"It's been a couple of weeks since Omni man had shown his true colors and beat both Invincible as well the mysterious armored creature that aided him during the fight. As well how the battle shook the city and half of the planet with how the three fought each other, so far the reconstruction of the city has finished. More enough that the effect it had on the people didn't go away, cities were crushed when they learn that their hero was responsible for the death of the Immortal. Along of how that if he ever showed his face again, then they would result in fighting back. If there was a chance, but for right now. With this happening, Sledge. Was testing out his new power that he acquired during the battle with the large creature when he got eaten."

Sledge's Base-Morning

At the now establish headquarters of the bounty hunter crew, Sledge was right now in the training room where he was waiting for the drones that Wrench made just for this experiment. The blue robot knight as well the rest of the crew were in the command room where they had cameras as well were seeing his vitals and how big he could grow.

"Ok Sledge, I set the drones on stun. They'll target your arms and legs, never exactly wanted a easy fight now did ya?"

Wrench explaining of how the drones he design would come in fast, as well would try to shoot him at his limbs. Sledge, nodded as he wanted to try and focus on getting big. Seeing how it could be a major help if 'he' came back. Waiting for the moment the drones came out, a sudden stun blast came right towards him as it hits directly at the shoulder.

"Shit Wrench! Could have give me a warning on.."

Before he could continue, suddenly six drones appeared right out of the wall and attacked him. Rushing at him fast, the drones looked much like Robot's design as he did his best to avoid them. In the room, the others watched at how the boss was handling himself with avoiding the drones.

"Guess you and your robo crush have been busy."

Fury joking with him on how with the time being here on the planet for about a month, Wrench had been spending some time with Robot. Viva on designing new inventions, along of projects that required someone that had a sense of intelligence.

"He already likes someone, besides. With things slowing down a bit, it be good to craft some equipment. Especially make this place more suited to us."

Explaining that while Cecil was, not trusting. Wrench decided to meet up with Robot to see if he could aid him in making the Teen Team's base much more of theirs since the group had been nominated as the new Guardians of the Globe. So they had to make this base there's so they could keep a eye out on local problems, more or less a home since Earth needed to be watched over.

"I like it. We got new stuff!"

Shouted from the side was Curio, who was messing with some stuff that was lying about the place. As well of being curious of what he could take for himself, the four looked at the training going on with Sledge as he was still trying to grow big.

"So, we can tell that he was effected just like us right?"

Poisandra asking on how while she as well both Fury and Wrench getting their own unique abilities, they could now see that Sledge was affected by the void when they were sucked in and traveled to earth. They were all changed, so far Sledge was the last one to get any type of newfound power. Wrench, who was given the records from Cecil when Sledge transformed. It was under destress and aggression that was build up when he was eaten.

"According to the papers yes. With how much fighting he's been involve, along of Fury due to how they were both incredibly beaten when they fought Machine head's gang."

Slowly about to explain it to Poisandra on how when the four saw him go giant, it was remarkable. Fury, growled at the blue robot on how he still despised that day. Wrench got worried as he kept a eye out on Sledge's vitals as well anything appearing within him.

"Fury unlocked his which unleashed a burst of electricity, and Sledge? Becoming giant. Which I have dubbed it 'Manga Mode'. Due to how there's a unique signature of energy that comes off him."

Saying in a confident tone that the name came up within his head on how it sounded good for someone as heavy as Sledge. They continued to watch their armored leader battling, more or less handling the droids. Were able to destroy them all, while he did it with no sweat. This still didn't help him unlock his giant form.

"Damn it Wrench! You didn't make them tough enough."

Shouting at the blue robot blaming him on these drones being weak. More or less not challenging enough, not like the day he fought Omni man. Deciding to head out to get something to eat. Poisandra decided to check up on him, with how he's been a bit distant from the others when he changed. More or less how he worked on getting stronger, in which having to work out. Walking to the kitchen where Sledge was at, she whistled to him as the armored alien noticed her.

"Doing okay Sledgums?"

Asking in a concern manner as well walking over to his side and getting close to him, in which Sledge was nervous that in this state. Where he seemed tired and hungry, she would go right towards him and cling onto him. As well keep him to herself, Sledge nodded as well grabbed a bottle of water.

"If you count being weak. No, but thanks Poisy."

