Penance/Outline

## Delaying the Inevitable

### Synopsis

PENANCE -- With a troubled past, Penance (Aaron-Taylor Johnson), begins to make up for past sins by saving Revilo City, a city he once did wrong. Although, his way of saving this city is... unconventional.

### Sif Notes

Penance establishes its kind of tone with its opening scenes, as Sif and M.A.X.I.M.U.S. hunt down a gun shipment down at the docks. It also establishes the state of Revilo City, and its characters. The second act is more about explaining Sif's past, and Team 10. The third act is more about establishing a new character, the secret villain: Thomas Picardo, a man supposedly threatened by a darker force coming to Revilo City. As well as this, some training and Penance taking out a mafia-owned bar.

### Opening Scene

It takes place on January 29th, 2016. As we see from the point of view of an enhanced vision, we see a bunch of ships getting scanned for weapons, until we see a gang. M.A.X.I.M.U.S. comments that the full scan of the area is complete. Sif continues by asking MAXIMUS to do a full scan of their bodies, to pinpoint certain vulnerable areas, as we discover the A.I. has sarcasm as it replies with "Would you like fries with that?". With the scan fully complete, certain areas are highlighted similar to a HUD, as Sif charges in with batons, dodging every bullet.

Penance does some cool ass tricks where he grabs a gun, and as the thug is holding on, front flips over him and holds him steady as a human shield, as he plows through another thug. He starts using the batons to hit certain areas highlighted, as they all drop down to the floor.

One injured thug remains, as Penance approaches him. The thug asks if Penance is gonna kill him, as Penance makes some bold and edgy claims about leaving him alive so he would live with a fear if Penance is truly there or not. How he'd have to live everyday knowing that Penance could be watching him, that he'll be there. When he's asleep, he'll be there. If he's enjoying desert, he'll be there. If he's visiting his family, he'll be there. Even in his dreams, he'll be there. He will want to die, but Penance will make sure he'll have a fate worse than death.

Until the thug's eyes widen, Penance starts bursting into laughter. "What, you think i'm some edgelord? Man, i'm too lazy for all of this. Tell your friends i said hey." as Penance grabs a Ray Gun and shoots him dead. Penance then looks back at the boat, as we cut to Penance dropping all of the bodies on the boat, as he sighs. He opens up this closed up holster, revealing a Matryoshka Doll (those dolls that if you open up, there's a smaller one inside. Here, it's a series of explosives). Sif puts it on the ground, next to the bodies.

It opens up, revealing several colors with each doll (green, red, blue, yellow, white, whilst the base is magenta), as it flies around magnetically, attaching itself to several different points of the boat. M.A.X.I.M.U.S. then interrupts him, telling him that blowing up the entire boat is unnecessary, in which Sif replies that he needs to destroy the evidence anyway. Sif jumps off of the boat, as he runs farther away until he turns around, and detonates the bombs. The explosion that is seen is massive, as we see burning debris crashing onto the docks itself. The credits then roll in.

### Act I

The story begins with a shot of the city. We notice a lot of construction, and a lot of graffiti, broken homes, cracked streets. It's established the state of the city as it was destroyed, and the people struggling to make a living. There's a lot of hot dog carts that have been knocked over, vending machines that have been destroyed and emptied out. A lot of posters for praying for the city. A lot of churches that have support groups for the tragic incident. As this is all established, we cut to a specific building, where Penance jumps in through the window.

His apartment is clearly established to be a mess. He walks up to his room, and hangs his guns up on the wall, as he unsuits in it. We establish that as he tries to open the lights, we can clearly hear something overloading as we see electricity going off on the roof. He goes to his computer, and hacks the RCPD radio towers, waiting until he hears more from the mafia activity. He grabs like a notebook, and crosses off the mafia docks checkpoint, as he exits the room. He exits the apartment he's in, to find a woman standing outside the door.

This woman is Melinda Jordonna, or just Melody for short. Melody is the neighbor of Sif, who also serves as a major character in the show. She's introduced as this lovable friend, who's more down to earth. She's honest, charming, and relatable character who really just wants to persue her career as a journalist. She grew up in Revilo City, who witnessed the horrible tragedy of December 7th, 2015. She asks if Sif heard the whole thing on the news about the water getting polluted, and the docks burning down.

MAXIMUS replies with "Tell me again, was it worth it?", as Sif replies "Is anyone hurt?", but Melody reassures him and says no. Melody then explains that a bunch of people got let off from work because of the docks nearly burning down. MAXIMUS says to Sif, "Yeah, totally worth it, man". Sif looks upwards and says "SHUT UP", in which he looks down and apologizes to Melody, saying that it wasn't referring to her.

Melody just looks in confusion, as Sif quickly makes up a lie that the people upstairs were making too much of a noise, as he keeps stuttering and using hand gestures. Sif manages to cut the conversation short, as he asks her if she wants to go out for coffee, in which she says yes. We then cut to a coffee shop called the "Maltha's Cafe" (Mig 10 reference), as we cut to a literal conversation about who they side with in Civil War. Sif then says "Team Stark, definitely".

Sif explains more so that him siding with the registration act makes sense because he'd feel guilty after Ultron. Melody continues to say that his reasoning doesn't make it right at all. Sif actually continues on by saying that it actually does make it right, since it's because he didn't have supervision that humanity almost became extinct. M.A.X.I.M.U.S. says that Sif doesn't like boy scouts (Melody can't hear him), causing Sif to roll his eyes. The conversation soon ends, as Melody sighs.

