A/N: Well, yeah. Here's the last chapter. I'm kinda sad to be finished with this, but I'm already planning a sequel. I have some ideas, but I haven't made them into a whole plot yet. I might also wait and see until Alan Ituriel makes anything new with Villainous.

Chapter 15: Eclipse End

"My parents? Well, Andre takes care of me, but…"

5.0.5 remembered all the way back to when he asked Miso after that ceremony.

"Uh… I don't really know."

Miso blushed a little seeming embarrassed. "Yeah, I don't really know who they are, or… if I had any. I asked Andre, but he seemed scared to tell me." He picked a yellow crayon and started drawing stars on his landscape drawing. "One time, I asked why I couldn't go outside, and he said that my mommy gave me to him because she was hurt really bad, so Andre decided to take care of me, and told me that villains are everywhere in the outside world and are really dangerous."

5.0.5 pointed at his drawing of Flug. Specifically, where it said "Dad."

"Oh. I don't know what happened to my dad, either. It's just been me and Andre for as long as I can remember." He looked back down at his drawing. "Well, I do remember seeing the moon as a baby. I think? Maybe that's why I like looking at the sky so much. Everything I think about just drifts away when I do," the child said with a warm smile.

5.0.5 cooed sadly, patting the Miso's back.

"Aw, it's okay," Miso said. He gazed out the window, staring at the night sky. "I don't need a mom and dad, 'cause I have Andre and a bunch of heroes to look after me. But, sometimes when I look out the window, I do wonder if someone is looking back at me. Only sometimes…" The child shook his head. "Well, anyway. Do you wanna play a boardgame?"

Black Hat had taken the VHS back from Flug, refusing to let anyone touch it. No one really knew what was going on. Well, Flug could only guess, but Dementia was still in the dark. Their boss went back inside the ship and locked them outside.

"Soooo… What were you talking about?" said Dementia.

"I…" Flug wasn't sure how word this, fearing he might get it this time for speaking like this. "I think… our boss…" He lowered his voice to a whisper. "Might have a kid…"

"¿Quéééééé?"

Flug and 5.0.5 stood there, as Dementia was dumbfounded. It looked like she was trying to put the pieces together.

"So Black Hat…"

"Yes…" Flug said.

"Who was it?!" Dementia lunged at Flug only to be grabbed by 5.0.5. She still kicked and squirmed in his grasp. "Who was with him?! ¡DÍGAME SU NOMBRE! ¡¿QUIEN ES?!"

While Flug was backing away from Dementia attempted assault on him, he took notice of his surroundings. A smell began to fill his nose that wasn't visible to his fellow villains. The white roses in the courtyard began to turn black, slightly reddened by the skies of the current blood moon above them.

Flug knew they weren't alone.

The VHS finished playing in the ship. Black Hat stood there at the screen as the the tape ejected from the player. He formed fists, the windows on the ship began to crack. Tried as he might to not make a sound, he slammed on the surface near him, forming small cracks on it.

"¡MENTIROSA!"

This was impossible. The cracks on the window only got worse, with each thought that passed through the villain's mind. The bracelet, the glowing eyes, the burst of power back at the airport…

No. He's supposed to be dead...

"Who are you trying to convince?"

Someone was then behind him. They didn't even make a sound, but he knew someone was there and who was there.

"What are you doing here?" he said.

"I suppose I could ask you the same thing," the Black Rose said.

"I thought you left our organization after our little… mishap." He turned to her, glaring at her with his only visible eye twitching. "Running back to me after daring to leave the Black Hat Organization… Bold. Though, I guess I could say the same about you being here, working for… heroes."

"I was not working for them." His tone did not phase her one bit. "I was here to do merely one thing: Watch."

"And you did that instead of-"

"You failed to protect her after she warned you countless times of the incoming threats!" the woman hissed. "We came to this planet together and we were all we had until we met you!"

"As if I give a damn of how you felt about her!" Black Hat yelled. "Give me one good reason why shouldn't end your life where you stand?!"

