Society of Justice 3: Crisis on the Earth

[NeoAC]

Brian was standing outside watching Alex and Tyson do their best to inflict as much pain on each other without either of them registering a kill. It was a great fight. The equal of any UFC Main Event, and this was better, since it had superpowers. He was throughly enjoying until the intercom came on.

"Awww, awww, mission, really? Damn it. That $40 was good as mine, eh? Darn." He trudged back inside, looking around, trying to remember the way to the garage.

Levi looked at the grenade, then back at Leland as he explained what happened the last time he went to talk to the Doctor. He always knew the Doctor was a bit...off in the head and frankly found him creepy. Although he never made any attempts to advance on him, Levi made sure to keep his visits to the Doctor as infrequent and brief as possible. When Garrus asked if he could start up the Merriweather, he nodded. "Yeah, sure thing, Garrus. She'll be ready in a few," he said as he stood and pushed his chair in. Running into Taryn on the way to the hangar, they both made their way to the parked Merriweather. Getting into the pilot and copilot seats, they made the pre-flight diagnostics and piloted the ship to just outside the Promenade and touched down. "And now we wait..." Levi said as he let out a long breath.

"That is a grenade Jason, and yes it is," Garrus replied simply getting up from his seat, figuring enough time had passed for the Merriweather to be ready. He headed out before everyone else to go and speak with Lillian, finding her still over by the fight.

"This is still going on then?" he asked to no one in particular, looking over at his son who seemed to be getting ready to fall over asleep at any moment, "Hey Lillian, should we just let Renton stay and nap over here? He is usually asleep for at least four hours, more than enough time for us to get over to Kent and tell Mordtoten to stop. Then again the Doctor would be the only one here..."

"Talbot can babysit," Leland called as he walked over, the bird on his shoulder ruffling his feathers and Renton already trying to reach out to touch the bird.
"Are you sure he won't try to...do anything?" Garrus asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked over Talbot.
"Pfft, he won't do anything. I already told him to never harm Renton, and he does whatever I say...and hell it's better than having him meet Prof. Mordtoten for the first time...or the Doctor," Leland muttered, slight malice in his voice at the word 'Doctor'.

"Well...uh what do you think Lillian?" Garrus asked.

 

[blaze96]

"If the baby is hurt by anything, I'm killing the bird. That's a promise, so you better make sure my baby is fine when I get back." Lillian said as she handed Renton to Garrus.

--------------------------

"I'll go get my armor on." Richard said as he walked back inside.

 

[tsatoma]

"He'll be fine, right Leland?" Garrus asked his brother, who nodded as they both headed back inside to get him ready for bed. They walked through the Promenade and into the lounge, deciding that putting Renton in the room Lillian still had would be the best idea. Leland brought in Talbot's stand and let the bird sit on the top, putting it next to the bed and the already sleeping Renton.

"You know I'll kill you too if Renton is hurt by that bird by the time we come back," Garrus told Leland as they walked down the hall, his brother laughing before growing silent as they went through the Promenade and into the Merriweather.

"Let's hope these guys get their stuff done or else we might just have to leave without them," Garrus muttered as he sat down and buckled himself in.

 

[elementsoul]

Tyson felt an intense heat flow through his armor and burn his skin as his fist made contact with Alex's face. Its not going to be that easy! "Thank you." Tyson said in a soft calm voice. Tyson then used every ounce of strength left in him to fight through the pain and grab Alex lifting her in the air and he swung his head back. As Tyson moved it forward for a headbutt it turned into him collapsing more than anything.

 

[Lizmichi]

Alex yelled in pain and gasped as he picked her up. She charged her hands with gray light but failed. She collapsed on top of Tyson and looked at him. "I'm impressed with your skills and I see you're point." Alex said getting up and panted.

"I haven't had a fight like that in years. well done." Alex said helping Tyson up.

 

[RBMidknight]

"Yep." Taryn spun her chair around in a lazy circle, careful to avoid hitting the console with her feet. "How long do you think it will take for everyone to get on board?" she asked. 'Maybe we could install a DVD slot into the console...and hook it up to a small monitor. That way we could watch a movie while we wait.' It would take some rewiring but it should be possible. Maybe. As a few of the Society members stepped on-board Taryn stopped spinning her chair around and faced the console. She was getting dizzy, anyway.

 

[elementsoul]

Tyson accepted Alex's help up and waited till he was on his feet before responding to her. "Few people have tied me in a fight. Almost no one has beat. You've gained miles of respect for making the former's list. And as for your point, I think you did a good job of imprinting it into my genetic code. Its been a little over three and a half years since my last fight li..." Tyson's voice cut off before he could finish his sentence. Of all the times I have to think of that now. Why the fuck did I have to think of that now.

The Merriweather landed on the lawn behind Tyson as he started walking back to the Promenade. This gives me an excuse for cutting off that sentence off at least. Tyson checked his communicator and heard the message that they had a mission. "Looks like we have to tend to something," Tyson said. "I'll make you a deal. You said you let people in, so I'll let you in after this mission." Tyson hurried of to his room. This could blow up in my face but its worth a shot. Shit! I'm going to need to get my gun and my replacement plates. I hope I have enough time to replace them and get healed up before we get where we are going.

