The "Heroes vs. Villains: Marvel" RPG Season II

[JewishHobbit]

OOC: So by my figures the Sentinel Death Count is 168 plus the 1/3 of what was left to fight here taken out by Beast and Reed. So being that they did a third then the 168 is 2/3 of what was there. So over all the total Sentinel Death Count is 252.


Only 748 to go!!!! :D

[CorporalHicks]

Iceman looks around as he realizes that he is completly surrounded by sentinals.

"No one can stop Icezilla!! No one!" Iceman says as he grabs the sentinal's leg in front of him and spins it around hitting every sentinal that had surrounded him. He then freezes what is left of the battered and beaten sentinal in his hands, and shatters it in a thousand pieces.

Iceman looks behiind him to see X-Man shake the hands of Arcangel and the Human Torch."Looks like he finally came around again. I'll go see what they are up to." Iceman appraoches the three, still in his huge form, just as X-Man takes off and the other two decide to follow. He takes Arcangel and gently places him on his shoulder."Paulie wanna cracker? Sorry War, couldn't resist. Where are we up to now guys? It looks like we took care of most of the sentinals. The rest flew with mags."

"Job well done." As Iceman and Angel look around and see Colossus standing right behind them.
"The Professor monitored you guys fighting Sentinels and sent me to come and help you. But, from what I see now, you guys don't need help."
Colossus joins them as Iceman picks him up and places him on his other shoulder.

(sorry if this wasnt any good, it was my first time.)

[Tropico]

OOC: The New Warriors should have taken out some. By all accounts there should be a military presence in washington since Cyke had warned the government of the impednding attack minutes after the X-Men's arrival at the Mansion.

[Harlekin]

Sam flew right past Bobby's head, with some Sentinel parts under his arm "Ah'm gonna take this one home and frame it!" he said to the others "What are ya'all waitin' for? Let's go!" Cannonball didn't hesitate to destroy some more Sentinels along the way, as his death-count grew and grew "Ah'm ah reaching eigthy!"

Oops, I forgot Cannonball's total of 50. So that would take the count to 218. That being 2/3 of it would take the Sentinel Death Count to 327.

And as for the New Warriors and Military fighting I didn't count those because I have no idea how they're doing. We can just count them as other and maybe estimate them at around another 100. So with that in mind we'd be at 427.

Thus meaning only 573 to go :)

(this is as of the point when Harlekin took out the 50 Sentinels)

I figured that iceman fought even more sentinals between my posts. but it doesnt matter how many.20-25? it doesnt really matter, i suppose we will keep fighten em till we are tired of it. :xmen:

[DarkHellRider]

"Let's go find where Hobby is, he has a lot of explaining to do!"

"By the way, I love that firery skull!


"Really you dont think it's to over the top, I would love to style the flames but try to gel them, and you just make them bigger just makes them higher."

" i sure hope this hobgoblin is a good challange, i have not had a challange in a long time"

[Electro UK]

Max watched Ock walk off until he couldn't see him. He gave a light chuckle to himself. "Well Sandman it's been fun to see ya again. But I think I'm gonna make my exit too. I'll see ya around" He held out is hand and Sandman met it. As Max walked off he thought back against the last few hours of his life. They'd certainly been his most exciting.

He'd got revenge on a dangerous killer, fought against the Fantastic Four and even died. That was when his face lit up. Didn't Thanos say something before he tuned to this world? Something like, "I still have use for him."

As Max perched himself at a ledge on top of a nearby building, he thought about what Thanos had said. Suddenly the sky went grey and it began to rain. A brigh flash occured... and Electro had vanished.

***

Electro sat up. His head hurt like hell. He'd been out for a few hours. As he looked around, he noticed that he did not recognise the place he was in. Suddenly he could hear huge footsteps coming towards him.

"Welcome Max Dillon." It was Thanos.

"Thanos!" Max said in astonishment, "What am I doing here?"

"As you may recall I said I still have use for you. I require your assistance." Max was scarred out of his mind. He'd met Magneto once and thought he was scary? Now he was standing in front of what looked like a blue Hulk!

"What do you need me to do?" He asked nervously.

"Well Electro, as you know, I am a being of emmense power. But this does not mean my power can't be equalled. There is another being in this universe which matches my power. He is called Nafariqous (OOC: I made this guy up). Many times have we clashed, only to result in a stale mate everytime. We fight for he experiences the love of the same woman I experience love for... Death."

"I'm listening," Electro said a bit more confidently.

"Many a time has this beast treid to take my lady away from me, and I have decided, no more shall it happen. But since I cannot defeat him, we setteld at a game." Thanos smiled "A war game. Both of us have choosen 5 champions from our ends of the universe to battle each other. The winner will declare death for himself. Max Dillon, I have choosen you to be one of my champions."

Electro stairred in disbelief. The almighty Thanos had come up and asked him to battle some... aliens from the other side of the galaxy?

"Sorry Thanos," he said trying not to sound cocky, "but fighting aliens isn't my thing. Maybe you should look up the X-men."

Thanos made an evil grin "Who said you have a choice?" Electro gulped. He was right. There was no way to get home unless he helped out Thanos.

Max sighed, "I guess I'm all yours then."

"Good," Thanos boomed, "come with me then, I will show you to your battle armour and your team mates."

Electro and Thanos walked out of the room.

[Spider-Man9X17]

Johnny and Archangel watched as Nate flew away. It felt good to have him back on their side, but there was still a lot of work to be done. Most of the Sentinels had now made their way to the shoreline, and into civilian territroy. Hopefully, most of the people had been evacuated, but there were always those stragglers who wouldn't leave, or wanted to stay and watch some action.

"I think it's time to rejoin the others," Johnny said as Iceman approached. "Magneto still has more than enough Sentinels to do some pretty heavy damage, and the others are going to need our help now." The three made towards shore, with Johnny taking out a final 2 or 3 Sentinels still in the air before reaching the Blackbird.

"Oh, Johnny, I'm so glad you're OK," Sue rushed over and gave her brother a hug.

"I'm fine, sis. We're all going to be fine." He then leaned in closer and whispered something in her ear. "Mom and Dad say 'Hi'."

Sue was bewildered by the last statement, but there were no time for questions now.

"You four did an excellent job," Reed commended as Cannonball joined the group. "You decimated nearly a third of the Sentinels."

"You guys didn't do too shabby, either. But Mags still has more than enough firepower. This is far from over," The group walked to the front of the Blackbird as the first Sentinels began a ground assult.

"Half time is over, boys and girls," Johnny said, flaming back up. "See you at the post game celebration." He took off back into the fray.

[Midnight Ice]

"Glad you are here Colossus, we sure could use you if Juggernaught ever shows his face." Iceman says as he lowers Colossus and Arcangel off of him. "Warren, you might want to shield yourself with your wings."

"If you say so Bobby." Warren says as he wraped his wings around him, like he was asked.

"Here goes nothin."Iceman said as his whole giant body began to crack all over, until he shattered, with chunks of ice hitting Arcangel's metal wing's and Colossus's metal body, and all that was left was a normal sized-Iceman."Waoh, it actually worked! I come in travel size too! I told you I had a few tricks up my sleave."

*The three walk to the Blackbird*

[Batman]

OOC:Holy Hell....:eek:

YOU GUYS STARTED WITHOUT ME?!?!??:mad:


:(


:D


Dammit....I hate my computer.

Anyway,I wanna join in.

Wheres Sabretooth,and what should I post?

Plus....are there any Sentiniels left?

[Harlekin]

"Ah'll see you when Ah'm handing out autographs!" Cannonball said with excitement as he flew past Johnny "Sentinels, here we come!" With a vigor and adrenaline enough to give the average joe a heart attack, Cannonball resumed his attack on the Sentinels, albeit more precisely as he homed in vital parts, to make sure there wouldn't be any debris that civilians might get caught under.

"Eighty-two!"

[Spider-Man9X17]

OOC: Sabretooth hasn't shown up yet, and there are still about 560 or so Sentinels left, they just started a ground assualt. Johnny Storm is winning the bet with well over 115+ Sentinel kills (God, I love Nova Flames :D :p :ff: )

awww that sounds like fun. I wanted to join you guys with Deadpool but no DP until season 3 :(

[Spider-Man9X17]

Johnny created a blow torch with the flames from his hand as he melted through a small row of Sentinels

"One hundred twenty, twenty one, twenty two," the three robots fell into a massive heap, quickly being joined by a few more Sentinels, courtesy of Cannonball and Archangel.

"I'M STILL WINNING!" Johnny yelled up to the two, while simultaneously blowing the head of off a Sentinel standing behind Warren.

"ONE HUNDRED TWENTY THREE!" he called as he flew off towards another small group of robots.

[Batman]

Wolverine had stood by the sidelines long enough.

The Sentiniels were starting a ground assault,and this was the perfect chance for him to start.

He knew he wouldnt win the bet,seeing as how Flame-head had already taken out more than 115 Sentiniels,but at least he'd get some action outta this.

He leaped in front of one of the Sentiniels,mocking it.

"COME ON,IM RIGHT HERE!"

The Sentiniel picked him up.He was being crushed by its iron grip.But....he wasnt afraid.

"Not bad......But you should've stomped on me when ya had the chance,bub."

-Snikt-

Wolverine spun,shredding the Sentiniels hand in half with his claws.

As he fell,He shredded the outside of the Sentiniel,and made himself an entrance.

Climbing inside,He began spinning again,shredding every bit of circuits and gadgetry the Sentiniel had.

The Sentiniel was falling,and Wolverine knew it.Landing inside of the machines foot,He shredded his way out,right as The Sentiniel fell back.

Wolverine looked back as the Sentiniel fell atop five of the others,crushing them.It was like a huge version of Dominos.

"That was fun."

Wolverine ran towards the other Sentiniels.

OOC:

Wolverine's sliced and crushed Sentiniel count:6.:o

[swingerbone]

Reed made the necessary connections to relay the FF communications with those of the X-Men.

"You've all been handling yourselves well... but Magneto has taken a faction of Sentinels onward and we must make haste to intercept them. I suggest we finish off the remaining threat here and move on with no dallying."

Hank brought the Blackbird down in the vicinity of the trees along the shore.

They departed the Blackbird to make a survey of the situation. Before long they came up to A massive pile of Sentinel parts, probably at least 50-75 Sentinels worth. On top sat a beaming Ben Grimm. He was lighting a fresh cigar.

"I love da smell of busted robots in da mornin'"

OOC: Couldn't forget about ol' Ben in the melee. ;)

Ben's count: 75+ - cause that's all that dared make it to the shore.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Aw right," The Thing said, puffing his cigar as the Sentinels began advancing again. This is the moment he'd been waiting for.

"IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!!" he yelled as he charged the nearest robot. He rammed it shoulder first, and the Sentinel began to totter. Ben wrapped his rocky arms around the Sentinel'g leg, and using all his strength pulled it off balance. The huge robot crached to the ground, and Ben jumped on top, punching a hole through the chest and ripping out it's insides. As another Sentinel approached, The Thing ripped the head off of the downs robot, and laubched it upwards. The giant chunk of metal plowed through the other Sentinel, and it too fell.

"Hey BicHead, that's two more!! I got like 80!" Ben yelled up at The Human Torch, who was flying over head.

"One hundred thirty four," Johnny yelled back down, as he melted a hole in on of the Sentinel's heads. He disappeared inside for a moment, before the chest cavity of the robot exploded onto a huge fireball, and the Sentinel fell to the ground in dozens of pieces.

"Sorry, one hundred thirty five."

"Greedy little show off," Ben grumbled, as he went charging for another robot.

[swingerbone]

OOC: hehe Spider-man9X17 and I both thought about Thing and posted ;)

So we'll say my post comes a while after Spider-Man9x17's

[Harlekin]

"Ah'll take those if you don't mind!" Sam said as he barreled after Johnny, racing right into a punch from one of the Sentinels.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v124/Daimoah/Cannonball4.jpg

"Ya'all are gonna have to try and harder than that!" Sam yelled as he unleashed bio-kinetic blasts from his hands, thanks to the added energy of the Sentinel punch. To follow it up, he used the blaster on his arm to take out some of the smaller Sentinels.

"Eeny, Meany, Moh. Five, Four, Six. Sieben, Acht, Neun. Dix, Onze, Douze... .... ... Twenty! 102!"

[Batman]

Wolverine knew this had to end soon.

Picking another Sentiniel,He sliced into it,by the foot.

Jumping up,He kicked off the sides of it,and made his way up to the head,where there were circuits......ones he could use.

He tapped into the communicator of the BlackBird.

"Richards.....Hank....Whoever....Which wires do I cross so I can control this thing?I got an idea...."

Wolverine waited for the response.

OOC:Could someone,perhaps swingerbone,answer?

[swingerbone]

"Reed here... go ahead Wolverine... what did you have in mind?"

[Batman]

"I wanna hack into the weapons system.If I can,I can probably take out the remaining Sentiniels so we can advance from here.Any idea how to do that?"

OOC:Short...yes....but it'll get things moving.

[Spider-Man9X17]

Johnny smiled. Cannonball had just raised the bars. He liked that. More of a challenge than these lousy robots.

"You like soaking up energy, Sam?" Johnny asked. "Check this out!"

Johnny concentrated, pulling all of the fire to himself that had ignited from fallen Sentinels and flattened cars. The flames began to swirl and form around him as Johnny heated them. A group of about a dozen or so Sentinels, the last in this area as far as Johnny could tell, began descending on him. Johnny waited until they were close enough, and then expelled the flames in a viscious wall that burst out, consuming all of the robots. They sputtered for a second, large chunks are armor and circuitry melting away, before collapsing into almost a perfect circle on the ground below.

"I think that's," Johnny pretended to count on his fingers as he landed, "one hundred forty seven."

Sam and Ben looked at Johnny dumbstruck.

"Iceman isn't the only one with a few new tricks." The group joined Reed, Sue, and Beast. "I think we're good, here. We gotta go help the others and wrap things up here. Magneto's gotta be getting close to D.C., and Nate won't have a chance by himself."

"I believe Wolverine is taking care of some clean up as we speak," Reed answered.

Johnny then turned to the rest of the waiting heroes. "You guys wanna pay me now, or can I expect some sort of easy payment plan?"

OOC: I assume Magneto went on to D.C.?

[swingerbone]

"Controlling the Sentinel... well there should be masses of wires connecting to a large shielded box. That box is the processor, where all the commands are interpreted as they are reduced to billions and trillions if floating point operations using binary multiplication and addition. These calculations, through the silicon and wires form various logic gates which build up what we call memory for computers.

"Reed, darling... you're babbling again."

"Oh... sorry... right... If I am current on the Schematics I last studied then there should be a bundles on the left and right sides going down: red, blue, green, yellow, orange, and black. Whatever you do do not touch the black bundle. Self-Destruct mechanisms are controlled there. Take the red bundle from the left side and the blue bundle from the right and switch them."

"Right... then what?"

"That should open a panel to your right that contains emergency manula override and control. It should look very much like one of those gaming systems the kids play with."

"and the weapons?"

"Weapons systems should be controlled by a line of buttons along the left of the control box. I imagine they are clearly marked to avoid confusion."

[Nightwing.]

As Wolverine stood around waiting for a response from Reed he didnt notice the three sentinels walking up to him. Gambit acted quickly as they released a wave of blasts at Logan. Gambit launched himself across the ground and dragged Wolverine out of the way of the attack. He then launched his own wave of attack and connected the sentinels in the chest with a royal flush. Their circuits exploded out and fell around the ground.

Gambit " you better hurry up and put your idea into practice Logan.i aint savin your hide all day. Once you finished here i want you to get me close to Magneto. I got a few scores to settle. OK?"

Gambit waited for Wolverine to make his move.

OOC:can i take out Magneto please????

[Nightwing.]

OOC:sorry mine was abit out of context.imagine i saved wolverine after hed recieved the message

[Electro UK]

Electro and Thanos entered a room. It looked like an armoury of some sort. High tech laser weapons etc. It made Max gasp just thinking about all the mayhem he could cause with this stuff.

"Electro, allow me to introduce you to your team. This is Crusher Creel a.k.a The Absorbing Man. He can turn himself into anything he touches. Also he has an impressive strength level." The Absorbing Man gave Max a grim nod. No doubt he was here against his will to as were probably the others. Max had heard about Creel on the news. He'd proved a match for the mighty Hulk, but lacked in brain power.

Thanos walked on and Max followed "This young fellow goes by the name of Toxin. You may be familiar with his relatives Venom and Carnage. He was tough to recruit. He is indeed loyal to what he believes is right, but he understands if he wants to live, he'll help us out." Electro hadn't heard of this new symboite, but he'd met Venom. If this guy was like him, he wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.

Thanos turned left, "Here we have The Lizard. A strong foe. Strong skin and brains makes him very dangerous." Max had met the Lizard breifly once. He was a smart guy but nothing he couldn't handle.

"And here is the final member, one called Mysterio." Finally someone Max knew well. He held out his hand

"Hey Beck, long time no see." Quinten Beck met Electro's hand.

"Indeed Electro."

"I see you two know each other. Good," thanos boomed, "Come Electro, I will show you to you armour.

Max followed Thanos to the corner of the room where a grey chest plate was hanging. Thanos handed it to him and Max suited up. It would'nt protect him much but it was better than nothing.

Thanos then gathered the group round a table where he began to talk.

"Welcome my team of warriors. Today you shall fight your enemy and gain a victory. But first I think it is important for you to know your enemy. The first in the opposing team is a man named Fury. (OOC: Cheap MGS3 rip off :up: ) He can shoot the hotest fires from his hands, be careful of him. The second is named Nightvision. Expert marks manship. Aim is almost perfect and he can see very well in the dark. Thirdly is Chain Weilder. Beware he holds a mighty chain that can rip you in two with the slightest effort. Next is Hit-man. The power to regenerate ammo. He is an exceptional gun man. Finally is a girl called 2 shades. She can dive into peoples minds to find there weakness's and change them into her strengths as she transfroms into a person that became involved with that particular weakness. That is your team men."

The next 5 minutes were quiet as the team sat and thought about their enemys. Electro scanned the faces around the room. He couldn't see most of them. They were either behind glass domes or Lizard faces. Suddenly a wall sprang open to reveal land.

Thanos stood up "It is time. Go, if you fail me, I shall crush you all."

Everyone stepped onto the ground and the wall sprang back up. Max looked around to scan the area. They seemed to be in a dessert area. Up ahead were some mountains.

"Right team," he said, "let's move out." This made Max feel like he was in charge. He liked that.

After about 20 minutes of walking, the team came to a rocky area. They had become much closer to the mountains now. Max raised his hand to signal a stop. It was quiet... too quiet.

BANG! A bullet streamed out of no where barely missing Max's foot. "Dive!" He shouted and everyone jumped behind the cover of the rocks. "Hit-man" Max thought to himself.

[swingerbone]

OOC: have to go to class now.. back in about 2 hours... so Spider-Man9X17 bunny the Nerd if you need tech advice... hope you loved my longwinded diatribe on computers... I was a EE for two years... thank goodness i'm out of that now!

[Batman]

Wolverine didnt exactly know what the hell Reed was talking about half of the time,but somehow.....he managed to do everything Reed told him to.

Pushing the controls,He hoped he would get this right.

There were only four Sentiniels left,and Johnny had taken out the other dozen or so that were appoching.

Pushing a button,Wolverine looked outside the window,or the Sentiniels eye,to see what he did.

As he did,Gambit appeared out of nowhere,and pushed him out of the way of something.

He looked up and saw that Sentiniels shot at the location of where Logan and Gambit were.

"You better hurry up and put your idea into practice Logan.i aint savin your hide all day. Once you finished here i want you to get me close to Magneto. I got a few scores to settle. OK?"


Wolverine then noticed the damage of the shot.They had pretty much took out half of the controls.

"DAMMIT..."

