New Warriors: Debut Annual #1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A New War calls for New Warriors! by Melkhor and DKnight_7


’This is so not how I had pictured it...’ Vance Astrovik thought to himself, his head still spinning from the mind-blowing mental broadcast that he — and everyone else on Earth, he assumed – had received. Below him, New York had erupted into total chaos in less than 12 hours, and Vance couldn't help shaking the thought that most of it wasn't caused by the newly arrived *inmates*. Through the telekinetic grasp that kept both himself and his companion airborne, he could feel the dark-clad youth shiver with barely suppressed rage and fury.

"How dare they!" Dwayne whispered through clenched teeth under his mask. "Who gave them the right to condemn all of us like this! To lock us all up with those animals, to force US to clean up THEIR mistakes! That's NOT justice!" Night Thrasher was seething with rage, and only Vance's concentration kept him from leaping from his grasp and diving headfirst into the chaos below. “They're behind all this, they're responsible for every single act of suffering and pain this has and will cause – and we have to punish them for it!"

“They” were still unknown at this point. The only object Dwayne had for his anger was the “Galactic Council,” which everyone on the planet had only just learned about – in a painful and penetrating manner. Every human had ‘heard’ the anonymous mental projection:
* TERRANS, WE HEREBY SERVE NOTICE OF CONTAINMENT UPON YOUR RACE AND PLANET. BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF OUR MEMBER EMPIRES, THE GALACTIC COUNCIL HAS DECLARED THE HUMAN RACE TOO DANGEROUS TO BE ALLOWED TO POLLUTE THE UNIVERSE.

AS A CONSEQUENCE, YOUR PLANET HAS BEEN SEALED BY AN IMPENETRABLE FORCE DOME, LIMITING YOUR DESTRUCTIVE RACE TO THE ENVIRONS OF YOUR HOME WORLD ONLY. NO INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL SHALL HEREBY BE ALLOWED TO OR FROM YOUR WORLD, EXCEPT FOR LEGITIMATE COUNCIL BUSINESS.

TO FINANCE THE COST OF YOUR PROTECTIVE FORCE DOME YOU HAVE BEEN CONTRACTED OUT AS A PRISON FACILITY. WITHIN A TERRAN HOUR THE FIRST SHIPMENT OF INMATES SHALL BEGIN ARRIVING. WE SUGGEST YOU TAKE IMMEDIATE STEPS TO POLICE AND HOUSE THESE INMATES, AS YOU ARE CLASSIFIED AS A MAXIMUM SECURITY PLANET.

AS PER STANDARD PROCEDURE, YOUR CASE WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR REVIEW IN APPROXIMATELY ONE THOUSAND TERRAN YEARS, ALTHOUGH PROCESSING RATES CAN VARY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE, AND HAVE A NICE DAY.*

Vance threw a worried glance at 'Thrasher, hoping he could keep his ferocious temper in check at least for a few minutes longer. "I hear you, but you've got to be reasonable about this Dwayne, I mean, we don't even know who's really behind all this yet, and even if we did, how would we get to them. We're completely cut off here. The Avengers will hopefully be able to take care of the big picture, and while they do that, we'll make sure no-one gets hurt here!"

Night Thrasher's response was drowned out by the roar of the wind as a third man joined their patrol. Richard Rider, the Human Rocket also known as Nova, cut through the skies at break-neck speed, pulling up alongside Vance. "It doesn't look good guys," he yelled, a note of fright and uncertainty evident in his voice. "All of New York is going down the drain, double-time, and with those things down there running wild, I can't say I blame them.” He paused before continuing, “So... what do we do?"

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Night Thrasher fought back the burning rage within his soul, focusing his analytical mind on the situation. "We need something big, something noticeable; something that'll show all of New York that we're here, and that we're fighting back; something to show them there's still hope, and that there's still justice!"

Just as he finished, a giant, ape-like face appeared on electronic billboards all over Times Square.

"PATHETIC EARTHLINGS! I AM YORG, CONQUERER OF WORLDS, AND THIS PLANET IS NOW MINE!" The image zoomed out to reveal a towering, hairy humanoid standing triumphant atop a heap of burning cars, a handful of other alien creatures lurking in the shadows behind him. "TO DEMONSTRATE MY BOUNDLESS BENEVOLENCE, I SHALL GRANT YOU ALL ONE OF YOUR EARTH HOURS TO PROSTRATE YOURSELF BEFORE MY FEET AND BEG FOR MERCY. THOSE WHO FAIL TO COMPLY, SHALL FEEL MY WRATH!"

A thin, cold smile spread across Dwayne's face under his mask as the broadcast cut out. "Yeah," he grinned coldly. "THAT will do nicely!"


( Elsewhere in New York... )

"So, this is your idea of a fun time out with a girl Spidey?" Felicia laughed, dropping a looter with an expertly placed kick to his solar plexus. "I've gotta say, you really know what a girl wants!"

