The atmosphere inside the watch tower felt quiet, all the members and workers went about their business, it's been three day after the funeral of Ultraman, yes he did it, he succeed but at what cost?. usually at the time like this, Himeya will always be spotted in cafeteria, had a talk with other member and workers staff as well. But now if feels like there is something missing, Wonder Woman and Flash can be seen holding a plate of food, each of them had their average meal like usual.
None of them spoke a words much, they pick up the place and sit down, not many people in cafe, it was quite and peacefully, honestly they just survive the most catastrophe thing that could bring the extinction to all species in Milky way, "It's been while we hadn't catch up right?" Wonder Woman said, "Yup i think so, gee never though be so quite around here" Flash said, "Me neither" Wonder Woman said.
"So uh, how had you been doing?" Flash ask, "I'm doing fine" Wonder Woman said, "Uh huh" Flash said as he drink a cup of soda, "So what about you?" Wonder Woman ask, "I've been pretty busy in Central city actually" Flash, "I want to hear all about it, i saw some of it on the news but it was not the same as-" Wonder Woman pause as she saw someone.
Hawkgirl(Shayera) with the plate of food with her, "I'm sorry, i though we having dinner tonight" she said, "Is it Tuesday?, silly me making dinner plans with two beautiful women on the same night" Flash jokingly, "uh-huh" Wonder Woman respond, "We can do this another time" Shayera was about to leave "Don't be ridiculous, we can all have a meal together it's a chance for us to get reacquainted patch things up" Flash said.
"Maybe" Wonder Woman said, the memory of Himeya storm towards to Zetton was still fresh in her mind, it was the most catastrophic thing she ever face, the black hole that absorb him and Zetton, who know what happen to him?. "Diana?" she heard someone is calling her, "Diana?", she look up back only to see Flash and Hawkgirl was starring at her, "Are you alright? you look like you lost or something" Flash ask.
"Nothing.....it's just.......i was thinking about him" Wonder Woman said, now there was a sorrow in everyone's face, they will never forget Himeya and his sacrifice, he was a good friend, "I don't want to bring this, but what will happen is Space beast came out?" Flash said as the memory of meeting Pedoleon Klien at Apokolips still haunted his mind.
"Then we dealt with them, they are not a natural disaster, they are something we can fight, beside we already had special ops for hunting space beast on watch tower" Wonder Woman said.

"We do?....when?" Flash said, "Hadn't you paying attention during the meeting?" Shayera(Hawkgirl) said, "Oh you during Batman was talk about new weapon and stuff, and some training ops like that?" he said, "Yes" Both the heroin spoke in unison, "Okay, okay, maybe i actually remember but just pretend not to" Flash said. " I need to cold my mind a little" Wonder Woman said.
"Me too" Shayera get up from her seat as well, "Hey, where are you going?, come on" Flash said, he then turn around to see other member were starring at him, "I had dinner with two women at the same time because I'm a stud" his hand touch the pie cream as he lean to the table, but he sit down and eat his dinner.
Felix who possess the guard body was still trying to find a new body to replace the Annihilator for now to attack Amazon and enter Hades World to claim back his physical appearance, but he found nothing, just some useless piece of junk. He scowl in annoying as he can't find anything in this resourceful place, he then walk towards to another door and press the open button, the slide to each side left and right, open it's entrance.
And Felix enter inside the room, this one was huge and dark, he couldn't see a thing inside, he curse this human vision and for not capable to catch a spell, if he step out from it, his spirit won't last long. As he search for the room and found nothing, he turn back, and pause.
He pause of shock, in front of him was a towering figure with dark eye, his face seems like a metallic steel with three short crest on top, and it stood 30 feet tall, where the heck is this humanoid giant appear from and how could he didn't notice the sheer size of it, he just randomly appear out of no where. "Who are you?" Felix said, "Dark Mephisto" the giant introduce himself.
Dark Mephisto?, him, he doesn't even look like Mephisto at all, what's with the ridiculous look on him, "Mephisto?, hah, i seen the real one, you are not Mephisto" Felix mock him, the dark giant however didn't take that world gratefully, he then stretch his hand and aim towards to Felix and soon a white flash cause Felix to fainted. His vision was blank but he soon open up his eye, he sense a very cold ground, he quickly get up and look around to find out where he was.
