Covert Task: Cryptic Quest[]
Start of PvP[]
Satana:
|
Ahh, there you are, Agent. Finally, we're alone.
Oh, don't look so nervous! I just wanted to ask for a teensy favor. It will benefit us both, I promise! There's a demonic puzzle box called the Cryptessence. It's ancient and powerful, but also lying in pieces all over the world. If we can gather the pieces and re-assemble it, its power will be ours. I knew you'd be interested! For now, let's just keep this between the two of us, shall we? My brother and the good Doctors mean well, but they would just get in the way. Now then: the Cryptessence was created thousands of years ago by a necromancer in the court of Hatshepsut. I suggest we start by cajoling some information out of our favorite Egyptologist: the "Living Pharaoh". |
Start Quest 2[]
| Satana:
|
Good news, Agent! Ahmet showed me the Egyptian magic necessary to begin re-assembling the Cryptessence.
At least, I think he did. It's hard to perform ritual gestures when your arms are broken in several places. He also said The Hood would know more. Ah, the hunt. Doesn't it get your heart pounding? |
Start Quest 3[]
Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Alright, what are you up to, Satana? You've been beating information out of every goon who's ever dabbled in magic. Did you think I wouldn't notice? |
| Satana:
|
I, er... dear brother, that wasn't me! It was another Satana from an Incursion! |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
... An Incursion. Really. |
| Satana:
|
It's true, I swear! In fact the Agent was just about to go take care of it for me! Weren't you, darling? |
Start Quest 4[]
| Satana:
|
I don't believe this! A Maggia family has declared a blood hunt on me!
I have no idea why they're so angry... well, I guess I killed a couple of them. Or maybe more than a couple. Also I may have... possibly... kind of devoured the soul of one of their capos. But you'll get rid of them, won't you? For me? |
Start Quest 5[]
| Satana:
|
No more distractions, Agent. We need arcane power to perform the ritual. Lots of it.
Luckily I know a place to get it from: Magik. Or rather, her little queendom in the infernal realms. Just talk Blondie into opening a few portals to Limbo and I'll siphon off all the power we need. She won't even notice, I promise. |
Start Quest 6[]
| Satana:
|
Mmm, fresh infernal power. Though it could use a pinch of... chaos magic! Yes, that's it.
Agent, be a peach and have Wanda craft a few hexes for us, won't you? |
Start Quest 7[]
| Satana:
|
As much as it pains me to admit, we may need some assistance from... shall we say, the other side of the tracks.
Now, we don't have a divine magic user... but we do have an "Angel". Eh, close enough. This is magic we're talking about, after all. Leave that whole "making sense" thing to science. |
Start Quest 8[]
| Satana:
|
Good, good. Now we need a bit of Unstable Iso-8, just to kick-start the enchantment.
Oh, don't tell me you're surprised. The stuff's used in everything. |
Start Quest 9[]
| Satana:
|
We're so close, Agent. You've been so good to me. There's just one more thing we need.
Before I can perform the ritual, you have to defeat Apocalypse. It's the only way. Why? Oh, don't worry your pretty head over why. Just take care of this one thing, and you'll have your reward. |
Start Quest 10[]
| Satana:
|
Y-you're back? I mean... oh, dearest, thank hells you're back! I was just, uh...
Okay, you got me. I wanted the Cryptessence for myself. The Maggia weren't enough to do you in, so I was hoping Apocalypse would be. Oh, don't be mad, sweetheart. It's not you, it's me. Look, I'll finish the Cryptessence for you, and in return, you won't ship me back to Mephisto. See, everyone's happy! |
Start Quest 11[]
| Satana:
|
There, the Cryptessence is complete! Here you are, Agent, as promised. Take it... |
Doctor Voodoo:
|
Agent, no! Do not touch the box! |
| Satana:
|
Oh, poo. |
Dr. Strange:
|
The puzzle box is a trap, Agent. Only those of demonic ancestry can safely handle it. |
| Doctor Voodoo:
|
Open it, she-devil. Unless you wish to be consigned back to the flames... and Mephisto. |
| Satana:
|
Oh all right! Spoilsports. Take whatever stupid thing's inside, see if I care. |
Start Quest 12[]
| Dr. Strange:
|
Hmm... the Scroll of Aknazsak was inside the box. Perhaps not as powerful as the Cryptessence, but far less dangerous. |
| Doctor Voodoo:
|
Except for the Fourth Seal. |
| Dr. Strange:
|
Oh, by the Vishanti, yes! Agent, NEVER use the Fourth Seal of the Scroll of Aknazsak. Its power was not meant to be wielded by mortal hand. |
| Satana:
|
Except you totally should. Seriously, it's pretty sweet. Would I lie to you? |
Chapter 12 - Titanomachia: Mission 3 - Under the Hood[]
Mini-Boss - Satana[]
Start[]
| Oh boo. I was just about to feast upon the souls of this city, and now you show up.
