Excerpt From Final Battle

Final Battle is a short story that I have published online. Though I wrote it recently, the story is connected to my childhood. With our vivid imaginations, my friend and I used to invent stories of superheroes and villains. Let me present an excerpt of the story in the following four paragraphs.

Maynhart and Evilio had grown so powerful that they felt certain they'd soon rule the whole world. The incredible strength of Maynhart and the intelligence of Evilio were the greatest terror the world had ever known. Their combined powers were far greater than that of any army the world could throw at them. Now their androids and ships controlled most of the planet. Not even Red Star, White Star, Astrowoman, Tornadoman and the Fruit Group worried them. Their plan was simple but effective: cause so much destruction that world leaders would turn over their armies and financial resources to them in exchange for their lives.

The tidal waves, fierce winds and fires ravaging the earth caused a grim scene. With their powers of destruction, flight and evasion, the two villains were a powerful force. It was clear that not even the world's greatest air forces and armies were a match for their evil powers. The world now faced a dire situation: survive and accept a life of slavery or resist and face annhilation.

Brave resistance groups had made their homes underground in the hope of survival. The problem, though, was that fires and floods now engulfed much of the planet and the villains' supernatural powers defied conventional weapons.

Though outnumbered by seven superheroes, the villains' powers were formidable. Their speed and strength were greater than that of any superhero. To make matters worse, their ice bullets, fireballs, lasers, winds and psionic powers were terrifying.

The four paragraphs I have written here are the beginning of the short story. It continues with the battle and the final moments. In addition to Final Battle, I have also published two children's stories, Forest of Amusement and Forest of Knowledge.
