The Society of Justice: A Super Hero Roleplay

[CJ1145]

Alister slowly came out of a deep sleep. He'd dozed off on the ride over without anyone noticing. Katie asked him where his sword was, and if he could sense it. "No," he responded. "as much as I'd like that the sword works for anybody. I just happen to be the one that's kept it out of other people's hands. I might be able to remember where I dropped it though."

He scanned the ruins, trying to remember what happened as they left. He wearily pointed a hand at the top of a pile of rubble leading from one of the buildings. "That's where I collapsed." He said. "My sword should still be around there."

 

[tsatoma]

Garrus nodded and got off his bike to go look. He climbed over all the rubble, almost falling when some of it collapsed. "Holy shit, need to be more careful," Garrus said startled as he continued. He started digging through some of the rubble when he got to where Alister had pointed, throwing rocks and dirt as he searched for it.

"Hey there! Found it! Alister if I touch it would it do anything? I mean I'm wearing gloves now but would it still do whatever it does?" Garrus asked not willing to continue until he knew.

 

[CJ1145]

"Yes!" Alister called back. "The sword grants power to whoever's holding it, it doesn't really discriminate. Gloves don't really have an effect, if there's a grip whatever happens to be gripping it gets a massive power boost."

 

[tsatoma]

Garrus nodded, about to grab it before inching away slightly. "Now I'm kinda scared to touch it. What if it hates me?" he asked, worried about what it would do. Requiem beeped at him, frantically waving his arms.

"I think you want me to hurry up. Fine just hold on, jeez," Garrus said to him, reaching down a grabbing the sword. Power rushed through Garrus' arm as he picked it up out of the rubble, startling him when it happened.

"Holy hell this sword makes you feel pretty great," he said as he started to climb back down. He walked over to Alister and handed it to him. "Here you go. Now you'll be ready for the fights and- goddammit Requiem stop doing fucking donuts with my motorcycle!" he yelled, turning his attention to his adopted brother who was driving around in circles.

 

[CJ1145]

Alister retrieved his sword from Garrus, immediately smilin gin relief. He stood up to test it out, and almost fell over, but used the sword as a cane and within a few moments was walking well enough. He turned back and got on the bike again, giving a thumb's up to Garrus.

"I'll be good and ready by the time we get to the fight."

Richard immediately landed and grabbed the front of the motorcycle and he had to simultaneously lift it to keep if from crashing. He grabbed Requiem from off the top of it before placing the motorcycle back on the ground undamaged.

"Anymore of that and you'll be doing your best to hold on at fifty thousand feet at speeds that break the sound barrier, understood?" Richard said in a somewhat joking manner.

"Next time Garrus, make sure you take the keys with you when you leave your bike. I'm surprised it hasn't already been stolen if what just happened is any indication of how careful you usually are with that bike."

 

[tsatoma]

"Glad to hear it. Let's get going," Garrus said, waiting as Richard put down the bike in front of him, "Thanks Rich."

Requiem jumped back onto the bike before could get on, revving it a few times and pointing over to the freeway.
"You...want to drive it all the way over there?" Garrus asked, getting a nod from Requiem. He sighed as he thought about it, "Okay look. I'll let you drive over there but if you so much as put a scratch on it I'll have you dismantled!"

Requiem nodded excitedly, waiting as Garrus got on before zooming off back onto the street to get back onto the freeway.

 

[blaze96]

"Sure Garrus, let's just get over there." Richard said before taking off and following them gain.

 

[CounterAttack]

"All right. Glad that that was quicker than I expected," Katie said as she started off after Requiem and Garrus. Camille and Leland aren't going to save themselves, she thought. Besides, I figure I probably owe them both for saving us all from Mordtoten's virus. To amuse herself while she drove, Katie extended a few vines from the armour covering her elbows and let them trail behind her as she sped up.

 

[tsatoma]

Requiem and Garrus were both silent on the journey, Garrus only mentioning when Requiem needed directions. Once they reached Lakefall Requiem led them through the small city, knowing the area well enough to take shortcuts. They exited the main area of the city, and were now on a highway. Requiem led them onto a small road that took them further from Lakefall, driving up a hill before coming to a stop and pointing down below.

Down on the side of the Lakefall valley was a large, circular building that looked oddly in place surrounded by the dark green of the valley. The building looked serene in the moonlight, the light reflecting off the many dark windows that covered the building. A siren was blaring below with red and yellow lights flashing, lighting up the figures of people running into the building.

"Guess we got here in the nick of time...for something," Garrus said with confusion, not sure what was going on.

 

[blaze96]

Richard landed beside them.

"Looks like those loyal to the Union are putting up a hell of a fight. Should prove to be a great distraction for us. Should also prove to be great allies for when we actually try and free the rest." he commented after landing.

 

[CJ1145]

Alister stepped off the bike, limping over to the others. By now he could walk without the use of his sword, though he kept it well in hand.

"So, what?" He said. "Think we'll be fighting more of those mercs, or will the suits finally show up?"

 

[blaze96]

"No, I'm sorry to say it with both Garrus and Requiem here, but the suits would not be sent out on such a...trivial matter. They will be saved for when Sykes intends to start world conquest, considering I'm sure he already knows the nations of the world know. Since he isn't ready to do that yet, it would basically move things along to quickly." Richard said as he watched the scene play out.

 

[CounterAttack]

"Understandable," Katie said as she got off her bike and moved to join the group. "So do we wait for numbers of both sides to diminish as they fight amongst themselves, or charge in there right now and deal with both sides?"

 

[tsatoma]

"I take no offense Richard, think Requiem does though. I'm not sure what we'll do Katie. Perhaps waiting would b-" Garrus started before falling off his motorcycle as Requiem drove it down towards the Union base.

"God fucking dammit! I knew I shouldn't have trusted a teenager!" Garrus yelled as he picked himself up and turned to the others, "We go in now. Come on!"

 

[CJ1145]

Alister raised his sword somewhat half-heartedly. "Into the breach, comrades!" He leaned forward, letting gravity move him down the hill towards the base.

 

[blaze96]

"Alright, sorry Garrus, but I'm going to give an order on this one. Nobody attacks members of the Union, is that understood? There is an old saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and we need all the friends we can get right now. I don't care if it conflicts with your concept of good and evil, this is for the good of every single person on this planet." Richard said as he flew towards the building, catching up with Requiem as he drove towards the building. He made no move to stop him, since he was going to suggest quick action anyway.

 

[CounterAttack]

Katie ran after the others, speaking into her comm as she did so. "Jason, where are you? We're gonna need all the help we can get!" While she waited for a response, she continued following the group towards the fighting. As she did so, she grew a few thorns from her armour and expanded the mass of plant life on her hands to give herself better hitting power.

"So which are the Union members anyway?" Katie asked. "Can you tell?"

 

[CJ1145]

Spoiler: OOC

*Mwah* Goodnight, everybody!

 

[tsatoma]

"Now that you mention it..." Garrus started as he got closer to opened gate (Requiem had drove the bike through it). Everyone was running inside the building, with some attacking Requiem as he drove the bike into the base.

"I think that everyone that is running inside is one of Syke's goons," Garrus said, jumping over one of the guards and knocking him out with a swift punch before continuing to run. "So basically hit whoever you want right now, just be more careful once we get in."
