Hush

My E-10 shit.

## 1x17

*[The episode begins within the confines of Storage G as we see chains shaking steadily. The Agent approaches one of them and began pulling on it, which opens the garage door of Storage G. Ethan is shown standing near the garage door with Sif and Cloud standing in front of him]*

**Ethan**: Alright, Sif, repeat what I just said.

**Sif**: Keep the city safe, clean up the place... and meet you at rendezvous.

**Ethan**: *(shakes head)*Nope, that wasn't it.

**Sif**: *(exhales; mockingly)* ...Train Cloud.

**Ethan**: Okay, we're clear on this. Me and Agent shouldn't take long and if your new satellite reading's correct, she should be at a remote location just east of Mexico.

**Agent**: *Should* be?

**Ethan**: She has to be. We don't have any other leads, Agent.

**Agent**: Look, you two, if a Lex Luthor looking fuck swings by here, tell him that it was Jose, not me.

*[The three turned their heads to face Agent and stared at him in confusion. There was a brief moment of awkward silence]*

**Agent**: Ethan, are we leaving or not?

**Ethan**: Oh, yeah...

*[Ethan and Agent walk out of Storage G as the garage door started to close slowly]*

**Ethan**: As I said you two, this shouldn't take long.

**Cloud**: That is almost certainly never true.

*[As the garage door closes, Ethan yells out...]*

**Ethan**: Remember, train Cloud!

*[Once they closed, Cloud had turned around to find Sif crossing his arms]*

**Sif**: Okay, "Cloud", cut the shit.

**Cloud**: What?

**Sif**: You can fool Ethan but you sure as shit can't fool me.

**Cloud**: Fool you with what?

**Sif**: For starters, your name.

**Cloud**: I reckon you're *not* gonna take 'Cloud Shadows' for an answer?

**Sif**: What do you take me for?

**Cloud**: *(awkward pause)* It's Alexander.

**Sif**: Okay, 'Alexander'. How did you get the superpowered poker set?

**Cloud**: It's... a bit of a long story. I will explain it to everyone, just not now.

*[Sif tapped the red circle of his bracelet as the Absolute Zero armor ran towards Sif and attached itself to him]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Ethan wanted me to train you and that's exactly what I'm gonna do, Alexander.

**Cloud**: Do you honestly think this is gonna be a chance for you to kick my ass?

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: *(chuckling)*I think I can do it with a weaker armor like this one. It's more of a fair fight without Sonic Boom or Fireworks.

*[Cloud rolled his eyes and walked towards a chain, pulling it. The lights of Storage G went out as Cloud muttered to himself, "Shit!". He pulled the chain next to it and the floor underneath all the furniture in the room lowered, allowing the furniture to be put down below. The floor then became completely level and empty. A holographic projection started to encase the inner walls of Storage G as they suddenly started to glow white]*

**Cloud**: *(Walking around Sif)* How the hell did you people manage to turn this storage center into an off-brand Danger Room?

**Sif**: I thought you would've learned by now that I have a genius level IQ!

**Cloud**: *(Scoffs)* That just doesn't explain anything--

*[Sif put his arms out and shot a concentrated stream of ice at Cloud, who swiftly dodged by rolling to the right. Cloud then began to clench his fists and tighten his knuckles, which charged up the seismic blasts within his sonic gloves. After a few short seconds he put his arm out to aim at Sif, who began to fly and was ready to shoot another concentrated stream of ice]*

*[Before Sif could even fire anything once more, Cloud shot a continuous wave of sound. Sif flew past the sound wave with some difficulty due to the speed of the wave. Cloud continues to aim and fire his own seismic blasts, following Sif around. After consistent dodging mid-air, Sif decided to fly directly to Cloud, ready to punch him. Cloud had noticed this and clenched his fists once more to charge up his seismic blasts. Just as Sif got closer, we cut away]*

Insert your dumb scenes here, Ethan.

