Opening File: Major Doctor Ghastly
Andedonia J. Ghastly, better known as Doctor Ghastly is a female scientist who works for Hector Con Carne. She is the one in charge of inventing and building various contraptions to aid Hector Con Carne's quest to rule the world. She was rejected from the science community since no employers were on board with her ideas. Not giving up, she applied for a job, working for the eccentric, Billionaire playboy, Hector Con Carne.
When being interviewed, she fell in love with him, and looked forward to being his assistant. Her ideas centered creating life support systems for the vital organs of the body, preserving them perfectly beyond the standard life expectancy of any human, faunus or mobian. She perfected such technology for the brain and stomach, having the idea that if someone's body was destroyed they could still be saved with the life support technology she had developed until a means of fully recreating a body was developed. However Hector initially rejected her ideas, finding no use for them in his plans to build an evil empire which was a real dart to Ghastly's heart, since she knew she wouldn't be working with the man she loved and that she wasn't inventive or pretty enough for him to see fit.
Shortly after that, a massive explosion came from Hector's palace, caused by a bomb secretly delivered to kill Hector. Ghastly ran back to save Hector, but only saw his brain and stomach, lying on the ground, giving her the perfect opportunity to use the life support systems on them. After she saved him, Hector hired her to be his top scientist and helped him build Evil Con Carne, the successor to the once feared worldwide criminal organization known as FEAR.

"What is it that motivates a person to commit the noblest and darkest deeds of all? Love, justice, vengeance, and a whole list that is pretty much too long to go through. Sometimes love can make you commit the worst crimes imaginable and vengeance can lead you down the path of becoming a hero in a way." TOM said as the file closed. "Positive emotions that can lead to us becoming evil and negative emotions leading us to the path of good. Not everything's all black and white, no matter how it is portrayed."

"Hey, Mama? You home?"
Johnny looked around the house but found no sign of his mother which was a bit of a bummer. He was looking forward to introducing his friends to his mama. Truth be told he normally wasn't into the idea of having guests over but felt it would be cool to allow Amethyst and her friends over so they could hang out and stuff.
"Maybe she is out." Steven suggested. "We can leave and wait until she comes home."
"Nah, she's around here somewhere." Johnny shook off Steven's concern.
"Yo, Johnny. I think this will tell you where your mom's at." Amethyst said, taking a note she found on the bridge. "Dear Johnny, went to the mall to grab milk. Be back around supper. Tell your friends to make themselves at home."
"Oh, that's cool." Johnny said, rubbing his head. "Want to grab some nachos and watch TV until she gets home? I think the Monster Truck show will be on."
"You had me at nachos." Amethyst laughed.

Major Glory narrowed his eyes. "As I said, Mrs. Matthews, never underestimate the lengths the dastardly kind will go through to achieve their goals."
The kids scattered, running and screaming as they ran for the nearest exit but the new arrivals barely paid them any mind. They were all focused on the superhero that represented the American spirit. In the meantime Major Glory along with Tina and the small detail she had with her fought against the soldiers with ease but they were just the first wave and the second wave had already arrived.
And Major Glory knew most of them all too well.
"Comrade Red and the Injustice Friends." Major Glory greeted coldly.
The man in red grinned at being identified. He was dressed red Russian attire and, like Major Glory he decorated his outfit with the designs of the former Russian flag of the Soviet Union and wore a dark fur cape with it.
"It has been a long time, Major Glory." The man identified as Comrade Red greeted. "When we heard you were holding auditions to pick you successor, I mean sidekick we just had to come by and offer our congratulations to the lucky one."
"Before we gave them our own initiation." An electronic Mexican voice said from behind.
Comrade Red parted to the side, allowing a purple furred bear to step forward. This bear was large and muscular, easily almost the size of a gorilla but also had two large glass domes with one attached to its stomach and the other to its head. In the top dome was a brain with electronic eyes attached to it, making somewhat of a face as the eyes gave off the feeling that the brain was smiling.
"Hector Con Carne." Major Glory narrowed his eyes. "So it's you that is behind this."
"The brain?" Elodie asked.
"That brain is the twenty third most wanted criminal in the world." Major Glory replied. "Also a billionaire with enough money to buy his own country. Which explains the company you have."
