Keanu, Scotty, Exotr, Rino and Raven were walking down the baron and dull hallways of the tower, but as they headed to a corner, they all stopped as they peaked past it to see an Elite Trooper standing there with his red stripes on his armor to confirm his rank. The four of them looked at each other.
"How are we gonna get past the guard?" Rino asked.
"You're the thief, can't you just sneak up on him and knock him out?" Scotty asked.
"Don't worry guys!" Said Keanu as he quickly got in a Troopers uniform and arrived out of the corner to face the Elite Trooper standing there.
The Trooper quickly flashed Keanu some type of hand gesture as Keanu hesitated for a moment, but copied the movements of the Elite.
'Oh yeah... I forgot a lot of these guys are still in a gang.' Keanu thought as he walked up to the guard.
"I'm,...uh.." Keanu then looked at the leaf he was holding in his hand and then turned back to the Red Cap. "...Angus McIntyre, a capo of the Red Caps...And I have an urgent note from Van Kleiss. It's says everyone should take a break immediately!"
When Keanu gave the guard the leaf he was holding, the Red Cap looked at it and then turned to Keanu confused while raising his brow. "Why is it written on a leaf?"
When the guard said that, Keanu's eyes shot wide with surprise and uncertainty of what to do next. Then suddenly, Keanu gave the guard a strong punch that knocked him out. Keanu then took of his disguise and chuckled at the knocked out guard.
"Hehehe...perfect!" Then Keanu turned to the others and made a gesture that it's alright. As everyone came arrived from behind the corner as Keanu grabbed the knocked out Elites hand and puts it on the scanner to the door, opening it up. Keanu then turned back around to the rest of the group and gave his thumbs up.
"Awesome job Keanu!" Rino smiled while the others just face palmed themselves as they walked through the door and down the next hallway.
The Huntsmen team and their extra hero member continued walking down the baron and dull hallways of the tower but as they were walking, Keanu looked around with a confused look as he spoke up. "Umm, guys. Isn't it a little weird how we ran into only a couple of Van Kleiss' goons? And the hallway is almost totally empty because I think I saw this in a movie once! A movie called 'Invaders from planet Z!' Where the brave heroes walk around the alien ship as the guards on the ship seemed to disappear, when they're actually leading the heroes into a big trap where they then feast on their bones!"
"We now have an example! This hallway is as empty as your head!" Scotty rolled his eyes.
"He may be right..." Raven surprisingly agreed.
"We better keep our eyes peeled then..." Extor advised.
"Won't be enough."
The group stopped as a hulking red skinned woman, about fifteen feet tall with four arms and even two pairs of eyes stepped out in front of them, glaring at them. Raven reminded of her father, Trigon when looking at this woman but knew this woman was not related to Trigon or even a demon. She wore a black body suit that was modified to account for her extra arms with black fingerless gloves.
This was Rampage as a Tetramand, known to Ben Tennyson as Four-Arms.
"Hehehe...So you are the guys he wants gone so bad." Rampage sneered as she cracked her four knuckles.
"You know this brute, Raven?" Extor asked, activating his power gauntlets.
"No." Raven gathered energy in her hands. "She looks similar to someone I knew but I've never seen her before."
"Maybe not, but I know you're one of those super hero punks, even we're not from the same universe. You may not be Justice League but I'll consider you a warm up." Rampage narrowed her fours eyes as she glared at Raven who glared back.
Scotty stepped in front of the white cloaked girl, pulling out his sword. "Come and try."
"Hehehe... And now, I wanna show you what new tricks I've learned from that bastard..." Said Rampage as she reached into his back pocket and pulled out glowing Dust crystals, red, yellow, grey, light blue, green and purple.
The group watched in horror as she plunged the crystals into actual dust in her arms and knees and instantly started to visibly change. Her veins, chest, mouth, and eyes started to glow from the colors of the Dust crystals as she smiled while looking at the group. And that's when she really started to change when she started laughing quietly as he clenched his fists and brought them up to her face as she grew a foot or two taller, becoming even more muscular and she let out a roar with voice becoming distorted.
Everyone stared in shock at Rampage's new form.
"Now... I'm going to kill you. I hope this isn't a bad time..." Rampage said, walking forward while speaking in her new distorted voice as the group stared at her in horror.
Scotty stepped out, holding his sword. "Don't worry guys! I'll handle her! You go on ahead."
"But Scotty-" Keanu tried to protest.
