We open to the interior of the prison, Cell Block B-01, called "The Hive".
"Alright kiddies, its dinner time! Lineup for today's special!" one of the wardens called. The prisoners of the cell block screamed in protest, clanging on the doors. "Pipe down!"
One warden knocked on the cell door of an inmate.
"Reindeer Man! Where you at?" they called.
Walking up to the cell door and peeking out was a young boy in his pre to adult age with a orange-red hair color and in orange prison gear.
"For the last time, im not a Reindeer Man. And i have a name you know." the boy said.
"Well you got the powers of a Reindeer, so i say youre a Reindeer man. And what we say here sticks." the warden reminded.
"That name would stick if i was half reindeer, which im not. Im just a man." he said. "Who has the skills of that reindeer."
AJ Drake
Con Man turned Reverse Enhanced
Charged with Illegal Production of Artificial Enhanced and Bioweapons, self belief that hes framed.
Not to be trusted
"Uh huh...that makes you a reindeer man." the warden said walking off. "Man, we've gotten a lot of freaks here since all those prisoners were transferred here from the Universal Prison. Stupid Ultron." he said before something hit against a cage. "Gah!" he said.
"Oh great… Prisoner B-46-R is acting up again." another warden called looking to the cage. "Quit biting the hand that feeds you."
The creature just stared with its soulless looking eyes as it tilted its head.
"Oh man, that thing gives me the creeps, what even is it?" one guard asked.
"Its called Dark Water… another name for Ink colored back." the warden said. "It was an experiment combining the genes of humans with that of Inklings."
"And the result was that thing?" the guard asked.
"Science can be a total jerk sometimes." the warden replied as the being looked at them, black ink dripping from its body somehow.
Dark Water
Half Human, Half Inkling Abomination
Gender: Unknown
Moves like an Inkling, fights like an Inking
Dangerous, Mute, and Purley made of Ink
Extremely Dangerous if faced in Turf War
"It only took 1 Turf War for the Squid Research Lab to completely disown it and send it here. The Battle footage is unreal." the warden said.
"Yes...least its not as horrible as that guy." the guard said pointing to a young man in samurai robes. "He's a foreigner from the Warrior Universe right?"
"Youve never heard of him, have you? Hes a dangerous Ronin from the House that in a rivalry with the 5th Flux family. The Flux Family there called their prodigal son Kenshin. So to that end… their enemies named him after Kenshin Uesugi's Greatest Rival." the warden said.
Takeda Ryuichi
Named After: Takeda Shingen
Lethal Swordsman with any blade
Favorite Blade: Akuma No Ryu, the Demonic Dragon
"Don't you dare talk about that fool of a swordsman in my presence. I am he who shall rule that universe...not him.' Takeda said.
"You ain't doing anything while you're locked up in here. And with good reason." the guard near his cell said. "You slayed dozens of Houses, even those allied with the 5th Flux family. Your list of figures murdered is a thick binder. It took two platoons with shock rounds and stunners just to bring you down. You're not getting out of here, if you don't already know where you are."
"I foresee that he shall escape from here one day." a voice said as in it sat a normal looking girl.
"Who's this? She doesn't seem so bad?" a guard said.
"We call this one Gaia. She claims to be the reincarnation of a titan and somethings has these spells. She might look innocent but she destroyed an entire city and yet does not remember doing it." the warden said. "She's one of our people to keep locked up at all times."
Natalie Rocka
Name to go by: Gaia
A supposed reincarnation of the Titan of Nature.
True or just crazy?
"We got some real freaks here, you know that?" the worker said.
"Oh...you haven't even seen the worst of them yet." the warden said pointing to a nearby cage where a girl with razor sharp teeth and claws was going wild.
"What the? Is she a beastman?" the worker said.
"Sort of. She's one of those people who underwent that process that was legalized recently. The animal surgery thing." the warden said. "She's caused a lot of trouble in her life since Hong Kong. While all her actions were labelled as either self defense or protection, and some of it being in legal fights, we were able to pin her through some guys we had spying on her in a junkyard. She killed a college student there. We arrested her when she was driving away with the driver. She's being locked here till a trial is set up."
Uzaki Hitomi
Honey Badger Beastman(?)
Completely fearless and ruthless
Total Wild Card.
"God...why did I get mixed up in there? We're just keeping all these dangerous guys here." the worker said.
"Relax. Security was the reason we built this new prison. Its a bit more secure than the Universal Prison. And the best part is, no civilian even knows where it is." the warden said.
