The super union
(1) Reunion


The air was stale with ozone and the earpiece crackled from the interference caused by the freakshows crude bionics.
“ Bio girl this is A-force”
“ Go ahead big man what’s happening”
“Me and TG are being chased by a group of freaks”
“How big?”
“Oh I don’t know sixty or so” came the reply from Tanker girl
“ Omega, Chapa, Xiddo we have freaks incoming”
We could tell A-Force was in trouble the read out on team H.U.D on various parts of our costumes told us he was tired and beginning to fatigue
“ TG can you hold them?”
“Yes Bio I think I can but not for long”
“ Xiddo! A-Force needs transport”
“Already on it, TP taxi for A-force”
We could see the tide coming towards us freaks lots of them and they weren’t happy seems we must have crashed there party
“ What the!” shouted Xiddo
“What happened?” came the voice from A-force over the comm-link,
“ There jamming TP some how”
“Don’t worry A-force! Tanker girl is here! Don’t tell me I have to save you again”
A small smile came across our faces and Xiddo let out a small laugh
“Hero to the core as always ey TG” said Omega “Come on big guy we know you ca do it”
“ Your right time to show these freaks what the super union can do” exclaimed A-force
He dug into his belt and dug out a small injector stimm, with his energy returning he grab a freaks with what looked like two oversized mallets for arms around the throat and lifted him above his head,
“FULL FORCE!!!!!!” shouted A-Force
His trademark move a body slam so powerful it sent out a shock wave that knocked half the freakshow to the floor, we stood there stunned at the sheer power that A-Force was exhibiting,
“That’s your queue,” said Tanker Girl with sarcasm over the Comm-link,
We surged forward joining the mayhem that erupted, Xiddo conjured half a dozen fire imps to assist and cast a recovery aura to aid us, Omega encased himself in an armour of granite, I let off a burst of radiation to infect the freaks a quick healing aura and then an EM –Pulse to try and disable some of the bionics of the Freakshow
“Ow why didn’t you warn me Bio? “
Damn forgot Chapa was with us she’s so quiet at times but come on leaps and bounds since Xiddo and I rescued her from an attack from a Crey power tank 3 weeks earlier, her powers come from the gauntlets I had scooped up from the unconscious Crey when she asked to join us as a hero in training, she was powerful but an awful shot even worse now my pulsed had knocked out her targeter,
“Sorry honey I got wrapped up in the fight”
“I need some help here guys,” shouted Xiddo
Chapa was on it not blasting away but not hitting an awful lot but taking some of the attention away from Xiddo.
“Hey guys I think the fight is gonna balance out, look who decided to turn up!”
“Nice to see you to Omega, “came the replay from Pyrus “sorry had to get polish my bike, lets turn up the heat shall we?” he came in low casting a flurry of fire cages and dropping some imps to aid Xiddo’s, he sucked some speed from the freaks and distributed it amongst the team.
We had taken damage and I was finding it increasingly more difficult to heal,
Tanker girl shouted, “Pattern gamma team”


We knew what that meant clear space with as mush damage as possible we grouped amongst the freaks close enough to one another to touch, we gathered our last remains of strength, focused the then waited for the time
“NOW” she shouted
The moves we had devised to affect a large area and deal damage erupted, irradiate, nova, bonfire, fire imps, full force, fire sword cyclone and seismic smash, the freaks were hurled in all directions, as the haze cleared we realised all the freaks were unconscious apart from one,
“Dreck” stammered Pyrus
Chapa tossed each of us two stimm injectors
“I have what your looking for here” came the mechanical voice of Dreck,
We all looked at Chapa we all knew what was wrong the thing we were looking for was a hostage Dr Vivian Van Dyne, Chapa’s mother and a brilliant Techno-biologist, We should’ve realised really the signs were there from our investigations but we just wanted to capture Dreck, I could feel the rage building within Chapa as could Xiddo, Xiddo started to chant in a long but forgotten language and cast an aura of calm around Chapa and an aura of protection around the group, A-force, Tanker girl and Omega flexed waiting for a sign to move,
“Im gonna TP her out of there to a safe location” Pyrus telepathically told the group,
Dreck smiled with what human features he had left “decide her fate”
A-force stepped forward “we are heroes we fight for freedom and the peace, there is no choice you piece of junk metal, let her go!”
“Hahahahahaha” the eerie mechanical laugh echoed amongst the buildings “stirring speech meat bag but she will help us if she likes it or not”
With a flash and a slight hiss she was gone that was the sign
Dreck slightly confused glared at Pyrus “your first magic man” his charge was fierce the bionics glistening in the sunlight, his first swipe went straight through Pyrus, but he just stood there smiling, stuck up his middle finger and laughed “phase shift”
Dreck was still swinging away when A-Force, Tanker girl and Omega smashed into him.
