The Adventures of Hero-Man Season 2 Episodes

Here is the list of Season 2 Episodes from "The Adventures of Hero-Man". Season 1's "Movie" had ended with Lord Skarn, the Repscallian from Nashar, and leader of the Repscallian Army, arose from the Stasis Chamber that Dr. Julius Servo had placed him in. As Skarn used the Void Portal Generator that Servo had once used, he opened a connection to the Portal Generator he had stolen years earlier, still on Nashar. Commander Cazz arrived soon on Earth, and brought the first batch of cloned Repscallian Drones. Hero-Man and Sidekick Kid, who'd just begun to recover from the events involving the Un-Good Gang, were unaware of what was happening.

The AGENCY, who's Director had given Agent 58 a direct assignment to investigate the sightings of Kid Shadow/Sidekick Kid, and other mysteries that would come to pass as Season 2 began, would become an integral part of the Season. Void Portals, a common element in the EC Universe began to open, and characters like Yash-Ti and Frostbite made their way from Nashar. Meanwhile, Hammond Magnus' girlfriend, Angel Stargazer debuted, as she remained in meditation in Void Haven. Plus Mutaform, a Duploid ally of Maximus and Sybella Magnus, Hammond's parents, made his presence known.

Season 2 started based around Sidekick Kid's past, as he recalled his former life, and memories from Nashar, fighting Lord Skarn--to becoming Kid Shadow. But as the Season progressed, Hero-Man's backstory became a central plotline as well. References to the "Hero-Man Adventures" storyline also were integrated into the story, as the "retconned" canon became the new origins for Hero-Man/Hammond Magnus.

### **The Repscallian Invasion**

The Beginning of Season 2 was heavily based around the **Repscallians**, **Lord Skarn**, and Sidekick Kid's past connections to his home world of Nashar. In the years leading up to the events that sent Pico Bellamere/Sidekick Kid to Earth, the Iglesian Order of Planets had been been at war between the Repscallian Army, a rebellious faction of a lower-caste feral slave reptillian species, the Repscallians of Nashar. Though their ancestors shared a lineage going back millennia to the world of T'Roa, they had soon been labeled an outcast species throughout the populated worlds in the Iglesian Order, becoming nothing more than slaves. This was the way, until Skarn, an outcast to the House of Bellamere. He had spent years in the Nasharian mountains, after being banned by Erisan, Monarch of Nashar, and father of Pico Bellamere. In his time in exile, Skarn used passageways and hidden catacombs to discover the Nasharian Reliquary. Doing so he discovered ancient texts and books on the House of Bellamere, and used knowledge to soon lead the first insurrection of the Repscallian slaves.

As the House of Bellamere, defended by the Nasharian Royal Guard, and a fleet of Octembrian and Nasharian ships to defend the sacred Regal City, a young Pico was eager to fight. But his parents, father, the Monarch Erisan, and his wife Pralana, had Yash-Ti and several others protect their son, a mere teenager. As the Repscallians, led by Skarn, stormed through the once-beautiful Regal City, home of 11 million Nasharians and other free peoples, all was doomed for Nashar. Yash-Ti, fighting back alongside the Guards, but Skarn raised his axe, knocking Yash-Ti down, nearly killing him. Pico, who'd been taken away for protection by 4 armed soldiers, soon picked up a blaster and took up the defense as well. Getting sliced by a Repscallian's claws, his left eye was severely damaged. He then fought back, but was instructed to retreat to the cellar.

Pico knew, as he saw a large explosion coming from the Throne Room, that his parents were gone--murdered by Skarn and his Army. Skarn, giving himself the title of "Lord" soon located the Void Portal Generator, the Bellamere Monarchy had hidden for decades, and knew he could use it for his own gain. He soon used it to spread his Army across the entire Order. Yash-Ti, who awoke, saw his friends, Pico's parents, were dead--killed by the Axe of Skarn. After taking out a few stray Repscallians, he found Pico, who had been hiding, and told him they needed to hide. Pico didn't even need to ask, as he could sense his parents were gone.

Yash led Pico, as well as whoever was left, to a small encampment miles away in the Dunes. It was here that Yash-Ti took it upon himself to train the last Bellamere, and keep him safe. It was during this time that Yash-Ti got caught by a small faction of Repscallians. He was captured and brought to Skarn, who had began to amass a fleet of stolen ships, with his newly ranked commander, Cazz, in charge of the invasion of the rest of the Iglesian Order. Yash was tortured and soon had a device implanted in his skull. He soon was freed, and returned to where Pico was, but he had direct orders to kill the last Bellamere, which he didn't carry out.

As Pico grew older, he soon worked alongside other Nasharian and Hetalian survivors, and on one mission to Skarn's rebuilt Citadel, Pico saw Yash's tattered scarf. Fearing his mentor's death, Pico tracked Skarn down, and confronted him. Soon after a fight that led to Pico nearly losing his left arm, and Skarn suffering internal wounds, Skarn fled through a generated Void Portal. Pico followed soon after, arriving in The City.

The Repscallian Invasion was about to begin, this time on Earth.

