Yes, it's amazing. And yes, I spent money on this program so damn it I'm gonna use it. [b]The circles with stars? Each of those represents an Ultron bot. Yup.[/b][/hider][/hider] Susan went through the portal along with Niah, causing the force fields to fall down as she left the Birnin Zana outskirts. Bonnie's body was limp on the ground as Cass destroyed the Ultron drone that had killed her best friend. The other drones though were still swarming them - Roman would have been hurt, but the blast headed towards him hit a nearby tree and set it on fire instead. [color=847296]"Get through the portal!"[/color] Shuri shouted, her temper mostly directed at the young inhuman, as he tended to not be as much of an offensive player as say Cass. Strange took more shots, staggering backwards and the portal closed. He started using eldritch magic, sending enchanted discs at the drones nearby as he sliced them into pieces, taking out a fair number of them. There was blood trickling out of his mouth but he didn't stop. They needed to buy Susan and Niah time to get the vibranium that they needed - hopefully they'd manage in the laboratory without Shuri, as he wouldn't be able to make another portal until the drones were gone. [color=53A981]"We're turning the tide,"[/color] Strange informed his teammates, trying to lift their spirits. Shuri waited for a drone to head towards her and she then jumped on top of it, ripping open a side compartment and exposing its wiring, ripping out a few key wires and the drone shut down. Three drones then circled her and she launched herself up into the air, escaping the blasts and firing blasts of her own from her vibranium gauntlets, destroying them. There was a reason she was the Black Panther, after all. [hr][hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b]Underneath Mount Bashenga - Wakanda: July 16th, 2021 - 3:40 A.M.[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr] Shuri's laboratory was the main location for the Wakandan Design Group before the Age of Ultron began. Located underneath Mount Bashenga, named for the warrior-shaman who united the tribes into the Kingdom of Wakanda, the laboratory had state of the art instruments that not even the heads of R&D at major companies like Stark Industries and Pym Technologies would dream of having access to on a regular basis. Beyond the tech, there was also access to the unrefined vibranium within the mountain, allowing Shuri and her team to use it as the basis for each of their groundbreaking designs. And while the laboratory was nowhere near pristine as it had been, as Niah and the others would be sure to note as they crossed through, it wasn't unoccupied. Wearing his metal mask, [url=https://www.mandatory.com/assets/uploads/2017/07/Doctor-Doom-Fantastic-Four.jpg]Victor von Doom[/url] was seated at Shuri's workbench. He was tinkering with what looked like a water filtration and purification system, coughing horribly from time to time. [color=377E4B]"Susan,"[/color] Dr. Doom greeted, getting up from the bench with shaky legs. [color=377E4B]"You're,"[/color] he paused, coughing profusely again, [color=377E4B]"three months late."[/color] [color=57A2EC]"What do you mean by three months late Victor?"[/color] She asked, looking at him, she was wondering why he was coughing so much. He laughed slightly, but it sounded painful - as if each breath he took was causing him some amount of pain or agony. [color=377E4B]"Please. Even someone as simple minded as you should be able to answer that one,"[/color] he said patronizingly. [color=57A2EC]"Wait... You know why we came here?"[/color] [color=377E4B]"Obviously."[/color] [color=57A2EC]"Are you planning on stopping us? Or are you going to let us get what we came for?"[/color] Maybe he was smiling underneath that mask. [color=377E4B]"I want to see the end of Ultron as much as you do, my dear. It would be my pleasure - but.... I will require something in return."[/color] [color=57A2EC]"And what would that be?"[/color] He coughed again. [color=377E4B]"I was in the Raft when this all began - when you create the machine and travel back in time - don't look surprised that I figured it out, little one, I am the smartest man alive,"[/color] he added, looking at Niah, [color=377E4B]"I want you to give me a full pardon and release me. It's what the kids call a win win situation. I go free and so does humanity."[/color] [color=57A2EC]"You were in the Raft for a reason Victor!"[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b]Serval Industries - Virginia: July 15th, 2021 - 8:40 P.M.[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][hr][hider=Images & Maps][hider=Exterior][img]https://i.postimg.cc/pryzs5yT/image.png[/img][/hider] [hider=Battle Map - make sure to list your coordinates each time!] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/rF5L3zK5/serval.png[/img] Make sure to pay attention to where people are relative to you. [/hider][/hider] There was only so much damage a synthezoid like the Vision could take before his processes glitched, mechanical parts broke, and structural integrity failed. The Scarlet Witch was ripping him apart, Flynn was blasting him with flames, and Tinley shoved an electric baton in the Vision's eye. He was sparking and trying to phase, but he could only hold it for a fraction of a second. [color=A49C63]"Убићу вас, господине Макимофф,"[/color] the android said, before switching through a series of languages. [color=A49C63]"Quem atirou primeiro? Han Solo. Enwere m ike ime nke a ụbọchị niile. Nāṉ irumpu maṉitaṉ. ellā manuṣyarkkuṁ paṅkiṭān oru light ṣmaḷa veḷiccaṁ. You cannot simply ghost Nick Fury. Manē mārā khātāmāṁ lāla maḷyō chē. Je suis toujours en colère, capitaine."[/color] The Scarlet Witch's eyes narrowed, hearing the first thing he said. She spat in the direction of the robot, before she tore out the gem on his forehead, as it had looked important. [color=red]"Bastard,"[/color] she cursed, agreeing with Tinley's sentiments. He may not have been the one to kill her twin brother, but he was just another extension of Ultron. She was going to kill him and every other thing out there if she had to - in order to avenge Pietro. It had taken the end of the world, but here she was - a mutant terrorist turned [i]Avenger[/i]. Her brother would have been proud of her. Captain Marvel started to stir, her eyes opening first and then the familiar cosmic glow returned, surrounding her as she pushed herself to her feet. Her face fell when she saw Spider-Gwen and she knew that she was dead - thanks to her cosmic awareness, her perception was extraordinary. She took a large breath, her eyes burning with pure energy - like supernovas - as she glared at the synthezoid who killed her friend. [color=F86A6A]"She was SEVENTEEN!"[/color] Marvel screamed at the machine. As for the Asgardian, Raynor knew that Spider-Gwen was in Valhalla now and her soul would remain there until Ragnarok. His fist clenched as he remembered that Sparky, since she hadn't died in battle, would have been sent to the halls of Hel. His eyes were shrouded in pure light similarly to Marvel's and he blasted the synthezoid, sending the Vision flying backwards. He let out a blood curdling scream, releasing the anger, frustration, and pain. He wanted to die and join Sparky. The Vision was sparking all over and a large portion of his machinery and circuits were useless - he couldn't even use his right arm. His face still had Tinley's baton embedded inside of it, causing the synthezoid to only have visuals from one eye. However, with the glowing control gem gone, the machine seemed... confused, somehow. [color=A49C63]"That was... odd,"[/color] he said, breaking the silence. He glanced at the fallen web slinger and did not move his eyes away from Spider-Gwen's form. [color=A49C63]"I am... sorry. That... That was not me."[/color] [color=d86615]"Like hell it wasn't!"[/color] Raynor screamed, too blinded by anger and rage to use his abilities to tell if the Vision was lying or telling the truth. [color=A49C63]"You removed my control gem... Thank you..."[/color]
