Chapter 1 - Break out star

The alarms of Blackwater Supermax screamed endlessly, echoing across the foggy Louisiana bayou like a broken police siren. American Man hovered 400 miles above the breached prison walls, watching. Heroes were scattered everywhere locked in battles, as inmates swarmed the grounds, teaming up against the guards. These weren't just ordinary prisoners—each of them had some kind of ability.

Blackwater one of the largest private prisons in the nation, had been constructed in Louisiana's swamp lands during the Hero Riots. It had long stood as a symbol of order and security since the first emergence of enhanced humans. Backed by taxpayer dollars and designed by enhanced humans themselves, with advanced containment strategies for enhanced individuals, it housed numerous mega-level ranked criminals and was truly one of a kind.

During a routine weapons inventory, inmates successfully seized control of the armory. After killing the guards on duty, they armed themselves, escalating the situation into chaos. Within a few hours, the turmoil had reached uncontrollable levels. News footage depicted guards being thrown from the prison roof like rag dolls.

Team Armageddon world defenders were on site, fighting for the prison. Fit Girl, Demon Babe, Black Magic, and OfCourse the legendry Mega Master were already engaged in the conflict. SpeedBump was fighting an overwhelming number of enhanced humans, potentially setting a world record. He was so fast all you could really see was a black and yellow shadow. He dashed through inmates like an antivirus cleaning up malware. His speed combined with the force of his punches could kill and average man. 

Mega Master had a giant smile on his face. As he slammed inmates around with ease. "I love our job, I really do," he said, grinning. His giant rusty metal armor continued to get covered in blood. He grabbed two inmates, one in each hand, and squeezed their skulls while smiling, blood exploded everywhere. Fit Girl glanced at him and smirked, "This is why you can't do interviews, Jay."

Mega Master: '' I like interrogations anyways.'' 

An infamous inmate with body-jacking abilities was causing widespread destruction, they called him Corruption. This particular villain was especially scary for the heroes. Since the man had never encountered an enhanced human, he couldn't turn into his personal puppet.

Three guards armed with Alpha Blasters were blasting through the courtyard against their will, functioning as a coordinated bodyguard swat team. His glowing neon white eyes mirrored those of his controlled victims. His long, curly red hair cascaded down the sides of his face, perfectly complementing his orange jumpsuit. He pushed through the battlefield until he came face-to-face with our Heroes. ''Team Armageddon, ha! I can't wait to take control of each and every one of you.''

Fit girl attacked the guards as she made her way to Corruption. They opened fire on her, she was getting thrashed. Mega Master came flying in shielding her from the blasters. '' Thanks, big guy!'' They shared a look. The guards were down before they even had a chance to react—SpeedBump had already taken all three out. Corruption was cornered, SpeedBump, Mega Master, and Fit Girl closing in on him.,

SpeedBump ran in to grab him but as soon as he touched Corruption his body sparked a jolt of white lighting. SpeedBump Blinked and his eyes were lit up white. Corruption and Speed truned around and started throwing fist. SpeedBump was on his side now, Corruptions loyal slave. He grabbed a few more guards and inmates nearby and took control of them. '' Kill them now! '' Corruption yelled in frustration. Inmates and guards clashed in chaos, the black and gray uniforms of the guards standing out against a sea of orange jumpsuits.

Fit Girl and Mega Master were back-to-back in an intense battle. SpeedBump darted and dodged with incredible speed, a blur of motion on the battlefield. As the guards opened fire as well Mega Master was preoccupied, he kept defending rush after rush attack. SpeedBump wouldn't let up and shots kept pouring on; Corruption seized the opportunity to grab Fit Girl. Pulling her close, he sneered, "Welcome to the club," before shocking her with his signature white electricity. Her eyes snapped open, glowing white, and an evil grin spread across her face.

