Best Laid Plans Ryan inhaled and leaned back in his chair, “So let’s see, when the aliens attacked, I learned that Rex Robinson, my own mentor and father figure was the cause of it, revealing himself to be a deeply troubled man, far more neurotic than anyone realized.

Aftermath Michael sat across from Rex Robinson at a bar while the entire city burned just outside the window. Rex took a look at the flames rising to the heavens and turned to Michael with a smile, “Heating up out there, huh?,” then he took a sip from the tall glass of milk in front of him. “I should’ve been here,” Michael said plainly as … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #22
Repercussions Wally and Kim wearily opened the door to their apartment. The Resurgence had been over for days but the local government advised civilians to stay in the bunkers for one week in case of further dangers and many complied. For them, it was a bit too much and they simply wanted to go home and sleep in their own beds. “You’re back!,” Astra shouted … Continue reading AP Productions: Astra Machina #11
Za Nashu Druzhbu Once again, Agent Crown found himself caught in a death trap, surrounded by Russian terrorists; a common enough occurrence that he was nonplussed towards the ordeal.

The fall of the USSR was ushered in shortly after the … Continue reading AP Productions: Badges #13
Finale Dante Greer woke up when he found it difficult to breathe, the smell of smoke hanging heavily in the air. “Yo, Mom!

Fire!” His family groggily got out of their rooms and … Continue reading AP Productions: Upstarts #12
Shujai sat in front of a UN tribunal with delegates from around the world just a week after the return of the U’ntari.

His compliance went a long … Continue reading AP Productions: The Resurgence Epilogue – Part 20/20
Sean Pierce led the team outside the building cautiously as they approached the shuttle resting on the grass in the distance. Inside, Shujai looked at Kull curiously, “You can’t destroy the planet. It completely goes against the U’ntari Military Code.” “Sure,” Kull nodded mockingly, “If Council were here, I’d be reminded of how many laws this violates and be forced to relent,” he pointed to … Continue reading AP Productions: The Resurgence #12 – Part 19/20
Rex Robinson appeared on the Dragon’s display. “Hello, Cav,” he greeted him sadly, “I see you have Ryan there with you.” “Yeah, we just want to talk one last time,” Cavalier was careful with his words and tone. If he remotely hinted at ulterior motives, Rex would clue in and their plan would be shot. Despite the revelation that Rex was far more unstable than … Continue reading AP Productions: The Resurgence #11 – Part 18/20

Rex was often considered a gentle soul by the public but those who saw him fight knew he was one of the deadliest men alive, his combination of skill, experience, intelligence and superhuman strength made him nearly impossible to defeat in straight combat unless an opponent could overpower him with a great deal of … Continue reading AP Productions: The Resurgence #10 – Part 17/20
“I’m sorry,” the Cavalier shook his head, “Say that again?” “I am afraid we must place Rex Robinson under arrest,” Mansoor repeated. “What are the charges?,” Ryan Bennings asked incredulously. “I’m afraid that cannot he declassified at this time.” “That ain’t good enough for me,” Creed crossed his arms, “I don’t trust cops, I don’t care if you got powers and shit… In fact, I … Continue reading AP Productions: The Resurgence #9 – Part 16/20
Supreme Admiral Kull paced around the bridge like a caged tiger. Two ships were lost. Two Commander Ships were lost. Council had also been compromised. While ground forces had almost completely taken New York and the Upstarts mission had somewhat succeeded, they were still no closer to finding Rex Robinson. Their next move was to attack the NATO headquarters as the beginning of a campaign … Continue reading AP Productions: The Resurgence #8 – Part 15/20

The lights in the bunker flickered on, shining down on the civilians who had been huddling in the dark for hours. They smiled, hugged one another and clapped their hands. Military personnel were happy to see that their communication systems and radar were once again online. Additionally, hospitals around the globe were now functioning normally. Astra Machina stood on top of a U’ntari Fighter Ship … Continue reading AP Productions: The Resurgence #7 – Part 13/20
A Resurgence tie-in The U’ntari returned. The initial invasion began in 1981 and changed the course of human history but this was on a far larger scale.

During the battle, it was discovered that the U’ntari used a sophisticated satellite to cause a global power-out … Continue reading AP Productions: Astra Machina #10 – Part 12/20
