Fantasy The Misfits

[Shog]

It took a lot of Leo's willpower not to say "You have a strange definition of hero" after she said that it did.  But as she continued to explain herself, he began to wish he'd grabbed his helmet.  It would have hidden the look of shock he was trying to hide.  He'd never really understood why he'd accepted Rocket's request, yet she managed to pretty much nail it on the head.  He did want a different life.  It's not that his old one was bad, he just felt the need to change.  Maybe it was somethiing with the metior.  Maybe he'd idolized heroes more than he'd let himself realize and suddenly had the ability to be one of them.  Whatever the reason, she was right.


He shook his head a bit to clear his thoughts and walked towards the bot, extending his whips.  The bot tried to retaliate to Phoenix, but she moved out of it's range.  It would usually reacr quicker, but the fire confused it.  The bots were durable and fast, but delt weak blows.  These ones, at least.  The goal with these was to react quicker than them.  Leo was good at these because he could usually keep them at a distance.  He started by wrapping a whip around the bot's leg and yanking it out from under him.  It fel, but quickly recovered.  It turned to face Leo and charged him.  Leo wasn't going to get hit by the same thing twice in one night.  This time when he jumped to the side and wrapped his whips around it Leo used it's momentum to throw it around him and back in the direction he came from.

Spoiler

Here's the bot, for reference.

 

[Moolock]

Cory sprang back as soon as it was apparent her blow with the fire hadn't affected it much, other than messed with the bot's orientation. She watched from just outside its range as Whiplash lead his attack and quickly finished off the bot. Once he was done, she gave a small, "Whoa," as she brushed leftover ash off of her jacket. "That was cool," she admitted as she adjusted her gloves. After her main attack hadn't done much, she was a little more cautious than to approach the bot again. Forming another firebolt, she watched the bot uncertainly, not really sure what she'd do with the flaming orb. Apparently she waited too long as the bolt gave a large spit of fire before flashing and going out, leaving her with a hand of ash. "Well... That's a new one..." She brushes her hands off, watching the flecks of ash tumble onto the floor. "Sorry about that.."

 

[Shog]

"No, that was good," Leo said.  "You arn't going to get anywhere with your power if you don't experiment with it.  You wouldn't believe how long it took for me to truely understand what my powers were."


He noticed Storm Maiden stainding off to the side.  He wasn't going to leave the arena unless he knew he had something, so instead he just shouted over to her.  "DId you find something?"


(Sorry for the short post)

 

[ChrisClark13]

Freya shakes her head before speaking loudly back, "No, but I've got the computer working on some searches."


"Thought I might as well see what you two are up to while I wait on that," she said before turning her attention to Cory, "Until you know how to fight hand-to-hand, I recommend staying back at a distance. Either hover in place, if you can,  or find a high defensible position to rain fire down from. Change locations often or else you're asking for someone to sneak up on you. Focus your fire on anyone that can get to you or use ranged attacks, or has a gun. That's what I did, still do if I can get away with it. Unlike me flying probably doesn't drain from your energy reserves so you can probably pull off flybys better and more often than I can."

 

[Moolock]

Cory listened to Whiplash and Storm, nodding a little as she lifted up the hem of her glove to adjust the small pouch of lighter fluid she kept in case of emergencies. "Alrighty, 'll try that in combat. It doesn't run on any energy having to do with me, so yeah, pushing the limits shouldn't be a problem." She rubbed the back of her neck, nothing else to say or do coming to mind.

"A New Challenger Approaches"
​

Thought the young mercenary looking down from the roof where a recent fight took place. "I wonder if any of those guys saw me? Probably not since i am the best." The mercenary said to himself in a slight british accent as he turned off his cloaking ability, revealing himself to be Danny Blake or since he's in his costume Death Bringer. "Man i probably should have turned this off earlier now my suit is at half power, hope this hunk of junk doesn't malfunction." Looking down from the roof he sees the police searching the area and the man in the metal suit being taken in for questioning or to just be sent back to h.q since the same people that paid off the police paid him to fight the heroes. "Wonder what happened to that door guy and those heroes? They jumped somewhere but i can't see where. Oh well guess i'll just wait here and watch don't really have anything better to do."


