CHAPTER 3... Boy Scout vs. Dragon Spooker and Scarlet Speedster vs. Dragon
kid!
(A/N: I don't own any shows!!! Stop staring at me!!)
Down in a Mc. Donald's bathroom in Metropolis, Lina changed out of the
matrix outfit because people started staring at her weird. She opened the
backpack of stuff and pulled out a pair of jeans and a red shirt that said
dragon girl. She also pulled out a Yankees baseball cap, which she put on
backwards. She had already eaten a lot from the 'eat and run' scam, and the
feast Uzuri gave them. So she waited at one of the tables, while Gourry
changed into his outfit. He came out with a pullover hooded jacket, baggy
jeans, and Nikes on. His hair was pony-tailed Kenshin style. He sat down
next Lina, "So we going to order something, or what?" he asked.
"NO WE'RE NOT!" She screeched.
Everyone in the McDonalds was looking at her. Then one of the cashiers came
over and told her to get out because she was disturbing the peace.
They left and walked around town to try and find a good place to go "SMASHY-
SMASHY!!!" in Metropolis.
Then Lina saw the perfect place. "Ya know something, Gourry?"
"What?" he asked.
"I've always hated the media..." she said as she pointed towards the Daily
Planet. She had that evil look on her face.
"Uh, ohhh..." Gourry said meekly.
Lina and Gourry sped towards the Lex corp. building; one of the highest
buildings in the city. They went in and ran past the receptionist.
"Hey! You can't come in here without an appointment...*sigh*what's the use?
Stupid punks..." she said sighingly.
Lina found the stairs easily (dragging Gourry behind her!) and stopped
suddenly when she saw how many flights of stairs she had in front her (LIKE
1,047!).
"SCREW THAT!!" she cussed, "I'M EVER SO PISSED! LEVITATION!!"
She dug her claw-like nails in to Gourry's arm, and blasted up the center
of the stairs. They smashed through the door to the roof and landed
swiftly. They threw off the outfits they were wearing and they both were
back in the matrix costumes.
She took aim and asked: "hey, Gourry. Think I should Dragon Slave the whole
thing or just fireball the idiotic planet thingy?"
"PLANET THINGY! PLANET THINGY!" He shouted, while jumping up and down.
"Alright. Let's GO!!!FIREBALL!!!!!!" she screeched and let out a giant
fireball that zoomed straight towards the rotating planet.
But a form of man interrupted it; who blasted away the fire into embers
that puffed out quickly. It was superman; in all his narcissistic glory.
He zoomed over towards the Lex Corp. building, looking for the perpetrator.
He saw Lina, looking up at him with her trademark evil smirk on her face;
and Gourry, still trying to get his cape-jacket thingy on.
"What do you want in my city?" he shouted to them.
"Levitation." she said and floated up to him. "Isn't it obvious? You." She
smirked. Fireballs formed in both of her hands, she threw them at him.
He dodged, just in time. "Why do you want me? And who the heck are you,
anyway?" he shouted.
"Because I'm getting PAID! DUH!!!" she yelled back and floated up, "the
name's Inverse! Lina Inverse! Sister to Luna Inverse, the Knight of
Cepheid."
"I've never heard of you or your sister. And I'm not about to fight a
little girl. Who's the idiot down there?"
Gourry was looking through his backpack for a comm. link. He found one and
put it in his ear. "Yo, Lina! I finally found my comm. link!" he buzzed
sing-songedly into her ear. Superman started snicker and Lina turned around
and looked at her evilest.
"WHAT...ARE...YOU...DOING?!!!" She huffed and puffed. She was getting ready to do
a trademark attack: a Dragon Slave.
She chanted the spell under her breath (I don't remember how it goes...stupid
bad memory...).
Her eyes grew red and fiery and the D.S. grew larger and larger.
"YOU INSENSITIVE CREEP!!" she screamed at him. She let it fly; it screamed
towards him.
It was the biggest blast he'd ever seen. It blew him towards and threw him
(face first!) into the daily planet orb. It looked like a flaming, broken
whiffle ball.
