The "Heroes Vs Villains" Marvel RPG - Season IV

[Spider-Man9X17]

Doom would never be free of the Fantastic Four. That was punishment enough.

Still, Johnny had called Victor out, and he wasn't going to walk away now. He tossed the faceplate aside, and smiled.

"We'll never be rid of you Victor. But you know what? You'll never be rid of us, either. And it haunts you in the night. It keeps you awake. Me, it burns me up, no pun intended, to know your out there, but I can deal, you can't. You're pitiful, you're worthless, and I don't need to be wasting my time with you anymore, because you're already in a Hell of your own making, and there's no escape. And right now, my friends need me, the world needs me. So, if you'll excuse me..."

Johnny flamed on and ascended into the air. He gave on final glance toward Victor, and offered him the one finger salute before jetting off toward Hydro Base.

"OK, people, I don't to tell you why your here. You all know what's happened, and what lies before us. Right now, we need a solid plan of attack. Make no question, this will be our last chance, so if anybody has any suggestions as to how we should execute this, I'm all ears."

Johnny walked in behind Clint.

"We hit him fast, hit him hard, and don't stop until he's gone or we're dead."

 

[The Question]

The Fantasti-Car sat down at Hydro Base.



"As big a pain in the ass as Ultron is, we're gonna have to put that on the backburner. If i had a nickel for everytime he declared war on humanity, or us, or the world.....nevermind....The Avengers will handle Ultron. Right now we have to worry about getting Thanos off of our planet."



Hawkeye entered the base and walked down to the War Room. From the sound of it, some of the heroes had already arrived. As he went to open the door, someone grabbed him on the shoulder.



"Wanda!" he gasped as he turned around. He grabbed his fiance and pulled her close.



"We have quite an army in there baby....is it going to be enough?"



"It's going to be plenty. We've stopped Thanos before. He just....got us off guard this time. It'll be over soon though I promise."



Hawkeye let Wanda go and turned to enter the room before pausing again.



"Wanda, where are the kids?"



Wanda hesitated and looked away, biting her bottom lip.



"Daddy has them."



"Jeezus Chr......"



"He's on our side right now Clint. He won't hurt them, and it's the safest place for them. It's the last place anybody would think to look. Please, deep, deep down, there still may be some spark of the man he was..."



"He kidnapped and...." Hawkeye paused. "No, we can't do this now. Unless we stop Thanos, it doesn't matter where anybody is at, because we're all as good as dead."



He finally opened the dorr and entered the War Room. It was filled to standing room with heroes.



"OK, people, I don't to tell you why your here. You all know what's happened, and what lies before us. Right now, we need a solid plan of attack. Make no question, this will be our last chance, so if anybody has any suggestions as to how we should execute this, I'm all ears."

"We hit him fast, hit him hard, and don't stop until he's gone or we're dead."

Cap stands and adresses the others.

"What we need is to contact the defense department and S.H.E.I.L.D. The very last thing we need right now is us and the military tripping over each other's feet."

"I'll go you one better on that. We need to put S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military on the Ultron situation. It won't stop him, but it will delay him until we can put all our focus on his little 'war'. Try to find a reserve or two who can lend a hand until then."

 

[The Question]

"Good idea. But that's still our iddy biddy army against Thanos' invasion force. We need serious backup. I think the Fantastic Four, along with Hank and Tony, should eal with Ultron, with backup from S.H.E.I.L.D. The rest of us should go after Thanos. There should be two assaults. Ground troops and a squad of flyers. I can lead people on the ground, and you can lead the airial assault, Clint."

Ground troops and a squad of flyers. I can lead people on the ground, and you can lead the airial assault, Clint."

"I want the FF with us. They have the most experience out of anyone in this room with cosmic and extradimensional threats, bar none. Throw Deadpool and Syrin in with the Ultron assualt, because no matter what Ultron throws at that crazy motherf*****, Wade's just gonna keep on comin'. I want every Quinjet we can find ready in 20 minutes. Johnny, Carol, Falcon, Thor, Simon, Sentry, and Firestar, your our Flyer unit. Reed and Sue, I want you on the ground with anything you can find in the Baxter Building that would be helpful, and Ben piloting another jet. Cap, you chose whatever team you want, just leave me a few good pilots and crews for the remaining jets."

 

[The Question]

"I'd still like to have Reed on the Ultron front. Reed is one of the U.S.'s top scientists, and his brains will be much more usefull against Ultron than against Thanos."

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

"OK, send Reed. Add Wasp and Black Panther to that unit too. Wanda and Pietro, you'll be with me. And somebody find the X-Men. Tell them to bring every Blackbird they have available."

 

[The Question]

"I think Pietro would be of more use with the ground troops. You know, not a flyer."

 

[SuperFerret]

I raise my hand, hoping that they'll see me all the way in the back.

"What about me?"

OOC: I am there, right? I'm assuming since I'm near Deadpool, who is there with you, that I am too.

