Faith

Stay alive. Stay alive. That was the only thing she had to do. If she could make it into the locker room. Faith ran and kept running. She only stopped to open the door the locker rooms and sighed in relief. She ran to the locker where she had put her regular clothes and dialed Morning Star.

"Please pick up." Faith begged.

"Hello? You have reached Morning Star Academy, this is headmaster Amanda Morningstar speaking how may I help you?" Amanda said.

"Ms. Morningstar it's me Faith, the Black Church is under attack, you have to send people right away!" Faith panicked.

"What? Calm down and stay put. Who is attacking?" Amanda asked.

"Someone called Cyrus, it seems like Hell Priest knows him." Faith panicked.

"Oh god," Amanda said.

From her tone Faith could tell that she was scared of him. Who could possibly scare Ms. Morningstar and Hell Priest? As she was thinking this something sharp struck her hand, causing the phone to fall. Faith hissed in pain and looked at her attacker.

Standing in front of her was a boy who looked like he was around her age. He wore metal braces and greaves, the rest of his body was covered in tight black fabric. Faith's eyes went to his head. On top of it was yellow conical hat. If she didn't want to kill the boy, she might even think he was cute. Her eyes went down to his tail. Faith did a double take; he had a tail. It was long and armored, it's tip forked like a scorpion's.

That must have been what he hit her with.

"Who are you?" He asked.
Faith crossed her arms. "Excuse me you attacked me!"

"I didn't attack you, I just pushed your phone out of your hand." He frowned.

Faith held up her hand, a bone blade making it's way out of her wrist. She pointed it to the boy who gulped. Did he just gulp? Was he afraid of her? What kind of villain was this guy?

"Get out of my way and I won't have to hurt you." She said.

The boy held his tail up, the sharp point aiming for Faith. "I think you should stay where you are, Cyrus said you couldn't be trusted."

"You trust Cyrus." She hissed.

He frowned. "Why shouldn't I?"

"He's a psychopath! He attacked us!" She yelled.

"He didn't mean to hurt anyone; he just needs to get what he came for then he'll leave. Then we'll all leave." He said.

Faith frowned. He really was the worst villain ever, he let it slip that they had something Cyrus wanted.

Faith growled and pointed her blade at him. "Move, final warning."

"I really don't want to fight you." He sighed.

She ignored him and charged, he yelped and swung his tail. The large forked weapon flying towards her. Faith rolled out of the way quickly.

Verity

Quirk: Scorpion- Grants him many of the properties of a scorpion, including black armor surrounding his torso, his tail, and the accompanying stinger. From that stinger, he produces venom capable of paralyzing people. The amount of time needed for it take effect is dependent on how much venom he injects.

"Cool tail." Faith said.

He blushed. "Thank you."

"I was being sarcastic." She growled.

She charged again her blade pointed to his chest. He moved his tail, making it act like a shield. The movement was slow, allowing Faith to roll under it and thrust her blade to his side. He rolled out of the way.

"You're violent." He gasped.

Was he out of breath? Was this really the person Cyrus sent after her?

"You're an awful villain." She said.

She leaped in the air and creating two bone blades in front of her elbows, she aimed them for his shoulders, however his tail slammed into her knocking her off course.

He frowned. "I'm not a villain."

"Let's see what would you call a person that attacks innocent people?" She said.

She swung her bone blade towards his chin, but he caught her wrist and threw her backwards.

"I think believing that you're opinion is the only one that matters is more dangerous." He said.

"Who the hell are you!" She snarled.

"Cyrus calls me Verity." He said.

Faith growled and stood up. "Well Verity, take this."

She charged, bones appearing all over her body acting like an armor. Verity's tail moved quickly striking Faith in the shoulder. Faith yelped in pain, while Verity gasped.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stab you." He yelped.

