The "Heroes Vs Villains" Marvel RPG - Season IV

[Venom160]

"Hey there," Deadpool said as he swooped a woman up in his arms. "Name's Deadpool, Avenger, Fantastic Four member, potential X-man."

"Uh...hi?"

"Oh hey! You're the first woman not to start screaming as I rescued them, funny that."

"Well I could kind of see that you were rescuing me."

"Oh really? That's good cause the rest of them thought I was trying to steal them, nerve of some people these days. Well, see ya!"

He put her down and leapt back over to Cyclops. "Alright Cyke, that's 10 I've rescued, I kinda figured that we'd do a backwards Lord of the rings thing and count how many we'd saved."<Cyclops>

"Do however you want, just as long as nobody gets hurt while your doin it."

Spider-man swung down and landed next to Cyclops and Deadpool.

"I've got twenty-two then." Spider-man laughed.

"Guys...This looks like it might get a bit crazy. Cain is going for the hammer!""I think Thor has it covered for now."

I look around and see hardly anymore people around, I press a button on my communicator.

[Hey Archangel ya read me?]

[Sparta*]

<Cyclops>

"Do however you want, just as long as nobody gets hurt while your doin it."

"I think Thor has it covered for now."

I look around and see hardly anymore people around, I press a button on my communicator.

[Hey Archangel ya read me?]

<Archangel>

"I read ya Cyke, Juggs and Blondie crashed down into the Subway. I've stood by long enough, I have to help Thor. You know I owe him my life Scott...if it wasn't for him, I would have died at the hands of Blockbuster and Harpoon in the morlock tunnels during the massacre...although a piece of me did die when my feather wings were destroyed" The memories were painful for Warren, he shook them out of his head, like he has done so many times over the years, and concentrated on the task at hand.

"Even if I get crushed between them, I have to do what I can to help Thor" Archangel said to Cyclops. He flew up into the sky, and then soared straight down through the giant hold in the ground into the Subway.

"Don't you ever know when to give it a rest Cain?!" Archangel said releasing an aresenal of wing blades at another section of the roof. A giant pile of bricks came crashing down on top of Juggernaut.

"That will hold him for about 2 seconds Thor...if you want to stop him, you have to remove his helmet...thats the only way" Archangel shuddered...he hated being in inclosed spaces where he couldn't fly free...and the thought of being underground brought back so many painful feelings.

[twylight]

After a few parting words, the General and Taskmaster head off towards the transporter room. As the leave him, Thanos contacts Rogue.
"Rogue. It is time to take the Hulk to the designated transporter room. As soon as you finish this task, report back to me. I have another assignment for you."


Rogue stood up from where she was and nodded, pushing her hair from her face.

"Yes lord." She looked at the Hulk and smiled.

"It's time for you ta leave, this way." she motioned him out the door.

[Hyper Venom]

Rogue stood up from where she was and nodded, pushing her hair from her face.

"Yes lord." She looked at the Hulk and smiled.

"It's time for you ta leave, this way." she motioned him out the door.

Devil Hulk smiled and rose to his feet.

"Yeah, I guess it's time to get back to work..."

With that, Devil Hulk followed Rogue out the door and to the Transporter Room.

[twylight]

"Ah guess this is it." Rogue smiled at the Hulk, before casting a look of disgust at General America.

SHe quickly turned on her heels and walked back to the room Thanos was in. HEr mind racing with the events that just happened.

"What am Ah doin'? Ah'm not a villain anymore."
"But you feel like you belong. It's everything you ever wanted."

Rogue bowed her head, letting her hair fall on either side of it as her own voice in her head answered her unspoken question.

"Ah guess ah can't escape mah past."

She raised her head and looked up at Thanos.

"What assignment?" She asks, eager to keep her brain occupied.

[Hyper Venom]

She raised her head and looked up at Thanos.

"What assignment?" She asks, eager to keep her brain occupied.

Devil Hulk winked at Rogue as she walked away.

Still grinning ear to ear, he turned toward the General.

"So, what's the plan?"

[Venom160]

<Archangel>

"I read ya Cyke, Juggs and Blondie crashed down into the Subway. I've stood by long enough, I have to help Thor.

I turn to Spidey And Deadpool.

"Warrens' going to need some backup."

I look up and see Iceman still circling in the black bird.

[Bobby we're going into the subway to help Thor and Warren, come down and help use whenever you can.]

[Spider-Man9X17]

The elevator door swooshed open and Johnny stepped casually out.

"Benjy! Here boy! C'mon Benjy, here boy. I have a Milkbone."

Something crashed around the corner.

"Bad Benjy. No breaking stu...."

Johnny stopped. Ben was charging down the hall at some ugly looking monster.

"Awww, cute. He's chasing his reflection," Johnny quipped steeping fully into the hallway.

"Hey freakshow! You wanna play with fire....then lets play with FIRE!"

"FLAME ON!"

[Toby_Temple]

Time for plan B! HEY JOHNNY! TELL BEN TO STOP TRYING TO PULVERIZE M-OOOFFFF!...

Thing's powerful right leg lunges down to Death's Head's augmented molybdenum chest. The floor caves down creating a miniature crater. Johnny watched in awe. What was that thing? And why does it knows him and Ben?

[Toby_Temple]

EDIT

[Midnight Ice]

<Cyclops>

I turn to Spidey And Deadpool.

"Warrens' going to need some backup."

I look up and see Iceman still circling in the black bird.

[Bobby we're going into the subway to help Thor and Warren, come down and help use whenever you can.]
"Copy that, Scott. I am gonna land it in a nearby field...hopefully too far away for Deadpool to find it. I will be there in a minute. In the meantime, don't let Warren do anything stupid. He has been a little under pressure lately."


Bobby sets the blackbird down and glides toward the fight.

[The Joker]

He walked on through the hole into the next room, to see a lab like place, he lent his head out of the door and called out "Hey Doc! I think I've found what yer looking for!"

Octavius paused,as he heard Electro call to him from down the corridor.He turned and strode back down the corridor on two tentacles.

The stench of burned flesh filled the corridor.Octavius wrinkled his nose in disgust.Smoke and small licks of flames plumed from some of the charred bodies of the soldiers,who were strewn across the entire length of the corridor.

Octavius spotted the glowing form of Electro waving to him at the far end."What is it Dillon??" Octavius said impatiently as he strode up beside Electro.

Max indicated to the large metallic door marked 'Authorized personnel only'.Octavius grinned as he lowered himself to the floor."This is the research lab.Well done Max".

He retracted two tentacles and then sent them flying forward with a force that knocked the door off it's hinges.Inside the lab several scientists and lab techs began fleeing in terror.Two of them were trying to sound the emergency alarm button on the wall.But Electro had already taken out the security system.

Octavius regarded them with an impatient look."Fry them Max" he said,as he turned and went to the lab vault.Behind him he heard the agonized screams as Electro flash fried the foolish scientists.

Ock reached inside his coat pocket and pulled out the piece of paper the Gentleman had given him.He regarded it for a brief moment,then entered the lab vault.Seconds later he returned carrying a silver cannister in his arms.

"Mission accomplished" Octavius said with a superior grin."Whatever is in this,the Gentleman claims it is vital to our plans.The old fool is being so secretive,for fear I'll kill him and take over the plan myself.But secrecy will not save him".

Octavius turned to the rear wall and indicated to Max with a gesture,to which Max nodded,and powered up blowing a large hole in the wall.

"The authorities will soon learn of what transpired here.As will the wall crawler.For his death is next on my little 'To do' list" Octavius laughed,as he and Electro exited thru the blasted wall,leaving behind them the stench of death and destruction.

[Johnny Blaze]

"Ah guess this is it." Rogue smiled at the Hulk, before casting a look of disgust at General America.

SHe quickly turned on her heels and walked back to the room Thanos was in. HEr mind racing with the events that just happened.

"What am Ah doin'? Ah'm not a villain anymore."
"But you feel like you belong. It's everything you ever wanted."

Rogue bowed her head, letting her hair fall on either side of it as her own voice in her head answered her unspoken question.

"Ah guess ah can't escape mah past."

She raised her head and looked up at Thanos.

"What assignment?" She asks, eager to keep her brain occupied.
Thanos turned to face her, "You will return to Earth and retrieve Shocker. He will be partnered with you when the war commences. Once you have returned to the ship with the Shocker I will give you further instructions."

[ElectroFlare]

"RWAR!" Cain yelled as he threw his arms up and tossed all the rubble off of him.

His eyes full of hate, he turned towards Archangel. Former teammate. Now enemy.

With two large pieces of rubble now flying at him, courtesy of Cain's massive arms.

Cain then turned back to the Thunder God.

"Its about time we ended this." Cain said, stomping towards Thor. But then, over Thor's shoulder, he saw Iceman.

Another former teammate. He also recieved a massive chunk of rubble.

"Just you and me blondie..." Cain laughed.

"What about me?" Spider-man laughed as a web ball smacked Cain in the face.

"Cyke, do something about the tunnel. We can't have a train come through here now." Spider-man shouted. "We'll handle Cain."

[Venom160]

"Copy that, Scott. I am gonna land it in a nearby field...hopefully too far away for Deadpool to find it. I will be there in a minute. In the meantime, don't let Warren do anything stupid. He has been a little under pressure lately."


Bobby sets the blackbird down and glides toward the fight.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/iceman03/Iceman_07.jpg<Cyclops>

[Will do Bobby.]

"Cyke, do something about the tunnel. We can't have a train come through here now." Spider-man shouted. "We'll handle Cain.""Alright Spidey."

I fire a couple of shots at the walls of the tunnel causing it to collapse.

"There now we don't have to worry about any trains."

[Electro UK]

"Copy that, Scott. I am gonna land it in a nearby field...hopefully too far away for Deadpool to find it. I will be there in a minute. In the meantime, don't let Warren do anything stupid. He has been a little under pressure lately."

"Okay I gotta ask, does this mean Warren IS going to do something stupid?" Wade asked. "Cause you know, people don't usually say these things in fiction if they're totally pointless."

Cyclops gave him one of his trade mark looks. "Ugh,I swear nothing makes this guy laugh. You could put a Monty Python film in front of him and he'd just throw up at the fat man being sick."

He glanced over to see Spider-man fire a web ball at Juggernaut. "Hey does this mean we can actually join in the fight now? Cause I've run out of way to save people and be funny at the same time. Now to get my butt kicked, everyone will find that hilarious... and maybe if I'm so funny Electro UK'll--"

Wade I'm not gonna let you have the caption on the roster and that's final.

"Damnit!"

[bkhedr]

Well done Spider-man. Watch now as I use mighty mjolnir to fire a bolt of anti-force at the Juggernaut!" Thor said as a bolt of energy shot out of his hammer and at the Juggernaut's head.

The anti-force was incredibly destructive, and Thor hadnt dared use such an attack while there were civilians nearby. Now, thanks to his allies, Thor was free of such concerns. The bolt vaporized spiderman's webbing and rammed Jugernaut's head all the way back, stunning him.

Thor then leapt at the juggernaut and with one hand reached out and took hold of Cain's helmet, and removed it with a powerful yank. As the helmet came off Thor struck Cain's bare head with Mjolnir.

OOC: For anyone who doesnt know, the Anti-Force is not the godblast

[Midnight Ice]

"Crap."Is all that Bobby could mutter as the huge boulder smashed into the back of his ice slide, sending him flling to the ground.

"I could use this to my advantage, I suppose."

Bobby uses the momentum from his falling to make a small ramp to quickly catapolt him towards Warren.

"Warren, look out!"

Bobby crashes into a flying Warren, grabbing him, causing them both to fall.

"Bobby! What the HELL are you doing??"

The boulders soar, right above them.

"Oh, gotcha. You want me to lessen our fall?"

"Nah, we are about to land on something pretty soft..."

Bobby and Warren land right on top of Deadpool.

[Electro UK]

"Soft? I take offence to that." Wade muttered as he pulled himself out. "I know I'm good lookin guys but seriously, one at a time! And cheap shot Midnight Ice, you see me bunnying Juggernaut so he smacks right into your face? I think not! Infact screw you, I have the power to do it."

"What are you talking about Wade?"

"See see! I bunnied you! HA!"

[ElectroFlare]

"That got him Thor!" Spider-man shouted as he clung to a piece of the tunnel cieling that was still intact. "Here, let me help." Spider-man activated both web shooters and it stuck to the area of tunnel above Cain. He was just about to collapse the area when Thor leapt in and ripped off the helmet!

"Thor! Heads up!" Spider-man shouted as the cieling collapsed on both Thor and Juggernaut.

"Do...you...really...think...that'll...stop...me?" Cain gasped as Thor hit him in the head. Then the cieling collapsed on both of them.

His helmet. Thor had his helmet.

A smile drew upon Cain's face. Thanks to Thanos, he didn't need the helmet quite as much.

"This ain't over!" Cain shouted as he threw the rubble from him, including Thor. He looked up at the gathering of heroes around him. Thor. Spider-man. Cyclops. Archangel. Iceman. Deadpool?

They would all lose.

[bkhedr]

Thor heard spider-man say something to him, and the ceiling began to collapse above them.

"I have been too careless" Thor thought as he lifted his arm to deflect the debris. His mind was on Sif, and his frustration was making him reckless. Cain was proving to be as invulnerable as he claimed to be, and sheer strength, no matter how righteous, was not going to bring the Juggernaut down.

The god of Thunder came to that realization just as Cain, seemingly unfazed by the removal of his helmet, threw his arms out and sent Thor crashing into the tunnel wall.

[JewishHobbit]

The Shocker sits in the old abandoned apartment that he's turned into his temparary home. Money and gold is stacked in organized piles as he counts it, a large smile accross his face. This is the highest theft he's ever accomplished. He likes the fact that not only is he now richer than he's ever been, but that he also humiliated a hero in the process, and stumped the NYPD. He loves this suit.

As he counts, however, he has this odd feeling in the pit of his stomach. He wonders if this is all that there is for him. Sure, he can steal money, but he wonders, should he stop there? What else can he do with this power boost of his? That Thanos guy told him that he'd call him soon, and when he does, what then? Will he be taking out some people? Taking over some city? The Shocker isn't sure, but he smiles. He hopes it's something big. He's tired of the small time, he's ready for some big league plays.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Benjy! Calm down boy!" Johnny rushed forward, trying to grab Ben's massive rocky arm.

"No Thing Smash. Bad monster. My sister is going to kill us when she gets home."

[batnkevlar]

The whole tower and, it seemed, reality itself shook as the scream rang out. Hawkeye craned hsi neck to look past the last few guards standing between him and the door. The baby was coming, and Wanda was in pain. With one final push, he barreled throught he mutants, sending them off the side of the steps and down the stairwell. Home free. He heard the satisifying crack of wood spiltting apart as he kicked the door right at the lock point. The large oak structures gently drifted forward, and the two Avengers rushed inside.

Wanda was lying on a large canopy bed near the window on the other side of the room. A smattering of servents and "higher-ups" in Magneto's governement stood in various places around the room, witnessing the grand event. Clint had a clear view as the head began to crown. He froze for a moment, the mission at hand flowing out of his mind. That was his child, his flesh and blood being born. He felt the same hesitation in Pietro.

"It's a boy!" the physician announced, snapping Clint back to reality. He began his movement forward agains before second scream stopped him in his tracks once more.

A second head was crowning.

"Another boy!" the doctor called out, placing the child in the same bassinet. Magneto approached the babies, beaming with joy.

That was all Clint needed to see. He rushed forward again, not letting anything distract him this time.

"Get away from them, you som of a b**ch."

Hawkeye let loose with an arrow. A carbon fiber shaft with a marble head. Designed specifically for magnetically enhanced individuals. The arrow was dead on, aimed right for the villians cold, black heart.

Hawkeye heard the sound of flesh tearing, of the surprised, and probably final gasp of air of his target. He came to a stop and looked up.

Agent X stood between him and the mutant overlord, ripping the arrow out of his shoulder. The wound closed in mere seconds. The merc smiled, glaring into the hero's soul.

"Arggh!" I scream in pain as the arrow hits me. X rips it out and I stand up against the intruders.

"Carbon arrow? Smart. Fighting me in a room made of metal? Not as much." The walls ripped inwards facing Hawkeye. "X? Deal with the human. I'll deal with my son..."

[Sparta*]

<Archangel>

"Thanks for breaking my fall" Warren said to Deadpool as he got back to his feet. He jumped into the air once more.

"Something is different about Cain...usually removing his helmet will leave him vulnerable, but it doesn't appear to be doing anything this time...I wonder what he's been up to..." Warren thought to himself

"None the less, I need to think of a way to slow him down......my wing blades have a paralyzing neuro toxin in them, they won't stop Cain, but i'm sure he'll feel them..." Archangel soared toward Juggernaut and released 4 razor sharp metal feathers into his neck. The feathers stuck in his skin, releasing the neuro-toxin into his system.

"Now we see if this move pays off..." Archangel thought

[Spider-Man9X17]

Hawkeye dodged the flying shards of metal, narrowly slipping through the walls before they crashed together.

"Bad idea, really bad idea," he told himself as the bullets began to fly. Dodging them was really no problem for him, or Pietro. They'd had years of practice.

But Wanda, and the babies...

Hawkeye's blood boiled. He took out two arrows and fired on the run, each one plugging the barrel of one of X's guns.

"Have to prtoect Wanda. Have to get the babies."

Clint dove forward, avoiding the energy blast from an unknown mutant, and landed at the base of the bassinet. Rolling around to the back, he scrammbled to his feet and gently grabbed on of the newborns just as X cleared his guns.

"ENOUGH!"

Hawkeye held the baby, his baby, his son, close to his chest. X pulled the hammers.

"Big man. You gonna shoot me? Go ahead. Shoot me. You'll probably miss the baby, unless I move. But there's the six foot drop tp the ground. He'll only be a casualty to you though, and what's that matter? You've had hundreds."

Hawkeye stepped around to the front.

"But your employer may not appreciate this casualty. In fact, I'm willing to bet there won't be a person on this island who wouldn't want to kill you if you hurt these kids."

"You're nuts, Barton. Playing chicken with your own newborn."

Hawkeye pushed the thoughts aside. All he had his mind on now was getting his family out of here safely. And then, he heard the sobs.

Wanda sat at the edge of her bed, still in a great deal of pain. Tears ran down her eyes as she stared at Hawkeye. She was terrified.

"Father, what is this man doing? Why does he have my baby."

"Wanda, hun, I..."

"Please, let us be. Don't hurt my child."

"Wanda, this baby, these twins, they're..."

"GIVE ME MY BABY!"

Hawkeye's heart ripped in two. She didn't know him. He wasn't her fiance, he was some nutball about to kill her child. Head slumped, he slowly approached his sobbing girlfriend, hands shaking in anger, and fear. He fell to one knee, and gently handed the child over. Wanda took the child and held it close to her breasts as guards swarmed into the room, ready to take down anyone who tested them.

Hawkeye wouldn't give them the satisfaction. He unclasped his quiver, letting it fall to the ground. His bow fell at his feet as he raised his hands in surrender. He couldn't risk a fight here. Not with the children around.

"Stand down, Quicksilver. It's not worth the risk."

[Venom160]

<Cyclops>

Even with four of Warren's darts in his neck the Juggernaut was still standing, the toxin in those darts could of took down ten elephants! I look at the heroes standing around me and raise my hand to the dial on my visor and set it to full strength.

"Stand down Cain or we'll put you down!"

[ElectroFlare]

Cain brushed the feathers from his body. They stung, but didn't do much.

"You don't get it, do you? You can't stop me! You can't beat me! I'm better then all of you!" Cain yelled.

He leapt up into the air and wrapped his arms around Archangel, pinning his wings to his side in a big bear hug. His leap carried him up and back out of the tunnel to the grass, where he a Archangel hit the dirt.

Hard.

"How do ya like that?" Cain laughed.

"How do you like this?" Spider-man yelled as he leapt on Juggernaut's back.

"GET OFF!" Cain yelled.

"I just got here. I'm not leaving already. Do you know how expensive gas is in this country? When I go somewhere, I'm gonna stay there for a while." Spider-man shouted, clinging hard to Cain's back, despite the hits Juggernaut was putting on him. It hurt, a lot, but it was a distraction. The others could take advantage of it. Hopefully.

[Keyser Soze]

Boy scout?

That's all that passes through my mind as I feel him slam into me, and feel us both go through some sort of window, behind me. I'm almost insulted by that, quite honestly. Or, at least, I would be, if I weren't already enraged with him for killing those innocent people.

If he thinks that's all I am... a 'boy scout'... He's about to get a very rude awakening. I'm through being the nice guy.

We roll through the glass as my senses start to pick up where we are. We're in some sort of store, inside the station. A gift shop, most likely. I roll, grabbing onto Bullseye as we tumble, and knee him in the stomach as we go. I then punch him across the face, grabbing his shirt as leverage.

"You'll find I'm just full of surprises!", I say, before going in for another punch. Then, I feel pain jolt through my back. I grunt, letting go of Bullseye.

The glass. It's cutting into my back. And not just my back... I can feel some of it in my arms, and one of my legs. The pain of it makes the wound that I got earlier from one of Bullseyes' throwing stars look like a paper cut.

I try to pick it out, but before I can, something slams me in the face... hard...

Bullseye kicked Daredevil in the face as he struggled to pull the glass out of his body. Daredevil fell backwards onto the floor. As Bullseye stepped towards his fallen foe, he realised that he himself had shards of glass stuck in his body. Wincing in pain, Bullseye pulled a shard out from his shoulder.

"No pain, no gain," he cackled, licking his blood off the edge of the glass.

Then, he threw the shard downward, pinning Daredevil's hand to the ground with it. Breathing heavily from the exertion of the battle, Bullseye pulled off his mask, tucking it into his belt. Now, the mad glint in his eyes was all the more apparent. Less apparent were the well-concealed feelings of pain and loss still coursing through the back of his mind.

"Well, you can see my face, Devil..."

Leaping on top of his nemesis, Bullseye grabbed his head, digging his fingers under the red mask.

"...So let's see yours..."

[Batman]

Bullseye kicked Daredevil in the face as he struggled to pull the glass out of his body. Daredevil fell backwards onto the floor. As Bullseye stepped towards his fallen foe, he realised that he himself had shards of glass stuck in his body. Wincing in pain, Bullseye pulled a shard out from his shoulder.

"No pain, no gain," he cackled, licking his blood off the edge of the glass.

Then, he threw the shard downward, pinning Daredevil's hand to the ground with it. Breathing heavily from the exertion of the battle, Bullseye pulled off his mask, tucking it into his belt. Now, the mad glint in his eyes was all the more apparent. Less apparent were the well-concealed feelings of pain and loss still coursing through the back of his mind.

"Well, you can see my face, Devil..."

Leaping on top of his nemesis, Bullseye grabbed his head, digging his fingers under the red mask.

"...So let's see yours..."

He doesn't know how wrong he is. I can't see his face. I can't see the rage, the torment, the pain in his eyes. But quite frankly, I don't care. I didn't come here to give him sympathy. I came here to bring justice to those he's killed.

I feel the fingers digging into my mask. I try to move my left hand, grunting as I do it. The glass... It's stuck me into the floor. I can't... I can't fight it. I grab one of his arms with my free arm, but the other arm is still left to do the job. I try to move my legs, in an attempt to throw him off of me, but he's got me pinned. The mask moves up, loosening from my face.

And then... for some, sick reason... I stop fighting. The mask goes, revealing my sweat drenched face to him. He's no longer staring at Daredevil. He's staring into the real face of the man who's beaten him countless times. The face of Matt Murdock.

I smirk, somewhat, at this. Part of me wishes I could see the reaction on his face, as he realises he's been getting defeated by a blind man, all these years.

And I don't even care if he knows my identity. I think it's the sheer sadisticness of the situation that's preventing me from caring. This man... this top assassain... has been, to put it in blunt terms, getting his ass handed to him by a man who can't even see.

"Take a good look, Bullseye. Here's your opponent. Unmasked, revealed to you right infront of your eyes. Happy?", I ask, before using my free arm to send a right hook across his face.

[bkhedr]

Cain brushed the feathers from his body. They stung, but didn't do much.

"You don't get it, do you? You can't stop me! You can't beat me! I'm better then all of you!" Cain yelled.

He leapt up into the air and wrapped his arms around Archangel, pinning his wings to his side in a big bear hug. His leap carried him up and back out of the tunnel to the grass, where he a Archangel hit the dirt.

"GET OFF!" Cain yelled.

"I just got here. I'm not leaving already. Do you know how expensive gas is in this country? When I go somewhere, I'm gonna stay there for a while." Spider-man shouted, clinging hard to Cain's back, despite the hits Juggernaut was putting on him. It hurt, a lot, but it was a distraction. The others could take advantage of it. Hopefully.

"Od's Blood!" Thor cursed as he watched Cain leap to the surface with Archangel in his grip and Spider-man right behind him.

Throwing his hammer Thor shot into the sky and reached the surface just in time to see spiderman heroically clinging to Cain's back and Archangel in the dirt at the villain's feet.

"He could kill them!"Thor thought. He would have to get and keep Cain's attention while the other heroes devised a way to stop him.

Thor threw his hammer at Cain as hard as he could and hung on. He would ram Cain and get him away from Archangel. Spideman was quick and experienced enough to get out of the way.

[twylight]

Thanos turned to face her, "You will return to Earth and retrieve Shocker. He will be partnered with you when the war commences. Once you have returned to the ship with the Shocker I will give you further instructions."


Rogue smiled.

"Nothin' to it."

She teleported herself to where the Shocker was.

Who is this guy anyway? Ain't he one of Spider-Man's enemies?

She landed in a seated position on top of a stack of gold bullions, and crosses her legs. She studies him for a second, taking in his appearance before leaning over, jutting her shoulder out and resting her chin on it in a playful way.

"Ya must be the Shocker. Ah'm Rogue and glad ta meet ya." she says cheerfully, an evil glint in her eye. If only her old teammates could see her, she was actually involved with somethin'

Don't think about them, don't they ain't nothin' anymore.

[ElectroFlare]

:spidey:

Spider-man's spider-sense starting going nuts.

