The Legion of the Killjoys

Battery City

{Author's POV}

     Andy drove the car through the desert, behind Party's car, with the new Killjoys behind them on their bikes. They kept a close eye out for Dracs and SCARECROWS ( I rewrote that three times, and now it doesn't look like an actual word!), since Party had warned them that the closer you get to Battery City, the more BL/IND operatives appear. Andy and the Legion didn't know what to expect from Battery City, but they were definitely shocked to see a tall, grand Utopia that seemed to glisten in the desert sun. 

     "That's Battery City?! That place looks amazing!" CC gasped from the back seat. They soon learned it was not so amazing when the group pulled into a tunnel. They looked up ahead and saw a booth with its gate down. Outside the booth was a person wearing white pants and a white shirt, with a black vest. A white mask with a black smiley face covered their head. 

     A draculoid sat inside the booth. Once they noticed them coming, the soldiers immediately scrambled to grab their weapons, the drac coming out of the booth, and began firing on the Trans-Am. Andy prepared to slow down the car, thinking that Party was going to stop and quickly take them out, but instead watched in amazement as he sped up, plowing right through the enemies and the gate as if it were nothing at all. 

     Andy looked over at Ashley in shock. "These guys are insane," he said, laughing. The others were smiling, as well. Andy laughed and kept driving.

     Eventually the rebels pulled to a stop in front of a large building, with a wide bridge out front leading to the door. The skyscraper had the smiley face from the mask earlier plastered on the front of it. Underneath that read, "BL Industries". The Legion followed as Party, Jet, and Kobra climbed out of their car. Nicotine, Killer, Razer, and Nebula all climbed off of their bikes and met up with the others in front of the bridge. 

     "Well, what do we have here?" someone asked. The seven Killjoys instantly raised their guns, but lowered them when two Killjoys walked out of the shadows, hands up as a sign of peace.

     "Don't worry. We aren't here to fight you. We're here to help." a different voice spoke, a younger girl with black and dip-dyed blue hair, green eyes, and pale skin. She wore a purple t-shirt under a denim jacket, with blue jeans and black boots. 

     "And you are?" Party asked. 

     "Death of You. Nice to meet you, Party Poison. And Kobra, Jet," she said. 

     "Cool name. Never heard of one with three words," Razor spoke up. 

      That got a laugh out of Death. "And who are you all?" she asked. Nicotine answered, "Nicotine Gun, Killer Poison, Black Nebula, and Radio Razer," she introduced, gesturing to each in turn. 

     "Well, nice to meet you all. This is my partner, Toxic Fun," she said. 

     Toxic wore a black and blue, galaxy-style crop top with a black leather jacket, blue jeans, and combat boots. She had slightly curly, royal blue hair and brown eyes. "Nice to meet you guys!" she said excitedly. She turned to Andy and the rest of the Legion. 

     "So, you guys must be this 'Legion of the Black' Dr. D's been telling us about. The one's with the weird powers from some...other dimension?" she asked. The five boys smiled and nodded. 

     "I'm Andy, and this is Ashley, Jinxx, Jake, and CC." Andy said.

     "So, this is it, huh?  Better Living Headquarters?" Jake asked, looking around at the place. 

     "Yep. If Control is working with Korse, he'd be in there. This is the base of operations. Now, our job is to find Korse, and Control, and take them out. We need to be careful, they have Dracs and BL/IND drones everywhere, those guys with the masks you saw in the tunnel. Be careful if you see Dracs with black X's on their shoulders, those are SCARECROWS. They're higher ranking, and more dangerous, than Dracs or Drones," Party explained.