Suddenly, a blonde man with a black leather jacket enters the cafe. M.A.X.I.M.U.S. says "6 o'clock", as Sif turns around. The man is seen standing in line. Sif looks at his clock and tells Melody that he actually forgot to do his laundry (a characteristic that Sif has is that he blinks a lot when he's lying), as he tells Melody that he'll catch her later and that he's sorry, as he follows the blonde man out the door and into the streets. Unknown to the both of them, a silhouette of a man is seen stalking them in the front of a truck. (This man is Thomas Picardo).

Sif actually does some parkour moves, until he grabs this sort of stick, and shoots a tracker device onto his car. We cut to Sif, as he runs back to his apartment area to get to his motorcycle. He gets on, and touches the center of it, bringing up this hologram of the tracker. He rides his away into the docks, following his car, and he gets off it. He opens up the seat, grabbing binoculars and a Ray Gun. He stealthily makes his way to an area near the beginning, and looks through his binoculars.

The blonde man meets a shorter, bald man and asks him who did this. The bald man replies that it's "probably Klemer's gang" (reference to Mig X/The Legend of Mig), as the blonde man says that he heard something else from another source. One man did all of this, as the bald man stops him and says "One guy? What, do we have vigilantes now?", as the blonde man says probably not. The bald man continues to say that they could only salvage so little out of the wreckage, as they walk away to a truck. It then cuts back to Sif, as he shoots a tracker on the truck.

Sif gets on his motorcycle again, and tails them once more, and finds them driving through a very shady neighborhood, and into the back of what looks to be a bar called "Pliers B&L" (Richard 10 reference). Sif parks nearby, and goes in to see a near empty lounge (it's the middle of the day), as the bartender looks at Sif with a dangerous glare. Sif walks up to the bartender, pulls out his ID (reveals his birthday, age, etc), and asks for cranberry juice. Sif sits down, and puts a tiny device under the bar countertop.

As the bartender gets the cranberry juice, Sif looks to the left, and notices a sign to go to the washroom, as he gets up and starts walking towards the washroom. On his way, Sif puts the very same tiny device on the walls, and as he enters, he puts another device on the wall. Unknown to him, however, a bathroom stall opens up, revealing a slightly muscular man as he witnesses Sif putting that device. He turns around to notice him, and after a short pause, the muscular man tries to run away but Sif catches him first.

A short fight begins, as Sif throws this man against the wall, and breaks his leg. He fights back, but Sif manages to put him in a headlock, and snap his neck. He does drag him and put him back on the toilet, locking the stall and jumps over the door, to hide the body. Sif exits the washroom, but finds another door on the right of him, seemingly unguarded (the slightly muscular man was the guard), as Sif opens the door very slowly to find an entire weapons cache area which is beneath the pub and lounge.

The area itself is on the back of the pub, and there is a garage, and a downstairs but a big hole where you can see all of the weapons and stuff. Sif asks M.A.X.I.M.U.S. why they would leave the door unguarded, and he explains that the guy he killed was probably the guard. Sif grabs like the rest of his small devices, which are like 3 left, and starts placing one on the wall. Sif walks very slowly down the stairs, avoiding being spotted by the mafia, and puts another small device on the floor.

Luckily, most of the mafia were ready to head out anyway, as they walk up the stairs and out of the garage door, leaving like 5 mafiosos in the entire weapons cache, as Sif decides to stealth it out. To attract the attention of one member, he purposely makes noise on the far right, as most of them check it out, while Sif grabs one of them who is behind all of them, and chokes him out. The mafia suspect that there might be someone in there, as one of them suggests that they should stick together.

Trying that very same technique again, they go to investigate once more, but this time, one turns around and notices Sif trying to sneak up behind the one in the far back. Sif kicks the guy he was going after, as he jumps over him and punches one of them in the stomach, then in the face. Being too slow, however, Sif was quickly shot in the back. We get a shot of everything slowing down around him, as he tries to recover. M.A.X.I.M.U.S. does that scan for weak points in their body, as it's highlighted from first person view.

Sif does a quick slide to his back, and does this crouching uppercut towards the guy behind him, as he dodges a bullet being fired at him. Sif does a roll, and grabs the mafioso who fired at him by the arm, which is highlighted in red, as he holds his body and pulls his arm, breaking it. More try to fire at him, but he pulls the mafioso by the arm, and making him his human shield, as he throws him towards another mafioso. Dodging another bullet, he grabs another mafioso by the legs, highlighted in red, and drags it, making him fall.

Sif stomps on his legs, then kicks him in the head, as he turns around to quickly beat the last mafioso until he loses consciousness. Sif quickly grabs his last device, and throws it towards this giant safe-like door. The scene cuts to all of the bodies in this like box of empty weapons, trying to hide their bodies, as he's seen struggling with the pain of his back. Sif does suddenly hear the door opening, cutting to the point of view to a guard, as he slowly walks down the stairs to find... nothing. Sif has officially become Batman.

### Act II

The scene begins with a view on the outside of Sif's apartment, as he's seen climbing his own balcony with the bullet still in his back. Sif, breathing heavily, is on his knees as he opens up his balcony, and crawls towards his room. Sif manages to crawl into a chair, stationed on the left near a window, as robotic arms come out of the ground and start scanning and pulling out fragments of the bullets, while sedating him. He does wake up about 2 hours later, as his wound appears to be stitched up.

Still aching, Sif is somewhat healed as he asks M.A.X.I.M.U.S. to initiate the scan for the bar. He walks towards a screen on the farthest right, as he does some cool ass Tony Stark-type shit and reaches his hand just in front of the screen, and seemingly pulls out something from thin air that makes a cool hologram. He taps its center, making the whole room all holographic, as we can see a live and visual representation of the bar. See, those tiny devices are like scanners of sorts, they scan the whole area around it to make a holographic copy.

