Finale.

Omega glared at both Kim and Charlie, "You two are starting to get on my nerves."

"Aw c'mon, you make it sound like it's a BAD thing!" Charlie said with a mocking tone, "It's my dream job, Lexy!"

"You're to address me as Omega!" the giant bat woman angrily hissed, "The name I held as a weak human carries no more weight to me!"

"Fucking drama queen," Charlie muttered under breath. She then looked at Kim and whispered, "She's very dangerous when they're around her. We've got to take the Betas out first."

Kim nodded, "Can you fight in the darkness?"

Charlie shook her head no, "I'll have to rely on my reflexes. Wouldn't hurt to get hints from you though!"

The chameleon smiled, "No problem!" and the two split and ran in opposite directions. No sooner they had made leaps at the Betas though, they instantly countered.

"Please," Omega flapped her wings, keeping herself aloft, "Don't insult our hearing."

Kim was intercepted before she could connect with her fast uppercut, being pushed back by the defensive Beta. Charlie was equally repelled after her attack had failed. Hovering above her Betas, Omega commanded them with a shriek, "Attack!"

But Kim had been expecting a charge. She flipped back in time and pulled out her fully charged sonic cannon. "Eat sonics, freak!" she aimed and held the trigger. The ultrasonic blast hit the Beta at such short range that the only thing the bat could do was double over in mid-air and drop down, incapacitated. "Hah! How's that?! I even have enough for one more!" the chameleon smiled, "Who wants some more?!"

Omega winced as did her other Betas. Even though they had received no direct hit, the ultrasonics were high enough to hurt their ears from that distance. "Take that weapon away from her, my children, now!" Omega ordered angrily.

Charlie, who had been doing her best at holding off two Betas felt them suddenly leave. "Ugh... even with my eyes adjusting to the darkness this is tough as nails!" she looked out, trying to make out Kim's shape, "Damnit, did you have to wear black?!" she groaned, starting to make her way towards where she could see movement, but suddenly stopped as she felt a breeze. Lexine dropped two yards in front of her, axe-kicking the metal box Charlie was about to use as a platform to reach Kim.

Metal splinters and scrap flew out from the impact zone. Charlie braced herself, being hit and pushed back by some of it.

"Good reflexes, dear," Omega growled as she jumped off the ground and hovered as if taunting Charlie. The scorpion growled.

"I have more than just good reflexes," her pincers and mandibles snapped together, tail whipping at the air, "I'll show you how good!"

Kim was being assaulted from every direction. "Damnit! They're as fast as they're strong! I can't take a good shot like this!" she jumped, using her tongue to pull herself onto a hanging pole where she began to acrobatically swing herself by gripping with her claws. As one of the Betas rushed her, Kim came full circle and double kicked it in the face, sending him crashing against a wall. "Got'chonose! Well, your entire ugly face!" she cheered as she perched herself on the pole, maintaining perfect balance on it.

"Brother!" the other two Betas turned around in concern, but that was the window of opportunity Kim needed. She aimed at the two and was about to fire, but the shot was intercepted.

Omega, having heard Kim's clicking weapon, turned tail from her personal bout versus Charlie and dove straight into the blast. Thanks to the half charge, Lexine was only moderately affected, and even though she let out a painful scream, she managed to swat the sonic cannon off the claws of a surprised Kim. The gun flew right out of the window, "Damnit!" Kim cursed, almost losing her balance.

"They are both dangerous even without their toys, children. Do not underestimate them!" Omega said to the two remaining Betas. "You must hold them back while I go seek the aid of the rest of your brethren!"

"At once!" the Betas responded in unison. Omega began to fly upwards, but a fast blur gave chase. "Mother!"

Omega looked back to see Charlie get a boost from Kim. Throwing her claw up, Charlie pinched one of the bat's ankles, holding on to her. "Aghhh! What do you think you're doing?!"

"Why do people always ask that when I cling to them? Is there something on my face?" Charlie sarcastically asked, pulling herself up on the hovering Omega, her mandibles snapping threateningly.

Omega groaned, trying to shake Charlie off without using her hands, since her arms were busy keeping them afloat. "You can't stop me, Charlie!"

"Maybe, but I'm sure as HELL gonna try!"

Angrier than ever, Omega beat her powerful wings and let out a loud screech as she began to ascend at such speed that Charlie couldn't climb up on her anymore. Eventually, she tore through the concrete ceiling as if it had been paper mache.

