Soldier of Asgard, hero of Midgard and…”\n\n“Darling you’ve been playing too much that videogame” laughed Dave as Draco posed in front of the mirror”\n\n“Hehe I can’t help it! It’s really hilarious” shrugged the wolgon putting on his clothes “Though, you know? I’ve been thinking… it’s been so long since we started on this, I mean I started when I was 18 and now I’m 26… and though I know several heroes live this kind of life for a long time… they haven’t been killed twice, lost their powers and having them returned by an evil being…”\n\n“I know, I know” smiled Dave patting Draco’s head “but we are what we are, we cannot change that, I mean, I was raised since I was a cub to be this.”\n\n“Me too!” argued Draco “But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a quiet life.”\n\n“We have been mixing it, you own the club and your agency, and Nick has even given us free days, not like before” said Dave as he pulled his pants up.\n\n“That because now there are more heroes than before” smiled Draco chuckling “besides, that crazy rider has been recruiting more and more.”\n\n“Well that’s true” smiled Dave putting a shirt on “C’mon, the reservation is at eight o’clock.”\n\n“I know” smiled Draco dressing as formal as he could with a nice dark grey suit while Dave finished wearing a black suit “Who would have thought? First marriage anniversary.”\n\n“Yes, and reservations on the best Italian restaurant in the city”\n\nDraco and Dave smiled at each other and walked out of the room ready to go to their romantic date. Heiban had found an apartment meaning he was no longer living with them, Keene went to a sleep over with Tuff in England and surely by that time the both of them would be enjoying each other under strict supervision of Duncan and Charade.\n\nWith a swift swirl of the key holder, Dave opened the car doors and both went inside. The magnificent interiors smell like new, of course, they had bought the car just some weeks ago. Dave drove slowly in the night as Draco stroked his hand with care.\n\n“You know I love you right?” smiled Draco when they arrived to the place.\n\n“I do” chuckled Dave as they reached the counter “Umm reservation for two, Wolfox-Nidhoggson?”\n\n“Sure, allow me to check… yes here you are, come in please”\n\nThey were guided to a nice table with candles and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Dave smiled and Draco gasped looking at it. The folf took them and gave them to his husband.\n\n“Happy anniversary my love” smiled Dave.\n\n“Oh thanks darling!” squealed Draco taking the flowers and smelling them. There weren’t only roses but lilies, violets and even dragon flowers in there. It was a beautiful present.\n\n“Only the best for you” smiled Dave as they took seat and ordered.\n\nThe first to come was the wine, a soft and sweet one since Dave didn’t use to drink unlike Draco who was used to alcohol due to him being and Asgardian and his job at his own club. Soon the chat and laughter began as the food arrived with delicious pasta, soups and steaks. Draco smiled at Dave and the folf smiled back, neither noticing the world around… until a huge blast in the kitchen made the whole restaurant rumble.\n\n“What the fuck?!” shouted Draco standing up immediately “Is not possible that this is happening today!”\n\n“I’ll kill the bastards that…” started Dave annoyed for the spoiling of their anniversary.\n\nBut soon, rather than just the common screams for help, they heard something else… a laughter Draco well knew and some moans… not pleasure ones but… angst ones? What was happening? The two ran to the area dodging the people that was running away, some were bleeding, some others were still safe but the wounded could be attended later, they were in shape to escape. Draco rushed his way and bumped with a stinky guy who was arched over something that was on the floor.\n\n“What the… sir please…” started Draco but soon he noticed the wounds and the… lack of flesh on certain parts of the guy… and worse, he noticed the corpse he was over, EATING it “ZOMBIE!” shouted Draco to Dave but the folf was already struggling against one of those nasty things.\n\n“Actually they are ghouls” laughed Tyr coming out of the kitchen “oh sorry, did I spoiled something?”\n\n“You…” growled Draco leaping over the ghoul and smacking Tyr down to the floor.\n\n“Ahahahaha! Is that all?” laughed the snow leopard rolling on the floor and then standing up again aiming at Draco with his mechanical hand.\n\nThe wolgon dodged the incoming fire after moving so it hit precisely on the ghoul attacking Dave. The folf thanked and started to send thunderbolts at the horde of ghouls that came out of the kitchen.\n\nMeanwhile, Tyr ran to Draco and managed to punch him to the wall as the wolgon growled and lit fire on his hands tossing the fireballs to the ex Aesir.\n\n“That won’t do!” laughed Tyr blocking the fireballs and sending them back to Draco.\n\n“Hey! The suit was expensive!” roared the wolgon as the fabric burned in some parts leaving in terrible conditions his clothes. Much to his dismay, Dave’s suit was going the same way as he fought the ghouls.\n\n“Don’t you have a better way to defend?” asked Tyr laughing as he rushed against Draco rocketing a punch right to his face.\n\n“Yes I do!” roared Draco summoning Gram and dodging the punch to slash at Tyr’s mechanical hand managing only to lower it and take the snow leopard out of balance.\n\nTyr turned as he went low and kicked Draco slashing with his boots the chest of the suit ripping it and destroying Draco’s scarlet tie.\n\n“It was a gift from Dave!” roared Draco reacting violently at Tyr smashing his head with the hilt of the sword.\n\n“Ack! You faggot come here!” roared Tyr punching Draco’s gut and making the wolgon fly to the ceiling and slam there.\n\n“DRACO!” roared Dave looking at his husband fall to the floor again. The folf had fended off the ghouls already but more were coming “I’ll make you pay imbecile!”\n\nDave ran to Tyr and thunderbolted him making the snow leopard screech in pain and slam against the wall. And then, Dave smell the gas coming out of the kitchen… and with the explosion from before…\n\n“SHIT!” the folf grabbed Draco and pulled him on his paws again.\n\n“I-I’m fine…” mumbled Draco.\n\n“Darling we gotta get out! There’s gas and fire in the kitchen.\n\n“R-right… run…”\n\nDraco and Dave stumbled their way out of the restaurant just in time as the kitchen exploded again and the restaurant itself caught on fire. The firefighters arrived too late as both heroes were gasping with their cloths turned into rags. Draco was sitting over the grass in the square in front of the restaurant looking at it burn down to its foundations.\n\n“We better inform…” started Dave but their phones began ringing, both at the same time, and it wasn’t their common phones, it was Novak’s designed phones.\n\n“Hey Fury… how do you make calls to two different phones at the same time?” asked Draco.\n\n“Several lines of phone number” said the panther “To the helicarrier… immediately.”\n\n“Guess we’re up to work again” said Draco looking at the destroyed restaurant “Happy anniversary” growled the wolgon as he made his wings appear and held tight on Dave’s armpits flying to the helicarrier.\n\n“Wait! What about the car?!” shouted Dave.\n\n“It was in the parking lot… do you see it anymore?” answered Draco, obviously annoyed.\n\n“I’ll call the insurance tomorrow…” sighed Dave, it was the seventh car that year.\n\n--- o ---\n\nNick Fury walked from side to side in his office at the S.H.I.E.L.D. transport and base. By his side was Abigail Grant tip tapping her claws and looking annoyed at the door that was now open and allowing a lot of people to enter. Some minutes ago, it was just Nick and her, now her men were there too, the three of them, Félix, Eddy and Pierrot sitting and waiting for orders, the raccoon seemed annoyed since she called him to go when he was in the middle of some hugglesnuggle with his brother-boyfriend. Then, Fury’s men started to arrive, first the whusky in red and black fur, wearing his suit and holding his shield on a hand, confused of why he was called but was informed immediately. Then the lion arrived with his lover. After that the vixen arrived with a jackal, a fennec, a young dog and Keene, the asgardian’s adoptive son.\n\n“Are they going to come today?” asked annoyed the chimera looking at Nick.\n\n“Give them some more minutes” said the panther.\n\n“Today was mom and dad’s anniversary” said Keene sighing and sitting on the desk looking at the door “It’s obvious they will take some…”\n\nKeene’s words stopped as Draco and Dave entered the room, wounded and with the clothes turned into rags.\n\n“MOM! DAD! WHAT HAPPENED?!” shouted Keene standing up and running to them.\n\n“We’re fine” smiled Dave.\n\n“Stupid Tyr… stupid ghouls… stupid, stupid work!” roared Draco and he leered at Fury “ok panther what you missed to inform us this time?!”\n\n“Nothing” admitted Nick “This came as a surprise. There have been reports all over the world of zombie attacks.”\n\n“Those are not zombies” said Draco and Duncan at the same time “Those are ghouls.”\n\n“Fine... ghouls, whatever” growled Abigail.\n\n“What is she doing here?” asked Dave.\n\n“We’ll have to work together apparently” said Pierrot looking at all the others.\n\n“Nice to see you guys” smiled Draco looking at the three top assassins of S.W.O.R.D.\n\nNick sighed and ordered them to take seat. The couple sat down and looked at the panther as he turned on a huge hologram displaying a mapamundi with all the spots where ghoul attack had been reported. Draco was really surprised to find out that it was worldwide, true to what Fury had said. Then the panther continued the explanation making some profile images appear in there: Tyr, Dread Skull, The Zar, a raptor with roman armor and a tigress.\n\n“So far we now, Dread Skull, The Zar and Tyr started attacking at the same time in different spots… these other two were spotted causing mayhem at the same time too” started Nick.\n\n“That’s Master Cesar” said Keene pointing at the raptor “He’s the one that kidnapped Mom and Dad some months ago.”\n\n“Fine, now we can give a name to the face” growled Abigail.\n\n“Boss, be more help than annoyance” said Félix sighing.\n\n“Ya… you better behave” growled Eddy still clearly annoyed of the interruption he suffered even if the translator in his collar offered a nearly monotonous voice.\n\n“You’re the least to tell me THAT! Faggot incestuous coon!” barked the chimera looking at Eddy but the raccoon didn’t recoil, he kept the hard leering at her.\n\n“Wow, he really is intense” said Charade looking at Eddy.\n\n“Yeah, you should see him killing” smiled Tuff.\n\n“Well, stop the chit chat” interrupted Charlie “Nick, what’s happening? I assume all this is interconnected right?”\n\n“Indeed” nodded Nick looking at the hologram again “for now, apparently the reports have ceased… But I’m not sure that’s all. The reason I brought you all here is because I may need you all to cooperate together, both Avengers, Duncan’s group and Abigail’s special operatives.”\n\n“What? Why?” asked Heiban “I mean, we’ve worked together some times but, we’ve all faced those people!”\n\n“You haven’t faced Wisp” said Duncan “She’s an English crime lady whose dream is to conquer the world, plus she’s a pyrochinetic so…”\n\n“Ok, Ok I get it” grumbled Heiban.\n\n“For what I see… that’s a classical announcement attack” said Novak.\n\n“Yes, typical of big armies with high confidence in themselves” completed Eddy “For what they displayed today… they are preparing a huge attack… maybe worldwide proportions… the problem is…”\n\n“The problem is that, even though they are working together, neither of them have showed signs of working well with others in the past” sentenced Pierrot “Selene said that there must be someone else working behind the shadows, forcing them or incentivizing them to work as a team.”\n\n“Last time it was Beelzebub, Leviathan and Belphegor” said Draco “But Famine took Beelzebub and Leviathan away not so long ago.”\n\n“Yes, War took Belphegor too” said Heiban.\n\n“Plague took Asmodeous” agreed Dave.\n\n“And Death took Lucifer away” finally said Novak.\n\n“Curiously I haven’t heard anything from Mammon in a long time, and he hasn’t got redemption yet… specially after that… thing going after us.”\n\n“Thing?” asked Draco looking at Duncan.\n\n“Yes” nodded Charade, the thing that we tried to fight in New Orleans, the one that ate Dusk.”\n\n“Oh… that thing, He said his name was Shade, right?” said Draco looking at Nick “Any sightings of a shadowy dude with curious humor who apparently speaks to no one and that also make pages appear out of nowhere?”\n\n“Not that I know” shook his head Nick “But for today, I want you to go back to your houses and stay sharp. Making sure the perimeter is safe”\n\n“You made me stop my night with Rafa for this?!” asked annoyed Eddy “ACK! I’m out of here… if you need us, you know where to find us. Let’s go boys”\n\n“Y-yes boss!” said Pierrot and Félix at the same time standing up.\n\n“Umm mind to give us a ride?” asked Félix to Lenna.\n\n“No problem at all” smiled the Vixen.\n\nOne by one, the gathered there left the office, even Abigail left cursing and blaming on her team. In the end, only Dave, Keene and Draco remained there with Nick. The wolgon sighed and crossed his arms.\n\n“I know, it was your anniversary and everything went wrong” said Nick.\n\n“I’m getting tired of this… I cannot have a romantic life without some… monster, villain or menace showing up” growled Draco.\n\n“That’s the life we took mom” smiled Keene patting Draco’s arm.\n\n“C’mon babe, time to go home” smiled Dave and the three stood up.\n\n“One minute” said Nick looking into his desk “I… know is not much, I asked Duncan what kind of things you both liked and since you don’t have a pet he gave me this” the panther took a medium sized egg with dark and light blue designs.\n\n“W-what is that?” asked surprised Dave.\n\n“As I said, Duncan told me you both would love this… maybe the three of you” said Nick “I know is not that much but, happy anniversary you two.”\n\n“T-thanks” said Draco blushing a bit… was that a kind act from Nick Fury? Not only one spy, but THE spy?\n\nKeene took the egg looking at it surprised and confused and then gave it to Draco. He took it and it began to flash a bit. Dave looked at that and chuckled rubbing the side of the egg.\n\n“It’s like a magic lamp or what?” giggled the folf as the trio walked out.\n\nDraco summoned his wings again as Dave grabbed the egg and Keene made his armor appear. They flew back home as Nick looked at the hologram again. Eddy, Pierrot and Novak had mentioned that there could be someone even stronger moving the strings… but who? Anyways, everyone was warned to keep the eyes peeled in case anything weird happen.\n\n--- o ---\n\nTyr growled looking at the clock. He didn’t want to waste any more time. He wanted to go and fight already but the cursed boss they had now was delaying things. By his side, The Zar was drinking some tea with Wisp who, unwillingly, had to make peace with him. Dread Skull and Master Cesar also were minding their own business… so far the raptor had taken about 100 civilians and they were sent back to his own dimension. He was already getting loot and the ex Aesir had nothing yet.\n\n“I sense your annoyance a mile away” said the voice of Lich King as he coiled like mist around Tyr only to take his anthro form again in front of everyone.\n\n“That slave trader got already 100 slaves! I got nothing to be satisfied!” roared Tyr “You promised me I’d get to kill Nidhoggson!”\n\n“And you will, eventually” growled Lich King “I’m not an idiot… they are already waiting for us to attack. Do you really think is wise to go head first now that they are ready?”\n\n“Yu idiot! Yu have to get more patienze! Ve ar going to make Ze attack when bozz orderz it!” growled Dread Skull.\n\n“He’s Rrright” nodded The Zar “We’ve only begun with this! Arrre you going to spoil everrrything forrr yourrr own pleasurrr?”\n\n“Classic of a barbarian” said Wisp at the same time as Master Cesar.\n\n“I’m a GOD!” roared Tyr.\n\n“And as such, a God of War should know how to wait patiently till his enemies lower their defense” stated Lich King “Now, if you excuse me, I got some more hiring to do.”\n\n“That idiot” growled Wisp when Lich King disappeared “If I could…”\n\n“I’d seal him away again” growled Master Cesar surprising all “There’s no guaranty he’ll just skip my place… once he’s done here, he’ll go with my own dimension for sure.”\n\n“Don’t think yu that zpecial” said Dread Skull “Bezides, once he’z done vhat makes yu zhink ve’ll ztill be alive? Fer zure he’ll have uz killed too! Zo ve have to gang against him vhen time comez!”\n\n“Firrrst thing you say with sense, wolf!” said The Zar as he sipped more tea.\n\n“I just want Nidhoggson’s head on a stake…” said Tyr “whatever happens to midgard is not of my interest…”\n\nThe five villains looked at eachother. For sure they had to work for Lich King for now in order to gain power… but once that was done, they’d have to kill him… and that worried them, how would they be able to kill such a powerful being… that apparently was already dead?\n\n--- o ---\n\nSome months after the meeting, things went back to normal, or at least what they could call normal. After all, who would have thought that the egg Duncan gave to Nick would be…\n\n“Tsuki!” shouted Draco as the little red and blue eyed dewott ran to him with a huge smile in the muzzle.\n\n“Tsuki’s here master!” greeted the pokémon.\n\n“Why didn’t you ate all the food?” asked Draco showing the plate to him.\n\n“Oh! Tsuki don’t like feeshes hehe! I prefere the berries Mr. Duncan send everyday” said the dewott and Draco smiled petting him.\n\n“Fine, I’ll ask him to send more than the usual amount” giggled the wolgon as he saw the dewott waddle his way to Keene’s room where they both were playing.\n\n“A pokémon huh?” asked Dave hugging Draco from behind.\n\n“And skillful in magic too” said Draco “Indeed is the best thing we could have got from Nick.”\n\n“Plus he cares tons for us” smiled Dave as Draco threw the fish to the trash can.\n\nDraco smiled at Dave and they went to Keene’s room seeing both playing Mario Kart. Keene was already 18 years old, but, he still acted from time to time like a child. And Tsuki was nothing but a cub yet, so the two got along pretty well. The wolgon and the folf then returned to their own room and laid in the bed looking at each other. It was weird that there were no reports of activity yet… no attacks, no sights… nothing, and it had been nearly four months. Everything was in peace and normal… why did they attack that night then?\n\nSoon, the night took them in its embrace and both fell asleep. But the night itself carried a voice with it, a voice Draco well knew, it was the horseman’s voice and it said “They are coming, check the news”. The wolgon jumped out of the bed feeling a sting in the ribs like if the horseman had poked him there. For a minute he felt uncomfortable but then, he noticed that the TV was already on and exactly on CNN. It was five in the morning when he saw it, it was a report of Italy being assaulted by zombies… and in the footage… he saw him… the large dragon made out of bones… the Lich King.\n\n“DAVE!” shouted Draco as he jumped to the closet and put on some clothes “Italy! NOW!”\n\n“W-what?” asked Dave still half asleep as he saw the TV and got a first plane of Lich King killing the cameraman “OH MY GOSH!”\n\nThe two took their phones and alerted everyone they knew, even Nick. Draco rushed to Keene’s room and woke him up as the sleepy Tsuki waddled his way to his master.\n\n“W-what’s going on Master Draco?” asked Tsuki rubbing his tiny eyes.\n\n“We got work sweetie, I’ll ask a friend to mine to take care of you while we’re out ok?” said Draco in a hurry but Tsuki summoned a scythe.\n\n“I can go! I can help masters!” smiled Tsuki. Draco looked at him for a moment and then nodded. Tsuki was a pokémon and a skillful wizard. It wasn’t like he was defensless.\n\nKeene finally dressed up and summoned his armor as he rushed his way with his parents and pet out of the house, and then, they flew to the helicarrier to be taken to Italy. In the flight, they were met by Novak and Charlie wearing the IronLion and Saviour armors. Heiban was flying on a motorcycle made for him in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s labs. Meanwhile a Queenjet met them with Eddy, Pierrot and Félix inside together with Black Widow. Only Duncan was missing, but knowing him, he’ll arrive just in time on Italy since he was in England.\n\nThe group entered the hangar and rushed to Nick where they found Abigail standing there too. The vehicle was flying at high speed towards Italy.\n\n“Looks like they already found their way to attack” said Novak.\n\n“Yes, right when we let our defense down a little” growled Abigail.\n\n“They knew that if they let some time pass we’ll grow careless” sighed Eddy “I’ll make sure they find a suitable end with Masamune!”\n\n“Easy there, we want to apprehend them, only killing if necessary, understood?” said Nick.\n\n“Nick, my team ALWAYS go for the kill!” shouted Abigail.\n\n“Then make them face the ghouls, they are experienced and always go out of their missions without a scratch! My heroes always face huge threats, they can handle that monstruous thing and the villains.”\n\n“Sounds like a plan… says Selene” argued Pierrot “We clear the way out of ghouls while the rest apprehend the villains and then we all face the big bone thing.”\n\n“Fine for me” nodded Félix.\n\n“Agree” the heroes choired in agreement as Eddy smiled.\n\n“Fine then! We get to fight those bastards away!” cheered Eddy summoning Masamune.\n\nIn a matter of minutes they were on Italy already on the Piazza di San Pietro where people had been evacuated and taken to refuges. The last time it was a global attack but this time it was centered… why? But surely the answer will hit them when they meet with…\n\n“So this is the group of Heroes that think they can defeat me?” asked Lich King appearing above the huge church that was used as the base of Catholic Church.\n\n“Lich King” said Draco growling but before he could say a thing, the huge dracolich whispered.\n\n“Separate them… and kill them all”\n\nAs ordered, a horde of ghouls appeared and rushed against the heroes, and worse than that, the five criminals also jumped into action ruining the plan of the team since Master Cesar went directly against Eddy, Félix and Pierrot; The Zar against IronLion and Charlie; Dread Skull against Black Widow and Captain Fur and Tyr and Wisp against Red Nidhogg, Folf Knight, Cobalt Daze and Tsuki.\n\nIn a matter of seconds, the group was spread and forced to fight not only ghouls but a villain or two.\n\n--- o ---\n\nEddy got Masamune ready as the ghouls surrounded them and Master Cesar approached with a firmly held glaive in the hand. The raptor examined both Eddy and Félix and then posed the eyes on Pierrot. He smirked.\n\n“Well, you two raccoon and tiger will definitively made a nice addition to my fortune once I sell you as slaves” Master Cesar laughed as the ghouls started the attack and Eddy sliced them just like Pierrot and Félix focused on shooting at their heads with chirurgical precision “And that puppet you have there will make my room be warm when I use it as coal!”\n\n“You wish!” roared Eddy kicking a ghoul and managing to find an opening towards Master Cesar.\n\nThe raccoon rushed his way and clashed steel with the raptor while sparks flew to the sides and Félix changed weapons to increase the effectiveness. Pierrot went back to back with Félix and covered him using the 9 mm machine guns that were recently attached to him.\n\nThe clashing of steel echoed and continued surprising Master Cesar. How an effeminate raccoon teenager like that could be so strong and fast?! The raptor gritted his teeth and Eddy smirked managing to kick him on the gut throwing him back.\n\n“Imposible!” shouted Master Cesar looking at Eddy “Stupid teen how dare you?!”\n\n“Teen?” asked Eddy and he, as Félix and Pierrot burst in laughter “Sorry old bag but I’m not a teen, I have twenty six!”\n\nMaster Cesar gasped when Eddy made a sudden burst of speed and reached him slicing part of the leather of his armor. Félix and Pierrot on the other hand continued slashing and the scorpion even used the tail to create a slashing cyclone that Félix avoided jumping over his boyfriend’s back. While Eddy and Master Cesar slashed at eachother, Félix finally took a machine gun in one hand and a magnum on the other making sure every single bullet hit its target. Pierrot continued using his back legs blades literally grinding the ghouls without much problem. The problem wasn’t that they were strong… the quantity was the problem, not the quality! And in an instant, some ghouls pulled Félix who gasped in horror seeing their jaws getting close to him. But by fortune, Pierrot shoot and even Eddy helped shooting without even looking back.\n\nOn the sword fight, Eddy had already cornered Master Cesar as he smirked with his eyes glowing slightly. The raptor was surprised by the raccoon’s stamina and also the weird coldness that was feeling… at least, until he noticed the street they were fighting in had already begin to freeze making it slippery. Master Cesar tripped and that helped him dodge a slice right to his throat.\n\n“Surprised?” asked Eddy with the mechanical voice of the translator.