Mission 1[]
Mission Start[]
Tony Stark:
|
R.A.I.D. is stirring things up over near USS Intrepid, Agent. Could have something to do with the Sentinel lab. |
Nick Fury:
|
Not sure how this plays into the Syndicate's plan, but we need to assume that everything leads to the Syndicate. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Okay, but what does that mean if we don't know who the Syndicate is? |
Maria Hill:
|
It means that we've got a shadowy opponent with practically unlimited resources and no ethics. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Just another day in the life of S.H.I.E.L.D., then. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Make it the last day R.A.I.D. is tearing up this city, Agent. |

Screen Text[]
Professor X has recalled Wolverine to run a time-critical mission for the X-Men. Release him so he can get it done. We've got to stay on Xavier's good side.
Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Logan, Xavier's requested that we pull you out of the field to do something for him. |
Wolverine:
|
When the Professor calls... |
| Maria Hill:
|
Understood. Share what you can when you come back. |
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
What was the big secret, Logan? |
| Wolverine:
|
Contact with the Brotherhood. Xavier's doing a little back-channel diplomacy. |
| Tony Stark:
|
With Magneto? I don't see it working. |
| Wolverine:
|
We'll find out. |
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
A R.A.I.D. team left this location unguarded. S.H.I.E.L.D. tech-ops suggests that something here might give us a clue about the cyber-sabotage we're fighting. Iron Man is the guy to figure it out.
Deploy 3[]
Screen Text[]
We can't get onto the Intrepid until we clear out this R.A.I.D. position. It's going to take serious weaponry. An assault team is en route; add in some fire support.
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
Reed Richards has a lead on the cybernetic disruptions. He can't leave the Baxter Building, but if we can pick up the files, we'll get a head start in the Stark labs.
Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Reed's in the middle of a delicate experiment. He can't retrieve this data. Get it to him so it's waiting when he's ready. |
Complete[]
Mr. Fantastic:
|
Every new data point helps zero in on the identity of the threat. Bit by bit, if you'll forgive the joke.
I'll get back to you if this leads to any breakthroughs. |
Deploy 5[]
Screen Text[]
We're still working sources in Chinatown for information about the Mandarin and the Ten Rings. One of our informants thinks he's hit paydirt. Interview him and see if it's a real lead.
MiniBoss - X-Ray[]
Reveal[]
Colossus:
|
Tony, I have been checking in on this area since the Sentinels emerged.
This time through, I had a brief skirmish with X-Ray. He is ordering the R.A.I.D. mission, or at least that's how it seems. |
| Maria Hill:
|
He won't be alone, Piotr. Agent, rendezvous with Colossus and provide support against X-Ray. |
| Tony Stark:
|
We should wait until we know where the rest of the U-Foes are. This smells like an ambush to me. |
| Colossus:
|
We are giving X-Ray time to dig in, Tony. |
| Tony Stark:
|
That's true. Okay, go in. |
Start[]
| Colossus. What's the mutant interest here? Aren't you guys ready to set up your own nation or something? | X-Ray:
|
| Colossus:
|
You have us confused with the Brotherhood. They do not represent us. |
| My mistake. Magneto thinks differently.
Once I've disposed of you, I'll tell him there was dissent in the mutant ranks until I took care of it. |
X-Ray:
|
Lose[]
| Where are you going? I thought mutants loved radiation! | X-Ray:
|
Repeat[]
| Colossus:
|
Take care of that dissent in the ranks yet? |
| Thanks for the reminder. Now's a perfect time to tie up loose ends. | X-Ray:
|
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Radiation readings from your location are dying down. Colossus, I take that to mean you've subdued X-Ray? |
| Colossus:
|
Correct. Moving on to find the other U-Foes. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Proceed. Agent, while Colossus is tracking them down, you need to clear out the rest of the R.A.I.D. positions. |
Boss - Ironclad[]
Reveal[]
| Colossus:
|
Ironclad is on the Intrepid itself. I am prepared whenever you are, Agent. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Hold up there. Don't dive in until you're sure the rest of the U-Foes aren't going to ambush you. |
| Colossus:
|
How can one be sure of this? X-Ray is out, but Vector and Vapor could be anywhere.
