Chapter 14 - 12

New York.

Arthur flew as Spectre towards the school at full speed. 

«Late-late-late-late-late-late," he sped up, covered in white energy.

Abruptly Evans came to a stop, from the explosion that had gone off. This time it was the Juggernaut that had wreaked havoc. 

«Well, not a dog, no...? - the silver-haired man sighed, then landed on the ground. - Hey! Big guy! I got three minutes on you, five minutes tops, get over here!

«What?! The big guy turned round, bumping his fists. 

«What do you hear, helmet head! - he shouted.

«The end of you! - The Juggernaut shouted, then ran at Spectre.

He only made him a bulge in the pavement with his finger beam, causing him to stumble. Arthur then grabbed him by his belt and threw him over himself, punching the asphalt with his head. Then he started to cover him with asphalt as fast as possible using white light. 

«It's not pretty, but it's safe. Evans shook off his hands, then exhaled.

«Hey! Fight like a man! - Marco shouted.

«Waltz away, you clumsy hippopotamus, I don't have time for you," said Spectre, fixing his glasses.

«Who's a hippopotamus, you fatso! - he asked.

«Oh I'm a chubby, am I...? - The silver-haired man asked, then coated his hand with black energy.

He blurted out on his stomach, or rather on his clothes, "Kick me." 

«Now that's good - right after that, Arthur flew towards the school.

«Hey! What did you do there! - Marco asked.

Right after that, the police arrived.

***

Arthur ran towards the school in his clothes. He put his glasses on his forehead and accidentally pressed a button. A small, barely noticeable light bulb lit up. Evans looked at his watch without stopping. 

«Whew... I still have time to do my homework again and make fun of the teachers," he said. 

When he got to his seat Arthur noticed that the class was in some sort of anticipation. He walked over to ask or see the reason. He didn't see a reason, so he went over to Flash and asked why everyone was so excited.

«They say there's going to be a new girl at school today.

«Interesting... - said Evans. 

«No one knows who it is, though.

«Shit, so I could have been late and no one would have noticed...' he muttered quietly. - he muttered quietly.

«Let's go before Gwen drags us to class.

With that, they made their way to the classroom through the crowd.

In the classroom

Arthur and Flash entered the classroom and walked over to Peter and Gwen. They were discussing their homework and didn't seem to notice the news about the newcomer. 

«Yo, team," Evans said.

«Hi," Parker and Stacy said at the same time.

«How's it going? - Thompson asked.

«We're good.

«Did you hear about the new girl? - he asked, sitting down on his desk.

«Do you have more interesting news? - The blonde asked.

«No, unfortunately, or at least the fact that Spectre took down Draggernaught, I'm a living witness," Evans raised his hand.

«How so...? - Flash asked. 

«What? 

«To see a living hero... Well... - he lowered his head. 

Meanwhile, the teacher entered the classroom, after which the bell rang almost immediately and everyone took their seats.

«Okay, class. Meet the new student, or rather student. - Said the teacher, and then a girl of rather short height with very pale, almost snow-white skin, white hair and grey-white eyes entered the classroom. She was wearing black jeans, a green hooded hoodie and grey trainers.

«Hello, my name is Elena. Nice to meet you all. 

Half the guys' hearts wanted to jump out right now. Flash was one of the half. Arthur and Peter shook their heads. 

«Elena, sit over there, behind Arthur, until we find a better seat," the teacher pointed out.The brown-haired boy turned back and saw an empty seat. Gwen was his neighbour on the right, and Parker was in the front. 

«What the hell, it's a good seat... - Evans said.

Elena walked past and sat down at the designated seat. 

«Elena... Elena. Russian? - asked the trainee. 

The girl just clapped her eyes.

«I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself, my name is Arthur Evans, you can just call me Arthur - smiled the brown-haired man.

«That's okay. And nice to meet you Arthur. - She replied.

«Yeah," he nodded.

«Evans! - The teacher suddenly shouted, and he turned round with his hand on his head.

«This is going to be the funniest part," said Gwen. 

«What?" Elena asked.

«Just watch and enjoy the show," Peter said.

«Evans, if you have enough time to talk, can you solve this equation? - the teacher pointed to the blackboard.

«38 degrees... - replied the brown-haired man, propping his head up with his hand. 

«That's... А..? - he just looked at the blackboard.

«A topic...?!

«The notebook is already on the table - Evans pointed at the teacher's desk.

«What kind of student are you? Everyone is either a hooligan, or a nerd, or something in between, and you are something unreal.... - sighed the teacher.

«Well... - he just shrugged his shoulders. 

«Well, since you're so smart, you'll show Elena the school and explain the topics that were, I said everything - he said.

«Well the Japanese god... - The brown-haired man lowered his head. 

«Looking forward to it. - The girl replied and then took out a notebook and a pen.

The teacher only handed the notebook back to Arthur. Evans took it and opened it to the first page. 

«Write it down - said the fallen man. 

After that Arthur began to explain the topics, and Elena silently wrote them down.

***

Arthur and Elena walked through the school and the brown-haired man explained what and where. The white-haired girl listened carefully. 

