Ares: Department of War

Back Story

Ares the Greek god war has found himself resurrected after his last deadly enounter with the Sentry. Awakening in Hades he journeys from the hell realm thru a mysterious portal to earth. Once on Earth, Ares feels a strange new sensation. His senses are on fire and his body is tingling with new found power. He reaches up and strikes the ground beneath him. The rock of the desert floor splits instantly up to a mile long and Ares marvels at his newfound strength. Discarding his helm he makes way to the nations capitol. After months of honing his skill whilst simultaneously embedding himself in human politics thru both legal and illegal methods. Ares gets appointed as the nations Secretary of Defense. Aptly changing the title to Director of War.

The Avengers now fully aware of Ares new position yet unable to intervene keep a close eye on the war god. Hercules himself decides to visit his estranged uncle only to be escorted off the premises albeit rather unceremoniously. Hands tied, they could only sit and await the outcome.

Plot:

Discovering nuclear warheads on his borders Dr. Doom declares war on the United States. Knowing firsthand the adversary he faces he decides to enlist the aid of Namor and New Atlantis. Returned to its former glory by informing him of similar weapons systems aimed at his fledgling undersea kingdom. They combine forces and lead a joint attack on DC. The Avengers quickly assemble and prepare to meet them but are forced to stand down as this is a military matter and not their fight as the US military engage the opposing forces Doom and Namor step on the field. Simultaneously the back of an armored vehicle opens and out comes Ares in full battle armor. Namor smirks and glances at Doom who nods and steps back. Namor yells "Imperius Rex" and flys full speed towards Ares. Ares who still hasn't taken his eyes off Doom plants his feet and meets the Atlantean King head on. The resounding *boom* from there collision is heard and felt thru out the city. Namors smirk turns quickly to a scowl as he proclaims "How?" Ares replies, "War fuels me" and slams Namor to the ground cracking the Earth beneath his feet. Not one accustomed to being handled so easily Namor quickly recovers and furiously proceeds his assault all the while Ares continues to grow stronger as the battle rages around them. Depleted and quickly losing ground Namor gets distance and heads to the nearest water source. Doom still rooted in the same spot raises his fist and halts his forces. Both god and king walk within twenty paces of each other. Seconds seem to last forever before a move is made. The heat of battle died down to a whisper as every soul there watches in awe. Ares raises his brow as he feels his power slowly ebb and Doom mutters an arcane word and attacks with a blast of magic energy. Locking his mystical bracers recently forged by Hephaestus to shield himself. The clash of the crimson energy of the gauntlets and jade mystic energies of the Sorcerer emblazoned the battle ground. For what seemed like an eternity Doom continued to pour on the power as Ares began to tredged forward. Both enemies skin glistened in sweat as one tried to subjugate the other. Ares now a few mere feet before the dictator reaches out his hand Doom sensing the tide of battle change as the military assembled begins chanting his name stops his assault. Now face to face both god and king lock eyes. "Remove the weapons or die, I do not wish to incur a fight with Olympus but you will kneel before Doom." Ares now radiating with energy "We both know thats a threat you cannot fulfill mortal ". Doom eyes narrowed and turned his back on the war god. Commanding his troops to return home. Namor who returned shortly before the fight nodded at Doom and returned to the sea.

Ares pleased with himself smirked at turned to his nearest general. "Tell me about Wakanda".

A bit long winded lol but yea easy premise and tell me if you like it. Oh and.contribute your own stories if you'd like....

I thought it was a grand idea. Can i atleast get thoughts on the storyline?

It's very good, I think I have a better idea for the Sentry story. I'll give it a go now.

Note with this story this is just what I would believe to be my ideal comic. If you have a problem with it I can't really say much.

Backstory

Unlike the other Horsemen. Sentry followed a different drum beat. A different note to the choir. And while he had travelled through the vast expanse of the cosmos he had pondered many things. He was his own person, he was in control of his own destiny now that the Void was gone. One thought that took his mind more than anything was the White Hot Room. For Robert knew that the Void now resides in there but so does the essence of the long dead celestial corpse. That of Exitar the Executioner. And as he flies ever onwards on this spatial path. He begins to wonder where it might be that he is travelling to...

Plot

As the newly reborn Sentry careers through Space he can't help but think he is sensing a new aura. One like he has never once felt/heard/sensed (however you would like to phrase it) but regardless this new feeling holds no improbabilities for him, because he is the the Chosen Son Retuned* and he will do whatever he must to bring safety to the race he has sworn to protect, that of humanity.

After what could only be described as countless billions upon billions (recurring miles away) Sentry begins to see a bright white light in the middle of space and unlike any other thing known to space. He can tell it is obviously not a star as it isn't emitting any heat. So he proceeds to head straight for this strange object. As he does he slowly begins to feel himself being sucked into it. As Sentry passes through what seemed to be a small portal is in fact a long vortex, and with each passing second he hears a voice speaking. What he hears is.

