Unforseen Foes

(DR. ROBERTS LAB)

Hero, Miss Awesome, and Nesa were about to go meet Moza while Kyle, Ben and Dr. Roberts were to stay behind.

Dr. Roberts said as they were about to leave, “if it turns out that Nesa is deceiving you, what will you do?” 

Miss Awesome answered saying, “then we’ll beat them up together”. 

Kyle’s eyes was fixed on his phone and he seemed bothered,

  “something’s not right, why would my sister be leaving this city”. 

Mark replies saying, “I just spoke to her a while ago… she doesn't mention such”. 

Kyle gave his phone to Ben who connects it to the computer and it showed the map of Sunshine City and a red dot on the road that leads to leaving the city, Miss Awesome smirks and said, “wait… you put a tracker on your sister?”. 

  “Not exactly, but it’s for her safety, and she did it first, I also wanted to become a cop, she stopped me”, Kyle said.

Dr. Roberts added, “that’s like the speed of a car”. Hero picked up his phone and dialed her number but she wasn’t answering the call. 

  “Let’s meet Moza and deal with him… now”, Nesa urged, but Mark lashed back, “that’ll be after I know what’s happening, she would tell me if she was leaving for something important”

    “are you thinking what I’m thinking?” Ben asked, and Mary nodded, “except she’s been abducted by a criminal”.

(OUTSIDE SUNSHINE CITY)

It was a small wooden house close to a lake. And outside the house was the lady who took Bethany, she took off her cap revealing her blonde her. Bethany was tied to a wooden chair and her black hair now scattered. 

There were two others; a guy putting on a bodyguard kind of suit with black spectacles and the thief whom Kyle was chasing the other day; the latter being seated on a chair. He said,

  “I’m sure you don’t know why I wanted you here, but you should know why I sent her to get you… because you sent her to jail, now she can punish you”

He chortles, “But my reason is because you have a brother that didn’t mind his business when I stole something, he’s very much like you, he wants to save the day like his sister does, but I didn’t abduct him, cause you’re a cop, he isn’t… so I’m blaming you for his actions. My friend here must have told you my name…”

      “Phantom?”, Bethany asks

      “Yes, Phantom”, He confirmed.

Bethany asked again, “What will you do to me?”. 

The lady replies immediately, “I'll just teach you a few lessons and let you go… to the afterlife”. Bethany gulps, 

 “For the record, my name's Punisher now”

She created daggers out of her hand, and was about to poke Bethany when she was suddenly blown back by the wind which Miss Awesome controlled. Phantom also moved back as well, except the bodyguard who stood right there like he was staring at nothing.

Miss Awesome was mid-air with Hero, and they landed slowly. Miss Awesome recognized Phantom quickly, so she yelled, 

  “you… you’re that thief!”. Phantom replies saying, “And you’re not dead? You should be”. Hero shot heat vision at Phantom and he was thrown backwards while Miss Awesome went on to fight Punisher. 

They were fighting with their fists, but Punisher was making daggers and trying to slash Miss Awesome, who kept avoiding and stopping the attacks. 

Phantom tried to blast Hero with the green force but Hero ducked and sped at him to deliver a punch which sent him through the wooden house, breaking through it. Phantom was about to get up when Hero landed on him and was punching him with fire in his hands, then he shot heat vison at his chest causing Phantom to scream in pain.

Miss Awesome unties Bethany while Punisher was on the ground.

Punisher got up again and Miss Awesome controlled the wind to spin Punisher on a spot but Punisher threw two blades at Miss Awesome which slashed her arm. Punisher quickly rushed to the car and drove away. 

Hero got up from Phantom who was lying weak on the ground. Hero exhales and was walking away from Phantom when he saw the green force about to hit Bethany.

Miss Awesome yells, “NOOOOOO” slowly and dramatically as everything moved slowly.

Hero boosted towards Bethany and pushed her out of the way, while he got hit instead. Which sent him falling to the ground and immediately falling unconscious. 

