The Endbringer alarm was sounded off, signaling to all that the truce is on and for all hostilities to be called off. Leviathan is heading for Brockton Bay, all the caps hero or villain are needed to fight the water controlling endbringer. That meant even Horror Master and her minions showed up as well, that is causing lots of tension as they all waited.
Horror Master stood with all of her most powerful minions. The sisters, Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon, Daybreaker's daughters Daydream and Daymare. The Fright Knight and Desiree, leading the ghosts. Marceline and Princess Bubblegum leading the vampires and other creatures of the night.
The gods, Gwynevere, Kedesh-Nanaya, Lunatine Sakiess, Shiva Revilis, amd Bes.
The demon lords, Hunson Abadeer, Lucifer, Charlotte "Charlie" Morningstar, Morrigan Aensland who has fused with her sister Lilith, Lady Death, Aku, Gogandantess, Edward "Eddie" Riggs, Satan, Osamu Yureimoto, Loki, and The Red Guy.
Ridley brought with her a giant ray cannon and is plugging it into the city's power grid and having a bunch of her fellow minions and the heroes and villains with electrical power to help power it. She watch Neon Genesis Evangelion and figure that having a energy cannon powered by the entire eastern half of the USA would do something to the endbringer.
Legend walks up to Horror Master, being watched by her bodyguard Huntress.
"Hello, Horror Master," Legend greeted her.
"Legend what can, I do for you?" Horror Master asked.
"We like you to come to the tent so we can plan for the defense," Legend said.
"Don't worry, I have it all planned out I just need you and the others for crowd control," Horror Master said.
"What are you planning?" Legend ask.
"Kill the endbringer. I didn't bring all of my heavy hitters out for nothing," Horror Master said.
"No I mean afterwards? You have all taken over the city, but the robots you have patrolling are keeping crime down," Legend said he and the others are worried about what Horror Master has been doing but have little idea in how to handle her. If she is killed the minions under her control will no longer have anyone keeping them from doing what they like. And no one want to deal with horror villains and monsters running around doing what they want.
"Just making the city better as I'm living in it and I'm tried of it. Of no one doing anything about it, like the reason why there is no shipping anymore. When the local industry had collapsed, the Boat Graveyard was a staging ground for the irate dock workers. Shipping companies based in Brockton Bay trapped other boats in the harbor as a form of protest, to ensure they weren't walking away empty-handed. Police made arrests, but actually moving the ships out of the way required sailors, and the move had mobilized enough of them that clearing the upper areas of the docks of the ships became all but impossible. Things capped off with fights, gunfire and a deliberate sinking of a container ship by one of the protesters. Now the bay is clean of those wrecks and the metal and other useable items are being used to make more robots. Shipping has already restarted," Horror Master said.
"You're putting everyone on edge you're not like the other supervillains," Legend said.
"Who said anything of me being a supervillain?" Horror Master asked.
"You're not a supervillain? You did the whole villain song and then took out all the other gangs," Legend said.
"Let me make it clear, I'm not a supervillain who gets into fights with you superheroes. I'm a horror villain, completely different in how a horror villain acts. It's the reason why the 3 who caused me to trigger suffered such a horrific fate. After all when is it the last time the ones who cause a horror villain, to become a horror villain actually live?" Horror Master said. (1)
"You went too far," Legend said.
"Oh yes because it's fine for them to bully me for 3 years but when I do it to them. Suddenly people can't move fast enough to stop what I'm doing while completely ignoring the reason why I did it to them. Why is it people like you always side with the bullies? Why care about people who enjoy making others suffer?" Horror Master asked.
"Shadow Stalker would have been punished for her actions," Legend said.
"If someone at your work punches you and tries to kill you and you only defended yourself. It's you who will be arrested and lose your job while the one who attack you gets away with it as no one in power at your work cares about you. That's what it was for me for 3 years. So I made sure they suffered and died for what they did like any good horror villain. They became nothing more then useless meat sacks that just screamed, it's the reason why they were committed and died. Not to mention the school staff and the agents who allowed it to happen. I took the pound of flesh from all of them for letting it happen. Crippled and scarred for the rest of their lives, seeing how when Panacea healed that agent, I just sent Pennywise to cripple her even worst, took 3 times before they understood that if they're healed, they would get it even worst," Horror Master explains. (2)
"Lots of mistakes were made, we're more than willing to make it up to you," Legend said.
"It's 3 years too late, for me to trust people, in power or heroes. You either do the right thing or watch me handle it my way," Horror Master said.
"Your way isn't the right way," Legend said.
The warning siren sounded as Leviathan came into view.
"My way is wrong? Well let me show you, all of you that my way works," Horror Master said as she made a screen appear in the sky above the heroes and villains.
Horror Master teleported from where she was and teleported right in front of Leviathan. The ocean surface burst as Leviathan came out of the water…. being held in giant green arm like a plastic toy soldier in the hand of a adult. The arm lifted the struggling form of Leviathan into the air where a gigantic humanoid form with a squid-like head and dragon wings stood, towering above the ocean. The thing brought the endbringer to its mouth, stuffing the endbringer into its massive maw. And just like that, Leviathan was gone. (3)
The thing that ate a endbringer just vanish from sight. Leaving only Horror Master floating above the sea, all of which was shown on the screen she had created for all to watch. No one cheered, as they were all too horrified and stun, seeing what had done the deed. The screen focused on Horror Master who has a smug look on her face.
"My way works, it got the job done, deal with it," Horror Master said to everyone watching and puts on sunglasses as she did so.

Author's Notes -
1 - Taylor as Horror Master isn't a supervillain, she's a horror villain. So stop thinking of her as a supervillain who is after money or revenge and more like a horror villain who goes after the ones who wrong them and kills them or make them want to die.
2 - I hate it when it's the bully who is treated as the victim and everyone ignores that they're the ones who caused it to happen to them. Especially when the message given is to always tell someone about it, when the ones who could do something just lets it happens and only acts when it's the other way around.
And really why care for the bullies who caused Taylor in cannon to trigger and never had to face any real punishment for it? They're really just flat characters who are only there to cause things to happen and make Taylor suffer. Which in horror fiction which this story is, puts 'kill them' label on them.
3 - Taylor power lets her summon anything from any horror fiction which she can controls. That means she can summon cosmic level horrors and above, that she can order to take care of anyone she wants. Yes that means it's a story breaking power and she's using it to its full level with nothing holding her back from doing so.
