Searching in the Dark

Searching in the Dark is the main title of the first book; it consists of action, mystery and other such themes. The main characters persist of mainly Teenage Mutants, a mutant being someone who's DNA has mutated beyond that of a normal human. The novel begins in a school; called St Bronstons which is supposedly in England, every student in the school is a mutant. The genetic mutation gives everyone of the students their own unique super power, eventually the students learn of their powers and after a near disaster escape, the students escape due to the head of the corporation attempting to wipe the memories of the students in order to continue his policy of "one race". They find an abandoned school and live there for almost a week when people start to disappear the main characters decide that they should leave the school as soon as possible. The main characters are generally ambushed before they can arrive back and are therefore recaptured. Lance West, the main protagonist, arrives home without being ambushed and is unaware about the current situation of his friends. He arrives at home but has little time to get comfortable as the finally named "Anti-meta army" break down the door and shoot Lance by accident, unaware of his healing abilities. The military force holds Lance's parents at gun point, questioning them about Lance's little brother who seems to have undiscovered mutant powers. Lance manages to recover from the gunshot and spits the bullet out of his mouth, in the process killing one of the officers. In panic, the militia kills Lance's parents and this causes his rage to take over, releasing his powerful nuclear blast ability. Frost, a mysterious entity who was some sort of relation with Lance, saves every innocent person who was within the blast range with a powerful shield. Lance then decides he will need training and in the process moves to the uninhabited island of Capello. After three weeks of training Lance finally prepares to rescue his friends. After traveling to the school Lance attempts to break everyone out but is unable to open the huge gateway that allows them to get to the outside world. Lance is unable to open the door even with all the strength of the mutants. Lance eventually opens a portal which begins to rip the door off, but it is not large enough to successfully rip the whole door off so he pushed himself beyond his limits and is able to rip the door off but he is unable to control the portal which is now constantly draining his energy. Frost then tells him that there is more than one way to close the portal and says that they close by themselves when they are overloaded with too much energy. But Lance had too little energy left to attempt to close it and for some reason parts of his hair start to go lighter, Frost decides to show Lance his power and fires a gold beam into the vortex which causes it to close. Frost then disappears and Lance invites his team to the island of Capello. In the mean time an account is given by Felix Rhodes and a group of re-recaptured mutants of his time in the school after being recaptured, they were doing forced labour in order to produce the materials needed for the newly designed robots which are supposedly invincible to mutants and will be able to cleanse the world of mutants. During one day of his imprisonment, Felix starts to dream up of an even more mysterious entity that is only recognized by a series of white lines in a strange pattern. This mutant keeps contacting Felix and tells him to stay low when he hears the chimes. On another day of imprisonment Felix was about to get out of his cell until a random chime sounded. With the knowledge that the mysterious person gave him, Felix stayed low and an incredibly powerful telekinetic ring broke through the walls of the mutant jail. Both Lance and Felix are invited to the mysterious fighting tournament called "The Emes". Currently many of the main characters and all of the secondary characters have been knocked out of the tournament and Lance will soon meet one of his greatest friends/rivals.