Calling her out on her nickname as walked over to a chair so he could drink. Clicking the side of his helmet, he removed his helmet. Which showed a reptilian like face, more or less appearing that of a dinosaur that earth had so long ago.

"You know something honey, I never appreciate the fact we got these younger forms. More or less that I find your face much more attractive than ever."

Poisandra complementing him of how it wasn't often that he would remove his helmet. Or show his face due to that he never consider himself that of a handsome man no less, as well preferred his armored mask.

"Yeah. I can say the same for you, but know that with the three hanging about. They'd think I'm a lovestruck fool."

Sledge responded that while he was focused on making sure Mark didn't get killed so they could be sent back to prison. He couldn't help but admire his girlfriend's body, more or less that it was perfect. From the curves of her legs to that of her chest being perfect, he wanted to hold her close. Poisandra, smiled as she noticed how he looked nervous when he possibly stated he admire her.

"Well then, how about this. When something is happening, you can send Wrench and Fury to handle it, meanwhile..."

Walking over slowly to him, she hops onto Sledge's lap. The green scaled alien looked at her as Poisandra crossed her legs behind him. As well pressed her chest against him, as well made sure his focus was on her.

"We get to try and make that. 'Magna' mode of yours work if it's done by. Other methods~"

Whispering to his ear of how much they've been fighting. As well unable to spend actual quality time, Poisandra was going make sure that both she and Sledge would share it together. Rubbing the side of his green horn, the bounty hunter shuttered at the feel.

"Magna mode? Did Wrench came up with..."

Before he could say anything, she decided to kiss him. More or less of enjoying his lips, throwing the water bottle to the side. Sledge begun to rub the side of Poisandra's thighs as well her legs. The pink haired girl loved his hands rubbing against her. As well fell in love with how he kept her this close. As the two continued to make out as well possibly going to take it to the next level, they heard a certain cough in which the two stopped.

"You two seriously, need a room."

Spoke a familiar voice which was Mark Grayson, also known as Invincible. In which he wasn't alone, since Cecil was with him as well. To which Curio had possibly lead them here and possibly needed to see armored alien.

"Continue the lovefest later, need your assistance."

Cecil stating to them in a serious tone seeing how there was a mission that he needed Sledge assistance. Poisandra, gripped her fist at how their moment was interrupted by the humans. In which she was ready to attack them, Sledge. Stopped her before anything, more or less place his helmet back on seeing that they didn't get call of them coming here.

"What, exactly does the director of the same people that imprisoned us. And then made us your personal squad team for Mark."

Asking them about what possible reason was to come here, having dealt with a fatal backstabbing of Omni man. That Cecil needed him, Mark. Who was in his costume along of having a look on his face seeing that he was informed about the information.

"Trust me. Fits right in your corner big man. Especially how it involves 'you' personal."

Mark telling Sledge that whatever Cecil had to say involved him, which might involve one thing. 'Outlaws', or the prisoners he had captured and are now on earth causing god knows what problems for the planet. Pulling out his phone, he had the image placed upon the television that was in the kitchen in which the five looked at that of a NASA shuttle taking off from Earth.

"NASA had launched the first vessel to Mars, as well had four Astronauts to go. However, during the flight. We noticed something, which from what Mark told me. Is a friend of yours."

Cecil explaining to him on the space flight to the red planet, more or less that during the jettison to Mars. There was apparently something off with the shuttle, in which Cecil stopped the recording of the ship leaving Earth. One of the GDA's satellites captured a image of something on it. Or specifically someone, underneath the belly of the ship. Was a dark green like creature with wings, multiple mouths around it's body as well red horns.

"One of yours."

Asking Sledge since he was informed about the attack when Mark was facing off against Machine head and his forces, several of his hired help had alien liked creatures which came from Sledge's crashed ship. Groaning at the sight, he could recognize that creature.

"Stingrage, possibly the grossest thing we ever caught. He's responsible for infecting several planets with his rage spikes, as well acting like a so called 'Plague Doctor'. Which is what your humans consider a sickness."

Sledge explaining about how the creature that was on board was verifiable plague that could infect anything that was around him. More or less that if this thing onboard the ship, this could ruin the mission between the astronauts and them traveling to Mars.

"Well since you didn't inform about this, it's your responsibility about these criminals. So you and Mark are needed to.."

