The Society of Justice: A Super Hero Roleplay

[blaze96]

Richard walked the bike into the garage and decided he'd get his tools to get the panels off before the armor arrived. He walked back into his room and collected everything he used to fix the suit, it would be more than enough to fix the bike. He walked back into the garage and set about removing the paneling. once it was off he sat back to wait for the parts and armor to arrive.

Tommy walked into the Garage holding two artifacts in either hand, in one he had a small statue of a lion's head, and a breast plate embossed with a spider, he also had three scrolls with him. He laid the two artifacts down on the bench for Richard to see.

[color= Blue] "These are the artifacts I'll install once the armor is on, the lion head will protect the bike from energy, thinks like fire, lightening, other kinds of pure energy attacks, I think it should also keep the bike's engine from overheating as well. The breastplate will be put on the bottom of the bike, but it should let the bike ride on any surface, like the side of a building for instance."[/color]

 

[blaze96]

"Interesting, will I need to design ways to hold these artifacts with the armor itself? I could easily design indents in the shape of the artifacts where you plan to place them. Have you also given thought to the performance upgrades proposition to make up for any balance or speed issues caused by the armor? They won't be that bad or particularly even noticeable, but I could do it." Richard said as he looked over the artifacts and began outlining the individual plates after placing them on paper in order to fabricate them in the armor. The size would come out to be the same if he did the job right, and he could easily get measurements for the artifacts he would could have a place for if Tommy wanted them.

 

[Captainguy42]

[color= blue] "The Lion's head will have to be intact, but as you can see it's pretty small, no bigger than a hood ornament, it can be attached to the from fender as long as the statue is intact, the base can be altered, the breast plate can be cut, so long as the spider and runes around it remain intact, we can then weld it too the bottom. If you can increase performance to make up for the weight please do."[/color]

 

[blaze96]

"Well if I can get measurements of them I can actually create indents in the armor that we can then place the artifacts inside of before covering them with plate that we will rivet in place, so that we can still access them in case you ever want to take them out." Richard said before adding onto the armor order with new parts to balance the bike out again.

"All right, it shouldn't be long now, they just needed to get everything on the truck. Anything else you want to add on before they come over to drop everything off and I set to work?"

 

[Captainguy42]

Tommy shook his head, and got to work cutting down the breast-plate to the crest.

 

[blaze96]

Richard waited for Tommy to finish his preparations for the shield before measuring both of them and adding in the indents to the necessary plates. By the time he had finished that delicate process and had the plans made the truck had arrived and everything was unloaded. He set to work under the bike starting with removing the parts he was replacing and putting in the newer parts. By the time he was out from under the motorcycle one two and a half hours later his hands and face were already fairly black with grease and soot. He had changed into jeans and a white button up shirt before setting to work and the shirt was now partially black as well.

He cut out the plates and formed the indents for each piece before placing them on and securing them which took another couple of hours to do, Richard had to wear a face mask for all of it to make sure he didn't blind himself with the welding and cutting torches. The bike was almost finished almost five hours after he had begun, with the only things left being placing the artifacts in their respective positions and covering them. He had Tommy put the artifacts in before riveting the plates over them with the mask still on since he hadn't bother to take it off. With the bike completely finished he took the mask off and looked to Tommy.

"Happy with how it turned out? If you aren't, say so now since I'd like to see if Omoi was at least kind enough that his boys left us with the capability to take a shower." He joked as the armored bike sat finished at his feet. Sweat was dripping from him and created lines down his face as it took the soot with it. He tried to wipe some of the sweat on his face with his arm and only succeeded in making what had dirtied his face make his sleeve filthy as well.

Tommy gave Richard a thumbs up,

You can go, thanks for everything, I just need to do one last thing by myself.[code]

He walked over to the bench and grabbed the scrolls he had brought in earlier.  He unrolled them and began slowly wrapping the bike in them, until the frame was completely covered. The scrolls where decorated with and intricate design of ruins and symbols, each laid out with care.  Tommy spoke a few words, and suddenly the scrolls caught fire and burned until only ashes were left.  When Tommy brushed of the soot he could see that the runes on the paper had become engraved all over the surface of the bike.

[code] These ruins will channel energy through the bike and let me activate the artifacts without touching them. Go see what the others have been up too, I'm going to take a test ride.

With that Tommy mounted the bike and revved the engine, before driving out of the garage.

 

[blaze96]

Before went back to his room and got on the comm, knowing Tommy would hear him.

"Do be careful Tommy, I would greatly appreciate it coming back in one piece." Richard joked before washing his hands and grabbing a change of clothes and a towel. He then started for the showers.

Jason angrily grumbled to himself as he parked his bike in the garage, watching Tommy ride off in the opposite direction. Taking a long sigh, he began to make his way back towards the Promenade.

"I still don't understand how you could be so tired at a time like this." Erebus gibed.

"Shut it Ero. You know damn well why i'm tired, and you know damn well that we've had a long day." Jason replied grumpily before stopping where he stood. A quick mask unraveling revealed a look a sheer annoyance upon Jason's face.

"Well...fuck." He said quietly before running up to Richard.

"Geez, I get left behind, pick off some of the stragglers you guys left behind, come back, and the Promenade got trashed. That's just...well it's just beautiful. Who the hell did this? Was there anything else that I missed?" Jason asked as kept his eyes affixed all the destruction that was left.

 

[blaze96]

Richard stopped when Jason ran up to him. Soot and grease were still on his face that he really wanted to wash off, but it could wait for a little while he supposed.

