Turning the Tables
Team: 

Hero's Preston Stormer, Will Furno, Julius Nex and Nathan Evo with Recon Team agent Merrick Fortis

Objective:
Ambush and capture the fire villains to save Tanker Station 22.
Furno's Log:

I woke up with not much idea of what had happened. I looked at my surroundings and it all came flooding back to me. I the three villains gulping down some fuel and they let off a radiance of heat. Stormer and the others were still unconscious and tided up just like me. I felt like it was over when I remembered that the rookies, Nex and Evo, were still out their and hopefully on their way here now. I just had to wait for them to get here. I tried to break through the chains which, unlike Hero Cuffs, were made of a solid metal. Unfortunately, I didn't succeed.

"Try all you want." Said the Fire Lord as he approached me. "Those chains are made from one of the toughest metals in the known galaxy."

"So what know?" I said back. "Why are we still alive."

The Fire Lord chuckled. "Leverage of course, the Hero Factory wouldn't dare attack us with your lives on the line. Ad with no Hero's we can drink as much oil as we like."

"For what ends?" I asked harshly. "What will you gain?"

"Power, so much power." He ranted. "We used to be simple mining bots until we began to question our dictators. 'Why do we have to do all the dirty work and not get anything out of it.' We were inhibited to think such thoughts until an... accident. We changed, rebelled. It was only after our revolution we realised we were getting weak. We needed oil to survive, and with that oil we grew stronger and stronger. Then we came here. This place has so much oil that it will keep us running for at least another 1000 solar rotations."

On that note he walked off to his fuel. I then saw Nex and Evo and they were hidden behind some oil barrels. The fire villains were busy drinking and didn't notice them. I nodded at Nex and he took aim. Two shots pierced through the chains and I was free.

Nitroblast noticed and alerted the other villains. "He's escaped, we need to stop him!"

I collected my weapon and began firing at the charging foes. I jumped and kicked Nitroblast in the face. Then I shot at Drilldozer and knocked him down. Nex and Evo then came charging into  the battle along with the Fire Lord.

"Get them." The Fire Lord shouted at his minions. He then turned to me and said: "This ones mine."

He opened fire on me and shards of metal flew everywhere from the explosions and I decided I had to lead this fight away from here just encase the others got hurt, or worse. I ran for it and constantly kept shooting back at him. He then activated his jets and made a massive shock wave as he charged towards me at mind blowing speeds. I kept firing but it had no effect, all the fuel he'd been drinking had made him almost unstoppable. He grabbed me and hit me against the wall.

"Maybe keeping as a hostage is to much of a bargain." He raged. "But that doesn't matter, 'cause I have and idea that will change all that risk."

His lava shooter glowed red hot and it was aimed right at my core. I lashed out and kicked him directly in the chest. I then went behind him and took a few shots but he was still standing tall. He then shot but I jumped over the projectile. The shot went on and hit Nitroblast in the back and the force knocked him out cold. Evo and Nex then teamed up and took Drilldozer by surprise. With the villains out and cuffed Nex and Evo went to free Stormer and the others.

I still had the Fire Lord out so I put a bit of distance and threw a Hero Charge at him. It detonated and I thought the fight was finally over but I was wrong. He was so strong that he was standing after the charge had detonated.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" He laughed. "My strength is unstoppable. Much more than your puny charge."

I decided he was half right. He wasn't taken down by the charge but the temperature had dropped so I guessed he was less powerful than before. I now had the advantage and wasn't going to waist it. I opened fire and didn't stop. He shot back and blew me off my feet.

"Need a hand?" I looked up to see Stormer who had also recovered.

"Thanks." I replied. "Now lets take him down."

"You can try." The Fire Lord said. "But you know you'll fail, just like before."

He took another shot but we both dodged the strike. Stormer opened fire, distracting him, while I jumped up and knocked him down. I then used the chains that he had used on me to tie him up.

"Best metal in the known galaxy." I joked. "Lets see how strong you are know."

Me and Stormer walked towards the Drop Ship that had just landed on the Station. A Hero who I didn't recognise came to greet us.

"Merrick Fortis, head of Hero Recon Team." He said. "On behalf of the Hero Factory I commend you both for your valour and commitment in capturing these villains."

"Hero... what?" I asked as I shook his hand.

"Hero Recon Team." He replied. "A secret organisation created by the Hero Factory. But that's all I'm allowed to say unless you want your memory wiped."

"Oh no, I'm fine." I said.

"Thanks for coming but where were you when we were capture and chained up to a fuel canister." Stormer asked harshly.

"We've been flying around above for a while but we couldn't get through because we were shot at numerous times and couldn't sustain the damage any longer." Merrick said. "We stayed up there and monitored your progress all the way."

"So what now?" I asked.

