Chapter 65 - The role of the Freemasons.

Kai and the others prepared to follow Nova into the Orc and Ogre quarter and to get to the bottom over the stranger happenings that had been occurring all across the planet. Kai began to explain why there was an Ogre and Orc quarter in the first place, "It has to do with international politics, the Qatari empire which presides over no less than three

supercontinents on this planet. There are no less than 53 super continents on the planet,

has a strict racial caste system and Ogres and Orcs are at the bottom, thus in every city within the empire the Orcs have a quarter that's usually run down," said Nova. Talus

began to laugh, "I assume the same does for Demons," said Talus. Nova's briefing had

stirred the room, and everyone seemed to feel the weight of the mission ahead. The

mention of the Orc and Ogre quarters, cast into near decay under the Qatari empire's

harsh racial hierarchy, painted a grim picture of the place they'd soon enter. This gritty

underworld, where the Empire had pushed its marginalized to the bottom, would be the

next stage of their journey. The memory of what occurred flooded back into Kai's mind.

Nova's explanation hung in the air as Talus broke the tension with a chuckle. "So, I

assume demons are shoved to the same low rank, then?" A smirk crept onto Nova's face.

"Not quite. But they're not exactly holding the reins of power here, either," he replied.

Kai's thoughts drifted to what they'd face in this quarter—an environment he'd only

heard of, filled with worn-down alleys, shady dealings, and likely the dangerous presence

of those working for the secretive Freemason circles. It was a far cry from the structured

world of the Hero Association, yet he felt ready. Ungar, sitting quietly throughout the

talk, now spoke up, his voice deep and steady. "The layers of power here are complex.

You'd do well to be cautious—each resident of these quarters has a story far more

complicated than what we see." Zaiyal, ever the peacekeeper, nodded in agreement. "If

we approach with respect and keep our wits about us, we may even gain allies among

them. The Freemasons aren't exactly adored by those they control, either." Nova's gaze

sharpened. "Exactly. This is reconnaissance and a show of strength—finding allies where

we can and making a clear message that the Hero Association is not ignorant of what's

happening here." Kai took a deep breath. The gravity of the mission settled into him with

a calm resolve. He wanted to do more than just fight and survive—he wanted to uncover

truths that would bring justice. Tonight's plan had transformed a simple investigation into

a defining journey, one that would bridge unlikely allies and challenge them all in ways

they hadn't anticipated.

Kai woke from his chance when he heard Nova say, "everyone, it looks like we're here."

All of them stood before what looked like some bar from a mind of fantastical fantasy

world. Now that Kai thought of it the whole area looked like a JRPG or a fantasy novel,

there were Dwarves and Elves and Orcs and Fairies and fantastical creatures of all kinds,

some folks were even walking their own pet griffins. Pubs and magic shops everywhere

are completely different from the highly futuristic City Z with flying cars and high-tech

skyscrapers. Everyone walked into a bar and sat down in front of a strange goblin looking

creatures in one of the booths at the back of the pub. A waiter deliver there beverages and

everyone i.e. Nova, Talus, Zaiyal, Kai and this creature stared at each other for a moment,

this thing was apparently Nova's primary primary source as of now a figure he had

contacted before through the internet and who could relay information about the Occult and if possible Dr. Lingote. The creature took a pig swig of alcohol and then spoke in

gurgled speech; "so you're the famous Pulitzer prize winner Nova, and you have a little

hunch about the Freemasons and the Universities. Is this really so? You have such

contrarian takes on such esoteric matters. You're last paper was about events on a planet

called Earth over 10,000 years ago. Something about how European civilization had

proven to be the superior civilization by the year 1800 AD on their Christian calendar,

and certainly by the year 1900 AD of their calendar. You discussed the superiority of the

European race and civilization over African, Chinese, Islamic, Oriental and all other

civilizations and societies on that planet. The piece is about some Arab Christian living in

the Islamic Arab world by the name of Ameen Rihani who lived between the years of

1876 and 1940 of their imperial western calendar. He sought to unite Christian and

Muslim Arabs against the white colonial empires and establish Arab nationalism, this

was potent as the Ottoman Caliphate collapsed in 1924 and hence the political core of the

