Hope for the human race: Part 3 (No, really)

Rag's going to catch you up on the fights against Don and Diffy, that's where part 2 is, so hop over to his blog and he'll give his take on that. This is what happened afterwards.
SOLAR were a bit, overconfident about fighting Diffy, but I had a message of warning for them.

'There is a boy, somewhere out there, who used to be our friend. He got corrupted by power, went mad, and has since killed at least 347 people, demolished 36 buildings, kidnapped 5 of my friends, become a nuclear bomb over 27 times, teamed up with a reality warping psychopath, survived 2 distortions to the timeline of our adventures, turned one of the sweetest, happiest girls I know into a dark, life sucking monster, and escaped death at least 93 times. And Diffy reduced him to a quivering wreck, incapable of doing anything but shuddering in a corner, muttering to himself.'

So yeah, I banned Diffy from nightmare clouding any of them (He likes Ragnarok anyway, but he isn't getting on well with glutton). He did do a wisp of it in Glutton's direction, but overall he was fairly well behaved. SOLAR has gotten used to the idea of someone so young and childish actually having experience and skills, and overall it went fairly well.

So, after this, SOLAR started to grin, and looked to me.
'What?'
'Well, surely now we get to fight you?'
'Uhhhh, hasn't Rag told you how many powers and years of experience I have?'
'Do you have Telepathy?'
'Nooooo........'
'We can take you'
'Ooo, ah....uh.....fine. I'll give you a battle. I want it noted though, that I'm beating you all up under protest.'
'You didn't have a problem with the others doing it....'
'They have one or no power. I'm an unfair advantage. So, as a group?'
'We need experience of fighting multitypes. Besides, I reckon I could take you on individually. Your main powers that tech wiz stuff, yeah, talking to computers? How can that help here? And you have forcefields and that weird colour one. What are you going to do, colour me in?'
'Incog, one day you will learn. Fine, lets say I only used my natural ability, Technopathy. I turned all the computers here at the base into transformers as part of the security upgrade, there's any number of ways they could hurt you, Me and Hana modified my phone so it's got a sort of taser attachment, I can activate security protocols 1 - 9 by thought, that's nets, pressure sensitive miniature explosives, tanks of knockout gas, you get the idea. Oh, and the thin silver lines along the floor can instantly become red hot if needed. I call it the hotfooter. I really don't want intruders or government people getting in here and finding out about all of us. Of course, you wanted me to use multiple powers for experience fighting that so......'
'........Yeah, all as a group sounds good, let's do that.'

I stood in the middle of the cavernous basement room, and they all took places round the edge, while the rest of the old VHS gang sought higher ground, on a big ridge along one side.
Incognito popped out of sight, Skyblade made a sweeping motion with a hand, Rag ran forwards, Maxmin started to grow, and Glutton shot spit, which flew underneath me as I rose into the air in a forcefield. A roll of thunder filled the cavern, as rain began to pour. Rag slipped and crashed into Glutton as I summoned a column of water upwards, and thrust my hand inside. deep blue swelled inside the column of water, spreading down and across the layer of water on the floor. Two holes in the water fled from the black wave, splashing furiously, but they were enveloped and the black spread up, forming a boy with a furious look on his face. The black in the water receded.
'Thanks for the idea, Incognito, worked like a dream' I chuckled. I turned and had to duck quickly as a massive fist nearly took me down. I fired lightning at the floor, still drenched in water, and it spread like wildfire, zapping everyone. Maxmin groaned, shrinking a little, but I heard laughter, and saw Ragnarok with sparks dancing at his fingers. He aimed at me, with a huge grin.
'No! Don't fire it standing in water! It'll do what I did!'
'Too late. He launched it, his body crackling, and let out a yell as his body reacted with the water and he shocked himself. Incognito was charging at me, fully visible, but I used a tentacle of forcefield to sweep him in the way of the wall of air Skyblade was sending my way. I then used it to reach out for glutton, who was preparing to spew again. He shot acid at the forcefield, which fizzed, and steamed, but stayed intact. He frowned, but when it got to him, he bit the end off. he gave me a smug look as I stared at the hole in the end of my forcefield.
I fully admit, that threw me a bit. 'Well....that's new.....'
'Ha! Ergh, that tastes awful...'
I sent him flying backwards with a gust of wind, but toppled as a hand grabbed my ankle. I extend me floating platform for a safe landing, and turned to see Incognito had got hold of the edge of my forcefield, climbed up, and grabbed me. I phased out of his grip, got rid of the bit he was holding onto, and sent fire from the bottom of the platform, to stop climbers. Maxmin was towering over me again, so I gestured at the stone floor beneath him, and it crumbled and gave way, creating a huge pit, lowering him from view. I saw Skyblade running up steps of air towards me, a made a wall of forcefield that he smacked straight into.
At this point a huge jet of flame slammed into my back, sending me flying from my platform. Luckily I was drenched from the rain. Smouldering, I caught myself in a forcebowl, and swung round to see a beaming Ragnarok, a fireball in his hand. 'Didn't it occur to you this might happen?'
I sent the water at his feet into a wave that covered him, putting out his fire. Standing there, shivering, he breathed in concentrating. 'Oh no you don't' I smiled, putting a hand behind my back and summoning a mini black hole to suck in the acid I could hear Glutton launching, while with my other hand I made a forcefield around Rag's head. 'Hate to do it to you rag' I said as the cloud of chlorine he'd just expelled swirled round his head, trapped, causing him to cough, splutter, and keel over.
I looked round at them. Rag was out cold, Maxmin was struggling out the hole, or trying to, Incognito groaning, lying in the shallow water, a burnt bit of shirt steaming, Skyblade had recovered, and I only just dodged a blade of air, but it made a small cut in my cloak. I parted some of the stone in the floor, and a vine grew from the earth and coiled round him, stopping him gesturing and commanding the air, and froze the water around his feet, turning it to ice.

I heard a groan from behind me. I saw Glutton getting up, leaning against the cavern wall, rubbing his head, and looking at me.
'Nice. Didn't use your tech thingy though, did you? Incognito was right.'
I shrugged. 'Have it your way.'
The security camera above him sparked, and fell on his head. He collapsed to the floor, and high above him, on the ceiling, a green light flashed and a net descended, falling on him.

I made a parting motion with my hands as I walked off, and part of the ceiling shrank away, letting Healthbar's sunbeam fall into the room. It struck the shallow water, which glowed slightly, and spread the healing to everybody. I was impressed. 'Automatic power channeling? She's good.' I examined my cape as I left for the stairs, calling back 'Hey! There a smoking hole AND a cut in this! If Lily can't fix it, you guys are in trouble!'

Our dear departed friend gave me that cape. Lily's coming round tonight to see if she can fix it with her molecular control power. So yeah, sorry this took so long to do, been busy with Uni, etc.

Oh! Nearly forgot to mention, that girl that posted on my post a while ago. We found her, safe and sound, she's in the safe house with Sandy. More later. Bye for now!
