EV #72 - "Worlds Without End"

Post by GM Mad »

Eternal Vigilance #72 - "Worlds Without End"


It’s a world gone mad as multiple dimensions are appearing and overlapping everything within twenty miles of the Infinity Exports complex! Where there had been three merged dimensions, now there was six with many more duplicates appearing. When will this madness end? Not very soon!

Roll Call: Goldstar (1), Starlord (3), Tilt-A-Whirl (1), & Whirl-I-Gig (3) vs. Black Ice (2), Ice Queen (4), Stargirl (2), Sun Prince (4) Tesla (2) & Live Wire (4) and introducing: Guardian (5), Quazar (5), Quazon (5), Bedrock, (7), Engineer (7), and Halo (7).


Deep within the core of Infinity Exports new arrivals have appeared. Goldstar herself appeared along with a machine of some kind. Once the machine was activated, more people appeared. There was no a double of opposite gender for everyone present! The male Goldstar had a second machine and it merged with the first.

Some present are not happy to see the new arrivals. Stargirl and her male counterpart Sun Prince fire Radiation Blasts at the copies of their parents. Neither Goldstar nor Starlord try to avoid the attack. The teen’s aim is true, but their attacks do not harm their parent’s doubles!


Overhead, Tilt-A-Whirl has just met her male counterpart, Whirl-I-Gig much to their delight. They rush through the observation area and back down to the core where they have more room to move. The pair engages in intricate running patterns, as if they knew what the other was thinking. Both are laughing and giggling as they run.

Tesla discovers her male copy and they join hands, the electricity playing about them jumping back and forth.
Tesla wrote:"Oh, wicked!" Tesla cackles, and turns her attention to the speedster, no, now two of them. "Double the pleasure!" she says.
“Nasty!” Live Wire agrees. “Double the fun!”

Together, the electrical twins point their free hand at the speedster’s below. Blasts of electrical energy are fired, and yet again they miss the twin speedsters.

Up in the observation booth, Black Ice regards his female counterpart Ice Queen, while Darkstar and Star Emperor begin to regain their senses.

Back down on the ground, Goldstar and Starlord ignore the doppelgangers of their offspring. Instead they cry out, “Solar Flare!” Light explodes before the eyes of Tesla and Live Wire, forcing them to break contact and shield their eyes. The bright light has temporarily blinded them!


Close to Goldstar and Starlord, more people shimmered into existence. Next to these new arrivals were more machines and these machines merged with the other ones.

“You succeeded!” Goldstar compliments the new arrivals. “A pleasure to meet you face to face.”

“It wasn’t easy following your instructions,” a man in a red and white full body suit answered. “But I managed to piece it together. I’ll be damned if I know what this thing does! I’m Guardian and with me are the brother and sister duo of Quazar and Quazon. We’re part of the Nightwatch.”

Guardian indicates his companions, who are dressed in matching black body suits with a white starburst partner along their sides. Standing side by side, the starburst patterns merged into one.

“Well done,” Starlord tells the other new arrivals. “I only wish that it could be under more pleasant circumstances.”

These other three new arrivals are vastly different from each other. The largest was a tall man whose skin was seemingly made of stone! Beside him was a man wearing worker’s overalls with numerous tools. The last was a blonde haired woman with a fine figure in a black and gray bodysuit with a matching gray cape. A golden halo was emblazoned above her heart.

“The Engineer figured it out just fine,” the blond woman responded. “He’s the Engineer. My large friend is Bedrock, and you can call me Halo and we’re the Alliance.”

Roll Call: Flux (1), Flow (3), Menagerie (1), Changeling (3) Tesla (1), Lightning Rod (3) Eldrich Arcane (1), Eldritch Arcana (3), Frostbite (1), White Out (3), Gargoyle (1), Bombshell (3), Xanaphia (1), Purple Phlox (1), Purple Phlox (3), Powershift (1), Gem (3), Sea Guard (1) & Sea Sprite (3) vs. Flex (2), Reflex (4), Powerstone (2), Black Pearl (4), Sea Conqueror (2), & Sea Queen (4) & Introducing Monarch [8] & Wildfire [8].


