Heroes Chapter 19

My what? No. I can't start going crazy just yet. My friends need me. I can't have voices floating around in my head.

As you wish.

I shook my head and gave my full attention to the screen. Mira had her hands glowing and blasted Grunge point-blank. The creature showed no pain, in fact, it seemed to be grinning. "Tickles." He growled. He charged them.

Kenny unleashed a full telekinetic blast on him, but it only slowed him down little to nothing. Ares pulled an automatic shotgun out of the air, and fired multiple times, but made no mark. Grunge swiped his arm and sent the trio doing flips in the air.

Then you can hear another voice through a speaker. From off screen, "Hey! Meat-bag!" It was Dexter's voice. The camera had to turn and refocus on his voice. There, in the middle of the street, was a robot. It had to be about ten feet tall. The main body of the thing was a bowl, with a dome over it to make a complete ball. The dome was darkened, so you couldn't see whatever was inside. The arms and legs had to be seven to eight feet from shoulder to fingers and from hip to foot. The forearms/ shins of the machine were a bit bigger than the upper arms/ thighs. The right hand had three fingers and a thumb, the left hand was a three fingered claw instead of an actual hand. The machine stepped forward and, in Dexter's voice, said, "Pick on someone your own size!"

Grunge looked at the machine man. He grinned his crooked teeth. "This be fun fight all-ready." He stumbled and charged towards Dexter. Dexter and Grunge connected, and they tumbled through the streets, slightly denting metal and still not doing any damage to the monster. I heard Jessie behind me suck breath in a hiss. Dexter somehow ended on top of his back, he used his claw hand to pick Grunge by his head and fling him through the street. Grunge got up without a scratch.

Grunge stumbled forward suddenly, and I could see that Kenny had gotten up with Ares and Mira. Ares was now holding a grenade launcher and shot it several times. There were scorch marks on Grunge's shoulder, chest, and stomach area due to the barrage of grenades. He fell back only to get back up. Mira put her cupped palms next to each other and faced them towards Grunge. The blast was an undescribable mixture of colors. It hit Grunge in his face and hit the ground, hard.

The trio and Dexter approached the creature cautiously. The creature was out cold. The police saw it was safe as well. Someone shouted, "All of you! Put your hands in the air!" The guns were now pointing at my friends. I honestly didn't see that coming. Jessie gasped and covered her mouth with her hands.

Fortunately, Dexter was a quick thinker. He scooped up Mira, Kenny, and Ares and used the Treadmills on the bottoms of his feet to speed away. The police called after them, but not a single shot was fired.

I took a deep breath. Now, to figure out the freaking voice floating around in my skull.
