Victorians

The Victorians are a fictional group of Superhero Superiors who are published in Kratos' XD Comix series. Like certain other comic book characters, the Victorians are based off of real people on Kratos. In the comics, the Victorians are a group of 5 Superiors who were originally regular animals that worked for the military of several worlds, and because their combat skills surpass any other fighter in the UUniverses, they were abducted by a Kratosian terrorist organization called the Incursion which illegally turned them into Superiors in an attempt to make supersoldiers. Since they escaped and found their way to New Athens, they dedicated themselves as protectors of Kratos, and vowed to keep their origins a secret from Kratos (Since making a normal person a Superior is against the law), and keep their legacy a secret from the people at home. Trouble is, their own social lives also complicate things. They start to have trouble with their loved ones and concerned family who have found out they were missing. Their relationships with lovers dwindle, their jobs at the military is continuously compromised, generals and members of the brass get very suspicious, and worse of all, the Kratosian Goverment and Military have been starting to put two-and-two together. Eventually, in one issue, the leader of the Incursion and the Victorians' arch-nemesis, Black von Skull, A Skeletor/Cobra Commander/Joker/Generic French villain combo, discovers the Victorian's home worlds and kidnap their loved ones, and use them to force the Victorians into exposing their secret origin to the public. After Skull lets their loved ones go, the Victorians are immediately arrested, and Black is satisfied that he might've finally defeated his arch enemies. But what he didn't take into account was that the Victorians didn't suffer the fate that he expected them to be in. Instead of the Victorians losing their powers and being sent to prison, they were instead placed in a lifetime of servitude to Kratos because of Grotch explaining that it wasn't their fault they were like this, and wants the Victorians to stop von Skull, but after dealing with an undercover Incursion agent called Vanquisher, who has tried his hardest to keep the Victorians out of von Skull's way, they stop von Skull from trying to use nuclear weapons to get revenge on the city that took away his family. With von Skull captured and depowered, the Kratosian Government lets them go with no further troubles afterwards, and have been declared heroes, their relationships rebuilt, they earned the military's respect and admiration, and a relationship is formed with 2 of the Victorians. But the battles against the Incursion are just beginning. Skull escapes prison with the help of The Five Masters of Doom: Lord Cobar, Jamar, Ursina, Haines, and Captain Rook, (Based on Lord Cobra, Jafar, Ursula, Hades, and Captain Hook), and even though they didn't have the power to give von Skull his powers back, they still had the power to try and get revenge on the Victorians for humiliating the Incursion after all they did for them.

Issue #1: Rise of the Victorians
The first issue of the Victorians depict all 5 members on their home planets and their conflicts that lead them into becoming the Victorians. Laura (Miss Victoria), Edna (Eidolon Girl), and Forrest (Forrest Frost) were all born on Kra-38 and all serve in the same military. Laura worked as a scientist, Edna worked as a sniper, and Forrest worked as an Antarctic soldier, and all share a single friendship. Forrest has a secret crush on Laura, and she constantly doesn't seem interested in him. They all want to advance to a higher position, but their personalities and mistakes prevent them from doing so, even when they are too reckless in their attempts to prove they have what it takes. Meanwhile, on Kra-20, Simon (Thermite) is a demolitions expert who has been perfect in every single mission, but his commanding officer has been convinced that he is too well and too reckless in it. He causes serious injuries that cost them thousands of dollars, added by the destruction of property which cost millions. This has been giving Simon the risk of being reassigned from demolitions expert to a regular 2nd-class soldier, which Simon really hates. He is more comfortable being a demolitions expert, and nothing else, so he decides that he can prove that he can cause no more damage. But a single mistake causes over 30 people to be killed in an explosion, and he is immediately reassigned from demolitions forever, angering him to the point of going AWOL, and therefore risking the chance of getting arrested for desertion. Meanwhile, on Kra-05, Pratt (Shadow Wing), is a worker at Interpol who is a very stealthy and deceiving agent. His spy skills have been the best for a while and was preparing to be promoted to a higher rank. Unfortunately, his brother, Terry, wanted to rank up, too, and yet, everyone hates him for being too full of himself, and was denied for every chance he gets, and only his brother gained the right to rank. So, taking matters in his own wings, Terry was able to sabotage the progress of his brother's next mission, but a person died as a result. Pratt's training and his own secretly hidden cameras exposed his brother's dishonest work, and when Terry was fired, he harshly scolds Pratt for it and tells him that he might never get another position of his favorite job again, and he'll lose everything because of his own brother, and declares to never want to have anything to do with him again. Hurt by the fact that his brother's words were half-right, Pratt quits Interpol for ruining his brother's life and decided to seek a normal job in the hopes to try and support him.