Sunni-Muslim world, but this was futile as Rihani believed Arab civilization was superior

to European civilization and this proved to be false as European civilization was

genetically and culturally superior to any other civilization on that planet not always but

after the year 1700 or 1800 before this they were equal to the rest of the populations of

earth, the European Revolution as it were, but you also explain that the European world

destroyed itself after the Second World War in 1945 confusing the pseudo-scientific and

almost Lovecraftian Neo-Pagan views of Adolf Hitler, Himmler and the Nazis with that

of European imperialism and supremacy. And by the year 2100 AD of their calendar the

entire white world lay in ruins. Such an interesting paper, quite the page turner," said the

creature. Nova laughed and said, "Gordo, I know about what it says in the paper "I"

wrote two years ago, I want to know about the Freemasons and the right and honorable

Dr. Lingote, what information do you have?" The creature took another sip and then said,

"I'll start with the more complicated of the two factors involved so I'll focus on the

Freemasons and the Occult first before I cover the connection to Dr. Lingote. First of all,

the Freemasons worship an ancient Gnostic god called Abraxtos, he is the god of both

light and darkness and is the patriarch of a group of 8 gods known as the "Arnoch." The

Arnoch are the eons-old enemies of the Immutable Entities who are said to be the

attributes of the God of Light.

They have waged a war for more than trillions of years,

Abraxtos is not evil he wants to bring balance to the world like some kind of Taoist or

Chinaman or something. [Laughs] Anyway, the Freemasons worship this creature and

they receive their funding from major Occultist groups," said Gordo. Zaiyal wiping the

sweat from his forehead said, "how high does this go, do the Freemasons have any

political connections?" Gordo smirked, his yellowed teeth gleaming. "Oh, they're as

embedded in politics as ink is to parchment," he replied. "The Freemasons are connected to the ruling elite across several empires, though it's kept well under wraps. In the Qatari

empire, which controls 3 of the world's 53 supercontinents, high-ranking Freemason

members influence everything from trade routes to arcane research institutions. They're

well-funded and well-hidden, with countless front organizations.

The Order ensures loyalty among political leaders, often through dark favors or hidden

debts. The Orkish and Ogre quarters? They serve as a convenient hiding spot for their

more illicit operations, including connections to groups that specialize in...shall we say,

less legal endeavors." Nova nodded slowly, processing this disturbing revelation. "And

Abraxtos? This Gnostic god of balance—what's the end goal here? Why worship a god of

both light and darkness?" Gordo chuckled, the sound almost unsettling. "Ah, Abraxtos

doesn't play by conventional rules. According to legend, Abraxtos is said to seek cosmic

equilibrium by any means necessary. His followers believe that for peace to reign, there

must first be chaos—hence their alliances with Occult groups and those who stir fear in

the public eye. The Freemasons see Abraxtos as a necessary contrast to the Immutable

Entities, the alleged 'pure' beings they believe impose a one-sided view of morality on

the universe." Talus shook his head, clearly disturbed. "So, they want to force the world

to embrace darkness, thinking it'll somehow balance things out?" "Exactly," Gordo

replied, raising his glass in a mock toast. "They see destruction, conflict, and the Occult

as essential ingredients in the alchemical mix of balance. They've been following this

path for countless centuries. And Dr. Lingote? Let's just say he's an eager scholar, ready

to push boundaries beyond morality or reason." The table fell silent, each of them

pondering this new piece of the puzzle. Nova, determined, leaned forward. "What else

can you tell us about Dr. Lingote's connection to the Freemasons?" Gordo's eyes

gleamed, almost conspiratorially. "Dr. Lingote is a contractor of sorts—a scientist

obsessed with interdimensional knowledge. The Freemasons are simply the highest

bidder for his 'research' on these realms. His work supposedly uncovers ways to access

alternate dimensions and even potentially merge them with our own. He's spoken of

something called 'the Rift'—a gateway to bring otherworldly beings here. If they

succeed, even the Ogre and Orc quarters won't hold a candle to the chaos that's coming."

Kai exchanged glances with his team, his resolve hardening.

"If Dr. Lingote's on the

verge of tearing open dimensional boundaries, we have to stop him—and any Freemason

factions that support him." Nova nodded, his gaze intense. "Agreed. This won't just be a

reconnaissance mission. We need to act swiftly and decisively. Let's dig deeper into the

Orc quarter tomorrow, find out who else might be involved, and stop whatever madness

they're planning before it goes any further."

