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*

*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*

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

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!!!

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

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

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!!!

*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.
