And new chapter! Sorry for the late update, but my internet connection has been failing me ever since...it happened and it took me forever to make a new chapter. Anyway I wanted to say that yes, this is an original chapter. At first I didn't want to make original chapters, because I wasn't really that good at making up new stuff, but after having no internet for almost a full year, I decided why not try it? Tell what you guys think of my first try at an original chapter and tell me if I should make more…anyway I don't own anything, except my OC'S

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

{The Misadventures of Vanessa Cunningham- Episode 1: Solo mission gone awry}

"I'm so bored." Vanessa whined, while resting on her bed in the RV as she brushed her messy hair to pass the time. "There's nothing to do! No aliens to fight, no evil plans to stop, and no reason to alien up." Vanessa said dramatically as Zeda, who was resting beside her, rolled her eyes at her master's antics as she sat up and grabbed the brush from her hands.

"Master, if you're so bored, then why don't you just call Ben and invite him over here? I'm sure he won't mind to keep you company. Turn around, please." Zeda ordered as Vanessa obediently turned around and let Zeda brush her hair.

"Even if I wanted to, I can't. Ben said that his parents are forcing him to play game night with them."

"Really? Why?" She asked as Vanessa shrugged her shoulders.

"Don't know. Ben said something about his parents wanting to spend time with him or something like that." Vanessa said as Zeda hummed in thought.

"Okay, if he is unavailable, then why not call Gwen? You two could have a girl's night out, as the humans like to call it." She said as she continued brushing Vanessa's hair.

"Again, I can't. Gwen is too busy with her studies. Makes me glad, I'm not in school anymore." She said with a smile as Zeda finished brushing her hair. "Thanks for brushing my hair."

"You're welcome. Anyway, if the Tennyson's are busy, then how about Kevin?"

"That's a great idea, Zeda!" She said as she pulled out the Zennatrix from her pockets and presented it to Zeda. "Can you dial him up for me?"

"Sure." She said as she placed her finger on the Zennatrix and it started rapidly beeping, before stopping. "There you go."

"Hello? How is this?" Kevin said with a confused tone as Vanessa grinned.

"Hey, Kevin! It's me, Vanessa!"

"Oh. Hey, kid. What's up?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me tonight? We could go out and fight aliens if you want to."

"Sorry, Vanessa. But, I can't. My car got busted a few hours ago, so I have to stay home and fix it."

"Aww, that's too bad. I really wanted to hang out tonight." Vanessa said, clearly disappointed by the news.

"Yeah, sorry, but the repairs will take all night to fix." He said as an idea popped into Vanessa head.

"Hey, why don't I come over and help you. I don't know much about fixing cars, but I can still help."

"No, no, that's fine. You don't have to come here. I mean, it's going to be really boring and-" He rambled, before being interrupted by a voice of a teenager coming from the background.

"Yo, Kevin you're out of snacks, bro." The voice said as Vanessa narrowed her eyes at the teen's voice.

"Kevin, who was that?"

"That was, uh, my friend Mitch. I invited him here to...um...play poker tonight! Yeah, play poker." He said nervously as Vanessa placed her hands on her hips.

"But didn't you say that you were going to fix you're car tonight?" Vanessa asked as Kevin audibly gulped through the receiver.

"Vanessa, I can explain." He said, before shutting up as Vanessa heard loud music and people cheering loudly in the background.

"…Kevin…are you having a party in you're house and didn't invite us...again."

Vanessa said with a cold tone as Kevin stayed silent for a few seconds, before hanging up. Vanessa shook her head in disappointment at her friend, before turning to Zeda as she laid down next to her.

"Well, Kevin is out. And with Sabrina at baseball practice, I have no one to hang out with. Not even with Ship, since Sabrina brought him along with her. I wonder what they're doing right now?"

She asked to herself as we cue back over to Sabrina, who was hiding under the bleachers with her Coach as they watch Ship going ballistic with the baseball pitcher against Sabrina's teammates.

"You're new pet is certainly…interesting, Sabrina. Where did you bought him again?" The coach asked, while ducking her head from the incoming baseballs.