We realised the other three were in trouble and needed our help I started running towards them a fallen freakshow rusticated himself in front of me and I just blasted him away with cosmic burst without breaking a step I used my healing aura to strengthen the others and poisoned Dreck with radiation slowing him and weakening him, Xiddo blinded and wounded Dreck and Pyrus was casting yet more fire imps, I felt the air next to me heat up as I moved just in time to avoid chapa’s blasts, the anger in her eyes was that of pure hatred, Xiddo again blinded Dreck but this time Drecks hits made contact with the Three Tankers knocking Omega and tanker girl to the floor and wounding A-Force, we looked round to see Chapa blasting away now crying with rage and every hit was hitting she just screamed obscenities at him whilst dealing massive amounts of damage, she was barely a foot away when she let of a small but powerful burst that twisted and disabled Drecks bionics and knocked him fifteen feet away and left him shattered and unable to move.
Chapa stood over Dreck and just said “Dreck for crimes against the citizens of paragon city and our way of life we the super union place you under arrest”
“You will not stop what I have started” he said his breathing laboured “another will step up and continue the work I have started and my followers will choose another to take my place”
Dr Van Dyne stepped from the burnt out shop she had been hiding in and said, “I don’t think so, I have the frequencies of your bionics and I can now finish my jamming device”
“H-h-how” stammered Dreck
“Simple bio-electrical impulses”
Chapa looked up joy welling inside of her
“Mum I would like you to meet my friends and fellow heroes”
“Mum? Who are you?………. Rachel? Is that you when did you become a hero?”
Chapa removed her visor and breather mask
“Well not quite a hero more hero in training, a few weeks ago bio girl the girl in the black dress and blue jacket and Xiddo the tall guy in the white knights armour, saved me from an attack and to repay the honour I asked to become their sidekick, they found these gauntlets on my attacker and Tanker girl made this visor with built in targeter for me until I get my aim in”
“Wow its a lot to take in”
“Dr Van Dyne, I am tanker girl”
The shortest and most understated member of our group in black combat trousers
And red vest and a tied eye mask
“As you may have guessed I am a tanker as are Omega the stocky pile of rubble sat over there and A-force the big pile of muscles there”
“HI!” they both said,
“The girl with the red hair is bio girl our healer and blaster of sorts Pyrus and Xiddo are both Pyrokenetic wizard or warlocks or what ever you want to call them and Chapa who you know is a blaster”
“Wow im so glad you rescued me and we can now stop the freakshows rampage”
“That’s no problem, its what we do,” said Pyrus
“Now mum I think we need to talk and catch up on a few things,” said Chapa
“Good idea lets all meet up later and discuss the other case’s we have,” I said
“Good idea see you all later guys, I think we should get some food and sleep,” said A-force
“Ok same place as normal” said Xiddo
We got to the entrance to portal corp. and showed our ID on the way out and went our separate ways.

The Super union
Pt 2 New beginnings



As always we had arranged to meet at our usual place a small café on the canal side in founders falls, it was a warm spring morning and the sun shun brightly against the water the hard shadows from the tall apartments and town houses made a stark contrast, every so often the sound of birds or the splash of fish could be heard which in paragon cities recent years had become a rare occurrence, as I arrived A-force and Tanker girl were already sat at our usual table just by the water as so we could watch for any unusual activity, the two tankers had formed a loving relationship a year earlier when A-force was badly wounded during the rikti invasion and his wounds had become infected Tanker Girl attended his bedside everyday for twelve weeks. Suddenly Xiddo appeared next to me and I jumped,
“I wouldn’t want to be between them two when they argue”
“That’s for sure, to tankers that’s a one fight I wont take bets on!” I replied
At that moment Tanker Girl looked up and gestured for us to come over, we took our seats and waited for the others to arrive. We knew Pyrus arrived we could here his Harley coming from down the street riding pillion was Chappa, looking very much the way she did when we met her a long flowing dress and shoulder bag all matching Pyrus on the other hand was wearing his biker leathers quite a contrast from the wizard we knew his costume was made to hide his tattoos so he couldn’t be traced by them, Marko the owner of the shop came over and took our orders we all had strong Italian coffee to wake us up on this early morning.
As we chatted the conversation of super groups came up, all of us except Chappa had been in the same group when the rikti invasion happened we had all been in the first wave alongside hero1 and the statesman and the rest of the freedom phalanx the original super union was nearly one hundred and fifty heroes strong but all bar six of us made it out alive, I don’t think we will ever forget our fallen friends or that nightmare day,
A tap on my shoulder suddenly snapped me out of my thoughts,
“Sorry was just thinking!” I said
“That’s ok Leah, we all remember that day” said Pyrus
“How would you all feel about reforming the group and sharing our experience with new heroes” stated Tanker Girl
“I’m ok with that if the rest of you are,” I said
“Then we should go and see serge at Icon he can design our new group costume, after all he did design our original”
“Ok” said Tanker Girl
We finished our coffee and headed towards steel canyon all it is, is a short trip.
