Comsopolis
Moonmaster waited until the crowds around the police station calmed down. It was about seven o'clock, and the sun was slowly setting in the background when he finally made his move. Sneaking along the edge of the alleyway, he leapt into the air. Halfway through his jump, he transformed, allowing more of his wolf to show, giving him more abilities, and higher strength. The roof was easily leapt on to, and Moonmaster snuck across the rooftop, spying on the two guards that were on lookout.
Crap, thought Moonmaster,
Neither of these people are acting like guards should…
Both guards were at attention, and vigilantly going about their guard duties. And too Moonmaster, they smelt wrong, not like regular humans, but not like people with powers as well, just simply different.
He didn't have time to wonder about it though; he quickly snuck up to one of them, came up behind him, and pulled him to the side. The Guard slammed into the roof with little noise, and it knocked him out. Moonmaster, tossing the body to side, snuck around to the second guard. Here he had to cross some distance before he fought the man, and knew he wasn't going to be able to sneak up on him like the last one. He waited for the man to look in the other direction, and then he charged, and by the time the man looked back at him, Moonmaster was in mid-leap. He landed on top of the guard, his increased weight from his transformation knocking the guard out on impact. Moonmaster gently lowered him to the rooftop, and looked for a handy vent to use to sneak inside. He pried open a vent, and climbed inside of it, shuffling off into the police station.
On the street below, two individuals were in the middle of a conversation.
Baxter: The sun almost has set UltimateDJF, let's stop here for ice cream
UltimateDJF: UltimateDJF wants Road Rocky!
Baxter: Its Rocky road you know
UltimateDJF: ROAD ROCKY!
Baxter: Fine, let's go order some Road Rocky for you, and see where that gets us.
UltimateDJF: Happy, with ice cream in our stomach.
Ultimate Houde and Skotti are in danger of being transported to the Red Star. Moonmaster, failing to get an interview with the captured member, the Watcher, gets ready to sneak into the police station to rescue him. Rene and Ultimate Bigby work on the transporter to try to save both Watcher and Ultimate Houde, but will they be able too? And how will Widdle_Wade and Ultimate Quicksilver deal with their new roles as leaders of a small country?

Volume 7, Issue 54, By Ultimate Houde
Doc Comic's Mansion
The two Centralites labored over Doc Computer's insides, rewiring, hacking, rewriting codecs, slowly getting the machine to be able to transport them, but it wasn't happening fast enough.
Ultimate Bigby: We need to use this thing
Rene: It's untested…
Ultimate Bigby: And I realize our molecules may be strewn all over the place, but we need to get going.
Rene: Fine, I'll go to Pholus to rescue Houde, you go to Comsopolis to get Watcher.
Ultimate Bigby: Right, let's do this.
Grabbing a beacon, each of them hit their coordinates on the computer, and pressed the transport button.
They disappeared.
Once the disappeared, Doc Computer reactivated.
Doc Computer: I know you are there, identitfy yourself.
A shadow figure walked up to the computer, and sat down at the chair. His face, hidden in shadow, regarded the screens, and touched the keyboard.
Doc Computer: Taking security measure…..
The shadowy figure moved his lips, no sound came out.
Doc Computer: ID confirmed, voice analysis complete, welcome to Doc Computer.
Shadow Figure: Time to see the world, through your eyes I think.
The monitors showed various things, flipping through them quickly and efficiently.
Shadow Figure: Hmm, I wonder if Rene and Ultimate Bigby knew that they basically made me an outlet for my powers. I should thank them the next time I see them.
Pholus
General: Stop pretending your asleep girl, we are here to speak with you.
Skotti opened her eyes to regard the General.
Skotti: I was enjoying a peaceful time for sleep and reflection, there's no reason to yell.
Skotti heard Ultimate Scarlet Witch laugh. She turned and regarded her.
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: Hello Skotti, I'm Ultimate Scarlet..
Skotti: Let me guess, Skank? Nice fishnets by the way, where did you get them, in the 80's along with the rest of your wardrobe?
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: I talked to your boyfriend yesterday
Skotti: And?
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: Interesting…General leave us.
General: I don't think you should talk to her alone.
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: General, please, if I recall I saved your life yesterday, if Ultimate Houde had one more second on you, I think he probably would have snapped your neck.
General stared at her, and Skotti grinned.
Skotti: We are just going to talk about girl stuff, like the new stores at the mall, and the latest fashions.
He scowled, and walked out, locking the door behind him. Skotti turned back at Ultimate Scarlet Witch.
Skotti: Good, he's gone, and I'm sure as hell I could take you out quickly…
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: I doubt that, your boyfriend wasn't able too, and he's been at this much longer than you darling.
Skotti: What did you do to him?
