Marvel NEXT Issue 1

AN: This is some sort of test to see if a concept like this would work. Just saying this right now, some members of the main cast won't appear yet and super hero teams are already an established thing.

KOTETSU'S HOUSE

The sound of fried rice sizzling on a frying pan died down as Kotetsu finished cooking dinner.

"Guys! Dinner is ready!"

His roommate, Logan, arose from napping on the couch, yawning. "It better not be fried rice again."

"So what if it is? I don't see you cooking." Kotetsu retorted.

"..." Logan merely grunted in response. He really couldn't be bothered.

"I'm coming!" Their other roommate, Doreen Green said, coming down the stairs. With her pet squirrel Tippy Toe in tow.

"Here you go." Kotetsu gave her a plate of rice which she immediately dug into.

"At least someone doesn't mind my cooking."

"Just shut up and give me some food!" Logan exclaimed, getting up to get his plate of rice.

The three sat in front of the television as they ate their dinner.

"Guys," Doreen stopped eating. "Thanks again for letting me stay with you."

"Don't mention it Dorry," Kotetsu spoke happily. "We're a team, we help each other out."

"Yeah, just don't piss me off kid." Logan said.

"I promise I won't." Doreen said. "Once I get into college I'll get my own dorm and you won't have to worry about me."

"Don't rush yourself, take your time." Kotetsu said.

"Speak for yourself." Logan muttered.

Suddenly a beeping from the wristbands they all wore alerted them.

"Ugh, now?" Logan groaned.

"I'm not even done eating." Doreen stated reluctantly wanting to stop.

"It doesn't matter." Kotetsu said, scarfing down a few more spoon fulls of fried rice before hastily racing to find his shoes. "We've got a job to do!"


West Silver, Stern Medaille Area

A group of robbers had attacked an armored truck and made off with over three million dollars. They were currently on the run with said vehicle evading police. The popular television program, Hero TV, was broadcasting this live as the following events unfolded.

"And here come a couple of Heroes now!"

A fiery looking formula one car drove behind the armored truck. In the car's two seats were the pair of heroes, Fire Emblem and Storm. (Storm's costume is her MVC 3 look, the logo of her sponsor, Rockstar Energy, is located on her stomach area).

"It's the brother and sister team of Fire Emblem and Storm! Will they be able to make a grand arrest today?!"

FIRST TO ARRIVE: FIRE EMBLEM & STORM (25 POINTS)

Fire Emblem launched a fireball at the truck, taking out the two back tires and drastically reducing the truck's speed. As they neared the truck, Rock Bison and Power Man (Sports a Gold's Gym International and 5-hour Energy sponsor logos. He is also based on his appearance in the Ultimate Spider-Man show) a stood in front of the truck, stopping it dead in its tracks as Fire Emblem and Storm sped past.

SECOND TO ARRIVE: ROCK BISON & POWER MAN (5 POINTS)

"And there's Rock Bison & Power Man!"

Together, Rock Bison and Power Man lifted up the truck.

"Things haven't been good for these two this season, hopefully they'll make a comeback tonight!"

"Huh? What?" Bison spoke.

A the robbers in the truck jumped out as Bison reached over to stop them.

"H-hey, stop!" He said, however he then realized that his horns were stuck in the truck.

"Get back here!" Power Man shouted as he ran after them.

"Hey wait!" Rock Bison called out. "Help me out here I'm stuck!"

"Uh, right!" Power Man stopped and came back to help Bison get unstuck.

The robbers managed to hijack a taxi and drive away, just as Fire Emblem arrived on foot.

"Oh, shucks!" Fire Emblem exclaimed.

"Don't worry brother, I got them!" Storm said, flying after them.

When she flew over the taxi, she called down lightning to violently strike the vehicle, pacifying the robbers inside.

CRIMINAL CAPTURED X2: STORM (400 POINTS) & FIRE EMBLEM (200 POINTS HALVED FOR LACK OF PHYSICAL CAPTURE)

"Here's Storm with an excellent use of her powers, capturing two of the robbers!"

