The New and Improved "Heroes vs. Villains: Marvel" RPG

[Keyser Soze]

Bullseye was getting impatient. Was the money really worth all this bother?

"I don't think you understand me, Doc. Maybe that's a sign of your brain being cooked. Either you give me the antidote, or I hold in this trigger until I can just take it from you. And I won't kill you, Doc. I'll leave you alive, just. So it won't be hell you'll be rotting in. It'll be a nuthouse. Not nice places, trust me, I know. So unless you want to spend the rest of your life as a vegetable, with some hairy intern changing your diapers while you lie drooling in a padded cell, you'll give me that antidote....NOW!"

 

[The Joker]

Ock reached inside his coat pocket and took out the small vial.He removed the lid.Ock was quivering in pain.The fringe of his bowl cut was soaked with sweat.

"Turn it off now or I'll spill the entire contents of this" Ock snarled.His hand was shaking as it was."I'm feeling rather shaky as it is.Either way I drop this no matter what you do to me".Ock hung his head and his shades slipped off his sweaty face.

Ock looked back up at Bullseye."Your last chance.I will tolerate this pain no longer.Turn it off and it's yours.Refuse me and I spill your salvation down the drain".

 

[Keyser Soze]

Bullseye briefly considered his options. This was difficult. If The Doc went ahead and spilled the antidote, Bullseye would do what he had threatened, and fry the bastard's brain. Bullseye would be dead in a couple of days, while The Doc would be forced to live the rest of his life in obscurity, and without a functioning mind, which Bullseye was sure would be the only thing worse than death for him.

On the other hand, Bullseye wanted to live. This wasn't a matter of whether The Doc was bluffing or not. With the vial opened, the vial was going to get dropped whether The Doc intended to drop it or not, because of the electricity pulses pumping into his brain. So the only way Bullseye had any chance of survival was by switching off the trigger. The choice became clear.

"Once I turn this off, you ain't gonna recover right away. It'll be a minute or two before you can operate your tentacles again. As soon as I turn this off, you give me the antidote. If you try and screw me, I turn this back on and watch you soil yourself."

Bullseye flipped back the trigger, stopping the electronic pulses.

 

[The Joker]

"Ughhhh" Ock groaned.He fell sideways breathing heavily.He grabbed the vial lid and capped it back on.Ock staggered to his knees.Then onto his feet.He could feel his head throbbing less and less.He took a deep breath and leaned against the railing.

"Well Bullseye you just saved your life" Ock smirked."Wise decision.But first...".Ock gripped his shirt collar and tore off the small little gadget and dropped it to the ground and crushed it under his foot."A fascinating device.You must put me in contact with your supplier".

Suddenly Ock's tentacles began to twitch.His nerve pathways were stabilising again.The tentacles began to rise slowly.Bullseye took a step back.Ock shot out a tentacle and grabbed his shades which lay on the ground.He brought them to his face and placed them carefully back on.He then smiled at Bullseye.

"Well that was certainly a shock.You are a clever one.Despite your lunatic tendencies you are smart.And wasting intelligence is a crime even I will not commit".Ock placed the antidote vial in a tentacle claw and flexed it out to Bullseye.He stared at it with shock,surprise and a look of relief.He held out his hand and Ock dropped it in his palm.

"Hold on" Ock said.He took out a plastic syringe and handed it to Bullseye with a tentacle claw."Inject it into your neck.This virus attacks your brain.The antidote will take a quicker and greater effect if you inject it into the circulation of your neck".

 

[Keyser Soze]

Bullseye injected the antidote into his neck. He was cured. He let out a small laugh of relief.

"Thanks Doc. Now we're even. What's the plan of action now?"

 

[The Joker]

Ock walked over to his reactor and touched it with his hand."Plan of action? The same as it always was.Find those two simpletons and destroy them and drag their bodies back here where I will cremate them in the reactor".

Ock wiped his brow with the hankerchief and looked at Bullseye and smiled."Then we collect our payoff and drown this miserable city in a radiation bath".

 

[TheElderOne]

Blade jumped down from out of the air-shaft, landing in a crouched position to reduce any sound from giving his spot away. He sighed as he looked around, a light smile quickly replacing his expression as he crawled his way over to and behind a wall where he planted himself to hear what was going on between Bullseye and Otto now.