Back in Downtown San Diego, it’s a full fledge war zone. The Vigilant were on their way to the Starr Building where they were ambushed by evil versions of Powershift, Flux, and Sea Guard. Those three seemed on the verge of defeat when suddenly opposite gender versions of everyone appeared!

Overhead, the duo of Menagerie & Eldrich/Changeling & Eldritch have blasted away their attacker, Sea Conqueror/Sea Queen. While the water falls and starts to take on human form, Menagerie in the form of Goldstar & Changeling in the form of Starlord let loose with another photon blast. The watery villains are unconscious before hitting the ground!


Down on the ground, Flex and ReFlex phase free from the grasp of Gargoyle and Bombshell. The tiny villains phase into the ground and move away. A small blizzard covers the area, thanks to the efforts of Frostbite and his female counterpart Whiteout.


Elsewhere, Powerstone and Black Pearl are on the ropes between a combination of attacks. Tesla and Lightning Rod fire off another electrical blast and in response Powerstone and Black Pearl go flying backwards and this time do not rise.

The fighting is seemingly over and the two groups start to converse. Flux and Flow talk and decide to split up their forces. But before the heroes can move out, reality shifts once more. Some of the ruined San Diego is gone, some of it looks like it should, and some of it is missing! A primitive medieval style hut appears close by in a wooded clearing. There is movement in the trees and men and women begin to approach.

Leading these people are two flying individuals. The first is a male wearing a golden outfit who seems to be very muscular. Flying with him is a woman wearing black, whose hands feet, and face are on fire!

The male speaks.

“Invaders! You will not find the lands of the Monarch and Wildfire easy pickings! In the name of the All-Father, attack!”

The people begin to rush from the tree line. A few fly, while others are firing blasts of energy!


Hero Status:

Flow: 26 of 32 STUN
Flux: 26 of 32 STUN
Lightning Rod: 46 of 60 STUN
Tesla: 46 of 60 STUN

Roll Call: Blackout (1), Midnight (3), Lavender (1), & Mauve (3) vs. Backlash (2), Recoil (4), Fenris (2), Twisterella (2), & Spinner (4) & introducing the Mechanonids (10)

And on a downtown rooftop, there is another skirmish taking place. Blackout has reached Lavender before the evil version of Backlash could and Twisterella spins free of the cable holding her. Then more folks appear, other dimensional versions of everyone here except that they are the opposite gender!

A large tentacle reaches up trough the hole in the roof and pulls the female Backlash back down! The male Backlash stands there, unsure just what to do.

Twisterella and her counterpart Spinner continue to move around like small tornados, flinging sharp objects at the enemy! Blackout moves off with Lavender in his arms. Midnight gestures towards the tornado twins and blackness engulfs them. Once Lavender and Mauve regain their wits, the teleporters move off Blackout and Midnight. The two couples appear on another nearby rooftop, within visual range of the first.

More realities merge into this one and it’s disconcerting to both Blackout and Midnight. Movement is noted and everyone notes that there are people approaching! But these are not normal humans. Instead, each has bits and pieces of machinery growing from their skin! They come closer to everyone, chanting the following!

“Join us organics! Become one with the Master!”


Hero Status:

Backlash (2): 32 of 47 STUN
Blackout: 36 of 39 STUN
Lavender: 11 of 30 STUN, 6 of 10 BODY
Mauve (3): 11 of 40 STUN, 8 of 10 BODY
Midnight (3): 36 of 39 STUN
Recoil (4): 32 of 47 STUN

Roll Call: Backlash (1), Ricochet (3), Stargirl (1) & Sunboy (3) vs. BlackOut (2), Dark Angel (4), Kumiho (2), & Skinwalker (4) & Introducing Hardware (6), Nemesis (6), & Tigereye (6).


At the Starr Building, Gloria Starr was just transformed into Stargirl for the first time. Kumiho and BlackOut came to attack them and during the battle more doubles appeared, this time beings of the opposite gender! Stargirl and Sunboy just unleashed their first Solar Flare and the bright light badly hurt BlackOut and Dark Angel, forcing them away from Backlash and Ricochet.

Edgar erected a force field to keep the invaders out, but the two Darkstar clones bashed it in. Now they no longer have any protection!

