Heroes Uprising Part 13

"Bella hit the ground with a thud, bleeding she reached out her phone, and dialed a number."

Bella: L..lex he's coming for you, I hope your formula works.

"She fell to the ground passed out, as sirens were heard."
.............................
"Darrius was grabbing a brief-case, looking at Lex, who's bluetooth was beeping, and he looked at Darrius with panic"

Lex: Give me the brief-case now, Terrel is back
Darrius: Oh great, that fool's back?
Lex: GIVE ME THE CASE
Darrius: Chill.

"Darrius tossed Lex the case, and suddenly he vanished in a flash of light after pressing a button on his watch, Darrius gathered radiation in his hands."
.......................
"Carmen sighed, she was sitting down on the couch playing video-games as usual, one of her favorite hobbies she was playing Terminator: Salvation"

Carmen: Jaames! James come here.

"James comes out and puts his arms casually on the couch behind her"

James: Something wrong?

----

"Peter readies himself and the next second Milo is flying to the left, then up, then down and then, just as he crashes, he's brought down again towards the floor. Peter lands beside the crater sighing"

Peter: Sorry Milo...but you can't match me in speed. So just get out of here before I really starting moving fast

----

"As Troy and Katy continue to fight, I arrive through mist and notice the SXM fallen around me"

Me: What the fuck...and is that...Troy...Katy...

"Carmen frowns"

Carmen: It's..just...bad things are happening, the SXM are gone, mutants are hounded, were both powerful..I wanna go out there, do vigilante work, I can use my powers..to bring down bad guys..make them disappear forever, we could even work together.
.........................
"Milo laughs"
Milo: I can match your speed fool, but you know I want you to test out this ability, I like to call it Deflection.

"Milo stands still, as Peter charges, suddenly Peter is sent flying into the ground."

Milo: Basically whatever you attempt to do to me, happens to you. So stabbing me, results in you getting a stab wound, so now then try and defeat me, without attacking me.
................
"An injured Kujon makes his way over to Filipe"

Kujon: Thank God your back, that bastard Milo attacked us, Katy's snapped as well, we don't know what to do. I don't have the energy to summon anyone to push the rubble off of Yamairo, "Isabel", and the girls.

Katy: You realize we're surrounded by water correct.
Troy: I've noticed...

*Katy begins turning all lingering water to ice, not only in a attempt at freezing Troy, but everyone.*

Katy: I told you those emotions would be your fall! And if you survive, goodbye to your friends.
Troy: Not likely.

(Katy hadn't seen Filipe.)

"Peter looks at Milo and grins"

Peter: It's simple a matter...of being faster than your power

"And Milo, before anything else can be done, finds himself crashing into the moon"

Milo: Alright what the fuck!!

"And then back on earth, crashing with such a force the create resembles more of a small valley than a crater. Peter lands next to him"

Peter: Faster than thought...or faster than whatever what power is...I just need to be faster. Infinitely faster. There is no limit right? You can't beat me with tricks...you either fight...or you withdraw. Also we're not in the mansion anymore so I can do this...

"Milo suddenly feels himself slowed down. And when his body regains it's speed, he's hammered into the sky with enough force to send him flying out of the atmosphere and past the moon"

Peter: Lazy Punch...never tried it on a human...wonder what will happen to him?

----

"I create ice under the rubble that Kujon indicates, increase it's size to slowly push it off the SXM members"

Me: I know Milo snapped he attacked me too...and he took Rachel and Marie

"And just as I say this, I block out Katy's attempt at a freeze"

Me: Alright seriously that was fucking dangerous! TROY! Need any help here?

----

James: Carmen...you say that, but do you think we can just go about deciding who's right and who's wrong. I know great and many men that saw that as their worst problem

Carmen: Hmm, but still once the SXM vanished, crime rates went down, I don't have to kill them, just get them to police or Hammer..
.........
"Moments later Milo teleports back to earth, but is now Invisible, he boosts his speed to Peter's level, then using Harry's ability he moves forward, sending out a massive wave of light aimed at Peter, cloaking the attack as well"

Milo: And the fun begins.
.....................
Kujon: If I could heal, I could bring something out to stop Katy, maybe Milo as well, but..right now.

"He fell to his knees, holding his arm where blood started to spill out."

*Katy looks down.*

Katy: Your here.
Troy: Damnit, absolute zero her ass or some shit. This will last all day, and we have other stuff to worry about.
Katy: Trust me Troy, you need not worry about the rest.

...................................

Jin: So icy has arrived.

"Emma, Jade, Claire, and Angie were seen in a stolen SUV, parked out by a cabin, Claire was inside looking at the news, CNN, were talking about the fugitives, and Hammer Agents were in the area."

Emma: Damn the Government, damn all of them..there gonna pay for Dracy's death.
Jade: You thinking about him again?
Emma: No, I'm thinking about chicken nuggets.dumb ass!
Jade: Chill, look I've been doing my research, from my time with Siya, gathered some Precognitive Paintings, there's gonna be a powerful mutant out there, name's Alastair Dewflone.
Emma: The hell can he do?
Jade: Hmm, Honestly I don't know, but Siya says his ability is incredible, it can even rival Fusion
Emma: So let's grab the others, and go get him, if..he can bring Dracy back, then I want to find him.