@everyone 

 

[Shog]

Leo let Cory work on the bot alone.  She could handle it.  He walked over to a series of weights and began testing out his telekinetic abilities.  He could only lift things telekineticly just a bit heavier than what he could physically do himself.  If he pushed himself he couuld go heavier, but it required a lot of energy.  He occasionally used it on his suit, with his weight added to it, to buffer his landings or boost him just a bit further when jumping, but he couldn't do it for long.  He had no problem with his ability to swing down the streets, but flight would be nice.  He hoped to one day become strong enough to use his power on his suit and fly for at least a little while.  Unless he still crashed.  That would really suck.


He was distracted when the computer mad a few beeps.  He walked over hoping to see the search had finished and was not dissapointed.  There was still a lot of information to work with, but only a fraction of what there was before.  This was much more manageable.  As he looked through the information, he noticed files on heroes.  They didn't have a file on every hero, only those that had dissapeared.  It was mostly basic information, but his eyes widened at some of the more specific info.


"Guys, get over here," Leo said, not even sure if they already were behind him.  Some of the information near the bottom of each file told exactly where the hero was and what they were doing when they dissapeared.  Some of them even had videos attached.  He couldn't help but watch the one on Rocket's file.  It was a security camera on a roof Rocket had landed on.  There was no audio.  Something appeared to have startled him because he spun around with his pulse cannon at the ready.  Then the vdeo cut out for just over two minutes.  When the video returned to normal, Rocket was gone with no sign of a struggle.


The last section on each of the heroe's files was something called the COM-ID.  When he reached Galeforce, he decided to copy the string of numbers and letteres and entered it into a search in a different screen.  Only one result popped up: a transposed text of a conversation.  It was short and vague, but gave enough information (It's in the spoiler to keep the post from taking up too much room).

Spoiler

Kort: We have another so called "hero" for you.  I believe you will be impressed with this one's power.  He goes by Galeforce.  As per usual, we are holding him at Blok-9.


Sornin: Well done Mr. Kort.  I shall send a ship to retrieve it imediately.


Kort: And what shall I be expecting in return?  He was the toughest catch yet and I expect fair compensation.


Sornin: Fear not, Mr. Kort.  You shall be well compensated for your trouble.


Kort: Very well.  I have other busness to attend, so expect Ronin to mediate the exchange.

Leo searched for Blok-9 and, after using various programs and key words, finally found it.  "It looks like this "Blok-9" is just a few miles outside of Portwood, under the mountain.  Who's ready to go bash in some skulls?"


(If you have a problem with anything I said here, please address it in the OOC and we can talk about how to make it better.  Please just don't wait too long because the RP might have moved pssed the point where it can be changed after too long.)

"A New Underdog Approaches"
​

Edward watched the carnage of... A... He didn't quite get the gist of it since he just got there but he knew something was up, but it was already over and he was kind of hungry... So, he jumped off the roof, ran his way to McDonalds, ordered 1 Large Fries, 2 Ketchup-Only Cheeseburgers and a Large Diet Coke. "Wait, I don't even like Diet Coke... Crap." Still, he with a bag and a drink in his two hands, he made his way up some random roof and with that he saw someone. Woah, wait. He has a suit like MINE! COPYCAT! Okay.. Cool down... Cool.. Edward thought of the fight that could happen, but with the data he doesn't have on this guy, he can't come up with a good idea of it. If anything, if Edward and this guy would fight, Edward would probably lose. He walked slowly and quietly towards the suit man, and tapped on his suit shoulder. "Hello." Edward said calmly, but extremely anxious and nervous on the inside. 