Guess you'll make do as an appetizer. |
Satana:

Chapter 6 - When Opportunity Knocks: Mission 4 - Harvester of Souls[]
Heroic Battle[]
Start[]
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
You're keeping some bad company, sister. |
| Satana:
|
I'm keeping my options open. If another universe is going to destroy this one, I want a seat on the lifeboat. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
And you think Mephisto is going to save you a spot? You can't be that gullible. |
| Satana:
|
My brother who puts on his white hat to fight for S.H.I.E.L.D. lectures me about being gullible. Are you going to keep me in line so the Great Eyepatch will pat you on the head? Pathetic. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
No, I'm going to keep you out of the way while we try to stop Mephisto from making the world his personal smorgasbord. |
| Satana:
|
Call it what you want. Nobody tells me what to do. |
Repeat[]
| Satana:
|
Give up, Daimon. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Not a chance in hell. |
Lose[]
| Satana:
|
The world's collapsing around us and you're worried about looking bad to Fury. Well, how do you look now? |
Special Operations - All Hallows: Mission 1 - Devil's Daughter[]
Boss - Satana[]
Start[]
Ghost Rider:
|
So when Daimon says you're the bad sister, what does he mean by bad? |
| Is that a come-on? | Satana:
|
| Ghost Rider:
|
Don't flatter yourself. |
| Then don't flatter my brother by thinking he cares about me. When I send you back to Hell, you can tell him we're coming for him, too. | Satana:
|
| Ghost Rider:
|
Who's we? |
| Demonic legions. Principalities of darkness. You want me to be more specific? You'll find out soon enough. | Satana:
|
Repeat[]
| Ghost Rider:
|
She's tougher than she looks. |
| Flatterer. | Satana:
|
| Ghost Rider:
|
Oh, you heard that? I take it back. |
Lose[]
| You've got to do something about your hair before you start asking girls out. | Satana:

Special Operations - All Hallows: Mission 3 - Signed in Blood[]
Mini-Boss - Satana[]
Start[]
| Ghost Rider:
|
Want to go for a ride? |
| Johnny, have I ever said yes? | Satana:
|
| Ghost Rider:
|
Can't blame a guy for trying. |
| I don't blame you. But I won't mourn you either, once you're dead. | Satana:
|
Repeat[]
| Johnny, don't ever say I led you on.
Except maybe to certain doom. |
Satana:
|
Lose[]
| Go to hell. Ha! It's funny when I say it. | Satana:
|
Special Operations - Sins of the Fathers: Mission 1 - Masters of Evil[]
Group Boss - Blackheart[]
Reveal[]
Maria Hill:
|
Dammit. We didn't stop Baron Mordo after all. |
Nick Fury:
|
Blackheart is using portals to appear all over the city. We're going to have a hard time running him down. Hellstrom can't do it while he's trying to close the other portals and hold back the demons. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
I had a bad feeling about this when Blackheart's bones disappeared... |
| Satana:
|
Sure you did, Daimon. Maybe if you'd finished the job quicker the bones wouldn't have had a chance to disappear. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
And maybe if I stuck this trident in your eyes you wouldn't be looking over my shoulder all the time, you soul-sucking-- |
| Ghost Rider:
|
Shut up, both of you. While you're sitting around bickering, Strange and I are shutting portals down. Mind helping out? |
| Maria Hill:
|
If he's appearing in several places at once, maybe Mordo was conducting the ritual in more than one place at the same time. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Ghost Rider's right. Now about we stop running our mouths and start hunting? |
Special Operations - Sins of the Fathers: Mission 2 - Death's Sting[]
Mission Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Blackheart's out there somewhere -- |
| Nick Fury:
|
More than one somewhere, from the looks of it. |
Tony Stark:
|
-- and we've still got demons running amok. There's also a new crew or armed thugs, and guess who else showed up? Our old pals the Wrecking Crew.