Faith collapsed to the ground. She wasn't out of this yet; she was going to kick his ass. She tried to get up, but she couldn't feel her legs. The lower part of her body tingled, soon that tingly crawled to the rest of her body. Before she knew it she couldn't even move her neck.

"I'm sorry. Oh my god I'm so sorry." Verity sobbed.

He really looked remorseful. Faith might have even comforted him if the venom from his tail hadn't paralyzed her. Verity took off in a sprint, leaving Faith on the ground, her entire body numb.


Fouzia

"No Hunter." Fouzia hissed.

Hunter stomped his foot dramatically. "Please let me copy your physics homework."

"Hunter, school just started how are you already behind?" Lex asked.

Hunter crossed his arms. "I came here to be a hero, not to learn science."

"Well this is still a high school and you are still a teenager. Morning Star isn't all fun and games."

The three were currently walking to their next class, which they just so happened to say together. While they had all their hero classes with the same kids, the normal school classes (math, science, etc.) were a mix of classes and grades. It was just like normal high school, only you got a hero license when you graduated not a diploma.

They made their way to the classroom. They chose to sit in the middle of the classroom, that's where Maryanne and Jarret were sitting. The two teens waved at the others.

"Hey guys." Maryanne said.

"Am I the only one that misses the others?" Lex asked.

"Well I miss Faith and Alexander…that's about it." Fouzia remarked.

Hunter smirked. "I miss Victoria's ass."

Fouzia rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Pig."

"What I'm a pig, because I appreciate fine art?" He asked.

"I miss Faith too." Lex sighed.

"I miss Victoria too; my room is so quiet without her. Granted she doesn't talk to me anyway, but her presence is welcoming." Maryanne said.

The door shut and their science teacher, Mr. Ross. He was handsome man with light skin and dark hair. His eyes were a beautiful shade of sapphire blue. Fouzia blushed, now she saw why the senior girls called him Mr. Dreamy.

"Hello class, I'm Mr. Ross, you all may know me as the Hero Conduit." He smiled.

Fouzia wished Kaleb was here, he would have loved to meet another pro hero.

"I assume you've all done the summer assignments?" He asked.

The room as silent, causing him to laugh. "Don't worry guys I get it, homework over summertime sucks. Don't worry if you turn it in by next class, I'll give you full points." He smiled.

Hunter turned to Fouzia and smirked. "I like this guy."

Fouzia blushed, she was liking him too.

Before he could say another thing, Ms. Morning's voice was heard over the intercom.

"Teacher's please check your emails."

Fouzia's stomach dropped. Whenever a principal said that over the intercom everyone knew something bad was about to happen. Mr. Ross smiled.

"Don't worry guys, it's proably just news about a pep rally." He said.

He went over to his laptop and typed in his email. "Oh my god."

His face fell and his eyes got watery. He forced a smile. "It's nothing guys." He said.

"Mr. Ross what's going on?" Fouzia asked.

He sighed. "There was an attack."

Lex stood up and frowned. "Sir, what's under attack?"

"The Black Church. Class is dismissed, everyone go back to their dorms, they're asking for all heroes to report to the scene." He said.

"Who is important enough where we need all the heroes to fight them?" Hunter asked.

"Don't worry your classmates are going to be fine, just everyone go in their dorm rooms. Some teachers will be on guard to make sure no gets in the school." He said.

"You mean to make sure we don't get out." Fouzia hissed.

"I trust you all not to do something foolish, like try and save the day." He said.

"Sir my best friend is there!" Lex yelled.

Mr. Ross sighed. "I know you guys are close them. But you must leave this to the professionals, we can't put any more lives at risk."


Alexander

Someone was hunting him. Alexander had been running all over the arena and he could tell that much. He could sense someone was following him. There must have been more villains in the church. Alex stopped. He couldn't keep running. They would catch him eventually.

Footsteps. They were soft, whoever was chasing him was light on their feet. His attacker pounced, moving incredibly quickly, Alexander grunted and leaped out of the way.

