AN: Enjoy this chapter! Mysterious people all abound in it! My advice? If they seem familiar, add 20 years of aging and my own crazy imagination. :)
Chapter 57: Two Alien
(Warmonga's Base)
Drew Lipsky was feeling perfectly fine physically and being a scientist, he also knew two things. The first was that the only way he could be healing so fast was due to nanobots. Having messed around with that technology from early on in his villain career, he knew exactly how to tweak, reprogram and dismantle the technology to fit his own needs.
The second thing he knew was that Warmonga or that other alien woman was going to return soon when they thought he was strong enough to last against whatever they had for round two. He suspected that they would next use some kind of brain drain against him and he almost smiles as he knew that he had long ago come up a way for the police or government to keep from using his own brain scan technology against him.
Drew wasn't sure that even Warmonga knew of his scientific expertise as she had just treated him like a General or something and provided him with all the tools rather than allowing him to do anything for himself. As if she had considered him getting his hands dirty was a bad thing. Still, it would now give him an edge that she didn't know about and it was a simple matter to disable and dismantle the energy guns as the bigger gun seemed to only care about him trying to escape out the exit and with him so close by in one place, it obviously didn't consider him a threat.
After using the parts gathered from the dismantled guns, he reprogrammed the nanobots in his body and then reassembled the energy guns with a small tweak or two in it that would allow him to escape when he needed to.
He was just glad that Warmonga hadn't even bothered to do a search of his person after kidnapping him or she might have seen his tools that he carried on himself to fix the various things around his home or labs and given the size of the place. Always running back and forth would have been extremely tiring.
Drew walks back to where he had been standing where Warmonga and that other alien woman knew he had been and just in time because he could feel the little tremors caused by Warmonga's style of stomp-walking. Stealth was something that seemed to elude Warmonga from what he remembered about her. For where Shego could always sneak up and surprise him, Warmonga's stomp-walking approach kept him scared in another way because she was always trying to hug him and that always made him extremely uncomfortable.
Warmonga comes through the door a moment later with what appeared to be a helmet designed for a large head but a quick glance told Drew that it was self-adjusting to any size.
Warmonga stomps up to before Drew and says, "Warmonga hate to do this to you, but you leave little choice. Warmonga must know what you know about Mindy and the others."
Drew looks up at her defiantly and says, "Warmonga… if you let me go, I promise you that I will keep Shego from hurting you. Otherwise, I'm afraid this entire place will be destroyed."
Warmonga looks down at him and sees that he wasn't bluffing and says, "Warmonga can't let you go. Not Warmonga knows why that girl seemed to be like the Hollwoolagims."
Drew looks at her with great confusion and says, "The Holl-what-gims now?"
Warmonga could see the confusion and says, "Long time ago on another planet, my people came across Hollwoolagim, people who could glow much like Mindy when she attacked me on the spaceship. They were a people of considerable power and skills. My people had a very difficult time countering their powers since they didn't seem to adhere to any kind of known science."
Drew knew that Mindy's powers were derived from mystical powers exactly like her father's and as such, magic had its own set of rules that defied science.
Warmonga says, "My people ended up being forced to destroy their planet before they could gather their forces and defeat us. Many of them still escaped destruction but Warmonga thought they all died off in either isolation or after they were executed when they were caught."
Warmonga shakes her head and says, "Warmonga is sad that it was before her time. Warmonga would have loved to fight the legendary Hollwoolagims. It was rumored that one alone could take on an entire ship full of my people and win. So do you see why Warmonga must know?"
Drew shakes his head, still in confusion and says, "What does any of that have to do with my planet?"
Warmonga tightens her grip on the helmet and puts it on his head before she says, "If your people are developing such powers like the Hollwoolagim or an escaped Hollwoolagim made it to your planet, then Warmonga must inform her people and your world will have to be enslaved or destroyed before they can become a threat."
Drew opens his mouth to protest when suddenly a large explosion goes off and Warmonga nearly loses her footing.
The voice of the other alien woman suddenly says over the communicator on Warmonga, "Warmonga! We have company and they are somehow able to blast us despite our best jamming devices!"
Drew cheerfully cries out, "Shego! I knew she'd come for me!"
Warmonga growls at the name as she remembered the sidekick and says loudly, "Return Fire and destroy them! Warmonga is heading back to the control room!" She then turns towards the door; ready to leave when she stops and remembers what she came to do in the first place.
Warmonga presses a button on the helmet, activating it before she quickly walks out the room.
Drew grins as he was glad Warmonga had not stuck around to see the helmet on his head glow as it tries to scan his brain and then start to short out as it activates the device inside him designed to short out or destroy such devices such as the one on his head. However his joy was short lived as it starts to get hot, really hot!
