Welcome to Gaia! ::

Even with the added artillery of the systems defense weapons against their foes, Apocalypse horsemen proved much more powerful than they anticipated. Despite being out of the telepathic range of Pestilence she was aware of what Interface was doing and for a brief moment let her telepathic hold release so she could send a mind bolt at Interface. Interface felt as if he had been struck by a bus and fell to the ground from the shock. For a moment he blacked out, but through SUE's voice he was able to eventually regain consciousness.

Alfred. Alfred. Wake up. Wake up.

Ugh, did anyone get the number of that bus?

You were not hit by a bus. You were struck by Pestilence's mind bolt.

Never mind. Let's take that pain in the !#@$ down.

By this time Pestilence had gotten back up and were now pushing the heroes back. Interface joined into the fray trying to help return fire, but with Pestilence assaulting their minds, it was hard for them to fight back fully. Eyeing Interface, Pestilence narrowed her eyes sensing that this was the one who had been giving her the most trouble. "You were the one who turned our defenses against me didn't you. Well your efforts were in vain. I will make you experience pain like none you have ever felt before. Behold my full power!" she shouted as she began amplifying her telepathy. The veins in her head began to surface as she concentrated with all her strength.

The heroes screamed in agony as they felt their minds being ripped to shreds. Interface too could not withstand the assault on his mind fell to the ground in pain while holding his head. "Argh! Make it stop! Make it stop!"

"Hahaha poor boy. I will continue until your body snaps from the pain and your mind melts from my onslaught. Bwahahaha!"

Even communicating with SUE was nearly impossible.

Alfred! Alfred Hold on.

Can't focus. Too...much...pain..

Seeing that her host was now powerless to combat their foe, SUE shut off his consciousness and began to redirect the power they had received from Silver Surfer. Despite being unconscious Interface's body stood up on its own and was surrounded by a bright blue light that slowly took shape into that of a person dressed for war. The energy shrouded Interface walked slowly toward Pestilence with little to no hindrance.

"Im-impossible. There is no way you should be standing." she cried with amazement and growing fear. In a desperate attack she began sending more mind bolts at SUE who was now controlling Interface's movement. "Why won't you go down. It's impossible. IMPOSSIBLE!" she screamed. Once SUE had closed the distance the armor of light that surrounded Interface was now brilliant and blinding to Pestilence who tried to slash at him with her diseased claws. But the attack did nothing as the nails only scratched the surface and did not penetrate. SUE's energy armor expanded into a large hand then grabbed Pestilence by the throat which was much wider than 2 men.

"Y-you're not human." the horseman gurgled as she felt the hand slowly clench tighter threatening to crush her windpipe. Again Pestilence attacked with all she had with her telepathy and claws but to no avail. "You're half right." she replied as her energy armor construct began to pummel her in the abdomen. Pestilence began to cough blood after several powerful strikes. "M-mercy. Please. Mercy." she begged. SUE paused for a while, Alfred's face was emotionless as the horseman grabbed onto the constructs arm for support. Slowly SUE lowered her to the ground. Pestilence coughed for air.

"Thank you." she wheezed.

"I don't want your thanks." SUE replied.

"You don't want my thanks? Then how about I give you your DEATH!!!" she shouted as she began to take control of several of the heroes who began to fire upon Interface. Energy blasts and projectiles pelted her from all side and rained relentlessly due to Pestilence's mind control.

"Mercy is for the weak little one." she cackled. "Now finish him my children. Finish him until there is nothing left!"

SUE could feel the overwhelming attacks from all sides as the armor construct shattered exposing Interface's armor which was now taking damage.

I'm sorry Alfred. I have failed you. SUE said as she brought Alfred's conscious back from safety.

No, it's too early to give up.

There are far too many for us to fight. And we can not risk hurting our allies.

There has to be a way. If not we must forge a way. If we can't do everything in our power and Apocalypse wins then everyone who has fallen would have been for nothing.

Then you have a plan?

It's a crazy thought, but what do we have to lose. Right? Ok. Let me have access to all the power we got from Silver Surfer.

Everything? there was hesitance in her voice.

Everything.

Very well.

Alfred felt the power that SUE had reserved begin to release within him

At this time Pestilence was laughing maniacally as she watched Interface's armor become battered. It was only a matter of time before they could get into the soft insides. "FINISH HIM!!" she commanded her puppets.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!!" Interface yelled as he released a large burst of energy blowing everyone back and shattering his own armor. Alfred stood there only in his street clothes with a glowing aura around him. Using the distraction to his advantage, he grabbed his shattered gauntlet and fished inside for a certain canister. Once he found it he quickly rushed Pestilence who tried to send another mind bolt, but Interface had anticipated the tactic and fired a blast from his hand to blind her.

