Japan Represented 2: More like they were saved from a vigilante group .They are doing a better job then the AA recruits.

(AA watching, Alloy getting frustrated)

Russia Represented: Speaking of these subject is America allowing unknown super beings to do as they wish, I thought one the main reasons we had these meetings is to regulate and control the superpower population for our and their safety of the people.

American Represented: That's why we have take better precautions and trust each other when something like this happens. The AA recruits are doing just as good as original members, while their in space making relations with aliens\ species.

Japan Represented: What about these vigilante group we can let them run wild.

American Represented: The AA will watch them and take care of them if they get to wild.

Japan Represented: That's not enough we don't now where or what the Trackers are doing.

Half: Helping any life still matters, Power.

Mech: I don't mind helping kids, Half but Power has a point after that giant robot fight we haven't faced any real threats lately.

Alloy: Talk? He might have ties with a villain, we need to stop him.

Overshadow: Not this dark day.

(Overshadow covers the area with darkness and escapes in the shadows)

Mech: He's gone.

Alloy: Nice job Trackers.

Power: Us you lost him too.

Alloy: Only because you wanted to talk instead of fighting.

Half: Fighting should only use for defense and we should only use reason if we have the chance.

Alloy: That coming from the masked vigilante. Just stay out of our way.

(AA leaving)

Power: Is it me or did Alloy gain an anger problem.

Mech: He probably stressed or something. But how are you going to find that shadow guy?

Half: It won't be too hard if he is still in the area.

Power: Looks like your nose is as good as ever.

Mech: But the AA said stay out of the way.

Half: They said not to get into their way not trying to stop him by ourselves.

(Trackers entering the building)

Half: You don't need to hide and can smell you.

Mech: Wow, we and AA don't kill we just trying to protect people.

Overshadow: Looks like that doesn't include curse humans like me.

Power: Cursed?

Overshadow: Unlike most superpower beings I gain my abilities from a curse my deceased father had.

Half: You father, so you are connect to the villain, in blood at least.

Overshadow: But I don't follow his path and only want to be left alone, from everyone.

Mech: Sounds sad.

Overshadow: It's the only way I can keep my mother, I'm still unable to control my powers completely. When I lose control I manifested my fears in reality.

Power: So you didn't mean to attack us.

Overshadow: No, I only did it because I thought you were the one who were following from last few days.

Half: You the only one paying here.

(Half punches Tank in the face but he is unharmed)

(Tank punches Half across the room)

Power: This guy can take a punch.

Tank: Fools, I was cursed with no pain and inhuman strength. I was born without ability to feel life and you can't defeat something that don't understand.

Power: Let's see you can say that after we take you down together.

Tank: You have to deal with this first.

(Tank throws a big bomb)

Tank: Theirs more devices like this all over this area and you don't have time to stop me and turn it off.

(Tank uses a smoke bomb to cover their escape)

Half: Mech tell me you can use your powers to disarm the bomb.

Mech: Maybe but I don't this type of bomb and I might set off the other bombs.

Overshadow: How did you find out I'm his son.

Tank: I got a anonymous tip of the whereabouts of someone with similar abilities like him. But I can tell you just like him.

Overshadow: I don't know to take that as a good or bad thing.
