Due to an incident many decades ago, the United States has been permanently altered. When humans turn 16 years old, they have a 5% chance of a crystal forming on their body, known as a Hyper Crystal. These Hyper Crystals give a person super human ab...
"I SAID STOP!" Valé screamed out, as all of a sudden a massive shockwave of red energy erupted from her body, ripping apart her clothes.

"GRAAAAH!"
"AGH!" Gravestone and I both yelled as the shockwave blasted both of us away.
I crashed into the ground, but quickly stood back up. I looked at Valé in awe.
Her skin glowed red, and an aura of the same color surrounded her body. The tips of her hair glowed as well, and her eyes shined with power. Her shirt had ripped into a sports bra, and her leggings into high shorts.

"Woah... Valé?!" I said with shock.
She looked back at me, and everyone else.
"I won't let you guys get hurt ever again." She said as she unleashed a second shockwave of golden light at myself, and the rest of my friends.

After the light faded, I realized that all of my injuries were gone. As if they had never happened. I looked over at Callie too, and her leg was brand new. Declan's blades were back, and his arms weren't bleeding.
And finally... I looked over at Lenny, and used my power to check his state. His heartbeat had returned, and the hole in his chest was gone.
"V-Valé...!" I said with shock.
"RAAAAHH!" Gravestone's voice boomed with anger as he ran full speed at Valé. "WHY WON'T YOU ALL JUST LIE DOWN AND DIE?!"
He jumped up, aiming his fist at Valé, and I felt the ground shake when his massive fist collided with her body.
But Valé didn't move a single inch. Anger struck her face, and her body automatically repelled Gravestone's attack, launching him back with a powerful shockwave.
"GRAAAAH!" Gravestone roared in pain as he smashed into the wall.
"S-She countered it?!" Declan exclaimed.
I checked her Hyper Level. 30,000. But that doesn't make any sense! Gravestone's is hundreds of thousands higher! How come he can't hurt her?!
"I WILL DESTROY YOU!" Gravestone roared as he lifted up a part of the destroyed wall, and launched it Valé.
It exploded into her, but again, she didn't move.
"GRAAAAHH!" Gravestone roared with anger, as dark power wrapped around his arm.
Valé reacted to this as red energy centered around her fist.
"Direct Counter Type..." Valé spoke. "Fist Of Retribution!"
The two rushed straight at each other, and their fists collided, creating a powerful blast of wind.
Blood began shooting out of Gravestone's arm and he roared in pain. It was like the stronger Gravestone was, the more Valé was able to overpower him.
"W-WHAT IS... THIS POWER?!" He roared as he attempted to strike Valé's stomach with his free hand, but when he did another shockwave of energy launched him back.
"No way...!" I exclaimed. "She's dominating him!"
Valé appeared in front of Gravestone and held her fist back.
"This is the power... of heroes!" She yelled as she smashed her fist into his body, launching him into the air.

She jumped up, meeting Gravestone in midair, then smashed her fist into his face, and held it there. They fell back to the ground, and with Valé's fist still pushing down into Gravestone, he smashed into the ground face first, Valé still pushing down hard.
It created a cyclone of an explosion in the center of the room, consuming both of them.

I could hear Gravestone roar in pain and I could see Valé's glowing red eyes pierce through the dust cloud.
Finally, the cloud of dust faded away. Gravestone was laid out on the ground. His body had returned to that of a regular, tall human. Blood fell from his head, nose, and mouth, and his eyes were rolled into the back of his head. He was unconscious, out cold.
Valé panted heavily as her body returned to normal as well. She swayed back and forth, about to faint.
"V-Valé!" I exclaimed as I ran to her side, and caught her before she could fall.
Tirza, Lenny, Declan, and Callie ran to us as well.
"D-Did I get him?" She asked with exhaustion.
"Yeah!" Tirza exclaimed, trying her hardest to hold back her tears. "You got him Valé!"
