At the Vanishing Point...
'Micah and Haruto were inside as Trey ran inside and slowly stopped; his eyes widening as he stared at his assumed dead best friend, sitting on the couch. He slowed walked around Haruto in complete shock and managed to get a word out.'

Trey: H-Haruto? Is that really you?? He looks at Micah H-How?! He looked at Haruto once more and looked completely shocked and confused.

Haruto: Yeah, it's me. He waved to his best friend and gave him a smile, removing the bottle from his phone and tucking it into his pocket. About a month and a half since I left, right? Giorno arrived through a side entrance and walked into the VP

Giorno: Ah, Haruto. Welcome back from the Arcana. How'd it go?

Haruto: Managed to leave early. Got some pretty awesome stuff out of it.

Giorno: Cool, cool. He sees Trey in shock, then starts to back up My bad, I interrupted something... He backs away and heads into the kitchen for a snack

Haruto: To be fair, I did tell you guys in advance I'd be leaving.

Dominic came in to the VP with Eliana and saw Haruto, and his eye twitched.

Dominic: Y-You, wait, blackhole, but, durability-- Science, HOW IN THE HELL ARE YOU HERE!?

Haruto: You do remember I can stop time, right? In addition, I have extra-dimensional deities watching over me, so... F-ck logic. He reached into his pocket and took out a cold can of root beer, opening it and taking a sip I got some new powers out "dying" too. He used air quotes around "dying"

Eliana: Hey, we saw you die, okay? We saw Zacharia suck you into a... A black hole! Wh-where were you this whole time? Inside the black hole?

Haruto: Pfft, no. The deities who made the Tarot buckle used the black hole as a portal to their personal planet.' He held out his new phone, which was heavily modified to include compacted motorcycle components. Then, he pointed to an app that had a globe with an arrow circling around it, as if to symbolize returning' I can go back whenever I want, wherever I want. Just gotta use this app and bam, I'm on a planet isolated from the rest of the universe. He then went back to his online group chats to catch up on what's been happening to them.

Trey stared at him and sat down looking concerned and confused, but smirked a little, feeling a bit of relief.

Trey: Well... Let’s see what you got... Hopefully it was worth dying over... He held his head still feeling confused but couldn’t help but feel a little happy that he could cry.

Haruto: I think it was definitely worth it...' He gave everyone a smile and finished his soda before crushing the can with his hands. When he opened his hands, there wasn't anything there.' So... what did I miss while I was gone?

Eliana: Virtues gone crazy, there's barely any Superheroes left in the city save from us, and the Erratics... Which Trey made an alliance with.

Haruto: I see... Haruto browsed the news, seeing that Richard Gardener has declared war on the Absconders Gardener? Who the hell is this?' He taps and holds the current screen, then taps on the globe with an arrow icon, sending it to the Arcana for analysis. A second later, he receives information from them Ah... His dad was killed by... one of us? He looks through other news articles, then uncovers the interview with Dom and the footage of Eli killing Thomas Eli... you actually... killed someone? He looked at her with disbelief, not expecting the "pacifist" of the group to have killed a person, much less a multi-billionaire.' Gone for a month and a half, and this is what happens...

Eliana: I had to kill him! It wasn't murder, it was justice. You didn't see what he did, he murdered children, many innocent people for fun. He was a monster, and now his son is making out like I'm some sort of demon looking to destroy his family. He's dragging you all down too, but I'm dealing with it.

Haruto: Yare yare daze... He sighed as he closed the news articles and got up. I guess everything falls apart when one of us leaves... He began pacing around, somehow drinking another can of soda as he paced We need to start training together again. Or go on missions together again. The team needs to head out together. The Absconders need to come back in full force. He turned to everyone currently gathered with a serious face And we'll do that by defeating the Virtues.

Trey: They’re tough though... I mean you guys got more powerful so hopefully we can stand a chance now... He laid back in the chair and went into thought.

Haruto: Hopefully... Last time I checked, they had gravity manipulators.

Giorno: In addition... Giorno returned to the room, seeing that everyone else was already involved There was one who summoned a dragon. It wasn't a normal dragon though...

