Heroes vs Baddies: The Inferno's Wrath Chapter 5

View Chapter 4

Seeing the giant Cyclops standing over him, the scared Gunner pulled out his Nerf machines guns and unleash all his fire on the monster. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to do anything on him. "Why in tarnation something like Nerf guns ain't killing him?"

"Don't worry sucka, we help you."

Gunner turn to who his helpers were, he frown when he saw them, "Oh great, you guys." It was the two wannabe rappers. They charge straight to the giant and fire their guns. The Cyclops looks puzzled at these two foolish man running at him. He reach down and grab the two in one swoop. He lift the two wannabe rappers high the air and threw them far away in the distance. Gunner shrugged and said, "Eh, who needed them?"

The Cyclops then turn back to the southern man. Gunner started running away from the beast while firing a few Nerf rockets at him, sadly they don't do any effect on him. The Cyclops opened his mouth and it seems like energy was building up while vacuuming everything up within 30 feet. Gunner grabbed on to a nearby flagpole as everything around was getting sucked up. Soon as the vacuuming was finished, the Cyclops used all the energy he collected and release it as a powerful blast directed towards the Hero. Gunner quickly press a button on his watch and it activated a protective coating just before the blast hit. He was throw a few feet away from the attack.

Gunner got back to his feet and see the monster was heading towards him. The Hero pulled out one of his special ice Nerf missiles and put in his Nerf rocket launcher. He fired at the Cyclops foot. The missile impacted and created entire iceberg around the monster's foot. "That should buy me some time."

"Hey!"

Gunner saw a golf cart heading to him. He saw the driver was the former secret agent. He stopped the cart nearby and came to Gunner with a briefcase. "The teleport wave sent me back to the baseball field. I saw the Cyclops from there. So I hurried to my car and grab this briefcase. I think this should help you, it's an experimental weapon we made back when I worked in the secret agency." Gunner opened the briefcase and saw it contains a electronic Nerf missile.

Soon, the monster broke free from the ice and started doing another vacuum attack. The Hero said, "All right, enough of this." He loaded the new missile in his rocket launcher and aimed where the energy was building up. The missile got fired and crashed into the energy. It resulted in a big explosion. When the smoke from the explosion cleared, the Cyclops was missing his head. The dead headless body crash into the ground.

"Glad your alive."

Gunner felt a pat on his back and saw Slicer behind him and he said, "I saw the Cyclops from the distance and rush to meet with you." Gunner asked, "Did you see any others?" Gunner answered, "I saw Medic and Girl on the way but there is some bad news..."



I was at the baseball field, on the way to the missile. Out of nowhere, a group of former construction workers gang up on me. I looked to the east and saw the giant Cyclops at the distance and back to the workers in front of me. I asked, "If that Cyclops is over there, then who are you guys?" One of them told me, "We're their twin brothers."

One with a jackhammer attack me. I ducked to avoid it and return with a uppercut. I then did a jump kick and he was thrown back. All the other workers charge to attack. They stopped when dodgeballs came and nearly hit them. I turn to their attackers and see it was the former ROTC students. One said, "Don't worry Chris. We got these workers, you get to the missile." I nodded to him and ran off.



Old Dude was using his jetpack and flying through the air. He saw the airplane display area below with The Inferno and Villain nearby. He landed down to meet with them. The Inferno said, "I remember you. You were called Young Dude back than. I try to recruit you back in the day but you found out that our side was the evil one, so you join the Heroes instead."

Villain said, "Let me take care of this one my lord." He swing a dodgeball attach to a rope. Old Dude flew back to dodge the weapon. He returned by unleashing ten Nerf missiles out of his jetpack. Villain quickly pulled out a sheet of cardboard to protect him from the missile impacts. The impacts of the missiles throw the Baddie back a few feet.

As Villain was getting back up, Old Dude pulled out a Nerf shotgun and said, "I seen better fights." Suddenly, he heard the ground shake. Out of the ground came three Giant Mutant Insects and they latch on to Old Dude. One of them took a bite into the ancient one's stomach. Old Dude scream in pain as he pulled the bugs off of him. He fire his shotgun on them while placing a hand on his stomach. Villain said to ancient one, "Now you die!" The Baddie fired at Old Dude as he flew into the air. Unfortunately, one of the Nerf cannon's balls hit him in the chest and cause him to crash into the ground.



I got to the BX parking lot and saw Medic looking down at Girl. I ran to them and asked, "What's happen?" Medic got up and said in sad tone, "She's dead. Judging by the wounds, I say Villain killed her." I balled my fist and I said, "That man has killed too many Heroes." Medic now told me, "Slicer was here a minute ago, he said he wanted to help the guy facing the Cyclops." Just then, we heard a loud noise. We ran to the location and saw a heavily injured Old Dude who recently crashed into the ground. It seems he was dying.

I went to his side and held on to his hand. He said weakly, "Well it's been fun to be fighting again. Too bad my time was short." He reach in his pocket and pull a strange tennisball that's cover in strings of mithril. "I was going to use it on The Inferno after I defeated Villain. I should of use it before. Please, use this to finish the mission." He cough a few times and continued his speech, "This ball however, it does have a limited use, so use it wisely. It was armor made by the Knights themselves, It shall protect you from The Inferno's attacks." I grabbed the ball and watch Old Dude die.

I ripped open the ball and shortly after, the strings wrapped around me. Soon as it was done, I was in a super armor with a super jetpack that can fly in 100 mph in a millisecond, shoulder-mounted Nerf cannons, hand-held automatic machine Nerf gun, and a long toy lightsaber that's twice as long as a normal one.


I activate my super jetpack and flew straight to Villain. He saw me coming and fire at me. In less of a millisecond, I was gone from his sight. Just then, a fist hit the side of his face. He before he could recovered, I grab his arm and broke it. He open his mouth but before he could scream, I ripped his Nerf cannon out of his hands. I swing his weapon upwards at him. It hit him and split his eyebrow open. With his cannon in my hand, I threw at him so hard, he was flung back. His body crashed into inside an nearby plane. I fire my shoulder cannons at the vehicle and watch the explosion.


