Battle against the Darkness
In the city of Arendale a young man ran with a young boy in his arms. His destination was the huge ice castle created by the heroine Ice Queen to protect the citizens from the dark spirits. In the center of the city all citizen were heading there. The young man was tall, blonde, and very muscular. He ran as fast as he could.
But he had to skid to a stop when suddenly an inky mass landed in front of him. Dark as a shadow and with yellow ominous eyes it moved eerily along the ground as it watched him. The young man cursed and held the child against his chest. He tried to move right, but the spirit mimicked him. He tied left, but it did the same. It was intent on not letting him go.
"HEY UGLY!" suddenly came a shout from above. The spirit looked up before being hit with a crimson fireball. It gave a howling screech as its body was burned and scorched into oblivion.
The young man released a sigh in relief before looking up. And descending from the sky was the other hero of the Arendale, and his girlfriend, Firestar. She landed in front of him and looked him over.
"You ok?" she asked in concern.
"Yeah, I'm good," he said with a nod. She smiled as she took a step forward.
"You're so brave," she said batting her eyes at him flirtatiously.
"You're not so bad yourself hot stuff," he joked back. She giggled. She stepped forward and was about to rise on her toes to kiss him when suddenly a rush of icy wind blew past them. They looked up to see ice shards rip through spirits that had been advancing on them.
"Focus Firestar!" came the shout of Ice Queen as she skated above their heads while battling the spirits.
"RIGHT SORRY!" she shouted up to her. "Gotta go babe," she whispered as she gave him a quick peck on the lips. Gathering her powers she shot into the sky and after her partner.
Kristoff watched her go with a smile. Considering himself the luckiest man in the world. Then he turned and ran to the ice palace. When he got there he was allowed entry by the snow monster guard protecting the citizens inside.
Once safe inside he glanced out to see the crimson streak shooting across the city, blasting fireballs at the dark forces trying to destroy it.
"Good luck Anna," he whispered.
Above the buildings Firestar kept the spirits at bay with waves and waves of her crimson flames. She burned at them with her fury, destroying them in an instant. But their numbers seemed endless.
"They just keep coming. What do we do?" she asked her partner.
"Keep fighting!" Ice Queen shouted back. Calling forth the storm inside of her she summoned the winds. Soon a blizzard started to form, freezing and sending the spirits tumbling and flying madly in its maelstrom.
It would help keep them back. But it wouldn't hold them all off forever.
But it didn't matter. They wouldn't give up.
In Opar city an old woman shrieked in terror as she was being carried across rooftops at blinding speeds by her agile and strong savior. In a leather jacket, brown pants, boots, and a spear across his back was Ghost Ape. Hero of Opar city.
And right now he was carrying her to safety and away from the dark spirits. His animal instincts told him they were danger. That running was the only option. So he did what he could to help protect the people.
Luckily, he wasn't alone.
In a golden flash an arc of light flew past him and sliced the spirit in half. He looked back to see more arcs flying passed him and destroying countless spirits.
"Get the woman to safety Ghost Ape," came the voice on his ally. He turned to see a blonde man in shining golden armor and a blue cape.
With a nod he ran past him, getting the woman to the safe house warded by his ally's magic.
Paladin looked into the sky as he held his holy sword at the ready. Prepared to vanquish more spirits. The NSA had dispatched him here to help Ghost Ape since he was unable to destroy the spirits himself.
The spirits suddenly turned their attention to him. They swarmed him. But he simply raised his shining sword up. With a downward swing he struck the ground and sent out a burst of holy light, destroying them in one foul swoop.
He allowed himself only momentary pride as he prepared to safe the countless hoards still coming at him.
Doing the best they could, the Fantasia unit defended the city they were in with all they had. Setting up a barricade they shot at the spirits while their shaman teammate was preparing her spell. She stood behind them with her eyes closed as she chanted in her ancient tongue.
"How's the spell coming PH?" Jane shouted. PH didn't answer as she kept chanting.
"Captain, I hope you got a plan, cuz I'm just wasting bullets here," Meg said as she replaced the clip in her machine gun.
Their bullets just temporarily disrupted the spirits. Slowed them down, but they need to destroy them.
"Backup is on its way Meg. Just keep shooting!" Jane shouted as she replaced the magazine in her gun. "Belle, what's the ETA on our backup?"
Belle hung up her phone as she peaked over a car and shot at an advancing spirit. "They're almost here!" and sure enough a jeep suddenly drove through the mass of spirits. It drove past their barricade and out stepped a woman with a tanned complexion and long raven curls. From the passenger seat came a woman with long red hair.
"About time Esmerelda," Jane said running up to her. "Did you bring them?" she asked her teammate.
"Yes captain," Esmerelda said with a nod as she opened up the hatch to the jeep. In the back were many crates of ammo.
"Look out!" screamed the red head. She knocked the two of them aside as a dark spirit broke through and lashed out at them. It shot out a black tendril and pierced her through the heart.
Jane reacted quickly. She got up and quickly replaced her magazine with a new one Esmerelda had brought. Taking aim, she fired. Her bullet ripped through the spirit and destroyed it.
"Excellent work Es," she said to her teammate.
Esmerelda smiled proudly. While she may not be as magically gifted as PH, her protection charms and enchantments were top notch. The bullets were enchanted with magic to destroy the spirits. Grabbing a few clips she shouted to Meg and tossed her a few.
Then she turned her attention to her impaled teammate. She looked at her motionless form. "You ok Sally?" she asked.
