Villains & Heroes I: First Struggle: RP Thread

Frostbite
​

"I can't believe it." He said, as the man's chest was perforated. "He was innocent." He looked to Winged Victory, hopelessness permeating him. "We can't win, can we?" He lifted the dying man's body off from the spike, the power source of Glandos still gurgling in his own blood. Nobody deserved to die like that. He put a spike through his head, a quick death.

The Lich
​

"You're kidding right?" The Lich said as the mole man landed right on top of him, smashing his enchanted blade, and slicing his own arm off in the process. "Now I have to make a new one of those! You new breeds are troublesome! All I had to do before was get a spell or two, blast a few villages, then take a kingdom! What's with the mole persons?!" He threw a fit like a child, then recalled his staff back to him.

"You know what, that's alright. I'll come back with better stuff. Indestructable swords, bigger zombies. The works." He turned and left the City Hall, bored with the results he got today, but otherwise informed of the new world he hadn't seen before, and where his cultists came from.

"Stupid mortals." He said, a blue aura glowing around him. "I mean, really, I am a benevolent ruler." The skeleton said, beginning to fade from reality. "I need one of those 'coffee' things I just installed in my break room." He said, walking off into nothingness, and reappearing in his base (unbeknownst to the heroes). Still, the zombie policemen were there, pistols firing at the injured man o' mole.

"Man O' Mole!" Leo yelled, landing down right next to Man O' Mole. 'I might have a way to sustain him for now, maybe I should... hmmm yeah that should work...' He thought to himself, before put his hand over where the arm was sliced off. Leo then shut his eyes and concentrate heavily on creating something out of ki. After 20-ish seconds, Leo was finished, and had created a temporary arm out of ki for Man O' Mole that had small tubing holes to allow his blood to circulate. "This should be good for until you get to a hospital. That arm is temporary, as when I get far away it'll disappear so your call, do you want me to take you to the hospital or will you keep fighting?"

 

[doggodaily]

Daniel was crying out in pain as Leo landed beside him, "AHHHHGGHHH!!" He screamed out as Leo began working on the ki structure, after the 20 seconds his arm was still aching, just not hurting and blaring in pain as much as it was. He stared at it for a few seconds, panting, "Alright..." He winced, "I'm gonna keep fighting, The Doe is still in there, also some other villains." He said as he slowly got up and looked at the zombies, Daniel slowly clenched and opened his fist back and worth until he got used to it. Then the gunshots set off, Daniel dived down and avoided them, "THE ZOMBIES!" Daniel slid beside them, then lifted his only stone covered fist that was left, he clenched it and slammed it against the soil, breaking through, from the force and manipulation, he made the ground rupture beneath the zombies and crack open, making them fall to their demise.

"Power system low, returning to station. Directed by Roskoy Blazković" Two rocket boots opened on its feet. With its remaining power it started to fly to a place unknown. It made a hole through the roof traveling to its maker.

(If anyone saw doggo's post about confronting Doe, I edited it. Doe is nowhere near City Hall. If you didn't see it, ignore this message. )

The Doe
It's working. I push aside this robot's soul, or whatever controlling it. For a brief moment, I am in control. The Mayor falls with a thud to the ground.

"Get the camera ready," I hiss at Agni. Agni quickly readies the camera. I approach the Mayor. "Goodbye." I plunge my knife into the man's heart, then withdrawing the knife. I did it. The Mayor of MegaMetro is dead.

