Prison Guard Captain:

The guards and I run through the hallway as fast as we can. The siren is going on, its ringing echoing throughout. The alarm is flashing red, and one guard behind a window shoots us a thumb-up as he pushes the gate control. The massive iron gate in front of us opens, we all squeeze through before the guard shuts it again.

"Everyone get into position," I order, dropping onto a knee. Half the guards drop to their knees while the other half stand behind us. On cue, we all raise our blasters and aim down the iron sights.

All of us aiming at IronWall's outer gate, we focus every bit of our attention on it. It isn't too long before there is a deafening roar in the cold night air, and the ground starts to shake.

"Get ready," I scream, "Fire on my mark!"

My finger on the trigger, ready for anything, I then see the gate comes off its hinges and flies toward us.

"Everyone get out of the way!"

Screaming and yelling as we scatter to get out of the way of the flying gate, it barely misses us and instead hits the prison itself.

Moaning as I pick myself up, I look at where the gate was. Now a smoke cloud in its place, I see a massive shadow moving in it.

"Fire," I yell, getting up and shooting my blaster at the shadow.

What guards are able to get back up in time grab their blasters and fire. All of us shoot at the smoke cloud, the shadow then erupts from it, revealing itself to be Unstoppable.

A wanted villain, Unstoppable is a massive giant, with muscles bigger than boulders. Dressed in shining, brown armor, he roars as he crosses his arms. Now charging toward us, we are nothing more than cardboard dummies for him to run over. Running right through us, he then slams through the iron gate and into IronWall.

QuickShot:

We watch for a bit as Unstoppable rams his way through the prison's hallways, only stopping when he reaches an intersection. Five different hallways going in five different directions, Unstoppable picks one and is about to go down it but before he can, I shoot off three arrows.

My arrows hit the ground in front of him and explode, stopping him.

"Uhh," he mutters before looking up to see us.

"Stop right there," I say, grabbing another arrow and putting it in my bow.

"You know," SpeedBlade starts, pulling out his sword from his sheath. "Despite being from a different time, I know that people normally break out of prison, not into prison."

"I'm telling you," JumpStart chuckles, spinning his pair of stun batons. "It's all that charging and ramming he does. It's messing his head."

"No need to worry," Ms. Justice adds, her blue, red, and white, star-covered shield shining. "After the four of us knock him out, the doctors here can help him."

"You," Unstoppable groans, apparently recognizing us. Stomping on the ground, he then reaches down and pulls out a giant piece of concrete, pieces of rebars sticking out.

"Oh no," JumpStart says.

"Oh boy," Ms. Justice comments.

"Watch out," SpeedBlade screams, all of us running out of the way as Unstoppable tosses the piece of concrete. The concrete hitting the railing we were standing on breaks into two pieces and the four of us drop down onto the ground floor.

"Outcasts," I shout, pulling back the bowstring. "Onward!"

Not wasting another second, we all attack Unstoppable.