\n\n“What… you can’t speak?” laughed Master Cesar stabbing Eddy’s leg, but the raccoon foresaw the attack and dodged slicing more of the leather on Master Cesar’s armor.\n\n“I only know how to speak Spanish and Tibetan, that’s why boss gave me this…” Eddy touched the translator “so I can mock of my victims”\n\n“Wait what?!” asked surprised Master Cesar by hearing the word ‘victims’ “W-what exactly are you?!”\n\n“We’re assassins” smiled Eddy and he extended a hand like if he were slapping the air.\n\nA frozen wind of aura blew towards Master Cesar who dodged but not in time as the shoulder pad of his armor got frozen solid making it really heavy.\n\n“W-What kind of power is that?!” roared Master Cesar.\n\n“No power” smiled Eddy “That’s my aura... my soul” the raccoon readied another blow “Get ready to feel the sting of my soul!”\n\nWith only a few miliseconds of warn, Eddy shoot his aura at Master Cesar who got the chest plate frozen instantly. But the raptor managed to dodge at the cost of one of his arms.\n\n“D-Damn it!” roared Master Cesar surprised and looking with the only good arm he was left for the syringes that had the power suppressor he had used on those two heroes months ago.\n\n“Don’t think so!” shouted Eddy slashing at Master Cesar missing by only a millimeter.\n\n“Aha!” Master Cesar grinned and drew the shoot moving fast and inoculating Eddy it on his neck. The raccoon yelled feeling weird and dizzy.\n\n“Eddy!” roared Félix and Pierrot at the same time hearing their partner and friend.\n\nThey both ran to him shooting ghouls on the run managing to open a breach in the barrier that was separating them from the other two. For an instant, they saw the syringe and thought Master Cesar had poisoned Eddy since the Raptor was now laughing. But then, they saw how Eddy stumbled his way up helped by Masamune.\n\n“T-that was really low” growled Eddy.\n\n“Try to use that ‘aura’ of yours now” laughed Master Cesar readying a deadly blow with the glaive noticing Eddy being weakened.\n\nThe raptor leaped forward with the glaive in position to pierce the raccoon’s heart, but Eddy raised a hand and his aura covered Master Cesar who gasped surprised as his body froze.\n\n“What an idiot…” growled Eddy looking at the now frozen raptor that was inside an ice cube.\n\n“What did he did?” asked Félix as Eddy took the syringe out of his neck and looked at it.\n\n“I can’t read this stuff… not like I can read anything hahaha” he mocked at himself.\n\n“I can’t understand it either… I guess is latin” sighed Félix.\n\n“Give me” Pierrot took it and read it “It says to suppress the power of superbeings”\n\n“Powers?” asked Eddy and burst in laughter “I told him that was not a power hahaha what and imbecile!”\n\nEddy got close to Master Cesar and was ready to pommel the ice when he remembered Nick wanted the villains alive. He sighed and looked around noticing they were once more surrounded by ghouls.\n\n“You have the lead killing ghouls… mind if I join the game?” asked Eddy as he readied Masamune and one of Roku’s 9 mm.\n\n--- o ---\n\nWhile the ghouls remained on solid ground, The Zar, IronLion and Charlie had flew upwards to battle. It didn’t take time for The Zar to start attacking both but Novak dodged together with Charlie the incoming laser beams. Their armors had been upgraded recently and were faster, though Saviour was still only a rescuing and first aid armor with basic self defense mechanisms.\n\n“Charlie! Fall back” ordered Novak.\n\n“Hey! You’re the one that wanted me to come” said the younger looking lion as he dodged another laser.\n\n“Would you two faggots stop chit chatting and focus on the battle?!” roared The Zar as he tried to hit any of the two, mainly Charlie. \n\n“We’re on it” growled Novak as he and Charlie flew towards the armored bear.\n\nSoon they were face to face and started to attack with beams from The Zar and IronLion while Charlie focused on using the teaser guns of the Saviour armor. It didn’t caused a lot of damage but it managed to distract The Zar long enough like to allow Novak to land some hits. Of course. The Zar hadn’t upgraded his armor like they did, but he was still really fast! Especially now that he didn’t have the handicap of the hellfire burning his body the longer he used the armor.\n\nIn a slip of focus, Charlie got too close and The Zar managed to take his boot and spin throwing him towards Novak. Both armors crashed and fell to the ground where several ghouls surrounded them easily.\n\n“Oh darn… we’ll have to focus on defeating him or the ghousl!” shouted Charlie as he fired again the teaser guns of the armor without much effect on the ghouls.\n\n“Ok, love you’ll have to forgive me for this” said Novak “Jarvis activate protocol We0001SA!”\n\n“What?!” shouted Charlie thinking that would send him flying without him controlling the armor back home.\n\n- Protocol activated Sir…\n\nThe Saviour armor then rearranged taking some flamethrowers and on the left hand and a crossbow charged with electric arrows on the right one.\n\n“YOU ADDED WEAPONS?!” shouted Charlie.\n\n“Just in case babe… have fun with the ghouls!” chuckled Novak as he flew back up to the sky so he could face The Zar.\n\n“What?! DON’T LET ME ALONE HERE YOU MORON!!!” roared Charlie but then he saw that the horde had surrounded him “If I die.. I’ll come back to kill you”\n\n- Sir, the Saviour armor has a machine gun on hands too, shall I change to that weapon?\n\n“You do so I can fill with bullet holes that lion once I’m done” growled Charlie and the armor again moved changing the flamethrowers and crossbow into machineguns.\n\nCharlie began shooting at the ghouls reducing them to piles of flesh and bones. Moving fast and making sure with the auto aiming of the armor that every bullet landed correctly and without causing collateral damage. Meanwhile, Novak had already reached The Zar and started to punch him really fast making sure that there were no openings in his own defense.\n\n“I see you have trrrained, da?” asked The Zark as a mocking.\n\n“I’ve upgraded my armor and now is better than yours!” stated Novak shooting a repulsor beam on The Zar’s face, without effect.\n\n“I see” the bear chuckled and punched IronLion sending him towards a flag pole that instead of breaking, remained stiff.\n\n“Well at least I’m not going to have to pay for this” laughed Novak and he flew towards The Zar, but the pole whipped and wrapped his ankle “W-what the heck?!”\n\n“Don’t look at me!” laughed The Zar diving to land a punch to Novak.\n\nThe lion hurried to shoot lasers at the pole so it would melt but he couldn’t do it on time and The Zar managed to punch him making him spin. The pole seemed like gum now… it was really flexible and it wouldn’t let go of his ankle, but Novak continued firing laser at it.\n\n“I’ll enjoy this!” laughed The Zar charging a powerful beam against Novak.\n\n“Oh SHIT!” growled Novak noticing the laser wouldn’t break the pole for more he tried “JARVIS! ENERGY DEFLECTOR NOW!”\n\nThe Zar fired his beam and an energy shield blocked the way sending it right against The Zar who dodged it with a swift somersault on the air. Novak growled and gasped noticing that the energy of his armor had been reduced gradually with the deflector. But soon he felt the heat increasing and noticed Charlie firing the flamethrower against the pole managing to melt a part. Novak broke the twisted part around his ankle and looked at The Zar.\n\n“I’m not done with this!” growled the bear “I’ll Rrrip you aparrrt!”\n\nWith that said, The Zar flew towards Charlie smacking him down to the ground and slamming him against some ghouls. Novak gasped but Charlie informed he was fine as he stood up and continued firing against the ghouls. Trying to get the horde reduced without any success. Apparently the Lich King was going something to increase the amount of ghouls. Actually, where had he gone? He went out of sight after the team got spread.\n\nNovak shoot The Zar again looking down and realizing that Charlie was ok, surrounded but with enough ammunition to defend any flank. When the lion lifted the face again, he saw the huge muscular armored bear above him. The punch felt as much as it sounded and he fell to the floor breaking the street, and then, The Zar tried what he did way before. The bear dropped like a bomb ready to take the lights out of his consciousness. But Novak saw it coming and used the propulsors on his boots to fly away as The Zar slammed his whole body on the ground, trembling.\n\n“T-T-That wasn’t my brrrightest idea….” growled the bear as he stood up stumbling a bit.\n\n“Looks like you thought that was going to work again” laughed Novak as he fired a powerful beam from his chest right towards the bear making him flinch and fall with the back flat.\n\n“T-This is not possible!” growled the ursine as he tried to move the armor but it was malfunctioning. Messages of ‘error’ displayed everywhere inside the matrix of the armor and he couldn’t even move a finger. The mix of the impact with the beam was too much.\n\n“I win, I guess” smiled Novak as he rubbed his body in pain looking at The Zar. Charlie had finished with a large number of ghouls but was hurt too.\n\nThe lions got close and looked at the bear, which was unable to move. They both aimed at him and shoot several mini droids that attached to the armor and carried it to the helicarrier so he could be imprisoned. The Zar yelled and struggled but unable to make the armor react, not even to take it off. Novak smiled and looked at Charlie who smacked the back of his head.\n\n“That is for not telling me you added weapons to the armor” said the lion opening the mask of his armor just like Novak.\n\n“What?! But I…” started Novak opening the mask too, ready to argue, but he was silenced with a kiss.\n\n“And that…” continued Charlie when he broke the kiss “Is for adding weapons to the armor and saving my ass.”\n\n“Wow… I could get used to that hehe” Novak grinned and then both closed the masks again noticing the ghouls gathering. They still had job to do.\n\n--- o ---\n\nThe horde increased as Heiban shoot at the ghouls and Lenna followed the example. For an instant they thought Dread Skull would fight against them but he remained there, looking at the with a smirk in the face, of course, preventing them from moving and helping the others. Some shoots from Heiban’s gun proved that the ghouls would protect the Nazi wolf and it wasn’t effective to try a distant attack.\n\n“Darn, the old wolf is getting shielded by these things” grunted Heiban shooting again against the large pack that had surrounded them.\n\n“At least he’s not making things harder” said Lenna shooting again and making burst the head of a ghoul “Where do these things come from?! There are millions!”\n\n“Theze are a gift from other dimenzionz” smirked Dread Wolf “Lich King vent and turned many, many vorld’z inhabitantz into ghoulz fer zhiz ordeal.”\n\n“Well that explains it” growled Heiban using his aura to spin the shield like a saw and cut the ghouls, though he felt bad doing it now that he knew those were the living beings of some other dimension.\n\n“We have no time to be playing this kind of games” roared Lenna “Captain, you get Dread Skull, I take care of the ghouls!”\n\nHeiban nodded and ran against Dread Skull dodging and shooting ghouls in the way. One managed to scratch him but only ripped the clothes, not his flesh. Dread Skull on the other hand noticed it was time for him to settle things up with Captain Fur once and for all. He grinned.\n\n“Vell my dear Captain, ve meet in combat once more” politely said the wolf as he walked to Heiban.\n\n“Dear nothing!” growled Heiban “I’ll make you pay once and for all and throw you into a cell from which you’ll never see the light of day ever again!”\n\n“Yez! Zhat’z ze zpirit! Be mad at me! Ve know zhat it vill only make you vulnerable to me” laughed Dread Skull as he drawed his gun and started to shoot.\n\n“We’ll see about that!” said Heiban as he shielded against the bullets “Long ago I stopped hating you for what you did to Sacret. I only do this for justice not vengeance!”\n\n“Ve’ll zee about zhat” grinned Dread Skull as he finally stopped shooting and began to ran.\n\nHeiban saw his foe running towards him and rushed his way too managing to dodge the few ghouls Lenna couldn’t take down with shoots. Nevertheless, the first impact came from Skull with a sudden burst of speed that made Heiban roll back. The whusky rolled and stood up looking at Dread Skull, surprised and angered while he charged to attack again.\n\nWith fast speed, the German nearly caught up with the American but Heiban managed to use his aura tentacles to make Skull trip and fall.\n\n“How you like the taste of asphalt?” asked Heiban mocking and in response the street at his feet started to bubble “W-what the…?!”\n\n“Huh? Vhat are yu doing Captain?” asked Dread Skull standing up as Heiban’s legs began to get covered by liquid asphalt.\n\n“What are YOU doing cheater?!” roared the whusky smacking his shield against the bounds as they reached and stopped by his knees “Damn it! Lenna!”\n\n“I’m busy here!” yelled Black Widow as she dodged another ghoul and a stone hit her on the side “Damn it! who’s been throwing these?!”\n\nHeiban looked at her swiftly and saw the vixen dodging ghouls, shooting at them and blocking, dodging and being hit by stones that seemed to come from nowhere. Captain Fur panted a bit and made his aura cover the edges of his shield. Dread Skull was now running to him ready to crush him.\n\n“I’m not letting you win!” roared Heiban slicing the asphalt with the edged aura infused shield managing to break it.\n\n“Ve’ll end this Captain! HERE AND NOW!” roared Dread Skull.\n\nThe German wolf rocketed his fist to the whusky’s face but the younger fur managed to dodge rolling on the ground. Nevertheless, the asphalt again began to bubble and he had to keep dodging. So he wouldn’t be stuck again.\n\nDread Skull continued attacking and Heiban dodged and blocked jumping from side to side so the asphalt stayed away from him. He didn’t know how Dread Skull was doing it, but he was sure it was HIM doing it.\n\nCaptain Fur was taken out of his thoughts with a powerful punch on the left cheek that sent him against a ghoul. The thing opened the jaws and its putrid breathe slammed Heiban’s face making him gag.\n\n“Darn!” grunted Heiban struggling with the ghoul.\n\n“Zhiz iz good bye Captain” smiled Dread Skull aiming at Heiban and shooting.\n\n“ACK!” roared the whusky pushing away the ghoul and slicing it with his aura. The bullet had missed and impacted him on the right hip. He turned around and saw Dread Skull stumbling a bit and Lenna crouched on the street panting and bleeding. She had kicked the wolf right in the head.\n\n“Yu vretched vermin!” roared Dread Skull and aimed at Lenna but his gun flew away as Captain’s shield hit his wrist breaking it “Gyah! Yu pathetic excuze of a hero!”\n\n“If I’m a pathetic excuse of a hero what would that make you?” asked Heiban standing up and walking to Dread skull with difficulty due to the wound.\n\nThe whusky reached the still flinched wolf and readied a punch. Heiban punched Dread Skull with such strength that the wolf rolled on the ground but still conscious.\n\n“Zhat… vill not ztop me!” barked the German aiming with a shaking left hand to Lenna.\n\n“You think you can shoot with that hand?” smiled Lenna “Or at least…” she aimed at him with her bracelets.\n\nFor an instant Dread Skull seamed to doubt but then he pulled the trigger missing miserably his shoot and killing a ghoul. Lenna smirked and shoot with her bracelets several paralyzing charges that impacted the wolf making him contort and scream falling finally on the floor with convulsions and spitting foam from the muzzle.\n\n“Guess we get to take him to the helicarrier” sighed Heiban holding his hip.\n\n“I’ll take you both” sighed Lenna pressing a button on her bracelet and then resuming shooting at the ghouls “Help me a bit with this while our transport comes ok?”\n\n“My pleasure” nodded Heiban as he aimed at the ghouls and resumed the slaughter of the creatures.\n\n--- o ---\n\nWhile all the others were fighting their respective nemesis, Draco, Dave and Keene found themselves fighting against two, Tyr and the new villainess called Wisp. Much to Draco’s annoyance, the tigress was an expert using fire that, though didn’t hurt him at all, did managed to heat his and Dave’s armor. Keene was lucky to have a cooler device in his… but besides that, the trio had to be dodging the incoming beams from Tyr and also fight back the horde. Tsuki seemed to be easily driven on the heat of battle managing to use his magic against the ghouls defeating some with large blasts of power.\n\n“Looks like you got a fine slave there” grinned Tyr.\n\n“Tsuki’s not slave!” growled the dewott as he threw a powerful water spell to Tyr who dodged it.\n\n“Stop mocking him you bastard! Your fight is with me!” growled Draco as he ran to the other Asgardian “Dave, Keene, take care of Wisp, Tsuki, ghouls!”\n\n“Right away!” yelled Dave as he ran to Wisp.\n\n“Wow, mom gets really worked up when it comes to Tyr” gulped Keene flying up and firing repulsor beams at Wisp who dodged them easily.\n\n“As ordered master!” nodded Tsuki continuing his magical barrage against the ghouls managing to annihilate many.\n\nKeene fired again as Dave shoot electric arrows managing to make a bullseye on the dodgy tigress right on the shin. But for some reason, she grinned… and then the tigress turned into fire disappearing.\n\n“Were are you aiming at?” asked Wisp from behind Dave manging to land a powerful roundhouse kick on his side sending him flying.\n\n“Hey! Stop hurting my dad!” yelled Keene diving towards Wisp and tackling her only to find out that one was a fire clone too.\n\n“Impulsive kid” laughed the tigress “I can use some ninja arts that you’d find outstanding”\n\n“Ninja my balls” roared Keene and rushed to Wisp managing to land a punch on the real one.\n\n“Ack! You prick!” roared Wisp and grinned firing flamethrowers at Keene who blocked them with his energy shields “That won’t do.”\n\nThe flames went right through the shields and heated Keene’s armor that immediately activated the cooling system. Dave took the chance and managed to make a scissor kick making Wisp fall to the floor face first. He looked briefly at Draco noticing he was on equal ground than Tyr on the battle. And soon he heard something that he was waiting to hear from a bit ago.\n\n“Oh looks like the party just started” laughed Duncan as he ran at them shooting at the ghouls that were in the way “And I see you trained well the dewott I gave to Fury.”\n\n“Yeah, thanks but focus on the battle!” shouted Dave as the jackal, the dog and the fennec reached them.\n\n“Sure we will” smiled Tuff as he aimed with a 9 mm at Wisp and firing some energy bullets that made her flinch.\n\nCharade rushed his way and started to help Tsuki with the ghouls. Wisp growled and began to attack Duncan and Tuff with fireballs as Dave and Keene reunited with Tsuki.\n\n“Tsuki we have to aid Draco” said the folf as the dewott looked back and nodded.\n\n“Yes Master Dave!” smiled Tsuki leaving a final spell on the ghouls slowing them as he ran to the other two and rushed his way to Draco.\n\n“I’ll show mom that I can beat him for sure” grinned Keene “I bet I can!” he accelerated.\n\n“Keene no!” roared Dave as he ran.\n\n“Looks like it’s only us now” smiled Duncan aiming at Wisp and shooting.\n\n“Like we were in England” grinned Wisp shooting at the jackal too.\n\nTuff and Duncan fired at Wisp while she defended blocking the bullets with fire or managing to dodge them surprisingly. Meanwhile Charade had focused on the ghouls until his head began to feel dizzy and heard a voice calling his name and remembering him all he did… how much he enjoyed it. The fennec shook the head and looked at Wisp fighting against Duncan and Tuff… he attacked some ghouls more and the voice increased the volume, getting louder and louder.\n\n“Damn it stop!” roared Charade noticing that for sure it was Lich King trying to turn him evil again.\n\n“Why? I’m only stating a fact… you loved it… to torture and humiliate those poor guys and girls… you enjoyed it for real.”\n\n“It was the only thing I knew back then…” growled Charade as he soon noticed a ghoul had grabbed him by the shoulders “Darn! Get back!” he kicked and tossed ice at the ghoul stabbing its head.\n\n“Really? Is that so? Well, I think you’re wrong… I know you better because I can see what’s in your soul. And that desire never faded.”\n\n“Ngh… i-it did long ago” growled Charade not able to notice anymore his surroundings.\n\n“Nigel what the hell are you doing?” roared Tuff as he moved to shoot at the ghouls that had surrounded him; leaving Duncan fighting alone with Wisp and already wounded with the fire, though it was not that much of a damage.\n\n“Tuff get away!” roared Charade struggling even to say that.\n\n“No… call him… do to him what you enjoyed that much” \n\nCharade looked at tuff and tried to shake his head… his old desires beginning to surface again. But he tried to fight back with all his heart and mind. And soon, the wall of a building expanded and concealed Tuff’s hands and guns surprising the dog, who yipped and bounced back shaking the arms.\n\n“W-what is this?!” shouted Tuff worried noticing he had run into a ghoul infested area and now he had no means to defend. He looked back and noticed Duncan having a hard time with Wisp since he had to fight ghouls back too.\n\nThe dog tried to backtrack and help Duncan, but Charade was in troubles too and also he was getting surrounded. He decided his husband should go first since Charade himself had told him to go away. But in the moment he turned, the asphalt covered his paws blocking him completely and locking him in his place as the ghouls approached dangerously at him.\n\n“Look... look at him die”\n\n“H-how you did that?” asked surprised Charade “t-the bricks… and the asphalt…”\n\n“I didn’t… but whoever did it, made me a great favor.”\n\n“N-No…” Charade shook his head “NO I WON’T LET YOU!”\n\nThe fennec ran to Tuff and started to shoot at him with steel-hard ice pike that began to destroy the asphalt and concrete that had him sealed as the ghouls approached to him. Tuff closed the eyes expecting Charade’s betrayal but soon he found himself free and gasped.\n\n“Go help Duncan!” shouted Charade creating a wind spell that lifted Tuff and threw him over the air to where Duncan was.\n\n“NIGEL! BEHIND YOU!” shouted Tuff aiming at the ghoul but the turbulence of his improvised flight prevented him from a clear shoot.\n\n“I know…” murmured the fennec as he felt the rotten fangs sinking in his flesh and then another set on his arm.\n\n“NIGEL!”roared Tuff with tears in the eyes as he looked at Duncan seeing he hadn’t noticed a couple of ghouls behind him “NOOOO!”\n\nTuff shoot at them and Duncan gasped feeling the bullets so close of him. He looked at Tuff and caught him midair.\n\n“Thanks love…” said the jackal.\n\n“D-Duncan…” sniffled Tuff.\n\n“What? What happened? Are you crying for real?!” asked Duncan surprised.\n\n“Nigel…” managed to say Tuff the moment the duo stepped on the roof of a building.\n\nDuncan looked at where Charade was… and saw the reason Tuff was crying. The fennec was dead by now, devoured viciously and only parts of him were seeable amongst the horde of ghouls. The jackal gritted his teeth and snarled.\n\n“He saved me…”\n\n“I won’t let that go to a waste” growled Duncan, that despite the wounds stood up and aimed at Wisp “I’ll drag you to my circus again!”\n\n“I escaped once! What make you think I won’t do it again?” laughed the tigress.\n\n“The simple fact that… it was I who let YOU go” stated Duncan as he fired again the energy bullets repeatedly at Wisp managing to land almost every single impact. Tuff added his owns and the tigress fell on her knees gasping and panting. The ghouls getting close to protect her, but it was too late since she could barely feel her body.\n\nDuncan and Tuff jumped down the building and aimed at the ghouls managing to kill many as they approached Wisp. The tigress was growling and looking at them.\n\n“I’ll never forgive you or your puppet master for what you’ve done” growled Duncan and aimed with his cane at Wisp. A set of ropes wrapped her arms and legs and then he smacked the cane on the ground and the tigress was sucked into the cane and into a cage back in England.\n\nTuff looked at the ghouls with bloody faces and stopped crying. It was not time to cry… they at least owned Nigel the assassination of his murderers.\n\n“Do you have a communicator to speak to the others?” asked Duncan and Tuff gave him one “Guys… Wisp is defeated… but we lost Nigel.”\n\n--- o ---\n\nKeene flew passing Dave swiftly and managed to tackle Tyr away from his mom. Draco gasped in surprise as he stopped the slash that would have killed his son.\n\n“Hehe, piece of cake, mom” smiled Keene “Let me fight him, I know I can defeat him”\n\n“Keene is too dangerous” reproached Draco as he stood in the way of him going to Tyr.\n\n“W-what?! Mom we’ve faced worse enemies!” argued Keene as he growled “I CAN do it! I know!”\n\n“Keene I prohibit you from fighting Tyr!” roared Draco he’s out of your league! Not even I am enough to defeat him now! We’re just even!”\n\n“That’s what you think!” roared Tyr as he smacked Draco on the back. The wolgon tripped and rowled.\n\n“You wretched little vermin!” roared the wolgon and Tyr smacked his face.