The Society of Justice: A Super Hero Roleplay

[blaze96]

Richard had the turrets pop up and turn a couple of the blades to steam. A couple hitting him and embedding in the first layer of armor, the damage was cosmetic but he would need to end this quickly or it would come back to bite him later on. He used the turrets on Undertow where he figured his legs were, turning them to steam only to have it immediately reform.

"Yep, I expected that one. We are supposed to save you, but as long as I don't cut anything off, out, or kill you. I can do whatever is necessary and just let Camille heal you. So don't think I'm afraid to hurt you."

Tommy was thrashing around his head, trying to get the sphere of water off of his head before he drowned. Oh hell no, I am not going to die like some comic book heroes love interest! He kept thrashing around until he got to the wall and then he began ramming his head into the cement, trying to see if he could dislodge the globe that way.

"Not sure if I can even be killed truth be told. Not sure about being hurt either, I mean I know I kinda can but those are very specific circumstances," Undertow said out loud to Richard, continuing his attacks on Richard. He watched silently as Tommy ran around trying to get rid of the sphere.

"Won't work," he told Tommy once he started to bang his head against the cement.

 

[blaze96]

"Ahh yes, the ever popular 'I'm invincible so just lay down and die cliche' a lovely classic I must say." Richard replied as he continued to defend himself as best he could, his mind was running with idea but each one was canceled out because he either couldn't pull it off or it wouldn't do anything. He figured for the moment he would try and whittle him down bit by bit. He let the blades flip out and used them in tandem to block more of the spikes that were doing little but he knew with enough time it would add up.

 

[tsatoma]

"It works," he told Richard, having the water stop attacking him as he collected it all together. He made it form a sharp point before sending it as fast he could straight to Richard, not giving any time to dodge.

 

[blaze96]

Richard was sent flying back into the wall. He slumped against it but panicked as he started to feel what he knew was water fill the suit and get into his helmet. He kept trying to think of ideas and one kept popping back into his head.

'Oh what the hell have I got to lose, I'm going to drown if I don't.'

He opened the panel with the display he had used to allow the team to understand Requiem and write the messages to Katie. He ripped the display out to expose the wires that ran to it before tossing the display itself aside. He held his breath as he hurriedly took the wires and put them on a nearby metal support. When Undertow had broken into the room the water had flowed onto the floor. There was now a thin layer of water that had built up. Richard checked the wires to make sure they still carried currant before shutting them off while he worked. He had them attached in the way he wanted them by the time he started to feel lightheaded and almost couldn't hold his breath anymore. He would have to hope someone else would disconnect him before he died as with one hand he removed the helmet even though he knew the water would stay in place unless this worked.

He rerouted every last bit of power he could int the wires without overloading or shorting out the circuits. Convulsions wracked Richard as the electricity followed the water that had flowed into his suit. Before he could learn anything of his plan's success or failure he had passed out from the electricity.

 

[tsatoma]

Undertow had not time to separate himself from the water that was close to Richard before the electric current hit him. His nervous system glowed as the electricity flowed through the water torso of his until he collapsed in a puddle of water.

The water sphere that was around Tommy's head fell to the floor along with the water that was around Richard.

"Your shitty little friends won't help you now, lil' Jamie. So pipe down and let me kill you. At least then, killing your friends won't be as hard. I just can't wait to see the look on their faces as I peel the skin from it." Takashi said devilishly as he brung his blade down upon Jason. In return, Jason evaded, rolling away from the wall. Weakly, Jason raised to his feet, holding his wound with his left hand. An armblade slowly slid from his other. Takashi raised an eyebrow at the occurance.

"You've got armblades too? This is wonderful! Now your death can be even more painful!" Takashi laughed happily before vanishing into another red cloud.

 

[CounterAttack]

Katie stirred and woke, her vision blurry for a few seconds before it cleared up. The last thing she remembered was sinking into the water Undertow was controlling; it contrasted with the fact that she was now lying on the ground in an uncomfortable heap. She slowly got up, using the wall for support, and tried to look around. All she saw was greens and browns in front of her face. Her armour had sealed itself, essentially creating a cocoon that prevented any water from seeping in. Evidently it had drained itself of any liquid that had gotten in while she was under, or unconscious.