He looked over his shoulder to see Thor's hammer rushing straight at him.

Oh, that must be it.

"Bye-bye Juggs. Sleep tight." Spider-man said as he flipped up and over Cain's head and landed in front him, grabbed Archangel, and shot out of the way on a quick webline.

"You little punk!" Cain shouted and reached for Spider-man as he flipped over his head. Spider-man was too fast however, and took Archangel with him.

CLANG!

Thor's hammer bounced off of Cain's head, knocking the Juggernaut to one knee. Cain's fist slammed into the ground out of instinct.

"You freaks are really starting to annoy me!" Cain shouted as he turned towards Thor.

"That's it blondie. This is over!" Cain yelled as Thor caught his hammer. Cain then grabbed the nearest tree and threw it at Thor, hoping to smash him with it...

[bkhedr]

Thor caught his hammer and swung it in front of him, splintering the tree trunk with a loud crack.

"Nay Villain! Our battle will not end till the son of odin and his allies are victorious...and the Lady Sif is returned!" Thor shouted with resolve as charged the Juggernaut and punched him in the mouth.Cain didnt even flinch.

Thor followed the punch with a blow to the ribs with his hammer, and a kick to Cain's knee. Still nothing.

"Fall!" Thor shouted as he struck with Mjolnir again and again.

"For Asgard! For Sif! THOU WILT FALL!"

[Midnight Ice]

"Wade...did you just call me a bunny? Nevermind, we can talk about this later.

Iceman begins to freeze Juggernaughts armor, as well as his nostrils and his mouth.

I know that wont stop him, but he needs to breathe. If he takes even a moment to remove the ice, hopefully Thor can capitalize on it.

[Keyser Soze]

He doesn't know how wrong he is. I can't see his face. I can't see the rage, the torment, the pain in his eyes. But quite frankly, I don't care. I didn't come here to give him sympathy. I came here to bring justice to those he's killed.

I feel the fingers digging into my mask. I try to move my left hand, grunting as I do it. The glass... It's stuck me into the floor. I can't... I can't fight it. I grab one of his arms with my free arm, but the other arm is still left to do the job. I try to move my legs, in an attempt to throw him off of me, but he's got me pinned. The mask moves up, loosening from my face.

And then... for some, sick reason... I stop fighting. The mask goes, revealing my sweat drenched face to him. He's no longer staring at Daredevil. He's staring into the real face of the man who's beaten him countless times. The face of Matt Murdock.

I smirk, somewhat, at this. Part of me wishes I could see the reaction on his face, as he realises he's been getting defeated by a blind man, all these years.

And I don't even care if he knows my identity. I think it's the sheer sadisticness of the situation that's preventing me from caring. This man... this top assassain... has been, to put it in blunt terms, getting his ass handed to him by a man who can't even see.

"Take a good look, Bullseye. Here's your opponent. Unmasked, revealed to you right infront of your eyes. Happy?", I ask, before using my free arm to send a right hook across his face.

Bullseye was floored by the right hook. But as he scrambled up onto his knees, wiping the trickle of blood from his lips, he had a wide grin on his face.

"Matt Murdock?" he exclaimed, "The blind lawyer from Hell's Kitchen! HA!"

Bullseye scrambled to his feet, leaning against a bookcase for support.

"I knew it! I guessed you were Daredevil, Murdock. Way back. Back before I skewered your girlfriend. And Fisk...heh heh...Fisk told me that I was talking crap, that there was NO WAY Matt Murdock could be Daredevil. I guess that even the great Kingpin of Crime can be wrong from time to time, huh?"

Bullseye's smile faded, as he grabbed onto a book from the shelf.

"But man, a blind lawyer? All those legal documents? You must get a lot of paper-cuts!"

With that, Bullseye tossed the paperback novel at Daredevil, aiming right at his exposed face.

[Red]

Eddie stared at his refection in the mirror of his filthy apartment. He didn’t twinge or blink, he just stared as if he was looking into his own murky soul.

“I don’t want this anymore.” He whispered while dragged his hands down his face.

“We are not finished” His voice changed, it became full of rage “Spider-Man must pay for what he did to us. He lost us everything and everyone.” Eddie looked up, his was face now consumed by the symbiote.

“We must kill him, make him suffer.” Venom’s wide mouth tore open and Eddie’s head reimerged.

“I’m stick of this!” Eddie shouted. He looked down at his clawed hands and clenched them. “This partnership is over.”

“We are one, we belong together,” the symbiote once again covered Eddie’s face.

“I used to think so.” Eddie pulled back his fist and launched it into the mirror.
His hand snatched a shard of glass. “If you want to be one, you can watch us die.”
Eddie razed the blunt splinter to his left wrist. He struggled to drain the symbiote from his arms, but eventually succeeded. He slashed his left wrist and as the blood poured onto the floor Eddie cut his other wrist.

Eddie collapsed on the floor and with his last ounce of strength Eddie, stopped the symbiote from healing himself. Fleeing from the weakened body the symbiote detached itself from Eddie and began to drip onto the floor and slowly leak through the floor boards.

As Eddie lay on the ground free, his vision fading. He smiled and whispered softly to himself “it’s over”.

"Thanks Spider-man, I was a couple of seconds away from having my wings plucked" Warren said as Spider-man released him from his grip. Warren stopped in the air and looked down at Cain. Nothing was stopping him...his poisoned wing blades didn't even slow him down. It was time to get serious.

"Spider-man, when I cut that powerline with my wing blade, catch it with your web and connect it to Juggernauts neck...it might be our only chance of stopping him" Warren said as he flew forward and released a wing blade with lethal percision right through a powerline. The line sparked and jumped everywhere.

"Come on Spider-man" Warren said "Let's see just how many volts the Juggernaut can take..."

[Batman]

Bullseye was floored by the right hook. But as he scrambled up onto his knees, wiping the trickle of blood from his lips, he had a wide grin on his face.

"Matt Murdock?" he exclaimed, "The blind lawyer from Hell's Kitchen! HA!"

Bullseye scrambled to his feet, leaning against a bookcase for support.

"I knew it! I guessed you were Daredevil, Murdock. Way back. Back before I skewered your girlfriend. And Fisk...heh heh...Fisk told me that I was talking crap, that there was NO WAY Matt Murdock could be Daredevil. I guess that even the great Kingpin of Crime can be wrong from time to time, huh?"

As he talks, I manage to pull the glass shard from my hand. I can feel the blood oozing out of it as I toss the glass aside, and stand up, clenching it on my abdomen.

He guessed this? I should be surprised... But I'm not. After all, if he would've put alot more thought into it, given what he knows about Elektra, Karen, Fisk, and myself... He probably wouldn't have needed the confirmation tonight.

No matter. With any other enemy, this would change alot. But Bullseye's killed many of the people I love already... I don't have much to keep from him, or protect from him.

Bullseye's smile faded, as he grabbed onto a book from the shelf.

"But man, a blind lawyer? All those legal documents? You must get a lot of paper-cuts!"

With that, Bullseye tossed the paperback novel at Daredevil, aiming right at his exposed face.

At that moment, my senses kick in as something begins to whistle through the air. I duck, only to feel something slash against my cheek. I grunt, placing a finger over the wound, as I feel more blood trickle from me.

I'm getting cut up pretty bad, here. I've gotten multiple wounds... on my face, my hand, my arm, my leg, my back... I feel like a human paper doll, at this point.

I shake the pain away as soon as I remember what kind of a situation I'm in. I kneel down, tap the ground, illuminating the mask on the ground. I pick it up, and pull it back over my face. I turn my head in his direction, still hearing him breathe. He probably finds this all amusing. Personally, I couldn't care less. He knows who I am. And yet, I still couldn't care less.

I just want to hurt him. Badly.

I raise my blood drenched hand, holding up two fingers as I assume a fighting stance.

"That's right. The blind lawyer. The underdog. The man who everybody sees as a handicap. That's me. I'm the handicap. Sometimes, I ask myself why I do this, when I'm so helpless, it seems. I'm sure you're thinking something like that too. But ask yourself something. If I'm so helpless, then why am I still standing?", I say.

Before he can answer, I leap into the air, painfully, and drop-kick him across the store, sending us both crashing amongst various bookshelves and gifts.

* * * * *

I have to keep reminding myself why I'm still pulling this incognito bull**** as I walk into one of the local bars. My head is covered by a beanie. My eyes are shielded by sunglasses. A coat and jeans hide the costume underneath, as I find myself amongst many of the people I saw at that gathering hours ago.

I walk up to the bar, not looking one of them in the eye. If I do, there's a chance I'll slip up. And on this mission, after all I've gone through, I can't afford to do that.

I look at the barkeep. He looks back at me, cleaning one of the glasses. I can see the stains on it regardless.

"What'll it be, Pal?", He asks. I look back at a group I reconise from the gathering, noticing they're all drinking the same thing. I turn back to him.

"What they're having.", I say, pointing behind me. He nods, understandingly, before bringing up a glass already served up of the stuff. I take it, and immediatley gulp it down. It's... sour, going down. But I can feel my body reacting to it.

This stuff is probably prepping them for the serum that the Magneto wannabee is offering. The stuff that's shipping in, tonight. The stuff I'm going to prevent from getting to them.

This is gonna be one hell of a night. Just how I like it.

As I think that, I eye the people behind me. They're all wearing the same crappy clothes. Like their preists... or... more accurately, members of a cult. They stick out horribly. I've seen too many of them in my time to not notice.

Suddenly, one notices me looking back at them. I quickly turn my head, trying to avoid a confrontation. Then, just as I try to leave, a fist slams onto the bar, next to me. I turn around, seeing them all around me. Several of the people leave, behind them, as they eye me.

"Like what you see, man?", one asks, with a sadistic chuckle. I narrow my eyes at him. He's big. He'll be trouble. Not much, but nevertheless, trouble.

"Just get you and your clowns the hell away from me. Before you regret it.", I say, ignoring the comment.

One cracks his knuckles. Another seems to be pulling out a weapon. The last one is pulling out a weapon. A bat, to be presciese. The bigger one who spoke smirks.

"Now that' ain't being the way to talk to th' locals around here, pal. Show some respect.", He says, as his buddies step closer, all wielding something I should be, but aren't, afraid of.

My response? I spit in the ****er's face. He wipes it away, enraged. I raise an eyebrow.

"How's that for respect?", I ask, before they all gang up on me.

- - -

I walk out of the bar, wiping the blood away from my knuckles with my coat. That was a waste of time... But it beat the hell out of anything else I've done in this place.

Now... To the shipment...

[JewishHobbit]

Rogue smiled.

"Nothin' to it."

She teleported herself to where the Shocker was.

Who is this guy anyway? Ain't he one of Spider-Man's enemies?

She landed in a seated position on top of a stack of gold bullions, and crosses her legs. She studies him for a second, taking in his appearance before leaning over, jutting her shoulder out and resting her chin on it in a playful way.

"Ya must be the Shocker. Ah'm Rogue and glad ta meet ya." she says cheerfully, an evil glint in her eye. If only her old teammates could see her, she was actually involved with somethin'

Don't think about them, don't they ain't nothin' anymore.

"What!?"

Shocker turns quickly to see the attractive woman sitting on one of the stacks of gold. Seeing her in costume makes him instantly think that she's some hero come to reclaim what he stole and to put him into the prison. That's something he cannot allow. All this thought process takes but a moment as he raises his arms and fires off a blast aimed for the intruder's chest.

[Toby_Temple]

"Benjy! Calm down boy!" Johnny rushed forward, trying to grab Ben's massive rocky arm.

"No Thing Smash. Bad monster. My sister is going to kill us when she gets home."

Death's Head pushes himself up from the floor. He hears Johnny trying to talk some sense to Ben.

What the?! Is that how you talk to him know? You're like talking to the Hulk.

He then moves towards them, to help restrain the infuriated brute. Death's Head's tough welcome ordeal is coming to an end.

[Venom160]

<Cyclops>

Me and Deadpool climb out of the subway tunnel in time to see Archangel shoot a dart at the powerline.

"Deadpool be ready to attack, hopefully the shock Cain is about to receive will weaken him enough for us to take him out."

[Midnight Ice]

"Wade...did you just call me a bunny? Nevermind, we can talk about this later.

Iceman begins to freeze Juggernaughts armor, as well as his nostrils and his mouth.

I know that wont stop him, but he needs to breathe. If he takes even a moment to remove the ice, hopefully Thor can capitalize on it.
OOC: just reminding everyone of this, in case this will have an effect on the power line...:xmen:

[Spider-Man9X17]

Death's Head pushes himself up from the floor. He hears Johnny trying to talk some sense to Ben.

What the?! Is that how you talk to him know? You're like talking to the Hulk.

He then moves towards them, to help restrain the infuriated brute. Death's Head's tough welcome ordeal is coming to an end.

"Back off!" Johnny sprang up, letting loose two columns of flame aimed at the intruder.

"Reed, you may wanna speed things along. We're going to need your help," he called into the commlink

[ElectroFlare]

Cain swung back at Thor. Thor's hammer hurt, but not enough to stop Cain. Nothing could stop Cain.

Then he felt his nose and mouth begin to freeze.

Iceman! That living popsicle was trying to suffocate him!

It meant nothing! Cain reached for his head, to rip the ice from his face.

He never reached his face.

Immense volts of electricity struck his neck, jolting his entire body, and melting the ice in the process.

"I didn't know Cain could dance!" Spider-man exclaimed at Cain's intial reaction to the electricity. He laughed at the sight of the Unstoppable Juggernaut shocked with electricity. He didn't see Cain reaching around and grabbing the line and shoving it into Thor's mouth...

Thanos stood in one of the thousands of transporter rooms in his great ship. He was not alone in the room, as a pair of techs operated the controls for this particular unit.
"Activate transport", the Titan said with a nod to his tech.

"Yes, Lord Thanos", said the techs in unison as the began working the controls. Within seconds the device was humming to life.
"We have a molecular lock, sir."

"Then bring him in. It's time for the pieces to be set into play."

"Yes, Lord", said the tech as he activated the transporter. A flash of white light filled the room for a second, forcing the techs to avert their eyes. Thanos did not need to gaze away however. The Titan simply stared at the platform as the being was teleported in.

"Welcome back, Juggernaut. You performed your mission admirably. But, it is now time for you to partake in something grander."

[ElectroFlare]

"Why did'ya take me away then? I was pounding on Thor and the x-men." Cain shouted in anger, balling up his fists at the Mad Titan.

"You coulda at least brought back my helmet too. That thing is under a pile of rubble now. I woulda got it back, if ya hadn't interrupted."


"Whoa! Where'd he go?" Spider-man shouted as the Juggernaut disappeared, just as before. Spider-man quickly used his webbing to rip the electrical line from Thor's mouth before it did any major damage.

"Something is not right. Thor, got any idea why Juggs doesn't like your embassy? I kinda liked the architecture."

[twylight]

"What!?"

Shocker turns quickly to see the attractive woman sitting on one of the stacks of gold. Seeing her in costume makes him instantly think that she's some hero come to reclaim what he stole and to put him into the prison. That's something he cannot allow. All this thought process takes but a moment as he raises his arms and fires off a blast aimed for the intruder's chest.


Rogue saw his arm movement and remembered the power his suit gave him.
Calling up Kitty's power she became intangeble and let the shock wave roll through her.

"Calm down there Sugah." She slid off the stack and landed in front of him.

"Ah come from our mutual employer." she winked at him with her green eyes, before looking around the room.

"Ah see you've kept yourself busy, now Thanos would like ta have a word with you." She stepped forward.

"You coulda at least brought back my helmet too. That thing is under a pile of rubble now. I woulda got it back, if ya hadn't interrupted."



Thanos sighed deeply and turned his head to give the techs a look and nodded.
The techs worked the controls again, and in another white flash, Juggernaut's helmet was on the floor next to him. The helmet was dirty having been burried under rubble, but otherwise it was in fine condition.

"Now then", said Thanos as he again turned his attention to the Juggernaut, "the reason I took you from the battle is because you are needed elsewhere. The invasion will begin soon, and you will assist Von Doom in his assault on Europe. And, under his command, I am sure you will have your fill of battle and cause all the mayhem you can ever want."

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Home sweet home..." Clint muttered, ripping off pieces of cloth from his mattress and throwing them on the ground. Things were definitely not going his way.

Still, he had one ace up his sleeve.

Pressing his hand to his ear, he activated a hidden commlink.

"Hawkeye to Avengers. Anybody? We have urgent problems."

Static.

"Great."

"Who are you calling?"

Hawkeye rolled over with a start. Wanda stood at the door of his cell, glaring angrily at her teamate and fiance.

"Exterminator. This place is cockroach heaven."

"I would advise you not to play games. You're lucky you are still alive."

"You have no idea...not anymore, at least."

"What?"

"Nothing. Nothing at all."

[JewishHobbit]

"Ah see you've kept yourself busy, now Thanos would like ta have a word with you." She stepped forward.

The Shocker lowers his arm as he lets himself become lost in Rogue's beautiful green eyes. When he realizes that he's staring he quickly looks away. He lifts a bag and begins to stuff money into it.

"Sorry about that, then. If I'd have known he was gonna send me company I would have staightened a little. So what can I do for you, or him I guess?"

Rogue smilies broadly, the Shocker's stare not being lost on her.
It was so nice to feel appealing, and even nicer to know she could act on it if she so choosed.


"Not a problem. Thanos would like you aboard his ship."

She placed her hand on his shoulder.

"If Ah may? We can get there faster if Ah take us." She said.

OOC: JH, you can bunny her there...

[Toby_Temple]

"Back off!" Johnny sprang up, letting loose two columns of flame aimed at the intruder.

"Reed, you may wanna speed things along. We're going to need your help," he called into the commlink

The flames went for a direct hit with Death's Head, but the cyborg did not budge nor cleared away. His augmented molybdenum matched that of Wolverine's adamantium claws before. An ordinary fire would do less.

Good! Call Reed. He'll clear things up for you.

The metallic behemoth stopped his advance and sat down among the rubbles.

I'll just sit here and wait. For the mean time, you two could clean this mess up. Yes?

[Midnight Ice]

"WHAT!!!??? Not again! Since when did Juggs get teleportation powers? Now what are we supposed to do?"

[Keyser Soze]

At that moment, my senses kick in as something begins to whistle through the air. I duck, only to feel something slash against my cheek. I grunt, placing a finger over the wound, as I feel more blood trickle from me.

Bullseye collapsed into the bookshelves, their contents spilling over him. Groaning in pain, he staggered to his feet.

"Where are you!?"

Amongst the avalanche of books and tacky gifts, Bullseye had temporarily lost sight of Daredevil. Bullseye hunched forward, his chest on fire from his foe's dropkick. He let out a nasty sounding cough, a wad of bloody spittle lying on the floor.

"You're gonna pay for that..."

Bullseye picked up a weapon from the floor. One of those cheap souvenir pens, with a miniature Empire State Building molded onto the end. Completely inpractical to write with, of course, but it would make a decent enough weapon to pierce through Murdock's useless eyes.

[JewishHobbit]

Rogue smilies broadly, the Shocker's stare not being lost on her.

"If Ah may? We can get there faster if Ah take us." She said.

OOC: JH, you can bunny her there...

In a moment both Shocker and Rogue are standing in a large, beautiful hall that Shocker recognizes to be Thanos' ship. He looks around in awe, just as he had the first time he was here. After a moment he looks back to Rogue who seems to be waiting for him to finish taking it in. He smiles beneath his mask.

"Well if your done, Ah suppose I can escort you to see him then."

Shocker has to admit, he prefurs this chaufer over the other guy with the skull-like mask anyday. He could fall for those green eyes, if he let himself. He closes his eyes to reclaim his thoughts.

"Yeah, alright. Lead the way."

She smiles as she turns and begins to walk down the hall's corridor. He watches her move for a moment before following. Soon they reach a large closed door. Before it stands a servant who informs them that Thanos is in the company of another.

"Ah guess we wait."

Shocker smirks, oh the things he could think of to take up the time.

[Spider-Man9X17]

Johnny stared at the intrduer. He was standing down.

A clunk from up above signaled the arrival home of Reed and the others. This guy wanted to talk to Reed, he was about to get his wish.

-

"So, who did Daddy Dearest tell you we were, anyway?"

"Terrorists. You are part of a mutant repression group based in the city of New York. Your attacks on Genosha have been documented for years. You followed me here to kill my children, heirs to the throne of my father."

"The only real throne your father ever commanded was made of porcelin."

Wanda snorted. Clint turned to look at her once again. There was some hesitation before he spoke this time.

"And what about my buddy? Who's he."

"A traitor to our family. Sadly, my father must call this man son. To think that I share his blood makes me shudder. You are all animals, and any fate handed down to you would be too generous."

"You heard enough?" this time, Clint wasn't talking to Wanda. He was looking past her. Before the Witch could turn, she felt a cloth covered hand over her mouth, and then the world went dark.

"You are a sneaky little weasel," Hawkeye grinned as Quicksilver opened his cell door. "How'd you get out?"

"I ran away," he replied, as cooly and casually as possible.

"Smart @$$," Hawkeye laughed, picking up Wanda. "Where are the babies?"

"Secure aboard the Quinjet."

"Then I guess that's where we should be, huh?"

-

The two Avengers had just buckled themselves into their seats when the first sirens sounded off.

"Good luck finding us," Hawkeye thought smuggly as the engines fired up. The jet lifted out of the think forest and rocketed off toward New York.

"So now what?"

"Now the real fun begins. We have a highly confused teammate, two new babies, and apparently the world needs saving, again. I sure hope your good at chewing bubble gum while walking down the street."

"What?"

"Nevermind."

[bkhedr]

"Whoa! Where'd he go?" Spider-man shouted as the Juggernaut disappeared, just as before. Spider-man quickly used his webbing to rip the electrical line from Thor's mouth before it did any major damage.

"Something is not right. Thor, got any idea why Juggs doesn't like your embassy? I kinda liked the architecture."

"Would....that....I did my friend." Thor said as he caught his breath. Fighting Cain was no picnic.

"The villain did attack the embassy without cause or warning, and worse still, he hath kidnapped the Lady Sif!"

[Venom160]

<Cyclops>

I let out a sigh and turn to look at Spider-Man.

"Hey Spidey you did'nt by any chance throw one of those spider tracers of your on Juggernaut did you?"

[ElectroFlare]

"No, cyke I didn't. I was too busy trying not to get swatted." Spider-man said.

"Why would he want Lady Sif? And why would he bother with the Asgard temple? And how does he keep disappearing? There's some kind of higher power out there doing this. Juggs doesn't care about Lady Sif or the Asgard temple. And he doesn't teleport. Someone has got Juggs working for him." Spider-man said, thinking out loud. "But who?"

"So I get to trash Europe? With Doom? Sounds like fun." Cain said, cracking his knuckles. "When do we start?" He asked and picked up his helmet and clasped it on...

[Johnny Blaze]

"So I get to trash Europe? With Doom? Sounds like fun." Cain said, cracking his knuckles. "When do we start?" He asked and picked up his helmet and clasped it on...
"Right now. When you see Doom, tell him that my soldiers will gate in from the catacombs beneath his castle. He will have an entire legion of my troops at his command", Thanos said as he turned to the teleporter operators and gave them the silent command to send the Juggernaut to Castle Doom in Latveria.

As soon as the Juggernaut was gone, an officer entered the teleportation room.
"My Lord, two of your servants have arrived. The human female, Rogue, and the Earth man, Shocker."

"Excellent. Bring them to me here, Sergeant."

"Yes, my Lord", said the Sergeant with a bow. The Sergeant turned on his heels and made his way back to where Rogue and the Shocker waited to escort them to meet Thanos.

[ElectroFlare]

"I don't like that teleportation bit. Its disorientin'." Cain said as he found himself directly in front of Doom.

"Hey, Doom, how ya doing? Thanos sent me to help ya trash Europe. Where do we start?"

[JewishHobbit]

Shocker and Rogue straighten themselves as the door opens and the servant comes toward them.

"You may now enter," the servant says.

Shocker looks to Rogue, who winks at him and leads the way. The two enter the large room that had previously impressed Shocker so much. His second time seeing it isn't any less impressive. He sees Thanos accross the room, standing with his back to them, his hands held behind him. Shocker and Rogue stop just shy of him and wait for him to address them.

[kang604]

Doctor Doom was standing in planning his strategy inside the main control room of his castle when out of nowhere the mammoth of a man known as the Juggernaut appeared before him.

" Cain Marko, Juggernaut. I've been expecting you. Thanos has informed me that you are here to join in the... festivities." Doom gestured the Juggs and pointed to a map that outlined his attack plans.

Victor Von Doom the man, thought Marko was quite frankly, a chump. A low-life bruiser who cared only for money and senseless destruction and for his own mindless satisfaction. But Victor Von Doom the warrior, the leader, knew that the power of the Juggernaut was immeasurable and his assistance in the invasion would be vital and priceless.

" Mr. Marko, we are taking part in a history changing event. I would advise you listen carefully. With the combined might of Latveria's military droids and Thanos' fleet, conquering Europe or even the world that matter, would be all too easy. But, unfortunately, we can expect to and will see opposition, mainly from so called superheroes such as the Avengers and the all too familiar X-Men. That my friend, is where you come in.

I need you to distract the attention of the heroes once they arrive. Do whatever you have to do, but keep them busy while our forces secure the land. How you may ask? Simple. " Doom grinned under his mask as he handed Cain what looked like a belt with a small glowing mechanical device attached to it. " I have studied your powers and abilities Juggernaut, and they are quite impressive. The device you are holding designed and used by DOOM himself, is a duplicator. Using my expertise in sorcery and robotics, I fashioned this little toy. With it, you will be able to create limitless clones of yourself as you fight the heroes. They will not be nearly as strong or durable as the original, but they will still be a handful for anyone who attempts to destroy them.

Now go get some rest, we have a long journey ahead of us. But wont it be worth it when you are on top of the world and you look down upon Charles Xavier as his superior?" Doom grinned, knowing he had touched a sensitive spot that would secure Juggs' allegiance.

[ElectroFlare]

"That little runt brother o' mine? Oh, the things I'll do...So I can make clones of me?" Cain said, rubbing his chin and looking at the device. "This might be handy. And i'd be glad to smash all dem heroes. Especially those x-men. So let's get to it!"

