Fantasy Department of Defense Against the Supernatural

[Sleipnir]

"Oh, it's no fun if it isn't cosmic," Death replied. "Let's go somewhere neutral. It always works best that way." Death wasn't a terribly competitive sort. It didn't exactly benefit him in his line of work.


The time had come.


The plane had landed in Detroit and now the DC team was in front of Detroit's headquarters, walking in to meet Jefferson. Piper paused at the receptionist's desk before heading back to his office. She knocked on the door as she entered. "Agent Piper Reed from DC. We're here to help with your little problem regarding disease control."


(Remember ladies and gentlemen, let's try and keep OOC conversation in the OOC tab.)

 

[Elias]

Jefferson raised his eyes from a book he was reading about the many subspecies of wraiths, and glanced at the woman agent from the Department. ''Agent Piper, huh? Nice to meet you. Jefferson Tully'' he said introducing himself to the woman. ''So as you may have seen outside'' he said closing the book. ''Our little problem isn't so little anymore. And you can't even call it disease control anymore, cuz we have no damn control over it'' he said laughing half-heartedly. Leading her towards the windows, he glanced outside, upon the people that were succumbing to the diseases. ''I will have a task force prepared to accompany me aswell, and you can bring your happy little group. As far as I know the situations are these: we need to evacuate people to some nearby quarantine zone...I already started doing this, but I am a bit short on people. Almost all of them are coughing their guts out, feverish in their rooms. Only a few of my others are still strong. The other problem would concern the pest control. We got some freakish zombies (plague apostles) popping around the city, and everywhere there are swarms of mutant flies... You can get on any of the two tasks, and I will do the other, as best as I can. We will work better if we work as separate teams'' he said as he turned towards her. ''So...what's it going to be?'' @KattRai

 

[Kylesar1]

Sam got off the plane. Before doing so, he put an electric shield around himself. Anything that touched him received a horrible electric shock. Any bugs died on contact.


He walked in with Piper into Jefferson's office. "We have to know some of the characteristics of this disease. Is it a known disease or some kind of new disease?"


@Sleipnir


Allan walked out and found the dead body, where William was. "Orcs are some of the least intelligent creatures ever. An orc wouldn't have stolen anything. It probably would've destroyed this whole place. The only options I personally see are an augmented human, or some sort of demon."


@Elias

 

[Elias]

Jeff turned his attention to Sam. ''There are multiple diseases plaguing everbody...Some known, some unknown, but we did find a common one, which seems to recurring to more and more victims. It starts with the damn flies stinging people, then bubonic like laccerations start appearing on the vicitm's body. They get more and more proeminent, until the person starts rotting while still alive. They typcally die hours later from decay, the way I seen it, and they pop in back as those damn thing'' he said showing them a plague apostle, in the far distance. ''We disposed of hundreds of them, but they are still catching on. Even heard some of them muttering something which sounded vaguely like The Great Plague. I don't know you'll have to check it out.

 

[WitworthGold]

As she stepped off of the plane, Fred's charmed ring would begin glowing brightly. "There's something really wrong here. Beyond whats visible. I can feel it" As she moves to stand near her teammates, she, wraps her arms around herself as if to shut out a chill. "I don't like this..." Her voice wavers skightly as she speaks, "Ssome force is corrupting nature with this plague. Its killing the earth, not just her inhabitants."

 

[BookWyrm]

Scath flew overhead of the team as the were getting off the plane in Detroit. After the Lich incident he had stuck closer to the Department, feeling that he could lend his help if there was need of "heavy lifting", so to speak. The sight of the city be all be-plagued and decayed was bothersome. It wasn't natural. The only other epidemic that came to the Dragon's mind was the Black Death, and by comparison this might be a couple of steps above that.

The van finally pulled to a stop on the outskirts of Chesapeake Bay. There was a small marina around two blocks from the van. The driver had pulled into a back alley to avoid any wandering eyes. The back door of the van opened up long enough for the Hollows the exit. The man in the suit leaned out, "Renolds was the first, and the cops are still swarming that scene. With the success of this task, you two will be fully operational and ready to take on your first actual objective. Get in, get the intel, and get out. Leave no witnesses, save for the objective, and he won't live too much longer anyway." With that the doors were shut and the van drove off. Carnifex turned to look at the surroundings. There was a couple of abandoned buildings that would give a good overview of the marina. Picking one, the two Hollows made their way inside. They had just climbed the stairs and entered the third floor hallway when a sound caught Carnifex's attention. He hugged the wall quickly, claws forming on his hands as he made his way to the location of the noise.


