Calc/Susano (Will be refered to as Susano from now on. If confused, VM me)
Hero, Personal Guard to Starfire
Renegades Base
Affected RPers: MugoUrth (Headache)

The second the girl, who introduced herself by her civilean name Lesley, tugged her hair while the tapir was on her back, Susano jolted back out of reflex. Izu's punch to the gut was still in his mind from the third North Tower Project, and he was not about to have a rerun of that. He watched her manipulate her body almost, first increasing the length of her trunk and suddenly shifted her lower half to become hooved. "No more, I get the image" Susano explains. "And Calc was my old name. It's complicated, but you can call me Susano in terms of on the field. Here, just call me Sasori." he continues saying.

"Also, you don't turn into a monster per say, you turn into a mythocal creature that's refered to as a Baku. It's hard to explain what it is, but I'll try. It's a mythical creature that often eats dreams of children, kinda like...Drozee, I think, from Pokemon" Susano explains. "My friend Izu, or Detour, turned into a similar form, though I believe the colors were different. It's been a few years since I last saw her." he contines. He gives Headache a small smile, and goes to the image of himself. The hologram flickered from Calc to Susano, spending time on each. He looked back to Izu's hologram, and his smile faulted a little. "Anyway, Headache, how have you been treated in the base so far? Things have been tense lately."

The chick's bats suddenly turned around to fight her, and then she just wiped them out. She explained more of her powers, but then seemed to get a little worried about not being able to wipe out the sniper and not being able to join the posse because of that.

"Uhh, yeah, don't worry about it," I told her, figuring that yeah, this was a bigger punk to chew. "It was really just to see you in action. We could put this one-"

And then, the alarms went off. Man, I hated that loud-pitched, whiny noise and the pulsating red light. Huh, usually intruders don't get this far in. Guess this punk really wanted to be grinded down to a tiny little pulp, heh. We offered that service all the time, free of charge, ha ha!

"Ladies and gentlemen, we seem to have a few unwelcome visitors," Brother Blood announced on the loud speaker. "I detect they are in the laboratory, and have compromised some of our rather important projects. Just something to bear in mind if you were considering torturing them instead of instantly vaporizing them."

Heh, heh, with Blood tracking those punks' movements every step of the way and announcing it to everyone, they didn't stand a chance. Not to mention the whole base now knew where they were at all times. They were going to have the whole base to fight now!

"Yes, they're in the lab," Doctor Light reported on the radio. "Time to knock their lights out, ha ha ha."

Ah, intruders. The last people that had attempted to intrude ended up as laboratory specimens. For a test that failed and resulted in them becoming a lifeless, bubbly mess.

The fools had attempted to block the door. My goodness, such an archaic means of preventing entry. Within moments, Mammoth had smashed his way through, and we found the two interlopers, stealing laboratory equipment. Such simpletons wouldn't know how to make much use of things they simply wouldn't understand.

At first, I had wondered how they were able to sneak their way into these lower chambers, and we noticed one of them had a phasing power to move from room to room, bypassing the locks. They were attempting it again, trying to enter the research center when suddenly, the walls, ceiling, and floor were surrounded by a glowing, violet-hued psychic force that blocked their escape.

"Can't let you do that, Kotamae and Titania," Brother Blood's voice laughed on the loud speaker. "Attempt that phasing power of yours again, and your minds... will become mine! And yes, I know your names, and everything you've done. It is time to show you what we do to intruders!"

Immediately, we attacked, with Mammoth rushing toward Kotamae, preparing to slam his massive fists into Kotamae while Atlas charged several laser beams and fired them at Kotamae as well. While he was being assaulted, I laughed and fired a blinding, torrent of light at Kotamae while Gizmo launched several razor sharp and fully charged plasma shuriken at Titania.

"Yeah, have fun chewing on those, you snot-licker!" Gizmo laughed. "Hope this hurts!"

As for Titania, suddenly Billy Numerous completely surrounded her from all angles, creating a clone squad of nine copies, which then proceeded to pummel the girl with an relentless barrage of punches and kicks. Cheshire soon joined in to help him, attacking Titania with blazing fast martial arts attacks with her clawed hands.

"Uh oh," Control Freak sarcastically mocked Kotamae and his companion as he entered the room. "Looks like you two little snots are in for a royal beat-down!"

Using his remote, he then summoned the T-1000 from the Terminator 2 movie, made of liquid metal and capable of turning parts of his body into razor-sharp stabbing weapons. Then, he summoned the Decepticon known as Starscream, with a series of arm-mounted launchers, cluster bombs, and the null ray, capable of shutting down all electronic devices.