Mega Master was the last one standing, completely cornered. The three surrounded him as he clenched his fists. SpeedBump charged forward and grabbed him with Fit Girl. He didn't even try to resist. SpeedBump sneered, "He cares too much for this one. He won't hurt her." Corruption stepped forward, placing his hand on Megan Master's head. Mega master squirmed and resisted until A flash of white lightning erupted, and Megan Master's eyes turned completely white.

American Man landed in front of them like a bomb, the ground shaking and splitting beneath him. "Release them now," he demanded. Corruption smirked and replied, "Not afraid I'll take you next?" American Man grinned. "Come and try," he challenged, flying straight toward Corruption.

But Mega Master intercepted him. Fit girl started attacking, American Man was battling all three at once. "Snap out of it, guys, come on!" he pleaded, as he dodged punches and thru counters, but it was useless. His team relentlessly defended Corruption with everything they had. Mega Master was massive yet surprisingly fast for his size, proved a tough opponent. American Man held his ground, focusing on Mega Master and Fit Girl, but as he fought, he couldn't help but wonder—where was SpeedBump? Where was Corruption? He could only see two of them. He grabbed Fit girl midair and whipped her around in a 360 by her legs, he let go and sent her flying. Corruption had disappeared in the chaos.

Boom! There was a massive explosion at the center of the prison. Everyone froze and turned to look. Out of the debris emerged SpeedBump, followed by nasty, mean alligator monsters. Six enormous alligators rose from the rubel, their scales shimmering under the stormy sky, their eyes glowing with predatory hunger. '' Oh fuck.''

American Man looked worried this was going make things harder. These creatures were strong and hostile. They advanced rapidly in all directions. Demon Babe had been nearby fighting a group of inmates with three guards. She was right in their path. American Man shouted, "Look out!" the creatures swarmed her like a virus. These genetically modified beasts, armed with razor-sharp claws and bulletproof hides, were engineered to kill. They were no joke remnants of an international shock trooper program. They had taken down more than one Heroe in their time.

American Man charged to her rescue as the prison continued to collapse, flames roared around them. Driven by a fierce protective rage for his wife and child, he fought through every monster in his path. With one mighty punch, he crushed a Gaitoraider's skull and sent another hurtling away. "Stay away from my family!" he bellowed with fury. Black Magic appeared beside the two heroes. "Need a hand?"

American man: '' Yeah, we gotta grab Mega, Speed and Fit girl Corruptions got all three of them.''

Black Magic: '' all three praise Hecate, I thought he could only grab people one at a time?''

American Man: "Looks like he's learned a new trick. Find corruption, and we can put this to an end.

SpeedBump came flying in on the prison walls. Fit Girl with him she opened fire with two double-barreled pistols. Black Magic protected himself he lifted his arms, and a glass globe covered him. As Speed dashed and darted, landing countless hits and jabs. Fit girl's bullets ricocheted off Black Magic's shield. Speed grabbed Demon Babe and began crushing and cracking. She teleported free right before American Man blasted him from behind, sending SpeedBump into a wall at 100 miles per hour. American Man turned to Black Magic, "Go now, find him! And you, get the fuck out of here—I got this!"

He leaned in and kissed Demon Babe. "I can't live without you please, go." She teleported away in an instant. American Man turned to see Mega Master and Fit girl approaching, both eyes glowing white under Corruption's control. Clenching his fist, American Man jetted toward them. "Let's do this!"

 There was no enhanced human on the planet had ever beaten him, despite many trying. He was three times the size of other heroes, an intimidating figure. The world's greatest his hulking presence struck fear into everyone— Heroes, monsters, guards—all stared at him in awe. 

Megan Master was the only hero who came close to being as massive! The two colossal heroes began punching and smashing, each blow shattering the air around them. Mega Master landed two heavy shots to American Man's stomach, but American Man grabbed his arm and hurled him over his back into a wall. Before Mega Master could even hit the ground, Zoom! American Man raced to the landing spot and crashed into him like a bomb—Kaboom!!!! dust clouds exploded.

