The warriors face off against Omeganef.

Chapter 13: The Final Showdown

 

"Omeganef?" Ryan shouted in excitement. "This is great! Finally I get to get out there and show what I got! I can't wait to fight this guy! I hope he's stronger than Nefarious!"

 

"Uh, hello?" Adam said knocking on Ryan's head. "Maybe you didn't realize but we almost got killed by Nefarious. It took all four of us to beat him. This guy's suppose to be like a mega level or something, that means he's probably like twenty times stronger!"

 

"I know isn't that great!"

 

"Great?" R.J asked looking at Ryan like he was crazy. "We might die and you're happy? What the hell is wrong with you?"

 

"Nothing! I'm just a natural born fighter! I love to fight. I just don't go starting them, I let them come to me."

 

"Yeah well now that we got these powers fights are around every corner," Adam replied. "Everyone's out to kill us!"

 

"So! I don't care, I'll just beat the s**t out of them!"

 

"Ryan, Nefarious put Mom in this mess, she could've been killed! And even if she doesn't get attacked, think about how she'll feel if you get killed just because you decided to skip school one day!"

 

"Shut up! I'm not going to let your sissy talk stop me! I'm going to fight this guy! I'll put my life on the line, I don't care!"

 

"Spoken like a true warrior," Matt said admiring Ryan's courage and determination.

 

"Don't encourage him Matt!" R.J said. "You'll get him killed!"

 

"We'll get killed if we don't show up you wimps!" Ryan replied. "Either we can find him and fight on equal grounds or he'll sneak up and kill us while we're unaware! And if we die because we were too scared to fight, the entire world might face the consequences!"

 

"I don't care!" Adam shouted. "It isn't our job to make sure they stay alive! They were doing just fine before started helping, they'll be fine after we stop."

 

"If you're too scared to show up Adam," Matt began as he uncrossed his arms. "Don't, it'd be a waste of time anyways, me and Ryan will handle this clown."

 

"You couldn't handle Nefarious, or Jack! And Ryan sure as heck can't!" Adam added.

 

"I was still new to the transformation then, I'm better now!"

 

"What the heck? It's only been a day," R.J said.

 

"You two can sit here worried, but me and Matt are going to fight. You can't stop us so you might as well join us, or come and watch."

 

"We have no choice Adam," R.J reluctantly said. "We do need to help, it is our job. Otherwise, what good are we?"

 

"I guess, but I'm sick of killing. It isn't our decision to make if someone dies."

 

"I see you let that which you warned me about get to you," Matt said with disappointment. Nefarious was only trying to deceive you Adam. Like it or not, you have to fight, and if it comes down to it, you have to kill."

 

"I know but it-it just isn't fair!" Adam said with tears in his eyes. He turned his back and ran home. R.J ran after him, leaving just Matt and Ryan standing there. They turned to each other in disappointment about Adam. He was too soft; he cared too much. There was no room for tears in a fight, not one that concerned your life as well as others.

 

The day went by and the boys all left their homes, telling their parents they were going to the park. R.J had to sneak out because his Nana said she didn't want him out while there were freaks about the night. She was unaware of his absence because he usually stayed in his room anyways. He just locked his door and turned the light out to make her think he went to sleep angrily. Then he climbed out the window in costume and snuck off to meet the other heroes.

 

Fortunately, the others had to stop and pray, giving R.J just enough time to catch up to them.

They all approached their hangout, ready to fight. Though he still didn't like the idea, Adam still went because he realized that he needed to. They were all in their costumes so that no one else could identify them and because certain parts of their costumes had protective wear on them.

Black Lightn', Shocker, Thunder, and Zero all arrived to their destination before their enemy. Or so they thought! He was there, but they didn't know where because they usually hung out on the sixth floor, whereas he was somewhere down below. After a while of waiting the heroes grew impatient and decided to go search for him. They split up and Shocker urged everyone not to fight if they find him that is not to fight until the others show up. No promises were made.

 

Zero walked down stairs trying to adjust his eyes to the darkness. The power was still out from when Matt and Adam fought the other day. He cautiously looked around every corner with his hands ready to blast. He found nothing, at least nothing that he was looking for.

 

Thunder was on the floor right above him. He eagerly searched through all the equipment and what not. He didn't move anything; he simply blasted everything in sight. As could be assumed, his tactics were futile, as he did not find anything. Even if there had been someone there, they would have escaped because they would have heard him coming. The smarter thing for him to do would've been to use his super-hearing abilities to locate every breathing thing in the building.