Storm held up two of the robbers in victory as Origami Cyclone and Tag (Sporting Toshiba and Crunchyroll sponsors) appeared in the background, scoring no points.

"But wait! Where is the third one?!"

Fire Emblem came running towards Storm. "Where's the third one?"

"Oh my," Storm said pressing a hand against her cheek. "In all the excitement I might've missed him."

"Ah, there he is! The last robber has gone into the nearby train station and hijacked a monorail! How Horrible!"

"Hurry up and go fast!" The robber commanded, pointing a gun at the conductor. The monorail left the station rather quickly. Further ahead on top of the rails stood Wild Tiger, Wolverine (the costume is the original yellow and blue and his sponsors are Dick's Sporting Goods and Harley-Davidson Motor Company), and Squirrel Girl (her costume is what she always had but is brown and blue, her sponsors are Planters Peanuts and Family Mart).

"What's this?! It's the Wild Animals of Sternbild! The Crusher for Justice, Wild Tiger! The best at what he does, Wolverine! And the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl! Can they end this situation?!"

"Alright, we made it!" Squirrel Girl said, hanging from the rail rather than standing on it.

Wolverine sniffed the air. "Yep, he's in that monorail."

"Let's stop him right here!" Tiger said as his body glowed and bulked up. "Wild Roar!"

"Wild Tiger is activating his Hundred Power! He only has five minutes to use it!"

Tiger used his strength to rip the rail out in front of him and tie it up. The monorail came to a screeching halt. Wolverine lunged forward, cutting through the front window of the monorail car into the driver seat. However, only the conductor was present, the robber jumped out onto a nearby airship.

"God damn it!" Wolverine shouted.

Squirrel Girl jumped after the robber, landing on the airship. Tiger prepared to jump as well as Sky High and Kid Nova (his costume is based on his current look in the comics, his sponsors are NASA, GameStop, and Red Bull) flew past.

"Here comes Sky High, the Windmaster and the Human Rocket, Kid Nova!"

KING OF HEROES: SKY HIGH

ULTIMATE TEAM OF HEROES: SKY HIGH & KID NOVA

"Can't let you guys show me up." Tiger said. He jumped towards the airship. Halfway through the jump he lost faith in his ability to make it and flailed about before landing face first onto the airship.

"You okay, Tiger?" Squirrel Girl asked, crawling over to him.

"I'm alright." He answered.

The robber had gotten into the airship and hijacked it, pointing a gun at the pilots.

"Don't try to resist!" He ordered.

"Don't try to resist!" Both Sky High and Kid Nova said, flying in front of the cockpit and pointing.

"Don't copy me!" The robber took out a rocket launcher and fired the rocket through the window. Sky High and Kid Nova moved to evade it.

The rocket homed in on Kid Nova as he flew in a direction away from the tall buildings.

Wolverine finally jumped towards the airship. With his claws out he landed on top of one of the engines, tearing into it.

"Aw shit!" He muttered as the engine sparked and promptly exploded on him.

The explosion caused the pilots of the airship to fall out and the airship to turn towards the bay, where a passenger ship was passing through. Sky High quickly moved to save the pilots with his wind powers.

"And there's Sky High with the save!"

PERSON SAVED X2: SKY HIGH (200 POINTS) & KID NOVA (100 POINTS HALVED FROM LACK OF PHYSICAL RESCUE)

"But the engine explosion caused the airship to descend and turn towards the bay. At this rate, it'll crash into that passenger ship!"

Squirrel Girl climbed into the cockpit of the airship, confronting the robber.

"You're coming with me!" She said.

"I'd rather go with Wild Tiger." The robber objected.

"Well it's a good thing I'm here!" Tiger said, getting into the cockpit.

"I'd rather go with Sky High thank you."

"Grrr, Shut up! You're coming with us!" Tiger shouted, grabbing him.

Feeling the airship descend, Wild Tiger and Squirrel Girl looked ahead of the airship to see that it was about to crash into the ship in the bay below.

"That's not good!"

Before both vessels collided with each other, ice suddenly froze everything in place. Even forming a hand around the airship.

