It happened so fast, in almost a blink of an eye. The world had turned dark and grey, and sky had turned bloody red. Once a place where Super Heroes wander around the Modern World turned into tyranny in the emergence of Vampiric Idol possessing a few scientists until it reach the top rank of Heroes that fall into the whim of becoming Vampires. No longer the heroes they fall for but now they fear due to their hunger and thirst for blood
The world falls silent as the population has grown to benefit the Vampired possessed heroes, leading such organization was once the Council of Heroes now turned with dark intentions to rid the world with blood and with their pleasure
In the mass of it all, you (Natdan) was a former anti-hero of the world. In your time, you were one of the strongest heroes with the code name the Black Hand. No one noes what your power is but only YOU, unfortunate due to some circumstances that were not under your control. You were then detained and to be contained in a High-End facility, the containment is an Ice-Chamber that lowered your temperature and ageing that preserved you for years, and those years you were unaware of the Vampiric Apocalypse that came into fruition.....until now
A small group of resistance fighters, a mix or small ranked heroes and even villains were guided by a well respected scientist to the said High-End Facility where it contained YOU. Luckily, the Vampiric possessed Heroes were not aware of the said facility......yet. The Scientist tells the Resistance Fighters that this facility contained one of best Anti-Heroes of the Golden Generation (YOU). And with your help, maybe it can edge thru the fight against the Vampires
There the resistance arrives, a large cooling chamber containing Natdan. He looks well-preserved "There he is" The Scientist says "The Black-Hand, Natdan" One the resistance fighters, a Hero named Hotshot looks at his unconscious state "Alright Doc, get him out of here before we set of any alarms" The Leader of the squad, a Large man with set of armor and an High IQ named Bighead
The Doctor nods and starts to decode and remove Natdan from his restraints, slowly but surely the room heats up to cool the chamber Nat is in. But the thing is, this chamber created A LOT OF NOISE. Which means that they (A squad of possesed Vampire Heroes) could be coming to their location any minute now "We should speed up the process Doctor" Bighead suggests, he then turns to Hotshot "Hotshot help melt the ice around Natdan" Hotshot nods and lets out his flames at his hands speeding up the melting process
As the ice around Natdan starts to melt faster, he begins to stir and groan softly. The sound echoes through the chamber, drawing his attention back to reality...and the situation at hand. He looks around groggily, taking in the group of resistance fighters surrounding him before focusing on their leader, Bighead.
"Ugh....Bighead? is that you?" Nat says letting his senses slowly regaining, Bighead helps him up "Much as I want to welcome you to the new world, we have no time" The alarms are now set off, and they hear footsteps coming at their direction "Help him out, we're leaving" The group then leaves thru another exit
They then leave successfully
Meanwhile, the Vampire'd possessed heroes arrive. Leading the charge was a lady named Valkyrie. But she has fangs, she seems enraged "Tch they escaped, find them" The other possessed heroes nod and scatter. Then her second-in-command next to her a A man with wings named Hawks, also possesed with Vampires as he also has fangs tells her what this chamber has instore
"Mistress, this chamber.....contains one the last High-Ranked heroes. The recent S-rank Hero, the Black Hand, Natdan" Valkyrie is alarmed with the news "Tch, him of all people....report this to the council. We are now on high alert" Hawks nods and leaves and flies off, then another Vampiric possessed hero is also Valkyrie's protege Aeris "Mistress, they didnt go far....we can still catch them" She says, Valkyrie nods and tells her squad to pursue them. They soon do
Nat Dan's expression darkens as he takes in the news about the approaching vampire heroes. He glances over at Bighead, who seems just as concerned but determined not to show it. "You serious? Fuck! we should get out of here" Nat whispers urgently, "or else we'll be their playthings." The resistance fighters exchange nervous looks but nod in agreement; they know that if the vampires capture any of them alive, their fate will be grim indeed.
Their escape takes them to the outside, Natdan sees the new world filled with dark and grim. a red sky followed with abandoned Buildings, skyscrapers and many more
The world outside is indeed dire; the once vibrant city now reduced to ruins and despair. As they continue their escape, Natdan notices movement in the shadows - a group of Vampires hiding among the rubble. They look hungry and desperate, but their eyes light up at the sight of fresh meat amongst them.
