INT. STARK TOWER - DAY
The whole group of heroes is now sitting around Stark Tower, deciding how they’re going to go about this plan. One of the phones in the room rings, and Tony Stark walks over to it. He picks up the receiver.
STARK Hello? Yes, he’s here. We’re discussing something right now. Yeah.
Stark takes the receiver away from his head.
STARK It’s for you, Colonel Fury.
Fury takes the receiver from him.
FURY Fury here. Yeah? Really? Sounds like fun. Yeah, we’ll take care of it.
Fury hangs up.
FURY Looks like we’ve got ourselves our first mission.
STARK Does it now?
FURY Yes, yes it does. We’ll be defending a SHIELD Hellicarrier from intruders, consisting of Radioactive Man and I think they said Winter Soldier is also there.
STARK Oh yes. This sounds like it should be so much fun.
FURY I knew you’d like it. So I guess we’ll be leaving now, from what I’ve gathered.
The group sit, just looking around, and Sue Storm finally gets up from next to Reed, where she was sitting silently the whole time.
S. STORM So, what are we waiting for exactly?
REED I’m really not quite sure to be honest with you. We gonna go or not?
FURY I’m thinking. I’m not too sure of who all I want to go yet. I want to go myself, as I’m a huge part of SHIELD, and I kind of want Stark to go over there, because a lot of them love him.
STARK How about you decide, and I’ll get ready to go?
FURY Yeah, go get yourself all set up to get out there.
EXT. TOP OF A HELLICARRIER - THAT NIGHT
Iron Man and Fury are seen on a helipad where their helicopter landed, and Wolverine and Captain America are seen next to them.
FURY You guys ready for this? Should make for interesting fun.
WOLVERINE Yeah it should. Girls, get yourselves ready.
Fury shakes his head.
FURY Alright. I’m gonna go check on some of the guys who are stationed here, making sure that everything is how it was the last time I was here.
CAPTAIN AMERICA Alright. We will take it from here then.
FURY Good. I’m gonna need you all to be very careful. Believe me, this is a hard place to get around.
The heroes don’t go very far when they are surrounded by Death Bots.
WOLVERINE Hey, uh... Am I the only one who has this slight feeling that us getting off of the hellicarrier safely won’t be a simple walk in the park?
CAPTAIN AMERICA No, you aren’t alone my friend.
Iron Man flies up into the air, causing two death bots to run into each other. He shoots one of them with a beam out of his hand, and Captain America throws his shield, causing three more to explode. Iron Man swoops down on the last one, knocking its head off.
WOLVERINE Wow. That was pretty cheap metal.
A random SHIELD agent is seen.
AGENT Yeah, you’d think that Doom would be able to afford some good bots to put together.
Wolverine just gives the agent a look, almost as if he wonders why the agent even bothered to open his mouth, and the agent is seen running off-screen.
IRON MAN Alright. Move on!
The three heroes continue walking, and they get out onto a metal walkway, almost like a catwalk. Captain America looks down, and he sees how high up they are.
WOLVERINE Good thing I’m not afraid of heights.
They start walking across the metal walkway, and Wolverine dives out of the way of a missile. It was shot by a SHIELD agent, but it was aimed at a Death bot. The heroes look at the big fight going on, and they look at each other. They join in on the big fight.
INT. HELICARRIER CONTROL CENTER - THAT MOMENT
Fury is now seen inside the control center of the helicarrier.
FURY What in the hell is that?
Fury points on the radar screen at what looks to be something almost a quarter of the size of the helicarrier. It is about a half of a mile off, and it is slowly moving toward the center of the radar.
FURY Jesus. That has got to be a quarter of the size of this. We have to get rid of it. It could probably take out the whole ship.
They continue to look at it, and Fury sees Winter Soldier. He shoots at him, and Winter Soldier dives out of the way of Fury’s shot. They look on at each other. Winter Soldier runs off after Fury shoots at him again and misses.
FURY Damn.
EXT. ROOF OF THE HELICARRIER - THAT TIME
The big fight has slowed down, and there are broken Death bots and wounded SHIELD agents all over the ground. The group of heroes moves on slowly, Wolverine limping slightly. They go into a huge hole in the wall, and there they see Radioactive Man and Winter Soldier standing right next to each other.
WOLVERINE Jesus! We just can’t catch a break, can we? 5 seconds is all that I want without fighting, just for a short rest!
Winter Soldier jumps over, kicking Wolverine in the temple, and sending him to the ground. Captain America and Iron Man both move in on Radioactive Man, but nothing that they do has an effect. Winter Soldier tries shooting some things at Iron Man, but Iron Man flies up in the air, and the things that are thrown hit Radioactive Man in the head, sending him backward into a wall. He falls forward, and Captain America throws his shield at Winter Soldier, knocking him onto his face.