"From, Japan." Sabrina responded as she smiled meekly at her coach. "I'm really sorry about this Coach Donovan, Ship is only trying to help."

"Dear, I think he is helping a little too well."

She said as she and Sabrina continued watching Ship pelting everyone in the stadium. We then cue back to Vanessa, who had a thoughtful look on her face, before shrugging as she rested her head on her pillow.

"Nah, I'm sure she is fine. Anyway, I wish there was something for me to do today." She said, while groaning in boredom as Zeda was about to suggest something, when suddenly the police scanner on the RV mysteriously turned on and the girls were instanly up to their feet.

"Breaker, breaker, we have an armed robbery at the Man of Action Art Museum and they have hostages. Requesting for police back up immediately." The police scanner said, before shutting off as the girls stared at each other.

"I didn't knew the RV had a police scanner."

"Neither did, I." Zeda said as Vanessa placed her hands on her hips.

"So, too bad for the people working at the museum, right?"

"Yep."

"And too bad for the police officers, they could probably need all of the help they can get. Especially since the robbers has hostages." Vanessa said, while glancing at the Zennatrix as Zeda caught her eye.

"Don't worry, Master." She said as she stood in front of Vanessa to block her vision of the Zennatrix, not wanting her to get any ideas. "The police are trained for this sort of thing, so there is no need to get involved."

"Well, that maybe the case, but it never hurts to help." She said as she walked through Zeda and grabbed the Zennatrix.

"Master, I don't think this a good idea." Zeda said, while giving her a stern look as she crossed her arms.

"Why not? Those robbers have hostages that need our help, besides this isn't the first time we fought crime." Vanessa argued as Zeda shook her head.

"That maybe, but this time is different."

"And why is that?"

"Because this time you're fighting against human beings this time, instead of aliens." She said as Vanessa gave her a confused look."

"So, what? I fought against humans before. Don't you remember that I fought against Cash? Or Hugo? Hell, I even fought against that asshole Morningstar."

"Master, Cash had cybernetic suit that can shoot lasers. Hugo was a trans-dimensional monster and Morningstar is Plumbers Kid with mutant powers."

Zeda said, before sighing as she grabbed her masters hand, and lead her to her bed as they sat down.

"Look, Master. I know your heart is in the right place, but this situation is very different from what you usually face against. And since the team are busy, you have no back up this time. Which means if something bad happens and you get hurt, there is no one around to save you. I'm not criticizing on your skill's master, but I do think that it's better if you let the local authorities handle this."Zeda said with a firm tone as Vanessa stared at her for a few seconds, before placing her hands on her shoulders as she gave the AI a serious look.

"Zeda, I know you are worried about me and everything, but you know I can't just sit around and do nothing. The last time I did that was when my mother died, Zeda." She said with a solemn tone as tears started prickling her eyes. "That's why I continue doing hero work with the others, because I feel that I owed it to her to use my powers to protect this earth from all threats...not just alien ones." Vanessa says as Zeda gawked at her master in shock. Vanessa rarely talks about her mother after the accident happened, and the only one's that she talks to about it was Sabrina and Ben. She also couldn't helped, but to be proud at her masters maturity.

"B-but, what if you morph back into you're human form in mid-battle. These people have guns, Vanessa. They could kill you, plus they can find about you're secret identity." She said as Vanessa eyes widen at Zeda using her name for the first time, but shrugged it off as she gave her a reassuring smile.

"Zeda, did you forget that my uncle trained me on how to use a sword and hand-to-hand combat? You don't think that he taught me on how to block/dodge bullets?" She asked as Zeda opened to mouth to argue, but Vanessa cut her off. "And about my secret identity, I'll be in my alien form all the time and if I'm forced to change back, I'll promise you that I will leave."

She said as Zeda hummed and looked away in thought, processing everything that they talked about. This was an incredibly big risk and if even one thing goes wrong, Vanessa could be hurt and maybe even killed. Or worse, Vanessa secret identity could be found and before you know, the FBI will be in there doorstep and they will be taken away.

