There were only clouds. Lot's of clouds.
A blond boy was flying through the clouds with his arms outstretched. He looked happy. He felt free.
As he flew, the clouds parted and showed a city beneath him. It was not any city. It was Townsville. It seemed calm. The boy started flying towards him.
As he fly through the streets of his hometown, enjoying the beauty of the town, its people, architecture and art, the boy noticed that something was flying near him at the same speed, leaving a blue trail as him.
She didn't look aggressive, but rather calm and happy, which made Boomer blush.
As they flew side by side, she slowly reached her hand out to him. The girl expected him to catch her. This made Boomer feel soft and warm and happy. It was as if he was a child again and the feeling that all the pain and loneliness had never existed.
But just as he reached for his hand, a bright red light cleared in the sky. This light increased and engulfed all the buildings cars people, even her. Suddenly only chains remained, pulling him down to a dead ruined land. NOTHING BEAUTIFUL, NOTHING ALIVE. "Choose" a sudden words came out of nowhere. Boomer looked around to see where they were coming from. He was scared, he didn't know what was going on. But there was nothing but a waste land. "Choose" the voice began to repeat itself again and again. Every word was said in a louder voice. Finally, Boomer screamed in a high voice until everything suddenly disappeared into a single darkness.
Boomer woke up on the hospital bed. No noise or screaming. It seemed normal for him. But he gave a depress expression immediately afterwards.
To his left stood Butch, looking at him as if a miracle had happened. To his left stood Brick, who was just staring down at him, not daring to look him in the eye.
They were not in their usual clothes. Brick was wearing a dark cardigan with long black pants. He didn't wear his hat, but the biggest change was that he wore a tie. Butch was wearing a white unbuttoned apron with a green blouse underneath. And some weird brown pants.
Also some nurse was standing next to his red headed brother who was smiling at him, or his brother it was confusing. This surprised the boy who had just woken up began to look around to see what was happening and whether it was still dreaming.
"Where are we? What is going … " the boy asked while looking around but was interrupted by his green brother, who wrapped his one arm around his brother's neck and began to rub his head with his other "Finally. Do you know how long it was you maggot?"
Boomer was obviously confused, but then he remembered what had happened. "The monster? Antarctica? What happened?" Brick didn't dare answer, even though the question was mainly to him. The nurse frowned when saw that something was wrong with Brick, so she wanted to answer for him, but Butch answered first. „It's over now. That thing is gone so don't worry. O by the way we are agents now".
Boomer was even more confused. The boys first thought was that he was dead, the second thought was that it was in another dimension. It happened before. Both.
"Brick, please explain to me what's really going on. I didn't understand a word." asked Boomer his older and apparently more competent in explaining brother.
„After the battle of Antarctica, I made a deal. Your life in exchange for our loyalty to this organization. From now on we will work here fighting alien creatures" explain Brick in a hurry.
"You are joking right? Aliens? This those even exist?"
"We are super powerful beings created by a big brain monkey and resurrected by the devil. We fought giant fucking monsters and ghosts. Aliens is where you draw the line? Really?" Brick asked, puzzled as to why his brother was even asking this stupid question. Brick looked at his blue-eyed brother for a moment during the conversation but then immediately looked away guiltily.
"You have some point. For how long I pass?"
"YEARS Bro, YEARS" Butch said, barely restraining himself from bursting out laughing.
"YEARS?" Boomer exclaimed loud. "Only two days. Nothing to miss" said Brick as he look with narrowed eyes at Butch who laughed out loud.
"Stop messing around with me." Boomer demanded, then realize "Wait two days. Means today is …"
"IS CHRISTMAAAAASS" Butch loud that as he press a button on a phone (who wasn't his) and played "All I want for Christmas". And start singing it. The nurse smiled as Brick pooled awkward face, and Boomer hid under the covers, wanting this to be another nightmare to wake from.
Two eyes stared out the lab window. Victor was watching while Boomer try to get the phone out of his brother's hands and make him stop singing while Brick yelling at them. He was so envy, but happy at the same time for them. At least one family reunited again.
During the fun dispute, Victor and Brick's eyes met from a distance. The red boy felt he had to thank him for something. When he reached for the cancer, Victor simply put on his glasses and headed for the elevator.
Inside the elevator, Victor pressed the button for the top floor. The agent knew exactly why he was summoned. When arrived, it entered an white room with nothing but a desk. At the end was a glass overlooking the city. On the desk was nothing. Only a white desk. And behind it was a chair in witch stood a man.
He wore a silver helmet with a purple visor that blocked all view of his face, leaving only two eyes visible. He retained the black bodysuit, but had silver boots, gauntlets, and a chest plate.
"I arrived as you asked" said Victor. "Good" while saying this he touch his desk with turn out many holo monitors. Yes the desk was super computer. All were files from the battle that happen.
"The boys manage to comprehended the aliens. They fight smart and learn. That is vey powerful and deadly combination". The boss touch one of the seven screens that were floating around, and only that screen remain as the others disappear.
"Then tell me why is the blue one awake" as he sowing the three boys in the screen. "Didn't I asked you to put him in coma. You remember what we talked about right, didn't you?"
