Defenders of the Universe

**The Defenders of the Universe** is a team of extraordinary individuals, with either superpowers or other special characteristics. Though primarily affiliated with the interests of the United Arab Emirates, the group's purpose was to protect global stability from inner or extraterrestrial threats. The Defenders of the Universe were first assembled as a result of when Ivan Shreikov attempted to kill the team with his yakuza army, forcing Ali Abouelfetouh to assemble a temporary alliance with a group of students to defeat Shreikov, although many students have been killed in the process. Afterwards, the remaining survivors located an abandoned island and renovated it to their primary territory, dubbing it The Junkyard. And ever since, the survivors begun fighting crime around the city of Dubai to prevent it from getting destroyed as it symbolizes their dead comrades, until Loai Ismail and Ali decided to bring back the dead using the Shards of Resurrection, which were located across the galaxy, forcing Ali to assemble a permanent superhero team known as the **Defenders of the Universe**, although Loai criticized the name as he thought it was too "exaggerated". The Defenders then succeeded in obtaining the Shards and resurrect the dead back to life (unintentionally also resurrecting Marwan Ahmad, a former Metropole High student who formerly betrayed them and joined forces with Shreikov) while dealing with a new threat known as the Phantom Ninja.

7 months later, with the expansion of the team, the Defenders' work ethics improved due to their constant crime-fighting sprees in Dubai. Meanwhile, Marwan returned to seek revenge on the Defenders for his death, although he was easily defeated. Unbeknownst to them, Marwan attempted to come back with something bigger in the form of the Carnage Crystal, a corrupted crystal from another dimension, prompting the Defenders to assemble one again and travel the Multiverse to stop him from obtaining the crystal.

## History

### First Establishment

The crew was first created during the war of the yakuzas, when a group of students (consisting of Ali, Moaz, Hashim, Salma, Yaseen, Loai, Kinan, Aly, Elias, Nermine, Najdat, and Tai) escaped the detention room (where everybody else was due to the Arena Battle), which was held captive by the army, and took refugee in an empty classroom. The group then formulated an escape plan and geared up with makeshift weapons to fight any nearby yakuza. They eventually managed to escape, but were stopped by a Mexican assassin who wanted to seek vengeance against Hashim for the murder of his father. The assassin then tried to kill Hashim but was held back by Tai, giving the rest of the team enough time to escape backing the school. El Guano then stabs Tai's neck, killing him, and then storms into the school in search of Hashim.