And since Vanessa hangs out a lot with Ben and the others, they will find about their secret's as well and be taken away. Zeda really wanted to say no, but after hearing Vanessa reason to be a hero and feeling regret about not saving her mother, made her carefully thing about this decision. Finally, after a long time of thinking about it, she has made her decision.

"Do you promise to be careful?" She asked as Vanessa nodded eagerly, while wiping away the tears. "Then...fine. We can go and save those hostages." She said as Vanessa smiled excitedly and hugged her

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! You're the best AI a girl could have!" She said, before letting her go as she took a couple of steps back. "And now, since you agreed to help. It's time to Alien Up!"

She screamed as she slammed the Zennatrix on her chest and the whole RV was instantly covered in purple light. When the light died down, we see Coldphase grinning as she unfolded her wings and hovered in the air.

"Coldphase!" She screamed as Zeda nodded to her, before phasing into the Zennatrix as Coldphase took off and phased through the roof. Once outside, Vanessa did circles in the air as the sun shined down at her, causing to her smile as she took off.


"OKAY, EVERYONE STEP BACK! I SAID STEP BACK!"

A officer screamed to a large crowd of people as he and a couple of officers made a perimeter around the museum that was currently being robbed by a couple of armed men with guns. The only reason the police hadn't went in and bust the place, was because the robbers have 2 hostages with them and the robbers promised to kill the hostages if they ever entered.

"Okay, there is no need to make this worse!" An another police officer said as he is used a bullhorn to amplify his voice. "Just give up the hostages and turn yourself over to the police!" The officer negotiated as he hoped that the robbers will let go of the hostages and surrender peacefully.

"GO TO HELL YOU PIG'S!"

And of course it didn't work as one of the armed men opened fire on the police, who luckily dodge the incoming bullets as they used their cars for cover. The police officer swore under his breath as he ordered his men to expand the perimeter and wait until further instructions. Unknown to the police officers, and the crowd for that matter, Coldphase was floating in the sky as she used her intangibility powers to camouflage herself to remain unseen in the public.

"And you said the police officers had this handled?" Coldphase teased as she imagined Zeda rolling her eyes at her.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Will you stop teasing and get into the museum already?"

Zeda said, while inside of the Zennatrix as Vanessa face grew serious as she flew pass the officers and phased through the wall of the museum. Once inside, Vanessa took her time to scope out the scene as she flew through the hallways of the museum, before stopping as she heard noises coming from the dinosaur exhibit. Vanessa folded up her wings as she hid behind a column, still using her intangibility to cloak herself, and slowly peeked her head into the room.

And what she saw made her blood boil as she saw a middle-aged woman begging to the armed men to let her and her daughter go. She even went far as to say to only let go of her daughter and keep her as a hostage, but they wouldn't have it as one of them got annoyed at her constant whining and slapped her across her face

"Mommy!" The 4 year old screamed as she ran over to her mom's side and bawled her eyes out as her mother held her tight.

"Oh, look what you did! Now the kid won't shut up!" The leader of the robbers screamed as he scolded his idiotic comrade.

"Well, it wasn't my fault that she won't shut up! Besides why are even keeping them in the first place? We got what we wanted, so why don't we just go?" He asked, while gesturing to the silver case that was in the leaders hand.

"Idiot! We are keeping them hostage, because someone tripped the security system and now we have the law enforcement swarming all around us! It's bad enough that I'm forced to work in this primitive mudball, but now I'm going to have to hear the boss yelling at us for not doing the job quietly, thanks to you!" He screamed as Vanessa quirked an eyebrow at his odd choice of words, but continued listening. "Look, just stay at you're post and wait, until our ride is here and when it comes, we'll take off with the case and kill the hostages."

He said calmly as the mother cried in shock and hugged her daughter in fright as they both started crying. Vanessa took a deep breath to calm herself down as she analyzed the scene before her and noticed that there was only 5 armed men in the room, two was keeping an eye out for cops while the others watched the hostages.

"Okay, master this is a delicate situation. We can't just rush in and go guns blazing like we usually do, people lives are at stake." Zeda said as Coldphase nodded to her AI's words. "I suggest that you rescue the hostages first, before dealing with the guards."

