The "Ultimate Marvel" RPG

[Venom160]

Most of the blades bounced right off, but a select few did manage to poke into weaker parts of the armor. Iron Man plucked them out as he again took to the air.

"Very good. I can see this is going to be more than an equal fight. So why don't we take it to an arena we're both a little more familiar with."

{ArchAngel}

"Fine by me!"

I open wings and fly after him.

 

[Venom160]

<Carnage>

Im actually making progress, I can see the entrance of the tunnel now, but I gues it'll still take me another hour to get to the surface. I see bright flashes and and hear people yelling so I quicken my pace, I just hope im not too late.

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

{ArchAngel}

"Fine by me!"

I open wings and fly after him.

Iron Man dodged the attack, coming up behind Archangel and firing his repulfor rays.

 

[Venom160]

Iron Man dodged the attack, coming up behind Archangel and firing his repulfor rays.

{ArchAngel}

The rays hit me in the back and slams me into the ground hard, I slowly stumble to my feet. I pull out a couple of feather darts and hold them like swords and take to the air again, some of the darts I fired before had hit weaker point of the armor and stuck so I'll just have to aim for those points.

 

[Noon]

"Ya know, your cute and all, but I have a girlfriend who I love very much, and is insanely jealous."

Spider-Man kicked the mutant off of him and sprung to his feet. He could tell his assailant was more than a little shocked at his strength.

"Yeah, you're tough, but I have the proportionate strength of a spider. For those of you who don't understand that, let me give you an example. I can stop a speeding subway train with a few strands of webbing and my bare hands. I could hold a city bus over my head for a good minute with just one arm. And, I can beat crazy octopus men and green monstery goblin guys at the same time while suffering from extreme chest pains....because I'm laughing....hysterically....because....well, you have to see these guys. It's a whole inside joke thing. And I have this neat little spider-sense thing that warns me when I'm in danger, so I know your going to attack right about....oh, now."

Spider-Man leapt as the mutant attacked again, webbing up her ankles in mid air and pulling her down to the ground.

"And does Wolverine know you stole his claws. Cause that dude is nuts, and I wouldn't wanna be caught with those things. Funny story though...I was caught in his body one day and....oh, you got outta your webbing. Cool, cause I was running outta things to talk about and just sorta babbling, which I hear gets really annoying to some people."

RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

I let out a feral roar and slash out at this infuriating creature. He dodges it as if he knew my next move. I see now, he has some kind of premonitionary power. I can work around that.

I slash out again, he dodges but as he sways out of the path of my claws I let out massive shards of hot light around his face, burning his skin and hair. I imagine that will scar.

He is dazed by the light and pain and I take this opertunity to lash out again with my claws, giving him several deep flesh wounds. Perhaps now his insesent chatter will stop.

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

"OK, that hurt."

Spider-Man sprung up at his foe. Dazzler had no time at all to move before she was driven to the ground. Two hard punches to the cut, he still didn't feel right about hitting girls in the face, were followed up by two globs of webbing in the eye. Spider-Man took a second to assess his wounds. They would heal quick, but the deeper ones may cause him some trouble until then.

"Freaking women, man. I'm tellin' ya..."

 

[Watchman]

Osborn watched over the fight as Parker fought with the girl. He would le her have her fun but soon he will confront Parker. His mind went back to SHIELD and how he escape.

"Osborn, Norman you people know him better as the Green Goblin" a guard standing in front of Osborn's holding cell said. "He must be carefully watched at all times he is extremely dangerous. You have your orders" he left leaving his four guards to watch Osborn. A days went by without anything happening until that faithful day of the explosion. One night an explosion rocked the holding cells killing and freeing many people. Osborn took to the streets while the guards try to contain the prisoners. It looked like the end of days and Osborn went to his place. Destroyed in what looked a massive attack he found what he was looking for, Oz. After that he found himself on the rooftop watching Parker battling the girl. He couldn't let his pressance be known yet but soon.

 

[Noon]

My eyes are covered my some gluey subtance that stings at them. In a panic I claw at my face, my fingernails leaving deep scratches. I get most of it off, at least so I can see again.

Spiderman is checking the deep gashes my claws have left in his flesh. His costume is in tatters. I am soaked in blood, his and from the others I had killed before. It should not be this hard to dispatch of one so small.

shink

Quietly my claws sheath back into my forearms. I hold my hands out in front of me in confusion. I did not do that.

I did...no more killing, I won't do this any more.

Shut up! I scream out loud. She is stronger, I don't know why now, perhaps in battle I let myself slip. She keeps talking, shouting, screaming out. I clutch at my blood matted hair, trying to make her stop.

