I decided to document the rolls and basic "plot" and weave them into a tale of sorts. The actions, and dice rolls are made by the character's respective players. While I've taken it upon myself to add some flavor text to spice it up for those interested in that sort of thing. Players were told the basic plot and were instructed to TRY and play their characters true to form more or less. The important thing was to have fun with it.
I'll be posting the events as fast as I can, understandably this is going to take longer to write out than the fight itself. I'll be breaking the Rounds into 10 Char chunks at time until the end of the battle.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy!!
THE GAME
40 bewildered being from across the multi-verse have found themselves transported to ruined landscape to do battle by a powerful and unknown assailant. With what is most precious to them at risk, they are given one goal. Be the last one standing...
This is their story...
ROUND ONE
STARFIRE
Kori awakens in a ruined apartment. Confused, she immediately grows angry, that bastard got the drop on her somehow. She quickly scans her surroundings. The place is old and decrepit with moldering walls and scattered furniture. Rancid water drips from the ceiling coating the debris in a thin film.
Jumping to her feet, she turns her head and rises into the air before floating cautiously out the door and up the hall. She hears someone stirring in a nearby room and moves to attack by bursting through the wall. Shielding himself from the shower of rotten wood and bricks, her foe spins to face her.
“Gotcha!” She smiles as she unleashes a ramped up star bolt.
Sub-Zero winces under the blinding light of the blast as he narrowly spins away and crouches into a battle stance.
“Hardly...” He chuckles, knowing the fight will be a good one.

IRON FIST
Danny's eyes bolt open as the sound of a blast startles him awake. He recalls vividly the task set before him. He tries not to think about it as he springs to his feet and looks about. The battered office building has seen better days as the windows are shattered and the walls crumbling from exposure to the elements. Moving in silence, he makes his way to the nearest window and peers through the tattered blinds. A darkened, desolate cityscape lays before him. Grim faced, he takes it all and thinks about what is ahead.
“It's started...” He mumbled quietly before setting off to face his fate.
Iron Fist (Mechanics)
(Move Action: Stealth will searching for the source of the blast. Roll14 + 10 (24)
SUB-ZERO
Locking his gaze upon the fiery maiden before him. Sub-Zero's thoughts touched briefly upon the other victims. It didn't matter, he'd seen this sort of death-match countless times. It was kill or be killed and he would not hesitate. The girl used fire, in fact she seemed aglow with an inner heat. He'd kill her with his bare hands he decided and moves to attack.
Starfire's eyes narrow at his advance as she continues her rain of starbolts. Barely keeping ahead of the barrage, Sub-Zero fires a sheet of ice across the ground and hits it at a run. Skidding forward beneath her, leaps into the air and slams her with a vicious hay-maker to the face.

AANG
Avatar Kyoshi grew impatient, the boy would have to make sacrifices in order to survive this. It was time she noted, it had already started. With that in mind she gave a shout while kicking him in the ribs.
“WAKE UP!”
Aang burst to his feet with an explosion of air. “I'm up! I'm up! What did I miss!?” He yelped then sank back to the ground. Was it a dream? Sometimes past Avatars would visit him while he slept, offering insight or visions. Glumly he recalled the earlier encounter in the chamber. So many strange people, Iroh was there though, for that he was thankful. He could only wonder where the old man was now.
Groggy, he looked about the dilapidated structure. Strange devices lay scattered about, but he recognized enough to realize it was some manner of hospital. His thoughts strayed to his friends, they needed him. Steeling his nerve he, sensed someone nearby. He could feel the vibrations of their movements through his feet and prepared for what was to come.
He could simply incapacitate his foes he reasoned, surely that would be enough. He had to hope so, he couldn't bring himself to kill someone. With that mind he moved quickly to try and take them down without to much of a fuss. It was better for both of them. Rounding a corner, he came face to face with his foe.
“Oh boy...” Aang frowned as the man moved to draw an arrow for the large compound bow he carried. “Oh no you don't!” He chirped as he brought both arms down in a slashing motion. The soggy structure had plenty of ambient of water and for that he was thankful as he summoned icy tendrils to snare his foe. Exploding from the very walls the tendrils coalesced in the air around their target.
Hawkeye's eyes widened, he'd underestimated the kid and it cost him as ice began to solidify around him. Realizing the kid had him dead to rights if he didn't break free, he burst forward in a surge of strength. He was only partially successful in escaping the slurry before it hardened and now found himself coated in a thick layer of hoarfrost that hampered his movements. He had to put the kid down, preferably without hurting him. With that in mind, he notched special arrow.