\n\n“I’ll show you I can! I’m not a little boy anymore Draco! And you’re not my real father nor real mother! You cannot tell me what to do or not!” yelled Keene angry as he took the fight on his hands and slammed against Tyr pushing him away and then dragging him to the air punching his face.\n\n“W-what?!” gasped Draco feeling his heart hurt with Keene’s words.\n\nTyr laughed with the punches, those weren’t even compared to Draco’s strength. But Keene managed to do many more punches than Draco, and that annoyed him.\n\n“Stop playing adult games kid!” roared Tyr as he kicked Keene away and started to fall stopping in midway only to soar a bit surprised by that “well, looks like the boney face wants me to fight you anyways”\n\n“Whatever!” shouted Keene as he aimed and fired at Tyr with lasers.\n\nThe snow leopard blocked the attacks with his armor and rushed his way towards Keene holding him tight by the neck of his armor surprising the rabbit.\n\n“I’ll kill you first… and then I’ll kill those who adopted you” grinned Tyr.\n\nKeene gasped when he felt the first punch in his gut. So powerful that the impacts passed through the reinforced armor. One punch, another punch, a knee stinging his sides, another shaking his head. Keene yelled at the pain, he thought on his mom and what he told to him. He cried in silence and soon he felt a powerful punch that turned his lights off.\n\n“No… NO! NO!” cried Draco as Keene fell cold on his back from six meters above the ground. Novak gasped hearing inside his helmet the continuous beep coming from the vital support of Keene… was… the kid dead?! N-no… no it couldn’t be…\n\n“Hahahaha! So much for the son of a faggot!” laughed Tyr cracking his knuckles and kicking Keene’s body that rolled to where Draco was standing over the corpses of some ghouls Lich King had summoned.\n\nThe wolgon ran with Dave who was close by to where Keene was and Tsuki who had been fighting some ghouls with his scythe. Keene was immobile like a stone… Novak yelled at them that the vitals were on zero but… that it had to be a problem with the armor.\n\n“No son please NO!” cried Draco kneeling by Keene’s side and pulling the metal of the armor destroying it\n\n“Darling… you’ll hurt him…” said Dave still unable to understand his son could be dead.\n\nAnd then, they opened finally the armor and… Keene wasn’t breathing and there was blood coming out of his mouth.\n\n“N-no…” Draco started to cry even more as Tyr delighted in such scene.\n\n“Ohh! Please cry more Nidhoggson… your pitiful and pathetic suffering is my enjoyment!\n\n“SHUT UP!” roared Dave running towards Tyr.\n\n“STOP MOCKING MASTER!” yelled Tsuki rushing next to Dave towards Tyr.\n\nBoth reached him and Tyr started to kick and punch at them while they blocked the attacks. Tsuki wielded the scythe summoning branches that appeared out of nowhere hitting Tyr making him lose balance. \n\n“I’ll kill you two too!” roared Tyr with a maniacal laughter as he fired beams from his robotic hand “Just like I killed the bunny.”\n\n“NO! I’ll protect the memory of Master Keene!” cried Tsuki.\n\n“I won’t forgive you what you’ve done to my son!” cried too Dave as both fought Tyr landing several hits on the ex Aesir.\n\n--- o ---\n\n“Please darling…” groaned Draco as he cried over Keene “Don’t leave us… please… I should have gone first… not you…”\n\nDraco cried and then remembered the CPR he had to learn for the club. He started to pump on Keene’s chest and giving him artificial breathing. One, two, three pumping, he leaned and breathed directly inside Keene’s muzzle kissing his son and staining his fur in blood.\n\n“Don’t do this to me!” roared Draco as he continued the CPR.\n\nPump after pump he tried and tried but nothing happened… then he decided it was worth the try and charged tiny sparks in his fingers.\n\n“I-I’m sorry darling…” begged Draco and placed his fingers over Keene’s chest making him bounce as the static natural defibrillation worked. Draco had used the lowest level of power for that. He tried again and again until…\n\n“AHHH!” Keene screamed standing slightly as he gasped for air opening the eyes and then falling back to the floor breathing heavily.\n\n“Y-you’re alive… cried Draco holding Keene “YOU’RE ALIVE!”\n\n“Mom… it hurts…” whined Keene feeling Draco’s tears wet his fur. He was crying too. He had nearly died for disobeying his mom… And that mean thing he said… He cried because he loved them too much… and he nearly lost his life in a spontaneous act of rebellion “I’m… sorry…”\n\n“It doesn’t matter” cried Draco… It really doesn’t matter my love” the wolgon snuggled his son and then let him rest on the floor. “DAVE! TSUKI!”\n\nBoth alluded turned around as Keene still had problems breathing. Dave ran with Tsuki leaving Tyr grimacing looking at Keene alive. Draco stood up and Dave held Keene’s hand supporting his head to allow him an easier way to breath.\n\n“We’re here son…” smiled Dave with tears flowing from his eyes.\n\n“I’m gonna take care of that piece of shit once and for all” said Draco walking to Tyr.\n\n“Ohhh you gonna fight me?” grinned Tyr “Then why don’t we do this in a more suiting place?”\n\nTyr opened a portal and he ran inside. Draco thought nothing else before leaping and jump inside the vortex too.\n\n“MASTER!” shouted Tsuki unable to decide whether to remain with Dave and Keene or aid his master.\n\n“Go Tsuki!” ordered Dave “Protect Draco”\n\n“Yes master Dave!” nodded Tsuki leaping to the portal and entering too.\n\n--- o ---\n\nDraco stood in the perfect and neat floor of the great hall at Asgard’s Palace. Tsuki landed next to him surprised at the place looking around overwhelmed by the drastic change and the inorganic look of the palace. He braced to Draco’s leg a bit scared, especially by the many other people around there looking at them, some surprised, some angered. It had been a banquet that was now ruined.\n\n“WHY do I have this intromission in my great hall?!” yelled a large armored old male looking from above.\n\n“All father!” shouted Draco as Tyr ambushed at him from behind “ACK!”\n\n“Draco!” shouted Thor and Syf looking at the snow leopard smacking the wolgon down.\n\n“I’ll take that” said Tyr rushing to Odin and making a sneak attack on him punching the old dragon taking Gungnir out of his hands. Frigga held the all father and both fell to the ground. While some Aesir rushed to their aid, Thor and Syf rushed towards Tyr but the snow leopard repelled them with a powerful shoot of his mechanic hand “time to finish this once and for all!”\n\n“I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way” said Draco standing on swordsman position and gripping tight Gram “Only one will go out of this alive”\n\n“And it won’t be you” said Tyr as he smashed the pommel of the lance on the ground making a force field that pushed Tsuki away and prevented anyone to go inside.\n\n“MASTER DRACO!” yelled Tsuki immediately starting to slash at the force field with his scythe.\n\n“I’ll be fine” nodded the wolgon as he readied Gram “Shall we Tyr?”\n\nWithout hesitation Draco and Tyr ran at each other clashing the steel of Gram and Gungnir against each other making sparks fly to the air. Tyr moved swiftly and kicked on Draco’s knee, though the protector of the wolgon’s armor prevented further damage. The wolgon took the chance and landed a punch on Tyr’s face.\n\n“Good one…” mocked the snow leopard “I’ll make sure you pay for it…”\n\n“You won’t be able once I behead you” growled Draco as he pushed Gram leaping back after that leaving a considerable distance between him and Tyr.\n\nAfter a second, Draco and Tyr were walking in circles looking and measuring the other, ready to kill. Draco snarled as he lit fire on Gram and Tyr managed to channelize electricity on Gungnir. Normally electrical attacks wouldn’t hurt Draco… but Gungnir was a different story.\n\nWithout a moment to think, Tyr shot the charge and Draco was shocked yelling as he tried to move from the momentarily paralysis he was in, but Tyr was faster and made a blunt hit on Draco’s ribs forcing the wolgon to fall back.\n\n“Master!!” yelled Tsuki still trying to break the barrier.\n\n“I’ll be fine!” roared Draco as he slashed at Tyr preventing a lethal blow to his neck.\n\nThe wolgon stood up like a spring and jumped over Tyr managing to slash at his armor’s back cutting it and revealing the strong back and chest of the snow leopard.\n\n“H-how in the darkness of Helheim?!” shouted Tyr surprised and turning around slashing at Draco with Gungnir.\n\nThe edge managed to scratch without a mark the armor of the wolgon as he smirked knowing the alloy of Uru and Sionia had made his armor nearly indestructible. Only Satan once destroyed it… but Famine reconstructed it again. Draco stopped thinking on that and returned the focus on Tyr trying to make major damage to him once he was stripped from his upper armor, though his arms, legs and paws were still protected. Tyr on the other hand started to stab at Draco with lance stockades. The wolgon dodged preventing most of the damage but his body was cut by Gungnir’s edge. And the wounds actually burned since Gungnir was a holy weapon.\n\nDraco ignored the pain and continued clashing steel against steel with Tyr managing to cut several parts of his body while Tsuki and the other Asgardians tried to smash down the force field. Even Thor wasn’t able to do it with Mjölnir.\n\n“They won’t come to help you little brat…” mocked Tyr.\n\n“I don’t need their help!” yelled Draco as he slashed at Tyr cutting his chest making some blood to fall to the floor.\n\n“NGH!” Tyr flinched and held the wound. It wasn’t a severe wound but it would cost him the battle if he didn’t finish it fast… the bleeding wasn’t stopping.\n\n“Looks like I’m winning” grinned Draco as he continued the attack cutting more on Tyr as the ex Aesir landed his own pack of attacks on the wolgon cutting him and making him even lose balance from time to time.\n\n“And looks like you’re getting tired” laughed Tyr as he panted, already getting tired too.\n\n“Say good night old man” smiled Draco as he slashed at Tyr’s head, but the snow leopard managed to block the attack.\n\n“That goes rather for you!” roared Tyr and stabbed Draco’s stomach.\n\n“Gk…” the wolgon stumbled back surprised as he felt the stinging pain in his flesh.\n\n“NO MASTER!” roared Tsuki hitting harder on the barrier.\n\n“I’m fine!” grunted Draco slashing at Tyr making him leap back pulling Gungnir out of him “I’ll… finish him now!”\n\nDraco rushed at Tyr as some more blood spilled over the floor, now coming from the deep wound he had. Fortunately, he moved a bit dodging lethal damage… but the wound would prove to be quite the handicap. Tyr gasped for air as Draco rushed his way to him slashing again and again. The ex Aesir managed to block the blows but soon, one broke his defense and the slash cut his face deeply as he roared.\n\n“I won’t forgive you that!” roared Tyr making a diagonal slash that Draco was unable to block. The edge cut from his forehead to his right cheek… cutting right through his face and right eye making it burst.\n\n“AAAAHHHHHHHHH!” Draco yelled and fell to the floor holding the massively bleeding wound as the liquefied eye dripped between his fingers “M-MY EYE!!”\n\n“NO MASTER DRACO!” screamed Tsuki managing to burst open briefly the barrier and squeeze inside rushing towards Tyr while Draco still was lying on the floor holding his face. Tyr was reading a cup de grace but was interrupted as Tsuki tackled him making him flinch “I WON’T FORGIVE YOU!!! YOU DARED TO HURT MASTER’S BEAUTIFUL EYES!”\n\nTsuki roared nearly spilling foam from the mouth out in anger as he started to cast spells of ice that pierced Tyr’s defenses easily. The snow leopard grunted as the ice pierced his flesh. And soon, Tsuki leaped forwards slashing at Tyr’s chest opening a new wound, deeper this time that he held with an arm. The young little dewott was furious and continued attacking, though Tyr now defended himself swiftly blocking most of the attacks. Yet he couldn’t prevent to feel the pressure on the chest with both wounds. He leaped backwards and panted looking at Tsuki.\n\n“Once I’m done, you’ll look nice dissected on my own private collection!” roared Tyr slashing back at Tsuki who dodged swiftly.\n\n“I’m better than what you think!” roared Tsuki slashing back at Tyr “I have a better idea… HERMIT!” \n\nA wind barrier covered Tsuki as he attacked Tyr now not caring for defending with the scythe. The slashes of the lance didn’t even reached him as the wind barrier protected him and shone every time a new slash came in. Soon Tyr was tired and tried to fire a beam at him, but it also got absorbed.\n\n“I-It’s not possible…” grunted the ex Aesir.\n\n“And is not even the best part!” roared Tsuki as he jumped forwards and the barrier disappeared “AEON!” \n\nTsuki extended his hand and a powerful windblast impacted Tyr freezing parts of his armor. The snow leopard shook his body to prevent the freezing power but soon his feet were stuck on the floor. Tsuki then smirked and stood in front of him readying another spell.\n\n“This is for master’s eye! THE WORLD!” yelled Tsuki as a powerful water cannon shoot at Tyr landing on him making him fall to the floor with the armor defrosted and his body twitching in pain as he had been poisoned.\n\n“T-this is… not…” started Tyr but Tsuki was already close to him with the scythe upwards. Tyr noticed he let Gungnir go. That was going to be his end if he didn’t thought on something.\n\n“Memento Mori…” murmured Tsuki as he slashed right at Tyr’s neck but steel clashed against the scythe and he gasped in surprise “M-M-MASTER?!”\n\n“Tsuki…” grunted Draco having blocked the final slash of Tsuki with Gram, not covering anymore his face with the hand, only closing the eyelids around the now empty socket “This… is my fight and I will finish it”\n\nTsuki looked in surprise and a mixture of worry and anger at Draco. Why was him doing that? He was about to give the final blow… but then again, he was his master and he would never disobey him.\n\n“Yes master…” nodded Tsuki and retreated to the edge of the field created by Tyr.\n\nDraco walked to Gungnir and to the surprise of Tsuki and the other Asgardians he kicked it to Tyr. The snow leopard gasped in surprise and gripped it.\n\n“This ends now…” sighed Draco resuming his stance.\n\n“I wouldn’t want it any other way” grinned Tyr still suffering from the poisoning.\n\nDraco leaped towards Tyr and slashed at him, but was blocked by the edge of Gungnir as Gram vibrated in his hands. The wolgon was now really weak… his body ached like hell. But he ignored it and continued the battle. Clash after clash the sparks continued filling the air and the wolgon and snow leopard refused to give up an inch of space to the foe. Tsuki looked at them… and also at the blood falling to the floor. He was worried sick about his master… but he knew Draco would be fine if he said he’d finish the fight… he… wanted to believe it.\n\n“I’m worried… that Keene might have to grow up without his mother” smiled Draco slashing at Tyr.\n\n“Don’t worry… he’ll go with you soon after I kill you” laughed Tyr between his panting as he blocked and attacked back.\n\nDraco continued the battle knowing that… even if he defeated Tyr… he’d die by his wounds. The stomach and his face nearly cut in half… he was badly damaged… he wasn’t going to survive after all… Draco smiled at that thought and pushed Tyr back managing to open a good space breach between the two.\n\n“It’s your time to die!!!” roared Tyr as he rushed at Draco.\n\n“I’m not going to die by your hands!” roared Draco back as he rushed his way towards Tyr and clashed his steel with the snow leopard’s sending several sparks to the air. \n\nThe Aesirs and Vanirs present there tried with all their might to break the barrier… they didn’t know how Tsuki was able to pierce it but if the dewott could… they could too. Nevertheless their tries ended in failure again and again. Odin was even tired due to the surprising attack.\n\nDraco looked briefly at them and dedicated a smile at Thor like telling him everything would be ok while he was fighting Tyr fiercely. The snow leopard took the chance of the distraction and slashed at Draco, but the wolgon blocked kicking his gut afterwards opening another breach between the two of them. Tyr looked at it and readied once more Gungnir while Draco readied Gram. That was going to be the last stand… the final attack…\n\n“I’m gonna kill you!” roared Tyr leaping forwards and running with the lance ready to kill the wolgon.\n\n“You’re gonna fall Tyr!” barked Draco leaping forwards and running to Tyr while Thor, Syf and even Frey and Freya smacked the barrier in worry for the hero wolgon.\n\nDraco and Tyr ran towards the other yelling a battle cry and the sudden movement of their weapons wasn’t even seeable. The wolgon and snow leopard ended up several meters away from the other on the oppose direction, both weapons extended to the front and with blood on them. The Aesir and Vanir looked surprised at that… Tsuki held his breath covering his mouth in angst… and then… Draco’s exposed clothes burst into pieces as blood spilled from his body and he collapsed. Tsuki screamed his master’s name and ran to him… and surprisingly the barrier disappeared. Thor and Freya ran to Draco while Syf and Frey focused on attacking Tyr… but…\n\n“You… did… good…beast…” murmured Tyr and his head rolled to the floor while his body collapsed to his knees and then to a side.\n\nDraco felt the soft touch of someone treating him. His wounds were disappearing? What happened? He tried to open the eyes but realized he wasn’t able to see completely, the right side of his seeing area was blacked out. Then it hit him… he had lost the eye.\n\n“Master?” asked Tsuki rubbing Draco’s arms as four furs, three female wolves and Freya, a beautiful white tiger, were chanting something and curing his wounds.\n\n“I’m here…” grunted Draco.\n\n“The little one was about to rip his eye to put it on you Draco” said Odin as he walked helped by Frigga “but I stopped him on time.”\n\n“Yes… old bearded dragon said he could clone my eye for you” giggled Tsuki as he pointed at his blue eye “but he said…”\n\n“It will take a time for the eye to be there… at least some months… it could be a year even…”\n\n“It will be fine” said Draco as he tried to stand up.\n\n“Relax son of Nidhogg… you need to rest” said Verdandi as she pushed him gently back to Freya’s held.\n\n“I can’t… there’s people in Midgard that requires my help…” said Draco struggling a bit.\n\n“Fine… you can go… his wounds are finally healed, aren’t them?” asked Thor looking at Odin.\n\n“Yes they are” nodded Urd looking at the young wolgon.\n\n“But he must rest for a bit or they will open again and we won’t be in Midgard to heal him” finalized Skuld.\n\n“I’m a hero… that’s my duty” said Draco standing up and stumbling a bit “I must go…”\n\n“Master… b-before we go…” started Tsuki fidgeting his fingers “big old bearded dragon said your eye won’t be ready for a long time… so… I made this for you” Tsuki extended his tiny little paws and in there Draco found a patch to cover his eye, a beautiful one, not circular but with a nice design to cover the eye socket “T-that way you won’t need to be closing the eyelids all the time.”\n\n“Thanks lovely Tsuki” smiled Draco as he took the patch and covered the empty eye socket with it “Time to go with the others…”\n\n“I guess you wanna keep a trophy for your victory” said Thor throwing at Draco the nearly destroyed hand of Tyr.\n\n“Thanks uncle” bowed Draco as Heimdall opened a portal together with Odin.\n\n“This portal will take you ten minutes after you departed hours ago” said Heimdall.\n\n“HOURS?!” shouted Draco worried.\n\n“Yes… now go and save your loved ones… fight by their side and never falter boy” ordered Odin “Neither you, little blue furred creature.”\n\n“I won’t” nodded Tsuki as he stood by Draco’s side.\n\nBoth Tsuki and Draco entered the portal and stood in front of Dave and Keene who had recovered a bit. Draco smiled looking back as the portal closed.\n\n“W-what happened?!” asked Dave looking at Draco’s wounds, ripped clothing and the hand he was holding… but his eyes fixed on the eye patch he had on the face “D-Darling…”\n\n“I faced Tyr…” smiled sadly Draco as he threw the hand to Dave “He’s dead…”\n\n“But… mom… your face…” gasped Keene and Tsuki looked down and away a bit.\n\n“I… lost the eye…” sighed Draco “B-but I’ll be fine! In some months Odin will have a new one for me…”\n\n“Y-yes… I offered mine so Odin said he’d clone it for Master Draco” completed Tsuki.\n\nKeene looked about to cry but Dave put his hand on the rabbit’s back. They had to go help the others… it was about time to join back the fight, even if only ten minutes had passed, and face the biggest enemy they may have faced since Satan showed up.\n\n--- o ---\n\nWith a subtle smirk Lich King noticed each of his generals had been defeated… Tyr even managed to get killed by Draco. The beast chuckled at that. Certainly should be time for him to appear and make them all shiver to their bones. And of course, it wasn’t for more since he had already managed to convert many people into ghouls in that world. The whole divide and conquer had worked well, while the ghouls of the other worlds attacked and the “villains” fought off the heroes, he had managed to increase the ranks with the people of several places… all the dead people of course. He hadn’t attacked living beings just yet. He wanted to do it once there was no hope for them, when he exposed the corpses and heads of their beloved heroes.\n\n“Looks like it’s time” said to himself Lich King as he walked on the dark and moist hallway of his hideout, followed by the ghouls of ancient times of that world. He grinned “We’ll see what you’re capable to do now… HEROES.”\n\nAs he approached the light at the end of the tunnel, a portal opened to allow him to enter and he walked out, looking at the piles of corpses that were ghouls till some minutes ago. The heroes worked fast certainly. And even they were already gathered there, in front of his gate waiting for his arrival. Worthy of the new King of that soon to be barren land.\n\n“I see you arranged a welcome committee” smirked Lich King as he opened wider the portal allowing them to look at the ghouls ready to attack the already tired and wounded heroes.\n\n“Looks like you think too big of yourself” growled Duncan.\n\n“Oh, I sense… yes…” Lich King smiled nearly to a grin showing all his boney fangs and he snapped the fingers. Soon they heard something… behind them, what remained of Charade stood up and looked at them with empty sockets and tiny lights for eyes.\n\n“W-what?!” gasped Novak “B-But… no…”\n\n“Yes, I sensed a dead one here, I missed him since I was making this new little army” smiled Lich King as Charade dragged its feet till he joined the group looking at the heroes… and to Draco’s dismay, the ghoul next to him looked like…\n\n“R-Richard?” asked Draco unable to believe what his eyes were seeing.\n\n“Oh! Yes, you recognize him” grinned Lich King “How will you feel having to kill him again, demon?”\n\n“I’M NOT A DEMON!” roared Draco utterly furious “How dared you to do that to Richard?!”\n\n“I just woke him up” laughed the dracolich “Now… if you excuse me… I have some slaughter to watch.”\n\nThe Lich King jumped and hiked a church resting on his feral form on the roof, leaning on a side like a Roman Emperor. The ghouls slowly started to drag their feet at them. Draco gave a step back just like Duncan but then they returned to their places.\n\n“Guess we have no other choice…” said Tuff looking at Charade and aiming at him.\n\n“There is another” said Keene looking at Lich King who was now resting his huge head over a large paw “We kill HIM… if we managed it… I bet his magic will wore off.”\n\n“Sounds like a plan” nodded Charlie getting ready as a frigid air froze both Richard and Charade’s ghouls “Well thought Eddy!”\n\n“Why when something freezes everyone thinks it’s me?!” shouted the raccoon as the whole group rushed their way to Lich King.\n\nThey hurried and Lich King straightened up a bit looking at that. Were they really trying to go on him before taking care of the ghouls? That was new… the heroes he crushed before would kill the ghouls first and that would leave them badly wounded and being easy preys… though the rabbit was right, if something would happen to him, the Ghouls would be no more.\n\n“Intelligent, I must admit” chuckled Lich King as he coiled around the roof and then descended looking at them, moving his body like a snake ready to attack “Well, well, it seems you’ll let the ghouls run rampant!”\n\n“We’ll take care of you before they get too far” stated Novak.\n\n“We’ll see about that, we’ll see if you’re even able to stand a chance against me!” laughed Lich King as he got ready for the fight, his size, gigantic compared to the heroes, supposed to him an advantage.\n\nThe dracolich slashed with his powerful claw forcing the heroes to spread again and move to different sides of him. Not that he cared at all about that. He had more than ghouls under the paw. Draco ran to him followed by Dave as they both readied blows with their swords. Pierrot and Eddy charged at him with the blades on the other flank. Meanwhile Novak, Charlie, Félix, Keene, Duncan and Tuff spread three and three also shooting all in the front but from different angles. Lich King roared and a barrier protected him from the attacks repealing them and forcing the attackers to fall back. The beast grinned seeing the ghouls getting closer to them.