GBS Maximum Edition

                                                           Mind Over Matter
  (Note: I renamed the series)
  Jeremy Powers had gone into hiding, leaving his son, Patrick Powers to take over the company.
  Patrick Powers walked over to a physicist, lecturer, scientists, and inventor named Mike Michard.
  "I want you to return my father a favour for investing in your company," Powers said.  "I need you to take care of a problem."
  "What?" Michard asked.
  Powers grinned.  "Not what.  Who."
  Hanson walked down the streets of Old 4G City.  It was rare that Greyshots were without their armour.  Hanson scanned through the area.  The technology was so unlike today's.  There were cars with wheels, lifts with buttons to push instead of being voice-activated, and guns that shot bullets instead of lasers.
  Sunddenly, Hanson heard a scream coming from downtown.  He suited up and ran towards downtown only to see a man wearing a black coat and goggles shooting civilians with his rifle.  Hanson tackled the man to the ground.  The man blasted Hanson with his rifle.  Hanson stood up and threw a metal disc at the man that knocked away his rifle.  Hanson charged at the man and punched him in the face.  The man stood up, grabbed his rifle and retreated.
  The next day, Powers was heading for his office.  Inside the car with him was Michard.
  "I tried taking down a Greyshot yesterday," Michard said.
  "Then you did a tubiliferous job," Powers said sarcastically.  "You ran away."
  Michard shrugged.  "Hey, I didn't have a choice.  He was beating me."
  "Then maybe you shouldn't have gone to face a Greyshot just armed with a gun," Powers said.  "I want you to face that Greyshot again.  So be prepared.  And this time...win."
  Michard headed back to his office and started making upgrades to his gun.  And after hours of hard work, he was ready.  He put on his black coat and goggles and headed for downtown.
  Once there, he started shooting people with his gun that now had multiple functions.  One was to turn people into slime.  Another was to shoot a stunt ray.  And one was to shoot poison darts.  The next one was to shoot tiny missiles that exploded on impact.  The final one was to shoot a lightning bolt that could turn people into idiots.
  Suddenly, Hanson leaped down from a GBS Falcon jet and knocked Michard to the ground.  Michard shoved Hanson away and started launching missiles at him.  Hanson turned and hid behind a pillar.  The missiles collided with the pillar and they exploded, sending Hanson flying.
  Michard walked over to Hanson's unconscious body and was about to zap him with his idiot ray when suddenly, Ethan appeared and punched him in the nose.  Michard's goggles flew off, revealing his face.
  Ethan immediately recognised the face.  "Your Mike Michard, CEO of MichardEnterprises!"
  Michard put on his goggles, zapped Ethan with his stunt ray and escaped.
  Powers stepped into his office to see Michard waiting for him.
  "GBS knows who I am," Michard said.  "I can't show my face or use my name anymore.  And it's all your fault!"
  Michard aimed his gun at Powers who sat down on a chair.
  "That's not going to solve anything."
  "No, but it'll make me feel better."
  "But you have the power to make others suffer now.  Remember, it's better to be feared than loved."
  "But what about my face and my name?"
  "The face is no loss but if you miss your name, I'll give you a new one.  Professor IQ."
  "Professor IQ?"
  "Yes, now go do some damage!"
  Professor IQ started to wreak havoc in 4G City until Greyshot Silver Team arrived to save the day.  Professor IQ started shooting his idiot rays at the Greyshots who quickly ran.  Professor IQ continued firing until suddenly, the gun stopped working.  Professor IQ quickly slotted in a battery-like object that he pulled out from his belt into the back of his gun and it started working again.
  Hanson, who had witnessed that, thought, So that gun is powered by battery-like objects that runs out after awhile.  So all I've gotta do is stall until the power and take Professor IQ down.
  The others thought the same thing.  Isaac ran over to Professor IQ at supersonic speed and grabbed his belt.
  Professor IQ smiled.  "I know what you're trying to do.  Stall until the power runs out.  This thing still has another hour before it runs out.  Imagine all the damage I can do in an hour."
  Professor IQ turned and ran, causing as much damage as possible.  Isaac tried to run after him at superspeed but Hanson stopped him, saying he had other ideas.  The Greyshots chased after Professor IQ until he finally stopped.  He looked at all the destroyed buildings and dead people.
  "Look at all the damage I've done! I can still do more."
  "But look at the time," Hanson said.  "It's passed an hour."
  Professor IQ tried firing his gun but to no avail.  Leon ran over to Professor IQ and knocked him unconscious.