"No! Curse you! I'm blind. I'm blind." she shouted as she rubbed her eyes.

"And open!" Alfred shouted as he shoved the canister into her mouth and uppercut her chin causing the canister to explode and release its contents. The canister contained the same mind althering chemicals used by War Machine against Daredevil to hamper his senses. However because the canister was in its concentrated form the effects were 10x as powerful.

Being a telepath the flood gates of unfiltered thoughts coming from every being on the planet filled her mind. The voices echoed endlessly and were amplified.

"Make it stop! Make the voices stop!" she cried. "I-I can't control it. I can't shut them out! Master! Help me!"

Interface and the others watched as she convulsed and tore at her hair.

"Should we put her out of her misery?" one asked.

"Naw let her taste what it feels like when someone messes with your mind." said another.

This went on until Pestilence eventually collapsed from mental shock.

"Will the effects wear off any time soon?" one of the heroes asked Interface.

"Well I made her swallow a canister that is supposed to be dispensed as a fine mist where just a whiff will make you go nuts, so it might be a while. Unless her mind shatters first." he replied unsure of what will happen. "Still with Pestilence out of the way that leaves only the 3 other horsemen to deal with."

"Pestilence is out of commision, but we're not through yet guys. Let's help the others." he stated when he saw them looking on at the pitiful pile that was Pestilence.

"Yes sir!" They answered in acknowledgement and split accordingly. Interface though slumped to the ground exhausted.

You did well Alfred. But because you had taken all of my power, I'm afraid I had lost all the data I had stored away. All the data from my home world is gone forever. Alfred could sense the sadness in her voice.

I wouldn't be so sure SUE. he said as he tapped his temple. When you sent all your power, you sent all the knowledge with it including the scrambled data you hadn't worked on yet so...

You are a very unpredictable man Alfred, but I am grateful that you were able to save what was precious to me.

Heh, guess you'll have to download a backup then SUE.

Indeed. she replied with what sounded like a chuckle.

Alfred took up one of the blasters from a dead guard and began to make his way to the others.

We cannot hope to aid them in the battle as we are now. It will take some time to gather enough energy to make a decent shield for protection.

Then let's help them indirectly. Let's mess with their electronics.

Alfred ran to the nearest console and began to hack the systems and with SUE's help they were able to gain access to gate locks, cameras and more defense weaponry. In doing so set much of the area into further chaos for Apocalypse's soldiers.

((whew. Long post, but hopefully a good on. And np oni. Life gets busy. It's fine.))

What it really looked like was that Daredevil and Ms Marvel got wrecked bad and died for it. But to any keen eye you can see...

Daredevil blocks the first blow from Doctor Doom's device with his Clubs. The attack so strong that it merely threw him off his feet burning holes into his Clubs. Using whatever was left out of a hollow stick, he threw it to block the spear about to pierce Ms Marvel.

Now with the both of them fighting bare-handedly, it was time for some teamwork with a little help from a certain Silver Surfer and giant red dinosaur.

Daredevil leaped up and grabbed the bottom of the Surfer's board as he flew by and flipped over the barrier's strongpoint attacking Doom from above.

"Hey Doctor, Can you tell me what's wrong with your toy? Why didn't it kill me? Is it sick? With all your fancy sciences I'm sure you're able to fix a small setback amiright?" Daredevil mocked loudly while violently pounding on Doom's head which did nothing but leave an opening for Devil Dinosaur to charge at him.

"Trying to pull an old trick done too many times?" Doctor Doom sent out Doombots and restrained Devil Dinosaur.

Daredevil jumped off of Doctor Doom and flew into Ms Marvel's hand in which she launched him through a robot.
"AGH! A bit easier on the shot next time?"
Ms Marvel grabbed Doctor Doom and started to swing him around. "Stop being such a baby!" she said with the audible sounds of struggle as Doom broke free from her grasp and shot lasers at her face with stunned her.
"Foolish mortals. Pitiful resistance." Doom said with notable small volumes of wear and damage.

