STRIKE Issue #1

*Panel shows a riot of civilians in front of the city hall. SPECTRE is not yet a hero.*

SPECTRE: Please everyone!

Calm down please!

CIVILIAN ONE: We don't want to be saved by your vigilantes!

CIVILIAN TWO: Are we training our children to send them to their deaths and call them heroes?! That's just wrong!

SPECTRE: Please calm down!

Our cities heroes are only trying to help you!

CIVILIAN THREE: We don't want their help!

CIVILIAN FOUR: They're just freaks the government's using as soldiers!

*OBSIDIAN makes their way through the crowd and to a place everyone can see them.*

OBSIDIAN: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

CIVILIAN TWO: Oh dear god!

CIVILIAN FOUR: A villain!

OBSIDIAN: Now I would recommend that you all skedaddle. I have some business I need to attend to.

*The crowd all fearfully run away.*

Now we wait for The Actor.

MEANWHILE

*CREAMPUFF, who is not yet CREAMPUFF is heading towards her dance class when she sees THE ACTOR in civvies being suspiciously in a rush.*

CREAMPUFF: Hey Mars!

Where are you off too...?

*THE ACTOR doesn't notice CREAMPUFF and keeps running, CREAMPUFF, suspicious, follows unseen. THE ACTOR runs to the city hall and changes into their uniform before entering.*

THE ACTOR: Obsidian.

OBSIDIAN: Ah, you made it, hero!

I was starting to think you wouldn't show up.

THE ACTOR: Well of course I would show up.

I'm the one who needed to talk to you.

See STRIKE #0

OBSIDIAN: Oh yes, I remember.

Now, what was it that you wanted to discuss?

*CREAMPUFF catches up to THE ACTOR and hides behind a door and watches everything.*

CREAMPUFF: *Whispering, to self* Wait...

Thats The Actor and...

...Obsidian?

Where did Mars go?

THE ACTOR: You'll actually be surprised.

OBSIDIAN: Oh?

THE ACTOR: I want to recruit you. To reform you.

OBSIDIAN: Recruit me? Reform me?

THE ACTOR: Yes.

OBSIDIAN: Now, why would you even want to do that? Hm? Do you think I can really be trusted?

Hero, I'm the bad guy, in case you forgot.

THE ACTOR: Listen, Guy has gone missing.

I didn't have much connection with him after his retirement but I know he wasn't the most social person.

During his hero days you were who we fought against the most.

I don't know...

...I thought you would know something about him or where he might go after studying him for so long.

*Panel shows shock on both OBSIDIAN and CREAMPUFFs faces.*

OBSIDIAN: My...

CREAMPUFF: *Whispering, to self* Guy...is...gone...?

OBSIDIAN: Well...

...That is certainly some interesting news.

THE ACTOR: So...

...What do ya say?

OBSIDIAN: I don't think the public will be very happy if I were to play hero.

THE ACTOR: If you help me with a missing persons case as big as this I'll see what i can do about getting you pardoned.

OBSIDIAN: I doubt you'll do that.

You don't even trust me, do you?

THE ACTOR: I do trust you.

OBSIDIAN: Then prove it.

THE ACTOR: How about I make you a deal?

If you join me, I'll tell you who's behind the mask.

*OBSIDIAN smiles.*

OBSIDIAN: Alright, hero.

You've got yourself a deal.

*THE ACTOR and OBSIDIAN shake hands to seal the deal.*

OBSIDIAN: So now tell me, who are you?

*THE ACTOR slowly takes off their mask*

CREAMPUFF: *Gasp. Whispering, to self.* Oh my god...

The Actor is...

THE ACTOR: My name is...

CREAMPUFF AND THE ACTOR: Mars!

*CREAMPUFF was a little to loud and was heard by THE ACTOR catching their attention. THE ACTOR suddenly looks toward the door, CREAMPUFF covers her mouth in fear.*

THE ACTOR: I'm sorry, I thought I heard something.

OBSIDIAN: *In awe* ...Your beautiful.

THE ACTOR: Hm?

*THE ACTOR quickly turns back to face OBSIDIAN who is slowly reaching their arm towards THE ACTOR who takes a large step back.*

OBSIDIAN: I thought you trusted me.

*THE ACTOR leans forwards to show trust and OBSIDIAN tucks a few strands of hair behind THE ACTORs ears, holding their face.*

OBSIDIAN: Heh, I didn't know you had freckles...

...They're cute.

*THE ACTOR smiles. OBSIDIAN takes off their own mask and leans in for a kiss. THE ACTOR pulls away.*

THE ACTOR: Well, um uh. Good to know your on the team...

...I've got a uh, few more people to talk to so um I'll stay in touch...

*THE ACTOR puts both of their masks back on to hide the fact that they are currently a blushing mess as they head toward to window and pull out a grappling hook.*

OBSIDIAN: But...

