The 'World of Heroes: DC Style" RPG Season II

[Savage]

*Keystone City. Barry's old stomping ground and mine. We kicked alotta ass and took alotta names here. We were unstoppable. No-one could touch us. Literally...At least that's what we thought anyway...When Barry died, it hit me like a cement truck. My hero, my idol, in a way my father. To see someone who in my eyes was the world's greatest hero...to watch him die and not be able to do anything about it...I questioned myself and if I had the right to even call myself a hero...Yeah...Lots of memories here.*

*Anyway, time to get a move on. The past is the past, I'm way more powerful than Barry ever dreamed, and most importantly of all, I have a monkey to spank...Not THAT monkey. You people make me sick.*

*Hmm. Pretty shabby part of town. Not too many people around except for that gang of kids over there who keep pointing and staring at me...Some peepsqueak with glasses passes by them looking down at his shoes and walking quickly...They're smart enough to know not to try anything stupid when I'm around.*

*Found the barbershop. Bordered up all over and vandalized to bajeezus and back. I rip some of the boards off the door and invite myself in.*

Flash-:shudders:"I hate dark and spooky places...Now...Barber chair, barber shair, barber chair, OW!"
*Found it*
Flash-"son of a...Okay,okay, just sit down, make yourself comfy and pull theWOAH!!!"
*It's like a freakin roller coaster!*
Flash-"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*SLAM!!!*
Flash-"ACK!!!!"
:Falls head first:
Flash-"AH!"

Gorilla Grodd-"It's about damn time you got here!"

*Hal forms an old-fashioned train with his ring and takes Dinah by then hand, helping her up and into the carriage.*

"All aboard!" he yelled, then piloted the train into the sky. They landed soon after in the town and Hal let the people off.

"What now, Dinah? Where're we off to this time?"

 

[TheCorpulent1]

"Kid Flash," Black Adam said, rubbing his chin. "Yes, his death should galvanize our little revolution nicely. We must be prepared for significant resistance, however. Bart is rarely away from his Teen Titan compatriots."

 

[twylight]

Dinah enjoyed the ride back, as did the Seniors, Hal was always the imaginitive of the Green Lantern's, though Kyle was quickly challenging that status in Dinah's book.

After they landed she hugged her 'Bridge club friends good-bye and promised to call.

After Hal's question, she looked around.

"I have an airplane parked at an airstrip on the other side of town. But I can always retrieve that later."
She paused, her impatience to get home was eating at her.

"Just take me back to Gotham, please, I need to find out all that has happened. Have you heard anything?"

 

[Supergirl]

"Kid Flash," Black Adam said, rubbing his chin. "Yes, his death should galvanize our little revolution nicely."

OOC: Whenever you guys are ready...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: Gotta wait for Deathstroke's response to all this. You wouldn't want to deprive Harlekin the chance to drool over killing one of the Titans' little bastards, would you?

 

[Tropico]

The shadows writhed around the Shade as MM made his move and vanished into Adam's metallic chest emblem. "Well...that was anti-climatic." -he said as he composed himself. He chuckled at himself as he made a play on words on the actions that just occured. He listened attentively at Mordru's next plan and stifled his complain at taking on another child. After all, even the adults in this were children to people like them. He watched Deathstroke closely as their next target was mentioned, there would be a reaction there.

"You're asking me whether I'VE heard anything? Mr. Source-Wall-End-of-the-world-funky-voodoo Guy? Just thought you should know. I've been stuck in a coma for who knows how long. A coma with visions. And to answer your question, no, I haven't heard anything. That is, other than the Universe is gonna end..."

 

[Supergirl]

OOC: Good point

"What?!"
Dinah stepped back. Placing her hand on her head she wished she just stayed with earthbased heroes.
"I assume you've told Superman and Jonn? I need to get back to Gotham. Is there anyway I can reach you after I get there?"

 

[batnkevlar]

"After you get there?"

*A flash of green surrounds them and he looks around at the Gotham Harbor to their left*

"If we're not in Gotham, then where are we?" Hal asks, with a wink.

 

[Harlekin]

OOC: Sorry for posting so late fellows, but I went through an unplanned party frenzy starting monday night (its wensday morning now).

