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!"
