79. Camo strikes back

12 years ago, Virginia.

It's dark night at the local zoo, a van pulls up and the door opens to reveal Randy, Tom, Jax, Renso and Erin exiting the van. "So why are at we a zoo?" Jax asked.

"There's been reports of a strange weird creature at the zoo." Randy said.

"Sounds like fun." Renso said.

"Don't get cocky Renso." Randy growled. "A mission is a mission and you'll handle it by the book. I'll be at the bar. Meet me there when your done."

"What do we do the 'creature'?" Tom asked.

"Whatever you see fit." Randy said. "Try not to die." He is then surrounded by wind and flies off.

"Does he ever do anything?" Erin asked. Jax and Tom exchange a glance before shrugging. "Figures. Let's just go."

The team all entered the zoo to look for the creature. "Ok we'll split up and find the creature." Tom said.

"Tom That never works in the movies." Jax said.

"This isn't a movie, this is real life. So split up!" Tom replied.

"Um, I don't think we need to." Renso said.

"And why do you say that?" Tom asked with an annoyed tone.

"Because I think it found us." Renso said as he looked over Tom's head. Tom turns and looks at one of enclosures where he sees a man-sized lizard-like creature perched on top of the enclosure glaring and growling at them.

"What the hell is that?" Tom asked. Before anyone can respond, the lizard leaps off the enclosure and lands right on Tom who falls with a grunt. Jax then rushes forward and tries to hit a left hook on the lizard who avoids it but then uses his tail to pull Jax's feet out from under him.

Renso attempts to capture with his extended limbs but the lizard dodges the limbs and tries to run away. Come on!" Renso shouted as he and Erin ran to chase after the lizard.

Erin looked back and looks at Tom and Jax. "What about them?!" Erin asked.

"They'll be fine!" Renso argued back. "Come on we can't let that thing get away."

"Well that was something." Jax groaned.

"Shut up Jax." Tom growled.

Renso and Erin ran into the bird enclosure where they lost sight of the lizard man. "Damn it." Renso growled. "Lost him."

"Let's split up." Erin suggested. "We might be able to corner him."

"Good idea." Renso said and the two splinter up to find the lizard man.

Erin made her way down the hallway looking for any sign of the lizard man. But so far she found nothing. "Where are you?" She whispered. She then hears a noise from around the corner. As she rounds the corner, she comes face to face with Renso causing her to let out a small shriek.

"Easy it's me." Renso said.

"I know." Erin growled. "You startled me is all. Find anything?" Renso shakes his head.

"Nope." Renso said. "Probably snuck out. Let's check somewhere else." He puts his arm around Erin and begins to guide her out when another Renso comes into view.

"Hey Erin did you find anything yet?" The other Renso asked but stopped when he saw Erin and another Renso. "Who's your handsome friend?"

"Renso?" Erin questioned as she looked at the two Rensos. "What's going on around here?!"

"Erin, Don't listen time this faker, I'm the real Renso!" Renso shouted.

"He's the monster!" The other Renso shouted. "I'm the real Renso!"

Erin steps away from one of the Rensos and stares at both of them before getting an idea. "Before we came here I gave Renso something." She says. "Pull it out." One of the Rensos shrugs and reaches into his pocket where he pulls out a necklace.

"I believe this is it." Renso says. "You wanted me to hang onto it so it wouldn't break." Erin and Renso smile at each other before turning to the fake. He opens his mouth to say something but stops.

"Eh screw it." The fake said before launching himself forward and tackling Renso to the ground where the fake rolled off him and stood on all fours. The fake then starts to grow scales on his body as well as three thin fins on top of his head. The lizard standa up and five claws grow from his fingertips. The lizard let's out a snarl.

"I'm gonna turn him into a lizard-skin boot." Renso growled.

The lizard lunges towards the duo, until Erin and Renso dodges the lizard. Erin then grows in size and the lizard snarls in response.

"Let's see what you got." Erin said.

The lizard looks like he's about to make a move when he suddenly runs off with Renso and Erin staring after him confused. "What the hell just happened?" Renso asked.

"I have no idea." Erin admitted. "But did you see that? He turned into you."

"Yeah I saw that. He even sounded like me." Renso said.

"Erin, Renso. Report in!" Tom said over a walkie talkie.

"We found the lizard." Renso replied on his walkie talkie. "But he can turn into anyone so be careful who you trust."

"Right." Tom said as he and Jax checked the reptile house.

"Is it considered profiling with the fact that we're checking the reptile house for a lizard man?" Jax asked.

"No I think it's more logical to check here." Tom replied. He then starts to head into another room. "I'm gonna check in this room."

"Whatever." Jax replied. He checked one of the tanks when he feels something touch his shoulder. He turns around to see Tom. "Back already? You weren't in there long."

"It was just a quick look." Tom replied.

"Really?" Jax said with suspicion in his voice. "A quick look?"

"Yeah. Just a quick look." Tom replied. "Now let's get out of here." Tom begins to walk out but Jax stops him.

"Now hold on a second." Jax said. "Where's the rush? Let's have a snack." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a can of peanuts. He opens it up and places one in his mouth before offering it to Tom. "Have some."

"Don't mind if I do." Tom said as he took a peanut and placed it in his mouth. "Tastes good."

"Yeah they're salted." Jax said. "But here's the thing. You wouldn't know that because you don't eat peanuts because your allergic to nuts." Tom stops chewing and looks at Jax in shock. Before he can react, Jax hits him with a ice blast sending him flying.

Tom hits a wall on impact and morphs back to the lizard. "Tom I found it!" Jax called out as he fired another ice blast at the lizard, but the monster dodges the blast.

Jax kept firing his ice blasts at the lizard but, the creature kept running away. "Hold still!" Jax groaned.

The lizard keeps dodging the blasts and jumps onto the wall before launching himself off the wall and into Jax. Tom runs into the room and sees the lizard on top of Jax. "Holy hell you did find him." He said as rushes in to join the fray. The lizard leaves Jax and turns his attention to Tom. Tom throws a swing but the lizard crouches down to avoid it before hitting a backflip kick right onto Tom's chin.

Tom recovers from the attack and tries land a punch on the lizard dodges the punches and then smacks Tom with his tail and runs away.

"We can't let that thing escape!" Tom shouted.

As the creature runs to the door, a arm stretched out and grabs him by the tail. The creature turned to see Renso with his arm stretched out. "You're not going anywhere." He said. The lizard let's out a snarl and swings his tail which swings Renso around until he crashes into a trash can. "That's one strong tail." Jax then steps out of the reptile house with a scowl on his face.

"Enough games!" He shouts as he arms begin to get coated in ice. "Let's cool you down!"

Jax fired ice beam at the lizard, but the creature dodges the ice beam. "Hold still!" Jax shouted.

The lizard keeps dodging the ice beam, and begins to head for the exit. "It's heading for the exit!" Tom exclaimed.

The lizard is almost to the exit when he is suddenly grabbed and picked up off the ground. He looks to see Erin now giant sized holding him in her hand. "Alright that's enough." She said. The lizard tries to free himself from her grasp doing everything he could but Erin wasn't budging. After a few minutes, he stopped squirming. "Had enough?" The lizard looks at her and sighs.

"Yeah I'm done." The lizard replied.

"Huh. It speaks." Tom said.

"I'm not a it, I'm a he." said the lizard.

"You're a boy?" Erin asked.

"Why did you attacked us?" Jax asked.

"Well you walk into my home uninvited what did you expect?" The lizard says. "A warm welcome?"

