Helko, Helko my superhero loving readers. Well here it is. This chapter is going to be the encounter between the captives and the Heroes, but I'm sure its obvious who is going to see them. Its really doesn't take a genius to figure out. I wish I tried harder.
Well lets go, man I been saying the word well a lot. Also thanks for the reviews for my sneak peek on Winter Crisis.

Chapter 12: First Villain Arc: Daring Rescue and Escape!
With the Captives. Thirty Minutes after Techlin Knocked out the Camera. 11:43 A.M
Our lovely captives were in a state of great worry, well most of them while others were just relaxing knowing something good will have to happen. They were all going crazy last night due to the Heroes disappearance with many not sleeping wondering if they were dead or captured by Vladimir which will ultimately lead to them staying here forever, or maybe even execution. But relief overcame them by the morning when they saw the Heroes looking slightly different, well Techlin was with the armor he had on.
They were then back to normal. They were just talking with a dozen or so people watching the screen out of boredom. That was until Techlin explained his story of him being sent into the wilderness by his own father nonetheless. Said father shrugged in reply to their shock looks saying he survived and that all that matters. But when he knocked out the camera they were left in the dark of the boys location as Vladimir seemed to not notice that his robotic spy was knocked out. So the worry was back in for most but they all held hope that they were alright, right?
With Eddward and Techlin
The Hero of Light and the Hero of Ice walked down the halls of the large castle. They have been looking through all the doors they came across and found nothing but beds, boxes and other unusual things in storage. They had some narrow encounters with a few soldiers, but Edd was able to turn them invisible and waited for them to past. These small encounters happened a few minutes ago and they haven't encountered anyone yet.
'' Umm... Techlin could I ask you of something?'' Eddward asked in a lowered voice a slight pink tint in his cheeks.
'' Sure.'' The ice boy replied.
'' Well...its about this marriage thing in the family...I just wanted to know if you and Callie...um... you don't have to answer but...'' Edd was obviously nervous as he tried to word his wording carefully.
'' If we had sex when the wedding was over? Yeah, why?'' Techlin answered already figuring out the question.
'' I didn't mean by that... I wasn't trying to intrude into your personal life...I was just uhh curious! Yeah I was curious.'' Edd answered feeling his cheeks heating up.
'' That doesn't help your case, boys are curious of sex all the time, well not me.'' Techlin smirked at his friend whose blush seemed to grow.'' But yes and it felt good, don't worry when you propose to her you might do the same thing.''
'' What? But we're young!'' Edd exclaimed in a hushed tone.
'' I'm young, don't worry the age is between twelve and thirty, if your not in that age range then you can't be in it. But you are a young boy, plus you have to propose and she has to say yes for the ceremony to begin.'' Techlin explained and that eased some of the boy's nerves.
'' Good I don't want to rush things.'' Edd said really wanting this relationship to work, his rejection from Nazz was still fresh in his head despite him moving on.
'' Okay I answer a question for you, but now mine.'' This surprised the boy.'' Tell me why...you don't act like a pervert?''
The question made the smart-Ed stop in his tracks, looking at his friend.
'' What?'' Edd asked hopping he heard wrong.
'' You heard me, you don't act like a perv. Suppressing urges isn't good, have you even masturbated yet?'' Techlin asked his smile growing as he saw the boy become nervous, this was just funny for him.
'' Well I guess... but being someone like Eddy stature isn't the best way to go in my eyes. I mean with the polygamy thing in the mess I can't help but think that he may go to far.'' Double D stated his worry for his talk now and think later friend.
'' Trust me I gave Eddy advice that he won't forget, but you don't need to act like a pervert like Eddy, at best I say to buy a few dirty movies and magazines and just masturbate. Trust me its good, though it doesn't even compare to sex.'' Techlin answered with a perverted grin.
'' Well I guess I could try. Though no promises.'' Double D's blush was full blown, he really didn't want to do it, but he might as well start this new experience after they were done and after a few months of thinking. He said he'll do it but not when.
The two continued their walk in silence.
With Ed and Eddy.
Ed and Eddy looked inside another room only see nothing again. They still couldn't find any captives after searching for so long. Dante left when they came across another fork in the road and took to the left saying he contact them if he finds the captives.
The two Eds kept walking down the hall having close calls with a few patrols. They solved that by Ed floating them up over them, or they would go back and hide into a room they searched and waited for them to pass. It was annoying to them both as every few minutes there was a patrol around the corner and they had to go back. They haven't encountered any patrols as of yet but they were still cautious.
'' This is such a waste of time.'' Eddy said without thinking.
'' How could you say that, we're here rescuing people like read heroes!'' Ed exclaimed quietly.
'' Yeah but there one big difference lumpy, there is a chance of death for us. The heroes we see and read rarely have a death moment or in the process of dieing.'' Eddy retorted.
'' As much as I hate to admit it, once I thought it that is, I guess it does have a chance of us dieing. Vladimir tried to kill us back over the pacific ocean so that means he doesn't care if we die, he'll get what he wants one way or the other.'' Ed said remembering how fun that was.
'' You think our powers are still in our bodies after we die? If that is then I hope nobody grave robs me.'' Eddy said.
'' Its a possibility,'' Ed agreed.'' maybe after some time our powers will go away but will lay dormant for extraction for someone to move in and take us either good or bad.''
'' I don't care I don't want no one poking around this body, but the ladies!'' Eddy exclaimed and Ed shushed him.'' Okay mister Edbrarian. Hey this door looks different lets check this out.''
Ed looked to the door on their left and was metal not wooden like the others and had a sign over that read. '' Client's Observation Deck?'' Ed read aloud scratching his head at the name.
'' Who are the clients?'' Ed asked his fire user friend.
'' I don't know who'll be crazy enough to try and work for the dick that's Vladimir.'' Eddy said grabbing on to the handle and pulling the heavy door open. They moved in and Ed closed the door, just in time as a patrol came around the corner.
'' Did you guess hear that?'' A familiar voice of a soldier said.
'' No for the last fucking time! You need to get relieved from duty, first it was the one in the school and you managed to get yourself jacked up, Windals you are losing this job due to stress and I won't allow my unit to fall because of you!'' His leading officer said and Windals sighed as he turned back to his squad and saw the looks of disapproval.
'' Sorry guys, I'm guess I am just a little stressed out.'' Windals said actually looking tired. In truth he was, he had to take pain medicine for his leg and it made him dizzy. He lost a lot of blood when they found him.
Now that this is over lets go over to Ed and Eddy.
Ed closed the door and put his ear against the cold metal thinking he heard voices but paid no mind and moved on to Eddy. The room was dimly lit by the lights on the ceiling and there was seats that was pointing to the window that they would watch whatever they did. Eddy and Ed saw a bright flash that made them jump. Both looked at each other and slowly creep up to the window to see what was happening, they soon heard voices as they came closer.