"Get back to the Factory, and wait for the next mission to come our way." Stormer replied. "You did good Furno, your becoming a great Hero. Someday you might even be better than me."

He walked away and left me looking on at the sunset, and the possible future ahead...

Hero Recon Team: Andrew Forge

Leader a high ranked member of Hero Recon Team, Andrew Forge leads his team against a group of villains after the Highly explosive material hidden in a coal mine. Forge is an expert in all kinds of attacks, his claws handles up close fighting and his gun takes care of long range, he also has a jetpack for areal strikes and quick getaways which are useful for the majority of recon missions. However, as soon as he journeys down into the cramped mine his jet pack is all but useless and the only way to make an escape is on his own two feet. When he becomes captured his fate rests in the hands the rookie Matt Freeze who leads the Hero's to free Forge and stop the villains, but will the make it in time?

Hero Recon Team: Spyclops

A villain who prefers to go solo on scouting missions than sticking with his allies. His alliance with Triclops is a rough one but what keeps them together is their pure hatred of the Hero Factory. When Hero's arrive on the scene, Spyclops endures this opportunity to rip them apart. He has an unusual mixture of both speed and strength which makes him an ultimate killing machine. He prefers not to carry weapons when his claws are so much better. Could this be the time when Hero Recon Team falls?

Hero Recon Team: Mike Edge

A skilled scientist and part of the Hero Recon Team, Mike Edge isn't usually on mission but instead is examining evidence brought back from Hero's on recon missions. However he is forced to get his hands dirty in a dark coal mine with danger around ever turn. He uses his power drill for freeing buried workers, clearing paths and as a weapon to ram into villains, but is fighting really what's at heart for this young Hero?

Hero Recon Team: Triclops

A villain who will do any thing to get his hands on some of the explosive material hidden in a coal mine, even betray his own allies. He may no seem as dangerous as his companions but he's arguably the most dangerous with his keen mind. He hatches plans and strategies and his quick movement allows him to spring traps on the Hero's. If anyone is able to survive his hidden micro explosives then his razor spikes will finish the job. When this villains around Hero's need to be extremely cautious because one more step could be their last.

Hero Recon Team: Kate Amazon

An experienced and skilled member of Hero Recon team. She's been serving with Andrew Forge for a while now but still maintains the rank of rookie. She longs for the day she will finally get promoted but her aggressive nature gets her into fights with villains and can't be trusted with that rank in the Recon Team. She's the toughest female Hero ever built at the Factory. Her size and strength have given her the name Amazon, after the Greek legends. Now she can't finally let out her strength in order to stop the attack on coal mine and keep the explosive material inside away from the wrong hands but can they hold the position until back up arrives?

Mission 19: Ambush (1 of 2)

Mission:
Ambush
Team: 

Veterans Preston Stormer, Will Furno, Natalie Breez and Mark Surge
Objective:
Ambush and capture the fire villains to save Tanker Station 22.
Stormer's Log:

We arrived at Breez's position as soon as possible. I sent the rookies to secure Jetbug so we were short in numbers for the time being. I sent Surge to a higher point for him to be able to give us cover fire. We had the Fire Lord our sight and all that was left was Nitroblast and Drilldozer to fall into place. We had arrived before them in hopes of setting up an ambush and so far everything was going as planned.

The other fire villains enter and I signalled Surge to get ready. They walked up to the Fire Lord and began talking to him. I decided to take a small amount of time to listen in to what they were saying.

"Nitroblast, Drilldozer." The Fire Lord began. "I see your free from the Hero's."

"Yes, my lord." Nitroblast said and Drilldozer let out a little giggle. Probably because of the loyalty Nitroblast was showing to his leader.

"Hmm," The Fire Lord said. "Were one short."

"Jetbug sir." Nirtoblast informed. "The Hero's got him before he could make an escape."

"That is... unfortunate." The Fire Lord said but I don't think he meant a word of it. "Now come, you need  more oil in your system. Prison Cells must have weakened you and you will need to be at full strength for our next attack."

They started to walk away and our attack had to be now. "Surge, fire!"

The shot hit Drilldozer dead on and me, Furno and Breez followed on from that my jumping down and launched a close-combat assault. Nitroblast went straight for me in an attempt to take me out of the battle. Every shot I made was met by a sphere of lava.

"Seem like a stalemate Hero!" Nitroblast laughed.

"I don't think so." I said back as my shots were getting closer and closer until... BOOM! Nitroblast was knocked of his feet. I was about to move onto the Fire Lord but he took of and was heading straight for Surge!

It only took seconds for Surge to realize. He made a risky jump and went into a mid-air wrestle with the Fire Lord but Surge wasn't strong enough and got thrown to the flour. He was hurt but still standing. The Fire Lords onslaught hadn't ended their however. He then bombarded us with a hail of fire and lava. My last thought was that our lives were now in the hands of the rookies and then it all went dark...
