ranks of
creatures before we make a move. They are coming right for us.”
She was right; the sky was dark with
creatures.
“I can fortify the area with ice,” she
suggests.
Dark Fire nods and we prepare a
makeshift castle of ice and dirt around the dog whistle. We each
assume a role, with mine being to watch the skies.
“I can see deathtowers, and more of those
spider towers as well,” says Dark Fire . “It’s going to be a
hectic battle.”
“My team are protecting the town, and those
moronic Bazooka Boys should be arriving soon for whatever
good they can do,” says Blizzard Master .
Waves of enemy break against our ice fort,
and I do my best to keep the skies clear. An octo-ape wraps its
arms around my neck but Never Lies takes it down with a
well-placed plasma bolt. Two deathtowers approach and Dark
Fire goes straight for one, burning right into it. Blizzard
Master swoops towards the second tower, but it knocks her out
of the air. She hits the ground hard and the tower looms over her.
I throw my body over her and feel the blows of heavy fire on my
back. It hurts, and I hope my shields can take it. The fire stops
and the tower falls over. A big piece hits me in the head and I
fall over.
“You okay, kid?” asks Never Lies ,
helping me to my feet.
“Sure,” I say, although I don’t feel
okay.
“ Dark Fire and I can take the bomb now
if the rest of your team stays here as a distraction,” says Blizzard Master.
“Set,” we all say in unison, and Blizzard and Dark Fire take off.
“Incoming,” warns Never Lies .
A set of enormous missiles bombard us,
smashing my shields and ripping Small Talk ’s new body apart.
One explodes next to Never Lies and flings her up into the
sky. My shields are down to 20% and Small Talk is almost
back to his natural suit, so I hate to think of how Never
Lies is.
“Follow her,” Small Talk orders.
I’m too slow to catch her so I fly high to
find her impact crater. Never Lies landed hard in the middle
of a suburban garden, burning through the smooth grass and rolling
through the rose garden. I’m not the first to find her: there are
four superheroes in flowing red cloaks standing beside her by the
time I reach her. I recognize them as members of the Bazooka
Boys , a male-only team known for its brash displays of
power.
“Look here, boys,” says one, “we were waiting
for the saucer and we find this instead. It’s one of them girl
supers. Help her up. And let’s get those dangerous toys away from
her.”
They pull Never Lies to her feet and
pull her gun platforms off of her, piling them to one side. She
tries to push them away, but I can tell she’s still a little groggy
from the huge hit she just took. I move to help her, but one of the Bazooka Boys grabs me. I catch Never Lies ’ eye and
she shakes her head slightly to say that now is not the time to
kick up a stink. Besides, the guy is a lot stronger than me and I
don’t even know if I can escape him.
“Come on, idiots, we don’t have time for
this. The saucer is coming,” Never Lies says.
“Nah, no sign of the monsters. It’s going to
pass us by, no problems.”
The dog whistle must have been far too
effective, and no monsters got as far as the Bazooka Boys .
They don’t seem smart enough to have figured out what is going on,
either.
One of the Bazooka Boys shoves Never Lies .
“And don’t call us idiots,” one of the idiots
says.
I struggle against my captor, but his grip is
like steel. Never Lies looks angrier than I’ve ever seen
her, but I can’t do anything to help her. She tries to fly way, but
they mob her and force her feet to the ground.
“So keen to leave? But we are having fun!”
yells one of the Boys .
“Yeah, it’s not often we meet a girl
superhero,” says another.
Never Lies punches one in the head,
knocking him back. That only seems to encourage the others.
“What kind of a superhero are you, punching
another super!” one calls.
“Treason!” agrees
