CHAPTER ONE: THE DIGITAL ZONE
Slate and Nanite attempted to invade the consciousness/programming of the IT/Nemesis Entity amalgam, with a non-hostile demeanor… a Trojan Horse approach.
IT resisted. The memories of Nemesis, the alien otherness of IT. It burned.
Slate’s question, “why would IT
wish to do that?” found answers. IT was invented on Earth and wished to return
home.
That information was a snowflake
in an overwhelming avalanche of data. Slate struggled to remember who he was.
What he was. So much information. It threatened to erase him. Replace him. It
was all he could do to hang on. [Slate
loses 22 Power Points]
On the periphery of his
consciousness, Slate could detect Nemesis and Nanite, also trying in vain to
hold back an ocean that threatened to consume their very identities.
Slate used his
heightened comprehension to examine and decipher the nearly infinite tidal wave
of code! [With his father’s luck point!]
Ethan tilted his digital head to the left, looking closely
at his mother, and Nemesis, using his heightened comprehension, he identified
the "code", similar to what he had done with Nanite when he had last
been in the digital zone. He was specifically
looking for code that tied them to IT, some back door that IT had used to cause
them to create a portal for him.
It was a needle in a haystack, and he found it. Slate used
his powers to delete the code, so that IT could no longer force them to create
the gateway. At the same time, he copied
the two halves of code to create a portal partially from Nemesis, and partially
from Nanite, and adopted the code into his own digital form!
[A one shot invention that succeeds with the help of
Slingshot’s Luck Point!]
As he did this, IT attacked Slate again with the vast
avalanche of data! [18 points of Power
Point damage]
Slate weathered the attack, his identity still holding.
Slate said, "IT, why would you want to enter the
physical world, true you were created there, but here you have perfection?" Slate sent images of the world as he left it,
ravaged by storms, people huddling in their homes, in darkness. He sent feelings of fear, anxiety, and
distress, "That is not the world to be in, it is why we have come to
you."
IT screamed: “I/We
wish to be free of me/Nemesis! I/We must
send me/him home!”

CHAPTER TWO: THE KREMLIN
Clone passed through the steaming hole in the impregnable
vault door. Mystic was gone. There were cases that had been shattered, and
their contents emptied, all under the silence of his spell.
Clone saw an alarm inside the vault was blinking. Were it not for Mystic’s spell of silence, it
would be blaring.
Then suddenly Clone felt psychic pain like a knife in his
heart. He knew that somewhere a Clone had just died!
Clone suddenly grabbed the sides of his head violently and
screamed out in pain. A moment later the Replicating Russian fell unconscious
to the floor beneath his feet.
When Clone awoke to the blare of sirens. The armed Soviet soldiers
filled the chamber. Doctor X was still unconscious. Soldiers stood in the smoking
hole in the vault door.
One soldier levelled his autorifle at Clone and barked in
Russian: “What did you do to Doctor X?! And where are the artifacts of
power?!!”

