Colonel Parker and His Crawling Commandos!

[agentof.livejournal.com]

The entry door of the hallway to Doom's cell slides open - revealing a very triumphant-looking Colonel Peter Parker, accompanied by ten agents in SHIELD garb - some of whom are entering by crawling on the ceiling or the walls.

Parker smiles. "I got you this time, Grimm. Richards and the council won't stand for this.."

He looks to his soldiers.

"Thompson, you take the pale metamorph - use the stunners. Hardy - get on Doom before he gets his bearings. Drew, on their 'Spider-Man'. The rest of you, pick opponents, take them down. Teamwork, people.."

Colonel Parker fixes his gaze on Sarah.

"I'll take the bulletproof one."

"We don't have TIME for this!" Spidey snaps, immediately firing a webline towards Parker's face. "The end of the world is nigh!"

The Patriot was right - Doom's earlier emergence from the cell was illusory. Doom himself is a bit worse for wear coming out of the cell.

But that doesn't mean he's not on guard.

As Spider - their spider, noted, they don't have time for this. Sarah steps to the front of the group - not just because she's the bulletproof one, but because she has something in mind.
She whirls the hammer in front of her, building up a mini-windstorm to buy them some space. "Get moving, folks!"

Raven dives for one of Parker's guards, shifting as she tackles him.

"Get her!" Shouts one of the identical pair.

Agent John Jameson swore a blue streak as he managed to dampen some of the opponent's tackle by swinging them into a grapple. One foot adhering to the floor kept him anchored, and still technically upright. (The backwards bend he was executing would put an olympic gymnast to shame.) "Goddammit, this is why I HATE shifters!!" His unanchored leg hooked through the mirror image's, and with a one-footed leap, he moved to smash his opponent between him and the wall.

Raven fights off a grin. There's nothing like a man who knows how to use his tongue.

"That's not natural!" She grunts increduously at his backbend, trying to confuse any soldiers nearby. Nice to know she doesn't have to stay so stiff.

She struggles an arm out of his grapple, letting him smash her up against the wall. Her lungs can take it better than his. The free hand buries in his hair in an attempt to slam his face against the wall.

Patriot heads for whatever shadows he can locate, firing his twin stun blasters as he goes.

[agentof.livejournal.com]

A pair of Parker's elite agents leap out of the way of the stun bolts, returning fire with their own stunning sidearms at Patriot.

He's fought both with and against SHIELD agents many times in his home universe. He recognizes changes in their training, of course... their combat styles are marginally different. But there are enough similarities that he's more easily able to avoid their fire. Two glancing shots sting, but don't cause any real damage.

He presses himself into a niche to avoid the energy bolts, carefully aiming at the unarmored face on one agent before releasing a shot. If it hits, the target will be out for a while, and will wake with one hell of a nasty headache, but will otherwise be okay.

Morph bulks up, taking on a greenish hue, with extra-oversized fists.

"Puny humans! Morph SMASH!"

He leaps at the SHIELD squad.

[agentof.livejournal.com]

Agent Thompson brandishes a stun rifle - larger than the sidearms most of the crew are carrying - specially requisitioned for dealing with the metamorph, based on the readings from the helicarrier.

"Say g'night, Casper.."

A barrage of yellow-white bolts streak at Morph, destabilizing his ability to control the areas where the bolts impact.

[proteus-maximus.livejournal.com]

"Agh!"

Parts of Morph go melty, and he hits the ground, semi-puddled.

"What a world, what a world.."

General Grimm stands there for a moment, conflicted. Even with all this going down, working with Doom...

...on the other hand, it looks like Parker's been planning for a shot at this. "Far be it from me t'dissapoint 'em." Grimm muttered, calmly stepping forward, reaching into his pocket...

...and hurling a grenade towards a nearby group of Spider-Agents. The flashbang goes off with a PAFF, the localized aura of light shreaking out to stun and confuse the target agents, while the General adjusts his protective goggles, and puts his dukes up. "If any a'you kids feels up t'it." Grimm says with a saunter, "I think it's half past clobberin'time!"

[agentof.livejournal.com]

The three agents closest to the flash recoil, shielding their eyes. One of them squints at the blurry form of General Grimm with a grimace.

"The old man is mine."

Special Agent Edward Brock is known as the shortest fuse in Parker's commando squad - and nobody likes him when he's angry. He foregoes his sidearm to leap at Grimm - itching to make the fight personal.

[nuttinbeatsrock.livejournal.com]

WHAM!

Brock hits Grimm dead in the face, causing the older man to wobble a little; showing his age, perhaps, as he struggles to keep standing...

...but why is he smiling? "Thanks." Grimm adds with a wink, "Saved me the jump." The "stumble" suddenly solidifies, Grimm using where the punched positioned him to set up a massive uppercut, aimed right at Brock's exposed chin!

SHIELD agents, by their nature, are not innocents. The Rider howls and jumps into the center of the fray, her long handled fiery hammer in hand, fighting with a berserker rage.

[agentof.livejournal.com]

The agents scatter, leaping out of the way of the fiery hammer. One of them touches a comm device on his ear.

"Zarathos host engaged as predicted - now or never, Madame."

[spidey2099.livejournal.com]

Well, if it's going to get stupid, it's going to get stupid. And if he's been called out as Spider-Man, he might as well pull the mask on and get spider on them.

Lyla drops the illusion of street clothes, and Spidey launches upwards to cling to the ceiling, looking out for Agent Drew while trying to web down any stragglers.

[venom-blast.livejournal.com]

She's on the ceiling as well, crawling towards him swiftly, her stun guns firmly attached to her sides.

[le-chat-noir.livejournal.com]

Felicia, for her part, launched herself into the air, soaring over it for a moment, her eyes wide open and on the lookout for Doom.

[certaindoom.livejournal.com]

This is insipid.

Doom is apparently ignoring the battle while he busies himself attempting to unlock the doors Parker has just latched.

[webslingah.livejournal.com]

Sarah's decided to cut loose (http://community.livejournal.com/elseworldexiles/25140.html?thread=1480756#t1480756), and the thunderclap shakes the hallway, slinging people against the walls and partly shattering the floor.

Parker's elite team is stunned, at the least, and a few are out cold.

As for Parker himself - he's still standing.

"We're.. we're very impressed."

His blue SHIELD uniform fades to black as he speaks, little tendrils spreading across exposed skin on his hands and face.

"Gloves off, then."

He leaps at Sarah, firing weblines from his newly covered hands, directed at her head.

Raven grits her teeth. "I liked you better as a wrestler, Parker."

She grabs Morph and throws the other shapeshifter's bucket shape into Parker's eyes. Grab him, kid. Blind him. Do whatever you can. Go team Doom.

Shit. She may have to rinse her brain with alcohol just for thinking that.

[spidey2099.livejournal.com]

Spider-Man's eyes go wide at the site of those black tendrils.

"Venom?! Shockin' VENOM!"

His talons pop out, and he bounds forward recklessly toward the symbiote bastard, suddenly not caring at all whether or not Parker lives or dies, so long as he's hosting that slopmonster killer.

He's never going to get the image of Dana's death because of this shockin' thing out of his mind.

Colonel Parker checks the vital signs of his team as the Exiles depart, waiting for the door to close behind them before digging out his communicator.

"Excel team, this is Colonel Parker. You are go for intercept."