"You live here?" Tom asked. And the lizard nodded.

"Home sweet home." He says before looking at Erin. "You can put me down now. Don't worry I ain't gonna run. I'm pooped." Erin releases the lizard who lands on his feet while Erin shrinks down to normal size. "You guys gave me a hell of a fight. Usually I just appear and intruders run away at once. You guys got my respect."

"So who are you?" Renso asked.

"Honestly I don't know." The lizard replied. "I don't know who I am or where I'm from. I woke up one day looking like this. No ID, no memory and no wallet. I'm pretty sure I was mugged."

"So you have no memory of your past? That's sad." Jax said.

"How do you blend in with the crowd?" Tom asked.

"I shapeshift into other people. It takes a lot of focus and it's never easy on the first try." said the Lizard.

"Well he nailed Renso." Erin told them. "I was completely convinced that he was Renso."

"I've had practice." The lizard said as he climbed up onto a nearby exhibit. "Helps me go out and find some food."

"Sounds like hell." Jax comments. "So what was with the growling and snarling?"

"Sometimes the reptile instincts kick in and I have very little control." The lizard explained.

"Must get lonely here all by yourself." Erin said.

"Yeah, I do get lonely here in place." The lizard sighed.

"Why don't you leave?" Erin asked.

"And go where?" The lizard scoffed. "I step out I'll have the army on my tail. People don't see what's on the inside, they only see a monster."

"That would suck, then they would take you to a lab." Jax said.

"Can I speak to you guys for a second." Tom said.

The other three nod and the four huddle up. "So what do we do with him?" Renso asked.

"The mission was to find him." Tom replied. "We did that."

"But are we just gonna leave him to be all alone?" Erin asked. "He's like us. He's an outsider."

"I know. But what choice do we have?" Jax asked.

"But what will Randy think?" Tom asked.

"You saw his skills." Erin pointed out. "He was single handedly fighting the three of you like it was nothing. Plus, his powers could be useful on assignments."

"He does have everything Randy likes." Jax pointed out. "But does he even want to come with us?"

"We can ask him." Erin said. "We can't let him stay here and let him eat trash."

"Just so you know I don't eat trash!" The lizard called from his perch. "I'm not an animal." The four look at each other before breaking the huddle.

"So I take it you heard our whole conversation?" Tom called up to him.

"Heightened senses really help with that." The lizard replied. "So are sure about this? I mean, I'm not really much of a people person."

"So neither are we." Jax told him. "Look just come with us. You don't have to be alone man."

"Well sure. I'm in your little group." said the Lizard.

"Well you have to meet Randy and then find out that you're in." Tom said.

"Better than living here I guess." The lizard said before jumping off his perch and landing in front of them. He began to walk towards the exit when Tom stops him.

"What do you want us to call you?" He asks. "You need a name."

"Yeah I guess I do." The lizard said. He turns his head and smirks at them. "Call me Camo."

End flashback

In the Dungeon cafeteria, Camo sat at his table staring at his food while waiting for Climate, Aroma and Stretcher to get their food. As he waited he tried to figure out what his food actually was. "Maybe it's a meatloaf." He muttered. "Sure as hell doesn't smell like it."

Just then Aroma, Stretcher and Climate have arrived at Camo's table with their trays in hands as they sat down. "Hey Camo." Climate greeted.

"Hey." Camp greeted.

"So far I'm sick of he food here." Aroma complained.

"Hey it's your own fault your back in here." Stretcher pointed out as he took a bite of his food. "You're the one who wanted to go after Replicate and got caught by the L-Crew."

"You're one to talk." Aroma growled.

"Alright calm down before the guards decide to come over." Climate said. Just then two convicts come over and stand on either side of Camo.

"You gonna eat that?" One asked.

"Planned on it." Camo answered calmly.

"You won't mind if we have a bite would you?" The other asked.

"Actually I would." Camo replied.

"How about this? You can eat the flies near the garbage and we'll eat your lunch." The first convict said.

"Look he's not gonna trade. I suggest you beat it or I'll beat you two up here and now." Climate threatened.

"Jax I got this." Camo said before turning to one of the convicts. "How much are you willing to risk to get this crap? You willing to risk a limb?"

"Um no." The convict answered. "Why?"

"Well you see, the little power neutralizer generator just turns off our powers." Camo explained. "But we still have our natural skills. For me I still have my little friends." He holds up a fist and slowly opens it where the con sees that each finger has a sharp claw at the end. "My friends here are nice and sharp. So are you willing to risk losing a limb for my food?"

The two convicts didn't say anything, but they walked away. "Glad those guys are gone." said Aroma. "They wouldn't want to hit a woman."

"I doubt that Rachael." said Stretcher.

"It's amazing you keep those claws sharp." Climate compliments. "Especially since those two are part of that fascist gang in here."

"I ain't scared of nothing." Camo said. "Besides, I think we can that little gang. I mean look at us. We're awesome." After he said that Cline walks up.

"Gentlemen. Madam." Cline said with a respect tip of his hat to Aroma. "Sorry to interrupt."

"It's all good Cline." Climate assured him. "What's up?"

"I'm here to inform Camo that he has a visitor." Cline said.

"Who would want to see me?" Camo asked.

"I'm informed not to reveal your visitor's information." Cline said.

"I don't know how I feel about this." Camo said.

"Well I have to take you to your guest, like it or not it's my job." said Cline.

"Cline you're lucky I like ya." Camo sighed. "See you guys later." Camo begins to get up but Stretcher stops him.

"Hold on a second." Stretcher said. He motions for Camo to lean in which he does. "If this visitor is who I think it is, don't listen to anything he says." Camo nods and goes towards Cline.

"Let's get this over with." Camo says.

"As you wish." said Cline as he began to escort Camo to the visitor centre.

When Camo got to the visitor centre, he saw none other than Andrew Tetherby waiting for him. "You." He hissed as he approached Tetherby. "You're the scumbag that blackmailed Stretcher."

"Glad to hear that you've heard of me." Tetherby said. "Allow me to introduce you to my associate. Xander Marxly." Camo turns and sees Xander step out of the shadows.

"Greetings mate." Xander greeted.

"I heard about you!" Camo exclaimed. "You're the most dangerous hunter in the world!"

"I'm glad you heard about me." said Xander.

"No good things I can assure you." Camo growled as he stared down the hunter.

"You'd look good in my trophy room mate." Xander told him.

"Not interested." Camo snarled. He then turns to Tetherby. "As for you, I ain't interested in anything you have to offer. You've screwed over my friends enough. You tricked Aroma into controlling all the men in Royal Woods with promises to get her son back. I bet you had no interest in fulfilling your end of the deal. Plus you've Stretcher twice. You offered him money that he needed if he went after the mail. Then you blackmailed him into going after Replicate's family! It must eat you up inside knowing Climate turned you down. And he won't be the only one!"

"I'm not gonna blackmail you." said Tetherby and gave Xander a nod.

Xander pins Camo to the table. "What are you doing?!" Camo asked as he struggled to break free.

"Your gonna work for me weather you like it or not." Tetherby told him as he pulled out a metal collar.

""What the hell is that?" Camo demanded as he tried to get Xander off of him.

"A little assurance." Tetherby answered before clamping the collar on his neck. After he did so, Xander released the lizard. However as soon as he released Camo, the lizard struck. He immediately pounced on the hunter and slammed him into the wall. He then grabbed him by the throat and lifts him up.

