Chapter 5
A young girl tripped over her own foot and fell front first onto the ground. She was about to pick herself up when an arm pulled her onto her knees. The arm was wrinkled and dry, the owner of the arm deadlock stared the girl and a pink energy drifted from out of the girls mouth and into the person who lifted her.
After hearing the police sirens the person stopped and vanished with a pink light.

0verspeed zoomed in front of Katherine who was stood outside looking inside the mini fridge that was in the trunk of the Sienna. 0verspeed quickly swiped the plate Spaghetti out of the fridge and started eating.
- Katherine is wearing her her long sleeved folded white shirt and jean shorts.
"You can't eat all the leftovers!" Katherine exclaimed.
"Actually I can." 0verspeed commented, swirling in a line of spaghetti.
"Since when?"
"Since I've been doing all the heroism in this place for the passed couple days."
"You've only been doing it by yourself because Marcy and I can't be seen helping you out or taking down bad people."
"Excuses." 0verspeed rushed to the front of Katherine. "And why are you saying Marcy and I?"
"English Dumpshit."
"No I meant you don't do heroism." He said tapping Katherine's chest.
"Yes I do-"
0verspeed places his finger on Katherine's lip "-Save the excuses. You don't understand true heroism."
Katherine groaned and stormed away from the Sienna
"Was that now really necessary?" Marcy questioned the alien.
__________________________
Katherine storming with anger marched down the streets of the neighborhood they were parked in. Their weren't much people around since the area didn't look very social so nobody could feel the pressure of her rage.
"I am a hero."
A dog barked her way and she gave the dog a small glare and it kept quiet. She continued with her march, while fuming with intoxicating rage. Katherine was lost in her own thoughts of anger, she wasn't even paying attention to where she was going.
"Help!"
Katherine stopped and looked across the road where an old lady stood staring up at a tree.
__________________________
Cameron was sat upside down on the left center seat watching a video on his phone. Marcy opened the trunk and placed down the food she ordered.
-Cameron wore his classic black shirt with white sleeves, and blue jeans.
"Katherine isn't back yet." Cameron nonchalantly pointed out while watching his video.
"I know, she called me awhile back and told me an old lady that she helped wants to reward her with something at her home."
"Oh... Wait!" Cameron placed his phone down on his chest. "She's getting rewarded?!"
"Yeah."
Cameron flips off of the chair, "I never get rewarded for saving the day why the hell is she?!"
"Because you only use the Omnitrix to save the day when people are in real danger not when cats are stuck on trees."
"Uh doy, I shouldn't use the watch for nonsense. But still I save people from killers I get nothing, but hate and cheers."
"I guess the small everyday hero stuff are way more important than big end of life hero stuff."
Cameron picked up his buzzing phone from the floor and a news feed interrupted his video.
"News? What does it say?"
"Some very, very pale looking girl said that her life energy was sucked out of her by some senior at holt st. That's actually close by we could check it out."
"Holt street? Wait a minute."
__________________________
Katherine took a long sip of coffee with a calm expression on her face.
"Thank you for this really."
"The pleasure is all mine, you helped save my little albeit from that evil tree demon."
"No you shouldn't have thanked me. Personally I feel like the only reason I helped you was just so I could feel better about being a hero."
"What do you mean? You are a hero."
"My brother and I had an argument about me being a real hero or not."
"Ugh brothers please don't get me started, the last time my brother angered me he was left lifeless on the ground."
Katherine chuckles. "Stop playing. But I do wish I could knock that boy out sometimes."
"What does he know about heroing anyway?"
"Funny enough, a lot actually. He does it all the time."
"Really now? He must be a pure boy if he is helping people a lot. You said that you want to knock him out right?"
"Uh yah."
"A better way to repay you for doing such a good deed is by helping you out. I'll suck that pure life energy out of him."

The Sienna came to a strong stop at Holt street. Cameron with a sneeze fell to the front, but his seat belt pulled him back, Marcy pushed the driver door open. With a grey blaster in hand she turned over to the apartment complex that they parked by. Marcy pointed at a corner across the street of the apartment.
"That's the corner that girl was found in, and that complex is where Katherine told me she was going. We're like action heroes!"
The dial pops up, "I guess it's time to be a hero." Cameron said before slamming the dial into place.
Six Mimicks appeared. The six all ran forward into the apartment complex and went their separate ways.
__________________________
"Excuse me what?"
"Not all of it, just enough to knock him out like you wanted."
"You're joking right?" Katherine questioned, she turned to the ladies frightened cat. "..No! What the hell!"
"I was afraid you might answer like that. I'll just settle for your energy."
The lady leaped over the table and pushed Katherine and her chair to the ground. She stared the brunette in the eye and a pink energy drifted from out of her mouth and into the eyes of the old lady. For a moment the draining process stopped and that was when Katherine moved, she kicked the lady over her.
