Females Of Evolution

F.O.E.

Episode XLVI

No More Masks

Dr. K is looking back and forth between Misc Mask and the Aura Scanner, he’s unsure where the Aura spike is coming from. The Aura seems to be coming from around them. The ground begins to shake and quake. Looking into the fog now thinker than moments ago, they can’t ultimately make out the full shape of Misc Mask’s body, it’s mostly a ghostly silhouette. They see him looking up at them. “I… I don’t like this…” Jenna whispered to Dr. K.

Molly breaks free of the van, as she stands beside Jenna Molly yells at the Misty Days staff. “Stop you fools, I wanna see how this ends… I can’t help or hurt the situation. I can feel something happening.” As she finished speaking, Misc Mask still staring at them, they start to see blindingly neon green eyes piercing through the darkness of the fog.

Karen yells out to Kristine, “You better watch it, I think that power is…” Before she could finish speaking Misc Mask began transforming into something new. “Like, what the heck, he’s totally changing! But, Kristine like busted up his mask!” Kiki blurted out. Molly stares back at him, not knowing what's happening. Misc Mask’s Height alters, he seems taller, but it’s hard to see as he’s crouching. They feel a sudden burst of Aura from the new form of Misc Mask. He begins to bulk up a fair bit, and after his bulking stopped, he stands upright eyes still piercing through the fog.

“Oh my God! He’s huge… It’s like he’s eight feet tall or something close to it!” Kammi remarks. The fog clears, as a green and red mix of Aura and electricity.

They hear sinister laughing coming from Misc Mask, He walks toward them slowly, but stops a few feet from Kristine. “I want to thank you. You have finally freed me, Your mother thought it’d be nice to give me that mask.” He Laughs slowly, Kristine looks at him puzzled, “Why, why did she give you that!? What purpose did have!?” The fog completely is gone now, they can see him now.

Kristine became instantly shaken by this. She backs up a few steps while being very cautious of him. Misc Mask began his explanation, “You see, your mother knew what would happen if you all faced the real me. She didn’t want that to happen, quite ironic you yourselves set me free.” Kristine questioned him, “Why, Why would she give a crap to let us have a chance? Tell me! Right now!”

Misc Mask unfazed by her rage answers, “It’s not that at all. She didn’t care if you lived or died. She… wanted you to suffer… As a personal thank you to you, I’ll give you a sincere warning… I’m done holding back…”

Kristine backs away, just as she does Kate runs full speed at Misc Mask, She quickly forms her Aura Ice sword. Once she’s in range she jumps up high, she raises both her swords and cross slashes Misc Mask. The force propels her over him. Kate Lands in kneeling behind Misc Mask, then her Aura Ice swords fall apart in her hands. Kate turns around and tries again with both swords, this time the swords shatter on impact with Misc Mask. Kate looks freak out, while still in mid-air he counters her by punching her in the stomach. This launches her several yards away, she’s stopped by Kammi, who catches her mid-air. She sites Kate down, the shirt she was wearing is severely damaged, there isn’t much of it left. Her stomach area that got hit is bleeding quite heavily where Misc Mask’s knuckles hit. Kate spits out a mouthful of blood, “That… hurt…” Kate said before passing out. “Kate!” Kammi shrieks, Kammi stands up quickly, “You bastard!” She screamed at Misc Mask. She hyper-speed dashes at him, She begins to punch at him. Her punches don’t have any effect on him what so ever.

“Beep!” The scanner goes off, “My God, His Aura hasn’t stopped going up yet!?” Dr. K yells. Jenna questions him but sees the readout. “Ah! Run Kammi, He’s above 3,000 now!” Jenna directs Kammi. Kammi stops punching and begins to run around him at full speed, this causes a small hurricane around them both. Misc Mask smirks and turns and elbows her on her way by. This stops her in her tracks, he spins around and knees her in the back hard. A loud pop can be heard, then she spins around to kick him in the face, however, he catches her leg. Before she has time to react, Misc Mask punches her in the shin. This breaks her leg instantly, he then begins to swing her around by her broken leg. She screams at the top of her lungs as he does this. She began to cry, due to the pain.

Unfortunately for her, this doesn’t make him stop, out of nowhere Kristine hits Misc Mask in the face with a Super Aura Punch, this is enough for him to drop Kammi. Misc Mask smirks at her and backhands her hard. This flings her into the Misty Days’ Van. Molly even looks shocked with Misc Mask’s new power, she stares at him as if to say what are you.