"Wildcard, FOLLOW!" I gesture to Agni, motioning for him to follow me. I sprint up the stairs into the main area. The air base is still there. Those robots were big. Hopefully we slipped past them. I wouldn't be surprised if they still saw us. But there's a small chance we may have successfully escaped. The base is just up ahead. A few more seconds.... But then-

[Solosgar]

MEGAPOST: THE RESOLUTION

Doe stabs the mayor, just as Koro Kami rips free of the cards pinning him to the wall. With a howl, he charges at Wildcard, stabbing his tentacles forward, slashing and slicing. Blood drips from the wounds on his body, but they won't heal.
Wildcard flings torrents of cards, dodging left and right, seeming to be impossibly lucky. Each volley of cards just barely misses Koro Kami, though. Finally, Koro Kami slams Wildcard up against the wall. Tentacles curl around Wildcard's neck.
Desperately, Wildcard waves a hand, but no cards fall out.
"Die... you wretch."
Koro Kami's hand tightens around Wildcard's neck.

Everything's going black... Damn you, Koro Kami...
I can't fight back anymore... no more cards... no...
"I... fold..."

Why is everything going fuzzy?

---
Wildcard's body goes limp, then explodes into a thousand cards which flutter to the ground before disintegrating. In the center lies the ace of hearts, a bloodstain in its center.
Koro Kami stumbles forward, breathing heavily. "I... killed you..."
He reaches down and picks up the card.
Doe and Agni turn, realizing that they may be in some serious trouble. The robots weren't that big - only 7 feet tall, actually - and they definitely noticed them trying to sneak out. And now Koro Kami looks as though he has no purpose in life anymore. Who knows what he might do?
"FLAMEBLADE!"
The shout echoes down the passageway, and Doe and Agni lunge for cover. Koro Kami, standing directly in the view from the stairwell, has no chance of escape.
Did he even want to escape, anyway?
Immediately after the shout, there's a loud train whistle, and suddenly a vortex of flames shoots out of the stairwell. Koro Kami, instead of running, arches his head back as the flames envelop him. You catch glimpses of flesh going black, fingers curling up, and arms shriveling.
Then the flames part for a single second, and the heroes and villains see him a final time, with a grimace on his mask, casting the card free of the flames.

The ace of hearts falls from the fire and lands on the ground, still smoking. Then, the blaze surrounding Koro Kami vanishes. Or rather... the blaze where he used to be.

It's over. Finally. I've finished it all. Wildcard is dead.
Maybe I'll see Cindy in whatever world is after this one. That would be nice.
Goodbye world...

A woman drops out of the stairwell, landing on top of Koro Kami's ashes. Her attire is distinctly steampunk-themed, and she holds a massive bladestaff in one hand.
"Call me Gearknight. Or rather, call me the one who's here to dish out justice."
Doe and Agni step back, rather than join the fight before they know what side Gearknight is on. She charges the smaller of the two robots, which is rooted to the ground in shock.
Then, the other robot lunges in front of the blade, taking it to the chest. The sword pierces the chestplate, before becoming lodged in it. Then, Gearknight turns the blade, like one would turn a key, and flames shoot through the chestplate into the guts of the robot.
There's a gasp. No... the robot is human?

The robot's chestplate has been pierced, down to the body of the human inside of it.
The entire armor suit flashes, flares, and... vanishes.
The pilot is Nishiki?

The remaining bits of what must be nanomaterial float around Nishiki, before vanishing. The robot behind her (who must be another human) moves quickly to catch her as her knees buckle.
"Mysterion... Take what I have left..."
Her fingers begin to disintegrate into glowing blue bits, which pass into the chestplate of the robot.
"You're going to kill yourself!" The voice of the pilot, who must be Mysterion, cracks audibly.
"I already told you about all of this. Remember? You and I agreed..."
The decay begins to pass up her arm, toward her shoulder.
"But... I thought we could fix it! I... I don't want to lose you."
She smiles, even as the rest of her body begins to disintegrate. "You won't. I'll always be right... here..." She taps her head against Mysterion's chestplate.
"Karma..."
Nishiki's eyes close.
"Finally... my name is called..."

Then, her face disintegrates.

