Skylar's P.O.V.
I slowly regained my consciousness when I heard evil cackling in the distance. I cracked open my eyelids to see five blurry figures in eye-blinding red suits. I shielded my eyes as the following events returned to my mind. I barely had acknowledged what had happened when a vaguely familiar girl stepped into the room and came at me walking slowly. I squirmed as I tried to find a way out of the chains that were holding me hostage. But it was no use. Just like the bars in Caldera, the chains the block the signal to my powers. The girl laughed at me with each step as if she was enjoying watching me suffer. Suddenly a recent memory came to my mind and I knew who it was. This person was the reason Douglas was in the hospital. This person was the reason Chase kept blaming himself. This person was the cause of the stolen superhero list.
"Reese" I whispered angrily.
"Who else would it be?" she said laughing like a mad scientist. "As you can see my team and I have captured you to lure your own teammates here to lead them to a tragic death!" she said smiling at the last few words that she said.
"What team? And what tragic death?" I said wriggling around.
"Don't you see? My brothers and I have partnered up with the ultimate villains of you and your teammate's past and with them on our side we will wipe out the whole universe of bionic and superheroes!" She screamed clearly overwhelmed by her own plan. My ears pricked up at the sound of a constant ticking that was gradually getting louder and louder.
"You're going to blow this place up, aren't you? I replied as I tried as hard as I could not to cry.
"BINGO! Ding, ding, ding, she finally got one right!" Reese said smiling slyly. "But we're not going to destroy you. And that leads onto the next phase of our plan…But I think it would be better coming from the genius behind it" she said smiling cunningly. What did she mean?
"KRANE!" she screamed into darkness. Suddenly, a large man with some serious face issues erupted from the shadows and walked towards me.
"Skylar Storm!" he said whilst twirling a silver device.
"Who are you?" I whispered as I cowered in fear, mostly from the metal traces on his face. Seriously, what had happened to this guy?
"I'm the man who's going to wipe the world of all bionic heroes!"
"AND superheroes!" Reese yelled at him, narrowing her eyes.
"Right" he said as he muttered under his breath and rolled his eyes. Clearly this was not a beautiful friendship.
"Why aren't you going to destroy me along with the others?" I questioned eyeing the metal device in his hands.
"Just before we left the penthouse, I struck you with this, the triton app. It is so powerful it can control anyone's motions and activities and we're going to use it on you. You'll be the ultimate weapon in our plan to bring down all of the bionic and superheroes!" Krane yelled in my face, while spitting violently.
"Umm, say it don't spray it!" I yelled at him whilst crouching away from him, trying to avoid his spit arrows shooting at me. I grinned cheekily at him when I remembered that I had gotten that line from Bree.
"REESE, it is time!" he yelled at her as she ran over to us.
"Time for what?" I asked them nervously.
"THIS!" they screamed in my face as I covered myself once again avoiding spit arrows. Experion, Megahertz, The Annihilator and Marcus were grinning from a distance whilst checking out each other's mission suits. I had to admit they did look very fashionable.
"Five, four, three, two-"Krane and Reese counted simultaneously before I interrupted their sequence.
"Wait! Can't we just work this out? I can't attack my friends! Please!" I said, stalling for as long as I could. Reese and Krane shrugged their shoulders at each other before turning to me again.
"Fine. I guess we can-. PSYCH! One "Reese yelled in my face as the infamous villains cornered me. Just as I was about to protest, Krane hovered the device over me as Marcus and Experion released me from the heavy chains and an emerald green ray shot out of it and engulfed my brain. My eyes slowly faded from brown and a bright green colour shot into my sockets. My screams filled the hall before dying down and a command flashed in front of my eyes. I am no longer Skylar Storm; I am now a super soldier working for The Evil Force and my mission was to eliminate all heroes including The Elite Force. Krane and Reese eyed each other menacingly then looked back at the grinning super villains.
"Phase one is complete! I think" Reese questioned Krane.
"What do you mean you think?" Krane yelled in Reese's face.
"Well I don't know if I can trust you; you might try and double cross us!" Reese yelled in his face.