But......then The Sentiniel began locking targets with the four other Sentiniels,and with a burst of energy,it fired beams from its huge hand.

It had worked.

The other Sentiniels were blown to bits,as Wolverine and Gambit jumped out of the Sentiniel.

"TAKE THEM ALL OUT!!"

Gambit took out his cards,and attacked the remaining Sentiniels.

After about two minutes,There were no Sentiniels left.

They had won.....so far.


Wolverine and Gambit headed back to the BlackBird.

[Batman]

OOC:Wolverine Sentiniel count:.......10.:(

[Harlekin]

"Way to go Logan!" Sam exclaimed as he saw Wolverine using the Sentinel to take out the remaining ones. In the meantime, Sam had filled his own quota by taking out some small ones that had missed Johnny's burst of flames, with only a ten Sentinel difference between him and Johnny. "It was impressive Johnny, but Ah'm only ten Sentinels behind, and last Ah checked, Magneto and Sabes was still ridin' two. Whatta ya say we up the stakes and make those the all or nuthin'?" Sam said extending his hand.

[Nightwing.]

Gambit waited in the blackbird to be taken to Eric.he was ready.he glanced over at wolverine to get some kind of silent sign from him that he was still with him on the attack.

"Hey Logan. Gambit needs you on this one.you still with me?"

[Spider-Man9X17]

OOC: I think Magneto has more than two, doesn't he. I thought the ones we fought were thrown out as a diversion, orchestrated by X-Man to give Magneto a little bit of a head start. If I'm not mistaken, Mags still has a group bigger than what we just fought.

[Harlekin]

OOC: A bigger group? That'd be even be better, because that money is mine! Although I could have sworn he only had the Sentinels left for his brotherhood, and with Juggy 'missing', and X-Man on the side of Angels, that leaves Sabes and Mags. So I figured one or two, heck, maybe ten.

[Spider-Man9X17]

*Nate noticed a couple of objects flying out of the blackbird in the distance. he couldn't make out what it was, but he had a feeling.*

~Magneto, keep moving foward. I'll hang at the back of the pack just incase and follow.~

*Nate throws up a shield around himself and his nearest sentinels.*

Here's what Priest posted at the beginning of the fight. I thought that just meant he took a small contingent at the end of the pack, and Magneto took off with the rest.

[Harlekin]

OOC: Than prepare to lose a bet. :p

[Midnight Ice]

OOC:can i take out Magneto please????
OOC:I doubt it. The person who plays him is Batnkevlar, the mod of this RPG. I dont think hed take too kindly to Magneto being killed. :xmen:

IC: The Blackbird takes off towards Magneto.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"You may only be down ten now, Guthrie, but I still have a Nova or two to go yet," Johnny smirked as he entered the Blackbird. "Reed, get the commlink up. I got a call to make."

-

"The attack seems to be winding down. The Sentinels are dropping like flies," Crystal watched the waning moments of the battle.

Suddenly, a buzzer went off on the control board.

"What's that?" Frankie asked

"Incoming transmission," Crystal hit the switch and the comm filled with static as the transmission came through.

"Any....there....Cry....Fr...kie."

"Who is that?"

Crystal adjusted the frequency, and the message finally came through.

"Anyone? C'mon, it's Johnny. Come in."

Frankie rushed to the observation panel.

"Johnny! Honey! Oh thank God you're OK. Johnny, we were so worried, we saw you..."

"I know, baby doll, but it's ok now. Everything's going to be fine. New York is secure, and were getting ready to go after Magneto. I just wanted to check in and let you know I'm fine."

"I love you, Johnny. You be careful, and show 'em who there messin' with."

"I will, sweetie. See you in a little bit."

"Johnny, it's Crystal. You give 'em Hell, Johnny."

"Will do. Johnny Storm, over and out."

-

Johnny put down the radio and turned to the group asembled on the Blackbird.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe it's time to rock and roll."

[Harlekin]

"Stop stealing my lines." Sam said as he took his seat again "Pssh, only ten to go." He whispered to himself. Time to take off the kid gloves and starting packing the punches that count.

[MST3K 4ever]

Bullseye was down in one knee. He was looking down at the ground, only vaguely aware of Daredevil talking to him. He saw a trickle of blood splatter on the floor, which grew into a slow, steady flow. The blow to his head with the billyclub had opened up a nasty gash on his forehead.

With a great effort, he stood up, raising his head to stare down Daredevil. His face was now a crimson mask, completely covered in blood. Through all the flowing blood, the whites of his eyes shined with a maniacal brightness even greater than before. He spat a wad of blood on the floor, before finally replying to Daredevil.

"Well, Devil, I'm up. I'm still standing! So, you gonna begin my beating now, huh?"

With a sudden movement, Bullseye slapped Daredevil across the face. A condescending ******-slap, meant more to piss Daredevil off then seriously hurt him.

"Come on, you prick, I'm waiting..."

Bullseye swiveled forward on his feet, landing a crushing headbutt right on Daredevil's nose, flooring him. The impact of the shot was so powerful that Bullseye was sent rocking back by it, landing flat on his ass. Bullseye rolled round onto his hands and knees and began literally crawling towards Daredevil.

"You're not gonna beat me, a$$hole. You're gonna have to kill me!"

Daredevil had laways heard his father talk about what it felt like when you got your nose broken. It didn't take long for him to realize that Bullseye's head-butt had done just that. The impact caused him to stagger back and finally collapse to the floor. He could taste the blood in his throat and it took an effort just to roll over to his stomach.

He could hear Bullseye crawling towards and all Daredevil could do was lay there until he heard Bullseye tell him that he would have to kill him. Right now my death would be a far better option than living but no way am I going to die at Bullseye's hands. No way, I'd rather the Owl get me than this clown.

He willed himself to stand and said, "Kill you...no way...you're not getting out of this that easily." And with that he flipped and landed next to Bullseye . He then kicked Bullseye in the side over and over until he felt two of his ribs snap. Great I hope that something because now my foot is killing me. Not to mention I am going to have a tough time explaining to Foggy what happened to me...just tell him I fell down a flight of stairs....a lot of them.

[Sparta*]

OOC: Magneto still has about half of the sentinels or more with him. The flyers tried to divert a portion of the main group of sentinels and destroy them, and thats what we did (including the few stragglers that made it to the main land) but the rest are with Mags and Sabretooth still. So lets fly over to where Mags is going and start the ass kicking!

*Archangel, Cannonball, The Human Torch, Wolverine, Gambit, and the Thing finished of the remaining sentinels that managed to make it to the shore. Cannonball's and the Human Torch's sentinel count was looking pretty good. Warren knew that he had to pick up the pace if he wanted to catch up...Magneto still has over half the sentinels with him so he wasn't worried...just anxious to pick up the fighting. Archangel was amazed at how powerful his comrades were...When they all boarded the blackbird and were getting ready to take off, Archangel looked around at the heroes on board. Beast and Mr.Fantastic were talking some technical mumbo jumbo that he couldn't understand and the invsible woman was with them...his attention strayed to Cannonball. He was the most surprised by Sam Guthrie. Here is this small town farm boy, who by all means should be dusting crops but is here....fighting for what he believes in...and doing a damn good job at that. The boy had power...Archangel knew it...It was going to be interesting to see exactly how much power, in the battle ahead. Johny Storm, what a guy. He has a family now...a wife...but he still doesn't hesitate for a second when he is needed in battle. His wife will be proud. Johnny reminded me of Iceman.....so much power inside just waiting to be unleashed...That Nova blast was something else, and he had pity on any sentinel that got in Johnny's way. Wolverine and Gambit, they were making quite the team out there..........which surprises me, Wolverine doesn't usually take kindly to help. I did see Gambit save his skin though...that was surprising...and Iceman....I look over and hes just regular Bobby Drake, two seconds later hes a giant ice sentinel! He's definatley learned a new trick or two since i've seen him last...his power seems limitless...and I'm excited to see what tricks he has up his sleeve when we fight the remaining sentinels...one thing is certain though, I'm glad hes on my side*

"I wonder what Nate is doing right now..." Archangel thought to himself... "He left in a real hurry and seemed determined to accomplish something...I hope he doesn't try and take on Magneto alone"

OOC: Did some of the heroes leave to intercept Magneto? Like Cyclops and stuff??

Max flinched as bullets sprayed down on his team who were covering themselves behind the rocks. He need to do something fast. Then it hit him, being the only one with a shot good enough to hit Hit-man, he was going to have to take him out. He turned to face Mysterio at a nearby rock.

He called out "Beck create and ilussion of me over there!" he pointed to a position far away from them. Mysetrio did as he was told and a fake Electro appeared. Max poked his head out just in time to see a man hiding in the bushes suddenly pull his gun to the other side, aiming at the illusion. "Gotcha" He whispered to himself as he held out his hand and shot out at Hit-man. There was a cry of pain as a limp body fell out of a mountain. There was a dull thud.

Electro stood up as the illusion faded. "Come on people we've got to keep on going."

After about 30 minutes walking, they found themselves surrounded by mountains. As they came to the center, they all jumped as they heard a man shout out "I gotta admit, I didn't think you'd make it past Hit-man." A burst of fire was released into the air "But you won't make it past me" Came the voice as a man jumped down opening bursts of fire on them.

[SuperFerret]

OOC: Doe's anyone mind if I have Beast be in the Blackbird?

[swingerbone]

OOC: Nope... I kinda tried to keep him there with Reed... so that should work.

[Keyser Soze]

OOC: I know I'm nitpicking, but Bullseye (at least in RPG continuity) has an adamantium skeleton, meaning his bones can't be broken. However, no need to edit. I'll just make a couple of bones in my ribcage dislocated instead of broken.


Bullseye let out a scream of pain as he felt two bones in his ribcage snap out of place. he coughed up a thick, frothy wad of blood, then rolled onto his back. He'd broken most of his ribs back when Daredevil dropped him off that building. Having broken or disloacted bones was bad enough, but when its your ribcage, the bones start pressing into your lungs, impeding your breathing. It just takes the wind right outta you.

So, here he was, lying on his back, feeling like he was choking to death. Maybe he should just give up. How could he keep on going, with all his injuries? But the one thing that was stopping him from quitting was pure hatred. Bullseye didn't really hate a lot of people. He killed plenty, yes, but it was rarely personal. But God, did he hate Daredevil. And there was no way in hell that he was going to lose to him. Not again.

With a great effort, Bullseye willed himself into action. Still lying on his back, he kicked Daredevil square in the nuts. Then, in quick succesion, he kicked him in the gut, chest and chin. With a deep, laboured breath, Bullseye flipped back up onto his feet and floored Daredevil with a roundhouse kick. Then he collapsed back onto the floor himself.

No, this was no good. He couldn't fight with two ribs pressing into his lungs. He would have to do what he did when he dislocated his shoulder. He scrambled towards Daredevil, who was still on the floor. He grabbed onto his shoulder for leverage, making sure he had a firm grip. He leaned forward and whispered in the ear of his nemesis:

"This is gonna hurt me a lot more than its gonna hurt you."

Having said that, Bullseye flung himself backward with all the force he could muster, twisting to a sideways angle as he fell. With his hand pinned under the grounded Daredevil, Bullseye's body stretched in a sudden jerk. The force of the movement snapped Bullseye's ribs back into place.

But it hurt like hell. Bullseye let out an almost animalistic wail of pain, before wearily collapsing back on top of Daredevil. He passed out for a brief moment. But he suddenly snapped awake when he realised that he was on top of Daredevil. Smiling deviously, he drew out his favourite weapon, his sai. It was time to finish this, and if there was any weapon he wanted to finish the Devil with, it was his sai.

"Now, this is gonna hurt YOU a lot more than it's gonna hurt ME..."

[Electro UK]

Max gasped in terror as Fury came flying down to them, shooting flames. He thought this was it. He was going to go and meet Mia. He put his arms in front of his face and waited for his fiery peril. But it never came. Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the absorbing man standing in front of them all protecting the flames.

"Fire doesn't effect rock creep!" he shouted slamming his fist into Fury as he neared him. He landed with a thud and got up slowly. He looked like hell after such a devistating blow but nether the less he continued firing at them.

"Strange" Max thought he should know that he has no chance. "Unless he's serving as... a distraction!" Max shouted out in panic as he formed a shield behind them. A knife bounced off the wall and landed on the floor.

Max shot up a look just in time to see a foot dissapear from the edge of the mountain. Nightvision. "Toxin you're with me!" he shouted, grabbing the symbiote. "Crusher, lift please" Absorbing Man grabbed Max and Toxin and flug them into the air. Both landed where Nightvision had thrown the knife. "Come on!" He shouted to Toxin.

They ran after their target until they came to a dead end. Trapped.

"Hello there." Came a voice from behind. Max and Toxin span round to see a man pointing two guns at them. "And goodbye" He said with a smile. He pulled the triggers, but Toxin was already in mid air, catching both of them in his suit and then landing on him. He began tearing away at him until Nightvision was lifeless. Toxin had just saved Electro's life.

They headed back to the top of the mountain to see a knocked out Fury at the bottom. Max gave Crusher the thumbs up as they made they're way back down the mountain.

The Punisher had been avoiding the Kingpin's men all day, but they were amateurs, from gang bangers to legitamite gangsters, they for the most part lacked Superpowers.

However, The Hobgoblin's subordinates were far and away superior technologically. Within a few hours they had located him, but now, they were more interested in awaiting appropriate reinforcements.

The Punisher talked tough, but he wouldn't kill innocents, he wouldn't even hurt them. Whatever he had told Vanessa, he didn't mean, and would very likely let her go before risking any "damage" to come to her.

That said. They would try nothing until Hobgoblin himself, and the Rhino arrived. They would make short work of the crazed gunman before them.

Speedball kept watch of the TV transmission. There was something very disturbing about the Sentinels. Everyone learned quite a bit of how these monstrosities worked after Onslaught and even though Robbie wasn't a rocket scientist he knew things were wrong. Too many of them were falling too fast. They had gone to Genosha and saw the devastation wrought by the machines there; why didn't they do the same here? Sentinels adapted to their prey/attackers, even if they weren't mutants; it was mind boggling that the whole flyer group made it.

"Something's wrong. REALLY wrong. I can feel it in my bubbles."

The Sentinels had already moved away from New York, the news started showing replays from the battle as the only shots they had now were of the Sentinels flying high over head. Speedball started jumping higher and higher boosting himself with some building until he was on one of the highest vantage points. He kept a shar lookout for the coming invaders.

OOC: As in my post waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back, Speedball's posted in Washington. I don't know if Cyke is with him. I had assumed that when it was posted that the Blackbird had disembarked the ground crew, it was in DC and then went on to NY to drop off the flyers.

[Sparta*]

OOC: ohhh I see. I thought everyone was dropped of on the coast, and the flyers took to the skies to thin the number of sentinels that were going to reach the coast and fight with the mutants waiting there hahaha so we all have to fly to D.C. now then. Where is Magneto and Juggs right now. I thought juggs started digging where the flyers were fighting...I guess hes got a pretty long dig ahead of him haha

[RoseRedStrauss]

Juggs is wehre juggs should be. I'm just waiting for Bats.

OOC: Yeeeees, we all love Jugs right where they are.:o:D

[CorporalHicks]

"Glad you are here Colossus, we sure could use you if Juggernaught ever shows his face." Iceman says as he lowers Colossus and Arcangel off of him. "Warren, you might want to shield yourself with your wings."

"If you say so Bobby." Warren says as he wraped his wings around him, like he was asked.

"Here goes nothin."Iceman said as his whole giant body began to crack all over, until he shattered, with chunks of ice hitting Arcangel's metal wing's and Colossus's metal body, and all that was left was a normal sized-Iceman."Waoh, it actually worked! I come in travel size too! I told you I had a few tricks up my sleave."

*The three walk to the Blackbird*

"Now let's see what this piece of junk can do. It looks like it's taken a beating from the sentinels." The three get in thier seats with Colossus piloting the ship. They take off in search for the Brotherhood. "Okay guys, here's the plan, I'll do my best to subdue Juggernaut, Iceman, You don't have metal on you, so make sure you take Magneto out, before he takes me out. Angel, you can have whatever's left over, whether it be Sabretooth, Toad, or both of them. We must succeed."
They all comprehend their assignments and put their game faces come. Iceman points out that the FF were apart of this too, so Colossus stopped the jet for them to board.

[Spider-Man9X17]

New York began to fade into the background as the BlackBird streaked for Washington, D.C. There was little chance now the heroes would arrive before Magneto, but they still had to hurry. Every second he had unopposed just made their job a whole lot harder. Johnny looked around the jet. Everyone was still focused on the goal, but he could sense them relaxing more, more confident. They had just won a major victory, and deserved to be proud. He himself was a lot more confident, but near death experiences probably had that effect. Plus, they had beings with them, guiding them and guarduing them, more powerful than Magneto could ever hope to be, no matter how many Sentinels he had, or how big the Brotherhood was.

"Johnny, can I talk to you for a second?" Sue asked, kneeling beside his seat.

"Yeah, sure," Johnny unbuckled his harness, and the two waled to the back of the Blackbird, out of earshot.

"Johnny, what happened in New York."

"A second chance." Johnny paused, thinking of the best way to start. "We've been through a lot in the past year as you know. I've seen a lot of things that I never even imagined before, and they make you ask questions. I finally...I finally got the girl of my dreams back, and then I see Peter Parker, how he lost his wife, and what it did to him. Simply put, I lost my confidence, and I lost my will. I didn't want to do this anymore, at least I thought I didn't. So I wasn't trying. I didn't know what I was doing, but subconsciously, I was shutting down, and it was about to cost us all."

Johnny took a deep breath and continued.

"I got a wake up call down there, Sue. The demons tearing me apart, the Johnny Storm that was ready to walk away, he died under the water. I went...I went back to Heaven. I saw Mom and Dad, I saw God. I remembered who I was was, and I saw what I had to do. This is our time, Sue. The past few years, this battle, whatever is comign down the road, this is why we were put here. I lost sight of the goal, and I just need a little detour to get turned around."

Sue was speechless. She gazed at Johnny, unable to speak. She finally moved forward an dheld him in a tight embrace.

"Johnny, why didn't you tell us this. We're always here for you, you know that."

"I don't think this was something I could talk to anyone about. This was a lto bigger than any of us. But everything's okay now, I promise. It's time to focus on what we have to do next. The future of the U.S., and millions of innocent lives, rest in our hands" The two parted, making their way back to their seats.

"This is one of those stories that you get to sit down and tell your grandkids years from now. This is what we live for, this is what we bleed for," Johnny was now addressing the whole jet. "This is what puts your name down among the greats, so years from now, when your dead and gone, your name still brings a smile to the face of any one who heres it, this is when you step up and show you're for real, that you have what it takes. This is a time that when you can't go on anymore, you've lost that last little bit of drive, that last drop of blood, but somehow you push forward, you fight on. And when it's all said and done, when the smoke clears and the dust settles, when the last fire has gone out and the air goes silent, you're still standing with you're head held high, with pride running through your body and victory in your eyes. This is it. THIS IS OUR TIME!"

The heroes erupted into cheers as Johnny finished. Magneto may have his Sentinels, but there was something more powerful aboard the Blackbird. Pride, honor, love,friendship, and heart.

Oops, I forgot Cannonball's total of 50. So that would take the count to 218. That being 2/3 of it would take the Sentinel Death Count to 327.

And as for the New Warriors and Military fighting I didn't count those because I have no idea how they're doing. We can just count them as other and maybe estimate them at around another 100. So with that in mind we'd be at 427.

Thus meaning only 573 to go :)

(this is as of the point when Harlekin took out the 50 Sentinels)
OOC: We actually shouldn't be counting them seeing as NPC shouldn't be fighting unless they are fighting a player character. It would be like me saying 'and then Apacolypse shows up and kills everyone except for me. We go and have cocktails.'