"And you remember them all, I am sure." Comrade Red gestured to each of them, staring with female Krunk. "She-Thing."
The female Krunk growled.
"Von Hellen." The man wearing death metal attire and a black mask over his face with horns remained silent.
"Doctor Diablos." The mentioned villain wore a suit of metal armor that covers his entire body along with a red cloak.
He stood on a large red glider with bat-like wings and a horned demonic skull ornament on it. Befitting his name, he had a large pair of horns and a devilish tail which are also made of metal.
"Mental Mouse." Red gestured to the mouse Mobian with a giant brain and wore an orange suit with a jet at the bottom that allowed him to hover.
"Grappulator." He pointed the hulking human wearing a brown body suit and red tubes attached to every part of his body.
"And of course, no party is complete without Bertha the Barbarian." He finished with the large and incredibly muscular woman resembling a cross between an amazon and a Viking.
She wore fur clothing and golden armor along with a golden helmet with two horns which covers most of her head except her face and long red hair. Each of them gave off dark and sinister intent that was scaring the onlookers even more. For all their boasting they had not seen true evil.
Until perhaps now.
"And just so that there are no surprises." The glass dome containing Hector glowed bright green and there was a flash of light outside the mall. "That will be the sound of the force field designed by my head scientist and Mental Mouse activating. No one is getting in and no one is getting out."
"You are really this determined, Hector?" Glory asked. "You lost your body because of your mad ambitions. Do you dare risk everything you have left?"
"My body was lost because of a coward that tried murder me. After today, no one will doubt me or my ambitions again." The brain retorted. "Red, I leave this to you."
"My pleasure." Comrade Red stepped forward while his group surrounded Major Glory. "Make it easy on yourself. You will not fight out in the open where there are so many children that can be hurt, will you? You are a superhero after all. A fight in the middle of this mall would lead to countless casualties."
"Then let me change that." In a puff of smoke appeared none other than Dee-Dee's magical uncle, Fergle O'Reilly. "Abra Kadabra!"
In a flash of light, the nearby terrified children all vanished, clearing out the mall and leaving behind the heroes and villains.
"There, I sent them away for the time being." O'Reilly said, straightening his suit. "You can fight to your heart's content."
"And you are?" Hector asked.
"Fergle O'Reilly, at your service." O'Reilly tipped his hat off to the villains. "Don't mind me. I was just here looking through some shoes."
In reality he had come here with his niece to be her emotional support and to be there for where if she failed or even succeeded in meeting with Major Glory's approval. It didn't hurt that he had come just in case someone was crazy enough to try and attack the major.
He may not be a genius like father or nephew but he was not an idiot.
"Fergle O'Reilly of DexLabs." The brain laughed maniacally. "This is even better than I could have hoped. Red, your reward will triple if you bring me that leprechaun alive."
"As you wish." Comrade Red snapped his fingers, and the supervillains swarmed ahead.
Nearby, Wallabee Beatles peered out from behind a pillar. When the Injustice Friends had made their appearance he had taken cover and tried to contact one of his friends or even the police only to find the signal from his tablet being blocked. He knelt down and repeatedly muttered the word 'crud' under his breath until he saw the rest of the children being safely relocated by the newly arrived magician, who now stood by Major Glory's side against an entire team of some of the world's most dangerous fighters.
"Gotta do something." He swallowed and stood up. "Okay, you got this Wally, you got-" A hand rested on his shoulder, causing him to give a high pitched yelp and spin around, finding himself face to knee with a tall, broad shouldered figure who ushered him back behind the pillar.
"You might want to stay out of this one, little buddy." The man said, rolling his shoulders and popping his knuckles as he marched towards the ensuing battle. "Play time's over."
Wallabee gaped at the back of the man, recognizing him from television. The muscles, the voice…the beard…
"A-Action Hank?!" He squeaked, suddenly grinning. "…aw crud, and I didn't bring my poster." He facepalmed, realizing that the perhaps once in a life time opportunity at an autograph was out of his reach.
Meanwhile, Comrade Red and Major Glory clashed first, both shooting up into the air and meeting in a collision that sent out a concussive shockwave in all directions. Windows rattled and cracked in their frames, same with many a mirror throughout the mall.
