((OOC-just to let you know Fist is, like Lord Dire, has had many incarnations so he is all of them here. He is a SS/Fire Aura Brute, a Soldier/traps MM, and a Thermonuclear/traps Corrupter.))
The army was restless. Their leader had stopped in mid speech and went outside. A few seconds after they heard a horrifying scream. Fist came in, "Nevermind about the rest of the speech. We start now!"
________
*at Steel Canyon*
"Attack!" That was the first words that were heard from Iron Fist as he came into Steel Canyon. "Distract Nemesis. We will destroy the rest later. If any heroes attack you, destroy them. If not, then just keep Nemesis busy while you wait for me. I'm going to look for Lord Dire." With that Iron Fist covered himself with a plasma like aura, blasting the less wary automotons out of the way as he slowly set off to look for Lord Dire. It has been a long time. I will not have my prize taken from me, not even from you.
*Lord Dire Stood on a different rooftop studying the remains of a sensor beacon. one that had been trailing him even while cloaked.*
* He was safe now having deepened the cloaking effect to include thermal and infared wavelengths. it wasnt as advanced as his own technology still it was an impressive bit of technology. and only one other person used such technology.*
" Iron Fist." he grated so old friend you survived our last encounter. well I can certainly fix that.
*his musings were interrupted by an increase in the amount of gunfire and explosions. A small but determined battalion of armed and armored soldiers were rapidly making there way through the streets of Steel Canyon. though Nemesis seemed to be there primary target they spared noone. Hero or civilian longbow or nemesis. all were targets. And leading them wreathed in Fire hot enough to give even his armor trouble was Iron Fist himself. HE seemed to eb searching for something. and Lord Dire realized that it was he that was the focus of his search.
Delphi chimed in over his commsystem. " Lord Dire, Omega protocols initated and standing ready." the female voice stated calmly.
" Initiate on my command and scramble comm signal to new frequencies."
" confirmed Lord Dire. channels switched, initating jamming signals over wide band frequencies."
There old friend deal with that. your troops well have to rely on extreme close ranged communication systems and visual signals. they well be easier to cut off and destroy.
then Lord Dire Lifted off and landed next to the 2 heroes. dropping his cloaking device as he landed down where Billyboy and Mutai Kid were faicng down the remenants of the Nemesis troops in Blyde Square.
" Heroes a new threat emerges." said Lord Dire Imperiously to the 2 heroes. " his Name is Iron Fist. he is extremely dangerous and in command of a large contingent of Soldiers that even now approach the square. Also I Have detected a large build up of Steam Fusion energy beneath the City. Nemesis may not be done yet.
So you mean you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword; and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

"Oh thanks for that GREAT news!" Mutai Kid said wryly in response to Lord Dire's pronouncement of a new threat.
What is it Masterminds day? First Nemesis attacks, then Lord Dire makes an appearance, and now what, another meglomaniac?!
As the heroes and villian stood watching the oncoming wave of soldies sweep through the Nemesis lines a great and terrible CRAAACKKKKK! was heard from behind. The three turned in unison looking toward where the sound originated, it was back in the center of Blyde Square! A huge fissure started to errupt right in front of the remnants of the great statue. As the fissure widened the statue began to fall forward, slowly at first, then gaining momentum as gravity took over. With a mighty crash and resounding THUD, tons of debris blew through the square in all directions.
Leaping to a better vantage point on top a nearby office building, the three figures saw two gigantic Jaegers similar to those which had been in the base, except these were fitted with large boring arms where pincers would have been. Following the behemouths were four Fake Nemesis, each carrying what appeared to be missle launchers on their backs. Following these were a series of Jaegers and Grenediers and other Nemesis units still pouring out from the gaping hole where the statue once was affixed.
"Secure the square!" the Fake Nemesis' said in unison. With that command several units broke from the main column and set up a perimeter.
Mutai Kid and Billyboy were stunned. They'd been fighting what seemed like all day, dispatching Nemesis troops left and right, but now it was like a whole new ballgame, and they were the visiting team!
"We are gonna need some serious backup!" Mutai Kid looked over at Billyboy. "You better go check with Positron and Valkyrie to see what the ETA is on support."
"Well Lord Dire, you got any bright ideas? Were gonna get caught between a rock and a hard place unless we can come up with something quick!" Mutai Kid looked over at Lord Dire as he said this, because he was fast running out of ideas that wouldn't end up with him dead or in a real world of pain.
"It is that balance, the ground between EB and AV, where the PvP struggle should exist. Where a 1v1 becomes a struggle of equals, and 1vMany gives the benefit to the 1."
Freedom: Fireocity, Electro Imp, Gotya
Infinity: Meteor Storm, Mutai Kid, General Bot, Da Smasher
"A trully bold stroke. He attacks with over whelming force exhausting the cities defenders then sends in a second larger wave."
He quickly scanned the breach from which the massive force poured like a demon army from the very depths of hell itself.
" A second command center." he stated evenly no hint of fatigue in his voice though he had been in the thick of the fighting.
" We must use the distraction created by Iron Fists sudden appearance. to locate and neutralize this new threat. only then well this be over."
quickly Delphi downloaded the cities sewer system diagrams to his armors GPS system. he calculated the closest possible entry way to the underground sewer system, and formt here they could make there way to the command bunker.
So you mean you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword; and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