Zaiyal spoke, "It makes sense, Gnostics were persecuted back on the planet earth by the

Catholic Church in Europe and the near east. They've always sought to have Abraxtos reign over the Universe, I guess they're finally getting they're way. Talus laughed, "you

forget who you're talking about. I'm a proud apostate of the Demon Clan "the Mozaku", I

served under Lucifer and I therefore more powerful than any of these clowns! Mark my

words these Gnosis freaks don't hold a candle to the champion of the Demon Tribe," said

Talus. A large creature began marching forward, excuse me, "excuse me, are you looking

for trouble."

Meanwhile in the realm of Nightmares Daniel and Igor stood knelt before the throne of

Abraxtos. There was a dark foreboding in the air, one could cut the tension with a knife.

Abraxtos tapped his fingernails on his throne. "So you say Ungar is behind some kind of

plot against the Demiurge. Hahaha. Typical 300 years, well I guess 1,300 years hasn't

changed that stuffy upstart at all," Abraxtos punched the throne, "Damn him! But that's

okay, I have a little surprise for you Daniel." Daniel placed his hand on his chest, he was

incredibly nervous he had never seen his lord Abraxtos in the 1,000 years he had been

stuck in this realm. He looked calm however, "what would that be my lord," said Daniel.

Abraxtos snicked and said, "This," snapping his fingers. Before them appearing from

darkness appeared exact replicas of several of Daniel's friends. There was a dark version

of Ungar, Zaiyal, Talus, Tashkent, Noah, the late Sarai, Narcis, Sir Rhyme and Guan Fu,

they were perfect replicas in every way. Finally they stood behind a monkey with six ears

and a large staff, it was of course Sun Wukong's great rival the Six Eared Macaque. The

monkey knelt, "master I have created these specimens to aid Daniel and wait there's

more," as he said that another clone appeared, a clone of Daniel himself. Abraxtos

laughed, "This is perfect! With two Daniels we can lull them into a false sense of

security; they won't know who's actually leading them!! It's just too perfect!!" All of the

demons present began to clap and the applause was palpable. Abraxtas quietly started,

"You will lead all of these clones including the one of yourself Daniel. But wait there's

more, heh!" Out of the darkness came a being that looked like Ungar but different; he had

a silver cape, red eyes, red armor, and a powerful aura, he was no less than 8 feet tall a

whole foot taller than Ungar. Abraxtos spoke up, "this is Oghuz, he was a Gettling or a

son of the Star People exactly like Ungar with the same origin story his body contains the

souls of no less than 10,000 Universes and he's much more powerful than Ungar. He has

long ago realized the righteous cause of the Demiurge. And just like Ungar and all other

Gettlings, he's immortal. He is an old rival of Ungar, in fact Ungar trapped him in this

world 1,300 years ago under the orders of his old master the god Ebisu... Oghuz! I

assume your excited," said Abraxtas. Oghuz clenched his armored fist, "I have waited

many years to put that disbeliever in check. Finally I can seal him in this unsightly abode,

something he has long deserved," said Oghuz. One of the demons began to laugh, and

then another and another, until the entire throne room was filled with the laughter of cackling demons. Abraxtos looked forward, "let me tell you, why are we all here

today..."

The image appears in one's mind of the tale Abraxtos told. Long ago a council of gods sat

in a hall of the divine and they handled the dominion of the worlds. Before all the gods

sat, "the Buddha," sitting before the deities of countless other deities including: "Odin,

Thor, Zeus, Ameratsu, Cthulhu, Aluvetar, Perun, Azathoth, the Jade Emperor of Taoism,

Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, the deities of Mormonism, the Jinn, and the Valkyries," to name

a few. The Buddha stood with his palm facing forward. A group of goddesses called, "the

Sirens," knelt before Lord Tagatha as Lord Tagatha stated, "you believe the creation of

mortals is ideal, I do not know, I fear what will inevitably be created if we create the

world." Everyone was confused, the Buddha clarified: "I we created the world, it will

inevitably bring about the creation of the Demiurge, everything must have balance for

there to be a physical world there must be something that traps created beings in that

world, and to continue life in the physical world when your time makes one a demon, for

all beings must accept reincarnation." After these words left the mouth of the Holy

Buddha, Odin rose up with his single eye that he lost to obtain great Wisdom and his

faithful crows, "You honestly think that the gods cannot put a stop to the Demiurge, he is

only one entity. This Demiurge which will be created could not stand before all of the

gods?" The Buddha quietly stated; "I have decided that we should create the world

knowing of this, but we must be aware of what this creature will bring upon the world."

