[I have started a new eroup that will house all of
the recaps in one place for easy reference. Someday I will go back and put up the old ones, but for now it will start with ths one.] Captain Marvel flies quickly about the building rescuing the threee remaining people in the windows. Iceman cretes a giant ice slide on the side of the building where the fire hydrannt is still spraying and the people on the roof begin to slide to safety. It is an enormous strain for Iceman as he must constantly replinish the ice slide due to the flames quickly melting the underside of it. Once all of the people have slid down to the street, Iceman relaxes his concentration and the slide is immediately melted by the flames. He the begins creating large glacier-like structures on the street which Captain Marvel picks up and strategically places on the burning buildings rooftop. The heat melts the glaciers and the resulting water diminishes much of the fire. This process is repeated several times, each time the flames become more manageable. The fire Department and paramedics show up a short time later and are able to take over the firefighting and tend to the rescued tenants of the building. Iceman sits on the curb exhausted. Marvel lflies down next to him and says " Come on I'll by you a beer at the Gardens." He then hoists Iceman up and they fly off to see SW's wrestilng match.. ***************************************************** Shockwave manages to grab Hogan's knee as it comes up for yet another groin smash and he takes him down to the mat. He gets Hogan in a Figure Four and begins to crank, Hogan screams in agony as muscles and tendons begin to rip. Hogan manages to reverse the hold by reaching behind him and grabbing SW's head. He puts him in a lifling choke hold, cutting off SW's air supply. Then he stands up with SW still in the choke and does a mokey kick to SW's head. This brings SW face to face with Hogan who rears back for a haymaker punch with his unbroken hand. "Say goodnight Gracie, " says Hogan just before the punch lands. The blow sends SW flying backward out of the ring. The forcefield generator kicks in and knocks him back into the ring right into an awaiting elbow smash from Hogan. SW falls to the canvas stunned. The last thing he remembers before blacking out is hearing Judge Mills Lane do the three count and declare Hogan the winner and still reigning Metahuman Wrestling World Champion. He awakes backstage surrounded by the Huntress, Iceman, Captain Marvel and his manager. "You suck kid! Call me when you want to get serious about this,' says his manager and storms out of he locker room. "Don't worry about him," says the Huntress. "You still have a spot on the team if you want it. We could use you." "Sure," says Shockwave. It's probably less dangrous." ****************************************************** A week passes with no incident and no word from Prowler. The team begins to wonder what has become of him and decides to go in search of him in Area 51 Captain Marvel, Iceman, Shockwave, Huntress, and the Unknown Soldier sat at the conference table in the War Room. They were discussing what to do about Prowler's disappearance. It had been decided that the team would go to Area 51, the target of Prowler's mission and the only place they had to start with. Iceman sat at the table drinking a giant glass of ice water, having nearly dehydrated himself saving the victims of the fire the week before. Captain Marvel and the others talked about where to start the search, while Shockwave flipped through the latest issue of MetaWrestleMagazine, looking at pictures of Hulk Hogan beating Shockwave about the face with a shit-covered boot. One picture was a closeup of Shockwave as Hulk's elbow mashed his nose, complete with blood spurting from his nose down his face, his eyes crossed, saliva slinging from his slack lips. The cover of the magazine read, "Hogan Gives Shockwave the Boot!" Shockwave threw down the magazine in disgust, vowing to himself that he would whip Hogan's ass when next they met. He wouldn't be able to get another title fight until he fought a few top contenders though. Shockwave had been #1 contender until his severe beating at Madison Square Garden the week before.His drop in the rankings to #3 hurt worse than his busted nose and black eyes. "I think we should go incognito at first," said Cap. "We can always go to uniform once we need to, and it might be better if no one knows that we are interested in the place. Soldier, did Prowler give you any hints as to how he was going to approach this mission?" "He called one time from some greasy spoon restaraunt nearby to let me know he had arrived. That's the last I heard from him," responded the Soldier. "Then I guess that's where we should start," said Cap. "We can take the Sparrow and land outside military radar range, and take the SUV from there [the Guardians have several normal looking vehicles that they can use if need be, which will fit into the cargo hold of the Sparrow]. Ice, that desert sun might be a problem for you. How much will it affect you?" "I'm not sure, I've never been to the desert,"replied Iceman. "It will probably drain me the same way that fighting the fire did. Maybe worse." Cap continued: "Prowler must have learned something and gotten into trouble. Or maybe just got into trouble. Maybe we'll be able to follow his trail once we're there, learn the same things he learned. Aside from that, we'll just have to go out there and wing it." [Any other comments gang? Keith, we DEFINITELY bring lots of desert supplies, and plenty of water.] When they were finished, Captain Marvel stood up on his chair and bellowed, "Take it awaaaayyyyyyyyyy!" then ran from the room to the Sparrow. Huntress looked at the others and said, "He has to get a new catchphrase. That one stinks." "Yeah, it doesn't even make sense," added Shockwave, who had been slightly startled out of his magazine by Cap's catchphrase. "Time travelling must have really swiss-cheesed his noodle. By the way, I'm hungry....Three orders of bisquits and gravy,two omlets,4 side orders of bacon and 3 orders of hash browns will surfice." |