I told Mysterion everything. Before we left, I keyed in the self destruct sequence. My lab, and everything the AVD wanted from me, are currently being reduced to slag.
I resigned myself to dying on this mission. It was inevitable. I knew this would happen.
Yet... I feel so sad.
Maybe a broken heart can heal. Maybe there is a tomorrow out there, beyond the limitations of today.
Mysterion... I'll see you again...
I'm going to join you, Nishiki...
A purplish object which Mysterion recognizes as Nishiki's Core drops to the ground. It spins as it begins to dissolve into blue particles, then falls apart entirely.
Doe and Agni, recognizing this as the perfect opportunity, run out of the basement.

Mysterion
"Damn you to hell." The phrase, which I remember Nishiki saying when the AVD captured her, reminds me of her.
The villain, Gearblade, watches me, remorseless.
"People like you need to be eradicated. You've deluded yourselves into fighting for a government which oppresses its people. I'm afraid that you and your friends are the unfortunate casualties of a war which I have come to end."
With that, she launches another cone of fire in my direction.
I feel the new material from Nishiki surging through my robot. It's a dozen times stronger than her suit was.
Damnit, I should have insisted on something! I shouldn't have let this happen!
With a shout, I launch a salvo of missiles from my back at Gearblade, who springs out of the way. She jabs her Flameblade in my direction, and I roll to the left as a tongue of flame jets out of the sword.
"GEARBLADES!"
The Flameblade splits into two sabers, each with a gear-shaped hilt. She charges me, and I fling up my arms to block. Energy blades extend, and parry the Gearblades. I fling them aside, then lunge for Gearknight's heart. She dodges easily, then shouts "GUNBLADE!" and puts the blades together.
With a banging noise, the two swords become one, with many gun barrels mounted on it. She shoots at me, but the bullets ricochet off of my armor. I slice at the shotgun barrels mounted between her two sword blades, and they explode in my face, launching me back. I fire my thrusters, and end up only sliding backward. Gearknight emerges from the smoke cloud, furious.
"I'll kill you for that!"
There's another salvo of bullets, but they bounce off as well.
I advance, then reach behind my back. I feel a tingling sensation, and nanomaterial reforms, becoming two long swords as the missile launchers disintegrate.
I swing the swords, and they clang against the Gunblade. I shout, and I feel the gears within the suit grinding faster and faster, Nishiki's last present to me. The Gunblade bends, then breaks, with another explosion. This time, I flip in midair, land on the wall, and kick off, thrusters in full speed as I charge at Gearknight.
My swords find no resistance. They rip through her bronze breastplate like paper.
Blood sprays out of her body, like a fountain, and it splatters the face of the armor suit.

Justice... lives on...
The mayor is dead...
...even if I must die too.

Gearknight's body slides off of the swords, landing on the ground with a thunk. Her body shimmers, then transforms into a fountain of steam. When the steam clears, only a single bronze gear is left, irreparably cracked.
I pick up the gear with one hand and the card with the other, then leave the basement.
I'll find Doe and Agni, and I'll make them pay for the lives lost in this room.

This is the wrapping up post for this part of the arc!

 

[DailyRoLord]

The Doe
I am still unable to understand what just went on in the basement of the Mayor's Hall. Even as I run to the Master Computer and set our course to City Hall, I have no idea. But I do know one thing. I killed the Mayor. I snatch the camera from Agni, and download the video onto Computer 9. And then I watch it. It's only 5 seconds long, but it shows me bringing the knife- the knife! I must have dropped it! I've been using that knife forever. Ah, we'll have more here.

"Well done Agni. But the fight isn't over. We still need to retrieve our friends at City Hall."

Minutes pass, and we zoom through the air. Even just as we left Mayor's Hall, hoards of police officers were coming- most likely MMPD officers- the AVD would come soon, but after the MMPD. Meanwhile, I pray that no government officers have came to City Hall. I have already anticipated the arrival of heroes, but heroes and AVD officers with high technology may be too much.

