Captain Muscles: Revenge of the Amazons

[Race's Girl]

Chapter 1- First Contact

A three-man island tractor hovered over another ridge on Paradise Island's rocky surface. This was the first manned expedition to an all female island and the explorers inside where very excited. The driver looked at the radar hearing a slight bleep. There was a green dot showing up in the corner over to the right. "Look at that." the driver ordered to the other two.

"Looks like we're not the only people on this island," stated one of the passengers. "We'd better take a look."

"Okay, then." the driver confirmed and turned the vehicle to the right.

The group spotted something in the crater ahead ten minuites later. The driver stopped the vehicle at the lip of the crater and they looked at what had shown up on the radar.

"Sweet mercyful crap." said the second passenger. In the center of the crater was a city of some kind with tall buildings. They were different to the ones on the mainland but it was obvious what they were.

From the city emerged a group of women. They approached the island tractor at an increasing speed. They seemed to have large gun turrets at the top, which unnerved the men. "They're gonna attack!" the driver told his passengers.

"Arm the lasers!" ordered the first passenger. The second one leapt out of his seat towards the weapons control, and aimed them at the oncoming vehicles.

"Fire!" shouted the first passenger. The second obeyed firing a laser stream at the women. It hit one of them and she fell to the sand until she moved no more.

"Good goin'." the driver yelled trying to put their tractor in reverse. Suddenly, everything went dark. The three humans where silent.

"They cut the power..." the driver whispered, unable to see anything. Suddenly, the whole vehicle roared and shook and tipped on one side. The three men screamed as they were flung into the roof as their island tractor rolled down the crater.

A week later, the Secretery of Defence handed the President of the United States a document. The President opened it up and read through it quickly. "And these things are definatly hostile?" the President asked, without looking up.

"Without a doubt," the Secretery of Defence answered, confidently. "They destroyed our Paradise Island vehicle, killing the three men inside. We were sent a message soon after and they say that they'll destroy the men of Earth in retaliation."

"Retaliation to what?" the President asked.

"We beleive the men attacked the women on that island first, Mr. President." the Secretery of Defence answered.

"And how were you able to understand their message?" the President asked realising that it would be a remote chance foe other worlds to speak American as half of Earth didn't anyway.

"They were using our language." the Secretery of Defence replied. "We're not sure how. But with your permission, I'd like to allow our secret organization, Spectrum, handle the problem."

"Very well." the President said, handing the document back. "I hope they can stop these Amazons or we're all screwed."

"Amazons?" asked one of the Spectrum agents. He had brown hair and blue eyes and was wearing a blue uniform. The overweight grey haired man behind the desk wearing white looked at him.

"That's what they called themselves," Colonel Alfred 'Al' Grey answered to Roger Svenson's question. "It's now obvious that there's life on islands. However, they're considered extremely hostile and are threatining to destroy the men of Earth."

"How do we stop them?" Warren 'Potsie' Metcalfe asked the colonel.

"We're not sure right now. We've been ordered to look after the situation," Al replied. "We've discovered that these Amazon women can possess human beings and this is how they sent a transmission to us."

"What can we do about it?" Roger wondered aloud.

"We beleive these Amazons can possess people on Earth. They may try to build an army on our own planet. We need to find any Amazons and kill them." Al answered.

"You mean kill?" Potsie asked knowing the answer before it was given.

"Once an Amazon takes over the body, the person is dead. So yes. They need to be killed," Al answered. "You must be warned, these Amazons are extremely dangerous."

Suddenly, Lieutenant Charles 'Chachi' Griffiths spun around from the radio desk.

"More've been spotted. We've got their location." he stated. Al nodded.

"Okay. Potsie, Roger, Fonzie, Chachi, this'll be your first Amazon attack. Be careful. Dismissed." The four agents stood up and walked out of the room.

Roger gripped his assault rifle as the Sectrum Persuit Vehicle was driving him and his fellow Spectrum agents to their first Amazon encounter. None of them realy knew what to expect. The briefing they'd had had told them that those possessed by an Amazon were as easy to kill as a human. There was allegedly four Amazons in the warehouse and nobody knew what they were doing there.