[Johnny Blaze]

Shocker and Rogue straighten themselves as the door opens and the servant comes toward them.

"You may now enter," the servant says.

Shocker looks to Rogue, who winks at him and leads the way. The two enter the large room that had previously impressed Shocker so much. His second time seeing it isn't any less impressive. He sees Thanos accross the room, standing with his back to them, his hands held behind him. Shocker and Rogue stop just shy of him and wait for him to address them.
"Rogue and Shocker", said Thanos as he turned to face the pair, "It is almost time to begin the opening stages of the invasion."

Reaching in his belt pouch, Thanos produced a small datapad and handed it to Rogue. On this datapad was a map of their target area, China, and a list of all the major military bases and the defense information for the entire country. Also, it has a map of the safe house and headquarters Thanos' men had secretly constructed over the past six months. An underground base located where none will ever find it: the tomb of the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi.
The Emperor's grand tomb was left untouched out of respect by the Chinese government, and they would not allow anyone to excavate it. But, Thanos did, in a sense. The Titan's men added to it. With the advanced technology at his disposal, Thanos had his forces build a large, cloaked complex all around it. It was large enough to house the two legions he was sending there along with Rogue and Shocker.

"You will be sent to the underground base in China. There you will prepare the troops at your disposal for the capture of the country. China is a staging ground for my assault on Asia and must be secured at any cost. Is that understood?"

Eddie stared at his refection in the mirror of his filthy apartment. He didn’t twinge or blink, he just stared as if he was looking into his own murky soul.

“I don’t want this anymore.” He whispered while dragged his hands down his face.

“We are not finished” His voice changed, it became full of rage “Spider-Man must pay for what he did to us. He lost us everything and everyone.” Eddie looked up, his was face now consumed by the symbiote.

“We must kill him, make him suffer.” Venom’s wide mouth tore open and Eddie’s head reimerged.

“I’m stick of this!” Eddie shouted. He looked down at his clawed hands and clenched them. “This partnership is over.”

“We are one, we belong together,” the symbiote once again covered Eddie’s face.

“I used to think so.” Eddie pulled back his fist and launched it into the mirror.
His hand snatched a shard of glass. “If you want to be one, you can watch us die.”
Eddie razed the blunt splinter to his left wrist. He struggled to drain the symbiote from his arms, but eventually succeeded. He slashed his left wrist and as the blood poured onto the floor Eddie cut his other wrist.

Eddie collapsed on the floor and with his last ounce of strength Eddie, stopped the symbiote from healing himself. Fleeing from the weakened body the symbiote detached itself from Eddie and began to drip onto the floor and slowly leak through the floor boards.

As Eddie lay on the ground free, his vision fading. He smiled and whispered softly to himself “it’s over”.

Eddies eyes began to flicker. He looked around, everything appeared white.

As his vision became clearer, it hit him he was in hospital. He lifted the blue bedcover from over himself and stared down at his cut wrist. His left hand bushed down his arm and slowly rubbed the stitches on his wrist. “I guess it was worth it” Eddie muttered to himself.

:venom: :venom: :venom:

"No, cyke I didn't. I was too busy trying not to get swatted." Spider-man said.

"Why would he want Lady Sif? And why would he bother with the Asgard temple? And how does he keep disappearing? There's some kind of higher power out there doing this. Juggs doesn't care about Lady Sif or the Asgard temple. And he doesn't teleport. Someone has got Juggs working for him." Spider-man said, thinking out loud. "But who?"



"Hmm...thou speakest the truth. E'en the Juggernaut would not risk having the might of eternal Asgard at his throat merely out of a lust for combat. The abduction of the Lady Sif must no doubt be part of some greater villain's scheme." Thor said. "Perhaps the attack and the Juggernaut's teleportation art somehow related to Nick Fury's summons."

[ElectroFlare]

"Thor, you might be right. I guess all blondes aren't that dumb." Spider-man joked as he surveyed the scene. "A lot of damage here guys. NYC's best will be on their way here soon." Sure enough, just as Spider-man finished speaking, cops and ambulances pulled up, some drawing their weapons on the heroes, some glad to see them.

"Uh...who wants to explain?"

[The Joker]

The Daily Bugle,one of New York's most prominent newspapers has weathered some bizarre and terrifying events over the years.It has survived super villain attacks,extortion schemes and even several bomb threats.Several of the Bugle employees such as Betty Brant,Robbie Robertson,Ben Urich and of course the esteemed publisher J.Jonah Jameson have all been wrapped up in these bizarre events at some time or another.

But no matter how many times it happens,they still feel that terror in the pit of their stomachs,when confronted with a threat from a towering terror of super villainy.

Today is no exception.

The lights in the Bugle offices began to flicker and fade.Computer screens on several emplyees desks blanked out suddenly.Jonah Jameson emerged from his office in response to the commotion from several of the employees.

"What the heck is going on?? I'm not paying you people to sit around and gossip loudly" he shouted,as great plumes of smoke shot from his mouth as he puffed on his cigar.

Betty Brant,who was well used to Jameson's rants,calmly said "There's a problem with the electrics it seems Mr Jameson.All the computers have shut down.And the lights were flickering".

Jameson stared at the computer screen on Betty's desk."Well call maintenance then,and get those cowboys to sort it out.We're losing time here.The early edition has got to be ready by tonight for printing" he said impatiently.

Betty nodded as she picked up her phone on her desk."It's dead" she said slowly.Jameson looked at her with annoyance."What?? This is the last straw.I'm going...." suddenly he paused as the whole room became silent.

The walls and floor were shaking.The lights began to flicker even more now.Two of them exploded in a shower of sparks.Suddenly the wall exploded in a shower of bricks and dust.

Several employees screamed and ducked for cover under their desks.Including Jonah Jameson,who was cowering on his knees behind Betty's desk.He peered slowly over her desk at the large smoking hole in the wall.Something was glowing just outside it.It was coming in.The glowing light was fading.

It was a man.A man in green and yellow spandex.They all recognised him immediately."Electro" Jameson whispered as he staggered off his knees.Suddenly behind Electro,four writhing tentacles carrying a pudgy man in a white breasted suit came striding in thru the smoking hole."Oh no" Betty said in a shaky voice."Octopus.It's Doctor Octopus" she said as she looked back at Jonah.Jameson needed no introductions.He was staring wide eyed at the two super powered intruders who had just invaded his editors room.

"No matter how many times I come here,it never ceases to amaze me at how many people still work under these paltry conditions Jameson has set here.Whatever pittance he pays you people,you must be desperate to endure his slave labor conditions" Octavius said mockingly as he lowered himself to the ground.

Octavius spotted Jameson over by Betty's desk."And there he is,New York's propaghandist".Octavius shot out a tentacle and snatched Jameson off the floor and yanked him across the room.

Jameson yelped in fear as he dangled helplessly in front of Octavius."Now then you flat headed fool,I am in no mood for delays.We are on a strict timetable this evening.Where is your communications room?? We have a little message to send out to the wall crawler,and you're going to be part of the broadcast".

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Johnny, we're home. Has the infirmary been pr...."

Reed stopped mid sentence as he soaked int he sight in front of him. Johnny sat beside a rather devloved looking Thing, and both of his teammates were staring heatedly at a rather unfriendly looking visitor.

"Join the party. There's someone here who just insisted on meeting you."

-

"Jarvis!" Hawkeye called out as he entered the War Room. The butler was just finishing up dusting to conference table.

"Master Clint, we've been trying to reach you for days. Is Miss Wanda ok?"

"That's a whole other story. She's going sleepy by in the infirmary right now. Where is everyone?"

"They're all out on missions. Masters Pym and Parker, as well as Mrs. Pym are assisting Master Thor at the Asgardian embassy. Master Rogers had his own business to attend to, and hasn't been seen for days either."

"What about Tony? Crystal? Logan?"

"Miss Crystal had family business to attend to. Masters Stark and Logan have pulled one of their oh-so-famous disappearing acts."

"Jarvis, is the 'Master' stuff really necessary?" Hawkeye asked, turning on the computers.

"Of course, sir."

"Mmmhmm," Hawkeye adjusted the fruequency on the comm station. "So, who's in the Mansion?"

"Masters Williams and Wilson, and Captain Danvers."

"Good, get 'em down here. I'm gonna find the other and try and figure out what's going on around here."

"Hawkeye to Avengers, come in. This is an urgent transmission. Immediate reply needed. Come on, Spidey, Hank, Thor...anyone?"

[JewishHobbit]

"Rogue and Shocker", said Thanos as he turned to face the pair, "It is almost time to begin the opening stages of the invasion."

Reaching in his belt pouch, Thanos produced a small datapad and handed it to Rogue. On this datapad was a map of their target area, China, and a list of all the major military bases and the defense information for the entire country. Also, it has a map of the safe house and headquarters Thanos' men had secretly constructed over the past six months. An underground base located where none will ever find it: the tomb of the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi.

"You will be sent to the underground base in China. There you will prepare the troops at your disposal for the capture of the country. China is a staging ground for my assault on Asia and must be secured at any cost. Is that understood?"


Shocker whistles through his teeth as Rogue takes the datapad from the titan. He's just getting use to successfully robbing a bank, and now Thanos wants him to take over China? How in the world are they going to take over one of the most powerful countries in the world? He watches Rogue, who appears confident, and so he follows suit. He stands tall and smiles beneath his mask. Alright, so this is what he has to do in return for the power upgrade?

"Consider it done. So when do we start?"

He sounds good, but he still has no idea how they're going to make this work.

[twylight]

"Ain't no time like the present." Rogue suggests, looking at Thanos from the corner of her eye.

Excitement ran through her, now the X-Men would see how powerful she truly was, not thw whole world would. She wasn't second string to Ms. Marvel now.

"Johnny, we're home. Has the infirmary been pr...."

Reed stopped mid sentence as he soaked int he sight in front of him. Johnny sat beside a rather devloved looking Thing, and both of his teammates were staring heatedly at a rather unfriendly looking visitor.

"Join the party. There's someone here who just insisted on meeting you."


The cyborg stood up after seeing Reed Richards.

Dr. Reed Richards. Greetings. I hope you remember me. Yes?

This cyborg before you was once send after you 8 years ago to acquire the knowledge found in your computer mainframe. Part of its mission was to eliminate you. But after your device successfully scrambled this cyborg's neurons, it was then that I was able to control its cybernetic mind. You then gave me access to your mainframe computer and allowed me to acquire what I was send for. Its was then that you, Johnny, Ben, and Sue became my friends. Allow me to introduce myself to all of you again. I am DEATH'S HEAD.

The cyborg has said what was needed to be told. Yes, when he was still Minion, this cyborg travelled 28 years back from year 2020 to hunt down subject 106, Reed Richards. But before it could teleport, the original Death's Head attacked it. Minion identified him as subject 105 and proceed to assimilate him. Death's Head's, with his original body was no match for Minion. It bested Death's Head and assimilated him but the process overloaded its system. Death's Head struggled with the other 104 personalities in Minion's mind. Only when Reed scrambled Minion's neurons that Death's Head was able to overwhelm the other personalities within Minion's cybernetic mind, thus giving birth to DEATH'S HEAD II.

"Just like Terminator, huh? So, what, you here for political endorsement?"

[Toby_Temple]

I'm here to ask if I could stay with you for a while. The AIM, the organization that created Minion, this cyborg, plans again to retrieve this body and bring him back. You, Reed, would not like that. Minion would obviously hunt for you again. I was planning to buy some time and device several tactics to counter their every move and you, the Fantastic Four, as a temporary ally.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Hello, Jarvis," Quicksilver said, walking out of the elevator.

"Good afternoon sir. How is you sister?"

"As well as can be expected, all things considered."

"Quite...Master Quicksilver, are those babies?!"

"I think so," was the only repsonse Quicksilver offered as he climbed the stairs to the second floor.

"These super hero folk are an odd bunch."

-

Hawkeye pounded a fist on the communications console. Nobody was replying.

"Hawkeye to the Avengers. This is an urgent transmission. I need a response ASAP."

[The Joker]

Octavius surveyed the editors room briefly,then turned to Electro."Keep an eye on these cowering sheep Max.I'm going to make my little broadcast to the wall crawler".

With that he turned towards the communications room,with Jameson dangling from one of his tentacles like a pet on a leash.

Inside the communications room,Ock dropped Jameson to the floor."Set this broadcast to reach all communication devices in New York.Whatever slimy rock the wall crawler is hiding under,I want to make sure he hears what I have to say".

Jameson got to his feet."What the hell is this about??" he blustered."I won't have my news room turned into a circus to attract that wall crawling sack of garbage.I'm...",he was cut off in mid speech as one of Ock's tentacles grasped him tightly by the throat.

"One more ridiculous outburst from you Jameson,and I'll dismember you,and toss the pieces all across your precious news room" Ock said as he raised Jameson off the ground,who was spluttering and gasping.His face had turned a dark shade of red.

Octavius smiled,then released him.He dropped to the floor coughing and gasping for breath.

"Now then" Ock said as he stepped in front of the camera,"Start the broadcast".Jameson walked quickly behind the camera,the red broadcast light flashed.

"Yyyyyyyou're on" Jameson stammered from behind the camera.

Ock grinned his cold malicious grin."Good evening New York.You all know who I am.But I am not here to address you feeble plebians.This message is for New York's web swinging weasel Spider-Man.I am broadcasting from the Daily Bugle building.Where I have over 50 hostages in the editors room,including the Bugle's half brained publisher".

Ock flexed a tentacle behind the camera and snatched Jameson,pulling him in front of the camera."I trust I don't need to dangle any other hostages in front of you,to convince you of the severity of this situation.You shall come here to the Bugle rooftop alone in precisely one hour Spider-Man.Otherwise the Bugle employees shall fill the obituaries of this very paper" he said as he snapped his tentacle claws."And a word to New York's finest.Any attempted interference from you fools,ad I shall decorate the surrounding streets with Bugle employees.Test my resolve if you dare".

Ock tossed Jameson aside."One hour Spider-Man.We have alot of catching up to do".With that the transmission ended.

Ock turned and walked back into the editors room,with Jameson walking ahead of him.He gestured to Electro,who was floating up and down the room on a wave of electricity,taunting and laughing at the cowering Bugle employees,as he shot little plumes of sparks at them.

"The broadcast is done" he said as Electro floated beside him."If I know the wall crawler he'll show up alone in one hour,with innocent people involved,he always does.He doesn't know you're involved in this" Octavius said with a sly grin."So let us make your entrance a surprise shall we??"

[ElectroFlare]

"Hawk, Thor and the x-men are here in Central Park with me. Juggernaut just caused a lot of damage and we had to deal with it. He disappeared though." Spider-man said as he spoke into his comm link.

Suddenly the Spider-man heard Doc Ock's voice on a bystander's radio.

"Hawk...if you heard that...you know I have to take care of it. I'll leave this to you, Thor." Spider-man said and leapt into the air, instantly webslinging away from the police and Central Park...towards the Daily Bugle...

[Spider-Man9X17]

Perfect," Hawkeye groaned. So much for people listening to the leader. So, whatever world threat was coming this way was going to be met by an Avenger team consisting of two smartass, pigheaded males, one very confused woman who just gave birth, and three reservists who hadn't seen action in over a year. Oh yeah, and their was the butler...and two babies.

"Babies..." Hawkeye perked up a little, turning the comm station back on.

"Hawkeye to Deadpool. Come in Wade. Someone stole your lingerie collection."

If he couldn't fight his enemies, maybe he could get them to die from laughter.

[Electro UK]

Max smiled to himself. It had all been so easy. Just being electro again had made it so easy. Soon Spider-man would be dead and the city would be an easy target. He'd take out the Kingpin, maybe even rule the crime world himself... it'd be a nice change.

He shook the thought off, he knew he didn't have the kind of brains to do that stuff. Just the feeling of not being watched 24/7 would be fine enough for him. spider-man would die, then the Kingpin, then nothing would be able to stop Max Dillon.

"OHMYGOD!ohmygodohmygodohmygod!" Wade screamed in terror. "Hawkeye, where are you? I'm coming right there and I'm bringing World War 3 with me."

[bkhedr]

Thor nodded at Spiderman as he left on a webline then turned to an approaching Police Seargent

"Greetings noble enforcers of the Law" Thor said "Under normal circumstances we would gladly answer thy questions but we must now respond to an urgent Avengers Summons"

"Hey dont worry about it Thor" the Seargent replied "The way you came out of nowhere and saved the cops of the 52nd from the U-Foes, heck, you and your buddies get a free pass today."

"You have a god's gratitude sir" Thor said with a nod.

Turning to Cyclops Thor then said: "Well X-men wouldst thou join us in our quest to rescue the princess of Asgard and save midgard entire?"

[Spider-Man9X17]

"OHMYGOD!ohmygodohmygodohmygod!" Wade screamed in terror. "Hawkeye, where are you? I'm coming right there and I'm bringing World War 3 with me."

"I'm at the mansion. They tied me up. Hurry up, man. They're making a run for it....oh, dude, one guy just tried on your vintage Invisible Girl panties. And he's a fat guy too."

[Spider-Man9X17]

I'm here to ask if I could stay with you for a while. The AIM, the organization that created Minion, this cyborg, plans again to retrieve this body and bring him back. You, Reed, would not like that. Minion would obviously hunt for you again. I was planning to buy some time and device several tactics to counter their every move and you, the Fantastic Four, as a temporary ally.

"Well, you guys finish up your wonderful reunion. I'm gonna go see what trouble I can get into with the Avengers...I mean...I'm hungry. Later."

[Batman]

I enter the same place from the other day, and shut the door behind me. Nobody's home. For the moment. Looking around, I slowly enter the place. It's old... dirty. If I didn't have a job to do, here, I wouldn't stay a damned minute.

Then, I hear voices. I get onto the stage where the head guy stood, hours ago, and peek behind the curtain. They're bringing in crates full of the stuff. Muscle men, that is. Probably hired hands, willing to score a quick buck. Probably don't even know what they're bringing in.

The room behind the curtain is... bigger, than I thought. It's almost like a smaller warehouse, than a backstage. Perfect for bringing in illegal shipments. Of course, I don't give a damn if they are illegal. It's what they can do that I'm worried about. That's why I'm bringing down this operation. They don't know what they're getting themselves into.

...And that's when I hear a gun click to the back of my head. S***.

Before I can turn around, The guy behind me slams it into the back of my skull, knocking me through the curtain, infront of everyone. The main guy stands up, looking at me as I push myself up.

"Who in the hell are you?", He asks.

Before I can answer, I'm grabbed by the guy behind me, around the neck. Two other guys stop what they're doing and grab my arms, as the main guy walks over. I look up at him, pretending these guys are actually holding me down.

"Caught him snoopin' around. Probably after the shipments." The guy behind me says, putting the gun to the side of my head, like I should give a damn.

The main guy doesn't take his eyes off me.

"You don't know what you're getting yourself into.", I say. That's my way of giving him a fair warning. I'm getting pretty damned impatient with these guys, and if they don't take me seriously, I'm about to show them who they're dealing with.

He raises an eyebrow over his bloodshot eye.

"Oh, I'm quite sure, actually. After all, it is my formula.", He says.

"But you knew that already, I'm sure. What are you? S.H.I.E.L.D? Covert Ops? Or are you simply a pathetic Batman wannabe?", He asks, removing the beanie from my head.

I look at him. My face isn't showing any emotion whatsoever.

"Don't insult me.", I say, with rage found in my voice.

"Now, now. Temper will get you nowhere. Actually, now that I think about it, you are going nowhere."

He turns to the three guys clutching me.

"Finish him. He obviously knows too much. Otherwise he wouldn't be here."

Then, I decide it's time this incognito crap ended. It was never my style. The only reason I ever used it was to get information about the shipments that I couldn't get from... other, sources.

I elbow the guy with his neck around me, before pushing forward, and kicking backwards, sending the guy through the curtain, and crashing to the ground, below the stage. I look over at the two guys holding me, looking for the sign. They display their fangs, ready to bite me.

Oh, by the way. These guys? Vampires. Not mutants. Vampires. I've lived my entire life around these types. Hell, I am one of these types, in a way. And something else. The guy that I killed to get his street clothes? Also a vampire. He attacked me, and I killed him. It's what gave me the idea for this in the first place.

I spin, unsheathing my sword from under my jeans, and slice their heads off. Before their headless bodies get a chance to attack, I slam the blade of the sword into one's chest, and kick the other, slamming him into one of the crates. He crashes through it, soaking himself in the formula. I watch as his body swells up in red, before exploding all over the wall. I pull the sword from the body, and flip it once, to clean the residue off.

I twirl the sword in my hands, a couple times, looking at the main guy. Also a vampire.

"See what your s*** does to them? This stuff is unstable. You'd be killin' them all before you'd be givin' them power. It's over."

He seems... unimpressed. Not that I shouldn't expect it.

"Very well done. I must say, your little display there was most impressive. But it was a mistake. It gave you away.", He says.

I take the sword, and slash the front of my shirt, before ripping it off, revealing the black armor underneath. I then slice off the pants with one move. My arsenal is visible. It's about damned time, too.

"Doesn't matter. I got what I wanted with that. Only problem left is you.", I say, as we circle eachother. He smiles, sadistically, letting his fangs show.

"Well, then... I suppose you'll have to get rid of me, then."

"Seems so."

"It's a shame, really. I was looking forward to more of a fight. But you already wasted some energy on my hired hand. Guess I'll have to suck them dry to get the rest of it, too."

"You don't know me very well, do you?"

"Well, I know you're skilled. I also know you're dead. As far as I'm concerned, that's good enough for me. It will be a pleasure destroying you..."

He unsheathes his cane, revealing another sword. But to my surprise... It's silver. He can't have a blade made of silver. Must've take his own stuff... That's the only explaination I can damn well think of. We stop circling. I hold my sword low. He does the same. This is over. One way or another, He's going down.

"...Blade."

Turning to Cyclops Thor then said: "Well X-men wouldst thou join us in our quest to rescue the princess of Asgard and save midgard entire?" <Cyclops>

"I'd be honored to help."

I turn to ArchAngel and Iceman.

"What about you guys?"

[Electro UK]

"I'm at the mansion. They tied me up. Hurry up, man. They're making a run for it....oh, dude, one guy just tried on your vintage Invisible Girl panties. And he's a fat guy too."

"Wade... come in Wade... you there?"

But Wade wasn't replying, he was rocking himself back and forth. "Taken it all... they've taken it all away from me in one single wipe! WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?... hang on no... did that come out right? Seeing as I'm not actually speaking its so hard to tell... lets try this way... WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY... better."

*Zap*

And then he was in the mansion. "It can't be true... the panites... they must still be there!" He headed for his bedroom. He came to a halt when he noticed Hawkeye. "Mystique! I knew it, you've been after my Invisible Woman collection for years! My dreams were right! You're a lesbian! Where's Frankie? Things are going to get wild!... but first... untie my pal Hawkeye... then the party can begin.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"S'ok, Wade, they ran away. Jarvis shooed them off with a broom. But, since your here, what do you know about Fury's urgent message?"

[The Joker]

On the rooftop of the Daily Bugle,Doctor Octopus stood on two of his mechanical arms.A light snow was beginning to fall,and a cold breeze was picking up.

Octavius took a cigar from his coat pocket and lit it up.He looked at his watch.11:58pm.The wall crawler should be here soon.

It's been too long since he last encountered the pest.Too many schemes ruined by him.So many opportunites to achieve wealth,power and glory,all robbed by that immature brat in red and blue spandex.How it made Octavius' blood boil just thinking of it.

But those days are over.He is thru suffering defeats at the hands of inferiors like Spider-Man.His moment of glory is near.Once Spider-Man is dead,he will see thru this deal with the Gentleman,then kill him and claim all the proceeds of this mysterious master plan.Whatever it is,he knows it's big.But the Gentleman foolishly believes he has the great Octavius on a leash.Oh how he looked forward to proving him wrong.

He looked at his watch again.12:00pm.Suddenly he heard that oh so familiar sound behind him.The sound of THWIP.The wall crawler has arrived.

Octavius turned on his two tentacles and smiled."Good evening Spider-Man.I knew you'd accept my gracious invitation.This is one meeting you'll never forget.I promise you that".

Octavius tossed his cigar away."Now I expect you're worried about the little innocents downstairs.And I don't want you to have any concerns playing on your mind" Ock said mockingly."So first I'll show you the cowering fools downstairs.Then you and I can have a little chat".

[Johnny Blaze]

Shocker whistles through his teeth as Rogue takes the datapad from the titan. He's just getting use to successfully robbing a bank, and now Thanos wants him to take over China? How in the world are they going to take over one of the most powerful countries in the world? He watches Rogue, who appears confident, and so he follows suit. He stands tall and smiles beneath his mask. Alright, so this is what he has to do in return for the power upgrade?

"Consider it done. So when do we start?"

He sounds good, but he still has no idea how they're going to make this work.

"Ain't no time like the present." Rogue suggests, looking at Thanos from the corner of her eye.

Excitement ran through her, now the X-Men would see how powerful she truly was, not thw whole world would. She wasn't second string to Ms. Marvel now.
"Indeed", said Thanos as he motioned for them to step onto the transporter platform.
When the pair took there position, Thanos nodded to the techs to stand ready to send Rogue and Shocker to the hidden base in China.
"There is already a contingent of soldiers in the headquarters awaiting your arrival. Thousands more will arrive within hours. Do not fail me", said Thanos as he moved to the controls and activated the teleporter himself.

With his final lieutenants in place, the invasion would soon begin. Using his personal comm device, Thanos contacted his High Commander, Drexxen.
"High Commander, begin preparations to move the fleet to set up the blockade of Earth. I want all their satellite communications jammed as soon as the ships enter planetary orbit."

"Understood, Lord Thanos."

Thanos terminated the communication and immediately teleported out of the room and back to his private lab. There were still a few things left to check up on, and time was running out.


OOC: Sorry for the slight bunny to get you sent to the Chinese HQ, Twy and JH. If you wish, I will edit it out. :up:

[ElectroFlare]

On the rooftop of the Daily Bugle,Doctor Octopus stood on two of his mechanical arms.A light snow was beginning to fall,and a cold breeze was picking up.