A single person, a kid probably around eighteen, was sitting against a half wall smoking something rather illegal. The guy looked like he almost jumped out of his skin when Carnifex grabbed him, hoisted him onto the half way, and forced the kid's neck down hard. Between the time of the smoker leaving his sitting position to the sickening snap of a broken neck was all around, maybe four or five seconds. Carnifex left the body on the wall and moved to the window. "What would be the best way to get in?", he contemplated as he looked over at Vortigas.


@Elias

 

[Barbas]

Within a barren, desolate realm where the soil is mixed with blood and puss and the rivers are made up of a green slime like substance, the ancient entity known as The Plague Father stands in front of a cauldron filled with strange bubbling liquids as he observes his diseases in Detroit. As Karnak observes his diseases, he opens up a small portal that leads to an empty alleyway in Detroit before puking out a small swarm of flies from his mouth into the portal.

 

[Sleipnir]

Piper nodded. "Sanja, is it an Abomination of some sort?"


"No," was Sanja's immediate response. "This didn't start with a spirit. It didn't even start with the Dreamscape."


Piper nodded. "Okay. Sanja, Fred, do you two want to help make up some enchantments or something to protect those who aren't sick yet? Or do you want to help track down the source?" Piper then turned to the others. "Alexander, Shylock, Justin. You'll be assisting the quarantine efforts. Kyuma, you're with me trying to find the source. I imagine Galleytrot will be here shortly to help us."

 

[Elias]

Vortigas glanced around, absorbing each details through the eyes that layed still behind his mask of no emotions. Looking around, he analyzed each spot. He may not have looked like it, but he was quite perceptive when it came to these sort of things. He did that for about a minute, then turned to Carnifex and patted him slightly on the shoulder showing him the locations from which he considered an entry would be viable. ''Those two over there'' he said as he leaned forward pointing to them, ''would give us enough cover to come in undetected and snap the bastards'' he said with a small chuckle. The other route I considered is an arc one through the backentrance, even though it has a little more security we should be able to get in no problem. Other parts I've seen are either too exposed or too guarded. There will be tons of mofos to fight, so be ready, brother'' Vortigas said as he leaned back from the window. ''So now it depends. How do we do this? The fun-gory-direct way or should we take a more stealthier approach in killing the collateral victims other than the target? We wouldn't want him to scuddle off, being too scared, don't we?'' @KattRai

 

[The Unamed Character]

[QUOTE="Archangel Galdrael]((Victor is a solo person, he has nobody to go to Jumil. Not to mention he doesn't know she has the formula, he could find out Connor Maxime was supposed to get the formula from Jumil, at which point he'd track her down.))

[/QUOTE]
((Ok

 

[Hel]

"Well, this can't have happened too long ago. Look at how fresh everything is. I'll canvass the area with some of the uniforms, let's see if he's still around. Also, this mansion is huge, and clearly there's something worth killing over. Maybe the killers still in the house, hiding until we leave? Maybe there are secret passages to escape from, in case of an emergency." Liliana said, looking around the room as she spoke, then back to William. The medical examiner confirmed Liliana's assessment- saying that Mr. Maxime was definitely killed within the last hour.





Alexander followed Jefferson, nodding and heading out. He ran a thumb over his bracelet, checking that it was still there and latched. He wanted no chance of being a part of any of this. How was he supposed to know who to quarantine, anyway? Everyone here was already exposed, who's to say they just aren't showing symptoms, yet. Alex sighed, and headed out on his own, to the east to find any who had a diseases that weren't contagious- like cancers- or who seemed to so far be unaffected. There didn't seem to be many- and they seemed to luckily be mostly in families of the same species. Even the vampires were sick, however, which was NOT a good sign. In one home, he had to take the mother away from the other two, she wasn't ill, but her husband and child were clearly sick, he doubted the child would live much longer.


If this was the type of work the department did, he was unsure if he could do it. Alexander couldn't stand seeing children in such pain, or families torn apart.

[The Unamed Character]

((Kk)) jumil gets to the mansion "hey guys... woah what happened here?"


 
She looks at conner "oh no.... she says to herself staring at his dead body "conner...." she is in disbelief 'this is why he didn't come... and now... the killer may be after me....' she thinks to her self

 

[WitworthGold]

Fred nods her head, "I'll do whatever I can." She turns to Sanja, "Shall we?" She says gesturing to the doors. "I've got some spell books and items that may be of use as well."


"Piper, what resources do we have at our disposal?" She asks turning to face her.

 

[The Unamed Character]

Jumil leans next to the body "who would do this.... why to him..... what could they...." she stops mid sentence realizing why "oh no....."


