Orion Perspective: Destroy That Mech or Die Trying!

Orion and Sabrina stood in the middle of the city area talking and planning on what they need to do to beat this mech. Orion was already tired and injured from fighting her smaller suit. However, with strategic planning and the fact that she's a bigger target, Orion and Sabrina could eek out a win. But it's gonna be tough.

"Are you guys gonna stand their like pansies, or are you gonna FIGHT!" Alison said slamming the giant hand down to the ground and causing a huge eruption of flying debris, along with a giant earthquake.

Sabrina and Orion scattered, both avoiding the attack, Sabrina using her shadows to swing into the air and land on top of a building.

Orion on the otherhand uses a floating platform to propel through the air.

Alison waste no time, launching six missiles, three at Orion and another three at Sabrina.

Orion gets off the platform and uses an upward kick to block himself. This leads to all three of the missiles to explode and send Orion flying into a nearby window.

He immediately gets up after crashing.

"I'm getting too damn sluggish, I have to keep up the energy she's giving me!" Orion thought to himself as he stood in the window.

Sabrina uses a shadow barrier and blocks out the missiles.

"Orion! Pull yourself together!" She yelled at him standing.

Orion was alert, immediately listening to her words.

"You want to surpass Rex and get stronger? Now's your chance! A real hero never lets their foot off the gas, they always go one hundred percent no matter what!" Sabrina yelled.

Orion's body was filled with determination and fell from the building full of energy.

Orion walks up to Sabrina standing by her side, slapping his face and getting focused.

"I'm sorry Sabrina, I'm being selfish… I'm not fighting with all my power and now I'm dragging the team down" Orion said.

Orion smiles and wipes his nose.

"Come on lets go!" Orion said.

Sabrina uses shadows to grab his arms and legs and throws Orion into the air. Sabrina creates shadow platforms in the air while Orion jumps on them at high speeds getting closer and closer.

"Screw you two!" Alison said launching two more missiles at Orion, but he quickly slices the air and launches two slices of gravity at the missiles, causing them to explode, although Orion got caught in the crossfire.

Orion easily recovered and created a platform flying straight to the mech.

"GRAVITY PUSH!" Orion yelled creating a huge dent into the mech.

Alison gets pushed back as the mech took some damage that self repair couldn't fix.

"Fuck, Fuck, FUCK!" Alison said.

She puts some of her energy into the palm of the mechs hand and aims it directly at Orion.

Sabrina caught onto this and looks at him suspended in the air.

"ORION LOOK OUT!" Sabrina said.

"It's too late tramp!" Alison said.

Alison's laser shot out, pure plasma that was enough to erase Orion one million times over.

"VANISHER CANNON"

The stream of plasma shot out from The Revenants hand as it shoots straight at Orion with insane power and speed, the blast destroyed others buildings and roads in the area.

"How do you like that!" Alison yelled.

Orion started hysterically laughing as he looked at Alison, completely unscathed and protecting himself with a sphere of gravity.

"You really are dumber than I THOUGHT!" Orion said in his barrier.

"What the fuck!" Alison said.

"His File didn't tell me he was this versatile this is gonna he hard" Alison said.

Orion reached out his arm and using his gravity, he made the entire mech heavy, making it stick straight on the pavement like a rock sinking in water.

"Sabrina!" Orion yelled.

Sabrina gathering more shadows smiled.

"This is the same attack I used to beat your friend, let's see if you can handle it!" Sabrina yelled launching a Dragon Shaped Shadow that rammed into the mech.

The Revenant gets sent through multiple buildings causing a bunch of destruction.

The Revenant gets up and Alison starts getting mad.

"You guys are dead! Fuck the rules!" Alison said.

Orion ran up to Sabrina.

"That was my strongest attack, this thing doesn't budge!" Sabrina said breathing heavily and needing rest.

Orion gave a frown and looked at her.

"We need to find a way inside the core, you think we can find a weak spot?" Orion said.

"Doubt it, but that's our best bet as of now." Sabrina said.

Alison was seething looking at the two, as she didn't want to lose, go back to being helpless like she once was.

"I can't go back to that…" Alison said whispering as she thought about her life up to that point.

In the slums of Neo New York, it was the exact opposite of what the squeaky clean suburbs and rural areas were like. Drug Dealing, Human Trafficking, and gangs flooded the area and made it hard for low income families to thrive. Children fell into the cycle of violence in their neighborhood, joining gangs and doing criminal activity. Unfortunately, no heroes and the government cared to even help this place and instead of actually helping and defusing the situation, they just ignored it, only promoted the 'cool heroes' and what not.

Anyway now that you know what's happening, let's get to what you're really here for.

A man walked around the slums as he lit his cigarette. The streets were dark, grimy and disgusting no matter how you look at it.

The man looked around to see if anyone knew what he was doing, as he seen no one, he opened a door into a building with no signs.

The building was absolutely vile, having a bunch of children in cages, waiting for the highest bidder to take them away.

The man walked around as a strange old man showed him around.

