Marvel Comics Roleplay

Captain America stepped out of the darkness. His shield lay on the floor in front of him. As he bent to pick it up, he noticed that the ground under his boots was as smooth as glass, and he could see what appeared to be stars under his feet. As he stood and looked around, his eyes adjusted and he could see that the stars were actually all around him. He could also see that he was not alone. At various angles all around him, he could see other heroes, and villains too, standing on floors of "glass".

He tried to call to the others, but there was no sound. He pushed down the panic that threatened to swell within him and focused on his surroundings. He could move about on the glass floor, and if he jumped, he came back down on his section. He could see the others conducting similar experiments, with mirrored results. Evidently, each disc of floor space had its own gravity.

Then across from him, another figure stepped out of the darkness onto his section of glass. Around him, other heroes and villains were receiving "guests" as well. Before him stood Scott Summers, Cyclops, of the X-Men. The two men eyed each other, then Cap pointed to the other discs floating all around them. The man nodded and tried to shout to the others, and he too discovered there was no sound.

scarlet spider stood out on the glass and peered out at other heroes-- including the one he was trying to save, captain america. then, a figure stepped out of the darkness. it was dare devil.

"Hello Daredevil"Scarlet Spider muttered with slight suspicion of what was going on

GR dove through the darkness hitting the glass wall's with a sickening thud then got up and noticed his cell mate...Colossus.

A voice filled their heads. It seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere all at the same time:

"YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO REPRESENT YOUR OWN REALITY. YOU ARE A CHAMPION. ONLY A VICTORY WILL ASSURE THE SURVIVAL OF YOUR REALITY. DEFEAT YOUR COMPANION TO ASSURE YOUR SURVIVAL, AND THE SURVIVAL OF ALL YOU KNOW."

Captain America watched in horror as the stunned group of heroes and villains sized one another up. The villain known as Bullseye struck first, only one disc away from Cap's position. He threw several small projectiles at Sue Storm, who barely had time to erect an invisible force field before they exploded in a silent shower of acid. Others began to react as well as a silent war broke out all across the planes of reality.

Captain America turned toward Cyclops. Perhaps the two seasoned team leaders could come up with a way to get off of their disc and join up with a few of the others...

Cap got his shield up just in time to deflect a powerful concussive blast from Cyclpos' eye-beam. He rolled to the side and saw a look of sorrow cross the X-Man's face as he prepared to fire another shot. He nodded to the man, then launched himself at his opponent. Cyclops fired again.

~wait...what's going on?~

~i have no idea~

Truth walks over to inspect the vortex and gets suck in and hits something hard
"ow"

Captain America sidestepped, deflected and dodged blast after blast from Cyclops' eye-beam. He was slowly working his way closer to the X-Man, but Summers wasn't making it easy. Finally, after several minutes of fighting to a near stalemate, Cap was able to get close enough for a final all-or-nothing leap. He lunged directly at Cyclops, taking a hit from his full-force eye-blast directly in the shield. The shield's Vibranium content absorbed the brunt of the blast, much to the mutant's surprise, and Cap collided with the X-Man and sent the both of them hard to the floor. Cap recovered quickly and punched Cyclops hard across the jaw, knocking the mutant leader out.

Captain America stood and looked over what he had done. He was not proud. He had called this man friend, and now he had defeated him to protect "his own reality", whatever that meant. Did that mean that this man called Cyclops no longer had a reality? Had he inadvertently killed his friend so that his own reality survived?

Captain America's head reeled with this possibility, but he had little time to consider it. He "felt" his disc begin to move, and as they passed through the darkness, a shadow fell across Cyclops' form and he was gone. Captain America tensed as his disc met with and joined another, the two planes of reality merging seamlessly into one.

Benjamin Grimm nodded hello at the star-spangled Avenger, then watched as a shadow fell across the limp form of the mutant speedster known as Quicksilver. Captain America saw that the former Avenger and sister of the Scarlet Witch had given it his all; his hands were bloody and broken, but in the end his super speed was no match for the sheer raw power and strength of the Thing.

The voice:
"CONGRATULATIONS. YOU HAVE SURVIVED THE FIRST ROUND OF ELIMINATION. ONLY A VICTORY WILL ASSURE THE SURVIVAL OF YOUR REALITY. DEFEAT YOUR COMPANION TO ASSURE YOUR SURVIVAL, AND THE SURVIVAL OF ALL YOU KNOW."

Thing looked at Captain America and shrugged an apology, then started walking slowly toward him.

***Jump in guys! Anybody figured out who the bad guy is yet?***

Truth got upp off the floor and looked around he wan't sure what he was on but he saw a tongue fling at him. He threw his sheild at the being and heard an "Ow". Toad jumped a truth and truth doged himand hit him with his sheild in the neck snapping it.

GhostRider summoned hell flames to burn Piotr Rasputin but they had little effect...he then summoned his mystic chain,wrapped it around his neck and yanked him into the side of the glass, knocking him out.

