Egged on by Professor BrainDrain, the crowd turned angry—and ugly—fast. “O Boy! This way!” Stench yelled as he pulled me toward him. He may not have been in full possession of his power, but he still had the size and bulk to knock away the nearest members of the mob who were pressing their way in my direction. “Stay in between us,” Tadpole hollered, suddenly at my right side. A moment later, Halogen Boy appeared on my left. “I’ll watch the back,” Plasma Girl added as I felt her hand on my shoulders pushing me forward. “Let’s get out of here!” With Stench plowing a way through the crowd, and the rest of my teammates acting as a protective cordon, we worked our way outward. But the mob still pressed closer. I was worried that even Stench wasn’t going to be able to help us, when suddenly the ground began to rumble. Tremor Park was living up to its name. The shaking threw Stench to the ground just as he was about to block the Cowpoke, who was swinging a rope and rushing right toward me.
