O=========================================================O
"THE HERACLES CONTRACT" Part Two
O=========================================================O
SCENE: Harbor Bay,Capitol City,Washington. Just past midnight. SS members
Lady Dragon, Meanstreak and The Stranger have just been checkmated by Wilson
Luthor, also known as The Kingpin, as he wields aloft the awesome...
"Sword of Damocles?! What the hell's that?!" Meanstreak retorts.
"It's one of the Three Harbingers of Ragnarok" replies Lady Dragon without
removing her gaze upon said item.
"True, my dear Lady Dragon" Kingpin grins. "The second in my own possession
at the moment."
"Big deal. So the fat man's got a couple of aantiques...what's the harm?"
asks Meanstreak.
"Shall I tell him Stranger...or do you want that pleasure?" smiles the
Kingpin.
"The Sword of Damocles is one of three artifacts,the others being the
biblical Crown of Thorns and mythical Shield of Oadin. When these legendary
artifacts from various religions are combined with each other,they are
foretold to herald the end of the world." informs the Stranger.
"Oh..." says the now-concerned speedster.
"To me Oadin Shield!" shouts the Kingpin.
Suddenly the roof of the warehouse bursts open and through it comes the
glowing shield. It flies to his side,affixing itself to his left forearm. A
loud clap of thunder rumbles through the night sky.
"Ha-ha! Now my friends..I suggest you leave here before I stop feeling
so....benevolent." cackles Kingpin.
"We're not leaving without those artifacts." says the Stranger.
The winds begin to whip up as Wilson Luthor's anger mounts. He levels an
ominous finger at the heroic trio.
"Then you'll perish on the very spot you now stand!"
O=========================================================O
SCENE: The bedroom of the now-deceased Oliver Barton AKA Black Shaft.
Earth's mightiest hero,Superion,stands boldly in the room's doorway,
blocking the exit of Timeliner, Nightdevil and Grimstone. On the floor is
the body of Oliver Barton, covered in his own blood, the third murdered
superhero in as many weeks.
"Are you stalking me?" quips the ever-wisecracking Nightdevil.
Superion's expression doesn't change.
"You're going in to police headquarters for the murder of BlackShaft. Now we
can do it the easy way or the hard way. Your choice, gents." says the
Dantarian native.
"Hmmm...I'll take door number three, Johnny." retorts Nightdevil.
"Door number three?" Superion answers quizzically.
"Yeah...a 'Timely' exit! Now Timeman!"
In one swift motion, Nightdevil turns to follow but is halted by the grip of
Superion on his arm. Grimstone grabs Timeliner and crashes through the
bedroom's double windows.
"We do not need to do this. We did not kill Oliver Barton." says the grim
gargoyle in his unimitable deep eerie voice.
"I know what I saw. And you're going to the police if I have to drag you
there!" replies the Star-Spangled Superman.
Out on the lawn, Nightdevil and Timeliner get to their feet.
"Get us outta here!" yells Nightdevil.
"What about Grimstone?" asks Timeliner.
At that moment Superion crashes through the building's wall to the
ground,just a few short feet away from the dou.
"Grim can take care of himself. Let's go now!!" screams Nightdevil.
Grimstone peers out of the wall's hole in time to see Timeliner and
Nightdevil "phase" out,leaving him behind.
"Timeliner!" he bellows to no avail.
Superion is now to his feet. He dusts himself off and stares down
Grimstone,who now is on the lawn also. Superion wipes his hand across his
mouth,a trace of crimson appears on it.
"First blood to you,creature. Now I'm taking you down!"
"I have no quarrel with you,Son of Dantar. I merely wish to.."
Grimstone's words are cut off abruptly by a Superion flying tackle,which
sends both heroes crashing into a parked van,totaling it instantly in a
violent explosion.
"I..said..you're...coming...with...me!" Superion grimaces the words through
his gritted teeth as he levels a series of punches to the fallen gargoyle's
jaw.
"I fear not,Dantarian." the Grim Goliath utters almost under his breath. His
eyes begin to glow a bright red.
"Wha...?!"
