IC: Avengers: HEROIC

[Felhammer]

Natasha pushes the engines to the breaking point and beyond. The jet zips over the entire Atlantic ocean and a good chunk of Africa until...

*CLUNK*

*CLUNK*

*SHHHFIIISHT!*

*DUDUDUDudududuuu...*

One of the engines bursts on fire! The flames gush out of the aft end of the craft, lighting the sky up like a massive bonfire.

Off in the distance you can see Boka Army Base. It is a simple base, more of a garrison out in the scrub-land than anything else. The base is surrounded by a ten foot high, rectangular, concrete wall with dozens of loopholes on each side. At each of the corners lies a large anti-air gun. The base is WELL FORTIFIED and is mobilizing for... Something. Hopefully Director Hill managed to message the Central African Republic's President...


*DING* *DING* *DING* *DING* *DING*

The AA Guns pelt the dorsal hull of the craft!

*BOOM*

One of the Bullets hit a soft spot! The second engine disintegrates into a VAST STREAM OF AIRBORNE SHRAPNEL that rains down upon the windswept vistas below. Luckily the passenger compartment and cockpit are sealed off from the engines, or lest this team of Avengers would have had a very short life span.

As the Quinjet zooms at an ever more steeply declining trajectory, everyone realizes that the only way to survive is to hit the eject button and pray for the best...

Everyone has to take an action vs. the Doom Pool to see how well they manage to escape the burning wreckage that is the (recently refurbished at tax payer's expense) Quinjet.

[thejoshie]

"DAMNIT!"

She pushed the jet too hard. Just great... she was making good time too! "Everyone strap in, I'm going to go for a crash land--"

DING DING DING DING

*BOOM*

"Oh for the love of... the second engine is out, we have to bail!"

And with that, she pushed the emergency eject on the Quinjet, popping the seal of the cockpit for immediate exit. Falcon would take full advantage... the others...

It was too much. Already things were going Fubar... just like the last time she lead an Avengers team.

She unlatched her belt and allowed the natural air pressure to pull her up and off the seat, before firing a high tinsil wire from her Widow's Sting onto the plumeting Quinjet Wreckage... she then immediately cut that cable to fire another line at a nearby tree!

Her aim was to go for as soft a landing as possible while escaping permanent injury....

I did roll 2 opportunities. First come, first serve for purchase.

The Tree that the Black Widow had intended to use as leverage to bring her to a soft landing snaps under the pressure. She goes careening down to the earth and just barely manages to stick her feet out in time to slide across the dry grass. She comes to a stop right in front of a very large boulder that surly would have ruined her day had she been thrown just a foot farther.

[Theprettiestorc]

"...pigstickers..." Bah. She grabs a belt of explosives, and a bolt-action rifle, as well as some ammunition. High-power is always something to work with. And as Frost's message comes in, leaving her eye slightly twitching, she frowns. Hulk. Well, weapons were useless, but at least she had diversions.

-------------------------------------------------------

Having donned the stealth suit, Laura feels pretty silly about the whole thing. But loading up, she appraises the inside of the jet. Supplies...rope, firearms, masks...she probably wouldn't need that last one. She does, however, fit a side-arm onto her leg, joining the rifle on her back and the belt of ammunition and grenades. If she had to save someone's ass, she wasn't going to just go in claws-drawn.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Is this going to crash every time?!" Furious, she works to keep her temper together as she seals her helmet on. When Widow pops the hatch, she follows behind, taking a step and a leap out. Positioning herself for a roll across the ground.

X-23 lunges out of the crashing jet. Her years of combat experience and acrobatics training pay off as she easily and deftly tumbles at exactly the right time so as to shove all the momentum into the roll and avoid any damage. Unlike Black Widow, X-23 manages to land in a pocket of trees, thus obscuring her from the soldiers inside the base.

[Aquateenflayer]

“Sweet Christmas!” Cage yells as he wishes he wasn't so damn heavy. He runs to the hatch and grits his teeth to fight back a wave of nausea . He puts on his sunglasses and his calmest face as he turns back and yells. “Yo Falcon! Don’t forget to grab a buddy on the way out!” He steps out of the jet and starts to freefall with his yellow tanktop flapping in the wind.

