AAOOOSC!: The Mission

The first night when the GHP are sleeping in their brand new headquarters, things get pretty weird.
Sidney blinks his eyes open and sits up slowly on his bed, noticing that something's missing. "Bubby?" he croaks. He looks around the dim room with a Pittsburgh Penguins themed lamp as the only light in the room. "Bubby, where are you?" He gets up from his bed slowly and hobbles out into the hallway. "Bubby, I'm looking for you... Bubby, where are--"
CRASH!!!
"AHHHHHH!!!!" Sidney immediately widens his eyes and zooms to the end of the hallway with unnatural speed as a large, pillar-looking thing began piercing through the hallway by coming down from the ceiling and through the floor.
"Oh my Bubbys, how did I get here so fast?" Sidney looks at the hallway with shock. "GUYS, THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE HALLWAY!!!"
The door next to the Sidney opens and Pekka pops his head out.
"Something's wrong with the hallway?" he starts. "It's more like something's wrong with my back!"
"Back? You gotta go to the chiropractor?" Sidney makes a confused look.
"No, there's spikes sticking out of my back, that's what's wrong!"
Sidney makes a shocked look. "That's a problem---AHHH!!!" He immediately disappears from Pekka's sight.
"Sid?" Pekka makes an odd look.
Sidney stops running just as he was about to crash into a window that is on the other side of the hallway; he grabs onto the window sill, leaning out of the window. "Oh my goodness, I got past the pillar!" He turns around, seeing the 'pillar.' "Hey..." He looks at the blockade with inquiring eyes. "...that looks like a pillar with sweatpant covering! I need to know where this is coming from!" He turns back around, seeing the night sky through the open window. "Maybe it's coming from the roof--"
Sidney's sentence is cut by the sight of an up-side down blue eye peering at him through the window.
"Hey man--"
"AHHHH!!!" Sidney's brown eyes grow wide and he falls to the ground.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, dude, I ain't gonna hurtcha, man!" Patrick tells Sidney. "Can you just grab Nemo dude and tell 'im that I need help getting out of the HQs?"
"Uh..." Sidney looks around the hallway, then back at Patrick. "You're big...!"
"Nooooo...," Patrick says sarcastically. "Now go grab Nemo man or else my hair's gonna turn into a bird house, dude!"
"But how did you grow big?" Sidney asks while getting up slowly.
"Man, I have no idea how! Now go grab 'im!"
"But can you first get out of the HQs-- It's kinda hard navigating through it when you're taking up half of the room."
"Dude, that is the reason why I want you to grab Nemo, man! Now go, dude!"
"What on earth is going on?" Antti asks as he walks into the room, wearing his PJs.
"Patrick's big...!" Sidney points out with a scared tone.
Antti tilts his head with an odd look, looking at Patrick. "Now how did this happen?"
"I dunno, man, that's what I'm tryin' to answer for myself!"
"Well, we'll get you back to normal... Just think small."
"Small?"
"Yea, small. It's the best way to do it."
"Yea, think of Bubby Jr.!" Sidney says happily. "Ooo, that reminds me--I gotta look for Bubby!"
"Oh, I accidentally smashed that gorilla; he must be down in the first floor, man."
"Nooo, Bubby!!!' Sidney gets up and rushes out of the room with extreme speed, making it seem like he teleported, but the breeze he left behind notified that he was running.
"Whoa, that's the first time I see Sidney running that quickly!" Antti has his blue eyes wide.
"Weird things are happening, dude--"
"Less talking, more shrinking, we can't have you stuck like this forever," Antti cuts in.
"Alright, man, alright..."
"I'll go check and see how the others are doing." Antti walks away deeper into the hallway, bumping into Pekka.
"Antti, we have a problem!" Pekka tells him.
"Yes, I see that already--"
"No, no, no, I got spikes on my back! Like as if I've been stabbed multiple times!"
Antti makes a confused look. "What?"
"Yea, see, look!" Pekka turns around, showing his metal, silver spikes that are sticking out from his back just like a stegosaurs'.
Antti grimaces at his back. "Does it hurt?"
Pekka turns back around. "Nah, I just don't want to accidentally impale someone."
"I see. I think we gotta gather everyone to the main room. Grab everyone, please." Antti turns around and begins to walk away.
"Alright, will do." He turns around, finding that the 'pillar' is gone. "Good, Kane's back to normal."

A few minutes later in the main room on the first floor, the whole GHP are sitting around the table that is in the middle of the room except for Pekka, who is standing up and Brad, who is laying on the table by the corner between Jonathan and Antti; Ari floating next to Antti, who is on the end of the table.
"Alright, first thing's first: we got to figure what new abilities you guys have," Antti starts.
"Ooo, ooo, can I go first?" Sidney asks, raising his hand in the air vigorously; in his other arm, he has Bubby.
"Okay, Sidney, what can you do?"
"I can run fast!" He places his hands on the table top. "Very, very, veeeeery fast!"
Antti nods his head. "That's what I thought."
"Dude, I can become a giant," Patrick says.
"Alright..."
"I have spikes on my back..." Pekka makes an awkward look.
