Heroes Uprising Part 11

Amber: I have no problem talking to Keeth. He's at least easier to manage than his brother Keel. But if he's acting out, it's best to confirm if he's still in control of Zarathos.
Aaron: That's that then. Fawkes...good luck with the mission
Fawkes: Thanks

----

James: You know him?

"James reads her memories"

James: His name is Terrel...he took down several Hunter ships with a tidal wave. He may be like Katy, but I somehow doubt that.
Holst: Do we send someone after him? I can try to paint something else
James: No, I'll get Rachel, it's faster

"Alex gets up, walking over to Fawkes, pulling out a wristband of some sorts."

Kano: What's?
Alex: Teleporter, it's modeled after Deadpool's, but I can only teleport us to a certain location, certinaly it's set to the X-Force Base, it's standard equipment for all the X-Force Members. Let's go, and good luck Amber.

"Alex uses the band, teleporting himself, and Fawkes back to the X-Force base."

Kano: Interesting, Aaron are you going to fly, or do you want me to open up a portal?
..............
Blackheart: "Grins" I got my ass kicked, SXM. I underestimated them, but now I've got my full power back, spent some time in the darkforce realm.

"He gives her a quick hug."

Blackheart: Well, yeah I wanted to join the Innercircle. Plus I've done some research, I've got some people we can recruit to the inner circle
.....................
Riya: wait James..let me talk to him, he looks like he's on a boat, I can fuse with the ocean, see everything in it, if he's in the water, I'll track him..I haven't had a mission in a long time..I'm not useless..I'll take Manny, and the shadow teleporter.
...............

"Keeth is seen sending out blasts of hellfire taking down some terrorists, while some children ,and teachers are seen escaping a school area."

Terrorist: PLEASE NO! MERCY
Keeth: Mercy....

"Keeth pauses, allowing the terrorist to reach out to pull out his gun, he fires at Keeth, but the bullets break, and Keeth unleashes a blast of hellfire, leaving the man a burning him to a crisp, and he looks around the room, two bleeding terrorists try to escape, Keeth raised his hand, his mystical chain appearing, he hurls it aroudn their necks, and pulls ripping their heads off, blood squirting around the room."

Keeth: Fun...

Tesla: Thanks, but I think it'd be better I go alone. Well, hey, lets enjoy our dinner, what do you say.

.............................

Metallic: I'll talk to him, but I doubt he'll tell me. As for lunch, sure, lets go. You coming to Manda?
Manda: Yes. The others are still elsewhere on the island.

James: Take the entire team...and have Manny standby on his ship. You fuse, track him, and then when you reach his location, try and negotiate...those are the orders.

"Riya turns to leave"

James: One more think...Manny's in charge

"James says this as if implying that Riya's judgment is compromised"

---

"Iliria's eyes widen"

Iliria: Really now...I've done a good job at recruiting fighters, but I have no idea how the influential these days like their conspiracies

---

"Harry has landed in Japan, and his heading towards the local English embassy

Chulance: I don't think she should go alone.... Sure.

"He cuts into his steak, and begins to eat it, smiling, as he asks the waiter for steak sauce."

Chulance: Tesla want to taste my Steak?
...................
Nate: Let's go.

"Nate lead them to the kitchen area were some of the mutants from the school were eating, he took a seat, and one of the waitresses brought some food."

Nate: Thanks
Waitress: No Problem! I'd do this free, getting to work for hot superheroes..

"She winked at Metallic, and Nate, before departing into the kitchen area."
...............
Blackheart: I don't doubt you, but these guys will be very useful in the long run. I've managed to pinpoint their location's, I can recruit them, or we both can. And hey, I've been around in the modern century a bit longer. Aside from my trip to hell..
.............
Riya: Fine..Fine..

"Moments later she's seen out by the shore with Manny's pirates, she walks over to the water, and fuses with it, moments later she becomes physical."

Riya: I located them..come on James wants you to take the ship, I'll turn us all into water, and we can reappear near Terrel, I can do the same thing to the ship. Water-Porting is fast, and we need to get to him as quickly as possible.

Manny: aaawww....but it's funner to move the old fashion way
Henry: I know friend, but we have commands from le boss. We should just hear those words

"Manny sighs and gives the go signal to Riya"

---

Iliria: Alright, I'm game.

