The Back-Story

Meeting of the Minds

Funez Tower

Recap --- Present

Africa, Life's Gandeur

 The blood gushed crimson red from where the sniper’s bullet had slashed his left shoulder open.  In the medical field, they would call the injury a graze, but that didn’t stop the wound from issuing wave after wave of throbbing, nearly unbearable pain.  Nausea threatened to overwhelm him every time he reached over with his right hand to put pressure on the wound and his fingers were tacky from blood that had long since soaked through his thin leather gloves.  Worse yet, he knew that if he didn’t find a better solution than his hand he would soon bleed out, and then those pursuers of his could walk up as pretty as they please and punch a bullet between his eyes.

The Arach-Knight reached the edge of a rooftop and leapt off of the stone ledge, soaring into the air over the deep canyon of streets below.  As he landed on the roof of an apartment building opposite, a jolt of pain from the impact made him cry out.  His knees felt suddenly weak, threatening to give way altogether as he willed them to carry him on a few more steps.  The roof was covered in loose gravel that crunched beneath his boots as he shuffled along towards the boarded up greenhouse sitting atop the tenement.  He reached the corner and pulled himself around, hoping that this hiding place would grant him surcease from their relentless pursuit.

It was the first moment of peace he could hold on to since these terminators had begun their assault an hour ago.  Some people called the Funez family had declared open season on heroes and villains alike, and for some damned scary reason Andrew was high on their target list as it was only minutes after hearing the news report that they had descended on him.  With his back pressed against the rough, oak boards, which were nailed haphazardly over the greenhouse’s broken windows, the Arach-Knight took a deep breath.  It was only slightly past noon, so the air was still thick with heat and humidity.  Off on the horizon, enormous banks of blackened thunderclouds loomed with poetic promise of the storms to come.

The sickening crunch of gravel alerted the spider to the arrival of one of the black armored grunts tracking him.  There were two heavy steps and then the sound paused for a moment before the gravel shifted slightly, leaving the Knight to imagine that the grunt was now crouched over the very spot he had landed on.  The silence stretched out, uncomfortably so, until the static hiss of a communicator opening broke the moment open.

“Target was here so track on my signal,” the toneless voice said.  “There’s blood here, so he’s definitely hit.  I’d guess he’s maybe a minute ahead of me.  The blood appears to lead across the roof.  There’s an alley and then a larger building across from it.”

“Subject can climb walls,” a steely voice responded.  “Head up and we’ll triangulate on that position.”  The voice cut off with a noisy squelch as the soldier stood once more and began walking towards the ledge between buildings.  His route would take him past the greenhouse; he’d be only a step away.  Andrew’s heart thudded against his chest cavity as he reached behind his head and grasped one of loose boards.  He fought hard against the pain as he did everything possible not to make a sound.  The footsteps grew louder until they carried the terminator past the edge of the derelict building.  For one glorious moment, the Knight though that maybe, just maybe the grunt would continue on, but then he started to swing his metallic helmet towards his hiding spot.  With a scream of rage, fear and sorrow, the Arach-Knight tore the board free and swung it in a wicked arc towards the man’s armored throat.  The strike connected, taking the soldier almost unaware and he gurgled something unintelligible as he fell backwards onto the roof.

Fighting through the pain, the young spider leapt forward and with his good arm grasped the soldier’s belt.  When one has the ability to lift a two-ton bus, it isn’t hard to pick a man up, even an armored one, and that was what Andrew did.  He lifted the terminator high and threw him javelin like at a window in the tall building that loomed majestically across the alley.  There was a horrible sound of crashing glass and grinding steel as the grunt disappeared from view.  Without daring to linger even a moment longer, the Arach-Knight leapt from the building and webbed his way as far from that block as he could.

*****

Sometime later, with the sun still resting comfortably above the horizon, the Arach-Knight came to rest once more.  He was in an old, dark alley that reeked of garbage and maggots.  A moldy crate of apples leaned against an overflowing garbage bin, indicators that no one had visited this place for a long time.  That was good enough for Andrew as he shuffled feebly over to a dark corner behind the dumpster and sat down.  He pulled off his mask and gagged on the rancid air, but he was still breathing, he reminded himself, and that was quite an accomplishment.  The dropped the mask unceremoniously onto the wet, moist pavement and leaned back against the cool brick wall.  A long, dirty tablecloth hung out from the side of the garbage bin, so he tore himself off a piece and used it to tourniquet his bleeding shoulder.

A filthy, brown rat pulled one of the moldy apples free and dragged it across the alley.  It stopped as it neared Andrew and stared at the teenager in apparent annoyance.  “Sorry to crash your alley, little one,” Andrew said with a sigh.  “All the tables at the Ritz were full.”  The rat, still staring at the boy, began to nibble on the apple.

“Probably be best if you scampered off.  This may not be the safest place in the city right now.”  Honestly, Andrew had no earthly clue if or when those ebon-armored psychos would find him again.  And that brought on a deeper question; how long would he have to run from them?  If the government was sanctioning this witch-hunt, he could very well be running forever.

“NO,” he growled with a ferocity that startled himself and the rat, which ran with his sweet treat towards another, darker part of the alley.  “I don’t have to run, because they have no clue who I am without this mask.”  It was simple logic.  They were after the Arach-Knight.  Without this mask he was just Andrew O’Gill, high school student.  He reached out and picked the mask back up, staring at it thoughtfully.  Could he live with that decision?  Could he walk away from this world?  Could he walk away from the Vine Titans?  In a deep pocket of his gut, something sick turned over.  The Titans.  The Termination Squad would be after all of them too and they were his friends.  The answer was simple, of course, he knew beyond any reason that he couldn’t walk away from this until he knew Eclipse and the others were safe.  After that…well after that would take care of itself.