"You wouldn't hesitate, Señor Black Hat," the villain's response was clear. Yet, no fear was in it. "I know for a fact that you'd kill any subordinate without holding back and show no remorse. The only reason I'm still alive right now, is that you know that I wouldn't die screaming and begging for mercy."

Black Hat looked out the window. The ships were flying, smoke was coming up from burning buildings, heroes and villains could be seen fighting in the skies. The skies were purely red from the eclipse.

"He's told me about his adventures on Hat Island," the Black Rose continued. "Here, he was kept 'prisoner' in a tower here, living what most people called a sheltered life. I guess it would sound familiar." She paused for a moment. "Does it not?"

"You have ten seconds to leave," Black Hat said, sharply.

"You don't have to act on this knowledge. I am merely here to share the truth and I have. Do with it what you will. But, clearly, this isn't about your hat anymore, is it?"

When the woman got no response, she shrugged.

"Adíos, Señor Black Hat."

When Black Hat turned back to where Rose was, she was gone, leaving only a small trail of rose petals.

Still, Black Hat held the VHS tape in his hand. If he didn't care, why couldn't he bring himself to break it? Why didn't he just destroy everything instead of just hiding it in the attic?!

WHY THE HELL WAS THIS BOTHERING HIM SO MUCH?!

Truth or not, if word got out and the kid was left to his own devices, who knows what damage he'd do. He didn't care about the damage to the city, it was the damage to his reputation if the child reverted to being a hero, or worse...

Neither.

Flug finally managed to calm down Dementia, who had given up struggling to break because of 5.0.5's surprising strength, when Black Hat swung the door open and gazed up at the giant fortress still in front of them.

"FLUG!"

The doctor straightened out his coat and saluted. "Y-Yes, sir?"

"Where. Is. The boy?"

Miso was upstairs. He wandered into the halls and entered the office of the CEO. The lights were out, but he could still see. His eyes were still glowing, each eye a different color from both predecessors.

He had been here many times, when Andre was away sometimes. He would sit in here being babysat by the man who led the charge of his own captivity.

Miso walked up the controls, hailing a random ship and turning on a random mic.

"Who is this?" was the response.

"Um, hello?" Miso asked as innocently as possible.

"Uh, Miso is that you?"

"Y-Yeah," he said. "The CEO and Andre got caught up in a fight and told me to find a way off the island. D-Do you think…"

"Oh, geez! Are you okay?!" the pilot answered.

"Y-Yeah…"

"Okay, listen. Can you make it to the edge of town? It's clear enough for us land, so just meet up there, and we can get you out."

Miso nodded. "O-Oh, okay. Thank-you." Miso hung up and then glared down. "Idiot." They always bought if he acted helpless. He couldn't stand to be on this island anymore. Even though he wasn't sure of where he was going, he just wanted to get out of here. That was the first step.

The heroes were nothing but liars in his eyes at this point. No different from villains: Manipulating the game to get what they want. At least the villains were honest about it. Miso shook his head, thinking about that. He took out all those hero cards, that he had taken the time to collect and held them tightly until smoke came from them and they eventually ignited with flames, burning to ashes in his palms.

Ding!

Miso turned to the door, having heard the elevator go off in the hallway. He stood there, unmoving until the doors swung open, flying off and being thrown towards him. The child ducked under the desk, as they flew over and landed behind him.

Miso peeked up from his desk and saw Black Hat standing in the doorway. Of course. The doctor probably sold him out. The child jumped onto the table, eyes glowing, bracelet between red and yellow.

Just like her. Always a fighter.

Black Hat was impressed, if only a little. The kid figured out how to shoot fire at him. He dodged it, of course, and shot back, but the child started using his shield instead. Even with his new power, he still lacked in strength. He managed to run up to the child, who was blocking his fire blast. Then Miso got out of the way, and tried to swing his sword, only for Black Hat to grab it by the blade. He could almost laugh as he saw his shocked face and threw him against the wall.

Miso threw everything at Black Hat at the same time and dashed to the door. The villain only threw everything back at him. Miso used his shield but was thrown against the wall again and fell to the floor.

