Finally making it to Barrymore's Manor, the limo was greeted by two bodyguards coming out of the manor. One of them politely opened the door, and the second guard helped the two out of the limo to enjoy the fresh Michigan air. "Hello gentlemen." Said Barrymore as he fot out, looking confident as usual.
"Sir, we take it you found your new ally."
"Well, FYI, that's 'Solar Flare' to you." Said he with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, this is my new cohort." Said Christopher. "And forgive his... elite attitude. For he can think he is better than everyone else."
"Oh i don't think." said the light-themed villain boastfully, "I know i am better than everyone else. Except for you, Mr. Barrymore, since you are so filthy-stinking rich. You are definitely one pf the greatest human beings on the face of the Earth."
Barrymore rolled his eyes, and said: "well, come on in." He motioned his hand to the entrance of his mansion. "Try not to break anything or make... too big of a mess. My maids just cleaned rhe whole place a few hours ago."
"Oh of course, sir." Solar Flare nodded his head rapidly with a nervous smile. He followed his new superior inside the mansion, ans was impressed by how fancy it looked. The fancy paintings, the counters with fancy platters on top of them, and one of the counters had a medieval sword on it, locked away safely in a glass display case to keep it from being touched or destroyed. It is an antique sword after all, and even the slightest mishandling of it can make it fall apart.
Most of the paintings on the walls were portraits of bis deceased ancestors looking regal and mighty over the centuries.
There were also a line of large armored suits that came from the medieval times as well. Some holding spears in ine hand, and others has battle axes in one hand. The more Solar Flare looked at these fancy decorations, the more fascinated he was in this fancy mansion. "Ooh, i really moce this kind of abode. I bet everyone wishes they were as rich as you."
"Indeed. That is every lowerclass citizen's dream. Have all the money in the world and not worry about anything in the world. But, alas, they fail to understand that: more money would equal more problems."
"I hear that many times before." Solar Foate rolled his eyes. "But i thought it was just a way for managers to keep their employees under their control."
"I'm afraid it's too. Too much money can cause inflation. For instance, in the African country of Zimbabwe, countless people counterfeit money with money printing machines, and in no time, it created a wave if hyperinflation on what used to be the "Basket of Africa." As Zimbabwe was once called a long time ago."
"Interesting." Said Solar Flare
"And of course, too much money is what casued the stock market to crash, and cause the dreadful Great Depression, long before we were both born. If there was a lot more money for people to go around, then the value of money would decrease, and eventually become worthless."
"Well i doubt money is worthless right now. And i also doubt another Great Depression will happen any time soon. So you can really help me get revenge on those heroes?"
"Of course, my light-bearing friend." Barrymore gave an unctuous smile at the light villain. "If I didn't want to help you, i would have just left you in the woods to be eaten by bears or wolves, whichever comes first."
"Good point." At last when the four men made it to the master room of this mansion, there was Snow Flaker freezing dummies that made up of Volcano Girl and Laser Boy, even starting to sweat from how long he was practicing with his ice powers.
"Snow Flaker, meet your new friend. Solar Flare."
the ice-themed villain smiled as he looked at the four men, snd walked up to them. "How are you not hot with that jacket on you, per se?" Asked Flare
"Because of all the ice stores up in me, silly." Snow Flaker chuckled.
"Ah."
"Now, Solar Flare, i would like you and Snow Flaker to get better acquainted with one another, just in case one of you need any help, and the other can aud you against the heroes, or any law enforcement that stands in your way." Barrymore instructed the two villains
"Well... I prefer to work alone, but after what happened lasy time i have dealt with those losers, i might use some extra help against them just in case. Those heathens bave meased with the wrong kind if person."
"I heard that you're trying to make the world a better place." Snow Flaker pointed.
"Yes, what about it?"
"Maybe i can help you create a kingdom made out of icicles from this city."
"That's very mind of you," said Solar Flare, "but icicles are not really my taste. I just want to kill those so-called heroes so that they will not stand in my way."
"Of course. Understandable."
"Well tomorrow, you can get the perfect opportunity for revenge, Solar Flare. Go out into the city and do some more of your... renovating, and feel free to take care of anyone that stands in your way."
"But what about me?" asked Snow Flaker
"Don't worry," Barrymore chuckled. "You too will have your chance of revenge against those heroes. But it would be better if you do it one step at a time so they do not place both of you to prison."
"Good point." said Snow Flaker.
Meanwhile, Lori, Lincoln, and Farkle were having a good talk together on the Loud couch. Farley was playing with Charles as they were bonding as if they were friends at birth or litter mates.
Though that didn't stop Farley's excessive drooling a little. But, alas, that was the kind of life that a Bernese mountain dog would have in their lifetime.
"So when we see Snow Flaker, or Solar Flare, do you think they will be working together in causing some mayhem?" Asked Farkle
"I honestly hope not, because that can literally be a big problem." Lori rolled her eyes. "We may be three against two, but those guys are dangerous."
"oh aye. Considering the fact that Solar Flare put up a fight before, and how sneaky and cunning Snow Flaker can be."
"At least we got tye mayor and the police on our side if needed." Said Lincoln.
"Very good point, little bro." Lori smiled "or we can make Farley a superhero." They all looked at Void's dog, who looked at them all after hearing his name, panting and gave a low bark to them, making the three laugh.
"Sure. A dog with super powers who can fly and help a regular superhero fight crime." Void smiled. "Very unlikely to happen, but hey, anything cna be possible." Then he got off the couch. "I got to get home for dinner. I'll be seeing you guys tomorrow."
Then the dark-themed hero felt someone cling onto him with a hug. "Aww, must you go now?" Said a monotonous voice. It was Lucy, who still had a big crush on Farkle for his powers and good looks. "I can make you a monster cake for dessert."
"Ooh, that does sound yummy." Said Farkle. "But sorry, Lucy. I really have to go back home. Come on, Farley." His trusted dog went over to him and followed him while still panting
Lucy was sad that her new crush had to go, and said: "sigh. Goodbye, my sweet prince," as she bowed her head in sadness.
"I thought you loved Edwin, Lucy?" Asked Lincoln
"Of course I love Edwin, Lincoln." Lucy replied "but, Edwin is only a fictional character. You know."
"Right. That makes sense." said Lori while rolling yer eyes.
