All this while Eclipse had been digging about Max and nothing was forthcoming. He called Scarlet. " I don't think we can uncover anything through tech. We need to move closer to Max and his crew if we are going to uncover anything about them. Besides, it is high time I pay a visit to the brothers. Arrange a meeting with Zaco and Zico. I need to fill them in on what is going on." Eclipse said over the phone."Okay. I would tell them as soon as I can reach Zaco on the phone." Scarlet replied, " Time is of the essence, we need to tie all loose ends and make sure we initiate our plan before we are discovered." Eclipse said and hung up the call.Scarlet looked at her phone and dropped it. She was smoking her cigarette and she hated being disturbed when she did. " Hello Zaco, Eclipse just called and he needs to see you and your twin brother ASAP, we can't afford a delay. I will text you the location and where to meet up. Don't waste time." before Zaco could say anything over the phone she h
"Stay put and don't leave the car even if you see me getting shot at," Zaco warned Tiffany who nodded. She looked scared as the men in black suits advanced towards their car. They immediately sprayed everywhere with gases making Zaco, Zico and Tiffany fall asleep."Who are you?" was all Zaco could say before he fell asleep. " Where the hell are we?" Zico asked, looking around the luxurious building, they found themselves in. " I think that is the least of our worries right now. What the hell are we doing here and what do they want from us? I think Max had us kidnapped. This can only be his handiwork." Zaco said with a smirk. " I don't think Max is capable of doing such. He would rather let the law play out." Tiffany added." Are you with me on this or against me?" Zaco asked, looking at Tiffany. They were arguing when the door flung open and two hefty men came into the little room they were locked up in. Zico immediately went into action, he was able to knock out the two men and bec
Meanwhile, Max and his crew are trying their best to locate the hideout of the super soldiers but all their efforts are in vain. " I don't think we can do this on our own. We need the help of the system or perhaps the shadow woman." Amy said, exhausted." I think you are right but there is no way we can communicate with the system. It has always been the one contacting us." Darius added.Max, who was also tired, looked at Eddy " Bro, is there any way we can communicate with the system? I mean it would be an advantage for us if we could talk back directly to whoever is behind it." Eddy looked at them and saw they were all tired " Well, there should be a way through our phones. Since they have been getting across to us through them. But give me time to work on my phone and see if I can come up with something." " Time is not what we have Eddy, we need to act fast before this set of soldiers are unleashed on the world. Think of what they would all do with that ability of theirs. I don't
As Max, Darius, and Eddy left the house, Amy and Irrisia shut the door behind them and immediately tracked their movement over the tech given to them by Eddy. " I pray this mission is successful." Amy sighedIrrisia looked at her " Don't worry, they will be back in no time." She said reassuring Amy.*************Zaco and Zico, still seated at the table, kept looking at Seraphina. " About these robotic humans, why is it that I was the only one with these abilities? And why is Zico not like me?" Zaco asked.Seraphina looked at him and began to tell a story "Your parents were rich and famous. Your mother had a delay at birth. So, when she found out she was carrying a twin, she was so happy that she couldn't wait to have them brought into the world but on the day of her delivery there were complications. One of the children couldn't survive on his own. That was when your father came to us for help. Although he was rich, money couldn't save you, Zaco. You were immediately turned into a hu
Max looked at Darius "We need to split up. Eddy try and gather any intel you can lay hands on and Darius we need to end the activities here." They all split up heading in different directions. Max followed Seraphina's trial trying to see if he could catch up with her. As the alarm kept blaring, many men in suits came out of different directions to attack Max, Darius, and Eddy. " What the hell?" Darius exclaimed as they both jammed together at a meet point. " This house is like a fucking maze." Eddy said with his back pinned against Max and Darius." We need to fight our way out or we are going to die here," Max replied. The men in the suit charge against Max and his friends. Max, Darius, and Eddy swiftly engaged the approaching men in suits. The dimly lit corridors became a battleground as punches were thrown, kicks landed, and the clash of metal echoed through the maze-like structure. Eddy utilized his technical gadgets to disable security systems, creating temporary distractions
As Max stood up, an unfamiliar energy radiated from him, sending a ripple through the air. Darius and Eddy watched in awe as Max's demeanor changed, his eyes glowing with intense light. The robotic twins, Zaco and Zico, hesitated for a moment, sensing a shift in the balance of power."You underestimated me, Zaco," Max said, his voice resonating with newfound strength. "I won't let you or Eclipse destroy everything. It's time to end this."With a swift motion, Max unleashed a burst of energy, creating a shockwave that pushed the twins back. The force of the impact cracked the walls and sent a shiver through the entire facility. Darius and Eddy shielded themselves from the aftermath, realizing that Max had tapped into a reservoir of power they hadn't seen before.Zaco and Zico, recovering from the unexpected attack, looked at Max with a mix of shock and disbelief. "What... What just happened?" Zico stammered.Max, now in control of an extraordinary force, advanced toward the twins. "You
" I don't know myself. All I knew was that my body was feeling a kind of energy and I just had to channel it. I had been having this strange feeling but each time it didn't go away." " Don't you think you need to get checked at the hospital? This doesn't look normal to me. Are you sure you are okay?" Darius asked again, trying to make sure Max was alright. " I am fine," Max nodded as he drove his crew back home.As they entered the mansion Amy and Irrisia rushed out of the house to welcome them. " You guys were superb." Irrisia said with a smile. Darius halted the car and came down with Max. " Where is Eddy?" Amy asked. " He should be in the car asleep. I guess he is tired." Irrisia walked towards the car, " Eddy! Eddy!!. He is not answering me" Irrisia shouted scared.Max and Darius rushed toward the car to find Eddy bleeding out. " What the hell? He wasn't hurt when we left the building. So, what the hell happened? Help me with him." Darius told Max and both of them carried him o
As the attack got more vicious, Max tapped into his unknown energy again. This time it was more powerful than before. His whole body radiates this powerful energy. Seraphina looked at Max and was scared " What the hell is happening again? Retreat!" she shouted at once to her robotic soldiers. They all disappeared leaving Max and his crew alone. Amy walked towards Max " Are you alright?" she asked, as she moved closer to him.But before she got any closer, the energy surge within Max pushed her off, sending her against the wall. Amy groaned as blood trickled down her foreheadDarius looked at Max who looked different. " We need to evacuate the building. I don't think this is the Max that we knew." He asked Amy and Irrisa to follow him. As they were about to leave the mansion Max shot some lightning bolts in his hands as Darius, Amy, and irrisia moved closer to the door.As Irrisia was about to place her hands on the doorknob, Darius shouted at her " Don't, the handles are electrocuted
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
