Emily shook her head. "I don't know, but my instincts are telling me something is wrong and he needs to get out of here."

She and Martin shouldered the wait of the limp hero. "As far as how to find the others," Emily gestured at Tick-Tok, Experament and Jack. "I think that you three should be more than able to find them."

"Hay.......Ali McBeal......get down here." He shouted back down the tunnel to Em.

[/ QUOTE ]

Emily scowled at being equated with the anorexic "lawyer" and came over to see what Jack was looking at. She checked to make sure that Master Wonderful was still alive and then called back to her back up. "Martin, we need to get him back home soon. It looks like he's only overexerted himself, but there seems to be more too it than that."

I'm kind of wondering why this thread is on the RP board and not the general discussion forum.

((OOC: Sorry, got a bit distracted with RL things. Catching back up now.))

"It is quite fortunate that neither the Demon Jar nor the two of you were destroyed in that fall." Many As One turned, surprised that he had missed noticing that Kagete had somehow survived. The black figure of the ninja could be seen holding what looked like a jar with a wicked and monstrous face on it. "The horror that could have been unleashed from this has the potential of far worse than those fake supernaturals would have. And my efforts at freeing you would have been for naught if you ended up dead. Now I must take my leave of you."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The one-sided battle between Syn and MacBeth continued to rage through the darkness. Syn's glasses lay shattered in the sewer muck. He couldn't find an opening to escape. Suddenly he sensed the presence of two of his "children" and the attacks stopped long enough for him to transport himself and his minions to safety. Master Wonderful just stood there, eyes glowing in the darkness of the sewer, unable to find his enemy. The hero gradually lowered his guard, the tiredness of his exhertion finally catching up to him causing him to fall to the ground, unconscious.

[ QUOTE ]
But once there, she attacked again, this time in coordination with him. Hoping that a double attack would accomplish what a single one had not.

[/ QUOTE ]

Katete was still busy fighting Lust and Averice. He need some way to get their attention drawn away from him without them knowing what his plan was. All he could hope is that the girl who seemed to be a psycic was picking up on some of his thoughts.

((OOC: Behold a ninja's amazing ability to no sell ANY sexual advances.))

[ QUOTE ]
Her dark hair seemed to swirl about her pale flesh as she smiled a rictus filled with teeth. Her eyes became red and yet still held some terrible beauty. She reached for the ninja, to wrap him up, to embrace him, to make him hers now and forever.

[/ QUOTE ]

Kagete stood there, apparently transfixed. There was no doubt in his mind that the vampiress was quite beautiful. However, he'd been trained to ward off any advances of spirits who used both their natural beauty and mystical powers to bewitch a man's mind. Averice clearly had the former, but the demon hunter knew full well she lacked the ability to use the latter.

The vampiress didn't get a chance to come into arm's reach as knife hit her just missing her heart. The incubus was soon repelled as well as a felt a kick to his stomach followed by another to his groin. And that's when Kagete felt it. He knew where the "Ma Hou" was. The problem was that he'd have to find a way to get to the ceiling while fighting off the two sex fiends.

Actually the Hulk wouldn't fit as Natural because, if I recall correctly (and not just based on the movie either), there was something unique about Bruce Banner's physiology that caused the gamma radiation to not kill him (that radiation was established to be leathal to a normal human in the comic book, I believe) as such, depending on what was the reason for the different physiology would actually help determine what his origin is. If it was caused by tampering with scientific laws man was not meant to know, then he would be science, if it was because he was born with a body that had the different physiology the he would have been a latent mutant.

On the other had, it was established at various points that all Kryptonians act as basicly living solar batteries when under a yellow sun (such as the original Supergirl, for example). This is something that is common in their physiology. (Again, unlike Banner who got hit with Gamma rays that would have killed a normal human.) If it were ONLY that which one was looking at, then he would have been Natural. But as I said before, Supes is actually Science, marginally, because of his father.

((OOC: Catching up... Also drawing inspiration from Norman from "Big O" just a wee bit for Martin. All hail the Giant Gatling of DOOOOOM!))