*[We cut back to Sif and Cloud, who are still in the middle of a battle. Sif is shown hiding behind a wall of ice as tall as his armor. He's clearly ready to fire another stream of ice while Cloud is shown clenching his fists and charging up another seismic blast. Sif finally comes out of hiding after a few short moments as he put his arms out and fired his concentrated stream of ice. Cloud had done the same for his wave of sound]*

*[The two appear to be at a stalemate as the two are firing at each other. While the sound shattered the ice, it was unable to hit Sif as it was being stopped by the constant stream of ice following that which already shattered. Finally, Sif decided to break the stalemate and fired at Cloud's feet, but he had quickly jumped into the air and threw a 2 of spades at Sif, which caused a small and minor explosion that knocked Sif to the ground]*

*[When Cloud landed back on the ground, his feet became stuck in the ice Sif had fired earlier]*

**Cloud**: *(Harumphs)*You absolute goddamn bastard! You actually managed to get a hit in!

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: *(chuckling)* Fuck you.

*[Suddenly, Sif's armor starts beeping. A heads up display within his armor showcased an attack on Dellsview's city hall by 5 unnamed individuals. Sif rolled over from his back to his chest and got back up. He walked over to Cloud and stepped on the ice that kept him subdued]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: It looks like you're in luck, you're gonna see some *real* action today.

**Cloud**: Huh?

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: We got 5 people around city hall, probably some common crooks.

**Cloud**: No, I meant did you insult *yourself*?

*[Sif had let out an angry sigh and walked over to the chains and pulled on one of them, which returned the room back to normal. He had then pulled on the other chain, which opened up the garage door. Sif then walked outside]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Y'know, this could be a chance to do something new for a change. Just you and I. *(Pause)*You coming?

**Cloud**: *(Walking up to Sif)*So... how am I supposed to get there?

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Grab on!

**Cloud**: *(Holding onto Sif from his back)*Okay, what now--

*[Sif began to fly up into the air vertically as Cloud began to scream. He then started to fly up vertically towards city hall. We cut to right outside of city hall. The Dellsview police have seemingly surrounded the entire area as we see the police have hid behind police cars. A humanoid figure had walked out of the already destroyed doors of city hall. He was tall and covered in a blue metal armor and a bug-like mask. He had four arms and two glowing orange axes on his back]*

*[The police began firing at the figure but he was completely unaffected by the bullets. As the police stopped firing, four figures in a black cloak had walked out city hall. One of the cloaked figures looked at the surroundings around him and had ran at a completely accelerated speed towards the police that have surrounded the area. We saw a blue and black blur circling the entire area]*

*[A few short seconds had passed and all of the cops in the area had been knocked out. The cloaked figure ran back up to city hall and towards the armored figure. Suddenly, the five had heard a loud sound which seemingly sounds like a jet engine. They had all looked at the sky and saw the Absolute Zero armor with Cloud holding its back. Sif had landed at the bottom of the stairs leading up to city hall. Cloud had let go and was holding onto his head whilst looking down, seemingly nauseous]*

**Cloud:***(stumbling)*I-I'm alright, just give me a sec.

*[Cloud had rubbed his forehead and looked up at the armored figure]*

**Cloud**: I didn't think I would be fighting the Fallen today of all days...

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: You know that thing?

**Cloud**: What? No, nevermind.

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: *(Addressing the armored figure)*Who the hell are you and what do you want?

**Armored Figure**: I am Sylas of Cascareau, here to collect a bounty for the Man of Sound!

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: *(Addressing Cloud)*You *sure* you don't know that thing?

*[Cloud had shook his head no as he clenched his fists, charging a seismic blast]*

**Cloud**: It was Jose! *(Sif had looked at Cloud in confusion)*Well we had to try, at least.

**Sylas**: I know he resides here. You two are able to comply and save your lives, or suffer the wrath of my Phantoms.

*[Sylas had walked to the right and gestured to the four cloaked figures known as The Phantoms. They then took off their hoods one by one to reveal a Kineceleran with a white visor named WY-LN, a Transylian with white hair and a ponytail named Vulfen, a female black Necrofriggian with glowing blue eyes named Shyyv and as the final Phantom unhooded himself, we saw a familiar face: a seemingly repaired Pyr-O]*

*[Cloud, acting in panic, fired his seismic blast at the four but was quickly knocked to the ground by WY-LN. WY-LN then turned his head to face Sif]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Wait! There is no reason to drag out this fight. Sylas, I challenge you to a duel!