"What?" Krane shouted clearly shocked. Okay if I was going to work for these people I needed to set some boundaries between these two.
"Okay! You guys need to calm down. You need to remember we're all on the same team here!" I said calmly. They all stared at me for a moment before going back to their constant arguing with the other villains joining in this time. They shoved me out of the way before making their way into the darkness still bickering with the other villains trailing behind them. I rolled my eyes at them as I sat down with the command flashing through my eyes repeatedly when my ears twitched picking up something with my Skylar Sense. I heard the sound of running footsteps echoing through the tunnels. I immediately got into my fighting stance narrowing my eyes at the entrance of the tunnels when the sound of the footsteps suddenly stopped. I looked around in confusion when a ray of ice shot at my feet freezing me to the ground. I looked above me which was a huge mistake because the next thing I knew my eyes were splashed with a tidal wave of water.
"Who's there?" I screamed shaking my hair like a wet dog when in an instant my entire body felt numb. I slowly cracked my eyes to find a very familiar face standing in front of me.
"OLIVER!" I shouted at him as I tried to activate my lightning power and throw it at him but to my disappointment I found he had turned me into an ice sculptor. He eyed me anxiously for a second before picking me up with his super strength and flying away. As soon as he flew out of the ruins of Mighty Med, my heat vision was activated and was melting the ice surrounding me. I'm not going down without a fight. When I finally thawed out, I slipped from Oliver's grip and fell onto one of the many skyscrapers below us. I pounded my fist into the top sending a thunderous earthquake throughout the city causing a massive blackout throughout the entire city. When the light throughout Centium City resurfaced I came face to face with an Oliver I had never seen before. Instead of fear in his eyes, I saw determination. My eyes turned to their natural hazelnut colour for a brief moment, shocked to see the brave and determined Oliver come out since we had captured his mother. Ever since we put his mother away, I don't see this side of Oliver often. But the command was getting brighter and bigger and once again my eyes lost their colour and gained glowing green pupils. Time for my new upgrade.
"You're going to wish you hadn't come to 'rescue' me!" I said calmly with my back turned to him. I took a few steps away from him, giving him a confused look. I had him right where I wanted him. I dramatically turned to face him and the loudest scream in history erupted from my mouth as several sonic scream waves demolished everything on the rooftop, knocking Oliver clean off it. The evil look in my eyes never once left my face. I looked over the rooftop, far onto the ground but Oliver's body wasn't there.
"Looking for me?" a voice appeared out of nowhere. I turned around to see Oliver levitating with sonic blue sound waves circling him. His eyelids snapped open and his pupils were an icy blue. Although I didn't show it my knees were shaking like crazy. Oliver had finally had his power-up. Every hero has a secret beast within them that is released when they are threatened. I knew none of my powers not even my newly upgraded ones could beat Oliver. But every hero has a weakness. And his one is me.
"Oliver, please don't do this. I'm your first and only love. If you let me go, I promise when all the other heroes are destroyed… I will spare you!" I pleaded with him as I held my crossed fingers behind my back at my last statement. His eyes softened for a moment as I smirked at how gullible he is. My hands lit up with my lightning power and just as I was about to strike him, he rose up as high as the moon in the night sky and his hands lit up with bright blue plasma balls. My eyes turned to shock for a moment as I tried to fly away but it was too late. The power running through his body exploded from his hands and hit me as I screamed in pain. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was Oliver's eyes returning to normal whilst he picked me up and flew into the distance.
I woke up to find myself in-cased in an icy dome as three people stood around me. It was a blur at first but I realised it was Bree, Kaz and Oliver who was holding the same metal device Krane was except it was glowing bright blue instead of green. Almost instantly, my hands lit up with my electrokenesis and I started blasting the ice. It was cracking with the pressure of every hit when it finally broke open but before I could fire at them Kaz ran over to me and put me in an arm lock. I struggled as I tried to get out. I barged him and blasted him, I even gave him a wet willie but no matter what would he let go.
"I need my sister back!" Bree screamed into Oliver's ear as he winced at the pain then he remembered something. He sprinted over to me and held the device over my head as I begged him not to. Actual tears were streaming out of my eyes as I pleaded with him.
