Also, fun fact; Most of Inferno was inspiration taken from Frozone.


We Love To Save The Day

"Aria! Hit it!"

Aria's finger clicked on a button on the remote in her hand, and a loud pumping song began to play through the speakers she had hanging on her back. Soon a blaring alarm began to go off inside of the helicopter, accompanied by red flashing lights. The back door of the helicopter began to open up, leading to the outside skies.

Grabbing their parachutes, the new recruits and Dazzlings and strapped them to their bodies. Adagio led everyone to the door, and stood still as she stared deep into the big open skies. She turned around with a giant grin on her face, singing along to the song that played.

Your heroes on the way!

Aria and Sonata jumped out first, equal excited grins.

We love to save the day!

Blizzard and Inferno walked behind, next to go, cheering as loud as they could. The two of them leapt up and jumped off the plane, the wind brushing past their hair.

Gonna reach that place!

Phantom was next to jump, jumping off right behind Inferno's trail.

That takes us higher!

Tox springloaded into the air with his arms and legs out like a flying squirrel, and began to dive down with the others. Tombstone was next to follow, keeping his body close together as he jumped. Now all that remained was Silverstream and Adagio.

Silverstream got a parachute on as ordered, but she stayed close to Adagio. Adagio couldn't help but smile.

"Its okay sweetie. I'm going to help you get down. But when the time comes, I want you to activate the parachute. I'll let you know when that is."

Silver nodded.

"Perfect! Now..." Adagio moved down lower so Silverstream could climb up on her back. Adagio held her legs and Silverstream clutched around her stomach. Adagio's hands reached behind, patting her shoulder.

"Ready Silver?"

"Mmmhmm. One more question though?"

"Shoot!"

"Umm... Do you actually think I have what it takes to be a hero?"

Adagio turned her head to look at her face, and smiled. She patted her again, making her smile back.

"I do believe in you, sweetie. Now hang on! On the count of 3... 1..."

Silverstream clenched tighter to Adagio.

"2..."

She quickly pulled the pair of goggles over her eyes and gulped, praying for her soul.

"3!"

Running, Adagio jumped off and spread her arms and legs, all the while little Silverstream clutched tighter like she was her own personal teddy bear.

The wind blew and brushed past her face and hair, making it all stick up on top of her as she dived. Not too far were the rest of her friends who had began the dive as well. All of them spread like flying squirrels, feeling the cold wind in the air brush past them. As Adagio held her body together like a bullet, she dove through the air even faster, darting past the rest of her friends.

And they could still hear Aria's song pumping beats out of the speaker hanging off her back.

Your heroes on the way!
We love to save the day!
Gonna reach that place!
That takes us higher!

"Okay! Everyone, I want you to look down at the town. Take a good big look cause we're not going to have an overview look for very long!" Adagio shouted as the wind blew past her hair.

"WHOO-HOO!!!!!!" Tox cheered.

"Awww, YEAH!!!" Aria grunted.

"Everyone, we're almost there! City streets at 12:00!"

Their bodies whooshed through the air, and were now getting closer and closer to the cities.

"Okay, sweetie!? You're gonna have to let go!" Adagio shouted.

"WHAT!?" Silverstream panicked.

"Its okay! See the string that looks like you can tug on?"

"I thought that was the string to make it tighter!" Silverstream replied.

"No, sweetie, that releases the parachute! Just pull on that!

"Oh! Okay! That's confusing!"

Silverstream tugged on the string as ordered, and was shocked at what happened next. A big parachute transformed out of her back, yanking on her and taking her off of Adagio's back and into the air making her yelp. Soon one by one, everyone began to deploy their parachutes, no longer diving towards the ground.

Adagio then yanked on her cord, and her parachute opened up.

Now that the parachutes were open, everyone was safely floating down to the ground.

Adagio leaned herself to the right, aiming for the open streets for the landing. Just had to get past one of the buildings, and she'd be okay!

Unfortunately, she failed to take in account of the statues on top of one of the stores which caught her parachute. In seconds, she was no longer floating down, and was now stuck hanging in the parachute above the sidewalk.

"Oh... rats," Adagio cursed.

She looked up, seeing Aria and Sonata begin their descent to the ground. Sonata began to get closer to the ground, and then fell straight into a tree.

"AH!!!" Sonata screamed as she fell through the leaves and branches. Thankfully she wasn't too far from the ground and she groaned in agony as the parachute yanked on her legs and groin muscles.

"Oh my goodness, Sonata! Are you okay?" Adagio cried.

Sonata grunted, her arm weakly raising up and trying to raise a thumbs up.

"This parachute... just... pulled on... owwie, yanked on my... you know what!!!"

Adagio cringed, cupping her groin. She couldn't bear to imagine the sheer pain her sister would be feeling right now. But Sonata was next to follow.

