Super Zeros

Rerun had been fully prepared for Wonder Warf to shoot his Dip, However, as soon as the Green Liquid burst forth from the nozzle, Rerun jumped onto the ceiling with such blinding speed he could have gotten away with calling it teleporting, the source of his speed having been a jolt of terror hitting him harder than anything had ever hitten him in his Toony life.

"The heck was that?" Rerun demanded with a trembling voice, easily defying the laws of physics and standing on the roof as he looked down at the Green liquid that was smoking on the floor, "What is that?" Saying he had never been scared before would be a lie, but it had been as Spike, not Rerun.

Wonder Warf chose violence over speaking and twisted the nozzle on his weapon before shooting out a much less condensed shot, coating most of the roof with the blast, Rerun chose the smartest option and slammed face-first into the blocked-off entrance, easily tearing through the metal as the Hall of Fallen Hero's was drenched in Dip, several of the costumes obtaining damaged similar to having a powerful bleach poured onto them.

Rerun began bouncing off the walls as he headed for the nearest exit, but Wonder Warf was been ahead of him on that, while the interior of the building was protected by basic security measures, as soon as he hit the alarm the entire museum was coated in a barrier created by Matter-horn, the same kind of barrier used on the Detainment cells in Power Pony HQ, effectively trapping Rerun inside the building, still fully powered, but very much unable to go outside.

As soon as Rerun hit the nearest window to try and escape, and realized he was trapped, he entered a state he hadn't in a long time, Something that Mare-do-well had dubbed his all Friend or All Foe state. Rerun was unbound, and any who stood between him and getting away from Wonder Warf was likely to end up hurt or dead.

Mistress Mare-velous was directing the patrons who had been in the museum to the emergency exit checkpoints, a three-stage exit gate to keep whoever had triggered the alarm inside. With every creature in her section heading to the Checkpoints Mare-velous headed to the Food court, once there she would head to the security center on the second floor to see who had triggered the Omega threat level, something only to be activated for an upcoming natural disaster, or a high ranking villain.

Mare-velous made it to the food court and found two of the three other heroes who were currently in sight. Magneto-mane, and his partner Aim-mane. A non-powered hero whose aiming skills had gotten him mistaken as a powered hero, thanks to a well-fought court case Aim-mane had cleared his name and gotten his parents released from serving a life sentence. He was a newer Hero and a good example of why Mare-velous felt some heroes probably shouldn't be allowed to name themselves.

"Button just kind of ran off," Aim-mane noted.

"Not shocked, that guy's full of himself, just keep in the back Pip, and don't be shy with the Arrows, Rerun won't go down easy if he's here for a fight,"

"Rerun!?" Mare-velous rushed to the two heroes for an explanation.

"Wonder Warf ran off and issued a lockdown, when we checked on his cameras we saw the Toon himself talking to it," Magneto-mane grimaced as he spoke "I don't like it, Wonder Warf's a narcissist, but I've heard him muttering about his brilliant revenge plan, and I'm concerned he's gonna set Rerun off and we'll have to pay the price,"

"You two follow me," Mare-velous called out, being the highest-ranked hero currently on sight she was now in charge of attempting to pacify Rerun. Mare-velous headed to the stairs, only for a sound like a train to penetrate the air as Rerun shot down the stairs like a mad bull, destroying every piece of floor and wall he so even slightly grazed.

He was letting out a scream like the sound of a freight train, smoke billowing from both his hat and mouth as he began bouncing on the walls, Magneto-mane put an electric barrier around them just as Rerun came flying at them, and Mare-velous tried to catch Rerun in her lasso, only just barely missed him as he suddenly ceased to exist before her, just as a green liquid hit the electric Barrier and evaporated against it.

"Dammit," Wonder Warf swore, visibly enraged as he showed off his lack of critical thinking, trying to hit where Rerun already was instead of trying to predict where he might land.

Doubting Wonder Warf's off-brand glue would hold Rerun in place for even a moment Mare-velous chose not to correct his aim and just left him to keep shooting since Rerun seemed unwilling to let himself get touched by the liquid.

"He probably used his powers on Rerun or something," Magneto-mane muttered irritably as he recalled the time Wonder Warf had used them on him, "Probably told him he was afraid of the color green or something,"

"well talk about how stupid this is later," Aim-Mane noted as he slowly tracked Rerun's movements, taking his time to take the perfect shot with his Bow. "For now let's see if we can't lead him to the loading bay,"

"Aim's right," Mare-velous agreed "If we get him in there we can isolate the Barrier and we'll have him ready to be transported to Power Pony HQ within the hour, she let out a low sight as she watched Rerun rocket across the walls, breaking everything he touched and avoiding Wonder Warf's Green Goo like it was the plague.

