July 29, 2010.
- Again you. - I said with a little annoyance when I realized that I had again met the runaway Forever Knights, who, although they were without armor, were familiar to me as one of the most loyal followers of Enoch.
This time, they were literally on the run, so at the moment, they hijacked the prison bus that was supposed to take these guys to the place of detention. And they tried on the same bus to break away from the chase arranged by the police.
This day started like any other. We had breakfast together, after which we completed our duties around the house (more precisely, on the RV), which increased for me and the girls because of the story with Xylene, and after that we hit the road.
We left Missouri and were on our way to Tennessee, everyone minding their own business as always, when a prison bus suddenly appeared and nearly pushed our RV off the bridge into the water.
Both Gwen and Ashley and I expressed a desire to deal with the criminals, since we, frankly, were bored on the way, but by a fair draw (I, of course, cheated with the help of the Tattoo of Luck), the victory went to me, so I went to carry goodness and justice, where he met the aforementioned Forever Knights, who apparently did not particularly want to serve the term that the judge appointed them.
The Forever Knights also recognized me and were not happy about our new meeting, so they opened fire on me from pistols stolen from the guards. Transforming into Upgrade, I ignored the bullets and soaked into the bus and seized control of it, preventing the driver from hitting nearby cars.
Having launched a current charge that knocked out all the prisoners, I drove the bus further and when the bridge ended, I parked at the side of the road, handing over the criminals and two hostage escorts to the police, who, as always, arrived at the last moment.
- Yeah, these guys are always causing trouble… - I muttered back to the RV, ignoring the fact that it was mostly my fault.
- These are the Forever Knights. Nothing else can be expected of them. Now, at least the scale of their crimes have become less. - Max said with a smile, knowing full well that I am watching these heretics and do not allow them to do any irreparable deeds.
I started doing it more intently after some of the former knights attacked my new subordinates. I just expected them all to go to the deepest bottom and not stick out, but these idiots, continue to cause problems even when they are wanted all over the country.
I would not want innocent people to suffer because of my connivance, so I now keep an eye on every knight who might commit a crime. And paradoxically, we meet these same knights, even without my intervention. I don't know if this is a consequence of the canon or my great luck, but it's easier for me.
- At least it makes the trip more fun. - Ashley expressed her opinion, who was bored with training her strength and was now just messing around.
- I don't think the people who were nearly pushed off the bridge by these lunatics are of the same opinion. - Gwen said as she continued to read her magic books. I wonder if she's tired of it?
- Yeah…. Wait a second. - I began to speak, but was interrupted when I heard my phone ring.
Taking out the phone I answered the call and before I could even say anything, I heard on the other side of the phone: - [Lex, it's me, Zak.]
- Yes, Zak, I understand. What happened? - I asked calmly.
- [Did you watch the launch of the new rocket from Cape Canaveral?] - Zak Saturday asked quickly.
- No, what happened there? - I asked, motioning for Gwen to turn on our television.
- [It was canceled due to purple lightning.] - Zak said, just as the TV was showing a report about it.
- Looks like Victor has arrived on Earth. And he somehow miraculously managed to bypass the detection of my satellites. - I said irritably.
- [I thought it was him. We are already flying to Florida and will be there soon.] - Zak said.
- Okay, then we'll meet at the NASA center. - I said and hung up the phone.
- So Victor is already here and preparing his vile pan? - Gwen asked. who overheard the entire short conversation.
- Yes, apparently after the 'disappearance' of the Mummy, he decided to act more carefully and was able to transfer to Earth without making a trace that my satellites could detect. To be honest, I thought we had one or two more days. - I said, checking the readings of the satellites, which, although they detected an anomaly, but compared to what it was before, it was minimal, so Morgana did not even pay attention to these data.
- And what do we do now? We expected to know in advance about his arrival, and to meet him fully armed, but now Victor is calmly preparing to put his plan into action. - Ashley asked.
- Nothing changes, except that now there will not be such a surprise effect. We gather together and attack the enemies. - I said calmly, hacking into NASA's security cameras to get a sense of the situation.
- Enemies? - Max asked.
- Yes, Victor did not come alone. Actually, he brought an army with him. - I said, turning my laptop around and showing the feed from the NASA cameras.
Unlike what was in the canon, Victor decided not to waste time on trifles and instead of pretending to be a scientist, he simply captured all NASA employees with the help of four hundred monsters, originally from the Anur System, so that no one interfered with his preparation.