Octavius took a cigar from his coat pocket and lit it up.He looked at his watch.11:58pm.The wall crawler should be here soon.

It's been too long since he last encountered the pest.Too many schemes ruined by him.So many opportunites to achieve wealth,power and glory,all robbed by that immature brat in red and blue spandex.How it made Octavius' blood boil just thinking of it.

But those days are over.He is thru suffering defeats at the hands of inferiors like Spider-Man.His moment of glory is near.Once Spider-Man is dead,he will see thru this deal with the Gentleman,then kill him and claim all the proceeds of this mysterious master plan.Whatever it is,he knows it's big.But the Gentleman foolishly believes he has the great Octavius on a leash.Oh how he looked forward to proving him wrong.

He looked at his watch again.12:00pm.Suddenly he heard that oh so familiar sound behind him.The sound of THWIP.The wall crawler has arrived.

Octavius turned on his two tentacles and smiled."Good evening Spider-Man.I knew you'd accept my gracious invitation.This is one meeting you'll never forget.I promise you that".

Octavius tossed his cigar away."Now I expect you're worried about the little innocents downstairs.And I don't want you to have any concerns playing on your mind" Ock said mockingly."So first I'll show you the cowering fools downstairs.Then you and I can have a little chat".

"Alright Ock, cut to the point." Spider-man said, resting on a wall. Ock was dangerous and Spider-man knew it. Of all the villians Spider-man had fought, Ock may very well have been the toughest.

"We both know you're not here for the pleasant personality of JJJ. What do you want this time?"

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Hello? Anybody home?" Johnny called out, entering the mansion. No one answered.

"Cool. Unguarded fridge," he said to himself, entering the kitchen.

"Lesee, what do we have...turkey, cheese, soda, beer, more beer, starwberries, ah, a six pack...Thor must be home...mustard, milk...since when does jelly come in a tube...K-n-...SICK...means Wade's still hangin' round....and dog food. Kid's still here too."

Johnny grabbed a can of soda and headed for the elevators. He hit the button for the subbasement and popped open the can.

The doors swooshed open and he walked intot he stainless steel hallway, his cruched can clanging against the floor.

"I didn't do it," he called out for anyone who would listen, as he headed into the first room.

"Hawk, you here?" he asked, flipping on the lights. Infirmary. Wanda was lying on one of the beds, very non-pregnant.

"Cool, new kids to corrupt."

Johnny approached the bed, and gently shook Wanda's shoulder.

"Wanda...wake up....where's Cli..."

"GET AWAY!" she screamed, coming fully out of her sedation. "FATHER! HELP!"

"Dude, what giv..."

*BONK*

Wanda threw one of the hospital trays at Johnny, cracking him over the head. As he sat on the floor rubbing his temple, Wanda jumped out of the bed and took off.

"Freakin' wierdos, man. Her and Clint will be perfect together."

[Electro UK]

"Why Wanda, what a pleasant collection you have here." Wade said as he opened Wanda's underwear draw. "My my, Victoria Catalogue, page 83, this missy's got class." He picked out a pair and shoved them into his pocket. "Ah the perfect crime."

He whisteled inoccently as he headed for the door. Popping his head out of the room, he tumbled over a fleeing Wanda. "Well hey there!" he said getting up off the floor. "You're... not pregnant? Jeez! Was it even 9 months since the last season?"

"Wh-who are you? Get away!"

"Who am I? Oh no, don't tell me you've gone and got the amnesia shin dig, the doctor told me it wasn't contagious." Witch took a puzzeled expression to her face.

"D-do I know you?"

"Uh... yeah I'm your lover boy. No infact you're my biatch, when I say we hit the sack, we do it. Now let's hit the sa--"

"OH MY GOD WADE!"

Deadpool sighed. "They always get their memory back just before I get lucky. Time for the blue faced like smiley :(. Yo Hawkeye, I found yer woman... she was um... packing her bags and she started with her underwear."

[Spider-Man9X17]

"MY HEAD HURTS!!" Johnny yelled as he walked up the stairs into the living area. "I GOT A BIG OL' BOO BOO! FRANKIE!"

"Sometimes, I really hate this place," Hawkeye groaned, walking down the hallway.

"CLINT! I thought you put a shock collar on him to keep him away from our bedroom!" Wanda fumed as Hawkeye approached the group.

"Yeah, he kinda figured out how too...wait, what did you just call me?"

"And what's with the amnesia jokes?"

"Seriously, this is no joke," Hawkeye grabbed Wanda by the shoulders. "What's the last thing you remember?"

"Not feeling good, and lying down, and..."

Wanda gasped, grabbing her stomach.

"There was screaming, and my father, and blood and you were there..."

"I saw something like that on one of the blocked channels one night."

"Yeah, speaking of which, there are certain jellies that don't go in the fridge."

"I had the babies," Wanda collapsed into one of the easy chairs. Clint knelt down beside her. She looked him in the eyes.

"And, I tried to have you killed..."

"It wasn't your fault, hun. And it's all over now. C'mon, Pietro's with the kids. I think it's time we go see them. Together."

"I heard something like that on one of Frankie's movies. Then I went to sleep."

"Hey, yeah, about Frankie...she's open minded right...cuz I have a friend in L.A., live with a lotta girls in a big house...kinda into photography, and I may have gotten drunk one night and slipped him your phone number..."

"Uck."

"What?"

"I just pictured that issue in Reed's collection."

[Watchman]

"I am Stephen Grant, I am a millionaire investor"

"I am Jake Lockley, I am a taxicab driver"

"I am Marc Spector and I am...", the moon comes out from some clouds illumining a ghostly figure his cap blowing in the wind. He hears footsteps running down an alley. He sees three men all holding firearms looking scared.

"Where the **** did he go" one of them screams

"I didn't see anybody" another one of them says

"What the hell do you mean you didn't see anybody that thing took Harvey"

"No man your just seeing stuff". One of the guys walks and smacks him across the head.

"The hell you mean just seeing stuff the thing came down from the sky and took him back up."

The other guy looked up, "Uh guyyss". He swoops down and grabs him. Shooting his grappling gun back on to the roof and both go up. The other two make a run for it going in opposie direction. The one that believes run down to a dead end. The white figure jumps down right in back of him. He tries to pull his gun but the figure grabs his arm and breaks it. The man screams in pain.

"Tell me what I want to know" the figure says in a low voice.

The man has a face of terror but manges to get out two words "**** you". A fist crushes the man's face breaking his nose and dislocating his jaw.

"Wrong answer" the figure seems to disappears into the darkness looking for the other. The other man thought he could escape he is almost at the opening of the alley but it tripped by a moon shaped boomerang. The figure grabs him and slams him into the wall. The figure stares into face and yells at him.

"TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR!" the man whimpers. These thugs were working for people who ran a slaving ring. They bought and sold people like toys.

"OK...don't hurt me...the two guys that are the muscle Jack O' Latern and Bushwhacker and two guys in charge...Oh God don't hurt me.... it's Hammerhead and some guy called Raoul Bushman" the figure fills with anger and throws the man at a dumpster which causes a dent in it.

The police arrives and the figure shoots his grappling gun to the roof and goes up. A spotlight goes up quickly catching the figure who goes into the shadows.

"I am Marc Spector, I am Moon Knight"

[Midnight Ice]

<Cyclops>

"I'd be honored to help."

I turn to ArchAngel and Iceman.

"What about you guys?"
"Of course. I wanna know how Juggs can all of a sudden teleport and do cool stuff now. He is way too lame for that kind of stuff. I will meet you guys there, I have a faster way of travel."

Iceman walks over to a nearby fire hydrant that was broken during the fight, with water spraying out every which way. He stands on top of it.

"Lets see if I can do this again. Haven't tried it since Doom put me back in total control of my powers."

Iceman closes his eyes and concentrates. He feels himself being pulled away as he transforms into water and moves down into the hydrant and into the city's water system.

In Avengers Mansion...


There is a sound of an explosion of water coming from a bathroom.

Iceman walks out of the bathroom to see a room full of heroes.

"Whats up guys? You really ought to tell Wade to watch what he flushes."

[bkhedr]

Thor watched as Icerman left through the watermain then said: "It is decided. Let us heed Iceman's example and make haste to Avengers mansion."

With that Thor spun his hammer over his head, and focused on the image of Avengers Mansion. Within moments a vortex had built up to envelop not only Thor but Cyclops and Archangel as well, and when it dissipated all three heroes stood on the front lawn of Avengers mansion.

"I hope I did not unsettle thee overly much my friends." Thor said without turning as he walked towards the front door of the mansion and let himself in.

[SuperFerret]

I can feel his strength as he envelopes me in his green clad arms.

I make a face and push him easily away.

"Look...Harry..right? Harry...this isn't right. Whatever Norman said to you he lied. I am your sister, yes and I am more than willing to accept you as family. But only is you disown Norman as your father."

Smooth move Sarah..turning the weird-O against his father..should have just jumped off the bridge.
With a line of course.

"Turn against Norman? That's what Parker tried to get me to do for years and it never worked."

I reach into my "bag of tricks" and wrap my hand around a pumpkin bomb.

"And just asking me to, that's so... uninspired. You really should try to be more convincing if you're going to try and break up happy families."

With a quick motion of my arm, I let the bomb fly at her.

[Venom160]

<Cyclops>

"Not at all Thor."

We walk into the mansion.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"They're beautiful."

"That's cuz they look like their mom."

"I see some of the Barton ruggedness in them."

Quicksilver rolled his eyes in good humor as Clint adn Wanda fussed over the children. The mini reunion was interuppted by the door buzzer going off.

"Johnny, go see who's coming in! Maybe those deadbeats finally answered my transmission."

Johnny peaked his head in the door.

"I don't work for you anymore."

"Then I'll have your @$$ for trepassing."

"I'm going," Johnny groaned, walking down the stairs. He made it to the living room just as Thor, Cyclops, and Angel walked in the door. Iceman came down the hallway from the bathroom.

"Yeah, now it's party time. Clint and Wanda are sorry they couldn't come down to greet you, but it seems there are two new little Maximoffs/Bartons in the mansion. Pictures with the happy couple are available for a small fee. Beers are in the fridge. Enjoy."

[The Joker]

"Alright Ock, cut to the point." Spider-man said, resting on a wall. Ock was dangerous and Spider-man knew it. Of all the villians Spider-man had fought, Ock may very well have been the toughest.

"We both know you're not here for the pleasant personality of JJJ. What do you want this time?"

Octavius smiled again."What's this?? Spider-Man cutting out the banter?? Now that's a first.Usually I can't get you to shut your juvenile mouth for more than 5 seconds".

"What do you think I want Spider-Man?? I want you dead.And I want to spit on your grave.But before all that I want the immense pleasure of killing you slowly.Then I'll dump your body in the Bugle offices,and let my glory be spread all across the the front pages of every newspaper in the country".

Ock rose on two of his tentacles."But such a momentus occasion like this,is not without it's surprises.There is someone else who wants to join in the festivities.I know you'll make him feel welcome" Octavius said mockingly,as he reached into his coat pocket and took out a small communicator.

"Come on up" he said into it.Suddenly the roof began shake all around them.....

[ElectroFlare]

Octavius smiled again."What's this?? Spider-Man cutting out the banter?? Now that's a first.Usually I can't get you to shut your juvenile mouth for more than 5 seconds".

"Come on up" he said into it.Suddenly the roof began shake all around them.....

"You know Ock, some Pepto might help with that indigestion." Spider-man said as the roof shook tremondously. What could Ock have up his sleeve now?

He jumped off the wall he was resting on and landed flat footed on the roof, facing Ock. And he waited for whatever was coming.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v739/Blckblt/spideyff3kf.jpg

[Electro UK]

A section of the roof exploded as a bright light shot out and streamed up towards the sky. Spider-man had to squint through the brightness as the object looped round and smashed into the roof once more. Only then could he notice certain features. One of those features, was a mask with lightening bolts shooting out from it. That was all he needed to know.

"Web head!" Max cried with joy. "Long time no see!" sparks slithered quickly around his body as his hands began to form two spheres that glowed brighter with every second. "It's gonna be one heck of a show."

[ElectroFlare]

"Electro! Haven't seen you in a while! How have you been? Oh yeah, Hawkeye's fist says 'hi'!" Spider-man said, stepping back.

This was more then Spider-man expected.

"How was your stay in the hospital? You enjoy the food they have there? Or did that little kid in the bed next to you creep you out too much? Spider-man joked, readying both his fists. This was going to be one hell of a fight.

"Ock, I'm surprised at you. You're still working with him? I thought that you'd realize by now that he's just some whiny kid who stuck his finger in an electrical socket. You don't think you can beat me yourself? What happened to the great Otto Octavious?"

[ElectroFlare]

"Alright Doom, are we gonna go, or what? I wanna rip apart some o' those european police cars. Those sirens are even more annoying then the New York ones." Cain said, holding his new equipment that Doom had given him.

Almost instantly there were two Juggernauts standing in front of Doom.

"This is gonna be a lot of fun!" They both proclaimed and laughed...

[Electro UK]

"They're beautiful."

"That's cuz they look like their mom."

"I see some of the Barton ruggedness in them."

Quicksilver rolled his eyes in good humor as Clint adn Wanda fussed over the children. The mini reunion was interuppted by the door buzzer going off.

"Can you name this one after me? You should name this one after me." Wade said as he pointed at one of the babies. "Oh that'd be so cool. Widdle Wade! Oh wait... don't want to go there again (see Deadpool team up for you non-Deadpool type people that smell). Stay there, I'll go get the cheese grater."

[twylight]

"Turn against Norman? That's what Parker tried to get me to do for years and it never worked."

I reach into my "bag of tricks" and wrap my hand around a pumpkin bomb.

"And just asking me to, that's so... uninspired. You really should try to be more convincing if you're going to try and break up happy families."

With a quick motion of my arm, I let the bomb fly at her.


I'm related to this guy?

I can see him putting his hand in the bag, but I need to know what he's going to pull out before I move. My headache is getting worse and all I want is to go home and sleep.

I have to get away...think Sarah..think.....

He pulls out a bomb and I flip back dodging it. It explodes taking a chunk from the top of the tower and raining cement in the water below it. The dull splash sounds make their way to my ear, dulled though it is from the blast.

"Look..Harry I'm not interested in a fight and hey! Happy families all around." Yeah witty and charming...hardly...I flick my eye over him, grasping at plans and ideas.

What the heck.

I launch myself at him, spinning in mid-air and giving him a roundhouse kick to the face. Landing I twist my body and spin around ahain giving him a nice upper cut to the jaw.

It shouldn't hurt him, too bad.

She hits me and I see red for a second, and then my arms shoots out at her, almost on it's own, grabbing her by the throat.

"Bad move little sister."

I toss her off the bridge easily. Like mother, like daughter.

[Watchman]

"Where to boss?" asked Jake

"Just get me to a decent bar" the man said getting into the cab.

"Why? What's wrong with that one" pointing to the one the man just walked out of.

"These two guys showed one big blond guy and some freak who had a pumpkin for a head. They cleared everyone one out and locked the doors". Jake dropped him off and went back to being Spector. He parked the taxi right outside the bar and put on his costume.

"This is easier then I thought" he said to himself and went to the back and went to the fuse box.

Back in the bar Bushwacker and Jack O' Lantern were waiting for the bosses to show up.

"Where are they?"

"Don't worry they'll be here". The lights went out and both of them stood up. Bushwacker's arm turned into a gun and Jack took out a pumpkin bomb.

"Are you crazy you can't use that in here" a cresecnt shaped blade went flying into Bushwacker's gun arm disablingit. He falls to the ground on his knees holding it in pain. A strong kick to the face knocks him out. Jack jumps on his glider and throws the bomb down creating a hole in the wall. He flies out but Moon Kinght fires his grapple gun latching onto the glider.

"Spider-Man?" Jack looks down and sees Moon Knight "Who the hell are you" taking out a bomb.

"Not yet" tossing a blade hitting the glider. The glider starts to head down towards the streets. The bomb explodes knocking Jack off the glider. Moon Knight jumps and catches him in the air. He fires off his grappling gun hooking to a roof. They both go swinging into window of some apartment. A woman screams and Moon Knight punches him in the face cracking his helmut. "Now tell me where Hammerhead and Raoul are" he punches him again and Jack can barely speak.

"Warehouse 838 down by the docks" Moon Knight starts to leave out the window "Who...are...you"

"Me I'm the god damn Moon Knight" Jack falls unconscious and Moon Knight leaps out the window toward the docks.


OOC: That god damn part was a joke you all know where I got it from.

[twylight]

She hits me and I see red for a second, and then my arms shoots out at her, almost on it's own, grabbing her by the throat.


I try to duck away as I see his hand coming at me, but I don't move fast enough.

"Gluck.." I gasp as his hand tightens around my throat and he swings me over the edge of the tower.

He's as strong and as fast as I am, augmented with the same serum.

I can feel his fingers relaxing around my throat and all I can think about is how bad a day it's been. Faces flash across my mind, Trudy, Beth, Parker...Sassy....my cat? I'm thinking about my cat..of all..

I know what he's planning, I can see it in his yellow eyes. His fingers loosen more allowing air to leak into my lungs and I'm releaved for a second, before I realize my doom.

He's going to drop me off the bridge, and this time there is no Spider-Man to save me. At this height I should be able to survive the fall. should I really don't want to test it. My eyes go wide and my hair whips across his green clad arm, twisting into a million little knots in the wind.

"Bad move little sister."

And he releases. My mind blurs and instict's take over. Forgetting the amulets on my arm I twist in the air I trying to grab onto anything. I close my eyes waiting for the impending impact....my arm jerks and and I stop. Slowly I peek my eye open and looks down at the water. I was a hundred feet closer than I had been, and the cars roared past.

My eyes grow wide. I'm to far to have caught the ledge so what...?

I tilt my head up and gasp.
My right hand lays flat against the bricks, stuck firm....like....Spider-Man...My mind races.

The blood transfusion. I flashback to the day, I'd laid on the bed, weak and wounded as Peter Parkers blood was pumped into my body.

I shift my focus past my hand and look up at the grotesque and leering face leaning over the edge, the yellow eyes glowing in the dark dusk of morning.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Can you name this one after me? You should name this one after me." Wade said as he pointed at one of the babies. "Oh that'd be so cool. Widdle Wade! Oh wait... don't want to go there again (see Deadpool team up for you non-Deadpool type people that smell). Stay there, I'll go get the cheese grater."

"Wade!" Hawkeye grabbed him by the collar, pulling him back. "We don't need a cheese grater, whatever that means. Maybe if we get a dog someday, we'll name him after you. Sound good?"

[Electro UK]

"No dice." Wade replied. "If not the baby, then the British Isles when we take over the world. I'll call it Wade World. The Welsh will be enslaved and the Scottish put through torture." Clint stared at Deadpool, blankly. "Oh shut it. You're just upset cause you weren't in the Ultimate Avengers movie."

[Logan Howlett]

I been cirlein the block for nearly twenty minutes now. I know that as usual, we got some sorta crisis that only us heroes can face, but I dont know if I can do it today. I sit here on my bike, just drivin, and smokin. Tryin to smoke as much of this cigar as quikly as I can......like its gona take away the pain. I wana walk in there.........just jump into buisness and get whatever national crisis we got this time taken care of and get out, but TODAY of all days...........why........why..........Mariko..... ...why did you have to die on me...........why did......why did they take you.......from me. I try and dry up the tears streamin down my eyes. I start wipen em' away, not payin attention to the road, suddenly I take my hands away from my eyes and theres a Semi truck headed right for me.

*CRASH!!!*

We collide and I get swept under him and leave half of my face behind. I lay there on the ground, my hog in peices. Truck driver gets out and stand over me. Then he asks the dumbest question I ever heard.

You alright fela?

What do you think?

I start to stand up, guy try to help. How thoughtfull. I reach into my pocket and grab a half broken stogie, light it up and wait as my face starts to heal.

Listen pal.......I........I aint got no insurance....b-but I'll pay ya what I can..........

Tell ya what........this ones on me.......

I say as my face starts to heal fully.

W-what are you?

.........Havin a bad day.

Looks like I'm walkin from here, its alright, not more than a mile up the road. Each step I think about Mariko, about every moment I spent with her, every embrace..............finaly I'm at the doorsteps of the mansion before I know it. I ring the bell and stand there smokin a stogie, finaly someone opens the door and come to greet me.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"No dice." Wade replied. "If not the baby, then the British Isles when we take over the world. I'll call it Wade World. The Welsh will be enslaved and the Scottish put through torture." Clint stared at Deadpool, blankly. "Oh shut it. You're just upset cause you weren't in the Ultimate Avengers movie."

"Clint, get him outta here."

Clint reached into his quiver beside the bed and pulled out a small red ball. He squeezed it twice, producing a high, squeaking sound.

"Here Wade! Go get it!" Hawkeye threw the ball down the hallway, and it began to bounce down the steps.

[The Joker]

"Electro! Haven't seen you in a while! How have you been? Oh yeah, Hawkeye's fist says 'hi'!" Spider-man said, stepping back.

This was more then Spider-man expected.

"How was your stay in the hospital? You enjoy the food they have there? Or did that little kid in the bed next to you creep you out too much? Spider-man joked, readying both his fists. This was going to be one hell of a fight.

"Ock, I'm surprised at you. You're still working with him? I thought that you'd realize by now that he's just some whiny kid who stuck his finger in an electrical socket. You don't think you can beat me yourself? What happened to the great Otto Octavious?"

"Childish prattle.That's all you're capable of.But then what should I expect from a fool with the mentality of a mere child" Ock shouted as he walked over beside Electro.

"The great Otto Octavius stands before you fool.And I am about to render you limb from limb,and Max here is going to char your remains to ashes and scatter them to the four winds".

Doc Ock flexed out his four tentacles."I've upgraded my adamantium arms.I have added some new features that are simply to die for.I think even you'll appreciate my craftsmanship.I've been burning the candle at both ends webslinger".

"When being a man of such super criminal genius,you must stay on top of your game.And the new endeavors I am involved in require very special skills.Which is why Electro has joined me.And when he heard your death was part of the bargain,well wild horses could not have dragged him away" Ock said grandly.

Ock raised himself again on his tentacles."And nothing can stop me now"

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e345/DoctorOck/Comeandgetme.jpg

"Now that we've gotten the pleasantries out of the way,why don't you try and save the hostages downstairs.Max here has planted a bomb which will level this entire building in 5 minutes.But alas the hostages are a little tied up to evacuate.Perhaps you can save them.All you have to do is get thru us first".

[Electro UK]

"Clint, get him outta here."

Clint reached into his quiver beside the bed and pulled out a small red ball. He squeezed it twice, producing a high, squeaking sound.

"Here Wade! Go get it!" Hawkeye threw the ball down the hallway, and it began to bounce down the steps.

Deadpool starred unamused at Hawkeye. "Funny, gain 2 kids in one Universe, get your whole family killed off round about the same time in another." he stormed off as the door bell rang.

"Oh my stars and garters!" he squeeled as he opened the door. "Wolverine!?!?! You looking to join the Avengers? I mean it wouldn't be a first."

[Logan Howlett]

I stare at the energetic psycho like he's a................well, an inergetic psycho. I aint to much in the mood for slap happy and stupid today, but it aint like he'd cut it out if I wanted him to.

We'll see. Right now just point me to some smokes and some booze. I aint havin a good day..........Scott and Angel here yet?

[Midnight Ice]

"Man, the first sign that I am a 'B' list super hero must be when I arrive at the Avengers Mansion via their tiolet and say 'Hi!' and no one responds."

Iceman lowers the temperature in the room, hoping to let the others know he is actually standing in the room.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Quit it, Bobby. You're ruining the cameras," Johnny sais as he wound a disposable camera. "So, who's getting the first picture with the little ones. Half price."

"You'll get your turn!" Wade shouted as he turned from the door. "I dunno what X-men are here Wolvie. so many have come in the last 5 minutes I think they've merged with us. Avengers-men. Nah, sucky title. Anyway, the kitchen's 33rd door on your left... or is it 42nd? this place is too big."

He sniffed the air. "Oh jesus man! You smell of Canadian Beer! Worse yet, you smell of Canada and beer! Shower's 23rd door on the right... or is that the 56th?"

[Spider-Man9X17]

Hawkeye grabbed his quiver and strapped it onto his back as he and Quicksilver walked down to the main living area. Johnny was going on some shpiel about pictures, and Wade was provoking Wolverine.

"Business as usual," he said offhandedly as he approached the group.

"Well, nice of you all to finally join us."

"You can all relax, Angel is here" Warren said as he flew in through the open doors and landed infront of everyone gathered. He folded his metal wings behind his back.

"...but now what?" Warren said eyeing the unusual group of heroes gathered before him.

"I was hopin' someone could tell me. I've been running tests of the energy residue left behind from Juggs' teleportation, but I've been outta the loop for a week or so. Havin' kids'll do that though. Ain't that right, Johnny?"

"Huh?"

"Exactly."

[Toby_Temple]

I'm here to ask if I could stay with you for a while. The AIM, the organization that created Minion, this cyborg, plans again to retrieve this body and bring him back. You, Reed, would not like that. Minion would obviously hunt for you again. I was planning to buy some time and device several tactics to counter their every move and you, the Fantastic Four, as a temporary ally.

Mr. Fanstastic:
Yes. I remember you now. I believe that a certain Dr. Necker intervened and saved me from your initial attack in La Maison St Jacques restaurant.

Death's Head:
That would be Minion, not me. Yes?

Mr. Fanstastic:
Ah yes. Sorry. You were able to override the program within that cyborgs brain and took control of it. Impressive. I still don't know how your conciousness overwhelmed the others. I guess it my device helped you. Still, alot of things are left unexplained. Sorry about Ben and Johnny's "welcome", De...Death's Head right?

Death's Head:
Yes Reed. And nevermind apologizing for them. Even though I have no organic brain, I could still comprehend human emotions. So, about my er.. request...does that mean its granted? Yes?