The SPV stopped suddenly outside the warehouse and the three agents jumped out into the rain and Potsie in his Captain Muscles unifrom landed on the ground. It was almost dark and the agents quietly ran over to the back of the warehouse. They reached the door and Potsie looked at Fonzie. He signalled for them to to climb to the roof and get in the second floor and for Roger and Chachi to use this door. They nodded and Captain Muscles and Arthur 'Fonzie' Fraiser ran to the pipe in the corner. Captain Muscles started to climb first and Roger watched the two agents as the rain hit down on them hard.

Captain Muscles finaly managed to reach the second floor window and peered in. Nobody. He opened it as quietly as he could, and jumped in. He landed on his feet silently, his stealth training coming in handy. He leaned out of the window and helped Fonzie inside then looked down to Roger and Chachi. They nodded and quietly opened the door.

Roger and Chachi entered the warehouse and Chachi quietly closed the door. They both turned on their night vision goggles and everything in front of them came into clear, green view. Slowly, they made their way along the narrow, wooden corridor to where the voices were coming from. They reached an opening to the main section of the warehouse and could see five men standing around the room. Roger tightened his grip on his gun waiting for Captain Muscles's signal for attack.

Captain Muscles and Fonzie crept across the second floor towards the railings where voices where coming from. Captain Muscles signaled to Fonzie to slow down and Captain Muscles peered down to the bottom floor and saw five men in the room. He signalled to Fonzie to go to the stairs and Fonzie silently obeyed. Captain Muscles decided to use his super strength as he his finger against his assault rifle's trigger and aimed down at the nearest Amazon. He aimed carefully watching as the man walked around maybe on patrol. He stopped walking, standing still for a few moments. Captain Muscles hesitated slightly then pulled the trigger.

Fonzie heard the shot, and ran down the stairs, firing at the nearest Amazon. He hit one in the leg, but it spun round and fired it's pistol at him, the bullet passing through Fonzie's right leg. He fell backwards and onto the ground.

Roger and Chachi ran into the main room firing at the group of Amazons as they went. The Amazons fired back and they ducked for cover. They waited until the firing had slowed, then hurled themselves different directions. Roger rolled along the wooden floor firing at two of the Amazons taking them down. Another one fired at Chachi and almost hit him as he flipped behind a wall into the corridor.

Captain Muscles noticed one of the remaining two Amazons fire at him and jumped over the railing grabbing a rope attached to a wooden post and flew up into the air. He landed on the floor and fell onto his back flying towards the Amazon, hitting it squarely in the chest sending it backwards into the wall.

The final Amazon aimed at Captain Muscles but Roger fired the final shot in his rifle just in time, knocking the weapon out of it's hand. The Amazon didn't have time to react before all three agents aimed at it. Captain Muscles slowly walked towards it.

"What the hell are you?" he asked him ready to pick the man up if the man so much as moved suddenly. The Amazon looked up at him.

"You can't stop us, you pathetic man," the Amazon stated. "We know your strengths, your weaknesses... We know how to kick your butts. And we will."

"Not while we're around." Roger told him.

"You're not going to be around for long," The Amazon explained smiling. "You see, we..." Suddenly, shots fired out and the Amazon fell onto his face dead.

The three agents looked up and saw Fonzie holding his weapon at the body.

"Fonz, are you okay," Captain Muscles asked him. "I saw you take a round in your right leg."

"I need my leg fixed. Any highrer and I would've kicked the bucket." Fonzie explained.

"We'd better head back to base and tell Al what happened here." Chachi nodded.

"He's right. Let's move out." Fonzie ordered. Chachi turned around and headed to the exit followed by Roger and Captain Muscles. Fonzie watched them leave, looked down at the body of the Amazon he killed then followed the others.

Chapter 2- Flight To Moonbase

Fonzie, Roger and Chachi sat in the SPV as it sped down the road while Captain Muslces was flying. Roger was driving with Fonzie beside him and Chachi was in the passenger section. It was dark and the rain was still falling heavily. Captain Muslces landed beside the SPV and walked to the back of it just as soon as the passenger door opened.

