Ch. 20: The Attack
As Wade played his part inside, his entire team played their part on the outside. Gar, using his Gar Hax as he calls them, got into the building's systems and set everything off. All of the prisoner's doors were opening, security and defense systems were shutting down, the whole place was being set to complete vulnerability. Molly, JP and Patrick had already taken out all the nightwatch guards and now that Gar was done with his part, it was time to get in and commence the attack.
"Alright, and the party has started!" Gar called into the comm device Molly had given each of them.
"Great job, Gar" Molly replied. "Wade, you copy?"
Wade's device was put directly into the ear of his mask, keeping it safely hidden the whole time.
"I hear ya! I'm out!" he replied as he ran down the halls. "This is it guys! Let's give em hell!"
"Hell knocking at the door!" JP called.
He and Gar both turned into their animal/creature-like forms as Molly made the call.
"Alright boys, you know what to do. JP, with me to the labs. Pat, Gar, make sure those people make it out safely. We'll meet up with you there later"
"Got it! Let's do this!" Pat said as he hovered down with Gar, streaks of lightning shooting from his body.
Molly and JP flew towards the little science building while Gar and Patrick headed for the main building. Molly went ahead and detonated all the charges she placed at all the landing pad entrances. As well as, any emergency exit the General, Blue, or any of their friends could make. She wanted no chance of them escaping. As the team headed for their destinations, General Chambers was being escorted to a safe room while Dr. Blue went to get that briefcase.
"We're trying to sir, but all our systems are down!" Lieutenant Benson stated as they quickly walked down the hall.
"Get em back online! And where the hell is Blades?!"
"Doctor Blue is getting him sir!"
The scientist reached Blades' room, accompanied by his guards. He opened the door to find the villain standing and ready with his suit and bodily-formed weapons.
"Adrian, we need to go my dear boy" Blue urgently stated.
"I know, and I'll stick right by you" he sinisterly promised, because he knew who was causing this attack. And he knew that by sticking with Blue and Chambers, the attacker, his target, would come straight at him.

Wade ran into a team of troops as he charged down the hallway. He jumped into a combination of multiple attacks; punches, elbows, knees and kicks; taking out five of his assailants. One of the last few standing drew his pistol, only for it to get snatched away before Wade smacked him across the face with it. He then threw the gun at the face of one of his comrades before spin-kicking him in the chin. Wade took off down the hall again as two more guards appeared. He jumped to the side, bouncing himself off the wall and into a hard punch. He then drove his knee up into the face of the crouching guard, knocking him out, before kicking his partner's gun away. Wade followed his attack with a side kick before connecting a spinning back-fist and finishing with a roundhouse kick. Wade was about to take off down the hall again, but stopped when he saw another soldier in his way, carrying his staff.
Seeing his staff again after being away from it for so long was such a relief. But to see someone else with his staff made Wade's blood boil. The soldier that carried his staff was fairly tall, at least three inches over Wade. Not to mention, he was big too. Not that it mattered though. Wade could take this guy and felt eager to do so. The soldier stepped closer to the crusader, appearing to be a late twenties to mid-thirties man dressed in army camo uniform, carrying a mysterious expression. He moved closer to Wade with the staff in hand and it's rightful owner stood ready to take back his weapon. But then, it seemed that he didn't have to. The soldier brought the staff up in both hands like he was presenting it back to Wade, confusing him.
"I believe this belongs to you, Lord Minion" he said with a friendly smile.
That's when Wade got the picture. This guy wasn't just a soldier, he was another Minion. Wade always knew he would run into another at some point, just not this soon, let alone here. It was almost hard to believe, but nice to know this guy was here, looking after his staff until he arrived to retrieve it.
"Much appreciated" he kindly said as he took back his signature weapon.
The soldier then did a respectful bow, receiving one from Wade in return. He then moved past Wade before jogging down the hall. Wade smirked as he looked back, finding it comforting to know he had another ally here. He then turned his attention back to the staff, seeing its shiney golden form as welcoming and glorious as ever, before flipping it around.
