But would they in fact ever become strong without being taught?
Chapter: 3
The Band's Back Together
* * * * *
The blue jeans touched down upon the dark blue plastic as Orion took his seat. He glanced to one site at the oversized Falcor as he fitted himself into the seat then sat down his back pack.
He smiled at the site as he moved his own pack off his desk onto the cold white floor.
He leaned up and glanced around as his hands sat upon the hard gray desk. His eyes wondered the room. Looking over all the articles and posters glued to the white concrete walls. Then his eyes came back to him and he turned to look over at Destin, who quietly took the seat to his left. And there they sat, in the back of the room. Away from the preps and with views of the chicks, the perfect place, hence forth the name… The Lords of the Back Row.
After assigning the tardies to the boys, the teacher resumed his teaching.
"Well being the last week of school, I've decided that we should take a look at current/ local news instead of Ancient History." The bald man said as he adjusted his glasses on his wrinkled face. With that he retrieved the remote from his desk and flipped over to ZTV for the news.
"Now class I'd like for you to be quiet while we watch the news." He said, taking a seat at his desk.
The news started off boring until the screen went blank for a second, and a man wearing a brown suit flashed up on the screen saying, "We interrupt the regularly scheduled program for a special news bulletin"
Orion perked a brow at the line and decided it'd be best if they did listen.
The news anchor sighed then started, "For the second time this week the Satan City Bank is being robbed. This time the thieves are taking a long time, and appear to be searching for something…they have many hostages…" the words trailed off in Orion's mind as emotions began to stur within. First it was sorrow for the hostages, but after the news anchor continued to talk it slowly drifted towards anger.
He gripped the sides of the desk trying to restrain his emotions within. He slowly constructed a box within his mind and fed his emotions into it.
His head throbbed as he focused the sorrow, the anger, all into that one box. He closed his eyes and bit his bottom lip. Then he gripped onto the desk for one last moment until he released his grip, and regained control. His eyes flickered opened and he looked to his left and right as Falcor and Destin stared blankly at the desk.
"Oro?" he murmured to himself then joined them in staring at the desk. 5 longs cracks ran through the desk connecting to each other, and the sides were completely crumbled.
"…having… problems?" Destin asked with his brow still raised.
Orion looks into Destin's icy blue eyes for a second and nodded. Then he glanced towards the TV.
"We have to help." He whispered emotionless.
"h-how, we're locked up in here." Destin whispered; trying to be emotionless, even though he was a bit frightened by the speck of a anger Orion had showed.
That's how Orion had beaten Destin in the tournament. The two were having a hell of a fight. The winner to be trained by Vegeta. Destin was young then and a little cocky.
Once he started winning he beat Orion down pretty bad, but made the mistake as he started bragging about how he was going to get training because he was so much better. Finally Orion reached a point where he couldn't take it anymore and beat Destin in a power struggle. Destin was using the Gallic Gun, that Vegeta had taught him, to finish him off. But Orion, surprising, countered using the Kamehameha that he had secretly learned while watching the adults fight. It was Orion's first time using it and Orion had almost lost, but Destin started saying "I'm the best! I AM THE BEST!" It anger Orion allowing him to use more power enough to beat Destin!
After that Destin stopped being arrogant and never made Orion mad again.
Orion never knew why Destin suddenly changed, but he liked the new Destin better so he never asked.
Orion stared down at his hand upon the desk, and closed it popping the fingers as he did. He squeezed his hand into a tight fist, before hearing Destin say. "Dude calm down, and look what I have.
Destin extended his hand to Orion with the palm flat up. Orion stared at the three capsules upon his palm. "Oro?"
"They're capsule androids… of us" Destin whispered. Falcor reached in a grabbed the red one.
"Black is you," Destin said to Orion with a nod.
Orion nodded back and took the capsule. He held the capsule looking at it for a second before he said, "We need a distraction." As the last word rolled off his tongue thunder clapped loudly in the sky and rain came falling down.
"Heh," Orion murmured as he instantly got an idea.
The rain beat down upon the ground as thunder continued to boom within the clouds.
"Destin, raise your feet." He said plainly.
Falcor looked at Orion with a perked brow of confusion, "I think the weather is affecting his head."
Orion glared at Falcor paying no attention to Falcor. "Raise your feet"
Destin sighed and lifted his feet off the ground slightly.
"Now move them… fast"
Destin stared mindlessly at Orion.
"Move them fast enough to make a whistling noise" Orion said in a slight whisper.
Destin reluctantly started moving his feet. His speed began to increase faster and faster until it began to whistle.
"What's that?" the teacher said as he sat up in his desk.
"I-It sounds like a tornado." Orion said as he sat up in his desk with his face masked with worry.
"It does!" the teacher yelled out.
sucker Orion smiled.
Destin stifled a laugh and sped up his feet giving the assumption that the "tornado" was getting closer.
"Oh shit!" The teacher exclaimed. "Everyone get under your desk!"
A blur of blue, red, and black blasted from the school doors with super human speed.
"I'm gonna go on ahead!" Dash said as he ran between Takaman and Black Bat Saiyaman.
Saiyaman nodded, and with an instant the image of Dash faded away replaced by powerful wind and a trail of dust.
How did he get so fast! Falcor thought to himself with wide eyes.
* * * * *
"Where is it!" the man bellowed into the Bank tellers face.
"I-I don't know…" the plump man replied with a stutter.
"Then you're useless to me." The powerfully built man as he dropped the fat guy, and stepped back; retrieving his gun from his belt.
Fear flooded through man's mind as he cowered in fear.
The muscle man smiled and fired off a round at his head…
The barrel smoked for a second, but suddenly the man's eyes jumped wide.