Before Cecil could finish, Poisandra raised her finger at him seeing that there was a misinterpretation of what he said. Mark along of Curio chuckled a bit how the alien teen girl made the director stopped him, more or less make him stop talking.

"One. I've already yelled the crap out of him for owing up to this problem. Also, Sledge didn't capture him. The criminals that he caught was fifty fifty, Stringrage got caught by Fury."

Poisandra telling him on how with the outlaws that got captured by Sledge, the red lighting alien cat that captured him. While she explained to them about the takedown, they heard a snarl from behind them. Which it was Fury, who happened to hear the conversation as well the name of the virus like alien that he captured years ago.

"Stingrage is back? Where is he."

Questioning the two as it appeared that he was seeking for something to do, more or less go out and hunt something he knew then stay here in the base. Cecil could see the animal side in Fury that was ready take down this creature. Nodding to him, Fury would go with Mark to see what happen to the ship.

In Space-Lightyears from Earth

Accepting the mission, Cecil gave both Invincible and Fury a small rocket that was on autopilot that would take them to Mars. The red lion alien and the half Viltrumite were on the wing of the ship with helmets over them so they could survive the vacuum of space. Looking through space seeing so much vastness. More or less the stars surrounding them, gave Mark quite the perspective. In which the only thing he could do was enjoy the sight with a sandwich he had made by his mom.

"You had a packed lunch brought with you."

Fury questioning that out of all the things that Mark could bring on this vital mission, it was a sandwich. Mark, smiled a bit seeing how he needed something to fuel himself if they were going be fighting against this alien. Trying to take a bite, the sandwich was rock solid as it instantly shattered into rock like pieces.

"Pack a lunch my ass."

Stated in annoyed tone of how his lunch was ruin, letting it float a bit. Fury grabbed the chomped rocky sandwich and devoured it, as well feeling the ice cold meal that Mark couldn't eat it.

"In a battle you eat whatever you can. Even if it taste like ass."

Telling the teenager of how a warrior should always eat anything before a fight comes up, which Mark rolls his eyes about how he wasn't exactly Achilles like how Fury was acting. Soon enough, the rocket had made it's way to the red planet. In which Mars right in front of them, the two stood up looking at how they had to go to the planet.

"Alright Fury, let's see if you don't hack up my mom's lunch."

Stating of how Fury didn't exactly fly, to which he grabbed the side of Fury's jacket which made the lion confused. Shooting off the rocket, he flew towards Mars along with Fury as they made their descent upon the planet. Landing on the rocky ground, Mark was looking around the environment which was nothing but rock.

"Talk about changing sights, could have been Pluto or Saturn. Nope, NASA chooses Mars. You traveled to planets, which were possibly.."

Before he could ask the experience planet visitor, Fury puked from how fast the boy had taken him to the planet due to his flight. Shaking off the turbulence, Fury looked around seeing how the baron land looked like a wasteland.

"Let's try to find these Astronauts before they get killed."

Explaining to Mark of how Stingrage would possibly infect them with his stingers, so they had to find them quick. Sniffing out the area like a tractor, he touched the ground focusing on the scent of the humans. Mark, looked around to see if there was any sight of the ship.

"Hey Fury? I know that you'd fit possibly a hunter them with the fur. But this is Mars, and the astronauts had on suits. Might be impossible to.."

Before he could tell Fury that it was going be a challenge, Fury. Snarled at the scent and begun to run, Mark looked shocked at how fast Fury was running. More or less on all four, to which he flew after the red lion. Continuing to run on all four, Fury stopped where he saw that of tracks. Arriving with him, Mark could see the tracks. Which was numerous, like if there was a group here.

"Cecil told me that this planet was full of Martians. Make sense due to how Martian man was from here, so. I guess they saw the astronauts and took them. But where?"

Bringing up some vital information as the two looked around the ground as well the footprints scattered across the ground. As the two continued to look around, they heard a sudden rumbling from behind. It was a sandstorm, in which it was going blow away the footprints.

"Find where the footprints stop, I'll keep you covered."

Fury telling Mark as he would try to cover much of the tracks as possible. In which the sandstorm begun covering the footprints, looking at the last footsteps. He noticed a line engraved within the ground, tapping on it. There was a metal sound, they had to be underground. Lifting the lid upwards, Mark looked inside seeing nothing but darkness. Until suddenly, a squishy sound was being made which soon leapt at him.

