Fantastic League of Heroes

Chaos Brewing

Hero and Miss Awesome went back to the same place Bethany had been taken to before and there, they saw the guy right there, standing as always, he said on their arrival

   “Welcome, you have questions to ask, and now is the best time to do that”. 

   “Why are you doing this...? who are you?... what do you want?”, Hero asked, and the guy answered calmly, saying, “I’m doing this because I have the power to do it, I am Photo Power, I called myself that… you can call our team of Phantom, Punisher and myself, the 3Ps. Lastly, what I want is different from what my friends want… I wanna see Johnny Tony dead too”, he chuckles softly, 

    “... Mark you see we have a common enemy”. 

Hero looks surprised while Miss Awesome asked, “if Johnny Tony is your enemy, why are you fighting us? Are you trying to play mind games on us?”. 

Photo Power smirks and replied, “smart and quick… I feel threatened by both of you cause you won’t let me do the things I wanna do”. 

   “you’re going down”, Hero said.

Photo Power scoffs and removed his spectacle which he puts into his pocket and said, “We’ll have to fight. This is like a match of two against five”. 

Hero replied saying, “having the powers of four other people with yours doesn’t matter, this is about how to use them”. 

Miss Awesome tried to blow him backwards with wind but he flew up high then came down speedily about to punch her but Hero blocked by grabbing Photo Power’s fist then he punched him with fire in his hands. 

Photo Power came back and punched Hero as well, pushing him backwards, but Mary spun Photo Power on a spot with the wind and pushed him backwards.

Photo Power then shot heat vision at her, thrusting her backwards and rolling on the ground as she fell. He raised her up with the wind and punched her to the ground which cracks a little while she was coughing. 

Hero shot heat vision at Photo Power but it collided with Photo Power’s heat vision which was now pushing each other back and forth while they were coming closer to each other. 

Hero’s heat vision was dominating and about to blast Photo Power away, so Hero punched Photo Power who then falls back to the ground.

Hero began to punch Photo Power repeatedly on the ground,  then the latter generated a green energy ball in his hands, and sends a blast at Hero who was sent flying few meters back and then falls to the ground. 

Miss Awesome landed a super punch on Photo Power’s rib out of nowhere; he grunts and made two swords which he was trying to use to slash her but she dodged all the attacks and said to him after a pause,

   “You don’t know martial arts, I do… it’s not a superpower, so you can’t copy me”

    “but I can finish you once” said Photo Power.

He disappeared and appears behind her punching her immediately while she falls to the ground, face first. Photo Power chuckles and said, 

   “My power of five shall increase soon, I will go to each city with superhumans, from New City, to Star City and Clifford City as well… my reign begins now”.

 He puts on his spectacle and disappeared.

Miss Awesome grunts as she was getting up and Hero was up already groaning, she said, 

   “we need to seek for help from other heroes out there, we have to stop him quickly… if we don’t, it will be impossible to stop him”

(DR. ROBERTS LAB)

The team had gathered together, including Bethany who sat with Mark, while Mary was speaking and illustrating with a drawing on a board saying, 

   “My father, J*C is in Tokyo, with his team for a mission, so no one will stop Photo Power if he goes to Star City”.

 Kyle cuts in asking, “Wait…  J*C is your dad?”. Mary nodded, answering, “Yes he is, and he doesn’t wanna grow old, still looking young and strong… ah, there are female superheroes in New City. Clifford City has protectors too, like Hotfoot. Now we have to go to them, for help”

   “what if they don’t welcome you?” Dr. Roberts asks and Ben replies, “They will, they are heroes after all, so surely they will”

Nesa asked, “And if Photo Power copies all of your powers, you can’t stop him”

    “We can, he’ll be outnumbered, and he can’t use all those powers at a time, he uses it one at a time” Mark said.

Mary nods, “I think he can use two abilities at a time…”. 

Kyle sighs deeply, “if that’s it, then surely he’ll be taken down if there’s good teamwork”

Bethany also added, “And if he releases criminals, what will you do?”. 

Mary sniffs and answered “I believe we can stop him and he’s definitely going to jail”

(THAT NIGHT)

(A RESTAURANT)

Ben was at a restaurant with a lady, she sat right in front of him, while they faced each other. She had a short black hair, and a bit yellow skinned, her name was Ronda.

