The trio formed a defensive triangle in front of the vortex. By now, over a dozen beasts had emerged through the portal. Titan bellowed, shattering the monsters with a ground punch. Capital Punishment pivoted, his guns a winged monster mid-dive and spraying three more with a multisport tactical SMG. Who the fuck sent these guys?'' American Man wrestled a tentacled beast-man his eyes glowing white the monster felt familer, ripping its limbs off one by one. "Hold the line!" he roared, as the vortex pulsed, disgorging more creatures. The Malicha fought fiercely, multicolored magic fists flying. Their incredible combat skills and magical weapons paired perfectly.
Tanks and soldiers fired at will, but nothing seemed to stop the onslaught. News choppers circled, attempting to capture the scene. Police cars formed a border around the battlefield. People screamed and ran in all directions while first responders aided citizens in the midst of pure chaos. Capital lived up to his name, punishing relentlessly. He impaled one on his blaster cannon and launched it into the air, where American Man flew through it—BAM! Fireworks of blood exploded, body parts scattering everywhere. The Green Mask sliced monsters apart with an energy sword, leading the S.W.A.T. team. He used his energy to reinforce their armor, creating a black-and-green death force.
A few more freelance heroes arrived and began assisting, as was desperately needed due the overwhelming number of monsters. A hero named "Commander" was causing significant damage.
He controled over three beasts linked to soul, which he could summon at will. Commander declared, "Striker, let's show them what power is all about!" His lizard-turtle monster tore through vortex beasts one after another, and he still had two more creatures at his disposal. He summoned the other two as monsters continued to out of the vortex.
TThe vortex convuls, spiraling ever wider A massive, spiked monster slowly emerged from the void, teeth dripping with acid. This creature was far larger than of the others. The enormous beast took several steps forward and roared "Did you miss?" Titian replied,Um, excuse me, we know you?" The creature laughed and grinned. "That my feelings. How could you forget your old, Corruption?" The heroes exchanged glances. "Impossible!" The creature extended its arms across the battlefield like poles, impaling the Mask straight through the chest. Its balled spiked fisit then exploded like a rock bomb, sending blood splattering in thirty different directions
Red Mask screamed, "AWWWW! YOU MOTHER***ER!"
flinging his body aside until it vanished. The Masked Malicha began rampaging, smashing monsters with blood-soaked energy boxing gloves. Titan leapt across the battlefield, extending metal claws from each fist—a custom feature of his suit covering his hands—and started blows on the monstrous foe. The creature retaliated, blood splattering every hit. Titan's suit glowed red and black. A warning sign flashed as he shouted, "I'll take this guy! Go for the rift!" Dislodging a piece from his suit, he tossed a device to American Man.
As monsters continued to pour forth, the vortex's gravity intensified. The massive vortex expanded further, drawing in debris and even causing cars to drift. A man appeared momentarilyed. "I think this is Corruption—somehow he's controlling these! We just have to figure him out!" he exclaimed. "I don't about this... He's even here. We have to close that vortex!" said Titan, his suit beginning to crack under the immense pressure as a monster loomed, ready to crush him. Yellow Mask was locked in combat so many enemies her entire form transformed into a yellow, astral dragon. Though monsters were falling, they continued their relentless advance. "I'm... overloading!" Titan roared, releasing absorbed energy in a blinding nova. A circular wave of erupted, disintegrating monsters and them hurtling. However, the blast struck the rift, seemingly energizing it and causing its colors to shift. Dark matter surged outward like wildfire, and burst of energy latched onto Titan, pulling him in. His suit deployed two metal cords, which pierced the sidewalk with a resounding "Crush!" to anchor him. "No!" he shouted.
Capital descended on aline as Punishment grabbed his arm. "O-suit straining," his suit's voice cautioned. They fought valiantly to hold off the monsters. American seized Capital and slammed into the ground, anchoring both heroes. However, Titian's suit continued to fracture under the immense strain; it was too heavy, and the additional tech failed to prevent him from being dragged. "Please don't let go... I don't want to die!" Titian pleaded as one of his cords snapped. His suit shattered completely, and the second anchor gave way. He was hurled into the void, screaming, "You traitors! How could you?" before disappearing. Capital cried out, "Noooooo!" as Titian vanished into vortex with countless monsters.
American Man growled he seized the EMP device, aff it to a, and hurled it forcefully at a monstrous entity emerging from the void, propelling it directly into the vortex. The Masked Militia encled the creatures with energy squares, the stragglers into the vortex. American Man fought relentlessly. The EMP detonated a resounding explosion initiating the collapse the rift. The chaotic vortex of energy imploded upon itself. The remaining beasts retreated as swiftly as possible pursued mercilessly by the Militia, who eliminated them with precision.
When it was over, silence enveloped the heroes. The Masked Militia stood over Red Mask's helmet, with Pink Mask unable to hold back tears. They exchanged solemn glances as General Zack and government officials swarmed the scene, gathering evidence, scanning the vortex site, and establishing research tents. The heroes walked among the remnants of the rift; American Man's costume was in tatters, and all of the heroes looked utterly worn out. He stopped and picked up a peculiar round weapon lying on the ground. Capital Punishment held a shard of Titan's suit, which still glowed red. "Think he's alive out there?" he muttered.
American Man gazed at the devastated cityscape. "I don't know, and I don't really care."
Capital Punishment retorted, "What's your problem, Big Blue? He just gave his life for this godforsaken world. Show some respect."
Fixated on the weapon in his hand, American Man replied, "Yeah, we all give a lot. He knew the risks. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go find my wife." With a thunderous boom, he took off, jetting toward the sun.