The reasoning for the jump was simple. He calculated that If he hits the ground hard enough it will soften enough and he won’t die. Plus it’s not like it’s any safer in the plane.
“Hulk does it all the time.” He tells himself the scenery rushes up to meet him.

As soon as Black Widow opened the emergency eject on the Quinjet Falcon immediately took to the air. He spread his wings trying to stabilize himself and letting his avian senses take control.

However, the wind current was very strong and VAST STREAM OF AIRBORNE SHRAPNEL attacked from various directions. He tried with all his finesse to keep to the sky.

The mighty Falcon flies out into the wild blue yonder. His years of experience lend to his escape. He dodges left and right, avoiding the smaller bits of shrapnel with ease. However, a giant piece of the cockpit breaks off and flies directly at him... Then Luke Cage bursts out of the plane like the Incredible Hulk... Right into the path of the bicycle-sized chunk of metal. It smacks right into Luke's head. Tough luck for Power Man... Who quickly careens down to the ground, head first. He lands roughly twenty feet from the base's wall, right next to Four loopholes... At least his impervious skin prevented any damage, save for the shame. Meanwhile, the Falcon flies up and out of the path of the shrapnel, none the worse for wear.

[omnitricks]

Frank thought he would have a little longer to build up the arsenal the team would need but he was stopped on the news that the next target is found and would be hit soon as well as the fact that it will involve a Hulk. Nothing he could get at the time could beat one of that so the vigilante left the armoury but not before getting to one of the SHIELD agents nearby and telling him "get a some of the equipment you agents normally use to the Quinjet pronto. For at least three people" by his count in case anyone else needed to use them.

I am going to take one of those opportunities for a PP to make a resource called Shield-issue gear at d8 with my combat of d10.

2PP - 1PP

In the Quinjet, the Punisher was too busy checking up on the gear to notice anything until it was hit. In hindsight perhaps he should have volunteered to fly it but the Black Widow was the only real Avenger here and the privilege should have by rights go to her. But now, now was his time to pilot it where all the other so called heroes have fled.

Heading to the controls as he was being thrown around by the falling jet, Frank tried to take the Quinjet into a dive at the base firing at them. If they weren't friendly then they most probably are the enemy.

[Dancing Owlbear]

"Not again."

Emma watches the controls, making note of the destroyed engine with a small sigh. She unbuckles herself from her seat and makes her way toward the hatch, grabbing onto seats to help her reach it as the Quinjet begins to go into a downward spiral. Having experienced enough crash landings in her life, the mutant telepath is rather blasé about the whole thing. Leaping from the flaming jet, her body transforms into organic diamond which she hopes will allow her to make the landing relatively unscathed.

Frank yanks the stick and aims the craft right for the Boka Base. The angle of trajectory should hit the base right in the center.

Meanwhile, Emma lunges out of the craft post haste. Her skin turns to impervious diamond. Her body slams into the ground making a small crater but she is none the worse for wear.

The Avengers are scattered across the battlefield. The Falcon and Frank remain in the sky but the rest are on the ground. Luke is a mere twenty feet away from the base's wall, while Natasha is fifty feet away. Both are out in the open without cover. Emma and X-23 both landed near a small oasis, covered in wild palms. Both have cover from the enemies at the base.

Suddenly, and right on cue, the Black Widow's watch beeps, indicating the attack is starting. Suddenly, one of the AA Guns is blown to smithereens, replaced by an intense inferno. The Avengers look up into the sky and see a man... One of the army men... falling, falling...

*SPLAT*

Another... And another...

By the third time the team's eyes adjust to what is going on. A man in a black suit, with a long devil's tail and two blades appears for mere moments with a soldier in his arms. As quickly as the devil-man appears, he vanishes, leaving the soldier to fall to his death.

*BOOM*

A second explosion, this time on the far side of the base. The cloud of smoke is as a black as night. Screams emanate from beyond the wall. They beg for god to save them...

The Real Combat begins now!

X-23 goes first.

After she finishes, she may choose to allow a player to go next or specify a villain. Currently, we have the following villain/NPCs:

- Azazel
- CAR Soldiers


Though I would love for the the next in line to be a specific player, I fear it will take too long to get through combat what with the waiting and all. So, the first player to post gets to go.

