The "World Of Heroes" DC RPG Season V

[MST3K 4ever]

Inside the situation room Luthor has been on the video-confrence with several world leaders showing them the evidence he has. Though they agree a response must be given they are begging him to reconsider the Nuke Option.

Secretary of State Welmen says, "Sir looking glass is away with all passengers present and accounted for."

Luthor nods slowly and says, "Very well."

He takes a deep breath and says, "I know that many of you are not in favor of this option, however we have reached a put up or shut up moment in our history and I prefer to let my actions speak for me."

He looks at his watch and says to the Secretary of Defense, "Capt. Halloway is ready to launch and the Kaznians haven't contacted us." He closes his eyes and says, "Then let's do this. Get me Capt. Halloway."

A voice on the other end says, "Mr. President this is Capt. James Halloway of the USS Dallas awaiting your orders sir."

Luthor says, "Very well Capt." He opens his eyes and grits his teeth as he says, "The launch order is given authorization 1846 Delta Bravo."

Halloway says, "Confirmed sir...missle away."

Luthor stares into space

Soon...soon my dear we will be together again, and the society of the Apocolypse will have their prophecy come to pass.

On the chaotic streets of Gotham, Gordon had assembled his forces for an impromptu meeting.

"Okay, listen up. Wayne Biotech is dispatching its entire stockpile of anti-toxin to Crane's Fear Gas. As soon as we get our hands on it, we have to distribute it throughout the city, get this mess under control before anyone else gets killed."

With the passage of time - and the anti-toxin to speed up the process - the effects of the Fear Gas would pass. The GCPD just had to break up any riots or dangerous situations until morning came. But there was a whole lot of blood, pain and terror between now and sunrise.

"It's gonna be a long night."

"Jay. Jay, you there?"

I click my communicator. "I hear you Ted. How's it going?" I hear crashes and screams over the comm line.

"It's a nightmare out here. We could really use your help."

"Where do you need me?"

"Word has it the GCPD is getting a ton of anti-toxin from Wayne Biotech. The problem is going to be-"

"-mass distribution before the city tears itself apart. I'm on it. Who's leading the operation?"

"Commissioner Gordon."

"Gordon's the commissioner?"

"Yeah Jay. Where have you be-Never mind. Sorry."

"It's ok. I'll head over to police headquarters as soon as I find someone to watch over-"

"I'll take over, Jay."

I turn as Mid-Nite walks into the room. "I'll be there in a few seconds, Ted." I switch off my communicator. "How'd you get here so fast, Pieter?"

"I never left Jay. All I needed was a break and some food. You really think I'd leave Dinah in this condition?"

I smile. "Never." I point to Robin's table. "I'll need you to watch over him to. The doctor's say he's stable, but-"

"I'll protect his identity. And I'll call for his pictures just in case I'll need to operate on him."

I put a hand on his shoulder. "Thanks, Pieter." I dash off.

"You're welcome, Jay." Mid-Nite says long after I'm gone.

With a new tank of oxygen on my back, I phase out of the hospital. In few seconds I'm at the GCPD. One of the officers gives me Gordon's position. In a few more seconds I'm there with a large contingent of police officers.

"Commissioner Gordon. Could you use a hand?"

 

[Green Lantern]

I look up from the mud, I hear a small snap of a twig that announces his presence.

"Well, Roy I guess this is your lucky day."

A small, bald headed asian man steps out the underbrush with a small katana in his hand.

"This is the man known only as Natas. One of the deadliest killers in the world. It's been claimed he taught Deathstroke everything he knows about combat and tactics."

Natas unsheates his blade and stares at us with cold disdain.

"I hired him to kill us."

As Roy scrambles, and dives into the underbrush, he screams something at Ollie. Most of which is not suitable for his own daughter's ears, lucky that she wasn't there.

"&%#* Mother %$#@er. OLLIE! &^*$ Are you %$#@ing trying to #*#&ing get us killed? Christ!"

Roy breaks a dead sprint for safer ground.

 

[batnkevlar]

"Still in trouble after spilling my guts out? Wow, I am in the doghouse....Oh, and Kara...I do have something to say..."

She turns around and looks at me, a puzzled look on her face.

"Race ya back to the Tower! Last one there is a rotten egg!"

I stick out my tounge and smile, dissapearing as I zip over the water.

"Why you little!"

Kara gives chase as we race over the Pacific ocean, for a moment, we forget all about the world and everyone in it.

A streak of blue accompanies the two lovebirds as they race back to the Tower.

"Aww, isn't that cute?"

 

[Byrd Man]

As Roy scrambles, and dives into the underbrush, he screams something at Ollie. Most of which is not suitable for his own daughter's ears, lucky that she wasn't there.

"&%#* Mother %$#@er. OLLIE! &^*$ Are you %$#@ing trying to #*#&ing get us killed? Christ!"

Roy breaks a dead sprint for safer ground.

The grin on my face can't be any wider as I run right behind Roy. I look back and see Natas giving chase. I fire a glue arrow his way, there's no way it's stopping this guy for good. I bought us a half minute at best.

"What's wrong, Roy? You afraid? Just trust me on this."

"**** you, Ollie!"

Roy leaps over a log as we run through the jungle, heading southward towards the center of the island.

