One of a kind, yes? by d_knight7


Wade was sitting down enjoying a game of nude table tennis on pay per view when suddenly the air was filled with a strange noise. He turned and looked down behind the couch, and when he turned back a large blue box stood in the living room.

“Holy FedEx!” yelped Wade, falling backwards off of the couch. “GUYS! DID ANYONE ORDER A PORTA-POTTY?”

Jean-Paul stormed in. “What is it now imbecile? You interrupted my aerobics…” his voice trailed off as he saw the object.

Wade began to pace around it. “See? Someone dumped their toilet in our rec-room!”

“Non, I ‘ave seen something like this before, during a cultural exchange to London, it’s an old telephone box,” explained Jean-Paul, cautiously touching the object. He leaped back as a blur when the door opened on it.

A plain looking middle aged man in question mark decorated sweater stepped out, carrying a question mark-headed umbrella. “Good evening, I’m the Doctor.”

-------------------------------------------

The team sat around the conference table, trying to take in what the strange man had told them.

“So this Deadhead…” began Walter.

“Death’s Head,” corrected the Doctor.

“Yes, this Death’s Head, he’s some kind of multiple personality?” he said, scratching his head.

The Doctor sighed, “no no. It really is rather difficult to explain these things to beings only aware of the three dimensions. I’ll try again.
Death’s Head was a cyborg created by a bored billionaire to be a play thing, sadly when they turned him on he killed his employer, looted the place and left. They had given him self awareness, and he decided what he wanted to be was a violent bounty hunter, or ‘freelance peacekeeper’ as he prefers. He’s been to various dimensions, even been flung through time a few times, which is how I encountered him on occasion.”

“Right, because you’re some sort of time traveling alien who flies about the ages doing good deeds,” interrupted Walter, rolling his eyes.

“For a man who can turn in to…whatever it is you turn in to you have a rather closed mind. Your grandfather, now he was a visionary,” Said the Doctor.

“My grandfather was a loon, he was always ranting about aliens and how he met Genghis Khan…” Walter trailed off.

The Doctor chuckled, “such an imagination Robert had, why they didn’t even allow him in the same tent. He did fight a mongul warrior to the death, but that’s hardly the same thing.”

Walter just stared at him dumbfounded, so Puck nudged the conversation, “you were telling us about Death’s Head.”

“Oh yes, very mean being, one of the universe’s great survivors, but like all things he met his match. An organization in the far future, as you’d rate it, created the ultimate cyborg, they named it Minion. They programmed it with the desire to download the memories and skills of the greatest warriors and thinkers of the ages and multiverse and set it off. It worked its way through dozens of kills and downloads before it got to Death’s Head. He fought hard as always but Minion was just too much for him, maybe for anyone, and in the end it killed him and assimilated his consciousness. The problem was Death’s Head was even too stubborn to even die correctly.
The force of his personality was such that when downloaded it overcame the core programming and merged with Minion’s CPU. What was left calls itself Death’s Head, but it’s really a collective entity with the Death’s Head persona in the driving seat.”
That should have been that, but as I was traveling nearby, temporally and spatially I mean, I was hit by a ripple. I landed to assess the damage and found Death’s Head, both of them. Technically that’s impossible, but I’m no stranger to rule bending in that regards so it’s not without precedent.”

“So how does that affect us eh?” questioned Puck. “They’ll have a round two and sort things out again right?”

“Well apart from the absolutely dire potential for the entire universe to unravel with the paradox of the event, and I really don’t mean to understate that by the way, you have two large and angry mechanoids armed with futuristic weaponry about to fight to the death in the middle of a major city,” explained the Doctor. He looked around but just saw the door swinging in the wind, they had already left. “No manners, that’s why I prefer the English. I wonder if they have any tea?”

----------------------------------

“Time to die now, yes?” said Death’s Head, unscrewing his hand and attaching his shot blaster.

“Yes it is, time for you and your annoying speech impediment to die that is. I’m the new model, and I’ve already killed you,” growled Minion.

“You’re damaged in the head maybe, yes? Don’t worry, after I removed it you’ll feel better.” said Death’s Head, taking up a combat stance.

“You’re wasting your time, you’re obsolete. I am everything you are, plus more, in a better body. I killed you last time and this time I’m making it stick,” stated Minion plainly.

“I’ve never been one to worry about odds,” said Death’s Head.

“Hi, my names Sprat,” said the young man with a grin.

“I’m called Tuck,” said the girl, returning the grin.

The two cyborgs stopped arguing and glared at their sidekicks.

“Why do we have to hate each other?” said the sidekicks in unison.

“Nobody is fighting today!” said a strong voice.

The four beings turned to see Alpha Flight standing down the street.

“Let me handles this,” said Wade, stepping forward. “Bar weep grarna weep neenybong!”

Everyone looked at him, he shrugged. “I saw it in a cartoon once, worth a try.”

Puck stepped up, “we’re all reasonable here right? You two…guys don’t want to fight, right? I mean you’re both bounty hunters, where’s the profit?”

“I prefer ‘freelance peacekeeper’, yes?” said the cyborgs in unison.

Minion cursed, “I must need an overhaul. Ok tin man what do you say? Team-up till we take care of business?”

Death’s Head nodded, “then I take care of you, yes?”

Some very large weapons pointed at Alpha Flight.

Wade looked down at Puck, who shrugged. “And we were doing great with bar weep grarna weep neeny bong till you opened your mouth,” said the Merc with a sigh.

Good luck DK.

Cool story...bringing in the Doctor and making a reference to Transformers the Movie...ah yes...very nice indeed.

Yay, someone noticed

The Doctor and Death's Head met three times during the days of Marvel UK. Death's Head actually started out as a Transformer's UK character and got bounced in to the quasi-Marvel U of Marvel UK, where the Doctor used the Master's tissue compressor to shrink him to human-size.

Oh really? I didn't know The Doctor and Death's head met. I also didn't know DH was part of the Transformers UK...or was introduced there...and here I thought you were just a big Doctor Who and Transformer fan. There was actually some precedence to it. Cool...

and then since it's assosiated with the UK i'll assume a man dressed as a woman showed up and everyone had a goof laurf

Death's head moves to P3.

Sprat moves to P15.

Minion moves to O10, picking up the HO from V14 along the way.

[playful voice, ment in a friendly way]
It's funny you should bring this 'house rule' up. Seeing as I had to type up the rules I usually am quite framiliar with them. I tried looking for it in Rules 3.1 but I can't seem to find it.
[/end playful voice]

Now if you would like to suggest it for the next rules up date that would be cool, in fact I've played offical games where in the first turn objects are ignored for movement purposes.


=============================================

1) Sunfire will pick up Shaman and fly to K-1 droping Shaman in L-1.

free) Deadpool will perplex up Aurora's move to 13.

2) Aurora will pick up Kyle and fly to O-1 dropping Kyle in P-2(basing Fantomex).

3) Northstar will pick up Deadpool and fly to N-1 dropping Deadpool in O-2(in hindering basing, also basing Fantomex)
