Chapter 25 - A Cool Bus Chase and a Blast from the 80s Past

Miguel is placed on a chair. Suddenly, a syringe from the chair injects into his head.A computer speaks. "Connection with Usog confirmed. Practices the Eyes of Fire. Skin color is light brown. Subject's hair is black. Strong eyebrows. Pointed jawline. Burn marks on the tongue and upper jaw. Burn marks on the hands, which shouldn't be since he wields fire. Must indicate the ability of culinary arts. Rather fit but stretch marks are shown in the abdomen and shoulder area. Contains bunyon on left foot. Bruises are present despite of ability to regenerate. Fit yet muscular. Blood is indeed divine in terms of origin. Blood is indeed a hybrid of a Pantheon and an Aswang."Miguel's eyes quiver. "It's okay... Least I got some new friends along the way..."Meanwhile..."FAIYA!!!"Flames erupted from the Reaper's fist, burning the enemies alive, followed by the fading echoes of demonic wails. The Reaper with his scythe and Prometheus with his sticks engage in a fierce struggle against the pursuing demons."BUBBLE BOMB!!!" A massive explosion occurs in the distance.With the Reaper and his scythe and Prometheus with his formidable sticks, they repelled the demonic onslaught, protecting their friends.Athena's clones swiftly ushered the group onto the CoolDudeBus, urgency was etched all over their faces."THEY'RE GONNA KILL US!!!" Lord yelled out into the window."FLOOR IT, THENES!!!" Anna's command activated Athena's command system as the CoolDudeBus sped away, the clones forming a makeshift humanoid driver."OH MY GOD!!!" Anna gasped, witnessing the demons causing havoc, crashing into buildings, leaving destruction in their wake."NO!!! NO, GOD!!! PLEASE!!!" A man's desperate plea echoed from a nearby building, the gruesome aftermath obscured by splattered blood on a window.The demons, relentless in their malevolence, preyed upon those in the streets, leaving a trail of chaos. The scene unfolded as they targeted cars, tearing through drivers and consuming families.The demonic laughter echoed, marking their capture of "useful" individuals for Aurora's empire."I can't believe they voted for Aurora! WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY VOTE FOR AURORA!?!?" asked Anna."Yeah. Politicians, man," said Fred. "2016. 2016 is the answer!" smiled Jedan while eating a burrito in the back."NOT... HELPING!!!" yelled Anna.The demon horde begins scampering toward them."Jed?" sighed Anna.Jed then pops his body out the skylight window and begins stretching his arms, elongating them as he turns his fists into hammers. "HAMMER RUSH!!!" he yelled, throwing a flurry of punches at the demon horde and taking most of them out.Suddenly, a demon manages to bite Jedan's neck.Jedan grows muscles and grabs the demon and grand slams him to the roof.The demon exchanges punches only for Jedan to stretch his head backward and slingshot it to the demon's face, headbutting him and knocking him out. Jed tries healing his wound, but some sort of black poison begins entering his veins. "Agh!"Jedan faints on the roof as Lord pulls him back in."JED!!!" yelled Lord."Crap. Demon poison," said Gerard. "I'm gonna have to suck it.""Get the hell away from me, blondie," growled Jedan."Sorry, Jed," he pops his lips as he leans forward. "I'm gonna have to suck it out.l""NO!!!" yelled Jed, pushing him away. "GET OFF!!! F-!!!""Where'd this strength come from!?" asked Fred, holding him down."HE EATS ALOTTA PROTEIN!!!" yelled Lord."Happy?" asked Anna."A'ight, mate..." said Happy. "If it means savin' Miguel..."Happy climbs out of the skylight and activates his in-built incinerator.*BOOM!!!*Suddenly, all the demons disappear as nothing but dust statues of the horde are blown away by the wind.Suddenly... Aurora's deadliest general... Miguel's alter... MABUS... appears into the scene...He slides from the right behind him and begins flying toward them."Oh... SHIT!!!" yelled Anna."Say wha-?" Jedan asked, waking up. He turns to see that MABUS is chasing them. "OH MY GOD!!! TELL ME THIS IS A DREAM!!! ANNA, SLAP ME!!!"Anna slaps him angrily. "THAT'S FOR WHAT YOU MADE US DO TO MIGUEL ON PROM NIGHT!!!""Ow! That was wound up! Jerk!" yelled Jedan."Thenes? What do you suggest we do? MABUS is just as powerful as Prometheus.""Is he? Isn't he weaker?" asked Athena."Around the same strength! What's Pro's weakness!?"MABUS is suddenly outside their window. His eyes glow red."OH SH-!!!"MABUS slams his body into the bus.*BANG!!!