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

[GammaMike]

Arthur stood with his back to the hull of the Sea Lab, survaying his warriors, who had routed the various battle droids defending the Injustice Society's fprmer stronghold. Pride filled the monarch, his warriors had not sustained even one casualty. They patrolled the battlefield in groups, incapacitating and droids still operational, and treating the minor wounds of their comrades. He opened himself up to the Clear and felt the aid he had summoned , fast approaching. He sent out a telepathic message to his entire armed force.

{ Today, we have tasted victory! We have fought with skill and demonstrated great valor. It fills my heart with great pride to have fought alongside you. together, we will change the world. We have one our first battle, but have many more to fight. We will take this war to the terran dwellers. we will take back our oceans and protect our childrens futures. No longer will we be subject to the abuses of others. We will rise up, and show the world our might!!!!!!!}

As his message began, the warriors cheered their King, but the battlefield quickly found silence as he advised of his plans. it was still and eery on the battlefield as he continued his speech through telepathy. at the conclusion, his warriors , still filled with the lust for battle, raised there voices in a cacaphonous roar. They lustily banged the butts of there tridents on the ground and celebrated the announcment.

Just at the moment when it seemed the celebration was about to cease, Arthur felt the presence of the force he had summoned.

{ Behold!!!!! The giants of the deep have come too aid us in our cause!}, arthur announced, as three of the greatest, and most ancient Giant Squid in the world approached the derelict hull. His forces exploded into celebration once again, as three sets of giant tentacles, wrapped around the hull. They crushed it in like it were made of putty, and dragged it towards the surface of the ocean.

Arhtur rejoiced, and thought to himself, " And so it begins!".......................

*Hal glows and rushes towards Parasite but stops himself*

"He'll just suck the energy out of my ring. Gotta think of something..."

*Spots Kalibak rampaging through the streets*

"Crap. I guess I have to take care of Kalibak."

Dinah glanced up with a carrot in her mouth as a less heard, but familiar sound of a communicator went off.

Leaving the salad she was busy making, she snapped the carrot off and she chewed the rest of it as she ran to the computers.

Pressing a button to take the computer off standby she saw a window glow red saying “Batman.”

“Hmm..” Picking up the head phone and placing them over her blonde hair she pushed the button and answered in a fake synthesized female voice “You have reached Gotham City clock tower. To report a Crime press one, to report a Batman sighting press two, to receive brokered information press three, to be connected with a hot single in your area press four, for all other requests press five.”

She paused, receiving silence on the other end.

“Not good news, huh?” She asked.

Only a few people have the gull to joke at me without any inch of fear. One of those is Dinah Lance, the current Black Canary. For that I respect her. I keep silent for a moment to see if she'll be, as she has put it once, "wierded out."

Just then several computers around the room started flashing windows...Wheeling the chair to one of them Dinah clicked it.

Reading the scrolling Data she gasped. “WayneTech! Bruce are you seeing this?”

"Yes, I'm reading it right now. It's even worse, I just recieved an e-mail from Wayne-Tech from one "DH." Digger Harkings. Captain Boomerang. I'm going to need someone to go there and take him back to a prison cell. I would do it myself, but my city needs me and he says if I go people will die. I'm asking you to head to Africa to stop Boomerang and whatever he's planning."

OOC: I don't mind you getting a part in this. Hell, I was going to PM you about it anyway!

 

[SuperFerret]

OOC: Dinah LANCE and Digger HARKNESS

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Dinah LANCE and Digger HARKNESS

OOC: Boy, do I feel like an a*shole.

 

[SuperFerret]

OOC: Don't feel bad. I just wanted to let you know.

 

[Twitch]

OOC: c'mon...Robin was trained by Bruce....he'd at least have some thermite or some sonics to utilize in his...yup, you guessed it, utility belt.

Read earlier and find that I agreed to a fair fight.

And if Zoom decides to kill me............I have plans for the .

