Failure

A circular, navy blue ship gently flew to Zivix's. As it did, a long, metal tube extended out of the ship and connected to it. The smaller ship's door opened, allowing Riefnd to exit it and begin walking onto the larger ship.

"Riefnd," Alinor greeted, bowing his head as his superior walked towards him.

"Hello, Alinor. How are you?" A soft, kind voice greeted, as if spoken from a grandfather to his grandson.

"I am content. Please, follow me for a tour of the ship." The two began to walk down the metal hall of the ship, a loud rhythm of taps echoing throughout. "As you know, the Hidden Hand has a very small crew. Only about a dozen or so, not including the Captain of the ship, Zivix. The ship is mostly taken care of by Zivix's autom-"

"Zivix asked you to keep me busy, didn't he?" Riefnd chuckled.

"I would never do that, old friend," Zivix declared, as if appearing out of nowhere in front of the pair. "Please, follow me." He walked away from the two and Riefnd glanced at Alinor before following the scientist. The two traveled down the metal hall, coming to Zivix's private lab room.

"How are you, Zivix?"

"Well. Yourself?"

"The mission is going well. I will soon retrieve the LEGACY Project. For the good of our species, of course."

"Of course. Have the natives of the planet been kind to you?"

"Oh yes, very much," Zivix replied as he looked at a computer console. "I've found they can be very beneficial with the proper 'word choice.'"

"I'm glad to hear that. With my help, I'm sure the process will finish even quicker!" Riefnd happily declared, looking at Zivix's various tools, scattered on a table.

"I do not need your assistants."

"Lord Vjak insists, friend."

Zivix looked up and saw one of his organic drones, from the Halloween chapter, on the ceiling he needed and the beast nodded back. It jumped from the ceiling and crashed onto the metal table, making Riefnd fall back onto the ground with fear.

"We are not friends. Kill him."

"What are you doing?" The other alien crawled back as the drone hopped off the broken table and raised a claw. Riefnd suddenly grabbed a nearby tool, the Soulless equivalent to a blowtorch, and held it up, firing it as the beast attacked.

A jet of fire burned the monster's hand, giving him time to get up and run out the door, Zivix sighing angrily. "Stop whining and kill him," he ordered, scolding the monster as if it was a dog. The beast nodded and ran after, breaking down the door and forcing the doorway to stretch to hit it.

Riefnd made it though, running into his ship, just as the beast caught up with him, ramming itself into the ship's door. That caused the ship to shake and it ended up dethatching from the bigger ship.

"All cannons, fire," Zivix ordered.

"Sir, what's going on? Why are you attacking Riefnd's ship?" Alinor inquired, as the automatic guns opened fire.

"Well, I never really liked the guy to be honest. Far too bubbly and annoyingly cheery for my taste. Secondly, because I can. Thirdly, because once I'm about to acquire the LEGACY Project and with it, no one will be able to stop me," the scientist replied as a monitor came down from the ceiling, showing him Riefnd's ship being hit by a laser and spiraling towards Earth. "Why? Do you intend to stop me?"

"...N-no, sir."

Michael has had a list of regrets in his life. He regretted wearing a superman costume to school on Halloween because a kid stepped on his cape and tore it. He regretted drinking too much water before bed once and wetting it. He regretted drinking all of the milk, but leaving the container in the fridge.

His latest regret? Telling Lucy and the rest of his friends he was the Silver Sentinel.

Why? Because a few seconds after revealing it, Lucy had slapped him across his face. Taken back by just how powerful the slap was, he fell to the ground, rubbing his cheek.

"What the hell was that for?" He screamed.

"If you're not going to take this seriously, then neither am I. Go do whatever you want, jerkface," Lucy declared, before turning around and walking off in an angry huff.

I'm telling the truth! Lucy!" Michael shouted as she walked off. He was about to call out to her again before LEGACY spoke.

Michael, stop. We need to leave, immedietly.

But-

There has been a jail break. Huma, Emerald, Ruby, and Sludge were freed by Soulless drones. We need to find them.

What? When?

Earlier today. The Soulless must have been blocking the signal, the local police have just found out about it themselves.

Michael had to resisted letting out an angry groan as he stood up and began to walk away. He stopped though as a hand took his own. He turned to see Daisy.

"Mikie, are you okay?"

"…I'm fine, Daisy," the Korat lied, putting a smile on. "I'll see you tomorrow." He pulled his hand from the girl and began to walk off.

"…Lucy!" The yellow feline ran after the Khao Manee and grabbed her hand, stopping her. "How could you do that Mikie?"

"How could Mike lie to our face like that?" Lucy responded, pulling her hand from her.

"What if he wasn't? What if he was telling the truth?" Abbey questioned.

"What? You mean that loser being the Silver Sentinel. That's impossible," Paulo laughed, before slowly stopping and looking at Jasmine. "Right?"

"Well, Michael has been running off lately, and the Silver Sentinel does appear when he's not around," David commented. "That, and they're relatively the same size, build, and their voices are a lot alike.

