Chapter Sixteen

Where We have a Big Splash Page Fight

Ultragoddess looked at Mandy's torn and battered evening dress. “We should probably get you something a little more functional before we head off. Selena?”

The Black Witch nodded and raised her stage-wand at Mandy before saying, “Abracadabra!”

The Black Witch was the avatar of Hecate or her chosen one, I wasn't sure which or whether it made a difference. Created by Professor Thule in much the same manner as myself, she wielded magic by force of will rather than spells or focus objects. As such, she was prone to using cheap costume shop props and generic wizardry words than things used by more “serious” mages.

I'd, I kid you not, seen her kill a man with an Avada Kedavra spell.

The Black Witch's magic whirled around Mandy's tattered attire and then did a swirl of white pixie dust which resembled the effects from the animated Cinderella movie. It was Selena's idea of a joke, I think.

Mandy's attire melted away and she was briefly naked before her outfit was replaced with a black leather costume, long overcoat, and a silver N amulet at the base of her neck. If not for her Eurasian features and the amulet, I’d have said she was a pretty close ringer for Kate Beckinsale in Underworld.

“That's your costume?” I asked, blinking.

“Do you like it?” Mandy asked, smiling.

“Yes and no.”

“No?”

“You look outrageously hot. However, now I’m afraid I’ll be utterly distracted during battle.”

Mandy rolled her eyes.

Cindy interrupted our moment. “Cool costume, but can you do anything?”

“I kick a lot of ass,” Mandy said, staring. “That's enough.”

Cindy looked at her, blinked, and then shrugged. “Works for me.”

“I'm not comfortable teaming up with these guys,” Bronze Medalist said, surprising me. “Gary is okay, he's not like most supervillains. However, Diabloman is a murderer and a madman. I knew the Guitarist and Spellbinder. They were good people and he took their lives or as much did.”

“We don't have a choice,” Gabrielle said, staring down. “We need all hands on deck. Besides, I made this team to redeem the wicked as well as fight evil.”

“There is no redemption in Hell,” Diabloman said, his voice cold but certain. “That does not mean I will not help.”

Bronze Medalist didn't look happy but I doubted anyone would given the situation. It wasn't like the friends and family of the Black Witch or General Venom's victims would feel any different than he did. He would let it go, though, because he was a professional. Both he and the Silver Lightning had worked with worse than Diabloman in New Angeles to protect the innocent.

“Hell is for other people,” I said, making light of his statement. “Also, Heaven. Let's get going.”

Gabrielle nodded and extended the Ultraforce around our group, raising us all up in a bubble behind her which carried us in much the same way as the Shadow Seven. Much to my surprise, Mandy took my hand and stepped forward through the bubble's exterior.

It sloshed around us and I briefly thought we