Kim looked up, jaw hanging in awe, "And I thought I was extreme." The Betas had been making sure their unconscious brother and sister had not suffered any lethal wound, as Omega had taught them to do in these cases. When they were sure no lasting damage had been done, they returned their attention to Kim.

The chameleon frowned at them. "I'm at a serious disadvantage. I won't be able to use the swinging pole trick again..." she pondered, "Color changing won't help me if they can echolocate. Good old fashioned beating it is then!"

"You won't get us this time, chameleon!" The two Betas approached at full speed, with one trying to drive a punch to her gut while the other kicked.

Kim easily dodged the kick, having to put her claws together to block the punch. "Is that all... you got?!"

But blocking just one of the bats proved to be her undoing. Their intended strategy was for one of them to miss on purpose, so it could make an U-turn and then slam back against Kim for a pincer attack!

"Auuugh!" Kim got the wind knocked out of her as the Beta crashed against her back.



"Don't let up, fire sonics in short bursts unless you can be sure to hit their heads!" the commander at the roof ordered. The soldiers were so far doing good given the circumstances. Two soldiers had been crippled and were out of combat, but they had managed to bring one Beta down with a combined ultrasonic barrage.

They were currently in cluster formation with the three Betas hovering above them. The situation seemed hopeless after one of the Betas had taken out a third soldier without a chance to counter, but then everyone at the high-altitude battlefield turned their attention to the blasting hole in the center as Omega and Charlie made their way through.

The impact was strong enough for Omega to shake the scorpion off, who fell on top of one of the soldiers, cushioning her fall. Charlie groaned a bit, "Oww man, she flies too fast," she shook her head and craned it up, glaring at the hovering Omega, "You're a lousy flier you know that?!"

"Mmmph!" the man underneath Charlie muffled something, his face buried underneath Charlie's soft pair of mammaries. She blinked as she was snapped out of her distraction and looked down.

"Oh whoops, sorry about that, pal," Charlie quickly got up and helped the shaken man up, who was wobbling slightly, "Do I even need to apologize for that...?" Charlie wondered, but then she was met by the commander.

"Agent Stinger! We heard from Captain Rogers you had been incapacitated and were being held in!"

"Yeah, I got better. Where's Jim?"

"Coordinating a counter-attack against a hostile third party. Is that... Omega?" the commander looked up, stunned by the sight of the nine foot tall airborne amazon.

"What, is there another giant blonde-haired bat woman in our list?!" Charlie responded in disbelief, when she heard Omega finally screech and dive down followed by the three Betas. "Oh no, Kim!" she gasped, not thinking about it anymore before she rushed to the hole and began to crawl her way back inside, using the ceiling and platforms to descend.

"They need assistance!"

"That place has got no light, plus if they ARE having an all-out brawl, humans like us might get torn apart just by being there."

"What do we do then, commander?"

"We must take care of our wounded first," the commander ordered, "Let's get down, then we can decide if we're in any shape to assist!"

"Let's move!"



Using every container and column to slow but ensure her safe descent, Charlie kept making acrobatic leaps from surface to surface. "I have to make it to Kim, she's been fighting two Betas on her own all this time I've been hitching rides on oversized winged mammals!"

Kim was having trouble as there were five Betas being commanded by Omega to beat her down. Even with all her reflexes and speed, and the aid of her flexible, elastic tongue, Kim was still overpowered by the gang of bats, her suit was getting torn into tatters already, her midriff, both her arms and one leg were exposed. "Do you see now, Ms. Sanders?" Omega smirked arrogantly, "Our cause is as strong as we are, and it can be even stronger if you and Bethany join!" she growled.

"After seeing..." Kim panted, getting up from her knees onto her feet, "How you treat people that disagree with you..." she groaned, holding by one of her aching arms, an eye closed, "You can take your utopia and shove it!"

Omega smiled wickedly, "You'll soon come to regret your choice, little chameleon! No one's going to save you from my wrath!"

"Coming thru!" Charlie yelled as she pounced and surprised Omega with a right hook to her left temple. "I'm hurt, Lexy! Did you forget about little 'ol me?!" she grinned under her mask, following up with another punch before the stunned bat could react.