It's sort of like a camera, and it is live to what's going on. Sif tells M.A.X.I.M.U.S. to make a full scan of the area, he's infiltrating it tonight. He needs weak points, and the total amount of guards, as he exits his room, leaving M.A.X.I.M.U.S. to begin scanning. In the meantime, M.A.X.I.M.U.S. suggests contacting Melody, as it will take a while. Sif seems to be against it, but his phone is automatically calling her, forcing him to go out anyway. Melody does pick up, and they do exchange their "hello"'s.

Melody tells Sif that he could've just texted her, prompting him to look upwards, nodding. (The A.I. is in his brain). Melody explains that she'd love to go out in about an hour, it's just that she's watching the midseason to a new murder mystery series set on an island, bu Sif explains that he hasn't heard of it. He continues by saying he'd love to go in an hour, as he hangs up, as he just walks back into his room and looks blankly at his wall. He puts his hand directly in the center, making it open up.

It does some cool effects, similar to the wall opening up to reveal Reverse-Flash's lair on *The Flash*, as it reveals a red suit that looks similar to the Omniverse Secret Saturdays' suit, but more techy, red, and with an Arkham Knight-like mask. For Season One, Sif will sometimes go to the suit and it's sort of like him reminding himself of his mission, or asking for forgiveness. There is a picture of Melody in this sort of area too, and batons that are seemingly out of place (belongs to his brother).

He looks into the mask, as it shows a reflection of him, but as a stylistic choice, it shows him with a shorter hairdo, and less bruises on his face, generally more heroic, as we cut to a flashback months prior. August 9, 2015, with a much cleaner Revilo City. The police are helping to evacuate the city, as suddenly, we cut to a jet with like 10 other heroes. E-10, Doctor Mig, Klandestine, Akuru, Pride, Alienated, Rajiv Tech, Cloud, Rider, and Mike seem to be onboard of it.

There appears to be a hologram with them, as they explain that a radical has stolen a bomb within Tronn Labs that could destroy the entire city. Mike explains that the radical who's threatening to blow up the city is offering an ultimatum: His daughter for the entire city. In case things go wrong, Klandestine, Akuru, Rider, and Pride need to help with the evacuation, as will Mike with the jet.

Meanwhile, E-10, Alienated, and Doctor Mig will carry on with the negotiations as well. In case things go wrong, Rajiv and Cloud will break into the laboratory and try to deactivate the bomb. Suddenly, a hologram of the name "Codename" pops up, saying he'll be arriving shortly with his daughter with him. E-10 provides exposition that he's been threatening the city for a long time, but has evaded them. Now he has the means to destroy the city to the ground.

The jet then lands right next to the evacuation bridge, as everyone but Mike jump out. Mike then lands nearby, bringing in a ton of civilians, as the rest are seen getting people out of their homes and out of the city, which is now raining. Rajiv Tech and Cloud are then seen running towards the base, which is a big laboratory in the middle of the city. As we get a view of it, the camera zooms in, revealing a red figure, which is Sif/Shift, flying towards it. We cut to his point of view, telling this "Codename" person, AKA his brother, that he's got this.

Codename is the one to call him Shift, as he asks if this is a good idea, since he's rushing in and doing things the fast way instead of working with the team. Shift assures him, telling him that it can't be that hard going after the man directly. It's faster that way. He's then seen charging up a blast, similar to the Ray Guns, and melting a hole in a hole. He then sneaks into the base, EMP-blasting some of the cameras in his way, and walking up the stairs until he reaches the bombers' area. He's seen standing next to an open window.

The bomber is quick to hear Shift's footsteps, as he quickly turns around and holds the detonator in his hands. He tells him to back away, that he's heard his bargain. Shift tells him to calm down, and to hand over the detonator. The bomber then tells him not to move, or else the entire city goes. Codename talks to him over the communicator that he's almost there, to just keep him at bay. We then cut to Rajiv and Cloud breaking into the Tronn Labs building, trying to find the bomb.

Shift then continues and says that he doesn't want to do this, and that it's his last chance to surrender, which prompts the bomber to ask "Or else what?". We then cut to Rajiv and Cloud, breaking into every room, frantically trying to find the bomb. Codename then contacts Shift once again, telling him that he's arrived, and that he's on his way. Sif ignores this of course, as we see the bomber shaking. Shift charges after him, grabbing him by his shirt, and flying out the window, floating in front of the building.

Sif tries to grab the detonator, but the bomber quickly evades his arms, until Sif grabs his arm. Acting slowly, the bomber hits the switch. After a second of silence, Sif quickly contacts everyone through communication and says "EVERYBODY, RUN!!!", as Rajiv and Cloud find the bomb. Though knowing it's too late, Cloud makes a portal, grabs Rajiv and jumps in, as we cut to the rest of the team. Doctor Mig creating a force field out of magic, Ethan turning into XLR8 and speeding off, etc.

Sif is then seen dropping the bomber and racing the explosion behind him, as we see it devour other evacuation vehicles and buildings, killing thousands in the process. It even goes past the bridge and other vehicles out of the city. The heroes make it out okay, but most of the population don't. We get a shot of the city as the buildings are seen crumbling down, the survivors are seen injured and crying, the heroes on their knees as they look at the damage around them.

Each hero is seen, even Shift who has crashed down in a suburban neighborhood that suffered. We do get more shots of the heroes trying to help out what remaining people there are, as most investigate Tronn Labs. Sif, over the communicator, hear that Codename is dead. The only hero that has died (his brother; not said), as he begins to look around him and scream, even cry. We cut back to E-10, who is looking at his remains, with a very angry expression. He begins to walk out, shoving the others out of his way, and just noticing Shift fly out of the city. Ethan is shown screaming out as well, but towards him.

