I'm going to finish up with the news cast on Cassidy, and just skip inteveiwer about Kyle.

on the TV Cassidy is shown getting sewage dump on as everyone of her classmates that can be seen in the room laughs at her with the popular girl saying

popular: oh come on Cassidy, do you really think we would give the crown, to your stinky behind, we just did that, so we could pull this prank on you. show tell how doesn't it feel to smell like sweage, oh wait you already smell like that, maybe now you will learn to take a birth, oh and Biff never like you, he only pretend to like you so that we could pull this trick on your stinky geeky behind Cassidy!

Biff: that's not true Cassidy, I do like you, and I only want to do a harmless little joke, nothing like this I swear!

Cassidy: save you breath, you bastard, you only pretend to like me, so and your friends could pull a prank on me, and have almost everyone in the entire school laugh at me!!! well you assholes won't think it's so funny was I mangled you all!!!

Jock: guys is it just me are is Cassidy getting bigger, she seems to be putting on muscle all of a sudden out of nowhere.

Cassidy body is then shown changing from a average build to a hulking muscular build, that dwarfs all her male classmates, then the her classmates are seen running in fear as she suddenly grabs Bliff and tosses him so hard that he goes straight through a wall, soars down the school hallway , crashes through he front doors, and into a nearby car breaking his spine. Cassiddy is then shown going on a destructive ramapage, that results in High school's security footage room being demolish, and that is when the footage ends. the CNN Anchorman then appears again on the TV saying in a firm tone.

CNN anchorman: oh yes, a classic examaple of a prank that went to far, reminds me the movie Carrier,and show that footage reminds you the veiwers at home of that movie as well. well before we get to the interveiw about Kyle, here pictures of him, and the rest of the missing Hybrid childern. picture from left to right, Caroline Bandara,Boris Keisler, Ying Waza, Yang Waza , Cassidy Mavlorki, and Kyle Mackain. their main powers are as follow, Caroline - telepathy, Boris - Gyrokinesis , Ying - Photokinesis , Yin - Umbrakinesis, Cassidy- Myokinesis , and Kyle - techokinesis.

on TV a picture of Caroline Bandaina, Boris Keisler, Ying Waza, Yang Waza , Cassidy Mavlorki, & Kyle and Sunnina looks at them saying in a firm tone.

Sunnina: ooh show that's what Sandblock's cousin Caroline looks like, wow that's a odd skin tone violent & her hair is indigo how intresting, and that boy in the picture on the far right has green metallic skin, that's just neat. and yeah that footage did remind me of Carrier, expect Carrier then have a girl that turn into a more muscular version of herself. ( looking at Marahai) now I can see what you mean, by not all people threat Hybrids with respect, the prank that was pull on that poor girl Cassidy in the footage was just wrong.

"people can be cruel Sunnina, people can be cruel. I can definitely empathize with those kids we saw"

"people can be cruel Sunnina, people can be cruel. I can definitely empathize with those kids we saw"

quick interveiw about Kyle is shown, then a recap of Boris & Caroline is shown as Sunnina says.

Sunnina: wow the only person didn't have it bad was Sandblock's cousin Caroline, it seems that her school actually attempt to help her, poor girl it must be awful to suffer from such a awful headache, with the people around her able to offer any help. and that's some headache she has it doesn't even seem that Tyleno works. I would say that Boris guy is punk, but that newscaster on the TV said ,that Boris comes from abusive home where he lives with a dad who's drunk nearly most of the time , and was abused to his mother, who is pill addict. he's not nearly as victim as those 2 teenage girls Yin & Yang, but i can empathize with him, cause it sounds like he had lousy upbringing.

as for that Kyle kid, it seems that he tired to use his power to operated multiple electrons at once, only to have the electrons in question back fire on him, and large group of people getting mad at him for it. that interveiwer had a lot of people blaming that kid for ruining a electronic gaming convention.