"And no ones ever broken out of here?"
"Not since it was built 8 months ago." the warden said. "Like I said...no one knows its here."
It was then at the same time outside a familiar villain was listening in.
"Well...almost no one." Flux said grinning.
Back in the Cell Block, AJ was sitting down in his cell.
"Are you pondering?" Takeda asked.
"Yeah… im thinking about how i don't belong here. I was framed, and no guard believes me." Aj replied.
"You were a con man who dabbled with nature. Seems like you belong here to me." Takeda said.
"I didn't do it, okay? Some guy went back on a deal and trapped me on site. The authorities caught me with all the evidence, and i didn't do whatever was in those cases. It had to be connected to someone from any of the Flux Families. I just don't know who'd set me up." AJ explained. "I do know one thing. I'll find that jerk, whatever family hes in. I'm gonna beat his ass like a Cherokee Drum."
"Shut up, loser!" one of the prisoners said.
"Yeah, just serve your sentence and enjoy it." the other said as the other prisoners laughed.
"But that days never gonna come… and they just think im like them. So im not going anywhere." Aj said.
"I know it doesn't help but I believe you." Gaia said.
"Thanks." he said sarcastically.
"I was just trying to…" Gaia said before pausing for a bit. "Move."
"What?" AJ asked.
"Move now!" she shouted as he did what she asked as a missile broke through his cell and through the gates.
"What in the…" AJ said before a ship docked outside as strolling in was Flux with Ian.
"People of the Dark Fortress! Some of you might not know me, but my name is Amadeus Cornelius Flux! I am the leader of the Universal Villains." Flux said.
"That guy… hes from the 1st Family…" AJ said. "What did you come here to do?"
"Ian?" Flux said as Ian shot AJ with a taser, temporarily paralyzing him. "Rude. Now, you people might be wonder what the baddest villain of all time is doing here." he said as the prisoners laughed. "Okay. I know I haven't been the best villain for a long while. But...my latest plan willl change things. But due to being understaffed. Not that I lost members, more like we're low on man power, I have come to make a deal. I will release all of you from your cells but in exchange...you must join the Universal Villains, but that seems like a small price to pay for freedom if you ask me. I mean, come on. Am I right?"
"You would free us just to make us your underlings? What if this is all a ploy to stab us in the back. What is it youre after?" Takeda asked.
"Not underlings, business partners. Isn't that right, Ian?" Flux asked.
"You're right, partner. Man I've missed saying that." Ian said.
"And true, some of you might be backstabbed but only if you cross me. So play nice. Now...as for what I'm after...I cannot reveal that right now but trust me when I say...it shall all pay off." Flux said.
"I say we go with it." one prisoner said.
"Anything other than this hellhole." another said.
"Flux! Flux! Flux! Flux!" they chanted.
"Aw, you guys. Just give me a moment and I'll shut down the power to security." Flux said.
"Ow…" AJ said. "What's he gonna do?"
"A small deed for our freedom. But as soon as the power goes off, run the other way." Gaia whispered.
"Wait...he blew open my cell, I can just run now and...oh...I can't feel my legs." AJ said.
"Paralysis. Likely a way to punish you." Takeda said. "I will never follow a man like Flux."
Flux strolled along the catwalk as he fired shots at each guard that tried to stop him.
"Ha! Oh how I have missed this." Flux said before reaching the power. "Everyone! I give to thee...your freedom!" Flux said shutting off the power as the cell doors flung open.
(Cue-Speakerbox- Bassnectar)
"Lets get outta here!" one of the prisoners said as thousands of convicted murderers and madmen emptied out of their cells and rioted their way to the Dark Battalion.
Dark water then turned into a pure ink squid form and sloshed to the floor, reforming as a human inkling hybrid as they charged out.
"Ow, ow ow!" AJ said as they marched all over him. "This really hurts."
"Dont be such a pussy." a voice said as a clawed hand picked him up and brought him to face level. It was Hitomi.
"Please dont kill me. Or eat me, i may have the ability of a walking talking reindeer but i dont taste like venison." AJ said as he was stomped twice by a prisoner. "Hey, you did that on purpose! If I could see your face you'd be dead!"
"Well, I think that went pretty well." Flux said.
"But we only got 75 percent of them. The rest either stayed or hijacked ships in the bay." Ian said.
"Eh, I wasn't expecting to get all of them anyway. Well...only thing to do now is blow up the prison and cover our tracks." Flux said.