"You guys don't really believe him, do you?" Lucy yelled. She saw their faces and heard silence before letting out an angry sigh and walked off, red-faced with anger.

Bronze Titan stood in the junkyard, attempting to call his superiors. But try as he might, all he could get was static. "What the heck is going on?" He sighed, before hearing something. He turned around and looked left and right, but found no evidence of anyone else being there.

Suddenly though, Emerald and Ruby leapt out of the ground and slammed their fists into the Titan's damaged back. The attack threw him forward, making the giant crash onto the ground. Shards of colored stone ripped out of the ground and bended to their whim, holding him down. As he tried to break free, the sound of fire was heard as Huma walked over to him. He was stopped by Sludge though, who slithered in front of him and stood between them.

"Come on, Sludge. It's not like I was going to kill the guy or anything. I was just going to say hi," the flaming skeleton chuckled. "With fire. Lots of fire."

"Enough talk you two!" Emerald ordered.

"Help us free Victim," Ruby added, moving behind her sister and placing her hands on Emerald's shoulders.

"So we can kill the Sentinel," the two giggled, stroking each other's body.

Are you stable, Michael?

"I'm fine, LEGACY," the Korat mumbled, flying through the air, answering a police transmission about Sludge attacking. He found the slime monster roaring loudly and smashing empty cars in a Roseville's town square. "Sludge!"

Careful, Michael. The other criminals may be preparing a trap.

Sludge looked up at the silver superhero and stretched up to meet him, followed by turning his hands into hammers and trying to smack him out of the sky. Sentinel dodged the attacks and aimed a telekinetic blast at him, before hearing LEGACY.

Behind you.

The armored hero quickly turned and made a forcefield, blocking a stream of fire. He made another, blocking Sludge's punches as Huma flew over.

"Hey there, Sentinel. Remember me?"

"How could I forget? Huma the Firecat."

"I'm a bird, damn it!"

As the two villains distracted him, our hero didn't notice Victim, Emerald, and Ruby on the ground. Victim opened up his kneecaps and fired at the Sentinel. The shots hit the distracted hero, sending him plummeting to the ground. He motioned for Ruby and Emerald to attack and then did, each throwing a car at him.

Michael.

"I KNOW!" Michael wrapped his arms over his body and packed himself up as tightly as possible, going headfirst, right through the car's side window and out the other. He then looked at the other car and grabbed it with his powers at the last second, spinning around and tossing it at Ruby.

"Sister!" Emerald roared and ran at him, but he flew away from her, keeping his distance. This left him open for Sludge to crash upon him, trapping the silver hero in a black ball made of slime. It didn't hold for long though, as the ball exploded with telekinetic energy.

Emerald ran at him, but he dodged her and blasted her in the back of her head with another blast, sending her flying into a truck.

"AHHHH!" Huma screamed, tackling from behind and slamming his face into the ground. He quickly hopped off of him, letting the dazed hero stun. "BURN!" The skeleton slammed his fist into the Sentinel's gut, before uppercutting him in the face, making him step back. He then grabbed him by the helmet and slammed his knee into glass, cracking it and damaging the hero's eyesight.

Michael finally blasted him back at the attack and fell on his knees, his suit struggling to repair itself. He was given no time to rest though as Victim wrapped his twelve whips around him, electrocuting him. Ruby pushed the car off of her and ran over, attacking the masked hero with her clawed arm. She then stepped back as Huma blasted him with fire, roasting him alive with Victim.

LEGACY! HELP!

Armor damaged. Systems…shutting down.

The villains finally relented, freeing their foe and letting him hit the ground. His armor was gone now, and all that was left with a young teenager. He was covered in burns, with cuts and bruises all over his body. There was almost more injuries than actually fur on his body. He laid on the ground, unmoving as Sludge and Emerald walked over.

"That got him," the green girl grinned.

Sludge looked at him, shocked that the superhero was nothing more than a child. He didn't even look old enough to drive yet.

"Come on! Let's kill him!" Huma announced, creating a fireball in his hand.

"Hold it. Zivix wants him alive," Victim ordered. "He said we can kill him after he takes away his powers."

"We'll roast him alive!"

"No, tear him apart," the sisters giggled.

"Maybe drop him from a building," the cyborg smiled, before looking at Sludge. "Or maybe you can suffocate him, Sludge?"

"…"

"What's wrong? Shocked it was so easy?"

"…" Sludge suddenly smacked Victim aside and leapt at Michael, wrapping around him and protecting him within him as he turned into a ball and rolled away from his comrades.

"HEY! Where the hell is he going?" Huma questioned, shooting jets of fire at the slime man. He missed though, which allowed the two to escape.

"…Zivix will not be pleased," Victim whispered, seeing the ball of fire throw a manhole cover aside and fall down it.

END

So class, what did we learn? That's right!

Lucy is mean and Sludge isn't. Good job! As all around!