Alexander looked at his attacker and gasped. It was Carlos de Rivera aka Rey Tigre, he was on the FBI's most wanted list. He was a notorious killer and gangster. There were even rumors he even killed his own brothers.

"Hello there little one." He said.

Alexander gulped. He tried to contain his fear, if he was able to sense he was scared he would take that as a sign of weakness.

"Do you know who I am?" He asked.

His tone was soft, not soft like caring, but soft like there was no emotion in soul. Just a shell of a human being.

"I know who you are Rey Tigre." Alexander said.

This was bad, really bad. There was a serial killer hunting him. Where were the others?

"I know who you are too." He said carefully.

He walked slowly to Alexander, Alexander kept his stance, refusing to falter.

"You're Alexander Aspida, son of the Guardian. Did you know your father helped put me away?" He asked.

Alexander gulped. "I know."

"But I escaped, I always escape. When Cyrus recruited me, I was skeptical. I don't like following orders." He said.

Rey Tigre leaned down to look at Alexander in the eye. "Then he told me the son of the man that put me away would be here, I just couldn't pass it up."

Rey Tigre did a sharp inhale. "You smell delicious."

With that he pounced, leaping towards Alexander. His body grew until he was ten feet tall, his arms began to grow orange and black fur. His teeth sharpened turning into fangs and his eyes began to glow bright yellow.

Rey Tigre

Quirk: Were-Liger- Rey Tigre can take on the hybrid form of a liger, allowing him to grow in size and strength. Like ligers, he gains strength from the night.

Alexander squealed and jumped out of the way. How was he going to win this fight? He needed a plan. Rey Tigre charged, he leaped into the air and landed on the walls bouncing off it for momentum, his body sailing towards Alexander. He was moving so quick Alexander didn't even have time to roll out of the way as the villain landed on top of him.

He snarled opening his mouth, his sharp fangs angled towards him. His head dove down sinking it's teeth into Alexander's shoulder. Alexander screamed in pain, it felt like his shoulder was exploding. He looked down and saw blood speeding from his shirt. Spots danced over his eyes. Alexander growled in frustration; he wasn't dying today.

He swung his elbow, his hit landing right on the monster's snout. Rey Tigre yelped in pain as Alexander rolled from underneath him.

"Athena give me strength." Alexander coughed.

That bite took a lot out of him, he was losing a lot of blood. Rey Tigre got up and hissed. He charged towards Alexander. Alexander paused and took a good look at Rey Tigre. Alexander started to count in his head, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-

Rey Tigre cut him off by charging again, Alexander gulped and leaped out of the way. However, Rey Tigre had already adjusted to this and swung his claws, aiming for Alexander's chest. The boy gulped and did a backflip, just narrowly missing the attack.

Rey Tigre howled, bits of Alexander's blood dripping from his fangs. Taking a stance, he did a high kick, however Alexander was prepared and dove under it. Using the last bits of energy, he had he kicked Rey Tigre in the throat.

The were-beast howling in pain. He growled and grabbed Alexander by his throat and threw him against the wall. Alexander didn't want to, but he couldn't help but scream. He landed right on his left shoulder. The same shoulder Rey Tigre took a bite out of.

Alexander gulped. What if he didn't make it out of here? He could barely stand, and his vison was starting to get blurry. Rey Tigre looked at him carefully. A predator eyeing its prey.

"You won't make it much longer, why don't we just end this game and let me finish you off." He said.

He licked his lips and smirked. "You're blood taste delicious."

How much more of this could he take. He stopped when he took a good luck at Rey Tigre. He smirked. Ten seconds had passed, he could use his quirk. Ears, snout, eyes, fire alarm, lights. Suddenly everything seemed clear to Alexander.

Alexander grunted and dug his fingers into his wound. He pulled them out slowly, his fingers dripping in blood.

Alexander held his fingers towards Rey Tigre. "You said I tasted good; how does it smell?"

