*Mentioned by name only



This is a serious fan-fic that will play out like an action movie. Dramatic, but with moments of humor. I have all the major roles filled out, but make a request and you will be given at least a name mention.

[Mr. Thing]

The Amazing. Yes, I certainly am. :o

But seriously, really looking forward to it. :up:

[The Demon's Head]

Why am I only mentioned by name? :mad:

[Swordmaster]

For a role in the sequel

[The Demon's Head]

For a role in the sequel Alright then. :up:

[Alexia Dark]

Oh... and my eyes should go golden when I'm in cat-mode. Not Shalimar yellow, gold.

[Swordmaster]

Oh... and my eyes should go golden when I'm in cat-mode. Not Shalimar yellow, gold.


OKay then.

[Batman]

*Swoops in*

The Knight is here.:batman:

Nice names,BTW.

[Swordmaster]

They were a pain in the ass to make

[The Demon's Head]

How long is it going to be?

[Swordmaster]

No idea yet

[SapphirePrima]

Can I be in it?

[Swordmaster]

I'll work you in...somehow

[Twitch]

You better make me a kickass insane villian with kickass lines :mad::up:

[Swordmaster]

Your big, and wrestle, and maybe live.


Or die.

:confused:

[zer00]

You could ask first.

[Twitch]

Your big, and wrestle, and maybe live.


Or die.

:confused:

I hate how people don't understand me :(

[Swordmaster]

O have no idea what your powers are. You might be fast and kill people, or something else.

[Dark Phantom]

Cast: Heroes

Comic Man: The Phantom


haha! Excellent!

Can you describe what my powers are?

Also, could I incorporate some accpects into my character? Like make him a sad character who has a problem trying to fit in. Make The Phantom's personality like the Thing from the Fantastic Four. He wants to be a hero, but his disfigured face is keeping him from being the man he truley is, a genius. He has on and off alliances and he's not sure if he belongs in a group of heroes, much like Batman in Justice League. The Phantom should not be a people's person, but just a lonely figure in the shadows trying to hide his scarred face.

...He doesn't have powers. He uses the fight-and-flight method. Gas pellets, ropes, etc. He is the teams mentor, teaching them how to work together, kind of like the sphinx in Mystery Men

[Batman]

...I thought KnightBat was the Batman-esque character of the story.:confused:

[Alexia Dark]

...He doesn't have powers. He uses the fight-and-flight method. Gas pellets, ropes, etc. He is the teams mentor, teaching them how to work together, kind of like the sphinx in Mystery Men

You probably just named him that out of pity :down :p.

[Swordmaster]

Batman isn't fight-and-flight

[Swordmaster]

You probably just named him that out of pity :down :p.


...Maybe :o

Not really

[Dark Phantom]

You probably just named him that out of pity :down :p.

Hey:mad:
I resent that!

Swordmaster, I figured that he should have no powers, but the other day you described him as a guy who could great puffs of smoke. It's all good though.

But seriously, we should talk it over. I want to hear some of the ideas you have.

[GammaMike]

Am I supposed to be Greek?

[Swordmaster]

The sun sets as another day in Hype City, the largets city in the world, ends. On the outside, it looks as if the city is good and pure. If only the outside reflected the inside. The city is overrun with crime; gangs, monsters, and mutants terrorize the streets at night. It is those people who run the streets, those who rule the night.

For now...

Chapter 1: In the Beginning...

A large goliath runs along the street, smashing everything in its path, shrugging off bullets as if they were mere pokes to the chest. It destroys everything it sees, thoughtlessly. It is almost 9 feet tall, with muscles the size of basketballs. Its skin is black, and its eyes glow red. It has a long, dark green, shaggy mane, and it is angry.

The goliath runs up a building wall, breaking windows, and kidnapping people. He reaches into one of the broken windows and grabs a woman. He smiles with yellow teeth. The woman, Prima Saph, screams. The goliath laughs, but stops as he sees a shadow move out of the corner of his eye.

It is a man standing on the opposite building. The man has slicked back black hair, with silver streaks running through it. His physique is perfectly toned, with no traces of body fat. He wears back mirrored sunglasses that cover his eyes, and a mask that covers his nose and mouth. On his feet are black boots, with black jeans tucked inside them. He wears a black-and-red sleeveless armored tunic, covered by a short-sleeved jacket. On the jacket's sleeves run three blood red slashes each. Around his waist is a belt, which holds to poles of some sort. On his arms are black, elbow-length gloves, with three silver clasps each. The goliath screams.

Goliath: EDGE!

Edge jumps from the other building to meet the goliath. He looks at him behind his sunglasses.

Edge: Rampage. How'd you escape this time? I thought that cryogenic freeze they put you under would keep you asleep for 20 or so years.

Rampage: Rampage free. Free from confines of sleep. Free from death!

Rampage screams throws Prima off the building. With lightning quick reflexes, Edge jumps down and catches her. He takes out one of his poles and presses a button. A hook launches up and latches on to a crane. The hook slowly descends, allowing Prima to land safely.

Prima: Thanks.

Edge: Don't mention it. Next time, meet him in a public place.

Prima: Oooooookay...

Edge presses another button, and rapidly descends up, back to the top of the building. He detaches himself and walks back to Rampage.

Edge: Nice way to treat a lady on the first date, pal. But enough is enough. I'm taking you down.

Rampage growls and lunges at Edge, who dodges and kicks him in the head.

Edge: That all you got?

Rampage turns claps his hands together, creating a shpck-wave that knocks Edge to the ground.

Edge: Guess not.

Edge gets back up and takes out his grappling pole. He presses a button and latches the hook to a nearby wall. Rampage grins.

Rampage: Missed.

Edge: Really?

Edge presses another button and rapidly glides through the air to the wall. He grabs Rapage by the waist, and, with tremendous force of effort, brings him with him into the building which the wall protected. They fight and fly through cubicles, papers, computers, and, on occasion, people. Suddenly, there fighting in empty air.

Rampage: The fall will kill you, not me.

Beneath his mask, Edge smirks.

Edge: It can try.

Edge posistions himself, through force of effort, on top of Rampage. Rampage screams as he falls to the cold, gray concrete. He is unconscious. Edge, though somewhat bruised, is relatively unharmed. He watches, fascinated, as the large body of Rampage transforms into the small, weak body of Sal Vanson.

A quarter of an hour later, cops and reporters fill the scene. Edge helps them carry Sal into a tank, which puts him into a deep sleep. He goes to a cop.

Edge: That should hold him-

Edge's words are cut short by a piercing shriek.

Edge: Excuse me.

Cop: Sure...

Edge runs into an alleyway, and out of it comes a black and red motorcycle, riding off into the night.

[Swordmaster]

Am I supposed to be Greek?No.

[Dark Phantom]

Wow, that's really good!

[Swordmaster]

Thanks

[GammaMike]

No.

Good Job, Sava's gonna love it.

[Swordmaster]

Thanks GM

[Mr. Thing]

Good stuff. :up:

[Batman]

Nice.

[Swordmaster]

Thank you, thank you

[SapphirePrima]

that was good! :up: And I was in it!

[Swordmaster]

Hey:mad:
I resent that!

Swordmaster, I figured that he should have no powers, but the other day you described him as a guy who could great puffs of smoke. It's all good though.

But seriously, we should talk it over. I want to hear some of the ideas you have.


We shall see...