"Don't argue, move!" Scotty yelled at Keanu as he turned back, only to be knocked back by a powerful force as he tumbled several feet back and fell on his back.
He looked back up, the monster that was Rampage wrapped his fingers around his chest and as she lifted the Scotsman up with her monstrous hand and threw him back to the ground which severally damaged it.
Without hesitation, Rampage jumped on top of Scotty and while still burning from that explosive Dust, started savagely and unrelentingly punching Scotty so hard, so fast, and so unrelentingly that Sam started to punch Scotty through floor, after floor, after floor, and after floor of the tower as Rampage was still on top of Scotty savagely pummeling them as they fell through floor after floor.
CRASH!
BAM!
KRASH!
KRRRSH!
BOOM!
CRACK!
BAM!
KRASH!
KRRRSH!
BOOM!
CRACK!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!...
As the two finally made it to the very bottom base of the tower they started to fly under the earth as they crashed through several large machines and pipes sticking out and around the earth as the two finally fell into a pool of lava.
SPLAT!
Scotty slowly picked himself up from the lava as he dizzily looked down to see what he was crouching in. But as his vision fully cleared...
"What the-?... What's this glowing stu-... Lava?... LAVA!?" Scotty yelled as he stood back up and thrashed around panicking as he was standing in knee deep high lava. "I'M ON FIRE! I'M ON FIRE!"
But as Scotty was still panicking, he calmed down as he realized he didn't feel anything, and he wasn't turning to ash. He looked back down as he saw that his bottom half was surrounded in some sort of glowing force field, and it wasn't his Aura.
"You okay?" Scotty looked up and saw Raven floating down, white energy surrounding her hands.
"Oh... I guess that's why my bones aren't dust... Or fried..." Scotty said, looking at the energy field surrounding his body. "Thanks."
"Lucky." Scotty looked left of him to see the beastly new form of Rampage standing there on a platform above the lava. "You're lucky, because even with your Aura it would be eaten up by the lava in no time..."
Scotty glared at Rampage as he said. "So much for being an actual fighter! And even when you tried to cheat you failed! What's all this lava doing down here anyway?"
"Where do you think all the power from the fortress comes from? Van Kleiss drew some lava from the Earth and these big machines here absorb the energy from the magma... The structural support here is pretty unstable anyway, so even if you win. I'll make sure to bury us both!" Rampage answered.
"You'd bury us BOTH just to beat me?!" Scotty grumbled.
"Give me a break!" Rampage yelled as she gestured to herself, then to Scotty. "You do what you do... I do what I do! Now... How about we get started?"
Rampage walked forward as her mouth glowed with red energy as she opened up her mouth and a hot beam of red energy shot forward.
VRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRSH!
But Scotty quickly jumped out of the way of the attack as the rock wall behind him was blasted to pieces and fell apart.
Scotty looked at Rampage surprised as he said. "That's new..."
He reached behind him and pulled out his sword while Raven hovered next to him.
"Girl, you have no idea who are you messing with." Rampage glowered at Raven. "I've fought the Justice League."
"And I beat a demon that almost destroyed the world when the League was nowhere to be found." Raven retorted, gathering energy in her hands.
Rampage growled, clenching her fists. Scotty and Raven readied themselves for battle as Rampage roared and charged at them.
Xxx
Back with the rest of Team SEKR they were looking at the hole that was created when Scotty and Rampage took their fight elsewhere.
"Woah! Is... Is he going to be okay?" Keanu asked.
"Scotty has gotten a lot stronger since we all got together. And with that little lady... He can take it." Rino answered.
"Okay then..." Extor said, getting back on track.

On the lower and darker levels of the Fortress, a door was kicked open as Tibuorn, Samedi, Genki, Mars, Li, and Albert made their way into the next dark concrete hallway in that order. The group started walking down the concrete hallway to two large metal doors on the other side of the hallway.
"Do you have any clue how many people that their experimenting on?" Albert asked as he looked over the wall computer, trying to bypass the security codes.
"From what Sebben said, they were people from other dimensions. All of them possessing unique abilities, even unique to us." Tiburon answered. "They were all brought here to be experimented on and for Van Kleiss to find a way to take their powers so he can become stronger."
"I can confirm that. One of the people who were brought here, she's been living with our family for quite some time. Though she has suffered amnesia and can barely remembering anything about her life from her home universe." Genki nodded in agreement. "We have pieced enough together to understand she is an orphan."
"That's right. She's the ghost girl, right?" Samedi recalled. "The one who helped take down Billiam Milliam and the Ice Queen. Dani Phantom."