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: I can see it in your eyes, you love him, don't you…
Skotti: Of course I do.
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: He doesn't refer to you in that way, hell, he makes sure people know you two are just friends.
Skotti: He's complicated.
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: Aren't they all?
Sounds erupted from the hallway, screams, shouts, other sounds of pursuit.
Skotti: What's going on?
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: His name was DIrishB. We were never really on the same team, never really saw eye to eye, but we had something…special between us. I see that in you two.
Skotti: What are you talking about?
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: I'm a manipulator, in my powers, and it's basically who I am. But, whenever I was with DIrishB, I never manipulated him though I could have. I let him choose, and he always chose his friends.
Skotti: You were in love?
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: Yes, I've already said that.
The screaming outside the door stopped, and the door handle moved. The General staggered in, and then, fell down.
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: Hello Bigby.
Ultimate Bigby walked in and looked around.
Ultimate Bigby: What the hell? Rene was supposed to be here.
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: I guess your teleporter doesn't work as well as you thought.
Ultimate Bigby: What do you want Witch? And how do you know about the teleporter?
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: Nothing from you.
She turned to Skotti.
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: Love is needed in this world you know, love and hope.
The bracelet inhibiting Skotti's powers falls off her wrist. Just then, Ultimate Houde bursts through the door, holding his two swords, and also, didn't have a bracelet on his wrist.
Ultimate Houde: Skotti? You okay? Bigby, what are you doing here? What the hell is going on? My swords just sort of appeared out of nowhere, and the bracelet fell off…
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: Obviously the General wasn't too smart about holding you guys hostage, was he? Well….no matter now. It's not my fault if he is a complete ***, now is it?
She smiled, and then, disappeared on the spot in a flash of smoke and light.
Ultimate Houde's swung one of his sword wrapped in fire, and sliced cleanly through the bars of Skotti's cell. She stepped through and he gave her a quick hug.
Ultimate Houde: Bigby, what's going on?
Ultimate Bigby: I think we have friends in high places Houde. We need to get to Comsopolis, but I'm afraid to use the damn teleporter, I think it only worked because of luck last time….
Ultimate Houde: One trip to Cosmopolis, coming up.
Ultimate Houde swung his swords, opening a portal. Ultimate Bigby gave him a look.
Ultimate Bigby: Is that Marvelman's sword?
Ultimate Houde: Long story, save it for later. Skotti this is Bigby, he's a friend.
Skotti: Pleasure to meet you, but let's save those for later, shall we?
Ultimate Houde: Agreed, let's get hopping.
They jumped through the portal.
Cosmopolis
Moonmaster felt funny, like something was wrong, something was interfering with his senses. Shaking it off as nerves, he opened the vent, and dropped into the hallway. Landing quietly, he snuck to the outer cell door and listened for guards, not hearing any he tried to smell, and also nothing came up.
Weird, it's as if no one is here, not even Watcher….
Moonmaster opened the door, and stepped into the cells. Sure enough he saw Watcher, but he looked different somehow, like he was changed. But when Moonmaster sniffed, he still smelled nothing. Growling, he spoke.
Moonmaster: Watcher, is that you?
The person in the cells looked at him, and smiled. He was small, a tiny person who looked like he had no muscles. A visor was over his eyes, which glinted the light in an odd strange way.
Person: Hello Moonmaster.
Moonmaster: You're not Watcher…are you?
Person: Oh no, I'm a trap you see. I'm what the Watcher was in 616 Central. I can affect your perceptions on the world are. I control what you see, I control what you hear, I control what you feel, I control what you taste, and I control what you smell Moonmaster. I do not Watch the world go by, I am the Controller, AND I CONTROL THE PEOPLE IN IT!
Standing up, the cell doors of the cell he was in blew open.
Moonmaster: Great, E has more flunkies I don't know about. How many of these guys does he have!
Moonmaster rushed in, but the floor felt weird, as if he was running on foam, the texture was off, his equilibrium screwed up, and Moonmaster feel down, straight into the oncoming fist of the Controller. He flew backwards, and into the opposing wall.
Moonmaster: A bit strong are you?
Controller: Yes, you could say that.
Rushing forward the Controller slammed more fists into Moonmaster, the wall buckled, and Moonmaster went through it, knocking him outside into the street. The Controller stepped through the hole.
Controller: I control your senses Moonmaster, I control what you feel. I could be hitting you as light as a feather, and you feel like it's a ten ton weight slamming into you.
Moonmaster coughed up some blood, and smiled wickedly.
Moonmaster: Well, lets see how well I work without them then, shall I?
Standing up, he got ready to pounce, when the world went dark.
Controller: You can't see me, can you Moonmaster? I can see you though.
Another punch sent Moonmaster sailing, and through the plate glass window of the ice cream shop across the street.