"I planned it out. We made a deal and the cost of it burnt me another *******. This is our intiation, if we survive long enough and mangage to kick his ass he'll do a favor for us...teach us everything he knows. You heard the old saying 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'? Well, word is him and Deathstroke had a falling out..."

The ground starts to turn soggy as we start to approach the island's marshlands.

"Just trust Papa Ollie on this one. I got it covered.....oh, watch yourself around here. There's some nasty quicksand in these swamps."

We both slow down, Roy's breathing heavy while I'm down right panting.

"Need to cut down on those cheeseburgers, fatty..."

I look behind me, from what I can tell...we left Natas in the dust.

"Alright. I think we have a few minutes on him. Now comes the part where we split up and kick his ass. What side of the island do you want? East or west?"

 

[Spike_x1]

Each punch was like thunder clapping in the middle of the street. People nearby were covering their ears and wincing as even they felt the force of the blows.

Dammit, I gotta take this yahoo down hard and fast! With the stone fueling the kid, the two opponents should've been on nearly equal footing, but luckily the Atomic Skull had the advantage of experience.

As Blackrock threw all of his weight into a wide left hook, Joe stepped inside the arc of the punch and elbowed the young pup in the face. "Heh." Extensive combat training during his employ at LexCorp definitely helped as well. Following up with a massive uppercut, the Skull sent Blackrock reeling head over heels for the rooftops. Can't let the little jackass get away, he thought as he watched the pathetic rainbow arc of Blackrock careening through the air. Besides, I still got a few questions for the kid.

**********​

On a rooftop a block away, Sam Benjamin, the newest wielder of the black rock, hit the shingles and rolled to a stop. "Ugh," he groaned as he braced himself against a brick chimney and got to his feet. "Anyone get the number of the truck that hit me?" he asked no one in particular. Then the sound of boots touching down onto the roof made him look up to see the flaming features of the Atomic Skull once again.

"Now," Joe began with only the smallest hint of frustration in his voice, "are you ready to tell me where you got that stone, kid? 'Cause frankly, I don't think that you wandered all the way out into the wasteland that was once Suicide Slums on a whim and just so happened to come across that little relic." As he walked closer to Blackrock, Joe could see the panic beginning to build in Sam's eyes. "No, I think that you got it from someone else."

"Stay back, freakshow!" shouted Blackrock in fearful rage.

Ignoring him, the Skull walked closer. "So what? Did you steal it? Did you buy it from some supervillain weapons dealer or something?"

Blackrock's eye was twitching. He'd been pushed too far. "I said," his hands glowed with an intense aura as he charged up and began focusing his energy into one stream, "STAY BACK!!"

If his face were visable, one would've seen Joe's eyes widen in surprise once more as he instinctively met Blackrock's blast with an energy beam of his own. I'm beginning to hate this kid.

The heat from the combined forces of the two blasts were setting fire to the roof that the Atomic Skull and Blackrock were standing on. The shingles were melting and the brick chimney was turning white hot. I've got the experience over this punk, but just straight-out blasting each other isn't something where experience comes in too handy. Impossible to see with the naked eye, Joe Martin was sweating underneath his mane of radioactive fire. The sound of his sweat sizzling away and instantly evaporating, along with the noise of the dual streams of energy coursing through the air masked the sound of the buzzing whine of anti-gravity pads floating downwards behind the Skull.

"Martin." A large and heavy finger tapped Joe on the shoulder.

Turning his head and attention away from Blackrock to look at the newcomer, the Atomic Skull was struck full force in the chest by his opponent's concentrated energy blast. "GAAAHH!!" Joe wasn't flung backwards as he expected to be. Instead, he was caught instantly in the palm of a hand the size of a car engine. Instinctively rolling away from the hand's grip, the Skull got to his feet on the roof and looked up at the new arrival.

"Metallo?" As he looked into John Corben's cybernetic eyes, Martin could feel his power quickly diminishing. "What the he-- NYAAH!!" Before he even knew what had hit him, the Atomic Skull was on his knees from being hit from behind by a blast from Blackrock. His flames and power dying away, Joe felt a sharp pain as Metallo reached down and pulled him up by his hair. He watched Corben cock his fist back and then shoot it forward at lightning speed right before Joe blacked out.

"Say g'night, Gracy."

 

[In2Minds]

"Shut your face kid!" Clayface shouts. He lashes out an arm at me. It hardens and forms into a spike. But by the time it passes through me and Robin, we're already gone.

"Hey!" I shout. Clayface turns around. I stand with one foot on a fire hydrant and Robin in my arms. "You already know how fast I am. Let's see how fast you are."


"NO!!!" I kick the hydrant plug at superspeed and it spins off. Clayface tries to leap up towards a building, but the jet water explodes out, blasting his lower body. "Dammed speedster!" It smashes against the wall of a building as his upper body falls into the stream. It too is slammed against the wall. For a moment, Clayface's body seem to reform and he tries to stand. But he falls back down and dissolve into nothing. Brown streams of water flow into the storm drains.

I put Robin down and speed myself up. The water stops moving. I grab the plug and force it back into place. Before the water even has a chance of shooting out sideways when it's blocked, I've already screwed the plug back in and have Robin in my arms once more.

I spare a glance at the gauge on my tank. It's almost depleted. Running at superspeed tends to burn a lot of oxygen. But I'm at the hospital with air to spare before Robin even has a chance to breath any gas in.