*The bus swerves and the tires could be heard screeching, with the screech echoing in the entire city."ATHENA... WHAT CAN WE DO!?!?" asked Anna."I-I-I-I DON'T KNOW!!! NO ONE'S EVER BEAT PROMETHEUS BEFORE!!!" yelled Athena."Hey! remember Napoleon?" joked Jedan. "There is nothing we can do!""STILL NOT HELPING!!!" yelled Anna.Anna gulps in fear. Her eyes shook. She sweated profusely."GIVE US YOUR BEST SHOT, QUIET KID!!!" laughed Jedan.Turns out the skylight window is still open. Everyone turns to Jedan, frowning."Eheh... Think he heard that?" asked Jedan.MABUS screams and blasts a bubble bomb at them thru a loud booming scream that blows up the road before them. They begin falling only for Fred to press a button to activate wings and a rocket to help them fly up.MABUS squints his eyes. "Tch-..."Anna's eyes widen. "He's more reckless than Prometheus...""What!?" asked Jedan."You saw him, right? He got mad because you MOCKED HIM just now! Prometheus would hurt people but he has self control!" smiled Anna.Everyone raises their eyebrows."Oh, come on! Sure he's abusive, selfish, and a complete narc, but he genuinely CARES about us!""Yeah. But 'Self-Control?' How do we exploit that?" asked Jedan."How do we exploit Prometheus?" smiled Anna. "Or more importantly... How do we exploit Miguel?"Jedan sighs. "Time to do what I do best..."Jedan pops his head out of the bus. "HEY!!! MABES!!! WHERE'RE YOUR PARENTS!!!"MABUS frowns. "My progenitors are deceased.""HA!!!"MABUS tosses another bubble bomb only for Lord to hop out of his mouth and shield the attack with his rock-hard body.The bus shakes.Jedan smiles and punches him over and over again.MABUS dodges easily."HA!!! Dodging? Looks like you really ARE a coward!" smiled Jedan.MABUS growls and lets Jedan catch his fists.Suddenly Jedan smiles and begins turning his hands liquid, beginning to root his hands into his veins. "PUPPET TIME!!!"MABUS smirks.Jedan's arm begins turning black and begins disintegrating. "OH!!! OH MY GOD!!!" yelled Jedan, with a scream of complete agony.Lord then appears and uppercuts MABUS only for MABUS to headbutt Lord so hard that his rock head slightly cracks, making him fall to the floor of the bus.Anna then hops out of the skylight and yells. "MIGUEL!!!"MABUS' eyes quiver upon seeing Anna."What would your Anna think?" asked Anna."Excuse you?" asked MABUS."She was your wife, right?" asked Anna. "What would she think of you...?"MABUS immediately stares at her, guiltstricken, only for his face to strike a pole as he crashes into a building."Bye!" smiled Happy."AAAAAAAAAAAH!!! MY ARMS AREN'T GROWING BACK!!!" yelled Jedan. "No, wait! They are! False alarm!""Dude... I Brocha's aphasia my think damaged is..." Lord falls to the ground.Anna smiles. "He'll be fine. I'm yo white mage.""How'd you know your alter was his wife..?" asked Jedan."I... just kinda felt it..." said Anna. "Prometheus told us to meet with his wife in... Superhero World..."Suddenly, Fred prepares the portal engine, create a massive bubble portal before them as they rocket and blast away into another dimension...Where... They...End up in a utopian version of 1980s New York—a city bathed in the bubbly glow of neon lights, pulsating with the dynamic sound of synthesized music that seem to make people dance to the beat. Like Thor Ragnarok.Skyscrapers with billboards made of futuristic holograms towered the city and even attached themselves to some sort of ground in the sky. The city streets show bustling life with a rainforest and zoo district for Mutant Animals to live in. The group smells the precious aroma of coffee in the cafes and the acidic smell of pizza and spaghetti,"'EY!!! I'M WALKIN' HERE!!!" yelled one guy, nearly getting struck by a taxi who still continued to try and run him over only for Athena to walk by and arrest him.The cars were vintage. Their engines emit a smell similar to Miguel's (the Aswang Prince). Pedestrians laugh and dance to music. The denizens are shown to display funky afros and silly and strange colorful clothes similar to a JoJo character's or an 80s rock and roll group.They pass by the park which now holds forest life built for Animal Mutants who wander around like tribal people. Ape Man guards protected the park to make sure that enemies wouldn't enter. Howling, chirping, and hooting could be heard in the forest.In the sky, airships made from the Splooge (even some that say 'Sploogerized') traverse the skies. They shimmer in trails that, again, distinctly smell like Miguel. Or at least, not Miguel. Anna realized that this was probably the smell of Aswang blood. Yet, she looks outside to see the beautiful sunset shimmer in rose, green, and gold.The city itself represents a beacon. Statues of Superheroes such as the Reaper in his 60s costume, Hercules in his old tights, and even Dark posing like a Samurai detective are shown at the center of the park. And above them is Prometheus, who rules all."Whoa..." said Anna.Later...*knock, knock...*The door opens, revealing an older yet young beautiful woman with purple puffy hair and beautiful light skin. She... actually looks exactly like Anna."Oh... Wow... Theory confirmed..." said Anna. "Are you Prometheus' wife?""One of..." smiled Alter Anna. She shakes her hand. "I'm Annalisa Antonia Anastasia. I'm one of Prometheus' wives... and hubby. Hey, Jess? Jed?""'J-... Jed...?'" asked Jedan. He squints his eyes. "Ugh! Gross!""Bigot," said Lord."I'm bi. Just not attracted to Miguel that way," said Jedan.Suddenly, an effeminate version of Jedan appears."Oh! You're a girl," said Jedan."I wish!" laughed Femboy Jedan. "Femboy, here! Prometheus' husband!""And I'm his other wife!" smiled Jess.Everyone stares awkwardly at them.Anna's eye even twitches with the thought of Miguel being with three people. "Waddup...?"
