IC: Avengers (Closed for all but Cast)

[NiteCrowe]

~~~~~~~~Dr. Henry 'Hank' McCoy, Aka, The Beast~~~~~~~~

‘Hank, I want you to be my replacement, when I leave the job’

‘You what!’ I asked in plain surprise, he had never heard Nicolas Fury to be so, well abrupt was the only word he could think of.

‘Hank’ Said Nick, always the calm one, mildly scratching above his eye patch, ‘I am being serious, I am not as young as I used to be.’

I snorted, ‘Nick, you wont quit this job till your dead and buried, and sometimes I wonder, if that’s even gonna happen sometimes.’

‘Well Sorry for wanting to keep my bases covered Hank,’ He sighed, ‘Will you just register yourself or not, I can’t have one of those idiots running around destroying what I have worked so hard to achieve.’

I grinned, ‘But you’ll trust a stinkin Mutie?’

Nick laughed, a rare treat, ‘Will you do it or not.’

I gave in, ‘Fine, then I will, though the chances are I’ll die long before you old friend.’

He led me to the main computer and asked me to put my hand in the box. I did so, and almost simultaneously, the machine registered my DNA, fingerprints, and added it to my already present retinal, Voice and fingerprint records and then moved them to the special area, on which it would make me the automatic director of shield should Nick die.

It was then, when the raft rocked, as an explosion occurred. Nick was immediately at his comm., demanding to know what was going on. After a minute, he looked up at me, and whispered, ‘Someone’s breaking the prisoners out.’

He ran off towards the main prison, stopping only to yell at a young officer to activate the Distress beacon, and get all available officers down to the brig now.

I just ran, rapidly over taking him and reaching the prison first.

We were in deep shit.

 

[Mayu]

Soon the sound of foot steps were coming, they were light not heavy so it showed it was a woman, and pretty soon the lights showed who it was, it was Rogue, going right up to Hank.

"Hank" She said with a smile "What in the name of god is going on here?"

She needed the information, she wanted to know what in the world was going on, she knew now wasn't the time for pleasant thoughts, but now was the time for something more.

"God this place is going nuts" She said looking at Hank, she was able to control her powers hence why her gloves were off, but soon there was a crash.

"Well looks like the gloves are off" She grinned.

 

[lost_pirate]

Jessica was having a normal day so far. As nomal could be for someone like her. With her powers. Till she heard the distress call.

She was in the neighbourhood when she heard the distress call. She was on a case. One of the regular theft ones. There were too many of those these days and Jessica was wondering what caused this. For now though the signal caught her attention. She quickly transformed into Spider-Woman.

She was now flying over the troubled spot. She quickly saw that there seemd to be trouble near the prison and quickly headed there to see what the damage was. She saw Hank running over there as well and was relieved to think that now they at least had a better chance of fihgting this out.

 

[NiteCrowe]

I cringed as he saw the villians attacking the guards, and was almost happy to see Rogue stood behind me.

'Its seems as if Juggernaught and HobGoblin have decided to form a prison break.'

It was then , that a group of operatives ran up to me. I quickly directed them on their orders of 'Don't let any escape'.

I nodded to Rogue to join in the fight, and then, wondering where in the hells Fury was, i jumped into the melee and headed straight for HobGoblin.

 

[lost_pirate]

As she saw the action unfold in front of her, she saw Beast head for Hobgoblin to take him on. She zoomed down close enough so that he Beast could see her. "Do you need help here, or does Nick need help too? Should I stay here to fight these guys with you, or would you rather have me fight somewhere else. You call the shots."

 

[NiteCrowe]

I saw Jessica and felt releif flood over me.

'Stay here, we can't let any villians escape, that is paramount. If you want work out how they are going to get back down to the ground, becuase i doubt they will jump.'

I ducked as Juggernaught swung at me then leapt into the air as i was charged by Rhino.

'They have got to have a ship around here or something.'

 

[dragonrazor]

The Vision had been on a secluded island several miles away. He had come there for the solitude, the lack of humanity, because he'd taken up meditation recently. Humans said it was supposed to calm and sooth the soul, or something like that, so he figured he'd give it a try. He had been sitting there for fifteen hours in absolute silence, when the inbuilt transceiver in his brain picked up the distress call. The Vision tried to ignore it, but to no avail, as the words stuck in his mind. He shook his head, then slowly stood up. He knew he'd have to help. It was one of those things classified as Inevitable. And so, he took off.

He literally jumped into the air, then flew off at high speed towards the origin of the distress call. He also activated the transceiver, and sent a return message. "This is The Vision. I am on my way. Estimated time of arrival, thirty seconds."

 

[NiteCrowe]

I had just knocked out the Mutant 'Toad' when i heard the message about Vision.

Unfortunalty it was immeadeatly followed by 3 extremely disturbing messages...

1. Someone has breached the Symbiote Holding Chamber!

Crap!

2. Commander Fury has just being assaniated by CrossBones!

Fuck!

3. Bastion And Baron Zemo Have just escaped!

Great, the shit was really hitting the fan now. I switched my communicater to All Stations and almost yelled my orders.

'THIS IS ACTING COMMANDER HENRY McCOY! BASTION AND ZEMO HAVE JUST ESCAPED! ROGUE GET TO THE SYMBIOTE CHAMBER NOW! SPIDERWOMAN GET ORGANISING THE CLEAN UP IN THE MAIN PRISON! SOMEONE CONTACT THE FANTASTIC FOUR AND THE X-MEN, I WANT ALL HEROES AND METAHUMANS HERE NOW! VISION, MEET ME ON THE OPEN DECK, WE HAVE ZEMO TO STOP!'


