The lights of Charter City sparkled brightly in the night as Johnathan Rook looked upon it from his personal office in Rook Tower. Rook smiled a little at the city he had helped become the best city in the world. A city he had helped build and whose citizens loved him. Rook looked down at the city for a few more seconds before he headed back to his computer to focus on other matters. Just a few days ago Rook had nearly lost everything. First the organization known as the Epsilon Society or better known as the Tech Men had stormed into Rook Tower and took it over revealing that Rook's head of security Malcolm Kane was the leader of the organization and had been working to overthrow Rook and takeover Rook Unlimited and the city using one of Rook's creations. The creation was mind control chips that were given to the citizens of Charter City.

Rook had tried to change into his Stretch Monster form to combat the invaders, but was quickly subdued mid transformation. The Tech Men had then proceeded to execute Rook, but the Flex Fighters, Wingspan and Omni-Mass who had been disguised as Tech Men came to his rescue and had gotten Rook out of the tower. It was after that rescue that Rook proposed an alliance with the Flex Fighters to stop the Tech Men, which they reluctantly agreed upon, but they wanted something in return. Rook in his half mutated form was forced to sit in front of a camera and confess about his crimes as Stretch Monster as well as framing the Flex Fighters as criminals. Rook was also made to wear a shock collar to make sure he didn't try to betray them.

The alliance stormed the tower with a device to shutdown the mind control chips, but Kane and the Tech Men captured them and had used the device to take control over everyone in the city including the people who haven't received the chips. Everyone was infected except for Stretch and a former Rook security officer named Reynolds. Both of whom had been exposed to a Flexarium-based formula making them immune to the mind control. There was a small amount of the formula left and Stretch and Reynolds had used it to free Rook and their allies. With all their minds free the team launched another attack on Rook Tower to put a stop to the mind control before it became permanent and irreversible.

A great battle was fought and for a bit it seemed like the Tech Men would win, but then the Flex Fighters called upon a girl named Erika who had been exposed to Flexarium isotopes and had acquire powers that allowed her to fly and unleash surges of electrical energy. Erika used her new powers to wipe out all the mind control throughout the city. The citizens came to their senses and the Tech Men were forced to retreat.

Kane and a few Tech Men had been captured, but the majority of the organization remained at large. Rook then turned the tables on the Flex Fighters by removing his shock collar, deleting his video confession, gassing the Flex Fighters' ally Dr. C with a special compound that put her into a coma, framed the Flex Fighters of being in league with the Tech Men, captured Reynolds and replaced him with a Flexarium mutant to prevent him from telling the truth about the Flex Fighters, and made the mutant the new head of his security team.

All and all the past few days had been very eventful with a few close calls for Rook. Even though Rook had managed to come out on top and had both Kane and Reynolds locked up in the special cells he had made for super villain containment in the basement of Rook Tower, Rook was a bit unnerved by the whole ordeal and how close he came to losing his life and his reputation. The Flex Fighters, Dr. C, and Blindstrike were still on the lose aiming to take Rook down as well as the Tech Men. Rook needed to focus both his energy and resources into eliminating his enemies once and for all.

"I'm not going to let anyone take what I built or let them prevent me from bringing on the Age of Flexarium." Vowed Rook to himself.

Miles away in a old warehouse several Tech Men were working on a strange large pod machine that was being overseen by Number Two and Number Six. When the Tech Men had controls Rook Tower they had gone about copying all the data of all the various projects Rook and his people were working on. One of the projects was a teleporter machine being worked on by a duo of scientists named Brick and Mortar. The two were brilliant, but bumbling scientists. The Tech Men had copied Brick and Mortar's schematics and had made their own adjustments and improvements to the machine to better serve their purposes.

The Tech Men had run test on fruit and lab rats and after a few minor slip ups they were ready to try it on a larger test subject. On the other side of the city some Tech Men had inserted a tracking chip into the body of a chimp and then they called Number Six to tell them that the subject was ready. Number Two ordered the Tech Men at the machine to lock onto the chimp and teleport it to the lab. The Tech Men locked onto the chimp.

"Beginning teleportation process." Said a Tech Man

The machine whirled to life and there was a flash of light. Then the chimp appeared in the pod looking very confused. One Tech Man scanned the chimp's vital signs.

"All vital signs are good. No complications or irregularities. Teleportation was a complete success!" Said the Tech Man.

"Excellent. With this machine we can lock on to Number One's tracking chip and teleport him out of Rook Tower." Said Number Two.

"Not only that, we can use this machine for quick getaways and use it to prevent any of our people from being captured." Said Number Six.

"There is a slight problem. In it's current state the machine uses a lot of power. That kind of fluctuation could attract unwanted attention." Said a Tech Man.

"A minor problem that we will have to deal with later. Our prime directive is to retrieve Number One." Said Number Two.

"I'll increase security and prepare transportation incase we need to evacuate the facility." Said Number Six.

"Good." Said Number Two.

Things seemed to be going smoothly for the Tech Men as they prepared to retrieve their leader. Unfortunately for them and the rest of Charter City things were going to get unexpectedly chaotic.

To be continued.