[gregtestagent]

Didn't seem to mention me on the pre-lim cast. Formal request being made RIGHT NOW! with some please and cherry on top.

[Swordmaster]

Chapter 2: Heaven or Hell
Edge rode down the streets of Community Ave., looking for the source of the scream. After a half-hour or so, he finds a body of a dead girl, no older than 12, marked with a cross. So, Edge thinks, the Heaven or Hell gang is back in town.

The Heaven or Hell Gang was a group of Bikers, extremists, satanists. They believe that what they're doing will earn them favor with God and/or the Devil, and keep searching for ways to immortality. They were led by Valmar, a psycho. Edge got off his motorcycle and jumped up to an overlooking building.

Valmar, a man wearing an all black leather jacket, complete with spikes, black pants, black shoes, and a scar running down his left cheek, spoke, to over 100 bikers.

Valmar: My brothers and sisters. We have come one step closer to our steps to gaining immortality. With the blood of a virgin on THIS sacred knife-

Valmar lifts up a dark, sinister dagger.

Valmar:-We will live forever, as the hands of God and Lucifer!

The bikers all cheer. Valmar raises a hand, and they are silent once more.

Valmar: By stabbing the knife with the blood of a female virgin into the abdomen of a male virgin, unlimited power shall be ours!

The bikers again cheer. Valmar turns, and Edge notices a boy, 14 by the looks of it, and very scared, on a stone pedastal marked with engravings of an ancient language.

Valmar raises the knife, but it is knocked away by a shuriken, with rotating blades in its center, giving it enhanced speed.

Valmar: What?!

Edge stands on top of his building, two more shuriken in his hand, ready. Several of the bikers murmor.

Biker 1: It's him.

Biker 2: Edge.

Valmar: EDGE!

Edge: That's my name.

Edge jumps to the ground, and takes out a pole from his side.

Edge: I thought I locked you and all your little cronies in a crazy house?

Valmar scowls.

Valmar: You did. But we escaped.

Edge thinks: What's with all the weirdo's escaping today?

Edge: Heh. No matter. I'm all riled up as is. Let's get this party started. shall we?

Valmar's scowl deepens, then he smirks.

Valmar(yelling): You heard him. Take him down!

The bikers take out their machine guns and shoot full clips into Edge. The bullets bounce right off him, dropping to the ground, still smoking. About 1/3 of the bikers, frightened, run away.

Valmar: Get back here! Damn you!

Edge: Looks like they didn't believe in your cause as much as you thought.

Valmar frowns, and performs an elaborate hand signal. The bikers who remain take out chains and baseball bats and charge at Edge. Edge presses a button in the center of his stick and it becomes a three-foot bo staff. A biker whips a chain at him, which Edge catches with is staff, and yanks the biker toward him, into his fist. A biker comes up behind Edge, and meets his elbow. Edge proceeds to take down most of the bikers in under 5 minutes.

*Nice work, boss*

Dante. He was like the little brother Edge never had. Or wanted. He was another personality of his, pure unfocused anger and rage. Whenever the two would get into a fight with an enemy, the two mindsets became one, allowing Edge to become almost a hurricane of destruction. They talk to eachother in their head, collaborating.

Edge walks up to Valmar who stands there, unflinchingly.

Edge: Why are you so calm?

Valmar grins maliciously

Valmar: Because of what's behind you.

Edge turns just in time to see a bat collide with his face, knocking him unconscious.

When Edge awakens, he is over a vat of blood-red liquid, his hands tied by ropes to the wall. He tried breaking free, but could not. Valmar, along with the bikers Edge had broken, stood there, watching. It appeared Edge was in some sort of warehouse.

*Their headquarters, I'd assume.*

<As would I>

Valmar: Edge! That liquid you are hurled over is blood mixed with a chemical that will peel the flesh off your bones. Any last words?

Edge: Yeah.

Edge superspits into Storms face.

Edge: That.

Valmar becomes enraged, and activates the mechanism.

Storm: Give our regards to the devil!

Edge begins to lower.

*This won't end well.*

<No s**t>

[Swordmaster]

Didn't seem to mention me on the pre-lim cast. Formal request being made RIGHT NOW! with some please and cherry on top.

I'll see how I can work you in

[gregtestagent]

I'll see how I can work you in
Thanks.

[Swordmaster]

You might get Snipershots role, as a Sniper assassin

[DBella]

Very nice, Dante! :up:
Since Edge is the protagonist, I don't have to worry about him. Right? Right? :(
Can't wait for the next chapter!! :)

[Swordmaster]

Technically you're a minor protagonist, so...;)

[DBella]

Technically you're a minor protagonist, so...;)
YOu didn't answer me about Edge! :( Tell me he'll be okay so I can sleep well.
I am a minor protagonist.... That means you won't kill my character off? :D

[Swordmaster]

You live. He'll live. Don't worry about him


...For now

[DBella]

You live. He'll live. Don't worry about him


...For nowThank you! I am relieved now. I don't mind dying, actually. If I do, make it real gruesome and don't let me die a coward. That's all I ask. :o

[Swordmaster]

I can't reveal anything major. But it's gonna be cool what happnes

[DBella]

I can't reveal anything major. But it's gonna be cool what happnes
I love surprises! :up:

[Swordmaster]

Well, you'll be surprised :up:

[DBella]

When will the next chapter be up?

[Swordmaster]

Sometime this week. It's almost time for bed here, so...

[DBella]

I look forward to it very much. It's almost time for me to go too. Enjoy your week, Dante. :)

[Swordmaster]

You too, Bell

[gregtestagent]

You might get Snipershots role, as a Sniper assassin
Born for the role :o :up:

[Swordmaster]

I know my parts well

[Swordmaster]

BTW, Storm has now been replaced with Valmar, or Lord Valumart

[Swordmaster]

Chapter 3: Reinforcements

As the mechanism slowly lowered, Edge closed his eyes.

I knew this line of work was dangerous, but I never thought I'd go out like this. Like a punk.

All of a sudden, it stopped. Edge stopped lowering. He heard a rough male voice, like some half-assed Clint Eastwood expression.

Voice: Now!

Smoke fills the room. Edge wonders what the hell's going on as he is suddenly falling from his restraints.

*What the f**k?*

<I was wondering the same thing.>

As he is but mere inches from the acid, he is grabbed from mid-air and dropped on the ground, alive.

Edge: The hell?

Edge looks up and sees a woman, roughly around 21, standing above him. She has shoulder-length black hair. Her eyes are concealed by a mask that shows only the eyes, which were a vivid gold, with slits. Catlike,. Edge thought. She wore a skintight black leather jumpsuit, with a black leather trenchcoat with holes in its bottom. She wore black shoes that looked to be not fit for fighting. To complete the outfit was a choker with a cats head centered in it.

Edge: And...you are...who?

Woman: Darkcat. I'm here to save your ass.

Her voice is soft, but dark.

Edge gives a small, mocking chuckle.

Edge: I was fine on my own, thanks.

Darkcat smirks.

Darkcat: Sure you were. Don't mind the fact that if we hadn't shown up, you'd be nothing more than a skeleton, if it suits you.

Edge also smirks.

Edge: We've got no time for this, babe-

Darkcat puts her heel to his throat.

Darkcat: Don't call me babe.

Edge shoves her off, still smirking

Edge: Whatever you say. We've got work...to do.

Edge just notices the bodies laying around the warehouse.

Edge: Are they...?

Voice: They'll live.