The bodyguard was still standing there and then Nesa landed behind Phantom and knocked him out with a punch, then the bodyguard finally spoke, 

     “That was easy”. Miss Awesome who was already vexed was about to blow him away with wind when he disappeared into the thin air to their surprise.

(SUNSHINE CITY)

(DR. ROBERTS LAB)

That night, Mark was asleep on a bed while the others were also there; Mary, Kyle, Ben, Dr. Roberts, Bethany, and Nesa. Bethany was beside Mark and she said to herself,

    “So, Mark is Hero… Mary, you’re Miss Awesome, I knew your voice was familiar, but his own was totally different… he saved my life, again”. 

Kyle replies, “same way Mary saved my life from that same guy”. 

Nesa sighs and said, 

  “well, now we’ve gotten Phantom, so no one’s getting hit anymore”. 

Dr. Roberts stares at her and replied, “yes, but I still don’t trust you… yet. I’m going home now, goodnight everyone”

Inside a luxurious large house was a young man who had short hair; the one who was watching Mark and Bethany the other day; Johnny Tony.

He was in his house seated with some of his high ranking workers having a meeting when someone entered. 

Johnny was putting on a blue suit, and had a smile on his face, no beard, except a little shave. Someone came in, and that person was putting on a doctor’s coat, he said as he came in, “hello”.

 Johnny Tony replies saying, 

   “Oh, Dr. Elias, my man… everyone, this is Dr. Elias… one of the two doctors who are preparing for my glory in this city”

 One of the men asked, “What glory are you talking about?”.  Johnny Tony smiled and answered, 

   “Being the boss of this city, and also taking the life of an enemy of mine who is now… Hero. Dr. Elias here will help me become much more stronger and powerful, while the other doctor will help me weaken Hero from the inside, he’ll be here soon”.

(MARY’S HOUSE)

It was now morning and Mary was having breakfast alone as usual, she looked around and picked up her phone to message Ben saying, 

    “Morning, I’ll be there soon”. She stopped eating and as she turned, she saw the guy who dressed like a bouncer amongst the three who abducted Bethany the day before. 

He was putting on his spectacles as well, and black suit, she was startled, but was quick to maintain composure as she then yelled, 

   “Who the hell are you and how did you get in here?”

He replied slowly with a very cool voice and a smile on his face, “Wrong question… you know I can disappear… you think I don’t know who you are?... I do, you’re Miss Awesome and I can feel it, I can feel everything, and find anyone, I made Phantom act like the boss. I watched you all fight each other and I accumulated some amazing skills”. 

Mary shot back saying, “Since you know me, why are you here? Are you that courageous or stupid?”. He hums and answered,

   “I’m not stupid nor brave, I know I can leave at any time just as I appeared, I can disappear, but this is my gift for you”.

He removed his spectacle and shot heat vision from his eyes at her which threw her back to hit the wall and fell groaning. He puts on his spectacle again and said, “let’s just say… I can mimic all of your powers”. 

He disappeared immediately while Mary struggles to get up and part of her dress had gotten burnt already.

(DR. ROBERTS LAB)

Mark was awake and with him were Kyle, Ben, and Nesa. Mary came in putting on a different outfit now, and said as she saw Mark, 

   “Oh, you’re awake, that’s good”, she was breathing heavily, so Ben asked, “What’s wrong?”. 

Mary sighs and replied, “you know Nesa helped us catch Phantom, while Punisher escaped and the third guy disappeared, well… I was attacked by the third guy, he copied all our powers, by all, I mean Mark, Phantom, Punisher and myself, so we have to stop him”. 

Nesa asked “What about the Moza problem?”. 

Ben scoffs and said, “Hey, we have an urgent situation and you’re talking about Moza? Why don’t you go fight him alone, since he hasn’t showed up for a fight then this one’s more urgent”

   “I don’t know what to say”, Kyle said, Mark got up and said, “Let’s go find Punisher and that other guy”. 

    “Okay, and we have to be careful” said Mary.

