The Gift of Death
"I'm here!" Michael yelled, running into the class.
"Ten minutes late, Michael. Where were you exactly?" The teacher asked as Mike walked over to his seat in the back and sat down.
"I was…Um…"
"Save my baby!" The mother tossed her baby out of burning building, right into the Silver Sentinel's arms. "Save my iguana!" She screamed, before tossing a large, green, lizard out.
"What? Oof!" The flying hero groaned as the iguana landed on his visor and held onto his head, blinding him.
"Save my husband!" The obese cat threw her husband out the window, which landed on Sentinel.
"Oh come on!"
"SAVE ME!"
"What? AHH!" The four stopped inches from the ground, with the Silver Sentinel on the bottom. He gently laid them all down and sighed in relief, before hearing a gun being cocked. He looked up and saw a policeman aiming a gun at his head, with others quickly following.
"Freeze! Don't move!"
"You have got to be kidding me…"
"Sleeping."
"Well go take your seat and try to pay attention," the teacher ordered, shaking his head. Michael nodded and sat down, and he saw Lucy staring at him. They had yet to talk to one another about their relationship.
You should really get to that, Michael.
You make it kind of hard! If I'm not sleeping or at school, I'm fighting crime or supervillain.
As I stated, Michael, I do not approve of you helping your people. I only approve of fighting being created from an off planet source.
I can't just sit back and let people get hurt when I have power to help them.
But what gives you the right, Michael? LEGACY inquired. Your race is primitive compared to the Ancient Ones. You are a being unnatural to this world, because of your gift. You are causing events that would not happen, had you simply dealt with the metahumans.
But I'm also helping people, and that's good enough for-
Michael's thought process was cut off as a crumbled up piece of paper smacked his forehead. He unfolded it and saw words written on the white paper.
Where have you been, jerkface? – Lucy.
Michael looked at the paper and then at the back of the Khao Manee. Paulo was between them, and he glanced at Mike, expecting him to right back. He quickly wrote down a message and poked the orange cat's shoulder, and he passed it on. It didn't take long for him to get it back. What followed was a short conversation between the two.
I've been busy. – Michael.
With what? – Lucy.
Nothing important. – Michael.
Cut the crap, jerkface. If it wasn't important, you wouldn't be busy with it. – Lucy.
Michael.
It's nothing. Don't worry about it. – Michael.
Michael, I hardly see you. I want answers. – Lucy.
Michael.
It's none of your business. Why do you even care? – Michael.
Because I'm dumb enough to care about you still! Jerkface – Lucy.
Bitch. – Michael.
Michael.
Retard. – Lucy.
Are you two quite done? – Teacher.
Pest. – Michael.
Asshole – Lucy.
MICHAEL!
"WHAT?" Mike screamed, standing up from his chair. He suddenly realized the position he was in and looked at his angered teacher, and an even angrier Lucy. "…Sorry."
Michael, we have Soulless activity close by.
How close? Michael thought as the teacher began to scold the two for the rest of the class to see. The classroom suddenly shook as a loud crash was heard. Screams were heard as the fire alarm was turned on.
That close.
"Everyone out, now! Single file!" The teacher commanded as everyone ran out of the class. As soon as they were out, Michael searched for somewhere to change as another crash was heard.
"Mike!" Lucy shouted, seeing the boy run off. She grabbed his hand, but he pulled away.
"Get out! I'll be right behind you!" He ordered as he left her behind.
"…?"
"Sentinel!"
The Silver Sentinel flew at the front gate of the school and saw a car in the wall of a classroom, with a lightpost knocked down nearby. There were a number of holes behind the monster, created by his bird like feet.
The figure was a white robot, very tall and skinny. He had a pair of long arms, with six fingers at the end. He had long, thin arms and legs, with a very thin waist connecting his pelvis and chest together. Most eye-catching though, was the figure's head. The head was like a dog's head, but with all the flesh gone and the bone replaced by metal. A pair of glowing blue eyes was the only thing seen in them.