\n\n“I make this promise to you” smirked Lich King “Since no one before decided to go on me first… !I’ll make sure you end up as part of my army of ghouls when I destroy this world!”\n\n“As if!” shouted Tuff aiming again with light bullets and piercing the shield, breaking it, with his shoots.\n\nDuncan shoot the same kind of bullets but Lich King dodged surprisingly fast for his size. With a powerful tail whip, the two gunners went flying against a wall while the others dodged.\n\nSeconds later, they had joined and were attacking again and again despite the laughs and mocks of the Lich King who assured them none of their attacks would manage to hurt him. And for a moment, it seemed true since no one had managed to attack and damage him…\n\nAnd soon, the ghouls reached them and moaned forcing the heroes to turn around and attack them, being driven towards Lich King who laughed potently.\n\n“We cannot do both!” shouted Félix panting and going back as he shoot at the ghouls.\n\n“We have to force them back or we’ll be at Lich King’s grasp!”\n\nThe group attacked back and tried to gain terrain, but the ghouls were more and persistent. At least, until a large explosion came from behind them and they saw the helicarrier  attacking the ghouls from behind. Heiban and Lenna went down from it driving a motorcycle and passing through the ghouls taking some down in their path. They joined the others immediately.\n\n“Sorry for the delay, we had some issues” said Lenna as Heiban shoot at some more ghouls.\n\n“Yeah! A bullet on my hip… Lenna forced me to return to the helicarrier” complained Heiban.\n\n“She did good” nodded Draco as he took the lead of the group and looked at the Lich King “Looks like we’re more even now!” said Draco smiling.\n\n“You think so?” asked Lich King chortling a bit as he aimed at the helicarrier with a claw.\n\n“W-what?!” shouted Duncan “T-That kind of… LENNA TELL NICK TO DODGE THAT!”\n\nBut Duncan’s warn came late as a dark purple and black beam fired from the Lich King’s claw and slammed the helicarrier making it burst into pieces and fire.\n\n“NICK!” shouted Lenna as she saw the pieces of the machine falling over the ghouls and making a barrier between them and the group.\n\n“Y-YOU BASTARD!” roared Dave “Those were hard working women and men!”\n\n“Ohh… was what I did something wrong?” mocked Lich King mimicking a pout “I thought you’d give your lives for the civilians, why not allowing them to become heroes too!”\n\n“We’ll make you pay for that!” roared Charlie.\n\n“A pity… since they were blown to pieces I cannot use them against you… HAHAHAHA” the powerful laugh of Lich King echoed until it suddenly ceased with a grunt by him and a powerful light that came from a side, mixed with electricity and fire.\n\nDave and the others looked at the place where the beam of light had come and they were surprised looking at five other people standing there. They were Dave’s parents, Silent, Swift Spark and Professor Cyrus.\n\n“We managed to get out of there on time after Lenna and Heiban” admitted Janet.\n\n“W-wait you were in the helicarrier mom?!” asked Dave with his heart skipping a beat.\n\n“All of us… but we five were forced by Fury to come down and help” said Steven as he aimed a bow towards Lich King “Looks like we meet again!”\n\n“And this time I’ll make sure you all pay!”\n\nLich King fired another beam towards the five who by the close distance couldn’t dodge, they ducked and an energy shield protected them immediately.\n\n“Thanks Novak!” shouted Cyrus.\n\n“T-That wasn’t me!” argued the lion looking at Charlie and Keene who negated to have activated anything like that.\n\n“What the heck is wrong here?! weird things keep happening!” roared Eddy looking at the dracolich “Is this your doing?”\n\n“Why would I protect the ones I wanted to kill?” roared Lich King and fired again against the heroes who were protected again but this time by pillars of light and ice.\n\nThe heroes moved again and started to attack the Lich King without doing that much of a damage on his boney body. Though the beast felt the sting of the increased attacks now. It wasn’t only the first ones, the new five heroes started attacking him and the idiotic rabbit on formal suit was messing in his mind from a safe spot breaking his concentration. Nevertheless he still managed to attack them. \n\nSuddenly the asphalt trapped some of them making them unable to move. He took the chance and slashed with a dark energy in his claws, but again was blocked by light that burned his claws. \n\nThe heroes managed to break free and continued attacking. Lich King was confused by the very first time. Why were they being protected out of the blue?! And why some times they were being stopped and blocked from damaging him? He growled in anger and attacked with all his might but again was blocked.\n\n“I have an idea” said Duncan smiling “If we manage to send the energy and power of all into a beam of light and electricity we might be able to pierce his whole defense with one attack!”\n\n“That might work” nodded Novak “Keene, Lenna, Félix, Charlie and I can block the incoming attacks since we lack power and energy to give.”\n\n“Then let’s go!” shouted Cyrus as Steven nodded and Dave nodded too.\n\nThe heroes gathered and Steven aimed an electric arrow while Janet focused light energy on it. Draco, Tsuki, Eddy, Pierrot, Heiban, Dave, Cyrus, Duncan and Tuff all gathered whatever energy they still had and that gave them their power and started to infuse the electric light arrow with it, making it bigger and bigger by the second. Lich King looked at them and roared attacking at them but Novak, Keene, Charlie and the others managed to repeal the attacks and block with shields while still causing a little more of damage to the beast.\n\nIt took them a while and during that time, while some were charging the attack, the others defended as Lich King grew more desperate by the time. If that thing hit him he’d go down and that wasn’t what he had planned. And he wasn’t going to allow that to happen! He was the LICH KING! He wasn’t going to be fallen by a bunch of pathetic mortals!\n\nThe energy gathered and the arrow shone bright as Lich King roared and started to create a beam in his maw, that got covered in dark mist.\n\n“Here we go!” shouted Steven as he stretched a bit the arrow. All of them were tired already and the energy remaining would be to shoot the arrow against that THING.\n\n“SHOOT DAD!” roared Dave.\n\nThe arrow moved slow at first but then shoot like a bullet aiming right at Lich King’s head, but the dracolich already had gathered enough to increase the beam in his maw and seconds before the impact, he fired clashing his dark energy with the light and electric power of the arrow making it shake unstably.\n\n“N-No!” gasped Heiban looking at that.\n\nAnd then… the arrow and the beam exploded tossing the heroes in the air and slamming them against the remains of the helicarrier, a large piece of metal that remained like a wall. They tried to stand up, but the ones that had created the arrow were already too weak like to do it by themselves. The defenders reached them while Lich King laughed out loud at their failure.\n\n“Hahahahahahaha! Looks like there’s no more hope!” laughed Lich King “I will make sure to crush you all! TO DESTROY YOU!”\n\nLich King began charging again, faster this time, and he aimed the head at the heroes firing another beam, like the one that destroyed the helicarrier. They held together sure they were going to die. Dave held Draco and Keene tightly with what remained him of strength, while Draco hugged an unconscious Tsuki. Eddy held Félix and Pierrot’s hand looking at them knowing he’d leave behind too many things… Novak held tight Charlie asking him forgiveness while the other lion said there was nothing to forgive.\n\nThe final thoughts of the heroes began rushing to their heads… until…\n\n“Final ultimate mega defense and attack weapon of fourth wall breaking!” shouted someone as the beam approached to them… and Shade ran with a giant eraser between his hands… erasing the beam and finally jumping in front of the surprised Lich King diving and making one final slash with the eraser.\n\nWhen the heroes looked at the area, Shade was leaning against the eraser and Lich King’s head had gone missing. The bones trembled before they stumbled a bit and fell to a side breaking into pieces. The noise of the ghouls stopped too and the actual corpses vanished in little balls of light.\n\n“W-What the…?!” shouted Duncan “But… You are…”\n\n“Yeah, yeah, I know” rolled the eyes Shade “Don’t think that I came to help you! I made a bet and for a second I thought I was loosing so I started helping that idiot…”\n\n“w-what?! Helping but… then why…”\n\n“As he said” another voice came, sitting on the remains of a roof Famine appeared with the head resting over a fist “He forgot what his bet was and started helping him… until he remembered he bet that Lich King was going to be killed by you and the villains.”\n\n“What?! WERE YOU TWO BETTING ON OUR LIVES?!” roared Duncan.\n\n“Not only we!” laughed Shade.\n\n“No that other bet was after ours… so yes, it was only us, the others just bet on who’d die and who wouldn’t…” admitted Famine “Guess I own 30 gold pieces to War. I never foresaw Nick being killed.”\n\n“Ok you stop that!” roared Keene “We were about to die… and you… are making fun of this?!”\n\n“Kid… with what I’ve seen, this was just warm up” laughed Shade as he made the eraser disappear and jumped to Famine’s side “Guess I won, right?”\n\n“Nope, your Bet was that Lich King would be killed by heroes and villains and that the villains would win in the end…”\n\n“Well your bet was that… ummm…” Shade looked at the heroes, they all were wounded… Dave’s arm was damaged and Draco had an eye patched “Oh for crying out loud!”\n\n“Nevertheless you broke the rules and interacted killing Lich King… I guess we can nullify this bet” said Famine shrugging and standing up.\n\n“Do I get laid with you anyways?” asked Shade.\n\n“Yeah, why not?” shrugged Famine as he disappeared.\n\n“Cya boys!” mocked Shade as he sank in the shadows.\n\nAll looked at the place… were they just pieces on a grisly game those two were having? Though coming to think about it, Famine mentioned War made a bet too and having uneven things wasn’t like the horseman’s style.\n\n“So that’s where those six went” said Duncan reading Draco’s mind.\n\n“Well… I feel terrible now…” sighed Keene.\n\n“We have no way to return home easily” sighed Dave looking around.\n\nThe rest of the heroes sighed and looked at eachother. They didn’t felt like they had won… actually everything felt empty… like if nothing was worth. Nevertheless soon Eddy smiled.\n\n“Hey! Those guys were making fun of us but… at least we’re still alive, right?” smiled Eddy.\n\n“Some of us…” sighed Duncan “Charade… Nigel… he died…”\n\n“I guess he is at peace now” said Lenna.\n\n“Yes, he saved me hon” continued Tuff “He’d have wanted us to continue and not to grieve.”\n\n“Fine…”\n\n“Well, who’s up for some rest?” asked Novak “Cuz I can totally go get something to eat.”\n\n“I’m up for that” sighed Draco as he dragged his paws next to the lion, with Tsuki in his arms.\n\n--- o ---\n\nThe days passed and a funeral to honor all the fallen members of S.H.I.E.L.D. took place in Washington. Nick’s tomb was the larger of them all, showing he WAS the boss. All the heroes of S.H.I.E.L.D. that remained were present there. They all gave their respects to the families of the fallen. They returned to their activities after hearing the announce of Abigail Grant being named as new head of S.W.O.R.D. and S.H.I.E.L.D. both agencies would still work individually but under the supervision of the chimera. Neither of the heroes were pleased.\n\nBut as time went by, and they returned to their lives, they could continue, as Draco quitted being a full time hero to focus more on living the life. He’d still join forces with others. Dave followed him and even Keene who preferred to live in peace most of the time with his parents, not that a near dead experience would influence that…\n\nThe rest also continued their lives, but…\n\n“Yada yada yada… whatever!” sighed Shade “When do I get to cause havoc again?”\n\n“Not until I say you can” chuckled Famine “Hey, we nullified the first bet, but remember that other bet you did with Death?”\n\n“Ahh! You don’t have to tell me…”\n\n“C’mon Shade… we still have a lot of things to do” smiled Famine as he wrote some finals words and closed the book “but I’m sure they will continue protecting the innocent and saving their people when the time calls them forth.”\n\n“What was that?” asked Shade as he walked next to Famine.\n\n“Nothing, just the final lines I wanted to write hehe.”\n\n“Ohhh right… pretentious!”\n\n“C’mon, let’s leave this in the library” said Famine “After all, now that you belong to me… I have TONS of things to make you learn.”\n\n“Great… fucking Death he cheated on me with that bet.”\n\nFamine chuckled and walked to the library holding close the book he carried. It was one of those books he had been writing ever since the beginning of his corporeal life. He wrote the story for the future generations to learn from it and don’t fall in the same mistakes. After all, aren’t those who don’t learn from past doomed to repeat it?\n\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'><strong><div class='align_center'>Rise of the Lich King</div></strong><br /><br />&ldquo;If it isn&rsquo;t Red Nidhogg! Soldier of Asgard, hero of Midgard and&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Darling you&rsquo;ve been playing too much that videogame&rdquo; laughed Dave as Draco posed in front of the mirror&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Hehe I can&rsquo;t help it! It&rsquo;s really hilarious&rdquo; shrugged the wolgon putting on his clothes &ldquo;Though, you know? I&rsquo;ve been thinking&hellip; it&rsquo;s been so long since we started on this, I mean I started when I was 18 and now I&rsquo;m 26&hellip; and though I know several heroes live this kind of life for a long time&hellip; they haven&rsquo;t been killed twice, lost their powers and having them returned by an evil being&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I know, I know&rdquo; smiled Dave patting Draco&rsquo;s head &ldquo;but we are what we are, we cannot change that, I mean, I was raised since I was a cub to be this.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Me too!&rdquo; argued Draco &ldquo;But that doesn&rsquo;t mean we can&rsquo;t enjoy a quiet life.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We have been mixing it, you own the club and your agency, and Nick has even given us free days, not like before&rdquo; said Dave as he pulled his pants up.<br /><br />&ldquo;That because now there are more heroes than before&rdquo; smiled Draco chuckling &ldquo;besides, that crazy rider has been recruiting more and more.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well that&rsquo;s true&rdquo; smiled Dave putting a shirt on &ldquo;C&rsquo;mon, the reservation is at eight o&rsquo;clock.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I know&rdquo; smiled Draco dressing as formal as he could with a nice dark grey suit while Dave finished wearing a black suit &ldquo;Who would have thought? First marriage anniversary.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, and reservations on the best Italian restaurant in the city&rdquo;<br /><br />Draco and Dave smiled at each other and walked out of the room ready to go to their romantic date. Heiban had found an apartment meaning he was no longer living with them, Keene went to a sleep over with Tuff in England and surely by that time the both of them would be enjoying each other under strict supervision of Duncan and Charade.<br /><br />With a swift swirl of the key holder, Dave opened the car doors and both went inside. The magnificent interiors smell like new, of course, they had bought the car just some weeks ago. Dave drove slowly in the night as Draco stroked his hand with care.<br /><br />&ldquo;You know I love you right?&rdquo; smiled Draco when they arrived to the place.<br /><br />&ldquo;I do&rdquo; chuckled Dave as they reached the counter &ldquo;Umm reservation for two, Wolfox-Nidhoggson?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sure, allow me to check&hellip; yes here you are, come in please&rdquo;<br /><br />They were guided to a nice table with candles and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Dave smiled and Draco gasped looking at it. The folf took them and gave them to his husband.<br /><br />&ldquo;Happy anniversary my love&rdquo; smiled Dave.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh thanks darling!&rdquo; squealed Draco taking the flowers and smelling them. There weren&rsquo;t only roses but lilies, violets and even dragon flowers in there. It was a beautiful present.<br /><br />&ldquo;Only the best for you&rdquo; smiled Dave as they took seat and ordered.<br /><br />The first to come was the wine, a soft and sweet one since Dave didn&rsquo;t use to drink unlike Draco who was used to alcohol due to him being and Asgardian and his job at his own club. Soon the chat and laughter began as the food arrived with delicious pasta, soups and steaks. Draco smiled at Dave and the folf smiled back, neither noticing the world around&hellip; until a huge blast in the kitchen made the whole restaurant rumble.<br /><br />&ldquo;What the fuck?!&rdquo; shouted Draco standing up immediately &ldquo;Is not possible that this is happening today!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll kill the bastards that&hellip;&rdquo; started Dave annoyed for the spoiling of their anniversary.<br /><br />But soon, rather than just the common screams for help, they heard something else&hellip; a laughter Draco well knew and some moans&hellip; not pleasure ones but&hellip; angst ones? What was happening? The two ran to the area dodging the people that was running away, some were bleeding, some others were still safe but the wounded could be attended later, they were in shape to escape. Draco rushed his way and bumped with a stinky guy who was arched over something that was on the floor.<br /><br />&ldquo;What the&hellip; sir please&hellip;&rdquo; started Draco but soon he noticed the wounds and the&hellip; lack of flesh on certain parts of the guy&hellip; and worse, he noticed the corpse he was over, EATING it &ldquo;ZOMBIE!&rdquo; shouted Draco to Dave but the folf was already struggling against one of those nasty things.<br /><br />&ldquo;Actually they are ghouls&rdquo; laughed Tyr coming out of the kitchen &ldquo;oh sorry, did I spoiled something?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You&hellip;&rdquo; growled Draco leaping over the ghoul and smacking Tyr down to the floor.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ahahahaha! Is that all?&rdquo; laughed the snow leopard rolling on the floor and then standing up again aiming at Draco with his mechanical hand.<br /><br />The wolgon dodged the incoming fire after moving so it hit precisely on the ghoul attacking Dave. The folf thanked and started to send thunderbolts at the horde of ghouls that came out of the kitchen.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Tyr ran to Draco and managed to punch him to the wall as the wolgon growled and lit fire on his hands tossing the fireballs to the ex Aesir.<br /><br />&ldquo;That won&rsquo;t do!&rdquo; laughed Tyr blocking the fireballs and sending them back to Draco.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey! The suit was expensive!&rdquo; roared the wolgon as the fabric burned in some parts leaving in terrible conditions his clothes. Much to his dismay, Dave&rsquo;s suit was going the same way as he fought the ghouls.<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t you have a better way to defend?&rdquo; asked Tyr laughing as he rushed against Draco rocketing a punch right to his face.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes I do!&rdquo; roared Draco summoning Gram and dodging the punch to slash at Tyr&rsquo;s mechanical hand managing only to lower it and take the snow leopard out of balance.<br /><br />Tyr turned as he went low and kicked Draco slashing with his boots the chest of the suit ripping it and destroying Draco&rsquo;s scarlet tie.<br /><br />&ldquo;It was a gift from Dave!&rdquo; roared Draco reacting violently at Tyr smashing his head with the hilt of the sword.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ack! You faggot come here!&rdquo; roared Tyr punching Draco&rsquo;s gut and making the wolgon fly to the ceiling and slam there.<br /><br />&ldquo;DRACO!&rdquo; roared Dave looking at his husband fall to the floor again. The folf had fended off the ghouls already but more were coming &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll make you pay imbecile!&rdquo;<br /><br />Dave ran to Tyr and thunderbolted him making the snow leopard screech in pain and slam against the wall. And then, Dave smell the gas coming out of the kitchen&hellip; and with the explosion from before&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;SHIT!&rdquo; the folf grabbed Draco and pulled him on his paws again.<br /><br />&ldquo;I-I&rsquo;m fine&hellip;&rdquo; mumbled Draco.<br /><br />&ldquo;Darling we gotta get out! There&rsquo;s gas and fire in the kitchen.<br /><br />&ldquo;R-right&hellip; run&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />Draco and Dave stumbled their way out of the restaurant just in time as the kitchen exploded again and the restaurant itself caught on fire. The firefighters arrived too late as both heroes were gasping with their cloths turned into rags. Draco was sitting over the grass in the square in front of the restaurant looking at it burn down to its foundations.<br /><br />&ldquo;We better inform&hellip;&rdquo; started Dave but their phones began ringing, both at the same time, and it wasn&rsquo;t their common phones, it was Novak&rsquo;s designed phones.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey Fury&hellip; how do you make calls to two different phones at the same time?&rdquo; asked Draco.<br /><br />&ldquo;Several lines of phone number&rdquo; said the panther &ldquo;To the helicarrier&hellip; immediately.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Guess we&rsquo;re up to work again&rdquo; said Draco looking at the destroyed restaurant &ldquo;Happy anniversary&rdquo; growled the wolgon as he made his wings appear and held tight on Dave&rsquo;s armpits flying to the helicarrier.<br /><br />&ldquo;Wait! What about the car?!&rdquo; shouted Dave.<br /><br />&ldquo;It was in the parking lot&hellip; do you see it anymore?&rdquo; answered Draco, obviously annoyed.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll call the insurance tomorrow&hellip;&rdquo; sighed Dave, it was the seventh car that year.<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />Nick Fury walked from side to side in his office at the S.H.I.E.L.D. transport and base. By his side was Abigail Grant tip tapping her claws and looking annoyed at the door that was now open and allowing a lot of people to enter. Some minutes ago, it was just Nick and her, now her men were there too, the three of them, F&eacute;lix, Eddy and Pierrot sitting and waiting for orders, the raccoon seemed annoyed since she called him to go when he was in the middle of some hugglesnuggle with his brother-boyfriend. Then, Fury&rsquo;s men started to arrive, first the whusky in red and black fur, wearing his suit and holding his shield on a hand, confused of why he was called but was informed immediately. Then the lion arrived with his lover. After that the vixen arrived with a jackal, a fennec, a young dog and Keene, the asgardian&rsquo;s adoptive son.<br /><br />&ldquo;Are they going to come today?&rdquo; asked annoyed the chimera looking at Nick.<br /><br />&ldquo;Give them some more minutes&rdquo; said the panther.<br /><br />&ldquo;Today was mom and dad&rsquo;s anniversary&rdquo; said Keene sighing and sitting on the desk looking at the door &ldquo;It&rsquo;s obvious they will take some&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />Keene&rsquo;s words stopped as Draco and Dave entered the room, wounded and with the clothes turned into rags.<br /><br />&ldquo;MOM! DAD! WHAT HAPPENED?!&rdquo; shouted Keene standing up and running to them.<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;re fine&rdquo; smiled Dave.<br /><br />&ldquo;Stupid Tyr&hellip; stupid ghouls&hellip; stupid, stupid work!&rdquo; roared Draco and he leered at Fury &ldquo;ok panther what you missed to inform us this time?!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Nothing&rdquo; admitted Nick &ldquo;This came as a surprise. There have been reports all over the world of zombie attacks.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Those are not zombies&rdquo; said Draco and Duncan at the same time &ldquo;Those are ghouls.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Fine... ghouls, whatever&rdquo; growled Abigail.<br /><br />&ldquo;What is she doing here?&rdquo; asked Dave.<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll have to work together apparently&rdquo; said Pierrot looking at all the others.