The two Darkstar clones exchange words and agree to act together. The female speeds into the room, shifting her density. She bowls over the two Dr. Williams in the process and grabs Stargirl and Sunboy! She grasps each of the children around the neck and drives them into the wall! The twins are stunned from the assault and cannot fight back!

The male Darkstar clone flies down the corridor and blasts Backlash with his Radiation Blast! The results are not quite what was expected! Backlash survives the attack and actually grows stronger from it!

“You should have hit me!” the female Backlash calls out. “I would have gladly taken the power up!”


Back in the office the male Dr. Williams helps the female one to her feet. Kumiho stands close by, grasping Stargirl and Sunboy by the neck against the wall. A nearby door opens and a trio of people step in. Leading they way is a young woman with brown hair plainly dressed.

“Dr. Williams?” the young woman inquires. “Are you all right? We heard a crash. What’s going on here!?”

As she finishes speaking the young woman morphs into the form of a black panther!

Behind the first woman is a young blond woman wearing a green and yellow bodysuit. She looks vaguely familiar, but her exact identity is currently unknown. (She does NOT look like Stargirl.)

Behind them is a young black man. As he see’s what is going on, his form shifts and he grows taller. Blackish metal covers his entire body! The trio of superpowered teens move forward!

Roll Call: Covenant (2), Areion (1), Serena (1), Serena (2), Turjess (2) & Turjon (4) & Introducing the Defenders of the Realm (11): Princess Gwendolyn, Steven of Harpersport, Helena of Kirby House, and Lord Benjamin and Lady Kristin of Grimm Keep.


And lastly in Horton’s Plaza, two sets of beings are conversing. The first was Serena and her brother Covenant. They were joined by Turjess who seemed to be interested in Serena’s offer of power that Covenant refused. But before any further words could be exchanged, more dimensions merged into this one and another trio appeared.

This time it was a chainmail clad Serena attempting to secure the aid of her brother Areion to battle the alternate Serena who had taken over the realm of their father, Tyrannon. Speaking to them was Turjon, a female sorcerer from yet another dimension.

The chain mail Serena called out for an attack open seeing her evil opposite. The black-clad Serena just smiled.

“Thulkos is mine! I don’t have time for these games!”

Reality shifts yet again, and much of Horton’s Plaza is gone. What remains is quite a puzzle! Some of the area is a light forest, while the rest of it is completely missing! In this void hang a few ribbons of matter and the light of eight suns shines through the void. Those who are familiar with this place, realize that it is the dimension of Thulkos mixed with some other dimension.

Riders approach through the forest. They are led by a silver haired mage dressed in royal red robes. Beside her is a man wearing leather armor and bearing a sword. Two armored knights are with them, one male one female. And lastly there is a dark haired woman also wearing leather armor.

“I demand to know what is going on here!” the silver haired woman calls out. “I am the Princess Gwendolyn of the Kingdom of Bawstan! You will answer me!”

GM Notes

Post by GM Mad »

GM Notes:
More dimensions have been added and all twelve are now in play. The numbers behind each characters name in the roll call refers to which dimension they are from. Here's the list of dimensions:

1. The regular game world.

2. Inverted version of the regular game world. Heroes in dimension 1 are villains in dimension 2.

3. Similar to the regular game world, except genders are switched. Male heroes in dimension 1 are female in dimension 3.

4. Inverted version of dimension 3. Heroes in dimension 3 are villains in dimension 4.

5. Alternate Earth with different heroes. Those appearing are some old characters I played or created long ago.

6. Alternate Q-Link Dimension where Nithia conquered the world. The three teens are members of that worlds Young Champions.

7. Alternate Earth with yet a different set of heroes, based on some idea’s I’ve been playing around with.

8. Blood Homeworld, where Azor took his children. Monarch was a blood character from the early Q-Link days, and Wildfire appeared in the Old Stuff.

9. Horror world. Dimension conquered by the Anopheles.

10. Dimension where Mechanon’s Technological Virus took over. The Technological Virus was featured in the early Crusaders posts on Q-Link.

11. Terra Nova.

12. Thulkos, the magical realm created by Tyrannon the Conqueror.

Flux

This is getting out of hand. I can't see who could benefit from all this chaos. I'll be sure to ask at Infinity Exports whose idea this was-after we arrest the lot of them.