The Buddha and the gods created the world and instantly the Demiurge appeared before

them. He was a terrible creature, a Lovecraftian nightmarish deity with eyes all over his

head, a human-like body, four hands with sharp claws, blackish gray skin, red

octopus-like eyes, with sharp teeth and green spittle leaking from his filthy mouth. The

Buddha stared at him with angst and let the evil deity go knowing what would come.

After several months the army of the Demiurge returned with certain gods that had sided

with him both turncoats like the god Loki and horrors of his own creation. But the

Demiurge, the Arkon and the ilk that served him were defeated and Buddha cast them

into the darkness. Eventually they were able to escape aeons later until they were sent

back where they came once again some 1,300 years ago by one of Buddha's loyal

servants, Ebisu, and his servant, Ungar. To this day the dark gods and the demons sought

to return and now it seemed like they soon would.

Meanwhile back in Nova's compound, Kai excited after a day of school was listening to

music on an old walkman from 1980s Earth. When "Sarah," the amazing Sex Pun walked

into the room wearing nothing but a bathrobe. She began to seduce Kai. "Hey Kai, I hear

you're in highschool. Don't you highschool boys have a thing for Milfs?" Kai was

listening to a truly terrible song "More Than A Feeling," by the band Boston. Kai looked up and saw Sarah take off her bathrobe and expose her completely naked body. She

began to caress Kai, Kai tried to resist at first but he quickly gave up as his hormones

were taking over. She initially performed oral sex on him but only for a moment then she

crawled on top of him and began having intercourse with him with her large breasts

probably [32 DD] filing into his face, it was honestly pretty loud. This continued for

about 20 minutes until Kai climaxed as soon as this happened, Ungar in his armor was

standing before them. "Are you done yet, Nova wants to hold another meeting?" Kai and

Sarah screamed. "DO YOU MIND! We're kinda having an intimate moment you

pervert!" said Sarah. "Oh please, I have no sexual interest at all. I'm far beyond that, I

have no body and therefore no genitals and no desires. In fact..." Ungar removed his

helmet showing no head, which made Sarah and Kai verbally and physically cringe. "You

see," said Ungar. Sarah screamed, "fine you're not a pervert! You're just a freak!" Ungar

laughed again, if I am you are too, in fact my body is made up of both of your souls that's

why I know that Sarah you are wondering if you remembered to take the pill and Kai is

thinking about telling all his friends at school tomorrow that he had relations," said

Ungar. Sarah became angry and began to hit Kai, "you little bastard this is how you repay

me for taking your virginity!" said Sara. "Jeez, I'm sorry I won't do it anymore I swear."

said Kai. Talus walked into the room with his hands behind his head, "hey guys, wait

were you guys having sex?" said Talus. "OK! You have to be a pervert!" said Sarah.

Talus laughed, "Says you the pedophile. Me a pervert, kinda hard to believe since we are

the only two people in this compound that don't have genitals. Please sister even if I was

interested I've seen better," said Talus. "WHAT DID YOU SAY???!!! You little bastard! I

wish you were a pervert! Rather than a piece of shit!" said Sarah. Talus responded by

childlessly sticking his tongue out and making childish kid sounds. Finally Nova came in,

"I've been screaming for 5 minutes hurrying up all of you." Sarah screeched, "those two

are the only two that don't have genitals you have to be a deranged pervert then. How

dare you walk in here!" said Sarah. Nova without any expression simply said, "I could

have been a pervert. But here's the thing, I'm a homosexual." said Nova. Sarah's eyes

turned into two black dots and she simply quietly said, "unbelievable I'm surrounded by

freaks." Nova, losing his patience, screamed, "hurry up, I'm not here to deal with some

hippies in the Summer of Love, get to the meeting room now." Ungar turned around with

his cape slightly fluttering and so did Talus. Kai got dressed and Sarah got her clothes on.

Everyone went into the main dining room and waited with bated breath for Nova to speak

about what he, Talus, Zaiyal and Kai had discovered the other night. Nova stepped

forward, "first of all I think I should cover current events, just this morning at

approximately 92:00 the Qadari empire declared war on the Naxalite Confederacy. That

is to say, this nation is in a state of war and tomorrow we as members of the Hero Association will have to attend an important meeting at the Hero Association

Headquarters. Except for Kai, you have a field trip to the Imperial Aquarium tomorrow in

the lower quarters," said Kai. "Mortals always squabble, tell us what you discovered from

going into the ghetto last night," said Ungar. "We discovered the location of Dr. Lingotes

compound. Its in the northern continent called Lulusia, it should take us about 16 hours to

get there. We will travel by shuttle craft. My plan involves assistance from my

connections in the government. I've been plotting for six months to capture Dr. Lingote,

if this works we may be able to shut down all of the interdimensional happenings. But

that will be done tomorrow. At the moment the news of the declaration of war takes

precedence."

