## Full Episode

Superhero. Although the word was used as early as 1917 to describe someone of great talents or accomplishments, it eventually came to mean somebody who possesses powers and abilities beyond that of ordinary people, who uses his or her powers to help the world become a better place and stop evil. And ever since magic became commonplace, superheroes became a common thing too. But no superhero was as quick-minded, quick-witted, and well, quick, as the Thunder Hero VoltaiK.

VoltaiK was never the type of hero to use brute force and strength his way through problems. He always preferred the route of taking it....fast? His super speed was one thing, but he is also incredibly smart and able to think of plans right when he needed to, which always fit the situation. There are a lot of very threatening villains in the Monster Legends world, but VoltaiK was very capable of going up against them. Many fans of VoltaiK like to fondly remember the one time he defeated Ultrabot by simply spilling a pot of Nespresso down his neck, shorting out his circuits. A quick thinker like VoltaiK usually made a good hero, and this was pure proof.

Like any other hero, VoltaiK was just a normal dude with thunder powers, but after gaining super speed through a magic potion, he's become one of the most well-known superheroes in the entire Monster Legends world, and certainly one of the most well-publicized. He's had insane merchandise sales and even has his own movie trilogy, but all in all the best thing about his life was saving the monsters of the ML world.

But of course, underneath all the hero work, and the saving people, and the endless mob of paparazzi, VoltaiK is still a monster, and today, he was getting ready for something many monsters do: battle in tournaments.

"And next on team battles, we have the team offff-" the announcer started. "The man-eating iron-eating monster plant, CLIVIA!" The crowd let out a halfhearted cheer as a round brussles sprout looking plant with dangerously sharp teeth stepped out of the door. "And his partner, a glob of pure death, a living mass of watery doom, BLOB!" And out came a giant water monster with humongous arms. It roared in sync with its leafy friend. Then, the announcer turned to the second door. VoltaiK had no idea who his partner was, so he just decided to hope for the best. Maybe it was his best friend, iMigbo? Or maybe his friend/rival, The Firestorm? Perhaps maybe it was that cool looking cowboy he saw the other day? He didn't get any more time to devote more thought to this question though, because his door was opening and he was about to make his grand entrance.

"And for the OPPOSING TEAM..." the announcer roared. "The infamous Thunder hero himself, the Static Speedster, the Light-Speed Legend, the Fastest Monster Alive, VOLTAIK!" VoltaiK zoomed out and started to run around the arena, giving comically low bows to every inch of the crowd.

"Thank you, thank you!" VoltaiK said. "I feel so embarrassed on the inside right now!"

"And his partner..." said the announcer. VoltaiK was almost on the edge of his imaginary seat, as he looked in excitement and anticipation as to who his new partner was going to be-

"The mistress of marvelous, the daughter of Malair, MADAM FUSION!"

Time seemed to stop at that very moment. The daughter of WHO now? MALAIR? The powerful wizard who turned evil after being consumed in black magic? The very wizard that was assembling a team of villains to combat heroes like him? That Malair? VoltaiK zoomed right up to the girl and looked her in the eye.

"Daughter of Malair, eh? Tell me, has he ever told you about me?" VoltaiK asked skeptically. Tk his surprise, the girl only sighed.

"Yes. He has, every day. It's sooo annoying. Always rambling on and on about how you always manage to stop his latest plan to blow up the sun or whatever, it's so irritating. I hate my dad. If I had to choose between not being born or having a dick like him as a father I would have chosen the former all the way."

VoltaiK was stunned, but he wasn't being controlled. He looked right at her and scratched his neck in awkwardness. "I'm uh..sorry for being that up close with you..I just fought your dad so many times that it's uh...very hard to trust anyone with his name attached to them." Madam Fusion gave a sad and understanding nod. "Yeah..I get it."

"Alrighty everybody, it's almost time for the big match! Is Team 1 ready?" The announcer boomed, as his mighty voice bounced across the arena. The announcer is meant by two deafening roars from the two ferocious beasts, as Clivia's long, grassy tongue began flailing in rage. Blob's skin gurgled with malice as it's purple eyes shined in he direction of the two heroes.

"What the hell IS that thing?" whispered a disgusted VoltaiK to an equally revolted Madam Fusion. "I..have no idea! Are we supposed to fight that?" VoltaiK just shook his head in confusion. The announcer turned to the two superheroes. "Is Team 2 ready?" VoltaiK and Madam Fusion looked up and then looked at each other. "Um..sure?" Madam said halfheartedly.

"Alrighty then!" The announcer boomed excitedly. A large 3 turned up onto the huge screen overlooking the arena.

"Well...here goes.." muttered Madam Fusion. VoltaiK could sense a look of disdain from her, despite her having no facial features. He looked at her again, and saw from her body language that she wanted to be literally doing anything but this. "Wait.." said the Hero of Thunder, with a look of sudden realization.  "What are your powers aga-"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" yelled the announcer.