''… you have been very hard to capture Mr. Stone.'' They heard Vladimir say. The two Eds looked at the one he was talking to. Strapped to a circular object with runic symbols that Ed recognize, but only a few, there seems to be hundreds of different runes on the rocky object. There was straps that held the boy down tightly, it must be strong as the boy radiated power from him that did nothing to release the straps, they seem to become tighter.
The boy was dressed in a pair of blue denim jeans, gray t-shirt, black long sleeved shirt over the gray shirt. The two notice that the were rolled up and the jacket was open, his foot was covered by brown mid-hiker boots. On his head was an olive green baseball hat that Eddy notice had the American Flag that was stitched on the front. Ed notice that the boy was tall, about five feet ten inches.
'' Shut...the...fuck...up.'' The boy replied between his breaths having used all his power.
'' Oh such language, I wonder how your father will fair with you gone? Do you?'' Vladimir said trying to get him worked up.
'' Leave...my father...alone!'' The boy's power seem to skyrocket as his left hand broke free and he fired a lighting strike only for Vladimir to deflect it. The surprise on the boy's face was enough for the strap to come alive and strap him back on even harder.
'' His blood circulation to the hand is being cut off.'' Ed noted as they were too tight for human and Heroes.
'' How...you don't have powers!?'' Mr. Stone said surprise, haven't not felt the power from him.
'' Oh I do, just acquired by twenty years of hard work catching your kind.'' Vladimir smiled evilly and the boy paled wondering what he was going to do to him.
'' You see the device your on with the glowing runes? Of course you do, its an ancient devices used thousands of years ago by people who feared your kind. They were so scared that they used anything to kill them, but they found a way after hundreds of failed experiments. This device is called the Haurientes Deorum.'' Vladimir explained to the confused boy.
'' Draining of Gods?'' Ed translated to Eddy who shrugged.
'' This is made from special rock and metal they called, Godimiunim, the only thing that affects every person with powers, no matter who. They tested it after capturing one and guess what? It was a success! The power holder was drained of his power and in the process was turned into a statue that was really him but frozen and not aging, his soul completely gone. He was nothing more than like a statue. They then saw that there was a way to give them the power and fought wars over it which lead to their destruction.'' Vladimir sighed catching his breath.
'' Now you will join the hundreds of your kind that fell to me, I hope you enjoy your new life! Deos, audi verba mea de placito! Hostias tibi habeo multos ultimo loco potentiam; Et suges amissam virtutem animae Phylacterium Etro Dea!'' Vladimir incantation was translated by Ed as he talked.
'' Gods, hear my words of plea! I have one of your many children here for sacrifice of ultimate power! Suck the soul of the lost one and give power to the Amulet of the Goddess of Etro!'' Ed whispered to Eddy and the runes glowed a bright white color engulfing the boy as he yelled obviously in pain.
It changed from white, to dark blue and back to white and suddenly stopped. Smoke can off of the rock, the runes now black and in front of the Draining of Gods stood a statue of the boy with a puffed out chest and smiling arrogantly. It was like the other statues that they saw. There was a small orb that floated in front of the now statue boy. Vladimir opened his lab coat the orb followed and went to it and after a minute buttoned it back up and walked away.
'' Eric and Ty if only you two would have learned that no one can escape.. Get him on display with the others now!'' Vladimir ordered and soldiers came and took the boy away, also taking another statue of a boy with lemon yellow eyes, black short hair, white skin, dark blue T-shirt, black jeans, blue running shoes and was posing with eagle wings sprouting from his back. Vladimir followed after to make sure the job was done right not noticing the two watching.
'' The fuck! Man those statues in there were real damn people!'' Eddy shouted as he grabbed Ed by the collar pulling him down to his face.
'' I know Eddy! Stop your damn yelling before someone discover us!'' Ed warned his friend quietly.
'' Sorry. Lets tell the others!'' Eddy said and clicked his ear piece along with Ed.
'' Guys? Guys?'' Eddy said only getting static and asked a few more times until a voice responded through the static.
'' Eddy? Is that—static- man what the hell is wrong with thi -static- Eddy say what you need to say-static- I'm los—satic-.'' Dante's voice said through the worsening connection.
'' Its Vladimir, those statues we saw were real Heroes! He took their powers for some kind of amulet thing! We need to save them!'' Eddy said slowly as to get the message through.
''—Static—static-static-static-hat is horrible, I—static-the others wi—static—lo-static-.'' Eddy kept tapping the ear piece trying to get a connection but only static was heard.
'' Come on you damn thing!'' Eddy exclaimed and after a few rapid taps he gave up and both turned it off. Ed looked to Eddy worry written on his face.
'' Do you think they're alright this is Dante's invention and for something to not make it work...'' Ed didn't need to finish.
'' Yeah I know, this guy's technology must be advance to even make Dante's invention to not work.'' Eddy said and they both walked to the door and, after the checking for patrols, moved back into the hallway and continued their search with a faster pace.
With Dante After losing connection.
'' Eddy? Eddy? Come on work, work! Damn thing I designed you to be insusceptible to communication disruptor.'' Dante was more than mad as he hid in the room full of boxes. A patrol of soldiers came and he hid in here. This is when he got Eddy on his ear piece. He understood the message a little. He said of how Vladimir was stealing the powers of the Heroes somehow and stored them in an amulet he had and the statues was the Heroes he captured.
'' I swear Vladimir's technology will be mine.'' Dante said angrily. He really wanted those details and blueprints.
Dante sighed calming himself down, he needed to relax and find his target just like other times he stole things. Dante really was a thief. All his adventures he been on, which was about ten times, he would steal somethings, find things for his own technology, making new inventions, gaining more contacts and favors, or just for the fun of it.
' Right next to my level of technological, I'm the best thief in business.' Dante thought back to his first steal, his grandfather's voice box, he wanted it and just took it. He got a little frustrated and threw the thing and it bounced back right into his mouth where it got stuck.
Dante was shook from his memory lane when he heard running footsteps and shouting on the other side and put his ear against the door.
''-ome on we need to get to prison blocks! We got two freaks trying to get the captives out!'' A shout was heard out of the many and more footsteps came by.
Dante's heart dropped at that. His friends were in trouble! But he couldn't risk it, even with his powers the many footsteps he heard means too many soldiers for his level. He should find what he needs and get the transportation. As soon as he heard the last of the footsteps run by he peeked out of the room and saw the halls bare.
He quickly moved before anymore came. He sprinted down the hall turning random corners, looking through every door. He grabbed a handful of his birds and spiders and threw them activating them with orders to find Vladimir's computer and if they do to send one back to him and for all of them to download the info to his first spider creation.