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Don't kill anyone unless it's really that good of a death... plus, THINK ROBIN THINK! No offense, but Robin would never pick a fight with Zoom unless he had something up his sleeves... so think like him, dude...

 

[SuperFerret]

OOC: Plus, Zoom's speed negates any "fairness", unless he wants to go on fighting skill alone.

 

[twylight]

"Yes, I'm reading it right now. It's even worse, I just recieved an e-mail from Wayne-Tech from one "DH." Digger Harkness. Captain Boomerang. I'm going to need someone to go there and take him back to a prison cell. I would do it myself, but my city needs me and he says if I go people will die. I'm asking you to head to Africa to stop Boomerang and whatever he's planning."

OOC: I don't mind you getting a part in this. Hell, I was going to PM you about it anyway!

Dinah pressed her lips together and typed in "Digger Harkness" into the computer.
Several windows popped up, glancing over them she replied. "I'm up for a mission, this JL thing isn't really going anywhere, he doesn't seem too bad. Any special warnings or suggestions?"
She asked as she pressed a few more buttons, a window popped up showing the E-Mail Bruce had received.

Dear Bruce,

Your company was unintentionally killing people here to make a profit, so I have corrected your oversight...also doing it WITHOUT a profit, just so you know. I realize you will wish to hunt me down, but first, I want you to know what will happen if you do. I was kind enough to do this when the plant was mostly empty, however, if you come here I will use the personnel data in my possession to slay every single WayneTech employee from this plant. More importantly, I have an e-mail that will reveal your identity to the world if I don't de-activate it daily. It seems your late night activities have affected your business ethics and oversight capabilities. Let this serve as a wake-up call. I have access to Customs and air traffic computers. If you set foot on this continent, people will die before you leave the airport. Have a nice day, mate.

Your Friend,
DH

Raising an eyebrow she said "and, is WayneTech doing that?" as she hit a few more keys bringing up Flight Tables, and Private Jet information.

I wheel into the computerbase at the Clocktower and am surprised to find Dinah sitting there on the swivel chair typing away.

My lips curve into a smile, "Ah. So you live Dinah. Long time no see!"

I wheel into the computerbase at the Clocktower and am surprised to find Dinah sitting there on the swivel chair typing away.

My lips curve into a smile, "Ah. So you live Dinah. Long time no see!"

Dinah leaned back in the chair, tilted her head towards the ceiling and looked at Babs, her long hair cascaded along the chairs back.

"Hello stranger! Still a redhead I see, nice to know nothing has changed. It's been pretty quiet around here" she said standing up.

"But, I think I have a mission."
She said clicking a button, transfering all the data and information on the WayneTech bombings, Digger Harkness and the e-mail Bruce had gotten onto the large screen on the wall.

Covering the comm she asked "What do you think? Babs, I don't want to go into this on the wrong side, even if the wrong side is some weirdo named Captain Boomerang. He seems more like Flash's type." She said tilting her head to the side, rather like a sparrow.

She glanced at Babs, who seemed to be a mixture of glowing youth and haggerd night owl. "What's she been up too?"

 

[Spike_x1]

The Parasite reeled away from Superman momentarily. He almost burst out laughing again. Despite Kal-el's efforts, the kryptonian's abilities were weakening the longer they spent time fighting. The Parasite had already stolen enough of his speed to easily manuever around Superman and quickly drain short bursts of his energy.

Rudy blew a blizzard of super breath at Superman, flash-freezing him for an instant. However, that instant allowed the Parasite to grab Superman into a headlock and continue draining his life force.

OOC: Plus, Zoom's speed negates any "fairness", unless he wants to go on fighting skill alone.

[OOC]Lol, that is what we agreed to. Although I'm unsure of his fighting capabilities, but since he's in the FBI I'm gonna give him some experience.[/OOC]

 

[RoseRedStrauss]

Robin laying on the ground blood coming from his chin dazed as Zoom comes toward him.

Zoom:Just pathetic
Robin:I AM NOT PATHETIC!