He was surrounded by dark and negative aura, he can a scream of thousands souls begging for mercy, the souls itself appear to be red in color and had a face of screaming person, it was terrifying to look at it, but he then he was shock to see his hand, no his ordinary hand, not an illusion. And his physical body as well, all return back to him.
"I see you're determine to get back to your physical appearance" a familiar voice spoke to him, he turn his head and focus on the large body in front of him, similar to the dark giant before, but much more larger. "Welcome to my world, where the souls that kill will be torture for my entertain" Mephisto said.
"I do not appreciate you speak to me like that, witch" Mephisto said mocking him, "How dare you mock me, I Felix the sorcery that master thousands of spell will teach of lesson, he then start to casting all the spells and curse on mephisto but nothing happen. He then start another spell and curse on Mephisto but nothing happen. "What's wrong with me? what happen to-" he pause as he feel a sudden shock of pain from his head.
All the words of mockery from the people he meet before, all came back to him, this time he feel all the pain both physical and mental, "ARRRRGHHHHH!!", "You insolent fool, i had live for thousands of year, and i spent only a year in Earth to understand you human, did you really think the dark magic sorcerer that you learn can compete with dark cosmic" Mephisto said as he keep torturing the witch.
"Please!! make it stop!!" he scream in pain and plead for mercy, Mephiso feel amuse to see this one behavior, shortly after Zetton was destroyed, he was furious, with it, and wanted to search for prey for him to play and then this idiot come out and wanted to meet him, so he grant his wish, but not like what Felix expected.
Soon the pain finally disappear and Felix gaps took a deep breathe, he then inhale and exhale and relax for a moment, before his finally stood up, his leg were shaken as he stare at Mephisto, this time fear came to him. Mephisto can sense it and he love to taste it, "Yes the fear, i can feel it inside you" Mephisto said. "What are going to do to me, please spare me" Felix plead for mercy.
His ego just shatter in second, Mephisto wanted to dig further, "Hmm, if i do, what are you going to do?" Mephisto said, "I'll do anything, anything" Felix said as he didn't realize he just make a deal and it would cost his soul, "Anything, anything" Felix said, Mephisto's face were blank, but behind he was smile, smile because he will got what he wanted. "Very well, we had a deal" Mephisto said as he give him a necklace with a purple crystal at the center.
The necklace then hover towards to Felix, he look at the necklace and slowly his hand reach it and grab it, "W-what is this?" Felix ask, "This necklace will give you power to control the space beast, but you can only take 3 as well" Mephisto said, then several space beast appear, Pedoleon Flame Guros, Galberos, Golgolem, Grantella, Nosferu brawler, Bugbuzun Growler, Kuutura, Banpira, Lafleya, Froguros, Lizarias, Megaflash.
"Choose wisely" Mephisto said, Felix then look at the space beast, honestly he want them all since all of them were quite like strong, he finally choose, he decided to pick Grantella the scorpion like kaiju, stood up straight, and cover by blue armored skin, then he choose Galberos, three headed serpent that look like a hellbound, and finally Lefleya, a plant like monster.
All three space beast he choose then start to glow up and insert into the purple crystal, "Use them wisely, and a warning for you, do not failed me and do not break the crystal, or else our you had to pay the prise" Mephisto warn him, "Y-yes lord Mephisto, thank you for your humbleness" Felix said, "And now" Mephisto took the soul from the guard that Felix possessed, the guard's soul begging a mercy to him.
But he ignore the plead and Mephisto start to open his mouth which inside was a dark red smoke, the poor man soul drag closer and closer and soon with amount of force, he instant get inside there and Mephisto shut his mouth. Felix had watch what will happen, he then stare at Mephisto, "Failed me or that necklace broke, you will know" Mephisto warn him, "Yes Lord Mephisto" Felix said as he bowing to him.
"Now go create some chaos out there" Felix soon been sent back to mortal realm, he was still in Cadmus base and what more good to him, he got his physical form back, nothing make him happy than that, but then he look at the necklace and saw three space beast were waiting for his orders, something come into his mind, and he give his evil smile.
Wonder Woman was about to walk to library, only for her to see a staff doctor were running in the hallway, and then she saw a few more, this time with several guards, curious what actually happen, she follow them from behind, as she reach where they are going, she heard someone groan in pain inside the restrain room. She fly towards and closer to the window and saw Etrigan, Doctor Fate and Zatanna all were in pain.
