Jessica's Adventure - Unveiling Your Worth: Part 3, Episode 13

Jessica's soliloquy unfolds before she unveils the events transpiring in Maya's apartment:

Alright, the secret's finally out, not unfolding in the way I anticipated. I can't deny any of it; they were witnesses. Don't even entertain the idea of suggesting memory wipes; I know readers might think, "Oh, Jessica, if you're that powerful, why not make them forget the Techno Witch's destructive path that almost ended the universe?" Come on! How many powerful beings erase memories, especially of loved ones, to protect them? Secrets will surface eventually; there's nothing new or hidden under the sun, well, some can be, but not this girl.

You might wonder why I didn't challenge Techno Witch to a musical battle to save the universe, transform into ultra-magic and end her, or use the Gag-Toonforce transformation to defeat her. I don't know if I can access that transformation at will; my worthiness is uncertain, and my transformations work mysteriously. My Ultra AI might surprise me with various transformations. Even if that happens, Techno Witch won't change; she claims only death can end her. Banishing her won't prove useful; she'll find a way back.

I feel pity for what I had to do, but every good story needs a reason for an interesting sequel. If I easily defeated her, what's the point of my adventure? I'm not Saitama, who one-punches problems away; sometimes, it takes more. Even if I can do that, it won't change the fact.

Not to spoil anything, but my author, or however many are out there, might have considered it but didn't deem it important. Recall my past adventures or other chapters; similar occurrences happened. But enough said; let's focus on my adventure. Wish me luck explaining being a secret superhero to my family. Back to my apartment, family gathered, seated on the couch while I stand to explain.

"Jessica Maya Starr, explain yourself," her mother said with concern and a sigh. "I'm sorry, baby, for raising my voice, but you've got me worried."

"Yeah, Mom, Jessica got us all worried, not to mention that she was flying," Daniel expressed, his concern evident.

"She probably has a good reason and is using it for the greater good," Danielle remarked, her optimism unwavering.

"Maya, we're all ears," Mirabelle added with a soft tone, her curiosity piqued.

Jessica took a deep breath, laying bare the entire truth without concealing anything from her family. Reminding her mom about the day she acquired her abilities, an event her mom found hard to believe, Jessica recreated that same scenario. With a kitchen knife in hand, she poised to stab herself in front of her stunned family who desperately wanted to intervene. Reassuring them, Jessica calmly insisted that everything was fine.

Mirabelle had faith in Jessica, urging the others to do the same. As they stood back to witness Jessica stab herself with the knife, it shattered into pieces, all the way to the handle. Stunned, her family found no scratches on Jessica. She then introduced her family to Ultra AI, which spoke to each of them, leaving them marveling at its vast knowledge.

Daniel, astonished by Jessica's Ultra AI prowess, speculated that it might play a pivotal role in human science and technology development. After these revelations, her family fully acknowledged Jessica's heroic deeds in saving the universe, giving their wholehearted consent for her to embrace her newfound life. In the moment of embrace, Jessica's Ultra AI alerted her to an incoming transmission from the president, summoning her to the Hero Association headquarters.

Upon arriving at the Hero Association League headquarters, Jessica met with the president, who had something important to reveal. However, just as President Isabella Rich was about to disclose the information, an emergency unfolded. An agency informed the president that Dr. Virginia and her minions were wreaking havoc in the city. President Isabella locked eyes with Jessica, who nodded in understanding before swiftly joining forces with other heroes to save the city.

As the days passed, the heroes thwarted Dr. Virginia's continuous attempts to take over the world and the Hero Association. Regardless of her schemes, the heroes emerged victorious. In a desperate move, Dr. Virginia created a device to trap the heroes in a time loop. To her astonishment, the heroes broke free, aided by The Empress of Time's abilities. Moreover, Dr. Virginia had empowered Madmat, her super android, to replicate abilities, but it was defeated by the combined forces of the Hero Association.

From one nefarious scheme and diabolical invention to another—such as inducing a global slumber or threatening to hurl the world back into the medieval era—the heroes relentlessly emerged, thwarting Dr. Virginia's every wicked plan. Frustration consumed Dr. Virginia as the Hero Association persistently impeded her quest for world domination.