UltimateDJF: I WANT ROAD…what, who dared interrupt UltimateDJF's rant?
Baxter and UltimateDJF were ordering ice cream, but that was interrupted when Moonmaster went through the window. Baxter rushed over to him.
Baxter: Moonmaster, you okay? What's going on?
Moonmaster: That guy packs a punch, he just sent me through a wall, across the street, and through this window. But landing on this Road Rocky felt nice.
UltimateDJF: See, Moonmaster liked Road Rocky too!
Moonmaster: I think I need to take a nap now..
And the werewolf superhero blacked out. Baxter looked through the window at the oncoming figure of the Controller.
Baxter: Well, I don't think he's a good guy. UltimateDJF, we have company.
UltimateDJF: Does he threaten my Road Rocky?
Baxter: No, he threatens your friends.
UltimateDJF gave him a stern look.
UltimateDJF: No one threatens UltimateDJF's FRIENDS! ULTIMATE DJF SMASH!
He jumped out the store window, and ran towards the Controller. Baxter followed, growing with each step.
Controller: Well, here's a surprise, the big green idiot, and the stupid giant who followed the Emperor like a little puppy. Have you two come to show your allegiance?
UltimateDJF answered for them, closing the distance quicker than expected and swinging his fist. It connected with Controller's head, but he hardly moved. UltimateDJF threw several more punches, but hardly caused anything to happen.
Controller: I hardly felt those.
He raised his hand and punched UltimateDJF in the chest, causing the green behemoth to move back several feet. Controller followed this up by jumping towards UltimateDJF, who was holding his chest and moaning. But before Controller could deliver his jump kick, he was caught in midair by Baxter.
Baxter: Time to put on the squeeze.
South America
Widdle_Wade and Ultimate Quicksilver both were sitting in the castle, staring at the countryside, all dramatic like. This tension that existed in the air would be dispelled shortly though, but that's in a few moments.
Ultimate Quicksilver: So, when we leaving?
Widdle_Wade: It feels nice, doesn't it? I mean, we've been on the run for the past two months, making our way across the globe, and we finally found one place we can hide.
Ultimate Quicksilver: We did? You forgot, there are two vengeful people out there with powers of their own, and they most likely, will do something stupid like go the Emperor, and telling him all about us. And we two can't fight a war against him, we'll get 'banned' in a minute, and you know it.
Widdle_Wade: What if we found more individuals?
Ultimate Quicksilver: Won't work, we tried that, with everyone we had before, and failed miserably. We are better off being on our own Widdle_Wade. Maybe if we find Dr.Strangefate…
Widdle_Wade: That psycho? I don't think so.
Ultimate Quicksilver: Did you forget, that psycho has saved the world before, and he plans to do it again. He's probably waiting for us to find him again.
Widdle_Wade: Where have you been going some nights? Don't think I don't see you leave for a few.
Ultimate Quicksilver: Now's not the time…
Then, a sound of a fart interrupted them.
Widdle_Wade: Never heard you fart before.
Ultimate Quicksilver: Usually my farts are so fast they break the speed of sound…I thought that one was you…
Voice: Excuse me..I did have beans recently
Ultimate Quicksilver and Widde_Wade looked over to find Iceshadow standing against a wall, flanking him on either side was Shadowprime and Blacksword.
Iceshadow: Meet the two newest E-men.
Shadowprime: And all we had to do was exchange your freedoms for our right to be on E's exclusive team.
Ultimate Quicksilver's eyes burned with hatred when he looked at Iceshadow.
Ultimate Quicksilver: YOU TRAITOR!
He went to move, but instead, found himself stuck to the floor. Looking down he saw Shadowprime's shadow on his own. Widdle_Wade was in the same predictament.
Iceshadow: Not happy to see me? It's so sad…
He extended his hand, and froze the two Centralites in pillars of ice. Shadowprime brought his shadow back to himself.
Shadowprime: Well, that was easy…
Iceshadow: YOU FOOL! Keep the shadow on them!
But it was too late, once the shadow retracted, Ultimate Quicksilver could move again, and vibrating at high frequency, he caused the ice around him to splinter, then shatter, sending shards going everywhere. He then repeated this process, freeing Widdle_Wade.
Ultimate Quicksilver: I'll get you another time Iceshadow.
He then bolted, with Widdle_Wade, out an open door.
Cosmopolis
Baxter was perplexed, he knew someone was between his fingers, but he had no idea why he wasn't feeling them. He still kept the pressure on though, and failed to notice the slim body of the Controller slip through his closed hands, and crashed down on his foot, making himself feel like he weighed ten tons. Baxter's foot registered the pain, and he screamed. Baxter started to jump up and down on one foot, screaming in pain.
