Chapter 2 - Men and Gods
2A - A Man Becomes a God
Baron Blade: Finally, those heroes won't stop me this time.
Minion: Umm...Boss, they destroyed the machine!
Baron Blade: Maybe, but it still worked, maybe not perfectly, but it worked.
Minion: Umm...Boss, the machine didn't work, the moon is still up there.
Baron Blade: Fool, who wants to destroy the Earth! I only needed to pull the moon closer, and it worked. Look...
*Baron Blade points to his Living Force Field and it begins to pulse as if alive.*
Baron Blade: This...device...is full of mystical energy, but it only contains the a fraction of its true potential. I searched the Earth for something similar, but I couldn't find anything. There was only one place left to look, beneath the waves.
Minion: Umm...Boss, what does that have to do with the moon?
Baron Blade: Fool, the moon controls the waves on this planet, the closer it is, the bigger they will be. With the seas in turmoil, all we have to do is wait for the energy to reveal itself.
*The Living Force Field grows stronger.*
Baron Blade: See, the energy is being revealed, all we have to do is find it. Let's move.
Minion: Umm..Boss, shouldn't we build another Mobile Defense Platform?
Baron Blade: No time, they destroyed the machine before the moon was in its proper place, we have to move now to find it before them. That Wraith's Mega Computers might be able to find this place.
Minion: Umm...Boss, I don't think we have to worry about those Mega Computers. I saw her throw a couple of them at you.
Baron Blade: Let's hope you are right. Let's go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visionary: This is where Maia said to be. *Seeing Tempest.* Glad you got my message.
Tempest: Why is the ocean in such chaos?
*The waves push away revealing very old ruins.*
Tempest: Whoa! What is that?
Fanatic: *Flying down to join him.* I was wondering the same thing.
Nightmist: *Solidifying next to them.* Those are the Ruins of Atlantis.
Fanatic: The Atlantis? The one that sunk.
Nightmist: Atlantis didn't sink. It was buried. It was sunk on purpose.
Tempest: Why?
Nightmist: It was the only way to keep it locked inside.
Tempest: What?
Visionary: I sense pain.
Nightmist: I sense darkness.
Fanatic: I sense evil.
Tempest: I sense calamari.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Baron Blade is walking among the Ruins, and the Living Force Field is growing in power.*
Baron Blade: Hahahaha...Finally, the world will bow to me! But this isn't enough power, not of the Ruins having been exposed. I know...I know...all I have to do is bring the moon a bit closer. All I have to do is rebuild the machine!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tempest: Who is that man down there?
Visionary: Baron Blade. I sense he has something to do with this.
Fanatic: What is Baron Blade doing here?
*Energy is flowing from the Ruins into the Living Force Field.*
Nightmist: He is taking the energy of Atlantis! We must stop him!
Fanatic: So, let's take him out.
Nightmist: We can't, the energy is making him invincible!
Tempest: No problem, we just destroy Atlantis. It is in ruins anyway.
Nightmist: No! If you do, you will free what is trapped in there.
Tempest: So, we can't get him, but we can't destroy the ruins. What should we do?
Nightmist: *with a deep sigh* I...don't...know..."
Setup
Villain: Advanced Baron Blade
-Baron Blade starts with 10 (average hp) + 12 (cards in trash, energy from Atlantis) = 22 hp.
-Remove all 3 copies of Mobile Defense Platforms from the game (the heroes destroyed them last game).
-Remove 1 copy of Living Force Field from the game, and put the other copy into play.
-Living Force Field has the following text:
This card is indestructible.
Reduce damage to Baron Blade by 1 for each environment card in play.
-If there are 15 cards in the trash at the start-of-the-turn on Baron Blade's setup side, the heroes do not lose the game. Instead, add 30 hp to his current hp, put the rest of the environment deck into play (the moon reveals all of the ruins), and flip Baron Blade's card.
-If Baron Blade is reduced to 0 hp on his setup side, flip him, and restore his hp to 30.
Heroes (any order): Visionary, Tempest, Fanatic, and Nightmist (if you don't have Nightmist, you can use Wraith).
Environment: Ruing of Atlantis.
-At the beginning of the game, put the top 12 (cards in trash) / 3 = 4 cards of the environment deck into play (these were revealed by the moon in the last game).
-If the environment deck runs out, do NOT shuffle the trash into the environment deck.
Special rules: None
