Sasha's POV
I blinked over at my friend, "excuse me, you want me to do what?" I hissed over at her.
We were still in this fucking box, now somewhere in the basement parking garage of Doom's office building.
That blue bitch was going to have a field day when he realized where we were.
Katrina blinked over at me with those huge brown eyes of her, that had somehow made one of the craziest sons of bitches on this planet kneel to her. "I'm going to open a portal, that .... should technically take you right to Raymond, you just have to jump him over the line" she stated.
I blinked at her ass again.
"That 'line' is a portal in and of itself created by Cirron's crazy ass, I'm not that powerful, it won't work" I hissed back at her.
If her whole plan fell on me being able to do that jump, then we were fucked five times from Tuesday.
She nodded, "you're right, which is why Trina is going with you" she sighed.
There was a quiet pause, as Trina stopped moving completely from beneath me, "what?" she asked.
Katrina sighed heavily like our questions were killing her, "I'm going to portal both of you into Raymond's land, right on the boarder. Trina with your laser vision, you should be able to slightly disrupt Cirron's field that keeps Raymond in, you'll only have a few seconds, but Sash that's when you jump him out. You have to jump him, just him walking over the line, even with Trina could backfire" she finished, looking over at me.
I tensed at the plan.
Raymond was a wild card, and besides that, leaving Katrina to Cirron all alone with her close to useless grandmother was sitting so horribly with me.
It made me want to cry.
I should really pee on a stick soon.
I quickly grabbed Katrina's hand, looking her dead in the eyes, "we all have to come out of this, alive, okay?" I said looking hard at her.
Her own eyes started to tear up as she sniffed hard.
Oh, fucking great, "don't start with that bullshit, Kat" I snapped at her as her eyes continued to line with fucking tears making my damn throat close up.
She nodded harshly, "sorry, I don't know what's wrong, fuck I feel sick" she chuckled hoarsely.
Tell me a-fucking-bout it.
I nodded, "okay, I'm ready" I nodded over at her, as Kat's eyes slowly started to glow that startling white that Doom's could. "You ready Trina?" I yelled down through the box.
"Of course, be careful Kat!" Trina replied back, her voice soft, before the world slowly dissolves around us.
I blinked once, twice, and then I was standing perfectly still right on the edge of some sandy dun.
I looked to my left to see Trina, completely calm as she looked around, before pausing, "is that-"
"How the hell did you two get here?" Bonnie's loud ass voice shattered my ear drum as she, Aria, Cha and Carter struggled up from behind her.
"Katrina sent us" Trina shrugged in response, right as a strong gust of wind nearly shoved us all face first and ass second to the ground.
Not a second later a livid Vapor dropped to the ground.
Cha slowly hid behind Carter.
"What in the hell are you all doing here?" he seethed, his usually calm and laid-back demeanor completely gone as his grey eyes twirled like tornadoes.
I sighed with an eye roll, "keep calm, last air bender, we are here to meet someone. I'm tired of you douche bags always trying to bench us, damnit" I snapped over at him, as his eyes glared me down, before turning towards Carter.
All it took was a jerk of the chin that had Carter laid out like a bitch, face first in the hot sand, leaving a cowering Cha with no hiding spot.
I have to give the bitch credit though.
She stood up straight, chin held high, and stared back at Vapor's pissed form with grace, "funny seeing you here" she choked.
And I take it all back.
Vapor visibly looked like he was going to leap across a good ten feet of sand and physically choke Cha out.
Aria spoke up breaking the homicidal train of thought out of Vapor, "are you here for Raymond too?" she asked.
If possible, Vapor looked even more pissed off, "you're here for Raymond?" he growled, turning back to beam a glare into Cha's forehead.
She had the smarts to actually look away that time.
I looked at Vapor confused though, "if you aren't here for Raymond, then who the fuck- "
I was cut off but the sound of wings beating against the air, forcing all of us to look up at once.
And then scream at once.
Carter, the little bitch that he is, did a dead tuck and roll, shoved Bonnie out of his way, before diving behind a sand dune.