These two intruders had no chance to survive.

Mirage (Eris and Jade)
City Hall, Civic Center
Affected RPers: Avenger Angel (Johnny Rotten)/Samantha Sparks

"I'll bet my minions have found them by now, I'll go check." Mirage actually... didn't know the place very well, so she just followed a trail of destruction. Eventually, she saw a hole in the ceiling. "Whoa... It's worse than I thought. Keep a low profile." Keep a low profile? The alarms were going off, and you want to keep a low profile? Even though that's not possible?

Eventually, the eye and the blade caught up to the two. The eye flew right in Silence's face and stared deep in, slowing her down. The flying knife then started to fly towards Silence's back, hoping to land a fatal blow. Of coarse, the eye's power was not strong enough to make a sure blow. Even then, the blade was still pretty fast, and would be hard to take down. But of coarse, there was Titania to worry about too.

Mirage walked into the hallway to see what was going down. She saw her minions working together to take out Silence Dogood. She almost had a good feeling this would be it. But considering the power of the two minions, she didn't gt her hopes up too high.

Headache (Lesley and Ellie)
Headquarters
Affected RPers: Delta(Calc)

Lesley was starting to become interested in Izu. The fact that she had a tapir much like hers was pretty cool. But the fact that Sasori knew who she was also intriguing. "I must ask more of this Izu person," Headache mentioned. Headache looked down and for some reason didn't exactly like the minotaur hooves, so she tried to stop thinking of them. But trying NOT to think about it caused her to fixate on it, which made her legs bigger as she was talking.

"Ellie is a lot like the one called Detour. We can control out body with our mind, but some changes take longer than others. In the last battle when I turned giant, that took about 10 minutes to do. I wonder, what was... err." Headache was just starting to notice her legs. "Let me separate, first."

After separating, Lesley continued her speech. "What were Izu and Detour like? What were their powers? Were they similar to ours? What were your relationship with each other? I really want to know."

Starfire
Hero
Renegades HQ, Central Plaza
Affected RPers: DVB, delta, MugoUrth

"I guess I forgive you then." I knew there was a logical explanation.

After he let her go from the kiss, my sister stood next to Ninjice kinda nonchalantly and took his left hand in her right. She was silent, probably wondering about things they could do together.

"Hey Star, I'm gonna show Blackfire something. I'm afraid you won't be able to train with her for now. We'll see you inna bit, okay?" We hugged and he didn't really give me a chance to refuse. Not that I wanted to or anything.

"I'll kill you later, then. You should go train by yourself." My sister said as waved goodbye at me as they went off holding hands. How nice. Maybe she really meant it. Maybe. I still did not fully trust her, but this whole ordeal definitely softened her a little.

So what to do now? I suppose now would be a good time to find out if there is anything new going on. I headed off to check in with Tecna at the Datacenter. I walked down a different hallway to get there, hoping she was feeling better after that battle. When I got there I found that she was in a trance, mentally plugged in to the huge computer called The Database in front of her. She was reclining in a big easy chair with her legs crossed. Data was literally streaming across her eyes. She was multitasking, playing an online game while reading spellbooks. I guess she had found a game that would run on our terribly slow connection and not cause what humans refer to as lag. There was also a backup being run to a hard drive connected by USB. I poked her on the shoulder.

"Huh?" Asked Tecna, swiveling in her chair and reorienting. "Oh, Star. Hi." She said in her cheerful voice with a smile.

"You are on the line? Would you be able to tell me what is up? And are you feeling any better?" I asked her, trying to use the words that I had learned.

"Yes I'm great now. All I needed was a good rest. And yes, I'm online and what's up is civilians loyal to our cause are reporting that Shade's remains have been washed away by recent rains. The Diamite she had eaten is exposed, ripe for the picking. Some of our members have been out about town collecting the chunks, away from prying eyes of course. The bad guys are also collecting the Diamite and are probably getting more of it than we are. Considering she had eaten at least 2 tons of the stuff, there should be enough for us to be able to share the stuff with them while still having enough for ourselves." She explained to me as she continued to play the game on the computer with her mind, trying to gun down what seemed to be people in a war game. Keyboard and joystick inputs were being sent to the game without her actually touching either.

"That much? Oh my."

"Oh come on, we totally had that until you messed up, you moron!" She yelled at the screen loudly then realized I was still there. "Oh, sorry. Uh, did you need something?"

"Well I was thinking you could maybe start building some things. Back in the day we had the T Car and the T Sub. Robin had his motorcycle." I reminisced to myself, closing my eyes.

