"Fury had known only one thing when he was born, anger. It was what his race was known for, being the most aggressive and irritated warriors across the galaxy. Willing to fight any battle if it benefit them, however. For Fury's sake, left him to be imprisoned by a more powerful warrior. To which later on during his capture, Sledge. Came along and bought him out, as well killed his captor seeing how it was a crime to keep a warrior such as Fury in chains and not using his talents to fight stronger enemies. At first the two weren't exactly friends, however. With each outlaw they captured and battle they engaged in, Fury grew to respect Sledge as well how he handled each job. However, with being around Invincible and the humans. Fury noticed him going soft, to which he decided to do something about it. Seeing how they were on a planet full of criminals, he decided to do some punishing."
Wall Street-Morning
It was a usual morning at the city, people doing their routines. Everyone managing to keep the city up and running, however there was a small issue. There was a battle happening right now in the middle of Wall Street, the villains behind this attack was the Lizard League. Right now they were in a battle with the all new Guardians of the Globe. There were several green suited men shooting at the heroes who were getting the civilians out of the way of fire, Robot was leading the charge as he firing back at the Lizard League.
"Scans show that they are the grunts of the league, the other members are possibly preparing to ambush us. We need to get the civilians out of here."
Informing the others of how there were still people on a bus which had the heroes pinned, with Dupli-Kate and Shrinking Ray were helping out with the people getting to a safe place. However, they were quickly shot at by a man wearing a stripped orange and black suit. A powerful toxic blast came from the side as it melted half of the bus.
"Come on ladies, where you think your going? The fun has just started."
Asking them as he was preparing for a another toxic like blast at them, however. The two saw a large shadow above him, looking up. It was Monster Girl who landed right onto him as well grabbed him by the leg. Slamming him left to right, she hurled him towards a truck as the lizard villain went right through.
"And the fun's ended."
Monster Girl finishing his sentence as she rushed over to handle the men who continued to shoot at them. On the side was both Rex and Black Sampson handling a larger member of the league who was trying to swat them away.
"I can handle him, go help with evacuation."
"I can this orange bastard, you handle evacuation gramps!"
The two arguing as they were suddenly back handed by the large lizard villain getting tossed to the side, looking at Black Samson. He smiled in a sadistic manner as he begun cracking his knuckles at the sight of the armored hero.
"Black Samson? The original guardian that lost his powers? Didn't expect to see you here, oh well. If your going be in a fight without powers, better learn when your out muscle."
Speaking to Samson as he was about to crush his skull, however. Samson delivered a blast into his face blinding him, moving out of the way. He continued to shoot energy shots from his gauntlets at him, keeping the man blind. Black Samson rushed in with several punches making the large enemy moving back. Continuing to attack him, he wasn't focused by a woman leaping upon him as well having long claws slashing his jet pack.
"Stop playing with your food Komodo and kill them already!"
She announced as Samson lost control and fell onto the ground, rolling his eyes. Komodo walked over to Rex as the explosive hero continued to try and blow him up. However there seemed to be no luck, however as Rex possibly had him weaken. The two heard a static like sound buzzing around them.
"Do you guys have some kind of energy weapon? Because I don't think reptiles can use that since you got four fingers."
Rex making a joke at Salamander as this only enraged the man, however. They heard a animal roar as they soon see a energy blast separating the two, both males looked to see the mysterious attacker. It was Fury, who was walking in a slow manner holding his sword and looking at the fight happening.
"Hey ass hat, you almost shot me!"
Shouting at him as Rex thought he was going end up destroyed by the sudden blast, Fury. Didn't answer as he aimed his black sword towards Salamander as he rushes him. The lizard themed male noticed the cat as he quickly engaged in the fight, Fury. Watched his opponent coming at him, as well of blocking his attacks. Robot, who was handling with the green suited shooters noticed the arrival of Fury.
"If he is here then where's Invincible."
Questioning about the sudden arrival of the lion warrior as Fury continued to attack Komodo, so far there seem to be no stopping the red lion as he was focused on handling Komodo. Gripping both hands on his handle, he delivered a powerful slash right threw Komodo as he was bleeding out from the chest. Everyone watched at the grizzly sight as Fury looked at the men who saw one of their strongest members fallen.
"Who's next?"
Fury asking them with a growl as the green suited men decided to run away from the feral monster, not taking any chances. Fury decided to pursue them, however he was stopped by Monster Girl as she bear hugged him.
"That's enough kitty cat."
Informing him as Fury struggled to break free from her hold seeing how the men were getting away, however Robot was able to stop the remaining forces. The other Guardians looked at the wild lion as he tried to break free from the hold. Rex, looked rather angry with still almost getting blasted by Fury's attack.
"This animal needs to lose a fucking life he he's going act like a mangy cat."