You look like you are from here, though." He points to the SETI hat. "You work for SETI?" [Here the guy could answer....] Cap continues, assuming the guy acts in a friendly way: "What's your name? I am Melvin, this is Ichabod, Tyrone, and Lurleen," says Cap, gesturing to Ice, Shockwave, and Huntress, in that order. "Pardon Ichabod's dress, he has a skin condition. "Since you are a regular here, you might be able to help us. We are looking for a friend of ours, ...[here Cap describes Prowler physically] who may have passed this way several days ago [if Cap knows the exact time, he says it]. We represent a private corporation investigating extra-terrestrial phenomenon, and our friend, who was supposed to check out the surrounding region here near Area 51, has disappeared. We have been sent by the Home Office to find him and to continue his work. "Have you seen him by any chance? I only ask because he loves a good greasy burger, and this looks like the only place around to get one. [he can answer here..] "Also, you might be able to help us with the second part of our assignment--investigating sightings of UFOs. Personally, I don't believe in them, but the Home Office is interested in researching public opinion on the matter--for marketing. But since you work for SETI, you might actually be able to give us real information on the subject. The Home Office pays handsome consultant fees, and we would really appreciate anything you could tell us. How is the SETI project going, anyway? You know, I have heard that SETI is a government coverup, and that signals from outerspace have already been discovered, but I've never personally seen anything that would support that, though if it were true, we would be very interested in knowing. Everyone thinks the government has UFOs in hangars somewhere, it seems. "Can you help us?" |

"Well, first, tell us everything you can remember aout our friend? did he talk to anyone while he was here? What did he say? Do you remember him ever leaving, and in what direction? Was he carrying anything? "Next, what can you tell us about what you have found here regarding "conspiracy theories?" I'm sure our organization could make a donation to the SETI project, don't you agree Lurleen?" asks Cap of the Huntress. "I'd have to check with the home office, but I'm sure it won't be a problem," says Lurleen/Huntress. "To answer your earlier question Mr. Lewis, we work for a company called the Utopia Foundation. It's very small, you probably haven't heard of it. More than likely we can donate a substantial amount to SETI, provided you can help us." "Like I said earlier, I'm more than willing to help with or without the donation, "says Miller. " I remember your friend sticking around here a good part of the day. He didn't speak to anyone other than to order food. He became very interested in some military guards who stopped in for a bite to eat. He left shortly after they left. He went west on highway 70, the same direction as the guards. To me, it looked like he was following them. He was carrying a large duffel bag, but I couldn't see what was in it." "As far as 'conspiracy theories' go about this place.... the most predominant one is that the US government has an alien spacecraft and/or alien bodies locked up within Area 51. Possibly related to the Roswell Incident in the 1940's Trespassers will be shot on site and aircraft are not allowed to fly overhead. Personnel who work there are flown in from somewhere else daily. You occasionally see them off the post, but they keep to themselves and they NEVER discuss wat goes on at the base. It's also rumoured that much of the base is actually underground. Of course none of this can be proven, since no outsiders have actually been inside the place. If your friend tried to sneak in there, he is probably dead or locked up somewhere in a federal prison." |

"Yeah," says Shockwave. "We don't want to hurt them, because they're under alien control. You think you can blast all of them with your trademark?" "Sure....I'll give it a try." If shockwave agrees to try his shockwave attack, Cap will hover just inches off the ground (to protect himself from the shockwave). If Shockwave doesn't agree, Cap will try to widen his heat vision and heat up several of the attackers' guns. After that, if the soldiers are still attacking, Cap will begin flying past them one-by-one snatching the probes from the back of their necks. While this is going on, if Cap sees that huntress is about to get shot, he will abort his action to protect her (she being the only one of us without armor). Finally, Cap wants to capture at least one soldier with mind control device still attached, to maybe question him and see if he can tell us anything. |

Captain Marvel takes the only controlled soldier (one of those tied up in Huntress's bola arrow) and asks him some questions. Cap asks several questions designed to figure out just how much input the soldier has into his own actions, or whether he is effectively "unconscious" while hte aliens are manipulatinghis body. "Soldier, what is your name? What is your unit? Who is your C.O.? Do you know where you are?" Cap then asks the following quyestions. "How did this control device get into your neck? Do you remember when it happened? Where? Who did it? What is inside area 51?" Captain also asks questions of the other soldiers: "Do you remember anything about how these devices got into your necks? Where did it happen, who did it, where, and why did they do it? Was upper brass in the military involved?" If the soldiers are reluctant to answer, Cap tried to motivate them. "If the military is compromised soldiers, who will protect the country? If there is someone out there who can control our military personel, then we need to defend against it! Were there any ranking officers with you when you were implanted? Any government figures, lawmakers? We need a lead as to how they are getting these devices into people, and why." Cap also talks to the rest of the Guardians (out of hte soldiers' hearing): "Guys, the aliens have infiltrated our military. I am betting they have taken over the entire Area 51 compound and are using it as an earth base of operations." [I need to hear the answers to the questions before I proceed....] Iceamn asks some questions of his own, "what or how can we find out who is supposed to be in control of area 51? what units are supposed to be there? what are they supposed to be doing? or does it not officially exist or what?" |