"You're a good hunter Xander, I'll give you that." Camo said. "You used your foot to hold my tail down so I couldn't strike you. But, it appears you released me to soon. Let's see how many scars I can give you."

"I don't think so." Tetherby said as he pulled out a remote and pressed a button. The collar then lights up and Camo released Xander from his hold. Camo then begins twitching and shaking before grabbing his head while screaming in agony. He then stops and when he opens his eyes they're glowing red. Then out of nowhere Camo starts laughing like a madman. "How do you feel Camo?"

"I feel great Tetherby." Camo smirked.

"Good to hear. Now do you have any plans Camo?" Tetherby asked.

"Yeah, break out of this dump!" Camo said.

"Well you know where the door is mate." Xander said as he opened up the visiting centre's door. Camo then gets on all fours and runs through it. When he gets into the hallway, he sees a couple guards.

"Alright Camo time to go to your cell." One guard ordered.

"No." Camo said with a sinister smile before pouncing on the guards while laughing maniacally.

Meanwhile at the warehouse Lincoln is throwing fireballs at some bottles and tin cans. "Hey you should be happy, you won the trial." Lincoln looked and sees Clyde.

"Oh hey Clyde." Lincoln said. "I am happy, I'm just practicing my skills so we can bring in the escaped villains."

"Well there's been no signs of the Terror Crew since Ronnie Anne and Bobby pissed them off." Clyde said. "And there's still no sign of the other villains on the loose."

"Lincoln! Come in here!" Luan called from inside the base. Lincoln and Clyde run into the base to see Luan, Sam, Lola and Lisa gathered by the television.

"What's up?" Lincoln asked.

"Camo broke out of prison!" Luan told him. "According to the news, he attacked two guards before running out the door! And now he's attacking the city!"

"But that doesn't make sense." Lincoln pointed out. "That doesn't sound like something Camo would do."

"He can be unpredictable at times." Lisa said. "Remember our first encounter with him."

"Yeah he posed as me and managed to put up a fight with us." Lincoln said.

"Guys Camo just slashed a street light in half and it fell on a car that was delivering our pizza!" Mr. Cuddles reported.

"Oh hell no!" The Louds say in unison.

"No buddy messes with a Loud's pizza!" Lola exclaimed.

"Damn right!" Luan agreed. "Let's go!" The Louds press their watches and walk out of the base leaving Sam standing their dumbfounded. She then pulls out a notebook.

"Note to self. Don't mess with the Louds and their pizza." Sam said as she wrote it down.

"Hurry up Sam!" Ms. Appear called.

"Coming!" Sam called before pressing her watch and running out after then leaving Mr. Cuddles and Clyde.

"Should I order another pizza?" Mr. Cuddles asked.

Camo jumps on top of a car and hisses as citizens run away from the monster. "Run you fools, run!" Camo shouted. Then he spots a cop aiming her gun towards him, he lunges from the car to the cop and pins her down. Right before Camo was about to hit the cop, he gets smacked by a crystal bat.

Camo is pushed back by the attack as he looks up to see Crystal Princess. "I'm going to ask you kindly to go back to your cell or else you're going back with bandages." said Crystal Princess.

However much to her surprise, Camo just laughed. "Pain. Sweet sweet pain." He said. "Hit me again!" Crystal Princess took a step back.

"What is wrong with you?" Crystal Princess asked. "You want me to hit you?"

"Yes!" Camo hissed. "It feels good."

"Man prison can really change a guy." said Crystal Princess.

"But guys, he's acting like a psychopath!" Firecracker said from above. "We gotta take him down!"

"You're right. Let's kick his ass." Crystal Princess said. "You ruined my pizza!"

"Oh I'm gonna ruin much more than a pizza princess." Camo said as he started to circle the young hero on all fours. He then stopped and flashed her a sadistic smile before suddenly lunging at her claws first. Crystal Princess rolls out of the way as she saw that Camo landed on all fours. "I like it when they run."

"I ain't running!" Crystal Princess retorted as she formed to blades.

"I love a challenge." Camo smirked as Crystal Princess charged towards Camo.

Camo then began to slash wildly at Crystal Princess who did her best to block the lizard's claws with her blades. However, Camo began to slash at her faster and faster until he was able to get a hit on her that sent her sliding into a car. "He's so fast." Crystal Princess groaned. She then saw Camo approach her.

"I thought the little princess had more power." Camo taunted. "A pity really. I thought you'd be tougher. I thought you'd be better. Or maybe you believe you aren't enough. That someone is better." He then shapeshifted and Crystal Princess found herself face to face with Wildgirl.

"What?" Crystal Princess gasped.

"You know I'm better than you Crystal Princess." The fake Wildgirl taunted. "I'm smarter, I'm stronger, I'm nicer and my powers are better. In fact you're never gonna be as good as me. You'll always be the selfish brat you've always been!"

"No you lie!" Crystal Princess shouted.

"Don't listen to him Crystal Princess." Firecracker shouted.

The fake Wildgirl looked up where she's met with a kick to the face from Firecracker which forces the fake Wildgirl back to Camo. "Hello Firecracker. It's been too long." The lizard said.

"The last time we fought you placed me in a locker!" Firecracker shouted.

"Aw the little candle is upset." Camo mocked.

"Damn right I am!" Firecracker shouts as he fires a barrage of fireballs which Camo maneuvered around until he leaps onto the building behind.

"Maybe feeling a little angry." Camo taunted as he slowly crawled on the building. "But you don't want to let loose now." He then leaps down and lands on his feet. "You remember what happened last time, don't you?" He then morphed again and Firecracker was face to face with Irate.

"I was let loose." The fake Irate said. "I was set free and you were left helpless and broken."

"You won't be fooling me this team!" Firecracker said and tackled the fake Irate and began to beat him up until he was kicked off of the fake Irate by a double kick.

"Yet when I died. The people blamed you for the damage. Let me ask you a question. Do you still believe them or is it all a lie?" The fake Irate said.

"It was all a lie!" Firecracker shouts. "Right? It wasn't me that attacked the city but in a way it was. Maybe Jenny wasn't completely wrong."

"Or is she right." Fake Irate replied.

"Please stop." Firecracker begged. "Just stop!" However Firecracker didn't notice that Camo changed back to normal and raised his hand as he prepared to strike.

"Don't worry." Camo assured him. "I'll make all the pain go away." As he lowered his hand a forcefield popped up which caused his claws to bounce.

"I would prefer if you didn't." Ms. Appear said.

"Well if it isn't the clown." Camo said.

Ms. Appear forms two forcefield clubs and charges towards Camo and whacks Camo with her clubs a bunch of times. But as Camo felt the pain, he smirked and used his tail to grab Ms. Appear's ankle and smacks her to the ground.

He then swings his tail again and slams Ms. Appear into a car and then a mailbox. "Damn that tail is strong." Ms. Appear groaned.

"Come on up Ms. Appear, let's see if I can see those bruises and cuts unless you're hiding them." Camo mocked.

"Ok now you're just making assumptions." Ms. Appear growled as she stood up. Camo then begins to walk towards Ms. Appear.

"Am I?" Camo said before he starts laughing. "How about I give you some?" He then lunges at Ms. Appear who sidesteps him before covering her fists in forcefields and throwing a right hook but Camo bends backwards to avoid it before hitting a sweep kick on Ms. Appear.

"Alright enough games." Ms. Appear growled. "Alright everyone, converge on Camo. We need to bring him down."

"Way a head of you!" Genarocker shouted and punched Camo to the ground with her giant fist.

