Crusade: Energy Onslaught! - Issue 40



{Location: Everglades Florida}

The New Crusaders were following a lead on the theft of chemicals from the U.S. Military. It led them to a small island within the Swamp. There they were attacked by Swamp Rat and Sludge. The New Crusaders and the Swamp Fiends battled back and forth.




StrikeForce used the grapnel from his staff on a nearby tree to extract himself from the quicksand. “I don't think that I was thinking about this'd possibility when I designed my staff, but it sure came in handy." The Bionic Brawler thought to himself. Standing firmly on solid ground, StrikeForce ran towards Sludge’s back. "Funny repartee time is over, time to take "it" out" he thought to himself.

[36]       Adamas continued his energy onslaught.  Power blasting Sludge again, the Alien Powerhouse thought “at least we are tiring him out. He's gotta go down soon.”

All five blasts struck the Sludge, “Arrgh”, it cried as it struggled to keep from falling down. It did not fall. It continued to fight.

[29]       StrikeForce attacked Sludge’s back with his sticks.

WHAM! WHAM! The Bionic Brawler hit with both his attacks. The dimensional swamp creature staggered then fell to the ground. Its body broke into a thousand pieces.

No! I can’t go back! ARRGH!  The dimensional being that inhabited the mud creature was forcefully sent back to its home dimension in a crescendo of pain and anguish.
Manta Man flew over and joined the others as Black Orchid dissipated her darkness silhouettes. He said “Wow I am glad that is over. As far as traps go that was a doozy.”

“StrikeForce, we don’t have time for me to fully recover so I want you to maintain tactical command.”

Manta Man looked the rest of the New Crusaders. “We must be on the right track because the villains set a trap for us. What do you think our next steps should be?”

StrikeForce uses the grapple feature from his staff to lock onto a tree and pull himself from the quicksand. "I don't think that I was thinking about this'd possibility when I designed my staff, but it sure came in handy." The Bionic Brawler thinks to himself. StrikeForce runs towards Sludge’s back and attacks with his sticks.

Wow, time flies.  Adamas will continue his energy onslaught.  Powerblast again, at least we are eating up his power points.

He's gotta go down soon.

With the way we are rolling, it may take a while.

Maybe he’s got a mutant luck power...

The Black Orchid dissipates the two that were hit and moves to position herself near the remaining ones. "Ow! that hurt! But you got lucky, you won't do that again!"

Under her breath into the intercom, The Black Orchid whispers "I'm OK, I'm trying to keep the pressure off you guys"
