"Hmmmm," Mike thought as he flew over, "I know just how to stop those big fellows!"
He dived toward the tanks and at such a tremendous speed no one could see him, he turned all of them upside down, leaving the men inside unharmed but terrified! Then, he took the cannons and buried their barrels in the ground! Mike made a quick patrol of the city and did the same with all the artillery he could find, then, headed back toward The Pentagon.
There he saw the building was well guarded, and decided once again to use his abilities for speed to the best advantage. He landed near the front of the building, well out of sight, then ran as rapidly as he could, inside, to the door of The War Room.
When he stopped and was visible once again, he found himself standing between two guards.
"Excuse me, gentlemen," he said, matter-of-factly, took a step backwards, then knocked the men out by bumping their heads together! They folded up into a neat little pile, to the floor. Mike dusted off his hands.
"I've always wondered if that really worked!" he said to himself, then hurried inside to find The Joint Chiefs. The five men were standing near the huge oak conference table, talking. When they saw Mike enter they spun around and became quiet, until one of them decided to call out,
"Who are you, and what do you want with us?"
"I'm a friend who wants to help you get out of here safely."
"How can we believe you're not with the rebels?"
"Watch this," Mike told them. He knew very soon more guards would come to see what had happened to their companions, so he went back to the metal double doorway and locked it. He had the impression to put his hands up to where the doors joined, and did so. Immediately his palms began to glow, as if they were on fire! Mike flinched a little with the tingling sensation the glow produced, but knew instinctively, what to do. He ran his hands up and down the crack of the doors and did this until the doors were sealed...fused shut!
"There!" he sighed, rubbing his hands together, amazed they weren't hot to the touch. "The guards won't bother us for a while, anyway. Would someone that was against you do that to protect you?"
"Well, I guess not," The General Of The Army replied, "unless you wanted to destroy us first, in your own unique way."
"I would never think of it. Look, I can get you out of here, and to the safety of your nearest Army command post, if you're willing to cooperate and do as I ask. Are you with me or against me?"