Edge and Darkcat turn to see a man garbed in all black walk towards them. His head covered by a mask with horns coming out of the side, exposing only the mouth. His torso is armored, with a bat-symbol a darker shade of black than the rest of the outfit. His legs are also armored. He wears a rust-gold belt with mechanical pouches. Over this he wears a black trenchcoat with ridges at the end, giving the impression of bat-wings. On his arms are gauntlets, with three scallops coming out from them in an angular form.

Another voice, female this time, light and cheery, shows up:

Voice: Nice work Batsy. I only had to cover your back HALF the time this time.

The man shows no sign of emotion, only slightly blushes.

Edge: Who the hell are you guys?


Darkcat speaks up.

Darkcat: As you already know, unless you have a poor memory, I'm Darkcat. This is-

Male: KnightBat.

Edge ***** his head.

Edge: Batman or Man-Bat already taken

KnightBat just stares.

Woman: And I'm Amazonia.

She weras a white and gold leather jogging suit with an eagle covering the chest area and silver bracelets.

She puts out her hand, which Edge takes.

Edge: What are you guys here for?

KnightBat speaks.

KnightBat: You.

[SapphirePrima]

That was really good I hope you don't stop like you did with the Devil May Cry prequel.

[Master Chief]

Haha... I'm Darkcat, this is Knightbat.

Strangely hilarious.

[DBella]

White and gold leather jogging suit? JOGGING SUIT?!?! Hahahaha!! OMG, where is the fashion police when you need one!! :p

Other than that, good work, Dante! ;) :up:

[Swordmaster]

I saw a design for it and it looked cool :o

[Edd Extraordinaire]

I request the Edd be mentioned in this.

[Swordmaster]

But of course

[Edd Extraordinaire]

Muahahahahaha.

[zer00]

Muahahahahaha.

...............

[GammaMike]

White and gold leather jogging suit? JOGGING SUIT?!?! Hahahaha!! OMG, where is the fashion police when you need one!! :p

Other than that, good work, Dante! ;) :up:

Nothing says Amazon badass like jogging suit Bella!

[DBella]

I saw a design for it and it looked cool :o
Can I see it?
I dunno... jogging suit... makes me think of... RUN DMC. :o What kind of shoes to go with the jogging suit? *I'm a typical shoe-obessed girl. :D:p*

[DBella]

Nothing says Amazon badass like jogging suit Bella!
You think so, GM?
I'd still like to get a visual of the suit though but for now... I'll take your word for it.

[Batman]

I can't imagine an Amazonian Goddess,such as yourself,looking bad in anything.;) :o

...Although I am quite curious to the design myself.

I don't believe I've ever seen anything like that...:confused:

[Swordmaster]

It was in the DC Redesign Thread. Can't find it :(

[Swordmaster]

This is gonna be short, so:

Chapter 4: The Lair

Edge: ...Me?

KnightBat: Yes you. I just said that. What are you dense? Are you retarded or something?

Darkcat: Down boy.

KnightBat looks away.

DarkCat: We should explain this in private. Do you know where we can go?

Edge smirks.

Edge: I know just the place. It'll take a while to get there, though. Do you guys have a means to get there?

Amazonia chuckles.

Amazonia: I can fly, hon.

DarkCat: I've got my own motorcycle. It's in the alley next to yours.

Edge: Next to mine, eh? *he winks*

DarkCat: Don't get any ideas.

Edge: Whatever babe. *Turning to KnightBat* And what about you?

KnightBat takes out an octagonal cylindar and presses a button it. Lights fill the warehouse. It's a black...tank.

Edge:...Whoa.


Cut to: THE LAIR

The quartet arrives at an abandoned movie theater, park their vehicles in a garage, and walk in.

KnightBat: You live in a MOVIE THEATER!?

Edge: Of course not.

Edge presses the numbers "1120" on the cash register. A door opens up behind him.

DarkCat: Impressive.

KnightBat *begrudgingly*: Indeed.

The group walks in. The sight is a marvel to behold. There are walls filled with differant gadgets, 5 or so impressive-looking motorcycles, a science lab with a supercomputer and forensic equipment.

KnightBat: Damn.

Edge takes off his glasses and mask, then sighs. His hair becomes red, his physigue less toned. Bruises, scars, and cuts appear all over his body. His striking gray/silver eyes turn into a deep blue. Edge disappears. In his place is Kyle Enders.

[Alexia Dark]

Ooo... it seems you've learned the art of suspense, Dante... well done :up:.

[Swordmaster]

Thanks

[GammaMike]

Nice work lil brotha

[Swordmaster]

Chapter 5: Identities


The group looks on in a combination of shock and horror as Kyle turns to them. His voice is nothing more than a whisper though a trace of cockiness is still there.

Kyle: Pretty, ain't it?

The group looks on, too shocked for words.

Kyle: These are all just from tonight.

DarkCat runs forward.

DarkCat: Tonight!? But...you've been at this for years!

Edge: I've...been in excellent hands.

As if on cue, a middle-aged man walks in. He has short, graying hair, dark eyes that are almost black. His physicality is toned, though. He wears a white wife-beater, and black shorts.

Man: Damn it Kyle...

Kyle: It was the Heaven or Hell Gang, Stormm.

Stormm: You've handled them before...

Kyle: They caught me off guard.

Stormm: Yer getting cocky, Edge. It'll get you killed one day.

Kyle: We've been through this.

Stormm: Too many times.

Regardless, Stormm starts attending to Kyle's wounds. Kyle sits down.

Amazonia: Uh...we're still here, if it matters.

Kyle: It matters. Before you tell me what exactly you with me, show me your faces. Your real faces.

KnightBat: This is my real face.

Kyle stares at him.

Knghtbat: (sighing) If you insist.

KnightBat rips off his cowl. Under it is a man with messy brown-black hair, striking green eyes, and a solemn expression. DarkCat's eyes turn from her cat gold to a baby blue. She rips off her face mask, and somewhat slumps. Amazonia stays the same.

Amazonia: What?

Everyone stares at her.

Amazonia: Fine.

Her body shrinks a few inches, and her black hair changes to brown.

Kyle looks at KnightBat, quizzically.

Kyle: Bruce Masters? The famous zillionare? This is what you do in your free time? I thought you took up polo.

Bruce just stares at Kyle.

Kyle: Riiiiiiiight. Sorry, don't know who you guys are?

DarkCat: My name's Stephanie Dark.

Amazonia: Desiree Bell.

Kyle: Kyle Enders. Now that we're done with the pleasantries, what the f**k did you want with me?

Bruce: We heard that there was going to be a problem. A crisis of sorts.

Kyle: What kind of Crisis?

Stephanie: We were in battle with The Captain, a man with a pirate obsession. We stopped him, and he told us something big was going to happen soon.

Her voice lost some of its darkness.

Kyle sighs.

Kyle: Like WHAT?

Bruce: All he said was that it would involve Michael Gamas-

Kyle: The celebrated entrepeneur and scientist?

Desiree: Yes. Him. Him and his press conferance tomorrow would be the start of something big.

Stephanie: We need you to help us watch over it, to stop whatever should happen from occuring?

Kyle: How do you know he wasn't lying?

Bruce: I have...methods...of getting the truth out of people.

Kyle: Something doesn't add up here. Why me?

Stephanie: Because you're the best out of all of us.

Kyle blushes somewhat.

Kyle:Soooooo...have a place to stay for the night?