Man, if I never see those guys again it'll be too soon. |
| Maria Hill:
|
And right about the same time we spotted the Wrecker and his boys, a certain Satana dropped by unexpectedly. |
| Satana:
|
Well, my brother said you needed a little help... |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Most succubi are better liars than you, sis. Sounds to me like you're running in here away from the Wrecking Crew and offering to help so we'll cover your ass. |
| Tony Stark:
|
There's also the slight issue with how you allied yourself with Mephisto and tried to kill us all a few months back. |
| Satana:
|
What do you want me to say? Things are different now. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
What she means is the Wrecking Crew isn't her only problem. |
| Satana:
|
Back me up and I'll get rid of them. Then I'll tell you the whole story. |
Mini-Boss - Thunderball[]
Reveal[]
| Satana:
|
Thunderball and Bulldozer. Looks like the Wrecking Crew have split into pairs looking for me. |
| Maria Hill:
|
We'll help you take care of them, but you better hold up your end of the deal. |
| Satana:
|
You're cute when you try to threaten people who can kill you with a gesture. Don't worry, sweetheart, I'll be true. |
Start[]
| There she is. Let's wrap her up and get this job done. I wanna get back to New York. | Thunderball:
|
| Not me. I'd rather stay in the country where I belong! But a job's a job. Come on, kid. There's someone wants to see you. | Bulldozer:
|
| Satana:
|
Thunderball, how do you put up with this country-boy act? |
| You're trying to distract me. Don't do that. | Thunderball:
|
Repeat[]
| Satana:
|
You boys care to try again? |
Complete[]
| Satana:
|
Those guys couldn't have handled me even before I came to you for help. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Then why did you come for help? |
| Satana:
|
After your deft handling of the Blackheart situation, how could I not? |
| Nick Fury:
|
No sibling arguments, please. Too many demons around. |
Mini-Boss - Wrecker[]
Reveal[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Satana, you'll want to take note of the location of two of your Wrecking Crew... stalkers? Hunters? |
| Maria Hill:
|
Piledriver and the Wrecker himself. Why don't you go ahead and tell us what they're after? |
| Satana:
|
I did tell you. They're after me. |
| Maria Hill:
|
You know what I mean. |
| Satana:
|
And you know I'm part demon. We're experts at being selectively literal. |
Start[]
| You ran a long way, Satana. Now the run's over. Time to come along. | Wrecker:
|
| Satana:
|
No. You're not just chasing me anymore. You're fighting S.H.I.E.L.D. |
| What else is new? | Piledriver:
|
Complete[]
| Satana:
|
Thanks for the assist, Agent. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Skip the pleasantries, Satana. We'll take that story now. |
| Satana:
|
Fair is fair. The Wrecking Crew were after me because Mephisto hired them.
There. Simple. And now that you've intervened on my behalf, Mephisto will be coming after you. Especially you, Daimon. I think he's got something planned for both of us. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Nobody plans anything for me. |
Epic Boss - Mephisto[]
Reveal[]
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Satana, look. Someone's here to see you. |
| Satana:
|
I knew he wouldn't give up. The Wrecking Crew couldn't handle me and now he's here to bring me back himself. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Bring you back where, exactly? And why? |
| Satana:
|
He wants to use me as sacrificial energy in a ritual to control Blackheart. Okay? That's why I ran to you, and that's why you damn well better help now. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
The last thing in the world you want is Mephisto in charge of Blackheart. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Might not be the last...but yeah, that wouldn't be good.
So, Daimon and Satana? You guys are siblings. You should have more open lines of communication. That would save us all a lot of trouble. |
Start[]
| Hello, my girl. You're picking the wrong side in all this, you know. | Mephisto:
|
| Satana:
|
What I'm doing is opting out. You and Blackheart settle your own feud. Don't drag me in. |
| You were in when you were born with demon blood. There is no opting out. Now choose. It is not too late. | Mephisto:
|
| Satana:
|
It's too late for you. We got rid of the Wrecking Crew. Venom's eating demons all over San Francisco. And you're not just chasing me anymore. You're fighting me and Daimon, and Strange, and... |
| Yes, yes. Quite an eye-catching alliance of convenience. Allow me to express my admiration for your self-preservation instinct.