I reached to The Inferno and he said, "The missile is almost done being reconstructed. Soon it will launch and the city of Little Rock will be destroyed." I replied, "No, I will stop you and save the city." I fire my automatic-machine Nerf gun. He pulled up a wall of flames that stop my bullets. The ancient Baddie stomp on the ground a few times that sent out 10-foot tall flaming shockwaves. I fly high in the air to avoid them. In fast speed, The Inferno flew to my location and rammed into me. Before I could recover, The Inferno threw a powerful punch. I was sent flying far away, out of the base and into Jacksonville.

I crashed into the ground and found myself at the old Wal-Mart parting lot. I would of die from that crash if it wasn't for this super armor. Out of nowhere, The Inferno teleported nearby. He fire several fireballs from his hands. I used my super jetpack and fly pass them. Using the jetpack at high speeds, I delivered a powerful punch that sent him flying. His body was flung and went through McDonalds, the shoe store, Taco Bell, Auto Zone and landed in Big Lots parking lot.

I fly to his location and landed down. He got back up and attacking me with his lightning fast punches. I block all of his attacks and counterattack with a roundhouse. He got hit by it and he growl in response. He slam his hands into the grounds. Soon the entire parting lot itself was covered in lava. I quickly flew to the sky before the lava touch my feet. Looking down at my foe, I fired my cannons. The Inferno wave his hands over his head and direct the lava over him. It melted balls from my weapon. He then raise his hands into the air and did a grabbing motion. Out of the lava came two giant lava hands of came and reach at to grab me. I flew higher into air.

Soon The Inferno teleported near me and attack with his flaming poolnoodle. I used my toy lightsaber to block his attacks and clash weapons. We smash our weapons to each other till I saw an opening. I threw a fist into his face. With him dazed, I flew at high speeds and did a dropkick on him. I watch him fall down to the ground.


The Inferno crashed into the fountain near main street. The high heat from his body started to cause the fountain water to boil. I landed down near him. He quickly teleported to an unknown location. I look around to find him, till I felt a fist punch the side of my face. The impact cause me to be thrown through the city's other McDonald's and crashed near the flea market.

I try to get up while a message came on the armor's sensors. According to the sensors, the time on this armor is about to run out, I should finish this now but right now, I'm on the losing side. The Inferno teleported in front of me. I threw a fist but he caught with his hand. He threw my other fist but he caught it too. He sent flames down though his arms and into my hands. The armor protect me from the flames but I can feel the heat coming from him and it's started to get through my armor. "Farewell. You will die, the rest of the Heroes will die as well, and Arkansas will be rebuilt in my image."

I didn't want that to happen, so I rammed my knee upwards into his chin. The pain from the impact cause him to let go of my hands. I grabbed his shoulders and headbutt him. With him dazed, I pulled out my toy lightsaber and use my super jetpack. I high speeds I rammed my weapon into his heart and impale his body to the nearby bank. He spit out fire-colored blood and said in a weak tone, "The missile should be ready to fire, even if I'm dead, I will still win. Hahahaha!" After that laugh, the ancient Baddie died.


I looked up and saw the missile in the air, heading southeast, toward Little Rock. According to the armor's sensors, I only have 30 seconds left to use the super armor. I combined all the armor's weapons together and formed a super laser cannon. All I have is one shot, I aimed my weapon and hope everything works. I fire the laser went high into the air. Soon a big explosion was made in the sky, the laser destroyed Glowing Tennis Ball-powered weapon. After the explosion died down, the armor around my body disassemble and reassemble into a tennis ball covered in mithril strings.


We have won and defeated the Baddies again. The city of Little Rock was saved. We were sad on the deaths of Girl and Old Dude. They were given a burial. The new Glowing Tennis Ball was retrieved from the wreckage of the missile. The people who saw the explosion thought it was a big firework. All the damage that happen to the Base and Jacksonville was repaired overnight like nothing happen. According to the others, no signs of Villain or Traitor was spotted and Slicer saw Robot retreat, meaning the Baddies are still out there, but we be ready when they come back.

Me and all the others started celebrating our victory by getting on a cruise ship and travel down the Arkansas River at Little Rock. The Former Secret Agent's son walk up to me and said, "Hey, let's celebrated by bringing my girlfriend here and make out on top of you." I was disgusted by his option and said, "This again!? You implied this the last time we defeated the Baddies. Forget it. If you do this to me, I tell your girlfriend about that blond I saw you with at the High School." The boy quickly shut up and walked away.

After hearing the entire story, I said, "Wow, what a story! We never knew about where Glowing Tennis Balls came from or any of the previous generations of Heroes. We all thought the war started back in a few years back but Captain died before he told us all of this. It was very recently we started hearing about The Inferno."

The Old Dude raise an eyebrow, "The Inferno? He must of found a way to reach the surface after all these years. I bet that fella must be plotting to repeat his plan by using a Glowing Tennis Ball to power up a weapon like he did the last time. I believe that Captain must be a descendant of the 1st generation of Heroes, he must of had a Glowing Tennis Ball with him." I answered to him, "I'm sorry, but the ball was destroyed a few years ago to stop a Baddie named Villain. For some reason, the remainder of the ball put something in this kid's brain to see dreams of a 2nd ball that's located somewhere in Jacksonville."

Old Dude stroke his beard and said, "You know, I witness one of the remaining Knights, burying one of the Glowing Tennis Balls. If I remember correctly, it should be inside the Air Force Base." The Former Secret Agency guy said, "I did do have clearance that can could get us into the Air Force Base." Old Dude replied, "That's good, we can enter the base with no problems. Anyways, I know a shortcut to enter Jacksonville."

He got up and tilted a book on one of the bookshelves. This causes the bookcase to slide and reveal a passageway. We entered it and on the other side led to a different closed-off room with books. We open a door that takes us out of the room and we found out that we're in the Jacksonville Library. I turn to Old Dude and asked, "How did we get here?" He answered, "We ancients know secret tricks that you youngsters don't know about."