Rey Tigre's eyes widened. Alexander grinned; his plan was working. His pupils were dilating as he did a sharp inhale. Ligers were incredibly sensitive to smell, in this close distance Alexander's blood proably smelled like a buffet to starving man.

"It smells good doesn't it?" Alexander said.

He needed Rey Tigre to lose control. "Come and get me, show me who's the big cat of the jungle."

He howled and charged. Alexander smirked and did a flip in the air. Of course, Rey Tigre leaped up following him, using his free leg, Alexander kicked the light panel above them, breaking the glass. Rey Tigre screamed the bright lights burning his eyes.

To the normal eye, it would be just a normal light, but ligers were five times more sensitive to light than humans. It proably felt like a sun was exploding in his face. While he was blinded Alexander took this opportunity to kick him in the face.

He looked up at the sparks from the lights and smirked as one of them flew high enough to hit the smoke detector.

Soon a loud fire alarm rang, Alexander had never been so happy to hear the painful nose. Rey Tigre screamed, his body curling up in a ball. He howled in pain, his body spasming uncontrollably.

Another thing liger's were sensitive to, loud noise. Alexander paused he had the villain down, but he wasn't sure what to do. Should he run or fight? He didn't know how long the villain would be down for, and he wasn't if in his state he could outrun him. If he fought him, he didn't know how long his advantage would last for. Alexander sighed.

His shoulder wound was bad, he needed to go. Alexander took off in a sprint, trying to put some distance between him and Rey Tigre. Just when he thought he was far enough he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a set of claws in his chest. He gasped in pain; he didn't even have enough energy to scream.

"Sorry kid, but I always win." Rey Tigre said.

With that, he yanked his claws out of Alexander, his body going numb. That was the last thing Alexander remembered before everything went black.


Sarah

"My feet hurt." Sarah complained.

Victoria rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry I couldn't accommodate to that."

The two girls were riding on two black bikes Victoria created. The texture of the bike was the strangest thing Sarah had ever touch. Although it was solid it was also soft. She could still see little swirls of shadows in the material if she looked close enough.

"Sarah, Victoria!" A voice called.

They turned to see Jake and Aerolynn run towards them. Victoria sighed in relief.

"Thank god you guys are okay." Victoria said.

"Have you guys found anyone else?" Sarah asked.

Aerolynn shook her head. Sarah gulped. That meant Matt was still out there. Who knew what he was facing? Almost as if on cue, a loud scream filled the arena. Sarah gasped. She knew that voice anywhere.

"That's Matt." Sarah said.

She took off in a sprint to the sound of the scream.

"Sarah wait, we can't just run in without a plan." Victoria yelled.

"I'm going to kick some ass, that's the fucking plan!" Sarah yelled.

Rage fueled her as she thought of someone hurting Matt. Her Matt.

"It's time we ended this." Sarah snarled.


Matt

Matt watched the fight from the roof. Hell Priest was summoning demons left and right. Creatures of nightmare. Some were hybrids of animals and humans, some were made out of black goo, and some even looked like the Kardashians.

Cyrus fought them all effortlessly. He literally tore through them, punching and kicking the demons to dust. He didn't even seem fazed.

"Come on Lucas." He hissed. "Make it a challenge at least? Don't you have a more interesting demon? What about the devil?"

"The devil is a fallen angel, not the same thing." Hell Priest growled.

He pulled a mace from his belt and charged at Cyrus. Cyrus dodged the attack of the mace and grinned.

"You're getting angry Lucas, did I strike a nerve? You were always so sensitive." Cyrus smirked.

"Shut up!" Hell Priest growled.

He swung the mace again, aiming for Cyrus's chest, however the weapons passed through Cyrus like he was made of mist. Hell Priest and Cyrus knew each other, Matt knew that much. He could get under Hell Priest's skin in a way only an old friend could.

"Matt." A voice called.