Stormm: Do we have enough room for that?

Kyle: We'll make room.

[GammaMike]

nice

[Swordmaster]

Chapter 6: Chaos' Warm Welcome

The next day:

The quartet rides (or in Amazonia's case, glides) towards the Gamma Building, where the world-famous entrepeneur Michael Gamas says he has made a scientific breakthrough that will change the lives of thousands, if not millions.
Edge, fully healed, and DarkCat are riding side by side on their motorcycles.

Edge: So how'd you three hook up anyway? Meet at a club or something?

DarkCat laughs.

DarkCat: Nah. You hear about the Museum break in a few nights back, down in Spidmanhatten?

Edge: Yeah, I'd heard rumors. I was busy though. Had to tackle a serial rapist.

DarkCat: Tough work.

Edge: Yeah. But continue.

DarkCat: Well, apparently we were all free that night. Some mob thug named Edd broke into steal some old Egyptian Jewels. I was the first to get there, as cats being related to ancient Egypt and all...*wink*

Edge: Ha.

DarkCat: Well, I thought he was alone, but he had back-up. 10 guys, fully armed with Tommy gins. I thought I was screwed, when I heard a shadow in the background. I have very excellent hearing. As they were about to open fire, the lights were knocked out. When they went back on, I saw Amazonia and KnightBat standing there, with all 10 thugs knocked out.

Edge: Damn...

DarkCat: Definately. Anyway, they invited me to join their little group. I accepted. We worked their for a few nights, encounterd the Captain, and made our way to find you.

Edge (sarcastically): I'm touched.

DarkCat shakes her head and speeds up. Edge smirks under his mask and rides up to join her.

CUT TO: Gamma Building.

KnightBat: I have cameras set up in the Gamma Lounge, so we'll know who comes in and out.

Amazonia: Do you EVER sleep?

KnightBat:...No.

Amazonia chuckles.

DarkCat: We should each set up posts over the 4 surrounding buildings. We'll be able to keep a good eye out there.

Edge: Good idea.

KnightBat: I was going to say that...eventually.

Everyone except KnightBat laughs, and even he manages to smirk. The group seperates. Edge jumps from building to building, taking post on Punisheria Company. KnightBat takes out a gun and grapples his way onto the Beginsia Factory. Amazonia flies over to the Dcomica Newspaper building.

10 minutes later, Michael Gamas walks out. He reeks of elegance and stature, wearing a black tuxedo. His bald head glistens in the sun. Applause greets his smiling face.

Gamas: Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to thank you for coming out here today. Through years of scientific research, I have discovered what many thought impossible. I am talking about the cures for HIV, AIDS, and the many types of cancers!

Applause echoes throughout the crowd.

Impressive, DarkCat thought.

Gamas moves his hand in a motion of silence.

Gamas: Through the utilization of concentrated Gamma Radiation and solar energy in this machine *points to huge device, we can now discover and effectively elliminate that which causes those horrible illnesses!

KnightBat hears something to the left of him. A bald man in a suit walks to the edge of the building and opens a briefcase. KnightBaat signals DarkCat over.

KnightBat: Use your eyesight to see what's in that briefcase.

DarkCat: It's a tripod...oh god! It's a sniper rifle! He's gonna assassinate Gamas.

Edge jumps over, as does Amazonia.

Edge: What's up?

KnightBat: We've got an assassin on our hands.

Amazonia: Greeeat.

KnightBat: I can take him out with one simple Knightarang.

As KnightBat gets up, Edge stops him.

KnightBat: What the hell are yoou doing?!

Edge: If you throw that at him, it'll fall, sure, but when it does it'll fall to the ground, shooting some innocent civillian, or civillians.

Amazonia: How can you be sure?

Edge: I have a sixth sense about that. It allows me to see all possible outcomes of any situation.

DarkCat: Bet that comes in handy.

Edge: It does. Listen. Me, Desiree, and Bruce will distract him. Steph, you sneak up behind and grab him.

DarkCat: Gotcha.

She leaps away.

Edge: You guys, follow my lead. KnightBat, you do your thing.

The two nod. They jump to the sniper, right as he's about to make the shot.

Edge: Hey there.

The sniper jumps up, and DarkCat grabs him in a full nelson. KnightBat walks to him.

KnightBat: Who are you!?

Sniper: M-m-my name is Greg. I was hired to distract you four.

KnightBat: What? Why!? *Punch to stomach*

Greg: To allow my partner to destroy the Gamma Machine Gamas created. *Smirk* Which he should be doing right...about...now!

An explosion rips through the air. KnightBat knocks Greg out and the four run to the edge. Gamas' body lays there.

Edge: Is he...?

DarkCat: I can hear his heartbeat. He'll live. The others, however...

The four look alarmingly at all the dead bodies on the ground.

[GammaMike]

Wow, this is gonna be good...........

Chapter 7: Aftershocks


The next day...



The four sit in the Lair, watching the news. Chris Conn's face, a reporter for Channel 7 news, fills the screen.

Conn: Chaos. Absolute chaos. 147 civillians, over 50 injured. The man responsible, Jack Morg, among the dead. His accomplice is in custody and facing 50 to life. Michael Gamas is currently in the hospital, comatose but stable.

Desiree: Had enough?

With no objections, she turns off the television.

Kyle: Who hired the two?

Bruce: What makes you think they WERE hired?

Kyle: Too professional to be an amatuer. I've seen amateur snipers in my day. Trust me, these aren't them.

Stephanie: Well, alot of good that does us. We'd need to know for whom they worked for us to find their employer.

Stormm walks in.

Stormm: That's easy enough to do. MC!

The giant computer hums to life. A harsh male voice rings from its speakers.

MC: What? Who are these people?

Kyle: Friends. (Lowering his voice) He can see through cameras placed throughout the whole building.

Desiree: Ah.

Stormm: We need you to find out where Greg Tesagen and Jack Morg worked.

MC: What makes you think I can?

Kyle: You're a supercomputer.

MC: Dammit.

MC winks out.

Kyle: Forgive him. He's a bit rough around the edges, and as such may appear to be an ass hole. Once you get to know him however...he's still an ass hole.

Bruce: AI?

Kyle: Yep. Stormm built him. He comes in handy in times like these.

MC winks back in.

MC: They worked in a building known as the SCB. It's located at-

Kyle: I know where it is.

MC: Well excuse me.

MC winks out again.

Desiree: Time to go to work, then?

Kyle: You know it. Before we go, anyone want a beer?

Bruce: Aren't you a little young to be drinking?

Kyle stares at him, his eyes becoming steely grey.

Bruce: Okay then.

Cut to: SCB.

The four creep in through the vents.

Amazonia: Do your plans always have to be this damn complicated Knighty?

KnightBat: Yes.

DarkCat: Freak.

KnightBat stares on.

Edge: So, this immensely complicated plan involves snatching up Luke Snipe from his private office.

KnightBat: No. It involves snatching him up in public without anyone noticing, then interogating him in his private office.

Amazonia: And we'll manage this...how?

KnightBat takes something out from his belt.

KnightBat: Grappling gun. Holds up to 500 pounds. I'll crawl across the ceiling, and grapple him up.

DarkCat: And how won't people notice.

Edge takes out capsules.

Edge: That's where I come in. Sleep bombs. 100 meter diamter Strong enough to knock out a group of rhinos. We'll lift him up, I'll toss these down. Simple.

