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

[Spider-Man9X17]

Johnny and Electro's battle had really heated up, literally. Between the bursts of electricity and shots of flames, any regualr building would have surely caught fire by this time. Johnny still didn't want to take the risk of dragging this fight out too long though. Pulling himself up, he hit a button on his belt, and dodged another crackling torrent of lightning, but just barely. He could smell burning ozone all around him.

"C'mon, Max. Last I remember, you were a little better at this. I've barely broken a sweat, and that's a lot coming from me."

Electro howled in disgust, letting off a more powerful barrage of electricity. Johnny dodged, not easily, but still kept taunting the villian. The madder he made him, the sloppier he should get, and then would be the time to attack.

"You must have a real problem with static hair in the morning. Is that why your so angry..." Johnny paused, looking over Electro's shoulder. He couldn't believe it. Bullseye was leaving. He was getting into the elevator and leaving. Electro was now grossly outnumbered against the rest of the Fantastic Four, and Johnny's back-up plan, who was now standing ready around the corner, out of sight.

"Hey, your buddy's leaving," Johnny informed his foe, pointing to the elevator.

 

[The Joker]

Back at the old Octavius home in Schenectady New York,Ock and Sandman were recuperating after last nights events.Ock was celebrating with a cigar and a glass of scotch.
Sandman was downing a bottle of whiskey and had the T.V. on.He was watching 'South Park' and laughing hard at the dirty jokes this programme was filled with.

Suddenly the programme was interrupted by Osborn's broadcast.Ock dropped his glass of scotch as it smashed on the floor.He removed his shades and stared in disbelief as Osborn murdered Carolyn and Stunner.As the broadcast ended with Osborn's grinning face on the screen Sandman looked over at Ock who was sitting there motionless.

Suddenly two of his tentacles shot out and smashed thru the T.V. tearing it to pieces."Hey I was watching that" Sandman said as he sat up and took another swig of his scotch.

"How DARE he!!!" Ock shouted as he stood up."I'll rip his spine out and strangle him with it".Suddenly Ock stopped and flopped back into his seat."Angelina......my poor sweet Angelina".Sandman looked at Ock and put down the whiskey bottle."Well what did you expect Octavius?? You ruined his big plans for becoming president.You didn't think he was going to take that lying down did you??".

Ock looked at Sandman with a look of pure rage."Oh no.I was expecting him to react.But he killed Angelina.My poor sweet Stunner.And for that he will pay.But first I must see Angelina's body.I.....I need to pay my respects.And then.." Ock said as he flexed out a tentacle and gripped Sandman's whiskey bottle."Then I'll crush Osborn for good" as he crushed the whiskey bottle shattering it to pieces.

Sandman grinned and rubbed his chin."Listen Octavius why don't you let me handle Osborn.You go and visit your old flame and let me take down Osborn.He won't be expecting an attack from me".

Ock stood up and walked over to Sandman."No don't attack Osborn himself.Attack him where it will really hurt.I want you to destroy Oscorp.You heard me William.I want you to destroy it.Burn it,blow it up,smash it to pieces,just destroy it.He's already lost his freedom and is now a fugitive thanks to me.But now will take away the last thing he holds dear.His precious company.What do you think William.Are you up to the task??"

OOC: Sandman's gonna be smashed before long after downing all that whiskey and scotch, innit he?

"Hey, your buddy's leaving," Johnny informed his foe, pointing to the elevator.

This made Max angry. His depression was a joke to the Torch? The little runt that had everything. Money, looks, powers, but most importantly, a girl who loved him.

Max saw Bullseye begin to walk out to the door but stopping wasnt what he had in mind. Bullseyes departure had served as a distraction and that was exaclty what Max needed. using his owers, he slammed a TV into the torches unsuspecting back, making him fall into the lift before Bullseye got in. Max then snapped the door shut (OOC: He has complete control over this lift, it's electric) "Work your way out of this match stick!" He shouted as he sent the lift hurling towards the ground.

