The Little Girl and the Predacons (Rewrite)

by Dolphinheart99

(Sequel of The Little Girl and the Graboids) Autobots and Decepticons have a new threat on their hands. Powerful creatures from space called Monstrum came to control the time, space and dimension. But, they can't get it unless they find the Key of Portals. It was a race against time, because if the Autobots or Decepticons don't find the key first, their lives are doomed.

26. Wolf Within III

Here's the next chapter of the Little Girl and the Predacons. Sorry for the wait, I had a lot of work to do in my getting ready for school. It's my second year in college and I found out that I have mandarin meaning I have to learn Chinese…which I know I will fail miserably (TT_TT).

Anywho, someone asks if Jack is having a girlfriend, the answer is yes and it's not Sierra. I hope you guys enjoy it. And the Godzilla 2019 movie was amazing and epic.

Chapter 23: Wolf Within III

"So…this guy, Jack Darby, is Wolf Blade?" Spider-Man questioned Dark.

Dark nodded as she placed a hand on her hip. "Yup, and never knew that he had it." She complimented. "I always thought that he's the quiet type."

Spider-Man looks at Jack and notices something strange. "Hey, what was the color of his eyes?"

Dark turns her head to him in confusion. "Huh?"

"When you were with him, what was the color of his eyes?"

Dark stared at him with a brow raise. "…You're joking."

"I'm serious, Dark." Spider-Man said.

Dark sighs. "His eyes are blue." She answered.

Spider-Man points at Jack's glaring eyes. "Take a look at his eyes now."

Dark looked at Jack's eyes and saw that they were silver. "Huh, Fury did say Wolf Blade's eyes are silver."

"Exactly, but what I don't understand is why he's acting like this." Spider-Man said, gesturing a snarling and trashing Jack. "He's acting all wolf."

Dark, for once, agreed with him. Jack isn't acting like himself. I mean, even though Dark barely knows him, she knew that Jack isn't a type of guy to act all savage, and attacking criminals like no tomorrow. There was something wrong and Dark has a feeling that they need to bring him to Dr. Connors.

"AAAHHH!"

Dark and Spider-Man heard Nova scream. They turned towards the entrance of the factory and saw Nova being chased by Doberman Pinscher. Nova runs towards Dark and Spider-Man, screaming on top of his lungs as the Doberman Pinscher chases and barks at Nova. Nova quickly hides behind Spider-Man as Dark steps in front of them and gives the Doberman Pinscher a warning glare. When the Doberman Pinscher sees this, he quickly stops his tracks and lies on the ground with a submissive whimper. Dark went over to the Doberman Pinscher and kneels in front of him. Nova peeks behind Spider-Man as the two superhero teens watch as Dark calms down the Doberman Pinscher.

"Easy big boy, we just saved your life and this is how you thank one of them?" Dark questioned the dog, who whimpered.

"Since when you're a dog whisperer?!" Nova exclaims from behind Spider-Man.

"Hey, I'm rude, not heartless…well, most of the time." Dark said before turning to the Doberman Pinscher. "And besides, give this big guy a break, he's been through hell."

"He chased me!" Nova pointed out.

"He was just showing dominance. Isn't that right, big guy? You just showed the bucket head who's boss." Dark said to the Doberman Pinscher like if he was her pet before giving him a scratch under his chin.

This caused the Doberman Pinscher to bark in agreement before wagging his tail happily. Spider-Man and Nova were surprised how calm the Doberman Pinscher became after Dark scared him. Spider-Man started to believe that Dark isn't all that bad.

"Huh, Buck Maximus put you in a hard time." Dark said to the Doberman Pinscher, earning a whimper from the Doberman Pinscher.

"Didn't know you were a softie to animals." Spider-Man said, kneeling besides her as he looks at the Doberman Pinscher.

Dark continuous scratching and petting the Doberman Pinscher. "Let's just say the one that I was cloned with was a big animal lover." She whispers to Spider-Man, so Nova couldn't hear, before turning to the dog. "Isn't that right, Ripley?"

Spider-Man looks at Dark. "Ripley?"

"Yup, that's what the owner named his dog." Dark said.

"His owner?" Spider-Man asked again in surprise.

"Ripley had an owner. It turns out, Buck Maximus sent some goons to get some dogs. And Ripley being a Doberman Pinscher was the dog that he needed. Apparently, Ripley's owner tried to protect his dog from being taken, but one of the goons had a gun and…you know."

"…Ripley's owner died protecting him." Spider-Man said sadly as he gently patted Ripley's back.

"Yeah…Ripley never forgot that day, he was taken away from his home and was forced to do dog fights." Dark continued. "And Buck Maximus, doesn't care who lives or dies."

"Poor guy." Spider-Man said to Ripley. "He's been through enough pain."

"Yeah, welp. We better check on the others." Dark said before getting up and turning to Nova. "Nova, keep an eye on our guest here."

"Why me!" Nova complained.

"Would you rather wrangle the wild and savage dogs?" Dark questioned.

"…You know what, maybe I should watch over Wolf Blade. Have fun with the dogs." Nova said with a wave.

Dark rolled her eyes and turned. "Welp, that's taking care of, let's get the dogs and contact Fury. Come on, Ripley." Dark gestured at the Doberman Pinscher.

Ripley barked before following Dark back to the building, followed by Spider-Man, leaving Nova with Wolf Blade/Jack. Nova glanced at Wolf Blade/Jack, who was struggling to break free from Spider-Man's webbing, and almost shuddered. He got to admit; Wolf Blade looks terrifying. Nova carefully leans over to Wolf Blade/Jack carefully with his arms crossed until Wolf Blade/Jack snaps at him with a dangerous snarl, causing Nova to withdraw and look away in fear.

---

Dark and Spider-Man meet up with the others, with Ripley trotting by Dark's side, as they saw White Tiger, Iron Fist, and Power Man had just finished tying the last bad guy up with ropes that they found and somehow kept the dogs in bay.

"I see you guys got this handled." Dark said, walking over to them.

"It would be a lot easier if Nova didn't make that dog mad." Power Man pointed at the Doberman Pinscher.

Dark pats Ripley's head. "Hey, don't blame Ripley for being savage. He was forced to fight against his will. Ain't that right, Ripley?"

Ripley barked in agreement at her, earning another pat on the head. Iron Fist looked at Dark and Ripley with surprise. When Nova tried to get the Doberman Pinscher, he started chasing the poor superhero out of the building while they stayed here to tie up the bad guys. And now, the dog is now calm, no longer aggressive or scared towards Dark or the others.

"It seems that you somehow tamed Ripley." Iron Fist said, looking at Ripley.

"Yeeeaahhh…that's one of my powers, but I don't want to talk about it right now. We have to contact Fury before something goes wrong."

"What could possibly go wrong?" Spider-Man asked.

"Don't jinx it, Spidey." Dark warns him in a blank tone before taking out a communicator that she…borrowed from Fury as she contacts him to pick them up.

However, they weren't aware that Wolf Blade/Jack's silver eyes started to glow as he let out a savage snarl. Nova notices this and backed away nervously. Not liking the look that Wolf Blade/Jack was giving him.

"Hey, what are you-" Nova was cut off when Wolf Blade/Jack took a long deep breath.

---

Dark was talking to Fury to send in some transport when a powerful howl was heard, causing the building to shake. The dogs started barking in fear by that saddened howl before running away outside, except for Ripley. He stood beside Dark as he barked in alarm. The others held their ground as the howl stopped.

"What was that?!" Power Man exclaims.

Before anyone could speak, something crashed in through the building and landed near them. It was Nova, he was groaning in pain and they noticed that he was dizzy a bit. They turned towards the hole that Nova made and saw Wolf Blade/Jack standing there with a snarl. Dark glares at Wolf Blade/Jack, who glared back at her. Wolf Blade/Jack took a deep breath with his eyes flashing. This caused Dark's eyes to widen in shock before turning to the others.

"GET BEHIND ME!"

Suddenly Wolf Blade/Jack lets out a powerful silver sonic howl to them. Dark quickly activates a black forcefield, shielding her and the others, along with the unconscious men, from Wolf Blade/Jack's sonic howl. However, because of his powerful howl, it caused the building to collapse on top of them. as the building fell on them, Wolf Blade/Jack just stood there, glaring at his work for a few seconds, before turning and leaving the scene.

After a few minutes, Dark's shield came out from the rubble of the building before deactivating. Dark and the others were okay, but Nova was still dazed by the attack. Dark looks around for Wolf Blade/Jack and finds nothing. Groaning in annoyance, Dark walks over to Spider-Man, who was trying to wake up Nova.

"Nova! Nova! Wake up!" Spider-Man said to Nova, shaking him slightly.

Dark gently pushed Spider-Man aside. "Let me try." She said, before grabbing Nova by his suit and shaking him like a ragdoll. "WAKE UP, NOVA!" She roared in his face.

And with that, Nova slowly woke up, still being shaken by Dark, as he looked at her. "Stop shaking me!" He said loudly.

Dark stopped shaking him and let go of him, causing Nova to fall on his back with a loud 'Oph!'. Dark gets up while Nova sits upright after Dark dropped him. He gave her a sideway glare before turning to her.