"Who the hell are you?" Camo asked.

"I'm the new girl." Genarocker said.

"Well you can be sliced to bits!" Camo said sadistically.

Genarocker uses her giant fists to smash Camo but he kept dodging the giant fists, once he dodges the final fist Firecracker and Crystal Princess both charge at him with their fists covered in their powers. But Camo uses his tail to grab Crystal Princess and throws her towards a brick wall and grabs Firecracker by the neck and attempts to slash him but Firecracker gives Camo a fiery left hook to the face.

Before Crystal Princess hit the wall on impact she was saved by Prodigy with her telekinesis, Crystal Princess forms a crystal version of Thor's hammer mjolnir and nods at Prodigy. Prodigy than launched Crystal Princess towards Camo and it hits him right in the chest, knocking him down to the ground, as Crystal Princess lands in a 3 point crouch position, as she looks behind her, she sees Camo getting up.

"You've got to be kidding me." Crystal Princess exclaimed. "He's getting back up?"

"More. More. More!" Camo hisses before laughing. He then lunges forward.

At Tetherby Industries, Andrew, Xander and Adamborg were watching the battle on the television where they watched Camo slash Crystal Princess which knocked her to the side before leaping up to where Firecracker, Genarocker and Ms. Appear were standing where he proceeded to hit Firecracker with his tail and slashed at Genarocker and Ms. Appear.

"The lizard is tougher than I thought." Xander comments.

"I'm impressed that he's still standing." said Tetherby

"Even with the amount of hits he takes." Adamborg nodded.

"I wouldn't be that surprised sir." Tetherby turns to see Isaac Mercer walking into his office. "Camo is considered a level eight meta because of his skills in combat and possibility to be feral. Plus because of his physiology, he physically stronger and faster than a normal human. That's the reason he was able to get the jump on Mr. Xander here."

"Well that explains it." Xander replied.

"So where's Replicate?" Adamborg questioned. "Last I checked Camo is one his former associates. I'm surprised he ain't here yet."

"He'll be there weather it's after Camo kills the L-Crew or before." Tetherby replied. "However, the last thing we need is for Camo to have to fight the L-Crew and Replicate at once. Adamborg, send one of your team down there as a backup plan."

"Can do." Adamborg said before walking out.

"Now let's enjoy the show." Tetherby said.

Prodigy let out a grunt as Camo hits her with his tail that sends her flying into a nearby building. "I never would've expected Camo could be this vicious." She groaned.

"He wasn't this tough when we battled against him." Firecracker replied as he gave Camo a roundhouse kick to the gut.

"This guy is full of surprises!" Crystal Princess said.

Camo then knees Firecracker in the gut which forces Firecracker to his knees. He then grabs the pyro by the head and throws him into Ms. Appear. Crystal Princess then runs up with a crystal scythe and swings it at Camo who catches it with one hand before using his other hand to shove Crystal Princess head first into the ground. "Who wants to play next?" Camo challenged.

"Right here!" Camo turns to see Genarocker with her giant sword. The two then charge at each where Genarocker swings her sword at Camo who slides underneath it. He then pops up behind her and wraps his tail around her neck and proceeds to choke her.

"Shh, don't fight it." Camo said menacingly. "You'll make it worse." Genarocker then drops to her knees and tries to pull the tail from around her neck. "Time to sleep." He is then suddenly kicked in the side of the head which sends him flying into a nearby car which also forces him to release his grip on Genarocker. Genarocker looks up and sees Replicate.

"You ok?" Replicate asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." said Genarocker.

"Good, I'll take care of him from here." Replicate said as he walked towards Camo. "Camo what are you doing out of the Dungeon?"

"That's none of your business!" Camo exclaimed.

"I'm going to ask you kindly to stop this right now, or do I have to beat some sense into you?" Replicate stated.

However much to his surprise, Camo started laughing maniacally. "You beat me?" He said. "That's hilarious. You can't beat me Replicate! And now you can die!" Replicate stared at Camo in shock. This wasn't the Camo he knew.

"Camo this isn't you." Replicate said. "You don't have to do this."

"Your right." Camo said. "But I want to."

"You ask for it." Replicate said and charged towards Camo. Camo whips his tail towards Replicate but he dodges the tail and give Camo a side kick to the gut.

Camo let's out a growl slashes at Replicate who barely avoids them but is hit by a thrust kick that causes Replicate to take a couple steps back. Camo then jumps onto Replicate who remains on his feet. Camo tries to sink his teeth into Replicate who gets an arm up to try and keep Camo's teeth away from his head. Replicate then walks to a car and slams Camo onto it forcing Camo to lose his grip.

Camo gets back lunges towards Replicate, but he dodges and elbows Camo in the face, then grabbed him by the tail and threw Camo towards a building, Camo began to get up and smirked through his pain.

"Give me more!" Camo said. Replicate doesn't respond. Instead he runs forward and tackles Camo causing the two to go through the window of the building. Once inside the people in the building started to scatter as the two metas got to their feet.

"Snap out of it Camo!" Replicate shouted. "This isn't you!"

"Well it's me now!" Camo said as he once again lunged at Replicate.

Outside the L-Crew were getting back to their feet and regrouped. "Everyone ok?" Ms. Appear asked.

"Yeah. Just gotta catch my breath." Genarocker panted. "We gotta go help dad."

"Agreed. Let's go." Ms. Appear said. They began to head towards a building but a voice stopped.

"I wouldn't take another step if I were you." The L-Crew looked up on a nearby building and saw Industrial Princess sitting on the roof. "You mates are staying here with me."

"Industrial Princess! We meet again!" Prodigy shouted.

"First off, thanks for using my codename. Appreciate it." Industrial Princess said. "And second, I'm afraid I can't let you guys get involved in that little fight in there so you'll be dealing with me." Suddenly several robots jump out of nowhere, each one armed with a samurai-like sword. "Meet my Samuraibots. Much tougher than my Busterbots you fought last time Prodigy."

"I'll admit I like how you based your robots off of Japanese culture." Prodigy said.

"Too bad they'll be in pieces." Firecracker said as he ignited his fists.

"I'd like to see you try!" Industrial Princess taunted. "Destroy them!"

The Samuraibots all charged towards the L-Crew. Firecracker threw two fire balls at two of the Samuraibots' heads. Crystal Princess forms two crystal blades and began to slice them apart.

Ms. Appear formed a forcefield shield and sword and began her attack on the Samuraibots. "Dishonour on you! Dishonour on your cow! Dishonour on your own creator!" Ms. Appear shouted as she sliced three Samuraibots.

Genarocker used her giant mechanical fists and smashed the Samuraibots. She then forms her cannon and using the destroyed bots as ammunition fired into the crowd of Samuraibots. Up on the building, Industrial Princess was watching her machines battle the L-Crew when Prodigy levitates up to face her. "I must admit, your Busterbots and Samuraibots are quite impressive. How many different types of robots do you have if I may ask?"

"A few dozen." Industrial Princess answered. "And more coming. My brother thinks I'm wasting my time but he's a moron."

"You are wasting your time. Building robots so they can be smashed to pieces." said Ms. Appear and chuckled.

"Don't mock my robots!" Industrial Princess shouts. She then looks at Ms. Appear and smiles. "Nice braces."

"I'm thanks for the comment." Ms. Appear replied confused about what's going on.

"Careful Ms. Appear. It could be a trap!" Genarocker said as she sliced a Samuraibot with her sword.

"She's right." Industrial Princess said as she lifted her fingers. As soon as she did that, Ms. Appear's head went up.