"One down, two to go" He said turning to Mr Fantastic and the Invisible woman

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

Johnny's voice blared over the commlinks.

"SUE, CRYSTAL, NOW!!!"

Electro was suddenly surrounded by an invisible force field, as Crystal appeared from behind the corner, being summoned by Johnny just moments ago. She slowly approached the imprisioned villian, looking at something along the ceiling as she did. Electro looked up. The ceiling was lined with water pipes, fire extinguishers. They must have been shut off, otherwise The Torch would have activated them.

"You know, when we Inhumans are just tiny little babies, we're given our superhuman powers through an ancient practice. Me, I have the abiltity to control the earth, wind, fire,..." she paused, as she stood before Electro, "And water." The pipes above began to shake, and one by one, water began pouring from the spickets, nearing ever closer to Electro's makeshift prison.

"He wants to play hardball, huh?" Johnny made it to he bottom floor of the Baxter Building and ran outside. Night was setting over the city. Perfect. Johnny took off into the sky, sending out a signal for any available heroes who may see it. These guys wanted to break into his house, terrorize his family? Then he would make sure they were duely "rewarded" for their efforts.

Johnny finished his message, and flew back through the window of the Baxter Building. Bullseye still seemed to be occupied with Spider-Man, but electro wasn't fairing too well.

"Let's see how much you like those powers now, Sparky!" Johnny yelled as the pipes over Electro's invisible cell burst.

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

OOC:im now available to help if anyone needs help just ask I would love to help. If not I will try and look for hobgolblin and his army to fight.

That should be fun.

OOC: The Human Torch sent out a signal flare for any available heroes who wanna rough up Electro and Bullseye.

More water...great. Max formed a shield over his head. He couldn't do anything now, he had to escape. He leapt out of the window and hovered outside it. The floor was wet now, and everyone was standing on it. Max shocked the floor, connecting everyone who touched it shocking them hard.

"Ha!" Max laughed "Your all talk!" Then Max took to the sky. "Lets see how it works one on one Torch, just me and you in a battle in the sky!"

 

[nixonbat]

OOC: Just treat Mole Man as an NPC...I'm sticking to the DC thread. The way Karem has been treated is crap, and I'm not hanging out for it. This kid does everything he can to make this game good, and people either steal from him, or crap on his efforts. I WILL NOT be a part of a game that craps on dedicated players. If Karem asks me back...I'll play. If not, NPC Mole Man and I'm gone. You guys should be ashamed for walking over this kid.

...

Sandman grinned and rubbed his chin."Listen Octavius why don't you let me handle Osborn.You go and visit your old flame and let me take down Osborn.He won't be expecting an attack from me".

Ock stood up and walked over to Sandman."No don't attack Osborn himself.Attack him where it will really hurt.I want you to destroy Oscorp.You heard me William.I want you to destroy it.Burn it,blow it up,smash it to pieces,just destroy it.He's already lost his freedom and is now a fugitive thanks to me.But now will take away the last thing he holds dear.His precious company.What do you think William.Are you up to the task??"

William cocked an eyebrow at Ock and snatched up the leather coat he'd tossed to the floor, which now smelled of alcohol thanks to Ock busting up the bottles of liquor. He dropped the sopping coat back to the floor. "I can handle it. Go say your goodbyes and I'll meet up with you later," he said as he left the house, giving a few quick glances around before disappearing with a quiet swirling of sand as he dropped into the ground. He had a few stops to make before visiting Osborn's laboratory complex in the business district.

"I need the big stuff - these little fireworks aren't going to make the sort of display I'm looking for," William was saying half an hour later, leaning against the desk of another underground supplier. Everyone knew where to look when you were in need of some...equipment in this city. The stocky man behind the counter scratched his head. "You know those don't come cheap," he muttered, ashes falling from the cigarrette pinched between his teeth. William slipped a thick stack of bills from his back pocket and dropped it on the counter. "It's clean," he commented before the other man could say anything about it. He flipped through the wad of bills and eyed William hesitantly. "I'll see what I got."

