Chapter 11 - Omega and Stormy: Extreme Measures

The gunshots come from the back of the club. A group of twenty cultists from the Cult of Confederacy storm the club through the back entrance. All dressed in the robes of the Cult and armed with a variety of firearms including sub-machine guns and assault rifles. The people inside the club try to proceed to evacuate through the main entrance, but a group of ten cultist emerge through that way, blocking off every entrance and exit in the club. One of the cultists is distinguishable from the rest, wearing a white robe instead. Everyone in the club, including Stormy, knows for a surety who the person is.

"Hello to all the disgusting filth this cesspool of an establishment has chosen to house!" Alexander Stephenson, the leader of the Cult of Confederacy, proudly proclaims to everyone.

"Tonight is the night that the cleansing of this country will begin! Others like you have been rounded up like the infected sheep they are, and will be sacrificed by fire! But for you, your cleansing will be dirty and filthy just like all of you!"

Alexander raises his right hand, as all the people in the club are terrified.

"Take aim!"

All the armed cultists take aim at all the people.

"This is for the glory of Confederacy!"

As the cultists prepare to fire…

All their weapons fly out of their hands towards the ground.

Stormy had thrown two magnet traps towards both groups of cultists, disarming all of them in an instant.

Stormy then throws a miniature C4 charge at the left wall.

"Everyone down!" Stormy screams, as everyone braces for what's coming.

An explosion brings down the left wall.

"Everyone out now!"

All the people quickly make for the hole blown by the C4. The club is now near empty, Stormy having saved the patrons in the club.

All that was left were the cultists and Alexander.

Unbeknownst to Stormy, Alexander had grabbed one of the patrons whilst everyone was evacuating.

It was Nesha.

Stormy pulls out a specially modified and customized sub-machine blaster and aims it at Alexander. The blaster fires the same non-lethal rounds as Omega's dual blasters.

"You can't get laid the natural way, so you have to resort to holding someone up for sex?" Stormy screams.

Two of the cultists laugh at Stormy's sarcastic joke.

Alexander pulls out a handgun and guns down the two cultists in seconds.

"Anyone else want to laugh at their leader?!" Alexander shouts.

All the cultists slowly back off.

"You dare to stand in the way of what is right?" Alexander shouts at Stormy.

"No, I'm standing up the way!" Stormy shouts, "I thought I'd look better on top!"

"Your sarcasm will not befall me! We will stand supreme!"

"Supreme Pizza? Yes please! Oh! More cheese please? Cheesy Crust as well, please!"

Alexander points his gun at Stormy, clearly agitated.

"You think adapting your cousin's attitude and methods is going to help you grieve that pathetic filth you call a best friend?"

Stormy's eyes widen in shock.

"Of course I know it's you Toni Lockyer! Who else would decide to become a vigilante for the sake of revenge! This is all part of my plan! To take those who stand up and fight and bring them down to the level of degenerates. You've been misleading the masses with your evil words, and now they will see a murderous monster who has resorted to cold blooded revenge. Who's going to defend that?"

Alexander points his gun to Nesha's temple.

"This will continue you on your way to self-destruction!"

"NO!" Stormy shouts.

"You forgot one thing…"

A voice echoes through the area, as Alexander is suddenly sent flying backwards.

Behind him stands Omega Magnus, having used his right cable launcher to pull Alexander backwards.

Nesha runs to Stormy.

"Get out of here!" Stormy tells Nesha, who quickly runs through the blown hole.

"Cultists! Attack!" Alexander orders his cultists to attack Omega and Stormy as he bolts for the back door.

"I didn't know cowards could run so fast." Omega remarks. "Shall we 'Stormy'?"

"Gladly." Stormy quips.

Fifteen cultists rush Omega, and the other fifteen rush Stormy.

Both Omega and Stormy take out seven cultist each with well executed punches and kicks.

The remainder pull out machetes.

Omega pulls out his Battle Baton, Stormy pulls out retractable chowbows, two baton like rods that look identical to Omega's Battle Batton, but on a smaller scale and consist of one each hand.

