In a quaint little house in Nevada....or what’s left it of, a small bedroom lays still. Well, it was still till suddenly an alarm clock starts going off. “BEEP BEEP BEEP!” The alarm clock chirps over and over. The covers stir and a hand reaches out and unplugs the clock, letting the cord drop to the ground with a faint thud. A grunt rises up from the covers, but it isn’t any normal grunt, it’s Deimos! Deimos is the youngest member of the magical murder gang, a group of magical grunts who use blood shred and madness to save the day. Deimos yawns asking to himself “urmg....what time is...it?” While rubbing his “eyes”. He picks up the clock, plugging it back in. The clock read “11:37 am” in its bright red digits. “Wow that’s a new record” Deimos says with a weak happy voice “didn’t think I would sleep that late, even if I went to bed at 10 pm last night”. Deimos gets up and out of bed, changing out of his sleep clothes and into a tee shirt and pants. he then goes into the bathroom to change his bandages on his head “this thing is never gonna heal” he muttered to himself as he wrapped the white roll of bandages around his head wound. after finishing his Little “wake up Routine” he heads downstairs meeting up with fellow member and boyfriend Sanford and fellow member and leader Hank. “Well well well, sleeping beauty has woken up from her slumber” Hank joked as he sat down at the dining room table. “The jokes are beginning to get stale Hank, no Offense” Sanford said as he cooked up some bacon in a pan. Deimos continued his descent down the stairs, after he had been standing still, processing hanks lame Disney joke “yeah, Fords right, you used that joke a million times” he said as he walks down the final step and across the kitchen to the table. Sanford finishes the bacon and walks over to the table, putting some bacon on the 2 plates and sitting down next to Deimos. “So bud, how was the deep sleep?” Sanford asks with a smile. Deimos shrugs “good I guess, no nightmares or weird fever dreams” he then takes a bite of his bacon. Hank looks at him and says “why would you have a weird fever dream? It seems off to just like randomly have one don’t you think. Sanford changes the topic asking “is christoff still camping at you place Hank? Haven’t seen his car at his house for like a week” Hank sighs “yup he is, some stuff is getting fixed at his home currently, think a pipe broke and flooded his house”. Deimos finish’s his bacon pretty quickly while Sanford and Hank talk about plumbing and the layout of christoffs house. Deimos puts his plate in the sink and goes to the sofa, turning on the tv to watch the nexus news about the weather. Nexus city was the closest and the Only city near the home, so he kinda just watches their news channel due to being in the relative area. “Another heatwave ugh we just had one last week” Deimos groans, he didn’t like super hot temperatures, despite being the one with firepoweres. Suddenly the tv glitches out getting replaced by the AAHW logo..

Deimos goes from relax to alert within seconds. “HANK! SANFORD! Something wrong with the tv!” Deimos shouts, getting the attention of the 2. Sanford rushes over to see what’s wrong, only to be greeted with the logo. Sanford goes silent when hanks walks into the room. “Wait what the fuck!? Does your tv just randomly do that?!” Hank said in surprise. Sanford shook his head “no..no this is something else” the logo fades off as a camera is jolted around till it focuses in on a person....auditor, the leader of the AAHW. Auditor had been a thorn in the magical murder gang’s side for a while. He’s the one that is usually responsible for all the messes they have to clean up. “Ah it’s finally working.” Auditor says through the camera, Deimos balling his hands into fists in response to hearing the employers voice. “Well it’s nice you see all of you rats again ain’t it?” Auditor says a mocking tone. Sanford gives him a death glare “the hell do you want with us auditor and how the hell did you get access to our tv.” He asks, a hint of anger in his voice. “Watch your tone Ford, you should treat people with respect ya know?” The auditor snarls back in response. Deimos snaps back “dickwades like you don’t even deserve respect” unlike Sanford, you could easily hear the rage in his voice. Auditor laughs, banging his fits on the desk “what’s wrong Demi? You upset that I told your boyfriend that he should mind his manners.” Deimos growls in response, wanting the punch the tv. “Enough chit chat, I’ll get down the the point” auditor tone changes quickly to a Serious one “to answer your question I wish to simply give you all a nice message.” “Well what is it fuckface?” Hank asks, tapping his foot. “Well in 3 hours I’m gonna make a nice little...Addition to the local water supply plant, a special give to bring a little...madness into the nexus folks lives.” The auditor laughs “and I’m just gonna say this right now, coming to stop me will do you no good, I’ve given the agents bit of an upgrade, so it would only be a slaughter show for you if you try and stop me.” Hank chuckles “upgrade, what did you improve, their sex life? If so they really needed it, since you have to clone them to keep your numbers up.” The gang laughs at the joke, much to auditor rage. “I don’t need your petty insults Hank, all I’m here to tell you is that I’ve made sure I can win this round” auditor snaps back. And with that the transmission ends, living an mad Deimos, an annoyed Hank and a sighing Sanford.

