Jessicas Diaper Adventures Part 7

Hannah’s tears returned with a vengeance as she looked down at her sister. All the color had drained from her, she was still and silent. Hannah stopped flying and landed on a nearby roof, her own body weak from the fight and from her emotional turmoil.

“Please don’t die Elysa.” Hannah pleaded to her lifeless sister.

Hannah rocked her sister slowly in her arms and hummed her favorite lullaby to her as she stroked her hair.

On the rooftop of a nameless building in the heart of Galaxy City Half-Life Hannah held her sister as she slipped away. The once strong and determined heroin was now an emotional wreck as her body was rocked by uncontrollable sobs.

“I love you so much.” Hannah said.

Elysa lay motionless, a single tear leaking from her closed eye and freezing as it rolled down the side of her face.

Chapter IV: Backs Against The Wall</center>

My normal life ended when I met Sue. I was Darius Martin, a successful business man, an up and comer, if you will, in the Portal Corporation. She was the hero that had saved me from an experiment gone out of control. Since that day I’ve devoted myself to her and to fighting alongside her as the living rock man Premiere.

I’d known that I had meta-human abilities since I was a young boy. I remember falling off my bike when I was a kid and looking down at my knee to inspect the damage, instead of finding blood and broken skin I found scraped rock where my skin should have been. I hid my abilities from the world and carried out a normal life.

Sue and I are engaged to be married after several months of dating. I don’t know what I’d do without her.

Sue Radiance and Premiere watched a Malta patrol go by from their hiding place in the dense forest of The Serpents Teeth area a few miles off the coast of Talos Island. The patrol guarded several large tents, one of which contained Citadel.

“I’m kinda disappointed in the number of guards they have posted.” Premiere said with a smile.

“Be glad that we have an easy mission ahead of us darling.” Sue said as she gave her fiance a kiss on the cheek.

“I just wanted a chance to smash Malta into the ground.” he said.

“I’m sure before all is said and done you’ll have more than enough enemies against you to keep you happy.” she said with a smile.

Premiere hugged and kissed his bride to be, “I love you.” he said before turning to his stone form.

Sue smiled at him. “I love you too.” she said and took flight with him in tow, dropping him from the air onto the soldiers below, preparing to fly in after a moment to provide backup.

As Premiere plummeted to the ground he looked back up at the love of his life. “Good luck Sue.” he thought as he hit the ground with a shockwave that knocked several nearby soldiers off their feet.

Bullets bounced of his stony hide harmlessly as he bent down and pulled a large section of the Earth up and launched it at a group of soldiers, smashing them to the ground with the weighty chunk.

Another group of soldiers scattered when a blast of energy struck the ground in the middle of them. Sue hovered down to meet with her teammate and carry on the fight.

Several soldiers came from the forest and opened fire on the duo. Premiere shielded Sue with his body and provided her cover to fly up and blast the soldiers away.

“These guys are rookies.” Premiere said as Sue came back down to him.

“Then maybe you’re ready for the majors.” a man’s voice said from one of the tents.

“Who are you?” Sue asked the man as she prepared an energy attack for him.

“The name’s Alpha Black.” the man dressed like a cowboy answered with a tip of his hat.

“What are you doing here?” Premiere asked.

Alpha Black smiled. “Well, I’m not gonna lie, I’m here to make sure you die.” he said.

Sue blasted at Alpha Black, leaving a smoking hole in the man’s chest.

“Please.” Alpha Black said as he looked at Sue and Premiere with a smile.

Sue and Premiere watched in amazement as the hole closed up before their eyes, leaving no mark behind save the burned clothing around it.

Alpha Black quickly drew his weapon and shot Sue in the stomach sending her sprawling to the ground.

“Sue!” Premiere shouted as he leapt in front of her to protect from further attack.

Alpha Black fired another shot at Premiere and hit him in the shoulder. The shot went through his rock armor and arm below and back out the other side.

“Looks like you can get blood from a stone.” Alpha Black said with a smile. “Now that you two are weakened, I have a new playmate for you.” he said and pulled a remote control from his jacket and pressed a large red button on it’s face.

Premiere crouched near Sue as the ground began to rumble and a heavily armored robot came from the forest behind.

