“Supernatural Assault Unit: Bounty”
By: Nelson Carrasquillo AKA Big Puerto Rico
An Ultimate COH adventure
**In a universe where Paragon City’s biggest protectorate group,
the Hero Corps, is corrupt and filled with ignorant heroes following
the commands of the corrupt leaders, few heroes know the truth. Most of
them are forced into a life of hiding or forced to put on a show and
agree with the corrupt to keep their lives. Few actually fight back,
and few keep their will to fight on. Some of those few have come
together and formed the Supernatural Assault Unit. **
Chapter five
Previously
Boriqua Soldier
was welcomed back home by his teammate Gibu. Big Puerto Rico and
Boriqua Soldier talked for the first time in over eleven years. Boriqua
warned that the war between them will be coming soon and that Big PR
will die by his own hands.
Peregrine Island: SAU headquarters
The sun had started to slowly set on the horizon of
the ocean that surrounded Peregrine Island. Big PR and Rey Tormentor
watched over Kid Aux, Mirafox, and Pobre Diabla as they practiced their
powers.
“Damn it! Why? Why can’t I hit the damn targets!?” Pobre yelled in frustration.
Big PR approached her, “Well, it seems that
you can’t control your fire balls…to a certain extent.
You’re lacking the focus to improve.”
“Huh, that really bites ass! We are probably
on the dawn of death and I can’t freakin throw fire balls,”
Pobre started to cry.
“Hey, no need to think negatively, and
definitely no need to break down at this moment. Be strong, girl, be
strong,” Big PR replied. “I actually have an
idea…let me see something,” Big PR pulled out the
controller for the hologram that trained the inhabitants. He input
information and a brutish man with a long beard appeared about two feet
in front of the heroine. “Can you hit him?”
“Most likely I can.”
“Well then, hit him with a fire ball,” Big PR stood off to the side.
Pobre conjured a ball of flame and threw it at the
target, it hit it dead on. The image disappeared and Big PR stood in
front of Pobre Diabla and handed her a set of arrows with a bow.
“This is my set of bow and arrows. I believe
it can help you better than it can me. All you have to do is
concentrate your flame to the tip of that arrow and hit your target.
Practice with it and you’ll do a whole lot more in battle than
curse your ‘bad aim’” Big PR started up a situation
for the squad to take on as a team.
Pobre Diabla was defeating enemies left and right;
the bow helped her immensely. While the team trained Big PR and Rey
helped the others if they saw any flaws that hindered their technique.
After two hours of training, the group decided to rest.
“So,” Kid Aux paused to get some breath, “how did I do, Cris?”
“You did well, Austin, all you need to do is
learn how to control your breathing; I know you knew how to do it once.
I will help you relearn how to do it. Come with me.”
Kid Aux and Big PR left the training room and went into a room that looked as though to be a living room.
“Well I guess Mirafox had to have some type of
living quarters while everyone was gone,” Kid Aux remarked.
Big PR moved a coffee table; that was located in the
middle of the room, and placed it by the couches near by. “Ok,
Austin, time to do some breathing techniques, they come from Tai
Chi.” They started the smooth and fluid motions of Tai Chi, with
every step Big PR helped Kid Aux with his breathing. They practice for
some time and Kid Aux started to remember the techniques he once knew
fluently. “I think we can stop now, seems like you found it
again,” Big PR smiled. “I’m gonna show you a
technique that puts an immense amount of power into one punch!”
“Where are Austin and Cris?” Pobre
asked, looking around in the main room of the base; which had the
meeting table and the super computer.
“They’re doing Tai Chi, if I remember the name correctly,” Mirafox answered.
“Ah, cool. You know, I’m really glad
Cris thought of the bow and arrow thing,” Pobre placed her hand
on the said items that were located on the large round table that they
used as the meeting table.
“Yes, Cris is a great man, if I were able to
love such a being I would have fallen for him,” Mirafox hung her
head. “But I cannot love anything really…not any
more.”
“Why is that, Mira?” Pobre asked.
“Because, I…believe I bring harm to the
things I love…I loved the people that died the day that the
original SAU disbanded, I loved Cris and look what happened to him. I
loved a man named, Arrquon, or pronounced Aaron on this world.”
“Did he die?”
