((At first, I was worried. Then I read through all this. Despite all the posts, it seems very little time has actually passed. Mostly like one of those anime cartoons where the characters start "Hulking Out" for about ten hours, but it actually is only three seconds in-game.
The messed up thing is that PB is the EXACT reason Kip's here.
EDIT: Wow, guys. Impatient a little? I mean, it IS the Labor Day Weekend! Last camping trip of the summer, family parties (<-My excuse), movies, debauchery... Well, maybe not debauchery... Okay, maybe a little debauchery... In any case, come on, people! Calm down!))
Kipland gripped his glass tightly as he watched the whole group seem to go completely nuts. Setting his teeth on edge, he turned to Lieutenant Briggs.
"This went downhill fast..." he looked at his buzzing communicator, "...And I should probably be going. My contact says it would be unwise to stay here."
He shrugged.
"Wanna come with? Meet somebody from the Rogues who's actually pretty decent?"
----------
Power Breaker clicked off his communicator and waved to Kipland from the table he sat at. The nod from the scrapper (and second-in-command at Grey's Army) indicated he got the message and saw him.
However, now Breaker himself was on edge and more than a little aggravated. His nanites set to work on calming his nerves, allowing him a chance to think without adrenaline and testosterone clouding his brain cells.
"Poe. What the Hell are you doing here?"
Epic-type enemy detected. Countermeasures?
"Not right now, though I do have some ideas in mind. However, I'm not walking into any plans of that [rear end]. The less he knows I'm here, the better. Besides, it looks like the crowd's already got a keen interest in- HEY! El D! I bet he'll put Poe in his- [to Hell with] it."
"DEE!" he shouted, "Yo, man! Come on over here!"
Then he saw the "oh" pattern his lips made when he said "Poe."
"Damn," he grumbled, "Well... I guess Zero's got some spare arenas... He'll probably be tossing the whole mess of us into one of them before too long."
He heard a whisper next to his ear, "That sounds like a good idea. Of course, I may just toss the whole lot of you into the void and let you tumble and bumble around out there while I watch from the warmth and comfort of the dance floor with the rest of my patrons."
Breaker looked to DJ Zero, who was glaring down at him with his arms crossed over his chest. His right index finger was tapping irritatedly.
"What did I do?"
"Let's just say I'm a fan of conflict resolution," Zero replied.

((... you make yourself absolutely central to the entire thread, then ditch without the slightest IC explanation?
That's kinda cheap.
EDIT- Oooookay, Grey, you timed that just perfectly to make this post look ridiculous >.<
*sigh* Meh, I'm just glad you're back and we can start moving again.
EDIT2- Hmm... okay, that came out grumpier than intended. Sorry 
Oh... by the way... this is what Energon X usually looks like- or, a little closer, just so you've got an idea.))

(I'm gone for two days and you guys write six pages? *Sighs* Fine. I suppose I'll read through it. *Grumble*
Edit: That... wasn't much time at all, actually... *Shrug* Whatever, makes my job easier.)
Jake had been nonchalantly sipping his drink, watching the event unfolding with interest. He hadn't a reason to get involved in the fight, and was now simply observing and enjoying his show. It wasn't often that DJ Zero let a fight go on this long, and it might pay off to learn why.
Of course, when he learned that the man was the infamous Poe, his smirk dropped to allow his more serioiusly toned 'Oh crap...' face to show.
Poe here certainly isn't a good thing. He's after something... no, scratch that, someone. DJ Zero? No. He wouldn't target him in a dimmension where he's a god. He mentioned Power Breaker earlier, could that be it, or would I be reading too much into it then? He sighed. Whatever. In any case, I don't want to get involved. Jake nonchalantly walked away from the mayhem, repositioning himself within speaking distance of DJ Zero himself.
"If I could be so bold," He began, "Why have you let the fight over there go on for so long without even so much as a warning? Normally you'd ask types like me to not even summon henchmen, let alone order them to fire on someone. So what gives?"
Poe prepared to unleash the time she-
DJ Zero showed up.
"Right then, that's my que. Good day to you all." Poe said cheerfully.
Poe walked right through the giganormous mob of heroes, his miscelaneous gadgets and traps powering down as he went. The arsonist lifted his blast goggles as he walked away from the group, revealing his sharp blue eyes.
He turned his head as he passed by Breaker's table, and their eyes meet for one moment. If looks could kill, Power Breaker would have left the D in a match-box.
Then his head turned away, and he headed for the villain-side elevator.
(Mmmmkay... I'll just assume Zero politely ignored Jake and heeded his words at the same time. >.>
"Poe," Power Breaker barked.
Query: Confrontation? We assumed confrontation was to be avoided...
"Yeah... Well... Like the DJ said... Conflict resolution..."
Considering prior engagements, this seems decidedly unwise. Especially considering the individual in question came here with the intent to harm you. We cannot allow this to happen...
"Then help me deal with him."
He turned around and pushed a chair from the table.
"Come on, Poe. Let's talk."
My Stories
Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.
Poe kept walking.
"I'll be happy to talk to your corpse after I've teleported you into a minefield the moment you step out of the D." Poe responded to Breaker.
Jonas was floored. One second Poe was in full-on kill all mode and the next he just walks away without a second glance.
So you think we scared him off or is this gonna come back to bite me in the [censored] later? Jonas queried the voice
Yeah I'm sure you scared him off...almost positive...okay so he's probably gonna kill us and then sacrifice our corpse to a pagan deity of insanity or something as soon as we leave. The voice dripped with a dark sarcasm.
So what's the plan now? Jonas wondered
I say we get [censored]-faced and go out guns blazin' The voice answered without missing a beat.
Yeah, well your opinion has been stated and denied so be quiet and let me work. Jonas snapped
I suppose youv'e got a plan better than that. The voice asked
Yeah but you don't get to find out till after I'm done.
Jonas had seen the look Poe had thrown across to an occupant sitting at a table. He looked and looked away. Then he looked again. Power Breaker? Wow and to think a target was sitting there all along...oh well. Jonas snapped his fingers and a single drop of liquid darkness hit the ground and raced its way to 'Breakers table where it attached itself to the underside of his boot. Gotta keep track of people on my "Bingo List". The drop would allow Jonas to track 'Breaker for awhile, atleast until it was recalled or destroyed.

