## E1 - YESSIR!

???: There was once an idea to bring together a group of people, people just like you or I. That’s what we seemed to pride ourselves on, we were people.

A woman was blasted back by a towering figure. The demon Aeacus. Her eyes glowed red. She held out her sword with hatred in her eyes and expression. The sword was bent at the end, leaving a tip to cleave her enemies into pieces. A tall man wearing all leather stood in front of her. They stood on the red surface of hell.

???: Except well...we aren’t people.

She advanced towards him and slashed at him. He jumped back and swung a scythe on a chain. He wrapped it around her sword and pulled her towards him. They both shot blasts of fire into each other. The woman was knocked back. She dropped her sword.

???: A demon, An android, an immortal, a meta and a god.

He wrapped his chain around her leg and whipped her into the air and slammed her into the ground, making the burning red rocks fly up.

???: But gods aren’t supposed to be good people. You’ve seen the legends of Zeus and Odin.

She flipped around. He stood above her. She held out her hand, and her sword flew in the air towards her. He grabbed it out of the air.

???: The god we looked up to died.

He stabbed her through the stomach with her own sword. The sword seemingly reacted to her, and glowed red. Her skin was burnt by the sword.

???: What’s a team without it’s core? I guess it’s us.

Aeacus: You can keep that useless sword. But what I gave you, I’m taking back.

Aeacus plunged his hand into her chest and pulled out some sort of red demon power. It looked like a red mist. He put it away and looked down at his daughter.

Aeacus: You have some learning to do, Freya.

A shower was running in a small, rundown motel in hell. The shower was turned off. Freya walked out of the shower with a towel around herself. She changed into her normal clothes. She was mixed and wore a red leather jacket with a blue and orange top under it. Which came down to above her stomach. She wore short ripped jeans. Her blonde hair was short, and covered halfway down her face. She had fingerless gloves and small fighting shoes. She tried to summon her demon power. But felt nothing. Freya walked out of the motel. She saw normal people walking around. They all seemed to avoid her. An older man walked over to her. He had a grey beard and hair. He wore a suit and tie now.

Freya: Wow, looking fancy James.

James: As they say, the devil wears a suit and tie.

Freya: They love you here.

James: Yeah, so much so that the east kingdom is starting to get overpopulated.

Freya: That's why you made all these shitty motels?

James: A motel isn’t really what I had in mind. I want real housing for everyone.

Freya: Don’t go crazy trying to make a place too close to home. Kinda defeats the purpose of hell.

James: I suppose so. Either way, I haven’t asked in a while, how are the Sentinels doing?

Freya: Still disbanded. Why?

James: Freya, I’m telling you. You’d make a great leader.

Freya: Very funny.

James: You’ve matured a lot over these years. I’m telling you. You are the most fit to lead the team. I mean, Kara is powerful, and she had heart. But I think you have the tactical knowledge over her.

Freya: You calling me smarter than Kara isn’t much of a compliment.

James: The world needs the Sentinels even more now. There are no more heroes to protect the world.

Freya: I wouldn’t go as far to call us heroes. I have plans to start up Heaven and Hell PMC again.

James: That’s a military company. We need people like you to judge a problem and fix it. You need a contract from someone to solve a problem.

Freya: Look, I don’t need the Sentinels. You died, Sky died, we even lost my brother.

James: You were a good figure for Sky to look up to later in life, and you still can be.

Freya: Very funny. Sky’s dead. Maybe you are really becoming the devil.

James: I’m not kidding. Sky is alive, a different form from a different time.

Freya: Different form? What is she? A bird?

James: Different form as in different age. She looks just like Sky. But from, say 25 years ago.

Freya: What?

James: You want to know where she is? It’s my gift to you.

Freya: What? A consolation prize for losing my demon form?

James: You have more power than you think, Freya.

A man with long hair in a suit and tie was standing at a doctor’s office. A doctor came over to him.

Doctor: Mr. Kunai. Come in.

He came into the doctor’s office.

Doctor: We see that Cancer’s condition is critical. The doctors are baffled by this disease. It seems post-apocalyptic by nature. It’s a blocky virus that slowly spreads throughout her body. Her skin seems to be being replaced by this virus. She has outbursts where the virus takes over her body. She calls these knowledge states, and she called the virus the logic virus. We will get your best doctors to work on a cure.

Mr. Kunai: Do the best you can. Work fast. Do you know how long she has left?

Doctor: 4 years at most, but more realistically 2 years. I pray for her safety.

Mr. Kunai: Find a cure, I don’t know what I would do if she were to die from that virus.

Doctor: A disintegrating death, she said. May god have mercy.

Doctors were examining her virus, it ran from the bottom of her chin down to the middle of her chest. Her upper chest area was where it was the largest. She had long brown hair and brown eyes. She wore a black tank top, and arm warmers on her arms. She had two faded golden bracelets. She had a short skirt. It split at her waist into two pieces. She wore black pants and black shoes. She had brown wraps around her ankles. She got out of her seat.

Cancer: Hunter! Where have you been?

Cancer came over to Hunter and hugged him.

Hunter: God, you’re like a dog. You jump on me everytime I leave for two seconds.

Cancer: You should’ve bought me dog paws instea-

Hunter: Shut up!

Cancer: Well, I need to go to work. They said they needed me there.

Hunter: You know you don’t even need to work. I could give all those homeless people homes if I really wanted to!

Cancer: You should do that. That’d be really nice of you. But I don’t want to rely on you for everything.

Hunter: We could spend more time together if we weren’t both working.

Cancer: I just want to know how it feels to be a normal human here. This is what my world used to be like. It’s paradise.

Hunter: Okay, okay. Maybe we should plan a trip. You did want to see the world, right?

Cancer: Who doesn’t?

## E2 - ABSOLUTELY

A group of woman were standing outside of a warehouse. There were tons of men with guns and armor walking around. There was the head of the group, she had short orange hair, wore armor that fit to her skin and had a short blue coat. She had the Delta symbol on the back of her coat.

Delta: Alright, everyone ready…?

???: Yeah. Uhm, Delta. Do you know where Nox is?

Delta: Nox? She was just right behind me.

Nox jumped down silently. She had purple tattoos all over herself, she had red-orange hair that came down a little past her shoulders. She wore a top with animal skin over it that only covered her chest. Leaving her stomach open. She had tattoos all over her stomach. She wore pants that were rolled up to her knees. She wore Hermes’ boots. They were plated golden with wings on them. She practically appeared behind a soldier. She got him in a chokehold and dragged him away. She ran up to another guard and slid on the ground as she approached. She tripped him up into the air, grabbed his leg and slammed him into the ground. She saw a couple more people across the way. She quickly dispatched them. She jumped down a flight of stairs, and landed in front of a staff in a glass cage.

Nox: Wow, good job me.

She suddenly looked around. People surrounded her with rifles. Nox smiled. She summoned her speed and knocked out everyone around her in seconds. She grabbed the last guard by the neck and slammed him on the ground. Someone shot her in the back. She fell to her knees. She looked behind her and fired a blast of darkness at the guard, and engulfed him in dark. She threw him in the air. But then felt more and more blasts be shot into her. Every shot stung more than the last. Nox scowled, and her eyes turned pure black. Delta and her group of attackers jumped down and took out the rest of the guards. The last man shot at Delta. She put up her hand, and the bullet clinked off of it. Delta put her hand on his face. He was turned into stone.

Delta: What an asshole. This was my favorite glove.

Delta took off the glove that was damaged by the bullet. She had a robotic hand.

Delta: Get the staff out of here. Let me have a pep talk with Nox here.

Nox: Ugh, are you serious?

Delta: Yeah, we are serious. This is the fifth time you went in like this! You would’ve been dead without us. Listen, there’s no I in team. Get that through your thick fucking skull.

Nox: Teammates are a liability. I could’ve taken them regardless.

Delta: Look, I’ve tried to be lenient. You can carry yourself. But you need to learn what it’s like to be on a team, to meet new people. You know what? I think there’s no better time. Let’s go.

Nox: Where?

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Terra: You think she’s ready?

Delta: Well, no. I want her to learn how to be on a team. I know Hesial wants her. I’m throwing her to the wolves. She can handle it.

Terra: Well that’s the funny thing, that’s not really how the Olympians operate. We never really operate as a unit.

Delta: Is there any Olympians that are like…on duty? That Nox can work with?

Terra: I mean, there is one. I don’t know how much they’ll get along. Both of them are definitely assholes.

Delta: Well, that’s what I want! So yeah. Send her to that one!

Terra: No questions?

Delta: I mean, I think I know who it is.

Terra: Who?

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Nox was shaking hands with a woman much older than her.

Atalanta wore a blue top that only covered her chest. She had a faded blue tattoo. A water design. There was a droplet of water that went down her neck. And then what seemed like a waterfall going from her shoulder all the way down to her waist. She wore a short dress and tight blue pants as usual. She had golden sandals that acted almost like leggings. They went from her knees and around her feet like sandals. She had golden bracelets that dug into her skin. Her hands were a deep blue. They climbed up her skin like vines trying to take over an ecosystem.

Nox: You look old.

Atalanta: You look young and inexperienced.

Nox: So, apparently I need to learn to be on a team.

Atalanta: I mean, there’s only two of us. But we’ll make do. Hmm...what’s something we can do as a team?

Nox: Look, Delta sent me here to be on a team. So let’s just do a mission and get this over with.

Atalanta: Look, you’re going to be on a team. We can’t just half-ass this. Let’s do something productive.

Nox: Alright then.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Atalanta: Alright, grab this couch.

Nox: Are you serious?

Atalanta: That’s the mission. Helping me furnish my new home!

Nox: Are you serious? What, do you think you’re going to pull out your back?

Atalanta: Just figured it’d be nice to have an extra pair of hands. Here, you get that rocking chair for me. Those one’s my favorite.

Nox and Atalanta picked up a couple couches.

Nox: So you moved into South Carolina? Why?

Atalanta: City was too stressful. Plus people thought I was a streetwalker.

Nox: What a surprise…

Atalanta: Well, wanna help me get the kitchen table. We’ve gotta assemble it.

They grabbed the kitchen table and were assembling it.

Nox: So what do you do as an Olympian?

Atalanta: Uh...not much really. I mean. You can do cool stuff. It’s more about the benefits for me.

Nox: Benefits?

Atalanta: Shit, they don’t really matter too much now. I became an Olympian to provide for my son. But that doesn’t matter anymore. Since he moved. Almost like that tournament was just a big copout. Damn...

Nox: That’s what Delta says my fate is. To be an Olympian.

Atalanta: Well it probably is. Terra talks about it. So does Hesial. She called us Primordials. Maybe she wants to start again.

Nox: By the sound of the name, yeah.

Atalanta: If you expected a big exciting Olympian journey, sorry. Not really in the mood.

Nox: Not in the mood? What’s that supposed to mean?

Atalanta: So, you want some of Dionysus’ wine?

Nox: Uh, sure.

Atalanta opened her fridge.

Atalanta: Shit. I never stocked up. Guess we’ve gotta go out to get beer.

Nox: Where do we go to get more?

Atalanta: Florida, duh.

Nox: What? Why?

Atalanta: That’s where Dionysus is. May as well get some from him. So, why don’t you do the honors.

Nox: What?

Atalanta: You’ve got Hermes’ boots. Run us down there.

Nox: I guess I do. I’m not just doing errands for you!

Atalanta: You said you wanted to try it.

Nox: Fine.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sky was at her old house. Her mother, May was cooking food, and her father, David was setting the table.

Sky’s Mom: What do you think Kara thinks of roast beef?

Sky: She’ll eat anything, I think.

There was a knock at the door. Sky came over happily, and opened the door. Kara was at the door, in some new clothes. She was wearing a tuxedo and loose pants.

Kara: Long time no see Sky.

May: You’re Kara! Wow, I thought you’d be a lot more threatening in person.

Kara: My burns make me less threatening, I think.

May: They make you look cuter.

David came over and shook hands with Kara and greeted her.

David: So your disembodied arm was in our daughter’s closet…?

Kara: I guess so. Sometimes it’s hard to make my extra pieces go away. That’s why I like to reattach them.

David: Well, do you want to come in?

Sky: I hope you like Irish food, Kara.

Kara: Do you guys have biscuits?

Sky: ...Yeah.

Kara: Then yes, I do.

Sky: So Kara, where did you travel these last months?

Kara: I just started by stopping some cult leaders. Get this, this dude cut my head off and then almost fed me to wolves. I actually train to fight without my head. For situations like that.

Sky: You’re telling me you cut your own head off?

Kara: Sometimes.

May: It’s been a long time since we connected with a metahuman.

Kara: Well, I’m not a meta. I drank from the chalice of life. Still debating whether that was a good idea or not.

There was another knock at the door.

Sky: Who could that be?

Sky got up and went to get the door. She opened it and saw Freya standing there.

Sky: Hi. Who are you?

Freya: Oh my god...Sky…

## E3 - STILL DOPE

Hunter and Cancer were walking through the streets at night.

Cancer: Hey, Huntey. We’ve seen that group of girls pass by 5 times already.

Hunter: Yeah, who cares?

Cancer: I’m just saying, it’s weird.

Hunter: We don’t go out at night very often. This is probably normal. I remember weird stuff like that happening when I used to be out and about.

Cancer: I don’t trust it.

Hunter: You shouldn’t. But we can just ignore it.

Cancer: How far away is the apartment?

Hunter: Like 2 miles. We shouldn’t have walked all this way. I could probably call someone.

Cancer: No, no. It’s fine.

Hunter: I thought you were scared.

Cancer: I’m not scared!

Hunter: Okay then.

Hunter: I mean, I do know a shortcut. It means taking alleyways.

Cancer: We can protect ourselves though. Right?

Hunter: Yeah.

Cancer: I mean, I know you always stay strapped.

Hunter: ...Never say that again.

Cancer: Come on, it’s the cool slang I hear guys saying all the time.

Hunter: Even I don’t say that. Here, turn here.

Hunter led Cancer through his shortcut. As they were walking through the alleyway, Cancer heard someone talking to a group.

Cancer: Hey, stop.

Hunter: What?

Cancer: I hear something, talking.

Hunter: Come on. Don’t screw us over with your super-ears.

Cancer: Shh. Let me hear.

???: Sae, Tara, Silias. Your factions are ready for invasion. Whenever you’re ready, it’s your call.

Cancer: She’s talking about an invasion…

Hunter: What?

Cancer: We should do something.

Hunter: It’s probably nothing.

Cancer: I doubt it!

Hunter: Then look, alright.

There were some boxes stacked up in front of a window where Cancer heard the sound from. Hunter gave her a boost up the boxes. She looked in the window. It was just a group of people playing video games.

Hunter: What does it look like?

Cancer: It’s just some people playing video games…

Hunter: Yeah. Figured. Let’s just get going!

Cancer: Okay…

The people in the room playing video games put down controllers. It was two girls and one man. Sae’s arm and her leg from the knee down was replaced with prosthetics. All of them wore bathrobes. The woman who was talking to them stood in front of them. She had long pink hair. With a sleeveless skin-tight turtle-neck. With a breast-window. She wore a black coat lined with red over this. She had leggings along with black heels.

Sae: Continue, Lady Akane.

Akane: We will start the attack whenever you’re ready. Have you rounded up your soldiers?

Sae: Lady Akane, can we do one more round-up of soldiers? Please!

Akane: You are hungry for blood. I admire it. Oh what the heck, you all can have one more round.

They all celebrated. Sae, Tara, and Silias all got up and took off their bathrobes. Sae and Tara wore black sport tops and briefs. Silias wore a white v-neck and skinny jeans. They smiled, showing their vampire fangs.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Nox and Atalanta had gotten a car, they were driving down the backstreets of Orlando.

Atalanta: Olympians always keep other Olympians in the loop about their parties, 80% of the time, Dionysus is in Florida partying.

Nox closed her eyes and laid back in the passenger seat.

Nox: Hey...Do you smell that?

Atalanta: Smell what?

Nox: Blood.

Atalanta: Wow, you’re so edgy you can smell blood?

Nox: No, Terra taught me how to enhance my senses. Stop the car.

Atalanta: Ugh, fine.

Atalanta pulled over and parked. They got out of the car. Nox followed the smell.

Atalanta: Where the hell are we going?

There Silias was. He was leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette.

Nox: You! Do you think you can hide that smell?

Silias: What? The smell of a cigarette? Are you some sort of tree-hugger.

Nox: The smell of blood.

Nox slammed Silias against the wall.

Nox: The fuck are you doing?! I can smell it emanating off of you!

Silias dropped his box of cigarettes and lighter. Atalanta picked up a cigarette and a lighter and lit a cigarette.

Silias: I don’t know what you’re talking about. Crazy bitch!

Nox: You know exactly what I’m talking about!

Silias: Then what’s that on your face?

Nox put her hand to her face, while holding Silias to the wall. She somehow had blood on her face.

Nox: What did you do?

Silias: What did I do? Nothing. I was just smoking!

Cancer: Hey! Back the hell off! What did he do?

Nox: This bastard your friend?

Cancer: Just back off from him!

Atalanta: Nox…

Nox threw Silias away, she ran at Cancer and threw a kick. Cancer jumped back and grabbed Nox’s boots telekinetically and threw her in the air, and then pushed her backward.

Hunter: Just our luck. We find that one thug with superpowers.

Cancer: Look...she’s got blood on her.

Nox: Atalanta! Why didn’t you stop Silias?

Atalanta: He turned into a bat and dipped! Not my fault! Maybe he’s a vampire. Pay attention to what’s in front of you.

Two gigantic swords landed next to Cancer. She made them float in the air next to her.

Hunter: Burning heart of Fafnir…

Two blue transparent wings came from behind Hunter. They also took the form of hands. The necklace around his neck with a dragon on it glowed blue.

Atalanta: Well, you did say you wanted to work as a team.

Nox: I guess I did. I’m taking the girl.

Nox ran at Cancer and threw another kick. Cancer picked her up and pushed her back again.

Atalanta: Don’t you see it? She can control metal. Looks like you’re going without Hermes’ boots.

Nox: It’s fine. I can fight without these.

Nox kicked off the boots.

Cancer: Look! Just back off and we can work this out! This was probably just a misunderstanding!

Nox: Yeah right.

Hunter: I doubt she’s going to listen.

Nox approached Cancer. Cancer slashed one of her swords at Nox. It smashed through the wall next to them. Nox jumped over the sword and kicked Cancer in the face. She jumped back and swung her other sword. Nox did a back handspring to dodge. She jumped forward, but was hit by Cancer’s sword in the side. She was slammed into the concrete wall, and then throttled by Cancer’s sword. Smashing the wall to pieces. Cancer smashed her other sword into Nox’s stomach. Nox felt her stomach twisting by the hit. She was blasted through the building and out the other side.

Atalanta: Alright, that’s enough.

Atalanta held out her hand. She shot a blast of water at Cancer.

Cancer: Pfft. Water?

The blast of water hit Cancer in the stomach, and she was blasted down the alleyway. Hunter caught her. She rang out her now soaked hair. Hunter took out his pistol. He shot at Atalanta. She made a wall of ice in front of herself. Atalanta fired a puddle of water in front of herself. She sank into the water. She came out of the puddle formed when Cancer rang out her hair. Cancer slashed her sword at Atalanta. Atalanta blocked it with her spear and slid off of her sword. Making sparks. She slashed at Cancer. Cancer tanked it with her armor. Atalanta spun and kicked backward. Smashing Cancer through the wall. She fired a blast of water at Hunter. He blocked with his wings. Hunter took out a sickle. He held it with both of his hands, and his wings cracked their knuckles. A dragon’s head came above Hunter’s head.

Atalanta: Look, if you back off, I’ll back off. You seem like a reasonable guy.

Hunter: I would’ve at first. But now you’ve kind of pissed me off. Especially your friend.

Hunter slashed his sickle. Atalanta made a shield of ice to block it. Nox stepped out of Hunter’s shadow. Her eyes started to flicker with lightning. She raised her hand. A blast of lightning crackled down. Hunter, Atalanta and Cancer were all blasted back. They shielded their eyes. When the light cleared, Nox was holding a lightning bolt.

Nox: Atalanta, get out of the way.

Nox held out both of her hands. She fired a huge blast of lightning at Cancer and Hunter. Someone jumped in front of Nox as she shot the blast of lightning and held out their hands. The lightning blast raged and raged, but was slowly dissipated. Through the debris that came up, was Sky in her superhero suit.

Nox: Who are you?

Sky: Who are you?

Sky was almost bursting with energy. She fired the energy built up from the lightning bolt into Nox. Nox was blasted into the road and into a van on the street. She hit it so hard that it tipped over.

## E4 - BATTY BOYZ

Sky turned around and came to Cancer, Hunter and Atalanta’s aid.

Sky: Are you all okay?

Cancer: Take her out too! She was helping that girl!

Atalanta: Hey, I was just making sure she didn’t kill herself.

Sky: Okay, you all need to get out of here before the cops arrive.

Hunter: We’ll all be outed as metas, and probably get burned at the stake.

Cancer: I’m not even a metahuman!

Hunter: You’re close enough.

Atalanta: I think another problem, we are really dealing with vampires. Whether you like it or not. That piece of shit from earlier turned into a bat! If that’s not a vampire thing, then I don’t know what is.

Kara came down the alleyway with Freya following.