All 5 of these people were being watched by Incursion, and Black von Skull declared them the perfect addition to his plans to take over Kratos, and ordered their capture. On Kra-38, Laura, Edna, and Forrest had a conversation about their failure to advance, and feel that they are never going to, making them feel inferior to the crowd. On Kra-20, Simon is hoping to become the demolitions expert of another military, but before he can do it, he is caught by his old military circuit, and is threatened with jailtime for his desertion, and tries to escape with the forces in hot persuit. On Kra-05, Pratt is still looking for normal work, but his depression caused by his brother's words has left him unable to gain the will to do it. Then at the same time, Superior spaceships abduct all 5 of them, and take them away, making everyone searching for them suspicious, and try to constantly search for them. On Kratos, all 5 people are brought together and meet face-to-face with Black von Skull, who reveals that he has the chance to give them all what they want, and promises to fulfill their wishes and bring them back to their homeworlds if they agree to go through a simple test. He wants them to be given secret powers and for them to donate their improved DNA. When they begin questioning them and find out his true intentions, they try to escape, but they are unable to. They are forcefully injected with quantonium that grants them all superpowers. Laura is given super-strength, telepathy, super-flight, and heat vision, Simon is given pyrokinesis and super-flight, Edna is given ghosting powers, force-field generation, and invisibility, Forrest is given cryokinesis and super-endurance, and Pratt is given a sonic-scream, teleportation, mind-control, and a psychic shield. But what von Skull failed to take into account was that this allowed them to break free, and instead of trying to stop him, they escape successfully, and not only discover the new planet they are on, but they find that their superpowers are at first hard to control, but over time, they get the hang of it. They all cause accidents, but stay together to figure things out. However, when they discover a robbery, they immediately use their powers to stop it, and leave without saying anything to the authorities.

Anxious to hide, the 5 people find an abandoned business building on the outskirts of the city they're in, New Athens, and take refuge there. After the trouble they had caused on their homes and this new alien world, they try and figure things out together. They introduce each other, and think of what they can do with these powers that they've been given. When they discover old comic books, they get the idea that they form a super-team, naming themselves the Victorians. They also give themselves their own names, and after weeks of fighting crime and gaining their own jobs, they not only gain the money they need to convert the abandoned building into their headquarters, but they also discover something risky. They find that making normal animals Superiors is against the law, and after briefly panicking, they decide that the best thing to do is keep it a secret. They also take into account that von Skull might know this, too, and will do all in his power to stop them. So they decide to fight crime, keep their cover, never let people know they were regular animals, and never allow von Skull to discover their families or loved ones' whereabouts back at home.

Issue #2: Robot Rampage
5 days after the last story, the Victorians gain the chance to introduce themselves to the Kratosian Government in Prometheon, and are granted the chance to be great heroes by Grotch Prometheus himself. They were able to keep their secrets from everyone, and were also able to do it in front of telepaths by clearing their minds of it, never giving them the chance to read their memories. They master it very well, and with it, no one was able to figure out they were once normal so easily. After a couple of weeks of bringing justice to Kratos, their names were made famous, catching the attention of von Skull. Even though he knows where they came from, he can't use it to his advantage because he knows nothing about their pasts and loved ones, and that's what he's trying to gain. His first attempt to gain it is to have a thousand of his robot soldiers invade New Athens, and search every building for information or even for their location. He launches a large carrier ship full of them to get their attention. When they do, the Victorians put up a good fight, but the robots outnumber them 1000 to 1, and they are immediately captured.

The Victorians are strapped to technologically-advanced mind-control shackles that render them unable to move their bodies, and von Skull reveals that even though he will try and get the information he requires, that his robots are not done with their quest yet. They still have orders to search for their hideout and steal everything for more information, even if New Athens happens to get demolished in the process. Miss Victoria concludes that their hideout has information far more sensitive than the location of their parents or friends, including a nuclear fusion reactor that could destroy New Athens if it's weaponized. With the shackles leaving them numb and a machine ready to scan their memories of the location of their loved ones, Victoria calculates accurately that she can use her laser vision to bounce across both the machine and the control panel for their shackles. The calculations turn out correct, and both the machine and their shackles are disabled, freeing them. They escape and make it all the way to their hideout which has already been found, and the nuclear fusion reactor's emergency self-destruct is activated. The heroes are able to prevent the robots from stealing anything, and they are able to stop the reactor from exploding at a fraction of the last second.

After that, the robots are all destroyed when the Victorians find the source of their power in a generator located a few miles from New Athens. Once all the robots are deactivated, the Victorians relocate their hideout by having Miss Victoria literally lift the building to another more secluded location, and they do it without disrupting the reactor's fragile core. Meanwhile, while von Skull was unable to get the info, he was able to collect some DNA samples from the Victorians, giving him another plan to get the info he needs.

Issue #3: The Nega Victorians
3 days after the last story, von Skull manages to make clones of the Victorians with the obtained DNA he got from them. He hoped that this would allow him to gain the information about their families and loved ones. Sadly, the Victorian clones have little information on their hosts' pasts, but retain a main majority of their memories. While von Skull tries to corrupt them, it doesn't go well when not only do the clones find out about their hosts, but that von Skull wants to use them as henchmen, which they find totally lame. So they escape after doing a great deal of damage to his hideout, and they try and do their own fun with their hosts, calling themselves the Nega Victorians.