Fist watched the new Nemesis troops without emotion. "Omega squad, secure those troops! Delpha squad attack, but ignore the heroes! Alpha squad, come with me!" with a quik succession of orders he had his entire army ready to face the new threat. Iron Fist reached into the flap of his suit, pressing something gently. A few seconds later, accomponied with a small 'pop' anoyher of his troops appeared in front of him. This one was also wearing a cape and had gloves that crudely resembled Fist's own. "My liege? How may I be of service?" "I need your psy." said Fist simply, "I need to contact Lord Dire. Tell him this. 'You needs to see me in warehouse #7309 to have a little chat. No tricks. And if you remember, old friend, then you will know that I can never break an oath. I pledge this: If you come there is a high chance that you will be interested. There will be no heroes accompying you. But be warned. If there are any tricks on your part whatsoever, then my men and I will rip you to shreds. If you decline my offer you will leave unharmed. If you accept, then you could have power, riches, and virtually anything else you wanted. Remember, #7309. I'll be waiting...' And quote me on all that." Without another word he left with Alpha squad. Lord Dire? thought the officer, Iron Fist must be insane! I remember the last time that we met him... But the officer was no fool. He knew that disobeying Iron Fist's orders would mean death. So he started searching... Found him. he said to his lleader, via telepathy. I'm giving him your message. 'You need to see me in warehouse #7309...
Lord Dire listened to the messengers missive dispasionatly. He well knew that Fist did keep his word. it was one of the few things in common that they shared.
This could be the opportunity I need he thought to himself.
HE knew the servant Psy was a telepath. but he had no worries about him prying where he was not wanted. The psynaptic shielding in hsi helmet screened telepathy and provided for extremely painful feedback to anyone that tried. Sister Psyche had learned that lesson the hard way some years back. Combined with his intellect and force of will made it extremely difficult to breach his mental defences.
Still the offer had "possibilities" he would meet with him. then he would see how events played out.
Looming over Psy like some primordial warrior chieftain. He stated evenly.
"Tell your master that I well meet him at the appropriate time and place. His word well be his bond and if he breaks it I well kill him myself."
Turning back to the battle at hand. Lord Dire wasted little time. With quick precise movements he laid down another triage beacon. its healing waves of healing nanomeds were not as focused as his healing device but over the long term they would enable anyone he designated as friendly to enjoy a consistant respite. Then he activated his armors Shield generator encasing Billboy and Mutai Kid in protective forcefields. finally he activated a shield drone designating it to shadow Mutai Kid as he had the other one that now shadowed Valkyrie.The dorne would follow Mutai all the while creating a dispersion effect that would provide them with cover and saftey form the intensified return fire of the nemesis troops.
"Stand your ground till my return. We well trun this tide soon enough." turning to Psy. " Take me to Iron Fist slave."
Then he lifted off flying towards the warehouse #7309 where monumentous events would be discussed.
So you mean you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword; and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

