Infinite Justice: Beyond (Marvel,DC,DBZ X/Over, IC, Open)

Claudia grunted as she recovered from the blast. She got up, cracking her knuckles. She frowned. He is strong. Her first priority should be to secure Tomia. Fighting got her hurt the last time. She was going to make sure she didn't get hurt again. She had been entrusted the girl by Hiroshi after all. She quickly leaped forward again, sliding in to where she once was.

Once again between the giant and Tomia, she sent a gout of blue hot flame right into the monsters face with an outstretched palm. She then leaped back, Tomia in her arms as she frowned, her eyes searching for a place to hide the little girl. For now she kept her body wrapped around the child, ready to use her own body to defend Tomia if need be. She could heal herself. Tomia could not.

Hiroshi:

A plan, that was what they needed right now. Whoever this guy was, whoever was controlling him or giving him orders, didn't sense the dark power festering within him. The fact that this thing knew who Okarot was and was challenging his daughter and Claudia of all people, didn't help the situation any, especially if he wasn't there. And the fact that Hiroshi didn't know who or what this monster was, made the situation all the worse. What really mattered of course was that he was a maddened, cackling beast, with an energy incredibly dark.

Looking back towards Claudia, who was wrapping herself around Tomia, Hiroshi tensed as the monster stepped forward. They needed a way to get Tomia out of there and have fighters focused on this beast. Hiroshi could fight this thing, but power was angled in this beast's favor, skill and experience clearly went in his favor. Right now with Hiroshi on Namek, that eliminated him.

Turning his head, Hiroshi scanned over Moori, who had recoiled in shock when the monster had first appeared. Sure the power he felt from this thing was significant and would give him a run for his money, but it was nothing terrifying. Which meant Moori felt something they didn't, or had never felt a power like this, which honestly after Frost and Garlic Junior, he doubted.

There was a power near the building the Beast had destroyed that looked ready to fight, if they timed it right and worked in tandem, they could take this thing down-

There was a pause when Hiroshi turned to the new Elder of the Namek. The same expression Moori wore was etched across his features as well, and even in his social akwardness he knew that something was wrong. The Nameks had never been the bravest, but they'd never been cowards.

Unless they're picking up on something I'm not

" Hiroshi, if you fight that thing, you'll all die, the planet will be razed and destroyed. Please rethink your options." Moori finally said, trembling slightly.

Thats it. Off to Earth we go!

Flaring his energy, golden energy whipped up around him, lightening sparking around his form as his hair sharpened and spiked upwards. Sighing, he flared his energy more, the air before him shattering like glass before he dove through it.

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()

The world warped around him as jumped from planet to planet, finally arriving behind Broly, his guard raised as golden flames whipped around his frame. Steel towers rose into the sky, or some did, most looked crumpled and broken, while the wind whipped harshly at his face. But the Super Saiyan had no time to admire the city in its sorta glory, In front of him, the M marked beast began to cackle again, a stronger wave rolling off his soot covered face.

"What's wrong?" He cackled maddeningly, looking more confident and amused as he looked over Claudia " Have you never seen the true power of a Super Saiyan bitch?"

To Hiroshi, it was hardly words to incite anger.But the latter half of the sentence was cause for concern and fury. Claudia was someone he cared about, and needed to win this battle, and even if her power was incredible and fed by anger, he needed her level headed and focused to win this. Clearing his throat, Hiroshi got the giants attention.

" I'm sorry, but bitch isn't a very nice word." The words leaving his mouth as his aura exploded around him, the ground quaking as it fissured in every direction, a scowl covering his face as two twin orbs of azure energy swirled in his palms.

" I don't know who you are, but threatening my daughter and girlfriend really pisses me off prick!" With those words, the bolts shot from his palms, streaking towards the giant striding towards them. Colliding mere moments later, the landscape shook with incredible force, sending broken glass, twisted and warped steel, and chunks of concrete in every direction. The waves of force rolling collapsed a nearby skyscraper, its top breaking through the center and plummeting down through its floors. Smoke rose from the crater as Hiroshi stood stationary, staring expectantly into the crater.

When the smoke parted seconds later, Hiroshi immediately went into crisis response mode. Shifting his weight to one side, moving his arm out, he shoved Claudia aside and pulled back as the golden figure blasted between the three of them, coming in for a tackle but finding empty space instead. The tall giants legs slammed into the earth meters from them, causing a large build up a soil rock before him as the concrete cracked beneath him and the pressure he put off. The act slowed the Saiyans movement, giving him time to turn and face the trio, With a feral look spread across his features, he reached his hand out as a green orb formed in his hands, a new hill of rock forming as he moved.

When he threw his hand out, Hiroshi felt confident he could dodge the incoming blast, preparing to swat it away.. until it fractured. Hundreds of blasts scattered from one, and Hiroshi's face twisted into one of frustrated surprise. Bounding upwards, he dodged one below him, before twisting in the air like a pretzel to dodge several and swat more away from his daughter and Claudia.

The city, once a testament to human ability and success, quickly transformed into a hellish apocalyptic city scape. Green blasts rolled over around the city, sending cars, concrete, glass and warped steel in every direction. Hovering back, cautiously backing away from the looming smoke clouds, Hiroshi turned just in time to see the next attack coming. Before it could make contact, muscle memory taking over, Hiroshi spun away, smashing his palm against the monsters jaw, the Saiyan's eyes widening in pain as he flew through the glass of a shop.

Claudia put Tomia down and smiled at her. A feeling of joy now going through her now that Hiroshi was back. Also, now her boyfriend aparantly... though she wasn't about to question it or complain... because it seemed right. Sex might be... odd... they'd have to find somewhere. She patted Tomia on the head. "Now, keep safe. Make sure the brick headed muscle brain doesn't hurt you. I'm going to go with your father and beat him up."

She then jumped, her red body, encircled with searing blue fire, leaped into the air. She landed on top of whereever Broly Landed, a mega hulk punch slamming downwards into the Saiyan, empowered by both fire and rage. She slammed her fists down repeatedly onto him, unrelenting in her beating. "Call. Me. Bitch. One. More. Time. Mother. Fucker!" She then followed up with another punishing downward smash. Claudia Smash puny Saiyan!

Valka frowned, looking at the now-defiled hammer. Perhaps this had not been the best of ideas. Shrugging, she surrounded the hammer with her hottest fires, purifying it of Hercules. Inspecting she set it done, then spoke to the stricken Hercules, "Begone, Hercules. Go tell Zeus of how a mortal bested thee." Teleporting him back to Olympus, she turned, calling out to Alex, "Come, Alexander."

A few hours later, the Asgardians and their guest stood in the dining hall, sufficiently restored, alongside the kitchen, for this feast to happen. All of Asgard assembled, Valka stood upon the table, no longer in battle armor, but in a long, flowing blue dress. "Asgardians. I shall take a little of thy time to speak here. We are reunited. Asgard, and all its people have returned. Let us never forget our true mission, to keep the Nine Realms secure of those who would plunge it into darkness, to defend the weak, because we are strong. Let us never forget our All-Father, Odin Borson who has not returned with us. And now, to recent events. Let us rebuild this Asgard, our home, to greater glory than ever before. And then, Asgardians, to war! Olympus has returned, and seeks to cast its influence and dominion over Midgard. Let us not forget that we are not conquerors, nay, I tell you, but defenders. Guardians of Midgard, and though we receive little as result, there is strength, honor and glory. Strength within us. Honor in our hearts. And glory to be won!"

"So let us feast, in remembrance of this victory and the more to come! Also beside me, is one of Midgard. Though he could not best me," Valka said, looking down at Alex and chuckling, "He did far better than Zeus could have done, for all that old man's arrogance. He fought well, and realized the futility of standing by Olympus. He has agreed to stand by us, and has already defeated Hercules. Therefore, we shall stand with him, and his noble goals. Lastly, I shall propose a new saying, a new motto for Asgard. Life before Death. Strength before Weakness. Journey before Destination. But enough of my talking!" Valka cried aloud. "There is bread and grain, meat and mead, and elderberry wine. Let us feast Asgard!" she boomed out, twirling Gungnir and slamming it into the table.

