Steve had been a prop plane pilot for 15 years.  His current gig had him ferrying passengers around the Vegas landscape, viewing the sights from above.  In all his years, he had never seen weather like this.  Flying around Las Vegas in February was usually a little rough, but this weather was like nothing he had ever seen.  As where the weather was usually cold and wet this time of year, this cloud cover offered no precipitation.  It had the cloud to cloud lightning indicative of a heat storm, not a Blue Norther.

 

As his plane descended through the clouds, visibility went to zero.  He was only 10 miles out of Las Vegas International and would apparently have to rely on instruments.  As he examined the gauges, wondering what he would expect when he breached the cloud ceiling, he heard and felt a thud.  It wasn't a normal turbulence jolt.  It was more specific.

 

Looking out the side window, he saw the shape of a man crouched on the wing.  He recognized him as KZAZ, one of the No Mercy Death Squad.  His eyes blazed red and his coat flapped wildly in the wind.  Looking up in the air Steve followed his gaze to the form of a red and black hero flying alongside and a little above the plane.  Steve recognized Vexator of the Akkadian Knights as well.  Just as Steve was wondering what had the two world class heroes out here in the middle of nowhere, KZAZ reached down, grabbed the prop propeller by the shaft, and ripped it out of the engine!  The engine immediately protested with a shower of sparks and flames!  Steve grabbed the stick immediately, but knew the damage was done.  His plane, and the 5 passengers onboard, were going down.

 

Outside, Vexator saw KZAZ rip the propeller off with his bare hand.  He was just swift enough to dodge out of the way as it sailed past his neck with incredible force.  Within moments, KZAZ was on top of him as the two powerful heroes attacked each other mid-air.  Although Vex could fly, shield himself and boost his own agility at the same time, it taxed him to do so.  Unlike most heroes, he could use any number of powers at one time, but grew weaker the farther he stretched himself.  This was pushing him to his limit.

 

A bright green flash of light told Vex that Quantum Elemental was still hard at work taking down Rosalina and Holy Avenger.  The two NMDS members had been the first to attack the Knights on their way into Las Vegas to check out the disturbance and were still giving them grief but had received a rude awakening when they ran into the senior Knight.  The three were exchanging energy blasts that lit up the sky.  Above them, Destiny was calling on the elements to do battle with F, a formidable opponent on the worst of days.  Although she had no clear advantage, she was holding her own and at least occupying the hero until help could arrive.

 

Caledonia shot out of the clouds after the descending aircraft.  About 900 feet off the ground, she managed to extend a force field over the plane.  Using her formidable telekinesis, she began pulling up on it and slowing it's descent until it was nearly hovering in the air.  Above her the ominous form of Group of Hero appeared.  "The boss says no survivors... that means all of you!"Group of Hero called bolts of lightning out of the darkening sky on top of Caledonia.  It was all she could do to maintain her grip on the plane as the electricity seared her form.  From nowhere, Captain Stumpy slammed into Group of Hero in an effort to stop the assault, but only managed to get caught in his iron grip by the throat.  Group of Hero merely turned his head as Captain Stumpy blasted the side of his face with Heat Vision and squeezed the junior Knight's throat even harder, cutting off the blood flow to his brain.

 

With the lightning assault momentarily abating, Caledonia resumed her efforts to lower the plane safely to the ground below.  Seconds later, Captain Stumpy's limp, unconscious form went hurtling past her towards the earth below and with an evil grin Group of Hero resumed his assault.  Calling down massive bolts of lightning, the power of Mother Nature itself, she lost her grip on the crippled plane and it fell towards the earth below once more.

 

As all appeared lost for the passengers of the plane another much larger craft descended silently from the cloud cover behind Group of Hero.  The powerful NMDS member turned just in time to see the Defender, the Akkadian Knight’s spacecraft.  Piloted by the leader of the Akkadian Knights, Eron, the craft shot 10 plasma bolts inrapid succession at him.  Eron flipped a switch by the fire control and spoke into the intercom, "NOW Wrath".  Wrathius, standing on top of the defender, wasted no time and jumped from the plane into the void of space and onto Group of Hero.  His sharp talons tore into the strong warrior's armor and ripped his chestplate clean off. Wyldecard, exercising his own newly discovered flight ability, flew up and planted an Atomic Grasp on him.  A shower of green energy coursed through the mighty hero and with a scream of both fury and anguish, his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.  Wyldecard caught both him and Wrathius and set them down on the top of the hovering defender.

 

With Group of Hero's attack ceasing, Caledonia re-intensified her force field and stopped the prop plane as it passed the tallest trees on it's way to the ground.  With as much might as she could muster, she extended herself and caught Captain Stumpy mere inches from the ground.  Caledonia set the crippled plane and unconscious hero down and began helping the thankful pilot and passengers to the ground.

 

As the team descended to the earth below, Quantum Elemental appeared carrying the two beaten forms of Rosalina and Holy Avenger.  Landing in a clearing 10 miles north of the Strip, the team met up with BatMAn who had already incapacitated to other NMDS team members, Keeshee and Elbizarro.  Destiny made a rough landing near the ship, exhausted from the battle above.  "He managed to get away..." she gasped.  Wrath helped her to her feet gingerly, "don't worry.  He'll turn up."  Moments later, Vexator joined them looking rather pleased with himself.  “KZAZ got away, but he had to run fast!”

 

Eron stepped form the Defender.  "I'm not sure what's going on here, but I know these guys and they are stand up heroes.  Whatever's done this is powerful and we're going into this alert from here on out.  We're on foot guys."The team set a containment field around their friends, hoping it would hold long enough to figure out what had happened and to free them from whatever was obviously possessing them and started towards the Vegas Strip.  This was going to be a long day indeed.

 

After the heroes had left, Steve looked back at his airplane wondering what had just happened and if it was wise to go back to Vegas right now.  Picking his phone out of his pocket, he called a cab.

 

Congrats to the No Mercy Death Squad for a battle well fought!  May you find success in the rest of the wars!