Amazonia:...Yeah.

KnightBat opens a vent, and crawls across using the scallops on his gauntlets. He takes out his gun and aims. Lenses pop over his eyes, enabling him to aim better. He finds Snipe flirting with a secretary. He fires when the scretary turns her back. The line shoots out and grabs him by his necktie and lifts him to KnightBat's level. Edge throws his bombs, and everyone in the room falls unconscious.

DarkCat: Nice.

She grabs Snipe and drags him over to the vent over his office. She opens it, and KnightBat throws Snipe down, jumping down. The others follow suit.

KnightBat picks a dazed Snipe by his collar and holds him high in the air.

KnightBat: Who hired you to kill Gamas!?

Snipe: I never knew. Never saw his f-f-face. He transferred the money to our account. That's all I know! I swear!

KnightBat punches him.

KnightBat: Swear to me! How'd you know it was a man!?

Snipe: I-i-it was just a guess!

KnightBat kicks him in the crotch.

Edge (bemused): Brutal.

KnightBat: Liar!

Snipe: It was some foreign man! That's all I know! Put me down, please!

KnightBat smirks.

KnightBat: Very well.

He throws Snipe to the ground, knocking him unconscious.

DarkCat: Nice work.

Edge: A tad violent, but otherwise...*thumbs up*

DarkCat suddenly stiffens.

DarkCat: We should leave. Security's coming.

Edge: I knocked them out!

DarkCat: New shift, by the sound of it.

Edge: Why do we have to leave?

Amazonia: In the outside world, he's a respectable businessman. Wed look like we assaulted him.

Edge: Point.

As the guards enter, no one but Luke Snipe's unconscious body greets them.

[Swordmaster]

There shall be a brief hiatus. I shall resume tomorrow or Saturday

[Swordmaster]

Chapter 8: Duality
Michael Gamas awakens in Jayne Memorial Hospital, sore, but otherwise unharmed.

What happened?, he wondered.

Then, in a flash, it he remembered. His unveiling of the Gamma machine, his gift to the world, cameras flashing. Then, an explosion, a blinding flash of green light, himself flying through the air, and, right before unconsciousness envoloped him, a dark chuckle inside his own head...

Michael gets up and walks to the window, which overlooks Ledzep Park. Children are playing with eachother, throwing balls and frisbees, running...

So innocent.

*Don't you love it?*

A dark voice, laced with cruelty, rings through Gamas' head. He turns, finding no one.

Gamas: Who's there?

The voice comes again.

*No one's here. No one but you.*

Gamas: But...your voice...you have to be somewhere...don't you?

*Oh, but I am. I'm inside your stupid, bald head.*

Gamas: Can you hear my thoughts?

*Oh yes. And let me tell you, they're quite amusing.*

Michael thinks instead of talking.

<I'm NOT insane.>

*Of course you're not.*

His voiced is laced with sarcasm.

<Who are you>

*Who am I? I am your darkest thoughts, your hatred, all the anger you've ever had incarnate. You've repressed me for years. The explosion changed that. It set me free.*

<Do you even have a name?>

Laughter echoes inside his head.

*Call me...Gamma.*

<And what do you want...Gamma?>

*Power. The same as you. Don't deny it. You've always wanted power, fame, glory. Your constant efforts prove that. I can help you seize it! To reign over this city.*

Gamas pauses, deep in thought.

*And you can help me...how?*

Again. The laughter.

*Hold your right hand out. Focus your rage, hatred, anger!*

Gamas, somewhat reluctantly, does so. Almost instantly, his hand is encased in a green glowing orb.

Gamas: Wha...?

*The explosion gave you the ability to channel Gamma waves and utilize them.*

Gamma laughs again. This time, Gamas joins in. The doorknob turns, and Dr. Meatba walks in.

Meatba: Mr. Gamas! What are you doing out of bed!? You need at least a months bedrest! And what were you laughing at?

Gamas turns his head, a maloevolent smile on his face, his eyes glowing a bright green...

[Batman]

*taps Batsignal*

Nice.

[Swordmaster]

I can send you that scene

[Batman]

My computer's f***ed up right now(scratch that,it always is...but,moreso now.)...So...I'll just wait for the DVD.

Thanks,though.

[Swordmaster]

No problem. They have a whole bunch of scenes in the screencap thread

[Swordmaster]

Sub-Chapter I-Enter Edge:



This is what it feels like to be Kyle Enders.



You were found on the doorsteps of a middle-aged couple. Over the course of thirteen years you are treated like the gum stuck to someone’s shoe, made to do household chores for 18 hours a day during the summer, and sent to a horrible boarding school during the school year.



One day, at school, you run the standard physical health test that all 13 year olds must take. You run a mile in less than a minute-and-a-half. You bench 250 pounds. You manage to get a bulls eye during your archery test. You dodge all balls thrown at you, and in turn knock out everyone on the opposing team. You hide all wounds.



Over the course of the next few months you are treated as a social pariah, sitting alone at lunch, never joining a team. One day, it becomes too much to bear. You escape your prison during the night, when everyone else is sleeping, and manage to walk all the way to Hype City, a place that looks like the epitome of civilization. You soon discover that is not the case.



Forced to fend for food, shelter, and water, you become one of the homeless. Your first night, you are savagely beaten, and subsequently rescued by a man. Stormm. He takes you to his home, an abandoned warehouse, where he builds gadgets and weapons to save the city from collapsing upon itself. Stormm, a master of Karate, Kung Fu, and Street Fighting, teaches you how to fight, and teaches you to control pain and emotion. He teaches you how to control your abilities. You have learned how to disguise yourself.

He teaches you what one would learn in school. Most importantly, he teaches you to care for all life, and never to kill.



For four years you are educated, and when you reemerge, you are a different person. Cocky, arrogant, proud, but also noble and selfless. You watch over the city, waiting…





When you reemerge, you are no longer Kyle Enders. You are Edge.

[Batman]

Not bad.:up:

Will you be doing one of these for each character?

[Swordmaster]

Only for The League

[GammaMike]

Nice work Dante, but you forgot my super strength and healing as well as not needing to breathe oxygen.

[Swordmaster]

That's not your character. You're Gamma powers, however, allow you to enhance your strength and speed, as well as create force fields.

[GammaMike]

That's not your character. You're Gamma powers, however, allow you to enhance your strength and speed, as well as create force fields.

Works for me, it is your story and I will trust your judgment. Good Job thus far!:up: Do I get my GammaMike costume? I really like my black bodysuit with the large Gamma green "M" covering my torso

[Swordmaster]

Do you have a pic of it? I may be able to work something similar into that (something like Lex Luthor's armor).

Nope, unfortunately. The Lounge has been slowly dying without him.

Dante,
I finally got to read ALL the chapters you've posted. Very impressive, young man. Keep up the great work! :up: :)

[Swordmaster]

Sub-Chapter II: Enter DarkCat

This is how it feels to be DarkCat.

You are found on the doorstep of a single, middle-aged man. He takes you in and raises you lovingly. You are treated well, and you never once thought about leaving. Yet you still feel seperate. Different.

At the age of 5 you are enrolled in a gymnastics class, where you excel. One day, you sneak onto the highest beam, 5 feet above the ground. That may not seem that much, but when you're 5, things are alot bigger than they are to an adult. You fall, but surprisngly, land on your feet. Your father picks you up, not noticing a glint of gold in your eye...