Haruto: Dragon, huh...? He brought out his phone and looked through his inventory Hm... Maybe I should make more weapons...

Eliana: I got ambushed in the street by them. Saw a Sound Warper. Apparently the Erratics fought one Virtue who mentioned a guy behind the guy. A leader above the actual Seven.

Haruto: A sound warper, one encountered by the Erratics, one who formed a dragon, the gravity f--k, and a lead on the leader of the Seven Virtues? Hm... He was taking notes on his phone Yare yare... how bothersome this is going to be...' He closed his eyes for a moment, taking a breath. When he opened his eyes, he saw everyone around him in a zombie-like state. He panicked for a moment before rubbing his eyes and reopening them. After that, everyone was normal' *Even now...? Those damn Echoes...* I should be able to share my weapons with everyone, and I've got new transformation equipment... Perhaps we should have a meeting with everyone we've recruited and go over what everyone's bringing to the fight.

Dominic: Hm, I think Ripper owes me a favour, time that I actually take up duty as a member of the Hivemind and call in help.

Eliana: We can meet up with everyone and discuss the situa- 'She is interrupted by the whole base suddenly shaking, like an earthquake. A loud hiss echoes throughout the Vanishing Point tunnels, then before anyone can react, a chilling, snake-like voice starts speaking. It was whispering, but it was still loud and irritated the Absconders' ears as it spoke. Eliana recognised it, as the voice of the Sound Virtue.'

Virtue: ''The Absconders, the time has almost come. We were battling for quite some time, yet the war is not over. We have discovered your base, but we will not attack. The city is falling apart and thus our new world is close to being a reality. Only a few stand in our way. The Seven Virtues want this to end as much as you do, and so we shall end it once and for all. We have a proposal for our final battle, and so we invite you to meet us before the battle commences. Come to Trinity County by tomorrow at 8 am sharp, and we shall discuss terms of battle. Bring your leaders, your pathetic army if you have one, bring whatever you wish to show off. However, if you do not attend, we will unleash Hell onto this city, tearing it down piece by piece and replace it with our own. I wonder how much you'll be able to save in time, I doubt it'll be much. So I advise you to meet with us, the Seven of us will enjoy seeing you. Farewell.'' The voice echoed and quietened, as everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and shock.

Eliana: Well... Change of plan, we'll meet with the Seven Virtues beforehand. They will bring their entire army no doubt, to show their power. We could do the same, but we'll look pathetic to them either way, whether we bring everyone or just the most powerful. We don't have an army to show off, we should just go poetic and bring seven of us. Especially Haruto, that'd be an insult, showing that one of us "returned from the dead". It's good to let them underestimate us, guys?

Trey: He said in a shakey tone. This is actually kind of scary dudes... Sorry to be the pessimist but I don’t think we can actually beat them... Even after you guys have gotten really powerful. But, I guess I’ll contact the Erratics. He stands up and is about to go to the tunnel leading to his room.

Alyna: She came out of her room. I’ll call and tell Spoil.

Eliana: I'll go find Jason. Trey can find Alex after he's done. I doubt Thad will be up to join, not that he'd be useful in this fight... She buries her face in her hand, sighing. So we'll bring me, Trey, Haruto, Spoil, Alex, Dominic and Limit. The rest we'll leave behind, the Virtues don't know how many members are in the Absconders, let them underestimate us. We can check out their army, no doubt composed of half the population of LA...

Micah: Great. I’ll get some tools and enchantments ready and stuff. Stuff that’ll help us gain the edge. Also Trey, there’s this spell I’ve been trying. I’m going to need your help with it when you get back.

Trey: Got it. Now, be right back.

A few moments later in South L.A streets
Alex was in his bright red muscle car a burger in his right hand and a cigarette in his left, he was looking outside through the opened car window, his eyes were wandering around when he saw a woman in a mini skirt walk on the pathway, his eyes opened wide and he smirked

Alex: Whooooooo!!! Hey! the woman turned to him with a concerned look when he took out a wad of notes to shake it in front of his face I have the day free, I also the money free, and now, you are gon' be free of that he pointed at the skirt, The woman turned at him in disgust

Woman: How dare you!!! I will call the police

Alex: Heh, he took a bite out of his sandwich as he was laughing God! why do b-tches wear those if it's not to attract handsome guys like me, jeez, get outta here. the woman cut to the right as she walked away as fast as possible

Trey dropped down on top of a building next to where Alex was, watching him, and sighing.