CAPTAIN AMERICA Haha. Not so tough now, are we?
Iron Man drops down and shoots a beam out of his hand, shining it in Radioactive Man’s face. It doesn’t do any damage, but Radioactive Man can’t see, and he starts moving backward toward a ledge. He is about to fall off when Winter Soldier shoots some ice at Iron Man, knocking him down to the ground from twenty feet in the air where he was. Wolverine is slowly getting to his feet, and Winter Soldier is fighting Captain America. They are throwing punches at each other, and Wolverine walks over behind Winter Soldier. He wraps his arms around Winter Soldier’s neck, choking him. Winter Soldier passes out, and Wolverine rolls him off the ledge, sending him plummeting out of sight.
WOLVERINE Got one down.
Wolverine kicks Radioactive Man, who is still down, and Radioactive Man also falls, shocked by the kick.
CAPTAIN AMERICA That’s the end of them.
Iron Man is sitting up, rubbing the back of his helmet.
STARK (Thinking to himself) Wow, that shit hurt.
Iron Man gets up, and he looks at the other two.
WOLVERINE Man, you alright? You took a huge shot a minute ago.
Iron Man nods, signaling that he is fine, and the three of them move on, right through an automatic door.
INT. EMPTY ROOM - THAT TIME
Fury is now seen in a pretty empty room, the only thing in the room is the control panel to an elevator. He is talking to another SHIELD agent about how to get rid of whatever is coming toward them.
FURY All I’m saying is that I’m not feeling so secure with something that size coming at us that quick. It could hit us pretty hard, and I
FURY think it could be very dangerous to the health of everyone on this ship.
AGENT Well, I don’t know. I mean--
The whole ship shakes and a beam that is supporting a rafter falls, falling on top of the agent. The three heroes walk in at that exact moment.
FURY Good. You guys are here. I could use your help right about now. Can one of you please get this damn pole off this guy?
Captain America walks over and lifts the beam up, throwing it into a wall, leaving a dent in the wall as the beam falls down to the floor. Wolverine kicks the agent, and the agent doesn’t move.
WOLVERINE Yeah, I’d say he’s dead.
Fury leans down and puts his hand on the guy’s throat, checking for a pulse.
FURY Nope... Knocked out though. Nothing too severe... At least, I don’t think it’s too severe.
Fury gets back up to his feet.
FURY So, I saw Winter Soldier here. He got away.
CAPTAIN AMERICA We have Winter Soldier taken care of. We’re very sure of it. We threw him off of a ledge. He plummeted, a long way.
FURY Good. What about Radioactive Man?
CAPTAIN AMERICA The same.
FURY Good. That leaves Bullseye. And there is something else coming toward the ship. We don’t know what it is, but it’s huge.
IRON MAN We’ll take care of whatever it is. That’s what we’re here for.
FURY I knew I could count on you, Stark.
Fury gives a salute to the heroes, and they go off their separate ways. The heroes go down an elevator shaft, and they’re in the middle of a room. They can’t see anything, but they know that it can’t be good, wherever they are.
WOLVERINE Do either of you girls know where we are?
CAPTAIN AMERICA I do not have the slightest of a guess at where we are. Other than the obvious fact of a SHIELD Helicarrier.
WOLVERINE Well, duh.
CAPTAIN AMERICA Yeah, other than that... Not a clue.
The lights that are already extremely dim black out, and they can hear the electric devices on the helicarrier shut off.
WOLVERINE And there’s the power shortage.
There is a huge bump. The three heroes fall over.
WOLVERINE What the...
A huge hole gets busted in the wall, leading to the outside. Right outside the whole is Bullseye.
WOLVERINE Oh God.
Bullseye walks through the huge hole into the room, and the three heroes quickly get to their feet. "White Knuckles" by Alter Bridge plays, and the three get ready to fight.
BULLSEYE You’re never going to last. Not even teamed up, fighting me at the same time.
WOLVERINE I guess we’ll have to wait and find that one out, right?
Wolverine looks Bullseye in the face and his claws come out. He tries slashing at Bullseye’s face, but Bullseye ducks out of the way. The fight continues to go on.
INT. CONTROL CENTER - SAME TIME
Fury is in the control center again, the unconscious SHIELD agent laying on a couch in the room.
FURY Do you know what that... thing... is yet, and how far away is it?
AGENT Well, it’s about a mile away. It should be here in a matter of minutes. And we do have photographs of it. It seems to be some sort of dragon.
FURY Dragon? Get the pictures on the screen. Now!
They hurry and the pictures show up. Fury’s jaw drops, and the scene is quiet.
AGENT Sir? Is something wrong?
FURY Fin Fang Foom.
AGENT Pardon?