"Let's finish this!" commanded American Man as he charged ahead, barreling through two massive Gatoraiders in his way. He hurled them aside like toys, smashing through more inmates. The Gatoraiders retreated into the murky swamp, vanishing beneath the water. For a moment, only ripples hinted at their movement before they launched a coordinated ambush. Fit Girl sprang into action, joining the chaos—impressive, given her lack of truly enhanced abilities.

Two Gatoraiders latched onto American Man's legs, dragging him into the bog, while a third clamped its teeth onto his forearm, acidic drool sizzling against his wrist. "Good boy " His eyes ignited with blue-hot intensity, releasing a beam that severed the jaw of the Gatoraider clutching his arm. The creature recoiled, gurgling as it collapsed into the water. Rising from the murk, American Man hurled the remaining two Gatoraiders into a dilapidated watchtower.

All of a sudden "Crash! Bam!" American Man went flying into a brick wall KABOOM! he was blindsided, into the cement out of nowhere. Mega Master descended upon him, delivering relentless blows. Black Magic cried out, "Mega Master, what are doing?" Demon Babe shouted, " It's Corruption! He's under control!"

Corruption laughed. "Come on, gentlemen, let's have some fun I missed playing with hero's." The guards under his control were relentlessly attacking the heroes; he had at least ten of them now under his finger. Blasters firing every direction Mega Master was engaged in a fierce battle with American Man, the two giants exchanging powerful blows. Corruption took control of a guard on a turret tower and began firing at American Man. Mega Master delivered two massive strikes, forcing him to his knees; SpeedBump came rushing in and out blasting Mega Master! but he was too big. Mega Master grabbed him after about five tries. '' he started to squeeze and squeeze; SpeedBump's bones started to crack.

The situation looked dire for the heroes. With countless inmates outnumbering them chaos burned all around, Black Magic was struggling to keep up. "There are too many! We need to retreat!" Demon Babe looked worried this was getting bad. '' If we retreat now, they will take the prison. '' Black Magic froze suddenly went silent, his body beginning to twitch. "He's trying to take...he stuttered me! Stop him!" he shouted. "Fight it!" Demon Girl screamed. His eyes turned white, and he gave a sinister grin. Black Magic spoke but it was not his voice "Too bad He's all mine now, and his powers are incredible. He's barely scratched the surface of his abilities. This is going to be fun,". Black Magic began destroying everything in sight. Dark mana was raging from his body as he continued to blast the heroes.

Mega Master hurled American Man aside as if he were a mere toy. The guards either dead or had fled. Fit Girl's spine was broken, and she lay against a pile of bodies in critical condition. SpeedBump was barley walking, valiantly standing with pride, but he was outnumbered. He was exhausting his energy, striving to keep them in the fight, but there were simply too many.! Demon Babe spoke urgently "If you kill us, they will hang you." ''The hero's, now surrounded, gathered in a desperate group, overrun and vastly outnumbered. Corruption stepped forward and sneered to the head of the horde '' If we kill you, there's no one to stop us from killing them.'' Black Magic hovering over him like personal security, "Well, well, look what we have here. I am going relish in taking each and every one of you for a spin. It'll be like test driving a fleet of new cars." The inmates erupted in laughter. "This prison is ours now, and we're going to teach these self-righteous do-gooders a lesson for helping the normies lock us away. This is our world now. Mankind can either adapt or perish—they are inferior species. I am doing this for all enhanced humans!" all of a sudden.

