The Return Of Death

The last of the grunts hit the ground as Mermaid's water whip slammed into them. "This was kind of underwhelming." The girl commented.

"I told you." Legend hadn't even needed to lift a finger. Max and Mermaid had taken out all twenty grunts with ease. "They allow themselves to get cocky, thinking only Full Monarch can beat them."

"Villains like these guys are the worst." Ruby rolled her eyes and adjusted herself. The captain was flat on his stomach, being used as a stool, still gushing blood from his nose as the red-haired girl sat on him. "Maybe I should take them under my wing and teach them the real way to be evil!"

"That's a horrible idea!" Mermaid and Max both yelled at her.

Legend hobbled over toward the downed captain, who was still whimpering beneath Ruby. "I'll cut to the chase. Are you the one in charge of your entire gang?" He questioned.

Ruby hopped off of the leader, allowing the man to glare up at the Enforcer member before him. "So, what if I am?" The gang member growled.

Legend let out a grunt, and steam began to lift off his flesh. His frail body started to grow as massive bulging muscles formed along his arms and legs. He rose to nearly eight feet in height, and long, flowing blonde hair poured down his back. Everyone stared at him in shock, and Ruby quickly took a photo of his abs. "Then you'll be facing the wrath of the one and only Legend!" He announced, flexing so hard he shook the street.

Then it all vanished as his muscles shrunk back down, and he seemed to age several years, becoming hunched and gripping a cane to keep his frail form upright.

Despite that, though, the villain's face had gone pale. "Y- You're Legend! The Legend! Member of the Enforcers!"

"So am I," Mermaid said flatly.

"I was invited to join but turned them down since they're so weak." Ruby announced smugly.

The captain began to realize just how badly he screwed up truly...

Legend jammed his cane down on the man's gut, digging it in. "I know you aren't the real leader. Someone as weak as you is just an errand boy, right? You guys are behind the kidnappings, aren't you? If you talk, I might consider putting in a good word for you. If you don't talk, well... Ruby here isn't a member of the Hero Branch and is too strong for me to stop. I'd hate for her to get any ideas on how to get the information out of you."

The captain shot a look at Ruby, who picked his switchblade open and then bit into it, snapping the metal and swallowing it. She did it all while maintaining eye contact to assert her dominance. "Butt stuff." Was all she had to say.

"I'll talk!" The man grunted. "Just keep that freak away from me."

"Good answer."

"There's someone else pulling the strings! Several people, actually. They call themselves the Building Bros." The man explained.

"Building Bros?" Ruby snorted and spat out the blade she had been chewing on. "What a dumb name."

"This coming from a girl named Ruby Admiral." Max said flatly.

"Shut up Yellow Spark." Ruby said snidely.

Legend ignored his two teammates and jammed his cane down into the grunts gut. "Tell me about these Building Bros. Now."

"Y- Yeah, I'll talk okay. They were a member of Earth Prince's elite group, but after the Prince got wiped out along with his right-hand man, they turned to some other leader. I don't know who they're getting their orders from, but he's asked that they start taking people off of the streets. That's where we come in. Our job is to find folks and bring them to the Building Bros. Recently, though, they asked that we start bringing them Supers. Specifically heroes."