"Oh daddy's missed you"

Molly and JP bursted into the science building through the back entrance. That way, anyone who escaped would have to go out the front; straight back to the main building where everyone else was. They took out a few guards upon entering. But since this was the small medical area, there wasn't many people here. They entered the rooms, ordered the doctors to get down or knock them out, free the patients, and beat any guards that came to stop them. Once they got to the labs, Molly and JP tore through the whole place, zapping the scientists unconscious and destroying all their fancy work and equipment. They wanted to make sure nobody got away and that they paid in full. Guards started charging in more frequently as they made their way through. Despite the high-tech armor and weaponry, they still could not stop the two relentless heroes. Molly's armor and tech was better and JP was just too strong and fast for them. They chased away the remaining scientists before reaching the building's cafeteria. Dr. Blue's office was just on the other side.
But once they reached the cafeteria, there was a riot control and defensive response team waiting for them. The front row was kneeling down with shields in place. The second row had all troops with some cool looking automatic rifles. Plus, they each had armor that was twice as impressive as the guards. Molly and JP were like dear caught in headlights. They were directly in the center of the room with at least twenty, maybe thirty, guns pointed at them. And odds are, those weapons and their bullets were incredibly advanced. It would take more than Molly's armor and JP's speed to get through this.
"Both of you stand down and surrender!" the team leader ordered.
"Molly, take off your helmet and cover your ears" JP muttered.
"What?" she whispered back.
"Get on the floor with your hands up now!" he yelled again.
"Trust me, just do it" he urgently whispered.
Molly brought up her hands as if she was raising them to surrender and removed her helmet. She raised it up with her hands, but then immediately covered her head and ducked down. Right as she did, JP unleashed this unrelenting scream that managed to shatter the riot shields held by the soldiers. It also destroyed the overhead lights, as well as most of the other forms of glass in the room. The entire riot team was brought to its knees before JP swooped in after them. Molly was desperately keeping her ears covered until the screaming stopped. She opened her eyes to see mostly dark, but not dark enough to hide JP as he stood over the entire unconscious team. He turned to face her as she stood with a look of disbelief and amazement.
"You ok?" JP casually asked.
"Uh... yea" she nodded.
"Hello?! Anyone copy?!" Wade's voice came on the comm.
"Yea, we're good, Wade" JP answered.
"JP, what the hell was that?!"
"Oh yea, Cardassians also have high-pitched sirens within their vocal cords" he stated informally.
"You could say that again" Molly almost laughed.
"Shit, and I thought Jack was a screamer"
"You know, you probably shouldn't say Cardassians can do this and that, cos some may mistake that for the those Kardashians" Molly stated as she strapped her helmet back on.
"I'll keep that in mind, and how is it your helmet isn't destroyed?" he wondered out loud.
Molly just shrugged and said, "I have a strong helmet"
She strapped it back on her head before she and JP took off again. They reached Dr. Blue's office without anyone else in their way. But when they got there, Dr. Blue was gone. There was also a safe in the corner of the room, the one Dr. Blue would have kept that case in. But the safe door was open and the case gone.
"Damnit, we're too late" Molly angrily said. "Wade, Blue's gone and so is the case"
"Alright, plan B! Just get down here!"
"On our way! Let's go!"

Meanwhile, at the main building, all of the super-powered prisoners had begun to rise up against their captors. Everywhere around, all the people who had been held captive in hell for so long were now capturing their chance to break out, to be free once again. But at the same time, the base enforcers had emergency protocols for these situations. The same protocols that were now being executed. The guards were not only using their advanced dart guns, but also grabbling hooks, advanced shock sticks, the same type of machine gun that Molly uses, and some even had shields. The prisoners were putting up a good fight, but the guards were fairly resilient. Wade ran into a large curving hallway, staff in hand, to see three guards, each pounding on someone with their shock sticks. Wade took charge at the first guard, jumping into a knee to the side and knocking him into the wall. Wade then brought him down to one knee with a hit with his staff before driving his knee up into his face. This had caught the attention of the other two guards. Wade shot a non-lethal blast towards the second guard, sending him flying into the wall, and went on the defensive as the third guard came rushing at him. The guard started swinging at him with the shock stick. It was much more powerful than an average shock stick. It was more like a shock wave if nothing else. But it wasn't as powerful as Wade's staff. He blocked the powerful shots with mostly ease before countering. He struck him in the crotch and knee before swinging the staff around and colliding it with his head. With all three guards down, the three prisoners they were beating looked at Wade with amazement and thankfulness. Wade couldn't stick around for thankyou's though. As much as he loved them and wanted to enjoy the feeling of fighting with his staff again, his job wasn't done yet.