13 years later, at 18 you qualify for the Olympics, getting the silver, but that's okay with you. You know you did you your best. You fly home to Spideria City...

Walking through the streets one day, you see a gang of 5 or so picking on a 60-or-so year old woman. You run over to help her, and tell her to run. The gang turns on you, taking out switchblades. Your eyes go gold, and you leap 10 feet in the air, dodging the knife slashes. As you go to punch one of the men, you fingernails somehow become claws. You slash the face of a guy about to stab you, and kick him in the groin. You punch another in the stomach, knocking him out cold. The other three, terrified, run away. Exhilirated, you find you enjoyed the rush of the combat, and that you feel better than you have ever felt before.

Horrified, you go to your dad's house, where you tell him everything that happened. He tells you how you were found on his doorstep, but strangely you are not surprised. You tell him that to you, he is your real dad. You tell your dad about the rush of he combat, the exhiliration. He just smiles.

You decide to use your...talents...for the purpose of helping others. You train for the next year, honing your already impressive skills. Your father helps you. When the year is over, DarkCat emerges.

[Alexia Dark]

Well done, Dante :up:.

[Swordmaster]

*credit goes to Alexia Dark for help with my origin to make the story less crappy

[Dark Phantom]

As always, you never fail to suprise me. Good Job!

Still, I would like to know something. How do these characters choose what path they are going to lead? You can't just have a character become a hero because they feel like it. They need a specific reason. Something that changes them for the better like Batman or Spiderman.

Cause as you know it takes just one step to lead someone in a different path. Either good or evil. When you design characters just remember this: What is going to define this person to become good or evil?

[Swordmaster]

It all depends on the way they were raised, actually. Edge was raised and trained by a man who wants to help, but due to his old age, cannot, so he trains someone else, someone gifted, to help him. DarkCat wants to use her powers for good, again, because of the way she was raised. KnightBat wants revenge for his parents assassination. Bella's origin is complex, and one I have yet to work out

See that's what I like to hear. This is what what you need to make stand out in your origins. Some of yours were good like Edge and KnightBat. However, In DarkCat's origin it's only mentioned why she chose to be a hero. It's not enough. You need to make that specific part more definitive.

I hope I'm not being to pushy, just giving words of advice

[Swordmaster]

I see what you're saying. Infact, it gave an idea for a new part

[Snipershot]

im an assassin, right?

[Swordmaster]

No, you were the head of an assassinataion firm.

*Don't like it?*

<F**k you>

[gregtestagent]

I would like us to be "assassins" instead of just "snipers" sniping is a part of the job. Actually Sniping is the first thing you would learn when you become a hitman. It's the easiest and safest way to neutralize your target.

Sub-Chapter III: Enter KnightBat


This is how it feels to be KnightBat.

You were found on the doorsteps of the wealthy Masters' couple, Co-CEO's of MasterTech, the companies leading manufacturer in digital technology, by the butler, Lee Amazi. You are taken in and adopted by them, and are raised well, not pampered, but not ignored. When watching television one day, you see a documentary about bats, and become fascinated by their whole lifestyle. Over the passing months, you learn anything and everything you can about bats.

For your tenth birthday, you see "The Legacy of Zorro", and are awed by the vigilante's daring acts of heroism. On the walk out of the theater, you pretend to be Zorro, swishing an imaginary blade through the air. On your way home, as you walk through a dark, dank alleyway, two shots break the soundless night. When you turn to your parents, you see their dead bodies, soaked in blood...

The police conclude that the murder was commited by corporate assassins, and they take in two suspects. You, however, know that their capture will not prevent what happened to him from happening to anyone else. On your fathers jacket, you vow to fight injustice, and remember what you have learned about bats, and the vigilante activities of Zorro...

When you reach 14 years of age you travel abroad, across many countries, learning skills. The way of the hunt, the abiltiy to fight, and the ability to make your mind as effective a weapon as a fist. This happens for five years.

At 19, you return back to Batham, a part of Hype City. You realize now how corrupt and crime-ridden the city is, and begin to devolop plans.

With Lee's help, you create a fortress in the abandoned Subway Systems underth the Masters Mansion, and create a dark persona, one who many say is the devil himself...Cloaked in black, penetrating eyes, and ears like a bat.

You have become...the KnightBat.

[Batman]

:batman::up:

[rigel7soldiers]

Eh... why the hell not.

Could you at least mention me a few times? Jes' wonderin'...

[Alexia Dark]

I hope I'm not being to pushy, just giving words of advice

Does one need a reason to use their abilities? The inspiration for DarkCat, on my end at least, was Alexia from my story. You don't need a reason if heroism and kindness is part of your personality.

[Swordmaster]

Eh... why the hell not.

Could you at least mention me a few times? Jes' wonderin'...

But of course.

[Swordmaster]

Chapter 9: In the Cave


ENT. The Knightcave

KnightBat sits at the massive super computer in the cave he found after the deaths of his parents, cowl off, becoming Bruce Masters again. His vivid green eyes are narrowed, taking in the information that is relayed throughout the screen. Lee, his butler, walks in.

Lee: What is it, sir?

Bruce: I'm reading the reports of the Jayne Memorial Hospital Explosion.

Lee: Didn't the police conclude it to be a gas leak?

Bruce: Yes. That's what they concluded. It's time for me to make my own conclusions. Do you know whose room blew up, so to speak?

Lee: No sir.

Bruce: Michael Gamas'. His body was missing after the smoke cleared.

Lee: Perhaps it was incinerated?

Bruce: That's what I thought at first...

Bruce types in a command.

Bruce: But then I read about the doctor with a hole in his stomach. If it was indeed a gas explosion, his body would be charred. A hole would not have appeared in it.

Lee: Do you have any ideas, then?

Bruce: Yes. I studied the air. They were traces of gamma-radiation in it.

Lee: And that means...?

Bruce: That there was no gas leak. Think about it. Gamas' machine harnessed gamma waves. When it blew up, he was standing right beside it. They had him listed under stable condition right before he disappeared.

Lee: Are you suggesting, Master Bruce, that Michael Gamas somehow gained Gamma powers, and used them to kill his doctor and escape?

Bruce: Pretty much, yeah.

Lee: Well, it's certainly one of your more sensible ideas.

Bruce smirks, then frowns.

Bruce: If I'm right, he's still out there, which means he's a threat.
Bruce stands up.

Lee: What will you do?

Bruce: Go back to Hype City. I'll talk to the others. We'll come up with a plan.

Lee: Would you be as so kind as to notify me if you're going to pursue him.

Bruce: Of course.

He takes the cowl and puts it on his head, reaffirming his oath to his parents, becoming the KnightBat once again.

[InsaneKid]

This is awesome. Design my character as you wish. I'm gonna be keeping a watchful eye on this, so keep up the incredible work!

[Swordmaster]

Thanks dude :up:

You read fast :up:

[InsaneKid]

Thanks dude :up:

You read fast :up:

I read entire books in less then a day.

[Swordmaster]

Impressive.

[InsaneKid]

Impressive.

Thanks. It's easy when you don't have much to do.:D

[Swordmaster]

True words, my friend :D

[InsaneKid]

I like how you statrted Sub-chapter 1 with;

"This is what it feels like to be Kyle Enders."

Then follow that with a detailed background. It's very original.:up:

[Swordmaster]

Thanks. It's somewhat inspired by the SW: Ep. 3 novel, but they go more into feelings, not the background

[InsaneKid]

So when Kyle was ditched, his foster parents turned out to be *******s? Damn, poor kid.