"You know me" Peter quipped back as he webbed another two to the nearest lamp-post. "I aim to please!" Her heart racing with adrenaline, Felicia Hardy hurled a grappling hook at the last looter as he turned to run, knocking him out cold with practiced ease.

"Well, hopefully you're not out of cream yet, 'cause this kitty is still hungry for more!" She winked, swinging off in the direction of the screams and explosions coming from somewhere around Times Square.

‘Man... how did I ever end up with a girl like her?’ Peter thought to himself, ‘and more importantly, how do I keep up with her!’ “Cat, wait up!" Peter called out, zipping after the Black Cat on a web-line of his own.

Before them, a scene like out of Dante's Inferno was playing out. Times Square had been reduced to charred rubble and in the center a make-shift throne had been built out of still-burning cars had been erected. Upon it, a nearly 8 foot, shaggy, ape-like humanoid rested, looking out at the carnage he and his minions had caused with sadistic glee shining in his beady eyes.

"Hey, Bongo!" Peter called out, "Aren't you a little early setting up for Planet of the Apes?"

Two malice-filled eyes gazed into Spider-man's glass lenses, and Peter felt the crushing weight of a mountain bear down on his psyche. Before Yorg could do any damage with his mental vice, however, a grappling hook struck him straight between the eyes, breaking his concentration abruptly. "Listen hairball, the only one who gets to gaze deep into the eyes of my boyfriend is ME!" Felicia yelled. "C'mon Spidey, let's take this monkey back to the zoo!"

"Insolent Earthworms, you dare defy Yorg? Kurg, destroy them for their impudence!"

With a roar of barely sentient fury, a massive, misshapen creature shambled out of the shadows and charged towards the duo. Even hunched over, it stood nearly seven feet tall, with arms the size of steel girders and muscles to match. Moving impossibly fast for something so large, the creature was nearly on top of them when an invisible force knocked it flat on its back.

"Time for you to face justice, monster!" Night Thrasher yelled as he dropped from the sky along with Marvel Boy and Nova. "We're the New Warriors, punks, and NO-ONE wrecks New York and gets away with it on our watch!"

Before the stunned Spider-man could react to this surprising turn of events, a blinding light like that of sparkling star filled the square, and two figures appeared out of thin air.

"The pain you have caused here echoes within my darkness, and it in turn yearns for you!" the cold voice of Cloak rang out. "There will be NO more suffering today!" His shining companion continued, "So swears Cloak & Dagger!"

Taken back by the sudden appearance of these strange Earthlings, Yorg quickly regained his composure and called out to his underlings. "ENOUGH, DESTROY THEM MY MINIONS, AND PLACE THEIR BROKEN BODIES AT THE FOOT OF MY THRONE!"

As the murderous alien criminals rushed towards them, Peter looked around at the rag-tag band of young would-be heroes around him. "Oh boy, another team-up..."

BTW do you have cyberboard?

I'll take the top side then (rows A-B), and yes, I do indeed have and use Cyberboard

What say we both use cyberboard then?

Bottom for me obviously then.

It's been so long, who sets up first?

Just re-checked the summary for exactly that information. You setup first (don't forget your objects) and I take the first turn

Alright, the Warriors are ready to rock. First turn coming right up! And good luck!

New Warriors: Turn 1

free) "This is what we practiced for team, now it's time to put the training to the test and put these monsters DOWN!" Night Trasher yells, trying to rally his unlikely team. 'Trash rolls for leadership, roll is: 4 and he makes it. 4 actions for us.

1) "We hear you 'Trash. C'mon buddy time to take a ride on the rocket express to butt-kickville!" Nova responds, grapping a suprised Cloak with one hand and a wrecked motorcycle with the other as he rushes towards the alien enemy approaching the speed of sound. Nova picks up cloak and the HO in C11 and flies to J16. He drops Cloak in K17

2) "Your friend is right, if a bit rash and hot-headed. But to stop these villains we'll need more than just the Darkness of Cloak. Can you take me to him?" Tandy asks the hovering Marvel Boy. "I can certainly try" Vance replies with a smile, straining himself to levitate himself and Dagger through the air. Marvel Boy picks up Dagger and flies to J17, placing Dagger in I17

3) "Nice job deploying Warriors, but the real fight haven't begun yet!" Night Trasher grimly mutters under his mask, skating to J18

4) "Hey? Did you bush-league cub-scouts not notice me? You realise you're trespassing on the Amazing Spider-Man's hometurf here right? Why don't you all find a campfire somewhere and roast some marshmellows while I deal with these Sci-Fi channel rejects!" Spidey yells out, feeling somewhat upstaged. "You stay here Cat. This is far too dangerous for you!" Spidey shoots out a web-line, grabs a broken sattelite dish from the rooftop and swings off to J23 with the LO from C19

"These Terrans are more cowardly then I ever dreamed. They send children to face me. " Yorg borrowed. "They're barely worth my attention. Come my dear, let us enjoy this together."