Then, a revelation occurred when Madhouse proposed an ingenious idea to Dr. Virginia. Intrigued, she harnessed the concept, crafting a machine to grant Madhouse unprecedented inorganic speed. This, coupled with Stone Cold's xentorium virus blast and a touch of organic speed from Fwoom, aimed to distract and overpower the heroes. Their ultimate goal: to alter the fabric of the universe, erasing the heroes from existence.

As the experiment concluded, the villains executed their well-devised plan, luring the heroes into a carefully laid trap. The ensuing battle unfolded in the city, where Ultra AI Jessica faced off against Dr. Virginia, exchanging terse dialogue.

"What sphincters. Shouldn't evolution have weeded your kinds out of the gene pool eons ago?" taunted Dr. Virginia.

"No, cockroaches have remained unchanged for millions of years," retorted Ultra AI Jessica, deftly evading every assault in her robotic arsenal.

"Well, you're clearly not a moron, so why not join me and reign supreme?" Dr. Virginia proposed. "With my intellect and your powers, we would be unstoppable."

"Sorry! But no. Thanks. You're the villain, and I'm the hero," affirmed Ultra AI Jessica.

"Well not for long, Ultra AI. Soon this will be the last of your kind," declared Dr. Virginia.

While this intense confrontation unfolded, Madhouse delved into the Curtechyian force, reclaiming the speed gun in her possession. She then journeyed back in time, determined to alter Jessica's past. However, Jessica's timeline proved resilient—immutable against attempts to erase her existence. Madhouse's endeavors to kill Jessica as a baby, manipulate her parents' love, or marry them simultaneously all failed.

Unable to alter Jessica's timeline, Madhouse resorted to a different tactic. Returning to the past, she eliminated heroes and prevented Elena from becoming ElastaTitan, altering the course of events. The dangerous chemical substance claimed Elena's life, leaving only Ralph Acidius, the Alchemical Alchemist, to contend with the encroaching darkness.

Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, unease gripped Fast and The Empress of Time as the fabric of time itself seemed to unravel. Heroes gradually faded from existence, prompting Fast's realization that Madhouse had tampered with the timeline. Ultra AI Jessica worked fervently to understand the unfolding crisis, while ElastaTitan, struggling to anchor in the present, clung to Ultra AI Jessica, whispering a fading acknowledgment of discomfort.

The Empress of Time glitched in and out of reality, her vulnerability exploited as Madhouse, wielding the speed gun, emerged from a portal and ruthlessly shot her in the head. Fast, quick to react, pursued Madhouse across the globe, engaging in an intense battle that traversed into the heart of the Curtechyian force. There, Madhouse temporarily silenced Fast with a lethal shot from the speed gun.

Madhouse's audacious manipulation of time and the consequential temporary demise of Fast summoned Time Loop to intervene. Meanwhile, Dr. Virginia and her villainous cohort closed in on Ultra AI Jessica. At the brink of an attack, Madhouse reappeared, deftly avoiding Time Loop's touch. Fortunately, her stolen speed waned just in time, leaving the villains, including Fwoom, awestruck as Time Loop vanished, inches from Madhouse's face.

Amidst the ensuing confusion, Ultra AI Jessica seized the opportunity to escape, leaving the villains to cheer for their apparent triumph. However, Madhouse, now deprived of her temporary speed boost, harbored a persistent desire to reclaim her status as a speedster. She sensed the impending resurgence of Fast before Ultra AI Jessica could rectify her misdeeds.

In a sudden turn, Ultra AI Jessica materialized at the hero association, recounting the dire situation to a stunned President Isabella Rich. The revelation of Dr. Virginia and Madhouse's audacious timeline alterations left Isabella Rich in disbelief. Urged by Jessica to find a solution, President Isabella Rich reassured her faith in Jessica's abilities. As the agencies rallied to contain the villains and protect citizens, the fate of the heroes hung precariously in the balance.