Within the next few minutes, Old Dude took us to his car that's in this library's parking lot. I radio to my teammates that we're going to the Air Force Base and they should meet up with us. They told me that they disable the brainwashing devise they found at a radio tower. All the people in Lonoke County will be back to normal with no memories of ever being brainwashed.


After an quarter of an hour of driving, we were inside the base. Old Dude parked his car near a baseball field and pointed. "From what I remember, the ball is located somewhere in this baseball field." We got out of the car and grab some shovels from the trunk. I asked, "So where exactly are we going to dig? It's a large field and we be digging all day."

The son of the former secret agent was rubbing his head in pain and said, "Wait...Ow...I think I know where exactly it is." He walk to a certain area and pointed to the ground, "It's over there." Old Dude said, "Well your dreams and headaches should disappear once we find the ball, unless your having an actual headache. I don't have any aspirin on me."

We started digging and after a few minutes, we finally found the Glowing Tennis Ball. Our search was over. Soon a loud beep went off on my watch. I press a button on my timepiece and it said, "It's Girl. We're at the place where they display the airplanes. Those stupid Baddies jerks are here." I now heard Slicer's voice, "Yea guys, we need seriously help over here."

Me and the others got back in the car and drove to where the airplane displays are. When we got there, we see them hiding behind a plane to cover them from Baddie fire. We join them and started counterattacking. Just then, a large shadow appeared over our heads. We look up and saw an man hovering in the air. He looked like he was in his 50s in some sort of armor that looked burnt. This must be the ancient Baddie himself, The Inferno.

He open his hand towards us. The next thing I knew is the Glowing Tennis Ball was being pulled from my hand and went to his hand. He flew to a missile head display in the center of of the display area. He press the ball into the missile head and ball fazed through the missile's outer edge. The thing started to emulate a bright glow.

I said to the evil man, "But it's not a full missile that's not operational. It won't work." He turned to me and said, "You fool! The ball will reconstruct the missile head itself into a fully operational missile. When the missile be complete, it will fire. The missile's destination is Little Rock. Once the missile powered by the Glowing Tennis Ball hits, the entire city will be destroyed. In the wastelands that was once Little Rock, I will erect a giant volcano in it's place and it will be used as our mighty fortress as we rule all of Arkansas. The Ozarks and Ouachita mountains be replace by volcanoes, the Mississippi River will be replace by a lava stream. Everyone will submit to our rule."

The Inferno's hand started to glow in some sort of energy, "Now away with you!" He flung his hand and an energy wave shoot outwards to the Heroes. Once the wave went through them, they disappear. The ancient evil turn to the others and said, "That was a teleportation wave I sent out, those Heroes got sent somewhere within a 2 mile radius. Find them and kill them all!" All the Baddies saluted and head out



I open my eyes after being hit by the teleportation wave, I got to my feet and look at my surroundings. It seems I'm near the fence that has North Pulaski High School on the other side. I notice the Sophomore kid was nearby. As he was getting up on his feet, I tell him, "Stay out of sight, I need to get to the missile before it fires or all of Little Rock is gone."



Meanwhile, Girl open her eyes and look around, turns out she was at the BX parking lot. She got up on her feet and started running towards the missile. She stop and saw Robot running down the main road. She pulled out her dodgeballs and shouted, "Hold it there Baddie!" He turn to her direction and said in a robotic tone, "Pet Chameleon will take care of you. I will continue search and terminating other Heroes." He continued running down the street. Girl shouted, "Hey, come back here. I'm not thro...ahhh!" She just then felt a claw slashed on her back.

She rolled away and turn to who attack her but didn't see anything in front of here. "It's that same animal that got inside the base." She threw a smoke bomb into the ground and shoot out a smoke. The animal gave a cry and jump out the smokescreen with it's camouflage turn off.

The Chameleon fire it's long tongue and it wrapped around her ankle. He dragged her off the ground and heading straight into his mouth. Girl quickly grab her butter knife and cut off his tongue. The animal pull back the rest of his tongue and gave off a mean roar. He ran to her and swipe his claws at her. Girl duck to avoid it. The creature continue slashing at the Hero but she kept dodging every attack. She then deliver a kick into the Chameleon face. Giving no time for him to recover, Girl repeatedly punch the creature's face. After the beating, the Chameleon try to catch is breath. Seeing his mouth was open, Girl pulled out a Nerf bomb shove into his mouth. She pulled away from the animal and watch as he exploded.

She smile on her victory. She turn to where the missile was but soon as she turns, she saw Villain standing right next to her. "I'm surprised you survived Robot's favorite pet, but you won't survive this." Girl quickly slash her butter knife into Villain's heart but he grab her wrist that's holding the knife and he break her wrist. She scream in pain as Villain swung his fist at her. She fell back to the ground. Despite the pain, she move to get up but the last thing she saw was Villain firing his Nerf cannon at point blank range.



At the Commissary parking lot, Medic stand up and started running to the missile. Out of nowhere, several dodgeballs fell in his feet. He look up and see Traitor hovering the air with his jetpack. "Unlike last time, you don't have help nor heat-seeking Nerf missiles. There is no way you will win."

The commander of the jetpack division threw several more dodgeballs at Medic. The healer quickly press a button on his watch and it activated a force field around his body. The dodgeballs bounce off of the force field. Traitor gritted his teeth. Soon as he notice Medic's force field was shutting down, he deliver a drop kick. This causes to the healer to stumble. Giving him no time to recover, Traitor gave Medic a few punches. "Ha ha ha! This is fun! Ha ha ha!" Hearing those words cause Medic to snap and threw a mean right hook into Traitor's face. "Fun!? You call killing Heroes and destroying Little Rock is fun!?"

Traitor wiped the blood from his mouth. He gritted his teeth and flew back in the air. Medic didn't want to be attacked from the air again, so he pulled out a giant magnet. Traitor was unable to fly away, instead he was being pulled towards Medic. He figure quit fighting against the magnet and give the healer exactly what he wants. The jetpack commander turn towards Medic and fly at high speeds. The Baddie rammed into the Hero and causes him to fall back and drop his magnet.