While we wait, R.A.I.D. is harvesting technology that they will use to try to kill us. |
| Nick Fury:
|
You having trouble understanding how the chain of command works, Colossus? |
| Colossus:
|
Not at all, but you're up there and I am here on the ground. |
Start[]
| Steel meets steel. I'm going to enjoy this. | Ironclad:
|
| Colossus:
|
Perhaps not quite as much as you think. |
Lose[]
| Oh, I was right. That was a real pleasure. | Ironclad:
|
Repeat[]
| Double or nothing? | Ironclad:
|
| Colossus:
|
I believe that is called a sucker bet. Perfect for you. |
Complete[]
| Colossus:
|
This area is secured. Ironclad is down. |
| Tony Stark:
|
No sign of Vector or Vapor? |
| Colossus:
|
None. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Hm. I don't like it. |
| Maria Hill:
|
They're around somewhere. Keep an eye out, Agent. |
Mission Complete[]
| Maria Hill:
|
We've scoured the area of R.A.I.D. activity and come up with nothing. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Either the whole operation was a feint, or they got what they came for and split before we came along. |
| Nick Fury:
|
I'm guessing it was some kind of errand for Doom. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Could be, but Loki was running a R.A.I.D. operation not too long ago. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Do we think Loki is in the Syndicate? Not his style, really. |
| Tony Stark:
|
I move we table this discussion until we actually know what we're talking about. Strange things are afoot across town... |
Mission 2[]
Mission Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Black Widow has been keeping an eye on the Maggia for us. She's spotted them working with Hand ninjas in Yorkville. |
| Tony Stark:
|
That combination says occult to me. Agreed? |
| Maria Hill:
|
Absolutely. Agent, the Widow will meet you when you're on the ground. |
Deploy 1[]
Screen Text[]
Maggia couriers are coming and going from this location. See if you can get an infiltrator inside and find out what they're up to.
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
The Hand and the Maggia have set up an encrypted transmitter here. It's S.H.I.E.L.D.ed and guarded by an elite combined force, but War Machine can take them out.
Deploy 3[]
Screen Text[]
The Maggia are running a diversion by taking students hostage at this grad housing complex. Get a scrapper inside and take care of it so we can get on with the mission.
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
During World War II, this neighborhood was the home of the Bund, a pro-Nazi group. We've spotted HYDRA agents looking around for something from that era. Track them and take them down when they find it.
Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
HYDRA looks more and more like they're going back to their Nazi roots.
But what do they want with relics from the German-American Bund? |
| Tony Stark:
|
Intercept or shadow? |
| Nick Fury:
|
Shadow for now. |
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
They didn't find it. |
| Maria Hill:
|
That's a little good news. Mark the locations where they looked. We'll take our own teams in there and see what we can learn. |
Deploy 5[]
Screen Text[]
It's looking like the Maggia are trying to set up a Hand-style ritual to create supernatural soldiers. Nip this in the bud before we have undead mafiosi running amok.
Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
The Maggia are starting a magical ritual. Looks like they're serious.
Also looks like they're definitely sharing knowledge with the Hand. |
| Nick Fury:
|
That puts both of them together with HYDRA. Cut this ceremony off.
I don't trust the Maggia to do it right. Last thing we need is more unintended magical consequences. |
Complete[]
| Nick Fury:
|
It's shut down. Good. Recover any apparatus and get it to Strange so he can figure out what they're trying to do. |
MiniBoss - Hammerhead[]
Reveal[]
Black Widow:
|
I have observed Hammerhead here. I still don't know who's in charge of the Hand side of the operation. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Do we know what the operation is? |
| Black Widow:
|
That intelligence is still being gathered. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Spoken like a true bureaucrat, Widow. You're wasted as an assassin. |
Start[]
| This is the new Maggia, Widow. You're in way over your head. | Hammerhead:
|
| Black Widow:
|
Get some ninjas on the payroll and it goes to your head. You're so predictable, Hammerhead. |
| Predictable, huh? You see what we're about to do, you're gonna be real surprised. It's gonna be a hell of a show.
If you live that long. |
Hammerhead:
|
| Black Widow:
|
I've seen magic before. |
| Not like this you haven't. | Hammerhead:
|
Lose[]
| Stick around! The show's just getting started! | Hammerhead:
|
Repeat[]
| Black Widow:
|
When are you going to get sick of being the opening act? |
| What are you talking about? This is my Maggia. I run this show! | Hammerhead:
|
| Black Widow:
|
Does Madame Masque know that? |
| She will. | Hammerhead:
|
Complete[]
| Black Widow:
|
Hammerhead is no longer a concern. Where is this magic? |
| Maria Hill:
|
We're still pinning it down. Meantime there are plenty of ninjas and Maggia grunts to deal with. |
Boss - Madame Masque[]
Reveal[]
| Maria Hill:
|
We have a precise location for the magical activity. |
| Tony Stark:
|
And as an added bonus, we can confirm that Madame Masque is overseeing it. |
| Black Widow:
|
Damn, if I'd known that sooner I could have done a better job taunting Hammerhead. |
Start[]
| Black Widow:
|
Taking orders from the Hand now, Giuletta? And mooching HYDRA's magical know-how? |
| Hardly. The Hand takes orders from me. And HYDRA is not worth my attention.