"On it. But first, I need to distract the guards that are standing by the door. I don't think, I'm confident enough to fight against the 5 of them." Vanessa said as she took a deep breath and used her freeze breath to conjure up an ice ball, before chucking it across the hallway as she pressed herself to the wall.

"What was that?" One of the armed men asked as he and his team heard a suspicious sound in the hallway.

"Is it the cops!?" The cowardly robber said as the leader gave him a slap on the head.

"The cops are not stupid enough to risk an innocent life, doofus! It's probably just the wind or something...but just to be sure, you two go check out what made that noise was!"

The leader ordered to the two guards that were standing by the door as they nodded and left their post. Once the guards had left, Vanessa appeared out of the column as she unfolded her wings and flew over the robbers, while still in her intangible state. The Leader eyes narrow as he saw a shimmer in the air and before he and his men can react, Vanessa grabbed the hostages by their waist and phased them through the floor.

"Hey, what gives?!" One of the robbers asked as the leader stared at the floor with a calculative look on his face. Back with Vanessa we see her phasing the hostages into the basement as she let go of the hostages and landed on the ground.

"W-what are you?" The woman asked nervously as Vanessa smiled and crossed her arms.

"A hero." Coldphase said as the woman picked up her child and gave the young shape-shifter a grateful smile.

"Thank you." She said, before running off as her child looked back at Vanessa and waved.

"Bye-Bye, bug lady!" She screamed as Vanessa smiled and waved back. Once the hostages were gone, Vanessa frowned as she leaped up to the roof and phased through it. The robbers, minus the leader, stared around the room in confusion as Coldphase appeared before them and placed her hands on her hips.

"Hello, boys~! Did you think that I forgot about you?" She said, while cracking her knuckles as the robbers screamed at the sight of her.

"It's a freak! Kill it!" One of the more braver robbers screamed as he and his men, minus the leader, opened fire on Vanessa again.

"I prefer the term 'alien', but if you want to call me a 'freak', then so be it." Vanessa said, while turning intangible to dodge the incoming projectiles.

"Dammit, this isn't working!" The brave robber from before said as he and his men stopped shooting. "If bullets won't kill you, then we will. Men charge!" He screamed as he and the other two robbers charged at the alien heroine. Coldphase smiled in amusement as the robbers tried to gang up on her, but all she did was simply turned intangible and caused them to fell on the floor.

"Okay, if bullets didn't work, then why try to gang up on me?" She said with a laugh as she took a deep breath and released her freeze breath. The robbers eyes widen as they tried to avoid the incoming freeze blast, but it was too late as they were instantly frozen into the floor.

"Well, that takes care of that!" Vanessa said with a smirk as she turned over to their leader, who was acting rather cool and collected at the sight of his frozen comrades. "Now since the hostages are safe and you're friends have cold feet, why don't you just do yourself a favor and give up. I'm sure the cops will give you and you're friends a warm cell." She quipped as the leader of the gang slowly looked over at his team, before looking back at Vanessa as he chuckled.

"You think you have beaten us, child? So, what if you saved the hostages and froze my men? We still got what we came for." He said with a smirk as he dangled the silver case in front of him. Vanessa mentally scolded herself as she was to busy saving the hostages that she completely forgot to steal the case from him when she had the chance, not that she regret it though as she was happy that the mother and daughter were safe, that's what really mattered. "You see child? We have beaten you, before you even appeared. And now that the hostages are gone, we don't have to wear this silly disguise anymore."

He said as he placed his hand on the back of his neck and much to Vanessa's surprise, the man's whole body was covered in blue light and once it disappeared. We see a large purple humanoid-like alien with one eye, huge teeth and large black hair that reaches to his back. The alien was wearing a white jumpsuit with a logo of a black peace sigh on his chest, a black belt with an alien gun strapped into it, black boots and black fingerless gloves.

"Surprised?" The leader asked, amused with Vanessa stunned look.

"I don't understand. How is this possible?" She asked as she couldn't fathom at what the hell she just saw.