Drew runs around yanking at the helmet, which refused to let go as he cries out, "Ouch! Yaaaa! My head is on fire! Get it off! Get off you blasted helmet!" It isn't until he runs around too much that the big gun decides to treat him like he is escaping and fires a blast at him and misses hitting his body as he ducks but does strike the helmet in just the right spot that causes it to finally release his smoking head.
Drew stands in one spot, patting his head very quickly until the small fires that had caught in his hair were finally put out.
The big gun didn't see hand waving as a reason to fire so it simply just watched him, primed to fire again.
Drew says, "Guns, target the big one and fire!"
The two rebuilt energy guns had been made more powerful than they were before and upon hearing the command from Drew, they immediately whirr to face the big gun and fire two powerful energy beams in a crisscrossing style that destroys it!
Drew says, "That's better. I think it is now time for me to get out of here and go meet up with my wife." He turns towards the door and points at it as he says, "Guns, target that door and blast it!"
(Meanwhile)
Sheila, once known as the villainess Shego shows off just exactly *why* she was a feared woman to mess with in her heyday as she powers up another powerful blast through the front doors to the base, which send them flying explosively down the corridor.
Sheila growls as she looks around for something else to blast, as she had made a really big plasma ball to get through the doors. A bit of an overkill but she was really angry that Warmonga had taking her husband and didn't care who knew it. Not Warmonga and not the people who was with her.
The people who were with her knew that Sheila had a temper that could be as fiery as any plasma ball that she could create. In fact, it was one of the many reasons that they'd come with her, to keep her from doing something that would put her on the path to the dark side.
Sheila growls, "Let's go…" she then starts to move with surprising stealth since the alarms were undoubtedly going off in command center in the base with the destruction of the doors.
The whole team continues forward with her in the lead and Sheila takes care of any security guns that pop up quickly out of the walls with blasts from her hands. Another team member takes care of any rear surprises by blasting them with energy blasts from her hand while a younger guy version also joins in by blasting the lighting system to put the whole corridor in darkness.
With infrared/spectrometer glasses over their eyes, it became much easier to see what needed to be blasted and to avoid the laser trips that lined the corridor.
The team slowly makes their way through the tricky corridor, avoiding most of the traps and weapons that were set to detect them and blast or capture them before they come to a large door that just screamed, "Do Not Enter!"
Sheila starts to approach the door as she powers up a ball of plasma energy the size of a fully blown up beach ball when suddenly the doors open up and reveal Warmonga with a staff in one hand and a fist-sized shield octagon thing in her other hand.
Sheila shouts, "Where is Drew? Where are you keeping my husband you…" She trails off as she feels a hand on her shoulder. She shrugs off the hand and takes a step forward, still keeping the ball of energy in her hands.
Warmonga looks at Sheila with surprise and says, "The blue one chose you as his battlemate? Does this mean you are the mother of the one he called Mindy?"
Sheila looks at Warmonga and shouts, "Where is he? Did you hurt him?" as she ignores the question about Mindy. She didn't owe the alien any answers until she got some of her own.
Warmonga tilts her head as if looking at Sheila with curious eyes and says, "No… Warmonga doesn't believe so. You're protecting this Mindy one. Who is she?" She ignores the questions about Drew and then says, "Warmonga doesn't see Mindy with you, where is she? Does she not care about him?"
Sheila had had enough and starts to advance towards Warmonga with her huge ball raised over her head, "Tell me where he is or I will blast my way past you and find him myself!"
Warmonga raises her fist with the small device in it as she says, "Warmonga will let you have him when he is drained of all his knowledge, which should be in a few minutes."
Sheila pauses and says, "Drain? What do you mean? What are you saying?"
Warmonga grins and says, "Warmonga means that he was very resistant in his interrogation. You should be proud, he held up better than any warrior Warmonga has ever met!" She pauses to look over all of them and then says, "Because of his bravery, Warmonga has had to use a last resort technology where everything in his brain will be downloaded to our computers where we can access it at will."
Sheila's eyes go shock-wide as she realizes what Warmonga means. She begins to tremble in rage as she closes her eyes, visualizing Drew on the ground with vacant eyes, an empty shell.
Warmonga continues as if Sheila had never closed her eyes and says, "Warmonga will finally have all the information needed about this planet and the best way to take over your planet. Sadly, his courage will leave him as nothing more than data in our banks."
Sheila suddenly tosses the huge ball of energy as she screams a loud, guttural sound with Warmonga activating the device on her arm to create a full-body shield that withstands the attack. Barely.
One of the teammates shakes his head and very softly says, "Oh… this is not good. Not good at all." With all of them shaking their heads.
