The "Ultimate Marvel" RPG Seasson II Game Thread

[Byrd Man]

"Keep up it up, boy, you'll find out what a spit roast feels like"

A little bit of whats left of Logan surfaces in my mind, it feels so familiar to be pissed at this guy, but in a jesting kind of way...like buddies.

Weird.

Something flashes across Cap's face, maybe a memory, I don't know.

"The profs 'specting you, follow me."

I turn and lead him to the elevator.

The way see threatens me scares the crap out of me. It reminds me of Lucky Jim. I follow her to some strange elevator and as we get in I ask her a question.

"Excuse me, Missy. Did you have a grandfather named Jim Howlett?"

If Jim is alive, he has to be atleast eighty by now.

 

[Cyrusbales]

HAMMERHEAD

I knock on the apartment door, Herman answers.

"Hey, what you here for today?"

I manage a smile of anticipation.

"I'm not here to see Herman today, I'm here to see Shocker."

He instantly becomes filled with joy and walks back into his apartment and into his room. Shortly after, he comes out, with his full outfit on, he always was over the top, but I guess firing sonic pulses out of gauntlets does that to a man.

"Let's go, it's been too long!"

HAMMERHEAD

I stroll into one of the back alleys of this disgusting town. Here is Gean Williams, they say he pimps out dames, not much of a gentleman. I walk upto him, he looks confused as to why I'm here.

"You OK fool? You don't be coming up to me like that, ya'll be trippin'"

I reach into the bag I have and drop Arnie Fisher's head at his feet, it's nicely burnt up and the flesh hangs off of it perfectly.

"W..w...w..w....what you want from me?"

I see him reaching for his gun, he knows what we want, he just is stalling. I rips out the gun and points it dead in my face. Cue Shocker.

An almighty sound of bricks crashing floods the alley. Behind the rubble stand Herman, Gean is on the floor, crying because he knows what's next.

"Your turn kid"

I still see Herman's smile from underneath his mask.

"With pleasure"

Minutes later, we walk back down the street, heading for the 'bruiser' of Kingpin's protection racket, now this should be fun.

"Matt Johnson's next, they think this guy's tough?"

"They aint seen nothing yet"

 

[Noon]

The way see threatens me scares the crap out of me. It reminds me of Lucky Jim. I follow her to some strange elevator and as we get in I ask her a question.

"Excuse me, Missy. Did you have a grandfather named Jim Howlett?"


If Jim is alive, he has to be atleast eighty by now.

"What? No, what the hell kind of question is that?"

Wait...Howlett? Why does that sound familiar?

I press the floor button and the sound of whirring gears starts as we begin to descend.

There is an extended silence in the elevator, I turn and give him a quizzical look. This guy looks like he got in a fight with the flag and lost.

"Soo, working for the government....hows that workin out for you?"

"Soo, working for the government....hows that workin out for you?"

I shrug my shoulders.

"Could be worse. I could be in my eighties, lying in a nursing home calling some fat Puerto Rican woman "Mommy.""

With a hiss the elevator door opens.

"After you, young lady."

 

[Noon]

I shrug my shoulders.

"Could be worse. I could be in my eighties, lying in a nursing home calling some fat Puerto Rican woman "Mommy.""

With a hiss the elevator door opens.

"After you, young lady."

Oh thank god! Longest elevator ride of my life!

"Right this way, blue boy"

Walking through the sterile hallways still gives me a shiver, but I suppress it and walk on.

I see the professor coming up the hall towards us.

"One boyscout, Prof, as ordered." I add in a stage whisper "But I think he's a little overcooked"

"That is fine Alison, you can go" He gives me a stern look, but I just shrug it off.

"Is Warren about, I wanted to um...talk with him"

The professor's expression makes me go cold.

"Ah, Alison. I'm afraid there was an...incident on the mission. We have had to restrain him in the med lab. I think it would be a good idea if you didn't..."

"What the hell! What did you do to him! F**k! I knew he shouldn't have gone!"

I don't wait for an answer and set off running in the direction the Professor came from, leaving a cross looking Professor behind with Cap.

I slow as I come to the med lab doors. They open automatically with a swish, revealing a severely restrained Warren.

"Oh my god, War?"

 

[Venom160]

Oh thank god! Longest elevator ride of my life!

I slow as I come to the med lab doors. They open automatically with a swish, revealing a severely restrained Warren.

"Oh my god, War?"

[Angel]

I stare up at the ceilling as the Professor leaves the Medlab only to have the door open again.

"Oh my god, War?"

I try and look over to the door but the head restaint stop me.

"Hey Ali."

 

[Byrd Man]

Oh thank god! Longest elevator ride of my life!

