Chapter 57: Garden Gnome

"Are you kidding me? I just had a mission yesterday.." I groaned. "It's not my fault," Ronnie said, looking up from his laptop. "Don't blame me, i'm just the mission assignment guy." I sighed. "Fine. Who with?" 

  "Booster Shine. Aka Cedric Carter, son of Booster Gold." "Ced.. I thought he died?" "Nope. His dad, Booster Gold, saved him just before he fell into the flames. Ironic, isn't it? After that, Cedric knew he had to learn to save himself,"

  "Thanks to that, he became Booster Shine. He also works as photographer, as well as a Super. He's pretty good at the job already." I nodded. "Right, so what's the mission?" "Find Stallion, who's power is similar to that of Exron. She turns people to stone."

  "It's not a easy job. Troy and Passion will be assisting you." "Right, I'll be heading out then." I made my way out of the Super quarters, and out to the plane. Cedric was sitting in the plane, waiting for me. "Maroon! Long time no see, how've you been?" 

  "Not so great, Ced." I said as the plane door closed behind me. "Hello, Maroon." "Hey, Passion, Troy." "So what's the mission?" Cedric asked. "Well," I said, "We have to find and capture Stallion, a female monster similar to Medusa. She's like Exron."

  Cedric looked at me. "Stallion.. I know about Stallion. Ronnie thinks we can take her, huh?" "Well you were the best student at Mystic in your time. I'm the son of the Flash. Passion is very capable of taking down a villain, and Troy is great in hand-to-hand combat."

  Cedric nodded. "Right then, lets go get Stallion, shall we?"

  We had arrived on Rhode Island, the last recorded appearance of Stallion. "Alright, so let's find this--" Stallion appeared in front of us, conveniently. She smirked, looking around at her 'soon-to-be-garden-gnomes.' "Hello Maroon Allen, Passion Logan, Cedric, Troy." "Why did she address you guys without your last names..?" 

  "Like I said before, I've seen her before," Cedric explained. "Right after my dad saved me, Stallion came into the school to turn the survivors to stone. Luckily, me and my dad managed to stop her." "And for me," Troy explained. "Me and my sister came across her. Bad experience, though."
  
  Stallion growled, and she was angry.

  She shouted, "Stop talking and fight me, supers!" We all turned our heads. "Can't even have one conversation, can we?" Troy complained. Cedric shrugged. "No, no we can't."

  Stallion ran at us. "Alright, lets  go Troy, Passion, me, then Maroon. It's our strategy." When I turned my head, we had to get out of there. I shouted, "Out of the way!" I grabbed Passion's arm and we re-appeared on the boardwalk of the beach.

  "Quick thinking, Maroon." "Yeah, well I've learned to think on my feet." Passion nodded. "Right, then, so we wait for a signal?" I nodded, "Exactly."
"But what is it..?"

  Troy had appeared on the boardwalk. "This is the signal." "Gee thanks, I'll totally see that." Passion murmured, vanishing and reappearing on the beach .

  "Stallion's not the toughest tool in the shed, but she's good. Like thanos good," Troy watched as a part of the beach turned to stone. "Know what I'm thinking?" "Yeah?" "This is like Exron's sister or something. They have the same power and all that."

  "That argument couldn't even stand up to the penguin. Supers usually have atleast one power in common." Troy shrugged. "I guess so." We watched as Passion kicked Stallion in the stomach. "Stallion definitely isn't the sharpest tool in the shed either."

  Stallion's battle with Cedric was short. He had blasted her deep into the sand, and it took her five minutes to get out. In that time, it became my turn. "Go Maroon!" Passion shouted from the boardwalk. The others finally turned their attention to the crowd that had formed.

  "Move along! Nothing to see here..."
 
  I was on the beach, staring back at Stallion. "Are you going to just stand there, or will you fight me?" "I was waiting for you, Stallion, but alright." We ran at each other.

  I whipped our Salazar, and slashed at her. I got her side, and she growled.  
"You filthy pest!" "Thanks," I said glumly, putting Salazar back.

  She ran at me, and I stood there. When she was just a inch away, I ran at her. I was knocked into the air, and she was in the sand. She growled, and leaped up into the air. Now she was above me, and she looked down at me. She smirked, and punched me in the stomach. I was sent into the sand, hard.

  Stallion laughed, and landed near me. "You couldn't stay in your house, could you? Couldn't save your best friend? Puny, little, Allen,"

  "You'll never live up to your father."

  That was the last thing I heard before I became a stone statue.