CHUN LI
Rain fell upon her face the chill causing her to stir. Rising to her feet she took in her surroundings. She was in a half collapsed garage of some sorts perhaps a gas station. A ruin of a car sat on it's rims nearby. Covered in debris and muck from the roof that had collapsed long ago it was of a make she did not recognize. She felt dread, something sinister was afoot. She recalled the gathering before being brought here. The old television with the bizarre puppet on the monitor
As she quietly made her way from the garage she recalled seeing Ryu. Would he be an ally or a foe in this, she could only wonder. Stepping into the open air she breathed deep then gasped in shock. A towering robot stood before her, as tall as a building the behemoth was making it's way towards a structure south of her location. As it turned it's head to regard her with soulless eyes she quickly moved into action.
At a glance she summed up her foe. It seemed battered and slow so she was confident she could hurt it. Still, she knew she couldn't close the distance before it could react and she had little doubt it wouldn’t hesitate to attack if given a chance. With that in mind she thrust her hands forward, leveling her palms in the direction of the thing's head.
“Kikoken!” She shouted, channeling her ki into swirling blue fireball. Screaming through the air, the blast quickly began to loose steam. The distance was bit farther than she thought and at first she fretted she'd missed until the thing turned her way and inadvertently stepped into the path of the comparatively tiny fireball.
“Stupid robot” She mused inwardly, then frowned as the blast exploded brightly against the thing's chest to no effect.
Fully facing her, the Sentinel bellowed loudly, it's machine voice echoing loudly through the area. As spotlights on it's shoulders zeroed in on her location.
“Mutant energy signature observed, unable to scan. Error, adjusting attack parameters.”
“Stupid me...” Chun Li smirked grimly. It was gallows humor.

HAWKEYE
While he could be a bastard, Clint wasn't a cruel man. He knew the stakes however and he'd fought monsters in the guise of children before. Either way, he didn't want to take a chance.
“Okay kid, sorry but I gotta take you down. I'll make it as painless as possible.”
Taking aim, he notices Aang already moving to dodge his shot, with lighting reflexes he readjusts his shot to intercept him as he moves, just barely though as it catches him in the heel of his bare foot.
“Take that Achilles!” Clint laughs at the irony.
With a shout of surprise Aang spasms wildly then flails about on one foot in a twitching daze. Eying his attacker with annoyance he chatters awkwardly while trying to regain his senses.
“Hey! You shot me in the foot with an arrow, who does that?”
“I guess I do...” Clint laughs while struggling in vain to rid himself of the thick layer of frost hampering his movements. Flustered, he narrows his eyes at Aang. “Kid, you're getting on my nerves.”

SNAKE-EYES
Snake Eyes rises to his feet, sharp and alert he scans his environment. Urban location, ruins, an office complex by the looks of it. He knew he had multiple foes in the area so stealth was paramount. Quick and quiet, hit and run, that was method of the day. Moving silently he slips into a paper strewn hall, a quick glance at the fallen ceiling tiles revealed no foes. However, movement at the end of the hall catches his eye.
A tall young woman stands in confusion as she peers cautiously into darkened room. Dressed in a school girl's sailors outfit, she is leggy and unassuming outside of statue. Snake-Eyes can only wonder at the reason for the strange attire. It doesn't matter he realizes and rushes forward. Thrusting his sword at her shoulder blades he aims to collapse a lung. The wound shouldn't be fatal with care, but should take her out of the fight.
A piece of debris falls from the ceiling as he closes the distance. Jupiter turns at the last second unwitting allowing the blade to scratch across her ribs with barely a scratch. Startled, she jumps back and takes a defensive pose.
“Assassin!” She shouts in outrage as lightning erupts around her. “You blew your chance and now I'm taking you down!!”
Snake Eyes sighs under his mask, thankful that none of his allies saw that.

SPIDER WOMAN
Jessica Drew had seen some things and even she was surprised at her present situation. She'd awakened in the dusty ruins of a old strip club. Standing on the stage, the irony wasn't lost upon her. Frowning she looked about as she recalled the cryptic message the strange doll had said on television.
“I'd like to play game..” It'd said, it's voice was old and scratchy.
Damn tricksters... Perhaps it was Arcade she reasoned. This had his MO all over it. Either way, she had loved ones to protect which meant she had to play along until she could find a way out of here. It was then that she noticed him.
Captain Britain, she'd seen him a few times. Strong, tough, and a moody drunk the last she'd heard. He was sprawled atop the bar and slowly rising to his feet. Looking her way their eyes met.
“Hey stranger...” She purrs hoping that her pheromones had already taken affect.
“Yeah.. no.” Brian responds with a snort as hops off the bar and readies himself.
“Yeah well. Can't blame a girl for trying.” She smirked before promptly blasting him in the face with her venom blasts.
Caught off guard by the speed of her attack. Captain Britain staggers back against the bar as the blast sears his face. Jessica smiles, she has him she thinks then gapes in shock as he lumbers forward unfazed, smoking and enraged.

CYBORG
Cyborg made his way out of the crumbling public restroom. He didn't appreciate waking up on a toilet in the stall. Annoyed he stepped out into the dark streets. Turning his head he heard a robot voice booming nearby. As good a place to start as any he reasons as he fires the rockets in his boots to propel him over the twisted landscape and into a debris strewn parking lot. What greets him doesn't even give him pause as the towering Sentinel looms over head.
“Giant robot, got it, nothing new here, Booyah! He snorts and unloads with his white sound cannon.
The beam strikes the Sentinel in the back of the head causing it to stagger forward several booming steps. Chun Li in the distance gawks in awe and is thankful for the distraction.
The Sentinel meanwhile turns to face it's attack and bellows loudly.
“Omega level threat detected. Non Mutant signature. Cybernetic humanoid, hostile. Adjusting defense parameters.
