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

OOC: I find that hard to believe, sorry about that... if he's online, get him to post also...

 

[Savage]

"An alliance has been formed between some of the deadliest men on the planet, and they're killing others in our ranks." Now that Bruce was here, I could get on with my plan.

I raised my voice speaking loudly and clearly so everyone can hear me.

"As of right now, we are at war. But, rushing in and blindly attacking is not an option. We need to split into teams, so that each can achieve a certain objective that will give us the advantage. I will lead one team, and Batman will head another. Hal seems to have left, but he too will lead a team. Each will choose two or three others to work with them in their task. My team will try and reason with Black Adam; he was once a hero, and I want to know his motivations here. Batman's team will locate this Alliance's base of operations, as well as finding ways to overcome it's defenses. Hal's team will keep a close watch on the villains the Alliance hasn't contacted, ensuring that they do not bolster their ranks. Kara, Wally, you're with me. Batman, you may choose your own team, but I'd suggest Mid-nite and J'onn be a part of it."

"Got it."

"Clark. You didn not mention me in there. Where am I to go?"

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: OK... PiedPiper, I'll let it pass this once... don't bunny Scarecrow... other than that, whatever... I'll let it go this time...

 

[SuperFerret]

"Clark. You didn not mention me in there. Where am I to go?"

"Hmm... I figured you'd be one of Hal's first choices, as you GL's seem to stick together. If you'd like, you can form the team in his absence. Or you can join Batman, unless you want to be in with me, Kara and Flash."

 

[Dwarf lord]

NOW:
Shadow imps look into the small window that leads to the basement workshop of one Rex Tyler. Rex looks up suddenly but sees nothing there, the imps whisper what they saw to the Shade who is hidden in the porch's shadow. His smile is suddenly visible, like that of the Cheshire cat, in the inky blackness; and then disappears.

15 MINUTES BACK:
Rick Tyler is taking a nap after a heavy meal. His brow furrows and he starts to stir when he suddenly sits up with a shuddering gasp and finally says "DAD!" breathlessly. He stumbles out of bed and puts on a shirt as he runs for the front door and puts on his gauntlet and injects himself with Miraclo. This way gives him a straighter line to get to his dad's house instead of a car. He curses himself for not putting a call out first. "Calm down, Rick, you've still got an hour. OR LESS!"- he said as he jumped over a house.

NOW:
The shadows beneath the workbench deepen and Rex notices it. He tries to act non-chalant but as soon as he sees them move he bolts for one of the walls. His hands move quickly and surely as eh opens the small safe and reaches for a small case marked with an hourglass symbol. Through the corner of his eye he sees the Shade standing there and extending an arm. As he starts to drop his case is snatched from his hand. A laughing imp sits inside the safe waving him bye-bye with the case and fades from existence.

10 MINUTES BACK:
Rick had snatched a cell phone from a dumbfounded bystander and tried to phone his father but there was no answer. There wasn't a JSA to call and he wasn't close enough to any of the others to know their phones by memory. "AAAAARRGH!!"- he screamed in frustration as he slammed the cell phone to the floor and broke it in a million pieces.

NOW:
Rex thightens his fist and feels the small pill inside it. He dodges the blows of a trollish shadow creature intent on hitting him. He lets the creature slam him against the wall and he reaches up and activates the emergency blackout lights. The troll backs down as it rises an arm to seemingly cover its eyes. Rex smiles and catches Shade's furious face. He also notices that the Shade is apparently searching the counters. "The tachyon imbued hourglass!!"- Rex thinks as he loses the smile and pops in the Miraclo pill in his mouth. The Shade smiles at him and Rex feels...

5 MINUTES AGO:
Rick knows that he's very close now. He wonders if his visions can be prevented, they have all come to pass exactly as he saw them. "There's still time. It hasn't been an hour yet. This one won't happen."- he's all grimy and sweaty. The property damage he has done by wantonly jumping at enhanced strength is not his concern at the moment. Screaming people and car alarms are all that is left in his wake but the only thing he can hear is the beating of his own heart.

