The Outcasts: War of Power

By Dylan Reneerkens

Important: This book is the 6th book in our Superhero Universe!

Initially, the Vazunians were welcomed with open arms, but it didn't take long for the humans to turn on them. Despite having done nothing wrong, some of the Vazunians were killed, including Aenchoid's aunt. This senseless act of violence left the young Queen seething with anger and hatred towards all humans. She vowed to take over the continent with the advanced weaponry at her disposal.

 

Years passed, and just as the Vazunians were settling into their new home, a portal appeared in the middle of their city. Through it were humans from another universe. The Vazunians sent monsters to destroy everything in their path, and the Earth's army was no match for them.

 

The fate of the planet rested on the shoulders of its heroes, even those who had tried to stay hidden from the world. They knew they had to step up and fight for their home.

Business trip.

Amy stood nervously in front of Victoria, unsure of whether or not she should voice her concerns. Are you sure that it's okay that we leave? she finally asked.

Victoria smiled reassuringly. Yeah, of course. You guys have worked so hard, and you never had an actual vacation, she replied.

Lucas and Bill nodded in agreement, but Lucas couldn't help but voice his worries. But what if something happens while we're gone? he asked.

Victoria could see the worry etched on his face and quickly reassured him. Don't worry about it, and if something really bad happens, you can always fly back.

Lucas looked at her, his expression softening. You know what? You're right. What can happen if we're away for once?

Bill chimed in, Exactly. But Victoria, we have to go. We have to make it to the plane in time. 

Victoria nodded, a small smile on her face. You guys deserve this vacation, she said. You've worked so hard at the Elecforms store and on the streets.

The three of them came together for a group hug, and Victoria yelled out after them as they walked away, Bye, have a safe flight!

As they disappeared from view, Victoria couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. She wanted to go with them, to escape the pressures of running her father's company for just a little while. But she had an important trip to Columbus, Ohio for a business deal, and if she didn't go, her company could miss out on millions of dollars.

With a heavy heart, she walked a few terminals back to her private jet, where her pilot was waiting for her. Are you ready? he asked.

Victoria smiled weakly and nodded. Of course.

Her pilot looked at her with pride. I just want to say that I'm proud of you. After everything you've been through, you're still here, continuing to run your father's company.

Victoria smiled, feeling touched by his words. Thank you.

The pilot continued, I remember every time your father sat in this plane, and the talks that we had. He was always proud of you, and I know he still is proud of you.

Victoria felt a lump form in her throat as she absorbed his words. Honestly, I don't know what else to say than thank you, she whispered.

The pilot smiled and instructed her to put on her seatbelt. We're ready for takeoff. Victoria complied, putting on her headset and settling in for the long trip ahead. As the plane took off, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, her mind wandering to memories of her father.

In her dreams, she saw Charlie, her ex-boyfriend, and the last time she had seen him. She reached out to take his hand, but the pilot's voice interrupted her slumber. Hey, Victoria, we're here.

She opened her eyes, disoriented for a moment, before realizing where she was. Oh, sorry, she mumbled.

Don't worry about it, the pilot replied. But you have to go to your hotel. 

Victoria nodded, grabbing her suitcase and thanking the pilots for their service. As she walked out of the airport and into the bustling city, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and apprehension. This business deal was important, but it also meant spending time away from the people she cared about.

But she reminded herself that sometimes sacrifices had to be made. And maybe, just maybe, she could find a way to make it up to her friends when she returned. With that thought in mind, she set off towards her hotel, ready to tackle whatever challenges lay ahead.

Victoria stepped out of the airport and into the bustling city. It was her first time in Ohio and she was excited to explore. However, before she could do that, she had to find a taxi that could take her to her hotel. She put her arm up and yelled, Taxi! A yellow cab stopped right in front of her, and the driver came out of the taxi. He smiled. Let me guess, you're from New York, right?

Victoria smiled back and replied, Yes, how do you know that?

The taxi driver chuckled, I noticed the way you yelled for a taxi.

Victoria laughed, but was also a little ashamed. I'm sorry, it's an old habit, she said.

The driver put her suitcase in the back of his trunk.  Don't worry about it. Everyone from New York does that. Victoria sat down in the taxi and told the driver where she had to go.

As the taxi weaved through the busy streets, Victoria thought about what she could do in the meantime, before her business meeting. She was so lost in thought that she didn't even realize when they reached the hotel. She stepped out of the taxi, and the driver got her suitcase out of his trunk and put it down on the ground. It's $21.68, please, he said.

Victoria handed him two 20-dollar bills. Keep the change, she said, smiling. 

The driver looked surprised. Are you sure? 

