Rainbow Dash stormed in and mowed down the remaining gang members with her gun, and as she approached the door, she beheaded the two guards with one fell swoop. She then kicked down the door and cleared the perimiter. "All clear, Crim," she said.
Crim deflected everything that was coming at him, all the guards outside were either dead or incapacitated. Crim kicked down the door and wiped out the entire first floor by himself. He shot his first man with his revolver and around eleven people in the living room, his shots piercing vital areas. Crimson dismembered three unfortunate gang members, slicing off limbs or slashing different areas. He threw his blade like a throwing knife as it went straight through a guard who was protecting the door where Circuit was. He cried out in pain as the force of the blow didn't only open the door, but caused the guard to fall down the stairs comedically.
Suddenly, the door to Circuit's chamber opened. "Guys! You're here!" he said, relieved. Rainbow Dash charged at Soarin with her sword at the ready, but Soarin knocked the sword out of her hand. She then jumped into the air and landed with her legs around Soarin's neck, and with a quick twisting motion, she snapped his neck. She then backflipped off of Soarin's now dead body, and landed on her feet next to Circuit, where she made quick work of Circuit's chains with her sword. "We couldn't just let him kill you, could we?" she said.
Crimson made his way downstairs, reloading his revolver as he noticed Soarin's dead body and a now free Circuit. He looked at the dead body of Soarin and shot him in the head, just for the hell of it. And just to get his revenge on almost murdering him. "Eye for an eye, you son of a b!tch" Crimson said before spinning his revolver and put it back in his holster. He then looked at Circuit and took a sigh of relief. "Glad your safe, me and Rainbow came as soon as we could."
"Glad you guys could make it," he said, chuckling nervously. Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk 2
"Hope he didn't hurt you much, we were forced to wipe out an entire gang to get to you." Crimson said before looking at Dash and Circuit. "Let's get the hell out of here"
Rainbow Dash grabbed Circuit by the hand and led him to the car. He got in. Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk 2
Crimson sat in the back seat while chaos ruled outside. Around five minutes later, the police arrived at the scene but Rainbow and Co were already long gone without a trace.
Rainbow Dash dropped Circuit Breaker off at his house. "My girlfriend's a badass," he said to himself. Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk 2
Crim smiled at Circuit, putting his arn around him then patting his back. "She sure is. She was amazing today, you should be proud to have somebody like her."
(Time-skip! Woooosh!) School was back, and it was the final week of the year before holidays over the Christmas break. The students were understandably eager to finally leave the school and spend some quality time with family and friends. The teachers, not so much. They still had plenty to do and such little time to do it. School was getting intense at this time of year, but it would have been worth it in the end. Crimson, despite being the envy of everybody in PE, did fairly well academically. He had received some nicknames by multiple people across the school, the majority of them being super hero related such as "Superman" and all sorts of stuff. Not only that, but he proved to be quite the celebrity to some of the less popular students. While being an almost unstoppable force of nature, he didn't really wish to clean up society like a comic book vigilante. Instead, he would rather spend time with his friends and make the most of each moment he had. He didn't even know how he even aged, but he figured it could have been the only normal thing about him left from his old life. If he did age slower then a normal human, and him and Sunset were together after school, he didn't want to watch her grow old while he remained young. He didn't want to leave her before she did, the same went for his friends. Although he didn't show it to anyone, the thought of this terrified him. Him and Sunset had gotten closer as well. The two seen each other at school and at least once a weekend. The two had gone on only one date since Crimson and her got together on the same day that Spitfire was expelled, but it was a hell of a date. He'd never seen Sunset so happy around him as he did on that night. All the more reason to worry about the fact that deep down, there was a chance that he could have become immortal. All the more reasons to keep him up at night. All the more reasons that he should be terrified of who he had become. On the last day of school for the year, Crimson was nowhere to be found. Although he was in there during the class party, he'd vanished like a ghost shortly after. This wasn't like him at all. He was usually the best friend that anybody could had asked for. It was only during the last couple of days that he had been acting strange, avoiding social contact and being terrified of the thoughts that lurked inside of him. Deep down, he was screaming in agony about everything. It would take a hell of a heart to accept that what he was thinking about was the truth. It was why he had taken time away from everybody to think about himself. The whole subject cut deep into him, but he needed this more then anybody. ------------------------ At Lunch, Sunset sat alone in the cafeteria. She would have usually gone to Crimsons locker and that the two would have sat together. But he wasn't anywhere to be seen. She could tell that Crimson felt uneasy about something, although this uneasy feeling inside of him had manifested into an inescapable nightmare. Like any girlfriend, she would have been concerned about him. But she was downright scared. Just as she was drinking her milk, Circuit and Rainbow came over to sit with her. As they sat down, Sunset stopped drinking and got everything off her chest. "I'm really worried about Crimson. Nobody has seen him all morning. He's been acting really weird for the past couple of days, I think something is wrong."
"He's probably worried about his powers," said Rainbow Dash, "I would be, too." "If I remember correctly, he will age just like anyone else," said Circuit, "That's what he's scared of, I think." Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk 2
"I think that we should go find him and tell him that everything will be ok" Sunset replied. "He couldn't have left school, so he's around somewhere"
"Yeah, we probably should..." said Rainbow Dash. (Later... near the janitor's supply closet...) "I checked everywhere but here," said Circuit Breaker, "so that must mean..." He opened the door to find Crimson inside, weeping.
Crimson looked to find his friends looking at him, concerned. He turned away, he didn't want them to see him like this. It was almost humiliating, but he was still terribly upset. Almost burdened with something that he can't stop. Sunset went down to her knees to face him at eye-level. "Crimson...are you ok" Sunset asked her boyfriend. He only shook his head in response
"We know you're worried about your powers, Crimson," said Circuit Breaker, "but you don't need to. We'll be here, every step of the way."
"It's not just that" Crimson told the group. "I don't need sleep, but it feels nice. But anyway, I had a nightmare the other night, everybody grew old and died except me. The thing was that even after death, you guys didn't stop ageing, which meant I was forced to watch you guys decompose. This nightmare has kept me up since then, I think it was a vision. That I had become immortal, and that I would watch you guys grow old and die. This terrified me."
"Crimson, I remember the papers specifically saying that you're mortal, and will age normally," said Circuit Breaker, "You have nothing to worry about."
"I knew there was doubt....but" Crimson paused at the end, before taking a sigh of relief. "No point spending time worrying about this anymore, i need to rejoin you for the class party. Thanks guys" "Its ok Crimson" Sunset told him, putting on the best motherly attitude she could to him. She then kissed him on the cheek, a sign telling him that everything would be alright.