When I phase back through the front doors, the hospital staff are in a state of organized chaos. "A little help here!" A couple of the staff rush over with a gurney. I set Robin on it.

"Let's get him to exam 3. We'll have to get this costume off." I phase Robin's belt off of him, knowing that some of the gadgets in there could hurt someone who can't avoid them at superspeed. Someone reachs for his face, but I grab his hand. "The mask stays on. Just stabilize him. I'll make sure his friends get here to help him."

A few minutes later and they've got Robin's arm in an air-splint and have him resting comfortably. A quick x-ray shows some cracked ribs and separated shoulder. I stay with him the whole time. I know he'll get good care, but not without possibly compromising his identity.

While the doctors and nurses work on him, I find Robin's Titans communicator. I activate it. "All Titans, this is Flash in Gotham. Robin's been injured. I got him to Gotham City Hospital, but he'll need medical care from someone who can protect his identity. I'll call in Dr. Mid-Nite until one of you can arrive. Flash out."

With that done, I turn my JSA communicator on. "Flash to Mid-Nite. I need you back at Gotham City Hospital. Robin's been injured. And bring a gas mask."

Since they can't work on him, the doctors move Robin into intensive care with Dinah. That way, if they can't keep him stable, they can treat him quickly. In the room, I stand next to Robin until his doctor leaves. Only a nurse remains behind to check his vitals and IV's. I look over at Dinah who still sleeps, blissfully unaware of what is going on.

When the nurse leaves the room, I lay Robin's belt next to him and put my JSA communicator away. Then I tap the communicator in my ear. "Oracle. It's Flash. Robin's been hurt by Clayface. I've got him here with Dinah and called Mid-Nite back to check on him. I took care of Clayface and contacted the Titans as well. You might want to tell Batman."

Tim was out cold on the outside but inside his mind was plagued by nightmares....Visions of The Red Hood slaughtering millions of innocent people laughing and shouting with glee as all his foes, Tim's friends were snuffed out like candle flames.

Batman, Nightwing, Orcale, Jim Gordon all the Titans, The justice League, all dead all staring up at him faces wide eyed in horror and stained with hot blood.

Then suddenly The Hood ran, and Tim gave chase, running through all the places the hood had visited on his crime sprees, The fun house, Wayne Maynor, The Titans Tower....The Tower something drew them both to it, The Hood entered the building and clambered frantically up the stairs to the roof, what he didn't count on was Robin glaring at him when he stepped out into the open, Robin's eyes were narrowed, his cape spread in homage to his mentor, he punched Red Hood hard in the gut and yelled "WHO ARE YOU!?!". The Hood didn't answer, he remained silent and wraith like defying Robin's Hero status.

Without another word Robin tore the mask angrily from the Hood's head, he expected to see Jason Todd behind the mask but it wasn't Behind the Crimson mask was...Tim Drake....

A thunder crack was heard, then Tim awoke a gasp, cold sweat running down his face.

 

[MST3K 4ever]

Someone walks by Luthor as he sits stoicly and says, "30 seconds to air Mr. President."

He nods as he glances down at his papers and then the red light goes on.

Luthor looks up and says, "Good evening my fellow Americans. This evening I informed the world that the Nuclear option was a viable option. Less than an hour ago that option was carried out the Country of Kaznia. As a result of continuing assisting the Black-Thorn terrorist cell and bombing our Embassy in Italy this morning. We did what we had to do and we take no pleasure or atittude of superiority for our actions. However let this be a warning to all other nations that would seek to do us harm. We will defend and retaliate if attacked. We are a nation of peace but if provoked we will respond with great vengence."

Luthor takes a deep breath and says, "To those who lost loved ones in Italy we express our condolences, and to those who suffered loss in Kaznia our fight is not with you but with those who misled down this path of destruction. To the American People I wish there was another way to avoid what may come of this, and for that I ask God forgive me, however we did not start this fight however we will finish it. Thank you and God bless the United States of America."
Once the speech is over Lex exits to his quarters and begins to fall asleep. He then is back in paradise with, "Lena..."

 

[Byrd Man]

A streak of blue accompanies the two lovebirds as they race back to the Tower.

"Aww, isn't that cute?"

"Why don't you butt out, nosy?"

Kara arches her eyebrow at me and Jenni.

"Umm...she's my cousin or something...she's from the future. Kind of a long story, but anyway...Jenni Ognats, meet Kara Zor-El...."

Before they even speak a word, my communicator goes off..

All Titans, this is Flash in Gotham. Robin's been injured. I got him to Gotham City Hospital, but he'll need medical care from someone who can protect his identity. I'll call in Dr. Mid-Nite until one of you can arrive. Flash out."

Jay? What the heck is he doing in Gotham?

"Wasn't that Jay Garrick?"

"Yeah. Sounds like Tim's hurt. I don't know about you two ladies, but I'm heading to Gotham. Care to come with?"

"What the hell? I got nothing better to do...There's no way I'm missing out on this."

We both look at Kara.

"Supergirl?"

"Say yes. I want to see you and Bart in action. Let me see how accurate the history books are...."

"What does that mean?"

Jenni flashes a sneaky smile.

"Ohhh, nothing. How about you two find out on your own?"

 

[Keyser Soze]

"Jay. Jay, you there?"

I click my communicator. "I hear you Ted. How's it going?" I hear crashes and screams over the comm line.

