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

[Johnny Blaze]

“A sound idea. I shall retire to my throne room and scout out other potential allies.”
Mordru walks to the door to his throne room…and stops before entering. “Instead of sitting there waiting in this room for me to finish my search, why don’t you go out and scout around yourself? When I find a promising target, I will inform you mystically.”

 

[TheCorpulent1]

"Not a bad idea."

Black Adam headed through the door that led back to the Earth dimension and began flying around. He landed in many of the major cities. He spotted Deathstroke and the Shade talking in Bludhaven but left them to their own business. He passed through Star City and the newly rebuilt Coast City, but neither had anything going on. He swung by New York, but that was relatively quiet as well. It seemed as if the whole villain world had gone to sleep on him until he came to Metrpolis. He was surprised that Superman didn't stop him as he flew through the city; he'd heard that most villains couldn't last two minutes in Metropolis without Superman spotting them. He stopped at an electronics store as a news report on one of the monitors in its front window caught his eye. Apparently there was some kind of trouble going on in Keystone City.

Black Adam made his way to Keystone City where he finally found something going on. He dropped from the sky to a hover about 15 feet off the ground and watched the tail end of Mirror Master's bank robbery. Odd, Mirror Master was supposed to be one of the best, but he seemed off his game; you'd almost think he'd never even robbed a bank before. The Flash must have been out of the city at the moment, Black Adam reasoned, or he would have noticed this. As Mirror Master turned to run out of the bank, he stopped short as he saw Black Adam.

"Mirror Master, I presume. I have a proposition for you..."

OOC: Just in case you were wondering, rigel, that's you as Mirror Master, not the real one.

 

[Harlekin]

"Heh, always the same." Deathstroke said before Shade had taken off. When he reappeared, Slade had taken to leaning against a nearby wall, having waited a while. "I'm proposing that join me in the Dark Alliance, alongside Black Adam and Mordru. We will be able to weed out the heroes of this world, especially ones such as the one you just killed."

Standing up and approaching the Shade "Now surely, this is an offer you would refuse is it Shade? As for a place, we will be using the good old Tower of Fate as our headquarters.

"So, are you interested?"

 

[Tropico]

The Shade sighed deeply. "As a matter of fact I was looking for some excitement and the company of my...peers, as it is. I have to say, though, your salesmanship is deplorable. Really! How could you pitch something so important in this less that appropriate atmosphere? Fill me in on what you scoundrels have been up to...I surmise that Mordru has taken over Fate's ownership of the Tower?"

As they kept walking, Shade listened to Deathstroke's account and would offer to transport them to the Tower if needed.

OOC: Harl, you can bunny me to the Tower, no prob!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

OOC: That picture made me crack up after reading Harlekin's post.

He dropped from the sky to a hover about 15 feet off the ground and watched the tail end of Mirror Master's bank robbery.

Crap. Gotta fake a Scottish accent. "Black Adam. What are ye doin' here?" Faking suspicion, I drew my gun, as though that meant something to Black Adam. "What business have ye with the Mirror Master?"

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Black Adam chuckled as he floated closer and gently pushed his mirror gun out of the way. Adam had not heard many Scottish accents in his day, but he thought Mirror Master sounded... odd. But no matter. "My business is quite simple: I offer you the chance to leave these... insipid banalities," Adam indicated the bags of money Mirror Master held, "behind. Surely such trivial matters are below one of your stature. I offer you membership in the Dark Alliance, a confederation of those who would see the so-called 'heroes' wiped from the face of the earth. What say you?"

 

[rigel7soldiers]

"I'll say yes... but can I keep the money anyway? I'll leave it if it means that much ta ye..." I probably should have been thinking of what I should do once I got in... I'm sure I'll think of something, though... better do it quick. EM and Vigilante came out of the bank. I silently pocketed the Icicle's freeze gun and gave the signal for them to go to the JL. "They won't be able ta make it... but I don't think ye were lookin for them in tha first place"

 

[TheCorpulent1]

"Do what you will with the money. As for your friends, I suppose any help would have been appreciated, but they are not necessary. They do not possess your unique talents. If you're done here, we can return to Fate's Tower after just one quick stop. Are you ready?"

 

[rigel7soldiers]

I set the money down. "Alright, I'm ready. Where are we goin' first? Wait, wait... Dr. Fate's Tower? Ye have defeated Dr. Fate?"

 

[Harlekin]

"Had you expected anything different?" Slade gave a bit of a grin under his mask, as he grabbed the jewel from his pocket "This little gem here will take us right to them. We've recruited Ares, and there are now up and about recruiting others. With your help, we 'scoundrels' can do a lot of damage."