#### **Episode 16: "Beginning the Past"(Season 2 Premiere)**

As the Heroes recovered from defeating the **Un-Good Gang**, a new villain had emerged from his Stasis Chamber. **Lord Skarn**, leader of the **Repscallian Army of Nashar**--a rebel faction that had rose up and soon nearly destroyed all of Nashar, Sidekick Kid's home world. As the Repscallians grew in power, Lord Skarn amassed a great amount of stolen technology from across the Iglesian Order of Planets. Skarn, still weak, sent a pair of his cloned Repscallian drones into the City. Hero-Man and Sidekick Kid, who'd been surveying from the rooftops, spotted a signal on the Hero-Pad and the pair swooped down to meet the first wave in a new invading force.

The pair of Repscallian drones fired at the Heroic Combo, who quickly fought back. It didn't take much effort, as Sidekick Kid had rebuilt his robotic arm with several new functions. As the drones were defeated, Sidekick Kid had a flash of a memory of his life on **Nashar**. Before he lost his left hand and arm, and before he became Kid Shadow. Trying to recall more of his past was still difficult. Trying to help his friend, the two hit the Taco Kingdom drive-thru, and headed back to the Hero-Cave. Agent 58 watched from afar, seeing the pair of new reptilian aliens. Taking a reading, he determined traces of un-Earthly origin, so he contacted the Director. The Director was unaware of the new alien threat--but was still not certain if Sidekick Kid was to be trusted.

#### **Episode 17: "The Repscallians"**

Arriving back in the Hero-Cave, with evidence from the Repscallian attack, Hero-Man was able to determine the pair were extraterrestrial, but from no known source on the Hero-Computer. Sidekick Kid was remembering more, and had a brief recollection of Lord Skarn, but his memories were still damaged from a combination of the Nasharian Wars, as well from what Dr. Servo had done to him. Meanwhile on the Outskirts, inside the former "Fortress(of Bad Things)", Commander Cazz, who'd been brought to the City, via the Portal Generator, reported that Dr. Servo had indeed been defeated. Skarn, aware that his savior was gone, knew that his chance to pick up where Servo left off was now. With more drones were being readied, Skarn ordered Cazz to return to the City, to strike once more. Hero-Man and Sidekick Kid, who were back on patrol, spotted the scaly snake, and readied to take down this new foe.

Agent 72, who'd been assigned to assist Agent 58, at the orders of the Director, began to investigate the evidence gathered from the pair of Repscallian drones that had been defeated. Deciphering a primitive dialect that seemed similar to one found in the AGENCY Archives, connecting to the world of T'Roa, Agent 72 reported as such to 58, who contacted the Director.

#### **Episode 18: "Cazz Strikes"**

Hero-Man and Sidekick Kid found themselves face-to-fang against Commander Cazz, who had a pair of Repscallian Drones under his command. Being questioned by Sidekick Kid, Cazz introduced himself then ordered the attack. Not taking long to take out the drones, Hero-Man and Sidekick Kid cornered Cazz, who teleported away back to Skarn's rebuilt Fortress(formerly Dr. Servo's).Soon the Heroes headed back to the Hero-Cave, where **Bellington** brought "*Master Sidekid*" more nacho cheese. Hero-Man was busy, as they began to investigate into the evidence left behind, by the Repscallians. But the Hero-Computer nor Hero-Satellite could come up with anything substantial. It was when Hero-Man, who'd sensed Sidekick Kid may have an answer, that he asked if the Nasharian(whom Hero-Man knew little about before they met, except for the Kid Shadow persona), if he knew anything.

Sidekick Kid had another flashback from his past on Nashar, as he confronted Skarn's original rebellion, when the feral and pureblood Repscallians were destroying his Home World of Nashar, and a young Pico Bellamere was fighting with the Nasharian Legion. Flashing back to reality, Sidekick Kid had answers to some of Hero-Man's inquiries, but still had many gaps in his memory. While the Heroic Combo tried to figure things out, Lord Skarn, who was nearly finished recovering from the chemicals that Servo had used to restore him, was told by Commander Cazz about the new enemies standing in his way of another round of Global Domination. Skarn instantly knew who it was, Pico Bellamere.

#### **Christmas Special #3(2014): "Season's Cluck'ing!"**

Christmas fell again in the City, as Hero-Man and Sidekick Kid tried to take a break for the Holiday, but it didn't take long for the latest wanna-be Santa to show up and attempt to steal all the goodies they could. As Big Cluck returned, this time posing as that "Jolly Ol' Elf", his Egg Troops all-weathered-up, the Hero-Computer scanners picked up the "peck'ish imposter" and it was another Christmas caper to be foiled. Arriving in the Hero-Sled, the Heroic Combo were ready to "Give" their present to *Santa Cluck* and save the Holiday. It was a quick "dashing IN the Snow", with Santa Cluck's Egg Troops cracked thanks to the Hero-Hammer(formerly Ban Hammer), and Sidekick Kid's "Hot Sauce" arm blaster. Now alone, the no-longer-jolly wannabe was "wrapped" up for Christmas.

Following another Holiday being saved, the Heroes returned to the Hero-Cave to finish their festivities. Back at the scene of the crime, The SOCIETY's **Shadow Operatives** arrived, via a Void Portal. They took Big Cluck, unwrapped, back to the **Controller**(Kasmos of Atlantis). Growing tired of the feathered-failure, he order a portal to be opened, and randomly send Big Cluck across the universe to the world of Tolar.