[Theprettiestorc]

"Castle, Falcon, stay together. Widow, Cage, move out of sight as soon as possible, and stay under cover. We've got more than a Hulk to contend with - find out how many others are here if you can, and engage them if you're safely able. Avengers, move out." Laura activates her stealth, following the movements of the red devil. Nightcrawler? No...but similar. You call out toward the crater. "Frost! I need you to see if you can slow him down!"

For the team in disarray, someone has to step up. And you do, as you've been trained to. Running and climbing a tree, you activate your cloaking and ready your rifle. The field of invisibility extends around you, like a glove - and your sensors allow you to see what you're doing. Following the movements, you follow the movements, your senses picking up as he appears again. You aim quickly. "Dodge this."

The report of gunfire ensues.

Before the bullet has even crossed half the battlefield, Azazel has teleported out of harms way. He now stands atop the corner of the wall, nearest Luke Cage and Black Widow. He stares off ominously in the direction of X-23.

[Dancing Owlbear]

"Do not presume to order me around, child. I have been doing this longer than you have." With some safety provided by their cover, Emma's diamond form transforms back to smooth, unblemished, flesh. Closing her eyes, she attempts to focus upon Azazel. However, with all of his teleporting, he is difficult to pin down. Still, what match was he against an Omega-Class Telepath?

Oppressive waves of psychic energy were poured in his direction as she attempted to force her way into his mind and wrest control of it from him, 'Surrender your mind to me! You will cease your attack and you will obey me!'

Falcon stayed in the air overlooking the area and thinking to himself. How had things gone so wrong so fast. Bodies were just dropping out of the sky, he tried to reach for one only to be too late. Redwing, his falcon brought his attention back to the crashing Quinjet. He though everybody had managed to get out but the Punisher was still inside. What is he doing? Falcon thought to himself.

He immediately pivoted in a downward motion to try and catch up with the crashing Quinjet. Several pieces of airborne shrapnel clipped his wings but he pushed through. As soon as Falcon was within earshot from the Punisher he screamed. Dammit Castle jump. If you jump now I can catch you. What are you doing you maniac? JUMP!!!

Maniac...a word used by many for the Punisher during his crusade since they could not even understand it but what they thought did not matter, only the results he wanted and even now, only when he was sure that the quinjet will crash on his target, he saw it fit to leave.

Rushing for the SHIELD tech he laid out earlier for the team, he grabbed the set he thought was best and and fastened the jetpack securely before leaping out of the soon to be wreckage. Too bad he'd have to abandon the rest.

The crashing quinjet worked a little bit too well for the vigilante who did not expect even more explosions from the munitions depot forcing him to look away as the army base flared up. The team mobilized too fast to get any proper intel, something that Castle never failed to do when he worked alone to avoid situations like this.

Another situation he would have liked is to avoid the Hulk for any reason and he noticed the green...blue giant "The Hulk and the devil" he mused to himself as he was drawn back by the roar. "Hell. Lets get out of here" he told Falcon raising up the threat level of his Shield weapon. He was not going to go down without fighting even if it was a Hulk.

Seeing the giant slab of concrete headed his way, the Punisher fired a whole stream of bullets to blow it up to pieces. "You're all next!" he growled.

"Tch..." by looking at the uniform of the soldiers that just exited the wreckage they would have been friendlies, or friendlier than the beekepers that appeared with the blue devil. Just what the hell was going on here? A normal soldier might have paused for a moment with the odds stacked up against them like but not Castle. This was like Christmas. All the scum he would have wanted to get rid off with equipment sponsored by SHIELD.

The Punisher readied his weapon to take them all out at once but was stopped when the soldiers opened fire first. "Stupid," but not a target for the vigilante who chose to get out of the line of fire. Fortunately his jetpack from SHIELD would provide him with the mobility he needed, and the blazing wreck would make it harder for them to catch up to him as he took to the air.

"Come on, Comrade... wake up!"

No matter how much she shook him, Luke wasn't moving. And this was unusual, after seeing the various stunts she saw him do in the past.
