Attack on Tetherby industries part 2
The L-Angels with their weapons out are about to face off against Xander. "Alright girls. Xander is one of the dangerous villains, so this requires smart thinking and no full on attacks." Sharpshot said.
"You got it." Beast said. "He's waiting for us to make the first attack."
"So we should have him make the first move then." Cherry Bomb said as she readied her axe.
"Wouldn't that be just as dangerous?" Reaper pointed out.
"The goth has a point." Gamer said. "Neither option is good."
"How about this girls." Xander said catching their attention. "How about I show you what happens to people who go somewhere they aren't supposed to go."
"Gamer finish hacking that computer." Sharpshot ordered. "We'll buy you some time."
"Got it! Just keep him off me!" Gamer said as she typed at the keyboard.
"Ladies first." Xander gestured one of the L-Angels to make the first attack.
"Alright girls let's not do anything crazy." Sharpshot started.
"For the animal kingdom!" Beast shouted before charging at Xander. She leaps up and swings her claws at him but Xander catches her and swings her into the wall. Cherry Bomb then tries to swing axe at Xander but avoids the swing and knees Cherry Bomb in the gut.
"Anyone else?" Xander challenged.
Reaper charged towards Xander and attempts to slash the hunter, but he dodged the attack and choke slams Reaper to the ground.
"Damn it girls." Sharpshot grunted. She grabs a arrow from her quiver and shoots it at Xander, but he grabs the arrow. But the arrow released some smoke blinding Xander in the process.
"Hurry hit while he can't see!" Cherry Bomb shouted.
"Right." Reaper and Beast say in unison before rushing forward.
Reaper and Beast both dived towards the smoke and attempt to slash Xander, but he was no where in the smoke. Reaper is dragged through the smoke. Beast looked around the smoke. "Where the hell is he?" Beast asked as she looked around the smoke.
"Right here luv." Beast turns around and is hit with a hard kick to the face sending her crashing through the door.
"Where's Reaper?" Sharpshot asked.
"Up here." Sharpshot looks up and sees Reaper strung up to the ceiling. "Hung like prey. How humiliating." Sharpshot is about to fire an arrow to free her when something grabs her head.
"Not so fast." Xander says before throwing Sharpshot into Cherry Bomb.
"That's not good." Gamer said. She looks back to the monitor. "No time to find specifics. Just gonna download it all." She sticks the USB drive into the computer and starts downloading files. "This will probably take awhile."
"Shame you won't get to see it upload." Xander says as he turns his attention to Gamer. Gamer grabs her blasters and starts firing at Xander who maneuvers around the blaster fire.
"Shit." Gamer said. "Gonna need help."
"Sigh. I'll call for help." Reaper says.
Down in the lobby Speed Queen and Multiple Girl slid back where they avoided another strike from Squatch.
"C'mon blondies I was expecting a challenge." Squatch taunted.
"Careful what you wish for." Speed Queen growled. "Multiple Girl you attack from your good side, I'll attack from the other side."
"Got it." Multiple Girl responded.
"What the hell does that even mean?" Squatch asked.
"You'll see." Speed Queen smirked.
Multiple Girl made four clones and they glared at Squatch. "Good side ladies!" Multiple Girl said to her clones.
"Yes ma'am!" The clones responded.
"Charge!" Multiple Girl ordered.
Multiple Girl and her clones all charge towards Squatch and each punched Squatch on the right side of his face.
"Now it's my turn." Speed Queen said to herself and ran at Squatch at full speed and kicks him as the left side.
"Damn you." Squatch growled before smashing his fists on the ground sending the Multiple Girl clones and Speed Queen flying back.
"And we made him mad." Speed Queen said as she landed on the ground. Her watch goes off. "What's up?"
"Speed Queen Xander is here!" Reaper tells her.
"Damn it. Xander's here?" Speed Queen growled.
"XANDER IS HERE!?" Wildgirl shouted. Speed Queen turns and sees her sister as a gorilla with Terror Crew thugs all over her. Then with a single flex of her arms, she sends the thugs flying. "I'm gonna break his face!" She goes rhino and plows through the thugs to the stairs.
"Wildgirl wait!" Speed Queen shouted but she ignored her. "Damn it why isn't anyone listening to me?" Her watch goes off again. "What?"
"Yo sis Pike is up here!" Amplifier told her.
"Pike too?" Speed Queen said. "Wait. Pike and Xander are here and if we go off the way Black Ice ran off it's safe to assume that Helios is here too. Something isn't right here."
"You read my mind sis." Amplifier responded with a grunt. "Damn those blades are sharp."
"Just try to take him down." Speed Queen told her. "Hey Cuddles you heard all that right?"
"Yeah. Pike, Xander and Helios." Mr. Cuddles answered. "But the big question is why are they there? Want me to do any digging?"
"Please and thank you." Speed Queen responded as she dodged a strike from Squatch. "Also Nuke took Surge. Mind trying to figure out where they went?"
"I'm on it." Mr. Cuddles said. "I'll find her and send Armor Armor and Genarocker to her location."
"Um he might be a little busy." Speed Queen said as she watched Armor get smashed into a wall by Golden Tiger. "Do we know where Virus and Phantom are yet?"
"Not yet but they're there alright." Mr. Cuddles said. "I'll try to find them."
"Find them quick and contact Ryker as soon as you can we're going to need his help." Speed Queen said.
"I'm on it!" Mr. Cuddles said as he hung up. "Ok I got a lot on my plate and I'm gonna finish it!"
"Haggar are you alright?" Speed Queen asked as she kicked the back of Squatch's knee. Haggar looked up from where he had a thug in a headlock.
"Never better kid." He responded before punching the thug in the head. "I feel like I did in my college days."
"Good to know chief!" Speed Queen said as she returned to her fight with Squatch.
"In fact." Haggar said before suddenly ripping his shirt off revealing a burly body and that he was wearing a singlet under his police uniform. "I think it's time to show you kids how we do it old school!"
"Holy crap, he's ripped." One of Multiple Girl's clones said.
Haggar begins to Beat up some of the thugs, he judo throws one thug, elbow slams on another thug and grabs a 3rd thug and performs a pile driver onto the thug.
"Dear God the chief of police is a monster." Candyman said with a groan as he ducked a swing from Genarocker's giant sword.
"I was not expecting that." Squatch said before getting smacked by two of Multiple Girl's clones.
"Were you expecting this?" Parkour shouted as she leaped up and punched Squatch in the chin.
Squatch quickly recovered from the attack and charged towards Parkour, but Parkour gives Squatch a right hook to the face. "Predictable as always Squatch." Parkour said.
"Oh really?" Squatch growled as he stood up. "Did you remember to never let your guard down?" Parkour looks at him confused before getting rocked by a right hand from Golden Tiger.
"And here I thought she was the muscle." Tiger mocked. Johnny sped around taking down police officers and security guards before hitting a handspring kick on Carolborg.
"C'mon robot. Give me a challenge." Johnny taunted.
"I'm a cyborg!" Carolborg shouted as she fired some two missiles at Johnny to which he dodged within a blink of an eye.
"Touched a nerve I see." Johnny said. "Oh wait you don't got any." Carolborg's human eye twitched. Her arms then turned into blasters, her shoulders sprouted turrets, and her knees popped out miniguns. "Whoa."
"HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS!?" Carolborg shouted.
Carolborg began to open fire onto Johnny Speed to which he begins to dodge the bullets and laser blasts at lightning speed. "Damn I never seen Carol this angry." Speed Queen thought as she avoided an attack from Squatch.
"HOW ABOUT I BREAK YOUR LEGS OFF JOHNNY!?" Carolborg shouted.
"I would prefer if you didn't." Johnny replied. "But then again you can't even hit me robot."
"TRY SOME HEATSEEKING MISSILES!" Carolborg shouted as she fired three missiles at Johnny.
"Ah shit." Johnny cursed as he struggled to to avoid the missles because they kept following him. Suddenly Zoya leaped in front of the missles and punched and kicked them, destroying them. She turned to her uncle with a smile on her face and her hair messed up.
"That was awesome!" Zoya cheered. Johnny chuckled at her enthusiasm and rubs her head.