Martin stepped from the shadows. What amazed both Expirement and Jack was that the aging Scottsman had some how stayed hidden while carrying what looked like an over sized gatling gun. "Hello there lads. I do believe it's time for ye to take yer medicine." Both super powered beings had to dodge quickly as the large shell sped down the sewer at them, allowing Emily a chance to get free.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "sting" that Syn had felt distracted him long enough that he was unable to dodge a right hook from Connor. The stalemate had finally been broken.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
((OOC: Feeling no inspiration on the battle in Syn's lab. Let's just pretend that Kagete is fighting one of the baddies without saying anything.))

[ QUOTE ]
However, and for those who do not know, superman gets his powers from our sun (if I remember right). That being said, is it not possible that superman would have a science origin?

[/ QUOTE ]

Except for one problem: All Kryptonians gain the exact same powers from any yellow star/sun, so this becomes a natural property for the Kryptonian race. However, I would still qualify Superman as Science Origin for one very specific reason: he was geneticly altered by his father so that he could escape past the "Eradicator" that Kal-El's grandfather created that kept all of Krypton prisoner on their dieing planet.

The vampiress and the Incubus moved as one towards kagate again. The Vampiress licking her lips.

"Yes lets"

((OOC: Allow me to say that the Incubus wanting to feed on Kagete is just a little weird, considering what Incubi and Secubi would normally feed on from people. I won't say any more than that.))

Kagete watched the two creatures come at him calmly and silently. He had to time this just right. As the two highly sexual being got to him he did a small jump that caused him to land on the the psudo-demon's shoulders which did a larger jump off of and aimed a flying mule kick at the ghoul. The cannibalistic humanoid reacted almost to late as the ninja landed hard on the floor near the unconscious Crystal. Kagete to a moment to shove her prone form away while proformed a round house kick the ghoul's head.

If you can hear me, answer this. Why the hell should I trust you? Where the hell am I? And I can't do crap until the Cadamite wears off. Not like I would anyway. I'm not stupid whomever you are. ANYTHING with the drug in them will be effected if I pulse, which means if Crystal, Paul, Jack, or anyone ELSE who can be saved is nearby would get fried as well. So either pull the other leg or find another option.

[/ QUOTE ]

You should trust me because we share the same enemy, the Rikti and the Lost. As far as you friends, I have removed any one that is not my enemy from that facility that lacks the abilities necissary to stop their threat to me. I am a busy man, so do not attempt to distract me again.

Any further attempt for Erik to contact his mysterious savior prooved fruitless. He was now on his own.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syn had spent almost too long focusing on getting Erik to attack the Lost. He'd been clipped twice by the raging Master Wondful's swings and he was hurting. At least now he could focus on the task at hand. Unfortunately, he couldn't seem to get a good shot with his mind blast due to both fighters coninuing to jockey for an advantagious position. He didn't waste his time with killing blows as that would leave him to winded to fight back against Connor's attacks if he were to miss and he needed enough so that he could escape if things got to bad. And so their stalemate continued.

Connor was in pain unlike any he had felt before. He couldn't focus on anything save for his primal need to survive. This forced is already overactive adrinal gland to work in overtime, filling him with strength and increasing his threshold for pain. Could have anticipated what was to come. The wild, animal howl the eminated from his thoat, the swift movement of his arms which were like a man breaking free of his binding, the shock wave that was let loose with that first movement after his holding, knocking Jack out, or even the tackle that went through Syn's shield forcing the mad man to dodge for all he was worth to keep himself alive. The second round that Connor had promised Syn was now officially under way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first of the tubes burst releasing what looked like a wolfman wearing typical Warrior gang colors. It snarled at Kagete before it lept to another cell helping the stuggling occupant to release itself. In the mean time, a pale woman with raven hair wearing a black pinstiped buisness suit burst through plexiglass that was preventing her release and seemed to float rather than fall to the ground and grinned a malicious, fanged grin at the demon hunter. As each altered human landed, Kagete knew that they were not truely mystical in nature, which meant that this made the ninja's job both easier and harder.