As for Gar and Patrick, they had pummeled their way through the front gate and its defenses and were now charging through the bottom levels of the base. They had to not only make sure the General and Dr. Blue didn't escape this way, but also make sure their defense systems didn't turn back on. Gar and Patrick ran through the front garage and headed for the basement levels of the building. Once they reached it, they continued through the endless rows of pipes and boilers until they were stopped by a group of guards. They seemed to be even more heavily equipped than the rest upstairs were. The guards all stood straight across from the duo, weapons ready and loaded, as Gar ferociously growled and Patrick let his lightning show. The pathway was narrow, leaving the guards mostly huddled together, same for Gar and Patrick. Every individual in the room was ready and about to make a move. Tensions rose with the heat as everyone could feel the fight approaching. Then, once one of the guards raised his gun, Gar roared as he let out a fiery breath that consumed all those who stood across from him. The majority of the guards screamed in agony as they burned. A couple of others were protected by their armor and a third had jumped to the side, where another pathway with protective pipes was. Gar leaped forward to finish off the other two, which left him vulnerable to the third guard next to him. But just when he was about to catch him off guard, Patrick shot a volt at the pipe next to him, knocking the pipe into his head and knocking him out.
"Denied!" Pat said.
The two boys continued down until reaching the very bottom of the building. Once there, they found the main power grid that controlled the base's defense systems. They entered the room and were immediately greeted by defensive mini-guns that appeared from the ceiling and the walls. Patrick immediately brought up an electric shield to protect themselves. He kept it up for a moment before quickly drawing the power out of the weapons, thus shutting them down. Patrick then took the power he snatched away and used it to destroy the grid before anymore surprises could pop up. The grid exploded to a point where the two had to back away a few feet. Once all the sparks and bursts stopped, Pat and Gar could hear as the remaining security systems shut down.
"Woo! That was fun!" Gar stated.
"Haha, yea!" he replied. "Wade, the grid's down!"
"Alright, great work guys! Now get your asses up here and let's finish this!" Wade responded as he ran to his next mark.
He ran down the hall and charged past a couple of prisoners retreating away. He followed the multiple chaotic sounds until reaching a room full of pods. It must have been where they kept most of their special prisoners. This was also in the same area where most of the battle was happening. Wade wasted no time in jumping into a kick and punch for two guards. He brought his staff down to trip the guard he kicked before knocking him out with a strike to the head. He then started flipping his staff around to block the multiple darts being shot at him. He ran up to the shooter, kicked him straight in the gut before taking him out with his staff. After that, three other guards came after Wade with their shock sticks. Wade blocked each of their strikes and kicks before retaliating with shots to their guts and legs. He finished two of them off with a kick to one's head and a staff jab to another. But the last guy went for one last attack before Wade could finish him too. Wade blocked it and used his momentum to pull him around before straight kicking him into a pod. Shattered glass scattered everywhere as the guard dropped. The rest of the way through the room was pretty clear for Wade, all thanks to the supers who were keeping the other guards occupied. He had to assist a couple and take out a few in his way, but the rest was all clear for him.
But then, Wade entered a larger than life room where the real battle was happening. This must have been where they let the prisoners roam free. But now, it was their battlefield. It wasn't much different than what was happening in the pod room, just bigger and even more chaotic. For the most part, the supers seemed to be the ones with the upper hand. The fact they had the numbers game and coolest abilities made it unsurprising. But the guards however weren't backing down for a second. If anything, they were hitting back with everything they had. They weren't going to let anyone go without a fight. But it was a fight that Wade and everyone else here would certainly deliver.
He moved in on the nearest guard he saw and joined the fight. Wade took out the first guard with a strike to the head and started working his way through the riot scene. Wherever he ran, Wade fought off guards and assisted his fellow supers. His body armor protected him from whatever shots he took. Wade was letting every last one of his enemies have it. From strikes to the head and breaking legs to using some mind powers, Wade was conquering all. He ducked under a grappling hook that ended up hitting another guard. Wade retaliated against the shooter with a non-lethal blast. He then saw a large number of armored troops fighting hard against the other prisoners. Wade smirked as an idea popped into his head. He holstered the staff and took charge. He jumped off the back of a bent over prisoner and landed right in the center of the group of guards, a power punch landing directly to the floor. The thunderous impact left a big crack in the floor, starting with Wade's imprinted fist, and erupted through the floor like an earthquake. All the troops bounced an inch off the floor before collapsing back down. They were left completely helpless to the mercy of all their prisoners.
