our joe story, authors corner

[Viper6]

lets discuss story colaboration here or atleast efforts to colaborate

i'd quit because of a perceived slight when i shouldve just chilled out and encouraged this earlier

see below

so no one was trackn my mindbender workn on serpentor
now hes just alive and in the game? ...aaaaaand im done.

*author update* alright so maybe i was a dismissive ass (ok, i was) in my departure and shouldve been more understanding about how perhaps my "mindbender working on creating serpentor plot" wasnt glaringly aparent as i had thought and hence took offense to. having considered that, and having been asked by multiple tankers to come back (thanks for digging my work) im going to read up on the story and see what i can write to and think on a new direction for the plot i'd eluded to. also im going to ask the core contributors for some courtesy PM exchanges if anything they are going to do will perhaps seriously undermine anothers work. i really enjoy this and theres alot of talented and creative people i've enjoyed colaborating with.

in need to keep the story thread pure story lets initiate some PM contact or colaborate here

You weren't an ass, I didn't go through all the storylines thoroughly enough. There are so many angles we're writing that people start focusing on their own thing, and I forgot to check if Serpentor was being used in another.

My bad, but you're right, we should coordinate a little better because it's like a million storylines instead of one story tying everything together.

From Neuspeaq :

I told you my mind was TWISTED!!
1. Tunnel Rat's, (and now Lenny's Objective was to blow up the abandoned manufacturing plant, where Overkill is, (under Overlord's direction,) producing the B.A.T. prototypes Overlord intends to use as his means to overthrow Cobra...
2. Snake Eyes, and Ghost Bear's Objective was to Kidnap Cobra Commander, so the Joes could grill him for information. It made sense that the four would meet up and combine their Objectives...
3. Cobra Commander, paranoid fool that he is, didnt think that the Joes would intervene on his and his organizations behalf, so he brought Croc Master and Raptor into play. Raptor's job was to install the EMP bomb, (which he did,) and Croc Master's job was to safeguard the underground Cobra installation from intrusion, (which he failed to do, for the moment...) He's gonna have his hands full w/ the Ninja B.A.T.s in a sec.
4. The Commander is ousted from his position at the Springfield Instillation by Serpentor. The Emperor, fresh on the scene, isnt Fully aware of Everything thats transpiring, but he will soon.
5. Mindbender's brewin up some crazy shit @ the Springfield location.
6. Beachhead, Airborne, Gung Ho, and 47 'other' Joes have a black ops mission underway to assault said installation...
7. It would make PERFECT sense, after the ass kicking Cobra took @ the hands of the 1st wave of B.A.T.'s, for the Joes to believe that Cobra High Command would flee to Cobra Island; hence the reason Serpentor hasnt done any Direct Action yet... to mantain a low profile.
8. Zartan never left Springfield. Though he's more than happy w/ encouraging the Joes to think he did.


9. The info he'd stolen is in SERPENTOR'S possesion, the data being decyphered then copied, to be sent to Cobra Island by courier.
(Here's where shit gets 'interesting,')
10. Serpentor will soon learn that the Joes will be mounting a LARGE full scale attack on COBRA ISLAND, and will use that as an opportunity to attack the PIT; seeing how poorly defended it will soon be. He feels that the GANGLOAD of Troopers, assorted Vipers, and their unit Commanders, (Skullbuster being one of them,) should sufficently keep the Joes occupied while the True attack is underway. He is unaware of the 50 Joes headin his way though...
11. The moment the same 50 Joes attack the Springfield Installation, Overlord will have the SKY B.A.T.'s attack EVERYONE, except for HIS men.
12. Baroness has gone to Castle Destro... (that sneaky bitch is up to something.)
13. Destro will be spearheading the attack in his new duds, (and Despoiler.) His newly formed Iron Grenadiers will be there also.
14. I have NO IDEA what Firefly's intention's are (beyond REVENGE, at this point...
15. Neither do I know what's going on in Japan, but I intend to introduce BUDO, and 2 'surprise guests' there...

as per where i'm at

Hawk and Breaker are in the hospital, Doc is staying behind with them. Mainframe, Flash and Grand Slam are staying behind, with another 100 or so greenshirts.

Slaughter's Mauraders and Night Force are heading as first assault on Cobra Island, air borne

Tigerforce is bringing up the rear, air and sea

US Flagg and the majority of joes, including Battle Force 2000 and Joe Colton are heading to Cobra island heading 'around' the handle of Florida.

1) In Tokyo Japan a Joe team consisting of Matt Tracker, Cledus "Snowman" Snow (Smokie & the Bandit), Dodger, Kickstart, Abel "Chatterbox" Chaz (ROC Breaker), Hi-Tech, Firewall, and Ashiko are there on intelligence from Joe member Mace that Cobra plans to attack a Weapons Tech Convention. Matt & Firewall investigate but find nothing out of the ordinary, accept M.A.R.S. is there with Anna Lewis (no she's not Baroness or Cobra Commander's sister) as a spokesperson/ saleswoman. How did she end up working for M.A.R.S.?

2) Britney Van Mark shows up saying that her father Owen Van Mark has been captured by Cobra Night Creepers. She escaped the Night Creepers with the assistance of a group of ninjas called the Knights of the Rising Sun; Bengal (Marvel Character), Dragon, Red Panda, & Phoenix. We learn that Ashiko was once associated with the ninja group so he takes off to meet with them.

3) The Rhino is soon attacked by F.A.N.G. II's they successfully beat Cobra when Tracker returns and uses the Thunderhawk to help.

4) M.A.R.S. quickly bugs out of the Convention, but they are followed by Iron Man. He does battle with some robots, and Cobra Battle Copters at an airfield while both M.A.R.S. and Cobra gets away.

5) A Yakuza crimelord called Sushi-san has the Night Creepers working for him and he's holding Owen Van Mark prisoner. He now wants his daughter.

6) The Convention center is attacked by Cobra Storm Vipers, just about everyone is killed, and the weapons and tech are stolen by Cobra.

7) The Joes are reassigned when the call goes out of the attack on Cobra Island. They now have Bruce Sato (MASK) with them.

8) The U.S.S. Thornbird (a 2nd Joe Carrier) commanded by Admiral Ledger sets sail for Cobra Island. Joes aboard the carrier are, Topside, Windmill, Snowman, Med Alert, Charbroil, Dogfight, Ghost Rider, Mirage, and Bullhorn.

9) Ashiko has returned to the Joes, and Britney has returned to the Knights.

Hey Steel Brigade, you're gonna Love the way I introduce Budo and 'friends', before I send them your way for your disposal:)...

[SteelBrigade]

I know this is fantasy, but with the quake in Japan I wonder if it's in bad taste to continue using it as a location for parts of the story. I know it's fantasy, but I had a terrorist attack by Cobra on the place.

btw, any Tankers living in Japan, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Shit; after all that's happened to them over there, I'M tempted to write something INVOLVING Japan!!
That way any Japanese Tankers out there would KNOW how B E A U T I F U L, & Exciting I happen to find their Venerated Country...
Keep up the Great Work Steel Brigade!!
LET THEM KNOW THEY'RE ON YOUR MIND, WHEN COBRA GETS ITS ASS HANDED TO THEM THERE!
Don't act different; those that are Injured, (Not Dead,) HATE it when you do that...