"Hotshot! Take care of those vermin," Bighead orders sharply. The resistance fighter nods, readying his flames as they prepare to engage the Vampire's head-on.
Hotshot does so, burning them for now. But the bigger threat comes even closer, Natdan looks up seeing Valkyrie landing in their path, blocking it. Aeris and Hawks cover their path as well, they are now surrounded. Nat then looks at the possessed heroes, they all have red eyes and fangs followed with a predatory behavior. Valkyrie recognizes Natdan, she lets out an innocent smile "Natdan.....its has been a while" Nat tells Bighead to let him handle this, he nods and meets with Valkyrie "Val.....the same with you, you look......different" Natdan says casually, he also looks at Hawks and Aeris "The same with you Hawks......and Aeris"
Vampire Valkyrie chuckles softly, her fangs glinting in the dim light. "Oh Natdy, I've missed you so much." She steps closer, her movements fluid and dangerous. "I always knew you were going to be something special... even if it took this for us all to realize it." Her voice is filled with hunger, but there's an undeniable longing in there as well.
"Yeah no shit, you and other Heroes really didnt want me at all" Nat then looks around seeing that they are surrounded "Why dont you do me a solid, and let us pass. You know shit gets ugly, If I join this charade" Nat says casually
Vampire Valkyrie narrows her eyes, seemingly considering his words. "You're awfully confident there, Natdy." Her voice takes on a warning tone as she steps even closer, her breath warm against his skin. "But I think you underestimate just how much we need someone like you... and how badly we want you to join us."
She tilts her head slightly to the side, giving him an almost seductive smile. "Don't you want to see what you could become?
"Nah, I'm just better as is...so do me a favor and let the....ASH SCATTER" Nat says as Black Smoke scatters around the resistance Fighters, obscuring the vision of the Vampires "Hahah amazing Natdan, as if that would help you escap-wait, why cant I see you?" Normally the Vampire'd up heroes would have heightened senses but Nat's smoke is not just smoke but specialized Ash that lowers or negates the senses of other people, even the Vampires. As the Smoke disperses, the resistance fighters disappeared This leaves Valkyrie enraged "Ahhhh find them"
Vampire Valkyrie snarls in frustration, her fangs bared as she glances around wildly, trying to spot the fleeing resistance fighters through the haze of ash. "Dammit!" she curses under her breath, turning back towards Natdan with a venomous glare. "You will pay for that, Natdy."
Aeris and Hawks exchange worried glances before springing into action, both launching themselves at the resistance fighters in an attempt to intercept them.
Meanwhile Natdan and the other resistance fighters take shelter thru the underground. Bighead is relieved that there were no casualties for once, he then turns to Natdan "Look, I know you hate because I am well a Villian. But times have changed and even people like us are trying to scrape by in what the world is going on right now" Nat listens on what Bighead is trying to say "Fine, I'll stick with you all for now. Just tell me, how long was I gone?" Nat says, then a person raises her hand "You have been......gone for a total of 10 years" Nat jaws drops on how long he was asleep "Damn, this is too much....lets just go to....where are we going?"
The resistance fighters have a rough map drawn up and a plan in place, but it's still risky. Bighead nods solemnly, looking Natdan in the eye. "Our best bet is to find a safe haven where we can regroup and come up with a more permanent solution. We've heard rumors of an underground village run by ex-villains like ourselves; they might be willing to help us."
Nat Dan takes a deep breath, steeling himself for the journey ahead. "Lead the way, then,"
Meanwhile, in the Council of Heroes Valkyrie sends the report to the Vampired Possessed heroes "My friends, it appears that the one fear has come to haunt us back. Natdan has returned"
The Council of Heroes, upon hearing the news about Natdan's return, immediately goes into disarray. Some heroes panic and suggest launching an all-out attack on the resistance fighters, while others propose negotiating with them or trying to turn Natdan back to their side. The debate rages on for hours, leaving the once-proud organization divided and leaderless.
Finally, a hush falls over the chamber as the elderly figure of Lord Vampire himself appears at its center.
