Plot : The heroes have been approached by governments across the planet about recent attacks that left thousands of civilians without homes and hundreds more dead. The pressure from the governments has begun to weigh down on many of the heroes, causing many of them to go into hiding or quit entirely.

Though some weren't satisfied.

I'm feeling major Justice League and Avengers Civil War vibes at the moment and I felt like making a super hero story again.

This also is because the Hermits are having a Turf War in the shopping district and I got major flashbacks to Season 5 and 6-

Here's a challenge. Try to guess which hero goes with which hermit. Some of them are obvious, some of them aren't. Also some of the heroes names are still the same from previous chapters.

But let's see who/what you remember without going back.

The world was afraid. It was left trembling and backed into a corner.

The heroes they had looked up to to protect them were no better than the villains they fought.

The hero Boulder had seemingly disappeared without a trace.

The Admin was forced to stop by the public's constant pressure.

The Necromancer had gone back into hiding. Along with the majority of other heroes.

Some heroes refused to give up. While some gave in to the the government pressures to assist only them.

The Watcher, was one of the few heroes that refused to give up.

Currently, Watcher was seated within a darkened cave, sitting beside him was the Jangler, FireStar, Bolt, Frost, Radioactive and Reaper. The seven of them were sitting around a circle table, trying to brainstorm plans or ideas. All of them wanted to keep helping the world, but all unregistered super humans were arrested on sight if they tried to defend the cities they once protected.

"So run this again. Which heroes are working with the government?" Radioactive started.

"The Hound, Poet, Paladin are all confirmed heroes working with the government." Reaper replied. "Possible heroes working with the government are Fang, Butcher, Dubstep and Trickster."

"What about hidden heroes that haven't been forced out or arrested?" Frost asked, her arms crossed over her chest as she sat with one leg crossed over the other.

This time it was Watcher's turn to speak up. "Hidden heroes or forced out heroes are the Admin, Hunter, the Necromancer, Reaction and Amber."

Bolt turned his head to the winged hero. "Reaction? I thought he joined the government?"

Jangler visibly flinched, his arms twitching underneath his cloak. "What? Did he? I thought he was still put out."

FireStar shook his head. "No, he's for sure still in hiding with the Hunter. That's who he was with last. I think..."

"No, Hunter was arrested two months ago."

"Has anyone heard from Plague lately?"

"Stars it's been so long. We've hardly checked up on all the other in hiding heroes."

"What about Boulder? Or Gravitational?"

"Guys-"

"The Alchemist and Assassin might still be in hiding. The Builder had been forced to quit."

"Guys!"

The room fell silent and eyes turned back to the Watcher.

With all the attention back on him, Watcher spoke again. "Let's just focus on what we know. Then we'll suspect the worst case scenario."

Jangler took a shaky breath. "Worst case scenario being what?"

"Worst case scenario is- all our old teammates have joined the government. Then we'd be forced to face off against them to prevent getting arrested."

Car alarms blared out and smoke rose into the air. Jangler, from above on a rooftop was observing the scene of the chaotic villain's rampage.

"Any of the government heroes?" A voice asked through an electronical ear piece he had on.

The Jangler placed his index finger to his ear. "No heroes yet. Do we go in?"

A bit of static came through before Bolt replied. "Yes. Give off the mass signal to the others."

The Jangler smiled before pulling his hand away from his ear and then holding both his hands out infront of himself.

A red firework ball appeared infront of him. It glowed and The Jangler's hands heated up.

"Humanity, here we come. Whether you like it or not."

With that thought. The Jangler lifted both hands up into the air, shooting the firework ball off into the air.

The firework ball lit up like a flare. And then it suddenly exploded.

Jangler couldn't help but to smile as he waved his right hand in three circles in front of himself before he levitated off the building roof and flying down towards the villain.

Down below, people had either continued running or- if they were further away from the rampager- had looked up to see many different people suddenly appear on the streets or fly down.

