The power of Stationary

3:49 p.m., Training Chamber 6

Kira and Hakim were training while Theo was recharging his heroes.

Kira: If only we could go all out… but if we did, we all know who would win.

Hakim (To himself): I wish I could tell her. No… I must remain strong.

Theo: So, who am I sparring with?

Hakim: So, you’re finished with your weird ritual?

Theo: It’s not a ritual, it’s—

Kira: No! I don’t want to know what it is. Let’s just fight.

Meanwhile…

V.L: It’s time we got rid of those pests. We’re sending in a new villain—a holder.

Radiax: Yes, your Darkness. May I ask why you pulled Sand Tomb out of the fight? He could have won.

V.L: I had a bad feeling about it. I need Sand Tomb for my master plan, so I can’t have him dying. Now send in a holder, but be watchful—if they are somehow defeated, get their crystal objects before they do. They are essential to my plan.

Radiax: Yes, your Darkness.

Back in Chamber 6…

Guardian (Telepathically): The Nerd is in the city. I’ll send you the coordinates now.

Theo: Who is The Nerd?

Kira: She’s a holder of a C.O. in the form of a watch on her left hand. Our main objective is to get her C.O. back.

Theo: What is her power?

Kira: You’ll just have to wait and see. (They went to the Guardian’s chamber, activated their super suits, and walked through the portal.)

4:20 p.m., in the city…

The police were getting their butts kicked by someone wearing a slick silver suit with the V.S. insignia on her forehead, holding two huge rulers like swords.

Molecular Girl: You can fall back; we’ll take it from here. (The police retreated.)

Decibolt: What kind of weapons are those?

Molecular Girl: Don’t underestimate her. She’s a formidable foe.

Decibolt: As if I’m scared of a bookworm. (He charged towards her.)

Nerd:Pencil Spear!(The ruler blades disappeared, replaced by a giant pencil with a razor-sharp tip. She smacked Decibolt to the ground and was about to pierce him when Molecular Girl pulled him back.)

Cartoon Kid: And you keep saying my powers are weird.

Molecular Girl: They still are.

Decibolt: Just tell us her powers!

Molecular Girl: I think she can conjure stationery weapons… or something like that. Just like your powers, I don’t get it.

Nerd: That’s enough out of you lot. I was sent to terminate you, and that’s what I’m going to do! Set Square Shuriken!(She conjured six set squares—three in each hand.)

Molecular Girl: Be careful! The 60° explodes, while the 45° releases an electric shock wave.

Nerd: I see you’ve done your homework. But let’s see if you can put your knowledge to use. (She threw them.)

Molecular Girl: Kid, get back! Molecular Wall!

Decibolt:Deci-Shield!(They both tried to stop the shurikens, but they broke through and crashed to the ground.)

Cartoon Kid: You’ll pay for that! Peb! (A beam of light shot from his C.O., and a boy appeared in a cloud of yellow smoke.)

Nerd: I’ll show you the power of my stationery weapons. (She threw three 60° shurikens at him.)

Peb:Pebble Shield!(A wall of pebbles blocked the shurikens.)

Nerd: Seriously? Pebble manipulation? Pathetic. (She conjured her ruler blades again.)

Peb: I’ll show you the might of a pebble! (He formed a pebble axe and charged. She blocked every swing, then kicked him down and hurled 45° shurikens at him.)

Peb: Ugh!

Cartoon Kid: Peb, it’s time to go big.

Peb (grinning):Pebble Transformation Type I: Pebble Monster!(Pebbles floated around him, merging into a giant stone monster.)

Nerd: Let’s see if your little transformation can handle this. (As she raised her hands and shot out projectiles that looked like compasses and dividers. But they just went through the pebble monster.)

Pebble Monster: Who’s pathetic now? (As he punched her)

Nerd: Protractor knuckles.(As she tried to attack him, but he jumped back to where the Cartoon Kid was.)

Molecular Girl: I’ve got a plan. I’ll pin her down, Pebble Guy attack from above, while Decibolt, you attack from the side.

Nerd: You can formulate all the plans you want, but you’ll never defeat me.

