SOMEWHERE IN TIBET...
The alien fell to his knees and coughed up blood.
"Are you all right, BRDN?" asked TigerLily concerned.
"I'll be fine, my friend," responded the teleporter. "I'm just not accustomed to transporting that many people at once."
Commander Rad surveyed the area. Snow billowed around them, effectively blinding out most everything. He could just barely make out what appeared to be steps off to his left.
"Well, there's something here," sighed Rad.
"Are you sure about this Rad?" asked Ghola. "If he left the game, if he retired..."
"... He may be slightly pissed that we've come here to bother him," finished Mockidol.
BRDN NKD looked up, flecks of green blood on his smiling lips. "He doesn't get pissed."
"So what is this guy, exactly?" asked Axolotl, "And why have I never heard of him?"
"He's been gone for years, turned into something of a myth, a legend," said TigerLily.
"No one really knows what he is. I've never seen him fight, personally, but I've heard the stories. Meeting him was... a unique experience," said Rad cryptically.
"Rad!" cried out Munkeypants, who had been keeping watch over the steps while their alien recovered.
The Ubermen turned ready towards the shapechanger. A figure came walking down the steps slowly, covered in a heavy fur parka. The individual stopped at the bottom step and peered around at the gathered heroes, his hands folded calmly at his waist.
"Greetings Commander Rad, BRDN NKD. Forgive me, I don't know the rest of you personally," he said in polite tones.
"Greetings Istaros," replied Rad. "We've come to..."
"I know," said Istaros pulling back his hood to reveal his heavily tattooed face. "Bickerstaff has been expecting you."
SUPER SECRET VILLAIN HIDE-OUT...
Now that the Method's Crime Syndicate had fully assembled after their individual missions, the celebrations had commenced. Their leader had warned them he had one last message to receive before he knew all the details, but the members were not exactly known for following rules. Wine was flowing freely and a couple of the villains had broke into the kitchen stock for goodies.
Method watched the party in his courtyard from high above on his balcony.
"Shall I go down there and put an end to this, Sir?" asked Mistress Fist.
"First of all, they would kill you for trying such a thing," said Method, "And second, it really doesn't matter. Let the fools play."
Method's eyes narrowed as he scanned the crowd beneath him. "However," said the King of Alters, "It seems we are missing a few of the..."
"Method! Method!" came a scream from the stairwell outside his chambers.
"See what that's about," Method barked to Mistress Fist.
He turned his eyes back to the courtyard. Indeed, a number of Syndicate were not present. One was obviously the idiot screeching outside his door, but the others... hmmm.
"Method, you better take a look at this," Mistress Fist voice trembled.
He turned to see her followed by Sphagnum and Badass Julie.
"We just wanted a private place to, you know... fuck," said the Hate Monger.
"The torture chamber sounded hot!" tried to explain Badass Julie.
Method ripped the note out of Mistress Fist's hand. It was written in blue crayon.
- - - Our Dearest Mr. Method,
- - - We have to thank you. We thought each other had died in a horrible accident involving - - - honey glazed ham and professional wrestlers. So *huggles* for you! In any case, as
- - - much ejaculatory fun as your Syndicate might provide, we have always felt we work
- - - better as free agents. So we are off to sodomize children with Down Syndrome and
- - - paint a Hitler 'stache on the Lincoln Memorial.
- - - Giggles and Razorblades,
- - - The Cyst Master and ShitFuck
- - - PS. We took Habeeb with us. His diseased peneer will come in useful on our quest
- - - to impregenate the corpse of Princess Diana. Oh yeah, turn the note over!
Method growled and turned the note over.
- - - We put a bomb in the courtyard. Oh Noes!
The courtyard exploded.
SOMEWHERE IN TIBET...
The Ubermen followed Istaros through the snow. Axolotl and TigerLily supported BRDN NKD most of the way. Ghola and Mockidol stayed on guard, although Rad had told them there was nothing to worry about here. Munkeypants tried to keep up with the Commander and listen in on the conversation he was having with the stranger.
"... and we've been here ever since," said Istaros.
"Things have been happening. A lot of heroes have died, 'Ros. A lot. We could have used the help much earlier."
"It wasn't the correct time, Commander. Everything must happen accordingly," replied Istaros.
"So Thecaes and Crystle were suppose to die?" interjected Munkeypants. "Huh? We had to watch our friends die in battle? PolyAJ, Phinch, BigMike, Apollo, McCallum! They all HAD to die before you and this buddy of yours could..."
"Munkey, enough!" snapped Rad.
Istaros looked the young shapechanger square in the eyes and with all sincerity replied, "Yes."
Munkeypants's jaw dropped as Rad and Istaros continued up the stone steps.
She dropped back to Ghola's position, the little ninja at full attention.
"What do you know about this Bickerstaff guy and Istaros?" asked Munkeypants.
