The OutCasts

Chapter 10: Knock-Knock

Hot Ice:

"Where are they," I think, flipping my left hand and forming a fireball above it. Throwing the fireball, I set a shopping cart on fire. As the people run, some accidentally step onto the ice and slide around. A man screams as he slides right into the cashier's counter.

"They're coming," the boss replies, speaking through the earpiece he gave me. "Be ready, and remember the plan. To retrieve the flash drive Nitro lost."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," I say, flipping my right hand and forming an ice ball. Throwing the ice ball, it hits and breaks a t.v screen.

Shooting out my hands, I unleash streams of both fire and ice. While fire rains down on one half of the store, it starts to snow on the other half.

On the verge of melting some more t.v and freezing some people, something hits and knocks me to the floor.

"What in the world," I yell, holding the back of my head as I push myself up. Looking around, I see a girl with yellow hair and google on them. She's wearing a sleeves-less white shirt with red pants. Also, in her hand is a blue, red, and white shield.

"Let's me guess," I say, back on my feet. "You're Ms. Justice. Where are your friends?"

"Behind you," someone answers, and I turn around. Standing behind me is a knight in a red suit of armor and an elf with a black shirt and grey pants.

"Weird," I thought, "There's only three. I thought there were supposed to be four."

"Give it up, buddy," Ms. Justice says, lowering herself as she prepares to throw her shield. "You're outnumbered. Three to one."

"That's true," I say, smiling as I flip my hands, "But in this case, this one guy can more than handle the three of you!"

Ms. Justice:

Even before SpeedBlade can stop him, 'Fire Ice Man', fires fire at him and forces SpeedBlade back. JumpStart charges toward him but he freezes the floor and causes JumpStart to slip.

While JumpStart screams as he slides, SpeedBlade screams because he's starting to smoke! Smokes raising from his armor, he quickly runs to the other half of the store and jumps into the snow.

Yelling as I charge toward 'Fire Ice Man', he turns around and fires an ice beam. Jumping and flipping over it, I hit his hand with my shield and knock it down. With the ice beam stopping, I punch him across the face and knock him back.

Silent:

I watch as Hot Ice and the OutCasts battle each other in the store. Ms. Justice hits Hot Ice, he stumbles back and raises his left hand. Shooting a stream of fire, Ms. Justice blocks it.

"Strange," I think. "Ms. Justice, JumpStart, SpeedBlade, but no QuickShot. Where is QuickShot? Hmm."

I conclude that since QuickShot is not here, she must be in the OutPost. I take a minute to reevaluate my plan.

Turning away, I walk down the stairs and down my lair's hallways. As I walk, I pass Unstoppable and my servant-bot.

"Master," my servant-bot asks.

"Remind here for now," I command, "I have an errand to run."

Moving in and out of the shadow as I make my way through the city, I stop at a manhole cover located in the center of the city.

Grabbing at the cover and pulling it off, I jump down into the sewer. As I run through the sewer, I ignore the water splashes while wiping a few droplets off my mask.

Finally, after making my way through the sewer's many different passageways, I stop at a brick wall.

"Knock knock", I say, stepping on the button.