auditor gets off his desk after ending the transmission “dam roaches with their petty insults, they are really getting on my nerves now” he growls to himself. He walks through he base before entering a room. A bunch of armored agents, engineers and soldats wait for him, there were about 20 of them. “ALPHA WOLF SQUAD REPORTING FOR DUTY SIR!” They all shout in unity. Auditor gives a slight clap “very nice all of you. As you know in 15 minutes you will be shipped to the water plant to deposit the chemical I’ve given to all soldat units into the water supply. Beware of the subjects Deimos, Hank and Sanford. You have orders to kill on sight. The subjects are highly dangerous, which is why you have been given armor to counter their magic. Be warned, as the armor is still faulty and is heat sensitive. Now do I make myself clear?” “YES AUDITOR SIR” they shout once again. Auditor nods “go join omega squad C In the transport trucks, you will be leaving shortly” the squad piles out, entering the loading bay and boarding the trucks.

The gang head back to the table to talk about what to do. Sanford sighs “he’s back at it again...this time aiming for the water supply” he says with a sad and annoyed look on his face. Hank ponders “how long would it take us to get there exactly?” Turning to Sanford, expecting an answer. Deimos pipes up “nearly 2 hours Hank, but AAHW is closer, they have a time advantage” Hank sighs and Sanford looks worried. “We don’t have time to think about this, we have to prepare to get there NOW” Sanford says. “I’ll grab the mirror!” Deimos says as he rushes upstairs and into his bedroom, digging through some dressers before he gets it. He rushes downstairs the the group, putting the mirror on the table. The gang all look at each other before pulling out a key each. Deimos goes first, plugging his key in and transforming. He gains a gold and white outfit, his headphones gain a wing each as he feels his fire abilities burn within him. Hank goes next, transforming into a white and blue outfit with a set of navy blue goggles. Finally comes Sanford he gains a green outfit with white gloves. The gang strike a pose before they grab the keys to sanford jeep. Deimos hops in the shotgun seat, preparing the gps. Sanford hops into the drivers, turning on the engine as hank hops in the back. “Lets go kick some agency ass!” deimos says with a devilish smile. Hank chuckles “more like lets go save the city.” sanford nods as he hits the gas, the jeep speeding off towards the plant

As they drive, they pass a sign “Nexus city water plant, 2 miles”. They had been driving in silence for the past 2 hours. Deimos wants to make a joke about the broken down sign but keeps it to himself as they pull into the parking lot. The gang gets out, noticing the 2 large AAHW trucks. Sanford looks at them “I’d say there are about 40 of them here, we gotta move fast” he says with an urgent tone. Deimos had already begun sneaking towards the front entrance, guarded by 2 engies. Hank tried to get Deimos attention but realizes it’s no use “he’s gonna get himself shot, he really is” Hank says while shaking his head. Sanford turns to see what Hank is talking about, only to witness Deimos burn the engies to a crisp. “Hank, he’s completely fine, I get that your worried about him but we gotta move fast.” Hank nods, quickly catching up to Deimos, who greets them with a “what’s the plan of entry guys?” Sanford says “we are gonna bust in their real quick ok, get ready”. Hank chuckles “we are always ready!” Sanford gives a smile before counting “3....2...1!” The gang bursts into the lobby, catching the agents and soldats off guard, none of them where armored though. Deimos uses wind to knock some of the agents guns away before he burns them. Hank goes hand to hands with a soldat. The soldat actually overpowers Hank with the help of some agents before Sanford uses some water in a cup to drown the soldat. Hank then uses the light to blind the agents “let’s lighten up the mood shall we?”. Deimos then finishes them off with a explosive fireball. Hanks gets up panting “damn, they dogpile really well, thanks a lot for the help.” Deimos happy pipes up “no problem, come on we only got 45 minutes left!” The gang quickly begin clearing rooms, Deimos and Hank working together to take out weaker targets while Sanford uses his water abilities to distract and drown stronger targets. The gang reaches a fork in the hall, one path leads to the filter room while the other leads to the main water tank. “They most likely turned off the filter so the poison can flow through, we should turn back on.” Deimos says while eyeing the door. “That’s a good idea but we still need to stop the poison from getting into the water in the first place” Hank says with a bit of a annoyed tone. Sanford sighs again “we don’t have time guys! How about Deimos, you turn on the filter and we go stop them ok?” He sounded worried. Hank and Deimos nod “yeah I’ll do that” Deimos says while rushing to the door, leaving them behind. Hank shakes his head while he and Sanford head the other way.