Jonas looks up at Pekka. "Is that the reason why you're standing up?"
"Yea." Pekka nods his head.
"What about you, Nathan?" Sidney asks happily. "What can you do?"
"Well, um..." Nathan scratches his head. "...I can turn invisible..."
"Hey, man, those are my powers!" Patrick points out. "Can I have 'em back, dude?" He extends his arm on the table.
"...I can also make force fields," he finishes.
"Okay, now those aren't my powers, man," Patrick brings his arm back to his side.
"That's so cool that you can make force fields and turn invisible!" Sidney exclaims.
"Not when you scare yourself thinking that you're nonexistent!" Nathan tells his friend.
"That must've been scary then!" The Penguin hugs Bubby tightly with both hands. "But you still have cool powers!"
"Thanks."
"Ooo, what about you, Jonny?" Sidney turns to his left, facing Jonathan.
"Oh, me?" Jonathan points to himself. "I think I have fast reflexes because when Kaner's arm went crashing through my room, I moved out of the way just on time, which I bet I wasn't able to do before." He sends a glare at the Blackhawk.
"Hey, sorry, man! It's not my fault, dude, that I suddenly began to grow insanely!" Patrick throws his hands in the air.
Ari began making some beeping noises with Finnish words appearing on the screen. Älä ole huolissasi vahingoista Patrick teki päämaja--rakennus voidaan korjata itsensä. Älä kysy miten, vaikka.
"Hey, what about me, man?" Patrick asked, pointing to himself.
Antti turned to his team after reading what Ari was showing. "Ari's just saying that the headquarters can repair itself so your rooms should be fine." He turns back to the floating robot. "Onko tämä totta, Ari?"
Kyllä!
Sidney's face turns pale. "The building we're in is alive?" He sinks low enough for his eyes to the tip of his hair are only visible. "I don't want to be in here..."
Antti turned to Sidney. "Don't worry, Sidney, it can just repair itself, that's all." He turns to Jonas. "So...what about you, Jonas? You figured out that you have different powers?"
"Hahaha, does this answer your question?" Jonas raises a red fire extinguisher in the air.
"What's that for? There's no fire here right now..." Pekka makes a puzzled look. "Or is there?"
"There's a fire here?" Sidney eyes grow wide.
"There was gonna be, but thanks to this--" Jonas spins the extinguisher in the air. "--there isn't any."
"Let me guess: you have fire powers," Jonathan says.
"Yup. And I almost burned down my whole room."
"Hmmm...no wonder my wall was kinda warm," Nathan mutters.
"What about you, Antti?" Sidney starts while sliding up his seat. "What powers do you have?"
Antti looks at Brad, who is now sleeping on the table. "First let's ask the honey badger."
Brad opens up one eye. "I'm not a honey badger."
"Yes you are."
Brad sits up and looks at his paws. "Dang it, I still am. Now what do you want to ask me?"
"Do you have any powers?"
"Hmmm...do I have powers?" Brad rubs his furry chin. "Why I'm a honey badger--honey badgers don't have any powers!"
"Not all people have super powers," Jonathan points out.
"Well, let's just say that I have your's--" Brad points to Jonathan. "--and your's--" He points to Sidney. "--powers."
"You're fast and have fast reflexes?" Sidney asks.
"Yup." Brad beams with proudness with his arms crossed. "I'm the super honey badger!"
"All you just need is a cape and mask and you'll be ready to fight! You'll look so funny like that! Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh!" Sidney starts laughing at the image of Brad wearing a typical superhero mask and cape.
Brad has a stern look. "Not funny, Kid."
Sidney slams his fist on the table while cracking up.
"Do I look funny with a cape and mask on?" Brad ask weakly.
"You do look quite funny," Nathan tells him.
"Tell the Kid to shut up or else I'll sherd that gorilla of his to pieces with my claws." Brad reveals his claws.
"Uhhh...Sid, you should stop laughing--Brad's gonna hurt Bubby if you don't."
Sidney straightens up with a shocked look and gasps. "No one's gonna hurt Bubby!" He hugs his stuffed gorilla with a serious look. "And that goes with you, too, mister!" He nods his head towards Brad.
"Let's see how that goes." Brad retracts his claws.
"Ooo! Nemo!" Sidney turns to Antti. "What are you powers?"
"Oh..." Antti chuckles mirthlessly. "Well, I'm still trying to figure 'em out, but I can make things float..."
"That sounds cool!" Sidney exclaims.
"I thought you said that my powers were cool," Nathan tells Sidney.
"Everyone's powers are cool!"
"Alright, if you say so..."
Ari shows a message in Finnish. Sinun täytyy mennä treenikämpälle oppia taistelemaan teidän uusia valtuuksia taisteluun.
"Now what does that say, man?" Patrick asks, tilting his head to the side.
"Ari's saying that we must practice using our powers so that we can fight with them properly," Antti translates.
"Mutta mitä tapahtui meidän vanha valtuuksia?" Pekka asks.
He saivat tilalle uusia valtuuksia, Ari replied.
"What?" Jonathan makes a confused look.