James: We deliver them to HAMMER...again how do we know they deserve that...but I do agree. The SXM can't act on their own, HAMMER is a loose cannon...there needs to be someone that still fights the good fight

----

Me: All you need to do is...ASK!

"I slam my fist to the ground, an a huge ice pillar forms, trapping Katy in it as it freezes her there"

Me: That should hold her...now what?

---

"Peter gets hit but quickly speeds up his healing"

Peter: So hiding are we...that's cheating Milo

"Peter slows down time again around the entire area from where the light blast came and then aims attacks at every point he can in that space, trying to hit Milo before he can dodge"

Carmen: Then why don't we put together a Resistance, go against Hammer? James..I love my powers..I can't sit around, watching the world go bad, and we can be out there doing something.
................
Kujon: William..heal me, and the others please.

"Ezekiel rolls out of some rubble, pulling out a damaged cell phone, and groans"

Ezekiel: I need to contact my father.
..............
"Milo is hit, but converts into pure sound, and then forms a high pitched noise wanting to cause Peter's ears to bleed, meanwhile Ledge is seen with the others"

Ledge: So we leave this all up to Peter?
Alex: Well, we can help out..it's up to Fawkes

Troy: Kujon, William is doing nothing right now. You and Ezekiel was lucky just not to get knocked out. We have to wake them up, except last time, we had Sandra. We either wait, or call James, that's the options I see.

*Troy pauses, looking at Katy.*

Troy: And I want to know what the fuck happened to Katy. Filipe, can you go get him?

.........................................

Shawkun: They got her.
Jin: A mere temporary stall, she'll complete her objective yet.

........................................

*Troy has landed back on the ground, in his normal form once again he looks up into the sky.*

Troy: Funny, with Katy frozen, shouldn't this umm, fog be lightening?

*Troy looks up to the ice pillar, Katy still appears to be frozen there. Slowly, vision fades as if anything, the cloud is thickening rather then thinning. The next second, a large ice shard pierces Troy's throat. A water blast breaks through the foggy mist next, slamming Kujon to the ground. Filipe gets ready to do his move when Katy appears in front of him.*

Katy: Absolute Zero, in these wet conditions? You'll freeze everyone here.
Filipe: I froze you in that ice pillar.
Katy: You merely frozen a water statue of me, water clone If you want. I took the idea from Mortal Kambat.
Filipe: ...
Katy: Sub Zero's ice clone. Same thing, just with water.

*Katy picks up Troy.*

Filipe: Why?
Katy: *grin* Later Filipe.

*Katy leaves the area with Troy.*

*Terrell crashed through the window of Lex's office, landing acrobatically. He looked at Darrius who was holding radiation in his palms.*

Terrell: So I guess your bitch ass finally stopped running. Now all I have to do is kill you.

*Terrell charged at Darrius with his incredible speed,*

*Katy reappears at Iliria mansion, bringing Troy in to Iliria's room, laying him on the floor. The ice spike which pieces him slowing becoming more red with blood.*

Katy: It's done, as you requested. So, we in now?

....................................

Jin: Didn't I tell you.
Shawkun: Hmm, she's much better this way.
Jin: Isn't she.

"Iliria looks on, slightly amazed and amused"

Iliria: Alright Katy...what did they do to...
Katy: Nothing...why would you ask?
Iliria: Because...even IF you just got sick of it, even if you're evil...you loved Troy. I know this better than anyone. And love like that...isn't easy to just betray.
Katy: I just...why do you care!? I killed him!!
Iliria: But I didn't WANT you to kill him...I wanted you to suffer for being in love...and this "points to Troy's body, slowly bleeding out" isn't suffering...at least not enough to please me...I could always...

"Iliria grins again, and Katy starts seeing in her mind every single moment in her life spent with Troy, repeating in a way to jam it into her mind so she can think of nothing else. However, she overlaps this with the very moment she launched the attack on the neck"

Iliria: Now then...suffer a bit. If you don't. your mind has been altered and I can't trust you...

----

"I nod"

Me: I'll go get him right away. Hold up"

"I turn to organic ice and then mist, porting towards James' house"

----

"James sighs"

James: It's just...I agree with you but...we're...happy, peaceful. I didn't want to mess that up. Or I would have joined the SXM again...

Katy: You... you bitch... It isn't enough I just killed the man I love is it... I, I just...

*She had ignored her emotions to accomplish her job, her task, she would be weak no longer, held back by such things. But now, thanks to Iliria she has no choice but to face them. And as the full impact of her actions slowly kick in, Katy can't help it but to break out into tears as the images keep replaying in her mind.*

"Iliria starts to laugh, much like how she laughed when she turned Marie on Milo, and much like how she laughed when she made Yamairo fight the mirror image of Isabel in the homunculus she sent to fight him"

Iliria: Oh I love you people...you value love so dearly and yet

"She stops the telepathic attack"

Iliria: It always, but ALWAYS, comes back to cause you nothing but pain and suffering. You're weak minded fools.

