Chapter 3
Once, there was a time when unnatural people were accepted into our world. We were seen as heroes….superheroes...supervillains. Most of us stayed low, off the grid for many reasons. The people loved us, but the government hated us. If they saw us in public, using our powers, they keep a tab on us, soon to be eliminated. That's how the 'destructors' were created. They were super's who used violence to stop the government. I guess that's why we began to be seen as villains in disguise. My brother was a destructo. Well, the co-leader of it. His power was the ability to manipulate time for super's without that same exact power. He was unstoppable to all normals or squibs. Finally, one day the government had created a new weapon. Well, the weapon was a robot. The robot's 'skin' was designed to shift into ice, fire, stone, and metal to resist some of our powers. Their hands were made to shape shift into almost any weapon. Guns, swords, axes, you name it. The bottom of there feet has jet boots to boost their running and jumping skills, which leaving some super's up a creek. But only 5 robots were made that could cause a whole superpower to be distinguished. Those robot's looked exactly like the normal ones, but the 5 had pearl white eyes. What makes them so powerful you might say. They could drain one's powers. All of it, like you drinking a glass of cold water. Once they took your powers, there minds/motherboards process it into its code, then it uses your own power against you, leaving you utterly helpless. Most super's became a victim to the 'exterminator bots'. I witnessed them at work before. It was a normal day for my clan of super's. We relaxed inside of the starbucks, drinking our coffee.
" Nice day huh?" said Dan, his power the ability to spawn fire and ice.
" Yeah, it i-" Jennifer was about to say when she screamed. I turned around, seeing 2 exterminator bots tossing cars out of their way. All my friends, a total of 20 of us, began standing up, some to stunned to run, some already trying to escape. The ones that began flying away were already classified as dead. One bot lunged at the 10 that were flying away, grabbing their legs in its deathly grip. The bot ripped Jennifer right out the sky, the bot making whirring noises. She was fighting against it, still floating, but she instantly turned pale, falling upside down, being held by one leg. 'They got her powers!' I had thought, rushing for my car. One bot smashed through the wall, stabbing a knifed hand into one super. Gladly and sadly, he has healing powers, but soon blood began dripping down the bots hand, his wound not healing. The bot tossed him at a table and shot fire out of its hand, fire licking across some super's skin. Tho-gor, a super with ice, water, and liquid powers, made a ice wall, shouting for people to rush out. The bot walked closer and closer to Tho-gor, Tho-gor straining to keep it away. The bots 'skin' flipped over, showing flaming metal skin. It grabbed the ice wall, melting it completely in a few seconds. Tho-gor seemed to already knew he was going to die and closed his eyes, the bot stripping away his powers. The bot then grabbed him, freezing him into a certain death. I ripped the door open to my car, grabbing a snow globe under the dash board. The snow globe was a teleporting device, just there for any emergency. I looked at the sky as I prepared the globe, and saw all the flying supers fall out of the sky like flies. Each one pale and unmoving by the time they hit the ground. I threw the globe down at the ground as the 2 bots began walking at me. I jumped inside the portal the globe had created, being zipped into my bunker, then shutting the portal right before both bots could cross. I panted and began to pound my fist on the ground. I was the only survivor out of all 20.
After witnessing the mass murder, I never dared to get a yard close to anybody or any robot that resembled a exterminator bot. Years later, I met a man. He was a super, but with powers that only the first super ever had. He was able to control minds, spawn any element, create dead armies, and boost each of his powers, unlike any super I or any of my super friends ever known. That's when we knew, he was the one who could help us.
He managed to take down the exterminator bots but he told me, that one day, us supers would live separated. Mixed with normals, evil supers, and good supers alike. He also said that the normals and evil supers would obtain and create new, more powerful exterminator bots. But, he said one super would appear, with powers greater than his own, to protect all of the groups….and take down the super controlling the exterminator bots. He then died a few days later, but who is reading this, now knows our story. Please stay safe the super reading this and make sure the bots….are never made.