Iron Fist sat in the warehouse where his henchmen were already setting up the equipment and banners with their emblem on it. He slowly sifted out his plan in his head. It cannot fail. It will not fail.
"Sir, Lord Dire has accompnied Psy and they are on their way." "Thank you, you may return to your post." The young soldier stumbled away, very confused. Did he just say thank you?!
In fact, that was exactly what he said. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he was not paying attention to what he was saying. I wonder. Has he changed? Or is he his same old arrogent self? A knock on the door and a deep metalic voice confirmed his suspicions. "Out of the way, you little runt before I lose my temper!" Oh yes, definately his old self. Iron Fist straightened his desk and put a small invelope into a hidden drawer. It's time...
((OOC- Sorry for using your character catsi I hope I got him right. 
))
"Right, I'm on it. Get the ETA or whatever on support." Billyboy said as he shot off into the sky. He knew the general direction of Positron, he could sense his defining energy signal, and he set off quickly, staying close to a skyscraper to avoid snipers. This proved a folly move, however, as something grabbed a fistful of his hair and held tight, causing him to yelp in pain as he turned around.
Billyboy's fists lit up with whirling energy, but they quickly returned to normal as he examined his assailent. She had to be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen! She had silky black hair done into a pony tail, but with her bangs falling free over her smooth face, reaching just underneath her eyes. She was tall for a girl, nearly Billyboy's height, with what Billyboy considered to be the perfect figure. Just the right amount of the perfect figure, which was accented by a black and red miniskirt and matching tank top.
"I'm sorry!" the girl yelled, putting her hands up in surrender. "I was just trying to get your attention! My name's Jessy, well, my hero name's Vim. I've was fighting for a little bit, trying to get the people safetly out of this building, but I got overwhelmed and ended up way up here, and they're coming for me! I don't know how to fly and I don't know if I can take a fall that long, please help!"
Billyboy simply stared at her for a moment longer.
"I'm sorry about pullling your hair, please help!" she pleaded again.
Billyboy suddenly processed what she had just said and his eyes widened. "Baby, with a body like that you can touch me anywhere." he replied with a smile. "Let's get you outa here."
Vim giggled and jumped into his waiting arms. "You're not the subtle one, are you?" she laughed.
"I'm a man of action, if you catch my drift." Billyboy replied slyly.
Vim laughed again. "That's the kind of guy I like!" she joked. "Shouldn't we be getting a move on? Where were you headed, anyway?"
Billyboy cleared his head with a vigorous shake and smiled again. "Lost track of things there for a second, I'm heading to see Positron about reinforcements or something for this big Nemesis attack. I was fighting in Blyde Square, cleared it practically by myself. I've been giving Nemmy trouble ever since I got here, it's great. I've beaten on the loser so many times I'm surprised he'd even show his ugly face again!"
"Big hero then, huh?" Vim asked. "I like you tank types, it's good to have a little protection aside from my innate invulnerability!"
"Maybe we could get to know each other better over a mission?" Billyboy said with a roguish grin. "We can take down a few Kronos titans and see where that takes us."
"I'd like that." Vim smiled. "Except you're not going to live to do another mission, much less see the end of this day."
"What?!" Billyboy said, startled.
"Why don't I show you?" Vim laughed as she grabbed the hero around the throat and punched him in the face at the exact same moment she kicked him in the crotch. Billyboy's eyes crossed in pain and he began plummeting toward the ground, his concentration on flying lost. He came to his sense a second later, but one bad thing about his energy powers was that he couldn't go airborne unless he was on a flat surface he could transfer energy into. There are no flat surfaces in the air.
Vim laughed and wrapped her arms around Billyboy's head as she set her feet against his neck. They landed on the ground with a thud, her full momentum nearly crushing the hero's windpipe despite his energy shield. Vim didn't let up as Billyboy coughed as gasped for air, however, she kept punching and kicking him like a wild animal, determined to beat him to death.
"Stupid stupid stupid stupid!" Vim laughed as Billyboy took hit after hit. "You see a pretty girl and lose all sense, just like all of you over-sexed teenage idiots! Nemesis watched you, Billyboy, he knew what you liked. And then he hired me, just to assassinate you. Gawd, you are such a stupid [censored]!"
Billyboy's fist connected solidly with Vim's face, sending her sprawling backwards as he quickly got to his feet. She jumped at him immediatly, her foot leading in a nasty kick, but he grabbed it and used the girl's own momentum to fling her into a nearby building with a smack. She dusted herself off and charged again, this time solidly connecting with the hero's face. Billyboy felt the full force of the super powered blow and was sent barrelling backwards, crashing into the ground and skidding several feet.
"You can't beat me!" Vim screamed as she ran at him.
"YOU MONOLOUGE TOO MUCH!" Billyboy bellowed as he met her with a punch to the face, transferring as much energy as possible into her. They both screamed, Vim from the pain and Billyboy from the pain of sending so much energy into her.
The bruised Billyboy collapsed onto the ground in a crumpled heap, unable to stay conscious after exerting himself so much and taking such a terrible beating. Vim swayed in place and stumbled from the pain, but she was strong and could take a lot of damage, she wouldn't go down that easy.
"So ends the saga of Billyboy." Vim spat as she kicked his nearly lifeless form into a pile of rubble. "I did it. Nobody else could. Not Dr. Phillis, not Nemesis, not Dreck or Vahzilok or any of those other losers! I did it!"
Vim sneered in victory and she took a mighty leap and landed with a mighty kick onto Billyboy's chest. A fountain of blood seemed to suddenly errupt from his mouth, covering his chin and neck.
"It's too bad." Vim said as she lifted her foot to finish the hero. "You're kind of cute. I might of taken you up on your offer if we'd met in different circumstances."
Lord Dire landed at the warehouse where Iron Fists soldiers busied themselves about their various preparations.
4 sentries approached him assault rifles locked and loaded. "Halt in the name of Lord Iron Fist!" one shouted forcefully.
His only responce was a Low Evil laugh. Lord Dires response to such would usualy have been quite lethal but in this case he was pressed for time.
" Take me to him minion. Now" He stated evenly with no small malice in his deep baritone voice.
"Escort us Lord Iron Fist is waiting for him. " Psy quickly replied.
" Aye aye sir." said the first Solider. He then gestured and 6 more soldiers armed and armored took up escorting posiitons around him. Lord Dire strode fearlessly amongst them as if he were in the middle of an Honor Guard.
As they reached the Door Psy knocked once and then as if recieving mental confirmation opened the door for Lord Dires Entrance.
"Out of the way, you little runt before I lose my temper!" Lord Dire snarled imperiously to one of the soldiers who was only to happy to oblige.
Walking through the door as if he were a king entering his throne room. He eyed his rival sitting behind the desk he noticed Fist slip something into one of the drawers, a small envelope it looked like. He made a mental note of it and then got down to the matter at hand.
" Hello old friend." Lord Dire stated imperiously "It seems we have much to discuss/" his voice still carrying that hollow doom laden tone of a deep well. things would get very interesting indeed.
((close enough for govt poirposes 
))
So you mean you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword; and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

[/ QUOTE ] "Well hello there Lord Dire. It has been a long time hasn't it?" He was speaking like they had never fought once and were the best of friends. To his soldiers that sounded like a good sign. To people like Lord Dire, it was a threat. "And yes, we DO have much to discuss. Unbeknowest to you, we found a limitless source of power. The Fountain of Youth."