"I'm sorry Skylar. You need to change back to your rightful self. The bold and fearless hero Skylar Storm. The superhero that even without her powers, she is still super" He said whilst Bree, Kaz and I rolled our eyes at his cheesy remark. Before I could protest my eyes were illuminated with blue as millions of images flashed before my eyes. My eyes opened to show that my pupils were once again hazelnut brown. I looked around to see Oliver, Bree and Kaz surrounding me with doubtful looks on their faces.
"Oliver!" I cried out as ran up to him and hugged him. He immediately embraced me as I wept into his shirt. He pulled away and wiped the tears off my face as Bree and Kaz high fived each other.
"I'm here Skylar and I'm never letting go" Oliver whispered into my ear as Mr. Davenport came up from the hyper-lift with a grave expression on his face.
"What's wrong Mr. Davenport? Wait a minute! Where's Chase?" I interrogated him as my smile disappeared. Bree, Kaz started at each other then looked back at the guilty-faced Oliver who was still gripping onto me. Mr. Davenport finally broke the awkward silence.
"His entire bionic infrastructure was fried. I was just pushing Douglas' wheelchair into the apartment when I saw Kaz and Bree arrive from the window. But they were holding a body and I instantly recognised it. It was Chase. I immediately let go of Douglas' wheelchair and ran over them. My eyes didn't waste any time to spill tears. Chase had been in danger so many times it was tearing my heart apart. They explained to me that Chase and 'someone' had a big argument over 'someone' and 'someone' lost it and let's just say he isn't getting up any time soon" Mr. Davenport said quietening down at every word.
"Wait, why do you keep saying 'someone'? What exactly happened to him?" I questioned him on the verge of tears. Oliver kept mouthing 'don't tell her' but Kaz mouthed back 'I have to'. Bree spoke up as she placed her hand on my shoulder comfortingly.
"Skylar, I'm sorry and you're going to find very hard to believe but… Oliver did this to Chase!" Bree said sorrowfully as I whipped my head around to face Oliver who was staring down at his feet.
"Oliver! Is this true?" I shouted at him not wanting to believe it. He shuffled his feet nervously as he grinned anxiously.
"Skylar, Oliver used his power-up on Chase and froze his heart!" Kaz panicked as Douglas wheeled into the living room.
"Donnie, I've tried everything on Chase, he's just not waking up!" he yelled as he came into the living room, his eyes covered with a blindfold. But I had no time to ask Douglas how everything went at the hospital. I only cared about one person. Chase.
"Okay that's it!" I bellowed as I ran into the hyper-lift. The last thing I heard before I went down was Oliver's voice shouting 'now look what you've done'.
The doors opened for my eyes to see Chase's lifeless body lying on the cyber desk. My heart shattered at the sight of the smartest man in the world unconscious. I raced over to him whilst my quivering hands tried to shake him awake.
"Chase, you've got to get up! Your team needs you. Your family needs you. I need you. My feelings are all mixed up. I think I'm falling for you but I also like Oliver. You're the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about when I go to sleep. I've never gone through anything like this before. Normally I intimidating and fearless but when it comes to feelings I'm a mess. I just know whenever you're in the room and you smile, you make me like you even more. I'm always going to be shy around you but just know I will always be there for you!" I cried out as my tears streamed down my face and fell on his face and the tears were absorbed leaving a small pink letter S on it before disappearing.
"Okay that's it! There's only one thing that I can do!" I whispered as I powered up my lightning power. I looked at him briefly before knowing that this was the right thing to do. I clasped his hands as orange sparks from me were transferred into him turning blue when entering his heart. I dropped to my knees at the pain when suddenly two dragons one orange, one blue erupted from our hearts and combined together to create an all-powerful purple dragon that hissed and spat at us before flying up the hyper-lift. I smiled knowing I had done the right thing and just before I blacked out I heard the voice I loved to hear every day say 'don't worry, I'll protect you Skylar!'
By the way in this story Skylar is kind of like Emma in Every Witch Way with two boys fighting to win her heart. Anyways enjoy the chapter and please:
