Final Stand No. 24 - Heroes Academy

"Keep an eye on them, they have potential..." "Yes master!" After the battle, Rex and Shape Shift planned to build a gatekeeper headquarter. "We need a recreational room! TV, pool table, snacks..." Rex suggested. "We need a lab!" After a few hours, they completed the floor plan of the headquarter and they got to work. "Speed Builders Co. should have this done in a day!" Rex squealed with excitement. "Sometimes I doubt you're even male." Shape Shift laughed, walking away. "This place is... amazing!" Illuminate noted, sinking into the soft leather couch. "Where's the training room?" Igor asked, lost in the hallways. "To the left, just listen to the music!" Rex answered, directing Igor. Out of the blue, all 6 gatekeepers were teleported into a large dome. "Rex! Is this a prank?" Shape Shift exclaimed, struggling in the darkness. "I don't think you wanna see what there is here..." Shadow screeched, using her sharp eyes, she saw a head. "Hold on!" Illuminate shot two balls of light onto the roof of the room, lighting the place up. "I am the Creator, I formally invite you to the Heroes Academy." The head boomed. "My Lord!" Igor said, bowing down to the high and mighty figure. "Academy? We don't need training, we're the most powerful in the universe." Rex yelled, displeased. "Very well, let me test your might." After the sentence, a mutated wolf entered the dome.

"Yaa!" Rex lashed out at the wolf, it resisted all the attacks then it sent a punch that knocked Rex out. "What happened?" Rex woke up on the ground, the other gatekeepers looking over him. "The Powerwolf knocked you out, now I hope you understand your limits. Anyway, I am your trainer, No. 12734!" A man with a powerful built and bright green pupils said, bringing the gatekeepers to their luxurious room. The gatekeepers took their time to settle down, after they brought their goods to the room they buried their faces on the comfortable pillows. Boom! The gatekeepers were woken by the thundering noises of bombs exploding. They changed out of their pajamas and rushed out of the room. "It's locked!" The gatekeepers were trapped in the room with no way out. "Plasma Charge!" The surge of hot plasma could not burn through the door. "This is indestructible!" Shape Shift looked around the room for clues while the others continued to escape with brute force. "Found it!" Shape Shift said, waving a mechanism in his hand. He flicked a lever and the door swung open, right into Rex's face. "Trainee 298760, have this! The rest of you, 1000 pushups in one minute." The gatekeepers' trainer tossed a energy bar at Shape Shift while he commanded the others to knock it down.

"Ha! Ha!" Rex punched at the punching bag placed in front of him. "That's enough, next course will be sparring!" The trainer yelled. "Here you will fight yourself, only then you will understand your weaknesses." 6 clones of the gatekeepers burst into the room, charging at their respective gatekeepers. "Trainee... Rex! You are fast but you lack power, improve on that point and take the clone out." The gatekeepers continued their training as their trainer barked advice at them. "Igor, improve on speed! Shape Shift, use your intelligence, outsmart him! Flora, you need new abilities, adapt to surroundings! Shadow and Illuminate, both of you use too much energy!" With their master's advice the gatekeepers defeated their clones. "Now that you know your weaknesses, improve on them! I'll return in a few hours." Their master marched into the dome where the Creator, and a few other trainers gathered. "The Exterminator is back, who would like to volunteer men?" The gatekeepers' master raised his hand, confident in his trainees. "The gatekeepers shall go, No. 12734. You may get back to your coaching now." Trainer 12734 returned to the training room to see Powerwolves beating up the gatekeepers. "What is happening here!"

"That man in the corner, he released the beasts!" Rex thundered, pointing frantically at a man with a black cloak. "Wolves, shut down!" The Powerwolves shut down immediately after the command. "Trainees, get him!" The gatekeepers, freed from the wolves launched themselves at the Exterminator and beat him down. "Hahaha!" Exterminator laughed, knocking Illuminate and Shadow out in a few precise hits. Rex heated up the battle with a Light Grenade that damages Exterminator. "Grrr! I've returned for revenge and I shall not let the likes of you stop me!" Exterminator opened a space vacuum that sucks up the training equipment. "Ahhhhhhh! Help!" Flora screamed in terror as she was getting sucked into the vacuum. Trainer 12734 created an energy barrier that prevented the gatekeepers from being sucked into the large space vacuum. "Haaaa!!" Rex leaped up from the ground and punched Exterminator in the face. He grabbed him and threw him into the vacuum just as he was about to get sucked in. "Purity Rocket!" Rex launched his ultimate attack at the vacuum, boosting him away from it. "Flora, water jets!" Shape Shift came up with a ingenious idea, Flora shot jets of water at the vacuum while he froze it with his Liquid Nitrogen Raygun. The attempt failed as the ice was sucked into the portal together with a few of the tiles on the ground.

Using the power he absorb from Freak, he took a chance and projected a soundwave that shook the training dome, the vacuum was sealed shut by the shockwaves impact. "A space vacuum can be sealed using pressure?!" Everyone looked dumbstruck as Shape Shift strode back, head held high. Ring! Ring! An alarm sounded as a deep voice flooded the room. "Trainers, report to central dome now, bring trainees along!" "Follow me!" No. 12734 led the gatekeepers to the central dome to see the others neatly gathered. "I've sensed a huge power in this realm. 24351, 13264, 27934, bring your trainees to scout the area. 12734, you and the gatekeepers will stay and gear up." The other trainers headed off, leaving the gatekeepers and their trainer behind. "You and your team shall work with the Defender, Blockade, Masked Man and our most powerful hero, Surge." 4 huge men stormed into the room, they were around 8 feet tall and had huge bulging muscles. "Nice working with you gatekeepers." Surge boomed, crushing Rex's hand as he shook it.

"Mortal Realm, Earth, London, Big Ben!" The remaining heroes flew off in the direction, they hovered over the battlefield and were shocked to see a humongous skeleton with ghoulish green eyes causing chaos in the city. "Haaaa!" The hot headed Rex charged at the villain but stood no chance and was taken out in a split second. "Pest! The likes of the Skeleton Lord shall not lose to a mortal!" The skeleton monster stomped on the defeated Rex, fracturing his spine in the process. Surge jumped to the rescue and punched the beast back, Defender pitched in too by tiring the monster out. "Hey you! Boom!" A demon leaped off the roofs of one of the buildings whilst throwing a bomb. The explosive hit Surge and exploded on contact. "Radiation waves equals Boom!" The maniac's bomb tore one of Surge's arm off, causing him to wail in pain. "Boney fist!" The skeleton sent a punch at Blockade whom formed a shield that protects him from the attack. "Combo Move! Flying Bones!" The skeleton pulled out ribs and launched them into the air while the demon did the same with his bombs, the explosions sent the bones flying everywhere, killing thousands in the act.

Final Stand No 23 - Technology Saves The Day! (Last 'Episode' Of This Saga!)

"Yaa!" Rex performed a melee combo that proved to be strong enough to cause Freak bodily harm. "Ngahh!" Freak growled, headbutting the strongest version of the gatekeeper. The attack connected but was ineffective due to Rex predicting the attack and blocking it. "Now I'm getting serious, Dark Explosion!" Freak managed to pull off the explosive attack by a whisker as Rex was just about to kick him. The attack caused vibrations that shook the Earth, it also tapped into the minds of many humans and mind-controlled them. Rex continued his fight with Freak while the mind-controlled humans made their way towards the battlefield. "White stands for purity, red stands for a fiery spirit, Jaguar sportswear stands for wealth, I possess all those things! It's time to get rid of all impurities! Ultra! Light Grenade!" Rex held his hands near his chest as he charged up his attack, but just as he was about to shoot, "They have arrived!" Humans appeared from behind a large mountain. "Swarm him!" Freak commanded, the mind-controlled human heeded Freak's command and pinned their hero to the ground.

"Goblins, take them away! But be careful, it's not their fault." Goblins from the Fantasy Realm skipped through a portal and fought the humans whom put up a fight and ultimately, under the mind control spell defeated the green, pointy-eared creatures. "Goblins, retreat! Werewolves, your go!" Igor summoned several hundreds of the mythical creatures, they scratched the humans with their claws and slashed them with quick strikes from their bushy tail. "Great! Fantasy Warriors, now I can possess them too! Dark..." Quick strikes from Igor prevented Freak from taking control of his warriors' mind, or things could have went from bad to world domination bad.

"Death Ray Barrage!" Small but deadly beams of energy shot out of Freak's body slashed the werewolves and possessed humans into halves, the gruesome scene flashed before Rex's eyes activated his hidden ability. "Rage Buster!" Rex squeezed his fists up tightly and sent energy straight to them, with his fist glowing bright red Rex performed another melee combo but this time... The attack broke through Freak's thick layer of skin on his abdominal and blood started rushing out like a stream of thick gooey liquid. "I'll finish you!" Rex held his fist together and flew at lightning speed right towards Freak's gravely wounded abdominal. ''Say your goodbyes!" Rex opened up his palms, releasing energy that thrust through Freak's already wounded abdominal, the tyrant hit the ground just as he was impaled by the blast. Freak's pure evil form is made of his own evil essence therefore he no longer the possessed the ability to heal from the 10cm hole in his abdominal.

"If I die, all on this planet shall die with me! Jade Bomber!" Freak bellowed, a bright green energy shield formed around the tyrant to protect him long enough for him to charge up the explosion. "Now for the final countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5" The gatekeepers all attacked the shield at once. "The Ancient Beast's Final Attack!" Igor rose up to the height of a 100m skyscraper and stomped on the shield while Shadow and Illuminate hit it with the light meets dark energy blast but nothing could destroy the mighty energy shield. "Demon God's spirit, fight with me!" A creature the size of Igor launched dozens of gigantic energy blasts at the shield but it held its ground until Rex completed powering up for his ultimate move, the Purity Rocket. The attack was a white rocket shaped energy blast that hits its target almost instantaneously, the attack shattered the shield into smithereens and left Freak unprotected and defenceless. "Too late, 1!" Freak's body was plated in a layer of jade as Rex blew up the energy shield. Still smirking, Freak initiated his explosion, the jade started to crack but what was inside was not Freak's body but extremely concentrated dark energy. "Now you say your goodbyes!" The dark energy was about to be released into the Earth's atmosphere and pollute it, killing everything but Rex swiftly made his run towards the Liquid Nitrogen Raygun, grabbed it then shot the -300 degrees Celsius laser at the exploding Freak.

"NO! NO! NO!" The laser froze Freak just as he was about to explode, saving the planet and all living on it. "Quick! Shape Shift, absorb him!" Rex took charge as Shape Shift sucked up Freak's powers just like the latter did to his own. As the ice thawed, Freak reappeared weak and frail. "Go to the League of Heroes and turn yourself in, you have no chance in this state!" Rex said after taking a look at the pathetic sight. Freak looked as if he was leaving till he turned back and yelled. "Die!" He blasted Rex with a Demolisher Ultimatus. With Rex off guard, the attack dislocated his left arm, an incident that made his blood boil. "You idiot!" Rex charged at Freak, he used his right arm to jab him and ended his life with a fatal blow to the tyrant's heart." A leopard indeed never changes his spot." Rex mumbled, looking down on his defeated enemy. "Good job, young lad!" Igor said to Rex, patting him on the back, the pat was more like a slap and it left a prominent red hand mark on the hero's back. ''Oww!" Rex whined. The worst was over, but the young gatekeeper's journey had just began.

Final Stand No. 22 - Pure Evil!

The mighty light meets dark attack forced Freak into the ground with ease. "Ultimate Supernova!" Freak used nearly all of his life force in the Supernova attack which, with its extra burst of power blew Shape Shift away. The tide had turned in those couple of seconds, Freak now had the upper hand with Shape Shift knocked out unconscious. Panting, Freak bent over and put his hands on his knees. "Grahhh!" Shadow burst towards Freak, hitting him with a flurry of well-placed punches. The punches surprisingly connected on the tyrant whom was again, surprisingly damaged by the attacks. "My turn!" Illuminate yelled, finally getting the chance to beat up the all-mighty tyrant. "That attack cost me most of my powers, but... I can still do this! Freeze Frame!" The villain froze time as he tried to catch his breath. Mortal was the first to break free from the spell, he caught Freak off guard and shot an energy blast at him. "What did I teach you about always being on guard?" Mortal snickered. "Haaaa! Demolisher Ultimatus!" Freak blasted his old master with his signature attack, Mortal fought back by teleporting behind Freak and whacking him on the neck. "When using an energy blast, you're significantly weaker as compared to when you are fighting hand to hand. Why else do I not use energy blast that often!" Freak gritted his teeth, he was enraged by his master's constant annoying speeches. "You old fool, do you really think you are the boss of me, when will you realize that I am superior!" Freak let out a burst of energy, he sped towards Mortal, his eyes arched in a deep furrow. "Death Ray!" He shot the beam of energy at Mortal, it pierced though his body as if it were made of paper. "You... you truly are a villain, I've treated you like you were my own flesh and blood, and now... you treat me like trash! Someone will stop your reign of terror!" Mortal said with his dying breath.

As he stood beside his fallen master, he mumbled. "I'm sorry!" Words like those coming from the mouth of an exceptionally powerful being was rare, especially coming from an usually sadistic one. "Yo! Watch out behind!" Shadow screamed as she performed a flying kick on the distracted Freak, the attack hit him right on his head. "Kapow!" Illuminate boomed, jabbing Freak's gut as he fell to the floor. Freak got up clutching his head. "I've become soft, impossible!" He clenched his fists in rage, he blew his top and charged up an orb of energy that he held in his hand. "It's time for you to experience true power, I am made of pure evil! No one can take that away from me!" The energy orb was actually an orb created from pure evil essence, he opened his mouth and swallowed the orb causing him to go into a stage of mutation. His body gained muscle mass, his transformation also caused him to grow claws and razor-sharp teeth. His pupils disappeared, his eyes turned blood red and he obtained a ghoulish purple glow. ''I will destroy you! I will destroy you!" Freak chanted, he leaped onto the Darkness Realm gatekeeper and flattened her like a pancake. "This is... not good!" Illuminate attempted to escape the battlefield but fails when Freak punches him and breaks his spine. "Now it's time to kill you all! Dark Explosion!" Freak powered up and was about to release a surge of dark energy when he was frozen by a demon.

"What's that?" Shadow asked, getting up after being crushed by Freak. "This is a Liquid Nitrogen Raygun, it produces a beam of liquid nitrogen that freezes anything on contact." The demon answered, walking towards Rex. He held his right arm over Rex's head to heal him whilst thinking: This is the guy I'm supposed to heal? A mortal! Master must be crazy, but I can't argue with him. The demon healed Rex and brought him back to his feet. "Where am I? What's happening?" Rex mumbled after regaining consciousness. When he got a grip of himself, he helped the demon heal the other gatekeepers. Just as they were about to heal the last gatekeeper, the thick layer of ice at -400 degrees Celsius started cracking. Rex got ready to fight the tyrant who broke out of the ice, Freak swung his arms around like kid throwing a tantrum and broke into a fight with the gatekeeper.

Rex drew first blood when he grabbed Freak by the neck and punched him hard. The tyrant broke free from Rex's grasp as he swept the gatekeeper off his feet and stomped on him. A barrage of punches from Rex was all that was needed for him to get the upper hand yet again. "Replay!" Freak traveled back in time to defeat Rex, now that he knew the gatekeeper's moves, Freak defeated him with ease."It's a shame that there are so many restrictions to this move, or you would be dead by now!" Igor joined the fight and matched Freak's level of power, he was about to blast Freak when the latter shoved another orb of evil essence into his mouth, this time he regurgitated it as a mouth blast at Igor. "SHADOW DRAGONS! Defend!" Igor summoned two pitch black dragons that form a barrier around him, the mouth blast was stopped by the barrier made from the dragons, much to the dismay of Freak. Rex recovered and kicked Freak up into the sky. Freak hovered in midair for a couple of seconds before screaming. "Pure Evil Death Ray!" He shot an upgraded version of the attack that brutally killed the old Mortal Realm gatekeeper at the two powerful gatekeepers.

Both Igor and Rex used their super-sonic speed to avoid the powerful energy beam and returned the favor with energy attacks of their own. "Grr! Graaahhhh! Now get ready to face my ultimate form!" Rex mustered all his energy and began his transformation. His transformation turned his currently red hair turn white, the same thing happened to his brows while his pupils gained a shade of turquoise. The 'G' glowed red instead of the usual baby blue, as his muscle mass increased his red singlet and black jacket ripped apart leaving him topless. His weight caused the ground beneath him to crack, his ocean blue sweatpants and his Jaguar sports shoes were stretched to the limit. "Now I need new pants, new clothes, this will cost me a bomb!"

Final Stand No. 21 - Freak, Strongest Fighter To Ever Live!?

Igor tried to hit the powered up Freak who was much too strong for him, he was easily defeated by a barrage of punches from the villain. "Haaa! Inferno Dragons, attack!" Igor summoned the Inferno Dragons from inside of his body and they flew at Freak, breathing fire at the tyrant. Freak disposed of the dragons with a few energy blasts, then he charged at Igor, screaming. "Gemstone Blast!" He used the powerful energy blast to knock out the gatekeeper. Just then, Electrix entered the battlefield. "Jolt!" He charged a jolt of lightning at Freak, the attack had no effect on the beast, Freak flew towards Electrix and jabbed him in the gut. "Aargh! You asked for it, Thunderbolt!" Electrix yelled, using his most powerful attack, a beam of concentrated energy with a hint of lightning in a desperate attempt to destroy the Jade Warrior, Freak. "Alright, playtime's over, it's time for you to die!" Freak countered Electrix's energy beam with one of his own, he deployed a punch that finished the warrior's life. "Electrix, no!!" Rex exclaimed in anger.

Rex's anger gave him the ability to power up to limits never before experienced by the gatekeeper. "Graahh! You killed my friend, you shall die by my hand!" Rex powered up, his hair spiking up and turning red, he started glowing a red aura and a blue ‘G‘ appeared on his forehead. Rex hit Freak with a barrage of powerful punches which Freak dodges with little effort. "Die!" Rex yelled, blasting Freak with a golden energy blast which sends him flying into one of the castle's titanium walls. "Armageddon!" Freak charged up his strongest attack in a fit of rage as he in his ultimate form was harmed by a mortal gatekeeper. Freak launched the blast at Rex, the latter easily gets out of the way of the incoming energy ball and continues his fight with Freak. "Grr! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Rex sends a seemingly endless amount of punches at the evil tyrant while still holding back his full power.

"That's it, killing you all! Super X-Bomb!" Freak crossed his arms in a X and charged up energy for his explosive attack. "Activate!" Freak released a wave of dark energy that makes the titanium castle fall apart, Rex and the gatekeepers were blown away by the brute force of Freak's attack. "That attack should have went around the universe and back, it by my calculations, should have killed millions, billion of life forms throughout the universe!" Freak cackled, celebrating his victory. "You monster! You caused a major genocide throughout all 7 realms, you live up to your name, Freak!" Rex exclaimed, attacking Freak with the other gatekeepers tagging along. "Step aside, Plasma Charge!" Igor blasted the tyrant who dodges the attack and strikes back with a hard blow to Igor's face. "You're not going anywhere!" Rex grabbed Freak's arms and holds them tightly behind the tyrant's back. "Shape Shift, now!" Shape Shift brought out a gun and shot it at the tyrant, it projected a laser-like beam that split Freak's body apart. "Argh!" The tyrant cried out in pain. "Eww, guts!" Shape Shift shrieked, shielding his eyes from the terrifying sight. "We did it!" Flora exclaimed, jumping for joy. "What are you cheering about?" Freak asked, his body reconstructing itself.

Rex charged up and let a powerful energy blast fly. "Light Crasher!" The blast hit Freak's chest, then it pushed the tyrant into one of the few remaining walls. "Grr! Supernova!" Freak held one hand above his head as to power up his attack. "Haa!" He shot the energy wave at Rex, he countered with a blast of his own but he was overpowered by the powers of the attack, made from Freak's own life force. "How?" Rex asked weakly before passing out. "Now that you've experienced my power, are you afraid?" Freak laughed while blasting the other gatekeepers. "Don't you taunt me!" Igor yelled, annoyed by Freak's taunts. He exchanged blows with a weakened Freak, Igor attempted to end the battle with a energy blast to Freak's weak spot but failed due to Freak jabbing Igor right before he unleashed the attack. "I'll end your life too, Supernova!" Freak launched the same attack that took out the raging Rex at the unsuspecting Igor. Igor tried to leap out of the destructive path of the attack but was unfortunately too slow to dodge as he suffered the same fate as Rex.

"Illuminate, Shadow! Charge up your signatures, I've got an idea."  Shape Shift said, telling the Light Realm and Dark Realm gatekeepers to charge their most powerful attack at the same time. "Darkstar Blast!" "Shine!" The gatekeepers revealed their most powerful attacks in an explosive effort to defeat the beast. Shape Shift shut his eyes and took full control of the attacks, he clutched his hands together to merge the energy blasts. The powers of light and darkness put together created an orb of energy powerful enough to tear the fabrics of the realm apart. "POW!" Shape Shift released the attack towards Freak, Freak blasted his Supernova attack as a method of self-defense after sensing amazing force in the energy attack. The combined powers of light and darkness won the clash between it and the Supernova attack. Freak was pushed into the ground by the clash, screaming. "I won't lose to you!!!"

Final Stand No. 20 - The Jade Warrior?

Back at Freak's castle, the gatekeepers were all trapped in the chambers. "It's scorching hot in here, what trap is this?!" Rex yelled, trying to push open the chamber's door. "What are you sayin'? My chamber is freezing cold!" Shape Shift exclaimed from the chamber beside Rex's. "It's pitch dark in mine!" Another gatekeeper shouted. "I think, these chambers are supposed to expose us to unfavorable environments." Rex noted, making a point "Seems like it." Shape Shift agreed. "I can't take another minute of this!" The Nature Realm gatekeeper, Flora exclaimed, attempting to dent the chamber. "I was gonna save you, but seeing... hearing you people argue is so funny." Igor laughed, destroying the chambers which encased the gatekeepers. "Weren't you trapped inside?" Rex asked after Igor explained who he was. "I think I destroyed Freak, we were just fighting at my realm." Igor answered. "Cool! See ya!" Rex headed back to the hangout and was surprised to see his friends getting tortured by the tyrant, Freak. "I thought Igor destroyed you, how are you still here?" Rex questioned, shocked by the sight of the villain. "That ignorant fool? He didn't bother to check on my corpse, he just left me there." Freak told Rex, grabbing him by his arm and smashing him on the ground. "Tell me where that fool is, I want his powers, do it or die!" Freak threatened, charging up an energy blast. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size, Jade Warrior!"

"Like you? You're just a mere mortal, you're gonna try to stop me?" Freak chuckled, targeting the human with the energy blast. "Say your goodbyes, Death Ray!" Freak launched a concentrated beam of energy at the human whom, sent his own energy blast which neutralized Freak's beam. "Who are you?" Freak interrogated, taking a close look at the human. "I am the Mortal Realm's gatekeeper, the one who was chosen at the beginning of time." "I remember him being a more scary-looking life form..." Freak said, squinting, the first Mortal Realm gatekeeper, simply named Mortal escaped the human's body and blasted the tyrant. "I see, so it is you after all!" Freak blew up the hangout and punched Mortal in the gut. "Whatever happened to you? You are overwhelmed with rage, what did I teach you about controlling your power?" Mortal thundered, powering up, his hair standing on end. "Graaaahhhhh!" Mortal charged a energy blast, held it over his head and launched it at Freak.

"My old master, I am no longer who I was millions of years ago," Freak smirked. "The world has changed, I have changed with it! They stripped me of my powers and sent me into the Spirit Realm, I escaped and took over the realm as my own. Now I just need the last piece in the puzzle, I need the power of 7 gatekeepers and I've got 6, now I have a question for you, do ex-gatekeepers count?" Freak asked Mortal. "Well, I guess so, wait a second, are you going to..." Mortal said before being cut off. "In that case, yaaaaa!" Freak charged towards Mortal, grabbed him in a bear hug and sucked the powers out of him. "Yes! Thank you, master." Freak said, regaining his mortal form as he returned to his castle. Rex got up, he told his friends to stay put and use his regeneration chamber while he hauled Mortal up and dragged him through a portal as he informed the other gatekeepers of Freak's return and his new powers. "Should have finished him off when I had the chance!" Igor boomed, regretting his ignorance. The gatekeepers gathered up and thought of a plan, they planned for the demons to distract Freak as Igor powers up then, the other gatekeepers will go all out at the tyrant and, when Igor is fully powered up, he finishes Freak off. "Go Team Gatekeepers!"

The gatekeepers carried out their plan, the demons started the battle by stalling the tyrant as Igor powered up. "Enough!" Freak, the Jade Warrior exclaimed, using a X-Bomb to blow back the demons, the gatekeepers then joined the fight, all was going to plan. "You are all powerless, how do you expect to defeat me? Let me show you a little something I am capable of." The evil tyrant charged up, his muscle mass increased, he shot jade shards at the gatekeepers and demons, many of the demons were defeated in that move. "That's it!" Flora screamed, plants sprouted from the ground, the vines grabbed Freak as roses launched spikes at him. "Really, that's all you've got?" Freak taunted, breaking free from the vines' grasp. "Beast!" Flora shrieked, the vines and other plants forming the shape of a giant beast. "Attack!" The beast, despite being huge was surprisingly fast as it stomped its feet on the ground, it grabbed Freak and was prepared to use a mouth blast on the villain when Freak used his laser vision to burn the giant down to the ground. "I see you all still have a tad bit of power left, either way you all shall die!" Freak boomed, blasting the gatekeepers, just then he sensed a large amount of energy behind him, as he turned around he spotted Igor speeding towards him, his left arm stretched out and ready to release a blast at the unsuspecting Freak. "Whoa! Freeze Frame!" Freak stopped Igor in his tracks as he stepped out of the way of the blast. "Die!" Igor thundered, blowing up the walls of the castle. "Good thing I avoided it, I would have been destroyed." Freak heaved a sigh of relief. "Full Power Energy Blast!" Freak shot a fairly large energy blast at the heroes but Igor sent it flying up into the air.

Freak smirked, he was holding back most of his powers during the fight, he powered up and charged a Demolisher Ultimatus. Freak hurled the energy ball at the fighters who fought back, using energy attacks of their own. "Weren't you about to show off your skills, Igor? Like I thought, you're no match for me!!!" Freak strained his body to extreme lengths as he tried to prove his point. "Yaaaaaa!!!"

Final Stand No. 19 - Freak Versus Igor

So Freak went on to steal all the other gatekeepers' powers and trapped them all in the metal chambers, he disposed of them with ease but faced a struggle when put up against the Fantasy Realm gatekeeper, Igor. He was undoubtedly the most powerful gatekeeper throughout the 7 realms and he stood his ground against the evil tyrant, Freak. "You again, what do you want this time?" Igor hollered. "I'm here for your powers!" Freak answered, landing consecutive punches on the gatekeeper, Igor fought back by sending shockwaves which knocked Freak of his feet. Igor then let out a thundering roar that shook the battlefield, he continued by grabbing Freak by the neck and lifted his up. "Grr! Let me go!" Freak yelled, trying to escape from Igor's strong grip. Freak used a laser projected from his eyes to zap Igor, temporarily blinding him and causing him to let go of Freak. Freak took a a second to catch his breath before charging at the gatekeeper again. "Yaaa!" Freak cried out, punching Igor on his stomach, the battle machine regained his vision and sent Freak flying all the way back into a mountain. "Incredible, but I was holding back, let's see how you fare against my second form!" Freak cackled, encasing himself into a cocoon, a gigantic cocoon the size of a elephant.

"Are you a caterpillar ready to become a butterfly, hahaha!" Igor laughed, mocking Freak's cocoon. He concentrated his energy and sent a blast to smash the cocoon apart but despite his efforts, the cocoon did not budge. After a while, the cocoon started cracking, it exploded and its remains flew all over the battlefield. Freak came out looking much more threatening than before, he had razor sharp teeth, his body covered with muscles spikes were protruding from his body and he grew a tail which could be used as a whip. "I'm a butterfly now!" Freak said sarcastically, powering up for a energy blast, the blast was launched directly at Igor chest and it hit its target with incredible accuracy. "Inferno Dragons! I summon thee!" Igor yelled, just then two dragons suddenly appeared by his side. "Charge!" He commanded the dragons to attack the evolved tyrant, they circled him and the air surrounding the area became unbearably hot. "X-Bomb," Freak shouted, creating a energy barrier that held back the dragons and cooled the place down. "Activate!" The energy barrier blew up and disintegrated the dragons. "You're not the only one who can transform, Inferno Dragons! Merge!" Igor boomed, the dragons charged towards Igor in what looks like a suicide attempt but the dragons fused bodies with the Fantasy Realm gatekeeper and he started his transformation.

He started buffering up, his body started developing 'shoulder pads' made of scales, his mouth grew longer into what looked like a snout, claws appeared on his hands and, like Freak, he obtained countless spikes on his body. "Behold, the Inferno Dragon form!" Igor thundered, stomping his foot on the ground. With his new found powers, Igor sped towards Freak, grabbed one of his legs and swung him around, after a few rounds he launched the spirit into the mountains. Freak flew back to the battlefield, scratched by the sharp edges of a mountain. "I just realized, this place looks very fictional." Freak noted, blasting Igor with all his might. "He's surely dead now, let's be extra careful, Demolisher Ultimatus!" Freak launched a powerful spirit attack at the gatekeeper, but just as he was about to check for Igor's corpse, he was hammered on the back of his head. Freak fell face flat on the ground and his limbs were sprawled out, he stayed there motionless. "How did you survive?" Freak asked, still on the ground. "I just had to open a portal and leave for a few seconds, when I returned, you were defenceless so I hit you and you were knocked unconscious." Igor explained in his regular deep voice.

Freak got up, getting into a battle stance. "Die! Die! Die!" He blasted Igor with dozens of energy blasts but his efforts were to no avail, Igor simply deflected the attacks as he strolls closer and closer to Freak. Igor suddenly swerved in a serpentine and, as he got close enough to the villain, he sent a punch into Freak's face. "Yaa! Yaa! Grr, haaa!" Freak yelled, punching Igor whom just avoids all his attacks and sends a hard kick to his chin. "Impressive! Let's see how you fare against form 3!" Freak cackled, encasing himself inside another cocoon. "Oh no you don't!" Igor sped towards the transforming villain and hit him hard, destroying his concentration and his cocoon. "Sub-Zero!" Freak boomed, decreasing the temperature to below 0 degrees. "In some parts of our realm, we experience temperatures lower than negative 100, you think this is cold, come on!" Igor thundered. "Plasma Charge!" He sent a beam of plasma flying towards Freak, the attack caught Freak off guard and it burnt part of his arm. "Aargh! You'll pay for this, Demolisher Ultimatus!" Freak used his signature move in an attempt to destroy the battle machine that is Igor but the attack was no match for the might of the gatekeeper as one punch sent the attack flying back to where it came from. "Time to end this! Armageddon!" Freak charged up his power, his palms faced out to collect life force from life forms around. "Haaa!" He released an energy blast similar to that of the Demolisher Ultimatus. Igor powered up too, he charged up enough energy just in time to use his attack. "I summon forth the Yeti!" A huge creature rose from the ground, it used its palms to catch the attack but just as it was about to throw it back at Freak, he sent a gigantic surge of power to the energy blast.

"I've utilized the life force of all the life forms in the vicinity, you'll never manage to beat me!" Freak screeched, buffing up the attack even more. "Yeti! Destroy it!" Igor commanded, the Yeti followed his commands and started walking forward, every step left a dent in the solid ground but the Yeti kept going. "Just die already!" Freak tossed a couple smaller energy blasts at the mystical creature but they could not even scratch it, the Yeti marched ever closer, its large feet breaking the ground of the wasteland apart. "Why are you so stubborn!" Freak continued blasting the beast whilst letting the blast do its work. The Yeti managed to control the energy ball and it launched the ball back at Freak. "Noooo!" Freak exclaimed, the blast rammed him into several tall mountains, trees and did severe damage to his body. The tyrant was left in a patch of mountainous land and his body was left there for a few hours as Igor assumed he was dead by looking at the impact he took in the form of his own powerful energy blast. "One day I will be back for you! I will suck you dry of your powers, just you wait!" Freak exclaimed, opening a portal back to his realm.

Final Stand No. 18 - The Spirits Released

Shape Shift and Rex headed towards the Z town, bringing the humans and demons with them. "You were the one whom destroyed one of us?" One of the spirits asked, looking at Shape Shift. "I didn't do it, we did it!" Shape Shift yelled, smashing the spirits as they vaporized one by one. "That was easy, your people aren't so powerful after all, Freak!" "Don't underestimate us!" A voice said, it was a spirit. "But I destroyed all of you, impossible!" Shape Shift stuttered in surprised. "We are the strongest race I the universe, you are nothing!" The lord of the spirits, Freak, called out. "Come on Shape Shift, when there's a will, there's a way!" Rex said, encouraging Shape Shift and getting him to fight along side him. The two charged at Freak but was seized by the spirits and they were brought to their realm's maximum security prison. "Capture the rest too!" Freak commanded his men to capture the other fighters and made them prisoners in their prison. "Now this realm is ours to take, soon I shall rule the universe!"

As Freak was going through realms, the warriors were attempting to escape the prison. "This place restricts our powers, there is no way we can escape." Rex said, sitting on the jail cell's bed. "It restricts our powers but it doesn't restrict our intelligence, grab me some metal." Shape Shift said, getting Rex to get the needed materials. "Last one, seize them all!" Freak commanded, his troops grabbing the inhabitants of the Fantasy Realm. Meanwhile, Shape Shift was examining the keyhole and bending the metal bar to fit the hole. "Got it!" He exclaimed, using the makeshift key to break free. He ran to the control panel and unlocked all the gates in the prison while Rex fended the guards off, he also lifted the power restraint spell. The captive warriors sped out of the cells and joint forces to destroy the spirit guards in the prison for good. 

As the warriors got back to their realm, they found a huge lack of buildings, the only building in the realm was a castle, a castle that take up the space of 5 wastelands. "Whoa! It's huge!" Rex exclaimed. They entered the giant castle to check out what was inside and were shocked by what they saw. "It's... empty!" Nate told the rest. "Oh, is it?" A familiar voice spoke. "Uh oh, run!" Ryan yelled, rushing to the gate, taking a proper look at the person who spoke up. "Freak, what are you doing in this empty castle?" Rex asked the spirit tyrant. "It's my castle, and it's not empty, just filled with stuff not visible to a mortal's eyes. Now leave, or face your doom!" Freak shouted, chasing the warriors out the door. "That was close, but why did he let us leave?" Rex mumbled. "Who was he?" Nate asked. Rex answered the questions his friends gave and flew back to the hangout. He climbed up the stairs and enter his room, mumbling the entire way. "He could have destroyed us? Why didn't he?" He removed his suit and headed down for a snack.

"Let me out!" Shape Shift yelled, trapped in a pitch dark room, he tried to break free but, even with his powers, he was stuck behind the enchanted walls and he couldn't open a portal due to the lack of space. "So, Shape Shift was it? How would you like to be tortured?" Freak said, entering the room. "What question is that? Of course I won't want to, stupid!" Shape Shift answered, looking annoyed. "That didn't need to answer that!" Freak screeched, stomping his feet on the ground. "You have anger management issues." Shape Shift said, angering the spirit. Freak punched Shape Shift but he fought back. "Should probably have tied you up, I'm so stupid sometimes." He mumbled. "It's good you know that." Shape Shift said, trying to hold back his laughter. "Haaa!" Freak shrieked, flying into a rage and charging up his energy. "You asked for this!" He used his attack, Warrior's Rage to blow up the room and damage the Demon Realm gatekeeper. They continued their fight at a wasteland nearby where Shape Shift was trapped, Freak toyed with Shape Shift for a few minutes till he decided to end the battle. "Time to end this!" He grabbed Shape Shift and stripped him of his powers. "It's all mine now!" He cackled, encasing the powerless Shape Shift in a metal chamber.

After capturing Shape Shift and taking his powers, he entered a portal and teleported to the Mortal Realm. "Now it's time to take your powers, bwah, hah hah hah!"

Final Stand No. 17 - The Gatekeepers

Injured, mangled, Rex stood up and shuffled back to the hangout. He entered the door, crawled up the stairs and opened the entrance to his room. "I'm back, regeneration chamber, start up." Rex said, activating a machine at the corner of the messy room. "I'll be back for you!" Rex exclaimed, shuffling into the machine and closing the machine door. After a few hours, he exited the chamber, fully healed. "Time for part 2 of the plan." Rex mumbled. Meanwhile, back in the Demon Realm, Vanquisher was pacing around the grand hall of his castle, shouting at the top of his lungs. "My right hand man, my most trusted henchman can conquer galaxies singlehandedly but can't take care of a wasteland like Earth. You are not fit to be my right hand man!" "But, I..." Shape Shift muttered. "Now you're talking back!" Vanquisher nagged. "I'm sorry, my lord." Shape Shift apologised, bowing down. "No matter, from this moment on, you are no longer my assistant!"

"Yes! My suit is complete, now it's time to get my revenge!" Rex laughed, celebrating. But things were not going so well at the warehouse, Nate, Ryan and Electrix got back to their feet but Serene was still on the ground, unconscious. "Serene! Get up!" Nate shouted into Serene's ear, but she did not budge. "She's out cold, check her pulse." Ryan commanded. Back at the Demon Realm, Shape Shift begged for a chance at forgiveness. "Give me a chance, please!" "Know what, I'll give you a chance, two days, in two days time you shall face me, beat me and you keep your place." Vanquisher told Shape Shift, smirking. With that, Shape Shift opened a portal and went through it. "Where is he? Where is he?" Serene asked, all so suddenly. "What? Who?" Nate said, raising a brow. "The one that shall be taking my place." Serene said. Just then, a spirit escaped from her body. "Who're you?" Ryan questioned the spirit. "I am..." The spirit said. As the spirit was speaking, Shape Shift appeared from the portal. "Long time no see, gatekeeper."

Shape Shift scowled, he let out a hello in a deep and harsh tone. "Don't be angry, stop moaning about the past." The spirit said, enthusiastically. "You will pay!" Shape Shift boomed, sending blasts at it. "If you don't want me here, I'll leave." The spirit told Shape Shift, vanishing into thin air. "What was that about?" Electrix asked Shape Shift. "Let me tell you a tale, it started at the beginning of time, when the universe was created, the universe was split into 7 realms, created together with them were the gatekeepers, one for each realm. I was the gatekeeper for the Demon Realm, the one you just met, the spirit is the gatekeeper for your realm, the Mortal Realm." Shape Shift explained everything in a monotonous tone. "We gatekeepers built the realms from the ground up, we shaped the universe into what it is now." "Shape Shift!" Rex yelled from the entrance to the warehouse inside his project, the Power Suit.

"I'm not here to fight, I'm here to train with all of you." Shape Shift told Rex. "Why would you want to train with us, why don't you run back to your realm and train with your warriors instead?" Rex questioned. "Yeah! Why train with us?" Ryan said, taking Rex's side. "I was banished, if I am unable to defeat the Lord, I shall be destroyed." Shape Shift said, grimly. "So what? We don't care!" Rex told Shape Shift in a rude manner. "If I die, the 7 realms will fall apart." Shape Shift explained. "I have no idea what you're blabbering about, where's Serene?" Rex asked, spotting Serene on the ground. "You... you did this!" Rex exclaimed, charging at Shape Shift. "He didn't do it, Rex!" Ryan said, attempting to reason with raging Rex. "Don't side with him!" Rex thundered, pushing Shape Shift towards a hard wall. "You wanna play, show me what you got!" Shape Shift said, returning a blow. "Grr! Ha!" Rex yelled, blasting Shape Shift with fully powered energy blasts, gravely injuring Shape Shift. "Argh!" Shape Shift cried out in pain after being launched against the ground. "Okay, Freeze Frame!" Shape Shift boomed, using Guardian's attack to stop Rex in his tracks. "I sense the power of a gatekeeper here, not the one I'm used to and despise." Shape Shift noted. "What's your friend's age?"

Ryan told Shape Shift what he needed to know  and he concluded that Rex is the Mortal Realm's new gatekeeper. "He is naturally strong, was born the same day the new gatekeeper was chosen and there's only 5 of you in this room." Rex broke free from the attack and continued fighting Shape Shift. "Stop! Let me tell you some thing." Shape Shift said before filling Rex in on the details and told the tale again. "Now, come with me, I'll teach you how to heal." Shape Shift grabbed Rex and dragged him to Serene's damaged body. "Hands out, focus on your goal and she shall be healed in a instant." Shape Shift taught Rex the secret healing ability step by step and soon enough, Rex brought Serene back to health. "Thank you." Rex said to Shape Shift, filled with remorse. After two days of intense training, Shape Shift returned to the Demon Realm, bringing the gang along. "You think they'll make a difference, how cute." Vanquisher said, chuckling.

"Come at me, don't hold back!" Vanquisher told Shape Shift and the gang. They lashed out at Vanquisher but failed to inflict any damage till Rex got serious and used a move Shape Shift taught him. "Only one with a pure heart can grow stronger, Protector's Hammer!" He held his fists together and smashed Vanquisher hard. "Ahh! You made me bleed, good job, but I was holding back!" Vanquisher revealed, powering up to his full power. "Now have a taste of my full power!" He blasted Rex and he fell to the ground. "Can't get me down, Shape Shift!" Rex yelled, getting Shape Shift to fight beside him. "Let's do it, Dual Destruction!" They summoned a beast the size of a skyscraper to defeat Vanquisher. "You take the legs, I'll take the arms." Shape Shift told the Mortal Realm gatekeeper Rex. "Why do I get the legs?" Rex groaned, using the beast's legs to stomp on Vanquisher. "I shall take my place as ruler of the Demon Realm!" Shape Shift thundered, grabbing Vanquisher and tortured him by squeezing his body. "Grah! Alright, I give up, you get your place back." Vanquisher screamed, being crushed by Shape Shift. "I don't want that place, I want you banished forever!" Shape Shift boomed, blowing Vanquisher up. Witnessing the incident, Rex asked. "Why?"

Shape Shift explained the situation slowly while Rex gave him his listening ear. "So you mean, he was... one from the Spirit Realm?" Rex asked after listening to Shape Shift's explanation. "We are in danger, a warrior from the Spirit Realm can take control of our realms, we have to stop him!" Shape Shift added. "Bring the troops, let's train." They trained the earthlings to fight while the demons worked on machines that could stop the potential threat. Years later, the spirits finally arrived. "They're here, the Z town, gather the fighters!" Rex commanded. "Come on Shape Shift, let's go!"

Final Stand No. 16 - Demon Realm

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Hiya!" Ryan yelled, fighting blow for blow against Shape Shift. Ryan stood his ground but was getting drained of energy throughout the fight. "Tired, I have unlimited energy." Shape Shift noted, knocking Ryan unconscious. "Ryan!" Nate exclaimed, sending a few punches toward Shape Shift. "Nate, move!" Electrix shouted, pushed Nate out of his way and launched a charged punch in Shape Shift's direction. "Ow!" Shape Shift yelled, stumbling backwards. "Ha!" Shape Shift exclaimed, kicking Electrix till he fell on the ground with a loud thud. "Three broken ribs, I could do better!" Shape Shift said, grinning. "Hey, get your hands off!" A voice thundered. "Serene?!" Rex exclaimed, shocked. "Who?" Shape Shift asked. Serene sped towards Shape Shift, anticipating his next move.

"Don't underestimate me!" Serene yelled, grabbing Shape Shift's leg and swinging him around. "Not this time!" Shape Shift exclaimed, breaking free from Serene's grasp. "It's my turn." Shape Shift said, striking Serene on the neck. "Ah!" Serene shrieked and fell to the ground. "You... you.... how dare you!" Rex thundered, charging up his energy. "How does he get such a boost?" Shape Shift mumbled to himself. "Grah!" Rex boomed, destroying surrounding junk and elevating any heavier items. Rex zoomed towards Shape Shift and blasted him a few metres back. "Yaa!" Shape Shift exclaimed, swept Rex off his feet and jabbed him on the belly. Silent but deadly, Rex kicked Shape Shift away, punched him and froze him with an ice cold energy blast.

Frozen, Shape Shift raised his body temperature and melted the ice. He charged towards Rex, landed a punch and pulled off a magnificent roundhouse kick. Rex held on to Shape Shift's limb and slammed him on the ground. "Ypph phha phho thsh!" Shape Shift said, his head stuck in the ground, "You'll pay for this!" He yelled after getting his head out of the ground. "Gemstone Blast!" Shape Shift thundered, blasting a sparkling energy blast in Rex's direction. "You can't defeat me!" Rex exclaimed before punching the energy blast sent by Shape Shift back at him. Shape Shift dodged the energy blast, shocked by Rex's powers. "Do you believe in the Demon Realm? Well let me show you!" Shape Shift bellowed, opening a portal to the Demon Realm. "But that can't..." Rex muttered. Shape Shift stepped into the portal with Rex following behind. Shape Shift walked to a huge castle towering over the realm. "This. Is. The Demon Realm."

"What are you doing here?" Rex asked. "Getting more power." Shape Shift answered. "I'm gonna stop you." Rex said. "You can't, you won't dare make a nuisance in front of the overlord, Vanquisher!" Shape Shift cackled. "Yes I do." Rex said, flying towards Shape Shift at super-sonic speeds. "Too slow!" Shape Shift mocked, flying away from Rex. They stopped in front of a throne, sitting on it was a giant much larger than Shape Shift wielding horns, razor sharp claws, muscular limbs and a goatee. "Vanquisher, my lord." Shape Shift said with respect, kneeling before the giant. "Is it done?" Vanquisher asked. "I'm sorry, I couldn't complete the mission, Earth was the final planet but its inhabitants were truly unpredictable, like you claimed my lord." Shape Shift told Vanquisher, head held low. "What are you doing back here then?" Vanquisher questioned. "I'm here to... ask for power." Shape Shift said, quietly. "I would have expected my most powerful warrior to put up a fight, let me fight one of the earthlings." Vanquisher commanded. "I brought one with me, the strongest one." Shape Shift confessed. "You brought one into our realm without my permission? Never mind, let me see him."

Shape Shift pulled the hiding Rex out to challenge Vanquisher. "What, why?" Rex shouted, frightened by the though of one more powerful than Shape Shift. "Just do it!" Shape Shift exclaimed, dragging Rex across the rocky floors of the castle. "So you're the mighty warrior? Let me test your might!" Vanquisher exclaimed, shrinking down to Rex's height. Rex charged up his powers and lashed out at Vanquisher, attempting to take out the beast. Vanquisher grabbed Rex's fists and squeezed them so tight it crush all the bones in them. "Ahhh!" Rex screamed in pain. "This! This is the threat? Maybe I was wrong about you." Vanquisher laughed at Rex's level of power. "You don't understand, he grows stronger, let me show you!" Shape Shift?said, trying to prove his point, they teleported back to warehouse on Earth and told Vanquisher. "Lord, I'll show you his power!" He sped towards Serene whom was still on the ground, weak, and he tossed her around with all his might. "Stop it! Stop it!" Rex yelled, exceeding his limits of power. "That's more like it, come at me kid." Vanquisher said, taunting Rex.

Rex charged towards Vanquisher and exchanged blows with him. "Equals?" Rex said, grabbing Vanquisher's fists. "Not quite, I'm just getting started." Vanquisher stated, powering up. "You haven't even seen a quarter of my full power!" Vanquisher added, blasting Rex back with ease. "I've been holding back too!" Rex claimed, butting Vanquisher backwards. "Naive, how naive, let me show you raw power!" Vanquisher exclaimed, using the Demolisher Ultimatus. "Shape Shift did that already, I blocked it." Rex said. "Firstly, why did you use that move against a weakling?" Vanquisher asked, glaring at Shape Shift. "Secondly, Shape Shift, as you call him has not mastered the move, he still has lots to learn." "Now, where was I? Oh right, take this!" Vanquisher yelled, tossing the blast at Rex. Rex caught the blast and pushed the blast with all his might. "Grahh!" Rex stomped forward with the energy blast in his hands. "You're good but still, no match for me!" Vanquisher boomed, sending a surge of power towards the blast, enlarging it in size and in power. "Not again!" Rex yelled, letting his powers take over, he sent the energy blast flying into the sky but his body was worn out and partially burnt by the radiation from the blast. "Guess I doubted you, he was strong but his power cannot surpass one of a true demon!" Vanquisher cackled, entering the portal back to the Demon Realm.

Final Stand No. 15 - Full Power!

"Ha!" Shape Shift shouted, kicking Destroyer's chest. Destroyer grabs a nearby pole and threw it at Shape Shift. "Really?" Shape Shift said, catching the pole and launching it into the wall of the battlefield. "Have a taste of my knuckle sandwich!" Destroyer exclaimed while throwing a punch at Shape Shift. "Gladly." Shape Shift cackled, sinking his teeth into Destroyer's fist. "Ah! Let go!" Destroyer screamed, using his other hand to punch Shape Shift in the face. Shape Shift stumbled while getting his jaw back in place. "Not bad, let's see how you fare against, my ultimate attack!" Shape Shift thundered, charging up the Demolisher Ultimatus. "BAM!" Shape Shift boomed, hurling the huge ball of destruction towards Destroyer. "Oh no..." Destroyer stammered, launching an attack of his own towards Shape Shift's gigantic energy blast, Destroyer's attack was nothing compared to the gigantic ball which continued speeding in his direction.

 The rest ran to help Destroyer, despite having five fighters, the humongous blast was way too strong for anyone. "Run!" Rex told the rest, escaping the attack's wrath, the other heroes soon followed Rex to flee. "Exactly what I wanted." Shape Shift snickered, revealing that his target was not Destroyer but the earth's core. "What?!" Destroyer yelled, rapidly blasting Shape Shift's energy blast. "Nothing can stop me now!" Shape Shift cackled. "Really, explain this!" Rex boomed while charging towards the blast, punching it out of the ground. "How..." Shape Shift murmured, shocked by what Rex just did. "Never mind, you're all going to die anyway!" Shape Shift exclaimed, maneuvering the energy blast towards Rex. "Grr!" Rex exclaimed, struggling to withstand the extra strong energy blast. "It's too dangerous, stop!" Nate screamed, trying to get Rex's attention. "Grah! Rex screeched, pushing his body to the limit in order stop the energy blast. "Ha!" Rex shouted, all his muscles extremely tense, his strength was enough to move the energy blast. "Nice, but you can't hold your ground for long." Shape Shift smirked, powering up the energy blast. "No!" Rex screamed before being overwhelmed by the blast. "Rex!"

"Don't bother, he's dead!" Shape Shift cackled. "You monster!" Nate yelled at Shape Shift. "Grr! Haa!" Rex exclaimed as he charged out of the deep pit in the ground holding Shape Shift's energy blast on his palms and got ready to throw it back at Shape Shift. "You're good, but still not good enough!" Rex boomed, returning the energy blast back at Shape Shift, he swiftly dodged the attack and zoomed towards Rex in order to absorb his powers. "Oh no you don't!" Destroyer thundered, getting in Shape Shift's way. Shape Shift absorbed Destroyer instead of Rex and groaned. "Come on, well good enough." He transformed into a 7 feet tall, bulky monster with horns the size of bananas. "Let's fuse again!" Rex suggested. "What's the use, we'll lose anyway..." Nate groaned, discouraged by Shape Shift's transformation. "We can grab the 7 gems and grow stronger!" Ryan told Nate trying to cheer him up. "Yeah, let's go!"

The 4 warriors flew around the world searching for the gems, they reach their first destination, the Pyramid of Destruction. "There!" Nate exclaimed, pointing at the Destroyer's Blade. "Let's go!" Ryan said, running towards the blade and grabbing it. "One down, six to go!" They ran to the airport and jetted off again with Shape Shift on their tail. "We have to stop him!" Rex shouted, all the other passengers turned back to stare at him. "Sorry..." Electrix went on to super charge the plane. Shape Shift, whom was flying behind the plane was left in the lurch. "I'll get you!" Shape Shift shouted, speeding up. He caught up with the plane but the 4 warriors were nowhere to be found. He continued chasing them down till he eventually found them back at the abandoned warehouse. "Took you long enough!" The four said in unison. "Fusion!" Shape Shift was faced by a familiar fusion wielding the 7 gems of the world. "Oh, this again..." Shape Shift smirked, powering up. "You shouldn't underestimate my power!" The fusion exclaimed, punching Shape Shift. "Ha! You think that, can beat me? You must be crazy, let me show you true power!" Shape Shift thundered, his body bulking up yet again, this time he was the size of a elephant and had the muscle mass of all the bodybuilders in the world combined. "Bwah!" Shape Shift cackled.

"Whoa, amazing, but can you avoid this!" The fusion yelled while grabbing Shape Shift's foot and spun him around the warehouse. "Ah! Whoa!" Shape Shift screamed when being spun around. "And now, take this!" The fusion thundered whilst hammering Shape Shift into the ground. "Grr! You'll pay for this!" Shape Shift scowled, charging towards the fusion,  ramming into it with his horns. "Die!" Shape Shift shrieked, attempting to impale the all mighty fusion. "Too slow!" The fusion chuckled, using it's elbow to jab Shape Shift. "Ah!" Shape Shift cried out in pain. "Time to finish you!" The fusion shouted, summoning the Destroyer's Blade and stabbed it into Shape Shift, creating a large hole in the giant. "We did it!" The four warriors chanted after the fusion effect. "What did you do?" Shape Shift said, his body fully healed. "But... you were..."

"I was, but I can regrow." Shape Shift explained to the warriors. "Wouldn't that make you... invincible?" Rex stuttered. "Exactly!" Shape Shift told him. "We can't let that get us down, charge!" Nate exclaimed, commanding the rest to attack Shape Shift. "What's the use, he'll just regrow." Rex said, discouraged by Shape Shift's speech. "Grah!" Ryan yelled, charging at the regenerative giant, Shape Shift. "Oh come on!" Rex groaned.

How will the heroes pull it off this time? Is this Shape Shift's pinnacle of power? Or will he have a higher amount of strength? Find out soon on the next episode of Final Stand!

Final Stand No. 14 - Evil Clone

Guardian stayed up throughout the night to find evidence but to no avail, the next morning there were dark circles around his eyes. "Grr, I know he did it!" Guardian thundered in rage. Scowling, he stormed out the door to search for leads, he ran around like a lab rat searching for cheese, a really angry lab rat. "It's here somewhere!" He thundered, after  half a day of searching he gave up. "Maybe he isn't evil after all, maybe I am a little paranoid." Guardian thought to himself, but just then he heard a voice in the distance. "Nice job Lightning, you will be getting what you've asked for, the orb shall be yours after I'm done with it." "Wait, Lightning? I knew it!" Guardian thought, this time he was determined to not blow his cover and get solid evidence, he took out his phone, snapped a picture and went over to the hangout grinning like a Cheshire cat lapping a bowl of milk.

