Secrets Revealed
As the laser drew closer, Violet thought pondered on her dilemma. She could take the risk of her identity at the cost of her life, or she can use a simple force field to block the laser but then her identity will be revealed.
"Only one choice." Violet thought. "Tony can't be with me anymore anyways if I'm dead."
At the very last moment, Violet puts up a force field to shield herself from the laser. It reflected off her force field and hit a car nearby. It erupted into flames and smoke. Afterwards, Violet turned to Tony. He stared in awe. She stared right back. For them, it felt like time froze. Violet could not believe what she just did. Tony couldn't believe what he saw. Suddenly the robot shot another laser from his eyes. Violet jumped out of the way. She ran behind a tree nearby. Violet just remember one small item.
"Oh shoot! I forgot my Super Suit. My invisibility is completely useless now."
Without warning, the robot knocked down the tree Violet was hiding behind. She screamed and ran away. She stopped in her tracks.
"Enough, I am not going to run away anymore. For once, I am going to fight instead of hide. For once, I will go on the offense instead of the defense." Violet said to herself. Violet turned and ran towards the robot. It continued to blast lasers at the charging Violet. "Okay," she though as she continued to rush to the robot. "I need to think of a strategy."
"I don't think so." said Nightmare, taking careful aim at a certain area. By the time Violet reached that area, Nightmare fired. The laser hit the ground, just inches in front of Violet. The explosion blasted Violet to her back. She got up and saw the robot directly above her.
"VIOLET!" Tony screamed.
The robot blasted a laser toward the young Parr. She put up a force field just in time.
"Try stopping this." said Nightmare now firing a barrage of lasers at the girl. Violet continued to shield herself with her force field. For some time, Nightmare continued to pound Violet's force field with lasers. He knows that Violet will eventually tire out and will eventually run out of energy for a force field.
"Shoot, I am getting fatigued by all the onslaught of lasers. I not sure I can withstand this pounding." Violet thought. She kept her force field up but she was brought to knees. Violet, all tired, looked up at Tony. "No matter what happens," she thought "I will not give up. I will live though this, and I will not be beaten by some freak in black tights." Violet got on her feet. She continued to hold her force field. Unfortunately, she lost all of her concentration and her energy. Her force field vanished, and a laser beam nailed her in the stomach.
Tony watched as Violet tried staying alive. He began to break out in to tears. "Please stop. Don't hurt her. I'll do anything. Please."
Nightmare ignored his pleas. Instead he just kept on firing. Violet, who is now brought to her knees once again, started to whimper. The more Nightmare's lasers hit her force field, the more fatigued she would become. Finally, Nightmare stopped firing. He gazed down at Violet, who was lying on her back, panting excessively.
"What's wrong little girl? Did I hurt you? Or, are you just upset that your family isn't here to save your life?" laughed Nightmare.
"Shut up!" Violet thought. She struggled to stand up.
The robot backed up. And Nightmare hopped out of it. She walked over to Violet and picked her up by the hair.
"Listen Miss. Invisigirl. You got two choices, you can stop me or you can save dozens of lives." At that very moment, Nightmare jumped back into the robot and fired a dark missile up into the air. "This missile, when it comes crashing down, well. . . just use your imagination." he laughed, "Don't worry about your boyfriend, he will still be alive. I'll just wait until you come to his rescue." Nightmare blasted off out of sight."
"TONY!" Violet cried. Suddenly, she looked up. She saw the missile coming down. "I'm lucky. I'm the only one in this park. But if I just put up a force field to shield myself, I won't be able to hang out with Tony in our favorite spot anymore. She stood up and raised her arms. Suddenly, she thought about her force field. The biggest she has ever done was one to shield an entire school bus. She has to shield something that was about the size of a football field. "I am not sure my powers haven't developed yet" Violet thought. "I have a choice between total destruction or the unknown. Well, I don't have a choice." Violet looked at the descending missile. She used all her power to put up one big force field.
The missile exploded on contact. Violet held it up with all her might. Her weariness returned. This time, since it was a big force field to hold up and a big missile to stop, it was worse. She continued to sustain the force field, even though the pain was excessive. Finally, the danger ceased. The park was now safe. Violet has protected the park.
"Yes, I did it." Violet said. She fainted right on the spot. She did not wake until a hour later.
"Tony!" she gasped as soon as she got up. She just remembered that Tony was taken by Nightmare. "I will find you Tony, if it's the last thing I do. We will be together again. Nothing will stop me. I will get you back. I promise."
