gamestomper here yet again, this time with the sequel to TDI:FotF: TDI: Attack of the Underground. This particular story has scenes with torture, but nothing too bad has popped up yet. There is once again violence, some language, and possible gore. Oh yeah, and maybe death. Sadistic things aside, the couples are DxC, TxG, GxB, OxI, TxL, and ExH. Some characters can be OOC, and might very well be. Also, one of my own previous characters from another story has been added as a member of the Underground, as well as a returning minor character from FotF.

Disclaimer: I do not own TDI or any of its characters, but I do own each member of the Underground, and any other minor characters.

FLORIDA- RANDOM HOUSE

"Yes, it appears that the previous threat of evil superhumans has been cleared out thanks to this group of individuals, who we managed to catch footage of............. We could not get an actual interview, but a few viewers have called in to tell us about each of them, so I shall read off their names one by one as this country thanks them for their bravery. Owen... Geoff... DJ... Ezekiel... Duncan... Courtney... Katie... Sadie... Tyler... Harold... Lindsay... Trent... Heather... Leshawna... Izzy... and Gwen... We may not know them all, but this reporter believes that their legend will go down into history. We're gonna take a brief commercial break, but when we return-"

ZAP!

John Bellevue turned off the T.V in anger, getting stares from his other nine friends. He had gotten back from the hospital a few hours ago, when his friends showed him the report that had included that damn girl. The one that just had to be so freaky that it distracted him, and he had been knocked out by a pipe. Anger coarsed through his veins enough that he started to shake violently. His nearest friend, Carlos, put his hand on his hand.

"Calm down man, we don't know if it's the same Gwen," he admitted, trying to calm his friend down before he got too angry. John shook the hand away and stood up, angrily thinking of things to do to that damned goth. He imagined all kinds of things, ranging from strangling her, to firing a couple guns through her body, to even just throwing her off the Empire State Building. He could only think of anger. It just made him so mad that she had sent him to the hospital, and now she was a national hero all of a sudden. Those stupid reporters didn't know how she really was. Finally, John felt his anger build up to its peak, and he shouted to the sky in rage.

"GOD DAMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!" he shouted, clenching his fists extremely tight. The outburst caused his friends to shrink in fear. John could be pretty angry, but he had never been like this before. It was truly frightening. And just when things couldn't get any weirder, John suddenly gasped, and began to laugh crazily. They just exchanged glances, and watched John turn around. He looked like a mess; his hair was slightly frizzy, and his eyes were filled with nothing but crazy that could rival Izzy's. He looked at them, and began to speak, saying the last thing anybody had expected.

"Let's get revenge!" he declared. Josh was the first to speak up.

"Dude, I think you need a little more rest. Now you're just being a little nuts," he spoke, trying to keep John from losing it. But, John shook his head.

"No, I am going to prove that those stupid heroes were nothing but lucky. I already have a plan, and it involves the talents of you guys," John explained. The others perked up, and listened to what this supposed plan was, although still skeptical about John's saneness.

NORTH CAROLINA- SUPERHUMAN SHACK- A FEW DAYS LATER

The heroes were all gathered in the main area, ready to finally say farewell to one another, seeing as how a few people had become homesick. Ezekiel still planned to stay at the shack, as he had for so long, and Harold and Duncan planned to visit the prairie boy from time to time. While most of everyone was going to return to their original home, one person had other plans. Trent had no intention of returning to being known as the flying boy in his hometown, so he was planning to accompany Gwen back home. A few others were a little reluctant to return home, for their own reasons. But, enough about that. Now that everyone said their good-byes to each other, a few groups moved off in different directions to return home. Harold and Duncan headed off toward their hometown a couple miles away from Wawanakwa City, which was still destroyed from their battle. Geoff had taken Owen, Izzy, Heather, and Leshawna back to California, and had just returned for Gwen, Trent, DJ, Cody, and Lindsay. After finishing his quick task, he returned home with Bridgette, Courtney, Katie, and Sadie.

NEW YORK- STREETS

Finally back in his hometown, Geoff let out a loud whoop.

"It is GREAT to be back, baby!" he shouted, pumping his fists in the air. Bridgette and Courtney just chuckled, while Katie and Sadie rolled their eyes in unison. Geoff continued his little celebration, and transported away. The four looked around for a few seconds before they heard Geoff shout from on top of a tall building nearby.

"HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, NEW YORRRRRRRRRRRRRK!!! GEOFF IS BACK!" he screamed into the sky, earning many strange glances from passerbys. Bridgette shook her head, unable to hide a smile. Katie sighed, and spoke.

