G.O.O.D vs. EV.I.L #6
"This is L.A.M.E."
A special thanks to Cylon One for bringing up the Omnitrix thing, which helped me rewrite much of this story. Also, for the sake of the readers, I will be describing some of the new characters introduced within.
-----------
The sleek black jet known as the Freedom flew across the clear blue skies. Ordinarily, the jet would be on its' way to some unknown location to aid the forces of light. But this time, it was on the run.
"Any sign of them?" Leo asked, his eyes not leaving the windshield in front of him.
"Check it, they're right behind us!" Jake Long shouted, pointing towards the large jet that loomed ominously behind them.
This particular jet was very similar to the Freedom, but was designed more for attack and stealth. Dubbed the Oppression 1, it could cut through the skies like a hot knife through butter, then incapacitate its' foe with a barrage of powerful weapons. Which was exactly why E.V.I.L. owned it.
"Man, I gotta hand it to that Plasmius, his guys do good work" Jack Spicer commented "this plane rocks!"
"Admire it later, Maverick" Magness replied "we have a job to do, remember?"
"Relax, I know exactly what I'm doing" Jack said "a couple of missiles and its' 'so long heroes.'"
Jack pushed the "fire" button and unleashed a duo of missiles towards the Freedom.
Leo's skillful maneuvering avoided one, and one of Danny's blasts took out the other.
"Looks like he took care of those missiles" Jack replied "unfortunately for him, this jet has other weapons. Hey Huntsman, how about giving our pals over there a little taste of our machine guns?"
The Huntsman manned the controls for the weapon. "A bit primitive, but effective nonetheless" he chuckled, before pushing the "fire" button.
A pair of machine guns emerged from underneath the jet and peppered the Freedom with a hail of bullets. Alarms began to blare loudly.
"We've lost the left engine" Leo said "there's no way we can avoid them without it. I'm going to use our remaining power to take us down."
"This thing is equipped with parachutes, right?" Ron Stoppable asked nervously.
"If we parachute out, they'll just shoot us" Jake said "Danny's like, maybe the only one who could fight the jet, but they're probably prepared for that."
Danny nodded his head "I think we need to escape and regroup."
"Permission to wet myself?" Ron asked.
"Dude, we have a bathroom" Danny replied.
-----
Back in Oppression 1, the villains were celebrating their successful run.
"Now that we've got those good guys on the run, it's time to take 'em down" Jack said.
"Actually, looks like they're doing that for us" Magness said, pointing to the jet that was now heading towards the ground. "Follow them down."
"You got it"
-----
Back in the Freedom, the heroes noticed the black jet following them.
"Man, those dudes are still following us!" Jake said "we need a way to dodge 'em."
Leo looked down and saw a forest below "hang on everyone, "I'm taking us down here" he said "if we're lucky, their jet can't land there."
"Can ours?" Ron asked.
"No, but we don't have a choice" Leo replied, pushing the throttle so the jet angled down towards the trees.
"Hey, he's trying to lose us in the forest!" Jack exclaimed.
"Follow him. If we lose them, Vilgax will have our heads" Magness ordered.
"I don't know if the jet can handle…"
"Just do it!"
Jack shrugged and dived downward. Leo stood at the throttle as the jet went down…down…down…and disappeared behind the row of trees. Jack followed, but pulled up at the last minute.
"What are you doing?" Magness shouted.
"I lost my nerve, OK?" Jack replied angrily "it's cool, I'll just shoot a bunch of missiles in there and create one huge bonfire."
"And you may blow them up in the process!" she replied "land this thing, we'll find them on foot."
"Whatever you say Miss bossy" Jack said, flying off towards the horizon.
-----
Meanwhile, back in the forest, the heroes had gotten out of the Freedom, and were surveying its' damage.
"The engine's really shot up, and there are a bunch of holes in the fuselage" Leo said "we're not going to be using this thing for awhile."
"I can just go Upgrade and repair this thing no problem" Ben Tennyson proudly proclaimed.
"In case you forgot, that's why we're in this predicament in the first place" Gwen replied "cause the bad guys are trying to get your Omnitrix. If you use it, they'll track us down no problem. Plus, what if you turn back to normal while we're up in the air?"
"Why can't you ever offer a solution instead of a list of problems?" Ben asked.
I would, but I doubt your pea brain could comprehend it!" Gwen shouted back.
