[Somalian Pirate States]

OOC: how are you talking to me... We are about to drive off?

P.S. There was never any real animosity

OOC: how are you talking to me... We are about to drive off?

P.S. There was never any real animosity

OOC: I said phone a lot in the post, so that you would know he was calling you.
You can go to his place though, it's fine.

[Katyuscha]

Simon received the list and quickly skimmed over it. One name caught his eyes in particular.

"Ta-boo." He said somewhat surprised.

Simon once went to Ta-boo for his birthday once. It was mainly just him and a few other guys from the station, but he enjoyed it. It was a,shame to find out that such a nice place was filled with so much corruption.

"Alright chaps, first stop is a little place called Ta-boo."

"Yes sir" said a group of 25 copies who all hopped into a SWAT truck and head off to the restaurant."

1 hour later
The truck arrived just outside of the restaurant and noticed something strange. There were already policemen surrounding the building and when they saw Simon pull up, the leading officer approached.

"What are you guys doing here?" He questioned in confusion as Simon hopped out of the drivers seat. "Look, we've already got the situation under control, tell your boys they can... wait, you're not from Palm Beach."

Suddenly, Simon grabbed the officer, converting him into a copy. The other copies quickly jumped out of the truck and pounced on the remaining officers, converting them as well. After all the officers were now under control, they stormed the building and gathered all of the employees. The owner of the restaurant was brought before Simon on his knees.

"What are you doing!" Shouted the owner as he was dragged on his knees. "This is a civil rights violation. You can't do this to me! It's against the law!"

Simon chuckled.

"Who do you work for?" He questioned.

The man was silent. Simon disappointed in the man motioned to a guard and then kneeled down before the man.

"I'll ask you again. Who do you work for?"

After the man refused to answer a gain, the guard wipped out his tazer, placed it against the back of the mans head and flipped it on. The man squirmed and twitched as the electricity surged through his body. The copy pulled the tazer away and Simon grabbed the man by his hair and pulled him back up onto his knees.

"I'm going to ask you... one more time. Who are you working for?" Asked Simon annoyed.

Simon leaned foward and the man whispered to him. After hearing what the man had to say, Simon stood up and said something to another copy. He then pulled out his gun and shot the man in the head.

"Finish off the others and burn the place to the ground." Simon left the restaurant and got into the truck along with a number of copies.

"Everything burns." He said and drove off.

"Hmmmm.... yet another imbalance. Better go right it then." With that, Jane blacked to Ta-Boo. The police officers saw her, but she awaited their next move.

"Hey you!" Shouted a copy as he began to approach a woman who it seemed had appeared out of nowhere. "You need to get inside. A curfew is in effect.

[Erryeah]

"Schemers...all they are is schemers and I bet this Mr. Paulos is the grand schemer of them all. Fuck schemers, there are no villains here." Thought the deepest dark portion of Tabitha's mind.

"Why thank you for letting me in you little stud muffin." said Tabitha in Hannah's sultry body mannerisms while sliding a dainty finger over the guards shoulders..."perhaps I can show you just how nice I can be sometime. Eh huh." Then she turned towards the house with a wry smile and continued forth to what looked like the owner of the abode. "Howdy, I bet your this here Mr. Paulos I keep hearing these wild strangers talk about around here. Nice to meet you kindly. I'm Hannah Murphy. You a super? Perhaps you can show me a few things, they said I could find people around here like me."

[CoolLand]

Perhaps you can show me a few things, they said I could find people around here like me."

"How did you get in here? Never mind, sure, I suppose I could.", said George, as he thought to himself, Damn hick, oh howdy to you, mister! Howdy! I am just a good ol' country hick from the real meerika!, though he kept these thoughts hidden very well...

"If you don't mind me asking, what is your power?", asked George

[Mighty Asgard]

George hated being called Georgie, he fired a final warning shot, and said, "Oh, right, right. How did you know that my vault was broken into? How do you know about the vault? And who were you even talking to on the lawn?", asked George

Josh laughed at him, amazed at the slowness of his mind. "I just basically admitted that I was the one who broke into your vault, Georgie, and breaking into it would require knowing that it exists. You really aren't all that bright, are you? As for the talking, I met a woman out here who was jumping around, so I asked her what she was doing, and she said that she was jumping around."