 

[Danny Blake]

Feeling someone tap his shoulder and hearing someone say hello, Danny turned around to see... actually he has no idea but he looks pretty similar to him. "Who the f- why do you look like me who are you?" Danny says pretty confused but agitated as he draws his swords. "Where i'm from we don't really like copycats so explain yourself or feel the wrath of Death Bringer" He says immediately regretting it because he sounds like some cringey weaboo kid. "and make it quick i have things to do Donut Hole." He says in reference to the giant circle on his helmet. Then he sees the food in his hands and a feeling of hunger comes over him. "Uhh actually explain yourself later what do you have there cuz i'm starving." He says forgetting that he's a damn mercenary that KILLS PEOPLE come on man you aren't supposed to make friends, but you probably will whatever i'm just a narrator.

@Pyro

Did he seriously just call me a Donut Hole... I'M A FUCKING SAMURAI. Come on. "Well, I.. Uh.. I got some McDonalds, 1 Large Fries, 2 Ketchup-Only Cheeseburgers and 1 Large Diet Coke. I don't eat for two so you can see why I only ordered 1. But uh.." Edward reached into the bag, passing one of his cheeseburgers and his Diet Coke. "Yeah, eat up." A Donut Hole.. Really. And who the fuck is Death Bringer. Sounds like a villain of sorts. With some time on his hands, he reached into his bag and started eating the fries, only to find himself with a pile of fries at his feet. Crap, my helmet. I can't just take it off here. It requires a unique level of skill to do so. Guess no fries for me, just one day I'd like to eat something in PUBLIC!  Edward gave the whole bag to the suit man, a little depressed but overall, just happy for the moment, cuz now, he has a lesser chance of dying. So.. What now? "So.. Your name is uh.. Death Bringer? I call myself Underdog nobody else does since I have no goddamn jurisdiction. So.. Yeah."

 

[Danny Blake]

Taking the bag Danny thinks "Man i really wanted to kill someone today. Well the day's not over maybe he can help me on my mission." "Thanks man i was really peckish." he says to.. Underdog? lol seriously he sounds like someone that would get killed just by training in my clan thought Danny  but anyway he seems cool. "So underdog I know we just met and all but you seem okay want to help me out with something?" He says while his suit only retracts at the mouth so as to not give away his identity while he eats. Talking with his mouth full like a pig he says, almost unintelligibly "I am going to remove some pests, mm this is good, but the thing is there is three of them and i can't take on three people or maybe four at once i have no idea where door guy went, but anyway will you help me?"

"Hm... I got to say, killing people doesn't sound too well. And could be dangerous..." Edward continued. "What's in it for me?" He asked. Cause if he was gonna go and start killing people, he'd want to be paid extra or even more. As long as nobody knows that he probably killed someone, it won't tarnish his hero rep. Which is what he needs, if he's gonna get jurisdiction from the government, he's gonna need some rep. "If you pay me a good amount of money or owe me some favor, I'll do it." Edward thought for a moment. Yup, I'll do it if he does something for me or owes me money. That's the deal... Yup.

 

[ChrisClark13]

The fabric of Freya's gloves cracked and groaned as she balled her hand into a fist. Finally, answers and when she was done there would be nothing left of KorTech if she could help it.


The heroine replied in a growl as she put her disguise back up, already heading towards the exit, "I was born ready. KorTech will burn, I swear it."

"Sure i'll do something for you or i'll do you one better if you do good i'll make you my official partner and boy oh boy are we paid good, so what do you say, partners?"


((sorry for the short reply i want it to be before you guys leave))

((sorry for the short reply i want it to be before you guys leave)) 

"Partners." Edward put his hand out for a handshake. "Put it here partner." Yeah no. No way I'm gonna partner up with a guy that does bounties, it's like dating a girl who hunts and kills guys for a living. It's HORRIBLE! This is gonna go bad.. Extremely.  With that, Edward gave his prayers to the pour souls who are about to die.