The Nega Victorians' first move is murdering investigators, obviously trying to frame the Victorians. They decide to wait before they expose their true colors until the time is right. As they expected, the Victorians are blamed when the Nega Victorians are spotted on cameras and dressed as them. When the Victorians are out fighting crime in New Athens, they are immediately placed under arrest for the murder, and because the crime scene had their DNA in it, they are dubbed as guilty, and placed in Superior Jail. There, they are forcefully fitted with meta-suits that prevent them from using their superpowers to escape, and are placed in cells surrounded with DNA-scanning fields which would zap them if they tried to escape. In Prometheon, Grotch is puzzled that the Victorians would do such a crime, and is convinced that they didn't do it. Because nobody will listen to his opinion, he tries to investigate himself. Meanwhile, the Nega Victorians have taken control of their hosts' secret hideout, and with it, they start devising a plan to take over Kratos. And to make sure that no one tries to stop them, they relocate the hideout the same way their hosts did before. With their new location, even Grotch couldn't find the location of their hideout.

At Superior Jail, the Victorians are angry that they are unable to escape from their cell. Just as they are about to give up, Miss Victoria discovers that there might be a way to remove their suits so they can escape. But even then, they need to remove the DNA field so they won't get zapped. That's when an unknown figure comes at the barred window of their cell, introducing himself as a secret agent named Agent Mathis, who has been sent by Grotch to try and break them out while Grotch went out in New Athens to figure who framed them. Mathis gives them a small device called a Shockwaver, meant to boost the rate of a Superior's superpowers, that way Shadow Wing can use his teleportation to successfully get the rest of the Victorians out of the cell once they get their suits off. While they do this, Grotch discovers a small clue on the crime scene: a small piece of hardware with the Incursion symbol on it. He figures out that Incursion might be responsible for this, and is able to locate their hideout and knock some sense into von Skull and destroy his reinforcements. Von Skull reveals that they created clones to try and get info about them, but is unable to tell Grotch about their secret because he refused to listen, and left before he could say anything.

Mathis reports his progress to Grotch, and is ordered to help him find the unknown location of the Victorians' hideout, which he speculates that the Nega Victorians might've claimed for themselves, and are possibly searching for a way to take over Kratos. Meanwhile, after a couple of hours, the Victorians get there suits off, and this triggers the suit's alarm systems, and they all activate the Shockwaver, and it allows Shadow Wing to teleport them all out of the cell, and into the middle of New Athens, only to be chased down by the police forces. Despite the police forces having the technology to capture even the most elusive of Superiors, the Victorians are able to successfully lose their tails. They head to where their hideout once was, only to find that it's gone. Even though New Athens is searching for them, they search New Athens for their hideout. As they do, the Nega Victorians complete their plans for Kratos. They decide that they convert Miss Victoria's prototype supercomputer into a giant power-disruption device that will allow them to control all the power in New Athens, and with access to the entire radio broadcast system and a highly-advanced satellite system, they can spread their power-disruptor's power all over Kratos, giving them full control of the power in all of Kratos. But when they find out that the Victorians have escaped, they activate their broadcast system control, and pose as the Victorians, declaring that everyone in Kratos obey them, or lose their power. This causes widespread panic all over Kratos, and even the Victorians are able to pick up the news. They soon run into Grotch and Mathis, who have also heard the transmission. To pinpoint the Nega Victorians' location, Miss Victoria creates a radio-wave detector our of the leftover scrap metal of a dumpster near a lab building, and use it to find the source of the radio waves spreading throughout Kratos, and find the location of their hideout.

Once they find their hideout in another secluded area on the outskirts of New Athens, they confront the Nega Victorians head on. A battle ensues, and the Victorians are able to use their broadcast system to tell everyone on Kratos that they are innocent, and evil clones are trying to take over their planet. The battle between the Victorians and Nega Victorians, especially Miss Victoria, and her doppelganger, Nega Victoria, who take their battle through New Athens, and major property damage is caused. While they battle in the city, the others battle in the hideout, and Grotch attempts to take away the Nega Superiors' powers, but can't tell who is who. But listening to the dialogue of each fight, he manages to successfully do it to the evil clones, that way they can arrest them. Meanwhile, the battle between Miss Victoria and Nega Victoria is aided by the police forces, though a few casualties are made. Of course, Grotch is able to reach them, but again, cannot tell who is who. Judging how both of them are claiming they're the real Miss Victoria, and not doing dialogue the same way the other Nega Victorians were, Grotch tests their intelligence to determine the real Miss Victoria by asking an obvious question which Nega Victoria responds "Oh, come on, even a know-it-all like YOU would know THAT!", giving herself away, allowing Grotch to take away her powers, and arrest her. While the Nega Victorians are put in the same cell the Victorians were placed in, the public apologizes to the Victorians for their accusations. But what the Victorians are unaware of was that during the battle, Mathis found sensitive information that almost revealed their identities. Yet, he ignores it. Plus, while investigating them when they were arrested, the Kratosian Government found out that there might be something sensitive to the Victorians than they originally thought.

Issue #4: The Bombs of Mystery
A week after the defeat of the Nega Victorians, von Skull is still angry that those clones turned on him, and is glad that they're locked up. He has a new plan in mind. He hires the help of an Incursion agent from another part of Kratos to help find the location of the Victorians' hideout, which constantly keeps changing. This Incursion agent has been 'ruined' by Kratos when he was discovered to have illegal military technology by Grotch, and is now seeking revenge. His name: Ordnancov, Incursion's most successful bomber. For just $100,000, Ordnancov agrees to help capture the Victorians. So he gains all his henchmen and goes to New Athens to begin their plans.