He had to stop himself from bursting into laughter when George pulled out a phone and called someone, apologizing for being a rich douche to them from the sound of things. It seemed that he had some signs of ADHD, not even being able to focus on threatening someone with a gun without being distracted by frivolous things. Meanwhile a police car had driven up to the house and stopped nearby, two cops getting out to investigate the cause for the alarm.

"I'm just going to go turn myself in," he said to George, "I've grown tired of this boring old place. Have a good one, Georgie." And then he started walking in the direction of the cops, fully intending to let them arrest him.

[Reselia]

"Hmmmm.... yet another imbalance. Better go right it then." With that, Jane blacked to Ta-Boo. The police officers saw her, but she awaited their next move.

"Hey you!" Shouted a copy as he began to approach a woman who it seemed had appeared out of nowhere. "You need to get inside. A curfew is in effect.

"I'm afraid not, monsieur. I'm acting on orders." With that Jane sent hime flying several blocks away, but reinforcements had heard the policeman. Evading the riot police, she made her way to the building (which contained several people), and sent it to a dimension where time stopped. For most people. Now that was dealt with, It seemed that Josh and Georgie were busy battling it out, verbally for now... it might progress. Josh evidently wanted to hand himself over to the police, but that would be disruptive, but not fatal, to the course of the Universe. It wanted - nay, needed - a confrontation between the two. Jane knew the outcome that needed to happen, although whether it actually happened was... unknown. Quickly, she arrived between the police, Josh and George, and dealt with the police quickly but loudly. She expected that the timeless dimension would get quite full soon.
Talking to George and Josh, she said: "Hello again. However, we have a minor problem. Neither of you can leave this building (emphasis that if it wasn't here, you would be free to go) alive... I'm watching."

[Mighty Asgard]

Josh just looked at Jane and laughed, finding her threats to be adorable. "Well then, cannot leave alive you say? Ignoring for a moment the fact that threats are only effective when you can back them up, why not? Does it matter where I am when I am me no matter where I am?"

[CoolLand]

George was a bit humored by the threat made by Jane. Soon, he teleported 1,000,000,000 alternate versions of himself to the lawn, and they all said...

"You really are threatening me? How hilarious, why don't you stop your jokes and leave.", as George and the copies laughed...

"You two are really charming, aren't you... Nevertheless, I will not be fighting. Rather you yourselves will." Jane curled her lip. "Even as the Universe states,the imbalance wrought by superpowers is unbearable, unsustainable. The Universe shall soon rip itself in half if nowt is done to halt the advance of the perilous years ahead... And you yourselves shall battle over the fate of the Universe, and so on... If you insist in a fight, you may have it. Fighting the Universe tends not to bode well for the challenger. No matter what happens - neither can live while this house stands. I am but the mouthpiece of the higher Power, the Unmentionable One. Argue if you wish, as this world dies."

"If you don't mind me asking, what is your power?", asked George

"I can transfer electrical energy from here to yonder." Tabitha said knowing full well that she was not telling the whole truth but the truth nonetheless. Then she began to absorb the multitude of energies being used by the surrounding supers. The gravity one gave her the choice of temporarily using portals to other dimensions, if need be, then the other seemed to be exerting energy that made copies of himself, which would be very interesting to use, and this George guy supposedly had the power to duplicate events in rapid succession, which compounded with the first two would just be...Tempting, tempting indeed. "Should I use my full potential or shall I bide my time for now?" Tabitha wondered while feeling tugs in many devious directions."No, not yet. Not yet, would I be able to achieve my goal fully. I must bide my time."

[Mighty Asgard]

"You two are really charming, aren't you... Nevertheless, I will not be fighting. Rather you yourselves will." Jane curled her lip. "Even as the Universe states,the imbalance wrought by superpowers is unbearable, unsustainable.