The five creatures, the vampiress in the mobster suit, the werewolf in cloths of member of the Warriors, an icubus wearing the out fit of a Hellion without the mask, a ghoul that seemed to have bits and pieces replaced with other body parts, much like Vahzilok's creations, in tattered civilian cloths, and what looked to be a lich in a highly decorated Fifth Colmun Nacht uniform, kept themselves in a circle around Paul, Crystal and Kagete as if they were waiting for something. Then that something happened, the sound of a howling wind came from somewhere in the high ceiling and five smoke wisps spead towards the five former humans.

A rattling breath came from the lich before it spoke, "Herr doktor vants us to contain you, preferably alive."

The ghoul started to shake as if trying to hold something back, then let out an earpiercing pschotic laugh and licked his lips. "But he didn't say anything about keeping you in one piece!"

And thus the battle began...

((OOC: Anyone feel free to write fight stuff for Lust (the incubus), Pride (the lich), Averice (the vampiress), Gluttony (the ghoul, who should move insanely fast), or Wrath (the werewolf, and you can have him change between forms at will [these range from full human to wolfman to full wolf and any point in between, Werewolf the Apocolypse might be a good source of inspiration for him, as well as some of the other White Wolf supplements]))

((OOC: Jen, PM me with what your plan was/is for what Emily left to do a few sections ago. I'm wanting to work it in.))

[ QUOTE ]
Jack raised a finger and coursed the pink hero agonizing pain. When he lowered his finger the pain stopped. Jack continued to walk around him in slowly circles while he smiled from ear to ear. "That is only a taste of what I am going to do to you."

[/ QUOTE ]

Connor sneered, "Bring it on, chuckles."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagete made short work of the drones, especially since they lacked any actual offesive abilities. He kneeled before the young woman, seeing that she was clearly overdosing on something. He had seen this plenty of times when he fought Tsoo and those they had used Rage on. He uncorked a small vial and held another similar one in his hand. "Drink this, young one." As the concoction entered Crystal's mouth, she could taste how vile it was, causing her to gag and spit it back up. Kagete uncorked the second vile. "I know it tastes awful, but it will help purify your body faster." She finally swallowed the substance and began breathing easier.

*BOOM*

Kagete looked around at the walls. *BOOM* One of tubes shook, it's occupant looked like it was moving. *BOOM* Another tube shook. *BOOM BOOM BOOM* It seemed that five of the tubes' occupants were trying to get out. As the slayer of dark mages stood ready to protect the newest captives he was attempting to liberate, he knew this would probably be his toughest fight yet since he came to Paragon City.

((OOC: OK, alot happening here.))

[ QUOTE ]
Satisfied with their accomplishments, the Anomolous went their way. Their bargain with Syn was working out well. There was more to be done, but they were in no hurry.....

[/ QUOTE ]

Syn's psycic shade had watched the proceedings with great amusement. Little did the Lost know that their loyal "follower" had counted on this and started to final phase of his plan into motion. Light visibly flashed from four locations: Paul's tube, Erik's tube, Crystals tube and the tube with the nuclear rod in it. However only three entities reappeared in the lab itself, Erik, Penny, and, again, the rod. Syn spoke in to Erik's mind, Time to wake up, Erik Sanstad. Use your power to destroy all evidence of 'Russian Roulette' and I will reunite you with your wife, no other strings attatched.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ninja and hunter of dark magics known only as Kagete stealthily explored the strange lab. Looking in any direction he could see devices and notes one would not normally see in one place. Notes on vampires, warewolves, zombies and demons drew the dark figure's attention more than anything, however, this was not what he was looking for. MAGI had been broken into and only on thing was taken, a Japanese relic called the "Ma Hou," or demon jar. Kagete knew that this wasn't the only relic of it's kind. He also knew what it's purpose was, to capture and consume souls. He hadn't yet found the relic when he saw two flashes of light from a, as of yet, unexplored room. The sight that was awating him was both horrible and awe inspiring. The walls were filled with what seemed like an endless array liquid filled tubes with what looked like humanoid figures in them with a set of seven tubes set in the center, two of which were now having an young man and woman placed in them by what looked like robotic assistants. Kagete knew what he had to do. His form seemed to come more into focus as he launched himself at the two machines.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

He could tell that Jack was not a well trained grappler, or that his strength even matched his own. He was able to break the mind controled psycic's hold quite easily by a quick bend at the waste and a turn of his hip. Went carrening through Syn's force field knocking the scientist over. Connor attemted another dash attack against Syn, this time he was trown back as the barrier was irrected again.