GBS The Complete Package

                                                           Brightskull
  Jeremy's scientists had found a way to replace his body with a new one.  Their first test subject was a man named Victor Frost.  The scientists placed Victor in pod.  Victor struggled to break out.
  "Let me out of here!" Victor cried.  "I didn't ask for this!"
  A scientist pushed a button on the control panel and there was a sudden flash of light.  Victor screamed as his body started changing shape and size.  After a few minutes, the scientist pushed the button again and the light disappeared.
  Bang! Bang! Bang!
  Victor slammed the pod's door and it exploded open.  An ugly creature stepped out of the pod.  It was muscular and had a deformed face.  Its body was green.  It had fangs and sharp teeth.  The creature growled and ran off.
  The next night, Greyshot Bronze Team were stopping a car driven by a group of bank robbers.  The Greyshots landed on top of the car.  The driver tried to shake us off but to no avail.  Chapman smashed the window and grabbed one of the bank robbers.  He threw the bank robber onto the road.  Jonathan knocked the driver unconscious, causing the car to lose control.  It crashed against a wall.  Keith, Gabriel and David carried away the unconscious bank robbers and tied them to a lampost for the cleanup crew to pick up.
  Just then, Gabriel spotted an ugly creature running past them.  It pushed, scratched and knocked away anyone that was in its way.  Gabriel ran over and tackled the creature.
  "What is your problem?" Gabriel asked.  "Don't answer that.  With a face like that, anyone would know the answer."
  The creature pushed Gabriel away.
  "I don't want you!" the creature growled.  "I want Powers!"
  "Powers?"  Chapman repeated.
  The creature quickly ran towards Powers' office building with the Greyshots chasing after it.  As usual, reporters were gathered outside of the building, hoping for Powers to come down so they can get an interview with him.  The creature pushed past the reporters and into Powers' office building.
  "Powers!" the creature called.  "Powers!"
  Just then, the creature spotted Powers walking down the hall.  It ran over and grabbed Powers by the throat.
  "Remember me?" the creature asked.
  Powers gasped.  "Victor?"
  "No," the creature replied.  "I'm not Victor anymore.  I'm the Goblin!"
  The Goblin threw Powers out of the building.  Suddenly, Powers' skin started shedding, revealing his radioactive skeleton.  The reporters started taking pictures of Powers mutated body.  Powers started shooting blasts of radiation at the Goblin.  He easily dodged the blasts.
  The Greyshots soon arrived.
  Chapman pointed to Powers.  "I'll take the walking skeleton.  You guys take the green freak."
  Chapman socked Powers in the face and asked, "Who are you, anyway?"
  "Don't you recognise me?"  Powers said.  "I'm the mutated Jeremy Powers.  But you can call me Brightskull."
  Brightskull started shooting Chapman with radiation blasts.  Chapman quickly turned and ran.
  Meanwhile, the Goblin was busy beating the Greyshots.  He easily flicked David away, pounced on Gabriel, whacked Keith, and elbowed Jonathan.  David stood up and threw an electric metal disc at the Goblin.  He stucked onto the Goblin's body and electricuted him.  The rest threw their electric metal disc at the Goblin and got electricuted a few more times.  He fell to the ground unconscious.
  Brightskull jabbed Chapman in the stomach and kicked his face.  Chapman's vision blured and he fell to the ground unconscious while Powers escaped.
  A cleanup crew arrived to pick the Goblin up and Powers' identity as Brightskull appeared on the news.