"Sting!" Kim said with a relieved sigh, "That gal sure knows how to make an entrance! Still, ouch, those are gonna leave a mark!" she thought as jumped against a wall, using all of her strength to kick herself against one of the Betas that were staring in disbelief as Charlie beat their mother with a flurry of punches. "Still, can't let her upstage me!" she smiled, landing on one of the Beta's head, double-kicking its head, bouncing to the next only to double-kick with added momentum.

Kim continued bounce-kicking the Betas until she came up near the descending Omega and Charlie. "Out of the way, bug lady!"

Charlie looked back and grinned under her mask before kicking Omega in the stomach to bounce herself off onto a column. She stuck to it with her hands and feet with her back to the column to observe. Kim, having stomp-run through the line of distracted Betas, had picked up such speed that she reached the weakened Omega with enough momentum to drive her fist forcefully onto her chest. The impact was so strong that the giant bat was sent reeling, impacting against one of the empty containers. Kim began to fall after the blow, but was caught by a leaping Charlie.

After the scorpion had thrown Kim around on her shoulders, she clung to the wall, "Woo! Good blow! Think that might have been it, lizard!" she cheered. Panting, Kim felt the last of her torn suit fell off, her scales felt cool to the night's chilly air, but it was far better to be like this than on the receiving end of a one-sided brawl.

But they were in for a surprise as Omega surged out of the container, enraged, eyes burning red!

Both Charlie and Kim widened their eyes. Kim reflexible clutched Charlie harder as part of her dreaded this situation, "She can still fly after THAT?!"

"She's a tough bitch, it's hard to beat her down without sonics," Charlie explained. But just as she explained that, the enraged Omega locked on to them and let out an ear-piercing scream.

The ultrasonic wave at super high frequency was focused at the two female metamorphs, who eventually began to succumb to the enraged screech. The vibrations to the surfaces caused Charlie to lose her grip on the wall, making the duo fall onto the tool shed. "Ugh!"

"I'm still a bit woozy..." Charlie groaned as she got back up, rubbing her head while Kim struggled to get up on her feet. "She might look the diva part, but she'd clear out a house faster than a rat plague would!"

"Nngh..." Kim grunted, "I'm hurting all over... but I can't let this oversized bimbo beat us. If my body gives up on me now...!"

"Look out!" Charlie tackled Kim before one of the Betas slashed her to pieces, but a second one managed to slam into the scorpion, sending the two toppling down. "Gah!" Charlie screamed as she got scratched in the back by a third.

"They're not letting up! Crashing against the walls if they miss, they're moving erratically!" Kim observed.

"It's Lexine's Banshee Scream, it's driving all of the Betas berserk!" Charlie gasped, taking beating after beating from the relentless attack while shielding Kim who was lying on her back, numbed by the pain.

"Just great! What do we do now?!"

"I'm... ugh!" Charlie groaned, her chitin armor protecting her shoulders and back, her pincers serving as a method to deflect blows, but the attacks were too numerous for her to block them all, "Open to ideas, y'know!" she was stuck defending Kim!

They both heard Omega scream her loudest yet, causing all five Betas to align perfectly before they began to make a dive. "Damn, they're going to crush us if they impact!" Kim gasped, shutting her eyes as both heroines braced herself...

But then nothing happened. As Kim opened her eyes, Charlie had fallen to her side, panting as she was suffering from the inflicted pain, but was otherwise fine. There were familiar forms hovering in front of them. "...Beth!!" the chameleon cheerfully smiled. Somehow, the bats had stopped advancing. The queen bee looked back and smiled brightly back at her exhausted allies, as if reassuring them victory through her mask.

"Our wax helped lots in smashing walls without breaking our bones," Beth briefly explained, then turned her attention back at her enemies.

Omega stared in disbelief, the bats were just flapping their wings, barely moving at all. She growled, "What have you done to my children?! They won't respond to my orders!"

Beth smiled, "I figured that's what you do. You use high frequency ultrasonics to direct them," she narrowed her eyes, starting to lift her hands, "Guess what happens when a multitude of giant bugs with super strong wings flap them THIS fast?" she then clapped her palms together. The four muscular drones floating by her side began to flap their wings so incredibly fast that they became almost invisible blurs on their back.

Kim and Charlie blinked as all they heard was a thin buzzing sound, but the frequency at which the insect wings were beating was so insanely high that the Betas began to fail at keeping themselves aloft, falling to the floor, having to drag themselves erratically like crippled birds.

