All eight thugs charge at Blyke, he uses his laser to shoot the one in front of him, while slamming his elbow in the thug behind his throat, causing the thugs airway to swell up within minutes. Another thug jumps up using his slam ability and knocks the ground around Blyke, causing it to crack and break. Blyke evades and uses his lasers to fly in the air.
Thug 3: Stupid fucking kid!
He punches but Blyke ducks, Blyke using the tip of his finger touches the man's shoulder and blasts through his flesh, giving him a bullet hole like wound and a clean exit wound.
Blyke in his head: I gotta start taking some more out.
He punches the thug hard in the nose, breaking it to a point where it sank in the man's face a little.
Blyke in his head: I can't do what John does, breaking arms and all, but I gotta start to do some more damage.
Suddenly a women with orange brown hair creates a blade with her arm and cuts Blyke's face.
Lance looks at his two cronies down and on the ground, in fear he sends all of them towards Blyke while using his tremor ability. Blyke blasts three lasers at another man, the third one going right through the stomach causing him to bleed majorly and stay down in the fight. Six guys left all charging at Blyke while the tremors from Lance make it dizzy for Blyke, rendering his fighting ability. One thug punches Blyke in the back, followed by her ability which is to create blades out of her hands, sliced Blyke's left cheek. Another thug punches Blyke from behind causing Blyke to fall down.
Lance: Kill this poor Bastard, he's weak.
Lance stomps his foot into the ground, causing tremors in the area.
Everything goes dark around Blyke as he gets pummeled on the ground by the six remaining thugs. Feeling nauseous from Lances Tremor he fades into what he thinks is Oblivion from death, until he sees a dark silhouette. Blyke gets up realizing he's in a void of nothingness.
Blyke: Hello?! IS ANYONE THERE?!
A figure appears from the endless darkness.
Blyke: John?
Joker: Well well I haven't heard that name in quite some time.
Blyke: John, what's going on?
Joker: Boy, I'm not your weak friend, I'm merely a better version of what he could have become.
Blyke: I don't understand?
Blyke notices Joker's skin, a grayish brown, like it has no blood.
Blyke: Why do you look like John?
Joker: Why you so focused on your friend? Let me show you how to win. How to KILL!
Blyke: I.. I can't, why the hell are you helping me?
Joker: Because boy, when I come for this world, I want to see your look when I kill all your friends.
An image appears behind Joker, Blyke understands it now, this is John from another world, he watches everything, John putting on a mask, him terrorizing the school, not becoming the Golden God. Beating up the Royals. Him and Sera fighting. It all made sense, out of fear Blyke couldn't power up, he knew he was fighting someone who could use his ability.
Blyke: I don't know why you're doing this, or the context to any of what I just saw, but the John I know isn't a coward like you.
Joker: I'm not here to take, only to give, for now.
Blyke feels a rush of Aura throughout his body. His eyes glow from a bright yellow, to a blood red. His pupils glow a sun like yellow.
Meanwhile in Branish.
X Rei: Where is...?
The green haired Thug: Kid, don't try to ignore me, I'll seriously crush this bitches throat.
Remi in her head: Oh God, he's being serious.
Green haired thug: What are you waiting for! Release him and de-power, DO IT!
Remi: Aw shit, no one but me, this is a little risky, but I have to find Waldo, or else more people are gonna get hurt.
Woman: Please, just do as he says, we are all a dime a dozen. I know you mean well but-
X-Rei powers down and thinks about the situation critically.
Meanwhile with Isen and John.
Bounty Huntress: Oh now this isn't fair, a two on one, and I'm still standing.
Golden God: Son, go help the girl in pink.
The Bounty Hunter: But-
The Golden God: Just do it, I can do more than take care of myself.
Isen leaves.
Isen in his head: Oh shit, is Remi in trouble?! How would he know though?
The Bounty Huntress: Well then, that's more like it.
The Golden God rushes at The Bounty Huntress, they both counter each other's moves, fighting like two mirrored opposites. Flipping each other back and forth, trying to find a weakness.
Green haired thug: Hey! Don't test me, I will-
Isen in his head: Ow fuck, she can't get to that hostage. I have to stop him!
The Bounty Hunter looks at X-Rei, she returns her gaze for a slight second, the two knew what they had in plan. X-Rei stalled for a couple minutes till The Bounty Hunter snuck up behind the thug.
Green haired thug, okay then, three, two, one...
The Bounty Hunter lunges at the man and removes his grasp on the woman's throat, she bolts towards X-Rei. The Bounty Hunter and the thug tussle for a couple seconds before the better ability took over. The Bounty Hunter threw the thug against the wall.
X-Rei looks at the thug she took down on the wall, she grabs him by the collar.
Thug: Hey listen lady, please don't hurt me.
X-Rei: Okay then, tell me, Where's Waldo?
Thug: I c-c-c-can't tell you!
X-Rei: Now why's that?
She begins to power up.
Thug: He'll ruin us all, kill us even, he used to be your average low tier, then he just, somehow got stronger, he has our families hostage, we have no choice but to work for him. Please, I just want to see my wife and kids.