THE ACTOR: Good bye!

*THE ACTOR grapples away. OBSIDIAN throws their mask down and sit on the windowsill.*

OBSIDIAN: Stupid!

Ugh! what is wrong with you that was a stupid move!

*CREAMPUFF looks back at her dance bag and thinks hard while staring at a dark blue crop top with a heart logo.*

LATER

*Panels show THE ACTOR arrive at a cabin house on the outskirts of town and an apartment door, both residents answer.*

THE ACTOR: Hello...

...V.

...Bug.

I am putting together a team to search for a missing persons and I am well aware of your abilities.

BLURRY FACE: My abilities? I-I don't know what your talking about...

...You must have the wrong person.

SPECTRE: Missing? Who's gone missing?

THE ACTOR: V, I am well aware that you have been following Guy and I for the past few years.

I know very well about the powers of your incense and crystals as well.

Guy has gone missing, I need your expertise to help find him.

SPECTRE: I'm not so sure if I'm the right person for this, don't get me wrong I would love to help but...

There is nothing special about me.

BLURRY FACE: And all this time I thought I was being sneaky.

Ok, I'll help!

THE ACTOR: Nonsense. I've heard about how you can calm a crowd and that you are incredibly handy with a computer.

We could use a tech expert on our team.

SPECTRE: Wow, thats really an honor...

...I would love to join you! Thank you so much for this opportunity!

THE ACTOR: Perfect!

*THE ACTOR hands them both a card.*

THE ACTOR: Meet me at this address on saturday next week at exactly 4:45.

Don't be late.

BLURRY FACE: Will do!

SPECTRE: Thank you! I'll be there!

LATER

*OBSIDIAN is stopped in an alleyway by CREAMPUFF in a makeshift uniform made from her dance clothes.*

OBSIDIAN: And who might you be?

CREAMPUFF: I'm no one.

But...

*CREAMPUFF threatenly leans in toward OBSIDIAN.*

CREAMPUFF: If you dare hurt Mars.

I'll kill you.

*OBSIDIAN nonchalantly pushes CREAMPUFF back with one hand.*

OBSIDIAN: Calm down, creampuff.

You got nothing to worry about.

*OBSIDIAN walks away.*

CREAMPUFF: Sure.

But I'll be watching.

Btw, I may be writing a full out story on the side but I'm willing to write villain x hero stories that you guys recommend, free commissions ig :) request away!!

STRIKE: Issue #0

THE ACTOR is shown hung upside down from the ceiling of what looks like an abandoned observatory in the city.*

THE ACTOR: Damn.

I feel so dizzy.

*THE ACTOR slowly begins to wake up*

THE ACTOR: Shouldn't I be used to this by now?

*Panels show time passing as OBSIDIAN dramatically monologues.*

THE ACTOR: Does this guy ever stop talking?

*OBSIDIAN stops monologuing and leans in close to THE ACTOR's face.*

OBSIDIAN: Are you even listening to me, hero?

THE ACTOR: Hm?

*OBSIDIAN stands straight up and crosses their arms*

OBSIDIAN: I knew it. You weren't paying attention.

THE ACTOR: Oh great.

OBSIDIAN: Aren't you heroes suppose to listen to a villains evil scheme so they can stop it from happening?

THE ACTOR: Here we go again...

OBSIDIAN: That's your job isn't it?

THE ACTOR: Oh no, sorry. I was listening...

... To the first part...

OBSIDIAN: Excuse me?

THE ACTOR: ...Then you kinda just dragged off into the cliche.

*The shadow of GUY appears in the background sneaking into the room, unnoticed by THE ACTOR and OBSIDIAN.*

OBSIDIAN: Cliche?

Now, what part of my evil plan is cliche?!

*The figure of GUY slowly is shown behind an oblivious OBSIDIAN.*

GUY: Well first off...

*OBSIDIAN jumps.*

OBSIDIAN: Huh?!

GUY: ...Your a villain monologuing your plans to a heroes helpless sidekick.

*Fear is shown on OBSIDIAN's face while THE ACTOR is annoyed with GUY's comment.*

THE ACTOR: Helpless?

Sidekick?

I may be acting helpless right now but I am NOT your sidekick, Guy!!

We're partners...

...Remember?

*THE ACTOR easily escapes from the ropes that tie them to the ceiling.*

GUY: We'll have this conversion later.

Besides...

...I was ranked number one in The Directors training classes...

*Mockingly* ...Remember?

*OBSIDIAN runs to the other side of the large room to retrieve a gun like weapon from a dusty table, they point the weapon at GUY from across the room.*

OBSIDIAN: Stay back!

This thing hasn't been tested yet...

...No one knows the damage it can do, not even me!