With a tired grunt, he pushed himself up the wall and into a standing position.  From here, the tower was maybe twenty five to thirty miles away.  “Thirty miles across a hostile city teeming with soldiers looking for my head,” the Knight whispered.  “Just a walk in the park.”  He tried to make himself laugh, but only a small sob escaped his throat.  Salty tears dripped down his cheeks as he mashed the mask back over his head.

“Thirty miles,” he said, steeling himself.  “God help me.”

Moscow, Russia: 2 Days Ago

 
The , one of ’s most prominent landmarks and one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and home to the country’s president. Thousands of people, citizen and tourist alike flock to ’s so that they can witness its beauty. It had been constructed in 1850, and had been standing in all it’s splendor ever since. Today, however, it lay in ruin. Partially destroyed, it was now smoking ash and rubble save for the few parts of it that remained standing.

Within the rubble itself, a single man stood covered in ash and dirt. A partially torn balaclava covered his face, and he wore a black military style uniform. He appeared disoriented, and slowly he stumbled out of the smoking wreck. In an instant he was surrounded by police and arrested, putting up little resistance.

The news of the Palace being destroyed spread like wildfire all over the country. Outraged citizens entered the streets and demanded the one man responsible for this to be put to death, with threats of riots breaking out in every city. Responding quickly, the government quickly scheduled the “Kremlin Terrorist,” which he now being referred to as, to be put on trial the very next day.

Present Time: Courthouse in Moscow

 
“This court is now in session, hearing the case of Veretennikov vs. The People. Will the suspect please take the stand?” The Judge calmly waited for the prosecution to begin, knowing in his mind how this case would end. The prosecution’s lawyer calmly stepped up.

“Stanislav Vladimirovitch Veretennikov. Also known as Razorback. One of our country’s ‘heroes.’ I see you have an extensive military record, and you are one of the few government commissioned heroes in our country.” The lawyer calmly looked at Razorback, smiling slightly. “Does your high status make you think you can go around destroying national landmarks?”

“I didn’t do it.” Pure anger showed on Razorback’s face, an unfiltered hatred for the people in this courtroom burning in his eyes.

“Evidence says otherwise! You were the only person actually in the rubble. The way the building is destroyed is consistent with your power set. This leaves only one conclusion, one that is horrifyingly obvious. We have thousands of witnesses. It’s your word against thousands, who do you expect use to believe?” The lawyer presented theses statements as if each one was a dagger, stabbing them into Stanislav’s ears and the ears of all in attendance until everyone could only accept that the suspect was guilty. “And to finalize our case against this… terrorist, we call up to the stand one of our witnesses, Sergei Nikolaevich Novikov.”

A somewhat tall, muscular man approached the stand as Razorback was assorted back to his seat. He was wearing an all white suit with a white tie, and had a confident look about him as if he thought himself better than everyone around him.

As the prosecution lawyer began to question their called up witness, Stanislav tried to remember what had happened at the Kremlin. He could briefly recall what had happened, but couldn’t remember a face… the face of the man that really had caused the Kremlin’s destruction.

Later On In the Trial 

The Jury slowly filed back into the courtroom, taking their seats and ready to give their verdicts. Not one of the jury members looked at Stanislav, and he knew in his mind that he had been pronounced guilty.

“The Jury finds Stanislav Veretennikov guilty on all counts, and he is sentenced to life in prison. Court Adjourned.” The prosecution had won as expected.

Guards began to lead Razorback out, to be transported to a facility designed to hold superhumans. He seemed to accept this fate, until he finally remembered the man who had really caused the Kremlin to fall.

“IT WAS HIM! IT WAS HIM!” Razorback began to go crazy, fighting off his captors and pointing at Sergei Novikov. Police forces swarmed Stanislav, trying to pin him down, but he was too strong. Breaking out of his handcuffs, he ran after Sergei, who had made his way out of the room, fighting off guards at every step. He finally made his way outside, and spotted the white-suited man immediately.

“FIGHT ME! FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN YOU B*STARD!” Razorback shifted his hands into giant hammer fists, and sprinted at his enemy, brutally attacking anyone or anything that got in his way. Riots broke out, most people trying to attack Stanislav, and Sergei got away. Finally, Razorback was captured by a squadron of men designed to take down superheroes, calling themselves a Termination Squad and sent a high security prison.

The news of Razorback’s outburst quickly spread over the news, and citizens everywhere lobbied for his death. People began to go crazy, soon some of them began to lobby against “superheroes” in general, seeing the damage that they are capable of.

Amidst all that was happening, Sergei Novikov smiled. Pulling out a cell phone, he quickly contacted his superiors.

“This is Masterpiece. The plan in was a success.”

Flashback

Battleground

Simple minded people never got any where in life these days. But who was the judge the ways of earth. They where slow, shifty and placidly evil in a way. Never the less she could not care less about what the hell was going on, on this tiny blue plant. Earth 616 was a mystery to her. She had no Idea how this place still existed.  It was one of the largest puzzles she had yet to fix. Even though history for told itself and she was not questioning hat it was just the last time she had been here it was far more different. Less polluted with humans thoughts and their stupid little actions that would mess up peoples lives.

Her long blond hair laid in strands over her face as sweat poured down her forehead. Her crystal blue eyes gazed at her opponent. He was double her age and also her weight at the same time. Though Sabre was very thin, she was s slim tall, blue eyes blond haired girl that you always see and the clueless blonds in movies. But she was far away from clueless.  She was a strong independent teenager who didn’t need men telling her that she was sexy and asking her how much she paid. It would always piss her off when they did that. But she dealt with them the same way every time.

Her fits was clenched as she charged toward him full speed ahead. Reaching a few feet away from his body she leaped up into the air. Soaring over his head and making a single flip to land on her feet.   Quickly she crouched down and spun her left in a full circle tripping the man. Seeing that she had completed the most simple objective she opened her legs and stood right above him with a sinister smile as her golden hair laid on either side of her face. As her eyes glared at the man below her he was terrified. Probably would have gotten a heart attack if he was older.