Down below, Fergle watched the charging group of super villains with an amused smile before holding his hands out. His aura flared, taking on the shapes of mystical sigils as he prepared a new spell. "Abra…"
He thrust both hands outward. "Kadabra!"
A tendril of crackling energy shot out from his palms and narrowly passed between She-Thing and Grappulator. Fergle swung it to one side and swept half of the group away before swinging it back around, only on the second swing they realized the threat and ducked or leapt over.
"You kids really didn't think this through, did yah?" He asked, darting back out of She-Thing's reach as she slammed her fists down, breaking a hole in the floor where he'd been. "Fully packed mall? Broad daylight? Major Glory on the scene? Don't you lot usually run from that sort of thing?"
"We don't run from illusionists, little man." Bertha growled, hefting her scimitar for a side swing which was stopped halfway through when Action Hank intervened, wrapping one arm around her wrists and lifting the woman off her feet, swinging her around like a rag doll before releasing her and sending her flying across the mall plaza.
"Ah, little Robert!" Fergle tipped his hat to the huntsman. "Or is it really 'Hank' these days?"
"Nice to see you too O'Reilly." Hank chuckled. "Surprised you'd be here though. What brought you outta retirement?"
"I fancied myself some new shoes." Fergle shrugged. "And look out."
Hank spun and dropped low, sweeping one leg out as Von Hellen charged him. Even as his feet flew out from under him he strummed a note from his electric guitar which, amplified by Dust within, created a sonic boom that launched Action Hank back. The Death Metal themed villain rolled to his feet with a chuckle and began to play a full song, each note sending out waves that cracked apart floor tiles and caused anyone still too close to the fight to clap their hands to their ears to block out the pain inducing performance.
Fergle was among them, finding it hard to concentrate on conjuring any spells with his skull being pounded. Just as he began to wonder if he was really about to be defeated by someone whose fashion sense included a helmet with horns glued to it when something else blocked it out…a loud, shrill and delighted scream which cancelled out Von Hellen's sound waves.
"What?!" He stopped playing and looked to the source…which skipped past Fergle and positioned herself between him and the villain with a frown on her usually bright and cheerful face.
"Leave Uncle Fergle alone!" Dee-Dee shouted while a silhouette of energy formed behind Von Hellen, snatching him up even as it finished forming into…
"I've got him, kiddo!" Koosalagoopagoop, better known as Koosy, waved while keeping Von Hellen trapped in a one armed bear hug.
"Thanks Koosy!" Dee-Dee beamed and waved back before helping her uncle to his feet.
"Dee-Dee?! Lass, how are you here!?"
"Oh, at first you sent me away with all the other kids, buuuuut I came back." Dee-Dee shrugged.
"How?!"
Dee-Dee shrugged and made an innocent, noncommittal noise. "I sure wasn't gonna leave my favorite uncle to get ganged up on by a bunch of bullies."
"OI!" A shout made her look up to see Wally racing towards them. "Up above! LOOK OUT!"
Dee-Dee turned as a shadow fell over her and her uncle. Dr. Diablo cackled and dove towards them, flame dust laced into his clothing igniting as he came in to attack. At the last possible second while Fergle was preparing a spell Wally leapt over Diablo's targets and nailed the flying super villain with a kick to the face which knocked him out of the air.
Wally landed on his feet and glared at the downed flyer. "Like hittin' people with their backs turned, huh? Why don't yah try it on me then?!" He dared, his aura flaring visibly around him.
Overhead, Major Glory managed to knock Comrade Red away with an upper cut. But he quickly found himself facing She-Thing next as she launched herself towards him and tackled him into…and then through a wall which landed them both in a toy store. Major Glory climbed to his feet and brushed off several mimicries of the television stars so adored by his team mate, Krunk.
"Glory?"
Major Glory turned to see the Infraggible Krunk standing in line at the cash register, a bag stuffed full of Puppet Pals products in hand. "Krunk?"
She-Thing emerged from a pile of knocked over shelves with a roar. "She-Thing smash puny Glory!" She declared.