[Swordmaster]

Yep, pretty much.

[InsaneKid]

Sounds like he can kick some ass. He knows a lot of self-defense.

[Swordmaster]

There's a reason for that. I'm planning on making this a trilogy, where all gets tied up in the third installment.

[InsaneKid]

There's a reason for that. I'm planning on making this a trilogy, where all gets tied up in the third installment.

Nice. It seems like you have this well mapped-out.:up:

I wish you good luck and happy writings.:D

Thank you.

Chapter 10: Preparations for War

Michael Gamas paced around the abandoned train station he has taken residence in, as the world cannot know what he is up to.

<If the city...>

*No, my friend. The world.*

<Yes. The world. If it is to be ours, than we will need a strategy.>

*My strong point. First thing: We will need to eliminate all immediate threats.*

<The police?>

*No no, those pesky heroes. They will undoubtedly try to stop us, if we make our siege for power open.*

<Than what do you suggest?>

*We will need to discredit them, make the public hate and fear them.*

<What's the purpose of that?>

*We will need to appear heroic, make the oublic trust us. We will also need to make it appear as though they made the first move(

<Any ideas?>

*A few. Many of which-*

He is cut off by footsteps. A gang of 7 males or so appears, all wearing red bandanas.

<The Reds>

*Who?*

<The local gang. Many fear them.>

*I don't. Let's deal with them. Permanently*

Gamas walks up to the group, eyes starting to glow green.

Gamas: Gentlemen...

[InsaneKid]

Nice. Do have a leader planned out for the Reds?

[Swordmaster]

Nah, I'm not planning on showing the actual murders. I'm implying that they're killed.

[Red X]

can i join?

[Swordmaster]

Sure, you could be in it.

[Red X]

Booya!

[Swordmaster]

Chapter 11: News

As the group of Kyle, Stephanie, and Desiree were in a heated discussion, the Knightmobile raced in, leaving skidmarks on the floor. Storm walks in.

Storm: Dammit boy, I just washed these floors.

The roof of the car opens up, and KnightBat jumps out.

KnightBat: Sorry, but I have news.

Desiree: So do we.

KnightBat: Well...wait, what?

Kyle: You have a GPS, two-way video feed communicators, a computer, and god knows what else in that car of yours, but not a TV? Sad, sad, bastard...

KnightBat just glares as he takes off his cowl, revealing the tired face of Bruce Masters.

Desiree: You left at eight last night, Batsy, and it's almost nine in the morning. Where were you? I was worried.

Bruce looks taken aback at this statement. He blushes slightly.

Bruce: You were worried about me?

Desiree: Of course, I worry about all my friends.

Bruce: Right...friends...of course...

He turns towards MC-117, not noticing Desiree blushing slightly as well.

Bruce: Mind if I use this?

Kyle: Not at all.

Bruce takes a small disc out of his belt and puts it into the CD drive. The computer immediately responds.

MC-117: What!?

Bruce: I need you to analyze the data on this disk.

Stephanie: Are you going to tell us where you were last night?

Bruce: Gathering everything on that disc. MC, if you please?

MC-117: F**k you, you ain't the boss of me, b***h.

Bruce blinks his eyes, shocked. Storm walks forward.

Storm: Sorry. I think we made him too big of an independent thinker. MC, process the data on that disc before I send a virus into your system, you goddamn pice of s**t.

MC: Sigh...processing...done.

A series of anatomical charts, diagrams, and information on Gamma radiation pops up.

Kyle: OKay, all I see here is gamma information, and a pic of a naked dude. Care to explain what all this crap is?

Bruce: Gladly. It is my belief that the gamma radiation that was released when Gamas' machine blew up affected his body, giving him...

Stephanie: Powers?

Bruce: Exactly. I believe he gained the power to channel Gamma energy into many seperate forms, one of which being able to fire concussive blasts made up of it...

Kyle:...Explaining the holes in the bodies of the doctor in charge of him, and the Reds.

Bruce: Precisely. Wait...the Reds were killed?

Stephanie: Yeah, it was on the news and all over the radio this morning.

Kyle: You don't have a radio either? *shakes head*

Bruce: Did you tape it?

Kyle: No need. We've got Tivo. Storm, fire her up.

Storm: Gladly.

Storm walks to the TV and presses a button. The news fills the screen.

Chris Conn: This is Chris Conn here. We are at the scene where the bodies of members from the notorious gang 'The Reds' were found this morning by maintenance workers. They all seem to have the same holes in their abdomens as the doctor. In related news, Michael Gamas, famed entrepeneur, has returned from a week-long disappearance, claiming he was kidnapped by a doctor working with the Reds, and that the holed are part of a satanic ritual they were performing. He returned back to Gamas Industries this morning.

Storm turns off the TV.

Bruce: Crap. He's in a position of power again. We have to stop him.

Kyle: How can you be sure that it was him?

Bruce: MC, show the effects of that particular gamma-radiation on the human body.

MC starts to protest, but Storm sends him a menacing look. He complies. The diagram of the human changes. It becomes green.

Kyle:...And?

Bruce sighs.

Bruce: The evidence is pretty conclusive. We need to confront Gamas. Today.

Stephanie: Why today?

Bruce: The longer he remains free, the bigger of a threat he becomes.

Stephanie: Ah.

Kyle: Oh damn, and I wanted to watch the Oprah/Dr. Phil special.

Everyone looks at him.

Kyle: Joking.

Desiree: Uh-huh.

Bruce: Of course.

Stephanie pats his back.

Stephanie: Of course you were.

She smirks as she walks on. Kyle grumbles, then turns to Storm.

Kyle: Erm...Tivo that for me, would you?

Storm:...

[Batman]

Haha...Nice.

Seriousness with a little bit of comedy. :up:

...Why didn't I think of that? :confused: :(

[Swordmaster]

Because you sir, are a dumbass

[Batman]

Shut your pie-hole and get on YIM. :mad:

[Swordmaster]

Been there

Chapter 11: Suiting-Up

The four heroes walk into a dark room. Kyle snaps his fingers and light floods the room. On what appear to be mannequins are four outfits. The costumes of the heroes. They walk to their respective mannequins and prepare to suit up. The three males look over at the two females.

Desiree:...

Stephanie: I am NOT getting suckered into Kyle seeing me naked.

Kyle: But...I...wha...?

Stephanie (sweetly): You heard me. But just to make you feel better, neither can Bruce. Go into another room

Bruce: Like I give a damn.

Desiree: I don't mind you seeing me, Brucey. I'm comfortable in or out of my clothes around all.

An awestruck Bruce watches as Desiree slowly unzippers your jacket and-

Kyle: Oh no you don't lover boy! If I can't see, neither can you.

Bruce:...Damn you.

The guys walk out. The girls giggle.

Desiree: So adorable, don't you think?

Stephanie: What? Oh yeah...I guess.

A somewhat dreamy look is in her eyes.

15 minutes later, the team reunites, fully uniformed. Edge presses a button on his belt.

Amazonia: What's that for?

Edge: It generates a half-inch magnetic field around my body. Bullets bounce right off me.

KnightBat: You devoloped it yourself, I assume?

Edge: Yeah, I came up with the design, Sorm built it. Don't know what I'd do without the man. He saved my life.

Everyone is silent for a moment.