The Soldier with the device still in his neck answers
Captain Marvel with the following...""I am Private First Class, Daniel Hanson. My C.O. is Captain Ortega. I am in New Mexico." To the second volley of Cap's questions he says," I have no device in my neck. Area 51 does not exist." Cap then proceed to question the other soldiers. the ones without the devices. After his motivational speech one of the soldiers calls out...."I am Captain Ortega. The last thing I remember was being sent out to the landing field. All of us where. None of us knew what was going on. It was all hush huh, as are most things around here. It was a pretty intense situation. The entire compound was out there in full battle gear in the middle of the night. The higher ups and the lab boys were talking excitedly amongst themselves. They all seemed nervous and giddy at the same time. None of us knew what to expect. We saw a huge bright light appear in the sky and begin to descend to the airfield. It was unlike anything I'd ever seen before. but some of the boys said it resembled something they had caught a glimpse of in one of the Hangers that was off limits to grunts like us. The thing landed without making a sound and we were ordered to hold our fire. The thing let out a blinding flash and that was the last thing I remember. And that was." He checks his watch to see the date, "Over four months ago." "Who or what was in that thing I have no idea. But I'm sure they are responsible for these devices. Until I find out otherwise I am working under the assumption that the entire compound has been compromised and is considered hostile." Captain Ortega then looks at Iceman and says. "all of the questions you are asking are classified. I'm not at liberty to answer them at this point. Ordinarily civilians are ordered off of the premises. If they don't comply, they are shot. It's in National Security's best interests. This place doesn't officially exist, and the government wants to keep it that way. I have already said too much as it is, but I figure I owe you all for freeing us of these devices. What are you all doing out here anyway?" The Huntress produces her Guardians Identicard, "we are the Guardians, Captain Ortega. We came here to find out what happened to a friend of ours and have stumbled upon something much larger It seems like you could use our help." " I reckon we could," says Ortega with a wry smile. "Any suggestions?" Iceman asks, "Do your men or yourself communicate with whomever > installed the devices?or is it simply commands to your consious that you > cant or don't even try to fight? is your company expected back or to > check in? can we all go back as your men and covertly try to retake the > area?" > > Captain Ortega says.

" > > The Huntress quickly runs over to the one remaining soldier with the > device still implanted in his neck and quickly rips it out. "Lets hope > whoever is in control of the base didn't hear any of that. I agree with > Iceman's plan. Moving about the base once inside could pose a problem. > Would some of your men volunteer to switch place with us? We could > pose as soldiers and three of your men would be put in the brig. It > would buy us some time." > > "Yes," Ortega says ,' I think that could be arranged. Any other idea?" Captain Marvel walks to Iceman. "I bet you can't wait to get into some air conditioning," he jokes. "Good plan. I'm all for it. Though shockwave may need to wear two soldiers' uniforms because he's so big...." With that, Cappy begins to strip of his clothes. Cap goes along with the plan, and will trade clothes with whomever will fit. He always wears his Marvel Costume under hisclothes anyway, but he dons a soldier's uniform for now. "OK men . Since we were surrounded before we even got close to the base, I am betting Prowler was captured the same way, maybe even by these soldiers. Our first priority once inside should be to find him. Ortega, where is the brig on that base? In fact, why don't you brief us on the general layout--where command center is, where the computers are, where the labs are, vehicle storage, everything. but make it fast. "Also, we should be ready for the worst. Our enemies might have heard our plan while ago, or they might have been alerted the instant that we removed any of these devices from you men. This could be an ambush. We should be ready for that. Ortega, let's hear the plan...." [Keith, I'm not asking you to go through the layout--just say that we all heard Ortega's description, K?] Ortega draw a general outine of the compound in the sand for the Guardians explaining the layout of the facility. The soldiers are all riveted upon the Huntress as she strips down to her panties and bra and trades clothes with one of the smaller soldiers. [You all need to come up with a plan of attack] **************************************************** [OK Bry, here is all the stuff that has happened since you left. Don't say I never did anything for you. ] {Turn 3.7} Prowler was stealthily making his way across the New Mexico desert surrounding Area 51. He was doing some recon to get a feel fro what he was up against. So far it looked pretty damn secure. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to make it in or not. His ultrasonic hearing picked up a strange sound in the nightime sky above him. He began to look for he source of the sound and was suddenly bathed in a blinding light from above him. He couldn't' make out the source... the lights were too bright...almost scorching him. Wind and sand buffeted him from all directions, yet here was still no sound ( at least that a normal human could here) from whatever it was above him. The hue of the light shifted from the blinding whiteness to burning red and Prowler's world immediately went black. [Prowler's wacky misadventures in Area 51 will be continued when Bry gets back online regularly] {Turn 3.11} Prowler's unconscious form lays strapped to what appears to be an > operating table.

