Heroes flew around Washington D.C. firing madly at the three villains that hovered over the buildings.
Furious Squirrel used both his Steampunk Pistols to blast at the Green hero, nailing him twice in the chest. Then Furious jumped from an overturned car and threw a special disc into the air. It grew in size until it was as wide as a beach towel. An energy blast from the villain met the mirror-like disc and reflected harmlessly into the air.
The APS dashed next to Furious and then skidded under a laser blast. A large section of the road exploded behind him as he threw a spear at the flying hero. He then snapped his fingers and a black dog raced by him, and bounded up the side of a building and snatched the spear from the villain, ripping it out of his side and bringing it back to The APS.
Furious blasted twice again with his pistols. “Hey, APS, watch it! Nova said we had to minimize property damage.”
The APS deflected a laser with a wrist shield. “Sure he did, but he also said we are to bring these jerks down. A little burnt asphalt is worth getting the shot.”
Silver Paladin landed on the ground and then jumped to the side when an energy beam almost spliced him. He stopped and shook the large mechanical fist on his arm. “Work, you piece of junk!”
Furious rushed over. “What’s that?”
“A Tech Fist I got from BADGE hero support. It’s short circuiting or something. WATCH IT!” Silver Paladin shoved Furious away just in time for a laser to miss both of them.
A voice came over the comm, “Nova to heroes, disengage the Tech Fists at once. Something is interfering with them. Remember to focus on keeping the city as intact as possible. Also, bring those villains in alive…”
Zombie Ex-girlfriend growled over the comm, “Are you serious!? Alive! They’re trying to murder
people!”
Nova answered, which everyone could hear both of them at this point. “Yes. These are brainwashed, innocent people. We have to try and save them. However, bringing them down is the top priority.”
Silver Paladin muttered, “this is going to make this battle take twice as long...ugh!”
The comm ended, and the heroes returned to their fight. More than one shed the special BADGE tech that was malfunctioning.
****Delta chortled as he and Dr. Osteen watched the battle from their safe location inside yet another dark, secret laboratory.
“I applaud your ingenuity, Dr. Osteen. However did you interfere with that BADGE tech?”
Osteen smiled while a woman flying by their brainwashed augments struggled to remove the large glove over her arm. The augment was chasing her at the same time. “They use a wireless tech that employs a type seven Bluetooth programming. A simply hacking program messed with all of them at the same time.”
“And, in the middle of the battle, perfect.” Delta’s glasses flashed as explosions flickered on the screen.
Osteen asked, “what if the augments finish off the heroes?”
“They won’t. That is not part of the plan. Let the heroes think they won. All I need to know right now is, do you have the weapons ready for the ultimate act of this little play?”
Osteen gestured to a series of large weapons on a table behind him. “They are completely upgraded and ready for your soldiers.”
“Good.”
