Ok, so I finished this chapter a few days ago, but fanfiction wouldn't let me upload it. I even put this chapter on a USB so I could upload it from a different computer, but I still couldn't upload it. Ugh! I'm still having a bit of trouble so I hope things don't get too messed up…
Thanks for the reviews guys! Guess we'll just have to wait for a season 3 release date *sigh*
Disclaimer: I own Lilith, but nothing else
Chapter 7
"Life is a difficult journey"
"What's that noise?" Aunt May asked. The gang and I were having our weekly video game tournament; and I was winning. We were awaiting news from Dr. Conners on the antidote that was yet to be completed after the modifications needed were made. Aunt May was in the kitchen trying out a new recipe when our transmitters had unexpectedly gone off.
Luke and I almost immediately dropped our controllers.
"Uh…that must be Harry!" Peter said quickly.
Aunt May gave him a skeptical look. "But I hear that noise coming from 5 different sources."
"He's calling our cellphones!" Sam said.
"Harry must be… trying to do a 6 way call?" Ava tried to help.
"6 way call? Don't think I've ever heard of that before."
"It's new, Harry's just testing it out." I pitched in.
"Well we better not keep him waiting for us to answer any longer." Peter said quickly ushering us outside.
"Teenagers." We heard Aunt May mumble as she returned to the kitchen and Peter shoved us all outside to the side of the house away from windows and where anyone could possibly see us. He turned on the hose to create some noise and to hopefully block our conversation from any unwanted ears. We finally answered our transmitters.
"What took you kids so long to answer?" We heard Fury say immediately upon answering.
"Sorry, we—"
"We've tracked Doc Oc and Lilith. They plan on blowing up the nuclear power plant located 20 miles west of the city. Workers have been evacuated, but we still need you guys to stop this from happening before we lose half of the city!"
"We're on our way, Fury." Peter said.
"We'll arrive with the helicarrier as soon as we can to provide assistance, but until then, you 5 must do whatever you can to prevent this from happening. Fury out."
888
The 5 of us wasted no time suiting up and getting to the power plant as fast as we could. Throughout this whole experience, everything we've seen, I still can't believe. I know that's not Lilith. I know that she's not thinking or acting like herself. But seeing her standing beside Doc Oc, seeing her work for him and just seeing her evil; breaks my heart into pieces. But I'm going to bring her back no matter how high the cost. I'll make sure of it.
We were now feet from entering the grounds of the power plant. We cautiously approached knowing that an attack could happen at any moment… and we were right. As if out of nowhere, 2 mechanical arms and several green energy blasts were shot right at us. But unfortunately for our attackers, our guards were up. Their attacks were dodged followed by our quick counter attacks.
We turned to face our attackers.
"Let me guess. You 5 are going are going to try to stop my plan of blowing up the nuclear power plant." Doc Oc hissed.
"Oh gee, I wonder how you knew." Spider-Man said sarcastically.
"Enough talk. I'd rather fight." Lilith said getting into a fighting position.
"Patience, Jade." Doc Oc pulled out a remote, kind of like the one we last saw him with, and pressed a green button on the front.
Within seconds we were surrounded by what looked to be the same drones that attacked us back when Lilith first got injected with the serum 6 months ago. The drones blocked my path from Lilith and Doc Oc. They began attacking immediately—and I'm guessing over time Doc Oc was able to improve his 'toys'.
One tried to slice my head off, but I ducked, causing the drone to barely miss. I punched with my iron fist, but to my surprise it blocked my attack. Unfortunately for him, my other fist was ready and struck him to the ground. Another came up behind me, but I sensed it, doing a back flip to avoid its sudden attack and landed right behind it where I kicked its back causing it to fly forward and land on top the other. Sensing a presence behind me I swiftly turned around to find myself kicking, yet another drone, in the solar plexus, but not before another could take its place. I did a roundhouse kick followed by a punch before using that now defeated drone as a leverage to launch myself in the air to land directly behind a fifth mindless drone. Before that drone could react, my iron fist tore a hole right through it. Just as quickly as it fell, I could feel myself being electrocuted from behind and falling to the ground.
I was conscious, but weak. I still managed to see, through my blurry vision, my other teammates.
Power Man seemed to have his surrounding drones on the run. Using his strength and power he took one out in a matter of seconds and used the defeated drone as a weapon against the other surrounding ones. It did in fact look like he was winning until his 'weapon' was simultaneously knocked out of his hands and a forceful punch was delivered right in his face. He flew back and was caught and electrocuted by one of the standby drones. It was clear that a lot more power was used to electrocute Power Man than me due to his impenetrable skin.
Power Man…
White Tiger forcefully slashed her way through each drone standing in her way. One came up behind with a metal pipe and was about to hit her on her head. But White Tiger easily dodged it, allowing the metal pipe to make contact with a different drone. Judging by the defeated drones at her feet, Tiger looked undefeated. That is, until one managed to kick her legs out from under her causing Tiger to fall to the ground then be electrocuted shortly afterwards.
White Tiger…
Nova used his speed in the air. Zooming past the drones then unexpectedly striking them to the ground. "Hey! Your mother was a toaster!" he shouted to try and get the attention of a single drone. The drone he called out to turned around only to see a pulse of light blue energy bringing it to its end. At that moment, Nova made the mistake of letting his guard down to laugh at his earlier joke. Due to his mistake, a pipe managed to make contact with his head. Luckily for his helmet, it didn't crush his skull, but still knocked him unconscious.
Nova…
Spider-Man also seemed to be doing well at first. He did a bunch of swift old school gymnastics to confuse the drones and dodge their attacks. Because of this they had no idea what happened when Spider-Man used his webs to fling objects into their faces. He jumped to do a somersault in the air and extended his leg and strengthened his foot as it came in contact with a drone. One tried to sweep his legs from under him, but thankfully for his spidey sense, Spider-Man was able to jump over the drone to avoid the attack then turn around to knock the drone to the ground all before landing on his feet again. A drone was charging at him to the left, but a web was suddenly flung into its face, blockings its view. Several more came charging at him, but also received a web in their faces. Spider-Man seemed to be having fun with this and therefore wasn't able to react fast enough when he too got electrocuted from behind just as his spidey sense went off.
Spider-Man…
By that point I felt a needle in my arm and as I tried to keep my eyes open, the world in front of me went black.
Cliffhanger! Hopefully I won't run into any issues when I try to update again.
Review please!