Threatening to deliver a same energy attack like Fury did, however Samson stopped him seeing how that wasn't going help him. Especially now with the situation under control along of how the street looked like it needed some help cleaning up.
"Worry about him later, we need to think about the damages that have happened here."
Getting serious of how that with the battle ended, they needed to focus on seeing if there were people injured in the fight. Or if they needed to get medical attention right away, Rex merely ignored him as he decided to check up on if someone needed his attention. Looking at Fury, he quickly gets out of Monster girl's hold as he looked at the humans.
"This is a battle, you don't let your prey get away. Especially letting them know your weak."
Fury stated in a serious manner of how whenever there is a battle for survival or hunt going on, there could not be any survivors or anyone who could get back up. The guardians could see the anger in his eyes of how what he saying was real, though they didn't believe it.
"We don't kill, wherever you come from. This planet's heroes don't kill our enemies."
Robot informing him of how they don't kill people, Fury. Merely scuffed at him as he decided to walk away from them seeing how he couldn't stand the weaklings. The remaining guardians looked at the street seeing how it might need assistance with clean. They decided to focus on them, while Robot would send a message to Wrench about his teammate coming in and trying to kill someone in the middle of the fight.
Later at a rooftop
Looking over the edge of the city, Fury was standing over the sight of what made this planet different from the countless worlds that he traveled with Sledge. It made no sense to him on why this planet was changing him, and only him. Wrench was still the same whimpering robot, along of Poisandra who stick to her mate's side. The only one who wasn't giving into this weakness was him. As he continued to watch over the city, he heard something coming from behind him.
"I know that scent anywhere."
Smelling something from behind, in which came in the form of coins. Hearing them being thrown towards him, Fury dodged to the side where there were coins thrown at him. Which exploded at the spot where Fury was standing. Checking out who attacked him, he saw a familiar monster. Gold Digger, he was holding his pick axe and aiming it at him.
"Remember me fuzzball?"
Asking Fury as he was still upset for how on the ship, Fury bullied him half of the times when he was locked up in his cage. Fury, growled as he thought using his sword would be to fast. Seeing a outlaw that he captured, he wanted to make this slow. Putting his sword away, he showed off his golden claws at Gold Digger.
"Yeah, I needed someone to use my claws on. And seeing you survive that crash, it's just to good to end it."
Responding as Fury was ready to pounce on him and try to tear him apart, however. There was a whistle seeing how Gold Digger wasn't alone, stopping from attacking his captor. He moved to the side showing who he was with, Fury looking by the door was a dark skin man with a grey hoodie.
"I told you, we need him to get Invincible. There's time for some hitting later."
The man telling Gold Digger as the treasure themed villain merely pouted seeing how he wanted revenge against Fury. However, he was the only one that showed compassion when he freed him from his human captors.
"Where's Invincible at? Your usually around the kid when your on television."
"That's Sledge, I'm my own warrior. As well heard about you Titan, have quite the set of armor. Let's see if my claws can't break.."
Responding to Titan as he was ready to attack Titan, before the two could engage in a fight, they heard a pair of jets above them. Looking up, it was both Invincible and Sledge who looked at the three who were staring at each other possibly going to have a showdown.
"Are we interrupting something? Got a call from Robot about a cat of ours going out of control."
Invincible asking as he lands right between them, Sledge. Looked over at Fury who was upset with his crewmate as he went off on his own without informing the rest about where he was going. Invincible, looked over recognizing the rock themed villain but not the walking treasurer.
"Hey Sledge, is he one of those 'outlaws' that you talked about? The ones from your ship."
Questioning Sledge about the gold monster as the bounty hunter looked over seeing how it was him. Nodding, Invincible prepared for whatever might happen. Titan, stopped the moment seeing how there was much more to do then having a rematch.
"We didn't come looking for a fight. I need your help"
Informing Invincible of how he was looking for help, and asking him of all people. While Sledge and Fury question this request, Mark couldn't keep a serious face seeing how this felt like a joke to him.
"Why would I help you? You're a criminal."
Responding to Titan's request of how the last time he met the walking rock man, he was aiding two criminals trying to do a bank job. Titan, rolled his eyes on how a kid like him didn't know the meaning of the word 'criminal'.
"I'm not a criminal, I just owed one money, and now I can't get out."
Explaining to Mark on how while he did do several criminal acts, he did do it for fun but that of as a job. Mark still didn't buy it as Gold Digger, who's been a while as well hearing his new friend's story on the encounter with the boy. Was a 'hero', who looked after people when they need help.
"Aren't you a hero? Helping people and taking down bad guys? You should him us take down his boss. They don't get any worse than him. Especially compared to Sledge."
Comparing Titan's boss much more threatening than Sledge when he captured him, still right in front of him. Sledge felt somewhat annoyed of how this human villain was much more threatening than him. Feeling like he wanted to use his blaster, held back seeing how he was curious about this request from the human.