The man stopped at a now twelve Carli and Alison.

"Any powers yet?" The man said blowing the smoke in their faces.

"Not yet…" The Old man said.

The Man got up and paid the old man five hundred dollars for both of them and The Man immediately grabbed them both with a strong hold.

The Mans house was even dirtier than that of his soul, not keeping it clean whatsoever.

Both Carli and Alison both were forced to be slaves for this man, cleaning, cooking, No sleep and barely any food for themselves. Along with the physical and mental abuse from this man. After a month of this, the two of them got sick of it and in their bed quarters they made their plans.

"A-Alison, are you sure about this…" Carli said.

"Definitely." Alison said as she revealed the knife she was hiding in their room.

"But isn't killing wrong…" Carli said.

When those words left her mouth, Alison snapped and grabbed her shirt.

"And isn't THIS wrong too!? Either we kill him or we can't be the heroes that we want Carli!" Alison yelled.

Carli started tearing up but she nodded.

Alison and Carli quickly snuck into the hallway and down the stairs, seeing the man sleeping on the recliner as the TV blaired.

Alison had a little hesitation but she moved her body and without holding back, stabbed the man in his chest, over, and over and over and over again. She didn't let up, putting a month of pent up anger and despair into her stabs until the man didn't have a pulse.

Carli immediately ran to her, stopping her from continuing and running out of the grimy house.

Carli and Alison spent the next three years of their lives homeless. Carli developing the power to go through walls and using that to steal and survive, while Alison discovered her insane intelligence, developing suits and her prized possessions, The Revenant, just from metal she found, with their powers, the went to the Superhuman Tech entrance exams passing with ease.

Alison thought back to all of this in the blink of an eye while she was tearing up inside the base of the revenant.

"I, no, we can't go back to this life… I need to become a hero!" Alison said.

She readied her blast at the two.

"And by defeating you, no, EVERYONE here with my masterpiece, I will show them what I can truely do!"

"Sabrina scatter!" Orion said as they both jumped back.

The Revenant fired a red beam from its hand, causing them to fly back from the ensuing explosion.

"Damn it!" Sabrina said making a hand sign.

Her shadow morphed into a buzz saw like in the entrance exam and started cutting at the hard metal.

The Revenants core starts to open from the constant slicing of the shadow, as it's cutting faster than the mech can self repair.

The Revenants arms grab the shadow.

"Come the fuck ON!" Alison said going max power to try and get the buzzsaw off with the Revenants hand.

Sabrina creates two shadow chains, wrapping around the arms and trying to hold them back.

"Orion… GO!" Sabrina said straining.

Orion ran full speed to the mech while making his bodies gravity lighter.

With one big leap, Orion grabbed a sliver of the sliced mech.

Orion slipped his hands between the crack and using all the strength in his arms, he pulled it open.

Orion let out a scream of determination as he fought harder and harder to get it wide enough to fit.

After a few seconds, Orion opened it enough to fit, realizing this he jumped into the robots core.

Orion landed pretty easily and the moment he stood up he seen Alison glaring at him.

Both Alison and Orion both instinctively walked around the core.

"You know, you don't have to make it this hard, you can surrender…" Orion said quietly.

"You're dumber than you look if you think I'm gonna throw away everything I worked for now" Alison said.

Orion sighed and before Alison could react he used his Gravitational Pull to snatch Alison close.

"Nice TRY!" Alison said getting dragged as she blasted a pulse of energy straight to Orions chest.

Orion got sent flying upwards and hit his back on the roof of the core.

Alison used rocket boots to fly into the air and by doing that she punch Orion at full force.

Orion blocked it but they both got sent flying out of the mech and into the sky.

Orion was getting rag dolled through the air but he was able to find his footing but dragging his feet on a nearby building.

"Where the hell did she go?" Orion said looking around.

Then out of nowhere Alison came flying towards him with a kick that he barely dodged.

Orion gathered mass into his hand and threw a punch at her.

Alison created a shield of energy that she used in attempt to stop his attack but to her surprise it shattered on impact and the fist hit her square in the face, although the shield slowed down the impact, the punch was stoll powerful sending her flying. But her rockets helped her recover.

Alison wiped her mouth of blood and immediately sent a wave of sound at Orion.

"Radio Rapture!" Alison said as the sound wave launched at Orion at insane speeds.

Orion held his hand out and created a force field of gravity that canceled out the attack. However Alison had a follow up ready as she appeared behind him and readied another kick.

Orion saw this coming and before the kick could connect Alison all of a sudden became heavier like a rock in water and immediately got sent flying down into the building they were standing on.

Orion then free falled to where she was readying a follow up.

Alison groaned as she watched Orion come down.

Alison not wanting to give up locked in and using her boots blasted Orion.

Orion got send flying upwards right where he came.

Alison flew into the air and tried to hit Orion with a sledgehammer but he seen it coming, Orion made himself lighter and adjusted himself in the air and kicked her in the neck, sending her out of the building and back into the street.