Sally remained motionless before blinking a few times. And then with a groan she sat up. "Yeah. That was just unpleasant," she said with a shudder. Being a zombie had its perks.
Suddenly a white glow caught their attention and they turned to see PH surrounded by an aura of light. Her eyes glowed white as she prepared to exorcise the thousands of spirits.
"Simba, come forth," she commanded as she summoned her contracted spirit to aid her. In an instant a silhouette of a golden lion with a fiery red mane appeared at her side. She thrust her hand forward as it roared.
He power shot outward in a wave of white light. The dark spirits were sent flying back as they were banished to the netherworld. In an instant the sky was clear…for now.
PH dropped to a knee in exhaustion. Having to exorcise all those spirits at once was very taxing on her. Even as the most powerful shaman in the world.
"You good PH?" Meg asked in concern.
"I'll…be…ok," she said between ragged breaths.
"Take a break PH. With our new ammo we can hold them off," Jane said as she looked at the sky. She could see the inky blackness coming again.
This was far from over.
In the Atlantic Ocean admiral Eric of the battleship S.S. Poseidon shouted orders to his men. They'd been informed by the government on what was happening and he was doing the best he could to keep the spirits from reaching the land. Unfortunately even with their weapons, they weren't enough. No ordinary weapon by man could hold them off.
"Admiral, look there," shouted one of his men. Eric looked into the waters and smiled as he saw the ebb and glow from beneath the surface. Then the water began to swirl into a whirlpool. It grew stronger and stronger as the person controlling it prepared her magic.
Then from the sea a huge spiraling vortex of water suddenly shot up. It rose into the sky and at the top of it, with the vortex spiraling around their lower body was Sea Knight. Heroine of the deep and defender of the ocean.
She called forth the power of the sea and made huge waves of charged magic wash the spirits away. Summoning more water she wrapped some around her arms. Then she split them into smaller sections, like the tentacles of an octopus she whipped at the spirits trying to get past her. And made a huge wall of water to stop those that did.
Though not a human herself she love the surface world. For in it was her beloved. And as long as she lived she would defend the humans with all her might.
In Arch Aide city a young couple was about to be pounced on by several dark spirits. They'd been running hand in hand, trying to get way and to safety when they'd fallen in their panic. Defenseless all they could do was watch in terror as they were about to be killed.
But then bolts of electricity ripped through the spirits. They shrieked and their energies were dispersed. The couple looked bewildered as suddenly in a flash a young girl appeared in front of them in a mask. She floated in the air as electricity sparked and arched around her.
"Get to safety. Go!" she shouted. They nodded before getting up and running. Glitch let them go. Turning into electricity she shot into a power line before making her way across the city. As the fastest of her team she had to cover the most ground and defend the most people.
Meanwhile spirits were being blasted by Calhoun as she stood in a street and shot at them. Drawing them to her to give the civilians the time to run. A small horde tried to overwhelm her as they barreled down on her. But from the side came a spinning golden hammer, flying through the air it ripped through them, destroying them before making a large arc and flying back to its wielder.
"You ok hun?" Fixit asked as he caught his hammer.
"Fine darling. Now keep throwing that thing. It seems to work very well," she shouted to him as she kept firing.
Fixit nodded before taking aim. As a wave came at him his partner suddenly crashed into he ground in front of him. Bringing his hands up to his sides he slammed his palms together, blowing the spirits away with a shockwave.
"I can't hit these things. What the hell do I do?" he shouted in frustration.
"Iron work well on ghosts," Calhoun shouted.
Coming up with an idea Wreckit ran to a nearby tool shop. Rummaging though it he grabbed a length of long chain. He snapped it in half with a small tug and wrapped them around his huge arms.
Coming out of the shop a spirit shirked before flying at him. With shout he swung at it. It screeched as the iron disrupted it, actually managing to damage it.
"Now we're talking."
In a small rural town in France the townspeople were huddled inside their local church as a young woman dressed in black was battling against some dark unholy forces.
Mavis leapt and lunged over the spirits s she stabbed at them with her iron fire poker. She knew a thing or two about ghosts and this was the best she could do. The church was the only safe place for the citizens as she fought to keep them at bay.
She suddenly cried out as she was pierced through the shoulder.
"MAVIS!" her boyfriend shouted in worry. He was about to run out to her when she looked at him with glowing blue eyes.
"STAY BACK JOHNNY!" she commanded harshly. While she loved him, he wasn't immortal. With a snarl she leapt back, freeing herself from the spirit and threw the fire poker at it. It pierced a hole in it and it screeched in pain.
Raising her arms up she used her telekinesis to shift and rip the iron fencing around the church out of the ground. With a wave of her arms she sent the metal spikes flying at the spirits.
She may not be a superhero anymore, but that didn't mean she would stand by and let the innocent die.
Not if she could stop it.
In Hong Kong china a wave of spirits was about to attack a young group of children. But before they could get to them a large figure stepped in front of them.
"Golden Lotus Clap," the figure shouted as he slammed his palms together and sent forth a golden burst of energy. The spirits were destroyed in an instant.
"Excellent work, Dragon Warrior," said a young woman in a Chinese quipao with golden vine designs and black pants. Her arms were covered in black tattoos and her eyes were yellow and orange like a cat's.
"Heh, thank you Master Tigress, I do my best," the man said with a proud smirk.
"Did you remember to close your eyes?"
"…I did not," he said as he was blinded by his own technique.
Tigress rolled her eyes before looking around for Master Shifu.