 

At the way bottom Black Lightn' zipped all about the plugs looking out for Omeganef. He traveled with great speed and eventually had covered his entire section. He moved onto the room above, the one just below Zero. Still, he found nothing.

 

All the way at the top Shocker slowly paced the floor. He held his hands up just in case anyone jumped out. He was scared out of his wits; he never really was one for the dark. He heard a small explosion from Thunder's room and almost jumped out of his skin. He was ready to go home, ready to feel safe again.

 

But just his luck, he was the furthest from safety. Omeganef was in fact right in the same room as him. Omeganef stood right in the window. When Shocker finally noticed his presence it was too late. Omeganef jumped forward and kicked him back into the wall. The others heard the noise and stopped their search. They knew Shocker was in danger, so they all rushed to the top.

 

Black Lightn' arrived first due to his ability to travel through the wires. He jumped out from the light and tried to kick Omeganef in the head. But his leg was grabbed and he was thrown across the room. He stood up and faced Omeganef. Thunder suddenly came crashing through the hole in the floor from when Matt and Adam fought. He landed with his back facing Omeganef, thus resulting in him getting kicked over to Black Lightn's side. Zero came following him but when he entered he was facing Omeganef. The two stood looking at each other.

 

Omeganef was dressed in a black suit like Nefarious's except with two spikes instead of four on his head. His boots were green and he had green power storing cuffs on his arms. He also had a green chest guard, like B.L's white one. His mask only covered half of his face and it was green as well. His eyes were covered with a large black lens. The heroes could all sense his tremendous power level. He truly was worthy of the title Omega; he was much stronger than his father. The reason being that he absorbed other people's energy through two small diamonds on his coughs. He'd acquired energy form everyone he touched, so far that was Shocker, Black Lightn', Thunder and many others.

Without a word Black Lightn' stood up and made his transformation to the Hyper Warrior state. Following his lead Shocker and Zero immediately transformed as well. They all stood looking at Omeganef who had a smile on his face. Around the room there was another smile. It was none other than Thunder's smile.

 

He stepped forward and balled his fists. "Let's do this," he began. "Hyper style!" He began charging up his energy through out his body. His energy began to rise to an extent where it began to change his physical form. His muscles grew and his eyes turned gray. His short hair spiked up and veins became slightly visible. Then in an explosion of pure energy a field of whirling bluish-gray energy surrounded him. It was clear to see, he too was a Hyper Warrior.

 

The other heroes stood in shock at this exciting development. A team of four full powered Hyper Warriors, no one on earth could beat that. "Well it's about time," Black Lightn' said with a smirk.

 

"Welcome to the club," Zero joked. "We've got jackets."

 

"Alright, we can win this!" Shocker excitedly shouted with hope.

 

"It will do you no good," Omeganef warned. "I am well aware of your techniques, and I've devised a plan to make all your efforts in vain. You see these diamonds are slowly absorbing your energy as we speak. In ten to fifteen minutes you'll be completely drained, and completely helpless."

 

"It's only going to take one minute kicking your sorry a*s!" Thunder shouted. "Let's move guys!" The four all rushed Omeganef. He spun up into the air as was expected. Quickly they all shout out several blasts of energy. Omeganef only reached out his left hand and absorbed all of the blasts.

 

"If you keep that up it'll only take three minutes to drain you all," Omeganef warned.

 

"So we can't rely on blasting," Shocker stated.

 

"Big deal," Thunder replied. "I kind of wanted to pound his face in anyways!" He rushed up and began a series of punches at Omeganef's face. Omeganef managed to dodge every single one. Realizing this, Thunder decided to change his tactics. He did a back-flip kick and was successful. Omeganef was sent flying through the roof to the open skies. The heroes all flew up through the hole to continue battle.

 

Shocker flew up ready to attack with all his might. He threw a couple of punches but Omeganef spun behind him and caught hold of his cape and whirled him around. He threw Shocker back into the building. "That's exactly why I don't have a cape," Black Lightn' said watching Shocker crash into the building.

 

Black Lightn' took his turn to attack next. He flew up and faked a right punch and came around with a left hook. Omeganef dodged and B.L followed up with an elbow to this face. The attack was successful and Omeganef's mask broke and shattered to pieces. The impact drew blood from his forehead and it dripped down his face. From the look of it he was about sixteen in age.