We got what we needed from them. Now we are in control. Once this ritual is complete... |
Madame Masque:
|
| Black Widow:
|
Funny, they're saying the same thing. |
| HYDRA can pursue their delusions all they want, as long as they don't cross me. | Madame Masque:
|
| It is fatal to cross me. As you will find out. | Madame Masque:
|
Lose[]
| Run while you can, Widow. | Madame Masque:
|
Repeat[]
| You have dared too much this time! | Madame Masque:
|
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Strange's instruments are telling us that magical emanations from that location have stopped. At least as far as I can tell from this horrible interface. |
| Maria Hill:
|
What are you seeing, Widow? |
| Black Widow:
|
Not much of anything. No magic, that's for sure. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Excellent. Let's keep this fight to fists and guns when we can. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Agent, briefing awaits at the Helicarrier. |
Mission Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Interesting takeaway here. The Maggia and the Hand are splitting with HYDRA? |
| Nick Fury:
|
Some marriages don't last.
Maybe some Syndicates don't either. |
| Tony Stark:
|
That's kind of a big assumption, since we still don't know who is in the Syndicate. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Maybe not. But what we do know is that all of the people who might be in it aren't on the same page. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Division among the enemy. I like it. |
Mission 3[]
Mission Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
A.I.M. commandos are hitting the Hudson River waterfront around Pier 94.
Some of them are reinforced with Power Armor. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Could just be a routine terrorist op, but right now I'm not inclined to think anything is routine. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Not with M.O.D.O.K. looking to harness the Dark Dimension portals. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Whatever's going on down there, take a team and put a stop to it. |
Deploy 1[]
Screen Text[]
A.I.M. is using this substation to initialize Power Armor. If we can get Nightcrawler into this site, he can cut off the energy supply and keep A.I.M. from getting armored reinforcements.
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
Some of the A.I.M. Power Armor suits have run amok. Whatever's been hacking S.H.I.E.L.D. facilities might be going after A.I.M., too. Either way, these rogues need to go down.
Start[]
| Nick Fury:
|
Rogue Power Armor is even worse than Power Armor doing what A.I.M. wants. Take them out and return one of the suits. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Tony. You think this is the same as the attacks on S.W.O.R.D.? |
| Tony Stark:
|
I'm starting to. But all we can do is look at the aftermath and try to figure it out. |
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
S.H.I.E.L.D. techs are running diagnostics on the Power Armor cybernetics. We should know something soon. |
Deploy 3[]
Screen Text[]
There's got to be a weak spot in this A.I.M. position, but the assault team can't find it. They're taking heavy casualties and need tactical assistance.
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
We've got an unconfirmed report of M.O.D.O.K. at this location. Get someone over there and engage if you find him.
Deploy 5[]
Screen Text[]
A patrol caught a disguised A.I.M. courier with what looks like astronomical data. Get it to Reed Richards on the double.
Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
We know that A.I.M. courier has a star map with coded markings. Nail him and get the map to Reed Richards. |
Complete[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Excellent. Soon as Reed can figure out that code, we'll know what A.I.M. knows. |
MiniBoss - Exoskeletal Battletank[]
Reveal[]
| Tony Stark:
|
There's the detachment of Power Armor. Storm is with you on this op. |
Storm:
|
Professor X is concerned that A.I.M. is pursuing an anti-mutant agenda. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Let's find out. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Don't draw this out any longer than necessary. |
Start[]
| A.I.M. fears no mutant! | Power Armor:
|
Lose[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Your regular street tactics won't work here. Remember, tailor the approach to the enemy's weakness. |
Repeat[]
| Storm:
|
A.I.M.'s about to learn to fear this mutant. |
Complete[]
| Storm:
|
Power Armor is deactivated. |
| Tony Stark:
|
That's an understatement. Love what you did with the lightning. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Let's get on with it. |
Boss - Hydro-Man[]
Reveal[]
| Storm:
|
Hydro-Man is back. He just came up out of the river. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Can you put him back in it? |
| Storm:
|
Sounds like a good idea. |
Start[]
| Storm. I must be big-time if the X-Men are after me! | Hydro-Man:
|
| Storm:
|
Hardly. I was in the neighborhood. I wouldn't go out of my way for a slimebag like you. |
| Well, now that you're here, let me make it worth your while. | Hydro-Man:
|
| Storm:
|
You could make it worth my while by telling me why A.I.M. is paying you. |
| Nothing's free, sweetheart. Not even for a queen. | Hydro-Man:
|
Lose[]
| Big-time, I told you! Still think I'm wasting your time? | Hydro-Man:
|
Repeat[]
| Storm:
|
You're still here? Maybe we should have taken you a little more seriously. |
| Told you! | Hydro-Man:
|
| Storm:
|
Careful what you wish for. |
Complete[]
| Nick Fury:
|
What did you do, turn him into raindrops? Where is he? |
| Storm:
|
It will take him some time to reassemble. There's some kind of gadgetry here right at the water's edge, Nick. |
| Storm:
|
It's only partially assembled. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Let's get it back to the Helicarrier and put the research boys to work on it. |
Mission Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Lab boys say the machinery used Iso-8 to do some kind of chemical transformation. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Maybe this was just a routine terrorist op. Poison the river or something. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Poison the Hudson River? Kind of a waste of effort, isn't it? |
| Tony Stark:
|
Can't figure out what Hydro-Man would be doing working with A.I.M....
...unless A.I.M. and HYDRA are forming a faction against the Syndicate. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Or they joined together in the Syndicate. |
| Nick Fury:
|
I'm sick of guessing. Get into the field and get some answers. |
Mission 4[]
Mission Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
HYDRA is up to something near Avengers Mansion.
We've heard enough chatter about their big shipment that we think this must be it. |
| Nick Fury:
|
They've released Mindless Ones! How the hell did they get Mindless Ones? |
| Tony Stark:
|
If HYDRA has some kind of deal with Dormammu, that would explain how they're able to use portals.
Zemo or Viper must be in the Syndicate. If we can bring one of them in, they'll spill the identities of the rest. |
| Maria Hill:
|
And maybe tell us something about Dormammu. |
| Nick Fury:
|
I'll take that if I can get it. But I'd rather know what this shipment is and why they're so hot and bothered about it. |
Deploy 1[]
Screen Text[]
Baron Zemo was spotted here! This could be our chance to nail him before he gets whatever shipment he's expecting.
Start[]
| Nick Fury:
|
There's Zemo. Get someone on his tail and see if he'll lead us to whatever was on that truck. |
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Interesting. He paid a visit to the Latverian Embassy.
They're all in it together. Whatever it is. |
| Maria Hill:
|
The Syndicate? |
| Tony Stark:
|
Maybe, but what's the Syndicate? |
| Nick Fury:
|
Keep looking. We'll find it. |
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
If Baron Zemo is around, the Viper might be too. Send Spider-Woman out to see how many heads she can cut off HYDRA.
Deploy 3[]
Screen Text[]
Mindless Ones are trying to get onto the Avengers Mansion grounds. S.H.I.E.L.D. rapid-response forces are intercepting, but they're going to need some extra firepower.
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
Another report of Baron Zemo! Is he hiding behind the Mindless Ones here? Get someone inside and find out. Whoever it is better be ready to fight at close quarters.
Deploy 5[]
Screen Text[]
NYPD is investigating a crime scene here. They've found what looks like the same circle graffiti we were looking into before. Send someone over to gather information and report back.
Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
We asked NYPD to let us know if they saw any of that eight-pointed star graffiti.
Now they've got a room covered with it. Also full of dead bodies. They're preserving the scene, but not for long. Let's see what we can learn before they have to get their investigation moving. |
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Definitely the Circle of Eight. Whoever they are, they're not just graffiti artists. |
| Maria Hill:
|
They've added ritual murder to their repertoire. |
| Tony Stark:
|
And going by what they painted on the walls, they sure love the word chaos. |
MiniBoss - Baron Zemo[]
Reveal[]
Thor:
|
Baron Zemo is in the area, Fury. |
| Nick Fury:
|
What are you doing down there? |
| Thor:
|
I fear Asgardian complicity in whatever HYDRA is doing. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Fear it or know it? |
| Thor:
|
Know it. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Any sign of Loki? |
| Thor:
|
How would I know? |
| Tony Stark:
|
Frost giants? Trolls? Come on, Thor. Give us something. |
| Thor:
|
Agent, we should move quickly against Baron Zemo. |
Start[]
| Thunder God, you were always one of the Reich's favorites. | Baron Zemo:
|
| Thor:
|
That was before I came to Midgard. If I had been here, your Reich would have died before it was fully born.
