The room was spacious, with hardwood floors and beautiful hand-carved furniture. However, the glass had sprinkled over the floor since the expensive coffee table smashed in pieces across it. Inspector Lynn Jameson and Lucy Griswald, code name: Vice Versa were faced off with each other ready to fight in the middle of the glass field. Lucy merely clenched her fists as Lynn held her modified Anaconda colt at her. Brian MacNamara: Codename: Doctor Terawatt, was slumped in the corner of the room holding his ribs as the excruciating pain of the nanites repaired his broken bone. Never the less he started to shimmy quietly across the floor towards his bedroom.
"Don't you go another inch," Lynn said and changed her aim to Brian. Lucy stopped and raised a brow.
"Really?" She asked rather astounded.
"Yes, despite what you think, you're not the bad guy in the room," Lynn said and trained her gun at the Doctor.
"Ladies!" He said and raised his hands now sitting still on the floor. He got caught off guard, but with a grin elbowed the wall as the panel shifted. Suddenly the floorboards below him opened, and he dropped through a hole which closed immediately. He was gone so quickly that when Lynn fired her gun it was too late and it bounced off the floor and ricocheted around the room before taking out the television screen.
"OH COME ON!" Brian shouted from the floor below. He was standing in a laboratory. The apartment above had been wired into the cameras across a screen before him. Witnessing now the 40-inch television screen be destroyed by the bullet.
Lynn looked around hearing his voice echoing through the speakers of the surround sound system. Lucy kept her guard up, stunned, confused and nervous.
"Let's make this easy. Vice, you want something from the Doctor let me help you. I'll get what you came here for, but I need you to do one thing for me." Lynn said and turned to Lucy.
"And what would that be, bitch?" She asked.
"Tear this place to shreds," Lynn said with a smirk.
"With pleasure," Lucy said and took out her bat and swung it around in her hand. Winding up she smashed the rest of the television and tech up connected to it up.
Doctor Terawatt stood at his mega screen with his hands clasped in his still wet curly hair.
"NO NO NO!" He cried out as Vice Versa began to tear his apartment to apart. She used her bat and smashed apart his satellite dish receivers. One by one his online servers disconnected violently. Eris appeared in a hologram before him on the console, his visage a bright bluish-white light backlighting a feminine silhouette.
"Doctor, Warning! Warning! Major Malfunctions detected." Her voice was underlined with an alarm as Vice knocked a server tower over with a massive kick the small electronic parts skipping across the hardwood.
"I know!" Brian panicked and began typing across the LED digital touchpad. His hands were twisting and turning a holographic code system which projected from the console like a 3d globe.
Inspector Lynn had begun to search the apartment, sliding her hands across the walls where he had activated the trap door and into his bedroom by following the wet footprints in the carpet. Once inside the bedroom she found a metal panel by the door and flipped it open — a mess of cables neatly organised inside.
"I wonder what this does," Lynn said and grabbed hold on the bundle of cables and ripped them out. The hologram console flickered under Dr Terawatt hands, and so did the hologram of Eris, the formless light floating above the centre Monitor.
"Critical, Power supplies disconnected to the security system on upper floors, doors unlocked. Secure items in Laboratory B immediately." Eris said as the warning alarms sound above him went quiet.
"Oh shit." Doctor Terawatt paused and ran his fingers through his hair as he needed time to think, this all had dropped so quickly, and at that moment a ring chimed from his pocket. He looked down to his right as something in his pocket was ringing. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an old flip phone he didn't know was there.
"What else could go wrong...Hello?" He asked when he answered it.
"It's quite a mess in there isn't their tiger." A silky voice echoed from the receiver.
"You... Here I thought you were Lucy." Brian's nose curled up as he watched Lynn and the real Lucy rampage his apartment looking for the scanner.
"What does it look like?" Lynn asked searching the room.
"I don't know what a Biometric DNA scanner looks like I just commissioned it you, idiot!" Lucy screamed at Lynn as she ripped the computer off the office desk in the living room.
"Could you please calm down for a minute and stop making me the Villian I am trying to help you. I know about the case you built up with the African embassy to stop poaching. I think that is very admirable of you." Lynn was peeking back around the door frame at Lucy who was smashing the ever-loving shit out of the office space.
"Jokes on me then huh!? Thinking I could trust my oldest friend to help me do something good." Lucy said stopping her rampage looking at a picture on the desk tucked behind a heap of junk.
"Looks like those ladies are going to tear you apart Doctor." The sweet voice of the nameless lady echoed in Brian's ear.
"Who are you!" Doctor Terawatt demanded while taking his eyes off the monitor as Lynn and Lucy started to converse.
"I don't kiss and tell, but you can call me the Black Orchid. Sorry, I had to pretend; it's the only way I could get a face to face meeting with you."
"You took the biometric scanner. Why!" Brian demanded.
"Because I wanted it, You practically gave it to me as long as I delivered your gift to the Inspector. Besides, I have a solution to your problem. Unless you want me to leave you alone with those crazy ladies?" She asked.
Brian looked back at the screen just as Lucy smashed the framed picture through the window.
"Lucy! Calm down!" Lynn shouted.
"What's the point? Every time I do the right thing I get fucked in the end. Why should I keep suppressing myself huh? You want me to destroy the place?" Lucy picked up the desk with one hand, her mighty strength easily ripping each cable and bolt from the wall as she smashed it back down causing the contents of the counter to go spilling over the floor. Liquid and electricity were starting to build.