Released from the magnet's grip, Traitor fly high into the air. He looked down at Medic and prepare to kill him with a dodgeball. He said, "Any last words?" Medic gave a big smirk and told him, "Yeah, when you rammed into me, I slapped a Nerf bomb on your jetpack." Traitor look puzzled and said, "Say wha..." Just then, an explosion hit his jetpack and made Traitor spin out of control. Medic watch the jetpack commander scream like a girl and crash into several trees in the distance.



Slicer woke up and discovered he was at the park near the lake. He use his roller stakes to roll to the missile. Suddenly, a jar of jam crash in front of him. This causes Slicer to slip and fall. "Ah scrap, my skates aren't going to work with them cover in jam." He took off his skates and turn to the direction of who threw it. The man before him is Robot. "Your destination ends. Your termination begins."

Robot threw several paper airplanes with Nerf guns attached to them. Slicer rolled out of the way to avoid their fire. He pulled out his Nerf guns and shot them down. Slicer got up to his feet and said, "Now where did that weird man go?" He didn't notice that the Baddie has silently has gotten behind his back. Six metal tentacles sprouted out of Robot's jetpack. Slicer notice a sound behind him and soon as he turned, he was smack by the tentacles. This sends the Hero to fly back a few feet.

Slicer got up and saw Robot's tentacles coming at him. He blocks any tentacles that lashed at him. "Ok, enough of this!" He used his Wolverine-like claws and slash through the tentacles. Soon, all six of the tentacles were cut in half. Robot gave Slicer a blank look and retracted the tentacles back into his jetpack.

The Baddie switch to a different plan and ran to his opponent. He pulled out a guitar and swing a full force. Slicer use his claws to block the attack. The impact knock him off his feet and brake his claws into pieces. The Hero got up and saw the Baddie heading straight for him. Slicer grab a piece of dirt and threw it into Robot's eyes. The Baddie shield his eyes from the dirt. Using the brief opportunity, Slicer grab on to his enemy's guitar and yank it from his hands. Robot gave another blank look at Slicer but the Hero could tell he sort of narrow his eyes.

The Baddie pulled out an another guitar and swing at the Hero. The two clash their instruments a few times. Slicer took one big swing and broke through Robot's guitar and into his chest. He was throw off and hit a nearby tree. He grab where the guitar hit him and said, "Mission Failure." Slicer figure it was time to  finish it and charge towards his foe. Suddenly, a Giant Pterodactyl landed near Robot. It grabbed the Baddie and flew away.

Slicer sighed, "Oh great, now there's a Baddie on the lose." With Robot out of way, Slicer ran out of the park and started running down the street to get where the missile is. On the way, he saw a giant monster in the distance. "Oh great! Whoever's there needs seriously help right now."



Gunner discovered he was in the base's golf area and started running to where The Inferno is located. He stop when he saw a group of former construction workers coming to him. The Hero said to them as he crack his knuckles, "Ah take y'all on!" One with a wrench swing at Gunner but the man with the deep accent, dodge the attack. He than grab the worker's arm and broke it. The worker scream in pain from his injury.

Two construction workers charge at him, one had a hammer, while the other has screwdriver. Gunner press a button on his watch and a some sort of coating wrapped around his body. The hammer man came and pound his hammer into the Hero...only it bounce back. Gunner waste no time on the confused worker and did an uppercut on him. The Screwdriver man came to the southern man and jab his weapon. Gunner ducked and grabbed the man by the torso and lift him into the air. He flung him over his head.

The injured construction workers retreated and went back to the other workers. They seem to be saying stuff like Plan B or something.

The former construction workers joined hands. Their flesh all of suddenly was ripping apart and realigning with each others. It was like they somehow fusing together. When it was finished, the construction workers became one being, they became…a giant Cyclops.

Gunner stare in horror as the giant cast a long shadow over him. "Times like these, Ah wish the Cavemen were here to help."  The Cyclops gave off a loud roar.

Heroes vs Baddies: The Inferno's Wrath Chapter 3

View Chapter 2

Two hours pass since their battle with Chris. Villain was standing with Robot nearby a radio tower in Austin. The Baddie Leader growl and said, "Those accursed Heroes took away that kid to their hidden base. I was seconds away of having his brain in my hands. Robot, I need your report of getting inside their base." The man who thinks he's a machine replied in a robotic tone, "Operation: 2nd Infiltration: Impossible. Heroes have refortify their defenses since pet Chameleon's infiltration. They are more prepared if a 2nd infiltration happen."

Villain frown on hearing about it. "So much for that then." He look up to the radio tower and said to Robot, "New plans than. The Heroes will get out their base at some point. I want you to brainwash all the citizens of Lonoke County. They can help us on our journey to claim the Glowing Tennis Ball. Their job is to find and hunt down those poor Heroes and capture the boy. Too bad for them, they can't hurt any of these innocents." Robot saluted over his chest and said, "By your command!"

Robot climbed the tower and started to plug wires into it. Soon a frequency was sent out across the county. Anyone who had their radios turned on, will be brainwashed to capture the Heroes.


I opened my eyes and saw I was inside our base's medical room. I saw Medic walk by the door and notice I was awake. He said, "Ah good, your awake. You been asleep for two hours since your battle. Soon as we found you, We quickly took you back to base. Your lucky that you survived, there was no damage to any major organ. I quickly got your wound patched up."

I moved to sit up and asked, "Is that Sophomore boy here? I need to talk to him." Medic answered, "Yes, he is here and he's really a Senior Chris." I answered back, "I don't care what his official grade is, I still see him as a Sophomore."

After a few minutes, the boy came to my room. He looked worried, "Are you ok?" I told him, "I'm a little sore but I be alright. Medic told me I can get out of bed in five minutes." I notice Slicer and Girl are also at the door, waiting for me to finish talking to the boy. "Anyways, despite a few setbacks. Were still going to your house and visit your Dad." I turn to the two others.

Slicer smiled and waved, "Hey Chris, glad your up and kicking. However, we got bad news. The Baddies have taken over the radio stations and brainwashing everyone on the streets." Girl said, "Well it's a good thing I install those frequency jammers in the base a few weeks ago. Otherwise we be brainwash as well."