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Well now, what is this?" Reed and Hank were monitoring Magneto's progess at the Blackbird's computers. His course changed drastically, and he headed back inland.

"What's he doing?" Johnny asked, joining the two brainiacs.

"He's changing the gameplan, as it were. D.C. was never his true target it seems, merely another diversion."

"So where's he going?"

Beast punched some calculations into the Blackbird's computer, and a new map came up on the screen, charting a possible course.

"It seems the new trajectory, when extended out into a line, would pass right over Los Angeles."

"He's going to L.A. Why?"

"I don't know, but perhaps we should find out."

The Blackbird began it's turn as well, now jetting across the sky towards the City of Angels. As it did, Johnny got on the commlink.

"Nate, come in, it's Johnny. We got a little situation here. Magneto is headed for L.A., not D.C. I reapeat, he's going to L.A. Do you copy?"

OOC: We actually shouldn't be counting them seeing as NPC shouldn't be fighting unless they are fighting a player character. It would be like me saying 'and then Apacolypse shows up and kills everyone except for me. We go and have cocktails.'

OOC: NPC's destroying NPC's as a no-no? Really? Ok, whatever. It's your RPG. If people can charge an earpiece with the Cytorakk ruby and talk to someone else with a specially made earpiece...I don't see how the New Warriors destroying a dozen Sentinels would be that big a deal. But, as I said, no biggie.

Please disregard my post about the New Warriors assisting.

IC:

Peter Parker walked away from the alley where he had dumped the Spider-man costume. He wouldn't need it anymore. Peter Parker had finally beaten Spider-man.

Suddenly, a tingling sensation!

Peter Parker, out of instinct, leapt out of the way of the oncoming car, and back into the alley. His hands and feet instinctively clung to the wall, and he landed right above the abandonded costume.

"You see Parker, you can't beat me. I'm stronger then you'll ever be." Spider-man said to Peter Parker.

"No Spider, you aren't. You wouldn't even be alive if it weren't for me!" Parker responded in his mind.

"Come on Parker, you know that's not true. You know I'm stronger then you!"

"No, Spider, you tried to kill me before. And you failed. What makes you think you'll win again?" Parker asked of the voice inside his head. He remembered who had helped him when he had been ready to live as Spider-man and only Spider-man. Daredevil.

Peter Parker reached for the costume and put it on. As he did, Spider-man took control once again.

"Parker, you're turning my life into a super hero version of Jekl and Hyde." Spider-man said, spitting at the word Parker.

"Maybe you're right though. Maybe the devil could help me get rid of you..." Spider-man said and swung off...

OOC: I know I'm nitpicking, but Bullseye (at least in RPG continuity) has an adamantium skeleton, meaning his bones can't be broken. However, no need to edit. I'll just make a couple of bones in my ribcage dislocated instead of broken.

It was time to finish this, and if there was any weapon he wanted to finish the Devil with, it was his sai.

"Now, this is gonna hurt YOU a lot more than it's gonna hurt ME..."

OOC: Aww crap that's right...my bad. Let this be a lesson to one and all...do not try to RPG right after you wake up from a nap.

IC

The only thing that was keeping Daredevil awake was the intense pain he was feeling after getting kicked in the nuts, the gut, the chest and the head. If it wasn't for that he would be out like a light. Once he heard Bullseye say his peace he knew what was coming. The Sai...the same one that killed MJ and everyone else. Damn he's predictable. Time for one last drive.

"Don't be so sure, " Daredevil said. He swept Bullseye's legs out from underneath him. Once he heard Bullseye hit the ground he kicked his leg up and dropped it right on Bullseye's stomach.

Daredevil stood up and grabbed Bullseye by the chest. He picked up Bullseye, gathered his senses and found a side door. Daredevil said, "Let's take this outside!" Still holdling Bullseye by his chest Daredevil ran as fast as he could and until...WHAM! CRASH!. Daredevil felt the door explode into hundreds of splinters and broken glass. Once they were outside Daredevil threw Bullseye to the ground. He took a step back and caught his breath. Daredevil said, "That adamantium skeleton makes for one hell of a battering ram. Now what was that about it hurting me more than you? Come on Bullseye get up I'm not finished yet! COME ON! GET UP YOU MISERABLE SLIME BALL! GET UP!"

"Well now, what is this?" Reed and Hank were monitoring Magneto's progess at the Blackbird's computers. His course changed drastically, and he headed back inland.

"What's he doing?" Johnny asked, joining the two brainiacs.

"Nate, come in, it's Johnny. We got a little situation here. Magneto is headed for L.A., not D.C. I reapeat, he's going to L.A. Do you copy?"


"Nathan doesn't know what Magneto is planning? Though that troubles me, it confirms our suspicion the Magneto has come with malicious intent. We should send a transmission to the military in California, and warn them of this pending disaster. Reed, I believe that you or Johnny should call it in, they might heed you more than they would me."

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Where are they now?" Johnny asked

"Nearing Las Vegas."

"Vegas. Perfect. Area 51."

"Johnny, please, this is no time for alien conspiracies."

"No, seriously. Aliens or not, there is a military base. If nothing else they can slow them down, buy us some time."

"The boy is right, Reed. It's our best chance right now."

Johnny picked up the receiver on the Blackbird's radio.

"This is a Level Red secure transmission, to any military posts in the vicinity of Las Vegas and Los Angeles. This is Johnny Storm of The Fantastic Four. The mutant known as Magneto is headed for the west coast, most likely the greater L.A. area. He has just enetered Vegas airspace. We are in pursuit, but any asistance would be greatly welcomed. Transmission over." Johnny hung the receiver back up. "Let's hope someone responds" The Blackbird streaked across the sky, entering Kansas airspace.

[DarkKnightJRK]

By the time we get inside the werehouse I knew that Whistler was still here, the sound of honkey-tonk blaring was enough evidence.

"Well, well, well, the prodical son returns..." I hear him slur. He doesn't look really drunk, but he's either just got off the big bender or is starting to sink into it.

"Whistler." I try to sound calm, but the anger from our previous talk and seeing him like this makes me anything but.

"Don't 'Whistler' me, goddamnit. Why are you here? And who the f**k are those guys?"

"They're with me. Their SHIELD agents Strong, Moss, and Donovan. They pulled my ass into their organization."

"Ah, so you're a big government spy now or something? Are you going to go around going...you don't have a last name, do you? Ok, that won't work..."

"Something like that."

"Well, what do you want me for?"

"We need some weapons."

"Really? Well, wouldn't some big-time spy organization have at least a few f**kin' guns?"

"Most of them is under the ocean floor now."

"Ok...ok..." I can see it in his eyes, he's pissed. "Tell me one thing, Blade...just who the f**k do you think you are? Who the f**k do you think am I? First you go sayin' you don't need me anymore now you come back saying you need me? Well, f**k you."

"That's not it at all. I never said any of that, but that isn't what matters now."

"Then what does?"

"Right now, Deacon Frost is out there. He's in Washington, planning a big invasion here in the US. We need your help."

"...Frost, eh? ...Aw, what the f**k. I'll help with some things."

"Good, but first..."

I look around and see a water tank near by, I lightly grab Whistler by the collar and push his head into the water tank. I look and see a bottle of Jack Danials on the work bench, I throw it up into the air, take out my Glive, and throw it at the bottle slicking it in half.

"You'll thank me later."

It will take a few hours until Whistler finishes his weapons. I sit in the old room I had before our fight, surprising not so worse for wear. I sit in a lotus position on the bed, focusing on my breathing.

"Deja vu all over again, huh?" I turn and see Alison near next to the door. "I mean, us waiting around until weapons are being made, and here's me, standing next to your door. I just hope this time this joint doesn't drop into New York Bay."

"Yeah, it would be a bit too far inland for that to happen."

"...Uh...may I come in?"

"Can't see why not."

She walks to the bed, looking unconfortable, her mouth slightly open, as though she wants to say something but can't find the words to say. She sits next to me and starts fumbeling around words.

"I...I just came here to say...sorry for...what happened outside...it...it wasn't my place to use...God I suck at this stuff...use the...what happened in your quarters to ask about things."

"It's...it's alright. I...I probably shouldn't have reacted like that. I'm...I suck at this stuff too...but you know what I'm trying to say."

"Yeah...seems like we have a lot in common."

A lot more is said in those words than I think she knows or even I know. Without thinking, I take my hand to her chin, directing her face towards mine. We stare at each other for a moment.

"So...how do you know the old man? Whistler, I think you called him, right?" I put my hand down from her chin, but she seems a lot closer than before and by some act of God my fallen hand is now on her knee.

"Yeah...I met him when I was 12. I was...feeding off the homeless in Boston. He found me, tried to kill me, but it was daytime then, so he knew I was different. He took me in, trained me to be a vampire hunter. He's..."

"A father you never had."

"...Yeah."

She looks at me and she's less than a foot away. How in the hell did she get so close so fast without me noticing? I'm not sure if a small amount of fear in her eyes is hers or the reflection of mine.

Her lips meet mine and all of it washes away. My eyes closing and my arms wrapping themselves around her is a combination of soft relaxation and powerfull need. After a few minutes we break, gasping from that kiss.

"Are...are you sure..."

"Yes. You?"

"...God yes."

We meet again and nothing else matters.

[SuperFerret]

Speedball still waited on the rooftop. He was getting bored and anxious so he jumped down to street level and went back to the store with the TV display window. A commercial was playing:

"Put the lime in the Coke, you nut, and drink them all together..."

Speedball sang along with it and caught himself.

"Heh,heh; now that song's gonna be stuck in my head ALL night."

The news came back on and after a while it was mentioned that the Sentinels had changed course and had a trajectory that would take them to California.

"Fantastico! It's soooo good that I'm in Washington. Well, at least I won't be around Turbo when she starts *****in' that she just came from California to NY for nothing."

(OOC: Just before anyone gets confused, this post happened while the sentinel fighting was still over the water, enjoy)

Stark continued his charge towards Magneto, diving underneath the Sentinels that he otherwise would've tried to tear apart.
Cut it off at the head, how often have I gone into a fight knowing this but not adhering to it. Not today, not again.
The frequency of sentinels was increasing as the distance between Stark and Magneto decreased, the sentinels clearly knew what Ironman was thinking as they blasted at him as he drew closer. Then, less then 70 yards from Magneto, the man himself started to pay attention to Stark, with just a wave of the hand. One wave of the hand that sent Stark flying a couple of miles from the battle.
Meanwhile, the sentinels paid no attention to this. Steel giants, they carried on happily, changing course and heading Southeast.
Really not in the mood for taking this battle across the country...
Ignoring this thought, Stark gave chase anyways. Though while almost leaving sight of New York he paused.
Tony, think about this. What happened the last time you lost sight of the big picture. For someone that's supposed to be "The Man Who Keeps World Economies in Check" (in the words of Time magazine), you sure are tunnel-visioned.
Always focused on the big fight, forgetting about the little guy. Something you vowed to never do. Sure, this is a world class threat, and as such deserves attention, but there's a few dozen world class heroes taking care of it.
You know why the Avengers fell, yet you haven't learned from it. You were monitoring the world, but forgetting what the world was.
In short, this isn't your fight Tony, and right now there are thousands of fights that are yours. No, not yours, but the Avengers. Not like the Avengers was, but what they will be.

Arriving back in New York shortly after letting the fight go Ironman began to fly back home. Over the rooftops he could see everything, and one particular thing caught his eye.
"Yo we don't like you damn punks in our hood, you ride up in our turf, you die up in our turf"
A kid was getting beaten in a circle of men, each one about twice his size. It didn't matter what provoked this, it wasn't right.
"No, actually he won't be dying on your 'turf'. As I recall, this part of New York is Daredevil's 'turf', and you're lucky I found you before him."
"IRON-MAN, WHAT THE F-"
"Don't finish that sentence kid, as it will be held against you in the court of law. Oh and to you two over there whispering a plan to run away, don't even think about it, I can knock each and every one of you out before you leave the ally. No, instead you're going to be marched to the police station down the street, explain the video I'm going to give them of you beating our young friend here, then show them the licenses for the guns you've all got concealed in your pants."

After running the kids to the station, Tony Stark returned home and powered down and removed the armour.
That felt good, you saved the little guy... no, you saved the world, for the little guy. And that's where it needs to start.
"Phone- it's time to make a few calls..."

[PFunk2]

A few days later.

Both Monica and Derek are watching what's happening on the news.

"Hard just sitting here just watching it happen. Isn't it?" Derek responds first.

"Yeah." Monica answers

"Comes with the job. But of course being ex-police you know that."

"True. Still bites though." then as if seening his unease monica puts her hand on his. "But if it means anything you're right about me sitting this one out for awhile."

"That's good." he turns smiling at her. "Besides it's nice to have some time to ourselves from time to time."

Smiling at that monica reaches over to to kiss. But is interrupted by a doorbell. "You stay right there." she commands as Derek watchers her head towards the door. Pick up something from the mailman than walk back to the couch. Looking at the various stuff the mailman had left her.

"Anything good?" Derek asks?

"Just the usual. Bills, adds. and such dear." then she sees something strange in the bunch. And unmarked letter listing a meeting time and place-along with the strong indication that she can't not tell of anyone else. Monica thinks a bit long about the last part. The secretly part bothered her. But it could be someone trying to contact her for help about something, trying to keep it on the down low. "But Derek's is the closest thing to my life besides mom, and family." she thinks to herself taking a look a Derek. "We never held anything from each other before. And I'm not going to start now." she ends.

"Hon. We got to talk." she says to Derek and hands him the strange letter.

"Hmmmm.....This is serious dear. Do me a favor pass on this one."

"Why" she asked.

"Unmarked letters like this usually spell trouble in my line of bussiness." he says looking at the invite. "And being a former cop yourself you know exactly what I'm talking about right?"

Monica nods her head yes in response. "Yes. Unfortunatly I do."

"Good. And beside I'm sure that you're agree with me this just dosn't feel right. Still I'll keep this between us for now. And hope there's no repucussions because of it. Yet get ready for any if hey do" Derek says to her smiling.

"I wouldn't expect anything less." she smiles and gives him a embrace and a kiss. "I just hope it doesn't come to that." and on that note Monica vaporized the unknown invite in her hand with a brief use of power.

(to be continued)

OOC- You must edit your post Pfunk. The invite never said anything about the Hellfire club it had a simple quote and a meeting place and date. Secondly the letter says tell no one or the invite will be revoked...remember a "secret club" ---Your Killing me!!!! ;)

Bobby de-ices as he sits in the Blackbird, on the way to California.

"Man, busting up those sentinals was fun. Lets hope the rest to come is that easy. Hey, wait a minute, where is the guy with all teh balls? You know Speedball, I thought he was with us? Hey Johnny, are we there yet?"

*Magneto's Sentinels reach their destination: the Golden Gate Bridge. They form a half sphere pattern around it and begin to charge up their cannons*

OOC: Aww crap that's right...my bad. Let this be a lesson to one and all...do not try to RPG right after you wake up from a nap.

IC

The only thing that was keeping Daredevil awake was the intense pain he was feeling after getting kicked in the nuts, the gut, the chest and the head. If it wasn't for that he would be out like a light. Once he heard Bullseye say his peace he knew what was coming. The Sai...the same one that killed MJ and everyone else. Damn he's predictable. Time for one last drive.

"Don't be so sure, " Daredevil said. He swept Bullseye's legs out from underneath him. Once he heard Bullseye hit the ground he kicked his leg up and dropped it right on Bullseye's stomach.

Daredevil stood up and grabbed Bullseye by the chest. He picked up Bullseye, gathered his senses and found a side door. Daredevil said, "Let's take this outside!" Still holdling Bullseye by his chest Daredevil ran as fast as he could and until...WHAM! CRASH!. Daredevil felt the door explode into hundreds of splinters and broken glass. Once they were outside Daredevil threw Bullseye to the ground. He took a step back and caught his breath. Daredevil said, "That adamantium skeleton makes for one hell of a battering ram. Now what was that about it hurting me more than you? Come on Bullseye get up I'm not finished yet! COME ON! GET UP YOU MISERABLE SLIME BALL! GET UP!"


Bullseye lay twitching on the ground. Small shards of glass and wood splinters were stuck all along his back and the backs of his legs. With a grimace of pain, he rolled round onto his front, the glass digging into his palms. He was crawling again, but this time crawling away from Daredevil. He wasn't thinking too clearly, but the one thing he knew was that he had to get away from him.

Then, he saw it. A larger shard of glass lying just across from him. He grabbed it, and spun round, slicing right across Daredevil's chest with it. Then he smashed the shard across the side of Daredevil's head.

As Daredevil staggered backwards, Bullseye picked up his sai with a trembling hand, and staggered towards Daredevil.

"Its time to finish this, you self-righteous bastard!"

[Silver Sable]

"I think I will switch back to being johnny until we meet up with this goblin character, oh by the way in this form you can call me jonny cause that is my real name. Also just so I know which way are we going. "

"The last time that I saw Hobby take off was near the tunnel, let's go that way"

Sable hopes on to Johnny's mototcycle and they take off

[Electro UK]

As the team headed on, they eventually came out of the mountain area. After a while they stopped to rest. As Max laid his head on a rock, he heard a swooping sound from far away. Soon the sound got closer and the team were starting to look around wondering what it was. Max poked his head up. SMASH! The rock he was laying on fell to pieces. If he hadn't moved his head he'd be dead.

Behind Max came the swooping sound once more as a man emerged from the mist swinging a chain around him. Max put his fists out in front and opend fire, the shots only to be blocked by the mans chain. Abosrbing Man changed into rock and ran at him, but the chain effortlessly knocked him back. Toxin dived avoiding the chain's attacks, he gracefully weaved in and out between the chain. The chain hit a rock that shattered into a thousand pieces, many flew into Toxin knocking him back. The Lizard know ran, throwing rocks at the chain to distract it. By the time it had broken the incoming fire, it was too late, The Lizard gave a mighty punch, that landed right in the mans face lifting him off the ground. Using his suit, Toxin grabbed the chain. Electro approached the man.

"Sorry pal, nice try though" He grabbed his foot and fryed him.

He stood up and looked around. Only one more to go.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"They've stopped," Reed announced. "But not in L.A."

"Then where?"

"San Francisco. They've formed a barrier around the Golden Gate Bridge. I detect a large energy output from them."

"And, in real English, that means..."

"I believe they're preparing to fire their primary weapons. Magneto is going to destroy The Golden Gate Bridge."

"WHAT!!! But all those people!! How far are we?"

"Just entering California airspace. We could be there in fifteen minutes if we encounter no resistance, but that is highly unlikely. Magneto will succeed with his plans at all costs."

Johnny looked to the front of the jet, watching out the window the landscape streaked by in one continuous blur. Magneto was about to start a war.

"Nate, I hope you have that psi-link open. I hope you're seeing this. Because we need help, bad. One way or another, we need another miracle," Johnny thought

[Harlekin]

"Open tha hatch NOW!" Sam said as her raced towards the hash, undid himself of the blaster and all the belts and buckles on his uniform. Gonna have to push myself harder than Ah have before, but by God, Magneto will not succeed.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Right behind ya, Sam," Johnny left the computer console and joined Cannonball at the hatch of the Blackbird "Beside's you don't think I'm gonna let you go by yourself and risk our bet, do ya."

"We'll clear the path. You guys just get to Magneto as quick as possible."

[Tropico]

http://jerome.galica.free.fr/marvel/Avengers/warrior/Speedball.gif

Speedball tried contacting the rest of the Warriors on his comm but he didn't get an answer. New feeds of what the Sentinels were up to interrupted the weather forecast. It made sense that his comm calls were not being answered if the guys were racing there at top speed, the wind pressure alone would make normal conversation impossible at the speeds Nova could travel.

"Well, never seen Washington before; might as well do so now. I wonder if I can leap over the White House in a single bound."