“Premiere and Sue Radiance, meet the Kronos Class Titan.” Alpha Black said. “Twenty feet tall, weighs two hundred tons, and has a nasty disposition, enjoy.” he said as he ran for the cliff side near the campsite and leapt off. Seconds later a helicopter appeared in the air with Alpha Black inside saluting the two heroes with a smile as he flew away.

“Sue, wake up honey.” Premiere said as he hoisted his lover into his arms.

Sue held her bleeding stomach and looked up at him. “We’re not gonna make it, are we?” she asked weakly.

Premiere shook his head. “Doesn’t look like it hon.” he said.

“Set me down.” she said.

Premiere gently set his fading girlfriend down onto her feet.

“Now is as good a time as any to try this out.” Sue said.

Premiere watched as Sue’s body began to glow, softly at first but gradually building to a near blinding glow.

“What are you doing Sue?” Premiere asked, concerned that she was expending too much energy in her weakened condition.

“It’s something I’ve been working on, I call it Super Nova.” she explained. “Give me your hand.” she said.

Premiere took her hand in his, his stony mitt enveloping her small hand easily.

The Kronos Titan moved in quickly for a behemoth of it’s size and swung it’s mighty fist down onto the two heroes. The great metallic fist struck the barrier of energy that Sue had created and left them unharmed.

“I love you Darius.” Sue shouted over the deafening hum of her building energy field.

Darius focused his mind on keeping his stone armor intact as Sue’s energy waves ripped at it with every pulse. “I love you too Sue.” he shouted back.

The Titan fired several laser blasts that were deflected easily, and moved to punch at the pair of heroes. The giant fist melted and broke away as it neared the now white hot energy sphere.

As the Titan made another attack the energy sphere exploded creating a massive crater and melting the Titan and the entire are within a mile radius.

As the smoke cleared from the area Sue Radiance and Premiere could be seen laying motionless in the epicenter of the blast. The Kronos Titan moved only slightly as it’s circuits fired randomly in the throws of death.

As the sun began to set, Sue Radiance and Premiere lay unconscious they continued to breathe softly and weakly but made no moves to get up.

Dementia’s Knight pulled the red hot poker from the Malta spy’ shoulder. The man’s screams were muffled by the tape over his mouth.

“It’s funny, now that I don’t have my armor, I have no sense of what your feeling right now. I suppose I should thank you for that.” Knight said.

The man muttered something behind the tape.

Knight ripped the tape from the man’s mouth roughly.

“Doing this won’t bring your friends back.” the man said.

Knight smiled. “It’s a good thing that’s not why I’m doing it then.” he said and replaced the tape over the man’s mouth as he heated up the poker again.

Azuria had Ataris stand in a circle she’d painted on floor of her office.

“I’m going to read an incantation now, after I’m done you should be able to turn back to your normal form.” she explained.

Ataris nodded and stood where he’d been told to as Azuria began to read from a large book.

The circle surrounding Ataris began to glow brightly and enveloped him in light for a moment. Once the light had faded and his vision returned to normal he saw that he was indeed back in his normal form.

“Bless you Azuria.” he said as he hugged his grandmother tightly.

“You’re quite welcome my dear.” she said. “Now, you must go to your teammates aid.” she explained.

“Who needs help?” he asked.

Azuria wore a grim expression. “All of them.” she said.

“Who do I help first?” he asked.

“Sue Radiance and Premiere are defenseless at the moment. If you don’t get them to safety quickly, they might be killed.” she told him.

“What about the others, are they going to be ok?” he asked her.

“I cannot say, but this will be the darkest hour for your team.” she said. Azuria went to a large chest near her desk and retrieved a large battle axe similar to the one Ataris had left on the boat. “This is the twin to the axe I gave you years ago.” she explained as she handed him the weapon.

Ataris nodded. “Thank you grandmother, I won’t let you down.” he said and left to help Sue and Premiere.

“I know you won’t Ataris, I know you won’t.” Azuria said with a smile.

Ataris went to the base to get Knight to teleport them to Sue and Darius and found his team leader in the middle of a torture session with Keyword.

“Knight, what the hell is going on here?” Ataris asked.

“This man is a fake, he works for Malta and arranged for us to walk into that trap.” Knight explained.

“Well, Azuria has told me that the others are in danger as well, we have to get Sue and Premiere back here quickly.