"It's a nightmare out here. We could really use your help."

"Commissioner Gordon. Could you use a hand?"

Gordon looked up in the direction the voice came from. Jay Garrick, the original Flash.

"You're a bit out of your usual stomping grounds, aren't you?"

A wry smile formed on the Commissioner's face.

"Truth is. We need all the help we can get. I assume you know the situation with Crane. Wayne Biotech has just delivered these stocks of anti-toxin. We need to get it to the worst-affected areas. The East End, Chinatown, Gotham Village. There's been exposure city-wide, but the effects wear off with time. We need to be smart about where we distribute our reserves of anti-toxin. Get it to the places where the people don't have time on their side."

Gordon approached Garrick, grateful that the elder hero was devoting some time to helping Gotham in its time of need.

"We need to be smart...and fast."

 

[MaskedManJRK]

​

There is an epidemic in Gotham City.

At first I thought it was isolated--Scarecrow was with Joker during the "Venom Harness" incident, he might have had him watching--but when I found not even a single blade of straw and as I ran through the roof-tops, I realized he's put them through out the city.

This needs to be taken care of, and fast.

I get on my communicator and put it on all my regular channels, everything short of the JLA waveband.

"This is Batman. Everyone in Gotham, report your status."​

 

[wiegeabo]

Gordon looked up in the direction the voice came from. Jay Garrick, the original Flash.

"You're a bit out of your usual stomping grounds, aren't you?"

A wry smile formed on the Commissioner's face.

"Truth is. We need all the help we can get. I assume you know the situation with Crane. Wayne Biotech has just delivered these stocks of anti-toxin. We need to get it to the worst-affected areas.

Get it to the places where the people don't have time on their side."

Gordon approached Garrick, grateful that the elder hero was devoting some time to helping Gotham in its time of need.

"We need to be smart...and fast."

I smile. "That's what I do." Gordon shows me the boxes stored in a large truck. Looks to be about a thousand boxes. I open one up. A hundred injections per box.

"This shouldn't take long."

For the next few minutes, all the police see is a nearly constant red streak, and the disappearance of box after box. It might only be 100,000 injections, but it still takes me some time to clear remaining gas from a block, find people, and give them a shot. And each time I'm rewarded with the look of relief on their faces as they pass out.

After a couple of minutes I give Gordon an update. "That's the East End." But that's all I stop to say. I keep running. A few minutes later and I have to stop as I use up the rest of the oxygen in my tank. I take a few breaths of relatively fresh air. "I need an oxygen mask."

"Sir," one of the SWAT team says as he hands me one.

"Thanks." I turn to Gordon. "I've got most of Chinatown covered. I'll hit the Village next." I look into the back of the truck. Only a couple of hundred boxes left. It should be enough. But this city is populated by millions more. "I hope there are more trucks on the way."

My communicator flickers to life.

I get on my communicator and put it on all my regular channels, everything short of the JLA waveband.

"This is Batman. Everyone in Gotham, report your status."[/left]

"Batman," I say. Gordon overhears me. "Thank god."

I click my communicator on. "Batman, this is Flash. We're in bad shape. Pretty much the whole city was hit by this gas attack. Oracle's team is hunting down Joker, Scarecrow, and Two-Face. I haven't heard from them in a while. I had to take Robin to Gotham City Hospital after a run-in with Clayface. Mid-Nite's looking after him and Canary now. And I'm with Comissioner Gordon helping give people the anti-toxin from Wayne Biotech. But we're almost out, and I've got a few million more people who need it."

"What's your position?"

 

[In2Minds]

"Why don't you butt out, nosy?"

Jenni flashes a sneaky smile.

"Ohhh, nothing. How about you two find out on your own?"

Tim looked around and was shocked to find he was in a hospital bed, then he remembered....Clayface....He lay back his mind still dwelling on the nightmare and his past....he needed to talk with the Titans....and Bruce.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Triton grips his father's trident, and electrical energy begins to surge from within him. He raises the hand wielding the trident up into the air, and suddenly, a large bolt of lightning, almost unimaginable, strikes the ocean. As a result, great waves expand outward away from the ripples created by the lightning strike, at great speeds. The waves eventually reach Orin and the others, knocking them back, and causing Diana to fall into the ocean.

"What...what was that? A storm maybe?"

"Couldn't have been. The sky was just clear a second ago. And even so, a storm like that wouldn't have happened so suddenly."

"Yes, we would have seen it coming sooner. It would have to start off small and then--OOOOFFFFF!!"

All too quickly, something knocks Orin down into the depths of the sea. Descending further and further, all he can see is a bright light, as a hand grips his throat as they continue to fall to the crushing depths. Then, he hears the unknown figure utter a few words as he lets go of Orin's throat, and geysers seem to burst from the ocean floor with scorching temperatures, engulfing Orin.

Even for him, the heat is too much to bare. He quickly reacts, spinning rapidly in place in the water, creating a small vortex which causes the steaming water around him to seperate away and vanish. As the bubbles begin to clear, Orin finally sees his enemy.

"Triton."

"That's all you have to say? No life threatening banter? Have I caused the great Sea King to be struck speechless? Unable to say a thing?"