**Cloud**: *(rubbing his head)*Sif, what the hell are you doing?

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Relax, these bounty hunter types have an honor system... of sorts.

**Cloud**: *(insisting)*You should let *me* fight him instead! I mean, this sounds like pretty good training.

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: You'll get another shot, there's plenty of convenient crooks around here, Alexander. Let the professional handle the big metal bounty hunter.

*[Cloud crossed his arms in disappointment as Sylas had stoood back to where he originally was with the Phantoms taking their distance. He grabbed the two glowing axes on his back as they glowed brighter, giving off smoke and embers]*

**Sylas**: Very well, metal man. Only to get a nuissance like you out of my way.

*[Sif propelled himself back up and flew directly to Sylas, ready to charge into him. Just as he approached Sylas, he swiftly burrowed his axes into the Absolute Zero armor and threw him inside city hall. Sylas turned around and walked inside after him. As Sif started to get back up, he shot a stream of ice at Sylas, who nonchalantly moved to the right of the blast. The stream of ice completely covered up the entrance of city hall. Sylas is heard chuckling to himself]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Just to ensure you don't try to run away, if that's okay with you. *(The tiny holes within his armor started to release a form of smoke)*As we speak, this room is gonna be rather chilly real soon.

*[Sylas ran towards Sif completely ignoring any word he had said and ready to slice him with his axes. Sif, noticing this, grabbed onto his upper arms that were holding his axes but just as had done that, his secondary arms had both jabbed Sif's helmet with both right and left hooks. Sif, completely stunned by this, let go of Sylas' upper arms but managed to roll out of the way]*

*[Sylas threw one of his axes directly at Sif, who narrowly managed to duck below. Sif fired back with another concentrated stream of ice directly in front of Sylas' legs. Sylas then reached his hand out and magnetically pulled his axe back to him. The axe hit Sif from his back on its way to Sylas' hand and knocked him into the ice he had just fired, keeping him stuck]*

**Sylas**: Your Manzardillian tactics are two generations too predictable and tired, boy.

*[Sif began to grunt and tried to pull himself out of the ice but the smoke generated from his armor only strengthened it. Sylas stomped Sif deeper into it several times before lifting him back up by his neck. Ready to completely slice his head off, he held his axe up high. Sif tried to get away from his grasp and out of panic, he put his arms in front of his helmet and the smoke froze up Sylas' helmet. He was taken aback by this and let go of Sif]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: You know all that hydrogen and moisture in the air? You're gonna be wishing you didn't wear a big metal suit like yours today!

*[The room had been encased in smoke, as the surroundings such as tables, stairs and the walls were completely covered in ice. Sylas' suit had also began to freeze up. He had tried to move his arms but his movement was completely hindered by the suit]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: You were right, by the way. Manzardillian tactics are so outdated. You ever encountered a Scleran huntsman?

*[Unbeknownst to Sif, Sylas' armor began to glow orange just like his axes and it had very quickly melted off the ice in his suit. He began to crack his neck and approached Sif with both of his axes in hand]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Well, Scleran hunters... they...

*[Sif began to run away as we cut to Cloud, with his earbuds in, clearly listening to music and nodding his head whilst looking at the four Phantoms. They all stared at Cloud dead in the eyes as he looked away. Suddenly, Sif crashed through the wall of ice he had created and was thrown down the stairs. He had quickly got back up, albeit with a slight limp now]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: ALEXANDER! IT'S TIME TO RUN!

