Welcome to the thirteenth chapter of this story! It's night and most people are asleep, except for four heroes, uniting to rescue their master, and one bystander who has decided to help these four heroes. But first, let's respond to the review:

LabRatsWhore: Thanks for reviewing! And I just look up the episodes on YouTube because I live in Belgium; they don't air season 2 yet. And I am fairly certain Stan Lee is still alive. And Team Starkid is just a group of adults making parody musicals. You should look them up; you can find their plays on YouTube.

4everMagic: Me too; I just FOUND it fitting to use in that situation. And thanks for your review!

Enjoy!

The Annihilator did not like being imprisoned in the Mighty Max.

Most people tended to stay away from him, which he thought of as nice. This meant nobody bothered him or spoke to him, except during meals to impress him. This gave him more time for himself to figure something out as an escape plan. He could call Skylar and have him being brought out with a space portal. That would be the easy way.

This was an escape plan, which meant it lacked the spectacular fights so far. And he wanted the world to know he was freed with a show and heroes freeing him, so just calling Skylar won't do it. He wanted a show. He wanted several guards killed. He wanted some idiots freed when nobody's looking (like those foolish Wallace and Clyde) to create more chaos. He wanted at least one guard witnessing what a bunch of heroes could do when they used their powers for evil, and tell the world about it.

That's what he wanted. That's what he told Skylar to do.

That's what he'd get tonight.

Skylar Storm was waiting in the lair of the Annihilator, looking around. Nothing was left of its former glory. All furniture was destroyed and the powers her master had collected over the years. This place was a mess and it was a miracle (Calderan use). The rest of the rescue party should be here any minute. She left the door unlocked, so the four others could arrive whenever they wanted. But if they were ten minutes late, she'd leave without those who still had to come. They had no time to lose. They planned the escape attempt perfectly, and they couldn't deal with villains coming late.

She really hated if someone was coming late, especially if it involved her one true master.

She turned her head to the port as she heard footsteps nearing. Skylar Storm spent no more time thinking and instinctively turned invisible. That way, she could get out quickly if Kaz and Oliver suddenly decided to come back there. Yet, these three were no Normos. These were people she had learned to know well over the past few weeks. Those three villains arriving consisted of two women and one man, each having their own primary color. The man wore a completely silver costume, while the women had similar costumes, only differing in blue or green combined with black.

Skylar sighed, turned visible again and stepped forward to Silver Shield, Gamma Girl and Snow Storm. She did a quick headcount again. Three were right on time. But the last member of their group, their 'initiate', had yet to arrive.

"Where is he?" she asked; she needn't say his name for the other to know what she was talking about.

"He's there already," Silver Shield explained, "He is going in the normal way. If I'm, correct, he'll wait for us in the elevator down." Skylar nodded. If the initiate didn't want to give up his old life for a while, she was fine. After this big show, he would be a member of the Annihilator's wave and he wouldn't have a choice but follow. Once he got a taste of evil, he'd do it more frequently and would like it.

"What if he betrayed us?" Snow Storm asked, "He can still warn the guards!" Skylar turned her head to the blonde.

"He won't betray us. Yes, he may be a little reluctant, but that will soon change. As long as he thinks he'll get what he wants, he will do this. And if he does quit, he won't live to tell the heroes about it." Skylar opened a space-portal – they really needed to hurry right now – and the others went first before she too walked through her space-portal. When the four villains stood in the elevator with the initiate, Skylar closed her portal, untraceable as ever. When she turned to the initiate, she saw him gaping at Gamma Girl after taking off his blue helmet.

"I suppose you chose the easy way to get it?" Skylar asked, and Titanio nodded.

"Yes, I did. Oh, and I also borrowed this," he showed a device the guards used to generate force fields to keep the prisoners in their cell. Skylar nodded when she saw the device and smiled an evil smile.

"And by borrowing, you mean stealing. Continue like that and you'll go very far." Titanio looked away and put the device away. He really did borrow it, not stealing it. It needed to stay believeable. He felt a little awkward in the group, and he couldn't help but to stare at Gamma Girl. Where did we go wrong? He asked. And why did it have to be you?

"What's the matter, big guy?" Gamma Girl asked when she noticed Titanio was staring, "Feeling uneasy here?" Not ready to share his feelings with them just yet, his head turned red. He put his helmet back on his head and turned his head. He took a deep breath, looking at Skylar, being glad Skylar didn't decide to bring Michael with her; he'd get something was wrong.

I need to focus, Henry told himself. I can get used to this. And it's only for a short period of time. When this is done, I get what I want and I can leave this behind me. I can start over. Gamma Girl smirked, liking the way Titanio reacted. With a final 'ding', the elevator stopped and the doors slid open.

With Skylar going first, the four heroes turned villains and the initiate stepped out of the elevator, startling the guards awaiting them. They thought only Titanio was coming down, but apparently he got some visitors when standing in the elevator. They most certainly hadn't expected Skylar Storm to come over, the white strike clearly visible in her hair.