This is the one that you still need to resond to. When you respond , reply to Turn 3.14 rather tham 3.13} Prowler awakes and finds himself strapped to a table. He is disoriented and has no idea how long he has been unconscious. He is surrounded by strange looking technological devices with writing on them that seems similar to the writing that was on the mind control devices. They seem to be monitoring his vital signs. Much of the equipment look like futuristic versions of things he had in his own genetic laboratory. Whoever had captured him is interested in his DNA. Prowler reaches out with his senses and learns that he is not alone in the laboratory. There is someone in there with him, or someTHING. The smell is all wrong to be human. The heartbeat....it sounds as if there are two heartbeats coming from the same person. He strains his eyes in the darkness and his infrared vision shows him the outline of a hooded figure asleep near the closed doorway. It is humanoid shaped, but it definitely isn't human. Hardly anything about his place smells human. Prowler strains against the straps pinning his arms and legs. The strap on his left arm breaks free and he begins to free himself the rest of the way as quietly as possible. |

The Guardians and the soldiers successfully make it
into the compound with no interference. As they make their way to the brig to deposit the "prisoners" they pass many other soldiers and scientific types. All of them are implanted with the alien devices. > > "This is just like when Luke and Han infiltrated the Death Star," says Shockwave. > > "What the hell are you talking about?" asks Captain Marvel. > > "Never mind. It's a 20th century thing, you wouldn't understand." > > "Both of you be quiet." chastises the Huntress. > > They reach the brig and lock up the prisoners.

The guard falls unconscious and Ortega pulls the mind control device out of his neck. He grabs the keys and unlocks his men. To his men he says, "You boys stay put here. One of you swap clothes with the guard and pose as him. Fill him in on whats going on when he wakes up. We are going to the lab. If we are captured we should be brought back here, where you all we just let us out again. If we need any back up I'll radio you. Until then maintain radio silence." > > They then proceed in the direction of the lab. > *********************************************** After freeing himself from the bonds, Prowler moves slowly (using his stealth ability to avoid waking the guard) about the compound in search of a sharp object. When he finds one, he sneaks up on the guard and, practicing his zen mind calming techniques (so as to avoid any telepathic signal to the creature), he plunges the sharp object into the base of the creatures skull, while using the creatures own cloak to stuff where he believes there is a mouth (he did hear them talking after all). If the creature dies, he dons the robe and takes a quick but closer look at his surroundings. > > Prowler plunges a scalpel-like instrument into the creatures neck as he holds the hood over it's mouth. It's feet kick frantically as it goes into it's death throws. Finally it slumps down in the chair, dead. > > He pulls the cloak off of the creature. What he > sees amazes and disgusts him at the same time. > > The creature has a long face, tapered at both ends, though pointier towards the mouth, almost beak-like. The eyes are pure black, small and reptilian. It is hairless and has bluish-white skin that is lined with veins. It is very tall, about seven feet, and has corded muscles that are similar to a very thin human. It has three toes that remind Prowler of an Ostrich's feet and three fingers with opposable thumb. > > Prowler quickly puts on the robe, which is slightly too long for him and begins to search the room. It was definitely some type of lab. Genetic in nature. He is sure of that, but the writing and many of the instruments are beyond his ability to understand. " I guess Captain America's story might hold some water after all," he muses. > > His hearing alerts him to the sound of a group of people approaching. He > quickly puts the alien body on the table and covers it with a sheet and hides himself behind the door, scalpel in hand. > > The door opens and a group of five soldiers walk into the room. He recognizes four (or is it three? I can't remember if Prowler has met the Huntress yet) of them by their scent, it is the Guardians. the other he is unsure of. He kicks he door closed and says, "Looking for me?" as he pulls back his hood. [ OK we will just assume that you al fill each other in n what has happened since you last aw each other. What you need to do now is figure out a plan of action, before you are discovered. DUH..... BTW, if Cappy sees the alien he will be flooded with memories of his own time. he will remember that the aliens are called Xargothians.] After the heroes catch up on their respective adventures since last they met, Captain Marvel pulls the sheet back revealing the dead alien. Bright orange blood has pooled around the creature's head from where Prowler inserted the scalpel. The sight of the alien unlocks memories from Marvel's unconscious mind, and he remembers details of his former life--details that will someday never happen, he hopes. [flashback] Captain Vale hid behind the computer console with his A7 autorifle. He was in the basement of what was once the Pentagon, but now served as the Xargothian headquarters. He quietly duckwalked around the console until he could see the alien that operated it. This was a communication console. Vale knew