Garth finally dives down deeper in the water, with Diana following him. He tells her to remain above the surface, but then she pulls out an underwater JLA mask, knowing it would come in handy considering who she was helping, and puts it on. Garth nods, and they begin to descend deeper into the water. They finally spot the two, staring at eachother, and swim to Orin's side.


"On behalf of me, and all the citizens of the sea, I am glad to say that you are in for one hell of a beating, Triton."

"Your reign of terror in the oceans will cease. You had your fun setting up the chessboard, moving your pawns around...but now it shall all end."

There are no words; not from Orin. Triton's smile widens as Orin continues to look back at him, his expression never changing.

"Ah, that look. Oh yes. I remember that look."

Triton raises both of his arms, holding onto his father's trident, as he continues to look over at Orin. As Orin realiezes what is about to happen, his body quickly shifts into a forward motion to strike. His mystical left hand, fingers clenched into a fist, and frozen as a glacier, Orin charges. But he is too late. Not even his great speed could stop Triton. For just as he is about to make contact, again, even underwater, a large bolt of energy strikes down before him, hitting Triton. The bubbles and smoke begin to clear away as the tide begins to change, and Orin sees Triton still with his hands raised up; but he no longer looks over at Orin for his eyes are fixated upward.

Fully empowered and charged, raging with strength from his father's trident, Triton floats with nothing but a smile upon his face. His eyes remain locked on the trident, which continues to fuel him with such vast and raw power.

"Prepare to face the power of a true g--AARGGH!"

Before Triton can finish, Orin already dives forward at him, knocking him back. The skies above them begin to thunder, and the water turns violent as the two clash against eachother. The battle has begun. And what is normally known to be the weakest chess piece--the King--has made his move.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I smile. "That's what I do." Gordon shows me the boxes stored in a large truck. Looks to be about a thousand boxes. I open one up. A hundred injections per box.

"What's your position?"

"Tell Batman we need him here."

Gordon couldn't express how grateful he was to The Flash for all his help. He had achieved in minutes what Gordon and his men had expected to be an all-night job.

"The way I see it, we've got the anti-toxin to the worst affected areas. The effects of Crane's Fear Gas wear off in time, so now it's a waiting game. Mr. Garrick, all your hard work has brought us a good way to getting a handle on this situation. You've cut the fire out of the Fear Gas. Now the rest of the battle is patroling, and peace-keeping. Making sure this city doesn't tear itself apart."

 

[Watchman]

"Joker's running."

"Let him."

Babs tapped ehr fingers on her chair.

"Damn it Bruce, where are you?"


Mia watched as Scarecrows henchmen seemed to be tossed around like ragdolls in an invisible force.

"Dang Gyp, you rock."
Mia saw one make a run for it and she pulled out an arrow, buring it in the ground in front of the man, he paused just long enough for Gypsy to kick him from behind. Shooting an arrow out with a line Mia swooped down, rolling on her landing as she caught sight of Zinda and Beetle doing the same, her arrows drawn she focused on Scarecrow.

Scarecrow was now crawling toward the van some of his men arrived in. The two men holding him up were now unconscious.

"Useless, all of you!" Scarecrow open the back of the van and pull out a gun.

"Do you people know anything about viruses? Sometimes when a cure is introduce the virus could change and adapt making itself stronger and the cure useless." The heroes filled the parking lot illuminated by the lights. "That's what I have to do each time with my toxin." The gun fired off, launching a dart which struck Mia in the leg.

"And now we let the real fun begin." Crane's laughter filled the parking lot.

 

[Karem-Knight]

Gotham City:

Harvey sat down in an alleyway smoking a cigarette, Harvey himself never smoked but Two-Face always did another one of their traits.

Look at it it’s chaos for Christ’s sake!

Just a mere three hours ago The Joker, Scarecrow and Two-Face himself had just robbed a Mall, Harvey himself took off with some of the money, which was now kept in a place he knew he would find it.

So what Harv? You’ve seen worse then this CAUSED more then this.

Harvey looked at his side seeing the rioting of the streets people breaking cars and bones, Fire everywhere even gunshots.

Harvey walked towards it when all of a sudden someone from behind him grabbed him.

“Give me your money freak!” The man saw a ghastly sight of Harvey’s face it was the shock and it’s revolting appearance that made the young man almost ready for a heart attack.

Harvey shrugged the other two off him and got out two guns.

He put one pointing at the man’s head and got his coin out.

“There are some of us who disserve to live or die!” He showed the man the coin.

“I’m the judge, the coin is the jury and I am the executor!”


Harvey cheeked the coin to see it’s scarred face; he shot the man with very little remorse. He turned around to see the other two men bleached with fear.

He flipped the coin twice they were both clean.

“You two were lucky.” He kicked one to the ground and walked away.

Look at this city, Someone HAS to do something someone HAS to take down who did this.

SOMEONE must take out The Joker once and for all!

And that would be you Harvey?

Harvey sighed. He flipped the coin to see what the result would be.

It was clean. He then put it in his pocket.

Just then he saw a little girl being snatched away from a skinny man.

NO!
Harvey ran towards them, with his gun out.

Oooooh Harvey’s getting angry

SHUT UP TWO-FACE!

Harvey ran towards them the mad man was almost cackling as he jumped away towards a curve.

Harvey walked into that curve with his gun out the man made his presence known.

“GIVE the girl back.”

The man seemed surprised.

“Harvey Dent?”

Harvey walked with his gun in his hands. Walking slowly.

