Max looked at Darius's body, as he was knocked out cold. " What do you want, Zaco? I am tired of this game." He said trying to make Zaco let his guard down." Oh, Max! All you need to do is due and let me rule like the king I am. I will have both worlds."" Promise me, you won't lay a finger on my friends in both worlds." Max said as he saw Eddy moving his fingers over his tech watch. " Now!."Max ran toward Zaco knocking him down to the ground and both began to exchange blows. During their fight Max noticed that Zaco was stronger than he was. " Surprise Max. You can't beat me here. This is my world and here you play by my rules."Eddy got up and Jonas went for his injury, " How dare you betray us like this? Do you think you can just walk out of here alive? Not on my watch."The battle was fierce as both crews paired up to fight against each other.Darius woke up and crawled toward Amy." Stop! Who is that? Please don't harm me." Amy pleaded, not knowing who it was.Darius loosened
Eddy immediately looked for a car and they left Zaco's liar. He contacted one of his doctors and he came at once. "Can you all leave and let me do my work?" Amy looked frightened, " Is he going to be alright?" I need to at least check his vitals and know what is happening with him. I can't give you any hope right now."Doctor Brian gathered his kits and looked at the nurse that was with him, " Hey, grab me that pillow, tilt his head up with that."" We need to leave so that he can have the space to himself. What is your deal with Max and why are you helping him? Do you believe in two worlds? To me, I find it funny."Darius walked with Eddy, " From what had been going on, I believed everything Max said down to the system part."" System! Huh? What is that?"" It is not in my place to tell you anything because I am having a hard time understanding how it works. Looks like some entity that gives out tasks and in return gives us a lot of money for the completion of each task."Eddy rais
Doctor Brian walked in on them, " I think I have to go now. Please update me on how Max feels when he is awake. But he would be fine and also let him know he needs to drink a lot of water and keep his head bandaged for some time."The trio exchanged glances, as Doctor Brian made his exit, leaving them with the weight of uncertainty regarding Max's condition. Amy, still on edge, asked, "Do you think Max will be okay? What if there are lasting effects from whatever happened?"Eddy sighed, "We can only hope for the best. The doctor did his part, and now it's up to Max to recover. We'll support him, whatever it takes."Darius, now in fresh clothes, chimed in, "Speaking of support, let's figure out how to deal with this bill. Amy, I appreciate your help back there, and we all owe Doctor Brian a significant amount. I'll cover the remaining $30,000."Eddy nodded appreciatively, "Thanks, Darius. I'll transfer my share to you once we're done here."Amy, looking at the comic books in his hands,
Max slowly opened his eyes, the dim light of the room gradually revealing the unfamiliar surroundings. The throbbing pain in his head reminded him of the recent events, and as he tried to sit up, a sharp pain shot through his body. He winced, gripping the edge of the bed."Easy there, Max. You took quite a hit," a calm voice spoke, and Max turned his head to see Doctor Brian, who was adjusting some medical equipment nearby. Amy, Eddy, and Darius were standing around, their faces a mix of relief and concern.Max attempted a weak smile, "Guess I'm not invincible after all."Amy rushed forward, her eyes filled with worry, "Max! You're awake. How are you feeling?"Max was surprised at the way Amy felt, it almost looked like he was in his world where his friends worshipped him like he was a god.Max gingerly touched the bandage on his head, "Like I went ten rounds with a heavyweight boxer. But I'll survive. What happened?"Eddy stepped forward, explaining the events since Max lost consciou
" I think it is settled then. We need to move fast Eddy, we don't know the danger Zico is in."Max is determined to follow them, " I am fine okay. I can handle myself.""Are you sure about this? We don't know Zaco as much as you. But if he is deadly then you need to stay back. We can handle him on our own."" I promise I won't slow you down." The crew, now focused on finding Zico, gathered their belongings and prepared to follow the signal Eddy had traced. Max, though weakened, was determined to contribute to their mission.As they made their way through the unfamiliar territory, Amy kept a watchful eye on Max, concerned about his well-being. "Max, you really should take it easy. We don't want you passing out on us again," she urged."I appreciate the concern, Amy, but time is of the essence. We can't afford to waste any more of it," Max replied, determination overshadowing the pain in his eyes.Darius chimed in, "Max is right. We need to move quickly, but we also need to be cautious