A mental command later and the plants over Katie's eyes were retracted, allowing her to see. She groaned slightly and leaned against the wall, using the brief respite to catch her breath and draw a bit of energy from the plants she wore to sustain herself.

 

[Captainguy42]

Tommy vomited the rest of the water that had gotten into his stomach before looking over and seeing Richard, unconcios in the water. He didn't waste any time diving in an pulling Richard out of the water. He lay Richard down somewhere dry before checking to see if he was ok. There where electrical burns across his body, his pulse was shallow, and it didn't look like he was breathing very well.

 

[Pm0n3y]

The fight between Jason and his older brother continued, Jason sloppily blocked his brother's attacks, but he was still pretty light on his feet. Even though in a quick window of time, Takashi drove a fast boot to Jason's wound, sending him to the ground. He winced loudly as he repositioned himself to all fours, weakly crawling towards his brother. Takashi laughed as if he's heard a funny joke.

"What are gonna do now?! Snivel?! Beg?! Beg for the mercy you're not gonna get?! This his hilarious!" Takashi yelled, holding his sides in laughter as Jason weakly reached his brother's shoe. Then, in a bout of strength, he sprung to his feet, wrapping his arms around Takashi. His laughter quickly stopped.

"Give me a hug." Jason said quietly before his signature black spines sprouted from all parts of his body, and straight through his brother. Takashi's eyes widened in surprise and shock.

"H...how? I...I don't..." Takashi asked as Jason let him go, leaving him to slump to the ground. Jason looked on, falling to a knee, clutching his still seeping wound. A low, weak chuckle came from Jason.

"Did you forget? I'm the prodigal son. And you know what, big bro? I'm still learning. I'm sure your armor would be fully developed once I actually meet you. Then, i'll be ready." Jason said as Takashi's body withered into ash and blew away.

"He was only a illusion?" Erebus asked as Jason propped himself against a wall.

"Y-yeah. You didn't know that?" Jason replied in between breaths as his mask unraveled. He patched into his comm yet again.

"Hello? Anybody?" He asked, looking around.

"Nothing. I guess the comms don't work now. Well, they shouldn't be too far." Jason uttered as he rose to his feet, a long, blunt spike sprouting from him. Using it as a crutch, he began to slowly continue down the hallway.

 

[Captainguy42]

Tommy quickly felt for the release on Richard's chest plate, taking it off and exposing Richard's chest which had even more burns on it. His first task would be getting the water out of the lungs. He began using a modified Heimlich, with only one hand, and with Richard on his back, meanwhile his other hand held Richard's head stable. Come on Rich, you can make it. After a dozen pumps he saw some water bubble in Richard's mouth, the gag reflex activated and he convulsed, coughing some out. Tommy then rolled Richard on his side to let the remaining fluid drain out. When the last drained out Richard fell into another coughing fit, before he began drawing in breath again. He checked his pulse, it was getting stronger. Alright, nothing I can do now but to wait. Tommy thought, as he got ready to wait until Richard woke up.

 

[blaze96]

It was tens of minutes before Richard rolled over in a coughing fit and vomited up the last bits of water. He screamed as he awoke to a pain worse than the metal in him, and he didn't have adrenaline to dull it. The scream was broken by only a few coughs before he rolled over and arched his back as the pain tore through him.

"Son of a *****! Oh god, oh god, this is somehow worse than the shrapnel. Remind me never to do that again. Let all those people who talk about electric shocks in their spine being pleasurable experience this, they will never fucking say it again I promise you." He weakly attempted the joke and lightly chuckled before grimacing and arching his back again.

 

[CounterAttack]

After a minute or so, Katie was able to stand without assistance from the wall or her plants. She looked around, anxious to meet up with the rest of the team. Not seeing anyone, she began murmuring to herself. "Okay, Katie... you're alone in a sewer. The others are nearby, you just have to find them, that's all."

