Chapter 39

Heroes Unite

NOVA

We soared through the sky back to the place where it all started, back to where life is never the same. Heroteria City. We flew like a flock of birds leaving a trail of light from the sole of our rocket boots in the air, heading towards a colossal menace walking between skyscrapers.

"Listen up, everyone! You don't have to worry! We can stand together as long as we have each other!" Pagpapakalma ni Blaire sa kanila.

"There is nothing to fear in this world!" Maxllow said, raising her prosthetic fist and holding Brilliance's hand on the other.

"Where there is darkness, we are the light that will shine through it!" August said while sending a flying kiss to his wife, Julie.

"We are a family here! A family we must protect!" Soren chimed in.

"Kahit ano pa 'yan, kakayanin pa rin natin harapan ang hadlang at dilim sa mundo!" Gray encouraged while his face is beaming. He kissed the side of Blaire's temple.

"Fight for the future and the people worth saving! Fight for the planet Earth and the human race! Fight for a cause!" Sigaw ko, repeating Roman's mantra when he showed us the Burning World. When I turned to his direction, he was smiling.

I'm so proud of them. They managed to make the people smile and become brave with who they are and what they do. It's just amazing!

Naramdaman ko ang pagkakapit ni Roman sa kamay ko. Ang aming ngiti ay puno ng pagmamahal na hindi matitinag ng kahit anong hadlang.

"I love you, Nova Holliday-Everett." He kissed me while our lips are smiling.

Humarap ako sa kanya para ibulong ito sa kanya: "I love you too, Roman Horatius Everett."

We landed on the road where Sync couldn't find us. May plano kaming binuo para sugurin siya dahil sa laki niya, magiging kahinaan niya rin ito.

Sync's colossus Copycat shook the ground from each step it makes on the road. Humakbang ito palapit sa amin na may kasamang pagyanig. Dusts and rubbles are swirling around him like everything in his path and himself are wrapped in an aura from his source of power.

"When I extracted all of their Oddities, I made an experiment to combine all of it in one and I am the proof of the ultimate Superhero there is to exist." Malagim na tugon ni Sync. Huminto ang dambuhala niyang anyo sa harapan namin. Halos kasingtangkad niya lang ang mga skyscrapers.

"Akala ko ba gusto mo lahat ng tao maging Superhero?" Soren mocked, nilakasan ang boses niya para lang marinig siya nito. "Or are you just using that as an excuse to justify your actions because deep down you just want all the powers to yourself?"

Natatanaw ko si Sync sa ulo ng colossus niya. Ngumisi siya at inulanan kami ng palakpak nito na tila napabilib siya sa sinabi ni Soren.

"Imaginary, one of the most intellectual Superhero of all time. You just know everything, do you?" He smirked.

Soren frowned. He didn't took this as a compliment from a man like Sync.

"Not everything." Pagtatama niya. "I wish I knew how to better myself from the start but it wasn't easy. I wish I knew how to forgive myself back then. Kahit lumaki man ako sa pamilya ng mga criminal pero minahal ko sila dahil binigyan nila ako ng tahanan. Binigyan ako ni Roman ng panibagong pagkakataon para magkaroon ng pamilya na hulog ng mga bituin."
