(Alright Fakey, cool your jets, the next part is now up! But you better get comfortable, this is a long one. My newest longest post ever. Enjoy.) Artie started to stir in his sleep. His eyes cracked open and flooded with light. Quickly the flood coalesced into 3 spheres in his vision. They were connecter to flouting anglerfish, which hovered over the boy in what looked like concern. Artie, a bit confused, turned to evaluate the environment he was in. he looked straight at a wall. Well that no help. The other side reviled Man-X sitting on the floor, nose in a book that was illuminated by 2 more anglers on each shoulder. In fact, the room was filled with the fish. It was like a deep-sea aquarium. Some swam lazily, while a few circled another man, sleeping haphazardly in a chair next to a desk. A bit more focus reviled that it was the same guy from yesterday, the one they saved. “So the Hollywood 10 were a group of shape shifting actors suspected to be soviet spies? Interesting.” Man-Xs sudden aloud thoughts drew Arties attention back. He tried to sit up, but a piercing head pain sent him back to the pillow. Man-X heard this and closed the book in favor of checking up on the child. “Hey kid, you ok?” “Ya, I think so.” He tried to get up again, this time with much more success. “What happened?” “The girl from the med lab K.O.ed us. She seemed to take a particular liking to you.” Man-X started to joke, knowing there wasn’t anything wrong. The memories started to flood back any Artie shivered a bit. “She…she flooded my mind with…with these images. They were…terrible.” Man-X wrapped an arm around Artie for comfort. “It’s ok. She’s locked up now. She can’t do anything to you. And you had a part with that, with that skull snake thing you made.” Artie blushed very slightly as he remembered the last of the events. “I was trying to make a rope snake, but…when I’m scare, or in danger, I can lose control of my creations. The horror she put my mind through must have warped my drawing.” “Well look on the bright side, you can bust that thing out next Halloween.” That managed to get a laugh out of Artie. “I suppose that explains the fish to.” Man-X regarded the floating creatures. “It also happens when I sleep, sometimes” “Like your own personal nightlight” Artie blushed a little more. Man-X smirked, realizing he hit the nail on the head. “You were being pretty brave Artie. A lot of kids wouldn’t be able to handle even being in a situation like this, let alone fight back.” Arties mood changed again. “But, I was so careless. I didn’t realize the danger I was in. that flash of horror was a wakeup call. I see now that I shouldn’t have been so dumb.” “So dumb? No. You shouldn’t think like that. Sure, you didn’t make the best decisions, but your still learning. You just need to keep at it, keep improving, keep on keeping on. You have the makings of a great hero in you.” Man-X said in a bit to cheer him up. And it worked. Artie offered him a little smile to show that his confidence had been raised. That moment, however, did not last long, for a cry soon blasted it’s way around the room. The duo spun around to see Stan at the final stretches of his fall off of the chair and to the floor, a group of fish idling next to where his head used to be. Man-X and Artie couldn’t help but laugh as the poor man got his bearings. “Hey Stan, you still goy that box of cereal? I think we all deserve a good breakfast.” “Um…ok” Stan shakily said. He had been through too much the past day. The three grouped around the table and started their day with a balanced meal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The city was just starting to wake after another peaceful slumber. Any movement seen was at a sluggish crawl, as speed had been a foreign concept for the past few hours. A car drifted at a calm pace over the bridge, the driver still uneasy about having to leave his dreamland. Only once over the bridge did that change. KABOOM!!! The driver was rocked around inside his vehicle as he screeched to a halt and, along with the growing number of people in the area, tried to figure out what the bloody hell just happened. The underbelly of the bridge was engulfed in flame, and it seemed as if the structure was sinking into the river. It inched lower and lower until suddenly, it plummeted downward and disappeared into the waters. A few minutes and a distance later, the scene repeated itself, both of the connections to the outside world lost in an instant. On the rooftop of one of the larger building in the city, 2 figures looked over the blazing fruits of there labor. Or, at least one was. The other was on the ground, desperately trying to catch his breath. A single voice filed their minds. Excellent work Tobias, Mestavse. You have proven yourselves worthy. the mysterious voice said. Told ye I still 'ad it. Tobias thought, only slightly worn-out from this attack. Indeed, you're doing much better then he is. Hey! Do you know how hard it is to teleport fire? Didn't think so. Mestavse retorted. You will learn to overcome your weakness with time. For now, return to me. But I'm jest gittin' started! What of city hall? we have that covered my demonic comrade. once we have evaluated your friend, we will find you all a task. Fine. he begrudgingly agreed. Mestavse sighed, realizing he would have to exert himself more and, in a flash, the 2 were gone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We cut to the mayors’ office where said head official is signing some paperwork when an executive bursts in. “Mister mayor, mister mayor! It’s a travesty! Both of the bridges out of the city have been destroyed!” “WHAT!!! When did this happen?!” “Just a few minutes ago sir. It appears that they were blown up.” “Quickly, someone get me the National Gua-” the door to the office was forcibly kicked in. a man with a large gun walked in and pointed it at him, followed by 2 more men and 2 chimps who did the same. “You won’t be doing anything of the sort, mayor” The streets were filled with people running from the advancing armies, who occasionally fired randomly to keep the crowds afraid. Units from the invasion were already advancing on josephs base, communicating with each other without having to say a thing. There are many inside the base. Apes. Really smart apes. This is to be expected. I’m sensing others. Some supers. They shouldn’t be there. A minor inconvenience. Capture them. They could be useful. As these troops advanced, the voice moved to address another body across the forest, standing in front of a high-tech camping tent. Inside that tent rests one of the most loyal soldiers America has ever seen. He calls himself Blood. There is no hope of converting him to our cause. He must be eliminated. the voice said. It will be my pleasure. the man in the forest thought. Besides, I still owe him a fight. Prove yourself worthy, Viktor. The voice went away, leaving Viktor isolated in the forest. "Good morning Blood. Hope you enjoyed yesterday's sunrise. Because it is now a Red Dawn." He formed an orb of light around his fist and fired it at the tent. (Looks like we're in for a wild ride. Good luck, everyone.) |

