Chapter 30: Sinking Ships and Evil Helmets

Chapter 30 already?!

There was a thick tension in the air, but this time it wasn't from anger or awkwardness: it was from excitement.

This might possibly be one of the biggest things we're gonna face: a secret society of super bad guys, some of which have never been completely taken down before, and we're being sent to the front lines.

Don't get me wrong, I was terrified: but I was also super excited.

"What's in the duffel?" Kid suddenly asked, breaking the silence. Everyone looked to Kaldur's spot to see a duffel bag sitting under it.

"Plan B." He said, strict but nonchalantly.

"Plan B? What's-""Argh!"

I was cut off by Megan groaning and keeping over in pain.

"You alright?" Conner asked.

"Dizzy..." Megan explained.

"Martian's get airsick?" Robin asked.

"She does look greener then usual..." Wally muttered, which didn't really make any sense but okay.

"Not me: her." Megan growled and Artemis and I looked at each other.

"I feel fine." We say in sync.

"Not them." Megan explained. "The bio-ship! She's trying to shield us but-"

The force of the ship suddenly hitting something thrust us all forward. The force was followed by a loud thud and the ship went spiraling out of control.

After a long moment, the ship stopped. We all groaned before we were met with the feeling of the ship being dragged down.

Suddenly lots of light streamed through and I looked up to see Black Adam ripping the top off of the ship. Megan screamed in pain.

"He's hurting her!" Megan shouted, clutching her head. In response, Conner leapt up through the hole and punched Black Adam.

We would have followed his lead if the ship hadn't started to sink and water steadily began to flow in.

"No! No way am I nearly drowning three missions in a row!" Artemis growled as I formed my air-bubble and dove under.

"Out! Everyone out!" Kaldur telepathically commanded.

As we got to the surface and crawled up onto land, the cool air of the Bayou hit us and the lowering sun made the Sandy Beach we had came onto look quite nice. I squeezed my braid, getting as much water out of it as I could.

My hair's gonna smell awful tomorrow...

"What about the bio-ship?" I asked as I saw it sink.

"She's I'm shock she'll need time recover-ah!"

Megan was cut off by immense pain hitting all of our heads and we all curled up into ourselves. I cupped k hands over my ears, trying to make it go away.

I was able to look up to see a man with white hair, a pale complexion and a dark green cloak standing over us.

"Vertigo..." Wally growled.

"Count Vertigo to you, peasant!" The villain scowled.

Conner came to everyone's rescue as he attacked Vertigo and punched him, making the attack stop.

Kaldur furthered Conner's assault by taking some of the river water and sending it straight into Vertigo.

"Robin, Miss Martian; disappear! We will keep them busy, you two fulfill the mission objective." Kaldur commanded, and before we knew it: Megan and Robin were gone and the rest of us prepared for a fight.
