The Raiders:
Gamma War

Inspection
Dane and the other heroes that made up the team known as the Raiders sat around the dinner table enjoying a meal.
"So Dane how did you get your powers?" Leonard, the hero called Scorpion II asked as he spooned some more salad into his plate.
"Well the Black Knight legacy reaches back to Arthur and Avalon. The Black Knight served as one of the famous Knights of the Round Table. The armor, the sword, and the shield were magically made by the magician Merlin. When Arthur fell the title of the Black Knight passed through my family until my father claimed it. He fell to the curse of the Ebony Blade and became an evil blood thirsty monster until I slew him and claimed the title myself." Dane spoke somberly. Enchantress put a hand on his arm to comfort him. Since they first formed the team and dealt with the Other and his Assassin, Amora the Asgardian goddess known as Enchantress and Dane the Black Knight had grown close. (Authors Note: See Thor the Initiative for full story)
"Wow sorry I brought that up it must have been hard." Leonard said.
Dane nodded. "It was difficult but I freed him from being a slave to the sword."
"Well I'm glad the apple fell miles away from the tree boss." Robbie, the Rocket Racer said stuffing a fork full of spaghetti in his mouth.
"Thanks." Dane smiled, but he wasn't so sure. Dane lived with the fear every moment of his life as the Black Knight. One false move could turn him into a blood lusting lunatic like his apprentice Bloodwrath. Tony had told him that that was the very reason that he was leader of this team. Dane thought everything through before acting. He had to one drop of innocent blood been spilled by the sword he would be cursed and would become a monster. A beep from the room's speakers overhead brought him out of his brooding.
-Raiders report to the war room.- The mechanical voice of the base's AI said. As they prepared to get up Robbie stopped them.
"Wait we have to decide who does the dishes." He called.
"Okay but quick." Dane agreed. "One, two, three, shoot!" The heroes all threw out their hands in a rock, paper, scissors match. Dane, Leonard, and Amora threw rock. Paul, and Robbie threw scissors.
"You two." Dane pointed and dashed off to the war room. When the team was assembled in the war room before the screen the image of Carol Danvers, Ms. Marvel appeared.
"Carol, nice to see you." Dane said smiling at his old friend. Carol smiled back.
"Hey Dane, what's shaking?" She asked "Uh, you mind letting me in?"
"Oh sorry!" Dane stammered and pressed the door release button for the front entrance.
"Thanks." Carol said as her face disappeared from view. The group waited in the war room for several seconds before Carol Danvers entered. Dane walked up and wrapped Carol in a massive hug.
"It's good to see you too Dane." She laughed, as Enchantress frowned at the display of affection.
"So what brings you here?" Dane asked putting Carol down. Carol smoothed out her picturesque costume and cleared her throat.
"Tony sent me to check your guy's progress." She said suddenly looking very formal.
"Okay." Dane said. "Give us your best."
Carol smiled "I intend to."
"You got to be kidding me Carol!" Dane yelled as he and the others stepped outside to the fading daylight to see the Thunderbolts looking at them. "They'd soon as kill us as look at us!" He growled.
"Dane, Norman and his team have graciously volunteered to help out and test how you guys work as a team." Carol said trying to calm him down.
"Carol, I put several of these guys behind bars and I bet they still want revenge." He whispered to her.
"Are we doing this thing or not?" Bullseye bellowed fingering his knives.
"Yes we are." Carol said. "Norman will pick five of his group to fight your five." She spoke gesturing at the sickly smiling Green Goblin.
"Alright." Dane sighed. "Raiders Assemble." He ordered. The team formed up.
"Bullseye, Moonstone, Venom, Songbird with me." Norman called as he jumped on his glider and shot forwards.
"Avalon." Dane yelled diving out of the way of charging Green Goblin. The mighty winged horse appeared next to him as he drew his sword and mounted.
Venom locked hands with Leonard in a match of strength.
"We never thought we would see the old suit again." He hissed as his long tongue snaked out of his mouth. Leonard smiled as blades shot from his gauntlets and electrocuted venom. The beast howled and jumped back.