Just as Miso tried to get up, he found himself restrained by Black Hat. One arm was wrapped around his waist and the other was using his cane to hold him back from biting. Miso grabbed onto the cane, trying to break free, squirming and kicking.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"Let go of me!" Miso shouted. The boy tightened his grip, his hands heating up and starting to burn through the material.

Black Hat looked around, seeing the windows beginning to crack. He knew for a fact he wasn't doing that. The red light of the blood moon began shining through the cracks of the blue tinted windows.

"I just thought we could use this moment to talk," Black Hat said, smiling evilly.

"I said, LET GO!" Miso broke the cane with his hands and pushed Black Hat with enough force to throw him off and all the glass shattered. Furniture, desks, and glass was thrown everywhere, making Miso cover his face, as even the walls around them collapsed.

"BOSS!"

When the dust settled, Miso crawled a bit before setting his hands on a fallen cabinet to support himself. He pulled himself up from some rubble before slumping on it, with the cold wind blowing by. The black top hat had fallen nearby. The red moons rays started hitting him, and he felt warm, a strange strength returning to his veins.

He never felt more alive...

Flug had come in with 5.0.5 and Dementia who had caught up. Upon seeing Miso, the child threw the large cabinet at the lackeys, trapping them inside. The hat zoomed into his grasp on command, and he put it on and made a dash towards the door.

Black Hat emerged from the pile of rubble throwing the objects on him off in a fiery explosion. He blasted flames in the way of Miso path and the child ran back throwing whatever could at him with his telekinesis. Black Hat deflected them all with a newly formed cane, but looked up to see all the furniture floating around them. All of it descended on the villains. 5.0.5 lifted off the cabinet to see it all racing towards them, both of Miso's eyes changing to a red color.

Was it the eclipse fueling him to do it? Miso didn't know. Andre took a life and secured his captivity, so what was one or more secure his freedom?

Just then, Miso yelled, finding himself pinned down by 5.0.5. All the objects in the air fell down around them or off the buildings. Miso kicked and struggled, as the bear picked him up.

"What are you doing?!" Miso shrieked. "Were you always loyal to that doctor?!"

Black Hat saw Dementia and Flug get up. He smiled, seeing 5.0.5 come to his senses. Then the bear yelped, letting Miso wriggle free. Miso had burned his paws. Flug ran over immediately.

"5.0.5, are you alright?" 5.0.5 whimpered, holding his burnt paws close to him. "No, no, no. Don't cry." He glared at the boy, when Dementia jumped off the bear's back lunging at the child. Miso yelled and threw her back with a wave of his hand.

"WHOOOOOA!" the girl yelled as she crashed back into the cabinet. "I'm okay!"

Flug pulled out the weapon he snagged earlier, but Miso had it zoom towards his hand. Black Hat was stronger and made it go towards him instead. Once it was in his grasp he aimed it at the child. Miso ducked and swung his left hand, the bracelet turning into a sword and he swung a beam that hit his hand.

The weapon fell on the floor broken in half with sparks flying from it. Black Hat held his injured hand close, growling and glaring at his assailant. It would heal quickly, but it still hurt, damn it!

Dementia quickly rose to her feet, and Flug stepped in front of 5.0.5, reaching into his pocket. Clearly, he had more than one gadget on hand, didn't he? Black Hat checked his hand after it quickly healed and walked between the two lackeys. Miso hopped onto the glassless, frameless windowsill, looking down briefly seeing nothing to grab onto below with his bracelet power. Without the Anti-Gravity Device, he couldn't avoid a painful landing.

"Well, this was fun, wasn't it, child?" said Black Hat. "But I'm afraid we'll have to cut this play session short. Just step down from there, and make it easier on all of us. After all, you know what I'm here for."

Miso giggled, and started to laugh. "S-So, you came all this way for this?" the child taunted, taking off the hat and twirling it around his finger. He thought he would laugh again when he heard Black Hat growl at him.

