As Concussion flies off Gordon has a puzzled angry look in his face and starts to bulk up. "What the hell was THAT?! He kills ALL of our friends and leaves US like we`re not even WORTH his notice?" Gordon growls.

Paulina reaches out to him "Let it GO Gordon! We`re safe. At least he didn’t kill either of us and now we can start to look for more survivors." she says assuringly.

"I guess you`re right Paulina. We got lucky." Gordon says then holds Polygirl in his arms. Suddenly a crash of thunder can be heard and red lightning hits the area where Concussion flew off to.

"Red lightning? Gordon! Oh my God! That....that's Ms. Blitzen!" Paulina says with wide eyes.

"Emily? She`s ALIVE?!" Gordon asks then looks up in the air. Sure enough, the Atlantean Sparkplug streaks off after Concussion. Emily's electric aura flaring red her eyes glowing with rage as she flies over Gordon and Paulina.

"EMILY NO! DON`T FIGHT CONCUSSION!" Paulina screams to her. Emily looks down at them then smiles and continues after him! "Gordon come on! She`s going to get herself killed!" Paulina says then jumps on her speeder as Gordon climbs next to her.

"Push it Paulina!" He says sternly. Gordon has a look of concern for his friend and fellow Guardian.

"At least Paulina and Gordon are safe! He`s going to PAY for what he did to Maddie, my beloved and the others!" she says as she sees Concussion flying nonchalantly. Emily hurls red ball lightning at his back. "HEY YOU FUCK! REMEMBER ME?!" she shouts then hurls electric blasts at him.

Concussion turns around smirks, then catches the deadly electric blast in his bare hand! "Well well! Ms.Blitzen! I was actually expecting you! I knew you would try your luck. Oh by the way, Catch!" he says arrogantly and hurls Emily's electric blast back at her!

"AAARRGGHHH!!! Emily shouts as her costume gets torn apart by her own blast. "Shit! now I know how it feels!" she thought.

Concussion grins "What`s the matter Ms. Blitzen? Never had your electric blasts hurled back at you before?" he says then crosses his arms. "Well? Is THAT all you got? Don’t make me wait!" he says smugly.

Emily's eyes glow red with anger. For years she managed to control her rage. Her husband had purified her many years ago when she was young, but NOW, after seeing her beloved Guardian, noble husband and good friends all die at the hands of this prick, she has nothing but hatred for him now!

"DON`T YOU DARE MOCK ME YOU BASTARD! I`M THE AVENGING DAUGHTER OF ATLANTIS!" she screams then charges her fists with electricity. Emily hurls herself towards Concussion and punches him in the gut and face with her famous thunder buster punch which sends him crashing to the ground! Emily smiles as she flies down.

Concussion, unfazed by her attack, glares at the Electric Power Woman diving on him then reaches up and grabs her by the throat! "The more things change, the more they stay the same! Still hurling electric blasts and using your vaunted THUNDERBUSTER punches I see!" he says then punches her gut and lets her go.

The Atlantean takes a deep breath to recover but doesn’t fall on her knees like Concussion expected her to. "Laugh THIS off, you smug son of a bitch!" she snarls and then raises her arms and summons the Twin Fluffies, her Voltaic Sentinels.

Concussion looks up. "Predictable!" he says then flies towards them and grabs them! He smashes them together and dissipates them then lands.

Emily punches his face again sending him backwards towards some wreckage.

"You really are stubborn as ever you know that?!" he says.

"I`ll NEVER GIVE UP! YOU KILLED MADDIE!, MY HUSBAND! MY FRIENDS! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!" Emily screams with rage and hurls ball lightning at him, Concussion once again reflects it back at her singing off more of her costume.

"You`re beginning to bore me Ms. Blitzen!" he says.

Gordon and Polygirl stop a few yards away and sees the battle or more likely witnesses Emily's last stand! Gordon climbs out of the speeder. "Oh No! Emily! I've got to go help her!" Gordon says then starts to bulk up.

"NO Gordon! Don’t! Emily won't let you! Besides, I think she`s holding up against him! Only her costume is torn!" Paulina says.

"Paulina! I CAN`T just watch! She's my friend! I HAVE to help her!" Gordon says loudly.

Paulina places her hands on her hips and crosses her second pair of arms in front of her chest. "Gordon you are staying put and THAT’S that!" she says sternly. Gordon huffs then does as he`s told although reluctantly.