I am but the mouthpiece of the higher Power, the Unmentionable One. Argue if you wish, as this world dies."

"There is one simple fundamental fact about me that you seem to not be grasping," Josh said tiredly, "I do not like to be told what to do, especially not by some stupid bitch who thinks the universe is talking to her." Suddenly he was next to George, grabbing the gun from his hand before returning to the lawn. "Heh, this should really fuck up your plan of making us fight," he said, pointing the gun at his head. A loud bang echoed across the estate, a shower of blood and brainy bits shooting out through the side of Josh's head as he pulled the trigger.

His dead body unceremoniously collapsed on the ground, a perfectly ordinary corpse, except for the hole in its head.

"Hmmmm, no matter. He has copies, yet the plan overall is unaffected. Now, all is fine, and one of you has 'died'. All we need now is for the house to collapse, and I can deal with that. Oh, and by the way George, I'm sorry to inconvenience you by destroying your house. I'm sure you have others though... no? Nevertheless, I believe you will want to track down something... you realise Josh has been busy, with a variety of stuff? He's been fighting with and against the Cartels. Although, you may wish to deal with a certain Simon. The one you met at the beach, the Policeman. Goodbye, George. Say hello to Veronica for me.

[Planeta de los Muertos]

"J-Jane?!"

Veronica stepped out into the lawn where a confrontation unfolded between George, Josh, and Jane. The latter 2 spouted something poetic that the blonde could not understand clearly. Things heated up as soon as Josh traveled at speeds faster than the average eye in order to snatch George's pistol right out of his now empty hands; in response, the playboy summoned what seemed to be trans-dimensional versions of himself right onto the pasture. She couldn't even begin to decipher the true nature of their powers as they seemed to be on a different plateau of power-dom, for lack of better terminology. What shocked her the most was Josh's extremely rash decision: the man shattered his own head with one pull of that trigger. It was cringe-worthy. Veronica's eyes began to water as she put both her hands to her mouth.

One man of a human copier decided to kill himself in front of everyone due to a simple reaction that made him tick into a suicidal manner. Tabitha took a note of this for perhaps future reference if ever needed. "That seems to be the copy machines weakness." Then there was the other matter of the two supers near her the one that multiplied himself as well as the one that could lay temporary black holes. She had absorbed three and what looked to be another fourth port hole formed by this woman everyone was calling Jane in such a short time span that she was becoming troublesome. It was time to deal with her before things became much worse than it already was. Her own self would become her downfall.

Tabitha knew much about astronomy so to come up with this plan on a whim was quite easy. Tabitha would release all of the energy she had absorbed from the teleporting woman at once causing four plus the one she seemed to be casting now to rip Jane's body apart in five separate directions. To make this all go as planned Tabitha would also let loose a bit of the energy she captured from the George guy to multiply her own-self by 25 times whilst releasing the energy from the teleporter girl. Thus resulting in 104 total black holes poised to rip Jane to insignificant shreds.

Not noting Tabitha, Jane had already left the zone. Fortunately, the repeated travel by black hole didn't seem to be wearing her down. The Cube was helpful then. She decided to retire to a small little dimension which had merely a single mansion. No one lived there - she suspected it had formerly been occupied by a now-dead superhero. "Ahhhh...." she sighed. Now she could take a nice break - she wasn't needed in the Universe for a while. Perhaps she could experiment with her powers.....

Veronica's eyes began to water as she put both her hands to her mouth.

"Don't worry, Veronica, he has copies, many of them, tens, hundreds, maybe thousands, or infinite numbers of copies. He was just annoyed, and sick of this bitch! As I am, but I cannot die, nor will I.", said George

[CoolLand]

"Listen, you over-confident bitch. I can rip you from the fabric of time, from the fabric of space, instantly. If you touch my home, any of them, I shall do that, and then afterwards, I shall crush your little cube. Fuck your plan, and fuck you. Simon, he is of no worries to me, I have done nothing illegal. You on the other hand, have, you made what is called a terroristic threat, you can be arrested for 15 years in the lovely state of Florida for that. I don't give a flying shit about your "plan", ok? Now, leave my home, or I shall rip the very existence of you out of time, out of space, and out of existence. Understand?", said George, as anger was brewing within him, he would actually do this, if this Jane, did not stop...