Not one to stand around and just watch Mare-velous told her two companions her plan and, once the barrier was down she jumped into the air, using her great physical strength to copy Rerun's jumping, avoiding Wonder Warf's sticky solution she waited until Magneto-mane and Aim-mane where in position, silently cursing Wonder Warf for going against protocol and trying to take on Rerun on his own.

After some time of jumping with Rerun and Mare-velous nearly bringing the room to collapse Magneto-mane held up his hands and Rerun slammed into an electric Barrier, as soon as he did this Mare-velous used all her built-up speed to slam her arms down on Rerun, and Aim-mane fired an arrow at Rerun's face just as the Toon landed on his feet, easily shaking off the super-powered hit.

Predictable Rerun used one of his oldest and most well-known counterattacks, he pulled out a stop sign and the Arrow stopped mid-air. Rerun opened his mouth, probably about to tell the Arrow it was flying the wrong way, only to scare Aim-mane half to death when his head turned almost a hundred and eighty degrees instantaneously.

Rerun barely managed to duck out of the way of Wonder Warf's attack, his Dip hit his Stop signs and it was sent to the floor, and having not been told anything else, the Arrow hit Rerun in the face.

Rerun tumbled across the floor and rolled a little way before landing once again on his feet, easily pulling out the arrow and throwing it to the side. Aim-mane fired another Arrow, Rerun clearly about to repeat his Stop-sign gag, and the room watched as Rerun held up his hand, and got hit square in the face again.

This time Rerun didn't move, he just stared blankly at Aim-mane before looking at his empty hand without bothering to pull the arrow out, Rerun motioned his hand like he was grabbing something, and nothing happened.

Mistress Mare-velous was confused until she saw Rerun look to the side, she followed his gaze. On the floor was a gray-scale puddle, the handle of Rerun's stop sign slowly sinking into it.

"You killed my Stop Sign," Rerun whined as he looked over to Wonder Warf, who stared laughing in delight.

"It works," He cheered "My Dip works, Kills Toons Dead. Even better, looks like whatever I shot gets erased! Let's see how scary you are when you don't have a bag of tricks to pull from!" Wonder Warf held up his gun to fire again, only to get blasted off his feet with both Aim-mane and Magneto-mane as Rerun let out the loudest sound he had ever made.

Mare-velous was barely able to stand her ground as the sound of what felt like a hundred Train Whisled all blared out at once, all coming from Rerun's mouth as he raised his foot and slammed it into the ground, in doing so the room, and maybe the entire building began tilting as Rerun repeatedly struck the floor, Mare-velous slammed her hands and hooves into the ground and held on as the building shifted on its axis. After his fifth hit the room was properly side-ways. Mare-velous now looking down at the floor that had once been a wall. the others had been tossed around by Rerun's tantrum and now lay in a daze on the ground.

"You Killed my Stop Sign!" He screamed out "So I'm killing your Museum!"

"Celestia Dammit," Mare-velous swore as the Building began breaking apart, the wall she was clinging to that had once been the floor becoming dangerously close to becoming the ceiling as Rerun slammed his foot down again, he raised his foot to slam it down again when a mare popped into existence next to Rerun.

Trixie and Starlight were in their Common Room looking over the map of Maretroplois, Starlight was just getting down to the nitty-gritty of her plans when the display shut off and a holographic screen filled the space, a Mare was talking to some creature just out of view before coming properly into view.

"This is Coco Pommel, reporting live from the Maretropolis Museum of Heroism," Coco motioned behind her, the Museum glowing a bright magenta purple. "where only a few minutes ago a mass evacuation order was issued following a sighting of Rerun, A.K.A The Toon. Unconfirmed reports state that Mistress Mare-velous is currently on sight engaging in a battle with The Toon, It has not yet been revealed to us if Rerun is alone or if the still-at-large Falling Star is also with him, Eye witness reports of the scuffle near the bay this evening also suggest that this Rerun and the Falling Star seen early today are merely constructs made by the Illusionist, who's powers and indeed moral standing are still an Inigma to this report-"

Coco Pommel, those behind her, and both Trixie and Starlight flinched in pain as a sound that could only be described as an army of Trains letting loose their whistles assaulted their ears, No sooner had the sound stopped did the Museum violently shift on its axis, losing it's Magenta glow as as soon as it did so.

