Chereads / The Sentinels / Chapter 12 - Capital Punishment

Chapter 12 - Capital Punishment

Yuri: So. You made it? What happened to your friend?

Kara: He led us to you.

Yuri: Kara, you don't understand. Do you?

Kara: I've had 1,000 years to think about everything. The one thing I have never figured out is why? Why did you do all this? Gain all this power?

Yuri: I earned my power. You don't need to know how. Just know that I have risen above you and all those that came before me. And I will keep rising! If I fall down. I'll just get up and do it all again.

Kara: That's a really bullshit excuse! You murdered millions of families. People with children!

Yuri: Age matters not. You are 5,000 and James is only about 60. Yet you seem to know about the same amount. Don't tell me you wasted all 5,000 years of your life!

Kara: I wasted nothing!

Kara made her hair go all white and punched Yuri in the face. She barely flinched.

Yuri: You remember last time we fought? I have gotten stronger since then. You remember this right?

Yuri brushed her hair aside. She showed Kara her mangled and destroyed eyescoket. She put her hair back how it was.

Yuri: You did that. And you will never do it again.

James: Kara, we have to try. I don't see backup coming.

James and Kara rushed Yuri. Kara hit Yuri in the side and threw a kick. Yuri pushed Kara's kick away. James threw a punch at Yuri. She fired an energy blast and threw James off course. Kara swung her staff at Yuri. Yuri ducked and moved closer to Kara. Kara threw a punching combo and landed some elbows on Yuri. She did an uppercut with her staff. Yuri grabbed Kara's staff and threw it away, stumbling Kara. She grabbed Kara and picked her up. She ripped Kara in half and threw her away.

Yuri: You see. I know your weakness. It would really suck if you were to forget about why you're here.

Yuri let the offensive stone's power flow into her. But James came from behind and knocked her into the wall with a charged punch.

Yuri: Wow, such power. You would make a great addition to the magvacore.

Kara was able to put herself back together. She got up next to James. They both were ready to go for another round. Yuri let her radiation barrier surround the room. Suffocation both James and Kara.

Yuri: I breathe on radiation. It's funny that I was pretty much the only being in the galaxy that does that.

Cyrus bust in through the door.

Cyrus: Funny, I don't have to breathe on anything in this form.

Cyrus was still made out of the metal that Malignity's swords were made out of.

Yuri: Fraudnium is one of the toughest metals in the galaxy. Impressive.

Cyrus threw a punch at Yuri. She caught it with her hand and shot an energy blast at Cyrus. It bounced off of his body and hit Yuri. She had to move backwards. Cyrus threw a hook kick and sent Yuri back a bit.

Yuri: Alright. That's it! Don't move, or the old man dies!

Yuri lit up her hand for an energy blast at James.

Cyrus: It's okay. Do it.

Yuri: Fine!

The big window on the bridge was blasted open by lionheart. Who was in space. Yuri was pulled out into space. Cyrus kept Kara and James from flying into death. Lionheart hit Yuri with two hooks and threw her into her own ship. Yuri found her footing and jumped off her ship and punched Lionheart away. He got punched into a random giant piece of planet debris. She charged a punch from the offensive stone. She flew towards Lionheart and punched him with a devastating hit from the offensive stone. Cracking the giant piece of rock in half and leaving Lionheart floating in space.

Yuri: Look at you! Cute little Lion!

Sky shot a huge blast at Yuri's back.

Yuri: Ah! The child that destroyed my awesome laser!

Sky flew up to Yuri and dodged her first punch. Sky tried to choke out Yuri from her back. Yuri grabbed her by the leg and pulled her off.

Yuri: Cute.

Yuri grabbed Sky by the neck.

Yuri: Look into my eyes.

Yuri slowly squeezed Sky. Bringing her closer and closer to the edge of death. Sky actually started to become scared. She tried kicking away at Yuri. Firing blasts and then trying to pull her hands off for a little bit of air that wasn't in space. Until Yuri felt a sword get stabbed through her from the back. She tried to squeeze and kill Sky but Freya pulled her sword out of Yuri and sliced her arm clean off. Yuri looked at her missing arm, and then at Freya.

Yuri: Then you have chosen death for you and your own planet.

Yuri used the power from the offensive stone to make herself a new arm. James flew out into space.

James: We have to get the stone off.

Freya: Way ahead of you.