"DID YOU HAVE TO SHAKE ME?!" He yelled.

"Nova, stop yelling." Spider-Man said to him.

"WHAT?!"

"I said-"

"WHAT?!"

Dark covers Nova's mouth with her hand to shut him up. Nova blinks at her in surprise. Dark suspects that Wolf Blade/Jack's sonic howl caused Nova to be temporarily deft. She lets go of him before placing both her hands on his ears. A dark glow came from them as they recovered Nova's hearing. After she let go, Nova could hear again.

"Better?" She asked.

"Yeah, pretty much." He said.

"Good." She added before she slaps him on his head, causing him to let out an 'OW!'. "What the hell happened! I told you to watch him!"

"I did! He attacked me by surprise!" Nova defended.

Dark sighs in annoyance as she got up from her spot. Then she looks up when S.H.I.E.L.D. aircrafts came and landed close by. Agents came out from them as they came to retrieve the criminal men and arrest them Fury was there as he made his way towards them.

"What happened?" Fury questioned.

"Long story, Fury. But Wolf Blade got away." Dark said before turning to the car that still had the unconscious Buck Maximus. "You better get him before he wakes up with his men and gathers the dogs from his fights. Speaking of which…"

Dark placed two fingers on her mouth and let out a loud whistle. The dogs that ran away came back and went towards Dark, but a few feet away from here.

"You should find good homes for them." Dark said before turning to Spider-Man. "Spider-Man, you keep an eye on Ripley. I have to get ready for school tomorrow."

---

On the next day, Jack was plopped on his bed, wearing only pants and a white shirt. He was snoring softly on his bed. Then there came a knock from the door, indicating that it was his mom, June Darby, who was knocking.

"Jack, breakfast is ready." June said, muffled from the door.

"Kay, Mom…" Jack mumble in his sleep.

Luckily, June heard him before sounds of footsteps are heard, meaning she was going downstairs. Jack slowly gets up from his bed, feeling really tired. He doesn't understand why because he went to bed early and yet he was too tired to get up. However, it's a school day, so he better get up before he'll get late. Jack slowly sits up from his bed and yawns before coughing as he rubs his throat. He felt his throat sore.

"Why does my throat hurt?" He mutters out before getting out of bed.

Later, Jack went out of his house and decided to walk to school. Arcee and the others are probably having a meeting about Decepticon's next attack. As he made his way to school, he noticed a black Koenigsegg CCXR with blue linen drove towards him. He stopped when he saw the window rolled down to reveal Danica at the driver seat.

"Need a ride?" Danica asked him.

Jack stared at her, not sure if he should get a ride from her. But he was too tired to walk to school. So, why not. Jack gave a small nod before making his way to the front seat besides Danica. Once he was inside, Danica started driving towards Memorial High School. They were silent in the car for a while. Jack didn't feel like talking to her because he had a feeling to not trust her.

"So, how was your Science Fiction Club?" Danica asked Jack.

Jack glanced at her. He has to answer her carefully because the Autobots went off to find relics that they receive from the Iacon Database. It was only a few, but they had to retrieve them before the Decepticons found it first.

"You know, searching about possible life from other planets, black holes, and comets." Jack lied.

This earns a light chuckle from Danica, finding it amusing that Jack said that. "Boy, you guys must be big nerds to do that." She said.

Jack sighs in relief, knowing Danica believed him. Danica drives towards the school and parks her car at the school parking lot. The two get out of the car before Danica automatically locks it. Jack thanks her for the ride while Danica simply waves him off. They walked to the school to get to their class. They met up with Raf and Miko, who was happy to see Danica again, before they headed to class to start the day.

They did their classes, have lunch, and hangout. Danica decided to hangout with Jack, Miko, and Raf. They were much better than with the other students. Vince tried to flirt with Danica, in hopes to ditch them and be his girlfriend, but Danica refused and told him to back off. Jack doesn't understand why Danica wants to be their friend. I mean, she's a girl from the big city and she became the popular girl in the school. And now she wants to be their friend. It was weird. But the weirdness continued when Gym started. It was dodgeball and they were separated into two teams. Vince has the tough ones while Jack and Raf have the scrawny one's aka nerds. Their coach is named Arvind Shaw. He's an athletic man with Crew Cut Hairstyle, tan skin, and amber eyes. He's a strict coach and is known to be disciplined and gives major scolding to the students who bullied or harm others.

Coach Shaw keeps watch on the two teams when the match starts. The tough ones took down the other team, leaving Jack and Raf. Vince laughed at the two friends before he and the others were ready to throw their balls at them. Raf quickly shielded himself at the incoming balls, however, the balls didn't come. Raf peeks and gasps to see Jack right in front of him. Two balls were in his hands. He prevented Raf from getting hit by the balls. Everyone was shocked to see this, especially Vince. Jack was shocked by this too since he wasn't much of an athlete, but his body went automatic when he saw Raf in danger.

Something came over him. It felt like he needed to protect Raf since he was still a kid. Coach Shaw raised a brow at Jack, watching from the sidelines as Vince and his team couldn't believe what they just saw, but they recovered and soon threw incoming balls at them. Suddenly something took control of Jack as he used the balls to block the incoming projectiles that were going to harm him and Raf. Once he did, Jack bangs the balls in his hands together before doing a battle stance, which surprised him.

"Hey! Spread out!" Vince ordered his team.

And they did, Vince's team spread out and threw their balls at Jack. Jack's instincts took control again as he blocked all the balls without breaking a sweat. When Vince threw his ball at Jack's face, Jack used his two balls to catch it, trapping it in the center. Everyone, minus Coach Shaw, was shocked and amazed by this.

"No way." Vince muttered out.

The nerds cheered at Jack's action, amazed at his skill. Raf couldn't believe that Jack did that. But the show wasn't over yet. Jack drops the third ball before he starts bouncing all three balls. Vince's team started to move away, leaving Jack and Vince on the field. Vince narrowed his eyes at Jack, trying his best to stop sweating. Jack bounced the balls for a few seconds before using one at Vince. Vince dodges it by jumping over it, but Jack uses it as a diversion as he throws the next one and it hits Vince's face so hard, it sends him crashing under the basket of the basketball hoop. He was about to get up when the two balls that were in the air fell and made their way to the net and crashed on Vince's face. Vince got smacked on the face by the balls before he slowly sits up while rubbing his head.

"What?" He muttered before looking up to see Jack playing around with the last ball.

Jack tosses the ball up before spinning a bit. As he grabs it, he readies the ball and throws it hard at Vince. Luckily, Coach Shaw caught it before it could make contact at Vince's face, who was covering it in fear.

"Vince! Catch it with your hands, not your face." Coach Shaw informs him as he holds up the ball.

This caused the nerds to laugh at Vince, finding it funny that he got what he deserves. Coach Shaw turns to Jack with a calm expression. "Nice work, Darby." He complimented.

Jack was still shocked by what just happened. He looked at his hand and couldn't believe what he just did. Raf walked over to Jack and noticed his shock expression.

"Jack, are you okay?" Raf asked.

Jack looks at him, feeling his worries washed away when he looks at Raf. He gave an assuring smile and ruffled Raf's hair. "Yeah, I'm good." He said before he walks away with Raf.

Unaware of them, Danica aka Dark in disguise was watching the whole thing as she hides under the bleachers. She silently gets out of the gym and heads towards an empty room to send the info to Spider-Man.

"Spidey, this Dark, got news about Wolf Blade." Dark said to the communicator.

"What did you find?" Spider-Man asked.

"During in Gym class, I saw Jack use his fast reflexes, but…"

"But what?"

"I don't think he knows what he is capable of." Dark said before the bell rang in the school. "Gotta go, I'll tell you more soon."

"Good luck." Spider-Man said before Dark turned off her communicator and headed towards her next class.

But she and the others have no idea that there was an organization who has plans for Jack.

This organization was hidden inside of a cave-like cavern that was far from any cities of Nevada. This cavern was filled with ancient writings, drawn to the walls with pictures. No one knows how to read it, except for some Linguists or Archeologists that could read them. However, the cavern is being used by people, and they are not Archeologists. No, they are an organization that wants to eradicate all mutants, super powered beings, and magic.

The Equal Salvation.

This organization wants to eradicate all impure beings, let it be superheroes, villains, magical beings, and more. The leader of this organization is known by Master Salvation. He leads his group to the path of purity, making the world that they live in free from 'unclean beings'. He couldn't stand this world being destroyed by those super powered beings. They must be gone for the sake of the plant's survival. He searches for information to find a way to remove the impure beings from this world. He knew ancient times there was a way to do so, but it was hidden away from the world, until it was discovered by him and his men.

The cavern was an ancient place that would destroy their enemies. But it was proven too dangerous and it was left to be forgotten by ancient people, locked away from the world, hoping that no one could find it. Until now.

Master Salvation was standing on top of what appears to be a pyramid with two pillars on each side, showing that it was for a sacrificial reason. Master Salvation looks at the drawings on the wall with a glare. That's when one of his followers came up and bowed at him.

"Master Salvation, we located him." He said.

"Good…bring him here before the next full moon rises." Master Salvation ordered as he sideway glanced at him. "And make sure you bring that woman that raised him." He spat out.