"Shit!"

Yelling in fear as Fury looked behind him seeing that Mark was being attacked by a strange three tentacled creature. Several of them tried to attack Fury, but he grabbed one as well ripped it apart. Mark struggling to remove them begun to rip them off left to right. Looking freaked out, he turned to see Fury not so scared.

"You scream like a woman."

Telling Mark as he walked downwards which the masked boy flipped him off from the back as well joining him. The two soon found themselves in a suspicious looking tunnel. All around them was the pink tentacle creatures attached to the walls. Not moving as they were latched to rocks and several crystals. Continuing to walk, Fury's nose was picking up something.

"We're not alone."

Smelling other scents within the tunnel, in which Mark could tell that it was the creatures. Though his attention was to one of the rocks that the tentacle creatures were attached to. Walking close to one of them, he noticed a pair of red eyes appearing. Startled at the sight, the rock soon changed to that of a full Martian. Fury, noticing it was caught off guard by the other rocks. Which were Martians in disguised.

"Do not move, humans."

One of the Martians telling them as both Mark and Fury stood still, as well how they were all armed with spears. Not making a move, Mark was attacked again by the same pink tentacled creatures. In which he hurled it at Fury seeing how he knew how to handle them much better

"Keep your damn pets off me before I burn them all!"

Shouting at them as Fury electrocuted the creature until it was dead, throwing it to the ground. The aliens looked confused on how he thought they were controlled by them.

"You both are unaffected by the Sequids?"

The guards questioning both Mark and Fury on how they weren't being controlled by the so called 'Sequids'. While Fury shook it off, Mark didn't exactly look so calm like his teammate.

"No, very affected by them. I can still taste them in my mouth."

Mark answering one of the guards question of how they didn't latch onto them, which made the Martians curious about the two. More or less that they might be with the humans that came upon their planet. Meaning they would take the two to see the others, as well see what had happened to the astronauts.

Later

Following the Martian guards, to see where they were being escorted. Both Mark and Fury saw how underneath the planet, was a entire kingdom. The two were lead into that of a large throne room. Where they saw more guards line up with their spears at the ready, as well at the side the four Astronauts safe and sound.

"Is that, a lion?"

One of them questioning the strange creature with Invincible, as the two costumed like beings were guided to the one in charge. Looking in front of them, they saw supposedly the leader of the Martians. Having large clothing around him, the tan green like alien rose from his seat to greet the two.

"Welcome to Mars, Earth men."

"Thanks for having us. Mars man. Mr. Mars-Man. Sir. Your Highness?"

Mark responding to the leader with a charm like greeting, as well bowing to him. Fury, growled at this seeing how while being captured wasn't all embarrassing. It was Mark making himself look like a idiot, rising back up. Mark looked at the leader to see what questions he'd have for them.

"What is your purpose here?"

Asking them about what the two were doing here upon Mars, as Mark was going to explain it. Fury, thought it be a good idea he would do it since he knew how to talk with aliens. Since he's been in space much more longer than him.

"We've come to pick up the weaklings that you have, along a hitchhiker that came aboard their ship. A winged creature with red horns called Stingrage."

Fury telling the Martian about their purpose, as well locating the outlaw that came to the planet. As he heard about Fury's description of the creature, he snapped his fingers which one of the guards threw to the ground was his signature weapon. His trident which was broken.

"When the humans landed, we saw the creature with him. We killed him on sight as well sent him into the canyon of our world."

Responding of how the Martians made quick work of Stingrage, which made Fury a bit surprised of how they were able to handle the dangerous alien. In which that was one pain in the back that they didn't need to worry about, Mark. Chuckled as he decided to speak out since things seemed to be much better now.

"Thank you, cause from how he was described? He's a was a dick. But everything's back on track, so if you don't mind, we'll get out of your, hair, and maybe keep your little squid dogs under control this time?"

Suggesting to the Martian leader that with Stingrage taken care of, they could take back the Astronauts with them and head off the planet and head back to Earth. However, that seemed like a unlikely idea. Along that the look on the alien's face showed that the squid creatures weren't his.

"The Sequids are the very reason I captured your people. They are a world destroying race who left a trail of destruction across the universe, before crashing onto our planet. Alone, their group mind is scattered and weak, but with an appropriate host, they become unified and unstoppable. Our shape-changing abilities let us resist them, but if a single Sequid fuses with one of your people, they would rise up as one and savage Mars, and soon after, Earth."