"I believe it is time for you to show him your true power, Envy," said Syn as he possitioned himself between Master Wonderful and Jack.

Just before the two hit the ground again, Connor felt himself thrown away from his opponent. He tried scrambling to his feet, but Jack was already up, and not looking any worse for the wear. Jack kicked the hero as he lay on the ground, and that was when Master Wonderful saw him. He looked no different than he had when presented himself as the head master of the school all those years ago. Adelbert Syn, the man who was the cause of all his suffering. He made a dash for the insane geneticist, ignoring Jack all together, save for occasionally batting him away as he tried intersepting him. As he got closer, Connor pulled his fist back and let his punch fly. It, however, never reached his target, blocked by some unseen barrier.

((OOC Note: Syn has access to some powers from the Mental Blast, Mind Control and Force Field(which are more powered along he lines of telekinisis) powersets and should, of course, be treated as an Arch Villain. I am well aware of how powerful this can make him. Obviously, he won't have all the powers from those sets either.))

Connor responded by charging in himself. As they reached each other, Master Wonderful grabbed Jack's neck and preformed a choke slam on him. He didn't wait for his opponent to get up, putting the young man into a full nelson, slammed him into the top of the sewer then inverted Jack for a piledriver.

[ QUOTE ]
"Syn says hi."

Jack suddenly brought his knee up hard into Master Wonderful's stomach and followed it up with a quick fist across his face.

[/ QUOTE ]

The hits didn't hurt Master Wonderful so much as they surprised him. He let go of Jack in response.

"Syn. He's behind this. Then I guess my only choice is to beat information about him out of you. Nothing personal, Jack, but I have a score to settle with him."

And with that he threw a powerful Jab at the troubled and mesmirized young man.

((OOC: I know this is a preemptive strike but MW's rather upset at this.))

[ QUOTE ]
"You had to have a little argument with daddy to get your small office and pocket money. Oh poor you. You're right. I can't see how that compares with a small child watching both his parents murdered in front of his own eyes for what he was. It’s all so clear now. I should be happy."

[/ QUOTE ]

Connor could only see red now, not even hearing the rest of what the young man said. He'd had enough of the little punk. Before he could even think about what he was doing, he lifted Jack up by his throat and slammed him against the wall.

"Do NOT play the pain and suffering card against me! You will loose every time. My father sent me away to a school when I was three years old. Over the course of those two years I and all the other childeren at that 'school' were tortured and expirimented on. I was never able to sleep because of the horrors they put me through and the screams I would hear coming from the others. Somehow I was able to escape, but when my father found out what was going on in the place I was being 'taught' he banished me to this country with nothing but the cloths on my back. He even made sure that my life was miserable here, something that he told me he did everytime I ever saw him. He made sure that I could never get a job as I got older. He did everything in his power to make surethat I couldn't afford to feed myself or even get any sort of higher education. He left me out here to die. I've had to fight tooth and nail to be able to have any success. I had to fight him to get even a job in the mail room of his company's holdings in the U.S. I even had to fight him to pay me even half of minimum wage for the job. I've had to fight him for every promotion to get to the posistion I have now, which he has turned into little more than a figure head, still not paying me enough to be able to survive outside the walls of my towering prison. My life as a hero puts me in a precarious possition of getting cast back out into the streets again. The only thing standing between me and utter ruin at this point is Martin, the closest thing to a best friend I've had in a long time. You've had it easy compared to me. You didn't even have to relive the horrors of your childhood for a year during the Rikti War! If you think I have had an easy life, then you are sorely mistaken."

As he made each point, Connor slammed Jack against the wall with increasing force and his hand closed tighter around Jack's neck. The pain of all his memories surficing at once was to much for him to bare.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syn was getting agitated. Kill him already, Envy. Kill him before he kills you! The geneticist then focused his mind on thowing the pink clad hero away from his first champion.