"Yes sir. But Brick started suspecting something. That is the reason to fly off and fight the aliens. If he confirmed his suspicions this would've been bad about the organization." Victor said nervously. He knew this maybe will cost him his job.
"Who suspected?" asked the boss. He didn't know the names of the boys and didn't bother to to learn them because he didn't care.
"The red one sir" corrected himself Victor.
"AAA so then HOW ARE YOU PLANNING ON CONTROLLING THEM?" asked the boss by reassign his voice.
"If we form some sort of bond with them they will willingly work for us, instead of blackmailing them" said the agent "I know this plan sounds ridiculous but is the only option we have". He really hopped for something like this. He was seeing the boys as something more as criminals.
"Don't be ridiculous we can't form a bond with weapons" said his boss revealing that he doesn't share his opinion. "The bond won't save us if they start rampaging and killing out of nowhere. This is to much risk. And I don't like taking them."
"Excise sir, but I think that only risking we will win in this war" Victor expressed his opinion even though he was not given permission.
„And look at what they have achieved. We managed to get back the stolen equipment, to get a device containing important information. You have to admit that we would never have achieved this without them" The agent continued, then realized that he was talking to his boss and raised his voice, but before he apologized …
„I know what they achieved" interrupted him the boss. "But I want solution if these "boys" turn against us. Find solution or you will be fired and believe me you don't want to" saying the last with menacing voice.
Victor swallowed and began to speak "I already have something sir. A lead to something that can take away their powers. Something called ANTIDOT X".
Watching the base from a safe distance was standing MonsterMan.
"Another failure?" said not so sarcastically a figure who stood next to him.
"Pff … look on the good side. We mange to gadder a little more info"said the man, stroking the person next to him on the head.
"Yea and lose a monster, nearly killing yourself and revealing our existence to them while doing it" said the young girl frustrated by his words "If it wasn't for me you'd be dead. Be more careful". She said the last part by looking away from him.
The girl has light blue shoulder-length hair, with choppy bangs, an ahoge, and two short braids secured with a yellow and black hairpiece. She wears the dark blue jacket, a collared white shirt and black tie, and a black dress. She looked like fifteen years old and it was short.
"They would found out sooner or later. But hey the big part is that we manage to infiltrate the worms into one of them" said Monster Man enthusiastically.
„Those worms. They had already been killed by their combo. Remember" asked him the girl worried that he hit his head too hard.
"Yes, they were, but their cells are not. And in time, they will play an important role in our plan." said MansterMan while laughing like a maniac.
"Yes, but your irresponsibility will now slow down these plans. And you should be the adult" said the girl arrogantly, holding her hand in front of her face.
As the snow poured slowly from the sky, she stared at it. MonsterMan looked at her nostalgically. He reached out to stroke her, but pulled her away as she looked at him.
"What is it" asked the girl while now staring at him. Without realizing it, he had cried. The man looked away, wiping his face with his hand, and spoke "Nothing lets go. If we stay a little longer you will freeze".
The girl only shook her head once in agreement. The next moment, two huge butterfly wings appeared on her. She transformed into very beautiful butterfly grabbed her master and flew into the night sky, which begins to disappear from the rising sun.
On a spaceship floating, the Earth's atmosphere awoke Axexatros.
„What happened? What? Why does my voice sound like that?" the alien asked, hearing his metallic voice. The two aliens standing next to him did not know what to say to him. Axexatros touched his mechanical chest continuing to his metal jaw what remembering had happened.
"I'll tell you what's going on, YOU LOST" said a third alien who had just entered the room „You failed the mission and lost not only to a boy, but also brought shame and disgrace to your name. It would be better to die on the battlefield worthy аnd so to keep your little remaining dignity, but these two brought you back and insisted on saving you."
He looked at them and they immediately bowed „We couldn't let you die master".
Axexatros turned to the third and spoke „This boy was not like the others …" but before he continuous his now superior interrupted him „No matter what it was, YOU FAILED".
Disgusted by his appearance, she continued, "Look at yourself, you can't even shapeshift anymore. That is why from today on, you are deprived of the position of warlord demoted to garbage taker. See at the checking, Abomination".
„I can fight. I can still bring glory to our people" said desperately as he left the table. When he did that, the ex warlord disconnected from all systems and immediately fell to the ground, beginning to suffocate. The third alien just looked at him for a while and said "Ooo Really?" as she left the room.
The other two in the room immediately picked him up and hooked him to the equipment, saving his life once more. "Are you ok, my lord?" asked the alien on his left side. But he didn't respond because he was in deep shock. For his people, the battle brings glory. But to lose in this disgraceful way means only looked ahead knowing what his new position would be. Mocked, insulted, harassed, toyed with. They would not treat him as an equal, but as a lower creature. All the reputation, influence and respect he had earned over the years had been taken away. For just one moment. That red-eyed boy took everything from him.
After some rethinking, he got up. The alien picked up the equipment that held him alive and stood at the window looking at the Earth "I will destroy him. The red-eyed boy. I will be his DOOM" Having said that, he scratched the glass.
"Master Axexatros we are with you no matter what" said one alien, looking at the other, who shook his head in agreement. Axexatros turn around only replied with "Okay. But don't call me by that name anymore. It's dead. From now on call me … "he stroked the bottom of his metal chin before answering "METAL JAW".