Valka leaped down, and so, the feast began. There was indeed much bread and meat and mead, and much more. There were contests of strength of drinking and will. For tonight, Asgard had returned and it rejoiced.

"Room for one more guest?" A voice from within the Asgardian's head asked. It would be the familiar voice of one she had once helped, though weary and twinged with some tiredness. If she looked around she might see an armoured figure, staff in hand, the familiar form of the Aeshandra that she had defended Aiuar with. While Valka had gotten much stronger since the battle Aeshandra seemed to have gotten weaker, or at least more weary and exhausted. An observant person might even be able to notice the burns on her armour or the scratches. "Your battle with the Grecian gods was impressive All Mother. I watched it all with my magic. Even the more... cringeworthy bits... Vokor above that nut shot must have hurt. Both of them..."

[Charmera]

-snip-

"Always" Valka responded, smiling at hearing Aeshandra's voice. Turning at finding her, she walked over to her friend, whom she looked at with an critical eye. "You look world-weary, and as if you were in battle, my friend. Tell me, is there anything I can do to better your condition? she asked, frowning a bit. "But thank you," she said, chuckling at Aeshandra's comment about Alex and Hercules' battle.

"I was." Replied Aeshandra. The telepathic equivelent of a frown was given. "Unforseen consequences (Well, not exactly unforseen) of our arrangement. I'm not exactly the most popular person in the senate at the moment" She replied. "But that hardly matters now. I came here to visit Asgard. I thought I'd see what your home was like. Perhaps vicariously enjoy in the reveling and the happiness."

"As for what you could do for me... perhaps find me a seat? Perhaps we could also talk a little after the Banquet too?"

-snip-

"I hope that you shall enjoy it then, Alexander of Midgard. You will not find heartier food than this." she said, smiling at him and thumping him on the back. "You wish to have a rematch, Alexander of Midgard?" she asked, lifting an eyebrow. "Very well, whenever you wish." she said, smiling.

Turning to Killian, her face solemn, she responded, "Yes, Odin is no longer among us. In the final days before the End, Asgard was attacked by all its enemies, led by the treachery of that thrice-accursed Loki. I will kill that traitor the moment I see him," Valka muttered audibly, her face growing dark with a desire for vengeance. Only Odin and I survived, but Odin was fatally wounded. I was offworld at the time and returned to late to join and die with my brethren." Valka said, sighing. "After the End, all of the Asgardians returned, but Odin did not. I sense that he does not want to come back, world-weary, he has become. But let us no longer speak of his death. He was indeed, awe-inspiring, if that is what you mean by this word awesome. The wisest of us all."

"And yes, Killian of Midgard, Valka I am, Goddess of Forging, Metal, Fire and Thunder. Odin mentioned you briefly, but as All-Mother I know of all my children, including you, Killian Roth, though you were not born of Asgard, that is what you are now, of Asgard. God of Speed you are. Hermod has grown bitter, and has twice now, in these short hours, begged to have his title returned. But unless he can beat you, that cannot be done, and we both know that he cannot win. Furthermore, you do not even have to accept his challenge, it was his pride that made him do so. But I know also of your recent grievances. Forget them a little while with mead and wine, and fear not, for there is hope yet, but you must discover it, Killian of Midgard."

"Killian... Now there's a name I've heard. Though I suppose it is hard not to at least hear whispers of the God of Speed." Spoke the Vokornian, her attention shifted slightly. "I would love to study you. Your command over motion and speed is fascinating. Could there be something in you that could..." Thoughts whired through the Vokornian's head. She dismissed them. She wondered, if he was what she was searching for, how far would she got to get what she wanted? It was a question she often asked herself. She knew there were lines she could cross that could speed up her research considerably. But to do that or not was... a question she often had to ask herself. Especially after excitement for results got three of her kind killed... "Apologies. I ramble occasionally when I'm curious."

Cora nodded to Lady Lantern and gripped the building and began to rip it from the ground. It wasn't very hard since they building was already mostly detached, however now the full weight of the building was pressing against her. "Alright let's go!" She shouted to Lady Lantern as she began to fly up into the sky, bringing the large building with her as her and Kylie flew it into the sky. Although Cora realized that Katie was still inside her. "Where should we bring it?" She called to Kylie, since she was very unfamiliar with the terrain.

Just plop it in a park or something. Oh! Wait! not far from here is a car park you should be able to safely land this thing. Remarked Katie, who seemed to be getting nice and cozy within Cora. Extra energy wasn't needed, so she just sat within her for now, like reserve power one might need later. Also, when you want me out just say the word... although it is surprisingly comfortable in here... I could see this place being quite nice with a sofa and a TV. She joked.

[Charmera]

Naja wasn't really sure how to react to the woman flailing what appeared to be a Green Lantern ring. "Woah woah... Calm down. I'm on your side and not here to fight... Unless green lanterns suddenly became the bad guys." She said and put her hands up. "And snake lady? Okay, so my name is Naja, but I don't call you... Greenie or something." She said but was obviously kidding. "I heard fighting when I was flying over the city and thought I'd check it out, but it seems like I missed all the action. Speaking of which, are you all doing some sort of all women team? Cause there's a lot of you. And I'd like to try out. I'm the Golden Guardian's girlfriend. Or wife. Same thing pretty much. And, I'm just as strong as he is. Maybe even stronger but don't let him hear that." She said. Hopefully the Green Lantern would muster the courage to blast her with a construct, having never fought a lantern, there was no telling if she would be able to win.

"That's... actually not a bad idea..." Remarked Katie, now outside Cora. She didn't seem to mind the snake lady at all, after all she had grown up in an area where Mutants were rather common. And when she heard she was pretty powerful, ideas starting turning in her head. She'd have to try the thing she had tried on Cora on Naja at some point. She smiled at all of them. "That's actually an awesome idea! Guys. After the Feds are done with us we should head back to my pla- I mean home base to form a team and stuff!" She paused. "Yes. I have... a Voltcave... like Batman." She nodded as she lied to keep the feds from suspecting she was just a regular college girl. Naja and Greenie would soon find out that she didn't have a Voltcave.

[Charmera]

"Volt... Cave?" Naja asked. "I assume that means you have electric powers, right? Wouldn't something like the Power Plant make more sense?" She asked. "As for the team thing. Well, one thing is for sure, we'll need a name. Since the Justice League and Avengers went and took all of the good names, that means we'll actually have to be original. Which stinks. I was going to suggest the Power Puff Girls..." Naja said as a joke. She was happy to see at least one of the women in the room didn't freak out about her appearance. She had always been a little off put by it sometimes. At least until she met Alex, someone who had just as many problems fitting in as she did. So she did her best to make sure she never treated anyone the way she was. Unless they were assholes.

Katie frowned under her green mask, and quickly moved over to Naja. "Just between us and the team, the volt cave is my code word for my apartment. I don't want anyone tracing us back there if we go ahead with this team stuff. Secret identities have to be protected after all." She explained, whispering. "Plus it doesn't hurt to make us sound more rich and well connected than we are." She winked under her mask, now smiling. She kinda liked this Naja.

"Oh and yes, I have electrical powers. Plus a few others. Like Ion control and Plasma stuff." Now speaking loud enough to be heard by everyone. "Name... Name... Power Puff Girls sounds like an animated show, so I'm guessing it's taken too..." She paused. "Justice... Justice... Justice girls?" She suggested.