~~~~~~~~DOCTOR ADAM STRANGE~~~~~~~~

I screamed as i was pulled from my meditation. I saw death and despair, a great ship in the sky destroyed, thousands killed, a group of heroes, and the ultimate villianous alliance.

I contacted five important people, 'My friends, we have a dire problem.'

 

[dragonrazor]

Even as the voice The Vision recognized as Doctor Henry McCoy, also known as The Beast, ordered him to meet the man on deck, the android had already landed on it. The Raft was supposed to be a stealth ship, but much of his technology was far more advanced. Between his creator, Ultron, and the man who reinvented him, Pym, The Vision was the most advanced creation ever to be given human form. However, he had come to the conclusion that while he as highly advanced, he was only a machine. He had seen the potential organics had for growth and development, and sometimes envied them. Still, not much he could do, so he waited for the doctor to arrive on deck. At the same time, he accessed a nearby terminal to get a full status report.

 

[NiteCrowe]

I ran as fast as was possible for me to do so, and finally reached the open deck. I had expected to get there before vision but he had beaten me to it.

I ran to the robot and old friend and decided to ask him a question.

'Vision, do you remember 5 years ago when fury decided to tag all the villians currently in the raft. I was wondering if it would be possible to teleport all said villians there by teleportation using technology we took from the Skrull.'

He may have started to answer, but it didn't matter. Bastion had already started his work, and had created 5 prime sentinels which were floating above us.

only, they wern't your average prime sentinels....they had been upgraded by Ultron.

 

[dragonrazor]

The Vision looked at McCoy. He considered the question for a moment, passing it along to the SHIELD database. Then he shook his head. "There are apparently several key components missing for a mass teleportation." He was cutoff by the appearance of three large Ultron-inspired Sentinels. He sighed, and shook his head again. "A timetraveler named Bishop once encountered an enforcer he called Nimrod. They looked much like this, I believe. He said something about Next Generation Sentinels." He disconnected from the terminal, and then turned to face the mechanoids, and studying them closely.

 

[NiteCrowe]

I vaguely heard Vision say something, but the 5 sentinels decided to take that moment to attack, shooting some kind of beam out of there eyes.

Not wanting to know what this beam involved, i jumped out of the way on to the wall, and the pushed myself towards the first one, intending to tackle it.

What i hadn't counted on was it catching me, and throwing me at the wall, quickly recovering thanks to the increased healing factor that came with my blue felinesque form, and found a beam heading straight towards me.

There was no way, i was gonna get out of the way in time.

 

[dragonrazor]

The Vision knew that he had to protect his old friend. So he stepped in the path of the beam, altering his density to the point where part of the hull plating he stood on dented under the weight. In so doing, the beam merely lanced off him, though it did quite a bit of damage to the terminal it hit. He shook his head, and then stared down the machines. "This is the best Ultron can do now? I would have thought my creator would have been able to best me by now."

