"The clock was clicking, the two heroes and villains were right now on their separate missions in trying to save Lex from a grizzly transformation of her becoming a mantis monster female killer. To which in order to stop this would be to have both Rex and Devizo receive the power retardant from the island which can stop Lex, while Comet and Renegade would retrieve the gauntlets as well repair them so that they could use a power from them in which they could remove the mantis power out of her. Though it be quite the challenge since Agony had placed the gauntlets in a maximum security vault to which it was guarded by none other then Optimo Rex. Since the idea of them going to retrieve the same weapons that kicked everyone's ass, so they had to be locked up. Remove it's dangerous powers as well destroy them so they don't get used by any other mad villain. This was a serious mission they were in, as well Comet seeing how this was against the principal he stood for. However this was to help Lex from becoming a powerful threat to the world, so it didn't exactly meant he was betraying everything he grew up to. Still Lex's life was on the line, and he couldn't let her be consumed by the mantis transformation."


The desert

Continuing to fly towards the base of where the gloves might be, Comet was carrying Renegade to the base let alone of how far the gloves were going be at. During the flight the two remain silent let alone not knowing what could happen, they were going up against the military base with that of Optimo Rex. Who was as strong as the original Rex as well more of a drone then a free thinker, the two land near the front of the base as they were hiding behind some rocks.

Renegade: "Alright, I've seen this type of security before. They'll have some special heavy arms forces let alone of snipers. I'll take out the snipers while you.."

Before he could say anything, the human looked at the alien who was looking at his nebula helmet. To which he felt like he betrayed his family, the citadel let alone of his dad. Though right now, he tried to figure out what he was doing was right. Before he could say anything to get focused, he gets slapped him in face hard as well making the teen look at the mercenary.

Comet: "What the shit?!"

Asking the armored man in which Renegade removed his helmet seeing how this pity moment was ridiculous let alone not the time for it.

Renegade: "Were right now in the mist of a government facility, about to take on a squad of Agony's men. And you decide to feel like a wuss?"

Talking down at him like Obsidian, though this was his life let alone of the fact he was doing this for Lex. Looking at him, he placed his helmet on as well cracks his knuckles let alone looking ready.

Comet: "I'm not wussing out, it's fact that this isn't for me. But for Lex, and I need to get ready. So if you care for your student like I care for my girlfriend. Then let's stop talking and do this."

Getting serious in which Renegade smiled at him, getting his helmet on. The two looked at how the men were continuing to watch over the perimeter let alone for any signs of intruders, seeing how the alien might be on his ass for killing. Renegade used some special tranquilizer darts for snipers as they quickly descended onto the ground. Though in that moment Comet made a powerful ice slide making the passed out men drop onto the ground, the men with the machine guns noticed that of a flying armored alien teen charging right at them.

"Halt! You are to stand..."

"Why the fuck are you saying that to the guy who can fly and shoot fire and ice. Shoot them!"

One of the soldiers interrupting the other trying to talk in a superior like tone, however before they could get a clean shot. Comet fired a ice beam at the two of them making them freeze right onto the ground, landing on the ground he sends a fiery like energy blast at the door melting a passage way though it. Renegade rushing in, he and the alien went through the hallway as well see that of several armed men as well aiming their rifles at the two.

Renegade: "I got this, cover your breath."

Speaking to Comet as he pulled out a small knock out grenade, he throws it by their legs in which it explodes as well surrounds the hallway in that of smoke. In the moment of confusion, the hired mercenary rushed in and begins knocking men out left to right while for Comet. He flew upwards as well looked around to see if there was a map here, let alone of trying to find where the gauntlets might have been taken.

Comet: "They have to be in a security lab, let alone somewhere that would be extracting the powers of the villains."

Figuring out that there had to a special room to where the gauntlets might be getting extracted, let alone of where that it might be happening. As the alien was trying to figure out where they needed to head to, he heard the sounds of some bones breaking in which he turns around seeing that of Renegade breaking some of the men's bodies.

Renegade: "What, there alive but they'll know that it be good to take a vacation."

Seeing that the men should spend there moments somewhere peaceful then between him as well their goal to help Lex, Comet shaking his head to the violent warrior the two were able to hear that of some mechanical like whizzing going on. Following the sound let alone of where it might be coming from, heading to where the sounds might be coming from. They saw a set of strong doors blocking their entrance, to which Comet looked at the control panel in which Renegade was lucky enough to take a badge and swipe it across the panel. The doors open up to show that of white laboratory as well different types of computers how scans of the gauntlets.

Comet: "This make things easier, we can find a power that will allow us to extract Lex's Mantis DNA so she doesn't transform."

Checking out the computers as well looking if there was one that could do that, Renegade did the same in which he looked at the damaged gloves. It looked impossible for this to work, let alone of getting both of them to work. To which if they could get the gloves active, they could use one since Lex's claws destroyed the right gauntlet.

Renegade: "Hey kid, better speed it up. We might be getting some clone trouble coming."