Freya ran in and slashed at Yuri. She clashed with Yuri's new arm. Yuri punched Freya in the stomach and grabbed her head and pulled her down to be met with a knee to the face. Freya flew around Yuri and cut her on the side. Yuri was able to hold back another sword strike with her arm. She shot a blast at Freya but was hit in the back by James. Freya summoned her new demon power and shot multiple energy balls at Yuri. Yuri got hit by them and ran towards Freya. Freya slashed upwards at Yuri's other arm. Yuri dodged and punched her new arm straight through Freya's chest. Blood ran down Freya. But she mustered the strength to grab the offensive stone off of Yuri's neck. Freya threw it away and into space.Yuri reached for it and then punched Freya away.

Yuri: you….think just because you took my stone away that I am weak?!

Yuri flew up to James and grabbed him by the chin and threw him into her own ship.

Yuri: You are sadly mistaken!

Freya: No. You are.

Kara shot her gun at Yuri's back from her ship. Freya came down to cut Yuri in two.

James: STOP!

Freya hesitated.

Freya: What do you want me to do?! I was taught to kill. By my own father!

James: Well maybe he was wrong.

Freya had flashbacks to all the times that her father treated her wrongly. As a torture subject. Freya turned around and saw Lionheart holding an unconscious Yuri by the neck.

Lionheart: Look! I didn't kill this time!

Everyone was on Earth. With Yuri in some sort of cuffs. Freya had bloodstains on her clothes. Kara had covered up the rips on her with duct tape. Cyrus's tuxedo was stained and worn out. Sky's hair was messed up and she had some sort of brace around her neck. James had a bigger beard and his cape was torn and tattered. Lionheart was as happy as could be.

Constantine: You want me to do what?

Freya: *sigh* she's too powerful to be left alive. So we made a compromise. I want you to put a limiter on her.

Constantine: Right then. Step back so you all don't get caught in this.

Yuri was smiling. She stepped forward.

Sky: Oh, and also make her short!

Constantine: What are you smiling about luv?

Yuri: I can't wait to find out how I'll get out of this.

Constantine: That's the point of a limiter. You can't get out of the living hell you'll be in.

Constantine said some sort of a chant and hit Yuri with a pulse that made her weaker.

Constantine: Here you go. She should be harmless.

Constantine kicked Yuri. She fell to the ground and rubbed her wound. She glared at Constantine.

Constantine: Ugh, can't I just send her to hell?

James: Nope. It'll be like an adoption. Come on Yuri.

Yuri saluted James and came with him. Everyone went to James's house. James put her in some sort of sealed off room. Everyone went outside and sat together.

James: So, we finished our mission. Now what?

Kara: I'm going to go and get a burger or something.

Sky: I'm gonna relax for a while. Even heroes need to!

James: Well. Here's a better question. Who's going to stay with the Sentinels?

Everyone raised their hands. Except Cyrus.

Lionheart: Cyrus? Why aren't you raising your hand?

Cyrus: This job is fun and all but I have no reason to stay. Yuri was a planetary threat. I have a business. This hero thing never really felt like it was for me. Maybe it's because all my other siblings became heroes. But my home is my business. You all are welcome at any time.

Cyrus stood up and started walking away. He waved to all of them

James: He'll come back, won't he?

Lionheart: I don't think so.

James: We don't always have to be together but I will contact you all if we do need to. I loved working with all of you.

Lionheart started ugly crying.

Lionheart: But I don't waaaanna leave!

Kara: *sigh* I got this. Lionheart, why don't we go get something to eat buddy?

Lionheart: Maybe if we catch it.

Kara: Catch it?

Lionheart: Of course! Ice fishing!

Kara: I'll be back in like, 2 weeks.

Lionheart dragged Kara away.

Freya: God, he acts like a child.

James: Well. I have a crazy kid to take care of.

James nodded at the both of them and left for his house.

Freya: Well. I have work to do. See ya.

Sky: Hey, don't act like we aren't friends!

Freya: Well I'm going to keep doing it.

Sky: Wow, that's the nicest thing you ever said to me!

3 years later: 2020

James was on the phone looking outside at a bunch of portals opening.

James: Sentinels. We have a code red situation. Meet me in the center of the city. Quick.

Freya took her sword off of it's stand. Lionheart heard the message and flew off. Sky scrambled out of her room while putting her suit on. She lit up and flew off. Kara flipped her staff up and swung it and put out her fire.

The Sentinels will Return in the E.O.L. Crossover.