[Harlekin]

"Just remember, out there, it ain't about the cash, its about savin' lives." As Sam slapped Johnny on the shouler the hatch opened, and Cannonball jumped out. "Its GO time!" and he flew off faster than he ever had before.

[twylight]

Chirp chirp chiiirrrrpppp

Two eyes flitted open revealing a set of hazel green eyes.
Rogue lay still as she got her bearings. She lay in the darkened woods with the right side of her body pressed against the ground. Gently raising herself up she sat with her legs curled next to her as she rubbed her eyes, trying to remember what happened.
She knew what happened, but was surprised that none of the feelings came back, it felt like a mental block.

The Professor?
No, He wouldn’t have done that without telling her, or at least bringing her back to the Mansion.

Pushing herself slowly off the ground to avoid a head rush, she stood up.
How long had it been? Even if anyone had missed her they would have all thought she was somewhere else. Brushing herself off of the twigs and grass she noticed her outfit was torn in several places.
She pushed at her brain for something, anything of the persons in her. All that happened was a flash of orange and red.
She assumed it was one of Logan’s. Aside from Carol Danvers, whom she had come to terms with a while ago, Wolverines was the most predominant one.

She lifted herself into the air. It was time to go back to the mansion.
She flew back slowly, the night air brushed past her face and caused her hair to stream in the wind behind her.
She wished, she wished many things. But mostly that she wasn’t alone., and also that she knew what was going on.
The only other X-Men who might understand was Warren, but even he would never completely understand the feeling of your body doing uncontrollable things while you looked on, on the inside.

Glancing down she saw the edge of the Mansion’s well trimmed grounds.
She landed next to Storms garden, walking along the edge of it. Even Storm had a place to escape to Rogue thought as she stopped to look at a few flowers. She had felt Storms powers long ago, and seen the world as Storm saw it. It was so beautiful. Closing her eyes she imagined it again. It was one of the few absorptions she kept fresh in her mind.
The memories of the beautiful glossemer swirls danced in her minds eye as she fondly smiled. She was jolted back to reality when a large gust of wind whipped her hair across her face. Opening her eyes she looked down at the tiny flower at her feet, as the wind died .

Kneeling down and taking her glove off she touched the light yellow face of one of the flowers. One of the few living things she dare touch with her bare hands.

Standing she placed her glove on again and flew to the mansion.
Quietly opening the back door she walked down the quiet and dark hallway to the elevator, taking it to the lower levels.

The lower level Hallways were dim and silent as she walked through them. First thing was to see how long she had been gone and if her other teammates had come back yet.

Startled she realized she didn’t have her comm. She wondered if they had tried to contact her. She passed the hanger, stopping she opened the doors.

Empty.

The X-Men weren’t here, slightly worried she made her way back upstairs.
Angel, Cyclops, Gambit and Sam had gone on the Mission. She had no idea where Beast was or the Professor.
The Library She wondered where that had come from. Stepping out of the elevator she walked to the Library. A faint glow of gold came through the bottom of the door.
Opening it she asked “Professor?” her answer was a quiet “Hello Rogue.”

Maybe now was the time to tell him, though she guessed he probably already knew. She desperatly wanted to know what was going on in her. Stepping in she closed the door softly behind her with a 'click'.

"FLAME ON!!!"


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Spider-Man9x17/JohnnyFlying.jpg

Johnny leapt out of the hatch, and he was off like a shot. He hadn't flown this fast in a long time, and for a moment it was almost too much for him. He quickly gained control however and reached Sam's side. The Blackbird could make it to Frisco in 15 minutes, but at the speed Johnny and Sam could be there in just over five. The city loomed in the distance, a small dot growing larger and larger. It was close, but the first line of Sentinels was closer.

"BREAK SAM! NOW!" The two broke formation, and Johnny flew off to the left. He plowed through the closest Sentinel, melting a hole straight through the head. The robot began to fall to the ground, colliding with another Sentinel on the way down.

"Talk about two birds with one stone." Johnny looed off towards the bay. He could see the bridge in the distance, and the wall of Sentinels, their hands glowing brighter and brighter. They were working on borrowed time.

"C'mon Sam, let's make Magneto wish he dad had never gotten drunk and taken his mom to bed."

Johnny blasted the head off of two more Sentinels.

[Harlekin]

Although hardly as elegant in his proceedings as the Human Torch, Cannonball was quite capable of destroying the Sentinels in his way. His tactic was the less refined but ultimately effective way of blowing right through them and letting them fall like domino's. Just as he destroyed another Sentinel, Sam flew next to Johnny again.

"We're gonna make sure he wished that his Dad never drank alcohol in his life." The quip wasn't as funny, but needed to be made.

[Nightwing.]

OOC:hes after the san andreas fault.hes got juggernaut underneath the ground and hes gonna cause mayhem so people are trapped and cant get away from the sentinels and then theyre gonna be destroyed.thats my thinking anyway

IC: Gambit "We gotta hurry. If magneto gets to san fransisco he could mess with the fault and cause an enormous earthquake. Why d'ya think we havent seen juggernaut yet?hell be there ready to cause some damage.theyre a powerful force. we gotta step this hunk a junk up and get there fast"

Bullseye lay twitching on the ground. Small shards of glass and wood splinters were stuck all along his back and the backs of his legs. With a grimace of pain, he rolled round onto his front, the glass digging into his palms. He was crawling again, but this time crawling away from Daredevil. He wasn't thinking too clearly, but the one thing he knew was that he had to get away from him.

Then, he saw it. A larger shard of glass lying just across from him. He grabbed it, and spun round, slicing right across Daredevil's chest with it. Then he smashed the shard across the side of Daredevil's head.

As Daredevil staggered backwards, Bullseye picked up his sai with a trembling hand, and staggered towards Daredevil.

"Its time to finish this, you self-righteous bastard!"

Daredevil felt the blood running acorss his chest and down his face. I can't continue on with this much longer, the loss of blood is starting...starting...to...I can't even really think anymore. Time to act on instinct.

Daredevil heard Bullseye stagger towards him, as Bullseye raised the sai Daredevil threw his billyclub at the sai knocking it away. Bullseye grunted in frustration but still kept coming forward. This was one moment he was not going to be denied. Then Daredevil collapsed to his knees and began breathing heavier. Bullseye knew this could be a bluff but he couldn't let this chance pass him by. If I am about to go down I am gong down swinging Once he heard Bullseye stop Daredevil whispered low, "Elektra" and with that Daredevil clasped both if his hands together and nailed Bulseye in the chin with an upper cut. He said louder, "Elektra". Again he hit Bullseye in the chest and said, Elektra. He threw a right hook and yelled, "ELEKTRA!" and then finally a left hook and cried out, "ELEKTRA!!" He heard Bullseye hit the ground on the last hit. As soon as Bullseye hit the ground Daredevil staggered back and dropped to his knees picking up his billyclub and tossing Bullseye's sai into the warehouse. Daredevil could hear though Bullseye moving around it was only a matter of time before he got back up. Daredevil said "Keep in mind those punches were for Elektra. I still need to get even for Karen & MJ." Daredevil pulled himself up with a nearby water pipe and leaned on it for support.

"Beast, Reed..." Archangel said looking over at the two scientists with concern. "Johnny and Sam are going to need all the help they can get, I'm going after them. My wings can propel me to the speed of sound, so I'll make it there right when they are arriving"

*Warren jumped out of the top of the blackbird, paused for a second and commanded his wings to spread. "Apocalypse sure did a number on me..." Archangel thought as he looked at his gigantic metal wings... "But its times like these that I'm actually glad that I don't have my regular feather wings..." He was surprised to hear himself say that, but he knew he only felt that way because his metal wings were helping alot in this fray...when its all over, he will remember why he disliked them...but for this moment...this one important moment, they were everything he had. "Wings don't fail me now" Warren said as he ripped off in the direction Johnny and Sam went in. Warren caught up with them in no time at all*

"You guys didn't think you could take all of the fun did you?" Warren said with a smirk. "It wasn't hard at all to catch up with you guys, you guys must be getting rusty ;)" Archangel laughed. "But I'll make fun of you guys later, right now we have to stop Magneto!"

[Harlekin]

OOC: Near lightspeed? That's the most serious case of overamping your character's powers I have ever seen. No offense mate, but Warren does not have Superman level speed. Besides, if he's near lightspeed, he could quite easily just reach Magneto in seconds. I even have doubts of him being surpassing the speed of sound, but I could be wrong on that.

OOC: Actually I have a couple of marvel cards that actually say he can...thats where I get my info from. But if it bothers you that much I can change it. (i'm not sure if it said speed of sound or light though, i'd have to double check) I just went with one of them. I'll make you happy Harlekin and change it to supersonic speed...whatever that means haha

[swingerbone]

OOC: Maybe not lightspeed but the X-Men Marvel Encyclopedia from 2003 has Archangels's speed equvalent to Cannonball's... though it doesn't give any quantitative answer

[Spider-Man9X17]

Another Sentinel fell to the Human Torch as he heard Gambit's comment over his commlink. Something clicked inside Johnny, and things started coming together.

"Son of a b*tch."

Johnny plowed through another Sentinel, as the Blackbird came into view in the distance. More and more Sentinels began joining the assault as well.

"OK guys, we gotta clear a path for the Blackbird. It's time to stop foolin' around with these damned robots, and strike this thing at the heart."

Johnny finished with the fancy footwork and began going to work. He plowed forward, burning through Sentinel after Sentinel as the Blackbrid joined the fray. Two missles fire from under the wings of the jet, ramming into a pair of Sentinels and blowing them to pieces. Johnny had another Sentinel hot on his trail as ne made for another pack in the distance.

"Nice try, but I don't think you guys can do this," Johnny went into a 90 degree rise. The Sentinel chasing him, too big to maneuver properly rammed into the middle of the packtaking itself out along with another half dozen robots

The group entered the city's airspace. Sentinels were already deployed on the ground. Magneto had that bridge covered tighter than Fort Knox.

Johnny broke off and decended down into the city. The Blackbird was going to need a clear path to drop off a ground assault, and Johnny began clearing the way.

[Keyser Soze]

Bullseye was rolling around on the floor in agony. With a hacking cough, he spat out more blood and a couple of teeth. All that dental work he'd got done had been pretty redundant then. That thought started him laughing, even though laughing hurt like hell with his damaged ribs and his ravaged mouth and everything else.

Bullseye sat up with a pained sigh. He glared at Daredevil, knowing that it was only a matter of time before the son of a ****** bled out. But he also knew that he himself only had a few more hits left in him before he was spent. Here they were, both half-dead from beating the hell out of each other. Bullseye was sure that, if this was a movie, this would be the point where they went through the whole mutual respect crap. But that's what it was: crap. He didn't respect Daredevil. He wasn't going to shake his hand when this was all over and say "The best man won." because in his heart, Bullseye didn't respect him.

No, the truth was, he hated Daredevil, hated him everything he stood for, hated him for getting in his way all the time, hated him for just...being alive. And all that hate came brimming to the surface as he started blabbering about Elektra, Karen and MJ. Who was he, who was this...piece of crap, to talk about his Mary-Jane, his sweet Mary-Jane?

"Get even for MJ? Heh, okay, go ahead. Beat the hell outta me. But when you're done, make sure you go and find Peter Parker, and do the same to him. He's just as responsible for Mary-Jane's death as I am. If it wasn't for him letting her into his life, if it wasn't for him failing to rescue her, she'd still be alive today."

Bullseye began to stand up, grabbing on the railing at the side of the pier to try and scramble to his feet. He was getting angrier, more hateful, by the second.

"And don't you realise, Daredevil, that the same thing applies with you? Not with Elektra, no. She signed her death warrant the day she tried to upstage me. But that crack whore in the church, the blood's on your hands. Hell, she was killed by YOUR billclub, and was killed by a hit that was meant for YOU! We both killed her. So yeah, I lie in my bed at night, and I know where I'm going to be spendin' eternity, but you know what, Devil? You and Parker both deserve to be down there, burnin' right alongside me."

Bullseye was now standing, even though he was leaning on the railing to stay that way.

"So I can kill you, or you can kill me, but the fact remains that we're flipsides of the same coin. We're just as bad as each other, so don't start with all your sanctimonious bull..."

Before he could even finish his sentence, the railing gave way. Bullseye toppled over the side and into the water below. He sputtered around briefly, trying to swim back towards the framework of the pier, but he was too weak from the battle. With one last desperate gasp, he vanished under the water.

[Harlekin]

OOC: Yeah, speed of sound sounds a lot more likely than lightspeed. Lightspeed is going travelling the world 7 times in 7 seconds.

IC:
Sam was pretty much following Johnny's lead, flying through more and more Sentinels, occasionally taking the time to slam them together. Together with the Torch he was making a path for the Blackbird as they approached the bridge. The sight of that amazed him.

[Keyser Soze]

OOC Post

Just to clarify, back in the first Russian Roulette post, I stated we were in a warehouse out on the pier, hence the water. I thought it would be best to end hte fight now, since my exams start next week, and I might not be able to post for a few days.

I just want to say that I greatly enjoyed that fight, MST3K 4Ever, and I thank you for taking part in it with me.

[Spider-Man9X17]

OOC: I think the speed of sound is right. I know several characters can reach that speed, including Johnny.

[Harlekin]

OOC: Yeah, a lot of characters can do that, but you'll be hardpressed to find a Marvel character going lightspeed beyond the cosmics.

[Karem-Knight]

OOC: My computer is all messed up guys sorry

The Green Goblin screamed in pain as the current of electricity tore through him. When it finally ended after what felt like an eternity, he fell down onto his knees. He looked up hatefully at Fisk. His plan hadn't worked. But a Goblin always had a Plan B.

There was one ace in his sleeve he was going to keep secret, going to keep as one final way to get revenge on Fisk. But he had no cards left to play, and he was going to have to use it.

"Fisk, there's something I've not been telling you, I'm afraid. I thought you would release me immediately when you discovered I had your wife, but obviously you don't love her as much as I thought. Well, I'll give you one more chance to save her."

He smiled, pulling back his glove to show Fisk a metal band attached round his wrist.

"You may be wondering what this is. Well, I'll tell you. Its the trigger to a bomb. If I press this button right here, the bomb explodes. If this wristband is broken, the bomb explodes. If it is forcefully removed, the bomb explodes. When the bomb goes off, it will be enough to take out an entire building. Oh, don't look so worried, Fisk. The bomb isn't in the wristband. This is a REMOTE trigger. No, the bomb is inside Vanessa."

The Green Goblin could see the horror once again building in Fisk's face. He had him by the balls now.

"Yes, I implanted the bomb just in the back of her neck. I was going to wait until you were reunited with Vanessa, and then blow you both up. But now I've had to change my plans. If you don't release me RIGHT NOW, I'll detonate the bomb and blow her into lots of tiny little pieces. Your choice, fat man..."

Venom had been searching high and low in New York for Spider-Man. He was nowhere to be seen.

He needed to fight someone, anyone, it had been a long time since his fight with Ghost Rider, and he needed a proper work out.

He had to find someone to fight

[Spider-Man9X17]

Johnny flew through the city, looking for somewhere the Blackbird could land. Hundreds, if not thousands of Sentinels patrolled the street. Luckily, it seemed that most people had left or where hiding.

Johnny finally came to a huge business plaza, itself guarded by well over 100 Sentinels, with more lining the adjacent streets.

"This is nuts. I can't clear this in time. Can't risk a Nova, not yet. Have to save my strength. Think, Johnny, think!" The Human Torch looked aorund, and spotted his answer. A tanker truck sat, overturned, on the street just off of the plaza. A small, steady stream of gasoline seeped from its cracked trailer.

"Crude and destructive, but what other choice do I have," Johnny said to himself. By this time, the Sentinels had noticed him, and were moving in. "Prefect. Plays right into this." Johnny formed two fireballs and chucked them at the flow of gasoline and then quickly took off. The fuel ignited, and the flame took off like a shock. Johnny was well out of harms way when the tanker exploded, but was still knocked around by the schockwave.

"OK, guys, you have your landing zone, but Bobby may have to do some fancy ice work before you can deploy." Johnny paused for a second. "By the way, I think that brings my total to well over 300."

The Human Torch took off to rejoin Archangel and Cannonball.

[twylight]

OOC: I think the speed of sound is right. I know several characters can reach that speed, including Johnny.

OOC: So he's going Mach 1. Here's a site that might help.

"You always forget to take out the little ones don't you Johnny?" Sam said with a smirk as he destroyed another Sentinel "These little ones are always the nastiest, but they bring in the cash. We're almost even, counting all the ones Ah took down since you took off. But, we still have the bridge to take care of, lets go!" Sam headed the line as he flew for the Golden Gate bridge.

[Spider-Man9X17]

OOC: I hate to do this, but I gotta leave for work. Gonna be gone until about 9 or 9:30. If any one wants to bunny Johnny a little, go ahead, but save me some action at the bridge. :D :ff:

[Harlekin]

OOC: Don't count on more than one or two posts this evenin' either, Dirty Harry is gonna resume in a bit (Eastwood is a badass) and most of the rest of the time before I go to sleep will be spent on Final Fantasy III.

[Sparta*]

OOC: Where is Cyclops right now? Thraka just dropped out of the RPG and wanted me to bunny Cyclops until this confrontation is over, and we can decide what will become of Cyclops.

[SuperFerret]

"We gotta hurry. If magneto gets to san fransisco he could mess with the fault and cause an enormous earthquake. Why d'ya think we havent seen juggernaut yet?hell be there ready to cause some damage.theyre a powerful force. we gotta step this hunk a junk up and get there fast"

"Intriguing assessment Gambit, and would seem a likely destination for Magneto." Hank turned to Reed, "Do you have any ideas on how to stop him, if he is indeed after the faultline?"

OOC: Who's flying the Blackbird?

[Sparta*]

OOC: I'm not sure...but the Blackbird is on the ground now, (Johnny cleared a path for it to land) so whoever was inside can come out and start kicking some ass with Sam, Johnny and I. Is Cyclops on the Blackbird?

[SuperFerret]

OOC: I'm not sure...but the Blackbird is on the ground now, (Johnny cleared a path for it to land) so whoever was inside can come out and start kicking some ass with Sam, Johnny and I. Is Cyclops on the Blackbird?

OOC: Johnny left a space but it didn't land yet, and let's just say Cyke is on board. Ok?

Hank landed the Blackbird in the spot the Torch cleared out. "Ok, we've landed, I suggest you all evacuate this vehicle and engage the occupying Sentinels. I'm taking this bird and going to have a chat with Magneto."

[Electro UK]

The group set off again. Soon enough, they came to a valley. As they walked through it, they searched around for any surprises from their final attacker. Max walked in front of the group.

After walking through for a while, everyone behind Max suddenly seemed to walk flat into a clear wall and fall over. He looked back in surprised at the group that were all cradeling their faces in their hands to get rid of the pain. Max looked to the sides of the walls to see small devices. He stuck his hand out and it passed through as if nothing was there.

"The device must let something in my powers pass," Max thought to himself, "strange." He'd have to continue without them. One on One, 2 shade had planned this.

Electro walked on until he came to a dead end. This was it. From beneath a rock, a woman came out. But she looked familiar. Max knew her. It was Mia.

"Max... is that you?"

"Mia?"

"Max it is you!" Mia ran to Max's side and flung her arms around him. "Oh god I can't believe it. It's really you."

"Mia... what are you doing here?"

"I don't know! All of a suddern I was just here." Max wasn't satisfied by this answer. As he hugged Mia, he realised what he was doing. He wasn't hugging Mia! He was hugging 2 shade!

Max acted faster than her, he shocked her. He was satisfied by her screams as her burnt body fell to the ground, a knife was in her hand.

That was it, Max's team had won. Suddenly the world around them vanished, and Max and his team were back at the table.

"I congratulate you all. You have succeded. You may go now. In your world no time will have passed. You will also have no memory of these events." Said Thanos.

And that was it.