5 days later, the Victorians discover that their secrets have nearly been found out by Mathis and the Kratosian Government. This makes them wonder what's going on back at home. Their families and old friends might be worried sick about them, and they can imagine that their disappearances are being investigated. Yet, they have no way to see what's going on at their homeworlds. So Miss Victoria decides to convert the power-disruptor the Nega Victorians made into a satellite system meant to find their home planets and see how they're doing. Their new hyper-satellite is seen going up into the sky, yet few people seem to notice it. The Victorians then activate the device to search for their homes once the hyper-satellite is in space so they can see what's going on, and they secure the device with a neutronium-armored vault to ensure that no one gets in and disables it. While the device is tracking their homes down, their transmission goes on and Ordnancov's voice is heard. He introduces himself, and he reveals that he has planted bombs all over New Athens, and sets them all to explode within 24 hours unless he deactivates them, and he will only do so if the Victorians surrender to him in a hidden underground room in the subways. Devastated, the Victorians go out and try to diffuse the bombs, despite Ordnancov's warnings that the bombs cannot be disarmed, even for a genius like Miss Victoria.

They find out that in just 5 days, Ordnancov's forces have planted over 500 thermobaric bombs, and 5 hydrogen bombs all over the city's underground labyrinths. They soon discover one of the hydrogen bombs, which is filled with a highly-complex bomb matrix that even Miss Victoria can't possibly crack. To make it worse, they realize that even if they COULD disarm the bombs, they won't disarm ALL of them in time. So they have no choice but to surrender. They arrive in an underground Incursion base hidden inside the subways, and they can even see some of the thermobaric bombs lodged onto the walls. They had planted bombs everywhere, even in the Incursion base itself. Those bombs are as complex as the hydrogen bombs, too. They find Ordnancov himself, who keeps them at bay with a detonator that will set off all the bombs they've planted. He reveals that von Skull has paid him to capture the Victorians and force them to reveal the location of their loved ones. Before he can force them to reveal it with the detonator, he figures out that they had launched a hyper-satellite in space to check on their homeworlds when one of his minions claims he has seen it. So he imprisons the Victorians in a laser cell fitted with collars that will trigger an alarm if broken or if they exit the cage, and Ordnancov goes off to search for their hideout and take control of their satellite after setting the bombs to go off in precisely 2 hours.

However, Ordnancov made the mistake of leaving his disobedient follower, Serena Shengavich, to guard the Victorians, and when she felt disgusted that Ordnancov was still gonna destroy the city even when the Victorians surrendered, she deactivated the cell and collars after disorientating the rest of the guards, and then tells them that the bombs are much different than other bombs. The hydrogen bombs are M155 Hydro-Bombs with electromagnetically-locked matrix systems that can only be disabled by the removal of several types of disguised machinery, which will deactivate the barriers, and allow them to remove the hydrogen fuel cells that power the bombs. The others are M59 TB-Bombs that don't take too long to disarm, but they have the same matrix as the hydrogen bombs, only with less hidden circuitry, and a smaller ozone fuel cell. They realize that with just 2 hours left, they needed to work together to disarm all the bombs. Shengavich says that she has been working for Ordnancov so long, she can disarm a bomb in just 5 seconds. So, while the Victorians disarm the hydrogen bombs, Shengavich is able to disarm the thermobatic bombs with no problem.

Meanwhile, von Skull and Ordnancov start to have a bad fallout at the Victorian hideout when Ordnancov charged extra for showing him the satellite, prompting von Skull to insult and fire him. Outraged, Ordnancov decided to activate the bombs early, only to discover from the arriving Victorians that all bombs are deactivated thanks to the help of Shengavich, making Ordnancov feel stupid to leave her in charge. With his own henchmen retreating like cowards, and von Skull escaping without a trace, Ordnancov was forced to fight them himself. But even though he put up a good one, the Victorians teleport him to his hideout, and throw him inside the previous cell they were in. Ordnancov, after underestimating his assistant so much, swears no more allegiance to the Incursion and to keep their secret quiet, but the Victorians insist he was still going to prison. So he decides that his own life is no longer worth it, and gets the Victorians to leave by activating a frag grenade, and the Victorians escape from the blast that destroys not only Ordnancov, but the underground Incursion base. Eventually, the following day, all of Ordnancov's henchmen turned themselves in now fearing the Victorians and hating the Incursions for their stubborn greed and desertion. Shengavich even turns herself into the police for serving Ordnancov, despite the Victorians' pleas. But she promises that they will meet again someday. Once she goes to prison, the Victorians are back to doing their herowork, and even relocates their base AGAIN!

