Energon X watched the Arachnos flyer come in. Even knowing it was coming, it was tough to see- an excellent cloaking device. Unless, of course, one had basically full-spectrum vision like the Blaster did. Then it was a headache-inducing moving blotch of twisted space. It swept up to the dock smoothly, and a hatch opened in what probably looked to the others like empty space.
He hopped casually aboard, then glanced back with an amused quirk of his eyebrow. "My, could this ever be misinterpreted..." he commented ironically, sliding out of the way and getting ready for the short hop to the Rogue Isles.

((Yes, it's a converted Arachnos Flyer, but HEAVILY converted. It looks more like the Reaver Dropship on Serenity with hover pods and lacking the graffiti and horrid black smoke coming out of the back of it right now.))

((We had a fight with Poe. It devastated much of the Pocket D nightclub, which DJ Zero fixed with a snap of his fingers. Now, Power Breaker has inadvertently organized together a little posse formed of heroes and rogues to go hunt down that crazy [jerk] in the Dimension of Mists.
We expect this to get nasty.))
Solo Stryker opened a side panel window on his canopy and looked out. Something was odd out there... He could swear he saw something on his approach, and his sensors indicated a few more people than he could see.
"Hokay... Everybody pile in... We'll get you guys to Brother Mauthe's island in no time. Before we start, yes, I'm classified as a Stalker. My friend in there is a registered 'Mastermind' class..."
Justin Steel sat in the back of the dropship's passenger compartment. He saluted the passengers as they boarded. He had a peculiar smirk on his face, but said little.
"...The gentlemen at the Engineering controls are his Special Ops troopers, Mr. Hackler and Mr. Coach, and at the guns are Mr. Smythe and Mr. Weston."
The troopers waved.
"Mr. Kolt and Mr. Remington will be providing other measures of security..."
The other two soldiers, one in Commando gear, the other in Medical attire, nodded from their respective corners.
"And the Kingdale Referee, a Defender class, will see to your personal affairs."
"Screw you, Solo," the Referee barked as he oversaw the engineering, "I practically keep this rig from falling out of the sky as the Chief Engineer."
"So," Solo's voice came back over the intercom, "Once everybody's on board, let's get this show on the road."

Khel felt the flyer before it showed itself. Not only did she know the energy of Arachnos flyers, but large, airborne objects tended to give off a lot of energy to keep themselves in the air.
She looked up
Kheldragon stepped into the flyer, being very careful not to touch anything besides the floor if at all possible. No good would come of draining this thing's power supply.
In fact, it was probably better to go Nova-form, and not touch the floor at all.
"...I'm a Warshade..." She muttered to whoever needed to know, "...And it's probably best...not to leave any...expensive equipment...near me..." Khel coughed into her hand, went Nova with a BOOM, and was suddenly a flying glowing squid-thing.

((I'm going to try a slightly more comprehensive summation...
Poe enters, causes a ruckus- several people accost him. Something in his tiny mad brain goes 'ping', and he decides to leave, dropping a widget of some sort on the way out.
Kipland leaves, but, since he was the target of Poe, gets zapped into some random cyberspace copy of the D (there's a certain irony to that statement). Kheldragon goes into the women's bathroom and attempts to dimension-hop after Poe (intending to eat him), ending up with Kipland in the cyber-D, which turns out to be a prison that nullifies their powers, or at least some of them.
Meanwhile, Jonas/Marcus found the widget that Poe dropped and snagged it, apparently for use in some kind of war between the Husk Corp (Poe's employer) and the Dark World Council (Jonas/Marcus' employer/liege/whatever). Energon X attempted to round up a group (himself, Inky, and Fraenir) to find out what happened to Kheldragon (not knowing that Kipland had gone missing as well), and questioned Power Breaker concerning Poe.
Poe came back (invisible) looking for his widget, and Energon X sensed him, confronting him, quickly followed by Fraenir.
Poe attempted to escape under cover of a gas trap, which was ineffective against Energon X, since the Blaster doesn't breathe in a conventional fashion (his lower face is actually physically missing). The two slugged it out in the elevator briefly, then DJ Zero intervened, bringing them back into the Pocket D proper and separating the two of them.
While all this was going on, Kipland and Kheldragon were ripping apart the Cyber-D in an attempt to damage the program and escape.
Back in real-D, Jonas/Marcus briefly 'entrapped' DJ Zero, or at least appeared to, so they could 'talk' to Poe. Fraenir grabbed Poe first, though. That didn't last- Poe flashbanged-gas-trapped-seeker-droned his way to freedom and ran for it. Only problem for him was that he ran towards the closer elevator... where Energon X was still standing.
The Blaster took a swing at Poe, who reversed direction, apparently preferring not to stop another Total Focus with his face. He took off and flew for the other elevator, weathering or dodging multiple attacks from Fraenir, Power Breaker, Flaming Earth, Energon X, and Darkvapor, making it to the elevator just in time for the doors to close on him... and the LRM Rocket that Energon X had lobbed in there trying to prevent him from escaping.
Poe got blown to black goo, the elevator got wrecked, and then DJ Zero fixed it all with a wave of his hand.
Energon X volunteered to join Power Breaker's anti-Poe task force, and Kipland and Kheldragon's efforts finally bore fruit, ruining the program sufficiently to allow Kheldragon's powers to open a portal back into Real D.
Around this point, a Jagermonster turned up (Jager Horowitz, although he has yet to introduce himself), having been blown out of the elevator unnoticed by the LRM Rocket and embedded in a wall on the other side of the D. He plonked himself down at the bar next to Briggs and put his arm around her shoulder- this happens in the last post on this page, if you want to see for yourself.
Meanwhile, an anti-Poe alliance was being formed amidst most of those in the D. I believe that you, Horowitz, and Flaming Earth are the only players left in the D right now- Flaming just screamed after pouring a shot of Jaeger into his mouth and out through the bloody hole in his cheek gained during the fight with Poe.
Everybody is working their way towards the rendezvous point, except for Jonas/Marcus and a few of Build's characters who weren't in the D, who are busily analyzing the black goo that Poe had left behind, which is doing very strange stuff.
So... did I miss anything important? Hope that helped, Briggs))