"Hang on, did he say blow up the prison?!" AJ asked.
"Time to go." Takeda said. "No my sword. I still need that." he said running to the armory.
"Better hurry. Place goes boom in ten minutes!" Flux said as he and Ian showed themselves back onto their ship.
"Carry me outta here to the armory." AJ said to Hitomi and Gaia.
"Hell no, im not dragging your dead weight around, Reindeer." Hitomi said.
"I'm not a Reindeer!" AJ protested.
"Wait, you cannot do what you're planning, Mr. Flux!" Gaia said. "I've seen the future of your plans. People are going to die."
"Yes...They will...die to join my Fluxtopia!" Flux said laughing as he flew off.
"We need to go. Gaia, carry me until my legs get feeling in them again!" AJ said.
"Okay. We'll head to the bay. Maybe there's still a ship left." Gaia said carrying him off.
"Geez…" Hitomi said as she saw Dark Water put on some Gear. "Hey, Squid-face! Follow the Reindeer or get killed, your choice!"
Dark water looked to Hitomi as she dashed on all fours to the bay. It grabbed the last of itself before following her.
At the hangar, there was a ship there as the four reconvened.
"Lets get outta this place already." Hitomi said.
"No, were not leaving without Takeda." Aj said.
"Hey, here's an idea. Shut up." Hitomi said moving aside. "I'm not staying to die here." she said.
"Come on, how hard is it to get your sword back?" AJ asked. "We better go."
"Right." Gaia nodded as they went to the ship with Dark Water following.
"Get me in the cockpit, i know how to fly!" AJ said as Gaia set him in the pilots seat.
"Five minutes remaining until the Prison Detonates." Gaia said.
"Punch it already, you idiot!" Hitomi said.
"Im going as fast as i can!" AJ said scrambling on the controls.
"Uh...we're in neutral." Gaia said pointing to the stick controls.
"Maybe i am an idiot…" AJ said putting the stick in drive and looking in the mirror, seeing Takeda running towards the ship. "Hang on to something!"
He steered the ship towards takeda as the Samurai jumped to the ship, landing in the cargo bay as AJ accelerated the ship to the exit as the bombs detonated.
"Were not going to make it!" Takeda said.
"Yes, we will." Gaia said.
"Gonna be tight…!" AJ said as they made it through the flames and sped out of the prison, it exploding behind them. "Oh man, that was close."
(Song End)
"I did not see any prisoners or guards left behind. It appears they all escaped." Takeda said. "Or were killed by Flux."
"Too bad for them. At least we escaped though." Hitomi said. "Like id follow that bastard. There's only one man I take orders from."
"I get the feeling it ain't me. But were stuck together, it seems." AJ said. "Two guys, two girls… and, whatever the hell you are."
Dark water just looked at them with utter silence.
"Creepy." AJ said. "So, Gaia, right? You said you saw what that jerk was planning? What's he after?"
"Ancient power that was locked away a millenia ago. Twelve god like entities that once roamed the worlds, battling the evil that was the titans. They're known as...the Olympos XII." Gaia said.
"Olympos XII. If I remember right, they were said to be formidable warriors that vanished centuries ago." Takeda said.
"If they are so powerful, why does that guy want em? I guess to build this Fluxtopia thing…" AJ said.
"Pfft, yeah. Like an Amusement Park would be a goal for a villain." Hitomi said sarcastically.
"Though Flux is a joke, the threat he's going to unleash upon the worlds is not." Gaia said.
"Well it shouldn't be too much trouble to put a wrench in his plan then. And were the wrench." AJ said. "Were gonna find these Olympos XII, wherever they're hiding. And hopefully some hero types have the idea to find em too."
"You really believe the five of us can make some sort of effort against a plan with apocalyptic tendencies?" Takeda asked.
"Were criminals, freaks and outsiders… but even guys like us can stop Doomsday from Coming. Were the Doomsday Legion." AJ said.
"A fitting name." Gaia nodded.
"For something you came up with on the fly." Hitomi added.
"Not dignifying that." AJ retorted.
"So...where are we going anyway?" Takeda asked.
"Knowing Flux, he's likely headed to a sealed temple in Rome of the Beast Universe. It was said that is where the Olympus XII reside." Gaia said.
"Thats where we gotta look first, then. But first, lets make it official. My names-" AJ began before Hitomi knocked him aside.
"No one cares. Let's go already." Hitomi said.
"Jeez, lighten up a little…" AJ said.