Valiant dusted his hands off, walking away from the ruined heap of Nemesis behind him.
"Really, who build robots out of Brass? Might as well throw soda cans at me!"
He froze in place, having taken a quick look to his left.
"That doesn't look good..."
A Dark haired girl was flying through the air, fists raised at a prone Billyboy, shouting something villainous.
Valiant was off like a rocket, winding himself up for a powerful kick into the girl.

yet it did not bear on his current situation at least not in any way he could yet forsee. He decided to play along to see where this was going.
Iron Fist was not one to diseminate even when he had known him in moscow. where Fist had been part of a soviet super soldier project that Lord Dire had personally overseen.
" Hrrrmmph." he snorted. "a childs fable. you waste my time Fist." The eyes of his armor glowed a brighter red.
"Wasting my time is a mistake few survive."
his voice held a dangerous edge to it. yet Fist held his ground. he was russian and that carried the trait of a stubborn sort of courage. Lord Dire himself had some russian ancestory.
It was admirable. It was an annoyance. annoyances upset him. When he was upset things and people tended to not survie the experience.
He stood there regally, his arms clasped behind his back. His grey cloak flowed down his shoulders. and listened for more information.

Billyboy lay sprawled on the ground, Vim gloating that she had finally beaten him. Suddenly, the top of a nearby skyscraper lit up, a burst of energy reflecting off the roof as healing energy flowed out of Vim and into Billyboy, rejuvenating him. From the skyscraper came a bolt of inertia, hitting Billyboy in the chest. He kipped up to his feet, superspeed energizing his muscles. Another burst of energy and Vim began to tire as Billyboy felt his own energy recharging.
Billyboy was aiming several lightning fast energy punches at Vim when a figure swooped down from on high, a being seemingly made of blue metal, it's eyes blazing with green energy. Scorching rays of radiation swept from the being, burning through Vim's invulnerability aura, singing her clothing and burning her skin. Her hair crackled, curling and twisting at the ends from the intense heat. She screamed as her nose started to bleed, her hands curling into fists as she leapt at the figure. The being stood in the air, its golden toga billowing. As she brought her hand back to swing, the being held up a hand and a swirling aura enveloped it. Sheer kinetic force sent Vim hurtling backwards across the city. Unable to fly, Vim was last seen streaming over the Green Line, a string of profanities pouring from her mouth.
__________________________________________________ _
The being finally landed, it's feet transforming as it touched the ground. The toga was replaced by a white and gold costume, the once blue starmetal having transformed in Hellcat's new incarnation. Radioactive flames continually leapt from him, surrounding him in an aura of green fire. He stared at Billyboy for a moment and said, "Our work is far from over." The Hellcat took off, a green trail following him as he soared into the air.