Then a familiar voice echoed from a distance away. "Hello? Anybody?" It sounded like Jason. "Jase, is that you?" she called back, unsure of whether it really was him or just one of Leland's tricks. Nonetheless, she took a few steps down the sewer in the direction of the voice.

 

[Pm0n3y]

Jason took in surroundings, wrinkling his nose as his mask began to cover his face.

"It...it smells like shit down here. Funny it took this long for me to notice that." Jason said with a weak, fake chuckle.

The sewer went quiet momentarily as he looked down, stopping to lean on his makeshift crutch.

"I miss them...Ero. I miss my family. I think about them almost everyday. Sometimes I reget leaving the corps. But I know...I know I left for a good cause...a cause I wish the rest of the corps could see. Besides-" He paused, a familiar, hopeful voice making him smile.

"...I got a new family, with the Society." He finished happily, looking towards the direction of the voice.

"Kate?! I'm here! Where are you?! Where's...anybody?!" He called out, speedily limping towards Katie's voice.

 

[CounterAttack]

"I'm right here, Jase," Katie called back, quickly walking in the direction she guessed him to be in. Jason came into view a second later, looking like he'd taken a stab wound through his chest, and some damage to his leg. Katie hurried to his side, putting his arm over her shoulders to support his weight.

"Oh my God, are you okay?" she asked, her voice rising in pitch a little. The knowledge that she had identified their surroundings as Leland's illusion was gone from her mind at the sight of Jason's injuries. "What happened to you?"

 

[Pm0n3y]

"I'm...i'm fine Katie. I just got into a little scuffle with...the illusion of my older brother (full name's Takashi Jinrou, in case you were wondering). Long story short, he impaled me in the abdomen, and made me realize how weak I am with or without my armor." He said, wincing almost between every other word.

As his makeshift crutch seeped back into his body, he turned, embracing Katie close with his free arm, wrapping it around her waist. He pulled her in close, yearning to feel her warm body up against his.

"I also learned something else during my time in that illusion: I...don't like being alone. Dying alone...is probably one of my greatest fears right now. Well that, and the idea of being ripped to shreds by my little sister is pretty scary right now too, but you get what i'm saying." He said, trying to chuckle, and receiving winces and groans in return.

"Liars! Laughter is NOT the best medicine!" Erebus exclaimed.

 

[Captainguy42]

Tommy replied with a smile and a chuckle, he handed Richard his chest piece and walked over and retrieved Richard's helmet. When he got back he lifted Richard up to his feet.

[color= blue]" We need to get out of this illusion."[/color] Tommy said as he handed Richard'
s helmet back to him. Scanning the area for a possible way out.

 

[blaze96]

Richard stood as best he could, it took him a few seconds to get his bearings and a full minute before he could take a step without feeling like he was going to collapse. He put the helmet back on before speaking.

"Yea, but that's the problem isn't it? We don't actually know what the way out is. My guess is we start checking doors, we defeated everyone we knew was in the bunker and already under his control. We shouldn't fall into enemy more enemy laden traps, at least I hope so."

 

[Captainguy42]

[color= blue] "I've got an idea, I'm going to meditate."[/color] Tommy then sat down on the ground in a lotus position, hands on his knees hand his head leaning back. Just like in New El Dorado, try and feel for Leland's mind. It was much easier then it had been before, of course back then, an entire continent seperated them, now it was just a few concrete walls. This time, instead of sending a message Tommy felt out the area around him by looking at how Leland's mind was manipulating it. He felt it all around him, in the walls, pipes, and hanging in the air, he continued to scan checking all the doors in the complex around him. One inparticular had no signs of manipulation, when Tommy began to focus on it further, he felt a sudden surge of energy, and a shock of pain hit his brain, snapping him out of meditation, and causing him to fall over. He immediatetly picked his self up and began to take a few wobbly steps.

[color= blue]" Richard follow me, I think I found it, but we might not have a lot of time." [/color] He said as he jumped through on of the holes in the ceiling to the upper level. No doubt, that shock was whatever was Omoi's implant senseing me.