Hal Jordan streaks out of the JLA Watchtower. His frustration is cut short as one of the visions he saw in the Source Wall hits him again like a cement truck. He sees Rex Tyler's mangled body lying crumpled on the floor and a shadowy figure standing victorious over it. It's the same vision that hit Rick Tyler.

NOW:
...small hands grab his throat and choke him. The trollish creature ducks under the lights and punches him in the stomach. An explosion of air flies out his mouth and the pill with it. "Ah, ah, ah!"- Shade says as he motions 'no' with his finger. Rex still fights like a wildcat against the shadow creatures. In a desperate move, Rex grabs a screw driver and throws it dagger-like at the Shade. The Shade steps aside and the screw driver hits a black light generator. Rex struggles free and jumps into the black beam's path only to find that it's bathing him like tar. "What did you think I was doing on the counter? Looking for something? No, dear Rex, I was making sure your little contraption was out of comission and housed a shadow demon of its own."- Shade said with a slight smile. "Damn you, Shade! What do you want?"- replied Rex furiously.

"ME? Oh, I already have what I wanted. It's one of the first things I got shortly after this little battle started. You're my second objective, Rex. Our little club is looking to be rid of you sappy heroes. Me? I agree that there are far too many of you. I aprecciate what some of you do, but frankly...who needs two Hourmen? You're lucky! You get to die and your son gets to live. He's been a worthy legacy to you, Rex. The other legacies I've killed have been of unworthy succesors." The Shade steps closer to Rex who is not only being held by the shadow goo but by the trollish thing. "What was that corny campaign they had years back? I know it had to strike a chord in you since the source of your powers are dependant on it...I remember! This is your brain..."- the Shade said as he motioned to the shadow troll and the creature ran it's paw over Rex's head-"...this is your brain on DRUGS!" The shadow troll attacked Rex viciously mangling his head and body.

SYNCHRONICITY? NOT QUITE!:

Rick dive bombs throught the roof of the house.

Shade hears the impact and prepares for the next attacker by making a shadow creature that looks like him, while he moves to an ambush location.

Rick runs down the stairs and sees his father mangled corpse.

Shade sees the second Hourman come down the stairs and flinch when he sees his father's bloodied body. "Nooo! It wasn't time it wasn't an hour..."

...yet!"-Rick screams as he rams through the "Shade" and crumbles the work bench. The tachyon hourglass spins through the air and Rick sees it as he turns around. He grabs for it, but a shadow bolt hits it. In that split second he realizes that this was what had tampered with the timing of his vision. It's his last conscious thought as he's bathed in black light and the hourglass vanishes. "Curious!"- is all that Shade says as he twiddles his fingers brushing the shadow matter from his blast away.

OOC:Okay, Batnkevlar, there's your cue.

"REX?!?!?! NOO!!!" Alan flies out of the window encased in his Green Flame.

He follows a green energy trail to where Hal is fighting Shade. He doesn't worry with the battle, all he sees is Rex's bloody body. "NOOOOOO! DAMN YOU!" He rushes towards Rex's body to tend to it. Not even the Green Flame can keep him alive.

"I guess time ran out on me, old friend," Rex said as he was fading. Blood was gushing out of his wounds as Alan did the best to hold him together.

"NO! You're not out of time. Never out of time!" Alan yelled back at him.

"I spent my whole life racing the clock, but now it finally caught up with me," Rex staggered. Suddenly Metron appeared next to them.

"Lement not, Alan Scott of Earth. You two deserve another hour." Metron said as he tossed Alan an hourglass ring. "Use this to see him when ever you like. When your hour is up, he will die. Use it wisely." Metron and Rex disappear.

"Damn. SHADE! HE WILL BE THE LAST ONE YOU MURDER!"

OCC: Was this all okay?

 

[Batman]

OOCkay,Its been over two weeks since this post.If I want to keep my character,I need to start posting more,before bat fires my ass.

IC:

Nightwing awoke from his sleep.

He had slept for what seemed like ages,inside a cardboard box,even though He only slept for about six hours.

