Yay! Here's the season finale!
------------------------------
Chapter 14; Screech
------------------------------
The two heroes speed toward the explosion to find a bank robbery. 'I got this' Wraith says, 'Watch and learn'. Ohm crosses his arms and hovers over the street. With his last word Wraith jumps from building side to building side down to the ground and takes out his spear. It extends and as he speeds toward the group of thieves knocking them over 1 at a time in a furious motion of using his weapons, not killing them, but pinning them to the wall so that they can't escape. After a few minutes, Ohm hovers down as Wraith approaches him.
Wraith: How's that? (He says with confidence)
Ohm: Not bad.
Ohm shoots his hand straight at Wraith, out of instinct, he ducks and the energy hits a thief that he missed blasting him into the wall, knocking him out.
Ohm: Missed one.
Wraith: Meh, coulda' warned me.
Ohm: Where would the fun it that be? Besides, I couldn't let you have all the fun. (He says with a smirk)
Suddenly, a screech with deafening proportion pierces through the street knocking both Wraith an Ohm off their feet. Covering their ears, they stand up with great difficulty to see a figure at the end of the street holding his arms straight out. Something is on top of his arms, but it's impossible to tell at this distance, especially at night. When he sees the two heroes get up he runs off around the corner thus causing the noise to stop. 'After him!' Ohm yells as the two superpowers dart towards the end of the street, they turn to find no one is there.
Wraith: Who was that?
Ohm: I don't know but I intend to find out.
Ohm heads back to his apartment with Wraith. As Mike and Ron look through different material on recent events an alarm goes out on Mike's police scanner that Potentia has escaped from jail and is in hiding. All of the sudden a man in a pure black jumpsuit with 5 white rings, one inside the other, on his face mask interrupts the scheduled program. The man and Potentia are standing in a blank white room.
Amp: My name is Amp, I'm sure you all have met my lovely partner. (The camera turns to Potentia, then back) I trust that everyone in this city has already heard the power of my sound device? (He holds up his arms showing a electronic tuning fork device on both arms). That was just a small demonstration of my power, but enough to knock two superheroes to their knees. (Ron and Mike frown) The city has given me a weapon in that, when I turn on the juice, the sound will be so loud it will literally shatter human bone within a 50 mile radius. My demand? 1 million dollars into my on-service account by dawn, otherwise Manhattan will have its last rave. (The T.V. goes out)
Ron: We gotta do something.
Mike: Don't jump ahead. He said the city gave him a weapon, how? There were no huge sound devices that needed police transport as I recall.
Ron: What about some sort of radio tower?
Mike: ... What if the weapon IS the tower?
Ron: You lost me.
Mike: Hasch Ind. One of their towers is shaped like a giant tuning fork; it was built for free for Steven Hasch in honor of his generous services.
Ron: He'll hook up his sound device to the tower's metal structure causing it to act like an overgrown tuning fork! (Ron looks at the clock) We have 10 minutes to get over there, move move!
Mike and Ron both almost instantly change into their suits; Ohm flying out the window with Wraith running down the wall onto his bike and in seconds their off towards the tower. 6 minutes. As they approach it, they see Potentia standing idol in front of the entrance.
Potentia: Guess who is back?
Potentia throws up her arms as 2 fly-traps come up from the ground, one grabbing Ohm in its jaws and the other grabbing Wraith's bike. People flee the scene here and there as Wraith flies off his bike and away from the flytrap catching his balance in mid-air, then, in mid spring, and in mid flip, he throws the stars at Potentia, without moving, she raises a root to take the hit. His bike automatically let's loose a series of explosives killing the fly-trap. A giant surge of light explodes as the fly-trap holding Ohm bursts into flames and falls to the ground. Ohm, circled with energy gently floats to the ground where Wraith landed.
Potentia: This--is going to be fun!