[ QUOTE ]
“How about yours?” Jack asked.

[/ QUOTE ]

"My father has treated me like I was going to betray him at any point since an incident, which I'm only now starting to remember, from the time I was about five years old. My mother died the next year and I never got to see her before she was gone, nor even got a chance to go to her funeral. You've talked about how you've suffered, at least you never had to fight with your own father to get anything that most other children are entitled to without ever understanding why he hates you. I even had to fight to get to where I am in my father's company and to prove that he could trust me. I did not have it easy like you said I did back in the truck, Jack. No one ever has it easy. All you can do is learn how to play the hand you've been given."

[ QUOTE ]
"Are anticipating we will be attacked while we look for Crystal and Paul?" He asked raising an eye brow. "They are only a short way down the tunnel. They are fine."

[/ QUOTE ]

"You can never be to careful, Jack." Connor didn't want to discuss what was going through his mind right now, especially if what he suspected was true. He need to change the topic. "So tell me, what are your parent's like? They've probably treated you a whole lot better than my father has treated me in the past twenty years."

[ QUOTE ]
The pink hero had no suspicions of Jacks plans....he could wait.......a little while at least.

[/ QUOTE ]

While Connor wasn't exactly suspicious of Jack, he knew something was not right. He thought it strange that he was not with Crystal, especially if she were around Paul. He also noticed that Emily had been cut off as she was transmiting about Crystal and Paul apparent disappearance. He had to make a choice right now, and he knew that if a trap was being set, it would have to be sprung on his terms. "We've lost contact with Erik, Crystal and Paul. Small Arms, I think you Harris and the bear should go check on the status of Erik's rescue... Jack, you and I are going to find out what happened to Crystal and Paul, besides I think you and I need to have a talk about parents." Master Wonderful pulled out a syringe of smoky pink fluid and discretely injected himself with it.

((OOC: And so the game begins.))

Crystal started breathing again, though her breath was quite shallow and she was still not aware of the world around her.

"My end of our deal has been completed, Envy. Now, as per our arrangement, your will is mine. Kill Connor Macbeth."

Jack slowly felt as if he was loosing himself. All he could feel in himself was how much better everyone else's life was than his own and the feeling that his new master would help him to even the score. He walked briskly down the hall after Master Wonderful, seathing with only hatered for a man who he believed had lead such a charmed life.

A few seconds after he left there was a bight flash of light that filled the tunnel. Syn suddenly appeared before the two comatose bodies. "The two of you still hold much potential for me to let you go to waste. However, you, 'Wild Card,' have little use to me as anything more than a bargining chip. I cannot deal with you three now, so I shall save you till later." With a wave of his hands they were gone from the scene. Teleported to stasis holding cells in a hidden lab somewhere.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

<MacBeth Technologies, Ltd.>

Emily Brown was boarding on full blown panic. She'd lost contact four communication units. Crystal and Paul seemed to no longer be on the map, Jack had apparently dropped his in the sewer muck, shorting out the circuits, and Erik wasn't responding. "MW... We seem to have a situtation..." She didn't get a chance to say more as the remote unit she was controling was suddenly shattered by some unknown assailant. She took off the V.R. helmet and looked at Martin. "He's on his own now."

Martin leaned against the wall, "May God help him, because we can't."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

<Back in the Sewers>

Syn opened his hand, looking a the small broken device. "We can't risk our little 'hero' knowing about his surpise, now, can we?" Syn chuckled mincingly to himself, which quickly became a maniacle laugh that echoed through much of the sewers. However, their sound never reached the ears of a certian pink clad hero.

((OOC: I have a plan if none of them take this proposal, I'll send it to you through PMs.))

Crystal did not move or attempt to pick herself up. Her face perfect under its smudges, her lips slightly open, as if she was merely asleep. The illusion would have been complete if only her chest would have risen and fallen, instead of such utter stillness....

<Crystal>

You poor child. Now you teeter on the brink of oblivion. But, you don't have to. I can save you in addition to my other offer. Just say that you will become my servant, 'Avarice,' and I can make it all happen.

