Hello and welcome. Ok, this is definitely the final one, I promise. I probably won't bother with the prequel because it's going to go into this. I would like to thank Lunalovegood4ever for your help as well as anyone who has reviewed in the previous story.
Chapter 1: A dark new world
The world had changed, it only took one day to change the world but the world certainly had changed. People would go to sleep at night thinking that the greatest monsters on earth were a bunch of extremists who killed based on their faith or some rich kid forming a gang of 'super-villains' but now, they're not even the worst...They're not even close. That night back in Maine showed the world that, that a young girl could destroy and entire town and half of New York with only her mind. The world had seen what was out there, what kind of monsters hid in the shadows. There weren't many good people left, the ones who dared look into the shadows were attacked by the monsters that hid inside of them and they lost. A fraternity of monsters in the shadows had torn the light from the world and made it that little bit scarier, the brave fools who dared fight back were nearly gone.
Dave Lizewski, the first hero as people online call him was sat inside his small, dirty van. He was with several others who wore suits that resembled the original Justice Forever team, all of whom are now dead. Battle-Guy was sat there with his riot shield, he was with Ass-Kicker who just stared at the floor. The two of them were former cops who were forced out due to the corruption, they had their way back now. Insect-Man and Nightbitch were in the front of the van, Dave had no idea where these two were from other than that they were eager. Insect-Man was some kind of parkour expert who they found beating some drunk mugger whilst Nightbitch was a former rape victim with way to much anger than she knew how to deal with. Doctor Gravity was stood by the door, he was a baseball player whose girlfriend was killed by some frat boy who didn't realise how drunk he was. They were all angry young people, all had something they needed to get out...All needed a way to let it out.
Doctor Gravity threw the door open and Dave stepped out into the rain. It was coming down hard that night which meant there wouldn't be much night time security but there was still one. Dave pulled out his baton and beat the man unconscious before he even realised what was going on.
"What the fuck?" A second guard asked as he dropped his cigarette. Nightbitch came up behind him and threw him onto the ground where Doctor Gravity smacked him with his bat. They all stood outside a small door which would lead them into a warehouse.
"Get the explosives." Dave said bluntly. There was no expression in his voice, no sign of life or anything.
Inside the warehouse a group of gangsters were going through files on a table. They were collecting them up and making sure that there wasn't anything missing whilst several workers moved containers around. They heard a large explosion and were suddenly alarmed, they pulled out their guns and looked to a door where they could hear gunshots which were quickly silenced. The door burst open and Battle-Guy came running through, blocking the hail of bullets as the other heroes stormed inside with their anger following quickly behind.
The heroes fought the gangsters without restraint, there was no getting out easy. Nightbitch tackled a man to the ground and began to punch him more times than she could count, blood was everywhere but that wasn't important anymore. Dave skipped the gangsters and went straight for the stairs where he began to run up them. A gangster jumped out of the office with a sub-machine gun but before he could fire, Insect-Man climbed up and threw him down the stairs. Dave ran into the office as his ally dealt with the enemy.
The office was small and badly lit, Dave couldn't see a thing. He walked around, keeping his back to the walls and looking for a light switch. He looked around and the lights came on, blinding him in the process.
"Surprise Dave." Chris screamed out as he launched his boot at him, throwing Dave into the wall.
"This is the end Chris." Dave screamed as he jumped forward and swung his batons in the air several times. Chris stepped back but lifted up his robotic arm to block it, he managed to avoid any major damage but Dave pushed the arm down and poked Chris in the face with the second baton.
"Come on then...Make it worth it." Chris said as he spat out a tooth. His wide, bloody grin reminded Dave of the Magician which just made him more angry.
The heroes had finished downstairs and were collecting up their evidence. They had dragged the fallen into a corner and had begun their inspection into what they were up to. As they did, Chris came flying through the office window and hit the floor. He crawled around for a little bit but was out of energy, he coughed up his blood as Dave slowly walked up to him, dripping blood from his batons.
"It's over." Dave said to the wounded Chris who had then fell unconscious. Dave looked at his enemy, the man who made his life hell and had to resist the urge to kill him, something that was even harder than taking him down.
"Kick-Ass." Ass-Kicker said as he went through a tablet that had been left on the table. Dave walked over and took the tablet, he placed it back onto the table and took a deep breath. On the tablet was the symbol for the Fraternity, the eye inside of a bell.

Carrie White, the prom queen as she was referred to on the internet absolutely hated the world and everything inside of it. She had a weird family, a very quirky one as she liked to think of it. Her mother was an insane schizophrenic who tried to kill her and her father was a cold hearted mercenary who tried to kill her, at least her parents had something in common.
She was sat in a small coffee shop in Berlin where she had been waiting for a few hours. She was going through a small notebook she had been filling it, it contained everything she knew about the Fraternity and the people who killed her cousin despite the fact that she still felt responsible, maybe she would pay her price soon enough. She had her eyes on an apartment which was opposite the coffee shop and the man who lived there.
She spent that day preparing for her mission and waiting for the man to return to his rather expensive home. It was getting late into the night and Carrie was making her way to the apartment. She used her powers to force the electric door open and walk straight into the lift that took her straight up to the apartment. She managed to force the door open again where she would wait for the man.
It took him another hour but he managed to stumble in, drunk out of his mind and unable to stand and hold his bladder in. He stumbled his way through the white apartment where Carrie snuck up on him and threw the man onto the sofa. He tried to cry out for help but his mouth couldn't open, Carrie snapped her fingers and all of the lights suddenly came on.
"Where is this man?" Carrie asked as she showed him a picture of Stephen, her father. The man was afraid, he clearly didn't know anything but she was given his name.
"He doesn't know who that is...He doesn't know anything." Rachel said. Carrie looked around, panicking but she wasn't inside of the room. Carrie looked at the man, he was a banker for a mercenary who she had heard was linked with the Fraternity.
"Where are you?" Carrie said as she looked at the drunk banker. He was dead, his heart had stopped beating and his eyes had the life sucked out of them.
"I'm everywhere." Rachel said. Carrie knew this was telepathy but she knew she was being watched but from where?

