And Back in to the Fire

by Jerry J. Vahn

Well, we took a long time getting back to the site, all of about 3 or so.
 
The five new supers, who called themselves the Superior 5, are mostly holding their own.
 
I run up towards the fight and take a shot at one of the floating gun platforms. The lightning blast does a little bit of damage, but not too much. It did knock it back from where it started.
 
Gigaton blast most of us with one of his 'Gigablasts'. It really rang my bell. That stung a lot. I'm going to have to do something about that. Apparently, energy is a weak point of my system.
 
One of the members of the Superior 5, uses some of my tricks, and somehow seems to be as fast, if not faster than I am.
 
I start pulling my dissassembly trick on one of the Destroids, while the 5 decide that Gigaton is their only target.
 
Liliana, one of the ones that we helped free, came back with us. Not sure if that was a good choice on her part, but maybe it was.
 
I'm not sure what she hit Gigaton with, but it made him drop like a stone.
 
We quickly did a clean up of the destroids and gun turrets. The 5 weren't interested in anything other than beating up on Gigaton.
 
We couldn't have that, so we took what was left of Gigaton, (more like half-a-ton now) to our prison base.
 
I don't think we made any friends out of the '5', but maybe we won't have made serious enemies.
 
Time to see if I can reconfigure some things and make it so that I don't get my bell rung so bad next time.