Mark took an injection from Dr. Robert’s briefcase and injected himself then after few seconds, he shakes his head and said,

   “Oh yeah, I’m actually feeling stronger”. Nesa smiles and replied, “I hope Moza doesn’t abduct your girlfriend too”. 

She left the laboratory while Mary said to Kyle, “Keep a check on Beth’s location, if anything seems wrong, tell us immediately”. Kyle nodded saying, “sure”

Moza was at a river bank standing and staring at the river, then he heard a voice from behind, 

   “Hey! You knew I was gonna tell them, right?”. 

Moza turned back to see Nesa and he replies, “Yes, I never trusted you, and I’ll take this chance to kill you”. He shot fireballs from his hand at her, but she jumped to perform a side-flip and dodged the attack, Moza grins and said, “Since you know I’m gonna destroy you, why did you come here?”. 

    “Cause I’m very angry, and I don’t care if I die fighting”, she said, while he then replied calmly, “I’m not that cruel, I won’t kill you yet, I’ll kill those you believe in one by one right before your eyes, then you’ll be the last… after your family”. 

Moza left flying as breeze blew dust off the ground, while Nesa watched him as he left, she said silently, “Sparing me now will be your greatest mistake”

(NEW CITY)

It was a bright day and movements of people and vehicles was fine. Alice and Michael were walking together on the roadside and both were in the middle of a conversation. Alice couldn’t stop smiling while he was speaking.

 They stopped walking in a crowded place and he held her hands and said, “Alice, will you give me chance to prove to you that I…”. 

Before he could finish his statement, Alice was hit and thrust backwards with Ice frost which was shot at her by Devil Girl/Bella

Devil girl was mid-air, and everyone had began to run around while Michael rushed towards Alice who was still on the ground.

Bella lands slowly and made an ice cage to cover both of them, so they can be cold, then she left immediately

A journalist was speaking on a TV station saying, 

   “Devil Girl has gone rogue just earlier today, and we don’t have any idea where Amazing Girl is. The people around who saw what she did today claims she must be a devil for real, cause she wouldn’t call herself devil if she wasn’t a person with evil intentions, now she’s shown her true motives, people fear Amazing Girl might do the same as well”.

Alice, Annie, Michael, Danny and Mr. Mark were watching the news while Michael was shaking as he was drinking a hot tea. Annie asked, 

     “Why would Bella attack you?”. Danny added “yeah, that’s right… why did she turn evil suddenly?”. Alice exhales and replied, “I hate to say this but, maybe she was visited by the same person who came to you” she looked at Annie while Annie replied “No I don’t think so”

Alice got up saying “I’m going to her house right now” 

Mr. Mark replies, “no, she could kill you”. 

    “She can’t,”, Alice yelled back, “I’m much stronger, faster and even powerful than her”. 

Danny replied, “She’s gonna persuade you not to fight her”. Annie added “But she can’t persuade me, so just let me follow you”.

Alice stared at Annie and yelled angrily, “No! whatever is going on, it’s being done by someone who wants me to feel pain by controlling the minds of people around me”. 

She stormed out and Annie said to the others, “I’m gonna follow her”.

(BELLA’S HOUSE)

Bella was seated on a chair staring at the door like she was waiting for someone, then Alice opened the door without knocking, she came in dressed as Amazing Girl, asking on her entrance,

   “Why did you attack me today?” Bella simply answered,

   “Because I wanna avenge my mother, your parents murdered my mom and I’ll avenge her”. 

She shot sharp ice balls at her which hits Amazing Girl and throws her backwards. 

  “My parents are not murderers. You’re making a huge mistake!”, Amazing Girl yelled back.

Amazing Girl screamed at Bella who quickly blocked with a shield made of ice and it was shattered, Bella jumps at her and kicked Amazing Girl on her face, then tries to stab her with a ice spear but Amazing Girl broke the ice with her hands and punched Bella while her hands were covered in the amazing force. 

