8. Red Means Stop

Complete story — includes the ending

Two villains wake up in a decrepit bathroom full of dead bodies, both chained to pipes. One of them learns that the other has been there for weeks and gone insane, who cannibalizes him like he did the dead men. The Guild and the O.S.I. stage a sting at VenTech Tower to catch Blue Morpho, where Watch, Ward, Gathers, and councilman Phineas Phage disguise themselves as the Ventures and H.E.L.P.eR.. Rusty's feared new arch, Red Death, "attacks." The Monarch and 21 convince Red Death's family to leave their home and call him, pretending to have kidnapped them. He storms the Morpho Cave, forcing The Monarch to explain his recent actions. Red Death expresses sympathy towards his determination and explains that he has to suppress his own urge to kill regularly, advising The Monarch to continue his quest. 21 reveals that he lost the nerve to kill the rest of the villains arching Rusty and that he locked them in the cave's bathroom, unaware that one had gone insane and killed the rest. Red Death agrees to waive his arching rights and not tell the Guild what he learned in exchange for getting to kill the man. Post-credits scene: Guild agent S-464 and O.S.I. agent Kimberly McManus, having fallen in love during the sting operation, agree to reconnect next time they see each other.