Deimos arrives in a room with a bunch of agents and engies but there was an armored agent with a red vision. They wore a helmet and a gas mask, the body of the agent was covered with what looked like a smaller sized g3lom armor. As soon as Deimos walked in, the agents turned to face him. “Yo it’s that Deimos guy the boss told as about!” One of the agents exclaims. “Alrighty boys , grab your weapons, this party is about to get started” another engie says. “Woah woah fellas, you ain’t Equipped for this dude, let me handle it.” The armored agent said in a deep voice. Deimos smiled, he liked a challenge “ok tough guy, let’s dance!” He said in a cocky voice. the agent walked up, holding a large electric stun rod and an smg “with pleasure fuckface” the agent replied. The agents watching cheered for the armored dude. Deimos tried to use his usual strat of blowing the agents weapons away, but it didn’t even effect the weapons let alone the agent. The agent in response fired his smg, releasing a hailstorm of bullets upon Deimos. Deimos tries to dodge but takes a bullet to the lower chest. “Oh not so tough now a blowhard? The agent laughed at the Injured Deimos, covering his wound with his hand. The agent pulls out his stun rod and goes to go kill deimos when Deimos throws a fireball at the agent, hitting him dead In the chest. The agents armor began to melt away, his chest piece melting into molten metal puddles on the floor. “What...what did you do?! You ruined my armor! I’ll fucking rip your spine from your ass!” The agent now, enraged, charges at Deimos, swinging with no real thought. Deimos manages to dodge and then rips the agents heart out, watching him drop dead. The agents gasp before grabbing their weapons and going to charge and shoot Deimos, who makes quick work of them. Deimos limps into the next room, finding normal agents monitoring the filter system. Deimos uses his wind to knock a agent into a wall, breaking his neck. 2 soldats rushed Deimos but Deimos used his flame hands to burn the soldat faces, melting their eyepiece into their face and killing them. The lone engie in the room begged for mercy which Deimos knocked him out. Deimos then uses his computer skills to turn on the filter again, so any poison won’t get through. He leans in the computer desk, searching the room for a bandage before passing out.

MEANWHILE
Hank and Sanford had been fighting their way through room and after room of armored agents, engies and soldats. When they found out their powers were useless, they resorted to grenades but they ran out after clearing the room before this, now they had to deal with about 10 normal units and like 3 armored engies, each armed with large auto shotguns. “Maybe splitting up wasn’t a good idea Ford” Hank said, nervousness plunged his voice. “Yeah I really regret that now!” Sanford said, grabbing a pistol from the ground. “Mistakes have Consequences boys and you should have listened to our boss” an agent says, cocky as hell. “Too bad you gotta die now” another says. They aim their guns at them, Hank uses the light in the room to blind them, and Sanford uses that pistol to kill a few agents. That started a firefight, the group firing their assault rifles and shotguns at the duo. Hank and Sanford take over as the armored engies begin to move in. “Hank, we need a plan and we need it now!” Sanford whispers. “I know Hank, Im trying!” He search’s around and finds a box of grenades, with 3 left. He grabs it, and when the engies got close, threw it out them. One of them catches it and prepares to throw it back when it goes off, killing all 3 engies with it. Sanford sighs in relief as Hank takes out the remaining agents. “There are more than “just 40” Agency members here Sanford, we killed at least 50 by now” Sanford quickly runs to the next door which leads to the water tank “ we don’t have time to chat Hank! We have 10 minutes left!” Hank just rolls his “eyes” and goes to join Sanford as they get ready to enter the tank room. In the tank room, 6 heavy armored soldats wait for the signal to pump the chemicals into the tank. When the notice that the filter pops on the tank control screen, they turn to look at it, that’s when Hank tosses the last of the grenades in. The first grenade kills a soldat while the second only maims him. The soldats rev up their machines guns, opening fire as Sanford busts in, using the water to form a spear, which he uses to aim for their only weak spot, their eyepiece. The spear kills one of the soldats, leaving 4 left. They switch to grenade launchers as Hank and Sanford take cover. Hank again uses his light to blind them while Sanford hooks one in the eye. Sanford kills another one only to find that the other 3 had ganged up on Hank and where about to finish him off. Sanford takes the grenade launcher from a dead body and uses it to save Hank. With all the chemicals destroyed with the soldats, the city is safe...for now. Hank gets up gasping “Jesus Christ, when he said upgrade he meant it” Sanford nods “these guys were no joke, seriously”. Hank brushes himself off “they didn’t infect the water right? Please don’t Tell me it’s infected.” Sanford uses the screen to run a test, with the test showing no signs of poison. “Nope it’s clean....thank the lord” Sanford says. Hank motions him to leave as the 2 go to check on Deimos. The 2 enter the filter room, finding a passed out Deimos, untranformed. “DEIMOS!” Sanford rushes over “oh my god this is my fault! He must have gotten overrun!” Sanford was panicking. Hank checks his breathing “he’s still alive, and breathing, coming let’s take him home, our work here is done” Sanford nods and picks Deimos up, bring him back to the keep and they drive off.
1 DAY LATER
Deimos wakes up, noticing his stomach wound bandaged and 2bdammed taking with Sanford and Hank. “H-huh? What happen-ned..?” Deimos say in a half awake voice. “Ah Deimos, your awake” dammed said as he walked over “you took a bullet to your stomach. It may hurt but you gonna live.” Deimos layed down again and Sanford walked over “hey bud...can you explain what happened to you?” He said in a comforting tone. Deimos though for a second before saying “imma just....res.t....my....ey..es before Going to sleep again