Matt turned to see Kaleb crouching on a beam a couple of feet away from him.

"What are you doing here?" Matt hissed.

"I didn't want to leave Hell Priest alone with him." Kaleb said.

Kaleb pointed to them fight. "Should we help him?"

"Not yet, we should see where this is going? He wouldn't want us to put ourselves at risk." Matt said.

Their eyes went back to the fight. Cyrus dodges every attack Hell Priest threw at him.

"You're pathetic." Cyrus grinned.

"I'll kill you." Hell Priest hissed.

Cyrus sighed. A mock sense of pity crawling on his face. "No, you won't, because I brought her."

Matt and Kaleb looked to the other side of the battlefield. Standing there was a woman who appeared to be in her forties, she was six feet tall, with tan skin. Her hair was scarlet, something Matt couldn't help but find mesmerizing. She wore a black, shoulder-less dress with long sleeves and an X-shaped belt with a circular buckle around her waist.

"Scarlet Overkill, can you please dispose of my friend?" Cyrus asked.

"With pleasure." She grinned.

She held up her hand, and Hell Priest's face became redder than a tomato.

"What the hell?" Matt whispered.

With that Hell Priest collapsed on the ground. Matt frowned. Why did that that woman seem so familiar?

"Oh god, is he going to be okay?" Kaleb asked.

Matt was so stuck in his own thoughts; he forgot the boy was there.

"Everything is going to be fine." Matt said.

Where did he know that woman from?

Cyrus leaned over Hell Priest's unconscious body and smirked. "Now this reminds me of the good old days. Let's get what I came for and then grab the others."

"You said Quickstep would be here." Scarlet Overkill frowned.

"I thought she would be, don't worry you'll have another chance to attack your favorite heroine." He smiled.

Kaleb shifted; his large body must have been uncomfortable crouching for so long. Unfortunately, this movement caused a piece of rubble to fall on the ground below them. The moment happened so fast, Matt couldn't even think to stop it. The piece of rubble landed right in front of Scarlet Overkill and Cyrus.

The duo looked up at the boys and raised an eyebrow.

"Well this is an intriguing sight." Cyrus grinned.

He licked his lips. "It's been so long since I've killed a Morning Star student."

He turned to Scarlet Overkill and smiled. "Bring them down."

She nodded and pulled a knife from her belt. She dug the blade into her palm without even flinching.

"Come on Matt let's get out of here!" Kaleb yelled.

Matt nodded and prepared to summon another gust of wind when he felt something wet grab him. He screamed in shock and tumbled down landing on the ground roughly. He looked up and saw something pulling Kaleb too. It was a large hand made out of crimson liquid.

"What the hell?" Matt asked.

Matt looked down at his clothes and gulped. He realized what the liquid was. It was blood.

Matt looked up at Scarlet Overkill who smirked. She was attacking them with her own blood. She held up her hand and a tentacle made of blood wrapped its arm around Matt's neck causing him to grunt. It squeezed around his neck tightly. The room started to spin, his breaths getting shorter. If she applied anymore pressure could kill him.

Scarlett Overkill

Quirk: Blood Domain- She has the ability to control blood.

"Do you remember me little Matthew?" She smirked.

Her voice. It was so familiar. So soft, so nurturing. He had met her before but where?

"I remember you!" She smirked.

She sighed and walked closely to him. "I had hoped that you wouldn't follow in your father's footsteps and try to become a hero. I had hoped you were better than that. Better than him." She hissed.

Suddenly Matt remembered her. Kari.

Five years ago:

A ten year old Matt ran to the room at the end of the hospital wing. His young nanny following behind him.

"Matthew wait!" His Haitian nanny, Ms. June, yelled.

Matt ignored Ms. June and went to the room his father was being held in. The man lied in a large bed; he was hooked up to several machines that Matt was too young to understand the function of. Matt sobbed when he saw his father's condition. His father's face was covered in bruises. Matt shook his head. His daddy was supposed to be strong. No villain should be able to hurt him.