Thinking back to Fate's Tower, the two were transported right into the main room, which they found to be empty. Deathstroke surmised that both Mordru and Adam were out recruiting . "Sorry again for having to look you up in Blüdhaven there Shade, but it was the quickest way of getting to you. You'll have to excuse the accomadations here though. They are not always top notch. Make yourself comfortable nonetheless."

 

[Karem-Knight]

Two Face, Managed too Escape the Van but barley. He got up

“Where’s the bat? I burnt my tux for the easiest way too get out for him.”

Joker laid Beaten just then he heard sirens

“Come on you clown!” Harvey said

 

[Savage]

OOC: Might as well finish off my original story since I'm not needed yet. I mean Grodd and his own Justice League is a pretty big deal in itself.

IC:*I don't have time for this.*
Flash-"Ok, I'm outta here."
John Stewart-"But it's only been 20 minutes."
Flash-"That's too long. I can't stay cramped up in this house, I need to breathe! I'm headin back to Central. The people have probably been wondering where I've been. It's been good Mr. and Mrs. M. Thanks for the hotpockets."
Mr. Miracle-"Hey."
Flash-"?"
Mr.M-"*doing Vulcan hand sign* Live long and prosper."
Flash-"..."
Barda-"Ignore him. He's like this when we have guests."
Flash-"...oookaybyebyenow."
*I'm out of there in a flash and back in Central City. Home sweet home. Man, I haven't been here in a long time. Not since "the incident". But, my duties do come before my personal issues. No need to linger on past events until I go Batty(sorry for the pun). It's time to get back into action!--But first--*

Flash-"Luigi! Mah man!"
*I walk into Sbarro's high fiving the best damn Italian chef on the planet.*
Luigi-"Flash! Been a long time you mook! How's it hangin?"
Flash-"Low and steady."
*We both have a good laugh*
Luigi-"I'm sorry about what happened to Linda. That my friend was a lady."
Flash-"Don't worry about it."
Luigi-"Why if I got my hands on that yellow mamaluke, I'd show him how it was done back where I'm from."
Flash-"Yeah, Zoom would be shaking in his boots from your tanktops and baseball bats."
Luigi-"Hey! Why I oughta--"
Flash-"Just messin with ya man. Now how about that pizza I never finished."
Luigi-"Comin right up. You make yourself comfortable outside."

*I take a seat under one of his bright green, white, and now orange umbrellas and enjoy the sights. Man is it good to be back. Take a long needed break from all the activity. Kids comin up to my table for my autograph, old people smiling it me, chicks waving and blowin kisses. THIS right here is my town. I'm busy waving back when I turn around to see John sitting in front of me.*

Flash-"Woah! Jesus H. Christ! You scared the living crap out of me. How the hell'd you get here--"
JS-"..."
Flash-"--so...fast...?"
*John raises his power ring at me and everything slows down. It starts glowing green and I flip the table over on him and make a run for it. Leaving a mess of umbrellas behind me in my wake.*
*Luigi comes running out with two pizzas in hand*
Luigi-"What the?--Wh-who?
*John's getting up and cleaning himself off.*
Luigi-"YOU! I'M GOING TO--"
*John shoots through his chest as Luigi falls to his knees gasping for air and falls to his side unconscious, eyes still open*

OOC: Wow I suck with Italian dialogue.

 

[Savage]

*Run, run, run, run, run, run, run! Gotta warn the others. I'm about to call up the watchtower when my hand is swatted and I'm hooked and elbowed in the face, followed by an uppercut which sends me flying into the air and slamed hard on my back.*

*I look up to see, to my suprise, me standing over me!*
RoboFlash-"Well, well, well. Long time no see. Nice little move there with the rock to the head. Batman teach you that one?"
Flash-"Grodd the pitcher, you the catcher?"
RF-"Nice...Heads up."

*He's gone and I notice the famous red and blue blur coming towards me from the sky. I get the hell up and out of the way and he goes drilling through the street and flying back up through another end. I do what I do best and make a run for it. I may be faster but even I'm not dumb enough to go toe to toe big blue. Grodd's Wonder Woman comes speeding my way but thanks to a certain entity, I'm able to make a strong right turn with no problem and let em go crashing into each other. Superman rips her in half of course but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like hell. The sight itself shocks me which allows enough time for the green guy to get the drop on me and phase me into the street, head and limbs still sticking out*

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I set the money down. "Alright, I'm ready. Where are we goin' first? Wait, wait... Dr. Fate's Tower? Ye have defeated Dr. Fate?"

"Not personally; another of our allies did. You'll meet him eventually. First, I have something to take care of. You can travel through mirrors, correct? Meet me in Blue Valley, Nebraska. There's someone there I have an appointment with." Black Adam takes off and a distant boom signals his increasing speed, leaving no opportunity for Mirror Master's further questions.