  “Ronda, I’m sorry… I’ve been really busy with some works… “, Ben was speaking, but she interrupted, 

      “With works you can’t explain to me for now, I get it, I’ve also been very busy working on something that could change the view of tech, a machine… you’ll see it when I’m done”. 

Ben sighs and replied, “well, I’ll be travelling next month… to England, there’s something I have to do”. 

Ronda clears her throat and asked, “do you know anything about… Dr. Roberts apart from just being a doctor,” she looked curious, “apart from being a person whom you visit his lab everyday like you work there”. 

Ben was surprised and he asked slowly,

     “How did you know that?”. Ronda chuckles softly, smiles broadly, and answered, “I’ve been watching you. I see Hero come out of that place and I know who he is… Mark Bryan, Miss Awesome is Mary Stark, I saw a female cop too, Bethany Shaw and her brother Kyle Shaw. I also saw someone who has no data, it’s weird… and abnormal… You know I’m a pro hacker, right? Well I’ve hacked into Roberts Lab camera once… I can’t tell you how I did it, so you won’t hack me back”. 

She chuckles and Ben replied, “So you know all that’s going on?”. Ronda nodded, and answered, 

   “Yes, I do, but all I wanna know is, what kind of person do you think Dr. Roberts is?”. 

Ben replies, “a good man, very good man”. 

Ronda stood up and said, “Alright, I’ll take my leave now, I have something very important to attend to this night” 

She felt dizzy suddenly and fell down. Ben quickly rushed to her side and realized all the other people in the restaurant had fallen as well.

Ben was still trying to get her up as her eyes were still wide open, everyone looked exhausted except Ben. 

Ben turned around sharply, and saw a guy walking in with his right hand raised, and his fist clenched, Ben squints his eyes; looking surprised on seeing the guy,

     “Galloway?”, he said.

 Galloway smiles and replied, “Ben… I wanted you to see this… long time no see my friend”. He folded his hand tight and Ben also fell to the ground.

(NEW CITY)

(UNIDENTIFIED LOCATION)

Wizard Shan was walking in a forest alone, he was putting on his black wizard gown, and it looked like he was in search of something. He finally got to a cave close to a small stream, he headed towards the cave till he finally got in, entering slowly. It was partially dark inside, then he whispered, 

     “filsa routhawa”. Then a torch of fire appeared on his right hand, so he continued going in till he got to a particular spot where he then noticed 7 figures, dressed in black from head to toe, and were all standing on different rocks which were tall. 

They looked human in physique, but their faces were covered behind black veils, and would be hard to even get to the top of the tall straight rocks which they stood on.

Shan looked up, he exclaims, and said, “Hello…”. 

Then he was replied by multiple scary voices, 

    “Hello, who are you?”.

 Shan smiles and replied, “You will know soon, but first… are you the Parliament of the Unknown?”. 

He was replied by the voices again, saying, “YES WE ARE”. Wizard Shan sighs and continued,

   “I’ve been looking for you, for centuries… I studied and heard that you can give and take, that you’ve been in existence for so long that no one knows…”. 

The voice laughed sinisterly while Shan still continued, “… I have come for power… More power so I can destroy anyone who stands up against me, and also live forever just like you all”

There was silence for a minute, and when Shan was about to speak again, the voices said, 

   “We know who you are… you know little about us, but we know you more…”. Shan asks looking curious, “Then… who am i?”

   “You are Wizard Shan. Your real name was Stannis. You were born 646 years ago in England, 1374, and you were friends with King Henry V…”

 Shan exclaims; he was surprised

   “… But you conspired with his wife to plan his death perfectly in 1422; you betrayed the throne and his little boy became the King, while his mother was actually the one in power, and you backed her up. You have been killing people to extend your lifespan, you had children, you killed them, you kept on living, you had children again, you killed them, again, and again, and again, and again, and also Bella, the Devil Girl… you killed her mother, you killed the mother and father of Amazing Girl too… but you couldn’t kill Alice, you failed… you will fail, she will destroy you, you will die, you will die… soon, except we help you!”

Shan scoffs and replies, “You know too much about me, but I won’t die, I will kill Alice”.

 The voice replies, “You can’t, Shan. You are the first person to see us in since 19th Century, the last time we were seen was 1854, we know you would try to threaten us to give you power or else, you would bring people here to see us, but the day you speak of this to anyone, you will die… now leave, we will never grant you power that would destroy us”.