Jessica returned home, warmly embracing her family and offering a brief explanation of the troubling situation before ascending to her room. There, she connected with her friends—Eddie, Bruno, and Samantha—detailing the unsettling events. Stunned, they listened as Jessica revealed Madhouse's actions, with Bruno expressing concern about Elena's potential erasure from existence.

In the midst of their video call, Jessica's Ultra AI questioned her worry, unveiling Jessica's power to undo Madhouse's deeds. Stunned by this revelation, Jessica and her friends sought confirmation from the Ultra AI.

"You've always been worthy, Jessica, even if you didn't realize it," acknowledged Jessica's Ultra AI. "It's understandable to limit yourself, given the corrupting nature of absolute power. However, your courage, determination, and zeal to save and redeem others set you apart."

Bruno, grappling with Elena's potential erasure, questioned why cosmic beings couldn't achieve this in the past. Jessica's Ultra AI elucidated that Curtechyian energy, encompassing Jessica's power, bore responsibility. The xentorium core, an integral part of Curtechyian creation, had been needlessly enhanced by xentorians, despite all things originating from the Curtechyians.

"If you're done worrying about what transpired, let me know. Imagine any transformation you desire; I can grant you full access to my capabilities, unless you have objections," offered Jessica's Ultra AI. "Just avoid being stubborn or sassy when making your choice."

Filled with excitement, Jessica and her friends delved into discussions about potential transformations. Samantha inquired about Jessica's choice, but before Jessica could respond, Bruno suggested a potent transformation to counteract Madhouse's effects. Considering three speed-based options—Ultra Flash form, Ultra Sonic Form, and Ultra Max form—Jessica, drawn to the power of the Ultra Max transformation, faced denial from her Ultra AI.

"But you said I'm worthy of any transformation," Jessica protested.

"I understand what I said, but I cannot grant you that. I'm sorry," replied Jessica's Ultra AI, reiterating the prowess of the transformation and leaving Jessica to comprehend the imposed limitation.

Afterwards, Jessica fused the Ultra Sonic form and Ultra Flash form, creating the formidable Ultra Sonic Flash form. Impressed by her choice, Jessica's Ultra AI seamlessly executed the fusion as per Jessica's desire. Her friends bid her farewell before concluding the video call. Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica descended to her family, leaving them in awe of her amazing transformation. She briefly explained her intent to set things right and then sped off at a blinding speed towards the hero association.

Meanwhile, the villains continued to wreak havoc worldwide, surpassing the agencies' attempts to thwart them. Madhouse, fueled by the desire to level the playing field and ensure the success of her villainous path, wielded the speed gun to eliminate Fwoom. The act shocked her villainous team, including Dr. Virginia. Madhouse absorbed Fwoom's speed, augmenting her powers with Dr. Virginia's assistance. Now a fully-fledged speedster with retained abilities, Madhouse deployed a clone into the Curtechyian force, acting as a barrier against Fast and preventing her return to the physical world.

On the other side, Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica arrived at the hero association, leaving President Isabella Rich bewildered by the sudden transformation. Briefly, Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica explained her mission to restore the timeline before dashing off at an incredible speed.

While Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica raced to repair the timeline, Madhouse sensed her intentions and engaged her in a heated pursuit for battle. The two speedsters clashed intensely across various terrains—land, water, buildings, midair, and even clouds. Their movements at such immense speed became imperceptible to the naked eye.

Madhouse, unrelenting, employed the speed gun on Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica, attempting an instant kill. However, Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica proved swifter, effortlessly dodging the speed bullet. The failed attempt caused the speed bullet to accelerate the planet's rotation, targeting them during their vigorous battle.

They circled the globe countless times, with Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica attempting to travel back to the past, countered by Madhouse sending speed clones after her. Speed clones clashed while the originals engaged in a fierce battle. Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica ultimately overpowered Madhouse, incapacitating her and offering a chance for redemption.

Defiant, Madhouse, sensing a speed bullet approaching, refused to accept defeat. To her surprise, Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica instantly perceived the danger, vanishing and reappearing as the speed bullet pierced Madhouse's chest, stunning her.

