As the Generals armies swept forward from the south and west the heroes noticed towers raising out of the waters. As they surfaced they emitted a purple light proving to be functional.
Gadget came out of a tower with Yasmin known as Pink-cloud.
" Zeta is in stage one." a voice in Gadget's earpiece told
A few figures were approaching and Gadget questioned the person over the earpiece if the area was truly swept over.
" We hid, it seems you're in a rush to put these up." a S-rank Mercenary, Wizard smiled
A man came out of the tower. His droopy ruby eyes looked at the unwanted company and he made a small smile.
" Well, Gadget. May I?" he grinned
Gadget sighed and took out a remote and pressed it. His bracelet fell off and an aura of danger came out of him.
" Zeta needs to put up so forgive Gadget for not being your opponent." he told
Gadget and Pink-cloud quickly left deeper into the Turf. Static enveloped the ground as the man appeared in front of a hero and held him up by the neck. The hero began to turn from blue to purple before falling to the ground.
" Villains should be eliminated." a SSS-rank hero, Goldilocks frowned
Wizard went," Who are you?"
" Just call me, Nine." he told " Vermin should just die."
His eyes glowed as a harpoon appeared in his hand he slashed the people effortlessly. Blood dripped down him like sweat and his was oddly calm. He grabbed another person and ripped her in two bare-handed. The intruders began to scatter like ants and Nine sighed, " I hate hide and seek."
" Do you have no humanity?!" Goldilocks winced
Nine went," I wouldn't want to hear that from the likes of you."
" Why? I'm right aren't I?" she provoked
He let out a sigh and passed Goldilocks.
" I don't have time for you little provocation. I need to catch your rat friends." he smiled running after them
A man pulled a teen by the wrist. He pushed her back. The girl, Hannah saw a comrade hanging on a wall from a harpoon in their forehead. Hannah saw two more comrades shredded some miles away. The adrenaline in her veins, she thought that ah so this is what true fear feels like.
The man stopped and Hannah saw Nine with a severed head drenched in blood. He sharply turned and his red eyes were on them and he scoffed," Quite a look of pests." as he threw the head. Goldilocks came from behind, he counteracted her hair covered fists with his harpoon and Hannah and the man ran away.
" You MONSTER!!" Goldilocks yelled
Static came over his body and into the harpoon. He hit the hero aside easier and was about to follow after the escaping individuals.
" WHY WON'T YOU FIGHT ME SERIOUSLY!!!??" She cried
Nine walk up to her and crouched beside her. He raised his hand to hide a thin smile," Isn't death to good for you heroes? I hope their screams haunt you 'til a Blood Lily villain kills you at your lowest in despair over the lives that die for you."
" He's crazy." she thought looking at the gleam in his eyes " He'll kill all of them except me."
Gadget looked at a holo-map( holographic map...) and touched the ground. A tower shot upwards a shone purple. A beam stretched to the towers at the shore and blanketed the area. No one from the hero side could enter the covered area. Everyone saw the area and reports came in of being members being trapped inside.
Hercules pushed back from Fang's snakes and hit behind a pillar. He saw Fang looked at the area and touch his earing.
" Yeah, I see the field is advancing well. I'll take over this Turf but Hercules is here." Fang went
A snake swallowed up Hercules. The hero fell down and cut into the smooth muscles to form an exit. The stomach acid burnt his skin, he stared at Fang and over him he saw more towers being erected as the field grew inwards.
He ran to Fang with eyes closed. He had to be careful of his stone gaze and poison so was trying to ware him out.
" Your plan won't work. I have energy for days." Fang interrupted his train of thoughts
Hercules made distance again. It was he was facing his own wall. Fang let out a sigh," Should I even try to continue pretending to take you serious? I heard you were strong but I'm disappointed."
The tar underneath him turned into a large black cobra. Fang sat cross-legged and the snakes backed away from Hercules.
" I won't fight an arrogant, narrow-minded and self-glorifying hero that can't even put their money were their mouth is. Learn not to toot your own horn, Hercules." Fang told before leaving
Hercules felt defeated and gripped his fists. Heroes at HQ pressed a button which was given by the governments to launch missiles and they targeted the field.
Nine caught up with Hannah and the man. He had swiped out everyone else with ease and stabbed the man with his harpoon. The man told Hannah to run as he held onto Nine restricting his movements. Hannah ran aimlessly, the thumps of her heart of the unknown and she took out her phone. The teen hide in a building and softly cried. When she shut her eyes Nine's red eyes were what she saw in the darkness and when her eyes were open the sight of carnage was in her view.
Hannah called a number and a gruff voice came through," Hannah? Aren't you on a mission?"
" Da...aad.....I...I....I don't want to die. Please don't let me die, I'll....be a better daughter...Please....Please...I want to live...*hick*...I haven't said what I wanted to or done what I had to...." she cried
" Hannah? Where are you dear?" her father asked
" Please...I never meant to say I hated you and our family...I.." she went
Hannah shuttered and turned to the window behind her. Those red eyes stared back at her and Nine's harpoon landed into her ankle and dropped her phone.
" HANNAH!!!??"
She repeated over her desire to live and crawled to the phone , " Please....Please....I don't want to.... I want to live...."
Nine stabbed her heart and the father on the line called repeated for his lost daughter.
" At least he called for you , little lamb." Nine sighed remembering his own parent leaving him to die miserably
A voice came in from his communicator, " Vice-leader we found the developing crack, Big Boss was talking about."
" Sent me the holo-map." Nine ordered
It showed the crack was on the outskirts of the Thunder and Pyro Lady's Turf as well as the development sped of the crack.
" Inform all personal. We need to get the Zeta Field up as fast as possible even if we'll trap the disgusting heroes with us." Nine frowned
" Vice-leader! The heroes fired missiles!"
" No worries." he went cut the call
A stray missile was heading to a Blood Lily HQ. Claw's daughter, Claudia was in front as her boyfriend Yoel appearing and colliding with the missile heading her direction. She immediately teleported into a warzone
" IDIOT!!!" Her comrades went
