The Adventures of Mavus Pt. VI

Chapter 35 - Amana's Crazy Plan

"So we're just going to let Mogul stroll up to Corinth?" Sam's face looked incredulous. The guy really buffed up. I guess his mission with Jason and Merrow was a success because the guy became even more jacked than before.

From what I heard in the mission briefing, Sam regained Sentry, and during his time without Sentry, his Decen reincarnation powers had reawakened. So the dude had both Darkfire and Regeneration. That was as meta as it could get. Jason's katana was also restored, and upgraded. It probably had something to do with Sentry returning.

Amana put her hands together. "Yeah. We're going to lure him into Corinth and close the seal, trapping him with reinforcement magic." She turned to Lazarus.

Lazarus looked at me. "Do you remember what Mogul said, about New Croft being a front for the Pit of Corruption? I suspect that Mogul might be linked to it, and without the Pit, we might be able to take him on."

I looked at Junon. Junon's growth with the Achilles Boost was crazy. During one of our training sessions, Junon managed to hold her own against Sam's Form 5 (yeah, he got a new form). You might be wondering how that was even possible. Junon went from unpowered to Tier Zero in like a few days. The thing was, Junon had already gotten such a crazy good base from years of fighting without powers, that once she received them, it was none other than an expansion from her current skillset. I guess she really was worthy. Not that I was jealous or anything...

Sam smashed his fists together, causing a burst of black and blue flames. I jumped. "I'm looking forward to having a crack against Mogul. He's got a lot to pay back for what he has done to Decen and our remnants."

Jason didn't seem to like the way his protege called him his remnant. I held back a snicker. "Mogul is going to be one hell of a being to take down. Even with Junon, Mavus, and Sam. We're talking about a god who slaughtered most if not all the Paladins. And we're not even talking about the fact that the New Militia is going to be backing him up too."

Lazarus cut him off. "Nope. This is why this mission also involves rescuing another Tier Zero metahuman." He turned to me, and it felt like my heart began beating faster.

"Aaron." Lazarus smiled. "We owe him for what he had done for us."

"Hold on. We're still forgetting the fact that her most annoying highness, Calliope isn't going to be sitting idly by. Mavus mentioned that she momentarily changed?"

Lazarus frowned. "I know. Leave Calliope to me and Jason." Jason gave him a nod. Lazarus continued. "I knew all along. A part of Calliope is still in there. I'm not going to rest until I get her back."

Kyrael dug her dagger on the planning table. "The Inquisition will assist in evacuating the prisoners in the Capita. When the final battle comes, we will stand by Darkstar's side."

Marcus stood up. "The Street Angels will not sit idly by either. They got Nigel, Aaron, and Jericho. We're gonna give the New Militia everything they got coming for them for betraying the Angels."

I was so freaking lost. "Wait wait wait. Hold it, what is happening. Can someone start off from the top. I'm so lost guys. Come on!" Junon elbowed me, but Amana laughed.