Briggs was "powdering her nose" in the ladies room when everything was going down. But she upon exiting the bathroom it took only some minor questioning of the rattled bar patrons to get the story, and the subsequent posse that was formed because of the fight.
The cop dashes outside to see... well what at one time was likely an Arachnos ship. She walks up to it and starts pounding on the side. "Don't think you all are leaving without me!" she shouts at the side of the craft.
A clawed power-glove reached past Lt. Briggs and yanked down on the hovering flyer hard enough to make it tilt sharply. "Iz dis your ride, sveethot?" Horowitz asked with a grinful of three-inch fangs.
"Hoy, de vay hyu took off, I thot hyu vas avoiding me!" he chuckled. "But here hyu iz, all eager to be gettink into a fight. Ve's going to get along joost FINE. If dere's trubble, or sum pipple dot needs fightink, den I'ze coming along as vell. Hyu can't be keepink all de fun for yourself, after all." Jager Horowitz hauled the flyer around by main force, hobnailed boots scraping across the concrete. He positioned it so that the door faced Lt. Briggs more closely, and then released one hand to wave her in. "Come alonk... moof! Ve dun gots all day, und de ladiez must be going first!"

Build opened his wrist panel, "Hey Shaakti, I ain't feelin so well"
Shaakti's heavily tanned face appeared on the screen, "Do you think it may have been the weird mixture of foods you ate? Or maybe it's because you zapped yourself in the stomach with a lazer."
"I'm not jokin'. I'm really feeling sick here. I think that goo crap I drank is gonna kill me." Build said a little worried
"It's not like it would be the first time you died. You want me to send a magic user down there to see if they can help?" Shaakti asked clearly becoming tired of the robotics mastermind's complaining.
"Who is the mage we got on call?" Build asked apprehensively
"Your favorite necromancer." Shaakti said trying in no way to veil the laughter in her voice
"It would have to be Conlin wouldn't it. You know I can't stand him." Build said as a look of dread appeared on his face
"That's the best we can do for now. If you don't want it, suffer in silence." Shaakti said
"Fine, but if the guy tries to disect me we're gonna be one member down"
"Ok I'll alert him now." the screen shut down
Build shook his head roughly from side to side, "Man Conlin freaks me out."
----------------------------
20 minutes later
"I SAID STOP FIDGETTING!" The dark eyed necromancer shouted as Build tried to wriggle out of his grasp.
Build stopped moving long enough for Conlin to finish painting symbols over Build's body and face.
"How long is this gonna take? This crap itches!" Build said making the necromancer glare at him.
"The more you move around, the greater the chance I'm going to make a mistake. If that happens, neither of us will make it out of here unscathed." The necromancer said before he started speaking incantations in a language forgotten even in the Dark World. If nothing else this should give us a few more clues, and at best it can decipher the ooze Build thought as his head began to droop from the melodic quality of Conlin's voice.