**Present world**Irrisia was getting worked up. It had been months and there was no news about Max. " Do you think he is dead?" she asked Darius with a worried look on her face.Walking closer to her. " We need to keep our hopes alive. I don't know what to tell you. I believe Max would fight his way back to us. In the meantime why don't we visit Zaco in the prison."" Is that a good idea?" Amy asked.Zico came out of a room with a towel around his waist, " I think you all need to calm down. I believe Max is alive."They all looked at him and asked almost at the same time. " Why would you think he is alive?"" it is just a feeling. The Max I know doesn't give up easily in the face of any trial. I believe he will scale through this difficult time"Irrisia brought her face down, " We are thinking of going to see Zaco in prison. Do you think that is a good idea?"" Yes, we need to see him to know what his games are. But I won't advise you to go and see him." he quickly said and took a se
Darius and the rest of the crew immediately delve into action. They needed to find Zaco and Xavier fast. And with the help of Shades now, they were impossible to find. " Eddy, can you help track down Zaco and Xavier? We need to find them as soon as possible. Max's life is at stake at the moment. We can't afford to slack away right now." Darius said, looking at the rest of the crew l." I can't track them at the moment. I have tried even before you ask me but it looked like Shades had been cloaking all their activities."Dino looked at them as they went on and on trying to arrive at a solution. Then suddenly an idea crept into his mind. " Xavier!"The crew turned around to look at him. " Dino, are you saying something?" " Yes! Yes! That is the key. We need to find Xavier first. I am sure he would be able to know how to find them."" how do we find him?" Zico asked." I will try finding him my way. You should try yours too." Dino immediately walked out of the hideout leaving Darius a
Darius and his crew were surprised to find themselves in an entirely new world." What is going on?" They were surprised. They saw Irrisia who was also looking lost. Suddenly they heard a sound.[ Ting! ][Task: Find Max; Task Reward; $400,000]" I think we need to find Max and fast." Eddy said, as he looked at his phone." How do we do that? It is not like we know where the fuck he is." Amy replied.They all looked at Eddy. “Why are you looking at me? I don't know, I have anything to work with. So, you all would have to think of a way out without me coming to the rescue." " Right, let's try my gym house. I am sure that would be where Max would go first if he was in this world. He would go to my gym house first." They all followed Darius as they walked to his gym house. " Woah! I can't believe this existed." Amy exclaimed going through some files on the table " Amy, check the CCTV for me and try to see if there is anything out of the ordinary," Darius commanded.Amy sat down and st
As they caught their breath, Max looked at his team with pride. "We've faced darkness within and without, and we've emerged stronger every time. Together, we are unstoppable."[ Ting! ]All the members looked at their phones and were surprised to see that the system was asking for a meeting with the superheroes. [ Task: Come with the containment of the darkness. Reward: meeting with the SYSTEM."]All the members looked at each other surprised. " Is this real? Are we meeting the person assigning us the task all this while?" Irrisia asked with disbelief. " There is a possibility that this is it. We might be finally meeting with the enigmatic figure behind who the system is." Max chuckled.They looked at Dr Lin who had been murdered by the darkness. " He deserves a befitting burial. He is a hero." Amy said with sadness in her eyes. Eddy moved close to her, " It will be alright." he said hugging her close to himself.The crew immediately took the containment and also decided to move Za
Darius and Rose found love and immediately decided to put a ring on it. He proposed to Rose in a picturesque setting, surrounded by their fellow crew members. The atmosphere was filled with joy as Rose said yes, sealing their commitment with a heartfelt embrace.The crew celebrated the engagement, bringing a sense of happiness and unity. Max raised a toast, "To love and overcome darkness together."The crew, now a tight-knit family, continued their journey, ready to face new adventures and uncertainties. Love, friendship, and the resilience to stand against the shadows defined their path as they moved forward, bound by the experiences that forged them into heroes. They were stronger in packs as Max continued to lead them.With the extracted darkness securely contained, the crew left the government facility, feeling a mix of relief and uncertainty. Darius and Rose, hand in hand, shared knowing glances as the rest of the crew contemplated the challenges that lay ahead.As they gathered
Zaco let out a cry of pain each time Shades tried to mind-control him. " You are hurting me. Zico, how can you let them do this to me? I am your brother, remember?" He said trying to reach out to Zico but Shades knew it was the darkness talking. " Don't listen to him, Zico. That is not your brother. Just let me do my thing." The doctor came back and immediately ordered them to release the last sleeping gases. Immediately it was released, Zico fell into a long slumber, giving Doctor Lin the chance to inject him. Shades also fell to the ground, as he had lost strength and the crew members gathered around him. " Are you alright?" they all asked showing a concerned look." I will be fine. I can't believe this darkness is still as strong as ever. I think he could do much harm because the host is damaged and weak. I wonder why it refused to come out." Shades said, cleaning his bloody nose.Doctor Lin injected Zaco with the sleeping pills, carefully monitoring his vitals. The crew gathere