*[Both Sif and Cloud ran towards the streets away from Sylas and the Phantoms. We then see Sylas walk out of city hall, placing both his axes on his back]*

**Shyyv**: Are there going to be two funerals, Sylas?

**Sylas**: Give it time, at least one of them is useful for the time being.

*[Shyyv spread his wings and flew up towards the two whilst WY-LN zoomed past his four allies and ran towards Cloud. Cloud, acting on instinct fired a sonic pulse. The pulse hurt the ears of everyone around them. Sif tried to cover his ears despite wearing a helmet, WY-LN crashed into a wall and Shyyv dropped straight to the ground despite being further away]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: ALEXANDER, SHUT IT OFF! I think you made your point!

*[As everyone began to grunt from the pain whilst holding their ears, Cloud clenched his fist which turned off the sonic pulse. The two continued to run away with both Shyyv and WY-LN recovering from the pain]*

[Add your shit here, Ethan]

*[We cut back to both Sif and Cloud, as they are shown running right in the middle of the streets. A car is shown swerving out of the way of the two, as Sif ran toward the sidewalk whilst Cloud slides through the hood of the car. The two had made it over to a two way intersection, ready to run towards the left but WY-LN speeds through and stands in front of the left intersection. The two, in a panic, decided to run to the other side]*

**Cloud**: I thought you were supposed to be the professional!

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: *(panting)*I have this handled, give me another minute!

**Cloud**: We don't *have* another minute!

*[As the two ran down the street, a police car was shown driving up the street, clearly speeding towards WY-LN who stood behind them. WY-LN accelerated past the two and straight towards the police car, flipping it over within a second or two. Sif and Cloud, both frightened by WY-LN's ability, tried to run into an alleyway to their right but WY-LN zoomed past them and stood at the entrance]*

**WY-LN**: Wrong way.

**Cloud**: *(panting)*Was there a right way in the first place?

*[WY-LN was shown closing his claws and spinning them at an incredible speed, creating an artifical drill effect. Cloud had stood there with his eyes widened and his arms pointed at WY-LN, ready to fire. Sif put his arm over Clouds and dragged them down. He looked back at Sif confused, but he had gestured with his head to look up. A barrage of red, blue and green lasers rained from the sky towards WY-LN who was unaware of what was about to happen]*

*[WY-LN is quickly shot down, as we pan up to the Fireworks armor flying in the air]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: The cavalry has arrived, my friend. Do you *still* question my professionalism?

*[As the two shared a smirk, Shyyv had silently flew behind the Fireworks armor in her in intangible state and stretched his arms whilst crossing them through the armor. She had gone back into her physical state and pulled her arms back, completely destroying the armor and leaving it in pieces. Both Sif and Cloud were in complete shock. Sif was shown sighing while Cloud was shown biting his lip and closing his eyes]*

**Cloud**: Y'know... *(exhaling)*you clearly don't want us dead, s-so what do you want?

*[Shyyv flew towards the two, ready to pick them up]*

**Cloud**: ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT, JUST CALM--

*[Cloud had been interrupted by Shyyv as she grabbed both him and Sif and flew up vertically]*

*[Insert more of your shit here, Ethan]*

*[We cut to the exterior of a parking lot. We pan around the parking lot to show that it is clearly nearby a storage center and more importantly, Storage G. We cut to the interior as we see Sylas standing at the edge with Pyr-O to his left and Vulfen to his right. WY-LN is shown standing right beside Vulfen, clearly battle scarred from the Fireworks armor. Shyyv had finally arrived through the opposite side of the parking lot, holding Sif and Cloud. She had dropped them and flew toward Pyr-O and stood next to him]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: *(Holding his helmet from nausea)*So that's what that feels like...

*[Sylas grabbed the two axes from his back and slowly walked toward Sif and Cloud]*

**Sylas**: I could have had both of you killed.

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Do you expect a 'thank you', or...

**Sylas**: I expect an answer. You two don't have to die today, so let me make myself clear: Do *not* cross me. My business here is to find the 'Man of Sound'.

