Team Blume

Part VIII - "Hot Head"

Part VIII - "Hot Head"

 The robots were programmed to fight, we had to defeat them as we would a potential enemy. We fought without weapons, just to pratice it. Amora gracefully knocked them down, Rea handled them very energetically and with ease, Makena strategically figured out how to beat them and Harmony was afraid to fight them because she would not want to hurt anyone even if he was an enemy. I was about to let the robots strangle me or whatever, so I didn't react for the first few seconds, but then the hallucination started. Even though the robot didn't say anything, it seemed to me that it did, pulling me out of my thoughts.

 Robot: "You will never be worthy to be a Blue Rose! Failure, unworthy of the air you breathe, do you think you are important to this planet? You are a villain, not a superhero, you will never be good to anyone! That feeling inside is your own conscience, it reminds you of all the mistakes you have made and you are slowly sinking into madness... Can you believe your own decisions and reason? Do you trust anyone? No... Because you're crazy. How can a madman like you be a team leader, when you can no longer lead yourself through life?! "

I knocked the robot to the floor and ripped his head out of the rage, throwing it against the wall with all my might, then kicked the rest of it until I calmed down and knelt next to the decapitated robot. The girls ran to me.

 Rea (scared): "Bro, how did you manage to cut off his head?!" I (to Makena, shaking): "I'm sorry, I destroyed the robot. I'll fix it somehow if possible." Makena (sitting next to me): "Let go of the robot, what about you? Is there a problem? " Me: "No... I got a little carried away. (with the first Team Blume's power I return the robot to its previous state) Here, it's good that it's material thing, if I had hurt a human I couldn't fix it this easy. " Harmony (looks at me): "Are you sure it's nothing? You're very tense, I can feel it." I (nodding my head negatively): "It's all right, maybe I didn't get a good night's sleep. If we're done for now, we can rest." Amora: "Yes, it was enough for today."

 Magnolia was telling us our next task. Magnolia: "The first task was linked with peace, the second with technology, and the next one includes a real war. The next destination is Africa, where Inferno is building his base to start a new world war, which certainly must not happen. He has an army eager to change and fight, so you won't be able to use too much diplomacy." Rea (excitedly): "Hey, this task is closest to me, isn't it? " Magnolia: "Yes. Climatic powers will not be of much use to you, they are equipped for all conditions, so the first will be the most important to you, and the fifth is available to you after you have mastered the first four." Amora (rejoices): "Do we have wings at our disposal?" Magnolia: "That's right. Now you have to be fearless, no matter how hard it may seem to you." Makena: "Can we hack those planes or some control device? " Magnolia: "No, I know you would like this to pass without conflict, but this time it is inevitable." Rea: "Come on, people, what kind of superheroes are we without action! (Looks at me) You just be like yesterday in a fight with robots and we win. " I (exhale): "Let's go and investigate the situation. Fourth Team Blume power - Blue Rose! (we all transform and move together)"

 We found ourselves in a base full of air combats, tanks and military vehicles, in the middle of Africa. Yellow Dandelion (creates a fan and starts waving it): "Uh, it is warm here! It was warm in Australia too, but this is unbearable." White Hyacinth (smiles): "I'm very comfortable here, my great-grandmother is originally from Ethiopia, so I feel at home. " Pink Tulip (smiles): "That's wonderful! I really want to hear the story when we have free time." White Hyacinth: "Okay, I'll tell you." Red Carnation (frowns): "Why the hell did you invent dresses that hide every inch of skin, I feel like a nun! All superheroines wear something more comfortable, only we are dressed from head to toe!" White Hyacinth: "Most female superheroes wear clothes that should emphasize their curves to attract a male audience, it has nothing to do with the missions they go on." Yellow Dandelion: "I would be ashamed to go around dressed as a Wonder Woman or something, these clothes are fine for me." Me (to Red Carnation): "Believe me, long sleeves are better protection when the sun is so strong. " Pink Tulip (imagines): "Wait, how come you haven't worn short sleeves so far?" Me (nervously): "People, we're on a mission, if your sleeves bother you or whatever, remove them with your powers, just so we don't mention the damn sleeves anymore! (everyone look at me in astonishment) I'm sorry, I didn't want to shout, I just want to investigate the situation. Be careful that someone doesn't see us, we won't fight today, we'll just gather information. "

 Not far from us a younger muscular man with longer black hair and beard formed; he was dressed as a warrior with metal armor, fur around his thighs, boots, metal bracelets, a brown round leather purse around his thighs, and a sword in his hands.