It then cuts to them all at the Team 10 headquarters, as Sif is shown being shoved to the ground by Pride. He's then insulted by him, saying that "All you ever wanted was your precious attention, Greed." (Yes, Pride's insult to Sif is calling him Greed). "Now you have it", as the rest just look at him in disappointment, some even wanting to hit him. Sif tries to say that he's sorry, but Pride just dismisses it saying that it's "just a word". Doctor Mig continues on by saying something like "You killed all of those... innocent people, how could you?".

Cloud continues on by saying that "You killed thousands of people, and all you have to say is sorry?", as Rajiv and Brian (Alienated) are seen in the back like "Psshhh, we knew from the start that he was good for nothing", as Sif begins to shout "Insulting me won't bring them back, okay?!", as suddenly, doors are heard open up. Ethan then runs in, and instead of the team blocking him, they let him pass through as he punches Sif to the ground. "YOU KILLED CODENAME! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!", as Sif shoves him out of the way.

Ethan says "Your girlfriend should be ashamed of you, you don't even fucking deserve her!", as Sif tells him to "Leave Anna out of this", but he responds with "Go to fucking hell you monster!". Ethan tries to go in for another punch, but Sif blocks it and hits him instead. His mask starts to form, as Ethan transforms into Shocksquatch. Doctor Mig begins to prepare a spell, as he levitates Sif up in the air and starts to choke him out. Shocksquatch begins to magnetically grab the metal around him, and throw it at Sif.

Sif, out of his will power, reaches over and taps his chest, which begins a shockwave that hits everyone in the room. Rajiv begins to manipulate the technology within the floor, as sentries come out and begin firing, but Sif magnetically attaches his feet to the wall and begins running towards Rajiv, spreading his arm out and hitting him with it. He then boosts off the wall, punching Alienated out of the way, and begins using his Ray Gun on Doctor Mig and Ethan. Ethan swiftly blocks and turns into Spidermonkey.

Alienated gets up, creates two large fireballs and stands side-by-side with Doctor Mig, who is about to fire kinetic energy. They both combine their power to hit Sif, as Spidermonkey shoots web on his chest, and begins swinging him around, hitting columns around him. Sif begins to conduct electricity into his arms again, and grabs the web, zapping Ethan. Doors are heard opening in the background, as Sif taps his chest and makes a shockwave going forward towards Doctor Mig and Alienated, blasting them against the wall.

Suddenly, as Sif prepares his Ray Gun-like blasts, someone grabs him by the shoulder. Anna tells him to stop, as he quickly turns around and blasts her against the wall (accidentally). Sif, in complete shock, tries to run towards her, who is now in a coma. She will not wake up. Klandestine also runs up towards her, looking at Sif with complete anger. She levitates and grabs Sif by the neck, choking him. He does blast her back, running out of the base entirely, as we see a shot of the base in shambles.

### Act III

The flashback ends as we see Sif, who is polishing his suit. As he wipes it with his cloth, we see a reflection of Sif once more, but this time it's him normally, doing some mirror stuff idk. Sif then gets a text from Melody, saying that she's waiting outside. Sif does respond with an emoji, then tells M.A.X.I.M.U.S. that he really hates sending them. Sif then walks up to his wall, looking at the picture of Melody as he closes up his wall. It then cuts to Sif, outside, waving at Melody as it's seen snowing.

Melody comments on the snow, saying that it's rather late for snow. Sif does continue by saying that it's still technically winter, as she does say that that's true. We then cut to the same silhouette, stalking both Sif and Melody in his truck. Melody tells Sif that she'd like to show him something, and she never had the opportunity to do so. Sif agrees, as it cuts to a central park-type area, as we see a ton of neon lights and snow. Sif and Melody are seen walking by, as Sif comments that it's nice to see the city like this... "joyful... i guess".

M.A.X.I.M.U.S. replies with "Smooth", as Melody agrees. They walk up to a big concrete wall right next to central park, which is a memorial for everyone that died on August 9th. She explains that people prayed to Revilo that day, and how she couldn't really fit in because she wasn't part of that religion, as she was catholic. She points higher up, to a man named "Maxwell O. Jordonna", who she says is her brother that died during the explosion. She explains that he was the only family she had left, but that was taken away by Shift.

He looks down at her, "You blame Shift?", and she responds "Team 10 didn't do it. He did.", as Sif comforts her saying that "He's probably facing justice as we speak", but she says "Not enough". After awkward silence, Sif changes the subject and says "So, tell me more about your brother. What was he like?", as she explains that he was a carpenter. She grew up without parents, and she spent all of her time with her brother. He was very brash, stubborn, moody, but he was also very sweet and nice, and he cares for people even if he doesn't show it.

She then sees a flower vendor across the street, and tells Sif to wait there as she tries to go and get some for the memorial. As she goes, however, M.A.X.I.M.U.S. asks Sif if it's a bad time, as he continues to say that the scan is ready. Sif sighs very heavily, as the A.I. continues to say that "It's not my fault this keeps happening", as Melody runs back with roses and puts them directly on the wall. Sif tells Melody that he has to run to take of something, as she replies with "I thought we could maybe go see a movie or something".