The lady quickly got up and rushed at the young girl who side stepped her coursing the lady to knock her stomach against the table side.
"Sorry old lady."
"Call me Aunt you-"
A blue beam fired and shot the lady and the table into the wall. Marcy stood by the door and cocked her blaster.
"That was so awesome! Damn I missed doing this!"
"No you did-"
Before the lady could fully get up she was dog piled by a swarm of Mimicks. The pile pushed her down again.
"Now we got he-"
Before the aliens could finish their in sync comment a purple light shined inside the pile and a second after a powerful energy blast blasted all the aliens into a wall. The blast pushed both Marcy and Katherine back and it was able to breakdown the rooftop and some walls of the upper floor they were on.
A Mimick arrived and before he could comment a red flash shined and all the aliens were gone leaving Cameron.
Aunt stood tall with pink energy tracing around her body. The pink energy moved down to her palm and a sphere made from the energy formed around her palm.
"Oh yes! Let's do this!"
A blue beam came her way and she quickly ducked.
Immediately following the blue beam Marcy punched her square in the face coursing Aunt to tumble back a bit. Aunt quickly recovered and fired a pink energy disk at Marcy who dodged the attack with ease and then launched forward a punch that the old lady caught.
Marcy kneed her in the stomach resulting in Aunt letting her go and then she headbutted her back. Marcy quickly picked up her blaster and was ready to fire when she was hit with a pink energy ray.
Katherine with battle wounds on her face and a few rips on her white shirt rushed at the lady with a gripped fist, Aunt aimed her palm at the brunette and for a second her pink energy flickered as a shield, but then went off leaving her open for a punch from Katherine, one that connected.
"You might be powerful, but we're better." Katherine commented.
Using her blaster as a booster Marcy stood up. "We're just built different honestly old lady."
"What are you humans going on about?! I am far from done!" Aunt exclaimed, "You are not better than me. Katherine of all people I didn't expect you to lie to me, you told me you couldn't do tough hero... But you were holding back... You were lying..."
"I wasn't."
"You humans all lie... But that is okay... Because Addwaitya please forgive me... I've been lying as well!"
A stronger force of energy shot out from the old lady, her grey hair glowed pink her wrinkled peach skin glowed purple and her eyes became pale. She thrusted her arms forward pushing both girls back with a pink energy.
"Never in my life have I met such irritating human beings. You all should not think that you are beating me, my power isn't at its highest extent because I didn't suck that girl dry... I could feel her life energ-"
Aunt raised her palm creating a solid pink forcefield that blocked the incoming blast from Marcy. The two girls stood on edge with their ripped and damaged clothing.
"I am done with you three! I'll kill you all with the last remainder of my power!"
Aunt slowly started floating up into the sky while laughing manically. When she was high enough she stared down at Katherine and Marcy. The two girls quickly ran to the left and jumped off the apartment complex, the Sienna started and drove toward the complex stopping underneath Marcy and Katherine, catching them.
"That won't help you. You can't get away from me!"
Katherine and Marcy shared a look before breaking into laughter, they both pointed up.
Aunt confused looked up and was greeted with the foot of CrashSpring that drove her entire body down through the complex. After her body impacted with the complex a crazy explosion shot out into the area.
"Did we?"
From the explosion CrashSpring was tossed against the Sienna, tilting it to the side for a moment. Aunt floated out of the cloud of dust panting for air.
"Y-y Agh!" Aunt screeched.
Marcy pulled out her blaster and got into position while Katherine with one of her sleeves almost ripped off, blood dripping from her cheek, stood in front of her with tightened fists. CrashSpring hopped onto the top of the Sienna landing besides Marcy. The team was all set and they all stared at the alien women who released one more screech before disappearing.
"I think we scared her off." CrashSpring noted.
Katherine falls back, "Thank the gods. I did not have any hope of us beating that lady."
"We got lucky."
[ On the road ]
Cameron was lucky enough to have gotten the front seat in the Sienna and was also lucky in the sense of not suffering much battle wounds; unless you count the damage done to his black T-shirt. Katherine sat behind Cameron on one of the only two chairs in the middle row.
"For what's it worth... that was pretty cool." Cameron remarked.
"So, do I officially count as a hero? or are you gonna make up an excuse why I'm not one."
"You're one dumpshit aren't you, but fine sure, I accept you as a hero, for now of course."
"Just like a dumpshit, you came around in the end."
"Did any of you get like a luxury item from that experience?" Marcy raised a question.
"I got one of her cups." Katherine revealed.
"Great. Now we're gonna have to do some shopping."
"For what?"
"Your iconic clothes got ruined."