When they were all gone, Dante stopped into another room to catch his breath. Breathing heavily as sweat came down his face. Dante slid down the door and leaned against it as he felt the pain that accumulated in his legs go away. Dante stood back up wiping the now cold sweat off him. Then a noise caught his ears. Dante noticed that all his five senses were increased ten fold, close to animal standards, he could hear, smell, touch, see, and taste better than ever.
It took a while but was better and after a twelve hour long headache was able to get his senses under control and able to use them fully. But back to the current problem, he heard a scream, a girly one. He matched it with any voice he could remember and only one stood out: the green haired nice ass lady! His girlfriend!
'' Well almost my girlfriend.'' Dante reminded himself, as he ran out the door and ran to the source of the scream.
' Just hold on baby, I'm coming!' Dante exclaimed in his head as he sprinted with renewed vigor.
With Lily 15 Minutes Ago.
-Bang-Bang-Bang-!
Lily opened her eyes and sat up tiredly, the knocking having woke her. The knocking on her door continued louder and she immediately got up and went to door and opening it.'' What!?''
'' B-b-boss told me to get you lunch!'' The soldier said frighten as he held a tray of food out to her. Lily took it and thanked him before he could say another word slammed the door in his face. She didn't see the sly smirk under his helmet.
Lily sat down at her bed and moved her drawing book on the floor replacing the spot with her lunch. Lily ate the salad first in a quick pace, followed by the fries and hotdog, she finished fast for Eddy to be proud of. Lily put the tray on the floor on top of her notebook and was about to get her clothes on only to stumble onto her knees but caught herself before she face planted to the ground, she put her hands on the bed and lifted herself up.
' Why do I feel so tired.' Lily though having ate a whole amount of food that filled her with energy. But she saw her eye sight darkening. She heard another knocking on her door and heard a father's voice.
'' Lily, can I come in I need you for something?'' Her father said through the door somehow. Lily sluggishly got up and after nearly tripping a few times she reached the door using the knob to keep her up.
'' What...do...you...need daddy.'' Lily slowly said and she opened and her vision was too blurry to get a clear picture but she knew that the people at the door wasn't her daddy. They became clear as one made a move for her and felt something hard hit her head and she fell over hitting the hard metal floor.
'' Quick lets get this bitch on the bed and tied up and get what we want!'' A gruff voice said as her world darkened, but she was jolted awake as she felt something on her breast it was a little pleasure but the rough grabbing overpowered it making her scream. Her arms and legs was spread apart and tied to the bed post.
'' Look shes enjoying it!'' Another voice said and she felt more and more hands on her body as they roughly grabbed everything making her entire body hurt. She soon felt her clothes being ripped off and tears stream down her face as they pinch her nipples. Her sight was clear now and she knew who was attacking her, she knew she needed to be careful, but she was foolish and let her guard down now she was going to get rape!
She felt multiple fingers entering her holes including her mouth, ass and pussy, she cried more ad more whimpering and begging them to stop but they only seemed to get more rough and the pain increased. They made dirty comments to her saying she liked it and said that they were going to make her their ''bitch''. Lily finally gave her loudest scream she could muster, which was her Sonic Voice and the hands left her body, most likely to cover their ears. Her scream continued for a minute or two before she was slapped, hard.
The slap echoed and she knew from the pain and how hard the slap was that there will be a bruise left behind. Lily opened her eyes, blurry from her crying, to see the soldiers taking off their pants, it was over. Lily closed her eyes and cried loudly knowing what was going to happen next and waited.
'' What the fuck are you doing!?'' A new, young, voice shouted and Lily instantly recognize the voice.
Dante was beyond made no was beyond furious at the sight he saw. He was able to follow the source only to see the most disgusting sight that filled him with absolute rage! He was able to run and saw a metal door ajar and heard noises inside and singled out the cries of a female, and hasten his run and came upon the door and pushed it opened only to see a dozen soldiers, and a naked lady tied to her bed...with her clothes off...and crying.
'' Hey who are you?'' A soldier called out to boy hanged his head his hair covering his eyes as he clenched his hands into fist.
'' Are you deaf? Tell you who you are now!'' A soldier who was the only one to bring any type of firearm, a pistol, said holding it to him.
'' Wait...isn't that...'' A soldier started only to stop as the boy looked up...with glowing white eyes and they saw the sparks that flew from his hands and they all paled once they realized who it was.'' Shit...call the...''
It was too late as a rainbow of sparks flew from the boy covering all but the woman on the bed and the soldiers all screamed as their nervous systems was overloaded in a matter of seconds and they felt immense pain from the attack. It didn't end there as the boy's left hand turned to a heavy metal ball and his right turned to a sharp spiked mace.
Dante charged at the stunned soldiers and it was an absolute massacre in Lily's eyes. Dante moved to the first soldier and smashed his left hand on his head with crushing force and he flew into the wall...hard as his head now part of the wall with blood coming from his head. The next was hit with the mace in the gut and was split apart and his two halves fell to the ground as his enthralls was spread across the floor. Dante moved to two soldier and used both maces to smash their heads together and they were left like bloody pancakes their bodies was thrown to three other soldiers who caught the soldiers flying to the wall next to the bed. They were about to recover only to be pierce by dozens of sharp metal needles and they fell down as a pile of bodies.
Dante made quick work of the last two sending them to their deaths quickly. Lily, after the first few kills closed her eyes only hearing the screams of pain and the thuds of bodies falling. Despite them being her to-be-rapist, she felt sorry knowing that their deaths was horrible but she knew that they were the ones that deserved it.
She felt the ties on her wrist and ankles being cut and was taken off the blood flow continued and she felt the feeling in her hands and feet come back. Lily felt something cover her, her blanket.
'' Hey you alright?'' She heard his voice say only lighter and softer than before.
Lily sniffed in response not wanting to speak to him. She heard a sigh from him and felt his weight leaving the bed. Lily wiped her eyes of the tears and saw her savior bringing out something out of his satchel and bend down. She heard metal scraping the floor and the heard bodies moving across the ground. Lily looked over to the boy dressed in royal white clothing, the blood seemed to not stain a single part of his clothing.
Lily saw him turn to her direction and his orange eyes met with her green ones they stood still just staring, but Dante broke the connection and turned away the blush on his cheeks unseen.
'' So are you alright or whatever?'' Dante asked casually as he turned back to look at the moving bodies that was becoming a pile.
'' Y-yeah.'' Lily got out meekly.
'' Good, good.'' Dante seemed to look around her room searching for something.'' You have any clothes? You know to get dressed.''
'' Yeah I do, can you turn around please.'' Lily responded lowly but the boy did as asked and turned around.
Lily calmed down gaining her thoughts, she needed to stay focus. But the memory kept coming back, so did the pain that was with it. She took a few more minutes to calm down, but she got up and stood. She imagined her battle maxi dress on with her thoughts but with the other thoughts coming in it was slower.