Boom! Missiles rained down from the sky, striking three separate quadrants all around. From the explosions emerged large metal guns, transforming from the missiles. "Target acquired," A robotic voice announced and commenced firing systematically at all threats with unmatched precision. Titan descended from above, executing a 360-degree dropping his hands, firing off as they rotated counterclockwise laying waste to inmates. He landed on an inmate, crushing the man's stomach. His suit's hand detached and shot through the head of another inmate who was running, and the resulting blood splatter was like a bomb exploding. grinning with a large smirk, he laughed, "Looks like you boys needed some help, huh?". Corruption unleashed all his puppets as he ran for cover, prison guards firing like mad dogs. Black Magic and Mega Master followed their master. Titan continued his rampage through the battlefield, his suit unleashing a barrage of lasers and rockets in every direction. Fit Girl was getting picked up by medevac-soldiers, Demon Babe joined them' let me help I can teleport her to the Z15 and be right back in the fight. ''

Titan helped American Man to his feet. "What's going on, buddy? You, okay?" "We need to rescue Mega Master and Baby Black now. I'm fine!"

Titan: "Okay, I'm on it, boss."

American Man: "What took you so long? I'm getting my ass kicked! They chuckled for a moment.

He flew through the prison with relentless determination, moving like a predator on a hunt. He tracked them inside an empty cell block, and cautiously advanced down the hallway. He could feel their presence. Moving deliberately, then—Wam! Mega Master struck. The giant smashing relentlessly; Boom! Smash! Titan dodged the punches exchanging blows with the beast. His suit fired two large metal rings, one around his chest the other his Legs. They coiled tightly and secured themselves. Mega Master toppled, struggling against their grip. He was immobilized as they expanded and reinforced their hold.

Titans suit was scanning everything as he walked thru the down the block. Demon babe came running up. ''Did you find them?'', he seized her by the neck viciously and pulled her close. "I found you, friend '' slammed Corruption to the ground SMASH! shattering the illusion. Titan squeezed his neck Corruption' squirmed in desperation. His neck turning red as he gasped for air. You will pay for the heroes you killed today."

At that moment, Black Magic teleported in, holding the real Demon Babe with an energy blade pressed to her throat. His voice was cold and commanding. "Do not move, or I kill this female," he warned. The room fell silent, the tension palpable. American Man and SpeedBump had caught up to the standoff both party's held stood firm, his gaze unwavering. "Release her," he demanded. Black Magic smirked, tightening his grip as their eyes locked. "If Titan Removes his hand from my neck and I'll let her go," he ordered. Titan had Corruption by the neck, Corruption had Baby Black Magic by the mind, and Baby Black had Demon Babe by the throat ready to kill within a second's notice. '' Let him go! '' American Man screamed at Titan, '' I don't think so he killed Racheal, I'm not letting him get away after everything he's done today'' 

SpeedBump: She's alive, I swear! The medevac has her. You got to relax, man.'

'' He has my wife and child Geroge let him go! 

Corruption: '' I snapped that bitch like a twig'' he spit on his mask.

"I'll show you a fucking snap!" Titan declared, tightening his grip on Corruption's neck, intent on killing him. At that moment Black Magic started casting spells that engulfed the entire room. Mega Master had broken free and joined the fray, while Demon Babe was able to get free, she teleported around, fighting, American man started bursting thru the bad guys, he grabbed Black Magic when all of a Suddenly, BOOM! WAM! kABLOOM! three deafening explosions and an energy blast erupted. Everyone was knocked out. The Room Fell silent all at once.

When the smoke cleared, Demon Babe and Corruption were nowhere to be found, leaving everyone else sprawled unconscious on the ground. American Man was down Titan was down. Inmates lay all over the place, Mega Master was staggering to his feet, the supermax was in ruin. As the dust settled, the creatures lay in heaps—scales shattered, tails twisted, blood pooling everywhere. Scar-Snout was dead, and the survivors barely clung to life. Medevac-soldiers were all over tending to inmates and heros. The others stood some lay silently, watching the scene unfold. The prison courtyard was littered with trembling guards and blood-soaked bodies.

American Man stumbled getting back on his feet he looked at The Titan lying unconscious. "Someone's going to hang for this," American Man muttered before soaring away, leaving the swamp and the prison engulfed in flames