GBS The Complete Package

                                                           Clownz 
  "Stay back!" a sercurity card said.
  A hyena slashed the sercurity card with its claws and he fell down unconscious.
  "He should have said 'heel'," said a Clown dressed as a scarecrow and holding a Jack O' Latern.
  A few more Clownz stepped into the room.  One was fat and was wearing a blouse despite the fact that he was a man, another was wearing suspenders and was muscular, the last two were thin girls that looked alike and was wearing red boots.  They were trying to steal a high-tech communication device that was worth billions.  But really, the Clownz only need for money was to buy more guns and knifes.
  The fat and the muscular Clown hopped into flying forklifts.  The muscular Clown wasn't used to driving a forklift, so he crashed into a wall.
  "Darn it!" the muscular Clown cursed.
  He drove forward and crashed into the large, dome-shaped communication device.
  "He's really got a delicate touch, Delia," said the girl Clown.
  "Delicate like a moose, Deidre," replied the other girl.
  The muscular Clown started complaining about how he hated ripping heavy junk.  The fat Clown's forklift lifted up the communication device and brought it over to a large hole in the ground.
  "Zip it, Bonk!" the fat Clown called Chuckles ordered.  "Plan's to get in and get out, fast!"
  "It's a school night, boys and girls," I said, landing on top of a pipe.  "I'm gonna have to call your folks."
  Chuckles started shooting me with his gun.  I dodged the lasers as Bonk circled around me on his forklift.  I jumped into the air and threw an exploding disc at Chuckles.  It exploded in front of his face.  I landed in front of Chuckles and punched his face.  The rest of the Clownz charged at me.  I kicked the scarecrow Clown called Ghoul to the ground.  I tossed Bonk over my shoulder and whacked the hyena called Wolf.
  Delia sneaked up behind me and zapped me with a tazer.  My vision blured, giving Deidre the chance to kick me in the face.  Then Delia kicked me.  After that, Deidre kicked me again.  Delia kicked me a second time and I fell to the ground.  Delia sat on me as Deidre gave me repeated kicks.  She was about to kick me again when I grabbed on to her leg and tossed her away.  I stood up with Delia still sitting on me.  I grabbed her arm and threw her aginst Deidre.
  Delia and Deidre stood up and hopped into a forklift.  Bonk and Chuckles did the same.  Together, they lifted up the communication device and flew out through the hole.
  I threw Ghoul's unconscious body against Wolf's and leapt through the hole after the Clownz.  I soon found myself in the skies of 4G City.  I freefalled past Bonk's forklift that soon came after me, causing the communication device to tilt and fall because of the unbalanced weight.
  "Get back here!" Chuckles cried.
  I landed on Bonk's forklift where Bonk and Delia were waiting.  Delia kicked me in the chest.  When she tried to kick me again, she lost her balance and fell off the forklift.
  Deidre, who was driving another forklift, went after her sister.  Bonk set the forklift to autopilot and punched me in the face.  The communication device and Chuckles crashed into a road.  Chuckles spotted electricity shooting out from the communication device.  He quickly ran and took cover just as the device blew up.
  Bonk stangled me.  "You have a death wish, Greyshot."
  "And here I thought I was just being a good citizen," I said.
  Bonk raised his fist and threw it down.
  Bam!
  Deidre had managed to catch Delia while I punched Bonk in the face. But it wasn't enough to make Bonk let go.
  "Flagpole," I warned, tilting my head.
  Wham!
  A flagpole knocked Bonk off the forklift.  He quickly grabbed on to the flagpole before he could fall to the ground.  The forklift crashed against a building.
  Kaboom!
  The exlosion sent me flying and crashing aginst a water tower.
  A forklift driven by Ghoul and Wolf picked up the rest of the Clownz and flew away.
  I stood up and looked at the damage the Clownz had caused.  "That ain't coming out of my allowance."
 


GBS The Complete Package

                                                           Wail of The Blaster
  Jeremy Powers, who had his skin replaced with an artificial one created by scientists, had hired a cowboy from Texas named Jonah Hexon to kill the Greyshots. Jonah was about to put on his hat when Powers stopped him.
  "Forget the hat," Powers said, opening a briefcase with a suit inside. "Put on the suit."
  Ring!
  A bank alarm went off. 2 men carrying large bags of cash ran out of the bank, hopped into their getaway car and drove off. Greyshot Bronze Team chased after them.
  The members of Greyshot Bronze Team were the team's leader, Chapman. Second-in-command, David. Marksman, Keith. And assult specialist, Gabriel.
  The 2 men drove into an abandoned warehouse and ran out of the car. The Greyshots easily took them down.
  Zap! Zap! Zap! Zap!
  The Greyshots were suddenly knocked down by air blasts, vibrating at high frequency. A figure wearing a blue jacket, metal boots and gauntlets walked up towards the Greyshots.
  "Bet that came as a bit of a shock," the figure said in a strong Southern accent.
  The figure pulled the trigger on his gauntlets and another stream of high frequency air blasts shot out. The Greyshots quickly scattered.
  "And what do they call you?" Chapman asked, standing on top of a pipe.
  The figure thought for a moment. "Call me...well...How's about Blaster?"
  David charged forward and punched Blaster in the chest, only for himself to fall backwards.
  Blaster aimed his gauntlets at David. "Either your punches are as strong as an ant's, or this suit does more than protect me from my own power."
  Blaster pulled the trigger and shot David with a stream of air blasts. The others tried to escape but in vain. Everyone was soon taken down by Blaster. Blaster shot down the pillars of the warehouse, causing it to crumble and to crush the Greyshots as he escaped.
  A GBS cleanup crew soon arrived and managed to find the Greyshots underneath the rubble alive but unconscious.
  Meanwhile, Hexon was playing pool in Powers' office. Just as Hexon was about to hit the ball, Powers pulled it away and crushed it. "You have some unfinished buisness."
  GBS located Blaster at a condemned oprea theatre and had sent Luke to arrest him since they had the same powers. Luke arrived on the scene to be greeted by a blast from Blaster. Blaster pulled the trigger again. Luke dodged out of the way.
  "I do admire your spirit, son," Blaster said. "But not enough to let you go, of course. That'll be bad for buisness."
  "Who's buisness?" Luke asked.
  "Can't tell you the who," Blaster replied.
  "Then tell me the why. What did the Greyshots ever do to you?"
  "Ain't nothing personal, son. Simple truth is if a man's a man, he honours his responsibilities and you're one of mine."
  Luke threw dust in Blaster's eyes and threw a metal disc at him. Blaster easily blasted it into smitherins. Blaster pulled the trigger again. Luke somersaulted out of the way, causing the air blasts to destroy 2 pillars instead.
  Luke looked at the destroyed pillars. "Well, this place is condemned."
  Luke threw a cloth onto Blaster's face which he blasted apart.
  "You know, it really isn't wise to make a dangerous man look foolish," Blaster warned.
  "Don't need my help for that," Luke replied. "Look in a mirror lately?"
  Blaster blasted down more pillars.
  "Talk about incompetent," Luke said. "You've had more shots at me than the criminals I take down."
  "Them boys are punks! This is my profession!" Blaster shouted as he destroyed more pillars.
  "You mean you do this for a living? With that accent, I was thinking rodeo clown."
  "Don't you mock me, boy!" Blaster destroyed 2 more pillars.
  Suddenly, more pillars broke and the building started crumbling. Luke quick escaped, leaving Blaster behind. Blaster screamed as pieces of rubble landed on him, only knocking him unconscious thanks to his suit.
  Luke took a bow. "That's what they call bringing down the house."