"Oh I totally get what you mean. I have Cyborg's schematics right here." The screen changed to display the schematics for the vehicles. "You think it would be a good idea to build vehicles?"

"Yes, you would be able to do that, correct?" I asked her, looking at the old schematics with nostalgia.

"I can get my team together and start work immediately." She said, beaming at the chance to build things.

"Thank you Tecna." I said as I was about to leave, but then had another idea. "Do you think you could make me some armor like my sister? Maybe make it change between being clothes and being armor? I am worried eventually just my clothes will not be enough."

"Sure, I can whip something up. Any preferences besides being able to change into armor?" The screen on The Database had changed to a three dimensional drawing program, and she had started to sketch out a design I already liked.

"Well I do like purple, and Emeralds." I said while looking over at what she was drawing.

"So basically when it's not armor you want it to be similar to what you have on now?" She asked, erasing some parts and starting them over, all without actually moving a finger.

"Yes."

"Oh I can do that. Heck, the art is near done now anyway." I watched as she colored it in purple, copied side by side to another design, brought up a reference picture of my sister's armor, and started to fill it in to be my armor.

"Thank you Tecna. You carry on with that then." I said as she ran off to make preparations and I waved goodbye as I headed to my next destination, passing through the Plaza toward the Residential area. On the way I passed by the Medbay.

I could hear feline shrieks and stuff being thrown in one of the rooms. There was a thud as Cat's head burst through the concrete wall. He snarled at me as he seemed to get forcibly pulled back into the room by the doctors trying to restrain him.

"Nothing to see here, Miss Starfire. Cat is going through some kind of withdrawal from the last battle and we need to contain him in his pain. He should be fine um, eventually." The voice of a male doctor was heard through the hole as Cat continued to rampage around the Medbay, shrieking and snarling in pain. Then the sounds died down. They'd probably caught him and gave him a sedative. I shrugged and continued on.

My next destination was to check on my little Bumgorf, Silkie. Nowadays I did not have much time to take care of him so he was taken care of in the Nursery with the human children. It seemed as good a place as any for him, considering he still refused to grow any bigger than a larva.

Arriving in the Nursery, the caretakers let me in and I went to the ward where newborn babies were taken care of before being returned to their mothers. Of course, Silike was here.

As I approached his crib he shuffled over to the edge and jumped in my arms. I hugged him and cooed at him. He hadn't grown at all and was still the same larva. I carried Silkie toward the Nursery food area, and procured a large basket of fruits and vegetables, and meat for him. Of course he usually liked to eat metal and rock, but considering we were underground, he would have to settle for the hyrdoponically grown fruits and vegetables.

"I will be taking Silkie out with me. I will return him later." I said to the aide in the Nursery as I walked out, heading toward the Training Arena. She scribbled notes down on her pad, probably noting that I had checked him out. Silkie was curled up comfortably around my neck, while I carried the basket of food in my right hand and Moth's card in my left.

Again I had to pass through the Plaza, but the Training Arena was in the same hall as the Hall of Knowlege. I passed by what seemed to be Calc after he had already mutated himself, now Susano, and Headache. They were admiring the holograms of past heroes. I waved to them and Silkie said his usual garbles in greeting as well as we passed by. "I will be going to the VR Training Room. If you two are interested, you are welcome to come with me. Either way I still recommend you two test your skills in the Training Arena against each other." I told them as I continued down the hall and entered the Training Arena.

Some members were sparring with each other in the Arena and they waved at me as I headed to the VR Room and closed the door behind me. Thankfully nobody else was using it.

Blackfire
Semi-Reformed Villain
Renegades HQ

Ninjice led me around the base by the arm, meeting some girl who handed him a lantern. It was a bit sudden, but from what I could understand we were going to look for somebody in the tunnels.

As we entered the tunnels he decided to talk a little. I was very bored anyway, and all I could think about was beating my sister at everything lately. Besides being with him and holding his right hand in my left, of course. "Nice? You call being in a dank and dark tunnel nice? That lantern really isn't doing it for me, and is barely lighting the place up. How about you put it away and I really light this place up?" I raised my right hand and focused my hate into a big purple ball of energy that put the light from the lantern to shame. It was about as big as what the Earthlings call a Basketball. I held the blackbolt in my hand as we walked through the tunnel.

(OOC: Refer to these pics for reference on how Star will look later:

Ninjice
Hero/Head of Espionage
Underground Caverns, Under Renegade HQ
Affected RPers: bronislav84, others who would be involved.

