“Uhm…its-”
“What?”
“It's not Alexander’s size.”
“Is it for dad?”
“You kidding me? The great big muscle man ain’t fittin in this. Just put it on, it'll do the rest.” Alex grabbed the suit and nodded.
“Changing room?”
“Right right.” Ratchet would point down the hall.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCtzCzlA5e
“First door to the right.” Alexander picked up the small crate and hurried down to the changing room.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23zaRVjLwy
“Now for you.”
“Huh?” Vivian watched Ratchet duck down and pull out a cloak with a hood attached.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJaqjQ4oR1
“Here.”
“What is it?”
“Considering that y’all aren’t going home I’m plannin to keep y’all alive. It’s a cloak of teleportation, it works off ya noggin and you can use it to cover up so we don’t have to worry about people getting your face.”
“I don’t follow…”
“If you have a good picture of where you wanna teleport it’ll send ya there. Basically use ya head.”
“Ooooh nice nice.”
“MMMMMM!!!” The rat girl came tumbling into the shop falling and rolling having closed the door with her tail, she squirmed and kept screaming through her gag her tail swished and swayed towards the door. Then everyone heard the sound of mechanical stomping. Ratchet looked at the door and began to reach under her desk. Logan stood there balling his fists up and standing in front of Vivian, Vivan’s eyes began to glow a bit as she raised her hands up taking a deep breath. Ashley looked at the door summoning her pistols while Meatless held his sledge hammer waiting. The door began to open showing the black suited feet of someone and then the rest of the all black body ending at the burning red eyes.
“Oh. It's you.” Ratchet rolled her eyes, dropping her minigun looking towards the man.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl3EAxvfUR
“Can’t help but look intimidating all the time?”
“You know him?” Logan asked.
“Sting Ray!!” Ashley squealed with Meatless as the pair jumped onto the man hugging him like children. Everyone heard a groan as his size shrunk down and he tossed them off walking in he then locked eyes with Vivan his red eyes burning brighter.
“Yo. What’re ya doin?” Ratchet called out but Logan didn’t waste a second and punched Sting Ray in the face causing him to turn towards Logan. Both men locked eyes staring at each other. Vince seemed scared and tried to pull Vivian away but she didn’t budge.
SHINK!
Light reflected off of Sting Ray’s wrist and in an instant he swung at Logan who jumped back dodging the blade. Sting Ray swung again and Logan evaded once more however he didn’t dodge fully unscathed getting a nice cut on the chest.
“Sting Ray what’re ya doin man?!” Ashley grabbed him and he slapped her back sending her flying into Meatless. His eyes began oozing red particles and a loud whirring sound began to emit. Why wasn’t Vivian doing anything? She was but nothing was working!
ZHWOOWOOWOOM BZZZZ!
Vivian blocked herself in fear waiting for the pain but all that was heard was Ratchet screaming. She opened her eyes and saw Sting Ray was shooting at the ceiling before he was punched out of the shop by Logan.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CVaoCpWQC
“Explanation please?!” Alex asked.
“Bad guy!” Vivian shouted.
“Done!” Alex ran after Sting Ray beside his dad. Ashley groaned getting up and giving chase with Meatless, Vivian couldn’t sit by, this was about her so she began to move but got blocked by Mina.
“Hey! Move!”
“I apologize but I cannot. He is a magic nullifier and you will do nothing but get in the way. Being in his range is not good for you.” Mina gave Vivian a salute.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iHpeGLa4A
“I will help Alexander and Logan.” Mina flew outside to see Alexander was on Sting Ray’s back holding his head up so his lasers kept blasting in the sky. He grabbed Alexander and went to stab him but in seconds he was gone and Logan was in his place punching Sting Ray back.
BZZZ!!
Logan raised his arms, grit his teeth, and closed his eyes preparing for the immense pain incoming. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFpLxnxkrj
“I don’t believe it is optimal to take your eyes off the opponent.” Logan opened his eyes seeing Mina standing there, her arm had a shield attached and she was defending Logan.
“Guess dad did find some good folks to help us.”
“That he did.” Their conversation was cut off by the loud booming shots from Ashely’s shots and her screams.
