Alex and Aaron – Together Again For the First Time

Alexandra King stepped from the doors of the gym. In the skies above Tandy, circular saucers with a cross-shaped antennae shattered the air with beams of unearthly energies. Pools of goo served as stark reminders war being raged against the citizens of Tandy. Striking a dramatic pose, Alex heard an echo of the Wotch's spell:

"Spirits of our Champions Past
Gather Near Assembled Cast
Cheer Squad and Athletes Unite
In these Avatars to fight
Grant them power to defeat
Alien invasion fleet
Forms from the imagination
Free us from their domination

Kangaroo Ultra Squad Attack!"

"When in course of human events, it comes to the champions of the common man to stand against the tyranny of the oppressors, then the spirits of the afflicted rise and give force to the might of those who place themselves on the battle line. Let us sally forth to the defense of our fellow men, women, children, and assorted house pets -- and let it be said that on this day that the spirit of the Tandy Howitzers stood proud and tall against all odds"

"Alex, the uniform has kangaroos, not howitzers. You wanted to change the mascot but needed Student Counsel Approval. Then we found the president chained up, but he disappeared, and nobody remembers him anymore, although I saw her at the debate and she looked kinda different but seemed sad and angry but also smart and nice." Joanna Star's gentle correction had no effect on her wild haired leader as she clasped her crystal wand behind her jump suited back.

A tone sounded from the futuristic sports helmet that was fighting a losing battle with Alexandra's hair. She looked up at the invisible holographic display above her forehead. "Target acquisition complete. Power levels at full. 60 seconds available. Voice Activation..." she read the tactical displays and was startled when the mall and all her surroundings began to shrink. As she watched her comrades, it became apparent. Tandy wasn't shrinking. She was growing! At 55' tall, her growth came to a halt and the glowing TG amulet began to pulse. "59 seconds. Flight mode active. Combat pulse-standby. Quantum ball fully charged." On instinct, Alexandra touched the amulet, drew her arm back behind her head and hurled a spinning spheroid of plasma at the command sphere of the nearest saucer. The football shaped plasma burst rocked the saucer.

The 55' cheerleader soared into the air. <55 seconds remaining> "Play thirty seven. Phoenix rising formation." Football plays and cheer-leading routines mixed in her mind. Aaron King's spirit linked her to members of her squad so that they acted as one.
