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

[DarkKnightJRK]

I was tracking the progress in Keystone when I noticed something strange on the sensers. There's an unidentified object near the life-support systems, and another unidentified gas in the vents...

"Everyone, get gas masks on now!" I yelled out.

I ran out of the control room and headed for the life-support systems in the Reactor room. I was just about to put my rebreather--

"Batmaaaaaaaaan, oh Bruciiiiiiiie..." I turned and nearly screamed in horror.

Standing before me was HIM, the man who killed my parents...but he was different. Half of his face was mutilated, there were faded question marks all over his clothing, vines were wrapped around parts of him, he let out visable breaths, like he was in a cold enviroment, he carried a sythe, and...and there was the GRIN.

Everything I fear, everything I hate, were wrapped into this package of evil.

"Guess what, Bats? You FAILED."

 

[SuperFerret]

I had cracked the "Green Lantern's" skull against the pavement. Yeah, I know, it's a deviation from my usual M.O. but it's not real and shouldn't even exist in the first place, so I'm allowing myself to cut loose a bit.

The Diana clone tries repeatedly to wrap me in her barbed lasso, but I'm too fast for her. One punch and she's out, permanently.

That just leaves... me, and me.

We face off. I've fought myself before, and Bizarro's still trapped in the Watchtower (OOC: Hint, hint.) Then, I hear it. A loud shreik, somewhere between an explosion, a dying cat and Dinah's Canary Cry. It distracts me for a moment, nothing longer, but it allows my counterpart to gain the advantage. He slams me into a demolished building, and all I can think is; Was that Dinah?

OOC: Wow, the definitive Bat-villian.

 

[Batman]

Dick looked back.

Where was Dinah?

He heard something....loud.....before falling to the ground.

He then went wide-eyed as He realised it.

"Dinah?"He said.

No answer.


His eyes widened even more.

"...No......No...It...cant.....No....No.....NO...."

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He screamed as the realization hit him like a ton of bricks.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Well, now that was interesting”, laughs Mordru after his blast, originally intended for the false Batman, wiped the Black Canary from the face of reality instead.
Mordru turned to face Dick Grayson, his face turning cold and emotionless, “Wasn't it, Richard?”



“Now”, Mordru says, extending his arm once again at Nightwing, “Shall we try that again?”

"YOU........BASTARD!!!!!"Dick screamed,with tear filled eyes,as He lept towards Mordru in anger.

 

[The Question]

Through my meditations, I have built up a resistance to halucenagens. I can see that the same cannot be said for Batman. I run over to him, grab his rebreather, and give it to Constintine.

"Constintine, shoot that.....thing!"


"RIGHTO NO FACE!!!!!!!"


The composite creature is down, but it's starting to reform as if it were made of clay.

"Constintine, can you imunize yourself from the gas?"

"Yes."

"Give me the rebreather."

I put the mask on Batman. His breathing begins to return to normal, but the creature hasn't disapeared.

The creature begins to walk tword us.

"Oh, this will be such FUN!!!"

 

[SuperFerret]

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

OOC: Anakin?

 

[Batman]

OOC: Anakin?

OOC:

No,that would be done like this:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I noticed Question and Constantine from the corner of my eye, but my mind was focused on the creature.

Suddenly, the creature shape-shifts. While keeping some of it's original shape, it sprouted leather wings, became a darker shade of black, fangs grew from his canines, and his eyes became a bleeding red.

It leaped into the air and swooped down, landing on top of me, bashing me in the face. I'm too terrifyed to do anything.

"Every one you know, every one you LOVE. Dick, Dinah, Tim, Barbara, every single one of them will die. You can't stop it. Hell, maybe a part of you, the part The Bat came from...enjoys it."

"N-no, that's not tru--"

"Oh really? You LOVE being the loner. You REVEL in it."

"No--"

"Yes. And why should you? They don't understand you! Every single one of your 'friends' fear you. They think you're a loose cannon, a sick, demented freak who deserve to be locked up with the same people you fight. They HATE you."

"That's not tru--"

"Yes it is. And guess what? You hate them back."

"THAT'S NOT TRUE!"

"Why else are you still here? They're all down there: Dick, Tim, Dinah. Meanwhile, you're up here, on Mount Olympus, trying to get magic shields in, trying to stop the inevitable. YOU LEFT THEM TO DIE."

 

[SuperFerret]

"That's not tru--"

"Yes it is. And guess what? You hate them back."

"THAT'S NOT TRUE!"

