((OK, after spending alot of time researching Roleplaying, I've decided to start another Open RP Thread. Yes, yes, many of you remember the disasters that were my first attempts at RP'ing. To avoid that from happening again, my characters will only play one role in this Thread, which I'll explain after the Introduction.))
The Crisis Begins
Solarblaze sighed to herself as she walked down the halls of Portal Corp. with her brother, fellow Hero Supernovus, their Portal Corp. guide leading them to the Portal Room.
"Why did you have to drag ME to this presentation?" She asked, turning to her brother. "It's not like this new Universe is in TROUBLE or anything! I'll be bored out of my mind!"
Supernovus shook his head as they finally reached the Portal Room, turning to his sister. "Look, the scientists are going on a routine scouting mission. The Universe has already been deemed 'safe', but it's company policy to have a Hero or two present whenever the scientists go into another Universe. You can never be too careful."
The door in front of them opened, and the two Heroes stepped into the Portal Room. The huge Portal, already active, stood at the center of the room, a small glimpse of the alternate Universe visible in the Portal.
"Ah, Supernovus, thanks for coming!" The head scientists of the current expedition greeted Supernovus as he and Solarblaze walked into the Control Area.
"See?" Solarblaze whispered to her brother. "You can handle this by yourself. I should go." Solarblaze turned and tried to leave, but Supernovus grabbed her arm.
"Look, this expedition won't take long, OK?" Supernovus whispered to his sister. "Listen, if you behave until the expedition is over, I promise I'll call everyone together afterwards so we can all go hunting, OK?"
Solarblaze smiled and nodded, and the two turned back to the scene at the base of the Portal. The head of the expedition had three scientists with him, and after the "OK" signal from the Control Area, the small expedition force disappeared into the Portal.
About half an hour passed without much action. Supernovus turned to his sister, who was getting more and more restless as she paced back and forth impatiently. Then, a loud explosion ripped through the Portal Room.
"It's unstable!" One of the scientists yelled, several alarms in the Control Area ringing loudly.
"The containment's been broken!" Another scientist yelled, smoke begginning to erupt from one of the machines in the Control Area.
Supernovus and Solarblaze immediately ran out of the control area and headed for the Portal, but only got halfway when the Portal emmited an ENORMOUS wave that passed throughout the entire complex, then over the entire city, the entire planet, and then continued to expand into the far reaches of space.
"What was that?!" Solarblaze asked, looking back to the scientists at the Control area. Only... the scientists were gone, and the computers sat unmanned as the Portal in front of the Heroes hummed loudly and then died, the light no longer emitting from the Portal.
Solarblaze turned to her brother, but found that he was busy looking outside the door leading to the hallway they had been previously.
"What's wrong?" Solarblaze asked, looking over Supernovus's shoulder out the door. She immediately gasped as she saw the problem; there was nothing outside the door. An infinite white void swirled around the room, and all of the exits that once led to the other areas of Portal Corp. now only held the infinite void that led nowhere. They couldn't leave.
What neither Supernovus nor Solarblaze realized was that not only couldn't they leave, no one could enter their area, either. True, the area in Paragon City where Portal Corp. once stood was now encircled by a white dome-shaped void where no one, not even a Hero, could enter. But that wasn't the most bizarre change that had occurred in the Universe.
Supernovus closed the door and walked back to the computers of the Control Area. Accessing the mainframe, the computer flashed information.
"Apparently, a 'Temporal Backlash' has occurred." Solarblaze looked at Supernovus, somewhat confused. "Simply put, that wave that came from the Portal has changed the entire world, mimicking one of the many alternate Universes!" Supernovus explained further. He checked the database of alternate Universes. "Let's see... it seems like several Heroes in Paragon City haven't been affected by the backlash for some reason." Supernovus read on. "That could be bad. The history of this new Universe doesn't look good." Solarblaze read over her brother's shoulder:
Universe COH-359: Ritki City
Our scientists have determined that the fundamental difference between this Universe and ours is that, in this Universe, the Ritki were victorious in their conquest of Earth. A Hero using Invisibility helped us learn that the vast majority of the Heroes in this Universe are dead, including all of the members of the Freedom Phalanx and other major Hero groups. Apparently, Statesman is missing, and the humans are used as slaves to do the bidding of their Ritki overlords. The other criminal elements of the city have long been killed, but the Ritki Army is in full swing across the planet. Paragon City has become a major trade center for the human slave business, and humans are generall brought Paragon City from other areas of the former U.S.A. in high-tech holding cells to be used for the trade. The Ritki themselves also appear to be different than in this Universe, but that might be due to the fact that they are attempting to adopt a civilization and government similiar to our own. The only Hero prescence left appears to be a small resistance group operating in the sewers of Paragon City, so any Heroes that appear will automatically be assumed to be associated with them.
"Hmm..." Supernovus looked over the controls. "I think I can undo this. I just need to find our Universe and force another Temporal Backlash, thus correcting everything."
"Can I help?" Solarblaze asked.
"Sure." Supernovus motioned to another computer. "We need to sort through millions of Universes, however. It may take some 'trial and error'." He thought for a moment. "I'm just concerned about what will happen to those Heroes who WEREN'T affected by the Backlash..."
((And that's what my characters do. Feel free to post whatever adventures you want your Heroes to have in this new Universe (my characters won't take part in it, so go crazy ). Every so often, my characters will change the Universe again, so you're characters will end up in ANOTHER alternate Universe. That's how this RP Thread will work. Have fun! ))
