The tumble through the building had been painful, normally the hero known as General Freedom would have ignored it, but his shielding had not blunted the force of impact as much as he would have liked. 

As the two men parted, the blue clad man scrambled to his feet, winding up in a low crouch, his right hand rubbing his left oblique and rib cage. Whatever else the alien was, he certainly had a punch. 

Seeing the energy race through the alien’s hands, General Freedom allowed his own ZPE to flare up, whatever that strange drain was it certainly came from the man before him. 

[b]“Alright bunky, you’ve got my attention. Nice trick that energy drain, but if you think that will save you…” [/b]Before the hero could finish the most disturbing fart sound ripped through the air. Straightening up, General Freedom was about to say something when out of the corner of his eye a huge brown-black mass fell outside the building.

The blazing ZPE energy raced around the man’s body as he nodded towards the hole where the black mass had been glimpsed,[b] “More of your space buddies? What’s wrong pal? Don’t think you can take America’s favorite son alone?”[/b]

As the hero of millions dropped down into a stance, his right fist drew back, his left rising up before his chest and face, while his feet spread out a little so they were a tad further than shoulder width apart. His toes spread out to give him better balance when the massive head of a bear peered through a hole in the wall. 

[i]"Rrruurrpph."[/i] The bear said.

[b]“Oh you have got to be kidding me…” [/b]General Freedom muttered as he launched himself back, unleashing a burst of energy at the alien before him, using the blast to help accelerate him outside where he could put space between he and the alien and the giant bear.