He felt like some homeless bum,forced to survive on the streets.

This wasnt right.

He was NIGHTWING,for godsakes.

A man who fought alongside the earths greatest heroes,like Superman,The Flash,The Teen Titans,and was even TRAINED by Batman.

And THIS is what he was reduced to?

Sitting inside a cardboard box,without money,food,tattered clothes,and a motorcycle that could stop working at any second?

"No."

He couldnt let that happen.He WOULDNT let that happen.

Nightwing stood,with new confedence,and tore the box in half.

He didnt need it.

He wasnt about to give up.He would make it back to Gotham.He would restore himself to his former glory,because...

"Im Nightwing."He said,with his head held high.

With that,He got back on the motorcycle,and took off,determined to end this journey.

OOC:WOW...I really suck at posting.

Seriously,I plan to get better..........Im just busy with other stuff.

Anywho,moving on.........

IC:Nightwing

Nightwing passed various Truckers and sports cars as He made his way along the highway,nearing Fawcett City.

And then,just as He went on the nearest exit.......something that He had been trying to avoid for days FINALLY happened...

The bike gave out.

It lasted for a little less than a week,which was good.......but at awkward timing.

He was ACTUALLY getting closer to Bludhaven.....and to Gotham.

Not much closer.....but closer nonetheless.

Frustrated,Nightwing kicked the bike......only to hurt his toe....which didnt help matters.


Leaving the bike behind,He started walking........and walking.........and walking........





After about fifteen minutes of walking,Nightwing was sick of it.

There had to be another way.......


At that point,He spotted the docks.Some of the workers were loading up for the night.

Curious.......well.......desperate,really.....He ran towards it,and waited for the men to leave.

Taking a break.....they left,and Nightwing snuck over to the crates.

"Come on.....There has to be a Wayne Enterprises crate in here SOMEWHERE..."He mumbled to himself,looking at the labels.

And finally....He found it.

It was big enough for him,to boot.

He felt like cheering,But he didnt want to alert the workers,so instead,He climbed inside.

Finally.....after all this time......He was one step closer to coming home.

"Alright, but, who do we know is in the Allience? Who have they taken out?"

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

"Jay? What are you talking about?" Asked Alan as he holds the telephone to his ear. "You're not making any sense? REX?!?!?! HE'S DEAD!?!? NO!" Alan flies out of the window encased in his Green Flame.

He follows a green energy trail to where Hal is fighting Shade. He doesn't worry with the battle, all he sees is Rex's bloody body. "NOOOOOO! DAMN YOU!" He rushes towards Rex's body to tend to it. Not even the Green Flame can keep him alive.

OCC: Was this all okay?

OOC: Wait, I thought you were at the Watchtower, how did you get your hands on a telephone?

 

[SuperFerret]

"Alright, but, who do we know is in the Allience? Who have they taken out?"

"Black Adam, Shade and Deathstroke are the only members I know of, Mid-nite will know more. And Impulse and Jade are among the fallen."

 

[Savage]

EDIT: God damn it.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

"Black Adam, Shade and Deathstroke are the only members I know of, Mid-nite will know more. And Impulse and Jade are among the fallen."

"Jesus..." I reply, that's a hell of a roster. Now to choose my team.

To counter-act Black Adam, I'll need someone magical in origin...

"Diana,"

For Shade, maybe someone with similar powers can counter-act him...

"Raven,"

And with Deathstroke, I'll need a strong fighter...

"Cyborg,"

I'll need more for help, regular fighters, with both mid-range and long-range attacks.

"Dinah, Ollie," and the two Clark suggested, "J'onn, Mid-Nite."

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Don't use NPC's to fight... what'll you have? Wonder Woman decking Shade?

 

[Tropico]

OOC: Dwarf Lord, the post seems a little weird to me. Jay finding out and calling? And the Hourglass ring? I thought it was pretty apparent that Rex was killed. Still, my real concern is how you got there since it's a pretty big departure from your previous post.

