True Strength
"So this is death?" wondered Invisigirl, still having her eyes shut. "It doesn't feel any different than life."
The three teens slowly opened their eyes. To their surprise, they were still alive. Invisigirl slowly turned her head toward Tony, while he tardily turned his head over to her. After seeing each other alive, both locked each other in an embrace. Both teens' eyes were filled with tears. Valor, on the other hand, looked at the troop that was armed with the big plasma gun. Unfortunately for him, he was lying on the floor dead. Valor later turned his attention to Senator Pine. He was looking up at the balcony, aiming his hand guns at a shadow in the darkness.
"Who are you? SHOW YOURSELF!" he demanded.
The shadow leapt out and landed right beside Valor. The swordsman Super was shocked to see who it was.
"Connor?" he called his name. He smiled, then looked Invisigirl and Tony.
"Uh, guys, it's been two minutes already."Both separated and gave Vigor a weird look. A look between a 'Thank God Vigor you're here' and 'Where were you?' "I knew this sniper rifle would come in handy." he said, throwing the sniper rifle away.
Soon after, Senator Pine let out a huge growl of anger. He started to rapidly fire his hand guns at the teens. Valor stepped up and deflected all the discharged bullets with his V Sword. He did that for about a minute. Later, Pine tried to reload as fast as he could, but a kick from Vigor send the guns flying out of his hands.
"VI, PRESS THE BUTTON, NOW!" commanded Valor.
That's what she did. As soon as she pressed the red button, the entire system went down. After that, the four teens gave a sigh of relief.
"We did it guys." smiled Valor.
Then, Senator Pine let out a huge growl of anger and frustration. "GET THEM NOW!" he commanded.
At that moment an armada of army SWAT soldiers came rushing in. Vigor took out both plasma guns and fired two very large rockets. Both projectiles, combined, both made one very colossal explosion, killing a large number of troops. Still, even after the deadly, deafening explosion, more SWAT soldiers stormed in.
"Okay guys. We might've stopped the tsunami, but we're still in the middle of the ocean. Ready?" asked Valor. Everyone gave him a puzzling look. "Okay, what I mean is, we might have stopped the missiles from launching, but we still have an army to defeat."
"OOOOOHHHHH!" the other teens replied.
The troops fired a storm of bullets. Invisigirl projected a gigantic force field to block the barrage of bullets. After that, she created a two holes in her force field. Vigor aimed his plasma gun out through the hole and began firing. He discharged many colorful projectiles at the troops.
"Ready guys?" asked Valor. Everyone nodded. "One. . . two. . . THREE!"
At that moment, Invisigirl dropped her force field and she, Valor, Tony and Vigor ran in different areas. Valor swiped his sword and a couple troops' torso. He later slashed at a troop then kicked him in his chest, sending him crashing on his own comrades. Valor slashed his swords at more troops, causing them to fall on the floor in pain. Some fired their SMGs at him. Valor blocked the bullets with the blade of his sword. After the rapid fire suddenly started to cease. While the troops took the time to reload, Valor rushed to them, slashing his V Sword at every soldier he saw. Everyone slowly backed away from the dangerous swordsman.
"What? You guy's scared or something? Come on, I'm just a teen. What am I compared to all of you losers. Come and get me."
Angered by this, they all came rushing in. Valor smiled, then spun around like a fast whirling tornado. Unfortunately for the soldiers nearby, they got their body sliced up by a whirling red and blue spinning, slashing cyclone. This made everyone else retreat. Valor slowed down the came to a halt. He grinned, sheathed his V Sword before attacking his next victim.
Meanwhile, Vigor rushed up the stairs to the balcony. He was followed by a large number of troops. When he got to the top, he turned around, only to see troops rushing up to him. He fired a very heavy anvil from his plasma gun. The result was simply troops tumbling down the stairway.
"Oh sorry. Did I hurt you? Don't worry, I'll make it all better".
Vigor fired a barrage of colorful projectiles at the downed troops. The SWAT soldiers were bombarded. As more troops came over, to their comrades' aid, Vigor would fire more series of projectiles. Overwhelmed, the SWAT troops aimed and fired their machine guns at Vigor. Fortunately, the Super was able to project a red, laser-like, force field shield to protect himself. The bullets bounced off the shield and scattered in various directions. Vigor aimed his other gun at the ceiling. He fired a frag grenade and into the crowd of troops. After a few seconds, the grenade exploded, killing off a large number of troops.
At the same time, Invisigirl was fighting off three muscular, brawny troops. They threw strong punches at her. She projected a force field to block all the attacks.
"Come on guys. You can punch harder than that!" she laughed.