"I take it you're Matthew?" A voice called.

Matt turned to see a beautiful nurse standing in the doorway. She smiled warmly and got down on one knee so she could look Matt in the eye.

"How do you know my name?" Matt asked.

She smiled. "Your father mentioned you, I'm Kari, I'm the nurse taking care of him."

Matt wiped a tear from his face. "Will my daddy be okay?"

Kari smiled. "We have some of the best doctors here, he's going to be taken care of. For now, I'm going to need you to do me a little favor. Can you be brave for me?"

Matt sniffled before nodding. "Yes ma'am."

"You're such a good boy, I can see why your dad spoke so highly of you," She said.

Now:

"You're a nurse, you're supposed to help people!" Matt wheezed.

Kari's face darkened. "I was a nurse, now I just kill pigs like you!"

She held up her hand, Matt braced himself for another attack, when he heard a loud thump, Matt looked up to see Kaleb punching Scarlet Overkill right in her side, throwing the woman back.

"Lady you talk way too much!" Kaleb gasped.

Scarlet Overkill growled. "I'll kill you little boy."

She held up her hand and shot forward another wave of blood, however Kaleb spun around and pointed to a Hell Priest's mace. Webs shot out of his fingertips that attached themselves to the weapon. Kaleb howled and flung the weapon, the object flying towards Scarlet Overkill's face. The woman yelped and held up hand a tidal wave of blood protecting her.

As soon as the mace hit the blood it stuck in it like the blood was solid. Matt gasped, that's because it was. She crystalized her own blood!

"Two Morningstar boys to kill, this is going to be fun!" She laughed.

While she was distracted Matt held up his palms and began to whisper. "Bul."

Flames shout out of his palms make the blood steam before evaporating. Scarlet Overkill gasped and turned to look at Matt who stood up angrily.

"You're starting to piss me off." Matt growled.

He held up his hand and hurled another fireball. Scarlet Overkill grunted and held up hand another blood shield forming around her. Kaleb quickly dove underneath the shield and took this as a time to tackle the woman.

"Stay down! We don't want to hurt you!" Kaleb yelled.

Speak for yourself, Matt thought. Scarlet Overkill pressed her thumbs to Kaleb's temples, causing to boy to scream in pain, his body losing balance before toppling over.

"And that sweetie is what happens when all of the blood rushes to your head." She cackled.

"What happened to you!" Matt yelled.

"I remember you, you used to be nurturing and caring. How could you become a villain!" Matt yelled.

She growled. "You obviously don't remember what your father did to me. Come on Matthew dig through that conceited head of yours do you remember that one time I came to your house! Do you remember what you heard?"

Matt frowned. What the hell was this lady talking about? Suddenly it clicked. Everything fell into place,

Five years ago:

"Hello, I trust you're ride here was comfortable." Matt's father said.

Matt watched him from a crack in the door. Matt's father told him to never go into his study. He never said anything about listening. Matt leaned in closely, hoping to catch another glimpse of their conversation.

"Don't act like you care about how my ride was." Kari snarled.

"In that case I suggest we just talk about our negotiation." His father's lawyer, Mr. Harris said.

Matt frowned. Why was he here? He usually only came to the house when he wanted to play golf with his dad.

"I read over your terms." Kari said.

"And?" Mr. Harris said.

"I don't want your money; I just want one thing." Kari sniffled.

"And what is that?" Matt's father said.

He was using that voice he used whenever he was getting impatient.

"I just want an apology." She said.

"I'm sorry." His father said.

However, even Matt could tell he didn't mean it.

"I don't mean like that; I mean a real apology! You ruined my life! I can't sleep, I can't go to work, I have a girlfriend I can't even look her in the eye after what you did to me." She yelled.

Matt could hear her voice cracking.