"Never heard of Istaros," replied Ghola, "But Bickerstaff is supposedly the ultimate warrior. Undefeatable. All I've heard is the same bullshit legends that everybody else has, I assume."
"Is he an immortal? A demi-god or a mutate?" questioned Munkey.
"Nobody knows, part of the legend I guess," returned Ghola.
"We're here!" called out Rad from in front of them.
A small pagoda stood on the mountain side covered in snow. Istaros stood in the doorway and removed his fur parka to reveal a monk's robe. The Ubermen began to brush themselves off.
"Do not worry about such things, my friends. Please come inside."
The Ubermen all stepped inside the building, into the warmth and light. A figure sat in the lotus position, his back turned to them. Once they had all entered, he stood up to face them.
"May I present Bickerstaff," said Istaros reverently.
Rad and BRDN NKD bowed. The others gasped.
SUPER SECRET VILLAIN HIDE-OUT...
"Status report!" bellowed Method.
His alters had succeeded in containing the fire and DOS had used his weather manipulation powers to call down enough rain to put it out. Fortunately, the bomb had been on the far left side of the courtyard, hidden among the shrubs. All the wine had been sitting on the right side where most of the Syndicate had gathered. This was not to say, there had been no casualties.
"Ess-arr, Stagger Lee and Scourge are dead. DeathJester and Professional Peon are gravely injured, and Skrapmetal's bionic arm has been damaged," said Mistress Fist.
DeathJester howled as Sassmaster and Ajanssen tried to move a large piece of cement off his shattered legs.
Method turned to DudeThat's Bosh. "Will you please shut him up?"
Bosh strolled over and shot DeathJester in the head twice.
"Thank You," replied Method. "Mistress Fist, go back to my study. I'm awaiting a very important message. Contact me when it comes in. I'll stay here and oversee this mess."
Mistress Fist nodded and made her way back up the steps. She thought about the betrayal of ShitFuck, The Cyst Master and Habeeb. She had advised Method not to bring in Cyst, that he was too unstable, too uncontrollable. Fist sighed. Now their numbers had been reduced and there would be nowhere on the planet that the three sociopaths could hide from the King of Alters. He would hunt them down and...
"Well excuse me, beautiful."
Mistress Fist turned to see the mob boss Shlongy behind her with his right-hand-man, Nitty.
"You should be back down in the courtyard helping with the others," she said dismissively.
"The only person Shlongy helps is himself," said the mob boss taking another step closer to her. "Seems your boss is losing control of this little operation."
"Everything is perfect. This small setback has done nothing but..."
"Done nothing but prove he ain't the man he thinks he is," said Shlongy. "C'mon, let's you, me and the Nitters bounce outta here. Let this dipshit have his war with the Ubermen."
"Let me get this straight," said Mistress Fist running her finger down Shlongy's chest. "You want me to leave Method and run off with you?"
"Sounds like a plan to me," smiled Shlongy.
"Not a chance in hell," laughed Fist.
Shlongy shrugged. "Hey honey, it was worth a shot. Nitty, kill this bitch."
Nitty cracked his knuckles, enhanced strength coursing though his body. Mistress Fist pulled back her metal gauntlet, ready to do battle with the enforcer. At least if she went down, she would go down loyal.
Then a thousand hands of a thousand alters sliced through the air, connecting on Nitty's neck, breaking it instantly.
Both Shlongy and Mistress Fist spun to see Method climbing up the steps, his face a mask of rage. Shlongy went for his gun, but before he could bring it to bear, Mistress Fist's gauntlet smashed it from his hand. She swung again, this time striking the mob boss directly in the abdomen, a sickening sound escaping.
Shlongy slumped to the steps moaning. "Bullshit! This is... no way some... some cunt is gonna... gonna take ME out."
"Fair enough, " said Method picking the gun up off the steps. "Will this make you feel better?" he asked emptying the clip into the mob boss's face.
SOMEWHERE IN TIBET...
"This... this is the famous Bickerstaff?" asked Munkeypants.
"What were you expecting?" questioned Istaros, a small smile playing on his face.
"He just looks, so... so..." tried Ghola.
"So ordinary!" finished TigerLily.
The man before them who had been called the greatest warrior the planet had ever seen was currently placing a number of small cups out on a tray. Off to the side of him, tea was heating over a small fire. The omega fighter was going to serve them tea.
"What exactly do all of you see?" asked Istaros.
"What do you..."
When you look at Bickerstaff, what do you see?" asked Istaros.
"He's just some average white guy, brown hair, brown eyes..." started Ghola.
"He's more blond," said Mockidol.
"Wait. He's not white, he looks more... I dunno, Hispanic or something," said TigerLily.
"What the fuck!" swore Munkeypants. "At first I thought he had brown eyes, but now he has light blue ones!"