Which he was looking at a monitor seeing that of none other then reinforcements coming, which was in the form of Optimo Rex. Looking to where the power he was looking for, it belonged to that of syphon the leech. Seeing the gloves still hooked up to wires, all he needed was to download the power into that one glove so that it could work.

Comet: "Alright, this Syphon power will allow us to take out Lex's DNA. It should be strong enough to help us."

Completing the download of the power into the stable glove that was still operational, as the peacekeeper was continuing this action. Renegade, noticed something rather fascinating. Several capsules with the abilities of the villains that were in the gloves, they had been taken out as well put in them. This place was going weaponize the powers, to which something he wasn't going to allow. Grabbing several of the capsules he was going to sell them in which Comet, turns his back seeing this in which he stops him.

Comet: "What do you think your doing?"

He asked looking questionable at this sudden action to which the mercenary looked at the teen as well noticing this was odd as well not right.

Renegade: "Taking these from the military, let alone that they shouldn't turn powers into a weapon. Look at Optimo, his a clone. Imagine if these guys clone whole army, I'm just giving it back to the people."

Comet: "And by that, you mean sell them off. I know that human greed and takeover anyone, but this. Is just wrong, were here to help your student and Lex."

Talking back at him seeing that this wasn't the mission, looking annoyed he had no time for this. Looking at one of the capsules with the word 'god mode', he drops it on the ground and crushes it with his boot. Along with any other god like abilities that would make the city a hell hole.

Renegade: "There, now I have the C and B ranked powers. Now unless you got that glove, we should get moving before.."

Showing that he was not going sell the rather all powerful abilities from the villains, the two soon felt a presence of a powerful force which was none other then Optimo Rex. Who was standing right in front of the entrance as well looking at them with his white eyes glowing. To which he was serious in this moment let alone of ready to stop them from escaping.

Optimo Rex: "This ill advised crime shall be stopped and you both will be arrested."

Showing that of him not messing around let alone of going to bring them in, Renegade seeing this as a personal matter moves back to which he would look over the downloading of the power in the gauntlet. While Comet, would handle the beta fish clone as he would be the only one able to handle him.

Comet: "You know, I thought that when Agony cloned you. That you would be able to be just like Rex, but I was wrong. They didn't duplicate his emotions, they removed it so they could have a soldier who doesn't question orders. Not even when a teammate of ours, risked her life to protect this city from time to time."

Arguing with the beta fish clone to which Optimo Rex, eyes changed to showing his black pupils as well a calm like state to he could see the anger fueling Comet for standing in his way.

Optimo Rex: "I must compart mentalize my feelings if I am to help everyone and keep them safe from harm."

Explaining his reason which was basically to keep Lex away from the public along with making sure that she was no where near anyone, especially her family.

Comet: "Well for someone who tries to help people, you don't understand the meaning. Because right now, the people who love her. Will do whatever it takes, same as I. When it comes to being more then a peacekeeper. And it's, by being a member of the league of freedom!"

Telling the clone what he was let alone proud to be then just a peacekeeper, charging right towards him the two were sent through the hallway and outside. In which they begun to punch one another, in which they struggled to beat one another. Though the real purpose was to give Renegade the time to get the gauntlet primed and ready for Lex, Optimo had Comet on the ropes with able to see the alien's move let alone of how he was throwing his punches.

Optimo Rex: "This is futile Comet, the only way to help her is to place her in a environment in which we can contain her."

Sounding more like a soldier carrying about orders and containment, while this happened Comet's eyes glowed in a angry manner as well crashing him against the surface of the rocky floor. This lead to the both of them continuing to trade blow for blow, let alone flying across one rock like mountain wall to another. This caused the ground to shake let alone making everything quake.

Comet: "That's imprisonment. Which is something I won't allow, no matter what you say!"

To which in that moment his body erupt into that of burning energy as he allowed the pent up energy in him to lead Comet into throwing his fists left to right into his face. Optimo, blocked each attack as well felt the cosmic like heat generating off from him to which at that moment. He takes the lead in which he changes his right hand into that of his blaster, firing straight into Comet's gut he makes the alien stop his assault. Back handing him in mid air, he grabs the peacekeeper by the leg and slams him onto the rocks as well fires several blasts at him. The only thing that could be seen was that of a energy beam coming from Optimo's hand, smoke cleared away from the burnt spot showing that of Comet who was severally burnt from the blast as well on the ground.

Optimo Rex: "This does not bring me any pleasure nor delight, but I must follow procedures."

Speaking to Comet as the teen was trying to stay awake as well looking up at Optimo, as he merely chuckles at that comment.

Comet: "Yeah, well the one thing I know. Is that some humans, don't exactly follow procedures. Eh, fuck face?"