Ninjice observed his girlfriend dismiss the lantern he recieved before making a much larger light source. He smiled and nodded in approval. "That's very impressive. You clearly show a great deal of power and control," he complimented her before they continued through the caverns. Ninjice had these carved out in an attempt to find Nightwing, but no such luck.

Ninjice then looked at Blackfire for a moment. He wanted to know more about her. Granted, it was obvious what her motivations were. Kill her sister and then possibly rule over her planet and maybe take over a few worlds. But why? He doubted that it could be just for kicks. There was something else. Something deeper. Call it intution. He just had to figure out how to ask her this without her hitting him.

Then again, she was a tsundere. Ninjice mentally sighed as he braced his body for any of her tough-love displays of affections.

"Blackie, I want to know more about you. To that end, I want to know what you want to do in life. I know you have your goals of killing Star ad ruling your homeworld, but then what? Why do you want to rule over something? What satisfcation does it give you or rather what is it that you really that?" Ninjice told her as they went deeper into the catacombs.

Meanwhile, back on the HQ, someone was called in to examine Cat. He was Dr. Witch. A medical prodigy, he combined what he learned from medical school along with the practices of being a witch doctor with a tad of sorcery to become Dr. Witch. He specializes in supernatural ailments. He brings his masks to examine Cat.

"Oh my. It appears Cat has been afflicted with a sort of poison of the soul. From the traces of dark magic, it is likely the work of Malchior. We still have a chance to save him," Dr. Witch told the others before he began giving instructions in what to do.

[Samantha Sparks]

OoC: the spell can be delayed by interrupting Kotamae, although Titania will protect him. With Randomiser, no one knows what's next, although some may know how to deal with that.
Kotamae can withstand the mass assault, but his human half won't be able to handle it for that long.

Kotamae Furukawa/Silence Dogood and Titania
Hero
Laboratory, Civic Centre
Affected RPers: Avenger Angel, MugoUrth
Spell Progress: 10/50

The alarm sounded as Silence Dogood and Titania attempted to phase once more, but failed. So much for Silence Dogood line also being known as the 'Twilight Ghost'.
"Can't let you do that, Kotamae and Titania," a voice laughed on the loud speaker. "Attempt that phasing power of yours again, and your minds... will become mine! And yes, I know your names, and everything you've done. It is time to show you what we do to intruders!"
Silence Dogood was rather astonished. This was no good, no good at all. Silence Dogood then proceeded to activate a black-and white blaze-like barrier against the far-ranged attacks. While he took the same amount of damage, the pain and pressure was weakened. He then projected a ray which consisted of light and electricity back at Gizmo and Atlus, although taking a side-hit along with Titania by Mammoth being rammed to a wall.

Titania was then assaulted by numerous clones of an odd self-replicator known as Billy Numerous. She knew the plan. She had to protect her master. "Randomiser..." she muttered under her breath. This time, she transformed into an eight-headed serpentine being with four legs and eight tails. The creature was three quarters the height of the ceiling. The Yamata-no-Orochi.

With the ongoing assault of Billy Numerous, Titania's new form used one of its heads to fire a breath of fire onto the numerous clones, while the other heads fired other elements - mud, electricity, boiling water, darkness, light, strong hurricane-tier wind and ice, all at the different villains. Meanwhile, Silence Dogood revealed his eyepatch-covered gold demon eye and activated an attack to temporarily disable the stare-based abilities of the eyeblades, allowing him to move at regular speed again, with the blade slightly cutting his face and and the other being caught by his hands, which caused them to bleed. "Ow," Kotamae muttered as he flung the blade away at the direction of some random villain.

While Titania stalled for him, Silence Dogood began to spread the Twilight Wings from his back, before meditating and chanting, "Oo ga faye you fa ku yu ma ta ga..."

Silence Dogood couldn't take that many hits, which was why Titania was going to protect him until the spell is done. The question is - can Silence Dogood actually finish the spell before Titania goes down?

Gameboy

Affected RPers: codi kenhai, bronislav,

Gameboy revved the motorcycle and sped back to base. He transformed back into his silver outfit and Biffalo returned to his natural form of a Kokiri fairy once they were at the entrance. He turned to Ace and said: "I'm gonna have to ask you to stay here. We can't let anyone in without getting scanned first so I will send someone out for you. If you need anything once you are inside come and find me. Everyone knows where my room is because I collect a lot of things people need and if I'm not there I'll be at the datacenter." He waved with a smile and limped inside the base.

