Vanguard: Season Four: A Superhero Adventure
Page 26
Paragon used her own telekinesis to keep her and Shift anchored. The pull was powerful. Talon extended her wings, flapping them hard against the portal to fly back. She pushed her wings with all her strength, but then, she slipped.
Talon screamed as she was dragged towards the portal. Her teammates screamed, crying out her name. She flapped her wings against the current, trying to fly away, put some distance.
Pulse summoned up as much power as he could. A second EMP in such a short amount of time put tremendous strain on his body, but he had to do it. He saw Talon slipping into the void and he gritted his teeth, putting everything he had into it.
He released the EMP and the portal went dark. The pull ended and the team could relax. It took them a minute before they realized that they were short one person.
“Vicky…” muttered Gunsmith, breathing heavily.
EPILOGUE
Talon screamed as she fell through darkness. The fall felt never-ending and her voice grew hoarse over time. But she finally felt cool wind on her face and she opened her eyes to see the ground below.
Her wings extended out to the sides and slowed her descent. They were exhausted, though, and they only managed to slow her slightly before she fell onto the ground. Talon groaned and pulled herself to her feet. She looked up and saw the void closing up, leaving only the night sky.
She was outdoors and lying in an alley. Talon struggled to stand and realized she should look a bit less conspicuous. Her wings retracted into her back and her claws shrunk back down to normal.
The uniform was still a problem, but one thing at a time. Vicky moved towards the edge of the alley and looked out. There were people on the street, walking about as normal. Looking around, Vicky didn’t see any Gunsmith patrols. No Cerberus presence.
She stepped from the alley out onto the sidewalk. Vicky merged with the crowd, drawing a few stares from other people, but mostly they were quiet. Eventually, she found a newsstand. The date on the paper confirmed her suspicions.
Vicky Asano had traveled twenty years into the past.

THE MYTH HUNTER
All the legends of the world have some element of truth to them. And to track down those legends, there are the myth hunters. Some, like Elisa Hill, are explorers, trying to learn more about the world. And some are soldiers of fortune, whose only goal is pro t and exploitation, no matter the risk.
INFERNUM
A shadowy, globe-spanning network of operatives run by the mysterious power broker known as Dante. They hold allegiance to no one, existing as rogues on the fringes of society. No matter the job, Infernum has an operative to execute it—provided you have the means to pay for it!
VANGUARD
The world has changed. A mysterious event altered the genetic structure of humanity, granting a small percentage of the population superhuman powers. A small team of these specials has been formed to deal with potential threats. Paragon—telekinetic powerhouse; Zenith—hyper-intelligent automaton; Shift—shape-changing teenager; Wraith—teleporting shadow warrior; Sharkskin—human/shark hybrid. Led by the armored Gunsmith, they are Vanguard!
LUTHER CROSS
Luther Cross has been through Hell—literally. Born of a mother he watched die, conceived as part of a demonic ritual, and raised by monks after being saved by a mysterious, murderous individual, Cross now makes a living through confidence schemes...and the death of demons.