Knight nodded he turned to his captive and put his hand over the man’s mouth and nose and summoned dark energy into the palm of his hand. The Malta spy struggled to escape from the suffocating cloud of energy, but quickly succumbed to the power and passed away.

“Now we can go.” Knight said with a terrifying look of satisfaction on his face.

Knight teleported himself and Sue back to the base and then Ataris and Premiere with him in the next trip. The pair setup the comatose heroes in the medical ward and left them to rest as the monitoring equipment kept them up to date on their condition.

Knight noticed that Sue had a healed gunshot wound in her stomach and Premiere had a similar one on his shoulder. “What happened to you guys?” he asked the unconscious pair.

“Who else needs help?” Knight asked Ataris as he came out of the infirmary.

As Ataris started to answer Hannah came in carrying a badly wounded Elysa. The emerald haired woman broke down into fresh sobs as Knight took Elysa from her and to the infirmary and Ataris carried her to the bed next to her sister.

“It’s no good, she’s gone.” Hannah said in between sobs.

“Remind me never to hire you as my doctor.” Knight said.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” she asked.

“Elysa isn’t dead, she’s close, but she’s still alive.” he said and rushed to get the necessary equipment needed to treat the injured girl.

Hannah began to cry again and knelt beside her sister’s bed holding her hand in her own. “Hang on ‘Lysa.” she pleaded to the unconscious girl.

Chapter V: The Crushing Darkness</center>

Flower Child and Electro-Cute walked through the rickety wooden door covering the entrance to the Malta cave on the shore of Platinum Lake in Steel Canyon.

“You feeling like this isn’t right too Hanako?” Samantha asked her teammate as they made their way down into the depths of the cave.

Hanako nodded. “I do not like confined spaces.” she said.

“Not thrilled about them myself.” Samantha said.

The duo trudged onward deeper into the cavern and finally came to a fork in the road.

“Which way?” Hanako asked.

Samantha shrugged. “Nobody said anything about a fork in the road.” she said.

Hanako sighed and looked down each darkened path before walking down the left path.

“How do you know that’s the right way?” Samantha asked.

“The plants in this cave are telling me that their are bad men this way.” she said without looking back.

“Great, we walk into a trap because the plants told you which way to go.” Samantha said with a scoff.

As they neared the end of the tunnel, they could hear voices and see the light of a fire ahead. Hanako turned to Samantha and gave her a knowing smile before preparing to enter the area and fight whatever was ahead.

Samantha moved into the lead and charged the palm of her hand with electricity as the neared the entrance to the next area. Samantha took a deep breath and leapt into the next section of the cave. Several arcs of electricity left her hand and bounced off of the empty walls of the cave.

Ceasing her attacks Samantha looked around the cave for any enemies. “What the hell is going on? There’s nobody here.” she said.

Hanako went to the fire and retrieved a tape recorder that was sitting on a nearby rock playing the voices that the pair had heard earlier.

“I don’t like this.” Hanako said as she shut off the tape recorder.

“Me neither, let’s get out of here and find out what’s going on.” Samantha said as she turned to head back the way they came.

As the pair neared the fork in the cave path the area began to shake violently. The roof of the cave began to crumble and several large chunks of rock fell down around the two heroes.

Samantha and Hanako ran for the exit, debris falling all around them as they neared the cave entrance.

“Now!” a voice shouted, and several loud pops were heard as nets were shot from Malta rifles and entangled around the two heroes as they fell backward into the cave.

“They’re subdued, turn up the seismic generator.” a Malta soldier ordered.

The cave shook harder and began to collapse around the two incapacitated heroes. As the dust finally began to settle and the shaking stopped, both heroes were completely buried under a large pile of debris. The pairs screams ceased a few moments afterward.

“Electro-Cute and Flower Child are down sir.” the cowboy dressed Malta soldier said into his earpiece.

“Excellent work Delta Black, return to base for further instructions.” the man in the office said into the radio.

“Understood sir.” Delta Black said and gathered his men up and headed for the waiting helicopter.

Hannah stood outside the infirmary and watched as the robotic medical equipment worked on her sister inside.

Knight came up to the emerald haired hero and handed her a cup of coffee.

“Thanks.” she said with a weak smile.