Both Omega and Stormy take out the rest of the cultists.

All machete hits being expertly blocked and reflected by Omega's and Stormy's well executed strikes and blocks.

All the cultists are on the floor, completely out cold.

Both Omega and Stormy put their weapons away in their utility belts.

"Nice job." Omega sarcastically says to Stormy, "First night on the job."

"I actually enjoyed that." Stormy says happily.

Omega kicks a chair away in anger, with Stormy looking on with a shocked expression. Omega then turns to look at Stormy.

"What the hell are you doing?" Omega shouts at Stormy, "It's bad enough you wanted to do protesting, but this is crossing the line! Your mother forbade this!"

"You ever stop to think that maybe you can't do everything by yourself?" Stormy replies loudly, "You have a crazed cult out there, and clearly you're more focused on Ariel!"

"Clearly, you chose to do this out of thoughts of vengeance! Why else would you be serious about becoming a vigilante?"

"I'm not looking for vengeance! You need more help!"

"How did you even get your armor? Who put you up to this? Dad?"

"Him and EJ."

Omega screams to himself as he spins around with his hands waving in the air.

"So now I have my best friend slash tech support doing things behind my back?"

"At least she's thinking straight! Clearly you're not!" Toni screams,

"So you take a few self defense classes, and then bam, you can do this stuff?"

Stormy looks away, unable to come up with a way to break the truth to Omega about her training.

"Wait!" Omega continues to shout, "Don't tell me Dad trained you? That son of a-"

"It wasn't!" Stormy shouts, "It was Tengge who trained me!"

"What?!" Omega is in complete shock.

"She didn't want me to tell you. All she told me was that she wanted someone to take her place in the future if something ever happened to her."

Omega stands flabbergasted as he turns in disbelief.

"She knew she was going to die."

"What?" Stormy asks,

"No, it's nothing... Okay, if that's what Tengge wanted. "Then it's okay."

"Just like that?"

"Yeah! Just don't give in to what Alexander said he wanted you to be, okay?"

"I know… I have you to keep an eye on me."

"Last thing I want is for you wanting revenge for Harry. And it's bad enough you're doing this whole vigilante thing, despite what your mother originally wanted."

"I know… Your dad says he'll handle my mum. And don't worry, Harry wouldn't want that."

As Omega and Stormy converse, Nesha slowly walks back in and goes towards Stormy, having concealed herself and watching the battle from afar.

"Nesha…" Stormy looks to Nesha and slowly walks towards her, stopping one step in front of Nesha. "About what Alexander said."

"It's okay." Nesha says calmly, "I even liked you as an rally activist."

"You're not going to go off telling this to everyone are you?"

"I don't have any friends, and I have no family here either. I was a refugee, so no one listens to me anyway. I guess I've gotten used to people ignoring me."

"Well… You have me now."

The two share an embracing hug, and they maintain the hug for a while.

"Err, hey, ever heard of a room?" Omega pipes in. Stormy and Nesha let go of each other.

"I guess we can start the introductions again." Stormy says, "I'm Toni Lockyer."

"I'm Tanesha Mansingh." Nesha replies, "But people call me Nesha for short."

"I'm Steven Lockyer by the way." Omega pipes up from nowhere.

"Omega?!" Toni shouts in surprise.

"Well since you've disregarded the whole secret identity thing!" Omega shouts,

"The wrestler?" Nesha says, "Yep" Omega answers.

"Well, I'm actually a computer programmer. I do a bit of hacking on the side. So I can help you two out if you'd let me." Nesha says,

"Well there's something we can use!" Omega happily replies. "We'll take her to the Magnus Lair with us Toni. We can't risk Alexander taking her hostage after tonight, so it's best we keep her close."

Toni nods in agreement.

"Okay, Nesha, you can ride with me. The MagnusCycle is in the alleyway." Tonis says to Nesha,

"See you two back at the Magnus Lair." Omega replies as the three head off.
