so22m02a_deploy4complete Name: Tony Stark Message: They were closed again by the time we got there...but there's no observable demon presence. Name: Tony Stark Message: Does that mean someone was going in...? so22m02a_deploy4start Name: Tony Stark Message: Demonic portals? Here? Name: Nick Fury Message: Let's shut 'em down. so22m02a_deploy5complete Name: Nick Fury Message: Where are they all? Did MI-13 send them all on a mission we didn't know about? Name: Psylocke Message: If so, they didn't tell me. so22m02a_deploy5start Name: Nick Fury Message: Have we spoken to any member of Excalibur since we got here? Name: Psylocke Message: I have. Name: Tony Stark Message: Recently? so22m02a_minibossreveal Name: Blade Message: Looking for Dracula, but who did I find? Selene. Seems our vampires have a little help from the Hellfire Club. Name: Nick Fury Message: Take her out. If nothing else, it'll send a message to Dracula and Shaw that friendships have consequences. so22m02a_minibosscomplete Name: Selene Message: You're quite determined. Perhaps I should give you want you want...although you might not want it once you have it. Name: Blade Message: Enough riddles. Where's Shaw? Name: Selene Message: Watch me go, and I'll show you. Name: Blade Message: S.H.I.E.L.D.: Vampires are down. Selene is gone. Name: Tony Stark Message: She'll be running to tell Shaw we're looking for him. Psylocke, step up your search. Name: Psylocke Message: If you think you can do it faster, you're welcome to try. Name: Tony Stark Message: I'm just offering some gentle encouragement, and a reminder that vampires and demons are, you know, feeding on people. Name: Psylocke Message: Oh, do tell. I hadn't any idea of that. I shall hurry! Name: Nick Fury Message: What's with you two? Name: Tony Stark Message: Don't ask me. Some people don't appreciate my leadership qualities. so22m02a_minibossstart Name: Blade Message: Selene. Making friends with the bloodsuckers? Name: Selene Message: I don't have any friends, Blade. Dracula has...asked a favor of Sebastian. I have my own aims to pursue. Name: Blade Message: Dracula has a deal with Mephisto. What's he need Shaw for? Name: Selene Message: You'll have to ask him. Or ask Sebastian. Name: Blade Message: I'll do that, once I'm through with you. Name: Selene Message: Fool. No one is ever through with me, unless I decide they are. so22m02a_minibossstartrepeat Name: Blade Message: If you're stopping me from killing vampires, that puts you on the wrong side. Bad decision. so22m02a_minibosslose Name: Selene Message: You chase vampires. Adorable. Meanwhile others have set their sights on greater goals. so22m02a_miniboss2reveal Name: Psylocke Message: Hellfire Club gathering spots have turned up empty so far...until now. Mystique is here. Name: Tony Stark Message: Shaw wouldn't trust her with the book, would he? Name: Psylocke Message: I should think not. On the other hand, he's not known for his predictability. Name: Nick Fury Message: If you think the book might be there, go in. If not, keep looking. This will be simpler if we can go straight to the top. so22m02a_miniboss2complete Name: Psylocke Message: While Blade's off hacking away at vampires, I'm doing all the hard work, it seems. Name: Tony Stark Message: Poor thing. Any sign of the book? Name: Psylocke Message: It's not here. Mystique? If you want to walk out of here, start talking. Name: Mystique Message: I know Shaw's not himself. That means opportunity. I don't care about vampires, or the book. Name: Psylocke Message: Then stay clear of S.H.I.E.L.D. until we've made our contact with Shaw. Name: Mystique Message: Deal. As long as you stay clear of me. Name: Nick Fury Message: Psylocke, we know where Shaw is. If we can get the book from him without restarting a war with the Hellfire Club, I'd prefer to do that. Name: Psylocke Message: You'll forgive me if I don't have much faith that this plan will work. Name: Nick Fury Message: Oh, I'm real forgiving, as long as orders are followed. so22m02a_miniboss2start Name: Psylocke Message: This doesn't have to be violent...as much as both of us might like that. I'm looking for a book. Sebastian