"Not bad kid." He says. Before he can do anything else he's hit by a janitor cart. Zoya turns to see Prodigy levitating a few feet away.
"You ruined a good bonding moment!" Zoya shouted.
"I can hardly call it a bonding moment." Prodigy replied.
"Says you!" Zoya shouted back. "Why don't you come down here and try something nerd!" Prodigy sighs.
"You really were trained by the Terror Crew." She says. Ms. Appear then appears next to her.
"She was and it shows." Ms. Appear said. "When I fought her I let my guard down. That won't be happening again. Go help Parkour with Golden Tiger, Prodigy. I'll deal with Zoya."
"As you wish." Prodigy said as she ran off to assist Parkour.
"Ready for round two?" Ms. Appear asked as she glared at Zoya.
Zoya gets into a fighting stance. "Bring it metal mouth!" She says.
Ms. Appear formed two forcefield battle axes and began to charge towards Zoya, she swings one ace towards Zoya but she blocks one with her metal arm.
However Ms. Appear swings the other one hitting Zoya sending her sliding. Before Zoya can do anything else, Ms. Appear hits her with a leaping kick knocking her down.
Zoya quickly gets back up and Throws a punch at Ms. Appear, but she quickly blocks the attack with a forcefield and the Ms. Appear turns inivisible,
"This again?" Zoya asked herself.
Ms. Appear becomes visible again locks Zoya in a sleeper hold. "I don't want to hurt you but you're making it difficult!" She says.
Zoya elbows Ms. Appear in the gut releasing her, then Zoya gives Ms. Appear an uppercut to the face.
"Please I'm always difficult!" Zoya said though she instantly regretted it. "That sounded cooler in my head." Ms. Appear rubs her chin before glaring at Zoya.
"I hope you enjoyed those hits because the only shots you're getting." She says. "Kid, I'm gonna show you how out of your league you really are."
Back upstairs Crystal Princess who's body was covered in crystals blocked a slash from Pike.
"Come now little girl. That didn't save you that much last time did it?" Pike taunted.
"I thought it would work." Crystal Princess muttered.
Amplifier teleports behind Pike, grabs hold of zpike and shocks him. "Nice try sparky." Pike said as he elbows Amplifier and impales her in the chest with Pike's wrist blade.
"Damn it." Amplifier grunted in pain.
"Oh you're still alive." Pike said as he raised his other blade. "Let's change that." However he's then kicked in the face by Firecracker forcing the other blade out of Amplifier's chest. Firecracker then runs to Amplifier's side.
"You ok?" He asks.
"I think so." Amplifier responded. Firecracker goes into his pocket and pulls out a pill. He hands it to her. "Thanks bro."
"Don't mention it." Firecracker said as he flew towards Pike and threw two fireballs at him.
Pike tried to swipe Firecracker down, but he dodged the attack. "Come down here and fight!" Pike shouted.
"Naw I'm good." Firecracker responded. Pike scowls but then shrugs.
"Suit yourself boy." Pike said. He runs to the wall and starts climbing up it with his claws. Once he's high enough he launches himself at Firecracker knocking him out of the air. Once the two are on the floor, Pike pins him down and prepares his blade. "Times up kid." Before he can do anything, a nearby door opens. Everyone turns to see Virus in the doorway. Virus takes in the scene and sighs.
"Shit." He says while he pinches the bridge of his nose. "Just my luck. A few heroes and a psychopath. What are the odds? So much for getting out of here easily."
"You again!" Amplifier glared.
"Oh boy, another body to add to my kill count." Pike smiled sinisterly.
"I don't remember showing up with you." Virus said uninterested. "Which means you ain't with me."
"You're an interesting one aren't you." Pike said getting off of Firecracker. "You don't seem to care that you're staring death in the face."
"No I don't care." Virus said. "Now I'm gonna leave right now."
"You're not going anywhere." Pike said.
Out of nowhere Pike lunges at Virus who forms data rings on his arms to block the blades.
"And now we're doing this." Virus groaned before kicking Pike in the stomach forcing him back.
"We are doing this." Pike replied as he tries to stab Virus with his blades but he blocks the attack with his right arm.
"I guess we are." Virus said. He then hits Virus with a punch to the stomach followed by a sweep kick.
Pike quickly recovered from the attack, then kicked Virus in the gut and managed to slash Virus' left shoulder in the process.
"Damn it." Virus grunted. He shot a data ring at Pike that hits him in the chest. Virus then waves his fingers around causing the data ring to hit Pike several times. Meanwhile the L-Crew watched in awe at what they were witnessing.
"Dudes what the hell is happening right now?" Amplifier questions.
"No idea." Crystal Princess responded. "So what do we do now?"
"Good question." Firecracker said. "I guess we let them wear themselves out." Unseen by the L-Crew, Virus flicked his fingers towards the L-Crew sending the data ring towards them. Seeing the data ring flying towards them, the L-Crew immediately dive out of the way. They look up to see what looked like a taunting smile on Virus's face.
"Oops." Virus said mockingly.
Let's take these guys down!" Amplifier glared as her fingers surged with electricity.
"Agree sister!" Crystal Princess replied as she formed two crystal swords.
"These guys are also focused on each other so let's try to use that to our advantage." Firecracker said as his fists ignited in flames.
"Good idea bro." Amplifier said.
"Let's do this." Crystal Princess said. "Hey Virus. You have the worst power in superpower history!"
"Says the brat that can summon crystals." Virus said as he hit Pike with data ring fist.
"My powers aren't stupid!" Crystal Princess shouted.
"Let me handle this guy sis." Amplifier said.
"Ah great. My least favourite hero." Virus groaned.
Amplifier doesn't respond and goes for a kick on Virus who ducks underneath it before punching Amplifier in the gut. Virus then puts his arms up to block a double slash from Pike.
"Don't forget about me Virus!" Pike said. However he's hit in the back by several fireballs and crystals. Pike scowls but gets hit with an uppercut from Virus.
"I wish I can forget you." Virus replied, but then he dodged some some fireballs and electric blasts and fired three more data rings at the three heroes.
But luckily, Firecracker threw some fireballs at the data rings destroying them completely. "You got to be better than that Virus!" Firecracker taunted.
"God you're so damn annoying!" Virus growled. He grabs Pike's arm and judo throws him to the ground before hitting Firecracker in the stomach with a kick.
Crystal Princess formed a crystal mace and threw it towards Virus. But Virus dodged the crystal mace and glared at her. He shot a data ring at Crystal Princess but it trapped her, restraining her like rope.
"Oh come on!" She complained as she struggled to break free.
"Oh but it's only about to get worse." Virus told her. He then holds out his hand and his hand does a squeezing motion. As he does this the data ring restraining Crystal Princess begins to get tighter and tighter.
"It's getting tighter!" Crystal Princess choked out.
"I'm crush you hero." Virus said. However before he can continue he leaps back as Pike lunges at him again.
"You will not take my kill!" Pike growled.
"Damn it you're ruining everything!" Virus shouted back. He forms two data rings on his arms but these start spinning rapidly. "Let's see if you survive getting sliced in half!"
"Bring it on!" Pike said as the two rushed each other. Meanwhile, Amplifier and Firecracker free Crystal Princess.
"Thanks." Crystal Princess said. "Do we have a better plan?"
"Nope. Just stick with the original plan and attack while they're focused on each other." Amplifier ordered.
"Hope this works." Firecracker said as the three charged at the two villians.
Beast let out a grunt as Xander punched in the gut launching her upwards into the ceiling. Reaper then tries to come at him from behind with he scythe but he counters it with his machete.
Xander pushes back Reaper to a wall, right before Cherry Bomb lunged towards him, but Xander threw grabs Cherry Bomb and tossed her aside.
Sharpshot grabbed an arrow and shot it at Xander. But Xander grabs the arrow and tossed it aside and the arrow explodes. "Nice try." Xander said.
"Damn it." Sharpshot growled. "I'm starting to see why the L-Crew struggle with him. Gamer how much more needs to be downloaded?" Gamer gets up from where she was thrown and checks the computer where she groans.