The time has come to atone for my absence then. |
Lose[]
| Once you were a god to us. Now we have left you behind! | Baron Zemo:
|
Repeat[]
| You are a relic, Thor. The new Reich will look elsewhere. | Baron Zemo:
|
| Thor:
|
The new Reich is a fever dream. By Odin's eye, you are about to awaken. |
Complete[]
| Thor:
|
Nick, Tony, Maria... Zemo has escaped. But that is not the worst of it. HYDRA's shipment has indeed arrived. |
| Nick Fury:
|
You saw it? |
| Thor:
|
I did. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Do we have to beg? What was it? |
| Thor:
|
It was a coffin. |
Boss - Enchantress/Executioner[]
Reveal[]
| Thor:
|
We are on our way.
Agent, we leave with our shields or on them. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Intel got us an ID on the coffin Zemo is transporting.
It was the body of the Red Skull. |
| Thor:
|
He is taking the corpse to the Enchantress and the Executioner. |
| Nick Fury:
|
If they've got the Red Skull's body in there, we need to crash this party yesterday. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Does anyone else know about this yet? |
| Nick Fury:
|
The minute I tell the White House, they're going to start talking tactical nukes. |
| Tony Stark:
|
That's why I asked. We can handle this. |
| Nick Fury:
|
If ever a body needed an anonymous burial... |
Start[]
| Thor:
|
Necromancy is beneath you, Enchantress. Although nothing is beneath Skurge.
Apparently not even trafficking in the flotsam of the Third Reich. |
| Empty words, Odinson. Midgard is about to meet one of the few men fit to rule it.
And thanks to this ritual borrowed from the Hand, I will rule him. |
Enchantress:
|
| Thor:
|
You bring shame to Asgard. |
| Asgard can be ashamed if Asgard wishes. So can you. I desire only battle. | Executioner:
|
| Thor:
|
You shall have it. But you shall not have mercy. |
Lose[]
| Do you weaken so soon, Odinson? Midgard has softened you. | Enchantress:
|
Repeat[]
| Thor:
|
Midgard has taught me what real strength is, Enchantress. Now I will teach you. |
Complete[]
| Thor:
|
Zemo was gone when I arrived. So was the Red Skull's body. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Do we know if they...? |
| Thor:
|
I cannot tell. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Yeah, I can't either. We've got all available resources tracking Zemo. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Thor, you stay on the hunt. Agent, back to the Helicarrier.
We got some hard thinking to do. |
Epic Boss - Dormammu[]
Reveal[]
| Thor:
|
The Enchantress has unleashed powers she did not expect. |
| Thor:
|
When she opened the portal for the Red Skull, Dormammu escaped into this world once again. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Dormammu? We just got rid of him. Can we send him after Loki? |
| Thor:
|
Jest if you must, Tony Stark. We on the battlefield do not see the humor. |
Start[]
| Thor:
|
Demon, you have fattened on mortal souls. Now you meet the strength of Asgard! |
| Fool. For Dormammu, Asgardians die as easily as mortals. | Dormammu:
|
| Thor:
|
Mjolnir will teach you your lies. |
| I will pick my teeth with the haft of your hammer, godling. Your bones will look no different than a mortal's. | Dormammu:
|
Lose[]
| This world will be mine! | Dormammu:
|
Repeat[]
| Stand aside, Asgardian. Where is Stephen Strange? I have a score to settle with him. | Dormammu:
|
| Thor:
|
My quarrel is with you, demon. Your minions run rampant in this world I have sworn to protect. |
| Insolence and divinity give a fine flavor to the blood. When I drink yours, I will savor it. | Dormammu:
|
Complete[]
| Thor:
|
The demon is dispelled. He is a mighty evil. Agent, you have proved yourself again. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Do we have a lid on this situation now? |
| Thor:
|
The Portal closed behind Dormammu, but there may be Mindless Ones remaining. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Run a sweep to make sure. But make it quick. The Red Skull is top priority as of now. |
Mission Complete[]
| Nick Fury:
|
People, we need to take a hard look at ourselves.