Kelly roars at Misc Mask, she makes a mad dash for him. Misc Mask sees her coming, Kelly punches him in the face, she does this multiple times, but to no avail. Kelly now furious does a jumping switch push kick to Misc Mask, the force pushes her back, having no effect on Misc Mask. Kelly goes for a considerable haymaker, however, Misc Mask counters with the same, upon impact it cracks and fractures most of the bones in her hand and arm as well. “Here’s a free lesson on The Jumping Switch Push Kick, watch closely…” Misc Mask said just before doing the attack itself. The force of the push in his version is strong enough to send Kelly fling back in the air. She slams into a not so nearby wall, she is now sitting against it. She quickly passes out.

Kimmi tries a rush with her Inferno Body technique, She does multiple punches and swift speed kicks, as well as low mid and High spin kick. She then uses her Inferno Burst, however Misc Mask counters through the fire and flames and connects with a lunging forward palm thrust, this hits hard and stops all her offense instantly. Misc Mask jumps over her and lands a spinning knee to the back of her head. This knocks her off her balance before she can even move he follows up by sliding forward going ahead of her, and back kicks her in the face. This hits her into the air, Misc Mask finishes the combo by jumping into the air and close lining Kimmi, with the momentum he stays connected to her and slams into the ground with her. He then punt kicks her in the back, sending her yards out of his way.

Out of nowhere, the Aura scanner picks up a signal of 3,400. Misc Mask looks over at Kate, who is now standing. Her skin is now tented light blue, she now also has a white Aura. Misc Mask tries to goes to his full power as Kate speeds toward him, she begins to attack with ice axes, this time Misc Mask takes damage. Misc Mask looks shocked, Kate spins toward him, slicing him repeatedly. Then she pushes him back with a barrage of ice and hail. After the onslaught Kate powers down, Misc Mask smirks at her. “Try this!” He yells.

Misc Mask begins to gather all his Aura, the scanner begins to beep and even cracks. It read 4,000 even, Dr. K screams for Kate to run away. Kate now on her knees shakes her head, “I can’t move anymore…” Misc Mask laughs as he towers over her, he raises his arms as and prepares to a small Aura ball.

Just as he is about to blast and Kill Kate, Misc Mask is hit with a vast Aura Beam, this knocks him back. The Aura scanner reads Misc Mask’s power rapidly decreasing. Misc Mask looks at Kristine, her bang now neon purple and nearly blinds the onlookers. Jenna stares at Kristine, “She’s finally learned a 1.5 Aura Overdrive! I can’t believe it!.”

Kristine shouts at Misc Mask, “Aura Assault!” Misc Mask backs away, Kristine hits him with multiple Aura punches as well as kicks. Then she begins to use the super Aura punches and the standard Aura kicks. This begins to actually push Misc Mask back. The ground under him cracks under the immense pressure. Kristine doesn’t let up at all and just continues to attack him at full speed.

Out of nowhere, Misc Mask punches her in the gut, halting her attacks, he follows up with another oh his signature palm thrusts, however, this time only sends her sliding a few feet. Misc Mask now breathing heavy, and just pouring sweat.

Misc Mask quickly blasts at Kristine, however, Grace jumps in the way, saving her. Molly shock runs to her, Grace hands over her mask, Molly puts her jewel in it and the mask on, her powers return. Molly picks up Grace and takes her to Dr. K. Grace then tells Molly to help the F.O.E. and put a stop to Misc Mask. “Molly… you know… he… he doesn’t love you… I doubt he ever… did…” Grace passed out in Dr. K’s arms.

Misc Mask laughs loudly, “I hate to agree, but… I never did love you… all the love you gave me, was for nothing girl…” Molly turns to look at him, tears in her eyes. “I already knew! I just lied to myself, but now it’s time for you to die!” Molly blasts a massive magma eruption directly at Misc Mask.

The magma blasts into Misc Mask’s body, however, they can see him walking toward Molly while engulfed by the magma. Molly has a look of complete terror on her face, and tears in her eyes. Misc Mask jumps out of the magma and kicks her in the face. This knocks her back several feet, Misc Mask goes for a follow up with a knee to the face. Molly dodges it and uses an eruption punch to punch back Misc Mask.

Misc Mask’s Aura becomes larger and erratic, he looks at Molly, he then smirks at her with a nearly demonic look on his face. Molly creates an igneous armor around herself and rushes to Misc Mask. As she gets close she creates a giant ax and begins to spin like Kate had done before. This does, in fact, damage him, but during the rotation, he punches the ax into nothing but dust. Molly sheds her armor and begins an assault on Misc Mask. He dodges 80% of her attacks, he tries for his combo breaker punch, however, unlike the F.O.E. she counters it with a massive kick to his face, this knocks him down on his back for the first time.

