Day 4: Dawn of the Nova
Everyone sat inside their houses, nervous about what might happen. Fear was heavy in the air; sure, they had taken out Fudd during the day, but there were still a lot more Capcom waiting for them. Most people sat in the darkness, wielding weapons for the assault they expected to come. Others drank their nerves calmly, ready to face the threat before them.
One of them was prepared to do something about it.
**Taskmaster **smiled, sharpening his sword by the fireplace. He soaked his arrow tips with poison, and rolled the single bullet he had left between his fingers. Which one tonight was going to get it? And how? Oh, how glorious it would be to slip the blade between somebodies ribs, and stare into their eyes as they died… but it was risky. It was more important to be cautious than seek pleasure, wasn’t it? He wasn’t sure. But he knew one thing; somebody was going to get it tonight.
He stepped out into the night, carefully slipping between shadows as to not be seen. He knew where his target was, all that was required was getting there and back unseen, as to keep his cover. He heard a voice, but he was unable to make out who they were. He listened intently… it sounded like somebody having an argument with themself.
“It has to be tonight. We’ve been in fear long enough. Tonight we take action.”
“But what if we’re wrong…”
“No, stop thinking like that. It’s time to act like the guardian we were appointed to be. It’s time for action.”
And then, like that, the voice was quiet.
**Taskmaster **stepped out, trying to see if he could get a glimpse of who it was, but they were gone, almost as if they themselves had slipped into the shadows.
Irked, his mind returned to his task at hand. His targets location shouldn’t be far. He approached quietly, constantly checking over his shoulder to make sure none of the voices he heard were following him.
It was eerily still on this dark night.
Taskmaster grinned, the surge of adreneline pumping through his veins as it always did before he killed. Tonight, it would be good. He took one step towards his target, and then it happened.
The night sky lit up with a flash, almost as if a sun had manifested itself over the town. **Taskmasters **cover was blown, he ran back to his house as quickly as he could, before the others would flood the street and see him. His plans for tonight were ruined.
Above the town, **Nova **appeared, pulsating energy and lighting up the night.
“Too long we marvels have cowered in our houses, content to let the Capcoms pick us off one by one. No longer! Tonight we Marvels take back our town, and we show the capcoms what it means to be a super hero! Take to the streets, my brothers and sisters, take up arms! We are Marvel! And we shall prevail!”
And then, he pulsated an even brighter flash of light, temporarily blinding any onlookers. When vision returned, he was gone.
But the town was riled, everyone had piled onto the streets, chanting “Nova! Nova!” People were talking excitedly, ready to face the Capcoms in battle.
Three people in particular seemed to be mesmerized by the events. Almost zombielike, they marched their way into the center of the town square, their eyes glowing with pulsating energy.
AlphaCommando, KillaFox, and **Manx **marched themselves up in front of the crowd. Everyone looked on, as a hush lulled over the crowd. Nobody was quite sure what was going to happen next.
All 3 of them started to float a few feet off the ground, the energy in their eyes getting brighter and more vivid. All 3 spoke in unison.
“We protect the citizens in the name of the Nova Corps!”
And then like that, they exploded into a large pulse of light, knocking everyone standing in the town over. Everyone was dazed, and the night had turned quickly into daytime. A notable silence was heard, as everyone looked up into the sky.
Floating above the town square was 3 Marvel logos, rotating in place over where they just dissapeared from.
A bird chirp broke the silence, as it sung its morning song. Everyone looked around at eachother, unsure what their next move should be
