Enforcer
reached into his pack, pulling out a second pistol. Once the pistol was checked
and both pistols were reloaded, he said, "Okay, frontal assault on the
base is the plan, right? StrikeForce, I will put my forcefield around the
aircraft as you land on the airstrip. We charge out while Adamas provides air
cover. I will lead a group toward the building where Patty Plus said the
Doomsday Robot is being built. Any Objections?"
Enforcer
paused, since there were no objections, "Okay Lock and Load everyone. Keep
your head on a swivel!"
StrikeForce
said “as the pilot I will be last out of the aircraft. As the team charges
ahead with Enforcer, I will bring up the rear, looking around to ensure that no
one is attacking our rear.”
Powercell
watched as the other New Crusaders failed to respond to StrikeForce's and
Enforcer's plan. "We could fake a plane crash. This would give us a day or
two to recover and perform surveillance, since it appears not everyone is ready
for a full-on assault", the reformed supervillain said.
"I
don't know if a plane crash, fake or otherwise, would have an impact on how the
inhabitants react. Good security protocols would require a reaction,
regardless." Erdbeben replied.
"I
think we should just hit the robot factory and, in so doing, remove half of the
threat on the island." He finished his comment by raising his eyebrows and
asking, "Thoughts?".
Patty
said, "As for pretending we've crashed, I'm not in favor of that since
we've already had fireworks on the way in. They know we're here."
Blizzard
said, "Two in favor for the assault. I know that Enforcer and Patty Plus
will attack the building where the Doomsday Robot is being built. I will stay
and protect the aircraft. What other targets will the rest of you attack?
Closing
the hatch he used to board the plane, Adamas said, "I could use a few
minutes to prepare for an extended battle... I'm looking for Annihilator, but
he's bested me once, and I'm not looking to get into an extended battle without
being ready for it."
Likewise,
Erdbeben will take as much rest as possible before the next skirmish begins.
Deny
let his head back summoning M.I.S.H.A. while intending to listen to the song he
recalled.
Hitting
his PLAY button there came the initial beat of the song that quickly dove into
a deep and quick low down to stop.
<<????>>
"What
the...?"
Looking
at his Sony Walkman Demy caught red battery light faded to black.
"OH,
COME ON, MAN! SERIOUSLY?!
Not
cool, YO!" At no one in particular...
"OK,
yeah man, it's ON!
I'M
READY TO HIT THESE GUYS!"
<<DELICIOUS
ANTICIPATION>>>
He
went back to preparing M.I.S.H.A.s presence on the landing platform ready to
jump out and charge any target that comes by land, attack with canon if by air,
or defend at a distance out and start patrolling in a widening circular pattern
around the craft.
Patty
tilted her head until her neck popped in that oh-so-satisfying way.
"Hey,
I'm ALL ABOUT a frontal assault on the robot factory, it's what I've been
recommending anyway to choose the fight's location instead of just reacting.
Even if it goes pear-shaped, knocking out the Doomsday bot thingy is worth
doing."
She
cracked her knuckles.
"And
a good plan is always better than a perfect plan that never comes
together."
The
Black Orchid chimed in "I agree with Patty. Hitting the robot
manufacturing area will probably draw them out like flies. I do recommend we
hold a few of us in reserve and keep an eye out for a magical attack as well.
If the good doctor is right, and there is a concentration of magic here, our
greatest threat will probably come from that angle."
"Now,
about Adamas...Wait a moment..." The Black Orchid could tell Adamas was
looking more exhausted than she'd seen him before, then she thought about
Demy's dead batteries. "Recharge batteries... Physical energy, electrical
energy... what flows in one direction can flow in another..." Then she
looked at her hands and the power that could emanate from them. "Yes, I
think that could work."
The
Black Orchid’s mind started racing about how she could cobble together a
"Revitalization Ray."
"Demy,
I need your Walkman's batteries! Patty, can you get me the emergency
defibrillator? Erdbeben, I'm going to need a little help on the biology side.
Enforcer is there a basic repair kit on this vehicle? Strikeforce, be ready to
call Adamas over here. I've got an idea. They may think we've depleted our
resources, but I think we can keep the pressure up."
"If
Dr. Wildman were here, he might be able to figure out a way to tap into this
magical energy as well' But that might have to wait."
Blizzard
replied, “but the batteries are dead.”
“The
batteries are the inspiration! They’re out of power much like Adamas is out of
power.” Black Orchid replied.
Hearing
Orchid's call to action, Demy's hand twitches, slaps, and fumbles for his
Walkman in his lap as he's leaning back eyes white and "looking" at
the up as he continues his summoning.
The
Walkman taps Orchid’s thigh, "They're all yours....", referring to
the two (2) AA batteries it uses, "Knock 'em dead, kid..." he mumbles
and appearing barely conscious.
Patty
finds the defibrillator in the First Aid compartment and pulls it out.
"Yeah,
this is getting scary enough we probably will need this before everything's
said and done. Good thinking ahead, that's why you're the boss!"
The
Black Orchid constructed a device allowing her to use her Vacuum blast on
herself or another willing person. Instead of losing the energy, the energy is funneled
into a "battery" which can then be transferred to any willing
participant. She was able to create the device, but it was limited by the
receiver’s endurance and recovery ability. The device only held 5 charges.
After it used all 5 times it would be worthless. Black Orchid used it on Adamas,
Erdbeben, Blizzard, and Powercell
{INVENTION:
Healing Device; 5 healings per use (27.5); Gear (-5),Chrg=4, Reduced Chrg (-7.5);