"NO!" Omega widened her eyes, realizing what Beth was doing.

"Now, guess what happens when a giant bug of MY size with super strong wings flaps them THIS fast in chorus?!" Beth dove down, cracking the floor with her weight as she landed by her faithful drones. She clenched her fists and began to flap her insect wings even faster than the males were capable of. Suddenly, Omega began screaming, holding by her head as she began to fall.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" the bat cried out while her Betas were all simultaneously knocked out by the combined ultrasonic attack which was, in a way, even more powerful than several sonic cannons being fired at once. Omega crash-landed on the first floor, screaming in pain.

"She's got her!" Kim cheered.

"I could've done that," Charlie added. "Okay I couldn't have, I have no wings. Way to go Beth!"

Eventually, Beth realized she wasn't able to knock Omega out for some reason. All she was managing was to torture her. "Stop!" she told her drones, who immediately did as told and jumped at her back, their wings staying still. Beth stopped and slowly she began to approach the squirming Omega.

"Hurting... it hurts... it hurts so much... make it stop..." Omega panted, her mind still assailed by the excruciating pain.

Charlie and Kim walked by the giant red-haired queen bee. "What's wrong?"

"I might've gone a bit overboard..." Beth admitted.

"Bitch deserved it," Kim groaned, "Oww, still hurting..." she winced slightly, looking all around for the dropped unconscious Betas, "All these people being like this, it's all her fault."

Charlie was silently contemplating the shaking Omega in pain, though she was no better off, her body still battered from the earlier assault, "Lexy... Why do you hate humans so much?" she spoke to herself, "You're letting that hatred drive you, but you can't let it consume you, it's making you do all this crazy stuff..." she closed an eye, holding by one of her scratched shoulders as she fall to one knee.

"Sting!" Beth walked over to Charlie, reaching over to pick her up. "Are you okay? I'm sorry I took so long to get here!" she then looked to Kim, "You too Kimmy. It took me a while to learn how to use my powers to escape that hallway..."

"Don't blame yourself, Beth. In the end, you saved us," Charlie's chitinous armor began to retract and vanish, her faceguard included. "I'm so tired..." she groaned.

"Yeah I don't think I'm in any better shape," Kim said, still holding by one of her numbed arms, "Fuck, punching Omega nearly broke every bone in my arm," she winced to herself, opening and closing her fist to check for further injury.

"Well... what now?" asked Beth, but then all of a sudden the dark place lit up with several flashlights. Gun lights were being pointed at the seven metamorphs.

Charlie's eyes narrowed as she couldn't bear the sudden change in lighting. Kim took her googles off. Beth's feelers stood up at attention.

"We see Stinger and Kim... and a third metamorph! Wait no, four, five... There are seven!"

"Cavalry's here..." Charlie sighed, "Late!" she snarled up at the captain.

Rogers took his googles off, "Sorry Stinger," he smiled, "But you did go AWOL. Made up for your mess though, so fair's fair, right?"

"You suck," Charlie flat-stared. Beth and Kim exchanged looks and giggled.



Epilogue:

Kim and Charlie were tended to by the medical team. Fortunately and thanks to their respective super-human resilence, their wounds were considered minor as regeneration had already kicked in by the time.

Kim and Beth could have been arrested and tried for the wave of crimes and accessory thereof, but given the service they provided in apprehending Omega, they offered Kim a deal partaking operations when necessary. Risk and danger, and high pay; she did not want to refuse.

Beth volunteered to help as well, and was promptly accepted in, but put the condition that her 'knights' be examined and researched thoroughly. The queen bee expressed her concern for their lack of free will, even when she wasn't actively giving orders; though she secretly enjoyed having the four attractive honey bees at her beck and call.

Charlie continued to work with Captain James Rogers and often went to the max security complex to visit Lexine. The cells for the bat metamorphs had been modified to be able to hold the amazon bat in, plus all her Betas in separate cells. The cells were fitted with counter-measures in the form of ultrasonic devices should they try anything. Charlie made sure to check on them from time to time.

Juarez's failure was met by a terrible punishment that, suffice it to say, would have him permanently removed from his organization. That organization however, was in no way finished with Dr. Lexine Masters.

And thanks to the data on Beth that would eventually make its way to their slippery, covert hands, the bat knew it was only a matter of time before Omega would take to the skies again.

The End. (For now!)
