League Of Sidekicks 3: Future Perfect -- Closed and Over...

[VuvuZelaMan]

Spoiler: OOC

We're about to timeskip, so once we figure out what Umbra and Magus will do... Note the lack of specificity below.

"It seems like a risk... but at this point, any action we take will be. And this way we might have both of them out of the picture..." Darian smiled. "Alright then."

 

[TheDoctor455]

Geoff gently placed a hand on Darian's.

"Very well," he told her, "Do you have any idea where we might find Paragon?"

I figured I was healed, I just thought it'd make a bigger impact if Oliver was left weakened for a little while from the whole thing.

Oliver nodded as he came too while Jason helped him to his feet.. "Thanks for coming back, Jason." was all he said. He looked troubled, as if something was on his mind. What Minus said can't be true. I know that the Renegades still have to be fighting. If he had beaten us, there would be no reason to try and kill our past selves. He would just be putting his victory in jeopardy by messing with the timeline. No, we have to be doing something here that really messes with his operations if he's gone to these lengths. But I guess I won't know any of that until I talk to whoever's in charge. I wonder... I wonder if my family's okay here?

"Well, if they escaped, they'd be near Minus's place, wherever it is. Later on, they'd probably try for somewhere secluded... other than that, not really." Darian thought about the issue some more. "Unless you have some idea what he was going on about with his renegade thing - what is that, anyway? - then I'd try Minus's or maybe Bright Grove."

 

[Dragon_of_red]

<spoiler=OOC>Okay, I'll time skip later. For now, I want you all to think of something.
We are going to find the renegades HQ empty. Your future self left something for you, whether it be some sort of new weapon, some sort of device or instructions on how to better use your powers. They won't increase your powers drastically or instantly, but its juts something to make yourself stronger.
Think about it for the next little bit. And don't worry, Those who sided with me will get something too...

Minus turned around and saw Rachel grovelling on the ground. "You disgust me." he said to her, pulling out his sword yet again, pointing it at her. "I heard what you said before, I'm not deaf." He spat on the floor next to her, as if talking about her made him feel ill. "I am not even going to allow you the dignity to die by my hand. Dren, Jean, do your worst" before sheathing his sword and turning his back on her, looking back out the window.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Magus nodded and turned the key, taking them back to Minus's lair.

Magus and Umbra emerged from the door just as Minus gave the order to kill Rachel.

Should we intervene? I don't see Paragon here... should we leave before they notice us or wait and get some information out of them?

 

[CloggedDonkey]

Rachel looked up at Minus. "Minus, I do want to work with you so I can get this done and go home. It's easier than trying to fight you. If you truly don't want my help because of a lie I told to get the others out of here, then fine, I will not resist. If you are willing to except my help, then I'll do anything for you." She turned around to look at Jean and gave him a pitiful look, hoping that he would at the least spare her, should she not convince Minus. This is not looking good. Gotta get out soon, gotta leave and get to the others... wherever they are. God, I hope Jason is okay. He'll probably kill me if he learns I did this. He'll probably kill me anyway. I... I just need to at least save him, even if that means myself dying. She sat there, motionless. She had excepted that she would most likely die, but was ready to at least make them all hurt, should they attack.

 

[VuvuZelaMan]

Helping this one escape would give us credibility; I say we go for it. Umbra replied, her mask reset before arrival. She thought of tactics for a moment, then inspiration struck. I've got it; I'll wait for her fight to bring her over here, then pull her this way. Then we can leave, and they might think I'm finishing her off. Umbra was sure to stay hidden, but close enough to grab someone if needed. I might need help with her at first though.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Sounds like a good idea.

"Minus," he called out, "Why sully your hands or the hands of your highest servants with Rachel's body? Let us kill her for you to prove our loyalty to you."

To sell this, I might have to treat you very badly for a few minutes. I'm sorry.

 

[VuvuZelaMan]

Won't be the first time... Umbra thought, thinking back to how Shinobi had been sometimes; Umbra was suddenly thankful she wasn't the clingy type. Making her tone subtly more demure - come on, sell this - she added,"Yes, let us show you our loyalty."

 

[TheDoctor455]

"Umbra," Magus barked at her, "Bring Rachel to me so that I may exact Minus's judgment upon her," Magus's voice softened when he called out to Minus, "That is of course if you wish us to, master." Magus bowed.

Bow to him... be suggestive about it. Damn it I hate putting you through this. You can hit me later if you want to get even.

 

[VuvuZelaMan]

Again, not the first time, Geoff. Umbra bowed, hands at her sides. "Your will is our command... Master," she said, stressing the authority aspect - hoping to spark Minus's imaginations. To be fair, it is hard to balance demure and suggestive... Or maybe it's just really not me at all.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Yeah, and I hate acting like a dickhead.

"Well master Minus," he called out to Minus, looking up at him from the bow, "Shall we be instruments of your will? Shall we execute this... weakling for you?"

Come on come on... why doesn't he answer?

 

[Moderationintime]

Dren stared at Rachel. "Wait" He barked as he walked up to her and grabbed her chin, looking into her eyes. Black veins spiraled out from where he touched her veins, her mind filled with the anger and resentment of being left behind by Jason.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Damn it... if Dren keeps that up she might not make it... what the fuck are we going to do? Why isn't Minus talking?

"Dren," Magus yelled at him, rising to his full height, "The master didn't give you an order did he? He didn't tell you to kill her yet! Now why don't you shut up and go chase your own tail like the dog you are!"

I might be getting a little too good at this...

 

[Moderationintime]

"Do not threaten my witch, I know how to ruin you" Dren growled.

 

[VuvuZelaMan]

Same here... Let's hurry this up, this 'demure' act is weirding me out. Umbra remained bowed, breathing slowly to maintain focus. If this goes south, I'll be able to knock her loose, but... Thankfully, expression wasn't needed right now or else she'd not be able to slip back into the act as easily. Or too easily; Umbra didn;t know which would be worse. And yet again I have to restrain myself from bludgeoning this guy's face.

 

[CloggedDonkey]

Rachel looked timidly in the eyes of Dren. This turned into fear as soon as she saw the black veins. "Dickhead, you let go now or I turn you into fucking salsa." She whispered, her voice so low it would probably be hard for even Dren to hear it. So... either get killed here by... I don't know what, get killed, or raped, I don't know, by those two over there, and die, or fight them, hurt a few of them, and die... I am just going to wait it out. Jason wouldn't leave me, would he? No, he already did... fucker. He doesn't care. He doesn't give a shit about me. But... seven years. He has to at least care about me a little. Or he just used me for reliable sex. She continued like this, looking into Dren's eyes, her expression slowly changing to a wicked smile.

 

[TheDoctor455]

"Quiet dog," Magus fired back at Dren, "Or did you forget that I was in your head? I know everything there is to know about you. I know exactly how to end you."

 

[Moderationintime]

"I can not be ended" Dren hissed before turning back to Rachel "What are you happy about?"
