The "World of Heroes" DC RPG Season III

[Sentry2005]

I scoop up those that Sinestro sent my way, and deposit them in the cage construct that I had made.

One thing kept nagging at me. If the guardians were monitoring Earth, and this whole Unity thing, why haven't they sent any more Lanterns. Where's Kyle, hell, where's Jordan?

As I turn in the air to join Sinestro in making a wall, i pray to god that my signal got through. The two of us against a prison break and the Unity.... well i can't handle it if Sinestro is here to get in my way!

 

[Johnny Blaze]

"We don't know where it came from and how to send it back there. That's the only information that really matters at the moment."

"He disapeared a few weeks ago after Parasite went on a rampage in Metropolis. His company has been in complete chaos ever since. If there was enough of a sentient population to care, Metropolis would probably be headed into a new economic depression."

Imra floated in the air. Her mind quickly trying to formulate a plan. She tried to access any ideas brainy would have but it was no use. His mind was full of Coluan figures and theories.
While it didn't seem important an economic depression in Metropolis would be a major shift in the history as they knew it. However the fact that Lex was in reality p...

Something hit her mentally, she turned as she heard Sinestro call out.
"Gardner!" "Signal others. NOW! Get Jordan, Batman, anyone."

"Oh..sprock."

She turned to her companions.
"They've called for Batman, who will bring Kent back with him. Also." Imra tilted her head. "I do think Supergirl is back in Metropolis."

She then turned to the Question.
"Whould you know how to find the things Sinestro illudes to?" She said calmly however her mind was wildly at work.

She sent a telepathic message to Sinestro and Guy.
***There is specific hostile intent in two of them towards one of you.*** She glanced towards the Prison ***You might also want to watch the prison, something bad is planned there.***

"Luthor's files? I could try. Lexcorp shouldn't have too much security as of right now, and the computers should be easily accesable."

She knew Garth would be against leaving the action, however A Green Lantern, Sinestro and whoever else came would be more than a match for the three Unified Superpowered Humanoids.

"Where do you need to go?" She asked simply.

"Lexcorp tower, please."

Wow, thought Garth to himself. They may not have agreed with him, but to be completely ignored like that? And by Imra too? That was unreal.
The feelings of inadequacy rose up in him again, more so than ever before. The feelings were stronger than they had ever been and threatened to overwhelm him this time. Suddenly, a voice entered Garth’s confused mind, and the feelings of insufficiency slowly subsided. A voice he had never heard before.

Do not worry, Garth Ranzz of Winath. They may think that you are worthless, but I do not.

Who…

I believe you know who I am. But, this is not the place for our conversation to occur. My ship is a much more suitable location, as you will soon discover.

Before Garth could reply, and to the surprise of Imra and the Question, he disappeared in a blinding flash of white hot light…

Meanwhile, Black Mask was stocking up at the museum. He was going to join his troops and take out these zombies, providing some time for Joker. He left the building, packed with weapons.

OOC: Short but hey, I'm in a lazy mood.

We eventually made it to the Cave. Still no sign of Dick. What happened to him?

I walked to the computer and tried to use the GPS, but after Parasite's little trick of using them to destroy the Watchtower, it's not working to well. The best estimate I can do is that he was somewhere in Gotham. If he's...

No. Stop that. He's fine. He's probably hold up with some of the Rogues or something among those lines. He's fine. He's not hurt. Stop. STOP.

For some reason that doesn't help.

"This is Gardner, anyone who can hear this, me and Sinestro got three Unity heavy hitters heading our way near Gotham Harbour! And Bats, bring the Superkid, we're gonna need the mini-kryptonian!"

For once I'm gratefull to hear Dirty-Harry-wannabe's voice. I turn towards Superboy.

"Come on, Kent. We're needed."

 

[The Question]

Before Garth could reply, and to the surprise of Imra and the Question, he disappeared in a blinding flash of white hot light…

".....does he do that often?"

"Come on, Kent. We're needed."

"You know you're really corny when you say that?" Superboy said as he looked over to Batman "Do you need some extra equipment, can I fly out of this cave by going up, where the hell are we and do I need to carry you?"

 

[batnkevlar]

Kyle stepped out of the observatory onto the planets surface. If he really wanted to go back to Earth, why didn't he. It was his home. So what if they didn;t want a hero. There was a whole universe out there that could use him.

"C'mon, gimme a sign. Anything."