Issue #5: The Perfect Adversary
2 days after the last story, the Victorians are at a standstill. The location of their hideout keeps getting discovered, and they know that it will keep going on until their secret is exposed. So they decide that it's time to give their hideout new upgrades. Within 2 simple weeks, the Victorians convert the base into a mobile rocket-propelled base which can land on over 25 other hidden sockets around New Athens or it's outskirts that can lock the base into place, and the base is even given a new appearance. The interior looks the same, but it's given a better security system, better machinery, and Miss Victoria is even planning on making a mobile command center for them to travel Kratos on, but it is 3% completed. The satellite is still searching for their homes, and the control panel for it is still protected by a neutronium barrier. The fusion reactor core is even carefully converted into a less-lethal mini cold-fusion reactor that provides just as much power as the old reactor. Almost everything in the base is voice-activated. With these changes, the Victorians were sure that it would be more difficult to find them now, and they had to ensure that the satellite's 45% completion was undisturbed.

Meanwhile, von Skull decides that for the time being, the satellite should not be retrieved, and even their ships would never find it and use it. He decides that all operations focus solely on the Victorians. He decides that getting help from superpowered henchmen was useless, and that he needed to create a supersoldier, one that he failed to create from the start. He thinks that he might not need any robots, clones, or mad bombers when he can just create one sole Superior with powers far greater than the average Superior. Luckily, he finds that in the form of an spoiled 18-year-old marmoset outcast who was disowned by his parents for costing them their job at a quantonium industry. He ordered his capture, and finds out that the marmoset, named Harrison Negathon, had been disowned because he asked for a superpower for his birthday, but when his parents lost their jobs by taking a quantonium canister without permission, they blamed him. So, von Skull decides to give him exactly what he wanted: invulnerability. To make Harrison more willing to cooperate, they promise to give him much more power, and ask that he do as he says in return. He agrees, and they give him not just quantonium, but a variety of other substances, as well as using his powers to illegally amp his superpowers, making him a tall amped-up Superior supersoldier, naming him 'Vanquisher', the perfect adversary.

Vanquisher enters New Athens and starts going on a rampage, gaining the attention of the Victorians, who are surprised at his power. Vanquisher introduces himself, and tells them that he was made by von Skull to be 'the perfect adversary'. And turns out, he is. His superpowers are much stronger than the Victorians', and the Victorians wind up getting their butts handed to them, forcing them to retreat. But Vanquisher is too relentless to let them go, and chases them down to their hideout, where he begins destroying a majority of it. But what's more surprising is that he actually has the power to take away the Victorians' superpowers. And that's exactly what he does. He takes them away, and claims that they won't get them back unless they reveal the location of their loved ones. When they refuse, Vanquisher leaves, claiming that if they change their minds, he'll be ready. Vanquisher reports his success, and von Skull is pleased that not only has he taken away their superpowers, but he has seriously injured them, making it easier for him to capture them. So, von Skull orders Vanquisher to capture them and bring them to him.

Meanwhile, the Victorians are confused that they would actually lose a fight, as well as a majority of their hideout and their powers. Plus with the damages, the hideout is unable to relocate itself. They were at least lucky that the mobile command center or the satellite control panel wasn't damaged. But even without their powers, they concoct a plan to get them back. They take into account his invulnerability, and know that it does have a weakness to pressure, power, and impact. Once their plan is ready, the Vanquisher returns to capture the Victorians, but then the Victorians activate their security system, and trap him in a laser cage. They programmed the laser bars to maximum power, and even his invulnerability won't protect him. They find out that he intends to capture them, and they make the laser cage squash him unless he gives them their powers back. But they fail to take into account that Vanquisher has heat vision, and shoots at the laser power, freeing him, and allowing him to successfully capture them. They are all brought to von Skull, and are surprised that their intelligence and teamwork surpasses their superpowers, and know that they can still stop Vanquisher. So they decide that enough is enough, and they decide to bring the Victorians out in public and reveal their secret, deciding to never give their powers back. With the Victorians unable to escape from their mind-control shackles, they are seemingly doomed.

Hopefully, Miss Victoria has another plan. She is able to trick Vanquisher into giving them their powers back by challenging him into a rematch, which he finds too tempting. He gives them their powers back, and even though they escape, they keep their promise and begin another battle with him. This time, the Vanquisher is losing badly. Their whole battle takes them to New Athens' Golden-Gate-like Nero Gate Bridge, which takes them over 800ft in the air. Hopefully, none of the fighters are afraid of heights, and have the skills to stay balanced. Unfortunately, the Victorians accidentally break Vanquisher's right arm, leaving him unable to steer when he flies. Fearing for his safety, Vanquisher forfeits the battle, and explains that he joined Incursion because he was wronged by his parents, who disowned him for costing them their jobs at a quantonium industry. Feeling bad for him, they help him up, but the damage done to the top of the bridge by the battle causes him to lose his balance, and fly uncontrollably down into the water, where he is assumed to be dead. A day later, Miss Victoria administers a medicine that heals their minor injuries from Vanquisher, and still feel bad for him. They soon repair their hideout, relocate, and continue their work. Meanwhile, von Skull recovers Vanquisher's body, and they refit him with a new cybernetic right arm, and a new artificial neck, which his neck was broken on the impact. Hopefully, von Skull was able to defibrillate him, and bring him back. Blaming the Victorians for nearly costing him his life, he continued his subjugation to von Skull, and swore revenge.

