Squire Pyro and the Justice League - Part 3

[kerl126]

Here is part 3 of what is most likely going to be a 4-part series now.



"This is Pigman Broadcasting, bringing you the latest throughout the world right to your eyes," the introduction to the station blared out of the TV, before switching to a different voice.

"Welcome back, this is Zisteau. For those of you who are just joining us this morning, you are going to be in for a surprise. As today, at 9"17 in the morning, a bomb has gone off at Belfast Town Hall today, where the members of Parliament are meeting to prepare for the ceremony today.It is most likely that the ceremony will have to be cancelled. Onto our correspondent, Cleophas, at ground zero."

"Thank you, Zisteau. I have received word that while the other members of the parliament are safe and well, Prime Minister Jason Boulderfist and Deputy Prime Minister Robert Moran are still missing in action. The crowds here are so crazy that the town hall has been sectioned off, and any journalist unfortunate enough to be stuck outside will have to stay outside..."

While Cleo was saying those words, another reporter, the same reporter that crashed the pre-ceremony party, can be seen pleading with a police officer.

"Who are you?" The police officer asked the reporter.

""Paul McCorey, Daily Mail," he told the peeler.

"Get lost, mate. No one's allowed here," the police officer told Paul.

After thirty seconds more of protest, Paul McCorey found himself being escorted away from the town hall.

At that point, Jeremy turned off the TV, and turned to the owner of the house, John.

"Can you believe it, John? A terrorist attack on our town hall!"

"Yeah, and Rob and Jason have been taken hostage by that terrorist organization as well, "John responded. "What now?"

"Well, Jeremy and I will have to do some detective work now, as there is an ongoing mystery: What happened to our Prime Minister?" Chris responded to John's question.

"Then, I guess I could say 'Good Luck'." As Chris and Jeremy left John's house, the three of them exchanged goodbyes, and John closed the door behind them. The two of them started trekking east, back towards the city. They crossed the bridge that traverses over the river that separates John's neighborhood from downtown Belfast.

Suddenly, Chris tripped over a wire that was randomly on the curb, and nearly fell into the sewer beside the curb.

Jeremy, after helping Chris back up and after analyzing the wire a bit, commented, "Chris, this wire goes down into the sewers itself."

"That's interesting, Jeremy."

"Yeah. If my suspicions are correct, we're going to have to go down into the sewers."

"In that case, I'll go first, and you watch my back. This might take a long time, and we do not know what is below us in the sewers."

Chris entered the sewers first, followed by Jeremy, and the navigated the sewers where the wires went, which is mostly to the north. After a while, however, Chris noticed a red-and-white item stuck in the edge of the sewer.

"Hmmmm... That's interesting. Jeremy..." Chris said, "I found some C4 here."

The explosives expert responded, "Chris, that's not C4. That's TNT."

"Why the heck would anyone use such a crude explosive as TNT?"

"I don't know, but there's more to the north of us."

Jeremy and Chris traveled farther north to investigate the series of TNT along the sewers, before they heard a crash above them, as Paul McCorey fell into the sewers as well.

"Ow!" the reporter exclaimed, before realizing who was in front of him. "Oh hey, can I interview you?"

Chris turned around only to see the same reporter who crashed the party earlier.

"We're busy. SO please come back some time later, " Chris said, before turning back around and catching up to Jeremy.

Paul, refusing to give up that early, ran after Chris, shouting, "Please!" behind Chris and Jeremy.

Jeremy shouted behind him, "Can't you see we're busy?! Now, shoo!"

They reached the end of the sewer line, where the wire now goes up to the surface. Paul climbed out of the sewers, thinking that the two have already gone up, but Chris had other ideas.

"Jeremy, don't go up yet. I found an arrow pointing up at the previous sewer entrance."

Jeremy backtracked, and indeed, there was a hole in the ceiling, with, to the shock of Jeremy, noise, voices, coming from above. The two of them climbed up through the hole and burst through the lid, where they found themselves in what seems to be someone's basement. They were greeted by what looked like a prisoner of war camp, a prison of some sorts. Two people were sitting there, tied up and unable to move.

Jeremy said, "Oh my God!"

Soon after, Chris shook his hand, and shouted at his buddy, "We have to help these guys!"

Chris ran over to the first prisoner, and untied the rope binding him to the chair behind him, and then took off the bag over the prisoner's head. Jeremy did the same with the other prisoner. When they were finished, one of them began, "Thank you guys..." but was interrupted by Jeremy.

"You two aren't safe here. It's best for you to escape while you can, before whoever kidnapped you returns. You know this all too well, Rob!" Jeremy told them.

"Well, how are we supposed to escape then?" Jason asked.

Jeremy travelled up the stairs and walked to the front door. After looking outside, he remarked, "There are two motorcycles outside. Here, take these keys, and travel as fast as you can away from here."

The two former prisoners hurried outside, where the motorcycles were waiting for them, and scrambled on top of them. A roar was heard outside, when the motorcycles accelerated to eighty miles per hour, and raced the street until the two were only dots in the distance.

Jeremy turned around, only to see Chris looking at a note on a table. After a few seconds, Chris passed the not to Jeremy, and he began to read it.

"Nuke to be set off in Downtown at noon. - Squire Pyro."