"You see this?" He asked as Coldphase looked down and saw that they were holding an alien-like device that resembles a white face mask. "This are ID Mask's, they are basically made to disguise aliens to look like humans. Some use it to blend in on earth better, while people like me use it to commit crimes on earth without getting spotted by the Plumbers."

"What are you?" Vanessa asked calmly, but on the inside she was freaking out as she knew that her advantage in the battle was now gone. She had no idea what kind of powers he had, so she decided to gather as much as information as she can, before starting a fight.

"We are the Kroglen's. A forgotten race of aliens that were forced to leave their own planet, because of alien invaders. My name is Captain Gantu of the Kroglen Empire" He said as Vanessa carefully listen to everything he said.

"My name is Vanessa Cunningham, but you can call me Coldphase. I'm the hero and protector of earth." She says as she saw the captain's eyebrow twitch in anger at the word 'hero', but choose to ignore it as she waited for the captain's response.

"Oh, really? If you're one of the Earth's 'protectors', then that means you're part of the Guardians, right?" He asked as Vanessa gave him a confused look.

"Guardians? What's that?" She asked as Captain Gantu smiled at her.

"So, you aren't part of the Guardians, huh? Then that means disposing you will be easy without those pesky mutants."

"Okay, dude. I have no idea what the hell you are talking about, but that doesn't matter. Why are you trying to break into museum?" Vanessa asked with a firm tone as the captain cooed at her.

"Aww, look at the little bug trying to act tough." He said as Vanessa blushed in embarrassment, but stood her ground as she glared at the large alien. "To answer you're question sweetie, let's just say that the museum had confiscated something that belongs to our boss." He said as Vanessa narrowed her eyes at the word 'boss'.

"Boss? So, you mean someone hired you to do this? Who was it?" She asked as the leader shook his finger at her and smiled.

"Nice try, princess. But I have already said too much."

Gantu said as he swiftly turned around and pulled out his gun, Coldphase couldn't react in time as he pulled the trigger and blasted the frozen prison that was holding his men. The robbers shivered from the cold as they slowly stood up and took off their disguises as well.

The other two robbers looked almost exactly like their boss, except they were noticeably more smaller than him and they didn't have hair. Also instead of wearing a white jumpsuit like their leader, they were wearing black jumpsuits with a white logo of a peace sigh on their chest's, a white belt with alien-like guns strapped on their belts, white boots and white fingerless gloves.

"And now that you have seen too much, I have no choice but to kill you." Captain Gantu said, all the playfulness from before vanished as Coldphase quirked an eyebrow at him.

"But you were the one who took off your disguise and told me you're life story? If you didn't wanted me to know, then why reveal yourself?" She said, while crossing her arms.

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe I just wanted to be dramatic, maybe I didn't wanted to go to you're primitive jail...or maybe I was stalling long enough for our ride to come here." He said as a an explosion occurred in the ceiling, causing Vanessa to cover head as she looked up and saw a helicopter hovering above her. The police outside ducked for cover as an explosion occurred on the roof, causing the ground as the chief was about to order his men to bust in. When suddenly the hostages from before appeared out of the building through the back door as they coughed loudly and both fell on the floor.

"Men, the hostages are safe! Let's get in!"

He said as a couple of officers ran over to the family's aid, while the other officer's marched towards the front doors. But much to their surprise, they were stopped by a purple force-field that appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way into the museum.

"What the hell!? What is this!?" The chief asked as a couple of officers started shooting the force-field to break it down, but it wouldn't budge. "Regroup me, we have to find a way through!" The chief screamed as we cue back over to Captain Gantu, who was grinning at a pissed off Vanessa as his men stood by his side.

"Ah, they're they are! Right on schedule." He said as Coldphase glared at him.

"And what makes you think you can kill me! Thousands of alien's tried before and didn't succeed, so bring it on!"

She said as she took a fighting stance and was about to attack, when suddenly the Zennatrix started beeping.

"...Oh, S #t." Vanessa cursed as she was forced to revert back to her human form.

"She's a human?" One of the Kroglen's asked in surprise as he and the rest of the Kroglen's were taken back from this.

"Maybe she is a Kelex, boss. You know a shape-shifter. The other Kroglen said as Gantu studied Vanessa's human form and gasped in shock at the sight of the Zennatrix.

