Just like we left off, the final battle commences.  Crystallized soon starts to blast out crystal lightning bolts at the heroes, but they all dodge it.  "So what's the plan?"  Lightwing asked.  "Whatever we do, just get him off that statue.  The rest is plain and easy."  Uncanny Valley replied.  "Got it,"  Lightwing said.  She then flies up and throws her talons at Crystallized.  He simply deflects them off, and then laughs, as he blasts Lightwing with electricity.  Brother Bear jumps up alongside Moon Fang, and the two of them scream, as they dive down to slash Crystallized.  Crystallized laughs again, as he powers up, and supercharges both of them away.  Brother Bear and Moon Fang scream, as they are sent flying into the water, where both of them get out.  "Good thing bears can handle water."  Brother Bear said.  "Not wolves.  That jerk ruined my perfect fur."  Moon Fang replied.  With three down, it's time for Uncanny to get.  She fires missiles at the villain, but Crystallized uses his energy to make them explode.  The robot then flies in, and gabs Crystallized, but the electricity overpowers, and then electrocutes her in the process.  She screams, as her fried metal body then falls to the floor.  Lightwing comes back in, alongside Silver Talon, who is being carried by Sparkles.  "Thunderstorm,"  Lightening said as she uses her powers.  Now in control of thunder, she blasts bolts at the supervillain.  However, the bolts only power up Crystallized, as now even more energized, he unleashes a death ray beam that annihilates Lightwing.  She falls to the ground entirely KO.  Silver Talon then lands in front of Crystallized, but in pure embarrassment, Crystallized straight-up slaps Silver Talon, and that's all it took to make him fall off the tower.  He does the same with Sparkles.  The last two heroes who didn't fight, Black Feather, Wild Waves, and Wood Scraper, all jump in.  "Whirlpool."  Wild Waves said as he uses his powers.  He throws his whirlpool right at Crystallized, causing smoke to blast into the air.  "Ha!  Good like trying to shock us now."  Wild Waves yelled.  Soon, a lightning bolt comes down, and fries Wild Waves.  Black Feather and Wood Scraper look, and see Crystallized still standing,  and laughing.  "You fools!  Do you think a little water can stop me?  Wrong!"  Crystallized yelled as he laughs.  He then fires in his death ray, which goes into Uncanny Valley, Brother Bear, and Moon Fang.  "Jokes on you, I can do this.  Pecker."  Wood Scraper said as she uses her powers.  She forms an energy grappler, which she fires right onto Crystallized.  Then with a push of a button, she starts sucking the electricity from him.  She laughs, as he makes his power disappear.  However, Crystallized laughs, as he gives her what she wants.  Wood Scraper's weapon starts to spark up, and soon, straight up explodes in his face.  All that leaves is Black Feather, who looks at Crystallized with a shocked look.  "Shocked?  Yeah.  You should be."  Crystallized said, as he then zaps Black Feather.  He soon starts frying all the heroes over, and over again.  Just electrocuting the living life out of them all.  After a max of ten minutes of pure shocking, all of them are on the ground dead. 

Crystallized then laughs once more.  "I WIN!  I WIN!  I'VE FINALLY THE WAR!  [laughs].  Now, the time has finally come for you to give me your miraculous.  Well, except Uncanny.  She's just a robot."  Crystallized said.  Despite the pain, at least one hero tries to get up.  "No.  We won't give up, that easily.  [gets electrocuted again, and falls to the ground].  Ok, never mind.  He got us."  Moon Fang said.  "That's what I thought."  Crystallized replied.  Soon, the villain lets go of the rods, freeing him from the electric power.  He jumps down and approaches the heroes.  "Now, which hero should I steal from first?  Hmm, how about the raven boy?  He seems like a good choice."  Crystallized said.  Before he can grab it, he hears a hard pound on the ground.  He turns around and sees the TETG is now in pieces.  "What the?"  Crystallized asked in shock.  "Up here, Crystallized.  [stands heroically on top of the Statue of Liberty].  Did you think I miss this party?"  Eagle asked back.  "[gasp].  Eagle!  Your back!"  Uncanny Valley replied.  "You bet I'm back."  Eagle said.  She then jumps up and wraps Crystallized in her rombo.  She pulls with all her might, before kicking him in the face.  So hard in fact, that his helmet falls off.  Crystallized falls to the ground, as Eagle assists the others.  "Guys!  Are you ok?"  Eagle asked.  "Ow!  We're toast and not the good kind.  What are you even doing here?  I thought you were suspended?"  