mister terrible continued to run towards his objective not totally sure where it was he smashed into a store and stole a street directory he flipped through the pages and spotted it the: broadcast tower he grinned manically and ran off still holding the street directory he saw that he could get there quicker by taking a short cut through the park he entered the park not really paying attention to his surroundings he was running around the path searching for a way out and out of no where he slammed into a woman who was wearing what he could make out to be jeans and a halter top mister terrible staggered to his feet obviously expecting the woman he crashed into to be dead he continued on slowing to a jogging pace and made sure to look where he was going.
The electric shock that Ray received flung him into the air, as he was flying into the sky he regained his posture and started playing Ride The Lightning by Metallica.
With each note of the song a thunder bolt struck from the sky then suddenly one huge one hit the ground where 3W was creating a huge explosion and a crater around him. Bells started sounding again, as ray started to play Hells Bells by AC/DC he was risen into the air, the sky around him turned red and the ground started to shake furiously.
Atempting to put Ray off, 3W launched into a rendition of Everybody's Screaming, and an unearthly wail filled the air, threatening to drown out Rays song. Then, he leapt skywards, beginning Supermassive Black Hole, and the very air began to vibrate as said black hole began to form above Ray.
Ducking behind a car was sufficient to avoid the two projectiles. She peered out from behind the car, expecting Steve to be lying face down in a puddle of blood. No such hope. In fact, he wasn't even bleeding from the wounds in his chest. These powers must be getting stronger...
The ground was shaking violently, and cars were starting to float upwards. Following the trajectory upwards she saw a black hole, opening up from above the man with the guitar. "AND YOU PEOPLE WONDER WHY YOU NEED TO KILL EACH OTHER!?"
With the rate of trying to kill each other, you guys are going to have destroyed this city within it's next few minutes.
"S**t" Ray said as he looked behind himself "May as well go out with a bang". he held his guitar and somehow played metal renditions of Dragostei Din Tei (Numa Numa song), Carrameldansen and Never gonna give you up (The rick roll song) all at the same time, It was a feat never thought humanly possible. as he was playing, his guitar started glowing white which soon infected Rays own body. All elements were shooting out of his guitar, fire, water, lighting, and soon after there was a huge explosion that destroyed any remaining buildings and cleared all the ground of rubble. Ray was no more.
Looks like me and Ray are out, oh well it was fun while it lasted. Bye guys ;p
Some time later, the dust cleared. Later still, 3W's mainframe came back on-line. Very quickly, he made several decisions. 1)Never use that kind of power level again. 2)Lie back and wait for the repair systems to finish their job
He returned to a robotic version of sleep, safe in the knowledge that everyone thought he was dead.
HOLY S&%#! Steve thought as the explosion ripped the town apart. He was pushed towards the ground, and hoped that it would be over soon.
Somehow, he managed to survive. He was badly beaten, though, and bloodied. He wasn't able to see through all the smoke that rose from the ground. Damn it... he thought. At least they'll leave me alone now.... He started walking away. He tried to go to the old arcade and the basement, but all the roads were covered in dust, and there were no buildings around. He couldn't go anywhere.
And then he heard a sound of something buzzing near him. He turned, and saw a robot, resting on the ground. It's destroyed... he thought, turning around, and walking away.
mister terrible was catapulted through the air slamming straight through a tree and into a park bench.
"OW" mister terrible said rolling off the bench and onto the ground he landed with a thud he slowly picked himself up and staggered to his feet.
"What the fuck was that hope it`s still there and I did`nt think we could generate such power,but that will make my plan all the more sweeter" mister terrible grinned dusting himself off he turned for the broadcast tower and set off he dashed around the streets but after an hour he was lost and just gave up he started smashing through the walls of buildings and eventually he saw what he was looking for in the distance.
"not long now" mister terrible muttered to himself as he bolted off to his destination.
David had been hiding. He was on his way to the clothes shop when he heard some sort of music and was immediately thrown back to the wall. The man with the guitar just had exploded, destroying a good chunk of the city. Only few very beaten buildings stood and rocks were still raining from the sky. David cracked his elbow back to place and surveyed the area.
There was two people, both male nearby. One of them was lying down... the another one was all beaten up and leaving? Maybe he had won? David realized that he wouldn't survive long without any "alliance" with these, who also had similar powers. He made his move and stepped out of his cower, onto sight of the man leaving.
Repairs complete, 3W sensed the man walking away. As soon as he judged it safe, he got to his feet and followed. He saw another man approach the first, and as they talked, he walked up carefully.
He had a new plan. Working with these superhumans would be far safer than trying to defeat them.
"My god!" He said, affecting a human style of speech, "That guitar man was insane! What happened to him?"
David stepped back. He thought the man lying down was already dead.
"No effin' idea. I just got here, you should probably ask this guy... guitar man?"
Running his hand over his right arm, David healed some of the cut wounds on it. They melded shut, stopping the blood from flowing freely. David whimpered - the healing was a neat ability, but it wasn't the most comfortable one.
mister terrible had reached the broadcasting tower a large iron tower with crisscrossing beams running up to a large ball on top he saw a small building on the other side it being the main control room he stormed into the building kicking down the door to see a small group of human`s about five or so running a broadcast they immediately stopped and mister terrible walked up to the broadcasting desk and leaned in to talk to the news presenter.
"leave and I won`t kill you" he muttered the presenter immediately ran off set and out the door,mister terrible then turned to the cameras and said.
"put me on every channel available or you`ll know exactly what it feels like to be a lightning rod" mister terrible said pointing at the camera man.
"this is the only channel we`re an emergency broadcast" the cameraman stammered back.
"well good then you should`nt have a problem broadcasting what I`m about to say" mister terrible than sat down at the presenters desk in front of the camera and made his speech broadcasting to all the radios and T.V left in the city.