(MR. BILLY’S HOUSE)

Alice and Annie were home and Alice was with a wooden box which had no side from which it can be opened, no nails on it, and it was heavy, it had no lock.

Annie asked, “that belonged to your mom, right?”.

 Alice nodded and replies, “Of course, I haven’t opened it ever in my life, and my mom used to tell me that something is in it which must not be brought out… except great danger approaches or it’s the last option. She used to tell me stories, she said there’s an object which has siblings, and the day they all get in the hands of one person, whoever it is must have a good will or else, things won’t be good”.

Annie was surprised, and she said, “Wow, don’t open it, ever in your life, do you get that sis?”. 

Alice chuckles and replied, “Okay boss”. 

    “Does your father have some kind of magic book, you know… it could help you learn how to use the magical powers hidden in you” Annie asks.

  “and if I can learn and master it quickly, then we can easily stop Shan”, Alice said, while Annie replies, “Exactly my point”. 

Alice then added, “I don’t know if he does, even if he does, it would be gone…. We’ll have to find another way to stop Sha”

(LATER THAT DAY)

Devil Girl just captured a petty thief and handed him over to the cops while he was taken away. She sighed and said to herself,

     “Today has been a really good day”. Alice replied through the ear comms, “Yeah it has, and I think we should pop some bottles… I’m craving for something hot”.

 Devil Girl chuckles softly saying, “I might be an ice devil, but you know I specialize in something hot too”. 

Suddenly, Photo Power landed right in front of her and the floor cracks while people were moving back.  

He was putting on a black suit and trouser, and black spectacles as well, he looked calm, but he isn’t, he had just come from Sunshine City, 

     “Who are you?”, Devil Girl asked, and he came closer saying, “Who am I? I am Photo Power… and I’m here to conquer this city too”

Devil Girl yelled, “Won’t let you do that”. 

She began to shoot ice frosts from her hands while Photo Power speedily removes his spectacles and began to melt the ice with fire from his hands, then he shot heat vision from his eyes, which blasted her backwards hitting her back on a metal pole. 

She grunts and was about to come forward, but he froze her with ice and quickly disappeared. Devil Girl was able to make the ice turn into water and was breathing heavily, she said into the earphone, “We have a problem”

The Man of Dreams who made Amazing Girl sleep off was in the same house he stayed and he heard a deep voice from behind, “Oi”.

 He turned back and saw no one, then he turned again to continue what he was doing, then he saw a portal right in front of him, the portal showed what was on the other side, he heard a voice, “come…”. 

He began to approach the portal slowly and stretched forth his hand. Through the portal, he saw an alien being seated like a king, it looked like a monster, the guy was about to go in then he took his hand back and asked, “What are you?”. 

The monster replied, “I am KOMLAK, open a path for us to Earth and I can put you in charge of Earth while I continue my quest to conquer other worlds”

 Man of Dreams replied saying, “Never, whatever you are, I’ll make sure you never reach our world, and even if you do, we will stop you”. 

KOMLAK grins and the portal disappeared, then Man of Dreams said to himself, “Heroes have to rise up and join hands together to protect the world… and I must help them achieve this”.

(CLIFFORD CITY)

Tyler, Nina, Barnes, Shana, Jane, and Mr. Alfred were all together except Dolph who had been away from them since Shana broke up with him. 

Barnes was speaking, 

     “I visited Dolph, and found out he’s now working somewhere, and he doesn’t want anything to do with us ever again”

     “That’s good,” Shana replies, “he can go his own way… who needs him here?”. 

  “alright, so Tyler, tell us, can Ray be saved?”, Jane asked, while Tyler simply answered, 

   “Since I met with the Old Master, I’ve been thinking, cause I found out Ray can’t be saved… he’s just a demon now... the real Raymond I knew is gone” 

Mr. Alfred looking concerned and replied, “So Nina was right, but Nina, you said the Old Master can’t be trusted, why?”

 Jane added, “Yeah, if he can’t be trusted, then why should we believe what he said to Tyler that Ray can’t be saved?”

  “Cause Nina said it too”, Tyler cuts in, and Barnes asked, “Nina, why don’t you trust the old master?”. 

Nina was quiet at first, but she answered, “He’s the reason why BEAST got away from Hell in the first place”.

 They all looked confused, and Shana asked, “and he’s also the one who locked BEAST in the dark world? what’s the dark world?”. 

