Chapter 3 - Enter Doom: Mission 3 - RAID-ical Resolution[]
Mini-Boss - Bulldozer[]
Start[]
| Oh, the big bad US Army. I coulda been in the Army. I'da been a general by now. | Bulldozer:
|
War Machine:
|
It’s been a long time since the Army took semiliterate malcontents, Bulldozer. You're obsolete. |
| Oh yeah? Let's see what's obsolete about my fist in your face! | Bulldozer:
|
Repeat[]
| Still think I'm obsolete? | Bulldozer:
|
| War Machine:
|
I'm here to make sure of it. |
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
Bulldozer’s never going to make general running like that. |
Maria Hill:
|
Lock down the area, Agent. The RAID soldiers are still getting orders from somewhere. |
Boss - Fixer[]
Start[]
| War Machine:
|
Fixer, is that you or are you running a robot? I want to know whether I should expect wires or bones when I take you apart. |
| The tinkering is its own reward, Colonel Rhodes. I’d hate to spoil the surprise for either of us.
When you come apart, I won’t complain about finding bones. |
Fixer:
|
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
Fixer’s abandoned this construct. He was running it by remote. |
Nick Fury:
|
Tony, are you picking up anything around here that could be his real location? |
Tony Stark:
|
No. Iso-8’s so concentrated inside the UN complex that the instruments are giving me gibberish. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Damn. Well, RAID is falling back and we’ve kept them from getting the Iso-8. Recovery teams are going in. Good work, Agent.
You too, Rhodey. |
Chapter 5 - Gods & Monsters: Premium Mission: Hydra Assemble![]
Mini-Boss - Bowman[]
Start[]
| Target practice. | Bowman:
|
| War Machine:
|
This target shoots back. |
| Only until it's dead. | Bowman:
|
Repeat[]
| Target... | Bowman:
|
| War Machine:
|
...re-acquired. |
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
Bowman is down. We've held onto his equipment. |
| Maria Hill:
|
We've got a dropship on the way to pick it up. Rhodey, mind escorting it in? |
| War Machine:
|
On my way. |
Mini-Boss - Hammer[]
Reveal[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Ersatz Avenger Number Two is Hammer.
Does Hydra think Iso-8 can turn a clone into a Norse god of thunder? |
| Nick Fury:
|
Who knows? Maybe it can. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Don't get mystical on me, Nick. I'll start to think you're a clone too. |
| War Machine:
|
Agent, War Machine here. All systems go. |
Start[]
| Forsooth! Dar'st thou face the might of Hammer? | Hammer:
|
| War Machine:
|
Are you kidding me with that lingo? Nobody ever talked like that. |
| Thou art bold, yet in boldness lie the seeds of a mighty fall. | Hammer:
|
Lose[]
| The coward learns too late the virtues of courage. | Hammer:
|
| War Machine:
|
The windbag learns too late the virtues of shutting the hell up. |
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
Did Hydra clone a bunch of bad Shakespearean actors? That was painful. |
| Nick Fury:
|
You got the hammer? |
| War Machine:
|
I got it. Come get it. Agent, we got two more. |
Boss - Militant/Tactical Force[]
Start[]
| S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers cannot stand against Hydra! | Militant:
|
| War Machine:
|
I'm standing right here. Do something about it. |
| Your odds of winning are zero. Surrender. | Tactical Force:
|
| War Machine:
|
You think I flew all this way to surrender? |
| Hail Hydra! | Militant:
|
| War Machine:
|
Man, am I sick of hearing that. |
Repeat[]
| Your odds of winning are zero. Cut off one head-- | Tactical Force:
|
| War Machine:
|
Yeah, I know. Let me cut off the heads and find out for myself. |
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
We are four-for-four on fake Avengers rendered inoperative. |
| Maria Hill:
|
A hot streak, War Machine.
