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

[Supergirl]

His precision was as accurate as ever as the Ravager loaded her sniper rifle with the Kryptonite bullet and shot it straight for Supergirl. Hopefully Kara's rage and confusion would keep her occupied long enough. The bullet was not aimed at any vital organs, as Deathstroke coughed up a last bit of respect for the fact that he and the Shade had killed her boyfriend. He stood behind his daughter, his protegé, and let her take the shot. She would be the heir to the Wilson legacy.

Seeing Mordru in trouble in Keystone from the Tower of Fate, Slade immediately teleported away to a rooftop near the fight while the Shade picked up Scarecrow. The Terminator did not resolve to stick around for long, seeing that he and his daughter could hardly live for long against the Superman family.

Pulling herself from the crater she created, she realized she still had Bart's lended speed, as time continued to move slowly around her. Mordru still vanished off the horizon almost instantly. What in the hell? I hit him that hard? I must have really caught him off gurad. She heard the shot fired from the rifle in slow motion. Catching only a glimpse of orange and black, she immediately assumed Slade. She punched out as the bullet approached her. Her fist gushed blood as the bullet spun away doing almost no damage. "FasterthanaspeedingbulletSlade!"
She could feel herself starting to slow down. The speed lend must be wearing off, 'Bart' did say that it was only going to be temporary. What the hell is going on with him though, how is he helping me like that? She took off toward the source of the shot. She started pounding the holder of the rifle into submission, not noticing that it wasn't Slade. A fragile jaw shattered and Ravager's good eye went blind. This doesn't feel right. Its A fist hits the chest of the young girl, breaking three ribs. Not Slade! It doesn't matter, he took someone I loved I'll take someone he loves! Again Bart's image materialized in front of Kara. "Kara, calm yourself. The girls not responsible! This isn't what Kal would want to see is it? Don't resort to their tactics. Be a hero Kara, please, for me." The image faded, and Kara pulled her fist back. This should be the last punch. She's barely breathing now and at the very least brain damaged. She started to bring her fist down. Wait, this isn't what I want. I'm not one of them. I can't be one of them. I WON'T BE! She stopped her fist mere millimeters from Rose's face. Dropping the girl's near lifeless body she flies off out of Keystone, and away from the Earth.

 

[Harlekin]

Seeing his daughter fall broken to the ground, Slade screams out in righteous fury as he cradles her body. The death of the heroes was about to consume his thoughts but the nagging image of his daughter's limp body in his arms after Supergirl's attack on her invaded his every mind. It had just been a test, a test that he had failed as her father.

For the last few weeks she had been nothing but an object to him, a means to an end. Deep down, he knew he loved her more than anything in the world. He, a villain, capable to feel such love for another dumbfounded Slade Wilson, as he made his immediate transport to the Tower of Fate.

Undoubtedly, the serum's induced healing factor would take care of her wounds as he put her down on the bed, and he performed any kind of medical aid that he could. He had been this way only once before, when Arsenal had attacked him and his daughter, when she also threatened to gasp out a final breath in his arms.

He would not stand for it. He would kill Supergirl like he had killed Arsenal as rage finally caught up and started to consume his every being. He had done all what he could for her, as she lay there, stirring, her body trying to mend.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

“Why, Batman…I sense a great mystical power brimming within you. Wherever did you get the upgrade?” Asks the Dark Lord in a curious tone as a wide smile grew on his face.
Mordru floats up into the air, and, with a wave of his hand, opens a portal. From out the portal flow a horde of fire demons, screaming maniacally as they enter the mortal plane. The demons begin to burn the countryside and kill every living thing they can get their hands on. A few dozen of them move to attack the Batman.

 

[Twitch]

I was tiring fast, I was about to go under when I felt someone grab me and pull me out of the fight. It was Conner.

"We have to retreat." he shouted

"Alright, back to the Watchtower."

 

[Batman]

I'm making my rounds around Keystone, doing my thing, saving lives. Gotta thank Barry and Bart. Without them this would be damn near impossible. It's taking all my energy right now to right these wrongs. Burning buildings, escaped convicts, demented, murderous clowns. The list goes on and on. Anything can and has happened here in Keystone City. Anything.

Speaking of which, that's when I see something that literally brings me to a screeching halt. Two huge black bulls go ripping through this building and others and pretty much make my day worse. Just another problem to fix right? Some guy's strange, nightmarish fear of bulls right? That's what I thought till I saw someone all too familiar sink into the ground. Mr. Peanut's cousin himself, Shade. His presence alone meant something was up. More screwy than usual anyway.

Not wasting a second I rush through the buildings grabbing people as I go. Women and children first of course but at this speed it makes no difference. All that matters is that I get everyone somewhere safe and the hospital is only 3 blocks from here. I'm not sure if it's the safest place but at least they'll be away from these beasts. That's when I get to the last house.