But now let us drop this charade. Accompany me or be destroyed. All demonkind is called to choose. |
Mephisto:
|
Repeat[]
| Satana:
|
I told you before. I'm going nowhere with you. |
Complete[]
| Satana:
|
He'll be back. Mephisto never forgets a slight, and he never gives up on something he thinks should be his. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Problem is, he thinks everything should be his. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Right now let's focus on what's in front of us. We're still in San Francisco, and it's still full of demons. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Blackheart is at large and we didn't bring in either Taskmaster or the Hood. I'd say we've got plenty to worry about. Add Mephisto to the list. |
Mission Complete[]
| Nick Fury:
|
All right. If Mephisto wants Satana, we'll do everything we can to keep her away from him. Satana, you're proving useful in a fight. Can we count on you? |
| Satana:
|
To do what? |
| Nick Fury:
|
To not turn back on us and go gallivanting off with Mephisto when you find it convenient again. |
| Satana:
|
Well, I can promise you this. As long as Mephisto wants to ritually consume what's left of my soul, I'm on your side.
After that... well, I am half succubus. I've offered about all I can. |
| Nick Fury:
|
It'll do for the moment. Now maybe we should get out there and keep Earth from being overrun by demons. |
Special Operations - Sins of the Fathers: Mission 3 - Heart of Darkness[]
Mission Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
We're seeing HYDRA troops everywhere again. Doesn't take a genius to figure that Taskmaster is in the middle of them somewhere. |
| Nick Fury:
|
On the other front in this little war, Blackheart has been using portals near to San Francisco more often. We've got occult sensitives tracking him.
Sooner or later he's going to show himself. He has to. If he's going to take on Mephisto, he's got to be seen doing it to get the respect of the demonic hordes. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Mordo is the wild card. He did the dirty work bringing Blackheart back. |
| Tony Stark:
|
That should put him in Mephisto's crosshairs, but demons double-cross like it's an Olympic sport. Any sign of him? |
| Satana:
|
I'll go looking. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Me too. |
| Tony Stark:
|
You kids. So competitive. While you're out there running around, we'll be using Dr. Strange's fancy occult countermeasures to shut the portals.
Someone's got to work around here. |
Mini-Boss - Baron Mordo[]
Reveal[]
| Maria Hill:
|
We're making good progress with Strange's portal enchantments. They're closing fast. Pretty soon we'll be able to limit Blackheart's movements. |
| Satana:
|
I was looking for Mephisto, but ran into Baron Mordo instead. A little help? |
| Nick Fury:
|
Clear out of there, Satana. Let's not take any extra chances with Mephisto's plans for you. Your brother's on the way. |
Start[]
| Satana:
|
I can take him. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Nope. Get out of here. |
| Ah, bickering siblings. Makes me miss Pandemonium a little less. | Baron Mordo:
|
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
You're headed back there soon enough. |
Angel:
|
Well said, Hellstrom. But let me take care of it. |
| A pretend angel? You play a dangerous game, for my devilish side is all too genuine. | Baron Mordo:
|
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Plus, who asked you? This isn't an X-Men fight. |
| Angel:
|
Well, that would be S.H.I.E.L.D. command who asked me, Daimon. You and your sister are getting too emotional. |
| What a grand drama! But I have a meeting to attend... | Baron Mordo:
|
| Angel:
|
Not quite yet. |
Complete[]
| Please accept my regrets. I hear Blackheart, and must away to meet him. | Baron Mordo:
|
| Tony Stark:
|
"Must away"? Mordo must have taken a Shakespeare class at Evil Magic University. |
| Maria Hill:
|
What does he mean, he hears Blackheart? Do we have any sightings of Blackheart in this area? |
| Nick Fury:
|
All kinds of them. The problem has been getting him to stay in one place. |
| Satana:
|
I'll follow Mordo. He'll lead us to Blackheart. You want to send along any more X-Men to watch over us? |
| Nick Fury:
|
That won't be necessary. Angel has other obligations. |
| Angel:
|
No offense intended, Satana. Just an expression of support from the X-Men. |
Boss - Blackheart[]
Reveal[]
| Nick Fury:
|
We have successfully limited portals enough to keep Blackheart in this area... at least for long enough that we can engage him directly. Hellstrom, are you available? |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Available? Let me check my calendar. Ummm, yeah. Sure. I can make the time. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Good. If you can force him back through the portal, we might be able to close the last ones down and trap him -- at least temporarily -- on another plane. |
| Satana:
|
Or you could just kill him. Then Mephisto wouldn't want to drain my soul. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Sure he would. He'd just come up with another reason. Everyone wants to drain your soul, Sis. You inspire murderous rage. It's what you're good at. |
Complete[]
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Shut the portal! Now! |
| Tony Stark:
|
It's the last one around here... Dr. Strange is on it ... |
| Maria Hill:
|
Yes! It's closed. Blackheart is banished. Hellstrom, are you still there? |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Yeah. I'm here. |
| Satana:
|
So am I. So are some stray demons and a HYDRA goon or two. |
| Maria Hill:
|
We'll get mop-up operations started. Confirm Blackheart is gone? |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Yeah. He's gone. So is Mephisto. We'll have to do some quiet reconnaissance in some of the demonic realms to see how their dispute is progressing. |
Special Operations - Game On: Mission 3 - The Gathering (Hero Side)[]
Mini-Boss - Satana[]
Reveal[]
| Is my brother here? I can smell him. | Satana:
|
Nico Minoru:
|
Who cares? You might want family melodrama, but I think Arcade will probably incinerate us or something if we don't fight. |
| Teenagers. Always in such a rush. | Satana:
|
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Don't sweat it, Nico. I got this one. |
| Well, what do you know about that? A surprise guest: the Son of Satan himself, Daimon Hellstrom!