Shaw either has it or knows where it is. So I need to know where he is. Name: Mystique Message: You're a turncoat and Nick Fury's plaything. The only thing you're going to get here is a shortcut to a coffin. Name: Psylocke Message: I suppose it does have to get violent, then. Can't say I didn't try. so22m02a_miniboss2startrepeat Name: Psylocke Message: Maybe you don't have the book. But now you've made this personal. so22m02a_miniboss2lose Name: Mystique Message: You got a little more than you bargained for, didn't you, traitor? so22m02a_bossreveal Name: Psylocke Message: For once I took the simple approach and just knocked on the door. Shaw has invited me in. Name: Nick Fury Message: The team goes with you. Don't get into a long conversation with him, Psylocke. Get the book and get out. Name: Psylocke Message: He's--his mind is under someone else's control, Fury. I can tell. Name: Tony Stark Message: I love this. The master plotter Sebastian Shaw, turned into someone else's cat's-paw. so22m02a_bosscomplete Name: Sebastian Shaw Message: Dracula...this means a war. Even he cannot shrug off the Hellfire Club. Name: Sebastian Shaw Message: Take the book. If you kill Dracula with it, I will be the first to congratulate you. Now go. Name: Psylocke Message: Fury. I have the book. Name: Tony Stark Message: Get it back here pronto. Do not pass Go, do not-- Name: Psylocke Message: I was talking to Fury. Name: Tony Stark Message: Oh, well, I'm sure he'll tell you to take your time and maybe read passages aloud while you stroll back here. Name: Nick Fury Message: Psylocke. Bicker with Stark another time. Stark. Shut up. We need that book. so22m02a_bossstart Name: Psylocke Message: Shaw, I'm here for a book called the Darkhold. We know you have it. Strange needs it, or we're not going to see the sun around here for a long time. Name: Sebastian Shaw Message: Catering to Doctor Strange's interests is not one of my preferred activities. Now, if there's nothing else... Name: Psylocke Message: Don't tell me you're happy to have London turned into a vampire playground. Name: Sebastian Shaw Message: I feel no particular impulse to discuss my happiness with you. The Hellfire Club keeps its own counsel and makes its own decisions. Name: Psylocke Message: And chooses the wrong side with astonishing consistency. Hand over the book. Name: Sebastian Shaw Message: I will not. Name: Psylocke Message: Then you're about to learn an unpleasant truth, Sebastian. so22m02a_bossstartrepeat Name: Sebastian Shaw Message: I grow impatient with this interference. so22m02a_bosslose Name: Sebastian Shaw Message: This will be the extent of my dealings with S.H.I.E.L.D. on this matter, I trust? so22m02b_deploy1complete Name: Dr. Strange Message: Yes. These will be useful. Continue your collection. so22m02b_deploy2complete Name: Agent Coulson Message: That's a lot of demon parts. It's going to take a while to sort through them all. so22m02b_deploy2start Name: Agent Coulson Message: Let's see if we can't speed up the collection a little. Who wants to volunteer to go out and be a bird with a broken wing? If we can draw a lot of demons in, we can take them down all at once and harvest them. so22m02b_deploy3complete Name: Morbius Message: Okay. I'm okay again. Back to the hunt. so22m02b_deploy3start Name: Morbius Message: I'm starting to get hungry... Name: Agent Coulson Message: Hang in there, Morbius. We've got a snack headed your way. so22m02b_deploy5complete Name: Dr. Strange Message: Once I have examined these, I will know whether I have enough to suffice for the incantation. so22m02b_minibossreveal Name: Spider-Man Message: Zoiks. That's a lot of demons. Morby? Strange? Anyone? Could use a little extra muscle here. so22m02b_minibosscomplete Name: Spider-Man Message: Turns out I'm better at fighting demons than I thought. Name: Agent Coulson Message: We knew you could handle it. Name: Spider-Man Message: You did? That makes one of us. Name: Agent Coulson Message: See if you can fill out Strange's grocery list from those demons. The sooner we get him started, the better. Name: Spider-Man Message: I forgot my demon dissection