Bella was sent backwards hitting her back on the wall which cracks, and also fell to the ground, but she stood up immediately and began to make sharp ice spears which surrounds Amazing Girl.

 The spears almost hit Amazing Girl when she moved really fast and slides below them to kick Bella’s leg so she could fall, but Bella didn’t fall, she froze Amazing Girl’s legs with ice to the ground but Amazing Girl broke through it and screamed at Bella again who was thrown backwards and she hit her back against a table.

Amazing Girl yelled, “My parents do not kill, they save lives, so who told you such a thing that made you believe?”

 Bella grunts as she replied “My father, he’s a living witness, he saw everything, but he was helpless, he couldn’t do a thing though he had powers”. 

Amazing Girl asked angrily delivering punches, “Who’s your father?” 

  “WIZARD SHAN!”, Bella screams back, and Alice was so shocked that she stopped and tears was about to roll down her cheek, she gasped and said, 

   “Shan… the man who murdered my father, mother, his owns' wife, my brother and many more people so he could be more powerful? I watched him kill his wife, my father and my mom, and I’m determined to kill him, so he’s your father?”

Bella replied, “He didn’t kill your parents, nor my mom, I agree that he does bad things but he can’t do that”.

 Alice replies, “Why don’t you ask him, if he’s your father truly then… you’re my…”.

 Bella cuts in, “Enemy… if your parents killed my mom, but if he killed my mother, I will rip him apart and I won’t think twice”.

Wizard Shan appears suddenly, holding a staff and they were startled, 

   “Now you know everything, Bella you’re too weak to be my daughter,” he said, “you can’t live forever, so I’ll just kill you all so I can live longer, and longer and longer… forever”. 

He bursts into a wicked laughter and Bella replied, “You will die trying, I never liked you, now you’ve made me hate you even more and we will kill you together”. 

   “… this is for all those you murdered”, Alice said, and stretched forth her hand as she sent a ball of amazing force energy which hits him, and sent him breaking through a wall inside the house. Amazing Girl was about to blast him again, but he quickly disappears.

(MR. MARK EDDIE’S HOUSE)

It was dark already and everyone was silent. Bella held Michael’s hands and absorbed the cold from his body and he was normal again, He said immediately, “Oh wow, that’s cool”. 

Alice replied, “Now, I have to avenge my father”. They all stared at her together, while Annie added, “we’ll do it together, with Bella too”. Bella nodded while Danny asked, “So everything’s settled now?”. 

    “Well, yes. We just have to take down that monster”, said Bella.

   “and I guess you’ll need a lot of preparation, try not to get too angry”, Mr. Mark added.

Michael also spoke, “Correct, just be focused”.

 Alice looked up at them and said, “And there’s no wasting of time, he won’t live forever, he’ll beg us to spare him…”. 

   “… and we won’t”, Bella concluded.

(NEW CITY)

(MUSEUM)

It was late at night and a young man dressed In a long navy blue coat; also putting on a hat, was approaching. 

He was already inside the museum compound, while the gate keepers were nowhere to be found, he had a pistol in his hand, and a walking stick in his other hand; medium in size. He enters the museum by phasing through the door; he was in his early 30s and was a British, he approached a glass box in which a book with a golden front and back cover was inside, he was about to phase his hand through when he heard a voice from behind, 

   “You wouldn’t wanna do that”, He turned back and saw Amazing Girl with Devil Girl standing before him, he exhales sharply and replied, “I will leave this place without a bruise, wanna bet?”. Devil Girl said, “No, you won’t… you’re busted”. 

Amazing Girl boosted forward to his front and cuffed him then she said, “You failed young man” He replied saying, 

     “I’m not an enemy, and I’m here to help… but, for now, good night and sweet dreams…”. His eyes turned yellow and back to normal then her eyes turned yellow too, and she fell unconscious immediately. Devil Girl didn’t know what happened and she was surprised, the guy phased through the handcuff and took the book as well, Devil Girl tried to shoot ice balls at him but he disappeared while the ice balls hit the glass and shattered it instead.
