Awakenings

Chapter 7 - The Big Showdown, Part 3

Shego couldn't read Shelly's mind or Shelly read Shego's but they both were, in a way, the same person, so they could only predict what the other would do. With that strategy, Shego quickly held her hands out front waiting for the inevitable energy blast. Surely enough, as if compelled to act against her will, Shelly tried to get the drop on her younger self by firing off a bolt of black energy. However, the battle suit was designed to absorb energy to fuel itself, something Shego knew but Shelly was unaware of. And, sure enough, once the fiery mass of dark plasma made contact with the palms of Shego's hands, the suit devoured it ravenously, leaving it's wearing unscathed. "Thank you so much Shelly," Shego mocked as the green circuits around her suit began to glow with life. "I can't generate my own energy anymore but since your powers are so supercharged, I'm sure that'll keep me juiced for hours."

Shelly turned around and grabbed the chair she was sitting on a moment ago. "Alright smart girl, absorb this!"

As she tossed the chair with all her strength, Shego just stood there and waited for it. Just before it could hit, a green dome of energy surrounded her, shattering the chair to pieces when it made contact. "I got some more features I can show you if you want."

In a fit of rage, Shelly rushed at her younger self, swiping her clawed glove for the neck. With the suit's aid, Shego not only dodged with enhanced speed but retaliated with a blow to her twisted self's chin, her strength supplemented by the suit's power. Shelly stumbled backwards until she crashed into one of Dr. Hall's work tables. Seizing the advantage, Shego made her own dash toward Shelly. Shelly glared at her but suddenly grinned. "Here's looking at you, cunt" she hissed and her cybernetic eye emitted a powerful flash that caused Shego to stop in her tracks and swat blindly at the air in front of her.

Shego growled at her temporary blindness. "You cheap bitch!"

The evil tyrant from an alternate future steadied herself and pulled back her fist. "Hold still dear, this will only hurt a lot."

Shego might have been blind for the moment but she wasn't helpless. Putting herself in her opponent's shoes and predicting her next move, she took a breath and crunched herself as low as she could. The assumption paid off, she could hear Shelly whiff her punch. "You did not just miss that badly, did you?" she asked with a chuckle. Shelly could barely gnash her teeth in anger before Shego sprung herself upwards and backwards, slamming both her feet across the Corrupted One's chin. By the time Shego landed back on her feet, she could barely make out Shelly's crash landing into the wall.

Slowly raising to her feet and dusting the bits of plaster and debris off her shoulders, Shelly growled loudly and slammed her fist into the wall. "Cheating skank! I can't read your mind but you can predict my next move? Bullshit!"

Shego blinked her eyes until her vision finally cleared. "I think I finally see what you really are. You're not just some sadistic bitch, you're not even drunk on power, you're just real lazy."

"The hell are you going on about."

Shego smirked condescendingly and crossed her arms. "Incredible, I couldn't see it before because you were relying on your stolen powers. You can't fight anymore, can you? You got some moves but they are slow and rusted. What did you do in that future, sit on your throne and let your ass grow?"

Shelly snarled and shot off an energy blast without thinking. Shego absorbed it through her hands with little effort. "The Supreme One doesn't dirty her hands with fighting, she delegates."

"Oh, you're right on one thing. The Supreme One doesn't dirty her hands with fighting, she gets them dirty by shoveling down bonbons while watching soaps all day. Face it, without your powers, you're pathetic."

"Well then," Shelly hissed as she created two copies of herself. "It's a good thing I have powers then, isn't it?"

Outside, the battle still raged. Sheila, showing no fear, rushed in head-on and started swinging. A practice in futility, she discovered, as the copy easily dodged all of her attacks by seeing into her mind. However, Sheila was equally as adept at dodging Shelly's strikes and claw swipes with actual skill and a sharp reaction speed. It became a ballet of swings and misses. "How the hell are you so spry, you old bag?" the Corrupted One spat.

