Chapter 180

The Calm Before The Storm is the One-Hundredth and Eightieth chapter of Lucas’ series Trey's Anime
The chapter starts with a door being opened at the hospital lucas is getting his 2 year post halogen battle check up at. Trey smiles and says thanks for agreeing to meet while you’re here lucas. The title is shown after this. Lucas gives Trey a drink while he’s sitting in the hospital bed. Trey says so they are keeping you here for 24 hours to monitor everything and make sure you’re still healing right? Even two years later? Lucas says the dark destiny swords power was strong and poisoning. They aren’t sure of the affects it may of had on him…so every half a year they have checked on the condition of his body to be safe. Trey smiles and says it’s better to be safe than sorry. And Lucas looks at him saying so what were you wanting to talk about? Trey looks at him and says what if I told you something big was coming soon? A battle on par with the ones we fought back in the lucas reaper war. Lucas says I know what you’re talking about. Defender called me in to ask for me to profile the cleansers… it’s about the multi pronged huge raid operation happening in a few months right? Trey says yeah… they’re getting us all ready to fight for if things get ugly. Trey thinks he’ll probably have to face halogen again…but that it’ll be different. He said what he saw when they last met…he was on a whole different level. Lucas looks at Trey worried. Trey says last time he spoke to halogen it was weird…he asked for treys help in stopping the grand overlord. Even after halogen relentlessly tried to off Trey and his Friends in the past…hurt people he cared about…and even killed Grace…he can’t understand why he spared Trey on the ship. Even if he was already injured it was a perfect chance to finish him off. Not only that but he saw how halogen raged for his friend when wifey got hurt back in Dallas. Lucas says its true reaper was uncaring in the deaths of any of his Allies, and halogen has shown compassion for them before and mercy. But it doesn’t mean trey can prevent a tragedy by himself. Trey says I saw a glimpse of light in him and I wonder if there’s a way to end this peacefully… in any way at all. He remembers halogen saying he’d likely have to kill him next time they meet. Lucas says Trey… it’s good to have that positivity but…also keep in mind that death can be a form of mercy as well. No matter what happens, or how you collide…remember that you’re strong. There’s a reason I decided for you to succeed me. I’ve seen you stand through storm after storm and come back stronger each time. You’re the right person to lead the heroes someday in the future. You can become the greatest hero. Trey wipes his eyes and says but you’re the strongest lucas! What if I can’t surpass you. Lucas says you’ve already far surpassed me in strength and ability, and your ability to bring others together. No matter how the raid goes. I believe in the future you’re building. Trey nods and says thank you for giving me this chance, and I’ll do everything I can to stop this crisis like you would have done for us!! He smiles holding Lucas’s hand and looking at him. Lucas nods and says of course! He thinks Trey will make a fine successor…I just hope he can bear the potential outcome of his battle with halogen. We fade away and see entity saying that halogen has been in the tube for a week. It’s beginning. He’ll make the opening for the heroes when they arrive, and hold out until that day. We see squawks helping a drunk gyro get back to his room and he says man you’ve gotta watch yourself… gyro says thank you bestie… squawks thinks that if they don’t make the first move, they will lose. We see team Trey partying and defender looking at his picture of Emily.  It says 4 months later, the beginning of may.  Lucas is looking out his window and thinks it’s strangely calm outside. Trey narrates as we see a view of Shreveport, Dallas, and other cities battles have taken place in minus where the raids are, and says that on that day, the top heroes of the world disappeared from their cities… end of chapter. And act 2.