What I have shown you is comeing to pass. You 'true love' is lying on the ground, dieing. You must act quickly if you wish to save her. You know what needs to be done. Become my 'Pride' and be free of your creations and allow the girl to live as well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

<Jack>

The shadow stood over Crystal's body. "What a waste. And you don't have the power to save her either. But I can save her. Given time, I can also give you the power to save her. You only need to tell me one thing: that you will be my 'Envy.'"

It did not take Adelbert's scans long to find potential reqruits. He hid himself in the shadows and split his consciousness four ways.

And Paul/Many As One fired. The plasma blast was not centered well but caught enough of Jack to throw him off his feet and slam him into the opposite wall. Paul's hands charged with energy again.

"Target not destroyed. Initiating second attack."

[/ QUOTE ]

Time seemed to stop for Jack, everything seeming to turn to grey scale.

You are a very interesting subject, Jack. said a voice that seemed to come from all around the young man. You're actions say that you are a man with problems, yet you lash out at those who seek to help you. You have been subjected to much pain in you're life. Suddenly, the shadow of a man stepped into view. "Much of this pain is related to your unfulfilled desires. I can give you the power to get what you desire. All you need to do is sware alligiance to me and become my 'Envy.'"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

<Paul's "Black Room">

Jack was not the only one that all action seemed to stop for. Paul also seemed to feel the stopage of time.

You can't stand this feeling, can you? Your lack of control, the desire to protect those you care for, but can't. I can save you from your controlers, but you will need to submit youself to my will and trust in me for it to happen. If you do not, then your friend and your lover will both surely die.

A vision of a second blast being shot as Crystal moves herself into it's path, killing her instantly, and then a third shot being fired, this time leaving a gapping hole in Jack's chest.

Not a pretty sight, is it Paul? You don't have much time either. Submit yourself to me, become my 'Pride,' save your friends.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

<the "Battle Field" in Paul's mind, Crystal>

The battle in Paul's mind seemed to stop for Crystal as well. Then the same voice called out to Crystal.

My dear, child, said the voice in a loving tone, you never asked for any of this. But you are willing to accept the resposibilities that come with it none the less. You wish to save both the men you love from each of their horrible fates. It is because of this that you are so loved, and it is this that drew my attention to you. I can help you save them both. You must just sware your loyalty and the use of your powers to me

------------------------------------------------------------------------

<the consciousness of Many As One>

You seek your own safety, little ones, I can help you with that. The nanites could not tell the source of the voice that was speaking into their collecitve thought patterns, and seemed to have trouble blocking out the voice as well. You need not fear me, I mean no harm to you. I know how little your current host thinks of your efforts to protect him. I can find you a host far more receptive to your efforts in safety. In fact, I can find many more hosts for you to protect and with my aid you can become more effective in you endevors. All you need to do is call me your Master and become my 'Sloth.'

((OOC: I assume you can tell where I am going with this. And I do know what Syn want's Crystal to become, but he didn't tell her so that he could add more influence to persuasion. I'll go for the fifth persuasion later, just want this set to get going first.))

((OOC:No time for rest, on to the next fight.))

<"Adam">

Erik was exhausted from the sudden expenditure of such a large amount of power, so much so that when a voice other than his own told him to go to sleep, he felt compelled to do so. On the other side of the room, "Adam" came into view. He'd watched the entire fight, waiting for the right moment to strike both parties. "Hmph, such a pathetic waste of energy, Erik Sanstad. At least I know that my prey is in these tunnels once more. Once Connor MacBeth is dead I will be free of my debt to those accused aliens and nothing, not even the "All Seeing Eye" nor the Countess, will be able to stand in the way of Adelbert Syn and his Seven Deadly Chosen."

With that he sept up the hallway towards his target, all the while searching for allies to weaken the pink warrior up.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

<Master Wonderful and Co.>

The fight against the Vahzilok horde was starting to reach it's end. Fortunately, most seemed to be retreating for some unknown reason. As the last of the undead fell, Master Wonderful let out a sigh of relief. "Well, let's try to catch back up to Sanstad people."

And he started to run down the sewer in the direction that Erik had just gone. He had no way of knowing the danger that was headed in his direction.