A green flash in the distance seemed to answer his call, though he didn't know it yet.

"Someone coming in for briefing probably." He had heard rummbling of alien smugglers in the Alpha Centuri region. Some of the new recruits were being brought in to go with a vet or two. Good training for them.

Kyle walked toward the center structure of the planet. The main chambers, and meeting place of the Guardians and the Corps. Maybe he'd listen in on any new briefings. Heck, he may even tag along on a few. Anything to keep himself busy.

I started approaching Oa. It wasn't a long flight, I don't assume. I was there on business, not pleasure. Which meant NO Arisia. Haha. I'm not the Hal I sued to know. I have a wife. And kids, well, kids coming on the way.

I break through the gap in the outer atmosphere the Oans had left for us, in order to stop us from repeatingly running through the atmosphere. Energy maintained, the gap kept everything in that needed to be in and kept everything that needed to be out out.

I land near the Central Battery. I walk through the hallways. Kilowog passes me on the way.

"Hello Hal."

"Hey Kilowog. How's it going?"

"Same old, same old. You?"

"Well, intergalactic threat on Earth. I was seeing if I could get some help from the Corps?"

"Well, we kinda have a problem with a Apokalips/New Genesis conflict right now."

"I thought you said same old, same old?"

"It is."

Kilowog says goodbye and I find myself walking towards the Guardians again. It's been a while since I talked to them. I do need some more help. Then again, I guess barging in with the Corps of 7200 won't do us any good. It's a bit too much.

I stand before the Guardians.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

"You know you're really corny when you say that?" Superboy said as he looked over to Batman "Do you need some extra equipment, can I fly out of this cave by going up, where the hell are we and do I need to carry you?"

"Follow me and we'll get through by the Batwing ramp. As for you carrying me..." I turn back on the afterburners and wings. "No need."

 

[Spike_x1]

The Parasite looked over the battle ahead. Superman and Slade were both occupied separately and Rudy had over one hundred twisted criminals fearlessly charging at him as they clambered out of the water. The Parasite chuckled as they climbed onto his hulking body and began hitting him, biting him, clawing at him, and any other form of attack that they could dream up.

In one short flash of Rudy's power, all of the raging men within ten feet of the Parasite were reduced to ashen skeletons.

"Bring it on!"

 

[Phantasm]

OOC: Hello my dear RPing peeps. I'm back. And so start my posts as Babs again!

IC: Babs Gordon

I was correct to assume that Bruce won't be home. Not that I can tell really, by standing out here at the front steps of Wayne Manor watching as the cab that brought me here drives back through the large iron wrought gates and back to the city that is Gotham. The double doors in front of me are enormous and black mahogany. The wind picks up and I shiver in my jacket and shrug up my shoulders to block out the cold. There is no light visible through the windows I notice, as I turn my head to the side to peer through the full length windows.

I half expect the doors in front of me to open up to reveal a smiling Alfred, but then I remember. Expelling a dep sigh, I dig into the pockets of my jacket and my cold fingers wrap around the key.

Use it only when neccesary, Bruce had told me before placing the keys of his father's house into my waiting palm. Well, I think. This is neccesary. And better now than risk sneaking in when he's home.

I open the door and am greeted by vast darkness. The flick of the switch illuminates the gothic foyer of the manor and it strikes me for the first time about how long its been. A slight layer of dust is visibly settled on the maroon red of the carpet. I almost expect a trail of foot prints to be left behind my wake as I walk across towards the all too familiar grand father clock standing against the wall adorned with ornate french paintings.

The house is in serious need of care, I can't help but notice. Does Bruce even get out of the cave these days? The thought makes me feel guilty almost for leaving him behind. And Dick behind in the whirlwind that everything that fallen into at the time of my departure.

But it was neccesary, I tell myself. I had to stand on my own two feet. And for that I had to take a break from Gotham. Go back into the vastness of deserts and re-learn all I'd need...all I'd forgotten ever since I had gotten bound to that wheelchair.

The grand father clock stands before me now, ticking away time by seconds, minutes and hours. I stand for a moment observing the ornate rotating hands of it and each tick suddenly seems so resounding.The sound of each tick mingles furiously with the beating of my heart.And I realize.Its been too long. I've waited...somehwere deep dwon, perhaps even subconciously so...I work on opening the entrance which I had ceased to access until now. I pull back the wood of the clock systematically.

The entrance to the cave opens before me.