DarkCat: What are we waiting for? Let's go!

Edge: Don't need to tell me twice.

Edge and DarkCat put on Helmets and jump on their respetive motorcycles. KnightBat gets in the KnightMobile. He turns to Desiree.

KnightBat: Need a lift?

Amazonia: Nah, I'd rather fly.

With that, she jumps into the air and flies off. With a disappointed sigh, KnightBat activates the turbines and drives off.

Chapter 12: Confrontation

The four heroes walked into Gamas' building, and ran into no opposition. There was a simple explanation for that: the floor was littered with dead bodies. KnightBat went over and examined a few of the bodies.

Edge: The hell?

DarkCat: Oh god. This is sick. Who would do this?

KnightBat: Gamas.

Amazonia: Do you really think he'd kill his own employees?

KnightBat: I wouldn't, not until I saw this. Come here.

The three ran over. Edge looked at what KnightBat was staring at.

Edge: So what? It's just a...hole...

Comprehension dawned on him.

DarkCat: Uh...for those of us who aren't blessed with super-intellect, can someone please explain wat's going on?

KnightBat: The holes, they're the exact width of the holes found on the Reds and the doctor.

Amazonia: So Gamas killed his employees? Why?

Edge: I suggest we go ask him.

The four ran to an elevator, and pressed the 'up' button. No response.

Edge: Looks like we'll have to take the stairs.

DarkCat: Thank you, Captain Obvious.

Amazonia: 70 flights of stairs...fun.

KnightBat: At least you can fly.

Amazonia smiled at him. He smirked.

The four made their way up 70 flights of stairs, without really going up the stairs; Edge and DarkCat super-leaped 5-10 floors at a time; Amazonia flew; and KnightBat used his grappeling gun to ascend to the top level. Finally, they arrived.

Edge(sarcastically): That was an effort.

They all laughed, except KnightBat, who stood with his arms crossed.

Edge: Wha's up with your ass?

KnightBat: We need to stay focused. We have a job to do.

Edge: I was trying to lighten up the mood.

KnightBat: You failed.

KnightBat went and kicked open the door. The four walked in Gamas' massive officeand saw him sitting behind his desk, hands folded.

Gamas: Hello there. How can I help you today?

KnightBat: We know what you did, Gamas.

Gamas smiled, but it was by no means pleasant.

Gamas: Why, I'm afraid I have no idea what you are talking about, sir.

Edge: Cut the crap, Mikey-Boy. We know you killed your Doctor massacred the Reds.

Gamas' smile left his face, replaced by a snarl.

Gamas: How dare you accuse me of such a thing?! I a m a respected member of the community!

Dante: *Not much of an actor though*

Edge smirked under his mask.

DarkCat: You're not a good actor, though.

Dante: *Whoa. We think alike.*

Amazonia: Confess, and you'll be given a lesser sentence.

Gamas: I still have no idea what you are talking about! And people call you heroes!

KnightBat: We KNOW the Gamma explosion gave you powers. If it hasn't occurred already, you will be driven insane. Your mind was not built for such power.

Gamas dropped all pretenses and stood up, a faint green aura encircling his hands.

Gamas: Well then, since I have fiven you less credit then deservedm I think you should be given a gift of apology. Like this!

Green energy beams were thrown from his hands, aimed right at Amazonia.

KnightBat: NO!

He dove, and knocked her out of the way, taking the full force of the blast. He fell, limp, his body smoking.

Amazonia: Bruce!

She ran over to him, and checked his pulse, tears flowing down her face.

Amazonia: He's still alive. He still has a pulse. It's weak, but still there.

Gamas watched on in confused awe.

Gamas:...He should be dead...

Amazonia: He's tough. More then you'll ever be.

Edge: Let's show him how much.

Edge took three disks out of his belt. He pressed a symbol on each of them rapidly. Rotating blades popped out, and Edge threw them at Gamas. They were direct hits. He staggered and fell.

DarkCat: What were those?

Edge: Hard-Impact shuriken. My own invention. You press the symbol and-

DarkCat: Later. We've got a job to finish.

Gamas rose, his eyes glowing green.

Gamas: You'll pay for that.

Amazonia: I don't think so!

She flew at Gamas and started pummelling him with full stength. he appeared to be unfazed.

Amazonia: What the-?

Gamas grabbed her by her throat.

Gamas: Foolish girl. My Gamma powers grant me great strength and durability. They are no match for your-

DarkCat: Ah, save it!

She extended claws from her fingertips and slashed at Gamas' wrist, causing him to drop the now unconscious Amazonia. Edge raced and caught her as DarkCat continued to fight.. He rested her next to KnightBat.

Dante: *You know, if the situation didn't suck, this would look really sweet.*

Edge: Not now, Dante. We have to do our duty.

Edge felt the two minds become one, and he turned to see Gamas firing shot after shot of Gamma energy at DarkCat. She was, amazingly, dodging every shot.

DarkCat: That all you got?

Gamas, infuriated, clapped his hands together, creating a super gamma blast, one that DarkCat was unable to dodge. She fell in a graceful arc, a look of confusion on her face.

Edge's adrenaline kicked in, along with his combat instinct. He glared at Gamas, who was grinning maliciously.

Edge: Now...you'll pay for that.

Gamas: We shall see.

Edge leaped at Gamas, whose hands were already glowing green.

Chapter 13: Assault

Edge raised a fist to strike Gamas, but Gamas, displaying an incredible amount of speed, caught it.

Edge: You gotta be kidding me...

Gamas: On the contrary, I am quite serious.

Gamas threw Edge across the room, into a wall of many humanitarian awards.

Gamas: You poor little man. Did you really think you could defeat me?

Edge: Well...yeah.

Gamas: You were sorley mistaken, then.

Gamas blasted Edge with all his power. The pain was unbearable, like your body being destroyed from the inside. Edge screamed with pain, but then, suddenly, it stopped, though the pain lingered.

*What stopped it?*

Edge looked up and saw Gamas' hands restrained by some sort of whip, except that whip had tiny, sharp daggers around it. Gamas' blood dripped onto the floor.

*So he can bleed*

Edge looked up and saw the owner of the dagger whip. It was a man. He had slicked back brown hair, and a white mask covered half of his face. A black body suit protected his body, and a dark cape was thrown across his back. A look of what could only be described as pure hatred was on his face.

Edge:...Dark...Phantom...

Dark Phantom was a mysterious vigilante that no one knew much about. He had come into prominence around the same time as Edge, but the two never met. His reputation, however, was the stuff of legend.

Dark Phantom, displaying phenonminal strength, threw Gamas out of the window with his whip. Gamas screamed, a yell of bloodthirsty rage.

Dark Phantom ran over to Edge, who winced when the man touched him.

Dark Phantom: Easy, Kyle Wyatt.

Edge: How do you...?

Dark Phantom: In due time...Rest, now.

Dark Phantom placed his hand on Edge's forehead, and he fell unconscious. Then, in a flash of smoke, Dark Phantom vanished. Another moment later, Edge, KnightBat, DarkCat, and Amazonia vanished in a similar fashion.

***

Gamas leaped up to his office just as the four disappeared.

Gamas: ARRRRGGGGH!

*It does not matter*

<What!? Of course it matters! The "heroes" escaped alive. That, and a new player has entered the mix. We're done. Finished!>

*No. It does not matter, as long as you have the recording*

<Of...of course...why didn't I...>

Gamas grinned manically.