The girls continued their battle with the alien monstrosity, firing up at the tentacles as they whipped around and struck at them. They dived for cover but they were running out of options. Kastagier and Truin fired upon a tentacle from one side and Duchess and Garona fired up at it from another with Drusilla and Trigger attacking from the front. They were chipping away at the tentacle and causing the creature pain. The tentacles soon retracted into the sky but then shot down all at once towards the girls and began whipping around. The girls ran for cover but Drusilla and Trigger were struck by the tentacles and sent flipping through the air. They crashed against the ground, seriously hurt from the tentacles strikes. One of the tentacles smacked Garona away and bound itself around Duchess and began constricting her. However, she had one arm free and used a laser knife she had picked up from one of the Seekers and began hacking at it. Kastagier and Truin were struck by the tentacles and sent flying before being bound and constricted. Duchess and Trigger picked themselves up and fired up at the monster but their weapons just weren't strong enough. It looked like it was all over...Then, they came. Captain Justice and Union Jack flew down from the sky and attacked the tentacles assaulting their friends. Captain Justice fried the tentacles holding Kastagier and Truin with heat vision that went right through one tentacle and into another, freeing both women. He caught them. "Hi. I'm Captain Justice. Sorry I'm late."

"What the.... Jack? Are you?" Truin asked.

"Yes, sorry we're late Truin. It is good to see you again." Union Jack said to her.

"Oh...it's alright....thank you...for saving me again."

"Are you...A Quasarian?" Kastagier asked Captain Justice.

"Yeah.......kind of a long story." The heat vision caused the monster to roar in pain while Jack raced over to the tentacle over to the one holding Duchess and punched into it, causing the monster's blood to spurt out of it. It did get all over him, but saving his teammate came first. He ripped off the lower part of the tentacle and it unwound from Duchess. Jack flew down next to her. "Are you okay?"

"...You're late....but yeah." She said, happy to breathe again. Drusilla rested against a log and gave a thumb's up to them. "So where are the others?"

"Currently taking out the control towers. There was this one guy with a hood who said he wanted to deal with the man in charge personally."

Trigger smiled, knowing that the man behind this was dead now. She then remembered something. "It's still not over! The tentacles change into monsters when torn off!"

Captain Justice turned around and looked at the horrific abominations that were now forming. "Oh. That's a nice trick." He said before frying them with heat vision.

Union Jack smashed the one that attacked him. "You all have been fighting this thing since before we got here, what do you know?"

"That's it's huge, has tentacles, can separate itself and it's loud." Drusilla listed.

"Right then.....Jack, you thinking what I'm thinking?" Captain Justice asked as he looked up at it.

"Let's do it."

The two superheroes flew into the sky to bring the fight to the monster. They punched the creature's face, pushing the monster back up into the clouds and now got a good look at it.

It was, to put it lightly, an abomination. The creature had the face of an old man but twisted and horrifying and twisted in a permanent grimace. The rest of it was mostly just a head with tendrils but they were all over the creature. Some of them stretching out to attack, some twitching and all of them hundreds of feet long and wide and grey. The creature did not appear to have eyes in the normal sense of the word, just two pitch black soulless orbs. Orbs that were larger then the two heroes. It let out a roar of rage and pain, it's mouth seemed almost human if not for impossibly huge it was. "What the hell is this thing?" Captain Justice asked. "I don't know, but we're taking it down!" Union Jack said. The two pushed forward and punched the abomination in the face. The tentacles that made up the creature's body sprung into action and began whipping out at the heroes. They avoided the tentacles and alternated between punching/blasting at them and striking at the monster to wear it down. Since the monster's body was made from the tendrils, they primarily focused on dodging.

Down on the ground, the girls looked up at the sky, barely able to see the battle, only able to see flashes of red light and shockwaves from their punches.

"So, who are they?"

"Captain Justice and Union Jack. Heroes from Earth who came from space." Drusilla said. "I'm actually more interested in how Truin knows them."

"Not both of them, just Union Jack. It goes back years ago. He saved me when I was a child." Truin said. "I'll explain later."

Drusilla nodded. "So I see. Are you injured?"

"I've had worse. Yourself?"