"Oh, mother of gin, she has the Zennatrix! Seize her!" He ordered as his men instantly reacted and charged at her.

"Um, master? I think it's time to make a hasty retreat." Zeda said as Vanessa nodded nervously.

"Took the words right out of my mouth, Zeda." She said, while narrowly dodging the henchmen as she headed towards the exit. But much to her annoyance the robbers that left a while ago appeared in front of her and took off their disguises, revealing themselves to be Kroglen's as well. "Oh, come on!"

Vanessa screamed in frustration as the two aliens pulled out their guns and started shooting, Vanessa squeaked in surprise as she ducked down and rolled out of harm's way. Vanessa landed behind a dinosaur statue as the two aliens marched towards her and continued shooting.

The young heroine ducked to avoid the incoming energy blasts as she looked up and an idea popped in her head as she stood up and huffed in effort as she used her above average strength to push the dinosaur statue forwards, the Kroglen's eyes widen as they saw an incoming dino heading towards them and before they can run, it fell right on top of them. The alien robbers groaned in pain as Vanessa dusted her hands and smirked as she stood in front of them.

"And Kevin said that fossils are useless." Vanessa quipped as Captain Gantu and his goons ran towards them and saw what she did.

"Men, get her!"

Captain Gantu ordered as his men opened fire and Vanessa quickly jumped out of the way as stray energy blasts flew pass her, Vanessa rolled across the ground as she took out her swords and swiftly ran to her enemy. Vanessa grinned as she leaped up and did a twirl in the air, before bring connecting her swords as she slashed one of the robber's chest.

The alien hissed in pain as Vanessa landed on the floor and bends down as she sweeps him off his feet. The Kroglen landed on the floor hard as Vanessa bring out her foot and kicks him in the temple, causing him to be knocked out as Vanessa sheathed her swords. The other kroglen quickly went to his comrades defense as he raised his gun and pulled the trigger, but thankfully Vanessa's reflexes came in as she rolled out of the line of fire and appeared in front of the alien as she grabbed his arm and twisted it.

The robber screamed in pain as Vanessa applied more pressure in her grip, before letting go as the alien fell on the floor as he nursed his broken wrist. Vanessa then leaped on the alien's back as she grabbed him by the shoulders and tossed him across the room, the robber screamed in pain as he crashed against the wall and fell down as he slowly went unconscious. Captain Gantu growled at Vanessa as he couldn't believe his own men were taking down by a human teenager in under two minutes and it seems she was barely even trying! This was completely unacceptable! He had to do something.

"Impressive, human." He said as Vanessa stood up and dusted her hands. "You have managed to defeat my henchmen in under two minutes without breaking a sweat." He said, while glaring at his defeated men as Vanessa gave him a cheeky smile.

"Well, I had practice in dealing with aliens bigger than me. And now all that remains is you, so why don't you hand over that pretty little case and I won't tell anyone that you were defeated by a little girl." She says as Captain Gantu glared at her and slowly marched over to her. Vanessa rose an eyebrow at his cold demeanor as she stood in a fighting stance and waited for him to attack.

"Vanessa, whatever you don't take him lightly. He hasn't attacked you yet for a reason and without you're alien forms, you are completely defenseless against him!" Zeda warned as Vanessa nodded to her.

"Don't worry, Zeda. I got this." She said confidently as she clenched her hands into a fist and threw a punch at the large alien, but much to her surprise, Gantu caught her fist with ease. "What the-!?" Vanessa asked in surprise, before regaining her composure as she threw another punch. And again he caught it as he lifts her up and headbutts her to the floor.

"So, this is what Earth has to offer as protectors? That's really cute."

He said as Vanessa grabbed her forehead and moaned in pain as she felt like her head was hit by a brick wall. Vanessa cursed herself for getting too cocky against him as she stupidly thought he will be knocked down like the rest of his people. How stupid was she!? Judging by his size and the fact that he was their leader should have given her a clue that she had to be more careful around him, she should have taken Zeda's warning more seriously!

