Rob sighs. "Well...I think it comforts the rest of the
team that the family cat is digesting in your stomach."
~ A Log from some X-Force Epilouge.
PROLOUGE
A purple glow stands out in a darkened outer space world.
Flying at incredible speed, the Purple Flame speeds
through space debris, destroying whatever comes to close.
It seems to not stop or brake for anyone has it flies
in a strange uncharted course. Until it is stopped by
an exact duplicate of itself. A blue flame...seemingly
just as powerful as the purple flame, making a collision
with its clone. The two flames clash and an enormous
after math shook the galaxy as the mighty Titians continue
their battle.
The Purple Flame igniting its might in purple-hellish
energy sends a blast straight at the blue titan. Preparing
for such an attack the Blue Flame dodges and counters
with its own devilish blaze. At first neither fiery
opponent seemed to have an advantage over the other.
Exchanging blows after blows. Neither had the upper
hand. The battle between the two seemed endless until
finally the Blue Swarm pummeled the Purple foe with
incredible speed and accuracy, knocking the purple blaze
off course and out of its way. The Blue swarm's face
emerged. White-Face with an enormous fist. Soon a body
took shape. A large robot-like humanoid with orange
and white features. Blue outlined most of its armor.
A face of purity and serine. It seems peace and kindness
was this creatures place in the universe.
As for the other...the purple flame...who was banished
far away from the battle…. It lurked with evil energy.
A hideous beast lurking inside was knocked off course
and was hurling through space at warp speed. The Purple
warrior knew that this battle was only the beginning.
He must seek more life to consume to become stronger.
To spread its disease and evil throughout the galaxy.
But where will he start? What will his first destination
be? Only time will tell....
********************************************
Megalopolis streets lit up with bright and blinding
lights, as hordes of cops continue their chase after
a lone man. Robotic and Organic teams of law enforcers
attempted to ambush the man. The man however wasn't
to be underestimated. With amazing agility, and stealth,
the man leaped over a 10 foot wall with little resistance.
Both Organic and Robotic police workers couldn't jump
as high as their prey. The man, with his face hidden
continued to try to outrun his pursuers. And with his
superhuman abilities, he found he had little trouble
doing so.
The man stopped to rest near a deserted and wrecked
building. Pulling his razor sharp staff aside, he grinned
nastily.
"Finally...I
have found it. The Crime Wave will shift in their graves
when they see that the mighty City Garage has finally
done what no other has." City Garage lifted a blue crystal
from his bag. It glowed and reflected its incredible
and warm blue light of his face. "Now, this stupid and
condemned city will bow down to my awesome power!"
It was then City Garage heard a car approach. He immediately
knew it was the cops and he quickly rose to his feet.
"Time to try out my new weapon..." He smirked vilely.
The man, who had a pale and ugly face with black, muddy
hair, wore mostly white. He looked like a janitor from
the first appearance...but something about him was evil...and
twisted. Something that any person would fear just by
glancing at him. City Garage quickly inserted the blue
gem stone to his staff. The blade at the top quickly
started glowing with blue energy.
City Garage then heard footsteps approaching. Only strong
footsteps. "Ahhh..." He murmured to himself. "They sent
in the robot police. Smart they are. Only this jewel
will still hurt them." He smiled with a grin. Just as
the foot beats picked up, they stopped. Leaving the
janitor alone in the darkness. City Garage panicked
quickly. "What's....goin' on!?" He spoke aloud. City
Garage stepped cautiously in the dark area, observing
his surroundings. Expecting anything to come out from
the pitch blackness that had cornered him from all sides.
A sound came from the distance. The sound of something
approaching fast. It sounded like metal flying through
the air. A familiar sound. Something Garage had heard
before. But he only had seconds to remember when a large
bunny-eared like blade came slashing by City Garage's
face. It had missed him by mere inches. The Blade had
seeped and sliced its way into the wall behind Garage,
leaving an ugly mark in its wake. City Garage's heart
must have jumped straight into his throat. Turning to
the blade he had recognized immediately. As the sound
that came seconds before impact.
"Cutman!
Where are you?" He spoke with his fists clutched. Nobody
said anything. The silence remained. City Garage was
getting frustrated. "COME OUT AND PLAY DAMNIT!" He said
slicing his weapon into nothing but thin air.
A figure flew by at lightning speed. City Garage didn't
make it out. As soon as he tried to picture it, another
figure flew by. It left nothing by haze behind. A blur.
Another appeared. And then another. Sweat rolled down
City Garage's face. "What is that!?...." He spoke aloud.
City Garage then accessed the blue orb which sat atop
his staff. Its magic surrounded City Garage in a blue
electric haze.
At that moment action took place as four figures rose
from their hiding spot and emerged to face City Garage.
"You're
rain of terror ends now City Garage!" The largest of
the group spoke in high tone. City Garage grinned a
nasty stretch of a smile. Recognizing his enemies as
the Crime Fighters....The Sinister Six. "We'll see....but
now I have ultimate power! I will strike fear into your
very souls!"
The four figures stood back ready for battle. The largest
of the group. Gutsman was smart and leaded his team
with responsibility and honor. The smallest of the group.
Cutman. Enjoyed battle as any. His razor sharp blades
proved that. A heavy set character, Bombman. Though
lacking in brains, he makes up with enormous power.
The forth member looked the most threatening. With fire
blazing atop his stove-like head. Fireman was his name.
It seems the four warriors had claimed victory in the
battle with the janitor City Garage. And they knew the
assistance of the remaining two members wasn't needed.
Or so they thought...
City Garage held his blue orb in front of him. Letting
its warm glow surround his body. The four members of
Team Sinister Six were forced to cover their eyes in
the blue light which now engulfed the entire area. The
Policemen which had finally caught up to the thief were
forced to abandon the sight, unless they wanted to suffer
temporary blindness. It was then, The Sinister Six finally
caught view of their adversary.