"How do we only have twenty percent?" She shouted.
"God these downloading times suck." Sharpshot said. She turns back to Xander. "We ain't done yet."
"Oh I wouldn't say that lass." A new voice said. Xander turns around and he sees Phantom standing in the doorway of the office holding a knocked out Beast by her costume in one hand and his shillelagh in the other. He then tossed her aside. "I say you look quite done." Xander turns the rest of his body to face Phantom now no longer paying attention to the L-Angels.
"Who might you be mate?" Xander asked pulling out his machete.
"Names Phantom lad." Phantom responded as he readied his shillelagh. "Member of the Terror Crew and proud Irishman. And lad you know as well as I do how well the Irish and English get along."
"Agreed." Xander said. "Ireland and England. A rivalry as old as time. You came all the way here to fight me."
"That's right." Phantom said. "I like a good fight and I heard you can give me one."
"Well I don't disappoint." Xander smirked. "Show me what you got mate."
"Sure thing laddie." Phantom said as he walked towards Xander as he swing his shillelagh at Xander, but blocks the attack with his machette.
"Impressive." Xander said. "But you're no match for me."
"Wanna bet lad?" Phantom retorted. Xander pushes forward, forcing Phantom back and out of the office. Xander rushes forward and swings his machete at Phantom dodges the swings with ease. Phantom then swings his shillelagh hitting Xander in the stomach before the shillelagh upwards hitting Xander in the chin.
Xander recovered from the attack and sees Phantom about to hit him again with his shillelagh, but Xander grabs Phantom's wrist and punches him in the face and kicks Phantom in the gut. Phantom recovered from the attack whacks Xander with his shillelagh a bunch of times but it left the hunter unfazed.
"That all you have mate?" Xander taunted. His answer came when Phantom hit a bicycle kick to the face before jumping onto his hands and hitting a hurricane kick forcing Xander to stumble back.
"I got more where that came from laddie." said Phantom. Xander performs a leg swipe on Phantom knocking Phantom down and elbow slams Phantom I'm the chest. But Phantom grabs Xander and placed the hunter in a sleeper holder.
"He's got him in a sleeper." Beast said as she helped Reaper to her feet. "That'll keep both of them from moving for a bit."
"Sigh. Phantom is doing more damage than we did." Reaper moaned. "Which was none."
"C'mon girls get your heads in the game." Sharpshot ordered as she was at the computer with Gamer and Cherry Bomb. "We don't stand a chance against both of them so we just gotta hope that they keep their focus on each other." She turns to Gamer. "What we got now?"
"Forty-five percent." Gamer groaned. "How much am I freaking downloading that it's taking so long!?" She does some typing. "Maybe I should adjust it to just projects. Let's see. Are you kidding me it just downloaded everyone's vacation time. Get rid of that. Now a few more tweaks and boom! We are now only downloading projects. I got rid of all the unnecessary stuff and only kept the stuff we need. That being said with the new adjustments it had to restart the download but it shouldn't take as long now."
"Wow you're getting good at this hacking stuff." Cherry Bomb comments.
"Thanks." Gamer said. "Hey maybe we can hack into the school's computer system and change our grades."
"We're not doing." Sharpshot said.
"Eh worth a shot." Gamer said. They heard a grunt and saw that Xander broke free from the sleeper hold by elbowing Phantom's side. He then grabbed Phantom and threw him through a wall.
"Honestly mate I'm surprised how tough you are." Xander said before turning to the L-Angels. "And don't think I forgot about you five." He starts to approach them when he hears something charging towards him. He quickly turns around throws his fist forward where it collides with a larger black fist of a gorilla. Xander forms a large smile on his face. "Wildgirl."
"Xander." Wildgirl growled before hitting him with her other hand. "I'm taking you in."
"I'm not going anywhere." Xander said as he grabbed Wildgirl's fist preventing a third punch, then giving Wildgirl some of his punches.
"Should we help Wildgirl or let her deal with Xander?" Cherry Bomb asked.
Sharpshot is about to answer when they see Phantom start to get back to his feet.
"I ain't done with you Xander." He growled before walking towards Xander and Wildgirl who had gone grizzly and was trying to slash the hunter with her claws.
Phantom is about to whack one of the two with his shillelagh until he gets hit by an arrow with a boxing glove on it. Phantom turns around he sees the L-Angels in a battle stance. "You girls again?" Phantom asked.
"Yeah and haven't forgotten what happened the last time we met" Beast growled.
"And what was it that happened lassies?" Phantom retorted. "You having the luck of the Irish and getting the best of me? Or was it the time you lasses almost crippled our Black Market business?" Beast opens her mouth but immediately closes it.
"Huh. You make a very compelling case here." She says.
"He sure does." Cherry Bomb replied.
"We're not going to let you hurt Wildgirl!" Gamer shouted.
"If I'm being honest with you I'm more interested in Xander." Phantom told them. "Wildgirl is just an added bonus."
"Ok as much as I hate Xander. You can have him, but we're not going to let you hurt Wildgirl." Beast replied.
"And you lasses are gonna stop me?" Phantom taunted. "I'd like to see you try!" He then makes a dash towards Wildgirl and Xander who were still fighting.
"Hurry girls intercept!" Sharpshot ordered.
Xander is holding back Wildgirl's claws with his hands. But Wildgirl is starting to overpower Xander. "It's over Xander. I'm taking you in!" Wildgirl said.
"Not today luv." Xander grunted. Out of the corner of his eye he sees Phantom charging at him. "How about a new friend to play with?" He slides out from under Wildgirl's claws causing her to stumble right into a shillelagh smack from Phantom.
"Damn it." Phantom growled. "I was aiming for the hunter but the hero will do I guess."
"This is my kill mate." Xander said. "Well I guess I'm going to kill the both of you."
"I see you two ain't fans of each other." Wildgirl said who had turned back to human and was rubbing her head. She's then joined by the L-Angels. "But that doesn't matter. Today you two are going to the Dungeon."
"Like hell we are!" Both Phantom and Xander replied.
"I ain't going to let this Kraven knock off ruin everything." Phantom said.
"Like I said Wildgirl, the hunter doesn't get caged." Xander said.
"First time for everything." Wildgirl growled. The three sides then rushed at each other.
Black Ice slid backwards as she blocked a sun beam from Helios who then threw a plasma ball at her.
"Heads up Black Ice!" Helios shouted.
Black Ice dodged the Plasma ball nearly hitting her arm. Black Ice then formed a swarm of icicles around her And launched them towards Helios. To which she put up an aura around her and melts the icicles.
Black Ice even fired an ice beam at Helios, but she dodged it but only managed to hit her own arm. "Damn it." Helios groaned in pain as she looked at her arm encased in ice.
"Just surrender." Black Ice told her. "We don't have to do this." Helios growls and the ice on her arm starts melting.
"Not on your life." Helios said. "I'm going to crush you."
"No I will throw you in the Dungeon where you belong!" Black Ice shouted.
"In your dreams." Helios said. She holds her hands out and one forms a fireball while the other forms a plasma ball. She then puts them together and launches it at Black Ice who puts up a ice wall to try to block it but the combo ball goes right through it hitting Black Ice in the chest knocking her down. Helios then walks over to the down Black Ice and aims her hand at her head. Her hand glows yellow. "Farewell Black Ice."
"Hey freaks!" One of the Terror Crew thugs shouted as a squadron of thugs enter the room and aim their rifles at Helios and Black Ice.
"Oh crap. More of these guys." Black Ice said.
"Damn it. I thought I got rid of them all on this floor." Helios growled. "These jerks are persistent." The thugs then proceeded to surround the two young metas. Seeing this Helios stepped away from Black Ice and turned to face the thugs. "Guess I'll have to deal with them again." She hears movement behind her and she turns around to see Black Ice standing back to back with her.
"I take it that these aren't friends of yours?" Black Ice questions.
"No they are not." Helios replied.
"How about we both take them down together and after this, we return to our fight." Black Ice suggested. "Deal?"
"You got yourself a deal Goth Elsa." Helios said.
"Then let's take them down." Black Ice said forming her ice hammer.
"Take them out!" The lead thug ordered.
