Seeing as Misfit was behind Cat-girl, he jumps up far in the sky before she had the chance to make contact with her second attack. "Fang!" His voice calling for his sword as it is recalled to him before the blast obliterates it. Grasping it back in its paw, and watches as Cat-girl is destroyed. He winces, and his memory of her flashes again to her asking him to a movie. He sighs and his ears flatten against his skull.
He jumps back down to Misfit and says "Nice shot..." then he looks up at the tower and says "I'll be going to grab Frost Knight. Unless you have any other requests of me..."
As the light hit Cat there was but a moment of humanity before she was obliterated. Only enough time to say two words. "Thanks Cha..." Destroyed, the end of her. She died long before, when Omnipotent placed the Black ring upon her finger ultimately causing the second black night. As this happened Omni watched, a sadistic smile across his face. All the pain and suffering he caused, just for his own amusement. What sort of monster is he? What made him who he is? Nobody but him and one other knows, the secret of Omni. He turned slowly and entered a portal of darkness before anyone noticed. He was satisfied, this was the most fun he had had in ages.
He hears as Cat-girl tries to coo out her last words. He again winces in pain in his head.
*Say, you wanna go watch a movie sometime or something?*
*"I didn't even get a chance to know her...."*
He looks up and sees Frost Knight on top of Big Ben. He jumps for the tower and offers him a hand down. The both jump down together and regroup around Misfit.
Frost Knight was still feeling distort at the lost of their leader. He is having flashback of his time spend with Cat-girl but he shake it off that it isn't the right time to moan for her yet. He tries to move but he was in pain. He saw Lycanthrope jumping toward him and he was glad that he was alright. He took up his offer as he holds him and they both regroup to Misfit. When Lycanthrope mention about Dartor whereabouts, he quickly reply
Dartor still stood still as stone as he confronted a figure from his past. The rotting corpse walked forward calmly, it was dressed in a ratty black lab coat not so different from Dartor's and it wore a pair of pointed rimmed glasses not so different from Dartor's as well. But while Dartor was somewhat short and stocky the body of this teen was tall and slim, his jet black hair was closely cropped in a simple bowl cut. A gleaming black ring rested on one finger.
"You." Dartor stared and gasped, "But, you are dead. M... M..."
"Why yes I am." The black lantern cut him off. "I see that even a simple minded fool like you can figure that out." It said, it's voice filled with mocking sarcasm. "But I feel so much better now. You have no idea Dartor. Perhaps..."
"Shut up!" Dartor interrupted. "What do you want?"
"Want? Want? Why I want to do what you did to me. I want to visit justice on a sniveling little thief."
"What are you talking about?" Dartor knew he should attack. Or perhaps rejoin the others. But he found himself rooted to the floor.
"Why you don't remember?" The black lantern smiled a nasty grin. "You, you idiot." With that tendrils of black light sunk into the ground and quickly returned dragging up small metal plates and bits of circuits. The pieces formed into the lantern's hand combining into some kind of pistol. "You are the tiny little thief!"
With that the gun let out a blast of plasma energy directed at Dartor. Finally he reacted and crouched down holding his right arm in front of him. A single strip of metal along his arm suddenly spun around expanding into multiple strips that formed a circular shield. The blast impacted against the shield and was deflected into the sky but not without leaving a smoking scorch mark.
Once again the black tendrils retrieved more components as the lantern spoke. "You stole everything from me!" It was now yelling. "My lab! My happiness! Your sister! Even my inventions!"
Dartor peeked around his shield and could now see that the body of his old rival now sported a large drill as well though it was coercer and covered in spikes. "I see you're even using one of my designs here and now. Don't deny it!" The lantern yelled as it charged forward.
Dartor's shield shatered under the spinning weapon and he was knocked back violently. He was barely able to bring his own drill up to block the next strike point to point as he could feel his old anger returning.
"You were never good at making anything! I was always smarter! Better!" The lantern continued to rant as the pair smashed their weapons together again and again. "I guess that's why you always stole from me! But then you stole my life from me! I won't let you live you thief!"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Dartor yelled back. The pair smashed past each other taking several steps and placing some distance between them as they turned. "You took just as many inventions from me! And I did not kill you." Dartor's voice softened for a moment. "We both know you didn't have to set off that bomb."
"No you moron. It's all your fault. Don't hide from it!" The figure said as he charged again. But rather then meet the attack Dartor rolled to the side. The lantern was met with a small flashing mine. Suddenly the device activated and the earth that the lantern stood on gave way quickly becoming like mud, then quicksand.
