Hey Guys, sorry for the lateness of this chapter. A few things got in the way and I had a little bit of writers block for a few days, but better late than never.
Enjoy
Chapter 11: The Search Begins
The Sanctum – New York – Night
Moonstar: The Singh Brotherhood?
Phantom: The Singh Brotherhood; an ancient order of evil, they originally started off as a band of pirates terrorising ships in the Caribbean, but now...with them returning after nearly a century, there's no telling what they have become.
Spiderman: Wait... I remember, aren't they tied into your back-story?
The League members give all their attention to Phantom.
Phantom: My family and the Brotherhood go way back. Nearly 500 years ago they attacked a merchant ship, where a small boy was forced to watch his father be savagely murdered by their leader. Later that same boy swore an oath of vengeance...and he became the first Phantom.
Even though I've heard all this before, this is for the benefit of anyone who didn't bother to read the first story...and beside this is an awesome story.
Phantom: He was my ancestor, and ever since then my family has been fighting the Brotherhood. Until, according to the chronicles my great grandfather; the 21st Phantom he was finally able to defeat the Singh Brotherhood during the 30s.
Green Hornet: What happened?
Phantom: Well according to his chronicles, with the help of the original League, they were able to track down and destroy the Brotherhood stronghold along with their leader.
Zorro: And now they are back.
Phantom: Yes...I guess some remnants of the Brotherhood survived and went underground.
Moonstar: And now they are manipulating this war from afar...but why risk showing themselves now with their attack on the Carrier?
Spiderman: Maybe...they were afraid what we might find in Lucia's memory files. She tried to assassinate Black Panther, but why? Dr Doom already made his point by attacking the Wakandan Embassy, why send a lone assassin so soon afterwards?
Green Hornet: Because he didn't.
Everyone turns towards Hornet as he sits there acting very cool.
Green Hornet: Doom never sent Lucia because she disappeared from Latveria 2 weeks beforehand. He feels that she was kidnapped by T'Challa and SHIELD to create a false assassination as a stunt to make him look like the bad guy.
I hope everyone here understands the Irony of that statement.
Zorro: She disappeared? Could this Brotherhood have taken her and sent her to kill T'Challa?
Phantom: From what I've learned, it's the sort of thing they do... use proxies to act on their behalf and if they fail there's no connection to them.
Spiderman: And I bet those files had something stored in them that could lead us to the Brotherhood.
Kato: Just one problem...we don't have those files.
Man...She is such a buzz kill.
Moonstar: So basically we have no leads to find the Brotherhood.
Spiderman: Dude! This is a bad start.
Phantom: No way, if the Brotherhood is truly involved in all this, they must have agents in the states somewhere. They wouldn't be able to operate effectively without them.
Green Hornet: And I might have an idea on where to start looking.
Spiderman: Hornet?
Hornet again interacts with the console, and then a screen appears in front of them showing footage of rioters.
Green Hornet: These are some of the latest footage of the recent mutant riots, I've been monitoring them for...research, and I've noticed a pattern.
More displays appear, showing different footage.
Green Hornet: These rioters here were spontaneous, attacking shops, rioting in the streets, taking on the military. But these ones here who are attacking police, fire stations and Government facilities, they seem more organised, coordinated. And I've been able to pull up info on some of mutants leading them.
Profile images of a group of mutants appear.
Zorro: Avalanche, Toad, Domino, Blob?
Green Hornet: Members of the Brotherhood of Mutants, who perform missions for Magneto.
Moonstar: You think these mutants are acting on Magnetos orders to organise the riots?
Green Hornet: I do, and if the Brotherhood is pulling the strings then they might be able to tell us something.
Spiderman: It's a long shot, but it's the only sort we've got.
Phantom: Well then...let's go ask them.
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean
In one of the docking hangers of the Brotherhoods Headquarters, The mysterious Leader; escorted by Dr Moreau and a group of Troopers is waiting patiently looking out into the body of water in front of him. Then a large submarine starts to surface from the water just ahead of them and starts to dock.
?: Our guests have arrived.
Dr Moreau: Are you sure it's wise to bring them here?
?: Now, now good Doctor, don't be so nervous, they wouldn't dare harm us here.
As the submarine finish its docking procedure, a hatch on the side of its hull opens and a ramp extends onto the ground. Stepping out from the hatch is Commander Kraken; he walks down the ramp to meet with his leader.
Commander Kraken: (Saluting) Sir!
?: Commander, I trust you were hospital to our guests?
Commander Kraken: Despite the fact that they are a bunch of smelly fish people...I tried.
Attuma: How dare you!
The Brotherhood villains look round to see the huge blue skinned Atlantean Attuma; accompanied by a group of his guards exit the submarine and walk towards them.
?: Attuma! I trust your journey was to your liking?
Attuma: No it was not! You had this cur bring me; Attuma, warlord of Atlantis here in that tub, while confining my men and me to a single space like common sardines. I would have preferred to make my own way here.
?: Secrecy is our way Attuma, now if you would care to join me in my quarters...However they must stay here.
He gestures towards Attumas Atlantean guards.
Attuma: Do you think me mad?
Commander Kraken: The thought occurred.
