Chap. 14
West
"See anything yet?" asked Heatstrike, as he flew ahead, propelled by his rocket boots. "For the least time, NO! And if you ask one more time I'm gonna... I don't know, but it'll hurt!" snapped Cyborg, as he leapt from building to building. "Oh lighten up dude." said Polar, as he slid along his ice slide. "Lighten up?!" said Cy in disbelief. Unfortunately, he was so surprised, he forgot what he was doing, and slammed into the next building over. Slowly, his body peeled off, to be caught by Polar's slide. "You know, maybe you should try to clam down." The young hero said, Cy pulled himself together. "C'mon man, a lunatic got a master weapon, and you wanna calm down?" "Well, losing your cool never helped anybody." replied Heatstrike, as he flew near the slide. "Well, sorry, but we've been doing this for hours, we haven't seen a damn thing." Replied Cy. "Hey man, no one gets to level 10 on the first try, but they do get there." Replied Heatstrike
Suddenly, there was a shrill beeping. The three heroes looked around for its source, and then Cyborg went, "Oh it's my arm." Turning its communication screen to his face, he said, "Cy here." "We found him." said Raven, matter-of-factly. "What? Where is he?" asked Polar, crowding in for a better view. "He's in some sort of underground cavern by the docks. It's under Pierhouse 45. You'd better hurry, it looks like he's almost ready." "We'll be there as soon as we can." said Cyborg, who promptly shut off his communicator. "All right guys, think you can get us there fast enough?" The two kids smiled. "Don't worry." Said Polar, as he created an ice slide under Cy and himself and began to shoot for the docks. Heatstrike stood a moment, then lit his boots and flew after them.
"Still gullible." said Slade as he snapped the communicator shut. With a push of a button, he erased the Raven hologram, as the genuine article stood chained to the wall. "They'll stop you." she said, her eyes glaring at Slade. The masked villain walked up to her and replied, "Really my dear? I happen to think they'll end up like you, powerless and chained to a wall." "I happen to agree with her." snapped Nighstalker, de-armored and also chained. "Perhaps you don't realize, but I am about to become a god." Replied Slade. "What you think has no meaning for me." "Jeez, where did you get your dialogue?" muttered Raven, as she struggled against her chains. "Resist all you like." said Slade, as he ran his fingers over the Gem, placed on a table next to him. "But in the end, you will fall. And the city, the world, will belong to me."
Sorry it is so short, but I just couldn't think of anything better. Next chap will be much improved.
