Jak charged at Shadowis to throw a punch, Shadowis dodged it easily and returned him a straight kick to the face.

"You three are not as powerful as you think you are. No matter how much you think of yourselves as heroes. As good. You'll never be able to comprehend what I want." Shadowis remarked.

He materialized his sword again and clashed with both Ratchet's OmniWrench and Sly's cane. It was a good and back forth between the three of them until Shadowis kicked Sly in the chest, pushing him into the ground, and then Shadowis grabbed the Lombax by the tail and threw him onto Jak who was just getting up only to be on the ground again.

"You may hate me, but I believe in the ultimate truth of heroism. True heroism is power," Shadowis said.

The three heroes were taking their breath and trying to get up. Jak feeling a bit useless, decided to turn in to Dark Jak again. As usual, Dark Jak stood up angrily and charged directly at Shadowis.

Shadowis preparing for his attack proceeded to give Dark Jak a flurry of punches and then giving him his knee towards the stomach. Although, it didn't look like much Dark Jak was taking lots of damage.

"You know Jak, you're special for your transformations. I wonder how long you can handle such damage." Shadowis said gleefully as he continued with his punches.

Dark Jak however then began jabbing his claws into Shadowis's ribcages, torso, neck, and any other body part.

While to Shadowis, it was mere minor scratches, he almost looked like he was a disgusting zombie risen from the dead.

Shadowis laughed, "You bastard... is that the best you got!"

Dark Jak roared and charged again until an energy ball hit his chest sending him off away from the other two heroes Sly and Ratchet.

Ratchet tried getting up and as soon as he did, he asked himself who was that just now that blasted Jak away from them. A loud crash could heard near Shadowis and as the dust cleared, Shadowis smirked as if he was proud something good came.

"You're late." He said to the figure standing next to him. "Sorry, I had to get away from Nazar and that planet he left me on. I couldn't kill the detective such as you asked, Master Shadowis." The dust cleared and revealed who was speaking, Lucio.

'Who is that?' Ratchet thoughts were getting into a spiral trying to figure out who this new guy was. 'And he called Shadowis... Master?'

"Who the heck are you?" Ratchet blurted out as he sees Shadowis and Lucio standing next to each other as if they are champions to a tournament.

"No need to know me, hero. But if you want to know I'm Lucio, the apprentice of Master Shadowis." Lucio explained and jerked his head to look at Shadowis.

"The plan isn't going accordingly as we proceeded, Master. What shall we do?" Lucio asked him. Shadowis stared at the heroes for awhile, before looking back at Lucio, and then stated "We shall update as we go along. The invasions planned have been waiting for a long time. Right now, let us finish off these heroes, then we could head to Earth."

'Earth?' Sly heard Shadowis say as he also got up, willing to do another fight.

"I thought the original plan was to attack all 3 locations as planned at the same time?" Lucio asked. "What brought about these sudden updates?"

"Nazar has been interfering and I do not wish to face him just yet." Shadowis explained.

"I see. He is a troublesome fellow." Lucio added and then looked back at the two heroes who looked like they were just about to face death for the first time.

Lucio then looked at the destruction of Haven City all around him and chuckled a bit. "I have to admit master. You've caused quite a ruckus among the people here."

Shadowis agreed with him, but didn't want to admit it to his apprentice. "Enough laud of the destruction. We shall take care of these of heroes once and for all."

"Reality is often disappointing Master." Lucio said with glee and flew up to find as many as possible for newer subjects in the Masters of Doom.


[Earth; Paris; Police Station]

Carmelita walked around the room until an officer came in and she asked "Any luck?"

"Yes and no."

"What did you find?"

"You're gonna love this. Apparently, there was a lot of sales of a peculiar weapon across the countries and gangs we're catching."

"That being?"

He shows her a file that contains multiple images of a gauntlet being sold in different locations. Japan, China, India, Great Britain, Ireland, Nigeria, Egypt,and so on.

"What's it name?" She asks, looking back at her fellow colleague with a concerned look on her face.

He explains "The gauntlet? Well... that's pretty hard to say. According to our sources, it goes by many names. Devil Cannon, Monster Eye, Chosen Eye, Doomsday. It's a long list all of us are compiling as of now."

Carmelita didn't have much to say on this, but then decided to think this thoroughly enough.

She says to the officer "That'll be all."

He leaves and Carmelita is in her thinking process.

Another officer comes in the room presenting her pictures of Masters of Doom selling the gauntlet weapon even the one here that was recent in Paris where Shadowis was as well as the Cooper Gang.

Carmelita asked the officer, "Hey, do you know why the Cooper Gang was at the specific location where we caught the Masters of Doom. When we saw that being?"

"No clue, ma'am." He said while leaving her office.

'I got to over there to that location again. Maybe, we missed something.' She thought about this as she looked at a few pictures and wondered what were the Masters of Doom doing in that warehouse and why was Shadowis there?