“Sorry” she whispered her strong Russian ascent ringing in the mans ears “I don’t pay any thing!”And with that she kicked him in the groin before picking up her black jacket and sling bag and walking out of the bar. Entering into the sunlight she could be fully seen by all. She was tall for her age, had long golden locks that went up to her shoulders. Along with her bright blue eyes that scanned the area. She was dressed in a while shirt with no sleeves r straps that wrapped around her wait very tightly. Leaving half of her stomach exposed greatly. She was wearing a tight fitting jeans that was slightly to long for her and had holes in the knees sections. And pulling out from her bad she placed some shades on her head resting on her blond hair.

She had nothing that she really wanted to do. Thankfully she had not followed her sister in a life of insanity and just pure unreason ability. Saber’s life was simple she killed people for money it was her job. But she often found herself killing people just out of pleasure. That was the curse of the Howlett family, the killing for pleasure. Every one had it, some it was not so obvious but other’s like her dead little sister it was plain as day. But Sabre…Lilia Creed was not that way. She didn’t not go for the out right killing at first. She worked slowly to gain the confidence o her enemy and then kill them.

She was the seducer, the liar the back stabbing girl friend. The wife of the chancellery who was murdered in his bath tub. She was the kind of girl you would think nothing of until it was to late and every one was dead. Se worked that way, slowly and very personally. But that left her with many scars to heal from. The one love of her life back stabbing her and brining her in to HYDRA for money. A man that was made for exactly the kind of things she did was able to seduce her and make her the one being used. Yes that wound would never heal an so her trust for the human race of 616 was limited. But there one man that she found she could trust. His name was only Roulette to her. She knew him by no other name.

Their contact was brief she had only seen him one or two times concerning Zero Squad. But never the less he had striked her as the type of guy she could trust. Whether this was consciousness speaking or her won personal thoughts or maybe because he was just the handsomest male of the human race that she had ever seen in her whole existence…it didn’t matter.  What mattered that she could trust him, at least until he too stabbed her in the back and leave her for dead. They all do and they all died what made him any different. He was a man, that was all that she needed not to trust him and to stay clear from him.

It was not because she wanted to there where just things that happened if she was close to a guy that she wished to remain secret to these humans. Things that not even she could understand and didn’t want to…no she wanted to. She wanted to approach a man with out falling desperately in love with hi,. She just wanted to have a guy of the opposite sex who was her friend like she had girls who where friends she wanted a guy she could talk to just talk to who’d be nice to her and who’d she consider a friend not a possible mate! “Damn it!” being part animal was so frustrating.

Letting a sigh escape her she looked to her hand that had recently emerged from her pocket. There was   a reason that Roulette was on hr mind…ok two reason but the other remains closed till further notice.  A device rested in her hand one that resembled a tracking device. It was Roulette’s she’d know that sent any where. She knew something had happened and with the recent law that was made about for both heroes and or Villains to singe some document she knew that he would not have done it.

But she was not established enough to be noticed or forced to singe a dumb document she was not even a citizen of earth and she was unaware how they took to alien on this planet. She was in a small town in Nevada. AT least that’s where the located had let her to. But seemingly it was leading out into the dessert now doubt where Roulette was being held. She did not have to think whether saving his was a good Idea or to because it was not. If she did those she’d probably be hunted again being the same situation as her little sister and she didn’t want to go back. But some things where worth sacrificing for saving some that you cared for or had an obligation to save. Troops had recently been capturing heroes just cause they didn’t singe a piece of paper. Well that was as far as they where going to get, paper.

She was about to go hitch a ride when she heard a loud voice shout “Hay you!” Letting out a sigh she turned her to face her opponents…or better opponents. She was amazed at the amount of numbers. About 20-25 fully armed men standing guns in hand and ready to fire on their leaders command. “yah?” se said placing her hands on her hips and staring at them in a bored like manner. “You have failed to singe the treaty of….” “Blah…Blah….Blah any thing else I should know! Oh wait! I got it your gona want to fight me huh? Well mates stop your talking and just shoot me already I have a schedule to keep up so lets see how fast I kill you all” .

Angered by her reactions he gave the command and guns soon rained from all directions around her. Obviously there where more men in other hidden places ready to take her down.  Quickly she took off running to the group of men before her. Though the pullets shot through her skin they passed righ though her. The special thing about her healing factor was that if she was shot the bullet entered he skin and exited. As she got close enough she leaped at one of them men and as she did her nails grew in length. With that she dug them into his chest and got her hands on his guns. Keeping the weapon in check she began to fire at the men around her but soon took off in a desperate sprint. There where to many of them all over the place. She didn’t stand a chance. Though if she was her sister she probably would have stayed and fought and lost. But that was the difference between the two. The one wanted to live and the other didn’t care.

Ducking behind an alley she looked around for any possible escape routes. Her eyes laid on the sewer covering before her. Taking a deep breath she whispered “The things I do” With that she slid the gun so it hang on her back and quickly removed the covering and with a slight hesitation leaped down into it. She landed with a slash. She did not bother looking to hard or smelling for that matter and dashed off. The water splashed as she raced though the swerve. She could hear the men gathering around her entry point. And knew that in a few moments bullets would be flying thought the air.   Coming to a dead end she saw a latter leading up to the road. Wrapping hr hand around the metal frappe she climbed and slowly removed the hub-cap.