Agent, bring Militant's shield to the Helicarrier. We'll pick up Tactical Force and remove the suit. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Let's get this mopped up so the UN can get back to doing whatever it does. |
Chapter 8 - Dark Rites: Mission 4 - Quis Custodiet[]
Mission Start[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Curiouser and curiouser. Magneto appears to be getting cold feet about starting more mutant riots.
He must read the blogs. Things have gotten out of hand, even for him. Now he's got Sentinels marching out of the Hudson docks to put down the riots. But as we learned the hard way, Sentinels are blunt instruments. They're putting down the riots, all right, but they're doing lots of other damage too. We need to get them under control. War Machine's in the field with you. |
| War Machine:
|
Scouting the Intrepid area now, Agent. I'll meet up with you. |
Mini-Boss - Prime Sentinel(s)[]
Reveal[]
| War Machine:
|
Riots are dying down because everyone's too afraid of the Sentinels.
These here are Prime-class. I've seen them before. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Not with Iso-8 enhancements, you haven't. Watch your six. |
Start[]
| War Machine:
|
I'm going in. |
Repeat[]
| War Machine:
|
Iso-8 or no, this ends now. |
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
Prime-class Sentinels, rendered nonfunctional as ordered. Mr. Stark. Sir. |
| Tony Stark:
|
If I didn't know you to be a man lacking a sense of humor, Rhodey, I'd think you were making fun of me. |
Boss - Omega Sentinel[]
Reveal[]
| War Machine:
|
Now these I haven't seen before. Tony, my readings are calling out "Omega-class Sentinel". What the hell are those? |
| Tony Stark:
|
New, is what they are. They're only in the database because they're mentioned in lab research we recovered.
Leave enough big pieces so we can learn something, if you don't mind. |
Mission Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Let's get these robots back to the Helicarrier for a little analysis and reverse engineering.
We need to see what Magneto's doing with Iso-8. |
| War Machine:
|
Then we need to steal the good stuff. |
| Tony Stark:
|
You wound me, sir. Stark does not steal. It adapts and innovates. |
| War Machine:
|
Po-tay-to, po-tah-to. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Either way, I think S.H.I.E.L.D. had used Sentinels for the last time. |
Chapter 6 - When Opportunity Knocks: Mission 1 - Unknown Intel[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Rhodey, we're looking at a small-scale war brewing here between A.I.M. and the Circle of 8. How about you make an appearance and shut it down? |
| War Machine:
|
With prejudice. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Exactly. |
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
The situation is under control. |
| Tony Stark:
|
That's what we like to hear. |
Chapter 6 - When Opportunity Knocks: Mission 3 - Dark Complications[]
Heroic Battle[]
Start[]
Ares:
|
So. You call yourself War Machine. |
| War Machine:
|
I didn't at first, but yeah. Now I'm kind of used to it. |
| Ares:
|
I have seen war machines in every human age and tested myself against them. |
| War Machine:
|
Are you saying what I think you're saying? |
| Ares:
|
It's your turn. |
Repeat[]
| War Machine:
|
You can't have my suit. It was a gift. |
| Ares:
|
It will be a trophy. |
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
So. I call myself War Machine. |
| Ares:
|
It is a name you have earned, James Rhodes. Let us spill blood together sometime. |
Special Operations - Ghost in the Machine: Mission 1 - The Big Brains[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Rhodey, we need a little extra muscle moving A.I.M. out of the way here. They're moving through the neighborhood blowing transformers to try to shut down Pym's lab. |
| War Machine:
|
I'll bring my own personal blackout. |
| Tony Stark:
|
That's what I was hoping you'd say, pal. |
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
All set, Tony. I hit the kill switch on that little operation. |
| Tony Stark:
|
I knew I could count on you. You're so trustworthy you make me feel bad about myself. |
| War Machine:
|
Oh, good. It's working. |
Special Operations - Extremis: Mission 2 - Colder War[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
Iron Man:
|
Rhodey, we need you to take the Iron Patriot armor out for a shakedown cruise. Just to see if you like it. |
| War Machine:
|
Oh, I can tell I'm going to like it. |
| Iron Man:
|
Me too. Also I need you to strafe an A.I.M. Power Armor repair facility. Piping you the location now. |
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
Yep. I was right. I like it. It strafes real good. |
| Iron Man:
|
Excellent. Let's get it back on the gantry in the lab so I can do a last few things to it before I send this little baby out into the world. |
Mini-Boss - Exoskeletal Battletank[]
Reveal[]
| Maria Hill:
|
A detachment of A.I.M. Power Armor is staging here for an assault. Let's hit them before they hit us.