Flux shakes his head ruefully, wondering if the instgators of this whole action had forseen the possible results or they were up to their necks in trouble too.

"Tesla, Menagerie, Eldrich-cover the air approaches! Frostbite, Sea Guard, with me on the ground. Powershift hit the deck behind us. Stay with Phlox. Recover."

We don't have time for this. More shifts means more chaos and more people to distract us. Time for a top-end negotiation.

Flux will expand to full size both to draw attention to himself and to meet Monarch eye to eye and talk directly with him, forstalling further hostilities . . .

Flow

This is getting out of hand. I can't see who could benefit from all this chaos. I'll be sure to ask at Infinity Trading whose idea this was-after we arrest the pack of them.

Flow shakes her head ruefully, wondering if the instgators of this whole action had forseen the possible results or they were up to their necks in trouble too.

Flux beats Flow with a set of orders by a half second.

"Tesla, Menagerie, Eldrich-cover the air approaches! Frostbite, Sea Guard, with me on the ground. Powershift hit the deck behind us. Stay with Phlox. Recover."
" 'Rod , Changling, Eldritch- same deal. Partner up with your counterparts. Cover each other. Whiteout, Sea Sprite, Gem, join the others at ground. I'm going airborne"

Got to cut this attack short. Time to negotiate from the top down.

Flow will fly up at Monarch in small size, right in his face, in an attempt to forstall further hostilities by talking directly to him.

Flex

This is a flop and a half! No way the Chief planned on this happening! I get clear of the snow and then we'll see what's what.

Flex moves out under the white covering, staying low. As a consequence, he gets to see Powerstone and Sea Conqueror dropped. Also two female versions of them dropped identically.

Ha. Tough guy. You had it coming. Now what's with the babes? Whose idea was that?

Flex keeps small and low, mulling possible chances to salvage the plan, listening to the conversations going on between all the others.

Huh. A female version of the other me. That suggests a female version of me around here somewhere. Possabilities . . .

Things hit the fan again as the world changes for the worse. Buildings vanish and trees appear, with new hostiles springing up to attack all and sundry.

Opportunity is knocking! I should be able to get Powerstone out of here under cover of this fracas. And the attack will delay them from reaching the Starr Building without risking my, er OUR necks any further.

Flex will make his way over to the fallen Powerstone, intent on spiriting him away at the first chance.

ReFlex moves out under the white covering, staying low. As a consequence, she gets to see Black Pearl and Sea Queen dropped. Also two male versions of them dropped identically.

Um, tough break there. What's with the extra guys? Some part of the plan not covered?

ReFlex keeps small and low, mulling possible chances to salvage the plan, listening to the conversations going on between all the others.

Hrm. A male version of the other me. That must mean . . . a male version of ME around somewhere.

Things hit the fan again as the world changes for the worse. Buildings vanish and trees appear, with new hostiles springing up to attack all and sundry.

A break for us! If I can reach Black Pearl and Sea Queen without being seen I might be able to get them out from under this mess yet. They'll owe me big!

ReFlex will make her way to the fallen Black Pearl and Sea Queen to salvage anything left of this plan.

Eldrich Arcane / Eldritch Arcana

Having stabilized his Amulet , Eldrich turns his attention to the events around him. All seems to be going well. The threats in the air and on the ground are neutralized, leaving all free to converse as they will.

Eldrich studies his counterpart, identical in every way but one-in gender.

[Arcane] "So, that is the other magical realm I Sensed. Yours. May I assume it is a realm of Fragments, made inhabitable by the power of Runeplaques? And that your personal memories are blocked by a Curse?"

[Arcana] "Yes, on all counts. These people have befriended me after I recovered my self to some degree. I in turn assist them as needed. It has worked to our mutual advantage. I presume it is the same for you?"

[Arcane] "Yes, indeed so. This realm is deficient in magic which lessens my powers effects but I am still of some use. One does what one can."

By Klono! Her eyes! They have the Mark of Infinity in them! Would the Grey's have done that as well? That is too harsh a punishment! Why does she start so? As though she has seen something untoward?

[Arcana] By Klono! His eyes are marked with the Sign of Infinity! The ultimate punishment. Could it be that I too am Marked . . .