After recovering from the captain's attack, Vanessa rolled out of the way as he raised his leg and slammed it on the floor, causing spider cracks to appear on the floor as she stood up and threw a kick at him. Which he dodge as he responded with a left hook, causing her to bend down as she then did a backflip kick that send him flying into the air and crashed against a dinosaur statue.

Captain Gantu groaned from the impact as he stood up and watched as Vanessa looked down at him and gave him a 'Come and get me' gesture. Gantu took the challenge as he took out his gun and started shooting her, causing her to react instantly as she pulled out her swords and used them to block all the energy blasts. While she maybe his enemy, Gantu had to admit that his opponent defiantly has some skill as he watched her block all the shots with the grace and style of a true swordswoman.

Once he ran out of ammo, the captain tossed his gun aside as Vanessa rush at him and the sounds of sword meeting flesh could be heard as she appears behind him and a large gaping wound could be seen on the captain stomach. Vanessa sheathed back her swords as she slowly walked over to the captain, who seem to be in a great deal of pain as the young heroine stood beside him and crossed her arms.

"Okay, look. You seem to be in real pain right now and I don't want to hurt you anymore, so why don't you just tell me where you're boss is and we can end this all peaceful-ACK!"

Vanessa said, before stopping in mid-sentence as the captain grabbed her by her neck and glared at her as he reared back his fist and punched her, causing her to be send flying across the room as she crashed through a wall and landed on the hallway. The police officers outside felt a small tremor coming from the museum as the Chief frowned and turned to his men.

"All right, men! Judging by the force-field on the front door and the small earthquake's we been feeling, whatever that is in their is clearly out of our league. So, since we have the hostages, I suggest that we stay out here and wait for something to happen." He said as the police officers gave him blank looks. "What? Do you have any better ideas? Just follow my orders!" He said as the police officers glanced at each other, before nodding reluctantly as they knew that they couldn't do anything about the force-field, so they decided to wait.

"Don't worry, Mr. Police Officier man. The bug lady will stop the bad guys for sure!" The 4 year old said, while inside of an ambulance with her mother as they were being treated by the paramedic's.

"Bug lady? What are you talking about sweetie?" The chief said, while bending down at the little girl's eye level as she beamed at him.

"I'm talking about the bug lady that saved me and mommy." She said cutely as the chief glanced at the mother for conformation and she nodded.

"She is not lying, officer. One minute, we were in front of the robbers and the next minute, a weird bug-like creature appeared out of nowhere and saved us." She said as the chief's face harden from the new information.

"Do you know what she is?"

"I don't know and I don't really care. She saved me and more importantly my daughter's life, that is what really matters." She says as the chief looked over at the museum and sighed heavily.

"Okay. Now, I'm really sure that we are way over our heads." He said as we cue back over to Vanessa, who was groaning in pain as she felt the wind being knocked out of her by the force of the punch. The young shape-shifter couldn't remember the last time she was hurt this bad, not even in those secret missions that her uncle took her was she hurt this bad.

Gantu slowly came out of the hole in the wall as he walked over to Vanessa and sneered at the sight of her whimpering form as he grabbed her by the neck again and slammed her to the wall. Vanessa moaned pain as she tried to escape from the alien's grip, but she wasn't strong enough to break free. She can't even reach for the Zennatrix, she was completely defenseless.

"Aww, what's wrong? I thought you were supposed to be this world's 'hero'. What happened to that confidence from before?" He mocked as Vanessa clawed at his arm in an attempt to free herself, but all he did was simply slam her into the wall again and dropped her to the floor. "Ooh, ooh, let me guess. You're one of those people who acts toughs and beats up weaker villains to seem superior-"

He said, before pausing as he bends down to Vanessa's eye level and takes off her glasses. Vanessa weakly glared at him as he grabs her chin and forced her to look at him as he held her glasses with a firm grip.

"But when faced with a true threat, you ran away like a coward and let others finish the battle for you. That's the kind of people that really pisses me off!"

He said as he squeezed his hand and effortlessly breaks the glasses. Vanessa eyes widen in shock/anger as she saw her sister's gift, her most priced possession, fall down on the ground as it's shattered remains laid across the ground. Vanessa shakily stretch out her hand to grab the broken pieces from the ground, but Gantu wouldn't have it as he harshly grabbed by her wrist and lifts her off the ground.

