The New Frontier

Part 11


"This is Media Break. You give us three minutes and we'll give you the world."

"Good evening and welcome to this special evening edition of Media Break. I'm Casey Wong with Jesse Perkins. Our top story: The Infinity League. It has been exactly three weeks since the formation of this amazing team of metahumans who had recently united under a common cause. Backed by both the UN and GJN, the members of the Infinity League have been making a quick name for themselves with their recent victory over the Inhumanoid known as Tendril in Dallas, Texas. Though Tendril escaped, the League was praised for its teamwork and ability to keep collateral damage to a minimum."

"We recently went on the streets to ask the people of the world what they think of this new team of heroes."

"I sure wish these guys were around back when I was a cop," a man named John said to the reporter. "Maybe then some of the Nakatomi Plaza would be standing and I wouldn't have had my ass kicked in the process. Maybe I can get a job with them sometime, cause retirement sucks."

"I'm down with it," Howard, told the reporter "Ran-I mean, the Ninja, can't do everything by himself."

"As friends of Jenny, I can say that we pushed her to join this great team of heroes!" the boy known as Tuck said proudly into the camera.

"Uh, Tuck, you just cried a lot when Jenny said she had to leave," his older brother, Brad, corrected. "Like, way more than even Sheldon did."

"Fake news!" his sibling shot back.

"As Queen Bee, it's only a matter of time until I join them," the Mayor of Paris' daughter, Chole, said proudly as she did her nails. "Maybe they'll even make their leader!"

"They suck and I don't like them!" a goth named Robbie sneered at the camera.

"It's great idea. The world needs heroes to inspire us," an old man named Stan commented. "Though if you ask me, I would'a called the team something catchy like 'Excelsior!' or 'The True Believers!'"

"While the public at large has been mostly positive toward the formation of the League, there are some within the government who have a different opinion about the team," Casey began as the screen switched back to the newsroom. "Earlier today, Senator Wilfred Masterson made a public statement to congress demanding the registration of the members the Infinity League."

"We're giving up our right to defend ourselves and leaving the safety of our world in the hands of children!" a newsreel of Masterson said before the members of congress. "It's time to find out who these metahumans are and what they can do!"

"Speaking of the League, it seems like there might be some romance in the air," Jesse added on as the image returned to the newsroom. "Once again, images were caught by a French news crew of the Ninja of Norrisville in Paris with his League teammate, Rena Rouge, patrolling the city's rooftops together for fourth time. While neither hero has made a public statement as to weather or not they are an item, the internet has affectionately dubbed this could-be couple 'Fox-Fire.'"

"Tragedy strikes the small Oregon town of Gravity Falls today when the body of fifteen year old Thompson Bryers was found dead in his bedroom. Although the police have made no comment on the teen's death, the evidence of what appeared to be claw marks on the victim's body has made some to suspect that it could be the work of a copycat killer trying to emulate the mysterious Elm Street murders that occurred multiple times in Springwood, Ohio from 1984 to up to as late as 2003."

"In other news, a joint operation in Death Valley, California, conducted by the Global Justice Network and G.I. Joe, successfully managed to shut down the world's largest illegal demolition derby, the Twisted Metal competition. Dozens of agents from both organizations, as well as five of the contestants, were killed when their illegally modified vehicles engaged the GJN and G.I. Joe in retatiation. The stand off was only halted when the Autobot Jetfire came in as back-up and detonated an EMP device that managed to disable their weapons of mass destruction."

"Among the dozens taken into custody incluce former supermodel Krista Sparks, a preacher that was found not guilty by reason of insanity for murdering an entire family during their newborn child's baptism, and the notorius Sweet Tooth killer, Needles Kane. Despite this, however, the competition's ringleader, a man only identified as 'Calypso,' elluded apprehension and is currently at large. The GJN is currently offering a ten million dollar reward for any information that leads to Calypso's capture."

"If you thought reports of 'Ninja Turtles' in New York were outrageous, then you won't believe this. According to several eye-witness accounts, there have been multiple sightings of what can only be described as large, humanoid shark-men stalking the shadows of Fission City. While no footage of these 'Street Sharks' currently exists, it all seems like quite the fisherman story."

"In similar news, there have also been reports of what have been described as 'dino-men' being sighted across the US. They have been seen fighting with 'Raptor Men' on several occasions as well. According to one eye-witness in a recent sighting, 'it was way too extreme for him to stay and see who won the fight'. It is also of note to add that there have also been sightings of living mummies in San Fransisco as well."

"Yesterday, notorious serial killer, Micheal Myers, was transferred out of Smith's Grove Sanitarium by agents of the Global Justice Network. Myers, who was responsible for killing four people on Halloween night in Haddonfeild, Illinois, 40 years ago, and again recently in this previous year's Halloween, this time killing at least fifteen people, was removed from Smith's Grove and has been placed into the custody of the GJN, who refused to comment as to were they were taking Myers."