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Fine, but Wanda with me. We could use a little bit of magic up there, and maybe a miracle or two."

Wanda walked up behind Clint and slipped her hand into his. They had been through so much. They had joined the Avengers together. Clint had been smiiten with her from day one. Over time, he repressed that love, but learned to love her in another way; as a friend, a sister, a partner. They'd faced the biggest challenges of their live together, with the Avengers. She had overcome her own personal demons, and he had fought his way back from death, to end up together, finally. If Wanda could finally gain control of her powers, if Clint could forgive her for killing him, for turning the world upside down, if they could come through that and start a life together, then there was still hope for the Earth. They were still breathing, still standing, gathered here in this room for one common goal. Thanos was fighting for vanity, for power. They were fighting for pride, for love, for survival. They had nothing left to lose, and that made them more dangerous than anything Thanos could hope tp throw at them.

Hawkeye looked to Cap. He had lived to see Pearl Harbor, had fought in and survived that darkest days of World War II. He was taken from his own time, his own family, and thrown into an America that just didn't agree with him anymore. And yet, he fought on, found himself and reconciled with the country he loved.

Tony had survived and beaten alcoholism; Hank had overcome depression and schizophrenia; Peter lost his uncle and his first love, and put up with JJJ on a daily basis; Pietro had lost his wife, and in her death, Johnny had lost a best friend; Wade lived every day as the victim of genetic testing by governement agencies, as did Logan, yet both forged on; half the time the Sentry didn't even know who he was.

Every hero in the room had faced life changing adversities, most more than would do a mormal person for three lifetimes. It would have been so easy for any of them to lay down at any given point and give up, to throw in the towel and end the pain. But they didn't. They pushed foward, forged ahead, put their lives on the line every day. They fed off the glory, off the pain, off the suffering. The victories made every single struggle worth it. This struggle was no different.

They would not fall today. They would stand tall, stand together, and retake what was rightfully theirs. Today was their day.

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

I raise my hand, hoping that they'll see me all the way in the back.

"What about me?"

"Well, since we already have one crazy invulnerable b@$t@rd going after Ultron, how bout the other crazy invulnerable b@$t@rd go after Thanos."

 

[Toby_Temple]

"Well, since we already have one crazy invulnerable b@$t@rd going after Ultron, how bout the other crazy invulnerable b@$t@rd go after Thanos."

Death's Head interrupted Hawkeye from the comm link......

I would like to suggest something. Why not let Ultron and Thanos fight each other. Dealing with the two of them at once will cost us half of our forces for each. What we should do now is evacuate all civilians in major cities. Thanos would more likely initialize an attack on all major cities. Ultron has just declared war on the United States of America. If my theory is correct, Thanos would have to attack Ultron's forces as well. Yes?

 

[The Question]

"The problem is, both Thanos and Ultron would be fully willing to hurle atom bombs at each other in highly populated areas. Far more civillians would die in the crossfire between those two than our people would fighting each of them seperately."

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Cap's right. We can handle these two by ourselves. Besides, God only knows what kind of sick alliance they may end up naking if they get the chance to meet up. We're siding with no villians right now."

 

[Electro UK]

"Oh hell yes!" I cry gearing up. "It'll be like Rambo First Blood part 2, but with Robots, not Koreans! Siryn, hand me my explosive arrows!" Terry looks at me and shrugs. "Bazooka?"

"Dropped it in central park."

"M16 Carbine?"

"Last I saw of it was one of Thanos's guys snapping it in half."

"...grenades?"

"...you don't remember having to regenerate your legs in mid-battle?"

"...pistol?"

"What I am Wade? Yer gun keeper?"

"Well I thought you women did have some use, I was obviously wrong."

"We'll take the Fantasticar." Mr. Fantastic replies "We can stop off at the mansion and salvage some of your weapons on the way Wade."

"Alrighty, let's LOCK AN LOAD!"

 

[Batman]

(IC: Wolverine)

Just as the team finally settled in, The Blackbird's intercom came to life.

“All active Avenger members or solo heroes. This is IronMan. We are planning a counter attack against Thano’s and his forces. All those willing to help, proceed to our current location in the centre of the New York. I’m sending our coordinates. Iron Man out."

Wolverine looks at the intercom, dumbfounded.

"JESUS FLIPPIN' CHRIST!!! WE'RE BEIN' THROWN IN CIRCLES!!!", Wolverine shouted, angrily. At this point, He wanted to unsheath his claws, and tear something up. Badly.

"Calm down. We haven't proceeded that far from where the new coordinates are leading us. We'll be there in no time.", Cyclops stated, as the Jet flew downwards.

Wolverine crossed his arms.

"Alright. But if that rust bucket sends us an'ther set'a coordinates, I'm gettin' off this damned thing."

* * *

About thirty minutes later, The Blackbird touches down at the Avengers Hydrobase. Finally. As the engines died down, Wolverine looked over, seeing the Fantasti-car beside them.

