Gravity Heroes

Chapter 69

Delphi's Temple

Adam had been following the battle through the screens in front of him. He had already passed on info to Dipper, Wendy, and Grenda. He turned his attention to the rest of the group and began offering more info.

"Charger, sensors are showing that your opponent is starting to heat up. Don't worry, I know your armor can take it. I'm worried about the woods around you. I'm sure we don't want a winter wildfire happening though," Adam called out. He then tapped another button on the screen and said, "Vaccine, are you just going to stand there. If the guys a cold blooded killer, then you definitely need to keep him from...wait you mean the guy's cold blooded like a reptile? Ok that's interesting, so he's sluggish in this weather. Heck, just cuff him then."

"Freerunner," Delphi called as she scanned her monitors.

"Will... Desperado," Adam said as he again caught himself, "Break a leg, preferably his."

"Adam, I can't find Freerunner.", Delphi said as she looked over at the wall of screens, "And he's not responding to his earbud."

"Last I saw him he was chasing the character in the gray hoodie that was with the bad guys," Adam said as he started scanning over the screen.

"Freerunner, respond. Freerunner, this is Delphi respond.", Delphi called again through her monitor setup, "Come on Freerunner respond. Where are you Tony?"

Battlefield

Desperado was circling Polden' having already pulled the katana out of it's sheath. Though he didn't have his war-club, Polden' pulled out a pair of bowie knives. He was also already beginning to lose the limp he had earned from Desperado's thrown dart.

"So, you're not going with your pea shooters.", Polden' said as he looked over at his mortal enemy.

"No, we'll do this up close.", Desperado said as he prepared to attack.

The two of them kept getting close enough to attack before stepping back to prepare another attack. After a few minutes they were both covered with cuts and gashes.

"You've improved since we last fought," Polden' said while he wiped some blood off of his cheek.

"Well two thousand years of memory kicking in some muscle memory and mixed with practice will do that for you," Desperado replied before lunging again at Polden'.

Meanwhile

Yami kept jumping from shadow to shadow as he dodged blasts of ice coming from Winter.

"Stand still you little weasel," Winter called as she sent another blast to where he had been just seconds before. Her own shadow slowly slithered up her legs.

"Why would I want to do that?", Yami said as he appeared behind her. As she went to turn around she realized she couldn't move anything below her hips. She still tried to shoot a blast of ice at him, but he swung his tonfa upwards and with a nasty sound he knocked her arm towards the sky.

Elsewhere

Vaccine just stood there looking over at his opponent.

"I think he's cold-blooded," Vaccine said as he responded to the call from Adam at the Bunker, "No, I mean cold-blooded like a reptile. Well, I'll try."

"You'll try what little man," the snakeskin wearing gentleman said as he sized up Vaccine.

"Seeing if you'll let me just cuff you," Vaccine said as he slipped a pair of handcuffs out of his belt.