IC:
Bart Allen. Kid Flash. The last time the Titan and Terminator had found themselves face to face, Slade hasd been under control by the spirit of his son Jericho. Looking back to that day, Slade wished Jericho would've succeeded and hid a rather sadistic grin.

 

[PFunk2]

OOC: Sorry for not posting folks. I just ran into a mental block on what to do next with John. And I sorta lost in the storyline.

 

[PFunk2]

John returns to the orbiting Watchtower and heads down to its comm center to check up on what's been happening since he left.

"I wonder what's been going on now" he says to himself John take a seat and starting going thru the recent history database.

 

[RoseRedStrauss]

*Zoom appears from wherever he is at the moment and steps on to a street, deciding what his next move is, whatever it may be.*

[OOC]Uh yea, I guess I'm back, unless its a problem with you guys, or I'm trapped in some kind of prison or something. Just tell me and I'll edit.[/OOC]

 

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: You were invited to join the Dark Alliance. If you want, you can make your way to Titans Tower, since we'll be there to kill Bart soon, and join us.

 

[Supergirl]

OOC: Aw **** now we have Zoom to deal with too?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: You never know. Think positive, maybe Strauss thinks we're losers and won't join.

OOC: Strauss, here's the post where I bunnied Zoom for the invitation. I think this is the last anyone's seen or heard of him.

Black Adam tracks down Zoom, who has been in hiding since Flash beat the living hell out of him. "Zolomon," he says, slowing down to hover in front of Zoom.

"Black Adam, alias Teth-Adam. Ancient soldier of the Egyptian Prince Khufu empowered by the wizard Shazam. Brought into the present when his powers were bonded to his thief descendant Theo Adam."

"Impressive. You know much about me."

"I was a police profiler before... this. It was my job to know."

"Yes, well, I know all I need to of you: I know you crave power. The power to teach the Flash to be a better man."

"I have all the power I need to make Flash learn. Besides, what does that have to do with you? Last I heard you were on a quest to destroy every hero in sight. I have no desire to indulge your obsession."

"You don't even realize it, do you? You and I--our quests are entwined. Even now the Flash clings to his fellow heroes for support after the... ordeal... you put him through with his wife. What better lesson for the Flash to learn than how to be independent? To rely only on himself, knowing no support will be there, no cushion of friends for him to fall on?"

Zoom pauses in thought. He knows Black Adam is trying to manipulate him; he's too smart not to. But he can't help thinking that the prospect is intriguing. Deprive Flash of his fellow heroes, force him out on his own... Wally could certainly learn a thing or two from that. On the other hand, he's also too smart to throw in his lot with Black Adam blindly, with no assurance that Black Adam's insane quest will turn out to be anything more than a foolish suicide run. "I will consider your offer," Zoom replies. "That is all I will give you for now."

"Then it shall be enough. Our paths will cross again." With that, Black Adam sets off in search of his next accomplice. A villain of the worst order, willing to destroy anything that impeded his singular quest for ultimate power. The kind of villain that he put his life on the line to defeat during his time with the JSA. He believed he was on a quest to keep mankind safe from this being's power then; how odd that now, in a different quest to redeem a specific subset of mankind, he should seek that same being out for help. But Adam knows that for the task he has laid out before himself, he will need more than the help of mere men, even men as powerful as Zoom. He will need a god. And so, Black Adam streaks toward any clue he can find to the whereabouts of Mordru, the Dark Lord of Chaos.

OOC: Hope I did RoseRedStrauss proud bunnying Zoom.

The crowds began roaring and shouting as the fight began.Two roudy men bumped into the Penguin knocking his drink out of his hand.

"Clumsy cretins" the Penguin shouted.The man immediately next to Penguin looked at him and laughed.

"Watch yourself fatsr I'll ram that umbrella of yours down your neck".

The Penguin stood up and pointed his umbrella at the man."You mean this umbrella??" Penguin asked with a smile.

Suddenly a blast of bullets fired from the Umbrella's tip.They struck the man in the chest and he fell to the floor dead.

His friend looked down at him in horror as blood began to leak out from under the body.He looked back up at the Penguin who was now pointing the umbrella at him.

"Now then would you care to replace my drink your very rude friend spilled on me??".

"Sssssure thing" the man stammered.

"How generous" The Penguin said as he sat back down."I do enjoy a good fight".

