Looking for a Hero

7

They made it back to the city right on time to see the creatures arrive. They were more like clear gooey blobs than anything.

"Those look like the ones from the lab," Crimson said.

"How'd you defeat it?" Marcus asked.

"We didn't. We all got captured," he admitted.

"This is the same one that took Sharkboy and I done," Crushing Low said too.

"My electricity didn't do anything to it," Red said.

"And my lava fizzled out," Lavagirl said.

"It's slimy, so I got stuck in it," Blinding said.

"Which means my swords are useless," Marcus groaned, "Not like I have them now anyway."

They all stared at the creatures trying to figure out what to do.

"What if I punched them?" Miracle suggested.

"You'll get stuck," Vox sang, "Even my voice couldn't penetrate those beasts."

"Shark frenzy is out of the way, and there's no sea life around here," Lavagirl added too.

"Well... we can't let them hurt the citizens, so let's do what we can to keep them away," Marcus looked at them for confirmation.

"Right," they agreed and flew towards the action.

Vox dropped Marcus, and he ran towards the creatures first. He used his magnetic abilities to pull vacant cars at the creatures to beat them down.

To their horror, the creatures just began to absorb the cars instead of slowing them down.

Vox sat down Crushing and began to use her voice to try and lift the creatures into the air.

Crushing began to break the roads apart and use his strength to pick up the gooey beasts by the concrete they were underneath.

That worked for a moment before they oozed themselves back to the ground.

Lavagirl used her lava to try and keep the creatures balled up. Her magna solidified when it contacted the oozy creatures.

Blinding Fast dropped Sharkboy and Crimson down, who was trying to make the beasts exploded.

They just gooped back up again.

A large metal tentacle shot out and knocked Miracle out of the sky along with Red and Reena.

"Red!" Crimson shouted in distress.

"Reena!" Marcus called out.

Tech-No grabbed Red while an invisible force grabbed Reena.

"Thanks for you concern guys," Miracle groaned as he picked himself off the ground.

"Thanks Tech," Red said."

"No problem," Tech nodded.

"Thanks," Reena said.

"No problem," Invisi Girl appeared.

"I'm glad to see you two are okay," Marcus shouted at them.

"Oh, by the way, I grabbed these!" Tech threw two swords at Marcus while he threw a staff at Reena.

They both caught their equipment.

"I'm glad you remembered," Marcus smiled.

They all turned to see the metal tentacle bot flying above their heads.

"That must be Olgard," Reena said.

"We need to figure out how to defeat these creatures," Marcus reminded them.
