The news anchor opens with the breaking news. "Catastrophe! The Promethean New York City of Superhero World is being invaded by-!!!"

*TIK, TIK, TIK, TIK, TIK!!!*

The Aswang King points to the New Yorkers as they are all captured. "CAPTURE THEM!!! PUT THEM IN CAGES LIKE THEY PUT US!!!" The Aswang King marches forward. "LET THEM KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE IN A CAGE!!! TO SERVE THEIR MASTERS!!! TO BE OPPRESSED AS THEY DID US!!! TO HAVE THEIR RESOURCES... STRICKEN FROM THEM!!! CAPTURE!!! RESTRAIN!!! ENSLAVE!!!"

Suddenly, Miguel can be seen blasting flames at several soldiers along with the King's army.

"A group of Kulam-Using soldiers rampaged the city of New York who call themselves 'the Aswang'. Reports are coming in about widespread panic from the populace. Men, women, and children captured from their homes. His message of the vengeance... this... 'Aswang King...' struck fear in all of us. The United States army and the Promethean Disciples are now being deployed. No one is safe."

Anna opens Prometheus' room. "Pro..."

"I know..." said Prometheus, packing his sticks on his holster. "Anna. I want you to be a good girl and keep your siblings safe. The world isn't safe anymore. Reaps. You're comin' with me."

The Reaper gives a big sigh and nods.

"What does the King want?" asked Anna. "He... He has Miguel..."

"Yeah. It's called 'Being a Complete Genocidal Psychopath.' He wants to capture or even kill every known Westerner and enslave them as vengeance for their imperialist ways. I planted an earpiece in Miguel's head back when we hugged him. I heard what happened. And I know who he is."

"And that person being-...?"

"His name is Basilio Sanchez. A doctor in Spanish times who experienced oppression from both the Spanish and the Americans. He participated with the Aswang Revolutions of my Earth during the Philippine Revolution and the Phil-Am War. But in the end, he was captured and experimented on in holocaust camps by the Americans. Replaced Andres Bonifacio to becoming King and twisted his ideals "

"Andres Bonifacio ate babies!?"

The Reaper sighs. "No. His ancestors did. But Andres was a good man. An ideal man. According to history, he was the Aswang that stopped such barbaric practices. Mr. Sanchez is known to have gained a warped sense of hatred for the Westerners and the Superpower Nations. He gained anger and hatred from all that pain. But Miguel gained loved. Sadly, the King manipulated him and made him be consumed by his own anger. That bastard... When I get my hands on him I'll-!!!"

Prometheus grabs his shoulder. "Easy, Reaps. There's a time for everything."

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

"We want to help..." said Anna.

"I want you safe. You people nearly died against Aurora. I'm not allowing myself to see that happen to you again. Okay?" Prometheus opens a portal as the Reaper follows after. "Stay here. I love all of you. Got that?"

"Same here," said the Reaper.

"Say, 'I love you' back, or I'll bamboo stick you."

The Reaper sighs. "I-..."

The portal closes.

Later... in the battle...

"RISE, ASWANGS!!!" yelled the Aswang King who marched in townsquare. "DESTROY EVERYTHING THEY'VE BUILT!!!"

"Not so fast, your Highness..." said the Reaper.

Several heroes land before them.

Dark, Herculea, Uncle Sam, and Captain Maharlica land behind the Reaper.

"Ready for Round 2? Oh! And you brought sacrifices!" sneered the King, as his soldiers laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Y'know what really IS funny? Your name. 'Basilio...'" said the Reaper.

The King squinted his eyes. "So... You've listened..."

"Yeah. I also realize how incredibly pathetic and petty you are. 'Conquering America out of spite'!? For shame. You're planning to enslave an entire race. The exact same SHIT that their government did to you!"

"And is that so wrong?"

"Would Bonifacio have wanted this? He fought for liberty."

"He's dead. Now... I'm here... And I fight for liberty as well. The world deserves their rightful leader. Their liberator from these Westerners. Besides. Aren't you a Judge. Didn't you work for them?"

"Yeah. I did. I was a member of the Reino de los Cerdas at some point without knowing when I left Pro to hunt down and find you. Which makes me beg the question. WHY!??!?"

"Hm?" smiled the King.

"Why!? Why did you kill my parents!?"

"Oh! That! Yes! Let me tell you why! Your parents angered me! They were annoying! Insignificant! So, I killed them!"

"Answer the question properly..."

The King laughs. "Okay, fine. Your father was like you. Judges. Children of Samson. His existence insulted me because he dares try to figure out who I was. You should be proud! You and your surrogate father did figure out what I was!"

"You were human. Why destroy humanity!?"

"I don't want to destroy humanity. I WANT TO DESTROY THE BAD ONES!!!"

"An entire race isn't 'bad.'"

"OH, PLEASE!!!! AMERICANS AREN'T EVEN A RACE!!! THEY'RE JUST A BUNCH OF FOOLS WHO WENT TO A LARGE CONTINENT FOR GOLD AND PROFIT!!! THEY ARE HERE SIMPLY TO LIVE 'THE AMERICAN DREAM!!!' A DREAM THAT CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE A MESSIAH MEANT TO SAVE US!!! Did they save us, Mr. Reaper? I saw you fight criminals day after day. YEAR AFTER YEAR!!! CRIMINALS CREATED BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY THEIR GOVERNMENT MADE FOR US!!! AND YET THESE AMERICANS ACT LIKE SAVIORS!?!!? They are criminals. A land of criminals."

"You're the only criminal here. And that's only because of one thing."

"What?"

"You sound exactly like them."

The King furiously disappeared and teleported in front of the Reaper, and while midair, he yells, "ATTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!"

Later...

A portal opens and the CoolDudeBus charges out of it.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" yelled the Seven Knights before crashing their bus into a dumpster.

Anna, Jedan, Lord, Happy, Athena, Gerard, and Fred sigh out of relief.

"Are you sure you can drive!?" asked Anna.

"EY OH POSITIVE, MISS!!!" Fred drives away while the others continue screaming.

Meanwhile...

Miguel growls as he caged several men, women, and children in their homes. "Welcome to your new home. You will now be living in cages like animals similarly to how you treated us as the animals the Aswangs already are. Hail the King."

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!!" yelled one man. "GET US OUTTA HERE!!!"

"I wish to get out, too," said Miguel. "But this... This is his freedom that he offers to all of us..." said Miguel.

"Miguel..." said a voice in his head. "Miguel... Stop this..."

Miguel looks in the distance and sees the Nazarene, shaking his head.

"Break free from his control... Miguel..."