Issue #6: Journey Back Home
3 weeks after Vanquisher's defeat, the Victorians' satellite is now at 100%, and has successfully located the Victorians' home planets. When Miss Victoria activates it, they release teleporting probes to their home planets, and begin to discover what they're parents and friends are doing. For Miss Victoria, her parents and younger sister do miss her that much, and even her military circuit is searching for her, Eidolon Girl, and Forrest Frost. For Thermite, his parents and 4 brothers, though they are disappointed at the desertion he committed, miss him so much, but the military is still searching for him and willing to place him under arrest. Eidolon Girl's parents miss her a little bit, but don't mind too much. In fact, their crying lasted only 2 minutes. By no means are they bad or uncaring parents, though. They care a lot, but they understood that a military life is hazardous and assumed her disappearance is military-related and are actually hoping for the best and are simply being rational about it, but they do go in seperate rooms secretly to truely cry it out. Forrest Frost's parents and 6 siblings do miss him very much, and they believe that he went out into the Antarctic and froze to death, and his friends don't miss him that much. As for Shadow Wing, his parents miss him so much, and they don't care that he blames himself for ruining his brother's life. His brother, surprisingly, does miss him when he did had a reconsideration about being upset and harsh. His life, actually, didn't go too bad as he thought. He won a lottery and became rich, even gaining a job as a police officer. But money could only bring so much happiness, material and monitorial gain, and paid companionship from butlers and being around fellow officers could only bring so much happiness. His old Interpol circuit, however, are searching dearly for him, and want to cheer him up for his mistakes. After seeing how tragic their old lives have been without them, they decide that they can't be lost forever, and they immediately plan a space trip back home, and tell everyone what they've been up to since they left.

Unfortunately, this gets the attention of von Skull, who knew deep down that they would be 'homesick' once their satellite was finished. So, believing that this is his chance to discover their loved ones' whereabouts and finally use them to expose their secret to Kratos, he readies a spaceship, and attempts to follow them. Both teams prepare their spacecrafts to blast off. In 2 weeks time, the Victorians prepare their visit. They buy some flowers, they invent a rocket that can separate into 3 so each of them can return to their homes, and they also take into account that von Skull might know about this, and is attempting to follow them to discover their identities and true lives. Von Skull prepares to send 3 spacecrafts, him commanding one of them while 2 other android duplicates (nicknamed the Gemini Androids) lead the others, and attempt to follow them to their homes. Miss Victoria, Eidolon Girl, Forrest Frost, and von Skull travel to Kra-38, Thermite and GA-1 go to Kra-20, and Shadow Wing and GA-2 go to Kra-05.

On Kra-38, Miss Victoria, Eidolon Girl, and Forrest Frost land in a secluded area in Illinois, and camouflage their spaceship so no one can see them landing and cause panic. Miss Victoria goes through the guidelines on this whole trip. She even provides the guidelines for their other 2 members on audiobooks. They first go over the machinery they will need to navigate and meet up again, such as high-tech wrist-communicators equipped with GPS' (for determining location), homing devices (For pinpointing comrades' location), emergency holographic disguises (For avoiding danger), jamming devices (For keeping their locations safe from von Skull), and alarm systems (For alerting the entire team if von Skull knows they're home). They are even provided some regular clothes so they can look normal, and some jet packs so the non-flying Victorians can travel faster. Next is their trips home. She tells them both that all 3 of them will take their own routes on their wrist-communicators that are thoroughly evaluated to make sure they stay out of plain sight, and the places they need to stay and take a break. Finally, the most important rule is to keep a close eye out for von Skull's forces. Ready to go, they each separate. Forrest Frost's old hometown of Springfield, Illinois, which he had to take a trip to McDonalds' for a food break, he finally found the home of his parents and 6 siblings, who are amazed that he is okay. Forrest, after closing the curtains and locking the door, tells everything he's been through to his family, and shows them his superpowers. His parents and siblings, of course, agree to keep this a secret, and they have dinner together. Eidolon Girl flies her jet pack all the way over Miami, Florida while staying invisible in the sky. She goes as high as she can to make sure that no one hears her jet pack, and she finally locates her home, finds her family, and secretly shows them her powers and tells everything she's been through during the night. Miss Victoria, on the other hand, goes to her hometown of Hoboken, New Jersey. She blends into the crowd and never shows her superpowers to the public, gets a few food breaks, and visits her home where she secretly shows them her powers, and tells them about her and her super-team. All 3 people say that they must stay for only 3 days because they must return and make sure that von Skull isn't aware that they're home, and that he could use their families and friends to reveal their vital secret of normal people becoming Superiors being illegal. While they explain that, von Skull's ship is unable to find any of the Victorians due to their jamming devices, and they do it with a cloaking device to ensure that all they need to intimidate is the loved ones of the Victorians. Despite their best efforts, Incursion is still unable to find them. As 1 day passes by, all 3 families decide to spend time with their lost children. Despite warnings that they should be discreet in wherever they go, they all have some fun. Miss Victoria's family goes to the Hoboken Zoo, and even takes an easy trip to Central Park, New York. Eidolon Girl goes with her family to the beach and play in the water, and Eidolon Girl even plays tricks with some people with her invisibility. Forrest Frost, on the other hand, goes to a park with his family, and even gets some time to get along with his fully-grown or teenage siblings. He even admits his secret crush on Miss Victoria, which makes the siblings laugh, and his parents grateful, and they tell him to nut up someday. Unfortunately, Forrest is the first one to discover von Skull's ship and immediately alerts the other Victorians that they've arrived. All 5 Victorians are made aware of von Skull's arrival, and they all try and hide their loved ones as best as they can. Von Skull's radar is barely able to keep up with Forrest with the jamming device on his wrist-communicator, and he sends his henchmen to invade Chicago for them. Miss Victoria and Eidolon Girl retreat back to their homes as quickly as possible, and lock up everything. Communicating with Forrest, they discover that he needs their help, and judging by how von Skull doesn't know where they are, they come to his aid. All 3 meet up in a secluded location in Illinois in order to trick the Incursion forces that they're going to their loved ones' homes, only to go into a secluded location and battle them together. Unfortunately, their battle gets the attention of their old military circuit. They discover that they're not normal anymore, and they force the Incursion forces to retreat, and they force the Victorians to come with them back to their circuit and reveal how they got their powers. Once they do, news goes out through all of Kra-38, and the military is nice enough to keep promises on keeping their families safe, and a few others. Von Skull, now with no reason to keep his cover, flies over the only city he knows from the Victorians, Springfield, and threatens to destroy it unless the Victorians surrender and reveal their loved ones. So, the 3 expose themselves to the public, reveal the origins of their powers and their risks to the public, and get on von Skull's ship. However, before they leave, they were able to ask the military to guard their families' homes from danger until they come back. While the military is busy defending their weaknesses, the Victorians are capable of strategically escaping captivity and they confront von Skull head on. Von Skull finally reveals his superpowers which put up a great advantage to the Victorians, and they find out that the military is failing at protecting their loved ones. Their locations are almost revealed if it weren't for Miss Victoria using her laser vision to destroy part of the ship, causing it to fall towards the ground. While von Skull and a remainder of his henchmen retreat back to Kratos in a small emergency ship, the Victorians are able to stop the ship from crashing and causing an explosion, and they dispose of it in the Sun. After they save the city and their families' locations, they contact the other Victorians, who have also managed to stop Incursion from discovering their families' locations, and they each blast off back to Kratos, saying goodbye to a thankful city and maybe even world, as well as their families.

