Final Stand No.5 - Monster Virus

"Help!" Serene screamed. "No! Leave her alone!" Rex exclaimed while shooting a laser at a group of humans. What happened? Well it started when a group of scientists wanted to become world famous. "What can we make?" One of them asked. "How about we create a cure for all diseases, people will adore us for that!" Another one suggested. "Let's get started!" Upon saying that, the group of scientists started on their cure. Months later, they completed the cure and had to find a test subject,they used it on a guy diagnosed with cancer. Sure enough, it killed the cancerous cells. "Yes! We did it, let start selling these and we'll make a fortune!" A scientist told the others in the group. When they started selling them, everybody knew about them and they had indeed made a fortune, they were selling like popsicles on a hot summer day.. But nothing, I repeat nothing is perfect...

A few weeks after they started being sold in pharmacies, the people using the products started having slight coughs and inflammation. They thought they just needed more and soon the products were selling better than before. The amount of users started growing and soon the entire world started using it. The side effects started worsening, the users started having internal bleeding. A few of the users died from it, about a handful. When the product was released, Serene, who was down with the flu saw the product being advertised on television. "Cure for all diseases, Cool!" she thought and headed down to the nearest pharmacy to get a bottle of the medication. "Side effects include, rash, blah blah blah..." Serene mumbled to herself. "Time to test this out!" she exclaimed with excitement. Her flu was cured the next day. "This does work, gonna show this to Rex!" she thought. When she showed the product to Rex, he replied with, "Cure for all diseases my foot, probably just some steroids." "I tried it, it's really effective!" Serene told him. "Whatever, I'm not sick anyway." Rex said before walking away. Weeks later, like the other users, Serene started developing a slight cough. "That's what happens when you take steroids, stop using it." Rex said, no one at that time knew that Rex's sentence would have saved her life.

It was not long before the virus got into the wrong hands, the hands of the super villain, Electrix, a orphan who was shocked by lightning and was granted the power of shooting electricity. He used his powers to make the world tremble before him, he transformed  the medicine into something that turned everybody who used it into a monster. Others who continue using it were all turned into monsters, and this monster disease is contagious which means everybody who gets touched by mutated humans turns into one of them. The next day, almost everybody in the world was turned into a monster. When Serene and Rex were going out, Serene was attacked by the monsters. "Help!" Serene said. "Serene, No!" Rex exclaimed while shooting a laser at the mutated human. Serene unfortunately was still turned into a mindless monster. "Gahh!" Rex exclaimed while literally exploding in anger temporarily blinding the monsters. When he got a grip on what was happening, he went to the office to find Nate and Ryan, but when he arrived at the office, the other two were out of sight. So he walked back home with his eyes glued on the ground. When he reached home, he saw Nate and Ryan on his couch. "What are you doing here?" Rex questioned the two of them. "Well the invasion of the mutants destroyed homes and your estate is one of the only estates that haven't been invaded yet." Nate told Rex. "Let's take them down!" Rex exclaimed. "Save the world!" Ryan shouted. They headed of to find the nearest group of mutants.

"There they there! Hide!" Rex told the others. "Attack them!" Nate shouted while charging at the group of mutants while Rex and Nate shot their multiple colored lasers and Ryan swept the mutants of their feet and they fell to the floor but eventually the trio were overwhelmed by the mutants and were pinned down on the floor. "Grr!" Rex said while gritting his teeth and kicked the mutant pinning him down. The trio got back to their feet and were fighting their way through the mutants. "We'll find the cause of this!" Nate exclaimed while burning off the mutants skin. "I didn't know it could burn human skin, amazing!" Nate thought to himself. When the trio got of the wave of mutants, they saw a familiar face. "Serene!" Rex yelled. But the Serene of old was gone, this was no longer the woman whom Rex immediately fell in love with, this was a mind controlled mutant who's only goal is to destroy the world. She pulled out a whip from her handbag and lashed out at the trio, they were scarred for life with deep marks from the whip. "She's so strong!" Nate exclaimed. Serene then shot an energy blast at them causing them to fall on the floor. She walked over to Rex and pulled out a energy bazooka. "Don't do this Serene!" Rex said hoping Serene would recognize his voice but all she did was pause and took aim again. Fortunately, Rex escaped fast enough and the trio went back into hiding.

When they were in hiding, Serene started walking over to their position. "Uh oh!" Nate said while thinking of a way to escape before she reaches their hiding spot. Suddenly, Nate instinctively ran away from Serene whom saw him and gave chase giving away their hiding spot. "Darn you Nate!" Rex mumbled to himself while running away from Serene. They were cornered and decided to fight it out. "Take this!" Ryan shouted while throwing a punch at Serene but she caught his flying fist and threw Ryan over her shoulder. Rex and Nate then shot a combined blast which was easily stopped by a shot from Serene's energy bazooka. Next the trio decided to attack her all at once, Ryan hit her with a roundhouse kick while Rex and Nate punched her but none of the attacks connected as Serene dodged all of them. Ryan then took the moment to sweep Serene of her feet and that allowed Nate to shoot a laser a her. The laser almost hit Serene when a spark of lightning stopped the attack.

 "Who did that?" Nate yelled irritated that the spark of lightning stopped him from being the star of the show. Suddenly a boy that had the physique of a bodybuilder with the skin color of an avatar appeared out of nowhere. "Who are you?" Ryan questioned. "I'm Electrix, I'm 15 and my hobbies include..." Electrix said before being cut off. "Too much information," Nate said. "Show us what you've got!" "Gladly!" Electrix said, snapping his fingers and suddenly Serene vanished into thin air. Electrix zapped Nate and he stumbled backwards. "Not bad!" Nate said while shooting an energy blast at him. Surprisingly, Electrix absorbed the blast. "How did you..." Nate said surprised. "Simple science, electrical energy makes electrical energy stronger, stupid!" Electrix said before launching another surge of electricity at Nate causing him to roll over in pain. "Who's next?" Electrix said taunting Rex and Ryan.

Ryan charged at Electrix jabbing him in the abdominal. "That hurts, not as much as this will!" Electrix exclaimed in a fit of anger while tossing an energy ball at Ryan. He used his break dancing skills to dodge the attack. "You little pest!" Electrix yelled shooting a barrage of energy blast and one hit the target knocking Ryan down. "Not so tough now are you?" Electrix said obnoxiously. "Die!" Rex shouted grabbing a piece of steel wire and used it to tie Electrix up. "Let me go!" Electrix exclaimed trying to break free using his lightning surge but the surge was directed back at him because of the metal wire. "Metal conducts electricity doofus!" Rex mocked Electrix. "I'm not dumb, and no-one calls me that!" Electrix shouted zapping to the nearest electrical socket and pushed Rex to the floor. "Take this! Ha!" Electrix shouted while giving Rex a taste of his fist. The trio was on the ground unconscious and when they came back to their senses, they were tied up and put in an electric cage. "Finally back to your senses, well I've had enough fun so I'll be exposing the antidote to the world. "What? Why would you..." Nate asked curiously when he was cut off. "Truth is I'm a little lonely and bored, you dudes entertained me so I had enough fun and I'm releasing the antidote on the world." Electrix explained. "By the way, can I play with you three more, it's so fun!" He asked with a tone that makes him sound extremely excited. "Sure, why not," Rex said. "But release my wife from your spell." So they met up every Sunday to spar and hone their skills, eventually they got stronger than they ever imagined.
