Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Plan B

10:00 A.M

[A.P.E.X industrial prison]

Inside the industrial prison, located in the hangar bay. Henry Black, Vanessa Welch, Jimmy Winston, Matthew Winters, Oiwkzero, Roach, all six of the enhanced Soldiers and Viktor all stand together in wait as Sora and Ajex walk in with two Prisoners; One male and other female, both wearing the same white prison uniforms. The male has a lightly peached skin complexion, green iris eyes, platinum blonde long untidy hair with a full on beard. The female has red shoulder length hair and her eyes are brown and they often look sharp and intelligent.

Sora: Here... They are.

Henry: Great. Now we can leave this chappy place and help the others.

Hyperman: Yes... But I fear something has occured shaping the course of our future.

Henry: So?

Hyperman: We need to rethink our plan.

Matthew: Nooo. No, no. We've rethought our plans AND already in action. We need to continue on with our current plan.

Hyperman: Our plan is falling apart Matthew. As we speak Zack and his group are fighting Aggregor with Kai's group.

Jimmy: Wait... Kai's group? Does that mean that they succeeded on killing Troy just l-like the seeress said?

Hyperman: Yes... (He confirms with a sad tone in acknowledgement about Seto's sacrifice against Troy Harper.)

Matthew, Jimmy, Henry, Roach and Zero all feel sad upon realising that their dearest friend Seto is dead but do not show signs of grieve and sadness. Henry sighs in sadness as he looks down and softly says "Damnit all..."

Viktor: This is great. As long as Zeke Takaya, Lucis Darhk and Troy Harper are all dead there is no doubt that we will succeed on getting all the shards.

Hyperman: Zeke Takaya... still lives.

Hearing those exact words come out of Hyperman's mouth surprises everyone except for the two Prisoners and Sora who never heard or met Zeke, and Matthew who just doesn't look all that surprised by the sudden news.

Zero: You bluffing... Right?

Matthew: He's not, Zero. Zeke is infact still alive.

Roach: But... But how? I watched him die infront of me.

Hyperman: Zeke is part of the dead population that had been reincarnated.

Ajex: So is prisoner 646. (He says as he looks at the male prisoner.)

Jimmy: (He looks at the male prisoner with a raised eyebrow) Who is he anyways?

Viktor: He is Aizen Lung the very first of the Zx Initiative.

Jimmy: The First? Damn. I always thought that Jack or JB were the first members.

Hyperman: Hm. Maybe they are in your Universe.

Matthew: Why is he here?

Hyperman: Zyr and I... made a backup plan in case all is lost. And He... is incase the plan fails.

Matthew: Hm... Just what is this backup plan Hyperman?

Hyperman: ... To bring back Ezra Darhk and Satoshi Shinseiji.

Matthew: Oh...Kay? And how exactly is he... helpful when your plan fails?

Aizen: I've fought and KILLED Satoshi...

Matthew: Tch... Wait you being forreal? YOU... managed to kill someone who's practically immortal Coz of his god plex regen... how is he alive?

Aizen: (chuckles) It was before his regeneration power kicked in and saved him.

Matthew: Hm... Alright. What's your powers?

Aizen: None of your business.

Matthew: Hm... (looks at Sora) You work here, what's his powers?

Sora: Uh... its unknown.

Matthew: ... (he stared blankly at Sora before breaking contact as he sticks his pinky finger in his own ear and moves it around) Sorry... I misheard you.

Sora: (He sighs) Aizen's powers... have never been seen... or known.

Matthew: Well I'll be damn.

Viktor: Enough fucking talk! We need more forces out there collecting those shards.

Hyperman: Consider that done Viktor, as we speak there are squads already in the areas each shard is located except for the one in Chicago. Once every other shard has been collected we all will meet up in Chicago to retrieve the final shard.

Matthew: Whoa... You say that like it's fucking easy. Chicago is ground zero. Its lands and people are dying and in war with one another. Its a fucking risk heading in there.

Ajex: He is right Heimann. There's no chance in hell I'm sending MY soldiers to die for a mistake caused by one of your own Viktor.

Hyperman: Hmmm... I understand Ajex. But this conflict... Is beyond world wide meaning it involves EVERYONE. All it takes is Just one shard in hand for Aggregor to destroy EVERYTHING. He doesn't necessarily need all shards together just one to corrupt into a shard of destruction, overriding the functions that give life, into anti life.

Ajex: You all saved the world.... who to say you won't do it again Hyperman? (Tilts his head slightly as he looks at Hyperman seemingly disappointed.)

[Aizen Lung perspective]

Ajex was right... and wrong. Even I knew that. They all continued on with their planning until at last... I finally knew my purpose in this whole thing...

10:20 A.M.

After what seemed to be a everlasting exchange of ideas, arguments and more, Ajex and his forces chose to assist the other forces in Newcastle upon Tyne after getting news of what's occurring there. The female lady with the wrist guns (Vanessa Welch) took the female prisoner that stood next to me away elsewhere, Viktor's group located in Spain had disappeared so has sent an investigation crew to the area. As for the rest they all had to go retrieve a shard of reality located in the city of Chicago. All except for me...

I looked around confused as to why I removed from my cell, what my role was. As everyone began leaving, Hyperman walked up to me "Aizen, Follow me." He said before walking out the hangar door.

I followed after him. He led me into the quiet and faint lighten up hallway with no one else there just the two of us. I looked at him as we walked, saw no aura of energy from his body or anything divine just only saw him in his elaborate black lounged suit. "What are you?" I wanted to ask but chose to keep the question to myself as he began speaking after the long silent walk we've taken "Aizen... You are one of the very few people in all sorts of existences to have faced Satoshi and managed to beat him--"

"KILL..." I corrected him "I managed to kill him, he only managed to come back from the dead...", "Right... anyways, will you be able to beat Satoshi once more if you and him ever made a encounter?" He asks me, which caught me off gaurd for a second before answering him "Not really..." A flashback of my final moments being against Satoshi play shortly in my head before I shut my eyes for a bit. "If he managed to live for this long... fighting him will be very difficult.", "I see... What if You had the right equipment and help?" He asks me as he stops walking and looks at me, "Well that depends on how good the equipment and this 'help' you talk about, REALLY is." He chuckles after my reply before saying "You know I had doubts about the legends but now... in the state that we all struggling in, I suppose a legend I'd what's needed.", I stared at him slightly confused before asking him the very question I had bottled inside "Just what is it you want from me? Whats my role in this fight?", "Your role... is to be backup for when Satoshi returns from wherever he returns keen on destroying reality instead of saving it."

Hearing that I was surprised, I had no words to say, no other facial expression except the one of shock that quickly changes into a face of determination as I look at Hyperman. I had always questioned about my purpose in life, even after my... 'Death' I always had questions. Now... Now I know what my purpose is. Why I was given a second chance. And that... is to help bring peace to the world.