Trey: *This guy is such an idiot.* He jumps down the building and after almost reaching the ground, he boosts himself on a window of the building and sits on it, getting Alex’s attention. Yo! Alex!

Alex: Oh! look who is here, What's the deal, you here to catch me for sexual assault? Because today I didn't. he took a bite of his burger Tell me or get lost my man.

Trey: 'He rose an eyebrow at Alex, looking confused on how he drew such a conclusion of his arrival. He chuckled and shook his head, then said in a light tone.' Look dude, be at Trinity Forest grounds at 8am sharp tomorrow. We’re meeting up with the Virtues. They’re going to be discussing the final battle with us, so I advise that you come.

Alex: Dude you just expect me to know what you talking 'bout? Being an Absconders is such a f-cking drag he took a last bite of his burger and threw the paper outside let's just go to the super secret base, I need rest.

Trey: He rolls his eyes and stands up completely horizontal sticking to the window. See you there then. He takes off running up the building until he gets to the top, then takes off flying, although this gives him a heavy headache.

Alex looked at Trey as he took off and in a reflex tried to take a bite of his sandwich before realizing that he already finished it, he continued looking out his window for girls when he noticed someone he was recognizing walking down the pathway, it was the boy from before.

Alex: Hey! You! the boy turned around with a surprised look on his face

Boy: Oh! Hello haha he walked to the car, a polite smile on his face

Alex: I just wanted to tell you; thanks, what you said helped me, I was kinda losing my sh-t

Boy: Ah? oh this, haha no problem I guess

Alex: Anything you especially want? money? fame? power?, Just ask.

Boy: haha...the boy was looking around uncomfortably with an awkward grin on his face ...I don't really want anything...

Alex: I am grateful man, I won't let go until I give you back the favor

Boy: Well...I don't like to talk about it...but....the smile of the boy turned back to a neutral expression you see...there is a man called Allan Oliji who...well...it's a business man, he gave me a little cash in exchange of delivering him...something...I thought that it would be something small...maybe drugs or something...but...it's worse.

Alex: Allan Oliji? I think I heard this name before...he was a member of the domain back in 2020 right?

Boy: the domain? what is that?

Alex: Oh nevermind, you should not even have heard about that, let's just say that this Allan Oliji is not a honest man, what is it you had to deliver.

Boy: people...

Alex: That doesn't surprise me from someone from there.

Boy: immigrants, he wants me to deliver immigrants to a certain location.

Alex: What? why would he ask a kid to deliver freaking illegal immigrants.

Boy: He doesn't want to raise any suspicions...I met him when I just started going to the squat...I accepted...a million dollars for crying out loud...but now, I don't want to do it anymore...but he won't let me...he will kill me if he doesn't get it...

Alex: Ha! Not if I kill them first!

Boy: I'm not asking you to kill them...I don't want anyone to get killed!

Alex: pfff, then what...

Boy: here...in south L.A, there is human trafficking happening under the hero's sight, you are a member of the absconders right? Just tell them...

Alex: We have bigger issues right now...I don't think they will be able to help.

Boy: There are families in containers out there, they are treated like objects, they get beaten everyday, they are sold like slaves...this kind of thing shouldn't be happening.

Alex: *what a dumb kid, thinking that the world is a fairy tail* Ok kid, I will let them know for the sake of gratefulness, but I don't promise anything.

Boy: thank you a lot! I will be on my way now, sorry for bothering haha

Alex: no problemo, Alex then started the engine and at max speed headed to the VP, he got in and first person he saw was Dominic in the hallway, who was in his armor, but a different protocol, the helmet had been streamlined almost matching with the shape fo his head, he had a long technological coat made of nanites, where the tails of the coats had green and white lines.

Dominic: Sup Alex, you sounded like you needed to get here fast.

Alex: I did want to get here fast, Things are getting out of hand here.

Dominic: What isn't out of hand anymore? Anywho, enlighten me...