----

"Harry has arrived at the embassy. He walks through, and soon meets the local head of the MI6"

Harry: Hello
Boss: Well hello! Good to meet you son. I'm Mister Oswald. It's a pleasure to meet you
Harry: The pleasure's all mine
Boss: I suppose you have all your intel already?
Harry: Yeah, I've got it. I can handle this
Boss: As you know the Black Reaper is digging into the Syndicate as well for some reason, so you'll end up attacking this from two angles. Capture him, and discover more on the Syndicate
Harry: Yes sir
Boss: On the way out, you'll meet your "sidekick" for this mission. She's a regular, so watch for her
Harry: "She"...and "regular"? Oh for fucks sake I got to babysit for a woman while doing this...curse you Filipe, when I find you so help me God...

"Riya converts them all into water, including the ship, and reform near TErrel, making them and the ship solid, Riya appears on the ship ,near Terrel wrapping her hands around his waist."

Riya: Hey Terrel, Im baaack! "Smiles" How are you doing?
.............
Blackheart: Let's move.

"He teleports them both to Jorgan's location, who's sitting down on his sofa, drinking some wine, looking at the news"

Jorgan: Hmm..who might you be?
Blackheart: Illiria your in charge, you get to talk.
Jorgan: Might I ask what you are talking about..and why your in my house

Tesla: Sure.

*Chulance cuts off a piece of steak, feeding it to her.*

Tesla: Hmm, that's good. *smiles*

*She starts eating her own dinner.

(Maybe Chu can just follow her when she leaves, kinda just watching over her, and staying in the shadows. After the fighting gets on it's way, I'll set up something to get her into trouble, then Chulance can jump in. )

...................................

Metallic: Man, you guys has it made here. Hot women feeding us meals for free.

*Terrell had stopped the boat so he could get a better look at a speck off in the distance.*

Terrell: Hmm... I think that's the place. If not, I'm taking my ass back home. I figure I've waited long enough to see this chick. If my memory is good, she was kinda hot for one of those super heroes.

*The ship started up, heading toward the speck. Terrell grinned before beginning to clean up the red mess on the boat. He had grabbed a mop and began getting rid of most of it, until he was suddenly grabbed. Terrel's arms immediately became as hard a wood, but then he heard a familiar voice. He looked at Riya, a little stunned by her sudden appearance. He reverted his arm back to normal and returned the hug*

Terrell: Long time no see! I was just on my way. How you been?

*Terrell's eyes soon caught sight of a pirate ship that was alongside the yacht. I wonder who else she brought over here. Terrell kept his smile up, but he was still a little suspicious.*

Iliria: Wait...I know you. You'r Jrrgan Osborn...nice pick BH. Anyway, do you know of the Hellfire Club?

----

"Harry walks outside, and meets a woman, probably around early 20s, with glasses and wearing a suit. Harry speaks Japanese to her"

Harry: Hmm..are you the agent that's suppose to help me?
Woman: Yes. My name is Hayato Aya. I'm with the kōanchōsa-chō (lit: Public Security Intelligence Agency, the Japanese CIA)
Harry: July 21st. Or just July.
Woman: Pleasure to meet you

"She does the usual Japanese greeting

Harry: She's too uptight...damn it

Blackheart: Thank you,
Jorgan: I've done my research, but It appears..there's some things I don't know about this club, despite me being an associate.
...........
Riya: I'm doing pretty good myself..but..Terrel...er..I've heard you've been doing some bad..stuff..like....er..really..bad, instead..of doing..that why not hang out with me. I'd better be careful, he's pretty much capable of turning my own ability against me.
..............

Keeth is seen sending out blasts of hellfire taking down some terrorists, while some children ,and teachers are seen escaping a school area."

Terrorist: PLEASE NO! MERCY
Keeth: Mercy....

"Keeth pauses, allowing the terrorist to reach out to pull out his gun, he fires at Keeth, but the bullets break, and Keeth unleashes a blast of hellfire, leaving the man a burning him to a crisp, and he looks around the room, two bleeding terrorists try to escape, Keeth raised his hand, his mystical chain appearing, he hurls it aroudn their necks, and pulls ripping their heads off, blood squirting around the room."

Keeth: Fun...
.............
Nate: yea, being a hero is amazing

"Nate digs into his fried chicken, and the rest of his food, while Chulance begins to eat at the restaraunt."

Chulance: Yeah it is, so aside your family, how's everyone treating you back on Genosha?

"As Keeth utters that, he hears a voice behind him"

...: Is that Keeth...or Zarathos?

