The Society of Justice: A Super Hero Roleplay

[CounterAttack]

Katie turned to Tommy and turned her communicator off so the others wouldn't hear. "It seemed like the best time, Tommy," she answered, choosing her words carefully. "I'd been thinking about it for a while, and... well, put simply, Jason and I just kinda drifted apart. It was more me than him, though. I think... I think we basically threw ourselves into the relationship. It might be better for both if us if we weren't together. You get what I mean, right?"

Alister finally caught up to the others on his bike, on the street below. God, it's just not right without Excalibur. I've had it so long now it feels like I'm missing an arm. I never did thank Tommy for the sword; should do that.

He turned on his communicator and announced "Sorry that I was lagging behind; here now. Anywhere I'm needed?"

 

[Captainguy42]

Tommy check his communicator to confirm it had been off the whole time.

[color= blue] " I guess that makes some sense. But haven't you ever heard the story about the Varsity quarterback who gets dumped before the big game, and they loose because he's all depressed? I mean, can you see how dumping a guy, hours before he fights an army of super suits, can be hazardous?"[/color]

He finished speaking just as Alister pulled up. [color= blue] " Richard and Garrus are with Jason up on the roof, we're just waiting around for something to happen." [/color]

 

[CounterAttack]

"Yeah, I know... but it was the right thing to do. For me, I mean," Katie added. "I realise this hurts Jason, but do you think he can get over it? Maybe you were right... maybe I should've held off until we'd dealt with the army of suits." Speculation didn't help Katie. What's done was done, and hopefully Jason could contain his anger until the battle with the suits had been and gone.

Jason took another long pause as Richard questioned him, swiveling his head in Garrus' direction once he reached the roof. He sighed before rising to his feet.

"Well...y'know...the whole issue with the upcoming war and stuff, along with the whole "parents wanting you dead" dilemma. Sometimes it's hard to wrap my mind around these things at times, and in return, I get a little angry. Can't wait until this war ends." He said to Richard, walking towards Garrus.

"Also, we should get out of here. We're right across the street from the Main Key Corps Headquarters, and the sudden influx of superheroes in one spot would cause some suspicion from them." He stated shortly.

 

[blaze96]

"You and me both. Alright, let's get back." Richard said before taking off to fly back to the promenade.

 

[tsatoma]

"Okay then let's get the hell back," Garrus said, clapping his hands once as he walked back downstairs. As he was halfway downstairs he heard some loud explosions coming from outside, making him quickly jump down the rest of the stairs before he bolted out.

He looked back over to where the Promenade was and saw some flashing of lights and explosions.
"Uhh....I think we should head back like stat," he told everyone.

 

[CounterAttack]

"What the -?" Katie murmured quietly, turning to the source of the explosions. Oh, damn. Could Omoi have launched his first attack, knowing that we were distracted by Jason? She immediately crossed to her bike, got on and started it up. "Garrus, let's get going..." she said, trailing off to remind him that he was riding with her.

 

[tsatoma]

"Wha-? Oh shit right," Garrus responded, in slight shock at what he was seeing. He got back on the bike, almost falling off as she zoomed off.

"Okay guys this is it! We go in and we kick ass," he told everyone.

 

[blaze96]

"Oh shit, Lillian's still at the Promenade." Richard put every bit of thrust he could getting back almost immediately. The Promenade was embroiled in a massive fight between variations of his suits and heroes. His quick arrival bought him a few seconds as he got inside the Promenade and found Lillian hiding in a room.

"Come on, we need to get you somewhere safe Lil." She quickly hurried over and he hurriedly got her out of the promenade and to an entrance to the subway.

"Follow the tracks and maps until you can get out of the city. Stay as far away from the city center and any government building as you can." She nodded and quickly hurried down. Richard had taken fire as he had moved her and took off as a few suits gave chase. He was quickly embroiled in a dog fight with them.

 

[Pm0n3y]

"It's about damn time." Jason said sternly, beginning to leap off the roof before stopping at the ledge. He facepalmed, quickly realizing his plight.

"Dammit, why did I hafta run? Why couldn't I just have taken my bike or something?" He said, cursing under his breath. Without another word, he raced across the roofs back towards the Promenade, relying on nothing but agility and speed to reach his destination.

 

[tsatoma]

Garrus watched as Richard flew off, kinda wishing he would be able to help Lillian himself. He shook the idea off as they neared the Promenade and saw the battle raging. Those supers that could fly were in aerial battles with Omoi's men, and those who couldn't were on the ground helping out as much as they could.

"Katie, keep the bike as steady as you can," Garrus told her as he lifted his hand, aiming it at an armored foe for a few seconds before closing it. That sent a powerful, yet precise shock wave right to the foe, causing immense damage and having him fall from the sky.

 

[CounterAttack]

"All right, I'll try," Katie answered as she drove for the last minute or so. When they reached the Promenade, she slowed the bike to a halt and quickly jumped off. Almost immediately, she remembered that the - most likely - only way she could combat the suits was to hit them from the inside with pollen spores.