**Episode 19: "Nashar"**

With things in the City sparking memories of Sidekick Kid's past, he reflects on the last days he spent on his distant home of Nashar. It had been years since the destruction that **Lord Skarn** and his rebellious insurrection brought across the **Iglesian Order of Planets**. Of the 14 worlds in the Order, Nashar was hit the hardest. During Skarn's ruthless raid on the **Regal City**, where the **House of Bellamere** had ruled, peacefully(seemingly) for centuries, few had survived, including an injured **Pico Bellamere**, and his father's former guard, and friend, Yash-Ti. Sidekick Kid's memory flashed back to shortly after he'd lost the vision in his left eye, and was going through training with his new boomerang, that Yash had given him. With patience, the young Pico was able to hit the target with his eyes closed, after Yash's instructions to concentrate. As the memories faded, Sidekick Kid felt the rage inside of him boiling once more. He wanted vengeance against Skarn, and swooped down to his **Sidekick Cycle**, speeding off to track down any and all Repscallians.

In the AGENCY, **Agent 58** had nearly finished searching through the archives on files pertaining to recent alien activity. He then found a connection to Void Portals, and was able to piece more connecting the alien invasion to the surge of portal activity over the last few weeks, as well as tracing old records back to years past. This led to recovering old files on **Dr. Servo** and the **Un-Good Gang**, particularly the former alter-ego of **Sidekick Kid**.

#### **Episode 20: "An Invasion of the Repscallian Kind!"**

As Sidekick Kid sped through the City on his Sidekick Cycle, he was contacted by Hero-Man, who had been tracking down the cycle on the Hero-Computer. Asking what was going on, Hero-Man was amazed when Sidekick Kid told him he remembered it all now, and told his ally what was going on. Hero-Man tried to get Sidekick to slow down and return to the Hero-Cave, but he ended the communication signal, and sped off again. Soon, he spotted a familiar rattling reptile, and lept off his Cycle, punching one of Cazz's contingent of Drones, and readied to take down the slithery snake himself. But before he could attack, Cazz blasted Sidekick with his lazer eye, and knocked him out. Shortly after Cazz and the remaining drones moved onto their next target. Hero-Man arrived, moments later, and saw his friend was coming-to. He asked Sidekick Kid what happened, and Sidekick Kid began to recount the events of the Nasharian Wars.

In an empty corner of the City, a **Void Portal** opened up. On the other side, across the stars, the **Hetalian Darksider Militia** had seized control of a rebuilt Portal Generator. In command of the unit was **Yash-Ti**, honorarily ranked as a Lieutenant, as he'd served loyally against Skarn and the Repscallians for years. Volunteering, he agreed to head into the Portal, as coordinates had been set to arrive in the same location as Pico Bellamere. As he approached the portal, **Frostbite**, a brash fighter in the Militia, who'd discovered Yash's true intentions, waited for Yash to enter the portal. As Yash exited the portal, he arrived in the City and began to track down Pico.

#### **Episode 21: "A Past Soon Forgotten..."**

Sitting in solitude in the Hero-Cave, **Pico Bellamere**'s last memories on Nashar came back to him like a freight train. The nightmare he had endured through the years seeing his parents and family killed by the insurrection of Repscallian slaves-turned-hellish army, and the despotic Lord Skarn leading the way, had re-entered his mind. Recalling the events in which he found the nearly-lifeless body of his friend and mentor, Yash-Ti, who he believed to be dead in the last wave of attack, Pico Bellamere grabbed the tattered remains of Yash's scarf, and held it tight. He then remembered finding Skarn in the **Control Chamber**, the room where a **Void Portal Generator** was kept, locked away. Pico caught Skarn, and then the memories ended. Opening his eyes, back in the Hero-Cave, Sidekick Kid, still recovering from all he'd endured, saw Hero-Man enter. The two then realized the connections between Skarn and his "savior", the defeated Dr. Servo, and the location all things led back to--the **Fortress**.

In his rebuilt Fortress, Lord Skarn had a recollection of his last moments before he was saved by Servo. Having suffered a near-fatal wound from his fight with Pico Bellamere, Skarn entered the activated and set Portal Generator, arriving on the other side where he saw Servo and Ice-Guy. The two placed the wounded Repscallian in a Stasis Chamber, and did all they could to stabilize him before putting him in suspended animation. As Skarn recalled these moments, he now knew that the fates had been set, and he would track down his fellow Nasharian, and fellow member of the House of Bellamere. Back in the City, Agent 58 was in his office at the AGENCY when he finally uncovered the truth, connecting Kid Shadow and Sidekick Kid. He immediately contacted the Director, who gave 58 an order to track down the former Dark Assassin of Dr. Julius Bellington.

#### **Christmas Special #4(2015): "It's Better to Give...!"**

Christmas was the Season in the City again, and as the Heroic Combo looked to celebrate a peaceful Holiday, another blare of the Hero-Alarm meant the Tacos were likely going to get cold. Checking the monitor, they saw a Robotic Santa was doing what a Robotic Santa does--NOT deliver presents. Taking the Hero-Mobile and Sidekick Cycle respectively, they arrived and saw the **Santa-Bot**. With no signs of a (Ice)-Guy in control, the Heroes didn't waste time. With a Hero-Hammer smashing, the Santa-Bot was beheaded, and to the Heroes' surprise the **Twins** popped out. To the Twins surprise, they were offered a large Christmas present, but opening it up, they saw it was empty--or was. With a quick wrap-up, the Heroic-Combo boxed-up the Twins, and saved another Christmas.

