Checking out the competition

Hey its Roxy here! and what happened today was not an easy decision, but certainly a good one. we decided that we needed branches in different places around the state, what led us to this conclusion was our competitors Leen Food. heres what went down:

Tayla, me, and Stan snuck into Leen Food to sabotage their foods, it was a safe bet considering that we didn't need powers to do this, we placed cockroaches in the kitchen and spread a bit of honey around on the floor with a mop. it was after that when it happened.
"has it gotten darker?" asked Stan.
"it was dim when we came in, because of the street lights, they're off now" Tayla explained, but for once she wasn't right, she was wrong.
"nice job Tay-Tay, but i'm afraid that you're just another human being when it comes to solving mysteries" said Sage as he walked out of the darkness.
"how?" Stan asked, he was bewildered.
"i faked my death, you'll find that all of us 'villains' were working together, me, Linda, John, Morto... Damian" he said.
"what?!!!!!" we all said in unison.
"why do you think that he didn't want to help you? he had an enemy right? he did, but Tara's dead now, she deserves it. that traitor... we loved it. we were all connected to TP, VHS and The C.H.A.S.E. hell we were even connected to pinehearst for a bit, how do you think Evan got his power? how do you think we knew where to find him? Tara had been wandering around pinehearst for a while, she can jump into peoples bodies and even spen a little time in Elle's body, and even a bit in Tracy Strauss'. but thats another story. one day she stole a few vials of formula and replaced them with the imperfected one" he explained. it was starting to make sense. "Linda, Morto and Damian had been working together for a while, but when John and -soon- i joined, they really came into focus. they-"
"you bastard!!!" yelled Tayla, she threw a knife from the counter at him, he stopped it with TK and flung it back to her, Tayla wasn't quick enough to get out of the way, only to have her hand in the way of it.
"ahhh!!!" she screamed.
"lets just make that unhealable" said Sage, the cruelty in voice was showing more and more as he worked his "magic" as he like to call it. "they, and by that i mean Linda and John are totally and truly dead, i made sure of that, i could see John start to lean more to the good side, he started to think about VHS and TP as friends instead of enemies, Linda started to think of her family, they had to die before they caused real damage! Morto and his army of telepaths will be ready soon, they're all over the state. what will you do when they start to come after you?" he said.
"why are you telling us this?" I asked while i helped Tayla, her hand was in bad shape, the knife went right through her left hand!
"because you're all about to die" he said, he raised his hand and with a wave we all felt light-headed, our memories started to fade and we could feel our feet start to disapear, we were disapearing from existance! it was all happening so fast, that i was amazed to be brought back, both me and Stan made it back, but Tayla was a damaged good, that is, she took a shorter amount of time to go, due to her injury, she'd been 'deleted' when we were brought back by Charlie and Ali (thats right), they'd been working in the technology part of our TP building, using lasers, they'd created a laser (using the gene formations that the late Gene Trend, as he liked to be called made, he was part of C.H.A.S.E, he was a founding member with the power of gene manipulation, he'd been working on ways to get rid of powers), they'd used lasers to complete his research, and when they shot it in Sages eye, it took to his brain and took away his power, bringing Stan and I back. as Cleo waited patiantly, ready to kill, we walked out.
"what about Tayla?" she asked, we shook our heads, and took Sage back to HQ in the Aston Martin.

"why did you create Leen Food?" asked Evan, he was forcing him to tell the truth.
"to get close to you guys, i knew Tayla's competitive spirit and used it to lure them over, i wanted to send a warning, to make sure we actually had a bit of a fight on our hands and you were never meant know about the telepaths" he said.
"he's telling the truth" concluded Evan. Stan had known Sage, he met him when he was good, he couldn't shoot him knowing that he was capable of good, he let him plea for his life.
"it was the power! it corrupted me! everythings good again! please!" he cried. Omni held up a drawing of him, Morto, Tara, Linda, Damian and John talking.
"why didn't i see it?" she asked.
"i'm not an idiot, i had reality warping i made sure that you didnt see it, it was the same with mind-reading and tracking. i made sure" he said. Gravity had a temper, he walked up to Sage and said:
"you dont know me, or at least, i dont know you. and i am fine with killing someone i dont know" he said, he pulled out a gun and shot Sage in the head.

the people heading to Scaremento are:

• Evan (BTW: no-one said it, but he'd joined up with us just after the thing with Damian coming back in the form of a John clone, Evan decided to join up, i think. i dont really remember, its odd how he just kinda appeared out of nowhere and we never posted it, at least i dont think we did)
• Sam