"What the hell was that?" Trixie demanded as the Musume continued violently moving closer to the ground and continued doing so until it was lying on its side half buried. "Was that Rerun?"

"I have never heard him make that sound!" Starlight said "The only time I've heard him make a Train Whistling noise was when he was told about Mane-iac's death," The Musume began shaking as Coco Pommel began describing the scene.

"Don't move," Trixie told Starlight "I'll need you as an anchor to pull the two of us back,"

"Stay safe," Starlight managed to say before Trixie teleported to Rerun's side, she was impressed with herself for managing to land next to him and took care to float in the air as he looked at her, his foot halfway up.

"What happened?" Trixie demanded as she looked around, her eyes falling acusingly on Mistress Mare-velous.

"My Stop Sign's dead," Rerun cried out, his eyes looking like they were melting as he spoke. Trixie sighed, figuring he was the victim of some poorly planned scene to send him off the deep end, and held up her hand to summon the Stop Sign to her, and instead ended up with her hand dripping with ink, She looked at it and tried having Rerun's Stop Sign float in the air, resulting in the puddle floating up to her, the colors in the puddle vaguely matched Rerun's stop sign.

"Oh my stars they killed your Stop Sign," Trixie realized as she tried to force it to solidify, whatever had melted it had left it so unstable that Trixie wasn't able to keep it solid, she could for a moment, but it melted again the second she stopped focusing fully on the effort "I can't fix it!?" Trixie glared around the room, not so much concerned about the sign as she was about what would happen if Rerun was given the same treatment "What...who the hell did this?"

"Ha," A voice called out, Trixie followed it and looked down at some guy with a green water cooler strapped to his back. "Afraid? you should be, thanks to my patient Dip, I can erase anything Rerun creates, and once I've taken everything from him, I'll be giving him a Dip to end his suffering, like a proper hero," Trixie stared at the guy for a moment before creating a Jar and putting the liquified remains of the Stop Sign into it, she placed her hand on Rerun and teleporting them back to Starlight.

Wonder Warf looked around, almost looking Smug, when something slammed into the ground next to him, He jumped and shot at it, hitting Mare-velous as she walked up to him, the Dip causing damage to the colors of her costume. "Ah, come to congratulate me?" He asked proudly "No need to thank me for doing your job,"

"Our Job was to detain him," Mare-velous said angrily "Not try to kill him,"

"He's gone," Wonder Warf said without a hint of pity, "You all need to accept that, he isn't looney or whatever it is you've all been calling him, He's just a horrible person using his powers to get away with whatever he wants, And after what he did to me Mystery I'll be making sure he gets what's coming to him, just stay out of my way," Clearly a line that was suppose to be threatening.

"Magneto," Mare-velous said with a sigh "Detain him," Magneto-mane put Wonder Warf in a electric bubble without hesitation. "The Moron's painted a target on his back, Philly-second should be here in a few minutes, I'll have her take Wonder Warf to your base, This night isn't over yet, and somepony far worse than Rerun will be making her way to Wonder Warf for a visit,"

"What happened?" Starlight demanded as Trixie and Rerun teleported back to the room, Trixie passed her a jar and Starlight looked at it in bewilderment "What's this?"

"The good Heros of this city had found a way to permanently destroy Rerun's creations, they killed his Stop Sign and claim they can kill him too,"

"Ma' Stop Sign," Rerun complained "What if they kill my Anvil too!? That's my favorite gag!" As Rerun flopped to the ground like a fallen tree Starlight looked at the Jar before looking back at Trixie.

"Who?"

"Some guy with a water cooler on his back," Trixie replied with a shrug "Never heard of or seen him before,"

"Wonder Warf," Rerun clarified.

"Trixie, see if you can fix or replace Reruns Stop Sign,"

"It wouldn't be the same," Rerun shot back in outrage.

"He's in mourning don't mind him," Trixie noted in a soft tone "Come on Rerun, Worst case scenario we should prepare a funeral for your dear departed friend,"

"She was good at making things stop," Rerun noted mournfully as he dragged his hands on the ground and followed after Trixie.

"Wonder Warf," Starlight noted with a sigh "And it seemed Rerun failed to get the chip, Guess Plan B it is, this old Villainess has one last act of Evil to enact before she changes her colors, and if this Wonder Warf guy should happen to get caught up in the collateral..." Starlight smiled darkly before pulling back up the map and enlarging a building, The base for a team of Heros who had once been made entirely of Side-kicks, less protected than Power Pony HQ Starlight began pulling up all the information she could about the spot she would be attempting to infiltrate.