After lifting it slightly so she could see where she was going she fully removed it and was about to run before something wrapped around her had. She let out a shrike as she began to feel as if being electrocuted. Falling to her knees she looked to her arm and saw a whip like thing wrapped around it being held by a man, as he stood there with a grim smile. When she tried to remove it she was shocked instantly. Clenching her teeth she attempted to get to her feet just as another one was fired and wrapped around her ankle. Falling to her knees once more she used her hands to prop herself up. As she laid there she could see more of the agents pouring in around her. The commander of the squandered took a step forward with a gun like weapon in his hands.

He smiled sinisterly kicking her in the chest. Turning her on her back she stared up into his dark eyes growling loudly.  “Sadly your little schedule will have to wait.” Two more of those teasers wrapped around her other wrist and ankle. And as they did she was shocked again and over again. He leaned down close to her face and kissed her. Out of anger she imminently reacted in jerking forward but let out a cried as she was electrified once more.  Breathing hard on the floor he whispered in her ear. “It’ll be fun watching you suffer” She glared at him with her blue eyes “Go to hell”. He chuckled slightly and pointed the gun at her neck. “Tell me how it looks”  with that he pulled the trigger as the area filled with silence.

Moaning as she came to she opened her eyes suddenly scanning her location. “Dang and I thought I’d be in hell” she thought to herself. Running hands through her now muddy blond hair she sat herself up against the wall and began to whistle. She was in a fortified cell, obviously sector 11. They where more dumber than she thought. Did they honestly think she’d go down with that little stunt. She would have killed them all but she knew that this was the only way to get in. The room was quite small only a few yards in length. She was presently chained to the wall as she saw the bolted iron clad doors.

Moving her eyes to the right corner of the roof of the room she could see a surveillance system. She had been in these situations before. Actually many times she had gotten out but never in earth 616. Slowly she moved her hand to the device in her pocked. It was the tracking device she had found. And it showed that her team mate was here….he was close. But before she could think up any plan the door flew open and then man that had taken her down stood there. “Now my little pretty do you know why your here? “ “That better be a rhetorical question cause the answered is obvious” she said with a smile. Not taking the insult he continued “You are here because you failed to comply to the agreement and singe the needed documents to pledge you allegiance” “Oh is this about the fraud ID because I can explain.”   “Enough!” he roared slapping her so forcefully that she began to bleed.

Spitting out the blood from her mouth she looked away from him. “Now my little dear, time for you to pay for you insolence.” “Question is this a free for all or do I have to take turns with some one else?” He ignored her and pulled her to her feet unlatching her chains and quickly sliding a color like thing on her neck. Grabbing her by the wrist he clasped her hands with chains and pulled her forward like a common slave. She knew that if she attempted to escape she’d be shocked by that choler around her neck or the chains that banded her from moving. As she was being escorted to where ever she picked up his scent and located his position. Cell 42   down hall way 7 level 6. Approaching another steel door he looked at her with a smile and said “Now we will make you wish I had killed you”.

3 Hours latter.  

She laid chained up against al wall. Her arms and legs barely attached. As her forehead was filled with bruises due to being hit and lashed at many times with a whip. Her back was bare and filled with slash mars. On her back her flesh had all been whipped off and her own marrow was visible. Her neck was bent and her eyes stared at the floor before her.   Her blood stained hair lay in a tangled mess fall over her face. Show slowly moved her arms and wrapped them around herself. She was hardly breathing and after a few hours of torture she thought herself to be a very lucky person. For at least the torturer was merciful and did not have sex with her. That was a good thing. Even though she could have sworn he was eyeing her naked body this instant!

“Alright, step one completed step tow down now for step three.”   The door of her cell creaked open as two muscular men entered the room picking her up by each arm and dragging her. Though she was fully capable to walk the appearance of weakness would do her good in such a situation. Closing her eyes she began to whisper “Cell 42, down hall way 7 level 6” over and over so she would not forget it and for another reason. After a few minuets of being   dragged they stopped at another cell door and opened it flinging her body in and shutting the door tightly.

Slowly sitting up she wiped her moth of the blood and let out a sigh looking into the corner. She was in Cell 42 down hall 7 and on level six, the same cell where she would find her team mate.“Sorry it took me so long sir, there where a few complications. Never the less prepare to escape in 10, cause I have a plan” she said forcing a faint smile as she attempted to reattach her severed limb. “Just give me a little more time”       

On every TV for as long as you can see the screens are full of the same image over and over. A young woman trying to enforce her new authority all over the world and a man walking on the ground can only look at them and say. "this is my fault I never should have left I could have stopped this from happening before it even became a real threat and now now I have to do something against an entire force that might as well have the entire world under their feet I wonder if Jesus ever felt this stressed." 
 
He continues to walk on the streets and looking around he is disturbed to see a car rushing down the streets. The idiot almost hit a little girl but Mike jumped in the street and saved her. "No doubt some drunken idiot about to get someone killed." Like a fortune teller just as he looked to see the girl was alright "CRASH" 
 
The speeding car hit another and the crash propelled the speeding vehicle into the air causing it to flip and land right on the roof of another car. Sparks had already begun to fly and gas leaked from the crushed car. People where still trapped inside an explosion was seconds away  and people where going to die if nothing was done. 
 
Mike quickly ran down the street and like something out of a syfy series bursted into flames and flew through the air. He got closer to the cars just as the flames reached the cars fuel causing the explosion but in the very second the deadly fires roared he reached out his hand and sucked in the heat from the flame. No ones hurt by his heroic actions and he dropped down to the ground and pushed the car off the other and then pried open the other vehicle freeing the people inside. 
 
The people inside said thank you and someone started clapping in the ground crowd. Soon it began to spread to other people and soon like a president or king Solis was waving to the public cheering him on, but to end the cheering going on an energy blast came from the sky and forced Solis into the ground tearing it to pieces. "d@mnit that hurt". He could hear his attacker shouting "YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR TREASON AGAINST THE COUNTRY. YOU ARE AN UNREGISTERED SUPER BEING. YOU ARE EITHER TO REGISTER IMMEDIATELY OR BE KILLED ON SIGHT "you don't want any of this ok I'm not the type of guy your used to dealing with so just back away now". The soldiers flying in extremely powerful battle armor did not heed the warning of The Solis and the drew their weapons on him and asked him once again WILL YOU COMPLY and he answered the super armored soldier with a calm and quiet yet assertive "no". 
 