IC:Shade winced in pain as he started to stand up. "No more? My dear boy, we're just begining."- he brushed off his coat and in doing so surreptiously touched the emerald opening communication to Adam's emerald. "So! The mighty Hald Jordan has come to punish me for being naughty. My shadows against your light, this should be entertaining." The shadow troll appeared again and grabbed Rick-"Oh, look! What horror! An innocent bystander! Whatever shall you do?" The sarcasm dripped from the Shade's words as he fired a volley of shadow bolts hoping that Hal's concern for Rick would prove to be enough of a distraction. The shadows already deepened around him and started to take the shapes of horrible creatures.

Shade's conversation after touching the emerald reverberated in Black Adam's stone; it was a devious way of asking for backup.

 

[Dwarf lord]

OOC: Wait, I thought you were at the Watchtower, how did you get your hands on a telephone?

OOC: The Green flame can do many things. Please let me do this, people. It will come into play later in my story arc.

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: If you're gonna do it, then do it rite...

I thought she couldn't do much of anything as Green Flame?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Black Adam sat on the floor of his room. He had completely regained his strength already--the raging magical energies of Fate's Tower were as good as hooking the ancient warrior up to a dynamo--but he found the quiet a pleasant means of escaping his compatriots, and with them the memory of their distasteful acts so far, as well as the promise of more to come. His disposition towards his new associates darkened every time they claimed another victim, but he had to be strong his resolve and honor his commitment. He would have his revenge for Khandaq, and if these overeager savages were his only means of attaining it, then so be it.

But, alas, it appeared Black Adam's thoughts could not remain his own for long. He felt a warmth behind his sash and reached in to pull out the gemstone Mordru had given him. The Shade's voice came through it as clearly as if the shadow-man were standing right beside the Mighty Adam.

"So! The mighty Hald Jordan has come to punish me for being naughty. My shadows against your light, this should be entertaining."[/quote]Black Adam weighed his options. He would not betray his teammate, of course--his honor was resolute even in these black affairs--but perhaps he might let the Shade stew a while...

Damn it all, no! I can't give myself over to their love of cruelty. I am better than that!

"Shade, I hear you. I will help you as soon as I can, but you must first tell me where you are!" Black Adam cursed to himself again and silently recited a Khandaqi prayer for forgiveness on his soul...

OOC: I changed Black Adam's color, obviously. Bold black was annoying me for some reason.

*Hal saw the shadows, yet he was not afarid. The Corps had taught him a lot.*

"In Brightest Day..."

*Hal illuminated the room in a flash of light, blinding everyone except him. He then wrested Rick from the graps of the shadow, flying him away to safety*

"...in Blackest Night..."

*Hal then forms a giant boxing glove and socks Shade again*

 

[Tropico]

Shade rolled with the blow and used his own shadow to teleport. He stepped out in one of the rooms of the house. He 'felt' his emerald and heard Black Adam's reply, he gave an exasperated sigh and replied- "There are some maps in a table in the study, I'm in Rex Tyler's house." With that he had an idea. He moved through the room and looked accross the street to a neighbor's house and teleported there. Shade went to the front windows where the curtains were drawn after the battle had started. "If you keep flying away, Mr. Lantern, some other people might get hurt!"- he screamed from the house.

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: I actually didn't fly away...I just got rICK TO SAFETY... (sorry caps)... anyway, I'll do it your way...

"No Evil shall escape my sight..."

 

[Harlekin]

OOC: Dwarf Lord, just take out Jay. Jay can't call about Rex's death when it happened a second ago, and especially if he's not even anywhere near it. Just make it into a vision or whatever. Can we all at least try to keep it a tad bit logical?

 

[Supergirl]

"Kal, I think Adam's honor may be appealed to, he didn't kill me when we fought, and I'm almost positive that he could have. He did leave me in bad shape though" She points at her cuts and bruises. "And if worst comes to worst, I want a rematch."

 

[Nightwing]

OOCk everything has happened so fast i dont even know whos where or anything.this is chaotic.weve got people telling others they cant bunny and then people being unlogical. whats happening in the arc now?is there anything J'onn can do or am i good to start my own arc.
