The OutCasts Chapter 16: The Stunning SpeedBlade
SpeedBlade:Screaming as I push myself off the ground, I jump into the air and pull back JumpStart's stun batons. Heavy Metal blocks his arm, he tries to punch me but using my speed, I run out of the way."Oh no," I say, tapping the batons against each other. "Something is wrong. They're not working. Wait, what did my brother tell me? Something about switching and buttons."I examine the batons, but I don't see anything like switches or buttons."How do I use these?"As I search all over for anything, I feel the ground shaking. Looking up, I see Heavy Metal He running toward me. Pulling back his arm, he sent it flying forward.Barely dodging his giant metal fist, I turn around, and that's when I see his other arm. Swinging it, it hits me and sent me flying through the air. I sail through the air before falling onto a roof."I am very thankful I have armor," I say as I push myself up. Thankfully, despite being hit and
The OutCasts Chapter 17: The Secret is Out
SpeedBlade: I roll around and around, trying to get some sleep but I can’t. I give it some more time but after a while, I give up and look up at the ceiling. As I stare at the ceiling of my room, I start to think back to the fight against Heavy-Metal. “Time has changed,” my brother said, “But some things do stay the same.” “I still can’t believe it,” I think, “I saw my brother. My actual brother. I don’t get it though. I haven’t seen my brother in nearly two years, and then, out of nowhere, he appeared right before me. How? And where did my brother go afterward?” Shortly after the police officers arrested Heavy Metal and left, I run back to the courtyard and searched for my brother. I run around the whole place, looking for him, but I can’t find him anywhere. Most likely, I would have spent the whole night looking for him if the others had not come and gotten me. I push myself up and sit. “Could I have been seeing things? No, that can’t be right. My brother gave me JumpStart’s ba
The OutCasts Chapter 18: Time Crunch
Silent:I watch with crossed arms as the infamous Dr. Kolohe Cho uses her technological power to complete the suit of armor.“The Iron Fist armor is nearly ready,” Dr. Cho says while looking at a metal claw. Her eyes and head glowing a blueish-green color, the claw starts to turn by itself. It grabs a massive iron hand and screws it into the wrist of the armor. Dr. Cho thanks the claw machine while it spins around.“How much longer before it’s ready,” I say, looking the armor over. Despite the dim light in the workshop, the Iron Fist armor is still shining. Easily towering over both the doctor and myself, most of the armor seems to be done. In fact, the only things that seem to be missing are the left arm and the head. Also, the chest plate is open with dozens and dozens of wires coming out of it.“Only a few more hours,” Dr. Cho starts, “As I’ve said, it’s nearly ready. The head
The OutCasts Chapter 19: Silent but Very Dangerous
QuickShot: “Anything,” I ask, looking at JumpStart as he types away at the OutCast’s computer. “Are you finished with that list of names?” JumpStart stops typing. He lets out a sigh before turning around. “No, I am not done,” JumpStart says. “I wasn’t done when you asked me a little while ago. I wasn't done when you asked me a while ago. I wasn’t even done when you asked me a long while ago. By the way, that long while ago was not a long while ago. When I am done, I will tell you. Please leave me alone until then. I work better when there aren’t people looking over my shoulder.” “How can you not be done? I thought the list of names would be short. I mean, you said how few people know about Dr. Cho.” “Yes, but as it turns out, those few people who know Dr. Cho apparently are all high-ranking officials. Their information is secured. It’s not going to be easy for me to break through. Even with my skills.” “So many names do you have?” “Uhh. None. I’m still working on my first.” “W
The OutCasts Chapter 20: One Down
QuickShot: Watching as SpeedBlade falls to the ground, I look back at Silent as he aims the blaster on his wrist at me. I move as fast as I can. With an arrow already in my bow, I pull back the bowstring but Silent fires first. Silent fires his blaster and hits me, knocking the arrow from my bow and me to the ground. “I salute your effort,” Silent says, “But I’d recommend you and your friends stop now. I spent months researching and developing this suit of armor. Besides the reinforced metal, it is equipped with an arsenal of weaponry, as you have clearly seen." "Yeah," I say, pushing myself up. "Well, as I have clearly seen, it's going to take more than just some blasters and some tasers to stop us." "Believe me. I do have more. I'm just trying to be civil." "The villain in the giant iron suit is trying to be civil," I repeat, "Are your speakers broken, or did I hit my head too hard?" "You and your friends, the OutCas
The OutCasts Chapter 21: Years Ago
Draven Ines:I put down my cup of coffee and return to reading the new proposal.“This can’t be right,” I think as I keep reading. “If this is passed, then medical clinics all over the city will lose funding and hospital will be overflowing with patients. No.”I slam the proposal close and throw it into my trashcan. Grabbing my cup, I practically swallow the whole thing before also throwing it into the trash as well.Once I do, I get up and leave my office. Entering the hallway, I nod my head toward my friends and colleagues.“Hello, Councilman Draven," one of my friends says as he passes me."Hello, Gavin," I say with a nod of my head. I walk past him and toward Councilman Dolon's office. I enter his office and slam the door shut."Councilman Draven," Councilman Dolon says, smiling as he spreads out his arms and lends back. "How can I help you today?"Noticing piles of paper
The OutCasts Chapter 22: Retreat
Ms. Justice: Grabbing JumpStart and throwing him behind me, I rise my shield and manage to protect the others from the blaster fire. Despite my skidding feet, I push against the blaster fire and stay on my feet. "JumpStart," I yell, "SpeedBlade. Get QuickShot out of here! I'll hold Silent back and regroup with all of you back at the OutPost." "No," SpeedBlade shouts, "I will not leave you alone!" "This isn't for debate! QuickShot needs to get back to the OutPost. Go! Go! Go!" SpeedBlade is about to shout again but he is cut off by Silent's blasters. The two of us duck under the blaster's fire as JumpStart grabs and carries an exhausted QuickShot toward a manhole cover. "Again," I say, kicking SpeedBlade away. "This isn't for debate. Go!" SpeedBlade finally takes the hint and uses his super speed. He runs toward JumpStart and QuickShot. The three reach the manhole cover and there, SpeedBlade uses his sword to pr
The OutCasts Chapter 23: Changes of Plan
QuickShot: My eyes snap open when I hear the OutPost's doors slide open. Immediately, I reach for my bow and an arrow and aim at the door. "Hey, hey, hey," JumpStart says, stepping back and holding up his hands. "Peace! We come in peace! Uhh, I don't have anything for a peace offering. Do you guys have something?" Ms. Justice searches her pockets. A few minutes later, she pulls out a chocolate bar. "I have this," Justice answers. "Do you want it?" "I'm fine," I say, lowering my bow. "What are you guys doing back here? With all due respect, I doubt you three won against Silent and his giant metal suit." "You're right," SpeedBlade says, walking in and sitting down. "This is not a victory. It's a retreat." "Well, I don't know if I'd use that word exactly," Ms. Justice interrupts. She joins SpeedBlade and sits down in one of our living room chairs. Once she sits down, Ms. Justice places an ice pack on her head "What do you mean by that," I ask. "For some reason," Ms. Justice says