Explaining to them of how while they seemed rather harmless for their size and tentacle like form. They were dangerous when they bonded with a humanoid, in which they were lucky to stop them here on Mars. Mark, merely nodded seeing that it sounded serious. As well how it seemed the Martians had a good grip over the Sequids.

"Tell me Earth man, how are you able to resist them?"

Asking directly to Mark since Fury was able to kill them due to his electric abilities, it seemed impossible for Mark to withstand their control. However, when he was asked that question. It made him rather ashamed since he once thought it meant something good.

"I'm part Viltrumite. I think, you may have heard of us."

Asking the Martian about his species, more or less the violent history that they have across the galaxy seeing that he believed they were suppose to be heroes. Though the idea was killed the moment he saw his fathers true colors.

"I am the Emperor of Mars! Of course, I've heard of you!"

Shouting at Mark of how he had knowledge about the Viltrumites, as well what they were responsible for. Mark, said nothing seeing how they might have been victims to his father's people. Fury, saw the expression on his face as he decided to takeover the talking.

"Look. We're grateful for you killing Stingrage. But the humans? They gotta come home, so will leave right now and never come back."

Thanking them for the kill, as well would take the Astronauts off their hands. However, the guards aimed their spears by the astronauts seeing that that idea went down the crapper.

"Impossible! The humans are scheduled for immediate execution. We cannot risk them coming in contact with a Sequid."

The emperor telling them that if one of the Sequids came upon one of the humans, they would end up causing a planetary crisis. Both Mark and Fury could see that this would be a problem since they came to get the Astronauts out of here, not look for a fight. While Mark was going to explain something to them, Fury had his eyes sparking with electricity of how there was to much talking. As well had a idea on how to settle this.

Few minutes later

Back on the surface, both Invincible and Fury were running with the Astronauts. As well avoiding being shot at by the Martians. As they were being chased by the planet's army. Mark, looked upset of how they ended up in this position in the first place.

"You just had to slap the emperor in the face and shock half of the entire courtroom!"

"Shut up and get those weaklings out of here!"

The two arguing of how when the emperor told the two about how the four humans were going to be killed. Fury took immediate action and attacked them first, more or less made a scene for them to run out fast and head back to the NASA shuttle. Seeing it up ahead, Invincible had the Astronauts hold hands as he carried them to the ship. Meanwhile for Fury, he stopped as he saw the army coming right for him.

"Finally, a real fight."

Fury spoke out with his fangs out and snarling at the sight, in which he pulled out his sword. Getting into position, he lets out a war cry as he rushed right at them. Both he and the army rushed each other yelling their hearts out. As there was a sandstorm that approached them. Mark, getting the astronauts on board. Looked over seeing the battle happen, more or less hearing Fury's roar from here.

"That damn cat."

Telling himself as he lifted the shuttle upwards so he could get the astronauts away from the army. Meanwhile for Fury, who was handling the army one by one. Was laughing at how entertaining this was.

"Come on you bastards! I'll take you all on with my bare claws!"

Roaring in the air as he looked at the army that had swarmed him, waiting for them to make his move. They soon heard something coming down right at Fury's side, was Invincible as he came back for him.

"No hard feeling guys, he hasn't seen a vet. Also, taking this."

Apologizing to the Martians, as well grabbing a rock from the ground. Grabbing Fury's jacket, he launched up into the air as well carried Fury to the space shuttle making their escape. As the army saw them leaving, the was footsteps from behind them. Looking at the stranger, it was Stingrage. To which he had several Sequids across his body, as well them in the form of a trident.

"Miss us boys?"

Stingrage asking them as the alien let out a sinister laughter as he rose his Sequid trident in the air. As well unleashed a large tidal wave of the pink creatures upon the army, attacking them. Stingrage looked up at the NASA shuttle leaving the orbit as well returning to Earth.

"Just you wait Fury, will be coming for you. And the rest of that stinking planet Earth, soon."

Talking up in the sky, as well enjoying the screams from behind him. As well that with this union of the Sequids and his desire to spread like a virus, he would be using this on the ones that imprisoned him. As well anyone who would stand in his way, but first things first. Mars would fall under the Sequids reign.
