Justice Hero Scootaloo

"Damn it, how? How did you get out of my maze?" An anubian Jackal asked, now handcuffed.

"It wasn't easy, but then again, I used to do mazes in my head all the time. This was just not an easy one." Rob said.

"My maze was supposed to be impossible to beat." The jackal said.

"Well I can't believe you of all people would stoop to such a level, uncle Laris." Patra said. "And right after we just celebrated Rob's victory over our most long standing foe Arachne as well." She added.

"Stupid freaking justice hero. I was close to devoloping a way to destroying that spider, and now he gets all the glory." Laris said.

"Well you know what they say: You were a day late and a dollar short." Rob said.

"A one liner? Really? At least it fits." Scootaloo said.

Patra giggled. "I think his one liners a little cute personally~" She said.

"Oh boy..." Scootaloo said.

"Well the good news, is your uncle seemingly had a lot of the shards I've been looking for." Rob said. "I'm only missing the one now." He added.

"So, guess this is goodbye again." Patra said.

"Hey, next time it'll be your turn to come see me. I promise." Rob said as he and Scootaloo left.

Patra smiled at them. "I promise the same." She said.

Okay, can it be any more obvious just how compatible the two are? Twilight would have a field day with this. Scootaloo thought to herself thinking back to Patra.

"So, the last shard is...here? But this is where Tank was." Rob said.

"But we didn't see it on his person the last time we saw him." Scootaloo said. "Then again, maybe he dropped it." She added.

"Maybe." Rob said before picking up the shard which was just lying there on the ground. Suddenly, before him and Scootaloo, a strange black shadow figure emerged.

"ArE yOu ThE oNeS wHo DeFeAtEd TaNk?" The strange shadow before them asked.

"That was us." Scootaloo said.

"ThEn YoU dIe..." The shadow figure said.

Demon of Hate
Astrotle Mondoli

Now this was an actual boss fight. The mysterious shadow figure was using elemental attacks out the wazzo: Fire, Lightning, Ice, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, and Elementaless...you name it, it was being sent towards the two heroes.

Of course, Rob was able to match this blow for blow, before the shadow figure suddenly transformed into a giant scorpian, which acted just like it should mostly, though the heroes mostly dodged it and then delt damage.

However, after that, the strange shadow morphed into what looked like a demon. "A demon? We were fighting a demon?!" Scootaloo exclaimed.

"Ouch...god my skin is burning. Normally, my skin doesn't burn from magical attacks. How can this be possible? Who are you mortals?" The demon asked.

"I'm Rob Snowden; I'm a justice Hero." Rob said.

"And I'm Scootaloo. But I don't see how it's my magics that are burning your skin." Scootaloo said.

"It was the human's magic that was burning my skin. What did you do? Normally magic doesn't do that to me. Nothing does really. The only way you could do that to me is if you had some kind of overwhelming amount of love within you." The Demon said.

"I don't get what your talking about, but I ain't about to let you take the creation crystal shards away from us." Rob said.

"Wait what? How many of those things do you have?" The Demon asked.

"Why should we listen to a demon?" Scootaloo asked.

"I may be Astrotle Mondoli, the Demon of Hate, but even I wouldn't dare bring all those shards together under one location. You have to destroy those things now..." Astrotle Mondoli said before suddenly a strange ball of complete and utter darkness appeared, but it was not Gorzon because it was floating.

"The hell is that?!" Scootaloo said before she and Rob beat up the ball of darkness.

"That was just some facimile." Rob said.

"Sure, it was one I created, but that was just to warn you. I may not like you mortals, but you are messing with something you can't handle." Astrotle Mondoli said before he vanished.

"Hmm...I find it hard to trust anything a demon said, but..." Crusader said. "I don't need too. My sword is reacting to something made of pure evil and despair residing in these shards." He said.

"Well then for the time being, the UNA will keep them under it's roof seperated just in case." General Hightop said. "By the way, I heard about the situation with Arachne. Normally, using deadly force without permission is frowned upon but...given the fact that it was eating civilians mercilessly without a care in the world...I think the UNA can overlook this even if you didn't know that information before hand." He added.

"I just reacted. I could tell Patra really was fed up with that spider for some reason. So I just...reacted." Rob said.

"Even a Metahuman jumps the gun every now and again it seems. I guess that just further shows how alike humans and Metahumans can be in the end. I'm not afraid to admit that I've reacted that way because my own feelings clouded my judgement. So I suppose the fact that you let your emotions cloud your judgement like that, only proves that despite all your powers, your still like everyone else." General Hightop said.

"Oh? I think I'm picking up Krono's energy readings from outside." Aaron said.

"Seriously? Call him DOCTOR Krono." Rob said.

Little did any of us know what awaited us this day...