Meanwhile, as Lord Skarn was hating the cold, cold snow, Commander Cazz interrupted his Grinch-like mood, to report that the Repscallian drones were outside playing in the snow. Soon after the events of this "once-again-saved" Holiday, the AGENCY showed up to apprehend the Twins, and take them back to the Holding Cells in a hidden AGENCY location. Agent 33, who'd been assigned, was unaware that the Twins would soon escape with the help of a stolen Portal Generator, they were sent across the universe.

#### **Episode 22: "The Sidekick"**

Another year beginning in the City, and the Heroic-Combo was quick to return back to the investigation of the Repscallians of Nashar, and Lord Skarn. Sidekick Kid had fully accepted the past, but knew that if given a chance he would destroy Skarn, and any other Repscallians he came across. As he and Hero-Man were on their Rooftop perch, a signal was detected by the Hero-Pad's scanners. The signal matched the same Portal frequency as the one that had brought Pico Bellamere, years earlier. Locating the source of the signal, they met a new face--Yash-Ti. Sidekick Kid immediately recognized his former friend and mentor, but was amazed that he had survived all these years. But Yash-Ti was there for any good reasons, as he drew his blaster and fired at the Heroes. Hero-Man, not hesitant, kicked Yash to the ground. The Heroes questioned Yash-Ti loyalty, as he was now working for Lord Skarn, but he quickly was teleported back to Skarn's Fortress.

Meanwhile in the AGENCY Lab, Agent 58 was scanning some recently collected evidence from the Repscallians latest crimes, as he looked through files on H.E.R.O. He was investigating through old physical documents on H.E.R.O, when he discovered files on a young Hammond Magnus. As he dove deeper he connected Hammond Magnus-to-Hero-Man, realizing they were one and the same. This helped him figure out that the possible threat of Sidekick Kid(formerly Kid Shadow) may be worth giving a second glance.

### **The Path of Heroes**

The second half of the second season introduced many new characters, and expanded the series from a once-linear storyline, into numerous characters' individual storylines. Sidekick Kid's memories of his past had returned fully, but the origins of Hero-Man's past soon came to light, as did his new persona--Hammond Magnus. His parents, Maximus and Sybella had been nearly killed by their former ally, Neuro-Hawk, but were sent to Void Haven by Lord Vidé, who would later be revealed as Hero-Man's maternal Grandfather. While their other ally, the Duploid Mutaform soon came out from the shadows. Hammond Magnus' past, which also involved his girlfriend, Angel Stargazer, who had become the reincarnation of her Great-Grandmother, the Goddess of Light, Luxia, and her Flamium Aura, would become Firegazer as she spent the last several years in Void Haven herself. Plus a new ally from the Iglesian Order world of Hetalia, Frostbite, a Darksider, who had tracked down the apparent "traitor" Yash-Ti, showed up and joined the fight against Skarn.

The storyline also turned more towards connections between Ancient Atlantis, where Hero-Man's Grandfather(Vidé), once known as Alexios Chronos, and mother Sybella Chronos-Magnus, were originally born, thousands of years earlier. Alexios would discover the roots of the connections between worlds such as Craxia, T'Roa, and the Realm of Light--which would be the eventual basis for the AGENCY's Archives. These Archives and the more recent findings in the City by Agents 58 and 33, with "cryptic" help from the Director, Angel's Grandfather, Vezek Stargazer, would lead to more information coming to light. More connections would soon become part of the series in the second half of Season 2--two huge ones were the full introduction of Void Portals and Mercenary Hive technology.

As Season 2 wound down, all points met at a head, and Lord Skarn proved his plan would not be defeated. But the new band of allies, with help from Vidé and the AGENCY would slowly prepare for that final battle.

#### **Episode 23: "Hammond and Pico"**

Returning to the City streets, the Heroes were using the Hero-Mobile's Hero-Satellite link to scan for more signs of the Repscallians. As the two get to talking about Nashar and Sidekick's past, centering around his parents that were killed in the attack on the Regal City, Hero-Man began to wonder about his own past. The scans weren't coming up with much, so they returned to the Hero-Cave. While Sidekick Kid enjoyed a Taco Sub from Taco Kingdom, Hero-Man was in his Reliquary, looking over the past items he'd collected from some of the foes he and Sidekick had defeated--including the head from a Hack-Bot, Captain Patches hook, as well as the "Power Cube" that had changed Hammond Magnus into Hero-Man. But one specific item was always on display, a framed photo of Angel Stargazer, the woman he'd watched enter a Void Portal years earlier, after she'd first felt the inner-Flamium Aura she was destined to receive from her Great-Grandmother, Luxia.

Reminiscing on his past, Hero-Man recalled the day he'd taken the photo. It was the last day he and Angel had spent together. It was a bittersweet memory, as literally hours after the day they spent, Angel was kidnapped by Neuro-Hawk's drones, and Destiny was put into play. A tear fell from his eye as the memory faded, but deep inside the sadness still lingered. Sidekick Kid saw the sadness, but before he could ask anymore questions, the Hero-Cave's alarm blared. On the monitor Lord Skarn had been caught in the City, fully ready to prove his strength. Refueled with anger, Sidekick Kid hopped on his Cycle, and took off before he could come up with a plan.