The follower nodded and left Master Salvation with his work. This ancient cavern will help him succeed to eradicate the in impure beings, especially the little girl known as Valentina. The public called her the Dinosaur Princess, but she is no princess. He and the others believe she was impure, a monster in disguise. Not only he will get rid of her, but also the ones that are her friends and others with powers. Master Salvation looks at the drawings one more time and lifts his arms up.

"Soon, our world will be pure from the wretched beings!" He said loudly.

On the walls were drawings of silver eyes. Indicating that the only way to succeed is to have the one with silver eyes can his plan work. He will not fail his mission.

---

Jack was having Biology class with his fellow classmates. They were going to have a project making with a partner. The Biology teacher assigned them. Miko is partnered up with Raf while he is partnered up with Danica. Sierra is partnered with Vince, who is constantly flirting with her. This annoyed Jack since he has a crush on Sierra, but something inside of him was telling him that Sierra isn't the one for him. They have a project to study the behavior of the animals that they are assigned with. Miko and Raf were going to research about the lions while Jack and Danica were going to search about wolves.

"Your project will be passed next week, make sure you do it early, I don't want any excuses. That goes for you Ms. Nakadai." The male Biology teacher said, earning a few snickers. "That same goes to you, Mr. Brady."

Vince grumbled while the students snickered louder at him. When the final bell rang, they all headed off home to get started on the project. Jack can't go to base today since he and Danica need to start the project. So, he told Raf and Miko about him not going to their 'club' as he got a ride from Danica to his house. When they got there, he and Danica entered the house. Danica looked around the house and saw it was a nice place to live. She then notices a picture on the wall of Jack as a little boy with his mom and his dad. Danica narrowed her eyes at Jack's dad. In the photo, Jack's dad was a muscular man that has tan skin, long black hair that is tied, his face looks like a model that would make all women fall for him, but his eyes were more interesting because they were silver like Wolf Blade's.

"Nice family picture." Danica complimented.

Jack turned to her and saw the picture of his parents and him, and his eyes softened at the sight. "Yeah, that picture was taken on my sixth birthday." He explains as he makes his way to the picture. "My dad decided that on my birthday that we go camping."

"Your dad?" Danica questioned as she raised a brow.

Jack nodded with a smile. "He taught me how to set a tent, build a fire, fishing, and everything I need to know in surviving the wild."

"Where is he now?" Danica asked, looking at the picture.

Soon, sadness took over Jack as he stared at the picture on the wall. "My dad works with the military. He was on a mission in Afghanistan and…"

Danica turns to him. "He died, didn't he?"

Jack looks down at his feet. "That's what they said, but…"

"But?" Danica repeated.

Jack looked at the photo again and said. "For some reason, I could feel that he's alive." He answered.

"You think that he's M.I.A.?" Danica questioned.

Jack shrugs a bit. "I don't know, it's just a feeling." He said almost sadly.

Danica looks at him for a few seconds before looking at the picture. "What's your dad's name?" She asked.

Jack glanced at her and then to the picture. "His name was Silver, Silver Darby." He answered almost proudly before looking at Danica. "We should work on the project before the deadline."

Danica agreed as they did their project at the living room. Jack researched the computer while Danica took down notes and did the poster board. They search about wolves and their behaviors.

"Okay, so wolves hunt together as a pack." Danica answered as she wrote it down on her paper. "That's original." She muttered out.

"Well, wolves actually live, travel and hunt in packs of 7 to 8." Jack explains. "The alpha male and female are the only ones who can have offspring. The alphas track and hunt prey, choose den sites and establish the pack's territory." Jack looks at Danica, she was giving him a strange look. "…What?"

"You sure know about your wolves." Danica said.

Jack shrugs a bit. "What can I say, I'm fond of wolves. My dad told me about the wolves and how they have some bad reputations, but they're really not that bad. They're more afraid of us than we are to them." He explains.

"Huh, smart words, Darby." Danica said with a smirk.

Jack couldn't help but smiled back at her before continuing their work. They did research about how wolves work together in hunting, how the alphas took charge on the pack, and so on. Then someone came into the house. Turning around, they saw June, Jack's mom, coming in with groceries in her arms. She uses her foot to close the door before turning to the living room and notices Jack with Danica. June's eyes widened a bit as she was startled to see them.

"Oh, hello." June greeted.

Jack got up from the couch and introduced his mom to Danica. "Mom, this is Danica Grady. Danica, this is my mom, June Darby."

Danica made a small salute with two fingers. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Darby." Danica greeted him.

June smiles at her. "Oh, it's nice to meet you too." She said. "Well, I should make dinner."

"Do you need help?" Danica offered.

"Are you sure? Your parents might be worried about you." June said, not wanting to get Danica in trouble.

Danica waves her off. "Nah, they wouldn't mind. And besides, it looks like you need extra help." She said.

June smiles. "That would be nice." She said.

So, Jack and Danica put their research on hold as they help June make dinner. June wanted to make orecchiette nuts. It was somewhat complicated for her since she's always busy at work, she didn't have time to learn how to cook it. Luckily, Danica knows how to cook it as she helps June and Jack how to make orecchiette. After they finished making it, they all dine in as they enjoy the food while having a conversation.

"So, my cousin chased our neighbor's kid across the neighborhood after he pranked her. He climbed up on top of the tree and refused to come down when my cousin threatened him with a bat." Danica told them her family story.

Jack and June chuckled at Danica's story. "You have an interesting family, Danica." June complimented. "Do you think we can meet them?"

"Sorry, but they're in New York. I came here with a friend of mine." Danica said.

"I thought it was family matters?" Jack asked.

"It is, I came along since he's like a brother to me." Danica said.

"Why?" Jack asked.

"He wants to take pictures of the canyons of Nevada and Jasper is the closest place for me to continue my education." Danica said.

"That's nice." June said with a smile.

Jack, however, didn't say anything. For some reason, he could tell that Danica was lying. He didn't know why but he could sense it. After their conversation and diner, Danica and Jack decided to continue their project tomorrow.

"See ya tomorrow, Jack." Danica said as she left and got in her car.

Jack waves at Danica, who drives her car away. Jack has a strange feeling about this girl. He doesn't trust her, but she does show goodness. So, shrugging it off, Jack went inside his house as he closed the door behind him, unaware that he was being watched.

---

Back at the Helicarrier, Dark entered the meeting room where she saw Spider-Man, the others, and Fury. They were going to discuss Wolf Blade aka Jackson 'Jack' Darby. What they know is that he has incredible strength, speed, agility, and a powerful sonic howl. But what they didn't get was what's wrong with him. He seems like a nice guy, however, he changed when he became Wolf Blade. Dark didn't take too long to figure out why he was acting like that when she was at his house. Dark was greeted by Ripley, who barked at her happily as he sat in front of her. Dark smirks as she gave the dog good scratches on the head and under his chin, making his dog wag.

"So, care to explain about Wolf Blade?" Fury asked Dark, who got up and sat on the other side of the table with Ripley by her side.

Dark nodded. "I do, and I have some theories."

"And those are?" Fury asked.

"Well, one: I don't think our friend knows that he's Wolf Blade." Dark answered. They looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant. Dark saw their confused expression and continued her explanation.

"Let me explain, during Gym Class, I saw that Jack uses fast reflexes to protect this kid. But Jack didn't do it on his own. It was like instincts and I think that Wolf Blade is his split personality."

"You mean…Wolf Blade is his alter ego, right?" Spider-Man asked.

"In a way, yes. Wolf Blade is Jack's alter ego." Dark explains to them. "Wolf Blade was the one that we fought last night, not Jack. But he only comes out at night."

"Huh, by day: a regular teenager, but at night: Wolf Blade." Power Man said.

"Sound like he was sleepwalking." Nova said.

"Yeah, but here's another thing. I think that Jack inherited his powers." She explains.

"Inherited?" They all asked.

"Yeah, at his house, I saw his family picture. His dad has silver eyes like him." Dark added. "I think his dad has the same power as Jack and didn't teach him yet."

"If he didn't know that he had this power…he's using instincts." Spider-Man stated.

"And because of this, I think Jack doesn't even remember that he was the one who committed those attacks." Dark said.

"Why didn't his old man tell him about his power?" Nova asked.

Dark looks at him blankly before answering. "Jack's father died when he was young."

The room fell into silence. Nova didn't ask any further questions after that. Spider-Man felt sorry for Jack. He knows what it's like to lose a loved one. He lost his parents and his uncle, and it hurts a lot. Fury clears his throat to get their attention.

"I'll do some search about Jack's dad. Keep an eye on him and contact us if there's any changes." Fury said, earning a nod from Dark.

---

On the next day, Dark continues her work as Danica. She helps Jack with the project and learns more about him and his mom. Jack slowly warms up to her as a friend, Miko and Raf were happy that Danica became their friend. They finished their project on time and presented it well, earning both A pluses. Miko and Raf did their part too and got As. Danica became amused when Sierra and Vince did their report about frogs and Vince brought a tank of frogs. However, he didn't think before he acted as he tried to grab a frog in the cage for the presentation when one of the frogs jumped on his face. Vince screamed as he trashed around, bumping the teacher's desk, causing the cage to fall and releasing the frogs. The frogs hopped around the room and the whole class had to get the frogs. The teacher got annoyed by this and gave Vince and F while Sierra got an A minus. After the calls got the frogs back in the cage, they all went home when class was over, all except Vince who got in detention.