Robin lashes out a punch into the lower stomach using all of his strength

OCC: I'm not done yet

"GAh!" Zolomon coughs out, as Robin catches him by suprise.

*Hunter stumbles backwards slightly, clutching his stomach. It had been awhile since he actually used his skills from the FBI. He wiped the saliva from his mouth only to find Robin round housing his face. This time, blood came out as well.*

"You little *****." Zoom exclaims as he wavers to stand still.

*Another attempt at a roundhouse is made, but Hunter catches his leg, only to discover Robin using his momentum to kick Zolomon to the side w/ his other leg.*

"*****er!"

*Unfortunately for Robin, Zoom's grip does not loosen on his foot, and he plants a fist into the Boy Wonder's stomach.*

"Please tell me you can do better. I would expect a disciple of the bat to be a formidable foe."

*He then lets go of Robin's leg. A bit suprised, Robin stumbles backward only to find Hunter's fist*

"Show me"

*Punch*

"SHOW me"

*Punch*

"SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT!" Hunter yells out with a final punch to the stomach, causing Robin to fly backwards.

"GET UP! NOW!"

"GET UP! NOW!"

Robin struggles to get up but was given the curtisy of being picked up by Zoom.

Robin:Now to get even

Robin hit his utilty belt

woooooooooooooooooo............wooooooooooooooooo....woooooooooooooo

Zoom dropped him his eyes screwed up in agony.

Robin pulled out some smoke genades and threw them. Zoom was trapped in a ring of red smoke.

Robin: My mentor told me to rule by fear not death. A robin is very diffrent from a bat. It can get its prey in its own way. By the end of this day you will fear me.

OCC: It was the only way to save myself.

IC:Barb Gordon

I cannot help but grin mischeiviously, "Dinah...I can't believe I let you out of this!"

Wheeling my chair next to her, I lift up my leg a bit.It still hurts and the muscles feel all weird but I cannot help it. Her blue eyes widen tremendously and she gasps in shock as I burst into heartfelt laughter.

 

[MST3K 4ever]

As Lex sat in the "panic-room" he began to fall asleep when he opened his eyes he saw a man in the room with him. Wearing a fine Italian businees suit and dark glasses. Lex froze for a moment when he heard the man say, "Fear not Mr. Luthor I bring you greetings from my master Ras-Al-Goul."

Lex replied, "Ras...this is about Igor Krovenenku isn't it?'

The man replied, "Yes it is. My master is grateful to you for this information rest assured that this infidel is being dealt with as we speak. My master is curious as to how you got this information."

Lex said, "Well let's just say that my people are well connected. We tend to look for weak spots in a rival and we take care of them."

The man nodded and said, "As I stated my master is grateful to you and if you have any more information to please feel free to share it with him, and know that you now have an ally in Ras-Al-Goul."

Lex nodded and blinked. He began to speak when suddenly he realized once again he was all alone.

 

[nixonbat]

Digger was very pleased with himself. Though he hadn't made any money on the job, he couldn't help but smiled as he watched the flames consume the WayneTech complex, with the occasional explosion of the more flammable products erupting plumes of flame into the night sky. Sirens began to fill the night air, but Digger couldn't leave the sight. He felt rooted to the ground as he watched his actions play themselves out.

A warm feeling of pride swept through him. He had done this job on pure guts and ability. No gimmicks, just pure skill. He considered it to be a testament to his true manhood. Proof that he had what it takes, even without his trick boomerangs. No, this time it was all Georgie boy and no gimmicks...and the results were HUGE.

As the response teams set up their floodlights while dealing withe fires, Digger finally decided it was time to leave the scene.

He fell asleep that evening with a self-satisfied smile. He had rented a very nice suite and had the luxuries and amenities a man of his station deserved. He slept the sleep of a man who knew he was full and satified inside. A man of honor.

TO BE CONTINUED.......

OOC: Bring it Dinah.... It'll be a pleasure to actually interact with another player. Seriously.