The room fell silent as Nova laid out the plan, his intense gaze sweeping

over everyone gathered. The news of the Qadari Empire's declaration of war had already

shaken them—this wasn't just any war but one that could reshape the political landscape

they knew. For some, this shift might present new opportunities or threats, but for Nova

and his team, it meant the stakes were higher than ever in their pursuit of Dr. Lingote.

Ungar, impatient as usual, cut straight to the point, pushing aside talk of mortal politics.

"So, the location's confirmed. Lulusia... That place is crawling with high-level security

and mercenaries," he muttered, his hollow gaze unblinking. Nova gave a slight nod,

acknowledging the challenge. "Lulusia is no ordinary place," he continued. "Dr. Lingote's

compound is nestled in a vast landscape of tundras and mountains, filled with scattered

villages and military outposts loyal to him. This journey isn't just to gather intel; it's to

seize him before he can execute any further experiments." The plan was ambitious:

relying on Nova's government connections, they would slip past the regular checkpoints

into the northern continent by shuttle craft, a journey that would take 16 hours. Nova

detailed the next steps, emphasizing how capturing Dr. Lingote could unravel the

interdimensional incursions and, perhaps, avert the greater dangers looming from the

Freemasons' scheme. Zaiyal nodded thoughtfully. "Shutting down Lingote's operations

would cut off a significant part of the Freemasons' power. But we're all aware he won't

come quietly—he's got resources, armed guards, and if he's as connected to these

interdimensional entities as we suspect, he might have... otherworldly protections." Nova

acknowledged Zaiyal's caution with a serious look. "True. That's why preparation is

everything. This will be an infiltration, but if needed, we'll escalate to neutralize any

threats." While the room absorbed the gravity of the mission, Kai looked slightly

disappointed, realizing he'd be heading to a field trip instead of joining the team on such

a high-stakes mission. Noticing this, Nova offered a reassuring glance. "Kai, you'll play

an essential role by being our eyes and ears in the city. The Hero Association may

overlook things we can't, and if this war with the Naxalite Confederacy escalates, your

insights on ground-level activities could be just as critical."

Kai perked up, appreciating the trust Nova placed in him despite his limited experience.

The meeting closed, and everyone went to their quarters to prepare. As Nova walked out,

he paused, looking back at the group. "Tomorrow, our actions might tip the balance in

this interdimensional crisis. Let's be ready for anything." After a short while, everyone

went downstairs into Nova's basement. Guan Fu was the first to speak up, "Nova, I've

heard you recently completed an invention that would help us get stronger." Nova turned

around, "yes I do, all of you follow me." Everyone followed Nova into a room that had a

large metal door that seemed to lead to another room. "This is the Battle Simulator, it's a

room that uses artificial simulation and reads the wavelengths of the brain to fight

whoever you so wish in order to grow stronger, Zaiyal, why don't you give us the honors,

test it out for us." Zaiyal walked into the room, as he walked in he saw the room turn

from a simple room with metal walls into a vast destroyed wasteland. Before him stood

Lord Tep with his red cape whistling in the breeze, "Zaiyal, how cute, you think you have

a slight chance in defeating me. It's inevitable, the gods will live in a world free of

mortals, everything will be remade in my image," said Lord Nyhatrotep. Zaiyal laughed

to himself thinking, "of course, Lord Tep was so strong before but that was so long ago

it's been 1,000 years. Let's see how strong I've become." Zaiyal in his Solarian battle

armor stepped forward preparing his martial skills, "You are no more than a figment of

my imagination and advanced simulation Tep, you died long ago," said Zaiyal. Lord Tep

laughed, "You must have lost your mind, but you'll see how real I am." Lord Tep leaped

into battle and so did Zaiyal. Zaiyal unleashed a volley of attacks which threw Lord Tep

back. "How is this possible? How are you this much stronger than me?!" screamed Lord

Tep. With a single blast of energy from his hand Lord Tep was nothing more and the

simulation was over. Zaiyal, filled with confidence, said, "this is excellent, to think that

this is how powerful I've become!!"

