-	Godling & Agent Destruction in:  DESTROY! DESTROY! Part  3


An Army helicopter flies at top speed over Asia. In front of it, channeling the power of Perseus flies Godling. Inside the helicopter are Captain Daniels, Sergeant Perlin and a pilot.
    "Fly this baby as fast as you can," Perlin tells the pilot. "The fate of Asia might be at stake here... And the life of a young boy."
    "I'm at top speed right now, trying to keep up with Godling," the pilot says.
    Godling wears a headpiece with a microphone that allows him to speak the men in the helicopter. "I can see the island. I'm going in."
    "Not without me," Perlin says. "Looks like a job for Agent Destruction." He pushes on a button on his belt, the Destruction serum gets injected into his bloodstream and he starts to change from soldier to stone-skinned, camouflage-colour monster.
    "Get in, take out the baddies and bring back the kid," Daniels orders.
    Agent Destruction answers with a growl and a thumbs-up. Then he jumps out of the helicopter.
    In free fall he passes Godling who is flying down towards the island where the large base of the Phoenix Group can be found.
    The terrorists see them coming. Several of them, driving jeeps point their guns skyward and open fire. Godling channels the invulnerability of Achilles and stops flying. He drops down in free fall, just as Agent Destruction is doing. Bullets cannot harm both superhumans.
    Agent Destruction lands on top of a jeep, totally destroying it with his weight and velocity. Godling lands with his feet on two terrorists who are KO'ed.
    Agent Destruction picks up another jeep and throws it right into another. A big explosion follows, terrorists flying through the air.
    Another jeep comes driving at Godling. Besides the driver there's a terrorist using an M-60 machine gun mounted on the jeep. Godling throws a lightning bolt at it. It explodes with a loud BA-BOOM, sending the two terrorists flying as well.
   Agent Destruction growls. Godling says, "I agree. Those were easily beaten. Let's get inside." He points at the dome-shaped base of the Phoenix Group in front of them.
   Agent Destruction smashes the heavy doors of the building and Godling follows him inside.
   In the hallway of the building more terrorists await, firing their guns at our heroes. They fire both regular bullets as well as some space-age laser guns.
   With the speed of Hermes the One Man Pantheon evades shot after shot, punching and kicking at the terrorists using the martial arts training given to him by Ares, God of War himself. Agent Destruction is just a human tank, barrelling over the bad guys, every now and then destroying some weaponry with the bolts of heat he is able to shoot from his glowing eyes.
   The heroes battle their way further into the compound until they arrive in a larger room where they find the mother of Akeem. She is sitting on a chair, hands bound behind her. Tears are in her eyes. She is flanked by two armed guards and a woman with red hair, dressed in a black leather dress with a big firebird emblazoned all over.
   "Hello, heroes. You are here for the boy, I presume?" she says. "My name is Isidore and I am the leader of this particular cell of the Phoenix Group. I think it would be best if you surrender before the woman is killed."
   "No, it would be best to let the woman go before we really get angry," Godling says. Agent Destructions grunts in approval.
   Isidore laughs. "Such bravado."
   Agent Destruction attacks Isidore as Godling speeds to Akeem's mother. He punches out both guards before they can react.
   Isidore says, "The Phoenix gave me some amazing powers. You are no match for them." She is surrounded by a glowing aura that resembles a firebird. She fires a blast of heat at Agent Destruction who moves toward her, glowing, smoking, but not giving up until he reaches her.
   Godling frees Akeem's mom from her ropes. She tells him, "They took Akeem to the powerplant. They want him to destroy it."
   "Hades! I have to stop him. Agent, I have to hurry. Can you deal with the terrorists? I'll  get this lady out of here."
   Agent Destructions grunts and backhands Isidore, sending her flying through the room.
   "Guess that's a yes," Godling says and picks up Akeem's mom in his arms. He flies off with her. He flies her into the Army helicopter.
   "Take care of her. I've got a nuclear disaster to stop," he tells Captain Daniels and flies off again.

