She laughed, and said "Can you imagine the fees I could charge for it?  And it's not even illegal, you know.  No issues with bombs and crap either.  No hijacking!"

"Oh yeah..you'd be nonstop busy..but when would you have time for me?" he said, with a fake pouty face.

  She laughed, and said "I'd give only specific times I'd be 'porting people!  I wouldn't work ALL day every day."

"I hope not.." Jeff said grinning. "Everybody deserves a day off to...um..well, spend it with someone special right?"

  Candy chuckled, and said "Well, for instant transportation, what would a 'reasonable' rate be?  Ten thousand dollars per trip?  I'd be able to get away with working one day a week at that rate!"

"They also better supply you with complimentary meals too...that's a lot of work..."

  Candy nodded, and said "Yeah, well, if it's ten grand per trip, and I worked eight hours, and only made two trips an hour, that would be $160000 in a day."

Jeff nodded and replied "Yeah, that will be quite a huge payoff in just one day."

  Candy chuckled, and said "Yeah, that would be a good paycheck, and more than cover a month's expenses."

"Yes it would.." Jeff replied. He then suddenly looked he was alerted to something.

"Oh man...Meg is in trouble..."

  Candy asked softly "Where?  Tell me and if I've seen it, we're there."

"Ozzy was at the mall..I'm guessing that he's still there, and that's probably where he saw Meg get snatched.."

  Candy tugged him to his feet, and a second later the 'world' dropped out from under them and they were in the mall parking lot.

-------->> Mall thread!

The man Called Energize smiled as he tested the hostages bindings one last time. Satisfied he looked to the skies. They should be arriving any minute, and then the battle will begin. He couldn't help but smile.

>>From the Streets>>

Canine was whistling a tune as he began his stroll through the park... until he found what seemed like 20 people tied up. Surprised, he brought himself on high alert, knowing just being around he could be next. He didn't notice anyone near the hostages.

A golden streak flew over Cnines head and the golden guardian landed in front of Energize. "Alright so whats your game?

  Ex had his 'fluidsuit' on, so that his form glistened ever so slightly.

"My game is rather simple. YOu bested me in combat with the help of your friends, this has besmirched my honor I cannot regain it until I have defeated you." The man smiled smugly crossing his arms.

  Darren said "Here we are, just the two of us.  Can you take us?"

"Indeed I do" ANd with that he thrust out his left hand firing a blast of intense heat at fluid!

  Being in liquiform, he was subject to a 'flash boil', and he dropped off of Ex to make sure he didn't boil HIM.

Ex flew straight at Energize as Fluid dropped off of him.

Energize fell backwards onto the ground firing a bolt of electricity upwards.

  Fluid oozed his really HOT self around Energize's feet, hoping to distract him with a boiling puddle!

Energize aimed down and fired an even HOTTER blast at FLuid.