Mr. Fanstastic:
Sure. Its an honor to accomodate my futuristic acquaintance. I hope this time we could spend more time together that I may know more on your current condition and help you in anyway.

Death's Head:
I also want to help you guys out. I was able to detect several disturbances occuring on country. Also, my sensors detected a distress signal calling you out for help.

Mr. Fanstastic:
Its a distress call from Nick Fury, head of S.H.I.E.L.D. Johnny went out in response to that call. There are also others who had received the call. They are currently heading to the Avengers Headquarters.

Death's Head:
Tell me the coordinates and I will report to them in your behalf.


Mr. Fanstastic:
As you wish. And thanks.

Reed informed Death's Head of the location of the Avengers Mansion. The cyborg quickly saved the information on his memory. Death's Head promised to stay longer in this timeline as long as he could and bid a temporal farewell to Reed. Death's Head left Baxter Building and headed for the Avengers Mansion.

[SuperFerret]

I shift my focus past my hand and look up at the grotesque and leering face leaning over the edge, the yellow eyes glowing in the dark dusk of morning.

I don't know how she did that, or why she's able to do it, but in a few moments it won't matter.

"HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!"

I step off of the bridge, simultaneously pressing the button on my wrist that'll summon my glider. I fall towards Sarah, making my body into a missile, and I slam into her feet first.

[Toby_Temple]

Johnny's intercom:
Hey Johnny. Its Reed. Remember the big blue cyborg back here? He's coming to the mansion. Yes. The Avengers Mansion. He's coming to help you guys out. I want you to inform them so that the same thing that happend here with you and Ben will not happen there. OK?

[Midnight Ice]

"Hey Warren, good to see you made it here. Also glad to see that I beat you. As for whats goin on, I dunno. Juggs just up and vanished, and here all us heroes are in one place. They way I see it, that usually means something big is about to go down."

[Sparta*]

"Hey Warren, good to see you made it here. Also glad to see that I beat you. As for whats goin on, I dunno. Juggs just up and vanished, and here all us heroes are in one place. They way I see it, that usually means something big is about to go down."

<Archangel>

"Well we can't all rely on the toilet as our primary source of transportation" Warren said jokingly.

"But you're right...something big is about to go down...again. The way Juggernaut teleported away...it leaves an unsettling feeling in my stomach. Whoever has the technology to warp Cain's big ass like that is a serious threat. Can't us heroes catch a break?!" Warren looked around and was met with blank stares

"oh come on...you can't honestly tell me you wouldn't all rather be soaking up the sun on the beach next to your private resort drinking nothing but ice cold Corona's while getting massaged by the lovely on staff masseuses everyday?!" Warren said, staring at the group while having a flashback

"ahh, thats the life..." Warren said as he was met with more blank stares

"You guys are crazy...don't get me wrong, I love being a superhero...but it's also nice to cut back once in a while. Anyway............Juggernaut......what do we do about him?"

[ElectroFlare]

"Childish prattle.That's all you're capable of.But then what should I expect from a fool with the mentality of a mere child" Ock shouted as he walked over beside Electro.

"The great Otto Octavius stands before you fool.And I am about to render you limb from limb,and Max here is going to char your remains to ashes and scatter them to the four winds".

Doc Ock flexed out his four tentacles."I've upgraded my adamantium arms.I have added some new features that are simply to die for.I think even you'll appreciate my craftsmanship.I've been burning the candle at both ends webslinger".

"When being a man of such super criminal genius,you must stay on top of your game.And the new endeavors I am involved in require very special skills.Which is why Electro has joined me.And when he heard your death was part of the bargain,well wild horses could not have dragged him away" Ock said grandly.

Ock raised himself again on his tentacles."And nothing can stop me now"

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e345/DoctorOck/Comeandgetme.jpg

"Now that we've gotten the pleasantries out of the way,why don't you try and save the hostages downstairs.Max here has planted a bomb which will level this entire building in 5 minutes.But alas the hostages are a little tied up to evacuate.Perhaps you can save them.All you have to do is get thru us first".


"WHAT!?" Spider-man yelled and instantly fired several web balls at both Ock and Electro. The momentary destraction might be enough. Quickly and subtely pressing his avengers beacon on his belt, he attempted to leap up and over the villians...

[Electro UK]

"Ain't gonna work that easily Spider-man!" Electro yelled. "I fried ya dumb beacon the second you got here." he raised his hand and blasted Spider-man, who was knocked off course and flew down the hole Electro had created.

Max flew over the top and blasted a whole through the wall. A few hostages were in this room, attempting to untie themselves. "Stay still you losers! You're going nowhere! Now if everyone doesn't mind, I've got buisness with the bug."

Thor understood that the heroes' jokes were meant to relieve tensions, but his wife was still missing, his embassy still destroyed, his people still hopsitilized, and all the joking in the world would not have lightened his mood even one iota.

The Thunder God sighed and looked at Clint then said: "Hawkeye my friend, pon my arrival earlier Jarvis did inform me that Wanda had been kidnapped. Pray thee tell me; hath thou been succesfull in retrieving our fellow Avenger?"

Thor wasnt looking for sympathy, just some good news to tide him over till he could get his hands on the Juggernaut again.

"She's fine, big guy. She had twins during the little 'episode', but they're upstairs now."

The group entered the War Room.

"Juggernaut's energy signature has actually been popping from place to place for the past few weeks now," he said, looking over his readouts. "The connecting point is the same place, but I can't get a fix on it. It couldn't exist outside of or time, our space, or both. And if it keeps moving, getting a fix could be impossible."

Clint sat down and turned on the hologlobe.

"I've been tracking three more distinct signatures as well. They all keep transporting to the same place. One is some thug that Spidey likes to duke it out with every now and again. One is an X-Man, but I can't tell who. There are several energy and life signatures occupying one space," Hawkeye glanced up at the three X-Men who had assembled.

"And one," he sighed heavily, sitting back in his chair, "is Cap."

[JewishHobbit]

Shocker and Rogue appear on a pedistal in the center of a large room. They are surrounded by armed men, all of whom stare at them expectantly. One then steps forward to greet them, and upon reaching them, he kneels on one knee and lowers his eyes.

"Welcome chosen generals of Lord Thanos, to the Tomb of Qin Shi Huangdi. I am Hypron and have lead these people while awaiting your arrival. I and the 12,000 others who are here are now under your servace. What would you have us do?"

Shocker smiles. Now this is interesting. He looks to Rogue and then back to Hypron.

"You can start by standing."

Hypron does as he is told as Shocker turns to Rogue.

"So how do we go about taking over China?"

[ElectroFlare]

"Uhhh..." Spider-man gasped, momentarily disoriented. He rubbed his masked head. He then looked up at Ock and Electro.

With a simple twist of his wrists and swing of his arms, the rubble from the broken roof was flying at both of them.

"Watch out!" Spider-man yelled, using his web shooters to roughly push the hostages against a wall. There was no time for being careful...

[Keyser Soze]

Bullseye had Daredevil right where he wanted him.

After some searching, he had found his nemesis unconscious, trapped under a fallen bookcase. Grinning maliciously, Bullseye crouched down over Daredevil, holding a shard of glass to his throat.

"I could kill you right now," he snarled, "And then it would be over. All the pain you've caused me. All the times you've got in my way. I'd be gettin' payback once and for all."

Bullseye paused, gleefully playing with the idea in his head. But then he stood up, dropping the glass by his side. He rested the boot on the side of Daredevil's face.

"But I ain't gonna kill you. Yet. It ain't gonna be that easy. By the time I'm ready to finish you off, you'll be wishin' I'd killed you right here, right now. But until I do, remember that you're only alive because I've allowed you to live. Think about that...Matt."

Spitting a wad of blood onto the ground, Bullseye stepped over the fallen Daredevil and exited the giftshop. As he staggered out of Grand Central Station, the damage done to his body in the battle now taking effect, Bullseye began to plan out his revenge.

He wasn't quite ready to kill Daredevil.

First, he would kill Matt Murdock...

[Electro UK]

"Uhhh..." Spider-man gasped, momentarily disoriented. He rubbed his masked head. He then looked up at Ock and Electro.

With a simple twist of his wrists and swing of his arms, the rubble from the broken roof was flying at both of them.

"Watch out!" Spider-man yelled, using his web shooters to roughly push the hostages against a wall. There was no time for being careful...

A small rock struck Max on the forehead, it sent him back in a stumble, tripping over. He held his wound, it was bleeding. Blood trickled down his head.

"You little ****!" Max said in a rage. "I'll kill you!" he tossed some bolts at spider-man.

[The Joker]

Ock raised his tentacles above his head deflecting the falling rubble.

"Poor move,even for you webslinger" Ock snarled as he picked up several chunks of the rubble and hurled them at Spider-Man.

"Do you really think you can protect over 50 hostages from both of us,all on your own?? That ridiculous notion suggests you're more stupid than I gave you credit for".

Ock shot out a tentacle and snagged Betty Brant.She screamed in horror as Ock dangled her out thru the hole in the editors room wall.

"Thirty storeys straight down Spider fool.Do you think they'll need a mop and bucket to clean her up??" Ock said with a sinister smile.Betty screamed again in terror,as she dangle from Ock's tentacle above the terrifying height below her.

"Surrender now,or else I drop her,then I'll snatch another one,and another,and another until you decide to give up.Just try and stop me".

[Spider-Man9X17]

Johnny pushed his finger against his comm as the transmission came through.

Johnny's intercom:
Hey Johnny. Its Reed. Remember the big blue cyborg back here? He's coming to the mansion. Yes. The Avengers Mansion. He's coming to help you guys out. I want you to inform them so that the same thing that happend here with you and Ben will not happen there. OK?

"Hey guys, I think we're gonna add another 'guest' to the party. Try not to stare at his face when he gets here, 'k? Especially if you ate within the last year or so."

[Electro UK]

Deadpool wondered down the manson hall to spot Iceman and Archangel. "Okay 3 X-men... you guys are getting me worried we're about to have a c-c-cro-- I can't say it,just the very thought makes me shiver."

He turned and carried on some more to spot Cyclops. "No! No it can't be true! X-men! Avengers! Damn! It's a crossover! Run for the hills! The Marvel universe is about to change as we know it! Argh! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Wade's screams could be heard from outside the mansion.

[Watchman]

Moon Knight lands on a building right across the docks. Heavy rain starts and the moon is full. It is time to stop these monsters he sees a light goes on and he spots Hammerhead and Raoul Bushman. He hates making a direct attack on them but they must be stop now. He fires a his grappling gun and swing right through the window. He the lightbulb and goes right for Hammerhead who took out his gun.

"What the.." a kick to the hand disarms him but he still just as deadly. He charges knocking me into a wall. He goes back and charges again but Moon Knight jumps out the way just in time. He's stun Moon Knight makes takes the opportunity and kicks leg. He hears a snap and Hammerhead falls to the ground.

"You son of **** I'll ***** kill you" he shouts in pain. Moon Knight moves over to Bushman who now is standing on a table.

"My my Spector look how much you have grown but I've grown too", Moon Knight jumps on the table and throws a punch but Bushman catches it. Bushman throws a punch into Moon Knight's mid section knocking him on his back. Bushman jumps onto Moon Knight. He is much stronger Moon Knight thought but how? Bushman pushes Moon Knight's head back a little exposing his throat. "Big changes have happened to me", Moon Knight stares and at Bushman's jaws and was shocked at what he saw, two long fangs. He gathered most of his strength and kicked him off. They both got up facing each other. Moon Knight threw a blade and it smacked Bushman in the stomach with barely a reaction.

Suddenly more people came in. Their eyes were glowing red and they all had fangs. Moon Knight was going to stick around he needed to escape and rethink everything. He picked up Hammerhead and jumped out the window firing his grappling gun and making a not so nice landing in the middle of street.

"Where you bitten" he shouted at Hammerhead

"No...what the hell our you talking about" he said holding his leg. Moon Knight spots a police car in the distance a places a piece of paper on Hammerhead. He shoots his gun at a building at flys off. He going to need help he thought he needs to find the slayer.

The cop car pulls up to Hammerhead and two cops get out.

"Well what do we have here" said one of the cops

"I didn't do **** you can't pin me for anything I want me lawyer"

"Oh I bet we can get you for something...what's this" the cop picks up the piece of paper and reads it. "From your not so friendly Moon Knight"

Thor wasnt looking for sympathy, just some good news to tide him over till he could get his hands on the Juggernaut again.

<Archangel>

Warren looked over and saw that Thor was upset.

"Thor must have not liked my private resort comment...I shouldn't have joked when so much is on the line for him...I just did it because in the end good usually prevails...well at least through my experiences...like when Thor saved me from the Marauders. Thor has lived so much longer then I have though...he has seen so much more pain and cruelty. I have to devote my efforts to helping him...I owe him as much" Warren thought. Just then he saw Deadpool run out of the mansion screaming something about Crossovers

"And it seems like Wade does enough joking around for everyone here" Warren thought again as he walked over to Thor.

"Hey, sorry about the jokes Thor...I know how much is at stake here...I was just trying to lighten the mood. I know what it's like when a loved one is missing...and I know that no amount of jokes can relieve the worry in your heart...I guess what i'm trying to say is...we'll find Lady Sif" Archangel felt stupid trying to console a God, but he felt it was necessary to explain himself.

890 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan.
Outside Avengers Mansion...........

Nice place. So where are the doorbells? Or I'll just let them notice me with their scanners. Yes?

[bkhedr]

"Hey, sorry about the jokes Thor...I know how much is at stake here...I was just trying to lighten the mood.

"Aye, that we will my friend, and thine apology is unnecessary, for it did please me greatly to see thee well and soaring once more. Thou art a true warrior and friend." Thor said as he put a hand on Warren's shoulder

He knew it could not have been easy for Archangel to fly headfirst into a superpowered fight in a subway tunnel, as he had done earlier at central park and Thor appreciated it more than he had time to say.

Now Archangel had aided him yet again. This time with words of encouragment which seemed to light a fresh fire under the Thunder god.

Turning back towards the hologlobe and laying his hands flat upon the meeting table Thor addressed the group

"If Hawkeye's information is correct then Captain America will not be joining us. Mayhaps he and the unidentified X-man art already combating the threat which we are e'en now assembled to face, it matters not. What matters is we must take swift action! It is within Mjolnir's power to follow a teleporter if the energy used can be identified and traced...Johhny Storm...is there some technology at the Fantastic Four's disposal which might provide such?"

"I dunno. Maybe. Reed doesn't let me play in the lab anymore. Me and Ben broke his dohickeymajigger and whatchamacallitbob during our last game of tag. And then there was the non-toxic Drain-O I stole and put in Ben's cereal...we ended up having to buy a new toilet. But, if you really wanna know, I guess you could call....by the way, our gruesome guest has arrived."

[Spider-Man9X17]

Hawkeye brought up the outside security cameras.

"Wow, and people think our costumes are ugly," he said, buzzing the new 'guest' in.

"Jarvis, make sure he gets to the War Room, would ya?"

[Electro UK]

"Okay is everyone at the frigging Avengers mansion? This is getting worse than house of... wait... did Venom160 just leave? Does this mean... OH BOY! CYCLOPS IS AN NPC!"

"You called?" Cyclops asked poking his head round the door.

"Nah I'm just bugging you around cause you're an NPC now and there's nothing you can do about it."

"I can too."

"I can too? Jeez Electro UK sucks at writing you, you'd never say that."

Wham! Wade went flying through the room and landed in the hallway.

Just for that comment, I may ditch you and take up Cyclops Wade.

"I'll be good."

"No, Cap always lets us know what he's doing, even if it is a solo mission. He's never been one to up and leave us hanging. I don't think any of the X-Men are, either. And whatever this thing is, it's huge. Teleporting some of the Earth's most powerful beings across the universe? Cap ain't taking care of that by himself."

Hawkeye turned to Yellowjacket.

"Hank, you head over to the Baxter Building, see what Reed has in the way of energy tracking. Thor, me and you will prep whatever we have here, and see what you can find. Johnny, make sure Wade doesn't eat anything under the sink. Our new guest will get a briefing once he arrives. Bobby and Warren. Who on your team haven't you seen in a while? Who could be carrying different life forces with them?"

[Toby_Temple]

"I dunno. Maybe. Reed doesn't let me play in the lab anymore. Me and Ben broke his dohickeymajigger and whatchamacallitbob during our last game of tag.

Johnny went down to get the door. Death's Head was just waiting outside.

[kang604]

Doom allowed a sly smile to pass across his face under his mask. The Juggernaut would indeed prove to be a useful and most powerful ally in his plans.


" Mr. Marko, my battallions are waiting in the fields outside this castle. You will take as many as you need and using whatever transportation you deem neccessary make your way to Paris. That is where it begins. Once you are there, your mission is simple.

Complete Obliteration. Annhilate everything and everyone. Remember: your main role is distraction. You must cause enough damage and carnage to grab the attention of X-Men and The Avengers."

Victor paused, allowing the information to sink in. But if there was one thing the Juggernaut understood, it was wreckless and merciless havoc.

" Now go... and destroy in the name of DOOM "

[kang604]

Nick Fury frowned as he shook the empty Advil bottle only to find nothing at the bottom. He had been popping pills all day to stop the throbbing headache he had developed and now had run out. Frustrated, he threw the bottle against the wall, where it landed beside several empty cans of Red Bull.

The bags under Fury's eyes had darkened and his body was starting to give out. But he couldn't quit. The nation, the world for that matter, depended on him.

But SHIELD could only do so much. He needed help. Alot of help. Reaching over to a communicator, he cleared his throat and relayed a transmission:

" Calling all heroes, this is Fury once again. Dr. Richards, Avengers, X-Men, anyone who will listen we have a real situation here. SHIELD satellites have detected rumblings from Latveria. Victor Von Doom is at it again. Im not taking any chances this time, we take him down hard.

and for good. "

"Yes. That is what I wanted to hear."

Hawkeye picked up his commlink.

"Hawkeye to Fury. We'll have a Quinjet in the air in five minutes."

Hawkeye turned to the assembled group

"I can't speak for anyone other than the Avengers, but all the help we can get will be much appreciated."

Hawkeye powered down the War Room and headed for the hangar.

-

Johnny opened the door. The sight of Reed's new friend still made him want to hurl.

"Now you get to see how the big boys operate. Call just came in from Fury himself. We're headed to Latveria. If you wanna come, I suggest you get your butt in gear."

Johnny turned and headed for the elevator, hitting the button for the hangar and subbasement.

[Duker Jay]

Seeing Reed walk in calmed Ben, somewhat. He felt his fear and anxiety start to subside and he painfully reverted to his human form in the corner of the hallway. He sat there, crouched, trying to catch his breath and regain his composure.

After a few minutes, Reed had talked to their robotic visitor and the futuristic cyborg had left. Reed came over to his old friend, who was still sitting slumped in the corner.

"Well...that's new, isn't it?" Already, Reed's brains were working to diagnose and fix the problem. "I haven't seen you in such a state since we initially found ourselves in our altered states. How does it feel when you're in your 'Thing' form, now?"

"What...you some kind o' shrink now, too?"

"Hm...no, not quite. I prefer a more scientific approach, obviously. But, we should check you out, old friend. By the sounds of things, trouble is definitely brewing and having you unpredictable as you are presently, doesn't exactly put my mind at ease."

"Yeah...ya might be right. I guess I ain't exactly been myself, lately..."

"Come on, let's go to my lab...plus, you can say hello to Franklin and Valeria, they've definitely missed their uncle Ben this past little while."

The two men started back to the lab.

" Calling all heroes, this is Fury once again. Dr. Richards, Avengers, X-Men, anyone who will listen we have a real situation here. SHIELD satellites have detected rumblings from Latveria. Victor Von Doom is at it again. Im not taking any chances this time, we take him down hard.

and for good. "

"Colonel, this is Reed Richards...I'm afraid Ben and myself won't be joining you just yet. There are some things that need to be taken care of here. Of course, call us if you absolutely must."

Ben and Reed stepped into the lab and began there work...

[Toby_Temple]

"Yes. That is what I wanted to hear."

Hawkeye picked up his commlink.

"Hawkeye to Fury. We'll have a Quinjet in the air in five minutes."

"Now you get to see how the big boys operate. Call just came in from Fury himself. We're headed to Latveria. If you wanna come, I suggest you get your butt in gear."

Johnny turned and headed for the elevator, hitting the button for the hangar and subbasement.

Death's Head followed Johnny's lead and went with him to the elevator.

So, can you brief me on the current situation? About this place called Latveria and our target.

[Midnight Ice]

"Yes. That is what I wanted to hear."

Hawkeye picked up his commlink.

"Hawkeye to Fury. We'll have a Quinjet in the air in five minutes."

Hawkeye turned to the assembled group

"I can't speak for anyone other than the Avengers, but all the help we can get will be much appreciated."

Hawkeye powered down the War Room and headed for the hangar.

Johnny opened the door. The sight of Reed's new friend still made him want to hurl.

"Now you get to see how the big boys operate. Call just came in from Fury himself. We're headed to Latveria. If you wanna come, I suggest you get your butt in gear."

Johnny turned and headed for the elevator, hitting the button for the hangar and subbasement.

Bobby's blood got cold...,well colder than normal for him.

Doom?!? Man, I was hoping never to see him again. I wonder if he still intends on cashing in that 'favor' I 'owe' him. I hope not, especially in a time like this.

Bobby tried to hide his surprize and discomfort at the mention of Doom's name.

"Yeah....us X-Men are right behind ya."

Bobby, Warren and the other X-Men follow the others into the hanger.

[ElectroFlare]

"Alright Ock...put her down." Spider-man said, dropping his hands to his side. There was only one thing Spider-man could do.

"I surrender."

"Alright." Both Cain's said and stomped out of Castle DOOM.

In almost no time they were in Paris, thanks to a transport of DOOM's, which also carried the soldiers DOOM had said to go with Cain.

"What was that commercial? Double your pleasure?" One Cain asked the other as he leveled a house.

"Double your fun?" The other answered...

[Spider-Man9X17]

Death's Head followed Johnny's lead and went with him to the elevator.

So, can you brief me on the current situation? About this place called Latveria and our target.

"All you need to know is that when we get to Doom.....He's mine."

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Hank, what'd you get?" Hawkeye asked as Yellowjacket boarded the jet

"Reed was going to use this to map sections of the Negative Zone and MicroVerse from Earth, so it has the tracking capabilties we need."

"Gotcha. Ok, Thor, it's all yours."

Johnny walked up the ramp with the new tagalong. He took his seat and buckled in.

"Johnny, your head gonna be on straight for this?"

"I'll be fine. Just get us there is one piece."

"Whatever you say."

Hawkeye did one more systems check, and then fired the engines. The Quinjet began to lift out of the hangar.

"So," Johnny said, turning to Warren and Bobby, "wonder if we'll see any Sentinels this trip."

[JewishHobbit]

Shocker and Rogue appear on a pedistal in the center of a large room. They are surrounded by armed men, all of whom stare at them expectantly. One then steps forward to greet them, and upon reaching them, he kneels on one knee and lowers his eyes.

"Welcome chosen generals of Lord Thanos, to the Tomb of Qin Shi Huangdi. I am Hypron and have lead these people while awaiting your arrival. I and the 12,000 others who are here are now under your servace. What would you have us do?"

Shocker smiles. Now this is interesting. He looks to Rogue and then back to Hypron.

"You can start by standing."

Hypron does as he is told as Shocker turns to Rogue.

"So how do we go about taking over China?"

"If it would please you, we have uncovered secrets of this government that we feel may be of use to you. Would you like me to show you these things that we have learned?"

Shocker looks to Rogue and back to Hypron.

"Lead the way, Tex."

"My name is Hypron, not Tex."

Shocker shakes his head and simply waves for him to lead them. They follow Hypron as he makes his way past leagues of armed men toward a table in the center of the room. The other men who stand about the room begin to disperce, returning to whatever duty they have been appointed. Hypron pushes some buttons on what looks to be an alien keyboard as the table begins to glow. Holographic images begin to flash as Hypron speaks, showing them what he says.

"Since the threat of the Americans have risen, these two nations have been on the brink of war. With the aid of our Lord Thanos, we have uncovered every military base in operation, and have found that every base is armed and ready to attack on a whim. There are minor missiles up through a variety of nuclear and biological weapons, all heavily guarded and under lock and key."

The image on the table shows a map of China and glows in all the locations where the weapons are armed and ready. It is a frightening view.

"We thought that these were very interesting and could be put to good use, however, we found two other military locations that were quite interesting. The first is in Beijing and the second is just beyond it's borders. First I shall show you the smaller base outside of Beijing."

He hits some buttons and a holographic image of a tiney outhouse shows up.

"I've always imagined the Chinese government being a little more, extravigant."

"I assure you," Hypron says, "this is just a front. Beneath this place, as I'll now show you, is a fairly large compound. It is centered around a great anomoly that even our technology is having trouble tracing. We are unsure of what exactly is in this room, but it registers as one of the most powerful energy readings in this entire land. Past scans and historical documentations show a similar spike not too far away from this, but it was put to a stop not long ago. I believe the heros known as the X-Men had something to do with it."

"So we don't know what the source of the energy is?"

"Not yet sir, I simply felt it was necessary to be brought up. We feel that this and the other base holds potential threats to us, and that it would be wise to secure them before beginning our initial attack."

"You were right. We don't want the Chinese to pull some secret military weapon on us while we're overtaking them. We'll have to check that one out. What of the other place?"

Hypron brings up another holographic image of a large compound. "This is the second that is within Beijing. It looks like a large factory, but it extends further beneath the surface. It seems that the Chinese had bought out information from the Americans shortly prior to the beginning of their conflict. They now construct a foe that to our records have only been in creation twice before. Both times the creature fell before the american hero, Spider-Man while in New York."

Shocker cringes at the thought of his arc-foe, "And what is it that the American's sold them?"

An image flashes before them as they see what it is that is being reconstructed.

"It is called the 'Tri-Sentinel.'"

Shocker remembers the stories of this guy and whistles through his teeth.

"Yeah, we can definately put that guy to good use."