"Need a ride home?" Dark as Danica asked Jack.

"Thanks, but I have a shift at KO's Burger." He said.

"Didn't know you have a part time job." Dark elbowed him gently, earning a chuckle from Jack. "But I'll drop you off there." She offered.

"Thanks, but I already have a ride." Jack gestured to his motorcycle that was parked.

Dark raised a brow. Wondering where Jack got that Motorcycle. But she shrugs and waves at him. "Alright, see ya." She said.

Jack waves back and gets on his motorcycle to his work. However, Dark decided to go to his work to see if he had sudden changes. As she drove to KO's Burger, she saw Jack getting off his motorcycle and headed towards his work. Dark then notices a black truck with no license plate. The truck was parked close by where Jack was working. Dark narrowed her eyes at the van and noticed that there were people inside. Her eyes widened when she saw three familiar looking men that wore the same suits.

The Equal Salvation.

"What are they doing here?!" Dark hissed under her breath.

To her utter shock, the Equal Salvation went over to Jack, who saw them coming his way. He was about to get in the fast food restaurant when two Equal Salvation grabbed him. He struggles to break free from their hold. The Manager came running to the restaurant to help Jack, but the third Equal Salvation knocked him out with the back of his gun. Dark heard a girl screaming from inside, knowing that she was going to call the police. Dark quickly gets out of her car when she sees the two-man dragging Jack to the van.

"HEY!" Dark yelled out.

Seeing her, the men knocked Jack unconscious while the third one was going to stop Dark from advancing, but since he thought that Dark was a human because of her disguise, he failed to stop her as Dark knows different types of martial arts. Dark grabs the man's arm before he could strike a hit at her. Dark judo flips him to ground, causing him to yell in pain. The two other Equal Salvation saw their fellow comrade taken down. But they have a mission to finish. His comrade can handle this. They tossed the unconscious Jack onto the van before getting in and drove away at such speed. Dark was about to chase after them but the one that was left behind tried to stop her by tackling her. However, Dark uses her hands to prevent her from falling and flips herself upwards, kicking the Equal Salvation's chin before doing a roundhouse kick on his face, causing him to fall on the ground unconscious. Dark turned back to the vehicle and saw it was long gone. Growling in annoyance, Dark turns to the Equal Salvation member and roughly grabs his shirt and brings him up.

"Where are they taking him!?" Dark threatened him.

The Equal Salvation slowly wakes up from his unconscious state and glares at her under his mask. "T-This world shall be cleansed." He muttered.

Dark glares at him before punching him in the face, causing him to fall into unconsciousness again. Dark walks away and calls Fury about the situation.

"Fury, we have a problem." She said before leaving the scene when the police arrived at the scene, unaware that Jack's motorcycle had disappeared from its spot and chased after the van.

---

Arcee chases the van that has Jack captive, her holoform was on as she raced through the streets and towards the speeding van. They made their way out of the city towards the desert. Arce picks up the pace in order to catch up to them, however, one of the Equal Salvation brought out a machine gun and fires at her. This caused Arcee to lose balance and almost crashed, but that was enough for the Equal Salvation to get away, leaving Arcee behind. Arcee quickly transforms and contacts Optimus about the situation.

"Optimus! Jack's in trouble." Arcee said in alarm.

---

Meanwhile, at the Hospital of Jasper, June was seen coming out of the hospital towards her car. She was coming home to make dinner for Jack after he finished his work. but when she got to her car, she suddenly felt a cloth on her face, causing her to let out a muffled scream, however, her eyes became droopy before she fell into unconsciousness. She was then picked up by a member of Equal Salvation and was taken to a van, taking her to the same place where Jack is.

Unaware that her cell phone was left behind.

---

At the Autobot's Base, Arcee was being patched up by Ratchet after her fall. She told them everything that had just happened. The strange men that took Jack away. Miko was angry, whoever took Jack is going to face her wrath.

"Where did those jerks run off too!?" Miko asked angrily.

"I don't know, I lost them when they shot me." Arcee answered almost sounding ashamed, not able to save Jack on time.

"Did you at least get a good look on the captors?" Ratchet asked.

"I couldn't see their faces; their faces were covered by goggles. But they wear all white with black equal signs on the front of their chest." Arcee explained. "There was a girl that was able to stop one of them and the police took him. I think it was Danica."

"Danica got one of them?" Miko asked almost in awe, earning a nod from Arcee.

"Agent Fowler is going to integrate this man, hopefully he can get us the information we need." Optimums said.

"Do you think they work for MECH?" Raf asked worriedly.

"If so, then they're probably using Jack as bait to lure us to them." Ratchet said. "But I don't understand is why they took Jack-"

Bulkhead pounds his. "Who cares!? Let's go and find him before MECH can do anything on Jack!"

"One question, how are you going to find him?" Sideswipe asked.

Raf thinks before his face lights up. "Jack's phone! Maybe we can track it." He suggested.

Optimus turns to Ratchet. "Ratchet?" He questioned.

"I'm on it." Ratchet answered before heading towards the computer to find Jack's location.

Then they heard a honk coming from the tunnel. They turned around and saw Prowl and Smokescreen coming in their vehicle mode before transforming.

"Did you inform Ms. Darby?" Optimus asked them.

"She wasn't there." Prowl answered. "We only found her car and her phone."

Miko gasps in shock. "You think that MECH got her too?!"

"If so, we have to find Jack's location immediately." Optimus said.

Then there was a loud beep from Ratchet's computer, meaning he found the location. "AHA! This where Jack's location is." He informs them.

Optimus nodded and turned to his team. "Autobots, roll out!"

Before they transform, Miko runs over to them. "I'm coming too!"

"Miko, it is best that you stay here with Raf and Ratchet." Optimus said.

"But-"

"Don't worry, Squirt. We'll bring them back in one piece." Sunstreak assured before adding. "Or in pieces, depending if they're still alive."

Arcee elbowed him and turned to Miko. "We will bring him and June back, just stay here." She said.

They turned into their vehicle mode while Ratchet stayed behind with Miko and Raf as they watched them leave to rescue Jack and June from the captors. They just hope they can get there in time.

Jack slowly wakes from his unconscious state. The world around him was blurry, he adjusted his eyes a bit before he could get a clear view. He saw that he was in a cavern like cave. It was huge and filled with ancient drawings. Jack tried to move but his arms were restrained by chains from both pillars. He tried to free himself but no avail.

"Struggling is pointless." Said a voice.

Jack looked up and saw a man wearing a white suit with black shoulder pads and an equal sign on his chest. Even though he is wearing goggles, Jack could tell that he was glaring at him. Jack looks at him, almost like he was glaring back at him.

"W-Who are you?! And what I'm doing here?!" Jack sounded demanding.

"If you must know before your final departure, I will tell you who I am. I am known as Master Salvation, leader of Equal Salvation. And you, boy, are chosen to be the key."

"Key? Key of what!?"

"The key or purging lands from impurity!" Master Salvation said in a booming voice, spreading his arms wide to show Jack the drawings of ancient time. It shows a dark cloud, consuming anything from its path with people running for their lives. Jack stared at these drawings with wide and shocked eyes. This man was crazy! Why on Earth would he do such a thing!

"With this ancient cavern, it will help me reach my goal in creating a perfect world! A world with no impurity, a world only of perfection!" Master Salvation turns to Jack. "And you are the only thing that can activate its power."

"Why do you think I can open it? I don't even know how!" Jack exclaims.

Master Salvation glares at him. "You don't know your true potential, boy. For only the one with silver eyes can this ancient power be awakened."

"Wh-You think I have silver eyes?! They're blue!" Jack yelled.

"Hmph, typical. Can you not recall the nights that you stalked? Or the time that you took down those criminals every night." Master Salvation reminded. "Your eyes changed and gave you those powers."

Jack shook his head. No, it was him who caused those attacks. He was always in bed! He would never go out and do something so…savage! That's not him, that's not him!

"You're lying! There's no way I did those things!" Jack informs him.

"HA! It's all you, boy! It's in your blood! And you can't escape destiny!" Master Salvation yelled as he glared at him. "But don't feel like that, your time here won't be alone. Bring her!"

Jack was confused by this, but when he heard a familiar voice shouting, he immediately became worried when he saw his mom being dragged by two men. She was tied by the hands as she was dragged up the pyramid. When they reach to the top, June gasps to see her son.

"MOM!" Jack yelled in panic.

"Jack, what's going on?!" June asked in panic as she was brought to her knees by the men.

"Mom, we're going to get out of here, don't worry." Jack assured his mom.

"Oh, you cannot escape here, for you and your mother shall be the sacrifice to activate the purge!" Master Salvation said loudly, causing June and Jack to be scared and worry.

---

Agent William Fowler was walking towards the police station to interrogate the man that caused the kidnapping of Jack and possibly June Darby. He wants answers and this guy might have them. As he made his way to the police station, he went towards the counter to talk to the policewoman.