Alex: Just heard about a human trafficking network going on, In normal conditions I wouldn't care but I have to look into it to give back a favor, immigrants come in, are sold, all right in front of you guys.

Dominic: Take me to this trafficking network, gives me a chance to test this protocol out as well.

Alex: It doesn't work like this, it's not the domain, the domain was just 1 place, what is happening right now, is complex and well hidden, Can you make research on a certain Allan Ojiri?

Dominic: Hm yes, of course, also. Gives Alex what seems to be eight cannisters that look like futuristic soda cans This is another thing I want to test, bring out to any overly serious gang places you know of like the Domain, plant it in the exact middle, and, tell me what happens...

Alex: alright, who else is in here?

Dominic: So far Antonia.

Alex: 'Kay cool. he walks into the room and sits down to take out is phone and search the name "Allan Ojiri" on the web browser, Antonia, was there and she saw the name he searched up.

Antonia: Ya' know, unless you're going back to extremely shady stuff, why are you looking that D-bag up?

Alex: Uh? he looked at Antonia Oh, it's you uh...uuuh...Tanya right?, he is involved in a human trafficking network and I am bored.

Antonia: Lemme guess you want to find him?

Alex: Well, thank you captain obvious.

Dominic: Found him, uploading map to your phone now...

the map showed up on the phone of Alex

Alex: well that didn't take long...Well, let's get in my car... we ride to the docks where he is supposed to be.

Dominic: Just to tell you it feels loger than it takes to find.

Antonia: Alright, come on Alex, lead the way...

Alex lead the way to his car and after the 2 others got in, they drove to the docks after many minutes they arrived, the place was completely empty, no one was here working or anything, Alex got out of the car and looked at Dom and Antonia

Alex: come on.

The two nod, as Dom creates a knife, and Antonia pulls out her pistols, just in case.

The two followed Alex as he was searching around, after a few minutes, they noticed a big container that was transported by one of the boats and that surprisingly wasn't open yet, Alex got close to the container and used one of his fire balls to blow up the door, when it felt down, what they were seeing was horrible, tenths of people most likely from India all dead on the floor

Alex: jesus f-ck m-before he could finish his sentence a flash appeared, it was from a camera that was suspended from the top of the container, it had just taken a picture of the three absconders in front of immigrants corpses.

Alex: well, F-ck.

Antonia: Got it! She used flames to boost herself up and grabs the camera.

Alex: no, no, no...The picture must have been sent to a server automatically...sh-t, we just got framed...f-ck...Allan Ojiri knew we were coming...that f-cking kid, I will gut him!

Dominic: Wait a server? He looks at a radio tower at the distance Come on, follow me, I can do this. Soon he goes to the radio tower as both followed him as he was making some tendrils sprout from his back Do me a favor, guard my body please...

Alex: Don't. Allan Ojiri probably downloaded the picture from there along with all people working with him...One misstep and we are public enemies...don't. I don't want. to be. a public ene-his phone was ringing, he took it to look at "Private Number" written on it and answered

Alex: Who is that?

Private number: long time no see.

Alex: Allan Ojiri; I will kill you.

Allan: No you won't, neither will your friends, The absconders are criminals, you destroyed various properties during your fights, some of your members killed people and you are with them...YOU! what kind of hero team is this?

Alex: You are judging yet you are Allan Ojiri, one of the domain familiars and ex collaborator.

Allan: I am a business man Red Mask, Business is legal.

Alex: not when it involves humans.

Allan: Hahaha, big talk, the virtues, the absconders, the avengers, WHAT AN ERA TO LIVE IN!, an era of people convincing themselves that they are doing the right when truly they aren't doing anything but wasting time and space. Their illusions of grandeur pains me.

Alex: Shut up and get to your point, why did you even call?

Allan: Well, Dominic, Antonia and yourself are in a delicate position, I called you to point that out.

Alex: Get lost Allan! he hung off and smashed his phone

Dominic makes his tendrils get off of the tower, and Antonia was swearing under her breath.

Dominic: So, the b-starf can make us public enemies, LA already sees us as terrorists.