As we stepped of the train into steel canyon there was a major commotion all around was the sound of sirens
“What’s going on” said Chappa
“Don’t know hold on ill ask” said Pyrus
He headed to a policeman that was stood near the entrance to the station
“From what I’ve heard there’s a giant clockwork rampaging through steel”
“Lets go have a look shall we?” said A-force
We ducked into phone boxes and toilet cubicles to change
(Who said being a hero was glamorous) we all emerged ready for action Chappa looked a little confused and asked “what giant Clockwork? I didn’t know there was big ones I had heard stories but thought they were just that stories!”
“No there are two giant ones one is what heroes call Babbage and the other is slightly bigger and he is called the paladin” said Omega as he stepped off the train
“Thought you wouldn’t turn up hon.,” I said
“You think I would miss a good fight with a giant monster,” said Omega
We activated our comm.-links, Tanker girl; A-Force and Omega activated their Gravity suppressors and leapt away, Pyrus and Chappa activated their gravity belts and began to fly off Xiddo whizzed off in the same direction and I activated my personal teleport device that was built into my belt.
As we entered blyde square we could see it
“Wow he was big and that’s a lot of clockwork following” said Chappa
“Yeah I know are you ready for this” I said
“Right guys lets start this here, we are now from this point The Super Union. Once again” said Tanker Girl
We looked round at each other as friends and team mates
“THE SUPER UNION” we all chanted.
We headed into the square to find another team of heroes struggling to contend with Paladin, I activated my wrist mounted display and activated a short distance comm. Channel
“Do you require assistance?” I said calmly
The look of despair in his eyes told me everything he was struggling to keep his teammates alive the display blinked and told me that this team was fresh from training and only just sixteen my display flashed again and read
+Alpha’s Avengers+ security clearance level 15+
+Leader- Alpha child- empathy defender+
+Phoenix Dawn- fire/axe tanker+
+Mr. Ninja- regeneration/ Katana scrapper+
+Liberty Girl- energy blaster+
+The Atom- radiation Defender+
“Atom can you help alpha child with the healing?”
“Sorry lady I don’t know how ta heal!”
I turned to see the others engaging the clockwork head on two other teams joined the fray out the corner of my eye I spotted a assembler prince running at me over my shoulder came two beams of energy from Chappa
“Thanks hon.” I shouted
“That’s ok just watch your back!” said Chappa
My attention was back on Atom right hon. to heal just concentrate on healing with that he did as I said and began to heal the rest of his team looked over and looked relieved to have been healed
“Ok super union, I said lets take him down” said Xiddo
We began with Tanker girl, A-force and omega charging full speed in to paladin Xiddo and Pyrus both summed Imps they shot of and engaged the scattered clockwork
Chappa began blasting at the paladin she was hitting this enormous target very easily I ran toward paladin concentrating on my magnetic field as I reached his feet I was joined by Xiddo who had begun to summon a thunder cloud
“Hello madam need some help here?”
“Just keep me alive hon.”
The three tankers joined us under the paladin whilst Chappa still had its attention I let an EM Pulse radiate from my body I could feel the electrics inside paladin slow and struggle to stay working
“Damn” I said, “it didn’t work”
“No but its got his attention!” said Pyrus
With that A-force used his foot stomp to unsteady the Paladin Tanker Girl caused a ice patch and Omega caused a tremor at that point the Paladin began to sway and tumble, Chappa ran at the paladin jumped and used a torrent of energy to topple the giant machine but still it tried to get back up Xiddo moved his thunder cloud over what looked like an engine or power pack and began to use lightning strikes on it I climbed on top followed by the rest of the team and we began to slowly shut down the paladin as we tried to destroy the monster a quick flash went past us and impaled the power pack, we turned around to see a tall slender hero could it be?
“ Your dead I saw you vaporized by the energy beam” said A-force
“Who is he?” asked Chappa
“I am Far-Seer, I was found two days ago were the rikti mother ship crashed” he said without emotion “when I heard that there was a giant monster in steel canyon I arose from my self pity and decided it was a good a place as any to start looking for you”
“So why did it take them so long to find you? There have been heroes in that area everyday since the rikti attack” I said
“I was found on a medical table within the rikti ship unconscious along with another twenty heroes that were presumed dead after the that blast, we were unable to escape due to some kind of suppression field that negated our powers and skills we were little more than bodies with some conscious thought”
“Was hero1 there or any of the other mentors?” asked Tanker Girl
“I don’t know I remember being taken from the ship and waking in the hospital he could’ve been there I would have no way of knowing they knew our powers yet we did know each others” Far-Seer said with sadness in his voice.
“Far’ we have just this day reformed the super union will you do us the honor and join us once more?” asked A-Force,
“Yes my old friend I will we will fight for justice just like we did once before”
“THE SUPER UNION” we all shouted as we headed towards the icon store on the upper east side of steel canyon
