Chapter: 2015 Halloween Special


 
“Ooh! A Haunted House!”

Yells Koko. Her sudden outcry causes Danny to jerk in his seat. His car, a Mazda Eunos Roadster (NA Special Package) ‘89 jerks forward a bit.

“You frightened me Koko Cola!” Remarks Danny. “Don’t yell like that! I could’ve gottin a ticket if I passed the walking line while the stop light was red.”

The red light in question turns green as the car slowly propels forward. This year’s Halloween was odd, the weather is stellar! The sun was shining bright, the sky was crystal blue and the brisk air blew through Danny’s blonde hair.

“I told you not to give me nicknames Master.” Koko said annoyed. “Call me “Koko” and nothing else.”

Danny chuckled as he drove past the quiet neighborhood homes. The various houses were decked out with Halloween related icons. Inflatable witches, cobwebs and pumpkins as far as the eye could see. Glancing at the paper in Koko’s hands, Danny inquires of this “Haunted House.”

“What’s this about a “Haunted House” now Koko Puff?”

Koko shoots him an nasty glare. Danny chuckles again, unfazed at her vengeful leering.

“A Haunted House is being hosted on Avenue Grand tonight.” Koko says emphatically. “It’s the place’s 6 year Anniversary! It sounds fun! Let’s go!”

Pulling into the parking lot of a Costume shop, Koko skips excitedly into the establishment’s cobweb infested entrance. Danny following behind her.

“I thought we were gonna pass out treats to the kids in front of the house?” Danny asks.

“Those “ankle biters” have enough homes to pillage tonight.” She replies. “Besides if we go to a Haunted House I can wear something like this!”

Koko twirls around, revealing a skimpy maid’s outfit costume. Danny’s eye widen. A Asian in an revealing maid’s outfit?! He thinks to himself.

“Well…A…That’s true…” He’s lost all composure.

“This one is cute too!” Koko exclaims

Tossing the maid’s costume at the befuddled young adult, Danny quickly becomes a living coat hanger for Koko’s various choices of costumes.

Meanwhile in D.E.A.T.H.’s Secret Base

“Lady Hotflash!”

A calm and elegant voice echoes through the terrorist’s secret lair. The area in question is a large throne room. The golden floor glitters while the purple drapes shimmer overhead. Portraits of Lady Hotflash and a thin man, presumably the one who just spoke; adores the blood red walls.
Three golden thrones lay at the end of the room. The center throne is by the far biggest with lion statues for arm rests. Gold eagle wings hug the seat that holds a purple cushion. The smaller thrones lack these decorations, opting for a more pedestrian look.

Red is the color for these seat cushions. Seating on the left throne, legs crossed is a thin man with purple glasses. His long purple hair tied in a pony tail lays draped over his shoulder. Seconds later, the front door of the fairly large chamber blasts open.

A woman dressed in a orange halter top dress marches through the golden door, accompanied by four stagehands.

“You bellowed Minster Winecooler?” Hotflash replies nonchalantly.

Leering at the beautiful woman, the Minster falls back into his golden throne. His toothpick thin body hutched over, he takes a sip of his wine. Than speaks.

“Master Death has given an order my dear.” He explains. “After all, you know it’s Halloween today and the forces of darkness are at it’s peak! Our glorious Leader wants new recruits for his cause! So I have enlisted the aid of Cyform #13!”

“PumpQueen?” Lady Hotflash remarks as she caresses the flames dancing on the edges of her spotless dress. “Halloween does seem like a appropriate time to use her skills. I’m assuming she’ll enslave humans by placing her controlling pumpkins on them?”

“Precisely!” Winecooler exclaims. “A Haunted House is being hosted on Avenue Grand tonight. PumpQueen will mind control the party goers and bring them here, where they will become new Cyforms! Which brings me to why I called you. I want Cyforms Hank and Bobby to accompany her to the house!”

“No can do!” She replies sternly. “The boys will be trick or treating with the stagehands tonight. So PumpQueen will handle this herself! Now if you don’t mind, I have to explain to the hands which houses to allow Hank and Body to trick or treat at.”

With that Lady Hotflash and the stagehands march out of the golden throne room, leaving Winecooler alone.

“Well I suppose taking over the world doesn’t mean we can’t have trick or treating for the kiddies.” Replies the Minster.

Relaxing in his plush throne, Winecooler takes a sip from his glass.

As night falls, a screen door blasts open revealing a green and black bug man. The humanoid insect descends gleefully down the smooth wooden stairs.

“Nobody can stop the Masked Rider!”

The bug man proceeds to punch, kick and pose enthusiastically under the bright light of the full moon. The various trick or treaters walking to and fro stare silently at the thin adult. The bug man waves “hello” to the children cheering him on. Themselves also adorned in superhero attire.

“I’ve never seen that Power Ranger before.” Koko’s soft voice calls out.

Turning about the bug man sees Koko standing at the top of the stairs in a pink blouse and pink mini skirt. The words “Bulma” written on her shirt.

“You look great as Bulma Koko Puff!”

Removing the helmet, Danny brushes his blonde curly hair from his face. A giddy smile on his face.

“Your perfect as Dragon Ball’s Bulma! Your blue hair almost demands you be her.” Danny says happily. “Oh and I’m not a Power Ranger, I dressed up as “Saban’s Masked Rider.”

Jumping from the top of the stairs to the ground below, Koko tightens the red ribbon in her ocean blue hair as she walks up toward Danny. The women dressed up for Halloween glare at Koko, hissing under their breath. While the boys drool and avert their spandex adorned groinings.

“It’s “Koko.” “Ko…Ko!” She reaffirms. “Fail to call me by my correct name again Master and I will bury you deep underground.”

“Pft!” Danny turns his head in disinterest. “Like I can’t escape being buried.”

“Oh your so cute Master!” She mocks. “Like you could escape being buried 4,000 miles underground!”

Letting out a hearty laugh, the blue haired beauty clicks the “unlock” button on the car remote and hops into the passenger seat. While Danny stands still, an disturbed blank look on his face.

“Oh relax Danny-O!” She says. “Hop in! We don’t wanna be late to the opening of the Haunted House!”

Snapping out of his trance, Danny wanders over to the driver side door. The “pop” of the car door unlocking signals for the blonde male to enter. Holding out her hand, Koko drops the car keys into Danny’s opened palm. The engine turns over with a roar! The roaring vehecle startling the trick or treaters within the neighborhood.

“Wait. Didn’t I have the keys? How did you get them?” Wonders Danny.

“You left the keys in the house.” She remarks. “You were to busy chanting “Echophase Activate” as you ran through the house to notice.”

Danny’s cheeks turn bright red.

“You heard that?” He questions.

“I hear all your nerdy declarations. Thanks to the air vents within the house.” Koko chimes. “Now it’s “time for Time Force!”

Danny shoots her a look as he pulls the gear shift from park to drive. Pulling out of the parking space, the purple vehicle cruises down the neighborhood street.

