Chapter 6: ROOTless 2

"We've watched how and the reason they became evil. Now for the introduction of their superpowers." Franklin said starting to display the next video clip.

The first member was Max, and his power was corresponding to the first letter in ROOTles, similar to VINES. His power was Replication. Which means he had the power to clone his self into several parts. The limit of his power was 10 clones incincludng his self which made the total 11. The disadvantage was that his clones were not as strong as he was.

Next up was Owen. He has the power of Osteokinesis. Which means he has the power to manipulate bones. To crush them within you, or to expand them till they explode!

Next up was Olivia. She has the power to take on obsidian form. Which means she has the power to take on the form of a monster resembling Godzilla, but not as gigantic. Up to the height of the tallest man in the world by 2024, 9 feet and 15 inches! Finally the last member, Hadron. Hadron is not human. His from another planet called Zart. He can disguise his self as a human, but that is not his power. He has the power of Technopathy. This is the ability to psychically perceive and interface with technology. With this power he could turn Franklin evil and use him against the VINES.

After watching the clips, the feeling this time wasn't remorse but amzement and hopelessness. How could they defeat people with such amazing powers. It seemed impossible to achieve such a task, but Franklin assured them time, more training, dedication, and putting their heads together they could defeat ROOTless.

"Guys don't worry, I will never turn evil. You can do it! The last two VINES had failed against the previous ROOTlesses, but I see something special in every single person present here in this meeting room. You guys are different. I informed the previous VINES 'bout their losses in the future through a vision, but they all thought I was just kidding. But one thing still suprises me, i never knew where the vision came from!" Franklin said trying to boost up their fighting and team spirit.

Little did they know including Franklin, that the pendant was created by a god named Sato in the form of a human, back in 1996. He passed it to Bella's generation of VINES in 1997 as a reward, after the previous generation of VINES had failed. He created the pendant, to give choose humans to fight off ROOTless from Earth twin, the planet created by his evil twin brother Xato who was also a god.

Soon they started to think of plans they need inorder to defeat ROOTless.

" Alright team, here's what we know 'bout ROOTless. They come from Earth twin, they have awesome powers like us but a little bit better, and they're evil. But we don't know their current location. Let's think this true. They are similar to us in almost everything, maybe evil location. The name of this city is Springville, and have you guys noticed that it has the letters V I N E S?!, So that means that they must also be in a city with the letters R O O T! Quinn, said as the leader during the meeting.

"Brilliant, just f*ucking brilliant!" Franklin exclaimed, and yes he can use cuss words. He's a more advanced ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

"Franklin each Earth twin for locations with the letters R O O T, I don't know if your location sensors can go that far, but just give it a try." Said Quinn.

"Okay." Franklin said as he began to scan Earth twin for locations with the letters R O O T. Finally, he pulled together four locations. Soar tower, Roasting hobo club where hobos gamble, and set the loser on fire in a barbeque, rodeo town, and troop camp.

"Jax, can you teleport all of us to these four locations to look for them?, Even though they've got a sad back story no bad deed goes unpinished." Quinn said in a heroic manner.

"Yeah, but I have never in my freaking life, been to Earth twin. I can do it if I can get the pics of these locations" Jax replied.

"Franklin, you know what to do." Said Jason.

"I'll be right on that Jason." Franklin said in a employee tone of voice

Frankin started to search for the pics of the four locations on the dimensional wide web, dww he could pull through. The pics looked depressing except for the one of rodeo town. Fires consuming the other three locations, with smoke, cars with broken classes from riots, and blood on the hands of those who murdered those unfortunate to be born in Earth twin. Truly, this was the work of ROOTless. Only rodeo camp wasn't so depressing.

It was obvious that was their next target. So they had to live there. Franklin pulled from the web, that rodeo camp ws named after nomads who became a Cow boys, a little bit before the civil war with their own people, the indigenes who had lived there. It was an act of rebellion against their king to show discontent about the way he treated his subjects unfairly. Jax gathered the team including Franklin. But the problem was how Franklin would come with them. Fortunately, Pheobe was a tech genius. She stated that she just needed some parts to build a robot body for Franklin. Quinn STOLE the needed parts to build the body for Franklin from the hard ware store, with her speed Manipulation. She paused time and did what she had to do. With the teams' help especially Quinn and Pheobe's they where able to build the body for Franklin within 15 minutes.

"Thanks everyone, but Quinn did you really have to steal my parts?" Franklin asked.

"Of course! I didn't have any cash on me at the moment and besides, haven't you heard "sometimes you've got to break the rules, to enforce the rules"? By the way that quote was from nickelodeon, but I can't remenber the show or who said it ." Quinn said justifying her actions.

"Is everyone ready to visit Earth twin?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah!" The rest all said in Unism.

Soon, Jax teleported them to Rodeo camp, where they suspected ROOTless to be. The time was 18:03 in all dimensions but, in the cave it was 14:03. It turned out that they were right. They saw ROOTless hidden behind some bushes, waiting to ambush a store containing antiques of the civil war. But the antiques were not important, what was important there was the key to other dimensions, but the never knew who planted the key there. Little did they know that it was Xato.

"Well well well, this is the almighty undefeatable team ROOTless." Quinn said talking to their leader Max.

"Yeah, you can say that again." Max said while smiling.

"But, this generation of VINES, our generation will be the ones undefeatable this time!" Jason said with pride.

"Oh really?, ROOTless assemble!" Max said, calling all members ROOTless.

They arranged their formation with each member facing, the opposing team VINES according to their position on the team.

"Attack!" Olivia said transforming to her obsidian form.

Now, the real battle had begun! Max took on Quinn. He replicated his self to his limit, 10 clones all sorrounding Quinn at the middle, they charged but Quinn just stayed in one place! One after they charged towards her. She used the same simple moves she used when fighting Vivian, now it was only her and the original copy Max. Max couldn't create more copies, his power came with a 6 minute cool down. It was a tough battle between the two leaders. Using martial arts, and kungfu fists collided with fists with Quinn dodging every single one , all thanks to her superpower. She slowed Max's attacks down, even though she was the one with more leverage, she still defeated him with a simple attack showing her kindness towards her enemy. She pulled both of him arms behind his back. Then she released one of his arms kicked him in his balls and threw him forwards, breaking his arm Being cruel would be just killing him with the dagger in her right pocket.

Meanwhile, Owen and Jason were having their own battle. Before Jason could burn Owen face completely, as that was his plan, Owen had already started to manipulate Jason's bones. He stopped bone movement in his whole body, then sweeper him of the floor. Pheobe seeing Jason needed some help and seeing she had the upper hand in her own battle, blasted Owen with a lightening bolt. Jason on the other hand, had broken his arm like Max.

While Pheobe was helping Max, Olivia saw the chance to eliminate Pheobe, but she dodged the attack acquiring a deep cut on her foot.

Jax just teleported Hadron to another dimension but he appeared outta no where. Then he transmitted a message to Owen, using his home language to hold Jax down. By that time it was all 7:30, Chloe was now useful. She informed Jax, but Jax was to busy to listen. So she took matter into her own hands and attacked Hadron. Hadron manipulated Franklin using his Technopathy, turning him evil. Quinn seeing that her team was gonna lose told Jax to teleport them back home without Franklin, at that time he was free Owen's trap!