[/ QUOTE ] "I think not." Fist scoffed. "I too had thought it only a childs tale. But I now have proof. After our companionship in Russia, I went off to boast my newfound powers to the world. I was hired off as a mercinary, one of the best. Then, one day, an assassin came to kill me. I left my house that day, me without hands, while he was dead. I hadn't known it then but a latent mutant power was forming, which succesfully slowed the wound from spreading. I traveled for miles and miles, until I found a hospital. By then they thought I would be freezing; for a blizzard was brewing. They were wrong. The snow that had blanketed a city with 3 feet of snow hadn't touched me."
Iron Fist molded the air arond his fingers into plasma and made it fly around his hand. "As you can see from my small performence, I can control heat, ignite it around my body, or fling it in a dangerous thermonuclear ray. Anyway, they couldn't figure out my not being frozen to death but they treated my wounds and kept me there until they were sure I was fine. After that, they told me the obvious. 'I wouldn't be able to use hands again.' They were wrong about that also. In a fit of rage my new heat powers erupted, quite literally. The blast completely annihalated the hospital and everyone in it. Except me. I survived by a thread, on the brink of death."
"A passing automobile saw me where I had crawled and picked me up to get sent to another hospital. Incidentally, the doctor from Moscow that gave me tests treated me personally. Obviously, he knew the reason I survived, but he left that out for, 'security reasons.' I survived, but extremely scarred. I had the good doctor join me to help me on my quest. You now know him as Psy. We traveled around the world, looking for a cure. We found no permenant cure but we did find many willing to come with us. Our search led us to America."
"There, a large orginization known as 'Arachnos' built new hands for me, using something that they called 'proto metal.' I became indebted to them and destroyed many of their rivals until they thought I was free from their debt. In those years of serving Arachnos the soldiers jokingly called me 'Fist' because of my new hands. I adopted the name as my own, and after many more years, that was all I was known by."
"By that time, I knew almost all of Arachnos's secrets, and they couldn't live with that. Lord Recluse himself tried to kill me. He almost succeeded. My friends that I had gained took me to Dr. Vazilock, and pleaded with him to help me. He gave me a temporary body, which we eventually interchanged with a robotical one."
"After that, we asked him for advice on how to get my real body back. He told us of something that he too had searched for. The Fountain of Youth."
"I am sure that you can use your imagination now. The Fountain was similar to the Well of Furies and the Fountain of Zeus. I ordered my men to throw me in. They obeyed and my skin and muscles grew over my robotic skeleton."
"As you can see, I am restored to full power; most likely more. I took samples and made a new super-soldier serum. Obviously not as powerful but still potent."
"But my real reason of bringing you here was not to tell you a story, no, it was to ask you to join me. You would not have to obey me, and whatever group you are currently in will remain intact. I am doing this because of one reason only: If we continue to fight then we will chase eachother for the rest of our lives. And I believe our lives will be a very long time."
Iron Fist sat back to let the information sink into his would-be enemy.
Mutai Kid had continued observing the Nemesis troops emerge from the ground where the once majestic statue had stood, when Lord Dire had left with that messenger and Billyboy had gone to check on reinforcements.
From his vantage point, MK could see the Nemesis and the troops of Iron Fist. The latter's troops were advancing down the main North South avenue that ran nearly from Gimry Ridge to Boomtown. The great statue which had fallen a short time before blocked the avenue to the north, requiring the forces of Iron Fist to alter their advancement by spreading to the two avenues which paralleled the main boulevard.
The newly arrived Nemesis Troops rushed to barricade the flanking avenues. Two of the Fake Nemesis launched their missles at an apartment building, bringing the structure down with a great crash of concrete and metal, the remnants of which now mostly blocked the eastern causeway. A platoon of Jaegers then guarded the area, making access to the square from the east near impossible. This left the remaining Nemesis troops to disperse to the south and west with a few snipers taking up positions on the fallen statue and rubble of the apartment complex.
Messy buggers aren't they?! It looks as though we're gonna need more than a little support.
As Mutai Kid was surveying the activity below he sensed someone was watching him, but glancing around he didn't see anyone on the rooftop. He did see the beacon and drone left by Lord Dire.
Hmm, must be my imagin....... Thwack!! A slender leg lashed out and caught Mutai Kid on the shoulder driving him almost to his knees. Out of nowhere appeared a stealthy figure, Panda Doll, assassin for hire.
((Panda Doll is my MA/SR Stalker. She wears a typical schoolgirl outfit from Japanese Anime, but carries her pet miniature panda 'Harry' in a loop on her shoulder. She wears Giesha white makeup to cover her true identity.))
The diminutive assassin lashed out with a series of kicks, driving Mutai Kid toward the edge of the building. She'd been tracking the hero all through the morning events, stalking him but never being able to get close until now, he was finally alone.
"Who are you?? What'ya want with me!" Mutai Kid blocked the next series of blows and jumped back to the safety of an air conditioner in the center of the roof.
The fool has forgotten about Lord Rinchu's bounty on his head, or maybe he never knew?! "Does the name Lord Rinchu ring a bell?"
((This a part of the back story of MK so just bear with me.))
Mutai Kid stiffened at the name, one which he knew too well from his past. Lord Rinchu had been a rival to his own sensai, Master LoChu. The two were bitter enemies, fighting a feud that extending back to the time of the Samurai. But his sensai had died over five years ago, before he had seen Mutai Kid become an accomplished Muay Thai fighter on first the Asian and then the world circuit.
"What does Lord Rinchu want with me?"
"Your head, fool! The first assassin was clumsy, leaving you paralyzed but still alive, I would not have left you breathing!" At that last word, Panda Doll threw a series of shuriken at MK and at the same instant threw down a smoke screen, disappearing from the heroe's sight. This was her specialty, stealth out in the open, walking in the daylight but letting it slip past her, bending light so she was nearly invisible to the naked eye, but she had to distract people first or else the tactic would not work.
First assassin? No, it cannot be, But the more he thought of it, the more Mutai Kid came to grips with the cold reality, that his being a hero was all the result of an ancient feud. That the accident with the automobile was no accident, but a stage for his murder. That if it hadn't been for a good samaritan who pulled him from the car, he would have been dead. That the months in the hospital, and the operation to implant nanites into his body and all the other technology to restore his mobility were all because one man hated another man.
Jumping to avoid the shuriken, Mutai Kid lost sight of Panda Doll. No matter where he looked the girl was not there. He'd have to be on his toes now more than ever, if he was to survive not only Nemesis, but also the assassin sent to kill him.
Jumping from building to building, Mutai Kid headed for Positron and Valkyrie's last known position. Hopefully Billyboy would be there too and the heroes could put up a concerted front. And it should also keep the assassin at bay at least for a time.
Panda Doll watched as Mutai Kid leapt from the building, there would be time enough to kill the hero, she had patience, she would wait until he was alone again and then strike, taking down the last living vestige of the house of LoChu, as her master had ordered.

