The Outer Limits

Chapter 5

* Susan's House *

The girls were all just hanging out at Susan's on a Sunday, their day off at school.

"So who do you think that guy was?" Susan asked.

"I don't know! Why are you asking me!" Amanda said.

"I thought he was kinda cute." Stacey smiled.

"You already got a boyfriend!" Susan told her.

"Oh no!"

"What is it Amanda?" Susan asked.

"Carlos! I'm supposed to meet him at the movies! Sorry guys, I gotta go!" Amanda grabbed her bag and ran out of the house.

The two girls sighed at Amandas' forgetfulness.

"So Stacey wanna go to the arcade?"

"Sorry, can't. Going shopping with my mom."

"Ok bye." Stacey waved goodbye and left. Five minutes later Susan checked to make sure she had her wallet and left, for the arcade.


* Arcade *

"Ok, I have about 6 dollars… just enough." Susan started over towards the shooting games. In a short while a crowd surrounded her. She had just gotten though 7 chapters of a new shooting game on about 2 dollars.

"Mowahahahaha. I am the sinister Videoar!! (A/N: Think of Game Machine Joe) In the name of the Negaverse I shall steal all your energy!!" Something yelled. It sounded to real to be a video game.

"Damn, and I just beat the 8th chapter." Susan cursed at the sudden appearance of the Negaverse. As the crowd dissolved in a panicky scream, she walked behind a row of pinball machines.

"Universe Power!" Universe strolled out from behind the machines. "Creature of the Negaverse I am here to… watch Galactic Knight steal my job." Galactic Knight smacked Videoar and punched it in the gut and Videoar reeled back.

"Come on, gimme your best shot!" Galactic taunted. Videoar swung its arm stretching out to slam into Galactic. He flew back and crashed on top of one of the pinball machines Universe was standing next to.

"Galactic!" Universe cries. "Oh god, this is why you leave this up to us. Are you ok? Galactic?!"

"Hey, you sound worried." Galactic stirred and told her. She smiled ripped a piece of skirt off and wrapped the purple fabric around the bleeding gash in his gloved hand.

"I'm not, just don't scare me like that again. Now don't move, or that glass will stick into you if you do." Universe turned away from the semi-injured boy. "Damn it, you Negaverse creeps never give up do you? Universe Star Bomb!" Universe threw the explosive at Videoar. With its long arm it smack it to the side and into a coin machine. Seconds later, quarters were everywhere. Then as the arm swung back it hit Universe, she flew into the air. Turning her body and landing on her feet upon her landing she saw Galactic beating up the monster, kicking and punching it with everything he had. With a well place kick Videoar was sent to the floor of the arcade.

"Universe! Now!" Galactic gasped and limped out of the way and Universe charged up her attack.

"UNIVERSE STAR BOMB!" She threw the star bomb and destroyed the monster and the arcade machine he was laying next to. "Yatta!"

"Good job." Galactic congratulated her then quickly leaned against the wall.

"Galactic!?" She ran over to him.

"Are you okay?!"

"Yeah, I'm okay, just give me a second. That thing hit me pretty good a couple times."

Universe sighed in relief. "How's your hand?"

"Good since you took care off it." The girl blushed. "So am I in?" He asked.

"Yeah you're in. Who are you anyway?" Galactic removed his mask and smiled.

"Leon!" Universe beamed and leaned down and kissed him. "Thank god it's you. I was worried if you had a girlfriend that she would be mad at you for me going to flirt with you."

"Susan?" She nodded and smiled, barley holding in her excitement.

"Now," She said taking off Leon's hat and putting it on her head, "We better go tell the others. Hey, do you wanna go to the movies by any chance?"
