Bam outside Astrid and raven coming running

Astrid: hey guys

Raven: we've got company

Blaze: who is it

Raven and astrid in unison: the Universal government

Astrid: and according to my calculations the top 8 are here with like 42 men behind them

Raven: in a dumber version of that... we're cooked

Storm: Let's just portal out

Raven: yeah... we kinda broke it this morning when we were fighting for the bathroom

Storm: fuck

Screen fade out

Now...

Screen fades in

Storm: okay everyone calm down...

Raven: Kinda hard to do that knowing im going to die looking at your stupid faces

Astrid: so we fight?

Blaze: what choice do we have

Storm: fight to kill. No gay bullshit on some I dont kill, or else you will forever eat tasteless porridge on an unflushable dirty toilet.

Raven: As much as I hate killing storm's right

Blaze: shut your bitch ass up everyone knows you like almost as much as Storm

Astrid: Yall need to stop whinging like a couple of bitches and come with a plan

Storm: i thought i already covered that part kill for your freedom.

Raven: yeah seems like a plan

Blaze: hey listen and this might hurt but killing isn't a plan or an option as a matter of a fact its suicide

Raven whispers to Astrid: sorry about earlier he's the buzz killer

Astrid: so what do you propose we do and talk fast before some man come up in here and beat the absolute shit out of us

Blaze: we run

Storm: yeah sorry monkey i dont run

Astrid: and how do we run out there.

Raven: yeah you're plan pretty dumb its like trying to run in between a crowd Taylor swift fans

Storm: whats yalls problem with Taylor swift and where did Trevor go

Blaze: oh he runs when he sees the popo come.

Raven: wait… so Trevor gone-gone?

Trevor from outside: yall on your own love you tho

Storm: nah he's dead to me bro

Astrid peeks out the window

Astrid: THEY'RE HERE THEY'RE HERE THEY'RE HERE

Storm: aight no more talking LET'S—

Door explodes off the hinges.

Top 8 officer Felix walks in first

Dude built like a bulldozer that learned how to bench press.

Felix: Storm. By order of the Universal Government, you are to be captured alive. The rest of you… irrelevant.

Storm: damn not even a hello?

Blaze: bro didn't even blink at us

Felix signals the 42 soldiers

Felix: bring them in.

The entire house fills with armored soldiers moving in perfect sync.

Astrid: oh nah this feels like an Avengers-level beatdown

Raven: aight then… let's turn this house into a battlefield

Storm cracks his neck

Storm: everyone… don't die.

Blaze: amazing strategy

The fight begins.

Astrid activates speed, lightning bursting under her feet

Astrid: TRY CATCH ME YOU GOVERNMENT DICK-TATORS

She zigzags so fast the soldiers swing at air

She jumps, spins, kicks one straight through the living room window

Another gets turned into a projectile when she throws him across the room

Raven charges next

She drags her scythe across the floor, sparks flying

She leaps and slices through two soldiers

Then kicks another into the fridge

Raven: and that's why you don't touch my food

Storm dives into the center

Lightning erupts off him like a storm grenade

Half the room gets blasted back

Storm: WHO NEXT!?

A soldier swings a staff

Storm grabs it mid-air, snaps it, slams him into the floor

Blaze unleashes a fire wave that spreads across the walls

Soldiers dive everywhere

Blaze: my bad in advance if the house burns down

Storm: THIS IS A RENTAL WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO OWNS IT

Just when it looks like the squad clearing the room—

Felix finally moves.

One step.

Just one.

And the entire house shakes.

Astrid: oh hell no he got earthquake footsteps

Raven: Blaze this might be your real dad

Blaze: shut up man

Felix appears beside Storm like he teleported

Felix grabs Storm's face and SLAMS him into the floor

Storm: hey— HEY— CONSENT—

Felix drags him across the floor and throws him through the staircase.

Blaze screams and charges at Felix full fire mode

Blaze: GET OFF MY BROTHER—

Felix clotheslines Blaze mid-air like WWE

Blaze spins three times before hitting the ground

Felix: weak. both of you.

Astrid: how is he this strong??

Raven: this man eats dumbbells for breakfast

More soldiers rush in

Storm climbs out the broken staircase, coughing, bleeding, pissed.

Storm: ok… ok… new plan… RUN LIKE YO NAME ON A DEBT LIST

Blaze: THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS

Astrid grabs Raven

Astrid: MOVE YOUR EMO ASS

Raven: I WAS ALREADY MOVING

The group slips out the backdoor

Storm zaps three soldiers blocking their way

Blaze melts a wall

Astrid speed-blitzes to scout the path

Raven cuts open the fence

They sprint through the woods

Branches slapping them

Blasts flying past their heads

Trees exploding behind them from government fire

Blaze: WHY THEY SO FAST THEY WEARING ARMOR

Astrid: THEY GOT SUPER SOLDIER LEGS OR SOMETHING

Raven: STORM FASTER I DON'T WANNA DIE DIRTY

Storm: I'M RUNNING AT MAX SPEED YOU SPOILED TOOTHBRUSH

Behind them

Entire forest lights up

Felix walking through flame and smoke, not even blinking

Felix: RUN IF YOU WISH. YOU CANNOT OUTRUN HISTORY.

Storm: WHO TALKS LIKE THAT SHUT UP BRO

They finally make it to a cliff edge

End of the road

Blaze: oh yeah we're dead

Storm: no… no we jump

Astrid: WE WHAT

Storm: WE JUMP. I'M NOT GETTING ARRESTED BY A DUDE WITH A BALD HEAD AND ZERO EMOTION

Raven: fair enough

Felix appears at the trees behind them, towering

Felix: surrender.

Storm gives him the middle finger

Storm: eat my ass

Then he grabs everyone and leaps off the cliff.

They fall into the raging river

Washed away instantly

Pulled by current, disappearing into the canyon

Felix stops at the edge and stares down

Felix: Storm… you can run.

Wind blows his coat

Felix: but this isn't over.

He turns to his soldiers

Felix: prepare search squads.

Screen fades black
