The world had changed in the last three years.  When radiation bathed the planet and turned a good chunk of the world's population into ash while imbuing others with super powers.  When the dust cleared, nothing was ever the same again.  Empowered humans walked the streets, magical creatures long thought to be fairy tales appeared.  Some good, while others horrific nightmares, that is what the Green Effect brought.<br/><br/>The city of New York was in its usual bustle.  The city that never slept was active at all times, and in the middle of the day, it was no exception.  The streets were packed, unaware that a shadowy figure far off in a distant land looked down upon them.<br/><br/>The villain known as 'Mastermind' looked at the satellite feed, her desk far away in a small south american island where she all but ruled now.  Her plush chair and the desk fit that of a business tycoon, gilded and ornate, with a computer desk sitting upon it.  With several locations picked, the words 'locked in' appeared on each screen.  In a calm voice, she uttered two simple words that would unleash hell on the unsuspecting New Yorkers.  "Do it."<br/><br/>The sounds of loud crashes echoed through the city, the screech of metal, and finally, the screams.  Soon enough, giant mechanical monsters began to awaken, standing two stories tall, they began to run amok, destroying anything to get in their path.  Their red eyes gleaming as they destroyed property, land, and people who were unfortunate not to get out of the way.<br/><br/><a class="externalLink" href="http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/093/4/c/giant_robot_by_butjok-d3d45io.png" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/093/4/c/giant_robot_by_butjok-d3d45io.png</a><br/><br/>((There are 6 of these bad boys running around the city.
