It had been a good last few days and Seraph was relaxing on a building. He had some training with Freedom Eagle tomorrow so he planned to just take today off. After relaxing and enjoying the breeze, he leaped off of the building and flew over the ground as the people cheered on Justice Lad. After flying around and waving to the people, he flew back up into the air and began flying around the city when he heard something in the distance. Something big was coming. Justice Lad flew up further and cupped his hand behind his ear to hear better. He was right. It was big whatever it was. Justice Lad gulped and flew towards the sound to see what it was. It didn't take long before he could see it in the distance and he stopped in his tracks, staring at the oncoming 107 meters tall mechanical giant heading his way.
Justice Lad stared in horror, shaking at the sheer size of the giant robot. It was far larger then the one he had fought previously and form the looks of it, this new one had far more weapons. He turned around and looked back on Paradise City. Justice Lad balled his hands into fists and then turned back to the giant robot. He knew that he could not let this giant get anywhere near the city this time. He looked at the ground below. A mountain area. Not the best, but he would have to fight it here. He flew to meet it.
Inside the cockpit, the pilot smiled as the computers picked up on Justice Lad. "Right on schedule. This time, you die." The two met up and Justice Lad flew up to it's head. "Long time no see kid! Like the shiny new outfit."
"Like the nightmarish evil robot."
The pilot laughed. "Yeah, this is my newest creation, designed specifically to kill you. This is my INSTRUMENT OF VENGEANCE! Get as mad as you want, you won't even scratch it!"
"We'll see, jerk. I beat you last time, I can do it again!"
"You got guts kid. But that's not going to save you this time!" The robot's eyes lit up and fired red lasers at Justice Lad.
Justice Lad flew down and backwards to avoid them but as he did the torso of the robot slid open and two guns popped out and opened fire on him. Caught off guard, Justice Lad barely had time to cover himself before being hit by bullets almost as big as he was. He was pelted by the bullets, his super durability protecting him but they hurt like hell. The robot stopped shooting and turned and smacked Justice Lad with his shield, sending him soaring through the air.
Justice Lad landed 10 miles away and dug a trench through the rocky ground on impact. He lay motionless for a few moments before rolling over on his stomach and slowly picking himself up. He fell down again and then got up again. He was hurting after that hit. Justice Lad groaned and shook his head. "Owwww..." He glanced around as he dusted himself off. "Where am I now?" He had landed in a rocky area without much cover, a forest in the distance, a few giant boulders, but that was it. Hearing the robot coming his way, Justice Lad quickly come up with a plan. He kept low to the ground and flew away at super speed.
The giant robot landed shortly after and began scanning for him. "I'm confident he landed around here somewhere..." He spotted the trench. "Well, I hit him pretty damn hard. But, there's no body, so where..."
(NOW!) Justice Lad circled around and flew back towards the giant, aiming at the back of it's right knee. He rammed into it with both fists at top speed, denting it inwards and causing the giant to fall on one knee.
"Huh? What's? Where?"
Justice Lad smiled and flew up on the giant's back and began punching it's back, shaking the giant and rocking the pilot. He looked at the computer's and found that he was on the robot's back. He smirked. "Stupid kid...don't underestimate me!" He pressed a button and millions of volts of electricity covered the robot. Justice Lad was right in the middle of punching away when he got shocked. He yelled out and jumped backwards. He landed on the ground and rolled to a stop.
The robot turned and stared down at him. "How do you like the Full Body Tazer? You really think I wouldn't have something in case you attacked me from behind?! WHO DO YOU THINK I AM?"
"A BULLY AND A THUG!" Justice Lad yelled back up at him as he got up.
The pilot laughed. "I gotta admit, you have nerves of steel. I however, have this!" The pilot said and opened fire on Justice Lad with his multiple Gatling Guns. Justice Lad was already flying when he saw them starting to turn. Which was good, as the guns didn't shoot bullets. They shot rockets. There were explosions everywhere as Justice Lad flew around as fast he could to avoid being shot, knowing it would be the end of him if they connected. He started blurring from the speed he was putting out and began to fly around the robot faster then it could turn, trying to make the robot use up it's ammo.
The pilot flipped switches and the upper torso of the robot began rotating around and around while shooting at him.
Justice Lad saw the shots coming and quickly flew downwards into the ground, breaking through it and making a hole. He then began tunneling underneath the robot.
The Vengence Robot jumped backwards and opened fire on where he had saw him tunneling down. The result was a virtual inferno and dozens and dozens of explosions as the rockets fired out from the Gatling Guns.
