Part 11

Enjoy <3(No Art this time sorry :])

Suffocating. They couldn't breathe. It was like all they could inhale was dust. They couldn't cough. Their lungs just slowly filled up with sut and dust. 'I need to get out.' They thought. 'I need to breathe.' Their hand reached around hoping to find something, anything. Suddenly their finger brushed against something hard. Rock. They repeatedly pushed up against the rock. 'Air, please.' In one hard shove, the rock flung from its place. Their hand shot up, quickly trying to break out from where they were. As the heavy feeling of rumble slowly crumbled off them, there was a sense of relief and freedom. They took a deep breath of air... and then the pain began.

Stress's eyes shot open in a panic. Sweat ran down her cheeks as she sat panting in the silence of her room. Stress covered her eyes with her hands, why does she have to have these terrible nightmares. This was the second one she had had since the Mangler had shown up at Bdubs apartment. The first was right after Bdubs left after making sure she was ok, and now this. As she moved her hands from her eyes, Stress saw a quick flash of a distorted cut up face. She moved back in horror as her vision unblurred, taking the face with it. Stress threw her hands down onto her sheets in a panicked annoyance.

"God! Why does this keep happening?!" Stress shouted to herself. Now sitting in an awkward silence, not really wanting to fall back asleep, her eyes landed on her phone. She quickly reached over to her night stand and grabbed the device from its place. She needed to talk to someone. Stress paused as she held her finger over her contact list. 'No one's awake.' Her brain remembered. Despite that fact, she quickly scrolled to the very first person that came to mind.

Stress: Hey Iskall, you awake?

Iskall: Hallo! And ya, got stuck at a super late shift at the arcade. Everything ok?

Stress: Not really..Can you talk for a bit?

Iskall: Of course

Bdubs sat on the roof of his apartment building, his legs kicking back and forth against the hard brick. The hero anxiously waited, looking down at the streets below.

"Come on Come on give me something," Bdubs said in annoyance. It had been a week since he had gotten to do anything hero related and it was killing him. The beginner hero sighed as he folded his hands together, making a small light orb. That was truly all he could figure out how to do with his powers. Besides the additional energy boost and advanced movement, Bdubs didn't know what he could do. One day he hoped to make the orbs explode, he thought that would be cool. The hero squished the orb between his palms when he heard a loud explosion from a distance away. Bdubs stood up in excitement, quickly making sure his eyes were their tinted white shade. It was hero time. As Bdubs ran up towards the building, his eyes widened as he took in the scene. It was a mechanics and technology store. In the front there was a large hole blasted into it, with debris covering the floor. The hero stood as someone rose from the dust, when Bdubs saw who it was he smiled. The Mangler, who had been terrorizing the city for a while, stared back at the hero, his hands full of mechanical parts and a bag across his side possibly filled with more. The Villain did not look happy to see him.

"Oh... It's you again." He said in a low, annoyed voice. Bdubs smirked as he stood proudly.

"Because clearly no one else can do it." The hero said. The Mangler rolled his one human eye, as he set his bag of stolen items aside.

"Now, you're going to let me walk away, or I could just kill you." He bargained. Bdubs leaned forward in a taunting manner.

"You could try!" The hero said, summoning a single orb in his hands. The Mangler stepped down from the pile of debris. Confident, Bdubs ran full speed at the villain. The hero shouted in alarm as he was knocked to the side by an invisible force. The Mangler held his hand out and threw it to the side, causing Bdubs to go flying into one of the building walls.