"This proves nothing, you can easily change a picture." Rex reasoned. "I believe him." Destroyer said, siding Guardian. "He's been acting strange lately, but it may just be me." "Stop trying to sympathize with him, you know he's crazy." Rex argued with Destroyer. "I'm not crazy!" Guardian shouted exploding in rage. "Chill, I believe too." Ryan said, attempting to make peace. "You too, Nate, wanna go on their side too?" Rex asked, infuriated. Nate was torn, he did not want Rex to be angered but he believed Guardian. "I... I" Nate stammered. "Whatever!" Rex yelled, blowing his top. "You're right, I am evil!" Lightning cackled, suddenly appearing behind them. "What!" Rex exclaimed. "That's right, he is." Shape Shift said, appearing behind Lightning. "How do they appear like that!" Rex exclaimed, shocked. "Magic!" Lightning sang.

"Ha!" Shape Shift yelled, punching Guardian in the face. He woke up in a cage and thought, "It's a dream." but eventually realized it was all real. "You're up, torture time!" Shape Shift cackled. "Lightning!" Lightning strolled over, charging up his attack. "I'll have fun torturing you." Lightning boomed, grinning from ear to ear. He sent a few punches at Guardian's stomach as Shape Shift took out his wishing orb and started wishing. "I wish I was immortal, I wish I was the strongest in the universe, I wish..." "Grah, let me out!" Rex thundered.

 "You shut your trap!" Lightning commanded. "Die!" Rex shouted, broke through the cage and charged at Shape Shift. "Give it to me!" Rex shouted, grabbing the orb and threw it on the ground. "You..." Shape Shift stuttered. "Well, doesn't matter, I've done my wishing." Shape Shift noted. "Why would you do this anyway, why is Lightning evil. Rex questioned. "I'm doing this because I can, why he's evil, Lightning and I used to be one powerful overlord but we were split by the strongest hero in the League of Heroes, Storm. We were battling but he used his powerful abilities to separate us into two weaker bodies, he was the good side but he had a hint of evil, I took advantage of that and took control of his mind, now he's in my control. Enough talking, ha!" He explained, upon giving a explanation he blasted Rex back into the cage and sealed it up.

"Let us fuse, Lightning." Shape Shift said in a angered tone. "Yes, master." Lightning accepting the request. They moved towards the center of the room and fused bodies with Lightning, there was a bright flash of light then, a new and greatly improved Shape Shift appeared before them. "Bwah, hah hah!" The new Shape Shift cackled, zapping the nearby electronics causing them to shut down. "Fear me!" Shape Shift broke the cage into smithereens and he shot a energy blast at them, almost destroying them completely. "Ow!" Rex shrieked, clutching his shoulder in attempt to stop the bleeding. "Boom!" Shape Shift shouted, creating an explosion that breaks open the cage. "Thanks, Shape Shift!" Nate said, rushing towards Shape Shift. "Really, ha!" Shape Shift laughed while kicking Nate off his feet. "Go!" Nate yelled, commanding the others to charge at Shape Shift.

"Hmmp!" Shape Shift scoffed, dodging the attacks with ease. "It's time guys!" Rex hollered, getting Nate, Ryan and Electrix to stand beside him. "What are you gonna do now, hold hands." Shape Shift mocked. "Exactly!" Ryan said. "Fusion!" Nate thundered, joining hands with the rest and fusing into a superior being. "I will destroy you, I am the beast, I am... what do I call this?" The fusion said, spoiling the moment. "Oh, so you can too, let me show you!" Shape Shift cackled before charging at Guardian, absorbing his powers. "Look at me now!" Shape Shift boomed, charging up his new-found powers. "Uh oh..." The fusion stammered, nervous over Shape Shift's power. "Yeah, that's what you should be saying!" Shape Shift exclaimed, using a attack to grab the fusion and throwing it towards a wall. "Oof, looks like that hurts, but so will this!" Shape Shift exclaimed, blasting the fusion, it dodged the attack but was punched in the gut by Destroyer. "Sorry, wrong one." Destroyer said, ashamed of himself. "Destroyer was it, let's go!" Shape Shift thundered, charging towards Destroyer.

Monday, 7 March 2016

Final Stand No. 13 - Lightning?

"Grah!" Shape Shift yelled before shooting a concentrated energy beam at Destroyer, almost destroying him with the beam. "Ow!" Destroyer screeched, clutching his chest where he was shot. "Hypnosis!" Shape Shift boomed using his attack to control Destroyer's mind. "Grr! Don't you dare!" Destroyer shouted when Shape Shift started maneuvering his body into a trap. "Let me out!" Destroyer exclaimed, trying his best to escape, just then a man entered the warehouse. "Stop right there!" The man thundered, commanding Shape Shift to release Destroyer. "Who're you?" Shape Shift asked, looking weirded out by the sudden occurrences. "I'm your doom." The man said calmly while encasing Shape Shift inside a titanium cage. "Come on out." The man said, lifting the trap. "How did you..." Destroyer muttered. "Come with me." The man commanded. They headed outside and saw the world back to normal. "Whoa" Destroyer mumbled.

"Who's your friend there?" Rex said, looking at the man. "That's...." Destroyer said before being cut off. "Call me Lightning." The man said. "Okay..." Guardian said, suspicious of the new face. They walked back to the hangout, talking along the way but Guardian was strangely quiet. "Haha!" Rex laughed upon hearing Lightning's joke. Guardian started acting strangely, he was staring at Lightning and grabbed the tube of chili sauce instead of a bottle of water. "Hot!" Guardian exclaimed, his face red from the chili. Destroyer noticed Guardian acting weird and walked up to him. "Dude, what's going on?" Destroyer whispered into Guardian's ear. "It's just...Lightning, there's something about him." Guardian answered. "Stop being paranoid" Destroyer told him. Guardian looked away immediately and started staring at the ceiling. "It's getting late, we should go to bed." Rex said after a day filled with surprises.

The next morning, they decided to bring Lightning to the newly refurbished water theme park. "Whoa, cool!" Rex exclaimed at the sight of the giant theme park. "Where do we start?" They decided on the water rollercoaster ride which involved jets of water and 360 rotations. "Ah!" Nate screamed when he was shot by a water jet. "Oh yeah!" Lightning exclaimed after a sharp turn. After the ride they went to get lunch. "Let's get the 10 inch sausage!" Lightning suggested. "You're so awesome!" Ryan exclaimed. "Oh, he's awesome, awesome at lying..." Guardian mumbled. "What was that?" Lightning asked. "Nothing..." Guardian answered, looking away. "Guys, I'm gonna use the washroom." Guardian told them. He headed towards the washroom and when he entered, he locked the door and took out his cell phone. "Undercover Lightning, they don't suspect anything, all except the one they call Guardian." He walked out of the washroom with a smirk on his face. "Let's go guys." Guardian told the guys.

That night, Guardian could not fall asleep, he laid in bed thinking about Lightning, he sensed evil in him but just then he saw someone entering his room. He pretended to be asleep and spy on him but the man did not leave and started rummaging through Guardian's stuff. "Hey, stop that!" Guardian yelled. The man ran out the door as fast as his legs could carry him. "Lightning!" Guardian exclaimed running after the man. He chased the man in the darkness of the night all the way to a warehouse. "Wait, this is familiar, it's the warehouse where we fought Shape Shift... what's he doing here." Guardian mumbled to himself. He entered the warehouse and hear the man talking to what seemed to be his superior. "I've got it, the lost piece of the Ball of Infinite Wishes." The man told his superior. "Great, now we shall rule the world with an iron fist, and a wishing ball." The man superior cackled. Guardian could not help but break out laughing, blowing his cover. "Get him!" The man's superior commanded, Guardian ran out the door and all the way back home. Guardian got back home exhausted from running and decided to go to the hangout to find Rex and the gang.

 "Nonsense! You woke us up in the middle of the night to tell us about your conspiracy, wow!" Rex exclaimed, annoyed with Guardian. "I'm not one to judge but I think you may be..." Ryan said before Guardian interrupted. "Whatever, I'll prove you wrong, you'll see!" Guardian yelled, storming out the door. "Weirdo!" Rex said while walking back to his room. "I'm right, they'll see!" Guardian boomed, clenching his fist.

Who's right, who's wrong? Is Lightning evil? Check out the next episode of Final Stand!

Final Stand No. 12 - World Domination!

Shape Shift cackled. "The world shall tremble before me!" He activated the machine that sent a concentrated ray of dark energy towards the sky, it hit a satellite and the satellite reflected it back to Earth, the dark energy started spreading throughout the globe and slowly but surely, the dark energy took control of the planet. Shape Shift smiled with glee and teleported back to the warehouse when he saw the warriors all on the ground, defeated. "It's truly over for all of you now!" Shape Shift cackled. "What... What do you mean?" Rex stuttered, his limbs sprawled out on the ground. "I've released a syrum - dark energy- it will take control of the victim and will greatly improve the strength of the victim, making it close to invincible, the world is now in my control!" Shape Shift boomed. "No, that's impossible!" Destroyer yelled, shaking his head.

"Freeze Frame!" Shape Shift thundered, using Guardian's attack to stop all the warriors in their tracks. "Come on boys, let's go!" Shape Shift said, commanding his gang of villains to follow him to his lair. "Ice Witch, Inventor, stay and stop them from leaving." Shape Shift told them. "The rest of you, come with me." The villains returned to Shape Shift's lair and Shape Shift told them. "All of you, Galaxy 5" He demanded them to enter a portal that transports anything that enters to another galaxy. "They entered the portal and, sure enough they were transported to another one of Shape Shift's secret labs. "Now, tear apart this planet!" Shape Shift shouted, energetically. The gang of villains charged out the door and started destroying office buildings and skyscrapers. He started recreating the doomsday weapon on this planet, once again planning to use it to take control of the planet.

Back at the warehouse, the heroes attempted to escape from the warehouse which was encased in ice. "Burn!" Rex yelled, blasting the ice but to no avail. "It's useless, this layer of ice is as hard as steel!" Ice Witch exclaimed. Inventor - Owen - had programmed Destroyer's defence robots to fulfil to his every command. "Destroy them." Owen commanded, getting the robots to go after the warriors. "Oh no you don't!" Ryan thundered, using a barrage of bullet punches to destroy the defence robots but the robots, made of titanium were too powerful for him. "Grr!" Ryan exclaimed before grabbing a nearby pole and lashed out at the robots. "Stand back!" Destroyer boomed pushing Ryan out of the way and launched a powerful attack - Death Ball - at the titanium plated robots and the attack destroyed them with ease. "Not good enough!" Owen shouted, deploying a few drones at the heroes, the drones shot lasers at Destroyer and fended him off.

"Done." Shape Shift exclaimed, activating the doomsday weapon o the planet, mutating the planet's population. He teleported back to warehouse and saw Owen and Ice Witch successfully fending off the heroes. "My turn!" Shape Shift yelled, transporting the mutated monsters to the warehouse and got them to charged at the warriors. "Get away!" Destroyer screamed, blasting the monsters but they were close to invincible and the attacks reflected off them. "How do you destroy these pests!" Rex yelled, blasting the monsters, the blast could not harm them and even made them stronger. "Just, die!" Guardian yelled in frustration, using a bright flash of light to blind the monsters, the attack blinded them and, surprisingly also disintegrated them. "Wait, what!" Rex exclaimed in awe. Shape Shift saw the incident with his own two eyes and transported the rest of the villain gang to the warehouse and they lashed out at the mighty warriors.