Freya: What’d he look like?

Atalanta: Had a white shirt, skinny jeans. Long blonde hair and a beard. Oh, and he was smoking these cigarettes.

Freya: That’s Silias alright...

Kara: Silias? Do you think Akane has something to do with this?

Freya: Silias is one of her key members.

Atalanta: Nox was freaking out, thinking that this Silias killed someone.

Kara: So what do we do?

Kara looked at Freya.

Freya: Why are you looking at me?

Kara: You know Akane. Who would be better fit to lead a mission?

Freya: Let me remember what the fight against Akane was like. I mean, she would send out her people. Last time it was Sae, Silias, and Buffy.

Kara: Well, you killed Buffy.

Freya: If she sends people out in groups of three. Then they probably split up to control some more people.

Cancer: Control people?

Freya: That’s what vampires do. Their bite can do all kinds of different things. They could kill you on the spot, give you nightmares, or even control you. Kara, Sky. Come on.

Cancer: Hey! Me and Hunter are coming with you!

Hunter: We are?

Cancer: We can help stop these vampires with our powers! Plus I guess I kind of caused this, when I stopped Nox from hurting Silias.

Freya: We don’t need extra luggage.

Hunter: Extra people seem like it’d be a necessity right now. We can split up to find the rest of these vampires.

Kara: What about you?

Kara looked at Atalanta.

Atalanta: Guess I’ve got nothing better to do.

Hunter: Isn’t that girl there your responsibility?

Atalanta: She’s over 18. Not my problem. But I guess I’ll help. So no vampires eat our brains or some shit.

Cancer: Awesome! Looks like it’s a team!

Everyone but Cancer & Sky: No it’s not.

Freya: So, let’s split up.

Cancer: Me and Hunter will go together.

Freya: Sky, do you want to help me?

Sky: Sure!

Atalanta: Looks like we’re the odd ones out.

Atalanta looked to Kara.

Kara: I guess so.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Kara and Atalanta were walking through the alleyways. Kara was sorting through missing papers.

Kara: We’re going to check out this guy’s apartment first.

Atalanta: Alright. What’s this dude look like?

Kara handed Atalanta the paper.

Kara: So hey, you’re an Olympian?

Atalanta: What makes you think so?

Kara: The glow to your eyes. That’s the only thing that changes.

Atalanta: You’ve got that right. You ever met an Olympian?

Kara: I’ve met a couple in my years. I once met Hermes, taking an old friend to the underworld. Then there was Yuri.

Atalanta: Yuri? The one who attacked Olympus? She isn’t an Olympian.

Kara: She was. A long time ago. The old Sentinels fought Yuri.

Atalanta: You fought Yuri?

Kara: She was more than a menace to Olympus. She would destroy planets. She was a conqueror of worlds. Until we stopped her. She was completely insane. We locked her up in one of our houses in a B.L.A.D.E cell. Until Hades came to us. He said that it was under the orders of Hesial, that they’d take her to the underworld. So we had no choice but to give her up. Then she was set free somehow, and that was history.

Atalanta: Yuri really has been everywhere, huh?

Kara: I guess so. She was insane. Screaming about her wings. Something like that.

Atalanta: Well, I guess we should get looking, huh?

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Freya: You really do look like Sky...But way younger.

Sky: Yeah, that’s what everyone says.

Freya: How...How are you here? How are you real?

Sky: It’s a long story...But I’m from a different dimension. I was brought here from a dimension that was destroyed when your Sky died. It’s complicated.

Freya: All that matters is that you’re here. I mean, you look just like her. You act like her too.

Sky: I do? Really? I’ve seen you in memories, memories that aren’t even mine. Who are you to me?

Freya: I...I guess I’m a friend. We used to work together.

Sky: It’s just...I would have flashes of my other self's life. Flashes to times when she discovered new powers. You were always there.

Freya: There’s this guy who said I was a good figure for you. All that matters now is that you’re here. So, show me what you’ve learned.

Sky: I guess I should look around. Scan the area.

Freya: Alright.

Sky lit up, her hair flew up in the air. Like she was in space. Or submerged in water. She flew over Orlando, looking for signs of vampires. She looked at a certain house, that looked old, and then looked behind herself. A beam was fired into the air, she flew out of the way.

Sky: What the…

A bat group of bats flew past her. One bat was lingering behind. It flew above Sky and stopped. Sky looked at it for a second, and watched as it turned itself into a human. Sae jumped onto Sky and bit her on the shoulder. Sky’s powers were deactivated, and she fell through the Sky with Sae wrapped around her.

Sae: Wow, you taste great! Young blood is my favorite!

Sky tried to throw Sae off of her, but they landed on the ground. Sae let go and grabbed onto the side of a building with her robotic arm. Sky fell ontop of a car, the alarm started blaring. Cancer jumped out of and alleyway with Hunter behind her. She helped Sky off the car.

Cancer: Are you okay?!

Sky: Yeah. I think I’ll live. Look up there!

Sae stood ontop of a building. She raised her hands.

Sae: It’s time!

Groups of brainwashed humans came out of houses. They were like zombies. Other humans, who weren’t turned, screamed, got into their cars and ran. Cop cars came up on the scene. A cop came out of his car.

Cop: Metahuman! We have metahumans on-

Hunter came up to the cop.

Hunter: Hey! We’ve got this handled!

Cop: Who are you to tell me that you have this handled! I’m an officer!

Hunter: Have you met my father? He served, twice, then came back and became a sheriff. Officer Kunai. This place is under our jurisdiction. Now get out of here!

Cop: What are you talking about! That means nothing!

Hunter: You see that building? With the name Kunai on it? That’s my company. I could have you buried in debt, and I wouldn’t even have to win a case. I am the law, officer. Plus this is clearly better handled by experts. I mean, these are zombies and vampires. What’s going to help you? A glock-40? No.

Cop: I’m...I’m calling back officers.

The cop cars left.

Cancer: Wow, he was that stupid?

Hunter: Fell for the easiest trick in the book.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Atalanta came out of a bathtub. She was disgusted when she looked down, and saw that she was covered head to toe in blood.

Atalanta: Well, if this isn’t it. Then I don’t know what is.

Kara had called Freya to her. Atalanta opened the window to the bathroom. Kara and Freya were outside.

Atalanta: Check this shit out.

Freya: Why are you covered in blood?

Atalanta: Like I said, check it out.

They saw a bathtub filled with blood next to Atalanta.

Atalanta: Quite pleasant. Isn’t it?

Akane walked into the door.

Akane: It really cleanses the soul. Trust me.

Freya: Long time no see, Akane.

Akane: Wow, you aren’t looking too bad for a 50 years old.

Freya: Yeah, you look good for a 500 or so year old.

Akane: Are you trying to lead the Sentinels again? You remember what happened last time? I had to put down a lion!

Kara grabbed Freya’s sword from her, and blitzed Akane, slamming her against the wall with Freya’s sword stabbed through her chest.

Freya: Kara! Seriously?

Kara: Don’t speak ill about Lionheart.

Akane: I can say whatever I want. Especially considering this is a super realistic illusion of me.

The illusion of Akane disappeared. They heard Akane’s voice everywhere.

Akane: Why would I let my real self be discovered here? I like to present myself in a manor that is...well. Unexpected.

They heard what sounded like a super loud airplane engine overhead. Everything around them was illuminated in light. They got out of the house and looked up. Hunter, Cancer and Sky were taking down vampire-people, when they saw the colossal craft fly above them. It was so bright it looked like it was daytime. From the bottom of the spacecraft, came a gigantic ramp. Which toppled over buildings. Sky warded back Cancer and Hunter. The ramp slid across the ground, uprooting the street, crushing and pushing cars back, and destroying buildings. A group of 7 beings walked down the ramp. One of the seven being Akane.

## E5 - DR WHO DAT?

The aliens looked down at Freya, Sky, Kara, Cancer, Hunter and Atalanta. Who had grouped together now, looking up, puzzled at what they were seeing. They all stood on two legs and had the average physique of a human. But they were clearly not anything close to human. There was a scientist-looking girl at the end of the line, a little girl with a hulking beast of a man behind her with black skin, a skinny reptilian girl who wore a bra and briefs like Sae, then there was Akane, next to what could only be described as a king. He had red skin with black marks on his skin and arms. He seemed to wear no shirt, but did wear pants and huge purple boots that go all the way up to his knees. His hair is huge, and black. It’s held back by a golden crown on his forehead that goes back and holds his hair down. He had a big cape flowing down his back. There was also a little creature on his shoulder. His eyes and mouth were all black. He seemed to be made of rock. He was all grey. With blue spots on himself.

King: Kaybian. Are you ready?

The king picked up Kaybian and threw him off of himself. As Kaybian flew through the air, he enlarged into a colossal giant, something one would see in their nightmares. Kaybian had to be about 100 feet tall.

Kaybian: Meet our King, and your King. King Rava!

Everyone but the aliens had to cover their ears to plug out Kaybian’s booming voice. This was an announcement to everyone around. Not just them. King Rava walked down the ramp at the Sentinels.

Atalanta: Hey assholes! I get you’ve probably been waiting years to take over Earth. But now isn’t really a good time. I’ve got this friend, who you really don’t want to piss off. I would just turn around and hightail your happy asses out of here.

King Rava walked down more and more, until he got head-level with everyone.

King Rava: Why would I give up this opportunity? I love humans! You all have these...powerful, powerful brains. I’ve been trying to find an angle. But you just kept cutting me off. The key to a species survival is brainpower. I must be talking to one of the dumber variants of you.

Atalanta: So that’s it. You look down on us?

King Rava: I don’t look down on you.

Kara: Freya...What do we do?

Freya: I don’t know! We don’t even know who these guys are!

Kara: We’re a team now. We might be the only protection against these guys.

Freya: I know. But I’m no damn leader.

King Rava: I look up! I want earth to join my empire.

Hunter: Do we have a choice?

King Rava: Hmm...It always takes so long for your people to make a choice as one. Especially the whole world! So I made the choice for you! That’s what kings do. We make the hard choices so you don’t have to.

Atalanta: The ego on this bastard…

King Rava: Gila, Kuzu,Nozob and Bozon. Take them down.

The reptilian girl, the scientist, and the little girl and monster all jumped into the air. Sky flew into the air and punched Bozon. Bozon grabbed her arm.

Bozon: Nice try, weak human!

Bozon spun in circles, faster and faster, and threw Sky away. She was blasted through buildings. Kuzu put out her arm, and turned into a human form. With the same long white hair, but a younger face. She made a scythe out of blood. Atalanta fired a blast of water at Kuzu. She turned herself into blood, and moved through Atalanta’s blast of water, and slammed her scythe down at Atalanta. She stepped back and took out her spear. She kicked Kuzu and slashed her spear across her stomach. She gushed out blood. More blood than normal. Out of Kuzu’s puddle of blood, came a clone of herself.

Atalanta: What the hell is going on?

Gila landed in front of Kara and took out a shortsword. She started slashing at Kara rapidly. Kara blocked with her staff. Gila jumped on Kara’s staff and did a flip over her. She slashed her sword down her back. She took out a knife and stabbed Kara in the back again. Gila cut herself on the wrist, and threw her blood onto Kara. Which set on fire and burned Kara on the back. Kara kicked Gila in the face and hit her back with her staff.

Kara: Now you’ve pissed me off.

Bozon landed next to Nozob.

Bozon: Shall we butcher these puny humans?

Nozob: Remember, we can’t kill them. Rava never kills his first catch.

Bozon: Screw Rava!

Hunter shot Bozon in the chest. He ignored the shot.

Bozon: You want to shoot me? Shoot Nozob! Bullets actually hurt her!

Nozob: Why would you tell him that?

Freya was next to Hunter.

Freya: Let me take care of them.

Hunter: Sure.

Freya slashed her sword at Bozon. He blocked her sword with his arm. Nozob had a sai, but the blade was much longer. She created tons of sai around her and made them fly at Hunter. Hunter blocked with Fafnir’s wings. He took out a katana. He slashed at Nozob. She slashed at his Katana, and it was broken in two by her sword. She spun around and stabbed Hunter in the leg. Cancer made one of her greatswords come at Nozob. It stuck in the ground. Nozob kicked Hunter towards Bozon. Bozon blocked a strike from Freya and pushed her away, laughing. He close lined Hunter. Freya slashed right at his face. He caught the sword with both of his hands and kicked Freya in the knee. Her leg was turned inside out, and she fell down. Cancer slashed her other sword at Nozob as she jumped in the air. Nozob turned intangible and became tangible just as she hit the ground. She stabbed Cancer in the stomach.

Sky flew in and kicked Nozob in the face. She hit her so hard, that Nozob’s head was crushed from Sky’s kick.

Bozon: Oh thank god! You killed her, she really annoyed me.

Kara kicked Gila in the stomach. She fell back, getting to her feet quickly. Kara heard some rumbling. Kaybian’s foot was coming through the woodwork of a house. Kara was kicked into the air by Kaybian’s foot. She wasn’t hurt necessarily, just carried into the air. Which was the part she dreaded. Kuzu came from behind Sky and hit her with her scythe. Sky went flying. She stopped herself in the air and fired a blast at Kuzu. Kuzu’s clone was blasted into nothingness, and Kuzu stood behind it.

King Rava: Ugh, this is taking too long…

Rava teleported behind Atalanta. She turned around and slashed her spear at Rava. Rava grabbed her spear and spun around. He made Atalanta stumble, and fired an energy blast into her back. She stood up. He kicked her in the face twice and shot a blast of energy into her stomach, which sent her flying. He appeared in front of Sky and stopped her energy blast. Sky’s head suddenly throbbed.

King Rava: Your mind is interesting...It’s fractured. A dimensional fracture maybe. I’ve never seen one in person. It would be quite a shame if I tore the fracture.

Sky fell to her knees, on the verge of tears letting out pained screams. Nox came out of practically nowhere and kicked Rava away from Sky. He slid just a little. She fired a blast of darkness, which covered Rava. He shot a blast which broke him free and teleported behind Nox. He palmed her in the back of the neck. Knocking her out.

King Rava: This world has so much more potential than you are allowing it. Let it flourish! A flourishing world doesn’t need you people in it.

## E6 - CELLZ

Kuzu was back in her alien form. She had white hair like her human form. She wore a labcoat, and a metal chestplate that seemed to be pumping some sort of chemical into her body through tubes. She wore black skinny pants. Her skin was a pale pink, and she had red marks on her body. Which seemed natural. She had a long pointed tail coming from the back of her coat. She was smiling as she walked down a hall of jail cells. Sky was chained down in her cell. Cancer and Hunter were in normal cells, Atalanta was strapped to the wall, so was Nox. She walked further into a research lab. Kara and Freya were both attached to tables. Kuzu went over to Kara.

Kuzu: Scalpel?

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hunter leaned against the wall of his cell.

Hunter: Hey, can anyone hear me?

Cancer: I think we can all hear you.

Atalanta: They took Kara and the other demon one.

Nox: Who the hell are you people, and why am I trapped with you?!

Atalanta: Things got out of hand. I don’t think we were expecting for aliens to show up.

Hunter: Well, what were you two doing in Florida?

Atalanta: What are you doing in Florida, Mr. Businessman?

Hunter: I own a business in Florida. That’s what I was doing.

Atalanta: Well we were in Orlando looking for alcohol.

Hunter: What? What are the odds that you’d find us?

Atalanta: Nox’s nose, I guess.

Nox: There was clearly something going on with that guy! I know it!

Hunter: Yeah! We know it too! Shut up! There were vampires. Congratulations, you were correct about something.

Atalanta: Hey, isn’t there another one of us here?

Nox: What?

Atalanta: You know, the one who kicked your ass.

Cancer: Stardust?

Hunter: Her name’s Sky.

Cancer: Do you know her?

Hunter: She was an employee. Did shitwork for me. I fired her.

Cancer: Really? Why?

Hunter: Well as you would say, I’m a drug-addicted racist womanizer.

Cancer: Don’t say that!

Hunter: Hey, Sky! Are you up over there! Earth to Sky!

Sky was sitting in the middle of her cell. She seemed to be unconscious. She was inside of her mind. Looking at Rava.

Sky: You invaded my mind…Get out of here!

Rava: I’m sorry. Once I’ve planted my feet here I can’t seem to leave.

Sky: What is this place?

Rava: A prison you won’t be leaving anytime soon.

Sky: Where are we?

Rava: On an island. It doesn’t matter anyway.

Sky: Then let me ask questions about you.

Rava: Well, I’m bored. Ask me something.

Sky: You want to conquer Earth. Why?

Rava: Well, let me show you.

Rava showed Sky space. They were looking at the solar system. He turned her around, showing her Earth.

Rava: That spaceship was one of my vessels. My real ship is just outside the solar system. Where it’ll be a bit harder for B.L.A.D.E to spot.

Rava showed Sky exactly where his ship was sitting. It was gigantic. The size of a planet, even bigger than the B.L.A.D.E vessel. It was the size of a sphere, like a stereotypical ufo. There was a ring around it, spinning over and over the sphere.

Rava: How does it look? Other-worldly?

Sky: Oh my god...

Rava: B.L.A.D.E has sent their soldiers. Their soldiers died. Even the rest of the brainwashed fodder that are like you.

Sky: CI soldiers…? They're still around?

Rava: I know I must’ve come in at a bad time. You and those other people will team up against me. If I see any of you in person again, I will melt your brains. Or maybe I’ll put you in a simulation loop. I said that I admired a human’s brain. You're almost as smart as my species. But the brain also falls for everything. It makes assumptions. Tries to fill in the blanks. That’s why I’m superior.

Sky: You really like to talk. I’ve fought threats to this dimension. A couple world conquerors are nothing.

Rava: I can also tell when you’re lying. You’re terrified of us. Of the weight that’s on your shoulders. You also seem scared about this little team outing you may be having. It’s gone wrong before, right?

Sky: Get out of my head.

Rava: I think I’ll be here for a while.

Sky saw a vision of Rava’s ship flying above a planet. Rava was inside of the ship. He walked up to a cannon and put both of his hands into it. The cannon drained his power. Five cannons lit up. They all joined together to make a larger blast. The planet was blasted apart.

Sky woke up with a startle. She heard Hunter talking.

Hunter: You don’t have your bracelets. I wonder where they put them.

Cancer: Hunter, you could use the thing.

Hunter: I really don’t want to use the thing. I can work my way out of here.

Hunter went over to his mattress.

Hunter: How nice of them, they got me a mattress.

He flipped over his mattress and pulled out one of the springs. He took off his belt and ripped it open, it had a stretchy material. He looked up at the camera, and made sure to hide the contraption he had made from the cameras.

Hunter: Okay, I have a plan.

Cancer: And? What is it?

Hunter: I can’t tell you.

Cancer: What? Why not?

Nox: Cameras.

Hunter: Cancer, I need my insulin shot.

Cancer: Insulin shot?

Hunter: Are you stupid?! For my diabetes!

Cancer: Oh yeah!

Hunter: My vision’s already blurry…

Cancer: Listen, next time the lady comes through we’ll get you some help. Okay?

Hunter: Okay, okay. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner.

Cancer: And I should’ve asked for a less diabetic partner.

Hunter: Very funny.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Kara let out a wince as Kuzu slashed into her.

Kuzu: Could you heal a little slower? You really must be annoying to do surgeries on.

Kara: Never had the problem.

Kuzu: Okay, I’ve had enough of you. Onto the demon slayer herself.

Freya: Yeah, I’m dying to know what you’ll cut into first. What even compels you to slash us into bits?

Kuzu: Well, your demon heritage. I’ve always wondered what’s going on with you. Well, medically. I’ve operated on many creatures across the universe.

Freya: Then why do you take the form of a human so often?

Kuzu: I’ve been here for over 30 years. Studying and surveying this planet. I was one of Rava’s inside agents.

A couple other scientists came in with Kuzu’s lunch.

???: Kuzu, it’s lunchtime!

Kuzu: Yes! Lunch! Are any of you hungry?

Kara: Kind of, yeah.

Kuzu: Arm or leg? I like the breast. Sometimes the fat is actually good if you cook it the right way too!

Freya: Arm or leg...to what?

Kuzu: Human, of course!

Kara gagged.

Freya: I’m good. You’re disgusting. That’s cannibalism!

Kuzu: I’m an Icuger. Not human. So it isn’t cannibalism. The rest of the people here, who are on my diet. Are humans. So that is cannibalism. You know, great apes eat their own kind. Sand tiger sharks eat their siblings in the womb. Why is it such a taboo? Either way, I’m going to eat in the other room in peace.

Kuzu took her food and left the room. Leaving Kara and Freya alone.

## E7 - MEAT GRINDER

Kara and Freya were alone in the research room. They sat in awkward silence for a while.

Kara: So...Sentinels.

Freya: I know we ended on a bad note.

Kara: Obviously we did.

Freya: I saw what you did when Akane brought up Lionheart. So I’m sorry about Darkstar, Kara. That’s all I’ve wanted to say.

Kara: I think I’m past that now. I’ll never forget the rest of the team, though. I think the Darkstar incident really showed that you are fit to lead us.

Freya: We lost Lionheart. How did that prove anything?

Kara: You remember how you were when we fought Yuri? Unstable. You stayed collected in that fight. I can tell you’ve matured. You’d probably be like Atalanta in there if you hadn’t brought yourself together.