Suddenly, he felt something smash into his back. He realized a moment later, it was Chachi's fist, as it struck him again, this time in the side of the face. Captain Muscles was knocked onto the ground and Chachi raised his foot to stamp down on him. Captain Muscles rolled to his side narrowly avoiding the foot. As it hit the floor of the vehicle, Captain Muscles grabbed it and threw him towards the door. He jumped up and charged into him, knocking them into the door and bursting through it, onto the road and turning him back into Potsie.

Roger heard a banging noise and looked in the side mirror seeing Potsie and Chachi rolling along the road behind them. "Stop!" Roger ordered opening the door before the vehicle was stationary.

Potsie and Chachi jumped up and Chachi kicked Potsie in the side of the head knocking him across the road. Roger drew his gun and aimed at Chachi. "Freeze!" he yelled. Chachi ignored him and charged into Potsie grabbing him and throwing both of them down the muddy hill beside the road.

Fonzie reached where Roger was standing next to the road. "What's going on?" he asked.

"They're going at each other like crazy. They're down there," he answered pointing down the hill. Bushes and trees blocked their view. "I think Chachi might have the mind of an Amazon."

"Whoa," Fonzie murmured. "We better help Potsie." They both scrambled down the muddy hill, trying to avoid falling over.
Chachi grabbed the back of Potsie's head an lifted up so he was in a kneeling position. Potsie was slightly dazed from the floor and Chachi slammed his knee into his face. Potsie fell onto his back. Chachi knelt on Potsie's chest and looked down on the dazed young man. Potsie looked up at Chachi and saw him open his mouth. He was confused, when suddenly, something shot out of his mouth. It looked and felt like a lump of torn, ragged flesh, as it tried to jam itself into Potsie's throat. Potsie grabbed it with his hands stopping himself from swallowing the parasite.

Roger saw Chachi kneeling on Potsie who was struggling with some strange creature. A pure Amazon. He aimed his handgun at Chachi. He fired three shots hitting Chachi in the butt sending him sideways to the ground. Roger and Fonzie ran over to Potsie and helped him throw the creature over at a tree. Roger and Fonzie fired at it, tearing it into shreds. Potsie groaned then stood up. "Yo, Pots, you okay?" Fonzie asked.

"Not really," Potsie replied. He looked at Chachi. Chachi was still alive and looked up at him. Potsie looked down at Chachi and saw the parasite jump out of Chachi's body turning him back to normal. "Those jerks." he muttered walking back up the hill. Roger and Fonzie helped Chachi to his feet and followed Potsie up the muddy bank.

"Chachi almost turned me into an Amazon too." Potsie explained to Al.

"Thank God he didn't," Al replied. "We almost lost Chachi to these women. I don't plan on losing anyone at all."

"What's the next plan?" Roger asked.

"We believe the Amazons next target will be the colony on the Moonbase. As you know, this base has only just opened up and officials don't want things to go wrong this early, if at all." said Al.

"Why would they attack the colony there?" Potsie asked.

"They'd most likely take over the base because it's close to Earth. We need you two, Roger and Potsie, to go there ASAP because you're the two agents that've got the highest probability of success." Al answered.

"Are you sure it'll be just me and Roger?" Potsie asked.

"Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep," said Al nodding his head. "You boys are promising agents but you're also prize assets and our new Angel pilot Jennfer Jerome's going with you."

"What time do they go tomorrow?" Fonzie asked reffering to Roger and Potsie.

"At 4:00pm tomorrow afternoon at the launch pad. Good luck. Dismissed." The four young men left the room closing the door. Roger looked at Potsie.

"Moonbase. Never thought I'd be going there." he said almost excited.

"Yeah." Potsie replied. "I heard it's not all it's cracked up to be."

Potise, Roger and Fonzie entered the briefing room. There were two men and a dark haired young woman wearing a 'Spectrum Angels' uniform. She walked over to the agents. "Hi. I'm Jennifer Jerome. Heard a hell of a lot about you." she said enthusiastically holding his hand out to Potise. Potsie kissed it like a proper gentlemen.

"You too. You've earnt quite a reputation, Baby." he stated.