FURY Nothing. It’s something that Stark needs to know about immediately.
FURY Excuse me gentlemen, I will be right back. Watch him for me.
Fury points to the now barely conscious SHIELD agent on the couch.
AGENT Yes sir.
Fury leaves the room.
INT. FIGHT - SAME TIME
Wolverine and Bullseye are throwing punches, and Captain America is down on one knee, holding his nose, which has blood dripping from it. Iron Man was sent through a wall, and stands up.
STARK (To Himself) Damn. I’m just taking a beat down today.
Iron Man jumps up in the air over a shot that Bullseye took after him, and Iron Man is now hovering. He shoots a ball of fire, hitting Bullseye in the back of the head with it. Wolverine slashes, cutting off Bullseye’s nose, and then he kicks him in the groin. Captain America throws his shield, smacking Bullseye in the face with it. Wolverine finishes the job when the camera is facing Captain America, looking slightly disturbed by what he is seeing. Fury comes through one of the holes in the wall.
FURY Damn. This damage is going to be very expensive to fix.
Fury is looking at all the holes, and ripped up cords, and downed beams in the room.
FURY Tornado run through here?
WOLVERINE Well, kinda.
FURY Where’s Stark?
Wolverine points to Iron Man, who is sitting down, resting from that fight.
FURY Hey, Stark. We got trouble.
Iron Man sits, looking at Fury
FURY Fin Fang Foom is on his way here. You guys might want to think about sort of, uh... Getting up to the top of this again so you can fight him. He could do some serious damage, and in a worst case scenario, he could wreck the whole damn helicarrier.
CAPTAIN AMERICA We’ve got this under control.
FURY Good. I’d hate to see this go down because we screwed up something huge.
There is another huge bump and they all about fall over.
FURY He’s landed. Go you guys. Go!
The three heroes go running off.
INT. STARK TOWER - THAT SAME TIME
The Fantastic Four and Johnny Blaze are all looking around Stark Tower.
J. STORM Man, this guy has so much awesome stuff.
REED Don’t touch anything.
J. STORM Why not?
REED Because you don’t know how much any of it is worth.
J. STORM What’s your point?
REED You break it and you’re going to have to pay for it. I can guarantee you that.
J. STORM Is he that stuck up? The guy’s like, a quadrillionaire.
S. STORM Is that even a word?
REED No.
J. STORM How do you know it isn’t a word? You some kind of human dictionary or something?
REED Did I say that?
S. STORM Can you guys stop fighting? I’m tired of this, and you have just started like, 5 seconds ago.
REED Yeah. We’re done. Don’t worry about it.
SUE Good.
Johnny Storm sits down, and they all look at each other. Redd looks out the window.
REED I wonder when they’ll be back.
EXT. ROOF OF THE HELICARRIER - 5 MINUTES LATER
The three are on the roof of the helicarrier, and right there, there is an anti-aircraft turret.
CAPTAIN AMERICA Good thing that that’s there. We’re gonna need it.
WOLVERINE I got it.
Wolverine gets himself all set up on the turret, and Fin Fang Foom is seen flying nearby. Wolverine shoots at him, missing.
WOLVERINE Hmm. He’s quick. I’m quicker.
Captain America and Iron Man are standing there watching this, and Iron Man falls forward. Right behind him is a huge death bot, which has to be 9 feet tall.
CAPTAIN AMERICA Oh my. That is not a good sight at all.
Wolverine shoots again, but misses once again, this time getting closer than he did last time. Iron Man and Captain America are fighting the death bot, but they aren’t getting very far.
CAPTAIN AMERICA This guy is tough to beat.
The death bot swings his arm and sends Iron Man falling. Iron Man falls off the end and is seen plummeting. The camera stays, and Iron Man can be seen falling until he is no longer seen.
CAPTAIN AMERICA No!
Captain America starts punching the death bot, but no damage is done. The death bot punches Captain America in the face, and Captain America slides across the ground. Wolverine shoots Fin Fang Foom in the wing, and Fin Fang Foom drops a few feet.
WOLVERINE Now I got you.
The death bot is about to stomp on Captain America when electricity can be seen running through it. It falls forward, and behind it, Iron Man is hovering, his arm extended forward.
CAPTAIN AMERICA I thought you had fallen.
Iron Man drops down, and Wolverine shoots Fin Fang Foom again. This time he hits him in the head, and Fin Fang Foom plummets until he can no longer be seen, as Iron Man did earlier.
WOLVERINE About time. Freaking piece of...
A helicopter is seen hovering above the helicarrier, and a rope ladder drops out of it. Fury is seen leaning out of the side of the helicopter, signaling for the three to climb up it.
INT. STARK TOWER - NEXT DAY
The heroes are all seen at Stark Tower the next day, celebrating their first successful mission.
