It's really short, but the next chapter will be the epilogue, which could possibly be even shorter. Anyway, this story is obviously coming to a close, and without the same fame that its predecessor knew. Ah well. Congrats on easily spotting the 6teen reference, which is another show that I like. I put in another one, along with my promised small cameo.
Disclaimer: I do not own TDI, 6teen, or any of its characters, but I do own Slash, John, and every other member of the Underground, Zetkik, and any other minor characters.
UNKNOWN AREA
Craig looked on the television set, particularly interested in Slash. He knew one thing that would turn Slash from hero to zero, and set off to do just that.
WAWANAKWA CITY- 10 MINUTES EARLIER
Looking around, the superhumans found themselves in a familiar place. Well, at least it would be, if Wawanakwa City wasn't half-destroyed right now.
"Well, I'm kinda stuck here," Jude admitted. The others looked at him.
"What are you talking about?" Duncan asked, unibrow raised.
"I used way too much power dudes. Now, I have to stay here and recharge my powers for a while. Don't worry, I'll still get to see if you guys can kick John's ass… or not," Jude added, chuckling slightly after he did. The others sighed, and looked ahead. John was lighting a building on fire just a ways ahead. Harold held up Zetkik's head.
"How do you work this thing?" he asked, shaking it a little. Suddenly, a beam of bright blue light shot out from the head, and headed for John. The heroes watched in awe as the beam enveloped John for a few seconds, and then retreated back into the head. Jude grabbed the head, and began to take off.
"I'll keep it safe for you guys! Good luck with John dudes!" he called out, before disappearing into a random building. The superhumans looked ahead, and saw that John was confused as to why his powers had suddenly disappeared. Taking advantage of this, Ezekiel called out.
"Hey John! It's over!" John looked over, and scowled.
"I beat you guys once, and I can do it again!" he challenged, slipping on his iron knuckles. Slash drew a knife, and pointed at John.
"CHAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGEEE!!!" he called. With that, John ran towards the heroes, as did they.
Courtney ran up, and managed to get the first hit at John with a right hook to his jaw.
"That's my girl!" Duncan called out. Courtney blushed at looked at him, when John grabbed her arm. Courtney turned back around, and John punched her right in the forehead. The attack knocked her down immediately. Duncan growled. He blasted another fire jet at John, making him run a little ways away.
"I am sick of you guys beating on my girl!" he shouted, before running at John and tackling him to the ground. He managed to land on top of John, who was facedown. Duncan turned John around to look at him, and punched him three times in the face before John punched him back, and slipped out of the pin. Duncan, still dizzy from the sudden punch, couldn't move fast enough to dodge the next punch. The hit knocked a tooth out, and Duncan took one step to the side before falling to the ground in pain. Geoff transported right in front of john, and quickly punched him with an uppercut. When John stumbled back, Ezekiel charged into his back, and slammed him forward. Still unable to regain his balance, Owen ran forward, and threw his stomach to knock John further back. John went right into some building wreckage, and groaned from the triple threat. John stood back up, and noticed a metal pole that was conveniently lying around, and picked it up. He ran at his enemies, swinging the pole as he ran like a madman. The superhumans scrambled, and John singled out Harold.
"Say goodnight!" he shouted, raising the pole above his head. Harold panicked, and closed his eyes, waiting for the worst. When nothing happened, he opened one eye slowly.
He was surprised at what he saw. The entire area was a dull gray, with nothing moving. Harold sighed in relief, when he realized that it was his time control powers in effect. He chuckled evilly, and set to work. First, he undid John's belt, and pulled down his pants. With an evil smirk much like Duncan's, he pulled out a pen, and drew on his face too. Then, deciding on a grand finale, he noticed a dog nearby that was about to pee on a fire hydrant. He walked over, grabbed the dog, and brought it over to John. He positioned the dog to pee on John, and then stood behind John. Then, he allowed time to reoccur. Suddenly, there was a loud clang, as John hit the ground where Harold once was. Then, he felt the dog peeing on him, and tried to step to the side. Instead, he tripped over his pants, exposing his red boxers to the world. The other heroes registered what happened, and began to laugh madly at John, who now looked utterly pathetic. Harold turned to them, raised his hands, and bowed.
"Thank you, thank you," he mocked, unable to suppress a grin. John pulled up his pants, and stood up. He brought the bar back up again, ready to swing at Harold. But, the nerd's highly trained ears heard the sound, and he whipped his fist back at John's nose, hitting him directly in the face. John fell to the ground once again, and the heroes cheered for Harold. John growled on the ground, and grabbed Harold's leg, yanking. The nerd fell onto his face, and groaned. John brought the pipe up again, and managed to hit Harold over the head this time, knocking him out.
John stood back up, looking pretty pissed off now. He clutched the metal pole tight, and stepped over Harold's unconscious body. He looked at the remaining ten heroes, and brought the metal pole back. They all looked confused for a moment, when John threw it right at them! It smacked Cody right in the head, and he fell backwards, knocked out. Bridgette stretched her fist back, and snapped it forward at John's face. The attack sent John flying, and his nose began gushing blood. He wiped some away after his rough landing, and saw another fist approaching him. He dodged, and grabbed Bridgette's arm, looking smug. Bridgette gulped.