"Yea, we do know actually. Sykes, Omoi Sykes, he's the leader of the army that is using my suits. He's behind all of it, and a few things have changed. For one thing, Leland is under Sykes' control through a device that is controlling his mind. There is also the fact that many former Society members as well Union members loyal to Camille are here to aid us, as is Camille herself. Any moment now we will be called away to go after Leland and rescue him, but Garrus was told something by Camille and is rather indisposed right now. Don't bother asking about what it is, both myself and Alister have tried to get him to even admit he isn't okay and were met with resistance." Richard gave the status update as quickly and neutrally sounding as possible. He hoped he wouldn't be held up too long, he really wanted to try and get a shower before they needed to leave.

Nuke walked into the Promenade, not being careful with any of the items that were still strewn across the floor as he went to find Richard. He finally found him in the lounge after searching through the Promenade and walked over to him and Jason.

"Yo, that Patriot dude and my two bosses say they want both of you out in the front," he told them.

 

[blaze96]

"Is there no rest for the weary?" Richard asked before walking back up the stairs, he just found a sink and washed his face off, the shower would have to wait apparently. He changed into an intact business suit and walked back down the steps.

"Alright let's go, and two bosses? I thought Camille was the boss with Major Crime as her second-in-command." He said as they started to walk.

 

[tsatoma]

"They both boss me around so they're both 'my bosses'," Nuke replied boredly, itching for action as he led the way out of the Promenade.

Camille was talking to Garrus before looking up when Major Crime called her. Garrus followed her as she went over to a table that was set in the middle of the parking with a large map on it.

"Well now we've got some updates. Other major cities in the world are already being attacked. The super hero community over there are dealing with the situation as we speak, but we're not sure if they can do it all. My men have also started to raid Omoi's bunkers, and that brings me to the next thing. I didn't tell you where Leland was because even I wasn't sure; I only knew the general area. But Kate Dagger managed to send out a message that his team that was raiding this one bunker just outside of Red Bear Creek was taken out. That general area is where my son is, so we'll assume he's over in the bunker," Camille told everyone once they were all around the table, pointing out the area and the city.

 

[blaze96]

"Alright, so we head out to that bunker, do a search and rescue, and defeat your son without killing him if encountered. It at least sounds straightforward enough, difficult as hell, but straightforward." Richard looked over the map to see what the area would be like.

 

[tsatoma]

"Indeed. Kate told me that her brother Paul, Sensor, and Undertow were all taken out when they went inside. She'll be outside of the building waiting for you guys," Major Crime told them.

"And once you guys get back we might already be battling this Omoi, it depends on if he decides to strike us just yet right?" Patriot asked getting nods in reply.

 

[CounterAttack]

While the rest of the group discussed their next move, Katie's thoughts drifted to what Richard had mentioned about pollen spores and her possible ability to manipulate them. She moved a short distance away from the others; close enough to hear what was being said, but far away enough to give herself some space to experiment.

Katie closed her eyes and reached out to the gardens with her mind. All the familiar plants were instantly recognised, but she brushed them away, mentally looking for pollen. This was something she hadn't tried before, and didn't know what to expect.

Then something registered: a tiny speck of life, almost as light as the air it was borne on. Katie stretched out to it, almost as if she was reaching for something a short distance away. Once she was sure she had a firm hold on it, the spore suddenly changed and grew, becoming one of the many different flowers Katie knew. The speck of life she saw with her mind's eye vanished, replaced instantly by the flower.

Katie opened her eyes and let her breath out in one go. Sure enough, there was a new flower lying on the grass, as if it had been picked and tossed aside. "Amazing..." she murmured, picking it up and taking a closer look at it. "Seems Richard's theory was right. I can create a full-grown plant from a single spore." She fell silent, contemplating the implications and possible applications of this new development.

 

[blaze96]

"All right Camille, the team will move as soon as it is ready. I myself will get my suit on and see if I can't provide some immediate assistance or at least get a sitrep from the dagger twin. In the meantime Patriot, you need to get every troop and vehicle mobilized you can, as well as get as many citizens evacuated or hidden as you can. We have a small window of preparation here, let's make every second count." Richard immediately excused himself from the table and jogged back into his room. The suit was on in a matter of minutes and he easily walked out and flew off in the direction of the base. He had seen what Katie had done and commented into the comm.

"Good work Katie, now if we can keep you in a safe place or you can get that to work quickly we can have a powerful offense against the suits. If it doesn't take too much energy out of you, we could disable many suits and leave them to have the operator rounded up at our convenience. Since it relies on hydrolics, and if they stop, the operator cannot move the suit himself. He'll be trapped inside until we get him out. Hell, we could even just take their helmets off and let the suit be a kind of full body handcuff."

 

[CounterAttack]

"I'll see if I can find a way to manipulate the spores faster," Katie answered. "But otherwise I'm ready to go. I assume you'll let me know when it's time." Without waiting for an answer, she closed her eyes again and began looking for more spores, careful just to identify them rather than expanding them into actual plants. That would waste her energy, and she would need it for the upcoming battle against the suits.

 

[tsatoma]

"We've already started doing all that Richard while you were inside. Golly jeez, get with the program," Patriot told him with a hearty laugh as he went to go get updated on the status of the evac at the police station.

"Hey mom," Garrus started having settled down after everything, "Thanks for telling me about it. Might not have been the best time but I appreciate it." Camille nodded back with a smile, happy that the pep talk worked.
"It needed to be done. Sorry that it took so long," she replied back.
"Yeah...well. Guess we'll go and deal with my brother," Garrus said with an awkward laugh before going to the group to see if everyone was ready yet.