Katie ran to her discarded plant armour, and quickly pulled on a couple of pieces of it. Weaving the rest from memory, she took in the scene. A couple of the suits were a little distant from the aerial combat, attempting to attack with ranged weapons. She mentally reached out to one of them, trying to sense any spores that might be trapped in the suit. Thankfully, she could sense a few under the armour.

Though she didn't know where the central workings of the suit were, Katie began to grow one spore into a full-blown plant, hoping the occupant of the suit wouldn't know what she was doing until it was too late.

 

[blaze96]

Richard tried to shake them for a bit before rolling over mid air and taking one suit out with a plasma beam from the turrets that cut through the armor and killed the operator. The other two suits immediately responded by firing missiles which he dodged by weaving in between the buildings. opened fire on another suit but had to keep the beam firing a bit longer than last time on the same spot, the third falling easily. He flew back to the Promenade getting embroiled in the combat. Suits were firing on heroes and he was able to cut the hydrolic lines of a couple with his blades.

"Alright, any plan in particular or fight until they are all dead Garrus?"

 

[tsatoma]

"I think we should just fight until they're all down," Garrus responded, taking cover behind one of the fallen obelisks that were in front of the Promenade. He attacked and took down a number of the enemies, diving for other cover as five of them shot lasers at him.


An enemy was flying towards Richard from behind at high speed, getting ready to strike. Patriot noticed this and exclaimed that he would save Richard, flying to catch up. He was getting close, only another five feet. Or at least it would have been five more feet had the enemy's head not been blown off from a laser.

Patriot turned to see Camille lowering her hand, shaking his head with annoyance. "That was my guy! I wanted to save Richard!" he told her with a pout.
"And I care how? I saw an enemy. I shot them. Besides I doubt Masterson needs any help," Camille replied, rolling her eyes at Patriot before firing a laser past his ear to hit an enemy right in the chest.

 

[blaze96]

Richard ignored the bickering pair and kept his head purely in the fight, he took down a couple more before he got in close to take one out with his blades as he flew by and heard him speak.

"Gerard, encountering more resistance than expected, prepare to deploy more suits." The man never got a chance to hear Gerard's reply as Richard shoved the blade through the weak joint at the neck where helmet met chest and back plates. He had an idea however after hearing the man.

"Garrus, see if you can't find requiem and trace the signal the men in the suits are communicating with. We'll need to fight until we find a break, but once we do we may be able to find their base of operations." he spoke calmly into the comm.

 

[CounterAttack]

The plant inside the man's armour had grown into maturity, and Katie could sense it much better now. She reached out to it physically and mentally, and the plant responded, growing tiny vines that snaked throughout the armour. The suit began shaking slightly before its jets failed, and the armour came crashing to the ground.

Katie immediately began an attack on the other guy in the same manner, searching for spores under the armour.

 

[Pm0n3y]

Jason raced towards the Promenade, inching ever so closer with each speedy step. As he neared, a airborne enemy swooped in close, engaging Jason by sending a barrage of bullets in his direction. Using evasive manuvers, Jason easily dodged the fire before stopping at the last roof's ledge. Ahead of him was the Promenade, but all he could see was the battle the raged on below him. His attention was immediately turned back towards the enemy, letting some of the bullets bounce off of his armor. Quickly, he leaped through the air, grabbing onto the solider, digging into the metal with his sharp claws. Before he could be thrown off, he freed one hand, using it to grow and drive a spike straight through the solider's slightly exposed neck joint. As the dying man gurgled and bled, Jason released his other hand, quickly grabbing onto the spike that stuck out of the opposite end of the man's neck, swiftly twisting until he heard bones snapping. With the man dead, Jason broke off the spike, leaving it embedded. He jumped, landing on the building from which he jumped from.

"That...was easier than I thought." He said with accomplishment as he watched the guy fall and crash into a building before swan diving off the roof, landing within the Promenade grounds as war happened all around him.

 

[tsatoma]

"Gotcha Richard," Garrus replied, jumping over some of the debris as he looked around for his adopted brother.

He found him helping out Major Crime take out some enemies from the ground. He ran over, getting a gun to the face from Requiem before he lowered it.
"Hey Rich wants you to try and hack into the enemy's systems to figure out where they are," Garrus explained getting a few beeps as a reply, "Still don't know what you said."
"Here lemme help ya' kid," Major Crime said as he punched through a fallen enemy, tossing him towards Requiem and Garrus.

Requiem dragged the dead enemy over to the APC, connecting himself in and getting to work.

 

[blaze96]

Richard continued to engage in dogfights, luckily the pilots had not had as much training as him, so he defeated most of them handily. As he continued to fight, there was one who started to chase him and stood out. No matter what maneuvers he did, the other would stay on his tail and continuously fire into him. He had flown to the outskirts of Horizon at this point, weaving through buildings to keep his opponent from getting off a shot. His turrets would aim and fire but with the other constantly maneuvering as well he wasn't able to keep the laser on him long enough to do any decent damage.

Richard did a tight barrel roll immediately changing direction and began heading back towards the Promenade. He got on his comm as the man on his tail staid with him and kept the fire up.

"I'm coming in hot, and I can't shake him or kill him. I need someone with flight to help me here!"
