The Twilight Of The Gods

"Just follow us." The teens told the Overlords. "And watch your step. This place is an abandoned warehouse we're using for our temporary headquarters until the operation starts."

"Let's go then." The Shocker Rider followed the teenagers.

Jack put his hands up defensively. "Oh no. No way. Not doing it. I may be a villain, but I'm an American villain. Sorry guys. You do this thing without me."

"Are you chickening out?" The Shocker Rider grinned at Jack. "This'll be a chance for me to show true justice. SHOCKER justice to this Syndicate."

"American businessman. Is there a way to leave a challenge early?"

Jack shook his head. "No way. I don't do justice. Not even SHOCKER justice, whatever that means."

"I'm being metaphorical." The Shocker Rider sighed.

"Ah man." The basketball-wielding teen was hearing complaints. "I guess these guys aren't gonna do it. But I won't let PANDORA do what they want and kill all of us 'cause we're fuckin' different from them!"

"Hell yeah!" The buzzcut teen shouted.

Jack was silent for a bit, before following Shocker Rider. "You know what? I don't care. Just... anything but leaving the challenge early."

-the general faced Jack and Norman-

"For what reason do you find this task reprehensible?"

Azula was standing amongst the others, frowning deeply as she merely observed everything going on around her. She seemed in a slightly more surly mood than usual. "What are we supposed to be accomplishing here?"

-Norman explains 9/11 to Zod-

The All-Lair continued to change to fit its new inhabitant as the lights seemed to lower down, candles popped up on the walls, and toys started to appear. Dolls, toy soldiers, blocks, and of course the ever popular teddy bear. One such bear sat in front of the door to doom's quarters. This normally wouldn't be a problem except this bear was about 8 feet tall, was missing an arm, and its eye seemed to be falling out.

The teens continued to lead the Overlords deep in the warehouse, which had little lighting.

"It seems we'll be getting our answer really soon."

-Zod listened in silence-

"And...?"

Doom's smile faded to an irritated and nonplussed smirk as he took note of the rapidly-decaying decor and the sudden appearance of a large number of toys. Oh, for Doom's sake...what now? Shall I be forced to contend with the likes of Franklin Richards for the amusement of Centum and his ilk?

The Latverian monarch strode up to his quarters and drew to a halt a short distance from the outsized stuffed bear, folding his arms over his chest as he examined it with a critical eye. "Is there a point to this infantile display?"'' he inquired, raising his voice so that whoever was causing this would hear him.

-Norman sighs-

"And... some terrorists destroyed a famous icon, planned to destroy others and caused millions of deaths! Those towers were close to my company! Harry's class was visiting that day for a school paper or something! I'm lucky none of us were killed in it!"

Azula listened in to the explanation, frowning somewhat as she crossed her arms. She stayed quiet for the moment, although she certainly had an air of confusion about her. She turned to Zod as though to ask him a question, then merely shrugged and rolled her eyes, turning away and looking around some more.

There was another giggle behind the Latverian Monarch and a responce of "Isn't it cool?" If Doom were to turn around he would notice a little girl staring back up at him. She had blond hait with a white cap on her head, tied with a red bow on the side. She was wearing a red dress with white frills and a yellow ascot. The most bizzare part of her apperance were the wing like structures that really shouldn't be wings at all. She looked around and said 'This room is nice to me. All I have to do is ask it for something and it gives it to me. I asked it for toys. You're big and metal so are you a toy soldier? Do you want to play?"

Behind his mask, the Latverian monarch arched his eyebrow as he took in the girl's curious, bejeweled wings and red eyes. Clearly this was no ordinary child; a mutant, perhaps? Silently, he ordered his armour to begin scanning her, in an effort to determine her nature.

"No, child, I am no toy," he replied. Some of the iron had gone out of his voice, his tone softening somewhat as he addressed the child. This did not mean that he had let his guard down, however; if this girl was another pawn of the Nomads, as he suspected, then it was doubtless she possessed potent abilities of some sort...and, if the mutilated appearance of the stuffed animal blocking his door was any indication, her mental stability was of questionable soundness. "Who are you, if I may ask?"

"Here we are guys."

The teens led the Overlords to a a young green-haired child. She was talking to a blonde with glasses, her hair in a bun and was wearing a pantsuit with high heels. with a red-haired man with his left eye close.

The Overlords noted the green-haired child who told the woman and the man to give them a few minutes of time for her to speak with the group after thanking the teens for bringing them to her.

Flandre looked around, curious look on her face. "If you're not a toy, then are you a guest? This is a new room in the mansion, I wonder how Big Sis managed to make this." She said. Dooms scans would come up with incredibly potent ammounts of magic packed into such a tiny form. There did seem to be something interfearing with her magic though. He might also be able to find her vampirism through his scans.

"That is why I hate terrorists," Maleficent said after hearing Osborn's explanations. "The attack came without any warning with no prior message given out for demands, or even an ultimatum, they attacked using commercial aircraft, something that only good for attracting as much attention as possible, they attacked on a day that held no significance beforehand, and from your reaction it only strengthened the moral of the intended target!

"Clearly this 9/11 was committed by suicidal fools driven purely by...." She shuddered. "Religious frevor....with absolutely no forethought, no finnese, and worst of all, no intended real intended gain! Anyone that stupid are deserving of death in the first place....."

Jack looked at Norman. "Wait, when did this happen again? I don't think I remember it."

"So are you Amber?" The Shocker Rider asked the young girl.

"Yes I am." Amber nodded. "And don't be fooled by this appearance. I aged younger like this due to my payment as a Contractor after using my powers." She looked at the Overlords. "May I ask who's the leader of your group?"

@Jack "One year ago in my world. September 11th 2001."

@Maleficent "Well the man running it is supported by the Taliban. A extremely fervent and fundamentalist branch of a religion called Islam."

@Osborn: "Pathetic. I hate villains driven entirely by religion, using their God as an excuse to what deeds they commit. Utter hypocrisy...."

@Amber: "We are currently working that out among ourselves," Maleficent said, walking up the seemingly young child. "So tell, which demon did you have a contract with? Vassago? Shax? Furcas?"