Freya: That’s all James wanted out of me. He wanted me to lead.

Kara: James?

Freya: He’s a king of hell. It’s a long story. But he leads the east kingdom of hell. I talk to him from time to time.

Kara: Oh my god...really?

Freya: He said that I was a good leader, and that I was a good role model for people like Sky. I came looking for you because of Sky. Then there’s those extras.

Kara: I think they’ll want to help. They clearly have the power necessary.

Freya: Did you see the blast of lightning that girl shot at Sky? Their clearly strong.

Kara: We’ll especially keep an eye on the girl then. She’s a loose cannon.

Freya: Yeah.

They saw Kuzu walking through the room. She was muttering to herself about condiments.

Freya: You forget some ketchup?

Kuzu: Yes, actually.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Kuzu walked down past the cells. She heard Cancer crying.

Kuzu: Oh wow, little girl. You can’t take enough?

Cancer: My...My boyfriend! He’s in the cell right next to me! He needs an insulin shot!

Kuzu: Insulin? You’re telling me he’s diabetic?

Cancer: Yeah! Please! I think he passed out! Please get him some help! Please!

Kuzu: Oh my god! Shut up!

Kuzu took out a key and went into Hunter’s cell. She picked an “unconscious” Hunter up.

Kuzu: I should eat him before he starts breaking down his own fat and muscle…

Kuzu walked away with Hunter.

Cancer: Where are you going with him?

Kuzu: To get him some insulin. Obviously.

Kuzu brought Hunter into a gigantic factory. There seemed to be what looked like gigantic meat grinders. Hunter let out a pretend cough.

Kuzu: Hey, what’s wrong wi-

Hunter gripped a shiv he had made. He slashed the tubes that were pumping chemicals into Kuzu. She fell backward, and instantly began gasping for air. Hunter took out some sort of slingshot he had fashioned and shot it at Kuzu. She was stabbed twice with the bed springs. Hunter grabbed the keys to the cell and ran. Kuzu was getting angrier and angrier. She turned into her human form. Hunter burst through the door to the factory. He grabbed shelves, everything around him he could and blocked off the door. He went to a table and found Cancer’s bracelets. He grabbed them along with the dragon necklace and his other gear. He came over to Cancer’s cell, which was the closest to the exit. He opened her cell and grabbed her hand. He dragged her out of the exit. She made her greatswords come to her. They ran out of the jail cell area, which was like a cave. They exited the cave, and overlooked a cliff.

Hunter: Come on! Let’s go!

Cancer: I…

Hunter: We don’t have time! Come on! Give me one of your swords.

Hunter took one of Cancer’s swords.

Hunter: Jump! Break our fall with your powers!

Hunter and Cancer jumped holding onto her greatswords, she made them fall slower with her powers. They landed in the freezing cold water and grabbed onto Cancer’s swords. They floated in silence for a while.

Cancer: Hunter...We need to go back.

Hunter: Are you serious? Cancer, I’m not too ecstatic about being on a team with those people. We should just go home. Go back to our normal life.

Cancer: Hunter, this is our chance to fight for something greater than us. I mean, since I got on Earth, I’ve been looking for a purpose. This is our chance to find that purpose. To save people, and it starts on that island.

Hunter: Your virus is only going to get worse if we keep going like this! We can’t put you at risk.

Cancer: Yes we can. I know you want to protect me and find a cure. But I’m not going to pretend I’m defenseless. I can fight. I’m not going to stop living a life so you can cure my disease. Come on. Let’s save the world!

Hunter: You’re going to go anyway, huh?

Cancer: You’ve got that right.

## E8 - RAP AMBUSH

Atalanta, Nox and Sky watched as Kuzu scrambled through the cells in her human form. She seemed like she was still gasping for air. She ripped out the springs Hunter had stabbed her with. She pressed a button on the side of the wall, a compartment opened up, and she grabbed a mask and put it over her mouth. She took a second to catch her breath.

Atalanta: Wow, a human beat your ass. That’s some impressive shit. Or maybe it isn’t, and you aren’t as strong as you make yourself seem.

Kuzu: You want to trifle with me? I’ve been here since the very beginning! I’ve seen the meta civil war, I saw volantes rise! I saw Mr. Untouchable die! Olympians are nothing new to me. I’ve been surveying this planet for hundreds of years! You open your mouth again, and I’ll kill you!

Atalanta: Take me down from here, see what happens.

Kuzu: I’ll gut you from up there!

Kuzu created her scythe made out of blood.

Nox: Look what you did now.

Kuzu: I need quiet! Quiet!

One of Cancer’s greatswords came flying down the jail cell. Kuzu turned, and was stabbed through the torso by the huge sword. It slammed her against the wall. She turned into blood, and became a pile of blood on the floor.

Cancer and Hunter stood at the end of the hall.

Sky: You guys are back!

Cancer ripped open Sky’s cell. She slashed the chain that Sky was attached to. Her power now started to flood in. Out of the pile of blood on the floor, Kuzu stepped out. Then more and more clones of herself followed.

Hunter: Cancer, go get everyone out.

Cancer: You’ll be okay?

Hunter: You can help me? Right Sky?

Sky: Uhm, yeah, of course.

Sky fired blasts down the hall at the Kuzus. They seemed much stronger than the ones from before. They all made scythes from their blood and blocked the blast. They ran at Hunter and Sky.

Hunter: Burning heart of Fafnir…

Fafnir’s wings and head came from Hunter’s back. Fafnir breathed fire at the Kuzu clones.

Cancer came over to Atalanta and Nox and freed both of them.

Nox: Yes...Feels good.

Nox ran up to a Kuzu clone and punched it in the face, so hard that Nox punched straight through its head. Atalanta fired blasts of water at the clones from the back. They were broken down into blood as Atalanta increased the pressure.

Sky flew down the hall and blasted through some Kuzus. She opened the door to the lab. Where Freya and Kara were. She could tell it was the real Kuzu, since she had her mask on.

Sky: Rava made it seem like this place was a lot harder to break out of than it really is. I figured a huge alien empire could make a better jail.

Kuzu: I figured snot-nosed kids like you would’ve died after one touch from Rava.

Sky: Well, it certainly hurt. Listen, I don’t want to kill you. But I assure you, all my friends are dying to kill you.

Kuzu: Are you stupid? You cannot kill me! When I’m in this form I’ll just reform! I’m blood. I will always find myself if I’m broken apart!

Sky: I don’t think that’s stopping them.

Sky cut the straps that were holding Freya down. Freya jumped off the bed she was held down by. She punched at Kuzu. Kuzu caught her hand. Freya suddenly felt blood leave her system. Kuzu created a spear out of blood and stabbed down at Freya. Kara grabbed the spear as she brought it down and took it from Kuzu. But it just turned into blood. Sky lit up both of her hands and fired a big blast at Kuzu. She was disintegrated into a pool of blood. The pool of blood disappeared slowly. They went into the hall. Hunter shot his golden pistol through a bunch of Kuzu’s heads. All the clones continued fighting, and the real Kuzu appeared at the cliff. Hunter turned to see the real Kuzu.

Hunter: There’s the real one!

Kuzu threw her scythe at Hunter. Cancer pushed him to the ground. She came out of her scythe and grabbed it in the air. She caught Cancer and slammed her against the wall. Knocking her out. Nox punched at Kuzu. Kuzu dodged under and punched Nox in the stomach. Nox grabbed Kuzu’s arm and kicked her back. Kuzu stood at the cliff.

Kuzu: You will all fight until you die! I cannot die!

Atalanta: Alright, time to pull an Oceanus.

Atalanta fired some water on the ground and fell into it. As Kuzu was laughing at the cliff, Atalanta blasted her into bloody pieces. Kuzu’s body was ripped apart from the inside. She was blasted apart as Atalanta emerged from inside of her body. Atalanta was covered in blood.

Atalanta: So you’ll reform. Hopefully I didn’t get any in my mouth.

Atalanta walked away from the bloody mess and fired some water at the blood, pushing it off the cliff and into the water.

Atalanta: Should take her a while to reform now.

Hunter helped Cancer up.

Cancer: Jeez…

Sky: Guys, how are we going to get out of here?

Freya: Build a boat?

Hunter: Or take the one on the beach.

Kara: You know Kuzu has followers, right? Their bound to come after us.

Hunter: Then let’s get the hell out of here!

Cancer helped everyone off the cliff by flying them with her sword. They made it to a small motorized boat. They all squeezed themselves onto the boat.

Hunter: Everyone on?

Nox: It’s crammed!

Atalanta: Well I’m guessing you’d rather be off this island than anywhere else in the world.

Hunter: Yeah. What she said.

## E9 - MORE RHYMIN

Hunter was steering the boat towards where the team assumed there was land. They were driving a little dingy, which was still slowed down by the 7 people who were on the boat. The boat probably would fit 4 on a good day. They sailed through the empty ocean for a little longer until they heard the motor sputter out of gas.

Hunter: And...we’re out of gas.

Nox: Great! How do you expect us to get moving now?

Kara: You could get out and push us.

Hunter: We’re close, I see land in the distance.

Sky: That’s definitely Florida.

Hunter: I wonder where we were.

Cancer: You guys see that...right?

Everyone looked over the horizon as the gigantic ufo Rava had landed on Earth with came into view.

Kara: They didn’t leave…

Atalanta: What’d you expect them to do? Hightail their way out of here?

Kara tapped on Freya’s arm. Signaling for her to make the call.

Freya: Uh...Guys, I know some of you aren’t here by choice. But I’ve seen all of you fight. Whether it be with your fists or with your mind. There was once an idea to bring together a group of people, people like you. I’d be doing justice to an old friend if everyone here would be willing to stick with me to take down these invaders.

Sky: Finally. Freya, what was the team called…!?

Freya: Sentinels.

Sky: I’ve been waiting for his day for a long time. I want to do justice to the old me I guess. I’m in!

Atalanta: Well, I have no meaning right now. My son left. That’s all I’d been fighting for over the last 20 years. So why not. I don’t mind a little side story where I kick some alien ass.

Nox: I don’t like teams. You’ll all just be a pai-

Atalanta: Too bad! You’re under my protection. Delta wanted you to learn to be on a team.

Nox: Whatever. I guess I’m fine with killing some aliens.

Atalanta: What about the married couple here?

Cancer: I said it to Hunter before, I come from a different dimension. Once I got here I didn’t know what to do. I was looking for a purpose. This is my calling to really save people. To help them.

Hunter: If Cancer’s in, then I guess I’m in.

Freya: Then that’s that. This is the chance for you to fight for something bigger than yourselves.

Atalanta: Not a half bad announcement. I’m guessing you’re new to this whole leader thing.

Freya: To leading a team like this, yeah.

Cancer: Who's considered an original Sentinel here?

Atalanta: Should be pretty obvious.

Cancer: You are? I didn’t expect that.

Atalanta face-palmed.

Freya: Me and Kara are. That’s the least complicated way of explaining it. There used to be 5 of us in total.

Kara: There was always five of us at a time. Guess seven is a pretty big number.

Sky: Wait. So was there another member I don’t know about?

Kara: Her name was Angel. She left the team after...complications.

Hunter: Complications? You know, I’m pretty sure I’m the only human whose ever been on this team, and you’ve lost what, three members?

Freya: Risk is kind of part of the game. No matter what there’s going to be some sort of risk.

Cancer: Huntey, if you really are uncertain, you don’t have to do this.

Hunter: No, I’m alright

Freya: You seem like a smart guy. I think you’ll be okay.

Kara: It’s nice to finally have the team back together.

After some more drifting through the ocean, they arrived at a beach on Florida. Tons of people were sunbathing and playing games on the beach.

Cancer: Why’s everyone looking at us?

Atalanta: We’re all dressed like clowns, and we just pulled up from out of nowhere in a dingy with no gas. Like, look at me, and what about you girl? What’s with those super long glove-arm legging things?

Cancer: My arm-tights? Their comfy.

Atalanta: Oh, so that’s what their called. Where’d you get that armor? Looks pretty badass.

Cancer: Off a robot.

Atalanta: Robot?

Cancer: My dimension was taken over by robots.

Atalanta: Is it the classic post-apocalyptic story? Did they wipe out most of humanity.

Cancer: I think so. I can’t believe this is what my world used to be like. People lived with no fear.

Atalanta: Maybe the occasional fear or existential dread. But usually it’s shit like “oh shit is my coffee burning?” Or “Fuck did I drink all the booze last night?”

Cancer laughed.

Cancer: Is it really? I just want to find something that brings meaning to my life. My meaning used to be just to survive.

Atalanta: What were you surviving for?

Cancer: Well...I guess for my family? Just surviving to survive.

Atalanta: There you go. You never did have a real “meaning” by today’s standards. Isn’t there also that shit on your chest?

Cancer: My virus?

Atalanta: Yeah, I heard Hunter say something like that.

Sky: I think it’s really admirable that you still find a meaning in life even though your sick.

Cancer: I’m not just sick. I’m destined to die. But if that was all I was worried about then I may as well just kill myself right now.

Nox: We’re all destined to die.

Atalanta: Is all you spout teen angst?

Nox: I’m just saying. She just dies sooner. That sucks. Doesn’t it?

Atalanta: You know, you should be much more aware of your situation. Look at Cancer over here, pouring her heart out to me!

Cancer: It’s fine. Hunter here was just like her one time.

Hunter: Very funny.

Freya: Hey, guys. Stop.

Everyone stopped and looked ahead.

Kara: You know, we should’ve questioned why people were on the beach in the middle of an alien attack.

People were all walking around town like everything was fine. There was no feeling of fear or worry.

Nox: Hey, someone’s coming.

Cancer: Behind!

Everyone turned around to see Bozon and Nozob. Nozob was short, and wore black and red. Her hair was partly red, she wore a black and red outfit, with arm tights and leggings, along with a one piece suit and a short skirt. Above her was Bozon. He was extremely buff, and standing. He had a huge mane like a lion going from his head down his back, along with horns. He also had a gigantic tail, and huge hands that were also claws.

## E10 - MICROWAVE MAYO

Sky: How’s that little girl back?

Bozon: I’m glad you asked! It’s really annoying when this happens. She just never seems to die!

Nozob: It’s because I am you. Dumbass.

Bozon: Don’t call me dumb!

Bozon took out a gun and shot Nozob in the head. Everyone jumped.

Bozon: God that feels so good. But then this happens!

Bozon started shaking violently, Nozob formed again from his body. She fell out of his torso, and stood up.

Nozob: Don’t do that again! This is an emergency! These pieces of shit from earlier came back! They could’ve killed both of us while I was forming!

Bozon: They're all pussies. They wouldn’t do that.

Nox: Enough messing around! Let’s get this show on the road!

Bozon: As much as I would love to, that can’t happen. Welcome to the Florida United Killers!

Kara: You did that just so your acronym could be fuck?

Bozon: Fuck? No it’s F.U.K. Not F.U.C.K. Where’d you get the C?

Nozob: It still says the same thing…

Bozon: Don’t take sides!

Freya: So what’s this horrible acronym?

Bozon: Well, you will be paired up into groups, of my choosing of course. To fight the top rated killers!

Sky: Like assassins?

Bozon: Florida is now the first country that is free of laws! So I began an association where people can fight and kill for fun! Now your whole metahuman problem is fixed! They’ll just kill each other now!

Nozob: Since they know they won’t be hunted like dogs in Florida.

Sky: You’re making a bloodsport? These people are just fighting for no reason!

Bozon: Of course their fighting for a reason! To be number 1! Or number 2. Because I’m number 1.

Freya: So if we play your game, then we’ll be able to fight you two?

Bozon: Yes! I’ll be training!

Nozob: Bozon, you should just make all the killers team up and kill them right here!

Bozon: Then the killers will kill each other! There’ll be no more fun! So do your little party trick! The right way! Make sure their paired up the way I wanted them!

Nozob: Yeah I know.

Nozob started reciting a spell.

Nozob: Audite Meus Dico, Doe ocki minos!

The Sentinels were highlighted with a blue aura, and teleported all over the city.

Kara landed in the middle of an amusement park. It was devoid of life. She stood up.

Kara: Ugh...Rule 1. Never agree to a game like this…

Kara looked around the area. She was in some sort of play area.

Kara: Rule 2, don’t get dropped in the middle of a demonic play area.

She looked around, there were all kinds of animatronics. She looked at a cart that was on rails. There were guns inside of the cart, and little spots on the animatronics to shoot with the guns. On the guns it said “bananarama”

Kara: It’s the Banana man shooting game...I remember I came here once with that kid...Axl.

She kept walking through the park. She heard a scream. She ran towards where the scream was coming from. She saw that the animatronics were moving around. Cancer had been dropped in the area with all the animatronics, and she was cowering.

Kara: Their not even attacking you…

Kara came over to Cancer. She tapped her with her staff. She shrieked.

Kara: Hey! Cancer! It’s just me! It’s Kara.

Cancer grabbed onto her staff.

Cancer: Get me out of this hell!

Kara: Oh my god…

Kara took out a gun. She shot the robots that were moving in their gigantic mechanical heads.

Kara: Their dead, Cancer.

Cancer: G-Grab my hand.

Kara grabbed her hand and helped her over the short fence.

Kara: Are you okay?

Cancer: Y-Yeah. I think so.

Kara: There has to be someone, or something around here controlling these animatronics.

Cancer: There’s more that can come alive?!

Kara: Yeah, there is.

Cancer: Good god…

Cancer made her greatswords float around her. They saw a large blue pulse come through the building. All the animatronics around them started to move. Not just in circles, but out and over their respective territories. They started to close in on Cancer and Kara.

Cancer: This is a nightmare!

Kara: Why are you so scared of robots?!

Cancer: Considering they took over my world and killed about 3/4ths of my population I think it makes sense!

Kara: Look, they can’t hurt us like your robots can. Just swing your huge swords at them.

Cancer swung one of her greatswords at a bunch of robots. They were easily toppled by her swords.

Kara: Look! You have much more power over them than you think!

Cancer: Yeah, I guess so. Over these ones!

Kara: You literally control metal. You control them!

Cancer held out her hand, she realized her hand was shaking. But she lifted a robot up in the air and closed her hand. It was crushed.

???: That’s enough! Enough! I thought these scary things would be enough to scare you out of a fight. But I guess I’ll have to fight you all myself.

Cancer: Who are you?

???: I’m Electron!

Kara: That’s a dumb name.

Electron had tons of metal parts on herself that all lit up blue. She wore a metal reactor on her chest. Along with a white undershirt. She had leggings on that had blue lights going from top to bottom. Her hair was pink, and she had a large red cape. She had gauntlets that seemed to make it so she could control electronics. She fired a stream of lightning at Cancer and Kara. She hit Kara, and burnt her skin a little. She went flying back. Trying to deal with her burns. Cancer stood there, ready for a fight.

Electron: You’re nothing compared to a superhero!

Cancer: You think you’re a superhero? You’re insane! Superheroes are supposed to help people.

Electron: Well, I am helping the world. By removing you from it. I’m helping the people here. This is a sport!

Cancer: It’s a glorified cockfight!

Electron: A sport is a sport, and I’m quite competitive.

Cancer: Are you even a metahuman?

Electron: No. I’m human. But this place now has potential for a different future. A greater future.

Cancer made one of her greatswords fly at Electron. She moved out of the way, and took control of the lights. She turned the lights of the ride off. It was almost pitch dark. Except for the glowing red of the animatronics, and the glowing blue of Sam.

Cancer: You can’t even see me!

Cancer felt something grab her arm, then claw her back. She screamed and jumped away.

Cancer: No! B-Back off!

Electron: Bozon had us research our targets. I heard you were afraid of robots. You had evil robots in the dimension you came from? Animatronics are all controlled by humans. It’s all humans. Maybe it was really evil humans. Not AI. AI is made to be controlled, and it always will be!

A robot slashed Cancer across the chest, on her virus. She let out a cry and activated her powers. She made every single animatronic around her fly into the air. She made them fly at Electron. Who dodged all the animatronics. Electron walked up to a madly in pain Cancer. She held her hand over her virus.

Electron: So this hurts?

She put her hand on Cancer’s virus. She cried out in pain. Then Cancer heard the sound of a gun ring out. She felt blood splatter on her. She saw off the light from Electron’s armor a hole in her chest.

Kara: Tell me your real name.

Electron: Sam, Sam Byung-chull.

Sam fell on the ground. Dead. Cancer took off her armor and top. Her virus showed through her skin. She now wore some sort of skin-tight shirt. Which showed her virus over it. She tucked in a ball. She was breathing heavily and blubbering.

Kara: Cancer…! Cancer!

Cancer’s skin felt like it was scalding. The virus burnt into her. Disintegrating every cell in its wake. Her virus spread even more down her body and a little more over her chest.

Kara: Hey...Can you get up, are you okay to…

Cancer: Not yet...J-just make a promise to me.

Kara: What?

Cancer: Don’t tell Hunter about this. He’s already worried enough as it is.

Kara: Shouldn’t he know?

Cancer: He’ll get more worried. The only reason he’s on this team is because of me. If he found out things were getting worse fast then he’d probably want to leave.

Kara: What...What does the virus do?

Cancer: It’s the logic virus. It spreads all over us, once it spreads all over us, we disintegrate into nothing.

Kara: Oh my god…I can’t imagine that type of pain. You live life like this?