The lantern struggled as it sunk but it was to no avail and soon it was trapped to it's waste. "Sorry old chum. But it's over." Dartor sneered as he flipped a trio of explosive D-rangs into the quickly forming pit. The blast was quite large but as the smoke cleared away he was shocked to see that lantern completely unharmed.
"It won't be that easy this time pipsqueak. Ahhaha-haha-haha-hahaha!" It laughed in a mocking tone. It plunged it's drill into the still soft sand and began spinning it in reverse. Sand sprayed everywhere as the drill was pushed up and the lantern went along. "This black ring renders me quite unkillable."
The parts of the lantern's drill were again engulfed in black light and the reconfigured into some kind of slapdash rocket launcher. "You don't have it so easy though." It taunted as an explosive launched forward.
Dartor's HUD quickly inicated the flight path of the shot and he quickly tossed another D-rang knocking it off course. Still, Dartor realized that the thing was right. It couldn't be killed or even really stopped. What could Dartor do? Suddenly he had an idea.
Tossing a pair of smoke grenades Dartor dodged out of the way of another rocket as he grabbed for his belt.
"Cute trick Dartor!" The lantern's voice sounded through the blinding gray smoke. "I expect it also jams scanners and radar! What a perfect thing to hide a thief! But don't think you can get away this time!" A massive blast of air blew away most of the smoke leaving only a few wisps. The lantern had once again had reconfigured it's weapon into some kind of large bore arm cannon that fired super strong bursts of air.
Dartor himself was standing just slightly away looking right at the black lantern. His eyes no longer held the anger that they had previously. "You are not the person I once knew and even... respected." He said with a completely even and cold voice. "You are just an abomination that has no place on this world. Time for you to go."
With that he ran forward. The lantern raised it's cannon and fired a bolt of air. Dartor countered by holding forward his wrist mounted drill, piercing through the blast though he could hear a sickening crunch as machinery was damaged by the bolt.
The lantern raised it's arms in a fighting stance to defend itself but all Dartor did was lightly slap it on the outstretched wrist. The lantern pulled back it's arm and looked at it curiously. Pinned there was Dartor own emergency subspace teleporter that softly chimed as it activated.
"Enjoy your trip." Dartor quipped as the lantern suddenly dissipated in a bolt of light and was gone. Dartor was pretty sure that sending the black lantern half a kilometer under ground might not even kill it, but it would certainly inconvenience it's return.
Compressed propulsion fuel level: 9% remaining
Battery power level: 31%
WARNING - Structural damage detected in drill core
Dartor looked around him noticing that the area was mostly clear. He then looked upward to where the others were. Pointing his heavy drill/rocket up he keyed the rockets to fire launching him into the air. He soared shakily past the floors of Big Ben eventually coming to land where the others were.
carelessly he worked the latches holding the massive drill to his wrist and let the large weapon drop to the floor with an audible crash. He looked around at the others and could see their sad faces. "Sorry, I had some old business to attend to. Cat Girl. Is she..." He let the question hang in the air.
Natu and Miri regroup with the Titans,
"Well thats one army of hellish zombie lantern's down." said Natu.
Miri on the other hand sensed a great sadness in the air, "Sora not the right time, Cat-girl is..."
"No its not the right time to get mopey, we have work to to. You kids can mourn if we make it to tommorrow." said Natu in a stern motherly tone.
"Either way, we are going to need back up." said the Green Lantern.
Natu's ring shot forth a hologram of Kyle Rayner, "Kyle you and the Lantern's need to get to Britan like right now."
"On our way, Rayner out." he said, through the ring
The All Lantern Team, heads to Britan
Story Continued in Blackest Night for the Boosterverse. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/362.253814-Blackest-Night-for-the-Boosterverse-a-Crossover-RP-CLOSED-Private]
Nathan made no hesitation to head back to the tower. He was glad that the beast was gone for now...but he was still oh so very sad inside. He held it away from the sight of the others as best he could, but managed to let a tear slip away from his eyes.
He arrived at the tower and went inside, finding the way into his room and collapsing right there on his bed with a grunt. He curled up and layed his head on his pillow and laid there still until he finally went to sleep.
Misfit, talked about something with her grandpa, before leaving...
=A shortwhile ago=
"Misfit, I want you to come home to Gotham" said Batman quietly, beyond even Kitu and Gallant's ability to pick up.
"Why, the Titans need me" she said
"I'm reforming the Outsiders...again" he said.
