Note: I apologize for the long wait for an update. I first had no confidence in this chapter and thought it wouldn't turn out so good. Then I thought, maybe I should let you guys give me feedback. I promise, next update won't take so long.

Valor: Penetration

Valor ran down the hallway, looking for any indication of the main computer room. For many long minutes of sprinting down corridors, he later came across a staircase. It went down to a very dark part of the base.

"Ah. . . must be the basement." he said walking off.

Then, two troops emerged from the darkness. Both were completely surprised to see Valor right in front of them. Quickly, Valor took out his V Sword and slashed at one troop's torso. He fell down, wailing in pain. Valor turned to the other troop. The SWAT soldier fired a barrage of bullets at the super. Valor jumped and flipped over the troop. He deflected the bullets with his blade. It ricocheted off of the sword and dispersed into various directions. After the troop ran out of ammunition, Valor knocked the SMG of the troop's hands. Valor swept him to the floor. The SWAT troop struggled to get up, but Valor held him down.

"Listen up buddy. Tell me where the main computer room is."

"Why should I? If I do, Senator Pine will kill me."

"And you think I won't?" Valor wondered, pointing his V Sword to the back of the troop's neck.

"Okay, okay, you win. It's down the stairs." he pointed to the stairway leading down into the darkness. "You'll see the computer room, don't worry. You can't miss it."

Valor got off of him. The troop made it to his feet. "Run along now, before I change my mind." The terrified troop started to turn and go. "And one more thing. Tell Pine this. If he and his army does try to stop us, we will be ready."

Both went their separate ways. Valor made his way down the stairway into the darkness below. It was pitch black. Valor couldn't even see his own hand in front of his face. Still, he went on.

"Dang, I need some light." Valor said.

His right hand transformed into a Light Sword. The blue light of the saber illuminated the darkness. Valor was relieved. He went on, citing any indication of the main computer room. Finally, he came across a dead end. Valor glanced at all the walls, but all he could see was a metal wall from corner to corner.

"That no good son of a. . . HOLY!" Valor turned and saw a skeleton plastered into the wall. He sighed with relief. "Whoa, I thought this thing was alive. . . wait a second." Valor notice something unusual about the plastered skeleton in the wall. "Why would it be pointing at this area? Unless he is. . . okay."

Valor reverted his hand then transformed it into his Metal Sword. He stuck it into the wall area the skeleton was pointing to. Suddenly, the wall started to part. Valor looked and saw a pathway in between the parted wall. Valor walked on the pathway. It was a long path, but Valor could see a glimmer of light at the end. The swordsman Super made his way toward the light. Once he did, he saw a huge room. It had a stairway leading to a balcony, many computer monitors. In addition, there was a gigantic computer monitor. It was the same size as the computer in Syndrome's lair.

"Well, this is it."

Suddenly, "HEY!"

Valor saw 10 troops waiting for him. They all jumped off of the balcony and charged at Valor, armed with knives. The super took out his V Sword and rushed to the advancing soldiers. Valor slashed at two troop's body. They fell to the ground in pain. Valor spun his swords and sliced up a troop's throat. He later thrust his sword into two troops' torso. While they hollered in pain, another troop came charging in an attempt to stab Valor. Fortunately, the swordsman Super caught his arm and twisted it, causing the armed troop to lose his grip on the knife. Valor saw another troop charging with his knife. The Super countered by using the oblivious troop as a shield. As a result, the charging troop ended up stabbing his own comrade. Valor viciously threw the stabbed troop on a group of troops. He later turned to the SWAT soldiers who had a sword plunged into their own torso. He pulled both out and slashed up at the downed troops. Now, after that, there was only one troop left. Valor spun his sword around and around. The remaining troop got so intimidated, he ran off. Valor sheathed his sword and went over to the big computer monitor.

"Great, now I just need to wait for Violet."

Suddenly, Valor head the sound footsteps. He turned his head but saw nobody. He shrugged and once again focused his attention on to the computer. Seconds later, he heard it again. This time, it was from the balcony. Valor took out his V Sword.

"Who's there?"

No answer. Valor turned once again with his sword in his hand. It wasn't long before Valor heard footsteps again. This time, it came from the entrance of the main computer room. The Super spun his sword around his hand, then threw it toward the noise. Just as it came inches of the victim, a large purple barrier ricocheted the blade back toward the swordsman Super. Valor caught it then sheathed his sword. And low and behold! Invisigirl and Tony stood there, panting heavily, glaring at Valor.

"Violet? Tony?"

"You. . . almost. . . killed. . . us. . . you. . . insensitive. . . jerk!" panted his sister.

"Seriously dude," Tony added, a little more serenely, "you gave us a scare back there."

"Me? You were. . . never mind. Hey, where's Connor?" Everyone shrugged. "Forget it. Come on."

Invisigirl and Tony went over to Valor. After gazing at the big screen, Invisigirl gave her brother the disk.

"Great, now one problem. How do you do this techno stuff?" wondered Valor.

"It's easy." replied Invisigirl. She inserted the disk into the slot, typed in some things, and finally got the codes uploaded to the computer. "Great, all done. Now all you have to do is press this big red button, and the entire system goes down."

"Vi, you are a genius!"

"Gee, thanks."

"You know Vi, that's why I like you. Not only are you pretty, cute, beautiful, and strong willed, but you are also a smart, intelligent girl."

"Aw Tony." Invisigirl was starting to turn red and fast. She had to take off her pink headband and let her dark, black hair cover her face to shroud the blushing. After a while, she placed it back on her head."Okay guys. Here we go."

Invisigirl moved her finger slowly toward the red button. Suddenly, "Not so fast you Super heroic brats."

The three teens turned around and saw Senator Pine pointing two hand guns at the forehead of Valor and Invisigirl. Beside him, was another troop pointing a heavy but powerful plasma gun at Tony.

"You press that button and it will be the worse decision you'll ever make in your life. NOW, BACK OFF FROM THAT BUTTON RIGHT NOW!"

Valor and Tony looked at Invisigirl. Her eyes were filled with tears. She is under a lot of pressure now. Either save thousands of Supers, or enjoy the last five minutes of life. She didn't move and kept her finger on the button.

Invisigirl looked at Senator Pine and gave him a glare, telling him, "I'm not a weak person. Whatever you do to me, nothing will ever effect the bond I have with my family and friends."

"Very well then. You have sealed your fate."

Valor, Invisigirl and Tony shut their eyes tightly. Then, all of the sudden, "BAM!"