Dante didn't hear any shuffling besides the blankets so, without thinking he turned only see the last of her dress appear on her body.'' Oh my god! You are...you are...you are...!'' Dante was beyond shocked the hot piece of ass that he fell in love with was his kind!
'' Oh...fuck... please tell me you didn't see that?'' Lily asked Dante and Dante nodded yes his mouth agape and his face inscribed in shock.
'' But...what the hell are you doing? You're working for the wrong side!'' Dante shouted to her.
'' Hey don't blame me! My father owns the damn merc army! I just followed not knowing who he was working for!'' Lily shouted back.
'' Still! Why didn't you try helping us back at the school? You could have let us go!'' Dante asked the woman.
'' I may be a Chosen One, but I can't take on an entire army!'' Lily shouted to him without thinking and an awkward silence came back between the two.
'' You're a Chosen One too? What are your three powers and the name of your Spirit Guardian?'' Dante asked her quickly and quietly.
'' I'm the Savior of Music, Sonic Voice, and Drawing Animation. My Spirit Guardian is Viridi Papilio.'' Lily answered and asked him the same question.
'' I have three, Rana my purple lightning, Eon my blue, and Ares my red. There was this gray fox but he didn't tell me his name. My powers are Lightning Manipulation, Metal Manipulation, and Darkness, my light, dark and balance respectively.''
'' Okay, I... believe you. But I wonder who are the other four?'' Lily asked gaining a confused look from Dante.
'' Wait, other four? I thought it was only me and my brothers... and you.'' Dante said confused.
'' Yeah the lady told me of nine others making it ten if you include me. Once I saw you guys I knew you have to be the other Chosen Ones, it was in my gut. Plus I saw your three powers in action'' Lily said to the lightning user.
'' Well it seems you were right miss...'' Dante held out his hand.
'' Lily Violon D'or.'' Lily introduced herself.
'' Dante Livingston Gates at your service. But Lily Golden Violin, doesn't sound original especially with your powers.'' Dante remarked.
'' Oh and Livingston isn't a bunch of other place across the world.'' Lily retorted.
'' Pfft whatever. So what do we do know, go on a romantic cruise, have children, get married?'' Dante asked.
'' In your dreams!'' Lily exclaimed to the boy with a tick mark.
'' You know you liked that kiss. Was I your first cause you sure was mine, wooh!'' Dante celebrated and was met with a smack of Lily's flute.
'' Shut up!'' Lily told the boy as he lay on the ground. It was then that Lily noticed the clean floor and that the bodies have disappeared.'' Where are the bodies little killer?''
'' My snakes took care of it, see!'' Dante held his hand out and a snake sprung from him and into Lily's face with slither and she jumped back. Dante was on the floor laughing as his snake seemed to dance around him too.
'' Shut up, stupid snake!'' Lily tried to stomp on it only for it form a circle around where her heels would have been. It stick its metal tongue out and went back to Dante where it stood by his side.'' So what is it?''
'' My own invention, third one I made and the first one. He as an A.I, Artificial Intelligence, so he thinks on his own and has feelings. I keep him, my first ever invention and my second invention on twenty-four/seven they receive every update I ever I made and will make and are the first to test them out. These are my little leaders basically.'' Dante explained.
'' So you're some kind of technological genius? Should I know anything else about my new friends I'll be hanging around?'' Lily asked.
'' I'll tell you on the way, but first lets move to my two brothers that are looking for something. They found the other two going for the captives and the ones I was talking about are walking around in circles. Do you know where the way of this island is?'' Dante asked as they walked out the door, but Lily stopped to get everything she needed in a small bag and Dante took it and put it in his bag, saying he'll explain later.
'' Yeah.'' Lily answered.
'' Okay lets get Ed and Eddy and we're find the transportation and wait for the others to come!'' Dante said as they were now running through the halls.(AN- For those concerned of the scenes above, before and after Dante came, please skip to the end or finish reading and read the messages below thank you.)
With Techlin and Edd. Five Minutes Ago.
Edd took a peek around the corner and immediately ducked back. Techlin looked to him with the question hanging in the air. They were able to continue on with no encounter of soldiers, and no more side conversation that was completely unrelated to their current situation. But they were stopped a few minutes ago by an echo that seemed like a scream, they couldn't turn back due to them having a strong feeling they were close to where everyone was being held.
They were right and found out why there was no patrols this deep in. They were all guarding the ones held captive, they could tell due to the large black metal doors that read 'Prison Cells'' above. Double D was even able to see an Infirmary just opposite of the doors that was down the hall. Edd had peeked around the corner a few times to see the numbers and to evaluate a plan and came down to one solution.
'' They number in the high twenties, exactly twenty-seven soldiers but they are carrying different weapons from when they attacked us. It seems to be more advance and might be an anti-weapon for Heroes and Villains. About five of them have RPGs and LMGs. We can't sneak by cause of them being too many in number to sneak by even invisible. So we reveal ourselves and hope that the others gotten what we need to escape.'' Eddward explained with Techlin nodded each time he ended a sentence.
'' Good idea, I've been wanting to beat up some soldiers. Sneaking is so overrated, no offense.'' The ice user said to the invisibility user.
'' None taken, so are you ready to become Heroes and show them what we're made of?'' Double D asked pulling his hood down a little more and drawing his bow the smirk on his lower face visible.
'' I'm liking this more confident and dangerous Double D, you should really get wives if you keep this up.'' Techlin remarked making sure his straw hat was covering his face. Both stood up and looked at one another before nodding. Edd made the first move jumping out into the open and firing three arrows that pierced the legs of a two soldiers and one got hit in the shoulder. Edd kept the fire on them as they all tried to get there bearings as the soldiers fell to the ground their legs, arms or shoulders bleeding.
But they soon got back in order and started firing, Edd immediately turned invisible as they fired and one grazed him and his arm flared with pain and his power went away making him visible and vulnerable. Tech came in just in time making an Ice Wall in front of them, but the bullets was getting through faster than before.
'' What the hell? There weapons are stronger, back at home they barely got through!'' Techlin shouted over the gunfire to Edd. He put his hand and made more colder ice that held on more but wouldn't last for more than five minutes. They seemed to never run out of clips as they continued.
'' I believe Vladimir might have been making weapons over the years to fight against our kind, I suspected this!'' Double D responded to him.
'' Anti-Power bullets I say, so be careful it might be poisonous to us!'' Techlin said and Double D nodded rubbing his grazed shoulder that was bleeding a little, his jacket wasn't fixing itself.
Techlin's Ice Wall was falling quickly and covered him self in his Ice Armor making it at Sub-Zero levels, Double D backed up and readied his bow to fire. The last of the defense fell and Techlin charged to the soldiers as they continued to shoot. An RPG fired and Techlin reacted by smacking it into a wall where it exploded in a bright blue and the boy was sent flying to the other wall crashing right through as the rocks fell on him. Nearly all his armor was off, but he put it back on and charged back out and met a soldier head on with his Ice Fist.