The thugs all aimed their rifles at Helios and Black Ice. Helios shot a plasma ball at three of the thugs knocking them down. Black Ice ran towards two of the thugs and smacked them with her ice hammer.
Black Ice turns her attention to another thug and hits him with her hammer. Another runs up to her but Helios leaps over Black Ice and shoots a yellow beam at him taking him down. Helios then turns to Black Ice and the two stare each other down before they turn their attention to the thugs.
Then Black Ice shot some icicle shards at some of the thugs. Helios Shoots a plasma ball at some thugs, but they jumped out of the way. Then Black Ice and Helios both charge a beam of their power at the thugs.
Once they were finished all the thugs were either dead or unconscious. Once they were finished, Helios and Black Ice turned to face each other.
"That takes care of that." Helios said as she formed her sun beams and held them like swords. "Shall we continue?" Black Ice forms her own ice blades.
"Let's." She responds before the two swing their blades at each other.
Back in the main lobby, Haggar elbows slams two thugs on the ground. Then puts another thug in a head lock. "How the hell is the chief ripped. I figured he would be stuck behind a desk?!" Squatch asked.
"I have no idea!" Johnny replied.
"Back in the day I was a pro wrestler." Haggar said. "Went undefeated for years until I decided to retire and become a cop. But just because I was done wrestling didn't mean I stopped taking care of myself. I hit the gym everyday. Gotta keep up these guns somehow." He flexes his arms to show off.
"Glad you're still in shape Chief." Speed Queen replied as she pressed a button on her watch. "Any signs of Surge yet?"
"Still looking." Mr. Cuddles responded. "So far I haven't found neither her or Nuke. Any clues on where they could've went?" Speed Queen thinks about as she ducks a swing from Candyman's cane hammer.
"All I know is Nuke blasted the ceiling and flew up." Speed Queen answered.
"You know it's rude to talk on the phone during battle!" Candyman shouted while shaking his fist.
"I'm in the middle of something!" Speed Queen retorted.
"I'll teach you a lesson in manners!" Candyman shouted.
Candyman swung his cane hammer around at Speed Queen. But she quickly dodged the strikes at full speed. "I'm really starting to hate this guy." Speed Queen thought.
"Alright Speed Queen I think I have an idea on where Surge and Nuke went." Mr. Cuddles reported. "Fifteenth floor and from the looks of it there's no one up there so Nuke wanted Surge all for himself."
Nuke throws Surge to the ground, As Surge gets up she looks at her surrounds and it look like a testing lab. "Why did you kidnapped me and brought me up here?" Surge asked with rage in her voice.
"Simple Second Rate." Nuke said. "I want you all to myself with no interference." His eyes glow yellow. "I'm gonna drain you dry." He fires a powerful energy beam at Surge who dives out of the way to avoid it.
"Holy shit that looked powerful." Surge gasped. "Snap out of it Surge. I gotta take Nuke down, even if it's by myself."
"Come on second rate! Show me what you got!" Nuke shouted.
"You're crazy you know that!?" Surge shouted back as she stood up and fired an energy beam at Nuke only for him to put his hand up and absorb the energy.
"Wow that barely even felt like anything when I absorbed it." Nuke taunted. "You really are weak."
"Ok, I need to think of a new plan." Surge thought.
"Anything you throw at me, I'll just absorb it and grow stronger." said Nuke.
"I'll show you who's weak." Surge growled before flying forward and trying to hit him with an energy fist but Nuke catches it with his hand.
"Pathetic." Nuke said before kneeing Surge in the stomach. "I thought you learned something new by now."
"I learned that you're really pathetic for picking on a kid." Surge said.
"Please it's what I do." Nuke said before hitting Surge with an energy punch of his own. "You have nothing on me kid."
Surge gets back up as Nuke walks towards her. "Come on Surge, you gotten out of jams before." Surge said to herself. "Just think of something."
"What was it you keep telling me?" Nuke taunted. "Oh that's right. You're not second rate. If that's the case, when you gonna prove it?" Surge fires a everybeam at Nuke hitting him in the face which in turn created a small smoke screen. Within the smoke she sees two yellow lights glow.
"No way." Surge said trembling. The smoke vanishes to reveal a pissed off Nuke who's eyes were glowing yellow.
"Cute." He says. "Time to show you how outclassed you are."
Nuke began shooting powerful energy blasts at Surge, to which all she can do is dodge them, but one managed to hit Surge causing her to fly back and hit a wall. Surge groaned as she got back up. Nuke then gave Surge an uppercut to the face knocking her down.
Nuke then picks her up and throws her into some of the equipment in the lab. As Surge struggles to get up, Nuke grabs her by the back of her costume to sit her up. He then forms a small ball of energy in his hand and thrusts it into Surge's chest sending her flying where she crashes through the door of testing lab. Surge tries to sit up but can't. She raises her head and her vision goes in and out of focus as she sees Nuke approach her.
"You're definitely tougher than you look second rate." Nuke said. "But you're still weak."
"You are nothing more but a loud mouth jackass." Surge said. Nuke didn't say a word he just kneed Surge in the gut. Then tossed her asides and charged up a giant ball of energy.
"Any final words before you die?" Nuke growled. "Make them good so they can be put on your tombstone."
"Yeah. The Calvary is here meathead!" Surge said.
Nuke looks at her confused when he's suddenly hit with a jumping knee from Speed Queen sending him flying back. Speed Queen then turns to Surge and helps her up.
"You ok?" Speed Queen asked.
"Been better." Surge answered. "He demolished me. Soothsayer was right, I do need more training."
"Yeah I think we all do." Speed Queen agreed.
"Wow the great Speed Queen admitting she's weak." Nuke said as he stood up. "Now that's funny." He presses his earpiece. "Hey Johnny. I have a friend of yours up here. Mind dealing with her?"
"With pleasure." Johnny responded.
Speed Queen was then hit with an unseen force to the ground and it revealed to be Johnny Speed. "You shouldn't have ran off like that blondie." Johnny said.
"Johnny." Speed Queen scowled.
"You know Willy was pretty insulted when you just ran off from the fight." Johnny told her. "I can assure you that there's no running from me."
"Wanna bet?" Speed Queen growled.
"Then prove it blondie." Johnny said.
"Try not to do anything stupid Speed Queen." Surge said.
"I should be the one saying that to you." Speed Queen said before turning to Johnny. "Let's go big boy!" The two then speed out of the room.
"Now where were we?" Nuke asked as he cracked his knuckles.
"I have just the plan to deal with you." Surge said as she glared at Nuke.
"Oh really?" Nuke questions with a laugh. "You have a plan? Should I be afraid?" Surge clenches her fists before looking right at the older meta.
"You're damn right." She says as her eyes glow yellow.
Sharpshot fired two arrows at Phantom and Xander. But Xander catches the arrow and threw aside while Phantom dodged it.
"You had to do better than that laddie." Phantom said.
"How about this?" Xander growled before uppercutting Phantom where he's then hit by a kick from Wildgirl in kangaroo form. Wildgirl then turns to Xander.
"Your turn." She growled. Xander smiles and holds his hands out to the side.
"Then by all means bring it on luv." He challenged.
Wildgirl hopped towards Xander as he swinger his machette at Wildgirl but she managed to get out of the way and deliver another kick to Xander. Xander recovered from the attack and tackles Wildgirl to the ground.
"It's been a while since I've hunted a kangaroo." He says as he prepared his hunting knife only to get it blasted out of his hand. He looks up to see Gamer with her blasters aimed at him with Beast and Reaper on either side of her.
"Get him." Gamer ordered. The two girls nod and rush forward weapons ready.
Xander attempted to grab Beast and Reaper by the necks but they dodged the grabs slashed the hunter by the sides. Xander groaned in pain as he gets a roundhouse kick from Beast.
"That's for hunting down kangaroos!" Beast shouted.
Reaper was about to deliver a kick of her own, but Xander grabs her by the ankle and threw her to a wall.
"You ain't no grim reaper luv." Xander growls before punching Beast in the gut. Cherry Bomb prepares to go in for a strike but Phantom punches her to the side. He then turns his attention to Xander with his shillelagh in hand.