"Why else are you still here? They're all down there: Dick, Tim, Dinah. Meanwhile, you're up here, on Mount Olympus, trying to get magic shields in, trying to stop the inedible. YOU LEFT THEM TO DIE."

OOC: Not to be a jackass, but it's inevitable not inedible. I'm sorry, I just spit my soda all over myself when I read that.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Through my meditations, I have built up a resistance to halucenagens. I can see that the same cannot be said for Batman. I run over to him, grab his rebreather, and give it to Constintine.

OOC: The gas is mystical in nature, so no meditations will save you from it. Question would be infected, just like Batman.

 

[Batman]

Dick lands in front of Mordru.

"BRING HER BACK!!!!!!!!"He screamed into his face,even though he was surely seconds away from being turned to dust.

"DO IT......and I'll take her place."Dick said,as his tears dried beneath the cowl.

He thought about what he said.

...He didnt care.

If it meant Dinah returning,The at least she had people who needed her......

"If you bring her back......I'll let you destroy me."He said,looking Mordru right in the face.


OOC:....Um....I dont really mean that.Although I think Dick would do that.....I want to stay in the game.

I have to leave,so if anyone can figure out how I could live.....please act on it.

And BTW...

R.I.P Dinah Lance

 

[The Question]

OOC: The gas is mystical in nature, so no meditations will save you from it. Question would be infected, just like Batman.

OOC: I thought the magic only made the fears become real. Oh well. In his meditations he uses halucenagens. I'm gonna have him start to be affected. It's just gonna take a little bit longer.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Not to be a jackass, but it's inevitable not inedible. I'm sorry, I just spit my soda all over myself when I read that.

OOC: ...Heheh. Thanks.

"Yes it is. And guess what? You hate them back."

"THAT'S NOT TRUE!"

"Why else are you still here? They're all down there: Dick, Tim, Dinah. Meanwhile, you're up here, on Mount Olympus, trying to get magic shields in, trying to stop the inedible. YOU LEFT THEM TO DIE."

The gas is starting to affect me to. I have to act fast. I grab a plastic explosive and cryo bomb from Batman's utility belt. I shove the explosive dowm the monster's throat. As soon as it explodes, I throw the cryo bomb at it, freezing it solid. I drag Batman to the med lab, shareing the gas mask with him. Batman, Constantine and I get into the med lab, and I lock the door.

"Constintine, get the.......anisthetiiiii........"

I colaps to the floor as an army of rapists, murderers, crime lords, and monsters grow from my mind.


"Oh bloody ****ing hell."

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I tried to hold myself against all the rapists from Question's mind, but the eventually overwhelm me. I'm then saved...by something I don't want to be saved by.

It's...me. A demon, with crimson eyes and black tar bleeding from the mouth. It's the amalgamation from before, I can feel it.

"You're a monster, Bruce. You're nothing but a freak, just like your enemies. Why do you hide your true self? Why do you keep thinking such human thoughts like joy and love? I've seen your...'strange thoughts' of the Canary. Do you think she would accept something like you? One of these days, you're finally going to see the light, and you will kill, and you will LOVE IT."

Dick lands in front of Mordru.

"If you bring her back......I'll let you destroy me."He said,looking Mordru right in the face.

Mordru chuckles at the young man’s response, “My dear boy, I plan on destroying you anyway.”
With lightning fast reflexes, the Dark Lord grabs Dick Grayson by the throat and lifts him off of his feet. Squeezing the breath from him, Mordru jerks him forward, so that his face is an inch away from his. “If it’s any consolation, boy, you will soon be reunited.”

Mordru sends Nightwing flying across the street and crashing into a large metal mailbox, leaving a large dent in it. Before he starts after Nightwing, the Dark Lord turns towards the people the heroes saved who are frozen in fear. With a tilt of his head, the Dark Lord smiles as beams of emerald energy pour from his eyes and turn the people to ash.
“Hmm, not even a scream”, Mordru says with a disappointed look on his face.
Turning back to Nightwing, Mordru’s smile returns as his eyes crackle with mystical energy.
“Let’s see if we can coax a few shrieks out of you, shall we?”

As I fight of the hordes of monsters created by my mind, I can see Constintine shooting the criminals and the Bat demon.

"**** you twinkle toes!!!!"

He's blasted away what seems like hundreds of fear creatures. He then starts to mutter something....sounds like latin? The creatures disapear and Constintine injects us with the anisthetic.

