Perdido Beach was a normal California town until the cloud dome appeared and all residents over the age of fourteen disappeared. Lana's life went to hell the moment her grandfather disappeared from his pickup truck. They were on their way home when, out of nowhere, he vanished. There a minute and then suddenly... gone. He tried to control the truck, but despite his efforts, it went off the road and went down the hills. After what seemed like an eternity, the truck stopped. Bruised, battered and bloody, Lana managed to get out of the vehicle. He had several broken bones and was unable to defend himself. That's when the mountain lion decided it was best to attack. Lying helplessly on the ground, Lana was surely a goner. That is until her dog Patrick intervened and protected her from the lion. That fight left the dog fatally injured. He crawled back to her, slowly dying. Lana's heart broke for Patrick, and to comfort him, she fell asleep with her hand on him. When he woke up the next morning, he was not dead. In fact, it was as if he had never been attacked. It was then that Lana realized she had an extraordinary gift. He had healed him with his bare hands. She began to heal herself, and after a long process, she was as good as new. Alone and without shelter, Lana and Patrick began looking for a place to take refuge for safety. It was then that they came across an abandoned shack. They also met up with a boy named Sam and his friends Astrid and Quinn. After a brief introduction, they were attacked by a pack of coyotes who had developed a very rough ability to speak, and when one of them went for Sam's neck, Lana killed and healed it. The group brought Lana to the city for protection and so that she could help heal the ki...... middle of paper ......y was back to normal. Well, almost normal. As Gaia's horrific attacks continued, Caine knew he would have to bring out the big guns to stop them. He took out the large missiles they had been saving for an occasion just like this, and launched them at Gaia. Instead of killing her, the missiles only destroyed Orc, who was fighting her. Caine knew there was no way for them to simply fight her, so he made the ultimate sacrifice. He invited the spirit of Little Pete to use his body as a vessel. Pete was the only one whose power matched Gaia's, and he was their last hope. Pete and Gaia faced each other and in an explosion of lights they fought to the death. The rest of the town watched their battle in awe, and just before Pete won and freed the town of Perdido Beach from the clutches of the Gaiaphage, Lana felt the tingling of the Tesseract up there..