Doom used a attack that easily defeats all the warriors as they fall onto the ground, unconscious' "Let's focus on something else, not these weaklings!" Doom exclaimed. "You're right, we should try something else...." Shape Shift said with a suspicious look on his face. "Die!" Shape Shift thundered, creating an explosion that killed all of the villains in the villain gang. "But.... why would you do that!" Rex stammered. "I never liked them, I just needed them to assist me in taking ‘care‘ of all of you, now that it's no longer necessary, they can go." Shape Shift explains, telling them the reason he destroyed his teammates. "You... you monster!" Rex shouted before blasting Shape Shift, he absorbed the attack with ease. "Absorb!" Destroyer boomed, pulling off an attack that absorbs it's victim's powers. "Grah!" Shape Shift exclaimed, attempting to blast Destroyer but he was drained of his power by the attack. "No!" He shouted.

"You guys run!" Destroyer commanded, trapping Shape Shift in a electrified trap. "Let me out!" Shape Shift yelled, desperately attempting to break out of the trap. Guardian and the four warriors ran out the doors of the warehouse, escaping into the darkness of the night. "Whoa!" Guardian exclaimed upon seeing the city in ruins, it was being torn apart by the once human mutants. "We have to stop them, fast!" Electrix told the gang, energetically. Guardian shined a bright flash of light, it like before, disintegrated the mutants. "If only we could reverse the effect..." Nate murmured. "Guys! I've got an idea!" Guardian said as he got a brainwave. "Let's modify the light beam to, instead of destroying, purifying the mutants!" They started modifying the light beam and soon enough, it could purify anything it hits. "We did it! Just one problem..." Rex pointed out. "It can only purify targets one at a time." "Let'suse Shape Shift's satellite!" Guardian said, coming up with an ingenious idea. They decided on Guardian's idea and started pointing the beam at Shape Shift's satellite. But things were not going so smoothly for Destroyer...

Despite taking Shape Shift's powers, he could not stop Shape Shift from escaping the trap, Shape Shift broke the trap apart and charged towards Destroyer, they broke into a fight. "Boom!" Destroyer yelled, pulling out his laser whip and started lashing out at Shape Shift, but luck was not on his side. "Weak!" Shape Shift scoffed, speeding towards the corner of the warehouse where he picked up a large chunk of unused titanium alloy and tossed it at Destroyer, he got hit by the huge chunk of the strong metal and fell to the ground, he recovered quickly and started blasting Shape Shift with powerful energy blasts. This drained Destroyer's energy and soon he was panting. "Is that all you got!" Shape Shift exclaimed, taunting Destroyer. "Grr!" Destroyer thundered while charging up his attack, Death Beam.  "Take this, punk!" Destroyer shouted, zapping Shape Shift with the dangerous beam. "Ah!" Shape Shift yelled, using what was left of his power to absorb the attack.

Will the world be in total darkness forever? Will Guardian and the warriors save it before they become mutants themselves? Is this the end of Destroyer? It will all be revealed in the next episode of Final Stand!

Final Stand No. 11 - Doomsday Weapon

"I've won, you've lost!" Psycho cackled, walking closer and closer to Destroyer. "All of your troops are, occupied, you can never beat me one on one." Destroyer said, full of himself. "You're right, Psycho can't, but Shape Shift can!" Psycho thundered. "You mean the ultimate super villain Shape Shift! What does he have to do with this?" Destroyer asked, surprised. "Well, that's because... I am Shape Shift!" Psycho boomed before revealing his original form, the super villain, Shape Shift.

"But, you can't..." Destroyer stammered, shocked by the happenings. "It's over for you, grah!" Shape Shift yelled, zooming towards the unsuspecting victim, Destroyer and he sent a powerful punch in Destroyer's direction. Just then Guardian, whom had just knocked down his opponent, charged in their direction and stopped Shape Shift's attack, saving Destroyer from intense pain. "Pest!" Shape Shift exclaimed, his face turning red from anger, he used a high kick to knock Guardian out but Guardian skillfully dodged the attack and elbowed Shape Shift, causing him to stumble backwards, clutching his stomach. "Grr!" Shape Shift yelled in frustration.

"All of you are going down!" Shape Shift boomed, creating an energy shield around him while he charging up his attack. "Shield Kaboom!" Shape Shift shouted, making the energy shield around him explode. "No!" Destroyer screamed before being blown away by the explosion. Shape Shift smirked, disappearing behind a cloud of smoke. Destroyer and Guardian looked around but there was no trace of Shape Shift, they decided to help out the others but the gang of villains were too powerful and soon enough, the warriors were all knocked out, unconscious. As the warriors were struggling, Shape Shift was working on a machine that looked like a cannon made to blast missiles. "It's almost done!" Shape Shift mumbled, with a grin on his face.

"This will be fun!" Doom cackled, glaring at Destroyer and Guardian. The two arch-nemesis charged towards Doom and both punched Doom on the face. "Oh it's getting serious now!" Doom shouted, using his Blade of Destruction to slash both supernatural men and they fall to the ground, grabbing the slashed part of their arms. Weakened, the two were no match for the resurrected Doom, they got up still clutching their arms and sent weak energy blasts at Doom, he reflected the blast back at them, sending them to the ground with a hard thud. "The robots!" Destroyer exclaimed, activating his defence robots and commanded them to attack Doom. Doom fought hard against  them but was outnumbered by the titanium plated robots. He was grabbed by dozens of the robots and they sent him flying to the other side of the warehouse, Doom got gravely injured and was unable to recover.

Another battle between Ice Witch and the Guardian soldiers broke out near a huge pile of boxes at the corner of the warehouse. Ice Witch had the upper hand till the soldiers sent a barrage of energy blast at her, holding her back. "You'll pay for messing up my hair!" Ice Witch screamed, encasing the soldiers in a thick layer of solid ice. "Get away!" Destroyer yelled, sending a roundhouse kick to Ice Witch's face. "You..." the Ice Witch  cursed behind her breath, she attempted to freeze Destroyer but he countered the spell with a attack of his own. "Back off woman!" Destroyer commanded, hands stretched out. He lashed out a attack at the Ice Witch that scratched her face and her ballgown. Ice Witch was enraged, she launched millions of hail at Destroyer, he sprinted away but could not escape the Ice Witch's grasps and eventually was defeated by the small bits of ice rain that showered him.

Back at the lair, Shape Shift completed his machine. "Yes! It's done! Now the world shall tremble before me!" Shape Shift cackled in celebration...

What is this weapon? How will Shape Shift plan to use it? Find out on the next exciting episode of, Final Stand!

A few minutes later, Guardian's ship landed on the most deserted place on Earth, Antarctica. "Hmm... this place looks uninhabited, threat's not here I reckon." Guardian mumbled before speeding North at 100km per minute, soon after he reached the scene and realized it was too late, he saw buildings destroyed, people panicking and he heard car alarms going off. "Who could have done this?!" Guardian said behind his breath. Suddenly, a man appeared from behind the remains of a building.

"So you're the one they sent, interesting!" The man - Destroyer, snickered. "I'm Destroyer, you are?" "Let's get straight to the point, come at me!" Guardian shouted, taunting Destroyer.

Final Stand Bonus - Their Origin Story

So it was many, many years ago in barren planet, a soon to be hero was born. The parents were ordinary people who have lived in planet for dozens of years, the kid was rebellious and was never the most obedient kid but the parents took care of the boy as if he was the only thing they live for. When the boy was almost 20, they realized their kid had powers that they never imagined, he used the powers to destroy cities and claim innocent lives. Soon after, the boy's parents died of natural causes, despite them providing the boy with presents and grooming him, he turned his back on them and went down the dark path.

He continued his reign of terror up till a fated day, he was in search of great powers from the Caves of Valor, a place thought to be filled with great power and yet great danger. He entered the caves in search of powers that would make him stronger than he already is, he found nothing in the cave but rocks and complete darkness. Just then, the entrance sealed and the boy was trapped in the cave with no way to escape, he tried blasting the rocks but it seemed to be unbreakable. "Let me out!" The boy exclaimed, desperately trying to escape by punching the walls of the cave.

No one came to his aid, he was trapped in the cave for hours trying to escape but eventually he gave up and lay down on the ground. He started thinking about the past, he thought of his parents who raised him and attempting to mold him into a superhero but he would only use his powers for evil. He started tearing up, touched by the loving memories of his parents. "I'm sorry, I should have treated you better, from now on I shall use my powers to help others." He said, still weeping. Suddenly, a voice boomed. "Finally learnt your lesson, I shall grant you the power of immortality, save the world hero!" The boy grew up to be a superhero that goes by the name - Guardian...

During that period, on a planet that is the complete opposite of the aforementioned, a bright kid born with powers was born, even as a kid he would help others, when he made a mess he would clean it up. He was a playful boy but he knew when to do what, his parent though rejected him and he was adopted at the age of 5.

Final Stand No.10 - Psycho Unleashed

"Destroyer!" One of the men shouted across the room. "Guardian, long time no see." Destroyer cackled. Destroyer landed the first hit using a energy blast but the attack was weak and barely harmed Guardian and he returned the favor with a energy blast of his own. They appeared equal till Destroyer's patience ran out and he used, the Dark Force, a attack that temporarily disables the victim. "Grr! You'll pay for this!" Guardian exclaimed, immobilized by the attack. The rest of Guardian's gang attacked Destroyer but none of them could even touch him. "That's it, Crusher, destroy them!" Destroyer boomed, commanding the battle-damaged Crusher to destroy Guardians soldiers. "Kay, boss." He said, reluctantly, launching a energy blast at the soldiers but the attack from the weakened Crusher could only hold them back,  one of the soldiers counter-attacked with a hard kick to Crusher's face. "Ow! It's getting serious now!" Crusher thundered, charging up his finisher, the Kaboom of Doom. "Grah, take this!" He shouted launching the attack at the group of soldiers, it knocked them off their feet but ultimately did nothing in damaging the soldiers.  "That's enough Crusher, my turn." Destroyer said, instructing the damaged giant to stand back.

"Let me show you how it's done." Destroyer said, landing a barrage of punches on one of the soldiers, knocking him out, unconscious. "Stop. Hurting. My. Troops!" Guardian thundered, breaking free from the paralysis. "That's for hurting my troops!" Guardian exclaimed, punching Destroyer in the stomach. "Get out of my way!" Destroyer yelled, giving Psycho the signal to shoot the cannonballs. Psycho did not hesitate to launch dozens of the gigantic steel balls. "Grr! Don't you dare!" Guardian shouted while destroying the cannonballs one by one. "Try me!" Destroyer exclaimed, charging up his finisher, the Wrecking Ball of Destruction. "Have a taste of this!" He screamed, launching the all-powerful attack at Guardian. A humongous energy ball hurled in his direction, Guardian decided to fight back using a attack of his own, the Freeze Frame stopping time temporarily, allowing him to escape the huge blast which stopped in its tracks. Unfortunately the attack could only freeze time for a few seconds thus the large ball of vast destruction caught up to him eventually and almost swallowed him whole if not for one of his soldiers who got in the way of the attack which destroyed the soldier. The four warriors witnessed the fascinating battle with their own two eyes, stunned by the happenings.