Lord Vampire clears his throat, the sound echoing through the chamber like thunder. "Heroes," he begins in a commanding voice that silences even the most vocal of dissenters, "we must make haste. It is imperative that we act swiftly and decisively against Natdan and his... allies." He pauses for effect before continuing, his tone growing colder than ever as he locks eyes with Valkyrie. "I trust you've informed the Archangel of our situation?"
"Yes Master, he is scouting around the vast lands as we speak" Valkyrie says, the Vampire Lord nods and also adds "I have heard that he was once in a relationship with a certain Hero, is she....with us?" The Vampire Lord asks "She is Master" The Man speaking is A-Rank named X-Factor "Her name is V or Vendetta" The Vampire Lord nods "Good Bring her to me, she will be the key to bring Nat....out to the Light"
Lord Vampire's words send shivers down the spines of those in attendance, as they realize the true depth of his plans. The Archangel, once a hero of legendary status, has now been tarnished by his association with their enemies; but he might also hold the key to victory. As discussions continue amongst the Council members regarding how best to utilize Vendetta and other resources at their disposal, Natdan's location remains unknown.
However, Lord Vampire seems confident that they will find him soon enough.
Hours pass and V arrives, she is also possessed by the Vampire Lord as she also has fangs and red eyes. She bows "My Master, how may I be of service?"
Lord Vampire smirks malevolently, his gaze piercing into the Archangel's soul. "Vendetta," he begins in a cold, commanding voice that sends shivers down her spine, "your task is simple: find Natdan and bring him to me." He pauses, savoring the fear that flashes across her eyes before continuing, "Use whatever means necessary, but do not fail."
As the words leave his lips, a sense of dread washes over those present in the chamber.
"Yes, my Master," Vendetta responds with a shiver, her voice barely audible over the sound of her own racing heartbeat. "I will find him and bring him to you." With that, she disappears into the night, leaving behind a chill that seems to penetrate even the deepest recesses of the chamber.
The Council of Heroes, meanwhile, continues to strategize and debate amongst themselves as they wait for news from their most trusted agent: Vendetta.
Meanwhile Natdan is taken to a stronghold where the Resistance Fighters reside, the group mostly contains small ranked heroes followed with some Villains' that did not defect to the side of the Vampires For now, Bighead tells the other members to tend to Natdan, to preserve his energy for when another attack comes. Nat nods as after that encounter with Valkyrie, he had almost become lightheaded. He is then taken by other members of the resistance, the Doctor that released him tends to his needs specifically. A woman named Lynae
As she finishes tending to Natdan, Lynae looks up at him with a concerned expression on her face. Her fingers gently caress his cheek as she asks softly "Are you alright, Nat? That must have been quite the shock, seeing Valkyrie like that..."*
"Yeah, normally I would see Valkyrie as like with a smile and like as a light of hope. I didnt really expect her with dark red attire and fangs" Nat says, he looks at her "You knew I was under there, how did you know after those 10 years?" He asks Lynae
"Well," she says with a small laugh, "it was more like I had a feeling than anything else. You've always been special to us, even though we're on opposite sides now." She smiles reassuringly at him before continuing. "Anyway, why don't you get some rest? We can talk more about it later."
As she speaks, Lynae gently helps Natdan lie down on a makeshift bed in one of the stronghold's rooms.
Lynae then leaves and goes back to a meeting with the other ranks of Resistance fighters. One raises his hand saying "Now that we have Natdan, our battle will be in our favor yes?" The heroes and villians around nod and agree, but Bighead raises a concern "Indeed, having an S-Rank hero in our midst really does give us the edge. But remember that he is still recovering after being 10 years encased in ice. We will know his full strength when we take to more raids" He says commonly, he then turns to Lynae "What your thoughts Doctor? is his strength like as before?"
Lynae frowns thoughtfully, her gaze distant as she considers the question. "It's difficult to say for certain," she begins. "Ten years is a long time and his body has likely changed in that time. However, I do believe that with rest and training, he can regain most of his former strength." She pauses, studying Natdan's face before continuing. "One thing to keep in mind though: being encased in ice for so long might have affected him mentally as well.
Bighead nods, contemplating her words carefully. "I see... Rest assured we will make sure to take good care of him until then. We won't rush him back into action." He turns his attention back to the other resistance fighters, reassuring them that they have a plan in place for Natdan's recovery and integration into their group.