"Forget about be lad?" He says. He then swings his shillelagh and hits Xander in the side. Xander swings at him but Phantom ducks and hits him in the knee forcing him down before hitting a spin kick to the back of his head knocking him down face first.
"You damn bastard." Xander growled.
Xander gets back up And punched Phantom in the gut and then an uppercut to the face. Phantom then whacked Xander again with his shillelagh. "Looks like I'm about this beat this British Hunter." Phantom smirked.
"Don't get cocky mate." Xander growled and rushes forward. Phantom swings his shillelagh but Xander catches it. The two then have both two hands on the shillelagh trying to rip it out of each other's hands.
"Don't forget about me you monsters!" Wildgirl shouted before going t-rex. The two metas stop fighting and turn their attention to the new threat. She roars and takes a step forward when everyone hears a loud cracking sound.
"Um what was that?" Beast asked.
"Um, lad what floor we on?" Phantom questions Xander.
"Eighth." Xander replied when realization hits him. "Uh oh."
"This was a bad idea." Wildgirl said right before the floor collapsed beneath them causing the three metas to fall through the floor leaving the L-Angels alone.
"Well that was anticlimactic." Sharpshot said. "Hey Gamer how's that download?"
"Seventy-five percent done." Gamer replied. "Well at least we got some action.
A few floors below them Amplifier, Firecracker and Crystal Princess were locked in battle with Pike and Virus who were also trying to destroy each other.
"My blades will taste your blood!" Pike shouted.
"No you won't!" Crystal Princess shouted.
Firecracker threw fireballs at Virus' data rings destroying them. Before Virus could fire back he hears something. "What the hell is that?" He asked.
"Sounds like something crashing through the ceiling." Amplifier replied. They all look up at the ceiling and seconds later a t-rex comes crashing through it along with Xander and Phantom.
"Aw shit." Pike cursed before Wildgirl landed right on top of him and going right through the floor with the resulting impact causing Virus, Amplifier, Firecracker and Crystal Princess to fall through as well.
"Well this sucks!" Firecracker shouted as they fell.
Speed Queen and Johnny Speed were running down floor to floor until they both threw a punch that collided with each other blasting them back. "Give up Johnny! You're not going to win and you're going back to the Dungeon." Speed Queen said.
"I ain't going back blondie." Johnny replied.
"Never said you had a choice!" Speed Queen retorted. They speed around stopping once in a while to land some blows on each other. Speed Queen goes for a double spin kick but Johnny ducks it and goes for a uppercut but Speed Queen blocks it before they run off again.
The two speedsters continue to throw punches and kicks at each other, but they both dodge and blocked each other's attacks. They both stopped to catch their breath until they both ran towards each other at full speed and both punched each other in the face.
"That all you got?" Johnny grunted.
"Hardly." Speed Queen responded.
Before the two speedsters can go again, a t-Rex crashed through the felling with Xander, Phantom, Virus, Pike, Firecracker, Amplifier and Crystal Princess crashing through as well, the t-Rex crashed through the floor that Speed Queen and Johnny Speed were standing on causing them to fall as well.
"I don't know how but this is your fault Speed Queen!" Johnny shouted.
"Shut it Johnny!" Speed Queen shouted back.
Back in the Lobby, Armor gets thrown at a wall by Golden Tiger. Genarocker is blocking off Squatch's attacks with her giant fists. Carolborg fired a missile at Squatch, but it had no effect on him.
"That tickled." Squatch says before hitting Carolborg with a hard punch sending her crashing into the lobby desk. "But I'm sure that didn't."
"God he's strong." Carolborg groaned.
"Damn right." Squatch said as he caught a punch from Genarocker. "Hey Willy, I got you a playmate!" He then tosses the teen meta towards his psychotic partner.
"Oh goodie!" Candyman said from where he was fighting Parkour. He hits Parkour with his hammer before hitting Genarocker out of air with the same hammer.
"Who's next?" Squatch challenged.
"Me next!" Squatch turned and saw Petty only a few feet away. Seeing this, the hairy meta smiled.
"Bring it tiny." He growled.
Petty runs towards Squatch and punched him in the gut and elbows Squatch in the face. "Petty Smash!" Petty shouted as he continued to beat up Squatch.
Squatch grabs Petty's fist and punched Petty in the gut. "Nice try punk!" Squatch said as he continued to beat up Petty.
"Petty no punk!" Petty shouted before punching Squatch in the jaw with his free hand causing Squatch to stumble back.
"Lucky punch." Squatch growled.
Squatch gave Petty an uppercut and a left hook, but Petty managed to recover and rams Squatch to the ground with his shoulder. "Petty hate hairy monster!" Petty said.
Squatch hits Petty with a jab before getting up. The two glare at each other before charging at each other where they lock hands and try to overpower each other with Squatch gaining the upper hand.
"Looks like I win pinky!" Squatch said a smirk on his face.
"Me not done yet." Petty grunted.
Crush him. He's taunting you and you're not doing anything about it.
"Petty trying." Petty growled.
Sure you are. But still, you're the one who beat Armageddon. Hairball here got his ass kicked. Remind him who won against Armageddon.
"Petty will win this time!" Petty shouted.
I doubt you will win. Face it, you're a goner, just give up. You're not as strong as Rubbor.
"Who the hell you talking too?" Squatch growled. Suddenly Petty pushes up causing Squatch to stumble back. Once he recovered he's then met with a Superman punch from Petty.
"PETTY SMASH!" Petty roared before charging forward.
Petty jabbed Squatch in the face and began to beat the living hell out of Squatch. He gave Squatch both a left and right hook and even kicks Squatch in the chest causing him to land on the ground. Then Petty jumps in the air and elbow slams Squatch's chest.
Petty then picks Squatch and slams him to the ground.
"That all you got?" Squatch groaned.
Petty roared as he punched Squatch in the face knocking him out cold. "Oh my." Candyman gasped.
"Damn Petty." said Genarocker.
Petty roared again and stared at the down Squatch.
Finish him. We both know he deserves it.
Petty growled and slowly started to approach Squatch.
"Um Petty what are you doing?" Multiple Girl asked from where she was fighting Golden Tiger.
"Oh God I think he's gonna kill Squatch!" Ms. Appear shouted as she ducked a punch from Zoya.
"Wait what?" Zoya shouted. "Stop your monster before he kills my uncle!" Suddenly an orange blur rushes past everyone and next thing Petty sees is Tongri standing between him and Squatch in a defensive position.
Kill the tiger too. He's just in the way.
Petty hesitates as he and Tongri stare each other down. After what seems like forever Petty uncleches his fist and sighs.
"No. Mama say killing bad." Petty said. "And Tongri is Petty's friend. Me no kill."
Pathetic. But it doesn't matter. You'll break soon you always will.
"Petty no break." Petty said.
"You sure about that?" Before Tongri can react he's smacked aside as a very angry Squatch gets back to his feet. "I'm gonna rip you apart."
"Tongri!" Petty cried out as the anger built up within on. "You no hurt Petty's friend!"
"Then do something about it." Squatch growled. The two prepare to lunge at each other when they hear a cracking sound. "What the hell was that?"
"It appears to be coming from above us." Prodigy said. Suddenly the ceiling comes crashing down with Wildgirl as a t-rex, Firecracker, Amplifier, Speed Queen, Xander, Pike, Virus, Phantom and Johnny Speed come crashing through it right on top of Squatch and Petty.
"Nice of you guys to drop in." Ms. Appear said as she laughed while everyone groaned at that joke.
"Really Ms. Appear?!" Firecracker groaned in pain from the fall and how bad that joke was.
"Dudes are we back in the lobby?" Amplifier asked as she rubbed her head. She's then lifted off the pile suddenly and finds herself on Petty's shoulders who also let out a groan.
"Hi mama." Petty said.
"Hey big guy. You good?" Amplifier asked petting his head.
"Petty good." Petty replied. "Hairy man hunt Tongri."
"Hairy man? Oh you mean Squatch." Amplifier said.
"Dang it Wildgirl why are you a t-rex on the eighth floor?" Crystal Princess groaned.