"High Commander, it is time", said Thanos as he sat in giant throne in his throne room and spoke into the comm link.
"Move the fleet into position and give the word to all ground forces to begin teleporting planetside. As soon as all legions are on the Earth, send the signal for the invasion to begin."

"Yes, my Lord", said High Commander Drexxen as the link was terminated.

--------------------------

The world ship, Shadovar, would remain out of Earth's orbit on the other side of the sun. There Thanos will monitor all events from a safe distance away.
Meanwhile his fleet quickly maneuvered around the system's only sun and took up their designated positions around Earth. When the final ship found it's place, each battleship activated their jamming devices, creating a web of energy around the planet that cut off all satellite communication worldwide.
All save for the cloaked spy satellites being used by Thanos' forces.
With worldwide communication jammed, High Commander Drexxen sent the signal to all of Thanos' lieutenants on the Earth that the attack was to begin immediately.

--------------------------

Thanos sat back and quietly watched the events unfold from the comfort of his ebony throne. Finally, the countdown had finished. After years of planning and preparation, his gambit had begun. The planet Earth would now know a level of war unlike any it has ever seen before.
And from the aftermath, a new world would arise. A world of order. A world of discipline. A world free of the ills of society. A world of peace.
A world ruled by Thanos.

A smile found it's way to the Titan's face as he watched the monitors. Finally, his war has begun.

"So," Johnny said, turning to Warren and Bobby, "wonder if we'll see any Sentinels this trip."

http://www.griffenaerie.com/blackpanther/gallery/velluto/quinjet.jpg


"My thanks Hawkeye." Thor said as he took the small device from Hawkeye. "Yellowjacket, wouldst thou assist me?"

"No Problem Thor." Yellowjacket replied as they both made their way to the instrument panel at the back of the Quinjet

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Agh!" Johnny threw his headset off, grabbing his ears.

"What?"

"Piercing squeal, some kind of interference."

"I just lost all satellite and internet uplinks," Wasp announced.

"GPS just went. Johnny, do you have any comm with the mansion or the Baxter Building?"

"Systems dead."

"Clint, whose at the Mansion?"

"Falcon, Wanda, and Carol. Johnny, try to patch into a land-based line. Call in any reserves who will answer and put the Mansion on lockdown."

"Clint, is this...is this what I think it is?"

"It's an invasion."

[taskmaster]

We get a transmission from Thanos. He tells us to begin our attack.

"Well, General, I think it's time we get this show on the road. Where do you want to start?"

As I talk I grab some weapons. I take as many as I can. I'll wait until the last minute to show them my new strength. And maybe I'll find the one this all started with, at least for me. Yes, if there's one person I have to kill during this invasion, it's him, Angel.

[Batman]

<Daredevil>

I can't move... I can't hear... I can't do anything, for what seems like hours. However, Before I intially wake up, faint words enter my barely functioning mind...

"...could... kill... over... pain... way... payba... for all... "

Then it stops. And more words begin, after a moment.

"...ain't... gonna kill you... finish... only alive... allowed you... live... Think... Matt."

I don't know when, exactly, those words entered my mind... All I know is that when my eyes finally open... when my hearing and ability to move returns to me... They're the first thing I think of.

I groan, pushing myself up. The glass is still in me... And I think I may have broken bones, to be honest. No... Not broken. But definatley sore. And that doesn't even begin to cover the pain I'm feeling, at the moment...

Wait... Bullseye... Where?

I stop what I'm doing, letting my radar scan the area around me. No heat signatures. No heartbeats. No movement. Nothing. He's gone.

I slam my fist into the ground, in anger. This was supposed to end tonight. I would've finally put him away, for the rest of his life. Finally, I'd be able to go home, knowing that maniac couldn't hurt anyone from Hell's Kitchen again. Idiot... I shouldn't have let my emotions get in the way.

And worse... He knows who I am, now. Not that keeping my identity from him ever really mattered... He somehow managed to kill just about everyone I loved as Matt Murdock without the knowledge. So what does this really change? Anything?

I stand up, amongst the glass, the books, and just about every other thing we knocked over in the store. I need to get out of here... Before someone notices this...

*- - -*

I crawl into my apartment, silently, feeling around to see if Bullseye might've come here. Now that he knows my identity... Even I'm not safe from him anymore.

I guess that's what this changed... When I could hide from him, I could be safe from him. All I had to worry about was whether or not someone else was going to get killed. But now... He knows my identity. He knows that Matthew Michael Murdock and Daredevil are, in reality, the same man. And for some reason... My apartment suddenly seems less like a home and more like a trap.

I walk over, pulling open the secret door that leads to the room behind the wall. I've memorised it so well that I don't need to use my radar senses to find it. Walking over, I take off my mask, feeling the cut Bullseye gave my face. He's never done that before.

Damn it... This is going to change things.

[Spider-Man9X17]

Hawkeye sat the Quinjet down in a meadow somewhere in Europe. With the GPS out, he had no way of telling where they were, but going by the last know projectory, they should have been somewhere in Northern France, a few miles away from the English Channel. The sky had begun to haze and unnatural bluish-purple.

"You found any communications lines?"

"Nothing viable. Almost everything relies on satellites somewhere along the way these days. Local lines would only go so far until they hit a relay station. Then thats it."

Hawkeye thought for a second.

"Do we have to go through our satellites, or can we route the transmission somewhere else?"

"Well....Reed's created a synthetic radio wave that transmits to the Negative Zone. If I can get some help rewiring the panel here, I can send a signal through the zone to the Baxter Building."

"Hank, you get on that with Johnny. Chances are, we'll need that signal to work Reed's tracking device too. Jan, see if you can help them route that into all the other systems. We're going to be no good flying bllind, and I wanna know who's trying to get in univited. I'm going otu to scout around.Anyone whose not doing anything, you might want to tag along."

Hawkeye opened the back hatch and unstrapped himself from his seat.

[Duker Jay]

Ben Grimm lay on a metal table, hooked up to various devices with wires and tubes.

Reed rubbed his chin, thoughtfully. "Well, you seem to be in fine health. There are no side-effects from your transformation and, if I didn't know better, I'd say there was nothing extraordinary about you, physically."

"I've been sayin' the same thing fer years..."

"The question is...what is causing the transformation? And why do you lose most of your cognitive intelligence when the transformation occurs?"

"It's simple, ain't it? Seems I caught Banner's cold..."

"But what triggered it, Ben? There had to be something..."

"Somethin' happened in England a few days ago...can't exactly remember what but I did have a sword stuck in me."

"England? A sword?" Reed pondered his friend's words and continued, speaking mostly to himself. "As far as I know, there's only one sword that cuts stone. One in the posession of Brian Braddock. So, if it was Excalibur that ran you through then that might explain your change. That particular sword has mystical properties and that would explain why nothing is showing up on my scanners."

"Take a breath, big-brain. Long story, short...we don't know what's going on."

"But we have a clue...now, it's only a matter of time." Reed reached for his communicator. "I may not be an expert of the mystical realm but we both know who is. Reed Richards to Stephen Strange. Come in, Doctor."

There was no answer...only static.

"That's odd...communications are down." Reed adjusted a few dials and tried again, this time using his alternate radio wave invention. "Reed Richards calling anyone who can hear this, come in."

Ben got up, detaching the instruments. "Obviously, somethin's up. I'm goin' to the armoury. We're gonna be fightin' and whether I'm big and orange or just the plain, ol' Benjamin J. Grimm, I'm gonna be ready."

Ben left the room as Reed continued at the control panel.

[Midnight Ice]

Bobby felt useless. There was really nothing he could do right now. The others were working on wiring the jet with some devices. He still didn't feel comfortable in the fact that he may be in the presence of Doom once again.

[Spider-Man9X17]

The walk to the shoreline only took about 20 minutes. Hawkeye sat down at the edge of the water and tried his comm again. Still nothing but static.

"So, why is the English Channel so important?"

"Just need to get my bearings. And, if we're this close to England, I was hoping we could pick up Brian or Kelsey on the comms. Still too far away though."

-

"And...that should be it," Hank said, connecting the last wire. "Try 'er out, Johnny.

Johnny set the frequency to Reed's Negative Zone wavelength.

"Johnny to the Baxter Building, over. Reed, Ben, Sue...anybody at all, come in. We have an S.O.S. Situation Urgent. If you're getting this, please respond immediately."

[Duker Jay]

"Johnny to the Baxter Building, over. Reed, Ben, Sue...anybody at all, come in. We have an S.O.S. Situation Urgent. If you're getting this, please respond immediately."

"Go ahead, Johnny...this is Reed. What's the situation? Where are you?"

--

In the armoury, Ben walked along a wall lined with various weaponry and devices. Some were now too big for him in human form but others now fit him quite nicely.

"I don't need to be a big, rocky monster to do my part. Ben Grimm ain't no pushover." he thought to himself. Ben was avoiding admitting any of his fears to anybody. He was almost fully convinced now that his transformations were due to his emotions, more specifically his anxiety. But he had always been the brave one...even before the accident, he was fearless. Now, fear had gripped his life and hung over him, ready to devolve him again.

"Cry me a river, Grimm..." he said, dryly and to himself.

[Electro UK]

Max laughed. "What? No rescue attempt? What's gotten into you webhead? Your pathetic! Ever since Bullseye killed that red head you haven't been yourself! Feeling guilty perhaps? Well here's one more to think about!"

Max zapped Betty as Ock let her go. "Her death's your fault Spider-man! For being so weak!" Betty Brant's screams got quieter and quieter until a dull thud was heard down below, no more screaming to be heard.

"Still surrender Spider-man? Or do I have to take another one of these pathetic hostages lives?"

[Electro UK]

Deadpool juggeled his guns while Hank and Johnny fiddeled with the comms. An invasion? Did this permit killing hundreds and thousands of evil people by any chance? "Hey guys! Look what I can do!" he said as he tossed one gun up in the air, holstered the other two and kicked the thrid into it's holster." Neither Hank or Johnny looked.

"Guuuuuuuys you're not looking!" again they didn't move. "Pffft, you people were more fun when the world wasn't about to become mince meat."

[The Joker]

Max laughed. "What? No rescue attempt? What's gotten into you webhead? Your pathetic! Ever since Bullseye killed that red head you haven't been yourself! Feeling guilty perhaps? Well here's one more to think about!"

Max zapped Betty as Ock let her go. "Her death's your fault Spider-man! For being so weak!" Betty Brant's screams got quieter and quieter until a dull thud was heard down below, no more screaming to be heard.

"Still surrender Spider-man? Or do I have to take another one of these pathetic hostages lives?"

Octavius watched as Betty's charred body hit the ground.

"Oooops.Max how clumsy of you,now they are going to need that mop and bucket.Forgive him wall crawler,he can get a little trigger happy so to speak" Ock said mockingly,as his laughter echoed with Electro's filling the entire room.

"Now then,crawl on your knees towards us,take off your mask,and then bow before me!!!"

[The Question]

We get a transmission from Thanos. He tells us to begin our attack.

"Well, General, I think it's time we get this show on the road. Where do you want to start?"

"New York. We should visit some old friends of mine. Let's go see the troops."

They walk to were the soldiers are stationed. The General stands before them.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Tonight is our night. I don't know where all of you are from. Some may have come from humble beginings. Some may be quite wealthy. Although I doubt that. But, we all have one thing in common. We want a world of our own. A world where we do not have to worry about suffering. A world where we can have our voices heard. A world of our own making. Tonight, we will make this world. Tonight, we will wipe the slate clean. We will eradicate the corrupt and impure societies of the world. And ours will begin. A perfect society. A society where our wishes are met. Where, finally, we have a say. Where we rule. Tonight, we eat well."

He turns to Taskmaster.

"Reley battle stratigies to them. They go through the streets, taking out the police and any other forms of resistance. You, myself, and Mr. Banner will take out the Avengers. Then, we move on to Washington."

[Darth Wolverine]

Anthony Stark rose from his chair, slightly ruffling his exquisite designer suit as he did so. His onyx hair was slicked back and his beard was neatly trimmed; accompanied by his perfectly knotted tie and gleaming lace-up shoes, he was the image of perfection.

His face, however, told a different story entirely.

His eyes were narrowed, creasing the skin around them in a deep frown. His mouth was turned slightly downwards, accentuating the grimace tha was slowly enveloping his expression. His fists were clenched, and his shoe was rapping lightly and impatiently against the carpeted floor.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen," he announced to the gathered businessmen seated at the table before him, "but I'm afraid I have to leave."

"You've postponed this meeting three times now, Stark!" one growled.

A second enforced his colleague's words. "And when we finally get down to business, you run out on us again!"

"Something important has come up," Tony responded, his voice laced with impatience. He carefully placed his things into his suitcase and headed for the door. "We'll have to re-schedule this; my chauffeurs will transport you home."

Without another word, he exited the room and stepped into the elevator, hitting a switch before any of the men could catch up with him. I'm gonna have to stop blowing things off like this if I want this company back to how it was, he mused silently. He reached into his jacket and pulled out the small, flashing device that had caused his swift departure - his Avengers communicator.

He cancelled the alert and, as the elevator ground to a halt, stepped forward to the heavily reinforced door that sheltered his private laboratory. His fingers danced deftly over the keypad, and the doors slid apart with a hiss. He stepped inside, allowing a small smile to touch his lips as a familiar suit of gold-and-crimson armour greeted him.

Within seconds, he was streaking through the sky, tresses of fire staining the area behind him. He was no longer Anthony Stark...he was the Invincible Iron Man!

http://images.art.com/images/-/Marvel-Comics---Iron-Man--C11750940.jpeg

At his comand, his jet boots accelerated, the landscape becoming a mere blur as his speed increased and he raced forward, plungign through the clouds that blocked his path. Lifting one arm to his helmet, he activated his communication unit, connecting it to the only active Quinjet.

"This is Iron Man," he reported. "I receieved the alert. What's going on?"

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Go ahead, Johnny...this is Reed. What's the situation? Where are you?"


"I have no idea on either questions. All systems on the Quinjet here went dead. Something's jamming satellites, internet hook ups, GPS, you name it. I need you to lock the Quinjet and uplink a power feed through the Negative Zone channel. Right now that's the only way we can connect for long distances. And if ya wouldn't mind, get my sister out of bed, get Frankie and the kids somewhere safe, and the three of you suit up. I think we may be getting some uninvited visitors."

-

"I got something. It's faint, but at least it isn't static..."

"This is......an. I re...ved ... alert. What.....ing on?"

Hawkeye adjusted his comm, trying to get a clearer signal.

"This is Iron Man. I receieved the alert. What's going on?"

"Tony!" Hawkeye yelled into the receiver. "Tony, it's Clint. Quinjet is a dead stick. Something is jamming all communication systems and satellite feeds. If your armor is on a direct link to the jet, see if you can triangulate the position. I'll meet you there."

[Darth Wolverine]

[Tony, it's Clint. Quinjet is a dead stick. Something is jamming all communication systems and satellite feeds. If your armor is on a direct link to the jet, see if you can triangulate the position. I'll meet you there."

Iron Man's eyes widened behind his metallic mask as Hawkeye's voice came through his wrist comm. The Quinjets, developed exclusively by Stark Enterprises, were state-of-the-art vehicles, equipped with the latest offensive and defensive capabilties, as well as advanced thrusters and...anti-jamming equipment that was above even the range of S.H.I.E.LD.

"Jammed? How is that possible?" he mumbled, momentarily forgetting about Clint. Pushing his bemusement aside, he continued, "Clint, I'm transmitting the co-ordinates now...you've got a ride, I presume?"

Once again, he accelerated, and began to prepare his weapons systems. Whatever was going on with the Avengers, he knew it was trouble.

[taskmaster]

He turns to Taskmaster.

"Reley battle stratigies to them. They go through the streets, taking out the police and any other forms of resistance. You, myself, and Mr. Banner will take out the Avengers. Then, we move on to Washington."

"All right, people, you kill any officers of the law or any one else who will try to stop you. All of the innocents are to be captured and inprisoned, understand."

The troops move out to complete their mission. I face a man I've fought many times, who has now become an ally and a monster who has finally reached his full potential.

"Guess its time to start the fun part."

[Charlie No-One]

The bright sun shined down upon Lorna’s face as she got out of bed. She pulled her green locks into a bun and glanced out of the window. A crowd of people were protesting at the gate of the mansion. “Magneto is right. Humans and mutants will never get along. Xavier is a fool to see it other wise,” she thought to herself. Waving her hand, the doorknob twisted and the door opened.

The air smelled of waffles and bacon. Breakfast. The mistress of magnetism looked at her grumbling stomach. She hadn’t eaten since yesterday morning. No matter how much she detested waffles, nothing could stop her from getting some food. As she walked down the stairs, Sunspot was flipping an omelet in the air.

“Hello Lorna,”
“Cooking are you?”
“Just trying something new, I guess,”
“I can see that. Mind if I have a bite? I am starving,” The green haired mutant looked out the window. The protest was getting worse.
“They have been at it all day. The police are biased and won’t move,” said Sunspot.
“You know what? I am not that hungry anyway. I think I am going to try a round in the Danger Room. If Bobby comes back, tell him I am busy,”

The Danger Room doors slide open. Polaris was dressed in her purple leather outfit. The costume left room for improvement and she hated it dreadfully. She wasn’t sure why she had even chosen it, but it was too late to change now.

The X-Man adjusted the controls to the famed exercise room. Instantly, her surroundings turned into a busy city block. Five large sentinels loomed over the skyscrapers.

“I can handle this; no problem,”

Hovering into the brisk and artificial air, Lorna reached out towards the first Sentinel. She closed her emerald eyes. The metals plates started to shift on the Sentinel’s chest. Lorna and the mass of metal connected; they were one. Within seconds, the mutant terminator’s chest was rearranged. Polaris pulled her hands back. The Sentinel’s power core was exposed. Instantly, energy jutted out of the chest and pounded into another robot. With two metal goliaths down, the green haired mutant could do the rest. Lorna pulled a light pole through the head of one of her offenders, dropped two tanks on another, and magnetically pulled the head of the final one. Her foes were finished. She triumphantly stood over their metal carcasses as the Danger Room powered down.

Outside of the institute, the protest grew. Police forces had done nothing to clear the trespassing pests, the only silently agreed with the situation. The pickets were getting worse too, with signs like “DIE F***ING MUTIES!”, “SCUM!”, and other offensive propaganda. Lorna could not take it any longer. She walked out in front of the protesters.

“You stand here in front of my home today with your signs and words. You think we fear you. You think we are something worthy of extermination. You think we..I..am wicked? Wrong. YOU ARE THE WICKED ONES!”

The goddess of metal rose into the air with green energy sparking from her hands. The ground rumbled and the sewage pipes flipped out of the ground. With a flick of her hands, the waste drenched the protesters. Polaris bent the pipes around the crowd. She held them like that for a minute before letting them go. All of them left in a hurry. Then a thought came to her head. She had proved them right.

[Hyper Venom]

"All right, people, you kill any officers of the law or any one else who will try to stop you. All of the innocents are to be captured and inprisoned, understand."

The troops move out to complete their mission. I face a man I've fought many times, who has now become an ally and a monster who has finally reached his full potential.

"Guess its time to start the fun part."

Devil Hulk sneered at Taskmaster's comment.

"You mean I can't smash any civilians into paste? Disappointing...then again, I wouldn't mind fighting the Avengers. I always wanted to kill that Deadpool guy..."

Devil Hulk cracked his knuckles and turned to the General.

"Just point me in the direction of an Avenger and I'll squash him."

[The Question]

The General looks at The Hulk.

"When we get there, I'll tell you where to go."

He then turns to Taskmaster.

"We're teleporting, right?"

[twylight]

"If it would please you, we have uncovered secrets of this government that we feel may be of use to you. Would you like me to show you these things that we have learned?"

Shocker looks to Rogue and back to Hypron.

"Lead the way, Tex."

"My name is Hypron, not Tex."

Shocker shakes his head and simply waves for him to lead them. They follow Hypron as he makes his way past leagues of armed men toward a table in the center of the room. The other men who stand about the room begin to disperce, returning to whatever duty they have been appointed. Hypron pushes some buttons on what looks to be an alien keyboard as the table begins to glow. Holographic images begin to flash as Hypron speaks, showing them what he says.

"Since the threat of the Americans have risen, these two nations have been on the brink of war. With the aid of our Lord Thanos, we have uncovered every military base in operation, and have found that every base is armed and ready to attack on a whim. There are minor missiles up through a variety of nuclear and biological weapons, all heavily guarded and under lock and key."

The image on the table shows a map of China and glows in all the locations where the weapons are armed and ready. It is a frightening view.

"We thought that these were very interesting and could be put to good use, however, we found two other military locations that were quite interesting. The first is in Beijing and the second is just beyond it's borders. First I shall show you the smaller base outside of Beijing."

He hits some buttons and a holographic image of a tiney outhouse shows up.

"I've always imagined the Chinese government being a little more, extravigant."

"I assure you," Hypron says, "this is just a front. Beneath this place, as I'll now show you, is a fairly large compound. It is centered around a great anomoly that even our technology is having trouble tracing. We are unsure of what exactly is in this room, but it registers as one of the most powerful energy readings in this entire land. Past scans and historical documentations show a similar spike not too far away from this, but it was put to a stop not long ago. I believe the heros known as the X-Men had something to do with it."

"So we don't know what the source of the energy is?"

"Not yet sir, I simply felt it was necessary to be brought up. We feel that this and the other base holds potential threats to us, and that it would be wise to secure them before beginning our initial attack."

"You were right. We don't want the Chinese to pull some secret military weapon on us while we're overtaking them. We'll have to check that one out. What of the other place?"

Hypron brings up another holographic image of a large compound. "This is the second that is within Beijing. It looks like a large factory, but it extends further beneath the surface. It seems that the Chinese had bought out information from the Americans shortly prior to the beginning of their conflict. They now construct a foe that to our records have only been in creation twice before. Both times the creature fell before the american hero, Spider-Man while in New York."

Shocker cringes at the thought of his arc-foe, "And what is it that the American's sold them?"

An image flashes before them as they see what it is that is being reconstructed.

"It is called the 'Tri-Sentinel.'"

Shocker remembers the stories of this guy and whistles through his teeth.

"Yeah, we can definately put that guy to good use."


Rogue gasped, adrenaline pumping through her at the sight of the sentinal.
It was only something an X-Men would understand, the terror of being hunted down like dogs and eradicated. True, she could take one apart on her own, but it wasn't about that.

It was about a machine, made specifically to destroy another human because they didn't fit the perfect mold of the world.
She walked over to the computer controls and surveyed them, pulling up Kitty's computer knowledge. She looked at Shocker.

"Ah can handle this, why don't ya look into the other little problem?"

[ElectroFlare]

Octavius watched as Betty's charred body hit the ground.

"Oooops.Max how clumsy of you,now they are going to need that mop and bucket.Forgive him wall crawler,he can get a little trigger happy so to speak" Ock said mockingly,as his laughter echoed with Electro's filling the entire room.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Spider-man shouted as Betty fell.

They were dropping like flies around him. Uncle Ben, Gwen, Captain Stacy,Harry, MJ, and now Betty.

He couldn't protect them.

What kind of hero was he?

"Now then,crawl on your knees towards us,take off your mask,and then bow before me!!!"

What choice could he have? He could run, websling away, and possibly escape. That wouldn't save the hostages.

That wouldn't do any good to anyone. It was time to stop saving himself instead of saving everyone else.

Time to do what he had to do.

Slowly, reluctantly, he dropped to his knees.

Slowly, reluctantly, he shuffled towards Ock and Electro on his knees.

Slowly, reluctantly, he reached for his mask...

"This is a lot o' fun, but where are dem avengers?" One Cain shouted as he tore through a French house.

"I dunno, but they 'ad better show up soon, or else there won't be no paris left." The copy said, laughing as he tossed a car into the distance.

"Well, let's speed things up a bit." Cain said, activating the belt and suddenly a third Juggernaut stood in Paris, and they all began ravaging Paris together. The battalion that Doom had placed under their command meant almost nothing compared to the destruction that the three Juggernauts caused...

[Spider-Man9X17]

"I'm getting some faint signals," Johnny alerted Hawkeye as he returned to the jet. "Reed's feeding us as much power as he can."

Images began to flicker on the monitors. World wide news reports.

"Paris....being ravaged by.....utant Jugger..aut and sev...clones...."

"You understand any of that?"

"Just the important parts. Juggs is in Paris with clones."

"Iron Man will be meeting up with us soon. Maybe we should take half the team to Latveria, and half to Paris."

"Ummm, Clint. I've been backtracking Juggernaut's signal. From what I can tell, his last known position before this attack was Latveria. He teleported out roughy 2 hours ago. Doom may have purposely drawn attention to himself. This mission was probably a diversion, or a trap, or both."

"So, full force to Paris. Johnny, I need all systems go in no more than five. Everyone else, start preps, I'll brief Tony when he gets here."

[Duker Jay]

After adjusting the controls to divert power to the Quinjet, Reed left the lab to find his team. He passed the armoury and leaned in. Ben was still perusing the weapons in there.

"I've just talked to Johnny, Ben. It seems there's something coming and we'd best prepare ourselves for the worst."

"That sounds about right..."

"For now, we'll just sit tight but be on alert. I'm going to talk to Sue and get the children to safety."

Reed left quickly and within a few minutes, he stood in front of his wife, her sister-in-law and the kids.

"Bad news, everyone. I just got word from Johnny that we should be expecting some unwelcome visitors soon...judging from the communications interference, it could mean an invasion. Frankie, I think we should send you to Attilan with the children." Reed didn't pause to hear an answer. "Sue, I know you've been through a lot already but, if you can...it sounds like we'll need you as much as anyone."

Reed left again, going back to his lab to prepare the teleporter...

[JewishHobbit]

"Ah can handle this, why don't ya look into the other little problem?"

Shocker nods.

"Alright, you deal with the big robot, I'll check on the mystery energy spike. See if you can get the thing to obey us, rather than the chinese, and I'll be back again shortly. Once I'm back, I figure we can convert China to our kind of government."

He smiles at his rather unfunny wit as he looks to Hypron.

"You're coming with me, but I don't want to set off too many alarms yet. I want to be in and out with as little noise as possible. Grab enough manpower to get in and search around."