Superion never finishes his query as a burst of energy streams from
Grimstone's eyes,blasting the mighty Superion off him and several yards
away.
Grimstone gets to his feet and looks for the blasted Superion. With no sign
of him in sight,he turns and begins walking towards the tree grove nearby,in
an attempt to conceal his presence.
"Leaving so..." a stearn voice beckons.
Grimstone turns only to have his curiousity,quelled by a hard right fist to
the jaw.
"..SOON?!" finishes Superion.
Grimstone is thrown by the blow's impact into a sculptured water
fountain,landing with a splash in it's pool. Superion quickly follows up his
blow,flying to the fallen mystical monolith,then hovering over him,contently
as he speaks...
"Are you finished?"
Grimstone rubs his stony jaw. He then casts his gaze up at the hovering Man
of Might.
An almost evil smile appears on Grim Gargoyle's face.
O=========================================================O
"Disperse!" a voice booms.
SCENE: Harbor Bay,Capitol City,Wash. The eerie voice bellowing the command
belongs to the enigmatic field leader of the Secret Seven, the Stranger. He
floats effortlessly in the air as he confronts Wilson Luthor AKA The
Kingpin.
"It's a good day to die,Stranger! Come...meet your end like a hero!" shouts
the golden aura-encased Kingpin. He raises the sword high above his head and
points it at the hovering Stranger. A bolt of energy bursts forth from it's
point,narrowly missing the evading Ethereal Avenger.
"Ha-ha!" bellows the rotund madman.
"You know not what you do,Wilson Luthor. You're under the spell of the
artifacts! Give them to us now and spare yourself any punishment!" shouts
the Stranger,straining to be heard over the increasing stormwinds.
"Punishment?! It is I who shall deal the punishment...upon YOU!"
Again Luthor lowers the sword and it's energy blast strikes the Spectre
Supreme,knocking him out of the air,plummeting to the ground below.
"Meanstreak!" shrieks Lady Dragon in a commanding voice.
"I'm on it,lady!" retorts the Dark Dasher,as he races underneath their
stricken leader. He circles the ground below the falling Stranger,creating a
large updraft,thus allowing the stranger to float to earth like the
proverbial feather.
"Ha-ha!" agains bellows the Kingpin,gloating in his apparent victory.
Meanwhile,Meanstreak catches the Stranger and returns to Lady Dragon's
side,behind a large pile of crates.
"Any ideas,lady?" huffs the speedster.
"Falcon 7 said we'd be on own own after Timeliner left. We've got to get
those artifacts away from him before he hurts innocent lives", Lady Dragon
calmly replies.
"And we do that...how?" asks Meanstreak,dripping with obvious sarcasm.
"We need to divert his attention long enough for me to an assault from
behind. Can you still do that doppleganger trick?" she asks.
"Sure. He wants Meanstreak..he'll get Meanstreak. Or rather a few of us." he
quips before racing off towards the maniacal Kingpin.
Meanstreak races in a helter-skelter pattern,stopping in select spots for
just a milli-nanosecond. By stopping in the same spots repeatedly,it creates
the illusion of Meanstreak standing there. By stopping in more than one
spot,it creates the illusion of many Meanstreaks standing around.
"Reduced to parlor tricks now? Hah!" roars Wilson Luthor as he levels the
sword at each image of Meanstreak,decimating each as he does so with energy
blasts.
"Your time is running out,my dear speedster." sneers the Kingpin.
Then from behind Lady Dragon strikes with a leathal blow to the villain's
head. A blow that would surely have killed any man... save a man protected
by the golden aura of the Oadin Shield. Now Wilson Luthor turns and snatches
the Mistress of the Martial Arts by her neck. Meanstreak sees his comrade's
dilemma and races to her aid,abandoning his illusion. Kingpin turns back to
face him, realizing the doppleganger Meanstreaks have vanished leaving just
the real one to deal with. Meanstreak strikes hard and swift, raining blows
upon the Kingpin's head and torso,to no effect. With a simple swing of his
arm,the sword strikes the speedster,sending him flying to the ground several
feet away. He turns his attention back to the struggling Lady Dragon,still
caught in his malevolent chokehold.
"And now dear lady..the endgame."