Silver Surfer took his shot at Doctor by enchanting one of the Doom bots to turn against him and bombard him with all it's ammo at once with small burst.
Dr Doom able to get out the way is punched hard in the face dented the mask and cracking it a little by Silver Surfer who used the element of surprise through the smoke of the wasted blast.
Doctor Doom was sent flying into a wall. Being as a quick as anything, he recovers using boot jets and flies at Daredevil who evades him and has Doom run into Devil Dinosaur's tough skin. Being easily overwhelmed he falls back in fear.

"Looks like I have something you dont.. No fear! On 3 gang! 1..2..3!"
On three they all punch Doom at once which the added strength and the vibration from the metal shatters his shell. Doom fell in some pieces and fell over himself. He was no match for freedom.

"We should be like...The Street Avengers or something!"
Ms Marvel said with passion and satisfaction.

They all stood there looming over Doom's body. Such an accomplishment should never go un rewarded. All in which was a shot at Apocalypse and living another day.

Silver Surfer flew on over and tapped Interface on the shoulder and offered him a piece of Doom's mask to keep as a souvenir.

Interface did his best to aid the other Avengers in their fight with the other horsemen. At first things seemed to be moving in their favor as 2 of the horsemen fell. However things turned for the worse as the other horsemen began taking down more of the Avengers. They even managed to turn their allies and bring them under their influence as he saw them turn turn to vampires. Using whatever electronics he had available to him he tried to shut the doors or at least hinder their escape, but to no avail. They were too fast.

He thought they had the upper hand. They had won the battle, but at a cost. Now they had to battle the tyrant himself. In their weakened state, he was unsure of the outcome. However he knew that if they gave up, it was a loss for all mankind. Taking whatever weapons he could pick up, he joined with the others. As he did so, he felt a light tap on his shoulder and saw Silver Surfer who offered a piece of Doom's mask. "Thanks. I'll put it up as a trophy or something." he said and looked at the mask wondering about the man behind the mask. However that had to wait. Apocalypse was waiting. And it wasn't nice to keep the host waiting.

Interface looked at them slightly bewildered when they turned to him surprised they were waiting for the others and him to join in. He shrugged his shoulders. "Ah what the heck. Why not. I'm in." he said join in them. At least there was a sense of fellowship between them. Sharing a common goal and thinking of how to better the future. Before this he had never had thought much of his future. Running around and hiding from Apocalypse men tended to take most of his time. However a new future was just on the horizon and he wanted to see it.

Interface looked at Deathlock who appeared to have been mawled by a wild animal. Unfortunately he didn't have anything that could help with with those wounds. Luckily there were some who carried extra kits with various band aids, medication and tape for those who were injured. One of these individuals offered to help with his current injuries, but was unsure of how to approach it due to him being part machine. Interface did an initial scan on his organic vitals and reassured the individual that there was nothing serious beyond the superficial wounds. Perhaps some antiseptic and a few stitches.

"Well there are a few plasma guns laying around from the guards we took out so you are welcome to them." Interface offered.

Holding his head, the Thing says, "Whatta revoltin development. I can't believe Suesy and Stretch turn to vampires. Even the red head in the black outfit."

Increasing his flame from anger, the human Torch furiously yells, "MY SIS AND REED ARE GONE!"

Bee Boy walks to Captain America, while responding to the Human Torch, "If I got to do a Stinger Blast on Apocalypse guts, this will make bring much honor."

Walking away from the group of superheroes, Beast yells, "IM THROUGH, SCOTT! I'VE HAD IT!!"

Diffusing the situation, Cyclops says, "Whoa! Hank, we were successful. Pretty soon this nightmare will be over. Then we can clear your name right after we take down Apocalypse. I know the world hates us. Also that one of your creations is basically a virus. We will find the cure and stop them after we stop Apocalypse."

Walking back and getting in Cyclops face, Beast had a stern look, "I cannot tell you how to completely done I am risking my life for the humans."

Magma tries to calm the situation, "Hank..."

Beast continues, "The same damn humans that completely and totally hate us? All because of the new super soldier serum I created. Its basically mutated virus of my dna mixed with bat and wolf. Now that guy over there has been hurt-", He points to Deathlok, "He will turn to the same thing that we just got done fighting. I tell you, I'm done Scott!"

Keeping calm, Cyclops responds, "You're upset, I get it!"

A snarl came over Beast face, "Upset?? I'm more then upset, Scott. I'm done! Days like this--- I see why Magneto died for us. Even the Brotherhood. Maybe they are right. Homo sapiens just aren't worth it--"

Trying to sympathize, Cyclops says, "Oh hank, come on."