“Sting Ray what the hell is going on man!!?” She screamed out to him but nothing came of it. He turned his head shooting a beam at her. She jumped off the small building she was on, the moment his beams hit the building it caused an explosion. Ashley landed rolling and shooting him. Sting Ray put his hands up to block as his suit grew into a more hulking size, he fired more beams at her but Meatless jumped swinging fast enough to keep deflecting the beam into the sky. Ratchet came out, masked up, suited and holding a minigun which she began to unload on Sting Ray. The onslaught was intense so he changed tactics and blasted off into the sky.

Screams of terror rang out catching Alexander’s attention.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGJdJ8LVAU
“NO!” Alex saw the building's integrity starting to collapse with civilians unable to make it out. He sprinted towards the building reaching out but he couldn’t slow down time for long like he usually could. He panicked seeing a large chunk of rubble falling. He jumped in grabbing an old lady and raising his arm above him in a scared attempt to block it.
“Alex!” He heard his father’s voice opening his eyes to see his dad had caught the falling rubble.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq25xw1Wdu7
“What’re you doing?!” Logan groaned as he held the rubble up.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJIRRLzobe
“Alex!” Alex couldn’t stop. He helped the lady get away but ran right back to the building.
“I can’t just sit here! Vince! Vince? VINCE!!” Vince was hiding under a table in fear and Vivian grabbed him.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg93S1Ew5I
“What’re you doing?!”
“I’m not a fighter! This isn’t my forte! Plus I-I can’t use my magic just like you so we’re useless.”
“But we can grab stuff!” Vivian grabbed random weapons and looked at them. She looked at them and Vince did the same.
“MMM MMM!” Vince saw the rat girl pointing her tail at a weapon. He looked at the handgun that had an extended barrel with swirls around it. He grabbed it and ran out with Vivian.
“Why would you- Vince!” She followed after him and he came out, they saw the scene before them. Logan held a chunk of a building while Alexander used his new augmented suit to break through the rubble and save people.
“Uhm uhm!” Vivan panicked.
“MMM!”
TINK
“Ow! Huh?” Vivian grabbed a small ball the rat girl threw at her. She looked at it then at the rat girl. She pointed towards Logan and Alex with her tail and made a swishing motion.
“Ugh! Alex!!” She threw the ball to them and Ratchet saw it. She then ignored it and focused back on firing at Sting Ray. Meatless jumped around being defensive against his attacks, slapping away all the beams and blasts. Alex grabbed the ball looking at it confused and quickly just pushed a button. A large dome field emerged and pushed the rubble up around him and the people phased into it safely. Logan let go and took deep breaths running in with his son and saving all the people inside.
“He-Help!” A girl cried out. The dome didn’t reach far enough to her, she was trapped in the back. Alex ran over and slid under the rubble using his feet he began to try and push it up as much as possible.
“Dad!” Logan ran over and grabbed the rubble lifting with his back he heard the building breaking more and strained as much as possible. Lifting the rubble up he put it on his back and raised it up.
“Get her, get her!” Alex grabbed the girl putting her on his back and suddenly a grapple launched out of his arm and yanked them out to safety. He slid to a stop with the girl hugging him.
“Th-Thank you so much.”
“Y-You’re welcome.”
“Where’s ya father?!”
“Huh wha?!”
“Oy don’t stop ya hear!” Ratchet gave the minigun to Mina and ran over to the building and launched another orb inside the barrier that raised the rubble. She hurried in and helped him get out, checking him.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUOvSQN67Y
“You alright?”
“Yeah I’m fine.”
“Good. Phew. Still need ya.” She handed him a small orb.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXBnrcm45q
“Throw that at him.”
“Uh why?”
“Just squeeze and launch.” Logan grabbed it and followed Sting Ray as best he could and then launched the orb after squeezing and a loud bang happened with a flash that everyone turned away from. It threw him off balance and his suit seemed to shut down and send him careening down to the ground crashing into someone’s stand. The moment he crashed down Vivian’s power began to surge up, extending her hand a whip of purple energy wrapped around Sting Ray and held him in the air.
“Hey… IS that Vivian or?”
“It's me.” Vivian said to Ashley holding Sting Ray.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXzf1ZtZw0
“What do we do with him?”