X-Rei powers down
X-Rei: Well then, looks like you're gonna tell me either way, if you wanna see your wife that is.
The two find themselves in an elevator heading up to confront Waldo.
X-Rei: Hey, it's okay, you're not gonna get hurt around me.
Right right, I just, I'm scared.
X-Rei: I know you are, but it'll be okay, I promise.
X-Rei and the man head up to Waldo's office where X-Rei and Waldo confront each other.
X-Rei: Waldo! Don't move, I'm here to end your tyranny!
Waldo laughs as he turns around in his office chair.
Waldo: Who thinks they can just show up uninvited!
He powers up and shocks back the man using his shock wave ability.
X-Rei: Jesus, that shock wave is at least a 5.4. His boost pushed him up the ranks. He's a high tier.
Waldo: Hmm, looks like someone is at my power level, gonna have to bust out her equipment.
X-Rei: Who is "her" you're referring to?
Waldo pulls out a suitcase and pulls out a metal pipe that glows purple and red.
X-Rei: You think a piece of metal is gonna help you?
Waldo: Oh, it's not metal.
The pipe bursts in the air and wraps around Waldo's arm like a snake, then it hardens into a sword like weapon.
The sword glows a mean blood red, like Waldo's eyes, his aura feeds the blade allowing it to piece harder and quicker.
X-Rei shoots a bolt of lighting, Waldo in return sends a shock wave. X-Rei darts toward Waldo and makes contact, allowing her to send volts of electricity throughout his body. However he manages to undo her contact and jumps across the room.
X-Rei: You're under arrest, for holding multitudes of people against their will, kidnapping, and for illegal charges on the townspeople.
Waldo swings the blade and strikes a wall, cracking it all across, Remi dodges the incoming attack.
Waldo: Listen kid, if you cared about those people, you won't lay a finger on me, as we speak I have bombs strapped on those poor bastards. If you so much as scratch me, I'll rig them to explode and their blood will be on your hands.
X-Rei leaps back.
Waldo: Aww that's more like it kid. Hey listen, don't feel too bad, it's not like I'm doing this out of pure evil. I just found a loophole to societal social status. Now, I'm going to take care of my idiotic friend here. You sit still and I'll be right with you.
He walks over to the knocked out thug, his sword retracts back into his arm.
Waldo to himself: Haha, that nice french man gave me a great deal on this, can't believe there is a whole group of people out there with this kind of power, and on top of that a drug that can boost ability levels, what a steal.
Remi: Isen listen! Look around for hostages, until then I can't fight back.
Isen: Okay then, you got it.
The Bounty Hunter looks around and finds a building with thirty figures,
He heads down into the building's vent system to reach the people.
Meanwhile with X-Rei.
Remi in her head: Man, I can't protect this man for much longer, I need to fight him somehow.
The Bounty Hunter Sneaks up on the three thugs, they all have remotes in their hands, across from them is a vault where the people are kept. He sneaks up behind one of the thugs and grabs him.
The Bounty Hunter: Listen up fellas, drop the remote or this guy is gonna get it!
The two thugs look at each other and then back at The Bounty Hunter.
Thug 1: No you listen, we couldn't give a shit about this guy.
Thug 2: Yeah, we'll blow them all up, you think we won't?
At that moment, The Human Bounty Hunter slams the third thug's neck on his knee, knocking him out. He then rushes the other two thugs with his ability, knocking the remotes out of their hands using his speed from his ability. The two thugs however use their abilities and pin him to the wall. One heads over to take the remote while the other one continuously punches the Bounty Hunter in the face.
Isen in his head: Nooo! I can't let them win, I already told Remi that I disarmed them.
The thug kicks The Bounty Hunters head and breaks his ear piece. The Bounty Hunter gets up and tries to fight back, the two tassel back and forth. Cut away to all four areas, The Golden God is still struggling to fight The Bounty Huntress, Lazerbeam is starting to wake up from his interaction with Joker, X-Rei is only now starting to fight back against Waldo, and The Bounty Hunter, with every last bit of strength, knocks out the thug.
In a single moment, All four superheros' eyes begin to glow brighter than ever. Remi's glew a Bright baby blue with an orange, yellow Pupil, Blykes a blood red with yellow pupils. Isens glow a Bright yellow, almost like fire, and John, his eyes go from a Golden yellow to a dark black. His eyes glow to a crimson red. The four all get up and scream at the top of their lungs, their aura levels spike to a point where their body's couldn't control it. The Bounty Hunter uses his newfound strength and punches the thugs and slams them on the ground like rag dolls. Once they were knocked out he goes ham on the vault door. X-Rei shoots volts of electricity into Waldo. Despite his shock waves power she increases the voltage amount despite Waldo's jabs with his sword at her. Despite puncturing through her chest and out the back she continuously regenerates the wounds she is inflicted with. Finally the human body couldn't take the volts of electricity and started to burn, X-Rei backs away in horror as Waldo is burning Alive. His regeneration couldn't keep up with his wounds and ultimately fried to a crisp. Across the districts in Newside, Blyke gets up and starts to emit large amounts of Aura.