Three minutes to destination. I can't believe that we're gonna conquer MegaMetro today. I've been waiting for this moment a long time, since I was a teenager. I've worked so hard to achieve this- I built a base, built hundreds of high tech gadgets, robbed from the AVD a couple times, busted a friend out of jail, attacked the MegaMetro meet- I can go on.

One minute left. In retrospect, I should have brought Dark Mayhem with me instead of Agni. Agni is a great fighter, but Mayhem would have wanted to see the Mayor die in front of his eyes more than Agni. I've been ignoring Mayhem. No worries. When we seize the city, I will give Mayhem what he deserves.

Destination approached. The words echo through the base. I gesture to Agni and run down to the front door, opening it. City Hall is far below- but I can't see anything. Worse, I can't hear anything. Did they defeat the heroes? I didn't expect them too... but if they did, I should be there!

"Agni, they defeated the heroes! Follow!" I spiral down the tube, until my feet reach the ground. I walk out of the tube, and then Agni comes out. I take a deep breath, and swing open the doors of City Hall.

What the fuck?

Dark Mayhem lies on the ground, surrounded by stone and dirt. And his mask. He is far from me, but I can see the deformed face he hid beneath his mask. Glandos and Lukios are nowhere to be seen. I mean nowhere. But if it is one thing I do see, it's a large group of heroes waiting. Waiting for something. No. Waiting for me.

Major Arc 4
Doe's here! Immediately, you notice John Doe and an ally opening the doors of City Hall. Now's your chance to end it all! Here's the final lineup for MA4:

The Doe & Agni vs. Everyone

Solosgar doggodaily Daffybebe IlluminatiChan archur

 

[Solosgar]

Sentinel advances.
“Surrender, and you will not be harmed!” He raises his sword and levels it, pointing at Doe.

 

[IlluminatiChan]

As Agni began to follow Doe into City Hall, Agni realizes very quickly that something had gone wrong and got on the ready. As Doe opened the door, a samurai points a sword at them and demanded surrendering, so in response Agni began to put up his hands up. "Oh wow Mr Doe, I guess we better surrender..." As he hands get almost fully up, Agni snaps his right hand, and a wave of black fire is shot towards the Samurai.

(Is sentinel outside or inside city hall?)

 

[Daffybebe]

She wasn't going to miss the fight, and she can't do much to help just waiting on the roof tops, she grabbed a pipe that lead down to the floor and slid down. She slung her sniper around her left shoulder and unslung her RPK on her right shoulder. She walked into City hall through the door with her gun aimed at Doe and Agni.

 

[Solosgar]

Sentinel, instead of dodging, holds up his blade and catches the fire on it. The blade glows red through the black flames, and with a flick, he extinguishes it.
“Then I will fight you to the death!”

 

[doggodaily]

Daniel looked and pointed at Doe," We're going to end you right here and right now." He looked at his ki-arm. "You better do good." Daniel dug his feet in the ground, "Oh by the way, I defeated your boyfriend." He grinned, meaning Mayhem, he then bounced from the ground and lunged at The Doe, he swung his fist towards his stomach, Daniels whole arm was faster than expected, because it was ki energy, it swung towards Does stomach at high speeds, he let out a grunt of determination as his fist hurled towards his stomach.

[Solosgar]

Sentinel charges at Agni, and slashes his katana in a diagonal sweep from upper right to lower left. He then follows up with a kick to where Agni should be standing, and a forward thrust with the katana.

 

[DailyRoLord]

The Doe
I’m fucked up. I should have been more careful. It will be harder to escape. On another note, my allies have failed me. They failed. If I do escape, getting Agni and myself out is first priority. I don’t care about the others. They failed, they will pay. If we somehow dominate the heroes, I’ll try to get the other villains. But I will punish them.

And suddenly I’m flying through the air. I see the mole man- what happened to his arm?- had just thrown a punch. And it had hit me. I wasn’t paying attention.