Techlin felt the his Ice Armor going away and took the risk and unarmored himself as he summoned his shield and enhanced himself with Chi as he charged a faster speeds than before, the bullets, thankfully, deflected off the shield and Techlin moved with a punch to another punch and the soldier was launched through the air to another soldier toppling him over.
Techlin moved from one soldier to the next hitting him with his fist, some not powered, and bashing some with his shield that seemed to send them immediately in unconsciousness. Another RPG fired and he bend down and used his shield and knocked it away into the air where it exploded into the same blue color. The man was pierced in the neck and died out slowly.
Edd saw what he did and faulted in his next draw as it flew into a wall.' I...just...killed...a man.' The shock registered and the boy fell on his hands and knees and threw up. The sick feeling of killing someone was too much.
' I thought I was suppose to be a Hero, Heroes don't kill. If I kill then I'm bad, evil! All my life I've been living by the code of no violence and only then just about a week ago that I accepted, with my friends support, that violence will have to be followed in our soon-to-be line of work. But killing was not part of that!' Double D couldn't go on, not if he had to kill.
'' Don't give up Double D!'' Edd looked up to see the image in front of him change to see Ed and they were in the factory. But Ed wasn't looking at him, but of another person that was him. He moved and looked to see that he saw himself on the floor with a look of disappointment as he sat on the Scene Mover.
'' Whats the point, maybe I should just give up? The mysterious woman didn't say anything about us not being allowed to not be Heroes. I should just go home now, its Saturday and late, my mom needs me to help cook dinner.'' Past Edd told Ed as he got up and left. He knew that it was an excuse for himself to leave
Double D looked over to Ed to see his expression and saw him look disapproving to him. Now that he saw Ed's expression he felt stupid and ignorant for trying to give up.'' Fine I guess we don't need a weakling like you, just go home and cook your damn food! I guess saving lives will come after your own life!'' Ed shouted and Double D saw himself halt hand frozen over the door knob.
That was the first time Ed ever insulted him on purpose. It hit him hard especially since it was Ed of all people who said it.
'' I know that it's hard Double D, I may not have the same powers but I do have the same struggles! We're best friends, fuck we're brothers! All of us, Eddy, Techlin, Dante, me and you! If you walk out, giving up on all you learned, the progress you made, you may be brothers to the others but no longer to me!'' Ed shouted out, luckily everyone but them was there practicing having other important things to do.
'' We're in this together, no matter what. Like our motto says ''Lone wolves are weak, A pack is stronger.''. All you need is help and you'll succeed. I could help you, we could get stronger together. We could get through anything as long as we are together and when we're apart we could feel the others supporting us, I feel it all the time. That is why I get stronger each day knowing that others believe in me, so please don't give up. No matter what happens, if we die, or if we kill, please don't give up.''Ed was now about to cry and he just stood there, also on the brink of tears.
Now that he thought of all of this now, he really felt the emotion especially as he looked to Ed to see the emotion displayed across his face. It made him want to give him a hug, but when he tried he just went right through. He saw himself turn back around with a slight smile.
'' Okay Ed, we'll get stronger together.'' Past Double D said with a slight smile and the memory became particles and blew away and he was immediately brought back into the fight seeing Techlin holding himself up but barely as his clothes was ripped and pain was etched onto his face every few seconds, but his spirit kept strong, trying to get to the others behind that door, trying to get to the ones he needed to save.
'' Its time for me to do the same!'' Edd exclaimed as he got back up and drew his arrow adding more power to it than he did before. He released the arrow and it flew over Techlin who saw it and backed away with a jump strong enough to send him a few feet in front of him as he flew backwards time slowed as he saw the Arrow of Light shimmer and held his shield up as it exploded in a bright light. Time went back to normal and he landed painfully on his back. He looked up to see Edd looking down at him.
'' Nice...Double...D.'' Techlin said between paints.
'' Yeah I guess, I just needed to change, no more hiding. I'm finally realize that I shouldn't try to avoid it all the time. I need to get stronger and for that to happen I need to change so no more hiding.'' Double D said with a faint smile and pull his hood back. He grabbed hold of his ski cap that he wore since he was just a child to hid his most dreadful and well kept secrets and pulled it off and threw it to the side, abandoned.
Techlin's breath was caught in his throat as he stared shocked by being one of the first, besides his parents, to see what was under Double D's hat, the mystery that no one solved. Techlin stood up the pain was overpowered by his surprise and shock. Tech was at his full height and smiled at his friend, no brother. Finally he was out of his shell.
Edd stood his cheeks slightly tinted pink as Techlin stared.'' Maybe I should put it...''
'' No you look better, but tell me why hide this? You would have gotten any girl you wanted if you showed this.'' Techlin held his hands out to his hair. It was raven black, messy due to his hat, it was like Techlin's but longer and more closer to his head. What surprised him was the yellow streaks that was through his hair, it was like his patch of white on his head.
'' Did you dye your hair and it never went away? Is that why you've been hiding it?'' Techlin asked crossing his arms.
'' No that is not the reason, you see my hair was longer than this reaching past half my back. My highlights in my hair was due to genetic mix up when I came of birth. You see my mom and dad were very reckless teens and they did things like...sex, but my mom got pregnant and after some things happening they kept me.'' Edd explained though a bit embarrassed.
'' Wow pregnant at what age?'' Techlin asked.
'' Fourteen.'' Edd answered and looked away pulling his hood back up to cover his face.
'' Damn! Well, dude that is...something. But that seems to be alright I guess.'' Techlin rubbed the back of his neck in wonder as they were left in silence, the groans of pain among the few alive were the only sound.'' So are gonna put the hat on or just let it loose?''
'' I'll keep it off, I'm sure that I don't need to hide something as silly as this, I guess after my mom cut it a few months ago that I didn't need it. Maybe I kept it on due to habit'' Edd asked himself.
'' Whatever the reason we should go and rescue everyone. They're waiting.'' Techlin said putting his hand on his shoulder and nodding his head. Double D smiled back and they walked to the door. It was time to get them out.
With Ed and Eddy.
'' Shit has hit the fan Ed!'' Eddy said as he peeked out of a door seeing dozens of soldiers run by with commanding officers saying that they were attacked at the captives location.
'' What should we do? Go back and help or still look for a way for everyone to get off the island?'' Ed asked the leader.
'' I don't know?'' Eddy exclaimed closing the door as he did.'' Well Techlin and me are equal in power and we're the strongest and Double D is probably just as strong. I say...we...um...lets look for the way out. Techlin and Double D can handle the soldiers.''
'' But there is an entire mercenary army heading for them! I don't think that they could handle that many.'' Ed argued knowing both of them were strong, but even they had their limits.
'' Well what do you suggest we do smart guy?'' Eddy asked standing up and jabbing his finger into Ed's chest.
