Chapter 21: OK Let's Go

Lakewood Plaza was a shopping center for heroes; literally, it sold to superheroes.

The teenaged Enid sat behind the counter as she messed around with her phone. The store was pretty quiet, Rad was in the shelves stocking, and KO was mopping the floor.

Enid smiled to herself, she wouldn't tell them, but she liked it when things were like this. Part of her wanted this to last forever.

A wave of sickness washed over her; she was a ninja, but she started as a witch, and she felt something happen. Her mind was pulled away from this as she heard glass shatter.

Enid walked over to the shelves where Rad was supposed to be stocking. "Did you drop something?"

Enid was confused; Rad was an alien with a finger beam that let him levitate things. She found a broken jar of pickles on the floor but didn't see Rad.

"Must be goofing off," Enid sighed, "Hey KO bring over the broom." Enid was surprised; she assumed KO would have rushed to her side before she even finished talking.

"KO?" Enid looked for KO but only found a mop on the floor with a small pile of dust.

"Come on, Fink," Professor Venomous told his rat-like minion, "You know you have to practice your scales. You can't just play video games all the time. How about this? You finish your scales, and I'll buy you that new game you've been wanting."

Fink smiled and cracked her knuckles.

Music started to fill the room; Venomous looked out the window. He'd screwed up a lot of stuff in his life and was working on fixing it, but he was glad that things were good with Fink.

Music played until it suddenly stopped.

"Fink," He called out, "You can't just quit in the middle of it."

The purple mad scientist looked around confused; he didn't see any sign of Fink. "Have you been practicing your stealth, I must say it's a marked improvement. Still, you need to finish your scales if you want that game." He looked around, still not seeing any sign of her, "Fink? Fink?"

A car crashed outside, and he looked through the window once more, seeing a few more cars crash into each other. A bird passed by his window only to crumble into dust.

"Daddy!" Darrell, a red robot, ran through the halls.

Sharon and Raymond, Darrell's robotic siblings, ran behind him.

They burst the doors open to Lord Boxman's office,

"Dad!" Sharon yelled.

"Father!" Raymond called out.

Darrell placed his hands on their faces, "Something is happening! Those Plaza jerks are just…." His eyes went wide as in Boxman's chair was a swirl of ash, "…dust."

Elodie was struggling with the controls of the POINT Prep Jet; she could barely react in time when the pilot vanished. She heard screams from some of the other crew members as others disappeared. Elodie couldn't worry about it right now; she just had to make sure they landed safely.

Suddenly the jet slowed down. Someone had caught the jet in mid-air and was helping them down.

"I got you," A voice called out, as they landed, Elodie jumped out, "Mister Gar?"

A muscled man with a mustache and sunglass was settling the jet down. "What's going on?" She pulled out her communicator alerting about these events happening all over.

"Elodie?"

Elodie looked up as the Plaza she found herself in was going into chaos as people all around them started to vanish.

"Carol?" Gar let out as his own form dissolved.

Elodie noticed a woman in blue at a distance looking to where Gar once stood.

"Come on Red," Enid told Red Action as she filled with her device, "You're from the future you have to know something about this. Let's forget about paradoxes of spoilers or anything and tell me what's happening."

Red huffed, "I wish I did, trust me. I would know if history said half of everyone just turned to dust one day. I really would have remembered that. I don't know anything about this."

"Enid?" Elodie walked into the store.

"Elo-"She couldn't even finish as her sometimes rivals, and sometimes friend hugged her. "Yeah, I'm glad your safe too."

"Got it!" Red said, getting her device to work, "I've been trying to get someone from the future to answer, and nothings working, so let's just go to them."

Red threw out a device and a gate formed, but all they saw was static before the machine shorted out and broke down.

"What was that?" Enid asked.

Red was quiet before she found her words, "I don't know, that should be possible. I did everything right. If it can't lock on, it has to mean that the future doesn't exist. My future…"

The store grew quiet.

Venomous knocked on the door, "Come on,"

He had made calls all over once he realized the spread of this, he didn't find out who did it, but Cosma did confirm this was happening on every planet they could contact.

He tried to call someone else but didn't get an answer. He pulled out a small device from his pocket that he used to unlock the door quickly.

"Carol? KO?"

He walked into the living room to find Carol sitting on the couch, not moving or speaking.

"Carol? Sparks?" He tried to stir her attention.

He used to be a hero; he used to be her partner in every sense, and KO was their son. He had to see at least if they ….

"Are you okay?"

"…" She stared blankly before she turned to him, her eyes filled with tears, "They're gone. I saw Gar just… and- and"

"And?" Venomous tried to pry an answer from her.

"KO is gone…"

Venomous felt all strength leave his legs, and he fell into the chair couch next to her, "…Fink and Boxman are gone too."

They were both silent, what was there to say? Their children, their loves, and countless more were gone. They were there alone with themselves and their grief.

Author's Notes: Okay, so wrote this a while ago just barely getting to fixing it a bit and posting. I wanted to wait for the series to come to an end before everything. Like if someone died, I wanted to have that in here. Anyway, I hope you guys liked it, I liked the series so I wanted to kill half the character.

Something might be wrong with me.

Anyway, let me know what you think. I was trying somethings. With the first one with Enid not noticing the dusting happening right away. I liked the suspense and the fear of not knowing whats happening to your loved ones.

Now to the Q&A

omega5342: Infinite! No, 17. 9 written and others planned. Though some will be fairly short so it's not huge. I will try to have these worlds all wrecked by the end of the month but I got stuff in my life so there could be delays.

Okay, leave reviews or questions and tell me what you guys think.