Suddenly, a troop grabbed her from behind. While she tried to break free, the three brawny slowly advanced to her. One threw a rock solid punch to her. Luckily, she broke free from the other troop's grasp and dove to the floor before the punch even hit her. Unfortunately, the punch hit the troop that grabbed Invisigirl. He recoiled in pain. Invisigirl got to her feet and kicked one muscular troop in the face. The troop smiled at her. She kicked him once again, but it was ineffective. All three troops laughed. Suddenly, Invisigirl gave a solid kick to the balls of the troop. He hollered like a little girl. He fell to the ground. Invisigirl turned to the other troops. She enclose them in a force field ball. She kicked it, sending the troops to collide into a wall.
"WHO ELSE WANTS SOME?" she demanded.
At that moment, more SWAT troops came rushing to her. Invisigirl became invisible. She punched and kicked at every soldier who came up to her.
While Invisigirl was fighting off the troops, Tony was completely decimating every person who dared challenging him. Armed with a machine gun, he totally blasted every troop that stepped up to him. Every time he ran out of ammunition, he would just go up to a dead troop and take his own machine gun. After he did that, he would go and keep on shooting.
"YOU LIKE THAT HUH? YEAH, CAUSE YOU WILL BE SEE THAT ALL DAY! YEAH! I HAVE THE POWER NOW! NO ONE CAN STOP. . . THE ALL POWERFUL, MIGHTY TONY!"
"Tony, cut it out." disrupted his girlfriend. "Geez, that's the second time you lost it in this story. God!"
Tony blushed. "Sorry, got caught in the moment again." he said as he went back shooting at the troops. Suddenly, a SWAT troop, armed with a knife, came sneaking up on Tony. He pulled his blade back, ready to stab the unsuspecting Tony.
"Tony behind you!" yelled Valor.
Valor ran to Tony's assailant. He transformed his hand into his Dark Sword. He thrust his dark blade into the troop's body. He hollered in pain. Tony turned around only to see a dead troop by his feet. Valor reverted his hand. Afterwards, Invisigirl and Vigor reunited with their other comrades. Troop started to surround them.
"Okay. . . what do we do now?" wondered Invisigirl. No one answered. Suddenly, Tony pointed at a individual exiting the computer room.
"Look, he's getting away!" exclaimed Tony. He pointed to the figure, who happen to be Senator Pine.
"Forget him, we got bigger problems." Valor reminded.
"Violet, get ready." said Vigor.
"For what?" wondered she.
"When I give the signal, you put a force field all around us." Vigor waited. Troops began to slowly advance to the four teens. "Violet now!"
Invisigirl project a force field around the four, but not before Vigor fired a light blue orb from his gun. The orb hit the floor in front of a troop. He looked at it. After a second of silence and stillness, a white light blinded every person in the room, even the teens in the force field. After a minute, the bright light began to fade. When it completely disappeared, Invisigirl dropped her force filed.. Valor, Invisigirl, Vigor and Tony stared all around the room. Dead troops were everywhere.
"Connor, what the heck just happened?" inquired Invisigirl.
"Just a little special something that I only use if I am surrounded by bad guys."
"That was amazing!" Valor applauded, "for once."
"Come on guys. We better find Pine before he starts another crisis.
The four teenagers ran out of the computer room, leaving a large number of dead soldiers behind. They rushed up the stairs and out into the hallway. The first thing that greeted them was a green laser that was projected by a plasma cannon. It nailed Vigor hard in the chest, and he was sent tumbling down the stairway. Everyone looked at where the blast came from. Standing before them was Senator Pine, armed with a huge plasma cannon. Growling in frustration, he fired another shot. This time the beam was headed directly toward Invisigirl. She stood there, frozen and terrified. Suddenly, Tony shoved her out of the way. As she fell to the floor, the laser blast hit Tony square in the chest. He was knocked a couple feet, unconscious and hurt. Invisigirl turned, only to be hit by a laser blast from the plasma cannon, fired from Senator Pine. She was knocked off her feet and she crashed into a wall. Valor charged right to Pine. Unfortunately, a punch to his gut sent him to his knees. Clenching his stomach, Valor looked up at his crazed enemy. Senator Pine hit him straight in the face with a rock hard punch. He was knocked off his feet and sent slamming into Invisigirl.
"Now, I will finish you off." said Pine, turning the dial on the cannon at full power.
Afterwards, he fired one powerful shot. In an act of desperation, Vigor jumped in front of the beam and projected a mirror from his plasma gun. The good news: the blast bounced off the mirror and hit Senator Pine head on, resulting in his death. The bad news: as soon as the blast reflected, the mirror Vigor project suddenly shattered.