Aria was closer to getting to the ground, ready for a smooth landing. She moved her legs out, ready to stick the landing and run down. Unfortunately she put them out too early, and so once her feet hit the ground, her entire body flipped forward and she fell face first onto the pavement. Her body sprawled once she fell, looking as if she had fallen down several flights of stairs. And the speaker that was on her back crashed right beside her, smashing into pieces and bits, practically done for.

"Aria!" Sonata yelled, wincing again from the pain. "Y-You okay?"

"E-E-Ehhhh..." Aria moaned.

Adagio shook her head, sighing. "Okay, well, no one's dead. Hopefully the others will have a better landing."

Adagio and Sonata looked up into the sky again. Inferno and Blizzard were the first ones to come down. Unfortunately, they could see something amiss up in the air. Both of their parachutes had smacked into each other, as well as the people strapped to said chutes, and it looked as if they were now pointing and throwing their arms around in anger.

"What's going on up there?" Adagio shouted, trying to get their attention.

The siblings couldn't hear their words or virtually anything from how high they were. But as they gradually got lower and lower, they could hear them speaking. Only it didn't sound like good speaking, they sounded bitter. Angry. Enraged. Furious even!

"--Oh, oh, so you're saying I'm gonna be the one getting caught? The red superhero, gets caught!"

"A minute ago you were complaining about me making ice puns!"

"Oh that's right, the fire superhero gets caught!"

But their conversation came to an end real fast, real soon. The two of them drifted away from each other's parachutes, floating down to the ground. Inferno landed safely on his feet on the street, but unfortunately Blizzard's parachute got snagged on a lamppost. Now she was seen danging by the parachute, stuck on the parachute.

She grunted as she tried to tug on her parachute to free herself, to no avail.

"Are you kidding me..." Inferno deadpanned.

"Don't you even start with me right now," Blizzard snarled.

"You can create ice but you can't get yourself out of a parachute!? What kind of super are you!?"

"We were in a rush to get to the airfield and on the helicopter, we got no training and zero warning for a situation involving us skydiving out of a helicopter! You can't blame me for this!"

"Yet you start bustin' my chops about me gettin' messed up in my parachute lines!? That you caused!?"

"Okay, stop! What is going on!? When did this argument erupt?" Adagio intervened, without getting in between.

"We were doin' fine on the jump, and then the minute I have one tiny twist on my finger, she starts bustin' my chops about being caught!"

"Were you?" Adagio asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"No! I was not! But yet she, the one who has ice, gets caught, and that tone, that analyst tone like she knows everything is starting to get on my last nerve!" Inferno huffed, putting his hands on his own hips and staring up at Blizzard who was dangling upside down.

"I may be caught, but at least I won't be hit by a truck!"

"What are you even talking about?"

"I'm talking about the truck that's literally coming your direction."

Inferno turned around and his face just drooped with a deadpan snarl.

"Are you kidding me...", was the last words he said before the truck slammed into him, throwing his body right across the pavement in a comical manner, rolling like a barrel.

Adagio and Sonata screamed, holding their hands over their mouths in fear. Thankfully the sounds of his groaning made them sigh in relief, the man was not dead. Plus they could see Inferno slowly trying to pull himself back up from the impact.

"Well then. We have two teammates who are fighting with each other. Four people can still stop a running truck," Adagio said with some hope.

Speak of the devil, Phantom and Tombstone were next to arrive on the scene. Phantom held onto his parachute, as tight as he could, ready to stick the landing. After his body phased through some of the electrical beams, he pulled his feet out as straight as he could, ready to make the landing.

Without a hitch, he stuck the landing and ran as he hit the ground, trying to catch his balance. Then he unbuckled his parachute and cheered with only his hands raising up.

Adagio herself was the first to cheer for him, giving him a round of applause and a few whistles.

"Alright, that's what I'm talking about! Perfect landing, Phantom! A+!"

Phantom smirked and he did a single bow, like he was standing in front of an audience.

"Now if Tombstone can stick the landing..." Adagio hoped.

Tombstone tilted his parachute to the right, turning himself to aim for the streets. But when he turned, he looked to his left and instantly dropped his jaw in regret. Coming his way was a remote-controlled drone who flew right at his face. He swatted at it, trying to get it away. But then, he made his mistake. He swatted at it with his hand, cutting himself from the spinning blades. But then the drone began to spin out of control.

The drone smacked into his face, making him yell 'OW' from the smack, and then the drone pushed right through one of the lines holding his parachute. The line was cut, and then he began to fall. No longer coming down nice and easy, now he was just falling straight down.

He screamed as he fell, and his body slammed right through the top of a trailer of a big rig. A hole was formed from the fall, and everyone gasped when they saw him fall through. Then a few seconds later, he emerged from the open back of the trailer, spinning around like he was dizzy with several balloons drifting out of the trailer. To make matters even stranger, he had one of the balloons in his hand, clenched in one of his fingers and he looked as if he had sucked on some of the helium from it, as accompanied by the chipmunk sounding voice.

