Issue 9: Rise of the Apocalypse

[HSummers]

Spider-Man leaps off of the wall of the tunnel once his Spider Sense goes off, landing next to Ghostsabre. "So...who should we hit now?" Spider-Man throws another web line at the Omega/Tooth Tangle, just to keep them down. Strike: [dice=20+12][rand=12366838155013249278091425780199630988145986982490549913187489153976]

"Dear." Gambit says to Tally. "If your powers don't work on Presence, try them on someone else, like Sabertooth, Omega Red, or our dear friend Glory, here."

[dakota]

" Promise me? You?" War scoffed as she backed away from Cap. " I want nothing from you. Especially false hopes. You might be a hero to everyone else, but not me.She looked at Gambit," But you have it wrong, I joined Apocalypse freely " She takes the opportunity to lash out with a heal kick meant for Cap's head [dice=20+9]


Tabitha looked at Spiderman," Why are you asking me? If I didn't know they'd yell at me, I would have let her hit you."

Both Sabertooth and Omega Red were struggling and snarling to escape, but then both of them went silent. Spidey senses went into overdrive as they did.


Aura struck the wall, and soon found it was much more solid than she had expected as she slammed into the energy created wall [dice=6][dice=6] damge from the impact and stop. The Presence burst out laughing , " You are not heroes to stop us, merely entertain us."[rand=184073285665494702126412205156341637548083555244767261495950639585]

[dice=20+12] (31 Shield Parry)

"GhostSabre! Blink! Gambit! Take out Presence! Aura! Assist Spider-Man!" Captain America barks out, before turning to the young woman.

"I'm sorry I let you down, ma'am." as he throws a KO punch to her jaw

[dice=20+7] (20 to strike)

Tally then hearing the suggestion then turns and aims at one of the assailants listed. Not sure which is which she goes off one of the others that are attacking. Actually she does know sabretooth so decides to attack the other one instead. But she does ensure that she flies far enough away so no immidiate attack can be done by Presence.

Strike - [dice=20+7] = 19
Damage - [dice=8][dice=8] = 9 (Radiation)[rand=591331337290577181510191405039421616492217407423717625657148534601]

[dakota]

Glory tried to evade the Captain America's KO punch [dice=20+11], barely spinning away from the blow. As she did, she snarled," Is that the best you can do?"

As she spun, her leg snapped out to sweep Cap's out from under him [dice=20+7]



Aura hit her mark, but nothing seemed to phase the Presence" Child, you are starting to bother me[rand=543941934748487352491025754568512139988582222586104979361626494666]

[sasqaricious]

(ooc - actually I was trying to hit Omega red unless I misread, and we know how that can be with me, lol)

Aura flies higher and aims for Omega Red. Or at least she hopes it is Omega red as she knows not which person is which other then Sabre Tooth.

Strike - [dice=20+7]
Damage - [dice=8][dice=8][rand=740953721303769640340626070406405882661886802505747571884681698107]

[HSummers]

Looking at Ghostsabre, he says "You are so NOT invited to my birthday party!" Just then, his Spider-Sense raises a red flag. "Spidey Sense. Can this possibly get worse?" Spider-Man does a backflip ([dice=100] out of 98%) to avoid whatever is coming. He looks around to see if anything is incoming. If not, he piles on more webbing for Omega Red and Sabertooth.[rand=90746841611906649242843127534209467813899085228538548870014674363]

"Sabretooth? Joining up with the losing side? what kind example is that?" she chided him. He had to be mind controlled...if she could get him alone and port out of the fight with him she'd be able to reach him...She had to because the other option was not one she would like.


Blink kept mobile drawing out a a trio of pins in each hand, charging them. She needed to penetrate the defenses Presence.

To best attack she through a blade at a near by object and tried to port above Presences and with in her shield. the trick was to be able to dodge as she did.

With all the action, Gambit was able to slip off to the side. He was staring at the roof, trying assess where he should blow it to cause debris to fall on Presence.

Demolitions: 89% [dice=100] Pass

Prowl: 60% [dice=100] Fail - walked on a bottle

Advance math: 60% [dice=100] Failed, which means no cool trigonometric explosions with cars flipping over onto people. Just gonna be a simple drop.

Detect Ambush: 60% [dice=100] Pass[rand=879229687988571871926204133151068252998016114086337534626743331]

[dice=20+11] (24 to parry with his non-shield hand)

Captain America catches the kick in his free hand and tosses the young woman to the ground.

[dice=20+7] (17 to strike)

"Listen very carefully, young lady. I've been to your reality, and I've seen what's become of it. I know you've had a hard life, but that doesn't entitle you to whatever sense of rage you have, nor to hurt others. I lost my entire family before I was your age - I saw poverty, racism, and a country torn against itself in the darkest days it had ever seen. And then, I saw a war begin that I knew would engulf the entire world. I learned one thing from those dark times; that there is always hope, and there's always a way. Find a way, and reject this darkness."

[dice=100] (62 to Trust/intimidate)[rand=6461802941234829825540101780774982639463177760899370684359970778]

" It's all about you. It always is." Glory scoffed. She didn't stand, merely hovered to an upright and defiant pose a foot off the ground so she was slightly above eye level. " You were dead while I was still young and that was all I heard growing up. Being compared to the great Captain Steve Rogers America, and how he would have been disappointed in me for how I turned out. You know what," she pointed at Cap, " I don't care. I knew there was a chance someday I'd meet you and find out just how great you were, but I don't give a damn. You fought a war," she thumbed her chest," I've lived one my entire life. Tabby knows, , we struggle in a war most don't even know is going on just to stay alive for being born what we are. So save your holier than thou routine for someone else, I hate you for what you did to us too much to buy into it."

Glory swooped to recover her own shield before landing to face Cap, her eyes studying him to anticipate his next move.


From Gambit's position, he could tell it would be difficult to drop anything on the .Presence without getting him to move.

Blink soon saw the err in her planning as the Presence merely let the pin fly at him, striking the forcefield he had projected around himself. At the same time, Tabitha through herself at him, only to stalled as he locked a grip on her and grinned visciously.

Aura's blast strikes, but it's clear Omega Red is up to something when he didn't acknowledge, and Spidey knew that the Russian was what was setting his senses off. Then the webbing covering both he and Sabertooth exploded away from them, Omega's coils flailing wildly while Sabertooth seemed llifeless as he slumped to the ground.

"and yet you still wear the colors, and carry a shield." Steve smiles. "That's a contradiction, isn't it? And what would your mother say to all of this?"

Cap takes a defensive position - he'll let her come to him.

[dakota]

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER!" Glory shouted, clearly upset by Cap's comment. She came at him as he wanted, but flying shield first with all the speed she could gain in the short distance [dice=20+11][rand=61515631462728477762123023192973394958808686992947898834006679663]

[dice=20+11] (27 to dodge)
[dice=100] (74/98 backflip)

With the precision borne of thousands of hours of practice, the Sentinel of Liberty times his upward leap to sail over the flying woman's head, as he somersaults in the air and lands to disarm her.

[dice=20+5] (12 Disarm strike)[rand=773418686058685605008332384311914207080668422978347525586595858837]
