...Dragons, you say?
"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
And then suddenly, for unknown reasons, Mako became my favorite villain in the game.

You know Mako is exactly like Dark Helmet. Except instead of Lonestar and Vespa toys, he's playing with a Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.

I certainly hoped everyone enjoyed my little 5 part story for the First Captain Mako Week.
I do not know if there will be more, but if there are, I am proud to have contributed to something that makes this game more fun for years to come.
To Andy, Jessie, Kevin, Matt, John, Ryan, Sean, Tim.. and the many others I bugged about for lore questions when writing this you have my deepest and truest thanks.
To my fellow players, it is my most sincere wish that you found this story a fun bit change from the recent dark and sinister turns the lore has taken of late. If this is officially canon, I do not know, but in a way I hope it is, and not just for the sake of being a player influencing the game. I wrote this to show the lighter side of the experience that is City of Heroes: Freedom. We accept the wars, the struggles the battles but we also accept that Viridian loves his soap operas, that we have (like,) Becky the Tarantula Mistress, that we have a hero whom we love because of the word 'hoorb', and a heroine who we groan due to the fact that the blue haired pigtailed wonder from Faultline has only the power to be kidnapped.
I haven't seen many negative comments, and for something as goofy as my story was, shows how much, I believe, that we as a community can take a step back and enjoy the game for what it is, harmless fun.
So for those who enjoyed my story, I thank you. For those who didn't, and felt it was a slap against the game, again, I thank you for at least reading it and sharing your honest feedback.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You are all the best, and I did it for you!

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
These have been very fun reads, thank you for making them.
And PLEASE make Woofers canon. I can't help but imagine him as Ms. Lib's puppy that she kept dragging along to Fort Trident when when she was a little girl and going to visit Grandpa.

Actually, Arbie, the stories were fun, as a life long shark 'fanboy' or whatever*, I thought it was a very interesting collision, the nature of society vs that of the beast.
Hopefully you can convince Paragon to let this be canon and if so, to also allow you to do other work, too.

*Casual expert...? Amateur shark analyst...? Dunno what I'd call it but I've been enthralled with them since I was 5 and never get tired of learning more about them in the near thirty years since then.
EDIT @ Tacitala - as long as Woofers isn't made into a were-chihuahua that Ms Lib' carries tucked under... <eyes T for Teen rating> Um, right. Well, I better leave it at that. <coughs>
Even against certain death, it matters not how or if we fight, only that we do.
Most amusing complement I've ever been paid on an outfit, from @Ukase regarding my Blue Eyed She-Devil Anson Maddocs "Fallen Angel" homage:

...Ending.
ALL OF MY HATE.
Rest of the stories were awesome though.
So....if Mako is a brony, does it follow that Zwilli and Nemesis are bronies as well?

According to the Nemesis interview coffee talk, Nemesis is the original Brony.

Doesn't Nemesis have a metal horse somewhere?
Grandville
The image of Captain Mako on the screen turned and waved happily at Barracuda.
"Hello there, have you been enjoying the show? So many people have been, it's like an epidemic!" The Television said in Mako's voice. "It's been such a wonderful week, everyone tuning in, watching Television like they should, and your good friend Captain Mako has been helping me; the footage he's given me to work with is bar none! Please thank him for me when you see him next."
Barracuda growled and hissed as she pushed a member of the Freakshow out of the way, she got up real close to the screen.
"End this now or I'm pulling your plug. Capisco?" She looked over the gathered and then back to the screen.
"Why would I end this? It's gotten me some of the most loyal watchers I've ever had! Afraid this whole thing will 'Jump the Shark'? Ooh, please tell me you saw that footage with Mako and the skier." The Television hummed deep in its diodes, Barracuda smiling.
"Actually yes, but I'm willing to make a deal with you. I'll talk to Mako, he'll do this once a year for you, put on a great show, all carnage and blood. You know his sorta thing. But only if you stop this rainbow and gumdrop lie you have about him and sharks. Think of it, you get this, all this attention, every year instead of this big flash in the pan sweeps attempt."
The image of Captain Mako on the screen paused in thought.
"But my current viewership, if they found out I lied to them, they might abandon me, how can I keep them affixed to the screen if they don't have Shark Frenzy to look forward to when they get home from their jobs?"
Barracuda shrugged. "Well, folks have been going to the movies lately with that Double Feature of Time Gladiator and Casino Heist, I'm sure turnabout is fair play if you take some of those viewers back." She chuckled. "Do something unexpected, but it's not my problem now. I expect folks to be scared of sharks by the end of the day. I'll send word to Lord Recluse that what has been affecting Mako is over, and you can try and figure out the risk versus the reward of your viewership that's afflicted with a love of rainbow, bubblegum animals."
The image of Captain Mako stopped and smiled wide. "I have just the idea... You know, you aren't so bad, miss. I might have to put you in the movies one of these days."
Sharkhead Isle
Captain Mako swam ashore in the morning, stretching as he beached himself. He felt the air hit his lungs as his gills contracted down. Once he started seeing the news reports about how scientists were wrong and that sharks really WERE dangerous nightmare beasts made of rage, fury, and hunger, he knew the whole thing would be over with.
He had spoken to Barracuda and Lord Recluse, learning the full seriousness of his attacks. While his pride was damaged, his standing in Arachnos was not. Although he may have been fought off by the Heroes of Paragon City and the Villains of the Rogue Isles in his myriad attacks, his drive and continued hunger kept his image pure. If one general of Arachnos could do that much damage after the fact, imagine what all of Recluse's army could do.
He looked at the soldiers who stood at rigid attention, letting him pass as he entered his domicile. Had it only been a matter of days since this had started? Since he was referred to as the 'bunny of the ocean'? He looked around the room, all evidence of his fury having been cleaned for him, the communication center replaced.
He shook his head, this whole ordeal started with these pathetic rituals and habits of his, of Gideon Ray. He wasn't that man anymore and had no desire to be. He looked at the faded photograph of the man and the woman, in the still of the morning he spoke.
"My name is Captain Mako, and I killed your son Gideon. I grew inside of him and like every ship I have ever sailed; I forced my way into control. He is the first vessel I laid claim to and I am not sorry for it. I took his name as my own, I own every molecule of him and I'm not giving him back. But his little habits, I kept them too. Nothing but trouble, they are. So you know what, I'm gonna leave them in the ocean like so much debris." With that he picked up the photo and put it in a drawer, locking it.
"Good riddance."
He looked at the screen, chuckling at the newscasters reported on his many attacks, the injuries across the Isles and Paragon. Disturbing images flashed and excited him. He walked to the cooler and grabbed a machete, grabbing himself a hunk of cow, the vision before him making him hungry.
He ate his meal and grabbed the remote, to end this ordeal. The last time he would indulge the actions of the herd. The habits of Gideon Ray would end. There is only Mako, and he didn't need such unnecessary things clogging up his day.
"Well, that's the end of the morning news on WSPDR, in light of recent events we have changed out our morning rotation from Jibberjowls to a new cartoon sweeping the nation due to its popularity in the theatres. Stay tuned for Magical Dream Unicorns!"
Mako groaned as the pastel images, so similar to the ones that offended him over the past week, filled the screen with giggling horses.
"Gee Lucky Charm, do you think the dragons in the next valley REALLY want to come to the dance party?" Mako blinked.
Thirty minutes later, he stood before the screen as the credits rolled.
"Well," Captain Mako thought, "One habit wouldn't hurt."
Captain Mako Week continues today with in-game invasions and more! Join us in Paragon City and show Captain Mako who tops the food chain!
