While M-Day may have affected the entire world the few who didn't accept the conversion or just didn't accept the Demon Lord becoming a power formed the pocket resistances worldwide. This isn't exactly about them, however. This is about one who had his routine uprooted and the change of allies he experienced.
Unknown Base: 7:00 A.M.
Sheldon had his patterns but he didn't go about his usual routine. He actually couldn't sleep after being helped by someone who was likely an Anonymous supporter or just a fan of Guy Fawkes masks.
"Can't believe this! Leonard gets a date with one of those mamono and now everything I know flips upside down. A few familiar faces are around but that isn't saying much." Sheldon wouldn't let things set him back much but this was one of the few times he was bothered by a problem with no equation or theory to go with.
*Knock* *Knock* "Hey Cooper, mail for you. Anyway, when you had breakfast get your ass into the lab. Your research is one of the few things we need to get started." Vendetta slipped the letter under the door and left after saying his piece.
"*Sign* He's right, my research is something that I can still do something with. Science will help when I prove my brainpower over that of some demon queen from another dimension." He had his assured response but getting things done with his friends would've been nice. There was something odd about the mail though as the letter had a wax seal of a skull with a star behind it.
"A wax seal in this day and age? Certainly, one for the anachronisms whoever sent this." Sheldon muttered before looking over the letter:
"Dear Sheldon Cooper,
If you received this letter I should let you know first off I know who and where you are. Yes even as you sit there reading with a disbelieving expression I am aware of where and what you're doing," Preposterous this was probably some joke or something.
"And if I can break off your train of thought, no I'm not omnipotent but I'm damn close! Anyway, my name or moniker if you prefer is Lord Shadow! Leader of the SHADOW organization and enemy and rival of Subliminal and his group the EYE. A group that is affiliated with your world's church and religious leaders. Their a threat and anti-monster girl but despite what you'd think their goals don't match the image. Odd saying coming from me, but true as my group supports the free will and natural chaos of things. What is important is that I'm not an enemy, yes I support the Demon Lord and Kara Starr but I'm neutral in your case."
Someone who could possibly aid him then. True he's neutral, but he had to have a reason for sending this to him.
"This was delivered to your base by one of my Kunoichi because of the fact I find your willingness to stick to your guns even when the chips are down respectable. Even when your friends abandon you, your best friend now an incubus, your girlfriend a vamp, and your job essentially outsourced and projects dismantled you still resist. Now I'll warn you not to go against Kara or the Black Bard as she is known in another universe. She opposes Deruella and THAT is who you're going against. However, I am going to give a boon of sorts. You will get one favor from me. Doesn't sound much but you'll appreciate it,"
"A favor?! Just one? Not much use if it can't make this nightmare end faster." Sheldon grumbled looking a little peeved at the letter.
"Reason I don't offer more is that I find the rebellion is just going to be short-lived if what my Seers have foreseen is true. That's a minor one though, the main one is because the EYE who allied with the Church is a bigger threat than you think. They are all about LIGHT and making everything orderly, which sounds nice but no CHAOS or DARKNESS means a lot more than you think. The EYE wins and everyone will be following a monotone lifestyle and game all according to Subliminal. Sounds like a version of Eden for someone like your mother but no one would be acting on their desires! Everyone would just go the path set daily for them. Reminds me of one world where our tech affected the earth's future and our dolls and organizations became companies selling servants to the public. That's not important at the moment however,"
How could that not be entirely important? A group that is as bad as the Demon Lord is around and not even the Church can help if what this 'Shadow' says is true.
"What matters is to keep going and do your stuff. True not much will change but humans will gain more rights in the future and more with their actions and yours. Stay gold and may the odds be ever in your favor Mr. Cooper.
Regards,
Lord Shadow"
"So my actions won't do much but I help humanity. This just isn't my week." Sheldon muttered before putting the letter away and heading down to get breakfast.
Elsewhere in a base in New York
"Oh but Sheldon, you'll be doing a lot more and things will get interesting when things are aligned just right." Lord Shadow mused as he watched Sheldon read from one of the television screens in the shadow dimension he resides in. "Konoka I believe it'll soon be time to get the ball rolling. Get PROJECT: DESTROYER ready to begin if you could." Lord Shadow called out before a kunoichi appeared to bow before heading out once more. "Kara will understand, fortunately. Everything is going as the Seers foretold after all."

Pasadena, California
Location Unknown
After seeing Vendetta quietly back to Pittsburgh by Pandora Industries VTOL the woman rescue armor had returned to the abandoned Lab that was currently housing Sheldon Copper and wanted to check on him and let him see a friendly face.
However, she remembered what Vendetta, Bernadette, and Kevin Montez ordered during the vid-meeting...
If she wanted to check on him do like the character she now played and not as yourself or he'd act like he should be in charge putting himself and others at risk of capture...
It also didn't help that Biff Johnson and Vendetta were talking of shooting him if he acted like himself...
As she disengaged her armor and put on a dress suit and makeup before putting on glasses and a black wig and the choker locket that would modify her voice before greeting Sheldon
She would become the character that Vendetta and Johnson suggested...
================
Sheldon's Lab
==================
Sheldon was working quietly working on the blackboard on the equations that could reverse what happened to Leonard only to find himself stumped over solving the problem.