“Time Force reference, not bad. “Says Danny.

“Oh that was Time Force?” Koko asks. “I thought that was SPC.”

“You mean “SPD” Koko.” Replies Danny.

“That’s the one Danny-boy!” She gleefully notes. “I paid the rent for the apartment, so we have some free money to spend at the Haunted House! Let’s go nuts!”

Danny smiles as he drives down the neighborhood infested with Halloween goers. Koko isn’t referring to me as “Master” anymore. Danny ponders to himself. She’s regaining her strength…Plus it’s Halloween! Dear God, please no D.E.A.T.H. agents today. Not today!

_____

“Welcome one and all to Avenue Grand’s Haunted House! We are celebrating six years of horror, terror, and gore! Muhahaha!”

On the outskirts of town, an remote area filled with nothing but barley sit’s an Mansion sized home. The house is coal black, dead vines cover various areas of the building. Some of the windows are dirty, and smeared. Whiles others are cracked or shattered completely.

All around the house lies uncared plants and black darkness. The house’s lot is huge, but the shadow of night isn’t telling you what’s there.

The oval welcoming sign looming over the blood stained gates stands an few feet from the house. The dozens of excited attendees wait eagerly before the closed gates, the dusty archaic speaker continues to welcome visitors by yelling at them.

“Soon you’ll be in for the horror of your lives! Just two minutes to go before you die! Muhahahaha!”

Walking though the parking lot in haste Koko and Danny navigate through the jammed packed lot.

“I told you to make that turn on I40.” Koko roars. “But no! You had to turn at E50!”

“Seriously!? You have powers that pretty much make you omnipresent, why didn’t you use them to figure out exactly where this place is?” Danny retorts.

“It’s Halloween!” She barks back. “If I send out my Familiars, their is a chance they’ll hunt down innocent people and kill them. This day is riddled with evil energy.”

Escaping the parking lot maze the two can see the gleeful attendees waiting in front of the entrance gate. The two run to join the other costume clad goers.

“So your saying that Halloween makes your Familiars vicious? Than how do you explain their unruly behavior on a normal basis?” Questions Danny.

“Hunger.” She responds.

“Hey Koko, Danny!”

Beth’s voice interrupts the duo’s conversation. She’s standing amongst the crowd in a Wonder Woman costume. Victor is behind her in a Spider Man costume. These two are friends of Danny and Koko who they met at a hot dog joint some time ago.

“Hey your dressed up as Masked Rider! How cool is that! I’m guessing you drove here in Magno?” Victor says while admiring Danny’s detailed costume.

“ Correct! Although I haven’t gotten her to talk yet.” Replies Danny. “However judging by the little bracelet on your wrist your dressed up as Japanese Spider Man.”

Victor raises his left arm to his covered face, flipping the bracelet open, he and Danny yell into.

“Marveller!”

Closing the bracelet, Victors makes a “V” with his arms. Danny joins him in this action. The two than shout.

“Marveller Change Leopardon!”

The two enjoy an hearty laugh as the girls engrossed in their own conversations, ignore them.

“I’ve never seen a black Wonder Woman before. The colors kinda clash.”

Koko says inspecting the young woman. Beth brushes the fake hair from her face and retorts.

“Ah, Halloween racism. Lovely.” Sighs Beth. “Well at least I didn’t leave my desert bandit boyfriend for an psychotic alien!”

Koko stares blankly at Beth not getting the meaning of what Beth just said. But the moment is disturbed by the loud speaker’s announcement that the Haunted House is now opening. The dozens of gleeful attendees shout and howl in excitement, as two employees of the establishment dressed as zombies open the gates. Danny, Koko, Beth, and Victor follow behind the stampeding crowd, but are left in the crowds dust as they disappear into the Haunted grounds.

Koko stops dead in her tracks, her eyes narrow as she snarls. Her nose twitches as she picks up a fowl scent.

“Don’t tell me?” Danny utters

“I smell a Cyform.” She hisses.

A woman’s blood curdling scream rings out scaring the four.

“Damn it D.E.A.T.H.!” Danny cries as he runs in the direction of the scream. “Also, seriously hunger Koko? Hunger!?”

Koko stays still, not moving an inch.

“Koko why aren’t you following him?” Asks Beth.

“The Familiar’s being hungry is a serious issue!” Koko yells in response.

Beth stares bewildered at Koko’s answer, meanwhile running through the ground’s thick, tall bushes Danny closes in on the screaming girl. Leaping high into the night sky, the youth lands behind the howling woman. She’s on her knees holding her head in her hands. Four zombies are dragging away a screaming young man.

“Not so fast D.E.A.T.H.!”

Dashing for the four zombies, the young adult, still in full costume leaps through the air. Reeling back his right arm, the blonde hero unleashes an hammering punch from the sky on the creature actually dragging the screaming man away. His fist slamming into the unsuspecting undead monster, sending it flying into an nearby bushel of hay. Touching the ground, the remaining zombies look at Danny puzzled and terrified.

“You won’t turn this man into one of your Cyform pawns!” Danny roars.

Stabbing the zombie standing beside him with a powerful kick, the grotesque creature flies into its fellow cohort. The two of them landing on a tipped over tractor. The remaining zombie to the left of Danny, falls on his bottom, frantic; he starts ripping off material from his face.

“Dude!” The zombie yells. “We’re not D.E.A.T.H.! We work for the house! See, we are paid to scare people.”

Sitting on the floor is a preach fuzz faced teenager, he’s shivering; terror in his eyes.

“Oh my God! Are you ok?!”

The screaming woman runs to the side of the young pimple faced teen. Confirming that he’s ok, she turns her attention towards her once captured friend. The two hug each other tightly, she than glares at Danny. The costumed adult, looks about the area, his “opponents” lying knocked out.

Their face paint, fake teeth and accessories falling off their face, revealing their real faces. Embarrassed, Danny bunches his lips as he avoids the glares of the terrified couple.

“I’m sorry.” He finally utters. “I thought they were D.E.A.T.H.’s goons.”

“We’re in a make believe Haunted House dumb ass!” The woman yells. She takes a deep breath than continues. “But considering those terrorists are extremely active, I get why you would act that way. Just see if those guys are ok.”

Danny nods his head in agreement and runs to check on the men he mistakenly attacked. Checking their vitals reveals that the men are alive, just knocked out. Danny lightly taps their faces to wake them.

“Are we just going to ignore the fact that he just punched and kicked grown men several feet away?!” The “saved” man finally says.

“I have a headache, so yes, ignore it babe.” The woman replies.

A warm body bumps into the girl’s back. Freighted she turns around to see a man in an Superman costume standing before them. A large pumpkin, with a laughing face carved into it hovers eerily in front of the couple. With a sudden twitch the costumed person wobbles away.

“Not so fast!”

Somersaulting through the air, Koko slams into the pumpkin wearing man, the two crashing into the ground. With her nose pressed up against the orange pumpkin, she sniffs every inch of the giant produce.