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nice to see you guys&rdquo; smiled Draco looking at the three top assassins of S.W.O.R.D.<br /><br />Nick sighed and ordered them to take seat. The couple sat down and looked at the panther as he turned on a huge hologram displaying a mapamundi with all the spots where ghoul attack had been reported. Draco was really surprised to find out that it was worldwide, true to what Fury had said. Then the panther continued the explanation making some profile images appear in there: Tyr, Dread Skull, The Zar, a raptor with roman armor and a tigress.<br /><br />&ldquo;So far we now, Dread Skull, The Zar and Tyr started attacking at the same time in different spots&hellip; these other two were spotted causing mayhem at the same time too&rdquo; started Nick.<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s Master Cesar&rdquo; said Keene pointing at the raptor &ldquo;He&rsquo;s the one that kidnapped Mom and Dad some months ago.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Fine, now we can give a name to the face&rdquo; growled Abigail.<br /><br />&ldquo;Boss, be more help than annoyance&rdquo; said F&eacute;lix sighing.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ya&hellip; you better behave&rdquo; growled Eddy still clearly annoyed of the interruption he suffered even if the translator in his collar offered a nearly monotonous voice.<br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re the least to tell me THAT! Faggot incestuous coon!&rdquo; barked the chimera looking at Eddy but the raccoon didn&rsquo;t recoil, he kept the hard leering at her.<br /><br />&ldquo;Wow, he really is intense&rdquo; said Charade looking at Eddy.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, you should see him killing&rdquo; smiled Tuff.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, stop the chit chat&rdquo; interrupted Charlie &ldquo;Nick, what&rsquo;s happening? I assume all this is interconnected right?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Indeed&rdquo; nodded Nick looking at the hologram again &ldquo;for now, apparently the reports have ceased&hellip; But I&rsquo;m not sure that&rsquo;s all. The reason I brought you all here is because I may need you all to cooperate together, both Avengers, Duncan&rsquo;s group and Abigail&rsquo;s special operatives.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What? Why?&rdquo; asked Heiban &ldquo;I mean, we&rsquo;ve worked together some times but, we&rsquo;ve all faced those people!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You haven&rsquo;t faced Wisp&rdquo; said Duncan &ldquo;She&rsquo;s an English crime lady whose dream is to conquer the world, plus she&rsquo;s a pyrochinetic so&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ok, Ok I get it&rdquo; grumbled Heiban.<br /><br />&ldquo;For what I see&hellip; that&rsquo;s a classical announcement attack&rdquo; said Novak.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, typical of big armies with high confidence in themselves&rdquo; completed Eddy &ldquo;For what they displayed today&hellip; they are preparing a huge attack&hellip; maybe worldwide proportions&hellip; the problem is&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;The problem is that, even though they are working together, neither of them have showed signs of working well with others in the past&rdquo; sentenced Pierrot &ldquo;Selene said that there must be someone else working behind the shadows, forcing them or incentivizing them to work as a team.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Last time it was Beelzebub, Leviathan and Belphegor&rdquo; said Draco &ldquo;But Famine took Beelzebub and Leviathan away not so long ago.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, War took Belphegor too&rdquo; said Heiban.<br /><br />&ldquo;Plague took Asmodeous&rdquo; agreed Dave.<br /><br />&ldquo;And Death took Lucifer away&rdquo; finally said Novak.<br /><br />&ldquo;Curiously I haven&rsquo;t heard anything from Mammon in a long time, and he hasn&rsquo;t got redemption yet&hellip; specially after that&hellip; thing going after us.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thing?&rdquo; asked Draco looking at Duncan.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes&rdquo; nodded Charade, the thing that we tried to fight in New Orleans, the one that ate Dusk.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh&hellip; that thing, He said his name was Shade, right?&rdquo; said Draco looking at Nick &ldquo;Any sightings of a shadowy dude with curious humor who apparently speaks to no one and that also make pages appear out of nowhere?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Not that I know&rdquo; shook his head Nick &ldquo;But for today, I want you to go back to your houses and stay sharp. Making sure the perimeter is safe&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You made me stop my night with Rafa for this?!&rdquo; asked annoyed Eddy &ldquo;ACK! I&rsquo;m out of here&hellip; if you need us, you know where to find us. Let&rsquo;s go boys&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Y-yes boss!&rdquo; said Pierrot and F&eacute;lix at the same time standing up.<br /><br />&ldquo;Umm mind to give us a ride?&rdquo; asked F&eacute;lix to Lenna.<br /><br />&ldquo;No problem at all&rdquo; smiled the Vixen.<br /><br />One by one, the gathered there left the office, even Abigail left cursing and blaming on her team. In the end, only Dave, Keene and Draco remained there with Nick. The wolgon sighed and crossed his arms.<br /><br />&ldquo;I know, it was your anniversary and everything went wrong&rdquo; said Nick.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m getting tired of this&hellip; I cannot have a romantic life without some&hellip; monster, villain or menace showing up&rdquo; growled Draco.<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s the life we took mom&rdquo; smiled Keene patting Draco&rsquo;s arm.<br /><br />&ldquo;C&rsquo;mon babe, time to go home&rdquo; smiled Dave and the three stood up.<br /><br />&ldquo;One minute&rdquo; said Nick looking into his desk &ldquo;I&hellip; know is not much, I asked Duncan what kind of things you both liked and since you don&rsquo;t have a pet he gave me this&rdquo; the panther took a medium sized egg with dark and light blue designs.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-what is that?&rdquo; asked surprised Dave.<br /><br />&ldquo;As I said, Duncan told me you both would love this&hellip; maybe the three of you&rdquo; said Nick &ldquo;I know is not that much but, happy anniversary you two.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;T-thanks&rdquo; said Draco blushing a bit&hellip; was that a kind act from Nick Fury? Not only one spy, but THE spy?<br /><br />Keene took the egg looking at it surprised and confused and then gave it to Draco. He took it and it began to flash a bit. Dave looked at that and chuckled rubbing the side of the egg.<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s like a magic lamp or what?&rdquo; giggled the folf as the trio walked out.<br /><br />Draco summoned his wings again as Dave grabbed the egg and Keene made his armor appear. They flew back home as Nick looked at the hologram again. Eddy, Pierrot and Novak had mentioned that there could be someone even stronger moving the strings&hellip; but who? Anyways, everyone was warned to keep the eyes peeled in case anything weird happen.<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />Tyr growled looking at the clock. He didn&rsquo;t want to waste any more time. He wanted to go and fight already but the cursed boss they had now was delaying things. By his side, The Zar was drinking some tea with Wisp who, unwillingly, had to make peace with him. Dread Skull and Master Cesar also were minding their own business&hellip; so far the raptor had taken about 100 civilians and they were sent back to his own dimension. He was already getting loot and the ex Aesir had nothing yet.<br /><br />&ldquo;I sense your annoyance a mile away&rdquo; said the voice of Lich King as he coiled like mist around Tyr only to take his anthro form again in front of everyone.<br /><br />&ldquo;That slave trader got already 100 slaves! I got nothing to be satisfied!&rdquo; roared Tyr &ldquo;You promised me I&rsquo;d get to kill Nidhoggson!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And you will, eventually&rdquo; growled Lich King &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not an idiot&hellip; they are already waiting for us to attack. Do you really think is wise to go head first now that they are ready?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yu idiot! Yu have to get more patienze! Ve ar going to make Ze attack when bozz orderz it!&rdquo; growled Dread Skull.<br /><br />&ldquo;He&rsquo;s Rrright&rdquo; nodded The Zar &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve only begun with this! Arrre you going to spoil everrrything forrr yourrr own pleasurrr?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Classic of a barbarian&rdquo; said Wisp at the same time as Master Cesar.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m a GOD!&rdquo; roared Tyr.<br /><br />&ldquo;And as such, a God of War should know how to wait patiently till his enemies lower their defense&rdquo; stated Lich King &ldquo;Now, if you excuse me, I got some more hiring to do.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That idiot&rdquo; growled Wisp when Lich King disappeared &ldquo;If I could&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;d seal him away again&rdquo; growled Master Cesar surprising all &ldquo;There&rsquo;s no guaranty he&rsquo;ll just skip my place&hellip; once he&rsquo;s done here, he&rsquo;ll go with my own dimension for sure.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t think yu that zpecial&rdquo; said Dread Skull &ldquo;Bezides, once he&rsquo;z done vhat makes yu zhink ve&rsquo;ll ztill be alive? Fer zure he&rsquo;ll have uz killed too! Zo ve have to gang against him vhen time comez!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Firrrst thing you say with sense, wolf!&rdquo; said The Zar as he sipped more tea.<br /><br />&ldquo;I just want Nidhoggson&rsquo;s head on a stake&hellip;&rdquo; said Tyr &ldquo;whatever happens to midgard is not of my interest&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />The five villains looked at eachother. For sure they had to work for Lich King for now in order to gain power&hellip; but once that was done, they&rsquo;d have to kill him&hellip; and that worried them, how would they be able to kill such a powerful being&hellip; that apparently was already dead?<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />Some months after the meeting, things went back to normal, or at least what they could call normal. After all, who would have thought that the egg Duncan gave to Nick would be&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;Tsuki!&rdquo; shouted Draco as the little red and blue eyed dewott ran to him with a huge smile in the muzzle.<br /><br />&ldquo;Tsuki&rsquo;s here master!&rdquo; greeted the pok&eacute;mon.<br /><br />&ldquo;Why didn&rsquo;t you ate all the food?&rdquo; asked Draco showing the plate to him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh! Tsuki don&rsquo;t like feeshes hehe! I prefere the berries Mr. Duncan send everyday&rdquo; said the dewott and Draco smiled petting him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Fine, I&rsquo;ll ask him to send more than the usual amount&rdquo; giggled the wolgon as he saw the dewott waddle his way to Keene&rsquo;s room where they both were playing.<br /><br />&ldquo;A pok&eacute;mon huh?&rdquo; asked Dave hugging Draco from behind.<br /><br />&ldquo;And skillful in magic too&rdquo; said Draco &ldquo;Indeed is the best thing we could have got from Nick.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Plus he cares tons for us&rdquo; smiled Dave as Draco threw the fish to the trash can.<br /><br />Draco smiled at Dave and they went to Keene&rsquo;s room seeing both playing Mario Kart. Keene was already 18 years old, but, he still acted from time to time like a child. And Tsuki was nothing but a cub yet, so the two got along pretty well. The wolgon and the folf then returned to their own room and laid in the bed looking at each other. It was weird that there were no reports of activity yet&hellip; no attacks, no sights&hellip; nothing, and it had been nearly four months. Everything was in peace and normal&hellip; why did they attack that night then?<br /><br />Soon, the night took them in its embrace and both fell asleep. But the night itself carried a voice with it, a voice Draco well knew, it was the horseman&rsquo;s voice and it said &ldquo;They are coming, check the news&rdquo;. The wolgon jumped out of the bed feeling a sting in the ribs like if the horseman had poked him there. For a minute he felt uncomfortable but then, he noticed that the TV was already on and exactly on CNN. It was five in the morning when he saw it, it was a report of Italy being assaulted by zombies&hellip; and in the footage&hellip; he saw him&hellip; the large dragon made out of bones&hellip; the Lich King.<br /><br />&ldquo;DAVE!&rdquo; shouted Draco as he jumped to the closet and put on some clothes &ldquo;Italy! NOW!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;W-what?&rdquo; asked Dave still half asleep as he saw the TV and got a first plane of Lich King killing the cameraman &ldquo;OH MY GOSH!&rdquo;<br /><br />The two took their phones and alerted everyone they knew, even Nick. Draco rushed to Keene&rsquo;s room and woke him up as the sleepy Tsuki waddled his way to his master.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-what&rsquo;s going on Master Draco?&rdquo; asked Tsuki rubbing his tiny eyes.<br /><br />&ldquo;We got work sweetie, I&rsquo;ll ask a friend to mine to take care of you while we&rsquo;re out ok?&rdquo; said Draco in a hurry but Tsuki summoned a scythe.<br /><br />&ldquo;I can go! I can help masters!&rdquo; smiled Tsuki. Draco looked at him for a moment and then nodded. Tsuki was a pok&eacute;mon and a skillful wizard. It wasn&rsquo;t like he was defensless.<br /><br />Keene finally dressed up and summoned his armor as he rushed his way with his parents and pet out of the house, and then, they flew to the helicarrier to be taken to Italy. In the flight, they were met by Novak and Charlie wearing the IronLion and Saviour armors. Heiban was flying on a motorcycle made for him in S.H.I.E.L.D.&rsquo;s labs. Meanwhile a Queenjet met them with Eddy, Pierrot and F&eacute;lix inside together with Black Widow. Only Duncan was missing, but knowing him, he&rsquo;ll arrive just in time on Italy since he was in England.<br /><br />The group entered the hangar and rushed to Nick where they found Abigail standing there too. The vehicle was flying at high speed towards Italy.<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like they already found their way to attack&rdquo; said Novak.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, right when we let our defense down a little&rdquo; growled Abigail.<br /><br />&ldquo;They knew that if they let some time pass we&rsquo;ll grow careless&rdquo; sighed Eddy &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll make sure they find a suitable end with Masamune!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Easy there, we want to apprehend them, only killing if necessary, understood?&rdquo; said Nick.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nick, my team ALWAYS go for the kill!&rdquo; shouted Abigail.<br /><br />&ldquo;Then make them face the ghouls, they are experienced and always go out of their missions without a scratch! My heroes always face huge threats, they can handle that monstruous thing and the villains.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sounds like a plan&hellip; says Selene&rdquo; argued Pierrot &ldquo;We clear the way out of ghouls while the rest apprehend the villains and then we all face the big bone thing.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Fine for me&rdquo; nodded F&eacute;lix.<br /><br />&ldquo;Agree&rdquo; the heroes choired in agreement as Eddy smiled.<br /><br />&ldquo;Fine then! We get to fight those bastards away!&rdquo; cheered Eddy summoning Masamune.<br /><br />In a matter of minutes they were on Italy already on the Piazza di San Pietro where people had been evacuated and taken to refuges. The last time it was a global attack but this time it was centered&hellip; why? But surely the answer will hit them when they meet with&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;So this is the group of Heroes that think they can defeat me?&rdquo; asked Lich King appearing above the huge church that was used as the base of Catholic Church.<br /><br />&ldquo;Lich King&rdquo; said Draco growling but before he could say a thing, the huge dracolich whispered.<br /><br />&ldquo;Separate them&hellip; and kill them all&rdquo;<br /><br />As ordered, a horde of ghouls appeared and rushed against the heroes, and worse than that, the five criminals also jumped into action ruining the plan of the team since Master Cesar went directly against Eddy, F&eacute;lix and Pierrot; The Zar against IronLion and Charlie; Dread Skull against Black Widow and Captain Fur and Tyr and Wisp against Red Nidhogg, Folf Knight, Cobalt Daze and Tsuki.<br /><br />In a matter of seconds, the group was spread and forced to fight not only ghouls but a villain or two.<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />Eddy got Masamune ready as the ghouls surrounded them and Master Cesar approached with a firmly held glaive in the hand. The raptor examined both Eddy and F&eacute;lix and then posed the eyes on Pierrot. He smirked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, you two raccoon and tiger will definitively made a nice addition to my fortune once I sell you as slaves&rdquo; Master Cesar laughed as the ghouls started the attack and Eddy sliced them just like Pierrot and F&eacute;lix focused on shooting at their heads with chirurgical precision &ldquo;And that puppet you have there will make my room be warm when I use it as coal!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You wish!&rdquo; roared Eddy kicking a ghoul and managing to find an opening towards Master Cesar.<br /><br />The raccoon rushed his way and clashed steel with the raptor while sparks flew to the sides and F&eacute;lix changed weapons to increase the effectiveness. Pierrot went back to back with F&eacute;lix and covered him using the 9 mm machine guns that were recently attached to him.<br /><br />The clashing of steel echoed and continued surprising Master Cesar. How an effeminate raccoon teenager like that could be so strong and fast?! The raptor gritted his teeth and Eddy smirked managing to kick him on the gut throwing him back.<br /><br />&ldquo;Imposible!&rdquo; shouted Master Cesar looking at Eddy &ldquo;Stupid teen how dare you?!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Teen?&rdquo; asked Eddy and he, as F&eacute;lix and Pierrot burst in laughter &ldquo;Sorry old bag but I&rsquo;m not a teen, I have twenty six!&rdquo;<br /><br />Master Cesar gasped when Eddy made a sudden burst of speed and reached him slicing part of the leather of his armor. F&eacute;lix and Pierrot on the other hand continued slashing and the scorpion even used the tail to create a slashing cyclone that F&eacute;lix avoided jumping over his boyfriend&rsquo;s back. While Eddy and Master Cesar slashed at eachother, F&eacute;lix finally took a machine gun in one hand and a magnum on the other making sure every single bullet hit its target. Pierrot continued using his back legs blades literally grinding the ghouls without much problem. The problem wasn&rsquo;t that they were strong&hellip; the quantity was the problem, not the quality! And in an instant, some ghouls pulled F&eacute;lix who gasped in horror seeing their jaws getting close to him. But by fortune, Pierrot shoot and even Eddy helped shooting without even looking back.<br /><br />On the sword fight, Eddy had already cornered Master Cesar as he smirked with his eyes glowing slightly. The raptor was surprised by the raccoon&rsquo;s stamina and also the weird coldness that was feeling&hellip; at least, until he noticed the street they were fighting in had already begin to freeze making it slippery. Master Cesar tripped and that helped him dodge a slice right to his throat.<br /><br />&ldquo;Surprised?&rdquo; asked Eddy with the mechanical voice of the translator.<br /><br />&ldquo;What&hellip; you can&rsquo;t speak?&rdquo; laughed Master Cesar stabbing Eddy&rsquo;s leg, but the raccoon foresaw the attack and dodged slicing more of the leather on Master Cesar&rsquo;s armor.<br /><br />&ldquo;I only know how to speak Spanish and Tibetan, that&rsquo;s why boss gave me this&hellip;&rdquo; Eddy touched the translator &ldquo;so I can mock of my victims&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Wait what?!&rdquo; asked surprised Master Cesar by hearing the word &lsquo;victims&rsquo; &ldquo;W-what exactly are you?!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;re assassins&rdquo; smiled Eddy and he extended a hand like if he were slapping the air.<br /><br />A frozen wind of aura blew towards Master Cesar who dodged but not in time as the shoulder pad of his armor got frozen solid making it really heavy.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-What kind of power is that?!&rdquo; roared Master Cesar.<br /><br />&ldquo;No power&rdquo; smiled Eddy &ldquo;That&rsquo;s my aura... my soul&rdquo; the raccoon readied another blow &ldquo;Get ready to feel the sting of my soul!&rdquo;<br /><br />With only a few miliseconds of warn, Eddy shoot his aura at Master Cesar who got the chest plate frozen instantly. But the raptor managed to dodge at the cost of one of his arms.<br /><br />&ldquo;D-Damn it!&rdquo; roared Master Cesar surprised and looking with the only good arm he was left for the syringes that had the power suppressor he had used on those two heroes months ago.<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t think so!&rdquo; shouted Eddy slashing at Master Cesar missing by only a millimeter.<br /><br />&ldquo;Aha!&rdquo; Master Cesar grinned and drew the shoot moving fast and inoculating Eddy it on his neck. The raccoon yelled feeling weird and dizzy.<br /><br />&ldquo;Eddy!&rdquo; roared F&eacute;lix and Pierrot at the same time hearing their partner and friend.<br /><br />They both ran to him shooting ghouls on the run managing to open a breach in the barrier that was separating them from the other two. For an instant, they saw the syringe and thought Master Cesar had poisoned Eddy since the Raptor was now laughing. But then, they saw how Eddy stumbled his way up helped by Masamune.<br /><br />&ldquo;T-that was really low&rdquo; growled Eddy.<br /><br />&ldquo;Try to use that &lsquo;aura&rsquo; of yours now&rdquo; laughed Master Cesar readying a deadly blow with the glaive noticing Eddy being weakened.<br /><br />The raptor leaped forward with the glaive in position to pierce the raccoon&rsquo;s heart, but Eddy raised a hand and his aura covered Master Cesar who gasped surprised as his body froze.<br /><br />&ldquo;What an idiot&hellip;&rdquo; growled Eddy looking at the now frozen raptor that was inside an ice cube.<br /><br />&ldquo;What did he did?&rdquo; asked F&eacute;lix as Eddy took the syringe out of his neck and looked at it.<br /><br />&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t read this stuff&hellip; not like I can read anything hahaha&rdquo; he mocked at himself.<br /><br />&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t understand it either&hellip; I guess is latin&rdquo; sighed F&eacute;lix.<br /><br />&ldquo;Give me&rdquo; Pierrot took it and read it &ldquo;It says to suppress the power of superbeings&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Powers?&rdquo; asked Eddy and burst in laughter &ldquo;I told him that was not a power hahaha what and imbecile!&rdquo;<br /><br />Eddy got close to Master Cesar and was ready to pommel the ice when he remembered Nick wanted the villains alive. He sighed and looked around noticing they were once more surrounded by ghouls.<br /><br />&ldquo;You have the lead killing ghouls&hellip; mind if I join the game?&rdquo; asked Eddy as he readied Masamune and one of Roku&rsquo;s 9 mm.<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />While the ghouls remained on solid ground, The Zar, IronLion and Charlie had flew upwards to battle. It didn&rsquo;t take time for The Zar to start attacking both but Novak dodged together with Charlie the incoming laser beams. Their armors had been upgraded recently and were faster, though Saviour was still only a rescuing and first aid armor with basic self defense mechanisms.<br /><br />&ldquo;Charlie! Fall back&rdquo; ordered Novak.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey! You&rsquo;re the one that wanted me to come&rdquo; said the younger looking lion as he dodged another laser.<br /><br />&ldquo;Would you two faggots stop chit chatting and focus on the battle?!&rdquo; roared The Zar as he tried to hit any of the two, mainly Charlie. <br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;re on it&rdquo; growled Novak as he and Charlie flew towards the armored bear.