"Special Agent William Fowler, I heard that you have a man that possibly helps with the kidnapping of Jackson Darby." Fowler said.

The policewoman types in her computer and says. "Yes, but he's already taken."

"Taken? By who?"

"Agent Fury from S.H.I.E.L.D." The Policewoman informs him, causing Fowler to be shocked about this information.

---

Unaware of this, Fury was at the helicarrier and was looking at a one-way window. He glared at the Equal Salvation member. Fury knows about the Equal Salvation, they're terrorists whose only goal was to bring perfection to their world. Their leader remains a mystery, all he knows from Dark Twilight that they wanted to rid the world of all threats like superpowered beings, magic, and so on. He was a big threat to the world; he will not stop until this world is pure. Master Salvation and his group were hard to find, but they have one of their members. however, he won't answer their question. Luckily, Fury has Dark Twilight. She will be one who will be integrating him. That's her cue, Dark enters the room calmly. She looks at the man who was handcuffed on the table.

"Well, it looks like we meet again." Dark said casually. "You have some nerves kidnapping a teenager and his mother. That's right, I know that you took his mom along with him." Dark said to the silent man, she glares at him in annoyance as he refuses to speak.

"Tell me, where is your leader?" Dark asked dangerously. This only earned her silence from the man. Dark became really annoyed. She would've use torture on him, but she ain't wasting her time for this. Dark closes her eyes, taking a deep breath as she releases a blue mist from her mouth. This mist weakens the victim's brain function, unable to lie or keep secrets from her. The minion's eyes widened by the mist, he tried to cover his mouth, but he inhaled it and now he can't keep secrets.

"I'll ask again, where are they?" Dark asked dangerously.

"A-At a hidden cave…somewhere north of…of Nevada." He stuttered out.

"WHY do you need them?" Dark asked, eyes glowing dangerously.

"S-S-Sacrafffice." He muttered before he fell into unconsciousness.

Dark got up and went out of the room as the mist slowly disappeared. As she got out, she turned to Fury, who was walking towards her, and gave a simple nod.

"I got the info we need. If we hurry, we'll save them on time." Dark said.

"Spider-Man and the others are at the jet, and they're ready to go." Fury said.

Dark nodded before she used her shadow powers to zoom through the halls and to the upper deck. As she got there, she saw the others were waiting for her. They got in the jet before taking off to the location they needed to go. Dark was standing at the window, waiting to land, before she felt something besides her. looking down, she saw Ripley sitting next to her, wagging his tail happily.

"You brought Ripley, why?" Dark asked Spider-Man before she pats the Doberman Pinscher's head.

Spider-Man rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. "Sorry, he kinda followed us." He answered.

"Meh, we might need him in tracking them, just in case." She said.

The jet flies towards their destination. The jet landed somewhere far, so it won't be spotted. The gang went out and searched for the cavern. They were lucky that Ripley was here, he remembered the scent of Jack or better known as Wolf Blade as he tracked down his scent. They reach their destination as they hide behind the rocky cliff side. They peek behind the rock and see heavy guards on the ground that were guarding the entrance.

"That's the place." Dark said silently.

"It's heavily guarded." Spider-Man whispered. "How are we going to get in?"

"May we be of assistance?" A gentle voice said.

The teens turned around and saw Zosia, Xenthos, and Keizer. White Tiger, Nova, Iron Fist, and Power Man have no idea who these people are. However, Spider-Man and Dark know them well. They were the ones who helped them in the Ethereal Academy's 'bug problem'.

"What are you guys doing here?" Dark asked.

"Wait, you know them?" White Tiger asked.

"Long story." Dark and Spider-Man answered unison.

"We are here when we sensed a terrible threat." Zosia informs her seriously.

"Wait, you know what that is?" Nova pointed at the cavern.

"Yes, and it is filled with great danger." Zosia informs them seriously. "Come, we will take you inside."

"And how do you guys take us there?" Nova asked them.

Zosia summons her staff from thin air before she spins it around and taps the end on the ground. There was a small spark and suddenly a secret passage appeared from the ground. They, minus Dark, stared in shock by Zosia's action.

"We must hurry." Zosia said before she led them to the new passage.

Dark follows Zosia and the Corvus twins along with Ripley. The others soon followed them, and the passage closed behind them when they all entered. The entrance was dark, however, Zosia summoned a ball of light that helped them guide through the darkness. They were shocked to see the passageway. It was filled with drawings on the walls and symbols that they can't understand.

"Come, we are wasting time." Zosia informs them.

They understood and followed Zosia through the passageway while looking at the drawings on the walls. They've got to admit. They were kind of freaked out on what's going on. Yet they were curious on what's going on.

"Um…not to be rude, but what's going on?" White Tiger asked.

"Yeah, and who are you people?" Power Man added.

Zosia stopped and turned to them, causing the four teens to be nervous. However, Zosia didn't threaten them, she just looked at them in the eye with dead seriousness.

"Do you four vow to keep this a secret, till the end of time?" Zosia questioned them.

The four looked at each other and then at Zosia. They awkwardly agreed and suddenly a glow came from their chests, startling them in the process. They carefully touched their chests in shock, not sure what just happened.

"W-What just happened?" Nova asked in shock.

"You promised to never tell anyone about us, but if there is a reason, you can call upon me for explanation." Zosia said before continuous walking. The others quickly followed her as she and the Corvus Twins led them through the passageway.

"So…what is this place?" White Tiger asked, looking at the drawings in the wall.

"This cavern was supposed to be locked away, never to be seen again." Zosia explained. "It brought grave pain and suffering to all."

"W-What do you mean?" Spider-Man asked.

"Before any of you were born, Earth was filled with magic. Everywhere you go, the beauty of magic grows. However, there was a clan that used the magic in the wrong way and caused Earth to be stripped from any magic." Zosia explains.

"Wait, Earth used to have magic?" Spider-Man asked Zosia.

"It is true, Earth possessed powerful magic a long time ago but was stripped away when humans became greedy and corrupted." Iron Fist explained, remembering his Masters of K'un-Lun taught him.

"Indeed, it was stripped away by the Magical Council. The clan that caused this was forgotten, and their name was erased, but they were the reason why magic was no longer on Earth."

"Why is that?" Dark asked.

"They've created a magical machinery that stopped wars and battles."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Nova asked. "I mean, stopping wars."

"No, it was not, it only brought destruction on its path." Zosia said solemnly, causing five heroes to be paled. "This cavern had many names, but it was called the 'Purge'. It destroys anything on its path. Let it be villages, cities, men, women, children, animals, and all magical beings alike will be destroyed."

"Knowing the danger, few of the clan's people created it and with the help of the magic council, it was sealed away, preventing anyone from using it." Xenthos added as they walked through another corridor.

"If it's so dangerous, how did those guys find it? And why do they want it?" Spider-Man asked.

"The people, aka the Equal Salvation, wanted to bring perfection." Dark explained, remembering what the Equal Salvation wanted. "Their leader is named the Master Salvation. And I have a hunch that he's going to use the Purge to wipe out all life."

"But what does Jack have to do with this?" Spider-Man asked.

Zosia turns to him. "Does this Jack person have silver eyes?" She asked seriously.

"…Um, yeah. His eyes turned when he became Wolf Blade." Spider-Man explained.

"Oh no…" Keizer muttered in a dreaded voice.

"Oh no? I don't like the oh no, what's the oh no?" Nova asked in a panic.

"The only way for the Purge to be activated is to have someone with silver eyes and to be used as a sacrifice." Xenthos explained.

"Then why kidnapped his mother?" Iron Fist asked. "If he just needs the one with silver eyes, why take his mother."

"Again, oh no." Keizer said it again in a dreaded tone.

"Something tells me that's really bad." White Tiger said.

"Indeed, you said that it was Jack's mother, correct?" Zosia questioned, earning a nod from Iron Fist.

"What will happen if he has the mother too?" Nova asked.

"If Master Salvation has the one with silver eyes and the mother who conceived him, the Purge will wipe out, not just this land, but the whole planet out of life."

"Oh my God." Dark muttered, stopping from her tracks. "They're going to end the world by night."

"Not if we stopped them first, come on!" Spider-Man said.

They all rushed through the passageway to find Jack and his mom. They came to a dead-end until Zosia created a doorway. It opens on top of what appears to be a large platform. They hide behind the rocks to see what's going on. They saw Jack was strapped by two pillars on the arms. He struggles to break free. They even saw June tide on the other side, she was trying to break free from her restraints, fearing not just her life but her son's too. And on the center of the pyramid was Master Salvation. He stood tall on top of the pyramid while his followers were below the pyramid, waiting for his command.

"So, that's Master Salvation?" Spider-Man whispers to Dark.

"Yeah, and he's the craziest one of them all." Dark answered back quietly.

Master Salvation and his followers didn't see the heroes as the leader began his speech. "For years, our world has been plagued by impurity. They used their powers as if they are gods! Ha! They are nothing but devils in human skins."

"Okay, ew." White Tiger whispers in disgust.

"We don't use our powers to act like gods. We used it to protect the innocent." Iron Fist whispers to his team.

