John, Frostina, and Shawn walked out of Disaster's office.

"I'm surprised." Shawn said. "There was nothing in there except papers with strange writings and drawings."

John sighed.

"Let's not waste anymore time." He said. "Let's go."

"Oh, you're not going anywhere." A voice said ahead of them.

They all looked, and saw it was  Earlia.

"Oh, Earlia!" Shawn said. "Are you okay?!"

She avoided eye contact with him.

"Yeah." She muttered.

Frostina frowned. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." She said a little louder,  with a bit of anger.

"Are you feeling sick or something?" John asked.

Earlia slowly looked up to him, and tightened her fist. 

She then punched him in the face. John almost fell backwards, but caught himself before he did.

"Earlia?! What was that for?" Shawn cried out. "I mean, I get were the 'bad guys', but do you really have to do that after he came to save you?"

Earlia glared at him.

"Oh, shut up. All of you." She snapped.  "I didn't ask for any of you to come after me, did i?"

John rubbed the side of his face as blood dripped out of his nose.

"Oh." He said. "I see what's going on here."

John rubbed his bleeding nose.

"He told you to kill us, didn't he?" He said.

Earlia smiled.

"And what if I decided to do this on my own?" She said.

"Either way," John said. "I didn't come here to fight you. I came here to fight him."

Earlia covered her mouth, then started to laugh.

"You don't have a choice." She said. She raised her hand in the air, and purple electricity flickered around it.

John looked at the purple sparks.

"Alright then.." he said. "Why don't you go ahead and hit me with that?"

"I was going to!" She shouted.

(From now on, there will be different POVs in this story.)

John's POV

Her purple hand sparkling with electricity reached for my chest.

With a simple flick of her finger, stinging burning pain spread throughout my body.

I gritted my teeth,  trying to not make any noises in agony, but I was going to feel a lot more pain next.

Her fist smashed into my jaw, and I slammed into the wall behind me. I gripped onto my chin  in pain, and rubbed my now bleeding lip.

I stared right into her eyes. 

"That all you got?" I said.

She tightened her fist and grinned.

"That all I got?" She said. She laughed. "I said I was going to kill you, right?"

(You guys probably didn't know this since it was rarely mentioned, but Earlia wears  an eyepatch on one of her eyes. Why? Because it hides her secret power.)