“That’s it! That’s the fowl D.E.A.T.H. scent I smelled earlier!” She exclaims. “His body feels soft, he’s not a Cyform. So it’s reasonable to assume that a grunt placed this pumpkin on his head. So!”

With an grunt, Koko tears the produce in half, freeing the captured man. The Superman dressed man coughs wildly before catching his whereabouts. Getting off the man, she helps him to his feet, while Danny runs up to her.

“What happened to you? How did you get that pumpkin on your head?” Koko demands.

“I…I don’t remember…” He mumbles. “I…I was looking at…a pumpkin. I thought the carving on it was artistic. Than It… It flew at me! Now…I’m here!”

Beth and Victor appear on the scene. (They couldn’t keep up with Koko’s speed.) However with the information they have, the four decide to search the grounds for suspicious pumpkins! Victor decides to direct the three House goers and the four who Danny beat up to the Haunted House’s staff.

As the three travel the large settlement, Danny and Beth inspect every pumpkin they come across. Nothing is odd about them, nor do they appear sentient. Koko on the other hand locates every person walking around with a pumpkin on their head thanks to her superb sense of smell. She frees everyone one of them. With a simple chop she releases all the victims from their enslavement.

But where is the source? Koko ponders to herself, she can smell the scent of D.E.A.T.H. from the pumpkins but not the source. Unless… Pulling out her touch screen cell phone Koko dials Danny.

“Ya Koko Puff what’s up?” Answers Danny. “Have you found any fowl pumpkins? I just did!”

“Good for you. Now listen!” Her tone is strict. “I have a feeling D.E.A.T.H.’s lackey is operating from outside the house’s grounds. Don’t remove the pumpkin from the victims head. Follow it, and it should lead us to our target!”

With the plan in motion, Danny, and Koko follow the controlled Haunted House goers into the dense, black barley fields. Beth stays behind to inform Victor and those in charge of the House‘s events. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere, the mindless slaves lead our heroes through a clustered forest shrouded in darkness. Koko with narrowed eyes follows without fear, Danny on the other hand pretends to act cool. But inside he’s a little spooked.

“You know, despite being a Cyborg, and fighting monsters on a daily basis I’m still utterly terrified of spooky places.” He murmurs. “I mean we are literally walking into Freddy and Jason territory here.”

“Move!”

Koko pushes Danny away than rolls to her right as an mini explosion ensues.

“I was wondering what was keeping my puppets.” A shrill voice echoes in the black forest. “I thought I was losing my touch, but it turns out traitors were interfering!”

Perched in one of the many trees sits an middle aged woman, her blonde hair obscuring part of her face. Her small frame, seems weak, and breakable as she hops down to the ground below. Pulling on her overalls, the blonde glares at her mind controlled puppets as they stand idle before her. Danny and Koko stand ready to battle.

“Well Koko Cola you were right!” Danny chuckles. “It’s Halloween and I’d like to get back to other humans, so let‘s do this! It‘s creepy out here!”

“Stop calling me by such nicknames!” Roars Koko. “I’ll get you for the Koko Puff comment too!”

I’d better stop. Danny thinks to himself. I don’t need her powering up on Halloween. “Come Psycho Changer!”

The window of Danny’s car lowers as a tiny device shoots out into the night sky. The window than shuts. Holding his right arm skyward, the tiny device attaches to Danny’s wrist.

Danny pulls a tiny lever on the device‘s left side. The wrist device resembles a wolf’s face, the two long points resembling a wolf’ ears swing forward. Revealing a squared opening, Danny pulls out a 9-volt battery, called a Psycho Charger from the opening. Pressing the positive charge down the 9-volt battery lights up and a voice, presumably from the battery yells "Psycho On!"
Putting the battery back in the exposed slot on his brace, Danny again pulls on the lever. The dog ears pop back up and the blank eyes on the braces face shine brightly. "Psycho Power!" Shouts the brace in a over the top manner.
The brace begins chanting “Wave your hands, Psych it away! Wave your hands, Psych it away!”
Tucking his left arm in and clutching his fist, Danny shoots out his right arm diagonally. His right hand's index finger is pointed skyward while his other fingers are folded and his palm exposed. Moving his right arm slowly horizontally, he shoots his left arm above his right. Than swinging his right arm around his left, he poses. His right hand held out in a L shape and his left arm held parallel to him. Both of his fists clutched tightly.

"Full On Change!" Shouts Danny.

Shrouded in a bright blue light Danny emerges from the light draped in his combat suit. This transformation looks easy but it's actually quite complex! In that tenth of a second Danny's body is engulfed in high voltage electricity as it burns through the young man's skin and clothes. The blinding light, a by product of this power surge causes sparks to burst about the area.

Danny's true body, his Cyborg body is a sight to behold. The first layer consists of black spandex like material, all over his physical body. His chest is adorned with dark blue abs like armor, with blue gauntlets and boots. A purple belt with a black squared buckle is wrapped around his waist. Two dark blue gems adorn the buckle. While a single straight, purple line runs down the sides of his black arms and legs. A black helmet covers Danny’s eyes and noses while exposing his mouth. Dark blue, glossy, lenses covers his eyes while a purple arrow sits atop his helmet.

The wide opening of the arrow rests above his lenses and extends to the back of the helmet. Small black dog ears with a purple colored inners sit upon his helmet, and a silky purple scarf tied round his neck dances amongst the wind.
A black and blue modified USP 45 gun sits in a purple colored holster on the right side of Danny's waist.
Whipping his arms to his left, the left arm fully extended, his right parallel to his chest.

With his fingers pointed out, Danny waves his arms down counter clockwise ending in a martial arts stance. Danny's right arm now raised parallel to his face, his left arm stretched out before him at an angle. His tightened left and right fists jerk forward, his hands open as if to claw at something. Koko and Danny proceed to stand back to back. In unison the two exclaim.



"Defying D.E.A.T.H. at every turn!
Walking a lonely and bitter path.
Nothing will stop us from crushing their evil!
Keeping Earth's future safe for children.
Burning hot! Endless fight!"

"They call me the Destroyer."


"I'm the Hero of Telekinesis!"

"And together we are "Team Psycho!!"

Danny poses once again with is palm exposed and his fingers curled as if clawing something. While Koko places her left arm on her hip, her right arm lying by her side. The ocean blue haired girl looks to her left uninterested. A cool breeze blows past the two, the silence becomes awkward.

“It’s not like the Stagehands to miss their cue.” Danny comments as he holds his pose. “It’s not the same without the explosion behind us.”

“That’s because I gave the Stagehand’s the day off for Halloween.” Koko answers. “No pyrotechnics tonight Danny-O.”

“Well I guess they deserve it. They do work hard.” Danny concedes. “In that case, I’m leaving the victims in your hands Koko! I got this one!”

Standing in an fighting stance, Danny rushes for the mysterious D.E.A.T.H. agent. Reeling his left arm back Danny unleashes a powerful punch. The blonde counters him by grabbing his arm and tossing him with an judo throw. As Danny crashes into the ground, the D.E.A.T.H. agent runs off into the black forest.