Cancer: It’s the only way I can live. May as well make the most of it before I...Y’know. Aren’t you immortal? You must be lucky.

Kara: It’s not as great as you’d expect. I make friends, then they die. It’s lonely. I just kind of...float through life. You make the most out of life, since you have so little of it left to live.

Cancer: I guess. I’ve got a really long bucket list.

Cancer took out an incredibly long list.

Kara: Oh my god…

Cancer: You want to go over it while we find everyone? Oh! You’re immortal! Name off some awesome things you did. Maybe I can do them!

## E11 - SUPERVILLIANZ

Sky landed on a beach, that was now empty. She flew up in the air and looked around. She looked over and saw Hunter climbing down from a lifeguard tower.

Sky: Hey! Hunter!

Hunter: Oh, so they teleported us together.

Sky: Yup! I guess.

Hunter: …

Sky: Hey, Hunter. What’s wrong?

Hunter: Nothing’s wrong.

Sky: Well, you seem different since the last time I saw you.

Hunter: Yeah. When I cussed you out and made you leave since you were a metahuman.

Sky: ...Yeah.

Hunter: Ugh, I’m sorry about that.

Sky: Well, I guess it says something good about you. Is it that girl? Cancer?

Hunter: She’s definitely made things different.

Sky: How?

Hunter: You wouldn’t care. Plus you probably wouldn’t agree.

Sky: Come on! I’m pretty understandable. I’ll keep my lips sealed. Promise!

Hunter: Fine. I’m doing research into the virus that Cancer has. Trying to find a way to cure it. I could be doing more research into it if I wasn’t here! Plus her virus probably gets worse when she’s being so active.

Sky: So you’re worried for your girlfriend? I get it. I bet my boyfriend is worried about me.

Hunter: Cancer has two years to live. Which means I have to find a cure in that time.

Sky: It’s almost like that virus is what makes her herself. She’s trying not to waste a second of her life. Obviously you’re smarter than me. But don’t kill yourself trying to find a cure.

Hunter: Sure.

As they walked down the beach, they ran into a wall of rocks, with a little place in the middle for them to squeeze through. There were two women standing there. They looked identical.

Sky: Are you the killers we’re looking for?

???: You look like the prey we’re looking for.

???: My sister here is Aliyah. I am Alaysha.

Sky: Are you coming up with a plan here, Hunter?

Hunter: I’m thinking.

The two siblings created different types of water-based weapons. One created a whip out of water. The other created an ice spear.

Sky: You two are metahumans…

Alaysha: We are.

Aliyah: Are you surprised that we’re so exposed? Out in the open. It feels good to breathe fresh air! We’ve lived in the sewers for years!

Alaysha: Aliyah...Look over there. That’s not just any normal opponent. That’s Stardust!

Aliyah: Doesn’t change the fact that I want to gut her!

Alaysha: No, she’s a celebrity. How have you not been prosecuted yet?!

Sky: What?

Aliyah: By B.L.A.D.E!

Sky: Oh...B.L.A.D.E’s attacked me on several occasions!

Aliyah: Then you agree with us. That metahumans should be free!

Sky: I mean, yeah. But not like this! You’re killing people, killing each other. I think heroes need to return. Metahumans should be allowed to live free, not be hunted and killed by humans.

Aliyah: As expected. You’re just about as goody-two-shoes as I expected.

Sky: I’m willing to get my hands dirty. Don’t worry.

Alaysha: Look over there...That’s Hunter Kunai.

Aliyah: What are you doing over there with that metahuman?! You hate us!

Hunter: Maybe I had a change of heart. Or I’m doing this for fun.

Aliyah: Haha...That’s what I like to hear! Draw your weapons!

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Nox woke up in some sort of factory.

Nox: ...Looks like I’m on my own.

She started walking around the factory.

Nox: Hey! Anyone in here?

???: Just you and I as of now. You are Nox Lorenz, are you not?

Nox: I am. What do you go by?

???: Harry.

Nox: Well, Harry. It looks like you chose the wrong person to fight. I’ll try to make your death quick.

Harry: Wow, you are quite confident. You ever lost a fight?

Nox: I’ve only lost a fight to one of the most powerful people alive on this planet.

Harry: Well, I get the feeling you’re lying.

Nox: Why would I lie about such a thing?

Harry: I’ve seen lots of your past. You’ve lost many fights. What is it that makes you feel so entitled? Those boots? Your newfound freedom from your mother?

Nox: Alright, that’s enough talk.

Nox activated Hermes’ boots. She ran straight at Harry. Who took out a spear from his back. He slammed it on the ground by the flat end. A blue field came around them. Nox was just about to punch Harry. The field started to slowly get smaller.

Harry: Hmm.

Harry took out his phone and put in some earbuds. He turned on some music and got loose. He leaned in and looked at Nox’s face. He took a selfie with her. He kicked her in the leg, Then did a couple kicks and punches to her face. As the field got smaller and smaller, he slashed Nox across the back with his spear. When the field went away, Nox took all the hits at once. She was hit from every side, and then fell down from the slash with his spear.

Harry: Another point on your losses.

Nox: Fuck off. I’m not done.

Harry: Of course you aren’t.

Harry fired a gun at Nox. The bullet didn’t pierce her skin. But she was visibly hurt from the bullet. Harry turned around suddenly. To see a sword flying at him. He slammed his spear on the ground again. A smaller field appeared around him. He grabbed the sword out of the air.

Harry: Wow, fate really wants you to die.

Harry lifted the sword, and then felt it pull on him. He lost balance and fell to the ground. Nox kicked the spear out of his grasp. Harry stood up quick and kicked Nox in the side.

Harry: Was that you? Wow! That was impressive.

Harry picked up his spear. Freya broke in through the roof of the factory, which was made of glass. She slashed at Harry, clashing her sword with his spear.

Freya: Charge-up times really suck. That’s why I retired my older swords.

Freya broke from the clash and slashed Harry across the stomach. He fell down spitting out blood.

Harry: You think killing me really means the end for me?

Freya stabbed Harry in the back.

Freya: Yeah. That’s the whole point.

Freya grabbed Nox’s hand.

Freya: Get up. You know, you are a horrible team player.

Nox: I...I know. Look. For this one, I owe you one. I guess I have to like...try teamwork or something.

Freya: God, you remind me of myself. Stubborn and arrogant.

Nox: Thanks.

Freya: That...Isn’t a compliment.

Nox: Y’know, I almost used my chaos form on that bastard. He got lucky.

Freya: Chaos form?

Nox: I get covered in dark, my eyes go white. Then I go beserk. It doesn’t last very long. But I become super powerful.

Freya: Do you have control of it?

Nox: That’s the thing. It only happens when I get really pissed off. Which is a common occurrence.

Freya: That’s how I used to be with my devil form.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sky flew through the air and fired down a blast at Aliyah and Alaysha. Aliyah grabbed Sky by the foot with her whip. She dragged Sky from the sky to the ground. Alaysha blocked a strike from Hunter and Fafnir. She created a big fist made out of ice and punched Hunter in the gut. He went flying backward. Alaysha and Aliyah turned around Aliyah was beating Sky. Alaysha created a hammer out of ice and slammed it into Sky. Hunter watched as this happened. His face grew remorseful.

Hunter: Fuck it.

Hunter took out a different clip for his gun. It read “BOOM”. He put it in his gun.

Hunter: Sky! Shield! Now.

Sky created a shield around herself. Which wasn’t going to last long. Hunter paid attention that the siblings were close to the end of the beach, where there was a large wall of rocks. Hunter cocked his gun and shot a single bullet. On impact with the rocks, the bullet exploded. Causing an avalanche of rocks onto the siblings and Sky. Hunter practically bit his fingers waiting to see if he had made the right call. Sky fired a blast through the rocks and flew out. She quickly got to the ground, panting.

Sky: Risky, but it was a good call.

Hunter: I guess I just went with my gut.

## E12 - BUMPY’S MESSAGE

Atalanta landed on top of a building. She looked down. She was up high, on some sort of skyscraper. She was nearly touching the clouds.

Atalanta: God…don’t look back down.

She looked around, and saw a man standing in front of her. He was tall and muscular. And was wearing some sort of spandex suit with a D in the middle of the suit. He had a long cape and a mask. Atalanta nearly jumped out of her skin.

Atalanta: Jeezus Christ! Where’d you come from?

???: Just making my rounds for the day! What are you doing up here, lady?

Atalanta: I’m here to fight you, I guess.

???: Your going to commit suicide? A simple job for Dr. Destruction Man!

Atalanta: What's the Dr part for? Why don’t you just be destruction man?

Dr. Destruction: Calm down. Calm down. I’m here to save you!

Dr. Destruction had walked closer to Atalanta, seemingly trying to comfort her. But she saw the twitch in his eye. It was like he was holding back a monster.

Atalanta: Look, this act is stupid. Stop it.

Dr. Destruction: What act? I’m a goddamn superhero!

Atalanta: Back off. Don’t touch me. Goddamn superhero my ass!

Dr. Destruction: Exactly what I like to hear.

He smiled for the first time in their encounter. He was reaching out his hand, as if to help Atalanta, and then extended it, and pushed her off the skyscraper. She fell through the air pissed.

Atalanta: Are you serious?

She shot a blast of water into the air. It landed on top of the skyscraper. Then fired water behind her. Which she fell into, and then she climbed out of the water on top of the skyscraper in front of Dr. Destruction.

Atalanta: Your a real bastard, you know that?

Dr. Destruction was laughing.

Dr. Destruction: I can’t believe you fell for that! You dumb bitch! You fell for the oldest trick in the book! Oh god, you really are something, you make me crack up! I think this laughters going to kill me! I’m literally going to die from laughter!

Atalanta: Yeah, you literally are.

Atalanta fired a blast of ice at Dr. Destruction. He clicked the D on his chest, and his suit heated up and burnt off the ice.

Dr. Destruction: You can’t face Dr. Destruction! Destruction Blast!

Atalanta: Destruction blast? Seriously?

Some gunholes came out of his chest, and he fired at Atalanta. She created an ice wall and hid behind it. She had to keep creating ice, to make sure the bullets didn’t break through her wall.

Atalanta: Nipple guns. Very funny. Hey asshole! What rank are you?

Dr. Destruction: Number 2! Right under the creators of this whole thing! I’m the hero this city needs.

Atalanta: I don’t think anyone’s even heard of you.

Atalanta got close to him and slashed her spear at him. He dodged her slashes, then grabbed her spear by the spearhead. He tried to snap it. She sliced his hand.

Dr. Destruction: Destruction lightning!

Dr. Destruction fired a short blast of electricity into Atalanta. She was dazed and fell back. Dr. Destruction did a wrestling move on Atalanta. He wrapped his hands low around her back, and fell on his back, slamming Atalanta’s face into the concrete of the skyscraper. He still had her legs. He picked her up with one hand. Holding her upside down. Atalanta looked at him angrily. He

Dr. Destruction: You aren’t even powerful enough to be considered a rival.

Atalanta: Fucking bastard, you’re trapped in your own head.

Dr. Destruction slammed Atalanta on the ground and then kicked her away, she got close to the edge of the building. She stood up, then held her head. A presence she hadn’t felt in forever came to her. She heard an old man’s booming voice.

Atalanta: Oceanus…

Atalanta shot a blast of water at Dr. Destruction, the water splashed in the air. Atalanta jumped out of the water in the air and slashed down with her spear. Dr. Destruction grabbed her by the neck and slammed her on the ground. Oceanus laughed at Atalanta. She could hear his laughing echoing in her head. She spoke to him inside of her head.

Atalanta: What’s so funny?

Dr. Destruction punched Atalanta in the face, she smiled and laughed at him, and tried to strike back, but he kept holding her down.

Oceanus: You’re getting your ass kicked! I think it’s time to let me out.

He punched her across her face twice. Laughing maniacally. She spat out blood as she felt her face be punched in.

Atalanta: Not now, not here.

Oceanus: What? I can feel what you feel. You’re afraid of alienating your new friends? Gamóto ilíthio…

Her face was pushed one way, and then suddenly slammed the other way. Her face getting more and more mauled.

Atalanta: You’ll try to kill them, you piece of shit.

Dr. Destruction sped up his punches. Slamming his hands into Atalanta’s forehead and the side of her head.

Oceanus: Who knows what I’ll do. Would you like to die?

Atalanta: I mean, I guess it wouldn’t be too much of a problem for me. What do I have to live for?

Oceanus: Your son, what about your posse?

Atalanta: I guess dying to a guy with nipple pistols would be pretty embarrassing.

Dr. Destruction slammed both of his fists down on Atalanta’s face. She stopped moving.

Dr. Destruction: What a waste...Useless nympho.

Dr. Destruction laughed to himself. Atalanta grabbed his arms and threw him off of herself. Dr. Destruction flew in the air as he flew off the skyscraper. Atalanta flew in the air, as her eyes turned white and her skin was engulfed in a dark blue. She punched Dr. Destruction in the face, he went flying into a building. Atalanta flew into him and slammed him through the building. He slid across the ground as Atalanta pushed against him.

Dr. Destruction: Destruction lightning!

Atalanta was electrocuted, but this time she ignored it. She held up her spear and slashed down the middle of Dr. Destruction. His smile was sliced in two as blood spewed everywhere.

Sky: Atalanta...Oh my god.

Atalanta turned around to see the Sentinels standing before her.

## E13 - SUPERVILLIAN

Kara: That’s not Atalanta.

Atalanta: Quite perceptive of you. She’s kept me under control for so long. I think I deserve a little prize for being cooperative. Do you know how hard it is to live in that husk of a woman’s body?

Kara: Freya, I think we’ll need some demon firepower.

Freya: Sorry, isn’t happening.

Kara: What do you mean isn’t happening?

Freya: I...I can’t.

Kara: Uh, yeah you can.

Freya: I literally can’t! No lies! I lost my demon power!

Kara: You what…?

Freya: Had a scuffle with Dad.

Nox: Why didn’t you tell us you had no powers before?

Freya: Look, let’s focus on what’s in front of us. Does anyone know what’s going on?

Sky: She looks like she’s possessed!

Nox: No kidding. Who wants her?

Freya: All of us. Someone stay back and keep Hunter safe.

Cancer: I can.

Atalanta: All of you are weak, and all of you are going to die.

Atalanta teleported through some water behind the group. Nox started kicking at her rapidly with Hermes’ boots.

Atalanta: Hermes boots? Wow.

He grabbed the boot and threw Nox over him. He slammed her into the road and then kicked her, sliding her across the road. Nox stood up, bleeding. Sky fired a blast at Atalanta. She created a gigantic wall of ice, and then pushed it at Sky. Freya slashed through the wall and then slashed at Atalanta. She easily dodged the slashes. Yawning as it happened. She punched Freya in the face and came out of some water behind her. She stabbed Freya with her spear and kicked her away. Sky flew at Atalanta from above, firing a large blast at her. She ducked down, and created a shield of ice around her. As Sky got closer, she pushed the ice up, hitting Sky. Then she backhanded Sky away, through a building. Atalanta saw Nox coming from a mile away.

Atalanta: Stone wall technique…

When Nox hit Atalanta, nothing happened, and a red aura came around Atalanta. She grabbed Nox by the neck and threw her into a building. She flew into the air, following Nox. Then felt a bullet hit her skin. She turned around.

Kara was the last one still standing. Kara’s hair was only half-white right now. She activated her power, and her hair turned all white.

Kara: So what do you call yourself?

Atalanta: I’m Oceanus!

Kara: You’re a Titan? I thought you were extinct.

Atalanta: We aren’t extinct! Those bastard Olympians put us in Tartarus!

Kara: Then now Titans and Olympians live together. It would’ve been a lot smarter to act like Atalanta and then like...cut our throats in our sleep or something.

Atalanta: I don’t care! I just want to have some fun! I don’t really care about killing everyone. I just want a fun fight. You have some power. Maybe this will be a fight worth remembering.

Kara: For your sake, you won’t want to remember this one.

Atalanta flew towards Kara. They clashed with spear and staff. Kara spun her spear and kicked Atalanta off of her. Atalanta got close to Kara and threw punches at her. Atalanta was slightly slower than Kara. She dodged and weaved once she saw a pattern and punched Atalanta in the stomach. Atalanta kicked Kara away. She landed behind a car and kicked it at Atalanta. It flew through the air. Atalanta put out one of her hands, and stopped the car. Kara shot a couple times through the car. The bullets from her gun burned. The car fell down, and there was a puddle of water. Kara felt her chest burn.

Kara: Oh, hell no.

Kara put her hand up and plunged her hand into her body. She ripped out a heart, and she spat out blood. Atalanta came out of the heart. Kara held her gun to Atalanta’s head.

Kara: Nice try. But I don’t go out that easily.

Atalanta laughed.

Atalanta: Thank you for the fun.

Atalanta’s skin went back to normal, and she fell over.

Atalanta: Shit...Sorry Kara.

Bozon: Sorry? Why would you be sorry? That was awesome!

The team regrouped and looked to Bozon and Nozob. Who held a beaten and battered Sky up. They threw her at them. Freya came to Sky.

Freya: Sky! Sky! You alright?

Sky: ...I’ll...I’ll live.

Nozob: So it’s our turn to kill them now?

Bozon: Yes! It’s my turn to kill them!

Nozob: I mean, if anything it’s my turn! I did all the work as the human here! I did all the scouting leading up to this mission!

Bozon: Yeah, but it should be my turn, since I had to deal with you!

Nozob: I’ve done all the work!

Bozon: I’m the original!

Nox got up from the building she had been slammed through. She was starting to get engulfed in some sort of dark aura. She jumped off the building and landed on the ground. Just looking like a black figure with pitch white eyes. She went to Atalanta.

Hunter: Hey! Nox! There!

Hunter pointed Nox towards Bozon and Nozob. She looked straight at them.

Bozon: Come on!

Nox flickered to them, and she appeared right in front of them, and punched Bozon in the face. He was launched off the ground, and slid across the road when he landed, causing a gigantic indent. Nozob took out two swords. Nox looked over to her. She held up her hand, and a blast of thunder came from the sky. Nozob braced for something. She saw Nox now equipped with Zeus’s lightning bolt. Nozob created a bunch of swords and made them fly at Nox. Nox grabbed two out of the air and stabbed Nozob with them, she grabbed more and more swords out of the air and riddled Nozob’s body with stab wounds.

Cancer: Jeezus christ…

Freya: Get ready to back Nox up.

Bozon: Ignore her! Fight me! Come on!

Nox appeared behind Bozon and slashed him twice with the lightning bolt. He turned around and blew lava into Nox’s face. Nox broke out of it and slashed her bolt wildly. Bozon backed away, and then came in. They locked hands in a struggle for dominance over each other. For power. Nox dropped, and ran into Bozon with her shoulder and threw him in the air. Her bolt increased with power, and she turned around. And then suddenly fainted. Bozon laughed at her.

Bozon: Weak human!

Bozon created a massive sword. He lifted it up, then a sword stabbed through him from the back. Freya picked him up with her sword.

Freya: Sadly for you, we aren’t all humans.

Bozon fell down, dead. Everyone who wasn’t out of the fight regrouped. Kara went back to normal, her hair being both black and white.

Kara: We...We need a breather.

## E14 - GAZZILLION EAR

Kara was helping Sky walk, and Cancer was helping Atalanta walk. Freya held Nox over her shoulder. Hunter was following them.

Freya: Where the hell are we going?

Kara: We’re going to my house.

Freya: You have a house? I thought you were a nomad.

Kara: I’ve had a house since we disbanded. Probably should’ve moved to Alaska or something. Since I hate heat.

They saw a small house in the distance. Which they walked to. Kara opened the door for everyone.

Kara: Welcome to my humble abode!

Everyone sat down, they laid Nox in Kara’s bedroom. Hunter and Cancer next to each other on Kara’s loveseat. Everyone else either stood or sat at kitchen chairs.

Freya: So you really did have Lionhearts crest…?

Freya was looking at a crest that hung on the wall. It was a golden crest with the face of a lion on it.

Kara: Yeah. I do.

Kara picked it up and handed it to Freya.

Kara: Be careful with it.

Freya sat down and examined it. Atalanta got out of her seat and went into Kara’s bedroom, where Nox was.

Atalanta: Alright, time to get up.

She fired a blast of cold water into Nox’s face. She was startled awake.

Nox: What the hell was that for?!

Atalanta: Don’t turn black and kill me. Come out. We’re having a conversation.

Nox: I’m not going to turn black...Racist.

Atalanta brought Nox into the main room. Where she sat down on a chair.

Atalanta: So, does everyone want to go around the classroom and share whatever ridiculous superpowered form we all have?

Kara: Why don’t you go first?

Atalanta: That was Oceanus back there. He’s a spirit I was given when I was young. I didn’t know until 5 years ago that I was stuck with an insane, bloodthirsty titan. I’ve luckily got him under control. I only use him when I get into pinches. He rips whatever’s in front of him apart. Look, if one day Oceanus decides to fully take over, promise to kill me.

Nox: I can work with that.

Freya: Why can’t he just take control of you right now?

Atalanta: Hesial’s keeping track of me. If he takes control without my saying so, I can let Hesial know, and she’ll kill me.

Cancer: That’s rough…

Atalanta: I just...hope he doesn’t decide to do anything rash. He’s a being of pure destruction. That’s all he wants. He’d want nothing more than to set free his titan buddies and get revenge on the Olympians.