“No problem.” he replied and looked in on Elysa. “You know that we have the finest medical equipment in the western hemisphere right inside that room, if anything can save her it’s those machines.” Knight said.

Hannah nodded. “What happened to your armor?” she asked without looking away from Elysa.

“Ataris and I were ambushed on the ship we went to investigate. The Malta soldiers wanted my armor for something. Ataris saved me and destroyed the machine, and my armor in the process.” he explained.

“I thought that you died if your armor was removed.” Hannah said with a puzzled expression.

Knight shrugged. “Guess I got lucky.” he said with a smile.

Hannah turned and hugged him tightly. “I like you better this way.” she said as she buried her face into his chest and began to cry.

Knight stroked the back of her head gently and wrapped his arms around her. “She’ll be ok Hannah, I promise you.” he said.

“It’s just so hard to see her that way, just completely beaten. I don’t know what I’d do if I lost her.” she said between sobs.

“Maybe you should try and get some rest. Elysa will be in surgery for a few more hours at least. I’ll wake you up if anything changes.” Knight said.

Hannah broke their embrace and nodded. “You’re probably right. I’ll be in my room.” she said and turned to leave. “Thanks Nate.” she said with a smile.

Knight returned her smile. “You’re welcome Han.” he said. After Hannah had disappeared from view Knight took her post outside the infirmary and watched in on Elysa.

Hanako breathed shallowly under the weight of the rocks that were piled on top of her. She struggled to free herself from the net around her, but found no way out. “Samantha?” she managed to whisper.

Samantha groaned. “Can you get free?” she choked out.

“Not on my own, but I might be able to get some roots in here to push the rocks off of us.” Hanako said.

Hanako focused her thoughts on the roots running below the cave and pushed them up through the ground and had them pick up the boulders and debris on top of them and move them away. After several minutes of work the two heroes were uncovered. Hanako used a knife in her pocket to cut the net away and did the same for Samantha.

“I think my arm and leg are broken.” Samantha said.

Hanako got up slowly and limped over to help Samantha up. She examined her partner’s injuries and saw a bone sticking through Samantha’s blood soaked pant leg. “Yeah, your leg is definitely broken.” the Asian hero said as she tried to keep from vomiting.

Samantha put an arm around Hanako and let her lead them out of the cave as she hobbled along. “I think I’m gonna pass out.” she said, her face stark white.

Hanako helped her friend back down to the ground. “Stay here, I’ll go get someone to help you get back to the base.” Hanako said.

Samantha nodded slowly and spat as she tried to fight the urge to throw up from the pain.

Hanako leapt into the air, covering hundreds of yards in one jump. The young hero howled in pain when she landed, and collapsed to the ground. She held her hip tightly and bit back her tears. “Samantha needs me to be strong.” she said to herself as she slowly got back up and jumped again, each time a blinding flash of pain bringing her to the ground after she landed.

Knight checked on Sue and Darius while he waited for Elysa to get out of surgery. Both of the comatose heroes conditions hadn’t changed in the few hours since they’d got back from the field.

Hanako limped into the base and called out for anyone that may be back from their mission. “Hello! Anyone here?” she shouted.

Knight came running around the corner to find out what was going on and rushed to catch Hanako before she collapsed from the pain of her injuries. “Hanako, what happened? Where’s Samantha?” Knight asked as he carried her to the infirmary.

Hanako looked up at him, her consciousness fading. “We were attacked, Samantha’s hurt pretty bad, she’s at the cave on the outskirts of Steel Canyon.” the young hero said before succumbing to the crushing darkness that her body was forcing upon her.

Knight carried the unconscious hero to the infirmary and grimaced at how full it was getting. Setting the young hero on a free bed he began to set up some monitoring equipment for her and started the machine that would begin examining her injuries and fixing them.

Leaving the infirmary, Knight teleported out to the cave where Samantha and Hanako had been and brought the unconscious Samantha back to the base and set her up in the same way he had Hanako.

“What happened to them?” Ataris asked as he entered the infirmary.

Knight shook his head. “Not a hundred percent sure, but I know that they were hit by Malta just like the rest of us.” he said.

Ataris looked at all his injured teammates. “If Malta hits us again, we might not survive.” he said grimly.

Knight nodded. “We need to find the others before something else happens, if it hasn’t already.” Knight said.