Standing at least 14 feet. Was City Garage. A hideous
and enormous beast. The blue orb somehow mutated him
to this awful thing which now stood before the startled
four.
"Shit!"
Fireman said aloud. City Garage without hesitation started
his battle assault by smashing his enormous claw into
the ground, causing a minor tremor. The Four quickly
dodged the attack, but the tremor hindered their speed.
Gutsman attempted to try a frontal attack but was swiped
out of City Garage's way. City Garage approached Cutman
and he quickly started to retreat. City Garage continued
swiping at Cutman, damaging buildings, destroying cars
and just about anything his claws sliced into. Aimlessly
missing his prime target. Cutman.
Though still on the run, Cutman was chased by the giant,
it was only a ploy as Fireman let loose a wall of flame.
Engulfing the big brute in shear ignited horror. Noticing
it was doing little damage Gutsman snuck up behind Garage
and picked his enormous body right over his head, then
hurled him onto the city street ahead. Nothing seemed
to damage this beast.
Before Garage could get up onto his feet, Cutman had
plowed several of his Rolling Cutters into the animal's
skin. Though they pierced through the scales, the creature
took little notice to them as he continued to rise to
his feet. Could nothing stop this beast!
Bombman attempted to plant landmines on the field, but
the creature didn't seem to notice them as he walked
over them, slashing at any S6 member in the vicinity.
"The
Orb!" Gutsman spoke loudly. "Aim for the Orb!" He shouted
again. The blue orb. Which shined brightly on City Garage's
forehead seemed to be the source of his power. So all
attacks were now based on that orb.
Whether of extremely sharp hearing, or shear coincidence,
City Garage immediately started protecting his weak
spot. However it wasn't enough. Fireman blazed him again
with fire, which made Super Chaos raise his hands in
pain. Cutman and his amazing aim shot a Rolling Cutter
straight for the orb which lay upon City Garage's head.
It took immediate effect as the blade shot and sliced
its way into the core of the crystal. The orb shattered
and blue electricity turned and attacked the first thing
the orb was attached to. City Garage. The tables turned
and City Garage was electrocuted by his very own weapon
of mass destruction.
After an entertaining light show City Garage's orb was
destroyed and he transformed back to the Janitor he
once was. The local authorities took over from there.
"I
got to admit, he almost had us this time." Cutman said
as he watched the police restrain City Garage and place
him in a squad car.
"I
know...but he never learns." Fireman spoke shortly after.
"I guess since the threat is gone, we should detransform."
"Yes
IRA. Before the press shows up." The four figures quickly
run to an abandoned alley. And sure enough...the press
pulled up in their vans and came out with video cameras.
Seeing shadows in the alley and then a bright flash,
four young adults emerged from the alley. One clad in
a red shirt and shades. Wearing blue pants. Tim was
his name. Scott, a slightly overweight kid, in a yellow
shirt and baggy jeans. Long Brown hair and blue eyes
made up Jason. And finally a Hispanic kid with black
hair. IRA. They were the four armored members of The
Sinister Six moments before. But now they remain secret
citizens.
Tim lead the other three away from the action paced
area where they had fought just moments before. But
it was too late.
"Hi,
this is Pamela Drake of KVLA News; can you tell us what
happened here?" A news reporter being the sneaky witch
that she was had caught them the moment they left the
alley. She sprung instantly like a wolf attacking its
meal.
"Well...we
saw this big fight. And we wanted to video tape it...but
it was too destructive." Scott said to the camera. Tim
put his head to his hands...but what did they have to
lose? The news reporters had no idea that they were
the ones who put an end to the danger.
"Yeah,
it was pretty neat. Watching The Sinister Six in action.
They are my heroes!" Tim smirked with a corny smile.
Jason found himself laughing to himself after hearing
Tim's statement.
Whether lack of interest to the reporters part or Tim
signaling to her that they had to go, the interview
ended quickly. The four figures laughed to themselves
as the press tried to get a statement from City Garage
who still was upset with his loss.
That moment a beep went off. Tim pulled out a little
device from his pocket and activated it. An image fizzled
in and out near the center of the device. Tim smacked
it against his knee to get it focused.
"A
call from HQ" Jason said stating the obvious.
"Hello....hello."
Tim spoke hoping the receiving end would relay his message.
Finally a figure appeared on the device. A head shot
of a black haired kid in glasses came into focus. Looking
a little like a nerd, the clad adjusted his glasses
so he could see Tim and the others.
"Glad
to see you guys survived yet another battle." He said
to Tim.
"Sorry
you couldn't make it Gary, but you and Andon offered
to do the morning chores." Tim spoke. "By the way, were
we on the news?"
"You
bet, Crashman of Wily's Warriors called and said nice
job." Gary replied.
"Glad
to hear we have so much support, we are on our way back
now." Tim was ready to close connection when Gary spoke
again.
"There's
something else...." Gary sounded nervous.
"What
is it?" Tim said with the others leaning over his shoulder
at Gary's fizzled image.
"After
watching your story, there was a sighting of a meteor
which crash landed near the outskirts of Megalopolis."
Gary reported.
Tim and the others raised in eyebrow. It was then a
spiky red-haired youth got on the line next to Gary.
He was dressed as a gutter punk. But being a pacifist
he never really liked violence. "Here's Andon." Gary
spoke.
"We
really need to check this out." Andon reported. "It
could be dangerous if it has radiation particles." He
finished.
"No,
let the authorities take care of it. We are supposed
to stop crime, not investigate space debris. Await our
arrival at HQ. Gutsman out!" Tim closed connection.
The four figures quickly ran into the darkness vanishing
without a trace.
