Chapter 2

Dark Dash had made his return, Train and his friends got ready to go. Before they left, Dr. Myer asked Tarin something.

“Am I able to look into your experiments?” He asked. Usually Tarin would say no, but in a time like this he didn’t care about much.

“Ya fine.” He ran to catch up with all of his friends, Tarin ran all the way to Union Square. Otherwise known as…

“Times Square? Really?” Asked Aaron.

“He must want to make a show.” Said Max.

Once they all got to Union Square they found where Dark Dash was, and when they saw him he saw them.

“Ah, it is good to be back. Running in the streets, and playing with you all. My little pawns.” Dark Dash remarked, “I like the new suit’s by the way, didn’t get to see much of that last time did I?”

“What do you want, Dark Dash?” Asked Tarin.

He laughed, “What everyone wants, to live. You already know I’m dying, you know I am. I need you to live so I can live, that’s why I’m playing this game you’ve made.”

Max pointed at the man, “We never started any game! You did this, from the beginning.”

“From which one do you speak of?” Dark Dash asked, “Oh right, where are my manners? I must introduce you.” Multiple figures either appeared, jumped, flew, or walked out from the shadows. “This is my team.” They all either looked brainless, insane, or just evil in general.

One was a man who’d appeared out of nowhere, and bowed. “It’s nice to meet you Red Dash, I’ve heard you’ve been a problem to my friend here.”

Tarin laughed, “I think you have it mixed up.”

The man looked at Max, and laughed. “You think this puny man with a few muscles can stop us? He’s but a bron with no brain.” Max grunted.

The person that flew with what seemed to be electricity introduced herself next, “Ah, what tiny heroes. I can’t wait to zap them to dust.”

The next person to, um bark? I don’t really know what they did, honestly I don’t know if I should even call it a they. It was a man-like creature, but it had features on animals like fur, snout, claws.

Dark Dash sighed, “We call him the beast.” Dark Dash motioned to the next and final person, “This is Quakeviper.”

Eithan came over the intercoms, “Terrible naming honestly.”

The man who was introduced seemed to have multiple electrical attachments to him, one being he didn't have a mouth and his body was coated with metal. A robotic voice came out saying something like, "I Am Quakeviper, you are dead.”

Tarin sighed, “This is a super weird supervillain team, and you're an evil madman.”

Dark Dash nodded as if proud of himself, “Aren’t gods mad?”

Tarin ran at arch nemesis, and attempted to throw a punch at him to the face. Dark Dash was too quick, and elbowed Tarin in the back and threw him back to their team's side. Tarin got up, and slowed down time. The fight raged on for what felt like hours to Tarin and Méndez, but what was really minutes. Tarin made a few good shots at the bad guys, but Méndez was another story. Tarin kept helping his friends, and beating up the new random back guys. But Méndez kept getting in the way, as I guess made sense but still it was annoying. Tarin shot lightning bolt after lightning bolt at Méndez, but was just so much faster than Tarin. He at times phased through Tarin’s lightning bolts, and once he phased right through Tarin to get away from him. A weird strategy. Tarin was tired; he ran back to helping his friends, but they weren’t doing too well either. Aaron was fighting on the lightning lady in the air. Max was being mind challenged by ‘Master of the Mind’. Quakeviper was throwing rocks at Colton, and Colton was trying to deal with whatever The Beast was at the same time. They were outnumbered, and Tarin didn’t think they had a chance. Not very charismatic today.

“Hey guys, I hate to say it but I think we need to retreat.” Said Tarin.

“Please yes, I can't fight these two!” Said Colton.

“This Voltress is doing something, she’s not getting hurt at all by my blasts. I think we need to retreat as well.” Said Aaron.

“This Mind guy is so weird, I just want to get away from him honestly.” Said Max.

Tarin sighed, “Back to base everyone.”

They all retreated in different ways, and while they were the bad guys kept trying to follow them. Except Dark Dash who was yelling something…

“Keep running Red Dash!” He yelled, alright I’ll run. I’ll run for my friends.
