Decoded: Origins

“Tyler we get it, you’re angry. That doesn’t mean that you can just kill out of revenge!” Natalie stated. The group surrounds Tyler, leaving him nowhere to go, except further down the ship. So that’s exactly what he did. “Tyler!” Janet yelled. He ran down towards the glass room where his mother, was being held. “Do you see what I do?” Glitch asked. He revealed to the group that his mother, along with other people were kidnapped and explains what he was told.

“Dude, that doesn’t excuse us finding you standing over a smoking insect-human undead corpse,” Alvin said. “Well, how would you take care of it Human Torch?” Glitch said. Alvin stood there silently, looking like an idiot. “I don’t know who that is,” Natalie said. “Don’t worry about it and sorry for almost killing Entomolia, I kinda lost my cool there. Anyway, you guys wanna help me get these civilians out of here?” Glitch asked.

“Got it, I’ll pry those bad boys right open,” “Slow down Hellstorm, I got this,” Glitch says, pushing Alvin aside.

Glitch then rips the Fort Knox style tungsten vault doors from..... itself? Yes, h-he does, Glitch has torn between the doors themselves and gives a huge demonstration of his strength. “How did you do that?” Alvin and Natalie asked. “There’s a lot of stuff I can do, stick around and you just might see them all,” Glitch said, stretching with a smug expression under his helmet.

They help the people that were trapped in Entomolia’s testing chamber. “Thank you all so much. Who are you all?” Tyler’s mother asked. The group wasn’t prepared for that question, they stood there. Later Glitch spoke up, using the D and A in SODA for his disguised voice. “We are The Pantheons,” “Thank you, so much,” She said crying, “I thought I’d never see my baby again,” Tyler wanted to take off his helmet right then and there, he wanted to let his mother know that he was right in front of her.

“Don’t worry miss, we’ve located your son, he is very much safe,” Code Surfer said. She looks back towards Glitch giving him a reassuring nod. “Thank goodness he’s okay,” She said. “You and the horned young man over there both remind me of my son and his crush Natalie,” She whispered, Glitch’s eyes widened, he heard everything because of his heightened hearing, he shoved his helmet into his gloved hands. “You’ve gotta be kidding me, is this what she tells people when I’m not around!?” Glitch thought. “Oh really is that so? We should get you all to a hospital, just to check things out,” Natalie said with her face red as a tomato.

“Glitch, are you fast enough?” Code Surfer asked. “I recently went up to Mach-9 with no effort. I’ll have them all there before the next few minutes are up,” He said confidently. “Do not outstretch any appendages during the ride; keep all mobile devices in your pocket, and please make an orderly single-file line,” He said. And without any don’t with the next few minutes, all the people captured were placed in predetermined hospital beds, courtesy of working for a government project blessed by the President.

“Really Typo, The Pantheons?” Janet asked. “What, It was the best I could think of, plus it has a nice ring to it,” Tyler said, sliding to a stop. “So, Tyler, is there anything you wanna confess?” Natalie asked. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Glitch said, averting his eyes. Natalie sighs, she kinda wanted him to admit his feelings. She reflected on when She and Tyler first met, and it wasn’t on the day of the Singularity. They met shortly after Natalie turned 6, she was crying in a corner because of bullying, and Tyler had come to comfort her. Later that day, a dog had gotten loose from its containment attacking her. Tyler had taken a blow, suffering a head injury, leaving a scar on his left eye. Tyler doesn’t remember the incident after the surgery. Natalie, on the other hand, could never forget that day.

“By the way, Tyler? Did you ever get a lock on where Entomolia will be hiding next?” Janet asked. Tyler then looks up, to notice something had blocked out the sun. “Janet, I don’t think we’ll need that info,” “What you mean... oh my sweet baby Moses!” The rest of the group looks up to see a large cloud of antenna and insect wings. “Hey, I think she released her swarm early,” Alvin said. “Did you figure that out on your own Hawking?” Glitch cracked. “Now’s not the time you two!” Janet said.

“I recommend, we get off the platform we’re currently on,” Brice deduced. “We’ll escape through my shadows, this way,” They all jump through, Glitch saw the Tungsten-Clad boat getting devoured by a portion of the hoard. He heard this before appearing on the other side. “Coe very tree of the land and eat all that is there to be eaten! GLITCH I’M OUT FOR YOUR BLOOD!!!” Looking back Tyler realized something, maybe don’t tick off a villain with the ability to summon one of the 10 plagues.
