Chapter Three- Change of Plans!
The duo was soaring in the air, one on his saucer, which was Static, and the other was flying with his roller skates, Gear. Going as fast as they can, to reach the villain just before it's too late. Switching their directions up from left to right, ducking city billboards, and other objects that stood in their way, hopefully they will be able to get there in five minutes or less tops. They were pretty far from their destination, but that was not going to stop them. Until, glass was broke. It must have been someone breaking some place. A large alarm bell rung, and Static and Richy look to see where it came from. No where other than the local Dakota bank.
Three bank robbers that covered their face with black ski mask, black and brown leather jackets. Black slacks, and leather shoes. They were gooned up from, top, to bottom. All were heavily armed, with Ak-47 assault rifles. Instantly the begun to start firing their rounds, but stopped. "Put the money in the bag now!" One of the robbers yelled at the women behind the register. He pointed the weapon at her head, through the glass, to make sure she gets the point, and do as he says. Another one of the robbers pointed his weapon at one of the civilians. "Take out your wallets and put them in a bag." Another robber said, taking out a rustled black plastic bag.
Static and Gear stopped in their tracks, in the air. Groaning, and looking at each other. Not knowing what to do in this situation now. It was two major problems they have to deal with at the moment, robbery, and the one in Utopia. Things were definitely getting out of hand, right now. What could they possibly do? Let the bank get robbed, and possible, people can get hurt, or let people get hurt, and die, and buildings get put on fire, by a madman? Gear and Static went towards the bank, looking at all the scared expressions, and counting how many perps they have to deal with. It was not much, so maybe they can get this done in no time.
"Aw come on. First Utopia, now we got a bank robbery. This is really not our lucky day." Richy said, in a low tone, very aggravated that now they have thugs to be dealt with. Richy groaned, and placed his hand on top of his helmet, shaking it constantly, at the heavy thinking. "Should we take care of twiddle Dee, twiddle dumb, and twiddle dumber? Or what?" Richy joked, directing the little insult towards the robbers.
"Tell me about it." Agreeing with Richy, Virgil stood on his saucer, putting his hand underneath his lip. Thinking of a plan, a light bulb appeared suddenly over his long dreads. He snapped his fingers, and Richy smiled, knowing that Static was the man with the plan, even though Richy was the brains. "Okay, you take care of our three little stooges here, and ill take care of our mystery bang-baby uptown. Okay?" Virgil said pointing his index finger towards the bank, for Richy to go there, and pointed his other index finger up in the sky, indicating he will go the other way.
Richy nodded in agreement, but before he could reply, one of the citizens seen then them. Over joyed, perhaps, TOO over joyed, the female got up and pointed at them. "Oh my god! It's Static and Gear. We are saved!" She exclaimed loudly, which got the robbers attention, and they spotted the duo. Thus beginning to firing their weapons at them. The bullets headed towards Gear, and Static stopped the bullets by using a magnetic force-field out of electricity, that attracted the bullets into the field, and quickly dispersed them, by blowing them up into tiny little explosions.
"I don't think so!" Static said to them, and quickly descended into the skies. "Okay Gear, the rest is on you. When you're done with them, meet me downtown, ASAP. Alright?" Soon saying that, he flew in intense speed, on his foil disk, heading towards uptown, but knew that he could take care of the problem by himself, since before Richy got his powers, he was handling tuff on his own, anyway.
"Okay!" Gear shouted out in response to Static, but was too late, seeing that he was gone. He turned back around hearing the sounds of the guns clicking. Watching them reload their weapons, Richy took out three metal little balls, and threw each at the robbers. They looked down at them and laughed, because it did not affect them in any way. But soon, they stopped, when the circular capsules blew up with a hard metal coils rope that wrapped around the three masked men.
"Grrr let us out of this!!" One of the masked men said, wanting Gear, to take the ropes off. All three of them struggled to break free, but it was no use. Not a normal human, can escape the grasp of that steel cold metal rope. A knife would not even cut the job, for that hard metal. The people stood up and started clapping their hands, in joy that Gear captured the bad guys. In the nick of time, police sirens surrounded the bank, and they started swarming in with their guns. "Ugh, first masked freaks, now the cops are here!"
"Right on time. Well, your time could have been way much better." Gear said to one of the chief police officers. He looked at the officers pick up the three criminals, and tossed them inside the police car. "Well my work is done here. Another swell job, for the man in green. Ha ha." Gear joked, and started laughing. The officers looked at him, not finding the joke funny, which left Gear in an awkward moment. He let out an uncomfortable cough. "Now it is time to head towards Static direction..." Saying that, Gears roller skates activated, and he went into the sky in a matter of seconds, and followed after Statics tracks.
After Richy caught the bad guys, Static was still in the air heading towards his destination. He was not that far, when he seen a bunch of grey smoke, clouded up in one big area. Also, fire was shown, on one of the tallest buildings. "This must be it." Static mumbled to himself, going in a faster rate then he did before. "I have to hurry, if only I had powers, like the flash, I would be there in one second." Static said to himself, wishing that he had inhuman super speed, but the speed rate was good enough. There was absolutely no reason to complain since he was 2-3 minutes away from arriving where was suppose to be at, so he will make it.