"No, but I think I know somebody that will do just fine." said Misfit
=Back in the Present=
"Lets see, two prioities, we have two new members joining and a temp. Also preparations must be made in THE HALL OF TITANS" she said over the loud speakers before bouncing far below the tower.
Does this mean that sparten1077 and Xthecommander had left? What about FALD since I thought Cat-girl would have been resurrected from the White Lantern light?
Frost Knight is in the gym which he is repeatedly sticking his right arm out as if something is suppose to shoot out from it. Although it was only a short while ago that Blackest Night had happen he felt his power had been alter in some way when he temporary became a white lantern. It as if the light had unlocked a hidden ability within him. He is not even sure if he does it or it could be a false feeling.
Talking to himself "Come on! I know the white light had done something to me. I know I can shoot out ice bean for sure!"
He then heard Misfit announcement and head toward to the hall of Titans. As he walk toward there he signed as he began to lament on the past event.
With the team members being change lately, I wonder if I live long enough to reach adulthood or end up being dead before then. Well there no point worrying about death, all that matter is embracing life to it fullest, I will live on for the others sake. I certainly hope that these new members will last long although I impress that Lycanthrope is still hanging on after what we had been through. Well he won't be the rookie any longer
On the other side of the gym, Gallant was training with a punching bag. Even at max weight a full punch from him would knock it off of its spot and through several walls in the mood he was in. So instead he focused on controlling his strength, trying to punch it as lightly as possible while still swinging it from the effort.
As he did this he mulled over the events of the Black Lantern outbreak. It was all a bit too silly for him, and it had done nothing to help him find his father. He wanted to ask the others for help once more, but it was so soon after the fight they were all too exhausted from what he could tell. Thus, he kept the information to himself.
Instead he focused on the team as a whole. The team was in disarray after the event, and it wasn't getting better quickly. All he could do was wait and watch for something that required his rather limited skillset to solve, and hope the others could fix everything.
Mizu stood in a corner as Misfit talked, writing into a small black book. "Seen as Cat..." Even Mizu seemed to be somewhat upset, he expected her to survive. Cat had always survived before. "She is irreplaceable, she was one of the best Titans there have been. But you need every bit of help you can get, the Black Lanterns have destroyed many things and given the state of the country even before they came... You need someone, someone strong. I, as one of the higher ranking members of the Titans, will decide the temp. If all goes well, they will remain. I have just the right person in mind to replace her..." Mizu sighed. "Never thought someone would replace Cat... Not in my time."
The Lycanthrope, fast asleep after his hard work, begins to dream for a little while.
*He is inside the Cathedral in Venice. Sitting on the bench looking up at the magnificent stain glass window depicting the great scenes of the Bible. Nathan looks down and sees the old priest that he said those many days ago behind the podium. The Priest looks upon him and smiles "Welcome young one." Nathan smiles back "Good to be back...but I'm not really back am I?" knowing that he's dreaming. The Priest walks from behind the podium and down the aisle to where Nathan was sitting "True, but still. Lets talk while we have the time." sitting down beside Nathan.
Nathan looks at his hands and says "Forgive me father, for I have wanted to kill..." He then flashing back through all the events leading from his arrival at the Tower. His hands now covered in blood, and he begins to cry. The Priest puts his arms around him and holds him close "Young one, you have still so much to learn. You have done nothing wrong." Drawing himself away and then holding his hand and drawing it eye level with his. "You still have a wonderful life ahead of you, and I think that the thing that you want to hold dear is still out there. Waiting for you." The Priest stands up and walks back into the aisle and up back behind the podium. "It is time for you to awake now. Join your commerades for the trails ahead." Nathan standing up from the bench and walking into the center aisle and walks out the big Church double doors...*
He opens his eyes and climbs out of bed. He yawns and heads out his room. Another announcement is made for preperations in the Hall of Titans. He thinks and decides to try and find this room.
I have been given the OK by Booster to make my opening post.
Jake Wiles sat upon the roof of a church along the shore directly opposite of Titan's island. He eyed the tower with utmost anxiety, his tail swishing restlessly behind him, the tough scaled raking against the shingles of the roof. Jake was, in every sense of the word, a dragon. An elongated skull with horns protruding from the crown. Black, hexagonal scales covered his entire body. A ragged shirt and pants covered his body, holes cut into the back of the shirt and pants to allow his tail and leathery wings to move without trouble.
" Catgirl told me... If I ever needed a home, All I would have to do is go to the tower and ask..." Jake thought to himself as he sat under the bright sunlight. Jake finally stood on his clawed feet and fanned out his black wings. He kicked off of the roof and began to flap his wings, displacing enough air to keep him aloft. Jake soared into the sky above the sea that ran between the Island and the mainland.