In the blink of an eye, Attuma draws his blade and points it at the Commander, both Atlanteans and Troopers raise their weapons swiftly at each other.
?: Remember where you are Attuma! If you bring violence to my doorstep...you won't be leaving here.
Slowly, Attuma sheaths his sword while everyone else begins to calm down.
?: Excellent, now join me. We will be alone; you men will be fine here.
He gestures Attuma to follow him, he does so and the two of them make their way out of the hanger.
The Leaders Office
The Brotherhoods leader makes his way into his office, followed by Attuma. He goes to sit behind his desk with Attuma standing in front of him.
?: Can I get you something?
Attuma: Do not play with me. I have fulfilled my end of our agreement, now return Zantor.
?: Ah yes, he is on his way here as we speak, and once again I thank you. His innervations have proved to be invaluable in the construction of my fleet.
Attuma: And so you must fulfil your end.
?: To help you in your conquest of Atlantis? Yes I will hold up my end.
Attuma: And then our alliance will end.
?: Does it have too? Why not join me and share in my vision.
Attuma: Your games on the surface are of no interest to me. Once Atlantis is mine, I will control all the seven sea.
?:...Quite.
The door of the office opens and Dr Moreau walks in, accompanied by an old Atlantean.
?: Ah! Zantor, I trust everything is in order?
Zantor: Yes sir, everything is ready to your specifications.
Attuma: Zantor you are to return to me, your time here is at an end.
Zantor: Of course my lord.
?: Just before you depart, I believe Dr Moreau has the specifics to or venture to take Atlantis, If you would care to take a look?
Dr Moreau hands his tablet over to Attuma, as he takes a look the screen on the tablet suddenly flashes like a camera, leaving Attuma standing in a hypnotic gaze.
?: You arrogant fool!
He gets up from his desk and walks round to Attuma, he punches him in his face with such force that Attuma is flung across the office and crashes into the wall, knocking down some of the display weapons.
?: You dare address me like an inferior in my own base!
He walks over to Attuma and picks him up and holds him over his head for a minute before dropping him to the floor. He then kneels down, grabs Attumas head and raises it of the floor.
?: My Brotherhood are the only true masters of the sea...and soon the world. Now, who are you?
Attuma: I...am Attuma, Warlord of Atlantis.
?: And whom do you serve?
Attuma: I serve you...Vandal Singh.
Singh: Good, now get up.
Attuma obeys.
Singh: Now return to your base, prepare your forces and await my instructions.
Attuma makes his way out of the office as Singh walks up to Zantor.
Singh: You have your orders...do not fail me.
Zantor: Yes sir.
He leaves and Singh turns to Dr Moreau.
Singh: Another success on your part my friend. Your toy did its trick.
Dr Moreau: Of course it did, and I'm pleased to tell you that the devices are ready for the summit.
Singh: Have them put into place quickly; the summit will begin soon after we take control of Atlantis.
The Doctor is just about to leave before Singh calls him back.
Singh: And have someone come and clean this up.
New York – MRD Facility Zeta – Night
The Mutant Response Divisions new prison facility; storing all the recently imprisoned mutant rioters is located on the outskirts of New York City. Stationed along the prison walls, two MRD solders are patrolling the area.
MRD Solder 1: You know I'm glad to be guarding the wall than be right in the middle of those riot.
MRD Solder 2: I know what you mean this is a cushy number. Although those freaks we got are pissed off.
MRD Solder 1: Don't worry about it; they won't be getting out anytime soon. ...
BANG!
A huge explosion occurs right there, blowing a large section of the prison wall to pieces and the two solders scream as they are blasted into the air as alarms are sounding. As the smoke starts to clear, a few dozen mutants; lead by the BoM begins to storm the facilities courtyard.
Domino: This is it! Time to free our brothers and sisters of the human oppressors!
Avalanche: Alright let's shake things up a bit.
As waves of MRD solders begin to fill the courtyard, Avalanche uses his powers to knock down groups of them while Domino and Toad enter the facility to free the prisoners. More MRD solders arrive to engage the mutants outside, but the combined efforts of the BoM are proving too much for them. Blob is charging through the MRD like they were nothing, picking them up and throwing them around. As one solder lands on the ground he takes out his radio.
MRD Solder: Mutant forces are overrunning the perimeter! We need back up...ANYONE!
Suddenly the roar of an engine is heard, the solder looks over to see a white Harley Davidson motorcycle jumping over the debris (himself included) and landing right in front of him. Its purple hooded rider then draws one of his blasters and starts firing at some of the mutants, wounding them in the legs and such. The MRD solder looks in awe as he is suddenly blinded by a green light, another vehicle crashes through the debris followed by another motorcycle.
The vehicle emitting green light is a black 1964 Chrysler with black tinted windows. Suddenly the car fires something from its hood and green tear gas starts to engulf the courtyard then the car doors open and four figures step out.
Avalanche: What's going on?
He tries to look about him but the gas is too thick, suddenly Spiderman jumps out in front of him.
Spiderman: Peek a boo!