Lance: Ohh, someone wants to be the hero! KILL HIM!
He slams his foot harder into the ground, causing a stronger tremor to shake the buildings up around him.
Blyke: I'm not weak, I won't lose, I will win!
The tremors increase in intensity.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Suddenly Blyke's power unleashed raw energy. He felt something inside him take hold in a way he couldn't explain, it was so unnatural for him. Blyke emits a large shock wave that sends everyone surrounding him flying into building walls. Lance himself even feels the blow from ten feet away. Blyke looks at the knocked out thugs and activates his lasers. Eight on both hands, he blasts the unconscious thugs in the heads, instantly killing them all.
Lance trembles at this sight and falls to his knees.
Lance: Oh God, I-I-I'm so sorry, please.... don't kill, me!
Blyke: Shut the fuck up trash.
He stared the man down as aura emitted all around him like flames.
He punches Lance in the head knocking him to the ground, then he takes Lance's head and repeatedly slams his skull against the pavement until blood starts to leak out. He then points his finger at Lances temple.
Lance: Oh please, don't kill me!
Blyke: I don't know, this is kinda ironic, almost self fulfilling. Maybe I should kill you, after all that's what you were just trying to do to me.
Lance: Noooo please, oh God I'm sorry, this town is your's now please!
Blyke: I don't want you little town, and I'm not gonna kill you, just giving you what Karma would have.
Lance smiles a bit, as if he had a plan.
Blyke: I'm not letting you go either.
Blyke shoots Lances kneecaps.
Blyke: You'll never walk normally again.
Blyke walks away as Lance's bleeding starts to worsen.
Lance: Wait! You said you wouldn't kill me, please help!
Blyke looks back and says one last thing before leaving town.
Blyke: I'm not killing you, your choices are.
He runs off to head back to Isen's sniper nest in Branish.
John meanwhile looks at his foe with all the anger in the world.
Bounty Huntress: Well, it's time I took off.
Before John can fully grasp what is happening to his body, The Bounty Huntress takes off and flies away, fully aware she was outranked.
The Bounty Hunter finally punches through the vault before his power starts to wear off, feeling sore from the muscle strain.
The Bounty Hunter: Is everyone alright?!
X-Rei and the "thug" return to the vault, where the families are held against their will.
Remi looks at the three guards guarding the hostages, she sees spots on their head where the skull has sunken in.
Thug: No worries everyone, it's me Quintion. I'm here to rescue you all.
Quintion, X-Rei, and The Bounty Hunter undo the blindfolds and knots on people.
X-Rei: Good news everyone, I have managed to subdue Waldo, he won't be causing trouble anymore!
Quin and his wife and daughter reunite. They embrace once everyone is free, the people realize that high tiers are in their town and they start to question their motives. Then Blyke enters the room.
Blyke: Aww man, took what felt like forever to find you.
The Bounty Hunter: Oh yeah, we have a problem as soon as you guys left, I got attacked by some woman in crazy armor, she had jet packs and all of this crazy shit on her.
Lazerbeam: Well did she get away?
The Bounty Hunter: I don't know, she's fighting Jo- The Golden God right now.
Everyone in the room goes in shock.
Civilian: Oh my God, he's amazing.
Civilian 2: The one and only!
Civilian 3: God was here, rejoice!
The trio of vigilantes look at each other in confusion as they walk out of the room, leaving the others to celebrate just hearing about The Golden God.
Isen: Wow, these people see him as a god, that must be kinda cool for John.
Remi: Well, they already see High tiers as crazy powerful, imagine how they react to someone who can copy any ability?
Blyke: shush you two! Up ahead.
They spot a masked woman in a trench coat with another lady and a bounty hunter.
Blyke Remi and Isen sit back in a corner.
Isen: Hey, that's the bounty hunter who knocked me out!
The three listen to a conversation with the bounty hunter, civilian, and the trench coat lady.
Civilian: Volcan! There you are, I was worried that-
Volcan: The money, where is it? We don't got time, there's a fight breaking out here and a town over.
Civilian: I-I don't have any left. I-
The Bounty Huntress activates her ability.
Volcan: No... I'll handle this.
She activates her ability, which creates sharp claws that give a flame off the edge.
Volcan: Greedy pig, I have no use for you.
The Lady collapses and bleeds out, her blood rushing out like a fire hydrant that was crushed.
Remi: Wait, sharp claws, flames.
Blyke: Yeah, just like.
The three all at once: EMBER!
Remi jumps the corner with her ability activated.
The Bounty Huntress: I'll handle her.
Valcon: No, I'll...
The Bounty Huntress: Yes, because HE is here now.
Standing behind Volcan are two Golden glowing eyes.
Blyke and Isen jump out to fight the bounty huntress with her.
Bounty Huntress: Well well, it looks like we have a situation here.
The six all stand there looking at each other, the air is so dense it's almost as if it lost it's gas properties. They all activate their abilities actively, ready to tear the whole town apart.
To be Continued.....
