Bubble Boy

[LOCATION – Warehouse 17]

[STREAM TITLE – "BUBBLE CREW VS LEGION???"]

[VIEWERS – 1,201,483 and climbing fast…]

The warehouse reeked of fire, blood, and defeat. Jackson was barely conscious, his body charred and twitching. Emily groaned, crushed beneath slabs of twisted metal. Annie, scarred, brave, gasping, knelt defenseless under Gladiator's blade. Carter was gone. Taken. Maybe dead.

The remaining Legion members stood above them like gods.

Gladiator raised her sword with a cold, victorious smirk.

"This is what hope looks like," she whispered, bringing the blade down...

BOOOOM!

The sky cracked.

A blinding blue flash burst through the roof with a deafening roar. Shards of steel and concrete rained down as a sonic shockwave erupted, blasting everyone off balance.

The warehouse sank an inch into the earth from the impact.

And there, standing in the cratered center...

Troy.

No...Bubble Boy.

But not the boy from before.

This was something new.

His suit hummed with unstable energy, sparking shinning bubbles around his limbs. His hair whipped in the winds swirling from his aura. His red eyes glowed, haunted and burning with wrath.

@Freedomfighter3ws@: "IS HE SSS?? WHO IS HE???"

@Justaguy4@: "WTF IS HAPPENING???"

Gladiator stumbled back, mouth open.

"What the hell..."

CRACK!

She didn't get to finish.

Troy blasted toward her, a blue comet, and punched. She barely raised her sword, but...

SNAP!

It shattered.

She was launched through the roof like a rocket. A sonic boom followed her up...

Troy was already behind her in the sky.

Another punch...

DOWN.

She hit the ground like a meteor, coughing blood in a crater.

Troy didn't stop. He shot down after her, slamming both fists into her chest...

BOOOOM!

The entire warehouse trembled.

Cracks split across the concrete.

Silence.

Even the Legion didn't move.

[CHAT REPLAY]:

@Gladiatorfan72: "HE SHATTERED GLADIATOR'S SWORD???"

@Thelegionionisthebest: "SHE'S SS CLASS WTF"

@BubbleCrew98: "WHAT IS HE??"

@Bubbleman8: "WHO IS THIS GUY???"

@Starmanfollower27: "STARMAN 2.0???"

@BubbleCreed62: "He's not even using BUBBLES ANYMORE"

Bolt blinked. "That's not… possible…"

Construct stepped back, eyes wide for the first time in his life. "Yo… what kinda cheat code is this?"

Bolt stared, frozen. Even he felt a sliver of fear crawl down his spine.

"W-Who is he?" he whispered.

Troy stood tall, breathing hard, smoke rising from his fists. His suit sparked, broken in places but still glowing.

The light in his eyes wasn't just power.

It was rage.

It was grief.

And the Legion could feel it.

Not just the power.

The bloodline.

Bolt gulped. "He's… he's not supposed to be this strong. He's a F Class, right?"

Seaman narrowed his eyes, voice low.

"…No. He's not."

He said a word no one wanted to hear.

"…Starman."

They all stared.

Mr Mars kept floating in the sky watching silently.

Troy looked straight at them.

His voice was quiet.

But it carried weight.

"If any of you touch my crew again…"

The air vibrated.

"…I'll show you what I really inherited."

[CHAT REPLAY]:

@StarmanStan52: "STARMAN'S SON??? IS HE STARMAN'S SON???"

@Starwalker88: "NO WAY. NO WAY."

@Bubblesisthebest23: "IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW"

@Bubblefreak32: "HIS EYES. HIS FLIGHT. HIS POWER."

@HistroyMaker23: "BUBBLE BOY IS STARMAN'S KID??"

@MyLegion67: "SOMEONE RECORD THIS. THIS IS HISTORY."

@WolfLegion62: "He's not Bubble Boy anymore… he's a DEMIGOD."

The Legion stood still.

Because for the first time since Starman himself…

They were afraid.

And Troy?

Troy was just getting started.

[LOCATION – Warehouse 17]

[STREAM TITLE – "BUBBLE CREW VS LEGION???"]

[VIEWERS – 2,308,122 and exploding…]

The smoke hadn't even cleared from the last impact when Bolt took a trembling step forward.

"She took two hits," he whispered. "And she's out."

Construct, still grinning but no longer joking, cracked his knuckles. "Yo… we can still win. Together."

Bolt nodded, face pale but determined. "Team tactics. We overwhelm him. Hit from all angles."

Seaman stepped forward, spinning his trident once. "No holding back. Not anymore."

Above them, Mr Mars floated silently. Watching. Observing. Unmoving.

[CHAT REPLAY]:

@Kickman24: "THEY'RE REALLY GONNA FIGHT HIM??"

@HexGuy29: "Bro they scared but tryna act brave lol"

@Construct982: "Construct just made a damn tank???"