He raises the sword once again above his head. Suddenly a strong voice cuts
through the stormwinds,loud and clear.
"Unhand her...NOW!"
Wilson Luthor turns to face his detractor. His eyes widen not in fear, but
in excitement. There before his eyes is the hovering form of...
"The Mighty Thorax commands it! Unhand the woman,base villain..or face the
wrath of the Scion of Oagard!"
Wilson Luthor's grin widens. . . .
O=========================================================O
SCENE: The main meeting room located in The Lair,secret headquarters of the
covert superteam the Secret Seven. Falcon 7 is addressing the recently
returned members Timeliner and Nightdevil.
"And you just left him?!" the voice of Falcon 7 shouts through the speaker.
"Well it wasn't like we just ran out on him,y'know...he had the best shot at
taking out SuperGuy there and we figured you wanted what info we found out
ASAP so we opted to get back here and let you know what happened.
Right,Timey?" says Nightdevil.
"What's this we,kimosabe? You panicked..BIGTIME. Falcon 7 ..I can go back
and get Grimstone right now. Color me gone..." his voice trails off as the
Dimensional Man "phases" out, leaving just an obviously irate Falcon 7 and
the sheepish Nightdevil.
"So..ah..ya wanna send out for pizza? I'm starving." says Nightdevil through
his coy grin.
"Nightdevil...that's twice in two nights you've botched your end of a
mission. Do you really want to go back to Death Row at Arkham Vault that
bad? Because if you do..I'll be more than happy to terminate our little
agreement and give you back. Do you get my drift?" says the erstwhile
leader.
"Yeah..I hear ya. Look I didn't ask to be some hero. All I wanted was..."
Nightdevil is cut off by the booming voice of Falcon 7.
"..a second chance. Well you're looking at your second chance, mister. And
if you don't get onboard pronto you're going to be out of chances and back
in Arkham,understood?" Falcon 7 says sternly.
" Alright! I screwed up. What's next?" the guilty-minded Nightdevil replies
somberly.
"I've located the Diana Danvers. She's retired,living in Golden City,
Florida. You know what to do." the eye-patched agent says crypti cally.
"_Don't_ mess it up."
"Florida? How am I supposed to get there? Timey's gone back to get Stonehead
and I'm still too weak from my trip to Harbor Bay to teleport myself." says
Nightdevil.
"Got cabfare?" deadpans the stoic Falcon 7.
"You gotta be kidding...!" sighs the young hero.
O=========================================================O
KKKRRRAAAACCCKKK!!!
SCENE: Lilac City,Maine. Time: About three seconds after Superion has a tree
slammed over his head by the Grim Goliath known as Grimstone. Superion lies
prone on the ground,taking physical inventory as the Grimstone surveys his
damage. He lumbers towards the fallen Superion. Once again the eyes of
Grimstone flicker with a neon red glow. Seconds later crimson energy beams
burst from those eyes intent upon harming his foe,the groggy Superion.
However with split-second timing,the Dantarian rolls from the beams' impact.
The earth's skin is scorched by the blasts but Superion quickly squashes the
fires with a blast of polar breath.
The Son of Dantar is soon back in the fray.
"Give up now and we can end this before you really get hurt!" he says to the
brooding Grimstone.
"Pssst...Grimstone..",a voice whispers from behind a tree. The embattled
gargoyle glances quickly in the voice's direction but soon returns his gazxe
back to his foe.
"This will surely end,Dantarian..but not the way you'd hope." the Grim
Goliath replies as he hoists a chunk of the destroyed concrete water
fountain into the air and hurls it at Superion.
The debris easily misses the heroic Dantarian.
"You must be getting weary,gargoyle. That wasn't even close." the mightiest
mortal retorts.
Again that evil grin crosses the face of Grimstone.
"You...were not my target."
Superion's face contorts in a visage of shock as he looks at the
projectile's destination. A small crowd of people have gathered in their
pajamas in the courtyard,viewing the epic battle.The concrete shard is
heading right towards them.
"Great Moons of Heron!!" he exclaims.