Freya: So a deal with the devil, huh?

Atalanta: Also, what he almost did to you, Kara. He loves to do. I can teleport through water, and there’s water inside of us humans. So he likes to destroy us from the inside. Which, if you ask me is 1. Unsanitary, and 2. Fucking horrifying.

Hunter: You’ve got that right. You’d better not do that to us.

Sky: I wish I had a super-form. It instantly puts anyone who has one on a whole different level. All I can do is charge up my powers to add a little extra punch. But nothing like you guys do. Kara, what about your powers? How’d you even get them?

Kara: Well, you remember. I drank from the fountain of life. It gave me access to the previous me as well as the super-powered me from the fountain. When my hair’s all black, it’s my weakest self. When it’s all white...well. You saw what I did to Atalanta.

Nox: Yeah! You basically lost!

Kara: I did a lot better than most of you would’ve done. Even though you’re kind of an asshole, Nox. You might be the most powerful of all of us. You destroyed Bozon and Nozob in that form.

Nox: It’s my chaos form. It only turns on when I get pissed. It manifested because of my Olympian heritage. My Mom tried to get me to control it, I never really figured it out.

Kara: Freya, you said you lost your demon power? What’s that about?

Freya: Before I found you guys, I finally fought my father. He destroyed me, and took my demon power. Sure I can still lift cars. But...Kara. Pass me your gun.

Kara threw Freya her gun.

Freya: Not loaded, right?

Kara: I never put bullets in it. I use my demon magic.

Freya: Exactly.

Freya pointed the gun at Hunter.

Hunter: Hey! What the hell are you doing!?

Freya pulled the trigger. Nothing came out of the gun.

Freya: See, nothing.

Hunter: You nearly killed me, you damn lunatic! Some leader you are!

Cancer: Yeah! Be careful!

Freya: Either way, no powers. Which means no demon form for me. The same demon form that beat Yuri.

Atalanta: Shit, really?

Freya: Anyway, that leads me to the main problem. We need to get rid of the rest of these aliens. We fought Bozon and Nozob, and three out of the seven of us went down, and I’m talking about the more powerful three. So I think we should take a little field trip before we track down the next asshole?

Sky: To where?

Hunter: And for what?

Freya: To see my son.

Nox: Why would we take a detour to see your son?

Freya: Because he has something that can help us. I didn’t think I would have to do this…

Kara: And wait a second, you have a son?! Why did this never come up?

Cancer: Wow! You have a son? What’s his name?

Freya: Ugh...Kiego.

Cancer: Wow, that’s a cool name!

Freya: Look, let’s just go. We can talk about it on the way there.

Nox: What’s in it for us anyway?

Freya: Uh, it’s Volantes! What isn’t in it for you? Just come on!

Kara: Freya, I think we should let everyone get some rest, first. We’ve all had a long...however much time has passed.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Bozon was laying on the ground, his body began to vibrate, and Nozob came out of his body. She looked at her hands, then at Bozon.

Nozob: Ha! I’m in control! Get the hell up!

Nozob kicked Bozon. He got to his knees.

Bozon: What happened...I feel different.

Nozob: It’s because I’m in control now. Let’s get back to Rava. Come on!

Bozon: Ugh...Fine.

## E15 - BALLSKIN

The Sentinels walked out of an elevator into some sort of metropolis. The city of Volantes was filled with small, but advanced buildings. It was like they were staring straight into the future. There were monorails that went all around the city, many observation towers that monitored where the city of Volantes was headed. They were close to the edge of the city. Which had a large glass wall around it. Cancer looked down, past the glass. They were hundreds of miles into the air.

Cancer: Holy shit!

She stumbled back and held onto Hunter.

Cancer: Look! We’re hundreds of feet in the air!

Kara: I mean, Freya said flying city. Right?

Freya: Y-yeah.

Kara: Oh yeah. You aren’t a fan of heights, are you?

Freya: Not the biggest fan. I guess I can get a little bit of solace out of the fact that my feet are touching the ground.

Sky: I’ve already forgotten about the height. Look at this city! It looks like it was taken straight out of Future Future!

Atalanta: Future Future? You mean the future, right?

Nox: She’s talking about the anime Future Future.

Sky: You watched it?

Nox: Was like the second thing I watched when I came into regular society.

They walked through the city. The buildings were low to the ground, but highly advanced. With windows suddenly showing the next new fast food item or house accessory that you just HAD to have. A small amount of people walked through the city, considering it was so early in the morning.

Freya: Come on.

Sky: You’re telling me that Kiego lives here? This is awesome!

Freya: This place constantly moves around the U.S. It stops at these ports with elevators installed, allowing tourists to zip up here.

Hunter: A tourist trap that comes to you...I can’t believe I never thought about that.

Cancer: Come on, we should go into one of these stores, guys. C’mon! This one has buddhas!

Freya: No, we need to stay on track.

Cancer: Come on!

Hunter: We’ll come back up after this shitshow.

Freya: Just a little further.

As they got closer, Freya became quieter and quieter. Her anxiety was practically radiating off of her.

Kara: How long has it been since you’ve seen him?

Freya: Doesn’t matter.

Kara: Freya…

Freya looked to her side.

Freya: Hey, is everyone hungry?

Atalanta: Hungry? I thought you’d never ask!

Freya: Let’s go in here.

Cancer: “Happy Tiger”. I love japanese!

They went into the restaurant. It was just them, and the staff. They ordered drinks and appetizers.

Kara: Freya, this food is really good. But what are you hiding? What is it about your son?

Freya: Well you asked how long it’s been since I saw him. It’s been about...hmm.

Freya started counting on her hands. She looked at Kara with a remorseful look. A look of absolute disgust.

Freya: Are you sure?

Kara: Yeah.

Freya: It’s been about...21 years.

Atalanta: Jeezus christ! How old is he, 40?

Freya: 21.

Atalanta: So...You left him when he was born.

Freya: He’s never seen me.

Atalanta: So you pussied out of raising your son?

Freya: If you want to put it that way, yeah.

Freya: Who would I be to look my son in the face and ask to take something from him?

Hunter: What is it you need so badly from him?

Freya: A sword. It was a weapon I left there a long time ago. I didn’t think I’d need it away.

Cancer: What’s it even for?

Freya: I’ll regain my powers. Our team will be at full power.

Kara: Is it worth stealing something from your son? I doubt you want to go up to him.

Freya was looking down at her food.

Freya: Not...really.

Nox: So, then what’s the plan?

Cancer: Do you know how selfish that is? That sword has been with him since he was born! It probably means a lot to him.

Freya: Look, if we get into another fight with Rava and his people, then we’ll all be slaughtered! Atalanta and Nox can’t control themselves!

Hunter: I controlled Nox.

Nox: It was only because Atalanta was down, I recognized Bozon and Nozob as the threat.

Freya: So you can help. But only for so long. We aren't strong enough! Leaders of teams are supposed to make the hard choices. This sword can grant us the last push that we need to beat Rava.

Cancer: How do we even know that Rava’s that powerful?

Sky: I saw him destroy a planet.

Atalanta: You what?

Sky: He’s in my mind. Talking to me sometimes.

Cancer: Can he hear us?!

Sky: N-No. I don’t think so. He showed me a vision of him destroying a planet.

Atalanta: Maybe it was just fake. He was making it up to scare you.

Sky: What if he wasn’t?!

Freya: Look, I’m going to do what I have to do. Decide if you're in or out.

Hunter: I don’t think I could do something like that. I mean, it’s your kid.

Cancer: I stand with Hunter.

Sky: We can find another way. I believe we can beat Rava if we work together.

Hunter: You do what you have to. We need to find the next space dude. We’re going to see what info we can find.

Freya: We’re going to meet up at the end of the day.

Kara: You’re really going to go through with this?

Freya: I have to.

Atalanta: You know, Freya. Do you really want to do this? All for power?

Freya: Y-You think this is about power? This is about this team! It’s for the team!

Kara: Look Freya, I’m obviously not the best mother. But you should be in your son’s life sooner rather than later. Don’t neglect him like that.

Freya was left alone in the restaurant as everyone left.

## E16 - BORN LIKE THIS

It was still early in the morning. Freya sucked it up. She walked down some stairs to see a long hall of apartment rooms. She went over to a door, and pushed it open. It was some sort of employee entrance room. She walked down it, seeing the numbers of rooms go up. 1,2,3,4. She kept moving up, until she saw a maid open the door to a room and see her.

Maid: Hey! What are you doing here?!

Freya blitzed her and punched her in the throat. She fell down, unconscious. Freya grabbed a room card from her. Freya moved up. 15,16,17.

Freya: Almost there…

21,22,23.

Freya: Here.

She took out the room card to room 23. She opened the door to the apartment room. She didn’t hear anyone or anything moving around. She walked around the room, her steps silent. She looked into the bedroom. Nobody. She let out a sigh of relief. Freya looked at a picture next to Kiego’s tv. It was of Freya and a man. She was behind him on a motorcycle. Hugging him from the back, they were both smiling. Freya felt homesickness for a home that never even existed. Now longing for a time she could’ve met her son. But at the same time pining for the power that would be returned to her so she could beat Rava. She went into his bedroom. Where she saw a sword sitting. It was her old sword. She picked it up.

Freya: You said this would happen eventually, Dad. I didn’t believe you.

She held it up and stabbed herself through the stomach with the sword. Letting out a wince. Freya’s eyes flashed a bright red. The sword was engulfed in fire. So was her current sword. Both of the swords were absorbed into her, engulfing her in fire. Freya heard the door be kicked open.

???: Come out w-

She could see through the fire. A man in a white and yellow jacket with khakis. He wore a yellow bandana around his neck. Under his jacket he wore a white T-shirt. He held two short curved blades in his hands. His hair was blonde like Freya’s, his eyes light yellow.

Freya: Kiego…

Yellow flickers of lightning surrounded Keigo, and they went into his eyes. His eyes turned light yellow and his entire body was coated in black. His hair flared up and his mouth disappeared. Only his eyes were there along with the rest of his body. His chest was lit up, the center of his chest lightning up with yellow light. He was surrounded by a yellow aura.

Kiego: A demon...Of course.

The fire around Freya disappeared. She was unrecognizable. Her eyes turned bright red and her entire body was coated in black. Her hair stayed normal, her mouth hung open, now looking more demonic. She had a fire burning out her heart, and now had two horns coming from her head. She now had black wings that looked like that of butterflies. There were now pointed spikes around her arms and legs.

The two demons stared each other down. Freya took a good look at her son. His demon form was starting to develop. She felt proud. But also horrified. She could see the look on Kiego’s face. He recognized her. Freya held out a new sword. That was more like that of a longsword now. It was black, with a red design running up the sword. She turned around and blasted out of the roof of Kiego’s apartment. Kiego stood there, confused and frustrated.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Freya looked at her phone, seeing a text message from Kara. She turned back to normal as she touched the ground. She went to a restaurant, and walked into a bathroom. Which Hunter was waiting patiently in front of.

Nox: Freya, we got info from this bastard.

There was a B.L.A.D.E soldier who they had tied to a toilet.

Freya: What’d you find out?

Atalanta: One of those aliens is on the B.L.A.D.E vessel.

Freya: Ugh...Are you serious? B.L.A.D.E hates us!

Nox: This guy says that he shapeshifted into a person on the vessel. Apparently they came in with coffee or something.

Freya: It could be anyone then! Everyone drinks coffee!

Nox went over to the soldier.

Nox: So, how can we get to the vessel?

B.L.A.D.E soldier: I...I can’t tell you.

Freya: I think you can. Move aside, Nox.

Freya turned into her demon form the human B.L.A.D.E soldier was petrified by the sight of a demon.

B.L.A.D.E Soldier: Th-There’s a vessel that brings soldiers up! Okay?! One of you just...just take my damn armor. Take your friends prisoner and bring them up, and leave me alone!

Freya: Awesome.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

The Sentinels were flew up to the B.L.A.D.E vessel. Cancer looked out the vessel as they flew through space.

Cancer: Oh my god...I didn’t expect to go to space! This...This is amazing! Isn’t it awesome Huntey!?

Cancer was shaking Hunter. Who was wearing the B.L.A.D.E soldier armor. Hunter looked around at the other soldiers. Who seemed to be laughing to themselves.

Hunter: Prisoner! Get yourself under control!

They landed in the B.L.A.D.E vessel. Which looked almost more futuristic than Volantes. There was some sort of gravity field around it that allowed people to walk around like normal. Hunter led everyone somewhere nobody could see them. Where Hunter took off the B.L.A.D.E armor, and everyone broke from their handcuffs. They simply snapped them off. Except Cancer.

Cancer: Uh...A little help?

Sky: I’ve got you. So it really is just those bracelets that give you your powers?

Cancer: Pretty much. I’m just a slightly superior human being. I guess I’m technically from the future.

Freya saw the director of B.L.A.D.E walk into the hangar. Soldiers looked around, confused. He never came into the hangar.

Sky: Couldn’t Kaybian just get really big and destroy this whole place?

Nox: I don’t think he’d be big enough to destroy the spaceship. But he’d certainly fuck things up.

Atalanta: Hey, where the hell did Freya go?

Freya was talking to the director of B.L.A.D.E. Nick Fury.

Freya: Look, Fury. I heard there was someone here that could be dangerous. Nothing bad is going to happen here. I promise.

Fury: Last time you promised that, you created a rip in the universe! You are not the center of my world. As a matter of fact, your merry band of idiots should be broken up! And especially not here.

Freya: Listen to us. We can help.

Fury: If your ghost story is true, then okay. Do what you have to. But if you destroy anything, you’re getting shot into space.

Freya: Alright, alright.

Freya came back to the Sentinels.

Freya: We have jurisdiction. Our hint was that he came in with coffee. It’ll be impossible to find him like that.

Nox: So we just look for suspicious people?

Hunter: Like people who left their post.

Atalanta: I say we split up, and look around. Don’t be afraid to interrogate the shit out of people.

Freya: Alright. That sounds like a plan. Everyone split up.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Nick Fury walked into a waiting room. There was a group of People in some sort of tubes. Nick Fury called out their names.

Fury: Raiden, the sin of wrath.

Raiden had a very worn out doctor's outfit on. He had his hands in his pockets and was spinning a needle.

Fury: Liam, the sin of pride.

Liam was shirtless and had brass knuckles on. He had the build of a boxer. He was just wearing some MMA shorts.

Fury: Selena, the sin of envy.

Selena was wearing some sort of blue and gold tunic that doubled as a dress. She wore some baggy pants and boots. She also had some sort of handbag.

Fury: Shini, the sin of greed.

Shini had two bright orange swords. She wore an orange and tan top with a scarf. She also wore portuguese and long orange leggings.

Fury: Bogey, the sin of gluttony.

Bogey was extremely fat. He was sitting in some sort of hover chair that looked like a pod. He was protected by a glass barrier. He had a shirt that was clearly too small for him and jeans. He was eating a double decker hamburger.

Fury: Yokubo, the sin of lust.

Yokubo had a skin tight suit that was red and yellow. She had a yellow belt she had tied around her waist. She had long hair.

Fury: And Umoran, the sin of sloth.

Umoran looked tired. He wore a plain shirt and some plain pants. They looked like they had almost never been changed. He was holding coffee.

## E17 - HARDCORE HUSTLE

Sky was walking around, looking for clues. Any clue that could lead to the team finding Kaybian. She wasn’t the talkative type, or even the type to interrogate people. The entire team had been given coms, so she was prepared to tell anyone if she saw someone. Umoran walked past her. He looked like he had wandered off from somewhere. He was the only person thus far Sky saw holding coffee, and she had no other clues.

Sky: He’s holding coffee…!

Umoran must’ve heard her, because he turned around and looked at her.

Umoran: No, it’s my hot brown morning potion.

Sky thought to herself. Who would even say something like that?

Umoran: It never even energizes me. I’m just always tired.

Sky: What the…

They just stared at each other. Umoran looked like he was going to fall over and go to sleep. Sky turned and walked away from him.

Sky: Guys, I think I found him. This guy’s saying something about a hot brown morning potion, and he never gets energized by coffee. Seems pretty alien to me.

Umoran sneezed. He didn’t even bother to cover his nose. A huge gust of wind hit Sky from the back. She went flying into the wall. Slowing herself down with her powers.

Sky: What the hell?

Umoran: Sorry, I had to sneeze.

Sky looked around, the area was devoid of any soldiers. She was surprised, considering she was in the main hangar. Shini and Raiden walked into the hangar and over to Umoran.

Shini: Umoran! Stop wandering off! We’re looking for-

Umoran: I found one of the bad men.

Raiden: Finally, I thought it would be a pain. But I guess it was easy.

Bogey came up from behind.

Bogey: It’s because their all fat and stupid!

Liam: Just like you, fatass.

Bogey started crying.

Bogey: I’m not fat!

Selena: Then put down that burger!

Yokubo appeared next to Raiden.

Yokubo: Ready to neutralize the target.

Selena jumped.

Selena: Don’t appear next to that like us all the time! You scare the shit out of me!

Yokubo: It’s the most time-efficient way I know to travel.

Raiden: Hey, it’s Stardust. I thought you were dead!

Liam: She’s looking much younger, too.

Sky: Guys, quick! These people are going to rip me apart!

Raiden: Who wants her?

Shini: Let me!

Liam: I do.

Shini: You got the last one!

Liam: Fine.

Raiden: Yokubo.

Yokubo flickered in and out of existence, it seemed. Sky suddenly felt everything in her body go weak. Shini got in front of Sky. She had two orange swords that were curved.

Shini: Morning…

She elbowed Sky in the head from the top…

Shini: ...Sunset!

...and then slashed up with her swords, which were burning intensely. Sky fell back down to her knees, and then her hands. Shini lifted her swords, and then was kicked in the face by Hermes’ boot. She went flying back, and slammed her swords into the ground. The rest of the Sentinels followed behind Nox.

Kara: You okay Sky?

Sky: I can still fight.

Hunter: Which one did you say it was?

Sky: I don’t think it’s Kaybian anymore.

Freya: Hey! We’re trying to stop a big threat to this whole place! I doubt you’ve done a whole lot on Earth, but there’s a big threat from space, who's on this vessel! He could destroy this place! So listen to us! We need to work together. I know shit never works out between us. But this time we need to work together.

Liam: Don’t be stupid. Fury gave us the directive to kill you.

Kara: He stabbed us in the back...typical Fury.

Freya: No...That’s not typical Fury. He would’ve told us no straight up. He’s not a backstabber. He’s straight with his words.

Kara: You’re not thinking what I’m thinking…?

Freya: I’m thinking what you’re thinking.

Atalanta: Let’s focus on getting rid of these fuckers first.

Raiden: Let’s get this over with. Yokubo?

Yokubo: Recharging.

Raiden: Selena.

Selena: Got it.

Selena made a magic barrier around Yokubo. Sky stood up, and then fell down. Kara caught her.

Kara: Alright. You’re sitting this one out.

Atalanta: So now we’re copying them.

Atalanta created a barrier of ice around Sky.

Raiden: Selena, analysis.

All the sins seemed to hear something that the Sentinels couldn’t. They went in for the fight.

Raiden took out a bunch of needles. He ran at Freya, slashing at her with supersonic speed and precision. Freya blocked, but for every block, she was slashed with a needle. She shot a blast of hellfire as he ran in. He dodged out of the way and stabbed his needles into Freya.

Raiden: Wow, you are weak. You’re a team leader, right? I can’t believe it.

Umoran came up to Nox.

Umoran: Apparently I have t-

Nox kneed Umoran in the stomach and slammed him on the ground.

Umoran: Rude, I didn’t even get to fin-

She punched him side to side, and kicked him in the air. She jumped in the air and pummeled him until they hit the ground.

Umoran: Wait wait, time out. I have to sneeze.

Umoran sneezed. Nox was blasted into the air. She hit the ceiling in the hangar. She tried to find her footing, but couldn’t. She landed hard. Umoran was walking around, he tripped on Nox and spilled his coffee on her.

Umoran: Oh no, my hot brown morning potion.

Nox grabbed him by his leg in a rage and picked him up. She slammed him on the ground. He didn’t show any bruises or scratches from all of Nox’s attacks.

Umoran: Now I’m never going to be able to wake up…

Shini blitzed Kara. She slashed rapidly at her. Kara blocked with her staff and jumped back.

Kara: Shini, you know we don’t need to do this again. You remember how everything turned out last time. Right?

Shini: Whatever this team is, it’s much weaker than the last one you had, and you still have more people!

Kara: Or maybe you were just weaker.

Shini teleported behind Kara and did a flip, slashing her swords up. She slashed Kara’s arms off.

Shini: You’re just weak. You always were!

A bunch of sharp tendrils came from the ground and stabbed through Kara.

Kara: God, so rude.

Kara’s hair went all white. She shook herself out of Shini’s trap, and quickly regrew her arms. More tendrils came from the ground. Kara grabbed them and snapped them.

Bogey flew up to Hunter.

Bogey: Time to die!

Hunter: Ugh, disgusting. Burning heart of Fafnir!

Fafnir came up.

Fafnir: What do we have today?

Hunter: Some fatass dude. You want to burn him for me while I think of a solution.

Fafnir fired a blast of fire at Bogey. Bogey slapped his belly. It created a huge shockwave, which made Hunter fall over.