***

Max Dillon raised his head from the side of the building, he must have dropped off for a split second. The weather had cleared up, no more rain.

No more relaxing now, it was time to go and find Bullseye. If he wasn't dead already. Max shot off to search for Bullseye

[swingerbone]

"If Magneto is indeed going for the San Andreas fault we will need some counterbalances that can withstand the tremendous tectonic forces between the plates. If we can get them down far enough, Ben and Colossus would be a good start, but one false move and they would be crushed. I can see what I can whip up out of the equipment we brought on the Blackbird, but I'm afraid with all the haste I never planned for such a contingency... If anyone else knows a way to withhold such forces now is the time to speak up. If we had someone like Avalanche on our side that would be handy."

OOC: SF, you want Reed to tag along to Mags or stay with the ground troops?

[SilverCenturion]

OOC: Just for the record, I didn;t do anyting. I didn't use my magnetic powers. Iron Man can do whatever he wants, but don't bunyn me. Not now. Maybe some other time, but Magneto doesn't move unless I say he moves...OOC: Just for the record, I had no desire to bunny you. But after waiting a day for you to post only for you to ignore me. Just let that post stand, it was nothing of great importance just a way for me to withdraw from that storyline.

[Nancy-Twin]

OOC: Johnny left a space but it didn't land yet, and let's just say Cyke is on board. Ok?

Hank landed the Blackbird in the spot the Torch cleared out. "Ok, we've landed, I suggest you all evacuate this vehicle and engage the occupying Sentinels. I'm taking this bird and going to have a chat with Magneto."

Sue stopped with Reed and turned to Hank.

"....Hank, are you sure you wanna take on Magneto by-yourself? You don't think you'll need any help?"

"Dear Sue, it is well worth a go now wouldn't you say?" Sue smiled unsure of what to say. It was extremely dangerous to just let Hank head on over with out the rest of F4 or X-men. However Sue felt she could trust that he would know what to do. If there was anyone Sue knew could talk some sense into Magneto besides her husband it was Hank. And there was no time to loose.

"You just promise all of us that you will be careful, alright?"

"Sue think about what is important. You must get out there with the rest of the Fantastic Four they need you, and so does the world"

Sue turned to her husband "Reed, I'm going with Johnny and everyone else..... I'll let you decide if you want to stay with Hank, if not.... you'll know where to find me" Sue leaned in and gave Reed a passionate kiss. She looked back at him as she exited the Blackbird

Sue looked around. "Thank God" She thought, the city seemed almost deserted except for the huge group of Sentinels alined in the streets. Many of the X-men had already started to take out most of them. Sue turned around to look back at the Blackbird, but not before she saw 10 Sentinels coming toward her. "All right....get ready to be blown away" Sue whispered under her breath before blasting them into one another with an energy Blast.

[Sparta*]

"I'm going with Sue" Scott said. "two of my X-men are out there, as well as Sue's brother...we can't let them stand alone against these odds....we have to do something!"

*Scott and the Invisible Woman exit the ship, but before they leave Scott turns to his long time friend Hank McCoy*

"Hank......be careful...Magneto is in a fragile state right now...any attempt to reason with him could lead to him taking action against you. I have full confidence that if anyone can reason with him, its you Hank....but........just be careful, thats all"

*With that Scott and Sue ran into the fray to join Archangel, Cannonball, and the Human Torch. As soon as they leave the ship, Cyclops see's ten sentinels coming right for Sue. He raises his hand to his visor, and is about to shoot when suddenly the sentinels start being tossed around like rag dolls. In a matter of seconds the ten metal beasts are turned into steaming piles of scrap metal. Apparently Mrs. Storm didn't need any of his protection*

"Whoa..." Scott thought to himself....He had heard of the power of the Invisible Woman before...but seeing it up close and personal was something else. "How could such a delicate woman hold such limitless power within her?" Scott thought....and for a moment he pictured Jean....oh how Sue reminded him of her..."No time to worry about that now...I can't let my personal feelings get in the way of my duties as leader" He thought "I must be strong to set an example for everyone else... we have some Sentinels to destroy" Scott locked back onto his primary objective....destroying the Sentinels. He ran over to the heart of the fray, and looked up to see Archangel, Cannonball, and the Human Torch flying around taking out as many sentinels as they could. He decided to attack from below and destroy as many sentinels in the air as he could, before they noticed him. He saw Archangel take out two sentinels with his metal feathers, totally shredding them through the middle, but while Warren's back was turned, two more sentinels came at him. "WARREN! Look out!" Cyclops screamed as he blasted the first sentinel through the chest. "So much for trying to stay hidden" he thought as he blasted the other sentinels arm and leg off. The sentinels both crashed to the ground one on top of the other. "Good shot Cyke!" Warren shouted as he swooped down and cut a sentinels head off with one side of his wing "but there is no time to chit chat now, we got some trash to take out!" Archangel said. "YEAH!" Cyclops replied in agreement as he saw 8 sentinels coming right for him. He had to think fast...he took off his visor, closed his eyes.....waited for just the right moment and...

"BBBBLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM!!"

He unleashed the full unadultered power of his optic blast onto 8 very unlucky sentinels. The sentinels crashed to the ground and exploded instantaneously. "well, 8 down, just under about 700 to go!" he thought to himself while putting his visor back on.

[CorporalHicks]

Colossus picks up a sentinel by the legs and swings it around, knocking down every sentinel coming toward him. A sentinel marches toward Colossus, ready to fire. Iceman sweeps in and freezes the sentinel, leaving it for Colossus to smash into tiny snowflakes. :xmen:

"Thanks for the assist Iceman, not that I couldn't have handeled it myself"
"No prob. Let's take out these guys!"

Iceman freezes 6 sentinels into a giant snoball, except with ice, and Colossus picks it up, and hurls it 100 yards toward another fleet of robots; crushing them too.

"The base! They're coming out of the Base! Iceman! Door! Fix it!"
"Gezz, no need to be so bossy metalface."

Iceman uses his power to create an enormously thick sheet of ice, covering the source of the sentinels' cache.

[Sparta*]

OOC: Corporal, Juggernaut is off on his own right now, preparing to cook up some mayhem. He can't be bunnied at the moment.

[Nancy-Twin]

OOC: Hey Sparta, nice work with Cyke there! maybe you should consider playing him next season?

[Sparta*]

OOC: Thanks Nancy! I really like your Invisible Woman too. I think we should kick some sentinel ass together! (P.S. I edited my post, so there is alot more near the end if you want to read it again) I really like Cyclops....but I really like Archangel too...we'll have to see what happens I guess :D

OOC2: so Hank and Reed are on the blackbird....Archangel, Cannonball, and Johnny Storm are in the air..and Cyclops and Sue Storm left the blackbird to attack from the ground. Who else was in the blackbird that will be leaving to attack from the ground? Thing? Colossus? Gambit? Wolverine? Iceman?

[swingerbone]

OOC: Cyclops best stop thinking bout my wife!!! ;)

[Sparta*]

OOC: Hey, Jeans dead alright (well I think at least) and a man's gotta get his jollies from somewhere haha jj

[swingerbone]

OOC: where's Emma Frost when she's needed? ;)

[Nancy-Twin]

OOC: Sparta :rolleyes: lol

IC: After clearing 5 more Sentinels out of the way, Sue looked up above her.
"Johnny...." She thought "....No more Novas, Johnny. Be careful. Don't get caught up. Focus, Johnny." Unfortunetly Sue couldn't see him in the sky, she could only hope he could handle himself, for Frankie' sake at least.

As Sue moved another row of Senitels standing next to a stop sign. She almost hit a building with the scrap of metal she piled together

Then Sue remembered something Johnny had said to her when he came back from his falling into the sea. Had he really seen Their mother and father? He spoke with such emotion, Sue didn't really have time to think about whether he was dilusional or not. Johnny even claimed god had said something to him. Sue slowly cleared her mind away from that thought when she heard Scott call to her.

"SUE! You are alright?"

"Fine, let's go!"


OCC: Alright now I have to go to Dance class but I should be back for more action around 9:)

[Batman]

OOC:Logan never backs down from possible action,so of course Im goin.

Where and who do I go with?

[batnkevlar]

"I'm going with Sue" Scott said. "two of my X-men are out there, as well as Sue's brother...we can't let them stand alone against these odds....we have to do something!"

*With the attackers, the Sentinels move their attacks onto the X-Men... and away from the bridge*

[Sparta*]

"Alright good, then let's do it!" Scott replied. "Right now we are the only ground attackers, so we have to stick together until the back up arrives!" Scott said looking at Sue. "Alright Cyclops" Sue said "Let's take the pressure off my brother and your X-men by taking out as many of these monsters as we can!" Sue said sternly. "Agreed" Cyclops replied.

*With that Cyclops and the Invisible Woman began their merciless onslaught against the sentinels. Cyclops was glad that the the citizens abandoned the area...the last thing he needed to worry about right now was hurting people. And if there is no one around, he can feel free to unleash his power to the very max of his potential. "Alright Mrs. Storm, if we want to take out as many sentinels as possible, I suggest we work together, and use our powers to help eachother out" Cyke said "Thats fine with me Cyclops, I'll set some up and you can knock some down...but don't think your going to take all the fun away from me" she said with a mischevious grin. Sue turned around and saw 2 sentinels approaching, she trapped them in an invisible force field and pointed Scott in their direction. Scott prepared to fire just as Sue lowered the forcefield. Scott then blasted one of the sentinels head off, and blasted a hole through the other one. "Good thinking Mrs. Storm!" Scott shouted as he cut an approaching sentinel in half with his optic blast. Sue then began turning several objects invisible including benches, stop signs and pretty much everything she could. She then hurled the objects through the middle of a sentinel causing it to fall and explode. While she was doing this another sentinel approached from behind her. A cord came out of his hand and he was about to wrap it around the Invisible Woman. Scott saw this and blasted the beasts arms off. "He won't be trying that again anytime soon" Scott said. The invisible woman gave him a thankful nod, and continued her assault. She turned a car invisibile and hurled it right towards a sentinels head. The head came flying off and the Sentinel crashed to the ground. She turned to see Cyclops under attack from 3 sentinels...they all began firing at him in unison. Immediatley she raised an invisible shield around Scott protecting him from the blasts. "I would have been done for if Sue didn't save me with her invisible shield" Cyclops thought "I have to be more careful, or the leader is going to be the first to drop....and what kind of an example would I be setting If I let that happen?" Scott knew that he could have been down for the count right now, face in the mud...and that thought really scared him. What if he did let the team down? What if they fought and fought but just couldn't make it...he had a grim thought of the sentinels out numbering and over powering his friends...He couldn't let that happen...if anyone was going to die it was going to be him...it was his responsibility as leader and he would rather die in battle then let his teammates down. Scott resumed his attack on the sentinels with a new found ferocity. He turned to his left and saw one approaching, he blasted its legs off, and drilled a hole through his chest. Two more approached from above him, he looked up and fired a shot at the sentinels arm, the Sentinel dodged it and returned fire, scott jumped out of the way and did a roll. He regained himself and blasted the sentinel in the neck, blowing his head off, then before he could respond the other sentinel tied up his legs. He was picked up off the ground. Scott looked up at the sentinel and blasted a hole through his chest at point blank range. Scott never realised that fighting to the death could make you feel...........so alive.

[Sparta*]

OOC:Logan never backs down from possible action,so of course Im goin.

Where and who do I go with?

OOC: The Invisible Woman and I just left the blackbird to start the ground attack against the sentinels whiel Cannonball, Archangel, and the Human Toch attack from the air. So your with us Wolverine...start shredding some sentinels!

[JewishHobbit]

OOC: You know what would have been great. If Deadpool were in this fight. He'd be a part of the ground force and spend several posts trying to take down a Sentinel. Then toward the end he'd finally take it out and while everyone's yelling their 300 and 400 counts he proudly yell "1!" with his arm and index finger in the air.


Just a random thought :D

[rigel7soldiers]

6:47 P.M., New York City, somewhere in the diamond district

Kingpin got around to callin' me, and what do I get? I gotta go up against the Punisher. I thought he was jokin' when he told me. But he wasn't. Punisher's got Kingpin's wife, I gotta find Punisher, take him out (which shouldn't be to tough, 'cause I'm pretty sure I'm bulletproof), grab the wife, and get outta there. Hobgoblin might be there too. S'posed ta be helpin' me. Like I can't take out some thug with a gun by myself. But, hey it's work. Just need to find Hobgoblin, 'cause he'll figure out where Punisher is first.

[RoseRedStrauss]

^^" sorry about not being around for awhile. I'm just waiting for bats.

[DarkKnightJRK]

It will take a few hours until Whistler finishes his weapons. I sit in the old room I had before our fight, surprising not so worse for wear. I sit in a lotus position on the bed, focusing on my breathing.

"Deja vu all over again, huh?" I turn and see Alison near next to the door. "I mean, us waiting around until weapons are being made, and here's me, standing next to your door. I just hope this time this joint doesn't drop into New York Bay."

"Yeah, it would be a bit too far inland for that to happen."

"...Uh...may I come in?"

"Can't see why not."

She walks to the bed, looking unconfortable, her mouth slightly open, as though she wants to say something but can't find the words to say. She sits next to me and starts fumbeling around words.

"I...I just came here to say...sorry for...what happened outside...it...it wasn't my place to use...God I suck at this stuff...use the...what happened in your quarters to ask about things."

"It's...it's alright. I...I probably shouldn't have reacted like that. I'm...I suck at this stuff too...but you know what I'm trying to say."

"Yeah...seems like we have a lot in common."

A lot more is said in those words than I think she knows or even I know. Without thinking, I take my hand to her chin, directing her face towards mine. We stare at each other for a moment.

"So...how do you know the old man? Whistler, I think you called him, right?" I put my hand down from her chin, but she seems a lot closer than before and by some act of God my fallen hand is now on her knee.

"Yeah...I met him when I was 12. I was...feeding off the homeless in Boston. He found me, tried to kill me, but it was daytime then, so he knew I was different. He took me in, trained me to be a vampire hunter. He's..."

"A father you never had."

"...Yeah."

She looks at me and she's less than a foot away. How in the hell did she get so close so fast without me noticing? I'm not sure if a small amount of fear in her eyes is hers or the reflection of mine.

Her lips meet mine and all of it washes away. My eyes closing and my arms wrapping themselves around her is a combination of soft relaxation and powerfull need. After a few minutes we break, gasping from that kiss.

"Are...are you sure..."

"Yes. You?"

"...God yes."

We meet again and nothing else matters.

I wake up from my doze and I notice Alison's form lying next to me under the covers. It takes a second before I remember from my sleepy daze what we did. I carefully slip out, trying not to wake her. I reach towards my discarded clothes and start to slip them back on. I just finish zipping my pants when I see her stir from her slumber.

"Hey..." she mumbles.

"...Hey."

"What's going on?"

"I was going back out there, Whistler's probably done with his equipment by now. Hell, they're probably waiting for us as we speak."

"Oh hell. I was enjoying that..." I smirk a bit, she clearly notices, "I meant the sleep, you pervert." She grumply gets up and starts to reach for her clothes. I could swear that I hear her say, "Throwing clothes that far you should have been in the NBL..."

After a few minutes we walk out of my room and head towards the main part of the werehouse, where Whistler, Moss, and Donovan were waiting.

"Took you two long enough," Whistler says, I notice him looking at me and Alison and I small smirk appears on his face, "let's get started."

He shows us the weapons he designed: standard fare mostly, some guns, steaks, portable UV lights, EDTA, and finally, saving perhaps the strangest for last: a van.

"Well, what do you expect?" Whistler says, trying to defend himself, "There's a few of you guys and I needed room to add a few more goodies in. Not to mention..."

"What, Whistler?" I ask.

"Blade, you're going to need all the help you can get, and they were in the neighborhood so..."

"Oh, God, Whistler, don't tell me..." Unfortunately, they tell it for me.

"Greetings, my vampire-hunting bretheren! I heard there was a big vampire apocolypse heading our way, so how could you NOT stop me from coming?"

I turn and look at the man the voice belonged to, a white male, about 25, with a five o-clock shadow, trying to make himself like a badass. Behind him, a woman, about the same age, her hand across her face, slightly embarresed from the man's slightly flamboyant enterance.

"We heard you guys needed some help, but never fear...THE NIGHTSTALKERS ARE HERE!"

OOC: Yes, I'm using the Blade: Trinity version, but only in the broadest sense, so the haters of that movie should not fear. ;)

[Batman]

OOC: The Invisible Woman and I just left the blackbird to start the ground attack against the sentinels whiel Cannonball, Archangel, and the Human Toch attack from the air. So your with us Wolverine...start shredding some sentinels!

OOC:Sounds Good.:up:

IC:

Wolverine had followed Cyclops and Sue from the Blackbird to here.

There was no way in hell he'd miss some of the action.

Just then,3 Sentiniels appeared.

Not wanting to give either Sue or Scott a chance to hog all the glory,Logan did a HUGE flip over their heads.The distance he was getting shocked even himself.

Upon landing,he noticed Scott and Sue were staring at him.They probably didnt even know Wolverine was behind them.

"I got these."

Turning his focus towards the Sentiniels,He leaped towards the closest one,and started shredding its foot.

Within a few seconds,He had tore the Sentiniels foot in half........but didnt leave nearly enough damage.

Noticing the Sentiniel spotted him,He lept onto its foot,and as The Sentiniel readied to fire at him,he dodged.

-BOOM-

The Sentiniel,in the process of trying to shoot Wolverine,shot the rest of its own foot off.

Loosing balance,It collasped ontop of one of the other two.

With one remaining,it opened fire on Wolverine,who dodged the shots as he ran towards the Sentiniel.

Using his claws as a sort of grapple,He climbed up the Sentiniels leg,and eventually made it to its arm.

Scott was already preparing to shoot the damned thing down,as he was reaching for the button on his visor.

Wolverine had to move fast,if he wanted to avoid being fried by Cyclops' optic blast.

He did a flip from where he was,and landed on its shoulder.

Running up to the face,He saw that the Sentiniel was already preparing to attack Scott and Sue.

That wasnt good.

"Peek a boo."

Wolverine sliced his hand right through the eye,and destroyed the controls inside for which he used to control a Sentiniel earlier.

The Sentiniel was already malfunctioning,as it started to twitch and sparks starting flying out.

He started ripping out various wires and control panels,hoping to disable it.

Its at that moment that the Sentiniel started falling.This would make the second or third time Logan had to make an escape from a falling Sentiniel.....

He got out of the eye,only to find that he was falling forwards.

He turned to Cyclops.

"SHOOT IT DOWN!!!"

Cyclops frowed.

"I CANT!!!YOUR ON IT!!!"

"Oh yeah.."

Logan leapt from the tall Sentiniel as Cyclops blasted the top of it into oblivian.

Of course,thats when Logan realised he was falling,and there was nothing to catch him.

This was gonna hurt.

-THUD-

Wolverine managed to land on his back.It hurt like hell,but due to his healing factor,he was recovering fast.

He rolled over to see the fallen Sentiniels.

"Well.....thats 13....."

OOC:Im losing this bet....BADLY...:(

*The figure of Magneto can be seen sitting on one of his Senitnels. He is waiting for someone to go for him*

[Spider-Man9X17]

Johnny plowed through three more Sentinels

"322, 323, 324." Johnny surveyed the situation. His sister and a the others had landed on the ground, but the Blackbird had taken back off. At the moment he still didn't know who was still onboard. Most of the Sentinels had moved away from the bridge now in an attempt to slow the heroes process. This had left Magneto relatively open, but could he really leave the others to confront him. The Blackbird had the magnetic shield, so it should be safe.

The others could handle it, he had faith, but he wasn't going to back out on them now. Johnny turned and torched 3 more Sentinels as the Blackbird neared the bridge.

[Warrior]

The Chameleon walked down the New York streets. He had been staying out of public since the Kingpin's party. This was mainly to avoid the press. He didn't like the press and Fisk was better at dealing with them than he was anyhow so he let the Kingpin handle the media.