"You really gonna run out on me now?", she continues. Sif says that he's really sorry, as he runs off and waves back. Melody sighs, and says "Sorry is just a word, y'know.", as it cuts to Sif rushing up to his apartment, and into his room. We get a sequence of Sif putting on his suit, and attaching his weapons on it, as he jumps off his balcony and grapples himself onto another roof, as we see a view of the silhouette man's truck, turning on and driving after him. The screen then cuts to black.
We open up again, but with a bunch of Mafia members in the weapons cache area, playing poker. The short bald man from earlier is seen in the very front of the table, bluffing and raising, while they fold. He does win all of the chips, and laughs it over. A mafioso asks him about the docks incident from earlier today, and who caused it. He explains that Klemer's gang has been out of town for a while, it couldn't have been them. He replies with "So, what, are we really gonna bring up vigilantes?".

The other mafioso with him responds with "With all of these colorful idiots around, is it really that much of a stretch?", as the main mafioso is in silence. "Alright, first thing tomorrow i'll check in with the godfather, and we'll go vigilante hunting. But for now, however, let's enjoy the night as we have it. Besides, he'll probably meet his end at the end of a prison cell by tomorrow". We then slowly see the normal looking area turn more holographic, as weak points are seen highlighted. We then zoom out, to see that Sif is atop a building across from Pliers B&L. Sif is seeing this from his gauntlets that generate holograms.

"We have eighteen guards. five upstairs, thirteen downstairs. One is always near the door, while the other four walk around the garage door. The thirteen downstairs, eight of which are guarding the weapons cache perimeter, whilst five are playing poker. Their weak points are highlighted. There are also twenty-five civilians in the lounge area, in which i have a gadget set in place. The Noisemaker, in which it's abilities are in the name. Use it, get the civilians out of there, and you're free to kill.", says M.A.X.I.M.U.S..

Penance responds with "Anything else?, but M.A.X.I.M.U.S. says "If there was anything else, don't you think i'd put it in my analysis? There is one thing i'd like to tell you, though.", Sif responds with "Yeah?". "Back with Melody, and about Shift... don't you think you're delaying the inevitable?". Sif asks "What's inevitable". The response is "She will find out one day if you keep going on like this. My analysis there is to leave her be, and go.". Penance is quick to respond, as he says "You know i can't do that.".
"Good luck, i suppose.", as Sif grabs a stick-like device from his sache. We then cut to the civilians within the bar and lounge, that looks like this:

* http://www.hotel-royal.ch/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/HR-16.jpg

We see about twenty-five civilians within the lounge, as suddenly, explosions and gunshots are heard from behind them, along with the roof seemingly attacked. The civilains are seen running out of the place, screaming, with Penance seemingly grappling down from the roof, jumping up on the bar countertop, and punching the bartender out cold. He then walks into the hallway, all menacing, as we cut to the inside of the washroom. A man is seen who has just finished peeing, as Penance shoves the door open and tells him to "Get out", as a little gag.

The scene cuts to the weapons cache itself, as the mafia begin looking around and preparing their weapons. They all get out of their tables, as one of the guards try to head for the door, but movement in the vents is heard. The short bald mafioso yells "Show yourself! Or trust me, when we find you, you'll be toast!". More movement in the vents are heard, as Penance is actually seen sitting on the poker table. "Yeah? You and what toaster?", as they turn around. "So, you're the vigilante we've been hearing about?".

Sif responds with "Ugh, vigilante, that word's so overused nowadays.", as he responds "So what, you're a superhero?". "Not quite, keep trying", as Sif stands up. "You really need better security, i mean the guys upstairs didn't stand a chance", as we get a brief shot of the five guards upstairs knocked out. "So, which one of you wants to be next?". Sif begins to be pointing, "Eenie, meenie, monie, mo", as he points at the blonde man from earlier. Their weak points are highlighted, as Sif grabs his batons.

Penance starts to flip over the blonde man, and beats him in the back, which is highlighted in red. He then turns around swiftly, as he throws his batons up in the air, dual wields his Ray Gun and Winter's Howl, shoots a mafioso with the Winter's Howl, freezing him, then shoots him with a Ray Gun, shattering him to pieces. Sif puts his guns back in his holster. He catches his batons just in time, as he flip kicks a mafioso in the face. The rest begin firing back, though Sif manages to dodge.

Sif runs away from the gunfire, though he's met with a wall directly in front, as he jumps and magnetically sticks himself on it. He begins to run, stretching his arms with batons in place and smashing them into a mafioso's throat, killing him. Sif boost jumps from the wall, equiping his Ray Gun and blasting a mafioso in the head, also killing him. Sif then grabs the Acidgat from his back, and fires at a mafioso, completely burning a hole in his chest. He begins to burn up from the acid, as he explodes, killing another mafioso behind him.

Sif uses the Acidgat once more, burning up another mafioso and making him explode. Sif gets shot in the back once more at close range, but the bullet deflects and kills the mafioso who shot him. The mafioso who got flip-kicked gets up, but is grappled by Sif, and swung into the big metal safe-like door, killing him. Sif grabs his Hell's Retriever and Hell's Redeemer, and throws them at the two other mafiosos, one getting electrocuted to death while the other burning alive, as the tomahawks fling back to Sif's arms.

One is left, the bald mafioso, as he aims his shotgun at Penance. Sif quickly grabs the shotgun, and crushes it with one hand, and shoves him to the ground. The mafioso, petrified at this point, asks "Who the hell are you?". "I'm Penance", as Sif punches him, knocking him out. Sif grabs his Winter's Howl, shoots the vault door multiple times, as it freezes up. He then grabs his Ray Gun and fires at it, causing it to fall over and break apart. Without hesitation, Sif grabs a Matryoshka Doll, and throws it at the wall, in which it magnetically sticks itself.

