"Ow! Owwww...damn...dammit...that damn kid...my whole body hurts..what
the hell is that kid made out of?" The electric woman sat down against
the brick wall in the alley. "One thing's for sure, I can't beat that
kid, not like this. I'm gonna need something more..." She thought about
it before smiling and looking up at the sky. "Two things: A lightning
storm...and the city's power grid." She licked her lips. "Yummy." The
woman stood up and walked away.
A week passed as she both recovered and planned out her counterattack.
There was a thunderstorm coming soon and she planned to utilize both that and the electricity drained from the city to make herself invincible.
Electrolyte adjusted her gloves and threw on an overcoat and walked out of her apartment.
Seraph was at home sitting up in his bed and working on his studies while watching television. The giant TV screen in his room was playing his favorite television show: The Chase Sibling Adventures. In this episode they were fighting off a gigantic dark skinned tyrannosaurus type creature with bony spikes all over it's body. The battle was taking place on an alien world with gigantic meteors falling down all around them while heavy metal music played in the background. It was easily one of the most epic battles in the show's history. Seraph was really getting into the overly epic fight when his mother walked in. "Seraph?"
"Oh, hello Mother dearest."
"Seraph, how is your work coming along?"
Seraph showed his mother the math work.
She looked it over. "Ahh, very good. You do have a few small mistakes though."
She sat down and the two talked about the math work and Seraph made the corrections. "Alright, excellent work. Now, I can see you're watching your show, so you can keep on watching. When you're done, we'll move on to your piano lessons."
"Yes mother, thank you mother."
Seraphina kissed her son's forehead and walked out of the bedroom.
Seraph smiled and lay down on the bed to watch.
Electrolyte lit up a cigarette as she walked up to the power plant. "HEY! HEY! Who the hell are you?!" The security guards grabbed her shoulder and were promptly electrocuted and sent flying backwards. Electrolyte giggled and walked up to the door and blasted it down. The security inside went for their guns but the lightning villainess simply blasted them down and made her way inside, zapping random people as she went.
Justice Lad battles an electrifying super-villain.
A few days had gone by since the battle with the giant robot and Freedom Eagle had assured him that the pilot would be locked up in the PIN for the rest of his life. All in all things had been peaceful in the city. He was wearing a nice new suit and relaxing in the sky. He noticed a guy selling ice cream to children on the street. Smiling, he flew down and walked up to the man and offered him a couple hundred dollars. "Hello. My name is Justice Lad. I'd like to buy everyone ice cream."
"Okay!" The man said and took the money and handed out ice cream to everyone who wanted some. "Ummm, how much change?"
"Keep it." Justice lad said and walked off to eat his ice cream, waving goodbye to the other children.
"Thank you!" P.W. called after him. He smiled and nodded. "You're welcome!"
After sitting on a bench to eat the ice cream cone, he called his parents, taking a small phone out of his belt. "Hi Mother! Hello Father! I'm at the park! I just bought some people ice cream. It was really good, how are you doing?"
"Very well dear." Seraphina replied as she relaxed at the pool.
"Great! When do you want me home?"
"6:00 PM dear. We have a dinner party tonight."
"Yes mother dear!"
There was an explosion. "Gotta go now mother, some super villain has shown up again. I'll call when I'm done."
"Of course, be safe dear."
"Always am!" He hung up and flew to the sound of the explosion.
A group of masked criminals in body armor were loading stolen goods out of the museum and into a truck. "That's it! We got what we came for! Move it!" Their leader said, a tall figure about 6'4 and wearing blue motorcycle gear with a blue helmet. Justice Lad flew down on top of the truck. "Hi bad guys!"
"Damn, it's him! You guys get the goods out of here, I'll handle him."
"You.....do know who I am right?"
"I know and I'm going to be the one who takes you down. No stupid kid is beating me!"
Justice Lad jumped off the truck. "Alright, let's see what you got bad guy."
The others finished loading up and drove off. Justice Lad wasn't worried, he could catch it easily. In the meantime, the villain in front of him was surrounded by electricity. It was sparking off of the villain who raised a hand and fired off a blast of electricity at him. Justice Lad raised his hand up and the bolt struck it but there was no damage. Justice Lad was actually holding the bolt of electricity in his hand. "Why you...try this on for size!" The villain said and blasted him with the other hand. Justice Lad stopped it again. "This all you got? That robot I fought before had way more juice then this." He threw the blasts aside and smiled.