Something is bother them all, Manhunter was inside to help Etrigan calm down, "Etrigan calm down, let me help you" he said, " The gates of Tatarus swings both ways" he said before he transform back into his human form named Jason Blood. But not for long, "The balance tips towards chaos" he said as his body were now half Etrigon half human, Manhunter had no other choice but had to restrain him on the table.
Manhunter then walk pass through the window where Wonder Woman was waiting, "What happen here?" she ask, "I don't know, suddenly all our member with magical power, whether you can see" Manhunter then show Dr. Fate and Zatanna who was in pain and had to be restrain as well. "They are in agony, what can we do?" Wonder Woman said.
"I'm researching, soon i learn something, i'll let you know" Manhunter said as he walk to search for the reason why, Zatanna finally stop groan and relax for a minutes, Wonder Woman place her hand on the glass shield, worrying about them. She then went to her room, to relax a bit, only to see someone hiding in the shadow and lay on his bed, it looks familiar, "Flash?!" Wonder Woman said if it was him.
"Not at all, it's the original speedster" the light turn on reveal to eb a man wearing a ancient Greek clothe, "Hey Diana, i let myself in" the man said, "Hermes, how may i serve the messenger of the gods" Wonder Woman bow with respect to him, Hermes then stood up from her bed, "Don't be so formal Diana, you're practically the member of the family, not that this is so social visit" he then fishing inside his bag where he carry many ancient scroll.
"I got something for you, it's pretty important, Zeus pay for overnight service, here it is" Hermes then give him the scroll, Diana took and scroll it up open and read it, "For a good time called code edemes" Hermes quickly took the scroll from her as he realize he give the wrong one. "I think i get a shot, it's a her cell number" he then took the right scroll and open it, "Here we go, by decree of Zeus, Father of Olympus".
"It is so ordered, Diana of Themyscira, will travel to Tatarus and set right back which had been disturb" Hermes read it, "He's telling to go to-" Wonder Woman words cut off, "Basically, Felix Faust is on loose again", Wonder Woman's face become angry when that name been mention, but she didn't believe it was him as he believe Faust is dead, he saw what happen, his body literally got turn into dust.
"No, not anymore, he had finally receive his physical form back, and he's now coming with the monster pet" Hermes said as the scroll show Felix who was riding on Galberos, and now went headed towards to Themyscira. Diana wide eye in shock seeing Felix, it can't be. And where did. Now she understood, Mephisto and Faust. Looks like they still had a game even after they failed to destroy the earth.
He then show the beast, it was Galberos. "GAARRRGHHHHH!!!" the three headed beast were shot several fire ball to the Amazonia, destroy several of the structure, without hold any minutes, she quickly rush towards to her shield, and fly to outside from her room, "Wow, i guess that was.....mess up" Hermes said. Wonder Woman then fly through several of the member, "Out of the way move" she said.

She then went to Hawkgirl's room, security override, user code 003, "User identity confirm, Wonder Woman" as the door open, she enter inside and search for Hawkgirl's mace, she found it hanging on the wall, she took. "Where did you think you're going with that?" Hawkgirl was leaning to the wall at the door entrance.
"I'll need it, Felix Faust is on the loose, this time he got help from space beast" Wonder Woman said serious, "Woah, woah, slow down, how is that-" she didn't finish her words as Wonder Woman spoke, "Possibly Mephisto still had his game on" Wonder Woman said, "Alright then what are we waiting for, let's go hunt down some space beast" Hawkgirl said.
Wonder Woman invisible jet were now flying towards to Themyscira, "So what's with the deal with Felix now?"

Lone: The Wanderer [Dropped Version (includes original draft of the rewrite's first volume)]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer? [Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] A/N: This story is in the middle of a rewrite, so please forgive any noticeable plot holes and wonky chapter numbers. I am working on it every day, so understanding would be greatly appreciated. The new cover art is a courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx. This novel is a participant in The Writer's Pledge

Reinventing the Struggle
The (sort of) original working title for this was "Reincarnated into a neo-feudal world of mecha knights, I will reinvent the panzerkampfwagen and mess up the social political order!" or something along those lines. And honestly that's a good enough synopsis given the nature of isekai titles. This story is unapologetic trash but at least it's the least cringe stuff I have written so far, so here it goes.