"Mr. Union apologizes for any harm or misunderstand that was caused." Mr. Harris said.

"There is no misunderstanding! Mr. Union, one of the greatest heroes in America raped me! He fucking raped me! His nurse! You let these heroes get away with anything, you don't even care who they hurt." Kari sobbed hysterically.

Now:

Kari smirked as she eyed him like a wild animal. "You remember now. You remember what your father did! I can't have vengeance on him, but him finding his son's dead body will be enough!"

Matt growled and stood up. "You're fucking lying."

Kari snarled. "Excuse me!"

"My father is a good man, and an even better hero. You're just another evil person determined to hurt others." He snarled.

"You should look in the mirror. I see the same darkness in your eyes that was in his." She yelled.

"Uwa!" Matt yelled.

Rocks began to rise around him, Matt growled and launched them all at Kari. She hissed and held up hands' tentacles of blood slicing through them like they were made out of paper.

"You're going to die here!" She yelled.

A sharp tentacle of blood flew towards Matt, Matt held up rocks acting as a shield bracing himself for impact. However, the blood slowed down, as if time had stopped. There was only person he knew could do that.

He turned to see Sarah, Victoria, Jake, and Aerolynn standing on the other side of the arena.

"Lady I've had a very long day, so I would appreciate it if you got the fuck away from him before I have to knock your old ass into next week." Sarah snarled.

Aerolynn gasped when she saw a fallen Kaleb and Hell Priest and ran to them to check on their injuries.

"You remind me of myself Sarah, young and hopeful, putting your faith in men who shouldn't be trusted." Kari smirked.

Blood tendrils swarmed the arena circling around the teens. Matt gulped she was creating a cage made out of blood.

"There's only big difference about us." Sarah said.

She held her hand in the blood tendrils froze. "I would never be stupid enough to attack a place where Victoria Crown is, Victoria now!"

Sarah pointed towards Kari; the woman trapped in a cage of slow motion. Victoria held up her hands and yelled. Shadows shout out of her body, the mist reshaped itself into a claw. Matt watched in amazement as the claw snatched Kari off the ground and wrapped her body until it reshaped itself into a chain.

The wall off blood fell instantly, creating a massive tidal wave of blood. Matt gasped as it flew towards them.

"Sarah stop it!" Mat yelled.

Sarah held up her hand to stop it, however a strong breeze knocked into them. A breeze so strong that it carried them out of the way of the tidal wave, to the other side of the arena. Matt shook his head; the room was spinning. He gasped when he realized it wasn't a breeze but Mrs. Zambiea.

"Are you guys okay?" She asked.

"Thank god you're here!" Kaleb coughed.

Mrs. Zambiea smiled weakly, "I should have never left you. Where is Cyrus?"

"Over here Sara." A voice called.

They all turned to see Cyrus standing in front of them grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"You look good." He smirked.

Mrs. Zambiea growled. "You really fucked up by attacking my kids." She snarled.

She pointed to the sky dozens of helicopters flew above them.

"We have some of the best pros up there, waiting to take you out." She hissed.

Cyrus pouted. "You did all of that for me? I'm touched."

"You're a psychopath." Matt hissed.

"Thank you." Cyrus cooed.

He looked up at the helicopters and smirked. "I'm afraid we'll have to continue this fight some other time."

He waved his hands and smiled. "It was nice to meet you kids, can't wait for a next get-together."

"No!" Mrs. Zambiea yelled.

She lunged to him, but it was too late he disappeared in a cloud of smoke leaving them bruised and bloodied.

"Is it over?" Jake asked.

Mrs. Zambiea sighed. "For now it is."

"Guys, where is Faith and Alexander?" Victoria asked.


That's the end of this arc. The next will focus more on the kids backstories and their life in school. Also if you haven't already I recommend seeing Birds of Prey, it's a fantastic genre bending superhero movie (well technically not a superhero movie but still), if you liked Kill Bill you'll love this.