Agent Saunders was leading the group to the tent that was serving as headquarters as the girls spoke among themselves. Cora wasn't sure about most of what Naja had said. She didn't know who the Golden Guardian was, and then she asked if they were a team and suddenly Katie began to chime in. She seemed pretty excited about the idea of them creating a team. Cora wasn't as sure. She had never been part of a team before, she didn't know if she would fit in. However she had really enjoyed fighting with the others today, and it would be a great way for her to finally get the friends that she always wanted. Still, they could talk about that later.

Saunders had led them into the tent headquarters and brought them to a large table where soldiers brought chairs for them to sit around. Cora looked quite nervous about this. She hated the sight of soldiers. "So, first thing is is I want to get your accounts about what happened here today. We'll need all the facts for our report. Let's start with the big things first, what happened to the building? And how did you defeat your opponent?" He asked the group, another man sat nearby, pen and paper in hand.

\
"Dammit Man you ruined my train of thought..." She whined, then sighed. "Fine. Okay." She replied. Then quickly relayed the events of the past fight without pausing for breath at high speeds. She wanted to get this over with. Once she was done. She inhaled. "And the building is in a nearby parking lot, taking up a lot of empty spaces. Boy people are going to be pisssed..." She commented.

I was still laying down on the ground in my teleporter's landing spot, seemingly doing nothing. In reality, I needed to catch my breath after all of that happened, though figuratively. It's hard to live a life of constant fighting and pulse-pounding action - you have to take a rest sometimes. But not for long - because then you'll get lazy and sit around doing nothing. I quickly stood up and brushed off the dirt and gravel off my clothes. I still wear them, despite not even needing them. If you want to live on Earth, you have to adapt to it's customs.

Now what? Well, the most logical course of action would be to jab those two elenentals who killed me back there right in their puffed out cheeks. But not yet... Influx is still recharging after the battle on that unnamed planet. I bet Xicor is spending his time right now trying to find a way to get rid of that flaw and become better than me. Well... what does one like me do when he knows hes out of punching options and he might or might not get screwed over soon?

It's a tricky question, but a bar is a solid solution. "Solid". As in "not really". Well, at least there might be some weakling Earthlings inside, trying to fight me and just asking to boost my self-esteem. With all of these thoughts, I rose up from the ground and flew off to the northwest.

---

I don't even remember which city is it. What I know is that it is a place I visit sometimes. Throughout my long years of living on Earth, I've visited many places, but not many were as wretched and pub-heavy as this one. Perfect. After checking out the town from the skies, I landed on the ground in front of a small local bar, and without many thoughts, walked in.

In the very same bar happened to be a silver haired girl, young looking and pretty. Frank may recognize it as the android Liberty, her eyes clearly on the drink she was nestling. One might think that it'd a little weird seeing a 19 year old girl, much less an android whom shouldn't be able to get drunk, but here she was, obviously more than a little tipsy and tired, looking at a half emptied drink. She sighed. Her confidence had been shaken by the elemental battle. She had thought she could take on anyone, even people more powerful than her. She could always out-think her opponents, from Mongol to Thor she could predict them like clocks. These two... that didn't matter. She couldn't even hurt them. She wondered where it was exactly she went wrong.

"Oh... Um okay. We'll have to work on that at some point." She whispered back. An apartment? Sure, her and Alex's first encounter took place in her apartment, but that was before she got her new powers. Since then they mostly never stayed in one place for long. Lack of a need for sleep or any form of rest for that matter made it impractical to have a home. Especially since neither her nor Alex actually had any money. It's not like anyone was hiring snake women. Maybe Wal-mart. "Nah. It's fine. It's not like snake people are a common sight." She said smiling. "You never watched the Power Puff Girls? Why am I the only one who's heard of TV and movies?" She asked in a half joking half serious manner. "I'm kinda human. Inhuman actually. Alex took me to space with some of his alien friends. He's a bit... Stoic and blunt at times. But it's not really the poor guy's fault. He was meant to be a weapon."

"Not as uncommon as you might think... I used to hang with two other mutants who looked vaguely reptilian." Katie commented offhandedly. "And yes, we will have to fix that at some point. Though for now it's all we got..."

Cora had walked along with the group in silence, listening to the others talk and Katie began rattling off ideas for names for the team that they apparently we're going to create. Cora was thinking aimlessly when suddenly a thought came to her mind. Katie had said her last name was prince, which was a position of royalty. She couldn't give that away though to the others. "Maybe Justice Queens? I feel like that sounds... nice." She said, not being able to say that her inspiration was Katie's last name.

When they arrived at the table Cora couldn't help but smile in amusement as Katie retold the events of the day at a high speed pace. She enjoyed watching the note taker desperately try to keep up. He seemed to have a much asier job following Kylie as he wrote down her account as well. Saunders was listening intently the while time, not speaking. Finally he spoke when Kylie asked about the civilans. "There were some injuries, some people are in bad shape, but no expected fatalities thanks to you girls. A lot of people are alive because of you, and the U.S. government owes you a debt of gratitude."

"What was that Android doing here?" Cora demanded. Her tone wasn't very friendly. Agent Saunders looked at Cora intently. "I figured you would have some questions Android 21. Well, the truth is he was created by the United States Government as a failsafe... against you." Cora's eyes widened as the agent continued. "He was being programed to become operational when he escaped, and came after you."

"And what do you plan on doing with him?" She asked the agent. "There's nothing to worry about there. We are making every effort to ensure we have a facility that he can not escape from." Cora looked quite skeptical, but Saunders ignored it.

"The U.S. government would like to be on better terms with you Android 21. It seems that we had the wrong impression of you. Wed like you to come join us at the defense department." Cora scoffed, "I'm not interested in working for you. However there is something I want." Saunders raised an eyebrow and Cora continued, "I want the lab I was developed in. I know it was kept intact, and I want anything that was seized from it to be returned. I'll consider that my payment for cleaning up after you." She said coldly.

Saunders considered it for a moment, "I'll discuss it with my bosses, but I suspect that can be arranged." He then turned to the others in eh group. "The government tower you all a debt as well. If there's any favors you need, I'll try to see if we can accommodate. Within reason of course. For now that's all we need. You're all free to go if you'd like, and thank you again for your help." Saunders told the group. Cora was the first to quickly leave the table. Clearly wanting to get away from men in uniform as soon as possible. The experience was bringing back very unpleasant memories for her.

"Thank you, but I do this superhero stuff as a hobby, not a paying job... although..." She paused. She thought back to something she had came up with a while ago. "I might actually need something from you..." She quickly grabbed her crime fighting bag and rolled out a blueprint she kept. Obscured from the others by her body. She wanted it to be a surprise. "I could use some help with this. Whether you could help me assemble it or give me money to get the parts. It would be much appreciated."

Oh, no... Already bringing back memories...

My eye scanners almost immediately noticed the familiar looking girl on one of the many chairs around. It really stood out, even without the advanced vision, what with her being pretty much the only bright, "happy" and female thing in this entire bar, a place filled with sadness, darkness and edgyness. Speaking of which, Liberty wasn't that joyful either. Maybe she's down after the disaster on Battleworld. Maybe she had a bad day. Maybe she's into alcoholism, even though being an android.

Is it just me or is this he perfect tme to rub my victory at gaining th Influx transformation right at her face? Not literally, though. I zipped through the bar and stopped just a few feet next to Liberty, then spoke:

"So, is this what Earthling heroes do on intermission?"

"It's what I do when I have a bad day." She muttered, then turned to face the person she was speaking with. She sighed, drinking from her drink. "Oh, It's you. Yay." She muttered in response bitterly. "I just love it when reminders of my failures come in to drink with me." She pulled up a seat, her face conveying no added emotion. "Feel free to sit down and proclaim superiority. I'll try to resist the urge to smash your face in." She replied, pushing the chair slightly so he could sit down. "Do you drink? I'm guessing not. Among our mechanical kind I suppose I'm somewhat unique in that."

