The Night The Lights Went Out In Bayville

It was the perfect plan. To wait until Wolverine's defenses were down and ambush him in a place he would never expect. He had taken over a dozen of Hydra's most experienced soldiers, given them the most high quality weapons and armor. He had even taken the precaution of having several more troops in tanks and robotic armor suits as backup in case some of his friends from the Institute interfered.

Unfortunately for Omega Red, he did not expect so many mutants, two GI Joes and three half drunk gods to be there at the same time.

"YEEEEHAAAAAAA!" Shipwreck shouted as the clanked the skulls of two Hydra troopers together.

"FEEL THE WRATH OF HERCULES!" Hercules shouted as he grabbed a tank and twirled it around. Afterwards he shook out, thenknocked out the very dizzy occupants before destroying it.

"Have some wine on me!" DB laughed as he created a giant wine vat that poured a huge wave of wine over several more troopers.

"This is fun!" Fred shouted as he clobbered more troopers. "Very therapeutic!"

"AAGGHH!" Omega Red screamed as Thor sent him sailing backwards with a hit from his hammer.

"Pick a card! Any card!" Remy laughed as he sent several charged cards towards another tank, which was easily dealt with. Peter was in his metal form destroying another robot. Kurt was teleported one Hydra soldier into a fountain. Roadblock and Hank were also finding it easy to fight. Logan was slashing through robot armor as easily as a hot knife through butter. Lance was creating earthquakes and giant holes in the ground. As for Doug and Warren…Well…

"Oooh! Look at all the fun stuff going on," Warren hiccuped. Doug was holding him down.

"Great, I get the hard job!" Doug moaned as he tried to keep Warren from taking off.

"I wanna fight!" Warren tried to escape.

"No you don't!" Doug struggled. "Not in your condition!"

"Second and third wave! Attack! Attack!" Omega Red shouted in his communicator. More robots flew in over the horizon.

"Robots…" Logan swore. "They had to bring flamin' robots here!"

"Are these the Sentinels thoust talked about?" Thor asked.

"Nah, Sentinels are a lot bigger," Logan dodged a laser blast. "But these things are just as nasty!"

"The more the merrier!" Hercules laughed as he smashed a tank into one.

Meanwhile on the local news…

"Animal control officers are baffled at this strange phenomenon," Reporter Trish Tilby spoke on camera. It showed several dozen cats surrounding the FOH building. "The animals refuse to allow the occupants of the building to leave. The trapped members of the FOH claim that this is a mutant attack. They claim a giant cat woman is behind this and was last seen chasing a huge dog man…with some kind of gold scepter and a ball of catnip. However no mutants have been found at the scene."

BOOM!

"What the…?" Trish looked around. "Harv! Get a shot of that! I think I spoke too soon!" The camera took a long-range picture of several Hydra robots flying, shooting lasers and exploding. "There's some kind of firefight going on over there! More robots and…Are those tanks? Come on! We have to get in closer!"

"Oh no…" Xavier winced as he saw what was happening on the television back at the mansion. "This is a disaster."

"You're telling me!" Todd said. "The place where we used to get the best hot wings in Bayville is being burned to ashes! I loved that place yo!"

Sam looked at him. "You are a very weird little person, you know that?"

"Wavedancer, use your teleportation watches to transport a team there and help them," Ororo ordered. "I'll go call the lawyers."

The fight continued as more Hydra troops and robots appeared. "Just how many people did Omega Red think he needed to take me on?" Logan shouted.

"Not enough apparently," Hercules laughed as he smashed another tank.

"Let's rock and roll!" Lance laughed as he created a huge shockwave that knocked over a robot trooper. Unfortunately he didn't notice another one looming over him until it was too late.

"Lance!" Kitty then appeared and grabbed him, phasing him clear of the damage. Angelica blasted the robot from the sky with her heat rays.

"What are you doing here?" Lance blinked.

"Saving your butts," Angelica flew up to them. "What do you think?"

"Yeah it's kind of hard to miss a bunch of giant robots running around in the streets," Kitty said. "Especially when they're on TV!"

"AAAHHH!" Several Hydra troopers ran from a very ticked off Rina. "RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!"

"This is madness!" Omega Red screamed at the mutants. "That is it! I don't care if I have to blow up this entire city! I will get my revenge on you Wolverine!" He activated his communicator. "Hydra Fangs! Blow up the entire city on my order!"

"Guys! We got trouble!" Angelica shouted as five fighters flew in.

"What do those things do?" Thor asked.

"They're gonna blow up the city!" Kurt told him.

"Then I shall destroy them!" Thor lifted up his hammer. It began to glow. "Mjolnir! Give me thy strength and show your fury!"

Suddenly lightning crashed in the sky. "Storm's not doing this is she?" Lance gulped.

"No she's not," Althea said. "Unless whatever the lawyers are telling her isn't good."

Suddenly Thor let loose his hammer, which started to glow with electricity. To their amazement it hit all five aircraft in succession and flew back to Thor's hand like a boomerang. "AAHHHHH!" Thor shouted a battle cry as lightning struck all around him.

"Whoa…" Todd gulped. "Remind me never to tick that guy off!"

"I will get my revenge on you Wolverine! If it is the last thing I do!" Omega Red screamed as he fled with all the Hydra that could move.

"And it may be," Althea called out.

"There goes Omega Red and what's left of Hydra," Pietro said. The streetlight above him fizzled out. "Not to mention the city's main the electric power cables."

"Way to go Blondie…" Logan groaned as the lights flickered out all over Bayville.

"Uh maybe we should all go?" Todd asked. "While it's dark and nobody can see us?"