On Kra-20, Thermite activates the cloaking device as part of the audiobook that Miss Victoria left for him. He lands safely in the Sahara Desert of Africa, just a few miles where his hometown is. The audiobook explains the guidelines of being both undercover and safe at the same time. He is told that he has his wrist-communicator with a GPS, an emergency holographic disguise, a jamming device, and an alarm system, but he can only communicate with his comrades through text messaging. He is also given a pack of regular clothes and because he can fly, he doesn't need a jet pack. He's even given a safe route to his home where he can both stay away from the military and from people who might turn him in, and even take breaks. Plus, he must keep an eye out for von Skull. After preparing for his mission, he goes out. He activates his hologram disguise, and he flies through the Sahara all the way to Oran, Algeria, where he meets up with his parents and siblings, secretly shows them his superpowers, and spends the night with them, telling them his adventures and warning them what risks they're bringing to their team. Regardless, Miss Victoria says that he's only allowed to stay for 3 days, and that he must stay away from the military due to the reputation he made on himself that made him a criminal, so he must keep his holographic disguise on to stay out of plain sight. They go out and take trips to several attractions and museums. He does seem to have a good time until his wrist-communicator alarm system goes off when Forrest discovers von Skull's ship back on Kra-38, scaring his family, and he realizes that his family is in trouble. He quickly sends his family home, and tells them to hide until he returns. He flies out, hiding from plain sight, and searches for the spacecraft that could possibly be looking for him. The spacecraft is also having trouble finding him with his jamming device. So GA-1 decides to step up his game, and visit every city in the area. Figuring the best way to protect his family's location, he travels into the Sahara Desert, and deactivates his jamming device to get into a confrontation with the spaceship's crew and whoever might be leading it. During the battle, GA-1 decides to lead the ship and Thermite to his old military circuit, which seems to fool him into getting arrested. Once in custody, the police discover that he's much different, and Thermite is forced to reveal his superpowers. He is able to warn them of what might happen if they lock him up, and after agreeing to let him go, they bring it to the news. However, the news reveals Thermite's hometown to Incursion, and they immeditately set their course to Oran, where they begin spreading henchmen all over and search for Thermite's family. While in a battle with GA-1, Thermite discovers that he is an android, and therefore, has the strength to strangle him if he gets the chance. He even has similar powers of von Skull, and it orders an nonconventional assault on Oran. They launch a nuclear bomb on the city, and Thermite realizes he can't hold that and the minions off on his own. So he gets his military circuit to hold off the minions for as long as they can, but GA-1 won't let it happen. He uses rocket boots to pursue him, and they each fight on the surface of the nuclear bomb. Their battles go for a few minutes until GA-1 accidentally touches the tip of the bomb, causing it to explode. GA-1 is destroyed, and the blast knocks the spaceship off-balance, and causes it to crash into the Mediterranean. Thermite, on the other hand, is weakened by the blast, and almost dies if it wasn't for the military healing his wounds and saving him. His old commanding officer commends him for his accomplishment, and reconsiders arresting him. Thermite salutes him, and he restarts his ship after Miss Victoria texts that they leave. He says goodbye to his family and all the people he saved, and blasts off for Kratos.