*Katy wipes her tears from her eyes.*

Katy: So, are you happy now?

*It's still hard for Katy to put it all behind her, Iliria forcing her feelings to emerge and Troy's body lying in front of her. She still coops with it best she can.*

Katy: So, we in or not..? Sorry Troy, but it's time to face life how it really is... goodbye.

Iliria: I suppose...oh and you can save him...actually, I'll make it my first order, save him. Just remove the ice spike and stop the bleeding...I want to see you struggle to save him...and fail. And even if you DO manage to save him, he'll just hate you anyway

"Iliria turns her back to Katy and walks out towards the upper floors, laughing"

*Katy hastily removes the spike, then forms ice over the wounds to close it.*

Katy: This injury is... damnit, this better be worth it.

...................................

Shawkun: You want to check back in with your dear sister? hehe.
Jin: Nah, Spike helped, but I trust Iliria will take care of any attachments she has left. Then, I can truely call her my sister.
Shawkun: Hmm, you wanted that for Katy all along didn't you? Clever.
Jin: Yeah, the only part of the plot that might of went wrong, well, you might of killed me. Instead, I got a sweet bonus from you. If Katy do try to say something against you, I'll dismiss it myself anyway.

"Iliria goes up her stairs"

Iliria: Well things went well today...but that isn't to say I don't know you Shawny boy. I'm just waiting to see when the student will come after the master

---

"I arrive just outside James apartment. Inside, James looks up"

James: Well damn...

"Carmen smiled, kissing James"

Carmen: Alright then, you've inspired me to give up my superhero ambition. "Notices change in expression" What's wrong Jamsey?
........................
Kujon: Alright then, we'll call James.
Ezekiel: Yea..great

"Kujon pulls out his cell phone, and calls James"

Kujon: Yo, James we have some problems like major problems, William's out of it, we need you to get down here, and help us out.
.........................
Darrius: I ain't never run from you.

"Darius fires the blasts of radiation at Terrel"
.....................
"Lex appears in a lab area, filled with futuristic, and extraterrestrial technology, John, and Dimitri are seen in expensive clothing"

Dimitri: Lex you seem worried, what's the problem were on top of the world, in control of the World's lead organization against the mutant "problem"
John: Heh, heh, were both mutants
Dimitri: In charge, ironic isn't it
Lex: Listen, Bella's Project it's about complete, I'm going to head down there, then were going to offer a presentation to Mark, I need you to release some mutants, also Terrel went after Darrius, maybe send an Omega Sentinel down to my place to help him out
John: Alright then
Dimitri: Fine with me, I'll see nearby prisons available for this presentation.
...........
"Milo has recuperated, and quickly forms a Complete Clone of Peter, supercharging him, and sending him after Peter."

*Katy is still in the room, she's stopped Troy's bleeding, but that offers only some help, the spike pierced the throat. Likely hood of the windpipe and even spine being damaged is high. A healer could help, but Yama's group is mostly down, and even if they wasn't, how could she go back to them now. Showkun or anyone at the IC has to gain for helping either, so it won't happen. There are the others, but everybody will know as soon as Filipe reaches James. She had made her decision, and now, she has to live with it, watching as the life slowly drains from Troy's body.*

Katy: We had some good times, haven't we. I've done all I know how for you, but I doubt it can safe you now. I'm, I'm sorry Troy...

.............................................

Frank has heard a fight, and came out to see what's wrong.*

Frank: The HELLS going on out here?

Simon: Peter's fighting Milo

"As he says this, Peter's sent flying and lands just feet away from the X-Force, battered and bruised, he slowly gets up, only to get punched right in the gut and then kicked down, knocked out before he can heal himself or even move. Before Milo can move however, the Peter clone lands from above, apparently having been knocked out at the first blow"

Milo: Aaaaand done. I admit, I was impressed when he took out his own clone with one attack. But putting his eyes off me was enough

----

"James is about to answer when the phone rings"

James: Hey...Kujon...yes I know, Ice-Hands is

"And has he goes to tell Kujon, I appear in the apartment"

Me: James I! Oh...you're on the phone
James: "sigh"

Shawkun: Heh, Milo just took down Peter. I'm sure it won't be long now till the X Force fall. Then, it'll be time for the Avengers.
Jin: Your assisting MC on that one right?
Shawkun: Hmhm, you can never be to powerful.
Jin: So the Phoenix, now Surfer.
Shawkun: That is correct.

...................................

Frank: Looks like it's over... great, as if Troy wasn't bad enough.

Simon: Guys...get ready...

----

James: Alright Kujon I'll be there...

"He hangs up"

Me: I trust you know the problem?
James: Yep...
Me: Well? Are you helping?

"James looks at me and then Carmen"

James: I...
Me: James...I don't need to know why you don't want to help, because I already deduced it. But...I still need your help. We need it. So, for one last time...please?

"James sighs"

James: I...
