SheZow Reboot

Season 1, Episode 8: Strike in the Past. Part 2

Guy couldn't believe his eyes, looking around in shock. The town of Megadale... Now laid in ruins. Streets lied barren, surrounded with buildings, now looking old and abandoned. Crashed cars, debris and rubbish were littered around. The faint wind blew, making the dust that seemingly accumulated around for a few years rise up.

Guy was so shocked that he forgot about everything for a second - about aunt Agnes, about time travelling, about all of his recent adventures. He was trying to contemplate what he just saw. His mind was taken over by a lot of questions - what happened here? Why the town is like this? He took a few steps away from the museum, leaving the door wide open.

"Halt! Raise your hands so we can see them!" the strange voice sounded out of nowhere. Guy flinched and saw a group of people heading to him, having him on their blasters aim. They were wearing blueish bodysuits with metallic armor plates on and helmets with wide visors concealing their faces.

"Uuh, guys, could you..." Guy wanted to try and communicate, but the people quickly raised their guns, showing that they're not set to talk.

"No talking unless requested!" one of them shouted with a slightly computerized voice. Being held at the gunpoint made Guy gulp.

"We said, raise your hands and stand still" another one commanded, and Guy slowly did so. "And now, tell this data of yourself: identity, sector and affiliation! And don't even think of resisting! We will bring you to the Prime Leader, and he will be deciding your fate..."

"Whoah, slow down..." Guy shook his head. "What's the Prime Leader? As a hero of this town, I need to know what happened here?"

"Tell what's requested!" one of the soldiers said angrily. "There're no heroes in the town, the only order is the Prime Leader's will! And we are the honoured ambassadors of that will, so you listen to us and do what we say!"

"And if you resist and ignore the orders, the punishment will be immediate" added the other one, clicking something on his gun, and it began buzzing.

"Looks like you, guys, don't know who you're dealing with..." Guy said with a lowered voice. Shock faded in his mind, giving way back to the dark thoughts of recent happenings. "I had not the best day, so now I really feel like breaking something..."

"What are you talking about? Comrades, we have a rebel here, I think!" said the soldier. Guy suddenly put hands down, took two Boomerang Brushes and threw them at the soldiers. They hit one in the helmet, breaking through the visor. Other was more lucky, as he just had his weapon knocked from his hands.

"Fire!" he screamed, and others began to shoot, while he dialed something on his metallic bracelet. "We have an aggressive unidentified armed individual in Sector Five-M!" he shouted at the bracelet. Seemingly, there was a communicator in it. Meanwhile, Guy attacked at super speed, avoiding the shots, and took down two more soldiers. "The individual is a skilled fighter! We need backup urgently!"

Guy just kept fighting. The anger and despair he suppressed back then in the past now got the best of him, and he fought fiercely. He kicked the gun from one of the soldiers and then tackled him, throwing in his ally. He then performed the roundhouse kick on the other one. The helmet cracked and visor fell off. SheZow hit him again, making the soldier fall. Helmet flew off his head...

And Guy got yet another shock from what he saw. The soldier wasn't human - he certainly had a face of a monkey. With dark, wrinkled skin, wide nostrils, big ears and small eyes. Instead of hair there was brown fur covering his head and partially face. He was knocked out now. Guy's mind was once again flooded with questions as he sat to look at the soldier closely.