He made his way over to the medical bay and had his foot healed. Gameboy headed toward the datacenter smiling at the feeling of being home. Biffalo went back to Gameboy's room. He sent a quick message to Starfire telling her about Ace waiting outside and that he was back and would be at the datacenter if she needed anything. He noticed Tecna working with what looked like Starfire's clothes on a computer. He walked over to her to say hi.

"Hi Tecna." He said shyly "I was wondering if you needed help with anything." He had a small blush on his face because he was nervous with new things, such as talking to girls he liked.

We finally made it to the Renegades base where Gameboy turned back to normal, as did his partner. He explained to me that I needed to stay outside until I was scanned. My guess was to make sure I wasn't a spy sent by the villians.

"That's fine. I understand." I said as he told me that if I needed anything to go and find him in the base. He then waved and limped his way inside. "I guess I'll take a short nap while I wait." I said getting more comfortable in the sidecar and promptly fell asleep.

Mirage and I chased those two punks all the way down to the laboratory, and man, I could have laughed. Those two shrimps were being bombarded like there was no tomorrow. And ha ha, both of them were trapped like rats! Trying to run into Blood's psychic barriers was going to warp their pea-brains like a scrambled egg, ha ha!

The Titania girl managed to turn into some butt-ugly hydra freak creature with eight heads and a whole lot of tails. Man, this was going to be fun! I like it when they try to squirm their way out of being beaten to a pulp! I was going to beat these two clowns like a red-headed stepchild.

The hydra incinerated a number of Billy's clones, but she obviously didn't know Billy. The hydra then used every head available to launch a number of different elemental attacks at all the villains in the lab, but Billy had a clone jump in the way of every single one of them, which instantly vaporized the clones, but negated the attacks after they had made their impacts.

The other wimp, Kotamae, tried to attack Gizmo and Atlas with a thunder beam, which damaged Atlas a bit and sent Gizmo flying. The kid hit the back wall, but after getting back up, he swore revenge.

"Oh, you're going to pay for that!" Gizmo taunted. "We'll see how funny you think it is when your brain is stuffed up your butt, you snot-nugget!"

The gothic-dressed punk started chanting some magic spell. Yeah, great idea when you're getting attacked by a whole room full of angry villains. After stabilizing himself from the thunder ray, Atlas fired a single, massive plasma blast from a mounted arm cannon. Meanwhile, Gizmo fired a Sonic Boomerang charged with electricity right at Kotamae.

Mammoth charged toward the fire head of the hydra, and slammed the neck hard with his fists, stunning the neck. Cheshire leapt across the room and then used her claws to violently slash open the throat of the ice head, spilling a nice amount of blood and guts all over the place.

Control Freak's summoned T-1000 then charged toward the hydra and turned both of its arms into massive cleavers. He then dug his arm blades into the shadow head right at the neck, nicely slicing the throat apart, spilling even more blood around. Meanwhile, the summoned Decepticon, Starscream, fired a series of cluster bombs at the light head of the hydra, sending beefy chunks of blood and gore in all directions after they exploded. Seeing that was pretty satisfying. The whole lab was being turned into a great bloodbath, ha ha!

Control Freak then used his remote on a vat of sulfuric acid, which then leapt out of the vat and took on the shape of a humanoid figure.

"Burn that butt-ugly snake from the inside-out, and make her die a screaming death!" Control Freak laughed. "Show her what happens to those stupid enough to anger us!"

The humanoid sulfuric acid figure jumped into the open mouth of the stunned fire head that Mammoth had slammed earlier. Moments later, the sulfuric acid traveled down the throat of the hydra, rapidly burning the living tissue along the way before burning away at the hydra's innards. I figured that hydra girl was as seriously good as dead, and in a whole world of pain right now!

Doctor Light and I charged toward that Kotamae punk, intending on beating the royal stuffing out of him. Doctor Light launched a beam of blinding light into Kotamae's eyes while I readied my metallic power fist and then sent it flying into Kotamae's stomach.

Sure wasn't gonna be much of talker once this fist crashed down his ribcage, ha ha!

Malchior
Villain
Portola Drive, Twin Peaks, Lake Merced
Affected RPers: N/A

Drache, Angel, and I had been on the hunt for the Diamite fragments left behind by Shade once it had been reported that her repulsive remains had been washed away from a recent rainstorm. As I had heard from Brother Blood, an insolent duo of intruders had stolen the plans and blueprints from several of the Brotherhood's projects. To me, those incompetent fools could have done far better than to rely on idiot mutant rats and unreliable contraptions. But of course, those misguided mongrels didn't know what it was like to have the kinds of power I had at my disposal. In a way, their paralyzing ignorance was marginally excusable.

