Chapter 7 - It's Showtime!!! #7

•Issue starts off with Leo glowing his newly dubbed "Zero mode" standing over a nearly destroyed Primetime. 

Page 1

Leo:*Starts running directly towards Accel Corp*: I can see … I can see it. *Without realizing it Leo is now traveling through the panels themselves* 

Page 2

Transitions from Leo running to a flashback of Spectra running with her team the Acoyltes towards an unknown villain. 

Artist Note: The entire team of Acoyltes will appear as shadowy figures except for Spectra and Magnus. 

Spectra is seen directing traffic but sees her team beginning to fail. 

She stands there in awe as one of the younger and newer members takes field control. 

The unknown villain attacks Spectra only for her to be saved by the new hero who intervenes and saves her life. 

Spectra: I... hate…

Leo:*Spectra's flashback is interrupted by Showtime coming down with a powerful left hook*

Spectra: *Catching his left hook with near ease as her face distorts* YOU!!!!

Leo: *Jumping back,stands next to an amused Magnus*: A friend of yours? 

Magnus:*Showtime's Zero mode dissipates while looking up in the sky.*: A long time ago,young one. 

Leo:*Begins forming 2 swords and tosses one to Magnus: I hope you know how to use this,old man. The name is Showtime!

Magnus: Mag.

Spectra:*With her distorted voice* Magnus,I will end you!! 

*Wide panel of Showtime and Magnus swiftly running towards Spectra*

Page 4

*Both Magnus and Showtime gracefully sword dancing and switching blades as Spectra dodges each with ease*

Spectra:*Slides back wondering to herself why Magnus has yet to use his destruction powers*: It's because of the boy...I see. You believe in his future. 

Spectra: Once again,choosing someone over me.

Leo:So,I'm also a part time counselor. Y'all need anything. 

Magnus:*Smirks somewhat devilishly*: The boy is my future. *Leo stares in confusion* 

Spectra:Let's see what the future holds then. *A helicopter begins falling and passes right by the window of the top floor they're on*

Leo:*Begins running towards the window when Spectra shoots him from behind with several daggers directly in his back* 

Page 5

*Leo crashes through the window. Due to various injuries thus far he passes out*

Sasha: Leo!!! Leo!! Your heart rate is plummeting!! Wake up!!

*The helicopter is falling at an extremely fast pace with Showtime passed out falling above them*

The Reporter in the helicopter:*With no fear in her voice*Keep it rolling!!!! If we're gonna die at least we'll get this to the cloud. 

Sasha: Fuck!!! Wake up!! I won't be able to help you after this.

Sasha: I'm gonna active the defibrillator now!!! Please!! *Forcefully activates it* 

*A close up of Leo's face as he wakes up with his Zero mode activated once again*

Leo:*Gasps and immediately scouts the situation*: I got y'all!!!!!!

Spectra:*Who's been right behind Showtime attacks him with a stream of animatronic snakes*

Leo:*Tucks and rolls heading directly back to Spectra and hits her with an energy filled open palm in the stomach* 

*As the helicopter is about to crash with the reporters and her cameraman yelling in complete fear. Showtime does something incredible!* 

Page 7

Leo:*With a fierce snap of his fingers the helicopters collides to the ground and explodes but it wasn't a deathly explosion. The air fills with cards that read "Hi,I'm Showtime"*

Page 8

*Showtime lands in front of the reporter and her team with Spectra following suit* 

Leo: Y'all get out here. *With the camera still rolling they begin to run*

Leo: I'm glad you didn't do the cliche thing and attack em. 

Spectra:*Wickedly smiles and points* 

Leo:*Turns and sees an animatronic rhino charging at the crew*

Leo:*Dashes towards Spectra who's seemingly shocked. As he's dashing towards her 4 clones come from his back running the opposite way towards the reporter and crew*

Page 9

*Horizontal panel of the Showtime clones stopping the rhinos and moving the crew*

Leo:*Hits Spectra with an invisible force like blast that knocks her away several meters as he continues pushing forward* 

Spectra:*Waving her hands furiously begins to transform every vehicle around her into an animatronic animal* 

Artist Note: The animals chosen will be up to your imagination.

Leo:* In the middle of this stampede coming from all angles. Showtime begins to spin in a manner similar to Neji Hyuga*: Rotation!!! 

Page 10

*Overhead view of the animals getting blasted back by the Rotation* 

Leo:*Slows down and as he's finishing gets stuck from the bottom by a spear that nearly knocks his head off*

Leo:*Rolls back and takes off his blood covered damage mask. Zero Mode dissipates as Leo looks up Spectra*: Almost had me there,old lady. 

Spectra:YOU!!!!! The janitor!!! 

Leo: Dammit. How'd you know that. I knew this was a terrible job. Wait a sec…

Leo: I only know one grumpy old lady at my job…. That's Anita?!! 

Page 11

Spectra:*Her mouth guard lowers*: The brooms are in the back.*She chuckles*

Leo:Anita,why are you doing this? I swear I put up everything nicely in the closet. I did my job. Fuck those other assholes you work with. 

Spectra: I was a young,optimistic hero like yourself years ago. I went from being a scientist here at this building(Accel Corp) to sitting at the front desk. 

Spectra: I was a hero helping lead a charge against the….*Flashback of 

The Acoyltes running towards this giant shadowy figure*

Spectra:*Voice distorts* System!!!!! Reboot!!!!

Leo:*First person view of Showtime's blurred vision while staring at his mask*:No Zero Mode,my body is in so much pain,I can barely see. All I have left is my tk(tactile telekinesis)*A view of the thinly layered telekinesis* . I wonder where Magnus went? He'd be alot of help right now.

Leo:*Rising to hit feet and puts on his battered mask*:Anita,if you can hear me. I'm...we're gonna do better. We won't bury the past but 

Spectra:*One of the hydra heads attacks as he leaps on it's head* 

Leo:*Running along the head*: Dammit!! Can I finish my superhero speech?! 

Spectra:*All 5 hydra heads screech a deafening distorted like*: No!!!!!!!

*The hydra slams it's face directly towards the ground with Showtime narrowly avoiding the collision. 

Leo:*Panting heavily*:I don't know what else to do. What would Sasha do right now?! 

Leo:*Forms a blunt and motions his fingers to light it*

Spectra*With her distorted voice and all the hydra heads aiming beams towards Showtime who's walking away with his back turned*:The System will raise and end another generation!!! 

Leo:*Holding the blunt between his left index finger and thumb begins to collect electrons in his right hand.He turns around. They begin to form a hammer style axe*: Science always has the answer,huh,Sash.

Several Days later. The city is rebuilding and everyone(young and old) are coming together to restore Crescent City.

Leo:*Helping an older gentleman move some boulders*: Don't blow your back out now,Otis. I'll see you later. *Walks towards Sasha*

*On the other side of the city we see the begin to see Primetime's body slowly coming back* Primetime:I'm Showtime.....

Sasha:*Going through the rubble finds some of Spectra's tech and begins to put them in her bag when Leo pops up and startles her*: What the hell,man? I'm surprised you're actually out here helping. 

Leo:I'm pretty beat up but I told Spectra.I mean,Anita.I'd make some changes so why not the sooner the better. 

Sasha: What happened to her?! Or Magnus for that matter?

Leo*Looks at the Accel Corp sign*: I don't know,Sash. After the emp blast, my head has been kind of hazy.  I hope she's alright and maybe I'll run into Magnus again. 

Page 20

*A flashback of Magnus and Spectra on the top floor right after Showtime went to go after the helicopter*