He always believed Science could answer any problem but magic and demons were beyond his normal element with the exception of D&D, Comics, and Movies plus the replicants provided by his host were quite interesting they made sure he got what he wanted, didn't fuss with him like Leonard, Howard or Raj ...
He was happy but felt he was missing something.
However, he heard the door open as a woman in a suit entered the lab escorted by a Cyclops and what looked like a Zombie wearing black ops gear. The Woman was tall and looked of Asian and English descent dressed in what an Agent from the Matrix Movies would wear right down to the glasses.
He also noticed her mannerisms as she approached and scanned the room for threats before looking toward him and spoke
"Greetings Mister Cooper, I'm Agent Smith the agent assigned to your security detail." She explained before looking around as she continued "My superiors wanted me to make sure the accommodations for your lab and the replicant assistance that was provided were exceptional to your needs.
"They're adequate but I was wondering if you could tell me about the whereabouts of my colleagues from CalTech I asked one of your people earlier about?" he asked before noticing the sour look on her face before she spoke.
"Mister Cooper you're forgetting your place again, my superiors get to ask the questions not the other way around." She said angrily about how Sheldon wanted to only know about the others. "The only thing I want to hear out of your mouth is here is the supply list and your findings on what was requested nothing more."
"Fine then but do you at least have something for me to watch porn 24/7 on cable isn't how I like spending my viewing time."
"On but that's what became of basic television after the invasion now Mr. Cooper. Since your slumber the mamono have spread their tentacles of influence everywhere in law enforcement, entertainment, even our governments now are control of our worlds we're fighting a losing battle and the mamono are slowly gaining a larger foothold on our world." Smith started making Sheldon flinch
"So why don't you do something about it instead of keeping me in an underground bunker?" Sheldon demanded, "We know I'm nothing more than a prisoner and captive resource if that man dressed as Fawkes is any indication."
"Really now is that what you think Sheldon Cooper I ask that you don't think about escaping from this facility as we both know you're currently doing even now, because even if you succeed and seek out your old friends or family you wouldn't last a day!" Smith stated before hitting were he lived "Let's start with your family in Texas you think your sister and that bible-thumping mother were safe from being converted into succubi on M-day?"
"What about Penny surely Leonard wouldn't have let her be endangered "
"Oh so now you ask about your former neighbor Penny, she was nearly killed in an assassination attempt disguised as a gas explosion but due to our aid, she's safely in protective custody. As for Mr. Hofstadter marriage, he forgotten all about her and didn't even flinch when it came to co-signing with his wife when they approved of your medically induced coma, and lets not even get started about Leonard Hofstadter's parents his father ended up being the treasured servant of a Vampire during the sleeper stage and personally ravaged your mother on their wedding day before his vampire wife turned her during their son's wedding day and now works close to his Inari wife as her political proxy in Washington D.C. and from what intelligence tells us she's made multiple arrangements to have your comatose form moved to Washington D.C. so whatever you did on her first visit to your apartment mad a strong impression if she wants you as her servant.
What about Howard, Bernadett, and Raj
Howard and Bernadette are now safely working in Japan as consultants to a Scientist code-named TsarCUBE in a moble working location. As for your Indian friend Raj's his fate is currently unknown since he returned to his homeland to check on his family whereabouts so face it the resistance is all that is protecting you from becoming a monster girl's personal sex slave whose only job is to perform coitus with his mistress." she explained to Shelldon who as bewildered by what was told to him as she walked toward the door before stopping "I'll have someone set you up with some Pre invasion movies and video game systems and computer access after the modifications are finished until then good day."
Then she left the room leaving Sheldon to himself and the replicants who wanted for his command.
"Well don't just stand there gawking get back to work!" he ordered before seeing a nod and continue with their duties.
====================
Hofstadter Residences
====================
Leonard Hofstadter was on the balcony of his mansion quietly drinking scotch a drink he wouldn't be able to handle before being turned into an Incubus by the Inari that is now his wife.
Suddenly he felt the loving embrace of his wife behind him as she asked "What are you thinking about beloved and can I alleviate you of it?"
"Nothing Aigiko I'm fine just thinking of how Sheldon is probably out there being forced to create things for the resistance now." he explained while keeping to himself how vindictive Sheldon Cooper could be from past experience. "Plus the fact that Amy should have just injected his IV with Death Cap essence while he was in a coma."
"I know honey but she was following her heart we never figured the Resistance was watching him." she explained to her lover before handing him an I-pad before asking " So Leonard how is Penny doing these days?"
"I've heard she gotten some TV roles ever since she volunteered for Bernadette genome therapy after that explosion in the old apartment," he said remembering what happened when the order of the eye planted a bomb in Sheldon's apartment "I hear she now has a role on ABC's Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. but other than that nothing more."
"What was her role again just so I know what to look for?" she said remembering how the explosion cost her the role of being an extra on N.C.I.S.
"She's better now and currently playing the character Viper or as she known in the series Madam Hydra."
"I know honey but you should contact Howard and let him and Bernadette know that Sheldon is awake."
"Not yet I want to see what he will do first."
"Then I'd hurry up with your findings because your mother has made an attempt to leave Washington and search for Sheldon herself and his mother and sister is liable to do the same."
"I guess you're right Dark Priest are temperamental especially when they are mothers and sisters ."
"Good now come inside so we can work on our conceiving our second kit."