And before the Magic Legendary could say anything in protest, the Hero of Thunder picked her up, bridal-style, and began running around the arena to prevent the two nefarious beasts from getting the first move while the two heroes discuss their plan of attack.

"H-HEY!!" said a flustered Fusion. "WHY ARE YOU CARRYING ME LIKE THIS??" VoltaiK didn't even look down to answer.

"It's the only way I can transport people using my speed. And we need to come up with a plan before we face these two." Fusion made a face.

"You can't just...touch my shoulder and then run?" she asked the Static Speedster.

"Well..I could, but that would be the equivalent of ramming your face into the pavement at a million miles an hour. Imagine faceplanting on the ground, and then multiply that by a million. It's not pretty." he replied.

Fusion only looked down and accepted that VoltaiK's arms was the only thing that's gonna be touching her for the time being.

"So what were your powers again?" VoltaiK asked.

"Well...surprisingly they work perfectly with speedsters like you." she replied.

"How so?"

"Well, I am able to alter an enemies DNA to make their bodily structure extremely weak against Thunder attacks." she explained. VoltaiK nodded.

"Secondly, I can temporarily disable enemies who are able to anticipate your speed."

VoltaiK was astonished. Monsters with anticipation were always a huge pain for him to face. And unfortunately many of them who had the skill were enemies of his who were sick of him always stopping their evil plans.

"That's..perfect!" said the Hero of Thunder. "I think I can put you down now.." He quickly skidded to a stop and let down the daughter of Malair from his arms.

"Oh yeah, I can also do this." Madam Fusion said. Her fists lit up with a purple aura, and concentrated it into a beam of power, in which she directed it straight at VoltaiK.

Suddenly, the Static Speedster felt a sudden surge of power rush through his veins. He felt unstoppable, omnipotent. She gave him her energy, her essence.

"Holy..shit.." the Light-Speed Legend muttered slowly, as he examined his hands, and seeing that it had a purple aura emitting from it. Madam Fusion had practically "fused" her energy with his own, giving him enhanced speed and stamina.

"You're incredible..." he said. Madam Fusion flushed.

"Thanks...but it's only tempo.."

"That is completely fine!" said the Hero of Thunder. "I like to work fast. It's..kinda my thing."

He got down on all fours in a running position. "Wish me luck!" he said, before the Static Speedster took off, and began running around the arena, creating blue and yellow lines along the circular walls. Blob and Clivia looked around wildly, but couldn't catch the hero. VoltaiK was just too fast for them.

"Static Shocks!" yelled the Hero of Thunder, as he raised his fist, emitting numerous balls of crackling electricity towards his opponents. Blob, being a water monster, was devastated by these attacks. VoltaiK then ran into Blob, then began running around and punching it. VoltaiK was attacking from every direction with punches, kicks, and electricity. With a final Electrodynamic Assault, Blob fell to the ground, defeated. All that was left was Clivia.

The iron-eating plantoid beast flailed its tongue, and on many occasions, it almost snagged the Hero of Thunder. VoltaiK quickly zoomed down and unleashed 50,000 volts of crackling thunder onto the Nature monster. The beast staggered as VoltaiK took his chance. He boosted up into the clouds with all the thunder power he could muster. He zoomed up into the sky, and harnessed every volt of electricity he could.

"TEN MILLION...

VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLTTTTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSS!"

He zoomed back onto the ground, followed by a devastating beam of lightning, annihilating Clivia. The Static Speedster rose up triumphantly, zoomed to Madam Fusion, and raised her arm in the air and smiled.

"TEAM 2 WINSSSSSSSS!!" yelled the announcer. The crowd erupted into thunderous (ha) cheers, with the two victorious superheroes standing in glory. The doors to the backrooms of the arena opened, and Voltaik and Madam Fusion walked in, as the door closed.

"So...we make a pretty good team, eh?" said the Light-Speed Legend, nudging his new female friend.

"I guess.." said the Magic Legendary. "But I still want to ask you something."

"Shoot."

"What do you think of my dad?"

To VoltaiK, this was a pretty interesting question. He never really expected her to ask him anything about her dad, the treacherous wizard Malair, especially after what she said about him when they first met.

"Eh..stuck-up, egotistical..pretty powerful....he's always angry for some reason." the Hero of Thunder described. Madam Fusion laughed.

"That was pretty spot-on." She said. VoltaiK suddenly sensed an aura of deviousness from his purple friend. "Hey..whatsay we visit the Supervillains Hideout and give my dad a little visit?"

The Static Speedster returned her sneaky look. "I'm sure he'll be happy to hear about our little win today." And with that, the Hero of Thunder scooped up his female friend, and ran off in search of the Supervillains Hideout.

## Trivia

* In the real Monster Legends game, Electricity has an advantage over Water, which is why VoltaiK beat Blob so easily.
* In the game, VoltaiK and Madame Fusion are canonically in a relationship.
* PGD543 decided to give VoltaiK a persona similar to Spider-Man, as the way he plays in the games was deemed perfect for such a personality.