One of Guardian's soldiers saw the four in the corner and, taking advantage of the battle to free them from the chains. "Thanks!" Rex said sincerely before heading in the direction of the battle between Destroyer and Guardian. Rex distracted Destroyer with a energy blast but the distraction was not enough for Guardian to charge up his attack. "Pest!" Destroyer said, irritated. He grabbed Rex and threw him on the hard floor of the warehouse. Destroyer then charged towards Guardian, grabbing his soldiers and pushing him onto the ground, the soldiers who witness their master getting beaten up ran towards Destroyer and fended him off and stalled till their master got back on his feet. The four warriors charged up towards Destroyer and pushed him on the ground, hitting him but the hits only fueled his determination to destroy Guardian, he kicked the warriors away and charged towards Guardian. Just then, Psycho entered the battlefield, using his powers to launch the surrounding objects at Guardian causing him to be knocked out, unconscious. "Great job Psycho!" Destroyer said, filled with praise for the short guy but the next move Psycho made was to mind-control Destroyer and possess his body.

"What?!" Rex exclaimed, witnessing the weird incident. Psycho spotted Rex and, using Destroyer's body to throw energy balls at Rex, the energy balls hit the target and Rex stumbled backwards, losing his balance. Destroyer, now in Psycho's body felt strange. "Where, what..." He stammered, looking around. He then saw Psycho in control of his body fighting Rex and ran over stopping Psycho from destroying Rex. "Hey! Back off!" Destroyer yelled, using Psycho's telekinesis to paralyze Psycho and brought Rex to a corner. "You have to help me get my body back!" Destroyer pleaded Rex, falling on his knees. "Why do we have to do that!" Rex exclaimed, pushing Destroyer away. "Because I was the one who saved you from Doom, I was the ninja." Destroyer explained, telling Rex what happened. Suddenly, a explosion was heard behind them. "No!" Destroyer said, shaking his head. Psycho, who was freed from the temporary paralysis ran toward dashed towards Destroyer and Rex, using Destroyer's attack to harm them. Bruised by the attack, Rex attempted to creep away, Psycho did not seem to notice and started walking closer and closer to Destroyer, smirking. "For years, I've been looked down upon, now I shall rule the world with a iron fist!" Psycho cackled. "Body Swap!" Destroyer yelled, swapping bodies with Psycho once again, returning into his own powerful body.

Psycho whom was back to his original body flew away from Destroyer and towards the center of the warehouse. "Too late! I'm all set to go beck in time to free all villains that can help me rule the world!" Psycho cackled, going back in time. "Grah!" Destroyer boomed, stomping his feet in anger. Just then, Psycho appeared in the same position with a group of villains, the group included Doom, Demon and other powerful beast from the four warriors' adventures. "No way!" Nate exclaimed, his mouth wide open in awe. "It's over for all of you!" Psycho thundered, commanding the group of villains to attack Destroyer and the four mighty warriors...

Final Stand No.9 - The Galaxy Destroyers

"It's over now!" The muscular man yelled, using his attack on Serene. "Let me free!" Rex bellowed before breaking out of the trap. "Leave her alone!" Rex exclaimed, shooting a energy blast at the man. He was surrounded by a blue aura and was floating 3 feet into the air. "Bye, weaklings! " The man said in a goofy manner, waving to Rex and Serene. "Are you okay?" Rex asked Serene. "Yeah..." Serene told Rex in a weak tone. "I'll find out who did this!" Rex exclaimed, sending Serene to the hospital.

The next day, Rex told Nate and Ryan what happened. "Them again!" Nate exclaimed slamming his fist on his desk. "I'll find their hideout, you guys stay here, go to the location when text you!" Rex told the others. He headed out and started searching block to block, after a day of searching Rex found the men in a warehouse working on a huge machine. "There they are!" Rex exclaimed, texting Nate and Ryan to tell them where the men are. "Stop right there!" Rex yelled upon entering the building. "You again, we've been expecting you." The muscular man said, just then another man, wearing black armor appeared. "So you're the guy my men told me about, I'm Destroyer, let me test your prowess." The man said, taunting Rex.

Rex charged at Destroyer, landing a hit but it could barely scratch Destroyer. Destroyer then teleported behind Rex and knocked him down with a single flick on the head. "That was easy!" Destroyer exclaimed, flexing. Just then, Nate and Ryan arrived at the scene. "More weaklings, come at me!" Destroyer bellowed. Ryan attempted to sweep Destroyer off his feet but to no avail. Nate then blasted Destroyer, unfortunately the attack was dodged. "None of you deserve to fight me, why don't you fight Crusher instead." Destroyer said, pointing at the muscular man. "Me, why thanks boss!" Crusher exclaimed, looking surprised. Rex got up and charged at Crusher, Rex punched Crusher but the hit was blocked and Crusher returned a blow on the stomach, knocking Rex out, unconscious. "You'll pay for that!" Nate yelled, shooting a energy blast at Crusher, harming him. "Not bad." Crusher said with a smirk. Upon saying that Crusher ran in a zigzag pattern towards Nate, he swept Nate off his feet and jabbed him causing him to roll over in pain. When Ryan witnessed the incident, he darted towards Crusher but was knocked out easily by a barrage of bullet punches. Suddenly, a surge of electricity surrounded Crusher.

"Electrix?!" Nate exclaimed in awe. "I thought you..." Ryan stammered before being cut off. "Leave questions for later." Electrix said. Electrix then electrocuted Crusher. "Ah! Who..." Crusher said before being knocked out, Destroyer watched in amazement. "You! Come get me!" Destroyer boomed. Electrix zapped him but the blast was not powerful enough to damage Destroyer. "Give me all you got, don't hold back!" Destroyer yelled.

 "You asked for it... Ball of certain destruction!" Electrix thundered, shooting a electricity ball at Destroyer. Destroyer ran from it but it chased him at the speed of light. When the ball caught up to him, it split into millions of small part that launched itself at Destroyer, greatly damaging his armor. "Not bad, have a taste of this!" Destroyer shouted while summoning a whip that could extend to lengths of 100 metres, he used the whip to smack Electrix.

"Ow! Stop!" Electrix said, running from the humongous whip. "That's right! Run!" Destroyer said before being stopped by Rex whom got back to his feet and grabbed Destroyer's feet like a child clinging on to his mother. "Get off me!" Destroyer hollered, attempting to kick Rex away. Just then Electrix took advantage by grabbing Destroyer's arms. "One word, desperate!" Destroyer exclaimed whilst escaping Rex's and Electrix's grasps. "Fun's over, you're all going to die!" Destroyer roared, signaling to the short man, Psycho to activate the machine.

 "What do you mean?" Rex questioned. "Let me give an explanation, we are a group of intergalactic invaders, we destroy planets that are weak and take control of the stronger ones, we will be destroying your precious planet with that machine, the Planet Eradicator." Destroyer explained while Psycho activated the machine. "Well, it's time to say goodbye to Earth forever!" Destroyer cackled, taking aim with the machine.

Suddenly, the machine blew up. "What!" Destroyer shouted looking at the remains of the machine. "Yes! It worked!" Electrix exclaimed, in celebration as he blew up the machine. "Don't burst into celebration yet, I got one last surprise for you!" Destroyer said, grinning. He clicked a button that activated a group of robots at the corner of the warehouse. "Attack!" Destroyer howled, commanding the robots to charge at the four warriors. "Take that!" Ryan boomed, destroying one of the many robots. "We're outnumbered!" Nate exclaimed while being pushed on the ground. The robots grabbed the four mighty warriors and tied them up. "Let me go!" Rex cried, attempting to break free from the chains. "Don't even bother trying, it's made of titanium." Destroyer stated. "Let me introduce you to my creation, the Disc of Destruction!" Destroyer cackled, removing a sheet that was covering a giant disc. He flicked a switch on the wall and the disc started spinning, faster and faster he placed cannonballs on the disc and it spun the cannonballs towards the four who had no way of escape. "Ah!" Rex screamed before before being knocked out by one of the cannonballs. Just then, a group of soldiers entered the warehouse. "So we meet again, Destroyer..."

Who are these people? Is this the end for the four? Why is Electrix back? Most importantly, who will prevail? Find out on the next episode of Final Stand!

Final Stand No.8 - Threat To The Universe

"Bye!" Electrix said to his friends, waving goodbye before heading on the flight to the United States, he was going there to study for a diploma. The trio then walked back to the hangout chatting about their previous battle with Demon when they were stopped by a tall man who was extremely muscular, the man punched them continuously and knocked all three all them down despite their skills, Rex and Nate shot their lasers at the man but the lasers were reflected off the man, while Ryan's martial arts could barely scratch the him. "What are you!?" Rex stammered after being knocked down to the ground. Officers saw the incident and rushed over but as they were running towards them, the man disappeared behind a cloud of smoke. "What!" Nate exclaimed when checking on the smoke. "Where did he go?" One of the officers asked, his mouth wide open in shock. "Dunno." Ryan said shrugging his shoulders.

The next day, Rex was walking to the company building when a short guy who looked twelve walked up to him. "Stop right there!" The guy said stopping Rex. "Who are you?!" Rex said rolling his eyes. "Don't underestimate me!" The guy shouted, using his power to move the objects around them to launched them at Rex. "Ow!" Rex yelled. "Take this!" The guy boomed, forming a huge bubble around Rex. "A bubble, pathetic!" Rex exclaimed, attempting to free himself from the bubble. "What! Is this even a bubble?!" He exclaimed after realizing he was stuck in the bubble while punching the bubble, panicking. "Who's pathetic now?" The guy said, mocking Rex. "Grah!" He yelled, shooting a laser from his eyes that destroys the bubble. Then there was a bright flash of light that temporarily blinded Rex, when his vision was restored the guy was nowhere to be found. He had a feeling the occurrences were linked with one another. When he got to the office he saw Ryan and Nate and told them what had just happened. "Weird how it happened in such quick succession huh!" Rex said. "We should watch out in case there are more of them."

In the following days, there were a huge increase in natural disasters, earthquakes happened more often and the trio's town was flooded. "The troublemakers must be causing this mess!" Rex exclaimed, jumping to conclusions. "Let's investigate." They had a look around the neighborhood but there was not trace of the men. "Must be somewhere wrecking havoc!" Rex said, feeling annoyed for not being able to find the men. After half a day of searching they found the men fighting a huge mob of police officers. "Stop right there!" Nate shouted. "You again!" One of the men exclaimed. "You wrecked our city!" Rex yelled, shooting a laser at the man but much to Rex's dismay, the man dodged it with ease. "That all you got?" The man said, charging at Rex, ramming into him. "Not so tough now are you?" The man scoffed. "My turn!" The shorter man said clapping his hands together, creating a huge gust of wind to blow Nate and Ryan back. "Ah! You..." Nate stammered. "Come back when you're stronger weaklings!" The shorter man mocked the trio before both men vanished into thin air.
"Not again!" Rex exclaimed still sprawled on the ground.

A few days later, Rex and Serene were going for dinner at the most romantic restaurant in the city, Lovers Diner. They were on the way there, talking and laughing as they walked but they had a feeling someone was following them. "It feels strange, why do I get the feeling someone's following us." Rex said. Suddenly, the muscular man appeared out of nowhere. "Say goodbye!" The man shouted and charged at Serene, grabbing her and pinning her on the ground. "Bwah, hah hah!" The man cackled before continuously punching Serene. "Help!" Serene screamed. "Too late!" The man said, tying up Rex in a split second before Serene could even escape. "Die!" The man bellowed, charging up his finishing move. Cosmic Destroyer...