"He's name is Machine Head."
Titan informing them as the two aliens thought it sounded like a robot, however for Mark. He shrugged his shoulders as he never heard of him since he's been with his dad and was told half of the villains he's battle, and he's never heard of a man called 'Machine Head'.
"Of course, you haven't heard of him. You're a rich kid from the suburbs."
Responding to Mark's knowledge on the villain, as well guessing that he was from the suburbs. This made the boy flustered as well trying to think of a comeback, however Sledge stopped him seeing how this was getting interesting as he was fascinated with criminal underworlds since he worked for shady figures.
"The point is that Machine Head runs this city. If it's illegal and it makes money, it's his, and when people need to die to keep it that way, he's got muscle like me to take care of it."
Explaining about how the crime boss runs the city, which involved criminal activities that made him more powerful and wealthier. As the bounty hunter got curious of how a human could get that power from a small planet like this, Mark didn't exactly seemed interested in handling this small leveled threat.
"Yeah, I'm more like a big picture superhero. Saving the planet, stuff like that. Why don't you give Fight Force a call?"
Stating to him of how Invincible handles much bigger crisis's, as well would leave this type of problem to a group of heroes. While Sledge could agree on the concept, he still dislike the fact that this was a opportunity for him to get known better. Mark was slowly decided to head out, however Titan walked out to stop him.
"Sure, man, just fly away. Forget about everyone else down here. Or, let me show you what you don't see from up there."
Titan giving him a choice of going to investigate this matter and see what's actually going on while he's dealing with other problems. Mark, flew back down to think about the choice. However, Sledge knew this game as he stopped the masked kid seeing how he wanted to know about Gold Digger.
"Not buying it slick, if this machine head has so much power and money. How come your not able to handle this? Gold Digger there has enough coins to blow up a building. Why not have him help out with the dirty work."
Questioning that Titan had a rather strong outlaw on his side, along that with his strange abilities. They could easily overwhelm Machine Head and whatever he might have up his sleeve.
"Because your armored dick, when I joined up with Titan. Machine Head had someone with teleporting powers locate others like me."
Explaining about that when he team up with Titan, Machine Head decided to look into if there were others who were in the city. This got Sledge and Fury's attention seeing that most of them were worth a lot of money, along of that they could expose them to the public. Looking at Invincible, it seemed to be important to look into this.
"Alright, let's go see how dangerous this 'Machine Head' is."
Agreeing to it as he joined up with Titan and Gold Digger to see what made Machine head so dangerous, meanwhile for Sledge. He wanted to have a talk with Fury seeing how he almost got the crew in trouble.
"Are you out of your mind? You tried to kill someone in the public? Why didn't you just break his bones or chop off a limb. At least he'd be still alive!"
Shouting out at Fury of how if he killed someone, Cecil would arrest them and send them back to prison. Fury, growled at the weakness of his teammate fearing for returning to the prison they were sent to.
"When did you become weak to fear the words of a human? We have obtain that of new power from arriving. And you decide to roll over for these.."
As Fury continued to speak ill of Sledge, the reptile hunter kicked him in the stomach seeing how he wasn't weak nor would let Fury talk to him like the outlaws they both captured. This was the same strength Fury saw when he first helped him be free of his captor, looking up. Sledge's red eyes looked down at him.
"I, am not weak. Nor roll for anyone, the reason why I'm doing is this for my girlfriend. The robot that can possibly make a ship for us to leave this hell hole. And you, to be my muscle just in case if anything happens. So we have to think, before we fight. Got it?"
Sounding like his old self as he was strong, serious when it came to a job and knew what to do in a situation like this. Fury, seeing how Sledge was still a hard headed bounty hunter merely smiled. Agreeing with him, he stood up by Sledge's side seeing that he hasn't lost his ruthless strength. The two would prepare to follow Invincible along make sure that once this was over, they could get back to space.
In the Afternoon
With Titan and Gold Digger showing the operations that Machine head ran threw which involved the cleaning business. Racketeering money in ordinary business's, this showed Mark that he was doing criminal activity in the public without anyone knowing. Meaning this was worth taking him down, the five vigilantes looked over at that of Machine Head's penthouse where it looked like a fortress.
"This is the only place we're guaranteed to find Machine Head. It's a 60 stories complex with his room lined with windows, but they're bomb proofed with something. There's a whole team of ex military assholes patrolling the place, packing the latest shit, too."
Titan informing them about how sturdy the crime boss's base was, looking at the sight. It seemed like a easy smash and grab, Sledge could rush in and do it. But Mark stopped due to how he didn't come with Titan and Gold Digger when they showed him the true side of the city. Machine Head had a second in command, a teleporter by the name of Isotope who could teleport others and himself anywhere.
"Alright, I get it. Armed building, lots of guard. I'm tough, but I'm not stupid. Can't the teleporter guy just pull Machine Head out once we get close?"