He punches Avalanche in the face which knocks him down. A few other mutants try to navigate their way out of the area, but instead they are met by a red energy whip entangling their feet and tripping them up. Suddenly one of the mutants uses her wind-like powers to clear the courtyard of the gas, revelling several downed solders and mutants and the rest of the mutants engaging an unknown group of heroes.
Blob: Who are you losers?
Green Hornet: Who are you calling a loser...fatty?
Blob yells and raises his arms to smash Hornet, but Phantom comes out of nowhere jumps on top of him and starts punching Blobs head in. Hornet draws his Hornet Gun and shoots a few gas pellets at Blob, this proves ineffective and Blob manages to grab Phantom and throws him into Hornet.
Meanwhile a group of mutants surround Moonstar; just as they start to attack her she raises her arms at them. They stop on their tracks and start screaming in terror, some begin to wave their arms around franticly as if they were trying to hit something. Then Kato and Spiderman appear and start knocking them all down one by one until they're all on the ground.
Spiderman: Dude! What did you do to them?
Moonstar: I'm sorry...I...I...
Kato takes out one of her darts and throws one at a mutant trying to attack Moonstar from behind
Kato: Focus on the fight!
Both Spiderman and Moonstar watch as Kato runs off and into the thick of the action.
Spiderman: She's a barrel of laughs.
On the other side of the courtyard, Zorro has his sword drawn and is leaping around to avoid Avalanches attacks.
Avalanche: Stay still!
As he sends another shock wave his way, Zorro jumps over him and lands behind him and starts slashing away at Avalanches armour. As he turns round to face Zorro, his armour starts to fall off in pieces leaving him only in his underwear.
Avalanche: What the..?
Zorro: Sir! There are ladies present.
While Avalanche is distracted, Zorro knocks him to the ground with a punch. Suddenly a shot narrowly misses him; he looks over to see Domino aiming her rifle at him while at the facilities entrance, where hundreds of mutants start pouring out and into the courtyard. Spiderman jumps down beside him.
Spiderman: That...is a lot of angry mutants.
Zorro: I do believe we have outstayed our welcome.
Spiderman: Yea (activating his communicator) Guys, we need to pull back there's too many now.
Phantom: "What? I'm just getting started!"
Green Hornet: "Spidermans right and besides...we got what we came for".
Spiderman: We did?
Green Hornet: "How about I answer that after we escape the large angry mob".
Spiderman: Good point, everyone to your League mobiles!
The league starts fighting their way through the mutant horde to their vehicles. Hornet, Kato, Spiderman and Moonstar get to the Black Beauty while Phantom and Zorro find their bikes and make their escape out of the facility just as MRD reinforcements start to arrive. Some attack choppers begin to chasing the Black Beauty.
Spiderman: Err guys? We have gunships on our tail!
Green Hornet: We know.
The gunships start firing at them.
Spiderman: Their firing at us!
Moonstar: We know.
The Gunships start firing rockets at them, some of them narrowly missing them.
Spiderman: Their launching rockets at us!
Kato: WE KNOW!
She takes a sharp turn and drives into the nearby woods; she parks the Black Beauty amongst a thick group of trees and presses a button on the dashboard.
Moonstar: Why are we...?
Kato: Shush! Keep quiet.
The Gunships arrive and start sweeping the area, after a few minutes they leave. As the group get out of the car, Spiderman notices that the entire car body is camouflaged to make it look invisible.
Oh man I really, really, REALLY...missed how awesome this car is!
After a few minutes, both Zorro and Phantom arrive on their bikes.
Zorro: Well...that was exciting.
Phantom: And pointless, we didn't get anything.
Green Hornet: You sure about that?
Everyone looks at him and Kato with puzzling looks. Kato then walks over to the trunk of the Black Beauty and opens it.
Green Hornet: Kato picked us up a souvenir.
She then lifts out a very scared looking Toad; tied up with his own tongue and throws him to the ground right in front of them. Phantom draws his blaster and aims it at Toad.
Phantom: Try to run and I'll blow your head off, clear?
Toad nods then Kato unties him.
Spiderman: Why are you lot attacking Government facilities?
Toad: I don't know...maybe because there's a fucking WAR going on?
Kato then smacks her foot down right onto Toads...private parts. Then slowly applies more pressure.
Toad: YEAAAAAAAOOOOWWWWWW!
Kato: TALK!
Toad: WE...JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS...QUICKSILVER...MEETING SOMEONE...TONIGHT!
Kato: Where?
Toad: DOCKS!
Green Hornet: Thank you; might as well let him go Kato...he's turning a funny colour.
She steps off of Toad and then walks round to his head and kicks him in the face...knocking him out. She then makes her way over to the Black Beauty and gets in the driving seat.
Green Hornet: Right we know where to go next...hey are you guys alright?
The rest of the leagues are frozen in place, shocked by what they just witnessed.
Spiderman: Dude...that girl's scary.
Hornet looks back over his shoulder, looking at Kato in the driver's seat waiting for them and then back to the league.
Green Hornet: To you maybe.
He then makes his way over to the Black Beauty, leaving the rest of them in a state of shock.
A/N: And so their adventure begins, hope you all enjoyed it and if you didn't...I'll send Kato after you MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! Comment and review.
Thanks.
