The Fight Back

He pushed down the throttle hard. Gaining more thrust as they fly across the sea for what felt like hours. Dwayne is worried. They need to help them, but the journey back would cause even more treachery. Suddenly they spot land. Small dots move about the destroyed buildings as they seemingly marched towards the portal, which by now has gotten really unstable after bombings made, allowing planes and helicopters to enter. Sure the number of slimes entering to Hektor was lessening but by no means were they harmless, they carried wrecking balls and swords. Some were walking on all fours with closer inspection looks like a huge mouth that can swallow things whole. As they got closer to the portal, several slime balls emerged to get them. Hektor quickly dodges then as they had come to the realization that they had been spotted. As the helicopter rocks, Kaminev and Shelly had barely managed to grab hold of some straps, nearly slamming onto the doors as Hektor pushed the accelerator even harder, passing through the portal as some slime intervened. As he dodged, Shelly couldn't help but feel worried. It was morning and it looked desolate. Fire have spread from building to building with several structures collapsed. She looks back to see the portal larger than normal. Seemingly looking as if the portal had been damaged in a 'bad' manner, projecting the portal like a projector up in the air. Below, civilians were running about with some soldiers fighting a losing battle with slimes morphing into the machinery including the destroyed tanks as they mow down the retreating soldiers remaining in the ruined city. As Shelly looks further into the distance, nearby cities and town were being burned to the ground.

"Hey, quickly radio in." Bryony notifies Dwayne in a muffled voice as he fiddles with the controls to a bunch of loud noises. The control towers are in disarray with the army scrambling to bring jets into the sky.

"Hello is anyone here...We stolen a helicopter from that portal..." Dwayne staggers, unsure of what is the airport code or the pilot code.

"Hey! Unidentified aircraft who had entered our airspace please identify yourself!" The airport controller ordered. Dwayne and Hektor looked at each other. Shrugging before they answered, "I'm sorry, I have not piloted any type of aircraft before. So I do not know what I'm doing. My friend is on the controls but even he doesn't know the pilot codes..."

"Ok..." The controller confused as he notifies the commander of staff in the background. First silence then a gruff voice comes into the mike. "You guys have yet to answer his question."

"Right..." Hektor said as he glances at Dwayne spoke in a muffled manner into the mike, "It's Dwayne Leong. The guy who saved the city recently-"

"So it's you...Anyone else?" He asked sternly.

"Three of my friends are in here as well." Dwayne said, wondering if he is about to get shot down, as he continued, "anyways where is Elson?"

"If I'm not wrong, he along with many of the survivors are at the Arkansas Military Base at siege." The commander reported as Hektor nods, violating the airspace and heading towards the air base to the anger and hesitation of the commander.

Arkansas Military Base

"Stand your ground!" Elson shouts as many of the survivors use their firearms to kill the slimes. They had been blessed with acidic ammunition but the stock is running out. In a nearby hangar. Zane and Zoe are dealing with some slimes trying to enter the hangar. Zoe smacks a slime to the ground with the baseball bat given to her by Shelly, disintegrating it in one blow. Zane meanwhile was struggling to shoot. With the lack of training, he was having problems with one slime coming closer to him. He shoots towards the head, but misses. "You got to be kidding me!" Zane cursed as the sloppy creature with no legs slithered towards him. It grinned, as his head transformed into a huge mouth. Ready to assimilate him.

"Wham!" Zoe smacked it as it made the creature have a loud gargle as it turned to stone. "You alright?" She asked as she lifts him up, he nods as they realized they are surrounded. The survivors try to kill the slimes but it was too much. Elson has yet to even notice them. Seemingly ordering to hold at another building.

"Any last words?" Zoe asked Zane, Zane looks at Zoe who looked at him flustered after all the events that have been happening so recently. Her hair was jumbled in a mess with her dress dirty from gravel and dust. Zane sighs. Should he tell the truth? She may hate him as a result. "But then again we are about to potential die for absurd reasons... fine..." Zane thought to himself before continuing, "Look, to clear things up, I don't exactly like you. I have to like you because of my dad."

"That's unfortunate. Because you will love me more after this." She charges forward bravely, the slimes try to pounce her but every random swing she does, they were put down. Zane looks on in astonishment at the amount of stone on the ground. She was a one woman army, somehow unstoppable with anger unleashed in full at the slimes. She may rather do this at her parents but then again, they are still her parents. It's not nice to tell how a family's daughter tried to brutally murder their parents over secrets that have yet to be told. That's about right.

However as much slime was put down. More came and specifically at the duo. "Shit." Zane looks at his belt. Two cartridges. His ammo is running out and he barely knew how to shoot. The both looked in fear and anger as the both are held up at the walls.

Bright light was all they both saw as a large explosion rattled the land. Suddenly a hammer flew out, smashing many of the slimes with one blow. Bullets shoot out, causing stone to form at their 'legs' as what looks like white slime emerge from wreck, forming spears as they bounced through the air. Tearing apart the remaining slimes. They were back. They emerged from the wreck. A bubble formed around Kaminev as it returned to a Dwayne who now looks more like the god of thunder except for the lack of armor, a mask and that he was wearing a black robe with green highlights. Shelly meanwhile looked like she had gone to the gym to further bulk up. Still looking sexy with her now slightly torn up clothes with parts of her 'assets' showing off except now her muscles are now larger and a white robe covered around her like a trench coat.

"Wow. Superhero landing right there." Zane said as the both of them waved back as Elson emerged out of the other building, "I thought you three had died."

"Yes. We nearly did. Uncle," Dwayne moaned as he removes his mask, the stone moving to his sides as he continued, "Look, we had our punishment. Now will you forgive us?"

"Yes," he said as he proceeded to hug Dwayne and Shelly warmly. Kaminev slightly smiled at the sight, reminding him of his lost family. Shelly looked at Dwayne with curiosity.

"Why didn't he take of his mask earlier when reporting the the control towers?" She thought to herself. "I doubt he cares about the small details does he?" Hektor replied in her mind. "I think I like him more like that...using his energy usefully only when he needs to." She thought to herself as she slightly smiled.

As they stopped hugging, Dwayne morphed ten weapons. "Here have some guns. They are more powerful that the ones you have and you don't need to restock for ammo." Elson thanked them as Zane and Zoe brings the weapons back in. "Anyways, where is Asther?" Dwayne asked as Elson pulled out a small device looking like a wrist watch, seemingly made as a secret weapon used by the FBI. It whirled to life as a hologram of a man emerged.

"Hey Jefferson! Where is Asther?" Elson speaks close to the wrist, trying to talk to him without shouting. Maybe it was because his 'wrist watch' was faulty. The trio may never know. "Look he is with the president at the White House right now at where I'm stationed at-" Jefferson replied as Elson hastily cuts in, "Including the two suspects?"

"Yes. The president is planning to evacuate soon onto a helicopter. The entire United States is almost being overrun. Not even the MIB, the IMF or the UN can help."

"Ok thanks." He closes the wrist watch as he looks towards them, "There is your answer." "Great now how are we going to get there?" Shelly asked as Kaminev enters the conversation, "We had just destroyed our mode of transport..." He stared at Dwayne (It was his idea for a 'superhero landing' which had been botched) as he spoke in Russian. After understanding him through his translation, Dwayne looks at the mangled wreck as he replied, " I have an idea..."