"That's fine," said BRDN NKD. "Although he does appear human to me," continued the alien, "He looks of African decent when I look upon him."
"What?" exclaimed a number of the Ubermen.
"I get it," said Axolotl slowly. "Bickerstaff is 'everyman.' He has no true form, except the form of everyone."
"Indeed, he is the boy genius," remarked Istaros to Rad.
"The kid comes in handy," smiled Rad.
Bickerstaff began to pour the tea into each small porcelain cup.
"Okay, great. Fine! But why haven't you come to help?" asked Munkeypants.
"Bickerstaff understands your anger," said Istaros. "He could not come to your aid sooner because it was not time. Certain events had to take place first."
"Like our friends dying, you mean?" screamed Munkeypants.
"Unfortunately, yes," said Istaros. "Everything that has happened, has happened according to fate. We have all followed our prescribed destiny. It is only at this point that Bickerstaff is allowed to join your cause."
"Some of us don't believe in fate," said Mockidol.
"That is irrelevant. Please, Bickerstaff is filled with grief that he could not help sooner and perhaps of saved your teammates, but he..."
"Then why doesn't he fucking say it!" TigerLily interrupted Istaros.
"Because," said Rad watching the great warrior place the tray of tea cups on the table before the Ubermen. "Bickerstaff doesn't speak."
"I am his voice," said Istaros.
Each Uberman quietly retrieved their cup of tea and drank it while contemplating this, except for Munkeypants.
"This is all bullshit!" she exclaimed and reached for her tea.
Suddenly she backhanded it at Bickerstaff, expecting to douse the so-called great fighter with the hot liquid. But before any of them could say anything, before any of them could do anything, Bickerstaff moved. Fast. He caught the cup and in one fluid motion, caught all of the tea that was flowing through the air. Every drop.
With a sad smile of understanding, he held the cup out to Munkeypants.
"Bickerstaff is truly sorry that he was unable to help sooner," said Istaros. "And he would very much like you to try the tea. He thinks it is very good."
SUPER SECRET VILLAIN HIDE-OUT...
"So?" asked Method, smiling at the video phone screen.
"So? They did everything exactly as I told you they would," replied the super spy Michael Jackson.
"How many dead?" Method asked eagerly.
"Six plus McCallum. Apollo, BigMike, Phinch, PolyAJ, Crystle and Thecaes. That leaves Commander Rad and six others. Oh, and Professor Bart-Bart, of course," said MJ.
Method laughed. "And the Compound itself?"
"Trashed."
"It went better then I expected," mused the King of Alters. "Orgasmatron has been totally reprogrammed?"
"Most definitely," said the super spy. "It will fire on anything that moves... once they return, obviously."
"What you mean? They're not still cowering in the Compound?" asked Method.
"No, it seems they went in search of reinforcements."
"Of which they will find none," laughed Method.
"They went in search of Bickerstaff," said MJ doing nothing to conceal the humor in his/her voice.
"What?" roared Method, leaning forward into the video screen. "Impossible! He's gone, disappeared! There's no way..."
"I'm only telling you what the Ubermen reported to Orgasmatron right before their pet alien teleported them away," said MJ.
Method leaned back in his chair and ran a hand roughly against his chin. "So be it. The money is being transferred into the account you specified as we speak."
"Good working with you, Method."
Method flipped off the screen.
"What are we going to do, Sir?" asked Mistress Fist.
Method ignored her.
"Method, Bickerstaff is unbeatable. Even if our forces weren't diminished, we wouldn't be able to win this now. Seven Ubermen and their Professor are one thing, but... we have to regroup and replan this!"
"We go ahead as scheduled," said Method through gritted teeth. "All that matters is that I destroy Professor Bart-Bart."
"But... but the Syndicate! Against Bickerstaff and the Ubermen... they'll probably all die!" Mistress Fist exclaimed.
"Yes. Yes, probably," said Method.
"Method, the Syndicate has to be warned about what they're going up against, they..."
Her voice was choked off as alters began clenching their fists around her throat. As she fought against the pressure slowly building, more and more hands joined the cause. Dozens of hands became hundreds, became thousands. Mistress Fist's head was pulled from her body, her bloody neck stump gushing blood all over Method's bookcase.
"I guess you should have fled with Shlongy after all," quipped Method.

Well, I just finished writing part 7, the last chapter of this series.
I'll be putting it up tomorrow. I think I'm going to do an illustration of Method fighting Rad.
Oh, and some of the death scenes are glorious, if I do say so myself...

Wait so I'm not dead yet? Good. If I'm going to die, I want to go out in a blaze of glory and take a bunch of my enemies with me. Please don't make me die by tripping over my own foot and falling on my own knife or something like that. That'd just be humiliating and all the other Ubervillains would laugh at me.
And yeah, the torture chamber does sound kind of hot.