Snow Storm and Gamma Girl made the first moves. They swiftly attacked and knocked the guards out before they could react. They ran as fast as they could to the stairs, which would lead them to their eventual destination. They would also be in full view of every guard present, but they did want to draw attention and make a show out of something simple as freeing a prisoner. They wouldn't be hit, though; that was Silver Shield's purpose, why Skylar chose him. Titanio offered to help, and she gave him the task to create a distraction and to get used to the idea of being evil. Snow Storm and Gamma Girl were excellent fighter, which is why Skylar and the two others would do the fighting. Skylar's task was to free the Annihilator and kill everyone who stood in her way.

"Cover us!" Skylar yelled and Silver Shield stopped running. He turned his back to his evil comrades and faced the guards coming towards them. He lifted his hands in the air, seemingly giving up, but after seconds of concentration a silver tinted force field appeared, separating the evil heroes and initiate from the guards, who desperately tried to break the force field, only to be taken when Silver Shield was knocked out. And the screams of the guards and the sound of them hitting his force field, his 'silver shield', made him happy and helped him concentrate. Luckily all guards with the power of teleportation were injured and up at the Mighty Med.

At one point, the group split up again. The girls made their way to the Annihilator while Titanio would free two idiots to create a distraction; Catastrophe, even when two stupid Normos, still was more of a threat than the Annihilator. Titanio ran as fast as he could to the hallway where they kept Wallace and Clyde, along with other villains. As he passed the cells of the prisoners, he created a curiosity and they started to yell at the hero. When he eventually reached the cell of the twin, he saw one guard standing near them. One guard with a large head. Henry's face paled, but the guard didn't see it with the helmet he was wearing. No, not Philip! Yet, it indeed was Philip who shot up and grabbed his taser, pointing it at Titanio. The guard was just as surprised as the hero.

"Don't move." Philip said. He had heard the alarms, he heard the news about five heroes who broke in and hurt a lot of guards. Too bad Titanio was one of them; he was one of the few who was nice for him. Titanio lifted his hands in the air and sighed, pointing them at Philip. "I'm serious!" the guard said.

"I'm so sorry for this, Philip. But I have no choice." With one shot, the guard fell on the ground, knocked out by Titanio's blast. Before proceeding with the plan, he knelt down and looked if Philip had some serious injuries. Luckily, he was just unconscious and fine; he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he really was hurt. He quickly removed the force field keeping Wallace and Clyde in, and if he wasn't a hero, he would've cried. He was supposed to help people and imprison them, not to hurt and free them from prison.

"Go before I change my mind." Titanio said, and he walked out. He ignored the shouts of the other villains, begging the hero turned villain to set them free too. Yet, it was only the twin he had to free; one mistake could mean the end for him. Calm down, Henry thought, Just a few more days. A few more days. Then it's over.

Everything was going according to plan. With Silver Shield and Titanio out to distract the guards, the three female villains proceeded to go to their true master, who soon no longer needed to be behind bars. Snow Storm and Gamma Girl would do most of the fighting, because Skylar had to focus on the most important task of all: to free the Annihilator.

Skylar Storm continued to walk as she heard how Gamma Girl and Snow Storm give everything they had and were getting rid of all the guards they could take care of. She soon found the Annihilator's cell and she smiled at him evilly when he noticed they finally were here. He wanted to say 'what took you so long?' but eventually didn't. She was standing here, as promised, and that's what counted.

A guard managed to get past Snow Storm and Gamma Girl and now tried to stun Skylar Storm. Yet, she kicked the unfortunate guard in his stomach and when he landed with his back on the ground, his life was over. He was killed by Skylar's deadliest word. "Explode!" the man exploded into a million pieces, and she didn't even look back to see how far the blood flew.

The force field separating them from the Annihilator was conjured by an electronic device and thus Skylar couldn't just turn it off and get her master out. Yet, she still did have the power to create space portals and with one simple move, the Annihilator was freed. He did look at the damage of the guard who dared to attack his favorite servant.

"Good job," he said, "Let's go." The Annihilator and the three ladies left the prison, surrounded by the unconscious or dead corpses of the guards. They walked out as if it was just a stroll in the park. After greeting his master with a bow, Silver Shield covered them with a force field. Titanio would join them at the meeting point, where they would meet after the initiate retrieved his new master's power cannon.

Their meeting point was Tidwell Manor, a nice gift of their newest member. He offered some rooms to function as the Annihilator's new lair, and there were still several other heroes who are still good living there. Titanio knew nothing of their plans to make the residents evil, but he did guess they would take this opportunity to do it.

Titanio knew he didn't have any choice. And yet, he was the one wanting to join by faking his evilness which made Skylar contact him so he could ask for a position in the evil army of the Annihilator.