Both mages draw back in mutual shock and recognition : the Infinite Mark of Eternal Living was bestowed for crimes involving death on a large scale. It prevented the aging and natural death of the recipient thus banning them forever from Klono's embrace. No ancestors would ever greet them. No descendants were possible. They would never be able to return home even after being killed. It was irrevocable. They would live forever and always be apart from their own kind, separate even after death.

They both turn away from each other, unable to bear each others sudden crushing realization. The shift in reality goes unnoticed by either until the attack commences. Then both receive commands from their respective leaders and turn to defend themselves.

Black Ice- Seeing the others appear out of no where startles Black Ice, but then he quickly regains his measure as his eyes fall upon the twin speedsters. “We need to finish this and do it now!” he calls out to his counter part as he smiles as he looks up at the fire system. “You think what I’m thinking?”

Doing the same Black Ice will try to puncture the water system in order to begin to flood the room, or at the very least coat the ground with water.. If It succeeds, “Tesla aim for the water! The current will pass through!”



Ice Queen-“I like the way you think!” gesturing forward she will fire rka icicles(armor piercing at the sprinkler system in attempt to flood the room with water.

Backlash- The male Darkstar clone flies down the corridor and blasts Backlash with his Radiation Blast! The results are not quite what was expected! Backlash survives the attack and actually grows stronger from it!

Crossing his arms before him as the blast hits him Backlash feels his body tingle as his muscles engorge themselves on the power directed at him, Feeling stronger and faster, a smirk comes across his face as he eyes the clone before him.

“You should have hit me!” the female Backlash calls out. “I would have gladly taken the power up!”

“Let’s give em a taste of his own medicine!”
Going full density he will rush the clone and begin beating him with his fists.
Karma- “You should have hit me!” she calls out in sarcasim. “I would have gladly taken the power up! Its because I’m a women isn’t, Don’t think I could take it?”

“Gladly!” Wondering if the fool will take another shot at them she will move forward on foot and begin punching, full density.

Ricochet-evil f

A large tentacle reaches up trough the hole in the roof and pulls the female Backlash back down! The male Backlash stands there, unsure just what to do.

Tilt-A-Whirl & Whirl-I-Gig:

Together, the electrical twins point their free hand at the speedster’s below. Blasts of electrical energy are fired, and yet again they miss the twin speedsters.

Tilt is giggling wildly as electricity shoots all around them. The silly bad people can't hit either of them. There's a big flash and the electrical scary twins are blinded. Turning to her twin, she calls out, "letsgoseewhoelsewecanplaywith!"

"soundsgreat!" Whirl replies, and off they race!

Coming up to the two ice villains, they look like they are up to some mischief. Tilt will rush in (or up if they fly) and try to hit one of them with her topsy-turvy power. Whirl gets the idea and will use his whirly-twirly power if can reach one of them.

Twisterella & Spinner:

Twisterella and her counterpart Spinner continue to move around like small tornados, flinging sharp objects at the enemy! Blackout moves off with Lavender in his arms. Midnight gestures towards the tornado twins and blackness engulfs them. Once Lavender and Mauve regain their wits, the teleporters move off Blackout and Midnight. The two couples appear on another nearby rooftop, within visual range of the first.

"heywhoturnedoutallthelight!" Twisterella cries out.

"andtookawayallourplaythings!" Spinner protests.

More realities merge into this one and it’s disconcerting to both Blackout and Midnight. Movement is noted and everyone notes that there are people approaching! But these are not normal humans. Instead, each has bits and pieces of machinery growing from their skin! They come closer to everyone, chanting the following!

“Join us organics! Become one with the Master!”


"heythatlookslike....nah..cantbe!" they both say upon seeing the metal men. Twisterella will look around for their targets, ignoring the new arrivals. If she spots them, she will get Spinner's attention and race off, down and up buildings, whatever it takes to get their prey. If the metal men get in the way, they will do move throughs on them.

Stargirl (1):

Everything happens almost too fast to follow. The force field is gone and the evil version of mom is upon me! I hit something hard and am momentarily dazed. Coming around, Gloria realizes that this evil mom is choking me! Instinctively, Gloria wraps her hands around the arm choking her, trying to pry them off.