“You’d better catch her!” Koko yells out.

“I know that!” He retorts.

Danny chases after the agent while Koko proceeds to release the pumpkin controlled hostages. Catching up to the overalls wearing villain, she turns slightly to chuck softball sized pumpkins at Danny. The pumpkins explode upon hitting the ground. Danny makes it his priority to dodge them. His visor glows dark purple as he extends his arms toward the fleeing agent.

“Psycho Touch!”

The pumpkin ordinances are covered in a purple glow as they halt in mid air. With a mighty grunt, Danny propels the bombs back at the tiny agent. With a mighty explosion, the blonde is sent hurdling into the Haunted House’s “Haunted Grounds”. The house goers and the employees scream in terror as the blonde villain crashes into an barrel of hay.

Some of the onlookers, flee while others foolishly look on in awe. Leaping through the air Danny lands on the ground, and readies himself. Exploding forth from the hay, the tiny blonde howls at Danny.

“Telekinesis huh? Well isn’t that convenient!”

The agent roars as her body morphs before Danny and the onlookers. Her once 4:9 stature now grows to 5:8, roughly the same height as Danny. Her pale upper body is covered with a pumpkin themed corset, while her chest and neck are covered by a leafy green clown collar. Her pale arms are covered in green vines, adorned with orange armor. This armor covers her shoulders, and knuckles as well.

Her lower body is composed of a leaf green skirt, its slit on her left side.

Her pale legs covered in orange colored stockings and her heels are green. The side of face is entirely covered by her long green hair. Her right side exposing a fanged grin and emerald glowing eyes.

“The name is PumpQueen and I’m going to make you my personal slave traitor!” She declares.

Revealing two of the exploding pumpkins, PumpQueen hurls them at the gawking spectators. The few onlookers freeze, unsure how to react to the incoming pumpkins. With a snarl, Danny stops the two pumpkins with his telekinesis. Throwing his arms in the direction of PumpQueen, the young hero plans to hit her with her own attack.

However caught off guard Danny is bombarded with Pumpkin bombs. His Cyborg body bursts into sparks as he crashes into the ground. The bombs halted by Danny’s telekinesis fall to the ground exploding, hurting the gawking onlookers.

The awe lookers caught in the explosion fall to ground in terrible pain. The three adults and young child wince in anguish as their blood slowly covers the dirty ground. Struggling to his feet Danny looks in horror at the injured Halloween goers.

“Blame yourself traitor!” PumpQueen gloats . “Had you’d kept your nose out of my affairs they wouldn’t be in utter pain right now! They would be asleep as scientists remodel their bodies! A strange pay off actually.”

Forming a large pumpkin, PumpQueen begins swinging it by the iron chain attached to it.

“Happy Halloween and see you in Hell!” Roars PumpQueen as she flings the large pumpkin at Danny.

“The one going to Hell is you!” Retorts Danny as he swiftly side steps the chain and pumpkin.

Pulling his gun from his holster Danny fires upon PumpQueen, her body erupts in sparks as she frails backward. Her chain and pumpkin crashes to the ground as his visor glows a deep purple. Slamming his side arm into its holster, the blonde hero slaps his right hand into the ground propelling himself into the sky using his telekinesis.

“Psycho Kick!” He yells.

Extending his pressed together feet forward, PumpQueen is blinded by the flashing purple light emanating from them. Danny’s heel and foot slam into the D.E.A.T.H. agent, causing her to erupt in sparks and fly into a patch of pumpkins. Landing on the ground, Danny reaches behind him revealing two thin blades that resemble a long Ninjato sword and a short one.

The blade’s hilt resembles an wolf’s head, with the actual blades protruding from their mouths.

Pressing a square button on the back of the larger blade‘s hilt , a insert slot, reveals itself. Pressing down on the right side of his belt buckle, the buckle pops open revealing two Psycho Chargers. Grabbing the left one, Danny inserts the Charger into the slot. Danny slaps the opening shut resulting in the sword glowing purple.

“Feel the power! Cut ’em up!” The larger blade declares.

Pressing the bottom of both swords hilts together, the shorter blade sparks as it too glows purple. With both swords cracking with electricity, Danny darts for the weakened PumpQueen. Rising from the pumpkin patch, the female agent watches in horror as the twenty year old quickly closes the gap between them. Slashing her diagonally with the larger blade, Danny quickly follows up with an horizontal slash from the smaller left blade.

Pulling both arms behind him, Danny violently thrusts the blades into PumpQueen’s abdomen.

“Damn you!” PumpQueen wheezes.

Gasping, as blood falls from PumpQueen’s mouth, Danny than yanks the blades from her stomach as she fumbles backwards. Sparks spill forth from her like sprinklers as the villain groans in agony. Turning his back to her, Danny strikes a pose as PumpQueen falls backwards, exploding upon hitting the ground. Letting out a sigh of relief, Danny relaxes himself.

“Your getting so much better at killing D.E.A.T.H.’s agents.”

Turning around, Danny sees Koko, standing amongst the four hurt Halloween goers. The two she saved earlier check on the downed victims. Black energy begins to spew forth from the area where PumpQueen exploded, the energy grows large and thick before shooting into the Halloween sky.

“Ah Hell…“ Whispers Danny.

The black energy materializes into a colossal orange and green vampire bat. The massive beast stands six hundred and sixty six meters tall, with an one thousand two hundred meter wing span! The giant bat hisses monstrously shaking the Earth to its core. The Haunted House goers shrill in horror as the creature soars higher into the night sky.

“Woohoo!” Squeals Koko as she dances about the area. “This is my time to shine! And you can’t stop me this time Danny boy!”

“I should’ve known better. It’s Halloween, so evil, darkness, and monsters. It all goes together!” Danny sighs. “Just don’t destroy to much, please Koko.”

“I promise nothing!” Koko giggles excitedly.

Using his telekinesis to lift the four downed victims, Danny advices the other two to run very quickly to their vehicles. Koko watches quietly as they run from the area. Turning away, Koko’s once purple eyes are now blood red, her pupils reptilian in shape and fangs appear from her mouth. Smoke emanates her body as the blue haired beauty laughs maniacally as the area shakes violently.

The ground cracks open, and lightning crackles in the sky. The Haunted House goers flee the grounds in utter terror as the grounds, no the Earth itself quakes violently. Running into Beth and Victor, Danny bids farewell to the two rescued hostages and tosses Beth his car keys.

“There is an white towel in the trunk.” Danny yells, while trying to maintain his balance during the earthquake. “Place the towel in your car’s backseat, that way their blonde won’t get on your seats!”

“What?!” Beth screeches. “Why does it got to be my car?”

“This isn’t the time for that! Koko is transforming, move please!” Danny roars.

The Earth continues to shake as, mountains collapse, the sea level rises, towns are flooded and various people around the world scream and run in terror. Out in space, the colossal PumpQueen, now “PumpBat” blocks out the sun with her gigantic body and flapping wings.