 

[Logan Howlett]

Yur askin for it bub!

I sheeth my claws.

But this aint the time. Me an' you, we'll be playin hack & slash very soon, I promise.

So whats the plan, or do we even have one?

We need to evaluate Apocalypse, see if we can find a weakness of some sort.

Well aint that swell, we're gona wait around in here while the world around us dies! Sounds like a wonderfull plan Chuck!

Im not saying that I dont want to take action as soon as it is available, but we must take into consideration what we know, and what we dont. I was able to briefly eneter Apocalyps' mind until he was able to force me out. He treated me as nothing but a nuciance, to him I am but an insect. He has taken control over the mind of three of our X-Men, Allison, Warren, and Scott.

SCOTT AINT NO X-MAN! He ran out on us even before Apocalypse! I'll try and bring back Ali and War all ya want, but Scott gets in my way, and I make him into hat!

.......................While I disagree in the strongest amount, I understand. If I can save them all I will. I will bring them back, help them to come to terms with the things they have done.

All of a sudden Rogue starts to pipe up.

Wha........What did they do?

I wana jump right up and start yelin my head off. First for her darin to speak at all after the way that she left, second for even askin about the teammates she left behind, and third fer how much I missed the only kid that realy undertood me. But sudenly Im stoped by Charlie, go figure.

Their minds have been tainted by Apocalypse, they have been recruited as his...............horsmen I belive he called them. They are right now killing innocent civilians mutant and human alike, in the war ravaged streets of New York. If no one is met to opose them I fear the end of all humanity.

She gets real quiet, lowers her head and start to whisper somethin.

I...............I'm sorry.............................

She lifts her head and looks right at me.

I'm realy sorry.........................

With that she runs off into the fortress. DAMN! Now I feel sorry for her, but I wana be pissed.

Its alright let her go, she needs time to deal with her emotions. Now, in order to defeat Apocalypse we will need to use all of our strengths, our gifts, but they will not be enough. We will need more, an upper hand, an equalizer if you will.

That cube! Hank said it we could use it as anything from a Ipod to Nuke right? So................I think maybe that would be a good idea. He said Forge here would be able to make somethin to run it. So how bout it Squanto, can you take a look at the one thing that might save our lives, or you to busy with yur playstation?

Im look into his eyes, he's as pissed as I ever seen him. Proly cuz he had to fashion himself another doodad to reatach the leg I took off. Hehe, that was fun. They shoulda known better than to go attackin Xaviers place, they all lost almost as much blood as we did. I still dont know why we're trustin these guys, they all look like they wana kill us. I cant say the look is any different in my eyes when I glare at them. But right now I gota deal with em', that means that I gota trust this guy........to a point. The same guy who not a couple weeks ago threw a thermal grenade into chest. But now hes charged with savin my, and all of our asses! Sudddenly the guy starts to speak, wonder if hes pissed about the Squanto comment? Oh well, I belive he once called me a hocky playin peice of Canuk trash. I dont even play hockey!

..........................Sure.....hand it over.

The profesor hands the cube to him. I almost wana stop him, but I realize the position we're in.

Don't you go think this means I'm cool with you guys! The second this little truce is over I'm gona tear that hairy midget apart!....................and its not a playstation......its an X-box 360, playstations are way outdated, get with the times old man!

Good, now that we got the tech goin, what else can we use? You got any weapons in this heap?

We will need every advantage you can offer, please Eric, if you poses any means of stoping Apocalypse now is the optimum time to
reveal them.

 

[Logan Howlett]

These humans are giving my horsmen more trouble than I expected. I would have them join me, but their morality is a weakness I could not indure. They must die. Suddenly as I look about the ruble I see someone, an on looker crouching atop a building. Green skined and horned all over. An interesting apearence, and by no mean does it appear to be a sharade, such as they boy in the costume.

You there! Yes I see you, what is your name and what is your busness here!? Do you wish to fight Apocalypse and die as these other fools? SPEAK! What is your purpose?

 

[Watchman]

Osborn looked up at the giant. He calls himself Apocalypse he must have cause this. Osborn was not stupid and knew fighting him would be useless. But joining forces with would prove to be a great asset in destroying Parker and maybe even more.

"Lord Apocalypse I am Nor...." no he was not Norman Osborn anymore, "I am the GREEN GOBLIN" fire encircles him. "And it would be my pleasure in helping you destroy these pests that are upsetting your plans like they have done to me many times before".

