Class activities commenced and soon Irrisia's accident was soon forgotten. The students all went about their daily activities forgetting anything that happened that morning. It was during lunchtime when Zaco gathered his friends and were talking. " have you heard anything from Eddy? I mean he didn't come to school and we haven't seen him since our fight." Mark asked, looking at Zaco at the round table before them." he had better run because I will skin him alive if I eventually catch him. I went into surgery because of him. Something that has never happened to me before. Besides, Irrisia can walk again. That is strange." Zaco said, sipping his drink." I think Max can now afford the best doctor to look after his supposed girlfriend. Haven't you noticed that he is rich now?" Jason teased Zaco making him look at him angrily." I wonder what she is having underneath that skirt," Zaco replied to Jason who smiled mischievously.Meanwhile, amid the bustling school atmosphere, Max and Irri
As the tension escalated between Max, Eddy, and Zaco, the school courtyard became a battleground of words and unresolved issues. Irrisia stood by Max's side, her presence lending strength to the trio facing Zaco's menacing aura. " There is nothing you can do to Eddy as long as he is with me, You better deal with it. Besides, you had it coming." Max said looking at Zaco who was now angry. " So, you think you are untouchable because you are now having some little cash in your pocket. I wonder where you get that money from? We will see how long it's going to last." Zaco said with a grin and worked out on the trio. Eddy was relieved. He looked at Max and smiled " You just saved me, I am forever indebted to you." He said with relief.Suddenly, Irrisia felt a subtle vibration from her pocket. Max looked at her as she stared at her phone.[Ting!] She retrieved her phone to find a message from the system:[ "Task assigned: Uncover Zaco's true motives and expose his deceit. Gather evidence d
Zaco stormed into his luxurious penthouse, frustration etched across his face. His twin brother, Zico, lounged on a leather couch, looking up from his phone with a raised eyebrow. "What's eating at you, Zaco? You look like you've seen a ghost," Zico remarked.Zaco, seething with anger, didn't waste any time. "Irrisia is still alive, and she can walk!" he spat out the words, watching as shock registered on Zico's face.Zico leaned forward, his casual demeanor replaced by genuine surprise. "What? How is that possible? We made sure she'd never walk again."Zaco paced the room, recounting the encounter in the school courtyard, where Max, Eddy, and Irrisia stood united against him. "She was supposed to be crippled, but there she was, standing tall. Max and Irrisia are up to something, and I won't let them ruin my plans."Zico's eyes narrowed, "You've been underestimating them, Zaco. Maybe it's time you reconsider your approach."Zaco glared at his brother, refusing to accept any form of cr
Eddy, still nursing his injuries from the brutal encounter orchestrated by Zaco, couldn't shake off the curiosity that lingered in his mind. Max and Irrisia, despite their attempts to keep him in the dark, were hiding something significant. As they retreated to a safer place after the confrontation, Eddy mustered the strength to voice his concerns."Max, Irrisia, what the hell is going on? Why did Zaco specifically target me, and why do you two seem to be at the center of all this chaos?" Eddy demanded, his eyes searching for answers. He knew they were hiding something from him and he was trying his best to know what it was.Max exchanged a glance with Irrisia, realizing that the time had come to reveal at least part of the truth to Eddy. Irrisia took a deep breath and began, "Eddy, there's more to our lives that meets the eye. We are involved in something complicated, something beyond personal conflicts. We have a task, assigned by a mysterious system, and it involves unraveling Zaco
The thought of Irrisia being alive filled Zico's head. " How did she survive the accident? I am sure I rammed her over with the car. Even if she is alive, I am sure she would be crippled. So how come?" Zico kept asking himself. He hated unfinished jobs. The thought of him failing Zaco lingered in his thoughts. " I need to finish this for good. I can't risk letting the secret out of the bag." Zaco was inside the penthouse as Zico was lost in thought. Zaco looked at him "What is on your mind?" he asked." Don't worry brother, I just need to clear my head. Because I still don't understand how Irrisia was able to walk after that fatal accident. I need to confirm for myself." Zico insisted.Zaco looked at him and grinned " Do you think I would lie to you over something like that? I saw her walk alright." Zaco told his twin brother again. " And lest I forget, I want you to lay low for some time now. I don't want things to get complicated. I can handle things from here." Zaco said taking
Eddy sat alone in his room as he pondered on what was going on between Zaco, Max, and now Irrisia who has been drawn into the picture since Max asked her out to be his supposed girlfriend. " It doesn't make any sense. Well, let's assume they are at loggerheads because of Tiffany. But now, Max is buoyant and can afford any woman he wants. He could even afford to pay Irrisia her bills for disguising herself as his girlfriend. But where the hell is the money coming from? At least he claims to be an orphan and I haven't seen any of his parents or siblings." Eddy kept wondering and soliloquizing to himself. He wanted to know more about Max but there was no time to find out. Max was always busy with his life and he is now having Zaco to contend with. Besides, they were in their final year and will be graduating in no time. Zaco continued to have people investigate Max while Max was always on the lookout to know more about Zaco's plans and movements too. Both were ready to know each other's
Aimy pleaded for her life telling Zaco she had seen nothing and would not divulge any information to either Darius or Max. " I promise, I won't talk about this with anyone. I will keep my mouth sealed." Aimy figured as Zaco walked up to her seat. He carefully placed his hands over her shoulder. " you see my dear Aimy, you need to be gone for my plan to work. I can't have you ruin everything I have fought so hard to build and am sure Zico wouldn't want that either." Zaco said going out of the dark room. Aimy tried to free herself, she made some squeak sound as she tried to loosen the tied ropes around her hands. The rope came off leaving marks all over her wrist. Amy sighed and carefully removed the blindfold on her face. She was able to look around the room where she was kept as a captive. Zack left the door unlocked because he believed Aimy could never free herself.Amy's heart raced as she surveyed the dimly lit room, her eyes adjusting to the newfound freedom from the blindfold. T
Aimy was able to escape Zico's cages after some weeks. As she navigated her way through the street, the car hirn barred at her. She was confused and didn't know where she was. Aimy couldn't see well at first because she had been kept indoors for a long time. " Will you get off the road?" a man shouted in annoyance at her. Aimy came back to her senses and knew she had to go and see Darius. As she was about to call a taxi she thought to herself " Is it safe to go and talk to him? Zico knows where I work and he could always find me anytime he wants. I better get to the hospital first and check on my grandmother." Aimy thought to herself and ordered the taxi to go straight to the hospital. She was on her way to see her grandmother after being called to the hospital. Zico used the opportunity to abduct her. " Who knows it might even be Zico who made a false alarm to her so she can leave her work." Amy thought again.After Zico and Zaco were done talking. Zico told his twin brother of his
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