"Stupid kid. Don't think I'm beaten yet!" The villain charged up electricity and then let fly a powerful double handed blast, hitting his chest. Justice Lad walked into the attack, one step at a time as the villain backed up and then Justice Lad blitzed forward and punched the villain into a wall, breaking the helmet and revealing that the villain had been a woman.
"Oh....wow....oops...oh man, Father was always telling me not to hit a woman and now this happens." Justice Lad looked at the unconscious woman. "Well....she was trying to electrocute me." He reasoned and shrugged and then flew after the truck, traveling down the road. It had traveled several blocks by that time and was going over a hundred miles per hour. However, Justice Lad was soon able to catch up with it and got in front of the truck, letting it slam full force into him. Wrecking the front of the truck but he was unharmed. Justice Lad soon took out the goons and put them back in the truck which he carried over to the museum and set it down.
"Wow! Thanks kiddo!"
"Not a problem Officer, just doing my job. Say, do you know who that electric woman was?"
"Electric woman?"
"You know, the woman in motorcycle gear. She was right there."
"Sorry kid, when we got here all we found was a broken helmet, no signs of any woman."
"What? That's weird. Oh well, I'm sure she won't be a problem." Justice Lad waved goodbye and flew away.
"Ow! Owwww...damn...dammit...that damn kid...my whole body hurts..what the hell is that kid made out of?" The electric woman sat down against the brick wall in the alley. "One thing's for sure, I can't beat that kid, not like this. I'm gonna need something more..." She thought about it before smiling and looking up at the sky. "Two things: A lightning storm...and the city's power grid." She licked her lips. "Yummy." The woman stood up and walked away.
Issue 1: Chapter 4. A New Home And Adoption?
Part 1
Hope had trouble sleeping, having nightmares about her time on the streets and the bad man with his giant size and his faceless head. That man was scary. When she woke up, she lay still, enjoying the softness of the bed she had.
"Hope! Breakfast!" Matron called to her.
Hope smiled and scrambled out of bed to find a breakfast waiting for her.
A nice bowl of cereal. "Wow...is that for me?"
"You bet it is Hope." Matron smiled sweetly.
"Yay! Thanks!" Hope said and ran over and climbed onto the chair and began eating. It was Cheeri-O's. After eating the cereal and drinking her juice, Matron took her to the bathroom and helped Hope with teeth brushing.
Once she was done, Hope spit in the sink and washed her toothbrush, leaning onto the sink to do so. She almost slipped and fell but Matron caught her. "Th-thank...thank you."
"Think nothing of it dear."
After this Matron gave her a bath and dressed her in a new dress. Hope walked out of her room. "Ummm...h-h-how do I look?"
Matron smiled down at her. "You look adorable Hope. Come along now, it's time to learn to read and write. You can can't you?'
Hope shook her head. "Mommy and Daddy never got to teach me."
"So I see. Well, no time like the present."
For the next hour, Matron pulled out books and pencils and taught the child how to read and write. She read storybooks to Hope and then helped Hope say the words, read them and then write them down. Hope learned very quickly. From there, they moved onto math, during Matron bemoaned the fact that she did not have a calculator available and then had to explain what that was to Hope, who laughed at the idea of such a crazy device.
Matron then introduced Hope to the Monopoly Board Game and then Checkers. It took Hope quite some time to get used to both but once she did, she was creating complex strategies out of thin air, even though she had to ask Matron what that word meant. Matron laughed at the child's innocence.
After playing games together, they sat down and watched television.
Justice Lad was on the news and was talking to reporters.
"Matron? Who's that?"
"Why, that's Justice Lad dear. He's a superhero."
"A superhero? But he's a little boy."
"Heroes can come in and all shapes and sizes and ages dear."
Ohhhh....then you're a superhero too Matron! You saved me!"
"That I did dear." Matron said and hugged her.
Over the next few days Matron taught her so many new things, how to make macaroni art, introduced her to cartoons, sang her lullabies, and even picked flowers with her. She still had the cough and the occasional dream of the bad man, but it didn't bother her anymore.
Hope's parents were gone but she had Matron now and that was all she needed.
After a month however, things changed. A rich couple knocked on the door and Matron spoke with them. She called Hope the door.