"What gives?" Ms. Appear asked. "I can't move my head!"

"She can also control metal!" Prodigy said. Industrial Princess then lowers her fingers and Ms. Appear faceplants to the ground. "Leave her alone!"

"Make me shall fry." Industrial Princess said and raised her finger to make Ms. Appear fly towards Crystal Princess. Crystal Princess dodges the thrown Ms. Appear and glares.

"She can't control Crystals!" Crystal Princess said and shot crystal shards towards Industrial Princess.

Industrial Princess smirks and moves her finger to bring Ms. Appear in front of her causing her to get hit by the crystals. "Why?" Ms. Appear whined.

"That's it!" Prodigy shouted. "I will not allow you to harm my elder sister anymore! You will fight me now!"

"You want a rematch?" Industrial Princess asked. "Well you got one mate."

"Bring it on!" Prodigy challenged. "You all deal with the Samuraibots and quickly. I don't know how long Replicate can hold Camo off."

"We're on it!" Firecracker shouted as he threw another fireball at a samuraibot.

"It's a shame that you're evil." Prodigy said. "We could've been friends. But I will stop you!" She raises her hands and several items from the ground float up. "Take this!" Prodigy thrusts her hands forward sending the items flying towards Industrial Princess.

"Such a fool." Industrial Princess taunted. "All those items are metal!" He then starts flickering her fingers back and forth send each that was flying towards her to the side. "Is that all you have?"

"Oh I can assure you, I'm only just starting." Prodigy said.

Replicate and Camo kept fighting without any of them giving up. Camo uses his tail to grab a chair and smacks Replicate with it. But Replicate managed to get back and gives Camo a right hook to the chest.

"Camo you need to stop this!" Replicate begged. "This isn't you."

"It's me now." Camo hissed. He then whips his tail at Replicate who catches it. Replicate then proceeds to swing Camo around until he let's go which sends Camo flying into the stairwell. Camo let's out a growl as Replicate joins him. "Is that all you have?"

"I don't know what's gotten into you? But I'm gonna have to beat some sense into you." Replicate said as he curb stomps on Camo's ribs.

"We'll see about that." Camo hissed before suddenly sinking his claws into Replicate's leg causing him to let out a shout of agony which forces him to step off of Camo. The lizard then jumps back to his feet and smiles. "Let's play a little game. Try and keep up." He then leaps over the railing and crawls down the wall. Replicate let's out a growl and looks at his leg to see it's bleeding.

"Damn it." Replicate grunted. He looked to his left and sees a dry rag so he uses it to cover the wound to prevent bleeding and ties it up. "Now to go after Camo."

He makes his way down the stairwell and sees no sign of Camo. When he makes it to the very bottom of the steps, he sees Camo on a wall over a door. "Just a little more Replicate." He taunts before opening the door and crawling inside. With a growl Replicate followed. When he gets inside he sees that he's in a boiler room and it was almost pitch black in it with the only lights coming from some old lightbulbs in the ceiling.

"Where are you Camo?" Replicate yelled.

Replicate than felt something pass behind him. Replicate turned around and saw nothing, then he gets tackled to the ground. Replicate got back up and looked around for Camo. "Come on out Camo!" Replicate shouted.

He then begins to hear cackling coming from all around but he couldn't see the source of it anywhere. "What's wrong Tom? Getting scared?" Camo taunted.

"Damn it Camo stop this!" Replicate growled. "Why is he acting like this. Wait. That thing around his neck must be the cause. If I can get that thing off it might turn him back to normal." Speaking louder. "Alright Camo why are we here?"

"Simple old friend." Camo said. "To face your sins."

"Of course." Replicate sighed under his breath.

"Don't act so surprised Replicate." Camo growled. "You can only hide from them for so long."

"True, but I'll be ready for them when they come back to haunt me." Replicate replied.

Really?" Camo asked as he slowly crawled down a wall into view. "But what happens when you face your failures?" He gets off the wall and into the shadows. But when a figure comes into view, it's not Camo. It's a woman with short black and blonde hair and was wearing a white jacket with a green shirt underneath it and had on white jeans. It was Erin.

"No." Replicate gasped.

"Hello Tom, how long has it been. There was our last mission, there was an accident and ah yes, you left me there to die!" Erin said.

"No, I wanted to go back for you but it was too dangerous!" Replicate said as he backed away.

"That's a lie. Renso would have come back to save me. But you just let him watch by and let his future get destroyed, not only did you killed me but you also killed any chance of me and Renso starting a family and a normal life." Erin said. "I was engaged and you took everything away from me. You just stood there and watched me die! Along with another life you might have taken."

"Stop Camo. Stop!" Camo shouted.

"What's wrong Tom? Can't face the truth?" Erin taunted before walking past a post. "But why should you?" As Erin walked past the post, she turned into a younger version of Renso. "You just let us face the pain alone."

"Renso?" Replicate growled.

"I could've saved her you know." Renso growled. "But you prevented me from doing so."

"It was too dangerous I couldn't risk it!" Replicate replied.

"But risking my fiancé's life was okay?!" Renso shouted.

"Yes I mean no." Replicate stammered. "I mean I couldn't risk losing anyone else!"

"Likely excuse." Renso growled. "You only cared about your skin. You never gave a damn about our thoughts or feelings. But then again," Renso's voice then changes into a female's. "You've always been selfish." Replicate looks to see a younger Rachel across from him.

"Hello Tom. Did you enjoy seeing Erin die? I didn't! I lost a mother figure on that day and drifted this team apart. Then you shrugged it off like it was nothing!" Rachael said. "Then you violated me with your bad seed!"

"I did mourned for Erin and you used your power in me!" Replicate said looking around.

"I'm not buying it, you didn't live up to the leader I thought you would be." Rachael said and then the voice went back male. "Unlike me."

"Randy." Replicate growled.

"I always knew you'd fail." Randy said. "You were no leader because you were selfish, always putting first over others. At least I cared when I was leader. I would have helped Renso with his grief. I would've never taken Rachel's son. I would've saved Erin!"

"No you wouldn't." Replicate growled. "You would've abandoned us. You were a coward."

"It takes one to know one." A new voice said. Replicate looks to see a younger Jax.

"Jax." Replicate said.

"You had no experience to be a leader like Randy. I should of been leader because I'm stronger than you! Always has been and always will be!" Jax said.

"Shut up." Replicate muttered.

"You tore down everything we built." Jax continued. "The friendships we formed, the family we created and you threw it all away! You turned your backs on us when we needed you most. But the person that you turned your back on the worst." He goes silent which gets Replicate's attention. He then looks up and he sees that he's looking at a younger version of himself. "Was you."

"NOO!" Replicate shouted and then punched his younger self causing him to revert back to Camo.

"That was unexpected." Camo comments. He sees Replicate charging towards him but Camo jumps onto the ceiling causing Replicate to punch the wall. Replicate looks around and sees no sign of Camo. He then feels a sudden slash to his back causing him to let out a shout of agony. He then feels another strike to the front of his body. He looks down to see that he has three slash marks on his front. He then hears Camo laughing maniacally from the shadows.

"I gotta end this quickly and to do that I need to get that collar off." Replicate said as he struggled to stand.

"Come on Tommy, let's see if you can defeat me without any light!" Camo shouted.

"He's right." Replicate growled. "Camo was always the best when it came to attacking from the shadows. But even then, Camo still makes mistakes. That's it! He's attacking in patterns. If I can break his routine I might be able to bring him down."

