Chapter 21:
Cartoon kid: Reign of the V.L
8:06 p.m. – Theo's House
Mrs. Krizma, Theo, and Hakim sat at the dining table, eating dinner.
Mrs. Krizma: So, Theo, did anything happen in school today? Something fun, cool... or bad?
Theo: Nah, pretty normal day.
Mrs. Krizma: What about you, Hakim? How was your online class?
Hakim: It was fine.
Mrs. Krizma: What do you do exactly?
Hakim: It's a tech course. (Their Galaxoms began to glow.)
Hakim: Oh, I just remembered — I have an assignment to do. I'll take my food to my room.
Theo: Me too.
Mrs. Krizma: You have homework... or you just want to take your food upstairs?
Theo: Umm... both. (They head upstairs.)
Theo's Room
Kira (via hologram): Meet me in Sector 9, Block 27, Street 5. I assume you know where that is?
Theo: Umm... yeah. (He ends the transmission.) You know where that is, right?
Hakim: Unlike you, I actually studied the code book. (They transform. Hakim opens a portal.)
Sector 9 – Block 27 – Street 5
They arrive to see a woman in a sleek black suit with flame markings and the V.S. insignia on her forehead.
Decibolt: So... this is who we're trashing today.
Molecular Girl: That's Purple Flame. She manipulates fire — and when it turns purple, it's way more intense.
Purple Flame: Yeah, that's about right. Now, let me show you firsthand. (She blasts a fireball at them.)
Decibolt: Sonic Disc! (He launches a sonic disc — it collides with the fireball, both attacks canceling out.)
Decibolt: I thought a C.O. holder would be more of a challenge. Guess I got my hopes up too high. (He rushes forward, leaps, and fires three sonic blasts — but Purple Flame slams fire into the ground, molding it into a wall that blocks his attack.)
Purple Flame: Flame Blast! (She vaults over the wall, firing a fire cannon.)
Decibolt: Deci Shield! (He blocks but is slowly pushed back.)
Molecular Girl: Full Body Repulsion! (She jumps, blasting Purple Flame through her own wall. Purple Flame lands on her feet.)
Purple Flame: Is that all you've— (A swarm of bats slams into her, knocking her down.)
Purple Flame: No one sneaks up on me! (She shoots rapid purple fireballs, but the bats dodge until they morph back into Vamplina, who uses her hypno-eyes to paralyze her.)
Vamplina: Now's your chance!
Molecular Girl: Gravitational Kinesis Attack III — Up and Down Gravity! (Purple Flame is yanked up and slammed down. Decibolt fires a sonic blast, knocking her further back.)
Purple Flame: You'll pay for that! (She spins, creating a fire tornado that launches fireballs.)
Molecular Girl: There's more purple in her flames now! (Vamplina transforms into bats, flies to the top of the tornado, then back to human form.)
Vamplina: Sonic Screech! (She blasts Purple Flame out of the tornado.)
Purple Flame: You're actually worth fighting.
Vamplina: Have you noticed? Whenever she gets angry, she loses control.
Cartoon Kid: Then let's—
Purple Flame: Are you even listening?!
Molecular Girl: Honestly? No. We can't be bothered with your villain monologues.
Purple Flame: HOW DARE YOU NOT LISTEN WHEN I TALK! (She slams her fist into the ground — it melts under their feet.)
Cartoon Kid: Uh... we're sinking.
Purple Flame: That's what you get for ignoring me! (She intensifies her flames, and they sink faster.)
Vamplina: You know, it's not that bad. I'm sure Ms. Feline could do better.
Purple Flame: I can do WAY better than that cat burglar! (She yanks Vamplina out of the ground, hurls her into the air, then jumps above her.)
Vamplina: Tossing your opponent before striking... sounds like you're copying Ms. Feline's style.
Purple Flame: Urgh! (She blasts a semi-purple fireball, slamming Vamplina to the ground.)
Decibolt: Deci Cannon! (It hits — Purple Flame crashes down. The others break free from the melted ground.)
Purple Flame: That one hurt.
Molecular Girl: Give up.
Purple Flame: Yeah... that ain't happening. Especially since I haven't shown you THIS attack.
Cartoon Kid: What attack?
Purple Flame: Normally, I hate the rain... but this is an exception. (She fires multiple fireballs into the air — they rain down like meteors.)
Molecular Girl: We have to stop them before they hit the city! (Vamplina flies up and uses Sonic Screech to destroy some. Decibolt propels himself up, using Sonic Discs to blast others. Kira uses gravity enhance to launch upward, smashing them with kinetic punches.)
Purple Flame: Looks like they left you alone.
Cartoon Kid: I'll do just fine without them! (He charges. She slashes with fire — he dodges, jumps, and aims a punch. She grabs his hand, blasts him point-blank, sending him flying.)
Vamplina: Theo's in trouble! (She transforms into bats, swarming Purple Flame, but gets blasted back by a burst of fire.)
Purple Flame: I'm tired of you. This ends NOW! (She fires a massive fire cannon — Vamplina vanishes in a cloud of yellow smoke.)
Cartoon Kid: You'll pay for that! Activate the power of a chosen one — Reptilian Hero! (He transforms.)
Cartoon Kid: The forecast calls for a 100% chance... of Purple Flame beatdown.
Purple Flame: Bring it! (Her aura flares, flames turning fully purple.)
Molecular Girl: We're going all out!
Purple Flame: Enormous Supernova Bomb! (She hurls a massive flame sphere.)
Decibolt: Deci Cannon!
Molecular Girl: Kinetic Punch Barrage! (Their attacks slow it down.)
Cartoon Kid: Looks like you need a reptilian assist! (He slams his tail into the ground, creating a shock blast that destroys the bomb.)
Decibolt: Sonic Step! (He kicks her into the air.)
Molecular Girl: Full Body Repulsion! (She slams Purple Flame into the ground.)
Cartoon Kid: Lights out! (He slashes repeatedly, then tail-whips her into a wall.)
Molecular Girl: I've got the C.O.! (She pulls out a crystal pen — but Radiax appears, snatches it, and knocks her into a wall.)
Radiax: Your turn, Purple Flame. (He ends her fight instantly.)
Radiax: I'd love to stay and chat... but I have to go. (He disappears.)
Decibolt: You had that, yet you let him take it?
Molecular Girl: I'd like to see you do better. Last I checked, I'm the most powerful here.
Decibolt (to himself): If only she knew...
V.S. HQ
Radiax: Purple Flame has failed. Here's her C.O.
V.L.: One step closer to my master plan.
Radiax: Which is?
V.L.: All in good time. (Three goblins appear.)
V.L.: You're back. Did you decipher the ancient text?
Flame goblin: Yes. The rare substance we need is NaCl — sodium chloride.
V.L.: Salt? You're sure?
Flame goblin: In the Crystal Realm, it's rare. Here... billions of companies produce it.
V.L.: Radiax, give our last C.O. holder some men. Get 2,000 bags of salt.
Radiax: Right away.
V.L.: Everything is falling into place. Soon... this world will be mine.