“Remember me?”

Harvey could barely see his face in the darkness; The voice became more familiar it was the sound of Harvey’s best friend’s killer Mr. Zsazz.

“Zsazz!”

“Hello Harvey!”

He walked out of the way to show his new face.

“I must say it doesn’t suit me as it does you!”

“GIVE ME THE GUN!”


Zsazz made the girl bleed slightly.

“Sorry Harvey, You make one BAD decision then this little girl’s neck is gone!”

Harvey put his gun down.

“OK Zsazz it’s just me and you……….AND ME!”

NO!

OH yes I’m afraid I can’t let you do this Harvey.

“Yes I’ve read your reports on you and your other half, I must say you make the perfect odd couple!”

“Listen Zsazz please put the girl down, I’m asking you as Harvey Dent former District Attorney.”

“Well that’s even worse because that Harvey Dent was the one who got me trailed when I was heading for the worst my OWN business my FATHER’S business went down hill then with only 1 million left I gambled it all, ALL thanks to YOU! Cause of my involvement with the Falcone family.”

“Soon you became Two-Face I waited and waited to get my revenge on you, Since your wife left I decided hell with that I’ll someone ELSE and then I found out about ol’ Jennifer.”

Two-Face clenched towards the gun


ENOUGH of this.

BANG BANG Two-Face shot Zasssz right in the chest,

Harvey ran towards them,

“Are- are you all right?” He said to the little girl, She nodded.

“Ok.” Harvey dropped the gun, Zsazz would live, And Two-Face was becoming the domaint one of the two but still Harvey had to get this girl to safety.

He then saw a GCPD officer around the corner trying to fight off gangs he ran towards them.

He gave the girl to him as fast as he could and then ran away as fast as he could.

The GCPD officer yelled out the words “TWO-FACE IS OVER THERE GET HIM!” But Harvey kept sprinting, The crowd was to big for them to spot him but he still carried on.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Towers and monuments of the great city, ancient and at the same time strong, tumble as the harsh waves pour into the city. With the citizens fleeing in panic, and more and more of the enemy coming in, Orm finds himself trapped in his own shock.

"It...it broke. It finally broke. All this time Atlantis stood, an inpenetrable fortress and city...and it's breached."

Waves of soldiers, lead by 7 figures, enter the throne room. Each soldier and guard close take a position to remain, some closing the drapes and others locking the doors. The 7 figures approach Orm; the seven leaders of the great Atlantean cities. Lord Terious of Cerdia follows Chancellor Aegous of Basilia as he steps forth, all the while watching Mera to see if she will act. The 7 generals plotted with Mera to overthrow Orm and retake Atlantis; but what Lord Terious doesn't realize is that Mera herself doesn't know what to do. The dome is cracked, and the city is flooded and breached. After he sees that Mera does nothing more than look away and lower her head, he too looks toward Orm as Chancellor Aegous speaks.

"Lord Orm, we have sent word for my men, as well as Lord Terious' men to start up the warships. We await your orders, milord. And I must say...we surely are lucky to have all the armies here at once. We must act swiftly!"

"And we shall."

All look to Mera, and Orm especially. He walks up to her, almost smiling as if to mock her.

"Time of war is not in the hands of the Queen, milady. Such a power is granted to...me."

"You're all too wrong, Orm. When there is no King, all the duties fall upon the Queen."

Orm chuckles, and turns around walking towards his throne. As he does this, little does he know, the 7 generals now stand behind and beside Mera.

"When there is no King? What do you think I am? Who died and made you the new ruler of--"

Orm turns around, his smile vanishing, and he turns once again speechless. All generals give Orm the same look as Mera does. There is something in their eyes that just sparks...revolution. More buildings and towers begin to tremble as more waves of the ocean sweep the city.

Three of the generals slowly begin to close in towards Orm, while four of them remain at Mera's side.

"You! You can't do this! I! AM! KING! You are all MY flock of sheep to order around! NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND! Why, you came to ME for help! ME! YOU--"

All of a sudden, Mera starts to move her hands in an odd motion; odd to Orm's eyes at least. He hears the sound of a great tide moving through the city, and frantically rips down the drapes as they get in his way as he walks backwards towards the balcony; the three generals now pulling out their weapons. The sound of water becomes much more audible, and the generals lower their weapons.

"Oh my g--"

With the twist of Mera's hand, and the flick of her wrist, the water suddenly jumps out to the balcony, bearly seeping into the throne room. Forming a great giant water hand, Mera begins to manipulate the water around Orm to pull him back, back into the center of the city, where war has begun to wage as more and more of the enemy has entered. Before he can utter a threat, he is forcefully knocked skyward by the great water. Mera's hand dropping, she seems to fall down almost with a headache, when one of the generals catch her as she falls. As he orders a soldier to take her to the somewhere more safe, she gives her soldiers one final order.

"Fight. For the glory of Atlantis...you must fight. Our survival depends upon it."

With those words the Queen faints from the strain. As one of the guards quickly begin to move her out of the throne room, Vulko makes sure to follow. As they exit the great doors, he tells the guard to follow him to the palace hospital. While it is true such power Mera wielded upon the water could've caused too much stress on her body, there is another fact that has yet to been revealed; but Vulko knows what. As the guard helps Vulko set her down on the hospital bed, Vulko tells the guard to fetch him a nurse. As the guard exits the doors, Vulko grabs Mera's hand. The touch of his hand slowly causes Mera's eyes to open.

