Shot For Shot

*Psychic laughs*

Psychic: Don't worry I will. I've done what I needed to do. See you soon!

*Vibes, Van and Sal all fall to their knees*

Vibes: I...I don't feel so good.

Sal: Whatever this thing is it's got into our heads.

Van: We'd better warn everyone to be on their guard. This thing could strike anytime.

ELSEWHERE...

*Psychic grins smugly*

Psychic: Just as I hoped, doubt and confusion have been successfully planted.

Stealth: We should target the others as well.

Speed: Excellent idea.

Strength: So where do we strike?

Psychic: Simple- we target the things they love.

Van: this is really bad

*Sal nods*

Sal: Keep your eyes open and look for anything that could affect us.

*She looks up and sees on the TV*

Reporter: We've just had reports of a serious fire at the Norton Cafe.

*Vibes looks horrified*

Vibes: No way! That place does the best chilli! SPEED MODE!

*Before Sal or Van can say anything she's off*

Sal: Oh boy it begins...

Van: oh this is bad

*Sal and Van go after her*

Sal: I can't believe she'd be so stupid.

Van: Guess she has a point to prove.

Sal: Well next time we get her we keep her pinned down until we figure out what's happening...

*They enter into the cafe. Before Sal has a chance to react a pan flies up and smacks her in the head*

Sal: Oof!

*Van goes to help her but is hit by a table*

Van: oof!

*meanwhile*

*DV sees a report talking about her favorite bar being under attack*

DV: Nobody messes with my fave watering hole!

*Flies off*

Strength: once DV gets here it's 2 birds with one stone. she'll draw in Van and we can take her out

*DV burst in to see Van, Sal and Vibes hit by levitating cooking utensils*

DV: Looks like we've got someone invisible here. And I'm guessing they're not
one of those four really fantastic people.

*She slams her pole into Strength's gut*

DV: Quick memo, the diversion tactic doesn't work on henchwomen who have done diversion detail.

*Steal grabs her, stealing her powers*

Steal: Guess again.

*DV scowls*

DV: So you've got my powers. I could still...

*Tries to lift her pole but can't.*

DV: Uh oh.

Van: DV! *charges at steal*

*Steal grins as she hurls Van against the wall*

Steal: Keep him pinned!

Shield: I'm on it!

Van: *struggles* you'll pay for hurting DV

*Shield laughs*

Shield: How can you stop me when you can't breathe?

*G smashes through the roof.*

G: We came as soon as we could.

*Van looks round*

Van: "We"?

*Amber fires a blast of fire at Shield*

Amber: Sorry we're late, usually Vibes gives us the heads up.

*She dodges Strength throwing a fist at her*

Amber: Hey hey I'm working here!

Van: thanks for the assist

Amber: don't mention it

*Sal swings her pole at Steal, who hurls her against the wall.*

Sal: Oof!

*Vibes scowls*

Vibes: OK I'm done with you lot playing me. PSYCHIC MODE!

*Vibes tries to focus but falls to her knees*

Vibes: N...No...

*Psychic laughs*

Psychic: You know what I'm capable of Vibes. Surrender and this doesn't get any worse.

Van: *rushes Psychic*

*Psychic gets knocked over*

Psychic: Oof!

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes: Thanks.

*Strength grabs them both*

Vibes and Van: Uh oh.

Van: crap

*Steal clamps restraints on Amber and DV*

Steal: This should keep you in place.

*Sal goes to hit Steal*

Sal: Guess again!

*Speed knocks her over*

Sal: Oof!

*Psychic gestures to Shield*

Psychic: Quick cover me!

Van: *struggles* no!

*Psychic grins*

Psychic: Fun time's over. We bring them in for real this time.

*Vibes, Sal and Van all start itching*

Vibes: Feel...so...itchy.

*DV and Amber both look uncomfortable*

DV: Itchy...can't...scratch...

Amber: Me...too...

*Psychic laughs as they all start to swell up*

Psychic: Hee hee hee, the perfect psychic trick...I've made you all allergic to your powers!

Van: god da.....i HATE robots

*The robots laugh as they roll them out of the bar*

Psychic: Yes. Just as Mega Fox ordered. Make sure they all get a look at their "heroes".

Amber: leggo!

*They all groan as they get rolled across the city*

Vibes: This...hurts...so...much...

*Psychic and the others laugh*

Psychic: Come on AK, use those special powers of yours! Oh I
forgot you can't. Because you're a big swollen blimp,
just like your friends.

G: So this is Mega Fox's plan? Parade us?

IG: Not exactly.

CG: You get paraded. Then the crowd gets to watch as you get finished off
in Reynard City stadium.