"Lack of judgement." Wildgirl admitted after she turned back to human.
"You didn't think It through." Speed Queen said.
"No I did not." Wildgirl replied.
They hear some of the rubble moving and see the others popping out and getting to their feet.
"So that's how you wanna play it huh Wildgirl." Xander growled. He grabs Phantom and throws him away. "That's for costing me my trophy!" Phantom gets to his feet and glares at Xander.
"Aw where's your sense of fun lad?" Phantom asked.
"I know where my sense of fun is. Killing the four in front of me until that giant lizard crashed down." Pike said.
"Whatever, I didn't even wanted to be there." Virus said.
Squatch then gets up and let's out growl. "Enough of this shit!" He then slams his fists on the ground sending everyone around him flying back. When they recovered they saw that they were with their respective groups.
"Ok we all need to take out Squatch along with the rest of the Terror Crew, Xander and Pike." Speed Queen said.
"How do we do that?" Multiple Girl asked.
"Simple." Firecracker answered. "Together."
They hear an explosion from upstairs and they see Black Ice get launched off the second floor where she lands in the arms of Parkour.
"Hey sis where've you been?" Parkour asked.
"Upstairs fighting Helios." Black Ice said as the meta in question lowered herself from the second floor to stand next to her uncle.
"When did you two get down here?" She asked.
"Not long luv." Xander replied. "Wildgirl misjudged how much weight the eighth floor could hold."
"Oh so that's what that noise was." Helios said.
"Look we got the stuff let's just leave." Virus said to Johnny who shook his head.
"Can't. Nuke is still having fun with Surge so we can't leave yet." Johnny said. "Besides, I think we should still have some fun. Kill some heroes, cops, security and annoying villians who interfered. So let's have fun."
"Let's take these guys out." Speed Queen said.
Petty roars and charges towards Squatch as did the rest of the L-Crew towards the other villains. Black Ice fired an ice beam at Helios, but she dodged the ice beam and fired a plasma beam at Black Ice.
Genarocker forms a giant sword and begins her sword fight with Pike. Crystal Princess jumps up in the air and shoots crystal shards at Pike.
Golden Tiger exchanges blows with Parkour who swings on his one fist and hits a dropkick followed by Armor hitting an uppercut. Virus struck Amplifier with a data ring fist but Amplifier counters with and electric kick to the face.
Carolborg stood along the outside of the chaos firing her blasters at Terror Crew thugs as they battled cops and Tetherby Industries security. One thug tried to attack Carolborg from behind but got suplexed by Haggar for his troubles.
Wildgirl morphs into a Panther and lunged towards Xander. Xander blocks the attack, but Wildgirl managed to slash Xander's face. Parkour ran towards Phantom and shoulder tackles him and begins to beat up Phantom until Phantom smacks her aside.
Candyman turns his cane into a minigun and starts firing randomly into the crowd only to get hit by a fireball from Firecracker who's then hit by Candyman's cane hammer. Multiple Girl then runs up and punches Candyman in the gut before hitting a thrust kick on him. Prodigy levitated above the battle as she levitated several thugs into the air and threw them around the lobby while Greenthumb created a giant Venus flytrap which grabbed and threw thugs all over while Speed Queen and Johnny ran the permiter of the lobby so fast that when they jumped they looked like they were flying while they struck each other with super fast blows.
"This is chaos." Carolborg shouted. She then sees Squatch punch Petty away who then turned to her.
"You're mine robot!" He growled before running towards her.
Carolborg's human eye twitched and she growled in rage. "I. Am. A. CYBORG!" Carolborg shouted as she formed both of her arms into a mega cannon and fired it at Squatch. "YOU WAlKING HAIRBALL!"
The blast hit Squatch as Carolborg continues to fire it when a large hand pops through and grabs Carolborg by the head canceling the blast and lifted her up.
"I don't give a damn if you're a robot or a cyborg or whatever." Squatch growled as he his other arm grabs one of her legs and lifts her up. "You still break." He then slams her down back first across his knee causing Carolborg to scream in pain.
"Carolborg!" Speed Queen called out.
"She got the Bane treatment." Firecracker cringed.
"Time to break you apart." Squatch said.
"Not happening hairball!" Parkour said before leaping onto Squatch and punching him in the head while Prodigy checked on Carolborg.
"Carolborg can you hear me?" Prodigy asked. Carolborg's human eye opens and she grabs Prodigy's arm.
"M-my b-back." Carolborg groaned. "It h-hurts. Why does it hurt?"
"I don't know." Prodigy admitted. "But we must get you out of here." She presses her watch. "Soothsayer we require assistance. We need to get Carolborg out of here."
"I'm on my way Prodigy. Try to get her outside where it'll be easier to escape." Soothsayer told her.
"We're on our way." Prodigy said as she hangs up and lifts up Carol with her telekinesis as she winced in pain. "Teammates! Cover me!" Prodigy shouted as she ran towards the exit.
"Hey I wasn't done with that robot!" Squatch shouted as he grabbed Parkour's fist and tossed her aside.
He charges after her shoving police officers and security guards aside like they were nothing only stopping when Armor appeared in front of him held his waist in an effort to stop him.
"Hurry Prodigy." Armor grunted. "I don't know how much longer I can hold him."
Prodigy nodded as she ran outside of the building. "We're outside of the building!" Prodigy shouted to her watch.
"Excellent." Soothsayer replied. "Please stand by."
"Hurry!" Carolborg winced in pain.
Soothsayer then appeared next to them. "I have arrived." He says. He then touches Carolborg. "Good luck Prodigy." He and Carolborg then teleport away.
"Now that Carolborg is safe I should join the others." Prodigy said before running back into the building.
Amplifier blasts down data rings with her lightning orbs while Firecracker joined in and shot some fireballs at some more data rings and then throws a fireball at Virus.
Genarocker forms a junk cannon and fires rumble at Squatch, Squatch recovered from the attack only to be eaten by a Venus Flytrap. But he punched his way out of the monster plant.
Xander blocked a kick from Phantom who then counters with another from his other leg causing him to stumble into Wildgirl who went Wildebeest and rammed him.
"Guys a little help over here!" Multiple Girl shouted as she was being swarmed by several thugs.
"Multiple Girl's in trouble!" Firecracker said.
Multiple Girls tried to fight off the thugs but they began to over swarm her. "YEE-HAW!" A voice is heard and all of a sudden Ryker comes right through the front door on his motorcycle.
"Ryker!" The L-Crew members exclaimed.
"I spent all morning at the damn DMV just so I can get a damn motorcycle license and then I spent another three hours at the courthouse just to get a gun license. And now I'm looking for a fight. " Ryker growled before pulling his guns out and firing at the thugs swarming Multiple Girl. Once several were taken down Multiple Girl was able to clone herself and took down the rest of them.
"Who's the cowboy?" Candyman asked as he blocked the Crystal Princess's crystal blade.
"He calls himself Ryker." Golden Tiger growled as he punched Petty causing the rubber monster to stumble back. "A cowboy from the past."
"A cowboy from the past? Interesting." Candyman said.
Ryker is shooting down some thugs with his guns. "Boy Ryker looks pissed." Firecracker said.
"When you're sixteen, you'll know what a pain the DMV will be." Speed Queen sai as she gives Johnny a uppercut.
"It's totes no fun." Multiple Girl added.
"Especially the lines." Armor said with a shiver.
"I'm not looking forward to that." Firecracker said as he threw a fireball at a random thug.
"You got plenty of time." Amplifier replied. "Enjoy your life."
"Too bad he won't live long enough to enjoy it!" Pike shouted as he lunged at Firecracker.
Firecracker shot a fire stream at Pike, while Amplifier fired an electric blast at Pike, knocking him down but not out. Pike gets back with second degree burns on his skin.
The burns heal but before Pike can attack again he's struck by a data ring from Virus.
"I ain't done with you yet you psychotic bastard." Virus said. Pike turns to him with a psychotic grin on his face before running at him when suddenly a yellow beam blasts the ground between them. Everyone looks up and sees Nuke lowering himself through the hole in the ceiling holding an unconscious Surge.