“Yes, it was my fault, so, I try to not love
too much…because I fear for the consequences.”
“None of those were your fault, Mira,”
Innamorata interrupted. “You could have never seen that your
friends would end up dying to save you or the city. You have to realize
that, you can have love for someone…”
“I sense that you are with holding feelings yourself, Layla,” Mirafox projected into the mind of the heroine.
“Since when do you have the ability to talk with your mind, Mira?” Innamorata responded.
“My people acquire the ability as we age…do you have feelings for Cris that you hide?”
“Why are you guys so quiet all of a sudden?” Pobre asked.
Innamorata sighed in relief, she was happy to not
answer the question that Mirafox had asked her. “I’m sorry,
Karla…we were talking with our minds.” Innamorata
couldn’t lie to the young heroine for some reason.
“Ahh come on we are all friends here, we can
talk without all of the fancy mind speak,” Pobre drew in close to
Innamorata and Mirafox. “Come on spill it!”
“I...”
“She has feelings for Cris,” Mirafox interrupted Innamorata.
“Hmm, I had a feeling about that,” Pobre commented.
“You didn’t have to say that so loud, Mira,” Innamorata said in a lowered voice.
“Hey! What are you girls still doing up? I
would have thought you had fallen asleep. I mean look at Rey, he is out
like a light and he wasn’t the one who had to train the
hardest,” Big PR said, Kid Aux by his side.
Innamorata’s eyes widened in surprise,
“I hope he didn’t hear any of that,” she said to
herself.
“Well come to think of it…I am pretty dog tired. Where can we sleep?” Pobre yawned.
“Austin will show where you two will be at,
the rooms big so you don’t have to worry about hearing him snore
up close and personal or anything like that,” Big PR replied.
“Good night, Cris, Mira, and Layla. Come on
Austin.” Pobre waved good night to every one and pushed Kid Aux
in front of her.
Big PR walked over to Innamorata, she was not facing
him and she had her arms folded. He stopped at her side and put is arm
around her, she almost melted in his arms, “So are you nervous or
something about what my brother said?” Big PR seemed to not have
any clue how Innamorata felt for him.
“I guess you can say that, I just
feel…uneasy,” Innamorata covered up her true feeling of
anxiety for the fact that Big PR could have heard what she said. She
didn’t want him to find out her feelings in a time like this, she
was afraid it would hinder his concentration or something; adding to
the possibility of mistake.
“Well, a good rest will help, you have no need
to worry I have your back. I’ll take care of you, and the
rest…it will be hard but I will do it. Good night, Layla.”
Big PR turned Innamorata toward him and gave her a hug. She hugged him
back and went off to her quarters.
Mirafox turned into a young version of herself,
“You want to tuck me into bed, daddy?” she said mocking the
way Big PR was telling everyone what to do.
“Ha, ha, you look like a big red ball with red
hair and clothes!” Big PR laughed at his alien friend.
“Hey,” Mirafox returned to her actual
size and age. “I was a little…chubby I guess is what you
would say, when I was a kid. Don’t make fun!”
“Ha, you started it,” Big PR smiled and
gave her a hug as well. “Now go to sleep you’ll need to
rest.”
“Ok I cave in, good night,” Mirafox left to her room.
Big Puerto Rico looked around in the main room and
soaked in the situation. “God…give me the strength to
endure my brother’s onslaught, when ever it comes,” he said
to himself. He walked over to the light switch located at the door to
get into the base. The darkness of the base was eerie, but Big PR
wasn’t affected by it. He made his way to the hall, which was
only illuminated by the small low lights located on the walls. Big PR
entered his quarters; it was identical to all of the other ones, except
for the arrangement. The room was dark, except for the moon light that
had made its way into the room from the window located in front of him.
He walked to his bed and sat down facing the window. “You know
you’re not very good at hiding, even in the dark, it’s
sad.”
“No it’s not that, you’re just too
good,” the voice of a man named Vent Sol said. The lights turned
on when he finished his sentence.
Big PR stood and walked over to the one time hero. “How’s the wheel chair treatin’ you?”
“It’s good, no worries. I got some people to come down, we
are ready for that battle we were told about, it’s gonna be like
old times.”
“Heh, it sure will.”
