Chapter 79 - Fixing the Classics

Deep Space, Slayer Ship

(2 months ago)

(AA imprisoned and unconscious )

(E Man awaking)

E Man: What happened, where are we?

(The rest of the AA awaken)

Thunder: The last thing I remember is flying the ship and bright red light pulling our ship in.

E Man: Probably knocked us unconscious as well.

Valhalla Valkyrie: E Man we see this kind of ship before.

Steel: Then please explain what they are doing to us.

(AA seeing Steel hooked up to a machine)

Thunder: Steel!

E Man: That's enough we get out of here before anything else goes wrong.

(AA tries to free themselves but no affect)

Valhalla Valkyrie: For an unknown reason most of my strength is gone.

Thunder: I can barely make a spark.

R.I.P.: They said your strength would temporarily be taken away.

Steel: Who are you?

R.I.P.: Call me R.I.P.

E Man: You're an assassin from Earth.

R.I.P.: I'm honored by a big shot like you heard of me but sadly I have to admit I wasn't one who captured you.

Valhalla Valkyrie: We already know this is Slayer technology and you will explain how they got free.

(Voice coming from the motors)

Slayer: You will soon know everything of our escape after you join us.

E Man: We will never join you.

Slayer: Unless we use elements of our home world to make you think a different way.

(Energy beams hitting the AA heads)

(AA in great plain)

Slayer: This combination of elements and technology will unlock certain parts of your brain you hide away. Your anger, regrets, and other parts you lock away to control yourselves by manipulating those feelings you will think just as we do and obey.

E Man: Never!

Slayer: This might take longer than we expected but you will break.

(AA yelling out of pain)

Prime City

(News report)

News Reporter: Is chaos all around the world and the people responsible are our greatest heroes. The AA are under alien mind control and are trying to start invasion. Most of them have been taken down by other heroes but people are still evacuating for safety, including me.

(E Man hooking up the four vibration machines to a slayer device)

(E Man putting them on a Damage Tech Tower)

(E Man activating them)

E Man: This world will be saved soon.

(Half and Alloy flying in a AA jet)

Alloy: Looks like E Man had all four vibration machines all along, probably to keep us focused on the other AA.

Half: While he opens a portal for the Slayers to evade.

Alloy: All the other heroes are too scattered and tired to help. Leaving the two of us against the greatest hero in the world.

Half: That will be enough.

Alloy: I thought Power was the arrogant one on your team.

Half: I trust in myself and you.

(Alloy with worry on his mind)

(Half and Alloy walking to Damage Tech Tower)

(E Man flying down)

E Man: One of my students and the person I saved in this building a couple of days ago.

Half: Now is my turn to save you.

E Man: From what I am the one who once again is saving the world.

Alloy: You're not thinking racially sir, the Slayers will devastate this world and destroy everything in it.

E Man: If that will take to save this world then I will take that…

(Half tries to shoot a quill at E Man but he catches it)

(Half rushes at E Man but he dodges it but flying above)

(Alloy grows metal hands and attempts to catch E Man)

Alloy: Got him.

(E Man speeds behind Alloy and about hit him)

(Half pushes Half away and takes the punch)

(Half sent flying into the buildings)

E Man: How disappointing a hero he isn't capable of saving himself and a hero who saves a life by sacrificing his own. I tried to help this world by trying to give hope to super power individuals to be best selves and help the people but each generation just keeps failing. The only heroic thing is to wipe the slate clean and make a new society with the old ones as ashes. Only then will true heroes rise.

(Half walk near E Man)

Half: When we meant you said it doesn't matter if you saved people in the past if you don't save the people in the present. I agree with you that a hero should save everyone in the past, present, and future. That's why I will save you, the man in front of me.

(Half grows spiked wings and claws)

E Man: Fine then show me.

(E Man and Half fly in the sky to battle)

(Alloy runs away)

(Half continues to get a clean hit on E Man but fails)

(E Man hits Half repeatedly but Half doesn't quit)

E Man: It seems you have some form of enhanced healing or even regeneration but even those have its limits.

Half: You haven't seen everything yet.

(Half releases a sonic roar at E Man)

(E Man deflects the blast with his forehead laser)

E Man: You know when I was close to your age I didn't use my strength to fullest which caused me my home, my people, and my only family. That's why I tried to become a hero to fix my mistake and help save this world by using my strength to its fullest. Even with that I couldn't truly stop evil from coming back because you can't have evil without good or good with evil. To truly stop pain and suffering you have to force both sides to obey you or destroy them if they don't, that's the only clear answer.

Half: Don't lie to me. If you truly believe that you would have quit being a hero a long time ago.

E Man: That's before the Slayer cleared my mind.

Half: Then why have you been helping us?

(E Man looking confused)

Half: You and AA could have destroyed us when we first tried to stop you in that city. Even when you took over other cities no lives were lost either heroes or civilians.

E Man: That was a coincidental conclusion of our actions.

Half: No it was you four fighting back from being controlled. Because you are people who used the good and bad parts to be greater and save lives. Like you, me, and Alloy are heroes, the people who always find a way to make a world where everyone can live.

(E Man thinking of Half's great grandfather)

(Half shots a barrage of small sonic blasts at E Man)

(E Man shots most of them down)

E Man: You're are at your limit.

Half: That's why I have backup.

(Sonic blasts get reflected on Alloy's metal body and hit E Man)

(E Man temporarily paralyzed)

(Half rushes at E Man)

Half: I will always try to protect the life in front of me, even from itself.

(Half hits E Man with everything and they both fall to the ground)

(Half puts the anti mind control device on E Man)

Alloy: That was too close. You always seem to surprise me

(Vibration machines open a rift in the sky)

E Man: I'm sorry but you're too late. Not for them.

(Power and Mech fly in the sky)

Mech: If I surround the portal with a force field while you use your gravity powers on it we can close the portal. Do you have enough power left?

Power: It's literally in my name.

(Power and Mech closing the portal and making a giant shock wave)

(Tom and an unconscious Mech fall from the sky)

Tom: Not good. Mech you have to wake up.

(Tom and Mech float in midair)

Psy: You really owe me a date after this.

Tom: Of course.

(Mech waking up)

Mech: Did it work?

(On the ground)

E Man: Tell me, is your last name Atom?

Half: Why does that matter?

E Man: Because you remember me of the first hero in your world. Someone who tried to risk everything for a life either it be many or one.

(E Man goes unconscious)

Unknown Dimension, Slayer Home World

(Palace)

R.I.P: I told you the Trackers would be a problem, them and every other hero on that planet.

Warlord: Yes looks like after centuries of being trapped in this dead dimension the strength of the universe have grown, excellent. Fortunately we gather enough data from portal travel to take us to our home universe. Activate the portal.

(Giant portal opens and takes the planet to its original universe)

Warlord: Is time to remained the universe the purpose for strength in life. It is time for the Doom Brawl!