The stentorian rasp of Energon X' strained breathing cut off in a startled gasp as the incredible pressure of Poe's unfettered energies snapped off like someone throwing a switch. He staggered like a man who had been leaning on an unexpectedly-opened door, then caught himself, what was visible of his face screwed up in a ferocious scowl of concentration as he fought to hold back his own power.
The harsh blue penumbra that surrounded him slowly faded, and as the intensity dropped, the Blaster slowly became aware of a sensation of slow relief... Almost like a safety valve..? he thought, puzzled for a moment. Still surrounded by a radiant glow, he waved an experimental hand, and jumped as a fat blue spark arced between him and Kheldragon.
Huh... looks like she... at least, I think she's a she, sounded like one, anyways... took me up on my offer to keep draining. Can't say I'm complaining, though. Almost guaranteed I would've gone 'boom' without her help. Energon X straightened, glaring after Poe, idly considering putting a power bolt through the back of his head, DJ Zero or no DJ Zero.
He's after that guy? he thought, looking Power Breaker up and down skeptically as Poe confronted him briefly, then moved on. Huh... Brute, by the look of 'im. Wonder what those two's story is? He shrugged irritably. "The last thing I need is to get tangled up with another overpowered idiot with delusions of demigodhood." he finished aloud, waving a dismissive hand at the departing Poe.
E-X turned his attention back to the small crowd that had gathered around Poe. He inclined his head to Fraenir first. "Apologies for jumping in front of you." he said formally, "But there wasn't a whole lot of time- if that idiot wasn't stopped, I would have gone critical... which wouldn't be a pleasant experience for anyone here." He paused. "Speaking of which..."
Energon X turned to Kheldragon and inclined his head. "Thank you for the energy siphon. Without that help, I would not have been able to maintain control as long as I did." And I pray that none of you ever learn how close you all came to being blown to monatomic dust because of the interference that idiot set up within my powers.
E-X hesitated awkwardly, still looking at Kheldragon. "Anyways, can I buy you a drink, or something? It seems the least I could do after the help you gave me. Oh... In costume, I'm Energon X. Nice to meet you all." he finished wryly.

"Hey Breaker!" El D shouted, looking over at where Breaker was seated.
And when he turned back, Poe was gone.
"Hey..." El D growled irritably as he moved over to where Breaker was sitting, and where Poe had walked to.
He didn't get there in time to catch the words between Poe or Breaker, and Poe didn't seem to want to stop anytime soon.
"I think he's still mad at me because I stabbed him and tossed him around your Base for a while" El D said to Breaker, hoping he had said it just loud enough for Poe to hear.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fraenir watched as Poe just walked passed all the people in the gathering and headed towards the elevator.
Then he turned to E-X.
"Ammends" he said, responding to the man's apology.
"I get the feeling this isn't the last time I'll meet that waiter..." the big dragon-man grumbled., turning his head back to Poe as the man continued walking out of Pocket D.

"Wasn't my base," Breaker replied, "I came here to engage in a little business with a friend on the Hero-side, and suddenly I see go-tard over there being the crazy maniac we all know and dislike."
He shook his head and grunted a few obscenities.
"You think maybe the boss his associate warned us about never had any kids, so that's why he spoils the little maniac rotten? Or is it just complete apathy for the universe that drives them? How the Hell can anybody be so antisocial?"

Briggs finishes off the last of her coffee and pushes a one spot as a tip across the counter for a tip. "Sure, why not." the cybernetic woman replies as she places her steel hands on the bartop and pushes herself up.

Kheldragon nodded at Energon. "...You're welcome..." was all she said quietly. Didn't bother much with elaborate speeches. "...I appreciate the...drink offer, but I don't...consume liquids...If you've got some...batteries with you, though...that's just as good..."
She tried to smile, but only succeeded in curling her lips far enough to expose her red-stained fangs.
"...I'm a lot of things..." she said, addressing everyone, "...Call me what you like...Monster...Chimera...bad case of genetic...soup...Or...call me Kheldragon..."
Khel shook her head, letting her hair fall back into her face.
"...I don't think...that's the last we'll see...of him, either..." she said to Fraenir.
And that was when Inky jumped out of the plant.
---------------------------------------------------
There stood a little girl, perhaps only almost thirteen, covered in autumn-orange and red leaves. She was shedding all over the floor.
Her hair was long, brown, and rather unbrushed, with a faint ruby tinge to it. She'd retained the temp-dye for unusually long periods of time.
It looked like she had feathered wings, but they were really just more leaves, growing out of her back.
"Fin'lly, 'e'z gone!" she said, very quickly. "'Ey, 't'z th' drag'n-man 'gain!" she said, grinning at Fraenir. "I savedja a donut."

"I don't think I ever toled you my name.....It's Fraenir" the big dragon-man said, looking from Kheldragon to Ink as she emerged from hiding.
"Donut?" Fraenir questioned, as if it were something he'd never heard of.