Who'd a thought I'd be the one saving these guys' asses? Who'd a thought these guys would even NEED saving farless from me? The two last 'helpless citizens in danger' were Dick Grayson aka Nightwing (dressed up as ears himself) and the Martian Manhunter. This of course all goes through my head in less than half a second so I waste no time grabbing them one at a time and bringing them out of danger. J'onn needs to ease up on the manwhiches. I had to drag him out cape first.

I bring them out to the middle of the street instead of the hospital. This city is gonna need all the help it can get.

"You guys alright? Where's Canary? She okay?"


EDIT: God that was alot of spelling errors.

What the hell just happened? Dick asks himself.

He looks up,to see a certain red clad figure with lightning bolts on his head.

"About time."Dick whispers,considering Wally hasnt answered his comm all night.

Dick soon finds himself in a street,with Wally and J'onn.

"You guys alright? Where's Canary? She Okay?"

Dick puts his head down.

He shouldnt say anything......but,then again.....He SHOULD.

He clenches his fists,and looks up at Wally.

He shakes his head,indicating "No".

Wally looks at him,confused.

"Shes gone."Dick says,getting straight to the point.

"Mordru murdered her."He continues,putting his head back down.

"That son of a b**ch murdered her."Dick says,angrier.

 

[Savage]

"...*sighs*...It never ends does it?...The death I mean...Right now anyone and everyone can go at any minute...Canary and I didn't exactly throw sleepovers but...from what I've heard, and what I could tell anyway...she was a hell of a woman...and...well...it sucks for her to go so soon...Now I could sit her and sulk with you...wheep till my eyes roll out...but...something tells me that's not what she would want...

Linda's death taught me that no matter how hard you try, no matter how fast you can move...you can't save everybody...Anybody could go at any minute without warning and when that happens, not just to us heroes but to anybody...You just have to lift your head up and keep fighting for those who are alive. Those who are still here...Now...We can either sit here and ball till our eyes are red and our voices are hoarse and let the city burn down around us...or...we can use that emotion to better us. Make us more determined. Make us stronger. Strong enough to stop all who are dumb enough to think they can step foot on this planet and take it without expecting a fight..."

With that I stretch my hand out to him...

"...They still need our help."

 

[The Question]

The Grey Man's Island

"Constantine, get me to Keystone City."

"what am i a ****ing taxi service Alright. But after this I'm done."


In a flash, we're in Keystone. Constantine colapses to the ground. I see Nightwing and The Flash and walk over to them.


"Need any help?"

OCC Great post

Hes right.

Dammit.....Hes right.

Nightwing could moan and groan all he wants.......but it wouldnt change a damn thing.

There are people who need us.

I grasp his hand,shake it,and nod accordingly.

"Your right,Wally.They do need our help......and they're gonna get it,starting now."Dick says.

The Grey Man's Island

"Constantine, get me to Keystone City."

"what am i a ****ing taxi service Alright. But after this I'm done."


In a flash, we're in Keystone. Constantine colapses to the ground. I see Nightwing and The Flash and walk over to them.


"Need any help?"

"Good timing."Dick says,turning to The Question.

"Still wearing that f**king monkey suit,eh?"Constantine mentions.

"We have bigger things to worry about."Dick says,glancing at him.

"Mordru,Superman,and I believe Kyle Rayner are fighting.Meanwhile,there are people dying in those burning buildings.We have to save them,before anything else.Superman and the others can deal with Mordru,for now."Dick says,sounding a little like Bruce.

"Lets do this."

"Alright. We should help any survivors. Hopefully our plan will work and Mordru will be beaten by the time we're done.

 

[Savage]

"Shade's bulls are still wreaking havoc though. I've taken on The Shade before. I can take care of his drones. They're stopped from causing anymore death and chaos first and then we deal with those that can be saved. This is going to be difficult but can you guys handle the people still inside the buildings?"

 

[The Question]

"I live in Hub City. He's from Gotham. We're used to working in war zones."

 

[The Question]

I was tiring fast, I was about to go under when I felt someone grab me and pull me out of the fight. It was Conner.

"We have to retreat." he shouted

"Alright, back to the Watchtower."

OOC: Ummm, Conner's dead.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

OOC: He probably meant Conner Kent, not Connor Hawke.

 

[The Leaguer]

OOC: Actually, I think it's Connor Hawke.

 

[batnkevlar]

"Bruce, this is not the time. I have some asskicking to do. I think you're more than capable in the willpower area. I have some Vengeance that needs to be dealt out. Hal out."


*As I fly across town, I see Scarecrow in the distance, swinging around his scythe, laughing maniacly. This assh*le's going down.

I sock him in the jaw once, hoping to break it. Either that or his neck.*

*I grab the Scarecrow's head and put him in a headlock.*

"Ring, browse through the uiniverse's worst tortue devices please. Something like Manaan's Four-Fingered Damnation. "

~For what sir?~

"For Jonathan Crane, who do you think?"

~Jonathan Crane is undetectable, sir~

"If you're not gonna do what I said, then ***** it."