Feeling slowly began to creep back into Brainframe's unconscious form. He opened his eyes to find that he was no longer outdoors among the skyscrapers of Steel Canyon, but looking at what appeared to be the ceiling of an ordinary warehouse. Which meant that he could be virtually anywhere in the city. He also found that he couldn't move his arms or legs, and it was oddly difficult to form a coherent thought, as if his thought processes were still frozen after his body had thawed.
Frozen. The last thing he remembered before waking up here was the squad of armored Crey goons, and a very blurry memory of another figure dispatching them before he lost consciousness. I could've been out for hours or days, given the retrieval teams plenty of time to move me...nobody besides Positron even knew I'd come back to Paragon--
The realization hit him like a sledgehammer. Positron. He should've known that a call to the Freedom Phalanx through his personal network would raise a few red flags with those corporate vultures. Even in Ziggursky he'd made it a point to foil their attempts at recovering the scientific breakthroughs he'd made with his body and mind. Salvaging his technology was never going to be enough for them.
As if on cue, a figure in modified surgical garb entered his field of view. "Ah, back in the waking world, Simon? Good. My colleagues were beginning to worry that you wouldn't be awake to participate in this little...procedure."
"He's on the table, Doc, now do your thing and we can go."
A glance told Brainframe that the new voice came from one of Crey's "security" personnel standing off to the side, a semiautomatic pistol aimed squarely at the spot where his body lay a few feet off the ground. A handful of other men in blue uniforms and black bulletproof vests were scattered around the concrete and steel structure, looking as anxious as their leader sounded. The doctor turned his attention back to his unwilling subject.
"I do appologize for the...unconventional setting for this, Mr. Freeman. But our superiors value efficiency above all else in your case. It seems you left quite a mess when you departed for the Rogue Isles, and certain interested parties within the company felt that you were an unforgiveable loss. I'm told the Countess briefly entertained notions of inviting you back, past sins forgiven. However, we both know nothing ever comes free, don't we?"
As he spoke, the doctor was joined by other similarly garbed scientists wielding a series of very sharp looking mechanical devices, each taking up positions around the end of the table where his head rested. Brainframe experimentally clenched his hands and tried picturing the targeting reticule from his missing headset encircling each of their faces as the lead doctor brought a gleaming scalpel into view, seeming to relish the effect it had on him. "You're carrying a great deal of valuable Crey property in that cranium of yours, Simon. We'll be taking it back, now. One way, or another."
As the scalpel moved down out of his line of sight, Brainframe forused his thoughts and forced out a single word through tightly clenched teeth.
"Backup."
"ORDERS CONFIRMED. ENTERING AGRESSIVE MODE."
A collective shout went up as an electric popping sound brought a seven-foot tall robot crashing into the room. While the assembled scientists stumbled back in shock, the enforcers quickly brought their weapons up and opened fire on the unwelcome intruder. Brainframe closed his eyes and began focusing all his mental strength on restoring his drug-addled motor skills, while the sounds of a pitched battle raged about him. Finally satisfied, he opened his eyes to see the robot backhanding the head doctor into a wall while blasting away at a Crey tank he hadn't even seen before. Partially sitting up, he spied his gearbelts and headset piled in a corner, likely awaiting inspection after the intended operation. When at last the tank collapsed to the floor, the robot stomped over and removed the straps holding his wrists and legs in place. A satisfied smile crossed his features as Brainframe looked up into the mechanoid's face.
"Good to see you, Haxx."
"And you, sir. You are unharmed?
"For the most part. How's the now body running?"
"Fair. However, it's power cells are severely depleted, and several of my motor functions seem to have stalled."
"Right, we'll need to work on that. Probably not ready for extended use in the field yet." Brainframe moved to retrieve his equipment and gave a cursory glance around him. "You okay to head home?"
"Affirmative. Return vectors initialized, will upload once storage is complete."
"See you there, then." Brainframe shouldered his pulse rifle and strode out of the warehouse as powerful rockets returned the robot to the Rogue Isles. Touching the side of his headset as he exited, his lips set in a line.
"Time for work."