- Well, in the blink of an eye, everything became many times more complicated. - Gwen said, impressed with the preparation Victor had made after only one setback.
- We need to hurry. - Grandpa said seriously.
- Undoubtedly. I said, turning into a Portaler and opening the way to Cape Canaveral, which, fortunately, I had already been to.
- We still need to call the Green Family and Vaalet. They also wanted to participate in the final turmoil. - Gwen suggested.
- True, but there is another task for them. - I said, pulling out my phone again.
***
- So, more than 400 aliens from the Loboan, Tep Khufan and Transyl races oppose us. This is a significant power given the natural abilities of these races. - I said as our family and the Saturday family gathered for a briefing in the airship while the Green Family and Vaaleth carried out their part of the plan.
- And we need to defeat all of them in order to get to Victor and stop him. - Doc said, looking through the security cameras.
- For me, Grandpa, Gwen and Ashley, this is not such a problem, but you can't say the same about the four of you. - I said, pointing to Doc, Drew, Zack and Fisk, who, although they were strong by human standards, even a couple of Loboans would cause them serious problems.
- But you can't go there without reinforcements. It's too dangerous. - said Drew, who was not going to let us go to this one, what she thinks is a suicide mission.
- Well, I thought you would be opposed to us sorting this out ourselves, so I prepared something for you. - I said with a smile, taking out four vials of purple liquid.
- What is it? - Zak asked curiously, taking one of the vials.
- The Mister Hyde formula. It will allow you to get the power of the alien for 4 hours. - I said, at the same time glad that I could watch the process of becoming a hybrid.
- Are you serious? - Zak asked admiringly as he uncorked the flask and was about to drink the liquid, but Doc stopped him.
- This is not dangerous? - Drew asked for the sake of appearances.
- Not. As a side effect, when the formula wears off, there will be some fatigue and hunger. - I said as I watched Fisk drink the formula and transform into a Lemurian/Erburian Pelator hybrid. Unusual combination.
- Can I drink the formula now? - Zak asked impatiently.
- Oh, you still can't stop. - Drew said with a sigh, knowing full well the stubbornness of her son, who would still get into battle, even without a formula. So, at least it will be safer.
- Hooray! - Zak exclaimed and turned into a small werewolf, as he got Loboan's DNA.
- Eh… - Doc and Drew sighed at the same time, watching their son, and then they drank the formula and turned into a hybrid of Pyronite and Appoplexian, respectively.
- How do you feel? - I asked curiously.
- Strange… - said Drew, who looked like a fire lady with burning hair.
- SO COOL!!! - Zak exclaimed enthusiastically, running around the room, chasing Fisk, who was curled into a cannonbolt.
- Doc, thinks it's time to beat the mugs!!! - Doc exclaimed aggressively, and then more normally asked: - What was it now?
- Rath's temper. - Gwen said with a smile, whom I told about this race and their overshoots.
- Why didn't you give us this formula? - Ashley asked curiously as she watched the rejuvenated Saturday Family.
- If you, me or Gwen accepted this formula, we would just explode. - I said, watching the twisted degeneration of Ashley's face, and then added: - And Grandpa doesn't need her.
- Right. - Max said with a predatory smile, taking out his Jaeger, which I managed to update and add my grandfather's favorite weapon to it.
- *KSCHA* - the kommodo dragon exclaimed very displeasedly, who also wanted to participate in all this story.
- Okay, hold on. - I said, throwing him a test tube, swallowing which, Komodo turned into a hybrid of a lizard and Lepidopteran.
- Ithink everyone understands the plan. I go and stop Victor and you rescue the hostages and defeat the aliens. - I said, using a spell that would prevent outsiders from knowing what was going on in this area, as well as prevent our guests from escaping.
- Great, let's go beat the muzzle!!! - Zak exclaimed happily and jumped out of the airship window. Fisk followed him.
- Doc loves this idea! - completely losing himself because of the Rath gene, Doc shouted and went after his son.
- Boys, be more restrained. - Drew said with a smile and flew out of the window using her acquired powers.
- Ha... - Grandfather involuntarily said, watching the performance of the Saturday family, when he himself climbed into his robot.
- With their enthusiasm, our help will not be needed. - Gwen said as she put on her costume.
- Even so, we need to finish this story. - I said, also dressed in my suit. - Let's go!