"And beavers and ducks and walnuts and grandma!" Tombstone said, with his tongue lolling like he was drunk.

Phantom stared, completely uncomfortable with the sight in front of him. Even more so when he fell flat on his face, hitting the ground. He tapped his shoulder with just his foot, receiving no reaction. He looked back at Adagio, shrugging.

"Okay, just stay with him, try and wake him up. If he's hurt, then uh... we'll get him to a hospital. Are you physically okay?"

Phantom gave a thumbs up.

"Good. Alright. A heist can be stopped with just three people."

And right at that very moment, Silverstream began her landing.

"Silver!" Adagio squeaked. "You've got this sweetie!"

Silver was getting closer to the ground, and she had her legs out like she was about to run onto the streets like a jet landing on a runway. And without any problems, she managed to get a skip and a quick run down the street without falling over.

"That's the stuff, that's the superhero spirit!" Adagio cheered.

Silverstream reached for the buckles holding her parachute together, freeing her body from the straps and buckles. She let out a big scream of joy, cheering her arms into the air.

"Ha-Ha!!! We did it!" Silverstream squeed as she looked to her mentor.

"You're a superhero, you!" Adagio grinned.

"Whoo-hoo!" Silverstream cheered again.

Now only one left to go; Tox. Everyone's eyes revolved to the skies again, watching as their final member was arriving. He kicked his legs up and screamed as he began to get closer and closer to the ground.

"Good, good..." Sonata clapped her hands. "Maybe when he lands we can--"

But right at the last minute, a strong wind picked up, blowing him to the right. His body slammed right through the glass display of a bakery, shattering the front window and sucking the parachute in with him. The sounds of pots and pans clattering in the bakery echoed to the outside, accompanied by the sounds of splattering food and angry patrons and co-workers.

"--Pulling shards of glass out of your bloody feet."

Expecting him to come through the already shattered window, Tox came out by surprise, this time kicking the door down. The door slammed and hit the ground, shattering into pieces as it too, was made of glass. And Tox came out looking like a mess. Smeared cupcakes and pies were covering him, a cupcake was sticking up on his shoulder, and he was scowling under the piece of cake on his eye.

"Ow, ooh..." Silverstream cringed. "Doesn't that hurt?"

"Yes, very much so!" Tox barked.

Silverstream didn't flinch, but instead she wiped her finger at the white frosting on Tox's shoulders, and she gave it a lick. She smacked her lips and gave a 'mmm' sound in delight. "Vanilla!"

Tox then wiped his finger at the frosting, giving it a taste. "Huh. Never mind, that's not bad."

"Tox are you okay?" Adagio called.

"I'm fine, outside of the glass shard in my foot!"

Adagio cringed. "Owww... um, are sure you're okay?"

"Positive!" Tox replied. "Soo... where did the rest of the team land?"

"Well Blizzard's stuck on a lamppost, Inferno got hit by a truck, not dead thankfully, and I don't know if Tombstone needs to go to a hospital or not, but... there's just three of you still standing. I suggest you three make haste to stop that heist!"

Tox looked around, seeing the destruction around him. Only ones standing were Phantom who was checking on Tombstone, and Silverstream who was cleaning off some of the cupcake frosting from his shoulder.

"Hmm... mind if I look at Inferno?"

Adagio nodded, pointing at the down man.

Tox walked up to the man who was on his back and got down on his knees to try and look at his face.

"Hey Inferno... time to wake up... come on..."

Tox scowled, seeing his unresponsive response. With no idea of what to do, he just threw a slap across his face.

"Wake up!"

No response. Another slap.

"WHY. WON'T. YOU. WAKE. UP!?" Tox yelled as he kept slapping his face, hitting both cheeks.

"Hey! You can stop now!"

"No, no," Blizzard laughed, "Come on, keep going!"

Tox groaned. "No, you're right. Time is short, and we've got a truck to stop. Silver, you're with me, I need an extra pair of eyes with me in the car."

"Oooh, we're driving?" Silverstream asked with some excitement.

"Yes, and I'm gonna need someone to hold the wheel while I throw things with my poor aim, might destroy some stuff."

"Right! Wait, what?"

Tox and Silverstream rushed away, running down the streets to head on their way. In addition, Phantom just phased through one of the buildings and appeared right on the top of the roof of the same one. He waved at the eldest siren, and began running across the rooftops to begin his journey. Now the three were on their way to make chase.

"You know, really thinking about it... we should have spent a bit more time preparing them," Sonata quipped.

"I blame myself," Adagio commented.

"So do I," Blizzard crossed her arms.

"I jumped out a window..." Tombstone slurred.
