Chapter 3

"Mask Scara, eh?" Lynn/Jade called out. "Well, I was hoping to have something to take my aggression out on."

"Come and try it, then," Mask Scara said with a smug grin.

"Jade, wait!" Luna/Livewire yelled out even as her sister charged at the trashy looking woman.

Mask Scara simply smirked before blasting Jade in the face with some mascara, launching her back straight into a nearby wall. "I believe your friend suggested you wait," she declared with a teasing grin.

"You're a real wise guy, you know that?" Lana/Freakazelle growled out.

"Aw, you're making me blush!" Mask Scara called out, taking out a makeup compact as she did. "But I'm afraid that I don't have much time to play with you. I've got big plans for this hick town, and I can't let any of you stand in my way."

"Yeah, well what about us?" one of the guards called out as he rushed the trashy looking woman...only for her to blow some of her makeup into the guards face, causing him to become blinded and stumble into a nearby wall.

"I have no time for pawns such as yourself," Mask Scara declared before turning back to Freakazette and company. "But you: I'll admit to being intrigued by your little group: after all, I thought myself the only one with power."

"Yeah, we tend to subvert expectations like that," Lily/Freakabolt remarked.

"Wait, back up: you're saying that you have powers like us?" Luna/Livewire couldn't help but point out. "What exactly can you do? I mean, no offence, but you don't exactly look like the kind of person to, say, play with fire."

"None taken," Mask Scara said with a shrug before giving a smirk as she gathered some energy in her hands, "But as to my abilities, perhaps a demonstration is in order."

"Look out!" Lily/Freakabolt called out before pushing her sister out of the way of the blast.

"Thanks, dude. I...OH MY GOSH!" Luna/Livewire gasped out as she got a good look at her sister.

"What: do I have something on my face?" Lily/Freakabolt asked, having not yet noticed that her face was sporting some rather trashy makeup due to Mask Scara's last "attack".

"That's it: nobody messes with my sisters but me!" Lola/Freakazette growled out before charging at the villain in question.

Said villain merely let out a smirk as she took out a makeup compounder and blew some dust into Freakazette's face, blinding her and causing her to crash into a nearby wall. "I'd be careful if I were you: nothing good comes from being blinded by rage," Mask Scara teasingly called out.

"Okay, dude, you want to play rough? Then let's light 'em up!" Luna/Livewire declared as she flew in with her electrical powers at the ready...only for Mask Scara to take out a large tube and blast her opponent, sending her flying into a nearby wall, temporarily disabling her in the process due to how the makeup was liquid based.

"Shockingly, that didn't work out too well for you," Mask Scara remarked with a mocking tone only to pause as Lynn/Jade came flying, much to her amusement. "You look like you could use a new look."

"No thanks: I saw what you did to Freakazelle, and I'm already not a fan of my current costume," the athlete snarled back before gaining a smirk. "And besides, you've got other problems to deal with."

As soon as those words were said, Lily/Freakabolt and Leni/Freakarella both charged at Mask Scara with a yell of determination…only for Mask Scara to move out of the way and have them crash into each other, causing the trashy villainous to laugh. "Well, I wish I could say it's been a blast, but it hasn't," Mask Scara called out. "This is a blast!" ...and that was all the warning anyone got before she threw a sharpened comb at a nearby electrical box, causing it to explode "My baby!" one of the employees called out, as a child that she had brought to work with her soon found herself trapped behind a pillar of flames.

"I've got her." Lori called, jumping into the flames to protect the child in question.

"You do that," Mask Scara teasingly remarked, "but I've things to do."

"You aren't getting away that easily!" Luan yelled out as she grabbed onto Mask Scara's leg as she attempted to fly off.

"Hey, get off of me!" Mask Scara angrily declared as she continued to struggle, eventually forcing Luan to let go of her leg and managing to have her land inside a refrigerated truck nearby, the force of the impact closing the door and trapping her inside soon afterwards.

"You'll never get away with this!" Lana/Freakazelle called out before Mask Scara made her escape, using her rage to hide her concern for her sister so as to preserve her identity.

"Perhaps not," Mask Scara declared in reply. "Or perhaps you'll come around to my way of thinking after a while. After all, you can't trash a book because of its look."

Leni/Freakarella could only gasp and watch in horror as she and Lola/Freakazette - who was sporting a similar expression - watched the trashy villain fly off into the horizon. "Mary Masquerade?!"

"Uh, guys, I could use a little help getting out of here." Luan declared from inside of the refrigerated truck that she was still trapped in, temporarily distracting the fashionista whilst also drawing the attention of her other siblings.

"Oh, right: sorry, Luan," Lana/Freakazelle remarked with an embarrassed grin as she opened the door to the truck...only to gasp as she took in her sister, who had somehow regained cryokinetic powers and an outfit consisting of blue, green, and orange sneakers, a plaid pair of shorts complete with grey knee pads, a blue shirt with an orange "K" on the chest complete with grey gloves, and blue hair and skin with an upwards pointing ponytail, as well as metal cone ears that she had sported back when she was Kewl Breeze.

"Dude, you've got your Kewl Breeze powers back," Luna/Livewire couldn't help but gasp out.

"I know: this is so cool...not to mention that I'm really enjoying this." Luan declared, getting some eye rolls in response.

"Uh, guys," Lori called out, causing her companions to turn around...only for them to gap in amazement as they saw that their sister had gained the red-tinted skin, a black one piece, red gloves and boots, and long, fiery blonde hair that came with a set of pyrokinetic abilities that she had sported back when she was Volcana. "I think something might have literally happened here."

"You have no idea." Lola/Freakazette declared, looking back at the direction that Mask Scara had flown off in with an uncertain expression.