 

Omeganef's eyes glowed dark green as is long blond hair dangled over them. He reached out and grabbed Black Lightn's throat. Black Lightn' unsuccessfully struggled to get free. Omeganef plunged him face first into the roof. Next up Zero tried to freeze Omeganef.

 

Omeganef broke free of the ice prison and shot out a series of blast in every direction. The heroes all hid to avoid getting hit. Thunder furiously flew up to finish fighting Omeganef. He tried to punch him but the attack was dodged. Next he came down with an axe kick but that too was dodged. He spun around and threw a few punches and was finally able to hit Omeganef. He punched him over and over and after every three punches he swung twice with his knees, thus adding to the brutality.

Omeganef managed to stand Thunder's powerful attacks and grabbed his right hand. He turned the tables and began punching Thunder in the stomach. Shocker rushed up to help his brother but Omeganef threw Thunder into him. Zero knew it was his turn next.

 

He jumped up and let out a large frost cloud about the sky. Therein he stood, ready to face Omeganef. Omeganef rushed him, and he was prepared. He ducked under the powerful fist that was swung at him. He came up quickly and threw an uppercut to stop Omeganef from attacking again.

With his head swung backwards, Omeganef left himself completely open. Zero continued pulverizing his stomach right where Thunder had left off. Omeganef took a few hits and retaliated with a force blast that sent Zero sliding to the edge of his ice cloud. Zero was hanging from the edge when Omeganef walked up to kick him down. But Zero quickly flipped himself over the edge and over Omeganef. He landed and put his hands to the ice to add onto it. The ice crawled up Omeganef's body and Zero rushed forward to attack.

 

He jumped up and came crashing down on Omeganef's face with a fierce flurry of punches. Omeganef plummeted to the ground as Zero safely landed on the ice. Down below Black Lightn’ dashed across the roof to attack Omeganef when he suddenly noticed Omeganef recharging his suit. The gems glowed and Omeganef sat completely still. He sat there for twelve seconds, without moving a muscle.

 

Black Lightn’ was so distracted that he didn’t even realize that Omeganef was standing until he got a yard away. Omeganef swung a right hook but Black Lightn' responded in a nick of time. He flipped over his hand and flew up to Zero. "Hey Z, you notice something?" he asked as he landed beside his cousin.

 

"What?" Zero asked looking down at Omeganef who was now fighting with Thunder and Shocker.

 

"He absorbs our energy but not yours. Yours is ice so it actually decreases his power somehow."

"Really?"

 

"Yeah, when you froze him he couldn't do anything and afterwards he had to recharge. But when we blasted him he absorbed it and became stronger. It takes him about ten seconds to recharge, that's just enough time to do some real damage!"

 

"So you want me to freeze him?"

 

"Yeah. And then me and the others will attack him. It may take a while but it's certain to work!"

 

"Alright, then here goes!" Zero and Black Lightn' flipped down to the ground and landed behind Omeganef. He'd just punched Shocker and was throwing Thunder across the floor. "Hey Megadork," Zero called out. "Chill out!" he shot out a spiraling ice blast that froze Omeganef on impact. He was frozen from his shoulders down.

 

"Shox, Thunder, hit'em with everything you've got," Black Lightn' commanded. Together the three all charged at Omeganef as he began to break the ice. Black Lightn' punched his face as Shocker punched his stomach. Then Thunder came from under and kicked him in the chin, which sent him flying into the air.

 

He came down with a hard crash on his back and coughed up blood over himself. He began recharging his self when Black Lightn' came down with a painful axe kick to the chest. Black Lightn' then did a back flip and landed by the other warriors. Omeganef stood up and shot out a large black energy blast at Shocker. Unfortunately Shocker's reflexes weren't fast enough and he was blasted into a wall. He slammed onto the ground and reverted back to his original state.

 

"Oh s**t!" Thunder shouted as he looked at his brother who was still down. "That's it you, you're going down!" Thunder flew forward at an impeccable speed and charged up his hands. He punched Omeganef's head and began pulverizing his face until blood poured down like sweat. Then he grabbed his face but Omeganef grabbed his stomach and threw him into the ground. Thunder was lying there and Omeganef walked over to stomp on his face.

 

Thunder rolled over and flipped up to sweep Omeganef onto the ground. As Omeganef fell, Black Lightn' dashed over and sent him flying back into the air with a powerful uppercut. While he was in the air Omeganef charged his hands up. But Zero was also charging up. He planned to make this ice prison stronger.