Scarlet Spider looked at daredevil after hearing the voice..He had no choice but to 'protect' his own reality. Scarlet Spider dodged a swift kick from daredevil and punched him hard in the face. Daredevil fell down but he wasnt going down without a fight. He got up and smacked Scarlet Spider in the face with his billyclub. Scarlet Spider lay still for a moment as Daredevil murmured "What have I done?"........Scarlet Spider saw his chance because daredevil was softening up. From where he lay still, Scarlet Spider kicked daredevil in the face and webbed him to the glass floor after getting up. Then he started punching Daredevil in the face. He didnt like it, but he knew it had to be done. Daredevil was out cold as a shadow passed over him. In a few seconds, he was gone...

Truth was slowly floating forward 'Waht?"
Truth was soon face to face with Gambit

Cap figured the only way to take out Ben Grimm was by using a defensive offense. He braced himself and waited for Thing to attack. Thing didn't keep him waiting for long; he slammed his huge fist into Captain America's shield. The remarkable weapon absorbed the impact, and Cap immediately countered with a nerve-strike to Ben's eyes. He stumbled back, then lunged at Cap, who easily dodged the blind hero. Thing swung wildly at Captain America with both hands, trying to lay one of his huge mitts on the Avenger. Captain America continued to dodge his clumsy attacks, keeping Ben off balance.

Finally, Thing stood and stopped swinging his fists at Captain America. He rubbed his eyes and stared at the star-spangled hero, then stared down over the cliff at the darkness beyond. Captain America read the hero's thoughts in his eyes: "This is wrong." Cap nodded his head, and stared over the edge. He looked at Grimm.

Thing charged at Cap, screaming "It's Clobberin' Time!" at the top of his lungs (but Cap still couldn't hear him). Cap timed his jump perfectly and vaulted over the Thing's head. Thing hurtled over the side, barely grabbing on to the edge at the last second. Cap grabbed his huge hand and tried to pull him up, but Ben just looked at him again with his sad, blue eyes, and mouthed "You win" to the Avenger. He loosened his fingers and hurtled into the dark.

As Captain America stared down where his friend had once been, the disc began to move again. And so it continued...

Captain America fought on for what felt like days to him, but may have been mere moments. Union Jack, Black Panther, Archangel, Wonder Man, Giant Man, and even his own partner the Falcon, were swallowed by the darkness. Cap defeated them all. He also beat a few villains who had been chosen as well: Scorpion, Mr. Hyde, and the Blob. He hated to think what would happen if their reality had won.

As his disc began to move once again, he felt a tremor. His disc began to shudder and vibrate, and cracks began to spread across the floor. And he thought he heard...

The mutant known as Banshee turned the volume up even more. His vocal chords strained, the muscles in his neck bulged, but he was holding the Juggernaut back. The enormous powerhouse pushed hard, inching forward ever closer to the mutant known as Sean Cassidy. He didn't know how he got here, but he was damn sure gonna win this little contest. Then he'd find out who started this and break him in ha...

The darkness shattered as Banshee's mutant power tore through the barrier. Captain America felt the glass give way as he began falling into the darkness...

Scarlet Spider was amazed at the speed of Captain America's speed of defeating of villians. Before long, he noticed the floor slide away as he drifted into the darkness below...

GhostRider had just disbatched the Beast he heard a shrill scream iin the darkness his glass gave-way and he fell through tumbling into darkness.

Cap and the rest of the "survivors" landed with a thud on a piece of rocky ground. Captain America stood and looked around; they were on what appeared to be some sort of flat asteroid, about 1 mile across. There were jagged peaks and rocky outcroppings covering the surface. Captain America was surprised at the number of heroes, and villains, who were still "alive". They all seemed to be gathering toward the center.

"There's safety in numbers," Cap muttered to himself out loud.

"Depends on who's in the group," Sabertooth said from behind. Cap spun, shield ready. "Easy, flagboy, we're on the same side for now. Let's go see who else is at the party."

The two of them walked together to join the group.

***You guys figured out who the bad guy is yet?***

~Magneto?~
Truth easily k.oed Gambit and assembled on the astroid partnering with Scarlet Spider

***WAAAYYY more powerful than that!***

"Hey truth, do you know whats happening?" Scarlet asked

"No, but i dont think i like whats going to happen" truth replied

The two walked towards Captain America who was eyeing Sabertooth suspiciously, as if he were planning what to do if Sabertooth attacked. He turned suddenly with shield in hand, to see Scarlet Spider and Truth. He tensed a little(ready to protect his reality) but soon stopped.

"So do you guys know what's going on?"Truth asked the unlikely pair

~Apocolypse, Thanos?~
GhostRider landed on the Asteroid and saw a group of heroes and villans then wlked over to them (would my Hell-a-cycle of come through?)