The Matryoshka Doll opens up, like the opening scene, and sticks itself on various parts of the area, especially the crates full of weapons. "You wanna know what the sad part is about this? He never got to say "Who?" after Penance.", as Penance begins to laugh. The scene then cuts to Sif, running out of Pliers B&L, as it's still snowing. The charges are set, as Sif asks "Am i free to blow the place up?". "Go ahead.", as it detonates. After a quick pause, the entire bar and lounge is seen to be collapsing on itself.
We get a nice view from a distance, as Penance is seen sitting in the snow, watching the bar and lounge collapse on itself and burst into flames. We then cut to black. The scene opens up with Sif, out of suit, crossing off one weapons cache out of seemingly three, and with two more to go. Sif calls it a small, flawless victory, but M.A.X.I.M.U.S. disagrees. "Mate, that wasn't just a flawless victory. THAT was a fatality.", as Sif puts the hologram away. The scene then cuts to the outside...

...The silhouette is now seen exiting his truck. The camera angle is around his legs, as we see Sif closing down the lights from the windows. We then see the silhouette walk inside the apartment, and into the elevator, as it cuts to the elevator opening up on Sif's floor. He begins walking towards the door, until he finally reaches it. The screen cuts to black. END OF EPISODE.

## It's Called Martyr

### Synopsis

THE END IS NIGH -- The man in shadow has revealed himself as a survivor (Harrison Ford) of a powerful overlord who is coming to Revilo City. Witness a reality doomed, as we prepare to prevent this doom for our own.

### Sif Notes

The opening scene takes place on the alternate world that Thomas Picardo lives on. With a few key differences (the city named Revillo City, and a few notable changes in design), we quickly see the life of Thomas as the overlord begins to attack. Throughout the episode, we get more as to how Thomas got here and more explanations. Although, Penance is alarmed by a break in at a Knighttech facility, as a thief tries to steal a solar powered generator. We also get things from Penance explained during dialogue between him and Picardo.

### Opening Scene

The episode opens up in a sunny afternoon, as the camera moves downwards towards what looks to be busy streets. The setting is Revillo City, December 9th 2016, on a different dimension entirely. We then see a view of the city, as we see giant skyscrapers, even a Team 10 Tower. The city itself is massive, but very busy. There is many rush hour traffic going on, there are police chases, even heroes flying in the sky. We then cut to a man, who seems to be a police officer, running out of a precinct whilst on the phone. This man is Thomas Picardo.

His wife, over the phone, is heard weeping as Picardo promises to bring their daughter back. Picardo manages to reassure her, before getting in a police car and speeding off. Over the police communications, we hear that a supervillain outbreak is attacking central park, as all the superheroes struggle to keep up. Picardo, driving as fast as he can, makes it to a sports camp-like area, as his daughter and five other kids make it into the car, before Picardo starts to drive away.

Over the communications, we hear that 'Jake Tech and Alias' have died, as we see from the view of a rear-view mirror that a red gust of energy is heading towards them, as Picardo goes as fast as he can to outrun it. The red energy however demolishes every vehicle and building in its path, as Picardo manages to swiftly drift into an alleyway, safely outrunning the energy. Looking to the window on his left, Picardo witnesses a red, energy spike emerging from the ground, as it moves around like a tentacle.

In front of Picardo, however, is traffic. Now being stuck in this traffic, and more cars approaching behind him, Picardo tells the kids to exit the car and to run under the bridge in which there's traffic. As they run, the sky above them turns from an orangey-blue afternoon scene to pure, scarlet red and orange. As this is going on, out of the sky, cloaked beings start to float towards them, as Picardo pulls out his gun. These demonic beings, circling them, start to slowly approach as Picardo starts to shoot them one by one.

With the point of view behind one of the demonic beings, a bullet is shot through their skin as we transition into the ending of episode 1, with Sif grabbing the silhouette and shoving him against the wall, whilst trying to choke him out with a baton. With a shadow cast over his face, he moves up slightly to reveal... THE COP FROM THE BEGINNING!

### Act I

Picardo, now resisting Sif's batons, grabs ahold of one of them and yanks it off of Sif. Sif then asks who the hell he is, and Picardo explains that he's not the bad guy and that a greater evil is coming. Sif, now intrigued, lowers his baton and tells him to speak up. Picardo explains that he's not from this world, and he comes from a distant world much like ours. He continues to say that he's a cop on his world, and he used to help Team 10. He tells Sif that he knows that he's Shift, in which he responds with "That isn't who i am anymore.".

Picardo says that since his time here, he read up on events. He knows what happened during the incidents in Revilo City, and everything regarding Team 10. He states that he does know what happened on that fateful day, and disappeared. Until he became someone else. Sif states that he dos not need a history lesson, and wants to know about this threat. Picardo explains that an ancient evil known as The Overlord has god-like abilities and destroyed his universe, as well as murdering everyone there including his family.

Sif says "My condolences", but asks how he got out of there. Picardo states that it's a long story, but he'll be coming to this world soon enough unless they stop him. M.A.X.I.M.U.S. tells Sif that "We don't exactly specialize in this department", which causes Sif to ask Picardo "Why don't you ask Team 10 instead?". Picardo claims he thought about it but he wants to be on the down low, and they don't exactly have a bright reputation in this city. He claims that this should be easy enough without attracting any attention.

Sif, finally lowering his batons, says that he'll look into this in the morning. Picardo claims he doesn't exactly have a place to sleep anymore, causing M.A.X.I.M.U.S. to say "Don't push it, old man". Sif begins to sigh, and says he has an extra set of blankets and pillows, and he can sleep on the couch. Suddenly, however, Melody appears to be knocking on the door. Sif tells Picardo to hide in his room as he turns around to face the door, but Picardo is quick to tell Sif that he has no pants on.