"That's it, we're going home. See ya Bridgette," Katie waved half-heartily, walking off with Sadie at her heels. Bridgette barely noticed, as Geoff disappeared again. After looking around, Bridgette suddenly felt a tap on her shoulders, and turned around. She nearly jumped at the sight of Geoff standing there, with a huge, innocent grin on his face.

"Stop it!" Bridgette shouted, but her stifled laughter gave away her true meaning. Geoff picked her up bridal style, and took them to his apartment room (through teleportation, of course). But, of course, not without a quick see-ya-later to Courtney

Once back in the room, Geoff set down Bridgette, letting her recover from the sudden move. While she tried to keep complete balance, Geoff noticed how his room looked just as he left it.

"Hmm, guess there wasn't a maid while I was gone," he noted aloud, earning a stare from Bridgette.

"That's because there is no maid, remember? I only help you clean up once, like, every few weeks," Bridgette reminded him, an eyebrow raised and hands on her hips. Geoff looked confused, and Bridgette couldn't help but smile; Geoff could be a clueless little boy sometimes, the way he tried to remember things like that. Bridgette was snapped out of her thoughts as Geoff spoke up.

"Oh yeah, I totally forgot!" he shouted, smacking himself on the forehead. He just chuckled, but Bridgette could see him blushing slightly from embarrassment.

Suddenly, Bridgette felt a tiredness unlike any other she had experienced. In response, she let out a yawn. Geoff took this opportunity to change the subject.

"Someone's sleepy," Geoff teased, his trademark grin returning. Bridgette hit his arm playfully, but nodded.

"Nah, I'll be fine. But, I do feel up to a little walk through the city. It's been a while, after all," Bridgette shrugged, putting her hands in the pockets of her hoodie sweatshirt. Geoff just nodded, but rubbed his eyes a little.

"Well, you do that. I'm gonna turn in. G'night," he waved, walking off to his room.

"Good night, Geoff." The door shut behind him, and there were sounds of Geoff collapsing in bed. Bridgette walked over to the door to leave, shutting off the lights before she left for her walk.

Unfortunately, she didn't hear Geoff suddenly shout upon realizing that he wasn't alone in his bedroom. A second later, his cries were silenced, and two men dragged his body out. One had a baseball bat, while the other was empty-handed.

"You think anyone heard us?" the unarmed man asked. The other looked around.

"I guess not; let's just get this guy back to HQ and move on," he replied. The two hurried out the door, alert if anyone were to spot them.

Phase One was in effect.

NEW YORK- KATIE AND SADIE'S HOUSE

Katie and Sadie looked fearfully at the guns facing them. There was only one guy looking at them, and he held two machine guns, one in each hand. He had a fresh, large bruise on the side of his face.

"You brought this on yourselves; now turn around, hands on your head!" he barked, shaking his guns for emphasis. The two obeyed, and the man pulled both triggers. In a second, the two girls had fallen dead. The man left the house without a word.

CALIFORNIA- SOMEWHERE AMONG THE STREETS

Owen and Izzy quickly ran towards Leshawna's home. Owen had just had a vision of two men capturing Leshawna in her own home and hoped to stop it. They were just two blocks away when Owen collapsed again with another vision; this one showed the same thing happening to Heather. Owen recovered, and was surprised to see Izzy had still been running even when Owen collapsed. She led them inside Leshawna's house, where there were obvious signs of a struggle, but no Leshawna. But, there was a note taped to a nearby overturned table. The two approached the note, and read it over quickly. They exchanged glances, and looked worryingly at each other.

"This is bad," Izzy stated, looking at the note again. Owen stood up, and sighed.

"Very bad," he agreed. Izzy quickly used her telekinesis to rip off a lamp post, and began to scrunch it into a circle. When it was good enough, she hopped up onto it, with Owen following after. With that, Izzy used her powers again to make the two fly into the night, heading southeast.

FLORIDA- CODY'S HOUSE

Cody was watching his radar of the entire city that he had personally built a few years ago to keep a watch on the city. He mainly used it to find broken technology, that he would then go find, and repair. After that, he just kept it in his storage room, for when he would run a small business. It was a little strange how he got into that. It all began when his parents divorced. Before leaving, his dad left Cody a small silver locket, that held a picture of the two when Cody was born, and the other showed when the two built Cody's first robot. Cody supposed it was just a way for him to remember his father, even if he left him and his mom at age 12. Ever since, his mother tried to pretend that things were alright, but Cody used his secret skill to repair things, and return them to their owners to earn money for the two. It was something that crossed Cody's mind at least twice a day, and would probably stick in his head forever.