How the hell did HYDRA find the Red Skull's body to begin with? And then get it here just when they had Hand magic to bring him back to life? How did we let that happen? Guess I better put in that call to the White House. I'd sooner get in a hot tub full of weasels. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Not just yet. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Not just yet? You got a better idea for a time, Commander Hill? |
| Maria Hill:
|
I think we need to keep this in-house. You trust Washington to handle the Red Skull better than we can? |
| Nick Fury:
|
... |
| Tony Stark:
|
She's right. |
| Nick Fury:
|
All right. We keep it here. But we go hard, we don't stop, and I got my finger on the speed-dial. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Agent, here's where you show us we did the right thing bringing you on. |
Mission 5[]
Mission Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Doom is making another move!
Servo Guards have established positions all around Bryant Park and the main branch of the library. Ben Grimm is on the scene. |
Thing:
|
I was payin' some late fees at the library. Now there's Servo Guards everywhere.
Come on down. I don't want to have all the fun by myself. |
Deploy 1[]
Screen Text[]
While Doom is attacking here, the Latverian Embassy is vulnerable. Infiltrate it and scoop up whatever intel is there to find.
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
A cybernetic attack has sabotaged a warehouse full of Sentinels S.H.I.E.L.D. was holding for analysis. Get the Hulk over there. He's tough enough to take them down and maybe smart enough to figure out where these attacks are coming from.
Start[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Now it's Sentinels going rogue. Hulk, this one's for you.
Leave enough big pieces for us to figure out if it's the same saboteur who hit the A.I.M. Power Armor. |
Hulk:
|
No promises. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Just try. |
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
The lab's working. We'll see what they come up with. |
| Maria Hill:
|
We already know. Don't we?
There's a concerted effort to corrupt not just our cybernetics, but every information security structure on the planet. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Okay. So what does that mean? |
| Nick Fury:
|
Means there's another adversary out there who isn't quite ready to make himself known. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Terrific. |

Some of those reanimated HYDRA commandos from the 1940s just reappeared downtown. Send Captain America to deal with them. He's done it before.
Start[]
| Tony Stark:
|
More HYDRA zombies. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Not zombies. They're not eating anyone. |
| Tony Stark:
|
They're brought back to life by occult rituals. I'm calling them zombies. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Just take ‘em down. Cap, you're on. |
Complete[]
Captain America:
|
Just like old times. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Never gets old, does it? |
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
Down in the library basement you find two things: special collections and Servo Guards protecting an escape route. If we can get rid of them, we've got the bad guys trapped.
Deploy 5[]
Screen Text[]
Intel reports that a large package is on its way from the Latverian Embassy by courier to an undisclosed location. Shadow the delivery and report on who picks the package up.
Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Is this the package that was on the truck? |
| Nick Fury:
|
Find out. If so, it's proof that Latveria's working with the Hand. |
| Maria Hill:
|
We're talking about the Red Skull's body here. We need more proof? |
| Nick Fury:
|
To make a diplomatic issue of it, yes. |
Complete[]
| Maria Hill:
|
There's no way to identify the parcel for sure. But it was delivered to a known HYDRA dead drop. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Monitor that location. If the parcel leaves, take it. |
MiniBoss - Vector[]
Reveal[]
| Thing:
|
You were wondering where the rest of the U-Foes were, right? |
| Tony Stark:
|
As a matter of fact, we were. |
| Thing:
|
Well, I'm lookin' at Vector right now. But with all these Servo Guards raisin' hell, it's hard to tell what Vector's up to. |
| Maria Hill:
|
We don't much care, Ben. Consensus is that Doom is about to make some kind of move. Vector's just in your way. |
| Thing:
|
Well, lemme move him, then. |
Start[]
| Thing:
|
Vector, according to S.H.I.E.L.D. you're in the way. |
| Too bad, rockpile. | Vector:
|
| Thing:
|
That all you got? Then I'll just get to the clobberin'! |
Lose[]
| I'm still here, rockpile! But I don't see you! | Vector:
|
Repeat[]
| Thing:
|
Call me a rockpile again. |
| Don't need to! You do it to yourself! | Vector:
|
| Thing:
|
That's nothin' compared to what I'm gonna do to you. |
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
That didn't take long. |
| Thing:
|
He made me mad with the rockpile stuff. I'm sensitive. |
MiniBoss - Vapor[]
Reveal[]
| Thing:
|
And there's the complete set. Vapor's floating around causin' trouble just across the park.