The following day Kai was on the school field trip, traveling by train to the Imperial

Aquarium as this was occurring Nova was taking the team to a meeting by officials from

the government and other members of the Hero Association on a secret mission. Kai was

talking to his friends on the train as one of them said, "you told us your friends are

superheroes working for the government. Where are they going today?" Kai said

nervously, "I don't know, I think it must have something to do with the state of war in the

Qadari state." As he said these alarms began to ring out as the train raced across the

tracks over the ocean below water began to fall out from below in certain spots. Out of

them flew giant robot mechs who were heading to a specific location. All of Kai's friends

looked at the window in awe, one of them said, "Kai, you think this has something to do

with your friends?" Kai thought about it to himself, "does it have to do with my new

friends?" Meanwhile, on a base on one of the polar continents, Nova had used a large shuttlecraft that was located in his compound to take Zaiyal and the others to the

government headquarters up in the polar regions. Nova was driving the ship as Noah sat

in the passenger seat and everyone else sat in the back. In the back Ungar stood with his

arms crossed standing up, Narcis Martreya sat on the ground as he meditated. Zaiyal sat

on the floor with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, and Talus did the same. "So Nova,

how much further until we reach the location?" said Ungar. Nova said with his usual calm

lisp, "we will arrive in about 5 minutes, we will land on a helipad and then fly about a

mile and a half northeast and the government headquarters will be there. Fly by flying

ourselves, I know we all have the ability to fly. The reason for this is the government base

is supposed to be a secret so its easier for people to enter without a vehicle. So make sure

you all hug the ground." Sarah the Amazing Sex Pun shivered, "no way, it's so cold out

there! I'll totally freeze to death!!" Talus laughed, "Just call one of your clients, I'm sure

they'll warm you up honey." Sarah, angry at Talus, gave him the middle finger while

sticking out her tongue and holding down his left lower eyelid, "why don't you sit and

spin you little creep!" said Talus. Talus snickered again, "why would I need to, you've

already cornered the market on that front," said Talus. Sarah began screaming at him until

Zaiyal raised his voice, "THAT'S ENOUGH! You are all so irritating, I've had enough of

this dribble. NOVA! What's the game plan, how do we take out this scientist?" Nova

simply shrugged, "the government officials will tell us, other than what I've told you

already you know as much as I do." Zaiyal, frustrated, said, "Tch, useless." Ungar said,

"looks like we're here." Nova lowered the helipad, and all of them got out of the large

aircraft as they began to all levitate into the air. Sarah and Noah were shivering, Noah

said, "oh my god I'm so cold." Sarah for her part said, "Oh my god! I'm going to turn

into an icicle! Can't a girl get a break." Narcis Matreya calmly said, "even as a

Bodhisattva I am cold but you must power through it. The base is just up ahead." Ungar

in response grunted, "you mortals are so fragile, the fact this change in scenery has any

impact on you." Nova shot ahead and they all landed in front of an ice cave. Nova

audibly said a number, "3987." A door opened and they all slowly began to descend in a

large elevator.

The scenery was beautiful with large icicles everywhere. Noah for his part was pressed

up against the glass mesmerized by the winter wonderland. In a matter of moments they

were at the ground floor surrounded by people, many of whom were in ridiculous

costumes. One man who went by the name, "Chicken Man," was dressed as a large

chicken and spoke in a ridiculous southern accent. Scott Greer began to make references

to ICP and revel in the existence of Chicken Man. There were other superheroes such as;

Cat Man, BirdMan, Dog Man, the Amazing Flea, Chromium, and Agoraphora. There

were no less than 250 Super heroes present and government ministers. Chicken Man cracked his neck, "Who's the new meat?" Ungar stood with his glaring red eyes,

"Chicken Man, age 45, born in Sector 42B-568890, is currently a bachelor but lives with

his mother, he is ranked #85 in the Qadari Empire's Hero Association on Planet Helios, is

of Quadifalian stock, a descendant of Harkan the Great from the year 1500 IB, is allergic

to eggs and chicken products that do not originate from him, etc. etc. etc." said Ungar.

