Invincible:Osmosian

Chapter 14: flaxan invasion



Kevin woke up in a dodgy and practically run down room with broken lights and the smell of mould. This was the only apartment building he could find in a short amount of time, and he wasn't in the mood to be picky yesterday.

He felt a mild headache that he did his best to ignore as he got off the bed and stretched his limbs, he looked out the window and saw that it was already past noon and that he slept through the whole day.

"Oh well, I'm unemployed, I can do that."

He shrugged and decided to leave the building. However, before he could take a step, the building shook, and he heard screaming from outside.

"Hm? must some villain attack or something"

He figured before carrying on and exiting the room and going down stairs, however on his way down he noticed that there seemed to be no people in the building, and that the screaming were getting louder and louder.

He frowned and quickly made it down the stairs and then out the door. The streets were empty but he could still hear the screams so he ran towards the direction of the screams.

The building he was in was nestled between two larger buildings, so he had to go around one of them and turn a corner before he arrived at the scene

As soon as he turned the corner he was met by people running away from green aliens shooting at them with lasers, there were countless foot soldiers and a few tanks that exited through an ominous orange portal, shooting their way in indiscriminately.

He saw a blue and yellow hero fly out of the scene carrying a wounded lady. He quickly realised that was Mark, and this was the flaxan invasion.

"Right, in the show, this happens right after omni-man kills the guardians"

He said as he saw the teen team struggling to keep up with the sheer numbers of the oncoming aliens.

He saw Duplikate, struggling to dodge and avoid the continuous attacks from the multitude of flaxan soldiers shooting at her, each of her clones dying, and it seemed she wasn't duplicating fast enough to keep up.

The same could be said about Rexplode, who seemed to be unable to do lasting damage with his exploding pennies on the flaxan armour and seemed to also have trouble dodging and evading attacks, each dodge was a close call.

"Jesus Christ! These guys are relentless"

Rex complained as he breathed heavily. He quickly ducked down to avoid a laser from hitting his face before he quickly threw his exploding projectile, hitting one soldier in the face and successfully causing its head to explode.

Unfortunately, he had no time to relax as he was forced to jump away, avoiding the lasers and simultaneously throwing his explosives at the two soldiers that targeted him successfully, killing them both.

The superhero was winded and he was starting to slow down, his pennies were running out, and they barely did any damage to the sheer numbers of their enemies.

"We can't go on like this. This is crazy!"

He shouted in frustration, but deep down, he felt anxiety, a foreboding feeling that these aliens were too many, and they couldn't defeat them all.

"That's because we're out numbered. Robot, you got a plan? We can't keep up!"

Eve responded, with urgency in her voice as her shield got suddenly destroyed and she quickly created another with one hand and with the other, she shot a beam of pink energy and took out ten foot soldiers, but that was barely a drop in the bucket as they continued to march out the portal.

Running out of weapons, Rex was the first to seek shelter from her shields, allowing himself to catch a small break.

Duplikate, was being overwhelmed, she was duplicating herself rapidly, faster and faster, each clone dying the moment it was created as the flaxans chose to focus on her, rapidly dwindling the numbers of her clones making it difficult for her to increase in number and forcing her to only duplicate as survival measure.

Realising this, she also quickly chose to hide behind Eve's shield, seeing the situation as dire. Eve quickly made a second shield, but this one was bigger and covered a lot of area.

She then moved the shield forward, pushing it towards the aliens, which caused them to stop their advance for a moment. However, their attacks never stopped, forcing Eve to focus on maintaining the shield.

"We need to close the portal, I'm trying to figure out its dimensional frequency it may take a few minutes"

Robot answered, his voice lacking any urgency or tension, as was expected from a Robot, it was eerily calm, which made the others feel a bit unnerved

"A few minutes?! We don't have a few minutes. Those things are going to kill us!"

Rex shouted, feeling more than a little agitated at the situation. It also didn't help that he was the first to have to seek cover and was basically useless right now.

"Rex is right. We need to–"

Kate was about to continue when all of a sudden she felt someone touch the top of her head and caused her to suddenly attack by throwing a punch behind her, the attack landed on Kevin's face and he staggered back.

"Kevin!"

Eve was the first to recognise and call out his name, although she didn't expect to see him here, considering his views on being a hero, although she supposed an alien invasion was an exception.

Kate, on the other hand, was quick to put her guard up and ready to attack again. She recognised the face. However, she was not friends with him and had little reason to trust him.

"Thought I'd let the punch land since I sneaked up on you like that, solid punch, btw"

He said his voice was calm and smooth, betraying the situation he was in. Rex took his calmness as a lack of awareness, but the others saw confidence in his eyes.

The young lad then began absorbing the concrete on the ground and then multiplied himself several hundreds of times. Creating dozens and dozens of his own clones, easily mimicking Kate's duplicating abilities but to a greater degree.

"multi–shadow clone jutsu"

A/N: sorry you guys but the update on this is going to be piss poor, mostly because I tend to get new fanfics ideas and immediately focus on that before remembering that I have to update my other stuff.

It's like when you get a new toy and completely forget about the old one.

Next chapter will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