As the Dantarian superman speeds to intercept the debris,Grimstone turns to
follow the whispering voice. Before arriving at the tree, the hulking
gargoyle turns back one last time. His eyes flicker yet again. Then a burst
of crimson energy streaks forth,vaporizing the chunk of concrete into thin
air,a split second before Superion reaches it. Instead of quickly
retreating, Grimstone merely waits. Superion turns his attention to the
Mystical Monolith. Their eyes meet in what seems like an eternal staredown
which is only broken when...
..Grimstone smiles.
He turns and walks behind the tree. Superion races to him but just as he
gets there,there's a bright flash and the stench of rotten eggs. Superion's
brow wrinkles with anger and frustration as the last wisp of grayish smoke
dissipates into the night air. His words seeth out from behind his clenched
teeth.
"We're not done,mystery man. Not by a long shot."
O=========================================================O
SCENE: Harbor Bay,Capitol City,Washington. In the battle with the newly
mystically-empowered Kingpin, the merchant of speed, Meanstreak and the
enigmatic Stranger have fallen beneath the might of the legendary Sword of
Damocles and the Shield of Oadin. The life of Lady Dragon hangs by his grip
and the fate of the entire world could hang in the balance. But now the
battle is joined by another. A being of majesty and power that could only be
that of...
"The Mighty Thorax...well ..this IS a surprise!" smiles Wilson Luthor. "The
woman is of no consequence to me, Oasgardian. And this matter is none of
your concern."
"Where e'er there be injustice, Thorax,Son of Oadin shall e'er be vigilant"
states the Emerald Scion of Oasgard. "First you are a thief,and then you
mistreat that fair maiden..."
"Oh that's riiight. This shield belongs to your father, doesn't it?" the
portly Luthor cracks.
"Aye,it does. And now mine search is over. Hand over the All-Father's shield
or face my wrath!" warns the Oasgardian warrior.
"Hmmm...you want the shield,godling? Come and take it!" bellows Kingpin into
the storm's raging winds. He tosses aside the limp form of Lady Dragon and
charges into battle against the might of Thorax.
"Forsooth!" replies the Oadinson.
Thorax raises his mighty enchanted emerald hammer,Mjolnir, high to the skies
and meets the blow of the Sword of Damocles, swung by Wilson Luthor. The
clash is one that shakes the heavens. Lightning flashes,the winds swirl
madly as the two are joined in battle.
Each man strikes his blow and recoils from his opponent's retaliatory
strike. As the fight continues on,Lady Dragon recovers enough to make it
back to her fallen comrades. The Stranger is just now coming to. Meanstreak
is still unconscious.
"What..what is happening,Lady Dragon?" he asks.
"It seems Luthor stole wonder god's daddy's shield. He wants it back. Plain
and simple. Looks like he just may get it too."
Thorax delivers a devastating blow with Mjolnir,knocking Luthor from his
feet for the first time in the battle. As the Oasgardian attempts to follow
up the strike,he is met with an equally punishing strike by the
sword,sending him reeling bacwards through the air and into the bay.
"Looks like I spoke too soon." says Lady Dragon.
With the threat of thorax seemingly vanquished,Kingpin turns his attention
once more to the Secret Seven members.
"It's showtime,Stranger...move it!"
The words barely escape the Mistress of the martials arts' lips when a bolt
of pure energy strikes the ground where they had just been. The Stranger,now
floating along with the limp body of Meanstreak,clears his teammate of the
impact area with a wave of his hand.
"We need a distraction...some element of surprise,Stranger!" yells Lady
Dragon.
"Be prepared!" he warns. He the waves his hand towards Dragon. Then slowly
the warrior woman begins to... disappear!
"Stranger?!" she yells watching her body fade away.
"Be prepared!" the Stranger yells once again. "Strike!"
Luthor,unaware of Lady Dragon's situation, moves towards the still hovering
forms of the Stranger and Meanstreak.
"I grow weary of this game,Stranger. I think...it's time to end it." says
Luthor. He raises the sword's point towards the Ethereal Avenger menacingly.
"Goodbye,Stranger. Say hello to your friends..
...in Hell!"
Suddenly the sword drops from his hand as if struck by an invisable blow.
