Captain Justice Stories

Issue 2 Chapter 4: Into The Inferno!

Justice Lad vs Indigo Inferno: Round 1

It had been a year of training for Seraph. He worked out by lifting large boulders over his head, increased his speed by chasing Freedom Eagle in the air and on the ground, and increased his hand to hand skills by attacking Eagle and following his instructions on top of being taught karate by him. Little Seraph still did not compare to his mentor but he had become much more powerful then before. He was now 9 years old and was walking around the city with his parents. The evil pilot was still imprisoned and there had been no real attacks. Some low level criminals had shown up but the police dealt with them easily with Justice Lad helping out every now and then. There had been a fight between Freedom Eagle and an android villain, but as far as Seraph knew, there were no casualties. He had also met a nice girl named Bellatrix a few days ago.
Over time he had come to love Paradise City.

The people were nice, the city was beautiful, there were tall buildings everywhere, it was clean, and from what he heard the schools were excellent. Seraph hoped that last part was true as he was going to leave homeschooling and go to a private school soon. He had also modified his costume over the course of the year to be more superheroic. Currently he had been nicknamed by the papers as the Paradise Prince due to being the richest boy in the city.
Yes, life was good.

But life was not all fun and games for the young boy. For there was another supervillain fight on the way.
They walked into the bank and waited in line as everyone turned and waved to them and greeted the Dragonhowl's. Seraph and his parents greeted them back and waited in line to cash a check when suddenly a group of men in black suits broke into the bank and fired Flamethrower's into the air. They were lead by a masked man in white armor.

"This is a bank robbery, everyone hand over your money and valuables and you will not be harmed." The man said as one of his goons produced a large bag. "Now get to it!"

Seraph looked up at his parents who moved in front of their son to give him cover. Seraph ran  towards the back exit and removed his suit to reveal his costume underneath. He put on his mask and then flew back to the entrance and entered in behind the criminals. "Hey you!"
The gang turned around to see a child floating in the air and looking down on them.

"Give everybody's money back right now or else!"
Two of the goons replied by turning on their flamethrowers and blasting him with fire. The people in the bank screamed in horror as they saw the little boy hero be engulfed by flames. Fortunately, Justice Lad was superpowered so he was unharmed. He flew through the flames and grabbed one of the goons and tossed him across the room. The thug bounced off a wall 50 feet away and fell to the ground.
He then punched another thug across the room. The remaining thugs backed up and fired their flamethrowers at once but Justice Lad was unharmed and easily flung them around the room like rag dolls, taking out each one with one hit.
Soon all that was left was the leader.
He looked around and shrugged. "So you're Justice Lad huh? You're younger then I thought."
"Yeah, so what's your name you jerk?"
"Y ou can call me...The Indigo Inferno."
"Indigo what?"
The Indigo Inferno raised his hand and a blue flame surrounded it and then flew forward, exploding against Justice Lad's chest and launching him through the air. He broke through the wall but was otherwise unharmed. He patted his chest, thankful for the adjustments to it that made his costume so durable.
"Ohhhh...Indigo means blue...blue fire. I get it now!" Justice Lad said as he got to his feet and stared down the villain again.
"Should've stayed down kid." Indigo said and rapid fired the fireballs at him. The fireballs were as fast as bullets from a machine gun but thanks to his training, Justice Lad was able to dodge them and fly over to Indigo and throw him out of the bank and across the street. He collided with a street lamp, knocking it over. The fireballs impacted against the bank wall, blowing it out.
"Well that's that. Is everybody okay?"
"Yes...yes we're okay now Justice Lad. Thank you."
Justice Lad smiled. "All in a day's work ma'am."
Behind him, Indigo stood up and summoned up a large fireball which he flung at the bank.
"JUSTICE LAD LOOK OUT!" A woman screamed.
He turned around and saw a fireball the size of a van hurtling towards them. He glanced at the henchmen on the ground. (Doesn't he even care about them?!) After a quick look at the people in the bank, he made a decision and flew out to the fireball, crossing his arms over his head.
The explosion rocked the bank, blowing away the glass and sending the people flying through the air. People on the street screamed and ran for cover from the explosion even as they were launched into the air.
Justice Lad flew backwards from the impact and flew straight through the bank and out the other side of it. He bounced off the wall of the alleyway behind it and fell to the ground.

"And that takes care of that." Indigo smiled. "I suppose robbing the bank can wait for another day." He said and walked off laughing.

Justice lad picked himself up. The blast had hurt but compared to the pounding that the metal giant had given him, it wasn't all that bad. He shook his head to get rid of the ringing in his ears and brushed the dirt and rubble off his costume. He flew back through the hole to find the people of the bank had survived, including the henchmen. There were injuries but they were all okay.
He flew over to his parents. "We're fine. Go get him." His mother said.
Justice Lad nodded and flew off after Indigo Inferno.

Round 2

Justice Lad flew around the city, searching for Indigo Inferno. He finally found him when his super hearing picked up the sound of his voice. Justice Lad flew over to his location and hid behind a corner. He watched him knock on a large metal door. He heard someone undoing locks and the door opened and a man in black let him in.

"What's up boss? You get the cash?"
"No. I did take down Justice Lad though."
"You serious?"
"Of course. He was a dumb kid fighting a grown man. Who do you think was gonna win?"
"And the others?"
"Had to leave them behind. They were out like lights. No matter though. With Justice Lad out of commission, the city is ours for the taking."

After making sure nobody was there to get dragged into the fight, Justice Lad came out of hiding and walked over to the door and knocked on it. A man looked through a hole but he didn't see him.
Justice Lad waited for a minute before knocking again.
Same result.
Smiling, Justice Lad flew up into the air and knocked a third time.
The man in black opened up the door. "WHO'S THERE?!" He demanded and he practically deflated as he saw Justice Lad floating in front of him. Justice Lad shoved him across the room and onto Indigo, knocking him over.  Indigo shoved his minion off of him and looked up to see the kid hero smiling at him. "Still alive Indy!"
He flew outside to avoid Indigo's flames and floated in the air.
"You should have stayed down kid."
Justice Lad blew a raspberry at him. "There's no one here to distract me now. This time I'm going to win."

"Keep dreaming." Indigo launched the fireballs at him but Justice Lad easily evaded them and flew in front of Indigo so fast the villain had no time to react. Justice Lad punched him in the face, sending the villain flying through the air several dozen feet before he hit the ground. "That was for attacking the bank at all!"
Indigo rubbed his jaw and looked up to see Justice Lad had vanished.
"Boo!"
Indigo whirled around and swung a fire covered arm at the young boy who ducked under it and punched him in the stomach, busting his armor and sending the villain flying. "That was for the fireballs."
Indigo picked himself up, holding his ribs. "St-stupid...k-kid...don't.get.COCKY!" Indigo roared and a wall of blue fire erupted around him. He gestured and the fire launched out at Justice Lad who used his speed to avoid it. Indigo controlled the wave of fire with his hands, using it as an extension of his arm to try and grab Justice Lad who flew around it. "That's enough!" Justice Lad said and made a U-Turn in the air and flew past the fire and rocketed towards Indigo and tackled him, carrying him through the air for several feet before tossing him away, the fire dissipating with the loss of his concentration. Indigo bounced off the ground for a few feet before stopping. He got to his feet and found Justice Lad in front of him again. He grabbed the villain by the shirt and punched him across the face. "And this is for the giant fireball!" He smacked him again,launching him dozens of feet away to hit the ground, unconscious.
