[LNH2] Generation Zed: The New Class #2

                             Generation Zed: The New Class #2 -- 
Premonitions

2018.  The Future.  C.bu, the Philippi.net.

 "Auntie Nene!  Uncle Rudy!"
 "Welcome back to C.bu, Michael!" his aunt said to him.  "We have somebody
here who's been looking for you."
 "Who?"
 A young man stood up.  He looked remarkably like Michael Narona himself
but with a darker complexion.  "You are the son of Deja Dude?"
 "Yes.  Who are you?"
 "I am Damien Bodharamik.  I suppose, in a way, I am your brother."
 Michael was taken aback for a moment.  "My brother?"
 "Yes," Damien said.  "We share the same father."
 "We do?" Michael asked incredulously.  "Are you sure?  My father never 
mentioned you."
Damien nodded.  "Perhaps he didn't know about me.  He and my mother weren't 
together for very long."
 "Here in the Philippi.net?"
 "No, in Thai.lan."
 Michael nodded.  "I see.  Perhaps this is a case of mistaken identity."
 Damien shook his head.  "I can assure you that it is not."  He took out 
his wallet, opened it and showed Michael a photograph he had been carrying 
there in.  "See?  This is your father and my mother together.  My mother 
told me that my father was a net.hero from Ca.net.da.  I recently found an 
old picture of your father on the internet.  They're the same man!  I found 
out that Deja Dude had a place here in C.bu so I flew over hoping to meet 
him but I'm happy to meet you instead!  For now, anyway."
 "What kind of man was your father?" Michael asked.
 "My mother didn't have good things to say about our father," Damien 
admitted, "but I figured that was because he abandoned her."
 "Actually, he died."
 "What?"
 Michael nodded.  "My father was Deja Dude, yes, but unless I am mistaken 
your father was my father's evil twin, Psykeye."
 "Evil twin?  So you are saying we are actually cousins?"
 "Not quite.  By 'evil twin' I don't mean to say they were actual brothers. 
 Rather they were inter cross time counterparts."
 "What?"
 "Psykeye came from a Looniverse in which the LNH was evil and bent on 
taking over the world.  Psykeye enjoyed tormenting his teammates so they 
banished him from the Legion of Net.Villains.  He came to this Looniverse to 
torment this Looniverses LNH, especially my father, Deja Dude.  You see, in 
his Looniverse, he was known as Deja Dude but when he came here he knew he 
had to go by a different name so he called himself 'Psykeye'."
 "Where did he get that name from?"
 "There was a sexy comic book character known as Psylocke and Psykeye 
thought of himself as the natural companion to her."  Michael made a gesture 
with his hands.  "You know --"
 "Right," Damien said.  "I get it."
 "Anyway, my father is no saint so it stands to reason that Psykeye wasn't 
evil the way Flipseid is evil but, rather, if there's something really nasty 
that my father wouldn't do then it stands to reason that Psykeye would have 
been into it.  Let's just say that Psykeye enjoyed inflicting pain."
 "Alright," Damien said.  "What you're saying rings true.  But what did you 
mean when you said that my father was dead?  How did he die?"
 "It was more than 22 years ago.  Psykeye was tormenting a group of young 
LNHers known as Generation Y.  They turned to Deja Dude for help.  Deja Dude 
tracked down Psykeye to northern Thai.lan and there Deja Dude realized that 
he had to stop Psykeye once and for all."
 "Are you saying your father killed my father?"
 Michael nodded sadly.  "Actually he sacraficed himself in doing so.  My 
father remained dead for almost four years and originally only came back for 
the Mutton Mania cascade.  Then he saw potential in coming back as Martie 
Townsend and doing Charlie's Angels satires --"
 "OK, you've lost me."
 "Sorry.  I guess you don't know about the fictional nature of the 
Looniverse."
 "The what?"
 "So what are your powers?" Michael asked, changing the subject.
 "Powers?"
 "I assume you have powers," Michael said.
 Damien nodded.  "Flight.  Super strength.  X-ray vision.  
Invulnerability."
 "Ah.  Your basic Superboy / Superman power set."
 "I suppose so.  How about you?"
 "Long range teleportation.  Clairvoyance.  Energy projection.  I'm also 
pretty good with my laser sword."
 "Laser sword?"
 "Yeah, I picked one up when I was on the Dorfian homeworld.  It's pretty 
cool.  Looks like something out of a Star Wars movie."
 "Can I see it?"
 "Actually, it's not here.  I left it in my room in Con.net.icut.  But I 
can telport us there," Michael suggested.  "Then you can meet my dad."

 Meanwhile, on the aforementioned Dorfian Homeworld,  Boba LaRocque had 
been called to have an audience with the Dorfian Emperor.
 "You friggin' imbicile!  You absolute fool!"
 "Same to you, oh hideous one!" Boba said in reply.
 "No!" the Emperor insisted.  "I really friggin' well mean it this time!  
You friggin' well weren't authorized to attack Looniearth and you could have 
friggin' well thrown us into a war that could have friggin' well devestated 
us! Have you friggin' well forgotten that we're still facing a trilithium 
shortage after the destruction of the trilithium operation on Fokyu?  (It 
happened back in Cute Anna, Crypt Looter #7 --Footnote Woman)  And we're 
still in the porocess of rebuilding our armada after it was wiped out by the 
cursed Enobi!  (It happened off panel in an issue of The Team --Footnote 
Woman)"
 "I am no idiot, oh moronic one," Boba LaRocque told him.  "The humans are 
the enemy!  They deserve to be wiped out!"
 "The friggin' humans are our allies against the cursed Enobi!  They've all 
but wiped out the cursed Enobi," the Empoeror pointed out.  "Do you want 
them to do the same to us?"
 "No," Boba LaRocque said.  "I want to do the same to them!"
 The Dorfian Emperor shook his head.  "Whatever you do, do it on your 
friggin' own with no friggin' assistance from the state!  You are hereby 
friggin' well cut off!"
 Boba LaRocque cringed.  "And do you suppose that makes me less dangerous 
to the humans, oh virtually mindless one?"

 Meanwhile, back on Looniearth, in one of the dorm rooms at Net.ropolis 
Academy, Whining Girl woke with a start.
 "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed.
 Her teammates, N, Nimbo, Cheesecake Eater Lass, Intuition Girl and Token 
Boy all ran into her room to see what was wrong.
 "What happened?" N asked.
 "Did you have a bad dream?" Cheesecake Eater Lass asked.
 "I saw the future!" she said.  "We're all going to die!"
 "Not again!" Token Boy said.  "Come on guys, let's go back to bed!"
 "Excuse me, but your room is over there!" Nimbo said.  "That's my room!"
 "Oh, really?  My mistake!" Token Boy lied.
 "Wait!" Intuition Girl said.  "Maybe she actually is seeing the future!"
 "I doubt it," Token Boy said.  "She's had these dreams before and nothing 
ever happens."
 "It does seem unlikely," N argued.
 "Why won't anyone believe me?" Whining Girl asked.
 "It's not that we don't believe you," Cheesecake Eater Lass said.  "It's 
just that..."
 "It's just that we need to get some sleep," N told her.  "Perhaps you can 
tell Doctor Stomper about it in the morning."
 "By then it might be too late!" she whined.  "You have to believe me or 
else!"
 "Or else what?" Token Boy asked.
 "Or else we're all doomed!"