He was going to see the Kingpin because he had heard about his wife being threatened by the Green Goblin and everyone was looking for her. He figured that he could probably offer his specialties somewhere in the search.

He found the Kingpin talking to the Green Goblin and came strolling in to find out what the Kingpin wanted him to do to help.

[JewishHobbit]

OOC: May I make a suggestion? I don't know why but I think it would be best if a member of the X-Men go after Magneto himself instead of a member of the Fantastic Four. It just feels more right :)

[Nancy-Twin]

OOC: I think there's one X-man and One F4 member going together.

[Sparta*]

OOC: Yeah, Reed and Hank are going to try and talk some sense into Magneto in the blackbird....and if that doesn't work....then we have to attack him or whatever.

OOC2: Hey nancy, did you read my post where we were double teamign the sentinels? If I bunnied you to much I can go back and chage it, I wasn't sure if you'd be cool with it or not so i tried to do it really minimally.

[Silver S]

Time had passed between now and Fisk’s party, which had gone to the dogs the minute Green Goblin had shown up. It was a shame, William had thought, that Green Goblin was beaten within the first few minutes of blasting through the wall. He didn’t think five to one were exactly fair odds, but then again he had a distorted view of morals and principles anyway. It was alright to beat the snot out of a guy when you knew you were at least going to walk away feeling like you’d gotten into a fight. All William could remember of that night was burning his hand and getting into some bad liquor. Everything else was a smear of a memory. He did remember talking to Electro. About what, he couldn’t remember. And Ock had disappeared again, apparently bored with the lack of flair at the fight as well.

William turned off the faucet to the shower and stepped out, reaching for a towel that hung on a rack just behind the door to the bathroom. Somehow Allison hadn’t noticed the burns on his hand from when he’d thrown the pumpkin bomb off his shirt, and he intended to keep her in the dark as long as possible. He already knew she wouldn’t accept any of the money he offered her from the job with Ock. Dirty money, she called it. There was a clanging sound from the shower stall and he glanced over reflexively. Old apartment housing. Old plumbing. Another clanging sound and then silence. Wrapping the towel around his waist, William reached up and plucked a razor from the shelf next to the fogged mirror. He wiped one hand down the mirror to clear it and dropped the razor as he saw someone else’s reflection. A someone he recognized almost immediately.

“What the – ” he started to exclaim, and just barely dodged out of the way as the man behind him swung, missing his face and smashing the mirror to shards. Stumbling backwards and out of bathroom, William tripped over his shoes he’d thrown to the floor before showering. He hurriedly got his feet as the man inside the bathroom gave him a cocky grin, his shimmering, liquid body nearly see-through as he took another step forward.

“For Christ’s sake – what are you doing here?!” he snapped, backing around to the other side of the unmade bed in the bedroom. Hydroman leaned against the doorframe to the bathroom and folded his arms, small trickles of water running down the frame and onto the carpet on the floor. “Thought I’d see how you were doing, pal,” he replied, glancing around the room. “See you’ve got yourself a nice little set up here,” he continued, nodding to the picture frame on the dresser beside the doorway. “And a lady friend, too, I guess?” William didn’t take his eyes off him as he picked up a pair of pants from off the bed, not responding. Hydroman tapped his fingers to his forehead and turned around respectfully.

“Oh go on and get dressed. Not like I don’t know what that looks like,” he quipped as William pulled on the pants and tossed the towel to the floor, shaking his head. “I’ll ask you again, what the hell are you doing here?” he said in a low growl. Hydroman turned back around and smiled. “I already told you why I’m here. Just checking in. Thought it would be nice to see how you were handling living out in the real world again,” he said. William glanced at the bedside table where he knew there was a revolver stashed in the last drawer. “Not like me though. You didn’t care to see if I’d gotten away at that little incident at Ryker’s, didja?” he asked, the smile still plastered on his face. William’s brow furrowed and he narrowed his eyes at the intruder, who took another step forward, the wet carpet squishing under his feet.

“But hey, no hard feelings. You got out and I got thrown back inside. Fair enough, I guess. You know what they do to you when you try and escape but don’t make it, right?” he said through clenched teeth, the smile now more of a sneer as he stepped right up to the side of the bed, soaking the blankets through. “You know what they do? They beat the s**t out of you. They break your legs for fun. And they smash your face in until you can’t see anymore,” he said, pulling back his lip and pointing to the gaping holes in his gums. “And they ripped out my molars. Any idea how much that hurts, Flint? Any idea at all? And then, as the icing on the cake, then they leave you in solitary confinement for two weeks just to make sure you’ve got nothing else to do…but focus on how much you hurt.”

William curled his hands into fists at his sides. “What makes you think I give a damn what they do to you,” he snapped. Hydroman kept his eyes on William as he reached over to the table at his side and picked up a picture frame that held a photo of Allison. The time they’d gone on vacation. Years ago. William stiffened and Hydroman saw it. He flipped the frame towards him and a twisted smile replaced the sneer.

“But you give a damn about her, don’t you?” he said softly, dropped the now dripping frame onto the bed. William looked away. Allison hadn’t answered her cellphone earlier that day. And she hadn’t been here when he’d come back that morning. God damnit. This is what he got. This is exactly what he knew he was risking when he had dealings with scum like this. He looked back up under a heavy brow at Hydroman and tried to keep himself from turning into Sandman, out of control, in complete hatred.

“Well, aren’tcha gonna turn into the Sandman? Aren’tcha gonna attack me?” he said, and then feigned a look of surprise. “Oh. That’s right. That doesn’t do any good against me, does it?” he said solemnly. William ground his jaws together and fought to keep control.

“What do you want?”

[Spider-Man9X17]

Two more Sentinels fell, plowing through a deserted office building.

"I'd hate to be the one who has to foot the bill for this," Johnny said as the Sentinels shattered to pieces. "I wonder how much of this I can blame on Ben."

At that moment below, The Thing tackled a Sentinel to the ground, and then crushed its chest to pieces.

Ah, there's, let's see, ninety." Ben said to himself. He hopped of the downed robot, and then felt the ground behind him shake. Ben barely had time to turn when hit was hit with a sentinel cannonblast. The Thing flew across the plaza, crashing into the Sentinels Johnny just destroyed.

"Oh, whatta revoltin' development," he groaned.

The Sentinel that attacked Ben fired another blast at the heroes. Sue managed to throw up a forcefield in time, but the feedback sent her to the ground in an unconscious heap.

The Sentinel approached the fallen hero, locking her in its sites.

"Target Indentified. Terminate." The robot lifted its arm, aiming its cannon at Sue.

"Back off ass-clown," Johnny plowed through the center of the Sentinel. "Nobody, and I mean NOBODY messes with my sister and gets away with it." The Sentinel collapsed to the ground, and Johnny landed, cradling his sister's head n his arms.

Sue moaned, and slowly opened her eyes.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine, baby brother. Just a little headache," Sue got to her feet, brushing herself off. "And a lot pissed off."

"That's the ol' Storm spirit," Johnny laughed as he flamed back on.

He and Sue took down another pair of Sentinels each before he rejoined the air attack.

OOC: i am going on vacation until may 15th. i have given a few people permission to bunny me in order to move the story along.

[MST3K 4ever]

Bullseye was rolling around on the floor in agony. With a hacking cough, he spat out more blood and a couple of teeth. All that dental work he'd got done had been pretty redundant then. That thought started him laughing, even though laughing hurt like hell with his damaged ribs and his ravaged mouth and everything else.

Bullseye sat up with a pained sigh. He glared at Daredevil, knowing that it was only a matter of time before the son of a ****** bled out. But he also knew that he himself only had a few more hits left in him before he was spent. Here they were, both half-dead from beating the hell out of each other. Bullseye was sure that, if this was a movie, this would be the point where they went through the whole mutual respect crap. But that's what it was: crap. He didn't respect Daredevil. He wasn't going to shake his hand when this was all over and say "The best man won." because in his heart, Bullseye didn't respect him.

No, the truth was, he hated Daredevil, hated him everything he stood for, hated him for getting in his way all the time, hated him for just...being alive. And all that hate came brimming to the surface as he started blabbering about Elektra, Karen and MJ. Who was he, who was this...piece of crap, to talk about his Mary-Jane, his sweet Mary-Jane?

"Get even for MJ? Heh, okay, go ahead. Beat the hell outta me. But when you're done, make sure you go and find Peter Parker, and do the same to him. He's just as responsible for Mary-Jane's death as I am. If it wasn't for him letting her into his life, if it wasn't for him failing to rescue her, she'd still be alive today."

Bullseye began to stand up, grabbing on the railing at the side of the pier to try and scramble to his feet. He was getting angrier, more hateful, by the second.

"And don't you realise, Daredevil, that the same thing applies with you? Not with Elektra, no. She signed her death warrant the day she tried to upstage me. But that crack whore in the church, the blood's on your hands. Hell, she was killed by YOUR billclub, and was killed by a hit that was meant for YOU! We both killed her. So yeah, I lie in my bed at night, and I know where I'm going to be spendin' eternity, but you know what, Devil? You and Parker both deserve to be down there, burnin' right alongside me."

Bullseye was now standing, even though he was leaning on the railing to stay that way.

"So I can kill you, or you can kill me, but the fact remains that we're flipsides of the same coin. We're just as bad as each other, so don't start with all your sanctimonious bull..."

Before he could even finish his sentence, the railing gave way. Bullseye toppled over the side and into the water below. He sputtered around briefly, trying to swim back towards the framework of the pier, but he was too weak from the battle. With one last desperate gasp, he vanished under the water.

Daredevil heard Bullseye hit the water. "NOOOOOO!!!!!!! BULLSEYE!!!! NOOOO!!!! ", he cried out. No he is not getting away that easily...NO! He fired his Billyclub into the water, but what for. He was so exhausted he seriously doubted he could get him out of the water, and if Bullseye grabbed the cable he'd pull Daredevil in with him. He pulled the cable out of the water. "I had him finally...I had him," he said outloud to the night. He didn't hear a heartbeat in the water, and in fact he barely heard his own.

He hated to admit to himself, but Bullseye did have a point...they really were flip-sides of the same coin. But all of the crap about Elektra, Karen & MJ...to him that served as nothing more than motivation to get even with Bullseye even more, but also served to remind him of something else...he failed three people who were counting on him to save them from that psycho. Daredevil vomited all over the place and then began limping away.

I have got to find away to get some medical attention. Before shock begins to set in.

He fired his cable and began to swing away into the city. He just gets inside of the city, lands on a rooftop and collapses to the sounds of a battle raging on between a group of sentinels and another group.

OOC Post

Just to clarify, back in the first Russian Roulette post, I stated we were in a warehouse out on the pier, hence the water. I thought it would be best to end hte fight now, since my exams start next week, and I might not be able to post for a few days.

I just want to say that I greatly enjoyed that fight, MST3K 4Ever, and I thank you for taking part in it with me.


Yeah the water ending makes the most sense....I had thought about that as well.

Keyser...I have done a lot of RPG fights over the years...this one ranks in my top 3 of all time without a doubt. It was a blast and I enjoyed it a lot....good luck with your exams.

[SuperFerret]

Hank turned to Reed as the Blackbird lifted off once again.

"Reed, are you sure you want to remain here? Magneto will probably tear this jet apart once he spots us. If you want to go I'll understand completely, you have a wife and children and if something happened to you, I don't want to be responsible."

[swingerbone]

Reed sat beside his blue-furred companion.

"It is true I have a family... but could I sit idly by while a presidential candidate risks his life? No, I could not. Two big brains may be better than one... and I'm pretty durable thanks to my fantastic powers. If push comes to shove I can form a parachute that just might get us to the ground relatively unscathed should Magneto rip the Blackbird apart."

[SuperFerret]

"Reed, there's one more thing you should know. Two days ago, while I was recovering from my first assassination attempt, I was contacted by Magneto. He offered to fund my campaign, and I accepted, foolishly believing that he harbored good intentions. I plan on voiding that deal now, but I thought you should know, since you're coming along. And please keep it to yourself."

[Spider-Man9X17]

"One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR!!"

Johnny scorched four more Sentinels. He realized how dire the current situation was, but that didn't keep him from having a little fun. And he was having fun, Human Torch style. Ben had recovered and was now on a berserker rampage. At the moment he was using a disconnected Sentinel arm as a bat, clubbing away at the leg of another Sentinel. Sue took down three of her own at one, using force fields to short circuit the main power sources. Johnny landed on the shoulder of one of the robots, whistling loudly to draw attention to himself. Three more Sentinels turned. Seeing the flaming hero, they raised their cannons and fired. Johnny moved in time, and the Sentinel he was on was blown to pieces in the crossfire. The remaining three didn't get off easy either, as they were also obliterated by cannonblast crossfire.

"Ha, Suckers!!"

Johnny picked his next victim and flew off towards it, wondering what he would do with all the extra money he was going to win.

"That was before these events... Magneto has been benevolent before. I can find no fault in a man who looks for the best in people. Surely your experiences as an X-Man and Avenger have served you well. I respect your honesty. And my lips, as they say, are sealed."

"Thank you for understanding." Hank replied, "And now that the After School Special is over with, let's do what we came here for."

The Blackbird shot away, flying towards Magneto.

[Midnight Ice]

OOC: You know what would have been great. If Deadpool were in this fight. He'd be a part of the ground force and spend several posts trying to take down a Sentinel. Then toward the end he'd finally take it out and while everyone's yelling their 300 and 400 counts he proudly yell "1!" with his arm and index finger in the air.


Just a random thought :D
OOC: LMAO!!!!!!! :xmen:

I have a post in the OOC: thread that should be read.

IC: Iceman finishes with the sentinals attacking him and Colossus and looks to the sky and sees Arcangel being followed by two of the robots in the air."Hey Colossus, I'm gonna go help Warren, try not to get yourself into too much trouble. I can't be savin you all the time" Iceman says jokingly as he glides up towards Arcangel and the sentinals.

"Warren, behind you!" Iceman yells as he freezes the jets on the bottom of the sentinals feet, causing him to crash into his partner, sending them both to their doom.

OOC:I read it.....and I liked it!:) Awsome Job, I don't think you bunnied me too much. I've been wanting Sue to get more action anyway and since I've got school now, I'd love it if she was just doing some double-team work for now. I'll join back on at like 2:30.

"Johnny it is"

"The last time that I saw Hobby take off was near the tunnel, let's go that way"

Sable hopes on to Johnny's mototcycle and they take off

With the feeling of silver sable behind him Johnny beings to remember the feeling of his wife behind as they would ride just fror no reason. Thgough now it seems since he has become ghost rider those times have stopped

" So why are you hunting this hobgoblin character i have heard about some of the stuff that he has done. But for what of those many reasons are you chasing him"

[Spider-Man9X17]

"I could buy a lot of tacos," Johnny said to himself as another Sentinel exploded. "You can never have too many tacos. Hell, maybe I'll just buy Mexico."

Two more Sentinels converged on Johnny. He quickly melted both of their heads, and scorched a third on on the distance.

"400!" Johnny yelled as he jetted off to find some more.

Down below, Ben picked up a discarded fire hydrant and launched it at the head of a nearby Sentinel. The hydrant smashed into the side of the head, lodging itselg in place. The Sentinel turned, spotting Ben and preparing to fire. It hesitated for a moment, began to sputter, and then collapsed to the ground.

"99!" The Thing yelled as he barrled towards the next robot.

[Electro UK]

Max hoped onto the nearest builiding. Bullseye didn't seem to be anywhere. As he sat for a rest, he heard a huge row going on. Looking over the side, he saw Bullseye dissapear under the water, and Daredevil swing off. "Found him" Max said hoping down to the ground.

He ran along the pier to where he'd seen Bullseye vanish. He couldn't reach him from where he was. He was going to have to get wet. He dived into the water, hands first. Bullseye was much further down, struggling for breath. With all the strength in his body, Max swam down towards Bullseye, but he seemed to just go further and further down.

He was running out of breath. He swam back up and immediately took in a huge deep breath before shouting out "BULLSEYE!". He watched as he saw the black costume of his friend fade from his site. No it wasn't going to happen like this, Bullseye was NOT going to die.

Taking a huge breath, Max went back under, kicking his legs and waving his arms in a fury. After seconds that seemed an eternity, Max could just make out Bullseye. Kicking his legs with so much power, that Namor would be impressed with his speed, he grabbed Bullseye and headed for the top, fast.

Seconds later, the calm surface of the water was disturbed by Max Dillon breaking out taking huge breaths. Keeping Bullseye's head above the water, he swam to the side and flang Bullseye up. He climbed out himself and paused for a few seconds to catch his breath.

He looked at Bullseye, his eyes were closed "...no!" Max let out a shout. He ran to Bullseye side and started giving Bullseye quick shoks like they did in hospitals. "Come on Bullseye," he thought to himself "Come on..."

[Harlekin]

"Gonna have to do better than that Ben!" Sam yelled as he destroyed Sentinel #399, and barreled further to decimate more and more Sentinels. Bio-kinetic blasts, just plain flyin' through, slamming heads off, but what Sam really wanted in a situation like this one was an adamantium baseball-bat.

[Batman]

No sooner than three minutes after he destroyed three Sentiniels,Wolverine was already being surrounded by six.Not only that,but there were at least ten more heading for him.

He liked that.

"The More.....The Merrier."

-Snikt-

He leapt onto one of them and started shredding his way through the leg.But this time,he wasnt going inside.Instead,he was just going to rip it apart....and he did.

He leapt towards another one as the first one came crashing down.

Instead of attacking the second one,he kicked off of it,and spun in mid air.....and sliced the hell out of the third one.

By the time he was done,he had sliced all the way through the chest of the third one.

The second one began shooting at him,and he dodged every shot.He ran towards the fourth and fifth ones,and dodged,causing the second one to destroy the fourth and fifth ones.

Now,all he had to do was destroy the second one and move on.

Thinking about it for a second,he leaped in front of it,and before it could fire,he ripped the circuits out of the sides of its foot.

The circuits were giving off sparks and electricity,and Logan used thast to his advantage.

He jammed the wires into the leg of the Sentiniel,and electocuted it.

It went down,hard,and Wolverine smiled.

He was more than ready for the other ten.

OOC:Sentiel count:19.

[Nightwing.]

Gambit hadnt got off the blackbird.he remained in the shadows.he wanted to get as close to magneto as he could. he was hoping wolverine had the same idea but the cajun watched Logan head for the sentinel war. He came out from the shadows and sat next to hank in the co -pilot seat. Gambit "ok hank. i gotta feeling Magneto aint gonna want to destroy all of our efforts to stop him.he likes a challenge.we gotta get this crate as close to him as possible. with all luck hell let the sentinels head for the blackbird.you need to be a decoy.i want him alone. Oh and i think you need to rally with sue reed.see if she can scan the area underground for juggernaut.if she can make the land invisible she should be able to find him quite quickly.if hes doing what i think hes doing then San Fransisco and maybe half of america could be in trouble." he then paused. Hank looked over as if to ask him what he was thinking. "I been thinking Hank. what if this is one of magnetos games? i mean hes sat not to far from silicon valley and if i aint mistaken the sentinel program is gonna need the chips made there for their machines.what if Magneto is planning on destroying the sentinels?hes done it before. i gotta feeling this ol' dogs got some new tricks. he may well be planning on destroying the sentinels in his own way. the whole battle is just a big scene. i mean do we even know who the sentinels are targeting.theyre all just following eric. the hell with it. just get me there asap.ill ask him myself."

and with that Remy strapped himself in and gazed out the front window in a hopes to see magnetos silhouette above the bridge.

OOC: this is just a wild stab in the dark batvlekar hope i aint ruinin your plan.also am i actually on the black bird with hank or is someone else flying it.if so then tell me and ill edit the name.