**Cloud**: We told you, we have no idea who that is!

**Sylas**: It's not a very descriptive title. What I do know is that he too is a man of metal. My employer claims that he had stolen a valuable degenerative dwarf from his collection.

**Sif *'****(*Absolute Zero)**: Oh... shit. *(Looking downward)***

**Cloud**: *(Addressing Sif)*What is it?

**Sylas**: The reason you two are here now is because I sense that he resides nearby. And if you two live here as well, it does not sound like much of a coincidence. It doesn't look like the Omnitrix bearer or the Time Lord will be able to save you at this current moment. Now is time for you two to save yourselves and give me answers.

**Cloud**: We still have no idea who that is! It's just us two, the two you mentioned and some moody teen who really isn't available right now.

**Sylas**: *(Sharpening his axes)*I *did* give you a fair warning.

*[Cloud looked at Sylas angrily, as he finally snapped and stood up]*

**Cloud**: I'm tired of this and I just want this day to end at this point. Sylas, I challenge you to a duel!

*[Sif had got up and looked at Cloud]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Is this a good idea? *(Cloud was about to speak but was interrupted)*You know what, forget it. This is your chance to prove your worth to the team. Show him what you got.

**Sylas**: I suggest you get it over with, then.

*[Cloud had looked at Sylas dead in the face and clenched his fists tightly. He had waited about 10 seconds before he was ready to put his arm out and aim. He had finally opened up his hands and fired a seismic blast more powerful than he had previously fired. Continuous waves of sound was fired at Sylas, which completely smashed the windows of the cars nearby]*

*[Sylas had stood there at the direct line of fire of the blast but had been completely unaffected]*

**Sylas**: It took me weeks to try and track down the 'Man of Sound', do you honestly think I would bring a suit that would leave me vulnerable to an attack like this?

*[The radius of the sound wave had seemingly expanded, to the point where the Phantoms had to side-step out of the way]*

**Sylas**: Did you not hear a word I just said?

**Cloud**: *(Long exhale)*I heard you.

**Sylas**: *(Sighing)*If i'm being honest with you, I too want this day to end.

*[Sylas had walked toward Cloud, ready to stab him with his axes. Cloud had stopped firing and pulled a 3 of spades card out of his back pocket and threw it at Sylas. He stumbled back and lost his balance for a split second before throwing one of his axes. Cloud side-stepped out of the way of the axe, dodging it]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Alexander! Behind you!

*[Cloud had made a sharp turn backward to find the axe magnetically turning back. He side-stepped out of the way once again, making the axe fly toward Sylas' hand. The Phantoms had suddenly walked toward the fight, right beside Sylas. WY-LN in particular was shown looking directly at Sif, ready to attack him. Sif had put his arm out and fired a stream of ice onto the ground just as WY-LN ran toward him]*

*[WY-LN's legs were trapped on the ice he had just fired, however. Sif ran toward him and landed a hard strike directly at his face, knocking him to the ground. Right behind him was Pyr-O, who looked at Sif without making a single move]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: You should've made like Tox-O, at least then you wouldn't have to die twice!

*[We cut from Sif and Pyr-O straight to Cloud and Sylas. Vulfen had grabbed Sylas by the shoulders and nodded, to which Sylas backed away. Vulfen aimed his hand to a car that was to the right of Cloud, as sparks had ignited on the hood of the car. He pulled his arm to his right, which ripped the hood out completely due to his electromagnetism and flew toward Cloud, knocking him to the ground]*

*[Vulfen's coils had charged up with purple electricity, which in turn charged up both of his hands as well. He put his arms out to Cloud and fired said electricity at him. He quickly got up and rolled out of the way of the blast, but suddenly, Shyyv had grabbed onto his shirt and dragged him straight into a parking lot support beam. Cloud had tried to escape but it was no use. We then see a 4 of spades card fall out of his back pocket discreetly]*

**Cloud**: Oh come on, sweetheart! Can't we negotiate?

*[Vulfen clapped his hands together and had created an electrical discharge. Cloud was clearly sdhown fearful for his life]*

**Vulfen**: That! That right there is the fear I live for. I hear people on this planet have overcome their fear of ghosts, shall I reignite those?