It was getting dark now, giving Sandman the cover of night as he made his way to the business district, past warehouses and refinery plants enroute. In a bag slung carelessly over one shoulder, he walked right up to the beefy looking guard standing in the small watch post just outside the main gates. A quick glance at the faintly glowing gates told him they were protected by nearly the same technology that was used to program the collars supervillains wore at Rykers. The guard house was the same way, which meant he couldn't slip by as Sandman.

The guard stood up lazily and leaned against the reinforced window. "Passcode and ID, sir," he said. William nodded his head closer to the window. "Sorry, didn't hear you. Say again?" he asked. The guard repeated the standard greeting. William narrowed his eyes. "I'm a little hard of hearing, buddy, mind repeating that one more time?" he asked. Irritated now, the guard slid back the protective shield over the glass and was instantly snatched up and slammed forward against the shield until he slumped over the desk, unconscious. Ah, rent a cops. Had to love 'em for their stupidity. William grinned as he let go of the guard and reached his arm around, pressing the button to open the gates. "Thanks. I appreciate it," he quipped as he entered the fenced in complex, aware that he couldn't become Sandman in here without setting off all kinds of alarms. Norman was at least smart enough to continually scan for superbeings in his playground. Not that it mattered. If a common thug like me could get in, he thought, no super is going to have to bother with his powers. There were a few patrolling guards wandering around, all of whom he took care of with relative ease.

He found the main warehouse in the center of lesser storage houses in the complex and set the bag down, unzipping it to reveal a mother load of C4 packages and detonator switches. It didn't take him long to work around the perimeter of the warehouse, loading it up with way more explosives than was necessary. But if you're gonna do something like blow up someone's livelyhood, at least do it with some class. Finally the last package was wired around the warehouse and William lit a cigarette before walking away, pulling a signalling device from the bag before dropping it to the dusty ground.

"Hope you didn't have anything too important going on in there, Norman," William said to himself as soon as he was a safe distance outside the complex. He flicked the switch and shielded his eyes as the explosion rocked the enclosed area, the flash almost as brilliant as the sound of the warehouse collapsing in on itself. William had to laugh as he overlooked the burning wreckage inside the complex, other smaller eruptions popping up here and there as chemicals and machinery caught fire and exploded.

The sound of chaos. It was music to his ears.

OOC: I fail to see how Karem is being walked all over. He's a major character player in this game, he should be prepared to take some hard plot turns here and there. I commend him for doing a fine job at every twist in the rpg. He's taking it all in stride and doing well - look how he turned the tables on Ock and killed the two woman who had any sort of relationship with him. He's in trouble with the election campaign but I'm sure he's going to weasel his way out of that and come back for some revenge with blinding fury.

Sudden twists and turns is what happens in a rpg like this, and Karem's rolling with the punches extraordinarily well.

 

[Karem-Knight]

The Green Goblin stood in front of the wreckage that was Oscorp. The fire was still raging, but it paled in comparison to the burning, hateful fury in Osborn's eyes. If Osborn hadn't lost everything already, he certainly had now.Or so it seemed this buidning was a diffrent Oscorp.

But he was Norman Osborn. More importantly, he was The Green Goblin! He'd lost everything before. but he always found a way to come back, stronger and more dangerous than ever. And he would do it again. For now, he could only think about vengeance against one man:

"Octavius..."

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

Sue's shield had protected everyone from the brunt of the attack, but the feedback had weakened her severely, and Cyrstal had been knocked out from being connected to the water. Johnny rushed over to Crystal, checking for a pulse. Thankfully, she was still breathing.

"Sorry kid, I gotta pull you out of this fight." Johnny hit the communicator button again. "Medusa, get your sister out of here. She's gonna need some medical help." Johnny switched off the communicator, and Crystal slowly began to vanish.

Johnny got up and rushed to the window. Electro was quickly fleeing from the Baxter Building.

