FOUR DESTROYER OF MONSTER SYSTEM

Episode 4: The Deception Begins

Scene 1: Dess's Request for Power

(Location: Laboratory, Midnight)

Under the dim light, Dess stands motionless. His face is calm, but his eyes burn with a strange determination. Professor David and the others are in front of him, waiting for his next words.

Dess finally speaks in a slow, deep voice, "I need a powerful airship. A technological masterpiece—something that will allow me to destroy the aliens."

The entire room falls silent. His request is unexpected. Until now, Dess had always spoken against humans, despising them. But suddenly, he wants to fight the aliens?

Tomo takes a step forward, narrowing his eyes. "Wait a minute, Dess. Why the sudden change? You always hated humans, but now you want to fight aliens?"

Grasper crosses his arms, suspicious. "Yeah, and what exactly are you planning?"

Dess turns his gaze toward them but doesn't respond immediately. He knows that telling the truth is dangerous. His true plan isn't to fight the aliens—it's to eliminate Cargo, the entity that created them.

But he can't let them know that.

Instead, he forces a smile and says, "I've realized my mistake. Cargo… isn't as bad as I thought. But the real threat? The aliens. We need to wipe them out before they destroy everything."

His words are confident, but something feels off.

Professor David steps forward, placing a hand on Dess's shoulder. "You've finally come to your senses. The aliens are indeed dangerous. I will help you."

Then, David's face turns serious. "But remember this, Dess—Cargo is neither our enemy nor our ally. You and your friends were born from Cargo's existence. If Cargo dies, your very essence might be affected."

Dess nods. "I understand, Professor." But in his mind, something else is brewing.

"I don't care about any of that. Cargo must die."

He then looks up at David again. "I have one more request. I need the 'Strength of Glove.'"

The moment those words leave his mouth, the atmosphere shifts.

Scene 2: The Strength of Glove's Dark Past

(Location: Laboratory, Secret Archive Room)

Professor David's face darkens. The name "Strength of Glove" is not something he expected to hear. He closes his eyes, as if reliving painful memories.

Grasper and Tomo exchange glances. Even Feto, who is usually silent, looks uneasy.

David finally speaks, his voice heavy. "The Strength of Glove… is not just a weapon, Dess. It's a cursed object. It was created long ago by a man who…" He stops, hesitant to continue.

Dess tilts his head slightly, feigning concern. "Who created it, Professor?"

David exhales, finally deciding to share the truth. "A long time ago, a genius scientist named Zander developed the glove. It was designed to harness infinite energy, but something went terribly wrong. The moment he used it, his mind was corrupted by its power. He lost all sense of morality and became obsessed with destruction."

He pauses, gripping his hands tightly. "In the end… he vanished. Some say he became something beyond human. Others say he joined forces with the aliens. But one thing is certain—no one who wears that glove remains the same."

Dess lowers his gaze, pretending to be deep in thought. But inside, he smirks.

"That means it's even more powerful than I expected."

Lifting his head, he speaks in a solemn tone, "I understand, Professor. I won't misuse it. I swear."

David looks into his eyes for a long moment before finally nodding. "Alright, Dess. If this is truly your path… I will find a way to get the Strength of Glove for you."

At that moment, Dess turns away from them and smirks—an evil smile hidden from their eyes.

Scene 3: The Airship Construction & David's Secret Mission

(Location: Secret Workshop, Underground Bunker)

With David's approval, the construction of the airship begins. It's a massive project—one that requires advanced alien technology.

David, however, knows that obtaining these parts won't be easy. He secretly ventures into alien-controlled territory, carefully stealing essential components.

During one such mission, he is caught by a high-ranking alien general named Zeron.

Zeron is tall, with glowing blue eyes and an aura of authority. His voice is deep and menacing. "David Johnson. What exactly do you think you're doing?"

David hesitates for a moment, then responds, "I am merely collecting research materials."

Zeron narrows his eyes. "Research? Or betrayal? You are taking technology from our empire. Tell me, David—what are you planning?"

David takes a deep breath, choosing his words carefully. "I am working to stop Cargo. You and I both know that Cargo is unpredictable. If it turns against you, even the aliens won't be safe."

Zeron remains silent, his expression unreadable. Then, he turns away. "Very well, human. But if I discover you are lying… I will ensure that your existence is erased."

David nods and quickly leaves, knowing that time is running out.

Scene 4: The Hidden Thought of Zedo

(Location: Laboratory, Nightfall)

As the airship nears completion, the team gathers to observe its progress. The ship is enormous, glowing with energy—a true technological marvel.

Standing at a distance, Zedo watches silently.

He listens as Dess confidently talks about the future—how they will fight the aliens, how they will change the world.

But inside Zedo's mind, a completely different thought is forming.

As he gazes at the distant sky, he notices something—a UFO hovering far away, almost hidden in the clouds.

His eyes narrow.

"I will become an alien."

The thought enters his mind, clear as day. But he does not speak it aloud.

Instead, he remains silent
