Well, hello again, here's the next chapter of Delta Squad. this chapter is about Aegis' background. i might have left you wondering last chapter of who Aegis is. here's your answer:
"Richard Stevens, get down here this instant!" yells my dad,
"Coming!" I yell back, I jump down the stairs of the second floor and rush into Dad's office a.k.a. his workshop. Dad is a blacksmith of sorts, he makes all sorts of metal objects such as collectable swords, discs, custom plates, etc. "Yeah, what is it?" I ask,
"Care to explain this?" he asks, pointing to one of the many messes on his table.
"I have not been in here for the past three days" I say,"That's one of your own messes."
"Oh, my bad. I keep forgetting that I'm this scattered. Especially since I'm working on some of my own stuff and experimenting with a newly discovered metal, Mythium."
"It's alright dad" I leave the workshop and head to the kitchen. I open the fridge and snag a piece of leftover pizza."Sweet, pepperoni" I take a big bite out of the cold pizza and head up to my room. I crack open my note-book and start drawing some battle plans. Not that I can fight crime like the Avengers, I just like making plans just in case I can help them. Also, according to my football coach, I'm a natural leader. Now battle plans are difficult to draw, you can never anticipate exactly where the enemy will go. I take another bite of my pizza.
I slide my chair over to a second desk, this one has a light, and pull out some mechanical plans for my motorcycle. I do intend to, some way or another, help the police with crime. So far I have designs for a caltrop dropper and an oil slick dropper.I am now working on a concealed dart gun. Luckily I have made all my additions inconspicuous so that the police won't notice them. Although I like their work, sometimes their actions are annoying.
I take another bite of pizza as I put away my blueprints, and then hop downstairs while finishing the slice.
"I'm going out Dad!" I yell,
"When will you be back?" he yells back,
"About 9!"
"Okay, Remember your helmet!"
I open the inside door to the garage and put on my motorcycle helmet. I hit the garage door button and hop on my bike as the doors opening. I love my bike, It looks exactly like a Tron light-cycle. No spokes, some parts glow blue, and it's all painted black. I rev it and drive out to our street. I seriously love this bike. I even have a body suit that is also made to look like it's from Tron (A/N you can tell i like tron right?)
Same with the helmet. I drive off the side street and get on the highway(A/N why isn't it called a lowway?).
I drive for a few miles just plain enjoying the wind. after about thirty minutes I realize that I'm going in the direction of the mall. I go with the flow and drive to the mall. I look at the clock. 8:00pm. I'll have to make this quick. At the mall I grab a waffle-cone frosty from Wendy's. I sit down and eat it. It takes me 15 minutes to finish it. I brush off my hands on my jeans, grab my helmet and body suit, put both on(A/N the body suit goes over normal clothes)
And go outside to my bike. I start it up and drive back home. I arrive at 9:00pm exactly. I walk inside, still wearing my bike outfit, to a horrible scene. Most, if not all the furniture is turned over. And when I walk into my Dad's office and see it messier than it usually is. I also see my Dad lying face-down on the ground.
"Dad!" I yell,
He coughs,"They got me good" he chokes out,
"What happened?"
"Thieves looking for a quick buck *cough* or sent from a group that hates me *cough cough*" he's starting to cough out blood.
"I'll get you a hospital, it'll be alright." I say lifting his shoulder onto mine and pulling him to my bike. I strap him to me and put a helmet on his head. I then drive to the hospital.
(4 hours later)
"Richard?" asks a nurse,
"Yeah, what is it?"
"He didn't make it"
I got up and left. I just couldn't take it. My Dad. Dead. Tears start flowing and don't stop.
(The next day)
I get out of bed and go downstairs to an empty house. I sigh sadly. I go to Dad's office door, open it, and go inside looking for something, anything useful. I see a round shield that's different from everything else. I can't explain how it's different, it's just different. I pick it up to find it extremely light and humming? *tzzzzapp* I release it and fall backwards. My hair is all spiky because of that shock.
"What the hell was that?"
'Me awakening'
"Who the hell is that?"
'The shield you picked up and dropped'
"The hell?"
'I'm Scuto. I have the power of energy dischargement.'
"A super shield?"
'In essence, yes.'
"Scuto was it? Where did you come from?"
'Your father made me. He couldn't figure out how to awaken me though.'
"Are you made of Mythium?"
'Yes'
"So that's what he was working on."
'I believe that you want revenge on the people that killed your father?'
"Yes? What does that have to do with anything?"
'I can help you take out people who harm others for money and those who steal. Like the Avengers? If that's what that crime-fighting group is named.'
"You got it right. So you're suggesting that I become a crime-fighter?"
'Yes'
"Let's get to it"
(so many lines eh? anyway about a week later)
I am patrolling the rooftops and constantly looking down for any criminal activity. I see someone with what appears to be a blowtorch melting through a jewelry store window. I let down a rope from the roof and slide down. When I hit the ground, I walk quietly over to the thief. I see him put on a ring, say something and then giggle. He tosses the ring to his loot sack and I catch it. He stiffens and swings some sort of metal disc attached to a chain towards me.(A/N I'm too lazy to write the battle scene again so just turn your minds back to Ray's fight with Aegis.)
(A day later)
I'm jumping from roof to roof looking for any alley activity. "Wait up!" yells a vaguely familiar voice,
I turn to find the guy who I fought last night following. No use in running from a battle. I grab the shield from by back and ready it.
"Woah, hold on a second, I'm not here to fight"
I relax slightly,"What do you want then?" I ask,
"I want to join you."
"You fought me just last night!"
"Can't a guy change?"
As I open my mouth to retort my shield speaks, 'He also has weapons that are of the same metal as I, and with his skill, he could be of help'
"One moment" I say to the other person, I turn around. "He was against us wholeheartedly last night!" to that my shield responded with
'keep your friends close, and your enemies closer'
"Fine" No one can argue with that saying. I turn back to the person "Okay, you may join me." I say,
He smiles and walks over to me.
"But, you have to tell me your name" I say
"Discus." he says
"Actual name."
"Ray Savage, and you?"
"Richard Stevens. You already know my hero name."
"Yep. When do we start?" he asks,
"Immediately " I respond.
that was big. any way, i forgot to give you the descriptions of Aegis and Discus. and Discus was based on Batman and Spiderman.
Aegis
Richard Stevens
5' 10''
160 lbs
has an electric shield. the electricity can be turned off.
suit: army green denim military jacket over a black muscle shirt. green jeans. as for his mask, think halo's spartan mask and army goggles put together.
brown eyes
brown hair.
Discus
Ray Savage
5' 8''
140 lbs
has his disc and chain watches. his right one emits darkness and his left one uses fire. both powers can be turned off.
suit: black leather jacket with neon blue Delta on the front. black leather pants. mask: think of a Mardi Gras moon mask that's sparkly silver.
black hair
blue eyes
and that's all so far. the next one is about the Iron man rip off. sadly a lot of super powers and heroes have already been done. it's getting harder and harder to make an absolutely original super hero. the next hero is Steel. try guessing the real name. Read and Review!
