Reminder: Vi was hit by lightning
"VI!" screamed Mia. "Are you all right?"
"She's still breathing." said Sam. "And I can feel a pulse." Tony's face, which had been white as paper, began to regain some color.
"Whew." said Mia. "For a while there, I thought..." She trailed off. Everyone knew what she'd been going to say because they'd all been thinking the same.
Just then Vi coughed and sat up. "Wow." she said. "What happened?"
"You were hit by lightning and passed out." explained Tony, his voice shaking.
"OH MY GOSH! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" asked Mia hysterically.
"I-I'm fine." replied Vi slowly. "But...it's a clear night. Where did the lightning come from?"
"From me!" shrieked an evil voice from within the alley. A tall, thin woman jumped out. She was wearing a supersuit that was black with red lighting bolts all over it. A large dark blue T with a gray cloud behind it (obviously her symbol) was printed across the chest.
The girls screamed, and even the boys looked a little frightened. "Who...who are you?" asked Vi shakily.
The villianess laughed evilly. "Mwah-hah-hah-hah-hah! I am Tempest. I can control thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. I am the one who hit you with lightning. And I have been sent here to destroy you - Viomist!"
"Huh?" Tony looked puzzled. He looked from Tempest to Violet and back again. "What are you talking about, lady?"
Tempest cackled. "So, your little girlfriend hasn't told you yet, eh? Well, now the world will know!" She closed her hand into a fist, then opened it and pointed her fingers at Vi. A bolt of lightning shot out of her hand straight toward Vi. She instinctively put up a force field to shield herself and her friends. The lightning bounced off without harming anyone.
Vi released the force field and turned to Mia. "C'mon girl, it's time to bring this villain down!"
Mia nodded. She turned invisible, and so did her clothes. (Edna Mode had specially designed that disappeared whenever Vi and Mia did.) Vi disappeared also.
"Woah, dude!" "Were'd you guys go?" Tony and Sam looked around uneasily.
Mia whispered in Sam's ear, "Take cover. Whatever you do, don't get caught!"
Sam and Tony ran and hid behind a dumpster to watch the battle. Mia picked up a stick and crept toward Tempest while invisible.
Meanwhile, Vi was running around trying to distract Tempest while Mia stuck up from behind. The villianess was throwing out lightning with stunning accuracy, and Vi was running out of energy fast. Geez, thought Vi. Hurry up, Mia!
Mia crept up and smacked Tempest with the stick. She passed out and slumped on the ground.
Mia wiped off her hands. "Whew." she said. "That wasn't so bad."
"Speak for yourself!" said Vi. "That Tempest lady wasn't throwing lightning bolts at you!"
"Well, we're all okay now." said Tony. He and Sam came out of their hiding place. Tony grinned at Vi and Mia. "Great job, guys!"
"Yeah." said Sam. "I never thought girls could fight like that!" Mia gave his shoulder a light whack. "Hey!"
Vi grinned mischievously. "Good going, Mia!" She suddenly gasped and looked at her watch. "Oh my gosh! It's 10:57 now! We better go."
The boys walked Vi and Mia home, but they left with many questions spinning around in their heads.
What will happen now that Vi and Mia have revealed their powers to their boyfriends? And who is Tempest? To find the answers and more, review for the next chapter!
