Classic Saga

The Classic Saga, also known as the First Saga, is the name for the first six installments of the series. In this arc, the main villain is East, along with other villains including Randy, Shape Shifter, West, and Mind Reader. The installments in the saga are: Wrath of the Mountain, Woe of Wue, Shape Shifter, Dangers of Mind Reader, and The Hall of Elders. It took place starting in 2017 and ending in 2018. It was mainly focused on grounding New Morph City and expanding upon the XF Base and other magical attributes.

**Overarching Plot**

AJ, Tyson, and Ivan were three fourth graders in Ohio who were messing around when they heard of Deep Drive. Interested, they peered into the hole, but when Tyson came barreling toward them, the other two were knocked in, and Tyson was pulled with them. Eventually, after falling for a while, they landed in the Warped Forest. They were surprised to see an entire city in front of their eyes, and eventually wandered into the XF Base. Lexus looked into them and saw that all three of them had potential to be heroes. Ivan had the elemental power over nature, Tyson had power over nature, Ivan had wind, and AJ had energy.

During a surgery where his arm was amputated in a rodeo accident, East (who was dressed up as a doctor) poisoned Randy in order for him to become his servant. Randy was commanded to find the Orb, a demonic item that could corrupt anybody holding it. After struggling to do so, he finally stole it from the bank. Foli Jack tried to catch him during a chase, but Randy fled into the Warped Forest, and into a mountain. The mountain turned out to be Mt. Monster.

Ultra AJ and Wue tried to stop Randy and steal the orb before Randy got dark powers from the orb and would conquer the city. Randy got the side of Mt. Monster, and ash spilled all over, preventing Ultra AJ and Wue from stopping Randy. Randy received his newfound powers and began by trying to kill Aj and Wue. However, the smoke made it hard to see, and eventually he tripped into the volcano, and presumably died.

Sometime later, Sumida Tadao was brainwashed by East after being coaxed multiple times to find The Cube. Tadao eventually gave in, and forged an artificial one, as he was scared of getting in trouble for theft. When it merged with him, Tadao gained a blocky head, but also gained superhuman intelligence. He started to refer to himself as *West*.

West mainly wanted to kill Wue because of his status as the leader of the XF Base. He believed that doing so would weaken the superhero world. During his first few attempts to beat Wue, Wue mainly treated West like a joke. As West grew angrier, his power exponentially increased. His strength and stamina increased more and more.

Even though Wue seemed to be lighthearted, inside he was not. He wanted to find his missing father, whom was rumored to be locked away in a secret cave system. Wue traveled toward the cave, and had a series of traps and obstacles in his way. Eventually, he reached the end and found his father. After a happy reunion, his father warned him that in his dreams he saw that Wue may die--and told him to keep his eye out.

After finding his father, West returned to the XF Base, and attacked. SW, Wue, Aj, and Ivan all tried to fight him, but SW was killed during the fight. Wue eventually defeated West, and West gave up. West fled before he got captured.

Barely after the invasion, Shape Shifter appeared and dropped dozens of Shrink Bombs. Wue, XMan, and Tryson went on a mission to a sacred volcano rumored to be able to fix any magical sickness. Shape Shifter, knowing they would come, waited at the peak, and start a fight. Shape Shifter called for more bombs to be dropped, but ended up getting shrunk himself. Before he could do anything, he was scooped up and thrown into the volcano.

A week after the invasion, Shape Shifter took his chance. Mind Reader saw the best way to beat the heroes was to divide and conquer. So, he went to XF Base to steal Wue, but failed and accidentally caught AJ instead. He decided to make AJ more powerful and brainwashed him. He injected AJ with dark crystal, and promised it would rise up in his system in around a year. AJ did not know of this at the time. When the heroes arrived to rescue AJ and stop Mind Reader, the injection was halted, and so the crystal would take more like four years to rise up.

Feryina had followed, and while Mind Reader was fighting the other heroes and was overwhelmed, Feryina grasped Mind Reader's head and disassembled the artificial part of his brain. Now unable to fight, Mind Reader surrendered. He was sent to the XF Base Prison, and his lab was used as a base for the agents.

Eventually, East learned that he had a slim chance of winning. So, he gathered all of his henchmen (besides Randy whom had perished), his army of shadows, and marched up into the Hall of Elders and challenged the heroes to a battle. East's powers over darkness made it seem as if the heroes would lose, but Wue's Father activated the statues in the hall. Together, the statues and heroes were able to fend off East's forces. When East was the only one left, he was overwhelmed and lost the battle. When he did however, all the darkness in him left and he became the original normal human he used to be. The heroes saw no harm in letting the new East be a hero, so they let him be.