Replicate waits for Cameo to attack and counted to three. Right when Camo is about to attack, Replicate punches Camo to the ground.

"How is that possible?" Camo growled.

"I know you better than you think." Replicate said. He then grabs Camo and slams his arm into a boiler where a loud crack is heard.

"Damn it." Camo hissed in pain as he noticed his arm was hanging at an awkward angle.

"Let's see how you'll fight with one arm!" Replicate growled as he walked towards Camo.

Camo let's out a snarl and starts swinging his good arm at Replicate who easily dodges each strike. On the final swing, Replicate catches the arm and brings his elbow down on it which broke it. Camo stumbled back and realized that he couldn't move either of his arms. "I'll still kill you!" Camo roars as he charges towards Replicate. Replicate doesn't respond and hits Camp with a high knee that knock Camo to the ground. Replicate quickly got on top of him and pinned him down.

"This is over!" Replicate then grabs the collar around Camo's neck and rips it off. Replicate throws the collar to the side and gets off Camo before sitting against the wall. He placed a hand on his stomach and felt the blood coming out. He also knew that he was bleeding from his back as well but there wasn't anything he could really do. He was then taken from his thoughts when he heard a groan. He looks over and sees Camo coming too. "Camo?"

"Tom? That you?" Camo asked. "Where the hell are we and why do my arms hurt?"

"This collar made you lose control and made you dangerous." said Replicate.

"Man did I do that?" Camo asked.

"I'll be fine. Just need some bandages." said Replicate.

"Your gonna need a lot more than bandages Tom." Camo said as he slowly got up. He then used his tail to help Replicate to his feet. "C'mon. Let's get out of here." He then assists Replicate walk towards the door.

Prodigy is still fighting against Industrial Princess, while the rest of the L-Crew are fighting against the Samuraibots. Crystal Princess slices through two robots with her crystal sword. Firecracker shoots two fireballs at the Samuraibot blowing it up.

"This is getting ridiculous." Ms. Appear growled as she slashed a Samuraibot. "It's time we finished. Firecracker! Fireball surprise!"

"On it!" Firecracker replied. He flies into the air and starts spinning causing a mini fire tornado to form. As the tornado spins several fireballs come rain down hitting every Samuraibot. Firecracker then stops spinning but looks queasy. "I'm not feeling so good." He then runs to a nearby trashcan and promptly throws up. Seeing her robots defeated, Industrial Princess let's out a growl.

"Damn it." She muttered.

"It's over Industrial Princess." Prodigy told her. "Time to go to the Dungeon."

"I don't think so." Prodigy turns and sees Rampage landing next to her. He then swats her sending her flying off the roof where she's caught by Genarocker.

"What the hell are you doing?" Industrial Princess demanded.

"Plan went south." Rampage growled. "Boss wants us to get the hell out of here." Industrial Princess sighs and climbs onto Rampage's back. Rampage then leaps off. On the ground Genarocker places Prodigy back on the ground as the rest of the team gather around her.

"Was that Rampage?" Ms. Appear asked.

"Looks like it." said Crystal Princess.

"Did he saved his sister?" Genarocker asked.

"Yeah and did he say boss?" Firecracker asked.

"This is an interesting development." Prodigy said as she cracked her back. "First Adamborg and Sound Diva help Honeybee. Then Adamborg saves Tremor. Now we have Rampage and Industrial Princess."

"Now that I think about it, the guards at the juvenile center said that it was Rampage that broke Lindsey out of juvie." Crystal Princess pointed out.

"Guys, I'm worried about the fact that we haven't seen Vesuvius in a while." Firecracker pointed out. "Do you think she's in on this too?"

"There is a possibility of it but it's too early to be certain." Prodigy said. Before she could continue, they hear groaning and uneasy footsteps. They turn towards the building that Replicate and Camo crashed into and saw Camo and Replicate making their way out with Camo using his tail to support the taller man. The L-Crew gasped when they saw Camo's arms hanging in awkward angles and Replicate bleeding heavily from several slash wounds.

"Dear God." Genarocker whispers. "Dad." However Replicate didn't hear her as he suddenly dropped to his knees.

"You okay?" Firecracker asked.

"I'm fine. Just need some rest and bandages." Replicate sighed in pain. "As for Camo he was under the influence of a collar."

"Here." Ms. Appear said as she held out a pill. "This'll help your injuries. If you want I can call Soothsayer to heal you up."

"I'll take the pill but no magic." Replicate growled as he took the pill.

"You want one?" Ms. Appear asked Camo.

"No thanks. Got a healing factor." Camo said.

"I think Wildgirl would like that part about you." said Crystal Princess.

"Camo who gave you that collar?" Prodigy asked.

"Sorry but things are fuzzy still." Camo answered. "Mind is a little clouded so I don't remember much. I do remember something about a visitor but that's it. Can I just go back to the Dungeon?"

"Sure. Cops are on their way." Genarocker said. "Should we make sure he doesn't run?"

"No I'll stay." Replicate said. "I need to rest anyways."

"Ok whatever you say." Genarocker said.

"Besides don't you have a mess to clean?" Replicate asked.

"I'll go get a broom." Prodigy grumbled.

"You don't usually see this in the comics." Firecracker sighed and get to work.

Once the L-Crew finished cleaning (with the assistance of Soothsayer's magic) the L-Crew left leaving Camo and Replicate alone. "You ever think about her?" Replicate asked after some silence.

"Who?" Camo asked.

"Erin." Replicate replied. "You ever think about her?"

"All the time." Camo answered. "You?"

"Of course I do." Replicate said. "There are times I wish I could of saved her."

"I'm sure we all do." Camo sighed. "She always kept us in line didn't she?"

"Yeah. Remember when she smacked Jax and Renso's heads together because they wouldn't stop arguing over that hockey game they bet on?" Replicate asked with a chuckle. "I swear she was stronger than she looked."

"Yeah she managed to beat Jax in a arm wrestling match." said Camo.

"Jax, kept trying to beat her, but after the 9th defeat he gave up." said Replicate.

"I guess she really held us together didn't she?" Camo said. "We all fell apart when she died didn't we?"

"Yeah." Replicate sighed while he rested his arm on his knee. "The arguing, the fighting, the shouting. We were constantly at each other's throats. And it was all my fault. You four turned out the way you did because of me and I've felt guilty about ever since."

"You can't blame yourself for what happened pal." Camo told him. "We all made mistakes. We all agreed to do that mission that turned into a disaster. Still don't know how everything went wrong. I mean we were supposed to destroy the weapon and it was right in front of us yet we couldn't smash it."

"It didn't work." Replicate said. "The weapon didn't work."

"Then why did they wanted to use the weapon?" Camo asked.

"The people were arrogant." Replicate said.

"But we saw it get used on Erin." Camo argues. "If it didn't work then what did it do?"

"I don't know." Replicate admitted. "That's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm trying to find out what went wrong so that I can fix everything. And maybe fix everything with the four of you."

"You can try Replicate, but there some things that can't be fixed." said Camo as the cops arrived on the scene.

"I know." Replicate said. "But I ain't gonna stop trying until someone pays."

At the Loud house, Luan, Lincoln, Lucy, Lola and Lisa were gathered in Lori and Leni's room with Lori and Luna filling them in on what went down. "So Camo had a collar on him that put him under mind control." Lori said. "That complicates things."

"Agreed." Lisa said. "Sadly Replicate destroyed the collar so I couldn't study it."

"There's always next time Lis." Luna assured her. "So what's this about Industrial Princess and Rampage?"

