in black. One carried a rocket launcher and the other two full automatic weapons. 

 

'' Find him. He's here.'' the middle one said as he fired a few rounds in the air. Seth started to crawl away. His chest hurt and felt some glass in his back. A scream was then heard. Seth looked up as his vision finally focused. They had Rachael. Blood ran down her face as she must have hit her head due to the explosion.'' You know who you are! Face us or the girl gets it!'' the man said holding her as the second one pointed the gun at her. That's when Seth lost it because his vision went black. He stood up. The men noticed him and aimed at him. Seth was too quick as he moved his hands and pushed Rachael away using the wind. Rachael, passing out from the trauma, hadn't witnessed this. The smoke still covered others from Seth. The men adjusted their aim as Seth then stomped on the ground. Causing the earth to rocked towards them. They were throw into the sky. He then used water to wash one away outside and and a fire explosion to send one back. The one man left then shot Seth in the leg. Seth winced in the pain, but bought his hand down and lightning came then the ceiling and struck the man. Seth panted and collapsed on the ground passing out as sirens were heard.

 

- later- 

It was across the news. The Night Riders attack on the school. No one was killed but one of the attackers. Reports were trying to figure out how lightning stuck him. The other two were captured. They refused to talk. Seth laid in the hospital bed, once again. He was getting leg treated. He then saw a police officer walk in. He had a brown coat on, blue polo shirt with a black tie, and blue jeans. He also wore a badge as a necklace. He was black skin, green eyes, and buzz cut hair.

 

'' Good evening Mr.Marks. My name is Detective Wells, but you can call me Walter. Can you tell me what happened?'' he asked. Seth looked up as his leg was still in pain.'' You see, all I remember is that the wall exploded and I flew back, Then everything went black. I don't remember anything after that.'' Seth stated. Walter stared at him as he wrote the information down.'' I see. Well, we will be in touch Mr.Marks. Get well.'' he said as Walter walked out the room. He had been hunting these guys for months but for them to suddenly to attack a high school. It was out of their criteria. He had to get to the bottom of this as walked away in the hospital. Seth laid in bed. He then notice something. The pain was gone. He looked at it. His wound had already healed.

 

- At the end of the day-

It was around 1 in the morning as Seth arrived home. Alex sat in the living room watching the news. He sat comfortable on the couch. He was in a white shirt and blue basketball shorts.'' Ah. Welcome home man. I thought you would be home tomorrow.'' Alex exclaimed.

 

'' Yea, well, my wound healed already.'' Seth stated as he sat next to Alex.'' Say, what do you remember from earlier?'' Seth questioned. Alex glace at him and looked back at the television.'' Really? First the cops, then Rachael, now you? I was knocked out from the explosion.'' Alex said. Seth slouched on the couch a bit.'' And Rachael's okay?'' Seth asked a little worried tone in his voice. Alex laughed.'' Man, she's alright. Just a little scared. So, when are you going to tell her?'' Alex questioned. Seth looked down.'' Not now, Alex, I did something to those men today.'' Seth said as he had remembered earlier but remained silent about it.'' Hm?'' which was Alex could say.'' You see, when Rachael was threaten, I lost it. I somehow controlled the elements and stopped them. I killed that man today.'' Seth said with guilt in his voice. Alex sat there shocked. It was silenced for a few minutes until Alex cleared his throat.'' Well, you had no choice. It was the right thing to do, you saved Rachael, me, and the other students.'' Alex stated.'' I did. I also experienced these powers earlier too. This must mean...I have the power over the elements.'' Seth exclaimed.'' How?'' Alex asked.'' The accident. Somehow it gave me these powers. I was given these a reason. Now I shall use those powers to save more people from this gang. Alex will you help me?'' he asked as he offered his hand. Alex swallowed saliva and took it.'' Yes. I will.'' Alex said as it was now the beginning of Seth's journey to become a hero. 

 

- Elsewhere-

It was a dark classroom as typing was being heard. A man typed something into a computer and stopped. A man sat in the dark. The man in front of the computer screen was Dr.Sebastian.

 

'' One of my men were killed tonight.'' the man in the dark said. Sebastian turned his chair and removed his glasses.'' It was necessary. I or we had to discover it.'' he said.'' And that is?'' the man question.'' To see if Seth's powers have been born, which they have, and now begins it.'' he said. The man in the dark threw a knife to the side of Sebastian's head.'' And that is?'' he asked once more.'' My plan. Remember, don't threaten me like this or my asset will come back. The Dark Riders are here for a reason.'' Sebastian as he sensed the man was gone as wind blew through a open window. Sebastian stood up and closed it. He turned and placed his glasses back on.'' Now Mr.Marks, what will you do now?'' Sebastian said as he looked out into the stars as a snowflake fell down.