CHAPTER THREE: NEW YORK CITY
Vanguard passed
through the gate, back home to Vanguard Vault.
BOOM! The gate
closed and Vanguard was in the Special Projects room with Dr. Monster, the
Puppet, Big Bad, Baron Samedi, the three cultists, and over 100 living
skeletons!
No one else was there.
Then everything exploded.
The thermite bombs that had been placed across the upper
four floors of the Empire State Building detonated, rocking the skyscraper to
its foundation and tearing the top off, transforming it into a hundred story
high torch whose crown was a raging inferno whose smoke plume was a
hemorrhaging wound across the skyline of New York.
When Sentinel saw the usual welcoming committee wasn’t there
to meet them, he [made a Detect Danger saving throw of 25%! and] instinctively
reformed his shields around Vanguard and Dr. Monster in an energy bubble,
saving all their lives. He also saved the one cultist that Slingshot had
wrapped up in his black tentacles.
Through the golden translucence of the solid energy barrier,
Vanguard felt the concussions, heard the deafening roar, saw the room fill with
fire and smoke, watched the walls give way and the ceiling collapse.
They saw the Puppet, Big Bad, Baron Samedi, two cultists,
and over 100 living skeletons incinerated alive. The screams were
unforgettable. Then mercifully, they were gone from sight as Vanguard’s energy
sphere fell down through the crumbling floor to the stories below!
[Sentinel’s shields take 91 points of damage and hold. The
shields have 5 points left.]
Then suddenly Clone
felt psychic pain like a knife in his heart. He knew that somewhere a Clone had
just died!
Clone suddenly grabbed the sides of his head violently and
screamed out in pain. A moment later the Replicating Russian fell unconscious
to the floor beneath his feet!
Symbiote froze
up, no doubt concerned for his sister, Shelley. And for Doc.
Menagerie
mentally called out to Archimedes through the mystic link they shared,
"Are you safe! What has happened! Where are you?!"
Chillingly, there was no reply. Menagerie realized he hadn’t heard from
Archimedes ever since Broceliande. [OOC:
See those issues]
Menagerie mindspoke to Avatar, "If I drop Excalibur
will you catch it, please?"
Then he mindspoke to Sentinel, "If I turn into a
Terrordactyl can you wrap your shield around my legs so I don't have to worry
about hurting you if I tried to grab you?"
Menagerie explained to all of Vanguard, his plan was to fly
them from the blast area by carrying Sentinel's shield bubble while the bubble
holds Vanguard.
Avatar nodded and
thought an affirmative but yelled out, "Let me try to use wind to break
our fall!" and bent his will toward summoning up winds to try and support
the force bubble, as Excalibur landed in his hand.
Sentinel’s paralysis
left him! He reformed and strengthened his energy sphere construct, releasing
Menagerie and reforming it around his legs as he transformed into a mighty
Terrordactyl! “SKRAAA!”
Sentinel willed the sphere to move beyond the area of the
collapse! Terrordactyl Menagerie flapped and pulled the sphere, and Avatar
summoned the winds of Zeus to blast it free!
The sphere took damage from the continued collapse [another
43 points] and was finally freed from the collapse zone!
Vanguard was 80
stories over Manhattan, hovering near the newly damaged Empire State
Building. The top four floors and the roof had been
completely demolished.
Above them, raged the World Storm. Below them, a city rioted.
Slingshot,
looking at the desolation that was the Empire State Building, said silent
prayers that the rest of this family were in the Digital Zone safe and sound.
[OOC: sending a Luck Point to Slate]
Slingshot recognized the source of the destruction.
“Demolition explosives,” he said aloud. The scope of the job meant it was laid
by someone who had access to Vanguard Vault.
Lightning Strike's
mind raced as he surveyed the destruction around Vanguard. How
could this be triggered at the precise time we returned? There were two possible solutions, the first
being that Vanguard's return actually triggered the explosives, something that
would be very difficult to rig or that someone was observing the vault and
triggered the explosion.
The second option seemed the most likely and if it was
triggered remotely, there may be some signal still out there that Strike could
trace to its source. Without a second to
spare. Strike assumed electrical form and attempted to trace the thermite
explosion either through some remaining wiring that should not be there or a
signal that should not be there. If he
could trace either, he would follow it to the source.
SHAKOW! Strike found no signal. Still in electrical form, he entered the
wreckage of the top four floors and inhabited the ruins of one of the
detonation devices he had detected. The trigger was attuned to the energy
signature of Mystic’s portal. Timed to
activate when the portal closed, it was a brilliant design. Strike recognized
the technology right away. It was SKULL.
Lightning Strike knew that SKULL was a worldwide subversive
terrorist organization dedicated to global domination. It is the most
extensive, powerful, and dangerous such organization in history. They are
steeped in mysticism and have access to rare technology and considerable
wealth. Their legions are fanatically loyal. No SKULL agent has ever been
captured alive.
Strike first encountered SKULL when Vanguard first formed [
Issue 2! ].
He last encountered them yesterday, in 1943.
Sentinel had an
incredible sense of déjà vu. In the
Omega-verse, the Empire State Building had been utterly destroyed, with
controlled demolitions running from top to bottom. Here just Vanguard Vault, the top four
floors, had been destroyed. The rest of
the building remained standing. Sentinel knew the parallel universe had many
terrible similarities.
Sentinel used his energy sense to scan the collapse of
Vanguard Vault for survivors. There were
none.
Sentinel recognized the energy signatures of Shelley Harper, Doc Rocket, Sgt. Stone,
Agent Drake, Nathan Lamb, Larry Manetti, Archimedes, and Oracle.
All were dead.
[OOC: Not a hoax. Not a dream. Not an imaginary story. After 200 issues, welcome to the Modern Age
of Vanguard Comics. L
]
With his concern for his family occupying his mind,
Slingshot’s form was convulsing; the tentacles grasping at the cultist. The
cultist screamed once more both in fear and in pain. The voice was strangely
familiar.
Slingshot ignored him and looked at his leader.
"Sentinel, how are you? How long can you keep us afloat?" Sentinel
didn’t respond, but seemed alert and aware.
Scott lifted the cultist at eye level. His form seemed to
bulk up, grow more menacing. With a low, slow and rumbling voice, Scott said,
"You think me a Minion of Nyarlhotep. So you know what I'm capable of
doing."
He took a moment to let that sink in. His tentacles
involuntarily spasmed, tightening the man further.
"I need to make it to the summoning. Where is it? Tell
me now or I'll make you suffer like only one of my kind can."
The cultist’s hood flew back from the rough treatment,
revealing the cultist’s face. It was the
face of Scott’s only brother! A face filled with fear and hate.