I decided now was the time to find a suitable substitute for their plans while they were occupied in exterminating those two interlopers. I didn't count on them being able to recover their plans. In fact, I was truly hoping they wouldn't.

"So far, we have roughly three hundred pounds of Diamite," Drache observed as he carried several sacs worth of the unearthly metal on his dragon back. "However, there should be much more to find."

"What are we planning on doing with it?" Angel asked Drache, foolishly thinking he actually had a competent answer.

"We haven't decided," Drache told her. "The objective is to secure as much of it as possible at least to prevent the Neo-Titans from getting at it. The last thing we need is a Shade among their ranks."

Indeed, that would be quite the irritant. However, wasting it on rats would be a mindless shame. They had better not waste the time and effort to revive that foolish project, because I would personally slaughter every last mutant rat out of spite.

"I have a better plan," I told the two of them, knowing it was time to show these idiot Titans what I was capable of. "Dragonspell."

"What is-?" Angel asked before being interrupted.

"You can't," Drache warned me. "The repercussions of that are-"

"Shut up, you fool," I spat at him. "You are so slow to learn. The people of this world already know that dragonkin are real. Dragonspell is simply taking advantage of the situation. And for me, it's easy."

I plucked out the most easily found and obvious street thug I could on the ground, wearing dark leather and brandishing a pistol. He was one of thousands in Dark City... one of many potential candidates for my army. I landed on the ground before him, followed by Angel and Drache.

"You..." The thug stated, looking up at my majestic draconic presence. "Yeah, we got the word. We've been lookin' for that Diamite Brother Blood asked for. Malchior's the name, right? Name's Pete."

"Not anymore," I told him, beginning the Dragonspell. "I christen you Saroxis. Taste... ascension."

Drache and Angel watched as the street thug was surrounded by a shrouding, black, smoky presence. And before the two of them, he transformed from human into a wyvern, with his shape and form becoming more draconic, his hands becoming claws, large bat-like wings shooting out of his back, his body becoming covered with rock-hard scales, and his neck growing outward while his head was reformed to that of a dragon. In only a few short seconds, the ascension was complete, and Saroxis was in rapture in admiration of his new and more powerful form.

"This..." He spoke in awe, admiring his new form. "Yes... YES!!"

"I am your master now," I told Saroxis. "Heed my command, and you will savor strength and triumph. Soon, there will be more of us. Many... many more of us."

Until the sun and skies are blotted out with the swarms of dragons, and all life will bow and obey...

Titania's new form started to hiss in pain.
Titania knew they wouldn't make it, but she still fought on. From her Yamata-no-Orochi form, she turned back after muttering another "Randomiser...".
Nothing else seemed to happen. Nothing at all.
"Oo la so da-" Silence Dogood paused his spell as three of the vials he had previously stolen appeared in her hands, along with four grenades. After throwing one grenade at a charging Mammoth.
Titania proceeded to cause one of the vials to slightly boil, before her eyes glowed a bloody red. She had now temporarily acquired the physiology of a Kryptonite, and her red eyes were ready to fire strong laserbeams at an oncoming metallic fist that attempted to strike Silence Dogood. While doing so, she managed to uproot a few desks to throw at the foes, followed by grabbing a couple test tubes of solid lithium and water before throwing the desk they belonged to. Silence Dogood indeed did take damage, being pushed aside by the boomerang, which also interrupted her spell before allowing him to continue.

"... da ga bra tai..."

How they survived this long is minorly believable. How they were going to win - were they even intending to?

Affected RPers: Avenger Angel (Johnny Rotten)/Samantha Sparks

Mirage noticed the eye had no effect on Silence Dogood, and decided to turn it into another blade. The blade that was flung at one of the villains quickly flew around, dodging whatever it was flying into. Eventually the two blade wings flew over to Mirage and started to spin in the air before landing in her claws.

"Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm," she started, snigering at the pain Silence was in. "You should have been a little pest. I don't want to kill you, but..." Eventually she looked at the other villians. One in particular, Gizmo. She overheard "Oh, you're going to pay for that! We'll see how funny you think it is when your brain is stuffed up your butt, you snot-nugget!"

Mirage glanced over at Johnny in slight disgust. "Uhhh... he doesn't always talk like that, does he?" she asked. Eventually she shook her head. "Nevermind, if you want your life, you two better return every thing you stole and leave. Don't even think of showing your face again." Really, Mirage didn't want to kill her. She felt a good sense of power knowing she was threatening, but she felt that murder might take things too far.