(Inside the orb!) Lina flew over to Superman and smirked at him. "Serves ya right, ya creep! Hmm. That's a cute cape. But I'm sure it'll look better on a winner, than a loser!" she scoffed. Lina bent down and snatched the cape off his back; the tied it on her own shoulders. She imitated Nahga's freaky, annoying laugh and then took off. Supes put his hand to his comm link and communicated the watchtower. "Ugh. This is Superman requesting assistance. I might need Green Lantern's help with this one. There's a redheaded little angry girl who can fly and shoot off fireballs the size of a house. But it looks like she's got an idiot sidekick; a blond guy who's a bit of a dunce. They're both dressed in black." He explained. "Okay..." Said J'onn (he practically LIVES in the watchtower) "I'll send him down..." J'onn always had a smooth, silky, accented, deep voice. It calmed anyone who listened to it, rendering them dizzy and defenseless. It was an overpowering technique, but he only used it when necessary. J'onn went to the kitchen (after sending a message to GL) to get one of his favorite earth snacks: a pint of mint chocolate ice cream (with smashed Oreos sprinkled on top!). He only ate this when he felt depressed or he thought he forgot something; something important. Today, it was forgetfulness. The, what the Flash called it; 'brain freeze' helped him sort his thoughts. "Uh, ohhh...Chocolate-mint ice cream, bad sign..." said a tough, but sweet voice. It was Hawkgirl, the mace-wielding warrior from Thanagar. She walked over to him and stared straight into his eyes. "Has anyone ever told you that you have the deepest eyes anyone has ever seen?" she asked. "Um... no not really-" he said, interrupted by something he'd never gotten from a fellow leaguer. She gave him a kiss, straight on the lips. He was surprised at first; but then he accepted it and kissed her back. He pulled away and practically gasped for air. "Whoa... it's been a while since I had one of those... 500 years to be exact...but it's not right; G.L. loves you. I can't let you kiss me..." he explained and looked closer towards her eyes "wait a minute...what's wrong with your eyes?" They were red with black around them; like his own! "WAH!! GET 'ER OFF ME!!!!" he heard Flash scream and dash in to the kitchen. "Ya gotta get her of me!" he grabbed J'onn by the gold buttons on his cape, "Wonder Woman won't stop flirting with me! I can't believe I just said that!" he was totally freaked out. "Shayera has been acting strangely too...she kissed me!" he told him. Flash put him in a headlock and gave him a noogie. "AW, you lucky dog, you! ...Then both the girls are wigging out, better warn the other guys." He was about to flip the comm link on when Wondy and Shayera grabbed his hands. "April fool's!!" they shouted into his ears. "What?" J'onn asked, "What's April fool's?" "We researched some of earth's coming up holidays and this was the 1st one listed. It's a holiday where you play tricks on people. We've been planning this for weeks." Shayera said giggling under almost every word." Flash's jaw dropped; "AHW! (Screams like Kelso from That 70's show) I can't believe I forgot my favorite holiday of the year! But DANG! Great prank guys! Total burn! How'd you do the eyes?" "Red and black contacts." Diana explained as she and H.G. took off the glass contacts. J'onn looked confused. "Why would you want to trick someone? That's kinda mean and rude to their intelligence, isn't it?" "Nope. We do it because it's funny (says it like Hyde from that 70's show)." Said Flash. "The kiss wasn't funny. G.L. likes you; I can't, or rather wouldn't want to make him angry at me." J'onn said coldly; he took his pint of ice cream and Oreos; and left the room. "Ouch...you shouldn't have gotten that close, Hawks..." Flash said, "You should say you're sorry, man. His feelings bruise easily, ya know..." Hawkgirl flew out the door and went J'onn's quarters. She had never been in them before, so she was excited to see what they looked like. Shayera stopped outside the door that said "J'onn" and had a little wheel under it; his symbol... She knocked on the door and his voice answered a "you may come in, Shayera..." She opened the door and saw a, what seemed to be, a forest with tropical plants in the ground. She was sure she heard twittering from in there somewhere. There was a large field in the middle of the forest; where she saw J'onn, floating in a meditative position. She flew over to him and put her hand on her elbow (the famous embarrassed position...) "Um...I'm sorry I kissed you and brought this concept to the Watchtower...I'm REALLY sorry about the kissing..." "It's alright; thanks to you I now know a little more about earth's culture...if fact I kinda liked it..." the Manhunter said with a smile. Hawkgirl guilty frown turned upside down. "Thanks! I noticed were out of Oreos again! Tell ya what...I'll take you down to earth and buy 7 packages; on me!" Hawkgirl said while pulling him out the door "Then I'm gonna take you to a movie and then I'm gonna take you out for coffee..." she trailed off "Yes, let's..." They flew out the door and down to the 'Javelin 7'; and dove down to earth (Denver to be exact...). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- "What do you mean by giving me a ticket?!" Fillia screeched, "disturbing the peace, my ass!" ----What had happened...