"Yes, Lieutenant," Hypron says.

The soldier leaves and before long he arrives with a decent sized force. Shocker approves those that he has brought, and with a wink to Rogue, he and his people are gone in but a blink of an eye.

[Electro UK]

"Juggernaut AGAIN!!?!?! Sunova*****!" Wade said drawing his blades. This time, he new the only way to beat Caine was to take his helmet. The only problem was which helmet to take first. "This is gonna be one heck of a party." Deadpool said to himself, swishing his blade around.

Why was he doing this? Saving people instead of killing them? Getting his face rammed in by the Juggernaut 3 times a day. Wade was getting pretty sick of it. Then he remembered why he'd done it. Siyrin. She was right, he was becoming a hero. Not all heros had the glamour life. But Wade knew that she was proud of him, whever she was right now.

"This is for you baby." Wade said as the Quinjet approached Paris.

[Darth Wolverine]

Iron Man nodded in satisfaction as the gleaming spire of the Eiffel Tower came into view. He began a slow, steep descent, aiming himself at the streets below. As he broke through the clouds, his eyes scanned the area below him. Devastation had overwhelmed the city,buildings crumbling and parks decimated, monuments shattered and injured people scattered across the landscape.

"Clint, what the hell is going on here?" he barked into his communicator.

It looks like the Hulk was been through here...

[Midnight Ice]

Bobby brought his hand up to his face.

"Great! Thats just what we need. Clones of the Unstopaable Juggernaught. Can this day get any worse?"

Bobby turns to Warren.

"Too bad Betsy and Lorna aren't here, right? they would be helpful against Juggs. Lorna could levitate them and then Betsy could physic blade their cloned butts. Oh well, thats part of being a superhero I guess, nothing goes exactly right."

Bobby tries to keep his mind off of Doom.He just hopes he oesn't cross paths with him any time soon.

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Well, Tony, it seems Juggs has been busy in the sack lately, and has begun to breed. He's also developed an uncanny ability to trasport his fat ass anywhere in the universe, it seems."

The Quinjet circled the scene and landed.

"OK, team. Keep an open communication link. As far as we know, this is the only active channel going right now, and we can't afford to loose it."

The exit ramp lowered and Hawkeye unbuckled himself, grabbing his quiver and bow.

"Avengers....Assemble."

[Charlie No-One]

Lorna flipped on the TV. She saw her earlier stint being replayed across New York. If only she could have controlled her temper, this would have never happened.

“Moments ago, Lorna Dane, the magnetic mutant better known as Polaris, threatened and assaulted several protesters in front of Xavier’s School For Gifted Youngsters. As of now, there are no charges filed,”

Polaris clinched her fist tightly. Energy unleashed from her hand sending a metallic lamp through the television. Grabbing her communicator, she set it all frequencies.

“All teams, I am had a small outburst at the mansion. I need to get away for a little while. Where are you guys?”

[Darth Wolverine]

Iron Man touched down beside Clint, his boots incinerating the dust beneath him before settling onto the ground. Glancing around, he clenched his fist as the flames crackled and burned, fuelled by rubble and wreckage from the damaged city. Juggernaut would pay for this. He turned to Clint as the archer spoke.

"Avengers...Assemble!" he announced grandly, evidently enjoying it.

"You stole my line," Tony replied jokingly, and rose into the air once again, diving forward. His metallic hands were pulsating with golden energy as he accelerated, ready to take care of the crimson behemoth.

[Silverstein]

Last Night
When the sky is black and seems to glare with one large gleaming eye, it is night time. Dark hands reach up towards the sky, as if trying to gauge at the eye.
"Trees are repulsive."
A figure in a crimson cloak, darkened by shadow, lit a cigarette. Instead of inhaling the smoke, he tossed it towards the trees. Any one else would have been affraid of the large snake that began to incenerate the trees.

Now hellish burning hands reached up towards the sky, as if begging forgiveness and salvation.

Soon the snake engulfed all of the trees in the area and made them one with the ashes. The man walked on.

Now
"Central Park had a mysterious fire last night. Police claim the only evidence seems to be a single cigarette"
Click. The television dies out. It was morning now and he ate in silence. As he became full, he pulled out a piece of paper with some names on it.

Xavier
Parker
Stark
Richards

No problem for him. His mission was clear, and his body even had the bonus of ninjitsu. Not that he would need it. He lay the paper down on the table and stood up.

"Someone will realize that a clean, barely lit cigarette can not cause a small forrest fire. And whomever comes to investigate will help me pick my first assignment."

His name was Pyro.

[taskmaster]

The General looks at The Hulk.

"When we get there, I'll tell you where to go."

He then turns to Taskmaster.

"We're teleporting, right?"

"That would be the fastest way. The Avengers Mansion will be our first stop, we'll continue from there."

We teleport to the Mansion. Hulk rips done the gates.

"So, I guess we know what to do. Kill anything that moves. Sound good to you guys?"

[The Question]

"Excelent."

The General takes a gun he swiped from Thanos' armory and walks inside the mansion.

"Oh Luuuucyyyyy, I'm hoooooome."

[Hyper Venom]

"Excelent."

The General takes a gun he swiped from Thanos' armory and walks inside the mansion.

"Oh Luuuucyyyyy, I'm hoooooome."

Devil Hulk brushed up against a wall of the mansion, smiling as his shoulder destroyed the entire wall.

"And you got a lotta 'splainin' to do!"

[Charlie No-One]

As Polaris waited for a response, a woman was limping towards the front gate of mansion. After today’s events, Lorna did not want a civilian to die on the lawn. She placed down the communicator and walked to the gate. The woman appeared to be a cop.

“Are you hurt?” questioned the mutant.
“STAY AWAY MUTIE!”
“Look, I just want to help you. Where are you injured?”
“I said STAY AWAY!” The police woman took out her gun. She aimed it at Polaris.
“Please. That will only result badly,”
“One of your kind just stabbed me moments ago. Some sort of army is taking over New York City. Most likely muties. Stay away or I will shoot,”

Lorna leaned closer to examine the wound; she faintly started to glow green. The woman pulled the trigger. Instantly the bullet repelled off Lorna and into the cop’s head.

“You were looking for an excuse to die,”

The Mistress of Magnetism lifted into the afternoon sky. Her frail body wandered over to a near by hangar. She had to conserve energy and flying to the city would drain her dry, plus she had a plan. If an army was taking over New York City, a big, heavy, destructive jet just might come in handy.


The city was covered with invaders. Polaris set the jet to stealth mode and leapt out. She could feel the presence of metal. It was extraordinary. This metal was unlike any thing on Earth.

She approached a field of soldiers. Lifting her hands, they flew into the air, each other metallic suits falling apart into pieces. The police woman’s attack had snapped Lorna’s last bit of sanity into two. Polaris yanked her arms back violently. The invaders’ irony blood spurted out of their bodies. That had gotten the rest of the soldiers’ attention. Taking what had been left of the armor, she formed a metal shield around her body. She raised her hand into the air. The invisible X-Jet fell out of the sky and exploded onto the crowd of aliens.

“It is time I reveal myself.”

[Toby_Temple]

"I have no idea on either questions. All systems on the Quinjet here went dead. Something's jamming satellites, internet hook ups, GPS, you name it. I need you to lock the Quinjet and uplink a power feed through the Negative Zone channel. Right now that's the only way we can connect for long distances. And if ya wouldn't mind, get my sister out of bed, get Frankie and the kids somewhere safe, and the three of you suit up. I think we may be getting some uninvited visitors."

-

"I got something. It's faint, but at least it isn't static..."



Hawkeye adjusted his comm, trying to get a clearer signal.



"Tony!" Hawkeye yelled into the receiver. "Tony, it's Clint. Quinjet is a dead stick. Something is jamming all communication systems and satellite feeds. If your armor is on a direct link to the jet, see if you can triangulate the position. I'll meet you there."

Sorry for this delayed response. I've been analyzing the situation since my arrival at the mansion, scanning for any signal if AIM is coming after me. My new body has been designed with this very special feature. Yes? I know that our target is the being named Dr. Victor Von Doom. But who is this being known as Taskmaster? When I was scanning for AIM I was able to intercept a faint communication with him and another being named Drexxen. And I also know that this is not Latveria. Yes?

[Silverstein]

Returning to the scene of the crime, Central Park. On his way there, he did not notice the people running and screaming, he listened to an iPod. He did not see the faces of fear or what awaited in the sky. No.

It was not until his feet touched the ashes of his work. His sins blew around wildly in the wind. The wind stopped. He saw shadows, like waves flowing across the ground. And a rush of wind blew the leaves, and the grass. But then the wind stopped. Something was moving, but he didn't know what. Up Above!

"Wh-wha What is this!?"

Rows of beings flying overhead. Some kind of army from some kind of invasion. Pyro was lost and confused. He quickly made a flame with his lighter.

The beings kept flying overhead. But he did not know if they were hostile or not, so he made the flame take the form of one of the creatures and sent it into the sky. Their behavior might give him some clue as to what was going on. If all else failed, he could errupt the form and blow them up.

[Midnight Ice]

Bobby Drake ices up to become Iceman and jumps out of the jet.
"Oh boy! I feel like a bonafied Avenger! Lets go kick all of Juggernaught's butts!"

Lorna flipped on the TV. She saw her earlier stint being replayed across New York. If only she could have controlled her temper, this would have never happened.

“Moments ago, Lorna Dane, the magnetic mutant better known as Polaris, threatened and assaulted several protesters in front of Xavier’s School For Gifted Youngsters. As of now, there are no charges filed,”

Polaris clinched her fist tightly. Energy unleashed from her hand sending a metallic lamp through the television. Grabbing her communicator, she set it all frequencies.

“All teams, I am had a small outburst at the mansion. I need to get away for a little while. Where are you guys?”

Iceman pushes down his comm unit.

"Hey baby, we are in Paris about to fight a couple Juggernaughts. The Avengers are here. You should stop by."

[bkhedr]

Thor took to the air, his hammer spinning above his head, and surveyed the damage all around him. Not only had the Juggernaut now found a means to duplicate himself, but he also had small army of armored humaniods at his back.

"Avengers Assemble!"

Upon Hawkeye's command Thor hurled his mighty hammer at the lead Juggernaut. Mjolnir struck its target with a loud bang and the unfortunate Juggernaut went crashing through a bus stop.

Death's Head got no response from any of his companions. They were too preoccupied. Paris was undersiege. Civilian lives were are at stake. The Avengers had no time for a conversation. They only have time for ACTION.

He got up his sit and jump out of the jet. It seemed a reckless moved regarding the situation below, but Death's Head had already predicted the outcome. He would fall to an empty car.

It seems like I could not acquire information from my comrades. So I have decided to acquire it from my adversaries. Yes?

[JewishHobbit]

The Shocker and his force appears a great distance away from the military base that holds the odd energy spike. Hypron immediately joins him as they look through binoculars toward the small shack resembling an outhouse.

"Alright, give me a minute."

He then leans down and places his fingers on the ground. He closes his eyes as tiny vibrations begin to shake the dirt beneath his hand. he feels each grain of dust and dirt as the vibrations slowly spread beneath the surface. He begins to feel stones and old bones from some unknown creature. The vibrations move further until he feels something differant. He continues to spread the vibrations slowly outward.

"The top of the underground base is maybe twenty feet down."

The vibrations spread out toward the shack.

"There's a tube of some kind extending from under the shack down to the base. It's probably some type of elevator. I can't find any other entrances anywhere near, though there's probably at least one. I can judge where the walls are beneath us by the density of the cieling and the way the vibrations feel. Right beneath us is a large room."

A sudden sound brings the soldier's attentions to the shack, that is now flattened. Shocker smiles.

"That way is now officially blocked."

"I'm impressed, sir."

Shocker opens his eyes and stands. It's good to be respected.

"Alright, let's start this branch of the invasion shall well? I don't think this is a large branch of the government's military resources. Let's just take them all out shall we? Leave none alive."

With that the entire force vanishes. Below them they appear in what appears to be a car bay. Shocker looks down a ramp that goes out away from where the shack had stood. It does not rise anywhere near here, or he would have felt it with his vibrations, but this must be the other way out of this place. Shocker then finds a military vehicle and vibrates it until it begins to move toward the small entrance. He piles two cars in this location and vibrates them into a large clump of metal, clogging the exit.

"That makes two entrances blocked. We're the only ones who can get in or out of this place."

Hypron looks to Shocker slightly annoyed, "I thought you wanted this to be a quiet opperation, sir?"

"I've changed my mind. Let's go make war."

Shocker and Hypron lead an assault through the base that begins with four oriental men who ran toward them with guns in the hall just outside of the carport. Shocker watched as two of his soldiers slew them with ease. Their faces reflected the fear in their hearts. They continue to move, and for the most part Shocker directs the soldiers. The force eventually splits as they begin to battle and slay the chinese soldiers beneath this base. Their numbers are not huge, and they are small work for this highly trained alien soldiers.

Nearly an hour into the attack, a soldier comes to Shocker with a roled up piece of paper in his hand. Shocker takes it and realizes that it is a blue print. He looks it over and finds where the room is that Hypron claims the energy spike originates from. He points at two soldiers and waves for them to join him. The three make their way through the halls, the two soldiers slaying every guard that comes at them. Finally they enter a corridor that has no lights, and a fowl smell that the Shocker will never forget. He slowly makes his way down the hall and as his eyes begin to adjust he sees that there is door at the end of the corridor. He slowly makes his way toward it, until a sound catches his ear. Wimpering. He looks around, as it comes nearer than the room. The two soldier with him hear it as well, but do not move as per Shocker's instructions. He slowly creeps forward until he finds a place in the wall where a shelf holds towels and cloths. The sound comes from within this small space, and the Shocker reaches in toward it. From within the small space a man begins to scream, and the Shocker grabs ahold of him and yanks him from the space. He pulls him onto the floor and holds him down. He looks over him and realizes that it is nothing but an older man with glasses and a receiding hairline. He is in a white lab coat, and obviously not a threat to anyone.

"Please don't kill me!" the man please as the tears role down his face. "I have a wife and children, and grandchildren. I won't tell anyone who you are, I promise. Just let me live."

The Shocker looks to the man with pity as he pulls him to his feet.

"Alright, so tell me what I need to know, and maybe you'll live."

"I'll tell you anything!"

"What's behind door number one?"

The doctor looks to him a bit startled, "You don't know? Then why have you come?"

Shocker quickly pulls the man aside and throws him into the wall. He presses his palm against the man's forehead and releases the tiniest vibration he can fathom.

"That was a taste. I can release enough pressure to make your head explode. Now I'll repeat my instructions... you answer the questions that I ask you. Never did I say you can question me. Again, I'll ask. What's in the room?"

The man is crying even more now, but through his tears he begins to blubber his answer.

"It is a monster. He was imprisoned by our government several years ago, he and his brother. But they managed to escape, or were broken out, I do not know as I did not have clearance at the time. One brother was lost, but the other was recaptured. He is far too dangerous to live, and so we keep him here."

"And what makes this man, this monster, so dangerous? And what did your government plan to do with him?"

The man speaks quicker as Shocker amplifies the vibrations going to his head.

"I don't know, I only check his vitals and give psycological evaluations. I'm his doctor. But he can destroy our entire world with only a look. I have heard rumors that the last time he lost controle he nearly destroied a small city. It took only seconds. His brain, it is a star. It is a black hole that sucks in all that is near it. If kept unchecked it could potentiall suck in this world and kill us all."

Shocker is impressed. No wonder he gave off a strange energy spike. He amplifies the vibrations once more.

"His name, moron. I want his name."

"XORN!!! His brother and he,.. they were both named XORN!!!

Shocker drops the man, who quickly turns and vomits. Shocker looks to the frail old man, shaken and crying. He begins to feel pity and remoarse for what he's done to the old man, but he quickly begins to swallow it. He isn't a little time criminal anymore. He's helping a tyrant take over his world. He's above the little lowlifes he use to run with, the Scorpions and the Hammerheads. He has no room for pity.

"Who....," the man coughs out, "Who are you? Where are you from?"

The Shocker smiles as the man begins to stand.

"We're little green men from mars. Nanu Nanu and all that."

Shocker then looks to the man intently as the old man's eyes suddenly grow wide. They begin to vibrate, as does his jaw and hands, soon followed by the rest of his body. The man recoils in what appears to be a strong seizure. Blood begins to flow from his mouth, nose, and ears. He cries at first, but soon no sound can come from his collapsed throught. His arms and legs coil in unearthly fashions, and soon all is still. The man lies in a broken heep, his eyes open with the shock of the dead. The shocker looks down at the man, who is the first man he's ever killed. He swallows the guilt once more, and it's easier this time. He simply stares at the broken man, taking it in for several moments.

"Sir?"

Shocker finally manages to pull his attention from the body and looks to the two guards, and then to the steel door that stands at the end of the hall.

"I've always wanted to see the stars."

And with that he, and the two guards with him, begins to move forward to confront this monster,... this Xorn.

[ElectroFlare]

The Juggernaut that Thor had struck stood up and brush himself off.

"That wasn't very nice!" All three Cain's shouted together.

One Juggernaut placed his hands together, and another ran at him. The second placed a foot into the first one's hands and was launched into the air towards Thor.

During this, the third Juggernaut was rushing towards the remaining heroes as fast as he could, and lowering his head to turn himself into a battering ram...

[Toby_Temple]

Knowing that Reed has sent him to the Avengers as help, Death's Head quickly took aim on the flying Juggernaut clone. His right arm quickly liquifies in response, desolving and reconstructing itself into a menacing gun.

CHUUUOOHHMMMMMMMMMMMM!
http://images.tfaw.com/coverst/med/d/dheadii10.jpg

Two megawatts of pure plasma energy blasts the clone, sending it towards the window of a vacated restaurant.

Ok! I need some information! Either you talk or I'll extract it from you!

He then aims his gun to the other clone, preparing to take another shot.

[Logan Howlett]

A few of us were asked to remain behind, when the opotunity knocked I opened the door wide. Today aint a day for fightin crime. I shouldn't even be here, I should be thousands of miles away, I should be there for Mariko. Today is the day.......the day she was taken from me. Normaly I'd be payin my normal visit to a certain somebody over there, collectin peices of him for what he did to her.........but ever since I almost died, ever since Amiko was kidnapped by Creed, I've had........a new outlook on life. Not that I'm any happier, but just.........Hell I dont know, maybe I'm just more screwed up than ever. I walk into the kitchen and smell my way to a bottle of scotch, pop off the lid and start chugin it down. I raid the fridge and find some of Wade's Kentucky fried chicken.......ironic kinda looks like him, maybe its considered canabalism, hehe. I grab the chicken, and the hooch and head for the livin room, plop myself down in front of the TV. Hmmmmmm Dirty Harry, good movie. Scarlet Witch stroles in wearin a pair of pajama pants and a T-shirt.

.......................This is the aniversary of my finace Markio's death................happy now?

She gets real quiet and starts lookin at the floor. Slowly she raises her head and looks me in the eye.

She slowly turns and walks away. I'm left alone again with my thoughts, and my pain. I keep prayin I can drown it away with this hooch, but so far all Im gettin.........is an urge to piss. Alchohol dont hold up to well against the healin factor. But still I sit here.........drinkin.........and drinkin.....

"CLONES!?!?" Deadpool screamed in horror as he dived into the battle field. "You guys colour co-ordinated? If so lead me to Scarlet Juggernaut, I'll take him out before he turns into Juggernaut-Ben. Why is Spider-man never around when I make fun of the crap points in his history?"

He dived onto one clones head and started to shoot latches off until the clone managed to knock him off. He flew back and hit a wall. "Hmm... I'd give these clones a A-, they're obviously strong, but not Juggernaut strong. Question, can I kill them? What with them being clones and all... and there arn't many in the world that miss Ben Reilly."

[Midnight Ice]

"Great! As if one Juggs wasn't enough, now we have three muscle heads!"

Iceman turns to the one running towards the heros and blasts him with ice, sending him away.

[Spider-Man9X17]

Hawkeye ran through the rubble in the streets, every now and then having to dodge a flying car or two.

"So many Juggs...and not the good kind either," he said to himself, scouting his advesaries. "Which one is the real one?"

Hawkeye knocked his bow and fired at the closest villian. The arrow embedded itself in the Juggernaut's abdomen, producing a loud, feral scream.

"Not that one."

[Watchman]

After a long night of fighting Moon Knight woke up as Stephen Grant this morning. He eat breakfast and went to work. As he was walking up to the entrance a black limo drove up and parked right next him. A man got out of the limo wearing noting but black and sunglasses. He stared right at him.

"Mr. Spector if you will come with me" Moon Knight was startled by this. Great though know my name now he thought

"I'm sorry I have no idea who you are talking about". The man walked up to him and stood very close.

"Oh I think you do...Moon Knight" he pulled out a gun a pointed right at him. "Now hurry up". Moon Knight walked into the limo and the door shut. Sitting in front of him were three men.

"Mr Spector you have stumbled onto something that goes deeper than just Bushman and a low criminal slime like Hammerhead"

"Mr. Lockely you must stop this intrusion on our business"

"Mr. Grant if you do not we will be force to eliminate you"

"You want me to stop...I bet the no one ever try to tell Captain America to stop they just try to kill him"

"So are you going to Mr. Spector?"

"No" said Moon Knight coldly

"Fine then we will destroy you Mr. Grant" the three of them jumped out of their seats. Moon Knightr didn't have any powers yet but he could still fight. He grabbed a gun of the human bodyguard's jacket and put three bullets in the roof. Sun light came pouring down and the vampires went scream and went back into their seats.

"You made a terrible mistake Mr. Spector"

"You will hate the day you crossed us Mr. Lockley"

"Watch your back Mr. Grant". The bodyguard tossed out Moon Knight onto the street and drove off.

"Asking me to stop what nerve"

[Darth Wolverine]

Iron Man grunted as a Juggernaut clone slammed into him, sending him to the ground with a sickening crunch as his chest plate clashed with the concrete. He rolled aside as a mammoth fist struck the area that he had just vacated, spraying shards of rock across the street.

"Bored!" Iron Man quipped, and his chest plate began to pulsate. A blue stream of energy lanced outwards, the brunt of the blast impacting on the Juggernaut's chest and hurling him back. He tumbled through the window of a small cafè, showering them all in glass.

"Next!"

[Electro UK]

"Question number 31, When last the last time we fought?"

"Raargh!" Was Wade's reply as a Juggernaut threw him off oh his shoulders.

"Oh I'm sorry, we were looking for in that strange weird dimension thing that Dr Doom placed us all. Guess that makes you clone number 31!" he shot the final latch of the Juggernaut clone's helmet and put a bullet hole in between his eyes.

Ducking a punch from an icoming Juggernaut, he leapt onto his shoulder. "Okay question 32..."

[The Joker]

What choice could he have? He could run, websling away, and possibly escape. That wouldn't save the hostages.

That wouldn't do any good to anyone. It was time to stop saving himself instead of saving everyone else.

Time to do what he had to do.

Slowly, reluctantly, he dropped to his knees.

Slowly, reluctantly, he shuffled towards Ock and Electro on his knees.

Slowly, reluctantly, he reached for his mask...



Jameson and the others looked in horror,shock,and sadness as Spider-Man crawled on his knees to that multi armed monster,and his sinister partner,who had just murdered a co-worker and dear friend.

Octavius saw them all watching intently as Spider-Man began to unmask himself.Ock shot out a tentacle and gripped Spider-Man's arm.

"NO!! Not here.These plebians don't deserve to know such a glorious secret like your secret identity.Not yet anyway.Not until I am ready to reveal it with your battered and bloody body" Ock said.

He turned to Bugle employees."Take note of this for your pathetic rag fools.Spider-Man has been defeated.He fell to his knees,and crawled towards me like the inferior maggot he is.He bowed to his superior.ME!!! I have always been his superior,his better,and now I have just proven it.Do not forget this fact,I want to see it announced on every newspaper in Manhattan" Ock shouted grandly."Spider-Man kneels before Doctor Octopus!!!".

If Ock's ego wasn't big enough,it was now.Spider-Man kneeling before him.Was it in defeat,fear,desperation?? Octavius did not care.Spider-Man was his now for the taking.

Ock snatched Spider-Man into his tentacles:

"Alright Bobby, give these Juggernauts a good deep freeze, and we'll see how they like being shattered by hundreds of metal blades" Warren said from the air, looking down at the Juggernauts.

[The Question]

Suddenly, Hank Pym steps out and looks at the trio.

"Steve? What the hell's going on? Is that Task...."

The General lifts his gun and points it at Hank.

"Hiya Hank. Siddown."

[ElectroFlare]

"Alright Ock, you win. Do what you're going to do." Spider-man sighed in defeat.

Some hero he was.


"It ain't gonna be that easy!" Cain shouted as the heroes started taking tolls on his clones.

Suddenly the number of Juggernauts doubled. Instead of 3, there were now six Juggernauts to face the combined might of the Avengers and X-men...

[Red]

Eddies eyes began to flicker. He looked around, everything appeared white.

As his vision became clearer, it hit him he was in hospital. He lifted the blue bedcover from over himself and stared down at his cut wrist. His left hand bushed down his arm and slowly rubbed the stitches on his wrist. “I guess it was worth it” Eddie muttered to himself.

:venom: :venom: :venom:

Eddie lay in his bed rapidlyflickingthrough the channels on the TV. He stopped on Jerry Singer today’s show was “my boyfriend is my brother”

“My mom always watches his show.” Spoke a soft voice.

Eddie switched the TV off with the remote and looked over to the door way. There stood a young slim figured, brunette woman with vibrant blue eye that would stand out from miles away.

“Don’t stop on my account.”

“And you would be?”

“Kate. Your nurse” She stretched out her hand.

“Eddie, Eddie Brock” He smiled, it was the first time in years in had felt any emotions other than hate or rage.

“Yeah I noticed” She answered jokingly pointing to his clipboard at the end of his bed.

“Oh yeah” Embarrassed Eddie brushed his hand through his hair.

“I thought I was only in for 24 hours, you know…..”

“Suicide watch” Kate interrupted. “While we were reviewing your file we found that you had some history, so Dr. O’Neil changed it to 48.”