OoC: Well, bron had a minor chat with me and I also felt that his idea was less godmoddy than my others. I could take one villain with me so that he/she and Kotamae could hang out, but I think I took too much. So I guess I'll give back a little stuff, and one thing of my own.

Kotamae Furukawa/Silence Dogood and Titania
Hero
Laboratory, Civic Centre ----> Kotamae's Pocket Dimension, Stiltonian Realm
Affected RPers: Avenger Angel, MugoUrth

Silence then glanced at the battlefield. Titania was beginning to sway side to side. Silence Dogood's first part of the spell was almost done. He could still pull off a different spell with great speed, using the same words. Silence Dogood then chanted for a while more, before he and Titania began to burn into black-and-white flames. Before that, Silence Dogood spoke, "some of you are good people guided by the wrong path. Remember, there is always light in-"

With that, Silence Dogood and his familiar had disappeared into flames. However, they left (unintentionally) left something behind while fleeing - a blueprint which was apparently used to build 'Wrexzilla Prototype' or something, four vial of Sylph, Undine, Salamander and Gnome DNA, and something that presumably never belonged to the villains in the first place - a gold hued, heart-shaped geometrical object, whatever that could do, or be.

And a few grenades that were going to detonate real soon. That was probably intentional. Probably.

----

"Titania! Titania! Wake up!"
Kotamae now stood before Titania. Titania was covered with nothing but a blanket.
"Ma- master, what did you-"
"You were like that all the time."
"I'm just kidding," Titania smiled and blushed, before grabbing her Russian-themed clothes.

"But really, I was examining you. Just in case. You are in no condition to fight, and neither am I."
Titania's face turned red. But let's skip all the lewd parts and get to the point...

"This is my Pocket Dimension," Kotamae spoke as he opened a door that lead to an endless space, filled with many things, mainly weapons. The room they were in had his three main outfits, too.

A couple of soldiers, in their briefs, hovered towards the door. "Mercy! Mercy!"
Kotamae almost forgot. "Alright guys, you're free to go..."

"Really?" the soldiers spoke in unison, while Kotamae nodded his head, following that, the soldiers climbed a ladder that was supposedly the exit, before screaming and climbing back down after a couple minutes.

"Are you sure this place is safe, Kotamae," Titania questioned.
"To us, yes. To non-Stiltons, no. Have a little look..."

Kotamae and Titania climbed up the ladder, leading to an endless 'neighbourhood' of cubes with several emblems on them, Kotamae's marked with a white fox with a rainbow flame behind it.

"Welcome to the Stiltonian Realm, a pocket dimension created by my ancestor, Benjamin Franklin Stilton, before he was banished from the family. Back in those days, family tradition was strict and such. This guy secretly learnt Twilight Magic, which was non allowed as it was considered 'elemental' and 'impure'. Today, the Stiltons focus on variety, which was proven to be quite effective, although we are still most skilled in the art of non-elemental attacks."

"So," Titania was shocked, "a pocket dimension, within a pocket dimension?"

"Not really," Kotamae smiled, "every one of these cubes is a pocket dimension for my whole bloodline, in which they can access their equipment through summoning." Kotamae then pointed to a small group of giant, worm-like beasts than that multiple eyes on the sides of their bodies. They looked like something that came out of an installment of the Cthulu Mythos. "Those are Stiltonian Serpents, guardians of the Stiltonian realm. No one knows who made them, or how. These creatures feed on non-Stilton intruders."

One of the worms flew past them, looking at them without doing anything else.

"See? Harmless to us. Now why not you look around while I get back into my dimension and activate my intended spell..."

Titania nodded.

OoC: The golden heart-shaped thing, the Heart of Gold, is a piece of technology that solely runs on mana. It can only be powered by mana and mana alone. When connected to a magic-based machine, it gives it sentience and independence. It can be reverse-engineered, but the materials such as gold and diamond are difficult to obtain(supposedly).
Tl;dr The gold heart acquired by the villains runs on mana, can only be used by magic-tech and gives these machines sentience.

Also, my next four posts will be Yoko antics, since Kotamae will take quite a while to communicate with the Neo-Titans.

"Ellie is a lot like the one called Detour. We can control out body with our mind, but some changes take longer than others. In the last battle when I turned giant, that took about 10 minutes to do. I wonder, what was... err." Headache was just starting to notice her legs. "Let me separate, first."

After separating, Lesley continued her speech. "What were Izu and Detour like? What were their powers? Were they similar to ours? What were your relationship with each other? I really want to know."