"No," he said, sharply. "You're finished. Look around you. You're surrounded. You could toss them around all you want, but you'll always have me to deal with. And I'm willing to bet once this eclipse ends, you're little power trip will wear off and we'll be back to when I saw you at the airport."

Miso saw the villains before them. It kind of reminded him of when the heroes would get together. Experiments, and evil scientist and a spawn of darkness were pointing their swords at their enemy as one. Villains, of all kinds, working together towards the same goal. The child never thought villains were capable of such a feat.

"I just want to leave!"

"This is not a negotiation," said Black Hat. "This ends now."

Miso's bracelet turned red, and this time it wasn't flickering.

"NEVER!" he shouted. The moon was shining like a red glittering pearl behind the child. After placing the hat back on his head, a ball of light the same shade of red appeared in his hand and he threw it to the ground. At once, if felt like reality shattered around them.

Miso was gone, nowhere to be seen and all they saw was darkness. The ground, whatever they were standing on, because it felt like nothing was shaking like it wasn't stable.

"What the heck?!" Dementia yelled.

5.0.5 yelped and clung to Flug.

"Get out here, child!" Black Hat demanded. "It's over!"

"I'm sick of people telling me what, when, and where!" the villains then heard. "IT'S NOT OVER! NOT UNTIL I SAY IT IS!"

The gang of villains found themselves in kind space like realm. Stars were swirling all around them. Miso was there, alone. Four to one. Even so, the child wasn't going down without a fight. The power of the blood moon gave him a faint glow, his eyes were glowing red, crazed with rage and anger.

Flug, Dementia, and 5.0.5 looked to their boss.

"What do we do, sir?" said Flug.

"What do you think, you fool?!" said Black Hat. "Do your jobs! Let's teach this brat some damn respect!" He pointed towards Miso. "Get him!"'

Dementia didn't even need an order. She leapt off 5.0.5 and lunged at the child, but he disappeared before she could even lay a finger on him. Something told Flug that he figured out how to teleport because he zooming all over the place. Black Hat tried to follow him, and Dementia just kept running towards where she saw Miso. 5.0.5 was confused, and got a bit dizzy after a while, and Flug just kept trying to shoot him with some weapons he took from the ship.

Soon Miso warped to the middle of the place, rose into the air, stood on a platform his bracelet made and started throwing down balls of light from his left hand, each one exploding after. He smiled, watching the villains scatter around. Rubble kept rising up from each explosion.

"¡Oso, tengo idea!" She ran over and wrapped her long hair around him like a lasso. Then she spun him around and launched him the elevated child, who was so busy throwing down explosions, he didn't notice until it was what almost too late.

Miso yelled, his fist flew forward glowing orange and punch 5.0.5 so hard it knocked him across the ring. He bumped back into Dementia and they fell to the ground, motionless.

Just as Miso turned he noticed Flug shooting his gun and Black Hat shooting laser beams at him. Miso covered his face a forcefield forming around him. It was impenetrable. Miso landed on the ground, still protected, the outburst of power made the realm rumble, nearly knocking Flug and Black Hat off their balance.

Flug reached into his pocket, and pulled out one of those portable bombs. "Jefecito! Catch!"

Black Hat smiled as he caught it. Getting past flames and explosions, he threw the bomb, after adding his own power to it, at Miso and the explosion shattered his forcefield. The magical shards cut him slightly.

Dementia stood, seeing what they were doing. With each new forcefield, Black Hat would destroy it. Miso managed to teleport before he could attack though.

"Hey, nerd!" Dementia yelled. "Throw me one!"

Normally, Flug wouldn't mostly because she was the one who basically caused all of this in the first place, but that wasn't important right now. He tossed her one, and tried to stay out of the warzone, staying near 5.0.5.

Dementia was only excited by the flames. With each warp, Miso would try to throw a different attack. Forcefleld around him he would jump, trying to cause damage with the shockwaves he left. Then he'd shoot beams fire. He could toss Dementia around, but Black Hat was still resistant to his telekinesis.