 

[NiteCrowe]

I was lucky that Vision was there and smiled as an idea came into my head.

I jumped at one, but before it could catch me leapt in the direction of its partner, which promtly exploded, as the first sentinel fired its lasers at me but missed.

1 down. Whoever said the classic don't work?

 

[Mayu]

Rogue used her flight ability to see what all was going up from the air, and then she cast herself down and began to deliver some attacking punches to those trying to get out.

"Looks like this could get ugly Hank" She grinned

"But better for me to kick some ass" She laughed, but noticed someone trying to go for Hank.

"Hank!" she screamed and went right for Hank but missing him tackling the one trying to hurt him.

"No one hurts my friend!" she punched into the enemy like a punching back "Damn Villians!"

 

[Black Thunder]

The engine of The Punisher's Mustang GT roared through the night. He was just finishing off some idots who tried to hold up the bank. After disposing of them and getting to his car, he heard the message and was breaking all sorts of speeding laws.

"Shit" I yelled When I heard the message that Beast sent out.From the looks of it, it's going to be one hell of a night. My car pulled to a stop in a secluded spot at the dock. I got outof my car popped the trunk.A devillish grin came across my face as I grabbed what weapons I needed. I grabbed my shotgun and closed the trunk.Gravel crunched under my feet as i ran to help my fellow "heroes".

I saw a Sentinel standing over Rogue and I fired three shots into its legs, back and head form the shotgun.I moved towards Hank and Rogue and fired another shot, blowing the head off.

"Sorry I'm late, guys. I had business. You started the party without me I see."

 

[dragonrazor]

The Vision, meanwhile, was engaged in a test of strength with the remaining Sentinel. More importantly, he was winning, having not budged an inch. He had really expected better from Bastion, let alone Ultron, but not much he could do about it. He forced the mechanoid to its knees, then ripped off the arms, leaving the machine staring in what would be equivalent to shock on a human. He kicked the remaining body off the side of the Raft into the water, then turned to look at the others. "I would surmise that they are planning something for which they need the people they've freed, and that they do not want SHIELD interfering."

 

[NiteCrowe]

+++Uatu+++

I watched as a Furius Nicolas Fury was executed by the figure known as CrossBones.

I watched as Henry McCoy Hurled himslef into the air, effectivelt killing one sentinel.

I watched as Frank Castle blasted one the sentinels head off and climbed aboard the raft.

I watched as Anna Marie punched a sentinel into the ground.

I watched as Jessica Drew looked for the villians exit transport.

I watched as the Vision came to the correct Conclusion.

I watched as Adam Strange became aware of the situation and contacted the Illuminati.

I watched as Baron Zemo Laughed with The Infinite about their ploy.

I watched as Loki, attacked Asgard with a force, that the gods had never before fought.

I watched as several sentinels carried off several villians from the raft.

I WATCHED AS SEVERAL THINGS BECAME CLEAR, AND BEINGS PREPARING FOR THE WORST WAR THE UNIVERSE HAD EVER SEEN.

I watched as HobGoblin placed a Nuclear bomb beside the corpse of the late Captain America.

I watched as Sentinels recorded the whole event and boradcast it worldwide.

I watched as the Bomb Exploded at 00:18 rather than the usual 00:00

I WATCHED.

~~~~The Beast~~~~

As the last Sentinel was defeated, i gave myself a chance to sigh, looking around at the small gathering of heroes.

Me, Rogue, SpiderWoman, The Vision, The Punisher

It was almost reminiscent of The Avengers.

"I would surmise that they are planning something for which they need the people they've freed, and that they do not want SHIELD interfering." Observed Vision, ever the 'optomist'.

It was then i noticed the small television in the open mess hall, and saw what was being broadcast.

Cursing, I turned and ran towards the staircase, easily negating the 9 floors in a matter of seconds due to my feline form.

I cringed as i ran into Hobgoblin, exiting the morgue.

~~~HobGoblin~~~

I gladly placed the bomb next to the corpse of Captain America, and truth be told i was glad to be rid of it. I turned to leave, and noticed the late Captain's Adamantium shield.

Unable to help myself, i turned and began to spay my signiture on the shield.