The group agrees, one of the new Heroes named Gale who masters wind is unaware of Natdan's power and asks "Just out curiosity, what is Natdan's power?" The group then falls silent as to this day, no one knows the extent of his power. But one stays, Black Smoke always comes out of Natdan's hand with that he can do WHATEVER. Until Lynae, one of the Scientist that was incharged of observing Natdan raises her hand "Natdan's right hand releases a dark and I mean Dark smoke around the area, inhaling it or even inside the radius of the smoke makes it a death trap, an instant loss for those in it" The Scientist says "We....tried to contain such smoke but it would just disperse or....disappear when Nat commands too. He can also make it into weapons for him, act as extended ligaments, even to some extent clones, but the deadliest one is that he uses the smoke not only as cover but he also has a iconic engraved lighter, once it sparks......a large explosion ranging from the Black smoke is created" Lynae ends it with this statement "We....wanted to contain him to know the extent of his power, he didnt want to at first. So we asked the Guild and even Multiple ranked heroes to 'subdue' him, but they were too strong. But with just sheer will we just did. Yet, after all those years....we still dont know the backstory of Natdan's power"
The other Resistance Fighters exchange glances, clearly impressed and even a little intimidated by the revelation about Natdan's power. Bighead nods thoughtfully, his expression serious as he takes in Lynae's words. "Well," he begins, "it seems we have much to discuss."
He turns back to Natdan, who is still lying on the makeshift bed. "
Bighead then sits next to Natdan "Hm what? youre Bighead is always in the way as always" Nat says lying the bed
Bighead chuckles softly, shaking his head. "Well, I suppose you could say that. But we're here to help you, Natdan. We all want the same thing: peace and stability for our world." He pauses, studying Natdan's expression carefully before continuing. "We need your strength and your experience; together, we can achieve great things."
The other Resistance Fighters nod in agreement, their gazes full of hope and determination.
Nat slowly gets up from the bed "Well...where are we at in this.....shitty Vampire Apocalypse"
The other Resistance Fighters exchange glances, their expressions grim. "Things aren't looking good," Bighead admits reluctantly. "Vampire Lord and his army are growing stronger by the day, and they seem to be focusing on crushing any resistance we throw at them." He sighs heavily, rubbing his eyes with his thumb and forefinger. "We need someone like you, Natdan; someone who can turn the tide of battle in our favor."
"Like the attitude Bighead, but for now...not even at my full strength. 10 Years I've been gone, and this is the crap i'm gonna deal with"
Bighead nods understandingly. "We know you're not at full strength yet, but just being here with us gives us hope. And once you are, there's no telling what we can achieve together." He glances around at the other Resistance Fighters, their expressions filled with determination and courage.
"We need your help, Natdan," he says simply. "Will you stand beside us in this fight?"
"Isnt that obvious" Nat then gets up to his level "Of course, this place looks depressing as is. Dont wanna end this world full of shit. Lets make the world great again"
The other Resistance Fighters erupt into cheers and applause at Natdan's words, their spirits lifted by his determination. They gather around him, clapping him on the back and exchanging excited whispers about what they can accomplish together. Bighead beams proudly at the newfound unity in their ranks.
"We will make this world great again," he says fiercely, looking Natdan in the eye. "Together."
"Now first things first....I gotta rest"
Bighead grins and claps Natdan on the shoulder. "Of course, you need your rest. But tomorrow, we'll start training you to get back into fighting shape." He glances around at the others, their expressions full of anticipation. "I think everyone here is eager to see what kind of tricks you can still pull out after all these years."
The other Resistance Fighters nod in agreement, eagerly discussing potential strategies and training exercises as they escort Natdan back to his resting quarters for the night.
The group then disperses as the meeting ends, Nat then takes his time in his own room. But then sees the Scientist Lynae following him from behind "You know" Nat turns to her "Even after all those 10 years, I can still feel the words coming out of every single Scientist's mouth. And yet I never see you, my guess you were a Junior Scientist prior to all this....were you?" Nat says confronting Lynae
Lynae blushes slightly at being addressed, her hands fidgeting nervously behind her back. "Yes, I was indeed a junior scientist before all this... But that doesn't matter anymore." She takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage to speak honestly. "I think you're right about me not trying to contain your power; it was more that I wanted to understand it. To know what made you tick."