The choked cry of “Neutron Star!” comes out and she feels a new strength grow in her arms. Gloria tries to free herself from this grasp. She’s too busy to really notice the new arrivals.

The choked cry of “Neutron Star!” comes out and he feels power surging through his arms. Glen tries to free himself from this grasp by lifting his legs up and pushing the attacker away. He’s too busy to really notice the new arrivals.

Star Princess (2):

Star Princess unleashes her most powerful attack, the dreaded Radiation Blast at the woman who looks like her mother, but is wearing wrong colors. To her complete astonishment, the attack has no affect!

“That’s not possible!”

Even worse, they then just ignore her and strike Tesla with a Solar Flare! Then more strangers arrive!

“I don’t know how you managed to do that, but if those machines are so valuable to you, then I’ll just destroy them!”

Pointing her hands at the machines, Star Princess cries out, “EM PULSE!”

Star Princess wrote:“I don’t know how you managed to do that, but if those machines are so valuable to you, then I’ll just destroy them!”
“Exactly what I was thinking, Princess!”

Shifting into Neutron Star mode, Star Prince flies forward with the intent of smashing the machines!

Blackout wrote:"I apologize for not being fast enough and putting you in harm's way," Blackout replies. He's about ready to leave the scene completely when it gets even stranger.
“It’s okay,” Lavender says softly. “I may not be any good in a fight, but I was built to take damage and come back good as new.”

More folks arrive and Lavender instantly knows that they are not natives of this dimension.
Blackout wrote:"I'm sure there will be time for introductions later," Blackout says simply. He's quickly losing track of who is who, but he stops and focuses on the one who is most like him to his senses, despite the fact she is female. It's a strange sort of bond that he can't explain.
“Yeah, you’re probably right.” But Lavender can’t help but stare at what she guesses is a male version of her! He’s delicious!

Lavender gets her act together and simply teleports her and Blackout to another roof, well away from the tornado twins. Then some new creeps show up!
Mechanoids wrote:“Join us organics! Become one with the Master!”
“I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but they are not from this dimension!”

Lavender teleports the closest weird machine person to where they left the Tornado Twins. They can play with them instead!

Some present are not happy to see the new arrivals. Stargirl and her male counterpart Sun Prince fire Radiation Blasts at the copies of their parents. Neither Goldstar nor Starlord try to avoid the attack. The teen’s aim is true, but their attacks do not harm their parent’s doubles!

“That’s not possible!”
“Of course it’s possible,” Goldstar counters. “I’m immune to my own powers. Your powers are the same as mine, so I’m immune to yours as well.”

The evil version of Stargirl isn’t a great threat at the moment, so she’s ignored. Tesla, on the other hand, is. Since the Tesla Goldstar knows has trouble shaking off bright flashes, she figures her evil opposite has the same trouble.

“Solar Flare!” is cried out and it seems to disorientate the evil Tesla’s.
Close to Goldstar and Starlord, more people shimmered into existence. Next to these new arrivals were more machines and these machines merged with the other ones.
“You succeeded!” Goldstar compliments the new arrivals. “A pleasure to meet you face to face.”
“It wasn’t easy following your instructions,” a man in a red and white full body suit answered. “But I managed to piece it together. I’ll be damned if I know what this thing does! I’m Guardian and with me are the brother and sister duo of Quazar and Quazon. We’re part of the Nightwatch.”

Guardian indicates his companions, who are dressed in matching black body suits with a white starburst partner along their sides. Standing side by side, the starburst patterns merged into one.
“What the machine does, temporarily, is stabilize this area of merger between the dimensions. In essence, we’ve joined these twelve dimensions at the hip. We’ll explain more shortly.”

Taking her communicator, Goldstar contacts the Hand of the Guardian to let her crew know that the mission was a success. Next she contacts Flux.

“Flux, this is Goldstar. I’m back on Earth. We need to regroup at the sea base and I’ll explain what is going on. Can you make it there under your own power, or should I have you teleported there? Is everyone with you now?”

Goldstar is aware of the evil Stargirl’s activities in the background, but doesn’t try to stop her. This contingency was already prepared for.

“No freaking way!”
“Way!,” Starlord counters. “I’m immune to my own powers. Your powers are the same as mine, so I’m immune to yours as well.”