"Well, Dark would." Spider-Man pointed out to Dark.

"I would, but not now." Dark answered quietly.

Master Salvation walked towards Jack, who was glaring at him. "And now, we have found a way to cleanse this world from impurity, freeing ourselves from their scourge and bringing perfection to our world! For we are the Equal Salvation!"

His followers cheered at him. Dark lifts a finger and brings it on her head before spinning it around, telling the others that Master Salvation is crazy, which they agree with. Master Salvation looks at Jack with a glare.

"Now that we have the key, we shall cleanse this world! And create it in our own image!" Master Salvation announced before he took out a golden dagger that has silver jewels attached to the hilt. He turned to June and raised the dagger at her head.

"We shall start with the one who conceived the key, for her blood shall awaken the silver eyes power!"

"NO!" Jack yelled in anger as his eyes flashed into silver.

June screamed as she tried to break from her restraints when Master Salvation raised the dagger to strike at June when a bullet was fired and disarmed Master Salvation from his weapon. Master Salvation yelled in pain before glaring up to the direction of who did that. And to his anger, it was Dark and the others. Dark was holding a gun, which smoke was coming from it, as she gave him a murderous glare.

"Seriously? Kidnapping and sacrificing a mother and a son? That's low, even for you." Dark said.

"Yeah, just let them go and we'll be on our merry way." Spider-Man added.

Master Salvation glared at him. "Never! You and your impure friends shall not stop us! ATTACK!" He yelled. The Equal Salvation people brought out their guns and pointed at the heroes.

"MOVE!" Dark yelled.

The Equal Salvation fired, and they all dodge on time. Dark lands on the ground and summons a black scythe and she disarms the incoming attackers. Spider-Man uses his webs to trap them on the ground or wall. Power Man is immune to bullets as he shielded White Tiger and Iron Fist, allowing them to strike at the Equal Salvation. Xenthos and Keizer charged at the Equal Salvation with their fighting skills. Zosia uses her magic to push them away, sending them flying to the wall while Spider-Man traps them. Nova blasted them away, preventing them from firing. However, one of Equal Salvation got lucky and shot him down, even though he missed him by the foot, but this caused Nova to lose focus and crashed on the ground with a loud groan. The one who shot him was about to fire when Ripley charged at him, barking angrily, before biting the Equal Salvation by the arm. The Equal Salvation member yelled in pain as he tried to remove Ripley off his arm. This gave Nova a chance to blast him away, causing Ripley to let go. Ripley went over to check on Nova, who sits up with arms wide.

"Good boy!" He exclaims and hugs the dog. He lets go of Ripley before they attack the incoming attackers.

"STOP THIS! You have no idea what you are doing!" Xenthos yelled as he punched an Equal Salvation away.

"I know what I am doing! I am saving this world from impurity!"

"You're going to end this world if you try activating the Purge!" Spider-Man yelled as he trapped some members with his webs. "You'll destroy everyone and everything, including you!"

"So be it!" Master Salvation hissed as he glared at them before he picked up the fallen dagger from the ground and turned to June. Dark kicks at an incoming Equal Salvation and saw Master Salvation was about to strike June. She quickly turns to Power Man, who punched an Equal Salvation away.

"Power Man! Give me a boost!" She said as she charged at him.

Hearing this, Power Man quickly caught Dark and threw her towards June. Master Salvation was about to stab June when Dark came and kicked Master Salvation in the face, causing him to crash on the ground, Dark quickly cuts June free and helps her up.

"Jack!" June called out.

Dark was about to free Jack when Master Salvation got up and took out a revolver gun and fired. Like lightning, Dark grabs June and dodges by jumping off the pyramid. June screamed in terror as they plummeted to the ground.

"MOM!" Jack yelled in fear.

Luckily, Dark landed on her feet and carries June bridal style. Dark kicked an incoming Equal Salvation from striking her and June before taking her to safety. Jack struggles to break free, his silver eyes glowing like crazy as he began snarling like a wolf. Outside, the moon began to rise from the sky, and it brought energy to Jack. Jack continues snarling at Master Salvation, who was walking towards him with the dagger, and clutches it tightly before lifting it to strike at Jack.

"I shall cleanse this world from impurity!" He yelled.

He was about to strike the teen, when suddenly, Jack's eyes flashed as he released a silver sonic howl that sends Master Salvation flying and towards the ground. Master Salvation yelled as he crashed to the ground, making a crater on the process. Everyone, minus Dark, was shocked by this, until Jack grabbed the chains that were restraining him. With immense strength, Jack ripped the chains off the pillars with a loud roar. The chains have large chunks of the pillar, but Jack didn't care, he was free, but he wasn't himself. No, he allowed his anger and fear to consume Jack, and allowed HIM to come and take his place.

Wolf Blade is now in control of Jack's body.

Wolf Blade lets out a power howl that was heard for miles before jumping off the pyramid and lands on the ground, creating a giant crater. Wolf Blade glares at the Equal Salvation, who were pointing their guns at him, before he lets out a vicious snarl and uses the big chucks of the pillar that were attached to his chains as weapons, striking the Equal Salvations hard. They all yelled in pain as they were sent flying. Some fired at him, but Wolf Blade was fast as he dodged their attacks before kicking or striking them with makeshift weapons. Soon, the chains that hold the chunks of rocks broke, they crashed on some Equal Salvations, crushing them in the process. Wolf Blade growls at his attackers before he uses the broken chains as whips, striking at the incoming member of the Equal Salvation. June and the young heroes watched in shock to see Wolf Blade fighting skills while June became worried and shocked that her son was Wolf Blade, the vigilante that was stopping criminals from other states. They soon snapped out from the shock when the Equal Salvation started attacking them and they fought back. Dark protects June by carrying while using her legs to kick the attackers. Wolf Blade then summons his two curved sickles at the end of the chains and uses them at the Equal Salvation.

"How did he do that?!" Nova yelled as he blasted away some Equal Salvation.

Ripley tackles one Equal Salvation to the ground, biting him in the process to protect White Tiger as she kicks an incoming Equal Salvation. "Maybe that's one of his powers, summoning weapons."

"Like Dark!" Power Man tosses an Equal Salvation to some group that were coming their way.

"Yeah! But this is different!" Dark called out as she jumped and kicked another member.

Wolf Blade grabs his weapons as he kicks an incoming member before charging at Dark with a weapon raised as he was about to strike Dark, but when she turned, he froze. Carrying in her arms was June, Wolf Blade's silver eyes looked at June's fearful blue eyes. And seeing this, Wolf Blade didn't have the heart to strike at his own mother. His head shot up with a snarl before attacking an incoming member that was going to sneak attack Dark. This surprised Dark since Wolf Blade was going to strike her, but when she saw him looking at June. She knew that he didn't have the heart to kill his own mother. Then there was an explosion on the wall. They all turn to see the Autobots coming in. Seeing more threats, the Equal Salvation members brought more guns and fired at them. The others, minus Wolf Blade, were shocked to see them.

"Who the heck are they!?" Nova yelled.

"Friends of yours?" Dark asked June.

"Kind of." June answered in a fright.

The Autobots didn't harm the humans, just scared them away. Zosia could see the danger on the field and had to use the spell to bring the Equal Salvation on the ground. She claps her hands together and a magical aura comes through her body as she closes her eyes. Seeing this, the Corvus twins knew what she was going to do.

"Everyone hit the deck!" Xenthos yelled as he and his brother ducks on the ground.

Seeing this, the heroes, Dark, and Wolf Blade ducks. Dark shielded June while Nova shielded Ripley. Zosia snaps open her eyes and spreads her arms to release a magical wave. The Equal Salvation fell to the ground, stuck on the floor like if it was glue. They struggled to break free but no avail. The Autobots weren't glued to the ground, they were still standing. Everyone got up from their spot as Zosia came over to them.

"Is everyone alright?" She asked.

"What did you do to them?" Dark asked as she put June down.

"I used a binding spell to glue them on the ground, preventing them from harming anyone else." She said. "But this spell is temporary, we do not have much time until it wears off."

June looks at her son, he stands a few feet away from them. his weapons were still on his hands and was showing no signs of emotions. Seeing this made June's heart filled with sadness. She withdraws from the group, who looked at her, and towards her son quickly.

"Jack?" June whispers as she made her way to her son-

BANG!

Everyone in the cavern froze as they watched in shock as June was shot on the stomach. Wolf Blade's eyes widen in shock and horror as he drops his weapons on the ground to grab his falling mother in his arms. Wolf Blade's eyes were wide as dinner plates as he looked at his fallen mother, she was breathing rapidly as blood came from her stomach. They, minus Wolf Blade, turn towards the source. The one who shot her was Master Salvation. His attire was filled with cuts and his goggles were broken to reveal a brown eye. He was holding a gun and indicating that he was the one who shot June. But he made a grave mistake.

"What have you done?" Zosia whispered as she turned to Master Salvation with glowing eyes. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

"I did what I had to do! Cleanse this world from impurity!" He yelled.

"No, you made it worse!" Keizer yelled in anger.

Wolf Blade held his mother in his arms, her life was fading. His eyes began to fill with tears as June slowly lifted her shaken and yet bloody hand and caressed her son's face gently. Her mouth was spilling blood as she looked at her son weakly.