Beast proceeds to walk away, "I mean it."

shaking his head in disappointment, "You can't possibly mean what you're saying..."

On his way to level 1 of the Apocalypse Tower by the exit, Beast turns back to say to Cyclops, "I know exactly what I'm saying Scott."

Domino tries to remind Beast what bigger plan he is apart being, "But your training."

Beast then says, "I think--yes. I'm resigning from the X-Men. Wait... You in the red mask with the horns... Did you say you guys are making the Street Avengers? I'm in and willing to be in your team its either that team, or I leave."

Trying to bring peace. Thor says ." Ho! Sky lords of Indigog! A immortal of Asgard comes in peace!

Regaining his leader ship role, Captain America says, "We can figure out the what to do about all this stuff later. Apocalypse is dooming this world to destruction. We must not full victim. Stay focus everyone. We must protect mankind! On ward everyone!!!"

Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Bee Boy moved on to the 3rd and final level. They go through the corridor. There he sits in his throne. It is Apocalypse. He smiles for he knows death will come.

(Appocalypse stats:

Powers-Apocalypse's full extent of powers remain to be revealed, especially to the extent of which powers have since been augmented by alien technology. Apocalypse claims to have control of his body on the molecular level-- allowing him to shape change and elongate with virtually unlimited range, to increase density and allow his body to mimic metals and armors, to teleport, and to be virtually immune to the effects of age. Apocalypse can also increase his strength to levels surpassing that of the Hulk, grow to giant sizes, and gain the power of flight, sometimes through turning his arms into wings or jets. Apocalypse can also transform himself into a variety of human disguises.
He has exhibited energy absorbing and projecting abilities in the past. Apocalypse has been termed an "External," due to his mutant ability of immortality. Briefly, Apocalypse has shown potential to be a powerful psionic.

Hinderance- It has further been hinted that Apocalypse's body is ravaged by a techno-organic disease. Many of his regenerated bodies must use an exoskeleton body armor to prevent his energies from consuming him. Apocalypse can apparently merge/switch host bodies to continually revive his self-consuming body. Optic Blast attacks are lethal to Apocalypse.

Equpment- alien technology, specifically in regards to genetics and biochemistry. Apocalypse is a master of this equipment. The alien race is the Kree.









***HAVE FUN BEATING APOCALYPSE AND USE STRATEGY, ALL SKILLS, AND ALL POWERS. ILL LET YOU GUYS DECIDE WHO PLAYS CYCLOPS AND KILLS HIM. ^_^)

((whew, gruesome. Apocalypse is one merciless jerk. If no one takes Cyclops, I'll play him.))

Interface ran behind the others armed only with the blaster rifle that he had picked off one of the guards.

Hey SUE, any clue on how much longer I can power up again? We're probably going to need it when we take on big ol baddie soon.

I'm sorry. I'm trying to collect and allocate the expended energies when we faced Pestilence. The actual amount of energy I need to collect is unknown.

Great. Well, let's hope we'll have enough because this is probably the worst time to not have any form of defense or offense. And I don't think this pea shooter is going to do much.

Might I suggest you stay out of harms way?

Easier said than done since we are in the lion's den.

Are you implying that no matter where we go we will be in danger?

Yup, that about sums it up. See? You're learning.

Humerous.

Upon arriving inside Apocalypse chamber, the tyrant looked at them as if they were ants. Spewing forth words that ranged from ingrates to oblivion, he began to walk toward them intending to end this farce once and for all. The charge was lead by Daredevil followed by several other heroes. Interface lead the charge on the left and ordered them to try and flank Apocalypse. Due to his shielded body, Apocalypse hardly felt a thing, but mere annoyance. Interface continued to used whatever was available to him whether it was blasters, bombs, or cast off weapons.

To his horror, he saw Apocalypse take down both Daredevil and Silver Surfer.
"D!!" he cried just as Surfer was taken out. "Norrin!"
His eyes widened and was frozen in place as he watched two of his allies get taken out in one of the most brutal ways possible. "Take him down!" he shouted in anger.

Apocalypse merely laughed at their futile attempt as his arm elongated into into a long metal beam. Swinging it wide he swept the area of heroes like gnats. Heroes flew in all directions including Interface who flew into a computer console. Groggy, but ok, Interface spotted the console and tried to hack it turning the turrets and other defenses against Apocalypse.