"He turns around and finds Amber, with a mystical bolt ready"

Amber: Depending on your answer, I may have to kick your ass...

----

Iliria: Indeed you don't. So, are you willing to join?

---

Manny: Lets hope she's got this...

---

"Harry and Aya are in a car"

Harry: So um...what are your leads on this anyway?
Aya: Well, there's a party behind held by the local major Chinese Triad's. They say the Syndicate had birth in China, so we may have a look. Our disguises are in the back. We'll change, and meet there in half and hour.

"She tops at a hotel"

Aya: This is where' you're staying...correct Julu-san
Harry: Um...I know honorifics are important and all...but I don't really like the impersonality. We're on a life and death mission here, lets be more friendly. So can we drop the honors? Miss Aya

"She blushes"

Aya: Hmm...if you say so July
Harry: "smile" Good

"Ayay drives off as Harry is left with his travel case"

Harry: Wait why was she blushing...

Tesla: I was a bit afraid to open up at first, but I have to say they seem to be a fine group of people, well most of em. Keel doesn't appear to be the nicest guy, though I haven't really spent any extended interaction with him. Now we got that Jin guy and some others.

..................................

Metallic: This is much better then living on the streets, surviving on take out from a guy who can't hold a damn job longer then a week.

................................

*Katy now joins Nate and Metallic with Troy.*

Metallic: Hey.
Katy: Oh, hi Metallic.
Troy: I gotta ask, what's your actual name? We're all friends now.
Metallic: *chuckle* That my friend, Tesla doesn't even know. And I've known her much longer then you guys.

*Terrell raised an eyebrow as he heard Riya's words. He was beginning to remember this saying he once heard... or maybe it was a part of a song.*

Money over bitches...

*Terrell looked down on the blood stained boat and then to Riya. He tossed the mop aside*

Terrell: Okay, but I wanna know what's in it for me. I didn't kill these guys for the fun of it. I was looking to make some cash... A lot of cash.

*Terrell back up and crossed his arms as he stared at Riya intently*

Riya: We can give you cash, I can I mean..but you need to stop hurting people, it's not..cool..besides..what's better..me..or some green bags."

"She rubbed up against Terrel, giving him a sly smile."
............
Chulance: Keel's an asshole, and Jin too, but you should get to know us, were pretty good people, Manny..is good people's. So do you like the food?
.............
Nate: Hey you must mean Mikey?. Also Milo can see people's history, perhaps he can see yours, and help you learn about your origins?
...............
Keeth: I'm Keeth, I'm just doing my job Amber.
.................
Jorgan: This group..seems interesting...to say the list, I'd join, but I'd like some more information.

Iliria: Look, we do things the peaceful way...we use out great influence to take over the world using the Inner Circle. But that doesn't mean that our members can't be powerful. I mean, me and BH here should perfectly illustrate this. You have both influence and power, you're perfect for a spot. I don't have any concrete plans for now That is of any concern to you two that is,

(no, BH can not pick that up...I hope not anyway)

----

"Amber powered down, and walked over to him"

Amber: You're being excessive...and you just uttered the word "fun"...is this what you think is fun? Killing people? Look, I know you have your job, but I have mine, and you can't be this excessive or I have to stop giving you free reign Keeth...you're a demon under my jurisdiction don't forget that. Come on, now power down and lets go get a drink
Keeth: What?
Amber: I'm seriously tired...sick of this job sometimes

"Amber waves her hands and her normal Sorcerer's robes are replaced with normal street clothing"

Jorgan: Then I'm in, and Oscorp can send more funding if you like, whatever is neccessary, I do suggest the members of this Inner Circle meet at least once every week.
Blackheart: Nice suggestion moving right along. I'll need to learn more about her secrete agenda.

"He focused teleporting them to Ted's location."
................
Keeth: I suppose, killing isn't fun, but punishing those who commit evil is, letting them receive their just desserts, to kill the killers..it's an odd yet adrenaline packed sensation. Anyway I'd like a drink, I can take off for now.

"Keeth focused, and the ghost riders flames surrounded him dissipated, as he returned to his normal human form walking over to Amber."

Keeth: So let's go, I need to cool down.

