Chapter 6
Eternal Enemies
The last of the guards fell easily to the intruder's surprise attack. The guards were simple pathetic, they had hardly put up a fight. "Humph they really should teach the police force to deal with super beings". The intruder thought. He walked into a large room that still bore the scars of the great battle had taken place several weeks before. The intruder walked along the catwalk that trailed across the outer edge of the room. He peered at the guards who lied dead on the floor and sneered. He showed no sympathy for them what so ever. The intruder stopped at the base of a large shelf-like structure built into the wall. There the super villains of today's generation stood dormant in their frozen prisons. Plasmas, Cinderblock, Adonis, and the Hive Five save Jinx who went along with Kid Flash they were all here, but the intruder didn't care about them. The intruder was looking for someone specific. The intruder continued down the line of super villains, some that the intruder didn't recognize. "If I was here this battle would have ended in very short order but noooooooo…" The intruder grumbled. The intruder soon stopped at the end of the row. A large saucer with a skull on the front stood frozen a few feet off the ground. Inside it contained the intruder's master. The intruder wasn't entirely happy to have found him. "Well well well look at the mighty Brain now" The intruder chuckled. A sharp pain went through went through the intruder's spine and coursed through his body. The intruder collapsed to the floor in pain. "Alright already I'm on it" The intruder grumbled at his master. The intruder walked over to the machine that had been responsible for freezing the other villains. The intruder placed Brain under the machine and began to type in the commands on the console. Steam vented from the shaft above Brain and collected around him. The intruder mind's felt like mercury had just been poured into it. The steam cleared showing Brain lying on the floor and the tank that held his brain bubbling slightly. "You really should watch those brain freezes" The intruder smirked. "They're a killer".
"Ha ha ha" Brain answered in a metallic voice "you're jokes are about as ingenious as Beast Boys". The intruder began rubbing the back of his neck where the worst of the shock had occurred.
"You know I really hate it when you do that" the intruder said with a sneer.
"I do not care what you hate, now go release Monsieur Mallah" Brain answered coldly. The intruder walked over to where a giant ape stood frozen. The intruder grunted as he pushed the five hundred pound ape to the machine. The process repeated again and Mallah was now released from his icy prison.
"It's about time" Mallah said weak in a weak French accent as he tried to regain strength into his legs. The intruder ignored him and stepped towards Madame Rogue and General Immortus to begin thawing them.
"No!" Brain shouted. The intruder and Mallah turned to Brain in shock. "Leave them; they are of no further use to us". Mallah accepted his master's order and picked Brain up and attached him the belt across his shoulder. "Their incompetence has doomed them to an icy imprisonment; Madame Rogue for her treachery and General Immortus for his inability to turn the tide of battle…". Mallah walked over to a remote section of the room, and uncovered a hidden control panel and typed in several commands. The wall to Mallah's left slid open revealing an underground passage. "…But you may choose some other pawns to bring with us" Brain concluded. The intruder turned to the wall of villains reviewing what each of their powers were and trying to select the best.
"I know just the ones" The intruder smiled. The intruder called forth several platforms to carry their new pawns. Once that was complete the intruder directed the platforms to the tunnel and followed Brain down the dark passage. The intruder turned back to the computer and typed several commands into it. This would disable the monitoring systems and erase anything that had been recorded. Once that was finished, the intruder followed Mallah down the tunnel to their new base.