It still didn't end there though. There was plenty of bad guys still going at it with the prisoners. Including, a small group picking them off from an overwatch balcony. Wade wasted no time in forming a Minion Bomb and throwing it straight at the balcony, dismantling all the sharp shooting guards. It was at this time when demon-wolf Gar showed up and joined the party. He was quite a help to the supers too; big, fast, and ferociously aggressive. There wasn't too many guards left and Gar was helping clean house. Wade grinned as he fully witnessed Gar's work, having not been able to fully see it the night they met. Gar jumped down in another group of guards, tackling two of them to the floor and clawing at the rest. There was also one beside him at a distance. He had his gun raised and aimed directly at Gar without his notice. All he needed was a clear shot through the crowd. Thankfully, they weren't far from Wade. The crusader rushed through the crowd and super jumped the rest of the way, landing right in between Gar and his attempted killer. The troop started firing off as Wade brought his hand up. Using his mind powers, Wade was able to block each and every single one of the bullets. It wasn't easy though. In fact, it was probably the trickiest thing Wade had ever done with his mind. But he managed to pull it off somehow, even if it took out a lot on him. The guard stopped shooting and Wade set the bullets down, letting out a huge breath as he did. The guard just looked horrified before taking off. Wade then turned back towards Gar.
"Damn, nice work Keanu Reeves" Gar said in amazement.
"Ha! Thanks!" Wade replied, just as amazed as he was.
He glanced back to see that all the prisoners had finished off their captors and were now celebrating.
"Come on, let's get them out of here!" Wade said.
But just when they were about to call everyone and lead them out, an entire new team of armored troops entered, all carrying shields and rifles. They formed a barricade to block off the exit, which was right in front of Gar and Wade. The blockade of soldiers did not seem like they were willing to take prisoners now. Their shields were strong and their weapons deadly and ready. Wade and Gar started to get panicked, as did the crowd. That was the only way for everybody to get out. Maybe Wade and Gar could make it, but not with all the other people here. And since the troops looked to be more in an executing mood, this seemed to be it.
But before they could fire, their bodies started twitching and spazing like they were being electrocuted. This lasted for only a second before the entire blockade collapsed, revealing Patrick, who had stayed and hid for this very reason.
"Come on! Everybody out! Let's go!" he hollered and his two friends smirked as they led the crowd to freedom.
As for Molly and JP, they had to go through quite a bit of trouble on their way to the main building. Of course, they were in one of the base's most important buildings which explained it. The fact that it was just the two of them made it even harder, but not by a lot though. And they made it through. After taking out all the bad guys in their way, they were finally making their way to the main building.
"Go on ahead! I'll catch up!" Molly called once she spotted something.
JP gave her a confused look, but she flew away before he could question. He just shrugged and did as told, continuing towards the others. Molly flew off to a different side of the building to observe the four vehicles she spotted heading for the flight hangar. Her helmet was able to zoom in and identify the people who were in the car. General Chambers and Dr. Blue were sitting in the second vehicle; and Blades was in the third.
"Damnit! Wade, do you copy?!" she said, but got no reply. "Wade! JP! Does anybody copy?!" still nothing.
Molly suddenly remembered that during her and JP's journey, her helmet took a big hit. It must have disrupted the communicator somehow. Molly cursed to herself. This only made things more difficult. She couldn't call the boys up and let them know what was happening. If she went back to get them, there was a great chance of losing these guys. But if she tried to stop their escape herself, that probably wouldn't accomplish anything. She couldn't destroy the plane without destroying herself, and these guys would likely be prepared in case she did try something. She didn't have any other choice but to go back and get them. It was incredibly risky, but she had to take the chance.