Smiling at my work i turned and headed out of the morgue, and straighhts into the path of the Blue Mutant known as Beast.

~~~Beast~~~

Snarling, i was on top of HobGoblin before he had chance to react, knocking him to floor. I grabbed his head, now in a fit of rage, began slamming it against the bulkhead. Soon he stopped struggling.

I stopped after a minute or two, and realised what i had done. I had killed HobGoblin. True he was a mercenary, but he was a person nonetheless.

I was a Murderer.

Tryiong to ignore the shock, i turned and went into the Morgue. I saw the Bomb next to the body of Steve Rodgers, The Captain America, whom the world Had loved. Steve Rodgers, my friend.

Then i saw Cap's Shield, and felt sick. HobGoblin has sprayed his name over it, and snarling i realised what i had to do, grabbed the Bomb and the shield and Ran back to the stairs.

Again i quickly negated the 9 levels and came to the deck. Jumping past a surprised young agane and ignoring the astonished looks upon my friends faces, i headed for the nearest ship and climbed aboard.

~~~SHIELD Junior Agent Luke Bartle, AKA. The Spook~~~

I had just reached the open deck, intending to tell the new director news about the prison break, i was flung to the ground as he leapt passed me, and headed for the nearest ship.

Astonished, i watched as the ship took to the air and flew straight up, getting further away from the Raft as it could.

Then it exploded, as if a bomb were inside it, completely destroying everything in it, including the new director.

All that remained was a small disk of metal which flew straight down towards the ship and imbedded itself in the bulkhead not far from where i was standing.

It was Captain America's Shield.

+++Uatu+++
And there died one of last true remaining avengers. Now there were just four left, the being known as Vision, Thor, She-Hulk and Hank Pym.

I felt despair, as i reflected over what had happened in the past year. So many deaths; Captain America, Wasp, Scarlett Witch, Iron Man, Proffessor Xavier, Magneto and the seemingly immortal Wolverine.

And now Hank McCoy joind the never ending list.

And all I could do was watch.

OOC: ooo Plot twist, bet none of you saw that coming. Yes i klnow that i just killed off my character, and true, this wasn't planned, it just sort of happened as i wrote it. Either way, it now means i get to play all the NPC's and make your challenge that little bit harder. Hope you enjoy the game. NC.

 

[lost_pirate]

Spiderwoman was getting around trying to look for the source of trouble. Then things happened too fast for her. One minute she heard Beast barking an order into her transmitter "SPIDERWOMAN GET ORGANISING THE CLEAN UP IN THE MAIN PRISON!". She headed straight over and did the best she could. Some escaped. As would always be the case, the most dangerous ones were the most diffcult to catch and escaped.

Next minute she was standing on deck with others, thinking over what happened and why. The next minute, she saw beast run down, and come back up in a little while with a package in his hand, jump to a ship. And she saw the ship take off and move away, and the explode.

She couldnot believe what happened. She was shocked. She then looked at others to see if they were as shocked and she got her answer. All she could say was "Is he really dead? Beast? Is he really dead?" She again looked around and looking at the silence got her answer. And tears welled up in her eyes.

 

[newlysubbed]

Ann was some miles away when the distress becon from the prison went off.

She jusmped up right away and got into her craft. It was small but she still fit in either form. If in hulk form it would take her to the nearest safe place. Now she spoke her destination.

She would be there in minutes.

She was still a minute away when the explosion happened in space. The flash was very bright.

She put her hand up to shield her eyes. The brightness hurt her eyes. But she held herself to gether.

Soon she was in the other craft and could no longer see the lost craft.

She looked to spook who was holding captain Americas shield. She spoke," What happened? He usually does not trust any one with his shield."

She know something big had happened.

 