“I had no idea I was given the “Colossal Enhancement!” PumpBat howls loudly. “I’ll place a controlling pumpkin on the entire planet and the whole world will be ruled by Master Death! The Great Master will praise my actions and I’ll be in the Master’s good graces!”

Earth’s clouds visible from space whirl as a stream of red energy shoots forth blasting the gigantic bat back. A humongous crack zips down from the North Pole toward the South Pole, the crack silts open as a gigantic fur covered claw appears from within. Literally pushing aside an continent, and the Pacific Ocean, the Earth cracks as land masses break apart and float away. Another claw grabs the remaining side of Earth and pushes it aside, sending more land masses into the sky.

PumpBat watches slack jawed at the sight before her. Burning red eyes glare ominously at the giant bat, protruding forth from the Earth, a gigantic beast roars into space. The purple muscular dragon dog hybrid lies within the planet, treating it as if it were a throne. Black armor covers the monster’s chest and shoulders, the shoulder pads extending outward. Its blue fur draped below its armor, its massive arms stretch outward covering both sides of the planet.

Saliva drops from the massive beast’s purple maw, its colossal red eyes burn with fire as its reptilian like pupils widen in anger. Long crystal blue hair runs down the demon’s head, neck, and body. The azure locks dance about, revealing snapping dog heads as the hair’s tips. The beast roars into the silence of space shaking the very core of Earth’s Solar System.

“What are you?!” PumpBat’s eyes widen in shock. “The blue haired girl…I had heard rumors…She…You…You’re the legendary Goddess of Destruction!”

Koko shrieks as her snake like hair shoots out attempting to attack the colossal bat monster. The three hundred meter large heads snap at the giant bat as it soars through space trying to avoid being bitten. With an mighty flap of its wings, PumpBat unleashes a horde of sentient pumpkin bombs that kamikaze into the massive strands of living hair. Exploding upon contact, the dog heads get wise, choosing to blast the attacking pumpkins with energy from their mouths.

Down on Earth chaos ensues as whole continents dislodge and float out into space. Erupting volcanoes, massive tsunami’s, twisters and tornados ravage the planet. As the Earth crumbles, Danny drives his Mazda Eunos Roadster (NA Special Package) ‘89 past collapsing ground while Beth struggles to keep up in her car. Victor in the passenger seat keeps a eye on the four huddled people in the backseat.

Back in space the dogs heads continue to battle the pumpkin bombardment, while PumpBat zips through space. With an horrifying shriek, PumpBat cloaks herself in her wings than shoots them outward launching a gigantic moon sized pumpkin at Koko. The pumpkin latches onto Koko’s head, halting her movements, the blue haired demon lies hunched over the planet. PumpBat howls in laugher as she soars around Koko and the planet.

“I’ve brought the Goddess of Destruction under my control!” PumpBat delights in her victory. “With the legendary Destroyer in my control I can rule everything in existence! I won’t need D.E.A.T.H. or anyone!”

“Well aren’t you a petty one?” Koko’s voice echoes through the silence of space.

“That voice!” PumpBat cries. “You…You can talk in that form?”

“Well duh!” Retorts Koko. “I’m not a mindless destroyer you know. I choose what I want to destroy! Like…You for example.”

Grabbing a hold of the massive pumpkin, Koko rips the giant mind controlling produce asunder! Shocked, PumpBat floats paralyzed, not realizing that the dog heads begin creeping up on her. The living hair slams its teeth laced mouth upon the female bat's wings; holding her in suspension. Blood and sparks burst forth from her gigantic wings as she shirks in utter pain.

Bringing the wounded bat closer towards her, Koko speaks again with her power of telepathy.

"It's adorable how you believed you had control over me, a goddess." Mocks Koko. "But you could never control me. Your blasphemy will cost you your life! And let's be honest, your sudden betrayal of D.E.A.T.H would've cost you your life. I'm doing you a favor!"

Koko's massive maw begins to glow a eerie blue as dense smoke seeps through her colossal fangs. The massive amounts of lava that the gigantic Koko is within begins to stir. The glow from her mouth grows bigger as the sound of one million tsunami's drowns out the dead silence of space.

"Consider it a honor to be destroyed by my hands!"



With a mighty roar Koko unleashes an exponentially gigantic energy beam from her mouth that zooms towards PumpBat!

"Nooooooo!"

The screams of PumpBat echo far into space as Koko's sentient hair releases the bat from their toothy grip. Struck by the energy beam, the bat’s piercing cry fades to nothingness as she disappears into a shadowy silhouette, than into nothing. The blackness of space shines brightly as the explosion from the bat grows and grows. Roaring in triumphant, the maniacal laugher of the demon goddess echoes throughout space as she slowly sinks back into the Earth.

Letting out a dense cloud of smoke from her maw, the mist takes the shape of an beautiful giant bird. The majestic bird similar to a phoenix in appearance, hovers over the whole of the Earth, a light fog falls from the creation‘s wings. The fog covers the Earth causing the floating land masses to descend slowly back into place. As Koko disappears back into the core of the Earth, the phantom bird dissolves into an light mist as the planet rebuilds itself.
Now reformed, the tsunamis, Volcanic eruptions, and other national disasters cease, but the death toll remains. Driving into the damaged parking lot of Ave Grand’s Halloween House, Danny still transformed exits his car. Closing the door, Danny deactivates his transformation by pressing a red button on the brace. Tucking the brace and the removed Psycho Charger into his car, Danny back in his costume stands waiting. Removing the costume’s helmet the blonde man whips back his moist hair, smiling at the approaching figure.
Out from the mist of the trashed Halloween grounds appears Koko, a goofy smirk on her face.

"Hi Master!" She cries excitedly as the blue beauty jumps into the arms of Danny.

"Hey Koko pebbles!" Grunts Danny as he falls to his back, Koko lying on top of him.

"No! Just Koko!" She clarifies. "I got that pumpkin themed bimbo something good!"

"Ya…Yeah you did." Danny smiles. "Come on lets go home and eat those Dragon Ball chocolates we bought."

“Ok!’ Chimes Koko. “But you got sweat on your face Master. Time to wipe it off!

Koko pulls out a napkin and begins drying up Danny’s moist face.

___

At the secret lair of D.E.A.T.H. Minster Winecooler is learning of PumpQueen’s defeat.

“This is why I told you to send Hank and Bobby to accompany PumpQueen!” Winecooler roars at Lady Hotflash.

“It wouldn’t have made a difference!” Hotflash roars back. “Be glad the boys weren’t hurt. We haven’t had any incoming reports of Cyforms losing their lives. One life lost isn’t a issue. Here, have a candy!”

Handing Winecooler a candy bar, the stick thin man unwraps the bar and munches on the candy. A stagehand enters the throne room, a clipboard in hand. Handing the clip board to Lady Hotflash, the clocked in black helper scurries away. Reading the clipboard, Hotflash gasps as she tosses a handful of various candy into Winecooler’s lap.