The sudden lurching caused the pilot to shout a number of curses and obscenities into the intercom before it was cut off. He looked back to the two figures and his brow furrowed over his sunglasses.
"Strange, what do the cops got to do with this?"
"Steel! We got room for more?"
"Yes," the Mastermind replied curtly, "Barely, it would seem..."
Mr. Kolt opened the hatch and held his arm out to Briggs with a friendly grin.
"Not on my watch, Mr. Kolt," Steel muttered, "You can fraternize when it's your time. Now, I need you to stay alert. Capiche?"
Kolt's smile faded.
"Good," the mastermind intoned.
When Briggs boarded, he quirked an eyebrow at her.
"You seem new... Perhaps you've never heard of this individual, Poe..."
After Horowitz climbed aboard and the hatch was closed, there was a rattling on the side of the ship again.
"It's Kip!" Solo's voice issued form the intercom.
"Let him chase us!" the Referee shouted back.
The dropship lurched forward. Outside, the scrapper was shouting angrily, mostly cursing Solo Stryker. He was, however, chasing after them. Suddenly, the vehicle lurched to a stop, and there was a loud slamming sound. Laughing, the Referee went to the back of the ship to open one of the cargo bays and let the loud scrapper in.
"You sons of... You think I'm going to let you guys take that lunatic down without me? I've got a serious bone to pick with him!"
"You don't even know who he is," Steel countered.
"And you do?"
"Actually, yes. Though the Ref here can better attest to the individual's... Tenacity and capabilities."
"He's the stuff that nightmares are made of," the Referee admitted as he stoically went back to work.

"Well if Poe is the stuff nightmare's are made of, then he is about to meet the stuff armageddon is made of!"
Bladewing sat in the seat, sharpening his No-Dachi with his fingertips, grinning as he contemplated the battle to come....and also contemplating how to best use his satchel of explosives.

"So quick to take on the Fear Engine," the Ref countered, "Well, I hope your confidence pays off in the end. I was threatened personally by that freak, and I can tell you, the next time I see him will be too soon. I would die happy if I never saw him again."

"...Fear Engine?..." Kheldragon tilted her head. Poe didn't seem very frightening at all. Then again, not much scared Kheldragon. To her, at this moment, Poe was just a particularly large source of energy, just another meal to her.
Of course, if he was a scientist, well. That'd frighten Khel. Scientists and labs were pretty much the only thing she was actually afraid of. She wasn't even afraid of dying permanently.
"...Fear Engine...Hmm."

((Uhm, Grey? You kinda missed my last post >.< Horowitz just tilted the Arachnos Flier almost onto its side to let Briggs get on board, and he was planning to get in after her))
Energon X shrugged calmly. "Poe may be dangerous, but what isn't these days? He'll blow up same as anyone else if you apply enough explosives." The Blaster hovered slightly, folding his legs to assume the lotus position in midair and relaxed, focussing his energy patterns so that he could access as much as possible of his titanic energy stores on as short a notice as possible. Blue light flickered briefly around the crammed cabin, then settled as he found his centre. This accomplished, he settled in to wait.
------------------------------
Jager Horowitz stared at the fuzzy outline of the departing Arachnos flier and frowned, ignoring the loud man who had charged past and leapt onto the outbound ship. "Vell... dat vas rude." he commented to no one in particular. Then a gleam entered his eyes. "But they'ze not gettink avay from me dat eazily... not ven dere is a fight dis goot going to happen."
With a cry of "Ve Hunt!", he dove into the greasy water, cutting cleanly through it in rapid pursuit of the Arachnos Flier.

Briggs looks to the strange snaggletoothed man with the peculiar accent. "I'm not sure what you said but thanks." The cop hops into the flier and proceeds to sit on the ground.

"No," the cybernetic cop replies as she pulls the shoes off her metal feet, as to not get in the way of the thrusters on her heels need she use them. "But he sort of kidnapped the guy who was buying me drinks. And that just won't fly." She looks down at herself and picks at her t-shirt, "Look at me I'm not even in uniform."
As Johnny entered Pocket D he Saw a group of Freakshow laughing and pointing at some cop who was walking away. "They must think their funny. I cant till I see them on the streets" said Johnny as he walked towards the villians end of the club. Most heroes were greeted bad looks and snide remarks, but not Johnny. Having been a former villian he gained the respect of many of his enemies. and even ghost widow before her accident and after. "Johnny Come here" Said a sinister voice. Johnny Looked around to see One of the snake Cobras behind him "you give back what you ssstole!!!" said the cobra "no darkfang, you should have had better sercurity to guard the event horizon" replied Johnny " now I get to see into the future" Darkfang started to walk away then he pulled a dagger and attacked Johnny moved with so quickly as if he knew what was going to happen. "Dj zero will notice in 3.. 2... 1..." You there!!!! Leave now!!!!" said Dj zero "Thissss is not over Mr.Hawkssss" said darkfang "it is now, bartender 3 Margaritas, a scotch, 2 glasses of champagne, and a bloody mary" "are you sure?" "yup" "don't drive drunk" "I wont i'll fly"

Darkvapor raised a hand.

With that he continued to be led by Power Breaker from their ferry.