this because he remembered it from before the invasion. Killing the alien with his rifle would bring down a hundred guards, and he would be killed or worse. He placed his rifle gingerly on the tiled floor and drew his knife. At the sound of the blade's tip clearing the metal scabbard, the alien turned around. Vale lunged at him and shoved the knife into the alien's chest. The creature, standing easily seven feet tall, screamed from the pain and threw Vale aside. Vale fell against a large computer server, stunned. The creature lurched toward the communication switch, bright orange blood spurting from the knife wound. It hit a button and began speaking its strange tongue into the mic when Vale struck it from behind with the knife again, this time in the base of the skull. The creature let out a gurgle and slumped to the floor. Vale could hear other alien voices speaking through the com-link. He knew others would now be on their way. He had to hurry. He activated the vault door that this chamber guarded, and entered into the laboratory beyond, A7 held ready. Inside were four more aliens dressed in white robes. Vale shot them dead where they stood. Before him, in the center of the lab, was the Temporal Annex Chamber. He closed the lab door and blasted the lock. Then he went to the Chamber Control Computer. He drew a floppy disk from his pocket and inserted it. Instantly the Temporal Annex Chamber came online. Vale looked at the readout, and saw that the Chamber was set on the year 1996. Vale then inserted another floppy, this one containing his physiological information. Without this, Vale's body would not be reassembled correctly when he reached his destination. As the computer scanned the disk, Vale set an explosive device on the floor and activated it. The device contained a thermonuclear charge that would disintegrate the Pentagon and everything else within a half a mile. He flipped the switch, and the device began its short countdown. Then he strapped himself into the seat and activated the Temporal Annex Chamber. As the Chamber began its cycle, and the bomb counted down, the aliens began cutting through the vault door. The bomb was still at four seconds when they got through, and the chamber was just beginning to activate. The first alien through saw Vale in the Chamber, and just as his body was pulled into the empyreal realm between time and space, the alien blasted the control computer. Marvin Vale remembered nothing more. [end flashback] "The aliens call themselves Xargothians," said Captain Marvel. "I remember now." Some corner of Captain Marvel's mind opened up, and a flood of memories came back. "We have to get out of here," said Huntress. "They won't take long to figure out what's happened. " "Bring'em on," said Ice, who was feeling much better in the air conditioned Area 51 base. Captain Marvel then said, "I think we should try to liberate this place. We should tell the military what has happened here so they can come in and clean house." Captain Marvel felt hatred well up in him or the aliens as he remembered what they did, or would eventually do, to earth. "So are we going to liberate the area by debugging the men? oder was?" asks Iceman. Shockwave occupies his time by picking lint out of his belly button. He never cared much for plotting and planning, he mainly liked to hit things. Besides all of that the lint was fascinating. How did it get there? He never could understand that. |

He stands on a wasted battlefield. The Xargothians have just landed their shock troops after having obliterated hundreds of american, russian, and chinese jets. Captain Vale stands at the head of his company of special forces, his A7 blasting at the advancing alien troops. . . . Captain Marvel stands in the hallway in the Area 51 base. Prowler says: "I think I should duck out of here and try to find that mind-control device. What do you think? Can you hold them off?" Captain Marvel answers Prowler's question. "Yes, we can hold them off. Try to find that transmitter and take it out." He quickly pulls off his weapon harness and gives it to Prowler. The harness has three grenades and extra clips for the M16, which Marvel also hands over to Prowler. Captain Marvel then takes off flying down the hallway toward the alien, fists outstretched. He flies full force into the alien.... [Does icecream not have some type of darkness to impede others sight if so he would like to exercise such on the area being advanced upon by said aliens. if not then he should like to place extremely low temperatures in same said area.if this has no effect i should like to pulvarize them (if possible aliens only) with shards of ice,all the while ofcourse taking every precation to insure my safety (within reason ofcourse)] Shockwave, completely oblivious to the events going on is acting out a mock wrestling match wiith two pieces of bellybutton lint he has fashioned into small humanoid forms...."You are no match for me, Shockwave." voices Shockwave for the lint in his left hand. " Blow it out your ass, Hogan!" says the lint in the right hand. Shockwave then has the two lint warriors attack one another, making cheesy sound effects as they strike at one another. |

Captain marvel flies full force into the alien standing