[NiteCrowe]

~~~Spook~~~

Spook just stood staring at the shield and went to pull it out.

'Fuck thats Cold'

He heard She-Hulk say something, and was about to Answer when Natalia Romanov Strode out onto the Deck demanding answers, and wanting to talk to Beast, with whom she had been engaged to.

Then the air got cold, and everyone turned to Vision for answer.

 

[dragonrazor]

The Vision had watched, horrified on the inside, as The Beast was atomized. His face could show none of his emotion, but many were going through his mental patterns. Fear, sorrow, rage, horror, bloodlust. He turned his eyes away from the fireball in the sky, and turned his attention to the shield in the hands of the young agent of SHIELD. He just stared at it for several long moments, his mind not registering the conversations around him, though his brain recorded them. Then he looked up, seeing all eyes on him. He blinked, a disturbingly human gesture considering what he was, and his voice came out in a sigh. "I do not know what we SHOULD do. I do, however, know what we MUST do. Our first priority is to gather together what remains of the SHIELD staff. Second is to restore The Raft to functionality, including communication and propulsion. Third is to recapture the escaped metavillains. Young man, what is your rank?"

 

[NiteCrowe]

Spook was just about to reply when Natalia replied for him.

'He is a junior lieutenenant, and as highest ranking officer below Hank McCoy tell me where he is!, where the hell is my fiancee?'

Spook, was shocked at his elder half-Sister's reply, for indeed they were related, and he knew nothing about her secret enagement to hank.

Spooked, almost automatically went invisible, but stopped himself. 'I am also a mutant, with the powers to turn invisible and phase.'

He was interrupted by an agent running towards them with a list of the escaped Villians.

'Err, this is not good.' He said looking at it, as Natalia, realising what had happened fell to the floor crying.

he looked back to the shield, then back at the list.
'Not good at all'

Then he realised something....'Natalia...Your now the director of SHIELD'

 

[NiteCrowe]

Spook, turned to the others and read out the list of the escaped Metahumans...

'heres the damage report;
1. Baron Zemo
2. Bastion
3. The Symbiote known as Agony
4. Abomination
5. Chameleon
6. Scourge of the Underworld #1
7. Dark Beast
8. Blood Axe
9. SpyMaster
10. SabreTooth
11. Diablo
12. Dr. Octopus
13. The Skrull known as Titannus

Apparantly Numbers 1,2,3,4,7,8 & 10 all left together with CrossBones and Juggernaught and Ultron.
Numbers 5,6,9,11,12 & 13 all escaped by their own means.

We have 13 dead villians, including HobGoblin. There were 91 SHIELD Casulties, including Dr. Hank McCoy and Nicolas Fury.

The raft is permenantly damaged, all prisoners and personnel will have to be moved to the Bunker.

Due to Deaths and such forth, Natalia Romanov, known better as the Black Widow is now registered as the Director of SHIELD, and i myself am now SHIELD Captain 2nd Class.'

He stopped at Natalia wiped away her tears and stood up, and adressed the gathered Heroes.

'As Director of SHIELD, i am activating Protocol Alpha Omega 12. For those of you who dont know, this involves the immeadeate reformation of the Avengers, and as the highest ranking avenger still alive, that makes Vision, the new leader, with She-Hulk as the next highest avenger still active, his second. I am also divulging the placement of Captain 2nd class Luke Bartle to this team, as SHIELD liason officer. Vision, i will leave it to you to choose your team, and gather up the prisoners. My advice, is you go for the small fry first to get you guys warmed up as a team.'

With that Natalia left the Deck, and Everyone turned to face Vision.

OOC: Lol D-R ur now the 'leader' if you need any help Pm me and i'll give you plot advice so it doesn't spoil it for the rest of us.

 

[dragonrazor]

OOC: we have to face Agony AND Titannus? oy vey.... wait, me the leader? *blink blink*

IC: The Vision blinked again, the only sign of the confusion he was having at the sudden change in command structure. He went from having to follow orders, to having to give them, in the blink of an eye. 'Why do humans have to be so difficult?' He thought with the mechanical equivalent of a sigh. He closed his eyes in thought, then opened them again before speaking. "I will need a complete list of all remaining Metahumans on the planet that could be tapped for the Avengers. I don't think there are any nonMeta heroes who can handle this job at this point. I will also need access to all records pertaining to the escapees. I do not have files on all of them, and some files may need updating. We will also need to figure out why the three intruders took who they did. That will bear heavily on how we remedy this situation. We may also need to assist with the removal of SHIELD personnel and technology to The Bunker."

He thought for a few more minutes, while letting that sink in. His own computerized mind was going through various possibilities, but he had early on realized that it wasn't the possibilities the computer came up with that needed to be worried about. Then, the thought patterns that he had used to make his own surfaced for a moment. "It was like Cats showed up and went 'How are you gentleman. All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive make your time. HAHAHAH'" He shook his head, then suppressed the change in emotions.