"Crap!" she exclaimed, when John pulled on her arm, and sent her flying. She flew past John, and hit her face on a building that hadn't fallen yet. As she fell, Trent took off to catch her, as Geoff was still in shock. But, as Trent flew over John, he jumped up, and grabbed onto Trent. The added, awkward weight made Trent slowly descend, until they hit the ground, and rolled out of control. Trent smacked right into the same building as Bridgette, who landed on him soon after. John had managed to regain his composure, and looked at the remaining seven heroes. But, when he looked up, they were gone.
"What the?" he thought, just before it began.
Geoff appeared out of seemingly nowhere again, with another uppercut to send him stumbling backwards. Ezekiel rammed into his back, sending him forward into Owen's large stomach. As he soared through the air, Slash ran up, and jumped onto his stomach, sliding his back across the ground. As he skidded to a halt, Slash stepped off of John's body, just as Heather and Gwen walked over. They smirked down on him.
"Too bad John, we're still alive," Gwen taunted. John just growled, when he heard sirens. Then, Izzy jumped out of the car, and pointed over to where the three of them were.
"There he is officer!" she called. The officer stared at Izzy suspiciously.
"By any chance, are you Izzy?" he asked, eyeing her up. Izzy shook her head.
"My name is… Nikki… Nikki Wong," she replied, plastering a fake smile on her face. The gullible officer took the bait and left Izzy alone, going over to arrest John. John was picked up, and taken into the police car as he was read his rights.
The heroes all gathered together, and noticed that some of their friends were waking up: Harold, Duncan, Courtney, Trent, Bridgette, and Cody. As they all went over to help them up, the residents of Wawanakwa City ran up to them, cameras all ready. They noticed that an important looking man walked up near them.
"Well, Mayor Angel, what do you think of these fine young heroes?" a nearby reporter asked. The mayor cleared her (?) throat, and was about to answer, when a familiar face popped up in front of the camera: Craig.
"This guy!" he shouted, pointing to Slash, and turning him around, revealing that the back of his jacket had 'Underground' across it. Craig turned around, and showed that his jacket had the same thing.
"Was part of the Underground, John's organization! He's no hero, he was under John's leadership before!" he announced. The audience gasped loudly. Slash looked at Craig.
"You know, you're exposing yourself too," he pointed out. Craig's once confident face turned to realization.
"Oh," he uttered. "Probably shoulda thought this out more," he commented. There was an awkward silence.
"Arrest those men!" Mayor Angel called out. Two cops walked up with handcuffs and took Slash and Craig away in a manner similar to John. The heroes were about to protest, but Geoff pulled them into a huddle.
"We'll take care of it later. For now, just pretend that we're with it," he whispered quickly. With that, John, Craig, and Slash were hauled off ti jail, and the heroes spent the majority of the day on TV.
THAT NIGHT
Slash was alone in his cell, although he hadn't had anything confiscated yet. The police were busy with John at the moment, with Craig soon to follow. Then, Geoff suddenly appeared in his cell. Slash immediately understood, and Geoff wrapped his hand around Slash. The two disappeared, without the cameras or guards ever catching anything. Slash looked around. They were in a rather sandy, empty town, much like in those old cowboy movies. He turned to Geoff.
"Where am I?" he asked. Geoff shrugged.
"Some town in Mexico," he replied.
"Why Mexico?" Slash asked, looking around at the town. Geoff chuckled.
"Well, you're wanted in the United States and Canada, so this is the only country in North America that you're safe in," Geoff explained. Slash looked at Geoff in disbelief.
"One problem," he told Geoff, who perked up. "Me no speaky Espanola," he told Geoff. Geoff shrugged.
"Then learn," he replied, before turning on the spot, and disappearing. Slash looked at the town again, sighed, and walked in.
Meanwhile, Geoff returned to the other heroes at the shack. He looked around at them, and then nodded. They all sighed in relief, understanding that Slash was safely taken care of. Now, with the threat of John and the Underground out of the way, perhaps they could return to their normal lives. Well, then their thoughts were interrupted when the door slammed open.
"Hey dudes!" Jude called out, holding Zetkik's head in his arms. The others nodded in his direction, as he held the head for them to see.
"I'm gonna take this back up to the… higher beings so they can seal this stuff away. Other than that, I guess this is good bye," Jude noted. The others nodded again.
"Thanks for everything Jude," Owen thanked, with Izzy at his side. Jude nodded, and floated off. Now, all there was for the heroes to worry about was what their future would hold.
Yep, next chapter will complete this, and then I'll move onto 'Futuristic Adventures' and 'More Than Just Playing the Game', as well as anything else that I come up with. Speaking of which, I plan on bringing out that series with Harold and Izzy solving TDI murder cases (inspired by Parody-lover's own murder series, and somewhat similar) near the end of January, start of February. It's all mapped out, and is so far looking to be my longest story yet. But, that's for way later. For now, stay tuned for the epilogue sometime this week.