"Bruise ribs. Nothing I haven't beaten before."

"So, tell me, if they are here....does that mean there are others?" Kastagier asked.

Duchess grinned. "Oh yeah, lots of others. We'll be out of here soon."

"And the men who abducted us?"

"Dead as doornails."

At the control tower, the group tore through the alien guards. Patriot charged forward, deflecting lasers from multiple guns with his sword as he did. It was a valuable trick, one he had mastered back in WW1 after years of sword training. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Keres charging as well and slashing at the creatures. The two blitzed forward and began slashing at the guards. They attacked as one, a result of their centuries of teamwork. They hacked and slashed at the guards, tearing through them like they were nothing. Sam Singer, a.k.a. Dark Falcon, dodged the fire from the aliens and tossed her knives out, striking at the creature's throats. The aliens gurgled on their own blood as they died. Ghost simply phased through their shots as he ran forward, a knife in his hand. He stabbed at the aliens by turning solid for a moment and then phasing his hand again. Marnie fired on the aliens with her rifle, headshotting aliens and taking them out as well.

Soon, they reached the main control room and took out the aliens guarding it. "Alright, control room is secured." Patriot said. "Marnie, the next part is up to you."

"Right." Marnie said and handed her rifle to Ghost and sat down. She looked over the computer. "Okay....yeah, I can do this." She popped her knuckles and began working.

"Alright. The rest of us are to guard this room. Nobody gets in!" Patriot said. "Me and Keres will stand outside and be the front line. Ghost, you turn invisible and phase into the ground. You'll be able to take them down before they even see you."

"Yes sir." Ghost said and phased himself out the door.

Patriot and Keres followed him. "Dark Falcon, you're in charge here."

"Yes sir!"

Marnie began working on disabling the doomsday devices.

At Mogo's, he was in his office and gathering his papers and files and money chips. "Damn...damn...damn...what the hell is going on! My plans...my show...my ratings...it's all falling apart!" He said and finished packing. "This isn't over. You hear me? Not over. I'll rebuild, that's what I'll do. I'll rebuild and come back better then ever." He assured himself as he ran for the door. "Is the ship ready?"

"Yes sir. We have it prepped and ready to go."

"Good. Let's go!"

Mogo and his guards ran for it. They ran and ran down the hallway only to run into pitch black darkness. "What the hell?! Where are the lights?" Mogo asked.

A scream of terror as one of the guards was ripped to shreds by an unseen force. Then his other guard screamed as well as he was crushed into a ball.

"What is happening?" He demanded.

"You. You are the one who captured my friend Trigger aren't you?" A voice asked.

"Wh-who wants to know?"

Something struck him in the face, launching Mogo into and through a wall. He spit out green blood. "Who's there? Listen, I have money. Lots of it! I can make you filthy rich! You'll live like a king for the rest of your life! I-" Mogo was silenced by a boot to the head. "Your money is of no interest to me. Now your screams on the other hand..." Mogo was lifted up into the air by his shirt. "Those will be something to savor."

Back on the planet, Captain Justice and Union Jack battle with the monster. Having torn apart most of it's tentacles, they had rendered the monster defenseless. Justice flew up to the monster and punched it into the sky, miles away from them. Union Jack was waiting for it and punched it again, batting the monster away like a tennis ball. Justice intercepted it and punched the creature in the face. It roared in agony and suddenly spikes began growing all along the monster's body. "What?" Justice flew backwards to get some distance. Union Jack flew beside him. "It's evolving. This thing must adapt to survive after enough injury." "Meaning we have to take it down fast."

The two heroes nodded to each other and flew at the monstrosity, each of them plunging into the creature's eyes and up into it's brain. The creature roared it's last as they burst out of it's skull. The dead monster plummeted down to the planet below. Captain Justice flew down under it and caught it before it hit the ground, then set aside so it wouldn't cause a major earthquake on landing. "And that's what you get for hurting our allies." He said as Union Jack touched down next to him.

At the control room, Marnie had finished disabling the bombs on the various planets. "O-Kay, we are good to go. The planets are safe now."