The underground below collapsed under the explosions and fire.
The robot leaned forward and scanned the area for signs of him. No sign of the young hero.
Just when the pilot was relaxing, Justice Lad burst out of the ground and flew up into the air at superhuman speeds and rammed into the robot's head, causing the robot to jerk upwards and stumble backwards a few feet.
Justice Lad saw his chance and flew down below the robot and attacked it's leg again, causing the robot to fall on it's back. "AHHHH!" The pilot was tossed about in the cockpit. He grabbed the controls and began to right it up. Just as it was starting to get up though Justice Lad flew up to the robot and punched it back down. "Stay! Good bad guy!" He taunted.
"YOU SONNOVA-!" The pilot activated the full body taser once more but this time Justice Lad was ready and flew away from it.
The robot got back up on it's feet and aimed the shoulder mounted multi-missile launchers. The pilot smiled as the computer's locked on.
"Uh oh." Justice Lad began flying up and away from the giant robot.
"HA! Run all you like kid, it won't do any good. These are special missiles. Once they lock onto a target there is no escape! HOMING MISSILES FIRE!" The Pilot pounded down on a button and all the missiles fired at once, roughly two dozen in all. Justice Lad's face went pale. "Ohhhhhh not good."
He began flying away to avoid them but they followed him. No matter how he turned, the missiles followed after him. He had distance from them which was all he had right now. He sped up as he tried to think of a plan. Glancing down, and then back at the giant, that idea began to take shape.
The pilot laughed as the young superhero struggled to evade his missiles which began to gain on him. "Ohhh man! This is hilarious!" Justice Lad flew downwards and grab up a 10 ton boulder. "And just what is he planning on doing with that? It's useless you know, the missiles are more then smart enough to dodge a simple toy like that."
"Good to know." Justice Lad smiled as he flew up into the air. He took aim and slowed down just enough that the missiles started getting closer to him. This was very risky. If he messed up, he would die. So he would simply not mess up. Turning, he made sure the missiles were following him and then flew back towards the giant and raised the boulder up above his head. Once he was close enough, he flung it at the giant's head as hard as he could and then flew downwards to the robot's chest area. Closer, closer, closer...suddenly he made a superfast turn and let the missiles collide with the robot's chest.
The boulder broke against the robot's head harmlessly, but it provided the distraction that he wanted.
Just as the pilot was laughing in triumph, the missiles collided with the robot, causing a multitude of giant explosions that knocked the robot over and caused severe damage.
The pilot was nearly knocked out by the impact and would have been if not for the protective suit he wore. He groaned and looked at the screen. There was severe damage to the chest area even though the armor held, the missiles were used up, the damaged robot would move slower now and the kid was still alive.
"What's wrong?" Justice Lad asked, breathing hard from the effort to put out such speed. "I thought you said I couldn't damage you."
The pilot cursed as he forced the robot to stand up again. Screaming in rage he fired with the Gatling Gun Rocket Launchers once more while shooting out the robot's eye beams. Justice Lad flew around to dodge the attacks. A few minutes later, the rockets ran out. Justice Lad charged in and got in some good hits the moment he was distracted but the robot was once again able to smack him one. Fortunately, Justice Lad saw this one coming in time to block it. He was launched through the air once more, but this time he was able to roll with the impact and landed on his feet, although it still hurt. He got to his feet and engaged the giant once more with Justice Lad using his speed to dodge the attacks and knock around the giant and avoiding it's strikes. While the giant robot was very strong, even more then him, it wasn't fast enough to hit him due it's enormous size and the suit being limited to the pilot's reactions. So long as he kept an eye out, he was safe.
After a series of thunderous blows, Justice Lad succeeded in knocking it backwards a couple feet away.
The pilot looked at the readout. He was being pummeled by this kid. He was running low on weapons. He was sustaining damage. He was running out of options. He glanced around and then the idea came to him. He made the robot jump back several dozen feet back and after a series of button presses and a lever pull, the giant cannons on the robot's back pulled up into firing position. The robot took a stance as he aimed at his target.
Justice Lad panted, the fight was tiring him out. He needed to finish this. That was when the big guns came up. Justice Lad readed himself to dodge.
The Pilot smiled. "Kid....Justice Lad....I've been underestimating you even now. You're something else. No hero has fought with my creations like you have. So I'm sorry for that. But this is over. I've won."
"Won? What have you won? I can keep going."
