Back to the Mainland
It was about 5:00 in the morning when Vigor woke up. He quickly got up and went to find Valor and Invisigirl. He didn't get really far. He saw both Valor and Invisigirl sleeping right by each other.
"Hey, hey wake up." He said, nudging at Invisigirl.
"Huh, what?" she awoke. "Oh, hi Connor."
Vigor pointed his plasma gun at Valor, who was sound asleep. He sprayed a powerful jet stream of water to him. Valor awoke all soaked, cold and wet.
"M. . .m. . .must . . . y. . . . you . . . k. . . . k. . . . k. . . . keep . . . p. . . . doing . . . th. . . . that" he said, shivering.
Vigor said nothing. He simply smiled. "Well, now that you're awake, let's get outta here."
"Uh, how are we supposed to when we don't have a plane?" inquired Invisigirl.
"Simple, I flew over here. And correction, we do have a plane. Come on, I'll show you."
Valor and Invisigirl followed Vigor into the jungle. They walked til they found a plane. It was a biplane, but it only had room for two people.
"Great, one problem though, there is three of us . . . and only two seats." stated Invisigirl.
"Don't worry Vi. I found the solution to our problem" said Valor, who just turned toward to Vigor. "Well Connor, thank you so much, but we have to go." Both Vigor and Invisigirl glared at Valor. "WHAT!"
"Nice try Michael, but like it or not, he's coming with us."
"Yeah, besides, it's my plane and I am the only one out of the three of us that can actually fly it. So, I make the decisions around here. And speaking of decisions, I get to decide who gets to actually ride in the plane."
"Well, since Connor is the pilot, he has to ride. And since I'm a girl, it's only common courtesy that I ride as well."
"SAY WHAT!" questioned Valor.
"You heard her Michael. I guess we will have to leave you here." ridiculed Vigor.
"Not so fast." interrupted Invisigirl. "I don't know about any of you guys, but no one is going to be left behind."
"You are asking for the impossible Violet." said Vigor. "We all know you can't leave me here because I'm the only one that can aviate this airplane."
"Yeah, but you can't leave me behind because you know what mom and dad will do to you if they found out that you left your brother behind."
"Wait, wait, you mean tell me that . . . Michael . . . is your . . . brother?" wondered Vigor. "Wow, didn't see that one coming. And . . . wait, I didn't know you had parents Michael. Tell me, is your new mom and dad kind, sweet, and just like Violet, or are they just like you. Now be honest. I don't like lies."
Invisigirl laughed hysterically. Valor was about to draw his sword, but later decided that it wasn't worth it.
"Alright, very funny. But tell me how are we supposed to get all three of us off of Nomanisan when we only have two seats."
"Michael, you can just use your Wind Swords." insinuated Invisigirl.
"Are you crazy? You're talking about flying almost half of the Pacific Ocean. I will be very exhausted afterwards."
"Just use it." said Vigor, boarding the plane. Invisigirl followed after him.
"Idiot." scowled Valor, transforming both hands to his Wind Swords.
The three Supers flew out of Nomanisan. It was a very long flight over there, but Vigor found interest in mocking and imitating his lifelong rival. As he continued to ridicule him, joke by joke, Invisigirl couldn't help but laugh hysterically the entire trip. Valor, unfortunately, had other problems. Besides doing his best ignoring all the taunting and criticisms, he had an even harder time catching up with Vigor's plane. He struggled to keep up with the plane; but since the plane isn't human, and Valor . . . is, Valor started to tire after about twenty minutes.
"HEY CONNOR, EVER CONSIDERED SLOWING DOWN?" he shouted.
"WHAT?" Vigor shouted back.
"I SAID, EVER CONSIDERED SLOWING DOWN!"
"WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU! YOU'RE TOO FAR AWAY. WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?"
"SLOW DOWN!"
"WHAT?" yelled Vigor.
"SLOW DOWN!"
"WHAT? GO NOW? OKAY!"
Vigor took off at full speed with the plane, leaving Valor all alone. As he continued to scowl, Invisigirl turned toward Vigor.
"Connor, he asked you to slow down. Please don't leave him behind."
"Fine, he is your brother anyways."
Vigor gradually decelerated his plane. He does this til Valor was able to catch up. Suddenly, when he was in reach, Vigor sped up again, making it hard for Valor to catch up.
"Connor!" giggled Invisigirl.
"Sorry, but do we have too?" Vigor complained, slowing down again.
All of the sudden, Valor grabbed onto the tail of the plane. He was exhausted. For many minutes, he panted and coughed.
"Gee Michael, for someone with such high dexterity, you are quite slow." jested Vigor.
"I am going to kill you one day." Valor panted heavily.
"Just ignore him Connor." said Invisigirl. "That is his way of saying sorry."
"Really, to me, it sounded like "I am going to kill you." Both Vigor and Invisigirl laughed as Metroville drew closer and closer. Valor, frustrated by all the laughing, mocking, and taunting, unsheathed his V Sword. He raised it high above his head.
"Michael, what are you doing? Put that sword away now!" commanded Invisigirl.
"Violet, I'm sorry. Connor, DIE!"
With all his rage, he sliced off the tail of the plane. It was sent hurling down to the ground. Valor, with his Star Sword, held onto the edge of Invisigirl's seat for dear life.
"MICHAEL, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?" hollered his sister.
"Hang on, we're gonna crash!" said Vigor.
The plane was hurling closer and closer to the ocean below. Before the plane made impact with the water, Valor, Invisigirl, and Vigor jumped out. Quickly, Valor sheathed his sword, and with his Wind Swords, flew to a nearby harbor. Invisigirl formed a force field around herself and floated to where Valor landed. Vigor, however, fired a parachute from his plasma gun and floated to safety. Once he landed, he glared at Valor. Valor glared right back as he took out his V Sword once again.
"You have no idea how long I waited for this." said Valor.
"Bring it on you." Vigor replied, cracking his knuckles.
"Freak."
"Loser."
"Waste of life."
At that moment Valor and Vigor finally began the battle they have so longingly waited for.