The camera zooms out to show that Sif is in his boxer shorts. M.A.X.I.M.U.S. says that "This isn't the first time this has happened". Sif mumbles to himself "Yeah, well, shut up". Sif walks to the door, without changing, and opens it while hiding most of his body behind the door to find Melody at the door. She appears to have been waken up by the noise, as she asks Sif "Hey, um, you alright in there?". Sif says everything is fine, then proceeds to say that he dropped "his", as he continiously blinks trying to find an excuse.

M.A.X.I.M.U.S. screws up Sif's thought process and says "TV", which causes Sif to say that he dropped his TV. Melody asks if everything's alright in there, and Sif says everything is good, and that it's not broken. Melody, confused, says that she's glad. After an awkward pause, M.A.X.I.M.U.S. is quick to remind Sif that he ditched her when they went to hang out. Sif then proceeds to apologize to Melody about that and asks her if she'd like to hang out sometime tomorrow. Melody says that'd be great, which causes both of them to smile.

We cut to Picardo, however, as he appears to be sitting against the wall. He pulls out a locket from his pocket, and opens it up to find a picture of his wife, daughter and son. We then cut to a flashback of Picardo's world, as we see Picardo in a truck, with the rest of the children. They appear to be pulling up next to a church-like area. We then cut to a shot of a statue within the church, showcasing a cloaked man known as "God Revillo" in the bottom of the statue, with his hand in the air and seemingly shining.

The doors are heard busting open, as several other people from the church help the children out of the truck, as Picardo runs towards his wife who is seen crying, and hugs her. Their daughter also runs and hugs her mother. The mother cries out and says to her daughter "Carol, please just stay close, okay? Don't ever escape my sight". Picardo then asks his wife "Hila, are we safe here?". She responds with "One of the heroes shielded this place", as she shows him a gold/silver sphere shaped object which is glowing blue.

Picardo asks what it is, as Hila says "Mason 10 called it the Summoning Key, he told me it's most powerful here, and it's shielding us from the monster out there". Suddenly, Picardo's eyes start to glow orange, as he pushes Hila out of the way. "That's exactly what i needed to hear" Picardo says in a demonic voice, as he grabs the Summoning Key. A few people try to get in his way, but with ease, he pushes them to the ground and sprints out the door. He aims the Summoning Key into the air, and...

Out of the sky, the cloaked demonic beings known as the Parasytes start floating down right in front of Picardo. Soon after, the sky noticeably starts to move around and slowly forms a circular shape, in which a fire-y humanoid being starts to float down as well. Soon after, red flames start to appear around him as they make a giant body for this humanoid. "Your work has been completed, Overlord" Picardo says, as the Summoning Key levitates towards The Overlord.

The Overlord begins to press a button within the Summoning Key, deactivating the force field around the church. One of the Parasytes then grabs Picardo, and throws him against the truck. His mind control then wears off, as he's knocked out. The Overlord proceeds to completely destroy the roof of the Church, scaring the people within the church. Picardo's family in particular hides behind the seats. Picardo's son, Ben, looks around and notices Picardo knocked out on the truck.

Ben starts to scream and cry, believing that he's dead, as The Overlord notices him running towards his father. The Overlord proceeds to press a button on the Summoning Key, as Ben, along with everyone in sight disintegrating and being put within the Summoning Key. He then lifts up the Summoning Key, as the ground begins to shake. Suddenly, an entire tomb emerges from the ground, revealing numerous statues and pillars. The Summoning Key begins to glow blue, as the top of the pillars get the very same glow.

Beams of blue light is shot up into the air, as Picardo seemingly wakes up just in time to see what's going on. The flashback ends there.

**CaT Notes:**To explain this flashback, basically what happened was, we didn't see what happened in the very beginning of the episode. We know that Picardo fought the Parasytes but that's how it ends. Well, i explained it that they were controlling his mind, and made him think he won the fight. So he got in a truck with the children, and fled to the Church. The Overlord knew it was there but he couldn't get inside, so he used Picardo instead. Also, the tomb under the Church, that tomb is in every single universe. It's purpose is that it makes the Summoning Key even stronger and have a wider reach. It's more like a super battery. If you find the tomb, you become the strongest being ever. Oh, and yes, i got Hila from H3H3Productions. Sue me.