"my fellow superhumans my name is mister terrible formerly terry I am here to present a message a message of war for too long this crap hole of a city has kept us down and pushed us around,for too long we have been passed over for inferior people but now we have the means to take over this city, join me my fellow demi-god`s for we shall not only take over this city but THE WHOLE WORLD if you wish to join me meet me at the emergency broadcast station" mister terrible said cackling at the end of his sentence he then exited the station and jumped up to the roof waiting for the first signs of people to show up.
The whole world.... They were there - but they weren't going after him. Or maybe they were. Or maybe this was a trap. No matter what it is, there is no time to waste. The sooner I get rid of them, the sooner I'll be free he thought. He went to the emergency broadcast building.
Few blocks away, he hatched a plan. He went into a nearby skyscraper, and walked his way to a window that was overlooking the emergency broadcast station's roof. He jumped. Downdowndowndowndowndowndown- oof! The landing hurt, but he quickly got up. He looked around, hoping to find himself alone.
Is actually paranoid. From the first meeting with the shooting woman, he thinks everyone is after him. Of course, he's ready to fight back, and he tries to find "them" (as to who are "them", nobody knows. Not even Steve. Not even me.)
David glanced around the ruined buildings. The voice was coming from an nearby TV, which survived the blast, badly cracked though. It crackled it's message, ending in a diabolical laughter.
David felt cold streams shiver up his spine. World domination? No, he was just to teach everyone a lesson, resurrect them and continue living normal life, not world domination or any other idiotic schemes. This was getting out of hand and David had to put an end to it.
He turned back to the two men... only to notice one of them running away into a building. David let out an weary sigh.
"You heard that, right? This is just fucking crazy.", he asked 3W.
Shit... The broadcast was short, and she could only just make it out, but the message was clear. He's actually trying to take over what's left of the city. She would make her way to the broadcasting station, but not to join him. A smirk crept it's way across her face. She clutched her arm, limping slowly after the robot. She would have to join someone to help her kill mister terrible, and 3W was the best option.
mister terrible gazed from the emergency broadcast station`s rooftop he spotted five people in the distance as they drew closer he made them out to be 4 men and a woman they walked straight up to the station and looked at mister terrible.
"we`re here to take over the world" one of them said a man muscular build. mister terrible lept from the roof and landed in front of them.
"so what can you do" mister terrible said pointing to the man who spoke earlier.
"just watch" the man then turned around and dashed back to the city running faster than anyone mister terrible has seen today he then saw a loud crash and two buildings collapse then the man ran back.
"that good enough for you" the man said.
"yep by the way what`s you name" mister terrible asked
"Larry" the man identified himself as.
"well Larry your on the team" mister terrible then turned to the three men and woman and asked them the same question one of the men turned out to have the power to summon creatures from the earth he demonstrated his power by having two small imps sprout forth from the ground they were black and snarled at mister terrible ,another had the power of telekinesis he demonstrated it by picking up a signpost and impaling it through a brick wall with his mind another had the power to transform objects he picked up a blade of grass and transformed into a sword pointing it at mister terrible`s throat.
"well that`s all fine and good" mister terrible grabbed the blade and took it from his hands and hung it on his belt. he then turned to the woman and asked her what her power was she simply blinked and disappeared she reappeared on the roof of the broadcast station.
"good you`re all in now this will be our main base of operations you please make it a little more suitible" mister terrible said pointing to the man who could change objects.
"got it I`m gonna need materials though" he said.
"okay you telekinesis guy lift him some things from the city" he ordered.
the telekinesis man then raised his hand and slowly bits of metal and wood raised them selves from the ground and floating back to the station.
"you summoning guy we need some guards" mister terrible ordered the summoner.
"got it" he pressed his hands against the ground and skeleton like creatures rose from the earth he ordered them to march around the perimeter.
"what are me and her gonna do" Larry said pointing to the woman on the roof.
"you two assist summoner in guarding the place while telekinesis guy and the object changer build up our defenses I`m gonna wait inside" mister terrible said walking to the front door.
the people that will join my cause aside from any players that want to
((OOC: Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get to talk yet. Also (just wondering), will we ever get to see chapter 2?))
Steve examined the door on the roof. It didn't look too strong - though it was made of metal, and it would make a lot of sound if he broke it. He smiled. That won't be too much of a problem. Down, forward, down-forward . He teleported himself on the other side of the door.
The upper floor was a mess - probably because of the explosion. There was not a single person there. He could hear some noises the lowest floor. He turned around, only to find a security camera looking directly at him. Shit...
Heavy tanks rolled towards the city, accompanied with the shrieking sound of the F-18 experimental aircraft. "The Company", as the people dubbed it, had shown it's interests on these superhuman people and sent their private army to "negotiate" with them...
"Yeah, we need to try and stop him." 3W replied. It was hard, talking like a human, both because he hated to lie, an because all humans talked like they were superior, and to talk like that to human was near unthinkable. He steeled himself, and thought of the greater good to be served.
Suddenly, he detected someone approaching.
"Wait. Someone's nearby!"
This is your cue to enter our conversation
This is my 400th post =D
Sorry if that seems pathetic to you long-time Escapists, but I'm still proud =P
She was still limping and clutching her arm as she got closer to the robot, and another person she had not seen before. Attempting to look as weak as possible, she hoped that the robot wouldn't attack her. "I'm friendly. I heard the announcement, just like you did..." Her oxygen debt was well paid by now, and her breathing had returned to normal. "And if you hadn't chased me across the city, I might have been able to kill the guy already..."
Well done, Threewords. I do like people when they take some pride in their post counts, rather than just treating them like e-penises...