Victoria nodded. Yes, have a great day! 

The driver's face broke into a grin. You too! Thank you so much!

After checking in, Victoria walked into her room and looked out of the window. She had a pretty nice view, but she was so tired that she laid down on her bed and fell asleep in no time. She woke up to find that it was dinnertime. She went to a restaurant by herself and ordered a steak. While she was waiting for her food, a guy sat down at her table. Uhm... can I help you? she asked.

The man introduced himself, Hi, I'm Steve. I couldn't help but wonder why such a beautiful girl is sitting here all by herself.

Victoria smiled politely but shook her head, I'm sorry, but that's none of your business.

Steve's expression turned sour, That's a bit harsh. What if I buy you a drink?

Victoria's tone was firm, Then I'll throw it on your head. I'm not looking for anyone.

Steve persisted, That's because the person you're looking for is already in front of you.

Victoria's composure shattered. The thought of Charlie being dead made her feel angry, and now this guy was hitting on her. She believed that she could never find anyone else like Charlie. She didn't want anyone else.

She grabbed her water and threw it in Steve's face, I thought I made myself clear. I don't want to talk to you!

Steve's anger flared, Fine! Then die alone!

The security guard approached Victoria and asked, Excuse me, ma'am. Is this guy bothering you?

Victoria nodded, Yes, he is. Can you please kick him out?

The security dragged Steve away while he was saying that he didn't do anything wrong. Victoria sat down and felt ashamed. Everybody was looking at her. Then her steak came, and she finished it as quickly as possible. When she was done, she quickly paid the bills and walked out of the restaurant.

Victoria walked back into her hotel room and checked her phone to see a text message from her friends. They had arrived at their vacation destination and missed her. Victoria replied, telling them that she missed them too and wished them a great time. She sat down on her bed and stared out of the window, lost in thought.

Steve's words kept replaying in her head, Then die alone.

She couldn't shake off the feeling of not wanting to end up alone, despite her love for Charlie. However, she knew she wasn't ready to be with someone new yet, even if Charlie had spoken to her in her dream. She needed a distraction from her thoughts, so she decided to unpack her suitcase.

As she opened her suitcase, she saw her gloves at the top. She always carried them with her, just in case of an emergency. Then, she remembered she was in Ohio, where the fake haunted hospital video from the HighResTuber GhostLife had taken place. Curiosity got the best of her, and she decided to check out GhostLife's channel on HighResTube.

She found his channel on the front page and clicked on it to see what kind of videos he was making. GhostLife was doing videos about gaming and reacting to other videos. However, his newest video caught her eye. How I made the fake haunted hospital video! Victoria was intrigued and decided to watch it.

Meanwhile, Omar and Artie were in the present, talking about Omar's videos. Omar revealed how he had faked the live stream of the haunted hospital video with the help of his professional team. Artie was bored and teased Omar, but he knew it was just a hobby for Omar.

After the video, Omar suggested getting some food, and Artie asked for a hamburger and fries. Omar joked that he needed to watch his weight and opted for a pizza instead. Artie laughed, and they both headed out for some food.

Omar responded sarcastically, Don't judge me!

Despite the oddity of sharing his body with another person's soul, he and Artie got along quite well. They didn't always enjoy sharing their body, but Artie knew that second chances were rare. When the god of the judgment place allowed Artie to stay with Omar, Artie knew he had to be the best version of himself.

Omar asked, Do you think there will ever be another demon?

Artie replied, I don't know. The only thing I know is that if something happens to this world, we have to stop it.

Omar asked, What else could happen? Xyreon is dead, the demon is dead, and the strange army in California is gone.

Artie responded, Those things appeared out of nowhere, so it can always happen.

Omar's lips curved into a small smile. I guess you have a point, he conceded.

Artie's heart sank as he thought about his missing mother. And we still need to find Donny somewhere, he said, his voice tinged with desperation. Maybe he can help us figure out what happened to my mother.

When they finished eating their pizza, Artie asked Omar, When are your parents going to be home?

Omar replied, I don't know, but probably when we're asleep.

Artie then asked Omar, When are you going to tell them about me?

Omar responded, Never. They would freak out. 

Artie asked, But what happens if we're being filmed?

Omar replied, Then we're screwed.

Artie chuckled at Omar's idea and exclaimed, What a brilliant plan!

Omar joined in on the laughter, but quickly retorted, Shut up. I'm about to make new video.

Artie let out a sigh, Another one? Seriously?

Omar replied, Yes, my parents aren't home, so it's quiet. 

After making the video, Omar went to bed. The next morning, they heard Omar's parents arguing. It was nothing new, but