"This ice! Could it be?!"

Three girls stood on the mountain-like formation the ice made.

"Yes! It's the Idol Blue Rose, the Sexy Stinger Wasp, and the Wonderful Wondra!"

The three struck their own poses, looking good in front of everyone.

PERSON SAVED MAX: BLUE ROSE & WASP & WONDRA (500 POINTS)

(Wondra and Wasp are also sponsored by Pepsi)

"Our powers might be a little cold, but your crime has been put completely on hold!" Blue Rose said. As she finished her catchphrase, Wondra use her powers to simulate fireworks going off.

Wild Tiger and Squirrel Girl watched on incredulously from another ice mountain.

"Are you doing this just to rack up points? We have the bad guy right here!"

Wriggling himself free, the robber took out his gun and shot Tiger in the chest.

"D-did you really just shoot me?" Tiger questioned. The bullet had little to no effect on him, only leaving a small blemish on his suit.

Squirrel Girl attempted to grab the gun from him.

"Back off!" The robber shot his gun again. Squirrel Girl leaned back to dodge the bullet, but lost her footing on the ice and slide down the mountain.

"What are you doing?!" Tiger said.

The robber pushed him aside and made a run for it. Shooting at the three girls ahead of him.

"Hey!"

"Watch it!"

"Don't come this way!"

Apparently forgetting that having guns shooting at you was part of the job, all three girls fled from the gun toting robber. This was a common occurrence for them as Hero TV would dub this their "Cutie Escape."

"Why do they always do that? There are three of them!" Wild Tiger groaned. "Enough messing around!" He jumped high into the air intending to come down on the robber. However, as his jump reached it's peak, his Hundred Power ran out of time.

"Uh oh!"

"Oh my! Wild Tiger's Hundred Power just reached it's time limit! Now he's helpless!"

Gravity took it's affect and Tiger began falling down. Squirrel Girl saw and raced over to catch him. Unfortunately, she ran into several ice spikes that blocked her path.

"Spikes?! What kind of idiot creates spikes in their ice formations?!"

The spikes were plentiful and packed closely, making it incredibly difficult to traverse. Squirrel Girl could only watch. Tiger couldn't bare to see his own death coming as he covered his eyes.

With brief flash, Tiger was saved by some guy in a silver armored suit.

"Huh, what? Sky High?" Tiger looked up at his savior.

"Haha, no. I'm more of an Iron Man."

"What's this?! A mysterious new hero has come in to save Tiger!"

The guy flew over and dropped Tiger next to Squirrel Girl.

Before any words could be said, another armored man jumped in and scooped up the robber and successfully incapacitated him.

"And another one appears to apprehend the robber!"

The two armored heroes landed in front of a crowd of awestruck civilians. Their helmets opened, revealing their faces. The civilians recognized these faces as two of the most recognizable people in the world.

"Hey that's...Barnaby Brooks Jr. and Tony Stark! Two of the biggest names in the tech industry! This season ends with a shocking reveal!"

Squirrel Girl helped Wild Tiger up. "You almost died!"

Tiger gave her a thumbs up, keeping up his bravado. "I'm still here aren't I?" He said confidently. "I would've handled it, don't worry about it."

"Right...oh! Have you seen Wolverine around?"

"Oh yeah, we sorta lost track of him on the monorail. I wonder where he ended up?"

By a random street corner, Wolverine laid on top of a parked car that he landed on. The explosion wounded him pretty badly, so he had to wait for his Healing Factor to kick in. Fire Emblem and Storm had driven by.

"Oh my, are you okay Wolverine?" Storm asked with concern.

"Yeah...yeah," Wolverine grunted. "This isn't the first time I've been blown up."

"Would you like us to give you a lift Wolvy?" Fire Emblem asked.

"I'm fine, just let me heal up and I'll be on my way!"

"You don't have to be so pissy about it." Fire Emblem pouted.


AN: Probably a bad place to end, but this is where I've decided to split up an already long chapter. Feel free to review, i'm open to any opinions or ideas anyone has.
