Agent F7: "Who the hell are you?"
Silence.
Death swings his mighty sickle. The shiny blade slices through the air just inches from F7's face.
Agent F7: "Oh, dear."
Kid Bucket lunges at Death. He grabs a hold of the spectre's robe and pulls him to the floor. Death brings the blunt end of the sickle down on Kid Bucket's head with a crunch.
Death regains his feet and points a bony finger at Agent F7. "YOU ARE THE NEXT ON MY LIST."
Prometheus X begins to extend his astral self toward Death. "NO." With that simple utterance, he engulfs the spectre in his aura. The two vanish.
War begins firing on the remaining MBLers. Zed throws up a force field to protect his friends. The powerless Smasher makes a run for the hall and disappears.
As War beats relentlessly on Zed's shield, a flash of light appears behind him. As the light fades, two figures appear: Caped Cadet and Evil Cadet.
War turns and opens fire on the uninvited guests. Caped Cadet raises a hand and warps the reality around them, sending the bullets crashing into the surrounding walls.
"Bah! Your powers are no match for War."
"Right, like we haven't heard lines like that before." Zed fires a plasmatic energy burst into War's back. At the same time, Smasher appears in the door with a bazooka he confiscated from the base's armory. The shell flies true, connecting with War's face.
War turns to look at Smasher and smiles. He raises a hand, and a ball of flame engulfs Smasher, who begins rolling to put out the fire. "You cannot defeat War with his own tools."
Caped Cadet: "Zed! We need your help for this."
The Cadets reach out and begin warping the reality around War. Zed puts all his concentration into containing him. The energy bubble barely holds against War's struggling. Just before it falls apart, War vanishes.
Zed: "I know I didn't do that."
A slightly toasted Smasher: "Maybe it was Pro X."
Evil Cadet: "No, it was my twin here."
The others rush over to see Caped Cadet lying on the floor.
Evil Cadet: "He put his all into banishing that creature. He pushed our reality-bending powers to their limits. I tried to help, but... I just couldn't."
Agent F7 bends down to check Cadet. "Oh, God. He doesn't have a pulse! Come on, Carrot, you can't go out like this." Agent F7 frantically begins performing CPR on Caped Cadet.
"Cough! ... Hey, Agent F7, I never... knew you cared so much," mutters Cadet.
"Good, you're still alive. I thought we had lost you, there. By the way, who were those two freaks? Halloween has passed already," says Agent F7.
"They called themselves Death... and War," explains Zed.
"Hey, it sounds like some of those dumb characters from a comic or something," says Smasher.
"The Four Horsemen... are here...? Oh shit!" says Evil Carrot.
"What...?" asks Zed.
"I think I know who's behind this! I met the psycho while I was in the IBG. He goes by the name the Warlord. He thinks the world will be destroyed come year 2000, and he plans to make his thoughts a reality," says Evil Carrot.
"Then let's find the freak! Agent F7, call Rhyme Guardian," says Zed.
"I'm not sure that would be the smartest thing to do. I think we should let him rest. He has been through a lot of hell lately and deserves some downtime!" says Cadet.
"Okay, then follow my lead. Warlord, here we come!"