Then two bombs were flying at him. Miso screamed when they went off, the shards of it and the shards of his forcefield scratching him.

"ENOUGH!" he shouted. At once shadows covered the realm, and the villains found themselves being restrained by dark limbs and grabbing them. Black Hat, being stronger, managed to break free, but his lackeys couldn't. Miso was already holding out his left hand, ready to fire and end them.

"STOP THIS!" Black Hat ordered, through the other villains screaming.

"NO!" Miso yelled. His head turned to look at him, eyes glowing with fury. "I'M IN CONTROL! DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"

Black Hat glared, but lowered his cane, holding it normally. If he moved, he'd fire.

"Control? Is that what you want?"

"I've spent my whole life being told what to do!" said Miso. "Sure, I've managed to sneak off sometimes, but I was just like their little doll. They-"

"Treated you like a prisoner," Black Hat continued.

Miso gasped, shocked that he knew what he was going to say.

"They told what to do, how to dress, how to act. Told you stories of a glorified world that CEO would create. But, now you stand here, freed and disillusioned from the stories. Now you feel lost and all alone?"

"Wh-What?" Miso looked to him, the anger leaving from his eyes and were starting to water. "But, how did you kn-"

"And you act as if you're the first person who fell victim to White's little lies."

"Wh… What?"

"And all your sentimental feelings are getting in the way of feeling and thinking straight."

Miso was silent. He didn't hear intimidation or anger from him. It was surprising. Even Flug, Dementia, and 5.0.5 had stopped yelling and were staring, as well.

"This is how you feel, isn't it?"

Miso stood there, silently. His words weren't playful, or condescending. It sounded like he was genuinely asking him a question.

"Well?"

Miso gulped, and nodded. Black Hat gently grabbed the tip of his remaining bowler hat, shading his eyes.

"It's a shame. If you want control, you'd let go of those feelings. Maybe then, you could've won!"

Miso gasped, seeing the realm starting fall apart and himself feeling tired. He suddenly found himself unable to move.

"But, perhaps it is my fault," Black Hat continued. He revealed one of his hands glowing, holding the child still. "Perhaps it was own sentiments that brought me up here, and put my lackeys in harm's way. Something that I thought I was rid of long ago!"

Miso shook. He shut his eyes and every piece of rubble began to rise and went towards the villain. Black Hat grabbed his cane and threw it straight at the kid. It hit his forehead, knocking him back.

There was a bright light and when it faded Black Hat found himself and his subordinates back in the ruins of the CEO's quarters. Miso was on the other side of the room, lying on his side, barely conscious and grasping his own head gently. The red light had left his eyes the glow he had gotten from the eclipse had faded. The top hat had fallen a few feet away from him.

Dementia groaned and sat up slowly. "Whoa, are we alive?" Flug and 5.0.5 woke up, as well, just in time to see Black Hat pick up his fallen top hat and finally place it back on his own head, wear it belonged. Dementia giggled, staring excitedly.

The skies were blue again and the moon, that had returned to its normal form was setting down, and the sky was turning pink. Sunrise was coming.

Miso's head was swimming. It was also throbbing. He was covered in cuts in bruises. He felt so tired and he heard footsteps approaching. Tears left his eyes, and he shivered fearing it was the end. Then they stopped, and Miso dared to crack one of his eyes open, just a little.

Black Hat knelt down and held out his hand. He was almost shocked to see Miso open his eyes further. Without the use of his powers, or them being in a fight, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

That kid was almost her spitting image!

"You're coming with me," he said, simply.

Miso, with barely any strength left, sniffled. He reached out his left hand, the bracelet still glowing, hesitating for only a moment before taking his hand. The child's eyes shut and his grip went limp. Black Hat rolled his eyes, sighing before bringing himself, to gather the child in his arms. Then he stood, remembering that his subordinates were behind him.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STARING AT?!" he then yelled, making them flinch. "Flug! Prepare the ship! We're going home."

Two days later…

Things on Hat Island had began to settle down in their absence. Now they were home, they could finally get back to selling weapons and services to villains in exchange for money, souls, or their eternal servitude to the Black Hat Organization.