---- Fillia was in the street in Denver, when this creepy guy started to hit on her. You can guess what happened next. She preformed a rerun of W.W.F. right there in the street. "I'm sorry, miss; but if you keep up this violent behavior, I'm going to have to take you to the station and you'll get more than a ticket." The police officer said. Fillia was wearing a knee-long dress, with a long dark pink coat to cover her tail. "Fine. Then just give me the ticket." She said. "Good girl. What's your name and age?" "Fillia Ul Copt and-" she stopped short. "I can't tell him my real age! I'll get in even more trouble! Make up something believable; dragon-girl!" She thought to herself. "Um...37..." she said. "Okay; you look pretty good for 37. Heh-heh!" Fillia started to twitch. She was saying swear words in her mind; trying to calm herself down. He ripped the ticket off the pad and gave it to her (I know there's more to a ticket but...whatever...). She remembered something suddenly. Where was kid Val? She turned around and searched for him. "VALLL!!!! WHERE DID YOU GO, VAL??!!" she screamed. "Is something wrong, Ms. Copt?" the officer asked. "MY BABY VAL!!! HE'S GONE!!" she screeched. "HEEEYYY, MOMMMYY!!!" said Val. "VAL! WHERE ARE YOU?" "Look up!" He was on a flagpole (like 30 floors up!!); sitting carefree on it, waving to her. "Get Down Here, NOW!!" Said Fillia. A red blur whizzed by her and up the building. It was the Flash; target #7, Val's leaguer. "You shouldn't be up here, kiddo. It's not safe." He said with his million- dollar smile. He tried to reach towards him; but Val pulled away. His eyes glowed red. "Yo, mom! Found my target!" he yelled. Fillia looked up and smirked. "I'm giving you permission to release your older self; but just this once!!" He nodded and his black wings stretched out and covered himself the reopened them and he was a preteen, about 12 years old instead of 6. "Uh, oh." Said Flash. Hawkgirl and J'onn were in their regular disguises; John Jones and Cynthia Hall. Shayera was in a green long-sleeve turtleneck and jeans (with her hair in a ponytail and a backpack to conceal her wings); while J'onn was in a Kaiba-style jacket and jeans; with sunglasses with blue lenses. Shay was hugging his arm and making J'onn uncomfortable at the same time. He was blushing terribly; but Shay didn't notice; either that or didn't care. They hadn't done anything yet because they just landed the Javelin7. This was her way of making it up to him; by giving him something he loves, Oreos! Ever since Christmas, he had developed a taste for them. She didn't know why, or how; but he still loved them. He could even tell the difference between a real one and a knockoff. They were in the Denver city park going to a supermarket, when Shayera asked J'onn: "Why do you love Oreos so much? I'm just wondering..." J'onn answered: "Well, last Christmas, Superman took me to Smallville. I needed some time to think, so I walked down the street, seeing everyone happy; when I hear a girl's voice in my head. Her voice said she wanted to prove her brother wrong, saying that this "Santa" guy existed and would eat the cookies she set out. Well, I knew he wasn't coming; so I stretched my hand down the chimney and took a couple cookies. And I ended up really liking them. What'd you do for Christmas?" he explained. "I had a "powers allowed" snowball fight with GL and went to my favorite bar in this quadrant. Phaz's place, he's an old friend. " She said. They heard a crash and an explosion. They turned around and saw smoke coming from the west side of town. They ran towards it and jumped into an alley to change into their costumes. J'onn changed into a dome so no one would see Shay changing. They rushed off to the smoky cloud streaming from the city. Flash was having problems with Val. He kept bashing him around with purple energy spheres. Val was fast, as fast as the Flash himself. "MAN, YOU'RE SLOW!! Honestly, my uncle Xelloss would be more of a challenge than you! Oh, no wait...he really would be. DOY!!" he scoffed to himself. "Dude, kid; what's your deal? Why'd you call me a "target"? Unless... you're going to assassinate the league!" "Heeeyy!! You catch on quick, weak dude!" Val yelled to his face. "You're calling me weak?" yelled an enraged Flash "I don't care if you're a kid or not, that one's not passin'!!!!!" he charged straight at Val-chan, with all his anger channeled in to his fist. The landed square on his chin; knocking him into a lamppost. Val got up and turned around, his head bowed. He lifted his head and Flash saw his eyes were burning gold with cracks around the edges of the eyelids. He charged at Flash, but didn't make it to him. A pair of green hands had caught him. "That's really not a smart thing to do, Valgaav..." a deep voice said. It was slow and deep; it made him sleepy and dizzy. He was soon snoozing in J'onn's arms. Shay and him floated down to where Flash was burning off anger. "DANG! HOW THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT??" "Shut up, Flash; you'll wake the stupid kid up!" Shay whispered. "It's just one of my natural powers, I don't use very often. It puts people to sleep. It's relatively easy to use." He explained "Why do you get all the super-cool powers? I mean Supes is cool, but he doesn't got nothing on you!" "He's right, ya know-AHHHHGGGHH!!!" Shay screamed and fell to the ground. They swirled around and saw Fillia, with an evil look on her face (an evil- ANGRY look! shudder!) pointing her mace at where Hawkgirl had been standing. "UNHAND... MY... BABY... BOY!!"