BY ORDER OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT I DEEM YOU NECESSARY FOR IMMEDIATE AND PUBLIC EXECUTION The soldier fired a repulsor blast from his hand straight for The Solis, but his back was not turned this time and he was going to take the hit. He flew in the air and twirled pass the blast as it hit the ground. Solis replied to the soldiers attack with one of his own super powerful blasts of solar fire. The shot forced the soldier 100 feet away straight through a building. 
 
The other looked on at their commanding officer as he flew away and then where drawn back to the battle cry of Solis as he flew at them. Four soldiers tried to fire another repulsor blast at Solis but he used his powers to create a little energy shield holding back their blasts. He then turned the shield into an energy wave and sent it at the soldiers blasting them away. He flew straight through the heard of them and grabbed on to one who had let his guard down. He flew him through and building and tossed him out the other end. 
 
The others rushed to their target fully ready to fight and so was their target. One by one they crashed into the building like a swarm of deadly bugs. Like football players tackling a quarterback four of them held on to The Solis and dragged him out the end of the building the same direction he tossed the comrade. He swatted them away by expanding his energy aura pushing them back. 
 
Another tried to rush him but he gave him a shot of heat vision to out him in his place. Another soldier released four heat seeking missiles aimed at The Solis. One of the rockets him causing him to spin backwards in the air and then another hit him just to make things worse, but he got his balance and haulted himself mid flight. He charged up a fire blasts and with one hand destroyed he third rocket and with his other the fourth. He pulled both hands together to fire one powerful shot at the soldier and the blasts hit his armor. The metal began to boil under the heat and soon exploded as the the soldier fell out the sky. 
 
Three more soldiers activated their suits energy swords. This in turn prompted Solis to make a flaming sword of light. The soldiers charged at Solis and he at them. Solis sword met with the soldiers and they all got into an amazing sword fight. Solis felled one of the with a swipe of sword. Another went down when Solis got out of the way of a charge from one them forcing the soldier to hit his partner. Solis pulled back the energy from his sword into his hand and shot an energy wave at the last swordsman. 
 
He looked around to see two more soldiers remote piloting their carrier ship. The vehicle was hovering over the ground and turned around. The hatch opened to revealed a massive energy cannon trained on Solis. The blasts raged at Solis and was only held back by a thin wall of energy from his hands. The blasts pushed him back down on the ground. He tried to keep his stance but his body just kept moving while his feet tore up the ground trying to hold on. 
 
Finally the shot moved his back against a building and it seemed to be the only thing that stopped the Solis. The energy was still barreling down on him and the two soldiers had a look on their face as if they had one, but soon Solis began to smile and began to move his feet forward. He pushed back against the blasts moving his feet faster and faster till he took flight. He said his battle cry I HAVE THE POWER OF A TRILLION SUPERNOVAS WHAT DO YOU HAVE? and then he let loose a massive energy blast engulfing the other one and sending it back to its point of origin. It destroyed the other ship and Solis flew over to inspect he saw the soldier on the ground but still alive. He picked up one of them in pain his armor torn to pieces and saw the label of Funez Industries on his armor. Solis uttered a word under his breath "Closure" he dropped the soldier to the ground and took off in the sky no doubt going after Mr. Funez himself.

Two hours ago... 

Sector 11: Barren wasteland

 A bell rung loudly, as Blair pushed the door opened to get into the Pet shop. There were a-lot of glass boxes that the animals were in, they all seemed to follow her with their eyes as she walked closer. On the corner there was an old man, with a cane by him. It seemed like he might of owned the place, hopefully he wasn't mean. She skipped over to the man to ask something " Hey do you have any dogs here?" The man reached for his reading glasses that was on the desk. " Well yes we do, we actually just got puppy's in a few days ago." Blair's face grew with a smile from what the man said.

She turned around to see that the man was right, there was a spot in the back of the store where the puppies were at. Blair walked to the case of puppies, her pink boots squeaked a bit on the wet floor. One of the white puppies rushed to the glass, with his tongue hanging out. She grabbed a hold of the dog, this dog snuggled in her arms. "I would like this one please" She walked over to the man, smiling with the dog moving around in her arms. "Great choice, that will be 350 dollars." Blair put the dog on the counter, she reached into her pocket to bring out a credit card. She handed it to the man, then she put a collar and leash on the dog. "Is it a boy or a girl?" The man laughed at what she had said. "It's a boy, now have a great day."

Blair got out of the store with the blue leash tied around her hands, the dog seemed to examine everything in sight. "What should i name you? Hmm.... Fluffy... Nah... Oreo!!.... Nope... Zack!." Zack turned around when he heard his new name, then he started to pee on the fire hydrant. "Zachary!! Stop it!!" Blair rushed over to get her dog away from it. Potty training was going to be a hard one.


One Hour Later

Blair and Zachary returned to the Vine Titans Tower, like usually everyone was either sleeping, outside, or doing their own thing inside of the Tower. Blair looked around for a newspaper, just so she could throw it over the spots Zack peed at. She could not find any though, the next time she goes shopping for supplies with Arach-Knight, and Sha; Blair will need to buy a bed for him. Hopefully Moonglow wouldn't terrorize the dog, or hopefully the other noob Nicole wouldn't hug him to death.