 

[Logan Howlett]

I look upon this augmented creature. I see in him the vision that I have had for mankind's true evolution. He is pure power. Rage and hatred filled him, a purifieing coruption.

Your proposal is intesresting, no doubt, but as they say actions speak much louder than words! If you can eliminate this creature than consider yourself a part of a grand new future! I must know how one such as you was created. You are beaming with powerfull energies that I have seen only in me. Perhaps together we can spread that power to all of whom I command! Complet this task, and you will sit by me as a HORSMAN OF APOCALYPSE! And you shall be reborn, and made even more powerfull than your current incarnation! GO BRING ME HIS HEAD!

 

[Venom160]

<Carnage>

Im exhasted by the time I reach the surface again. Thats when I saw the fight going on, Pete against the chick with claws, Iron Man fighting the twisted big bird, and Apocalypse striking a deal with Norman Osborn of all people.

"Oh this is just fricken great."

I still weak from the butt kicking I got from Apocalypse so I hide behind a large piece of rubble and catch me breath. Hopfully I'll be able to catch them off guard and stop Osbourn and the crazy chick from teaming up on Pete.

 

[Watchman]

"As you wish" the Goblin states and cringes when he says that. Fire circles around him and he leaps toward where Dazzler and Spider-Man are fighting.

He lands right inbetween them and glares and Spider-Man. "Parkkerr Long time no see"

 

[Logan Howlett]

There is no time for delay! KILL HIM! Death, assist him, destroy this insulant, pathetic creature!

This.....Parker, as he called him, has proven to be more trouble than I anticipated. He has shown my horsmen more defiance than any other they have slaughtered. He reminds me strangly of someone I have met before.......in the future, in an alternate timeline. The symbiot creature that came to me, so desperate, so pathetic, yet so powerfull. He does not seem to poses the symbiot here, perhaps I have enterupted this timeline before he could get hold of it, or perhaps he managed to rid himself of it. Either way, it could still exsist, and could prove extremly usefull if found. We will see.

 

[Noon]

She struggles in my mind, pushing against my control. I am Death, you cannot defy me. These last shreds of pitiful humanity must be eradicated.

SNICKT

With violent speed I once again unsheath my claws, spattering more blood over my tattoo's, remenants of a past life.

I growl at the green one. His scent is odd, like metal and burnt stone. He has seen the greatness of our Lord Apocalypse, he battles beside me it seems.

I shall see how he fares against this wearisome foe. I circle the one he calls Parker as he goes to attack.

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

"Hi Norman. This is Crazy-Lady-Wolverine-Imitator. Crazy, this is Norman. I think he wants to play with us."

Spidey leapt out of the way as the Goblin attacked.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

My name is Piotr Rasputin. I am known to some as Collosus, an X-Men, and many inflamitory names from the more ignorent members of society.

But that does not matter now. We are at war. Not with humans or mutants, but by an alien being known as Apocolypse. He has taken over most of Manhatten, and has taken control of two of our own--Warren Washington, known as Angel, and Ali Blaire, known as Dazzler--and transformed them into his own personal lackeys.

Most of my fellow team-mates are stuck in a base of Magneto's, "creating a plan" to take this Apocolypse down. Yet, I have only seen bickering between them, espically between Logan and Sabretooth.

Professor Xavier eases the tension somewhat, only to bring more to Magneto, making sure he isn't hiding anything that can prove usefull.

"Yes, tell us what else you have under sleeves, Magneto, and get it over with!"

In my anger, my skin transforms into its organic metal. My voice becomes gravily and...metalic.

"We have our own to save from the control of this monster, so quit your schemes, terrorist!"

 

[Watchman]

"Hi Norman. This is Crazy-Lady-Wolverine-Imitator. Crazy, this is Norman. I think he wants to play with us."

Spidey leapt out of the way as the Goblin attacked.

The Goblin glares at Dazzler, "Step aside girl Parker is mine". He leaps into the air face to face with Spider-Man. "PARKKERR I WILL SHEAR THE FLEASH FROM YOUR BONE!". He lands a flaming punch right in the stomach of Spider-Man and he starts to fall. He starts to dive after Parker preparing two fire balls.

<Carnage>

"Yea know why is it that you always team up on the small scrawny ones huh?"

I jump out from behind the debree and shoot tenticles at the she-wolvie, wrapping her up and throwing her head first into the debree I just jumped over.

"There now the odds are even!"

I elongate my fingers and make them sharp and just wait for her to emerge.

<Magneto>

Magneto walked away from the group and summoned Sabretooth to follow him. When they were far enough away from the X-men, Magneto stopped.

