True Affections
Valor was the first to wake from his nap. He looked around and woke up Tony and Invisigirl. They got up.
"Had a nice rest?" asked Valor.
"Yes, thank you." answered Invisigirl.
"Great." said Tony. "Now, uh, what do we do now."
"We better get going." said Valor.
The three teens went downtown. When they got there, they were shocked of the sight. Buildings were damaged, and cars were overturned. Metroville looked like it was in ruins.
"Whoa. My dad really made a mess of this."
"Yeah, OW!" cried Invisigirl.
"Ya okay" worried Tony.
"Yeah, I just stepped on a rock with my foot."
"You'll live." said Valor. "Hey guys," he pointed to a figure destroying some more buildings and wrecking havoc.
"Oh my, it's Nightmare." said Invisigirl.
Valor took out his Star Sword. Invisigirl gets into a fighting stance. She turns to Tony.
"Tony, find a safe place to hide. Valor and I are going in."
"No Violet." He responded. Invisigirl turned.
"What?" she inquired.
"I said no. I'm not going to just run and hide, thinking my girl is getting hurt by some crazed maniac."
"Tony, you have no powers and Nightmare is a dangerous person. Sorry, but you can't help me fight."
"Vi, I told you. I won't allow him to hurt you. Like it or not, I am going with you."
"No, you are not."
"Yes I am."
"Tony, listen to me. You might be my boyfriend, but . . . "
"But what?" he interrupted.
"But you aren't coming." Inivisigirl looked at her feet, trying to ignore all of Tony's oncoming questions. Tony, however, kept on interrogating.
"Why not? Tell me why you won't you let me fight with you."
"Because . . . because . . . I . . . " she shuddered.
"Because what? Huh?"
"LOOK TONY! I LOVE YOU OKAY!"she screamed. Everything was silent. Invisigirl and Tony stared at each other. She spoke very quietly to him. "Sorry Tony, but I can't. If anything happened to you, I . . . I . . . " she began to cry.
"You really do care about me." said Tony. He wiped a tear off of Invisigirl's face. He later planted a long, loving kiss onto her lips. "It's okay. I love you too. Don't worry." Tony touches her heart. "As long as you keep me in there, everything will be alright."
Invisigirl was about to kiss him one more time until a red laser whirled passed the couple. Another laser came right at the teens. Valor jumped out of the way and Invisigirl formed a force field around herself and Tony. The laser hit the force field but the impact made the pain in her body surge and increased her weariness. She was sent to her hands and knees. Another laser came and, with enough energy, she was able to put another force field around her self. The laser that was fired was more powerful and Invisigirl whimpered on the ground in pain.
"Tony, (cough) run. Get out of here."
Tony turned and moved out of the way. He saw Nightmare firing another laser at the injured Invisigirl.
"VIOLET, NOOOOOO!" Tony cried.
Just as the laser came in on the downed heroine, Tony jumped in front of her and took the laser at full blast. Invisigirl looked up and saw her boyfriend taking the attack. Tony collapsed right next to her.
"No, Tony."
Another laser came to the two. This time, Valor jumped in front and blocked it with his sword. He blocked every single laser his father shot.
"Invisigirl, take Tony to a safe place. I'll deal with Nightmare."
Invisigirl formed a force field around Tony and herself. She managed to levitate herself and Tony to an area, a couple blocks away.
Valor blocked laser after laser. Suddenly, the firing stopped. Nightmare charged at his son. Valor charged at him. The Father/Son battle had just begun.
Back with Invisigirl;
"Don't worry Tony. We're safe now."
H didn't hear a single word. He was knocked out by that laser that hit him. That didn't bother Invisigirl though. She wiped her tears away and smiled at Tony. She now knows that he really cares for her. He even admitted to loving her. Suddenly, a man appeared in front of Invisigirl. He was taller than she and was wearing a uniform but, judging by his outfit, he was a higher rank than any soldier.
"Hello there, Invisigirl. I have been sent to find you."
"Uh, hi. Who are you? "Why did you come here? And who sent you?"
"I can answer your questions my dear. My name is Vanquish. I have been sent by Nightmare to find and kill you and your boyfriend." He laughed.
Invisigirl got up and glared at him. "You will never lay a finger on him."
"Don't worry, little girl. First you, then him." He said, running toward Invisigirl.
"As long as you are in my heart Tony, I will win." She thought as she prepared for the fight and beating of her life.