I sighed and said, "Ah great, now our journey to his father's place is going to be harder to get to."


Later at nighttime in Cabot, me and the kid dressed up in like ninjas and sneak around houses. We kept a lookout for anyone that were brainwashed. These controlled innocent have eyes with a red glow to them. As we were a few houses away from the boy's house, we saw a man with a flashlight and a dog on the lookout. I reach into my pouch and pulled out a piece of steak. I threw the food into the distance. I shoot hands signals to the boy to move out. We went around the house and peeked. The dog was now dragging the flashlight man to where I threw the steak. With the coast clear, I signal the boy to follow me and we head towards his house.

At the back door, I pulled out a credit card and pick the lock. The boy asked, "You know I live here? I could unlock the door with my keys." I said back, "But it looks cooler this way." We enter inside the house and shut the back door. I asked the boy, "I haven't asked but, how's your dad doing?" He answered, "Well few months after that big battle with the Baddies three years ago, my Dad retire from the Secret Agency." Wondering if his father will still be able to help, I asked, "He still has contacts or access to files correct?" The boy replied, "I believe so."

Just then, the lights came on and a man armed with a Nerf Shotgun walk to us. He lowered it soon as he saw the boy. It was the former secret agency dad. He asked, "So what are you doing here?" I replied to the him, "The Baddies been on the move and your son got himself involved." He asked, "Are they the ones that been making the weird radio broadcast?" I asked him back, "Then how are you not brainwashed like the others?" He said, "Easy, I wear special earplugs. I been working in the agency for years and everyone wears them to prevent our group from getting controlled by enemy forces."


For the next few minutes, we went to the living room and sat down. I told him everything that's been happening, like Villain's revival, his son's dreams, and this mysterious Inferno guy that existed before Villain did. After hearing the news, the Former Secret Agency Father look like a light bulb with above his head and said, "I may actuality heard of this Inferno. Follow me."

He led us to his basement. He pulled out his file cabinet and dig through the files. He pulled out a folder and showed it to us. "From the time we found the unconscious body of Villain and the original Glowing Tennis Ball, we had little to no information of this war. After finding out about the war from you guys, we close the case. However in our case, we did a list of suspects who may of been connected." He pulled out a picture out of the folder and it show a face of an Old Dude.

"We asked him several questions if he knew anything related to the Giant Winged Demon that eyewitnesses  have reported on the same day we found Villain's body and the Glowing Tennis Ball. One of the reasons he was a suspect because he wrote a picture book of these knights fighting a giant demon with wings. The author claimed that he didn't based this story on some insane rumor of some demon attacking the high school. I remember one part of the story said how one of the knights became The Inferno."

Seeing how we got a lead, I asked him, "So where is this guy normally seen?" He answered, "The Cabot library." We had to wait to the next day for the library to open. The boy's dad said I can stay in the guest room tonight.


When tomorrow came, we drove to the library. We sat in the car for a while till we saw a man getting out of his car. It was the Old Dude. We got out of the car and ran to him. He was puzzled that these strangers were coming up to him. "Hey, what do you young fellas want with me?" He saw the former secret agent and sigh, "You again. I already told you that I was never involved in whatever happen at the High School that day."

I said, "Maybe not, but you seem to know who the Inferno is." He look at me strangely and asked, "Who are you?" I tell him, "I'm Chris and I'm part of the Heroes. There is an evil group of people called the Baddies that are after this kid behind me. They seem to be serving this guy called the Inferno." After hearing everything I told him, he said, "Very well then, follow me."

He led us to a closed off room inside the library. He pulled out a book off the shelf and said, "There is much you need to learn of the evil man know as The Inferno." He open his open and start telling


Long ago in ancient times. A giant demon with wings roamed the land that is now known as Arkansas. Nothing could stop this evil beast, but there was a small group of people who can. They were the Golden Knights. They were all Captains and each one wielded a Glowing Tennis Ball. One of the most bravest and most skilled of the Golden Knights was a man called Captain Villainous.

They morph their Glowing Tennis Balls into powerful hand held weapons. They used them to attack the giant demon. Captain Villainous was about to do the killing blow but the demon whisper to Captain Villainous. He told him to spar his life and become his servant and he will become a god among the land.

The Knight spar the demon and started killing members of the Golden Knights. He took a Glowing Tennis Ball from the 1st Knight he killed. The Golden Knights fought back and force the demon and the betrayer to retreat from the battle. The remaining Knights were surprised that a man like Captain Villainous would ever betray him. The demon went back to the depths of the underworld while the betrayer went to hiding. 

The remaining Knights kept a lookout for the betrayer but was no where to be seen. Centuries have pass and men from beyond the ocean have settled. During a war where the descendants of the settlers want to gain independence from a country beyond the ocean. Captain Villainous was seen again and he has form an army he calls, The Baddies.

The Settlers who wanted independence have secretly plan to create a Supercannon to help quickly end the war. Soon as their 1st prototype was made, Captain Villainous and the Baddies attack the people making the cannon. The betrayer took the Supercannon for himself. He used the Glowing Tennis Ball from the 1st Knight he killed and used it to power up the Supercannon. He was unable to use his personal Tennis Ball due to his dark nature corrupted the ball. Instead of a glowing yellow ball, it is black with a glow of dark purple.

Powered by the Glowing Tennis Ball, the Supercannon can easily have the power to vaporize an entire city or destroy an entire mountain in one shot. He planned to destroy both the sides of the war and replace their colonies with an new empire ruled by him.

The remaining Golden Knights didn't want this to happen, so formed their own army to counterattack the Baddies, they were call, The Heroes. A big battle was raged and many losses were made. The Heroes manage to defeat their enemies. The Golden Knights destroy the Supercannon. The defeated Villainous was put in chains and the Knights threw him into a volcano.

In the volcano, with lava and fire coming to him. His corrupted ball exploded, this somehow causes the man to become one with the fire itself. He was no longer called Captain Villainous, he is now...The Inferno. Sealed deep underground, he was unable to get to the surface. Arkansas was at peace, well at lease till the civil war.