Bogey: Stupid! Die!

A bunch of missiles flew from Bogey’s hoverchair.

Hunter: Fafnir! G-

Fafnir: I can hear your thoughts I already know what you’re thinking.

Fafnir grabbed the missiles out of the air. Hunter ran under them and slid under Bogey’s hoverchair. He threw the missiles into his chair. The chair blew up, and he was blown out of his chair.

Bogey: No! I’m too fat! I can’t stand up!

Liam came to Cancer. Cancer nearly cowered at the sight of him. This huge muscular guy is coming to beat her up like a school bully.

Liam: Are you serious? Selena put me up against you? She has no sense of pride.

Cancer: What?

Liam: Tell you what, I won’t use my hands when I fight you.

Cancer: But look at you, aren’t you a boxer?

Liam: You can tell?

Cancer: Yeah, by the boxing tattoo across your chest.

Liam: Oh right. But that’s the point. It would be an unfair fight for me to beat up a little girl.

Cancer: I...I guess that’s nice.

Liam put his hands behind his back. Cancer made her swords fly up. She slashed one at him. He dodged under it and moved closer to Cancer. She stabbed one of her swords into the ground. He ran up the sword and kicked Cancer. She fell back. She made both of her swords stand up and slash behind him. But he did a backflip to dodge.

Selena came up to Atalanta and fired a blast of magic from her spellbook. Atalanta dodged out of the way.

Atalanta: Seriously? Harry Potter? You know, I found that the Sentinels seemed to do better when they left B.L.A.D.E. What about you? I’ve never, ever, heard of the Seven deadly sins. Well, not you guys.

Selena: You say that like fame matters to me. We’re here to do our job, not save the world.

Selena fired multiple dark blasts at Atalanta. She shot some water to collide with the blasts. She shot some water in the air and then some water under her. She jumped out of the water in the air and came from above Selena. She slammed her spear into the ground, nearly hitting Selena.

Atalanta: Thought that analysis power you used would’ve been useful with matchups. You draw the short straw?

Atalanta slashed her spear forward, slashing Selena across the stomach. Selena let out a yelp and fired back at Atalanta. She went flying back.

Raiden: Yokubo!

Yokubo finished charging up.

Atalanta: Stone wall technique…

Yokubo paused time. She walked through the fights. She hit Cancer in every pressure point in her body. Then hit Nox in every pressure point, then Hunter. She went up to Atalanta and pushed her hand forward, she felt something snap, and resumed time out of desperation. Atalanta was surrounded by a red aura.

Atalanta: Dumbass!

Yokubo: What did you do?

Atalanta: Stone wall technique. Saves me from one good hit. Guess you were so weak you couldn’t even handle it.

Atalanta punched Yokubo in the stomach.

Atalanta: God, and they say I’m a street-walker.

Atalanta took out her spear and slashed at Yokubo.

Fury: Alright everyone! That’s enough!

## E18 - THANK YA

Fury: Alright everyone! That’s enough!

Raiden: What? But you gave us a direct order!

Fury: Everyone out of the hangar! Now!

Atalanta: That’s it...We know you're Kaybian asshole!

Fury: Again with this Kaybian bullshit. Put cuffs on them.

Nick Fury gestured to a B.L.A.D.E soldier to go cuff the Sentinels. The soldier came up behind Fury and put cuffs on him.

Fury: What...What are you doing?!

The soldier took off his mask. Under his mask, it was Nick Fury.

Nick Fury: You can’t impersonate an impersonator.

Freya: The hell? You knew he was Kaybian the whole time?!

Nick Fury: Well, considering he stole my body and made my own soldiers try and take me away, yes.

Kara: Cheeky bastard…

Nick Fury: I can’t believe you sins couldn’t tell when I was fake. You’re a damn disgrace. Get the hell out of here.

Raiden: Dammit...Guys. Come on.

Yokubo was looking around confused.

Liam: Yoko. Mission’s over. We failed.

Yokubo: Failed? We never fail.

Umoran: Finally, I need a new hot brown morning potion.

Nick Fury: Now, used-to-be-Sentinels. What do I do with you?

Freya: Look, this is our problem. We’re planning on solving it.

Nick Fury: Fine, I guess it would be a waste of manpower.

Atalanta: Plus, something’s telling me this isn’t only a United States thing. Guess we’re out of your jurisdiction.

Nick Fury: Nothing’s out of my jurisdiction.

Sky: So, you aren’t going to ask us to come back? We did pretty good against your team there.

Nick Fury: You did horrible. Plus, the Sentinels initiative was scrapped. That’s done and over with. I don’t know why you’re trying to keep it alive.

Sky: It’s because heroes shouldn’t have to be outlawed! We do good everywhere we go. We also shouldn’t be stuck under your control.

Nick Fury: You take after that James kid. None of you know how the law actually works. Besides, I have bigger problems to take care of. Hopefully the alien thing will solve itself. If not, we have procedures in place.

Cancer: You aren’t even worried that aliens are attacking Earth?!

Nick Fury: It happens once a month. Maybe once a week. You aren’t a special snowflake. Now get off of my ship. Before we shoot you into the vacuum of space.

Nick Fury let them take Kaybian.

Atalanta: We can take a ship, right?

Nick Fury: No, those are my ships.

Kara: Sky, you think you can teleport us out of here?

Sky: Yeah…

A barrier appeared around everyone, coming from Sky, it inverted everything around Sky. They teleported away.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Freya punched Kaybian across the face, he was still in Nick Fury’s body, and was in the cuffs. He was tied up in the middle of a barren desert far away from the highway.

Freya: Tell us! Where’s the next one!? The lizard, the bimbo, or King Rava! We’ll accept any!

Kaybian laughed.

Kaybian: How does a 2 in 1 sound?

Freya: Fucking phenomenal

Kaybian: Gila, the lizard, and Akane, the bimbo as you call them, are in Egypt.

Nox: That easy? Something isn’t right.

Freya: Yeah, I know. We’ll make sure people keep an eye on him. We have to bring him with us. We can’t just leave him.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Everyone was taking turns on the camel’s back as the Sentinels dragged themselves through the desert. Kaybian was attached to the camel via chain. He was completely quiet.

Hunter: You really can’t just teleport us there?

Sky: I can’t teleport somewhere I’ve never seen. Sorry. I would if I could.

Hunter: You probably like this heat!

Sky: Well, it doesn’t bother me as much as it does you.

Atalanta created some ice. She threw it at Hunter and Sky.

Atalanta: Hold it. It makes the heat a little more bearable.

Freya: You guys clearly haven’t been to hell.

Kara: It’s like walking around in a damn microwave…

Atalanta: So, what did you guys think about those Seven Deadly Sins?

Nox: They were complete fucking idiots.

Kara: We’ve actually fought them before. Well, the old Sentinels. They were a lot less put together back then.

Freya: Yeah, they act like a real team now, and we almost got our asses handed to us.

Atalanta: It was that Yokubo freak. Her time-pausing antics are annoying as shit.

Kara: Yeah, it was amazing the way you blocked her!

Atalanta: I wasn’t expecting it to work. That move that I did is a titan technique. It can block any move. But it only blocks one move. It was like Yokubo slammed her two outstretched fingers into a brick wall.

Kara: There’s no telling we would’ve been able to beat the rest of them, though.

Sky: I’ve never seen or heard of that team. So what are they? Some secret task force for emergencies?

Freya: I never really figured out exactly what they were for. Maybe Fury just likes having them around.

Nox: I think we could’ve beaten them if we thought more tactically. They purposely paired us with people they thought we would do bad against. At least the more powerful people on the team. They made Umoran fight me because he can take lots of hits. They knew I would just fight him until I got worn out. Shini’s powers were fire-based, and she was fast. They knew she could take Kara. The rest of the choices are kind of weird. They probably figured Liam could’ve taken Cancer and Hunter, and Selena could just magic Atalanta out of it. I would’ve had Bogey fight Atalanta.

Atalanta: Not bad. I bet he can take hits, with all those fat-rolls.

Hunter started hanging back. He went over to Cancer, who had shed her armor. She had now changed into her skin-tight shirt. Which showed her virus over it. She was kneeling, and crying now.

Hunter: It’s going to be alright Cancer…!

Cancer’s skin felt like it was scalding. The virus burnt into her. Disintegrating every cell in its wake. Her virus spread all over her chest, and covered her body more and more.

Sky: Shit! What’s happening?

Kara: Her virus is spreading again…

Hunter stood up, as Cancer started to recover.

Hunter: Cancer, your virus spread more...Did knowledge state happen before?

Cancer: Yeah. Look Huntey! I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, but I didn’t want to worry you! I didn’t want you to leave the team.

Hunter put his hands on his head, pacing. Clearly in distress.

Hunter: What’s this team to me if you’re dead?! I need to be with Kunai Industries so I can support us, myself and my parents! Alien killing is not my thing! Fucking...business stocks are! I’m just a normal guy trapped in this hero villain bullshit! I don’t want to be a superhero, Cancer. I just want to be...I want to be a normal businessman. I’m not some hero.

Freya: None of us are heroes, Hunter. Plus, you’re already halfway to Egypt.

Hunter: I...I know.

Hunter turned away from Cancer.

Hunter: I can’t be having Cancer getting more and more virus outbreaks. It’s just going to get worse for her from here.

Freya: Then make the decision with her.

Hunter kneeled down to Cancer.

Hunter: Do you want to keep doing this? Do you really want to?

Hunter and Cancer sat and talked, as the rest of the Sentinels looked with worrisome eyes. Cancer kissed Hunter, and Hunter helped her up.

Hunter: This mission, then we’re done.

Freya: Thank you, Hunter.

Kaybian: Look, there it is.

Atalanta: Finally!

Nox: What’s this flyer?

Nox picked up a crumpled flyer. It was a flyer for a ball. For someone to marry Queen Soley. Nox showed the picture to Kaybian.

Kaybian: Looks like she morphed into that queen. That’s her, alright.

Kara: So, I’m feeling like the Sentinels need to get ready to infiltrate a wedding.

Nox: How would we get in?

Kara: I guess we would need someone to go in as a potential bride.

Atalanta: We would need someone single, young, and hot enough.

Nox: Nobody here fits that profile. Plus, we’re all girls!

Atalanta: She’s a lizard person. She probably swings either way.

Nox: Then who’s going to do that?

Everyone looked at Nox.

Nox: Hey, why are you looking at me like that?

Atalanta: You fit two of the three.

Nox: Fuck no. I’m not doing that!

Freya: I mean, you said you owed us one. Are you ready to be a team player? Plus, none of the aliens saw you when they first attacked. You’re the only one that can do this mission.

Nox: I-I guess. But when I said I owed you one, I meant to like, beat someone’s ass. Not get married!

Freya: Nobody else is going to do it. You ever tried make-up Nox?

Atalanta: I don’t think she’d be caught dead in make-up.

Nox: I’m only doing this because I’m supposed to be a team player, and I’m the only one qualified.

## E19 - THE.GREEN.WHORE.NET

The Sentinels were walking around a trade market in Egypt.

Cancer: Alright, we have to find you a good dress! What do you think fits you?

Nox: I don’t want anything expensive.

Hunter: Pick anything, Nox. I’ll foot the bill. It helps to have rich teammates.

Nox: Really? That doesn’t seem like you.

Hunter: A dress doesn’t make a dent in my wallet.

Nox and Cancer kept looking around. They found a little shop with dresses, the store-owner chewed Cancer’s ear off about dresses.

Nox: I think I found something.

It was a purple and black dress, black from the top and fading down to a dark purple. It had a slit in the bottom and only covered one shoulder.

Hunter: That one? It’s pretty cheap, you could go with something better than that.

Nox: Nope, this is my style.

Cancer: What about your heels?

Nox: Well, you’re the professional. Right?

Sky: You know, if we’re all going, then wouldn’t we want to get some clothes like that?

Hunter: Yeah, I guess.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Cancer was doing Nox’s make-up in a bathroom.

Cancer: C’mon. Hold still.

Atalanta: You don’t look half-bad. I mean, you wouldn’t need make-up if you weren’t always scowling like that.

Nox: Why don’t you try this?

Atalanta: Pfft. She wouldn’t want me.

Nox: Maybe she likes older people.

Atalanta: Holy shit, did you just joke? That’s a first.

Nox: Don’t make a big deal out of it.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Everyone but Cancer, Hunter and Sky had dressed up.

Freya: Are you sure you’ll be able to keep an eye on Kaybian?

Sky: You can trust us.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Freya, Kara, and Atalanta walked into a ballroom. There were tons of people who were more dressed up than the group of girls. Nox went in the back entrance. She was on coms. There was a circle of men and one more woman. She went over to the group, butterflies in her stomach.

Nox: Hey guys, you all here for Gila?

Man: Gila? You mean Queen Soley, right? Her name is Gildy. Is that supposed to be some sort of nickname?

Nox: Uh...Yeah. We’re...high school friends.

Man: What?

Nox: Look! I’m here to marry her. I guess you bastards are my competition.

Man: Not if you talk like that. We’re here to impress her. Not embarrass her.

Nox: Buddy, I don’t like your attitude. (Buddy? Why the hell did I say buddy?)

Man: Sure. We’ll make sure you’re last in line to talk to the queen.

Nox: (Don’t kill them, don’t kill them.)

Nox had to wait for hours, as everyone went out to try and impress the queen. Nox got a peek at what Gila looked like behind the curtain when someone walked out, seemingly embarrassed at their “performance”. She wore a gigantic white dress, cut in the middle and showing lots of her chest. She was African American, with long curly black hair. Nox had no plan for how she was going to approach the situation. But she never came into a conversation with a plan. It made it less of a conversation, and more of a competition of who can impress who. Nox remembered that Gila wore the same outfit as Sae had. Maybe she was related in some way to Akane. She wanted to appeal to Gila’s human side. The line went down, Nox took a breath and walked into the room. Where Gila was sitting alone.

Nox: H-Hey. What’s going on?

Gila: Wow, where’d you get that outfit?

Nox: Uh, picked it out locally.

Gila: Where are you from?

Nox: Where am I from?

Gila: Yeah. Where?

Nox: The United States. Born and Raised.

Gila: Oh, the U.S. That explains a lot.

Nox: What’s that supposed to mean?

Gila: Hmm. So, I asked everyone this question. What do you like about me?

Nox: What do I like about you…?

Gila: Yeah, you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t have some interest in me.

Nox: Hmm. I like that you’re straight up with me. You’re assertive. And I like your hair. Oh, and your boobs.

Gila got flustered.

Gila: Uhm, thanks..?

Nox: Hey, and you’ll show a little emotion. Even though you're some royal-ass queen. What about me? What do you like about me?

Gila: What do I like about you? That’s not how this works.

Nox: You seek validation. Clearly. Why can’t I?

Gila: Everyone I’ve seen today has tried to prove themselves to me. As if I was a prize to win. I like that you don’t think I’m a prize. The way you talk, you clearly don’t belong here. You aren’t professional at all.

Nox: I’m from the damn woods. Of course I have no idea how to be professional.

Gila: And your tattoos? Where’d you get them?

Nox: It was a ceremony. Every child of Kimi was supposed to get them. Even though my sister got lucky.

Gila: I like your tattoos too.

Nox: So, what’s up? Did I win the prize? Are we going to do this date thing?

Gila: Well, that’s the point of this. I get to go out with everyone. Including you. But thank you for asking.

Nox: Uh, yeah. No problem.

Gila: Alright, good job. It was nice meeting you, Nox.

Nox: Yeah. Nice meeting you Gil..dy. Gildy! Nice meeting you!

Nox left the room. She met up with Atalanta, Kara, and Freya

Atalanta: So, how’d it go?

Nox: I guess it’s a date. I think she liked me.

Atalanta: Or she’s just faking it.

Kara: Hey! Nox is likable enough.

Freya: I mean, we don’t know where Gila came from. Who knows what her personality is like.

Nox: I tried to appeal to her human side. I think she liked it.

Atalanta: you also complimented her boobs. You damn creep.

Nox: Wait, you heard all of that?!

Kara and Freya were laughing.

Kara: We...We were trying to hide it!

Nox: I’m not bringing a com tomorrow!

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hunter and Cancer were sitting next to each other. Silently.

Cancer: So...what do you really want to do after this?

Hunter: I just want to go home. Alright? I want a normal life. No aliens. No superpowers. Just us. We can do whatever you want when we get home. Go to Volantes, we could travel the world.

Cancer: Doesn’t Kunai industries need you?

Hunter: Yeah. But we’re making do. I want to make the most out of my time with you.

Cancer: Don’t worry. We still have time to spend together.

Cancer stood up.

Hunter: Hey, where are you going?

Cancer: I’m not going far. Just going to freshen up.

They were in some sort of warehouse. Cancer went into a bathroom, she washed her face, and took a deep breath. She opened the door to leave, and jumped. She moved backward.

Cancer: Uh...Hey…

Akane was standing there, she was holding two karambit knives. She pointed one at Cancer.

Akane: Hey there beautiful. Just freshening up?

Cancer: H-

Akane teleported behind Cancer and covered her mouth.

Akane: This won’t kill you, it’s just a little love tap.

Akane bit Cancer on the side of the neck. She let out a cry and was knocked out.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sky was sitting in another room, next to the room Hunter and Cancer were in. Kaybian was locked up in front of Sky.

Kaybian: So...Does Rava still talk to you? In your head and all?

Sky: Well, no. He hasn’t. It’s actually pretty odd.

Kaybian: That’s because he must be coming up with something big. He doesn’t have the time to spend on filth like you.

Sky: Yeah, whatever you say.

Kaybian: Can I ask you a question, Sky?

Sky: I’m not supposed to talk to you.

Kaybian: You already have. So…?

Sky: Fine, then what is it?

Kaybian: What’s the lowest moment you’ve had in your life?

Sky: The lowest moment? Why would I tell you that?

Kaybian: It’s what my people would do. We would sit down, and talk about our lowest moments, and decide where we could build from there. So please, humor me.

Sky: Uh...Are you sure you aren’t going to do anything?

Kaybian: I’m tied down. How could an exchanging of words change anything physical?

Sky: Well, I guess my lowest moment was when I felt betrayed by everyone in my family. My mom and dad didn’t agree with my superhero life, and my uncle. Who I trusted with my life 100 times over ratted me out to B.L.A.D.E. My friends were by my side, but it still hurt a lot.

Sky figured she’d give a more human reason, rather than finding out she was a clone, and the host from her main dimension was a walking nuclear bomb.

Kaybian: This is easy for me, when my planet was destroyed. Everyone I knew and loved was blown to smithereens. But I was saved by King Rava.

Sky: So that’s why you love Rava so much?

Kaybian: He’s my king, he saved me. I cried when I placed that bomb, or well. Felt immense emotion.

Sky: Bomb?

Kaybian: I destroyed my world. It was a sad moment. Probably the lowest in my life. But I did it for Rava. King Rava!

Sky: You destroyed your own planet?

Kaybian: For every bad experience, there are many good experiences to save you. Your family betrayed you. But you had your friends to help you. Think about it.

Sky: ...Sure.

Sky started to distance herself from Kaybian again. He was just about as insane as she expected.

Kaybian: Your human morals are so strict. Why? Everyone’s going to have different beliefs. Trillions of us across the stars. Everyone who has different beliefs is insane. That’s how it always is.

Sky didn’t say anything. She walked outside.

Sky: Hunter?

Hunter: Hey Sky.

Sky: Where’s Cancer?

Hunter: That’s just it. I’m going to find her. She said she went to the bathroom to “freshen up”

Sky: Let me go see if she’s in there.

Sky went and looked in the bathroom. She came back to Hunter.

Hunter: Was she in there?

Sky: N-No.

Hunter summoned his wings. He was walking out of the warehouse.

Sky: Hunter!

Hunter: Just keep an eye on Kaybian!

## E20 - ANGELZ

Nox looked at the house Gila lived in. It was a big house made out of sun-dried bricks.

Nox: Ugh, everything here looks like sand. Sand here...sand there…

Nox had changed to a new outfit. A dark purple and black dress that had a shorter skirt. Nox wore a belt around her waist. She still wore the heels Hunter had gotten her.

Nox: God, Terra, I think I get why you go barefoot. Fuck these things.

Nox felt butterflies in her stomach.

Nox: Ugh...what’s this?

She pushed forward and knocked on the door to the house. Gila opened the door, in a similar outfit from yesterday.

Gila: Alright, so where are we going?

Nox: Uh, what do you like?

Gila: I want to know what you like.

Nox: Look, I don’t really care. I’ll eat anything.

Gila: Well, we could share some baklava.

Nox: Sure. Why not.

Gila grabbed Nox’s hand.

Gila: Come on!

Gila pranced through town, dragging Nox behind her. Everyone she passed bowed to her.

Nox: (Shit, did I bow?)

Gila brought her to a small restaurant.

Gila: I used to go here all the time.

The waiter came over to them.

Gila: Two baklava. I-I have a busy schedule.

Waiter: Of course, my queen!

The waiter left. Nox instantly saw that Gila was trying to be assertive, but failed horribly at it. She was a queen! All queens are bossy, they're supposed to rule!

Nox: So, you're a queen, right? Got a big family?

Gila: Well, I guess I do. I was actually adopted into my family.

Nox: So...How are you queen?