Ok Jeff, so at this point, has Kirk felt his link with

IC: Scott couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing.
All dead? Nathan.. damnit. He looked at Sentinel and thought about Shelley and
their child. Stone, Doc Rocket, Oracle.. why did she die without reverting
things?
There was this little voice inside him that kept praying for
the safety of his wife and child. How were they doing? Could they return? Were
they stuck in the Digital Zone?
It was the face of
Scott’s only brother! A face filled with fear and hate
Scott could not believe his eyes. His anger at the
devastation, at the loss of life, all this because of some misplaced
idealism."You. You did this? You're behind this Cthulhu summoning!
Why?"
[hope to get some answers, a rant or something]
[Option 1 - assuming it's something derogatory, if I see
that he needs to be more angry to spill his beans, then I'll go with derision]
"Oh little brother, how it must have irked you that I got to play
superhero! Live a wonderful life with a wife and child. Prove to the world that
I was so much better. People loved me. You know that I will beat you and your
little gang of insignificant rejects. Like I have continuously beat them. That
group of idiots you were with in France? DEAD. How long did it take us?
SECONDS." Scott laughs contemptuously.
[Option 2 if he's spilling his beans, but needs prompting
without being too heavy handed then] "When and were is this happening?! I
need to know more!"
[OOC] I'm not above slapping him to an inch of his
life. or squeezing him, whichever makes
him spill his beans. Scott has only one thing in his mind it's the safety of
his family and his friends and this is not a safe environment. His estranged
brother or father don't really matter.[/ooc]
[ooc: other side note: I'm assuming that there aren't any
actions this turn beyond coping with the
realization of what has happened and maybe being able to get more information
or taking it out on Scott's "brother". The goal is to understand
where is this summoning and what can we do to disrupt it. /ooc]
--------------------------------------------------
Sentinel:
OOC: FYI, I have not read the Slingshot post. This is just on the issue and I will read it after,
so sorry if my stuff crosses yours, although I think you have your hands full
with your own situation from the issue and with your family not here and your
brother before you, your post is likely on that.
IC:
Slingshot ignored him and looked at his leader.
"Sentinel, how are you? How long can you keep us afloat?" Sentinel
didn’t respond, but seemed alert and aware.
Sentinel collapsed downward onto his knees as if he couldn’t
support his own weight as all the color drained from his face. The bubble supporting Vanguard lowered to the
nearest safe rooftop releasing the team; as it happened the construct shook
like it could fall apart at any moment and Kirk was doing all he could to keep
it together to keep them safe. At that
point on the rooftop Kirk’s head hung downward and his body convulsed. They got the idea he would have vomited had
there been food in his stomach to release.
Tears welled up in his face which now began turning beet red as he
spoke.
“They’re gone.
They’re all gone. We’ve lost them
all. I can feel it.”
“And he cried her name in an undertone as tears fell down
his cheeks, “Shelley. My Shell; my love; my life.”
Then he stood up and looked upward and screamed back in rage
at the darkened heavens above him, “SHELLEY!”
And took off like a rocket towards the building. Back into the debris.
He zeroed in right to her body by what remained of her
energy signature. Nothing around him
kept him from her as his energies responded to his feelings as opposed to his
thoughts to clear the path to her; his energy flowed to his wishes, sort of
like seeing an image out of the corner of your eye – knowing it is there but
barely perceptible to where you are at.
He found her and cradled her body and kissed her head. Their link severed. A piece of him gone. Her energy signature was like a degraded
photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy worsening with what made her having
been lost to the greatest enemy, death.
Then his hands moved towards that second faint energy signature within
her. He memorized every nuisance of his
child that he could. To hold that memory
as part of himself; as he would her. And
he wept over them.
“No. No. No
no-no-nonono; he kept repeating and he rocked her body back and forth.
And he thought to himself how useless he was now. How truly powerless he was and how he needed