As Old Dude closes his book, he said, "I was part of the 1st generation of Heroes. I retired after the war ended. I never kept up with the news of any of the later generations of Heroes and Baddies. The giant demon may of been the same guy that attack the High School a few years ago that you young fellas talk about."

Heroes vs Baddies: The Inferno's Wrath Chapter 2

View Chapter 1

The next day during the afternoon, I went to Cabot High School's parking lot. In a few more minutes, the last bell for the day will ring. I found the Sophomore boy's car and open the passenger door. Seems like he doesn't care if the door is lock or not. I went inside and close the door to wait for him. According to my friends, the Sophomore boy was held back a year and he will graduate school this year. I don't care if he's a Senior, I still see him as a Sophomore regardless what grade he's in. According to Myspace, him and his girlfriend are still together. She was never held back and currently in collage right now.

Soon, I heard the bell rang and students heading to their cars or school buses. I saw the Sophomore heading to his car with a blond in his arms. He stopped and give her a big kiss. He leaves and wave bye to her as he heads to his car, not noticing I'm in it. As he enter the car and sat down, I said, "Hello." The Sophomore jumped and look at me wide-eyed. He said, "Wha What are you doing here?" I asked him, "So does your girlfriend know about this blond your seeing?" He looked guilty and quickly went in a begging position. "Please don't tell her about this."

"So I heard you been going to the Doctor's office and talking about these dreams. Can you tell me about them?" The High Schooler said, "Sure I will. Well every few months, I been having dreams of Jacksonville but nothing major in those dreams. It look like your typical dream you usually have. Last year, the dreams became once a month and I keep saying I need to find the tennisball. Nowadays the dreams are now once a week and I'm searching the streets the Jacksonville for the Glowing Tennis Ball before the Baddies get to it. I thought I was done with this war."

I had a theory on what happen and I told the boy, "Shortly after Villain was defeated 3 years ago. I asked you to hold on the remainder of the Glowing Tennis Ball while me and the other Heroes were getting all the dead bodies of the Baddies and plan to dump their bodies in the Arkansas River. You held on those strings for several hours. I guessing after a certain point in time after it's destruction, the strings must of put something in your brain. I'm guessing it's trying to tell you a location of a different Glowing Tennis Ball that's somewhere in Jacksonville."

He sighed that he was still in involved with our war. I'm a little angry and tell him, "Well thanks to you, you have tell other people about your dreams. Word is getting around to the Baddies. You made yourself a target again and they will go after you again to find the 2nd tennisball." I calm down and said, "How about you drive me you to your father. I wonder if he ever heard of this Inferno guy I been hearing about?"

The Sophomore started to speak, "Well Chris, I can take you home but there's something you should know. I'm giving a ride to my fri..." Soon the back door open and a guy hopped in the backseat. "Hey bro, you haven't forgot about me have you? Whose your new friend?" The Sophomore boy said, "Chris, this is Raph. We live on the same street together."

Raph started talking, "Hey man, I run a site about conspiracies in Cabot like sightings a giant demon attack the High School five years ago or a hidden subway under the city or...." For the next few minutes, this guy won't shut up about these conspiracies. He was annoying like crazy. I grabbed my Nerf gun and shot him in the head. I watch as his head fell back and close his eyes.

The Sophomore's jaw dropped open and shouted, "YOU KILL HIM!" I said back, "Relax will you, my gun was set to stun." In the next few minutes, I took Raph out of the car and dump his body into a nearby pickup truck. After I was done with him, I told the boy to take me to his house.


We were halfway on the way to his house when suddenly, a big man jump out in front of us and slam his fist down on the hood of the car. It cause the back part the car to bounce up for a second and cause the car to stop. I asked the attacker, "Your another Baddie, aren't ya?" The man replied, "My name is Weapons, I'm the younger brother of the man named Ammo. He died 3 years ago from fighting you Hero scum. I will avenge my brother's death."

I step out the car, when out of nowhere, Traitor came and ripped open the driver door. He quickly grabbed the boy and activated his jetpack. He flew off in the distance with the boy in his grasp. Weapons look at me and said, "Another time." He flew off and follow the other Baddies.

I press a button on my watch and said, "EMERGENCY! The Baddies have capture the boy. I try to follow them. I need backup!" After I turn off the watch's radio. I got back inside the boy's car and turn it on. Soon as the car was started, I follow the Baddies flying in the air.


Somewhere in Austin, near an old abandoned house, Weapons and Traitor land down on the ground. The Jetpack commander told the boy. "Get inside you puny brat! Someone wants to see you." Traitor pointed a Nerf gun against the boy's back and force him to go inside the house. Inside, the boy saw a chair in the middle of the room with straps around the arms. Traitor ram the gun into the boy's back and force him to sit down and get strapped.

Shortly after, Villain appeared. The boy said, "Your alive...But how?" The Baddie replied, "My troops steal the Glowing strings and use it to revive me. Too bad that we lost the ball. However, I have heard there is another and it's information is in your brain. I will rip it out and we will study it to learn the location of the 2nd Glowing Tennis Ball."

Villain march to the boy and place his hands on his forehead and was getting ready to rip his head open with his bare hands.

"HOLD IT!" The Baddies turn to the door and see me standing there. Villain gave off a growl and said, "It's that pitiful Hero that keeps stopping my plans."

I threw several dodgeballs at Villain and he rolled out of the way. Quickly, I pulled out my toy lightsaber and slice off the boy's constrains. I said, "Hurry and get out of here!" No need to tell him twice, he got up and ran. Soon, Traitor flew straight at me and ram me. I was knocked off my feet and flung out of the house's doorway.

Soon as I got up on my feet, I saw Weapons pulling out two large Nerf Gatling Guns from his giant backpack and fire. I quickly turn around and ran into deep into the woods to avoid his bullets. Villain got out of the abandoned house and use his jetpack to fly by the trees I passed. He landed right in front of me and threw a punch at my face. I duck just in time and saw his fist went through a tree. Seeing an opening, I did an uppercut and a mean right hook.