*GUY puts his hands up defensively.*

GUY: Obsidian, please. Put the gun down.

*OBSIDIAN prepares to shoot.*

OBSIDIAN: Make me.

*THE ACTOR shows up behind OBSIDIAN and knocks them out with a single blow to the head-OBSIDIAN falls to the ground.*

THE ACTOR: So...

Who's the helpless one now?

Ah, those were the times.

Gotta miss them.

A FEW MONTHS LATER

*That memory fades as THE ACTOR looks up from a picture of them and GUY on their phone before they angrily walk into their HQ in a torn uniform, GUY sits on the couch in civies.*

THE ACTOR: Hey!

Where were you? I've been sitting, tied up, in some wannabes lair waiting for you.

And don't lie to me, the tracker was on.

GUY: Sorry.

*THE ACTOR takes off their mask and puts their hair up to get more comfortable.*

THE ACTOR: Sorry isn't gonna cut it, Ry.

I risk my life everyday going out there and purposefully getting caught so we can find the bad guys base and take 'em down together as a team but it looks to me like someone is forgetting their part in that plan.

*GUY looks up to THE ACTOR briefly and then looks back down.*

GUY: Sorry.

THE ACTOR: Oh, I know what this is about...

...Your distracted by that girl again, aren't you?

*THE ACTOR sits on the couch next to GUY.*

THE ACTOR: What was her name again...

*THE ACTOR snaps their fingers trying to remember the name.*

THE ACTOR: Oh, it was Lily. Right?

GUY: Yeah...

*GUY takes a deep breath and turns to face THE ACTOR.*

GUY: Mars, I've been thinking...

*THE ACTOR tilts their head in confusion.*

THE ACTOR: Hm?

GUY: I think I'm going retire from this whole hero thing.

*THE ACTOR stands up from the couch from surprise.*

THE ACTOR: What?!

Why? What brought this on?

GUY: Its Lily...

...If we are going to be more serious I don't want to put her in any danger.

THE ACTOR: You do realize that you are throwing away your entire life's work for a girl, right?

Are you really sure this is what you want to do...

*GUY stands up from the couch.*

GUY: I've thought this through a lot, and...

*GUY places his hand on THE ACTORs shoulders.*

GUY: ...And I think you are ready to be on your own.

THE ACTOR: ...What...?

GUY: I've seen how impressive you are in the field.

I know that you can be an incredible solo hero...

...Without me.

THE ACTOR: ...Rydel...

GUY: I'm sorry, Mars.

*GUY grabs a bag and walks toward the door before turning back.*

GUY: I really am.

ONE YEAR LATER

*Panel shows bells ringing and red lights flashing at a high tech prison, OBSIDIAN walks out of the building with a smug look on their face.*

OBSIDIAN: Ah, hero!

Glad to see you could join the show! Where's your *mockingly* partner at?

*THE ACTOR steps into frame.*

THE ACTOR: Enough of this, Roach. You know he's been retired for a year.

OBSIDIAN: Oh, so we're using our real names now, huh?

That's sad...

...I kinda liked it when you'd beg for your life to Obsidian.

*Panel shows THE ACTORs unamused face as OBSIDIAN mockingly acts out what they meant on their knees.*

OBSIDIAN: Oh no, Obsidian!

Obsidian please don't kill me!

I beg you!

Obsidiaaannnn!

*THE ACTOR tries to hold back a laugh, arms crossed trying to look tough.*

THE ACTOR: >tt<

I don't sound like that.

*OBSIDIAN stands back up*

OBSIDIAN: Maybe not, but admit it...

...You found that funny!

THE ACTOR: I did not.

OBSIDIAN: Did too!

*THE ACTOR smiles slightly.*

THE ACTOR: *Quietly* Did not...

OBSIDIAN: Your smiling!

You did!

HEHEHEHAHAHAHAAA

*OBSIDIANs laughter fades and their tone turns to be more serious.*

OBSIDIAN: So, hero.

Why do you come and intercept me here? I wasn't the one who caused this jailbreak...

...Perhaps you should go after whoever that may be.

THE ACTOR: I wanted to talk.

OBSIDIAN: Talk, hey?

And why would you want to do that? Hm?

THE ACTOR: Roach, this is serious.

OBSIDIAN: There you go again.

THE ACTOR: Hm?

OBSIDIAN: Hey, why is it that you get to call me by my name when I don't even know yours?

THE ACTOR: Maybe you'll learn it one day.

But now isn't the time, I need to speak with you.

OBSIDIAN: Well how about this, we can talk tonight.

Meet me at the city hall, on the highest floor. Its the meeting room, the one with the stage.

THE ACTOR: What time?

*OBSIDIAN smirks.*

OBSIDIAN: You'll know.

Now farewell, dear hero, until tonight.

THE ACTOR: Until tonight.

Obsidian.