Krunk stared at her, slack jawed while Major Glory rose into the air and prepared himself for a second round. Before anything could happen Krunk quickly raced over and said quickly. "Oh! Oh! Krunk got this one." He said, pushing Major Glory towards the store exit.
"Huh? Krunk, are you sure?"
"Yep! Krunk got this!" Krunk nodded quickly, sending Major Glory on his way before facing She-Thing, who ripped a pipe out of the ceiling and advanced on him menacingly…
And all Krunk could do was stare at her with the biggest, dumbest smile ever seen.
In the meantime Dr. Diablo stood up, glaring at Wally who glared unflinchingly back. "You shouldn't have done that, boy."
"Bah. Like I'm scared of someone who likes attacking from behind." Wally spat.
"Very well. We'll play your way." Diablo slowly approached the young Faunus.
Wally charged forward, leaping up and launching a punch at the villain's face. Diablo however raised his hand and easily caught Wally's fist.
"Impressive." The villain mocked before head-butting the boy and tossing him away.
"Hocus Pocus!"
A hole appeared underneath his feet and Diablo fell in, letting out a scream as he vanished into the dark hole that disappeared a second later.
"Kids." Fergle muttered, lowering his hand. "Never do what they are told."
However that was not the end as the villain's glider flew down and fired two missiles at the ground, blasting it away and Diablo leapt up, landing back on his glider. Wally grunted as he stood up and glared at the villain. Wally rushed forward, his Aura manifesting as orange flames surrounding him and his hair shot up, taking a new spiky look. He suddenly started moving much faster and shot up again, flying straight at Diablo like a flaming meteorite.
The villain flew up, dodging Wally's attack but used his mechanical tail to grab the boy by the leg. Diablo flew down and slammed the young Faunus into the ground.
"You thought you could fight me?" Diablo laughed as he floated back up, floating back up and held the boy in front of him, hanging upside down from the tail still holding his leg. "Do you have any idea how I am?"
"Yeah…" Wally's eyes shot open and grabbed the tail. "A horned freak!"
He pulled and actually managed to rip the tail holding his leg apart. Diablo screamed as Wally fell back to the ground, landing on perfectly on his feet.
"You think you're tough? My uncle's been training me to fight cruddy freaks like you since I was four!" Wally remarked smugly.
Diablo growled, glaring hatefully at the blond Faunus. "I hate brats."
Wally smirked as his Aura flared again and he readied himself as Diablo's clothing blazed with fire again, his metallic armor protecting him as he approached his foe.
"Kid, run!" Fergle shouted, preparing another spell.
It came too late as Diablo lashed out with a fiery blast that sent Wally flying back, skidding across the ground back to Dee-Dee and Fergle. The blond haired Faunus grunted from the blast but his Aura and Semblance allowed him to recover quickly and he rushed back at his opponent, ignoring Fergle and Dee-Dee's cries for him to stop. Wally lashed out at Diablo who laughed as he jumped over the raging Faunis and kicked him in the back, knocking him face first into the ground. Wally jumped up back, somersaulted and launched a double kick that actually knocked Diablo back.
The armored villain grunted in annoyance but Wally was not done. He rushed forward again and when Diablo tried to punch him Wally moved to the side and grabbed the outstretched arm. The villain was shocked as Wally lifted him off the ground and threw him over, slamming straight into the ground. Wally leapt up and aimed his foot down but Diablo rolled out of the way and watched as Wally's foot slammed into the ground with enough strength to create several cracks.
"Now I see it…Your Semblance is combat oriented. From what I see it is like an adrenaline rush, making you faster and stronger and even allows you to shrug off injuries." Diablo observed. "An impressive boost…No, a Combat Boost. No matter through. I now understand why you have suddenly become so strong."
Wally lunged again but Diablo slammed his fist into the floor and from it came a large explosion that blinded Wally long enough for Diablo to grab him and slam him several times into the ground before picking him up again. "I am impressed enough that I will make your end relatively painless."
"Leave him alone!" Dee-Dee shouted.
"Abra Kadabra!" Fergle shouted, casting his next spell in the form of a ball energy that he threw.
The energy ball slammed into Diablo and exploded, sending him flying down the mall. Dee-Dee rushed over to Wally who fell to the floor. The poor boy looked heavily exhausted now and seemed ready to pass out.