«Okay, I think I've explained everything, so I'll go - Evans headed towards the exit.

«Thank you," the girl bowed. 

«You're welcome," he smiled. 

The brown-haired man put on his glasses and saw that they were recording everything they saw. And this went on for an hour and a half. In short, from about the time he'd walked into the school. 

«Oh, man. - the hit man took off his glasses and switched off the tape. - Now to charge the glasses... 

Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden explosion. The brown-haired man ran towards the windows, and Elena with him. It was the robot with the Sigma symbol on its shoulder. It differed in that it had extra armour on its shoulders and arms, and its head was also slightly altered. The robot began firing plasma balls at the ground. 

«Oh, shit... - Arthur ran towards the back door.

«Where are you going? - The white-haired girl asked.

«To warn everyone, call the police, any other questions? - he asked, stopping.

«Oh, yes, I'll help," she ran after him.

«You go that way and I'll go this way," the brown-haired man said, pointing in the opposite direction. - Do you remember the way?

«Y-yes," she nodded, and then ran off.

Arthur ran round the corner. 

«I saved myself... - He looked around, then put on his glasses and pressed the button on his watch.

Then his hair became shaggy and silver, and his costume changed. Likewise the mask was put on and the goggles changed. He flew out the back window at the speed of sound and flew to the robot.

***

The robot at this time was not firing at the building, but around it. Suddenly he was thrown back by a bayonet created from the ground. The robot only pulled back, but did not fly away, and Spectre was hovering nearby.

«Target acquired - Said the robot. - You came... - he shook off the impact.

«How else...? Where there is a villain, there is a hero - smiled Spectre, landing on the ground. 

«As you said... Let's get out of here, there's no need for unnecessary casualties - he pointed in the direction.

«Are you the one...? - Evans asked.

«Refurbished and upgraded. With a system upgrade... - replied the robot. - Z-01 2.0

«Cool... - said Arthur. 

«So do you accept the challenge to a duel? - The robot asked.

The silver-haired man smiled, then soared into the air. The robot took off after him. They flew straight in the direction where no humans should be. Both of them even ignored the aircraft carrier that was right above their heads. 

***

Arthur and the robot landed in an abandoned area. 

«Let's go," the silver-haired man stood up.

The robot only put his arms out to the sides, pointing his palms at Spectre. At the fallen drop, Z-01 began firing. Evans, on the other hand, began flying around, dodging lasers. Suddenly, the hitman created a wall of concrete and punched through it. The debris flew towards the robot. He began to destroy them and didn't notice how the silver-haired man was above him and hit him on the head with his elbow. He only did a somersault forward, kicking him in the ribs. Spectre grabbed his leg and threw him into the air. The robot flew, releasing flames from his legs. He slammed his fists into the hero's stomach. Arthur only grabbed his arm and began to unbend it to the other side. After succeeding in breaking the arm, then the robot struck with the other arm, causing the silver-haired man to fly off into the nearest wall. Z-01 then returned the arm to its normal position and mechanical mini-arms emerged from its back and began to repair the breakage. 

«Hey! That's cheating! - shouted Spectre.- It's my normal skill, after the upgrade - said the robot. 

«Well I'm telling you, Cheats - he replied.

«We're in a fight, we don't complain about that kind of thing - he moved his repaired arm. - You yourself used a veil of debris to attack unexpectedly.

«And that's cleverness - Spectre stood up, crunching his neck. 

Then they lunged at each other and began a melee. Arthur parried and countered the blows. Each dent was repaired internally seconds after it was inflicted. 

«Give up, you can't win. With your limited stamina and inability to regenerate instantly, your chances of winning are 24%," the robot said without relenting.

«But my chances of defeat are never zero! - Arthur dodged the blow and then put his hands on the robot's right shoulder. 

He flashed black energy out of his hands. Immediately after, the robot's arm flew off to the side. 

«Error! It can't be repaired! - shouted the robot.

«You can't repair something that isn't there - Evans jumped to the robot arm and picked it up.

«Give it back! - he shouted and then a giant laser emerged from its chest. 

«Mum!" the silver-haired man ducked, dodging the giant beam. 

Spectre began to run away from the beam, getting closer to the robot. When he was very close, he fired two blobs of two different energies. They were the size of baseballs. 

«Get down! - Spectrum flew away from him, hiding behind the containers.

When the two clots came into contact, they gave off light.

«Error! Retreat! - The robot flew from there and was hit by a blast wave.

When Arthur climbed out from behind the container, he saw a big crater. 

«I overdid it. - he said.

Suddenly, a S.I.T. aircraft carrier appeared in the sky, and he was surrounded by heavily armed agents. Spectre raised his hands in the air. Immediately afterwards, a girl came out, a woman in her thirties of excellent build with dark skin, dark brown hair and brown eyes. She was dressed in an S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent costume. 

«Director Fury asks you to come aboard," the girl said. 

«Yeah, I guess I can't say no to that.... Miss... 

«Maria Hill, she said. 

«Can you put your hands and arms down, it's uncomfortable - said Arthur, lowering his arms.

After that the plane landed and Spectrum boarded it under the supervision of the agents.