Well, technically the Son of Marduk Kurios, but that doesn't roll off the tongue quite the same way. To the sibling squabble! |
Arcade:
|
Start[]
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
So here we are. Just like old times. All that's missing is dear old dad conniving to set us against each other. |
| And here I thought you'd just attack me pitilessly, with all the demonic rage your dual nature creates. | Satana:
|
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
You're talking about yourself, right? Even if you win, you lose. And anyway, against me you're not going to win. |
| I see what you did there. Loosen me up, insult me, console me all at once. Smooth, Daimon...if I was eight years old. | Satana:
|
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
So smooth you can't stop it, even if you do see it coming. |
Lose[]
| Maybe now you'll drop the douchebag big-brother act. | Satana:
|
Special Operations - Game On: Mission 3 - The Gathering (Villain Side)[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
I say we turn the demon problem into an advantage. They would be just as satisfied with Arcade's blood as with ours, as long as we could persuade them. |
| Ghost Rider:
|
You think if we flip their allegiance, we can take Arcade down? I never figured you were an optimist. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
It might turn them against him for long enough to let us escape. Satana, up for using a little of your demonic charm? |
| Ghost Rider:
|
I'll come along to cover her. |
| Satana:
|
Protect me? That isn't very Spirit-of-Vengeance-y. |
| Ghost Rider:
|
More of us stay alive, better chance to get out. Just math. |
Complete[]
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Did they make a deal with the Devil's Daughter? |
| Satana:
|
In a word: no. They would have eaten me alive, but Ghost Rider was as good as his word. |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
A quality fewer possess than claim, to be sure. |
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Satana:
|
I'm sorry, but if we're worried about our own lives, who cares if a bunch of civilians get greased? |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Sis, I'm ethically challenged sometimes, but you're in another league when it comes to being callous. |
Complete[]
| Satana:
|
Okay. Now those poor poor innocents are saved from Robot Spiral. Are we going to keep on following them around? |
| Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Nope. No babysitting now. Everyone head for the exits individually, and don't expect any help. |
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Satana:
|
There always seem to be more of these demons appearing. Wonder if Arcade is holding open a portal...does he have some kind of deal with Mephisto? |
| Ghost Rider:
|
Or Baron Mordo? |
| Satana:
|
If so, it's probably down in the subway tunnels, because that's where the demons are coming from. Let's check it out. |
Mini-Boss - Daimon Hellstrom[]
Start[]
| Satana:
|
Daimon, nobody can open portals out of here. |
| The point is for us to kill each other, sis. Pretty soon someone smarter than Arcade will figure out a way to crack the barrier, but until then...
...the only people who get out are the people Arcade lets out. |
Daimon Hellstrom:
|
| Satana:
|
Then I guess I just have to kill you and see if your soul...I forget, do you still have one?...can find its way through this super impermeable barrier and get wherever it's going. |
| Interesting idea. I'll try the same with you. | Daimon Hellstrom:
|
Complete[]
| Satana:
|
You can drop the smartass big brother act now. |
| I fear you have done enough damage to his mortal shell that our friend Daimon is incapable of response. | Arcade:
|
| Satana:
|
Serves him right. |