"I'm gonna start speaking German if you guys don't stop speaking Finnish because we have no idea what you're saying," Jonas says, pointing to his teammates that aren't Finnish.
"Well, Ari only knows Finnish, so..." Pekka shrugs.
"What did you guys say?" Nathan asks.
"I asked what happened to our old powers and Ari said that they were replaced by our new powers. There." Pekka crosses his arms.
"Ah. Okay, now I get it." The non-Finnish speakers nod their heads.
"Well, we should get back to bed so that we can be rested and ready to train with our powers," Antti tells them.
"Alright, good night, dudes," Patrick gets up and walks out of the room; most of the GHP follow him.
Nathan looks down and sees Sidney now sleeping with his head on the table. "I think I'll have to drag you over to your bed. Let's go." He grabs Sidney's wrists and drags him off the table and onto the floor without waking him up. "Dang, you're a deep sleeper!" he mutters as he exists the room with Sidney.


"What am I suppose to do here?" Sidney asks as he looks at all the poles that were stretched out before him in the dim, cream-coloured room.
It is the next morning and training session is in progress.
"Well, Ari here says that you don't only have supersonic speed, but you also have cosmic energy absorption."
"What the, what the, what?" Sidney makes a confused look at Antti. "What is that?"
"In other words, glowing blue rings come out from you. Does that make sense?"
"Yea, but how does Ari know about what I can do?"
"Well, he knows everything about us here and the HQs. He's like our guide. Just trust him."
Sidney looks at the floating iPad. "I trust you little buddy!" He smiles, turning to the training room. "Okay, how do I use these powers?"
Antti looks at Ari, who answered his question in Finnish. "Just pretend that you have the powers and try to get 'em out there."
Sidney cocks his head at the room. "Okay..." He balls his hands into fists and puts them next to his ear. "YA!" He quickly extends his arms out in front of him with his hands stretching out from a fist. But instead of have blue energy coming out from his hands, it came out from his upper body in rings, skidding between two poles and dissolving as it crashed into the wall that is on the other side of the room.
"I did it, I did it!" Sidney extends his hands in the air in triumph. He immediately puts his hands down. "But it came out from my body, not from my hands."
"That's how your powers are like. But continue practicing with them and use those poles as targets." Antti pats Sidney's shoulder and walks out of the room with Ari.
"Alright, time to slice these poles down!" Sidney sticks his elbows out with his fists facing each other, ready to strike when he hears panting from behind. "Wha-what's that?" He turns around, seeing Tatu flying in with its tiny black wings beating hard.
"Oh, what are you?" Sidney asks as he follows Tatu with his eyes.
Tatu lands his shoulder and lets out a huge, high-pitched, "Whew!"
"I take it you don't talk. Now can you get off of my shoulder 'cause I need to practice with my super duper awesome powers!"
"Heh..." Tatu starts beating its wings again and flies up into the air, floating deeper into the training room.
"Hey, you shouldn't go in there!" Sidney shouts.
Tatu turns around with its huge lens facing Sidney. It begins to dart back and forth and side to side pretty quickly.
"Oh, so you want to train with me then, right? Okay, let's do this!" Sidney goes back to his ready position. Then he stretches his arms back, sticking out his chest as a huge, bright white disc-shaped energy with a glowing bright blue outline emits from him, slicing through a pole with ease.
"This is awesome!" He continues shooting energy discs out, slicing the poles while Tatu was playing its own little game of dodging Sidney's discs. But it was too slow and it got cut in half; it clattered onto the ground.
Sidney gasps at what happened. "Oh my Bubbys, I killed the ball!"
He hears someone rushing into the room. "Where's Tatu?" he hears Pekka asking.
Sidney turns around, facing Pekka. "Who's Tatu?"
"It's that little black orb A.K.A our security camera. It always pants and lands on your shoulder. You can't miss it."
"Err...I think I cut it in half." Sidney points to Tatu while gritting his teeth.
"You cut it in half?" Pekka runs over to the robot and picks up its two pieces. "Well, I was warned that it was pretty stupid."
"Ehhh..." Tatu groans with a high-pitched sound.
"It's still alive--all I just need to do is put it back into one piece."
"You guys!" They heard Antti's voice shout.
They turn around, seeing Antti in the doorway with each of his hands on the doorjambs. "I gotta show you guys something. Now!"
Pekka nods his head. "Alright, we'll be there."
Antti turns around and runs out of the entrance with his long trench coat flowing behind him.
Pekka and Sidney follow him to the main room where the rest of the GHP was standing in front of the computer.
"What is it, what is it?" Nathan asks as Sidney joined him.
Antti halts in front of the computer and types furiously on the keyboard as the screen was changing as fast as his typing. "I found out the way to get the NHL back," he tells the keyboard.
"It's to defeat the EHP, right?" Jonathan asks.
"No, you're wrong; we can't save the NHL on our own even if we try out hardest."
"So how can save the NHL then, man?" Patrick asks.
"I'm glad you asked. Only one person can save the NHL and that's--" Antti pressed on a button and stands back to see the screen. "Jonathan Toews."