“Don’t tell me…”

Lady Hotflash shoves a candy bar into Winecooler’s mouth, cutting him off mid speech.

“Fine I won’t tell you!” She chuckles nervously. “Here! Try this Dairy Road candy bar!”

The third in command of D.E.A.T.H. laughs away the report’s troubling info as Danny and Koko make their way home through a rumble infested street. Slumped in the passengers seat, Koko stares out into the blackness.

So are those people we helped, ok?” She asks.


"Beth and Victor made it to the hospital with the injured victims." Danny pauses. "But the joint is running on backup power due to… well…You… So they are keeping them stable as best they can."

"So their fine? Good!” Koko chimes. “What about Beth and Victor?"

"Beth said she was going to stay at the hospital with Victor until the Earth returns to normal." He replies. "I‘m assuming they are heading home right now."

Unconcerned with the havoc she's caused, Koko turns her head in Danny‘s direction.

"I'm tired, and since everything is ok. You don't mind if I take a nap do ya Master?"

"No of course not." The Cyborg replies. Man it's crazy how different Koko acts when she's low on power. I wish she was always like this. Danny thinks to himself.

Maneuvering the best he can through the dislodged and damaged road, Danny turns on the radio. A pop tune plays on the radio filling the dead silence. Danny lowers the volume.

"Hey Master." Koko whispers.

"Ya?" He replies.

"What's a Dragon Ball?" She asks.



Danny sighs deeply as he drives off into the darkness. The full moon's sliver rays guiding the way home.

The End.

Chapter 2:



“Two hot dogs please!” Danny says happily.

“Lots of ketchup on mine please!” Koko chimes in.

“Wow aren’t you brave?” Danny says while leering at the blatant “do not ask for ketchup” sign.

“Ketchup! Ketchup! Ketchup!” She cheers while thrusting her hands up and down excitedly.

A…Sir.” The clerk utters softly. A look of horror is painted over her face.

“Oh God I knew it! We are making the “Banned List!”

Danny pans over to a wall covered with photos. Presumably these people were banned from the restaurant.

“We’re gonna join the ranks of “Deeply Touched,” “Play with my dog” and “Tickle my pickle!” The poor man bows his head as despair envelopes his very soul!”

“Somehow I feel they were banned for something other than asking for
Ketchup…” Koko scans the names found on the photos.

Lick my thigh,” “Deep in the hole,” “Kitty McCake!” That last name, it bugs me more than the others! Koko glares at the picture of the blonde girl in the photo.

“Sir! This is not about the ketchup! Your bleeding from your head!” The clerk frantically points at Danny’s head, she’s practically falling over the counter in order to point this fact out!

“Is that all? So I’m not being put on the “Banned List?!” His eyes sparkle, Danny has been given new life thanks to the clerk’s words.

“He’ll be fine.” Retorts Koko. “Now about that ketchup!”

Project Mistress: A Hero's Tale Chapter 1

Chapter 1:
Just a Usual Day:
Fiery Twins and The Goddess of Destruction

 
“Run Koko, run!!!”

Exploding cars, people screaming in panic within the streets, fire, blood, death! Just a typical day in the lives of Koko and Danny. The two raced down the neighborhood street, avoiding the hurtling balls of fire!

“Master should I transform?!” Koko asked in a strangely relaxed manner.

“Oh God no! I can’t have you cracking the Earth in half again!” Yelled Danny. Sweat dripped down from Danny’s exposed mouth.

“But…”

The girl’s response cut short by the sudden eruption of a man hole cover! Intense flames burst forth from the sewer, stopping the two in their tracks. Leaping from the flames, a child soars through the air, only to slam head first into the concrete! Danny and Koko look on puzzled.

“Tch, Damn it! I can’t believe I screwed up my big entrance!” The child curses as he clutches his forehead. “You saw nothing! Ya hear!” The red haired boy quickly rises to his feet. Trying to act cool about the situation.

“Ya can’t escape now!” He boasts. “Big Bro I caught em! I caught em!”

“Good job Short Stuff!” Replies a distant voice

Dismayed, Danny and Koko turn back to see a older boy speeding for the three on a bike!

“He wasn’t riding a bike before, was he Master?” Koko looks over at Danny.

Bewildered, Danny replies. “Eh, no sweetheart. Chances are he grabbed it on the way.”

“Hahaha! This time ya two are coming back to D.E.A.T.H.!” The red hair boy laughs.

Danny looks back at the little boy than again at the approaching cyclist, concern written all over his face.

I gotta figure out a way out of this situation! Thinks Danny.

“Your sweating Master, remove your mask…”

Koko unconcerned with the situation tries to pull back the mask from Danny’s face.

“Koko… sweetie not now!” Brushing her away, Danny notices the falling man hole cover. “That’s it! Koko you genius you!”

“But Master I haven’t wiped away the sweat from your face yet!…” She again tries to remove his mask.

While Koko wrestles with Danny, the red haired child looks on awed struck.

Wow, she’s pretty! Her butt looks so big! Maybe when we take them back, I can get to know her! The tiny child blushes as he daydreams.
(“Bobby why are you day dreaming?! Subdue them!” Yells Older Boy in the background)

Brushing Koko away again, Danny forms a X with his hands, and yells “PSYCHOTOUCH!!!


The glossy purple lens on his mask light up, than spreading his arms straight out, he cups them. Placing them behind his back, he trusts his hands out in the direction of the falling man hole cover! The burning man hole cover stops falling and hovers midair!

“Ah oh! Hank hurry….!”



BAM!!!



The man hole cover slams into Bobby’s head knocking him out!

“Bobby!!” Cries the approaching cyclist. “You bastards! I’ll roast you two!!

Flicking his orange hair bang aside, Hank trusts his right hand outward and balls of fire blast forth from his middle finger! In response, Danny whips his hands in the direction of Hank. The man hole cover zooms off! Rotating his arms, the circular cover turns upward, becoming a shield against the raging fire balls!

The fire balls ram against the man hole cover, pushing it back with each hit. Meanwhile Koko inspects the downed Bobby.

“Wow! One hit and he was knocked out! I guess he was given basic enhancements.” Koko laments.

“Koko sweetie, his fire attacks are getting hotter, his temperature is rising! If this continues, it will be like fighting the sun! Get out of here!” Groans Danny.

“That‘s exactly why I should transform Master!!” The pretty blue haired girl demands whines. Her right hand seeks into her shirt sleeve and out appears a dragon head! “My Destroyer powers can handle his flames!” Koko smiles deviously at the reptilian head, which salivates at the mouth.

“Damn it Koko just run!” Yells Danny.

“No Master. I will stay at your side!” The dragon head slips back into the oversized shirt sleeve and her hand remerges! “If something were to happen to you, I’d be deviated.“ She says while placing her soft hand on Danny’s shoulder. Blushing, Danny turns his head to see Koko’s soft sky blue eyes gazing at him. Her smile warms his heart. He can’t be mad at her. That is sweet of…
BAM!!



