Chapter 5 - It's Showtime!!! #5

Page 1 

Leo: Spectra? You could've come up with a cooler name than that. Spectra sounds like a bootleg blue-ray player.

Spectra: *Smiles as she waves for the wolves to attack*

*The wolves attacks both heroes*

*S.Soul catches the wolf by the mouth*

Leo:*Gracefully leaps onto the wolf and bounces off it towards Spectra*

Page 2 

Spectra:*Stretches her hand as an animatronic snake launches directly towards Showtime*: When will the young learn?

Leo:*Descending rapidly back down while wrestling with the snake*: Shit!

S.Soul:*Rips Wolf in half*: Need help there,lil nigga?

Leo*Rips snake in half as the other wolf rushes back towards him*

Leo:*Spins counterclockwise as a sword begins to form in his right hand*: Anything you can do.

Page 3 

Leo *The wolf leaps as its sliced directly in the middle from its mouth to tail*: I can do better!!

Leo: *Flips the sword into a counter stance and boomerangs the sword*

Spectra: Idiots! There's always competition with you all.

Spectra:*Sees the sword as she jumps up above up her mobile platform*

S.Soul: *Appears right next to her and palms her directly towards the damaged car*: Shut up,bitch!

Spectra:*lifts her face while it begins distorting*: System…

Spectra:*A shadowy figure appears behind her while she tries to keep her distorting face in check* : System..Takeover!! 

Spectra*his her distorted face returns to normal but her eyes glare with fierceness* : Sorry about that. 

Leo &S.Soul * stare in a bit of fear but guarded* 

Spectra: *Raises her finger towards Showtime*:Let me start with you,boy. I know what's or should I say who?!

Leo: Disapora!!!

Page 5 

Leo:*The ear piece explodes in Showtime's ear as he falls to the floor*

S.Soul: Kid!!

Spectra:*Begins running towards S.Soul as he does the same *

*S.Soul tries hit Spectra with a clothesline with her effortlessly dodging his attack*

*Wide horizontal panel of Spectra sliding towards Showtime*

Page 6 

*Spectra stares directly in Showtime's eye as he clutches his ear barely keeping focus*

Spectra:The generational shift begins and ends with you!!

*Spectra's platform scoops her away as S.Soul runs back to Showtime*

S.Soul: Showtime,you a'ight?

*Wide birds-eye view panel of S.Soul carrying Showtime*

2 days later 

Leo:*Falls from his bed and wakes up*: Spectra!!!!!

Sasha: *Walks into the room* You totally got your ass kicked!

Leo: Where's Sergeant Soul?! 

Sasha: About that. He knows who you are. He also wanted me to relay this message to you.

Sasha: Kani was right about you and that you should be expecting a call soon.

Leo: This nigga even has my number? Cool!!!!

Sasha: So what we gonna do about Spectra?

Leo:Her tech powers are legit and she may have already access to our info on our computer.

Sasha: Don't worry about that.Instantly cleaned our PC.This bitch is gonna learn I'm not one to fuck with either. 

Leo: She started tweaking out,did you peep her mentioning something about the System?

Sasha: I did.She referenced a generational shift.Sounds like she hates millennials . 

Leo: So,she's an angry boomer?! Not a good villain origin story. She's low key kinda fine for an older lady.

Sasha: *Walking towards the the computer*: Villains are the heroes of their own story. Let's find out what her story is.

Page 9 

Leo:*Chuckles* Are you gonna google her? 'Cause I could've just asked Siri.

*Sasha lights bong and takes a hit*

Sasha:*Blows smoke out*: Nah,I'm a tech wiz. I have methods of getting info. Sit yo ass down and learn.

*lines of code begin to appear on the computer screen*

Leo: I have no idea what fuck I'm looking at.

Sasha: Don't worry about it ,noob.

Sasha: I got something. Check this. An old article from the 80's

Leo: there's Spectra in that pic. Who are the other guys?!

Sasha: Says here they were called the Acolytes. They were superheroes!

Leo: There were heroes before Soul?!

Page 11 

Sasha: They sound super dope but they were defeated by someone or something.Seemingly omitted from History. Like the world didn't want use to know about them.

Leo: Makes sense why everyone started freaking out by the hero boom of today. The world doesn't want us to fight back like the Acoyltes. 

Sasha: Whatever beat them has to be stupidly overpowered considering she just kicked your ass and made Sergeant Soul look like he was new to the game.

Leo: Shut up! Try to see what you can find about this System she kept mentioning. 

Page 12 

Sasha: You don't think she means the thing that oppresses the minorities of America,do you?!

Sasha: 'Cause that's not a physical thing. Not in the literal sense.

Leo: We have superheroes in the world,your best friend has powers and  always have prepped up blunts! *Chuckles * Nothing is out the realm of possibility.

*Sasha preparing to light a blunt*

Leo: *Stares at audience* Oh,c'mon!! 

Page 13 

*Sasha walks to the window while Leo is sitting on the bed*

Sasha: Here's what we know; Spectra is a former hero who wrecked you and my man

Leo:*With a peak of curiosity*: He's still your man?

Sasha:….Yeah,nigga. Shut the fuck up like I was saying. 

Sasha: Spectra is a former superhero turned villain who kicked y'all asses,She is technopath,she's a boomer and she has a strong distaste for the youth.

Page 14 

Leo:That narrows it down to several million people who hate millennials.

Sasha:*Inhales and exhales smoke*: True,but there's probably only a few thousand if that,that are actively doing something about it here in Crescent City.

Leo: We can look up some millennial hating social media groups and really start narrowing it down. 

Sasha: Yup! While you do that,I'll get back on the undernet and I'll see what else I can dig about her old superhero team.