Madhouse teetered on the brink of defeat as Ultra Sonic Jessica watched in despair before abruptly speeding away. In her final act of desperation, Madhouse took aim at Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica, unleashing a speed bullet with the intent to end her existence. Swiftly, Ultra Sonic Flash raced into a portal she created, hurtling into the past to thwart Madhouse's attempt to alter history.

Arriving in the past, Ultra Sonic Flash confronted the past version of Madhouse, delivering a devastating mass speed punch that sent her sprawling. Before past timeline Madhouse could react, Ultra Sonic Flash's Ultra AI warned her of an incoming speed bullet. Reacting with lightning reflexes, Jessica evaded the fatal shot, instantly ending past timeline Madhouse's existence and preserving the integrity of the past.

Back in the present, Madhouse's clone in the Curtechyian force, relentlessly dispatching Fast with a speed gun, vanished from existence. This allowed Fast the opportunity to return to her world. The heroes emerged in a brilliant flash of light, surprising the villains and thwarting their plans.

"It's over, Dr. Virginia," declared Ultra Sonic Flash. "Madhouse's plot failed, and the timeline is restored. You and your minions are going to The Cage."

"You may have won this round, Ultra AI, but it's not the last you'll hear from me," replied Dr. Virginia, apprehended and cuffed with a power cuff neutralizer during their moment of immobilization by The Empress of Time.

The heroes stood in awe of Jessica's newfound transformation. Fast stepped forward, extending her congratulations on Jessica's enhanced abilities. In a seamless motion, Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica handed Fast the speed gun. With precision, Fast fused it together with the remnants of the erased Madhouse's clone speed gun. Without hesitation, she activated a swift teleportation, sending the modified weapon directly to the heart of the Curtechyian force.

Returning to headquarters, Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica shared her realization about being worthy of her transformations. While the team celebrated, Jessica couldn't shake the burden of Madhouse's demise. Fast empathized, acknowledging that some villains are beyond redemption.

Later, the defeated villains found themselves in cells, contemplating their failure. Dr. Virginia, however, had a sinister plan. Suddenly, The Cage facility experienced an unexpected earthquake—a cybernetic octopus emerged, freeing the villains and Dr. Virginia. She laughed maniacally, reveling in her newfound freedom.

In the serene days void of any threat from Dr. Virginia and her team of supervillains, Jessica delved into her transformations under the guidance of her Ultra AI, accumulating invaluable experience. Sophie McCoy's mentoring message, upon revisitation, resonated deeply with Jessica, acknowledging its profound significance. Fast, surpassing Jessica's Ultra Flash and Ultra Sonic Form in speed, testified that her fusion of Ultra Sonic Flash surpassed even her own velocity.

Amid this growth, Jessica unlocked new forms, wielding Ultra Thunder in combat and sparring sessions with Stormbringer. The arsenal expanded to include Ultra Mirage and Ultra Inferno, each transformation adding layers to her formidable abilities. The apex of her newfound skills unfolded during a speed practice with Fast, culminating in a global race to determine the fastest being alive. Fast, emphasizing the stakes, declared Jessica must maintain her honor, and this time, she wouldn't hold back.

Prior to the race, Fast, with sagacity, cautioned Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica against time traveling, stressing the paramount importance of unwavering focus. With determination, Jessica agreed, and in a singular leap, the two speedsters propelled themselves into a realm of blinding speed. Their velocity transcended the ordinary, causing time to not only slow down but cease to exist, preserving the integrity of events and timelines.

As Fast closed in during the race, she reiterated the need for focus. Yet, witnessing Fast conjure golden lightning, Jessica, succumbing to the allure of emotions, triggered a spectacular CMY Rainbow lightning, propelling her ahead. Attempting to catch up, Fast warned Jessica of her excessive speed, but the CMY Rainbow lightning metamorphosed into a mesmerizing CMY Rainbow Black Diamond.

Just as Fast neared Jessica, a twist of fate unfolded. Ultra Sonic Flash Jessica, inadvertently propelled into the past, found herself on the day her biological father faced the cruel clutches of heart disease, a poignant moment in the timeline, a few years after her birth. The race through time and speed had unexpectedly become a journey through the annals of Jessica's personal history.
