Ultra Girl flew over the streets of the city and arrived in the ruins. She dropped down and glanced at the area around her.
"So these are the old town ruins. How morbid." She said to herself and reached out with her telepathy to find innocents. The first thing she picked up was someone up above her. She looked up and saw a bright purple light flying towards her. Ultra Girl lifted herself up into just before it hit. The blast causing a large explosion below her that sent Flannery flying backwards. She hit the ground hard but shook it off. Looking back up, she saw another blast flying towards her. Ultra Girl raised her telekinetic shields to block the blast. She struggled against the power of the beam but was able to push it away. A teenage girl, who didn't look to be much older than her, floated down. "Thought that would get you. Huh."
"The name's Violet." Her body glowed with the same purple energy from before. "My card." She blasted Ultra Girl at the same time that Ultra Girl pushed at her with her telekinesis. The two powers collided in the middle of the street until there was an explosion, flinging both of them backwards. Violet wrapped herself in energy again, protecting her from the impact. Ultra Girl flipped in the air and landed on her feet. "Why are you doing this? These are innocent people!"
Violet sighed and jumped back up to her feet. "...Eh."
"Eh?"
"I dunno, I was just feeling kinda bored when Skullface showed up and made a deal with me."
"Skullface? Tell me, where is he? Where is my friend?"
"Got me. Guy didn't tell me that part."
Ultra Girl was trying to read her mind but whatever that energy around her was, it was...disrupting it somehow, she couldn't get in. "Fine then, next question: Where are the civilians?"
"Uhhh....let's see...in the church. I think that's where I put 'em."
"You think....or you know?"
"Shut up and fight." Violet said and blasted her. The beam was larger this time but Ultra Girl was able to lift herself up into the air over it and then TKed her down the street and then into a wall to her left. Ultra Girl flew over and kept herself ready. A beam of energy flew out and slammed into her shields, pushing Ultra Girl backwards and into the building behind her, creating a large hole in it. Violet flew up after her, blasting into the building sent Ultra Girl into. However, Ultra Girl had already made a hole in the floor and flew down to the next floor, opened a window up with her mind and then flew out, floating underneath Violet and hitting her from below with a telekinetic blast. Violet's aura protected her but it still caught her off guard, the attack slamming into her and tossing her up into the air. Ultra Girl raised her arms above her head and then threw them down, tossing Violet down to the ground. She made a small crater on the impact. Ultra Girl flew down next to her. "Ow."
"Ready to give up yet?"
"Not even close." She replied and blasted Ultra Girl away. Fortunately she was able to get her shields up in time. (Something is up here.) Ultra Girl thought to herself as she skidded along the ground on her back. She sprung back to her feet just in time to be blasted away again. Ultra Girl was sent flying by the blast out of the old town.
"Ohhhh, that is IT!" Ultra Girl yelled and sent a powerful telekinetic blast down the street right back towards her. The blast tore up the street and sidewalks as it approached her. Violet flew up into the air, crossed her arms and then flung them outwards, her hair standing straight up as her aura swirled around her more violently now. She sent out more powerful beams of energy that Ultra Girl barely dodged by flying up into the air and around the ruins of old town as Violet fired on her, the beams blasting clean through the buildings around them. Violet stopped firing and flew right at her. Ultra Girl turned to face her and channeled her telekinesis to strength and grappled with Violet as she slammed into her. Violet's battle aura pushing against her as she and Ultra Girl flew through the air, falling towards the ground incredibly fast. With a yell, Ultra Girl flung Violet down to the ground, causing her to break the ground and dig a trench in the street for a few feet before she kicked her feet up and fired a blast of energy from them. Ultra Girl jumped up over it, the blast flying down the street and continuing out of the old town. Ultra Girl slammed her again, pushing Violet further into the ground. Grunting, Violet flared her aura, flinging Ultra Girl head over heels into the air. Violet flew after her and punched at Ultra Girl only for Ultra Girl to dodge it and then channel her telekinesis to strength as the two clashed in mid-air. Violet's aura flashing in the air as she and Ultra blocked and countered each others attacks with a dazzling display of mid-air martial arts. Spinning kicks, blocks, right hooks, uppercut, block, counter, back hand, roundhouse, the two women continued with Ultra Girl being slowly driven back. It wasn't her skill, but her raw power. That battle aura of hers was getting out of hand here, it was starting to send her flying even when Ultra Girl blocked a hit. Violet flew at her again and attempted a punch but Ultra Girl ducked it and punched her in the stomach with her psionic strength while also sending out a telekinetic burst at the same time. The combination disrupted her battle aura and sent Violet flying away. Ultra Girl slammed her down into the ground again with TK and then lifted her up again and slammed her down again. As Violet was getting up and rubbing her forehead, Ultra Girl flew down after her and sent out another TK wave at her launching Violet away like a rag doll. Violet was just able to summon up her battle aura before she hit the ground though, protecting her. Once again, it began swirling around her, like a tornado now, the energy crackling in the air around her, shooting off and hitting buildings. Violet's eyes were glowing now. "Good try Ultra, really, it's been fun. Bye-bye now."