Stephen was stood in one of the hotel rooms. He was watching the footage on his phone and quickly put it into his pocket, trying to hide the anger on his face. He turned around to see his sister on her computer. She has become a permanent guest at the hotel ever since Mindy died, he needed to keep an eye on her.
"What was that?" Kathleen asked as she put the computer down. Stephen looked around the room, all he could notice was the dozen pictures of Marcus and Mindy. He looked at a small mirror on the side and snarled at his grey hair.
"The Squash court has been refurbished, you should book a game." Stephen said. He rubbed his hands a little, he didn't like the photos. He looked at one on the side which was of him and Marcus sharing a beer.
"Was it about..You know?" Kathleen asked, barely able to hold in the tears.
"Kathleen, sister….I will bring Mindy's killer to justice." Stephen said as he handed her a handkerchief. He wrote down a time for Squash and handed it to her before leaving.
He walked into a corridor and strolled down and up to a bannister where he looked down onto a lobby. He was inside a hotel and people were coming in and out but he tapped his finger against the wood, looking over his empire. He walked downstairs and into a large room.
The room had a large table where at least twenty people were sat around it, all looking at him. They were all wearing suits that cost more money than most cars, everything was in place for them. They stared at Stephen like a soldier stares at a general.
"Welcome brothers, sisters….The Mother Fucker has been taken by Justice Forever." Stephen explained. He sat down and opened up a folder, everyone did the same as him.
"How have they been allowed to live this long?"Vice President Charles Palmer asked. He was only in office thanks to the Fraternity, he considered himself one of them rather than the pawn that he actually was.
"Justice Forever have their use to us. We need to get Chris out of there before he spills some of our secrets." Nastavnik explained. He was Stephen's second in command and closest thing he has to a friend at the moment.
"Just kill the little shit." Michael said. He was a top military scientist who helped Stephen obtain his powers after he was nearly killed by Edward Chow a couple of decades ago. Everyone started to raise their voice and talk over each other which angered Stephen.
"Calm down everyone...We'll send in...Magician." Stephen said as he raised his hand. He wrote it down in his book and was a little worried, he knew who this Magician was.
"You sure that's wise? After last time?" An aging woman asked. She owned several banks all over the world and a lot of people were in debt to her, mainly politicians.
"I never thought I'd say this but the old one was a little more easier to deal with." Nastavnik commented under his breath but everyone heard it anyway and they agreed.
"Magician will be able to get away with it, I'll send a few Hunters to keep an eye on him...Keep him focused." Stephen said as he jotted that again in his notebook. He took a deep breath, he didn't want to do what he was about to do.

Carrie walked into a small basement underneath a church. The room was filled with photos of various people and documents she had printed off about the Fraternity, there was nothing that she could use as evidence but everything helped her. She walked through the room and glanced at a picture of her and Mindy, only looking at it for a second.
"Carrie, we got Chris...We're gonna start interrogating him, maybe you could get some answers." Dave said over the answering machine.
Carrie didn't care though, she had other things to worry about. She looked at her board, examining the pictures thoroughly and making sure that there was nothing she missed, she knew who her targets were. They had Chris but she needed Michael Driskill and Charles Palmer, the assassins like Magician and Rachel but most of all, she needed the puppet master….She needed, the Dead Hunter.

Sue Snell, she was one of the investigative journalists that didn't have a place in a major paper yet, she was doing freelance work and keeping to the streets ever since she started to look into the Fraternity. She strolled down a street at night, always watching her back but sometimes that wasn't even enough. This was different though, she had discovered something that she knew had got her noticed which made her even more terrified.
"You're a difficult woman to find Sue." A mysterious voice whispered. Sue turned around to see Nemesis stood there, one of the top assassins for the Fraternity.
"Nemesis." Sue whimpered as she took a step back. she reached into her pocket for that taser she had but she knew it wouldn't be enough to stop him. Nemesis pulled out his pistol and lined it up with her head, ready to take the shot.
Before Nemesis could pull the trigger he was hit by another bullet, this one was big and powerful, tearing a hole through Nemesis and throwing him to the ground. He jumped up and fired twice as Sue hid behind a dumpster.
"Who's there?" Nemesis yelled as he pulled out a grenade, ready to escalate the battle. Three more bullets crashed through his chest and threw Nemesis to the ground once more. He chucked the grenade and crawled away as quickly as he could. Sue picked up the grenade and threw it into the dumpster.
"Who is there?" Sue asked as she recovered from the explosion. She looked into the shadows where she saw a man dressed in black tactical armour and a damaged golden mask step out, he was holding some kind of rifle that was bigger than his arm.
"Don't you remember me Sue? After all that time we spent together?" The man in the golden mask said as Sue realised who it was.
Well I hope you enjoyed so please review. I really want to know what you think and how it should go? The next few chapters will focus on Nemesis, what would you like to see happen? What do you think of the new Justice Forever and how everybody acts? Until next time, have fun.
