Chapter 9
Moments later, Nocturne found himself leaping across the heads of the monsters with swords swinging in hand to hold them off, as Gunk rolled across the undyed rock ground as an amorphous green sphere. At the centre of his form was Mind Master, who himself was curled into a ball, safe and sound from any physical trauma the monsters could inflict barring any stray electric bolts. Weaving past the monsters as they attempted to swarm on their ever-agile vampiric distraction, the two smashed down the metal entry door with their momentum, and Mind Master leapt into the metal hall from within Gunk as he retook his standard form on all fours. With a two-fingered salute and smile, Mind Master bid his teammate farewell and ran down the entry hall in pursuit of Starbolt and Techsmith. Gunk, still holding the metal door in his hands as he turned, saw Nocturne using his sorcery in attempting to keep the monsters from scaling the crater to the Star Cruiser, where Red Cross maintained position with

Star Cruiser en-route to the Moon… "So the kid's on the moon?" Alderman asked somewhat disbelievingly, seeking confirmation from Techsmith. "That's our operating theory at the moment, yeah." She replied into the microphone beneath the translucent holographic screen before her showing Alderman's face as she sat in the cockpit of the spacefaring jet. "He's likely being held in the First Lunar Observatory, based on eyewitness description." "Which you got from the monster-fied Christos?" "Kind of. When Andrew entered his mind, he said his consciousness was buried under a mountain of mental suppressants and psychic blocks after he was transformed. Even after he overrode those mental barriers and put Simon's consciousness back at the wheel, the poor guy couldn't speak. Andrew had to listen to his thoughts and relay them back to us in fragments. Have you sent a transport to pick him up from the Olympus Institute yet?" "Yeah, ETA's 10 minutes. And you're sure he's not hostile?" "He was a

Doctor Anarchy's base…"-leaving you." Starbolt finished as he appeared in the middle of the dark room on a Spearhead Platform. He felt his mental connection to the others broken as he glanced around, trying to work out where he was. At the console in front of him on the far side of the room stood Doctor Anarchy, who was visibly displeased with the results of his extraction."I must admit, when I locked onto the Apollo's signal after AC-18 broke down the protective measures, I didn't expect to bring anything close to YOU back." Starbolt kept his cool, taking a cue from Mind Master and not immediately attacking."So you're the big bad, eh? And you would be?" The Doctor bowed with a jovial smile, his arms outspread."Doctor Anarchy." Starbolt succumbed to his initial impulse, firing an energy bolt with his free hand. Anarchy frantically ducked behind the console to dodge the blast, giggling in joy at how off-guard he had been. He pressed a button on his goggles, and the inside of his ey
Chapter 6
Denali, Alaska…The Crusaders materialised amidst the roaring winds, a few feet outside the massive dome of a facility. The expansive steel wall before them was torn down the middle, with an army of Sentry Drones viciously mutilated and slowly freezing in the cold air, their torn-up bodies strewn across the barren landscape within the bounds of the entrance. The tops of the walls were lined with defense turrets, which looked in no better condition than the Sentry Drones. As he overlooked the sight with a pit growing in his stomach, Starbolt tried to formulate a plan that would cover more bases than simply thwarting the monster. The energy generated by his cells instinctively got to work keeping his body warm in the cold air, while Mind Master had a telekinetic field redirecting the icy gusts and Nocturne and Techsmith's respective garbs covered their whole body and kept them warm. Gunk, and Red Cross in particular, were not so lucky; Red Cross immediately grabbed her exposed biceps an

"Well, uh…sure." She replied. "So, what do I talk about?""Anything you like. I'll maintain full attention." She hesitated for a moment, but chose to embrace the opportunity. It may never come again."Well, our first mission was a bust, wasn't it?""I suppose it was on the larger scale, but the monster was certainly stopped.""I, um, I heard you had a…experience out there." Gunk blinked for a moment, his mind registering the words as they came. "Lizzy told me last night. Sounded, uh…rough." Gunk too took a chance to express himself that didn't come about very often."It most certainly was. I didn't know I could be capable of an act such as that. And I didn't even mean to do it. I mean, I wanted to stop the monster…""But you didn't mean to beat its head into nothing with its own leg.""Right.""Well, at least you did something.""What do you mean? You helped the evacuation of the guests.""You could've done that. In fact, you did.""You healed Andrew.""But he was, like, taken by surp
Everything in its right Place
Everything in Its Right PlaceLos Angeles…The lights on the Spearhead Platform shot into the clouds hovering in the night sky, and the Crusaders materialised on the roof of their penthouse base. As they tiredly stumbled forward to the entry hatch, an awkward silence hung over them all, like a pitch-black storm cloud that would burst into a flood of torrential rain should anybody dare to break it. The team shuffled down the staircase and reached the locker room, with Techsmith taking special care to not disturb the monster's heart she carried in its portable containment unit in her hands like a briefcase. One by one, they made it into the room, their varied thoughts filling their heads and keeping their mouths shut.So is nobody going to address that phenomenal ass-kicking we just received?" Nocturne was the one to bring the rain. "Or does that responsibility fall to me once again?" Starbolt sighed, too tired to argue but unable to help himself."We managed.""No, Andrew and Gunk 'man