STARK Also, I have some news for you all. We’ve gotten a new information agent. Everybody welcome The Vision.
VISION I’m glad to be here with you all, and I hope to be of some sort of assistance while I’m here.
LOGAN Great. We have a computer to talk to the computers for us.
Stark gives Logan a look telling him to knock it off. A few seconds later, Fury then walks through the door, not very happy at all.
STARK What seems to be the problem, Fury?
FURY Not much Stark. Just a few problems with the Masters of Evil.
REED What are they up to now? Seriously. Didn’t we just get rid of some of them?
FURY Yes. We got rid of three of them and Fin Fang Foom. We aren’t sure if he was with them or not, as he came separately.
STARK Well, if I was to wager a guess, I would say he was with them. He’s not human, but he’s not stupid, and he knows that Doom is very powerful. I think that he figured it would be an easy way to get rid of me.
J. STORM Well, he was dead wrong.
LOGAN I’d say. It didn’t take too mighty long to take him out. The only problem was his speed, so firing was a little off. I had to aim ahead of him to hit him.
FURY Yeah. That’s nice. But we have something else to do.
J. STORM Please! Tell me that we’re gonna be able to do something! I’m getting so sick of sitting around here doing nothing, while you guys go out kicking the crap out of other people.
FURY Don’t worry, Johnny. You’ll get your chance to fight. We don’t need you quite yet.
J. STORM Jesus! I’m about to just drop the hell out right now!
FURY Cool your jets son. We’ve got some serious work to do. Stark, I need you to take a few friends to the SHIELD Omega Base.
STARK What’s going on there?
FURY Well, AIM has officially broken in and are attempting to take over. As far as we are aware, they have unleashed an army of mutated Super Soldiers who the serum didn’t work correctly on.
STARK Any more details at all on what’s going on?
FURY Yes. MODOK and Mysterio are leading them. Dum Dum Dugan is there. He needs help finding Bruce Banner, who is trying to figure out how to get rid of the Super Soldiers there, and we need to keep a computer safe.
J. STORM A computer?
FURY Yes. Stored inside this computer, and this computer alone, is the cure for the condition that all mutants are almost inevitably going to get.
LOGAN Yes. It is a very bad problem, and I haven’t gotten the vaccine yet, so... Keep that thing safe.
S. STORM Tell me that we are going to be able to help somehow.
STARK Yes. You four and Silver Surfer will be coming with me.
J. STORM Thank God. I thought that we would never be able to do anything.
BLAZE Am I coming, too?
FURY Everyone else will be with me. We are going back to the UNN Alpha, just to make sure everything is back to normal. I’ll be needing the rest of you just in case it isn’t, and the Masters of Evil are still there somewhere.
BLAZE Alright, that works too, I guess.
STARK So, are you five ready yet, or are we going to need some time for you to get set.
REED We’ll be ready in a few minutes.
STARK I’ll be waiting at the Quinjet then.
REED We’ll see you there then.
Tony Stark goes into a back room and Edwin Jarvis walks up to him.
EDWIN Yes, Mr. Stark?
STARK Edwin, I’m going to need the suit.
EDWIN Yes sir.
Edwin walks away, and Tony looks onto the big screen in his lab, where his workers are using technology to build him an upgrade for his suit.
STARK (To himself) It’s great to see my employees hard at work.
EXT. OUTER LEDGE OF OMEGA BASE - THAT NIGHT
Iron Man is seen on a ledge, waiting outside one of the doors to get into the Omega Base. He is impatiently pacing, waiting for the others. Finally, the Fantastic Four are seen coming in toward him on the helicopter that Fury commonly uses. Thing jumps out, landing hard, causing the whole base to shake.
THING Sorry.
The other three come down, followed by Silver Surfer.
MR. FANTASTIC I couldn’t remember if you wanted me to bring him or not, so we brought him.
Iron Man nods, and sees that everyone is there. He puts the hand on his armor on a pad and it starts reading a scan. It takes a while.
THING Here, allow me.
Thing goes next to the door and punches a hole in the wall. The second the hole is there, the door opens.
THING Oops.
They all walk through the door, and Iron Man looks around. He takes a few steps forward, holding his hand back, signaling for the others to stay. He moves forward, and dives to avoid detection. He looks around and waves for the others to come.
HUMAN TORCH La di da...
INVISIBLE WOMAN Shut up. You’re going to get us detected, and then it’s gonna be all downhill from there.
HUMAN TORCH Big deal. I like a challenge.
She sighs and they move forward. Iron Man looks through a window, seeing some Super Soldiers down below. He breaks the window and swoops down, hitting one in the back of the head and knocking it out. He is then punched in the stomach by another one. There are four remaining, and he is getting beat by all of them. Thing breaks through the wall around the broken window.