"It's what I do when I have a bad day." She muttered, then turned to face the person she was speaking with. She sighed, drinking from her drink. "Oh, It's you. Yay."

"Feel free to sit down and proclaim superiority. I'll try to resist the urge to smash your face in." She replied, pushing the chair slightly so he could sit down. "Do you drink? I'm guessing not. Among our mechanical kind I suppose I'm somewhat unique in that."

Am I really that predictable? I guess I am kind of one-dimensional, though, so it's justified. I took a seat next to Liberty, though didn't bother to order a drink. My mouth isn't even made for that. It's built to imitate the human one for the visible parts, and then it dead-ends immediately. Well, why would an android have a stomach anyway? I know I don't - why would I need to consume organic material? In order to refill my infinite energy supply?

"Well, what can I say... I can be considered a better person by not resorting to alcoholism to solve my problems. I can't even do that, even if I wanted to!" I laughed. "Whoever made you must have been a weird person to let you consume foodstuffs. Or are you one of those androids only in name, actually being cyborgs?"

"It's not alchoholism. I only drink when I loose." She explained. "So not often." She said. Part boast and part honest assessment. She didn't usaully need a drink. "He probably is. Bastard is like a twisted willy Wonka. He wen't through an uncomfortable amount of work and detail while designing my more... human qualities. As well as a sexual system." She explained. "I'm not sure why he did the Alcohol. I can guess with the Sex system was either for more perverted reasons or for my own benefit. I'm not sure honestly."

"Typically, when people say study me, they mean tie me to a surgical table and start slicing away. However, I know how it works, so if you'd rather me explain it to you, I would prefer doing that to being vivisected." Killian said not really a fan of him being "studied." Far too many negative connotations have come from that. "My powers, much like Valka's and Late Odin's. Stem from an extra-dimensional energy. Mine comes from the Speed Force. The thread of space and time. It holds everything together and pushes time forward. By channeling it's power I can do all sorts of crazy things." He said and heard that Hermod was not happy about losing a race to him. "Which would would be... The one that make him feel the least terrible? If I say yes, and we race... We all know how that's gonna turn out. I say no, and that's saying he's not worth my time. I say yes and let him win, he'll know I did that and be even more irritated."

"I never get to use my full power. When we fought, it was only the third time. Once when I fought Nightmare, another when I fought the Phoenix. I was able to beat Nightmare, but the same thing happened from when I fought you, Valka." He said making a fart noise. "Powers get lazy and just turn off when they feel like it."

"I'd like to say I wouldn't do that... but... I'd be lying if I thought you might have what I need, maybe... I often question myself on that point. Not even sure how it would help..." She remarked in response to the slicing away bit, admitting that bit guiltily. Then listened. "Intriguing. Extra dimensional energy... similar to my Astral magic. I apologize if I made you uncomfortable. I just... am looking for answers constantly."

Empty Quarter, Arabian Peninsula

"Just your average day in FUCKEDUPCOUNTRYstan!" Odysseus taunted, sidestepping out of the way of an incoming RPG.

After popping out of the Cover produced by Magnus, He swiped his arms out at, bringing forth a nanite-created wall that blocked a shot from the tank.

Switching out for his Guided pistol, he switched it on, sprinting through he smoke at full speed. An Anti-tank grenade was in his other hand.

Bang Bang. Two guys down. Bang Bang. Two more guys hit the ground. Bang Bang Bang. He was on a killing spree. They were coming at him with dirt bikes and tanks and choppers, and all he had was a Pistol. He was still kicking ass.

"Double kill!" He mocked. "Triple kill! Killing spree! M-m-m-m-m-m-m-monster kill!"

Preforming another acrobatic move, he tossed the Anti-tank grenade right at the tank, a T-72. After planting into it's front reactive armor panel, it dug into the Tank, where it exploded from the inside, popping it like a balloon.

Odysseus dropped a magazine from his C6X20 Laser-Guided Pistol, soon slapping another in. Resembling a cross between a G18, a Revolver, and a Taser, his personal fun-toy of doom was a revolving Pistol, equipped with a built in blue laser pointer, sound and flash suppressor, mini bayonet, improved iron-holo sights, a folding stock, and a high-power LED flashlight. The Laser not only improved his aim, but could also aim for him. Using the built in computer the Laser, once successfully locking onto a target, he could fire a rapid burst at the target, incapacitating it or killing it. This gave him sniper rifle level accuracy, with the stopping power of a shotgun, and, combined with quick reloading, meant that he would be nearly unstoppable.

Flipping the weapon's stock out, he decided he needed something heavier to take out the chopper. A second went by, and the weapon's barrel Transformed into that of a RPG-SMAW-Panzerfaust Hybrid. The entire weapon morphed into his new Anti-everything Play toy, the Slammer. Missile Launcher: This freak hybrid between a RPG, a SMAW, and a Panzerfaust could fire basically anything, from debris-filled warheads, to regular HEAT and MANPAD, to even recoilless rifle rounds and depleted uranium nuclear warheads, for taking out the big stuff like Big boats, if he could aim it thanks to the last one's weight.

Sliding into a crouched position over the sand, he thought of something new. Taking off the warhead he already had on it, he slapped on something new: a custom-built warhead of his own imagination, that would work. If he successfully locked onto two things at once, he could possibly take out those two Helixes, at once.

Squeezing the trigger, he let the rockets fly. Splitting in mid air- they both shot into the air like a Javelin, then dove down at their targets like a missile.

Simultaneously, both helicopters had fallen to their doom, sinking into the sands of the Empty Quarter.

Realizing that the insurgents were fleeing, Odysseus decided a good old flip of the bird would do them well. "I win!"

Until he realized why they were fleeing. Looking up, a gigantic ki sphere, the size of an aircraft carrier, was descending down at the Empty Quarter.

"Magnus...?" Odysseus asked, taking out his hoverboard. "You might want to get the fuck out of here.."

"Why?" The golem stuck his head out of the sand comically. Odysseus gestured up at the Ki Sphere.

"Oh shit."

Before he knew it, Odysseus had sped away, fleeing towards the Ocean. Moving across the terrain at faster than sound speeds, he urged the villagers to flee to higher ground or a safer place. "In about ten seconds, the Empty Quarter is going to turn into the Arabian Sea! Run!"

Magnus stared up at the ki ball. Using Planetary Assimilation, he pushed his hands forth, bringing forth Rocks the size of Battleships, to block the sphere. Resembling his hands, they caught Myosai's Accidental attack, and struggled with it.

Magnus's "rock arms" broke, and he yelled. "Oh shit! Myosai, you son of a-"

The sphere hit the Golem in the Face, then began to dig into the ground.

Ground which was suddenly missing, swept up and absorbed into a quickly growing massive Tina. She was about 800 feet tall when she finally stopped consuming earth into her. She then quickly grabbed Magnus and cradled him in one hand, putting herself in between the blast and then using her own strength to close her hand around the Ki ball, now being more that large enough to place it in the palm of her hand. She knew this was likely going to hurt, likely take her earthen hand off. But at least Magnus would be safe.

Cora was walking along with the others toward a coffee shop. She heard the others chatting and she seemed a but shy in this large group, she wasn't used to so many people. They seemed like a nice group of people though. This seemed like it would be a lot of fun. She just hoped that none of them would get hurt. She then heard Valancy speaking about costumes. "Well I suppose I'll need one. And a name too I guess. I suppose we should all get to know each other right? I've never been on a team before. But I'd like it if we became friends." She said blushing a but, hoping she wasn't embarrassing herself.

"Well we should all probably take the opportunity to get changed quickly and then reveal our secret identities in the coffee shop." She remarked. "It'd contribute to us trusting each other and whatnot." She then noticed Cora blushing and then wrapped an arm around her. "Don't worry Cora. We're going to be fighting side by side against some crazy villains. All of us should all have ample chance to get to know one another and become friends."