Concussion looks over his shoulder then smiles. "Looks like we got and audience Ms. Blitzen! GOOD!" he says then smirks. Emily charges at Concussion then his hands glow. As Emily gets closer to him, she starts to shrink!

"Ms. Blitzen! NO!" Paulina screams then her eyes widen in shock as one of her best friends shrinks in size right before her eyes! Gordon's jaw drops as Concussion snickers. Emily, after realizing what is happening to her, stands 6 inches tall now! "What the FUCK?! NO! NO! NO!" she shouts.

Concussion picks her up and squeezes her between his fingers! "YAARRGGHH!! she screams. Paulina is still in shock and poor Gordon wants to charge at Concussion, but seeing that he has his friend in his hand and can crush her like a bug in an instant, he wisely makes no threatening moves against him!

"Oh how the mighty have fallen! What was THAT Ms. Blitzen? I can`t HEAR you!" Concussion says mockingly then looks down into his palm.

"You fuckin Prick! I`m gonna bash your fuckin face in! COME ON! YOU RAT BASTARD!!" Emily screams in rage. Spitting at his face.

Concussion smiles widely as he sees the miniature Ms. Blitzen's aura flare! He laughs "You know I should crush you in my fist, but seeing you like this is much more funnier instead! Hey Raging Bull! I know you`re there make yourself useful, CATCH!" Concussion then throws mini Ms. Blitzen at him and then flies off!

Gordon catches the miniature Atlantean in his hand.

"HEY YOU BASTARD! Don’t you turn your back on The Avenging Daughter of Atlantis! COME BACK HERE! FACE ME!" she screams angrily hurling electric blasts at him. Concussion laughs.

"I don`t think so Ms. Blitzen!" he says as he heard her threat. "What the hell is going on? I should've killed her! What`s wrong with me?!" he thinks as he flys away.

Gordon has a startled look in his face even though he IS surprised as well that Concussion didn't kill her! "Are you alright Emily?" he asks.

Emily glares at Gordon "Oh Yeah! I`m Fine Gordon! I`m the size of a God damn action figure!" she growls angrily.

"At least he didn’t kill you Emily. Look at it like that!" he says as Paulina walks up with a look of concern.

"Is Emily okay Gordon?" she inquires. He turns around and shows her Emily flaring her electric aura. "Oh my GOD Emily!" she says in surprise and shock.

"Yeah! I know! I`m one of your action figures that you used to collect Paulina! Don't remind me!" She snaps then looks up and bites her lip. "I.....I`m sorry for snapping at you both *sigh* Once again I get pissed off then poof! I`m like a Barbie doll now! Still, Could be worse though, I`d could be dead! But I......I didn’t avenge our friends or Maddie......or my.....beloved. I.....failed!" she says then sits on her knees in Gordon's hand and cries.

Paulina carefully picks up Emily and places her in her hand then moves it close to her face. "It's okay Emily. You did your best. Our friends and Maddie would be proud that you made a stand against him. Your husband too would`ve been proud of you" Paulina says assuringly.

Emily stands up then hugs Paulina's chin. "Thank you Paulina. I`m sorry." she says with tears in her eyes.

"Paulina? Are we ready to go? Emily's costumes all torn up besides her being the size of one of your old dolls" Gordon says irritatingly.

Paulina grins. "Relax Gordon! I got an idea! Lets head over to Guardian HQ as I think I still have the limited edition Ms. Blitzen Barbie in my old room there!" she says.

Emily rolls her eyes. "Oh God! Why didn’t Concussion kill me? I`ll be sure to ask him that when I see him and bust his teeth!" she thought as Paulina and Gordon head back to her speeder.

The Old Guardian HQ, or what's left of it, is a sanctuary where Gordon and Paulina have gathered survivors. Although food is a limited supply, there is enough for people to get by. Gordon and Paulina with Emily on her shoulder soon arrive and enter her old lab.

She splits into 2 Polygirls and they immediately get to work on getting power back or at least try to get the generator working. Emily soon has an idea and transforms into her lightning form to repower the generator. "Thanks Emily that was great!" The copies say in unison as the second one heads over to Paulina's old room and finds the Ms. Blitzen Barbie!

"Here you go Emily! I know its not much but until you get back to normal size but that's all I can think of." the copy explains.