Gila: What?

Nox: It’s usually people in the family. How are you, queen?

Gila: I...I earned my rank! I proved myself to my mother.

Nox: Hm. Nice.

Their food came out after a little while.

Nox: Hmm. This looks pretty good.

Gila: This is actually a desert. But I love it.

It was some sort of sandwich with chopped and sweetened nuts in the middle. It was covered in honey. Nox bit into it. She swallowed the bite she took. She gave a disgusted expression. Wincing at the extreme sweetness of the food. Gila was enjoying it.

Gila: Do you like it?

Nox: Uhm, yeah. It isn’t bad.

Nox forced herself to eat half of the baklava. Gila had finished her’s.

Gila: Not going to finish yours?

Nox: I’m uh, full.

Gila: Well, more for me.

Gila took Nox’s plate and finished her food.

Gila: These foods are pretty small. They aren’t huge like all american food. That’s why most people here aren’t overweight. That and they’d die from heat exhaustion if they were overweight.

Nox: Well, I’m more of a meat person. You guys don’t eat like, camel here or something?

Gila: No! We don’t eat camels! Camels are our friends.

Gila got up and grabbed Nox’s hand again. It was starting to fall to night. They walked onto the night-streets of the town.

Gila: Come on, there’s something I want to show you.

Gila led Nox who-knows-where. Nox looked around the town.

Nox: How do you run in heels..?

Gila: Come on, it’s easy. It’s just like running without heels.

Gila led Nox out of the town.

Nox: Alright, where are we going?

Gila squatted down and started searching around the sand. She pressed a button. The ground started shaking. Nox was afraid that Gila had realized why Nox was there, and had set a trap. Something started to come out of the ground, it was a small pyramid. It was still about 100 feet tall.

Nox: Woah…(I guess the aliens did build the pyramids.)

Gila: I had a pyramid built for me. This is the grand reveal. Check it out!

Gila grabbed Nox’s hand and walked her up it. She found a loose part on the pyramid and pushed it to the side. Leaving room for them to both sit. Nox and Gila sat down next to each other. Gila laid down. Nox looked down at her. Confused.

Nox: What are you doing?

Gila: Lay down with me, silly.

Nox laid down next to Gila.

Gila: Look.

The stars were clear as if it was day, there was no clouds. Nox could see deep into the galaxy. She felt how small the world was. Maybe she was lucky the aliens had landed here, or at least something good may come out of it.

Nox: Holy shit…

Gila: Do you like the stars? It looks great, right?

Nox: I’ve never seen anything like this.

Gila: I like you Nox. You’re kind of a dork. Everyone who I went on dates with treated me like a queen. I thought that’s all I wanted. To be a queen. But it isn’t as good as I thought.

Nox: Royalty is overrated. Who wants to be another cog in the system? Another branch on a tree?

Gila: Then why are you here?

Nox: You could call it a sort of...mission.

Gila: Do I get to know what the mission is?

Nox: Nope.

Gila: Well, can I show you something, Nox?

Nox: Sure. What’s up?

Gila: It’s important. We...We should go inside of the pyramid.

Nox: ...Okay?

Gila led Nox down the pyramid, and then inside. It was much bigger inside than it looked.

Gila lightly touched Nox’s face and turned her towards herself.

Nox: Alright, stop building it up.

Nox felt like she knew what to expect, though she had never seen Gila’s alien form.

Gila: Alright, alright. Here goes.

She turned into her alien form. Her clothes didn’t fit her anymore. She had the physique of a normal human girl. But her legs were a little longer. She wore a tactical top and briefs. She had multiple storage pockets wrapped around her legs. With knives, and other weapons. Which used to be hidden by leggings. She was very skinny and lean. Her face was a little different from that of a humans. Her nose was pushed in and widened a little more. Her skin was fully reptilian, with a lighter green more in the center of her body, and a darker green around her body. She had blonde hair that was tied into a ponytail.

Nox: Holy shit…

Gila: You aren’t disgusted?

Nox: Why would I be? What does that even have to do with anything?

Gila: That’s all I’ve ever wanted to hear.

Gila came over to Nox. Nox looked into her eyes.

Gila: You don’t think I’m ugly?

Nox: Not really...I mean, what does looks have to do with anything? I’m not necessarily the greatest catch around. Everyone says I look like I’m always pissed off, then there’s the fact I’m covered in freckles.

Gila: So you like me? You’re willing to make this work?

Nox: Totally, Gila.

Gila had been getting closer and closer to Nox. She then backed up and looked at Nox. Nox’s heart sank.

Gila: Hey...wait. How do you know my real name?

Nox: Uhm...I-I…

Akane walked out of the corner of the pyramid.

Akane: Because she’s a Sentinel. As they like to call themselves.

Gila: What Mom? She isn’t a Sentinel!

Akane: Then what the hell is she doing here?

Akane turned on the lights inside of the structure. Cancer was tied up in the corner.

Gila: How does that prove anything? Nox! Are you a Sentinel?

Nox: Look, I didn’t want to hurt you. Which is a first for me. I saw how you acted earlier. You don’t want to be a queen. You said it yourself. So what is this place for? What’s the point of this little kingdom you’ve made for yourself? You want validation? Is that it?

Gila: You didn’t answer my question.

Nox: Answer mine.

Gila: Of course I want validation! All I’ve had to seek for in my life is validation. When I’m in a family that looks just as perfect as my perfect Mom over there! Humans are so perfect. Why do you think I took the form of a beautiful human?

Akane: Aww...That’s so nice of you.

Gila: Be honest, Nox. You knew my real name. How?

Nox: It’s pretty obvious you don’t want me to be a Sentinel.

Akane: They killed Bozon and Nozob. They’ll kill us too.

Gila: Right.

Nox: Gila. I don’t want to hurt you. Y’know. All of that back there, it was a mission. But it was real. I really do...think you’re pretty cool. If you attack me though, then. I’ll have no choice.

Gila looked at Akane.

Gila: Mom…

Akane: Kill her.

Gila took out her short-sword and slashed Nox across the side. She slid and ran to the other side of the room. Standing away from Nox.

Nox: Ugh! Bastard…

Nox kicked off her heels and got ready for Gila’s next attack.

Nox: You spend all your life looking for someone who doesn’t think you’re the ugly duckling! Then you try to kill her? What the fuck?

Akane: Don’t listen to this bitch! She’s using you, so she can kill you later on. How many men do you think tried that on me, Gila? Hundreds. So get the job done. Your love needs to be earned. You kill a Sentinel, maybe you’ll be able to stand with Sae and Silias!

Nox: You hear how fucked up that is?! You have to earn love? This whore just admitted to being in bed with hundreds!

Akane: I’m a vampire. Of course I have lots of kids.

Nox: Do you even know the names of half of your kids?

Akane: It’s an empire I’m building up.

Nox: You’re sick.

Akane: Kill this filth. Another Lorenz. Think about it. Sae failed to kill a Lorenz. If you are able to do it...You can have whatever you want. A kingdom, a significant other, anything.

Gila: Sorry, Nox.

Nox: Alright then. It is what it is.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sky went back into the warehouse. Her heart sank when she saw that Kaybian’s seat was empty.

Sky: Are you serious? Kaybian! Where are you?

Sky heard a step behind her. Then Kaybian enlarged. He burst through the top of the ceiling, blowing it open. Sky yelled for Hunter’s name. But he was too far away. She looked up, just seeing Kaybian’s leg, and the loud crashing of the building collapsing on top of her. She tried to make a shield.

## E21 - RAID

Gila slashed at Nox rapidly, Nox did her best to dodge her knife. But even she couldn’t stand up to Gila’s speed. Gila slashed her across the stomach. Gila kicked Nox in the stomach. She went flying back, and rolled backwards to her feet. By the time she had reached her feet, Gila was already in front of her. She looked like she had turned her emotions off. She stabbed Nox in the stomach.

Gila: Nox…

Nox let out a chuckle.

Nox: Y’know. I picked up a little bit from my sister. She showed me how to take a sword to the stomach.

Nox ripped the sword out of her stomach and held it at Gila.

Nox: Oh, fuck it.

Nox slashed the sword at Gila. They clashed swords. Nox dropped her sword and moved out of the way of Gila’s. She punched Gila in the stomach. She was so light that she got some air as Nox hit her away, she slid across the sand on the ground. Nox walked towards Gila.

Nox: My Mom was just like Akane. She didn’t give a shit about me. She trained me to be a weapon. Not a person.

Akane: You really should stop talking about me like that. Can’t you see the power I have over you here?

Nox: Not really.

Nox ran around Akane and threw Gila’s sword at her. She caught it in the air. Nox blitzed her. She lifted her hand, and the sand from the ground lifted Nox in the air. Akane threw Nox to the side as she flew in the air.

Akane: Kill her, Gila.

Akane gave Gila one of her karambit knives. Gila looked at Akane. They suddenly heard the roar of a dragon. Hunter punched through the top of the pyramid. He landed on top of Gila. He picked her up and held his gun to her head.

Nox: Hunter! What the hell are you doing here?

Hunter: Nobody fucking move! Where the hell is Cancer?!

Cancer let out a cry from the corner.

Akane: Shut the hell up!

Akane walked over to Cancer.

Hunter: Put your hands on her, and I’ll blow her fucking head off!

Hunter slammed his gun into Gila’s head.

Akane smiled at Hunter, then looked at Gila. She touched Cancer’s virus. She let out more cries.

Hunter: Stop it! I’m not joking!

Akane kicked Cancer’s chair over and kicked her in the face. Cancer’s chair broke, and she started crawling over to a broken piece of wood.

Hunter cocked his gun back.

Nox: Hey! Don’t! She’s on our side!

Hunter aimed his gun at Akane. He shot at her. She stopped the bullets in the air. Gila tackled Hunter to the ground, as Akane shot the bullets back at them. She made them stop before they hit the wall, and made them fly at the ground. It didn’t do anything to Gila, another bullet hit Hunter in the leg. Gila stood up, with Akane’s knife in hand.

Akane: Hand the knife over, Gila. You can have the two. I want the one.

Gila: Why not suck her blood?

Akane: I don’t want a damn virus!

Gila walked up, holding out the karambit knife.

Akane: Chop-chop. Knife. Now.

Akane looked at Cancer, defenseless on the ground. She looked back at Gila, and held out her hand. Gila looked at Akane for the last time. She stabbed Akane through the hand with her knife. She let out a scream.

Akane: What the hell is wrong with you?! Gila!

Akane grabbed Gila by the neck and picked her up.

Akane: I’m going to ring you out until your goddamn eyes pop.

Cancer stood up behind Akane. She broke a chair leg off of Akane’s leg. She snapped her bone in half. She fell to one knee. Akane dropped Gila. Cancer slashed a broken chair leg across her face. Akane fell back.

Akane: Argh! It’s dark! All I can see is total darkness! What the fuck did you do you damn bitch!?

Akane turned into mist, a bunch of bats flew away, one bat flew through a crack in the pyramid.

Nox: Are you okay?

Gila: Yeah.

Hunter went over to Cancer, and picked her up. She was still crying.

Hunter: Shh...It’s going to be okay.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hunter, Cancer, Nox and Gila met up with the rest of the Sentinels.

Freya: What the hell is she doing here?

Atalanta readied a water blast. Nox got in front of Gila.

Nox: No! No! It’s alright! She’s with us!

Kaybian was walking all over the town Gila had made. He stomped on buildings. Sky flew in the air. She shot a large laser into Kaybian. He put his hand up to try and block it. He tried slapping Sky away. But she was like a mosquito you just couldn’t shake. Even though Sky tried her best, she couldn’t put him down.

Gila: Why my town, Kaybian?

Sky landed next to the Sentinels. She held up a blast at Gila.

Nox: Sky! She’s with us now! Gila, is that right?

Gila: Yeah.

Atalanta: Look, we should focus on the bigger threat here, anyway.

Freya: Sky, nothing you did worked, right?

Sky: I shot what I had at him. It might’ve slowed him down. But it didn’t stop him.

Freya: Dammit...What do we do?

Sky: I mean, you’re supposed to know that. You’re the leader.

Hunter: Sky...You can teleport to places you can see, right? Pretty easily?

Sky: Yeah. I can.

Hunter: Destroy him from the inside. Freya or Atalanta should go in with Sky.

Gila: Bring me in.

Hunter: You? Why?

Gila: I can cut him open from the inside. This karambit knife was created with my mother in mind. It’ll be powerful enough to pierce his heart.

Hunter: How powerful is his heart?

Gila: It’s nearly impossible to pierce, and forget about laser blasts. This will break through it.

Hunter: What do you guys think?

Freya: Well, new girl. This is your chance to prove yourself. Us out here, we’ll distract him.

Sky focused on where Kaybian was. But he kept moving.

Sky: Guys. You need to stop him from moving.

Nox: What? That’s impossible!

Freya: We’ll do what we can. Everyone! Keep his legs from moving.

Atalanta: I’m going to try and freeze his legs.

Kaybian let out a roar and a blue mark on his chest lit up. A large chest laser on his chest shot out. He destroyed more and more houses, and killed more and more people. The laser was coming towards them.

Freya: Sky!

Sky: Yeah! I know!

A barrier came around Sky and the rest of the Sentinels, inverting the area. The laser got closer and closer. Atalanta stepped out of the barrier.

Atalanta: Teleport closer!

She shot a blast of water at Kaybian. He was hit in the face. Sky teleported away, and Atalanta jumped into one of the puddles she made. She jumped out of the water that had hit Kaybian. She stabbed her spear into his skin. But it just clinked off. Atalanta fired some ice onto Kaybian as she fell. She slid down the ice like a slide. She shot it under her until she got to the ground safely. One of Kaybian’s legs was stuck. He went to move his other leg. Sky made a bunch of diamonds and fired them into his leg. Atalanta took the chance while he was stunned to hit his other leg with ice. Freya turned into her demon form and flew into the air. She fired fire blasts at Kaybian. Kaybian ignored them and swiped at Freya. Freya stopped his hand in the air. She stabbed Kaybian’s hand with her sword, and slashed down and out. He let out a cry.

Sky: Come on!

Sky landed by Gila and grabbed her hand. The inverted barrier came around them.

Sky: Are you sure you’re ready for this?

Gila: Yeah.

Sky and Gila teleported inside of Kaybian. Sky held Gila up while she flew.

Sky: Ugh...This smell…Do you have anywhere we might find his heart?!

Gila: Fire blasts!

Sky: Yeah!

Sky fired blasts all over the place, illuminating the area. Outside, Kaybian started moving around violently. He knocked Freya out of the air. She landed on the ground and looked up at Kaybian. Atalanta tried her best to get out of the way.

Gila: There! Right there!

A heart made out of a hard material was illuminated.

Sky: I see it!

Gila: Throw me!

Sky spun Gila around and threw her at the heart. Gila fell on a bone, she was under the heart.

Sky: Sorry! Let me fly you-

Gila jumped incredibly high in the air and landed next to the heart. She held up the karambit knife and stabbed it into Kaybian’s heart. It clinked off the hard surface of the heart. Gila put all of her strength into it. Sky flew behind her. Sky pushed down. With both Gila and Sky’s combined might, they stabbed through Kaybian’s heart. Gila took out the knife. The heart started to illuminate a white light.

Gila: Oh shit! Teleport us out! Now!

Sky: Give me your hand!

Gila grabbed Sky’s hand, and she teleported them out just as the heart started to implode.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sky and Gila landed next to the rest of the team. Who had moved to a sand hill away from Gila’s town. They watched as the town burnt to the ground, and Kaybian fell to the ground, as his body ripped itself apart. Gila held Nox’s hand.

Nox: Holy shit…

Kara looked over to Gila.

Kara: Hey, are you okay? I know that this town was yours.

Gila: I am, actually.

Sky: We should probably go back and look for people who survived.

## E22 - BREAK IN THE ACTION

The Sentinels were walking down a neighborhood in Upstate New York. They walked up to a house that was abandoned. Freya took out a key. She opened the house.

Freya: This house is James’ Wilson’s. The guy who started all of this. Just figured we could visit it, so we can reconvene.

Sky: This is James’ house?

Atalanta: Mr. Untouchable?

Hunter: Hey, Sky. Are you going to heal this for me or what?

Sky created some light that went around her hand. She was healing the bullet wound Hunter had sustained.

Freya: So, what now?

Atalanta: I want to ask what the hell this girl is doing here.

Gila: Me?

Atalanta: Yeah. How do we know we can trust you?

Gila: I mean, considering I attacked two of my comrades, I think that clears the air.

Kara: You were an accomplice to Akane. What was that about?

Gila: I lived on a planet far away from here. Rava took over my planet. I don’t know why he didn’t kill me. But Akane took me in. She leads a large army of vampires. So, for some reason she took me under her wing. It was just like living on my planet. I was not the dominant species next to my newfound brothers and sisters. So I had to learn to survive. That’s all I’ve been doing. You humans, you live with no worries. I want to be like you. After we kill Rava.

Sky: You want to kill him?

Gila: I hate him! He killed my people. Killed my family.

Freya: So why did he pick you for this mission?

Gila: I think he saw my hate. He wanted to harness me to do his deeds. You know, it doesn’t even matter…

Nox: We should just kill him.

Freya: He’s too dangerous to be kept alive.

Kara: We dealt with Yuri. We can take care of him.

Freya: So, what about you, Hunter?

Hunter: Me?

Freya: Are you done?

Hunter: Cancer, Akane beat you half to death.

Sky was now working on healing Cancer.

Hunter: There’s one more obstacle in front of us. There’s no reason not to finish the job. But, I don’t want Cancer to be at risk. What do you think? Canc?

Cancer: It’s your choice, really. My opinion hasn’t really changed.

Gila: I mean, your girlfriend could just stay here if you really want her to rest. We’d still be seven strong.

Cancer: I don’t think I’m done. I-I want to finish this.

Freya: Are you guys sure?

Hunter: Yeah.

Freya: Okay. That’s that. You guys have grown to be a pretty damn good team. So let’s do this.

Atalanta: Well then, before we all die, what are our plans?

Freya: What?

Atalanta: What are our plans if we don’t die? I feel like we’ve gotta get some stuff off our chest. Any secret supplies of money buried in a desert somewhere? I just figure, since we’re walking to our deaths.

Freya: Well...I want to meet my son for real. I saw him in person when I broke in.

Kara: Wait a second, he saw you?!

Freya: Only in my demon form. He didn’t recognize me. Well...I think he did recognize me as someone. I can’t pretend he doesn’t exist anymore. So I’m going to meet him.

Atalanta: Well, we all know what tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber are going to do.

Cancer laughed.

Cancer: I guess you do. I guess we can look for a cure to this terrible virus. Aaand go shopping in Volantes!

Hunter: Yeah, that. You get to use your homeless shelter money.

Cancer: What?!

Sky: I don’t really want this team to end. I’m going to keep doing this, and nobody is going to stop me.

Nox: Uhm, I guess I’ll go back to Delta. I’ll show her how good of a team player I am now, since that’s why I ended up here in the first place.

Gila: Is there anything else you want to do?

Nox: Gila...we should probably save this for...y’know. Somewhere else?

Gila: C’mon Nox…

Nox: Atalanta! What are you going to do?

Atalanta: Me? Guess I’ll uh...see how my son’s doing. Oh! And I’ll get some coffee and a doughnut from this place called Bibble and Sip.

Kara: You’re kidding me, that’s all?

Atalanta: What are you going to do, then?

Kara: I guess I’ll...I don’t really know.

The TV in the house turned on. Static was all over the screen. Someone’s face came on the screen. He adjusted the camera. He was in some sort of dark room. His face was barely visible. The team could make out an eyepatch.

Kara: Fury?

Sky: No, that guy is different. He has hair.

???: Don’t compare me to that man. You people are the last people I wanted to contact for this. But it’s my duty to protect my country.

Cancer: Uh, you mean the world. Right?

???: No.

There was a silence.

Atalanta: What do you want? And who are you?

???: My codename used to be Black Snow. Call me that.

Sky: Why were you called that?

Black Snow: Because I’m black and graceful as snow. No more stupid questions. You are here to answer to me.

Atalanta: Okay, you condescending bastard. Listen he-

Black Snow: No. You listen to me! This King Rava, his spaceship is on it’s way towards Earth. What B.L.A.D.E has done doesn’t seem to have worked. Of course it didn’t. The ship is slowly moving towards us. This is your call to action, Sentinels. Sacrifice yourself for your country.

A live video footage of the ship moving through the solar system came on the TV.

Black Snow: Here’s your chance. Will you take it?

Hunter: Unless you have a spare spaceship, then we aren’t making it.

Black Snow: I believe you have a solution. If she’s powerful enough.

Sky: Me?

Black Snow’s audio turned off. All that was left was the footage of the ship moving.

Kara: You can teleport there.

Sky: That far? That’s like...halfway across the solar system! P-Plus, I’m teleporting all of you!

Freya: Well, you need to have seen the place you want to go to get there. I mean, what’s better than live footage?

Sky: I...I guess I can try. Everyone get close.

Everyone surrounded Sky.

Sky: Hold hands. A direct connection is the best.

Sky grabbed Freya and Hunter’s hands. Everyone formed a circle.

Sky: Alright...Alright. You can do this Sky. You can do this...Just teleporting like...a lightyear away. Easy.