"Matron!" Hope ran up and hugged her. She turned to the rich couple. "Hello. My name is Hope." She said and curtsied.
"Isn't she adorable darling?" The woman asked.
The man smiled. "Yes. Yes she is."
Then the man said 5 terrifying words. "We'd like to adopt her."
"I see...right this way and we'll fill out the paperwork."
"........Matron?"
A short while later, the rich couple came out of the backroom and shook Matron's hand. "Come on Hope! We'll take you to a new home!"
"B-b-but..." She turned to Matron, tears in her eyes. "MATRON!" She ran up and grabbed the old woman's dress. "Please! Please! I don't wanna go anywhere else! I wanna stay with you!" She pleaded as she cried on her dress.
Matron knelt down and hugged her. "Shhh...shhh..there there dear. This is for the best. They can give you a better life then I can."
"I don't want that! I just wanna stay with you!"
Matron turned her around. "Please Hope, they can give you everything you would ever dream of. I love you like my own daughter but there is more for you out there then in here. I know they will be good to you."
"Y-y..you...you mean it?"
"Oh yes. We will never hurt you Hope."
Hope looked back at Matron who nodded. Hope hugged the old woman one last time and then ran off to be with her new family.
As they started up their limosine, Hope looked out the window and waved goodbye to Matron.
After she left, Matron silently walked into the orphanage and sat down and wept.
"Ummmm...M-M-Miss?" Hope asked.
The woman looked down to her and smiled. "Yes dear?"
Justice Lad sat down on top of the remains of the giant machine and rested. He was exhausted from the fight in more ways then one but he had won and defeated another giant machine. Freedom Eagle landed next to him. "Hey there kiddo. You did great."
"Yes, thanks sir. But you're the real hero. I couldn't have saved the city if you hadn't shown up."
"I just blocked the energy blast and tore off the cannon's. You did all the work."
"Well...yeah...I guess so. Thanks for that though sir."
"You're welcome." Freedom Eagle said.
"So, um, if I may ask, where were you?"
"Long story short, I was punching an Eldritch Abomination in the face." he paused. "Or whatever counted as a face for that thing."
"An eldritch?"
"Nasty, horrendous things from outside the Universe. They are abominations Justice Lad and are not something you should ever want to fight." Freedom Eagle summed up.
"Woah..."
"Yeah." He ruffled his student's hair. "But never mind that, great job in the fight."
Justice Lad laughed. "So what are we going to do about him?"
"I'll take him to The Pin and dismantle the robot."
"What's The Pin?"
"It's where we take the really bad guys. I don't see him breaking out of there. Afterwords we'll figure out just how and where he built this and ensure he can never do it again."
"Wow, it sounds really impressive."
"Oh it is. I'll take you to visit when you're older. Trust me when I say that it's no place for a child. Even a super one like yourself."
Justice Lad nodded. "So, um, can I go home then?"
"Sure thing and you can take tomorrow off from training too. You've earned it."
"Thanks!" Justice Lad said as the two high fived and then Justice Lad flew away.
Freedom Eagle watched him leave. "That kid, he's incredible. Fighting giant robots at his age. I can't imagine how powerful he'll be when he grows up." He stood up and flew around the giant robot at super speed, dismantling it in seconds and he then grabbed the Pilot and flew him away to the Pin Prison.
Justice Lad arrived back home and took off his mask as he walked in the door.
His parents ran up and hugged him when they saw his torn costume and the bruises on his body. "Oh my son!"
"Son, what happened? We heard explosions and earthquakes!"
Seraph hugged them both close for a few moments. "Oh man. Today was crazy."
The family sat down to talk about it.
------------
"Another giant robot?!" Seraphina asked, shocked.
"Yeah and this one was even bigger and stronger then the last."
"Incredible. I can't imagine what it must have been like for you to face such a monster on your own." Heman said.
"Tiring. I am taking a couple days off to rest after this battle."
His parents nodded noddd with understanding. "We're just happy you're okay son." His father said.
"Don't worry, I always will be."
The two talked for awhile more before Seraph headed off to take a nice long hot bath and then have a nice long sleep.
His parents arranged for the costume to be delivered to an extremely expensive tailor to be repaired.
After bathing and drying off, Seraph put on his pajamas's and got into bed. He soon fell asleep, tired from the day's battle.
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.