The pure strength of the wings, the size of damned trees, beating against the air had Trina and I flailing backwards into the sand, giving us the perfectly terrifying image of a large ass ... dragon?! Nearly about to kill us all.
Bonnie screamed first.
Aria, the science geek, was staring up at the thing like she had just discovered bread.
Cha was now clutching onto Vapor like her life depended on it.
Trina was gaping in absolute surprise.
And I was currently trying me damnedest not to pee myself ... more than I have already.
I watch Game of Thrones, I know what those bitches do.
"Everyone calm down" Vapor shouted over the combined screeching of Carter and Bonnie.
My head swiveled as the giant monster landed on the sand beside Vapor, looking down at the rest of us, scrutinizing.
My jaw dropped as Vapor sighed like everything was normal, right now, "calm down? Calm down?! Who are you Khalesii?" I screeched at his face.
"Relax purple haired one, I mean not to devour you, yet" the monster said smoothly, with perfect fucking human pronucation.
Oh my shit.
My eyes widened along with everyone else as we stared unmoving at the huge red dragon.
Bonnie just passed the fuck out.
Cha was gaping, her mouth opening and closing like she was absolutely astounded.
And Aria was slowly creeping closer like she wanted to touch the damn thing.
My life.
"Vapor" I choked, "dude, what the fuck?" I cried out, still sitting on my ass looking up at the thing.
"I am Tracor, of the fiery Isle of the Fire Cings" the dragon purred.
Cha stumbled forwards along with a hypnotized Aria, "absolutely beautiful" Cha whispered out looking star struck.
It had the nerve to puff out its chest.
"What is it doing here?" Carter asked looking just as blown away as the majority of us.
It's large eyes turned towards Carter with disgusts, "the one who is made of voltage and hatred called for me. As well as this air breather, who helped me escape" it stated proudly.
Blue fucking Doom.
"What the hell?" A new voice rasped, forcing all of us to turn around to find a haggard looking Raymond.
His hair was in a messy bun on the top of his head, and his pale face was covered in bruises, yet his clothes were still emmaculately pressed and clean.
His eyes never wavered from Cha, who was standing there staring at him with emotions flitting all over her face.
Vap looked pissed.
I quickly stood to my feet and dragged Trina along with her.
We'd wasted more than enough time.
"We don't have time for this shit anymore, Dragon Tales, you and Vap need to get airbourne and start heading for Doom's building, now" I snapped.
The beast tilted its head down at me, "I cannot leave the boarders until the shimmery elf has" it snapped, glaring over at Raymond who tore his eyes away from Cha long enough to glare at Tracor.
"I am no elf, beast" Raymond snapped, still looking dignified even though his face looked like he'd been stomped a few times.
"I will eat you one day, you shiny haired wizard, feast on your bones as you scream" it snapped back.
I groaned, my annoyance hitting an all new high, "we don't have time for this! We need to get to Cirron, once we all kill him then you two can have at it, but until then Dragon Tales, tuck your tail in and ball up, we've got shit to do. Now, Raymond, once Trina disrupts the barrier you and I are going to have a few second to jump through. We fail, you're probably going to die, and this will have been a fucking waste of a trip, feel me?" I snapped over at the wide eyed man who nodded dumbly.
"Now everyone fucking move! Trina" I looked over at my friend who's eyes were slowly starting to burn a strange color of yellow, she nodded at me once before turning and releasing a huge pulse of laser energy at the wall.
Here we go.
Pony's POV
Here we go.
I sighed in pure agony and pain as I watched Daniel Strap aka Star Man pace in front of me for the millionth time in his pent house.
Riley was sitting on the seat in front of him, her eyes watching him in the strange way that Doom sometimes watched Katya, and then next to her was Carson aka 'Evil Ass Mermaid', Katrina's name not mine, who was watching Riley just as intently.
So, for me, I had the great honor of watching this creep fest in front of me, not only made up of heroes, but a seriously disgusting love triangle as well.
"And you said Katrina sent you?" Daniel barked over at me.