THING Get off of him!
Thing dives down, hitting another one into a wall, knocking that one out as well.
HUMAN TORCH Wow. That was a nice shot.
The two stand there, watching Iron Man, Thing, and now Silver Surfer fighting the Super Soldiers. They are seen by some of the Super Soldiers.
HUMAN TORCH Uh-oh.
INVISIBLE WOMAN Have fun.
Invisible Woman turns invisible, and now they are looking up at just Human Torch. He dives down, now on fire, and singes the hair of one of the Super Soldiers. He has a cocky grin and looks back. He flies into a wall, and hits the ground, landing headfirst.
HUMAN TORCH (In Pain) Ow. That can’t be good. I think I may have broke something.
Iron Man shoots the last Super Soldier with a fireball, sending it to the ground, laying lifeless. Him and Thing start looking around.
THING Where’s Sue?
HUMAN TORCH Ow! What about me?
MR. FANTASTIC What about you?
HUMAN TORCH I’m in pain!
MR. FANTASTIC And your point is?
INVISIBLE WOMAN I’m right here.
She becomes visible and everyone looks at her.
INVISIBLE WOMAN Now how about you two stop arguing, and we keep going. Sound good to you? Good, because it works for me.
SILVER SURFER I knew I liked that woman for a reason.
Human Torch stands up, holding his head in slight pain.
HUMAN TORCH Could someone at least give me an Advil or something?
REED Sorry, don’t have any.
HUMAN TORCH Nothing?
REED I don’t have anything on me.
Human Torch sighs and they walk out of the room down a long, narrow hallway.
SILVER SURFER We still haven’t run into any AIM troopers yet, either.
HUMAN TORCH Don’t complain, that’s less work that we’re going to have to deal with.
SILVER SURFER Whatever, I was just saying.
A few AIM Troopers bust through a wall with some huge weapons that they have.
HUMAN TORCH Buddy, I think that you may have spoke a bit too soon when you were blabbering off.
IRON MAN Huh?
HUMAN TORCH Yeah, my metal friend, we have ourselves a little bit of company.
IRON MAN Not for long.
Iron Man shoots one long stream of light at them and they are all sent flying in separate directions, just like bowling pins in a lane after getting hit by a ball.
REED Wow. That was amazing, I must admit, Mr. Stark.
They keep going and are stopped again, this time by a pounding on the metal door next to Reed.
HUMAN TORCH What is that?
Crimson Dynamo breaks through the door, and Iron Man sighs.
IRON MAN Not this guy...
THING Who is it?
IRON MAN Crimson Dynamo
DYNAMO We meet again Iron Man. My armor has been upgraded. I shall beat you this time.
HUMAN TORCH We’ll see about that.
Human Torch flies across the room at Crimson Dynamo, but Crimson Dynamo sends a bolt of electricity at him, shocking him, and sending him face first, right into the floor. The base shakes.
INVISIBLE WOMAN What was that?
IRON MAN The base is moving.
INVISIBLE WOMAN Uh-oh.
Crimson Dynamo then sends electricity at Thing, but nothing happens, except Thing getting angry.
THING You just made the biggest and last mistake of your life.
Thing goes over to Crimson Dynamo and kicks him in the stomach, causing the metal to dent and Crimson to double over. Thing then knees him in the face, sending him onto his back. He lays motionless.
IRON MAN I don’t think he’s dead, but let’s get out of here before he wakes up. The sooner we’re done, the better.
They leave the room.
INT. A DARK ROOM - MINUTES LATER
The group is heard above the ceiling of the room that the camera is in. They can be heard walking, when there is a metal sound hitting something, a crack in the floor, and the whole group falls through, except for Silver Surfer, who sort of just lowers himself down after everyone else falls. The room suddenly lights up, and right in front of them is Mysterio.
THING Mysterio.
Just then, Spider-Man is seen swinging through and drops down.
SPIDER-MAN Hey! Why have you decided to join Doom? Honestly?
MYSTERIO Because with my help for him, anything can happen. I can eventually take over for myself, and all of my plans will become complete!
SPIDER-MAN Uh, fish bowl-head, you’re not going to get anywhere.
MYSTERIO Watch what you call me, boy! I’ll have you knocked out right now!
SPIDER-MAN You aren’t man enough to hurt anyone.
MYSTERIO No, but my holograms are!
SPIDER-MAN Huh?
Mysterio then turns himself into three different versions of Mysterio, one being the real one, and two being identical holograms. The group splits up, fighting the three, and you can tell when one is a hologram, because when it is destroyed, another one is regenerated.
THING We have to find which one is the real Mysterio!
INVISIBLE WOMAN And we do that how?