*[Cloud exhaled and looked at Vulfen with an angry expression, much to his dismay]*

**Vulfen**: You... are quite a bold specimen.

*[Vulfen had grabbed on to Cloud's chest, which completely electrified him and caused him to scream in agony. We cut back to Sif, who is being pummeled to the ground by Pyr-O. Sif struggled to fight back, as he shot a stream of ice at his face but it had quickly melted off. Sif had noticed Pyr-O's exposed knees and striked them with his leg, which caused him to fall down. Sif slowly got back up again]*

*[Pyr-O had seemingly tried to punch Sif, but the punch was blocked by his hands. Realizing what he intended to do, he was too late to let go as he had fired a stream of fire that ignited his armor. He had panicked and yelled out for help, as the holes in his suit once again created a smokey ice that put out the fire. Sifs helmet had been completely scorched however, as he is forced to take it off]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: You son of a bitch! Do you know how long it's gonna take to repair this thing?

**Pyr-O**: No.

*[Sif had been shocked by Pyr-O giving a response as suddenly, Sylas pulls Sif backwards from his shoulders and slamed his fist directly in his face. Sif had been knocked straight into the ground bleeding. He felt as though he was going to be unconscious, as he looked over to Cloud and found that he was being tortured and electrocuted. He had tried to reach his hand out but it was no use, his sight was beginning to go blurry until eventually, he's unconscious. The screen is completely black]*

[Insert scene here, Ethan.]

*[We cut to a completely dim area. The only sources of light are the Absolute Zero armor's built in lights and Cloud's phone, which he was using. Sif had regained consciousness and started to grunt, which was ignored by Cloud]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Oh, god... have we been captured?

*[Cloud was heard sighing and continued to scroll through his phone]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: I'm... i'm sorry, Alex. This is all my fault.

**Cloud**: *(Putting his phone away)*Why is it *your* fault?

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: I fucked up, man.

**Cloud**: Sif?

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Mhm?

**Cloud**: Cut the shit. I don't really want to sit through 5 minutes of pronoun games and bullshit like that.

*[Sif had got up and sat down in a proper position opposite Cloud]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Do you know who I am? LIke, really?

**Cloud**: Some asshole kid with future ego problems?

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Yeah, that's a... *(slight pause)*fair statement. I wasn't raised here, you know. My dad, he left me with a spaceship and his intelligence. Thank god there was life insurance in space, he totally cashed in on it.

**Cloud**: If you use the word "totally" again, I'm going to hang myself with my own earbuds.

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Fair, again. *(pause)*I was a young guy, I had all the money in the world and I thought to... invest, you could say. I made some wrong choices, didn't have a good R.O.I..

**Cloud**: Where are you going with this?

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: Me and my friends stole a dwarf star! I must've had my Sonic Boom armor at the time, I didn't think anyone would put a bounty on my head, much less after 4 months!

**Cloud**: Wow, you were right. This *is* your fault.

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: It's not like I wanted to steal it!

**Cloud**: Sif, it doesn't matter if you didn't want to, you did it anyway!

*[Suddenly, the two hear what seems like an explosion in the distance. Sif exhales out of guilt]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: But I thought... all of that didn't matter anymore. I did some stupid shit but for 2 months, I escaped all of that when I joined this team. I felt like a decent human being for a change. I didn't want to be stuck here training you.

**Cloud**: Let me guess, you're nothing without... *(Cloud gestures for Sif to finish the sentence)*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: You want me to say i'm nothing without the team?

**Cloud**: That *is* what you were building up to, right?

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: I'm sorry that I endangered you. I knew that Stylus guy was talking about me the moment he went into a monologue at the Costco parking lot.

*[Cloud had stood up and turned around, ready to walk away]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: For what it's worth, you seem like a good person, Alex.