Where was the nearest wall that I could bash my forehead into?
I nodded quietly, even though I was dying to scream at him that for the millionth time, yes, Katrina had sent me to get you batch of idiots.
But I needed them on my side.
I didn't want to fail Kat, not when she'd done so much for me.
Even though we started off rocky ... like glass lamp to the back of the head rocky, I owed her so much.
I loved Blue Doom, in every sense of the word he was my Father ... abet a bit abusive verbally and mentally ... and physically, that man had taken care of me better than anyone else in this world had.
He had stitched me together after that car accident, quite literally as well.
He had made me whole, and it killed me that he had done that for me, but I hadn't been able to do that for him.
Not the way that Katrina Justice had been able to.
She had not only made him happy, but also me.
She made me happy, because she made the man who had taught me everything, happy.
I owed her everything.
Truly.
I doubt she even realized how much she had changed my life, Doom and I's lives.
Even now, I give her the full credit of completely making my body whole, which would have never happened had I never met her.
After Blue stitched me up, I stopped growing really, my body was pretty much stuck in a 7 year olds form, my mind was foggy.
I understood basic things, like most seven year olds, and I exceled in the things that Blue taught me, like science and math, but socially some things didn't make sense.
Like a part of my mind was warped.
At the time I didn't understand why saying Diana's name in front of Katrina when she first arrived was so bad or made Doom so angry. And I couldn't truly figure out what he and Diana were doing together that had made Kat so angry.
But now it was a crystal clear picture and all I really wanted to do was puke whenever I even thought of it.
My brain was rapidly twisting and learning and reviewing new and old information at an unbelievable pace, while also my body had grown at the same rate.
I had gone from looking like a 7 year old, to looking 15, even though I was only 13.
I blinked back into the moment as Daniel and Carson started to yell at one another.
"I'm not helping her, especially after she sicked her psycho boyfriend on us. That asshole drugged us" Carson hissed.
Sounds exactly like Doom.
Riley sighed, looking back over at me, "what exactly does Katrina want us to do?" she asked.
I blinked, "help kill Cirron ... for the millionth time now", was there something in the water here? They couldn't possibly be that stupid.
They all narrowed their eyes down at me, like I had spit on a child.
"You mean capture?" Carson asked slowly, as I turned at the sound of my phone chiming with an alert, hopefully anything more useful than this bullshit.
I looked down at my phone, "no, pretty sure they're going for six feet in the ground, dead" I said not bothering to look at them as I replied.
The message on my phone had my head tilting in confusion however.
A while ago, Blue had sent me some letters he had uncovered from Cirron to Raymond.
I had been able to construct a program that was suppose to be able to translate the coded letters, it had just taken a shit ton of time.
That however wasn't what was causing my head to tilt in confusion.
It was the documents themselves.
The resembled scientific data more than anything.
With the leading scientist as ... Corey.
I went rigid as I quickly read the contents, something inside me dropping in pure fear as I read what the papers were stating.
Corey had not only betrayed us ... but he had perfected apart of his experiments.
He had been able to transfer multiple Super's powers into a single host.
"Oh shit" I hissed as I leaned forwards, not even listening to the trio in front of me.
"We cannot help them kill the leader of our society! Are you crazy?!" Riley's shrill voice sliced through my concentration.
"If what he did is true, then he needs to be put down. End of discussion" Carson sighed gripping the front of his head, "even if it makes me sick to agree with those monsters" he spit out.
"We don't kill. It's not our job to be jury and executioner, we capture and them allow for a fair trial. That's what separates us from animals, you know that Carson!" Riley hissed.
Carson grabbed her hand suddenly, seeming to shock her into silence, "we all know Cirron, what he does and what he is capable of doing. We've heard the rumors, and I've had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting him face to face. No villain, no monster is as vicious as he is. Trust me. Taking him out is the smartest thing Doom or hell even Katrina has ever come up with. Trust me Rie, you don't ever want to meet him face to face, I don't ever want you to meet him face to face" he finished, something dark crossing over his face.