HUMAN TORCH Not a clue, but I’ll find out for us soon enough.
SPIDER-MAN There is now way to tell, we’re just gonna have to fight them until we get rid of the real one!
One of the Mysterios manages to get away and let out a gas, causing the whole group to go into a coughing fit, everybody is blinded, except for Mysterio.
MYSTERIO Find me now!
SPIDER-MAN My Spidey Senses! They’re kicking in, but in a situation like this, they’re useless... UGH!
Spider-Man falls to the ground, suffering from a headache, and Iron Man is thrown against a wall.
IRON MAN Ow!
INVISIBLE WOMAN This is not right. We have got to get this gas out of here!
The gas is slowly disappearing because of the giant whole in the ceiling of the room, but Spider-Man and Iron Man are both unconscious.
THING Help me get these guys!
They all gather up to pick up Spider-Man, and Iron Man starts making his way to his feet. They are starting to run out of the room.
MYSTERIO What’s the matter? You don’t love me, do you? Well guess what... You can’t leave!
Mysterio sends a metal beam to block the door.
MYSTERIO That’s right! Fight me!
Mysterio gets himself set up to fight again and Thing throws one of the beams at Mysterio, knocking him through the wall. When they look out the hole, they see him on the ground, way below.
THING I’d say that we finished him.
SPIDER-MAN Yeah... Definitely. And now I have a migraine headache. Anybody got any pain pills?
HUMAN TORCH Nope. They weren’t smart enough to think that we’d get headaches. Oh well.
SPIDER-MAN Guess I’ll just need to deal with it then.
MR. FANTASTIC When did you get here by the way? I thought that Tony Stark said that you couldn’t help out....
24.
SPIDER-MAN Let’s just say that I found time. It’s a really long story, just.. Don’t ask. I’ll be helping you out every now and then, too.
THING Works for me.
HUMAN TORCH Well, uh... Can we cut the mushy mushy crap and get going? We need to find Dugan and the computer.
INVISIBLE WOMAN Oh yeah! The computer!
SPIDER-MAN What computer?
THING The computer that holds a vaccine for mutants like Logan. We’re making sure that it is safe, that way the mutants do not die out.
Spider-Man nods.
SPIDER-MAN I see.
They all run out of the room as quick as possible.
INT. COMPUTER ROOM - MINUTES LATER
The group is now seen in a large room, a computer nearby. There is nothing seen at all anywhere near the computer, and the heroes just look at it, confused.
THING Odd. There seems to be nothing there to hurt the thing, so I don’t see why we need to protect it.
A huge piece of a wall is thrown at them, and everyone is knocked down by it. Standing on the other side of the hole is a group of Super Soldiers.
SPIDER-MAN Alright, uh... I think I can see where the protection may have been needed.
They all struggle to get to their feet, but afterward, there really isn’t too much of a problem. A super soldier throws a another hunk of a wall at the computer, but Iron Man gets in front of it, and it shatters after hitting him. He jumps into the air, kicking a nearby super soldier in the head. He is then surrounded by them, and the others are focusing on some different enemies.
IRON MAN I could use some help over here.
Nobody responds. Iron Man starts throwing some random kicks, punches, and fireballs, doing what he can to hold of the super soldiers. Finally, Spider-Man gets one caught in a web, and Iron Man catches the web on fire. The super soldier is burned alive, and the other soldiers get out of the way. Human Torch then starts attacking them from behind, and eventually, most of the room is ablaze.
THING Uh-oh. What are we going to do about the computer?
REED All that we can do. Hope like hell that it doesn’t get damaged.
SPIDER-MAN Works for me. Now let’s get ourselves out of here before we end up like those guys!
REED Don’t worry. We won’t burn up.
SPIDER-MAN Well, I think I’d rather not risk it, so I’m leaving anyway.
REED Alright, have it your way. I don’t even know who you are.
SPIDER-MAN Well, I’ll at least let you in on that much. If you really must know, I’m Spider-Man.
Reed gives Spider-Man a look, basically telling Spider-Man that he’s never heard the name before. Fury walks in.
FURY Figured that you guys might need a hand.
Spider-Man looks over at Fury.
SPIDER-MAN Aren’t you Nick Fury?
FURY Yes. Yes I am. And you’re Spider-Man. Welcome to the Avengers, son.
SPIDER-MAN The Avengers?
FURY Yes. You’re one of us now, and you’re helping us in wiping out the Masters of Evil before they take over the universe.
Spider-Man has one thing running through his mind. "What have I gotten myself into?", is the only thing that he can think. There is a loud, sudden pounding, and the group looks around.
FURY What in the world...
Another huge hole is broken into the wall, and water is sprayed, taking out the flames of the super soldiers. When the smoke clears, there are several AIM troopers seen. They charge into the room, and are taken out completely in a matter of seconds.