Out of nowhere Zack began to bark, he ran to the couch to look outside through the window. Blair sat next to him, looking out with him.  "VINE TITANS!" he boomed, through a microphone in his suit. "We are here by order of the American government. We are here to take you into custody, where you will then make a choice. Do your jobs properly as government employed super-soldiers; continue with your vigilante ways and face the consequences of your actions; or hang up your masks and tights and go back to school as all good children should. You have ten seconds to lower your shield, or we will enter by force."

She noticed Eclipse outside throwing something at Madros, Blair wondered how he walked out of the door without her noticing. She jumped off the couch to land on her knees, she opened up a pink portal. " Zack... I'm going to have you stay with my parents okay..." She led the dog into the bright portal, it disappeared once he got threw. Blair's body then exploded with many different dazzling colors of the rainbow, with her feet lifting off the ground she began to talk. "I'm ready"

Sector Eleven

Commentary

Super-Human Prison Cell

She stared at him for a long time, using the excuse of her wounds that seemed to be healing much slower than they use to. But then again Talon and Sabre healed differently. they where technically cousins but they had grown up together like sisters might as well call’em as you see’em. And she was right now. Her wounds where much worse than she made it out to be. Though she appeared to be going through no pain as she attempted to re-lodge some pieces of her  she was screaming on the inside. Even now and then she flinched, cringed but on sound escaped her mouth. She would not become prey to any weakness even if she felt she had just been shredded and no was attempting to put herself back together.

This reminded her on the away mission her and her team had to go on. She was still a juvenile no older than maybe 14. It was funny thinking back to those years of hard core training, o mistakes what so every and she still was more human than her sister. Probably for the reason that as a child she didn’t really care about any thing and took nothing to heart, but unlike her Laura took every thing to hart. “Yep family counseling that’s what they need” she murmured.   Her eyes shifted over to Roulette a moment he seemed relived to see her and that gave her pleasure. Never the less she had to think, for truthfully she had no plan. She just did what came naturally. Another fault she had acquired over the years.

But she kept her mouth shut. Any way thinking up a plan was not that hard as long as most of the guards where male. Female she could also deal with but she had no intentions of dealing with them. Blowing part of her battered locks out f her face she finally finished healing the main parts of her body and was ready for action. “Alright” she said as she slid closer to Roulette’s position so they would not be heard. Knowing that most of the cells where being monitored she knew if she was to whisper something to him that it would not work. Pausing a moment she spoke:

 “Sir, with my recent capture I have discovered that this place is heavily armed. The cell walls are made up from a component that is unnatural most likely Adamatium, Vibranium or some kind of new metal making it impossible to penetrate. Never the less I suspect this is a large structure meaning there will be many ways of escape. No doubt the soldiers have resting quarters of some what. And if they do not, we’ll improvise.” She paused gathering her breath thinking back to what happened just before she had been tortured. Flinching slightly due to the unwelcomed memory of the procedure she let out a sight.

The Torture.

She was chained to a metallic table staring into the dim lighting that shone down on her. She was unable to see any thing beyond the table that she laid on. Every thing else where silhouettes of people. This made her feel like she was back at SHIELD or maybe HYDRA but this had a more HYDRA feel to it than SHIELD. SHEILD Was weak every one that worked for the government weak and narrow-minded. HYDRA where the people that exceeded the bounds of inevitability. And so they was definitely a HYDRA look any way. Taking in a deep breath she saw a man approach her position. Remarkably it was the exact same man that shot her in the neck, slapped her and now was going to torture her? Honestly she could tell he wanted to see her suffer but why? What was her connection to him.

Unlike most of her family she recalled her past fully. No messed up mind, Implants, or alteration of memories. Even thing in hr head sadly was all true. But if she had her way it would not have been like that. Her eyes stared into his as he bent his head down and whispered soothingly “Don’t worry dear this won’t take long…” staring at him she rolled her eyes and smiled “Oh don’t worry I planned for this so don’t have to wait on my account”. Chuckling he added “Your smiling. Odd, I’m going to have to put an end to that. And with out any further communication her pressed a button on the device on his hand and sent who knows how many vaults through her body. All she could clearly remember was that he was smiling. Though it all he had that same sinister smile that she knew him for.

Present

Flashing back into reality he continued where she had left off.  But thinking through what she was going to say she knew that this information would be best if the enemy was unable to hear it. For she was aware that hey heard every thing before. Taking in a deep breath she thought to herself “Why, does my mind come up with these situations?”. Looking into his direction she mouthed the words “I’m sorry” and with that she slid her hand to his side of his face and stroked it a few times. After a few moment she leaned forward to kiss him. It was not for pleasure but the only way she could possibly be able to whispere something to him that appeared maybe a little unsuspicious.

It was not what she thought was right, it was what she wanted the people watching them to think. Any way they where Zs members there was always a possibility for a relationship to have started back there. And that would have given the guards watching the Idea that she came here to save her lover. And now that they where captured she is just spending what could possibly be their last night together in heated passion/ But what every they though she needed to be fast. As she kissed his neck she whispered  

“I’m sorry sir but what I have to say must not be heard” stopping slightly to kiss him once more she began to whisper “ We are at cell 42 level 6,  there are only five levels between us and ground. We will have to use some way of escape. Not far from our position is a elevator shaft we should use that to get up top.” Stopping once again she did not even want to stop and think how he felt right now. Sliding her hands down his shoulder she continued “I will be able to get us out of the cell and handle the guards on this level, after that we’ll have about three minuets to get the elevator shaft and climb up.”   Sliding her hands down his back she hugged him tightly “I’ll be able to shut down power but it’ll only be that way for a maximum 7minuest, meaning we will have to scale the elevator shaft in that amount of time or get crushed when the power gets back on”.