Seeing this, Apocalypse's arm turned into a long pincer and grabbed him. "Foolish mortal. Do you believe that this pitiful army will stop me? That turning my own machines against me will harm me? Me? Apocalypse? The most powerful of all?" He then began to crush Interface.

Interface screamed in pain as he felt his bones begin to crack. "Argh!"

"I could crush you like an ant like your fellows." he said as he turned Interface to what remained of Daredevil and Silver Surfer. "I will end you and all who dare oppose me. For I....AM....APOCALYPSE!"

Suddenly a beam of energy shot Apocalypse arm forcing him to drop Interface. "Who dares?" he boomed. The beam came from Cyclops who shouted for the others to continue the fight. "Get up son. It's too dangerous to be laying here." he said.

"No, I can still fight." Interface replied.

"In your condition, you'll end up just like them." he said indicating the demise of Daredevil and Surfer. After saying so, Cyclops got up and continued on.

Interface slammed his fast into the ground. Here he was. Powerless and unable to fight. Two heroes had already given their lives to save the world. Crawling to the two, he tried to scan them, but could get nothing. He did not want to believe them dead, but that's what it read. He looked at his hands as they were now covered in Daredevil and surfer's blood. His hands trembled as this was perhaps the first time he had seen death up close. He clenched them in anger and frustration

Alfred there is nothing you can do.

There is ALWAYS something I can do.

Taking his fallen comrades by the arms, he tried to have them moved from the battle field. He could feel the blood from Daredevil's wound seep onto his shirt and the crackling from Surfer's own echoed in his ears despite the chaos around him. He laid them against the wall in a way that they looked like they were merely taking a rest. Returning to retrieve Surfer's head, he felt the cosmic powers flow from the surfer into himself just like last time. As if it were a last parting gift from him.

Alfred closed his eyes as he muttered his words, "Thank you, Norrin." he said as he laid the surfers head next to its body.

Alfred I don't know if I can process all this energy.

Do what you can SUE. It doesn't look like Apocalypse is going to wait around for it.

Just stay alive.

I intend to.

With that he went to the aid of those who were wounded and tried to keep out of the fray as much as possible. In his current state there wasn't much he could do. He hoped that whatever SUE was processing it would give them an edge. For now she needed time.

((I'll let you guys get your jabs in against Apocalypse before having Cyclops finishing him with his optic blast. Now is your chance to shine. Have at him. Might have one more for Interface though.))

With all the attacking going on. Bee Boy lounged forward at Apocalypse. He did a triple tag team with Domino and Multiple Man. The two X-Men begin to open fire using their clips on Apocalypse. Bee Boy did a Stinger Blast. The attack was from 3 directions. Magma joined the assault and sent an inferno of fire of Apocalypse. Human Torch aids with the fire attack with his fire energy blast.

It had no effect... Apocalypse chuckled, "Foolish mortals. You are not fit to live in this world I have created. You all will die!" Transforming his hands to giant hammers. He elongates his arms and hits the X-Men, Bee Boy, and the Human Torch. It was if the superheroes were flies. It was a repeated attack. It happen so quick.

Thing then rushes in and punches apocalypse in the Jaw. The hit broke Apocalypse jaw instantly by the force and power of the Thing.

Captain America throws his shield at Apocalypse but Apocalyspe began to grow in size and mass. He was bigger then Hulk and healed from Things punch. Apocalypse hay makers Thing and sends him flying like a fast ball backwards into the wall. The thing flew several feet before impact. Once the Thing hit the Wall, he was out cold turkery.

Captain America tells everyone, "We must slow him down for the final attack! Thor thunder strike him! Tony, shoot at him in the eyes soldier!"

In fast response, Thor sends a bunch of lighting to Apocalypse. Electricity covered the evil tyrant. It seemed like it did nothing as Apocalypse proceeded to move forward to the Heroes for the next attack. Stark aiming his gun at Apocalypse eye, shoots flawless. It did nothing though. It was as if a bug was in Apocalypse eye. The evil genocidal monarch just winked his eye and kept coming. Apocalypse transforms his hand to a spike malice. He then clubbed Thor. He would of got Captain America and Stark but those two falled back after seeing Thor go Down.

Captain America screams, "NO!!! I HAVENT SEEN NOTHING THIS BAD SINCE I FACED HITLER!"

Wolverine goes in rage and starts slashing at Apocalypse. Every slash was a heal for Apocalypse. Apocalyse face slapped Wolverine and sends him flying in the air that hits Tony Stark in the back. The impact causes Tony Stark without his Iron Man suit, a instant knock out!