"Right this way, blue boy"

I slow as I come to the med lab doors. They open automatically with a swish, revealing a severely restrained Warren.

"Oh my god, War?"

That scary broad leaves, leaving me alone with Xavier.

"Captain America, I beleive Mister Dillion is in the adjoining room."

He rolls into a room where Electro is laying on the table, passed out from a sedative. Hatred overwhelms me when I see his prone body.

"Whatever your planning, Steve. Don't act on it."

"I'll remember that, Dr. Phil."

I sling Electro over my shoulder and make my way through the elevator and out the front door.

"Okay people, Let's move."

The Triskelion:
Base of the New York
Branch of The Superhuman
Defense Initive

The chopper lands at the Triskelion and I'm greeted by Nick.

"Good job, soldier boy. We'll take it from here."

The medical team takes Electro and rush off with him.

"He'll be right at home in Banner's old cell. Cap, As of right now your off watch, Get some rest oh captain my captain."

I unstrap my helmet and nod, I guess it's back to laying in the apartment, reading the history books.

 

[Noon]

[Angel]

I stare up at the ceilling as the Professor leaves the Medlab only to have the door open again.

"Oh my god, War?"

I try and look over to the door but the head restaint stop me.

"Hey Ali."

"God damn that Xavier, what the f**k does he think he's doing"

I rant as I rush over to him and start to undo the straps.

 

[Venom160]

"God damn that Xavier, what the f**k does he think he's doing"

I rant as I rush over to him and start to undo the straps.

[Angel]

I tense up as Ali starts to undo the arm straps.

"Ali don't."

 

[Watchman]

My mouth literally drops at the sight of all that money, The most I was ever paid for a job was three quarters of a mil.

"So tell me, Mr. Larson. Who do I have to kill?"

"Kill? Oh you will be killing lots of people, Ultimates mostly, but none right now. There is still too much planning to do. All I need right now is a simple yes or no."

 

[Noon]

[Angel]

I tense up as Ali starts to undo the arm straps.

"Ali don't."

"You can't be serious? You're just gonna let them tie you up like an animal?"

I can feel the anger in me growing. I'm not sure if I'm angry for Warren, or angry for myself.

 

[Byrd Man]

"Kill? Oh you will be killing lots of people, Ultimates mostly, but none right now. There is still too much planning to do. All I need right now is a simple yes or no."

At the mention of the Ultimates, My ears perk up.

"I'm in, I'm definatley in. I just ask one favor of you. Hawkeye is mine."

 

[Venom160]

"You can't be serious? You're just gonna let them tie you up like an animal?"

I can feel the anger in me growing. I'm not sure if I'm angry for Warren, or angry for myself.

[Angel]

"You can't be serious? You're just gonna let them tie you up like an animal?"

"Well at this moment I kinda feel like one! I mean look what ArchAngel made me do to Electro! I almost beat the guy to death!"

 

[Noon]

[Angel]

"You can't be serious? You're just gonna let them tie you up like an animal?"

"Well at this moment I kinda feel like one! I mean look what ArchAngel made me do to Electro! I almost beat the guy to death!"

I take a deep breath and suppress my anger.

"Look, I don't know what happened out there, but I'm not afraid of you. I'll never be afraid of you. I love you"

I stroke his cheek gently.

"You don't need to be tied up."

 

[Venom160]

I take a deep breath and suppress my anger.

"Look, I don't know what happened out there, but I'm not afraid of you. I'll never be afraid of you. I love you"

I stroke his cheek gently.

"You don't need to be tied up."

[Angel]

I close my eyes for a second, praying im not making a mistake, I open my eyes again and look up at Ali.

"O.......ok."

 

[Noon]

IC: Elektra

I stand in the shadows of a lush office, the hulking figure of the Kingpin of crime reclining in front of his desk, a slim cigar gently billowing smoke into the room.

"Mr Fisk, I do hope you have a good reason for calling me here at this hour? A girl needs her beauty sleep"

"I wanted to welcome you back to the fold, my dear, and I wanted to warn you"

"Warn me? Is that a threat, Mr Fisk?"

"On the contrary, I thought you would like to know, many of my operatives have been targeted recently. I believe they are working their way up to me, in some foolish assassination spree. You know you are an important part of my organization, Elektra. You are most certainly on their list."

"Don't worry about me Mr Fisk, I can take care of myself."

"Good, I wouldn't want to lose my best assassin"

"Will that be all?"

"No, of course, I want you to take care of these upstarts before they get any further. I do have a business to run here."

"Of course, Mr Fisk."

And with that, I slipped into the darkness and disappeared. The Kingpin sat in silence, watching the curls of smoke weave in the air.