Villain was dazed from my punches, when I just then heard footsteps. I turn and saw Traitor doing a jump on me. I deliver a kick into his face which knocks him back and fell into a tree. The next thing I saw was Weapons swinging something at me, I bend my head back to dodge. It seems what's in his hand is two Darth Maul toy lightsabers melded together in a X-shape. I use my toy lightsaber the block the next set of his attacks. Soon I saw an window of opportunity and jabbed my sword through his wrist and made him dropped his lightsabers.

I turn to the other two and saw Villain coming. He threw right hook but I lean back to avoid it. However, I was too slow to avoid Villain's roundhouse kick to my face. The force of his kick throw me back and fell into a tree. As I was getting back up, I saw Villain and Traitor coming. The Baddie leader throw another fist at me but I block it. Next I did is slam my foot down hard on his toes. He screamed in pain.

I ripped off a piece of his armor and threw it into Traitor's face. While he was rubbing his face from the pain, Villain recovered from the foot pain and did another roundhouse. I rolled out of the way and went behind Traitor's back. There, I grabbed his left arm and broke it's bones. I lift Traitor up and threw him into Villain.

"DIE!" I turned to the sound and saw Weapons firing a Nerf rocket from his one good hand. I jumped out of the way before the rocket hit. Quickly, I grabbed my toy lightsaber and ran up on a nearby tree. I ran up a few steps and jump off the tree. I turn my body 180 degrees and as I was falling back down to Weapons' location, I swing my toy lightsaber downward on his body. He was now sliced into two halves.

The next thing that happen was, I felt a blow that went through my body. Wondering what happen, I look down at myself and saw a toy lightsaber with blood on it, piercing through me from behind. The sword was pulled back out and I was feeling weak. I fell to the ground with my back to the dirt. I look up and see Villain standing there with a blood-soaked toy lightsaber in his hand. He gave a big smile and prepare to fire his Nerf cannon at my head.

Suddenly, a dodgeball went near his face. Several more came from the direction where the first one came. I heard Villain saying, "The other Heroes are here. Let's retreat Traitor." I saw him ran off beyond my eyesight. I last thing I saw was some of my friends looking about looking surprised and sad at me. I close my eyes afterward.

Heroes vs Baddies: The Inferno's Wrath Chapter 1

Here's the next part of the Heroes vs Baddies Saga. I wrote the 1st draft of this story a few years ago and now ready to be posted on this blog. Yes, it's based/parody of a certain movie. Well enjoy the story.


It's been two years since Villain's second defeat at Cabot High School. The powers from the Glowing Tennis Ball put Villain in a state of suspended animation but it came with a price, all that remains of the Glowing Tennis Ball is a few strings. Villain's 2nd in command, Traitor is on the run and still out there somewhere in Arkansas. We haven't heard anything about Villain's group called the Baddies since their leader was defeated. However they showed up today.


There have been reports that twenty skunks been stinking up the Asian restaurant across from Pizza Hut. I'm at Jacksonville at the moment it will take me a while to reach Cabot. I sent two Heroes who were inside the city of Cabot to check the restaurant. One is Girl, she was our only female teammate who joined the Heroes in during the early days of the war. For some reason, we were unable to get more females in the Heroes. The other is Slicer, a man who rollerskates into battle. Slicer is equipped with gauntlets that has three small toy lightsabers on each of the gauntlet's knuckles. Slicer thinks he's Wolverine or something.

When they to the area, they saw a mean looking cop releasing skunks out of their cages. Slicer was in shock who their foe was, "I don't believe it, it's Evil Cop. I thought Chris defeated him in the locker room a few years ago." Girl answered, "I think that's a different Evil Cop."

The different Evil Cop turn his head and saw the two Heroes. He pull out some dodgeballs and threw them at the two. Girl ducked while Slicer rollerstake around them. He charged to the enforcer of the law and slash at him while Evil Cop pulled out his nightstick to block Slicer's attack. They clash their weapons till the Baddie stomp his foot down on  the Hero's feet. With his guard down, Evil Cop repeatedly smack him with his weapon. Slicer raise his arms over his face to block the attack. Evil Cop was about to continue his onslaught till a flying dodgeball almost hit his head. He turn and saw Girl pulling out more dodgeballs to throw.

Evil Cop ran to avoid her attack and went behind the restaurant. Girl ran to the building and start climbing on it's walls. On the roof, she ran across and look down on the backside of the restaurant. She saw Evil Cop with a dodgeball in hand and looking at both corners, awaiting for her to show up. Luckily for her, he didn't bother to look above. Girl jump off the building and perform a dropkick on the enforcer of the law.

Girl pull out a butter knife and start slashing at the Baddie. The evil enforcer dodge her attack while pulling out a taser. He jabbed it into her stomach and electrocute her. The attack made her fell to her knees while Evil Cop grab a dodgeball and plan to kill her with it when suddenly, he heard, "Heads ups!" Evil Cop turn his head and saw Slicer doing an uppercut on him. Slicer cut across Evil Cop vertically, cutting the man into two separate halves.

Girl started to get up on her feet."That hurts, glad he's gone now." Slicer replied to her, "We need to get rid of the skunks and..." The two heard a ringing that came from their watches. Slicer press a button and heard, "This is Medic. A One Legged Minotaur is on the highway and heading towards the overpass. Chris is on his way."


I was inside the back of the airplane, returning from my visit in Jacksonville. One of the plane's crewman told me I'm at the drop point. I grabbed my gear as the cargo doors opened. There I jumped out of the plane. As I was halfway down to the ground, I pull out my parachute.

As I land down on the overpass, I saw Girl and Slicer meeting up with me. As the 20-foot tall One Legged Minotaur jump on it's single leg. As he was gettin closer and closer to us, we pulled out our weapons. I jabbed it's left shoulder with a toy lightsaber while Girl repeatably stabs his ribcage with her butter knife and Slicer slashes it's leg with his claws. In a few seconds, the Minotaur fell over. Slicer yell, "WHAT THE HECK! I thought this be a huge epic battle and he gets defeated it seconds. Man this sucks!"