"Ok now all we have to do is wait for them to come out." Danny says shaking Underdog's hand getting a little burger juice on him. Man, he thinks to himself, am i glad this guy brought food and now he's gonna help me get these guys i don't think i would've gotten very far fighting them on my own. "Well since i don't think you saw what happened let me get you up to speed. There are four people one that has whips and can really fight who i'll be facing, one that can fly and shoot lightning who i'll let you handle, one that like opens doors and stuff idk but i think he left so let's not worry about him and a girl with mechanical wings and that's all i know about her. I sent a guy to fight them so i could watch them and he got his ass handed to him on a silver platter by everyone except mechanical wing girl who just saved some guy from falling off a roof, that's all she did pretty useless but watch out for her or take her out at the start to make things easier and don't get hit by lightning girl idk what her power can do to our suits." After telling UD the situation he finished his food his suit went back over his mouth and he limbered up to get ready for the fight as it could happen at any moment. He watched around intensely to see where they would pop up.

"Okay.. I'm gonna go ahead and find another exit and stake out there." Edward said, getting up. "Bye." He jumped from roof to roof, only to stop and look at another exit. It gleamed like an angel. "There we go." How much teleporting did I do today.. I spent 2 on my way to my house a few hours ago.. And that's all. So I have 18 left. Good to know.

 

[Shog]

Leo quickly transferred some information over to his suit before he stood up.  He snagged his helmet as he walked towards the exit and put it back on.  "I want Collin Kort gone and his business in ruins just as much as you do, but don't lose your head.  Remain calm and don't let your emotions control you."


He knew it sounded cold, but it was effective.  He'd been thought from a young age to keep a level head in stressful situations and how to keep emotions at bay.  They were going to enter a secret facility they knew next to nothing about.  Even with all the data they had, there was nothing as much as a floor plan.  Speaking of plans… 


As Whiplash led the others to a different exit, this one in the middle of a park covered with tres, he began talking again.  "I know we don't have much on this place, but we need a plan.  I propose sneaking in.  This will require some time to scout the area and observe.  Once we get in, I should be able to hold a control room and, well, control.  This will give me the information and ability to lead you to key points with relative safety.  Phoenix, I know you're still new to this and no one is forcing you to dive into this head first.  If you feel the need to drop out of this one or remain outside, you can do that."


Whiplash stopped talking as he opened the hatch and climbed out.  He quickly took in his surroundings and didn't notice anything out of the norm.


@Pyro@Danny Blake@ChrisClark13@Moolock

 

[Moolock]

Cory was still getting herself ready as they stepped out into the park, having remained quiet while they climbed to the hatch. Emotions shouldn't be an issue, she promised herself as she slid on her gloves, reaching into the pocket of her cargo pants for a new lighter. Emotions weren't what she was doubting being able to control, though. Mum's still working on the parachute. I've cut the power and glided before but this is a city, not a forest. Reflecting on this, Cory realized she might be taking to the path she'd always hated in videogames- the glass cannon. She grimaced at the realization her "armor" was nothing but a fire-proof jacket and a fancy engine on her back. Deciding it would be better not going into combat stressed, Cory stored the thought for later. Breaking open the 10-pack, she slid out a nice neon green one, something she could easily see in the dark if it got knocked out of her grasp. After tucking it under the gloves, she grinned to Whiplash as she put on her goggles. "I'm up for whatever you need me to do." The Module on her back clicked and whirred, the wings sliding out not to full length but in a ready-to-use position. She gave a thumbs up. 


She matched her pace to Storm's and nudged the hero gently. At a whisper, she asked, "If you want the place burned when we're done, 'm all for lending a few sparks."


@Shog @ChrisClark13 

 

[ChrisClark13]

Storm Maiden let out a long sigh and fought the urge to roll her eyes when Whiplash commented about staying in control of her emotions. Yeah, yeah, be logical and all that. Logically KorTech needed to burn anyways, so she really didn't see why he was making a big fuss about that.


When Phoenix came up to her side though, she couldn't help but respond with a smirk, "Thanks," she said whispering back, "We're probably want to give the mooks a 15 minute warning first seeing as we'll still want to come off as heroes when everything's said and done. Though before that we'll need steal and-or wipe all of their data." Sure she had what some would call a more cynical view of heroism, but she instead viewed it as more practical. Something she had picked up from Galeforce, at the end of the day to be a hero you just needed to make the world a better place. Though it's not a bad idea to make sure that the public doesn't hate you at the end of the day if at all possible.