Ed started to think and Eddy knew that it might come in a few seconds. He was right.'' We split up. One of us goes back to support the others.''
'' Okay, say if I agree to this. Who will go?'' Eddy asked skeptical.
'' That depends. If you were to go, it does help them with firepower and able to get rid of enemies a lot more faster. Plus you could get there fast and intercept soldiers on the way to lessen the threat. If I were to go, I could also add firepower with my offensive and support magic to heal the others and protect them. I could still use Z-P so that adds even more defense, but I will take more time due to me not having your super speed.'' Ed explained to his friend.
'' So I should go, but that means less defense but Techlin got that covered and if you go you boost all stats to every thing. I can drop you off and go back and speed through everyone and take down some soldiers on the way, get Dante and find the transportation.'' Eddy added.
'' Sounds good to me, so lets go!'' Ed said pushing open the door only to see soldiers who stopped to look at them. Eddy looked over his shoulder and saw the dozen or so soldiers looking at them.
'' Ed?'' Eddy broke the silence.
'' Yeah?'' Ed responded the sweat going down his head.
'' Attack!'' Eddy shouted sending Black Sand out to the soldiers as they started firing, catching the bullets as the wall of sand thickens. Eddy felt the bullets as his hands was the wall of sand, but when they entered the small amount of pain was stopped and he felt the bullets being crushed.
His sand was like grinder to the bullets as they was crushed and made into his own sand adding on to it. But soon he felt tired, he knew he was using energy to keep it up but it was draining him off his power. He let the sand wall down as he started to get dizzy and Ed immediately went on the offensive.
'' Venenum: Poison Whip!'' Ed held the book out and the purple, condensed whip came and he lashed out hitting a few soldiers but the rest reacted by jumping or ducking, only to see the whip come back around and hit them. Pretty soon they were all on the floor withering in pain and some, Ed saw was hit in vital parts and was dieing.
'' Man Ed, didn't have to kill some of them.'' Eddy remarked and Ed turned to look at him with dull eyes.
'' Eddy... this is not like in the comic books or movies, we may be Heroes but sometimes it might be necessary to kill.'' Ed eyes suddenly sprung to life.'' But I didn't mean to! I just tried to hit their legs, how was I suppose to know that it might burn through their skin!''
'' Whatever, come on I'll drop you off.'' Eddy said grabbing on the Ed's collar as they ran down the hall.
As they ran they encountered five groups of soldiers and quickly knocked them all out with Eddy's sand by lifting them up and letting them fall. Ed made sure to aim for the heads with less force from his Fulmen or Lightning spells that was enough to knock them out.
Soon after having lots of misdirections they came upon the battle that Techlin and Double D have been in and caught the guys at the door.
'' Hey Double D!'' Eddy shouted catching the teens attention as they turned only to see Eddy and Ed running towards them! Techlin and Double D couldn't react as they came closer but Eddy stopped just in time as they stopped right in front of them a smiling Eddy in their faces. That was until a strong gust of wind came and blew back Techlin's straw hat and Edd's hood his hair going back as the wind blew.
As Eddy backed up and put Ed down they finally saw the hair of their long time friend.'' Double D...did you dye your hair and it never came off? Is that why you always wear that stupid hat?'' Eddy asked.
'' That's what I said!'' Techlin exclaimed.
'' No! Its natural highlights in my hair,'' Edd said bringing his hood back up.'' plus my hat was not stupid.''
'' It sure was.'' Eddy muttered.
'' Okay, off the subject of Double D's hair, what are you guys doing here? You're suppose to be looking for transportation for everyone.'' Edd asked the two.
'' Oh I'm here to drop off Ed, you guys are gonna need the extra power. The entire mercenary army is heading this way and we were able to deal with some on our way here. But I'll have to go and find Dante so see ya!'' Eddy exclaimed and he was gone leaving the three behind.
'' Hey Ed, how you doing?'' Techlin asked casually.
'' Fine, killed a few soldiers with poison, nothing big.'' Ed replied with a shrug.
'' Oh I guess that we both have bloods on our hands.'' Double D said with a sad smile.
'' Make that three, I killed a few soldiers that were attacking, broke a neck with my shield and froze over the others and stabbed the rest.'' Techlin said opening the door and walking in, the others following. They suspected the captives in the cells, but they were greeted by a hallway... with more soldiers... and they were pointing their at weapons at them.
'' This never gets easy for the good guys.'' Ed said as a rocket launcher was fired.
With Eddy.
Eddy speed through the hallways at blazing speed, much lighter now that Ed was gone. He didn't know where he was going but he just hopped that he'll end up at the docking area or whatever they used to put the transportation. As he ran down he encountered a platoon and quickly dealt with them leaving them encased in fire, if Ed could kill he could too right?
He didn't meet any other and continued, until he saw a lady with green hair and in a white dress run into his way and he crashed into her rolling down the hall with them both yelling as they tumbled on the ground, the lady stopped sooner than Eddy who slammed right into the wall his body glued to it.
Lily was confused beyond reasoning, she and Dante were running down to the transportation area and, hopefully, run into Ed and Eddy. When they ran into an intersection, she saw something coming from her left and fast and didn't react enough to flinch as it crashed into her and she tumbled down the long hallway for a few minutes and skid to a stop, her entire body aching as she laid there, her scars from her almost rape added to that, the Healing Song* didn't help that much with that, just dulled the pain to nearly nothing. But it came back.
'' Damn you went far...hey get up you alright?'' Dante caught up panting as he helped Lily to her feet and she played her Healing Song and bright green notes of A, low D, and high C came and surrounded her and went into her body, green light dull glow radiated from her and the small skid marks were healed and she looked a lot more better.
'' Better...now who or what the fuck ran into me?'' Lily shouted making the techno genius flinch in fear as he looked down the hall and to the wall to see the back of a familiar suit. He was going to speak up but was too late as Lily ran down the hall to him.
'' Lily wait that's Eddy, one of the guys we're looking for!'' Dante shouted as he ran after her.
'' Well hes dead!'' Lily shouted as she came closer to him, killing intent evident as she reached out to his collar only for him to disappear. Lily was surprised as she looked around for Eddy.
'' Man what is wrong with her? Who the hell is she anyway!?'' Eddy asked as he hid behind Dante and the woman set her death gaze on the two and they immediately started to sweat.
'' Look Lily he has the power over Wind okay, he can go as fast as the wind which is bested only by the speed of light! He may not be that fast, but he has nearly no control over how he should stop on time and he is entirely reckless so please just forgive him. We need him for the great evil, remember?'' Dante begged as she stomped ever so closer her eyes changing to red and they both was close to wetting their pants and they cowered saying their goodbyes to each other.
'' Okay I forgive you.'' Lily said making the boys stop their cowering to look up with surprised eyes.
'' I thought you wouldn't stop.'' Eddy said.
