It's been a wild few weeks, but I'm back to finish out New Dawn. Return will be up before April, so be on the lookout. Anyway, I think the cliffhanger ending will annoy some, but it works with Return
Life’s Funny sometimes. One day, you’re enjoying the company of your friends, the next, they get taken away and you got.. let’s see. Black, me, Groble, and BJC.
My Name is Nick, and I’m one of the last of the Crawl Space Avengers.
CSA: New Dawn-Finale
Plot: Nick and Zach
Story: Zach
Editor in Chief: BD
YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!
The words echoed through my mind as I stood there, emotionless, unmoving. I couldn’t believe that after all this time, it came to this. This, the end of the CSA. The end of the world as I knew it.
Black lowered BJC onto the black pavement. He readied himself. Groble, stacked up with Spikes, Bulked up. Groble gritted his teeth together. He knew that either we all made it out, or we were dead. BJC let out slow, low groans, just to let us know that he was still breathing.
I clinched my fist. My hand glowed with anger. All this talk of War and Pease. Curse this! Curse this path which we were thrust apon! I ran headlong into the men. They fired back with ice agents. It put out the fire that was coming form my finger tips, increasing me into it’s shell. Groble then threw wood attacks at the assailants, and throwing some at me, mainly to crack the ice. Black, on the other hand was stuck. He made attempts to move, but he couldn’t. One of the agents grabbed BJC from the ground, and put him into the helicarrier. Groble, then asked the burning question:
“Who the fuck are you people?”

Quinjet—
Johnson, AC, Willi, Webhead, Redhood, and Spiderluver all awoke, strapped to their chairs. They groggily looked into the cabin, which had the Nu-CSA en route to the Mansion.
“You Bastard! Let us go!” Webhead screamed. He with the exception of Spiderluver, was the only veteran of the Team. Spiderluver was gagged, so she couldn’t speck, at least, not without muffled silence.
“Webhead…. Shut. Up.” Stone said. “You are all about to be disassembled. We’re showing our heroic colors, by turning you all over to the Government. Congratulations.”
“You evil, conniving little…”
“My dear fellow. Stop with the language! There are children in the cabin!”
Stone pushed a button, and the Ship started turning north. The nose of the plane started to go up, and the wheels let out a low groan. The night seemed to fade away, and the lights turned on, revealing the bright, white, room.
“We’re here.”
The CSA were forced out of the cabin, and were brought to three men, all dressed in suits. They spoke softly into their communicators, and they took them into their arms.
“You will be rewarded handsomely.”
“Excellent.”
“We’re members of an elite task force designed to override SHIELD. We are the Program. We are the ones you never see, the ones you only hear about. In fact, this mission was a huge risk. Alas, we felt that you all must be detained, for several reasons, of course. Mainly to ensure your cooperation. Wait…. It seems that Black has a friend, that likes to pop up from time to time.”
He smiled at his own pun. K-Cee appeared, seemingly having her powers back. By this time, I was in the Helicarrier as well, looking on from outside the window. Damn, it’s cold in here.
“Groble. You must come with us. Black, you are free to go. Take the girl with you, she doesn’t need to play with the big boys anymore.”
“No. I will not go with you. I will return to where I was meant to be. The Jungle.”
And with that, he took off running. The agents, thought of helping, but their leader stopped them with his arm. “Let him go.” He said. And K-Cee and Black teleported out of there. I fell asleep afterwards, excused from my attempts to break this shell.
Interrogation Room—
We all awoke at the same time. We were lined against the wall. All of us: AC, BJC, Me, Spiderluver, Johnson, Redhood, and Willi
“Ow….” I let out.
The Light came on with over zealousness and excitement.
“Welcome the CSA: Disassembled, the game you never can win or lose! Let’s start with you AC. You, being an Illegal Alien, you are being deported. BJC, you will serve a jail time. Spiderluver, You too, Jail time. Johnson, You are Dishonorably discharged. Redhood, you are going to find out what is in that cloak. And Willi, your previous offences are now valid. Jail time. Any questions?”
“Yes, When do We get out revenge?” Hissed Electro. He wanted Groble. He wanted to make him pay for making him scream like a child.
“Revenge? Who said anything about revenge? Manipulation, that’s what you do, make them suffer, from the inside out. Ask our mutual friend about that. Wait, he’s dead.” He grinned at me. “Webhead? Are you feeling… a little Woozy?”
He was right. I felt, tingly. I felt as if numbness was setting in. The Blackness started to overtake me, but I couldn’t Stop it.
Meanwhile, a man lurked in the shadows. He watched as the Nu-CSA tried to overthrow the Old. He smiled. “They’ll get their due.” His hard gravely voice had a distinct southern accent. He smiled and crept away.
In bold print, the newspaper came. Headline?
THE CSA ARE CAPTURED
Last night, all but three CSA members were captured, one, is missing, the other two at large. Officials say that the two at large are minimal threats. The ones Detained are the most serious threats. The one Missing, Groble, is probably the most dangerous. Reports indicate that he is dead, but the treat is still out there. Mark Stone, who bought the CSA, will unveil his new team in a matter of months.
“Tombstone? I think I’ll take you up on your offer.” Brad said
Joiner Enterprises, Inc.
Ryan walked into his office. He sat down in his chair and sighed. “It’s been 6 months now. Where could he be?” He thought. IT frustrated him. A buzz came from his desk. “There are two people here to see you Mr. Joiner.” “Come.”
In walked a short, but very beautiful woman, with a man dressed in rags and a light beard, his pale skin shined against the bright sunlight, he squinted. Ryan closed the shades, and he was able to see again.
“The CSA are no more. In their place, we got Stone’s Cronies. What we gunna do?”
“Rebuild.” The woman said.
“Thank you Sister.” Ryan replied.
“You both know the two people we need: BD and Zach.”
“Zach’s dead.”
“Not Quite…” A voice said. Out of seemingly nowhere, Nick Fury appeared. “It’s time for a return…”
The End…. For now.