"Dee-Dee get him out of here." Fergle said, taking a deep breath.
"But uncle, what about you?"
"Never mind me. I can look after myself." Fergle answered but collapsed to his knees a second later.
"C'mon uncle. You need to come too." Dee-Dee said as Koosie, the creature made from her Semblance picked up both Wally and her uncle. "We'll go find a place to hide now and let the heroes take care of the bullies."
In the meantime Tina Matthews found herself facing none other than Bertha the Barbarian.
"So you are the wife of the famed Dragon of Denver." Bertha mused.
Tina said nothing as she drew her rapier, causing Bertha to grin and grip her own scimitar. Immediately the two engaged each other in fierce sword themed combat. Tina was fast and agile, utilizing her skills as best as she could while making sure she didn't get cut in half while Bertha the Barbarian fought with brute strength and raw unmatched power. It was an epic duel that would have awed anyone who had been watching.
Tina was skilled Huntress, earning praise from the likes of Major Glory, Phil Ken Sebben and her own husband who was the Dragon of Denver. She fought criminals, rogue huntsmen, Grimm and even Fallen through her career. She had been the worst places in the world such as the Darklands and emerged with her life and her sanity intact. She survived fighting the likes of General Skarr, Katz, the Wailing Woman and she emerged from those fights alive.
And she only hoped she could emerge from this one alive as well.
Bertha the Barbarian more than just lived up to her name.
She fought like an absolute savage.
Each swing she made with her scimitar was strong enough to be a killing blow if Tina was not fast enough to dodge. She tried to launch her own counter attacks but Bertha did not seem to even care or react to the few times Tina managed to deliver a quick slash.
Actually, they seemed to only annoy her.
Tina jumped back and switched her weapon to its whip form while using the Fire Dust she loaded into it to ignite it. She lashed at Bertha who parried with her sword, the flames having no effect on her sword and her Aura blocked any embers that touched her.
"Is that all?" Bertha asked, seemingly disappointed.
Raising her sword she swung it down, unleashing an Aura wave at Tine who hastily jumped out of the way. Bertha rushed forward and slashed her blade down on Tina barely managed to block. However it soon became clear that Bertha was the stronger of the two as she started to push Tina back and her scimitar was close to touching Tina's shoulder. Luckily Tina was as smart as she was skilled and came up with a quick plan.
She lifted her sword in a diagonal angle and stepped to the right, causing Bertha to fall forward, her own momentum turned against her. Tina activated her Semblance as she kicked the larger woman in the back of leg, making her fall to her knees and followed up with a punch to the face, sending the barbarian flying back. She slammed rather into the ground and for a second appeared to be unconscious.
Then Bertha sat up, wiping a bit of blood from her lip and grinned. "Good…You actually can fight."
Tina switched her weapon back to whip mode and with channeled her Aura through it, unleashing a crescent shaped Aura wave. Bertha raised her scimitar and split the wave in two with a single slash. Tina rushed forward, her Semblance enhancing her speed and thrust her blade forward at Bertha's chest. The barbarian jumped back, her Aura absorbing a small slash from Tina's blade but she remained otherwise unharmed.
Tina sped after her, slashing at her but Bertha blocked with either her sword or her gauntlets and fought back. Despite Tina's surprise move Bertha eventually regained the advantage and eventually knocked Tina back.
"Is this all you have? I was expecting a little more." Bertha remarked. "Perhaps your husband would present a better challenge."
Tina stood back, lifting her rapier up and pointing it at Bertha. "Don't assume I am weaker for not being the same as Dracon."
Bertha grinned as she took a step forward. "Then prove it, Tina Matthews."
Before they could continue the fight Bertha heard a sound and spun around, blocking an object that collided with her sword. The object exploded in a blast of light, revealing it was flash grenade that temporarily blinded the barbarian. A dark figure jumped through the light and delivered a powerful reverse punch to Bertha's stomach. The barbarian was knocked down again and the dark figure quickly leapt away.
Tina barely had the time to make out the figure's general appearance. They wore a long dark hooded cloak that covered their features but she could make out the body armor they were wearing along with an emblem resting at the top of the hood.
It looked like a question mark.