"Danielle Fenton, though her surname comes from the name of the one she was cloned from." Genki stated, knowing enough of Danielle's past.
"How is she?" Tiburon asked.
"Recovering from learning a new power." Genki said with a small smile. "She has formed a close friendship with my daughters…To the point that after this if we cannot recover her memory or find a way to return her…"
"Genki?" Tiburon asked slowly, looking to the woman he used to have feelings for.
"…We're considering asking her if she would like us to adopt her." Genki confessed, surprising the group.
"Really?" Samedi and Albert both asked.
Genki nodded. "Really."
"That is wonderful." Li said with a small smile. "If her heroics are anything to go by I'd say you have been a good influence on her."
"She was like that before we found her; my husband and I have only tried to give her what she has really needed." Genki confessed. "Like I said, she's an orphan and she has helped to save us from many troubles, including Billiam, that mad god Crom and even saved my daughters from the Ice Queen without ever asking anything in return. If anything she's scared of somehow overstaying her welcome, even though she'll never owe us anything for what she has done for us."
Tiburon noted the look on Genki's face. "You've come to care for her, haven't you?"
Genki looked surprised but nodded with a small smile. "She is quite the kind and helpful little girl and a very brave one at that. We've all grown to care for her, not just because she is a recognized hero but because of the kind and sweet child she is and that's why we're here now. Not just to stop the madness Van Kleiss is causing but to help her."
"And what happens if she decides to return to her world?" Tiburon asked.
"…It's her decision and we will respect it." Genki admitted, frowning a bit now. "Even if she will be greatly missed."
"How remarkably kind of you."
The Hunters looked behind them to see something crawling on the ceiling, like an oversized bug. But, it soon jumped down from the ceiling as it stood in front of the group with a toothy grin.
It was an all too familiar spider Gorilla.
He fell down, spreading his eight legs out and landing perfectly before them. "I can't say I'd say the same…If only because it would be a waste of potential."
"Grodd..." Tiburon growled as everyone pulled out their weapons. "Artemis and Superboy told us all about you."
"Unfortunately I cannot say the same for them. They must be from another universe, different from my own." Grodd said as he scanned the rest of the crowed, as her smiled widened and grew bigger as she saw Genki. "...And I see the wife of the famous SAM-R-I is with you. Hmph, not that it will matter very much."
Genki pulled out her blade and pointed it at the spider Gorilla. "Come down here and say that again, and we'll see if you are so confident after I cut off each one of your disgusting arms..."
Grodd glared at the other woman in anger, before smiling again. "And if you release the prisoners, how am I supposed to have FUN throughout the day?"
The Hunters stared him down.
"I just LOVE it when they're afraid... It makes the hunt that much more fun..." Grodd chuckled.
"Look eight legs..." Samedi stated. "I don't know if you've noticed this or not but you're completely out numbered."
"Hehehe... I wouldn't say that now..." A voice said behind the entire group and they heard a deep growl.
Looking over they all saw Pardus walking over to them in his wereleopard form with his razor sharp teeth and claws out. "What would you like your inscriptions on your tombstones to read? Your prisoner numbers? Or your actual names?"
The Hunter looked left and right as they saw the two psychotic Faunus'(or Mobian in Grodd's case) close case in on them.
"Baron! You go on ahead and find those prisoners and take everyone to a safe place and find a way out of here! These two must've called more guards to come down here; if everyone is still down here when the guards arrive we'll all be toast! Find them and get them out of here!" Tiburon yelled to his friend.
"But, what about you?!" Baron asked.
"I'll be fine! Now go!" Tiburon yelled.
Baron reluctantly nodded went on ahead with Albert, Li and Mars who followed Samedi while Tiburon stood there.
But as he looked over, he noticed Genki stood there as well, with her sword still out as she faced Grodd.
Tiburon turned his attention to Pardus. "Why are you still here?"
"Two on two makes it fair." Genki replied as Pardus and Grodd both slowly moved closer.
"Hehehe... I guess I'll have my fish battered and fried!" Pardus grinned.
"And I'll see for myself how a so-called Huntress measures up to the so-called heroes I face. Not that it will matter very much" Grodd said as he moved closer to Genki and Pardus moved closer to Tiburon.
Genki then turned her head to Tiburon quickly as she yelled. "Stay back-to-back!"
As the two did just that as the leopard Faunus and spider Faunus had enough playing around as they charged at their chosen opponents.