(Blood doesn't have a tent. It's an armored block of metal. Think of it as a trailer.) The sudden surge of energy caused the shape that had entered Blood's room to begin whirring, the motors, engines, and generators sparking to life. The shape shot up, looking out one side of some one-way transparent metal. Someone was attacking. He looked to the other. Snatching up the still sleeping Blood, the giant robot punched a hole in the wall that led to the insulated garage. He placed Blood next to his bike and made his way out of the metal bunker. His eyes lit up electric blue as he looked down at the Ukranian bulb. "Threat Identified: Victor. Soviet Bulb. Scanning for intent." The metal bug fired off a series of pings, using echolocation to obtain information. "Intention: Killing of Bloodrunner." The metal bug moved all four arms into various positions, raising up two sets of wings covered in solar panels, his fingertips and abdomen tip sparking with electricity, the whirring sound growing louder. "Sub-Objective 1: 'Cover Blood's ass' in progress. Electrocutioner Mode: Active." He took a fighting stance. "Query: WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?" (If anyone needs to know what Bugzapper's voice sounds like, listen to 'Robot Rock' and 'Harder Better Faster' by Daft Punk. When they say 'Rock, robot rock.' or list of the words in 'Harder Better Faster' you've got an idea of what he sounds like.) Edited by Fakey, Jun 17 2012, 03:31 PM.

The lights in the Mayor's office flickered, the shadows twitched and swirled at each flicker. A strange grating noise could be heard around them. Suddenly one of the mayor's aides was missing, instead a pair of bloodied feet remained, in the corner of the celing the rest of his body was held by a dark seething mass of tendrils. Blood gently dripped down onto the floor... |

The men sensed the absence of one mind and the appearance of another. But when they tried to probe the newcomer, twisted forms and nightmares flooded them. They shook it off and pointed their guns. "State your name, intention and...whatever the hell you are." |

A man dropped from the ceiling, he let out an unearthly scream before running to one of the soldiers. 'Please! For the love of mercy help! And run away!' The lights flickered again. Another soldier exploded in a founatain of gore. Now many of the shadows in the room twisted. A voice filled the mayors head. It rasped and clicked with every word. 'I have a proposition for you. I will get rid of these attackers for you... if tonight you turn off the cities generators. When you awake in the morning they will no longer be a... threat....' |

(i think he made the room dark.) Alert! Hostile inside sector Alpha! It's in the mayor’s head. It’s trying to ally him agents us! 2 more ape solders swung in from the windows and the hall out side the door was soon filled with men and apes. The mayor only heard, If you agree to this deal, we will not hesitate to shoot you dead on the spot! |

(No I meant this coming night... and morning. T-rex are these apes using psychic abilities?) One of the swinging apes was suddenly grabbed, various tearing sounds could be heard as the lights continued to flicker. Suddenly one of the large chandeliers fell crashing down to the floor. One corner of the room was left in pitch black. |

(The men are. The apes are meat puppets.) The men moved away from the dark corner of the room, unfazed as the ape is ripped apart. We wish not to fight you, creature. What is it that you want? We may be able to supply it for you. |

Kate stirred. Then Harriet awoke, and checked the sensors but all was fine. Deep in Katie's mind, her subconscious roared, attempting to break the shackles of the inhibitor. Katie twitched and gave a gasp, startling Harriet, who woke up Benjamin. Suddenly the readings went of the scale. The inhibitor sparked and the two where plunged into nightmare. Harriet instantly went into a coma. Benjamin though, did not get out so lucky. Things twitched in his mind, turned off, messed with. He reverted into an animal but not much of one. He lay there, twitching, hardly thinking. The old, human Katie had died now and all that was left was a monster, in the truest of senses. The snake thing perceives her actions as a threat and starts squeezing, squeezing so hard it fractures a rib. Katie screams and rolls onto the floor, making her cry in pain.

(I don't think you can kill her, Watcher. you need Russes permission to do that. also, I don't think the snake would squeeze that hard, but given that it's a spine, it would probably still hurt.) |

(...Um...is everyone else Ok with this?) The men hesitated. Then one ape walked forward and allowed himself to be the conduit for the beast Tell him. Tell him what you want. Edited by trex841, Jun 17 2012, 05:52 PM.
