"Are we ready to go yet?" Damien asked annoyed, ready to board the jet.
"Kyle's still not here," Cade said behind him.
"Do you really think he won't beat us there? Now are the rents ready or not?"
"Can you stop calling us that?" Max asked, walking upstairs in his hero costume. "It's still weird,"
"I don't know, I kind of like it." Simone said beside him in her's.
"Well you're weird." Max told her.
"Is that anyway that talk to your future wife?" She demanded.
So they were always like this? Zyler signed to Cade.
"It would appear so."
"Yeah guys, looks like Kyle's going to be meeting us there." Stella told everyone. "He and Colosso are flying over the Atlantic now."
"Of course he is." Damien groaned and walked inside the ship.
"Who's Kyle?" Billy asked Cade.
"He's our cousin. He's-" Zyler elbowed him, cutting off his brother and shooting him a look. "He's Damien and Stella's brother." Cade finished.
"Oh, ok." Billy said as he boarded the jet with Zyler behind him.
"What aren't you telling us?" James asked Cade once everyone else was out of ear shot.
"What do you mean?"
"Who are Kyle's parents? Tell me," Cade looked at James, shocked he saw through their ruse so easily.
"Guys, it's time to go." Phoebe said from the jet. Cade smiled before walking away.
"I didn't even know the van could do this." Colosso commented as the Thunder Van flew over the ocean.
"Henry showed me. My grandpa's dad had it put in when he was the main hero." Kyle told him.
"Who's Henry? Another one of your cousins?"
"No he's-wait I can't tell you that. It's a spoiler."
"Of course," Colosso rolled his eyes and kept driving.
"It's beyond repair." Mayhem sighed. He and his daughter had returned to their fortress to examine their satellite. "Our dream of ruling over this world, is at an end. I'm so sorry daughter."
"Fear not father, for I have another plan. If this world will not bow to us, then it shall shatter under our power. Let us destroy everything and start again. We can rule over the world that we create from scratch." She said removing a small statue of a gargoyle like creature from the sleeves of her robe. "An old friend gave this to me, I think it's time we use it." Candi looked on worried as to what they were planning.
"We're getting a transmission," Simone told everyone aboard. "I don't recognize the signal."
"Answer it," Damien said sitting up. Simone looked at him questioningly but answered it anyways.
"I don't know if you'll receive this, but you need to get back to Mayhem's fortress now." Candi's voice came from the radio.
"Is that Candi?" Billy asked stepping closer.
"Mayhem and his daughter have lost it. They have this weird statue that their planning to use to, um, start over the world or something. It doesn't make much sense to me, but you need to stop it. I need to go, they're calling me back." Her voice cut out as it ended.
"Well, never thought she'd be the one to turn sides." Phoebe said. "But at least now we know what we're up against. Simone, can this jet move faster?" She asked.
"Let's find out." Simone said with a smile.
"We're all gonna die." Max muttered under his breath right as the jet drastically increased speed, causing Billy to fall back, landing in James's lap.
"Um hey," Billy said with a blush.
"Sup?" James asked with a smirk.
"Back in your seat Billy," Max called back to them. Billy pouted before he got up and went to back to his seat.
"Something wrong?" James asked. Billy was about to protest when James spoke up again. "Don't bother saying no, you're a terrible liar."
"It's nothing, it's just that with all these kids showing up, saying they're from the future, our future, I was just hoping that maybe-"
"One of them would be ours?" James finished. Billy nodded. "I didn't know you wanted kids."
"Maybe one day, I'm not sure right now." Billy said, looking down.
"Hey, we'll figure it out ok?" James said, wrapping his arm around Billy. "You know I love you right?"
"I love you too."
"Is it ready yet?" Mayhem demanded.
"It is now father." She said, finishing hooking up two more wires. "All I have to do is press 'go.'" She smiled while pressing down on a button as a beam shot up into the sky.
"The beginning of the end." He said, looking up.
Hurry up heroes! Candi thought to herself, attempting to slip out of the room when an image of Mayhem's daughter appeared in front of her. "Candi, Candi, Candi. You've been a disobedient girl." Candi took a step back and bumped into Mayhem."And now, you'll be our best example." Her voice came from every corner of the room.
"So that's...not normal?" Max asked looking ahead at the beam shooting up from Mt Fuji.
"Yes Max. That is very much not normal." Damien said annoyed.
"I see Kyle with Colosso." Stella announced.
"Great, where are they?" Damien asked.
"Look out the window maybe." Simone told him. Damien told a look and saw the two of them down on the ground below by the van.
"Land here."
"Really? I thought I'd land back in town." Simone said sarcastically while she was landing the jet. Everyone stepped out onto the mountain.
"I'm afraid we don't have time to catch up or get to know you." Phoebe said to Colosso and Kyle. "Let's go everyone!" She yelled as they began to run up the mountain. Billy ran up ahead of the rest.
"I don't think so old man." Kyle said slowing down time to catch up with him. Billy's eyes shot open wide when he saw that someone was able to keep up with him.
"Are you-?"
"No time." Kyle interrupted, before firing a large blast of wind down the opening hallway. "Hall's clear!" He called back down to the rest.
"Not that we don't appreciate it, but there's only three people in there." Phoebe told him.
"Oh right," He said before heading inside.
The team moved quickly but carefully through the castle stepping over broken robot parts and fallen rubble all the way. Mayhem watched them on the cameras making their way to him. "Fire," He said as canons popped out of the walls and ceiling firing on the team.
"Why didn't they use these last time?" Max asked out loud.
"Just be grateful they didn't" Simone told him.
James looked over to see Billy being very careless about dodging the blasts. "Billy, watch out!"
"It's fine!" He called, just barley being grazed by a laser.
"That doesn't look fine!" Billy stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"Jamie, I'll be fine. You can heal me. I was dead for four days remember?"
"Billy, I don't know if I can-" He was interrupted by a laser blasted right at them and he pushed Billy out of the way a taking the blast himself.
"JAMES!" Kyle looked back worried and then looked at himself real quick.
I'm not disappearing. He thought. "He's gonna be fine," He said to in realization. "He's gonna be fine!" He shouted back to Billy.
"James, you're be ok. You heard the future kids. They'd know right? Why did you do that? You're supposed to be the smart one." He cried.
"Billy," He said weakly. "I don't know how to heal on command. What happened at your funeral was a total fluke. If I knew I could to that, why wouldn't I have had healed you before then? I couldn't let you get hurt and then hope I can fix it."
"I'm sorry, this is all my fault." Billy said crying while holding his boyfriend's hand.
"No, don't say that."
"It is though. I should've been careful."
"Billy, it's ok. It'll take alot more than that to kill me." James said with a weak laugh.
"Everyone go on ahead. Me and James will wait outside." Billy said picking James up and speeding back to the entrance.
"Let's keep going. Billy knows the van has an infirmary." Phoebe told everybody before they continued upstairs.
"Looks like we're in for a fight. Time to see how much you can truly stretch your powers." Mayhem told his daughter.
She smiled and concentrated.
"Phoebe," She stopped when she heard a voice ahead of her. Phoebe watched as Link walked down from the stairs, his clothes torn and his face half-burnt off. "Do not go up there."
I apologize for my lack of updates with this story, but there will only be one or two chapters of this left.
