Cosmix

Chapter 6-Mordecai

Street Brawl

I bit my lip, Me and Casey have spent the last few weeks being heroes. We've busted Fusion Beasts, fought criminals and saved lives. But just because my bud's powers come from an alien symbiote, they want to arrest him and do god knows what to him.

I wanted to get up and fight that jerk John Stewart, but that stupid Boxing Glove crap he pulled on me left my body far too sore to do anything.

"Now this'll be quick and simple so-" he tried to say before he was sharply whipped in the face.

The whip was held by a cloaked stranger, I could tell they were short and had stubby legs. "Back off Johnny boy!" they said in a feminine voice while cracking that whip.

The whip had three ends, tipped with amethyst gems. The leash had sharp pieces of amethyst gems.

John got up slowly, a large bruise visible on his face. "Listen Amethyst, this is none of your concern!" he said as my savior removed her hood.

She had long, light purple hair that covered her left eye. Her lilac-purple skin radiating. She was possibly one of the cutest girls I've ever laid eyes upon. "Woah…" was I could say as I gazed upon her.

John created a large wrecking ball with his ring, which threatened to flatten this girl known as Amethyst. But with her amazing whip, she shattered it into tiny pieces. "Green Lantern Rings are so overrated.." she said in a mocking tone.

I began to gather my strength, able to ever so slowly rise from the ground. I picked up Casey and carried him over my shoulder. "Silence!" said the now enraged Lantern as he got whipped in the torso and fell back on the ground.

"Come on we gotta get outta here!" said Amethyst as she threw out a mechanical plate on the ground.

It expanded quickly, so it had a 6 foot radius. It began to emit a bright blue light. I looked at it with awe. "Teleporter Pad yo" she told me while stepped on it.

I noticed her whip faded away as I joined her. In a sudden flash of light, we left the open road and appeared in a very modern city. It had large and tall buildings, cars drove and people walked normally. I couldn't help but notice large metal walls around the city. Obviously there to keep Fusion Beasts out.

"Now where the heck are we?" I asked, stepping off the pad.

Amethyst took a minute to pick up her device and revert it to it's normal size. "Central City, pretty sweet place I guess."

"Central City?! We were like 50 miles away from here!"

She stuck out her tongue, clearly not seeing any reason to explain further.

"Thanks for the save though."

"Don't mention it, I have a room in this Inn a few blocks from here. Your friend can sleep there."

"Sounds good." I replied as we reached a small 3 story brick building.

After walking up to Amethyst's room, it was a one bed room. With a decent looking TV and such. Trash littered the floor and the bed was quite unmade. I placed Casey on the bed carefully. Amethyst sat down in front of the TV, turning it on while I joined her.

"This is awful…" I muttered in a worried tone.

"Relax dude, last time I checked the League had to worry about an alien invasion. Just stay out of their way and I'm sure you two will have nothing to worry about." Said the purple skinned female as she removed her cloak.

Revealing her dark purple tunic, I noticed a black bra underneath and I could see part of a purple gemstone on her chest. "What are you exactly?" I asked, ignoring the face I was a talking Blue Jay that stood over six feet.

She sighed a bit "You ever heard of the Crystal Gems?"

"Oh yeah!" I remembered how the Crystal Gems were a group of three alien women. Garnet, Pearl and the one who just saved me and Casey, Amethyst. I knew they were a successful group of heroes, but I heard one day they just broke up.

"What ever happened to you guys?"

She glared at me "Stuff happened" she said in an angry tone, obviously not wanting to talk about it.

"Right, Name's Mordecai by the way. The dude crashed on your bed is Casey. " I turned to the TV, trying to ignore the awkward silence.

A few hours later, moans and groans could be heard. Casey had gotten up slowly, he yawned as he rose from the messy bed. "So.. what the hell happened?" he asked as he looked upon Amethyst.

We had explained how John Stewart tried to arrest him, about how a certain purple skinned stranger saved the both of us. "Wait wait hold up, did you say John Stewart?!"

"Dude he was trying to arrest you…" said me and Amethyst in unison.

"That sucks…" he said before a pounding could be heard on the door.

Casey quickly answered the door, the person behind it seemed rather odd. It was a red tall man with no ears or nose. There was a yellow T symbol on his chest, along with a blue cape. "By order of the Justice League, I Red Tornado place you all under arrest!" he declared in a robotic voice, before releasing a giant red vortex from his right arm.

The Fists of Justice appeared on my arms as I tried to resist the powerful blast of wind. But before I knew it, all 3 of us flying out of the window. I watched as Casey nimbly caught me by the arm while Cosmix began to cover him in his usual symbiotic costume.

Amethyst easily landed on the streets without any assistance before we joined her. Our eyes were met with a very familiar green light. "You really thought getting any from me would be that easy?" asked John Stewart as he floated above us.

Red Tornado flew next to him, generating a tornado around his legs to keep him in the air. There were 3 other figures I couldn't exactly make out. All I knew was, we were about to have the fight of our lives..