Potentia yells in fury as five huge vines grow up from the ground to sky scraper length--and spawn purple and green flowers. As soon as they blossom, huge barbs shoot down at two heroes. Side by side, the two heroes exchange the same smirk as they have the same idea. Wraith takes a dozen or so stars and flings them at each barb and flower, Ohm then charges them with electricity so they sear in and out of the vines ending their parade of color.
Potentia: Little help here...
Amp: Just tuning up... (Ohm and Wraith both look up to see Amp on a building) Tell me if you like this note.
4 minutes. He blasts a screeching noise louder than the one before; Wraith is knocked back into a car as Ohm is knocked back into a building. Hands covering his ears, Ohm is unprotected as a thick vine shoots straight into him blowing him back through the rest of the building.
Potentia: Dibs on Sparky!
Amp drops down to Wraith holding the noise makers next to him, in agony Wraith takes his axe and chops the tuning forks clean off of Amp. 'Damn!' Amp yells as he picks Wraith up still recovering from the splitting pain, and tosses him into the light post. Meanwhile, Ohm who is recovering as well, flies up from the building to see 2 more barbs flying at him. 3 Minutes 'We don't have time for this!' With his last word, he unleashes, at the top of his lungs, letting out a deafening explosion as pure energy envelops him crackling here and there. He screams as he charges up, the barbs hit the energy and disintegrate on contact. Potentia looks in awe, then in disgust as she turns her own arms into vines that grab Ohm's arms and legs so he's unable to escape; and tosses him from building to building like a rag doll.
1 Minute. During this, Amp and Wraith are exchanging blows, Wraith leaps back pulling out a huge sword from his back, then going lunging forward, he hacks away at Amp's armored suit slicing off piece after piece stunning Amp after each hit. Then, in one fluid motion, he disappears and reappears behind Amp; with a single strike, Amp is knocked out.
Wraith: I'm going for the device! (He leaps from the building side to the tower and runs up into an open window)
Ohm: (Being swung from building to building) I'll--take care--of this--pain!
30 Seconds. Ohm then spins at super speed around Potentia wrapping her vines around her. 20 Seconds. Wraith darts back and forth looking for the control panel knowing every second counts. 10 seconds. Still at high speed, he pulls the vines causing her to spin at a super fast in a circle. When she slows to a stop all dizzy, Ohm makes one solid punch knocking her out, and tosses her next to Amp. 5 Seconds. Wraith reaches the top center of the tower. 4, he spots the control panel at the other side of the platform and throws a star. 3...2...1--Crack--Bzzpp. The Machine cracks and explodes, Wraith breaths a sigh of relief along with Ohm who sees the small explosion from the street. Minutes later Wraith walks out of the building.
Wraith: That--was close.
Ohm: (Laughing) We did it.
Wraith: Justice, for the win! (They high five)
The next day at the airport, Mike meets up with Ron who's heading back to L.A.
Mike: So, what'd you think about this trip?
Ron: Action packed, I'm definitely coming back soon.
Mike: Here's to that. (Mike slips him the lightning bolt communicator making sure no one sees) I think you know what this is for.
Ron: I've got an idea. (Walking of towards the private plane and waving) See ya later Mike.
Mike waves back and watches as the plane takes off. He heads back to his apartment and gets comfortable; he notices a special report as he turns on the T.V.
Announcer: A letter dropped of here this morning by Ohm tells us that the new dark vigilante from L.A. calls himself "The Wraith" and that he's on the side of good. During the crisis last night with Potentia and Amp, Wraith and Ohm teamed up to save the city, here is our thanks to you two.
Mike smiles as he turns off the T.V.
------------------------------
I'd like to say that not everything in here has been my idea, many thanks to DC and MARVEL for some of the scenario ideas. The character Lectrohm on the other hand is entirely my idea. Also, a big thanks to Ron, for allowing me to use him in my story as well as the character, "The Wraith" which we molded some ideas of ours together to make one kick-arse character. Also a thank you to Philip, also based on my friend, and Rob (Schneider, my cousin) for being in the story. (Rob, if this ever becomes a movie I might need some help ) My final thanks are to you for reading the story.
Season 2 will start Sunday!