“Oh, by the way, I defeated your boyfriend,” the man spat. I stand up, vicious hatred in my eyes.

“Not a boyfriend at all, dumbass. In fact, I don’t care about any of the others! Now that they’re defeated, it gives me more control when I take over this city. I wanted to get Dark Mayhem out of the way eventually. Powerful villain may he be, a fool he is too. So I thank you for saving me trouble.” Suddenly, words fly out of my mouth. Stuff that I’ve never even thought of once before. My hand flies to my mouth.

I need an attack plan. I send soul fragments into the ground. I notice a hole nearby. No doubt the mole man may have dug it, or summoned rocks or dirt out of it. I send fragments down the hole, possessing dirt and rocks. And I send them flying out of the hole, forming a fist of dirt and rocks. I form the fist behind the man, and send it straight towards him.

[doggodaily]

Daniel watched as he had a direct hit and made Doe go flying across the room, Daniel got in a defensive position and chuckled, "When someone lashes out mad that usually means its the truth, they're mad and angsty because the person guessed it!" Daniel grinned, "Also, that's pretty cruel, but you are a sick fuck, so, not surprising." Daniel heard the sound of something behind him, crunching together, then something hurling through the air, he turns then watches as the rock and dirt fist hurls toward him. Daniel lifts his only stone arm and pulls out the rocks that have stone in them, reinforcing his ki fist with the stone, though there were still rocks with dirt and rocks that didn't have stone pigments, the fist was weakened. Daniel bounces left and right, to prevent Doe from getting to his body, then slammed his ki with stone enforced fist into the other fist, breaking half of it. Daniel thought to himself, "I gotta thank Leo, this fist is stronger than anything." When the fist was smaller, but still lethal, Daniel hopped over it and zipped left and right towards The Doe, then going for a kick to his thigh.

[DailyRoLord]

The Doe
As my fist hurls towards the man, he begins to extract pieces of stone. No! That fist would have thrown him across the ro- wait a moment. He’s gathering the pieces of stone on his arm. This isn’t bad. This is wonderful. My opponent is swift, bouncing so that I can’t hit him. But I don’t need to hit him.

I don’t possess telekinesis, I possess the power of possession. Just because he weakened my fist doesn’t mean I’m not still possessing the rocks. And now that they’re on his arm, I can carry out an attack. I stand still, and watch as the man begins to deliver a kick. As he rushes up to me, I counter.

I maintain possession of the rocks on his arm. And I begin to press them against him, clamping his arm shut. I dash backwards, avoiding the kick. But he will be in pain. I’m keeping his arms from moving, and I’m closing shut on his arms with the rocks. While I keep him still, I also regain possession of rocks in the hole. I form another fist of rocks, sending it at him from the back once more.

doggodaily

 

[doggodaily]

Daniel looks as the rocks were closing on his ki arm, "Damn it." He uses his stone manipulators to pull the rocks off of the arm, it took energy due to them being possessed, but he did it then sent him at Doe, he knew it probably wouldn't work but he still tried. Daniel then heard another crunching sound, he turned to see another fist, Daniel quickly jumped on top of it, but he didn't spend any time on it as he backflipped towards The Doe, turned then sent a dropping kick to the Does soldier, by the force of gravity, his weight was pulling him down quick, his foot heading towards his shoulder at quick speeds, he looked down in determination and made sure the kick was directed in the right direction as his foot was diving towards The Doe.