GBS The Complete Package

                                                             Electrica!
  Max Dill ws repairing a power line. Suddenly, lightning struck Dill just as he was holding live, high-tension and a wound reel of one-inch cable. Dill screamed in pain. "AHH!"
  Dill was quickly taken to the hospital by 2 passerbys.
  "What happened?" asked a doctor.
  "It was... an accident," replied one of the passerbys.
  "Get him to the emergency ward," the doctor said.
  After a few hours, the doctor stepped out of the emergency ward and was greeted by Dill's family whom the hospital had contacted earlier. The doctor brought Dill's into his room. Dill lay on his bed wearing a grey suit and mask.
  "He's lucky to be alive," the doctor said. "The lightning strike has caused a mutagenic change in Max's nervous system, transforming him into a living electrical capacitor. The suit should be able to contain the electricity. As for now, its better for you to stay here until we can find a cure and return you to normal."
  "What can you guys do?" Dill shouted. "You guys are not going to be able to help! I want out of here!"
  Dill jumped out of his bed and ran out of hs room with his family and the doctor chasing after him.
  Outside, Greyshot Silver Team was patrolling the area when they spotted Dill running out of the hospital.
  The members of Greyshot Silver Team were the team's leader, Hanson. Assult specialist, Isaac. Heavy weapons specialist, Ethan. And marksman, Leon.
  "Thug alert," Leon warned.
  Greyshot Silver Team leapt down in front of Dill. Ethan punched Dill in the stomach and ripped off his mask to reveal a face envoloped with electricity. Dill zapped Ethan with a stream of electricity. Hanson was the next to attack.
  "Come here, Electrica," Hanson said, whacking Dill in the chest.
  Dill screamed in anger and electricity started shooting out from his body. Cars exploded, lights flickered and billboards short-circuited. While the Greyshots were wondering what was going on, Dill quickly escaped.
  The next day, the story about Dill appeared on the newspaper. The Greyshots felt guilty and decided to apologise. They tracked Dill down to a lighthouse beside the sea. Dill sat alone on the floor when the Greyshots walked up towards him.
  Dill stood up. "You!"
  "Yeah...us," Hanson said. " Look, we made a mistake and now we really want to help."
  Dill tossed Hanson over his shoulder.
  "Max, please," Isaac pleaded.
  "I'm not Max anymore!" Dill shouted."I'm... What did you call me?"
  "Lightning bug?" Hanson replied.
  "No, not that! Electrica. Yes! I'm Electrica!"
  Electrica burned off his mask and gloves and blasted the Greyshots with bolts of electricity. Using his power of water, Hanson started shooting jets of water at Electrica. Electrica easily dodged them. Isaac ran over to Electrica at the speed of sound (thanks to his power of superspeed) and jabbed him in the chest. Electrica fell backwards only for Leon and Ethan to kick him out the window. Electrica splashed into the cold waters below.
  Zap! Electrica was electricuted.
  Soon, a "cleanup crew" arrived to pick up Electrica and repair any damages.