Pulling herself away slowly she smiled as she gazed into his eyes “I understand you are in pain” she said glancing over to his wounded hand. “But I promised I’d get you out and I’ll do that”. With that she slid back to her corner with every thin that she needed to say said. She did not bother to look at him again out of shame. She knew what he thought of her, what he thought about what she did. But it was the only thing she could have thought of that would give her time to inform him. Most people thought her to be loose, uncouth, and a slut or hoe. And She guessed in many ways she might have appeared that way. But truthfully she was not. She just made sure she could complete her mission no matter what she had to do. And her mission was to save Roulette.    

Getting to her feet she looked at the camera eyeing their every move. Waving at it she leaped off the metallic wall as her Adamatium nails grew slightly in length. With one swift slash the device was in shambles. Landing on all founds crouching she glanced at her team mate now able to speak in peace. “Forgive me for my actions sir. I saw no other way and will gladly face my punishment for it when we return” . She knocked on the cell door trying to attract attention. “Hay Any body out there!” she shouted through the small gap. “My cell mate’s not breathing, I think you killed him” gladly someone took the bat and soon flung the door wide open. Seeing that Roulette was in the same condition he was in previously he looked at Sabre in anger aiming his weapon at her. She only smiled and nodded her head. “What’s going on her” taking one step toward him she said “I was waiting for you”. A curious expression filled his face as he asked “Why!” “Simple” she said with a sly smirk on her face. Approaching him he raised his gun at her though seemed as if hesitant.

Close enough, she slid her hands down his chest and looked up. His weapon was lowered completely as she whispered “I needed a weakling” With that she jabber her now extended metallic nails into the mans chest. He let out for scream for at the second she stabbed him though with her other hand she had grabbed his neck and was clutching his throat tightly just as she was about to break it. Looking at him as he was dying she growled slowly “’I’m no one’s entertainment”. With that she let go of the body as it slugged to the floor. Licking the blood from her silver talons she looked over to Roulette saying “Remain her and remain calm”. With that she exited the cell and quickly shut it locking it with the key she had gotten from the guard. “Now it’s my turn”.

Now Saber’s powers where deceptive. There was not much known about them. She contained a healing ability some talons and fighting skills. But her trade mark power was phenomenal control. It was something she hated with every thing in her. But she was good at it. Really good at it. Though she had never told any one. People just thought she had a way with guys. The only other person who knew was Talon and that lead to many fights about right and wrong. But the fact was she hated this power, she was ashamed and she did not like to use it. Though she was given this power at the facially for undercover missions. From the age of 12 she was forced to under go training on how to seduce me. When ever they needed to take some one out who happen to be a man she was called in to distract them. Mess around with them and that is what scared her.

After a minuets the cell door was unlocked and an even more blood stained Lilia stood there gun in hand.  Though looking through the cell doors blood could be seem spattered on the walls along with the dead body soft the men she had…..confused. Entering the cell she threw another gun on the floor for Roulette and out stretched her hand to him saying ”The area is secure sir, we may attempt out escape.”    

Nicole got up from the dirty ground, She then looked around she only remembered running from guards she looked at her clothes her orange shirt was torn and her pants were dirty. Nicole started to fly again and see if anyone was alive there had to be someone alive, She went faster, But a group of soldiers said,  How the hell did you live through that blast, We need back up the alien is back! 
 
 
Nicole flew in speed the guards choppers were behind her she turned around and said, I am tired of running and being chased down by guards!!! Sand started going everywhere around the City. The Choppers could not see a thing they yelled, CRAP WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!! She threw a large boulder at the choppers and flew off again, She needed to find somewhere to rest for a little, Her legs were hurting, and her head was pounding from the blast, Then something from the sky went crashing down, It was a man his hair was the color of chocolate, He was wearing a tan top and he looked all dirty, He smiled and said hello Nicole how is everything???
 
 
Nicole smiled and flew toward him and gave him a big hug, DAD!!! She then covered her mouth, Dad you have to get out of here I know its my first time seeing you face to face but every hero is being hunted, He said I know my love that's why i am taking you to space where we live you can be safe from all this, She yelled, NO MY FRIENDS ARE IN TROUBLE AND YOU WANT ME TO GO TO SPACE AND PRETEND THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!!!!! He sighed my love calm down, but before he could say anything else guards with snipers shot him in the chest, Nicole screamed, FATHER NO!!!!!!! She went to land down, But her father said, RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK JUST RUN!!!, She did not take his advice her eyes turn yellow like sand but brighter, rocks started flying everywhere she made one rock hit the building where the snipers were at, And the guards fell off.
 
 
Nicole looked at her father but he was gone, She screamed, FATHER WHERE ARE YOU PLEASE SHOW YOURSELF!!!!!!, Ten guards rolled up don't worry Alien we taking good care of him, She flew away in speed looking around for her father, she could hear men shouting, YEAH RUN YOU LITTLE BRAT RUN LIKE YOU NEVER RAN BEFORE, They started to laugh, But Nicole needed to find her father she smiled ill give you guys a good laugh she made a tornado out of dirt, and it went spinning like a spinning wheel, The tornado caught the guards, Laugh at that jerks, She flew past the Titans Tower, She did not want to go outside and she knew her friends were not in there but out there fighting....

The Return

Present

 Nicole flew through the city after seeing her father taken by the guards, she began to cry, she wanted to kill every guard attacking the city, but she couldn’t do that because she knew that heroes don't kill, she sighed and thought what her father had said, “ Nicole that's why I am taking you to space where we live so you can be safe!!!”. She knew she could not take his advice and leave her friends to die.
 
Nicole looked up at the sky, seeing that the sun had started to set. She looked around to see if any guards were following her and was surprised to see that none were, she could only hear guns firing and screaming off in the distance, she flew towards the ground, checking her pockets and finding a piece of gum, she then opened the rapper that the gum was in and put the gum in her mouth and started to walk. But then suddenly, a group of guards surrounded Nicole, “ Freeze and put your hands in the air! Don't move or we will shoot!!!” ordered one of the guards.
 
