The Strongest, by AnonymousEon

Chapter 17

It was early in the morning the next day. Electrolite had just woken up from a deep and comfortable sleep. After all the fights with the monsters, he needed a deep sleep. Using his powers, he trained his mind to feel as if he slept longer. He stayed up ti'll 12:00 at midnight and woke up at 6:00 a.m., but felt as if he slept for a good 10 hours. The hero was prepared for what would come.

He had a feeling that the last Jordeman would come up soon, whether it was the next hour or the next minute. He wasn't sure when or where, but knew that it would come. Electrolite wanted to do this alone, but knew that if this last one was the strongest out of the ones he fought it would take more than one hero to take it down. Andras was already willing to fight the last monster with him, but the young man needed a third member. Although he really wanted him to help, Agent Red could not come and fight with him, since he was on a mission in Russia, fighting terrorists and taking out cartels.

Thankfully, he was able to get ahold of him, Sullivan Greyson, who was fully recovered after the fight with Diamond Skin, his powers allowing him to heal from fatal wounds in under 12 hours. Electrolite asked him if he could come and fight alongside him and War Man against the last Jordeman, to which he said yes. Now, there was a knock on the door. The young hero answered it and right there, standing on the front porch was Greyson, fully dressed in his dark clothing, carrying his sheathed katana.

"I'm glad you could make it." Electrolite said with a hopeful smile.

Greyson nodded, he chuckled lightly. "I'm glad I did. Whatever we're about to face, if it's this big, I'll fight by your side. Say, where's Red?" He asked.

"He's busy, actually, in Russia, fighting some baddies. He couldn't come, but he would've."

"Yeah. You did say there was someone else who was coming to help us, right? Their name was Pole-most Andrews?"

"Not even close. His name is Polemos Andras, you can call him War Man."

Right after Electrolite said that, someone fell from the sky, landing hard on the street in front of the young man's house. Andras was wearing his warrior attire, carrying his melee and ranged weapons. He had arrived and was ready to battle.

"Well, looks like he made it." Electrolite said.

Greyson was in awe to see Andras, the warrior walking over to the hero and shaking his hand. "Thank you for taking me to the directions of where you live. These maps are hard to understand, for they are different from the ones back in Arizona." He said.

Electrolite chuckled a little, responding with, "Well, you do look like you've only seen nothing but training and ancient battle, hence the confusion and differences of our maps."

"Noted. Who is this man with us, Electrolite?"

"I'm Sullivan Greyson. I've known Electrolite for a good amount of time." Greyson said.

Andras let out a slight mighty laugh, and shook hands with the man. "Indeed, it is very splendid of you to come and join us. I assume you have great power like Electrolite?"

"I do, yeah, but our powers aren't the same, yet it'll help us fight against the Jordeman. What time do you think the last monster will come out, E?"

"Picked that up from Red, didn't you?" Electrolite asked.

"Indeed."

"Can't complain. I estimate the monster should come up in an hour and a half, maybe even soon. It's cloudy now and it will be all day, in case you were wondering. Either or, we've gotta be prepared for it to come and we have to make sure we don't lose. We don't want humanity to perish, I don't want it to perish..."

Andras spoke up, saying, "Humanity will not perish, Electrolite, I can assure you of that. We are fighting alongside you to save this world from the last of the evil Jordeman and I will continue to until I die."

"War Man's right, E. I don't want humanity to die either, and we're not letting some monster destroy it. We're with you." Greyson said.

Electrolite smiled. "Thank you, guys." He said. "Come on in, we're gonna have to wait a good while."

And they did. They waited for an hour and 45 minutes. While they waited, they sat and moved around, Electrolite watching the TV to see of any cataclysmic events, Greyson doing the same momentarily until Andras started picking up and messing with things he had never seen before. The warrior even dropped several glasses and plates, leading Greyson to teach the man what to do and what not to do. Electrolite ignored all of what was happening around him, the young man deeply focused on the television for any news outlet. Finally, after waiting, breaking news was being reported saying that buildings were suddenly being destroyed faster than the blink of an eye in City 50, State 13, the city was also its state's capital for it was the only city.

When the first of the disasters occured, it seemed as if an invisible explosion had decimated 18 city blocks, which then lead to buildings three by three being destroyed by a quick and strong force. Nobody could see it, but they knew it was there and had to be stopped. Electrolite jumped from his chair and quickly put on his hero outfit. He came out and opened the front door, Greyson and Andras following him.

He turned back to them and asked, "You guys ready?"

Greyson nodded, saying, "I am."

"Let us end this evil once and for all." Andras said.

The young hero nodded and immediately flew up into the sky towards the direction of City 50, State 13, Greyson used his powers to travel at tremendous speeds in the same direction. War Man began to leap high and far into the air, traveling alongside them.