Be careful. Who knows what kind of upgrades A.I.M. might have installed... |
| War Machine:
|
Nothing I can't handle. I'll fly escort. |
Start[]
| You're going down! | Exoskeletal Battletank:
|
| War Machine:
|
Not unless you brought along an asteroid, pal. |
Mini-Boss - Sentinels[]
Complete[]
Rescue:
|
Yes! We did it! |
| Iron Man:
|
I never doubted you. Rhodey, did you doubt her? |
| War Machine:
|
Heck no. She's had plenty of practice. |
| Iron Man:
|
Yeah... wait, what? |
| War Machine:
|
Uh... hoo boy. |
| Rescue:
|
Rhodey!
I practice with your old suits when you're not around, Tony. Rhodey's been helping. |
| Iron Man:
|
What?! |
| Rescue:
|
I drive your cars, too. |
| Iron Man:
|
My cars!? Now that's over the line. Remind me to fire you when this is all over. |
Special Operations - Apocalypse: Mission 2 - A Team Divided (San Francisco)[]
Mini-Boss - Blob[]
Start[]
| War Machine:
|
I hear nobody can move you if you don't want to be moved. |
| That's about the size of it. Yuk yuk. | Blob:
|
| War Machine:
|
Then I'll just have to knock you out where you stand. Maybe we'll build a jail around you. |
| Nobody's built one yet that can hold me. Not even Max-X. | Blob:
|
| War Machine:
|
Next time's always the charm. |
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
Well, he isn't going anywhere, but at least now we can go around him. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Thanks, Rhodey. Let's move, team. Rogue's in trouble. |
Special Operations - Apocalypse: Mission 3 - Rumble of Distant Hooves (Wakanda)[]
Mission Start[]
Black Panther:
|
The Horseman of War has come to Wakanda. |
| Maria Hill:
|
That's why we're here, T'Challa. |
| Black Panther:
|
It appears that Sentinels have come to seize this Horseman as well, and while Sentinels roam Wakanda, no mutant is safe. |
| War Machine:
|
We'll handle the Sentinels, and we'll handle X-23. Least we can do. |
Havok:
|
I'll set up a perimeter and engage Sentinels as I find them. X-23 was never known for patience. She'll strike sooner rather than later. |
| Black Panther:
|
Then we will be ready sooner rather than later. |
Boss - War[]
Reveal[]
| Maria Hill:
|
X-23 is attacking! She just shredded a pair of Sentinels and now she's going through the Wakandan army.
Rhodey, engage immediately. There's going to be a massacre out there. |
| War Machine:
|
Oh, no, there isn't. |
Start[]
| They call you War Machine. Let's see if you're worthy of the word War. I don't think you are.
Real war is not fought with machines. Real war is fought face to face, with the smell of the enemy's blood in your nose and the red of it on your hands. |
War:
|
| War Machine:
|
Being a Horseman has made you a little bit grandiose, girl. Let's see you back it up. |
Repeat[]
| War Machine:
|
Here's a little message for you to take back to Apocalypse. |
Complete[]
| War Machine:
|
She's gone. I hit her with everything I had and she didn't stay down. |
| Black Panther:
|
Apocalypse is calling all of the Horsemen together. He showed us their individual strength. Now he will up the stakes and force us to face them as a group.
As soon as the Sentinel threat is fully quelled, I will join you in the fight against Apocalypse. |