Nina answered. “it’s like a realm of darkness, where many people can be trapped, but you can be visited, and you can get out of the dark world if you find the Black Ring, one of 7 mystical rings that can destroy and remake… Depends on who has it”

      “… If BEAST can get his hands on the Black Ring in the dark world, then he can get out at any time and even invite beings to come to the dark world, the dark world is like an endless realm with no light, just darkness, no beginning, no end, so it could take forever before he finds it, and he can also be released from the dark world as well, there are different ways by which he can get out… The Old Master trained us because of the fear that BEAST might try to kill him someday, and the name ‘BRAVO’ isn’t just a name”

Tyler asked, “What do you mean? what are you trying to say?”. 

Nina exhales and answered, “Each letter has a meaning, BRAVO is an abbreviation” 

Mr. Alfred asked eagerly, “Of what?”.

  “if the Old Master was really a good person, he would tell you this”, she said looking at Tyler, while Tyler replied, “Nina, tell me everything I need to know, so BEAST can be stopped when the time comes”. 

Nina balances herself on the chair, and started, 

  “BEAST isn’t the main thing you should be worried about, you won’t be the one to kill him, it will be someone else”

    “Who?” Jane asked.

While they were eager for an answer, Nina replies, “The person is yet to be born, male or female, it’s not known yet, Tyler… you will only get to protect everyone from BEAST, and also stop him from carrying out his evil plans, but the one to take his life isn’t born yet”. 

  “Now, about what BRAVO means”, Barnes said.

Nina replies,

  “B is BEAST, R is RAVAGE, A is ARMAGEDDON, V is VILE, O is…”, Shana asked “what?” 

    “you should know by now”, Nina said, while Tyler gasps, 

    “Old Master?”, he asked. 

Nina nodded while Tyler continues, “Then why were those names abbreviated and given unto me by The Old Master?”. Nina answered, “That’s because you are the only one who can stop them and also help them. Those 5 worked hand in hand for an evil cause, they separated, and can only come together against you or for your help. You can possess all of their powers, you’re very much powerful than you think, Tyler…” 

They were dumbfounded while Jane asked, “Take it from the top, who are those 5 exactly, what are they?”

  “BEAST is a demon, was originally half human, half demon, but the Old Master helped him find a way to hell and he bowed to the DEVIL, made fully into a demon. Later, BEAST wanted revenge on one of the powerful demons who killed his family, and that demon was a close relative of the devil. So BEAST got help from RAVAGE, a full demon, ARMAGGEDDON, destruction itself and VILE, known as a female sorcerer who has lived for over a thousand years, she performs VILE acts, she’s more like an embodiment of sin, always making new ways to sin, and make people sin… she has done so much evil that makes everyone suggest she's a demon too… those FOUR came up against that one who killed BEAST’s family, they succeeded, having the backup of OLD MASTER too, then they wanted to take down the devil himself, but they failed, and The Old Master had prepared an escape plan for them, which was almost successful” 

She stopped for few seconds, and continued, 

  “Only BEAST escaped to Earth, though now in the Dark World, VILE is being punished for her sins, RAVAGE is dead, ARMAGGEDDON has been sealed for a given period of time, no one knows when he’ll be released” Barnes replied “Perhaps when the four others come together again”

 Tyler sighed and said, “Nina, if I’m named Bravo, then I think they also wanna use me to kill the devil along with them, so they can rule HELL” 

    “That is correct,” Nina said, “… and if that happens, even dead Ravage will rise again, so, they all have to die so it won’t happen… one is dead, Vile won’t die except she’s killed, Old Master is the only free one of them all, also with his own plans”

Jane replied “We just have to figure out how we can stop Ray when he returns, for now…”,  “Sure, that will be done”, Tyler said.

(A LUXIRIOUS HOUSE)

Very late at night, a rough looking guy was outside the door of the house while someone was speaking to him from inside the house, with the door half open, the rough guy said,

     “I’m here to… see your boss”. 

The lady replies,

  “No… you can’t, he’s asleep, come back tomorrow, and who are you?”

    “Tell him his son is here”, he said. 

The lady chuckles and replied “good night young man” She closed the door and locked it while she was laughing then outside, the guy looks at his palms and stretch it forward then the door broke open, shattered on the ground while the lady was pushed to the floor, she screamed as the guy came in approaching, 

    “No one will ever shut the door on me again!” he said calmly.