"Johnny, stay back. He's leaving, let it at that," Reed demanded. "He can't get back in. The shields will scatter his molecules thorughout several different dimensions if he tries. It's over."

"No way. This isn't over until I say it is. I am so sick of these rejects attacking my family, everyone I love and care about. This ends right now, TONIGHT!!"

Reed had rarely heard such emotion and intensity in Johnny's voice. He always played it so cool, so fun-loving that it was easy to forget the intensity he held inside. If there was one thing you didn't mess with, it was Johnny Storm's family.

"Take this, son," Reed handed Johnny a small plastic bracelet. "It will nullify the worst of his powers, but you can't rely on it for long. It's all composite materials, and i don't know how long the circuits will hold up."

Johnny snapped it on his wrist.

"I only need a second." He seethed, before taking off out the window. Electro had stopped, waiting for Johnny to catch up. He was goinig to wish he had kept running.

Johnny plowed into Electro, and the two went soaring through the air tangled together, neither able to gain an advantage. Johnny took Electro by the wrists, his flames slowly burning through the villians costumes. Johnny squeezed harder, and his flames started to grow more and more white.

"And now, for my next trick...."

Johnny exploded into his Nova Flame.

 

[swingerbone]

Reed helped his wearily weakened wife to rest and regain her energy. He watched as Johnny's flame trail faded from sight out of the window. Then a huge burst of light filled the sky...

Reed knew Johnny was going Nova... indeed he had matured and this new side slightly scared Reed. It was that balance that every man had to have to keep his sanity. He was no longer fighting for himself. He was fighting for Frankie, and the whole Fantastic Four.

Something Spider-Man had mentioned once stuck in Reed's mind: *With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility*

 

[Venom160]

*Nate looks up and sees Magneto working reprograming the sentinels.*

"I guess that's the que."

*Nate rises off of the ground and starts to build the power within himself.

After reaching full capacity he releases the power in the form of a cone the destroys everything inside the building leaving the giant robots floating outside unharmed.*

~Phase two....complete...need a little...can't keep psychic link....~

*Nate falls to the ground. As his body hits the ground a half destroyed Mastermold begins to walk towards him.*

Sabretooth sees Mastermold about to step on Nate, he runs and snags him the second before the foot slams down on the ground.

"The psychic links gone and Magneto's busy right now so im assuming temporary command! Juggernaut trip that thing up I have an idea that will take the thing out of commission and X-Man drain some of my energy like you did last time, we'll need your power if my plan dosen't work."

 

[SpideyLad]

OOC: Great fight spideylad Im happy I finally got a fight in with someone and it not get interupted

Ghost rider came up from beneath the surface of the water

"ha ha ha ha ha ha, that was alot of fun I have not had a fight like that in a long time. I Can not wait to fight him again

OOC:My pleasure DarkHell Rider, until we meet again.........

 

[Rizpower]

Sable couldn't move now.All she could do is speak

"Nick, get out of here while you can!

"Don't worry about me!"

The Ten were fast approaching, just as they prepared to administer the coup de grace

"--bzzzt This is Hobgoblin, fall back, all squads full retreat, we've been here long enough we may get unwanted attention, repeat, pull back with what you've got and set the carrier ablaze!-bzZt"

They heard their orders. They'd get her another day. Tossing a flashbang pumpkin bomb, they jetted for the nearest access point to the sewers.

 

[Twitch]

Kurt teleported to X-men HQ . He walked into the Danger Room.

"You need me?"

 

[Sparta*]

"Hey Kurt! your just in time. We are about to do some training while we are waiting for Forge and Wolverine to arrive so we can discuss an attack plan for Genosha. Do you want to join Iceman, Rogue, Cyclops and myself in the danger room? If there are going to be 5 of us participating I am going to load the Brotherhood Program. We will train against Toad, Pyro, Avalanche, Mystique and Magneto. As soon as everyone is ready I will load the program.....just let me know when"

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Jeezus, is she OK?" Frankie gasped as Crystal reappeared in Attilan.