His sat there, pressed against the wall as he peaked around the corner threw the doorway leading to the room where Doc Ock and Bullseye stood, he had finally gotten a good look at Bullseye's face. Oh boy he was in for it now.. He'll know his every step from that forward. He took in deep breaths as he waited for Daredevil and Doom to show up, his machete at his side since it did'nt fit in his sword's sheath.

He began thinking of a substitute for his shades, he'd already lost his other two pairs. Then it hit him - The Doc's shades were gonna be his, one way or the other. He smirked and began looking around for places to plant the nitrogen, but still he decided not to move and rather wait for Daredevil's comformation.

 

[Silver Sable]

*Iceman slides in next to everyone*
"Hey guys, what is it with these creepy alien monsters? And why does wolverine looked so ticked off?"

"Because Logan is getting too pissed off by this freak!" said Psylocke to Iceman

"I have a better idea.I'm gonna try to distract Carnage while you guys get Wolverine away from him"

OCC:It's not the type of distraction you think

 

[kang604]

Doom was disgusted. Having to cooperate with the "hero" types was bad enough, but the devil in the red dress and a vampire slayer? It was insulting to his pride.

Doom quickly plotted out his next move. The most important thing to do was to stop that maniacal bowl-cut lunatic from drowning New York in radiation...

"... that, I cannot stand for..." Doom muttered to himself. He watched as Blade slowly crept to the doorway that led to the Octopus... and got impatient. These idiots were wasting time.

" Move aside, Blade. It's time for Doom to put this nonsense to rest. " With that, Doom stepped into the reactor, arms folded in front of him, cape flowing restlessly behind.

" Doctor Octavius. I have a bone to pick with you "...

 

[The Joker]

Doc Ock turned around casually."Here already Dr Doom? Excellent.Like I told your two misfit friends I am not adversed to some company.And I seem to be getting alot of it this evening".Bullseye stepped forward rather sharpishly as if getting ready to make a move but Ock halted him back with a tentacle."Easy my friend.This is not unexpected".

Ock grinned and lit a cigar with a tentacle and continued to casually chat."It must not surprise you that I knew you were here.Every room in this plant is fitted with a secret CCTV camera.I worked here for several years before my little accident.I know every crevice of this power plant.I have one of my men monitoring the cameras.He has been reporting every little detail to me".

Ock looked at Doom studiously."So I take it you have some objections to my present course of action.Please do tell.From one Doctor to another".

 

[kang604]

Doom was infuriated. How dare Octavius speak to Doom as if he were somehow below him? Rage built up inside him, but he knew had to keep his cool. Octavius was no chump... there was a reason why he was widely considered one of the foremost scientists in the world. Any sign of weakness would be easily picked upon and exploited. This was a battle that would have to be won with Doom's greatest power: his intelligence.

" Although cute and almost admirable in the eyes of one villain to another, your little hostile takeover of this facility has thrown a considerable kink in my plans. You may or may not have been aware, but I have, in all sense of the words, taken the world hostage. Seattle has already been leveled to the ground, and almost every major city on this planet, including this one, has been outfitted with a chemical spore that when triggered, will release a viciously deadly airborne virus. As you may have already guessed, your plans to shower the city in radiation does not sit well with my current course of action.

I have the United Nations eating from the palm of my hand, and although one part of me is seriously contemplating frying you and your pathetic little henchmen here, perhaps an agreement can be made... as you say...

from one doctor to another."

 

[The Joker]

Doc Ock tossed his cigar away."My haven't you been a busy little bee.The whole world yours you say.And yet here you are negotiating for New York with me".Ock smiled mockingly."Now theres just something wrong with that picture my dear Doom.And I intend to find out what".

Doc Ock took a few steps closer to Doom."My dear fellow Doctor Octopus cannot be pushed around.I have planned this for months.And it is finally coming together.The city council has agreed my hefty ransom.I have finally destroyed Spider-Man,and after I collect my payment I get the ultimate revenge by drowning this miserable city,the city who shunned and mocked me,in a radiation bath".

Ock smiled smiled at Doom."Now what could you possibly offer me that would make me abandon those plans?"