"My brain's not small"
"Well it certainly isn't big!"
"You're ugly!"
"That's the best you can come up with?"
"Hey, both of you knock it off!" Danny said, interjecting in between them and holding the cousins an arm's length apart. "Save your little family arguments for when we get out of here."
"Well that won't be until I can find a way to fix the jet" Leo said "I'll call Donny and have him come over here, but in the meantime, I guess we're staying here. Ben, you Gwen and Ron go into town and get us some supplies."
Gwen was obviously not happy with the idea, but she didn't protest and instead joined her cousin as they headed off.
They emerged from the woods to find themselves in a quaint looking city, looking as average as one would expect.
"Okay, there has to be a supermarket around here somewhere" Gwen said "we should look for that first."
"Good, maybe we can pick up some 'Sumo Slammer' cereal while we're there" Ben replied, "I haven't eaten in a while."
"Could you be serious?" Gwen asked "we're stuck in a city in the middle of nowhere, we have little food or water, and no place to stay. Not to mention that a group of super villains are tailing us!"
"Calm down" Ben said "everything always turns out OK for us."
"Yeah, well…" Gwen replied "right now we have a job to do. Come on, maybe we can ask one of the locals for help. But don't do anything that would draw attention to yourself. Like going alien" she added, glaring at Ben.
"Whatever you say" Ben replied.
As they headed down the street to locate someone to talk to, they were noticed by a pair of tweens. The older of the two, a girl, had long orange hair and wore a yellow tank-top, blue jeans, green sandals, and a green, white & red striped belt.
The shorter of the two also had orange hair, with a small cowlick, and wore a red T-shirt with a black stripe running horizontally across the front and back and fringed with white stripes. The ends of his cuffs & collar were also colored likewise. He also wore green shorts, black shoes and white socks.
"Hey look Todd, new kids" Riley Daring said, pointing to Gwen and the others "let's go introduce ourselves."
"I dunno Riley" Todd replied "mom said we shouldn't talk to strangers."
"But if we introduce ourselves, they won't be strangers, now will they?" Riley asked.
"Okay, I hardly listen to mom anyway" Todd replied and the two siblings approached the heroes.
"Hi, I'm Riley Daring and this is my brother Todd" Riley began "you three must be new here."
"Yes, I'm Gwen Tennyson, and this is my cousin Ben and our friend Ron Stoppable" Gwen explained, shaking Riley's hand.
"Cool name dude" Todd said "it's one of those practical joke names like 'I.P Freely.' That one's my favorite."
"Yeah thanks" Ron replied, slightly miffed.
"So what bring you guys to Pleasant Hills?" Riley asked.
"Oh, um, our…car broke down outside of town and our…dad sent us here to pick up some supplies" Gwen lied.
"So if your parents are here, where are they?" Todd asked accusingly.
"It's just our dad, and he's working on getting a tow truck for the car" Ben explained.
"That's right" Ron added "yup, that's exactly what happened. We are definitely not a team of heroes who crash landed right outside your city."
Gwen slapped her hand to her forehead in disbelief. "You'll have to excuse Ron" she said, "he loves to be funny. Don't you?" she asked, glaring angrily at him.
"Yeah, that was just a joke. The Ron man loves to tell jokes and say funny things, heh heh"
"So where are you staying?" Riley asked.
"Well, we don't really have a place yet…" Gwen began.
"That's awful!" Riley exclaimed "here you are, guests in a new town, and you've got nowhere to stay." Just then, an idea popped into her head "I know, you can stay with my family!"
Todd pulled his sister aside "uh Riley, are you sure that's a good idea? I don't think mom will like that very much. Plus, we don't know much about these guys. They could be just waiting for us to let down our guard, and then bam! our kidneys are gone!"
"Why would they steal our kidneys?" Riley asked, quite confused "never mind, look at them, they're obviously harmless. And mom won't mind, she'll be happy that we're being charitable."
"Okay, but if we wake up tomorrow with no kidneys, don't say I didn't warn ya" Todd replied.
Riley shot her brother a dirty look, then turned towards Gwen. "So what do you say?"
------------------
In the next chapter, our heroes accept Riley's offer, and discover just how bizarre the family truly is. Also, Riley finds herself crushing on one of our heroes (which one could it be?), much to his annoyance.