"She'll be fine. She was still connected to the water when she was attack, so she'll be out for a little while, but I expect a full recovery." Medusa explained as she picked up her sister. "She did succeed in helping to drive Electro from the Baxter Building, however."

"Then why hasn't Johnny sent for me to come back?"

Medusa paused. She was not use to seeing Frankie Raye so powerless, and she feared upsetting her in her current state. But she could not lie to her.

"The Human Torch gave chase. He and Electro are still fighting. I believe Johnny plans to finally put Electro away for good. Have faith, Frankie." Medusa exited the room to find medical aid for her sister. Frankie paced back and forth in the room as Franklin played with Val and Lockjaw. In all her worry, she never noticed the small patches of flame sporadically bursting from her body.

 

[Rizpower]

OOC: Frankie's on fire? what, did Johnny accidentally flame on last nights semen? hehe.

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

OOC: Frankie's on fire? what, did Johnny accidentally flame on last nights semen? hehe.

OOC: Frankie Raye is also a Human Torch. Her step father built the original android Torch, and she got her powers from an accident in his lab. You should read a bio on her.

No, I'm aware. That was a bad joke. And I assumed Frankie wasn't doing anything torchlike lately. Meh, probably just mentally freaking out.

"And now, for my next trick...."

Johnny exploded into his Nova Flame.

Max formed a shield insantly but the force of the blast was to strong, after a few seconds, he couldn't stand it any longer. The shield fell hitting Electro with such force that he fell instantly.

After what seemed an eternity of falling Max thought "This is it, I'm going to die... I'm going to join Mia" That thought made Max think that dying was the best thing he could do right now. He die in a final battle, leave any loose ends he hadn't tied up and... see Mia again.

As he fell, Max drifited into a state of what seemed to be sleep, an iternal sleep.

***

"Max... Max is that you?" Came a sweet soft voice. Max Dillon opend his eyes, he was suerrouned by a green mist, seeming to lead no where. He was alone except for one figure.

"Mia?" Said Max in astonishment "You're alive? Oh baby I'm so glad to se..."

"No Max I'm not. You're dead" Max was taken aback.

"I'm... I'm dead? You mean after all those great years as Electro, the puny Human Torch killed me?"

"Great years? You mean all this time of thinking about giving up that mad man for me, after your death you just went oh well and got on with it?"

"No baby of course not. Didn't you see I wanted us to get on that plane back in Boston so I could get rid of Electro, and spend the rest of my life with you. The woman I loved"

"And you thought it was that simple? That I could just let go of everything I hold dear to me and run off with you?" Max couldnt believe what he heard

"You... you don't love me?"

"Of course I do. But you can't just expect me to run off with you after not seeing you for 2 weeks. 2 weeks Max! And what were you doing during then? Breaking out some of the biggest super villains in the world!"

"For you baby. For you."

"Max... you don't understand do you? I wanted you to live an honest life with me. I didn't want to live off some blood money that has killed people. I didn't want to live with Electro. I wanted to live with Max Dillon."

Max decided it was time to let this part of the argument fade now.

"Well you have me now Mia, for all eternity I'm yours, no need to worry about Electro anymore."

"No Max, I don't want you here. After what you did, I'm not sure I can love you still, even in a place like this. I'm not letting you stay Max, you're going back. But I want you to forget about me."

"No baby I can't forget about you... never"

"Yes you can Max. Now I'm gone, Electro is all you have left. Max I want you to let Electro live he's all you have now. You consider this Bullseye to be someone close to you? Then you need Electro too. To remain friends with him. You two are two of a kind. A kind that I'm never going to understand. Goodbye Max"

Then the loud thump of a giants foot steps came close.

"Come Max Dillon, it is time for you to return to the earthly world." Thanos had entered the room.

"Thankyou Thanos"

"You understand Mia that this is only the once. Normally no one returns. But Max Dillon is a special case. I have needs for him"

"Yes Thanos I understand..."