 
She says quietly "the formula...." she starts to back out of the room

 

[Hel]

"Did you know him?" Liliana asks Jumil, stopping on her way out to canvass the nearby area. She assumed Alan and Will would search inside the mansion for some kind of secret passageway or something. They got here fast, surely the killer hadn't had time to escape.

 

[Sleipnir]

Piper looked at Fred. "All of them," she said flatly. "Do whatever you have to. We'll repay whoever lives if we take from them."


Sanja turned to leave, ready to get to work. She doubted her powers would be much good; after all, Astral Magic didn't do anything against disease.

 

[Elias]

William started looking outside for any hidden passage. He doubted the killer would have gotten far, because the killing was quite recent and as Liliana said, this was a big mansion. Hidden passages and sorts weren't that off to find. Splitting up with Alan, he covered one part of the house, while he covered the other.


(Sorry for the short post. Will catch up later)

 

[Azure Sky]

Somewhere in the city Uther was in his human form having a little ''chat'' with some thugs who tried to rape a middle-aged woman. He didn't touch them in any way for the moment. He just manifested a bunch of monstruous illusions which terrified them. The woman managed to escape. ''Who the hell are you? What do you want?'' asked one of them. The other one was mumbling something while crying. ''Oh dear, that line is so cliche'' replied the Reaper of Souls in a plesant, almost sensual voice. He made the illusions disappear, but trapped himself and the thugs in a circle of esoteric fire. ''Why do you little parasites always ask these questions before you're about to die or get owned? Pfft...Hahahaha. Fine. I guess you could say that...I am the Reaper. I am here to ...purge'' he added as he incinerated the thugs. As only their souls remained Uther looked at them in disgust and said: ''You're not even worthy to use as shit wippers''. He burned the souls slowly until they vanished. Mediums might have ''heared'' their ''silent screams of help'' as they went into Oblivion.

 

[Hel]

Liliana shrugged and headed out to search the area around the mansion. She couldn't find anything out there, but she kept looking. A few of the actual uniformed police officers were out there searching in the evening sun for the thief turned murderer now, too.





Alexander, meanwhile, was still helping to evacuate people, and hoping that Fred and Sanja could figure out how to fix this, or better yet, discover the cause.


@Barbas


Greyston, meanwhile, had spent the whole day at work, and unable to do much. He sat in his office alone playing his violin as all of the other agents were either gone home, to dinner, out, or were on cases. Now he was practicing Taylor Swift's Blank Space on his violin as he tried to figure out how the notes transferred. Around this time, Melody appeared in his office, startling him just a touch as it sang along to the chorus. Once the song was finished, Greyston smiled at it.


"Well, how are you, little sound elemental? It's been a while, hmm?" He asked. Melody's head bobbed enthusiastically, and the computer pinged, alerting Corin to a potential case.


He looked over to the computer- another dead scientist, hmm? Well, Corin supposed it would have to wait until the morning, because there is no way he was going out anywhere in his wheel chair like he was.


Meanwhile, Wednesday and Caden were in the alleyway outside of Ronan's apartment. Caden was searching for something suitable to eat in the Alleyway- dead animals, thrown out meat, anything that wouldn't get her noticed, and Wednesday was watching over her, as always.

 

[Elias]

William started brushing his hands against the walls of the mansion hoping to feel some hidden passage, hidden-in-sight lever, or even notice a trapdoor. Who knows? Perhaps the killer wasn't even here anymore. He doubted that he/she would have gotten far though, since the killing was so fresh. A meta-human. He heard they were the average Supermans in their world, and they were quite effective at what they were doing. They ccould pass the most as normal humans, and were best at keeping their powers at hideout. He wondered who was the culprit in this one...Perhaps they would find out soon. ''Someone check the inside too, maybe it's some lever on the inside, try the bookcases or any lamp that feels out of place. Maybe there is something there'' he said, even though he doubted it would be that easy.


Justin started lifting people up and carring them to the quarantine zone, helped in the meantime by Jeff who was flying in his true form, taking people in his claws and taking them to the enchanted zone, where hopefully his enchanters would find a cure, alongside Fred and Sanja. Justin glanced around, and noticed that the air was getting rather thicker, like something out of post-apocalyptic movies. They would have to get this over soon, if they didn't want this to extend to other regions....

 

[The Unamed Character]

Jumil mumbles to herself "I can't... can't let them get it.... conner wanted it badly... so this guy wants it worse.... and I fear it..."