The sword rises in the air,unaided and floats away from the anguished
Kingpin. Then it all becomes clear as the form of a retreating Lady
Dragon,previously cloaked by The Stranger, fades back into the scene. Luthor
lets out a guttural roar and charges after the Dragon. And just as she's
within his grasp...he suddenly soars past her with uncanny speed and crashes
into a pile of wooden crates.
There,hovering in the stormy night air,is the Scion of Oasgard... the Mighty
Thorax!!
"To me mighty Mjolnir!" he commands.
The emerald hammer soars straight over Lady Dragon's head as it makes it's
way back to the outstretched hand of the powerful Oasgardian.
"Base villain...heed the words of Thorax! I will return the All-Father's
shield to it's rightful place in Oasgard. Should you not hand it over now I
will bring the very heavens down upon thee!!"
"Thunder god...you talk too much." sneers Wilson Luthor. He slowly gets to
his feet and retrieves the shield. He sees the sword,in the possession of
Lady Dragon and moves towards her to retrieve it too.
"Give me that sword!" he screams.
The Stranger and Lady Dragon brace themselves for battle when a hushed voice
beckons them.
"Pssst...over here."
The duo glances towards the voice, then back towards it's direction. Just as
the Kingpin pounces at them,he's met with a resounding * CCRRAACCKK!!*
Mjolnir has struck it's target once more,sending the maniacal Wilson Luthor
crashing to the earth yet again. He reaches out towards the sword only to
see it and the trio vanish in a brilliant flash of blue light leaving behind
a wisp of gray smoke and the pungent odor....of rotten eggs.
"NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!" he bellows in a fit of angered,his fists raise in rage at
the turn of events.
Just then a magnificent bolt of white lightning crashes to earth, striking
Wilson Luthor to the ground. He is knocked unconscious in a smoldering heap
upon the earth. The shield lays a mere few feet away from his near-lifeless
body. A mighty hand reaches down and lifts the shield from the ground. It is
then placed upon the forearm of Thorax, firstborn of Oadin,the Lord of
Oasgard. Then he leans back down and hoists the body of Wilson Luthor over
his broad shoulder. In one swift motion,he twirls the mighty Mjolnir. Faster
and faster. The night sky brightens with the electricity created by the
hammer's action.
"Wilson Luthor..the madness was upon you. I know naught what happened to the
others in this struggle,but I say to thee now... we shall hasten you to
medical care."
Then..in a flash of light...they are gone.
O=========================================================O
SCENE: Surf City,Florida. Time: 7:35 AM. Pleasant Dreams Retirement Home.
The morning shuffleboard tournement is underway. The bus to the shopping
mall is loading. And Diana Danvers sips her morning coffee as she watches
the TV in her mobile home's kitchen. Her morning routine is interrupted by a
knock on the door. She opens the door to see a man clothed in a long tan
trenchcoat and fedora hat.
"Ms Danvers?" the man asks.
"Yes?" she replies.
"Ms Diana Danvers?" he asks again.
"Yes. Can I help you?" she says.
"I'm here to help you."
The man forces his way inside and closes the door behind him. Ms Danvers
retreats to her dining room booth. She remains calm. Over the years her
experiences have taught to remain calm in a crisis.
"Okay. You're inside. Now what can I do for you."she says sternly.
The figure finally removes his hat and coat revealing him to
be...Nightdevil.
"Actually Ms Danvers..or should I call you...Ms Wonder?"
"Okay. You know. Everybody knows these days. Now what? You want money? Too
bad. If I had it do you think I'd be living here?" she says with a disdain
in her voice.
"I'm here to help you as I said before." replies the night demon. "Do you
realize that someone's killing off the old Justice Legion of America? The
Blue Ant, Moonhawk and Black Shaft are already dead. You may be next. I'm
here to prevent that from happening."
"I've heard about Blue Ant and Moonhawk. I wasn't aware of Black Shaft's
death. Now you, a stranger, shows up on my doorstep and tell me you're here
to save me? And how do you propose to do that?" she asks almost
sarcastically. "Wisk me away to your secret underground hideout?"