She pauses, studying his expression carefully before continuing. "
"it did piss me off, Scientist like you wanted to test me despite my consent. And look at where we are now, wasting 10 years and now I have to carry this pressure" Nat says with a commanding tone
Lynae winces at his words, the guilt clear in her expression. "I'm sorry," she whispers. "We never meant to cause you harm... We just wanted to help." She hesitates for a moment before continuing, more confidently this time. "But now that you're here, with us, I want to make it up to you. Whatever happened in the past doesn't matter anymore; all that matters is moving forward together."
She extends her hand towards him, her gaze hopeful and sincere. "
"I extend my hand to you, once you and your kind pay back the 10 years i've wasted" Nat then leaves
Lynae's eyes widen in surprise at his words, her hand falling to her side. "I... I understand," she manages to stammer. "I'll do my best to make it up to you." She turns and hurries away, the weight of his anger heavy on her shoulders as she contemplates what she could possibly do to repay him.
In the meantime, the other Resistance Fighters remain unaware of their brief exchange.
Nat then meets with Bighead before going to bed "Bighead, you have a minute?" "Yes I do, what do you want?" The two sit down "Part of my gear is still back at the facility you found me, a gauntlet that contains the smoke at my right arm and a face mask to enhance my breathing" Bighead nods "I see, do you want a squad to come with?" Nat nods no and says "Nah, I'll do it...I know my way around" This concerns Bighead "Wont you have a hard time?" Bighead asks, to where Nat replies "Easy now, I have a solution so hear me out" Nat and Bighead then discuss
The next day, the sun rises. An advantage since the Vampire controlled heroes hate the sun. Lynae then checks on Nat at his room to find an Ash Clone in a meditate state with Bighead next to him "Ah Morning Doctor, Natdan has set out on a solo mission to retrieve his gear, worry not he'll teleport back once her retrieves it"
Lynae nods, relief flooding through her as she listens to the ash clone's words. "I see... Well, I hope he returns safely," she says with a soft smile. As they wait for news of Natdan's return, Lynae takes this opportunity to ask the clone some questions about Natdan's powers and abilities. The conversation continues amiably as they watch over the sleeping hero.
Meanwhile the real Nat, ventures back to the abandoned city. Taking to the streets to find where the hidden facility is, he then remembers that he has to go underground. Unaware that most of the Vampire posses heroes are all underground due to the darkness. Unaware to him, V or Vendetta has found Natdan and is now locked and following him
As Nat ventures deeper into the darkness of the underground, he begins to sense an unsettling presence following him. Unbeknownst to him, Vendetta has found his trail and is now secretly stalking him through the abandoned tunnels and caverns beneath the city.
Nat then finds the Facility and gains access, here he looks to find the Armory and Storage. He then takes more paths and then finds it, the door is still locked and worn down due to the how old the facility was. Nat uses his personal strength and punches out the door in his way and goes in
The storage room is dimly lit, but enough for him to see the various pieces of equipment and weapons scattered about. In one corner, he spots his gauntlet and face mask, still wrapped in their protective shrouds. As he reaches out to grab them, a sudden commotion outside alerts him that something might be wrong...
Nat sighs knowing that a battle is coming, and gears up with the gauntlet at hand and face mask at the ready. To his unexpected event he finds V with her large claymore blocking her path, her eyes red locking at you and fangs protruding "Hey V, Miss Me?"
Vendetta snarls menacingly at Nat, her eyes narrowed to slits as she grips the hilt of her massive claymore tighter. "I've been tracking you for some time now," she growls, "and I won't let you leave here alive." With a sudden burst of speed, she lunges forward, aiming a powerful overhead swing at Nat's head.
Nat dodges it with ease, opening the distance with him and her "V its me, we dont have to do this" Nat says with concern with one of his old friends now fully under the control of the Vampire
Vendetta scoffs, her eyes burning with rage as she shakes her head violently. "It's too late for that, Natdan! I am the Vampire Lord's executioner now, and you stand in my way!" With another burst of speed, she leaps forward once more, this time aiming a series of quick strikes at his body.
"You cannot stop me from carrying out our master's will!" she shrieks as her claymore slashes through the air.