*[Cloud had sighed and turned back around to face Sif]*

**Cloud**: I'm gonna level with ya', kid. I don't really have much to do outside of this team. It seems like this is my chance to keep myself busy.

*[Sif had nodded in complete understanding]*

**Cloud**: There is one more thing I wanted to say. We aren't captured.

*[Sif had got up and looked at the surroundings around him in confusion]*

**Cloud**: I thought your "genius level IQ" would've been able to figure out we were back at base.

*[Sif smacked his forehead in frustration right then and there, realizing how much of a fool he's made of himself. Cloud approached Sif and patted him on the back]*

**Cloud**: It feels good to come clean, doesn't it?

*[There was a silence in the room for a few seconds before Sif broke it]*

**Sif (Absolute Zero)**: How did you escape the 'lot?

*[Cloud had walked away towards the chains and he had used his phone at a light source]*

**Cloud**: A magician never reveals his secrets, don't you know.

*[Cloud pulled on one of the chains which turned all the lights back on. All of the furniture returned from underneath the floor and Storage G had returned to normal. Cloud turned around to find Sif out of his armor completely. The Absolute Zero armor is seen folding. Sif activates his gauntlet and selects two armors in the HUD, which caused them to emerge from the ground on a podium. Both Sif and Cloud walked toward them]*

*[The two armors on the podium are Sonic Boom and Black Sun. Sif walked towards the Sonic Boom armor and grabbed two black ear pieces from its hips and handed them to Cloud]*

**Sif**: When the time comes, put them around your ears and do your sonic pulse... thing from earlier. It clearly worked on the Phantoms.

**Cloud**: *(Placing them into his pockets)*Alright. I don't recommend using the armor he trained himself for, just as a note.

**Sif**: I wasn't planning to but I have a plan. I think I'll be using Black Sun, it's still experimental, I've only ever used it once or twice but it'll suffice. Besides, this is as good a test run as i'll ever get.*(Sif winked)*

**Cloud**: If you do that again, I'll be using the sonic pulse on you next.

**Sif**: Right, I think I should've invested in nanotechnology. Would make carrying around these armors a whole lot easier.

**Cloud**: You reckon we should work together this time? As our pal the Agent would say, we cap off "this episode" with a nice arc?

**Sif**: Should my plan work, hell yeah we can.

*[The two shake hands as we cut to another garage on the opposite end of the storage center. Sylas and the Phantoms are tearing through a garage in search for Sif and Cloud]*

**Sylas**: I should've killed that long haired bastard on the spot!

**Pyr-O**: They are not far. My scanners indicate an 87% chance they did not leave the area.

*[Suddenly, a shadow casts over Shyyv, WY-LN and Vulfen. The three look up and find the Sonic Boom armor levitating over them. The armor fired a seismic blast that knocked them to the ground before they could even react properly. Sylas turned to him and jumped up toward Sonic Boom, ready to slice him with his axes. The armor moved swiftly and dodged every attack]*

*[As Pyr-O was ready to fire at Sonic Boom, a 5 of spades card was thrown past him against a wall and it magnetically attracked it. It had slammed its head into the wall, leaving circuitry exposed. Cloud walked out of the shadows right as Shyyv, WY-LN and Vulfen got back up. He placed the black ear pieces on his ears. He aimed his hands at the 3 and fired his sonic pulse]*

*[This time, however, the loud screeching had seemingly no effect on the Phantoms. Upon closer inspection, Cloud had noticed them all wearing blue ear pieces]*

**Cloud**: God damnit! Why did it have to be villains that were smart enough to adapt to my old tactics?

*[We cut back to Sonic Boom and Sylas as they were shown fighting on the rooftops of the storage center. Sylas was swinging his axes at Sonic Boom at a fast pace, but it had swerved to the left and right, dodging it at every turn. Getting frustrated, Sylas throw one of his axes behind him and threw the other toward Sonic Boom, who dodged it with easy]*