The Parasite chuckled as they climbed onto his hulking body and began hitting him, biting him, clawing at him, and any other form of attack that they could dream up.

In one short flash of Rudy's power, all of the raging men within ten feet of the Parasite were reduced to ashen skeletons.

"Bring it on!"

"you want it big guy, you got it!" shouted a cold robotic voce,suddenly as if from onewhere a massive crimson blast hit Parasite.

The dust settled. Parasite remained. Undamaged and fueled with rage.

Out of the near shadows a figure appeared. Parasite roared.

"good..." replied The Red X walking slowly towards him. X appeared in the light and pulled serveral x shaped blades from his belt



"because i'm just getting started" continued x and launch the shape blades at Parasite

 

[SuperFerret]

As Kara's ears pick up the announcement over the radio waves, she lifts her head.

Kal. I have to stop Kal before he hurts anyone else.


She dropped the fragment of cape she still held in her hands and let it float to the ground to remind the world that there were still heroes to fight for that symbol. A flash of pink light disappeared to the south, leaving a sonic boom in its wake, as Kara didn't waste time getting to Gotham.

"Kal. Stop. Before I make you stop. You've destroyed enough lives, and ruined the dreams and aspirations of the millions who look up to you. You've made Bruce's failsafes against our kind seem neccesary. I'm asking you one more time to please, end this. End it for your parents, how do you think Ma feels about all this? Do you think Pa's proud of what you're doing?"

She stared down the elder Kryptonian with fire in her eyes, she was ready to explode at him if he didn't snap out of it, and honestly, she didn't think this lecture would help...

Kal-El just stares down at the ranting woman with mild disinterest.

"You are beneath my notice. Leave here or be destroyed."

 

[Supergirl]

"So be it Kal. This will probably hurt me more than it will hurt you, but I'm still a hero." She flew at him in a blur and threw a punch at him that would cave in a mountain. The punch echoed for miles.

 

[Sentry2005]

The field i'm projecting suddenly wavers.

Some kind of 'boom' noise just hit me.

It distracted me long enough to let my sheild down.

A bullet flies through the tinyest hole in the shielf and hits me square in the leg.

"ARGH!!" I scream, the pain soaring through my body.

It's been a while since i've been hurt.

I fall, I lose concentration and head into the sea, falling for what seems like an eternity.

As I hit the ocean, a mighty splash erupts.

As I float in the ocean, blood dripping from my leg.

The sea turns red, and all I can think of is how much of a wuss this makes me...

 

[rex26]

"you want it big guy, you got it!" shouted a cold robotic voce,suddenly as if from onewhere a massive crimson blast hit Parasite.

The dust settled. Parasite remained. Undamaged and fueled with rage.

Out of the near shadows a figure appeared. "Perfectic!" roared Parasite.

"good..." replied The Red X walking slowly towards him. X appeared in the light and pulled serveral x shaped blades from his belt



"because i'm just getting started" continued x and launch the shape blades at Parasite

Slade saw the new comer coming and quickly jumped in front of Parasite, taking all the projectiles in his back. He slowly turned around to face this no name and one by one picked the X's out of his back and let them drop to the ground. He took in his opponent's stature, small, but most likely quick, and red X's covered his costume. He laughed outloud and mocked the kid.

"Ha, Let me guess....your name is...the Red X? Well, round here, they call me Deathstroke the Terminator, you ready to find out why I earned that name?"

He motioned over to Rudy and pulled out his sword.

"I got this little punk."

Deathstroke moved quickly, smashing the butt end of his blade into the back of the Red X's skull before he could even react. He pointed his blade down to Red X's throat. Slade mocked this kid's worthless attempt to save the day, he was in way over his head.

"Run along little fellow, this is where the big boys are playing."

 

[SuperFerret]

"So be it Kal. This will probably hurt me more than it will hurt you, but I'm still a hero." She flew at him in a blur and threw a punch at him that would cave in a mountain. The punch echoed for miles.

Kal-El was knocked back a few feet by the thunderous blow. His face contorted into an angry grimace.

The punch he threw in retaliation was nearly double the force of the one he received.

 

[Supergirl]

And I thought Black Adam hits hard. Thats gonna leave a mark. As she sailed over the bay, she saw Guy laying in the water.

She corrected her flight and flew back at "Superman" as fast as she could, her right eye already swollen and her right cheekbone fractured, she ignored the pain to grab Kal around the waste and fly straight up with him.