#### **Episode 24: "Lord Skarn of the Repscallian Army of Nashar"**

Speeding once more on the Sidekick Cycle, the son of Erisan and Pralana Bellamere, now fighting against evil as Sidekick Kid, rushed to the exact coordinates that Lord Skarn, the traitorous outcast of the Bellamere lineage, and leader of the Repscallian Insurrection of Nashar. Arriving, Sidekick stared face-to-face with the man who killed his parents, the Monarchs of Nashar. Aiming his retrofitted Arm Blaster at Skarn, he fired, merely grazing the armor of his sworn enemy. Skarn, threatening to send Pico Bellamere to join his ancestors in the Nasharian Afterlife, withdrew the very Axe he'd used years ago on Nashar, and fled via teleporter back to his Fortress. While Sidekick Kid felt the rage boiling over, Hero-Man was in the Hero-Mobile, tracking down the enraged Nasharian, when he literally ran into Cazz, who was finishing he latest mission with a contingent of Drones.

Not holding in anything back, Hero-Man lept, and kicked Cazz to the ground. As he looked down at the defeated Commander, he heard someone approaching him. It was Agent 58, who had determined more on who Hero-Man was. 58 handed Hero-Man a USB Flash Drive, then disappeared back into the shadows. As Hero-Man headed back to the Hero-Cave, he remained confused by the mysterious encounter with the trenchcoat-wearing man. Moments after the Hero-Mobile had left the scene, Yash-Ti appeared, spotting Cazz, who still lay unconscious. But before he could finish what Hero-Man had started, a new figure popped out from behind Yash, and aimed a blaster at the former Bounty Hunter-slash-Traitor to Nashar.

#### **Episode 25:"Piece-by-Piece"**

Rejoining each other back in the Hero-Cave, the Heroes noticed Bellington hadn't been seen for a few days. Wondering where he was, they found an envelope, addressed to them both, from the butler who had proudly served Maximus and Sybella, and their son Hammond for many years. Telling them a huge, hidden truth that he'd kept secret for years, Bellington explained that he was in fact the father of Julius Bellington--a.k.a. Dr. Servo. The revelation rocked them both, as photos of (James) Bellington and his young son, and one of Julius just as he joined the AGENCY as Agent 24, showed proof--more so Sidekick Kid, who's whole world was turned upside down with such news. As Sidekick Kid recovered in the way he knew best---Tacos---Hero-Man uploaded the USB Drive's files, and saw it was the old H.E.R.O. Database. After accessing the program, he found images of his mother and father--as well as ones of Mutaform, and Neuro-Hawk. The latter's image sent him back to that fateful day, hours before Angel Stargazer had been kidnapped.

But before anything could be discussed further, the Hero-Alarm blared once more, as Yash-Ti had been detected in the City streets. Yash had been facing off with Frostbite, who'd followed Yash weeks earlier, as he revealed the hidden truth Yash-Ti had tried to hide from the Nasharian and Hetalian Armies. Knowing Yash-Ti likely had a trick, or two up his sleeve, Frostbite wasn't going to pull any punches. Soon, the Repscallian Drones that had been aiding Commander Cazz appeared, giving Yash-Ti the means to retreat back to the Fortress, where Skarn was irate for the failure. All the while, Agent 58 was watching the pair of potentially-dangerous alien invaders face off. Keeping tabs on them, he soon began to scan the vicinity for any signs of a Void Portal frequency.

#### **Episode 26: "Frost and Fire"**

Soon arriving on the Rooftops, Hero-Man and Sidekick Kid spotted the Darksider from Hetalia, and helped take down the rest of Commander Cazz's contingent of Repscallian Drones. Once all had settled, but Cazz had slithered away during the battle. Frostbite, introducing himself, soon recognized Sidekick Kid, who finally revealed his real name to Hero-Man. Frostbite knew that he could trust a Bellamere, as well as the titular character. Knowing the alien energy source would be easy to locate, Hero-Man scanned the City, when he spotted a clear signal coming from outside the City, once more. Meanwhile, Agent 58, who was still watching, seeing the new alien "threat" meeting the former Kid Shadow, along with Hammond Magnus.

It was then, that the lone remaining member of H.E.R.O., the Duploid known as Mutaform, appeared to Agent 58. Knowing full-well who the other was, Mutaform reassured Agent 58 that the "Nasharian" wasn't a threat. He then shape-shifted to look like the real threat to the City that Agent 58 needed to retrace the satellites and databases for--the Repscallians, as he then shifted to turn into a Repscallian. He then teleported, leaving the confused, but somewhat more reassured Agent 58. The Agent then contacted the Director, knowing they had a new direction to go in the investigation. In another plane of existence, Void Haven--Angel Stargazer, who'd spent no elapsed time outside of the space-time continuum, was meditating to achieve clarity on her Destiny, had a vision of Hammond Magnus. But as the Vision got darker, she sensed Hammond was in terrible danger.

