About three hours ago, a giant, skyscraper sized robot crash landed in the center of Destructoid City and began to flatten everything in it's way. Along with it came it's foot soldiers, the Red Ring Zombies, faulty Xbox 360s rewired to become ruthless killing machines. Jim Sterling, paired up with CyberneticTigerZ, attempt to stop the giant automaton, known only as the Destructor-toid, but realize that this is a battle they won't be able to win alone.
CTZ calls in the Retroforce GO! team and decide that the best plan of attack is to use Topher "Hi-Score" Cantler's ship, the Ikaruga, to take the beast down.
As usual in these sorts of situations, there's a hitch. The Ikaruga is grounded. A vital engine component, a Sega Dreamcast, is damaged and a new one is needed. Knowing of a Goodwill a couple of blocks away, Topher believes it will be safer to travel along the subway lines, out of the way of the Red Ringers that roam the streets.
However, underground may not have been as safe as he thought. More after the jump.
Winning comment was Madninja! With:
Necros leads the Dtoid crew through the subways running from a huge mob of zombies until everyone piles in the safe room, having trouble because of the amount of people in the same room. There people get weapons and reload on ammo while Necros tells people about the situation in the subway and how the Failcast crew, unofficial, escort people though the subway. The characters see King as Francis, Hito as Bill, but then when they get to Yashoki assuming he will be Louis you see Madninja as Louis. Failcasts first guest. Everyone looking confused, the last panel shows Yashoki as a turned Witch
I tried to keep it as faithful as I could to the comment, and hopefully I actually drew the correct members of Failcast as requested. I did draw the correct members didn't I? Please say I did.
THE RULES: 1. You have 24 hours from the time this blog was posted to suggest what happens next. After that, I'll choose the winning comment and the page will then be posted the following week. 2. Try to keep it relatively SFW. 3. You can only make a suggestion once per week. 4. Your suggestion has to fit on one page (although I will occasionally stretch it to two pages). So where to from here? Where's Niero? Who's behind the the Destructor-toid? What about the Burch siblings?

Why can't I be this cool in real life?
I have no specific suggestion other then work the forums into this somehow so I may gloriously stroke my ego.
DO THIS SO I CAN LIVE MIKEY!
You really captured the bitchyness of Yashoki
The first two panels are beyond amazing.
The now combined group is together in a very cramped room talking about the situation, and the Failcast guys decide to escort team Dtoid through the subway to get the Dreamcast. (Somewhere in there somebody shoots Yashoki for being too emo.) As they start moving through the subway, everything seems really quiet until they get surrounded by Red Ringers, confusing Necros and crew since all they've done is fight zombies. Then, from behind the Red Ringers, appears two glowing eyes set upon an outline of a large robotic version of everyone's favorite princess-kidnapping dragon-turtle-hybrid-guy saying something witty and OMINOUS.
BOOM CLIFFHANGER
Necros and crew aid the Dtoid team down the rest of the sewers until they get right below Goodwill. There's no direct entrance so everyone has to pile up on each other like a pyramid. CTZ asks Colette to summon him a new hammer, and with the new hammer, CTZ breaks open the roof of the sewers and they all get into Goodwill.
More zombies start to stream in and the Failcast team stays behind to hold them back. Topher finds the Dreamcast and they all proceed to leave when a giant Noby Noby Boy smashes into Goodwill. Tiff is riding on top of the Noby Noby Boy with Ashley Davis, Jonathan Holms, Fronz and Samit all riding with her. Tiff asks if the team needs a ride.
MEANWHILE, IN SUBURBIA --
Ashly Burch is curled up in her overstuffed chair, game controller in hand. Anthony Burch approaches from behind her. "Hey Ash, whatcha playing?"
"I don't know," she responds with a quizzical look on her face. "I just got it in the mail. It's some kind of robot game."
A robot game indeed. The screen displays a giant robot, none other than the Destructor-toid, as it rampages throughout city streets. "It's pretty cool," Ashly continues, "free-roaming, fully destructible environments and the graphics are amazing."
Anthony turns to face Ashly and asks, "Ash, did you notice anything odd when you started up the Xbox?"
"No. Why?"
"It has three red lights..."
Reloaded the team is led by the failcast escorts to the manhole in front of the goodwill. Just as they are about to ascend a tank jumps out of nowhere. Hito quickly grabs a pipe bomb before anyone can do anything and charges the tank. It explodes taking out hito and the tank(doing this because hito's computer just died). After quickly mourning hito's death (Jim says "who was that?"). The team arrives on the surface, but much to everyone surprise Luc Bernard is standing right in front of the goodwill store. The group realizes they need someone with the power to call upon the 1/10 score, someone ANGRY.
