"We got it!"
"Concentrate, Gloria! Just one more second!"
The young, dark-haired woman stared like hypnotized at the flying object that was the main center of attention right now. It was an alien space ship, much smaller than the gigantic mothership that had wrecked havoc upon so many cities already, the one that had destroyed L.A. a day ago. But it was still quite deadly. Maybe even deadlier than the disk that had moved on and had left its small harbingers of death behind. One energy ray of the mothership had leveled most of L.A. and the smaller vessels were now cleaning up after it. Like birds of prey the alien fighters fell upon all that moved and dared to stand up against them.
One of those almost suicidal opponents was a team of very special people, consisting of three men and one woman. Around them chaos reigned. Alien fighters attacked and fought off earth fighters who tried to get the upper hand. It was an uneven fight because the aliens had the superior technology, especially where the shielding was concerned. But then the tables had turned, the shields dropping for some reason or other, and the team around Billy Hayes would be part of the impending victory.
"Just one more second!" Elvin Lincoln whispered, looking back and forth between Gloria and the alien fighter.
"B-Man, your turn!" Hayes yelled, his face a pale, haggard mask.
Johnny Bukowsky, known as B-Man to everyone, stretched out both arms, clasping his hands and suddenly an incredible amount of energy crackled along his arms. The energy coalesced in his hands and discharged with a hiss toward the fighter which was still held in place by Gloria's telekinetic powers.
The result was as unexpected as it was spectacular.
The energy hit the unprotected hull of the fighter and crackled over the shell. The small ship bucked and then banked left.
"They were right! The shields are down!"
Gloria moaned softly and collapsed. El quickly caught her. Hayes gave a cry of triumph as the ship crashed into the ground and went up into a ball of fire and flames.
"We got one!!"
B-Man grinned an almost stupid wide grin. Yes, they had one.
Above them more alien fighters exploded.
Humanity had started to strike back.

Today was the 4th of July.