Molecular Girl: You sure about that? Gravitational Kinesis Attack I: Gravity Enhanced.(As she punched the ground and the gravity around the Nerd increased tremendously, pinning her to the ground.)

Molecular Girl: Now!!!

Pebble Monster: Eat, Pebble Spikes!(As he jumped up and threw spikes made of pebbles at her.)

Decibolt: Deci Cannon.(But as soon as the attack was about to hit her, she enclosed herself in a mathematical-looking set.)

Nerd: Is that all you got? (As the mathematical set disappeared, and she stood up.)

Decibolt: Why didn’t you tell us she could do that?

Molecular Girl: Because even I didn’t know.

Cartoon Kid: How about we try the attack again?

Molecular Girl: No can do. My Gravitational Kinesis needs time to recharge. Plus, she would just use the same move again.

Nerd: If you think that mathematical set was powerful, I have more tricks up my sleeve. (As she conjured an eraser and threw it at them, it created a very thick smoke screen.)

Cartoon Kid: I can’t see anything.

Pebble Monster: We’re sitting ducks out here.

Nerd: Time to finish this. (As she conjured two big shurikens, one 60, the other 45.)

Nerd: Take this. (As she threw the shurikens, the smoke screen cleared a little, and the Pebble Monster saw them coming.)

Pebble Monster: Pebble Transformation Type II: Pebble Dragon. (As he transformed and used his wings to block the shurikens.)

Pebble Dragon: Time for some aerial attacks. (As he began to fly.)

Cartoon Kid: Let’s finish this. Activate the Power of a Chosen One.

Pebble Dragon: Scorching Hot Pebble Storm!(As he blasted a bunch of hot pebbles from his mouth. She tried to block it with her mathematical set, but they pierced right through and destroyed it.)

Decibolt: Looks like you’re wide open. Deci Cannon!(As he blasted her to the ground.)

Molecular Girl: Gravitational Kinesis Attack III: Up and Down Gravity.(As she made the gravity around her increase and decrease multiple times, making her go up and down.)

Cartoon Kid: Now it’s my turn. (He charged towards her, giving decisive blows and cuts, and finally kicked her to the ground.)

Cartoon Kid: Peb, finish it!

Peb: You got it. (As he turned all the pebbles he used to transform into a dragon into a hammer, smashing the Nerd into the ground.)

Molecular Girl: She’s just unconscious. Now’s our chance to take her C.O.

Radiax: Not so fast. (As he appeared out of a cloud of black smoke.)

Radiax: I’ll be taking this. (As he took her C.O.)

Radiax: And as punishment for failing the master, you lose your life. Goodbye. (As he created a small energy orb and blasted it through her heart. Suddenly, the C.O. began to glow and changed into earrings.)

Cartoon Kid: Why did it change form?

Molecular Girl: Anytime a holder dies, the form changes. Did you think your C.O. was a hanger from the dawn of time?

Cartoon Kid: I guess that makes sense.

Decibolt: You’re getting completely sidetracked when we have the chance to get both C.Os.

Radiax: As much as I would love to fight, you have more pressing matters to handle. (As he disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.)

Policeman: We’ll take it from here. But before you go, we have an important question: can you give us your autograph?

Decibolt: What’s an autograph?

Cartoon Kid: It’s like a keepsake or collectible that fans get from famous people. (As he gave them their autograph.)

Decibolt: And having that is valuable how?

Cartoon Kid: I don’t know, let’s just go. (As they walked through the portal.)

Meanwhile…

Radiax: Nerd has been defeated. I have her C.O. right here. Should I find a new holder?

V.L.: No. I need an unbounded C.O. for my experiment.

Radiax: Why don’t I just kill all the current holders?

V.L.: One of them may defeat the Chosen One and his team. And anyone who fails suffers the same fate as Nerd.

Radiax: So, who do we send next?

V.L.: I came across a non-holder mercenary in England who has not yet failed a single mission. I want him to fight them; his name is Captain Brit.

Radiax: Okay, but it may take a couple of months until he’s free to fight.

V.L.: Rest now, Chosen One, but soon we’ll have your C.O.