Also, looking at Pheonix. the heroine couldn't help but see some of herself in the kid... Ah, might as well dig up some more advice for the newbie, "Also, while we walk I recommend seeing if you can get your flames to form a barrier of some kind. Something you can use to block attacks. Though don't be too hard on yourself if it doesn't work. The best Galefore ever managed was making a wind current that could deflect attacks. While I can make a full body barrier by compressing my lighting around me. Things work differently for different powers."

 

[Danny Blake]

As Danny was patrolling the area he saw them through his binocular sight "Gotcha." He thought as he yelled "CACAW CACAW LET'S MOVE OUT U.D." After saying this he immediately regretted it as the heroes probably heard him giving away his position. Oh well it's time to fight anyway. Danny looked right behind whiplash ready to teleport and as his ability was working it malfunctioned teleporting him 10 feet above whiplash instead. "Oh gad damnit." He said with a crash as he fell on top of whiplash. Being as agile as he is though Danny jumped back in a ready position and drew his two swords. "Hope you're all ready to die. I'll give you all a few seconds to prepare. SIKE." Danny said Running toward whiplash with his swords.

 

[Shog]

Whiplash managed to engulf his suit in energy just before the maniac landed on him.  He still fell, but some of the shock was absorbed.  As soon as there was no longer a body on top of him he jumped up into a fighting stance.  There was at least one more person coming, but U.D. could also be some squad name.  Regardless, they were going to fight.


The maniac charged him with two swords. So he countered with two swords of his own.  Ok, not really, but it worked.  He extended his whips, but kept hem in a ridged stick.  They weren't sharp, but they'd do just fine to counter his swords.


Whiplash countered the first attack and moved a sizable distance away.  "Storm, hit me up!" He yelled extending one weapon in her direction, hoping she'd catch on.  It occurred to him that he never explained how his powers worked to them, so she might just be confused as to why he wanted her to shoot lighting at him.

"Oh what?" Edward opened his eyes as his helmet circle lit itself. "Sorry everyone! Got offline! So sorry!" He got up and teleported his way behind Storm, giving a nice tap on the shoulder. "Why hello storm girl, how ya doin'?" With Edward, sometimes he can be that guy that does good and people do see good in him. But he's also the guy that can do bad and people would see the villain in him. He's a combination of two shots, puts somebody in jail, than breaks them out to have his felony and crime list longer than anyone else's. That's really all. But for now, he's chaotic good. That means he can basically do ANYTHING!

 

[Danny Blake]

"I don't know why you want this storm girl to hit you but i'll do it for you." Danny says throwing one of his swords at Whiplash "Catch." He says teleporting behind him and swinging the sword he has at Whiplash. holy crap this guy is good can Whiplash counter it or hell even dodge both of his swords. Wonder what he'll do? Whoops back to the story. 


(( I was thinking of whether to make his suit teleport him away but i'll let you make that call))

 

[ChrisClark13]

Already charging up energy ever since the Deadpool wannabe showed up Storm Maiden obliged Whiplash by shooting a bolt of lightning at the mook. (Every bad guy was a mook until proven otherwise.) 


It wasn't particularly a strong or well aimed bolt, a testing of the 2Xsword-mooks's defenses and reflexes. She had learned from repeated experience that you did not attack another someone else with powers all out on the first attack, half the time your enemy managed to dodge it or block it leaving you exhausted with nothing to show for it (not to mention that Galeforce had lectured her repeatedly to make sure the lesson stuck).


It wasn't what Whiplash wanted exactly, but it would have to do because right then there was someone tapping her shoulder. Another mook it looks like.


As soon as she had felt the tap, she was already spinning around on her heels, "Don't you get cute with me!" she bellowed angrily as she threw a lightning charged fist at the newcomer.