"J-J-Ja-Jack…" She whispered to him before she fell into unconsciousness.

Wolf Blade panted heavily, smelling the blood on his mother, knowing that she was killed by the man who wanted them dead! Anger and Rage boiled in his blood, his pupils vanished, and eyes began to glow, consumed by a silver light. Wolf Blade brought up his head and released a powerful sonic howl that shook the ground, creating giant cracks. The ceiling began to break as chucks of it fell on them.

"Incoming!" Nova screamed.

Zosia and Dark summoned protective shields on everyone, preventing the rubbles from crushing anyone. Zosia's binding spell releases the Equal Salvation as they tried to escape, but some got crushed in the process. Nova screamed as he held Ripley tightly. The Autobots fired at the rubbles that were going to crush them while protecting the humans. Wolf Blade continuous howling until shadows from the darkness came and consumed Wolf Blade in the process. As his howling stopped, he began to grow and changed. His body started to form, turning him into quadrupedal form. His size grew and grew until he's the same height as Optimus. The shadows removed themselves off from Wolf Blade to reveal a dangerous looking form.

Jack or Wolf Blade has turned into a massive wolf. Black fur, long smoke like tail, sharp teeth like swords, and eyes of silver. He bared his sharp teeth and released a powerful growl. Everyone slowly backs away as his aura releases a powerful wave of energy.

"What's going on?!" Nova yelled, still hugging Ripley who was whimpering.

"Master Salvation has awakened Jack's power, his True power." Zosia said out loud, eyes widened in shock.

"He released Jack's inner wolf." Dark whispered.

Wolf Blade roars at the intruders before he starts releasing powerful sonic howls, destroying the cavern. His sonic howls caused giant holes and cracks, destroying the walls and ceiling.

"What's wrong with him?!" Power Man yelled, avoiding the giant rocks from crashing on him.

"He lost his sense of morality. He wants revenge against the one who killed his mother!" Zosia said as she used a spell to turn a rubble into a cloud.

"Great job, Master of Idiots! You pissed him off!" Dark yelled as she jumped away to avoid a rubble that almost fell on her.

Master Salvation didn't care. All he did was laugh like a mad man as he watched as Wolf Blade destroyed the cavern. The others think that he lost his mind, which he did, as they tried to avoid the fallen rubble. They have no idea that there was a small black energy source coming from the pyramid. It was small but growing.

"What the hell are you laughing at?!" Dark yelled as she avoided another rubble.

"The Purge! It has begun!" Master Salvation yelled happily.

Zosia looks at the energy source forming on top of the pyramid. Her eyes widened in full shock and horror. For that is not the Purge, it was something else, and it's more dangerous. Zosia shook her head at the growing black energy.

"That is not the Purge." She said.

Spider-Man looked at her in shock and fear as he jumped away from getting crushed by a rock. "What is it!?" He asked loudly.

"The ceremony isn't complete. The Purge is not in it's full power." Zosia explains as the black energy grew and grew until it began to suck anything inside of it. "It has transformed into a portal!"

"Everyone, hold on to something!" Keizer yelled as he brought his sword and stabbed it on the ground and grabbed Power Man.

The dark energy grew resembling to a black hole and sucked anything in its path. The Autbots hold on to some giant rocks with all their might while Xenthos summoned his sword and stabbed it on the ground before grabbing White Tiger by the arm as she grabbed Iron Fist. Nova and Ripley were about to get sucked in until Dark summons a black spear and stabs it on the ground as she grabs Nova's leg as he holds on to Ripley. She brings them close to the spear and Nova holds on to it as well as Ripley. Spider-Man uses his web to anchor himself, preventing him from getting sucked in. Some Equal Salvations were sucked in the portal, screaming in the darkness. June was being sucked into the portal. Seeing this, Dark turns to Spider-Man quickly.

"Spider-Man!" She yelled.

Spider-Man looks at her and then June. And seeing that she was going to get sucked in, Spider-Man removed himself from his anchor and was flown off the ground to the portal. He grabbed June and used his web at Dark. She caught it and held on, preventing Spider-Man and June from succeeding in the portal. Master Salvation looks around the cavern as he watches as his followers were being sucked in the portal.

"No! It was supposed to cleanse the world!" He screamed.

Suddenly, a giant chunk of rock came behind him, crashing through Master Salvation and getting sucked in the portal along with the Leader of the Equal Salvation. They watched as the crazy man was sucked in the portal, hearing Master Salvation screamed through the portal that leads to the unknown. Wolf Blade continued mindlessly destroying the cavern, causing the portal to grow.

"Make him stop!" Nova yelled in fear.

"He can't! He saw his mother died! He wants revenge!" Xenthos yelled as he held on with Power Man.

"We have to figure out how to close the portal!" Spider-Man yelled as he held June tightly.

"I know how." Zosia said, her voice echoed like a celestial being.

The portal did not suck her in as she walked towards as if it was nothing. She stood near the pyramid as her eyes glowed like the sun. she lifted both her arms up, summoning her staff. She held it tightly as she closed her eyes and muttered a spell. Her staff glowed like her eyes as a magical aura came to her. She ignores Wolf Blade's rampage on destroying the cavern.

"Jack stop!" Arcee yelled towards Jack, who did not listen.

"We have to stop him before that portal grows even more!" Smokescreen yelled, remembering what he heard from Zosia.

Sunstreak saw something pointed out. "Maybe she knows!"

They followed her gaze to see Zosia was covered by a powerful flow of energy. Her eyes were still closed as she held onto the staff near her face. She mutters a spell that summons multiple light spheres behind her. Everyone, minus the Corvus Twins, watched in shock as Zosia snapped open her glowing eyes and slammed the end of her staff on the ground. The spheres strike at the portal like suns entering a blackhole. In the process, the portal began to glow and shifted dramatically. It stopped sucking everything, causing Spider-Man to fall on his behind while everyone was put down, as it began to shake violently.

"What's happening?!" White Tiger asked in fear.

"It's gonna blow!" Dark yelled.

"Everyone out!" Keizer yelled.

Zosia opens a doorway for them to get out. Spider-Man carries June to the doorway. Nova puts Ripley down as they all run in the doorway, closing behind when Zosia comes in after. The Autobots did the same as they tried to escape, but Wolf Blade or Jack didn't leave as he continued his rampage.

"Jack! Let's go!" Arcee yelled at him, but again, Jack's wolf form didn't listen to her.

Smokescreen grabbed her arm. "We have to go!" He said loudly through the sonic howls.

"We can't leave him!" Arcee yelled.

"He won't listen to us! We don't have a choice!" Smokescreen said.

Arcee looked at a rampaging Jack, she was hesitant, but she painfully turned away and transformed along with Smokescreen as they escaped the fallen cavern. Wolf Blade continuously destroys the cavern until the portal explodes, causing the cavern to fall.

---

Outside, a secret passage was opened, allowing the heroes and Dark to get out. And quickly took cover when the cavern exploded. They didn't saw the Autobots retreating from the area and back to the base. They got up and saw the cavern where the Purge used to be was now destroyed, forever forgotten. Spider-Man snapped out from his thoughts when he heard a groan coming from June, meaning that she was still alive, yet her life was slowly draining away.

"We need to stop the bleeding!" Spider-Man said.

"Put her down gently. White Tiger, contact Fury, now!" Dark ordered as she and Spider-Man carefully put June on the ground while White Tiger contacted Fury. "We need something to cover the bleeding."

"Here!" Spider-Man made a web-like cloth and gave it to Dark. She uses it to cover June's wound before it could get worse.

"Fury is on his way." White Tiger said, looking at June with pity.

"We don't have time! She's dying!" Nova screamed in panic.

Zosia came to them and kneels beside Dark. "Allow me, I will stop the bleeding, until help arrives."

Dark looks at Zosia and nods. "Do it."

Zosia gently placed her hand on the wound that was covered by the web and closed her eyes as she muttered a spell. A glow of energy came from her hand, stopping June's bleeding in process. Once she is done and withdraws her hand, June lets out a loud gasp, panting from the sudden rush. Everyone, including Dark, was relieved to see her well. June fell into unconsciousness until help arrived. Suddenly, they heard the ground shake. They turn towards the destroyed cavern and a sonic howl erupted from the rubbles. They all watched in shock and surprise to see Jack in his giant wolf form. His wounds were slowly healing what looked like shadows. Jack or Wolf Blade glared at their direction. Everyone, minus Zosia, got into battle ready. They waited for the giant wolf to strike but he didn't. Instead, he just turns and leaves, running from them, going somewhere far, far away. And never to be seen again. They just stared in shock on what just happened.

"Okay, what just happened?" Nova asked.

"I have no idea." Dark muttered before they saw a helicarrier coming from the sky, ready to get them.

They along with Zosia and the Corvus twins brought June to the infirmary where Dr. Connors will check on her. They were infirmary as well as they were getting checked if they have any wounds. The Helicarrier was heading back to New York, where they will be safe for now. Dark looked over to the entrance and saw Fury coming in.

"What happened down there?" Fury asked the team.