Sheila grinned and made sure she thought nasty thoughts loud enough for her foe to hear. "I can ask you the same thing. My white hair was a freak accident, what's your excuse?" The insult paid off and Shelly's copy began to get sloppy. This gave Sheila enough of an opening to start making progress, driving an extending knuckle on various sensitive points of the body. After a few hits, her opponent stumbled back, clutching her side. "Good thing super strength doesn't equal to super invulnerability."

"You idiot, you have to fight like that until I actually go down, I only need one good hit. Actually, I think I can get a good hit from right here," she mused before firing off a quick shot at her. Sheila could barely dodge it but she managed remain untouched. Mego tried again to attack Shelly on her blind side. She easily grabbed him before he could even try and threw him down to the ground. "Good, I need to blow off some steam."

Without mercy, she stamped her foot down onto Mego's chest. There was a sickening crack and a gargled scream caused by his sternum snapping underfoot. Sheila, seeing her son in danger, recklessly ran toward them and was plucked up by her neck for her carelessness. "You whore! You hurt my son!"

Shelly tighten her grip and Sheila began to strain just to breath. "Oh, I'll do more than that to him... and you too. But for you mom, I'll make it real slow, real painful. But for little Melvin, I think a quick step on his neck will be enough," she said with a grin, lifting up her foot.

"NO!" Sheila screeched and her hand flew to Shelly's neck, grabbing her attention.

Shelly growled and starting tightening her grip around her mother's neck. "Let. Go. Now."

The lack of air made Sheila light headed but she didn't let go. "Go... to hell," she rasped before she pulled with all her might and tore off the jugular vein. Sheila soon found herself on her back, her neck free from that vice grip. She coughed and wheezed, trying to catch her breath. When she finally tried to look around, it was only her and a severely injured Mego. She stumbled up to her knees and scrambled to him, trying to see how he was. From what she saw, he wasn't going to do anymore fighting for awhile. It pained her to see him like that and unable to help him. "Melvin... please stay strong... we'll get you help soon, I promise."

Yori drew out a pair of tantos and scowled at her for. "You monster, you would do that to them, at their age, your own brothers? You do not deserve to live," he declared.

Shelly smirked and waved Yori to come at her. "Come on little ninja girl. Let me show you how outclassed you are. I might even let you live if you bow at my feet and beg for your life."

Yori advanced at her adversary, bounding and striding, trying to overwhelm her with quick swings of her blades. Though she had the advantage of knowing every move Yori would make before she could make it, Shelly had to no time to retaliate while ducking and backing away from those sharp, deadly slices. "All your power, all your ill-gotten power and all you can think of using them for is destruction and domination! Why do you wish suffering on others, what good is it to live with hate in your heart and evil in your soul?"

At a brief moment where Yori left herself open, the duplicate plunged her claw into the girl's shoulder. She rang out a sharp cry and dropped the tanto in her hand, the other slapped away by Shelly. The claw was slowly pulled out, purposely scratching the inside just to cause more pain. Once removed, Yori dropped to her knees in pain, panting and trying to hold her wound to stop the blood. Suddenly, Yori felt a sharp pain on the top of her head and found herself off the ground.

"Why do I wish suffering on others?" Shelly asked, repeating Yori's question before slamming her fist into her stomach. Yori's eye bugged out and gasped deeply, the wind was knocked completely out of her body. "Because they're weak. Because they need to know who their superior is. What good is it to live with hate in my heart and evil in my soul?" she repeated before delivering another merciless punch to the gut. This time Yori coughed out blood and the world around her began to spin. All sensations were becoming numb, even the pain of being held up by her hair. "Clean out your ears girly, cause I'll only say it once; I AM evil!"

She tossed Yori aside like she was trash. Smirking, confident, sure she had won, Shelly walked over to Yori. "And you, my tasty treat of the east, are as good as dead. But I can't have an empire without servants. Beg nice and I'll keep you as my personal slave, what do you say?"