"Uh..exactly." he replies caught offguard by the irony of her query. "We
need to leave as soon as possible."
"Oh you can't be serious?! Okay,okay..well let me just get a few things."
she says.
"Hmmm..can ya hurry please. I don't feel like taking a bullet fer some old
broad", he remarks under his breath.
Ms Danvers returns to the kitchen. In her hand are some clothes, shoes and a
metallic belt. "Mind if I change out of my pajamas before we go?"
"Hrmm..just hurry will ya. I'll wait over here by the door."
"Suit yourself." she muses.
Suddenly a loud beeping noise is heard. It's Nightdevil's
wrist-commmunicator.
"Yeah..go ahead big cheese." Nightdevil cracks.
The voice of Falcon 7 blares over the device.
"I forgot to mention one thing. Whatever you do..don't let her put on her
belt."
"Uh-oh...!" sighs Nightdevil. "Aw cripes...!"
In next instance, Nightdevil is flying through the door of the
trailer,destroying the entrance. He lands hard on the ground. He shakes the
cobwebs from his head and mutters to himself...
"Now ya tell me...!"
"Old broad indeed!" steams Diana Danvers, now clad in a short sundress and
the metallic belt. "I'll show you what this 'old broad' can do!"
"Why me?" whispers the staggered Nightdevil. "Look I was just sent here to
get you to safety. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. Can't you just
come along peacefully?"
The question is answered...by a hard right fist.
Fade to black...
O=========================================================O
SCENE: Midway City,Illinois. Time:6:30 AM. The home of Kurt Wayne. At first
the name meant nothing to the citizens of this good city but in the years
gone since, they've all came to know and revere him as a hero. A legend.
Though his glory days are far removed,the world will always remember his
name.
The name of...the Nightlord.
He was a charter member of the Justice Legion of America back in it's
inception in 1941. He first fought for his country. Then he fought for
justice. Today...he'll fight for his life.
Kurt Wayne steps outside his modest ranch-style home to retrieve his morning
paper. As he reaches down to get it a figure arrives on his doorstep. Wayne
picks up the paper and sees the figure. A smile lights up his face.
"Oh my stars and garters! What are you doing here?" he asks.
The figure then opens it's trenchcoat revealing a glowing machine gun. Kurt
Wayne's pleasant surprise turns into utter fear.
"Wha...?!" he asks impatiently.
Without uttering a response the figure opens fire upon the helpless Wayne.
He crumples to the ground in a bloody heap. The figure simply turns and
walks back down the block, unnoticed by the quiet residential neighborhood.
Kurt Wayne's eyes open slightly.
"Why?" is all he's able to manage before slipping into unconsciousness. The
high pitch whine of an ambulence's siren grows stronger. A nosy neighbor was
nosy enough to call 911 after seeing the fallen hero on the ground. As a re
sult of that person's reaction, Kurt Wayne will be rushed to the hospital.
He will undergo emergency surgery and later on this afternoon...unknown to
the world at large...
..Kurt Wayne will die...
..and the world will mourn another legend.
O=========================================================O
SCENE: A darkened office somewhere in the US Treasury building. A red light
blinks on a phone. A weathered yet firm hand grasps the receiver and lifts
it from it's cradle.
"Yes?" a raspy voice says. "So I've heard. Does he know yet?"
The figure rubs out a half-smoked cigarette into the brass ashtray on the
desk.
"You're sure? Alright then. I'll alert the Chain Gang. Do not call me at
this number again."
*CLICK*
The receiver is placed back into it's cradle. The weathered hand grabs an
opened pack of Marlboros and removes a cigarette. The other hand produces a
Zippo metal lighter. With a flick it ignites a small flame. Unseen,the
figure lights the cigarette and soon a swirl of gray smoke encircles him. He
picks up the receiver once more. He punches three digits on the keypad and
waits. Then his raspy voice is heard once more...
"The sun has set."
The figure draws in a slow steady breath and exhales.
"It's the twilight of the gods."
The hand slowly lowers the receiver back to it's cradle once again and turns
out the desktop lamp.The gravelly voice speaks once more in the
darkness,seemingly to himself.
"May God have mercy on us all."