"Long story, but there's good news and bad news." Dark said as she saw Fury waiting for her answer. "The good news, we stopped the Equal Salvation's plan from ending the world. The bad news…we lost Wolf Blade."

"How did you lose him?" Fury asked again.

Before Dark could answer, Zosia stepped in. "He transformed into his primal state. He lost all mortality of who he is after he witnessed his mother getting shot." She explains, looking at the unconscious June.

"Hello, Zosia, I see you and the Corvus twins are here." Fury greeted.

"Wait, you guys know each other?" Nova asked in shock as a doctor checked on him.

Zosia nodded. "Yes, but it is a tale that will be told another time." She said before turning to Fury. "You have to make a story in order to hide the truth."

"It has to have something to do with Jack and his mom, right?" Spider-Man asked.

"Yes, it is best that Ms. Darby will live with me and my family, where she will be safe." Zosia said.

"And Jack?" Dark asked.

"Me and Keizer will try to find him, and maybe bring him back some senses." Xenthos explained almost sadly.

Spider-Man looks at Dark. "I guess you have to go to Memorial High, your last day is tomorrow before heading home." He said.

Dark nodded. "Yeah, let's just hope the public believes your story." She said to Fury.

"Don't worry, I have my ways." Fury said before turning to Dark. "You should get back to Jasper and get ready to leave Memorial High before anyone gets suspicious."

Dark nodded and left, but not before she turned to June's unconscious state and then turned to the others.

"Take care of her." She said softly before leaving. There was a dead silence, they were shocked and surprised to hear say that.

"Did she say something nice?" Nova asked his teammates, earning a bark from Ripley.

"Our latest news, June and Jack Darby were kidnapped by an organization called the Equal Salvation." Said the woman reporter in a car's radio. "Reports say that they kidnapped them for a ritual sacrifice. Luckily, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was able to rescue them and now are in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s protective custody. Not yet sure what happened to the Equal Salvation, but-"

Dark, disguised as Danica turns off the radio as she drives towards Memorial High School. She got to admit, Fury did an excellent way to make the public believe the story, preventing any suspicion and also not mentioning that Jack was actually Wolf Blade. Dark was going there to say her farewell to Miko and Raf. She'll be leaving today and head home before the holidays. As she made it to the school, she got out of her car and saw Miko and Raf walking sadly to school. She guessed they heard about the news. Miko saw Dark at the school and gently nudged Raf. The young boy looked at her and then Dark's direction and was surprised to see her. they made their way towards their friend, happy to see her that she was okay.

"Hey, I heard about the news…sorry on what happened to Jack." She said to them.

Miko smiles at her. "It's okay, we're just glad that Jack and Ms. Darby are okay." She said.

"Are you going to class?" Raf asked her.

Dark shook her head. "Nah, actually I'm here to say farewell." She said, causing the two friends to look at her in shock. "Yeah, that was kind of a bit corny."

"N-No, it's just…you're leaving?" Raf asked her.

"Yeah, my friend finished his work and is heading back to New York. The principal knows and understands." She explained. Truth be told, Dark used a spell on the principal on the phone, so she can leave.

Miko and Raf were saddened by this, but they understand that their new friend had to go home. "We're gonna miss you, Danica." Raf said.

"Yeah! You're the only one who can kick Vince's butt!" Miko said cheerfully.

Dark grins and ruffles their head. "I'm gonna miss ya guys too. You're the only ones who are more entertaining than our boring classmates."

Miko and Raf laughed happily before the bell rang in their school, indicating that class was going to start soon. "We should be going now, safe trip, Danica." Raf said.

Dark gave a small salute. "Thanks, I'll see you guys soon." She said before looking at Miko and gave her a wink. "Stay out of trouble, Miko."

"I'll try, but trouble finds me anyway." Miko said with a grin.

Dark smirks at her. "See ya guys soon." She said before getting in her car and driving away while Raf and Miko wave at her.

She drives away from Jasper and towards the desert. Soon, Dark was then transported back at the helicarrier by Zosia. She was in the lab that has Zosia, the Corvus Twins, and Dr. Connors inside. June was on a hospital bed, still recovering from her injuries. She nodded at them before she headed out of the room and towards the landing dock upstairs. When she was up there, she saw the snowy city of New York. She went over the edge to look at the city, releasing a cold air from her nose. Ripley came up from the base along with Fury as they went over to Dark. Dark saw them and petted Ripley gently when he came to her.

"So, how long have you known about Zosia and the Corvus Twins?" She asked him. Fury was silent for a moment but knows he can't keep secrets from her or else she'll use brute force.

"I know them before you did." He answered.

"And you know what I am and where I came from this whole time?" She added as she scratches Ripley gently.

Fury nodded. "Yes, and also about your 'other friends' too." He added, mentioning the D-Squad.

Dark looks up at him before she gives a small smirk. "Well played, Agent Fury. Well played indeed." She said. "We'll talk more about this soon, I have to get home before Christmas."

"I'll contact you if we have any missions that are too risky for the other heroes." Fury informs her.

Dark smirks before becoming quiet for a few seconds. "Have you found where Jack's location is?"

"No, the Corvus Twins are still searching for him. But if anyone spotted a giant wolf, I'll let you know." Fury said to her, earning a nod from Dark. Fury turns and leaves, as he heads back to his office.

When the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. left, Spider-Man came up, watching Fury leave, before making his way towards Dark. "Hey, Dark. I heard you were about to leave." Spider-Man said.

Dark nodded. "I was, but something tells me that you're here for a reason." She said.

"As a matter of fact, yes. Back there, in the caverns, you show concern to others instead of leaving us."

"Yeah, so?"

"And when we were rescuing the dogs, you wanted them safe." Spider-Man added.

"What are you getting at?" Dark asked, raising a brow.

"You're not as bad as I thought you were." Spider-Man said with a smug smirk under his mask.

Dark stared at him, arms crossed, not sure whether to agree to him or punch him on the face for saying that. But the kid has a point, she was getting a little soft, only a little. Dark just has a small smirk and looks at Spider-Man.

"Touché, Spidey." She said before turning to the big screen on the big city. "Oh! Almost forgot, Angi asked me to give this to you when I finish my mission." She said as she took out what appears to a small frame that was wrapped in green gift wrap with a red ribbon. Spider-Man takes the gift and looks at it. He then looks at Dark suspiciously.

"Wait, is this one of your pranks?" He questioned.

"If it is, it would've blown up right now." Dark added almost dryly. "And besides, Angi isn't much of a prankster."

Spider-Man couldn't help but look at her and the gift. He couldn't help but smile under his mask, it was nice of Shadow Angel to do that, even though she barely knows him. Dark then turns and points at the big screen in the city.

"I also have a gift for you, Spidey. And you're gonna like it." Dark said with a shocked grin. Spider-Man was confused before looking at the big screen that was far below the helicarrier. John Jonah Jameson was on the big screen, his eyes shrunk like he was hypnotized.

"Spider-Man is a great superhero. He is not a threat to the city. And I'm a big fat lier and doody head." He said out loud in a hypnotic voice.

Spider-Man stared at the screen shock. He doesn't know if it was right or wrong. Part him wants Dark to stop but part of him once to ignore that and let it play. Spider-Man shook his head as he looked over to Dark, who was grinning at her work.

"I don't know if I should be grateful or not." Spider-Man said but smiled under his mask. "But thanks, Dark."

"Glad ya like it." Dark said with a wicked grin. "Welp, gotta go, Christmas is almost here. Keep an eye on Ripley for me?"

Ripley barks happily while panting his tongue. Spider-Man patted Ripley's head gently. "I will. I think he'll be a great S.H.I.E.L.D. mascot." He said.

"I'm sure he will. See ya!" Dark said before she jumps off the edge and transforms into a raven and flies home while Spider-Man waves at her leaving form. As she leaves, Spider-Man looks at a gift that Shadow Angel has given to Dark to him. Curious on what this is, Spider-Man rips open the wrapping paper to see what it is, and his eyes widen on what he saw. It was a picture frame of him as a kid and there were two other kids with him. A boy with brown hair and eyes with strange markings on his face. And a girl with black hair and blue eyes. They were smiling happily as they were inside what appears to be a laboratory. Spider-Man looks up to where Dark's disappeared and wonders one thing.

"Who are these guys?" He whispered curiously.

As Spider-Man stood outside with Ripley, the scene changed to night, revealing a dry landscape of a canyon. And running through it was Jack's giant wolf form. He was running non stop. He has no destination that he was going, he just kept running to who knows where. He stopped for a while to look at the moon above. It was shining down at him, like if the moon was watching over him. Jack's wolf form stared at a few seconds before releasing a powerful howl, as if he was warning anyone that if they get in his way, there will be hell to pay. Once he finished, Jack's wolf form sprinted off again, and towards an unknown location.

No idea what was up ahead.

And done! Yes! So sorry for the long wait. I was busy preparing for my first day of school next week. Thanks for being patient and I'll work on the other stories soon, starting with Moana and Her Night Fury rewrite. And, yes, Fury knows about Val and the others about their powers. Because he has his ways. Plus, I was inspired by the dodgeball scene from this movie in Cartoon Network in 2010 called Firebreather.

Also, Happy Father's Day!
