Justice Lad vs The Metal Giant

"HE DID WHAT?!" Heman Dragonhowl demanded.
"Like I said Master Heman, your son left to protect Paradise City from a rampaging giant robot."
"And just where were you?!" Seraphina asked.
"I was going to get him for his training sessions but he was already gone."
Heman cursed under his breath and slammed his hands on the table. Thinking for a moment, he looked Seraphina. The two locked eyes and then nodded as Heman stood up straight and his eyes narrowed. "Get the guns. Our son needs help."

Back at the city.....

Justice Lad was staring down the giant metal suit. The giant raised up one leg and attempted to stomp on him. Justice Lad held up his hands and caught it. He struggled with it as the suit continued to press down on him but he was ultimately able to toss it off of him. The giant fell on it's back and Justice Lad jumped onto it's torso and began punching it, rocking the whole suit. "Damn kid, get off me!" The pilot yelled as the suit's left hand grabbed him. The pilot grinned as the suit got up. Justice Lad struggled to get out of the grip. "Put.......me.....down!"
"Good idea." The pilot said and flung Justice Lad down to the ground. He hit the street hard, breaking it. Justice Lad yelled in pain. "Hey kid, don't quite on me now!" The suit raised a giant foot and stomped on him. Hard and then again. The suit bent over and picked up the child by his cape. "See, this is why kids shouldn't wear costumes." He then turned and tossed Justice Lad several blocks away. Justice Lad hit the ground and bounced a few feet before rolling to a stop. He was crying in pain. As the suit was closing in, several cars pulled up to the crying child. Heman and Seraphina Dragonhowl ran out of the car. "Seraph! SON!" Heman knelt down and held his crying son. "Shhhhh.......shhhhh...mommy and daddy are here now sweety." Seraphina said. "Mommy.......Daddy.......it hurts....it hurts." He cried into his parents arms.

"Sooooo, you're his parents huh? Pretty s-ty parents if you ask me, sending their little boy to die like this."

The Dragonhowl's glared at him. "You did this?" Heman growled. "YOU HURT OUR SON?!" Seraphina asked.
"Yeah, that's right. What are you gonna do about it?"
At that, the entire staff of the mansion, the chefs, maids and butlers walked out of the cars, each of them carrying guns. Seraphina and Heman took out their own. They all took aim at the suit. More specifically, the glass that protected the pilot. "LIGHT HIM UP!" Heman shouted. Every single one of them opened fire on him at the same time. The bullets pinged off of him at first as the pilot laughed and laughed but then he saw it. A small crack in the glass. It soon began spreading and the pilot had the suit cover the glass with it's arms. The Dragonhowl's household emptied their guns and the suit uncovered itself, glaring down menacingly at them. "You.......all of you.......I.Have.Had.ENOUGH!" He pressed red buttons and rockets popped out of the suit's arms. "RUN!" Heman shouted as they ran for it. The suit fired, blowing up their cars. The massive explosion sending the Dragonhowl's flying. They rolled a stop, holding their son. They were alive, but wounded from the explosion. "M-mommy? Daddy?" Seraph asked quietly. No response. They were unconscious. Seraph stood up, trembling.

"Awwwwww, isn't this tragic? Boo, hoo." The pilot laughed. "Look on the bright side kid. You can all die together."

"You....you......you......" Seraph gritted his teeth, he turned to look up at the monster. "You.....hurt.....them."

"Yeah. And now, I'M GONNA KILL THEM!" The pilot roared. "AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO!"

Justice Lad lost it. He was a good kid. A nice boy. His parents had raised him like that. He had never been angry in his life before. So, it was understandable that he utterly snapped here. With a roar of fury unseen in a child his age, Justice Lad knelt down and launched himself towards the metal monstrosity, blurring with speed. "Just try it!" The pilot said and put his arms up to block him. There was a sound of thunder and a shockwave of force as Justice Lad collided with the big metal arms....and broke through them to smash into the suit's torso and slam across the street into an alleyway where it hit the brick wall and broke through it. The pilot was tossed around by the sheer impact and barely had time to figure out where he was, not to mention the fact that the suit was busted, before Justice Lad began whaling on the suit, causing it to shake and break apart. Justice Lad roared with anger at the suit as he flailed angrily on and settled it with one final double punch to the suit, causing the robot to break apart into pieces. The pilot was left trembling int the remnants of the suit's head in terror. "Jesus Christ.......what....WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Justice Lad walked up to the glass and broke into it and grabbed the pilot out. "Just a kid." He then flung the pilot several feet away into a parked car, knocking him out. Justice Lad fell to his knees, exhausted.