Alex: I'm not a big fan of getting chased, I always bribed my way through things, Allan never does things at random...Just be ready I guess, we should head back to the VP the got into Alex's cars and made their way back to the VP

Meanwhile...
'Dominic went back to Dinomo tower in his office, and he sighed in stress as he looked behind him looking at the city, he stood up from his chair, just to look at the view. He was also looking at his slight reflection in the window, seeing his pupils dilate and change colors a bit.'

Dominic: Yeah, it's all gonna fall if we don't clear our names... I know it's hard, but we have to keep pushing on... Being labeled by the law has never stopped any hero really, so just find ways, we always do... But they look at us and forget what we do, what we sacrificie, they can't be greatful His eyes furiously glows a dark green ... They'll abandon us! They'll all stab us in the back, S.H.I.E.L.D, the Government, even the damn people, t-they'll betray us... A tear rolls down his cheek as he looks down a bit, but he starts laughing Funny how all of them wouldn't be here without any of you huh? He looks up and fully sees his reflection, it was Dominic, but by his side was Dino, behind him was the Vanquish, and there was Chernabog, the Symbiote, and Wicked You need to calm down more Dominic, a hero's journey is never an easy one... And You're right, you could have easily ruled LA, but you chose to do the hero business for fun, but you learned to be a true hero... I could have destroyed the city, but I stopped, and that is something you did... You were able to sympathize with inner demons, and embrace them... If people will label us as terrorists, fine, we'll keep being what they call "terrorists"... He hears the door suddenly open and it was Viviane who looked a bit worried Viv, you can knock next time, anything up?

Viviane: I'm just here to tell you, several employees want a raise, as they say at this point only money can make them stay.

Dominic: So you're telling me you want a raise?

Viviane: Wha-? No, I-

Dominic: Kidding, anyways, yeah raise those salaries, proportionate though, anything else?

Viviane: I wanted to talk about something...

Dominic: Oh, ohhhh, is this about the club, look I'm sorry, I had one too many drinks...

Viviane: No, don't be.

Dominic: No, no, I can be seen as manipulating someone lower than me, there can be lawsuits, and I'm dragging Dinomo through enough bombs and-

Viviane: Dominic! She interrupted ss he sat down, being calm Look, I just want to say that, I'm staying by your side no matter what, in fact, your father planned it that way, and, I can see why, you are becoming a man, that even he admits, he could hever become. And that's a good man, and I see that, I feel that, He's proud to have been your father, Dominic. She gives him a smile.

Dominic: He looks at the window seeing Dino putting a hand on his shoulder *Hehe, Old man... Hehe little shit.* Thank you, Viv, from what's happening so far, I'm glad to know someone who's not an Absconder is taking my side, gives me hope that there are still people who believe in the Absconders. He turns at his chair and looks at the city, but Dominic is caught off by a hand on his shoulder and it was Viviane.

Viviane: Give them time, they'll see.

11th July, 2026
'It was 7:54 am when the Absconders arrived. They were in Trinity County, in an open forest area near a rocky hill, Eliana, Trey, Haruto, Alex, Dominic, Limit and Spoil all came together and stood in a closely packed line. They were facing their enemies, all Seven Virtues who were staring them down, standing in an orderly line as if expecting guests. The Seven were wearing their own unique coloured cloaks, red, blue, green, purple, grey, black and orange. Behind the Virtues on the open field, outreaching as far as the Absconders could see, was several armies of cloaked assassins, all of them standing in square-structured groups of one thousand soldiers, as if ready to march. There were seven squares, no doubt one army for each Virtue, resulting in 7,000 Assassin soldiers. The Virtues were all hooded, but when the Absconders arrived in formation, they removed their hoods in respect. Seven against seven they all stood.'

Anthony (Green): Welcome, Absconders. He whispered in his snake voice We're glad you came. We've all greatly admired your cour-

Eliana: There's no need for a faux affable conversation. We're here to discuss battle terms, that is all.

Anthony: Patience, Gemstone.

Victoire (Purple): Look, girl, there's seven thousand more of us than there are of you. Why are you still playing tough? Not to mention this. 'She snaps her fingers, as a loud mechanical roar was heard in the distance. Eliana shook at the sound of it.' Hope I didn't scare ya...