The evil version of Sunboy isn’t a great threat at the moment, so he’s ignored. Lightning Rod, on the other hand, is. Since the Lightning Rod Starlord knows has trouble shaking off bright flashes, he figures his evil opposite has the same trouble.

“Solar Flare!” is cried out and it seems to disorientate the evil Lightning Rod’s.
Close to Goldstar and Starlord, more people shimmered into existence. Next to these new arrivals were more machines and these machines merged with the other ones.
“Well done,” Starlord tells the other new arrivals. “I only wish that it could be under more pleasant circumstances.”
These other three new arrivals are vastly different from each other. The largest was a tall man whose skin was seemingly made of stone! Beside him was a man wearing worker’s overalls with numerous tools. The last was a blonde haired woman with a fine figure in a black and gray bodysuit with a matching gray cape. A golden halo was emblazoned above her heart.

“The Engineer figured it out just fine,” the blond woman responded. “He’s the Engineer. My large friend is Bedrock, and you can call me Halo and we’re the Alliance.”
“Welcome. What this machine does is stabilize this area of merger between the dimensions. In essence, we’ve joined these twelve dimensions at the hip. We’ll explain more shortly as this crisis is far from over.”

Tesla:

Elsewhere, Powerstone and Black Pearl are on the ropes between a combination of attacks. Tesla and Lightning Rod fire off another electrical blast and in response Powerstone and Black Pearl go flying backwards and this time do not rise.

"That takes care of that," Tesla says and suddenly everything begins changing once more. She's given up trying to keep track of everything, focusing solely on Powerstone. However, Flux has other needs for her at the moment.

"Tesla, Menagerie, Eldrich-cover the air approaches! Frostbite, Sea Guard, with me on the ground. Powershift hit the deck behind us. Stay with Phlox. Recover."

" 'Rod , Changling, Eldritch- same deal. Partner up with your counterparts. Cover each other. Whiteout, Sea Sprite, Gem, join the others at ground. I'm going airborne"


"Understood," Tesla replies simply. She will take up a good arial position while glancing over at her twin. He nods to her and between the two of them they cover each other as well as the others. She is staying defense for the moment, her force field up, until all of this can hopefully be sorted out.

Turjess Malkindor

Ahh now this is becoming complex. Thulkos I believe, with some other realm admixed. And more inhabitants to deal with. Arrogant too, with their demands.

Turjess keeps his eye on the mage in the other group, noting so many similarities between them.

Of course. Fool, am I. That is an occupant of an Echo Realm of my own. Which means the realm of majik I Sensed is an Echo Realm as well. How disappointing. One less useful place to explore. Perhaps THIS realm of Thulkos will prove more fruitful. Let us see how the others deal with the changed circumstances. Then I will decide my course.

Turjess will stay off a bit, not attracting attention to see how it all plays out.

time to end this...

Sinister Tesla:

Together, the electrical twins point their free hand at the speedster’s below. Blasts of electrical energy are fired, and yet again they miss the twin speedsters.

Back down on the ground, Goldstar and Starlord ignore the doppelgangers of their offspring. Instead they cry out, “Solar Flare!” Light explodes before the eyes of Tesla and Live Wire, forcing them to break contact and shield their eyes. The bright light has temporarily blinded them!


Between not being able to hit those speedsters and getting blinded of all things, Tesla is at the end of her short rope. Letting out a hiss of disgust, she will fly in the direction where she last saw Goldstar and Starlord.

"I don't need to see to take you out!" she proclaims. Normally Tesla might not play this ace up her sleeve at this stage, but with all these do-gooders around and all this expensive machinery, it's time to run the tab up so high that they will regret spoiling her fun.

Tesla will power up to go "super nova" guessing that her twin will do the same. Whoever and whatever she doesn't hit in the area of effect, he will no doubt cover with his own blast.

Turjon Kalmindor

Turjon is distracted by the change in scenery and the addition of more forces, enough so that she can stop and consider her hasty actions.

Mergers. Multiple realms conjoined. Yes of course. The Clan Mage is no pretender. That is my Shadow Opposite no doubt from a Shadow Realm. We should not contest against one another. The similarity of our majiks in combat might provide interesting results--to the survivors. Best to hold all actions and let the others risk themselves. Whatever falls out might prove useful to me.