Without thinking, her body acting on years of training and the will to survive, Yori grabbed a kunai and hurled it without looking. All Shelly saw after that with the hilt of the kunai just at the top edge of her peripheral vision; it had gone in straight between her eyebrows. And in an instant, the copy popped out of existence. There was no celebration, no cheers or good words, there were only three heroes on the ground, writing in pain.

Hego, running on a victorious high, kept attacking Shelly while she was dazed. He pummeled his fists into whatever part of her he could hit, hoping to knock her out. "Vile villainess! Powers or not, you will learn that good always triumphs!" he cried out.

He went in to deliver a hard, running right but she disappeared before his eyes, shrunk down so small that he simply stepped past her. His feet tore into the grass and soil to stop but his body went flying when she fired an energy blast straight into his back. Face down in the ground, he could feel his suit torn, his skin singed and slightly burned. Hector dug his hands into the earth and tried to pull himself up until he felt one of his knee's pop out of place. Unbelievable pain accompanied by agonizing screaming, the copy enjoyed the sound as she kicked his other knee out of alignment as well. "What's that? I didn't catch that last part," she said with a sadistic smile.

"What always triumphs? Good?" she asked as she pulled his wrist up into the air. "What's wrong Hego, cat got your tongue? I could've sword you were saying something earlier." She slammed her palm onto his elbow, bending his arm in the wrong direction with a sickening pop followed by a shrill scream. "Ah, so you can still say something. Well, it doesn't matter anyway, I've had enough of your heroic banter." She stepped down over his other elbow and pulled his other arm as far back as it could go, disconnecting the joint entirely.

Hego was now laying there, all four limbs snapped in half, his throat so hoarse from screaming in pain that a small trail of blood trickled over his lips. She lifted him up overhead like a conquered trophy. She laughed at the irony of the moment. "Hego the mighty!" she cried out. "Strongest man alive! The unstoppable hero of Go city!" She slammed him down unto her knee, snapping him spine in half from the base. "Now a paralyzed quadriplegic." She let him fall to the ground, his eyes staring blankly up at her like a pair of dead eyes on a doll. "You know bro, this is a good look for you. Honestly, it really is."

The next thing Shelly could feel was a slight breeze rasping against the inside of her head before she blinked out of existence. Sherry retracted her weapon back into her forearm and cursed under her breath. "Damn... this is bad." She looked around and saw Sheila. "Sheila! We have to keep going, we have to help Shego!" Sheila didn't seem to respond. When the mechanical woman went up to the only standing member left on the team, she knew things were even worse than she thought. "Sheila... no, don't lose it."

Seeing her son's chest crushed in front of her, her two youngest writing in pain, and now her eldest child as a near-lifeless vegetable while her only daughter was somewhere alone with that monster finally took her to the breaking point. "This... this isn't happening... it's all a nightmare. I'm not really here... I'm in Nevada... I have dyed hair and a drinking problem... I'm waiting to die alone while my children live their healthy, superpowered lives..."

Sherry grabbed onto Sheila's shoulders and shook her. "Sheila, snap out of it. Damn it! I need your help, Shego needs your help! If Wade is right, we'll just use the orange meteorite to regenerate everyone's wounds and then this will be all just be a memory." No use, Sheila had disconnected herself from her children for so long and now when it seemed she was finally becoming a part of their lives again, they were being taken from her. Her mind seemed to have snapped from the very idea, she was unable to go on in her state. "Damn it Sheila... thanks a lot."

Sherry had to leave Sheila to her breakdown. "Damn it, this is bad, this is beyond bad. Those things tore through our ranks and they were just copies. It's up to me now, Shego's probably already dead going off alone like that." As she walked toward Dr. Hall's home, she opened a compartment in her chest and pulled out what the four scientist that designed her new body called "their ace in the hole;" Aviarius' power-absorbing crystal. "Well I'll make sure that bitch pays Sheila. For every one she's hurt so far, I'll make damn sure she pays in full."
