Foursome
"Who is this guy?" The Silver Sentinel whispered as he and Bronze Titan fought against Emerald and Ruby.
I am detecting a heartbeat within that metal case. It is an exosuit. I am attempting to find out who is within it.
Right. Tell me what you find, Michael replied, dodging Ruby's fists and elbowing her in the gut. He then tripped her with his foot and grabbed her legs, throwing her right into her sister.
"We're losing! Who is this other man?" Emerald asked her sister as they both fell to the ground and rolled out of the way of Bronze Titan's fist.
"I don't know! But he'll die like all the rest," Ruby screamed, suddenly throwing her arms around her sister's neck and embracing her. She hugged back and a cocoon of stone surrounded them. The Sentinel and Titan stared at it, before charging forward in hope to stop whatever they were doing.
Before they could hit the pod though, arms and legs ripped out of it and smacked the two aside. The arm on the right was red, and the other was left. The fingers were sharp and clawed, with the feet matching the color scheme and clawed nature. The cocoon became the body, turning into a more square shape and creating two large, yellow eyes; which were actually Ruby and Emerald's faces.
"Die!" Their united voices commanded, attacking the two. Bronze Titan blocked both of the creature's hands and grappled with it as Sentinel leapt into the air.
"TK Sword!" Michael shouted, bringing his psychic sword down on the united monster. A scorpion like tail suddenly shot out though, smacking him aside.
Word of advice: Whisper the words next time.
"Yeah. Thanks for that…"
Bronze Titan continued to grapple with the stone beast, not noticing their tail wrapping around his leg and suddenly pulling on him and throwing him onto Sentinel.
"Guh! Heavy! Get. Off."
Bronze Titan did so and looked at the smaller hero. "You have any battle strategies for this sort of situation?" He whispered.
"You expect me to have plans for this sort of thing?" Sentinel replied, before pausing to hear LEGACY. "I have an idea. You got any guns on that thing?" Bronze Titan nodded. "Good. Wait for my signal." Just as those words were said, Emerald-Ruby had picked up a train cart and threw it at our heroes, who jumped out of the way to dodge it.
The silver superhero placed his hands on the ground and then raised them up, causing the pebbles to fly up and spin around. This created a massive storm which resulted in the remaining watchers running away to avoid it as the two superheroes vanished within it.
"Where are they?" Ruby-Emerald screamed, knocking the pebbles out of the way with their hands and tail. Despite this, the thousands of small rocks blocked their gaze like a real sandstorm.
They felt something touch their tail, before they fell down and were spun around rapidly by a tall, muscular figure. The Titan released them and sent them flying into the air, only to be smacked down by an invisible rod, right back down into the ground.
"AHHHH! SENTINEL!"
"Yeah?"
Ruby-Emerald spun around and saw a silhouette in the storm, something that the pebbles weren't hitting. Something small…
"SENTINEL!" They cried, charging forward on all fours like a mad animal. They leapt forward, only to find that the figure wasn't the superhero. Instead it was a psychic dummy, basically psychic energy compressed in the form of the Silver Sentinel to make it look like he was there. It vanished right before hitting Ruby-Emerald and they instead crashed into an oil tank, knocking it down and laying on top of it.
As if that wasn't enough, the tank and they were suddenly pulled high into the air. "Now!" Michael ordered, opening a hole in the sandstorm for Bronze Titan to get a clear shot. The giant aimed his right fist at the soaring tanker and fired a missile at it from the top of his fist.
"Oh no," Ruby-Emerald whispered, letting go of the tanker right as they saw the missile. It was too little and too late, as the tanker was hit and exploded, blasting them to the ground. Even as they crashed onto the train track, they groaned and tried to rise up.
"They're still moving," Titan growled.
"Not for long!" The silver savior punched the ground and suddenly all of the pebbles he had lifted flew into the air and packed themselves together into a large fist. That fist came down on the sisters, finishing them off. "There." He held up his hands and the cracked and unconscious bodies of Ruby and Emerald came out separately. He walked over and placed a hand on both of their heads. A small spark was seen before the stone melted off of their bodies and they were returned to normal. Once they were healed, the hero looked at Titan. "Thanks for the help; um…Bronze Titan was it?"
"Right hook," he whispered as he walked towards him.
"What? WHOA!" Michael jumped back, dodging a right hook from the metal man.
"You're under arrest. Either come quietly or fight me."
"We just worked together! Now you want to kill me?"
"No. I want to enforce the government's law. The justice system will decide if you die or not," he responded, before trying to attack the armored hero again. Sentinel dodged his fists by sliding between him and standing up behind Titan. "Run. I don't want to fight," he whispered, before turning around and swinging his arm at our teenage hero, who dodged it.
Sentinel quickly used his powers to blind Titan by grabbing some sand and blasting it into his face, sticking. By the time it was out of the way of his eyes, the silver superhero was flying away.
Michael, I have collected my data and I believe I know who was within that suit. The voice is altered, but knowing your planet's technology level I was able to return it to normal. It fits with a voice in my databanks. Duncan Davis.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I am proud to bring to you a new hero. Someone we can trust. Someone we know can protect us. Someone will protect us from the Silver Sentinel and his abominations. May I bring to you, created by Nirvana Industries, the one, the only, the Amazing Bronze Titan!" Hubert declared, as the floor opened up beneath him, and the Bronze Titan rose up from it on an elevator. The people clapped in approval as Michael watched from his television.
"Are you sure that's Mr. Davis?" He asked.
One hundred percent.
"I guess that explains why he attacked me. He has to act like we're enemies because the President still things we're evil," he mumbled as he watched the reporter commenting on the appearance of Bronze Titan. The suit suddenly cracked open with a hiss and everyone saw the chest open to reveal a male, black cat.
"Piloted by the Chief of Police, Duncan Davis!" The cat waved at the group as the dog clapped his hands. "That's right, big applause. He's a real American hero, kids!"
"Great. I finally get some help, but he has to attack me every time we meet," Michael sighed, rubbing his head.
No one said this would be easy, Michael.
"No one asked if I wanted this."
"Another failure," Zivix growled, before the loud sound of pincers snapping was heard. "But I think I can still fix this. I just need one more shot. And I happen to have one last shot," the alien smiled, looking at a screen that had Richard the Dalmatian on it. "Alinor. Get me my private lab ready. I have something special planned for this one."
"Yes, sir."
END