in the doorway. The two of them slam into the wall behind the alien and Cap hears a satisfying crunch, his hands continue through the alien's body and into the wall behind him. He is splattered with orange blood as he pulls his hands free. > >A large group of Xargothians,[about 20 of them] rounds the corner and opens fire with laser-like energy weapons upon the group [they are on the opposite end of the corridor of Prowler-he will be running away from them not towards them]. > >"Take that Hogan! and that! and that !and that!!!! Shockwave screams as his Shockwave lint-warrior takes the upper hand in his mock wresting match. > >He is caught comp;letely by surprise as several energy beams slam into his body, one catches him square in the face. The blasts burn like fire, but don't penetrate his tough hide. The one that hits him in the face feels like acid being thrown into his eyes. he blinks repeatedly and quickly finds that..."I'M BLIND!!!!" > >Iceman quickly throws up an icy fog to obscure the aliens aim and begins to rapidly decrease the temperature in the area where the Xargothians are located. A few drop to the ground shivering from exposure and frostbite. "Must the mighty shockwave have sight to release his mighty shockwave?" ponders Iceman Shockwae, still blinded,, runs full force into the twenty or so aliens!!! Captain Marvel stands in the hallway, blood dripping from his fists. Further down the hall he sees the effects of Iceman's power as the aliens collapse from the extreme cold. Fog obscures his vision, but he does not care. He is in another world. In his own time, Captain Marvel had wished a thousand times that he had the upper hand on the aliens. The Xargothians had invaded earth by storm, and victories had been very rare for earth's forces. Captain Vale had seen hundreds of his men die at the hands of the aliens. In those days he had been just a normal person, and he had been powerless against the superior technology of the invaders. But now the table was turned. Still half in a flashback, Captain Marvel clenches his bloody fists and howls a challenge to the aliens down the hall. He is enraged. He flies straight into the cold mist, his laser vision sweeping ahead of him to do as much damage to the aliens as possible. Then he is among them. With ferocity that comes from a lifetime of fear and hatred, he tears into the aliens with his bare hands and his laser vision, lashing out in all directions against his enemies. [Keith, Captain marvel is in a frenzied state. He is ignoring his own defense in order to kill or maim as many aliens as possible. He is combining laser vision attacks with fist and kick attacks, knockbacks, whatever is appropriate to the closed hand-to-hand combat. He is flying during the entire process. If he can't see through the fog, he spreads his laser vision until he hears or sees it hit, then flies straight through whatever alien his laser vision struck (thus using his laser vision to target in the fog). He tries not to shoot his comrades with his laser vision, keeping it toward this end of the corridor. >Prowler, armed with the weapons Cap gave him, takes off in the opposite direction, heading for the source of the mind control signal. It is hard to hear it over the sounds of the combat and he must concentrate. > >"Wait up," he hears the Huntress say "We are coming with you" Prowler is joined by the Huntress and Captain Ortega. "You might need some backup." she says. > >The three of them make their way down the corridor as quickly as possible without drawing undue attention to themselves. As they round another corner they see a large group of mind controlled soldiers headed their way. > > >"You guys handle these soldiers," says Prowler," I am going to try and get past them and get to that sound. [even though there are several of them, prowler will try to get by. he may have to use a fighting retreat (so to speak)] He waits until the others engage and then will make his move. ***************************************************** BATTLE LAYOUT [Picture a "U" shape, where each part of the U is a hallway. The group is curently at the bottom of the U or the South end. The lab door is in the same hallway you all are currently in on the Northern section of it, towards the Western hallway. CAp is very near the corner to the western hallway, that the aliens have just come around. These are the ones that are opening fire and currently being fought against. Prowler, Huntress, and Ortega are on the opposite end. They have just rounded the corner of Eastern Hallway and see the soldiers heading in the direction of the group. All of the doorways are on the innermost part of the U shape, if that makes any simce. There is only one other doorway in the hallway you all are in. It is located along the same wall as the lab door,but towards the Eastern end of the Souhern hallway. In short you are being set upon on both sides, with no visible means of escape, unless the other doorway is an exit, which it isn't] |

He feels the temperature drop as he draws near them. He cannot see through he icy fog created by Iceman but the aliens are standing close enough to one another that it doesn't matter. He grabs the closest one and throws him into the others, he blasts with his laser vision, he kicks, he punches, and it is good. His bloodlust is in full force as he hears Shockwave entering the fray. Shockwave wasn't sure what had zapped him, but he could hear the sounds of battle ahead in the hallway. Not being one to turn down a scrap, Shockwave charges into the melee. He hears blasters, being shot, and occasionally a few strike him. They sting, but this only makes him angrier. He flails wildly with his huge fists and strikes down several opponents. It is very cold in this battle. Shockwave has n o idea why. As shockwave continues the onslaught.......he will occasionaly throw his fists down to the earth for a trade mark "Shockwave" just