@GooptheGooper23: "This is LEGENDARY. Someone screen record this."

@SlurpRoad72: "Mr Mars ain't moved once. Creepy af."

The air shifted.

Bolt vanished, streaking lightning-fast toward Troy's flank. Construct raised a glowing arm and summoned a jagged steel cannon from thin air, firing it at Troy's chest. Seaman followed with a tidal whip of water crashing down from above.

Troy raised his head.

BOOOOM!

The entire room exploded in blue light and steam. Bolt zipped in, vibrating through walls and tossing shock grenades. Construct hurled warhammers and drills made of neon, battering Troy from all sides. Seaman moved with focused fury, strikes flowing like waves, relentless and forceful.

Troy didn't fall.

He didn't even flinch.

His body glowed, his broken suit sparking, his fists alive with humming energy. The bubbles around him now moved like sentient armor, absorbing blows, deflecting pressure.

And his eyes, still that terrible, glowing red, never looked away.

Bolt shot in again, fast, blinding, until...

WHAM!

Troy caught him mid-dash, fist clenched around his chest.

Bolt's speed stopped instantly.

His eyes widened in shock.

Troy threw him like a ragdoll across the warehouse, straight into Construct's summoned tower.

BOOM!

Construct winced. "Okay...okay, that hurt…"

Seaman surged in next, trident glowing with ocean energy, slashing with fury. Troy blocked with one forearm. The clang shook the walls.

Then Troy moved.

Faster than thought.

He spun, ducked, and punched Seaman through his own water torrent, slamming him into a stack of shipping containers.

[CHAT REPLAY]:

@Geckoster65: "WHY IS HE SO TOUGH???"

@Bubbledemon56: "They're hitting him with everything!!!"

@WolfietheWorldo9: "HE CAUGHT BOLT MID-RUN WTF"

@StarmansSuccesor78: "HE AIN'T EVEN BLEEDING"

@Starclan97: "I REPEAT. BUBBLE BOY IS BUILT DIFFERENT."

Construct flew in, now riding a floating motorcycle made of kinetic energy. He opened fire with glowing plasma shots.

Troy didn't dodge.

He walked through it.

CRACK, he punched the bike mid-air, shattering it into shards. He grabbed Construct mid-fall and tossed him into a wall so hard the whole structure shook.

Still… the Legion didn't stop.

Bolt coughed and re-entered the fight. Seaman rose, water swirling faster now. Construct groaned but snapped his fingers and conjured a cage of light to try and trap Troy.

It didn't work.

Troy roared, pure fury and broke through.

Not with power.

With rage.

[CHAT REPLAY]:

@TheWriter98: "HE'S MAD. THIS AIN'T POWER. THIS IS PAIN."

@TheGolem97: "He's not even trying to win. He's trying to END them."

@Truthseeker52: "That's Starman's kid alright."

@zettheman72: "This is what an unstoppable bloodline looks like."

Seaman's eyes narrowed.

"He's fighting angry," he whispered to the others. "We can't beat him one-on-one but maybe… together."

So they adapted.

Bolt stopped going for hits, instead, he used his speed to distract. Zooming, taunting, circling like a fly too fast to swat.

Construct switched tactics, he made shields. Barriers. Buffs for his allies. Platforms for Bolt. Walls to slow Troy.

Seaman fought smart, targeting Troy's footing, creating waves to shift momentum. They moved as one.

And for the first time…

Troy was slowed.

He gritted his teeth, throwing punches through bolts of lightning and fields of stone. He roared in frustration, firing off a pulse of raw energy, but Construct absorbed it with a glowing dome.

Still Troy didn't fall.

Still they couldn't hurt him.

His skin crackled with cosmic energy.

His eyes blazed with grief.

He kept going.

The three of them were pushing him, not beating him, but containing him.

And above it all…

Mr Mars watched.

Silent.

Floating.

Unblinking.

@Fakebubbleboy89: "HOW IS THIS FIGHT EVEN REAL???"

@MrObvios6: "THEY'RE GANGING UP AND STILL LOSING???"

@Konman29: "NO ONE'S EVEN SCRATCHED HIM."

@Legionfan293: "THIS IS A FIGHT OF GODS"

@Legionaire820: "AND MR MARS JUST WATCHING LIKE A FREAK."

Troy landed, breathing hard. Dust and smoke swirled around him. His fists burned, eyes locked on them.

He looked angrier now.

But also…

He was slowing down.

Not from wounds.

From emotion.

"Stop…" he growled, voice shaking. "Stop pretending you're heroes."

His voice echoed across the battlefield.

"Stop pretending this world is safe because of you."

Bolt hesitated.

Construct clenched his fists.

Seaman stepped forward.

"We didn't choose this world," he said quietly. "We just tried to keep it together."

Troy raised his head.

"You broke it," he said. "And I'm going to fix it."