{Adamas
gained 39 Power Points, Erdbeben gained 30 Power Points, Blizzard gained 20
Power Points, and Powercell gained 32 Power Points}
“There
we should be good to go”. Black Orchid said.
At the
Island where Dr. Wildman has followed Stormlord
Willam could sense the intertwining
fields of magic across the island. He could see why the recently self-styled
’Dr. Apocalypse’ had chosen to reside here. The island was clearly some sort of
eldritch nexus, a rare location indeed. Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Egypt
were the only locations he was personally aware of, and neither of them had the
potency of this place.
Dr. Wildman concentrated to see if
he could sense ’The Green’; the idiomatic title of mystical energy he drew upon
as a Druid. He reached out with his senses in the hope that he might be able to
bolster his enchantments if necessary. He wasn’t able find anything which will
provide a boost.
His Gull form would have little
value in a lift shaft and so where once a seagull perched - now a small bat
rapidly beat its wings as it descended the shaft. Acute hearing and echo
location were more useful tools here.
Dr. Wildman pursued his quarry stealthily
to see what Stormlord is up to and prepared to respond to what unfolds as any
survival expert naturally does.
He followed Stormlord in the
limestone cave. It had been formed by the eroding effect of the underground
streams that flow through the cave. He is led through large tilting tunnels,
filled with stalactites and stalagmites into the bowels of the Earth until they
link up with a se one set of elevators.
The elevator was a wire cage that
led down to the lowest level of the caves. Stormlord operated the elevator. He
did not see the bat following him above him as it followed him down. The
elevator stopped at its lowest point approximately 150 feet below the surface.
The entire cave floor was electrically illuminated.
In the middle of the cave is a large
platform. Dr. Wildman scans to see who is sitting in the command seat. It is
Dr. Apocalypse. {Dr. Pietro Apoucalos from Quest Issue 1; became Dr.
Apocalypse in Quest Issue 24}.
Dr. Wildman watched as Dr. Apocalypse weaved
an incantation over many crystals and orbs. Dr. Wildman realized it was a
massive magical generator. It draws the latent magical powers of an individual
and amplifies them into a super - powerful mind control ray capable of
maintaining full control over thousands of individuals once they have been
initially exposed to the spell.
Over on the opposite side of the
cave are container tubes for holding the subjects whose magical abilities will
power the crystals and orbs. They are all currently occupied by the members of
the oceanographic expedition and a man in a blue and black costume with gold
arm bands. Dr. Wildman thought they were a type of bracer or gauntlet. With a
shock the Solar Druid realized those were Star Bands. The wearer is Starbolt. {Jamey’s
PC from Crusade Issues 1 to 26 and Quest Issues 32 to 53}
Their
minimal, latent magical abilities are being used to test the incantation as it
is being established. The five members of the oceanography team and Starbolt
are in a semi-comatose state. There is magical Leyland that led from the
containers into the cave wall.
WHOMP! Dr. Wildman saw
two people appear on the platform. He immediately recognized Annihilator.
{Last seen in Crusade Issue 79}
He
didn't recognize the other man, the teleporter. He wore garb from the region of
Borneo. There were skulls on his shoulders, chest, waist, and face. The skulls
on his belt were glowing with magical energy. Finally, the Solar Druid
remembered who the man was when the man walked over to a few servants dressed like
him. He is the Headhunter. Headhunter is a powerful mage with an ancient arcane
artifact: the Head-Axe. The Head-Axe gives the wielder the power to absorb a
person's powers and memories. Striking the victim with the head-axe absorbs their
powers and memories into special crystal skulls. It takes more than 1 strike
but with enough of them, the victim is left powerless without any memory of the
attack or the attacker that robbed them of their power.
Did
Headhunter steal both Starbolt's and Darkstar’s powers?
Before the Shapeshifting Shaman
could reflect on it, he was distracted by a ghost-like figure floating down
into the cave. He immediately recognized Hauntress. {Last seen in Crusade
Issue 14}
Stormlord
joined the others. As he thought about how to approach closer, he noticed a
bright light coming from the tunnel on the opposite side of the cave from where
he came in. The light was as bright as a star. From within the glowing light
Dr. Wildman could see the faint form of a man. As the glow moved closer to the
platform the light diminished until Dr. Wildman could see the individual. He
was sure his eyes were playing tricks on him. The man was wearing the costume of
Skyhawk. But how was that possible? Skyhawk was one of the Fallen Heroes of the
Battle of Stonehenge during the Domain Invasion. {Crossover Issues 1 to 13.
He had been caught in a tank explosion and disintegrated or so the world had thought}.
Now
how was Dr. Wildman going to get the Cowl of Storms back from Stormlord? {Crusade
Issue 56} Even though the Cowl of Storms had transformed into the StormScepter,
Dr. Wildman knew it instantly. {This arcane artifact transforms to best
reflect its wielder’s personality. It was StormBlade with the hero Excalibur,
Cowl of Storms with Dr. Wildman, and now StormScepter with Stormlord. You can
its history as explained by Dr. Wildman in Issue 88}