On Kra-05, Shadow Wing is given the same guidelines as the others. He has his own clothes, wrist-communicator, no jet pack, travel route, and warning to look out for von Skull. He has landed his ship on the outskirts of Budapest, Hungary, where he flew his way across the city and finally found his home. There, he showed his superpowers to his family in secret, and decided that before he spend time with them, he should see his brother. Sure enough, they showed him where he lived, and as expected, his brother was relieved to finally see him again. He manages to get him out of the public in order for him to freely show him his superpowers, and he reveals to him and his family what he and his teammates are doing. After spending time swimming and having a great time, they are interrupted at home when Shadow Wing's wrist-communicator's alarm system goes off when Forrest spots trouble back on Kra-38, alerting him that von Skull is onto them. He tells his family to hide and be safe while he goes out into an open area to ensure that they don't find him with his family. However, once he reaches an open area, he is immediately spotted on GA-2's spaceship's cameras. They launch an immediate attack on him, but he teleports into the spaceship, and finds out that the person leading the ship is an android of von Skull. As the two start to fight, GA-2 begins to have the upper-hand. With his wing broken, Shadow Wing retreats back to Budapest and realizes he can't defeat them on his own. He has no choice but to see his old Interpol circuit again, and though they welcome him, he reveals that there's an imminent invasion coming, and shows them his superpowers to make sure they believe him. Unfortunately, during the fight on the spaceship, GA-2 planted a bomb on his ankle ready to blow up the building. Shadow Wing is able to get rid of it before it explodes, but the explosion gives away his hometown's location, the spaceship goes to Budapest, and begins a mass invasion. They release an energy field around the city to prevent Shadow Wing from teleporting away, and that makes it difficult for him to keep his family safe. Despite Shadow Wing and the military and Interpol's best efforts, the henchmen finally discover the location of his family, and they capture them. Shadow Wing is able to reach them, but GA-2 holds them hostage, keeping him at bay. Now knowing where his family is, Shadow Wing knew he had to destroy not just the android, but the entire ship. Luckily, his brother, who was at his house, gets a gun and shoots down the minions holding the hostages, and even temporarily malfunctions GA-2 with a single shot. Interpol escorts the family into a truck and they drive away somewhere safe. When GA-2 gets functional again, he and Shadow Wing fight while the minions chase down the truck. During the battle, GA-2 is winning, especially with Shadow Wing having a broken wing, unable to fly. GA-2, however, can fly with his rocket boots, and tries to make him fall to his death. Luckily, his brother comes and saves him, and he is barely able to keep GA-2 at bay while Shadow Wing goes to the ship and try to take it down. He manages to get the ship to self-destruct and crash into the Danube, and goes to help his brother against GA-2, only to find that GA-2 has broken his legs, and is about to kill him. But Shadow Wing is able to fight off GA-2, and push him into a trash compactor where he is crushed to pieces. When Shadow Wing's brother is brought to the hospital, he is now handicapped, but still able to keep his job as a cop. With everyone saying goodbye to Shadow Wing after Miss Victoria texts him to leave, he blasts off back to Kratos.

Back on Kratos, the team explains how each mission went. They were glad that there were no casualties, and they move on back to being superheroes at the place where they feel they belong. But unknown to them is that on their homeworlds, there were some survivors. 1 week later, GA-1 and GA-2 are revealed to still be functional, but they are now totally useless and remember nothing. Von Skull, out of rage, makes their remaining heads self-destruct. But while his mission had failed, he was able to gain some cryptic downloaded clues from his minions on where their loved ones' locations might be, and it won't take him too long to figure them out.

Issue #7: Victorious End? Part 1
1 month after the last story, the Victorians are both happy and devastated. Miss Victoria is the only one who seems to have no problem whatsoever, but judging by how her team has been feeling since their trip, she's not surprised that much. Thermite is glad that he's no longer an outlaw on his homeworld, but after blowing a few things up on his last mission, he misses that rushing feeling where he blows up terrorist hideouts and evil fortresses. Eidolon Girl, after experiencing what her old life used to be like, feels rather homesick, but tries to nut up and focus on what she's enjoyed since she first arrived on Kratos. Forrest, after his parents gave him advice on how to openly admit his feelings for Miss Victoria, is failing embarrassingly and he just goes to the point of being too shy in front of her. Shadow Wing is also seeming to blame himself for his brother getting crippled, even having a nightmare about him being dubbed guilty for it in court, and being sent to jail. Miss Victoria is worried that these weaknesses might get the best of them, so she decides to boost their hopes by getting some takeout. Fortunately, the restaurant is being robbed of money by crooks, and fighting them in the middle of an order seems to not only cheer them up, but get a laugh out of them.

More coming soon...
