He had some sort of new-found strength as he busted himself out of the tape. He ripped it off his mouth, grabbed his jacket and his mask, then jumped from the window of his dorm room. He did a backflip and landed in a superhero pose. He immediately started running to the record store.


The ground shook and rumbled. Henry knew that meant that the machine had been started up. There was an ear-splitting crash. People scrambled out of the record store as fast as they could. Henry walked in. The Macklemores were actively trying to stop Eminem and his minions.

Taylor Swift.
Nickelback.
XXXTentacion.
Blake Shelton.
Cardi B.
Justin Bieber. 

The Macklemores were doing a good job of fending them off, but they needed help. They all looked over at Henry when he jumped down into the basement, which had turned into a sort of vortex, swirling with cars, buildings, and various other things.

He jumped on the larger pieces of debris, tackling into XXXTentacion, who was running at Mackoy.
Mackoy whipped around. "KID!" He smiles widely.
"Don't worry! I've gotcha, sir!" Henry yelled.

XXXTentacion wasn't too happy about this. He was shoved off into the void. He caught himself with his dreads, which extended and dragged against the wall. He flew up. He was heading straight for Henry...

Then he got hit with a car.
Henry's eyes widened. "...Well, that was easy." he mumbled.

Next up was Justin Beiber. Henry fought beside Mackie, who was dodging and sidestepping every hit, but not landing one. Henry managed to trip Justin to the ground and land a few good hits on him before Cardi B came out and kicked Henry in the stomach.
"Get out of here, kid. This fight ain't for you." Cardi huffed raspily.
Henry narrowed his eyes. He got up to his feet and tried to jab at Cardi with his fist, but he missed and stumbled a little. He caught himself and did a backwards kick, aiming for nothing in particular. He caught her in the throat and brought her to the ground.
"What was that about the fight not being for me, or something?" Henry smirked as he grabbed her by the throat and threw her off into the void.
He turned his focus back on Mackie, who was taking care of Justin. He held him by the ankle, scowling. Henry snickered a little.

Henry jumped over to Macklemore who broke his gaze away from Nickelback, who he had pinned to the wall. Nickelback croaked and whined, trying to muster up any sort of awful sound. That was his superpower. Making awful noises that he considered 'music'. He pushed Macklemore off him, onto a piece of concrete that was suspending them in the air. Macklemore yelped. Henry growled and ran over, roundhouse kicking Nickelback in the stomach. "Not again," he thought. He pushed Nickelback off, but he fought back. He grabbed onto a falling car and jumped back up. He swung at Henry, now disoriented from the fall. Henry caught his fist and threw him back down. "STAY DOWN, THIS TIME!" He yelled, as he watched him fall.
Next was Blake Shelton. Henry was saving Taylor for last. He knew that would be the hardest fight, and Mackenzie seemed to be handling it, for now. Little did he know, Blake was going to be the easiest. He literally tripped on his own feet and fell, face first, into the void.

"Mackenzie! On your left!" Henry yelled as he jumped down. Mackenzie sighed in relief. She was being dangled by the ankle. Taylor looked over at Henry. Pure hatred filled her eyes. She dropped Mackenzie, who managed to catch herself on a sign and jump back up to the other Macklemores. She flew over, her wings beating like a hummingbird's. "Well, well, well... Look who decided to join the party. I'm all Eminem's got left, kid. And I'm a good enemy, if I do say so myself. So... Are you ready to tango?" The corners of her mouth twisted into a demented smile. Henry nodded. "Bring it on, Bird-Brains." Taylor charged at him, headbutting him in the stomach. Henry fell back, with a grunt, but crawled to his feet. He swung back at Taylor, growling. It was like a synchronized dance, of sorts. Taylor seemed to predict every hit that Henry tried to make. The fight seemed to be slowly numbing Henry's mind. The only thing he could see was Taylor's lips moving and the sweetest sound coming from it. He completely relaxed, still trying to swing, weakly. He could hear the Macklemores yelling at him.
"KID! SNAp oUT OF IT!" Macklemore yelled as loud as he could.
That made Henry jerk up. He was right on the edge of the concrete pad. Had he done that willingly. "No." He thought. "I wouldn't do that." She'd put him in some sort of trance-like state. He grabbed Taylor's wrists and twisted her around, throwing her into the void. She screamed. Loudly. Henry had to cover his ears.
Henry smiled at the Macklemores, who were drifting to the control panel. They put in the key.

Eminem pushed them away, onto another concrete pad. Mackoy had managed to twist the key, starting up the portal to get them home.

"I'LL HOLD HIM OFF!" Henry yelled. "YOU GUYS GO!"
The Macklemores gave him looks as if to ask if he was crazy, but they obeyed. Henry jumped over to the concrete pad and attempted to keep Eminem away. Eminem tried to float away, at one point, to which Henry pulled his legs down, slamming him onto the ground. Eminem kicked Henry's feet, making him fall. Henry yelped, helplessly as he watched him float away. It was too late.

Then Macklemore pulled him back down. "Nope! Not on my watch!" Eminem yelped.
Henry's eyes widened. "I told you to go! You could get stuck here!"
"And miss this fight? I think not!" Macklemore laughs. He punched Eminem in the face. Hard.
Eminem flinched and pushed Macklemore away. "DO I HAVE TO KILL YOU AGAIN?!" He roared.
"Ouch. That one stung." Macklemore rolled his eyes and swept at Eminem's feet.
Henry got behind him and pulled him down onto the concrete. He stood on Eminem so that he couldn't get up. But he could kick. He kicked Macklemore's legs.
Macklemore stumbled and fell, managing to grab onto something, before he got sucked into the void. He looked up at Henry desperately. "KID! Finish the fight! I'll get out of here and shut down the portal! I figure I'd have about 30 seconds to get out, if I shut it off!"

Henry looked down at him, his eyes wide. "Be careful!"
"I'm always careful!" Macklemore assured him.
Henry rolled his eyes and pulled Eminem to his feet. He punched him in the gut, causing Eminem to double over onto the ground.
"Get up." Henry said simply.
"What-?" Eminem faltered.
Then, Henry kicked him in the face, flinging him into the void.
Eminem yelped as he fell.
Henry watched him fall, grimacing.

Then everything fell. Macklemore had done it. Henry slinked out of the room, quickly. He ran home as fast as he could, but not before he hugged his dad around the waist.

Matthew faltered. "Uh... Do I know you...?"
"...No-" Henry shook his head. "I just wanted to thank you... You know- for being a police officer." He pulled away.
Matthew cocked his head. "Uh... Alright."
Henry ran back to his dorm and quickly changed into his pajamas.

He shakily took out his phone and dialed a number.

The person picked up.

"...Hey, dad. Let's talk." Henry smiles a bit.
