Chapter 16: The Stunning SpeedBlade

SpeedBlade:

Screaming as I push myself off the ground, I jump into the air and pull back JumpStart's stun batons. Heavy Metal blocks his arm, he tries to punch me but using my speed, I run out of the way.

"Oh no," I say, tapping the batons against each other. "Something is wrong. They're not working. Wait, what did my brother tell me? Something about switching and buttons."

I examine the batons, but I don't see anything. I don't see any switches or buttons.

"How do I use these," I say, looking all over them. "How do I use these?"

As I search all over for anything, I feel the ground shaking. Looking up, I see Heavy Metal He running toward me. Pulling back his arm, he sent it flying forward.

Barely dodging his giant metal fist, I turn around, and that's when I see his other arm. Swinging it, it hits me and sent me flying through the air.

I sail through the air before falling onto a roof.

"I am thankful I have armor," I say as I push myself up. Thankfully, despite being hit and flying through the air, I still have the stun batons in my hands.

Now, standing on the roof, I look around for Heavy Metal. It seems he disappears. I can't even hear his footsteps anymore.

"There is no way he walks away," I say, standing on my toes to look past the walls. As expected, there isn't anyone. "So if he didn't want away, and he's not in the open, where is he?"

Still scanning the area, I stop when I hear something coming from beneath me.

"No," I say when a hand breaks through the roof and grabs my leg. Pulling me through the roof, I find myself dangling in front of Heavy Metal.

"You and your friends were no match for me," Heavy Metal says, pulling back his fist. Looking around, thinking of what I could possibly do to escape, I forget about everything when I see Heavy Metal shoots his fist forward.

Crossing my arms, I prepare for another trip through the air. However, before Heavy Metal can hit me, something else hits him instead.

A net hitting and covering Heavy Metal, he screams and drops me. While Heavy Metal steps back, I look behind me to see QuickShot limping. She's limping, but she also had her bow in her hand.

She smiles and nods at me.

"Thank you," I say, smiling and nodding back.

"Don't thank me yet," QuickShot says, pointing past me. I turn back to see Heavy Metal ripping off the net QuickShot fired. Tearing it in half, he drops the two halves.

"QuickShot," I yell as I step back and examine the stun batons. "You know machines, right? You know how technology work."

"Sure," QuickShot says, twitching as she prepares another arrow. "Why?"

"Because I need your help. How do I turn the electricity on for JumpStart's batons?"

"I actually don't know," QuickShot replies, "I never use them before, so I never ask."

"Wonderful," I say, watching as Heavy Metal stomps toward me. "So you can't tell me anything?"

QuickShot:

"No," I say, looking around, "But I know the best person who can."

Still looking around, I see JumpStart getting up from under a fallen roof. He pushes the roof off and dusts himself off. Moaning as he tries to gather his bearing, I fire an arrow that lands near his foot.