 

[Tropico]

Shade watched Mordru's actions. If he could have been faster, he would have 'shadowed' out of the way. He sighed deeply and when his shoulders returned to their position they slumped a bit. He spoke his thoughts outloud--

"Of all the heroes to die in this conflagaration, it had to be the only worthy legacy. I cringe at the thought at what new Black Canary this age would produce. Ugh! Why wasn't it that Batman stand-in? Sigh, I shall miss the golden tressed lady with the perilous voice. And what a loss of perfectly beautiful legs. Sigh!!!"- Shade kept watch of the encounter and leaned in expectantly as Mordru aimed at "Batman" again.

 

[Savage]

Zoom constantly tortures me. He gives me enough energy to heal and then takes back enough to continue his beating. All while Linda barks insults at me from the sidelines. I'm being destroyed physicaly and mentally. Not to mention my powers just...deserted me...They've got me rounded off at every corner.

"Upsy daisy." He says as he grabs me by the throat. My legs are rubber and I can barely even hold my own weight.

"Come on now. Stand still." He says finally fixing me up to stand and then steps back.

"There." He says with a sadistic smile on his face that turns into a grin and then full on laughter. I'm talking gut deep. He is really getting a kick out of this. I mean at this point a breeze could knock me over. The logo on my chest is ripped and hanging off. Clumps of hair is sticking out of my mask. Nose is broken and busted. Left eye is lazy and keeps flickering. My face is jampacked with bruises and my mouth is stuck open with blood dripping out of it and dripping off my chin. I've seen heavyweight boxers look better.

"aaahaaahahahaha. Oh my god. Oh my god, I can't believe this. Linda baby come look at this."

She walks over to him glaring at me as he puts his arm over her shoulder. That stupid smile glued onto his face.

"...What did I ever see in you? What is wrong with you? What is wrong with me for even marrying you?...You care about no-one but yourself, the only reason you're even doing this whole 'superhero' deal is for the publicity. The fans, the endorsements, the money, the fame, the glory of it all. This is just some adolescent fantasy that you never grew out of...For god's sake Wally, you're a grown man in red tights."

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh god. That's a good one. I like that."

I'm still swaying around, side to side, front to back...like a punching bag...just taking their s**t cause...well...it's all I can do...I'm going to die anyway...but if you think I'm going down without a fight...you don't know Flash.

"...kiiilll...yooouuu..."

"I'm sorry. What was that?"

"...I'll...kill...yooouuu..."

"heh...I give you back your windpipe...and all of a sudden you think that means you can talk...Did I say you can talk?...huh?...Did I?!"

He throws a punch at me but this time I block it. I grab him by the bolt on the side of his head and pull him down...The look on his face is priceless...I almost feel sorry for him...Almost. My eyes feel like they're about to fall out of their sockets. Veins on my head pound so hard they feel like they're trying to jump off. And my body, my costume itself, slowly heals...And I don't notice a thing...as I punch through his head so fast...so hard...that he bursts...He bursts into dust...And with that he floats into the wind...I fear nothing.

I turn to see Linda's eyes in horror. Almost in a panic as she slowly backs away shaking her head...I glare at her and she fades away as well...I have no more time for distractions. Nothing will stand in my way ever again...I have lives to save.

"--And Tim's going to die, and your precious little DINAH will lie in a puddle of her own blood--"

BANG

The demon drops to the ground and starts to melt away. The next thing I know, Constantine's next to me, injecting something into me.

"You alright, mate?" I semi-hear him ask. The blood is still pumping too hard in my ears to fully hear.

"Y-yeah, I think so."

"Shake it off, Bats. You look like s**t. Don't let that thing get to ya, just brush youself off, got it?"

"...Yes." I stand back up. "We still need to find the thing that's releasing the gas. I tracked it down in the Reactor room, so we need to start running." I start to head out when I glanced at one of the mirrors and froze.

Dozens of satallites are heading our way. Constantine notices and says what I'm thinking.

"Holy s**t."

 

[X]

OOC: Super badass stuff there, Savage. You paint a very good visual picture, just to let you know.

"Can you teleport everyone to earth John?"


"I can try no face. Where to?"


"The home of profesor Rodor, Hub City!"


"Got it!"

Mystical symbols apear on the foreheads of everyone in the Watchtower.

"THIS IS GONNA BE A BUMPY RIDE SQUIRES!!!!!"

In a flash, we disapear. My insides feel like they've been turned inside out. I find myself in Tot's liveingroom with Batman, Constintine, and a few dozon strangers behind me. Out the windoe we can see a large explosion in the sky. Tot speaks:

"Charlie, what have you gotten yourself into now?

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

EDIT

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Lupus, you do know that the Watchtower here is the satalite version, right?