Billyboy stared at Hellcat for a moment before shaking himself and taking off after him, catching up as quickly as he could. Is that the Redoubtable Defender? He can't still be alive, can he? He got freaking nuked!
"Er.... Thanks for the backup back there, man." Billyboy said meekly. "But seriously, is it you?"
-----------------------------------
Vim slammed into the war wall and slid down, all sense lost from the sudden impact. She stood shakily, nearly vomitting from the terror that had just coursed through her. Whoever, or whatever, that thing was, she was going to get it back for hurting her. And she was going to get her bounty, Billyboy would be hers!
But first she needed some iodine.
"Freaking damn heroes always popping outa nowhere and taking a hard working girl for the ride of her life across the skyline." Vim muttered to herself as she leapt off of a ledge and landed with a splash in the water below. She scanned her surroundings and noticed Icon up the ledge to her right, but she'd fix her costume later, she needed to get her revenge now. With a curse, she swam the width of the lake and began sprinting back to Blyde Square with hatred in her eyes. Nemesis troops ignored her, already knowing that she had been hired by Lord Nemesis as an assassin.
Vim looked up just in time to see a figure leaping from building to building, a young man looking a bit preoccupied. It wasn't Billyboy, though, so he didn't matter. She stomped on, on thing on her mind, then suddenly ran into something very solid.
"Watch it!" Vim screamed at Panda Doll, who had been watching Mutai Kid too closely to notice her stomping down the street with all the backround noise. "Who the hell are you!?"
"Lord Dire does not obey. Lord Dire Commands!" He proclaimed imperiously emphasizing the word. "and again you waste my time with trivial details I am allready well aware of."
His armors eyes flared red again. "The details of your past are insignifigant to me. your power is impressive but compared to mine a candle trying to shout to the fire."
he paused letting that sink in then continued.
"I well consider your offer; for now, events elsewhere require my attention."
Delphi had been feeding him telemetry on the battle he had been aprised of the assasination attempts on Mutai Kid and Billyboy. as well as the stalemate in which Fists own troops found themselves.
"And do not think I have forgotten your interference in London either." he said leaving no dount as to his meaning.
Iron Fist had been part of an Arachnos strike team that had stolen a powerful satelite array from him. while he had been engaged with a group of heroes. the loss of which ahd set back his plans for months.
"We well eliminate this Nemesis threat first, then we well see about wether I well join this endeavor of yours."
Turning on his heel he left the office and returned to Steel where the battles raged. In truth he had no reason to return but the thrill of battle was upon him and he had not felt it in some time. Since the day that he had faced downt he Freedom Phalanxe it self.
So you mean you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword; and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

What is it with these questions today!? Who are you? What'dya want? I'm not a freaking encyclopedia for every lame brain that runs down the street! Panda Doll was a little more than miffed that she'd run into the girl, but a bit on the curious side too as it had been like hitting a brick wall.
"Me! Why I'm the last person you wanted to run into Hon! Step outta my way before I have to take you out too!"
"What'd Lord Nemesis do, hire you to kill that hero that jumped by? He could'a asked me and I'd have given him a discount!" Vim said this with a bit of glee, knowing that this school girl in front of her was no match for her strength.
"Nemesis! Bah, a newcomer! My Lord's family has been striking terror in the world far longer. Lord Rinchu will not be pleased you interrupted this assassination!"
The two would be assassins eyed one another with disdain. "Tell you what babe, I'll let you go on your way if you tell me where Billyboy is, he's my target." Vim spat these words at Panda Doll, not willing to give ground.
Panda Doll thought for a moment, Hmm, Billyboy, that's the young fellow who was with Mutai Kid earlier.... perhaps this is an opportunity to get close enough for a death kick on Mutai. Yes indeed, by myself I'd have to wait to get him alone, but if I can send this girl in as a distraction... yes... yes... and once she serves her purpose she can pay for the insult to Lord Rinchu.
"I tell you what dearie, why don't we tag along together, I'm sure my boy's gonna meet up with yours, then we'll just have to have a party with them! You can have your boy and I'll have mine, fair enough?"

Vim smirked and slammed her fist into her open palm. "I like your style!" she laughed. "Sounds like a plan, two for the price of two! Just don't get in my way, I tend to throw stuff!"
"Exactly what I was thinking, we shouldn't have any problem if we can work together on this." Panda Doll smiled, happy that this girl was so easy to manipulate.
"I can't wait to pound that [censored]'s ugly face in!" Vim said with a snarl. "What are we waiting for, we won't get anythign done just standing around! Follow 'im!"
Vim and Panda Doll hurried off in the same direction as Mutai Kid. Panda Doll disappeared from Vim's view, bending light around her so that no one could spot her and anyone looking in their direction would only see one person.
The pair spotted Mutai Kid jumping between building tops and proceeded to follow him at a discreet distance.
---------
Mutai Kid sensed that he was being followed, but he didn't have time to fool with Panda Doll, the Nemesis fight was far more pressing and important, not just to him, but to all residents of Paragon City.
Mutai Kid caught sight of Billyboy following a form he couldn't quite recognize, it's movement seemed familiar, but he couldn't place his finger on just who.
"Hey Billyboy! Who's that?" Mutai Kid appeared next to Billyboy, speeding his jumps up to keep pace with the two fast moving heroes.
"Uhmmmm, I think it's the Redoubtable Defender!" Billyboy looked over at Mutai Kid as they continued to follow the figure. "And before you say it, yes I know!, I know! We saw him die! But there he is, maybe changed, but I tell you it's got to be him!"
The pair followed the fast moving figure who seemed to know where he was going.
Following a hundred yards back was the pair of assassins, biding their time.