"Yeah but it's getting dangerous in here," Lynn said noticing the puddles on the floor dangerously close to exposed wires.
"You see Doctor, and they are going to destroy everything you have built for yourself." The voice echoed again in his ear but across the street atop the roof of the school. Stood the gothic teenager with blue hair. Dressed in black and pink school girl attire, she knelt with a sniper rifle in hand training into the apartment complex. She had eyes on Vice Versa as she started to approach The Inspector.
"What are you going to do doc?" Black Orchid asked.
"I need time to think; I can't..." Doctor Terawatt panicked as his augmented reality screen failed due to the damage from above.
"Systems at Critical, memory backups compromised starting shut down procedure." Eris chimed in.
"No! No no! That's months of research! Okay, Whoever you are. I need them to stop destroying my apartment and out of the building. Can you do that." Brian asked as he moved over to the lab counter and picked up a ray gun prototype and switching the dial to stun.
"I can assist the best way I can." Black Orchid said with a cheeky grin and fired her gun. The silenced bullet streaked across the air, but it was no bullet at all. Instead, a microchip embedded itself into Vice Versa's neck making her flinch.
"What the fuck!" Lucy yelled holding her neck where the chip has buried itself under her skin.
"Vice are you alright?" Lynn asked before Lucy stood up straight and looked at her with narrowed eyes. Vice went quiet, and her expression changed from anger to blank and expressionless.
"Vice!" Lynn yelled as the strong woman started to march towards her.
"Shit. Let's see if these work." Lynn said and holstered her gun and clenched her fists. The Terawatt gauntlets were charging as Vice came into to punch to the inspector. Lynn threw her Their fists collided sending a shock wave out that vibrated the apartment knocking picture frames off the wall. Doctor Terawatt was climbing the stairs up when the shock wave knocked him off balance.
"Oh shit!" He cursed and started to run back for the apartment. He stopped at the door and ducked around a lip in the wall as the two brawling ladies crshed through the apartment door into the hallway. Vice Versa had been sent flying through the air across the ground as Lynn stepped out of the apartment after her. The gauntlets were sparking wildly around her fists.
"Vice I don't want to hurt you!" Lynn said as Lucy scrambled up off the floor and charged at Lynn once again, no screaming no words just silent aggression. Lynn dodged her strikes as Vice started to smash apart the walls.
"What did you do?" Brian asked as he peeked around the wall to watch the two ladies fight. Lynn was trying her best to stay out of Vice's melee range as she tucked and dodged away from the mighty swings.
"Oh nothing, just a little alignment change never hurt anyone." Black Orchid giggled as she watched from a hacked camera screen to two ladies fight.
Doctor Terawatt dashed into the apartment and ran into the bedroom where the ripped up cable box was.
"Really!" He took out a pair of wire cutters from his pocket and began plugging everything back in lightning speed.
"Doctor, your power gloves are fully charged now." Eris's voice beeped in his ear.
"That's great news Eris," Brian said with a grin as he plugged the last cable in. He turned around and headed into the main room and avoided the mess on the ground before hitting the handprint scanner by the door. The cupboard connected to it opened and presented him with a pair of high tech power gloves. Both of which contained three-tesla coils and wrist bounded screens. He equipped them and opened up the overcharge relay for Terrawatt gauntlets. The readings on the scanner showing the gauntlets were indeed overcharged and in the red.
"Eris, why is the power system not regulating?" He asked confused and looked up to the memory server. The power relay on the memory core also red and flashing a warning signal.
"System Scanning..." The doctor stopped; he looked over his current date and was stuck on his next steps. The memory core was about to fail, and the last three months of data loss would take ages to recreate. On the other hand, the Terawatt Gauntlets Lynn was weilding were on dangerously high levels. Lynn was doing her best to avoid overusing the gauntlets, but Vice Versa was savagely beating her up. The woman's strength was uncomparable, and she flung Lynn around the hallways with ease.
"Vice! Stop!" Lynn tried to reason with her again before being kicked in the stomach onto her back on the far side of the hall. Lynn struggled to get up as Vice started to march towards her slowly.
"WARNING WARNING! Critical Malfunction detected!" Eris sounded her alarm. At the moment a power surge sounded n the apartment, and a loud ear piercing ringing filled his ears. Eris was still talking, but, and out of instinct Brian ran to the memory core and tried power it back up before it failed.
"Regulator Not Installed" Eris repeated the Warning and it was more apparent to Brian as he plugged the main drive back in by rewiring and stripping the broken cables.
"What's not installed?" He asked Eris again noticing the memory core was back online.
"Terawatt Gauntlets Power Regulator Not installed," Eris repeated.
"Lynn!" Brian ditched the memory core and ran for the hallway.
"Inspector!" He shouted and as he turned the corner. Vice Versa had taken her bat out and was ready to swing at Lynn. Lynn, however, had been charging the gauntlets and struck Vice across the face before she could hit her with the bat. The power surge from the gauntlets broke every window on the hall and sent Vice flying before hitting the wall and going unconscious on the floor. Doctor Twrawatt watched as the kickback from the blast reversed into the chassis of the power core and exploded against Lynn's chest. The inspector was sent flying backwards, out the window and went plummeting five stories to the ground.
