This is Sonicboy, member of the Ultrakids. I don't have a lot of time, so I'll talk fast.
My sister has been captured by some new villain. I don't know his name yet, but Invisigirl and Laserboy have been doing a lot of research on him. Why he wants my sister is beyond me. Probably for a ransom. But when we find him, I'm going to kill him. Without hesitation.
I've never been more worried in my entire life. I didn't really have anything big to worry about. Until now.
The five of us are riding in the Ultra-Van (I think Veggie boy thought of that dumb name) with Heather circling above us in electricity form. She probably wants to kill Sonica's kidnapper as much as I do. She'd probably be faster as well. I don't mind. She's my sister's best friend.
For the past five minutes we've been chasing this black Lexus in which my sister is tied up in. Odor boy is a pretty good driver, despite the fact that we need to change the seat afterwards. Invisigirl is controlling this weapon she invented that's sitting on the top of the van - some sort of machine-laser gun. Really cool! Unfortunately, there are several other black Lexus cars behind us that are giving us trouble. Veggie boy shot a couple carrots at them, but they're gaining on us.
That's it. Invisigirl has given us the thumbs up. Laserboy, Veggie boy, and I grab our airborads and open the back of the van. Then we jump out.
Airboards. Invisigirl invented these a couple weeks ago and they are insanely cool. I didn't really understand how it works (I rarely understand Invisigirl at all) but she told us that the way it floats is by some sort of air cushion underneath the board, created by an invisible bubble mechanism, propelled by a mini-rocket attached on its sides. I have no idea what I'm talking about; just saying what Viz said. In my own words, it's basically like snowboarding on a highway.
We starting boarding. Laserboy is pretty good but I'm the best at this stuff. We slow down a bit, letting the other black Lexus cars get closer to us. That's when Laserboy shoots holes in the tires. I emit a sonicscream, blasting one car into the air and over the railings. Veggie boy is throwing more carrots. I need to teach that kid one day how to fight for real.
Good, we took out most of the cars. Invisigirl's laser machine gun can take care of the rest. Now to get my sister.
Heather is already ahead of us. She standing on top of the car, trying to retrieve Sonica, who I think is unconscious. This villain is smart. He knows we can't destroy the car without hurting Sonica, and taking advantage of that.
Oh snap. His accomplice in the back seat has a gun...and he's pointing it at Sonica! Maybe if I do a sonicscream, Heather can catch Sonica in mid-air. No way, too risky. What should I do?
The accomplice rolls open his windows and fires two shots at us, smacking the ground. "Malcolm says that I may kill the girl if I see that you are not backing off! Back off NOW!"
We have no choice. We start to back off. But I'm not completely done.
In my pocket is a magnetic tracking device Invisigirl made just for me. I toss it lightly onto the back of the Lexus. Then I back off, watching the car drive away into the distance.
The three of us climb back into the Ultra-Van. Invisigirl has the position of the car displayed on her laptop computer. Heather also climbs in the van with us.
"What's the plan?" she asks.
"We're going to follow it at a far distance," says Viz. "Then when the car stops moving, we'll resume the chase. Heather, prepare to do some shocking."
"Should I kill them?" asks Heather.
"I want to do that," I put in.
"If you don't have any other choice," says Viz. "But be careful. Sonica's life is at stake here. The slightest pause can give Malcolm or his assistant enough time to pull the gun's trigger."
"His name is Malcolm?" I ask.
"Malcolm Hills," Invisigirl replies.
