DanZero and his Capping brigade stood outside the schoolyard, keeping a close eye on the boy who would be scientist. He brought BlakHat1, MedusaD, GersonK, YibbleGuy, and Rizzz with him.
"Hey, Dan" BlakHat1 asked "How come there's still a war going on in the future if this kid invents a gas that'll kill the Kortac?"
"According to Opus, the Kortac are wearing special environmental suits. Kortac figure if there is no deadly gas, then conquering the world will be much easier."
Medusa walked over to DanZero and BlakHat, "You guys aren't going to believe this, Gray just contacted us. Soon as we're certain the kid is going to be safe, we're all to head to Washington, DC. Kortac will probably go after the President next."
"Damn, they're not picky on who they assasinate, are they?" Rizzz asked
YibbleGuy looked around, "Should we go ahead and leave? Doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary."
As if to say "I told you so", a strange sound came from the opposite side of the school yard. A dimensional vortex opened up. Some of the school children ran to the school building. The others, the future scientist included, simply stood there, too scared to move. Then, nine armed Kortac jumped out of the vortex. The vortex closed behind them.
The Cappers ran towards the middle of the school yard to save the kid. The Kortac also ran to the middle of the school yard to kill the kid.
"Nine of them, six of us" Gerson said
"Yea," DanZero added, "better tell them they need to go back and get more Kortac. Medusa..."
Before he could finish, MedusaD fired a shot, hitting the Kortac that was closest to the kid. She then grabbed the kid and teleported away.
"Ummm, yea, ok." said Dan "Now the rest of you...."
The rest of the Cappers were firing at the Kortac who were trying to keep up with what was going on. They weren't expecting the Cappers, although one of them heard Martac tell them to watch out for the Cappers just as they were going through the vortex, but Rizzz shot his head off before he could regret not listening closely.
"Yea, fire at the Kortac..." DanZero said, then he started firing as well
Behind the slide
Medusa peered around the slide and watched the fight. So far, the Kortac were losing.
"I wonder what's going to stop them from coming back after you?" she asked the boy
"ME?!?!" he exclaimed "What did I do? Who are those guys? Who are you?"
"They are the Kortac, we are the Cappers, and you will become an important scientist that will develop a gas that will become deadly to the Kortac in the future."
"Screw that. I'm gonna be a NASCAR driver. It's obviously a lot safer."
The Battle
The Kortac communicator bleeped. One of the two remaining Kortac turned it on.
"Good work," said the voice from the communicator "the future has changed. You did a good job. Return to base"
The communicator clicked off
"Well," said one Kortac "They don't have to tell us twice."
The other Kortac fell to the ground, shot by Yibbleguy.
The remaining Kortac ran trying to activate the vortex. He felt something sharp go through his back, which was all he felt before dropping dead. DanZero walked up to the lifeless Kortac and removed the sword he had thrown at the Kortac.
"The ZeroBlade" he said, "Never leave home with out it."
Medusa and the boy joined the others as they placed bands on teh Kortac corpses. One by one the Kortac disappeared.
"There we go," Rizzz said, "Now there is no trace of the Kortac being here."
"Who are you guys again?" the boy asked
DanZero stood up straight, the sun was to his back, making him appear like a comic book super hero. "We're the Cappers. We are on a never ending battle to protect the Earth from evil such as the Kortac."
"Oh," the boy said, uninterested "Ok, well, I have to get back to class. Thanks for saving my life, and all. You might want to get out of here before the police arrive."
As the boy walked off, DanZero had a disgusted look on his face,
"I can't believe that kid. He has no respect."
GersonK shrugged, "Hey, you tried to impress him. I overheard the Kortac communicator. They said the future changed. But the kid is still alive."
Medusa nodded, "Yea, he's probably a NASCAR champion in 2045 now."
"Oh," Rizzz said "career change. That can alter the future."
Yibble laughed, "Never heard of that happening in a time travel story before."
Dan spoke into his communicator, "Hobbes, mission accomplished. Teleport us over to Washington now."
"Yes sir." Hobbes said.
And with that, the Cappers teleported out of the school yard.
Washington, DC
The Gray Zombie and Opus stood outside the White House gates. There were several protesters, Gray wasn't paying too much attention to what they were protesting against. Opus stared at the building.
"It's not there in my time." she said
"Hmmm?" Gray asked, looking around for anything out of the usually unusual.
"The White House, it's not there in my time. Nothing but a pile of rubble."
"Sometimes I wonder if Anarky is the way to go."
"Uncle Gray, you are so weird"
"Yea, that's what makes me me."
Medusa and DanZero walked up to Gray and Opus.
"So," Dan said, "what's the plan, man?"
Gray Zombie thumbed towards the White House, "President is going to make a speech on the lawn....whereever he makes those White House Lawn Speeches. There's also a few world leaders standing there, including the Russian president, who's visiting our fair country this week. We're not only to save our glorious leader, but the rest of the world's leaders as well."
Medusa looked towards the White House, "So, when do you think the Kortac will attack?"