Chicken Man staggered backwards, "how could you know all that you filthy demon, why

is he allowed to be here?!" said Chicken Man. "He's with me," said Nova. Chicken Man

staggered again, thinking to himself, "I've never known Nova to have bad judgment, but

just who is this guy?!" A large general stood before everyone and began to brief each and

every person about this situation and the fact that they were covering how to lay a

successful strike on Dr. Lingotes compound. When the ace in the hole stepped forward,

"Red Ace." Red Ace was a large superhero in red spandex, "Hello everyone, Nova's

briefed me on all of your identities. You must be Ungar, I wanna try something." Red Ace

struck Ungar and when he struck the armor on Ungar's chest a warp of blue energy and a

sort of Cosmic ball appeared over his body. "As I suspected, your body is made up of no

less than 600,000 Universes. I can't lie, I'm excited.

LET'S TEST OUT THAT

STRENGTH!" Red Ace threw another punch, Ungar dodged the punch but the next

punch sent Ungar flying. Red Ace bellowed, "No come on all of you! I'm ready for it!!!"

All of them came at Red Ace, first Zaiyal and Narcis Matreya unleashed a volley of

attacks simultaneously, Red Ace dodged them like butter. He then unleashed a kick that

sent Zaiyal flying through the window. Then he turned around and knocked with a kick to

the jaw some sense into Narcis exclaiming, "a mighty Buddha befalls to the fist of a

common hero." After the kick from the jaw it was clear that the Amazing Sex Pun was

behind him, he ducked down got beneath her and kicked her upwards, then in a flash he

turned around sending Noah flying who came up with a sword behind him, the Green

Wisp dodged Noah's flying body and began whispering an Islamic prayer to himself, "By

the mercy of God, the great Red Ace falls here today!" Red Ace smirked, "you and your

little desert trading religion, lets see what your weak God can do against this." Red Ace

flew through the air and seemed to teleport around flying so fast the naked eye could not

keep up with it. He knocked the Green Wisp to the ground who staggered for a second

but then quickly collapsed. Next Scott got into the scuffle, "Scott the 187 IQ genius, I

heard you're quite highly respected." Scott chuckled and said, "that's what the layman

say about me." But as soon as these words left his mouth he was used as a ragdoll and

thrown into Tariq Nasheed. Red Ace had hardly broken a sweat fighting Catman who was

a large Cat and Dog man who was a human dressed as a dog sending them through the

glass floor, "I guess it's raining cats and dogs today." Guan-Fu leaped into action but was

quickly subdued. Mozi who was a muscular alien with purple skin, pointy ears and two antennae stretched out his arms to try to grab Red Ace but Red Ace simply flung Mozi

through the air into the Amazing Sex Pun. Finally, Warp Ninja, leaped into battle the

armored masked ninja who had the ability to spend space and time but somehow Red Ace

countered everyone of his attacks. Finally Ungar and Zaiyal had returned, both of them

standing beside each other facing Red Ace in a fighting stance, "BEHOLD!" said Ungar.

He struck his arms outward, "behold the power of 100,000 Universes together, stars and

nebula could be seen, the sky trembled, black holes were visible, great oceans, jungles

and landscapes could be seen, deserts and temperate forests, other worlds beyond

imagination, both celestial and physical in origin, at the end of this Ungar shot an

incredible blast of energy with the entire power of 100,000 Universes at Red Ace. But

when it was over Red Ace stood there, "Is that all, if it was 500,000 cosmic voids perhaps

I would be worried."

Ungar and Zaiyal leaped forward, Zaiyal shreeked, "behold the

power of a pure-blooded Solarian warrior!" But as per his record, Red Ace grabbed

Zaiyal by the forearm throwing him into Ungar, Ungar was thrown backwards with

Zaiyal, but Talus slapped them both out of the way, the blast through Ungar and Zaiyal

into the wall.

But Talus paid no mind to them, leaping forward without saying a word, Red Ace could

hardly believe it, he unleashed a volley of punches but to little avail, Talus dodged them

all like butter sliding through a pan. Zaiyal slowly got up and looked at Talus and had a

cocky grin on his face, it's like he was waiting for this fight his entire life. Red Ace could

do nothing, the confident cocky super hero was getting nervous. Red Ace thought to

himself, "who is this little cretin, how is he so fast and strong?" Talus finally wound up

his fist, "I guess it's good night Green Fist," but just as Talus's fist struck Red Ace's face

it was caught by Nova in mid air shocking both of them. "That's enough," said Nova.

"The generals have to brief us right now." Talus, who was quite angry, let out his

irritation, "Tch, whatever."
