United Heroez Season 1: The Next Generation

Suspicion

Jess and Aeon are both in their room, with the kwamis floating next to them.  Jess, who is on the verge of a panic attack, paces her room.  "Ok.  I get this seems like a big deal but relax.  One was bad enough, but I'm sure two won't be that bad."  Crackle said.  "How can you say that?  I LOST TWO MIRACULOUS, AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF THOSE TWO JERKS!!!"  Jess yelled.  "Well, I mean, you did want to choose them right?"  Grizz asked.  "Explain,"  Jess ordered.  "You wanted your friend group to be heroes because you wanted them to pay for making fun of you, which does make me question why your even friends with them.  So this is your fault technically."  Grizz said.  "STOP BLAMING IT ON ME!!!  I'm the one who gave them this chance.  They are the ones who choose to run away."  Jess yelled.  "Still, it is technically your fault,"  Grizz said.  "Yeah, I agree,"  Gutty replied.  "You too?  Ok, raise your hand if you think this is my fault."  Jess ordered.  Soon, everyone, even Aeon, raises their hand.  "Oh God, you too Aeon?"  Jess asked in shock.  "They have a point.  Look, I get it.  It's very stressful now, and Crystallized is still whooping our butts, but perhaps we do a better strategy other than, run in and fight."  Aeon replied.  "That's dumb.  As team leader, I know what's best for the team, and for us."  Jess said.  "No offense, but are you sure?"  Crackle asked.  "I wish I can slap you.  Anyway, we don't need a better plan.  He... just got lucky.  What we need is more power.  So, here's the new plan.  Until I find James, you will be in charge of Aeon.  I want you to not only give the miraculous back to the corresponding holders but also give one of the two other miraculous we have to Arkin or Fiona.  Just pick one.  And before you ask, we have enough for now.  Yeah.  We have enough."  Jess replied.  "Geez.  But whatever you say, boss."  Aeon said.  Aeon grabs all the miraculous, except for Jess.  "Once I find where James is, I will make him pay the ultimate price for wanting to steal Blair,"  Jess said in a threatening tone.

After that declaration, a bright light turns on.  Mikey then wakes up in a pitch-black room, where the only light is the one above him.  He keeps his cool, as he looks around.  Trying to find out where exactly he is.  "Ok, theory.  I'm going to yell, and see if there is an echo.  [screams].  Ok, no echo.  That's a shame."  Mikey said.  "Don't waste your breath kid.  [emerges from the shadows].  You're going to need it for later."  Wilson replied.  "Wilson Ward.  CEO of ReX cooperations, and the infamous mastermind behind Crystallized.  Guess your little secret ain't so... secret now."  Mikey said.  "It's such a relief your not speaking in your Noir persona.  That gets so annoying so fast.  You're a kid, but you make me want to kill you."  Wilson replied.  "Why?  Because of your anger, I found out who you are.  That you are truly a sick man in disguise?"  Mikey asked.  Soon, Wilson nearly breaks his cheek when he punches the side of the chair with his brass knuckle.  Silencing Mikey.  "Ah, that's better.  Now, [pulls out miraculous] looking for this?  [Mikey gasps].  Relax, your so-called kwami is fine.  Though, the magic behind these jewels is astonishing.  Think of the many ways I can use a creature like this to make money.  I could even create some more powerful supervillains than Crystallized.  That's what I call great marketing."  Wilson said.  "What do you mean, great marketing?"  Mikey asked.  "Do you want to know how I got here?  Back in the way, I found a way to grant one superpowers thanks to years of research, and development.  This was once an innocent factory, but thanks to two suckers, I transformed it into the greater marketing strategy ever made.  I believe you know Majestia and Night Owl.  Aka Eagle's parents."  Wilson asked.  "I do."  Mikey replied.  "Splendid.  I created them."  Wilson said.  "What?!"  Mikey asked in shock.  "Great reaction.  Love it.  But yes, I made them.  Since then, the city was so safe, sound, chill, and relaxed.  That is until a specific villain I'm pretty sure you know of came to be.  The Vessel.  [Mikey goes speechless].  He was perhaps my greatest villain creation ever.  The amount of murder, and chaos he brought made me smile.  And soon, that smile made me very, very rich.  Just like my commercial said, here at ReX, we guarantee that you can be your superhero.  I think the rest of it all makes sense now.  [Mikey nods his head].  Ok, then let me break it down.  Every time you and your hero friends fight my villains, people of course need to feel safe other than you guys.  Never know when something bad will come.  So they come to me and buy my products.  Plasma guns, chrome knives, you name it.  And then, I made most of the profit and can afford nice stuff such as my watch here.  Cost me fifty grand."  Wilson replied.  "So, let me get this crystal clear."  Mikey said.  "Nice one."  Wilson replied.  "Excuse me?"  Mikey asked.  "Crystal clear.  You know.  Crystallized.  I made him."  Wilson replied.  "Oh, I get it now.  Unintentional jokes.  Always the best."  Mikey said.  "Sure are."  Wilson replied.  "But back on track.  So you're telling me every time the United Heroez fights your villain, we are most likely going to make more people buy your junk?"  Mikey asked.  "Weapons that will change the world, but yes.  As I said, it's the perfect marketing strategy.  Unfortunately, good things die eventually.  Who knows when Crystallized gets defeated, or worse, takes you guys out."  Wilson replied.  "I thought you wanted our miraculous?"  Mikey asked.  "I do when the time seems right.  Adds a psychotic element to the mix.  Almost all the great baddies have a psycho side to them."  Wilson replied.  "I mean, they sure do.  I've seen loads in Noir."  Mikey said.  "God you won't shut up about Noir.  Do me a favor, and listen carefully kiddo.  I have plans for my next bad guy coming in soon.  However, I don't have the parts needed for this one.  And trust me, this next bad guy is going to make people wish they left NYC as soon as possible.  This is where you come in, wolf boy.  [shows him a list of materials].  This is all I need to begin my next bad guy.  If you just get me all the parts needed, perhaps I could let you go, and we can forget all of this ever happened."  Wilson replied.  "I will tell people about you.  And you will get shut down, Wilson."  Mikey declared.  "Believe you?  The Noir freak?  Why would they ever?  If anything, they will think this is yet another one of your make-believe adventures.  Making you the perfect puppet for me to control."  Wilson replied.  "Then I won't do it.  I rather rot here than help the villain!"  Mikey yelled.  "Is that so?  Ok.  It would be a real shame if I told your friends the real reason why you act the way you are huh?"  Wilson asked.  "You... you wouldn't."  Mikey replied.  "Oh, I would.  So, you have a choice.  Either get me the parts, and walk away Scott free, or prepare to never make any friends ever again.  What will you choose kid?"  Wilson asked.  Mikey doesn't answer.  He sits there and panics about what will happen next.