"Industrial Princess ambushed us while Replicate and Camo were fighting. She had Samurai themed robots and she has plenty more." Lincoln said.

"Well at least she has some style." Luna said.

"He even said that the boss wants them out of here." Luan said.

"Boss? Well Stuart is their father so it's pretty clear who the boss is." Lori said as she rubbed her chin.

"We fear that might not be the case." Lisa said. "After some discussion, we realized that there's a common denominator. Adamborg. Let me explain. Rampage broke Sound Diva out of juvie. Sound Diva then assists Adamborg in saving Honeybee. But before that Adamborg was distracting Luna while the rest of her team fought Honeybee. Adamborg then saved Tremor and most recently, Rampage grabbed Industrial Princess and retreated. We believe that they all might be connected with Adamborg."

"It looks like we have another team up on our hands." Lincoln said. "And by the looks of Adamborg is the ringleader."

"Seems like it." Lori agreed. "Ok here's what's gonna happen. Tomorrow we're all gonna go to the base and we're gonna hunt down this little alliance of villains. The last thing we need is another team of villains running around when we still got the Terror Crew at large."

"Got it." Everyone in the room minus Lori nodded in approval.

"Camo failed." Xander said. Him, Adamborg, Mercer and Stuart were all in Andrew Tetherby's office discussing the latest failure.

"Not necessarily." Tetherby said. "We know the collar works so we can use more. Plus Camo was able to hurt Replicate so while Tetherby is still alive, he's weakened. Adamborg, I have a mission for you and your team."

"Whatever you say boss." Adamborg said.

Camo walks back in the courtyard of the the Dungeon and he looks around and sees Climate leaning against the wall along with Aroma and Stretcher, and walks towards them. "Hey guys ." Camo greeted.

"So how did you escaped?" Aroma asked.

"Replicate told me that a collar was making me well savage." Camo said. "I have no memory of how I got out and what happened."

"Damn. You must of been a beast while fighting against Tom and the L-Crew?" Climate said.

"I was battling against Replicate most of the time according to him and he broke my arm." Camo said and Aroma cringed.

"Oh my gosh." Aroma cringed.

"Don't worry I have a healing factor." said Camo.

"Must of been a hell of a fight." Stretcher said.

"We talked about the mission." Camo said. "We talked about Erin and the weapon. He's still looking into it you know."

"What's there to look into?" Climate growled.

"The weapon didn't work the way it was supposed to." Camo revealed and everyone's eyes widened.

"You're saying that weapon didn't work right?" Stretcher asked.

"Was it a set up?" Aroma asked.

"It sounds like it." Stretcher said. "You mean Erin died for nothing?!

"No she didn't." Climate growled. "We all went in there knowing what would possibly happen and sadly it did. That weapon was dangerous and even work right, it wasn't a waste. I'm not saying it wasn't Replicate's fault, I'm saying that we did everything by the book until we couldn't. If Replicate is gonna get to the bottom of it then let him. We'll see what happens then." They hear a commotion coming from the center of the courtyard.

"Isn't that the fascist gang?" Aroma asked. Climate nods and the four go to see the gang members beating on a guard. It was Cline. "Oh God Cline!" Climate and Stretcher run in and pull the guys off of Cline letting Aroma and Camo to check on him.

"What the hell is wrong with you guys?" Stretcher demanded. Suddenly the gang members parted as a white man taller than Climate with a nazi symbol on his arm walked up.

"This guard is sympathetic to meta humans. Minorities." The man said. "He has betrayed his people so we are punishing him for it." Climate let's out a growl and walks up to the man before looking up at him.

"You hurt Cline because he looks out for us." Climate said. "You beat the hell out of an old man. Yeah you're a tough guy alright. But if anything you're a bully. And if I can say this that if there's one thing I hate more than bullies, is wannabe nazis. So I'm just gonna introduce myself. I'm Climate." He then proceeds to throw a right jab right between the eyes. The bigger man stumbles back where Climate followed up with a uppercut which knocks him down. Once he goes down the rest of the gang rushes in.

Stretcher tackles one of the fascist member to the ground. Aroma gives one of the fascist members a straight kick to the chest. Two fascist members gang up on Camo, but he managed to overpowered the two and grabs one of them with his tail and throws the fascist member to a wall.

Climate gives the fascist leader a series of combos to the face and gives him a right hook to the face. Two fascists charge towards Climate, until Aroma grabs the one on the right and knees him in the nuts. The one on the left is grabbed by Camo's tail and smacks him.

Aroma gets pushed back by two fascists but Stretcher runs in and pulls one off of her before punching him in the face. Aroma knees the other one in the gut before giving him an elbow to the back. Stretcher grabs a barbell and dumps the weights off before handing it to Aroma running off to tackle another skinhead. Aroma spins the barbell and hits one skinhead in the face before sweeping another's feet from under him. Stretcher is punching the guy he tackled but another grabs him from behind. Stretcher gets an arm free and elbows the guy in the face causing him to release him only to get dropkicked by Camo.

Climate grabbed the leader and throws him into a rack with weights on it causing some of the weights to fall on him. Seeing their leader defeated, the remaining gang members ran off. Once they were gone, Climate, Aroma, Stretcher and Camo walked over to where Cline was sitting.

"Now that was fun." Stretcher said as he wiped some blood off his lip.

"You okay Cline?" Aroma asked as she and Camo helped Cline up.

"I've been through worst. But I'll live." Cline said.

"If you want we can help you get to the Infirmary?" Climate asked.

"No thank you." Cline said. "I may be old but I'm a lot tougher than I look. But sadly I'm afraid the four of you might face disciplinary for this little brawl."

"Don't worry about it." Climate said. Cline nods and walks off.

"You think we'll get time off for good behavior?" Camo asked.

"Maybe, but I wouldn't get your hopes up." Climate said.

Replicate made his way along the rooftops trying to make his way back to his safehouse. It had been a long day and he just wanted to get home. As he made his way along the rooftops he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He felt like he heard something from the distance. He scans his surroundings trying to find something out of place. He then heard something coming from above. He looks up and sees blaster fire raining down.

"Aw crap." Replicate growled and leaped out of the way. Replicate lands on his feet and sees Adamborg flying overhead. "Adamborg. What do you want tin can?"

"I just came to see how Camo would do with the L-Crew. But there you showed up and fought against Camo. I'm amazed that you survived." Adamborg said.

"I'm tougher than I look!" Replicate shouted back. "Now how about you come down here and I remind you how tough I really am." Adamborg flies down with his fist cocked back. Once he gets close he throws the fist at Replicate who grabs the fist and swings him into the the entrance of the roof. Replicate walks up and picks him up. "Starting to regret this?" He then throws Adamborg into a vent.

"Naw man." Adamborg said. "This is just getting good." Replicate grabs him and pins him to the vent.

"Regret coming alone?" Replicate growled. However Adamborg chuckled.

"Naw man." He said. "I got new friends." Replicate looks at him in confusion when he's suddenly hit hard in the face sending him flying but he lands on his feet. He looks up to see Rampage.

"Replicate. Long time no see." Rampage growled.

"Rampage. As big and dumb as ever." Replicate taunted. "Decided to be robot's best friend?"

"Oh, ha ha." He laughed sarcastically. "Real funny, but he offered me a spot at the table for the death of the L-Crew." Rampage said.

Then two yellow blasts comes towards Replicate, but he managed to dodge the blasts, he looks up and sees Honeybee. "The great and mighty Replicate I presume?" Honeybee asked.