"Oh I'm sure. But you won't be able to after this." The cannon's charged up. "You see, you made me remember something. Sometimes it's the smartest who wins, not the strongest. I don't need to hit you with this next attack to win." The cannons continued charging.
Justice Lad didn't get it.
"Confused? That's fine. Just take a look at what's behind you."
"Behind me?" Justice Lad glanced behind and then turned around in shock. What was behind him, miles away, was Paradise City.
"That's your precious city. For what it's worth, you've done a good job defending it. But that's over now. You see, even at this range, I have enough firepower to blow the city away."
Justice Lad turned and stared at him. "Y-you....you wouldn't..."
"Oh. I would and I am." The cannon's finished charging up. (And once this is done, you'll be too busy being an emotional wreck to fight me off and I can stomp you into paste. This fight is over and I've won. You'll never stop this) "Goodbye Justice Lad. BREAKER BEAM FIRE!" The cannon's all fired at once, unleashing massive beams of energy that all combined into one and shot towards the young superhero. Justice Lad tried to dodge it and was flung away by the sheer power of the attack. Justice Lad tumbled to the ground. He rolled around on it and quickly sat back up, watching helplessly as the blast shot towards his beloved city. "STOP IT!" He screamed.
The beam got closer, closer, closer, closer and suddenly there was a flash of light and a deafening explosion. "NOOOOOOOO!"
The pilot smiled. It was over. He had won now.
Justice Lad punched the ground in anger as he cried in anger and sorrow. He had failed. He had fought as hard as he could and he had failed everyone. All the innocent people. "I'm sorry....I'm sorry...I-I..." He looked up. He trailed off.
The Pilot smiled and sat back in his seat as the robot walked up to Justice Lad. Suddenly, he stopped. He saw the same thing Justice Lad was. He pulled up the visor of his helmet to make sure he wasn't seeing things. "No...."
The computer zoomed in.
"No...way...."
The skyscrapers, the towers, the buildings, the people....it was all still there.
"Th-that is...impossible...."
Floating in front of the city, arms held out to the sides, a grim look of determination on his face and his cape billowing in the wind.....was Justice Lad's mentor. Freedom Eagle had shielded the city with his body, stopping the blast from getting anywhere near it.
Needless to say, the pilot was shocked to see this.
See? Shocked. :)
"F-Freedom?"
Freedom Eagle glared at the giant robot. A second later he had zipped over to Justice Lad and handed him a tissue. "There now, no crying, everything's better now see?"
Justice Lad wiped his eyes. "But how?"
Freedom Eagle simply smiled. "I've taken harder hits then that." He then glared up at the giant robot which began backing away from him. "Y-you....but...how...what...that's impossible! Nobody could survive that!"
"Then allow me introduce myself. I'm nobody and I just survived it."
He then flew behind the mecha, grabbed at it's cannons and ripped them right off and flung them away. "And that's quite enough of that."
The mecha fell onto it's knees, the damage was severe.
Freedom prepared to finish it off.
"WAIT!" Justice Lad called up to him. "He's mine."
Freedom Eagle looked down at his student and nodded. "You got it. Knock him dead kid."
"Oh I'm planning on it." He said and flew up to the giant and began pounding on it's head, knocking the robot onto it's back again.
The pilot pressed the button for the taser and the electricity coursed through the robot for a moment before fizzling out. "Oh no. Ohhh no. Not now..." He checked the readout. The Breaker Beam had trained too much power from the robot. The eye lasers and taser were offline. And then the kid was on the robot again. Just like last time And he was angry. With a roar he jumped onto the robot's chest and began pummeling it at super speed, landing hundreds of blows that began tearing through the armor until Justice Lad punched into and through it and with a grunt he tore it open and hopped inside.
The robot thrashed and writhed on the ground as Justice Lad tore it apart from the inside.
"NO! NO! NO!" The pilot slammed his hands on the console but nothing was working. The robot was shutting down and shaking apart. After a few moments, Justice Lad punched through the sheet of metal between him and the pilot and threw him out. The Pilot flew out of the robot and tumbled down it. He groaned as he picked himself up. Justice Lad flew up out of the hole he had made and stared at the villain. The Pilot pulled out two pistols and opened fire on the hero. Justice Lad swatted the bullets out of his way like they were annoying flies and then zipped up to the pilot, grabbed him and smacked him one, sending him flying through the air to crash to the ground and rolled to a stop, busted up an out cold.
Justice Lad had won.