Emily arches her eyebrow but opens the box and then takes off the costume from the doll! ‘This is kind of ironic and damn well embarrassing." she says as she takes off her torn costume then puts on the Barbie Blitzen costume. "You DO realize Paulina, Once I get back to normal size, This will be torn apart and I`ll be naked!" she points out.

Paulina grins "At least you`re not naked NOW Emily! We`ll worry about that later!" she says as Gordon enters covering his eyes. "Is it okay to look?" he says as Paulina smiles.

"Yes Gordon I`m descent now!" Emily says. Gordon and Paulina smile, but Emily has a grim and determined look on her face which they immediately notice. Emily takes off and flies out of the lab and Guardian HQ.

"Emily! Come back!" Paulina shouts at her but Emily doesn’t listen as she is determined to find Concussion despite her miniature state!

"Paulina, she's not going to try to find Concussion and fight him again by herself is she?" he asks with concern even though by looking at Paulina's expression he knows he was absolutely right in what he just said.

"Gordon you know as well I do that Emily is stubborn and when she gets angry, she`ll fight ANYONE no matter what their powers are until she gets killed!" Paulina says with a tear in her eye.

"I don’t blame her." Gordon says so softly that Paulina doesn't hear him.

"Maddie was Emily's spiritual anchor as well as her husband. When Concussion killed them she was determined to avenge them both as well as our friends." Paulina continues.

"How did you know that about her spiritual anchors Paulina?" Gordon asks.

"Silver Star told me about that. She was very spiritual and showed me a few things about it." Paulina explains.

"Come on! She`s going to need my help whether she wants it or NOT!" Gordon says.

Paulina arches her eyebrow,. "I guess you`re right. Lets go Gordon!" She says then hugs him before they climb into her speeder again.

Coming back to where she was shrunken down Emily looks around. "CONCUSSION! WHERE ARE YOU? COME OUT AND FACE ME!" Emily screams even though she probably won't be heard in her small size but she is determined to find him no matter where he is! Landing on the ground she breaks down and cries. The years of fighting and now the loss of her friends suddenly hit her, she can't take anymore. "Why? WHY cant I avenge my friends? Maddie!..... Mal!..... I failed you both!" she shouts and pounds on the ground.

Suddenly a shadow is is over her. Emily opens her eyes and her electric aura flares. She quickly stands up and turns around, her fists electrified. She looks up at Concussion but there's something different about him. He`s making no boasts and no attack moves and is just hovering above her. He then floats down and stands next her.

Emily hurls her electric bolts at him even though they wont do any good at her miniature size.

"What..... what the hell is going on here? What are you playing at Concussion?" she growls.

"That is not a good idea Ms. Blitzen. I suggest you go back to the ruins before you regret pushing me!" Concussion warns with his arms crossed.

Polygirl and Gordon land the speeder and race towards her. "Emily! NO! Don't do it!" she shouts frantically.

Gordon sees Concussion standing over mini Emily. "Emily STOP! He's going to kill you!" he says with concern.

"No Gordon! Paulina stay back! COME ON CONCUSSION! Do your worse! Strike me down!" Emily shouts as she hurls electric bolts at him. "I suggest you leave NOW Ms. Blitzen or I`ll really get pissed! You`re no threat now so... so..." Concussion stops and flies away.

"COME BACK HERE! HOW DARE YOU FLY AWAY!" Emily shouts and hurls more ball lightning at him but he continues to fly away as Paulina and Gordon look at him curiously.

"Gordon grab Emily gently! I`m going to try to restore her" Paulina orders.

"Let me go Gordon! I HAVE to stop him! I want avenge our friends!" Emily screams.

Gordon holds his friend in his hand. "I know Emily but there something strange going on with Concussion, you might`ve gotten him pissed if you kept hitting him with lightning then he`ll go on another rampage against the few of us who are left." Gordon explains.

"RRRAAAHHRRR!!!!" Emily shouts then hurls lightning into the air and drops on her knees. "Why am I being denied Gordon? WHY?!" she says then cries.

"I know how you feel Emily I really do" he says assuringly.

Paulina looks at her friend then jumps into the speeder.

Back at Guardian HQ again Polygirl splits into 4 copies and goes to work. After several hours she manages to put together a machine that restores Emily back to her normal size.
