In an alternate future timeline, the Heroes Legion and all metahumans are gone and the world is a ruined shell of it's former self left over from the 'great massacre' where the survivors use what they can and do what they can to survive.

Disgusted by 'normal' humanity's hand in this worlds existence, Kagae Kishi has long ago forsaken his former calling as the Dark Avenger, content to let humanity suffer and languish in the ruins of their own making.

But all that changes when surprisingly two new metahuman siblings, and their sadistic crew appear and proceed to take over Lunar City. 
As a result, events are set in motion that bring the Knight of the Night back in action after 40 years of neutrality. 

Now the old hero is back, and is coming for revenge on the Ghoul Siblings and the Sadistic Five.

With a reluctant cynical prostitute named Rebecca Adler aiding him, can the Shadow Knight find both revenge and justice in his quest, and is he so far removed from the man he once was that he cant also find his hearts old sense of justice and love that gave him his humanity and made him a hero in the first place.

Also having been gone for so long, as well as being wise in the years, does he even stand a chance against the next generation of super-villains?

In an alternative version of Earth, humanity's been close to decimated by two large calamities, separate in time, with the span of a hundred years between them. Much was lost, other than lives, but much was also gained. Resources, civilisation, techonlogy, all these dwindled to near-nothing, but on advent of the First Calamity, magic came. And the few who could hold it in their hands, soon learnt how they could use it to their gain - and to help the fate of mankind. Or so they said. With great power comes great responsibility, but also greed and ambition. Now that nature had been conquered by the magical powers of those who carried that trait, they started looking elsewhere. Sickness, diseases, ailments big or small, these could all be eradicated. Given time, even death could be conquered, and immortality claimed! Unable to realise they were about to release a Second Calamity upon the world, those powerful scholars pursued their goals, with no regard for the consequences. And these were worst than they could have imagined - for the dead started raising from their graves and preying on the living. Some of them were even sentient. Years into the advent of the Second Calamity, mankind has devised ways of protecting those without powers, by use of the ones imbued with magic. Under the flag of the Confederation of Nations, hunters, scholars, healers, spellcasters, are trained and brought together in Covenants that fight the undead and make the world safer. But when the lurking creatures start acting out of character and unexpected events begin to take place, can the Confederation still be trusted? Follow the Quarter Moon Covenant as they hunt the monsters who seek to destroy them and struggle to understand what secrets have been kept from them. And from the whole of humanity, as well.

In another time, far from where we first began our tale, a young Star Warrior wants nothing more than to be a hero. With the help of his teacher, maybe one day he'll learn to use a sword--while taking the time to read a few comic books along the way. Life on Star World is great--at least for some people--but there's always a real worry tugging at his heart, made constant by the nightmarish visions that visit him almost every night... A time of evil is drawing ever closer, but Blue feels anything but prepared. Elsewhen and elsewhere, a monster is being trained to despise its people and hunger for their destruction. What happens if you teach a being how to use unbridled power, and then take away everything it's learned to care for, turning something pure and gentle into something hateful and cruel? Scientifically speaking, it might be interesting to find out... Such a beast must certainly be helpful in the coming war... One warrior helps to bind both of these threads together with the distant present that must be left alone a while in favor of other times. How does this hero bind the story together? Who are they? That's all anyone's guess, at least for now. What matters is that even far away from Popstar, even apart from the Warrior of the Stars, there are still stars that shine in the Galaxy, stars whose stories are more closely intertwined with his own than we might ever imagine. (I do not own the Kirby series or any part of the Kirby series, be it locales, characters, names, trademarks, etc. etc. Nintendo/HAL Laboratory does.

Akropolis by hcedwards
9 parts Complete Mature
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.

The Fountain of Dreams lies in ruins. The Mirror World is draining of life. Dreamland's color is beginning to fade away as every last sweet dream vanishes. One of the five points of Nintendo World is very sick. But how could any of this have happened?... A terrible foe has gathered the tools and weapons of every villain the Warrior of the Stars has ever faced and used them to turn himself into something terrible. And what's worse, this foe knows our heroes well, and intends to use everything he can against them. Dreamland is facing her darkest hour, and when her heroes find that many of their once-allies have turned their backs on them, what is to be done to save the fair realm? Will Light be restored to Dreamland? Or will the forces of Darkness and nightmares succeed in finally emptying the Galaxy of all its hopes and dreams? You've traveled far with these brave heroes, dear Reader. You've learned of a world beyond our own, a world not that far away. You've met and come to know six great warriors, some more likely than others, each with their own unique story. You've watched as they've experienced victory and defeat, rejoicing and loss, love and hatred, forgiveness and the withholding of such. But now our journey nears its end, and soon the curtain will fall on the Heroes of Dreamland. The only question that remains is, will the scene close on an again-peaceful Dreamland, or a world of Darkness and nightmares that will never see Light again? (The final book in the Heroes of Dreamland saga) (Rated PG for mild fantasy violence and some mildly scary elements) (I do not own any of Nintendo's locations, characters, etc. I claim no ownership of their property. I do own all my OC's, all plotlines and plot devices in these books that are of my own design, my original locations, etc. Please do not copy, paraphrase, or otherwise steal my work. Thanks.)

Took you away from the people you loved. They ruined your life, right? But... did they? You're stubbornness and skill capture the attention of a certain short black haired male.