[Charmera]

"It's not alchoholism. I only drink when I loose." She explained. "So not often." She said. Part boast and part honest assessment. She didn't usaully need a drink. "He probably is. Bastard is like a twisted willy Wonka. He wen't through an uncomfortable amount of work and detail while designing my more... human qualities. As well as a sexual system." She explained. "I'm not sure why he did the Alcohol. I can guess with the Sex system was either for more perverted reasons or for my own benefit. I'm not sure honestly."

This is a really weird conversation. So there's more to Liberty than meets the eye... Sexual system, it's the thing that allows life to self-replicate, right? Pretty sure. Well, a self-replicating soldier isn't a bad idea, but wouldn't it be better to just build new ones yourself and use the spare resources previously used for reproduction organs for something more useful? Huh. Maybe it's just me.

"Well, maybe that's why we Celestial Androids are so superior. We're 100% built for combat. Every single part of this body you see right here, every gram of it - all used for the purpose of making me a deadly warrior. Meanwhile, with the Earthling machinery and their wicked engineers, you might just get a drinking robot in the front instead of a fighting robot. Just saying."

"100% built for combat? A gun is 100% built for combat. A sword is 100% built for combat. A tank is 100% built for combat. Doesn't mean shit if there's an arrogant dickhead at the helm thinking he's invincible." Liberty responded, getting annoyed now. The alchohol did nothing for her mood, even though she wasn't that drunk. "Just because I drink doesn't mean I can't kick you ass while drunk off my ass.

Just as Tina Thought, Myosai's accidental blast did blow her earthen hand off. Having the force of Several hundred nukes, it would've sent forth hurricane-force winds, Downing the escaping helicopters and sweeping Odysseus away.

It only took one touch my Tina's palm to detonate the Ki sphere. An explosion of that force would've triggered a minor Earthquake, and clouded the area for a good five minutes from Space. Myosai watched in terror as the impact site of her Ki sphere was covered in Dust. Tense, she could not figure out whether or not whoever was down there survived, or not.

--

Magnus had clenched his eyes shut, then opened them.

Being dark, he parted the rocks ahead of him and peered out into the desert sunlight. It only took a second for him to register what happened: Tina had saved him. She'd sacrificed probably one of her arms, just for him. A favor, for a favor, it seemed.

Scanning the area, he saw that the nearby village was fine, 100% Intact. Odysseus, however, was under a few feet of sand.

Surfacing like a swimmer, Odysseus spat out some sand roughly. "God damn it, That pinkie is getting on my nerves!" He said, rising out of the sand thanks to Magnus's Geokinesis parting it for him.

Odysseus looked up at the gigantic Tina, who'd saved them all. "Huh. Rocky, your girlfriend saved us all."

Tina winced as she felt the pain of earth so connected to her destroyed. She grunted. Then reshaped the earth around her, carving herself a smaller body, her arms repaired, if much smaller, and leapted from the massive earthen body, which she then forced to rejoin the earth from whence it came. She walked next to Magnus, then dispersed the dust, sending it flying away. Then she exhaled. "Are you okay? The blast didn't hurt you right?" She asked, concerned, she put a hand on his chest, looking for injuries. She had to act as a shield for her friends and family, as earth should. Defending others. It was only right. "Our pink friend should be more careful." She commented absently, not as interested in the cause of the blast as making sure Magnus was alright. She felt a kindred spirit with him, perhaps that two rocky beings could understand one another.

[Charmera]

There was then a flash.

Bright as it was hot, the arrows simply vaporized on contact with hot, fiery nuclear death. Pure heat and radiation consumed them like a fire would kindling. Then, there was the smiling Kimiko. Arrows gone, but her smile still there. She felt good whenever she use her power. Like some new age goddess of fire and death, though there were others more powerful than her in this world (For now) she still couldn't help but feel on top of the world after that.

Shame it had to stain her soul gem when she used it too much...

"Really? Because if your just going to pelt arrows at me from afar I really have little to worry about." She stood, smiling her cocky smile. "Should we discuss terms of your surrender again or shall I use your friends' intestines to construct your noose?"

How had she done that? How had this annoying upstart effortlessly blocked all of her attacks simultaneously? Elena slowly breathed in and out to calm the anger that was quickly making itself known. There was a snarl left upon her face, and her next assault was a bit sloppy. The magical girl raised her bow and charged it until its volume was three times that of the previous one. The arrow glowed white this time, and upon release, Elena followed her projectile from behind. When the arrow hit, she would follow up with a series of kicks to wound her opponent.

Kika was doing just as well as Kimiko now. Blood coated her hook blades entirely as the mutilated corpse of one of the former magical girls laid nearby. Her other two friends kept their distance, but were seething with rage. In response, she merely gave them a reassuring smile.

"The life of a Magical girl is rather hard. You shouldn't have changed your lives for some wish. Now I have to kill a bunch of runts like you," Kika spat the last part out, and charged towards her foes. Unsure as to why they were so slow to dodge, the two raised their weapons in defense. Unfortunately, Kika was vastly stronger and separated the legs from the body of the blonde one. The following screams were a delight.

Kimiko smiled, though she had gotten a little lazy, the dodge she performed was too close, causing the arrow to graze her face. Not noticing at first, she proceeded to catch her opponents foot with her Halberd, blocking it and pushing her leg to the side. She smiled, then frowned slightly, she felt a stinging at her face. Bringing her hand up to her cheek she felt the sticky feeling of blood. The cut was shallow, but it was enough to make the girl stop.

She... touched me. She actually touched my... perfect face. Her fists clenched around her Halberd. That bitch cut me... She can't do that! She can't! She can't! I can't let her!

Her thoughts became erratic, but her movements became more precise, faster and with more force as her desperation to make sure her foe didn't have a chance to mar her perfect features further. She sped towards her foe, stabbing with her halberd forward in a strike meant to brutally skewer her foe, though she also sent a white hot burning ray of nuclear heat, death and radiation her way.

Claudia put Tomia down and smiled at her. A feeling of joy now going through her now that Hiroshi was back. Also, now her boyfriend aparantly... though she wasn't about to question it or complain... because it seemed right. Sex might be... odd... they'd have to find somewhere. She patted Tomia on the head. "Now, keep safe. Make sure the brick headed muscle brain doesn't hurt you. I'm going to go with your father and beat him up."

She then jumped, her red body, encircled with searing blue fire, leaped into the air. She landed on top of whereever Broly Landed, a mega hulk punch slamming downwards into the Saiyan, empowered by both fire and rage. She slammed her fists down repeatedly onto him, unrelenting in her beating. "Call. Me. Bitch. One. More. Time. Mother. Fucker!" She then followed up with another punishing downward smash. Claudia Smash puny Saiyan!

Hiroshi:

" Claudia, I know your angry but our best hope of beating this guy is if we work together and take him on together." Hiroshi offered, steeling himself as he stared into the inky black smoke where the Giant had been smashed.

As Claudia began to respond, the ground before them shattered, concrete scattering amidst a horribly loud wave of green energy. Floating there in the center of the smoke, the source of power was gathering his strength.

Looking up at them, his eyes blazing with barely held rage and hatred, the Saiyan sneered.

" Did you really think you could harm me? He roared. " Do you really think because there are two of you, that you can challenge the power I have in only my finger tip!"

There was another rumble from the Giant as a wave of force rolled off his body. It was hard to understand how quickly his power was rising and how quickly he was approaching a level Hiroshi couldn't keep up with. A chill ran up Hiroshi's spine as a maddened cackle echoed through the valley.

" I can't wait to strip everything you two care about away." Broly cackled " For everything you've done to me, for believing you could injure the Legend himself, I will make you suffer as no one before. I will hunt down everything you care about and rip them limb from limb! Just like I will do to you!"