#### **Episode 27: "Unveiling Alliances"**

Hero-Man, Sidekick Kid and Frostbite arrived at the source of the alien signal, finding themselves on the Outskirts, where the former Fortress of Dr. Servo/current Fortress of Lord Skarn was somehow invisible. After Frostbite explained the some of the technology from Octembris, one of the Iglesian Order worlds, that Skarn had stolen during his near-annihilation of numerous worlds, including Nashar and Hetalia, it seemed clear as to what Skarn had been doing all while hiding in "plain sight" since his return, including the stolen Void Portal Technology. It was then that Sidekick Kid recounted a memory, as he too had been brought to Earth through a portal--then captured by members of the Un-Good Gang, and soon after corrupted by Darkness to become Kid Shadow. In the flashback, Dr. Servo's assistant and fellow scientist had been scanning the Void Portal system for traces of useful technology, including a scan from the Salzair System that showed a Mercenary Drone. Soon, Hero-Man had his own flashback, of the last minutes he spent with Angel Stargazer. In Haven, Angel shared the same vision--feeling psychically linked to Hammond Magnus still, years later in reality, yet no time had passed for her.

While the trio of allies searched around, Skarn, hidden through a cloaking energy shield, looked at a monitor showing his enemies. He ordered Cazz to shut down the Portal Generator, as the additional threat of Frostbite angered him, affecting his goal. Yash-Ti, who was still under Skarn's control, threatened to kill Cazz, but as he drew his dagger, he was shocked by his implant, and dropped the weapon. Cazz tried explaining to Skarn that the remaining Repscallian clones were losing genetic strength. Unaware of one specific drone, Skarn suddenly witnessed as Mutaform, who'd struggled to maintain the shape of one of Skarn's soldiers lost control. Mutaform, not fearing Skarn despite being caught, warned the Repscallian leader to be careful, then used his transporter implant to beam away. Feeling betrayed, Skarn angrily commanded Cazz to fully open the Portal Frequency, despite the potential hazards or consequences. All Skarn was concerned with was enacting the very power he used years earlier to overthrow the Nasharian Monarchy and reclaim his heritage as a member of the House of Bellamere.

#### **Christmas Special #5(2018): "A Vision of Christmas Future"**

A long overdue Holiday swept across the City, Hero-Man was back in the Hero-Cave as Sidekick Kid and Frostbite were multi-tasking--Christmas Shopping, and Taco Buying. Taking a day off wasn't common for Hero-Man, who was looking at some old photos of his last Christmas with Angel Stargazer, months before things began to change in both of their lives. As he suddenly felt his connection to Angel, she was in Haven--and the two shared a vision of a Christmas in the near-future. In it, it had been months since the newly formed H.E.R.O. 2.0 had been victorious in the Invasion of the Darkness. As they all readied for a Christmas, Hero-Man and Firegazer(Angel's flamium persona/inheritance from Luxia), were in need of a babysitter for their son, Maxwell Jason Magnus. Volunteering, with little experience with human children, and a bad track record keeping tabs on little Max, were Max's Uncle Pico(Sidekick Kid) and Frostbite, who during the long-lasting battle had lost his right arm. Leaving Max in their somewhat capable hands, even after Max tried burning Sidekick Kid's bandanna, Hero and Firegazer headed into the City.

Meanwhile, a pair of elv'ish crooks were pilfering a jewelry store, when the alarm sounded. But before the crooks could book, Hero-Man and Firegazer caught them. Knowing they were beat, and fearing the fire of the Flamium reincarnated, Firegazer--the elves tried their best to barter, but a Hero-Hammer bonk took out one elf, while the other got a Flamium warning shot, and fled. It was then Firegazer had a vision. The peculiar nature of the vision was it was of her in Haven, in the present timeline, seeing the future vision in which Hero-Man and Firegazer fought the elves. But before Hero-Man could help her establish anything about the looping paradoxical vision, it donned on them that Sidekick Kid and Frostbite were still babysitting little Max, and the two were more worried about their friends, and headed back to the Hero-Cave. As the vision the two shared across space-and-time, Hammond and Angel wished each other a Merry Christmas.

#### **Episode 28: "The Last Bellamere"**

Back on patrol, Hero-Man and Sidekick Kid were on the Rooftops, when Frostbite asked how long Hero had known Pico Bellamere. Remembering his first encounter, with the then Kid Shadow, Hero-Man was still in amazement at his best friend/partner-in-crime fighting really was. As Frostbite explained more about Sidekick Kid's true destiny, the Hero-Pad picked up another Repscallian presence. The pair headed down to where a pair of Repscallian Drones, led by Commander Cazz were once again under Skarn's orders--to distract the Heroes, so he could achieve his own Destiny. Mutaform, hiding in the shadows, watched as his former allies' Son was doing what would've made Maximus and Sybella proud. But feeling the effects of all the experimentation he'd undergone from Neuro-Hawk, and the amount of stolen alien tech, including several pieces of Mercenary tech he'd stolen or acquired, was having more difficulty holding a shifted-shape. Knowing he needed Merc tech, he had to regain strength so he could tell Hammond Magnus what he knew about Skarn, and much more.

