Chapter 4 - You, Foe: Mission 3 - Hydrophobia[]
Start[]
Maria Hill:
|
The U-foes are on the move again, and this time they're working with Hydro-Man. |
Tony Stark:
|
Who appears to have gotten out of the sewers. He's doing something around the Chrysler Building, but we're not sure what. |
Nick Fury:
|
We're working more closely with the Fantastic Four when the U-Foes are involved. Familiarity is a tactical edge. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Johnny Storm is going to be keeping an eye on Hydro-Man. |
Human Torch:
|
Let's see if he can stand the heat. Try to keep up, Agent! |
Mini-Boss - Hydro-Man[]
Reveal[]
| Human Torch:
|
Aaaaaand there he is. Hydro-Man. Can't wait to get him all steamed up! |
Start[]
| Human Torch:
|
Hydro-Man, since when are you tied up with the Hand and all their hocus-pocus? |
| There's one guy at the top, Torch. You'll see. Or maybe you won't. Maybe I'll put you out for good. | Hydro-Man:
|
| Human Torch:
|
Put me out? I'm not on fire. I am fire. You can't put me out.
Flame on! |
Complete[]
| Human Torch:
|
I'm keeping Hydro-Man evaporated here, Tony, but I can't do it forever. |
| Tony Stark:
|
I've got a special cell for him. It's on the way. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Good work taking him down. Did he say any more about who was the "one guy at the top"? |
| Human Torch:
|
He sure didn't. My guess is Doom. What do you think? |
Boss - X-Ray[]
Start[]
| Johnny Storm, my alter ego! My template, my previous version! | X-Ray:
|
| Human Torch:
|
Previous version? What, you think you're an an upgrade? |
| Oh yes. And now that I'm getting a sense of what Iso-8 can do, I am about to upgrade once again. | X-Ray:
|
| Human Torch:
|
I don't think you're eligible for an upgrade yet. And you know what? I don't need one to take on your sorry ass. |
| Let's see what you think after this! | X-Ray:
|
Complete[]
| Human Torch:
|
He's trapped for now, Nick. Tony, can you hold him? |
| Tony Stark:
|
Dropship's already nearby with a leaded capsule until the Vault's online again. |
| Human Torch:
|
Step on it, willya? He's not going to stay down forever. |
Chapter 7 - MIA: Premium Mission: A Whole New U[]
Mini-Boss - Vapor[]
Reveal[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Now that we're reducing the population of Servo Guards in the area, we need to pick off some leaders.
Starting with Vapor. Locking her position on your display now, Agent. Yours too, Johnny. |
| Human Torch:
|
I see her, Tony. Go in now? |
| Tony Stark:
|
If Doom was involved in the abduction, we need to turn up the heat on him.
And if he's sheltering the U-Foes, that's good enough reason to send a message, too. I guess what I'm saying is I want you to give them some second thoughts. Know what I mean? |
Start[]
| Johnny Storm, I look at you and I feel a little pity.
You got a taste of cosmic rays and think you're invincible. But Iso-8 puts me in a whole new league. |
Vapor:
|
| Human Torch:
|
Spare yourself some embarrassment, Vapor. Just hand over Nick and Maria.
On second thought, nevermind. I'd rather embarrass you. |
Repeat[]
| Some gases ignite. Some choke out flames. Which do you think I am? | Vapor:
|
| Human Torch:
|
You guys are like Canal Street knockoffs of the real Fantastic Four.
I'm the pure product. Choke on that. |
Complete[]
| Human Torch:
|
This particular genie is back in the bottle for now, Tony. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Nicely done, Johnny. Three more of them to go.
Agent, don't be afraid to leave some marks. We're sending a message here. |
Mini-Boss - Ironclad[]
Reveal[]
| Human Torch:
|
There's Ironclad. Ready to hit him on your go. |
| Tony Stark:
|
One of these days we should fly over Ironclad with one of those junkyard crane magnets.
I'm going to build one right now. But while I'm working on it, why don't you take your team in and settle things the old-fashioned way? |
Start[]
| Human Torch:
|
You guys sure got on the wrong side of S.H.I.E.L.D. this time. |
| We got on the right side of what's coming, Johnny boy. Bet on it. | Ironclad:
|
| Human Torch:
|
Only thing I'm betting on is Nick Fury turning you into chicken wire when he gets back. |
| Maybe he's not coming back. | Ironclad:
|
| Human Torch:
|
Then I'll have to do it for him. |
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Chicken wire. Man, I wish you had. |
| Human Torch:
|
You need tools and stuff to do that. I did what I could. |
| Tony Stark:
|
You did plenty. Two down, two to go. |
Boss - X-Ray/Vector[]
Reveal[]
| Human Torch:
|
Vector and X-Ray, before my very eyes. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Together? Lace 'em up, team. A 2-for-1 special at the Discount Villain Warehouse. |
Start[]
| Latverian territory here, Johnny. You looking to cause an incident? | Vector:
|
| Human Torch:
|
I have a message for Doom. And for you. |
| Seriously? Never thought you were one for speeches. | X-Ray:
|
| Human Torch:
|
This one's short. Flame on! |
Repeat[]
| We didn't quite get your message last time. | X-Ray:
|
| There was a bit of interference. | Vector:
|
| Human Torch:
|
Don't sweat it. The channel's about to clear up. |
Complete[]
| Human Torch:
|
Message sent, Tony. |
| Tony Stark:
|
I believe Nick would term that grade-A ass-kickery.