"Myers was not the only incarcerated murderer whom the GJN has recently taken into their custody. Five days ago, Jed Sawyer, better known as the Leatherface Killer thanks to the infamous 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre' that occurred in 1974, was also removed from his prison cell and taken away to an undisclosed location by GJN Agents. Among other killers that the GJN has taken custody over include serial killer and cannibal, Hannibal Lecter, Ricky Caldwell, AKA: 'the Santa Claus killer,' and the recently captured Victor Crowley, who, before his capture, was thought only to be a myth."

"In bussiness, Detroit-based mega-corporation Omni Consumer Products has announced the appointment of a new CEO after the firing of Raymond Sellars. The new CEO, Richard 'Dick' Jones, has wasted no time announcing his first project for both the company and the Detroit Police Department. The Enforcement Droid, Series 209 will be intended as a fully automated peacekeeping machine dedicated to urban protection to combat the ever growing crime wave in Detroit. David Xanatos, CEO of Xanatos Industries, has responded to this announcement by offering OCP to help fund the project, sparking rumors of the droid's expansion to New York shound it prove to be a success in Detroit."

"The bidding war is officially over. After eight grueling months, InGen has finally found a new company to once again buy them out. After the disaster that occurred at the company's theme park, 'Jurassic World,' located on the island of Isla Nublar, InGen once again found itself struggling for the past three years, all the while Isla Nublar faces destruction at the hands of its long dormant volcano. For eight months now, companies such as OCP, KaibaCorp, Extensive Enterprises and Xanatos Industries have all been trying to outbid one another for a buyout of the failing company. But, as of today, InGen's now former CEO, Robert Mills, has reported that InGen is now under the control of McFist Industries. While the company's owner and head CEO, Hannibal McFist, was unavailable at the time to make a statement during the initial press conference, his head of the company's science division, Willem Viceroy, had this to say."

"It's important that we keep John Hammond's dream alive," Viceroy began at the press conference. "But it is also important to understand that these creatures are living beings like us who only wish to exist. So, acting on orders directly from Mr. McFist, we have begun to move the dinosaurs off of Isla Nublar before its imminent destruction and back onto the remnants of Site B on Isla Sorna, which will become a protected sanctuary for these animals to live out the rest of their lives in peace and away from any further contact from the outside world."

"While this is a truly momentous occasion for both InGen and McFist Industries, it still comes at a tragic price," Casey said as the feed went back to the newsroom. "Yesterday, the body of InGen's chief scientist, Dr. Henry Wu, was discovered in the bedroom of his home. Authorities say that the cause of death was determined to be suicide as the former scientist fell into a deep depression after being let go from InGen for his negligence in creating the creature that was known as the 'Indominus Rex.'"


"I gotta say, Viceroy, I'd buy that for a dollar," McFist said as he switched off the screen in his office. "You had those morons eating out of your hand."

"I know how to talk to stupid people," Viceroy repiled.

"I'm glad I'm not one of those people," Hannibal said with a smile, to which his right-hand man facepalmed at.

"By the way, that was a stroke of genius for making Wu's death look like suicide," his boss added. "You called the right guys for the job."

"I aim to please," the scientist mentioned. "By the way, Shego called. She wants double for pulling the job off like you promised her."

"Oh, yeah, I should get on that," McFist agreed. "Don't wanna be on the wrong side of that woman."

"It's too bad Wu wasn't on board with the new job," Viceroy added. "But he shouldn't have threatened to go to the authorities right to our faces."

'Yeah, I never got that in the movies," the businessman commented. "I mean, you know that the guys you work for will kill people, so why threaten them when you know that that they'll just make you disappear? I mean, seriously, just leak the sources and vanish!"

"Hannibal, focus," his right-hand man reminded. "We now have everything InGen's weapons programs were working on, not to mention that we have total access to new test subjects on Isla Sorna that we can take whenever we want."

"It better be worth the six billion I just sank into this mess of a company," Hannibal grunted in annoyance. "You better find something good in those files, Viceroy, or it's your job!"

Viceroy let out an annoyed sigh at that threat. It had taken him weeks to convince his boss to throw in with the other companies that were trying to buy out InGen, calming that they could find something worth using to finally destroy the Ninja. Hannibal agreed for only that sole reason. Despite the Sorcerer now being long gone, Hannibal now sought to kill the Ninja as a matter of pride.

"So, what have we got?" his boss asked.

Viceroy pulled up the files from InGens weapon's division and began to scroll through the different projects. While there were some promising ideas, one stuck out to Viceroy the most. But, in order to accomplish this goal, he'd need some extra help. With that, he pulled out his phone and called the one person who could not only help finish the project, but also create more than one at a time.

"Anton? It's Viceroy," he began over the phone. "You still in the monster making business? Because I got a little project that's right up your ally...The name? It's called Project: Indoraptor."
