The ship seemed to shift into red alert as the power dampeners failed, and all of the assembled teenagers had their superpowers return. Cautiously, Terra tested to see if she could fly again, and she gently rose a few feet off of the ship's deck. She clenched her fists and tensed her muscles, feeling her strength return, and unintentionally showing off her muscular Viltrumite physique through her skintight suit.
"
Here's the welcoming party," she quipped as robotic sentries stormed in.
As they charged in, lasers blasting, Terra weaved and twisted through the air to avoid their laser-fire. There was no telling what they would do if they hit her. Getting close to one, it fired its laser at her at point-blank range, which scored a glancing blow against her shoulder. Terra braced herself, expecting her powers to disappear again, but instead found that it did nothing besides scorch her costume.
"
Dampen this," she said as she clasped her fists together and swung them like a hammer into the robot's cranial unit. The thing was tough, but such a concentrated blow was overkill none the less. The force of the attack practically turned the robot inside-out, slamming its entire upper body down through its legs. A burst of machine-lubricant sprayed from the imploded droid, splattering across Terra like artificial gore.
Unflinching, Terra wiped the technological slime from her face and looked back to the others. "
We'll need a contingency if your plan doesn't work. I'll fly to the bridge and see if I can get control of the ship from there. Unless you can breathe in space, those escape pods are going to be our last resort."
With that, she took off out of the cargo bay. The robots were tougher than the ship itself, and Terra tore her way through walls and bulkheads like they were made of cardboard. Any robots in her path she swung at while still flying at high speed, knocking their heads off their shoulders like whacking a mailbox with a baseball bat. While the ship was unfamiliar to her, it still obeyed basic design principles, and she found the bridge on the ship's highest deck. A single blow was enough to blast straight through the final bulkhead, leaving Terra alone in the bridge to face the robots that had been left behind to defend it.
"
Knock, knock." Was all she said before diving in to battle them for control of the ship.