<br /><br />Soon they were face to face and started to attack with beams from The Zar and IronLion while Charlie focused on using the teaser guns of the Saviour armor. It didn&rsquo;t caused a lot of damage but it managed to distract The Zar long enough like to allow Novak to land some hits. Of course. The Zar hadn&rsquo;t upgraded his armor like they did, but he was still really fast! Especially now that he didn&rsquo;t have the handicap of the hellfire burning his body the longer he used the armor.<br /><br />In a slip of focus, Charlie got too close and The Zar managed to take his boot and spin throwing him towards Novak. Both armors crashed and fell to the ground where several ghouls surrounded them easily.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh darn&hellip; we&rsquo;ll have to focus on defeating him or the ghousl!&rdquo; shouted Charlie as he fired again the teaser guns of the armor without much effect on the ghouls.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ok, love you&rsquo;ll have to forgive me for this&rdquo; said Novak &ldquo;Jarvis activate protocol We0001SA!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What?!&rdquo; shouted Charlie thinking that would send him flying without him controlling the armor back home.<br /><br />- Protocol activated Sir&hellip;<br /><br />The Saviour armor then rearranged taking some flamethrowers and on the left hand and a crossbow charged with electric arrows on the right one.<br /><br />&ldquo;YOU ADDED WEAPONS?!&rdquo; shouted Charlie.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just in case babe&hellip; have fun with the ghouls!&rdquo; chuckled Novak as he flew back up to the sky so he could face The Zar.<br /><br />&ldquo;What?! DON&rsquo;T LET ME ALONE HERE YOU MORON!!!&rdquo; roared Charlie but then he saw that the horde had surrounded him &ldquo;If I die.. I&rsquo;ll come back to kill you&rdquo;<br /><br />- Sir, the Saviour armor has a machine gun on hands too, shall I change to that weapon?<br /><br />&ldquo;You do so I can fill with bullet holes that lion once I&rsquo;m done&rdquo; growled Charlie and the armor again moved changing the flamethrowers and crossbow into machineguns.<br /><br />Charlie began shooting at the ghouls reducing them to piles of flesh and bones. Moving fast and making sure with the auto aiming of the armor that every bullet landed correctly and without causing collateral damage. Meanwhile, Novak had already reached The Zar and started to punch him really fast making sure that there were no openings in his own defense.<br /><br />&ldquo;I see you have trrrained, da?&rdquo; asked The Zark as a mocking.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve upgraded my armor and now is better than yours!&rdquo; stated Novak shooting a repulsor beam on The Zar&rsquo;s face, without effect.<br /><br />&ldquo;I see&rdquo; the bear chuckled and punched IronLion sending him towards a flag pole that instead of breaking, remained stiff.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well at least I&rsquo;m not going to have to pay for this&rdquo; laughed Novak and he flew towards The Zar, but the pole whipped and wrapped his ankle &ldquo;W-what the heck?!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t look at me!&rdquo; laughed The Zar diving to land a punch to Novak.<br /><br />The lion hurried to shoot lasers at the pole so it would melt but he couldn&rsquo;t do it on time and The Zar managed to punch him making him spin. The pole seemed like gum now&hellip; it was really flexible and it wouldn&rsquo;t let go of his ankle, but Novak continued firing laser at it.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll enjoy this!&rdquo; laughed The Zar charging a powerful beam against Novak.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh SHIT!&rdquo; growled Novak noticing the laser wouldn&rsquo;t break the pole for more he tried &ldquo;JARVIS! ENERGY DEFLECTOR NOW!&rdquo;<br /><br />The Zar fired his beam and an energy shield blocked the way sending it right against The Zar who dodged it with a swift somersault on the air. Novak growled and gasped noticing that the energy of his armor had been reduced gradually with the deflector. But soon he felt the heat increasing and noticed Charlie firing the flamethrower against the pole managing to melt a part. Novak broke the twisted part around his ankle and looked at The Zar.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not done with this!&rdquo; growled the bear &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll Rrrip you aparrrt!&rdquo;<br /><br />With that said, The Zar flew towards Charlie smacking him down to the ground and slamming him against some ghouls. Novak gasped but Charlie informed he was fine as he stood up and continued firing against the ghouls. Trying to get the horde reduced without any success. Apparently the Lich King was going something to increase the amount of ghouls. Actually, where had he gone? He went out of sight after the team got spread.<br /><br />Novak shoot The Zar again looking down and realizing that Charlie was ok, surrounded but with enough ammunition to defend any flank. When the lion lifted the face again, he saw the huge muscular armored bear above him. The punch felt as much as it sounded and he fell to the floor breaking the street, and then, The Zar tried what he did way before. The bear dropped like a bomb ready to take the lights out of his consciousness. But Novak saw it coming and used the propulsors on his boots to fly away as The Zar slammed his whole body on the ground, trembling.<br /><br />&ldquo;T-T-That wasn&rsquo;t my brrrightest idea&hellip;.&rdquo; growled the bear as he stood up stumbling a bit.<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like you thought that was going to work again&rdquo; laughed Novak as he fired a powerful beam from his chest right towards the bear making him flinch and fall with the back flat.<br /><br />&ldquo;T-This is not possible!&rdquo; growled the ursine as he tried to move the armor but it was malfunctioning. Messages of &lsquo;error&rsquo; displayed everywhere inside the matrix of the armor and he couldn&rsquo;t even move a finger. The mix of the impact with the beam was too much.<br /><br />&ldquo;I win, I guess&rdquo; smiled Novak as he rubbed his body in pain looking at The Zar. Charlie had finished with a large number of ghouls but was hurt too.<br /><br />The lions got close and looked at the bear, which was unable to move. They both aimed at him and shoot several mini droids that attached to the armor and carried it to the helicarrier so he could be imprisoned. The Zar yelled and struggled but unable to make the armor react, not even to take it off. Novak smiled and looked at Charlie who smacked the back of his head.<br /><br />&ldquo;That is for not telling me you added weapons to the armor&rdquo; said the lion opening the mask of his armor just like Novak.<br /><br />&ldquo;What?! But I&hellip;&rdquo; started Novak opening the mask too, ready to argue, but he was silenced with a kiss.<br /><br />&ldquo;And that&hellip;&rdquo; continued Charlie when he broke the kiss &ldquo;Is for adding weapons to the armor and saving my ass.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Wow&hellip; I could get used to that hehe&rdquo; Novak grinned and then both closed the masks again noticing the ghouls gathering. They still had job to do.<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />The horde increased as Heiban shoot at the ghouls and Lenna followed the example. For an instant they thought Dread Skull would fight against them but he remained there, looking at the with a smirk in the face, of course, preventing them from moving and helping the others. Some shoots from Heiban&rsquo;s gun proved that the ghouls would protect the Nazi wolf and it wasn&rsquo;t effective to try a distant attack.<br /><br />&ldquo;Darn, the old wolf is getting shielded by these things&rdquo; grunted Heiban shooting again against the large pack that had surrounded them.<br /><br />&ldquo;At least he&rsquo;s not making things harder&rdquo; said Lenna shooting again and making burst the head of a ghoul &ldquo;Where do these things come from?! There are millions!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Theze are a gift from other dimenzionz&rdquo; smirked Dread Wolf &ldquo;Lich King vent and turned many, many vorld&rsquo;z inhabitantz into ghoulz fer zhiz ordeal.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well that explains it&rdquo; growled Heiban using his aura to spin the shield like a saw and cut the ghouls, though he felt bad doing it now that he knew those were the living beings of some other dimension.<br /><br />&ldquo;We have no time to be playing this kind of games&rdquo; roared Lenna &ldquo;Captain, you get Dread Skull, I take care of the ghouls!&rdquo;<br /><br />Heiban nodded and ran against Dread Skull dodging and shooting ghouls in the way. One managed to scratch him but only ripped the clothes, not his flesh. Dread Skull on the other hand noticed it was time for him to settle things up with Captain Fur once and for all. He grinned.<br /><br />&ldquo;Vell my dear Captain, ve meet in combat once more&rdquo; politely said the wolf as he walked to Heiban.<br /><br />&ldquo;Dear nothing!&rdquo; growled Heiban &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll make you pay once and for all and throw you into a cell from which you&rsquo;ll never see the light of day ever again!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yez! Zhat&rsquo;z ze zpirit! Be mad at me! Ve know zhat it vill only make you vulnerable to me&rdquo; laughed Dread Skull as he drawed his gun and started to shoot.<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll see about that!&rdquo; said Heiban as he shielded against the bullets &ldquo;Long ago I stopped hating you for what you did to Sacret. I only do this for justice not vengeance!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ve&rsquo;ll zee about zhat&rdquo; grinned Dread Skull as he finally stopped shooting and began to ran.<br /><br />Heiban saw his foe running towards him and rushed his way too managing to dodge the few ghouls Lenna couldn&rsquo;t take down with shoots. Nevertheless, the first impact came from Skull with a sudden burst of speed that made Heiban roll back. The whusky rolled and stood up looking at Dread Skull, surprised and angered while he charged to attack again.<br /><br />With fast speed, the German nearly caught up with the American but Heiban managed to use his aura tentacles to make Skull trip and fall.<br /><br />&ldquo;How you like the taste of asphalt?&rdquo; asked Heiban mocking and in response the street at his feet started to bubble &ldquo;W-what the&hellip;?!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Huh? Vhat are yu doing Captain?&rdquo; asked Dread Skull standing up as Heiban&rsquo;s legs began to get covered by liquid asphalt.<br /><br />&ldquo;What are YOU doing cheater?!&rdquo; roared the whusky smacking his shield against the bounds as they reached and stopped by his knees &ldquo;Damn it! Lenna!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m busy here!&rdquo; yelled Black Widow as she dodged another ghoul and a stone hit her on the side &ldquo;Damn it! who&rsquo;s been throwing these?!&rdquo;<br /><br />Heiban looked at her swiftly and saw the vixen dodging ghouls, shooting at them and blocking, dodging and being hit by stones that seemed to come from nowhere. Captain Fur panted a bit and made his aura cover the edges of his shield. Dread Skull was now running to him ready to crush him.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not letting you win!&rdquo; roared Heiban slicing the asphalt with the edged aura infused shield managing to break it.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ve&rsquo;ll end this Captain! HERE AND NOW!&rdquo; roared Dread Skull.<br /><br />The German wolf rocketed his fist to the whusky&rsquo;s face but the younger fur managed to dodge rolling on the ground. Nevertheless, the asphalt again began to bubble and he had to keep dodging. So he wouldn&rsquo;t be stuck again.<br /><br />Dread Skull continued attacking and Heiban dodged and blocked jumping from side to side so the asphalt stayed away from him. He didn&rsquo;t know how Dread Skull was doing it, but he was sure it was HIM doing it.<br /><br />Captain Fur was taken out of his thoughts with a powerful punch on the left cheek that sent him against a ghoul. The thing opened the jaws and its putrid breathe slammed Heiban&rsquo;s face making him gag.<br /><br />&ldquo;Darn!&rdquo; grunted Heiban struggling with the ghoul.<br /><br />&ldquo;Zhiz iz good bye Captain&rdquo; smiled Dread Skull aiming at Heiban and shooting.<br /><br />&ldquo;ACK!&rdquo; roared the whusky pushing away the ghoul and slicing it with his aura. The bullet had missed and impacted him on the right hip. He turned around and saw Dread Skull stumbling a bit and Lenna crouched on the street panting and bleeding. She had kicked the wolf right in the head.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yu vretched vermin!&rdquo; roared Dread Skull and aimed at Lenna but his gun flew away as Captain&rsquo;s shield hit his wrist breaking it &ldquo;Gyah! Yu pathetic excuze of a hero!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;If I&rsquo;m a pathetic excuse of a hero what would that make you?&rdquo; asked Heiban standing up and walking to Dread skull with difficulty due to the wound.<br /><br />The whusky reached the still flinched wolf and readied a punch. Heiban punched Dread Skull with such strength that the wolf rolled on the ground but still conscious.<br /><br />&ldquo;Zhat&hellip; vill not ztop me!&rdquo; barked the German aiming with a shaking left hand to Lenna.<br /><br />&ldquo;You think you can shoot with that hand?&rdquo; smiled Lenna &ldquo;Or at least&hellip;&rdquo; she aimed at him with her bracelets.<br /><br />For an instant Dread Skull seamed to doubt but then he pulled the trigger missing miserably his shoot and killing a ghoul. Lenna smirked and shoot with her bracelets several paralyzing charges that impacted the wolf making him contort and scream falling finally on the floor with convulsions and spitting foam from the muzzle.<br /><br />&ldquo;Guess we get to take him to the helicarrier&rdquo; sighed Heiban holding his hip.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll take you both&rdquo; sighed Lenna pressing a button on her bracelet and then resuming shooting at the ghouls &ldquo;Help me a bit with this while our transport comes ok?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;My pleasure&rdquo; nodded Heiban as he aimed at the ghouls and resumed the slaughter of the creatures.<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />While all the others were fighting their respective nemesis, Draco, Dave and Keene found themselves fighting against two, Tyr and the new villainess called Wisp. Much to Draco&rsquo;s annoyance, the tigress was an expert using fire that, though didn&rsquo;t hurt him at all, did managed to heat his and Dave&rsquo;s armor. Keene was lucky to have a cooler device in his&hellip; but besides that, the trio had to be dodging the incoming beams from Tyr and also fight back the horde. Tsuki seemed to be easily driven on the heat of battle managing to use his magic against the ghouls defeating some with large blasts of power.<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like you got a fine slave there&rdquo; grinned Tyr.<br /><br />&ldquo;Tsuki&rsquo;s not slave!&rdquo; growled the dewott as he threw a powerful water spell to Tyr who dodged it.<br /><br />&ldquo;Stop mocking him you bastard! Your fight is with me!&rdquo; growled Draco as he ran to the other Asgardian &ldquo;Dave, Keene, take care of Wisp, Tsuki, ghouls!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Right away!&rdquo; yelled Dave as he ran to Wisp.<br /><br />&ldquo;Wow, mom gets really worked up when it comes to Tyr&rdquo; gulped Keene flying up and firing repulsor beams at Wisp who dodged them easily.<br /><br />&ldquo;As ordered master!&rdquo; nodded Tsuki continuing his magical barrage against the ghouls managing to annihilate many.<br /><br />Keene fired again as Dave shoot electric arrows managing to make a bullseye on the dodgy tigress right on the shin. But for some reason, she grinned&hellip; and then the tigress turned into fire disappearing.<br /><br />&ldquo;Were are you aiming at?&rdquo; asked Wisp from behind Dave manging to land a powerful roundhouse kick on his side sending him flying.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey! Stop hurting my dad!&rdquo; yelled Keene diving towards Wisp and tackling her only to find out that one was a fire clone too.<br /><br />&ldquo;Impulsive kid&rdquo; laughed the tigress &ldquo;I can use some ninja arts that you&rsquo;d find outstanding&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ninja my balls&rdquo; roared Keene and rushed to Wisp managing to land a punch on the real one.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ack! You prick!&rdquo; roared Wisp and grinned firing flamethrowers at Keene who blocked them with his energy shields &ldquo;That won&rsquo;t do.&rdquo;<br /><br />The flames went right through the shields and heated Keene&rsquo;s armor that immediately activated the cooling system. Dave took the chance and managed to make a scissor kick making Wisp fall to the floor face first. He looked briefly at Draco noticing he was on equal ground than Tyr on the battle. And soon he heard something that he was waiting to hear from a bit ago.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh looks like the party just started&rdquo; laughed Duncan as he ran at them shooting at the ghouls that were in the way &ldquo;And I see you trained well the dewott I gave to Fury.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, thanks but focus on the battle!&rdquo; shouted Dave as the jackal, the dog and the fennec reached them.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sure we will&rdquo; smiled Tuff as he aimed with a 9 mm at Wisp and firing some energy bullets that made her flinch.<br /><br />Charade rushed his way and started to help Tsuki with the ghouls. Wisp growled and began to attack Duncan and Tuff with fireballs as Dave and Keene reunited with Tsuki.<br /><br />&ldquo;Tsuki we have to aid Draco&rdquo; said the folf as the dewott looked back and nodded.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes Master Dave!&rdquo; smiled Tsuki leaving a final spell on the ghouls slowing them as he ran to the other two and rushed his way to Draco.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll show mom that I can beat him for sure&rdquo; grinned Keene &ldquo;I bet I can!&rdquo; he accelerated.<br /><br />&ldquo;Keene no!&rdquo; roared Dave as he ran.<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like it&rsquo;s only us now&rdquo; smiled Duncan aiming at Wisp and shooting.<br /><br />&ldquo;Like we were in England&rdquo; grinned Wisp shooting at the jackal too.<br /><br />Tuff and Duncan fired at Wisp while she defended blocking the bullets with fire or managing to dodge them surprisingly. Meanwhile Charade had focused on the ghouls until his head began to feel dizzy and heard a voice calling his name and remembering him all he did&hellip; how much he enjoyed it. The fennec shook the head and looked at Wisp fighting against Duncan and Tuff&hellip; he attacked some ghouls more and the voice increased the volume, getting louder and louder.<br /><br />&ldquo;Damn it stop!&rdquo; roared Charade noticing that for sure it was Lich King trying to turn him evil again.<br /><br />&ldquo;Why? I&rsquo;m only stating a fact&hellip; you loved it&hellip; to torture and humiliate those poor guys and girls&hellip; you enjoyed it for real.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It was the only thing I knew back then&hellip;&rdquo; growled Charade as he soon noticed a ghoul had grabbed him by the shoulders &ldquo;Darn! Get back!&rdquo; he kicked and tossed ice at the ghoul stabbing its head.<br /><br />&ldquo;Really? Is that so? Well, I think you&rsquo;re wrong&hellip; I know you better because I can see what&rsquo;s in your soul. And that desire never faded.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ngh&hellip; i-it did long ago&rdquo; growled Charade not able to notice anymore his surroundings.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nigel what the hell are you doing?&rdquo; roared Tuff as he moved to shoot at the ghouls that had surrounded him; leaving Duncan fighting alone with Wisp and already wounded with the fire, though it was not that much of a damage.<br /><br />&ldquo;Tuff get away!&rdquo; roared Charade struggling even to say that.<br /><br />&ldquo;No&hellip; call him&hellip; do to him what you enjoyed that much&rdquo; <br /><br />Charade looked at tuff and tried to shake his head&hellip; his old desires beginning to surface again. But he tried to fight back with all his heart and mind. And soon, the wall of a building expanded and concealed Tuff&rsquo;s hands and guns surprising the dog, who yipped and bounced back shaking the arms.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-what is this?!&rdquo; shouted Tuff worried noticing he had run into a ghoul infested area and now he had no means to defend. He looked back and noticed Duncan having a hard time with Wisp since he had to fight ghouls back too.<br /><br />The dog tried to backtrack and help Duncan, but Charade was in troubles too and also he was getting surrounded. He decided his husband should go first since Charade himself had told him to go away. But in the moment he turned, the asphalt covered his paws blocking him completely and locking him in his place as the ghouls approached dangerously at him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Look... look at him die&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;H-how you did that?&rdquo; asked surprised Charade &ldquo;t-the bricks&hellip; and the asphalt&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t&hellip; but whoever did it, made me a great favor.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;N-No&hellip;&rdquo; Charade shook his head &ldquo;NO I WON&rsquo;T LET YOU!&rdquo;<br /><br />The fennec ran to Tuff and started to shoot at him with steel-hard ice pike that began to destroy the asphalt and concrete that had him sealed as the ghouls approached to him. Tuff closed the eyes expecting Charade&rsquo;s betrayal but soon he found himself free and gasped.<br /><br />&ldquo;Go help Duncan!&rdquo; shouted Charade creating a wind spell that lifted Tuff and threw him over the air to where Duncan was.<br /><br />&ldquo;NIGEL! BEHIND YOU!&rdquo; shouted Tuff aiming at the ghoul but the turbulence of his improvised flight prevented him from a clear shoot.<br /><br />&ldquo;I know&hellip;&rdquo; murmured the fennec as he felt the rotten fangs sinking in his flesh and then another set on his arm.<br /><br />&ldquo;NIGEL!&rdquo;roared Tuff with tears in the eyes as he looked at Duncan seeing he hadn&rsquo;t noticed a couple of ghouls behind him &ldquo;NOOOO!&rdquo;<br /><br />Tuff shoot at them and Duncan gasped feeling the bullets so close of him. He looked at Tuff and caught him midair.<br /><br />&ldquo;Thanks love&hellip;&rdquo; said the jackal.<br /><br />&ldquo;D-Duncan&hellip;&rdquo; sniffled Tuff.<br /><br />&ldquo;What? What happened? Are you crying for real?!&rdquo; asked Duncan surprised.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nigel&hellip;&rdquo; managed to say Tuff the moment the duo stepped on the roof of a building.<br /><br />Duncan looked at where Charade was&hellip; and saw the reason Tuff was crying. The fennec was dead by now, devoured viciously and only parts of him were seeable amongst the horde of ghouls. The jackal gritted his teeth and snarled.<br /><br />&ldquo;He saved me&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I won&rsquo;t let that go to a waste&rdquo; growled Duncan, that despite the wounds stood up and aimed at Wisp &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll drag you to my circus again!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I escaped once! What make you think I won&rsquo;t do it again?&rdquo; laughed the tigress.<br /><br />&ldquo;The simple fact that&hellip; it was I who let YOU go&rdquo; stated Duncan as he fired again the energy bullets repeatedly at Wisp managing to land almost every single impact. Tuff added his owns and the tigress fell on her knees gasping and panting. The ghouls getting close to protect her, but it was too late since she could barely feel her body.<br /><br />Duncan and Tuff jumped down the building and aimed at the ghouls managing to kill many as they approached Wisp. The tigress was growling and looking at them.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll never forgive you or your puppet master for what you&rsquo;ve done&rdquo; growled Duncan and aimed with his cane at Wisp. A set of ropes wrapped her arms and legs and then he smacked the cane on the ground and the tigress was sucked into the cane and into a cage back in England.<br /><br />Tuff looked at the ghouls with bloody faces and stopped crying. It was not time to cry&hellip; they at least owned Nigel the assassination of his murderers.