Episode 10: The ultimate power.
[PROLOUGE]
The town of Royal Woods was blissfully quiet under the cover of night. The streets silent and empty, save for the cool breeze passing through. However, not all of the town's inhabitants were asleep. In the dark alleyways, there was a pair of mysterious figures wearing large black coats, and they were in a hurry.
"Quickly! The sooner we do this, the better." The first figure called out in a voice just above a whisper. He sounded male, with a rather Shakespearean tone in his voice.
"I'm sorry. It's just difficult to run in heels." The second apologized in a feminine voice. "Oh forget it..." The woman grumbled as she bent down and took off her glittery red high heels. She kicked them aside with her now bare feet and followed her partner down the alley. They rushed through the town until they eventually reached a blue building that was taller than the others. Glancing around, the pair saw a fire escape ladder and quickly began to climb it. As they climbed, the woman started to let out an energetic, almost psychotic giggle.
"Are you alright?" Her companion asked.
"I'm sorry, I'm just so excited that we're doing this." The woman answered. The man chuckled as they reached the top of the building and helped his accomplice up. They both looked out towards Royal Woods and the man sighed.
"Rather nostalgic, isn't it?" He asked wistfully.
"Yes. It reminds us of the day we met. We were both going through such unspeakable hardship and pain."
"Then everything changed on that wonderful day." As the pair reflected on that conversation, they slowly leaned closer towards each other, joining hands. "But although that pain led to our joy, it doesn't excuse the rest of the world for their sins." The man spat. The woman began to scowl beneath the hood of her coat.
"This world has tainted. And that fact has become more apparent with the increase in meta humans and criminals. All blind and spreading the flames that destroy everything." She hissed as her grip on her partners hand tightened.
"But tonight, we shall cleanse it. We will cleanse the world and open their eyes as they bask in the glorious power that fuels us!" The man's grip tightened as well.
"And for those that are already familiar with the power we possess, they will submit to it entirely. And without question!" The woman declared as she let go of her partner's hand.
"Tonight, Royal Woods. Tomorrow, the world! Oh hohohohoho!" As she laughed, the man couldn't help but scoff.
"Just Royal Woods? Please, you must have more confidence." He remarked, getting the woman's attention. "I believe that by sunrise, our little, *ahem*, bug, will have infected all of Michigan." He boasted. It was then the woman couldn't contain herself anymore.
"AHHH! I can't wait a moment longer. Our moment of triumph is so close and the pain of anticipation is worse than before my suffering before you!" She shrieked.
"Agreed. No more stalling. Now is the time for action!" The gentleman stated as he held his hand towards the woman. "Take my hand, my dear." The woman nodded with a smile and complied happily. Both mysterious individuals closed their eyes and leaned closer towards each other. As they did, a large amount of pink mist began to vent out of their hands. The cloud grew in size and began to drift down to the ground below.
The fog spread out farther and farther throughout the city. Eventually, it reached Franklin Avenue and began to sneak into The Loud Residence. As the pink mist spread out through the house, a sleeping Mr. and Mrs. Loud began to stir. Rita sniffled a little bit as the vapor got swept up her nose. She let out a quick sneeze and shivered in response. After she did, she turned in her sleep so she was facing her husband, unconsciously wrapping an arm around him. Sensing his presence, Rita sighed and hugged her husband tighter. Blissfully unaware of what was unfolding.
And thus, the stage is set.
I assume you have questions like "Who were those two?", "What was that gas?", and "What other powers do they have?". I assure you, all will be revealed in time. Until then... farewell.