FURY Wow. That was pretty easy. I guess we really aren’t too bad of a group to have together.
HUMAN TORCH Yeah, whatever. Can we just get out of here? I’m kind of hungry, and I could go for a sandwich or a taco right now.
They all look at him, shaking their heads in disbelief of the small issues that he worries himself about.
FURY We’ll be out in a minute.
They stand there for a second and a huge piece of the wall is broken down, MODOK right in the hole.
MODOK Game over for you guys.
FURY Huh?
MODOK I’m going to be the one to finish you off!
Fury takes a step forward, but there is a barrier that stops him.
FURY There’s some kind of barrier right there!
MODOK That’s right. There is a barrier separating us. You have to answer 5 questions about yourselves correctly before I will let you pass.
FURY About ourselves?
MODOK Yes. See how much you really know, or we’ll just see if I know more about you guys than you do!
FURY Sounds easy enough.
MODOK Good. Here comes the first question.
MODOK looks at them, and they all look back, awaiting the first question that MODOK will be asking the group.
MODOK What is the periodic atomic symbol for gold?
MR. FANTASTIC That’s easy. Au.
MODOK OK. What percentage of the Earth’s atmosphere is oxygen?
MR. FANTASTIC Tw--
MODOK Anyone else care to try?
FURY Twenty-one percent.
MODOK Good, good... What is not a true geological period on Earth?
S. STORM Neoprene.
MODOK You had to have cheated! There is no way that you could have gotten those answers on your own! Prepare to die!
FURY Oh God.
A swarm of AIM troopers come in, and Thing lifts the piece of the wall that was broken down earlier. He throws it at a large group of the troopers, and the others start backing off. Iron Man shoots a bolt of light out of his hand, and it ricochets off of something on the ceiling, coming off and hitting the remaining soldiers.
FURY Wow. That was nice.
MODOK Alright. I have to kill you all by myself then!
MODOK starts coming forward, and Spider-Man jumps on his back. Spider-Man starts beating him in the back, but it doesn’t affect him. Finally, a hole is broken in the roof, and Dugan can be seen in a Quinjet.
DUGAN Get in!
FURY How did you get that? Weren’t you on the base?
DUGAN Yeah, I found it here, and I decided I’d use it to save you!
Wolverine is in the jet, and he lets down the rope. The heroes all climb up the rope into the Quiinjet, and Dugan climbs down.
DUGAN I’d love to come with you, but I have no choice.
Dugan looks down.
DUGAN And MODOK is gone, so I figure I could hurry and get back to my place. I’d say I’m safe.
FURY Alright, Dugan.
Dugan drops down into the base, and the base begins to move off.
SPIDER-MAN Wow! A base on wheels?! SHIELD is brilliant!
FURY Yeah, whatever.
EXT. ATLANTIS - DAY
FURY The next day, we headed off to Atlantis. Our goal: Get rid of Attuma. Needless to say, it was no easy task. I honestly think it was one of the hardest things that we’ve ever done.
Cut to Atlantis. Wolverine is seen fighting Kraken.
FURY Many of us were injured.
Kraken throws Wolverine at Fantastic Four, knocking them all out.
FURY Bottom line: We finished the job, leading us to Mandarin’s Palace.
INT. MANDARIN’S PALACE - NIGHT
Iron Man is seen standing in Mandarin’s Palace, right behind him is Wolverine.
IRON MAN You know what to do, right?
WOLVERINE Yeah. I’m good.
IRON MAN Alright. Fury said to just call if I needed help, so if you think we could use it, just tell me when.
WOLVERINE No problem.
FURY (On Iron Man’s Call) You get there alright?
IRON MAN Yes. We’re alright. I’ll call you back for backup.
FURY You got it.
Iron Man hangs up his call button and looks back at Wolverine.
WOLVERINE So where are we?
IRON MAN We are in the Mandarin’s Palace, which is a huge building, as you’ve seen, in the Valley of Spirits.
WOLVERINE I see.
The two take a few steps and Dragonman is seen. Iron Man shoots at him, blowing him up instantly, and nothing is left.
WOLVERINE Well. That looked pretty easy. I think I might have been able to do that.
They keep walking when they come to a ledge. Wolverine jumps off, landing a few feet down, unharmed. Iron Man then hops down right behind him, where a few stone warriors fight them. As they attack, the warriors are destroyed on impact.
WOLVERINE This mission seems almost too easy.
IRON MAN Don’t say that it’s easy. We’ve just started and I’m sure that Fury only sent us two.
WOLVERINE Uh, because it’s a mission that Johnny Storm could get through?
IRON MAN Or it’s because we’re two of the best in the Alliance?
WOLVERINE I’m not so sure about you...