Tyson entered his room, put on his mask, and grabbed his bag; throwing his gun, six magazines, and his spare plates in to it. Tyson then grabbed the custom tool used to remove the plates and started removing them and putting them in his bag as he headed towards the Merriweather. By the time Tyson had entered it he had removed a quarter of the broken plates on his armor. Tyson took a seat in the second row of seats from the front as he continued to remove the broken plates.

 

[Lizmichi]

Alex got on the ship healing her self with her water and waited for Tyson so she could heal him as well and steal a moment of his time. She smirked sitting back and felt better about the fight.

"To think I enjoyed a fight with an ally." Alex said to her self. She saw Tyson walk in and got up. "You might need some healing." she said making her water dance around his body. "Also there has to be a better way to protect your self then with plates that break all the time." she said.

 

[elementsoul]

Tyson let Alex heal him. Still a little stiff and not as good as Brian's abilities, but I'm not going to complain about any accelerated healing. "Thanks for the patch job," Tyson said to Alex. "For the record, my armor is built to stop standard armor piercing rounds. Its not meant to go up against a giant mechasnake or superpowers. However it still acts as a damn good damage buffer. Its also knife and blade proof which is well beyond useful anyways." Tyson said now removing any addition broken plates from his armor.

 

[NeoAC]

Brian eventually found his way back outside to see the ship landing there. "Right, yeah, jeez, of course it comes out where I was standing." He saw the ship and came aboard, seeing the combatants already on there was a bit surprising, but Alex said she was able to heal as well, so it stood to reason she would heal them both I guess. "Oh hey, eh? So..umm...who won that fight technically?"

 

[Lizmichi]

Alex smiled some sending the water back to the gourd on her hip and looked up at him after re-corking it. She looked up just in time to see Tyson pull out more of the broken plates from his armor.

"That's impressing that it can stop armor piercing rounds and stab wounds. I was able to break that many of them during the fight?" she asked picking up one of the broken pieces and inspected it.

"This is very well done. Who made this for you?" she asked still amazed at his armor then looked at Brian.

"It was a tie. Nether one of us could land the finishing blow but Tyson came close. if he had landed his head butt I would be out." she said.

 

[Pm0n3y]

"Oh yeah, that was definitely a tie." Jason answered along with Alex as he took a seat aboard the Merriwheather.

"If it went any further though, I probably would've put my money on Alex as the true victor due her stubborn bipolared-ness. But then again, It looked like Tyson was holding his own pretty well." He said, looking up at Brian, his armor crawling up his face in black tendrils as he began to restlessly tap his claws against his leg, as eager to leave as Taryn and Levi.

 

[NeoAC]

"Awwww, seriously? Dang," Brian sighed. "Well I guess I won't be getting that steak poutine dinner after all." He took the same seat that he had on the first trip out. "Oh well, what can you do?"

 

[blaze96]

Richard had changed into his suit and rejoined the others.

"Hopefully this means we can finally work together with as a team. I hope to god one day a group of new people has no problems with those already there or in there group. That would be such a wonderful day."

------------------

"A dream like that is impossible." Lillian said as she walked back out fully suited up and ready for action.

 

[Lefthandofgod]

Steven walked onto the airship to join his companions. He sobered up rather quickly for someone who just went through a bottle of Vodka. "Hey Tyson. Don't worry about your armor. I may not be a medic, but,"-he waved his hand and Tyson's armor glowed a blazing silver-"You can't beat my armor unless you're getting hit by a tank."

 

[CounterAttack]

Rowan and Katie joined the team in the Merriweather, the former complimenting the latter on her choice of defenses as he took a seat. Katie explained that it was far better for her needs than conventional armour such as that which Richard or Tyson wore. Nodding in understanding, Rowan then turned to shoot a quick look at Alex to see if she was free to talk. At the sight of her examining some form of metal plate, he elected to try and catch her at another time, settling back in his seat.

 

[elementsoul]

"It was that gray light of yours that broke most of the plates. The government made this armor for me back when I saw a soldier. I was wearing it when I was betrayed and kept it every since." Tyson replied to Alex.

Tyson heard Steven say something and then his armor glowed silver. Tyson turned around to look at Steven and said, "Steven I like the gesture, but your light makes me a glowing target. No offense but I like to stick to my normal black armor."

Tyson now started installing the new pieces. Lucky for himself the spare parts he was out of were no longer needed. "Alex I almost forgot to ask. What is that gray light?" Tyson asked actually curious seeing how well it tore his armor to shreds.

Once everyone was seated in the cockpit of the Merriweather, Levi piloted the ship out of the hangar and pulled her up into a climb until they reached cruising altitude. After asking Garrus for the exact location, he entered in the coordinates and set course towards Kent, in the north. According to Garrus, they were heading to Mordtoten's house. The last time they paid the mad scientist a visit, he had unleashed a giant lizard named Fluffykins that nearly destroyed the city. Knowing Mordtoten's signature brand of mad science, this would be an interesting encounter, to say the least.

Making great time, Levi started to bring the Merriweather down as they approached their destination. As the ship approached the suburban street, he gradually reduced power in the engines to assure a safe touchdown; smashing the Merriweather into an unsuspecting citizen's house wasn't the best way to maintain PR. As Levi guided her into a graceful landing, he disengaged the boarding ramp. "Okay, people, let's see what he's up to".