toolkit. Anyone got a Swiss Army knife? so22m02b_minibossstart Name: Spider-Man Message: Okay, demons, this is where I'm supposed to deliver some kind of fiery speech about how you can't take over the world and turn it into a fiery hellscape. Name: Spider-Man Message: So, yeah. Impressed? Name: Spider-Man Message: Thought so. so22m02b_minibossstartrepeat Name: Spider-Man Message: Okay, once more unto the demony breach! Cowabunga! so22m02b_minibosslose Name: Spider-Man Message: Hey, about that backup I was asking for...? so22m02b_miniboss2reveal Name: Maria Hill Message: Baron Mordo has unleashed Blackheart. While we're collecting demon parts, Blackheart's collecting souls. Name: Dr. Strange Message: Mordo is working a powerful ritual to open a permanent portal from Mephisto's realm to ours. Name: Agent Coulson Message: Permanent as in we wouldn't be able to close it? Name: Dr. Strange Message: Precisely. Name: Dr. Strange Message: It is only possible as long as the moon is held in place, but if that portal is opened, Mephisto's legions will march through it a hundred at a time. Name: Agent Coulson Message: That's a pretty vivid picture. Agent, we still need those demon parts, but your number one priority is interrupting Mordo's ritual. Name: Maria Hill Message: I don't think any of us want to live in a world permanently linked to Mephisto's level of hell. so22m02b_miniboss2complete Name: Morbius Message: Blackheart is dispelled. Is that enough to stop Mordo? Name: Maria Hill Message: We don't know. The only way to be sure is to go after Mordo and make sure he doesn't finish his ritual. Name: Agent Coulson Message: Strange has pinpointed his location. He doesn't look to be slowing down, so either he has enough souls or he's trying to open the portal anyway. Name: Maria Hill Message: We can't take the chance that it'll work. Go after him. so22m02b_miniboss2start Name: Spider-Man Message: Morbius, ol' buddy ol' pal, let's fight us a demon. Name: Morbius Message: Blackheart, you've taken enough souls for today. Name: Blackheart Message: In the count of harvested souls, there is no such thing as enough. so22m02b_miniboss2startrepeat Name: Morbius Message: I may not have a soul anymore, but if I do, I'll put it on the line. so22m02b_miniboss2midcombat Name: Blackheart Message: What are you? Mortal, vampire...? Name: Morbius Message: I don't always know myself. Name: Blackheart Message: Whatever life force you possess, I will feed on it as it leaves your body. so22m02b_miniboss2lose Name: Blackheart Message: The harvest of souls continues... so22m02b_bossreveal Name: Dr. Strange Message: Baron Mordo is here. Morbius, he would destroy you if you tried to confront him now. I will do it myself, though it cost me precious time in the preparation of the spell to break Mephisto's darkness. Name: Morbius Message: Lead the way, Strange. so22m02b_bosscomplete Name: Dr. Strange Message: Yes! The portal draws in on itself, and draws Mordo with it. Name: Baron Mordo Message: Nooooo--!! Name: Dr. Strange Message: He is gone. One wonders what sort of welcome Mephisto will offer. Name: Maria Hill Message: Mephisto needs Mordo, doesn't he? Name: Dr. Strange Message: He does, yes. But that will not prevent him from inflicting punishment. Those who pledge themselves to Mephisto find that no failure comes without great pain. Name: Agent Coulson Message: And we thought the boss was hard on us. so22m02b_bossstart Name: Baron Mordo Message: You arrive just in time to witness the merging of two worlds, Strange. Behold! Name: Dr. Strange Message: No, Mordo--I arrive just in time to prevent it! Oshtur's Bane be upon you! so22m02b_bossstartrepeat Name: Baron Mordo Message: The powers of other realms batter at your protections, Strange. They will not be kept out forever. so22m02b_bossmidcombat Name: Baron Mordo Message: Do you see, Strange? The portal's form, glimmering into existence...        Name: Dr. Strange Message: It is not complete yet, Mordo--and by the Vishanti, it shall never be! so22m02b_bosslose Name: Baron Mordo Message: Sorcerer Supreme, you face a power greater even than yours! The portal begins to take form...