“Now I must provide a little misdirection myself”. As he said this, he waved hand at a giant view screen. On the screen came the imagine of Cyberdoom. {First Issue Codename: Redhawk Issue 1, First Appearance in Quest Issue 43 Red Hawk Special Issue, and Last Appearance Crusade Issue 62}
Dr.
Apocalypse spoke with sarcasm in his voice, “Greetings, how goes the creation
of your robotic army? I hope the setback caused by New Crusaders when they
destroyed your doomsday robot hasn't put you too far behind schedule.
“Ha! As if you care.” Cyberdoom said
with equal sarcasm,” It was a major setback when your minion allows my supply
of parts to be stolen when the New Crusaders raided your building! “
Dr. Wildman was shocked by the
animosity he heard in both of their voices.
{GM note: this situation is exactly like
the Marvel Super-Villain Team-Up comic books or the Death of Captain America
Graphic Novel where Villains team up to defeat a stronger opponent but don’t
have a common goal and considers themselves superior and their partners beneath
them.}
“Destroyers’ HQ doesn't belong to
anyone but the Destroyers!”, Annihilator yelled back in reply. “I lead the
Destroyers! I am not one of the Four! The Destroyers defeated Adamas twice! {Crusade
Issues 15 to 17 & 73 to 79} Unlike you who ran away as fast as his jet
boots would take him! {Crusade Issues 61 to 65} How did the New
Crusaders know that the Destroyers were involved at all? If it wasn’t your
robot and androids, then who was it?” {Crusade Issues 67 to 69}
“How dare you speak to me that way,
Alien! Don’t look so shocked! I know where you come from. Earth is not the
backwater planet you think it is, especially Russia, the greatest country on
this or any other planet!” Cyberdoom replied. “You owe me my parts. Now I would
suggest you hurry and retrieve them now!”
“You scream as if you have any
power. Your power is as fake as the mechanical army you command. Yes, I do owe
you payment for what you have cost me! In turn I will show you what true power
is!” Annihilator said as he flew at top speed out of the cave.
Dr. Apocalypse’s laughter filled the
cave. “Cyberdoom, once again your arrogance will be your undoing. You might
hide in your underwater base, but you will be useless there, robotic puppet
master, because Annihilator will cut your electronic strings as he destroys all
your communications arrays and sensor devices installed on the surface of MY
island. I hope the AI you built into your robotic servants can defend
themselves without your guidance.”
The screen went dark before
Cyberdoom could utter anything other than a scream in frustration.
Over
the abandoned military base
“Hold
off exiting the plane, Adamas” StrikeForce said. “I think I found us some
cover” He pointed to the storm clouds ahead. “Black Orchid, what do you think?”
Black
Orchid studied the clouds. She agreed they would work to cover. Quickly a plan
formed in her mind. StrikeForce flew the plane into the thunderstorm. He flew
in a path that kept them in the storm clouds until they reached the abandoned
military base. Black Orchid created a Darkness Shape exactly like the plane.
She flew it in the other direction of the plane. “Let’s see them track multiple
bogeys”.
After
Adamas exited the hatch, Enforcer surrounded the plane with his shield. Adamas
flew next to the plane.
Adamas
saw in the far distance near what appeared to be a tracking station site of
some kind. Annihilator is flying toward it. He was flying fast toward it. Two 9
ft tall Cyberions exited the building and launched themselves into the sky by
firing rocket thrusters from their feet. It appeared that the two Cyberions are
attempting to intercept Annihilator. {Cyberions last seen in Crusade Issues
59 to 65}
Black
Orchid was exhausted from creating and managing her shadow bogeys. She used her
Revitalization device on herself. Since all the charges were used up, she put
the device in a storage compartment.
{Black
Orchid gained 80 Power Points}
StrikeForce
landed the plane in the area next to the building where the Doomsday Robot was
being built. StrikeForce as the pilot planned to be the last out of the
aircraft.
Patty
charged right in with Enforcer. She's kind of got a crush on his let's lock and
load and go attitude. Powercell was behind them. The three of them charged
through the building door. There they found 8 Androids. They were assemblers
and unarmed with weapons. They faced the New Crusaders prepared to fight with
their tools. {Building G on map. Their tools are the equivalent to Large
Clubs from the Standard Weapons chart}
M.I.S.H.A
jumped out and started to defend at a distance out and started patrolling in a
widening circular pattern around the craft. M.I.S.H.A. saw four androids
running into the building on the opposite side of that Enforcer, Patty, and
Powercell had gone. {Building H on map}
Blizzard
climbed on top of the plane, ready to defend it from harm if it is attacked.
StrikeForce
planned to be the last one out of the plane but Erdbeben, Black Orchid, and
Rubicon didn’t exit. They stayed inside the plane. He wasn’t sure why they had
stayed on the plane, but he couldn’t stay with them. As half of the team
charged ahead with Enforcer, he had to bring up the rear. As he exited, he looked
around to ensure that no one was attacking their rear. He engaged his senses to
help him keep track of any potential threats. He equipped his escrima sticks
ready to engage. StrikeForce saw that a Cyberion was charging toward them from
the direction of the Docks. {Above Buildings E and F on map}