"Like hell!" Ultra Girl flew over to her, bringing her arms back as she gathered force and then flung them forward as Violet fired a blast of energy from her one hand. The telekinetic force wave pushed against her blast in the middle of the street. Ultra Girl dug her feet into the ground and gritted her teeth as she struggled to hold back her blast. Despite putting everything she had to hold her off, Ultra Girl was losing ground, her feet breaking the ground below her as she was forced backwards. Violet then used her other hand, the blast blowing her away.
The explosion shook the street.Violet waited until the shockwaves died down and walked over to where Ultra Girl was. She was laying in the crater in the ground. Her shields had saved her life but she was obviously hurt. Violet sighed. "Jeeze, I thought this would take longer. Nobody ever gets back up from that one." She looked down at Ultra Girl. "Should I?" She asked herself as she started to raise her hand up but then relented and turned to walk away. "Ah hell with it, I beat her didn't I? Guess I'll go get high and wait for the others to show up."
Where.......where am I? Did I....did I die? No.....this isn't.....where am I? Flannery saw a woman running down a hallway and a man in blue. It didn't take her long to recognize that the blue was a costume. Stronghold. He looked bad, his costume had tears on it and he was bleeding. She didn't recognize the woman but she looked like another hostage. Stronghold! Stronghold! It's me!
She yelled at him in vain. Whatever was going on, he couldn't hear her. Stronghold and the woman were complaining about something, a bad smell. She tried to reach out to him but she passed right through Stronghold. For a split second though, she got something from him. Violence, lunatics, fighting, fighting, powers gone....it was only for a second though. How did I do that? She looked back up to see Stronghold running over to a tied and bound man on the ground. A trap. She yelled to him but he didn't hear her. She saw a man in a suit walk out of the shadows. Ultra Girl screamed in horror and ran over to try and knock away his arm but she passed right through him. Upon contact though, she saw more visions.She saw what this man was, the things he and sick allies did to innocent people, what he had planned for them. It was enough to make her want to vomit. She heard the gun fire. She saw Stronghold scream in agony and fall to the ground. No. Blood on his back. Matthew. A larger man walked out and grabbed Stronghold, dragging him by his leg. Can't be. The Gentleman gestured for the woman to pick up the tied up man, holding her at gunpoint. No. Not you. Not like this. No. NO. NO!
"NO!"
"WHERE IS HE?!" Ultra Girl demanded. "TELL ME WHERE THEY TOOK HIM!" She was levitating in the air now, her eyes glowing as the rubble and fire from the crater she was in swirled around her. She sent out a psychic wave towards her. Violet was pushed away by it, her aura itself almost blown away from her. "That...felt....great." She smiled warmly at Ultra Girl as her eyes glowed purple once more. "For the first time...I'm really excited. I'm anxious even. I've got goosebumps. First time getting those. Thank you...thank you Ultra Girl. You made this whole stupid trip worth it." The two geared up for their second round, psychic power and raw energy swirling around both of them.
Violet's scream was drowned out as the blast of pure psychic power swallowed her up. Ultra Girl fell on the ground. She was breathing hard, her face was dripping with sweat and her nose was bleeding. The pain she had taken through the fight had caught up to her, not to mention using power that she had never imagined she had. "Wha........what-what-what was....what was that?" Ultra Girl asked herself as she wiped the blood from her nose."I....I didn't know...how did I even do that?" She struggled to her feet and looked around for Violet.
Ultra Girl found her, despite everything, she was still alive, but injured. Her costume was torn and in tatters and she had blood on her legs and arms and one of her eyes was shut, her hair was a mess and her nose was broken along with bruises all over her body. She turned her head. "D-damn.....girl...you aren't bad. Thanks....it...it was fun."
"Violet.....tell me, why did you do this?"
"Mmm...I...I get--get bored easily...that's all."
"That's it?"
"I don't hate people...not even you...I'm not like the other loonies.....just...wanted...to have fun. That's all."
"Hmph. You could have joined up with us. That would have been real fun."
"Yeah.....maybe."
Ultra Girl could read her mind now. The civilians were safe, locked up in a shelter not far from here. "I...for-for what....s worth, hope...hope you save your friend."
"Thanks. Don't die Violet."
"Mmmm...don't worry...I won't."
Ultra Girl started to fly away.
"Jammers!"
"What?"
"I...just...I just remembered...skullface said....something about....ceiling..jammers. Don't..know what for though."
"Jammers....ceiling...I see. That must be how he's canceling Stronghold's powers...alright, I'll tell my friends that. Thanks for the warning."
Violet smiled and closed her eyes, passing out from her wounds.
Ultra Girl flew down to the shelter and TKed it open. The civilians were sitting around, unharmed. Violet hadn't harmed any of them.
Ultra Girl smiled and called to the others. (Ultra Girl here. Area secure and...I have new information.)
