Heroes Legion: "Year One": Episode 15: The Return of the Made-Men

Chapter 7: Heroes Legion vs The Made-Men

South Manhattan, Street outside of the "Channel 5" News Building: February 25th, 2014: 3:17 PM

The Heroes Legion stood out there in front of the Channel 5 News building, waiting for the Made-Men to make their move.

Mentally conversing with one another via M-Leaders telepathy, planning out their strategies.

That was one thing that they had over the Made-Men, they could make plans on the fly via telepathy...plus they had been working as a team doing actual training and team strategy.

The Made-Men may have managed to come up with this plan to mentally enslave the city via Television broadcast, but from what they saw in M-Leader's mind when he had contacted them mentally with his powers. They weren't really a close knit team like they had become.

Velocity had put it best when he saw Shriek abuse Spellbinder and Blind-Lure a moment ago in M-Leader's "Psychic vision" ability when he said, "A team huh? I'd give them three more days tops before they start attacking each other with the battle-axe there pushing them all around."

They figured that when the Made-Men made their way down here, their first plan of battle strategy would be to just attack the Heroes Legion on sight like they had last time.

The Heroes Legion on the other hand weren't going for the "Leroy Jenkins" ploy.

They weren't here without a plan of their own.

"Are you sure that you got that glorified Laser gun of yours to work?" Shadow Knight thought.

"Power neutralizer" Silicon answered mentally, "And yes, I did. I think."

"You think?!" Velocity exclaimed, "We're going into battle against a team of super powered yahoo's and he says he "thinks" our wildcard is ready to play!? We're in trouble!"

"Hey!" Silicon said annoyed at Velocity's remark, "I've crunched the numbers, and I'm certain the Power Neutralizer will work. There's just two problems."

"Which are?" Raven Ducard asked warily, she didn't like the sound of that at all.

"Well, since I had to put the M-50 inside it one the go while heading with you all to this latest fight we've gotten ourselves into. It will take a full twelve minutes for it to reach full power in order to be used on the Made-Men. Plus...in order for this to work in one shot. We need to get the Made-Men to stand still, bunched together in one spot for about.....twenty five and a half seconds." Silicon explained, laying down the downsides to that part of the plan. The usage of his newest invention: The power Neutralizer."

"WHAT?! Why didn't you mention this to us earlier when we were going over the battle plans in the Battle-Falcon on the way here, slick?" Atlanta chided.

"Sorry. I was too busy trying to get the M-50 crystal I snagged from the vault into the device at the time to really worry about it" Silicon said sheepishly, "I guess I got carried away in the moment of knowing how to make It worked I didn't stop and think about the finer details behind making it work."

"So we got to beat these guys, and somehow get them bunched together in one place long enough to zap them with that Power Neutralizer device?" Murdoch asked askance at the absurdity of the task that had just been unwelcomely added to the plan.

"Like I said. We're in trouble!" Velocity said in dismay.

"We've seen worse" Shadow Knight pointed out, "Let's just stick to the plan, and hope there are no further alterations to it while we do so."

"Better be ready everyone" Robo-Warrior warned, "If my thermal scanners are correct in their current readings on the main floor of the News building. Here they come!"