"So you have returned, the abstract being through all universes, the very one for which reality bends to make place for"

Mystified by the voice, Sentry feels that he has heard this voice before. And it was from a very long time ago that he had heard it. And the voice held a special meaning for him. For it was the first time he felt like there was a being out there that could meet him on equal terms.

As the Sentry emerges on the other side of the portal he is taken into another area of what he thinks is space. But he is mistaken (for he has emerged in one of the many realities of the White Hot Room) and he strangely notices that the body of Exitar has seemingly vanished from his grasp without him even noticing. Almost as if for his brief period travelling through the vortex he had lost all feeling. And as Sentry begins to move a path suddenly forms out of nowhere. Just as he is about to take a few steps he hears the very same voice.

"So it truly is you, although I have to admit I do sense something new about you, almost as if you were reborn"

And before him emerges the Destroyer Darkmass!*

Sentry (in his new guise of virtually zero fear) challenges the great being standing before him by saying.

"My cause is to carry the executioner to far and beyond, you are now and obstacle and as such. Your life shall be ended"

And in a swift blaze of light the Destroyer Darkmass hits the Sentry with a flash of light which seemingly knocks him back too where he once previously stood.

Laughing the Destroyer Darkmass exclaims "Haha, you are different from the last time you entered into my world and you truly have changed"

Sentry feeling angered by receiving the attack exclaims.

"What manner of creature are you? And where is the body of the Executioner?"

In reply the Destroyer Darkmass says.

"I am the one in charge of this domain you have entered I am the one who remakes reality to my whim"

"I am the Destroyer Darkmass!"

"And your executioner is safe having been locked away in his body, where he deserves to stay"

"No longer free for his purpose"

"He was dangerous to this reality and while I am in command of this dimension you now reside in he will cease to exist, along with you" (what we know as the White Hot Room, but Robert doesn't yet)

At this point Sentry begins to feel himself being lifted up into the air and he can slowly feel his body being torn apart, Sentry in the beginning isn't worried given that to him now his flesh is pointless, as it is the soul which now drives him*. But as he glances downwards at his now half torn up corpse he see's the same white light he saw when he flew into the portal. Sentry suddenly realises that the Destroyer Darkmass is attempting to suck out Sentry's soul as a means to gather it for himself. So the Destroyer Darkmass can use it to craft new realities in which he rules.

The Sentry realising he has no choice now but to fight back with new vigor unlike ever witnesse din the universe screams with great power.

"STOP THIS!"

And with that a huge burst of energy is emitted from Robert and it heads straight for the Destroyer Darkmass. Hitting him in the face he is left temporarily distracted. And for what seems like a lifetime Sentry suddenly cannot move. He can see hear and feel but he cannot move. Then he hears a new voice in his head.

"Be calm my son. You have done more than anyone ever could have dreamed"

And with this his senses are returned to him. And in the distance he sees the Phoenix (what we will recognise as the White Phoenix of the Crown) echoing a large warcry as she/he/it charges headfirst into the Destroyer Darkmass. He is fatally wounded. And with this his body slowly falls to dust with him saying in his last words.

"You are an improbability, a false calculation in gods creation. You cannot be allowed to exist"

And with that he dissipates.

The Phoenix now turning to the Sentry says.

"You have followed your role in the grand plan for as long as was necessary, with you harbouring no thought but humanities in the hope that they would survive. And for that I thank you"

And with this the Phoenix sends a bolt of energy at the Sentry which begins to slowly remove him from the White Hot Room.

And before he finally disappears the Phoenix says to him.

"Thank you for returning the Executioner to his body it's a shame I now have the Void to see to in my Dominica, but I am pretty sure the power of the Executioner will keep him in check for a while".

And with that the Sentry is removed from the White Hot Room. And when he reawakens he is just outside the Earth's orbit. now with a new path to follow...

* The Destroyer Darkmass

* The Chosen Son Retuned

* The soul is what drives him

So that's all I could muster for a story. I tried my best to think of something good.

I hope you enjoy it.

MMm Yes. Good Idea and The Sentry....Those words still don't go together AT ALL!

I chose that due to this quote from Mindship.

Death Sentry can present Marvel with a real opportunity to intro/define a character who -- with infrequent but meaningful conflicts involving trans+ characters -- can bring back the sense of Sheer, Sublime Awe that, eg, Galactus used to have back in the old days.

I want a character that I can once again say, "Who the hell is this guy??" Each appearance should give just enough to whet the appetite for more.

I really like this Death Sentry. He needs to be handled strategically to maximize his aura of power and mission.

It was what gave me the idea I think.

Yea i seen that. I didn't take him as sincere but the post does hold truth. I do miss the days where characters like celestials and galactus and abstracts held so much power it dwarfed the imagination. I miss days when characters had caps, and writers weren't afraid for them to lose

Just noticed.

On my story it spell checked domain to Dominica.

Why always me.