The energy swirling around Broly exploded as he rocketed off at the two, the world warping around him from pure speed. Moving with all his available speed to intercept, Claudia in tow, Hiroshi threw a jab into Broly's traps, the impact echoing across the almost abandoned city scape, as loud as any explosion so far. The flesh hardly gave way, barely moving against the force exerted against it. There was no visible pain on the Saiyan's face, only a flash of fury as he roared at them. Even when he smashed his knee against Broly's ribs, the skin barely dented, unmarked by the force of the blow, as the Giant continued on his path.

Grabbing Claudia's arm then Hiroshi's, the Saiyan roughly dragged them up, cackling madly the entire time.

' What's wrong? Surprised that you pathetic excuses for Warriors are outmatched!" the Super Saiyan grinned, before dragging them at break neck speeds back towards the concrete below them.

Grabbing desperately at the hand locked like steel around his forearm, Hiroshi desperately attempted to yank his arm free. Flailing desperately, Hiroshi slammed his booted foot into the Monsters side and cracked him across the jaw with his palm, all to no avail. before the lock could be broken, the hand released his arm, Hiroshi knowing exactly what that meant. Within a second of the grip releasing, Hiroshi and Claudia slammed into the ground, their bodies cracking the asphalt and burying them beneath a wave of jagged rock.

Rolling in time, Hiroshi avoided a vicious boot coming down to break his ribcage. Bounding backwards out of the roll, Hiroshi raised a sloppy guard as a massive fist swung towards him, the strike jarring him down to the bones, as another arced up into his stomach, swinging him up into the air. before he could even begin to recover, the air shifted around him, just in time for the hulking Saiyan to move forward, twisting violently in the air, pulling his arm back from Hiroshi's gut. Seemingly within the same instance, the meaty fist came swinging back around again, battering Hiroshi's face like a hammer. With his head jerked violently to the side, Hiroshi lost what little control of his body he had left, his body rocketing away in a blur of speed. Skidding across the asphalt, his frame skipped violently across the surface, before he bounced off a car and through the glass window of a shop. Tile gave way to reveal mud, which made room for his frame.

it was only two hits, and it felt like he'd fought an entire sparring match with Pikkon all over again. Slowly, he began to pull himself up, ignoring the screaming and protesting from his muscles as he dislodged himself from the jagged tile. Clearing the worst of the mud from his eyes and neck, he heard several cracks and booms in the distance.

As soon as he looked up, a blue and gold blur was came rocketing towards him. Blinking several times, he recognized the frame of his daughter and the Saiyan from earlier, Moori told him his name was Hazzel. it took a moment for Hiroshi to release the young girl from the embrace.

" Kid, I know your glad to see me, but you need to go. this thing is hellbent on destroying us and I cant fight him without worryign about you, okay?" The sad nod told him everything.

" Hey, umm Hazzel, you got any fighting experience?" Hiroshi said easily, wiping more mud from the front of his Gi. turning his head, Hiroshi's eyes widened at the Giant, who was now casually and confidently striding towards them.

" Listen to me, in order to beat this thing, we have to work together. " Hiroshi shouted, his aura bursting around him as lightening scattered off his form. " Follow my lead and we can win this."

There was a moment where Hiroshi swore the Saiyan bristled at the remark. it was true though, even if Hiroshi didn't like teamwork as much as the next guy, this thing was to strong.

" I'll distract him," Hiroshi said quietly. " When I use my Sparking Meteor attack, I need you and Clauida to strike form opposite sides, if we hit him on three sides, there's no way he can keep them all at bay!"

Hear that Claudia? When I throw the Sparking meteor attack, you and this Saiyan we just met need to throw an attack too, overwhelm him.

Claudia grunted, pulling herself upwards. Rage filling her. Though not yet fast enough to compete with the Saiyan. She wasn't angry enough to take him on her own, and she wondered if she would ever be angry enough to do that. She was still not angry enough to reason and be logical, so she listened to Hiroshi, nodding mentally as she took in his words. She then focused on her rage, allowing it to build. Wondering if the giant would notice the sharp increase of heat and fire in the area as Claudia's blue aura of fire started glassing the floor and melting steel like marshmallows being hit by napalm.

Let's fuck this guy up.

"100% built for combat? A gun is 100% built for combat. A sword is 100% built for combat. A tank is 100% built for combat. Doesn't mean shit if there's an arrogant dickhead at the helm thinking he's invincible." Liberty responded, getting annoyed now. The alchohol did nothing for her mood, even though she wasn't that drunk. "Just because I drink doesn't mean I can't kick you ass while drunk off my ass.

"Hm. You call me arrogant, and in the exact next sentence, you claim that you can beat me without a problem. Hypocrisy or what?" I responded, still in a fairly calm mood. I don't get annoyed by people calling me weaker than them or trying to insult me in some fashion. It as happened to me numerous times, and every single time, their claims end up being baseless. So I had no fear that Liberty would just come up and beat me to a pulp. I have experience in turning things around. And combat experience all around, though effectiveness of which is hard to determine without proper insight into how much the potential opponent has to offer.

"I'm not calling myself invincible or all-powerful, by the way. Even though I'm from the top-notch forces of the Celestial Army, one of the most advanced factions in the Universe, even I have my limits, however high or impossible to reach they may look like to the ones at the ground. And that's a good thing - being imperfect means you can always strive to become better. Which is what I always do - I always train, practice and fight to keep up with other like me."

"Never said without a problem. Never said you were weak either. I'm merely saying that I could likely kick you celestial ass if there so happened to be a fight between us. Even if you were more powerful than me, I have more than a few tricks up my sleeve." She replied. "You on the other hand, seem to think just because I'm an "Earth Android." Means I'm somehow lesser than you. Which has yet to be proven in any meaningful way."

She laughed at his statement. "On the ground? Wow. And you're claiming to be not that arrogant..." She replied.

Means I'm somehow lesser than you. Which has yet to be proven in any meaningful way."

She laughed at his statement. "On the ground? Wow. And you're claiming to be not that arrogant..." She replied.

"You don't know what I can do. How can you claim you will beat me up if you don't know how strong or how well equipped is your opponent? I've seen many, many individuals who claimed they could crush me, and that I am arrogant, and yet I am still in one piece." I answered. I still thought that there wouldn't be much to Liberty, but with her claiming about her power and what she can do, I started having doubts. Maybe she is a different kind? That question will have to be tackled.

"If you so wish, we can check who is stronger between us here and now. After all, I came to this bar for fight, not to drink."

Liberty paused. Her voice suddenly went cold and analytical. "I saw your power on Battleworld. I actually bothered to watch you for a bit while you dealt with those Thors. And I assume you've gotten an upgrade since then, since the only two reasons a person comes to a bar is to drink or fight, and you can't do the former and I'm guessing that after a crippling defeat you wouldn't be so eager to fight someone unless you had something special to increase your power." She spoke, placing her bottle down and slowly easing off the chair.

"If I'm wrong, you have a quantifiable amount of power, I know your limits yet you don't know mine. If I'm right, you're likely to be rather inexperienced in its use and I can exploit your newness with this power." She lied. She'd actually exploit his arrogance and self confidence, since she wasn't yet sure if he would be able to intuitively know how to use his new power levels. Misdirection always kept her opponent off their game. She intentionally stumbled a lot, making herself out to be a lot more drunk then she actually was. Though she had to regain her balance once more which actually took a bit of effort.

She then smile at his offer for a fight. "I've been waiting a while for you to make that offer." She spoke. She put a hand on her blade. "I'll try not to damage you too much. Just don't expect me to hold back."

[Charmera]

"Well we should all probably take the opportunity to get changed quickly and then reveal our secret identities in the coffee shop." She remarked. "It'd contribute to us trusting each other and whatnot." She then noticed Cora blushing and then wrapped an arm around her. "Don't worry Cora. We're going to be fighting side by side against some crazy villains. All of us should all have ample chance to get to know one another and become friends."

