[MM2e] Salton City Needs Heroes! Episode 1: Premiere

Benny slid the drinks before everyone.

Emily smiled at Tarrence as she lifted the drink from the counter top. "You did well. However, you should know that was not your first scene. You're first actually scene will take place sometime during the next few hours. Since you are wondering, Shawn is our principle cammera man."

Shawn waved.

Michael, who had been looking somewhat queasy upon spotting the cameras, relaxes visibly at the news that the footage of this encounter wouldn't be used. Nobody would have to see him lose his temper like that. Well, nobody who wasn't actually here. . . and let's face it, who would they be to talk?

He nods his greetings to Shawn, and considers the conversation between Mr. TV and the producer.

"So, should we get into costume for the scene? I left my stuff in the hotel."
 


"Right then. I'll be back here in a moment."

Unless anyone has any objections, Michael will step outside the bar, bypass the human wreckage that was one of the gangbangers, sidestep the fairly intact sign, and make his way back to the hotel.

As he crosses the street he keeps an eye out for any sign of the missing "hero" that Emily mentioned.

In a few minutes, he will return to the bar. The Ten-Foot Pole, resplendent in the national colors. It's a good thing he talked the tourism department out of the cloak. The flag pole jokes would be endless.
 

"the man behind the magic" Terrence grins at Shawn and gives him a thumbs up
"I suppose I better get suped up too, time for an add break kids" he winks towards the nearest camera he can see before saying "I'm Terrence by the way guys, Terrence Vance" he waves his hand at everyone and makes after Michael nattering his ear off with background small talk as they cross the road to the motel.

Returning a few minutes later with Michael unless he's given the slip, then he'll have to come back alone.
 

Michelle walks into the bar. What the hell happened here? she thinks to herself.

She sits in a stool at the bar and waves down a waitress. I'd like a Bud Light please.
 

Micheal and Terrance leave Benny's. As they are gone Micheal Fox enters the establishment.

I'd like a Bud Light please.

"One Bud Light coming right up." Donna walked to the ice box then pulled a bottle from it's icy depths. "There you go miss."

Micheal and Terrance return.

"Afternoon, Ms. Fox. Now that you are hear, I can finally start this meeting. As your companions already know, I am Emily Holland, the show's associate and consulting producer." Emily extended her hand.

Addressing the entire group, "We have much to discuss and we are on a tight schedule. If you do not mind, we will have to go to the back room to discuss matters."




Benny's Back Room.
Emily led the to the backroom which, Keiko immediately not notices that a small screen and projector has been set up in the room during the last several minutes. Emily motioned for everyone to take a seat before she takes her place beside the projector.

Emily turned on the projector and began to speak. "During the last two weeks, My Tea Productions has discovered that the Mayor Randolph Earhart of Salton City has been receiving threats from an unknown individual or group of individuals. These individuals have launched several attacks on the Mayor's residence which prompted the Mayor's decision to cut ties with our production and seek outside help from the archon community."

As she spoke the images that were shown on the projector were of the Mayor, his home as well as an image of a map showing that the Mayor's residence is a part of the city known as Desert Shores. The projector then shows Captain Superior.

"Last night, our sources discovered that the archon who the Mayor contacted was non-other then Captain Superior...."

The image changes to what appears to be a one old fashioned movie theater. The image then shows various views and schematics as well as a hybrid satellite-map view of headquarters.

"Making matters worse, the Mayor and his people have taken over your future headquarters and are planning on transferring control of it to Captain Superior. The Mayor's people also reprogrammed the building's security over ride protocols which prevents our staff from accessing the headquarters."

"We have learned that the Mayor plans on naming Captain Superior Salton City's official archon protector today in a few hours in a ceremony that will take place on the steps of city hall. This cannot happen. To complicate things, our contacts within city all have supplied us with a copy of the last threat the mayor received..."


A silhouette of a man who is standing before a plain brick wall is shown on the screen. The man speaks, his voice is garbled and heavily modulated. "Mayor Earhart, this is your last warning. You have until noon to deliver the money and cancel your ceremony. If you do not comply, there will be harsh consequences. Do not count on Captain Superior's ability to protect you for we have ways to neutralize him, and you will be dead long before he can attempt to save you."

Emily ended her presentation.

"I have not received a message from my contact, which means that the Mayor's planned ceremony will take place at it's appointed time, in about two hours. Feel free to discuss your plans and I will answer any questions you may have. Also, I suggest that you come up with a team name during this time. I am pretty sure, that if things work to your favor, the local media may ask to know what your group calls itself."

The sound of the 24 clock could be heard.*

Michelle fusses in her seat for a second than clears her throat.

Well damn. We need our hq. I don't know about the rest of you but we need to get out there and do some retcon.

As per the group name how about Ultrix Angelus?

"That's a terrible name," Keiko says crabbily. The thought of Captain Superior getting in her way made her skin crawl. The gigantic oaf! The crazed, maddened bull!

"How do we know 'Mister Superior' is not behind the threats?" she goes on to ask. "He could be drumming up a false pretense, so the mayor goes to him for help!"

She scowled deeply.

"We must find where these messages are coming from, and discover the truth behind them."
