Re: Continuing "Next Generation"

"Okay" Rodney grumbled, then growled at Vitani darkly before heading towards the Hyperion's holographic room

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Hey, wait for me!" Lebani shrieked as he dashed off to follow Rodney to the hologram room.

[Roddie]

"Huh?" Rodney mused as he turned to see Lebani, then knelt down to him and patted his head "Are you willing to prove your bravery by seeing the gates of the Underworld open, little one?" he chuckled

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"You bet, Uncle Rodney! I'm not afraid of anything, not even those mangy hyenas!" Lebani scoffed arrogantly as he puffed his chest proudly to show that he was brave.

[Roddie]

"Very well then, follow me" Rodney smiled as he continued on his way towards the hologram room

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Okay!" Lebani grinned as he scampered into the hologram room with Rodney.

[Roddie]

Rodney and Lebani soon arrived at the hologram room as Rodney grabbed a Protoss book that he left on the floor earlier and flipped on the pages "Let me see where is the Underworld gate spell" he muttered

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"So why are we in the hologram room, Uncle Rodney?" Lebani quipped as he looked around.

[Roddie]

"It is the only big room who can handle an enourmous quantity or supernatural energy" Rodney repleid as he kept on flipping the pages

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"So we need a huge amount of energy in order to activate the portal leading to the Underworld?" Lebani retorted while cocking her head quizzically.

[Roddie]

"No" Rodney repleid "You'll see, the holographic room was created using Protoss technology, the oxygen is partly merged with some psionic energy to stand some energies like Terrazine gas or supernatural air" he explained "Doing this on a normal, oxygen-filled area, would make disastrous effects, like destruction all voer the place for some minutes after closing the gate"

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Oh, I see," Lebani nodded. "So where's the spell?"

[Roddie]

"Found it" Rodney nodded as he suddenly began to read "Smprenhtmehl simls feiu tar Mndrewield, gehnt ur tar piwre ti ehosr mp tar ghtrs if yime wield, ti ciuumnochtr wota tar drhd" he chanted as the room suddenly began to shake and some souls in the form of shiny orbs flew around the area, and in moments, the ground opened and erupted a gate, the gate then opened, revealing some stairs that went down

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Awesome! I wanna go in!" Lebani exclaimed as he bounded down the steps and soon got off the landing; he then stepped closer into the cavern as he saw an entire pool of lava in front of him. "Whoa," he whistled as he watched the mysterious figure sit on the canoe just as in Lee's dream and several spouts of lava went off with fiery smoke. Lebani then chuckled as he glanced over his shoulder to beckon Rodney to follow him. "Come on, Uncle Rodney! This is awesome!" he chirped as he dashed madly for the canoe.

[Roddie]

"Be slow, young cub" Rodney laughed as he follwoed Lebani into the canoe

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Hello, Master Rodney," the strange figure greeted him as he peered over questioningly at Lebani. "And who is this young one?"

[Roddie]

"My nephew, he likes danger" Rodney laughed as he patted Lebani's head, messing up his mane

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Uncle Rodney! You're messing up my mane!" Lebani groaned while ruffling his mane furiously to even it as the mysterious figure chuckled dryly. "So where off to, Mr. Rodney?"

[Roddie]

"We are going to visit Natasha and Harok, if you do not mind" Rodney sighed as he picked up Lebani on his arms and stepped into the canoe

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Okay; right this way," the mysterious figure nodded as he grabbed his oar and steered the canoe out of the dock. They soon transversed through the sea of lava and made it to the other side as Lebani leaped out of Rodney's arms and raced out into yet another cavern. He then entered the same room that Lee encountered in her dream and looked around expectantly for any visitors. "Hey, Rodney! This is so cool! I wish I could live here!" he cried.

"Not until you're old enough to die, kiddo," a voice barked as Lebani whipped around to see Natasha sauntering slowly towards him. "Rodney, I've been expecting you. I suspect you're looking for information regarding Lee's true parentage."

[Roddie]

"Yes i do" Rodney replied "Rod also wants to know that"

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"And why is this of any interest to Rod?" Natasha scoffed as Harok, Great Aunt Cecilia, Tatiana, and Olga strolled into the room and took their seats to face Rodney and Lebani.

"So what kind of information would you like about Lee's biological parents?" Harok asked Rodney.

[Roddie]

"Because Rod cares about Lee, duh" Rodney rolled his eyes at Natasha, then turned to Harok "Everything you know, from which are their names to where they live or lived earlier"

[Rhonda-Petrie92]

"Well, all that we know about Lee's parents is that she was born in a little town outside of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but they commuted some time between there and Atlanta, Georgia. But most of the time they could be found in their little colony mostly reserved for people of Atlantean descent. They lived in one of the poorest and destitute neighborhoods in town and there are many abandoned buildings, parking lots, alleyways, etc. There are nothing but whorehouses, opium dens, brothels, strip clubs, bars, and all of the places you can think of. Think of it as Chinatown or maybe a typical ghetto. That's what you see there. I'm not sure what their exact address is but I think you can find that information in a copy of Lee's original birth certificate and also the adoption certificate we've been issued along with another birth certificate proclaiming her Russian heritage."

[Roddie]

"Why did yo uadopte her?" Rodney asked