The overheated man hole cover slams into Danny sending him crashing into the concrete! Koko stands perplexed at what just happened.

“Master!!!” Screams Koko
Infuriated, Koko turns around to face the cyclist. BAM! The older boy goes soaring across the sky, crashing into the street below. The bike he was riding falls before Koko. Unaffected in the slightest she proceeds to wipe away the dirt on her brow.


“Stupid bike!” She curses under breath. Without a second thought, she runs toward the downed Danny.

“Are you ok Master?” The concern in her soft voice is evident as she holds him in her arms.

“Ya…” He groans. “This power suit is great for keeping me safe…ish.”

Helped to his feet by Koko, Danny flicks his purple scarf behind him. Koko smiles knowing he’s ok, the two watch as Hank stands on his feet. He’s wobbling, and blood is falling from his head.

“What the hell!?” Hank roars as he slicks his black hair back. “I rammed the bike into your face, full speed and with a kick ass leap! And I went flying!? Tch! You really are a soldier modified with superhuman strength!” He growls while brushing the single orange bang from his face.

“I…don’t want to go to…school…mommy…” The little boy mumbles.

“Bobby!” Running for his brother, Hank lightly slaps the boy’s cheek. “Bobby, wake up. Wake up!” Bobby’s blood is dripping on his brother’s hand. The child’s head is cracked.

Opening his eyes, the child smiles upon seeing his brother. “Did we win Big Bro?”

“No Short Stuff, we are still in the middle of capturing those two.” Hank says while smiling at his younger brother.

Jumping to his feet Bobby looks at his brother. With determination in his eyes, the little boy clutches his fist.

“Let’s get them Big Brother!” He grins happily.

Hank nods in agreement, happy to see his little brother determined, despite the blood falling from his head. The two fire manipulators ready themselves for battle! Their eyes sparkle, the two are in sync!

“By order of Master Death!”

“Relayed to us by Lady Hotflash and Minster Winecooler!”

“We the Flaming Brothers will bring the traitors back!”

“Give up now or we’ll burn you to death!”

The two strike a pose as flames erupt behind them and black confetti rains down on them! Quite the spectacle!

“Thanks stage hands!” Cheers the Clapping Bobby as he watches four figures covered in black from head to toe, scurry about collecting the confetti.

“Man how do they see through that black vale? Also using the flamethrower was a nice touch for those fire effects!” Compliments Hank. “Now Bobby let’s haul their roasted asses back to Master Death!”

“Prepare yourself traitors, cuz’ here comes the pain!…”

The siblings body temperatures rise high as they strike yet another pose, they point their index fingers at their prey! It’s a glorious moment! If only someone was there to witness it!

“What the hell?!?!”

“You bastards!”

The two brothers roar at the escaping duo! While the two were posing and declaring their glory, Danny and Koko made a run for it!

“Thank God the bike didn’t get ruined from collision with your head koko! Now we just gotta figure out a way to lower their body temperatures!”
(“Get back here! I stole that bike fair and square!” Yells Hank. “And return to D.E.A.T.H.!” Screeches Bobby)


Koko, who is effortlessly running alongside the speeding Danny, turns to see the pursuing brothers. “They are following us Master. Plus I’m sure the anger those two are feeling is causing their temperatures to increase. If that happens I will have no choice but to transform, whether you like it or not!”

“Kinda forward there don’t ya think?” Danny turns away from Koko, panic is written all over his face. Crap! She is serious! If she changes than the Human Touch brothers are through! But in turn she’ll rip the Earth apart again!

While cycling Danny notices a Fire Hydrant.

Bingo! He thinks to himself. Slowing down, Danny comes to a complete stop.

“Have you figured out a way to beat them Master?” Koko asks, wonder adores her eyes.

“You betcha!” He points at the nearby Fire Hydrant. “And there is our secret weapon!”

“Oh...” Koko sighs

“That’s it? You could sound more enthusiastic about this you know!” Danny crosses his arms in a huff.

“Well it makes sense. They are fire users and Fire Hydrants have…you know, water!” Koko brushes her beautiful hair from her face. “Plus this is the second one we’ve passed up.”

“Eh!?” What do you mean “second one?!” Danny asks dismayed.

Koko points to the other Hydrant. “Right there, next to the sewer that Bobby popped out from.”

Scanning the area Koko is pointing at, Danny almost falls over in shock! The other Hydrant was merely a few feet from their previous location!

“Why didn’t you say something earlier?” Distraught, Danny shakes Koko by the shoulders.

“You didn’t ask Master.” Koko’s response leaves him silent.


(“We’re so catching up on you!” Roars Hank “Ya two are so screwed!” Bellows Bobby)
“You stayed quiet in hopes that I would let you transform. Didn’t you?” Danny retorts.

“Don’t just assume Master! How could such a delicate flower such as myself use such underhanded tactics? Besides, those two are nearly upon us!”
(“Oh your so full of it!” Snaps Danny. “Shut up!” Retorts Koko)


Which is true! The two gaze back at the approaching fire users. Hank grabs a hold of Bobby, and with a forceful twirl, hurls him at our heroes!

“Fly Bobby! Fly!”

With a massive wave of fire exploding from Hank’s birds, (that is, his middle fingers) little Bobby is engulfed in flames! Transforming into a rocketing fire ball, the little boy proceeds to fire smaller and faster fire balls from his engulfed hands!

“Master, prepare the Hydrant, I will handle this!”

Koko slams her fists into the street causing it to burst and rip apart! Pieces of concrete rise into the air due to the sheer force of the hit. (Not to mention the bike) With a thunderous round house kick, the elevated concrete shoots towards the smaller fire balls!
(“She’s SOOO cool! Plus I saw her panties during the kick,,, They were purple. I wonder if she wore those intentionally…? Crap!! I should get to the Hydrant!”) - Danny
The kicked concrete slams head on into the fire balls! With each powerful kick, more concrete rams into more oncoming fire balls.

“Not bad kid! Let’s see if you can excite me some more!” Koko yells as she licks her lips. She again slams her fists into the ground, this time even more debris soars into the air. “Try and stop these!”

Kicking the concrete even faster now, the little Bobby fails to hit every piece with his blasts. The missed debris collides with him, slowing his ridicules speed!
(“Bobby! Laments Hank. Meanwhile, Danny struggles to open the Hydrant’s valve. He proceeds to use telekinesis to open it)


Weakened from the strategic blows to his body, Bobby slams into the destroyed concrete! A mild explosion ensues.
“Koko!!!!… Ack!!!!” The explosion blows Danny back into a nearby car.


The Hydrant’s powerful water flow rains over the impact, quelling the flames. Running into the flooding crater, Hank combs the area in a frenzied panic.

“Bobby! Oh God! Bobby where are you?! Please don’t die!”


Bursting forth from the street below, Koko twirls gracefully before landing softly on the ground.