Invincible bringing up a fact of how with a teleporter by his side, Machine Head could get out of there in a single moment. However, Gold Digger laughed at the young man seeing how while he may be fast and strong, money was always motivates everyone.
"I took care of Isotope. He's got a girl he sees a couple of times a week. I paid her extra to keep him there all evening."
The treasure monster explaining to Mark about how he was able to lend his hand into this, while it was good. They still need to be ready, as Fury was sharpening his seven branch sword getting ready for the fight. He noticed Titan looking at his phone, which showed a woman and a child by her side.
"That's your family."
Sledge questioning him which got Titan's attention, seeing how he would need to get his head straight when this was over. Placing his phone away. He got serious seeing how he might have pulled a sensitive cord.
"Yeah, they are. As well the reason why I'm in this mess, and when it's over. I'm going do right by them."
Informing the bounty hunter at how the possible reason was he needed money to support them, Fury. Could tell that while Titan was formidable opponent with incredible strength, he had a soft heart for his family. As the five looked at the building, they needed a plan to get to the building without slowing down.
"So, how do we get in?"
Invincible asking the others, in which Sledge had a idea. Back at the penthouse, the guards were patrolling outside of the office keeping a eye out for any kind of strange activity. Stopping for a smoke, the guard noticed a reflection in the window.
"What the.."
About to swear, however coming at him fast was that of a rock like ball. However it was Titan who curled up into a ball and smashed into the room. Doing a tuck and roll, Titan emerges seeing the guards coming at him. Aiming their guns directly towards Titan, they were unaware of both Invincible and Sledge hurling both Fury and Gold Digger at them.
"Special delivery dumb asses!"
Sledge shouted as both monsters did their business with the guards taking them out. As they were able to handle them, Fury slashed the door in front of them and kicking it down. The five looked inside seeing that of a office room, and a man at the edge of the window writing down something.
"Machine head, it's over. Your coming with us."
Invincible announced as he rushed over towards his desk hitting it at the top seeing if he'd get the man's attention. Getting a better look, he had the head of a actual robot. The four walked over to join up with Invincible to see if he needed back up.
"Oh, hello, Invincible. Titan. Monster's I don't give a shit."
Summing up the group to which made them a bit surprised, seeing how he wasn't frighten by the fact he was standing in a room filled with five meta beings ready to hurt him if he tried anything.
"Look guys, I get it. The armor lizard there is tough, the cat is some pissed off animal, The walking jewelry case got shiny coins. As well you two, the guys leading this team. I already knew you were coming."
Explaining to them of how he predicated all five of them appearing in his office, as well going to grab him out of his own building. This made them cautious as it had to be a lie, though. Not knowing the tone of Machine head, he was telling the truth.
"I also knew exactly when you and this giant pile of shit would walk in here and ruin my doors. Also, Italian maple, by the way!"
Stating to them how the door was valuable, in which they didn't care seeing how they could still handle him. However before they could, they heard a buzzing sound which was Machine Head's second hand man Isotope. Who teleported right by his side making the crime boss laugh.
"Maybe instead of using that rock for a head and crown brain of yours, they should have told you that they stole me a microchip which can predict any outcome. Especially the one I'm in now."
Bringing up about before they went to doing this job, both Titan and Gold Digger stole a device which allowed Machine Head full capability to predict any dangerous moment that would happen around him. While Sledge and Fury looked angered by the two, Mark still wasn't hesitate by this as he still was going bring in Machine Head.
"But I know it's not worth explaining to you morons what quantum probabilities are, but it doesn't matter, because, unlike all of you who have tons of interesting abilities. Which are fucking weird, except. I've got money!"
Announcing as he made Isotope use his powers, aiming both of his arms in the air. He summoned that of five individuals. The first two was a man wearing a dark yellow spandex that was producing electricity from his hands, another was a white fur lion with red and black clothing. While wielding a gold club, the other three was a man with grey clothing with pink tethers coming out of his chest. A man made out of living magma and a walking furnace.
"Five on five? Not so.."
Before Sledge could finish, he felt a object stabbing into his back. Going on the ground, the others turned around seeing three other monsters which had to be the outlaws both Sledge and Fury captured. One was a walking skeleton that looked rather muscular like, another was a crow themed creature with a black cape and red mask. The other, was a warden with several chains wrapped around him.
"Bones, Spellbinder and Slammer. Great."
"Yeah, Isotope found these guys trying to start their own gang. Offered them some money if they work for me, as well. Promising to kill you fuckers. Fun right?"
Machine Head responding to Fury as it wasn't a even five on five match, but a eight on five revolving possibly five dangerous villains that Machine Head hired to handle Invincible and Titan. Along three outlaws to handle Sledge and the other two, as the entire room was about to become a full on brawl.