'' Oh I don't need to beat you up since you both wet your pants!'' Lily laughed at the two as they looked down and they saw the darker tint in their pants, they both paled as they covered themselves up, luckily Eddy made the tint burn away and but not the smell. Dante grabbed some pants and underwear from his now white with gold trim satchel which he changed while running, wanting it to fit his royal outfit and quickly changed in them and Eddy and Lily looked away just in time.
'' You had your laugh, now lets get serious, wait wheres Ed?'' Dante asked.
'' Dropped him off with Tech and Double D, they needed help so I dropped off Ed.'' Eddy explained.
'' Okay, Lily, who is also a Chosen One by the way, knows where the transportation is and so we follow her to lets go.'' Dante said as they continued their run, leaving a confused Eddy behind.
'' Wait Chosen One!?'' Eddy shouted catching up to the two.
With the other Three. 10 Minutes Later.
Ed panted as the last of the soldiers fell down unconsciousness from the Terra spell, Double D was behind him breathing heavily as he used the wall to support himself, his hood off so that he could cool down, sweat rolling off his face. Techlin was a few feet ahead of him using a blade to support himself as he panted tiredly.
'' I...can't...believe that... they were... so... strong.'' Ed said between pants as he stood up and wiping the sweat off of him, his Arcane was nearly gone but no bleeding meaning it wasn't a life threatening amount but still enough to make him want to pass out. His Arcane was being restored and he was feeling the energy come back and his wounds and fatigue healed.
'' The bullets...must have something...in them...they were...blue.'' Edd informed them as he pushed himself off the wall and walked forward his face still sweaty and his hair sticking to his face, another reason he kept the cap on.
'' I say...poison...Vladimir must have found...some...thing that weakens us.'' Techlin said being the most tired having charged head on to the soldiers and receiving most of the damage.
'' We can't lose all our energy so lets continue on.'' Edd said after a few minutes as they walked to the door on the other side of the long hallway, there was no doors on either side and no windows. The walls were smooth and a dark gray color, the ceiling was high but visible. Actually this was the sight of it, before the battle, now it was like a battlefield. Craters on the walls and floor like the moon and the blue ooze was in a few craters.
Luckily the entire hall wasn't like this as half-way to the door it was like a normal hallway. By this time the three had regained most of their energy due to their slow time walking there.
'' I wonder what that blue stuff was anyway, it was like it was a vacuum on high sucking the energy out of me!'' Ed exclaimed making his mouth suck in air like a vacuum.
'' Poison to Beings of Powers.'' Edd said only to be asked by Tech what did he call them.'' I said Beings of Powers, I realized that not all people with Powers are good a while and been thinking of an appropriate name and that came up in my head. I have been thinking of a scientific name but my analysis is quite low.''
'' Analysis? You've been studying us? Dude...that is creepy. Hey Ed remind me to check for an invisible Double D in the bathroom.'' Techlin joked though Ed replied with an okay taking it serious.
'' What? No not like that! I've been writing and remembering things that we done. I archived our names, age, etc etc. Well I have asked Dante to hack into the medical files once, but only once! I needed that data to know how it affects us.'' Double D defended when Ed and Tech, who were two feet ahead stopped and looked back to him.
'' Really though I record anything I can about us, all our powers and how strong we got over the time, the limits of everyone. Remember when I asked you to all to hold a power for as long as you can a day before everyone got abducted by Vladimir? I needed to know if you guys can hold on for long enough and how much our powers have grown. Everything I have recorded is in a small notebook back at home.'' Double D explained.
'' I still say its creepy.'' Techlin said rubbing his arm feeling the soreness still there.
'' Then you should add Blue-Poisoning, after this we need to figure out what it is and why it's poisonous to our kind.'' Ed told the smart-Ed.
'' Our kind? Please tell me you guys don't think we're not human? And I'm questioning a lot of things today.'' Techlin asked then noticed.
'' Well what are we then? We have these strange abilities yet we try and fail to act normal. Our entire genetic structure has been modified to suit these abilities. Eddy's bone became hallow so that wind can flow, his skin is flame resistant, your skin is resistant to anything cold, your blood is both warm and cold blooded, Dante's blood was changed to fit his lightning abilities, I have a strange aura inside him, and Eddward's entire body is denser as to not be crushed by his own power! How is any of that anything normal!?'' Ed exclaimed.
'' Wow...Ed calm down. I just wanted to know! I guess we aren't human.'' Tech said tipping his hat down to cover his face.
'' Sorry I just... its stressing. I mean here we are risking our lives for people who might end up hating us or think we're freaks.'' Ed told of his worry and Edd was the one to put the arm around his shoulder.
'' Don't worry Ed! I'm sure they'll be grateful and think the complete opposite of what you think!'' Edd exclaimed assuring Ed.
'' Wow when did you get confident?'' Ed asked with a silly smile while Edd's dropped.
'' I'm not going to bother asking, hey look we're here!'' Edd exclaimed as a large metal door was now in front of them. They stood there staring at the door that separated them from their love ones and friends and the opinions that they will hold for them.
'' Well we came to rescue them so lets do this!'' Techlin said weakly nervous like everyone else. He made a reach for the door knob only to stop as bullets was fired and they turned to see more soldiers coming towards them!
'' Fuck! Why the hell are these guys so damn persistent!?'' Techlin angrily exclaimed and the other two backed off as they felt the power start to grow from Techlin. An idea hatched in Double D's head and planned to use his friend's anger to the fullest.
'' Okay here is the plan, me and Ed will go inside and free everyone from this prison and you Techlin can take care of these soldiers while we do so. Any problems with that Techlin?'' The genius asked with a slight smile only to receive the cracking of knuckles as his respond as Tech's grin was akin to a wolf's.
'' Oh don't worry, I'll try not to keep them alive!'' Techlin shouted as he charged at the platoons of soldiers heading their way as they fired more bullets. Techlin was smart enough to put a thick ice wall between them so that no bullets would hit them.
Lets go. He may be strong but he won't be able to hold them off much longer!'' Ed exclaimed and they went through the doors. There they were met with the eyes of the captives as they stared at the two boys that were their rescuers.
Some was left speechless at the sight of the two different looking Eds. Their clothes were torn up and they looked tired, but their eyes still shinned with strength of a thousand men and more. The single girls of the school stared at the two with dreamy eyes especially Double D whose hood was down and his hair was shown to the world.
Ed was nervous as he saw his and the others parents staring at them with agape mouths and wide eyes the surprise or shock written on their faces. He guessed what everyone was thinking. Were they for real? Finally they arrive, but now what? Are these guys freaks? Our heroes? And much more that made his armpits sweat.
The nervousness in his gut finally made Edd speak.'' Um...hi.'' He said meekly and after a few seconds they were greeted with cheers of the people which surely surprised them. They were greeted with shouts of approval and happiness from the people though some still looked conflicted on how to react.