"It's not nice to point guns at people." Dash said in a corny voice.
"Fool!" he yelled firing off a few rounds at Dash. Dash stood still as a blur faded away from in front of him.
"WHAT?!" the man bellowed loudly, "How can you still be standing!"
"Simple… you didn't hit me" Dash said with an evil smirk.
"AAHH!!" the man screamed as he began to shoot. Pulling the trigger as fast as he could.
The bullet flew fast at Dash, but before they hit him disappeared in the blur in front of him.
"WHAT! NO WAY!!!" the robber yelled as he continued to unload his gun on Dash.
He pulled the trigger a few more times but only heard a clicking sound, "Fuck!"
Dash smirked, as he opened his clenched fist. "Looking for these?" he said as the bullets fell to the ground clanking loudly on the hard floor.
Dash looked over the astonished man. He was powerfully built and was wearing a black soldier uniform, with a patch on the front pocket of that looked like a red bow tie, and in each side there was a 'R'
"What do the two R's stand for" Dash asked plainly as he glared at it.
"Red Ribbon… the people that are going to kill your Super Hero ass!!" the man fell into a sprint at Dash pulling out his Bowie knife. He slashed forward but found only air.
Dash dropped down and slung around his legs tripping him up. The man flipped completely in a jumping cart wheel!
Dash jumped up and landed in his infamous tiger stance. His legs slightly bent and his feet about 12in. from each other. His arms crossed at the wrist with each hand made into a tiger claw. He dropped his brows, "Who wants some?!"
The men stared at Dash for a second or two then laughed. "See if you can catch lazers!" they yelled and began firing. Dash glared at the lasers as they sped towards him.
He couldn't catch lasers! They would eat him alive… If only he were stronger… if only… A bright red light came before Dash face stripping him of his ability to see. Dash covered his eyes from the light until it began to dim. Then he slowly rose his head.
"Sup" Saiyaman said with a smirk as he stood behind the big wall of bright red ki.
Takaman stood his limbs stretched out, emitting a wall of protecting ki from the front of his body.
"Did you forget the energy shield?" Saiyman said with his back turned from Takaman.
"Guess so…" Dash said lowly. "But I didn't forget this." He mumbled as he once again lowered his brows and crossed his arms. Dash stared at the men until suddenly their blasters just stopped working.
Falcor sighed and dropped his arm. The shield of ki faded away as Saiyaman smirked the two heroes work.
"Good job."
"Dash and Takaman you take care of the goons. I'll check out the inside." Saiyaman said in a corny voice.
His cape flapped up as he leaped over the bank counter and sprinted towards the vault.
Dash smirked as he fell into his tiger stance. Takaman sighed and slipped into his Falcon Stance. The crimson colored energy rose from the ground under Falcor's feet, as he went into his stance, clutching his fingers in a talon like form, and spreading his feet apart with a grin on his face.
* * * * * *
Saiyaman peered inside the vault to see a big man busting through stuff in search of something.
"Whatcha looking for mister?" Saiyaman said in a kiddy voice.
"The Dragonball" the man said; not even glancing in Black Bat Saiyaman's direction.
"Why?"
"Because I want it! Now scram kid!" he yelled still not looking at him.
"Why?"
"Because I said for you to!" he bellowed until he finally looked back at him.
His eyes widened for a moment then he…. Began to laugh!
"Who the hell are you?! Batman?!" he laughed; slapping his hand on his leg.
"Heh, close" Saiyaman dropped his brows. "I am…" he closed his hands popping the joints as they formed fist.
"Black… Bat…."
* * * * * *
"I wonder what's taking-" Falcor was cut off. "SAIYAMAN!!!" came the loud corny voice as the thief came flying out of the vault over the counter onto his head in classic anime style.
Saiyaman stepped from the vault dusting his hands off.
"Wow you are so cool." Falcor said sarcastically, as him and Dash leaned back against the counter.
"Heh," Saiyaman said as he easily jumped the counter. His black boots landed softly as he approached the robber who he had just thrown.
"Touch him and this place will crumble!" came a voice from above.
He perked a brow and turned to see a man floating in the air.
But he felt no power level… and energy is givin off in flight.
The 3 heroes glared at the floating man, until Falcor began to pry, "How do you float without giving off energy?"
"Androids don't give of energy you idiot" the man laughed.
"Now give me the dragonball and let me and my men leave." He said in a more serious tone.
"Why should we?!" Falcor yelled with a bit of anger in his voice.
"Because if you don't… I'll destroy this place."
Dash fell into his mind and began to talk telepathically, "Guys we don't know how strong this guy is… we don't know if he could destroy this place…" he sighed and nodded to Saiyaman.
The large man got up and ran and jumped over the counter, the heroes sat patiently as the villains took control. The large man emerged with the Dragonball. He held it up allowing the android to see it. Then he tossed up to him and went to untie the others.
The heroes looked at each other nervously as they knew how bad they wanted to attack, but suppressed that feeling for the sake of the hostages.
The android looked down at them; his black suit molding to his body and the metal R R symbol reflecting the sun.
"Good job boys," he said as one of his men threw down his capsule and with a poof a huge copter appeared.
The android flew down and stood at the door after the others had entered it. "Well we must be off…"
At this point the heroes were so tense they would have attacked if he said 'boo'
"One more thing…" the android's eyes began to glow for a split second until they shot out two rays that broke through two support columns.
"Fuck!" Falcor yelled as he raced to grab the column.
Orion and Falcor held the columns just long enough for Dash to get the people out.
And minutes later they stood staring at the collapsed bank.
"We suck" Falcor said plainly as smoke and dust floated off the wreckage…
But would they in fact ever become strong without being taught?