"What about the others?" Sam asked.

"Tracking...tracking...a-ha! Found them. Dru, Duchess, Justice, Jack and some others. They all seem to be okay. I can transport them here now."

"Do it."

Marnie nodded and her hands flew over the keys as she activated the computer's teleport system. The heroes on the planet were teleported into the room with them.

"What the...now where are we?" Drusilla asked.

Justice and Jack looked around and smiled as they saw Marnie. "You did it."
"We all did it. How did the fight go?"
"Oh, nothing big, just another monster." Captain Justice assured them.

Truin walked over to Union Jack and hugged him. "Thank you. You saved me again."
"You don't have to thank me Truin." He assured her.
"Yes I do."

Drusilla held an arm on her ribs as she walked over to Sam. "Thanks for the save."
"Thank Marnie. She did all the hacking. I just helped escort her."
"Thanks all the same."

"These are the friends you spoke of?" Kastaiger asked.
"Yes. We're Maximum Order. A military group from Earth. I am Patriot Man, this is Ghost, Dark Falcon, Keres and Marnie Montgomery. You've met Drusilla already."
"I see, and these two?" She gestured to Captain Justice and Union Jack.
"Superheroes. Members of The Legion of Justice and The Protectors respectively. Duchess is also a member of the Protectors."
"I see. You Earthlings really are incredible."
Duchess smiled. "Thanks."

"So what's left?" Captain Justice asked.
"We go after the man in charge here."
Trigger had a feeling that he had already been taken care of, but agreed to follow them just to see his remains. The group headed to the viewing room, helping the wounded as they did.

They arrived at the viewing room to find that the aliens who had been watching their fight had been torn apart. Mogo was laying in the middle of it all, badly hurt, but alive.
Ace was sitting on the stage waiting for them.

Union Jack stepped forward and Duchess raised her weapon but Ace held up a hand. "Hold it. I didn't come here to fight you two. I'm just here to pick up Trigger." He vanished into a shadow and popped up next to her. "Our business here is concluded. Do with him what you want."

[Legato]

Ace went Batman on Mogo's ass!!! With a touch of Rorschach. Good job man

I got the idea from his shadow powers.
Glad you liked it.

Ace is top dog, in top form

Trigger checked her guns as they left. "Thanks" was all she said, all that was needed to be said between them.

Inside the Hollow Realm, a place between the real world and the outer realm Trigger felt something unsettling that it made the hairs of the back of her neck stand on end. She felt Ace grab hold of her gently then said"Till we make it to Labyrinth I would request that you close your eyes"

Captain Justice watched them leave. "Catch you later." He said before turning his attention back to Mogo. He walked over and picked him. "So, this little runt is the one responsible for abducting you all AND placing the bombs on the planets?" He shook him.

"H-huh? Wha-HEY! Who are you?"
"Captain Justice and you sir, have a lot to answer for." He gave him a toss to the middle of the group. "Start talking: Who are you and why did you do all of this?"
Mogo had some trouble breathing after the beating he took but was able to answer. "R-ratings..."
"Ratings?" Drusilla asked. "You mean...television ratings?"
"Yeah, yeah that's it....you're Earthlings right? I'd think you of all creatures could understand." Mogo said.
Drusilla raised her gun arm. "That is it! I'm blowing his brains out!"

"That isn't the only reason" Mal spoke" He was talking with a with someone who wanted to buy you ladies off should you survive the Death Watch contest. From the sounds of things The Emperor was interested in your talents"

A visibly upset Duchess said to Mogo while gripping her bow tight" So just to be clear, you not only kidnap us for some life or death reality show but you were trafficking us to the emperor"

"Woah..h-hey now...j-j-just let me explain okay? It was just business, that's all!"

"Dibs on his kneecaps." Drusilla said.

Justice turned to Union Jack. "Isn't there some space prison we can put him in?"

[Kevin M.]

Trigger nodded. Be glad to, i don't know WHAT that was but it felt pretty eerie

sure

I'll draw it up tomorrow. Going to bed now.