"That's enough of that." Nuke says.
"Surge!" Armor shouted. "You monster what did you do to her?"
"Don't worry she's alive." Nuke replied before tossing Surge to the ground. "She put up a fight but she stood no chance. In the end she wasn't even worth killing."
"No one. NO ONE HURTS MY SISTER!" Armor shouted as he ran towards Nuke. While Armor was running he grabs one of Crystal Princess' discarded crystals and coats his body in crystal.
He then leaps up turns his hand into a hammer and swings it at Nuke who gets hit hard in the face knocking him out of the air to the ground. Once Armor is back on the ground he runs forward again and hits Nuke again as he's starting to get up. He hits him several times before Nuke dodges the last hit.
"Cute." Nuke said as he prepared an energy blast with one of his hands. "My turn." He then hits Armor with a full power energy blast that engulfs him. Once Nuke is finished Armor is still standing but collapses to the ground.
"Pathetic." Nuke said as he walked up to the unconscious Armor. "Just like your sister second rate."
"Nuke." Johnny said calmly. "We're done here." Nuke nods and joins his crew. "Zoya we're leaving." Zoya looks up from where she was fighting Ms. Appear and joins her uncles. They then turn to leave.
As they start to walk out Speed Queen couldn't help but be confused. They were leaving? Just like that? No way. She needed answers.
"Johnny!" Speed Queen shouted. "Are you really leaving?" Johnny stopped. "You show up, put innocent lives in danger and then just leave without stealing anything? What are you planning?!" Johnny turns to face her and smirks.
"Who said we didn't steal anything?" Johnny said as Virus held up a flash drive. "Sure there's items here worth millions maybe even billions. I should know I robbed this place before. But the thing we got on that flash drive is worth more to us than anything in this building. And it's the cheapest thing here."
"But why go through all the trouble?" Speed Queen demanded. "You could've snuck in and stolen whatever you stole without anyone noticing. Why do it like this?" Johnny just chuckles.
"Because I wanted to see the look on your face when I told you this." He walks up to her and leans in so his face is next to her ear. "Your time is running out Speed Queen. The end of the L-Crew is coming and you're gonna be helpless to stop it." He then backs up and rejoins his crew. "That's the only reason those three are still alive because I can guarantee that they'll want to witness you're destruction." He then turns and snaps his fingers causing all the surviving thugs to run up to run outside. "See you around L-Crew."
"Hold it Johnny! You and your gang are under arrest!" Haggar shouted.
"Tell it to my ass." Johnny responded. "Candyman if you would be so kind as to provide cover please."
"Glady." Candyman said as he pressed a button on his cane and a flash bang is fired in the air blinding all of the L-Crew and the cops. Once their vision clears up the Terror Crew and their gang are gone.
"Damn it they got away!" Firecracker groaned.
"How do people just vanish like that?" Wildgirl asked. "I mean you'd think there'd be a sign or something of them leaving you know?"
"I'm baffled by that too Wildgirl and I'm the genius of the team." Prodigy said.
"I would have loved to get revenge on Nuke for what he did to Surge." Firecracker growled.
"That can wait." Haggar said. "There's still three others we can arrest. Xander. Helios. Pike. You three are under arrest." He turns to where they were standing but sees that they were gone. "Or they could run off while we were distracted." He sighs. "Can we arrest anyone anymore?"
"You arrested Miller and Spirit." Crystal Princess reminded him.
"You got a point there." Haggar said. He turns to his officers. "Go around and arrest any Terror Crew stragglers that the Terror Crew may have left behind."
"Yes sir." Some the cops said as they began to search the building.
"We can handle the rest L-Crew. You should get the rest from the fight." Haggar said.
"No we're gonna stick around for a little while longer." Speed Queen said. "Just in case there's any surprises." Haggar is about to say something else when they hear footsteps approaching. Everyone turns and see Andrew Tetherby making his way into the lobby.
"Mr. Tetherby." Haggar said. "Are you alright sir?"
"I'm fine. I was in my safe room when the attack happened." Tetherby replied. "I was given the all clear so I can look at the damage."
"Well the L-Crew came in and help take down the Terror Crew." Haggar said.
"The L-Crew are here? I haven't seen them since that party at the Mayor's house." Tetherby said.
"Mr. Tetherby." Speed Queen said making herself known to the man. "We're glad they didn't find you."
"Yes it is a good thing they didn't." Tetherby said. "Would've been bad overall." Speed Queen looked at him suspiciously. He seemed calm. A little too calm.
"You seem awfully calm considering what just happened." Speed Queen pointed out.
"The Terror Crew didn't reached my office on the top floor. I didn't see it as a Assassination attempt, just an attack on my company." Tetherby replied in a calm manner
"The Terror Crew didn't steal anything, well physical that is." Speed Queen began. "They have a flash drive probably containing information that the public doesn't know about."
"I'm sure it's nothing." Tetherby assured her. "If anything it's old schematics I had saved up. What they plan on doing with those is interesting but it's probably nothing. However there was a breach on the eighth floor. Someone was hacking into one of my computers. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you Speed Queen?" Speed Queen narrows her eyes and clenched her fists before taking a deep breath.
"If you're insinuating that we had anything to do with that then I can assure you that we didn't." The speedster replied. "My entire team were busy fighting off the Terror Crew as well as Xander, Pike and Helios. Which begs the question Mr. Tetherby, when Haggar called us he only mentioned the Terror Crew. So I must ask, how did Xander, Pike and Helios get in the building undetected? Furthermore, how did they get so far in with out alerting security?"
"Hm I have no idea. Xander must have disabled the security cameras. But I'm uncertain how Pike and Helios got here. They don't look like the sneaking in type." Tetherby said.
"I see." Speed Queen said.
"I don't see why you're suspicious Speed Queen." Tetherby said. "If anything this whole attack is the fault of the L-Crew."
"Our fault?" Speed Queen asked. "How is it our fault?"
"Let's see, if you had caught the Terror Crew when they first formed none of this would've happened. The Terror Crew wouldn't be running nearly every gang in the city, they wouldn't have recruited some of the most dangerous criminals in the city like Candyman, Payback, Phantom, Virus and the Golden Tiger. Perhaps the child that was with them would be living a better life. But because you failed, they've risen to power and attacked my company putting people in danger." Tetherby told her. "In a way it's your fault the Terror Crew are as powerful as they are."
"We're trying to put those guys back in the Dungeon." Speed Queen replied.
"Well clearly the L-Crew has failed once again." Tetherby said. "There are times where I think the jury should have thrown you and your siblings in the Dungeon."
"Mr. Tetherby that's enough." Haggar said. "I get what you're saying but the L-Crew are working hard to capture the Terror Crew and put them behind bars."
"Well Chief. Maybe you shouldn't put your trust in children." Tetherby said.
"Last I checked these children put away some of the most dangerous criminals Royal Woods has ever seen." Haggar said. "Some of which were literal monsters."
"Perhaps." Tetherby said. "Perhaps I was to harsh. I guess I should be thanking you for protecting my company from the Terror Crew."
"You're welcome." Speed Queen said with a cold reply. "And for the record Armor and I are seventeen, we're almost adults."
"Well good for you then." Tetherby replied. "Now if you excuse me I have to take care of my men. Should I assume your wizard friend will be arriving to repair my building?"
"Yeah he'll be here." Speed Queen responded. "Now if you excuse us, we gotta take care of our wounds. Our wizard friend will be by later."
"You better not keep him waiting." Tetherby said as he began to walk away from the L-Crew.
"Come on guys. Let's head back to base." Speed Queen said as she and the rest of the L-Crew began to exit the building with Genarocker carrying the unconscious Surge.
"Petty grab Armor." Amplifier ordered the rubber monster who picked up Armor and laid him across his shoulder. Amplifier then walks to the front and joins Speed Queen. "Sis? You alright?"
"Amplifier if I wasn't sure then I'm a hundred percent sure now." Speed Queen said. "Tetherby can't be trusted."
"You're certain sis?" Amplifier asked.
"His company was under by the Terror Crew and he was all calm and collective." Speed Queen said.
"So?" Amplifier questions. "Maybe he was like that because we successfully chased off the Terror Crew."