The nuclear powerplant. A helicopter lands in front of it. Akeem steps out, flanked by six armed Phoenix terrorists.
   "Just blast it," one of the terrorists tells Akeem.
   "That will kill all of us," he says.
   "Don't worry about that. We will all be reborn," the terrorist says.
    "Are you nuts?" Akeem asks.
   "Do it, or your mother dies," the terrorist tells him.
    Then Godling appears from the sky, landing in front of them. "STOP!"
    "Step aside,'' the leading terrorist says, pointing his rifle at the Olympian Prophet.
   "No way. I'm stopping this craziness," Godling says.
   "Kill him, or we kill your mother," the terrorist tells Akeem.
   Akeem sighs. There are tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry..."
   His eyes start to glow, he fires his deathray at Godling. The hero braces and takes the impact. He is left unharmed, the invulnerability of Achilles protecting him once again.
   "What? That's impossible?" the terrorist says.
   "I make the impossible possible, you should know that," Godling says.             "Akeem, your mother is safe. There is no need to do the bidding of these monsters."
  "Nonsense!" the leading terrorist says. "He's trying to trick you."
  Godling hands his earpiece to Akeem. The terrorist tries to prevent it, but     Godling slaps his hand away. "Put this on, kid."
  Akeem does and listens. "Akeem, this is your mom. I'm safe. Don't listen to those madmen."
  Akeem balls his fists and screams. A blast comes from his entire body, disintegrating the terrorists, leaving only dust in their place.
  "Easy, calm down!" Godling says.
  "I'm tired of these men!" he says. "I'm going to kill them all."

Inside the Phoenix Group base Isidore is hovering in the air, the firebird aura shining even brighter. 
  "I WILL defeat you," she says and blasts Agent Destruction.
  The supersoldier falls. Smoke rises from his body. He tries to get up, but Isidore blasts him again.
  "I will KILL you," she says.
  "No, I will kill YOU," a voice says. Then she is disintegrated.
  In front of her, eyes still glowing is Akeem. "That's for kidnapping my mother."
  Godling rushes into the room. "So you can teleport as well, Akeem?"
  "I can do ANYTHING!" the boy says.
  "Akeem, please... Be careful with your powers," Godling says.
  Captain Daniels steps in the room. "Kid, take it easy. Please come with us."
  "Why would I come with you?"
  "We can help you learn to control those powers."
  "You want to keep me a prisoner? You're scared of my powers, right? I killed some people. That means you want to lock me up in jail or something, right?" Akeem's eyes start to glow.
  Godling puts a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Easy, easy... I won't let them just lock you up. You're just a kid in way over his head. But I do think it's necessary you learn to control your powers."
  "NO!" Akeem screams and he fires a blast from his eyes. Daniels ducks and the beam passes over his head.
  Just at that moment Akeem's mom walks in. "Akeem, please don't hurt any..."
  She can't evade the blast. It hits her and she just falls apart. Only dust is left.
  "Oh no! What did I do?" Akeem cries. "Mom! Nooooo!"
   Godling holds up a calming hand. "Take it easy. Calm down. Please..."
  "I killed her. I killed her... I can't live with that..." Akeem cries and his entire body starts to glow, brighter and brighter until... He explodes. There is as little left of him as his mother.
  "NO! Please, no!" Godling yells as he protects Daniels from the blast with his body, channelling the invulnerability of Achilles.
  Agent Destruction turns into Perlin. "Oh crap."
  "It looks like the threat has been taken care of," Daniels notes.
  "You cold bastard!" Godling punches him in the face. Daniels falls on his ass.
  "Guess he had that coming a bit,"Perlin says.
  Godling stands before Daniels with a clenched fist. "I hold you responsible for this. Why did you take his mother down here?"
  "I figured she'd be able to talk some sense in the kid," Daniels says, still on the floor.
  "You scared that kid into doing what he did," Godling says.
  "Nonsense! That boy was just too young for the power he had. That's what happened. That and those damned terrorists. I was just trying to protect this world, just like you."
  "I'll be keeping an eye on you, Captain Daniels," Godling promises. "And if you pull something like this again I'll take you down."
  "You really think it's a good idea to take on your government?" Daniels says, getting up.
  "I'll take on anyone and anything if it serves justice and protects the innocent," the One Man Pantheon boasts.
  "Listen, Godling. I'm sorry about what happened," Perlin says. "And I'm sure the captain is as well..."
  "Yeah, right... You've been warned," Godling says and runs away with the speed of Hermes. Outside, he flies up and away.
  Daniels and Perlin watch him go.
  "You think we'll have to fight him in the future?" Perlin asks Daniels.
  "We might. But we'll be ready," Daniels answers.