OOC: Beautiful

 

[Spike_x1]

Henshaw’s fist landed a blow on Rudy’s jaw that created a small boom, resounding throughout the arena. They had been fighting for a good fifteen minutes now, and the Parasite’s power hadn’t even begun to fade yet.

The Parasite had managed to grasp the exposed flesh of the Cyborg a couple times, but Hank wasn’t making it easy. Rudy had gained some minor heat vision and added a touch of Cyborg’s strength to his own. Henshaw knew better than to use energy blasts against Rudy, but rather stick with hand-to-hand tactics. But, that was where Rudy excelled at thanks to Batman and Canary. Parasite easily dodged Cyborg’s punches, slashes, and kicks.
The Parasite flipped over Cyborg as he launched another punch at Rudy. Evading the blow, Rudy landed behind Cyborg. He then swung his leg outward, knocking Henshaw off of his feet, slamming him into the arena floor.

With blinding speed, the Parasite climbed onto the Cyborg’s chest and pressed his right purple kneecap as hard as he could into Henshaw’s chest plate. Rudy held Cyborg’s left arm down with his right hand and held Henshaw’s right arm down with his left leg.
Now, using his free left hand, the Parasite reached to his mouth and revealed the hidden electro magnetic pulse emitter his employers had given him. Rudy attached the emitter to the side of the Cyborg’s head and activated the device.

“RRRAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHH” Cyborg screamed as his circuit began to sizzle.

Acting without a moments hesitation, the Parasite used both of his hands to peel off the armor plating from Henshaw’s skull. Once the dark red metal had been forcibly removed (along with small bits of bone fragments), the Parasite latched onto the Cyborg’s now fully exposed flesh and began draining what was left of Hank Henshaw into his own being.

Moments later, the Parasite stood up and began cheering to the crowd. He had won the Meta-Brawl! He was the champ! Then he saw Killer Frost climbing into the ring and running up to him, carrying a large trophy. She handed the trophy to Rudy and hugged him. Together, they left the fighting ring and headed back to Parasite’s hotel room.

**********
Later, when everyone had left to cash in their winnings, the janitor came along to sweep away the armor-plated bones of Hank Henshaw. As the custodian was heaving the smelly pile of debris into his bin, he heard someone open the door to the ring. Looking to see who it was, the janitor saw that it was the Champ. The Parasite.
Unexpectedly, the Parasite tossed a wad of hundred dollar bills onto the floor in front of the janitor.

“I used to be just like you, buddy. Go buy yourself something to drink.”

Then, the Parasite left.

 

[Spike_x1]

OOC: Add the Cyborg to my death list.

 

[The Joker]

As the crowds cheered the Penguin stood up and took the last sip of his drink.He placed a cigarette in his cigarette holder and smiled.

This Parasite person has just made him a very rich man."Thanks for the drink" Penguin said mockingly to the man beside him as he walked out of the arena swinging his umbrella merrily.

Roulette saw Cobblepot coming and smiled."I told you Ozzie.Parasite has been cleaning their clocks".

"And he has just feathered my nest with cash.As have you my dear thanks to your generous tip" Penguin said as he took Roulette's hand and kissed it.

"Here you go Ozzie.In the black briefcase just how you like it" Roulette said as she handed him his winnings.

Penguin tipped his hat."Until next time my dear" he said as he left thru the secret entrance.

It was time to return to Gotham and make repairs to the lounge.Things were looking up now that the Bat was dead.The Penguin intended to spread his wings even more.

OOC: Interesting. The guy who has no qualms about sucking the life from an entire maternity ward, gives away a couple of hundred dollars to a janitor.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: You were invited to join the Dark Alliance. If you want, you can make your way to Titans Tower, since we'll be there to kill Bart soon, and join us.

OOC: Or you all can take care of Bart, and Mordru can come across Zoom in his search for the fake Mirror Master.
Either or would work.
Though, I don't know if Zoom would really go along with our extermination agenda. If we had our way, all the heroes would be wiped out, and Zoom just wants to make them better heroes by showing them tragedy and what not.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: Actually, he wants to show Flash how to be a better hero, which I had Black Adam work to his advantage in the case I presented to Zoom. He doesn't care about other heroes as far as I know. The Mordru idea is good, but we should probably wait until RRS lets us know whether he wants to join in the first place before we discuss how to get him in any further.
