The only "plans" I had as far as the Gates of Hell goes is that I wrote that Griffin went off in search of the Gates of Hell place in his phantom form to tell Montag where exactly they were. That surveillance job was about it. If someone wants to fit that in the story somewhere, go for it.

Points to whoever recognizes the theme song I had Luchadore singing...(Except for Grimm and the Doctor, as they already know) :)

That was one of my favourite shows as a kid in the early '80s, though I've never seen it since then. I'm guessing you must have seen in it reruns, Cap? You're too young to have seen it new, right?
Warner Bros. tried to sue the producers of that show for copyright infringement at the time, claiming it was derivative of Superman. The case was, of course, determined to be without merit and thrown out by the judge.

OK, I've written what has probably been my LAST post in the Antarctica plot, unless I think of something interesting to do that will fit before the story ends. Apologies for the hastily-written post and the poor introduction of "Trinity" -- I just thought she (they?) should show up at least briefly since I made a big deal about Myrddin promising their (her) help in an earlier post. They don't have to show up again in this story, though. I'll probably use them (her?) again in another story down the road as Myrddin's current main agent (since Crasher and Ameristar are unavailable, I mean), but they're really supposed to be minor characters, so they shouldn't hog too much of the spotlight, anyway. I also haven't defined their abilities, either, or specified whether they're metahumans or merely ordinary humans with advanced tech 'cause I haven't decided yet. Best to just not mention them again in this story, I guess.
Now I just have to finish writing the La Perdita post I began and left unfinished (don't delete it, please!) -- it has to take place at about this time and before the team gets back to the island as it depends on their absence. You'll see why when I write it.

BTW, Mxy -- you had bigger plans for Mr. Smith, didn't you? Considering the title of this story, I'd like to see Mr. Smith take a big role in the resolution with Naecken to go with the whole "revenge" thing. I hope Mr. Smith factors into the plans you folks have who are going to be ending this thing. I'll just sit back and read. Good use of Drag Racer, Grimm. Very funny. Doc -- good to see Ouch-Man (LOL!) and Download again, though it took me a while to remember which story I'd seen them in. CJ: If only I could read more of your posts. They're short but very good. Pro: Good use of dramatic timing! Sorry about messing up that dramatic timing up with my "follow-up" posts... heh... ![[um.... uh huh! ... ]](graemlins/umuhhuh001.gif) ![[who, me?]](graemlins/whome01.gif) Oh well... the sooner this story gets done, the better, I guess.

I'm assuming that with Amuck's presence in the story, they're either already there or fast approaching...
Grimm showed the disks from the Nibiru approaching the aircrafts of Vanguard and EPS and going on the same route, so I guess they are on the battlefield right now. I will make a post about them soon. On the other hand, Amuck was captured by Vanguard, so I think his presence is due to Grimm (the character).
In any case, as Merlin stated to Saros in their talk, his main goal, right now, is to convince the Vanguard heroes to join the Strikeforce, so don't expect the Strikeforce to double cross the Vanguardians.
They will play nice and at the side of the coalitions... this time. ![[mwah hwah haa]](graemlins/devil.gif)
Pro, I miss Raptor too, but I feel it's better not to have him arriving now, more so knowing what a few of you are going to do ![[wink]](images/icons/wink.gif)
Raptor will be back with the Christtmas story, and will remain with Vanguard for the foreseeable future.

Nah. I just had the theme song downloaded (as I heard it a few years back and absolutely loved it!) and that's how he knows it. It's a pretty friggin' sweet song (though Pro didn't get all the words right... ).

A good, and logical, guess, but no. Check my most recent post.

Ah, but you have to ask yourself, "Would the Luchadore have gotten all the words right?" I think not.

As I see the story progressing toward the end, while the battle with the T5 robots was still going at the "one at a time" pace, I come out with my last post.
The sense of iut was: getting rid of the robots. Thpro numbered them in 250,000 there would have been no way ot taking them down ALL that way.
I tried to show how Walker didn't care of the going of the battle, until he was satisfied with his gathering of information, plus I wanted to show how cool and powerful Turner is (as we witnessed in a very cool moment in the last story). Obvioulsy I wanted to show also how the EPS is effective, compared to the assorted variety of our assembled army.
But, I would like to have Vanguard, not the EPS, to take down the T5 "mother" robot. I guess that Adem could be good at it, with his ability to "talk" with tech, but he is still fighting that Utu, right?
In any case, there are still foot soldiers on the ground, with any kind of weapons you want, if there is needs for opponents for the B and C guys, or any other subteam.

Couple of questions, where did the foot soldiers come from? and how did Turner heal from his injuries so quickly?

I'm just guessing here, but the foot soldiers could have been some of the mind-controlled people that Naecken had enslaved. Some were scientists, but maybe an army detachment was there as well. Maybe.

TTT is right, I stated that in a previuous page of the talk thread. They were personnell, scientific and military, from vairous scientific bases. In fact, they are brainwashed slaves of Nae. It would be cool to free them, not slaughter, but, it's a war... ![[sad]](images/icons/frown.gif)

What injuries for Turner? The ones endured in the last story? Truner has a healing factor that was shown in the story itself.

Ok, I was just curious. Is there a way for the "meta coalition" to discover this and free them? Or are they necessary casualties?

Grimm, your story post made me laugh. I agree with Euro, it's nice to see some humor back in the stories amidst all the gloom. Back in the old MBL there was a bit TOO much humor and not enough gloom, whereas the current universe was too much gloom and not enough humor, but I think more recently it's balancing out nicely.

Turner don't got no "healing" factor. Wolverine is hairy yo. T can heal from "deeper" wounds due to his speeded up system and the fact that he controls and manifests energy/electricity of all types.
As for him healing within the last issue, Glitch had control over his body and was able to reach untaped portions of Turner's abilities.
All and all, Turner is one tough fucker but he doesn't have a wolvie healing factor and HE can be defeated in battle (in fact, I would love to see Turk kick his ass, Pro? How about it? :-p).

Glad it worked for ya. Yeah, balance is hard to achieve. I think we're getting there, though.

This is why TOMB kicked so much ass. You had people doing a lot of hardcore serious stuff, and then you had people like Llance and Joker1 just having fun and making it possible to laugh while reading. Made for a nice combo (which, in retrospect, I think is why everyone wanted to join TOMB after a while...).

Holy Christ! This T5 thing is gonna take me longer than I originally though. Just kept coming up with stuff to write. I don't want too much out there at once, so I'll probably come back and end it after lunch.
