The year’s 2050. The world has fueled through what feels like three decades of bullshit. Luckily though, in 2048 a random soda company out of nowhere just dropped into the universe. They called themselves “The Soda Gods”. <br><br>According to the CEO, sodas were made by a higher power, hence the name. The name of the sodas were tied to the Greek gods, with flavors ranging from Zeus’ Lemon Lightning, Hera’s Heartfelt Cherry, Hades’ Hellfire Ginger Ale, and then the list just keeps going on. <br><br>They dropped a big factory in Texas, and opened up a bunch of stores all around the country. <br><br>They were so big and popular, they even made a travelling superstore that hit places in South America, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Canada, the UK, and more. <br><br>And what made sodas from the Soda Gods so special? Well, that would be you get superpowers for an hour after drinking it. <br><br>So I was bored one day and wanted to test it out. I bought a bottle of Zeus’ Lemon Lightning and drank it. <br><br>Nothing happened for a whole minute. Then I felt something coursing through my veins. <br><br>I looked at a fire alarm on the roof and then I could shoot lightning from my fingertips. <br><br>It was so cool. <br><br>Unfortunately my hour was over. <br><br>I had no idea how long it took for the effects to wear off, so I decided to check their website. <br><br>According to the website, “ sodas effects will take hours to wear off. Please be aware of how long the effects take. We are not responsible for harm caused by sodas during an extended period of time.” <br><br>That’s super vague, but it’s something. <br><br>I spent the next few weeks just buying soda after soda, testing to see what type of powers I’d get. <br><br>Out of all the sodas, only two had given me physical powers; Zeus’ Lemon Lightning and Hera’s Heartfelt Cherry. <br><br>Zeus gave me powers of lightning, and Hera gave me powers of super strength, speed, invincibility, and flight. <br><br>I then started trying out the sodas of the Greeks other than gods. <br><br>Out of all the people, only two had given me physical powers; Narcissus’ Narcissistic Narcissus Flavor and Prometheus’ Punishing Pine. <br><br>Narcissus’ Narcissistic Narcissus Flavor gave me the powers of dreaming, telekinesis, and super strength. <br><br>Prometheus’ Punishing Pine gave me the powers of fire manipulation and shadow manipulation. <br><br>So I had four sodas and five different powers. <br><br>I decided to test the limits of the physical powers and I realized I could do whatever I wanted and nobody could stop me. <br><br>I robbed a bank. I stole $1 million and got away with it. <br><br>The next day I had an idea. <br><br>I’d force sodas out of the CEO. <br><br>I went to the main factory in Texas and found the CEO’s office. <br><br>I saw the CEO. <br><br>He was surrounded in a room of bottles. <br><br>All the bottles were filled with what looked to be liquid gold. <br><br>“Where’s your regular stock of sodas?” I asked. <br><br>“ I’ve discontinued the stock. I wasn’t getting enough money. With this special formula, I get double the money and double the power.” <br><br>I charged at him, but he was ready. He cracked open a bottle filled with liquid gold and downed the whole bottle. <br><br>He now had super strength. <br><br>He punched me through the wall. <br><br>He cracked open another bottle and downed it. <br><br>He now had super speed. <br><br>He super sped through the factory. <br><br>I got up and cracked open a bottle too. <br><br>I downed the whole bottle. <br><br>The liquid gold tasted like Zeus’ Lemon Lightning. <br><br>And that’s what I got. <br><br>I now had lightning powers. <br><br>I shot lightning bolts at the CEO, but he was too fast. <br><br>He was super speeding around the factory, avoiding my lightning bolts while cracking open bottle after bottle. <br><br>He now had powers of super strength, super speed, lightning manipulation, shadow manipulation, telekinesis, fire manipulation, flight, super strength, and invincibility. <br><br>I super sped towards him and punched him. <br><br>But I had no effect. He was too strong. <br><br>I shot a lightning bolt at him, but he flew out of the way. <br><br>He shot a lightning bolt back. <br><br>I telekinetically levitated the lightning bolt back. <br><br>He now had ten powers, but I had eleven. <br><br>He flew towards me and telekinetically lifted a factory machine. <br><br>He threw the machine at me. <br><br>I dodged, but the machine landed on a sodaman. <br><br>A sodaman was a worker for the Soda Gods. <br><br>I had too fly over to the sodaman. <br><br>That’s when I realized I had the power of flight. <br><br>I now had twelve powers: lightning manipulation, shadow manipulation, telekinesis, fire manipulation, flight, super strength, super speed, invincibility, dreaming, super strength, invincibility, and dreaming. <br><br>I was filled with too much power. <br><br>I needed to end this fight. <br><br>I telekinetically levitated a liquid gold bottle and telekinetically broke it. <br><br>I telekinetically levitated the liquid gold to my lips and telekinetically made myself drink it. <br><br>But I only drank a little bit. <br><br>I saved the rest. <br><br>I telekinetically levitated the rest of the liquid gold into a random bottle lying on the ground. <br><br>The bottle was empty, so the liquid gold fit in perfectly. <br><br>But how was I going to find my way back to this bottle? <br><br>I cracked open the bottle I was drinking and then I downed the rest of it. <br><br>I telekinetically levitated the bottle to my face and then I licked it. <br><br>It tasted like Hades’ Hellfire Ginger Ale. <br><br>I now had powers of super strength, super speed, lightning manipulation, shadow manipulation, telekinesis, fire manipulation, flight, invincibility, dreaming, super strength, invincibility, dreaming,telekinesis, and hellfire manipulation. <br><br>The power of hellfire manipulation allowed me to sense anything that tasted like Hades’ Hellfire Ginger Ale. <br><br>The CEO cracked open another bottle. <br><br>He now had thirteen powers. <br><br>I had fourteen. <br><br>I telekinetically levitated him into the air. <br><br>He flew towards me. <br><br>I punched him. <br><br>He was punched to the ground. <br><br>He was down for the count. <br><br>I telekinetically levitated the factory machines. <br><br>I telekinetically made them dig a hole. <br><br>I telekinetically levitated the CEO into the hole. <br><br>I telekinetically made the machines bury him. <br><br>I now had my powers. <br><br>I had sodas filled with liquid gold. <br><br>But what about the rest of the world. <br><br>I had been given the power to help people. <br><br>I was going to be a superhero. <br><br>And so was born the legend of the Soda Woman. <br><br>I kept the CEO buried under the factory, but I eventually got bored. <br><br>I telekinetically levitated him into the air. <br><br>He was awake. <br><br>“You may have won this battle” he said “but you won’t win the war.” <br><br>I telekinetically made him shut up. <br><br>“You should not have done that.” I said. <br><br>I telekinetically levitated him into space. <br><br>I telekinetically made him float. <br><br>“You will be punished” he said. <br><br>I telekinetically made him shut up again. <br><br>“You don’t know my true power” I said. <br><br>I cracked open a bottle filled with liquid gold. <br><br>I downed the whole bottle. <br><br>I telekinetically made the CEO shiver. <br><br>“I have the power of dreaming. <br><br>I am going to dream you into your own personal hell.” <br><br>The CEO started screaming. <br><br>And then- <br><br>Everything went black.