Atalanta:Don’t hype it up. Just do it. Get it over with. Envision where you want to be, and make that shit happen.

Sky: Yeah...Yeah…

Sky looked straight at the TV. She saw the ship moving slowly. She envisioned the team being there. They were surrounded with the barrier of inverted color. Sky let her power flow through the team.

Freya: Everyone, lend any power you have.

Atalanta glowed a light blue, Kara and Freya let out their demonic magic, Nox was surrounded by a black aura.

Cancer: Uhm, you can do this Sky!

Hunter: Yeah, You’ve uh, got this.

The team disappeared from James’ house. They slowly reappeared inside of a gigantic room. Everything looked futuristic. There was a blue light all over the place, and they were looking around at a reflective surface. Sky looked down at the floor. It was a mirror. Atalanta tried stomping on it to see if it’d break.

Atalanta: Damn, what a strong mirror. Oh, and hey! You did it Sky.

Cancer: Yeah! You’re a legend!

Freya: Good job.

Sky: Y-Yeah. Thanks guys.

Nox: I don’t mean to be a downer. But I think that’s the ship.

They looked at the ship they were on, It was much smaller than the ship that floated above them. It was the size of a planet, and they were about a football field away from it. It was the size of a sphere, like a stereotypical ufo. There was a ring around it, spinning over and over the sphere. It lit up with blue light all over.

## E23 - LIGHTWORKS

Nozob was laughing at Bozon.

Nozob: Me! I have the control! It feels so good to finally see you below me! To live in my shadow!

Bozon: If I could kill you, I would.

Nozob: I think I might actually kill you now.

Akane: All of you! Shut up now!

Bozon: Oh, the vampire queen! Boo hoo! How you’ve fallen from grace!

Akane had a new, robotic hand. Her eyes were replaced with some sort of cybernetic replacement. She had discolored eyes, white pupils and black sclera.

Nozob: Wow, you look ugly now. I wouldn’t want to look into those eyes.

Akane: I’m a freak! I know! Rava didn’t have anything else in storage.

Kuzu was sitting at another table. Keeping to herself. She was in her alien form. Now constrained to it.

Kuzu: I could’ve made you new eyes!

Akane: This is the fastest option.

Bozon: Rava’s top priority was always destroying shit! Rightfully.

Rava walked into the large lunchroom everyone was sitting in.

Rava: What are you all doing? We have work to do. Before we assimilate Earth, we have a threat we need to stomp out.

Akane: That team of losers? Why?

Rava: If they truly were losers, they wouldn’t have killed Kaybian and taken Gila on their side. They wouldn’t have blinded one of my greatest mistresses, and made her into a horrible monster! So, I brought in your most powerful right hand vampires.

Silias and Sae walked into the room. Sae had a huge smile on her face. She was nearly giggling.

Sae: I heard Gila decided to fly the coop.

Silias: She must not know chickens survive very well in the wild.

Sae: The point is, I want to kill her. Let me do the honors mommy! Let me grab her by her neck and ring her out!

Akane: You’ll get your chance, honey.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Atalanta: C’mon, let’s teleport there.

Sky: Give me a second to recharge. I need the sun!

Cancer: Dumb question. Can you breathe in space?

Sky: Well, yeah. I can.

Kara: You’ll be able to feel the sun better if you go into space.

Sky flew out of the spaceship, she stood on top of the spaceship, and tried to absorb power.

Sky: Maybe I can catch the sun’s rays…

Sky took the chance to look out. She could really see the solar system. They were in between Jupiter and Mars. She could see the gas giant up close. Sky thought about how she’d never see anything like this again. The sense of awe that Sky had was now broken. She looked at Rava’s ship in front of her. It was starting to charge one of it’s cannons, and it was aiming right at the Sentinels.

Freya: What the hell is Sky doing?

Rava’s ship cannon shot a huge green blast. Sky flew backwards, off the spacecraft the team was on, and fired her own blast of light. They both converged. Sky was getting tired quickly. She felt her arms getting weak, and her energy draining quickly.

Sky: We aren’t going to die now, we’re just getting started!

Sky held out her other hand and shot a bunch of blasts into her own. She summoned all her strength into her blast. Making Rava’s blast overtake her’s for a second. Until it couldn’t. Sky’s blast pushed the energy blast back into Rava’s ship and blew up the firing cannon. Sky landed on top of the Sentinels’ spaceship, and fell to one knee. Everyone was looking up through the glass at her in shock. Sky went back into the ship.

Kara: Holy shit Sky, where’d that come from?

Sky: I...Dunno.

They looked up to see Rava’s ship charging up another blast, including multiple cannons.

Nox: Hey guys! I don’t think Rava wants to take anymore of our shit!

Sky: Everyone! With me!

Sky looked up at the ship charging a blast. Luckily it took longer. It shot blasts that were all the same size as the one Sky pushed back, and they joined. To create a gigantic laser. By this point Sky had surrounded everyone with her barrier. It engulfed the Sentinels slower and slower. The laser fired, and the Sentinels’ ship was destroyed.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

The Sentinels landed inside of Rava’s ship. They looked around, they were in a large hall, to the right there were huge doors, They were see-through. More like portals. There were many different worlds through the doors. To the left were many different intelligent species in cages.

Sky: Oh my god...What are those people?

Gila: The people who weren’t genetically modified.

Kara: Genetically modified?

Gila: Rava isn’t into morals. He knows that he’s very smart, smarter than most species. There’s no telling if killing him will really “kill” him. He finds unsuspecting intelligent civilizations, and genetically modified some of them so they wouldn’t even be recognizable.

Cancer: What...That sounds horrible!

Gila: I think he made a mistake this time. He got too confident. Now he’s falling back. Trying to rush his attack on humanity.

Hunter: What do you exactly mean by genetically modified?

Gila: We could go into one of those portals, and you could see.

Atalanta: Uhm, I think I’m good.

Atalanta walked in front of everyone and walked backwards.

Freya: Atalanta!

Atalanta tripped on a wire. One of the portals sucked in all of the Sentinels. They were on a new planet. It was red, and dust silently floated through the air.

Sky: Are we on mars…?

Gila: No. I don’t know what this planet is.

Cancer: Oh my god...what is that?

There was a creature that walked on hind legs. It looked like it had a bird beak protruding from where it’s mouth would be. It was tall, and it’s arms were very long. It was moaning as if it was trying to talk.

Gila: Hunter, your gun, please.

Hunter: That’s a genetically engineered species?

Gila: That’s one of the more tame ones.

Hunter held up his gun.

Gila: He’s in pain.

He shot the creature in the head.

Kara: Jeez...to think I lived thousands of years, and I haven’t seen any of the vast universe.

Sky: How do we get out of here?

Gila: We need to find a portal post. That’ll take us out. We can’t go back the way we came out.

The team walked through the barren desert. Eventually, they saw small houses, a medieval type civilization. There were groups of people dumping bodies into holes.

Kara: What happened here…?

There was a crudely built statue of a king. “King Levi, The last of the Levi line. He will be dearly missed by billions. Fought valiantly against the monsters.” Next to the word monster, was a drawing of Rava’s face. As the team walked through the town, everyone seemed down in the dumps. Still mourning for their king, and their loved ones.

Cancer: So, there were billions of people on this planet?

Gila: Not anymore.

Atalanta: Hey, how did nobody notice that?

In the center of the town, there was a golden statue of Rava. When the team looked closer at buildings, there were flyers telling about how great Rava was. They saw a man walk past them with a suitcase. He was talking on some sort of communication device. The people of this civilization walked upright, their heads were much bigger than that of normal humans.

Man: I only see my wives one day out of the week! This is my day! So shove it up your ass!

The man threw a device that was in his ear on the ground and crushed it with his foot. He looked at the Sentinels.

Man: What the hell are you looking at?

Gila led the Sentinels away.

Gila: Here’s the portal. I just need to input the code.

Gila pressed a bunch of numbers, and the portal turned on. Showing Rava’s ship. They walked through the portal.

Atalanta: Look who's back.

Akane stood in front of the group of aliens. Kuzu, Sae, Silias, Bozon and Nozob.

Sae: Hey mommy? Can we break them?

## E24 - THAT’S THAT

Atalanta: How are you two still alive?

Nozob: We are much harder to put down than you thought. You killed me first, so my regeneration process was already in affect as you killed Bozon. Hence, I was regenerated. And I was able to regenerate Bozon. Regrettably.

Kuzu: I managed to bring myself back together after an excruciating few days. I think I’m going to start the operation on you.

Kuzu pointed at Atalanta.

Atalanta: What’s the point of this conquest anyway? What does Earth have that’s so important.

Rava’s voice was heard out of nowhere.

Rava: Intelligent life, of course. I’m a man of science. Humans are quite impressive, really. They were able to secure a spot as the most feared species across their planet. But you can only fair so much on a planet scale. What about being the most dominant species across the universe? Anyone and everyone bends to your will! That’s the joy of genetic manipulation! To make the perfect creature!

Atalanta: Well then what’s the fun in being the best? Where’s the competition?

Rava: Competition? That’s the point! Any competition I will deal with, will be crushed. I’m talking about a utopia for me and my people.

Kara: And what about us?

Rava: A dystopia.

Freya: Alright, that’s enough.

The teams ran towards eachother.

Nox kicked at Bozon, he grabbed her leg and threw her backward. She got to her ground, and ran circles around Bozon. Nozob threw a knife in at Nox. Kara knocked it out of the way and swung her staff down at Nozob. Silias grabbed Kara from the back and bit into her neck. Kara kneed him and kicked him back.

Kara: Sorry, blood-sucking doesn’t work on me.

Kara took out her gun and shot at Silias, who turned into a bat and began flying around. Gila and Akane were engaged in a knife fight, none of them hitting either shot. Akane backhanded Gila. Nox was knocked away by Bozon. She stopped Gila from landing. They both kicked Akane backward, and backflipped off of her. Bozon grabbed both of them and slammed their heads together. Atalanta threw her spear into Bozon’s back. Bozon tried to grab it. But he couldn’t reach it. Atalanta jumped on his back and grabbed her spear. She slashed it down. Nozob started firing swords at Atalanta. She created a wall of ice, and had to extend it when Bozon reached for her. She kicked herself away and shot water at both of them to keep them back.

Sae threw a couple punches at Hunter. He blocked both of them, she grabbed his hand and started spinning around on his body. She brought him to the ground, about to break his arm. Cancer slammed her sword on the ground, and Sae jumped back. She jumped off of Cancer’s sword and threw her own sword into the air. She landed on top of Cancer, wrapping her legs around Cancer’s neck. She caught her sword in the air.

Hunter: Burning heart of Fafnir!

Hunter grabbed Sae off of Cancer and threw her into the wall. He blocked an overhead strike from Kuzu’s scythe.

Kuzu: I may not be as strong as last time, bu-

Hunter shot her in the stomach, she stumbled backwards.

Hunter: I don’t care.

Hunter shot her in the tubes that were keeping her alive, just like last time. She fell down and started gasping for air. Hunter stood up on top of her, putting his foot on her chest. He shot her in the face.

Cancer: Jeezus christ Hunter…

Hunter seemed like he was snapped out of it. Like he had been thrown into a fit of blind anger.

Hunter: I...I guess the adrenaline got to me.

Sae came up behind Hunter.

Sae: I doubt it…!

Hunter put his gun to Sae’s stomach and shot. He heard the clanging of metal, Sae was holding his gun with her robotic hand. She ripped it from him and kicked him in the stomach.

Sae: I think guns are unfair!

Cancer: Robotic hand...robotic leg…

Sae raised her sword to murder Hunter. But she was lifted into the air and flipped multiple times. Cancer threw her across the ship. She landed and caught her footing.

Sae: It seems like someone wants to die…

Cancer called Hunter’s gun to herself. But Nozob stopped it with her foot. She picked it up and shot Hunter, who was trying to get up. Then shot at Cancer, who just barley stopped the bullet with her powers. Kara pushed Cancer out of the way and took the bullet. Nozob filled Kara with the entire clip. Bozon landed next to Cancer and grabbed her by the leg and slammed her against the wall. Cancer felt the air in her lungs leave her, like a vacuum. Freya slashed at Bozon. He moved out of the way of the slash. Akane came up from behind Freya and bit her on the neck.

Akane: Have you ever had a nightmare?

Freya was left there, trapped in a trance. Sky flew from across the ship at Bozon. She fired tons of little diamonds at him. He was barley phased, he grabbed her by the face and slammed her on the ground. Gila reached for her knife, but Bozon put his foot on her leg, stopping her from moving. Nox kicked at Akane, Akane turned into bats and landed behind Nox. She stabbed Nox in the back. Nox ducked when she went for a bite and kicked her in the head. Nozob teleported in front of Nox and stabbed her in the stomach. She slashed her up more and more. Atalanta slashed her spear up at Bozon. Bozon flipped her around and got her in a chokehold. Kara stood up around everyone, shaking off the bullets from earlier.

Kara: Alright...that’s enough! You bastards are done!

Kara’s hair went all white, and she lit up with a red aura. She let out a burst of energy that sent everyone flying, but left the Sentinels room to recover.

Atalanta: Alright. All of you are fucked.

Atalanta slammed her hand on the ground, causing the ground to be covered with ice. Kara gave Nox a boost on the ice. She slid across, towards Nozob. Who slashed at Her. Nox ducked under and grabbed Her leg. Nox brought her over her head and slammed her on the ground. She kicked Nox off of her and summoned a bunch of swords, but they immediately fell down. Sky started flying around Bozon, she dodged every punch he threw at her. He threw a punch at her, and she flew away. Leaving just Atalanta in his sights. He jumped at Atalanta and punched her in the face, but his punch did nothing.

Atalanta: You’re that weak? You can’t even punch me?

Sky flew in from a distance and kicked Bozon in the face. He was shot over and over from the back, with Kara’s gun armed with demon magic. Sky flew around Kara, and Kara threw Sky at Bozon. She fired a blast into his face, blinding him. Kara jumped in and slammed her staff across the face. He fell down.

Sae came from behind Kara and stabbed her through the back. Sky shot a blast at Sae, she tried blocking with her arm, but it was too big. Kara ripped the sword out of her stomach and threw it into Sae’s stomach, she was pushed into the wall, and pinned there.

Silias took out a knife and slashed at Gila. Gilia blocked it with her karambit knife and slid the knife out of Silias’ hand. He punched Gila in the gut. Then Nox grabbed Silias by the back of the neck and brought him to the ground. She punched him across the face over and over. She jumped off of him, and Gila threw her knife into him.

The Sentinels now surrounded Akane. They all went to attack her at the same time, but they were frozen in place telekinetically. Rava threw them all backward with the flick of a wrist.

Atalanta got up first, she fired a blast of water in the air. She jumped out of some water in the air and threw her spear straight at Rava. Who stopped it in the air and stabbed it through Atalanta. He walked up to Atalanta and ripped the spear out of her. Kara shot her gun at him. He tried to stop the bullets. But it didn’t work. He teleported behind Kara and slashed the spear across her body. Kara blocked the next slash. Gila slashed at Rava with her knife. Rava ducked under and slashed Kara across the leg. He ducked under Kara’s staff, and in one fell swoop, slashed Kara’s head off her body. Nox made a ball of darkness go around Rava to trap him.

Sky: Pin him down!

Sky fired a huge blast at Rava. He broke from the ball of darkness, firing green blasts like the ones that came from his ship on both sides. He overpowered Nox, and she was blasted down the hall. He then focused on Sky. Who didn’t stop her assault. Until her head suddenly throbbed. She fell down, and Rava blasted her back.

Rava: Why must I always do things by myself?

Gila was crawling across the ground. She saw her knife laying behind Akane. Inside of Freya’s mind, she saw Lionheart’s crest fall from his chest. There was a tall man surrounded by darkness. She screamed out for Lionheart, as another Sentinel. One with wings fought the man in darkness. Freya went to his side.

Lionheart: I leave my heart with this team, Freya. I can never be beaten. Never be triumphed. Neither can we!

Freya was knocked out of the trance. She looked to her side, to see Gila sitting next to Akane. She was silently crying. Rava walked towards Sky, who was still in massive pain. He picked her up by the head.

Rava: I’ve looked around your head. It’s one of the most interesting adventures. Thickheaded as you are. So what was it I said before? I was going to melt your brain?

Rava put both of his hands on Sky’s head.

Sky: GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

Rava: Scream and cry all you want.

Rava was hit in the back by a blast of fire. He dropped Sky, and turned around to see Freya. He laughed.

Rava: I guess you really do hate me, Gila.

Rava picked up Kara’s staff. He walked towards Freya. They clashed weapons. He hit Freya in the face and grabbed her with his telekinesis and brought her towards him. Ready to pierce her with the staff. Freya summoned her demon form, and Rava was knocked out of it.

Freya: That’s enough!

Freya flew into the air and flew at Rava. He swung the staff at her. Freya dodged around it and slashed it out of his hand. She made fire come all around him. He fired a huge blast at Freya. She put out one hand and blocked the blast, and flew through the blast. She tried to reach him with her sword. But she couldn’t. He blasted her backward. Freya couldn’t move to any side, so she began to tank the blast. Gila threw her karambit knife at Rava, he fell on one knee from the hit. Atalanta created a barrier of ice around him. Hunter, with Fafnir punched through the ice. Rava went flying through. Cancer hit him with her sword, slamming him to the ground, and then batted him across the ground with her other sword. Nox put her foot on his neck. She kicked him in the face at superspeed. He went flying across the room. Freya stabbed behind her, her sword went out his chest.

Atalanta: Piece of shit!

Atalanta stabbed him with her spear, and Gila stabbed him with her knife.

Rava: Glory to Rava…

3 Days Later

Everyone was in James’ house. The team was around the dining table. Atalanta was passing out plates of pancakes.

Cancer: UFO pancakes! So we can eat Rava away from Earth!

Nox: Very creative.

Atalanta: Horrible.

Cancer: God...I need a vacation from saving the world…

Hunter: I need a vacation from everything…

Sky: Oh yeah, this is your last mission, right guys?

Hunter: If you need our help, just call. That’s how I’ll answer that question.

Nox: Oh yeah, Gila. Now that you’re free, what are you going to do?

Gila: I thought I was coming with you.

Nox: You-you’re coming with me?

Gila: As long as I’m not being a burden.

Nox: Well, get ready to get embarrassed by Delta.

Gila: Your mother?

Nox: Uhm, no. Actually. But I look up to her.

Freya: I say we do something fun for the last day we’re together.

Sky: Like watch something on TV?

Nox: Like a movie?

Sky: Sure. Something normal friends would do. Y’know?

Atalanta: What about a horror movie?

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

The Sentinels were all watching an old horror movie. Everyone was glued to the screen. Except for Kara. She looked at her phone, checking the time. She stood up, and walked out as the movie was starting to come to a close. Sky watched as she walked away, and followed her. Kara was looking up into the night sky.

Sky: Hey, Kara. What’s going on?

Kara: I...I think I’ve seen everything there is to see on Earth. I’ve seen civilizations be built. I’ve seen them fall. The people on that ship, the people Rava hurt. They need to be helped, and nobody is going to do anything.

Sky: What are you talking about?

Kara: I want to take over the empire he left behind. Return the people to their homes, and try and reverse this genetic engineering Rava did.

Sky: You want to travel space?

Kara: Yeah. I guess so. I’m going to be a space nomad now. Do you think everyone else will be able to accept that?

Sky: Kara, there’s only one way to find out.

Kara: I guess you’re right.

Kara went inside, as the credits to the movie were rolling. She was afraid, but she spoke up in front of everyone.

Kara: Uhm...guys…! I have an announcement.

Kara explained her new goal. To help the people Rava hurt. Freya was the first to come up to her.

Freya: We’ll always accept you back Kara. You know that.

Kara: You’re funny when you act all serious.

Freya: Well fuck you too.

Kara: Yeah, fuck you.

Freya and Kara hugged each other. Kara went around and said goodbye to everyone. Most of everyone she shook hands with, aside from Cancer. Who met her with a hug and crying. Sky and Kara went into the backyard. Kara grabbed Sky’s hand. She teleported her back to the spaceship.

Sky: Here we are. Oh, hey. Freya gave me this.

Sky gave Kara Lionheart’s crest.

Kara: Oh my god, thank you. Sky. You’ve been a good friend. I won’t forget you.

Sky: Aww.

Kara: I literally can’t forget you. That’s how my immortality works.

Sky and Kara hugged each other.

Sky: Are you sure you’ll be alright?

Kara: Earth was getting boring anyway.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Freya: There was once an idea to bring together a group of people, people just like you or I. Except well...we aren’t people.

The Sentinels walked out of a restaurant. Looking throughout the city.

Freya: People like us don’t lead normal lives. Because it’s our job to protect normal lives. No matter the cost.

They saw tons of portals opening up around the city.

Freya: A demon, an immortal, a meta, a couple olympian gods, and a couple disturbed humans.

Freya, Sky, Nox, Atalanta, Hunter and Cancer stood next to each other. Preparing their weapons.

Freya: Most gods aren’t good people.

A man walked out of a portal, smiling. He had blonde hair and green eyes. He was very muscular. A green aura surrounded the man.

Freya: But others can be.

Kara was flying through space, looking after the people she let out of the cages.

Freya: Even though the god we looked up to died, A team will always have it’s core. No matter what.

End.