The sound of a dimensional vortex was heard coming from the direction of the White House. There on the front lawn, a menacing looking Kortac stood, with a deadly looking weapon.
Gray looked at Medusa, "Does that answer your question?"
Opus looked at the Kortac, fear in her eyes, "Kraztar."
DanZero ran to the fence "The Kortac from your time?"
Gray grabbed Dan by the collar, Medusa and Opus followed, "The hell are we doing staring at the big green ugly, leave that to the civilians." he then turned on his communicator, "Ok, everyone, it's party time. Hobbes, I need my bazooka."
Press Area
The President and the world leaders stood in fear as the alien creature took out the secret sevice men, one by one. When he finished he turned to the leaders.
"So," it said, "you are the leaders of this miserable rock. Killing you should be simple."
A blast came from nowhere and hit the intruder, his armor protected him from any harm, but he did get the wind knocked out of him. He got up and looked in the direction the blast came from. Several humans stood there, all armed.
"Cappers." he growled
Animebabe turned towards BuckFifty, who had fired at the Kortac, "Big Ugly is still standing." she said.
"Let's just get the leaders to safety." Buck said "Then we'll worry about this guy."
Kraztar smiled, his sharp teeth gleamed in the sunlight, "It will be a pleasure to kill each and every one of you."
Gray Zombie, DanZero, MedusaD, and Opus1432 teleported next to BuckFifty. Kraztar's eyes narrowed at Opus.
"So," Gray said, "did we miss anything?"
"Only this lizard making the usual 'I will kill you all' threat" Buck replied
Kraztar drew his weapon and fired at the Cappers. The shot missed them but caused a huge explosion.
"That bastard missed," Buck exclaimed
Gray Zombie looked around. Kraztar was missing
"I think he meant to miss." Gray said, he looked around again. "Opus?"
Animebabe looked behind the group of Cappers, "She's gone."
"Hobbes," Gray said into his communicator, "Where's Opus?"
"Running down Pennsylvania Avenue, chasing the Kortac." Hobbes replied
"Teleport us to her, now."
"I'm unable to, the Kortac have just activated another one of their jamming devices. Give me a few minutes to descramble the scrambler."
BuckFifty pounded his fist into the wall, "We don't have a few minutes."
DanZero looked towards where Gray was standing, "Looks like we'll have to go on foot....Hey, where did he go?"
MedusaD started heading towards the gates, "Probably running down Pennsylvania Avenue."
The Lincoln Memorial
Kraztar scared a school group out of the Lincoln Memorial. He then turned around only to have a foot smash into his mouth. Opus1432 stood there as Kraztar looked at some of his teeth on the ground.
"You miserable little human." Kraztar growled "I will kill you slowly for this. Just so I can enjoy listening to you scream."
"You are not going to conquer this dimension." Opus said, determined to stop Kraztar or die trying.
"Brave words." Kraztar said, "Is that all you can say, though?"
A slight noise was heard behind the Kortac, as he turned around to see the source of the noice, another foot smashed into his mouth. The Gray Zombie stood there.
With what teeth he had left, Kraztar smiled, "The Gray Zombie. You are a legend among the humans in 2045."
"Well, golly," Gray said, "I'm touched. Not as touched as you were when my foot hit you, but touched nonetheless."
Opus walked around Kraztar and stood next to The Gray Zombie, who gave her a stern look.
"Never run off like that." he said, "Ummm, any Cappers behind us?"
Opus quickly looked behind them, "No, not yet."
"Oh, poopie. We in trouble."
Opus turned back around to see Kraztar lunge towards them.
20 Seconds Later
The rest of the Cappers ran into the Lincoln Memorial, the sound of a dimensional vortex closing was heard from the other side of the statue.
"Where's Gray and Opus?" animebabe asked
Rizzz looked over towards the base of the statue, "There's Opus."
Opus lay unconcious at the foot of Lincoln. Blood trickled down her forehead.
BuckFifty bent down and picked her up. "We have to get her to Capper Central."
DanZero spoke into his communicator, "Hobbes, have you descrambled the scrambler?"
"Yes," Hobbes replied
"Good, as soon as we find Gray, we're heading back."
"I'm not sure where he's at."
"What? He's here somewhere, isn't he?"
"I'm afraid not. I am unable to trace him using the homing device in his wristband."
BlakHat1 looked over at the others, "Kraztar."
"Oh God," DanZero said in a low whisper, "Gray...."
Kortac Earth Headquarters
Martac looked at Gray Zombie, who was sitting quietly in a bubble cell. Martac smiled, Gray Zombie simply stared at him. Martac then left the detention area with Kraztar, who was outfitted with new teeth from the Kortac doctors.
"So," Martac said, "What was the fate of The Gray Zombie? Oh wait, I know."
One of the doctors walked over to Marac, "Sir, you wished to see me?"
"Yes," Martac said with an evil grin, "have you studied the human spine?"
"Only through text, I have never had the chance to observe one."
"Then prepare to remove the spine from the prisoner. Time for his future to come calling a little early."