 

[rigel7soldiers]

Blue Valley... Okay. I jumped into a window, and jumped out of a puddle in Blue Valley. What's in Nebraska? Stargirl. But Adam wouldn't, she's just a kid. Who else, Pat Dugan. And I can't stop Adam, either. It'll all be worth it though... He must've seen me, he stopped in midair and lowered himself to the ground.

 

[Savage]

*He appears on the other side looming over me along with John, and my Mexican import as Superman comes flying overhead doing his little JC impression, eyes glowing red. They all just smirk and I definately know what's coming next. Grodd's not playing around this time. He doesn't care that I'm being killed. He doesn't even care that these guys are doing it in public. The people see the second Flash and they'll just think of me as some weird alternate universe space shapeshifter or something.*

Flash-"Not today folks!"
*I phase through the concrete and land in sewage. I come up gasping for air and coughing up freakin toilet water!*
Flash-"GLAK! AAAAAHAAAAAAAAAEWWWWW!!!!!"
RoboFlash-"KICK THE BABY!"
*I'm kicked right back up into the street into J'onn's arms, who swings me around by the leg and throws me at Superman who's standing ready to deliver the final blow. Like an idiot I frantically flap my arms, hoping to fly off I guess. Hey it works in cartoons. Lucky for me it produces enough air to slow me down to the point where both Supes and the martian just get frustrated and come charging at me.*

*I then let myself drop and let them collide into each other. The shockwave sends building shattering for about a 5 or 6 block radius and they both fall to concrete, heads IN their shoulders. Hell of a way to go. Not exactly what I planned but it'll do nicely.*

 

[rigel7soldiers]

OOC: I just realized that I'm setting myself up as Mr. Orange... does that mean I get shot?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: If you play your cards right, maybe.

 

[Harlekin]

Savage: Doesn't Flash phasing through the wall usually lead to uhm... the wall exploding?

 

[Savage]

*Okay, four down, 2 more to go. Funny. They were the ones brought down last time and yet they're the last to go down this time. GL Really isn't much of a match for me, unless he can think at lightspeed. I rush at him, dodging his blasts, until he puts up a huge wall instead, which of course I go slamming into. Now why didn't I see that coming? He forms it into a giant hammer and sends it flying down at me but I get up and get out of there in time to get the drop on him with a swift punch across the face which knocked him out cold. Better get that ring off.*

Flash-"You won't be needing this."
*As I reach down, I'm kneed so hard in the ribs that I'm sent flying across about 15 feet and landing on my face.*
RF-"Idiot. Told him you were mine to deal with. He couldn't beat me. What made him think he was going to beat you? *leans over the faux John, hand cupped over mouth.*You deserved what ya got ya dumb son of a b**ch!"
Flash-"Hey numbnuts!"
RF-"What?--Oh sh--"
*THWACK!!!*

*Sledgehammer. Hardware store. Zoom was good fer sumthin. Now back to John*
*I step on his hand and take the ring off. I try it on.*
Flash-"Hmm...Me a Green Lantern...Nah. Not my color."
*I take it off and put it in my belt. I take a seat on his chest and slap him around a bit to wake him up.*
Flash-"Rise and shine!"
*He's still a little groggy*
Flash-"Now I'm going to ask you a few questions which for your own good I suggest you give me some answers."

 

[Keyser Soze]

The Joker looked up at Two-Face. The sirens were getting louder.

"Heh heh, you're going to have to help me up, I'm afraid."

Two-Face helped The Joker to his feet, and the two of them staggered away into the woodland. Every step caused The Joker's back to burn in pain. Out of all the places, why did those batarangs have to hit him in the back? He was still recovering from two gunshot wounds to the back. Panting for breath, he looked across at Two-Face.

"Well Harv, who'd have thought we'd be depending on each other like this. HA HA! But let's get out of there. We need to get back to The Iceberg Lounge. I have some unfinished business with The Penguin."

 

[Savage]

Savage: Doesn't Flash phasing through the wall usually lead to uhm... the wall exploding?

OOC: Really? I just thought it left a hole in the shape of his body in his wake. I kept writing it like that and nobody's told me till now.

 

[Savage]

OOC: I just realized that I'm setting myself up as Mr. Orange... does that mean I get shot?

OOC: lol. Oh crap, I just noticed that.

 

[Harlekin]

OOC: Really? I just thought it left a hole in the shape of his body in his wake. I kept writing it like that and nobody's told me till now.

I could've sworn that Flash's phasing pretty much leads to the molecules being supercharged and exploding. Maybe this has changed recently, so somebody can be free to correct me.