*[Sonic Boom then turned around to try and grab the axe that was thrown at him, but the second axe was attracted to him and hit him in the back. Sonic Boom was knocked to the floor on his chest. Sylas stood over him and grabbed the axe that was stuck on his back. He then grabbed the second one and was ready to cut Sonic Boom in half but all of a sudden, gravity had started to get weaker around him]*

*[Sylas' axes were floating upwards away from him and eventually, he began to float, too. The Black Sun armor had suddenly appeared and was inches away from Sylas]*

**Sif (Black Sun)**: Of course, I knew you were going to be predictable enough to think I would be in the armor you spent god knows how long trying to kill.

*[Sylas grunted and magnetically pulled his axes back to him. He tried to hack and slash through the Black Sun armor but he was a few inches too far. Sif levitated Sylas up higher as he himself flew up to him and fought him from above. Sylas tried to fight back but was too slow under the lower gravity. Sif had cheap jabs and strikes toward Sylas, but eventually, the lights in his suit began to turn green]*

*[Sylas' armor had activated its artifical gravity as he slashed through Black Sun's chest, exposing the circuitry]*

**Sif (Black Sun)**: Oh, that is just cheap!

**Sylas**: The thief is lecturing *me* about being cheap?

**Sif (Black Sun)**: Now you've pissed me off.

*[Sif had put his arms out to the ground and created an artificial vacuum that sucked in its surroundings, such as the walls themselves and all forms of garbage around the area. Sylas' armor had a jetpack installed and he was able to fly up higher than the vacuum's radius, but unbeknownst to him, the Sonic Boom armor was right above him. It fired a blast of sound that shoved Sylas downward and just enough into the vacuum's radius]*

*[Right as Sylas was sucked in, he threw his axes upward and away from the vacuum. Sylas had been sucked straight into the ground by force at a high speed, which barely cracked his armor. The Black Sun armor had levitated aboved Sylas and was seemingly chuckling. Suddenly, the axes had cut through the Black Sun's head. The helmet fell straight to the ground next to Sylas. However, nobody was within the suit...]*

**Sif (Sonic Boom)**: You see, I do listen! I really do hate being predictable.

*[This conversation was interrupted suddenly by what seems like the sounds of the TARDIS. We cut to Cloud fighting off Pyr-O, Shyyv, WY-LN and Vulfen who all stop to listen to that strange noise]*

*[Insert Ethan saving the day here]*

*[We cut to the interior of the TARDIS. Sif, Cloud, the Agent and Ethan are all standing in a circle and talking to each other]*

**Agent**: You know, I might have been wrong about what would happen today...

**Cloud**: What are you saying?

**Agent**: I know a guy who knows a guy and he told him that someone would be coming to reclaim a bounty. I thought it would've been that Lex Luthor-looking fuck, who I might owe money to. But at the end of the day, it was Sif's fault anyway and you two had it handled... in a manner of speaking.

**Sif**: I'm glad you added that last part. Just for the record, me and Alex would've handled the situation even if you hadn't showed up.

**Ethan**: *(Confused)*Wait, "Alex"?

**Sif**: Yes, Alexander... *(points to Cloud)*

**Ethan**: Uh, dude, his name is Cloud Shadows.

**Sif**: What? No way, he--

*[Sif turned to face Cloud to find him nodding]*

**Cloud**: You wouldn't have believed it anyway.

**Sif**: ...That your name is actually "Cloud Shadows". What the-- what the hell is going on?

*[Sif had stared at the camera completely baffled at what he now knows. The Agent approaches him and grabs his shoulder]*

**Agent**: There, there, friendo. You get used to doing the Ben Wyatt in this universe. I'll have you know it's somehow acceptable here.

*[The Agent and Ethan walk away from the two as Cloud approaches Sif]*

**Cloud**: Even without Ethan ex machina, I think we could've beat them.

**Sif**: *(Sighing)*I don't give a shit anymore. Just resume the status quo.

*[Sif had walked away from Cloud]*