"Excellent job" Magneto said as he levitated the ten alien rings from Sabretooth's pocket into his hand.

"I'm surprised you suceeded Creed...I guess your underhanded methods occasionally hold some merit and value" Magneto said. Sabretooth's response was a stern growl. Magneto paid no attention and and levitated the rings into the air before him. All ten were spread out evenly.

"This is most agreeable..." Magneto said as the rings sparkled before his eyes

"With these augmenting my own power...I will be unstoppable" he smiled slyly.

"Maybe I should have sent you to destroy Xavier instead of Wolverine...you lack any morals which is exactly what prevented Logan from completing his mission...but that is also what makes you more of an animal..." Magneto said as he turned and began to walk away. The rings followed him, and with a flick of his wrist, they all piled into his hand. Sabretooth followed him back to the group of Brotherhood and X-men gathered.

"Yes, tell us what else you have under sleeves, Magneto, and get it over with!" Colossus said as he turned into his metallic form.

"I have nothing under my sleeves Colossus, but if you bring my loyalties into question again, i'd be more then happy to show you whats under yours!" Magneto said as his eyes glowed with white energy

"have you ever wondered what your body would look like if the metal was peeled from your flesh? If you wanted to know I would be more then happy to finish what I started back at the mansion...or have you already forgotten how powerless you are before me?" Magneto scoffed and turned to Xavier

"We do not have time for this foolishness Charles, keep your students under control or I will do it for you. Time is running out and so is my patience with you human lovers! We need to gather our forces and attack now, or there will be nothing left on this wretched Earth to save!" Magneto said sternly

"...Maybe allying with you was a mistake...all debate and no willingness to act! That is what makes you weak"

 

[Batman]

We see the chaos infront of us, perched on one of the few standing buildings. We grow hungrier, by the second.

Spoiler

"HUUUNNnnGGGggerrrRRR..."

We roar again, looking down before us. A Green Man. A Red Man. A Big, Blue Man. A Tin Man. A Winged Man. A Woman... With Claws. None of these matter to us when we see one person, in particular... PARKER. We HATE Parker. We despise Parker. He betrayed us... He CREATED US! WE MUST DESTROY HIM!

But first... We need to rid ourselves of the distractions. We need to FEED...

We LEAP, swinging through the sky, until we land, in the midst of them. We roar, louder than we've ever roared before. We turn to the Big Blue Man.

Spoiler

"FEEEEEeeeEEEEDDDDDDddddd!!!"

Parker... Hate Parker... We'll feast on him. But first, We need to feed...

Spoiler

"WW..WWWwwweee....AREEE.....VEEEEEENNNNoooOOOMmmMM!!!"

 

[Logan Howlett]

Can it be? The symbiot has found a new host! And what a host you are. Your hatred makes you strong. This new timeline is proving far more acomodating, that was how I planned it anyway. But why do you share this symbol with the other two? Another arachnid obsesion. You wish to kill the Parker child yes? You are more than welcome. You seem to have the same problems as every other host I have met. You hunger, yes? I am the only one who can cure that hunger. but first you must do something for me. There is anotherone like you, in all actuality, he is a combination of you and Parker, I dont understamd how, but he is none the less. Your task is to eliminate him, and then I will give you Parkers broken body, and allow you to end his pitiful existance! This creature belives that he can defeat us, and has caused a decrease in the momentum of my plans.. I have injured him greatly, he shall not be anything but that of a minor task. Finish him, bring his corpes to me, and I will grant you a freedom from your hunger, and perhaps even a place in my army. GO NOW VENOM!

"...Maybe allying with you was a mistake...all debate and no willingness to act! That is what makes you weak"

"Firstly, it does not matter if you can control my body, I would do whatever it takes to stop you if you did any tricks. Secondly, you wouldn't do that, for if you did, you would unleash my companions against your 'Brotherhood.'

"Thirdly, I actually agree with your final point, we don't have time for this. We want to destroy this being far more than you do, Magneto. He has our own under his spell, it is personal for us. You? You're just siding with us because you want to rule the world by yourself and this Apocolypse stands in your way."

Please Eric, try to understand, this has been a stressfull situation for us all, we must work together. If you do not have anything else that could assist us than our only hope is that Forge is able to decode the cube.

Great, lets put the ENTIRE fate of the world in a kids hands!

Right then Forge reenters the room.

Its.......Its.........Its unbeliveable?

What is? Whats got you renacting The Waterboy?

This......CUBE.....its......Oh my God! You have no...idea how powerfull this thing is. Its more powerfull than any atomic weapon youve ever heard of!