Brother Bear asked back.  "I can explain that later.  Right now, we need to stop Crystallized."  Eagle replied.  "Uhh, guys.  Look."  Moon Fang said.  They all face Crystallized, who gets up.  When they see his face, they all gasp in absolute shock.  Because standing before them is only one, Dean Gates.  "What?  Dean Gates?  Your... your Crystallized?"  Eagle asked in horror.  "I mean, yeah.  Of course, it would be me."  Dean replied.  "Wow!  This is more mind-blowing than any Noir I've seen.  Your teacher is the villain."  Moon Fang said.  "Well, accomplice to the main villain, but villain works fine as well."  Dean Gates replied.  "But, this makes zero sense.  You love your job.  You love to teach us.  You have no villain side to you at all.  What on Earth made you want to agree to be this monster?"  Eagle asked.  "Why?  Are you for real?  WHY?!  I'LL TELL YOU WHY!  IT'S BECAUSE TEACHING SUCKS!!!  [all of them gasp].  I joined this job, hoping I could still make a legacy for myself, but all it did was make my life a soul-sucking nightmare, I can never escape from!  That's the same for all the other teachers!  A job that looks like you can get paid, and earn loads of respect, but all you get is low status and no success!  Even you kids would agree with me here!"  Dean Gates yelled.  "I mean, he has a point."  Eagle replied.  "Oh yeah.  Teachers never get paid the kind they deserve."  Black Feather said.  "Understandable motivation."  Silver Talon replied.  "Psycho guy, but decent reason."  Wood Scraper said.  "Thanks for the support.  You can thank Eagle and Uncanny for why I'm here anyway."  Dean Gates replied.  "Uhhh, excuse me?"  Eagle and Uncanny Valley asked.  "You thought that was my only motive?  Nah!  Do you want a crazier, more surprising motive?  Well, here it comes.  I believe your Mother might have told you both about a little mistake she did.  One where she, accidentally dropped a kid so hard on his face, that it nearly broke it?"  Dean Gates asked.  "I do.  She told me sometime today."  Eagle replied.  "Oh sweet.  Well, you know what they say.  Every great story has a plot twist.  [gets close to Eagle].  Your, super, duper, awesome Mom, is the one who dropped me hard on concrete.  Leaving me with a messed-up face near graduation.  [Eagle goes into shock].  I had plans to become a doctor you know?  A famous, well know, doctor.  At least they make good money in some ways.  But because your Mom had to teach me a lesson for, making fun of her dreams, all the money that would have gotten me there, went into my facial surgery.  I had to lose my dreams, to save my life, only to then work a crappy, twelve-hour job, instead of being the person I dreamed of.  Meanwhile, she got to live her pathetic fantasies.  Never try to make up for what she did to me.  You know it's messed up when the beloved superhero, can have the power to create a deadly supervillain.  Do you know that?  So, when I got the offer to work for the man who gave me this power, with more money than I ever imagined, of course I would take that deal.  Even if it meant killing people, I would do anything to achieve my dreams.  Just like your Mother and Father."  Dean Gates said.  "So, all of this, was not only a way to get your dreams back, but also a revenge plan?"  Eagle asked.  "A+!  Everyone loves to see a hero fall anyway.  It's better than seeing them as the victor.  And the fact the hero of this story is the descendants of Majestia and Night Owl, along with a new generation of heroes?  Oh yeah!  That will make me very, very famous!" Crystallized replied. "Well, you forgot. No matter how powerful the bad guy is, they always lose." Eagle said. She then kicks Crystallized in the shines, and then sends him flying when she kicks him in the gut. That gives her enough time to help her team. "Liberation." Eagle said as she uses her powers. A feather goes into each one of the heroes. "United Heroez, you all feel unable to fight due to the pain you feel. Your pain has taken over your mental state. I free you from the mental traps." Eagle said. Soon, all the heroes get up from the ground. Despite the pain, they still get up. "Woah! I still feel pain, but I ain't going to let that stop me." Moon Fang said. "Me neither." Wild Waves replied. "Count me in as well." Lightwing said. Uncanny then looks at Eagle. "No, see how cool I was, or, you're welcome for being your awesome hero?" Uncanny Valley asked. "No. That was a part of me that is dead and buried. I'm your new, Eagle. [looks at Crystallized, who is ready to fight]. United Heroez, let's end this!" Eagle yelled. They all charge in at Crystallized, who pulls out his blade, and charges in as well.