<br /><br />&ldquo;Do you have a communicator to speak to the others?&rdquo; asked Duncan and Tuff gave him one &ldquo;Guys&hellip; Wisp is defeated&hellip; but we lost Nigel.&rdquo;<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />Keene flew passing Dave swiftly and managed to tackle Tyr away from his mom. Draco gasped in surprise as he stopped the slash that would have killed his son.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hehe, piece of cake, mom&rdquo; smiled Keene &ldquo;Let me fight him, I know I can defeat him&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Keene is too dangerous&rdquo; reproached Draco as he stood in the way of him going to Tyr.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-what?! Mom we&rsquo;ve faced worse enemies!&rdquo; argued Keene as he growled &ldquo;I CAN do it! I know!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Keene I prohibit you from fighting Tyr!&rdquo; roared Draco he&rsquo;s out of your league! Not even I am enough to defeat him now! We&rsquo;re just even!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s what you think!&rdquo; roared Tyr as he smacked Draco on the back. The wolgon tripped and rowled.<br /><br />&ldquo;You wretched little vermin!&rdquo; roared the wolgon and Tyr smacked his face.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll show you I can! I&rsquo;m not a little boy anymore Draco! And you&rsquo;re not my real father nor real mother! You cannot tell me what to do or not!&rdquo; yelled Keene angry as he took the fight on his hands and slammed against Tyr pushing him away and then dragging him to the air punching his face.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-what?!&rdquo; gasped Draco feeling his heart hurt with Keene&rsquo;s words.<br /><br />Tyr laughed with the punches, those weren&rsquo;t even compared to Draco&rsquo;s strength. But Keene managed to do many more punches than Draco, and that annoyed him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Stop playing adult games kid!&rdquo; roared Tyr as he kicked Keene away and started to fall stopping in midway only to soar a bit surprised by that &ldquo;well, looks like the boney face wants me to fight you anyways&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Whatever!&rdquo; shouted Keene as he aimed and fired at Tyr with lasers.<br /><br />The snow leopard blocked the attacks with his armor and rushed his way towards Keene holding him tight by the neck of his armor surprising the rabbit.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll kill you first&hellip; and then I&rsquo;ll kill those who adopted you&rdquo; grinned Tyr.<br /><br />Keene gasped when he felt the first punch in his gut. So powerful that the impacts passed through the reinforced armor. One punch, another punch, a knee stinging his sides, another shaking his head. Keene yelled at the pain, he thought on his mom and what he told to him. He cried in silence and soon he felt a powerful punch that turned his lights off.<br /><br />&ldquo;No&hellip; NO! NO!&rdquo; cried Draco as Keene fell cold on his back from six meters above the ground. Novak gasped hearing inside his helmet the continuous beep coming from the vital support of Keene&hellip; was&hellip; the kid dead?! N-no&hellip; no it couldn&rsquo;t be&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;Hahahaha! So much for the son of a faggot!&rdquo; laughed Tyr cracking his knuckles and kicking Keene&rsquo;s body that rolled to where Draco was standing over the corpses of some ghouls Lich King had summoned.<br /><br />The wolgon ran with Dave who was close by to where Keene was and Tsuki who had been fighting some ghouls with his scythe. Keene was immobile like a stone&hellip; Novak yelled at them that the vitals were on zero but&hellip; that it had to be a problem with the armor.<br /><br />&ldquo;No son please NO!&rdquo; cried Draco kneeling by Keene&rsquo;s side and pulling the metal of the armor destroying it<br /><br />&ldquo;Darling&hellip; you&rsquo;ll hurt him&hellip;&rdquo; said Dave still unable to understand his son could be dead.<br /><br />And then, they opened finally the armor and&hellip; Keene wasn&rsquo;t breathing and there was blood coming out of his mouth.<br /><br />&ldquo;N-no&hellip;&rdquo; Draco started to cry even more as Tyr delighted in such scene.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ohh! Please cry more Nidhoggson&hellip; your pitiful and pathetic suffering is my enjoyment!<br /><br />&ldquo;SHUT UP!&rdquo; roared Dave running towards Tyr.<br /><br />&ldquo;STOP MOCKING MASTER!&rdquo; yelled Tsuki rushing next to Dave towards Tyr.<br /><br />Both reached him and Tyr started to kick and punch at them while they blocked the attacks. Tsuki wielded the scythe summoning branches that appeared out of nowhere hitting Tyr making him lose balance. <br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll kill you two too!&rdquo; roared Tyr with a maniacal laughter as he fired beams from his robotic hand &ldquo;Just like I killed the bunny.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;NO! I&rsquo;ll protect the memory of Master Keene!&rdquo; cried Tsuki.<br /><br />&ldquo;I won&rsquo;t forgive you what you&rsquo;ve done to my son!&rdquo; cried too Dave as both fought Tyr landing several hits on the ex Aesir.<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />&ldquo;Please darling&hellip;&rdquo; groaned Draco as he cried over Keene &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t leave us&hellip; please&hellip; I should have gone first&hellip; not you&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />Draco cried and then remembered the CPR he had to learn for the club. He started to pump on Keene&rsquo;s chest and giving him artificial breathing. One, two, three pumping, he leaned and breathed directly inside Keene&rsquo;s muzzle kissing his son and staining his fur in blood.<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t do this to me!&rdquo; roared Draco as he continued the CPR.<br /><br />Pump after pump he tried and tried but nothing happened&hellip; then he decided it was worth the try and charged tiny sparks in his fingers.<br /><br />&ldquo;I-I&rsquo;m sorry darling&hellip;&rdquo; begged Draco and placed his fingers over Keene&rsquo;s chest making him bounce as the static natural defibrillation worked. Draco had used the lowest level of power for that. He tried again and again until&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;AHHH!&rdquo; Keene screamed standing slightly as he gasped for air opening the eyes and then falling back to the floor breathing heavily.<br /><br />&ldquo;Y-you&rsquo;re alive&hellip; cried Draco holding Keene &ldquo;YOU&rsquo;RE ALIVE!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Mom&hellip; it hurts&hellip;&rdquo; whined Keene feeling Draco&rsquo;s tears wet his fur. He was crying too. He had nearly died for disobeying his mom&hellip; And that mean thing he said&hellip; He cried because he loved them too much&hellip; and he nearly lost his life in a spontaneous act of rebellion &ldquo;I&rsquo;m&hellip; sorry&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t matter&rdquo; cried Draco&hellip; It really doesn&rsquo;t matter my love&rdquo; the wolgon snuggled his son and then let him rest on the floor. &ldquo;DAVE! TSUKI!&rdquo;<br /><br />Both alluded turned around as Keene still had problems breathing. Dave ran with Tsuki leaving Tyr grimacing looking at Keene alive. Draco stood up and Dave held Keene&rsquo;s hand supporting his head to allow him an easier way to breath.<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;re here son&hellip;&rdquo; smiled Dave with tears flowing from his eyes.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m gonna take care of that piece of shit once and for all&rdquo; said Draco walking to Tyr.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ohhh you gonna fight me?&rdquo; grinned Tyr &ldquo;Then why don&rsquo;t we do this in a more suiting place?&rdquo;<br /><br />Tyr opened a portal and he ran inside. Draco thought nothing else before leaping and jump inside the vortex too.<br /><br />&ldquo;MASTER!&rdquo; shouted Tsuki unable to decide whether to remain with Dave and Keene or aid his master.<br /><br />&ldquo;Go Tsuki!&rdquo; ordered Dave &ldquo;Protect Draco&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes master Dave!&rdquo; nodded Tsuki leaping to the portal and entering too.<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />Draco stood in the perfect and neat floor of the great hall at Asgard&rsquo;s Palace. Tsuki landed next to him surprised at the place looking around overwhelmed by the drastic change and the inorganic look of the palace. He braced to Draco&rsquo;s leg a bit scared, especially by the many other people around there looking at them, some surprised, some angered. It had been a banquet that was now ruined.<br /><br />&ldquo;WHY do I have this intromission in my great hall?!&rdquo; yelled a large armored old male looking from above.<br /><br />&ldquo;All father!&rdquo; shouted Draco as Tyr ambushed at him from behind &ldquo;ACK!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Draco!&rdquo; shouted Thor and Syf looking at the snow leopard smacking the wolgon down.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll take that&rdquo; said Tyr rushing to Odin and making a sneak attack on him punching the old dragon taking Gungnir out of his hands. Frigga held the all father and both fell to the ground. While some Aesir rushed to their aid, Thor and Syf rushed towards Tyr but the snow leopard repelled them with a powerful shoot of his mechanic hand &ldquo;time to finish this once and for all!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t have wanted it any other way&rdquo; said Draco standing on swordsman position and gripping tight Gram &ldquo;Only one will go out of this alive&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And it won&rsquo;t be you&rdquo; said Tyr as he smashed the pommel of the lance on the ground making a force field that pushed Tsuki away and prevented anyone to go inside.<br /><br />&ldquo;MASTER DRACO!&rdquo; yelled Tsuki immediately starting to slash at the force field with his scythe.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll be fine&rdquo; nodded the wolgon as he readied Gram &ldquo;Shall we Tyr?&rdquo;<br /><br />Without hesitation Draco and Tyr ran at each other clashing the steel of Gram and Gungnir against each other making sparks fly to the air. Tyr moved swiftly and kicked on Draco&rsquo;s knee, though the protector of the wolgon&rsquo;s armor prevented further damage. The wolgon took the chance and landed a punch on Tyr&rsquo;s face.<br /><br />&ldquo;Good one&hellip;&rdquo; mocked the snow leopard &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll make sure you pay for it&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You won&rsquo;t be able once I behead you&rdquo; growled Draco as he pushed Gram leaping back after that leaving a considerable distance between him and Tyr.<br /><br />After a second, Draco and Tyr were walking in circles looking and measuring the other, ready to kill. Draco snarled as he lit fire on Gram and Tyr managed to channelize electricity on Gungnir. Normally electrical attacks wouldn&rsquo;t hurt Draco&hellip; but Gungnir was a different story.<br /><br />Without a moment to think, Tyr shot the charge and Draco was shocked yelling as he tried to move from the momentarily paralysis he was in, but Tyr was faster and made a blunt hit on Draco&rsquo;s ribs forcing the wolgon to fall back.<br /><br />&ldquo;Master!!&rdquo; yelled Tsuki still trying to break the barrier.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll be fine!&rdquo; roared Draco as he slashed at Tyr preventing a lethal blow to his neck.<br /><br />The wolgon stood up like a spring and jumped over Tyr managing to slash at his armor&rsquo;s back cutting it and revealing the strong back and chest of the snow leopard.<br /><br />&ldquo;H-how in the darkness of Helheim?!&rdquo; shouted Tyr surprised and turning around slashing at Draco with Gungnir.<br /><br />The edge managed to scratch without a mark the armor of the wolgon as he smirked knowing the alloy of Uru and Sionia had made his armor nearly indestructible. Only Satan once destroyed it&hellip; but Famine reconstructed it again. Draco stopped thinking on that and returned the focus on Tyr trying to make major damage to him once he was stripped from his upper armor, though his arms, legs and paws were still protected. Tyr on the other hand started to stab at Draco with lance stockades. The wolgon dodged preventing most of the damage but his body was cut by Gungnir&rsquo;s edge. And the wounds actually burned since Gungnir was a holy weapon.<br /><br />Draco ignored the pain and continued clashing steel against steel with Tyr managing to cut several parts of his body while Tsuki and the other Asgardians tried to smash down the force field. Even Thor wasn&rsquo;t able to do it with Mj&ouml;lnir.<br /><br />&ldquo;They won&rsquo;t come to help you little brat&hellip;&rdquo; mocked Tyr.<br /><br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t need their help!&rdquo; yelled Draco as he slashed at Tyr cutting his chest making some blood to fall to the floor.<br /><br />&ldquo;NGH!&rdquo; Tyr flinched and held the wound. It wasn&rsquo;t a severe wound but it would cost him the battle if he didn&rsquo;t finish it fast&hellip; the bleeding wasn&rsquo;t stopping.<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like I&rsquo;m winning&rdquo; grinned Draco as he continued the attack cutting more on Tyr as the ex Aesir landed his own pack of attacks on the wolgon cutting him and making him even lose balance from time to time.<br /><br />&ldquo;And looks like you&rsquo;re getting tired&rdquo; laughed Tyr as he panted, already getting tired too.<br /><br />&ldquo;Say good night old man&rdquo; smiled Draco as he slashed at Tyr&rsquo;s head, but the snow leopard managed to block the attack.<br /><br />&ldquo;That goes rather for you!&rdquo; roared Tyr and stabbed Draco&rsquo;s stomach.<br /><br />&ldquo;Gk&hellip;&rdquo; the wolgon stumbled back surprised as he felt the stinging pain in his flesh.<br /><br />&ldquo;NO MASTER!&rdquo; roared Tsuki hitting harder on the barrier.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m fine!&rdquo; grunted Draco slashing at Tyr making him leap back pulling Gungnir out of him &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll&hellip; finish him now!&rdquo;<br /><br />Draco rushed at Tyr as some more blood spilled over the floor, now coming from the deep wound he had. Fortunately, he moved a bit dodging lethal damage&hellip; but the wound would prove to be quite the handicap. Tyr gasped for air as Draco rushed his way to him slashing again and again. The ex Aesir managed to block the blows but soon, one broke his defense and the slash cut his face deeply as he roared.<br /><br />&ldquo;I won&rsquo;t forgive you that!&rdquo; roared Tyr making a diagonal slash that Draco was unable to block. The edge cut from his forehead to his right cheek&hellip; cutting right through his face and right eye making it burst.<br /><br />&ldquo;AAAAHHHHHHHHH!&rdquo; Draco yelled and fell to the floor holding the massively bleeding wound as the liquefied eye dripped between his fingers &ldquo;M-MY EYE!!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;NO MASTER DRACO!&rdquo; screamed Tsuki managing to burst open briefly the barrier and squeeze inside rushing towards Tyr while Draco still was lying on the floor holding his face. Tyr was reading a cup de grace but was interrupted as Tsuki tackled him making him flinch &ldquo;I WON&rsquo;T FORGIVE YOU!!! YOU DARED TO HURT MASTER&rsquo;S BEAUTIFUL EYES!&rdquo;<br /><br />Tsuki roared nearly spilling foam from the mouth out in anger as he started to cast spells of ice that pierced Tyr&rsquo;s defenses easily. The snow leopard grunted as the ice pierced his flesh. And soon, Tsuki leaped forwards slashing at Tyr&rsquo;s chest opening a new wound, deeper this time that he held with an arm. The young little dewott was furious and continued attacking, though Tyr now defended himself swiftly blocking most of the attacks. Yet he couldn&rsquo;t prevent to feel the pressure on the chest with both wounds. He leaped backwards and panted looking at Tsuki.<br /><br />&ldquo;Once I&rsquo;m done, you&rsquo;ll look nice dissected on my own private collection!&rdquo; roared Tyr slashing back at Tsuki who dodged swiftly.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m better than what you think!&rdquo; roared Tsuki slashing back at Tyr &ldquo;I have a better idea&hellip; HERMIT!&rdquo; <br /><br />A wind barrier covered Tsuki as he attacked Tyr now not caring for defending with the scythe. The slashes of the lance didn&rsquo;t even reached him as the wind barrier protected him and shone every time a new slash came in. Soon Tyr was tired and tried to fire a beam at him, but it also got absorbed.<br /><br />&ldquo;I-It&rsquo;s not possible&hellip;&rdquo; grunted the ex Aesir.<br /><br />&ldquo;And is not even the best part!&rdquo; roared Tsuki as he jumped forwards and the barrier disappeared &ldquo;AEON!&rdquo; <br /><br />Tsuki extended his hand and a powerful windblast impacted Tyr freezing parts of his armor. The snow leopard shook his body to prevent the freezing power but soon his feet were stuck on the floor. Tsuki then smirked and stood in front of him readying another spell.<br /><br />&ldquo;This is for master&rsquo;s eye! THE WORLD!&rdquo; yelled Tsuki as a powerful water cannon shoot at Tyr landing on him making him fall to the floor with the armor defrosted and his body twitching in pain as he had been poisoned.<br /><br />&ldquo;T-this is&hellip; not&hellip;&rdquo; started Tyr but Tsuki was already close to him with the scythe upwards. Tyr noticed he let Gungnir go. That was going to be his end if he didn&rsquo;t thought on something.<br /><br />&ldquo;Memento Mori&hellip;&rdquo; murmured Tsuki as he slashed right at Tyr&rsquo;s neck but steel clashed against the scythe and he gasped in surprise &ldquo;M-M-MASTER?!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Tsuki&hellip;&rdquo; grunted Draco having blocked the final slash of Tsuki with Gram, not covering anymore his face with the hand, only closing the eyelids around the now empty socket &ldquo;This&hellip; is my fight and I will finish it&rdquo;<br /><br />Tsuki looked in surprise and a mixture of worry and anger at Draco. Why was him doing that? He was about to give the final blow&hellip; but then again, he was his master and he would never disobey him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes master&hellip;&rdquo; nodded Tsuki and retreated to the edge of the field created by Tyr.<br /><br />Draco walked to Gungnir and to the surprise of Tsuki and the other Asgardians he kicked it to Tyr. The snow leopard gasped in surprise and gripped it.<br /><br />&ldquo;This ends now&hellip;&rdquo; sighed Draco resuming his stance.<br /><br />&ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t want it any other way&rdquo; grinned Tyr still suffering from the poisoning.<br /><br />Draco leaped towards Tyr and slashed at him, but was blocked by the edge of Gungnir as Gram vibrated in his hands. The wolgon was now really weak&hellip; his body ached like hell. But he ignored it and continued the battle. Clash after clash the sparks continued filling the air and the wolgon and snow leopard refused to give up an inch of space to the foe. Tsuki looked at them&hellip; and also at the blood falling to the floor. He was worried sick about his master&hellip; but he knew Draco would be fine if he said he&rsquo;d finish the fight&hellip; he&hellip; wanted to believe it.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m worried&hellip; that Keene might have to grow up without his mother&rdquo; smiled Draco slashing at Tyr.<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry&hellip; he&rsquo;ll go with you soon after I kill you&rdquo; laughed Tyr between his panting as he blocked and attacked back.<br /><br />Draco continued the battle knowing that&hellip; even if he defeated Tyr&hellip; he&rsquo;d die by his wounds. The stomach and his face nearly cut in half&hellip; he was badly damaged&hellip; he wasn&rsquo;t going to survive after all&hellip; Draco smiled at that thought and pushed Tyr back managing to open a good space breach between the two.<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s your time to die!!!&rdquo; roared Tyr as he rushed at Draco.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not going to die by your hands!&rdquo; roared Draco back as he rushed his way towards Tyr and clashed his steel with the snow leopard&rsquo;s sending several sparks to the air. <br /><br />The Aesirs and Vanirs present there tried with all their might to break the barrier&hellip; they didn&rsquo;t know how Tsuki was able to pierce it but if the dewott could&hellip; they could too. Nevertheless their tries ended in failure again and again. Odin was even tired due to the surprising attack.<br /><br />Draco looked briefly at them and dedicated a smile at Thor like telling him everything would be ok while he was fighting Tyr fiercely. The snow leopard took the chance of the distraction and slashed at Draco, but the wolgon blocked kicking his gut afterwards opening another breach between the two of them. Tyr looked at it and readied once more Gungnir while Draco readied Gram. That was going to be the last stand&hellip; the final attack&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m gonna kill you!&rdquo; roared Tyr leaping forwards and running with the lance ready to kill the wolgon.<br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re gonna fall Tyr!&rdquo; barked Draco leaping forwards and running to Tyr while Thor, Syf and even Frey and Freya smacked the barrier in worry for the hero wolgon.<br /><br />Draco and Tyr ran towards the other yelling a battle cry and the sudden movement of their weapons wasn&rsquo;t even seeable. The wolgon and snow leopard ended up several meters away from the other on the oppose direction, both weapons extended to the front and with blood on them. The Aesir and Vanir looked surprised at that&hellip; Tsuki held his breath covering his mouth in angst&hellip; and then&hellip; Draco&rsquo;s exposed clothes burst into pieces as blood spilled from his body and he collapsed. Tsuki screamed his master&rsquo;s name and ran to him&hellip; and surprisingly the barrier disappeared. Thor and Freya ran to Draco while Syf and Frey focused on attacking Tyr&hellip; but&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;You&hellip; did&hellip; good&hellip;beast&hellip;&rdquo; murmured Tyr and his head rolled to the floor while his body collapsed to his knees and then to a side.<br /><br />Draco felt the soft touch of someone treating him. His wounds were disappearing? What happened? He tried to open the eyes but realized he wasn&rsquo;t able to see completely, the right side of his seeing area was blacked out. Then it hit him&hellip; he had lost the eye.<br /><br />&ldquo;Master?&rdquo; asked Tsuki rubbing Draco&rsquo;s arms as four furs, three female wolves and Freya, a beautiful white tiger, were chanting something and curing his wounds.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m here&hellip;&rdquo; grunted Draco.<br /><br />&ldquo;The little one was about to rip his eye to put it on you Draco&rdquo; said Odin as he walked helped by Frigga &ldquo;but I stopped him on time.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes&hellip; old bearded dragon said he could clone my eye for you&rdquo; giggled Tsuki as he pointed at his blue eye &ldquo;but he said&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It will take a time for the eye to be there&hellip; at least some months&hellip; it could be a year even&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It will be fine&rdquo; said Draco as he tried to stand up.<br /><br />&ldquo;Relax son of Nidhogg&hellip; you need to rest&rdquo; said Verdandi as she pushed him gently back to Freya&rsquo;s held.<br /><br />&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t&hellip; there&rsquo;s people in Midgard that requires my help&hellip;&rdquo; said Draco struggling a bit.<br /><br />&ldquo;Fine&hellip; you can go&hellip; his wounds are finally healed, aren&rsquo;t them?&rdquo; asked Thor looking at Odin.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes they are&rdquo; nodded Urd looking at the young wolgon.<br /><br />&ldquo;But he must rest for a bit or they will open again and we won&rsquo;t be in Midgard to heal him&rdquo; finalized Skuld.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m a hero&hellip; that&rsquo;s my duty&rdquo; said Draco standing up and stumbling a bit &ldquo;I must go&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Master&hellip; b-before we go&hellip;&rdquo; started Tsuki fidgeting his fingers &ldquo;big old bearded dragon said your eye won&rsquo;t be ready for a long time&hellip; so&hellip; I made this for you&rdquo; Tsuki extended his tiny little paws and in there Draco found a patch to cover his eye, a beautiful one, not circular but with a nice design to cover the eye socket &ldquo;T-that way you won&rsquo;t need to be closing the eyelids all the time.