Controller: You killed Clan Baxter didn't you? The Emperor was mad about that one.
He went to punch Baxter in the foot once more, but was intercepted by Moonmaster, who tackled him at high speeds. The two of them careened across the pavement, Controller on the bottom, Moonmaster on the top. Moonmaster banged Controller's head off the pavement a few times. Each time it hit, Moonmaster heard a satisfying sound.
Controller: Why does Doggie fight me?
Moonmaster: What?
Controller: Why do you hit UltimateDJF? I help you.
Monnmaster: Oh crap, I'm sorry man, Controller must be screwing with my eyes…
Controller: Actually, he's screwing with your ears.
Controller sucker punched Moonmaster, sending him backwards into the air, and roughly hitting the ground.
Controller: Even with the unexpected assistance Moonmaster, you are doomed, you were the moment you saw the news report, I control your destiny.
He held up Moonmaster by the throat, squeezing ever so slightly.
Controller: And now you die.
Moonmaster struggled for breath, but he felt like there was a huge pressure on his chest, making it harder and harder to breath.
Baxter: Don't count us down yet.
Controller turned to look at UltimateDJF and Baxter, as they both got closer to help out Moonmaster.
Controller: Amusing gnats.
He cut off all their senses to both of the powerhouses. Both men collapsed, as they could no longer see, hear, taste, or feel the Earth anymore.
Controller: And now Moonmaster, let's get back to your death, shall we?
As the Controller held him up in the air in one hand again, he got a surprise. A pink energy spear went through his arm, severing it, cutting it off the elbow. The Controller screamed in response, having felt pain he had no control over for the first time in his life. Suddenly Moonmaster could breath again, UltimateDJF and Baxter could see, hear, taste and feel once more, and the world came into focus. The Controller screamed in pain, unable to concentrate anymore. Moonmaster, his wolf form taking over, went to town on Controller, slashing him, clawing him, biting him, and the Controller fell to the onslaught. Breathing heavy, Moonmaster relinquished his assault.
Ultimate Bigby: You're welcome.
Moonmaster: Thanks.
He turned his head to see Ultimate Bigby, Ultimate Houde, and Skotti standing there. Baxter and UltimateDJF came up behind Moonmaster, and stood near him.
Ultimate Bigby: I suggest we leave here shortly.
Moonmaster: This is my home, I'll never leave.
Ultimate Bigby: And you just trashed it's police station, and most of the downtown area of it. The locals, in their current frame of mind, won't like that.
Baxter: He does have a point, you should look at it.
Moonmaster gazed at the devastation that he had caused fighting Controller. Buildings were in ruins, the street was destroyed, and the police station was nothing more than three walls.
And one of them collapsed.
Moonmaster: You have a place to go too?
Ultimate Houde cut a hole in reality, and the gates of Doc Comic's Mansion were there.
The panda-shark in a hazmat suit tried to ineffectively get a piece of bamboo into it's mouth on the grounds.
Ultimate Bigby: It takes some getting use to. Listen, you don't have to stay, just listen to what we have to say about things. Baxte,r UltimateDJF, you're allowed to come too.
Baxter: Oh well, I feel like trying to get this hero thing right for once.
UltimateDJF: DOGGY!
He ran through the portal to hug the panda-shark.
Moonmaster: Alright, I'll hear what you have to say.
And they went through the portal, leaving the Controller to bleed to death. Ultimate Scarlet Witch appeared next him in a flash.
Ultimate Scarlet Witch: You six one sixer's are really nothing to brag about, you know that?
She disappeared with him.
Somewhere in the Midwest
Iceman and Hawkeye101, following the conveniently placed signs, the fixed bridges, the disarmed traps, arrived to their destination.
A shining gold gauntlet was there, covered in encrusted sapphires, and looking quite extravagant. Iceman ran over to the platform, and picked it up, putting it on.
Iceman: It fits me perfectly.
Hawkeye101, while not the sharpest knife in the drawer, knew something was up.
Hawkeye101: Up, this is all odd, the signs, the map mailed to you, and now the gauntlet fitting perfectly…
Iceman: The Gauntlet. Of Awesomeness!
Hawkeye101: Something about this is all strange.
Iceman: Hey…something just slipped onto my wrist…
Taking off the gauntlet, Iceman looked at the bracelet that slipped onto his wrist. It was non-descript, a grayish color and uncomfortably tight..
Iceman: Not my bag, but hey, maybe you need it to control the gauntlet. Let's get going Hawkeye101.
They left, following the way they came in, and when they exited, Hawkeye101 finally figured out what was going on.
An army of trolls was waiting for them.
Hawkeye101: Oh crap….
Iceman: No worries Hawkeye101, I can take them all with my GAUNTLET OF AWESOMENESS!