 

[BookWyrm]

Ronan walked outside the back door of the apartment and over to the dumpster, a garbage bag in hand and nothing but his running shorts and chacos on. It wasn't until he had already thrown the bag into the dumpster and shut the lid before he finally saw Caden and Wednesday, though he paid more attention to the zombie than he did the ghost. "THE HELL IS THAT!?" Ronan, almost jumping out of his skin, instantly called upon his Osteomancy. He could feel the Firedrake awaken within him as he smelled brimstone beginning to burn on his breath. "What are you doing? Why are you standing next to a zombie? Why is a zombie here? What the hell is.....its a zombie. Why the hell is a zombie behind my apartment? Wait, don't get any ideas!" Ronan breathed a short stream of fire, just a burst to keep the zombie back. "You see, fire! Yeah I can breath freaking fire! Stay the freak away from me! Wait," finally taking a moment to calm down, Ronan took a second look at Wednesday, "are you a ghost?"


-------


Carnifex looked over the scenarios before looking back at Vortigas. "Let's make a mess."


The back entrance to the marina was guarded, yes, but that didn't stop Carnifex. The Hollow launched himself in the air over one of the guard's cars, firing a dark beam of energy towards the first victim, incinerating his mid section. The second guard looked at his partner in shock before turning only just fast enough to watch Carnifex, with a claw raised, rip out the guard's own throat. The Hollows found themselves in the main room of the marina, and across the room stood the target with about twenty of his guards and probably close to fifteen professional looking guards for some prick in khakis and a polo. "And who the hell are you two?", the prick himself was the first to speak, and his voice irritated Carnifex as much as his looks did. The target started to blubber on, his words slurring like those of a drunkard. "What is the matter with you?", the polo wearing dickwad asked. "Th-t-t-t-those...they....we..."


"Just stop it before you strain a fat roll, you lard ass." Carnifex growled. "The Order already has a problem with you running your mouth anyway. So we're here to shut it." Mr. Polo and khakis laughed as he started walking towards the Hollows. Carnifex laughed to himself. Does this pecker head really want to die? "You, are the Order?", the Polo asked mockingly. "And here I was expecting some professional SOF team or hitman, not two clones wearing Halloween masks. Oh it looks really high quality. Let me touch it and find out." The polo jock reached out his arm to try and flick Carnifex in the face, to which a mouth formed across Carnifex's mask, allowing him to bite off the polo jock's arm from the elbow down. As Mr. Khakis stood there staring at his arm a grin formed across Carnifex's face. "You can have the fat guy, he was your target anyway. This prick is mine though." Carnifex stepped forward, in his hand the missing part of the man's arm. "You seem to be missing this. Here, you can have it back!" With the last words Carnifex turned the arm around and, using the forearm bones, impaled the polo man in the throat. As Carnifex turned to the two groups of henchmen he shifted into his Feral form. "Dinner time!"


@Elias @Hel

 

[Azure Sky]

Evan-Dor opened a portal towards a deserted place somewhere on Earth and build a special space for the cosmic tennis mach so that the ball wouldn't destroy anything even if it fell on ground. He also brought the two nigh-indestructible rackets and texted Death. ''Ok. You know where I am. I shall await your arrival'' he wrote. @Sleipnir

 

[Sleipnir]

"On my way!" Death arrived in short order to go see his friend.


Sanja stopped what she was working on after several moments. "Wait," she muttered. "Fred, do you feel that? It's — there's something... " she frowned, going to the window. "Whatever is causing this, I can sorta feel it. It isn't good. Do you?"

 

[Elias]

Vortigas watched in silence, smiling under his mask as his brother did his killing. It was quite beautiful, the way that he butchered hsi victims. Gory, quick and painful. The way he liked it. Turning around to the other henchmen, his eyes starting glowing a pale blue under his mask, luminating his empty eye sockets. Keep his silence, Vortigas released a large amount of radiation to a couple of henchmen. Screaming in agony, they collapsed to the ground, screamig in agony, puking blood, and clawing at the floor. Nodding to Carnifex's notice, he leaped over a couple of corpses, his appearence growing wilder, as he entered his half-feral form. His mask seemed to open into a small, but hideous mouth, and from it, glowing snakes, sprouted out of his mouth. His disease/radiation carriers. His babies. As he went forward, he grabbed the fat guy, and grabbing a sharp knife from his backpocket, started clawing and stabbing him wildly, in places that were deadly enough, but wouldn't kill him at the spot. The fat shit cried in pain as Vortigas stabbed and stabbed again, while the snakes from his mouth were feeding on his veins, inducing him multiple viruses and diseases at once. Once he was done with the victim, it sprouted the words he needed to say, then collapsed puking his blood, mixed with other black and green-like virus goo. He would be like that for another hour, before finally succumbing. Watching back, he saw Carnifex do his carnage..His snakes retracted back, and his mask closed. ''You like our masks now, shitbags?'' @BookWyrm