"And who are you supposed to be?" The hero asked, floating above him.
"Victim." The figure's fingers suddenly disconnected from his hands. There was a very thin line connecting each digit to the hand it came from. He swung a hand at the Sentinel, and half of the twelve whips struck the hero, electrocuting him.
What the heck was that?
Scans are showing a number of hidden weapons on 'Victim.'
"Great," the boy sighed, holding his arm. Victim swung at him again, attacking him with all twelve of the whips now. The hero fired a powerful telekinetic blast, which pushed the whips back into his hands. He rapidly fired more telekinetic blasts, but Victim's talons were dug into the ground, protecting him.
"My turn." Victim dashed forward, running on all fours. The Silver Sentinel fired at him, but he kept dodging out of the way. The cyborg kept moving, before flipping and landing on his hands, using them as feet. He then grabbed the fallen lightpost with his feet and swung it at the hero, hitting him in the visor and knocking him down.
"LEGACY, please tell me you have some advice for me," the cat groaned, standing back up. He looked up to see Victim flipped up and grabbing the lightpost with his hands. He lifted it back and was about to swing it when a rock hit the back of his metal head.
"Get away from him, you stupid hunk of junk!" Lucy demanded, throwing another rock.
"Lucy, run!" Michael ordered, cursing himself from saying her name. He quickly got up and tackled the cyborg and flying off, ripping his metal talons from the ground and into the air.
"He knows my name…?" Lucy whispered.
I am really bad at this secret identity thing, the Korat thought as he flew off with Victim in his hands. The cyborg suddenly pressed a button on his chest and a hole opened up, dropping a small, black ball into his hand. He then pressed his thumb down on a small circle, before holding it in front of Mike.
Before Michael could realize what it was, it exploded, sending the two of them spiraling down. The silver superhero quickly pulled up and gently landed in the middle of a junkyard, while Victim crashed onto a pile of cars, crushing them. The cyborg rose up though, dusting himself off, before looking at Mike.
He doesn't have nanobots.
What?
There are no nanobots within him. I am detecting very little organic material. Most of his body has been replaced by metal.
Well then, how are we going to turn off his powers?
Give me a moment to calculate.
"Great. Whoa!" Sentinel jumped back, dodging another bomb. He then ducked down, dodging a whip, before soaring into the air, dodging another bomb. He fired more psychic blasts at Victim, but the cyborg shot into the air. Suddenly, a rain of bombs fell down around our hero, and he had to create a protective shield around him to defend himself from them.
There was smoke all around him, blinding him as he looked around for Victim. Suddenly he heard the sound of gears turning. He fired a 360 degrees blast, all around him, before looking up to see Victim in the air. He held up his hand and grabbed him, before bringing him crashing down to the ground.
As he lied on the ground, Victim's leg suddenly stretched towards our hero, and his large, clawed foot grabbed him in its grip, crushing him.
"AHHH!"
Victim rose up and his arms separated, becoming four, three digit, arms. As if that wasn't bad enough, each hand began to spin, becoming a circular saw. Each blade inched closer to his body, when a large, brown fist smashed into the villain's head, freeing Sentinel and sending the cyborg flying.
"Need a hand, Silver?" Bronze Titan asked, as he crashed onto the ground. He held up his left arm and his fist returned to him, reconnecting to the armor.
"That depends, are you going to attack me again?" The younger hero groaned, holding his side.
"Hopefully not. Ready?"
"Ready."
Victim rose back up and rubbed his metal cheek, before looking at the two. His arms reunited and slowly moved his fingers, expecting them to attack first. They just stared back, awaiting his first move.
Get on with it.
"TK Sword!" The Silver Sentinel and the Bronze Titan charged forward at the cyborg, which ran at them, before leaping into the air and tackling them both.
"DIE!"

Insert witty thing here.