Iron Man sighs and shakes his head. He turns forward again, looking down a long, dark hallway.
WOLVERINE Wow. That’s pretty dim.
Iron Man turns on a flashlight on his suit, lighting up the hallway ahead of them. A huge door is seen at the end of the hall.
WOLVERINE So we just go through that then?
IRON MAN That would be why it’s there.
WOLVERINE Don’t get testy.
IRON MAN Don’t get stupid.
They run down the hall and are stopped by a huge dark figure. It kicks Wolverine in the head, knocking him into a wall. Wolverine is bleeding from his shoulder, blood all over the place.
WOLVERINE You piece of...
IRON MAN No, not here.
Iron Man throws a fist at the figure, later revealed to be Ultimo. Wolverine’s shoulder heals, and he runs over. He hops on Ultimo’s face, slashing at it.
IRON MAN A creation of the Mandarin himself. Created to be the Mandarin’s guard for situations just like this.
Iron Man shoots something at Ultimo, bursting a hole in its midsection. Ultimo falls over and disintegrates a few seconds later.
WOLVERINE I know that wasn’t the mission, so we better keep going.
They open the door and they are now in a huge room. At the other end of the room is the Mandarin, but he is behind a protective barrier.
IRON MAN Come out like a real man!
MANDARIN I think not!
IRON MAN Fine!
Iron Man shoots some fire at Mandarin, but it ricochets off, coming right back at him and Wolverine. The two dive out of the way and stand back up a second later.
WOLVERINE Smooth one.
IRON MAN Yeah, don’t mention it.
WOLVERINE So what are we gonna do?
MANDARIN Simple. You are going to fight someone of my choice, and if you can defeat them, I will fight you.
WOLVERINE OK? So who do you have set up for us to take out?
Grey Gargoyle comes out of a small opening in the ceiling of the room.
IRON MAN Whatever you do, don’t get hit by his attacks.
WOLVERINE Why’s that?
IRON MAN Well, I don’t want to go back to the tower explaining why one of our best fighters is now a statue.
WOLVERINE Fair enough.
Grey Gargoyle shoots something at both of them, but they both dive out of the way just in time.
IRON MAN That’s it.
Iron Man jumps up in the air, avoiding hitting Gargoyle, but shooting what looks to be electricity at him. It doesn’t affect him, but Gargoyle is confused as to where Iron Man went.
WOLVERINE If I stabbed him...
IRON MAN Either nothing would happen or you would be turned into a rock. Not sure which though.
WOLVERINE Oh... So in other words, I can do nothing?
IRON MAN That’s about right...
WOLVERINE Why did Fury send me?
IRON MAN I don’t think he was actually expecting us to fight Gargoyle.
Gargoyle turns around, shooting at Iron Man again, but Iron Man deflects it by shooting at it. It turns back to Gargoyle, who just absorbs it with nothing happening to him.
IRON MAN Hmmm...
Wolverine looks up, seeing a molten pit right beside the wall. He then looks up to see a very thin opening, just big enough to fit him, above it in the roof.
WOLVERINE Hey Stoner! Over here!
Gargoyle turns, seeing Wolverine hop up. Wolverine slips in, and the camera cuts to the inside, showing him dig into the sides of the opening with his claws. Gargoyle goes over over, shooting up, but missing. Iron Man shoots some more lightning at Gargoyle, knocking him off guard and into the pit. Wolverine slides down with his claws and jumps back onto the floor.
IRON MAN He’s done.
Iron Man turns. Mandarin is out of his barrier, but he has a staff.
MANDARIN Now I guess since he was incompetent, I must complete the job of getting rid of you fools!
Mandarin shoots some gas out of his staff, but the two duck. Iron Man shoots some fire at Mandarin, but Mandarin shoots some back, negating the attack.
IRON MAN Gah!
Iron Man shoots more, just for it to be deflected back at him. Wolverine jumps up in the air, Mandarin shooting at him, but missing with each shot. Iron Man shoots some fire at Mandarin, burning his robe. When Mandarin gets it out, he turns around, and Wolverine starts slashing his face. Mandarin, all cut up, takes a few steps back and falls into the molten pit. His bones begin floating up for a few seconds and the screen cuts.
INT. STARK TOWER - IRON MAN LAB - DAY
Iron Man is in his suit’s case.
IRON MAN Armor release.
A giant mechanical hand comes down, grabbing the top half of the suit and pulling it up. The legs split in two, front and back, and Tony Stark walks out. Nick Fury walks in.
FURY Sorry to barge in, Tony.
STARK Any new calls?
FURY No, nobody needs any help. Almost like it’s putting us out of work or something.
STARK Well, we’ve still got a long way to go until our job is done, so... Let’s just hope it lasts until then.