"As you can see I've made some modifications." Leonard smiled.
Robbie activated his full body armor as he squared off with Bullseye.
"What's a matter? Scared?" He laughed as he launched a barrage of blades at Robbie. The blades shattered against his armor and he raised his gauntlets and fired his taser coils. Bullseye dodged effortlessly and kicked Robbie hard. The blow didn't harm him but in his fully armored state he was very top heavy. Robbie slammed into the dust hard and Bullseye held his blade just centimeters from his eye. Bullseye suddenly disappeared and Moonstone slammed into him and both went flying. Paul the Phantom Rider offered a hand to Robbie who deactivated his armor and jumped on his board.
"Double header?" Robbie asked. Paul nodded. Both heroes dashed towards their opponents. Moonstone's hands began to glow as Bullseye drew another blade. Robbie shot a zip line at Paul who caught it and was thrown forward as it retracted. Paul slammed into both villains knocking them down. Paul then drew a rope and hogtied Bullseye. He was thrown forward as Moonstone blasted him from behind. Robbie grabbed his tazeclub and swung at Moonstone who easily ducked and punched him in the stomach. Robbie fell to his knees and was kicked in the face by Moonstone. Paul lashed out with his hellfire whip pulling her legs out from under her. He drew his pistols and fired several round. Moonstone laughed as the bullets shattered against her force field.
"Arathi tarn!" Amora cried as three ghostly warriors appeared around her. The Viking ghosts charged Songbird who took to the sky and fired a blast of sonic energy at the warriors ripping their shadowy forms to shreds. Amora began chanting more but Songbird opened her mouth and two forces of solidified sound slammed her from both sides. Amora cried out in pain and collapsed into the dust.
"Amora!" Dane yelled. "Form up Raiders." He ordered thrusting the but of his sword into Osborn's face knocking him off his glider. He raced over to his fallen teammate and bashed Songbird aside with his shield.
Scorpion II smashed Venom with his tail knocking him away before heading over to where Paul was still battling Moonstone. Robbie slowly rose from the dust and pulled his board from his backpack and pushed the ignition button sending the board slamming into Moonstone's back the shield buckled from the hit as Paul launched a jet of hellfire at the shield Moonstone cried out as her shield broke she fell unconscious. Leonard a knocked from the air as Venom wrapped his hands around his throat.
"Leaving so soon?" He hissed and sent spikes from his hand into Leonard's armor. Leonard screamed in agony as Venom's sickening laughter echoed from the battlefield.
"Enough!" Carol yelled rising above the battle. The Thunderbolts looked at Osborn who nodded. They disengaged and formed up across from the wounded raiders. Dane was checking both Leonard and Amora. Carol walked over to them. "How is she?"
"She'll live but I want Leonard checked for symbiotic poisoning." He growled as Robbie and Paul took them back to base. "So did we pass your little test?" Dane sneered.
"Yes. You proved that the Thunderbolts won't be getting any of the Initiative graduates and you can have a pick with the other teams if you want." Carol said. Dane suddenly realized that the test wasn't about battle tactics it was about teamwork and the Thunderbolts cared nothing for their compatriots but Dane and the team always watched each other's backs.
The battle was fresh. It literally throbbed with radiation. Through their eyes it glowed with life. They stood in awe of the damage wrought by one that as their father put was beyond even him. They quickly collected a few strands of hair and some blue colored blood and disappeared quickly soon the military would arrive and SHIELD not long after and they're father would be waiting for the gifts they would bring him. Blast touched her comlink.
"Father, we have the samples." She spoke.
-Good. Very good my children I will transport you back now.- A aged voice spoke over the com a beam of green light soon shone around them and they disappeared.
That's the first chapter please R&R. Preview for the next Chapter:
"Whoa! Those are the Aliens that Hulk brought with him!" Robbie cried as the Warbound made a mad dash to get to the sewers before Robbie could attack them. Robbie dived and stopped right in front of them. "Hold it right there ET you're underar..." He didn't get a chance to finish as Korg knocked him out of the way.
"Sorry human but we're in a hurry." The rock man stated as they disappeared into the darkness beneath the city.