Wade, Patrick, Gar, and all the other supers rushed back the way Pat and Gar came from to get everyone out. They reached the front garage area and came to a sudden halt. It seems that the rest of the base's soldiers had arrived as backup. They were all huddled behind the vehicles and small barriers with their weapons ready. Wade, his teammates, and everyone behind them froze. This looked to be an all out war here where not everyone gets out alive. Wade and his friends glanced around the area for a way to prevent that from happening. For most of them, it didn't seem like they had any other chance. But for Patrick, he could see things differently. He could see and feel all the water pipes that ran above and under the troops. He could also feel all the electrical power that ran within the vehicles. He could not help but smirk at how too perfect this was.
Patrick raised up his hands as if he was surrendering. His two teammates looked at him confusedly and he mouthed "Just trust me" to them. Wade, Gar, and eventually all the prisoners raised up their hands as well. Patrick then started to concentrate hard on all the water and power he saw. He could feel all the molecules and voltage running through in this area, a connection building from within his hands. Then, after a minute, all it took was for him to clench his fists and everything burst. The vehicles exploded and the water pipes erupted from the floor and ceiling. The troops were completely consumed by fire and water. Those who were only getting a wash up were finished off when Patrick fired electricity at them. The voltage spread throughout the fountains he had created, zapping up every soldier caught within the streams. A second later and Patrick switched from zapping to water bending. He was able to get all the water to stop rushing out, creating a safe, not to mention dry, passage for everyone. As the water storm calmed and the crowd cheered, Wade turned to Patrick with a look of astonishment.
"Cool shit, right?" he smirked and Wade just nodded.
They started to continue towards the exit. The crowd was so eager that they almost ran past Wade and his friends. That was, until they had to stop again. This time, it was a seven-foot mammoth-like man blocking their way. He wasn't just big, he was freakishly strong as well. They could tell because he was lifting up a car that had exploded and flown at him. It was still on fire but not affecting him, so he was a tough one too. He threw the car away and prepared himself to fight everyone off. Nobody seemed like they were willing to challenge this guy. Especially, not when he started stepping closer. Wade glanced at his two friends on either side of him, nodding to them as they got ready for a fight; one even tougher than their previous ones. The big man stepped closer and closer to the trio, ready to crush them all.
"Hey big guy" they suddenly heard a creepy voice say.
The giant turned to see JP grinning behind him.
"You look like you need a hug"
He jumped into a tackling hug, catching the guy by surprise. He almost lost his balance, but kept it with a confused, yet angry, look. Until, the scales on JP's body suddenly stuck out like spikes, puncturing the giant all over. Only a second later and the spikes retracted. JP hopped down and the big man dropped dead. Once he was down, all the prisoners finally broke for the exit, all except for the trio of heroes that is. They just stood there with stunned looks as JP walked up to them, grinning ear to ear.
"I call that my pineapple penetration technique" JP said with a proud smile.
"JP!" Wade said as he and the other two grimaced.
"JP!" Wade, Pat, and Gar all heard someone else call out in the distance behind them.
"Mom?" JP quietly gasped.
"JP!" more voices called.
The team of heroes started to make out the four people in the crowd that were calling his name. They had to be his parents and two brothers. Tears began forming in JP's eyes as he changed back into human form and ran up to his family. The other three watched with smiles as JP finally, after all this time of separation and running and not knowing if they would see each other again, reunited with his family. It was happy, emotional, and triumphant. Seeing JP with his family, the tears and tight embraces that accompanied it, was a true sign of their victory. They had successfully accomplished everything they came here to do.
But their battle wasn't over yet.
"Guys!" Molly called as she entered and reunited with her team.
"Molly" Wade sighed with a smile, but it was cut short.
"We need to move. Chambers and Blue are escaping" she quickly stated and the three went back into their previous moods.
"JP! Come on! We're not done yet!" Wade called back.
"Alright, listen, I gotta go, I gotta go, but I'm coming back, ok? I love you all!" JP quickly said before reluctantly rejoining his team. His family could only watch with tearful eyes and force themselves to let him go.
"And Wade?" Molly stopped him before he could rush away. "Blades is with them"
That was enough to put fire in Wade's eyes. It was time finish this.
A/N: Little quick fun fact to end this chapter; I originally was only going to have Pat do the static powers, but then I saw a live Q&A thing they did where they were asked about powers and he said bend water (you're welcome Patrick) I hope it turned out cool, but sorry I didn't give you the ones you wanted JP, hope you still love what I gave you!
Everyone please stay tuned for the next chapter, it's gonna be even crazier, and thanks for the reads. Love y'all!