Jake landed about twenty yards from the front door of the Tower. However, the moment he set down, turrets popped out of the ground. "Intruder Alert!!! Initiating Intruder Repulsion system!" An electronic voice blared.
"You have got to be kidding me!!! Crap crap crap!!!" Jake cried as he kicked off and shot out of the way of the hail of bullets that pelted the ground where he stood mere seconds ago. Jake beat his wings as fast and hard as he could to keep ahead to the streams of bullets whizzing by him.
"HEY!!! WOULD SOMEONE IN THERE SHUT OFF THE DAMN TURRETS!?" Jake Screamed in the Tower's direction, hoping that someone, anyone, would shut off the turrets and prevent Jake from dying.
Ears pearking in the direction of a yell. He runs out to a window and sees what appeared to be...
Nathan: "A dragon?" Looking out the window in awe, then seeing that the turrets are shooting at him. "Hmm..."
Heading down to the lobby and walking to what appeared to be a the security thing, but he didnt want to fiddle with it unless he had to. He walks outside and stood in the door way and called out to the Dragon. "Oi! Who are you?" *In his mind: besides one of the most interesting thing I've seen in a while.*
" Aha! Finally some help!" Jake thought as he desperately tried to stay ahead of the turrets.
"I'M JAKE WILES!!! I'M SPECIAL LIKE YOU GUYS!!! CATGIRL TOLD ME I WOULD BE WELCOME HERE!!!" Jake Shouted as he frantically beat his wings to avoid being filled with lead. "NOW WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT OFF THE DAMN TURRETS!? I CAN'T KEEP THIS UP FOREVER!" Jake cried to the new person in front of the tower.
Nathan observes the movement of the dragon as it dodges the rounds of the turrets. He then heads back inside and turns off the turrets. He then heads outside and stands infront of the door. "They're off, but I don't think I can really let you in." Nathan says to the dragon. He leans on a door and watches as the dragon finally lands to catch its breath. "You understand that since I'm not the one you speak off."
Unknown draconic Life approaching, engaging defensive turrets. said the computer through Charlie's ear piece as she worked through the under belly of the HALL OF TITANS.
"Hold fire, he's a friendly." said Misfit realizing that a dragonic humaniod appeared at the tower, and it might not go so well.
Before leaving she hit a button and a trap door opened above. as her and a 10 foot bronze statue of Cat-Girl rose from the floor below.
She had the computer tell her where the new arrival was and Bounced over.
"Yo Lycan, this is Draycos, he's one of those two people I mentioned." she said.
As Frost Knight walk he heard sound coming from outside. As he looks what appears to be a black dragon.
He shouted "What the?! A dragon?!!"
He quickly runs down the stairs to get outside. He knew that one of these days he would encounter a dragon and may have to fight it like those fairytale of a knight fighting a dragon.
As he got outside with his ice armour already form he saw that the dragon isn't exactly attacking them. Suddenly Misfit appears with her back toward him and explains that Draycos is the new member. He quickly walks toward them as his mind drift toward Cat-girl.
Why do I get a feeling that she invited him over? What is it with Cat-girl and animal hybrid people? Well it's not like I'm discriminate them but still first its Lycanthrope and now Draycos. Too bad I will never know what her answer would be.
He stood aside to Misfit and he greets the newcomer.
He said "Hi what your real name? I'm Zack by the way also know as Frost Knight. Do you by any chance breathe fire?"
Frost Knight finally understand about how initially Lycanthrope may cause friction toward Cat-girl like dog well wolf verse cat as he feel a bit intimidated toward Draycos.
Two more people appeared outside. An icy looking guy and a girl wearing a hodgepodge of mismatched clothes.
Jake landed softly on the ground and folded his wings in.
"Hah hah hah I'm Jake Wiles. A.k.a. Draycos. hah hah hah Catgirl told me to come here if i needed a home." Breathed Jake as he tried to catch his breath, bending over and catching his breath. His ragged shirt hung loosely off of his body. "And yes, i can do something to that degree." addressing Frost Knight's question about firebreathing.
Nathan walks over to Jake "Nice to meet you Jake, my name is Nathan. You could say I'm like you, but..." looking over his apperence "I have more control on how I look. I'm a werewolf, but to be specific, a Lycanthrope." Holding out his hand to see of the Dracokin would shake it. "I'm one of the newbies, but I hope we can get along."