"Amplifier are you telling me you aren't getting a weird vibe off of him?" Speed Queen asked.
"Maybe you're reading too much into this sis. Besides you've been getting that weird vibe from him ever since the party at the Mayor's house." Amplifier said.
"And you haven't?" Speed Queen argued. Amplifier doesn't respond. "Amplifier trust me when I say that all of this just doesn't feel right and Tetherby is in the center of it."
"What if he's not and we just wasted a good chunk of our time?" Crystal Princess asked.
"Remember Stuart? We all thought he was on our side. But he was involved in Rampage, Berserker, Rubbor, Viron, Gorron, Torron an Carolborg." Speed Queen pointed out.
"She's got a point." Firecracker admitted. "Tetherby is kinda suspicious."
"Agreed considering who his father was." Prodigy added. "Let's not forget William Tetherby turned Lincoln on us with the limo fiasco. Our best chance in figuring out Tetherby's motives is with the information the L-Angels got off his computer."
"Speed Queen, this is Sharpshot." Sharpshot called out over Speed Queen's watch. "We got the files from the server room. We'll meet you back at HQ."
"Thanks Sharpshot. Soothsayer we'll teleport us back to base." said Speed Queen.
"Most certainly." Soothsayer replied. Soothsayer then appeared along side them and teleported everyone to base.
When they arrived they saw that Mr. Cuddles was stepping out of his workshop with a rag wiping off his paws. Lori then ran up to the bear.
"How's Carol?" She asked. Mr. Cuddles sighed.
"I did everything I could." He said. "But I can't get her back panel open!" Everyone looks at him confused.
"Back panel?" Luan repeated.
"The panel on her back." Mr. Cuddles explained. "If I can get that open I can easily repair her spine since her spine is robotic now. But I can't get the damn panel open!"
"Oh." Everyone said in unison.
"Need a hand?" Lynn offered. "I might be able to get it open."
"Actually Lynn, I need Sam." Cuddles told her. "Her back panel is something Carol has to open with her thoughts. But since she kinda passed out, we can't do it. So I was thinking Sam could trick Carol's body in opening the panel."
"I'll take a crack at it." Sam said as she walked into the medical bay.
"Alright now for the moment of truth." Lori said. "Stella, you got the flash drive?"
"Paige has it." Stella told her. "Paige, flash drive." Paige walks up and holds up the flash drive.
"One flash drive full of Tetherby projects." Paige said before tossing it to Lori. "Courtesy of the L-Angels."
"Excellent." Lori complimented. She then hands it to Lisa who takes it to the computer.
"Alright Tetherby let's see what you're up to." Lisa says as she plugs the flash drive into the monitor. Once she does that several files up. However there's was a problem.
"Lisa I'm afraid that these files are all encrypted." Martha informed.
"Of course it's encrypted." Paige said.
"Can you unencrypt the files?" Leni asked.
"Yes but it'll take awhile." Martha responded.
"Damn it." Lori cursed as she punched the table.
"Take it easy Lori." Luna said.
"This could take months to decrypted." Lisa said.
"This is so frustrating!" Lori shouted. "I thought we would have something but it looks like we wasted our time."
"Lori. Nothing is a waste of time." Soothsayer said stepping up. "You stopped the Terror Crew before they could do real damage and protected innocents. You should be proud." Lori smiles but before she can say anything a scream was heard from the medbay.
"That was Sam!" Luna shouted before running to the medbay with everyone following her. When they get there they see Carol still on the table but arm was extended with her hand lifting Sam into the air by her throat while Sam was struggling to get free. "Babe what happened?"
"I-i t-think I activated h-her self-defense protocol." Sam choked out. "Her human side is passed out still but the robot part of her is active still."
"I was not excepting that." Lisa said.
"Little help here." Sam begged.
"Hang on Sam!" Luna shouted as she ran towards Sam.
Luna grabs Sam and tries to free her from Carol's grip.
"C-can't breathe." Sam choked out.
"Don't worry babe!" Luna said. "I got an idea." Her hand starts sparking and she touches Carol which in turn forces her to release Sam. It also caused the back panel to open. Luna then comes to her side. "You good?" Sam nods.
"Yeah." She said in a raspy voice before kissing Luna. "I'm fine. Throat hurts a little but hey you got the panel open."
"Ok time to work my magic." Mr. Cuddles said as he began to fix Carol's spine.
"Bad news. The files are encrypted." Luna said.
"Well that sucks." Sam said. "Now what?"
"Well for now we focus on figuring out what the Terror Crew are up to." Lori said. "It's clear that those guys are planning something. We just don't know what yet."
"Shame we don't know what they exactly stole." Bobby said. "But I don't think Tetherby is too keen on telling us."
"No he won't. Which is why we need to find the Terror Crew and stop them before they steal whatever Tetherby has in store." Lori said.
"But Lori let's not forget the other factor of that attack." Soothsayer reminded her.
"Right. Xander, Pike and Helios." Luan said. "Why were they there and where did they disappear to?"
Tetherby is sitting in his office while Helios is doing her homework, Xander is cleaning his machette and Pike is eating some hot wings. "So you three tried to attack the L-Crew?" Tetherby said.
"I almost had my trophy. But I was interrupted by Phantom." Xander said.
"I almost killed Black Ice, but the Terror Chum's goons got in the way." Helios said.
"I had bloodlust that needed to be quenched." Pike said. "That was fun today."
"But now things have gotten more complicated." Tetherby tells them. "I need you three at our facility tonight. It's time we take action."
"You got it boss." Pike said as he finished the last of his wings.
"I just finished my homework anyway." Helios said as she closed her book.
"Make sure no one follows you, the L-Crew, the Terror Crew and especially the police." Tetherby said. "Understood?"
"No worries mate." Xander said. It's time for the fun to begin."
"Yes, this should be interesting." Tetherby said. "Now go!"
At the facility, Stuart was running final diagnostics on the Multiverse Wormhole generator.
"And one more addition program and that should do it." Stuart said to himself. "I think it's ready."
Stuart pressed a few buttons on the panel and machine began to power up. "It's working!" Stuart cheered.
"Stuart!" Stuart stops what he's doing and sees Xander, Pike and Helios walking in. "Bossman wants the plan to get moving."
"I see." Stuart says. "Well luckily for us, the wormhole is ready for operation. Time to prepare the plan. However the wormhole generator needs some time to warm up but once it's ready, the L-Crew won't know what hit them."
Back at the base Mr. Cuddles was fast asleep by the computer when the monitor turned on suddenly.
"Mr. Cuddles." Martha said. "We have a situation."
"No Harriet we gotta save the princess." Mr. Cuddles said in his sleep.
"MR. CUDDLES!" Martha shouted as Mr. Cuddles jolted awake.
"I'm awake!" Mr. Cuddles exclaimed. "What's wrong Martha?"
"I'm detecting an anomaly." Martha told him. "It seems similar to the one that we received when Lincoln X arrived." Mr. Cuddles looks at the data.
"It's similar and bigger than the one Lincoln X gave off." Mr. Cuddles says. "Soothsayer!" The door to his chambers opens and Soothsayer walks out with a sleeping hat on his head and a teddy bear in his hand.
"What is it Mr. Cuddles?" Soothsayer asked as he yawned. "It's the middle of the night."
"Martha's detecting an anomaly, similar to Lincoln X, but bigger!" Mr. Cuddles said.
"Oh dear. Do you think it's Loki and his evil L-Crew?" Soothsayer questioned. "Or perhaps another evil dimensional threat?"
"I doubt it's them. But we need to call the L-Crew right away." Mr. Cuddles suggested.
"Indeed." Soothsayer said. "Contact them immediately."
"Right." Mr. Cuddles says. "Also should I be flattered or insulted that you sleep with a teddy bear?"
"Perhaps both." Soothsayer suggested.
"I really hate to disturb Lola's beauty sleep, but a superhero works 24/7." Mr. Cuddles said.
"Actually Mr. Cuddles I think it's much worse than that." Soothsayer said seriously. "I believe the L-Crew are about to face the biggest threat they've ever faced before."