Alison got sent flying out of the street as her feet dragged.

Her anger and willingness to win clouded her decision making.

Orion not too long after jumped out of the building too.

"Give it up already you lost, your attacks are too predictable…" Orion said wanting to end this fight.

"No… No! No!" Alison said flying into the air.

Alison combined both of her gauntlets into one big cannon.

"This Entire Facility is gonna be nothing but Ashes!" Alison said as a blue beam begins charging from her cannon.

Orion looked at her in horror.

"What the hell do I do, how do I contest that!" Orion thought of something, anything to do in this situation.

Orion, not knowing what to do on his own thinks about what his friend would do. What would Rex do.

Orion gained his composure and smiled.

"I'll just do what I can!" Orion said looking up.

Orion gathered mass into his hand and organized his actions.

Orion used a floating platform and flew straight to Alison.

Alsion seeing Orion trying to contest her sent half a dozen missiles at Orion.

Orion kicked the platform into two of them causing it to explode but Orion creates another one.

"Two More?" Orion thought as he flew around some more.

Orion flew straight to all four of the missiles and immediately made them all heavier causing them to crash down and explode in the city.

When he did this, The Cannon was at full power, and he was unfortunately right in the line of sight.

"Say goodbye, Orion!" Alison yelled.

"Vanishing Resonance!" Alison said shooting the blue beam straight down to Orion and the city area.

Orion dodged the beam, the beam destroyed the ground Orion was just standing on and creating a huge explosion and shockwave that even Sabrina felt a few blocks away.

"Orion…" Sabrina said running to the direction of the explosion.

Orion flew into the air, dodging the beam as he elevated into the air with absolute grace.

Alison seen him coming closer and closer, she realized there was nothing she could do, as not only did she use up her entire power core with this attack but she couldn't dodge.

Orion took the mass in his hand and put it directly into her stomach.

Like clockwork, all the debris came straight into her and turned into a huge rock.

Orion stood on the platform looking at the rock and sighed.

"You know Alison, you're kinda like me, I lashed out on people that cared about me when I was going through some tough shit" Orion said.

Orion put his hand on the rock.

"It's not too late to become a great hero Alison, you don't have to abandon your morals and who you hold dear to make it. When you realize that, fight me again okay?" Orion said.

Orion, with a single gravity push sent the rock flying straight into the lake area, the rock was destroyed on impact with the water, revealing Alison straight in the middle.

Alison, wet and defeated put her hand up and got lost in thought, realizing how cruel she was, how much her mental state deteriorated.

Alison started tearing up in the water but there was still no emotion on her face.

"Carli…" She whispered as her eyelids got heavy.

Orion came down from the air as he seen Sabrina waiting for him.

"That was bittersweet wasn't it Orion?" Sabrina said smiling.

"Yeah… But I do hope she learned what she did wrong, hopefully what I said wasn't completely in vain" Orion said looking at his hand.

Sabrina seeing he was a little down patted his back.

"Look Orion, you could help someone a million times, but sometimes they fall into the same trap, all that matters is that you know in your heart that you did the best you could've possibly done, and that's good enough." Sabrina said.

Orion smiled.

"Thanks Sabrina, I'm glad someone like you is in this class" Orion said.

Orion and Sabrina walked out of the destroyed city area.

"So what's our next plan of action?" Sabrina said looking at Orion.

"It's best that we regroup, even after beating those two we're still down in numbers, Rex and the others shouldn't be too far, so finding them will be easy" Orion said.

Orion put his fist into his hand and smiled.

"Let's win this!" Orion said as Sabrina followed behind.

But not everything was good in the facility.

Rex and Yui traveled through a burning town area, built to help heroes with house fire situations to try and find other people in their class.

Rex seen a building, for some reason, his gut was telling him to go into.

"Yui, you keep going, I'm gonna stick around here…" Rex said.

"Wait, Rex what are you going? Wherever it is surely I can come with you!" Yui said grabbing him.

Rex smiled and patted her head.

"Don't worry about me Yui, finding the others is more important. If I'm in trouble I'll just holler!" Rex said using his water chain to grab a part of the building and kick into it.

"Rex, please stay safe…" Yui said running away.

Rex walked into the buildings third floor with caution.

"There's a reason why my gut told me to come in here, but why…" Rex said as he looked around.

Rex went upstairs to the fourth floor, it was quiet and dark.

At first he didn't see a thing, but from the light of the fire outside, he seen a silhouette.

Rex was frozen in fear as he seen the figure, tall and imposing, and his standout feature, not having a face.

"I was wondering when someone would find me here…" The Man said turning around.

All the memories started flooding Rex's brain of reading about a faceless man killing a bunch of people in the hospital.

"N-No way…" Rex said stammering over his words trying to gather himself.

"This is the perfect opportunity, to slaughter the child who destroyed my creation…" The Man said as his arm grew bigger due to him power.

"No Way, No way, No way…" Rex whispered as he gathered water onto his entire arm.

No way I'm fighting a real villain…