"In the shop? Alright. Where are we headed?" Kylie stretched her arms a bit and waited for one of the others to lead the way. They seemed to know each other prior to meeting here, it might be for the best if they led her around for now.

Cora felt Katie wrap an arm around her, and she couldn't but smile, leaning into the embrace a bit. She had never really been comforted by a friend before, "Thanks Katie, I appreciate it." She said sincerely. "Do you have clothes to change into at the coffee shop, or do you want me to come back to your apartment with you? I suppose we'll go to the one Valancy suggested before right? I still can't believe all this has happened. So much changed for me in one day. It seems like a whole new world to me." Cora said, feeling a bit overwhelmed , but very excited by these new experiences.

Katie lost balance a bit as Cora leaned into her, the girl was after all only human in the strength department. She then thought as she regained her balance. "We'll be here to help you adjust to those changes Cora, that's what friends and teamates are for after all." She then frowned. "I guess we all should get changed. I need to get out of this outfit... We'll head to the hideout then!" She put her hand forward. She was confindent to try something after gaining a lot of extra energy from Cora. "I can take us there really quickly if you guys don't feel like walking." She spoke. "All you have to do is touch my hand."

[Charmera]

Liberty paused. Her voice suddenly went cold and analytical. "I saw your power on Battleworld. I actually bothered to watch you for a bit while you dealt with those Thors.

"Oh, now you're speaking MY language." I said and leaped off the chair I was sitting on, landing a few meters away from Liberty. The people at the bar, noticing that a fight is going to happen, moved away a bit, ready to enjoy the view, but I spoke to them:

"You should all move away as much as possible. This is no ordinary drunk brawl, but a fight between two super-powered individuals, no less." Having said that, I turned back to Liberty, who moved off her chair. "I have to say, you surely have a analytical mind. You'd make a good Z Class, if you were a Celestial Android."

I resisted the urge to use the Heat Blade at the moment, and instead created a sword as an energy construct. I find the Heat Blade way too cheap for normal fighting. It kills enemies instantly, and that just isn't fair when the opponent cannot do the same. As such, I only use it when I am bent on killing. And I am not - why would I try to end Liberty's life here? "I have to warn you, though - I am far from just an arrogant dickhead when in comes to battles. I've been fighting and training constantly for over 40 years. You make the first move." I prepared the construct sword, ready to counter an attack.

"He's right. If ya'll don't want to die. Leave this bar now. Or at least stay to the sides." She spoke. She drew her sword. Liberty then wondered what would be the best opening move. She was slightly annoyed that he was making her attack first, but supposed if she insisted he attack first they'd be there forever. Liberty smiled, then stepped back a bit. Then with great speed she launched herself towards him, feigning a strike with her blade but instead lashing out with a kick intended to send him flying through the bar door and into the street. She had a contingency plan of an aura of white flames surrounding her as she made her strike. If he dodged and counterattacked in melee he would likely burn himself attacking her, the flames being of very high intensity.

If he dodged and counterattacked in melee he would likely burn himself attacking her, the flames being of very high intensity.

I was ready to block, as Liberty decided to go for the cheap way of attack and kicked me instead of attacking. Well, there goes that plan. I was blown away by the powerful strike, and crashed through the door and into the building on the other side of the street, taking it down and getting myself covered by meters of rubble and broken walls. You know what? Why hold back? The Influx supply had fully recovered at this point - it is time to use the transformation. The ruins of the building were destroyed completely by my aura, as, after going into the Influx form, my body started faintly glowing in a white color. I didn't say a word, but instead charged up an energy blast, dashed towards Liberty at near-light speeds and then released the attack.

Liberty was having trouble getting a full read on her opponents fighting style. It always happened with androids, which annoyed her. She didn't predict the attack that he sent towards her, though was able to lessen it's effects. She stumbled back through the bar, sent flying by the attack, surprised by the lack of damage she took, though damage non the less. Her left arm was now feeling pain, though she was able to take the effects of the attack pretty well and the pain was dulled by alcohol. She was up quickly (though with a little stumble), recovering from the attack. It seemed he was faster than her, but his strikes seemed to do less damage, or she was just really tough. As she charged him and got close enoufg, around her she quickly created an explosion of white fire, with brightness matching the intensity of a flashbang, using it like a smokescreen to mask her movements as she stabbed at her foe from the side while under cover of blinding flames.

I was actually genuinely surprised that my attack did as much as I had expected. Though, my thoughts, whatever they could have been, were cut short by Liberty using a smokescreen with white flames. That's quite something- oh, and there she comes! I almost didn't notice her coming from the side, and only barely had time to put up a shield right above my arm. And even that didn't hep much, as the strike pierced through the energy construct fairly handily, only stopping when in contact with my arm. I used whatever time I had for a counter-offensive. I stabbed the floor underneath with my energy sword, and it started extending, burrowing under the ground and separating into a few blades, until finally coming back to the surface, right underneath the opponent's feet. I used it as a distraction to then attack Liberty with a rapid barrage of incredibly fast and sharp energy shards from my left hand.

Liberty expected some sort of counter attack from him as soon as she was blocked. Hopping backwards to avoid blades and prepare her next attack, though his follow up managed to hit, though only managed to leave shallow cuts, which were swiftly repaired by her regeneration systems. She quickly countered again, speeding towards her foe before going for a strike to his arm, drawing attention away from the white lightning arcing from her body in every direction which would cause damage if not avoided. If he managed to dodge these two things, or even if he didn't, she had a planned follow up of a bolt of white flame to his face.

Liberty expected some sort of counter attack from him as soon as she was blocked. Hopping backwards to avoid blades and prepare her next attack, though his follow up managed to hit, though only managed to leave shallow cuts, which were swiftly repaired by her regeneration systems. She quickly countered again, speeding towards her foe before going for a strike to his arm, drawing attention away from the white lightning arcing from her body in every direction which would cause damage if not avoided. If he managed to dodge these two things, or even if he didn't, she had a planned follow up of a bolt of white flame to his face.

Liberty didn't seem to be stopping in her offensive. My attacks didn't seem to be as effective as they should've been, or at least not as effective as I wanted them to be. Anyway, with my attacks shrugged off, and with regeneration no less - I should keep that in mind - I decided to go for a different approach. I did a frontflip to avoid Liberty's charge, boosted by my own flight, an landed a few dozen feet away. Trying to not give my opponent any time to realize what happened and then counterattack, I slammed my right feet into the ground and easily cracked it, creating a large ground fissure sent right towards Liberty.

Liberty looked in surprise as she quickly avoided the ground fissue, not quite sure what her opponent was trying to do with that move. Perhaps take advantage of her drunkeness or something? Trip her up? She didn't know. She decided to keep up the offensive. She didn't want to get worn down by Frank or something, which might be a real problem later on. But she found her normal attacks weren't as effective, so instead she decided to lob massive exploding fireballs at her target and mix that with arcing tesla like lightning. She was bombarding him with ranged attacks as much as she could.

I lifted my hands up as I put up a quick energy shield to defend against the incoming fire attacks. I noticed that Liberty really preferred the all-out attack tactic, leaving defense behind and instead fousin on the offensive. Not a bad strategy per se, but it's really Earthling-y. As in, it's mainly humans and other Earth species that usually use it. "What can I say, you're not that bad, but you're surely influenced by the Earthlings around you when regarding your ways of combat!" My energy shield wasn't going to hold that much longer, so I cocked back my right arm, lowered the shield, charged up a huge amount of energy in my palm and released it as a thick, green and very powerful energy wave. The shockwave from the released energy easily blew away what was still left of the bar, and the blast could easily destroy a large planet in a single strike. I had no plas to hold back now. I may as well just start using the Heat Blade.