to throw them off guard. He will cosistantly mix his attacks up as much as possible. Iceman continues to maintain his Ice fog and lower the temperature. More aliens drop from he extreme cold. The coldness doesn't seem to be slowing down Captain Marvel or Shockwave, so he keeps it up. Occasionally a stray alien runs from the fog and Iceman shoots him with his Ice blast. Iceman would like to open up on the beings we're currently engaging, with my patented and deadly icicle missles. When Captain Marvel hears Shockwave enter the fray, he is fully brought back to reality (rather than in half-flashback mode). To keep from harming his comrade, he spreads his heat vision when he uses it, knowing that the reduced penetration of the weakened beam will not penetrate Shockwave's hide but will still allow Cap to locate the aliens. He moves through the aliens like a wolf among sheep, tearing limbs from their bodies and beating them with the bloody stumps. He catches one of the Xargothians from behind and twists his head clean off his shoulders, then hurls the severed head at another alien, spoiling his aim as he prepared to blask Shockwave with his puny blaster. Captain Marvel and Shockwave pummel and beat the aliens until the floor is slick with orange blood and body parts. "This is for the 13th company, whom you slaughtered after they surrendered!" he yells as he punches his fist straight through one Xargothian who had never heard of the 13th company. "and this is for..." and so on. . . . Captain Marvel is still highly pissed, since there are still aliens standing. He intends to kill them all, and will not allow them to surrender unless it is just one whom they can torture for information. Marvel HATES the aliens. And secretly fears them. "Good luck Prowler," he thinks between dealing killing blows. [It isn't clear how many aliens are left at this point, but there are still plenty left to keep you occupied for awhile] ********************************************** Captain Ortega steps out in front of the oncoming soldiers, " As your commanding officer, I order you to stand down!" he shouts. The soldiers stop their advance, and seem to ponder this for a moment and then they open fire. Ortega jumps back behind the safety of the corner. " It was worth a shot," he mutters . " Allow me," says the Huntress, and fires off two quarrels from her handheld crossbows. The three of them see a bright flash of light from the corridor the soldiers are in as the fist quarrel hits. "Magnesium bolt, " she explains. Then a hissing sound is heard and the sound of coughing soldiers fills the corridor. "Tear gas bolt, " she says. Ortega hands Prowler a gas mask which he quickly puts on and charges through the group of blind and hacking soldiers. They are too concerned about their own welfare to take much notice of him and he makes it through with little incident. He sticks to the shadows and tracks the sound to what appears to be a large hanger located off of the building he is currently in. He hides behinds some crates across the closed entryway o he hanger to get a better view of the hanger. the hanger doors slowly slide open and two robed Xargothians walk out an make their way along an adjacent hallway. Prowler darts into the hanger as the doors close behind him. It is very dark inside the hanger, but Prowler's infrared vision quickly adjusts to he change. In the center of the hanger sits a large disc shaped spacecraft [It is about the size of the Millennium Falcon]. The spacecraft lets of an eerie glow from it's many lights. Prowler is unable to tell if anyone is onboard the craft , but there are four Xargothians standing guard outside of it. Two of the guard are standing on either side of the catwalk that leads into the craft, and the other two are patrolling the perimeter of the craft. The ultrasonic sound is definitely being emitted from the spacecraft. It is almost deafening to Prowler's hypersensitive hearing. [Remember that you are armed with an M-16 and a some hand grenades.] Prowler spends a bit of time noticing whether the guards notice him. He is not aware of what kind of senses these creatures have. As he stands still, he tries to look the ship over, hoping that he can spot an entrance of some sort, or something that woulld be an ideal place to put a grenade. If the aliens do not see him, he begins to creep closer to the two who are further from him. He is trying to move toward the ship in such a way that none of the aliens would have a direct line of sight on him. As he moves, he pulls the m16 to his shoulder. He might hit two of them at once, hoping taht he can reduce his foe to two, and perhaps take the others out when they round the ship. However it depends on if he sees a proverbial exhaust pipe within which to stick a grenade. ____________________ |

Iceman drops his fog and cold field and begins firing