 

Thunder flew up into the air and tried to punch Omeganef but Omeganef dodged and swung back. Thunder ducked and came up with a swift uppercut. Omeganef grabbed his hand just before it reached his face and then punched Thunder into the ground. He then flew down onto the ground and looked down into the floor Thunder fell to. He rose up his hands to blast Thunder but just before he did Zero unleashed his ultimate ice wave that completely froze Omeganef.

 

Thunder came flying up and punched him down into the ground. Then he grabbed his legs and threw him into the air and came over him with an elbow to the face. Quickly he flew under him and slammed his knee into Omeganef's back. Then Black Lightn' flew up to help out. He unleashed a powerful onslaught of fierce punches onto Omeganef's stomach. Then he laced up his hands and slammed Omeganef into the ground.

 

The impact was so hard that it released Omeganef! He stood up with blood dripping down and his suit cracked and ripped all over. Even one of his emeralds was missing. One of his eyes was swollen and he had blood dripping from every tear and crack. And every drop of blood represented his anger and frustration. "You b******s won't get away!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. "You killed my father and now I'm going to kill you!"

 

He flew over to Thunder and uppercuted him right in the diaphragm. Thunder ferocity of the attack turned Thunder back to regular and knocked him out cold. Thunder fell to the ground with a dazed look on his face. Next he turned to Zero and rushed off before Black Lightn' could finish the kick he swung at his head.

 

Omeganef punched Zero in the stomach so fast that he couldn't even see the seventeen punches that hit him. He only felt the pain of every blow as his body shook from impact. Omeganef spun around and slammed a crescent kick into Zero's shoulder. Zero fell to the ground and Omeganef prepared to crush him.

 

But as his foot came down Black Lightn' blasted him in the back. "You're not going to kill my cousins," he shouted as he charged his body.

 

"You killed my father, why shouldn't I take my revenge?"

 

"Your father was a criminal, a madman who threatened the world! And you're no better!"

 

"My father wanted to bring peace to this world! He wanted to unite it under one leader so that there would be no wars, no killing, no fighting! Only peace but you sons of b*****s ruined it all!"

 

"You liar, he wanted to rule it and unite it, but by oppression, by fear!"

 

"No, Nathan Efarious was a good man! He was my father and he was a true hero, not like you freaks! And that's why I, Max Efarious am going to follow in his footstep except I'll take them somewhere better! You'll see, I am the true hero, you're nothing!"

 

"I'll show you!" Black Lightn' had had enough of being down talked for his heroics. He rushed up and let his energy explode. Max also rushed in for a final attack. They exerted all of their force, all of their energy into one fist. One final attack, the end of it all. Two powers so great that the ground shook. Black Lightn' and Omeganef shouted as loud as they could to release even more energy. The masses of energy became so large and powerful that there was no light but stood inferior to the light of their energy around their fists.

 

Their just barely missed each other and they both made impact on each other's faces. They both took on each other's full force, and so did the world. The forces shook the ground all about and the blasts could be seen from space. All glass and all weak objects shattered and fell to crumbles. There wasn't a thing around that wasn't affected by the amazing impact.

 

The smoke cleared as the two bodies hurtled to the ground. The battle was over, there was no winner. Their clothes tattered and burnt, the opponents were unable to fight anymore. Black Lightn', the warrior elite and Max Efarious, Omeganef were evenly matched. Yet, Black Lightn' lie about the floor while Omeganef painfully crawled over. "Y-Y-you..." he struggled to mutter. "Y-y-you son of a...you b*****d. You're no good. Who do you think you are?"

 

"I..." Black Lightn' stuttered in pain. He lie down with his arms spread wide, watching Omeganef creep closer.

 

"You're no hero! I am a true hero, my father was a true hero. I'm n-n-n-not done with you."

 

"B-b-bring i-i-it...on," Black Lightn' said as he painfully balled is fists.

 

"Not now, you're lucky. But soon, soon I shall make my return, I will destroy you. I will be the hero and everyone will no it." His body shook violently as he stood up and walked over to the edge of the building. When he reached the end, he let himself fall over. Moments after he'd fallen over Max was brought up by a small box shaped jet-pod barely big enough for him to sit in. As he flew off, Omeganef looked to Black Lightn' with hate in his eyes. That was the last sight Black Lightn' saw before he passed out from the exhaustion of the final showdown...