 

[Noon]

[Angel]

I close my eyes for a second, praying im not making a mistake, I open my eyes again and look up at Ali.

"O.......ok."

Gently I unstrap the restraints and take his hands, pulling him up into a sitting position.

"See, every thing's fine" I smile and lean in to kiss him.

 

[Venom160]

Gently I unstrap the restraints and take his hands, pulling him up into a sitting position.

"See, every thing's fine" I smile and lean in to kiss him.

[Angel]

As our lips connect I feel instantly invigorated.

"Wow."

I open my eyes and smile at her.

"Anything good happen while I was out?"

 

[Noon]

[Angel]

As our lips connect I feel instantly invigorated.

"Wow."

I open my eyes and smile at her.

"Anything good happen while I was out?"

"Not really, some Godfather reject came round looking for the prof, and Captain America came to pick up our friend Sparky."

"In other words, you didn't miss much. What do you think about getting out of here for a while?"

 

[Venom160]

"Not really, some Godfather reject came round looking for the prof, and Captain America came to pick up our friend Sparky."

"In other words, you didn't miss much. What do you think about getting out of here for a while?"

[Angel]

I smile and raise an eyebrow.

"Race ya to the nearest window."

 

[Noon]

[Angel]

I smile and raise an eyebrow.

"Race ya to the nearest window."

I grin, and raise an eyebrow.

"Oh, is that a challenge?"

IC Flint Marko: The Sandman
Season II - Prologue

In a large room, deep within the Triskelion, a strange cell had been constucted. Each of its four walls were ten feet tall and ten feet long. They were made of a revolutionary new type of plexiglass, as were the cell's ceiling and floor. It's developers claimed they were indestructible. Those claims were about to be put to the test.

Lining the walls of the square cell were eight SHEILD agents. Each was carrying a large jar of sand and an odd-looking silver gun. They were attired in full battle armor. Each jar had a label that read: FLINT MARKO.

Outside of the cell, scientists were swarming. Each ran from one bank of computers to the next, peering at screens and checking readouts. In the center of all this sat a man with an eyepatch. This was General Nick Fury. As he finished speaking with one of the scientists, he turned on his lapel mic. His voiced boomed out of the speakers within the tiny cell.

"Okay guys, we are go. Nice and easy now..."

At this command, the SHEILD agents within the cell unscrewed the lids of the jars and poured their contents on the floor. They then set down the empty jars and trained their guns on the large pile of sand that had just ammassed in the center of the cell.

For a full minute no one in the large room spoke, or blinked. The anticipation was palpable. As the wait stretched on to encompass a second and third minute, General Fury turned to the scientist next to him.

"This isn't right." He began. "Have your team run some more tests. Someone somewhere must have made a mist--"

Fury words fell back down his throat as the sand began to stir. First slowly, then faster, grains of sand began to arrange themselves in a cooperative fashion. Before long, the body of a man had risen out of this pile. He stood naked, head down, eyes closed. His skin was the color of sand, and grainy, with many small fractures running in every direction. His hair was bristley and stiff, and his brown was grossly enlarged.

Finally he raised his head and opened his eyes.

"Flint Marko!" Nick Fury called out. "Congratulations! You're about to make history!"

 

[Watchman]

At the mention of the Ultimates, My ears perk up.

"I'm in, I'm definatley in. I just ask one favor of you. Hawkeye is mine."

"Of course. I will be in touch Mr. Poindexter oh and before I leave here is your money" he hands him the briefcase. The man gives Bullseye a wave and steps into the darkness disappearing from sight.

 

[Venom160]

I grin, and raise an eyebrow.

"Oh, is that a challenge?"

[Angel]

"I believe it is but first we need to get out of the subbasement."

I walk over to the door so it'll open, I peak my head out it to see Captain America carrying Electro over his shoulder heading toward the elevator with the Professor right behind him.

"Follow me."

I make a right out of the Medlab and head toward the Danger room running my hand along the wall.

"Here it is."

I press a a part of the wall only for it to go alittle bit into the wall and slide up revealing a emergency elevator.

"Piotr showed me this when we were leaving the danger room. Professor Xavier added this after Weapon X invaded the mansion, it leads up into the library."

I step aside.

"After you m'lady."

 

[Byrd Man]

"Of course. I will be in touch Mr. Poindexter oh and before I leave here is your money" he hands him the briefcase. The man gives Bullseye a wave and steps into the darkness disappearing from sight.

The case feels heavy in my hands, I'm rich biatch!. I walk out into the New York night, I wonder what this Larkin guy exactly has planned, but any man who pays this well is a good friend of mine. I walk past strangers with a hitch in my step. I pull out my cellphone and check to see if Hammerhead called.

"Damn, old man. How slow are you?"
