“You
have been a thorn in my side since that first day,” Mr. Dark said. “Even after
your retirement those annoying Atomic Corp heroes have been keeping me from
attaining what you have been denying me for so long.”
Mr.
Dark punched Captain Atomic multiple times in a split second.
“Leave
some for us,” Brother Frost yelled.
“You
will all have your turn,”
“I
would hate to deny them,” Captain Atomic said through coughs.
A roundhouse kick from
Mr. Dark sent his nemesis skidding to the feet of Crimson Storm.
Red
lightning flashed from Storm’s outstretched hands.
It
danced across Captain Atomic’s body causing every muscle to tighten and spasm.
Captain
Atomic could feel it now. Something he had deep inside.
The
lightning stopped and the Brother Storm began to weave a ball of energy.
His
brother’s hands became huge icicles.
He
stabbed where Atomic lay writhing in pain.
The
icicle impaled Captain Atomic in the shoulder.
The
smell of blood drew the Crazed Cannibal into the fight.
With
an animalistic scream the Cannibal was on Captain Atomic.
Sharp
teeth sank into the Captain’s other shoulder.
Captain
yelled in pain.
“See,
the old Captain Atomic would never have been this easy to take out,” the Mad
Professor said.
“Perhaps
it is true,” Mr. Dark said. “He has lost his powers.”
“NO!”
Firebug yelled.
He
came running from the burning house.
“He
is mine!” Firebug launches two fireballs at the group.
Both fireballs land short of others.
“Right
now we’re taking turns,” Mr. Dark said.
“No!
I am owed this!”
As
Firebug reached his fellow villians the Crazed Cannibal’s head suddenly
exploded covering Brother Frost and Firebug in brains and gore.
“What
the?” Majesto said.
Brother
Frost began to pull his hand of ice from Captain Atomic’s shoulder but was too
late.
A
blast of energy came from the wound disintegrating Frost’s arm up to his
shoulder and blowing off half his face.
“Get
him!” Mr. Dark commanded.
“BROTHER!”
Crimson Storm unleashed his ball of red lightning. It hit Captain Atomic as he
rose from the ground and was absorbed harmlessly.
Captain
Atomic levitated off the ground. Atomic energy swirled around his body.
“Anytime
now, Mad Professor,” Mr. Dark said. He was slowly making his way back to his
car and driver.
“Droids,
full power assault.” Mad Professor yelled.
The
hovering droids let loose a full barrage of bullets and missiles. All hit on target. But Captain Atomic
showed no pain or reaction.
The
Captain felt nothing at all.
“Mr.
Dark, as you can see I am not powerless like many believed.”
Mr.
Dark was getting into his car and turned to see Captain addressing him.
“I
am out here in the middle of nowhere not because I lost my powers.”
The
house was no longer the brightest thing in the dark countryside.
Captain
Atomic glowed as bright as the sun.
The
villains below shielded their eyes from the blinding light.
“I
am out here because I cannot control my powers,” Captain Atomic said. “And now
you will join me in death.”
The energy
within Captain Atomic was finally let loose and his body vanished. The villains
below him disintegrated before they could react. Mr. Dark yelled briefly before
his ashes were blown into the winds that the explosion created.