"Is it a boy...or a girl?"

Before Vulko can recieve an answer, her eyes once again slowly close.

ROGUE WAR: The Enemy Revealed ~ Part 6

Gambi looked out across the battlefield as the Rogues were being slaughtered by the Top's team...

The Trickster, who taught him some of the best jokes he knows, is sliced up by Double Down as the New Rogue's magical cards tear into his right arm and side. James Jesse grimaces in pain, and fires back by tossing a pair of chattering teeth at Double Down. The teeth bite into Double Down's neck, bringing the New Rogue to the ground in pain. But, the Trickster's victory is short lived as Girder comes up from behind and grabs him by the head, slamming him into the ground...

Captain Boomerang, who gave him tips on his first date, is sliced open by Murmur. Digger drops his boomerang as he clutches the wound at his stomach, and falls to the ground. Murmur leaps on top of the Captain and headbutts him...

Gambi's breathing is heavy now, his pulse accelerated. Looking down at the Top as he hovers over the unconscious Cold, ready to kill him, Gambi's eyes narrow.

Letting loose a primal scream of anguish, Replicant has had enough.

Reaching down, Replicant grabs the surprised Top by the neck and launches him with all his strength at Murmur, who is about to slice out Digger's tongue. The Top hits the murderer with such force, that both villains are sent sailing into a large oak, snapping it in two at the mid-section of the trunk.

Gambi reaches down and gently scoops up the unconscious forms of Captain Cold and the Mirror Master.

"I'm sorry, guys", Replicant whispers in a sad tone.

As he rises to his feet, Gambi is confronted by Inertia as the speedster blocks his path.

"What the sprock do you think you're doing, Gambi!?"

"I've already lost one family, junior", states Replicant as he transmutes the ground at Inertia's feet into thick tar, "I damn sure ain't gonna lose another."

With a mighty swing, Replicant lays the shocked Inertia out cold.
"Never did like speedsters", he mumbles under his breath.

As Gambi moves towards the unconscious Trickster, a lightning bolt flashes taking down Double Down. Girder charges the injured Weather Wizard, but is cut short as he is encased in a large block of ice.

Weather Wizard turns to regard Replicant, who's outstretched hand is still smoking from the cold blast generated from it.

"Thanks for the save, Gambi", smiled Mardon as he fought back the pain, "was wondering when you'd come to your senses."

"Oi, so was I", grunted Digger as he hobbled over to the group, one arm still tightly clutching his badly bleeding stomach.

"We need an exit, an' fast", commented Digger as he fell to one knee, moaning in pain.
Mardon ran over to Boomerang, putting his arm around his shoulder and helping him back to his feet.

"You've got the powers of McCulloch's weapons, Gambi. Give us an exit."

"You got it, Mardon", said Gambi as he moved to the block of ice Girder was frozen in.
Opening a portal in it, Gambi called out, "Hurry, they'll be back on us any second!"

"Right, go an' grab James, Mardon. I can take care of me self", said Digger as he walked through the portal.

As Captain Boomerang disappeared into the mirror dimension, Mardon quickly ran a scooped up the Trickster.

"Unnggh...Jesus, Jesse...how much do you freakin' way?"

Within moment, the injured Weather Wizard and the knocked out Trickster were safely away. Before entering the portal, Replicant looked back to see the Top glaring angrily at him. They locked eyes for a split second, and the Gambi was gone...


Heatwave slowly shambles over to stand beside and behind an irate Roscoe Dillon.

"What now?"

The Top is silent for a moment as he contemplates the question.

"Enough. I have had enough", he states with a scowl.
"Enough of these games, and enough of this back and forth nonsense. It's time to stop playing with these cretins."

"So, what's the plan?"

Dillon sighed and nodded his head in acceptance.
"Gather the forces and get them ready. It's time for the end game."

 

[Green Lantern]

The grin on my face can't be any wider as I run right behind Roy. I look back and see Natas giving chase. I fire a glue arrow his way, there's no way it's stopping this guy for good. I bought us a half minute at best.

"What's wrong, Roy? You afraid? Just trust me on this."

"**** you, Ollie!"

Roy leaps over a log as we run through the jungle, heading southward towards the center of the island.

"I planned it out. We made a deal and the cost of it burnt me another *******. This is our intiation, if we survive long enough and mangage to kick his ass he'll do a favor for us...teach us everything he knows. You heard the old saying 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'? Well, word is him and Deathstroke had a falling out..."

The ground starts to turn soggy as we start to approach the island's marshlands.

"Just trust Papa Ollie on this one. I got it covered.....oh, watch yourself around here. There's some nasty quicksand in these swamps."

We both slow down, Roy's breathing heavy while I'm down right panting.

"Need to cut down on those cheeseburgers, fatty..."

I look behind me, from what I can tell...we left Natas in the dust.

"Alright. I think we have a few minutes on him. Now comes the part where we split up and kick his ass. What side of the island do you want? East or west?"

"Hold on. I got a plan. What am I good at?"

"Aside from being loud and obnoxious?"

"Nope, thats exactly what I meant. I'm thinking... I'll barrel my way through the island, leave a blatant path for Natty to follow, make it so FREAKING obvious that he can't miss it. Maybe even taunt him along the way. You, take off, in the treetops, other direction for a bit. Then you double back, save my ass and incapacitate the guy. Got it?"