Thinking of a comment which Saturn would say, however right in the mist of nowhere. Was that of Meta Zenith, who hits him on the side of the head knocking him out. She as well the rest of the league had somehow got out of the mansion, to which Comet see's it was from none other then Rex who was with Devizo and Debbie. Both Ranger and Saturn walked over to help out the alien seeing how he took a lot of beating from the clone.

American Ranger: "It would have been a honor to have a young man like you in the army, maybe when this is over. I can teach you some moves.

Praising the young man for holding his own against Rex's clone, he looked around to see the ones that Rex had trusted was with him as well standing by his side. In which coming from behind, was Renegade who had the gauntlet that was primed and ready in which they all looked at the mercenary.

Renegade: "The toy is primed and ready, once we give Lex her medication. We take out the mantis power with thing and destroy it."

Summing up with all they need to do was find Rex, remove that power from her and then everything will be safe and sound. Throwing it to Rex, seeing that he was ready. There was something else that was happening to which they looked at Robo bot, who was still online as well able to hear what was happening when they were locked up in the mansion.

Robo bot: "The west league is in the forest, as well chasing after Lex. As well confirm that, she's changing."

Confirming that they were on their tail let alone going straight for Lex, as this was bad news for them they had to get their and deliver the cure to her. Looking over at the base, they saw several helicopters ready to be used in which that was means for transportation.

April Fool: "I'll fly."

The prop comedian stated to which she had a bit of experience with being the helicopter, not saying no to her insane suggestion. The group made their way to the helicopter as well prep it up as well locate the other members of Devizo's team, as well help Lex.


In the Forest

Meanwhile across a rather pleasant and peaceful area of the tree's and bushes, was that of Titanium Lex. Who was flying away hard and fast let alone trying to avoid that of blasting from both two Omega pets and Blue menace. Who was firing right at her, the red hair girl was right now avoiding the shots from her former teammates.

Titanium Lex: "Just leave me alone! You don't know what I'm capable of."

Shouting at them let alone avoiding of their harsh firing upon her, as Lex continue to fly straight. She saw that of a huge like robotic like tentacle which back hands her sending Lex crashing into several tree's which was from Third Eye, she hits the side of a large boulder. Lex could feel the change coming which was from that of anger, getting up quick she took cover from a laser blast which came from Robo Dino.

Robo Dino: "Sorry Lex, but I got orders."

Apologizing to her quick in which he tried to fire upon her, let alone dodging as she happen to come across Sharketa. As she tried to hit her then use her blade on her, Lex could tell the shark woman had no choice in this matter. So the only thing she could do was protect herself, while doing so not noticing Crocula using tail and slams her from left to right. Throwing her upwards into the air, this gave Lex the moment to use this to her advantage as she regains focus and tries to find somewhere to hide.

"Just give up Lex! We want to help you."

Which came from none other then Agony, as he was following her in a truck to which the only way of helping was imprisoning her. Finding a mine shaft on the side, she quickly heads right inside to which would be a good spot for cover. Though this lead to a brutal assault from that of Buster Nut and Chet, let alone Blue Menace as the three were firing upon the mine like if was target practice.

Sgt. Agony: "Hold fire! Hold fucking fire!"

Shouting to the three villains to which they didn't respond seeing how they were making sure Lex was done, to which as soon they had stopped firing. They saw that of the destroyed mine shaft, they didn't know what they had just done. However in the mist of despair, they saw some rocks crumbling from the entrance as well collapsing from the side seeing that Lex was still alive.

Sharketa: "She's alive."

Commenting on the fact she survived, however instead of seeing Lex. They saw something worse, half of her clothes showed that of insect like spike as well her hands turning into that of claws, along with her eyes becoming fully mantis. Looking at Agony at his men, the woman opened her mouth in a mantis like manner in which she looked rather pissed off.

Titanium Lex: "Lex is gone, and I killed her!"

Shouting right at them as well letting out a horrific like screech making them shock as well moving back from Lex frightened by this transformation.

Buster Nut: "Still making those leggings work."

He commenting on how she still appeared sexy, to which Lex screeched at the squirrel where they moved back watching how she was reacting to them. Agony, who was scared shitless tried to reframe from not being afraid of this new terrifying form of Lex.

Sgt. Agony: "Titanium Lex? You, are under arrest. We can do this the easy way, or the.."

Titanium Lex: "No, my way."

Interrupting him in which her mantis claw turned into that of a blade, in which at a incredible rush she slices both of his mechanical arms and kicks him in the head hard making him pass out in a instant. The villains moved back as they tried to get ready for what else she might do, though this lead to her taking out most of the villains in a instant. Third Eye, who was the last one remaining had to get a message out to the others seeing how they were the only ones to handle this out of control Lex.

Third Eye: "Attention of league of freedom members, Lex has fully changed. She is now hostile, we could not stop her. You must..

Before the technological could finish his sentence, Lex stabbed him right through his chest making the AI scream. Though as she did, The third eye was able to send the message to the others to where although they were unable to stop her. The others could, as well avoid any danger to which Insectoid Lex would bring to the rest of Storm City.