“I think I was to hard on the little tike.” Koko utters as she wipes the dirt from her outfit. Looking for Danny, Koko spots him lying against a damaged car. He’s unconscious. Please hold on Master, I shall end this right now.

“Bobby…!…” Roaring flames envelop Hank, steam whirls about him. “You bitch! I’ll burn you to…”

“Ah ah!” Koko chimes in. “He’s alive. See for yourself!”

With a snap of her fingers the newly formed puddle upon the damaged ground, bubbles. With a mighty rumble a serpent like creature rises from within the water! The serpent is actually a dragon, with only its long neck and head visible. Bobby dangles from the beast’s mouth, its maw chomping down on the boy’s red hoodie.

Blood drips from the boy’s hands and knees. These are the areas he was struck at with the concrete. The blue scales of the beast shine brightly, its red and orange hair flows wildly, as if they were flames. Hissing lowly, the dragon leers at Hank.



“Did you just seek into the ground? Is that how you escaped being hit? Just What the hell are you!? What the hell is that?!” The young boy steps back, sweat rains down his face. His right fist bursts into flames, he aims said hand at Koko. “Have your monster drop him, now! I’ll melt you to the bone! I…I swear!”

The beast tosses the child onto the floor, Bobby’s body looks like a corpse lying there motionless.

“I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t call me a beast.” Koko’s normally light and happy voice now sounds low and menacing. “After all, this “monster” as you call it is me. And I it!”



The young adult brushes her hair out of her face. And begins walking toward Hank. The water from the Hydrant continues to rain upon the area.

“Keep away!” Hank fires off a blast.

Koko grins evilly. Suddenly the dragon head zooms toward the approaching fire ball and consumes it! Than hastily sinks into the ground.

“Wha…What the hell!?” Panics Hank.

“What’s the matter? Afraid?” Koko hisses delightfully. In the blink of a eye, Koko sinks into the rubble and instantly emerges behind Hank.

“Wha…?!” He’s cut off.

“Think. Surely D.E.A.T.H. has had rumors about a woman who can control strange creatures.” Koko inches closer to Hank’s ear and whispers. “Project Mistress. Ring any bells?”

Hank’s eyes widen as he sprints away from Koko.

“P…P…Project…M…Mistress!?” Sweat rains down his face even more so than before. Hank turns slowly, his heart pounding in his chest. Koko peers into Hanks eyes…No! His very soul!

“Project Mistress, as in the Project Mistress?! The Goddess of Destruction, said to be able to destroy galaxies?! That Project Mistress?!” Hank falls to his knees. No, no, no, no!! It can’t be, your…your supposed to be a Myth! A Legend!!!”

Soaked, Hank lets out a sneeze; his temperature is lowering fast. Koko, while drenched also, shows no sign of chill, but continues to leer at Hank. Police sirens blare in the background.

“Take Bobby and never show your face again.” She hisses.

Without thinking, Hank dashes for his baby brother, lifting him into his arms.


Bobby is still breathing! Mother is going to kill me! But…But I gotta know!
“Are…Are you really the Goddess of Destruction? They told me you were just a delusional modified Solider! I mean… You couldn’t possibly be…”

Hank sneezes again; In that instant Koko now stands before him!

“Guh!”

Koko places her soft finger on Hank’s mouth. Silencing him.

“Leave now. I won’t tell you twice.” Blinking, Koko’s once purple eyes are now blood red and her pupils reptilian in shape.

Utterly terrified Hank darts off and makes his way for a nearby alley. Looking back, the frightened boy can see Koko smiling warmly and waving at him. Now totally confused, Hank decides its better to look away and run faster.

“Well you scared the bejesus out of him Koko!”

Shuddering in fright, Koko, looks over her shoulder. And to her shock, there stands Danny!

“Master!” Delighted, the young beauty leaps onto Danny, hugging him tightly.

The costumed adult struggles a bit before adjusting himself to the extra weight.

“Hey sweet heart.” Smiles Danny as the police sirens near them. “I hate to ask this but, could you get us out of here?”

Hopping off of Danny, Koko lifts him effortlessly into her arms and begins stretching her legs.

“Ready Master? Close your eyes cuz here we go!”

Leaping high into the air, Koko lands onto the top of a nearby building. Darting off and leaping again, Koko soars through the sky as she hops from one building to another. Now some distance away, Koko places Danny on his feet. The young adult is panting, he takes a deep breath and composes himself.

“I’ll never get used to traveling that fast or that high. Even with my eyes closed it was rough!”

“I was moving as slow as I could. Any slower and I wouldn‘t have been able to make the leap.” She says. She reaches out to rub Danny’s back softly for comfort. “But when did you regain consciousness Master?’

Pressing a button on a device attached to his wrist, Danny’s whole body is colored in a bright light, suddenly he is no longer in a costume, but rather street clothes! Running his fingers through his blonde curly hair, he sighs.

“Well, all I remember was Bobby rocketing into the ground, than a explosion!” Pausing, Danny tries to gesture a explosion, than continues. “The next thing I knew, I was on the floor and you were tossing Bobby onto the ground. I’ve been watching since than.” He notices that she is drenched. “You poor thing, your all soaked! Here! Take my jacket!”

“You didn’t notice when you were in my arms…?” Sighs Koko

Throwing off his denim jacket Danny wraps it around Koko’s tiny frame.

“Here let me brush your hair out of your face.” He says

Koko blushes.

“You got a way of scaring the crap out of D.E.A.T.H.’s thugs Koko! I like that about you!” Danny says as he combs her hair with his fingers. “Now, let’s see where were at; kay!”

Walking over to the edge of the building, Danny ducks as he peaks below. People are standing about the area, eating hot dogs. They all seem to be waiting for the bus to arrive, evident by the bus sign.

“Oh! Were on top of Mr. quackys!” He smiles gleefully as he turns to look back at Koko. “ Phew! It’s hot! We should grab some hot dogs!…”

“Master, your sweating!” Koko says while leaping into the air, napkin in hand. “I’ll wipe it off!”

“Ack! Koko…Take it easy…with…the nap…!” Urges Danny.

Danny’s attempts to brush Koko off fail, she inches in closer. Danny steps back in a attempt to breathe, instead the two tumble right off the roof!

“Koko…I… I can’t feel anything… Expect this…h… heavy load on my chest…” He groans.

“That’s me Master…. You’ll be fine…” She says, with a dazed look on her face.

“Why Koko?” He questions.

“I just really hate sweat… Master. “ She replies.

Our heroes lie bruised and bewildered in the sidewalk as the business’s patrons gawk and capture the scene on their phones.
(“Dude, that chick is wet..” Whispers a man to his buddy. “Dude she’s hot!” His buddy replies

(“What do you think they were doing up there? Asks a woman. Some kinky sex no doubt!” Says another)


“Koko…” Groans Danny. “We left the car back at the sight didn’t we?”

“Yeah.” She replies. Still dazed.

Danny sighs before expressing his dissatisfaction.

“Ah hell!!!!”

END