"Oh. Goodie. We're in League with stretch, fireballs, and boxo'rocks. I feel much better."

"Logan, You know I don't say this often... But just kindly shut the hell up."

* * *

The X-Men headed into the base. Hearing voices coming from the war room, they entered. The assembled league of heroes looked at them, mid-conversation.

"What? Did'ya want us to bring drinks, too?"

 

[Red]

I wait for Deadpool to get to his punch line then cut in.

“I’ll lead the aerial assault Clint. My armor will be fully recharged within the hour. And the base still houses a few of my obsolete suits, I’ll need a few minutes to reprogram them but I should be able to make them automated to my commands.”

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Tony, Cap wants you to help lead the Ultron front. You wanna throw down with Thanos, you gotta talk to him."

 

[ElectroFlare]

Spider-man looked at the heroes around him. Such a force was a guerilla force, almost nothing but an annoyance to Thanos or Ultron.

And yet, they would fight. It was what humans did. Even when the odds were against them, they fought.

"Cap. You just point me in a direction and I'll go. I'd ask Hawk, but he'd point me towards the mini-bar." Spider-man said, making a fist.

"Let's show Thanos and Ultron what they're messing with."


With Storm gone, DOOM fell to his back. The boy's punches had hurt more then DOOM would let on. The dented armor had only added to Storm's fury.

Moving as quickly as he could, DOOM recovered his face plate, and put the grimacing cover back on.

"That fool will pay for his insolence." DOOM said as his DOOMbots arrived and carried him back to Latveria for him to recover and plan his next move.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

The figured stood and starred into the Orb as it showed all what transpired on the planet, Earth. It had been some time since he last set foot on the world, but it was still his homeworld. And he could not just sit by and watch as it got torn asunder by the threat of a being who knew almost as well as he knew himself.

Thanos.

The Titan, definitely living up to his moniker of "Mad", had gone too far this time in his invasion. But, as he had come to know about Thanos, the Titan was definitely well prepared. It would not be long before Thanos wiped out what resistance was left and win the day.
He had been watching the Titan from afar since the beginning. Studying his resources. Watching his strategies. It took him some time, but he finally found the Titan's Achilles heel.

The figure rose to his feet, the Orb going dark as he stood.
The time for the final attack was now. It was time for the figure to make his presence known and recruit the ever valiant heroes of Earth. They have aided him in the past, and, with their help, together they should be able to drive the Titan back.

The figure disappeared in a blink of light...

"Yes", said the figure as he suddenly appeared in the midst of the assembled heroes in a brilliant flash of light, "if we do not strike at the Titan now, we may not get another chance. It is time to end the threat Thanos poses to this planet once and for all."

"You have great timing, you know that?"

Hawkeye shook Warlock's hand as Rick Jones entered the room with two arm fulls of quivers, shafts, and arrow heads. Hawkeye strapped the weapons onto his body, still addressing the new arrival.

"I'm assuming your up to speed on the situation. So, if nobody objects, then it's time to move out boys and girls. This is gonna be one for the history books, so lets do it right."

 

[The Question]

"Tony, Cap wants you to help lead the Ultron front. You wanna throw down with Thanos, you gotta talk to him."

"You're scientific skills would be more usefull against Ultron than Thanos. Still, you could be usefull in the air assault."

"Adam. I apreciate the assistance. Cap, get on the phone with Washington. Tell them our plan and to send in as many troops as they can. This isn't something we're going to win by ourselves."

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Let Reed deal with the scientific mombo jumbo. Tony can lead the air assualt. Besides, I have an arrow or two I'd love to shove up that giant purple @$$."

Hawkeye turned and exited the room as the others began to file out. He switched on his commlink as he walked down the the Quinjet hanger.

"Hawkeye to Fury. We're making our move now. All available S.H.I.E.L.D. and military assisstance is requested ASAP. Mobilize three-quarters of all available units to New York, and the remaining forces to deal with Ultron."

The doors to the hangar whooshed open. Five Quinjets sat prepped inside, and he was told 6 more were ready back at the mansion.

"Ground troops on the first three jets. Air assualt on the remaining two. Meet the second squad at the mansion. We'll leave our jets on the ground once were deployed for you to use as well."

"Cap, I think we should each take a jet. That way, if something happens to one of us en route to Thanos, the other can still take up the charge."

 

[Johnny Blaze]

"Wait", shouted Adam as the heroes began to disperse.
"An assault as the one you plan to make will have little effect on the Titan or his forces."

Warlock waited until he held the assembled heroes' attention before proceeding, "Thanos' forces are too powerful and too numerous. To attack him head on would be to needlessly throw your life away and would accomplish nothing. You can kill thousands of his soldiers, and he would simply grow more in hours. No, to stop Thanos, you must take out the source of his power. Do that, and his armies will fall."