Misc Mask Kip ups, a mini earthquake shakes the area around him. He now looks enraged, “Time to end this battle! Try my finisher out will you? It’s to die for! Atlas’ Globe Aura sphere!” Misc Mask kneels to one knee does an Atlas pose, he then creates a nearly twenty-five foot Aura Ball. He stands up and laughs he turns toward the Van and throws it.

Kristine cuts it off just fifteen feet short of Dr. K Jenna the Van and staff. The Sphere is caught, but the force pushes Kristine back and pushes her legs into the ground. “I, I can’t stop it! It’s too much for me!”

Misc Mask laughs at her as it pushes her ever closer to the others. Jenna runs up to the sphere as well and pushes against it. This doesn’t little to stop it down, “We need more help!” Jenna screams. Dr. K is staring in shock, out of nowhere, winds from Kammi push at the sphere. This slows the sphere very slightly, then flames blast the sphere, Kimmi is on her knees, blasting the sphere with one hand. Kiki slams into the sphere, this stops the sphere for a moment, but it soon begins toward them again. Kiki pushes back at the colossal aura sphere, this slows it again.

Misc Mask laughs, “Ha, No you don’t little ones…” he adds more Aura to the ball, it’s now nearly doubled in size. This pushes then within a few feet away from Dr. K and the Van. Kelly punches at the sphere repeatedly, this slows it to nothing. Kate blasts ice at it, this pushes it back at Misc Mask slowly. Misc Mask rushes toward it and grabs it. This gave the F.O.E. fifty feet of space between them the and van.

“You're fooling yourselves! Just give up!” Misc Mask advised them, as he began to slowly push the sphere toward them again. It moves away from him as he lets it go to them again.

The others all run up close to it, and Kimmi Kammi and Kate use their powers to push it, Kiki, Kelly, and Jenna push it. Karen begins to push it with her mind, this finally starts it moving. Kristine yells, “Try this on for size! Aura… wave!” Kristine puts both her hand together at her side, a large amount of aura glows from her hand. She blasts the Aura Wave at the Sphere, this pushes it back at Misc Mask.

“That does it! The gloves come off, take this!” Misc Mask yells as he flings what must be 100 Aura Bombs at the sphere, it slows to a stop. Misc Mask then blasts his aura at the sphere, pushing it toward them again. Kristine looks at the sphere approaching them, “It’s like a nightmare! How can he be this strong!?” The sphere speeds toward them, just before it get to them a giant stream of magma slams into the sphere, pushing it back at ten mph. Kristine looks at Molly, Molly is openly crying.

Misc Mask catches the sphere and begins to walk to toward them. Dr. K looks enraged, “I’m not going to let it end like this!” He takes out the Aura-Shot and blasts it at the Sphere. Misc Mask loses his grip and the Aura Sphere rolls onto him.

Misc Mask screams in pain, “Ah! No, this is impossible!” Kristine looks at the others, “It’s gonna explode soon… Karen Molly, help me contain it! If we don’t it’ll kill us all, not to mention destroy this entire city!” Molly blasts a shield of magma then a sphere of igneous around it. Karen and Makes a psychic barrier, and then Kristine creates barriers of fire and ice, and Aura, and holds it all down with her our psychic barrier.

Misc Mask lets out one final scream of pain, and the Sphere explodes, killing him, and it gets through the magma and igneous and even Karen’s barrier, it breaks through the fire and ice and goes past the aura. The entire park begins to shake violently, Kristine looks afraid, “Please lord above, give me strength!” The explosion continues to quake the park, then a bright light flashes and the quakes slow down. The explosion slowly buys surely, shrinks into nothing. Kristine runs out of power and loses the final barrier, hellish winds blow in all directions. After a few moments it stops, they are all safe.

The clouds part and the sun begins to shine upon them. “We did it, thank you, God…” Kristine says as she goes to her knees. The staff collects the former Maskettes, except Molly.

She blasts off, leaving them all behind.

The staff begins to prepare to chase her, “No, don’t… let her go, we owe her too much… if she causes any issues, I’ll bring her to you myself.”  Kristine tells them. They all agree and take the girls back, but stop suddenly. “Grace, you okay?” Kate asks her, “Grace?” she doesn’t respond. Everyone is silent, Grace had passed away sometime after Misc Mask’s attack on her.

Time passed by, they had a massive service for Grace, so many people came, Grace was very loved it seemed.

The F.O.E. went home soon after and began to rebuild their lives. One day at a time, they will never forget, Grace and Molly, former enemies, who decided to save their lives, at the cost of one of theirs.