On the Outskirts, inside Skarn's Fortress, the self-proclaimed "Last Bellamere", Lord Skarn, had found the Ancient Nasharian text on the Bellamere Lineage that he had brought with him upon fleeing through the Void Portal. Knowing the passage by heart, and after using the Portal to return to Nashar days earlier--to bring back one of the Mythical "**Staffs of Power**"--the **Bolarian Staff**--which was forged 11 Millennia ago for the ruling class on Nashar. Skarn then activated the Portal Generator, and arrived back in his rebuilt Citadel on Nashar. As the cloaking field was still hiding the true location of the Fortress. Sidekick Kid had returned on his Cycle, but instead of any trace of Skarn or the Repscallians, he found the tattered banner of the House of Bellamere--the same banner he had hanging in the tent he slept in, years earlier in the Nasharian Desert. Picking it up, he knew Yash-Ti was still alive. The Sidekick Cycle began to pick up a signal from a faded frequency, it was Yash, who mentioned the Salzair System, and hinted at Merc technology. Hearing his mentor's voice, Sidekick knew he was close. Suddenly Yash appeared from through the field, and surprised Sidekick Kid. Seeing his former mentor and friend, Sidekick Kid recalled something about Dr. Servo, but before he could piece more together, Yash-Ti drew his blaster and aimed it at the true Last Bellamere. Back in the City, Agent 58 began to finally piece together more of the mystery that connected the Heroes and the fate that was foretold Millennia earlier in Ancient Atlantis.

#### **Episode 29: "The Destiny of Heroes"**

Years before the "Lost City" of Atlantis was destroyed, through no natural event, but an invasion from a Mysterious alien invasion, a single Archivist--Alexios, one of the son's of Chronos, the God of Time, was deciphering the ancient texts that connected his own legacy. His daughter, Sybella(future mother of Hammond Magnus) was destined to lead her unborn son to a greater Destiny. As he learned more of the connections between the "Elemental Symbioses", his friend and student, Kasmos arrived. Alexios had discovered more passaged connecting to the Realm of Light, and the world of T'Roa. As time passed, this fate came closer and closer. Fast-Forward to the City, Millennia later, and Hero-Man was fighting off Commander Cazz, as he and Frostbite had taken out the last of the Drones. Frostbite then finished off the fight by knocking out Cazz. Suddenly Sidekick Kid contacted them, telling them he had crossed paths with Yash-Ti. In an alley a few meters away, Mutaform, shifted to look human, was feeling the implants being rejected. Agent 58 had detected him, and before he could get much information, Mutaform passed out.

Back in the Hero-Cave, as Hero-Man was searching through the H.E.R.O Database, when he had a sudden vision again. It wasn't a flashback, yet it took place just outside the park where Angel Stargazer and He had spent their last day together. Angel had been able to use this as a source to speak directly to Hero-Man. She explained the Destiny they shared was approaching. Mentioning Hero-Man's Grandfather briefly, she told him that they would meet on a distant world. As the vision broke, a sudden incoming communication was picked up. Captain Rahz Vin, a Tolarian Cargo Hauler and former Merc Drone, had contacted on an open frequency anyone who picked it up. After identifying himself, he explained there had been a strange energy reading, coming from the vicinity of Skarn's Fortress(though not directly identified). After realizing there was strong interference, which affected the communication--Rahz warned Hero-Man and Frostbite of the oncoming Darkness. Before more could be asked, the communication cut-out. Seeing a former Merc brought back memories of Frostbite's, as he had fought against Drone #0001 and a Merc Army that had invaded the Iglesian Order years early. Recalling files in the H.E.R.O Database, Hero-Man punched up an image of the Merc Drone that had been recovered in Roswell, New Mexico back in 1947. The Agent who'd worked on the file was none other than former Agent 24, Dr. Julius Bellington(Servo)--which was verified as Hero-Man saw the image of the man who'd turned Pico Bellamere into Kid Shadow. Moments later, Sidekick Kid returned, and began to recount the details he now fully knew about Skarn's Final Plan. While this was all happening, bringing many Destinies towards their next step, Angel Stargazer was in Void Haven, when Lord Vidé appeared. Knowing it was time to fulfill her Destiny, Angel Stargazer used her mastered Flamium powers to summon a sphere of fire. As she emerged, she had finally become Firegazer. Back in the City, Agent 33 was in the field, in the alleyway behind The Inner Void bookstore, when he spotted a closing Void Portal, and a small piece of technology having dropped from the portal--a piece of Merc Tech.

#### **Episode 30: "The Iglesian Order"(Season 2 Finale)**

As Season 2 reached it's episodic end, the multiple characters, new and old, as well as the various plots and storylines, were all merged into one grand finale. Foretold by the Ancient texts from across the Realm of Light, the Salzair, Tolarian and Harznian Systems, as well as the Iglesian Order of Worlds, the Light was to reach it's utmost power, in order to be able to defeat the return of the Darkness. But the powers of Light would have to wait, as an Octembrian Scout Ship had arrived in orbit of Earth, having tracked down Lord Skarn finally, only to lose signal of him as a Void Portal frequency had been picked up by their sensors as well. Commander Bralik, who's father, Senator Orin had been playing both sides of the same battle, was trying to reach the planet below. Launching a satellite, they locked on with a communication channel. Below on Earth, in the Hero-Cave, a mysterious signal was picked up by the Hero-Satellite. Frostbite recognized it as being an Octembrian signal, and they were able to get a semi-clear visual message. Interference interrupted it, and they had to settle for an audio message. Commander Bralik explained to those who heard, that Skarn had been "defeated" and retreated, though there was no established reason they could determine. The news was a great, but short-lived highlight, realizing that Skarn still had enough soldiers to still start another war. When suddenly Yash-Ti appeared, having escaped Skarn's control, but suffering a venomous bite from Commander Cazz. He soon succumbed to his wounds, and passed out.