As the dust cleared, one might think that Liberty would be done. That she couldn't possibly have taken a blow like that.
But she did. Still standing, the girl had half her face blown off, parts of her torn and riped. She looked scary, like some sort of winged female terminator. An angel and a andriod. She stood still, her body regenerating, face repairing itself and peices of skin now showing metal began to put themselves back together. Interestingly you could note her underskin looked very human if it wasn't a silvery colour. She defintely was quite the sophisticated work of art. Almost like a metal human. She smiled, walking towards him. Staggered and battered from taking the strike head on. Tipsy too, though a blast like that to the face had sobered her up a good deal. Her hand was kinda crewed up, but it seemed to have repaired itself to usability. "That it?" She asked.

She then walked. Towards her opponent. Cool, calm, terminator style. Not breaking stride as an aura of lighting and white fire surrounded her. "I have a feeling that might have been meant to kill me." She spoke. "And here I was thinking this was a friendly match..."

"Teleportation? I actually can't do that one." She said looking around the apartment. It was larger than hers if nothing else. But likely not enough to house a handful of superhumans. "Yeah... We're really gonna need a better place to stay. No offense. This is fine for one person. But we've got like what... 4 people here? All of whom have superpowers?" She asked. "That just seems like a bad idea. Though I like what you've done with the place."

"Actually fine for three people if I sleep on the couch." Spoke Katie, removing her mask and cowl. "You said you wouldn't need to sleep and Valancy lives in an apartment next door." She reasoned. "Though, I see what you mean... if we're going to do superhero stuff we're going to need a lot more room and tech." She sighed. "Oh, by the way, my name's Katie. Katie Prince." She smiled and extended a hand.

[Charmera]

"Sure thing," Valancy said, putting her hand on Katie's. A new chapter in her life had begun, for better, she believed. Turning to the S.H.I.E.L.D agents, holding a finger before they began barking out orders, she said, "No, we don't want to work for you, I already do so part-time." She fished out a business card and tossed it to them with surprising accuracy, the card landing directly in one of the agent's hand. "A partnership, however, sounds much more beneficial to both of us. Give that to Fury, and tell him to call whenever he likes. We can talk then." she said, offering a smile before she disappeared with the rest of the group, transported by Katie. "I hope I was speaking for the rest of you guys when I said we don't want to work for SHIELD. We'd become government agents in the end, and I fancy a partnership with funding more so than being a lapdog." she said, as they reappeared in Katie's apartment.

"Alright, so this is the base. Looks... wait, what?" Kylie looked around the apartment in shock. This apartment was... familiar. She was here earlier. She was here because...

"My name's Katie. Katie Prince."

"Katie!?" Kylie yelled in shock. "Are you kidding me!?" Kylie reached up to her face to remove her mask, then remembered the ring just removed her whole suit by itself. The costume flashed away, leaving Kylie in her casual Green Lantern clothes, staring at her friend.

"It's me! Kylie! You never told me you had lightning powers!" Kylie was kind of freaking out at this point. It was all sh could do to keep herself from jumping at her fried.

"Ky?!" Said Katie, her eyes widening to saucer size. This was certainly a twist she never expected. "You never told me that you had a magic ring and fight crime like I do! That is so cool." She spoke. Then she suddenly remembered that Kylie was going to become her roommate. "How long have you had that thing?" She asked. She was now very curious about her friend, and this actually explained quite a bit.

She was now very curious about her friend, and this actually explained quite a bit.

"I haven't done much, really. Going out today was my first big action as a hero. Maybe... almost two years? I haven't used it as much as you have, probably. Since when did you have lightning powers?" Kylie hugged her friend, glad that she could finally eventually share this burden she bore. Training to become a space cop wasn't easy, but she was stuck with it now.

"And I'm Cora, it's nice to meet you all. It's amazing to be around so many other people with powers." She then thought what Katie said about equipment. "Well, I have a place where we can get advanced computers and things but..." Her face grew darker. "Well, I'd just have to back to it is all." She said, not elaborating, as she looked off to the distance a bit.

"You." Kylie said, looking at Cora. "You're awesome. The way you beat that guy up was amazing. My name's Kylie, it's nice to meet you." She hugged Cora as well, sharing the love throughout the room. At least she quit slapping people on the ass. That was supposed to stop at practice, but Kylie did it to Cora because she was caught in the moment.

"Since I was born technically. Though they really manifested when I was in middle school." She replied. She hugged Kylie back, being a very hugging person herself. "You were really good though. That baseball bat was hillarious." she looked over to Cora, guessing she might be feeling insecure about Kylie being a roomate. "Yeah! You were great too Cora!" She said, hardly resisting the urge to move. She still had a lot of energy from Cora. A heck of a lot. "Don't worry. Like I said we should be able to fit three people in here for the time being, so we can still be roomates!"

"Since I was born technically. Though they really manifested when I was in middle school." She replied. She hugged Kylie back, being a very hugging person herself. "You were really good though. That baseball bat was hilarious." she looked over to Cora, guessing she might be feeling insecure about Kylie being a roommate. "Yeah! You were great too Cora!" She said, hardly resisting the urge to move. She still had a lot of energy from Cora. A heck of a lot. "Don't worry. Like I said we should be able to fit three people in here for the time being, so we can still be roommates!"

"Wow, you're whole life? Does that mean... you're a mutant..?" That was it. Kylie said the M-word. Either Katie would take offense, or she'd already moved past the fact that she was different. Kylie didn't say anything else, but she did notice that Katie had promised her home to Cora as well. Katie seemed to be getting all the ladies recently~~

"Yup!" She said, proudly actually. She wasn't ashamed of what she was, in fact she loved being different. Not it the way that she thought she was better than others because of it, but because it was so cool having superpowers. It was every humans dream whether they knew it or not. Sure she could be the target of descrimination because of her mutant nature, but she suppose it was just her burden to bare."100% natural, born with my powers mutie! Like the Xmen." She explained. "Don't worry. I don't take offense to the term mutant. Mutie is acceptable, though I think mutant scum might cross a line." She smiled.

[Charmera]

Cora gave a shy smile at Kylie's compliments. She wasn't used to be praised. "Well thanks, it wasn't just me though. I couldn't have done it without Katie." Cora admitted. She was surprised when Kylie hugged her. She and Katie seemed to be quite affectionate people. "Hi Kylie, it's nice to meet you too." She then had a random question for Kylie, "What was that yoy did before, during the fight? Was thay some kind of greeting?" She asked curiously.

"What do you mean?" Kylie asked, forgetting what happened. There was an adrenaline high, falling buildings, laser blasts, she just did what was natural at the time. A sporting greeting, one that she never had to explain on the diamond. And one that usually stayed between her and her softball friends.

"Yup!" She said, proudly actually. She wasn't ashamed of what she was, in fact she loved being different. Not it the way that she thought she was better than others because of it, but because it was so cool having superpowers. It was every human's dream whether they knew it or not.

"Don't worry. I don't take offense to the term mutant. Mutie is acceptable, though I think mutant scum might cross a line." She smiled.

"Alright, scum, I'll be sure to remember that." Kylie replied, smiling playfully at Katie. She was glad her friend found no offense to the term, sometimes Kylie just says/does the first thing that comes to her mind. Like calling Katie a mutant right after finding out. Or slapping Cora on the butt. Or punching the creep on the subway who tried to molest her on the way to work. That kind of stuff.

"Careful. I may have to call you muggle or mud blood if your not careful." Katie replied, chuckling at her friends joke, knowing she was just goofing around. She then got closer to her friend, grabbing her ring hand. "Speaking of magic, how does this thing work? Is it magic? Some wierd alien tech? Or do you Green lantern folk just not know?" She asked. She knew of Green lanterns, but like most other people she wasn't sure how their powers worked or of the fact they were really space cops led by a bunch of old blue men.