And if he wouldn't, I'll go ahead and do it for him. Johnny, do me a favor and update Reed. Agent, we'll meet up at the Helicarrier. |
Chapter 9 - The Syndicate: Mission 2 - Mutatis Mutandis[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Johnny, burn off this crap before we’ve got an airborne toxic event. |
| Human Torch:
|
Consider it done. |
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
That was quite a show. Stand by in case there’s another release. |
| Human Torch:
|
You got it. |
Mini-Boss - Grey Gargoyle[]
Reveal[]
| Human Torch:
|
Nick, I'm flying over Bellevue right now. Test subjects are all over the place, and the Grey Gargoyle is conducting the show.
He must have gotten out of Ryker's during the, ah... |
| Tony Stark:
|
A.I.M. and Doom must be getting into the human-experimenting business. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Unless this is a Syndicate initiative. Anyone could be working with anyone. |
| Nick Fury:
|
That's part of what we need to find out. So let's stop jawing and do it. |
Start[]
| Human Torch:
|
You Syndicate guys must really love this spot. We wreck it, you move right back in.
You getting a break on the rent or something? |
| Ah, you know about the Syndicate. Enjoy that little tidbit, Johnny Storm. Much greater revelations are soon to come. | Grey Gargoyle:
|
Repeat[]
| Human Torch:
|
Bellevue's a good place for you, Gargoyle. But first you have to take a trip on the Raft. |
Boss - Crimson Cowl[]
Start[]
| Come on in, Torch. Are you here to participate? Love to have you. | Crimson Cowl:
|
| Human Torch:
|
I'm happy just the way I am. |
| Only because you don't know what you could be. And now you never will! | Crimson Cowl:
|
Repeat[]
| Human Torch:
|
You haven't seen the best of me yet. Flame on! |
Complete[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Well done, Johnny. |
| Human Torch:
|
Nah, she got away. I had her. Maybe she's right about Iso-8... |
| Nick Fury:
|
Bite your tongue. We are going to win this thing our way. |
Chapter 2 - Crazy Eights: Mission 2 - Eight Fingers[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
There's a group of fires here, apparently set for some kind of ritual purpose. They're about to merge into one huge conflagration.
Johnny, the local fire department is overwhelmed. Can you get there and set a firebreak? |
| Human Torch:
|
You bet. It's not every day I get to help put a fire out. Feels a little weird, but I like the variety! |
Complete[]
| Human Torch:
|
Flame off! Or under control, anyway. The local FD should be all set to put it out now. |
| Maria Hill:
|
We might have found a new use for you. |
| Human Torch:
|
Any time you need me, baby. I'm useful for all kinds of stuff. |
Chapter 5 - Spot Treatment: Mission 2 - Grudge Match[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Tony Stark:
|
This is kind of the opposite of what you usually do, Johnny, but can you go act as a firebreak? |
Agent Coulson:
|
Circle of 8 cultists have started a fire in the park and it's going to burn from Strawberry Fields all the way to the Met if we don't do something. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Iceman or Storm could freeze or drown the flames, but would create too much collateral damage to the flora and fauna. Your powers can starve the blaze, right? |
| Human Torch:
|
Sure, why not? Let's give it a try. Flame on! |
Complete[]
| Human Torch:
|
I am now the Human Extinguisher. And the Human Squirrel-Saver. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Next time we'll let you burn something. Promise. |
Heroic Battle[]
Complete[]
Invisible Woman:
|
Reed, what were they after? |
Mr. Fantastic:
|
Same thing they're always after. They want to be us, even if they go on and on about how they're better than us.
They want Iso-8, they want new tech, they want the means and creativity to live the life that's just beyond their grasp... |
| Human Torch:
|
All because they know they don't measure up. |
Special Operations - All Hallows: Mission 3 - Signed in Blood[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
There's a big fire burning around one of the portals. The Fire Department can't get to it because of all the demons in the area.
If it isn't brought under control, we're going to watch Hell's Kitchen burn right to the waterfront. |
| Tony Stark:
|
What we need is a firebreak, and maybe we've got just the way to make one. Torch? |
| Human Torch:
|
It isn't every day someone asks me to put out fires, but sure. I'm on it. |
Complete[]
| Human Torch:
|
The fire's under control. Oh, and while I was there I took care of some of the demons. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Glad to see you seizing the opportunity, Torch. The citizens of the Kitchen thank you. |
Special Operations - Eclipse Phase: Mission 3 - Split the Difference (Expurgo)[]
Mini-Boss - Human Torch[]
Start[]
Spider-Man:
|
Johnny, buddy, pal, what did you do? |
| It was either me or Sue, Pete. I couldn't let that happen to her. | Human Torch:
|
| Spider-Man:
|
Not judging you. I'm just playing Spider-Decoy until we figure out how to get you out of this mess. |
In-Fight[]
| There's no way out. Not once you sign up with Mephisto. Don't make this harder than it is. | Human Torch:
|
| Spider-Man:
|
Me make it harder? Who started shooting fireballs? |
Lose[]
| Don't make me do that again. | Human Torch:
|
Mission Complete[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Johnny Storm and the Scarlet Witch are free of their debt to Mephisto, thanks to Strange. |
Scarlet Witch:
|
I owe you a debt, Stephen. |
Dr. Strange:
|
Careful, Wanda. Thinking you owe a debt what was got you into your predicament to begin with. |
| Scarlet Witch:
|
Even so. I'm grateful. |
| Human Torch:
|
Me too. Mephisto...he played me for a sucker. I feel stupid. |
| Dr. Strange:
|
This is Mephisto's specialty. He has had millenia of practice. Now you are free. We move on. |
| Agent Coulson:
|
And now we return the favor by giving him enough time to get his magical ducks in a row. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Hold on, Agent. Fury and Stark are on their way back from London. We're heading into the endgame. |