 Nicole put her hands up, knowing that it may be the only way to find her father and friends, one of the guards handcuffed her and then threw her in back of a van, there were some kids that had powers in the van with her, they looked dirty and beat up like she was. The van started to drive and then drove into underground tunnel, Nicole then looked at one of the kids, “What is going on here???” she asked. “The army is hunting down mutants or people with powers” said the kid. “Why???” asked Nicole. “Because they don't want to work with them or quit being a superhero” the kid answered. Nicole then sighed again.

After a few minutes, the van stopped and the guards opened the back doors of the vehicle, “Alright, everyone out” ordered one of the guards. Nicole and the other children got out of the van; the guards pushed them into an old empty cell. The guards told them to sit down in some of the old dirty chairs that were in the room, “No!!!” shouted one of the kids. The guard then pulled out his gun and shot a bullet through the kids head, killing him. After seeing the guards’ ruthlessness, Nicole and the rest of the children sat down, the guard then tied the kids to their chairs. A man with goggles, like Nicole’s, came into the room with his sleeves rolled up, “Now its time for a beat down?” said the man as he laughed.  All of the guards then laughed, the man was tall dark skinned man, but you could begin to see that was not a man, but a woman, Nicole was shocked. The women told the men to beat the kids, the women then turned to Nicole and punched her in the face; blood then began dripped from Nicole’s face and onto the floor. The lady then smiled, “I’ll deal with you later, after I finish eating. Let’s go boys!” said the woman. They then left the room, leaving Nicole and the kids tied up all alone.....

The human comet flies through the skies of the planet earth. His flaming aura surrounding his body at full power like a missile or rocket aimed at a target he does not bother to look around or become distracted by anything else. His mind is focused razor sharp like a blade fresh from the heat of the flame. He wants answers. He wants to know why someone he used to call friend had not just turned on his team but turned on the entire world. 
 
"What the he11 is wrong with Funez that little punk thinks he can just play the big old bad I used to be a super hero but now I'm corrupted gig well he's got another thing going. Still none of this makes since. I'm not surprised the government is turning on super beings that been in the work for years now. People who once had power can't stand the fact they now have to live with gods and aliens that make their power useless, but I can't believe they've got Closure being their little dog." 
 
He gets closer and closer to the Funez Industries building. As he streaks across the sky he sees with his solar powered eyes the familiar armor of some of Funez's personal dogs hovering over the building acting as a defensive wall. Solis is not impressed "I'm not impressed............. And I .......... DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOU LITTLE DOGS" The firey super hero flies into the gathering of armored super soldiers and releases a massive wave of fire blasting the soldiers as he meets them. 
 
Many of them fly away in several different directions and a few fall back into the tower itself. Solis flies through one of the whole made by the flying soldiers. "Where Funez I need to make an appoitment. He begins to fly through the building scaring the building workers near to death having to see a flying man on fire. As he flies through the halls he is attacked by one of the armored guards he smashes him into the ground.  
 
He sends him flying with a fire strike melting his armor and makes a giant whole in the building. He starts to trek across the floors looking through each door. The heat from his body triggers the sprinkler system causing more panic than before. Two more armored goons show up trying to stop him. He blasts them back into a near by elevator shaft sending them falling to the bottom level. He then flies into the shaft going up floors trying to find his target. 
 
Another one of Funez seemingly never ending goons shows up and tries to charge at Solis coming from the opposite direction of the shaft. He charges but Solis just hits him with a heat vision blasts and then punches him out of the shaft into a near by office. Soon the buildings automatic defenses kick in and responding to the extreme heat given off by Solis body. Coolant foam suddenly poors into the shaft incasing Solis in a block of foamy ice and then drips taking over the entire shaft and even emerges out the whole Solis made. 
 
But such a thing cannot stop him and he sends out more of his solar fire flooding the tunnel with his heat and rage melting the steel. He flies at incredible speeds like a volcano is beneath him and the stream of magma is pushing him through the skies. The force and heat is so strong the elevator doors burst open and fly out of the building bouncing against the wall of the hall ways. 
 
The heat even continues to climb shooting another even larger whole in the build's roof. The elevator shaft totally inflamed Solis steps out on the floor he was looking for and asks the innocent bystanders a simple question. "I need to speak to your boss can you tell me what room he's in?" A scared and panicked workers points to a set of finely built doors that make up the door way to Funez's office. "Thank you"

Rising Action

My soul feels naked, my soul feels nude.  The dark is my friend, in this lonely mood - Danielle Marionette 
 
Weeping in sorrow the vicious Donna finally broke down, feeling dismantled with no where to turn.  Ashamed of what she had become, the deadly assassin disappeared in a disappointing mood.  Grinning in an odd tone, a final plan emerged on her lap.  Sector Eleven was sent on self-detonation.  If she was meant to be alone, all those who would dare oppose the new world order would need to perish.  Especially, Jonathan II who somehow broke her spell.  Evil and sadistic, the Donna Mary vanished with that final present.  Although, this game wasn't completely over she wanted to put on a show.  For being a neutral was the grandest role to play.

Turning around, the tactical telepath from the seemingly diminished Sector Eleven, was now facing a magnificent beauty.  The castle or main headquarters of the Future Conquerors organization was now in front of the two.  Astonish by the pure beauty of this fairy-tale, words could not describe the emotion she felt.  Maybe determination, for saving the world could set her place in the super-human community in stone.  Then there was the fact of working beside Closure, a man that would probably have a bounty on his head at the end of this climatic conclusion.

"Your the son spawned from this evil whore with a gigantic plan and I know hate being the annoying partner, but to tell you the truth Closure I'm kind of..."

Creaks of an opening gate shocked this glorified duo, and the spotlight on a surprising figure caught the two off their guard.