But the two Eds, while enjoying the praises, got serious and made way to opening the cages that held them.
10 Minutes Later
It took them a full ten minutes to get everyone out but they were successful in their first part of their mission.
'' Oh my baby boy I'm so proud of you!'' Ed's mom said hugging him tightly into her chest making the boy blush.
'' Mom not in front of everyone!'' Ed said embarrassed trying and failing to get away from his mom.
'' My boy trying to get a hug away from your mom is like breaking through steel, where do you think you get your strength from?'' Ed's dad said patting the embarrassed Ed shoulder. Sarah stood by giggling at her family's actions.
'' Please tell me you all right? And where is your hat? Please tell me you have no broken bones, scars or anything!'' His mother worrying made the still shy boy blush like a tomato as his father chuckled at the scene.
''(Chuckle) Well son your mother is known for being worry wart so get used to it!'' Lennard said as he watched his wife and son interact. It was then that he noticed the blue haired young woman standing by and while he still didn't trust her decided that his son should make his own decisions of who to date, and possibly soon marry, who he wants and if there was consequences that he'll deal with them in time.
'' Come on dear lets leave our boy alone and see how Ed is doing.'' Lennard told his wife grabbing her by the arm and pulling her away to let their son breath.
Edd was blushing like it was no tomorrow as he knew others were watching and laughing at how his mom treated him like a sickly child despite having risked his life for the past few days to save them. Double D's red cheeks was calming down he felt someone tap his shoulder and he looked only to see no one and ended doing a three-sixty and was stopped by the giggly Marie and his heart nearly skipped a beat.
He turned to face the beautiful maiden and his blush and heart beat went up.'' Oh...hi Marie.''
'' Oh hi Double D. You know if you wanted to marry me all you had to do was ask for another wedding like we did when we were younger. But its good that you thought about it.'' Marie straightforwardly said with a slight smile.'' But I wonder what you will do on our wedding night, Techlin's said his was magical. I wonder if ours will be like a legend.'' Marie struck a sexy pose to rouse the boy.
Her teasing worked as the powerful Hero was left sweating, blushing and his heart close to bursting out of his heart.'' W-w-w-w-ell M-m-marie I-I-I-I...you know uh...i-i-is some-some-something I th-th-thought of non clearly though...''
'' Oh so you were day dreaming of me or were you doing the you not what while your parents was gone. It is usually quiet there and no one will suspect such a thing from the noble and nice Double D.'' Her teasing continued but she decided to stop as he looked close from passing out to dieing from embarrassment.
'' Just stop it you know I'm just teasing, I just want give you one thing before we all leave and you have to go and protect all of us.'' Marie said and Edd was still dumbfounded as he was recovering from her ''extreme'' teasing. It was as quick as Eddy's speed, just short and relatively uneventful peck on the lips but to Double D it was the end of the world and the beginning of a new one. Before he could do anything she pulled back and fell through the crowd her giggling being the only thing he heard only to be slapped in the back of his head by Ed.
'' Double D we have questions to answer!'' Ed shouted into his ears having tried for the past few minutes to get his attention only to see a dumb smile and dreamy eyes on his face.
'' Wha...who...oh I just lost myself there for a second sorry. Now you said answering questions, yes?'' Edd asked and Ed nodded pointing to Eddy's, Techlin and Dante parents who eyes and thoughts were full of questions but only one was asked.
'' Where is our sons?'' The question was asked by all four at the same time and Double D gulped feeling the need to answer quickly or suffer.
'' Its all part of our plan I assure you. We split up to see where to go. Ed, Eddy and Dante went to look for you guys and transportation while we did the same. Though Dante should have split from the two to look for the transportation cause he looks better on his own and with his technological inventions. We found you first and Eddy dropped of Ed as platoons of soldiers were heading our way and he met up with Dante or continued to speed through the halls to find transport. Right now Techlin should...'' Double D stopped as he just remembered their friend who went to fight more soldiers that were coming.
'' Quick everyone we need to hurry! Now!'' Ed shouted over the chatter as he sensed Double D's worry and they quickly pushed their way through the crowd of students, teachers and the parents. They opened the door quickly and looked to see the ice wall in crumbles. It was on the ground laying scattered and broken. They all looked past that to see a standing Techlin whose back was turned to them. He stood with his shield to his side and a blade in his grip as it lay in the ground.
His clothes was torn all over as he stood there unmoving like a statue. He stood guarding the hallway as soldiers lay dead on the ground and he still stood. Edd noticed the deep straight gas on the ground as if saying don't cross. Techlin's straw hat was on the ground broken and near to being just straw again.
'' Techlin? Tech? Are you still alive?'' Ed asked fearing the worst. He was answered with Techlin turning his head so that the right side of his face showed and his silver-slit eyes stared at them like they were prey. His piercing eyes turned back to normal dark blue color and he turned to them with a cheeky grin.
'' Never leave for so long.'' Techlin stated as he staggered going the opposite way of them.
'' I'm going to find Callie, she isn't here with you guys. I can't feel her aura, I need to find her before she gets mad.'' Techlin said as he walked pass the line using the sword to support himself.
'' Come on everyone lets go and parents, older kids and adults please cover the children eyes' it is not suited for the young.'' Double D stated as the mass of people moved forward their protectors guiding them as they went.
'' It was easy getting in and getting everyone else,'' The magic user said to Double D, the two a few feet ahead of said people.'' but now its going to be more harder getting out.''
They Were Rescued, But Now The Final Battle Shall Come.
AN Note response. Hello everyone. If you have skipped this then you have read my note and is wondering what the graphical actions and the rape scene will mean for this story and I am here to clarify any worries.
Now this story isn't going to be like all the other super hero stories. There will be death and there will be deaths by out Heroes. I'm adding a bit of reality to this story as I don't want it to be like all the others, this is going to stand out completely. There will be times when killing will be necessary and this will be featured through the entire series so don't expect that all of them are going to be knock out and take to prison. Just remember that and if have questions please contact me via review or PM.
Now Lily's little, rape scene was quite graphical and I just want to say that she may have seemed to recover from it as seen just minutes after her almost rape, but Lily is a tough women she putting up a front of not looking weak. After this whole adventure she will have physiological problems and will receive this as any normal human would. This is me apologizing to those who have experienced or know someone who experience rape, I'm not trying to make it look easy to recover from and I'm very sorry for this and tell me all your worries about this story and I will try my best to help you all and avoid this to my best of possibilities.
Also expect this from now on in this story. There will be times when killing is done by our heroes as I stated before so it will have a physiological effect on them and will affect the story much more than you might think. This can even hamper them to the point of even questioning why their heroes and why are they doing these evil things and still being called Heroes.
Thank you for your time as this was a message of clarifying. Rape is not some kind of joke, its serious and can have terrible affects on people of any gender, race, and age and all those around them.