Costume wearing people. Heroes.

From a civilians perspective, it was either a blessing or a feeling of dread if they recognized these heroes as not being properly regestured under federal law.

The quick conversion against the villain felt like seconds if you were a civilian. It was loud. It was terrifying. The heroes were shouting, moving quickly and attacking with powerful abilities, magic or other more primitive weapons, such as guns or tridents or swords.

Bolt sprinted up, trident in hand. The villain was going down.

Watcher watched the action as if it were in slow motion as the villain suddenly got projectiled back into a bunch of vehicles. He cringed ever so slightly.

The villain did not rise back up.

"Jesus fuck, Bolt!" Radioactive proclaimed, throwing his hands up into the air a bit. "We're the good guys! Not the anti-heroes!"

Bolt turned and shot a glare at Radioactive. "Oh fuck off! I didn't hit him that hard!"

Watcher had his hands clutched to fists, hovering above the ground. "This isn't the time you two!" He yelled back.

Frost had quickly but carefully started to approach the down villain. "Just hold onto your asses! Damn!"

"Frost! You crazy bitch! Don't just run up to a villian! You don't know if their faking or not!" FireStar called out, running after her.

"Guys we-"

"The hell are you talking about?!" Radio yelled, appraoching Bolt, aka the Lightning Theif.

Bolt stood tall, glaring down at the shorter hero. "The hell are you bitching about? The villains down, the day's saved!"

Watcher fully turned to the two. "Oh my gods. Stop! Both of you!"

"Guys the-"

"HOLY HELL, FROST!"

All eyes suddenly turned back to Frost and FireStar.

The villain was once again up, and this time it had Frost in its hand. FireStar had been knocked down.

The Jangler audibly yelped out, throwing his hands out infront of him to cast out a spell. "Hold on I've got you!"

The villian gave out a yell like roar then threw Frost at the magic caster.

The two heroes collided with each other and fell to the ground.

Watcher, FireStar, Bolt, Radioactive and Reaper all turned to attack the now replenished villain.

The five of the rogue heroes all ran/flew for the villian. But none of them clashed with the villain. Nothing moved.

The area around them, including the buildings around them had turned red.

Watcher mentally cursed as suddenly a red wall pushed all of the rouge heroes back and away from the villian.

Mere seconds later, the all too familiar redstone hero landed down with his jet boots and mechanical Redstone powered wings and armor. Reaction. Black colored hair flowed in the wind as he approached the villain at a walking pace.

The rampager let out another yell like roar before charging at the Redstoner.

With speed Watcher had never seen the hero possess before, Reaction summoned a red bow staff and dodged, striking proficiently and effectively.

Within another few moments, the villain went down again. And this time stayed down.

The red walls came down and the rouge heroes were once again give free range of motion of their limbs.

Watcher locked eyes with Reaction. Though his mask hid his eyes, Watcher still felt like Reaction was slicing him down four sizes with a disappointed look he was giving.

"Watcher, FireStar, Frost, Jangler, Radioactive, Bolt, Reaper." He addressed. "You all need to come with me." Reaction ordered firmly, not breaking eye contact with the Watcher.

1) The hero Admin becomes the first ever public appeared super hero and get great approval.

2) More super powered humans appear publicly.

3) The Admin creates a super hero like team/league to fight villains and bad guys.

4) Its the golden era for the world. Many other superheros are invited to join Admin's team. The final ones including, Watcher, Plague and FireStar.

5) Suddenly drama is filled once the first of many alien attacks floods across the planet. It tests the heroes loyalty and reasoning. Along with their morals.

6) The final alien invasion takes place. The war leaves thousands of people killed and thousands more without homes.

7) Governments calls the heroes into question.

8) The government's pass a hero registration law so that all super powered beings that want to be heroes, must be registered under the government and follow strict orders. Or risk imprisonment.

9) Admin's league of heroes disbands due to major conflicts and inner fighting within the team.