Turjon will stay back and silent to see how things play out.

wait and see..

Blackout:
Lavender gets her act together and simply teleports her and Blackout to another roof, well away from the tornado twins. Then some new creeps show up!
"That makes things easier," Blackout says, finding himself teleported a short distance away. He had set Lavender down, but had kept one hand loosly on her waist. However, with the arrival of all these bio-mechanical, or whatever they are, enitites, he finds it hard to concentrate and sort all this out.
More realities merge into this one and it’s disconcerting to both Blackout and Midnight. Movement is noted and everyone notes that there are people approaching! But these are not normal humans. Instead, each has bits and pieces of machinery growing from their skin! They come closer to everyone, chanting the following!

“Join us organics! Become one with the Master!”

“I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but they are not from this dimension!”

Lavender teleports the closest weird machine person to where they left the Tornado Twins. They can play with them instead!
"Okay, maybe it is time to pull out of here completely and figure this out," Blackout admits. "Is there someplace you would suggest we start looking?"

back into the fray...

Post by Blackout »

BlackOut:

"Forgot about us did you?" BlackOut says in a harsh whisper. He's been recovering from the earlier attack and it seems that no one has come after him or his twin.

Using the shadows and darkness he can lurk in, BlackOut draws more darkness around him. With an unspoken connection and understanding, his twin moves with him, the two nearly entwining themselves together.

As they get closer, they see the battle they had fled from still raging, only with newer entries now present. Smiling an inhuman smile, BlackOut will move up to whichever enemy is closest and most distracted and execute a grapple. He will not be denied another feeding!

“Flux, this is Goldstar. I’m back on Earth. We need to regroup at the sea base and I’ll explain what is going on. Can you make it there under your own power, or should I have you teleported there? Is everyone with you now?”
*Goldstar. We are in contact with hostile forces. Team intact minus one. Backlash is in the Starr building. Have also found allies. If you can teleport ALL of them I give it a 'go'. If not then hold off. I won't abandon allies in a fight.*

*Starlord. Good to hear from you. We are present here except for Ricochet. Engaged with hostiles. Linked with reliable allies. I'm unwilling to disengage unless safety of same addressed. Can you manage it?*

Kumiho & Skinwalker:

Two for the price of one! Kumiho thinks as she collars the two star-children and smashes them into the wall. This will be a most pleasant kill.

Three more younglings enter the room, all apparently with powers of their own. Kumiho doesn't have time to deal with them at the moment, though, as she can feel the pair in her arms beginning to struggle. Since the maneuver worked so well before, she decides to repeat it. Kumiho flies straight up in an attempt to smash her victims into - and through - the ceiling.

Meanwhile, Skinwalker's attack does not meet with similar success. He growls angrily, as the other female target spouts her nonsense. A different tactic is clearly called for here. Before he can follow-up on his attack, the pair rush him. He has some awareness of new players entering the field, but he doesn't have time to deal with that right now. Instead, he shifts to Neutron Star form and flies forward on a collision course with his opponents.

Menagerie & Changeling:

Twin blasts take their watery attackers. A look around shows that the fight here appears to be over.

Just as their leaders are deciding on their next courses of action, reality shifts again. Suddenly, part of their world is gone, replaced by a wood. Through the wood, primitive-looking people are moving to attack them!
Flex wrote:"Tesla, Menagerie, Eldrich-cover the air approaches! Frostbite, Sea Guard, with me on the ground. Powershift hit the deck behind us. Stay with Phlox. Recover."
"You got it, boss," Menagerie replies. Looking to Eldrich in her arm, she says, "Looks like we'll be working together a little longer." She then soars up into the air, manuevering for an altitude advantage against the flying attackers.
Flow wrote:" 'Rod , Changling, Eldritch- same deal. Partner up with your counterparts. Cover each other. Whiteout, Sea Sprite, Gem, join the others at ground. I'm going airborne"
"Will do, ma'am," Changling says with an impish grin. Winking at Eldritch, he says, "Hope you don't mind riding along for a little longer..." Like Menagerie, he shoots higher into the sky, looking to hide in the glare of the sun from where they can attack with the aid of surprise.
