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.