[DailyRoLord]

The Doe
As the rocks hurl towards me, I send them downwards. I’m still in possession, and the rocks are under my control. I bring them close to my body, forming a large ball of rocks. And then the man dodges my other fist. He leaps upwards, beginning to throw a kick at me. In this moment, I throw the rock ball up, flinging the massive ball towards his chest. At the same moment, I roll out of the way.

doggodaily

 

[doggodaily]

Daniel widens his eyes as the ball slams against his chest last moment, he let out a yelp as he flung toward the ceiling, last moment he rolled off of the ball and landed onto the ground, wincing and letting out one final yelp before getting up slowly and rubbing his gut, he then bounced back and forth, "That hurt." He let out another yelp before inhaling then exhaling, he ran and slid toward The Doe, he did a fake pump action kick towards his gut, right after it got close to his gut he flipped upwards and went to punch his jaw with his ki arm, letting out a grunt as he had to stretch, causing him pain as it soared through his body, but he kept the momentum and directed his fist towards The Doe.

[IlluminatiChan]

Watching as the samurai rushed towards him with his sword posed to strike, Agni rolls on his left of the Samurai, avoiding his first slash, and as Agni stood up to recover from the roll, a kick knocks him slightly off-balance. Agni is then knocked into the wall, and watched as the samurai went to stab him with a forward thrust to his upper-chest area. As the blade makes contact, a metallic clang is heard, and the blade is knocked backwards from Agni's armor, but not before giving Agni a shallow cut in a gap of his armor. At the exact moment the blade was knocked backwards, from the mouth on the suit of armor, a breath of black flames is shot out towards the samurai.

 

[Solosgar]

Sentinel raises his sword and catches the flames, but they're much stronger than before. His arms lock, and his feet begin to slide back along the floor.
Then, a cold wind howls through the Hall.
All of the windows shatter, as a blizzard wind smashes the panes.
A woman enters, levitating an inch off the ground on a plate of ice.

She is surrounded by strange ice crystals and chains.
Without saying a word, she claps her hands together, and her crystals begin to levitate around her, swirling like planets around a star.
Then, she flings her hands open, and a bolt of ice energy shoots toward Doe.

 

[IlluminatiChan]

Seeing the samurai begin to struggle, Agni quickly raises his hands and points them towards the samurai. Suddenly, two more streams of black-fire is launched directly towards the samurai.

 

[archur]

Frostbite
​

He stared at the body for some time longer, the sounds around him becoming muffled and mute as he stood over the body of the Glandos power source. Who could do this to other people? So willingly kill others for sport? He stood there, simply watching the blood leak from the dead man's torso, down the spike, and drip into a puddle on the floor.

But it was the sound of ice forming that brought him back to reality.

He turned from the body, to see a few heroes take on some sort of fire-demon-person, and The Doe. The Doe! Time to fight! But as he took notice of the heroes, he felt a smile creep along his face as he saw a fellow ice hero join the fray. Reinvigorated, he ran across the Hall as fast as he could, to where he saw the samurai from the AVD facility earlier combat the black-flame person. Fire won't win today.

He launched a stream of freezing cold at the villain's hands, the sheer blast enough to freeze most things within seconds of contact.

 

[DailyRoLord]

The Doe
The ball hits him squarely in the chest, and the man flies towards the ceiling. As he comes close to the ceiling, I release possession, and the rocks fall to the floor, landing with a soft noise. I take a deep breath. Now is the time to escape. I beckon Agni to follow. But a force pushes me from the back. I’m pushed to the ground, no doubt by a punch from mole man. I quickly get to my feet, and roll to the side. I begin sprinting to the doors. They’re not that far... only a couple more seconds.

And then a cold feeling pierces my body. Ice is forming on my chest. I collapse to the ground, unable to run anymore. My chance to escape is fading. I must leave soon.

Solosgar doggodaily

 

[doggodaily]

Daniel smiles with glee as the hit connects and he is droven back, then a unknown woman flies in and freezes The Doe, "YES, NO GETTING AWAY THIS TIME, ASSHOLE!" He ran and slid, he combined stone in his foot as his boot ripped open and he tilted his foot towards The Does head, he stared as he slid, he refused to let The Doe go this time, it was time for him to end, from the subway attack, to everything else, it was time to stop, he was ready to put a damned end to this. "For T.E.A.M." He thought to himself as he kick angled to his head.