 Red Carnation (whistles): "Uh, handsome enemy!" Pink Tulip: "Shut up, he heard us!" Young man (raises his sword): "Who are you? Do you work for Inferno?" Yellow Dandelion: "No, we are against him." Young man: "Oh... (lowers his sword) Then don't worry - I will defeat him! You can watch my triumph!" Red Carnation:" Hey, boy, do we look like some girls waiting for the boys to do everything for them? And where did you come from?" Young man: "I am Andor, the greatest warrior who is currently walking the earth! I came to defeat Inferno with my skills!" Pink Tulip (to us): "Someone seems to have overestimated himself. " Me: "We are going our own way, we will not come into conflict because we have no need for that. (we walk past him)" Andor (stops us):" Who's in charge of this team of yours? " White Hyacinth: "Blue Rose. (points at me)" I (shrug): "I don't see why that matters because we don't have one person to impose as a leader here, but you could say so. What's the problem?" Andor (approaches): "These are things for fierce guys, don't interfere in things that are not for you, you will get hurt. Go knitting, cooking, babysitting, stuff like that, not fighting to the blood here, it's not for a woman, you're sensitive. "

 I created a needle and stabbed him lightly in the arm, to which he screamed, and then I created a knife and without a word cut my arm, to the astonishment of him and the girls around me.

 I (look him in the eye): "You are right, we are sensitive and do not endure pain, but I see that you are very tolerant of the most common sting. Don't worry about us, look after your business." Andor (surprised): "I didn't expect this ... Well, let it be. (We go forward, he stays behind) Had I just been put down by a girl? (frowns)"

 Pink Tulip (when we moved away, worried): "How is your arm? Why did you do that?" Me: "To show him that a woman is very capable of enduring pain. Just because a woman is considered weaker does not mean that we are weaker." Red Carnation (joyfully): "Uh, I love that attitude! Well, we could fight him if we had to, but... (turns to look at him) Uh, he's very handsome. I'd take him to another ring, if you know what I mean." Pink Tulip: "You just met him!" Red Carnation: "And what's the problem with that? I wouldn't marry him, I'd just... you know. (turns again) Although who knows. (laughter)" Yellow Dandelion (to me): "In the future, don't defend your opinion like this, you can get seriously injured! Look, you're bleeding because of nonsense." Me (indifferently): "I was bleeding because of bigger nonsenses, but thank you for caring. Okay, we've seen how things are, we're going to make a strategy. There are a lot of vehicles and soldiers, but we haven't seen Inferno." White Hyacinth: "He's just one man leading them, unlike Glich and Selina he probably doesn't have any power or technology with him." Red Carnation: "But that's why he has a weapon, he's equally dangerous." Yellow Dandelion: "Can we peacefully persuade the soldiers to stop fighting?" Red Carnation (laughter): "Wait, are you serious?" Me: "Wish we could. You could reach several of them, but for the rest you would need quite a lot of time to persuade each of them with exactly that reason that means to him. I would like people to just stop hating, but hatred is a difficult and altered form of survival instinct. That's the problem, they think they're doing the right thing." Pink Tulip: "Then they just have to change their motivation, the fight for some positive things instead of destroying people and the planet." White Hyacinth: "Red Carnation will take care of that in the end, she is perfect for this task, our task is to take Inferno down. Oh, don't forget that enemy who killed the previous two enemies, maybe we're his target too." Yellow Dandelion: "Of course, if something like this happens this time, it is certain that there is someone else, but it does not necessarily mean that he is a villain!" Me: "It's okay, in any case that creature would chase me, whatever it is, so you would be ready if something happens to me. Let's see what we should do with Inferno and his army. "