 

[Spike_x1]

The Parasite had won! Superman was drained and broken in his hand.

“How does it feel to be beaten by a JANITOR?!”

Rudy Jones looked into Superman’s bloodshot eyes and was surprised to see that the kryptonian was still not willing to back down.

“Oh GIVE UP, Smallville!”

The Parasite cradled Kal-el’s head in the nook of his arm and began draining him for a final time.

“What else do you have to live for? Even with your thoughts running through my brain, I cannot figure out why you still think you can beat me. You don’t even have enough strength left in you to lift your own arms, let alone throw another punch. Just let go. Let it all go dark.”

The parasitic monstrosity lifted his massive arm to deliver the ultimate punch that would cave in the alien’s skull.

“You’ve got nothing left, Kent. I’ve taken the Planet. I’ve taken your powers. I’ve taken your memories. Hell, I’ve even taken your wife.”

The Parasite threw his fist at Superman as he spoke his good riddance to Superman.

“I’ve taken EVERYTHING!”

Then, before the fist could connect with Superman’s face, the Parasite fell.

 

[RoseRedStrauss]

"HAHAHA!! Well Boy Wonder, I'll admit to you this was quite a suprise. It's been awhile since I've been maced. You seem to forget that I'm a profiler, I'm trained to take this *****, to keep all the information I hold."

*Zolomon makes out a shadow outside the red fog.*

"Oh, and one more thing...You Cheated. Pathetic! Robin. I wasn't aware heroes cheated. But if there's anything I know when I make a contract is that if the other side breaks." Hunter breaks out into a deadly smile. "Then I can too."

*An invisible punch into Robin's stomach sent him flying backwards...straight into Hunter, who then smashed both his fists into Robin's head, sending it flying into the floor.*

"I was trying to help you Robin, and you had to go along and break the rules. You'll be sorry boy, oh, you'll be sorry."

“I’ve taken EVERYTHING!”

Then, before the fist could connect with Superman’s face, the Parasite fell.

I should be dead. Parasite was beating the crap out of me, and then he just fell, as if he had died. Maybe he had absorbed too much power for his physiology to handle, and he burnt himself out completely. He looks dead, lying there, unmoving. I can't say I'd feel bad if he was. After all, I might have had to kill him to stop him, like what had happened with Doomsday.

I look at Parasite's body and think, What now?

 

[FrantikMagik]

*Hal glows and rushes towards Parasite but stops himself*

"He'll just suck the energy out of my ring. Gotta think of something..."

*Spots Kalibak rampaging through the streets*

"Crap. I guess I have to take care of Kalibak."

*Kalibak rampages through the city and notices Hal Jordan up in the sky*

"Green Lantern! You are mine!"

*Kalibak leaps into the sky and into Hal Jordan*

 

[Spike_x1]

Rudy Jones managed to turn over onto his back, facing upward into Superman's eyes. He struggled to speak the words that followed.

"All those voices shouting in my head. It was a bit too much to handle. I guess my eyes were a tad bigger than my stomach, huh... Smallville?"

The Parasite had transformed into Lois Lane. Her tear-filled eyes spoke the words that Superman wanted to hear: She was actually the real Lois. Her consciousness was speaking through Rudy Jones.

"It's me, Clark. I- I just want you to know, whatever they might've done to me, whatever they've done to you, don't give up. There's always something to strive for, to fight the good fight for. Don't sink to their level. You're so much better than they are."

Lois Lane gasped her final breath and cried.

"Clark, I love you."

Slowly, Lois closed her eyes and shifted back into the form of the Parasite. the purple body dried up and was turned to dust. The wind swiftly blew the dust into the skies.

Two people who had made such an impact on Clark Kent's life were now swept away. One life was a simple janitor who only wanted respect throughout his own meaningless existence. The other life was a beautiful and adventurous reporter who had an indescribable bond between herself and a man from beyond the stars.

It was their final goodbye.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: DAMN. Spike, you up-staged all of us there!