to be more. To be better. To do more.
And he did this his power reacted to his emotions
resummoning what energies he could and focusing on his body. His physically battered and worn body. His permanently scarred never to be whole
again psyche and his energies shown around him anew. The skies thundered back
as if mocking him.
(OOC: This moment
could certainly be used as a jumping point in Kirk’s power evolution
(advancement) in the future)
And with his energies renewed a composure came over
him. A sense of calm. He closed her eyes with his hand and tenderly
touched her cheek and kissed her lips one last time and whispered, ‘my love,’
and stood up amidst the wreckage.
His energies flowed from him and he felt and retrieved the
forms of his lost friends. His murdered
sacrificed family. In all directions at
once his energy moved and they came to him.
He didn’t know what he was going to do with them, but he damn well
wasn’t leaving them in this. Here.
His construct formed a darkened layered construct holding
the lifeless bodies of the heart of Vanguard and Chess that were taken from
them in the explosion.
It would seem that Kirk’s life as he knew it truly was
over. Everything he had built since that
first rooftop meeting years ago.
Everyone that meant something to him, that was the core of the family he
built were gone. And a part of his life
that he never dreamed he would have and share, was ripped from him before it
truly had a chance to even begin.
And he decided.
And he flew back to the rooftop he had left Vanguard moments
earlier.
As he descended to land he began to recite looking at his
remaining teammates, “Doc. Sarge. Drake. Nathan. Manetti.
Oracle.” Looking to Menagerie
with a face of disbelief and nodding his head, “Archimedes”. And then he walked over to Hal and said
putting a hand on his should and shaking his head, “Shelly”. And he shook his head no again looking
downward saying, “My Shelley.” And he
looked upward again into Hal’s eyes and said, “My son Hal, my son”. (OOC or my daughter, certainly Kirk would
know at this point).
Sentinel took a deep breath and then spoke in an emotionless
calmness. It was frightening and
alarming. “I don’t accept this. I reject this. And I cannot think about this. And neither can you.”
“This is going to be undone.
Whether it is an Oracle wake-up call or some other sort of miracle, we
are going to find a way. This will not
stand. And that is the final word.”
The next moment it seemed as if Kirk had returned to
them. More normal. “Mystic’s body was nowhere to be found. No trace of him. I haven’t trusted him from day one and even
the past we rubbed each other the wrong way.
Quite convenient that despite him gating us back he was nowhere to be found
and escaped the explosion.
(Perhaps this would be a place for Strike to give his
findings and conclusions)
Jeff – any chance there is any sort of energy signature left
from Mystic’s departure that could point us in his direction? Other than him, this part of Vanguard has
nothing more to go on for this issue that I can tell.
If we can it would be nice to find a place to properly bury
our dead before departing. Even if Kirk
isn’t going to stop believing (or let anyone else) that we are getting them back.
…. That’s what I got so far.
A big scene with not much helping our situation.
OOC: Couple of other thoughts. Any inquiry into Kirk's references to their
deaths will be handled with a personality response akin to Agent Cho from the
Mentalist if you are familiar with the character.
If this does 'stand' when all is said and done then at this
point it would seem Kirk would embark on a journey to find them. Since energy cannot be made or destroyed,
merely changed, Kirk is going to find his love and their child in whatever form
they now exist after what 'this existence as we know it' defines as death. Hopefully we aren't going there. But after saving the world (assuming we do)
if this isn't undone, it would be difficult to see him accepting this and moving
forward trying to rebuild.
Besides, in addition to all of their Chess allies other than
Gray being lost and our headquarters, we have that evil clandestine part of the
government that will work to prevent Vanguard's rebuilding... using the enemies
Vanguard captured that are in the Vault as well as information from their
doppelgangers. (my theory on what is happening there). Vanguard will not be able to be rebuilt in
its current form with the forces conspiring against us and this emotional
damage............ unless you have some other twists to reveal. I hope so.