Eddie lowered his head

“Its ok” He looked up and Kate rested her hand on his shoulder.

"Alright Warren, its showtime!"

[Silverstein]

Thanos' invading army ignored the burning clone. They did not even turn to look at it, to at least acknowledge that someone was trying to contact them and see what they were. He was simply ignored like trash.

His whole previous life, he was treated like garbage. Mystique used him, other mutants used him, Magneto did not value him, and he was not missed.

His eyes burned with fury. Pyro was not about to let that happen again. He would be noticed, no matter who they were and how strong they may have been, they would know his name and respect it.

Ten thousand exploding planets could not have matched the explosion that erupted inside of him, and he let the figure ignite into a greater heat of greater intensity.

The fire burned so greatly, that it was seemingly no longer fire at all. Just heat, pure white flame heat. Invisible to man, yet flaring and blaring. Seven of the invading creatures fell to oblivion and only their boots and fragments of armor remained smoking in the street. The surviving green trees of the area were now gone, splinters and charred toothpicks quickly took their place. The ground became the color of night, and half of a car that was in the range simply became a mass of melted ebony parts. The other half remained with melted, twisted metal on the end, but the rest in tact.

In the form of a dome, he released his anger. And the area had been changed. He was now weak and suffering a massive migraine.

"YouYou havhave aa ggreat deal of powerower power."
"Aut viam inveniam aut faciam."
Bubtut yoyuou hhave to to pay a ppprprice. NNNoNothing in tthis or or any other world is free. free. free."
"Beneficium accipere libertatem est vendere.."

The echoes ravaged his head. Voices of a time long passed in some distant place. No.

"Stop it!! Stop it!! No!! It's not right...It's wrong. What is this?!" The pain continued to surge in his head. And voices, strange languages, and images flooded into his eyes, like rain flooding a storming lake. He was now kneeling on the ground holding his face.

Thanos' forces finally acknowledged him. He took out some of their men, showed a great deal of power and was the only thing, not burnt, not covered in ash. They began to approach him as he sat on his knees. Only partially noticing them.

"Who am I?"

[Toby_Temple]

Death's Head noticed the multiplication. He has faced enemies with this kind of tactics. It never worked against him. His eyes can see through the trick.

He focused his eyes on all six Juggernauts, including the ones frozen by Ice Man. Clones emit similar energy signatures except for the real one. The cyborg mercenary seemed to be standing still while his comrades are fighting like there's no tomorrow. Suddenly, he fixated his eyes on one Juggernaut. The real one.

Found him!
http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/dhminion2.jpg[/

[Toby_Temple]

Juggernaut was too preoccupied with the others. He has dealt with the Avengers and the X-Men team before during his short-lived battle with Thor. But now its different. He has a couple of himself plus several humanoid soldiers to aid him.

Death's Head took advantage of this. Obviously, Juggernaut knew nothing about him. He, on the other hand, has a brain filled with data about the present timeline. And Juggernaut was there.

Nice. So Cain Marko had gone toe-to-toe with the Hulk. I'm going to enjoy this. Yes?

Without hesitation, the cyborg dashed towards Cain.

[JewishHobbit]

http://spiderman.ugo.com/images/characters/villains/shocker.jpg

The Shocker moves forward, toward the door as gunfire and screams echoe through the halls. The two soldiers walk closely behind him as he stops just shy of the door. He looks down to the computerized keypad. He presses his palm against it and begins to vibrate it until it breaks. Alarms sound, but he doesn't care. The door doesn't open, and so he decides to try something else. He grabs the door and activates Thanos' teleportation device. He and the door disappear and reappear only ten feet back, as the door falls to the ground, and the Shocker looks beyond the two guards to an empty, dark, room.

"Xorn!" he yells. "I understand that you're being held against your will. My friends and I, we've come to liberate you."

There's no answer, only the slight sound of movement. Time passes and the Shocker begins to grow impatient. Finally he marches forward toward the door of the room, and pears in. His eyes adjust and there he sees a man, siting on a small bench, meditating.

http://www.knightmare6.com/faq/x-men/xorn3_01.jpg

"You know, we went through a lot of trouble getting to you. The last thing you can do is at least answer me when I speak to you."

Another moment passes before Xorn's soft, but slightly broken, voice speaks.

"I apologize, but I was finishing my meditations. It helps me cope with my new suroundings, and it helped me focus on somehting other than the noise that you have been making."

After speaking he tries to stand, and after slight difficulty, he does infact reach his feet. Shocker signals for the two soldiers with him to help the man forward. The two are not very gental, but they do the job as they bring him to Shocker's face.

He looks over the weak man and wonders about this mask that he wears. He remembers how his face is suppose to be a star, and so he makes the connection that this mask must hold that power in check.

"You were meditating. You a priest or something?"

"I am not a priest, but it is in my culture to meditate and fathom such things as the value of life."

"That's peachy. So Xorn, tell me about yourself. Why are you here? I hear you had a brother."

Xorn looks to Shocker and to the two guards and back.

"Yes, I had a brother. He manifested the same mutation as I, and was imprisoned the same time that I had. He was rescued, however, by the X-Men, but he was driven insane and nearly destroyed your New York, posing as a mutant named Magneto."

Shocker remembers when Magneto nearly destroied New York.

"Shortly after that time, I lost control of my power and nearly destroied a town of our own. Again, it was the X-Men who came to my rescue. They saved me and the town, and from there they took me to their home and cared for me. I aided them in a threat that soon followed, but war is not my way, and I returned here, to my home. Unfortunately, the military found me quickly and imprisoned me once more. I was hoping for the X-Men again, but instead I see it is you who have found me."

Shocker nods, "So you're a man of peace huh? I guess you won't like what we have in store then, and I'm guessing you won't work with us willingly. Sorry, pal."

He nods to the guards and one of them drive his fist to the back of Xorn's head, rendering the already weak man unconscious. The guards lift Xorn and the three men leave the cell and make their way back into the main parts of the base. By this time it seems the attack is complete and the last of the injured men are being slain.

"Hurry and finish up here. When you get done, return to our headquarters. We're done with this place. As soon as Rogue finishes her task with that big robot, our attack on China will begin."

And with that Shocker, the two guards, and Xorn vanish.

[Charlie No-One]

“I didn’t hurt you fine young foreigners, did I?” Lorna questioned to the corpses. “No reply? How rude! I was beginning to like you!”

Polaris thought to herself aloud, “If I were a highly powerful alien, where would I go? To Avenger’s Mansions no doubt,”

Lorna floated high into the air and looked towards the mansion. There was an obvious commotion. She decided to take a closer look and flew forward. She was surprised to see two heroes and a well known villain standing inside the famous headquarters. Captain America, one of the heroes, had a gun pointed to Hank Pym’s head. Just then her ear buzzed.

"Hey baby, we are in Paris about to fight a couple Juggernaughts. The Avengers are here. You should stop by."

Lorna put her finger to her ear.

“I am sorry honey. I am just about to kill what appears to be Captain America, the Hulk, Taskmaster, and hundreds of alien invaders. Maybe after I have cleaned the blood off my hands, I will finish Juggernaught. Have a nice day in Paris,”

The mutant ripped the communicator out of her ear and stomped down on it. Her body was pumping with adrenaline.

[Spider-Man9X17]

Johnny hurled a fireball at one of the Juggernauts. Flames ripped across the villians chest, slowly spreading over his whole body. Johnny whipped up another fireball. Taking down Juggernaut was never that easy.

This one began to yell though, and took off in the other direction. The air flowing over his running form only fueled the fire, and by the time he made it to the nearest body of water and jumped in, he looked like some beer bash bonfire.

"Well then, guess I don't know my own strength."

[bkhedr]

Thor spun his mighty mallet in a large circular motion knocking back several of Thanos' soldiers as well as one Juggernaut clones. The others were right, the clones were considerably weaker than the original.

"Found Him!" Death's head exclaimed as Thor searched for another opponent. If the Cyborg had indeed identified, and was now charging towards, the real Juggernaut, then he may have bitten off more than he could chew.

Thor began spinning his hammer at his side and rushed to aid his gruesome ally

[Silverstein]

"Who are you?" Pyro asked as they grabbed him up.
Between inchorent gurgles and sounds, "Thanos" was said clearly.
"My head...I can't.." The creatures stood him up, and held his arms behind his back. They made judgement on him. They judged that he killed their comrades. The punishment may have been death, but he was lucky.

With a roar, a larger version of the beings came over. His colors were slightly different and he seemed more in charge. The creature punched him in the face. For a split second, the world seemed to shatter into pieces of glass. He didn't know if his teeth were still there, his body began shaking and his jaw chattered, checking for them.

"You may be of use. Human." So wrong. The way the creature said "Human" made him feel guilty for being alive. It was so dirty, so wrong, the word sounded like some kind of horrid sin. It was one of the last things he would see before a ship landed nearby and he passed out.

They took him, though. They took him in one of their machines, their airships, and flew him up into their melancholy parade.


"Crede quod habes, et habes." His eyes opened. Looking around, there was some kind of commotion outside. It seemed that his captors had been heading somewhere. He was in some kind of jail inside of the ship, so it would be hard to escape.

He wondered if he were a criminal, but remembered that these beings were not from earth. And the punch from earlier, with the weird language, was a sign that these people were not of any kind of law. They were alien invaders of some sort.

Little did he know that the ship landed just outside of Avenger's Mansion. He took the time to look into the shinning metal at the reflection to try to figure out who he was.

"I'm an average guy. The face I see doesn't look like me." He didn't remember who he was, but he knew that the face he saw was not truly the man he was inside. He wondered if he had surgery done. Maybe he was a criminal and changed his face to hide, but they found him anyway. That would explain things up until that point. But he didn't want to believe that just yet.
"This man. Me. I'm wearing all black. I must be gothic or something. And a red cloak...I wonder if this is a sign of a cult?"

The thoughts were drained from his mind when a large fragment of metal crashed through the ceiling and ripped right into the ground. It was like a knife cutting through butter. An intense battle must have been happening outside.


It was at that very moment that something great happened. A spark from the metal landed on his cloak and caught fire. He naturally was not affraid of the fire. He was more affraid of why he wasn't. It began to take the form of a hawaiian dancer and dance for him. He realized that it was him controlling the fire. The name "Pyro" suddenly came back to him.

"My name. My name is Pyro." Pyro turned the flame into a bird and sent it through the hole in the ship to see if anyone would notice. He had to get out somehow. And with a battle going on, he'd get killed if he didn't get out soon.

[The Question]

"Cap, what the hell is this?"

"Let's just say, I'm not the model you're familiar with."

Hank grows to about 15 feet tall and looms over the atackers.

"Hulk. Take him. Taskmaster, give the word to the troops. Time to rain some hell down on this god forsaken down."

[The Joker]

"Alright Ock, you win. Do what you're going to do." Spider-man sighed in defeat.

Some hero he was.


Octavius laughed."You are even more pathetic than I gave you credit for wall crawler.I haven't seen you this pathetic since our first encounter".

Ock retracted on of his tentacles and delivered a devastating blow to Spider-Man's face knocking him out.Spider-Man's body went limp.Ock dropped him to the floor.

"Weak and pathetic.Like I've always said.Something else you can include in your worthless rag Jameson" Ock said as he walked over to Electro.

"We're done here.Spider-Man is ours.We'll take him somewhere more private to issue him a most fitting demise.Then we move on to bigger and better things".

Ock raised himself on two tentacles,and coiled Spider-Man in another two.Carrying him like a prize trophy,Ock exited thru the large hole in the Bugle wall,followed by Electro who floated on a wave of electricity.

“All set to go I see.” Kate once again appeared as if from no where, spooking Eddie.

Eddie smirked “Yeah, looks that way doesn’t it”

Eddie took a deep breath “Maybe we” he paused for a moment “I mean “I” could take you out for a meal sometime, you know to say thank you”

“Look Eddie, you’re a nice guy and all, but…I have a boyfriend”

Eddie shrugged if it off as if he didn’t care “that’s ok, maybe another time.”

“Yeah maybe” answered Kate.

Eddie approached the room’s door and took one last look over his shoulder before leaving.

Warren swooped down and unleashed an arsenal of razor feathers into the first frozen solid Juggernaut. It shattered into a hundred pieces on the ground.

"That's never happened before" Warren thought to himself.

He then came back around and flew towards the second frozen Juggernaut with his wing outstretched. His wing clipped the side of the Juggernaut and it shattered into about 5 big pieces.

"Okay...somethings not right here. What the hell is going on Bobby?!"

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a330/HypsterJB/Thanos1.jpg

Thanos sat up in his throne and watched the events unfold from holographic screens all around the room. The first wave of the invasion had begun. Troops have teleported in all across the globe. From Los Angeles to New York, Paris to Moscow, Beijing to Sidney...the war was raging.
The majority of the world's militaries were caught completely off guard. Troops were being slaughtered by the significantly better equipped soldiers of Thanos' army. Military bases were being destroyed all around the globe.
By the Titan's estimates, over half of the worlds military might would be destroyed before a suitable resistance would be formed. By then Thanos' armies would already have major footholds all across the planet.

The only resistance to Thanos' armies at the current time came from the costumed heroes of Earth. Some were powerful enough to not only hold their own against his troops, but even turn the tide of battle.
Luckily though, Thanos had the advantage of numbers on his side. When he took over this vessel he knew that the Enslaver's powers, and those of his armored troops, all came from the massive power plant of the great worldship. Thanos had made some changes to the power plant, and it now served to create for him an army the size of which this universe has never seen before.

The Titan pressed a small button on the throne's arm and an intercom crackled to life, "Doctor Auld, is the next wave ready?"

"Yes, my Lord. Batches A-sixteen to B-twelve are ready for the field."

"Excellent. Begin sending them to the teleportation terminals for transport."

"As you command, Lord Thanos", replied the Doctor as the transmission was ended.

Along with Drexxen, Auld was one of Thanos' most trusted men. But, while Drexxen has his place on the field of battle, Auld was unmatched in the laboratory. Throughout the entire galaxy, Auld was known as the greatest geneticist of the time. Even Thanos was impressed by his works. So impressed that he had hired the greedy Doctor to work for him.
Auld's mission was to continuously breed soldiers for Thanos' armies. The soldier's growths were excellerated thanks to the energies of the power plant, and they were programmed to be nothing but warriors under the command of Thanos.

It was an endless supply of fodder for the Titan. So, even if the metas of the Earth could halt the tide of Thanos' initial forces, he had an unending supply of troops to take up the cause. Eventually, the planet would be his.

Thanos continued to watch the monitors as the battle raged on the planet on the other side of the sun. Thanos sat back and smiled as he took in the carnage as it unfolded before his eyes.
It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

The Hulk charges Yellowjacket. Some of Thanos' forces were already attacking, now it was time to show our real power.

"Okay, people, it's time. Remember kill any law enforcement officials, take the innocents to the designated area's."

"General, you and I should look for any others in the mansion. I'd go by myself, but you know your way around this place better that I do."

[The Question]

"Right-o."

The General leads Taskmaster down the hall. Suddenly, Crystal pops out.

"What the....?"

The General raises his gun and begins shooting. Crystal creates a stone barrier to protect herself.

"Taskmaster. Deal with her. I'll look for more stragglers."

The General leaves Taskmaster to deal with the Inhuman. He walks through the halls, until he finds a partially open door. He opens it, and inside is none other than Wanda Maximoff.


The Scarlet Witch.

"Hello."

"Hello, Wanda."

"Is everything allright?"

"Oh...."

The General smiles.

".....everything's just fine."

[Logan Howlett]

GUNSHOTS! I spring my claws instantly. *SNIKT* Check the air, look for the scent that aint supposed to be there.......(snif, snif)........TASKMASTER! Why you......wait....someone else, I hear em' talkin to Wanda. DAMN! I rush to her room and burst through the door, standin in front of her is some guy who I guess thinks he's Cap! But he dont smell like Steve!

I DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE BUB! Now you can either tell me who you are, and I let you live, or you play macho man and I gut ya like a pig!

[The Question]

"Ah. Logan. A headstrong brawler in whatever world he calls home. I wonder. Do you have that pesky little healing factor here too?"

The General raises his guns and shoots Logan seveal times.

"Wh...what's happening?"

The General smacks Wanda over the head, knocking her out.

"I'll get to you later."

The General walks over to Logan.

"Shall we dance?"

[Logan Howlett]

...............His bullets sear hot in my chest, but they aint gona keep me down. Man did he pick the wrong house on the wrong day!

Arghg..........dance huh?........ya sure, LETS TANGO!

I swipe my claws at his gun tearing it apart. Then I go for a swipe at his chest, the S.O.B. dodges! How'd he do that, even Steve has a hard time out manurvering me! It don't matter, I compensate real well! I fake a lunge and swing up with my claws, tearing at his chest! Normaly I'd have felt my claws go deeper, but for some reason they had one hell of a resistance. This guy must have some sorta Super strength/invulnerability crap! Or maybe I'm just havin an off day. I look at him clutching his chest kneeling down.

NEVER HIT A LADY BUB!

[The Question]

"Normally, I woul agree. But today, I've got buisness to atend to."

The General whips out his sheild, and lunges at Logan. He punches him across the face.

"It seems that no matter where I go, it's the same."

He kicks Logan in the stomach.

"I'll always be stronger than you....."

The General blocks a strike with his sheild and strikes Logan in the crotch.

".....faster than you....."

The General strikes Logan across the face with his sheild.

".....and a HELL of alot smarter than you!"

Cain Marko turned around at the last moment.
POOWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Cain took a powerful blow to his face. He staggered and was pushed several yards back.

So. Your far more powerful than your clones, ain't ya, Cain Marko. The mystic gem of Cyttorak is quite an impressive relic to posses. Yes?

Death's Head quickly grabbed Cain's right arm, made a hammer-throw-like maneuver, and send Cain towards one of his clones.

Too bad he is not as fast and as agile as the Hulk. Maintaining my current speed would give me the upper hand.

[Logan Howlett]

...................umrgrhrgh, Wha-.....what did.......I'm on the ground! DAMN! I'm on the ground! this guy moves and looks like Steve, but he can't be, he doesnt smell like him!........wait.....I'm pickin up somethin I didnt get before, its like a small part of Steve, faint barely noticeable. Could he be.........no......its not possible Cap would never betray his team mates! Blood pours down my mouth as I say,

........You put on a good act, you got the Costume, the bravado, the arogance o' Cap, but who the hell are you, realy?

[The Question]

"Me? I'm General Steve Rogers. Former special operations agent for the U.S. military. And I'm the guy who's about to kick your ass from here to greenwich."

The General strikes downards with his sheild.

[taskmaster]

Crystal lets down her barrier and sees me coming toward here. She hurls a boulder at me and puts up another barrier. I catch the boulder and throw it through a wall.

"What's going on. You're only human, you shouldn't be able to lift up that boulder." Crystal says behind the barrier

I teleport behind her.

"Right now, I would be more worried about my safety then my opponents limitations."

She quickly blocks herself with a sheet of rock. I unsheath my sword and cut through it, the sword touching her neck after the cut.

"Sorry but in war there are always casualties."

I run the sword through her neck, twist the blade, and move on.

[Silverstein]

He found a way out of the ship. It was harder getting to safety than getting out of the ship. He simply used the firey bird he created, to melt the hole at the top of the ship. When it was big enough to crawl through, he got out.

Pyro watched as a man got whacked in the face with a shield, and then the people started talking. Something about US military. He decided to ignore the people and make his way to the mansion just up ahead.

[bkhedr]

Cain Marko turned around at the last moment.
POOWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Cain took a powerful blow to his face. He staggered and was pushed several yards back.

So. Your far more powerful than your clones, ain't ya, Cain Marko. The mystic gem of Cyttorak is quite an impressive relic to posses. Yes?

Death's Head quickly grabbed Cain's right arm, made a hammer-throw-like maneuver, and send Cain towards one of his clones.

Too bad he is not as fast and as agile as the Hulk. Maintaining my current speed would give me the upper hand.

Thor leapt at the real Cain just as he was coming to his feet and struck a thunderous blow with Mjolnir.

"Detestable henchman!" The god of Thunder bellowed as he followed the hammer strike with a collosal right hand.

Cain shook with the force of the punch and swung back but Thor was prepared for his speed now and he managed to duck under the punch.

"Thine instincts hath proven themselves true Death's Head!" Thor shouted as he backhanded Cain across the chest with his hammer.

"Now fight on and we twain shall stop this threat at its source!"

[Duker Jay]

BWOOP! BWOOP! BWOOP!

Alarms rang out in the hallways of the upper floors of the Baxter Building. For three members of one of the world’s premier super-team, it meant one thing. Trouble.

“Ben!” Reed Richards barked into his communicator. “It’s time to go.”

Mr. Fantastic had just teleported his children to the moon when the alert erupted and images of an invading army flashed across his laboratory’s monitors. Almost immediately after Reed’s call, Ben Grimm stormed into the room, carrying an impressive array of technological weaponry.

“Whadda we got?”

“An invasion force, Ben. Large numbers and, by the looks of things, extremely powerful.” Scenes of destruction, both in New York and around the world appeared on the screens. “We’ve got to move now. Until we can determine exactly what’s going on, our mission is protecting the city and stopping these soldiers as best we can.”

“Let’s go…” At the sight of the horrific images before him, Ben felt a familiar emotion surging inside of him. But it was not the anxiety that had recently been triggering his transformations; it was courage.

“Ben and I will go. Reed, stay here and figure out what we’re fighting. There’s no use to all of us going out there unless we have a plan to stop it.”

“You might be right, Susan. You two be careful out there.”

Susan followed Ben out of the room.

“Colonel Fury…are you online? Do you have any idea who this invading force is?”

[Toby_Temple]

Thor leapt at the real Cain just as he was coming to his feet and struck a thunderous blow with Mjolnir.

"Detestable henchman!" The god of Thunder bellowed as he followed the hammer strike with a collosal right hand.

Your hammer is mystical, right? I'll keep him busy. Hit him with your hammer everytime you see an opening. My weapons does not do any good against the Cain's mystic powers. But I could use my strength to hold him back.

Cain is now pissed. He has taken several blows and not landing a single one against his attackers.

[JewishHobbit]

The Shocker appears in their base with the two alien soldiers that carry Xorn.

"Find a prison for him, and tie his hands behind his back. Make sure he can't remove his own mask, got it?"

The nod and depart with the mutant. Shocker then heads toward the holographic computer. He finds Rogue there, typing away at a keyboard while looking at some type of computerized code in the hologram.

"How's it coming, Rogue?"

"Hold on," she says without turning to face him. A moment later she continues, "This is a lot more complex than anything ah've messed with, well, that Kitty's messed with. See, it's not just a big ol' computer, it's also got some type of chinese encoding, so ah'm trying to access Logan's part of my brain to read it, and then there's also some type of magical tough to it. The files they have here say that the Tri-Sentinel was created by Loki, so that explains that. Anyhow, I'm almost there. No wait,..." she hits a few more keys and the holographic image of the codes begin to scan and move. Shocker looks to the hologram, lost to what it says, and waits patiently. Then the hologram stops and a small message in chinese blinks repetatively.

"What's that mean?"

Rogue smiles, "That means we have ourselves a pet, magically enchanted Sentinel"

Shocker smiles as Hypron enters the room.

"Sir, we've complete the exicution of the military base. There were no survivors. What are our next orders?"

"Alright, very good. Next, we're going to take China. I got word while on my way in here that Thanos is going to be sending in a wave of soldiers any time now. As soon as they appear, we're going to move. Rogue, if you can bring up that map they had earlier of the locations of all the missiles and such?"

Rogue does as she's told, and the map of China with all the military bases shows with the missiles and other weapons glowing brightly.

"This, lady and aliens, is our next target. We're taking China tonight. While Thanos' forces flood the streets, we're going to release the Tri-Sentinel for an added distraction. Then those of us here are going to teleport into each of these bases and claim them as ours. Kill, pilage, imprison, whatever you want. The goal in the end is to take control of those weapons."

"Sir!" comes a voice from nearby, and they turn to see a soldier sitting at a side computer motioning to them. "Sir, we've got visual. The second wave, and first here in China, have been sent. They're raging war in the streets and the military is beginning to act."

"War is upon us gentlemen," he smiles, having heard that in a movie and liking the way it sounds. "Rogue, I think now would be a great time to send that Tri-Sentinel out into battle. Program it so that it won't attack our forces, and that it obeys our commands. Then you and me, we're going to claim ourselves a country.

------------------------------------------------------

Within Beijing there is a factory sized military base. Within this base, the Tri-Sentinel is being studied for final tests by the Chinese military. Suddenly, the large robot's eyes flash on. It turns its head, studying it's suroundings, and then it lifts its arms. People begin screaming and running as the large robot begins to blast people, killing them with one shot. When all that had been studying it are dead, it continues to crash through the military base, facing every weakly foe that would come against it. A short time later the military base that looked like a factory lies in ruin. The Tri-Sentinel looks out over the lands beyond the rubble and begins to move forward.

"MISSION: DESTROY ALL THREATS ISSUED AGAINST THE FORCES OF THANOS OF TITAN. PROGRAM INITIATE. PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL. ALL ENEMIES OF THANOS AND HIS FORCES WILL BE TERMINATED."

And with that it looks to the wars that rage in the streets below it. And it joins in on the war, destroying all in its path that comes against Thanos' forces.

<Archangel>

Warren swooped down and unleashed an arsenal of razor feathers into the first frozen solid Juggernaut. It shattered into a hundred pieces on the ground.

"That's never happened before" Warren thought to himself.

He then came back around and flew towards the second frozen Juggernaut with his wing outstretched. His wing clipped the side of the Juggernaut and it shattered into about 5 big pieces.

"Okay...somethings not right here. What the hell is going on Bobby?!"
"I am not too sure Warren. Between these shatterable Juggernaughts and Lorna apparently going to kill Cap, Hulk and Taskmaster, I don't know what is going on. I hope Lorna doesn't get herself into trouble, or actually tries to kill Cap and the Hulk. She has been acting kinda strange lately.

Bobby glides through the air, while talking to Arcangel and freezing a bunch of enemy troops.