Iron Fist sighed. "He's still a stubborn old fool." True, he was stronger than me once. But now, I am much stronger. The story of my dance with death, my powers, my robotic skeleton, The Fountain of Youth. All my story was to tell him that now we could have a battle to the death and we would both die, just from exaustion.
"Psy." He muttered. Immediately, a muscular man appeared in front of him. "My liege? How may my services be avaliable?" I need you to gather some troops. I need to persuade Lord Dire to join us. He needs to understand that he will not be commanded. He will simply be with us to to help our cause. He can do whatever else he wants as long as it doesn't interfere with the plan. If he wants to help the imbusles out there and fight Nemesis then fine. We will help."
"We are helping the heroes?!" Psy gasped. He hadn't ment to say that. "Are you questioning my authority?" He asked. "N-no of coure n-not! I-I w-w-would never do that!"
"Good. call in Skull."
((OOC- Silver Skull is second in command at Fist of Iron. I might be overdoing it, but I'm waiting until they make double knives as a poweset for Stalkers to make him. Basically, he is a Stalker with 2 knives and ninjitsu. Overdoing it again, but he also has gravity control and Psychic Asault from the Dominator set. I know, it's teh gank mastah. 
))
In a flash of light a slightly small person appeared. He had a dark purple skintight costume with silver armour. His face was covered by a silver skull, which is where he got his name from. "Good day my liege. Is there something I can help you with?" Silver Skull was a British man. He enjoyed tea and crumpets right after a fresh kill. He was the only person aside from Lord Dire that might be able to even slightly tickle Iron Fist's skin. This chilled Fist down to his metal bones; he was quite glad that Skull wished to obey and not command.
"I need you to sabatouge Lord Nemesis's troops. Go down to their base and destroy the command center. Find what he has planned down there and get out." Silver Skull might have been one of the best but he had a disturbing habit to have tea with his victims before he killed them.
"This is a hit and run operation. Do I make myself clear?" "Clear as a bell governor! Right on and all that." Iron Fist couldn't help but smile at that. The Brit was a bit mad. "Do you have your knives ready? Do they need to be teleported here?" Silver Skull got serious at those words. "Right here my liege. You should know after all these years that they are always with me." "Right, well I presume you know where the base is? "Not a clue. But I'll find it one way or another. Cheerio!" Without waiting for Iron Fist to tell him directions he faded from sight and was gone.
Not again! Iron Fist thought. He did this when we were raiding Longbow's base, and look where that got us! Fist calmed himself. I must calm down. He might be a tad crazy but he is the best at his job. I cannot let anger take hold of me like it does Lor Dire. "Psy, gather the troops into the main square. We're going to help the heroes, just this once." He stood up and left the office to orginize the assault.
Valiant floated Idly after Billyboy and Mutai Kid, waiting for the two giving chase to catch up. The last time he had attacked one she was taken out before he could even connect a hit.
"Looks like they're ok now... guess I should stick around anyway..."
((OOC: Valiant is an MA/Invuln with the leadership, flight, and fitness pools, I can't get on the forums for too much time due to a weird schedule, so feel free to use him as you willÂ… Will have more time after my finals finish up.
))

Vim and Panda Doll thought they were discreetly following Mutai Kid and Billyboy, but Valiant had an eye on the pair. Panda Doll had come out of stealth mode after seeing no danger of attack, stealth also required her to move slower, and Vim's pace was rapid, thus it was necessary. If she'd known she was being watched from above she would have taken the time to go back to stealth, but that is often the assassin's worst fault, not recognizing they've been identified.
Valiant knew who the taller girl was, he'd nearly gotten his hands on her earlier, but the Redoubtable Defender had sent her sailing across town toward the northern War Wall. But who was this pale looking girl? He knew she had to be up to no good too, and it made sense to Valiant that perhaps Mutai Kid was her target seeing as these girls were following the pair of heroes.
"So this Lord Rinchu, he pay well?" Vim attempted to engage Panda Doll in some conversation to pass the time as they stalked their prey.
"Lord Rinchu has placed a bounty of 100,000 on Mutai Kid's head!" Panda Doll remarked, not telling the whole truth, the actual bounty was far higher, but she didn't want Vim to get any ideas.
"Ha! Nemesis is far more charitable, Billyboy there is worth 200,000 to me! But don't go getting any ideas about collecting that bounty, he's all mine!" Vim spoke the last words with venom.
"Ahh money to you westerners, it's not the only thing in life your know, restoring Honor, that is far more important! Mutai Kid represents the last representative of a dishonorable clan! His death will restore Lord Rinchu's honor, and bring glory to his clan again!" Panda Doll had no use for the western ideals, their money perhaps, but not their ideals.

*Lord Dire had also sensed the enormous build up in Steam power beneath the city. His armors sensor systems and his own series of sencor beacons arrayed through out the city had alerted him to it. yet he was having troublepinpointing the source.*
" So what are you up to Now old man? He queried to himself. "Delphi intiate scan sequence delta and extrapolate on source of energy."
"Scanning Lord Dire Extrapolation and scan well take 5 minutes."
Lord Dire was anything but patient right now so he fumed as Delphi worked scanning deep underground and then calculating thousands of variables in mere seconds time.
" What ever your thinking old fool. I assure you it well fail."
He made further preparations to continue the battle.
So you mean you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword; and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?