OOC:i think Gambits only taken out like two or three.

Johnny took down two more Sentinels before landing on the ground below. He was bordering on exhuastion and needed to give his flames a moment or two to regenerate. He ducked behind a pile of rubble, taking a minute to sit down, and make a call.

-

"Incoming transmission," Crystal announced, flipping on the intercomm.

"...anyone there?"

"We're here Johnny. What's up?"

"Takin' a little break here, thought I'd check in and catch you guys up."

"Is everyone ok?"

"Yeah, we're all fine down here, but this whole mess, it's a lot bigger than any of us ever imagined. This could get pretty ugly here soon, and I need you to be on stand-by Crys."

"Why? Johnny, what's going on?"

"Not sure yet, but we all have our suspicions. I'll explain if the time comes. Just be ready, please."

"You know I will be."

"Frankie there?"

"She stepped out for a moment. Her and the kids went to the mess chamber for some food."

"You tell her to hang tough, and that I love her. I'll be in touch. Johnny Storm, over and out."
-

Johnny switched off his commlink. He was feeling a lot better already. Grabbing a water bottle from an overturned vendor cart, he chugged the contents down in seconds before reflaming and taking back to the air. He quickly found a little fray to get into, melting a hole through the head of one Sentinel, and plowing througn two more.

"439," he noted mentally. "I wonder if the Bahamas are for sale."

[Sparta*]

"Iceman, Archangel, form up on me" Cyclops said as his two fellow X-men approached him. "Alright, us 3 are going to stick together. We will be far more effective that way. I want you two constantly moving...hit and run, set them up and we'll knock em' down" Cyclops said. "Alright Scott, you've never let us down before" Warren replied taking off into the air. "I hope you can keep up with me Scott, these tinheads haven't seen anything Iceman can do yet!" Bobby said turning around to see 2 sentinels approaching. They opened fire on Iceman, but they greatly underestimated their opponent. Iceman threw up a thick icewall infront of him in an instant. The blasts were deflected away from Iceman. Iceman then froze the first sentinels arms, and the second sentinels head. Archangel came swooping down from above and shattered the second sentinels frozen head with the side of his wing, and Cyclops shot the first Sentinel through the chest."Yeah! Hows that for in and out Cyke?" Warren said floating in the air infront of Iceman and Cyclops. "Keep that up guys and we might actually survive this encounter!" Cyclops said right before being shot at by 2 new sentinels. He jumped out of the way of the shots. "I got your back Cyke!" Iceman said forming a huge ice spyre that portuded from the ground. "Alright Warren, let's do this just like we practised in the danger room!" Iceman said staring at the massive ice spyre he just created. "Alright, Bobby" Archangel said flying inbetween the sentinels with his wings full spread.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y58/sparta26/archangelcoo.bmp
His wings sliced the sentinels open, and knocked them forward. The first one fell directly onto the ice spyre. It cut through the middle of his chest like a warm knife through butter. The second sentinel wobbled a bit, but then followed suit and was skewered by the giant dagger sticking out of the ground as well. "How about that?" said Archangel to Iceman "I guess all that training did pay off!" he said with a smirk. "Behind you Warren!" Cyclops said blasting a sentinel in half that was about to open fire on Warren. "Stop playing around you two! this is serious, you guys need to stay attent" Cyclops said sternly and in a leaderly tone. Cyclops didnt like saying stuff like that.....but he did it out of concern for his team mates. He couldn't watch them all the time...they had to pay attention to what they were doing...he isn't one to talk though...wasn't it him that would have been out of the battle right now if it wasn't for the quick thinking of the Invisible Woman? "Hmmppff" Cyclops thought to himself "I guess even I have a lot to learn". Cyclops' thoughts were cut short when Ten sentinels approached and surrounded the 3 X-men. They immediatley spread out, Warren dived into the air, Iceman formed an iceslide up to the top of a sentinels head and Cyclops rolled to the side behind another sentinel. Iceman slid around two sentinels all the way to the ground and formed an ice barrier around them, locking them together. Archangel swooped towards the tied up sentinels and put them out of their misery by unleashing a deadly barrage of his razor feathers from his wings into both sentinels at once. As they were falling Cyclops blasted one of the falling sentinels into another sentinel directly beside it and they both fell down and exploded.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y58/sparta26/post-11-1092312613.jpg
"3 down, 7 to go!" Iceman shouted as he slid by another sentinel and shot out an arsenal of ice blades. The blades cut through the sentinels head and it crashed down to the ground. As he was preparing to fire at another sentinel Iceman was hit from behind. He began to plummet to the ground, but before he hit the ground, Archangel swooped down and caught him. "You gotta be more careful Iceman" Warren said "I can't catch you everytime" Iceman was expecting him to flash a smirk, but he seemed dead serious "wow, I guess Cyke is rubbing off on him" Bobby thought to himself, as Archangel dropped him off on the ground "But he did have a point...I know I am powerful...but I have to make sure I don't get over confident because that will be my downfall" Iceman turned to see Cyclops blasting at 2 sentinels. The first one got blasted right through the neck. His head blasted off and crashed to the ground. The second one got its arms blasted off, and then its legs. It fell to the ground as a pile of scrap metal. "Speaking of power...." Bobby thought while looking at Cyclops taking out two sentinels with ease "Scott is full of it. I would never want to be on the recieving side of his optic blast" Bobby smirked...it's a good thing he would never have to be. "Snap out of it Bobby" Warren said as he swooped down and dived right through the middle of a sentinel, cutting it in half with his wings. "We have work to do...only 3 sentinels left" Warren paused for a second...and looked up...."yeah...3 sentinels...and then the hundreds more that are still flying around in the air...will this ever end?" he thought to himself "Is Magneto so vain that he would risk all this destruction just to achieve his dream?" He thought. He wanted to say no, but Magneto has proved time and time again, he may act like an ally sometimes, but deep down he is a villain, tried and true.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y58/sparta26/post-11-1095409109.jpg
Iceman froze two out of three of the remaining sentinels feet to the ground. They were sitting ducks as Cyclops unleashed his optic blast from left to right, slicing them both through the middle. Their torsos crashed to the ground but their legs still stood frozen solid. The very last sentinel from the group of ten approached. Iceman tapped into his deepest freezing ability and froze the sentinel solid from the ground up. Archangel saw this and flew down towards the sentinel. He flew full speed towards the sentinel and crashed through the middle of it. The beast shattered into a thousand frozen metal pieces. "Good work you two" Cyclops said. "We are learning how to use our powers to help eachother out...that is the only way we will succeed against Magneto and his brotherhood in the final battle..."

[Sparta*]

Gambit hadnt got off the blackbird.he remained in the shadows.he wanted to get as close to magneto as he could. he was hoping wolverine had the same idea but the cajun watched Logan head for the sentinel war. He came out from the shadows and sat next to hank in the co -pilot seat. Gambit "ok hank. i gotta feeling Magneto aint gonna want to destroy all of our efforts to stop him.he likes a challenge.we gotta get this crate as close to him as possible. with all luck hell let the sentinels head for the blackbird.you need to be a decoy.i want him alone. Oh and i think you need to rally with sue reed.see if she can scan the area underground for juggernaut.if she can make the land invisible she should be able to find him quite quickly.if hes doing what i think hes doing then San Fransisco and maybe half of america could be in trouble." he then paused. Hank looked over as if to ask him what he was thinking. "I been thinking Hank. what if this is one of magnetos games? i mean hes sat not to far from silicon valley and if i aint mistaken the sentinel program is gonna need the chips made there for their machines.what if Magneto is planning on destroying the sentinels?hes done it before. i gotta feeling this ol' dogs got some new tricks. he may well be planning on destroying the sentinels in his own way. the whole battle is just a big scene. i mean do we even know who the sentinels are targeting.theyre all just following eric. the hell with it. just get me there asap.ill ask him myself."

and with that Remy strapped himself in and gazed out the front window in a hopes to see magnetos silhouette above the bridge.

OOC: this is just a wild stab in the dark batvlekar hope i aint ruinin your plan.also am i actually on the black bird with hank or is someone else flying it.if so then tell me and ill edit the name.

Gambit, Beast, and Mr.Fantastic are on the blackbird approaching Magneto. The Human Torch, The Invisible Woman, The Thing, Cyclops, Wolverine, Archangel, Iceman, and Colossus are doing the ground attack.

[Keyser Soze]

OOC: Thank you very much for the compliment MST3K 4Ever. Look forward to the rematch!

Bullseye sputtered back to life, coughing up bloody spurts of foul New York water. He was alive. For now. And then he realised that Daredevil was alive too. He instinctively grabed Electro by the throat.

"Where is he? WHERE IS HE!?"

The look on Electro's face told him he didn't know. Giving an agonised roar, Bullseye released his grip on him, slumping back onto the ground.

"I had the bastard, I had him."

With that, Bullseye passed out.

[Electro UK]

A relieved Max wiped Bullseye's blood off his face. He had no idea what he was going to do now. He looked around for something he could use. Over in the street he saw Bullseye's van. He slouched Bullseye over his should and walked over to the van.

Opening the back, he laid Bullseye down and got into the drivers seat. The only place he could think to go right now was home so he drove off. A while later, the van pulled up outside Max's place. The door to his apatment swung open. Max entered his bedroom and laid Bullseye on his bed. "There you are," He thought to himself "Not much but it'll have to do."

Max then went into his crummy little kitchen, and found a bag of potato chips and a budwiser. He sat down in his chair, and began to watch T.V

*Magneto closes in on his target as his Sentinels fight back against the X-Men and the Fantastic Four*

[Sparta*]

OOC: Holy distraction Batman! haha I'm interested to see what your going to pull Magneto :D

[Rizpower]

The HOBGOBLIN was tired of waiting. He had been ghosting the Punisher for hours, he couldn't bother with it any longer.

In a second, he hit the burners on his glider and moved into an offensive posture, he didn't want to take any chances and from long range fired a paralyzing electric bolt.

At full speed he scooped up the screaming wife of a crime boss. She was in shock and flailing like crazy. No way to conduct a fight. Rhino was on his way, he'd pick up the pieces of the Punisher.

Within 5 seconds of his appearance, he was leaving at top speed. They had solved this crisis.

[Rizpower]

OOC: Apparantly I'm bunnying the Kingpin for the next few days, while dtorn isn't around.

The Hobgoblin entered the basement with Vanessa in tow. It would seem dangerous to most men, but most men weren't the Kingpin of Crime.

"Listen hear, Osborn. You were totally disarmed, and searched before we put you in there. You honestly think we'd miss a radio detonator for an explosive device?! Simply ludicrous. There's an inhibitor in the cell blocking all radio signals. I just wanted to know what it did, out of idle curiosity. Now that I know, I'll have the good sense to right your wrong."

Fisk walked behind Vanessa and indeed confirmed some sort of foreign object.

"Vanessa, go to the 32nd floor, a doctor will help deal with this......I'm.....terribly sorry for what has happened....."

He stepped back to Norman Osborn's cell. He opened the door. Wandering over to the battered form of a major super villain, he grabbed him, and put him in a bear hug. And squeezed.

"I COULD CRUSH YOU INTO DUST, OSBORN!! I've had you in my reach for days, and we've just been TOYING with you! I however was not suprised by your reaction. And with the notable exception of your bringing my wife into this, I expected your every move."

He let down the Goblin. And stepped out of the holding celll.

"It's over now Osborn. You are BEYOND weakened. You are barely alive. And now....you're free to go."

He tossed Norman his costume, save for all it's weapons and technology. And his mask.

"You have been hurt as much as can be expected physically. Now, you will go out into the world to see how much you can be hurt otherwise. You are being watched. Don't try anything stupid. An attempt to cover up your other half would not go unpunished. Now, leave now."

The Hobgoblin simply watched as Fisk did something that must be infinitely harder than they once assumed. They were letting him go to see what the world would do to him.

And it was going to be lots of fun.

7:54 P.M., New York City

I found Punisher, but he didn't have the wife. Hobgoblin musta gotten here first. Damn, this was s'posed ta be fun. Now all I can do is take down the Punisher, just for laughs. Think I'll bring him to Kingpin. I'll bet he's got some idea what ta do with 'im.
I jump out from behind 'im, an' he starts shootin' at me. But that don't do no good on Rhino. I knock 'im on tha head, and he goes out like a light. I grab him and head for Kingpin's pad. This is gettin' interestin'...

My first thought when I saw the Rhino coming at me was do I have a big enough gun to take him down?
Frank rest on the shoulder of the Rhino.
Turns out no.
Blood drips from his skull and onto the Rhinos back.
I'm not awake yet I can still smell something.
Its a smell I know all to well. The smell of blood.

Vietnam.
A young Frank signals to a group of men to move up through a vast jungle.
There nearly compleat silent as they move.
Most of these men had been drafted but not Frank he came here at will.

They all keep moving through the night thoughts of their loved ones in their mind.
At least that was the case for frank, his mind was set on Maria.
The thought of here voice, the thought of her face, her smell, all of it was swirling around in his mind in the tornado that is love.
On the outside a madness but on the inside a calm.
*BLAM!!!*
A bullet rips through the throat of the man next to Frank and someone in the darkness yells.
"SNIPER!! GET DOWN!!"
Frank drops down next to the body.
The blood flows out onto the ground and onto Frank and for hours he lays there in the blood until he finally gets to sleep.
*CARSH*
I awake from the sodden jolt of being dropped onto the ground.
Where I am I don't know all I know is I'm alive and thats all that matters.

~No need for a comm-link. Thanks for the heads up Johnny, but I'm staying here. Until you start fighting a flesh and blood Magneto I'm going to stand my ground. If I keep a psi-link with you I can travel to L.A. through the astral plane and be there in the blink of an eye...literally.~

*Nate is still facing President Kelly.*

"The decision is still yours, Kelly."

Kelly: That's President Kelly, boy.

"I'm not a citizen of this country...or any country. You're not my president, but you are to a lot of my friends and people are depending on you."
Kelly: You don't understand how things work. I'm trying to save the world.

"By killing mutants?"

Kelly: That is the threat.

~Look through my eyes.~

Kelly: What are you....

*Nate shows President Kelly the destruction of Genosha. Kelly bears witness to children lying dead in the street. He feels the emotions of a mother's scream as she races to push her child out of the way of a sentinel blast only to burned to the bone herself.*

~Is this a threat, Mr. President? Did these people deserve to die in their own country for no reason?

*Nate shows Kelly Genosha before the attack. Nate shows him the rural country side where families of mutants are farming. Nate shows him Michael Madrox as he is leaving his boat and takes the first steps of a life of his own, the hope in his eyes.*

~These people did nothing wrong. And that is what they are, people...like me....and you.~

Kelly: You're...you're right. What can I do?

[The Joker]

OOC: Yes I'm back.After talking to Electroflare I decided this RPG needs an Octavius ;) And awaaaaaaaay we go.

IC: Ock had returned back to his old family home and threw his coat on a chair and sat down.He removed his shades and rubbed his eyes.

What an evening it has been.But it was all worth it.Norman Osborn is down for the count.The Kingpin and Hobgoblin will destroy him on every level.And it was thanks to Octavius that he was captured in the first place.

The score is settled with Osborn.And now it was time to put his real plan into action.Sandman was gone.He served his purpose.Did Ock really need him for his future plan?? No.This was a pleasure he planned all for himself.Electro was another nuissance he also shook off quickly.The underworld and the hero's all think I've gone into hiding.Into temporary seclusion.HA they wish.But he did need the help of someone else.........Wilson Fisk.

And knowing the Kingpin he only ever did business if there was something to be gained out of it for him.A man after Ock's heart.

And there was only one thing Ock could think of that he could offer Kingpin that would be beneficial to both of them.........Spider-Man

[MST3K 4ever]

Daredevil struggled to get to his feet, but this was a case of the spirit being willing and the flesh being weak. I have to move....I can't stay here....I am not about to die on a roof top alone.

Daredevil got to his feet and staggered to the edge of the rooftop. He attatched his billyclub cable to a water pipe and repelled down into an alley below. He retracted his cable and promptly collapsed. He laid in the alley and began to reach out his hand. He said, "Elektra" and passed out.

[Warrior]

The Chameleon walked over to the side and listened to the Kingpin releasing the Green Goblin. He wondered what would become of this. Suddenly he glanced out the window to see a huge figure running towards the Kingpin's office. As it came closer he saw that it was the Rhino carrying another man who he did'nt know.

He turned and said to the Kingpin," It looks like Rhino is coming and he isn't empty handed. He's got a new prisoner."

"Any new jobs you want me to do?" He asked the Kingpin.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"I hope this is over soon," Johnny thought as he weaved his way through wreckage that was once the streets of San Fancisco. "I'm running out of jokes."

Another Sentinel appeared from around the corner. Johnny blasted its head with the heat of the sun, evaporating it more so than melting it.

"I'm probably going to have to open up another bank account, too."

Johnny was 3 Sentinels away from the 500 mark. A lot, to be sure, but considering how many Magneto had at his disposal, 500 wasn't even a drop in the bucket. And Juggernaut was still on the loose somewhere, possibly waiting to turn California into an island.

"I need to start taking a lot more sick days," he mumbled, taking out another Sentinel.

[Silver Sable]

With the feeling of silver sable behind him Johnny beings to remember the feeling of his wife behind as they would ride just fror no reason. Thgough now it seems since he has become ghost rider those times have stopped

" So why are you hunting this hobgoblin character i have heard about some of the stuff that he has done. But for what of those many reasons are you chasing him"

Johnny has to yell so he can be heard over the roar of the hell fire cycle.

OOC hey sable I will not be able to get back on till monday so I will tty then .

OOC:No problem

"He and I have a lot of issues, We've been fighting for a while" yelled Sable back

"Make a right here Johnny"

[batnkevlar]

ooc: btw, do you guys wanna keep blwoing up Sentinels? Cuz if you want, you can keep doing that... or have Hank come and talk to me...

[Priest]

OOC: I'm ready to get this story on the road.

[Spider-Man9X17]

Ben Grimm stood, behind a large pile of rubble, at the top of a hill, looking down at a group of 6 or 7 Sentinels patrolling around the bottom. Just in front of him was another Sentinel, but he had yet to notice Ben. An evil smile crossed his rocky lips as he emerged from his hiding place. He charged the Sentinel in front of him, grablling it by the leg and ripping it off. The robot teetered for a second before collapsing and starting a clumsy roll down the hill. The robot plowed into its counterparts, and the group fell into a jumbled heap. Just for good measure, Ben picked up the large chunk of asphalt he had been hiding behind and launched it down the hill, further crushing the mangled robots.

"One hundred-eleven," he said matter-of-factly, crossing his arms smuggly.

-

"What's going on Crystal?" Frankie asked, reentering the room.

"They're gaining ground on Magneto's forces, but slowly. I'm afraid exhaustion is going to start settling in soon, though."

"They're tough, They'll hang in there until the job is done." Frankie paused. "Any word from Johnny?"

"He called in a little while ago while you were eating to let us know everyone was OK, but there was something else, something he wouldn't tell me, only that he wanted me ready to leave if they needed it."

"No reason?"

"No, he was really vague, and uneasy about it all."

Frankie nodded slightly.

"Anything else?"

"He told you to hang in there, and that he loves you."

Frankie sighed, a single tear flowing down her cheek. She wanted to be with him right then and there, wanted to feel his arms around her, feel his breath in her hair. She just wanted him to come home. Frankie joined Crystal at the monitors, watching as the heroes fought valantly against the Sentinels.

-

Johnny watched as two more melting Sentinels plummeted into the water below. Numbers 509 and 510.

"Not too shabby," he told himself as he zipped off to find the others.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Spider-Man9x17/JohnnyFlying.jpg

OCC: Yeah, lets move it on a little. Blowing up Sentinels is fun, but you can only do it so long, and so many ways, before it get boring and repetitive. And, I'm running out of jokes and one liners. :p

[Sparta*]

OOC: ^^ Agreed Spiderman. The people in the blackbird need to talk to Magneto so we can keep this story moving.