On the world of Craxia, a pair of Merc Drones from one of the Harznian Contigents were in a cave of Terrylium Carbonide, when a Void Portal appeared. Detecting it, they witness the emergence of Firegazer. Seeing the drones, and being threatened to be assimilated, Firegazer, feeling the crystal source that all Flamiums receive their energy from, summoned her inner-Aura and engulfed one of the drones. Sensing "imminent danger" the other Drone activated his transporter implant and fled. Alone now, feeling the connection to the Flamestone's home world, Firegazer saw an image of Lord Vidé appear to further guide her. He then told her that the next portal, he soon opened, would send her to meet Hammond Magnus.

Back in the City, Agent 58 was in charge of a team, including Agents 29 and 72, as he had a team of AGENCY scientists brought in from the London offices. 58, who'd been looking at files on his missing uncle, Irving J. Keller, closed out the file as he searched once again in the H.E.R.O files. Going over his past work, on Hammond Magnus' parents, Agent 33 entered after meeting with the Director. 33 wanted an update on the location on whether or not 58 had found the source of the energy surges and more signals, including the Octembrian and Tolarian communications--Located under the dilapidated Magnus Hall. Agent 33 then recounted part of his meeting with the Director, and handed 58 a file folder on the Magnus Lineage tracing back to T'Roa, and the connections that gave more clarity. While the Agents continued, Mutaform awoke after the London office's Bio-Tech team had used modified Merc implants to stabilize the Duploid. Agent 72, who was working on a special assignment connected to Operation SHADE was about to assist Mutaform, when the Director paged him. Asking if Agent 29 could take over, 72 left. 29, who had assisted the Bio-Tech team, wasn't as up-to-date on the Duploid's genetics, told him he was stabilized. Meanwhile, 58 and 33 began to piece more together, determining the Mutaform's implants matched the recovered Merc tech Agent 33 had found in the alley, as well as the crash in Roswell over 70 years earlier. It was then that Mutaform, testing his restored abilities, grabbed an Agent's sunglasses, and shifted to hide his form, flawlessly. He then escaped the AGENCY, and fled using his functional transporter implant, arriving inside Magnus Hall.

In the Hero-Cave, Sidekick Kid, in vigil of a slowly recovering Yash-Ti, remembered the good Yash had did all those years ago. He knew of the crimes Yash was guilty of, but he also knew he wouldn't be alive if it hadn't been for Yash. Hero-Man, who'd been reflecting once again on his own past, speaking aloud to his parents, knowing they were safe in Haven, watching him. Frostbite, feeling empathic to his friends, told Hero-Man why he was fighting, and who he'd loss years earlier--his "*Pahrosa*", Taliana. Hero-Man then asked more about Frostbite's past, and what Yash-Ti did. As Frostbite was about to tell the truth, Sidekick Kid came over. Frostbite warned him about Yash-Ti's questionable allegiance, and how the Darkness may have corrupted him--but Sidekick Kid cut him off, knowing well about the Darkness from his days under Dr. Servo's control as Kid Shadow. He reminded Hero-Man, who recalled Rahz Vin's words, hours earlier. Yash, who'd awoke, got brought into the conversation, as they were all interrupted by Mutaform, who was shifted to look like an AGENCY Agent. He called Hero-Man by his real name, as he shifted back to his real form. Removing his glasses, he opened his fully healed left eye, for the first time in years. After explaining who he was, he handed Hero-Man an envelope with a Magnus Family Crest sealing it. Hero opened it, and saw the Atlantean Amulet that his mother, Sybella, had once worn years earlier. He immediately knew what it was, and as Mutaform explained more about it, and his parent's true fate, he somehow felt a connection to his Atlantean ancestry, and summoned a Void Portal. All were amazed as the portal opened, and after Mutaform explained that it would send them all towards their chosen paths, they entered it. Yash-Ti, who finally felt clarity, apologized to Frostbite, who reciprocated. Yash, followed by Frostbite soon entered the portal. Hero-Man, sensing Sidekick Kid's apprehension, watched as his friend entered. He then thanked Mutaform, who told him the Hero-Cave would be safe. Then Hero-Man, Hammond Magnus, half-Atlantean, half T'Roan, entered the Portal. As it disappeared, Mutaform remembered the Cave from years earlier, and then wondered where Bellington was.

The Void Portal opened on the world of Nashar, still badly damaged and irradiated by the endless Nasharian War, and as Hero-Man was the last to emerge, he saw is first alien world. Yash-Ti and Frostbite knew where they were, and were glad to be in their home System. Sidekick Kid, the last Bellamere, realized where he was, and shed a single tear. But they weren't the first to arrive on Nashar via a Void Portal. In his fully rebuilt and well-defended Citadel, Lord Skarn sat in his throne room as Senator Orin, the traitorous Octembrian, entered. He was happy for Skarn's return, as the remaining Repscallian Soldiers had been preparing for the last several years across the Iglesian Order. With over 50,000 Soldiers, Skarn had the force to keep anyone at bay. Orin, questioning the next move, as well as the status of the mostly-incompetent Commander Cazz, was shocked when Skarn was more than ready to end Cazz's life, and slowly begin the resurrection of his Army.