 

[kang604]

Rage swept over Doom like never before. He looked down upon the short, stubby figure now glaring at him with almost mocking intensity. Ock was actually grinning at him. Smiling in the face of Dr. Victor Von Doom, teasing him... toying with him. Yet it was not the fact that Octavius dared to insult Doom that got under his skin the most...

... it was that it was working.

Doom let out a small chuckle and began slowly pacing the floor. " It is rare to find an intellect that is even comparable to that of my own, for that I must commend you Octavius. Your efforts here and your accomplishments today are worthy of Doom's respect.

But let's hypothesize for a moment, shall we? You can get your money, and destroy this city that has, like you said, mocked and shunned you for so long. Spider-Man is dead... what next? Architect another diabolical scheme to amass more wealth? For what purpose would it serve? Do you intend to travel the globe, destroying city after city until there is nothing left? As a scientist, you can appreciate that this serves no purpose.

You and I are more similar than you would think Doctor. We are not your average "super-villains", as the media so puts it. These street thugs, these reckless maniacal killers than run the streets, like this pathetic excuse for a human being here (points at Bullseye).... we are not like them. We are men of ambition and achievement... we deserve more.

Doom took a step closer towards Ock, towering over him, light gleaming off his armor. " My control over this planet is inevitable. Many have attempted to quote unquote "rule the world"... but Doom is the only one capable of doing so. I have the resources. I have the power. I have the will.

When that time comes, where will you stand? On top of the ruins of New York City, amongst the dead corpses that you so laid to waste... or as the undisputed ruler of the city that once looked at you with hatred and disgust, but now looks at you with fear and admiration? The choice is yours Doctor, but think logically... I WILL be victorious in this effort...

whether you choose to be victorious with me or not, I leave to you."

 

[twylight]

"Because Logan is getting too pissed off by this freak!" said Psylocke to Iceman

"I have a better idea.I'm gonna try to distract Carnage while you guys get Wolverine away from him"

OCC:It's not the type of distraction you think

((OOC: Sil, It's Venom that Wolverine was going after. Carnage has Gambit. and Rogue is holding (?) Wolverine down as good as she can...though..he might break free *hint hint*.
And please, none of 'those kind' of distractions in front of Gambit. ))

 

[The Joker]

Doc Ock stood on two tentacles and walked towards the reactor.He touched it with his hand.He could feel the vibrations inside.He closed his eyes and embraced it.Radiation had been and still was a major part of his life.He turned and faced Doom.

"I commend you too my dear Doctor.Your aspirations are admirable,as is your ambitions.Great men strive to achieve.But how many of them are successful?.Not many.This country is run by fools who think they are better than us.You say you will be victorious.I wish you every success" Ock said as he removed his shades and pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger.

"I MUST succeed.I am Otto Octavius.A great scientist.A great man.With the wealth I am about to acquire I can continue my great scientific work.I can prove to the world that I am a genius.New York shunned me,mocked me.Labelled me a criminal and a mad man.Genius has always been reviled by the ignorant.Well now the ignorant will die.Die in my very own radiation bath!!!!" Ock shouted as he slammed the reactor with a tentacle in fury.

Doc Ock placed his shades back on and looked at Doom.It was a look of regret."I decline your offer Dr Doom.Otto Octavius serves nobody.This victory is mine.It has been a long time coming"

 

[kang604]

Doom unfolded his arms and stood for a second, pondering. The time for negotiations was over.

".....that, my friend.....

...was the wrong answer " he said, as he lunged towards Octavius with a metallic fist raised in the air.

 

[MST3K 4ever]

Daredevil listened to the banter between Doom & Octavius. He shook his head Oh I wish Peter could be here for this...Doom & Ock...they might finish each other off...this could be fun to watch but first thing is first.

He locked in on Bullseye and shot this billyclub cord around his neck and pulled him up to the airshaft and let him dangle by his neck. He stared at Bullseye and said, "Didn't I tell you paybacks were hell? I can hear some of the antidote in the vial it'll be enough to keep me alive...I may feel like hell for a while but I'll be feeling more than you will if you don't give me the vial...place it in my hand and I will merely drop you to the ground...if you don't I guesstimate you got about 10 seconds before you begin to experience blacking-out...and then I'll just take it from you...drop it on the ground and I'll let you hang here like a peice of meat until I hear your heart stop beating. Like I said I got nothing else to live for...what's it going to be the vial or choking to death? Your choice either case your life is in my hands." And with that Daredevil pulls even tighter on the cord.

