Arsenal

Chapter 4-Kayla

Tough As Stone

I couldn't stand it, what were Aunt Gwen and Paladin hiding from me?! I mean it's bad enough Dad went back on his word, now there's some super important secret that I wasn't in on.

I decided going on patrol was the best way to get my mind off of it. I turned into Heatblast again, as I transformed I felt nice and warm again. Which was a welcome feeling, since it was snowing. I used my fire powers to propel myself like a rocket into the air, it's a trick Dad taught me. It felt kind of scary, but as long as I kept a steady flame and made sure not to burn anything. I knew it'd be fine as I flew over Bellwood.

I thought about how I just left Tyson and Paladin there, I hoped Tyson was training. I honestly wasn't sure what Paladin was doing, probably working out. I mean he's just a really good looking guy (No I don't like him like that.)

As I flew, I noticed what seemed like a robbery. Two humans with plasma blasters were trying to rob a jewelry store (How creative) They stood by a large tank while firing at civilians, it seemed like their getaway car.

Well it was, until I fired a white hot stream of fire. Reducing the tank to a mess of liquid metal, the two robbers looked confused as they noticed what became of their ride. As I dropped down, putting myself between them and the innocent people.

I won't lie, I've had my Omnitrix for a while. And this super hero gig was still pretty cool. The robbers looked at me in fear as they fired their blasters, I easily created a wall of flame to protect myself and anyone else that could've been in the way. I then shifted the wall into a powerful heat wave, I used it to easily melt their blasters. They quickly dropped them, leaving puddles of metallic goo on the floor.

They raised their hands, figuring they'd be next. " No no please!" yelled one of them as they both kneeled on the ground.

"Hehe all of a day's wo-" I was cut off by a hovercar that flew right into me.

It knocked me into a building, the impact hurt like all. I managed to push it off and slowly got up, (I was sure gonna feel that one in the morning.) I looked up and saw a huge rock man, he looked like The Thing on steroids. He stood at 10 feet, his entire body was covered in grey stone. He wore black jeans and seemed to have some weird device strapped to his waist.

As he approached me while cracking his knuckles, I tried to roast him alive with a fiery hot blast of flame. But when it hit, the man didn't seem to feel a thing. He rushed over to me, used one of his massive hands to strangle me. As he raised his fist towards me. "Aw you would'nt hit a girl, now would you?" I asked, hoping he didn't get the memo that chivalry was dead.

Apparently he did, since he punched straight into a truck. I returned to my Incursean form, I felt a sharp amount of pain. But I was the daughter of Ben Tennyson, I wasn't going to let some rock head beat me.

So I activated my Omnitrix, hitting the core as I transformed again. This time I decided to go with Cannonbolt, a giant walking Pillbug alien. He had a yellow shell and white skin, Cannonbolt was a lot of things. But light wasn't one of them, since I somewhat crushed the truck under me.

I quickly curled myself into a ball, my yellow and super durable shell visible all over. I quickly sped towards the man, intending turn him into a pile of pebbles on the floor. But he must've been quite stubborn, I could'nt see it. But I felt him catch me and pick me up, he threw me so hard into the ground it made a crater. I uncurled myself, he took the chance to relentlessly punch me. Leaving bruises all over my white skin.

I moaned in pain, my sight getting blurry as I turned back to normal again. As his hands dashed towards me, threatening to crush me. I quickly managed to transform again, this time I chose Big Chill.

A humanoid moth-like alien, with blue and black skin. I had wings that spread over 5 feet. I had very defined curves, the idea of normally having them almost made me blush. As I flew up, I still felt sore and dizzy. But I had too much pride to run away, I fired a powerful cloud of ice breath from my lungs. I figured that would be enough to freeze him.

You'd think I would've learned by now, he was frozen. But he quickly broke out of his frigid prison. I turned intangible, intending to phase through his body like a ghost and freeze him from the inside. But before I could, he pulled out what seemed like a laser gun. But it fired this weird orange goo, before I knew it I was intangible anymore. The goo was very sticky, I was stuck. Unable to fly away as he kicked me like a football.

I crashed into another building, before slamming into the ground. I quickly passed out, reverting to my original form. I was scared, what did this guy want with me? Before I passed out, I saw two things. The rock man standing over me, looking proud of himself. I heard him pull out a communicator and say "The target has been captured."

The other thing was the Plumber Base, I could see explosions coming from it.
