London Burns
Disclaimer: I do not own Captain Planet and the Planeteers. I make no money from this.
"Planeteers. To the Crystal Chamber."
The Planeteers were playing volleyball on the beach. Wheeler and Linka on one side, Kwame and Gi on the other, with Ma Ti the ref. Once they saw her misty image giving them the order they all dropped what they doing and went to the Crystal Chamber.
"What is wrong, Gaia?" Kwame asked.
"Planeteers," Gaia addressed them gravely, "Dr. Blight has been spotted in London. Police are looking for her. Where the incident with Mauret occurred last year."
A silent chill went through each of the Planeteers remembering that dark incident.
"Is this true?" Gi asked with wonder.
"We have all wondered what became of her," Gaia admitted. "She has kept herself well hidden these last nine months. Why has she emerged now? I am worried, Planeteers. I sense that she has a dark plan in her head. Planeteers, go and find her. See what she is up to."
They go into the Geocruiser to London.
Landing on Primrose Hill in the night they got out into the cool evening, the many lights of London around them.
Kwame spoke first. "Mati, find Dr. Blight. Can you sense her?"
Ma Ti used his heart power. After about half a minute sifting through the presences of everyone in London Ma Ti found her. "Dr. Blight is nearby. She is enraged. She is calmly preparing….What. No!"
"What is it, Mati?" Gi asked
"She is going to nuke London!"
"This is her revenge for what happened in our last encounter," Kwame wisely assessed.
Gi hissed that man's name as though one talked of a hated enemy, "Mauret!"
The Planeteers' thoughts went back to that dark day nine months ago in London.
To be continued...
What happened nine months ago? Why is Dr. Blight seeking to destroy London? All will be revealed.
Note: In case you are wondering Mauret is an original character. You havn't missed anything. All will be revealed in coming installments.