 

[The Joker]

Doc Ock moved back swiftly on two tentacles."Stupid move Doom.And I credited you as a man of intelligence.Oh well you can't be right all the time" Ock sneered.

"Now I suggest you pay careful attention.This reactor has been fitted with a series of explosives.They are triggered by two methods.Firstly if anyone,anyone tries to remove them.They have a proximity detector.Secondly is the triggering device which I have wired into my tentacles" Ock smiled as he snapped a tentacle claw.

"Now all I need do is trigger it with a mere thought.As you know my tentacles are locked into my central nervous system.Any harm comes to me and all I need to is THINK the command and that reactor blows drowning you my dear Doom and all of this miserable city in radiation" Ock laughed.

"And so here is your choice.Leave now and don't even attempt to interfere with me again.Or just try another stupid move like you just did and die in a radiation bath.And yes I am aware that I will perish too.But the ends justifies the means Doom.I'll still have my revenge.Even if it costs me my life" Ock said.

He then grinned slowly."And taking the great Dr Doom with me.Now theres an accomplishment.Spider-Man and Dr Doom.Not a bad days work" Ock laughed fiendishly.

"So whats it to be Doom? Your call" Ock said.

 

[kang604]

OOC: grrrrrr doc ock is kicking my ass lol

Doom was astounded. Never had he been matched so evenly with another, save for perhaps Richards. Under any other circumstances, he would have been taken aback with respect.

But this was not one of those circumstances, and Doom's patience was wearing thin.

He sneered at Ock. " Please. These threats are meaningless. You expect Doom to believe that you would kill yourself? You said it yourself, you MUST succeed. How can you succeed... if you're dead? So, Octavius, I call your bluff."

Doom's mind was racing. He had to buy time... and although he hated the idea of relying on any other but himself... he hoped to high heaven that Daredevil and Blade had a plan to thwart Octavius.

"....Besides, how can I possibly take you seriously... you, the man who couldn't even kill Spider-Man, a pathetic insect, yourself? You, who had to hire a low life thug to succeed where you so completely and utterly FAILED. You, a man of such intellligence, but is forced to hide underground like a filthy rodent. Don't give yourself so much credit Octavius. Doom sits on a throne atop his own country, and soon the world. The oppurtunity to sit with me still stands... but be warned, failure to comply will result in me squashing the man who couldn't even outsmart the idiot wallcrawler. " Doom laughed nervously, hoping to god Daredevil would arrive soon....

 

[kang604]

OOC: gotta head out for the nite, but this isnt over Octopus lol

 

[The Joker]

Doc Ock smiled."My dear Doom I already have won.Spider-Man is dead.Maybe not by my hands but by my orders,by my plan,by my instructions.That my friend is a victory not a failure".

Doc Ock lowered himself onto the ground."One thing you should know Doom is that nothing I say is meaningless.NOTHING!!!".

Ock grinned again."Very well Doom.I'm not a man who is used to repeating himself.If you refuse to leave of your own free will then you can leave in a flood of radiation".

Ock looked at his reactor and his tentacles flexed out.Ock looked back at Doom."Last chance to flee back to your little throne.Or stay and die in a flood of radiation.MY radiation.The energy of the atom.True I do not wish to die but if I must go down then I will go in a blaze of glory.The destruction of New York by radiation.The ultimate revenge of Doctor Octopus".

"Don't try to understand an intellect like mine.In my mind lives the secret of the atom.The power to reshape the world.When you ponder my mind you stare into the sun.Do you understand Doom? And in its atomic fire you will BURN!!!!!"

 

[twylight]

"Iceman, you go help Wolverine while me and Rogue help Gambit"

 

[Doc Destruction]

OOC - Wolverine's face got blasted off, that's why the freak out.

Logan breathes deeply and looks up at Rogue.

"Anna?"

 

[PFunk2]

OOC: Sorry about the late response but I had to do some work on my computer. Still could someone tell me. The guy who's playing Photon what happend after my last action? So I know when I can jump back in,