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thanks lovely Tsuki&rdquo; smiled Draco as he took the patch and covered the empty eye socket with it &ldquo;Time to go with the others&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I guess you wanna keep a trophy for your victory&rdquo; said Thor throwing at Draco the nearly destroyed hand of Tyr.<br /><br />&ldquo;Thanks uncle&rdquo; bowed Draco as Heimdall opened a portal together with Odin.<br /><br />&ldquo;This portal will take you ten minutes after you departed hours ago&rdquo; said Heimdall.<br /><br />&ldquo;HOURS?!&rdquo; shouted Draco worried.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes&hellip; now go and save your loved ones&hellip; fight by their side and never falter boy&rdquo; ordered Odin &ldquo;Neither you, little blue furred creature.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I won&rsquo;t&rdquo; nodded Tsuki as he stood by Draco&rsquo;s side.<br /><br />Both Tsuki and Draco entered the portal and stood in front of Dave and Keene who had recovered a bit. Draco smiled looking back as the portal closed.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-what happened?!&rdquo; asked Dave looking at Draco&rsquo;s wounds, ripped clothing and the hand he was holding&hellip; but his eyes fixed on the eye patch he had on the face &ldquo;D-Darling&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I faced Tyr&hellip;&rdquo; smiled sadly Draco as he threw the hand to Dave &ldquo;He&rsquo;s dead&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;But&hellip; mom&hellip; your face&hellip;&rdquo; gasped Keene and Tsuki looked down and away a bit.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&hellip; lost the eye&hellip;&rdquo; sighed Draco &ldquo;B-but I&rsquo;ll be fine! In some months Odin will have a new one for me&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Y-yes&hellip; I offered mine so Odin said he&rsquo;d clone it for Master Draco&rdquo; completed Tsuki.<br /><br />Keene looked about to cry but Dave put his hand on the rabbit&rsquo;s back. They had to go help the others&hellip; it was about time to join back the fight, even if only ten minutes had passed, and face the biggest enemy they may have faced since Satan showed up.<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />With a subtle smirk Lich King noticed each of his generals had been defeated&hellip; Tyr even managed to get killed by Draco. The beast chuckled at that. Certainly should be time for him to appear and make them all shiver to their bones. And of course, it wasn&rsquo;t for more since he had already managed to convert many people into ghouls in that world. The whole divide and conquer had worked well, while the ghouls of the other worlds attacked and the &ldquo;villains&rdquo; fought off the heroes, he had managed to increase the ranks with the people of several places&hellip; all the dead people of course. He hadn&rsquo;t attacked living beings just yet. He wanted to do it once there was no hope for them, when he exposed the corpses and heads of their beloved heroes.<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like it&rsquo;s time&rdquo; said to himself Lich King as he walked on the dark and moist hallway of his hideout, followed by the ghouls of ancient times of that world. He grinned &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll see what you&rsquo;re capable to do now&hellip; HEROES.&rdquo;<br /><br />As he approached the light at the end of the tunnel, a portal opened to allow him to enter and he walked out, looking at the piles of corpses that were ghouls till some minutes ago. The heroes worked fast certainly. And even they were already gathered there, in front of his gate waiting for his arrival. Worthy of the new King of that soon to be barren land.<br /><br />&ldquo;I see you arranged a welcome committee&rdquo; smirked Lich King as he opened wider the portal allowing them to look at the ghouls ready to attack the already tired and wounded heroes.<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like you think too big of yourself&rdquo; growled Duncan.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, I sense&hellip; yes&hellip;&rdquo; Lich King smiled nearly to a grin showing all his boney fangs and he snapped the fingers. Soon they heard something&hellip; behind them, what remained of Charade stood up and looked at them with empty sockets and tiny lights for eyes.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-what?!&rdquo; gasped Novak &ldquo;B-But&hellip; no&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, I sensed a dead one here, I missed him since I was making this new little army&rdquo; smiled Lich King as Charade dragged its feet till he joined the group looking at the heroes&hellip; and to Draco&rsquo;s dismay, the ghoul next to him looked like&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;R-Richard?&rdquo; asked Draco unable to believe what his eyes were seeing.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh! Yes, you recognize him&rdquo; grinned Lich King &ldquo;How will you feel having to kill him again, demon?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;M NOT A DEMON!&rdquo; roared Draco utterly furious &ldquo;How dared you to do that to Richard?!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I just woke him up&rdquo; laughed the dracolich &ldquo;Now&hellip; if you excuse me&hellip; I have some slaughter to watch.&rdquo;<br /><br />The Lich King jumped and hiked a church resting on his feral form on the roof, leaning on a side like a Roman Emperor. The ghouls slowly started to drag their feet at them. Draco gave a step back just like Duncan but then they returned to their places.<br /><br />&ldquo;Guess we have no other choice&hellip;&rdquo; said Tuff looking at Charade and aiming at him.<br /><br />&ldquo;There is another&rdquo; said Keene looking at Lich King who was now resting his huge head over a large paw &ldquo;We kill HIM&hellip; if we managed it&hellip; I bet his magic will wore off.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sounds like a plan&rdquo; nodded Charlie getting ready as a frigid air froze both Richard and Charade&rsquo;s ghouls &ldquo;Well thought Eddy!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why when something freezes everyone thinks it&rsquo;s me?!&rdquo; shouted the raccoon as the whole group rushed their way to Lich King.<br /><br />They hurried and Lich King straightened up a bit looking at that. Were they really trying to go on him before taking care of the ghouls? That was new&hellip; the heroes he crushed before would kill the ghouls first and that would leave them badly wounded and being easy preys&hellip; though the rabbit was right, if something would happen to him, the Ghouls would be no more.<br /><br />&ldquo;Intelligent, I must admit&rdquo; chuckled Lich King as he coiled around the roof and then descended looking at them, moving his body like a snake ready to attack &ldquo;Well, well, it seems you&rsquo;ll let the ghouls run rampant!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll take care of you before they get too far&rdquo; stated Novak.<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll see about that, we&rsquo;ll see if you&rsquo;re even able to stand a chance against me!&rdquo; laughed Lich King as he got ready for the fight, his size, gigantic compared to the heroes, supposed to him an advantage.<br /><br />The dracolich slashed with his powerful claw forcing the heroes to spread again and move to different sides of him. Not that he cared at all about that. He had more than ghouls under the paw. Draco ran to him followed by Dave as they both readied blows with their swords. Pierrot and Eddy charged at him with the blades on the other flank. Meanwhile Novak, Charlie, F&eacute;lix, Keene, Duncan and Tuff spread three and three also shooting all in the front but from different angles. Lich King roared and a barrier protected him from the attacks repealing them and forcing the attackers to fall back. The beast grinned seeing the ghouls getting closer to them.<br /><br />&ldquo;I make this promise to you&rdquo; smirked Lich King &ldquo;Since no one before decided to go on me first&hellip; !I&rsquo;ll make sure you end up as part of my army of ghouls when I destroy this world!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;As if!&rdquo; shouted Tuff aiming again with light bullets and piercing the shield, breaking it, with his shoots.<br /><br />Duncan shoot the same kind of bullets but Lich King dodged surprisingly fast for his size. With a powerful tail whip, the two gunners went flying against a wall while the others dodged.<br /><br />Seconds later, they had joined and were attacking again and again despite the laughs and mocks of the Lich King who assured them none of their attacks would manage to hurt him. And for a moment, it seemed true since no one had managed to attack and damage him&hellip;<br /><br />And soon, the ghouls reached them and moaned forcing the heroes to turn around and attack them, being driven towards Lich King who laughed potently.<br /><br />&ldquo;We cannot do both!&rdquo; shouted F&eacute;lix panting and going back as he shoot at the ghouls.<br /><br />&ldquo;We have to force them back or we&rsquo;ll be at Lich King&rsquo;s grasp!&rdquo;<br /><br />The group attacked back and tried to gain terrain, but the ghouls were more and persistent. At least, until a large explosion came from behind them and they saw the helicarrier&nbsp;&nbsp;attacking the ghouls from behind. Heiban and Lenna went down from it driving a motorcycle and passing through the ghouls taking some down in their path. They joined the others immediately.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sorry for the delay, we had some issues&rdquo; said Lenna as Heiban shoot at some more ghouls.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah! A bullet on my hip&hellip; Lenna forced me to return to the helicarrier&rdquo; complained Heiban.<br /><br />&ldquo;She did good&rdquo; nodded Draco as he took the lead of the group and looked at the Lich King &ldquo;Looks like we&rsquo;re more even now!&rdquo; said Draco smiling.<br /><br />&ldquo;You think so?&rdquo; asked Lich King chortling a bit as he aimed at the helicarrier with a claw.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-what?!&rdquo; shouted Duncan &ldquo;T-That kind of&hellip; LENNA TELL NICK TO DODGE THAT!&rdquo;<br /><br />But Duncan&rsquo;s warn came late as a dark purple and black beam fired from the Lich King&rsquo;s claw and slammed the helicarrier making it burst into pieces and fire.<br /><br />&ldquo;NICK!&rdquo; shouted Lenna as she saw the pieces of the machine falling over the ghouls and making a barrier between them and the group.<br /><br />&ldquo;Y-YOU BASTARD!&rdquo; roared Dave &ldquo;Those were hard working women and men!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ohh&hellip; was what I did something wrong?&rdquo; mocked Lich King mimicking a pout &ldquo;I thought you&rsquo;d give your lives for the civilians, why not allowing them to become heroes too!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll make you pay for that!&rdquo; roared Charlie.<br /><br />&ldquo;A pity&hellip; since they were blown to pieces I cannot use them against you&hellip; HAHAHAHA&rdquo; the powerful laugh of Lich King echoed until it suddenly ceased with a grunt by him and a powerful light that came from a side, mixed with electricity and fire.<br /><br />Dave and the others looked at the place where the beam of light had come and they were surprised looking at five other people standing there. They were Dave&rsquo;s parents, Silent, Swift Spark and Professor Cyrus.<br /><br />&ldquo;We managed to get out of there on time after Lenna and Heiban&rdquo; admitted Janet.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-wait you were in the helicarrier mom?!&rdquo; asked Dave with his heart skipping a beat.<br /><br />&ldquo;All of us&hellip; but we five were forced by Fury to come down and help&rdquo; said Steven as he aimed a bow towards Lich King &ldquo;Looks like we meet again!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And this time I&rsquo;ll make sure you all pay!&rdquo;<br /><br />Lich King fired another beam towards the five who by the close distance couldn&rsquo;t dodge, they ducked and an energy shield protected them immediately.<br /><br />&ldquo;Thanks Novak!&rdquo; shouted Cyrus.<br /><br />&ldquo;T-That wasn&rsquo;t me!&rdquo; argued the lion looking at Charlie and Keene who negated to have activated anything like that.<br /><br />&ldquo;What the heck is wrong here?! weird things keep happening!&rdquo; roared Eddy looking at the dracolich &ldquo;Is this your doing?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why would I protect the ones I wanted to kill?&rdquo; roared Lich King and fired again against the heroes who were protected again but this time by pillars of light and ice.<br /><br />The heroes moved again and started to attack the Lich King without doing that much of a damage on his boney body. Though the beast felt the sting of the increased attacks now. It wasn&rsquo;t only the first ones, the new five heroes started attacking him and the idiotic rabbit on formal suit was messing in his mind from a safe spot breaking his concentration. Nevertheless he still managed to attack them. <br /><br />Suddenly the asphalt trapped some of them making them unable to move. He took the chance and slashed with a dark energy in his claws, but again was blocked by light that burned his claws. <br /><br />The heroes managed to break free and continued attacking. Lich King was confused by the very first time. Why were they being protected out of the blue?! And why some times they were being stopped and blocked from damaging him? He growled in anger and attacked with all his might but again was blocked.<br /><br />&ldquo;I have an idea&rdquo; said Duncan smiling &ldquo;If we manage to send the energy and power of all into a beam of light and electricity we might be able to pierce his whole defense with one attack!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That might work&rdquo; nodded Novak &ldquo;Keene, Lenna, F&eacute;lix, Charlie and I can block the incoming attacks since we lack power and energy to give.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Then let&rsquo;s go!&rdquo; shouted Cyrus as Steven nodded and Dave nodded too.<br /><br />The heroes gathered and Steven aimed an electric arrow while Janet focused light energy on it. Draco, Tsuki, Eddy, Pierrot, Heiban, Dave, Cyrus, Duncan and Tuff all gathered whatever energy they still had and that gave them their power and started to infuse the electric light arrow with it, making it bigger and bigger by the second. Lich King looked at them and roared attacking at them but Novak, Keene, Charlie and the others managed to repeal the attacks and block with shields while still causing a little more of damage to the beast.<br /><br />It took them a while and during that time, while some were charging the attack, the others defended as Lich King grew more desperate by the time. If that thing hit him he&rsquo;d go down and that wasn&rsquo;t what he had planned. And he wasn&rsquo;t going to allow that to happen! He was the LICH KING! He wasn&rsquo;t going to be fallen by a bunch of pathetic mortals!<br /><br />The energy gathered and the arrow shone bright as Lich King roared and started to create a beam in his maw, that got covered in dark mist.<br /><br />&ldquo;Here we go!&rdquo; shouted Steven as he stretched a bit the arrow. All of them were tired already and the energy remaining would be to shoot the arrow against that THING.<br /><br />&ldquo;SHOOT DAD!&rdquo; roared Dave.<br /><br />The arrow moved slow at first but then shoot like a bullet aiming right at Lich King&rsquo;s head, but the dracolich already had gathered enough to increase the beam in his maw and seconds before the impact, he fired clashing his dark energy with the light and electric power of the arrow making it shake unstably.<br /><br />&ldquo;N-No!&rdquo; gasped Heiban looking at that.<br /><br />And then&hellip; the arrow and the beam exploded tossing the heroes in the air and slamming them against the remains of the helicarrier, a large piece of metal that remained like a wall. They tried to stand up, but the ones that had created the arrow were already too weak like to do it by themselves. The defenders reached them while Lich King laughed out loud at their failure.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hahahahahahaha! Looks like there&rsquo;s no more hope!&rdquo; laughed Lich King &ldquo;I will make sure to crush you all! TO DESTROY YOU!&rdquo;<br /><br />Lich King began charging again, faster this time, and he aimed the head at the heroes firing another beam, like the one that destroyed the helicarrier. They held together sure they were going to die. Dave held Draco and Keene tightly with what remained him of strength, while Draco hugged an unconscious Tsuki. Eddy held F&eacute;lix and Pierrot&rsquo;s hand looking at them knowing he&rsquo;d leave behind too many things&hellip; Novak held tight Charlie asking him forgiveness while the other lion said there was nothing to forgive.<br /><br />The final thoughts of the heroes began rushing to their heads&hellip; until&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;Final ultimate mega defense and attack weapon of fourth wall breaking!&rdquo; shouted someone as the beam approached to them&hellip; and Shade ran with a giant eraser between his hands&hellip; erasing the beam and finally jumping in front of the surprised Lich King diving and making one final slash with the eraser.<br /><br />When the heroes looked at the area, Shade was leaning against the eraser and Lich King&rsquo;s head had gone missing. The bones trembled before they stumbled a bit and fell to a side breaking into pieces. The noise of the ghouls stopped too and the actual corpses vanished in little balls of light.<br /><br />&ldquo;W-What the&hellip;?!&rdquo; shouted Duncan &ldquo;But&hellip; You are&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, yeah, I know&rdquo; rolled the eyes Shade &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t think that I came to help you! I made a bet and for a second I thought I was loosing so I started helping that idiot&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;w-what?! Helping but&hellip; then why&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;As he said&rdquo; another voice came, sitting on the remains of a roof Famine appeared with the head resting over a fist &ldquo;He forgot what his bet was and started helping him&hellip; until he remembered he bet that Lich King was going to be killed by you and the villains.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What?! WERE YOU TWO BETTING ON OUR LIVES?!&rdquo; roared Duncan.<br /><br />&ldquo;Not only we!&rdquo; laughed Shade.<br /><br />&ldquo;No that other bet was after ours&hellip; so yes, it was only us, the others just bet on who&rsquo;d die and who wouldn&rsquo;t&hellip;&rdquo; admitted Famine &ldquo;Guess I own 30 gold pieces to War. I never foresaw Nick being killed.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ok you stop that!&rdquo; roared Keene &ldquo;We were about to die&hellip; and you&hellip; are making fun of this?!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Kid&hellip; with what I&rsquo;ve seen, this was just warm up&rdquo; laughed Shade as he made the eraser disappear and jumped to Famine&rsquo;s side &ldquo;Guess I won, right?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Nope, your Bet was that Lich King would be killed by heroes and villains and that the villains would win in the end&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well your bet was that&hellip; ummm&hellip;&rdquo; Shade looked at the heroes, they all were wounded&hellip; Dave&rsquo;s arm was damaged and Draco had an eye patched &ldquo;Oh for crying out loud!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Nevertheless you broke the rules and interacted killing Lich King&hellip; I guess we can nullify this bet&rdquo; said Famine shrugging and standing up.<br /><br />&ldquo;Do I get laid with you anyways?&rdquo; asked Shade.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, why not?&rdquo; shrugged Famine as he disappeared.<br /><br />&ldquo;Cya boys!&rdquo; mocked Shade as he sank in the shadows.<br /><br />All looked at the place&hellip; were they just pieces on a grisly game those two were having? Though coming to think about it, Famine mentioned War made a bet too and having uneven things wasn&rsquo;t like the horseman&rsquo;s style.<br /><br />&ldquo;So that&rsquo;s where those six went&rdquo; said Duncan reading Draco&rsquo;s mind.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well&hellip; I feel terrible now&hellip;&rdquo; sighed Keene.<br /><br />&ldquo;We have no way to return home easily&rdquo; sighed Dave looking around.<br /><br />The rest of the heroes sighed and looked at eachother. They didn&rsquo;t felt like they had won&hellip; actually everything felt empty&hellip; like if nothing was worth. Nevertheless soon Eddy smiled.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey! Those guys were making fun of us but&hellip; at least we&rsquo;re still alive, right?&rdquo; smiled Eddy.<br /><br />&ldquo;Some of us&hellip;&rdquo; sighed Duncan &ldquo;Charade&hellip; Nigel&hellip; he died&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I guess he is at peace now&rdquo; said Lenna.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, he saved me hon&rdquo; continued Tuff &ldquo;He&rsquo;d have wanted us to continue and not to grieve.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Fine&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, who&rsquo;s up for some rest?&rdquo; asked Novak &ldquo;Cuz I can totally go get something to eat.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m up for that&rdquo; sighed Draco as he dragged his paws next to the lion, with Tsuki in his arms.<br /><br />--- o ---<br /><br />The days passed and a funeral to honor all the fallen members of S.H.I.E.L.D. took place in Washington. Nick&rsquo;s tomb was the larger of them all, showing he WAS the boss. All the heroes of S.H.I.E.L.D. that remained were present there. They all gave their respects to the families of the fallen. They returned to their activities after hearing the announce of Abigail Grant being named as new head of S.W.O.R.D. and S.H.I.E.L.D. both agencies would still work individually but under the supervision of the chimera. Neither of the heroes were pleased.<br /><br />But as time went by, and they returned to their lives, they could continue, as Draco quitted being a full time hero to focus more on living the life. He&rsquo;d still join forces with others. Dave followed him and even Keene who preferred to live in peace most of the time with his parents, not that a near dead experience would influence that&hellip;<br /><br />The rest also continued their lives, but&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yada yada yada&hellip; whatever!&rdquo; sighed Shade &ldquo;When do I get to cause havoc again?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Not until I say you can&rdquo; chuckled Famine &ldquo;Hey, we nullified the first bet, but remember that other bet you did with Death?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ahh! You don&rsquo;t have to tell me&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;C&rsquo;mon Shade&hellip; we still have a lot of things to do&rdquo; smiled Famine as he wrote some finals words and closed the book &ldquo;but I&rsquo;m sure they will continue protecting the innocent and saving their people when the time calls them forth.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What was that?&rdquo; asked Shade as he walked next to Famine.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nothing, just the final lines I wanted to write hehe.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ohhh right&hellip; pretentious!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;C&rsquo;mon, let&rsquo;s leave this in the library&rdquo; said Famine &ldquo;After all, now that you belong to me&hellip; I have TONS of things to make you learn.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Great&hellip; fucking Death he cheated on me with that bet.&rdquo;<br /><br />Famine chuckled and walked to the library holding close the book he carried. It was one of those books he had been writing ever since the beginning of his corporeal life. He wrote the story for the future generations to learn from it and don&rsquo;t fall in the same mistakes. After all, aren&rsquo;t those who don&rsquo;t learn from past doomed to repeat it?<br /><br /></span>","pools_count":1,"title":"Rise of the Lich King","deleted":"f","public":"t","mimetype":"application/msword","pagecount":"1","rating_id":"2","rating_name":"Adult","ratings":[{"content_tag_id":"5","name":"Strong Violence","description":"Strong violence, blood, serious injury or death","rating_id":"2"}],"submission_type_id":"12","type_name":"Writing - Document","guest_block":"t","friends_only":"f","comments_count":"0","views":"115","sales_description":null,"forsale":"f","digitalsales":"f","printsales":"f","digital_price":""}