## Team 10

* E-10 - Ethan Welker, the leader of Team 10. He gained a device known as the Omnitrix when he was young, and has since used it for saving the world countless times. Though as he grew older, he was considered to be more ruthless and straight-forward, who really can't take a joke.
* Doctor Mig - Miguel Rivers, the once best friend of Sif Hunderson. He was the son of a brilliant surgeon, but was soon lost to Mig's lost step brother, Gimmore. Mig had soon learned of his heritage, being from an alternate dimension named Aqasia. Mig's father as he knew him wasn't his biological father, but the ruler of Aqasia is. Born as Mig Serriv, he was soon hid after birth to lead a life away from Aqasia, as he was adopted by Ryan Rivers, and had his name changed to Miguel Rivers. After finding out about his heritage, he soon learned about the dangers of this world, and had intense training to be known as a sorcerer named Doctor Mig.
* Rider - Also known as Christopher Chase, or Chris, is E-10's right hand man. Chris was childhood friends with Ethan, as he was the only one who knew about E-10's secret. After an encounter with a man named Rider, he was soon put under his belt as an apprentice, inheriting a suit with ancient power. With Chris going as the second Rider, he gained the power of strength, endurance, speed, and cosmic energies. Although, he was at odds with Sif numerous times.
* Rajiv Tech - Rajiv Jackel, an older member of Team 10. Being experimented on as a child, Rajiv gained the abilities of technological control. Being the other best friend of Ethan, Rajiv was usually described to be the tech support of the group before Sif. Although, unlike most other members, he also puts focus on his personal life as a musician/vocalist, making him famous. Because of the high respect, Sif usually resented Rajiv, but the feeling was mutual as Rajiv also resented Sif.
* Omniversal - Wil White, is the new addition and replacement of Sif for Team 10. Coming from a poor family, Wil made a living on his own building and fixing mechanics. His main ability is his Omniversal Mark VII suit, which could mimic and adapt to any situation. Not only is it mechanical, but it's also described to be mystical, as it's sentient and prone to evolve from time to time. He is constantly at odds with Brian, however.
* Alienated - A-Ren, also known as Brian Jackel, is an alien from the Andromeda Galaxy. He was found crash landed on Earth by Rajiv, and soon to be his best friend. A-Ren was given an identity as Rajiv's cousin, Brian Jackel. Brian is known to have the power of controlling elements, such as water, earth, lightning, fire, air, etc. He is known to be at odds with Mike and Wil, as he's considered brash and stubborn.
* Pride - Alan Nomaly, is an older member of Team 10. Originally known as Alanomaly, he had the power of Alchemy. He had spent much time studying the powers of alchemy, and eventually tried to learn how to make artificial life. He learned of the dangers that came with it, but went along with it anyways, creating a new human life. However, this life was dangerous. It had no body, so it tried to take over Alan's. This life was full of itself, always putting itself above the rest, so when Alan finally regained control of his own body, he named the new personality Pride, and eventually, the two grew to be allies.
* Klandestine - Tayla Class, like Rajiv, was experimented on as a child. Though unlike Rajiv, remained under testing throughout her teenage years as Project: Klandestine. Being killed and resurrected, she inherited ghost-like powers such as flight, intangibility, and ectoplasm-type powers, as well as communication with the dead and precognition. She does seem to care for Mig and Sif, as well as Mike, though completely hating Ethan, Brian, Rajiv, and Chris. Although, she isn't very prominent in the team, she is still considered part of Team 10.
* Cloud - Like Mig, Cloud is not from this dimension. Instead, he was raised in Purgatory. Cloud had spent centuries upon centuries learning from the ways of an old angel and training himself as he looked down on the world with complete disgust. But, he was inspired by E-10's actions to also become part of his team. Being an early member as well, he eventually found a way to exit Purgatory and came to Earth as Cloud the Dark Hunter. Being considerably knowledgable, he served as the mentor for the majority of the team members, and was even a temporary leader. Though he has no real enemies, he does show some dislike for Rajiv and Brian.
* Mike - Mike Russo, who literally goes by Mike, is a multi millionare teenager who joined Team 10 when he was young. Unlike all of the members presented, he doesn't fight. He has funded the base of operations and everything Team 10 has ever needed. He serves as the sort of director, who stays at the base and communicates with the team, as well as informing them of threats. He is considered friendly with everyone but Brian, as they both share a mutual hatred.

### Additional Members

* The Agent - Richard Rhyneheart, the adopted father of Alan Nomaly. The Agent is nearly 500 years old, being even more knowledgable than Cloud, though not as good a fighter. He had found Alan as an anomaly in the year of 1713, with the abilities of Alchemy. The Agent adopted him and took him as a companion for many years, until Alan finally left. Considered the only father figure, Alan looked up to him very much. The Agent has helped and joined Team 10 every once in a while, but not considered a main member.
* Nietzsche - Jessica Nietzsche, the girlfriend of Alan, is only half human. Being part of another race of shapeshifters, she was captured by alien pirates and rescued by The Agent and Alanomaly. Sometimes a member of Team 10, she usually operates in Arizona, where she lives. A girlfriend to Alanomaly, though usually busy. She has shown a great liking for Friedrich Nietzsche.
* Akuru - Brian Mitsuka is a member of Team 10. During a trip with his friends, he discovered a strange shaped stone. He was later attacked by some strange creatures, making the stone accidentally land on his waist. The stone glowed and changed form, revealing itself to be an ancient, belt-shaped device, before fusing to his body. He transformed, to a humanoid creature with bug-like features, and barely defeated the attackers. He soon learned how to control his transformation, and afterwards, tried to be a hero just like in those hero shows he used to watch as a little kid.

NOTES:

-Powers include superhuman strength, superhuman senses, superhuman reflex, superhuman speed, yadda yadda.

-Can change forms

- similar to how a bug molts. Different forms gives him different powers as well, like more speed, really good hearing (basically just his superhuman senses but stronger, might hurt himself though), and just plain durability.

-Forms might come with drawbacks (giving up strength for more speed/agility, for example).

-Wielding something while in a form that isn't his base form will turn it to a weapon, fitting the form's fighting style. (Some fancy but simple bo staff for the speed form, for example)

-New powers/forms are unlocked through his emotions.

-Belt doesn't appear when he's transformed, only when he wants to.

-For form changing maybe just give him a new color and change some parts? Like, less armor for the speed form.

-Akuru is taken from some ancient writings on Brian's belt, which he uses for his hero name.

### Ex-Members

* Shift - Sif Hunderson, he had joined Team 10 roughly around the same time as Doctor Mig. Though previously, Pride, Doctor Mig, and Shift had operated as a trio. Soon after joining Team 10, he had gained recognition on the streets, but not enough within the team. Constantly considering himself the underdog, he had decided to act up instead of being hidden in the shadows constantly. As well as this, he felt like he needed more popularity with his heroics. Constantly throwing his friends under the bus, or sidelining people, Shift was soon considered worse than Rajiv and Brian. With his acts getting worse and worse, the final straw was nearly killing his girlfriend and destroying Revilo City with selfish actions. He was soon resented by the public and Team 10, as well as his friends.