"The daddy's girl gone bad." Replicate said. "The Honeybee I presume."

"That's right and we'll be doing the city a favor by getting rid of you and the L-Crew." Honeybee said.

"Get real. You've really convinced yourself that you're the hero." Replicate taunted. "How pathetic."

"I am not the pathetic one!" Honeybee shouted.

Then Replicate sees lavas coming towards him and looks ahead of him to see Vesuvius. "You're that metahuman who tried to bury Royal Woods in lava. Vesuvius is it?" Replicate asked.

"I'm amazed that you know my name." Vesuvius said.

"Don't be." Replicate growled. "I try to stay well informed of enemies. But it doesn't matter. Your name mean nothing soon." He goes to make a move when a loud sonic scream blasts him. Replicate looks to see Sound Diva come out from behind a vent and climb onto Rampage's shoulder.

"Hello Replicate." Sound Diva greeted. "The number one princess is here."

"I didn't know Crystal Princess was joining us." Replicate said causing Rampage to burst into laughter.

"You do not mention Lola around me. Because I'm number one and she's not!" Sound Diva shouted as she screamed a sound wave nearly landed a hit on Replicate.

You developed sound powers?" Replicate questioned.

"Nope. Updated sound gadgets!" Sound Diva said. "Now with boots." Replicate takes a step forward but suddenly the gravel from roof gather around his feet and hold him in place. Tremor then walks up and stands next to Rampage.

"Sup old man." Tremor said.

"Tremor." Replicate growled. "You better hope I don't free myself because once I do get free, I'm gonna kill you before Parkour gets a chance." Suddenly the roof begins to crack and the metal within the roof pop out and wrap around his arms. Replicate then sees Industrial Princess walk up from behind Rampage. "Industrial Princess is luck seven."

"'Ello luv." Industrial Princess said in a British accent.

"So a machine can make friends." Replicate said.

"Damn right." Adamborg said. "Just call us the Revenants." Replicate just groans. "What? You gotta a problem with that?"

"No it's just already been done." Replicate responded with a roll of his eyes.

"Say what?" Adamborg said.

"Yeah. Ask those two." Replicate said while gesturing to Rampage and Sound Diva. Everyone then turns to look at the two.

"Right we were the Revenants with Chandler, Carolborg, Maggie, and a robot." Rampage said. "But it still works! The Sinister Six change members all the time so it isn't uncommon!"

"I'm starting to regret joining this team." Vesuvius muttered.

"You and me both." Honeybee agreed.

"Hey don't judge me!" Rampage growled. "It's not that stu-ack!" He looks and sees that Replicate has his fist buried in his stomach. Seeing what was about to happen, Sound Diva climbed off of Rampage. "This hurts more than it should." Replicate then uses his other hand to hit Rampage square in the nose sending him flying across the building.

"What just happened?" Tremor asked.

"While you were arguing I copied Rampage's powers." Replicate answered. "That being said." He then hits Tremor with an uppercut followed by a back elbow to Adamborg.

"Crush him!" Adamborg ordered.

Honeybee flies towards Replicate and aimed her stingers at him and opened fire. Replicate managed to dodge some of stings, he threw a trash can at her throwing her off flight.

Tremor gets back up and charges towards Replicate but he uses some of his strength to push back Tremor and toss him to a wall. Vesuvius shot a stream of lava towards Replicate, but Replicate raises his right head to raise the ground and use it as shield from the lava attack.

Honeybee tries to sneak up behind Replicate but Replicate raises chunks of the ground and launches them at Honeybee knocking her out of the air. "Pathetic." Replicate growled.

"Leave her alone!" Vesuvius shouts as she jumps towards Replicate with her fist coated in magma. Replicate's eyes flash and he catches the magma fist with a magma covered hand of his own. He then throws Vesuvius to the same place Honeybee landed. Sound Diva fires a soundwave blast at Replicate who avoids it before blasting a magma ball at Sound Diva who jumps out of the way of it

Industrial Princess lifts a dumpster with her magnetic powers and throws it towards Replicate, but luckily he throws magma balls at the dumpster causing it to melt and he dodges the melting metal container.

Tremor gets up and charges towards Replicate, Replicate's eyes flash and he delivers a right hook to Tremor's face, causing him to hit a wall. After that strike Replicate groan but he didn't to fight through it.

"Feeling a little sore Replicate?" Rampage growled as he charged towards Replicate and tackled him forcing the two off the building. As they're falling the two are wrestling to put the other closer to the ground which Replicate was successful in doing so as Rampage hit the ground first while Replicate landed on top of him. Replicate gets up and winces in pain and limps to the center of the street. Knowing that there was six more people waiting for him, he used Rampage's strength and jumped back to the roof of the building where he saw the rest of his attackers ready. He lands by Industrial Princess and gives her a swift kick to the the chest. He then grabs her leg and throws her to the side where she crashes into Sound Diva.

"Is this all you have?" Replicate taunted.

Then he gets hit on the right side of his chest and his attacker revealed to be Honeybee who fired a sting at him. "I got more where that came from!" Honeybee shouted.

"Take him down hard!" Adamborg ordered. He flies forward and shoulder tackles him to the ground. Rampage then jumps back up to the roof and grabs Replicate by the trenchcoat. He then lifts him up to look him in the eye.

"Getting a little woozy Replicate?" Rampage taunted. He then punches him to the ground. "Hey Tremor, you want some?"

"Sure thing." Tremor smirked and then punches Replicate in the chest. "No L-Crew to help you this time!"

"Yeah you're real tough guys." Replicate growled. "Beating down a man who already fought a giant lizard and hasn't completely recovered yet. Yeah can be real proud of yourselves." Adamborg then walks up and looks Replicate in the eye.

"I know I'm brag about to Xander after he failed to beat you twice." Adamborg said. He then turns to Rampage. "Throw him off the roof."

Rampage nods and picks up Replicate and throws him off the building. "So long old timer!" Rampage said.

Adamborg smirked as the rest of the new Revenants gather together. "We took care of Replicate. Now we'll wipe the L-Crew out of Royal Woods along with anyone who sides with them. Is that clear?" Everyone nodded at Adamborg's speech. "Good now let's go."

The seven walk off. However unknown to them, Replicate was able to grab a ledge before he hit the ground. Above him, a window opened and our popped Alice. "You know, when you said to meet you at this apartment building, I wasn't expecting you to meet me outside this window." She said.

"Shut up and pull me in." Replicate growled.

Smoke: You actually thought we were going to kill off Replicate? You would have to be insane to do that! Anyway now you know how Camo met with Replicate and the gang. I know it was short due to we had keep his past a mystery, just like the Joker, DC comics' Joker, not the Ace Savvy Joker. Oh and if you like other hero stories feel free to check out Casaheroes. It's where the Santiago and Casagrande kids get powers and maybe the Chang kids too. No there will not be crossover between those two stories. Because it's own separate story. Anyway that's enough from me. Got anything to say Zach?

Zachlor16: Now if you haven't guessed, yeah the Revenants are back. Next chapter you will see the L-Crew vs the Revenants. Don't want to miss that. Season 2 is almost over and after the next chapter, we will begin our multi-part season finale. And it's one we've been planning for months. We've built up to it and we will soon begin it. Well after the next chapter of course. Now a few of you have asked when we're gonna introduce the cowboy, the Aussie and the robot. Sadly it won't be til next season. But I can assure you, it's gonna be good. We hope you enjoyed the chapter. See you next time.
