Chapter 4

Despite his perfect plan, Chet Ubet has been faced with great criticism.

One, ever since the culling of Garou and his family, the monster attacks have happened more often, frequent and the threat levels are demon and dragon levels. The heroes and Neo Heroes have been doing what they can to keep them at bay, however there have been many casualties and injuries from the attacks. The people have called out to Ubet, demanding to know what he plans on doing to protect the people better.

His backers are also demanding what he promised them. "We want the technology of the Association, you promised us Ubet! Don't you dare make an enemy of them men who got you where you are!"

They weren't the only one breathing down his neck. He just got a call from another back, the fellow scientist who helped them create the bullet that took the family out. In return, they were given the twins of Garou and Melee. As well, the so called Sweet Six were a signing bonus. The cream of the deal though was for the bodies of Garou's family. "What do you mean they haven't arrived yet?!" Ubet demanded. "I saw their bodies get put into the containment truck, how could they not have reached you yet!?"

"It doesn't matter, this happened on your end and your watch. I will give you a few days more to produce them, if not… Mr. Ubet… you will have made a powerful enemy of me!" the voice warned. "Don't… cross me,"

The line went dead shortly after.

He hung up the phone a defeated man, how could those bodies have vanished? He had personally made certain that the containment trucks were on stand by to pick up the corpses the moment they were killed. Yet, how…

"Ubet"

"Fink, not now!" he snapped back. "Everything has gone so wrong, what the hell happened! It was the perfect plan!"

Dr. Fink entered the room, followed by the Brawler brothers. "It doesn't matter, as long as Garou and his kin are dead, that's all that matters to me." He insisted.

"Oh sure, you don't have a career on the line!" Chet snapped back. "Why the hell are all these monsters coming out and attacking the cities?! It's non stop"

"Answer, Garou despite his appearance emitted an aura that deterred monsters from coming into the cities. His family emits a similar aura that does the same. In removing them, that barrier of protection has vanished, monsters have taken it as an opening and opportunity to strike," stated Street Brawler in a monotone voice.

Fink and Ubet froze. "Why the hell didn't you say anything like that before!?" he demanded.

"Answer, you never asked of us," Knuckle replied in the same flat tone of his brother. "No consultation was requested, we are also ordered not to speak unless asked. Question was asked that met the standard for us to reply"

Chet sneered, he was silently thinking Fink had set him up. If the Brawlers knew this information, and had he been told. He would have dealt with the family another way. Instead, it appears he just rolled out the welcome mat for monster attacks to become frequent once more.

"I've been looking into this… Boros hero." Fink said aloud, it snapped Chet out of his train of thought. "He has never been registered in the hero data banks, there is no record of anyone NAME Boros until now. As well, Alley Brawler and Suiryu… they just had twins, they were their first born, Boros isn't their blood child."

"How do you know that?" demanded Ubet.

"I went back over the data Bofoi sent me. There was alien language that was translated loosely through the cyborgs here. Boros… is the name of the alien commander of the ship that blew up City A."

Ubet froze. "An… ALIEN!?" he demanded.

"It does explain the Brawler cyborgs too. I have gone over their bodies time and time again, it's not material of this world to say the least, let alone easy to come by. They are defiantly alien made. Or at least created with alien technology… Miss Brawler must have had some on hand…"

Ubet paused. "Well, if this thing doesn't have a ship now, it means that we can perhaps still find a way of using it to our advantage, no?"

"Negative," came the voice of Knuckle Brawler. "Boros, alien overlord, knowing as the dominator of the Universe. He has won every fight he has come across until he came to earth and was beaten by a hero of this world. He died in battle, however, upon the alien ship, there were clones of the strongest warriors. His clone was among them."

"Boros has the ability to blow up a planet with his raw surge in power. His life force can destroy all life and turn this world to rubble if he desired to do so." Said Street.

"How do you know so much about Boros?" asked Ubet.

"Answer, he created us," said Knuckle.

The room went silent. Ubet was looking to Fink who was looking at the Brawler Brothers with utter amazement. "The divine mind that turned you into this… is on this planet now!?" he demanded.

"Affirmative, however, hostile actions will occur if one confronts him directly." Warned Street Brawler.

"He's an alien of this world, and we have the hero who defeated him among us, he won't try anything!" Ubet laughed. "Find a way to bring him here!" he ordered.

The Brawler brothers paused. "Question, are these actions necessary? With the increase of monster activity…" asked Street.

"I told you to shut up with the questions! You are to obey us, no one else, you are to PROTECT US and no one else. Understood!" Fink demanded.

"Acknowledged" they said in an eerie, harmonious tone.

Ubet snickered. "Good thing you got them to be more like a cyborg. I don't think I could stand them with their personalities to say the least…"

"It matters not, we still have a campaign to run!" Fink announced. "You have a few more rallies coming up, correct?"

He nodded. "Yeah, I got to get my base moving! That Electra Max has been gaining on me!"

Fink nodded. "I have been observing her. She has taken up her brother's mantle of being a hero, fighting monsters before rallies and even stopping her own speeches to assist in taking down a monster if it poses a threat. Perhaps we need to do the same thing…"

"You want a monster to attack me!?" Chet demanded.

"Well, perhaps we can get one that is more trained… After all…" Fink reached into his jacket pocket. He took out a single bullet, the same one used to kill the family. "Snek was done in by Pig God, so we got one more left…" he teased.

"So what do I use it for and on who?" Chet demanded.

"Well, I heard about that Tempest guy who turned serpent and devoured a monster a few days ago…"

"Wait, WHAT!"

"He was one of the sweet six, you are aware aren't you?" Fink asked in a curious tone. But then paused. "Strange, didn't we send them to our sponsor after tranquilizing them? Perhaps he had a change of heart about them…"

Of course he had no idea! Chet still played along as if he knew this whole time. "Oh yeah, of course, he looked so much like Amai Mask in serpent form…" But soon he wondered the same thing as Fink, why was one of them out and about after they were captured and sent to their donor?

"Besides that, perhaps the target should be Amai mask himself…"

"Him? Why?"

Fink leaned over the table. "Think of it. He still walks about as if no one remembers his hideous side! He's one of them, and he still acts like a celebrity to the people of this world! He shouldn't be idolized, he should be put down!"

Chet thought it over. "True, but at the moment, people are up and arms over the culling. If we take out Amai mask, they are going to take it the wrong way. He hasn't attack anyone either, and the sound didn't work on him as well. He couldn't hold his 'human form' as it were, yet he still fought with his mind intact." Chet muttered.

"Perhaps we just need to get him to snap…" Fink muttered. "Leave it to me, I'll think of something!"

As Fink was about to leave, Ubet called out. "We did the right thing, right?" he asked.

"Of course we did! What kind of question is that?!" Fink demanded as he left the room. The Brawlers were close behind.

Ubet took a moment to think of something. "Wait, if that alien thing was defeated here, that means… whoever defeated it, is within this world…" he paused to consider the notion as the smile grew. "All I have to do is find whoever took out this creature… and make him into the beacon of hope for the people!" he got to work, calling his team and telling them to research everything about the alien attack and what heroes were in the area that fought them off…