 

[Supergirl]

"Why don't you butt out, nosy?"

Kara arches her eyebrow at me and Jenni.

"Umm...she's my cousin or something...she's from the future. Kind of a long story, but anyway...Jenni Ognats, meet Kara Zor-El...."

Before they even speak a word, my communicator goes off..

All Titans, this is Flash in Gotham. Robin's been injured. I got him to Gotham City Hospital, but he'll need medical care from someone who can protect his identity. I'll call in Dr. Mid-Nite until one of you can arrive. Flash out."

Jay? What the heck is he doing in Gotham?

"Wasn't that Jay Garrick?"

"Yeah. Sounds like Tim's hurt. I don't know about you two ladies, but I'm heading to Gotham. Care to come with?"

"What the hell? I got nothing better to do...There's no way I'm missing out on this."

We both look at Kara.

"Supergirl?"

"Say yes. I want to see you and Bart in action. Let me see how accurate the history books are...."

"What does that mean?"

Jenni flashes a sneaky smile.

"Ohhh, nothing. How about you two find out on your own?"

As Kara speeds up, so does Bart, with both of them getting out of earshot of Jenni.

"Little hyperactive and obnoxious, ain't she? Reminds me of someone else I know from the 30th Century."

With that Kara stuck out her tongue and blew a raspberry at Bart, speeding up to outdistance him, leaving a trail of pink and light blue above him.

 

[Byrd Man]

"Hold on. I got a plan. What am I good at?"

"Aside from being loud and obnoxious?"

"Nope, thats exactly what I meant. I'm thinking... I'll barrel my way through the island, leave a blatant path for Natty to follow, make it so FREAKING obvious that he can't miss it. Maybe even taunt him along the way. You, take off, in the treetops, other direction for a bit. Then you double back, save my ass and incapacitate the guy. Got it?"

"Sounds good, I'll be watching. Just be careful, I spent a little over a year on this island. If you need food, eat the red berries not the green ones and while it may hurt at first, your ass gets use to using bannana leaves as TP."

I break out a small smile with the last little tip.

"Alright, be careful. I know you have the moves and you've been trained by the best, but this guy is good. I mean G-O-O-D good. Don't let your guard down for even a second."

I look around and pick a route, I head through the thick underbrush and look back as Roy becomes smaller and smaller.

 

[Green Lantern]

I look around and pick a route, I head through the thick underbrush and look back as Roy becomes smaller and smaller.

"Christ Ollie, how long do you think its gonna take for me to annoy the piss outta the guy and get him chasing me? Its my natural talent, remember? Pretty sure I could get Budha to tell me to piss off."

Roy started running, yelling wildly as he did. As an arrow, probably tipped with poison flew past his ear he leaped off a fallen log. Taking a page out of his best friend's play book he grabbed the limb of a large dead tree that was hanging in front of him. He spun on the branch twice and launched himself upwards, above the tops of the trees. He quickly pulled out his bow and used it to stop his fall near the top of one of the trees. Safely out of sight of the assassin, Roy yelled loudly into the forest.

"HEY BALDY! YEAH, YOU. YOU SHORT LITTLE ASIAN BASTARD. HOW'S IT FEEL THAT YOUR STAR PUPIL WAS BEATEN CONSISTENTLY BY A GROUP OF TEENAGERS?"

That oughta piss him off. Gotta thank Dick for the acrobatics and gymnastics training.

 

[Byrd Man]

I haul ass to get to the middle of the island and double back behind Natas and Roy.

"Christ Ollie, how long do you think its gonna take for me to annoy the piss outta the guy and get him chasing me? Its my natural talent, remember? Pretty sure I could get Budha to tell me to piss off."

Roy started running, yelling wildly as he did. As an arrow, probably tipped with poison flew past his ear he leaped off a fallen log.

That oughta piss him off. Gotta thank Dick for the acrobatics and gymnastics training.

I'm hiding in a tree when Roy starts his taunts. I hold my breath and watch as Natas walks by. He has a smile on his face as he strings another arrow on his bow.

"Heh, foolish child...this will only make your defeat that much bitter. You would do well not to insult your betters."

I do my best to stay silent, as I pull out a regular arrow and string it. I don't draw it tight, but I get in postion to fire once Natas catches Roy.

He moves closer to Roy's voice as I keep a bead on him, like any good sniper can tell you, patience is the key and I know Roy can keep this up for atleast two days..believe me, I know. Natas is gonna slip up and when he does, I'll bust his ass and hang him out to dry.

 

[MST3K 4ever]

Lex is stunned to see Lena again as he says, "My darling has it worked, has armageddon finally happened?"

She looks at him and slowly shakes his head and says, "Father what you have done is a crime against everything that this place and we stand for."

Lex is somewhat shaken and says, "But I...."

Lena says, "Father you rigged bombing in Italy and worked with the Kaznians to arrange everything so neatly. Of course conventional law enforcement will never catch because you've set it up that way. But we will know and know that what you have done is a horrible crime."

Lex says, "But Lena I never wanted to..."

Lena says, "Enough" with tears in her eyes she says, "Why do you always take such beautiful things and destroy them?"

Lex wakes up in a cold sweat and begins to weep.
