COX: Mr Duke part II

CLIMB TO FAME

Duke wasted no time and signed up immediately. At first taking on the task given by Praetor White, tackling small time criminals, destroyers and eventually the resistance. Duke swelled with pride and looked forward to every new mission.

While some of the missions were more mundane, most put Duke in combat situation. The fighting involved gave Duke an adrenaline rush and he relished every second of it. Especially after crushing his enemies and feeling victorious.

As his notoriety climbed higher, he was noticed by the Praetors and given a chance to become a Top Dog. Defeating all the challengers at the induction trial, he finally claimed his position as one of them. The newfound fame also brought Duke scores of beautiful women who would do anything for their heroes out of adoration. Duke could certainly get used to this new lifestyle.

FAME AT ALL COST

The fame came with a pricetag and Duke was attacked in his own home without his power armor on. Though he managed to fend off the assailant, the assasination attempt almost cost him his life. Duke later learnt that other Powers Division members had also been targetted, though only he survived.

Duke was joined by another Top Dog named Blue Vambrace and other powers division members to investigate the case. Together they discovered that the Resistance group known as the Powerbreakers. The Powerbreakers are a newly formed extremist cell group composed of superpowered beings aiming to dismantle Cole's regime by hunting down his enforcers. Namely the Powers Division.

Eventually the team split up to follow separate leads. While Duke was hot on the trail for the ring leader. His team members were walking into a trap set by the Powerbreakers. Wanting all the fame to himself, he ignored their plea for aid and continued his pursuit of the ring leader.

Defeating the ringleader, Duke emerged victorious and claimed all the glory to himself. Amongst fighting for glory, crushing the resistance and bedding his beautiful female fans. He was kept busy until Provost Marchand contacted him about Cole's plan for Primal Earth.

Duke considered his options. He could either pave the way for Cole's invasion forces and eventually rise to become a Praetor or struck out on his own and rival Cole's powers. Excited by the possibilities and challenges ahead, Duke accepted the assignment to venture into Primal Earth.