"Thanks, Potsie," Jennifer replied smiling. "So, do you guys do this a lot?" she asked Roger and Potsie.

"Go into space," Roger asked. "No. This is my first time."

"Mine too." Potsie stated.

"Oh," Jennifer said. "First for all of us then."

"Guess so." Potsie replied. The other two men walked over to them.

"My name's James. This is Dave," said the taller one. "We're gonna be flying you to the Moonbase," Roger shook their hands. "If you'd like to suit up, then follow us into the craft please."

"No problem." Jennifer stated. They all walked over to their separate space suit lockers to change.

The three agents where in their seats as the countdown started. The engine noise was incredible and the whole experience was one that was fairly frightening. "I hope no one's scared of flying here." Potsie yelled over the noise. The others couldn't muster up a smile due to worry. They heard the final numbers.

"3, 2, 1, lift off." Chachi's voice said over the Intercom.

The ship started lifting off the ground pushing the agents back into their seats. They felt themselves getting heavier and it wasn't a pleasant experience. Soon, it was over and everything was calm. The agents unbuckled themselves and felt themselves floating around slightly.

"Wow," Jennifer whispered. "This is amazing."

"How long 'till we reach the base?" Roger asked.

"About 5 hours." Jennifer answered.

"Not too bad," Potsie stated. He sat back down. "Wake me when we get there."

A large knock hurled Potsie out of his seat and onto the floor waking him up. He looked up as the other agents stumbled around. "What's happening?" he asked standing up.

"We're under attack!" Jennifer yelled as she fell into the wall.

"Damn," Potsie muttered running towards the pilot section. He walked in seeing the pilots struggling. "What the hell's going on?"

"The Amazons... They've got goddamn ships!" James answered.

"Damnit. Where's the weapons bay on this thing?" Potsie asked.

"We don't have one," Dave explained. "We never thought this was possible. Hell, I never believed in aliens 'till I got this mission even then I was sceptical!"

"Okay, then. What now?" Potsie asked.

"Don't ask me, I'm just the pilot!" James said struggling with the ship. Potsie thought to himself and had an idea.

"Keep this thing on course." he said. He ran back into the passenger section and grabbed his helmet and his handgun.

"What are you doing?" Roger asked.

"Saving our butts." Potsie replied jamming the helmet over his head.

He ran to the airlock and opened the first door. He grabbed the lifeline and tied it to his belt then opened the next door and was sucked out into space by the vacuum. He saw the ship nearby. It looked unlike what people had thought alien battleships would look like because it seemed clunky and not majorly advanced. He felt the lifeline stop him go any further and aimed his gun at the ship. He fired, and saw the bullets fly straight through the Amazon ship. The bullets seemed slower and were visible but seemed unable to stop and ploughed through the ship without stopping. It veered back and Potsie fired again, this time at the weapons bay. It ignited it setting off an explosion that engulfed the whole ship.

Potsie shielded his eyes from the blast. When it had cleared, he looked at the floating wreckage then pulled himself along the wire back into the ship.

Roger and Jennifer helped Potsie back inside the ship. "Are you okay?" Jennifer asked.

"I'm okay," Potsie replied. "But they've got ships. That can't be good."

"You've got that right," Roger stated. "We've got another 10 minutes before we reach Moonbase."

"We'd better be careful then. The Amazons might already be there."

Chapter 3- Assault On The Moon

The large metal doors opened to reveal a dark corridor, lights flickering slightly. The Spectrum agents pulled out their weapons, ready for an attack.

"Looks like we're too late." Jennifer murmured. Potsie quietly walked past the entrance, into the darkness, listening for any noises. The other agents followed, and the pilots of the shuttle stayed behind.
Potsie came to a T-junction in the base and signaled to the others the pairings. Roger would be on his own since Potsie was going to team up with Jennifer. Without any noise, the agents went their separate ways.

Minutes passed by like hours. The base was dead.

"I think whatever did this is gone," Roger told himself. He pulled out his communicator and flicked it on. "Potsie, it's Roger. This place is dead, we've missed it."

"I'm thinking that too," came Potsie's voice. "Me and Jennifer are just gonna check this corridor. You head back to the shuttle."