[swingerbone]

OOC: i agree... but we need SF because I have no clue what he has in mind... I'm not about to bunny Hank and have it not follow his reasoning... it might tie into Mags wanting to fund Hank's presidency... so I don't want to step on that.

[Karem-Knight]

Norman wasn’t finished yet his entire back was acing the healing factor was goanna take at least 3hours too recover so he had too do one thing.



He slowly got up putting the Goblin gear back on he then forced the Chameleon too look at him just before he cracked his entire mask.

He then grabbed the Hobgoblin’s glider and went out the window

“I’ll be more deadlier when I next so up” And so The Goblin went too his and Spidey’s last stand.

Norman then glided the streets of the ever-famous bridge where everything changed!

[Karem-Knight]

OOC: Sorry about that but I just needed to have my freedom a mark and I'm sure the glinders and mask's have second copys but anywho.

Oh and electro Flare you don't have to come too the bridge I can wait

[Electro UK]

OOC: Sorry about that but I just needed to have my freedom a mark and I'm sure the glinders and mask's have second copys but anywho.

Oh and electro Flare you don't have to come too the bridge I can wait

OOC: Oh come on Karem GLIDER! When does N even come into the word?

[Karem-Knight]

OOC: Oh come on Karem GLIDER! When does N even come into the word?

OOC: Why don't you find something elese too do besides bad mouthing me

[Electro UK]

OOC: Why don't you find something elese too do besides bad mouthing me

OOC: I'm not bad mouthing you and I'm not going to turn this into a flame war but seriously clean up your spelling

[swingerbone]

OOC: Considering a question on the application makes fun of this, it does surprise me that you take offense to one person pointing it out. He was only reminding you that there is no "n" in glider.

[Rizpower]

OOC: Sorry about that but I just needed to have my freedom a mark and I'm sure the glinders and mask's have second copys but anywho.

Oh and electro Flare you don't have to come too the bridge I can wait
OOC: Did you not read the post. You are required to WALK out in shame, or face the consequences. Such are the terms of you release.

A small button was depressed by the Hobgoblin, and his glider immediately plummetted to the ground, as Osborn narrowly escaped the explosion.

"It's not that easy Norman. Remove the mask, and walk in shame, or face our wrath again!"

[Karem-Knight]

Norman smashed the button,


“Why should I walk in shame? You couldn’t fight like men? Could you?”

Norman then glided never felt shame never would.


He headed for a place not so far where his and Peter Parker’s life had a turn for the worst. For the Second time…

[Karem-Knight]

OOC: Once again Electro Flare I can wait up too 3 weeks for this

[Rizpower]

OOC: The glider has already exploded. Follow the rules, KK, or we'll pwn you horribly. You're already in horrible shape and I have Kingpin, Hobgoblin, Chameleon and Rhino all in close proximity. You wouldn't stand a chance. Now walk there in shame and do what you need to do.

[Karem-Knight]

OOC: Look I'm allready at the bridge please don't mess this up I've been planning this since page 18 in the Marvel RPG Season I

[rigel7soldiers]

OOC: why can't you just walk there?

[swingerbone]

OOC: I think the question is more than merely his transportation

[The Joker]

OOC: Quick question to dtorn.Where is Wilson Fisk currently at???? Is he at Fisk towers or at his mansion???

[rigel7soldiers]

OOC: dtorn's not here, Rizpower is bunnying for him.

[Batman]

The Sentiniels landed and surrounded Wolverine in an instant.

And even though it was possible that he could be blown to bits.........He smiled.

He was more than ready for this.

The Sentiniels,instead of predictably attacking one by one,attacked together.

Not only that,but they,instead of shooting Logan,they fell down,on purpose,to attempt to crush him.Like a dogpile,only with huge,deadly robots.

Logan saw this,and before he could be smashed to bits,he managed to hold his claws up,smashing a hole into the Sentiniels ontop of him.

It seemed,to everyone else,that Logan had been flattened by the Sentiniels.

But,before anything else could be done,The Sentiniels started falling apart.

Parts were flying everywhere,as each Sentiniel was slowly being destroyed.Before anyone could know what was going on,Wolverine slashed through the back of one of Sentiniels,spinning.

After realising that if he didnt do something soon,he would lose oxygen,Logan began spinning his way out,destroying the Sentiniels around him with his claws,like a drill.

By the time Logan was done,He had destroyed all of them,and was surrounded by Sentiniel parts.

His costume was torn,in some places,but he was still alive.......not that death had ever been that much of a problem for him.......

"Well.....Thats 29."

Logan knew he wasnt exactly winning this bet,but at least he was getting to tear Sentiniels apart.....which is mainly what he wanted.

He looked up to see The Sentiniels that were still flying around in the air.

"Dammit....get down here so I can tear your asses in half..."

He was,obviously,growing impatient.

OOC:You know what would make this story even more awesome for me?

If Sabretooth would show up.......Ive been waiting to kick his hairy ass ever since I joined this RPG......

[Sparta*]

OOC: Yeah dude ^^ where is Sabretooth? I wanna see a showdown!

[Spider-Man9X17]

Johnny blasted 3 more Sentinels, bringing the total to 551. The attacks seemed to be coming less frequently now, as the Sentinels began pulling back.

"They're either on the run," Johnny thought, "or regrouping and preparing for the next phase. Maybe that's what I should do, too." Johnny started making his way back to where he had last saw the others.

"Warren, Bobby, Ben, anyone. This is Johnny. What's your position. We need to regroup, I think Magneto's ready to start his next phase."

[batnkevlar]

*Magneto stands still and talks to Juggernaut through thoughtspeech*

~Get ready, Cain...~

[RoseRedStrauss]

~Will do. Everything is ready.~

[ElectroFlare]

Spider-man swung through the skies of NYC, looking for the one man he needed.

Daredevil.

Or was it Matt Murdock?

People sometimes are not who they think they are, but who others think they are.

As Spider-man was pondering this thought, he came across an unconcious Daredevil, bleeding on a rooftop.

"DD!" Spider-man yelled and landed next to his long time friend.

"Devil-Matt-what happened?" Spider-man realized the man was asleep.

"Blast! Right when I need you you take a nap. Come on Matt, let's get you out of here." Spider-man said and web slung Daredevil to a hotel room, after opening the window from the outside. He laid Daredevil on the bed, and did his best to clean the wounds.

"Wake up soon Devil."

[batnkevlar]

~Cain... now!~

[Sparta*]

OOC: Uh oh...looks like beast gambit and reed won't be getting that talk

[batnkevlar]

OOC: He could talk to me if he wants to... but he hasn;t been around... he could talk me out of what I am to do next...

[swingerbone]

OOC: this is a perfect time for SF to be MIA... silly me... I decided to have Reed tag along with Beast... I figured he knew what he was doing... at least Reed is super durable...

[Sparta*]

OOC: just carry on yourself swingerbone....go and talk to Mags. Reed is confident and capable, he can handle this situation. Plus Beast and Gambit are there too, so i'm sure you culd bunny them a little without their owners getting mad.

OOC: Ok... I'll do my best... but if anyone needs me to edit I'll do that.

In front of the Blackbird, Magneto came into view. Hank slowed the craft and set it to hover like a harrier. They bobbed slightly as they took in the picture before them.

"Hank, do you have a PA system to the exterior of the jet?"

"As a matter of fact, we do... let me activate it for you..." The blue-furred mutant adjusted dials, knobs and pressed buttons like a concert pianist playing a concerto. He then gestured with one blue furry clawed hand that the mic was hot and sitting above the pilots' seats.

Reed rose from his seat and took the seat Gambit had vacated as they had come into range. He didn't seem to want Magneto to be aware of his presence. Glancing back at him, Reed noticed the mutants deep red eyes squint with fury. His hands girpped the seat firmly, he was tensed like a spring.

"Magneto, this is Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. I am here with Dr. Henry McCoy."

"Yes, it is I as well Magneto."

"We would like to know why you have pulled this stunt. What is your purpose in this? And what if any bearing does it have on your mental conversation with Hank and his bid for the presidency?"

Hank flipped a switch with a claw as they awaited acknoweldgement from the Master of Magnetism....

*Cain strikes the ground with all his strength, destroying the already thin barrier between the crust and its magma. Lava spewed forth through the tunnels he made.*

*High above in front of the White House an earthquake started. Moments later, the ground split open on the White House lawn.*

*Lava spewed forth from the fissure in likeness to Old Faithful, but it wouldn't stop.*

*Nearby in the city of New York another earthquake occured. Buildings toppled as another grand fissure occured. Magma poured forth upon the citizens. People screamed as they were buried in their cars.*

*The unending flow of liquid fire slowly consumed the ground around it. Buildings caught fire and the skies turned black with smoke.*

Heh, sorry about the bad photoshopping, had to do it fast.

Speedball fell off the Washington monument as the ground trembled.

"I'm gonna diieeeeeeeee!!"- he screamed as the sudden tremor had sent him spiraling into the void. He speeded to the ground and then...he bounced off. He tried to look towards the White House as he spun head over heels and saw the ground erupt and spew the molten rock forth. He righted himself and leapt on a collision course with a large rock that was flying toward the crowd. He extended his kinetic field as he hit the rock, smashing into pieces. His rebound sent him towards a glob of lava, it's trajectory would have landed it on top of a tank but Speedball used his bubbles to prevent it. Unfortunately, the mostly liquid state of the mass made it difficult for him to the point that a little bit got on his arm.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Tropico/Speedball13.jpg

"AAAAAHHHHH! HOT! HOT, HOT! HOTOTOTOTOTOTOT!!"- he exclaimed as he pinwheeled his arms like some maniac bird. Getting the little bit of lava off, Speedball saw what was happening at the White House and leapt for a hole in the roof. Another gush of lava spat out and this time Speedball expelled his bubbles in a continous blast instead of leaping for it.

"Anybody HEEEEERREEEEEE?!"- He shouted into the corridor.

[batnkevlar]

OOC: New York and the WHite House is not destroyed... but they have erupted in lava... and Keyser Soze, or iceman, get Dew to ban this superspike guys for me, please?

[rigel7soldiers]

OOC: I think RoseRedStrauss killed Rhino, Hobgoblin, Kingpin, Chameleon, Green Goblin, and the Punisher. God I hope not, but I don't see how our little story can go on after this.

[batnkevlar]

OOC: He did not kill anyone! Yet... just run away form the lava... it isn't that hard...

[swingerbone]

OOC: Is Magneto going to answer the Blackbird?

[Priest]

*The White House lawn erupted in lava. The secret service agents that were still around the oval office ran to see what had happened. Nathan threw his shield around himself and Kelly.*

"I gotta get you outta here!"

*Nathan grabbed President Kelly and flew through the ceiling of the oval office and headed towards NYC with Kelly in tow.*

The lava cut off Robbie's retreat. Secret Service people came from the front. The men were so panicked that they didn't ask Speedball anything; they just wanted to get out. He heard a crash and then saw through the hole in the roof he had come in through that X-Man was carrying the President away. He cursed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do. X-man was cavalier with the lives of these men, but Robbie was better than that.

"Follow me!"- Robbie said as he blasted the wall with kinetic bubbles.
"Which way to the garden?"- Robbie asked.
"We can't. The lava is blocking the way!"- one of the men replied.
"Just point me in the right direction, forget about the walls."-Robbie replied.
"Ok. That way!"-the man pointed at the back wall.

"Put the lime in the Coke, you nut, And drink 'em both together"- Robbie sang as he did his one-man-demolishing team routine. Finally they got out,t he men thanked him and went on their way to re-group with the military.

His Warrior's comm buzzed: "Robbie? ROBBIE! Are you ok?!"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little hot under the collar"- he quipped.
Nova filled him on what had happened in Washington and NY.
"And if all of that isn't bad enough...the terrorists grabbed the President. X-Man flew off with him and I don't know where they were heading. Rich, i have to get home; I have to know if my family is ok!"- Speedball said with a tremor in his voice.
"We're on our way, toothpick. We left Turbo in L.A. but we're all coming home. We'll pick you up. See ya in a few."- Nova said before closing the line.

Spider-man swung through the skies of NYC, looking for the one man he needed.

Daredevil.

Or was it Matt Murdock?

People sometimes are not who they think they are, but who others think they are.

As Spider-man was pondering this thought, he came across an unconcious Daredevil, bleeding on a rooftop.

"DD!" Spider-man yelled and landed next to his long time friend.

"Devil-Matt-what happened?" Spider-man realized the man was asleep.

"Blast! Right when I need you you take a nap. Come on Matt, let's get you out of here." Spider-man said and web slung Daredevil to a hotel room, after opening the window from the outside. He laid Daredevil on the bed, and did his best to clean the wounds.

"Wake up soon Devil."

Daredevil slowly began to stir he mumbled, "Elektra....Elektra." He then began to become more coherent. He recognized the heartbeat and the scent he then said, "Spider-Man....I had him...I had him....I had Bullseye....we had a brawl....I had him. He was going down he was in just as bad a shape as I am." He leaned his head back and a single tear began to rundown his face as he said, "I failed....again. I had him and he fell off the dock. I couldn't find a heartbeat, but I know he is still alive. DAMNIT I HAD HIM!" He pounds the bed and locks his jaw in frustration.

He wiped away the single tear, recomposed himself, sat up on the bed and said, "The bandage job isn't too shaby...thanks Spider-Man. Where are we?"

"We're in a hotel room...It's a bad hotel, as the security isn't coming to find out why the window was forced open." Spider-man said.

"Daredevil...Matt...there is something I need to talk to you about." Spider-man said and walked to the mirror over the dresser. "Its about the spider and the man behind this mask."

[Spider-Man9X17]

"JEEZUS!!" Johhny yelled as Magneto unleashed his master plan. This was more than he could have ever conceived. This was a new low for Magneto. Johnny activated his commlink.

"Crystal!!! Crystal, you gotta answer me right now!!!"

-

Alarms blared in the monitor room on Attilan. The Inhumans, along with Frankie Raye-Storm watched in horror as New York and Washington, D.C. began erupting.

"God Almighty," Frankie whispered, watching the carnage unfold.

"CRYSTAL!!! WHERE ARE YOU" the commlink blared to life.

"Johnny?! Johnny, what happened?!"

"Juggernaut, he did something, he unleashed the magma chambers under the crust. Crystal, we need you now. We need you to close the ground! I'll meet you in New York."

"I'm on my way, Johnny." Crystal ended the transmission.

"Crystal, we are coming with you," Medusa said as he sister turned to leave the room. "This situation is much too dire for us to sit by idley anymore."
Crystal nodded her head.

"Lockjaw! C'mere boy. We have a job to do."

-

Johnny flipped off his commlink, and then pulled a mini transporter from his belt.

"I'm going to New York, meeting up with some help there. Who's coming with me?"

[ElectroFlare]

Spider-man paced back and forth, not sure how to begin.

"Daredevil...Matt...ever since MJ was...ever since MJ passed on, I haven't been able to think straight. I've been Spider-man for so long, and Peter Parker for even longer. I don't know who I am anymore! I don't want to be Peter Parker. Everyone he loves dies. Uncle Ben, Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane. I don't want to be Spider-man. Constant attacks by villians, people trying to kill me.

"I don't know who I am anymore. Am I Parker, or Spider-man?

"I'm trapped Matt, trapped between the spider and the man--and I can't find my way out!"

Daredevil said, "You're both. Now before you start throwing 'you're being rehtorical and not making sense' hear me out. The man who made that suit, was Peter Parker, the man who has saved countless lives is Spider-Man, the brilliant mind underneath that suit Peter Parker, and the man who is able to do those amazing feats of power Spider-Man. You need both aspects of your life to make you a whole person my friend. You lost some very dear and close people to you as a result of Spider-Man, just like I have as a result of being Daredevil. But the lesson there is simple...cherish those that are still here with you. Your Aunt needs Peter Parker, he is her one link to your Uncle and her family. You are her family Spider-Man is a guy in a costume, but Peter Parker is family. To the city of New York Peter Parker is just another name but Spider-Man is a hero...well to most people. It's all about balance...MJ was your balance now she is gone.. Your Aunt is someone who can help you balance out your life. Peter, take a good look at me. I was obssesed with making Bullseye pay tonight and look at what happened to me. If you don't find me and patch me up I'm dead right now. Who's to say you or I will be that lucky all the time? I lost my sense of balance. Doing what you can when you can as Spider-Man is all that you can do. We are blessed with powers and abilities but none of us are God. Knowing your limits and dealing with them is perhaps the hardest thing we have to do."

Daredevil re-adjusted and the bed and said, "I learned a very important lesson from my father...It was after he lost the first fght I ever saw him in. I was crushed and devestated but he told me something. He told me that you're not always going to win and you're not always gong to lose either. Everything balances out at some point. Now if your half-as-smart as I think you are you'll make sense out of all of this."

*The Master of Magnetism sits silently on his Sentinel, sitting in a meditating-like position. He does not answer*

[Spider-Man9X17]

"You go, Johnny. We'll stay here and see what Magneto is going to do. I'll have my transporter if anybody comes to join you later," Sue said. "Just be careful." She gave her brother a quick hug and peck on the cheek.

"Always. See you later." Johnny flipped on the transporter, disappearing through the silvery portal. He reemerged an instant later on the room of the Baxter Building. The lava flow was slowly moving down the street, being diverted around the Baxter Building by the force shields. As Johnny surveyed the situation, Crystal appeared on the roof, along with Medusa, Blackbolt, and Lockjaw.

"This is bad, this is worse than anything I could have ever imagined," Johnny shook his head. "How can we stop this?"

"Together," Medusa said, joining Johnny's side. "Your acts of bravery over the years on our behalf have been great, Johnny. Blackbolt and I owe you and your family our throne, and the Inhumans owe you all our very kingdom. We are here now to help you save your world."

Johnny smiled, acknowledging his friends with a nod.

"This is big, Crys, I don't know if you've ever attempted anything this massive."

"Well, I'm about to. I have to try," she said, trying to focus in on the spot of the main opening, on the split between the plates. She closed her eyes, focusing with all her might on the fissure in the ground. She jerked as she got a lock, and her veins began to potrude as she started the massive and slightly painful task of closing the earth back up.

Johnny turned to the others.

"There are innocent people down there. We have to go get them out of the way."

Medusa turned to her husband, who gave her a series of hand gestures

"Blackbolt will go with you Johnny. Lockjaw and I will remain behind for now to keep a watch on Crystal, but will be at a second's notice if you need us."

"OK," Johnny said as he walked to the edge of the roof.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/Spider-Man9x17/JohnnyFlameOn.jpg

"FLAME ON!!"
He leapt from the roof, jetting out over the city, with Blackbolt close behind.

[SuperFerret]

OOC: Jeez, a guy goes away for a little over a day, and all HELL breaks loose!


Beast sat back and waited for Magneto's response, but the Master of Magnetism didn't respond. Hank stared into Erik's eyes, trying his hardest to comprehend what he had just done. And Hank thought, thought hard, on the innocent people who were killed as waves of molten rock burst from the ground below their feet. He thought of Parsons, and his daughter, and wondered if they were safe. He thought about the deal he had made with Magneto and loathed himself for it. He thought, hard and long, and came up with only one conclusion.

Magneto had ordered for hundreds of innocent people to be killed in one of the most horrible way imaginable, an act of terrorism unsurpassed in history. For Erik, a reported survivor of the Holocaust, to have caused the deaths of others for the 'crime' of being differnet than he, was an abomination. Hank saw only one solution; Magneto must die.

A single tear emerged from the corner of Hank's eye as he thought this. Killing went against what he himself had believed in, but he felt he had no choice. He stood up.

"Reed, I need to do this alone. Take the Blackbird and go."

Hank prepared himself to jump out into the fray.

OOC: I hope this post makes up for my disappearing act.