"He's right" I choke out, finally looking up from my phone.
We are all so screwed.
"What is it?" Carson asked, his face hard, slipping into his hero persona.
I gulped, "you know how when everything went down with Lee, we thought it was over?" I question them, as they nod. "It isn't. It is far from over" I choke out, as fear rushed over me.
How in the hell were Kat and Doom going so survive this?
"What is it?" Riley asks quietly, tugging me out of my own worry.
"You know that Corey designed that serum, right?" I looked at them.
Carson nods, concentration pulled across his face, "yes, Corey designed the serum, it was stolen by the shadow. He was able to warp it in order to design those .... Things that found and attacked Supers in the city. Destroyed Dun Inc. headquarters" he quickly rattles off.
Riley and Daniel look at him shocked, obviously not knowing the complete story.
"That was the beginning, a test of sorts" I sigh. "When you guys went to Raymond's, Kat and Doom was able to steal some paper work from Cirron himself that I just got the results back on. That whole fiasco was a test. To see how powerful the serum actual is, to figure out how they could use it, warp it. A small step in a major production" I finish looking them all in the eye.
Carson looks sick, "he wasn't really trying to kill every Super, was he? He just wanted to know that it could be done, for a later step" he swallowed, the pictures falling into place, just as quickly as they are for me.
I nod, "he- Cirron was able to separate Super's from their powers and then take them on himself, killing them in the process. That's how he creates different planes and pulls from different dimensions. That's a power he stole, and from the paperwork I have, it isn't the only one he has" I swallow, feeling like a brick was stuck in my throat.
Screwed.
Completely and totally screwed.
Carson tenses, but Riley and Daniel still look utterly confused, "how did you know that?" Daniel questions Carson.
"I asked. I've been paying attention! Damnit Daniel, think! A super villain dove at neck breaking speed to save some random girl from dying off a building. Robots attacked Supers in central city! You mean to tell me that you truly believed Lee Don was behind all that chaos and bullshit?! I despise Katrina, everyone knows it, but she had answers, which is why she sent him here now. She told me there would be a huge battle coming, and she told me which side we need to be on" Carson growled up at his friend.
Daniel looked like he'd just been slapped.
Riley looked no better.
"You went behind my back and spoke to Kat-, "Daniel started, fully removing any last tread of patience I had left.
"Listen, Kat sent me here because she needs help. We all need help. Cirron has lost it, and he plans on killing everyone. All Supers. Even without his followers he'd be a bitch to put down, and Kat knows that. I get you have your strange little obsession over her, or whatever, but right now she needs you guys. We don't have much time, and as much confidence as I have in her, she won't last long against Cirron, not alone. Are you in or are you out?" I finished looking each of them straight on.
There was a heavy pause as my words rushed between us.
Carson stood first, "I'm in. I gave Katrina my word I'd help when she needed it, no matter how much I would love to choke her to death" he finished.
"There's a line for that" I muttered, looking towards the other two.
I could see it on Riley's face, she would only fight if Daniel fought as well.
I turned to him, finally.
"We won't kill him, we will capture him. We'll help" he finished gravely.
I probably should have told him there was a better chance of Blue Doom joining a church choir, than Cirron making it past this day with his spine still intact, but who am I to ruin someone else's dreams.
I peaked over at Carson, who was staring at me, obviously waiting for me to announce that Doom had plans to embed his size 15 shoe into Cirron's eye socket until he saw brain matter.
Tell the truth .... Or get these dumbasses to the meeting point like Kat asked?
Is there really any choice?
I smiled, "thank you, now suit up, we have to catch up with Kat" I quickly ramble, making sure not to make eye contact with Carson's exasperated face.
I quickly dialed Ana as they sped out of the room to get ready.
It rung once before Ana's breathless voice answered, "hello?" she huffed.
"I've got the litter patrol, where is Kat?" I asked quickly, a bad feeling already swimming in my chest.
"We are at Dooms company", oh he's going to be so pissed, "but Pony, hurry. It's not looking good" she finished, before the line went dead.
