Facade - Banginho/MinChan

Chapter Twelve

Ugh, why'd those little shits always have to show up and ruin the fun?

Chris looked back at Tekit and Slick, who both gave him short nods, before turning back to Strike and Mega. Chris grinned underneath his bandanna. "What did you say? I can't hear you. You're buried under too much hate from the general public."

Strike growled before shaking his head. "You may have done that to us, but we won't let you hurt innocent people either way. You will be going down, Crash!"

Chris raised an eyebrow. "Oh really now? I highly doubt that."

Chris used his telekinesis to raise two racks of clothing above his head. To his left, Tekit snapped his fingers, two large rocket launchers coming out of his back aimed straight at Strike and Mega. His robotic arm glowed a bright unnatural red, heat radiating off of it. Slick stood to Chris's right, his half-skeletal hand outstretched towards the pair of heroes. His body was already secreting toxic waste.

Honestly, somebody should've taken a picture of them at that very moment. They probably looked badass.

Mega shook his head disapprovingly. "That doesn't scare us."

Chris turned his attention to Mega, a wave of sudden nervousness and hesitance going through his body.

That was probably Minho right there.

It has to be.

He couldn't be Strike.

Chris flicked his eyes back to Strike, engaging in an intense stare-off. It was at that moment that Chris realized that it was strangely silent for a mall.

After about a minute, Chris growled, his voice dropping almost an octave. "Bring it on."

Chris rushed forward, Slick and Tekit running beside him. Strike and Mega rushed towards him at the same time.

Chris threw one of the clothing racks he was holding up towards the two heroes. Mega immediately clapped his hands together, generating a sonic boom to perfectly counter the unusual projectile. The rack of clothing exploded, shirts flying through the air.

Tekit launched a rocket towards Strike right after. Strike was about to counter the rocket, but as soon as he took a step, Slick threw a ball of toxic waste at Strike. Strike's eyes widened and had to duck, but it put him right in the line of fire of the rocket.

Mega let out a wave of icy wind, causing the rocket to freeze up and begin to drop to the floor. As soon as Strike got up, Strike kicked the rocket back towards the three villains.

What a power move.

Chris, in a panic, used his telekinesis to throw the icy rocket into the ceiling, the rocket immediately exploding as soon as it made contact.

Bad idea.

Pieces of the ceiling rained down in front of their vision, making Chris completely lose sight of Strike and Mega.

Chris' eyes wandered over the now dusty air, searching for the heroes on the other side, but with no luck. "Where are they?"

Tekit waved his normal arm in front of him, trying to clear the air. "I don't kn-"

Slick interrupted. "L-look d-down!"

Chris diverted his eyes to the floor, seeing a crack come out of the dust straight towards him. Chris yelped, jumping out of the way right before the floor opened out underneath him.

That was close.

Chris was about to speak up, but that's when he saw a beam of fire come through the dust, straight at him. Chris immediately fell to the floor, eyes wide.

Chris looked up at Tekit and then to Slick. "We need to find where they are!"

Tekit stared at the dust, his now-glowing robotic arm held in front of him as a defense. His robotic red eye scanned the dusty air. "I can't see them at all."

Slick shivered. "B-be quiet. Maybe w-we c-can hear th-them."

The trio stayed silent, the only prominent sound that Chris could hear was his own heartbeat thumping in his ears.

It seemed kind of scary, the anticipation killing Chris along with his nerves.

Then it happened.

Chris saw Strike silently emerge from the dust, his leg extended in a flying kick. His foot made contact with Tekit's chest, causing him to fly back into a rack of clothing.

Yikes.

The dust began to settle, Chris now being able to make out Mega's figure. Chris lifted up another rack of clothing with his telekinesis and throwing it straight at Mega's figure.

Chris saw, now clearly, the rack of clothing collide with Mega's body, causing him to fly back out of the store.

Chris ran towards Mega, his fists clenched. It was time.

Chris looked back, seeing Tekit and Slick fight Strike. Tekit made eye contact with Chris for a second, giving him a small nod.

Chris skidded out of the store, stopping in front of Mega who was now getting up off of the floor.

Time to get some answers.

A/N bruh this was so hard to write, I'm already bad at fight scenes, and this one having all five main heroes and villains didn't help at all. It was so hard to manage, trying to get every member have equal time in the fight and not make it awkward or unnatural is way harder than you might think. I hope it wasn't awkward or paced weird heh.

have a good day