Enforcer
reached into his pack, pulling out a second pistol. Once the pistol was checked
and both pistols were reloaded he said, "Okay, frontal assault on the base
is the plan, right? StrikeForce I will put my forcefield around the aircraft as
you land on the airstrip. We charge out while Adamas provides air cover. I will
lead a group toward the building where Patty Plus said the Doomsday Robot is

Enforcer
paused, if there were no objections, "Okay Lock and Load everyone. Keep
your head on a swivel!"

If there are objections, I will roleplay those out to hammer out what the plan
to attack the base will be.
Tom
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just
to clarify, The Black Widow no CPs to allocate based on last issue, correct (0
remaining)?
Marc
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tom,
the aircraft has VTOL capabilities, correct?! StrikeForce as the pilot will be
last out of the aircraft. If the team charges ahead with Enforcer, he will
bring up the rear, looking around to ensure that no one is attacking our rear.
He will engage his senses to help him keep track of any potential threats. If
the team takes a defensive position after exiting the aircraft, he will fall in
behind Enforcer, also using his senses to detect any potential threats. Either
option will also see him equipping his escrima sticks ready to engage.
As for now he will hold onto his points.
Jamey
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marc,
correct Black Orchid has no CPs to use for advancement but now has 14 IP to use
at anytime.
Jamey,
correct the aircraft has VTOL capability.
Tom
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks
Tom. I thought so, it should make it easier for StrikeForce to land the
aircraft. The Enforcers shields and Adamas flying cover should really help as
well.

Annihilator, but he's bested me once, and I'm not looking to get into an

Adamas
will land close to the Robot Factory and begin a short rest... just looking
around. I don't think his heightened
vision/senses use any power.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As
usual, I am the (way) tardy one.
The
Black Orchid chimes in "I agree with Patty. Hitting the robot

looked at her hands and the power that could emanate from them. "Yes, I
think that could work."
I
would like to have The Black Orchid use some inventing points to cobble
together a "Revitalization Ray"
The
basic idea is that The Black Orchid will construct a Device allowing her to use
her Vacuum blast on herself (or another willing person, although she would
never ask that of anyone else). Instead of just losing the Power Points,
however, they are funneled into a "battery" which can then be
transferred to any willing participant. I'm thinking a 30-50 PP transfer to
Adamas will keep him in the fight a lot longer. I think she would probably know
if this will work or not before trying it. Also if the tempo of the battle is
such that this is not needed, she may still try to invent it for this battle
but not use it immediately.
"Demy,
I need your Walkman's batteries! Patty, can you get me the emergency
defibrillator? Erdbeben, I'm going to need a little help on the biology side.
Enforcer is there a basic repair kit on this vehicle? Strikeforce, be ready to