icicle missiles at the Xargothians. Several are fatally impaled b the icy daggers, shrieking inhuman curses in their alien tongue. With the fog lifted Captain Marvel , is now able to perceive his sworn enemies and it fills him with revulsion and hatred. Images of battles yet to be fought flood his mind in a torrent and he exacts his bloody revenge with savage brutality. All of the fighting techniques he had acquired fighting with the Resistance are forgotten as he mauls his opponents with his bare hands. The smell of burning flesh fills the corridor as he unleashes his heat vision. Shockwave's sight is slowly returning, he can see vague outlines of his opponents now. He sees another group of Xargothian Warriors coming to the aide of their comrades and he quickly slams his fists upon the ground, sending the alien reinforcements spiralling into the air. Captain Marvel keeps on fighting, assuming there are more aliens to attack. When they are all gone, he will regroup with ice and shockwave and try to locate huntress and ortega (mmm, those taco shells) and eventually prowler "dido" says Shockwave, inexplicably. **************************************************** Prowler creeps closer to the ship , taking care that none of the Xargohian guards notice him. Taking aim with the M-16 he sets it to automatic and unloads a full clip into the two guarding the entryway of the ship. They are nearly cut in half by the blast and Prowler quickly crosses the distance between himself and the ship, loading a new clip as he runs. The other two Xargohians are quick to respond and open fire with their blasters. Prowler dances between the blasts with inhuman dexterity, and bounds up the catwalk leading into the ship. He finds himself in a room that appears to contain several coffin-like modules. With the other two aliens on his tail he doesn't have time to inspect them, but suspects that they are probably suspended animation chambers. Prowler quickly hides behind one of them and waits for the two aliens to come into the room. They enter cautiously, allowing only one to move further into the room as the other covers him. They repeat this pattern several times, moving ever nearer to Prowler as they slowly inspect the room. One of them talks into a communication device. No doubt calling for backup. Prowler knew that he had to dispatch them quickly, find a way to disable the master control, which was somewhere onboard the ship, and flee before the Xargothian reinforcements arrived. As they creep closer, Prowler shoots at both of them. If they go down, he then concentrates to see if he can pick out the precise location of the sound. When he finds it, he places two grenades gingerly next to the device, carefully pulls the pins in both of them, and runs out of the ship as fast as he can, heading for the crates he was hiding behind. IN a word, he blows the mother fucker up! |

The other takes a defensive position behind one of the many cryogenic tanks in the room. Prowler shoots at the darkened glass atop the tank and it shatters ,releasing freezing gas into the alien's face. As the alien stands up screaming, Prowler finishes him off with the remainder of his clip. He was now down to just one clip and two hand grenades. He calms his mind and focuses his attention on finding the source of the ultrasonic signal. It seemed to be coming from somewhere above him in the ship. After a quick search Prowler finds a ladder that leads up to the next level of the ship. Climbing up he finds himself in what is no doubt the bridge of the ship. The sound was coming from an orbed shaped piece of machinery in the center of the room. Prowler places the two grenades on either side of it, pulls the pins, and runs like hell. He hears the explosions from inside he ship as he dives behind the crates he was initially hiding behind. The ultrasonic frequency was no longer heard, but a series of explosions was. The grenades had set off somesort of chain reaction in the ship. Prowler dashes for the hanger door and opens it just wide enough to slip through as the whole ship explodes. The hanger door is blasted from it's hinges and goes careening across the corridor, smashing into the opposite wall with a metallic clang. Prowler begins sprinting back towards his companions as the alarms begin to sound. *************************************************** Captain Marvel, Shockwave and Iceman are still in the thick of it. More and more Xargothians were showing up, and the trio would soon be overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. Alarms began sounding, and the sound of rushing feet and automatic weaponfire could be heard coming from the opposite end of the hall. The three Guardians were soon joined in their fight by the Huntress, Captain Ortega and a large group of soldiers. "Prowler must have disabled the device!"shouts the Huntress," these boys are on our side now." Ortega is shouting orders into his radio, trying to coordinate attacks within the compound and get a sense of the overall situation. The sounds of battle can be heard ringing from every direction in the compound as the freed soldiers quickly turn on their alien captors. With the help of he soldiers the tide is quickly turned and the Xargothians beat a hasty retreat dow the hallway. A detachment of soldiers is sent in pursuit, with a another unit closing in from the opposite direction. **************************************************** Hours later, the compound is now safely back under the control of the US military. No aliens were left alive and all of the devices have been removed from the soldiers. Captain Ortega approaches the Guardians and Prowler(who joined in the battle), "Of course I don't need to remind you al that this never happened. Plausible deniability and all of that. If the US public ever larned that there were alien forces trying to take over the world, their would be mass chaos,"says Ortega " That said, we owe all of you a hell of a lot. You risked your asses and saved us from a potentiall worlwide clusterfuck. I'd give you all medals of honor if it were up to me. Unfortanatelly you are going to have to be unsung heroes on this one. If you ever need any favors, don't hesitate to give me a call." [What you guys do from here is up to you. This is the end of the first story-arc.