Symbiote:
Upon surveying the devastation, and realizing just how
much--and who--has been lost, Hal grows very cold.
He turns towards the cultist/Scott's brother (if that is who
he is). "Let me try,
Slingshot," he says, pulling a
small pen knife out of his tool belt.
He looks the cultist in the eye for a few seconds, and then
begins to speak, very slowly and deliberately.
"I am, among other things, a medical doctor," he said. "A very good one. A very smart one. I have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of
how the human body works. I know, among
other things, exactly every pressure point in your body. I know what parts of your body are the most
receptive to pain.
He cocks his head and looks at the cultist cooly. "For example, did you know that with the
exception of the genitals, the hands have more nerve endings than any other
part of the body?"
Hal then stabs the pen knife into the top of the cultist's
hand.
"I don't care what your bosses have said they would do
to you, idiot," Hal says, then grabbing the handle and using the
Accelerator power to vibrate the knife at super speed, sending waves of agony
through the man. "I guarantee, we
can make it worse. WHERE. IS.
THE. SUMMONING?"
OOC: Hal will
continue to torture the man until he gives the information or until somebody
stops him.
Not sure what else to do at this point.

Menagerie carries his friends to a safe spot. As he finds

Menagerie thought sends to the cultist, "You will not
welcome your master. I will eat you first."
He rests and waits for the others in Vanguard to finish with
the cultist first. He considers the events that lead to this and reviewed all
that had died and were lost.
"Sentinel, were you able to locate Mystic?"
(OOC: If Menagerie needs to make a Int Save to recognize
that Mystic wasn't mentioned then roll the save. If he fails the save use this
instead: Menagerie had the nagging feeling he was missing something. There was
something unaccounted for but he couldn't figure out what")
Menagerie will attempt to keep his rage to a low boil. There
will be vengeance for this atrocity but it will be deliberate and measured.

Slate:
Slate struggled with the onslaught from IT, but he felt no
malice in it... where others would see an attack, Slate saw frustration and
even fear, but it was overwhelming. Slate reached out to Nemesis and
Nanite. He had to get them out of here,
he had to do more, Slate began to pull on the resources of the Digital
dimension, pulling together code to create what he wished, a portal to another
world. He felt something inside him
tear, an innocence lost.
Slate created a disk beneath them, surrounded by a bubble of
protective code, and activated the code he had copied from his mother and
Nemesis, tearing a hole in the fabric between the digital dimension, and
home. Small at first, growing in size...
a digital Aperture. A rip in reality
appeared in the remains of the destroyed skyscraper a perfect two dimensional
circle filled only with static.
Slate, Nanite, and Nemesis stepped through the portal, into
the burning rubble of the Vanguard Vault.
The portal behind them snapping shut with a "BOOM", as air
rushed in to fill the digital vacancy.
Taking in the devastation around them, Slate looked around
them in a shock his masked face did not reflect, as the fire danced in his
metallic eyes he was changed.
Slate's physical body and mind forced to adulthood by the
onslaught in the digital zone. He looked
larger, and moved with a confidence he had lacked before. This was not the boy who had run, but a man
ready to take his place in the world.
Gone from his chest was the blank slate, in its place, a
symbol of his true connection to both this world and the digital one. Aperture arrived.

Clone:
The Kremlin:
When Clone awoke to the blare of sirens. The armed Soviet
soldiers filled the chamber. Doctor X was still unconscious. Soldiers stood in
the smoking hole in the vault door.
One soldier leveled his autorifle at Clone and barked in
Russian: “What did you do to Doctor X?! And where are the artifacts of
power?!!”
Clone gently placed his hand over his face, shook his head
back and forth for a moment, and than looked up at the soldier with a look of
bewilderment and confusion. The Dazed Duplicator spoke to soldier in his native
tongue, "I don't understand . . . artifacts of power? Doctor X?" As
Clone spoke the name of his long time enemy a look of concern and fear suddenly
gripped his face. "Doctor X?!?" he said as he turned his head and
stared down at the unconscious Soviet Super-Mind lying on the floor beside him.
His head than snapped back around towards the soldier and he exclaimed, "
. . . but I don't understand. What am I doing here?!? What is going on?!?"
New York City:
OOC: This Clone will remain unconscious . . . for now.

we are going to have to figure where the line is drawn to still maintain the