"Amber sighs and teleports them both a bar near her old house"

Amber: This place works. I used to come here often to get a drink...back when I still lived with Dale. Come on

---

Iliria: Good day mister Ted

---


"Meanwhile, we see Harry is waiting at the door of the hotel for Aya. Her car pulls up. As she gets out of the driver's seat, she's wearing a chinese cress"

Harry: Aaaah...the dress looks...good on you
Aya: It's formal...I have to
Harry: Not saying anything. I suppose I should drive Although I've rarely done this before

"Harry gets in the drivers seat and drives to the place"

Keeth: Sure thing Amber.

"He follows her into the bar, and takes a seat at the counter, where a bartender approaches them."

Bartender: Hey Amber, long time no see..what do you want, and who's the guy?

Amber: He's just a friend...get me something soft...I don't feel like killing myself just yet. Anyway, Keeth, are you sure you're in control of the situation...taking pleasure in pain is never a good thing you know.

---

"Harry and Aya enter the party, filled to the brim with Mafiosos and gangsters. Harry looks around, and lights a cigarette for coolness factor, but almost ends up chocking himself. He keeps his cool though and doesn't break face"

Aya: Do you smoke?
Harry: No, but I figured that it helps. Makes me look older. Also, we should start talking in Chinese
Aya: I head you just recently joined...how do you know that many languages
Harry: Well..lets just say I owe someone a favor James...I'm looking at you.

*Ted was at his home enjoying a peaceful break when BH and the others arrived.*

Ted: Oh, visitors now.

.........................................

Tesla: Th food is great, thank you. This is turning out to be a lovely evening.

........................................

Metallic: *another chuckle* Nate, I know who I am.
Troy: So you simply won't tell us?
Metallic: I don't tell anyone, not my closest friends, allies, or people I worked for.
Katy: What if you loved someone.
Metallic: Hmm... maybe.
Troy: Maybe? You wouldn't tell your lover your real name?
Metallic: Mr. Rocket was not the only guy I worked for. I had been a man for hire for many years, some, I had the displeasure of betraying when I found out what they truly wanted.
Katy: Rocket wanted to imprison all mutants.
Metallic: True, but if his plan had succeeded, we all would have lived a peaceful life inside the program, while things would have returned to normal for humans. Point is, if my name ever got around, I could be putting my family in danger. So I stay away, keeping who I am a secret.

Iliria: Good day Ted, my name is Iliria...I'd like to invite you to join the Inner Circle of the Hellfire club

(play it out like you know about the club only=

Blackheart: Yes, were good visitors tho, we only want a friendly chat, have a drink.

"He made a drink appear in Ted's hand."
............
Chulance: Ah Thanks, Damn..I'm going to have no money after this. So Tesla..did you hear Iron Man came out recently, it's a new movie about Aaron Stark.
.............
Nate :Heh, your family can move here, hell with Milo, and people like him around, we've had world peace..for the past months.
.............
Bartender: Well take care of Amber
Keeth: I will. I want something strong myself.

"The Bartender grabs the drinks, and hands them to them, moving on to other customers."

Keeth: So how's Spidey doing anyway? And I'm sure I'll be fine, If not I'll just..go away.

Ted: The hellfire club. Yes, I know of them. *sips drink* This inner circle however has grasp my interest, please, do continue.

................................

Tesla: *nod* They say it's good.

(Lets wrap this up fairly soon, we can continue the bonding after I reveals the past of Tesla's family.)

...............................

Metallic: I'll make you guys a deal. Make sure my family is safe, and I'll tell you my name.

Amber: Don't be some melo Keeth, it doesn't suit you. If you go rogue I'll just have to beat your ass "chuckle"...well, I think I'd need help, but don't worry too much. Still, I think you'd rather avoid a beating

"Amber gulps down her drink, and asks for another"

Amber: As for my brother...he's around. He's still fighting the good fight you know...the one a person like me can't anymore. It actually...annoys me a bit that he can do that. I think he's gonna join the Avengers...he told me the other day we met

---

Iliria: We have the goal of controlling the world through influence. But, given that we have pretty strong heroes around, we need strong members...and you're strong.

---

"Harry and Aya are socializing with one of Aya's contacts, using code words and such to exchange info. Out of the corner of his eyes, he spots a couple of security agents talking in a rushed tone, and head out. Harry takes interest. He moves to follow them. He signals Aya to stay in her spot"

"After he passes through a door to the rooms outside of the main party, he follows the guards up to a lift. However, the lift has more guards"

Harry: Well damn Harry...fight or flight

(Have Dave suddenly loose control and teleport right between the two guards)