Although, Black Hat wished things were back to normal. Something was telling him that it wouldn't be so again. He had been sitting in his office for about two days since they got back, taking only important calls and shooing away Dementia if she came in for any other reason than for business.

Eventually, he had enough and left, making his way down to the lab. With Dementia off doing who knows what, it was quiet. Flug was writing things down on some notes and 5.0.5 was just watching him. His paws were bandaged from Miso burning them.

Miso was lying unconscious on an examination table, which had basically become a temporary bed. Flug had tended to his injuries, the bandages could be seen underneath the tears in Miso's clothes. 5.0.5 had covered him with a blanket.

Flug sensed Black Hat coming and quickly straightened everything out before standing.

"Oh! M-Morning, sir. Is there something you need?"

"Update, Flug," Black Hat said, flatly. "What of the child?"

"Well," Flug said glancing over, "5.0.5 was right. You can't take off his bracelet. I've tried everything. He also told he caught a cold when they got back to that city. All the stress of that night must've brought his fever back, but it's going down. It may be a while before he wakes up."

Black Hat looked over at Miso for a second. He was in a deep sleep, clearly still exhausted. Then he started walking away.

"Make sure he doesn't die, doctor."

"Of course, sir." Flug gave him as salute as he walked out. He checked around his desk. "Dang it! Did Dementia snatch my clipboard again?" He sighed, adjusting his goggles. "I'm gonna find her. 5.0.5, do you mind watching him?"

5.0.5 smiled and saluted.

"Okay, I'll be back." Flug gave him a small pat on the head before dashing out.

Just as 5.0.5 turned to Miso, he gasped to see the Black Rose nearby, standing near Miso's bedside. She held a finger over her lips, shushing the bear from yelling. She walked over and felt Miso's forehead and then left a black rose near his pillow. Then she looked to 5.0.5.

5.0.5 gave her a soft smile and nodded. She nodded back. With a slice of her sword, a portal appeared and she was gone.

"Found it!" Flug said, returning with the clipboard. "I just left it in my room. Or, maybe Dementia took it there to mess with me." He flipped through the pages, before catching that familiar smell: The smell of roses. He walked over near Miso's bedside and found black rose petals. "Uh, 5.0.5, was…" He looked around briefly, before continuing, "you know who here?"

5.0.5 nodded. Flug sighed, picking the rose up from near the pillow.

"Wherever you are, thank-you," he said. "C'mon, let's get back to work."

The CEO had all but disappeared. He left them a message, saying that he'd be back in a few days. Andre wasn't sure where he went off to. The base had been wrecked, especially since all the villains escaped from the prison. They weren't sure who exactly let them out, but the guards found black rose petals in every cell.

Heroes who weren't injured or exhausted were out patrolling or rounding up any villains they managed to apprehend. Citizens had been forced to take refuge in temporary shelters.

Andre's wounds healed up nicely, but what still hurt the most was his pride. He forgot how many times he refilled his flask in the past few days. He had been forced to stay in a temporary base that was like a village of tents in the park. Andre had a private tent, but felt like he didn't deserve it. Miso had outright stated what he had done in front of everyone, and he felt afraid to go outside.

But he had been sitting there in his own space, letting the place smell of booze for so long, even he was getting sick of it. He then heard the curtains part, but didn't look to see who it was. His head hurt, he didn't even want to sit up, but he did.

"Valencia-"

"Clem, I don't want to hear it!"

"...It's been two days. Shouldn't you… you know?"

"Maria's been unconscious."

"But she woke up last night." There was a pause. "You don't have to if you don't want to."

Andre heard her leave. He lifted his mask to his mouth, hoping to rid himself of this hangover.

"You know, you can talk to me about stuff. I'm not a little kid anymore."

Andre lowered his flask. He grabbed some shades to protect his eyes from the bright sun and stepped outside.

The agent walked through the camp, catching dirty looks from some heroes. Miso had shouted the truth in front of all those heroes. He could remember what he was called in the night when they thought he couldn't hear.