"It's people like you that makes me sick to my stomach!"

He said as his men, who had recovered from their fights, started appearing in the hallway as they made a circle around them and cheered for their captain. Captain Gantu then slammed Vanessa on the ground, causing her to groan from the impact as Gantu placed his foot on Vanessa's chest and held her in place with his super strength.

"It's people like you that feels me with intense rage!"

He screamed as he grabbed Vanessa's hat and tossed it in the air as he took out his other gun and blasted it. Hot tears rush down Vanessa's face as the hat that her father gave her, when she was a child, burn to ashes right before her very eyes. Now, Vanessa may hate her father for what he did to her and Sabrina in the past, but that doesn't mean that she didn't still loved him for the man that he used to be and now the only reminder that she had about his old self was now gone.

"It's people like you that destroyed our world! You see decades ago, our world were invaded for the very first time by the Manhunters. They are these tall ungodly-like creatures that killed everything in their sights and we were absolutely terrified of these creatures. We prayed for someone to save us, and won't you know it? Our prayers were answered.

A hero by the name of Sir Justice came along and he used his amazing powers to vanquish the foe, thus saving the planet Krog from the Manhunters. After that our world lived in peace for a few years, before being invaded again. This time by the Incursean's and like last time, our hero came forth to save the day...but this time he didn't. The Incursean's were simply too much for him and do you know what he did? He ran. He ran from the fight like a coward and left us at the hands of the invaders.

We became slaves to our invaders for a long time, until I decided that we had enough and I lead a handful of my people to escape from our own home planet. We were stuck floating in space for 20 years on our spaceship, until we crashed landed on this pathetic excuse of a planet and the rest was history. Now, you maybe wondering, why am I telling you this? Well, that's because you remind me of him. A hero who is all talk and no bark."

He said, before growing more serious as he bends down and started whispering in Vanessa's ear.

"That is what you are. A pathetic excuse for a hero that gives people false hope, before crushing it to a million pieces as you show them you're true colors. I want to kill you so bad, but my boss heard of the famous Zennatrix and he wanted us to keep an eye out for it. And since you have it, I'm forced to bring you to our boss, so you can explain to her how it works. But know this, after you're done explaining how this device works and share with us it's secrets, I will kill you."

He said with an ominous tone as he reared back his fist and punches her face, Vanessa groaned in pain as her vision started getting blurry and the last thing she could remember was the laugh of the Kroglen's in the background, before everything went black.

"Alright, men! Tie her up and bring her to the helicopter!" He ordered as his men nodded and tied up the unconscious heroine with a rope as Captain Gantu bends down and grabs the Zennatrix from Vanessa's chest. "You won't be needing this anymore." He said with a chuckle as he and his men started making their way to their helicopter. Not noticing a figure hiding in the shadows as it watch the Kroglen's making their escape.

"The Kroglen's are making their move, you want me to follow them, sir?" It asked, while communicating to it's leader through an earpiece, as it leaped on the wall and scaled it. Once he reached the roof, he hid behind a wall as he peeked over and saw the Kroglen's tossing Vanessa unconscious form into the helicopter.

"Yes. We will proceed as planned." The leader of the mysterious figure said as the Kroglen's started up the helicopter and the wings started spinning fast.

"What about the girl, sir?" It said as it ran towards the helicopter and leaped up as it used its hands and feet to stick himself to the side of the helicopter.

"Don't worry about the girl, Chameleon. She can take care of herself, just focus on the mission at hand." The leader said as Chameleon sighed, but nodded as it held on tight.

"Understood, Director Danvers." Chameleon said as he and the helicopter took off into the sky. On the street, the chief narrowed his eyes at the helicopter as he pulled out his megaphone and turned to his men.

"Men, follow that helicopter!" The chief ordered as they all jumped into their police car and drove after the helicopter.


And done! Man, who knew making original chapters could be both exhausting and fun at the same time?

Anyway as always, I will talk to you all later.