[CoolLand]

"How did you get in here? Never mind, sure, I suppose I could.", said George, as he thought to himself, Damn hick, oh howdy to you, mister! Howdy! I am just a good ol' country hick from the real meerika!, though he kept these thoughts hidden very well...

"If you don't mind me asking, what is your power?", asked George

I must bide my time."

"Well, I never said you could take my power. I can manipulate space and time, yet I am the guardian of space, and time. I protect it's existence, and if anyone threatens it's existence, I destroy theirs.", said George, as he stopped her transfer of his powers

"Now, that is an interesting power. Also, I have a question, where are you from?", asked George

[Mighty Asgard]

"It seems like there are one too many guardians of the universe these days," Josh said, getting up from the ground and dusting himself off. Blood still pumped out through the hole in the side of his head, but he didn't seem to care. "Back in the day that was a position of great importance, and now they seem to let any old idiot be one," he said, grinning at George.


Meanwhile, in downtown Miami, a large group of cartel thugs were heading toward the home of the chief of police. They paid him good money to make sure that the cops never bothered them, and yet several of their businesses had been raided that very night, in what could only be a large and coordinated attempt to take them down. Obviously they couldn't let that stand, and they were going to teach the bastard a lesson in blood. You don't mess with the cartels.

But before they could reach his apartment someone got in their way, a large man wearing an orange jumpsuit. They barely had time to react before he attacked them, ripping them limb from limb, laughing all the while.

Josh was observing from above, quite happy with the results of his initiative to release some proper lunatics in the city. And empowering them had been an even better idea, as evidenced by the rather one-sided battle below. Now dozens of insane superhumans were running amok in the city, and with Simon having taken control of the police force and leading them all to attack the cartels there had been no organized attempts to stop them yet. Bit by bit, the streets of Miami were ascending into utter chaos. And with the mayor in his pocket it would probably be at least another week before the national guard would be deployed to the city and a state of emergency declared.

[Planeta de los Muertos]

Veronica jumped back when she witnessed Josh rise from death. The fresh wound was beginning to close up as if it were no big deal to the man. Her pupils shrank.

"What are you?" she said, deftly taking cover behind George.

OOC: remember, the National Guard is already being deployed to the entire Miami-Dade County. A state of emergency was already declared, remember those news posts?

[CoolLand]

Veronica jumped back when she witnessed Josh rise from death. The fresh wound was beginning to close up as if it were no big deal to the man. Her pupils shrank.

"What are you?" she said, deftly taking cover behind George.

"Yes, bloody hell mate, who the hell are you?", said George, as he protected Veronica, behind him...

[Mighty Asgard]

"What are you?" she said, deftly taking cover behind George.

Josh looked at them, smiling sweetly at George's futile gesture of valor. "I don't think you have a word for what I am," he answered, "but an apt comparison for what this body is would be a puppet. It can't die because it didn't really live to begin with, nothing but a shell of flesh and bone."


Meanwhile another of him had discovered that the national guard had in fact already deployed to the city, and he admonished himself for not having known that until then. The mayor had failed, so one would be sent to kill him, while others worked to repair the damaging presence of the guard. They could not be allowed to get in the way of the plan. So far the major cartel presence on the streets had prevented any large scale evacuation, so it had not progressed to the point where the situation was beyond repair, but if they were allowed to operate unchecked they may well ruin everything. One of him went to visit the three most influential cartel leaders, to tell them that they had to deploy men to fight against the national guard.

Soon, a man entered the secret, cartel headquarters, and Diaz was shocked by the man's breaking in...

"Eh! Gringo! What, you loco? Who you be! Who you are? Why you in here, huh, puta!", asked Diaz, as he pointed an AK-47 at Josh's copy...
