Back at who-knows-where (I forgot and don't feel like looking it up right now) with the CSF...
Moriarty grabbing the die from the ground- Perfect! Now when the boy transforms back he'll be powerless.
Spring-Heeled Jack- Okay boss, I've got Grendel
Moriarty- Good. Let him loose.
Scaramanga- You're kidding?!?! He'll tear that boy to shreds. I thought you wanted him alive?
Moriarty- At this point I really don't care! We'll follow from behind .
Jack holds the die up to Grendels nose to get the scent- Fetch boy! Heheheheh...
Now the other CSF...
Sunlight- Damnit! Where did the JLR go? Your monkeys had them cornered Hook.
Hook- It looks as though they teleported away...
Sunlight- None of them have that power! Aghh it must be one of their newer members.
Hook- Here, I've got that old witches snowglobe too!
Sunlight- You mean her
crystal ball?
Hook- Yeah, that too...
He pulls it out and looks into it.
Hook- Now see, here they are not even a mile away.
Sunlight- Hook?
Hook- Yes?
Sunlight- You're telling me that you've had this ball this entire time and you're just now telling us.
Hook- Yes...
*SMACK*
Sunlight bats a hand across hooks head.
Sunlight- Now lets see what that fool Moriarty is up to.
Inside the crystal ball the image of the CSF climbing into a giant hole comes into view.
Sunlight- Come, Hook, Callisto. It's time we met up with our adversaries.
Callisto- Shouldn't we wait for Terminatrix?
Sunlight- No, I've sent it to track down that boys home. It should infiltrare and be able to capture him. I won't let Moriarty be the one to capture him.
Hook- Why is that boy so important to you?
Sunlight- You'll find out soon enough Hook. All in good time. Now let's go!
Back with the JLR
JLR- .......
Ace- Well what is it Brit?
Brit- Wait for the dramatic pause. Haven't you ever heard of a little thing called showmanship?
Anyways, my new plan is........
....
....
....
(JLR-
)
... TO MERGE OUR TWO PLANS!
SMM- My God Brittanica, that plan is so crazy that it just might-
Brit- yes...
SMM- -get us all killed!
Brit- Huh?
JLR- Yeah, huh?
SMM- Plan's aren't meant to be merged together!
Brit- No, it can work! We'll just have to think it through and work together.
Hybrid!
Hybrid- Here, chief!
Brit- How were those tunnels coming along?
Hybrid- All done. The Umber-Hulk got a little close a couple of times and I sorta had to weave a maze with the tunnels to avoid him but they reach all the way out to the town.
Brit- Alright. We have to hurry then. I'm sure if the Umber-Hulk can tunnel himself in a hole he can tunnel himself out.
SMM- Oh! Right... tunneling
out....
Brit- And if he escapes the tunnels we may lose him. Or he can pick up our scent and come hunt us down. Plus those monkeys can't be far behind.
Fused- So what do we do?
RM552- We'll have to go into the tunnel. We can't risk any civilians getting hurt by drawing the Hulk up here.
SMM- Good thinking old chum!
The JLR jump into the tunnel and begin to follow the path at the same moment the CSF climb in with Grendel. Meanwhile the minutes tick away on the Hulks time left in Centurians place.
MS2.0- You know guys, I think theres something I've been meaning to tell you about all of my powers. How I and only I can do all of these amazing things. I've held it in for so long but ...*sigh* here goes-
*POP*
-and that's how everything I do is possible.
Wednesday-
What? What did you say Midnight? WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!
Midnight- oh nevermind, it probably wasn't that important.
Wednesday-
The three teams continue traveling through their tunnels to the merge of all the tunnels. Inside is a huge dark cavern.
RM552- Hey Spandex how about a light?
SMM- Alright and what would you like? There's a guy in the Albuquerque circus that can glow in the dark. Or a meta-human in DC that can turn into fire. Or there's this mutant in-
RM552- Anything! I don't care.
SMM- Alright "glow in the dark man" it is!
Suddenly his skin starts to shine eriely in the dark cave. The team huddeled together looks further into it's depths.
Ace- Hey, shhhhh, listen. What is that?
TTT- What?
Ace- Shh!
Wed- Yeah, yeah I think I hear it too.
Coming from behind them is a low pitched growl. The team turn back to the entrance to the cavern they've just come from. Sneaking behind them the Umber-Hulk has blocked their path.
JLR-
They turn around to run away and see the CSF coming through another path. With a turn they start to run when they see the new team blocks one of the last tunnels for escape. Smaller tunnels are connected throughout the cave only leading deeper into the mazes.
RM552- Oh, now who the hell are those new guys?
CSF- Yes! Who the hell are they?
Brit- Oh man this doesn't look good...
Ace- Well, it's been a while since I've used these but-
Ace reaches into his utility belt and pulls out some brass knuckles with card symbols on them.
CLANG
He punches his fist together.
- looks like we might be desperate.