One of them begins to play a song "Beat It" by Michael Jackson and when they all give her a cross look she says, "What? Music gives me more power and quite frankly I think it is a fitting song to go up against that alien with."
Before anyone could say anything Sheila screams like a demon possessed and leaps at Warmonga with powerful, flaming hands.
Warmonga extends her staff to full length and shrinks the shield to a more manageable size. She swings the staff and strikes Sheila in mid-leap, sending her flying into the wall to Warmonga's left.
Everyone cries out, "Sheila!!"
Sheila gets up immediately, unfazed by the blow and says, "I am not leaving without my husband and if you think THAT is going to be enough to stop me. You are sorely mistaken you giant she-thing!"
Sheila fires a powerful stream of plasma energy right at Warmonga who puts up her shield, deflecting it from hitting her. The blast is so intense upon initial strike that the blast spray was melting the ground where landed.
Sheila stops firing and leaps up, kicking off the wall behind her to propel herself fast at Warmonga where she punches with her plasma power covering her hand. The blow is powerful enough to cause Warmonga to shrink back from the blow to risk being knocked back off her feet.
Sheila lands on her feet and immediately does a foot sweep but Warmonga was a warrior too and she leaps up just barely ahead of the foot. She swings her fist again as Warmonga comes down with a thunderous boom onto her feet but Warmonga deflects it with her shield and swings down hard with her staff but Sheila moves just barely out of the way in time.
Sheila does a flaming hand attack towards the staff to see if she can destroy it but Warmonga presses a button and it immediately retracts out of her reach.
Warmonga says, "Warmonga is the victor in the battle of the…" She is stopped as Sheila shouts, "I don't care!" and is tackled by Sheila to the ground. She extends her staff with a press of a button and uses it to knock Sheila off of her.
Warmonga and Sheila both get back to their feet and begin circling each other, looking for a weakness or an opening that they can exploit but both were too experienced to leave any such things.
The one playing the music is in awe of the two expert fighters as she had never seen Sheila in action nor, so serious. Like the others, she had grown up knowing about Sheila's shady past as well as how she eventually turned from that dark path to walk the path of good for the sake of her children.
She whispers, "She's awesome… I never knew how good of a fighter she is." A voice whispers back, "She is good but something is wrong…" She whispers back to the voice, "What do you mean?" The voice whispers, "I've seen her fight and something about this fight seems wrong to me."
Before she can ask what was meant by that, Sheila makes a move by blasting from one of her hands, sending Warmonga who barely got her shield up in time across the corridor and into the wall.
Warmonga peels herself off the wall and frowns as she shouts, "Warmonga!!" before she starts to charge at Sheila who responds by running at her with flaming green hands of her own.
The two of them clash hard in the center with one flaming hand blocked by Warmonga's arm-shield and the other hand stopped by the staff.
Warmonga suddenly and without warning, she starts to send an electrical charge from her shoulder that flows down along her arm and onto Sheila's hand that was still on the staff. The purple energy flows around Sheila's arm up to her shoulder and then before anything can be done. She yells as she turns and throws Sheila hard towards the others who'd been just watching.
The song "Beat It" suddenly changes to "Wake Me Gently by Alice Cooper" and large waves coalesce into what could only be described as a big pillow that catch Sheila in mid-air before she can slam painfully into her teammates.
Sheila hops off the giant pillow and without even looking, she ignites her hands again and says, "Thanks for the assist Claire-Annette, I mean Rhapsody." She corrects at the last second as she remembers what she wanted to be called while in hero clothes.
Rhapsody says, "You can thank me by kicking that big green on her butt so we can go rescue him already!"
Sheila gets into an attack position as she says, "No problem…" which becomes more of a growl by the time she says, "It will be my pleasure."
Sheila launches into a flurry for hand and kicking attacks that are so fast and furious in their power that all Warmonga can do is go on the defense and be forced backwards ever so slowly.
Warmonga is forced up towards the very door through which she had come through and finds herself with limited space to work with when suddenly the door opens up on and everyone is surprised to see another green alien woman.
The younger electric powered one says, "There's another one? Just how many of these giant, green aliens are we supposed to face?" before being smacked on the arm. He rubs his arm as he says, "Sorry mom."
AN: Well everyone, I hope you enjoyed this exciting chapter. What did you think of the Drew scene? Did you enjoy the clever way used his scientific know-how to turn things to his advantage? What did you think of the info about the Hollwoolagims? Do you think any surviving Holl's reached Earth? Did you laugh when Drew ran around with his hair on fire? What did you think of Sheila's appearance? What did you think of the Warmonga versus Sheila battle? What did you think of the musical save? Who do you think will win now that Warmonga has another to join her?
As usual all reviews, votes, ideas, suggestions, guesses about who's with Sheila, and more are always welcome.