Long as X-Ray and Ironclad are still on the Raft, we got all the U-Foes accounted for. |
| Maria Hill:
|
They are. Vapor should join them, don't you think? |
| Thing:
|
Sure, but I got the same problem Cage had. How'm I supposed to land a punch on mist? |
| Maria Hill:
|
Cage worked it out. With the Agent's help. |
| Thing:
|
I guess we'll see. |
Start[]
| Clear out of here, Thing. Doom's got important work to do. | Vapor:
|
| Thing:
|
That guy? He thinks it's important every time he picks lint off that stupid cape of his. |
| I'll tell him you said that. | Vapor:
|
| Thing:
|
Show me where he is, I'll tell him myself. You won't be able to, seeing as you'll be on the Raft. |
Lose[]
| I'm looking around, and I don't seem to be on the Raft. | Vapor:
|
Repeat[]
| You here to shoot off your mouth some more? | Vapor:
|
| Thing:
|
Nah. My gift of gab is wasted on you. |
Complete[]
| Thing:
|
Got her. But she's kind of dispersing in the breeze. Someone should bring a bottle. |
| Maria Hill:
|
A recovery team is on the way. You and the Agent need to keep an eye out for Doom. |
| Tony Stark:
|
And finish off those Servo Guards. Can't have them running around scaring the kids in the library. |
Boss - Dr. Doom[]
Reveal[]
| Thing:
|
There's Doom! But he's not doin' anything. Just flappin' his gums behind his mask. |
| Doom is here today to announce the mightiest alliance of strength the world has ever seen.
Together with HYDRA and the Brotherhood of Mutants, Doom has created the Syndicate... ...which will create a new world using the unprecedented powers of isotope-8. We acknowledge no authority other than our own. Resist us at your peril. |
Dr. Doom:
|
Start[]
| Thing:
|
You gonna prop the Red Skull up in a chair and give him a membership in the Syndicate too? |
| He will join us in good time.
Where are the rest of your cosmic ray-addled friends? Have they left you to face Doom on your own? |
Dr. Doom:
|
| Thing:
|
No biggie. Where's all your Syndicate pals? |
| Even alone, Doom cannot be resisted. He has never fought a battle he could not win. | Dr. Doom:
|
| Thing:
|
Neither has this kid. Somethin's got to give! |
Lose[]
| All these years and you are still a fool, Ben Grimm. Only a fool resists Doom! | Dr. Doom:
|
Repeat[]
| Thing:
|
I'm gonna resist Doom some more. I just can't get enough of resisting Doom.
What a fool I am. |
Complete[]
| Thing:
|
Ah, he bailed out. Must have had important business to attend to, what with the Syndicate and all. |
| Tony Stark:
|
That was his plan all along. He wasn't really here to fight. This was a press availability.
Believe me, I know one when I see one. |
Mission Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
So. The Syndicate is revealed. Doom, Magneto, HYDRA... |
| Maria Hill:
|
Did he tell us everyone who was involved? It would be just like Doom to hold something out so we think we know everything. |
| Tony Stark:
|
It would. He didn't mention M.O.D.O.K. or the Hood, but they've got to be involved somehow. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Or the Maggia, but Madame Masque made it sound like they were doing their own thing. |
| Maria Hill:
|
We aren't talking about the Red Skull. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Okay, let's talk about the Red Skull. Anyone want to take bets on what Magneto will do if the Red Skull comes back to life? |
| Nick Fury:
|
Like I said, I love to see division among the enemy. |
Mission 6[]
Mission Start[]
| Nick Fury:
|
We've got a double dose of bad news to get you going. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Bulldozer and Hand ninjas have broken the rest of the Wrecking Crew out of the Raft. That's part one. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Part two is that the Hand is brewing up some kind of hellacious magic downtown. |
| Maria Hill:
|
We've got a bad feeling that it's a resurrection magic like they practiced on the Hood. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Get thee to the Brooklyn Bridge, pronto. |
Deploy 1[]
Screen Text[]
City Hall is under attack! Security is doing what they can, but they're no match for the Hand. They need some superhuman backup.
Deploy 2[]
Screen Text[]
The Hand is setting an ambush in this maintenance station. Send Iron Fist to turn it around on them so we can secure our approach to the bridge.
Deploy 3[]
Screen Text[]
If we can get Daredevil one-on-one with Elektra, we might be able to bring the curtain down on this show before the Hand perform their mojo. It's a slim chance, but let's try it.