***

The screwed up eyes of Max Dillon eventually opened, he was falling, falling towards the ground. PLUMP! A pillow truck? Now that seemed to be a little lucky. Rubbing his head, he looked up back at the human torch. No it wasn't lucky it had been there "Thankyou Mia" He whispered. Max had tryed to take the easy way out. Treid to get out of the mess and spend the rest of enternity with Mia. A slick smile came into the air as he rose back up. "Nice try kiddo" He said confidently. "But it's gonna take more than that to beat Electro!"

He shot out at Johnny, connecting with him making him scream in pain. It didn't seem to take the full effect it could do, but it still made Johnny fall for the ground.

OOC: Whew! Big post. Maybe Reed should save you. Not that I'm teird of the fight, but after that post it seems a little hard to go on. But it's your call I'm up for some more.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Once Johnny Storm had been sent flying down the elevator shaft, Bullseye had slipped away before things got really chaotic. He'd got out of that room, and went up the emergency stairway. Now, he had found his way back up to the roof.

He had witnessed Electro geting taken out by that attack from The Human Torch (God, he was glad he was outside when that happened!), but had also noticed that Electro had survived, and was making a comeback, keeping Storm more than busy.

Bullseye suddenly felt a wet, tingling sensation on his face. He wiped his face, and noticed his gloved hand was covered in blood. He was having a nose-bleed.

"Aw crap, what now?"

Bullseye held his nose as the blood began oozing out. Was this another dirty trick this bastard tumour was pulling on him? Spontaneous nose bleeds? Oh, that was just great. As if the headaches weren't bad enough. Bullseye had to face it, his body was beginning to break down. piece by piece. Any vendettas he had, he was going to have to settle them quick.

Speaking of vendettas, where the hell was Spider-Man?

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Is Fury still around? I have to bunny him a bit, but nothing too big.

IC:

The darkness in my eyes fade and light appears. Great white light. Is that heaven? No, I look around and it's only a hospital room.

I'm strapped in and somehow I can't get out. They must have been prepared for me. My weapons are just a few feet away from me, as though they were taunting me. I use every ounce of strength I have to get myself out and it still won't budge.

"Easy big boy. You're not ready to join the party yet."

A guy--look like some sort of Fed--and guards invade the room.

"Welcome, Blade," the Fed says, "you probably don't know where you are, but we are in need of your...special abilities. But, I'll let the main man tell it for you." The Fed turns away and manipulates a wall to become a large screen. The Fed pulls out a small CD and places it in a slot. In seconds, an older man with an eye-patch is encased on the screen. He starts to speak.

"Greetings, Blade. If you don't reconize me, then, my boys are doing their job, you're not supposed to. At least, until now. I'm Col. Nick Fury of the SHIELD program. As one of my boys probably told you already, we're in need of your unique talents.

"A few months ago, a man started his progress in the US government, starting as a secretary for the Secretary of the State in the White House. He made his way to a personal assistent. We now know that the man got in with a false idententy and us, being even higher than the government, discovered his real idenity: Deacon Frost. I believe you met him. He's apparently taking out individual members of the political parties in Washington, turning them into vampires, creating his own vampire army.

"While my boys are the best in the espianoge business, we're a bit out of our league here. We need you to help us take Frost out. You will lead your own team and show them the ropes of your vampire hunting abilities, and you will use them to take down Frost.

"Frankly, your country, the world, and, well, your ass depends on this. I wish I could have told you this personally, but in a few moments I'm on a helecopter to New York to help an old friend of mine. Stay alive long enough and I'll welcome you personally."

The screen goes black and turns back into a wall. The mini CD comes out and the Fed--now the SHIELD Agent--looks to me.

"So what do you say?" I think for a moment.

"I don't have a choice, do I?"

"Honestly? No. If you refuse, then we'll be forced to use hypnosis and make you follow our orders ourselves, but we really don't want to do that."

"...Alright. I really don't want to know what hypnosis is like. So when do I start?"

"Well, first we need to show you your team, but first, let me be the first to say it: Welcome to SHIELD...Agent Blade."