The crew decided to check on Zaco after a few months. As they entered the facility where he was held. Max looked about to see a lot of villains who had been caged for one reason or the other. As they approached Zaco's holding cell. Max looked at Zico, " It is okay if you want to stay back. I will understand." " No, I need to see how he is doing. He might have even been remorseful and decided to turn a new leaf." Zico replied.They were met by Doctor Lin who welcomed them. " Hello, my heroes. How are you doing" he said with a smile." We are all good. We have come to check on Zaco. How is he? How long do you think you can extract the darkness out of him?" Max asked looking at the man before him." Hmm, Max. That is a very great question. Right now we are trying our best to make sure he is powerless and doesn't mind controlling anyone from where he is. The darkness is trying to have full control over his body but the body is weak."" What do you mean by a weak body?" Zico asked." The
Having said all that, Max knelt before Irrisia as everyone looked at him and was surprised to see what he was doing. " Max! What are you doing?" Irrisia asked with a shaky voice.He brought out a ring and looked into her eyes as the other members of the crew stood in admiration "Irrisia, from the moment we faced the darkness together, I realized that you are not just a teammate but the strength that kept me going. Will you marry me?" Max asked, his eyes filled with sincerity.Irrisia caught off guard, felt a mixture of emotions. The crew watched in anticipation, knowing that this moment was a celebration not just for Max and Irrisia but for the bonds they had all formed.Irrisia's eyes welled up with tears as she nodded, "Yes, Max. A thousand times yes." The crew erupted into cheers, celebrating the union of two souls who had faced the depths of darkness and emerged stronger together. Both of them kissed as the crew applauded the couple. It was long overdue as Irrisia had waited for
After the battles against darkness, the crew gathered in a solemn ceremony to honor the memories of those heroes who had lost their lives. A memorial was erected in the heart of the city, a tribute to the sacrifices made for the greater good. Max, Shades, Amy, Irrisia, Eddy, and the rest of the crew stood together, paying their respects. There was a moment of silence throughout the city as many people who didn't even know how the heroes were paid their respect to them. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow on the memorial, Max stepped forward. "We stand here not just as individuals but as a united front against the forces that sought to plunge our world into darkness. Today, we remember those who fought valiantly and gave their lives for the cause. They will forever be remembered and lived on in our hearts."Shades approached the memorial, placing a wreath as a symbol of remembrance. "Their courage will forever be etched in our hearts. As we move forward, let us ca
As Zaco was locked away, the country started to rebuild and the people joined in the building. Most now knowing about the superheroes were in awe and grateful at the same time. They flock around Max and his crew thanking them. " We wouldn't have done it without you guys. Thanks for staying strong." Max said, shaking some of them as they clustered around him. The president called the crew to the presidential villa to thank and award them. A red carpet was rolled out, and the crew walked down it, a mix of exhaustion and pride evident in their expressions. The president stood at the end, ready to express his gratitude."Max, Shades, Amy, Irrisia, Eddy, and the entire crew," the president began, "your bravery and sacrifice have saved countless lives. On behalf of the nation, I want to extend my deepest thanks."As the president presented medals to each member of the crew, the atmosphere was a blend of solemnity and celebration. The public, watching the event live, erupted in cheers and a
The underground lair echoed with the aftermath of the intense battle. Max and Shades stood amidst the remnants of the clash, the air heavy with the residue of energy. Zaco, now freed from the grip of the darkness, knelt on the ground, panting.Shades approached cautiously, his energy still on guard. "Is it over, Max?"Max, exhausted but victorious, nodded. "For now. The darkness has retreated, and Zaco seems to be regaining control. We need to make sure he's not a threat."Zaco looked up, his eyes reflecting a mix of confusion and realization. "What... happened? Where am I?"Max said nothing as he sat down on the bare floor looking at Shades who immediately put Zaco to sleep. " Do you think the darkness is gone?" He asked looking at Max exhausted." I am not sure Shades but I just need us to rebuild and get this person to their families. I am too exhausted to think of any possible outcome right now." Max got up and looked at Shades." What about him? What do we do with him?" Shades as
As the crew worked tirelessly to evacuate the people under Zaco's influence, Max continued his intense battle against the combined forces of Zaco and the darkness. The air crackled with energy as their powers clashed in a fierce struggle.Meanwhile, Shades utilized his unique abilities to break the illusions created by Zaco, freeing those trapped in the dark influence. Rose, Carlos, Amy, and Irrisia assisted in guiding the bewildered individuals toward the exit, ensuring their safety.Eddy, with his tech skills, reinforced the passage created by Max, ensuring a swift and secure evacuation. Darius, now reinvigorated after drinking water, joined the efforts to help people move out.As the last of the captives exited Zaco's lair, Eddy turned to Shades, "We can't leave Max alone in this. We need to find a way to support him."Shades nodded, his focus divided between the ongoing battle and coordinating the evacuation. "I'll join Max. The rest of you, get everyone to safety. We can't let Za