Start[]
| Nick Fury:
|
Cover Daredevil so he can maneuver Elektra into a one-on-one. Let's get this over before the Hand gets it started. |
Complete[]
Daredevil:
|
I couldn't get close. The perimeter's too tight, and they've got…there's something unnatural out there.
Some kind of magical defense. It alerted them whenever I got close. |
| Nick Fury:
|
We'll have to do this the straightforward way, then. Let's get moving. |
Deploy 4[]
Screen Text[]
There's a nutcase with a crowbar claiming he's the Wrecker and destroying everything he can get to. We don't have time to be nice. Dispatch someone to beat some sense into him.
Deploy 5[]
Screen Text[]
A S.H.I.E.L.D. assault team wants to take this approach to a Hand position in City Hall Plaza, but they're not going to get there alone. Send a hero to make sure they get through.
MiniBoss - Bulldozer/Thunderball[]
Reveal[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Bulldozer and Thunderball, together again. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Cage, you mind putting these two back where they belong? |
Luke Cage:
|
Piece of cake. |
Start[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Are you Tweedledum and Tweedledee, or is that the other two? |
| Cage, the joint didn't wise you up at all. | Bulldozer:
|
| You still don't know when to walk away from a fight you can't win. | Thunderball:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
Never seen that fight yet. |
Lose[]
| Down the rabbit hole, Cage! | Thunderball:
|
Repeat[]
| Luke Cage:
|
No joking this time. |
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Halfway there. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Get a move on. Magic readings are going crazy up here. |
| Tony Stark:
|
We'll have the location zeroed in soon. Be ready. |
MiniBoss - Piledriver/Wrecker[]
Reveal[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Piledriver and the Wrecker himself. This makes two pair.
Against me, that's never a winning hand. |
Start[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Lemme guess. Mutt and Jeff. |
| Don't piss us off, Cage. | Piledriver:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
Dumb and Dumber? |
| That's it. Now we're mad. | Wrecker:
|
Lose[]
| See what happens when you make me mad? | Wrecker:
|
Repeat[]
| Luke Cage:
|
You want to see mad? I'm about to wrap that crowbar around your neck. |
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
We should start a shuttle just to get the Wrecking Crew back to the Raft. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Hand ninjas are clustering in the area we think the magic is coming from. Stand by for confirmation. |
| Luke Cage:
|
I'll get a head start. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Agent, get freshened up. When the word comes, we'll need you moving tout suite. |
Boss - Elektra/Boss|Elektra[]
Reveal[]
| Tony Stark:
|
We've pinpointed the location of the magic. It's a portal. |
| Luke Cage:
|
I'm there. Got a bead on Elektra. |
| Maria Hill:
|
The magic readings are peaking. It's now or never. |
| Luke Cage:
|
Sounds like it better be now. |
Start[]
| Cage, you and S.H.I.E.L.D. are always just a little too late. | Elektra:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
If you're still here, we're not too late.
By the way, you seen Doom? He still owes me money. |
| You've got bigger problems than uncollected debts, Cage.
Starting with me. |
Elektra:
|
Lose[]
| Almost there, Luke. Don't leave yet! | Elektra:
|
Repeat[]
| Luke Cage:
|
You got a big problem, Elektra. Its name is me. |
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Elektra's down. But this portal is still open--
Sweet Christmas. |
| Nick Fury:
|
We didn't make it. The Red Skull lives. |
| Herrliche neue Welt[1]! | Red Skull:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
Yeah, it's a new world. And you're not welcome in it. |
| Untermensch[2], you and all your kind will soon know what is meant by a Tausendjahriges Reich[3]! | Red Skull:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
My kind? My kind!? Stand and fight, Schmidt, and you'll find out who's the Untermensch here. |
| Hahahaha! | Red Skull:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
He's gone. Portal's closed. |
| Nick Fury:
|
This changes everything. |
Mission Complete[]
| Nick Fury:
|
Right now, the Red Skull is eating hasenpfeffer or some other damn German food with Doom. I guarantee it. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Everything we do just got a lot more urgent and a lot more important. Iso-8 research especially. |
| Tony Stark:
|
You know Doom and the Syndicate will be going at it hard. We need to go harder. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Only good thing to come out of this is there's no way Magneto's gonna share a table with the Red Skull.
And that's a mighty small silver lining in a mighty dark cloud. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Brave new world, he said. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Over my dead body. Agent, that goes for you too. |