As he looked for abandoned technology, he saw a suspicious group that seemed to be running rather too quickly to be innocent. He zoomed in, and nearly spit out the water he was drinking; he saw Gwen, Trent, Lindsay, DJ, and Tyler all knocked out, and the men were carrying them. Whatever was going on, it couldn't be good. He decided to zoom in on their homes. The closest was Gwen's, so he searched inside. There was a note left in a little bit of the wreckage. Cody quickly read it to himself. By the time he finished, he was wide-eyed from shock.

"No way! He went this far?!" he shouted incredulously. Cody quickly activated his teleporter prototype that he had constructed earlier, and set it to take him to North Carolina.

NORTH CAROLINA- DUNCAN AND HAROLD'S NEIGHBORHOOD

Duncan and Harold were still walking in the night back towards their homes, where their families were no doubt waiting for them. But, the whole place seemed... too quiet. No lights illuminated the streets, minus Duncan's fireball. It was very unsettling for the duo. Suddenly, there was a sudden whoosh behind them.

"What was that?!" Harold shouted, turning around. Duncan made a larger fireball to show the source of the noise. Or, sources, that is. Looking around, the two noticed that there were four strange guys that they had never seen before, just standing there.

"What do you want?" Duncan asked, lowering his arm slightly. Suddenly, Harold let out a yelp, and fell over. Duncan's eyes darted over quickly, seeing the shine of baseball bat. He quickly elbowed the guy near him, and heard the other four rushing at him. Duncan tried shooting off a small jet of flames, but one of them jumped over the attack, and rammed Duncan with his shoulder. The pyro stumbled back into some trash cans, and had only sit up when he noticed that the group was running away, with Harold in their clutches. Duncan struggled to stand up, and found a small note taped to the ground. He read it over quickly, and then crushed it in his hands.

"Damn it," he whispered. He crumbled up the note, and began running back the way he came.

NEW YORK- OUTSIDE COURTNEY'S HOUSE

Along her walk, Bridgette couldn't help but pass by Courtney's home. She noticed that the door was hanging on its hinges, and felt a little worried. It was unlike Courtney to just leave the door open like that. She stepped inside, and let out an audible gasp. Chairs were overturned, a table was flipped on its side, and a lamp had broken on the floor. There was a note on the underside of the table that Bridgette quickly picked up. It read:

We've got your friends. Now, don't worry, we'll keep them alive... for now. We'll get all of you jerks, and then kill you one by one (except for those Katie and Sadie girls, who we had to get rid of). Better watch your back. By the way, here's a list of who we got so far: Geoff, Heather, Leshawna, Tyler, Gwen, Lindsay, Trent, DJ, Harold, Courtney. You could be next.
-The Underground

Bridgette let her arms droop to the side. They had just defeated Eva, and now another psycho, or psychos wanted to kill them now. And, they had Geoff and Courtney! Not to mention that Katie and Sadie were already eliminated. For a fleeting moment, she remembered that Chris and Chef could revive them as they had for her and Cody.

"Oh wait," Bridgette remembered their words of how it was a one-time deal, and felt her hope become crushed. She took another look at the list, and tried to figure out who was still safe. She wrote it down on the back of the paper, and triple-checked it to make sure that she didn't forget someone. Nope, she had Ezekiel, Owen, Izzy, Duncan, Cody, and herself. With that, Bridgette left the house, and groaned; the others were miles apart from each other. It could take days, weeks, even months to reach them.

"Wait, reach..." she repeated, thinking of an idea. She looked over, and saw two lamp posts. It's worth a shot, she thought. Then, Bridgette spread her body long enough to reach between the two poles, and grabbed hold with her hands and feet. Then, she stretched back, towards Courtney's house. She maneuvered herself around a pole, and looked very much like a human rubber band. She used the stars to figure out directions, and fired herself off to the south, flying through the air.

What happened to the captured heroes? Where are they? Will our five heroes manage to rescue them? Wait, five? Whatever happened to good ol' Zeke? Stay tuned to find out.

Well, the main villain was none other than John Bellevue from Gwen's school of Lakeside High, from FotF. I actually just got this idea when I was looking through my notes, and the idea began forming itself. I feel that this intro is severely lacking, but we need suspense. Ezekiel and the Underground will make their official appearance next chapter, and Chris will make an appearance. BTW, killing off Katie and Sadie was just... they're too bland for me. Besides, I have enough people as is to watch over. But, they'll be taken care of soon enough, heh heh heh.

Ahem, anyway, it appears that the future people will get their own story after all, since I will close the poll after this is posted, and the majority of voters want it as a separate story. So, while keeping an eye on this story, also watch out for that one, which I think I'll call: TDI: Futuristic Adventures. Details will be posted soon after this, and will explain how it'll work, and give an opportunity for the readers to help out with a few things.

Until then, R&R!