We walked to the Minotaur who barely has the strength to get up. He said, "You may of stopped me but we will reawaken Villain again. The ancient leader of the Baddies, The Inferno will scorched all of you to ashes and..." A dodgeball slammed into his head and killed him. I turn to who threw it and said angrily, "Thanks alot Girl, just when was telling us about this Inferno guy is. Now we won't know." I shot a mean glare at her.

I sighed and said, "Come on, let's get back to base." As we left the bridge and walked down Main Street. Little did we know that we were being followed.

The man whose following us is a Baddie who thinks he is a machine known as Robot. He touch a button on his watch and said, "Robot to Traitor. Operation: String Thief will began." Traitor said, "Good, continue the mission."  Robot turn off his watch and sent out his 6 foot tall pet Chameleon on the Heroes.


We head back to our hidden base which is location in a closed down building near Main Street. We were greeted by Medic, Gunner, and some former ROTC students. The last ones who greet us were two rapper wannabes and try to make some dumb rap about our victory. I quickly pull out an extra pair of socks out of my pocket and slam it into their mouths to stop them from singing.

I asked Medic and Gunner, "Have you guys ever heard of The Inferno? The One-Legged Minotaur called him an ancient leader of the Baddies, I thought Villain was the 1st one, shortly after the Evil Elf King was believed to be dead." Medic answered, "I have never heard of this Inferno guy but I have found my deceased cousin's diary a few weeks ago.  The last few entries before he pass away, he mentions about the war. One surprising entry about my cousin, Doctor has heard Captain babbled on about something about battling Baddies that were around before Villain. Gunner looked puzzled and said, "Y'all got to be kiddin me. Other leaders before Villain, that sounds..."

Just then, a loud alarm echoed throughout the base. I looked the others and shouted, "SOMEONE STEALING THE STRINGS!"

We rush to another room where we kept the remaining strings of the Glowing Tennis Ball in a glass case. When we got there, we see nothing in the room but a broken case. Medic pulled out some 3D glasses out of his pocket and put them on. "I see a giant Chameleon in the room, it must be in camouflage mode." The healer pulled out a Nerf gun but the animal quickly shoot out it's long tongue and grabbed the gun before Medic could fire. The Chameleon pull the gun into it's mouth and ate it.

With no weapon, Medic figure he just grab the animal instead. Unfortunately, the Chameleon was too fast for and the animal left the area with the strings in his claws.

Medic was feeling sad that he was unable to capture the beast. As he was putting up the 3D glasses, Medic said, "This is terrible, that was the only remains of the Glowing Tennis Ball." Gunner look like he got an idea and said, "Hey I just remember something. Remember that Sophomore boy that we watch over three years ago? Well I heard he's been having weird dreams about a tennis ball hidden in Jacksonville." I looked at Gunner and said, "You mean there's more than one?"


At the North Little Rock side of the Arkansas River. The Chameleon meets up with several former construction workers, who were in the middle of putting on scuba gear. The giant animal held up it's claws and showed the Glowing Tennis Ball Strings. One of the construction workers take them from the creature's claws. One of the workers said, "From what I heard, Villain's body is on the bottom of this river."

They dived to the bottom of the river and found their leader's body. The one construction worker with the strings in his hand shove them into Villain's mouth. Just then, flashes of lights erupted from Villain's body. The leader of the Baddies open his eyes and said, "I LIVV...." He stop because he realize he's underwater. Villain quickly activated his jetpack and flew out of the water.


Later that day, Villain entered the abandon Wal-Mart in Jacksonville. There he met with Traitor. "Oh our great leader is here and..." The Baddie leader grabbed Traitor's neck and ram his body into the wall. Villain said, "Why has it been three years I put in that sleeping state? You should of revived me right away. I bet that you enjoy being the leader while I was out of commission and the Evil Elf King's curse he put on you was gone."

Traitor responded weakly, "Even If I did want to revived you right away, I didn't know how exactly. I was told earlier last month to use the Glowing Tennis Strings. As soon we discovered the location of the Heroes base, we quickly sent out Robot's pet giant Chameleon to steal the strings and use it to revive you." Villain let go of Traitor's neck and asked, "And why is it hot in here? Is the air conditioner busted or something?" Traitor answered, "No, it's our new leader. His body puts out a high temp around the area. He's the one who told me to use the strings on you. There is no way I could challenge him, he's too powerful." Villain looked at him weirdly and asked, "What you mean leader? I'm the leader."

"You may be the leader of the group but above all Baddies, I'm the true master."

Villain turn to who said that and his eyes widen. He saw a man who look like he was in his 50s with eyes that had a fiery red glow to them. Villain said in a surprised tone, "I don't believe it. The stories are true. The 1st Baddie that ever existed...The Inferno." The Baddie leader suddenly bow down to the new leader.

The powerful man said, "Rise!" Hearing this cause Villain to get to his feet. Traitor wispier to the new sub-leader of the Baddies, "So what's the story on this guy? I thought our army was formed by you?" Villain answer, "No, I based our group on a previous incarnation of Baddies who wanted to conquer Cabot High School and than all of Arkansas from several decades ago. Sadly, they were defeated by Heroes. I bet that fool, Captain based his group of Heroes on the previous generation as well. You see Traitor, there were several different armies throughout history that wanted to invade the entire state. The one who inspired and started the very first group to conquer was this man himself. The story of how the original army was made was believed to be a myth."

"You seem to know your history Villain. Since I arrived, I have heard the high school was captured 5 years ago till that giant demon I encounter from ancient times wreck havoc on the school as well as your attempt to capture the Glowing Tennis Ball from the Heroes 3 years ago."

Villain bowed his head, "I'm sorry sir. I have fail to take it and the result ended in it's destruction." The Inferno raise his hand and replied, "Do not worry, after a certain point of time after it's destruction, the remainder of the Glowing Tennis Ball will send messages to whose's carrying it and tell them a location of another Glowing Tennis Ball is located." Villain eyes widen and asked, "There's an another?"
