Spectacular World

The Aftermath

He claimed himself as God.

A Calamity Level threat that nearly wiped out the world fifteen years ago, the Emperor was a powerful villain who had conquered nearly every villainous gang in the world and forced them to work under him. He created a group known as the Organization and declared war on all of mankind. Using his power, he was able to twist and change people into powerful monstrous beasts. Of his beasts, four generals stood above the rest. Four that followed him into battle, betraying the world.

Golden God, a world-destroying machine. Princess of Life, who carried the heir to his throne. Fairy Queen, a trickster able to mess with even the strongest minds. And of course, his faithful Hell Hound, who would follow him to the underworld and back.

The four of them served the Emperor, and with the help of the Organization, they would have wiped out all of humanity. A hero, however, saved the day. Full Monarch. The newest Lord of the Sun and Cosmos. He would give everything, even his life. A battle that would shake the planet itself was said to have gone on for three days and nights. When it finally ended, both Full Monarch and the Emperor no longer drew breath. And on that very same day, despite all the chaos, a small fishing company found something in the waters near Oleander...

Just a few hours after the death of Full Monarch, Hope Lauren was born.

Now the world is in a new age. One where the heroes must hurry to get stronger. After all, you never know if a threat of his level could come back...

That is why it's important they grow.

But what of the villains? What of the people who viewed the Emperor as their hero? Where are they now?

White Spider stalked into the abandoned subway station and ripped off the stupid-looking cartoon spider mask that the idiot forced her to wear. She was a rather pretty girl at one point, maybe. Now her brown hair was messy and wild, her eyes were bloodshot, and heavy bags rested underneath them. Like most members of Zoo, she wore a suit, hers being pure white.

"This is so dumb!" The woman yelled, throwing her mask to the ground.

Their base was hidden away from the public, beneath everyone's very nose inside an underground railroad. Green Wolf had opened it up, removing all the tracks and giving it a large open space. His ability to manipulate and convert kinetic energy through blades allowed him to easily slice apart anything that needed to be removed. White Spider had also helped, using her power to put up walls and floors, giving them an almost mini bunker with various rooms. All held together thanks to her webs.

"Don't be such a spoiled brat." Green Wolf snorted as he walked down the hidden staircase they used to enter their base. Behind him, White Lamb followed, clutching a brand new portable TV. "So, you got beat up by a kid. Big deal."

"It's not that." White Spider gritted her teeth. "It all went to hell because of that bitch!"

"Aw, what's wrong, little Spider?" A mocking voice echoed above as Black Crow dropped from the sky, his black wings flapping. He had his arms folded, and his bird-like mask stared down at her.

White Spider could feel blood drip down her hand as she balled them into a fist, but she dared not attack. In Zoo, your name determined where you stood in the hierarchy. Everyone had a name based on a color and an animal. The second part of the name was determined by your power and animal mask. The color part, though, signified your role.

Anyone with the color white was based around Support. They were used to maintain the base and back up main teams. People like herself, White Lamb, or White Cow. The color black meant you were part of the front-line attack team. The main go-to fighters of Zoo. Black Crow and Black Shark were in this category. Red meant you were a solo member. Either you got this color because you were strong, or Green Wolf had no desire to deal with you and would just have you do your own thing until you died. Red Ape and Red Panda were part of this group. Finally, of course, was the color, Green. Only one member held that color at a time. Given to whoever previously killed the leader of Zoo.