"Affirmative." Roger replied and switched the device off and jogged back in the direction he came from.

Potsie peered round the corner into the room sensing danger. He didn't know why, he just had this gut feeling. Suddenly, a bullet ricochetted off the wall next to his head and he dived back behind it for cover grabbing his weapon.

Jennifer pulled out her gun and dived into the room suddenly.

"Jennifer!" Potsie yelled as he changed into Captain Muscles, saw Jennifer roll behind a tipped over metal table using it as cover from the wave of bullets and spun round to face the attackers firing wildly and yelling at the same time.

"Potsie?" Jennifer yelled peering up from her cover and saw a flying man that seemed to look like Potsie duck behind another table, narrowly avoiding his own death. He jumped up, rolled over the table, and fired. It was dark and Jennifer could make out about 4 men. Amazons. Then suddenly, everything stopped.

Jennifer saw Captain Muscles take a bullet and jumped up, firing wildly. She felt something crash into her. The famous superhero, Captain Muscles. He turned back into Potsie and she was rather stunned.

Roger heard the gunshots and instantly drew his weapon and ran back to the T-junction where he'd last seen Jenifer and Potsie. He reached it and by now the gunshots had stopped. He ran in the direction Potsie and Jennifer had gone until they reached a large room.

Sheets of paper floated in the air, some with bullet holes in. Roger looked around and Potsie and Jennifer lying on their backs behind a table and noticed that Potsie was lying on top of Jennifer. He jumped over it to see them.

"Potsie, Jennifer." he said kneeling down. Potsie mumbled something, slowly sat up and got off Jennifer holding the back of his head.

"You guys okay?" Roger asked them.

"No, we're not okay. We just got the living hell beat out of us." Jennifer replied as she and Potsie stood up.

"We lost the people who shot at us though." Potsie said as Roger looked at power ring which was still on the third finger of his left hand and his right arm.

"Keep pressure on it," Roger ordered. "We're getting out of here."

"We can't go yet," Jennifer retorted. "We've gotta stop these Amazons first."

"Then we'll remote detonate it from the spacecraft." Roger replied.

"We can't, this place cost millions!" Jennifer stated.

"Roger's right, we should remote detonate," Potsie insisted. "If we find the reactor, we can plant some C4 there and around the base."

"Let's do it." Potsie said as they walked through the room and started searching for the reactor.

"We gonna split up?" Jennifer asked suddenly.

"No, we stick together," Roger answered. "This place is too dangerous."

"Found it." Potsie stated pointing to the reactor room.

The three young agents ran onto the shuttle. Potsie punched the button next to it and the metal shutters slammed down. Roger ran into the cockpit area.

"Get us the..." He stopped mid-sentance, trailing off at what he saw. "We've got a problem!" he yelled to Potsie and Jennifer. They ran in to see what he was talking about.

The two pilots layed back in their seats, blood trickling out of bullet holes in their skulls. "Goddamn it!" Jennifer yelled in anger, storming back into the passenger area.

"I can fly us home," Potsie stated. Jennifer and Roger looked at him. "New training procedures, I guess." he explained innocently.

Roger nodded.

"Do it." he told him. The sound of metal being pounded filled the shuttle.

"They're trying to break in." Jennifer stated, looking at the door.

"Potsie, we gotta go now!" Roger yelled at him.

"Okay, okay," Potsie yelled back. "Buckle up!" he added, a hint of jokiness in his voice. The three agents put on their helmets and sat in their seats. They swiftly harnessed themselves in. Potsie looked around at the controls and remembered how to start the craft up.

The massive engines roared into life and moments later, the craft was propelled upwards, back into space, leaving the deathtrap behind. Roger pulled out the detonator from his pocket and looked at the other two.

"Kill 'em all." Jennifer muttered. Roger pushed his thumb down on the red button.

Behind the craft, the Moonbase's sections systematically erupted in a ball of tangled metal and fire until the entire base was nothing more than a wreck.

"How long until we reach Earth?" Jennifer asked Potsie.

"About 5 hours like last time, maybe a bit more." Potsie answered, concentrating on flying them home. Jennifer and Roger didn't reply and leaned back into their chairs.