"We're taking this where you can't hurt anyone else."

 

[SuperFerret]

Kal-El kicked out at Supergirl, knocking her away from him, and halting their ascent.

Then Kal-El's eyes burned and Supergirl was suddenly under assault from twin beams of superheated light.

 

[Sentry2005]

As I somehow head for the shore, I can see Supergirl and Superman over head.

The chicks taking the big guy out of reach.

Smart move.

Pitty, I wanted to give the big guy a few choice words of my own. And by words, I mean fists.

I use my ring. I create a small one man sub around myself, propelling me along faster than I can hope to swim, and head for the harbour.

Need to regroup, and get rid of this bullet thats lodged in my leg.

As I look behind me, Sinestro has still got his field up.

Give one thing to the traitor, he's got balls.

And I respect balls.

 

[Supergirl]

Kal-El kicked out at Supergirl, knocking her away from him, and halting their ascent.

Then Kal-El's eyes burned and Supergirl was suddenly under assault from twin beams of superheated light.

As the heat vision burned holes in her shirt and stomach, she winced, but unleashed her own blast of heat vision. The tears welling in her eyes from both pain and betrayal boiled as the red beams lanced towards her cousin.

With no hesitation, or regard for her own well being she threw herself back at him. I can't let him hurt anyone else. If I die, I die, but I will NOT let him hurt anymore innocent bystanders. She hit him at Mach One, unleashing yet another echous boom.

 

[Sentry2005]

I pull myself out of the water and onto the pier.

My leg is bleeding.

Badly.

I need a doctor.

I use the ring again, this time a familiar face from the 60's appears before me.

Dr. McCoy.

Ok, he was never this green, but I imagine the universe's best doctor, and a green hardlight version of him appears before me.

"Dammit Guy, I'm a doctor, not a triage unit!" He mouths off.

It's one of the few reasons I ever watched that old nerd show. The doctor was a man's man.

"Shut it Doc!" I snarl back at him, "Just get the damn bullet out of my leg and patch me up!"

The image goes to work and starts on my leg.

Hurts like hell, but then thats one of the reasons i'm the best lantern in the universe.

I got brains, brawn and courage!

 

[SuperFerret]

As the heat vision burned holes in her shirt and stomach, she winced, but unleashed her own blast of heat vision. The tears welling in her eyes from both pain and betrayal boiled as the red beams lanced towards her cousin.

This Supergirl seems to have decided to not hold anything back in this fight, Kal-El thinks, then I shall no longer do the same.

Kal-El unloaded a flurry of blows all over his smaller opponent, moving so fast that he was nothing but a black and white blur, and each attack was devastating enough to level mountains.

I doubt very much that she will survive this.

 

[Red]

Slade saw the new comer coming and quickly jumped in front of Parasite, taking all the projectiles in his back. He slowly turned around to face this no name and one by one picked the X's out of his back and let them drop to the ground.

"Run along little fellow, this is where the big boys are playing."

"then why are you here?" repiled X jokenly. He garbed the swords blade from below his throat and twisted it from Deathstrokes hand, then punched him away.

"now the introductions are out of the way, lets do this"

 

[Supergirl]

As her invulnerable body became bruised and lacerated, and her costume torn, Kara stared into the soulless eyes of her kin.

Dark devotion in a vacant paradise

I can barely see. It's getting hard to breathe. It hurts to move. But I can't give up. He may not care about me anymore, but I care too much about him to let him do this. I can't let him continue this.

Shows no emotion to a willing sacrifice

She turned her head to let a blow from the Kryptonian's fist glance off her ear, as she started unleashing her own barrage of fists to his face. The first punch caved in his nose, the rest added pain to that injury. At least he won't get out of this unscathed.

 

[Sentry2005]

I look at my jacket. It's ruined.

As the Doc finnishes up on my leg, I take off my jacket and throw it into the sea.

The Doc disapears back into my ring, and I burn the lantern image into my otherwise black jumpsuit.

My leg still hurts to stand on, so i'm gonna have to hover for a while.

My hair is leaking wet from my little swim. I almost look like Kyle when my hair is wet back like this.

I look into the reflective hull of one of the ships in the harbour, and point the ring at my hair.

I create a hair dryer and a pair of scissors.

I give myself a bit of a trim while i'm drying my hair.

A hero's gotta look his best when he's about to save the day!