Thats a good thing right?

WRONG! This.....this cube, is so powerfull.......................it could destroy the entire world!

Everyone in the room gets real quiet.

Well I guess that aint to good.

NO ****! BUT! It has......an internal A.I. it.......thinks, and it knows everything thats been going on, and things we didnt even know. It keeps babling about something.........something it called.......THE AGE OF APOCALYPSE! I couldnt make heads or tails of it, but.......it seemes that its not even from our world, our time. Leme show you.

He walks over to some sorta machine in the hallway and wheels it inside the room we're standin in. Then he slips that cube in a square slot at the top. Suddenly some chick made of light is tandin in front of us.




Greetings, I am Cerebra, nice to see you again Magneto, aswell as you General Logan, and General Creed, I hope the X-Men are still alive and well.

Suddenly she turns and looks straight at Chuck.

Oh my.......Your Charles Xavier! What an honor to finaly meet you sir! I have researched so much about you but unfortunatley you died in every timeline I have been through before I could have the honor.

WHAT?

Died you say?.........This is troubling, but you said you are from a different timeline?

Yes Professor, in all actuality I am a composition of parts from several differnt timelines. You assited in creating me in many of them but unfortuanatly you always died before I could be completed, but your Generals took over for you in your stead.

My generals?

Yes sir, in the war with Apocalypse you had many Generals, but none more trusted than Weapon X, Magneto, and Sabretooth.

WHAT?! You gota be kidin me!?!

Not at all sir.......I'm sorry, has the timeline changed that much?

You could say darlin.

I'm sorry I did not mean to offend anyone.

No please you have not offended us at all. Who was your owner before we got a hold of you?

In my most recent timeline I was posesed by Nathan Summers. Leader of the resistance.

..................Is it just me, or did that thing just say Summers?

Oh dear........Did he have any relation to Scott Summers?

But of course, he is his Father.

Suddenly everyone, including me, take in a gasp of air and I whisper quietly....

Jean.............

In one of the many timelines which have assumed the title "Age of Apocalypse", The malicious dictator know as Apocalypse or Ehn Saba Nur, has decimated this world to the brink of extinction of the human race. Only a small band of resistance fighters have remained. In most every scenario the only choice we had to save the world......was its entire destruction.

What? How can you save the world by destroying it?

Because by destroying it we have been able to force Apocalypse to retreate to an earlier timeline in which he tries to undertsand his previous failure. In most circumstances my shi' ar internal core is used to both destroy the planet and transport Nathan Summers to whatever timeline Apocalypse has entered. Unfortunatley He only has 24 hours before his body retrodecays and eventualy he dies. That is why he sought out general Logan.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a Shi' Ar core?

The Shi' Ar are an extremly advanced race of alien beings which in a small way lent their support through your wife Liliandra.

My wife?

Yes sir......oh no.....you have not yet made contact with the Shi' Ar? I suppose that mean you have not yet incountered the Brood?

I'm afraid not.........will they be a problem that we will have to face imediatly?

I do not know, what is the year?

2006

Oh dear.......that would explain how youthfull you all apear. No. You will not have to worry about the brood for some time.

Than we will discuss them later. How can we defeat Apocalypse.

I wish I could tell you, we have been unable to understand that yet. Cable had a theory that only if we used Apocalyps' manipulations against him, could we defeat him.

This sounds great.

How Cerebra?

By allowing himself to be used by Apocalypse. By killing his own parents in the future so that his current incarnation could be raised by Apocalypse.

Oh my God. Scott......Jean.

He did this so that you may have a chance to save them. Inside his arm, he has an acces slot in wich I may be intserted, through this I can download all of my information into his cerebral cortex, thus allowing him to regain all of the memories stored inside me.

So if we get close enough, and stick you in his arm, than he'll remember who he his? Thats what he was goinon about that day!

Thats correct General.

Sounds so easy. How are we supposed to seperate him from Apocalypse?

If his plan is correct, than Apocalypse is molding him into his succesor, he wants him to follow on after he is gone and maintain his world. He will have him in leading his armies towards the east.

How can we pinpoint his location?

By using me of course. I can amplifiy your thoughts far beyond that of your original Cerebro.

.......I'm truely amazed. You composition is.........unlike anything I have ever even heard of.

Just relax professor.

Two thin, long cords begin to protrude from the cube and rest themselves on Xaviers temples. He closes his eyes and stays still for a couple minutes then finaly opens his eyes.

I know where he is.........that was.....amazing.......never has the amplification been so easy, so smooth in transition.

So you got him? Good! Lets go have a chat!