*I break the Scarecrow's scythe in half, and I wrap my hands around his head. Heralding back to my old days, I apply the necessary force and Scarecrow's neck snaps, twisting his head almosty all the way backwards.

I stand above his dead body, as I can see blood soak his burlap mask.*

~Sir...~

"Now what the hell do you want?"

~I have taken your hallucinogenic frequencies in your brain and shall emit a wave to counteract it.~

*When I look back at Crane, his body was deteriorating. As he faded away, like a nightmarish dream, ring managed to sum up everything.*

~Sir, it seems like the One True Green Lantern has found his fear.~

 

[SuperFerret]

Kyle and I were still struggling with Mordru's dragons when Kara came almost out of nowhere and punched the mage, sending him flying over the horizon.

We had finished off the last dragon as her fist exploded, and I wasn't fast enough to stop her from injuring Slade's daughter, or from flying away from Keystone. "Damn it." I say, trying to catch up, but somehow she's become much faster than I could ever be, and I quickly lose her.

I go back down to Keystone, and catching a glimpse of a red costume, I meet up with Wally and Dick.

"...This is going to be difficult but can you guys handle the people still inside the buildings?"

"I live in Hub City. He's from Gotham. We're used to working in war zones."

"While they're doing that, would you like some help, Wally? I'd also like to be briefed on what just happened with everyone, and how the Watchtower was destroyed."

 

[The Question]

OOC: Batnkevlar, you should write Green Lantern

 

[Tropico]

Shade turns around as Deathstroke 'ports in. He sees the man hunched over and moving switftly, yet steadily. He catches a glimpse of the Ravager in his arms. He follows him, but keeps a distance and waits until Dathstroke has tended her wounds. He makes a gesture asking for permission to see Ravager and Slade accepts. He looks at her, and there's a softness in his eyes. He touches her hand, as if to make sure of the reality of the situation, and shakes his head sadly.

"For all I've done, children really shouldn't be part of this imbroglio. It's a pity your daughter was treated this way, as hypocritical as it may sound coming from my lips."- Shade takes his hand away and starts pacing. "Jack Knight and I once talked and he told me that the "old hero guard" commented on the newer villains and, in a way, the heroes. HE said that times had changed and that the villains no longer held back, that killing was more commonplace. They said that this gave birth to darker heroes. As is commonplace for those who are longer in the tooth, we're left yearning for "better days", as it was."

He stands sideways to Slade, his back to Ravager, as if seeing her was too much. Over his shoulder he speaks to the mercenary assassin- " I make no distinction about being a villain, no matter how many good, yet selfish, acts I might have commited. I know what I am. By the same token, I'm left to ponder what is this 'darker hero' breed? Is it someone who takes harsher methods to deal with the criminals? Is it someone who 'does what needs to be done'? Is it someone who TRIES to do good, but adjusts to the way people act in their time? I don't know what this 'new breed' is, but they scarcely sound like heroes to me. The one that did this to your daughter, is no hero. Stopping at not killing and leaving her in this state...that is no mercy or self-restraint. No, sir! This...this is pure sadism. If I were to be asked, this is OUR realm, not theirs. Whoever did this is no hero, indeed; they should be erased from this existence and end their travesty. Who is it you will be seeking revenge from?"

 

[The Question]

Keystone City

Nightwing and I help as best we can. We shift through thr ruble. We tend the wounded. We mourn the dead. All while the gods do battle. It makes me think of how small we all are in the grand scheam of things. Of how pointless our existances are. We are brough up. We are cut down. Is there any reason for any of it? I've always asked questions. I rarely have answers. The only answer I can think of: We never give up. We keep on fighting. We fight for what we beleive in. That's what gives our lives meaning. That's what gives the world meaning. hmm....

I see Nightwing strugleing to lift a wooden beam of a child. I go over and help him. Help him save a child's life. This is what gives us meaning. Giveing others meaning.


OOC: I was just feeling poetic.

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Batnkevlar, you should write Green Lantern

OOC: Thanks... I really appreciate it... though isn't Johns doing it right now?

 

[The Question]

OOC: I mean when he's done.

 

[The Last Meatbag]

I rush to Nightwing and the question to aid them. Man am I winded from those damn dragons. I see the two lifting a damn big beam, theres a child underneath, he looks frightened, about for I five years old I guess.

*shoots out forklift*
Nightwing and Question look back and I see a relieved look on there faces, well Nightwings at least
"Best thing I could think of"
They pull the child out from underneath.
I walk over and join them
" Man am I confused, I get a page on my league pager, and I see the Watchtower destroyed. Then I fly to help Superman against that dick Mordru, know I dont where Superman is. Any of you guys tell me what the hells going on?"..................

 

[The Question]

OOC: Technically, you can't see the look on my face.


IC:"Mordru has been leading an assault against us. His men atacked the watchtower. Connor, Black Canary, Kid Flash, and several others are dead. We were able to infuse Batman with the combined latient mystical energies of every liveing being on the planet. He and Mordru are fighting righ now."