"Rule breaker!"

"Killer!"

"Murderer!"

"Fraud!"

Up ahead was a medical tent. It was bigger than the other ones, which was necessary. There were civilians and heroes lying around on cots, and even on the floor on sheets, being tended to by the medics. Andre took off his shades and made his way to the to the private spaces, spaced off by partitions. He moved the sliding door. It was dark in there. The small flap for a window was still up and there were bouquets of flowers on the table. Maria was looking out the window's screen, silently.

"Maria…?"

He tried not to shudder, or grasp his own metallic arm as he saw the sight of her. A lot of her body was covered in bandages, while she was wearing a hospital gown. Her entire right arm was gone, and judging from the shape on the bed, her right leg didn't survive, either.

When Andre got no response, he turned to the door.

"Andre…"

The agent turned back, seeing his oldest friend tearing up and ran over to hug her. Almost immediately she broke down crying, holding as tightly as she could with only remaining arm and cried louder when she attempted to hold him with the arm that was no longer there.

"It hurts, Andre…"

That made the agent only hug her tighter.

"I know… It might be like that for a while. Are you okay?"

"N-No…"

It took a few minutes, but she finally appeared to calm down. The nurse came in after a while and gave her an IV.

"Here," Andre said, laying her against some fresh pillows. "Are you feeling better?"

Maria didn't answer that question.

"Um… Do you know what happened to Miso?"

"No," she answered. Her voice sounded hoarse. "No one really knows what happened to him. After he… left, the only thing people could focus on was trying to stop the villains from destroying the city. Clem told me of a message between Miso and a pilot of the kid trying to get access to a ship to get off the island. I don't know if he made it, but no one can find him."

Andre opened his mouth to speak, but she continued.

"He's gone."

Andre fell silent, still holding her only hand.

"We never should've let that kid into our lives."

"Maria-"

Maria pulled her hand away from his grasp.

"Just leave me alone."

Andre stood up slowly. When she didn't look back at him, he left her alone, like she wanted.

Andre made his way back to the base. The heroes and agents were still busy securing it, before letting anyone move back in, but he wandered in and explored the ruins.

The halls were quiet, the windows were either cracked or shattered. All the roses had turned black, and Rosa hadn't been seen since the attack. The reception room looked like as if everything had been tossed around.

Andre made his way to Miso's tower, finding it empty, and surprisingly untouched. Without Miso, the place just felt empty. He sat down in the old reading chair by the fireplace, alone.

"Why can't I go outside?"

"The world is filled with dangerous, heartless villains. You must stay here where you're safe. Do you understand, Star Child?"

Miso, where did you go? he thought.

It felt like just yesterday, Miso was begging to go with to the hero's ceremony.

"Por favor! I really wanna see it!"

"Eh, those things are glamorous, but they're also kind of boring, especially for children, kid."

"But, if I'm going to be a hero, I need to see some heroes. And not just the ones who live here."

"Tell you what, get a hundred percent on your next quiz and I'll talk to the CEO."

"Yay!" he remembered Miso jumping up to hug him.

Andre snapped out of his daydream just in time to see himself, holding the open flask near himself. Miso always wanted to see the world. The agent set his flask down and stood.

"I'm coming, Miso."

To be continued...

"¿Quéééééé?" (Whaaaaaat?)

"¡DÍGAME SU NOMBRE! ¡¿QUIEN ES?!" (TELL ME THEIR NAME! WHO IS IT?!)

"¡MENTIROSA!" (LIAR!)

"Señor…" (Mister…)

"Adíos, Señor Black Hat." (Goodbye, Mister Black Hat.)

"¡Oso, tengo idea!" (Bear, I have an idea!)

"Jefecito!" (Boss!)

"¡Por favor!" (Please!)

A/N: So, uh… yeah. I am gonna make a sequel, just not now. Also I heard, but correct if I'm wrong, that Villainous has been greenlit and is in production of a few episodes of season 1. WOOOO!