"For once Toad, you have the right idea!" Logan said. Then a bright light shone on all of them. "Oh crap…"

"Stay right there!" A familiar voice boomed from one of several SHEILD helicopters. One of the helicopters landed and two familiar faces appeared.

"Why am I not surprised you're in the middle of all this?" Captain America sighed. He looked at Nick Fury. "All right! I owe you twenty bucks!"

"Cap? What the hell are you doing here?" Logan asked.

"We were sent to warn you about Hydra," Captain America told him. "Omega Red had set a trap for you." He looked at the devastation. "Apparently you didn't need our help."

"Nice to see you people actually left some buildings intact for once," Nick Fury folded his arms. "But did you really have to cause a blackout?"

"Actually the fault was mostly mine," Thor coughed. "I got carried away."

"Who the Sam Hill is this guy?" Nick Fury asked.

"Thor, god of Thunder," Thor told him. "That over there is Hercules."

"Yeah and I'm Mickey Mouse," Nick Fury gave him a skeptical look.

"It's true Mr. Mouse," Hercules hiccuped. "We are the gods of the ancients."

"Yeah right," Fury chomped on his cigar. "Now look here, I don't know what happened but…"

Suddenly there was a crash of thunder and the sky was bathed in bright light. A giant man with a long beard clad in brilliant Viking armor appeared. At his side were Anubis and Sif. "THOR!"

"Uh oh…" DB gulped. "Thor your Dad's here and he's pretty mad."

"Holy Toledo…" Fury's cigar fell out of his open mouth. "Who is that guy?"

"I believe that is Odin, the lord of all the Viking Gods," Hank was sobering up very fast.

"Thor! Thou hath most displeased me!" Odin barked. "Once again thou has broken the law and trespassed into the mortal world! Look at the devastation around you! Hast thou learned nothing?"

"Uh, excuse me your godship sir!" Shipwreck waved. "It wasn't all his fault. Hydra had a lot to do with it too."

"Dad shut up," Althea glared at him.

"It's true sir," Hercules offered. "There were these villains…"

"Don't bother, I hath seen everything!" Odin shouted. "And you are not one to talk sirrah! I will have words with your father soon enough about your behavior!"

"Oh boy…" Hercules gulped. "I am in deep Pegasus do do…"

"Thoust certainly are!" Odin snapped.

"Father please!" Thor said. "The fault was mine alone! Do not punish anyone else but me!"

"Very well," Odin stroked his beard. "You still wish to help mortals despite your past lessons?"

"I do Father," Thor said. "I still believe my powers can benefit mortals."

"Then in this mortal world you shall remain with a quarter of your powers restrained," Odin spoke. "For twenty and five turns of the seasons. If in that time you have succeeded in making this Earth a better place, you shall prove yourself worthy to return to Asgard."

"Only a quarter?" Lance whispered.

"Trust me, that's a lot for a god," DB whistled.

Thor started to glow. He seemed to be in pain. Then he slumped to the ground. "Work hard and bring glory," Odin ordered. "If thou fails, all thine powers shall be stripped and thou will permanently be made mortal! Immortals, it is time we shall depart."

"Yes and Hercules your father has told me that he has some stables for you to clean when you get back," Anubis folded his arms. "And that is the first of your punishments."

"I was right…" Hercules groaned.

"Thank you for your assistance Misfits and X-Men," Anubis said. "But it is time we departed. Farewell." All the gods then disappeared, leaving Thor behind.

A piece of paper fluttered to the ground. Thor caught it and read it. "What is it?" Doug asked him.

"My divorce papers," Thor groaned. "She got the castle, the chariots…Everything. FINE! GOOD RIDDANCE! IT'S WORTH IT! HA! HA!"

"Do I really want to know the whole story behind this?" Captain America looked at Roadblock.

"No you don't," Roadblock shook his head.

"I didn't think so," Captain America sighed.

"Some days it just ain't worth it to get outta bed," Nick Fury held his head. "God I need a drink."

"That's how this mess started, ironically," Hank told him.

"You okay Thor?" Fred asked.

"Yes. But where shall I go now?" Thor asked.

"Oh no…" Logan winced in pain. "Not here…Please not here."

"Relax Logan," Captain America put his hand on his shoulder. "I think I can help. Thor, how would you like a job?"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

A few hours later several exhausted X-Men were gathering in the living room to relax after the night's events. "What a night…" Kurt plopped in his chair.

"We're lucky the Institute has separate generators," Remy said. "Otherwise we'd be in the dark too."

"I just feel lucky we don't have a Norse God living in the house now," Rogue agreed. "Although I gotta admit he would have been a lot better than Mystique any day of the week. Who am I kidding? A dead rat would be more welcome than her!"

"The Professor is still on the phone with the lawyers," Bobby told them. "I think this time they won't be able to get a lawsuit to stick against us since SHEILD promised to back us up."

"We may be safe from legal charges but that ain't gonna stop folks from blaming us," Rogue told him. "Why people in Bayville hate us reason Number 462!"

"Well at least Scott and Jean weren't here for all this," Kitty said. "You know how uptight they've been lately."

At that moment Scott and Jean trudged in. "What a night…" Jean moaned. "Hey did you guys know that all the street lights in Bayville are out?"

"Yeah, so how was your evening?" Kitty decided to change the subject.

"Don't ask…" Scott groaned. "Please don't ask."

Next: What happened with Scott and Jean? What happened to Thor? And what happened to the plot of this story? Most of your questions will be revealed in the next chapter! But since I'm going off on vacation it'll be a while. You can always read some of my old stuff and review it! Have fun! I know I will!