The figure vanished into the dark as the flash faded and Bertha stood up with an enraged look on her face. "Who dares?!"
She looked around, trying to find the one who used the grenade on her. "Coward! Show yourself!"
Tina quickly rushed forward, aiming to take Bertha out while she was distracted but the amazon themed villain dodged and grabbed Tina by the neck and slammed her into the ground. Bertha raised her sword to finish Tina off but just before she had the chance a dark figure landed in front of them and grabbed Bertha's arm and threw her over his shoulder.
Tina looked up and saw her savior. He wore a lavender body suit with black body armor and a green M on the chest. Around his waist, there was a plain, thin black belt with a dark grey, standard buckle. Brown boots adorned his feet and olive-green gloves adorned his hands. There was a dark purple cloak that drags on the ground wrapped around his neck and provides a shield for his hair or any defining features.
This cloak had a bright green question mark made of some type of sturdy material attached to a spring that juts out from the top of his head. Finally, he wore a black half-mask that covers his face from the bridge of the nose up.
"…This is new." Tina muttered as she stood up.
In the meantime Comrade Red continued fighting against Major Glory, brandishing a sickle and hammer. The two fighters were almost completely even, with Major Glory's super powers and Comrade Red's skills and similar invulnerability.
"Why come here, Red?" Major Glory asked as they fought. "Coming out here in the middle of GrimmFall? You know more Huntsmen will come."
Red smirked, twirling his sickle and hammer. "You make it sound like we didn't account for that."
Major Glory narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
Comrade Red laughed. "I mean we have been preparing for this day for a very long time now. You think we would simply team up with that brain and go along with his plan if we didn't make sure we knew we could win?"
The glass dome that contained Hector Con Carne, who had been watching the fight started to glow bright green and another warp gate appeared and came a hulking man with hard, yellow scaly skin.
"I assume you know of Duke Nukem." Hector stated as the portal closed. "A mutant with the abilities to absorb, generate and manipulate radiation. The closer he is to a source of radiation the more powerful he becomes."
Duke Nukem grinned as he held up several small glowing rocks that glowed with multiple colors.
Glory's widened in horror. "Oh no. Is that-"
"What's left of the comet that created the original Team Go. Its cosmic radiation granted five mere humans immense powers. Now imagine what would happen if that same radiation was used by a creature that is able to absorb and manipulate that same radiation." Hector explained smugly. "Duke Nukem tried to steal them from DexLabs and almost failed if not for his lackey sneaking in and stealing the meteor pieces when he originally failed."
Duke Nukem held the comet pieces over his head…And swallowed them.
The villain let out a cackle as his body started glow with the same color of the radiation he was absorbing. Green fire enveloped his hands and his yellow skin turned into a mixture of blue, purple, red and green, glowing bright enough to reveal his skeleton.
Duke Nukem had now become a walking nuclear reactor with enough power to possibly turn all of GrimmFall into a radioactive wasteland.
"And behold, our friend will be a blight upon the land and everything he touches shall wither and die." Hector laughed maniacally.
"Blight…" Duke Nukem looked down at his new form, giving off the impression he was grinning. "I think I like that name."
The radioactive monster now calling himself Blight looked at the major and took step forward, his feet leaving burning foot prints as he walked. Major Glory quickly fired his Star-Spangled Laser Vision at the monster who held up his hand, gathering green radiation in it and fired, blast of radiation colliding with Major Glory's laser vision. The two powers struggled for dominance but in the end, Blight's power seemed to win out as it forced Glory's eyebeams back to the point he had disengage and dodge the blast of radiation. Blight watched as Major Glory hovered in the air, not seemingly making any move to attack the major.
Why would he waste his time with fighting now that he was unstoppable?
"This is it…This is MY MOMENT!" Blight cackled madly as his radiation powered body flared. "I AM NOW UNSTOPPABLE!"
Major Glory gritted his teeth, realizing just powerful this new enemy had become and that he must stop them before it was too late. If Duke Nukem's powers went any higher he'd end up killing everyone in the mall. Those that had Aura protection would only be able to hold off the radiation for a short amount of time, especially against the amount of radiation coming off of Blight.
"Come on, hero!" Blight dared, looking up at the major. "Let's see who is walking away from this."
"So be it."