Susano bit his tongue, trying to think of what to say. "Well...she's nice for one...she had a lot of intelligence, and she was a tough one, punched me in the gut once. She loved animals, nothing was better than them to her..." he began to mention, but got a little quiet. "Well, she loved music to, her favorite was a Japanese singer by the name of Musica. He was a bit of an annoying one to me, though I think I was just jelous..." he muttered, and shook his head.

"Sorry, a bit of remembrance from the North Tower. Detour's powers were that she could...'influence' her opponents by giving them mental stimuli. For example, she could make herself appear bigger to a bear, thus making it more docial through it's mind. It's a bit complicated. Her tapir had to attach to her through the same way yours does; via the hair, though her's could combine with other people. We were attacked by a clone of her once, and in order to prove her innocance, she had her tapir combine with me." Susano continues to explain, but shivers a little. "I'm going to be honest, I'm not a big fan of it. As a Baku, her tapir couldn't allow her to harm others because of her tapir's...unique genes. I believe it was a Y A N G sequence, though Izu told me only once."

Susano took a deep breath, before thinking about how to describe what his relationship with Izu was. "...um...we dated once, and it didn't...work out for the best...so we're just friends..." he said carefully, trying to not give up too much. He was a douche to Izu in the past, and while they made up back in the North Tower's third run, he still felt incredible bad for what he did to her, and he doubted Lesley would be charmed to hear about it.

Thankfully, Starfire came by, and waved, with the larva in her arms. Susano waved back, nodding to the little larva. "I will be going to the VR Training Room. If you two are interested, you are welcome to come with me. Either way I still recommend you two test your skills in the Training Arena against each other." Starfire suggested. Susano shivered a little, and looked at Lesley.

"Up for a little training, Lesley?" He asked politely. Fighting a Baku reminded him of that fight with the clone, and the result to Izu from that.

"Hmmm... I should've said that 'Bin apatoot' thing. I should really learn German. Or was it french? I have been away for a long time."

"Ah yes, lovely. I'm back here. I can almost smell something familiar..." the Yoko spoke as his minions nodded in unison.
The Yoko was familiar with this scent. It was the scent of that unholy union of human and fox, the worst possible thing the Yoko could think of. The Yoko proceeded to dash forward, before the scent disappeared.
"Huh? Odd. Maybe he teleported or something. That is the only way his scent can disappear that suddenly when we were just getting closer..."
The Yoko just waltzed into the main entrance, expecting to be greeted. "Hmmm... I wonder where everyone is."

Knowing that the villains weren't the type to tolerate a person or fox who just waltzed in without saying a word, the Yoko stepped back, just outside the entrance. Reeks of humans, he thought as he spoke, "Hello?"

Starfire

Renegades HQ, VR Training Room
Affected RPers: N/A

I closed the door behind me and the VR Room hummed, turning on. As I was about to start, I got a message from Gameboy that he was back with the new recuit. "Why are you telling me this? You should bring him to the Datacenter for Tecna to scan him." I sent the reply. I put Silkie in a secure pet carrier-like container nearby so he could watch while being completely safe.

"Computer, run training program 'Blackfire fight', Danger Level 6." I spoke the voice command as the blackness of the room changed to blue force fields then the holograms turned on and created a meadow field with lots of rocks and logs for us to fight amongst.

"Danger levels above 5 present real danger and the damage you sustain will be real. Do you still wish to proceed?" Asked a disembodied female computer voice.

"Yes, I do. Run program." I said to the computer as a hologram of my sister appeared in front of me.

She waved her hand at me, signaling that I could make the first move. "Come at me."

I was all to ready to oblige, and focused my anger on flying. With my flight activating off anger and my Starbolts activating off hate right now, it was easy to get into right moods. I flew at her, shooting a volley of Starbolts.

She responded by shooting her own Blackbolts to cancel out the attack and the fight was on as we took to the air.

Tecna

Affected RPers: bigg

Tecna was multitasking, making the outfit for Starfire while also playing a multiplayer strategy game. A sensor alerted her to a visitor to the Datacenter. As they walked in, she yelled loudly at the screen. "You imbecile, that cost us the match!" The microphone conveyed her words to the 3 other people in the match. She then logged off and shut the game down in frustration.

"Hi Tecna. I was wondering if you needed help with anything." It was Gameboy. Of course. She swiveled the lounge chair around to face him.

"Well I was playing a game online, but that idiot Benny cost us the entire match by activating a power that damaged friend and foe alike. We were low on resources and he killed almost our entire army. This was make or break and we could have beaten our opponents, but he just had to do that." She said, getting up and adjusting her hair nervously. She was avoiding eye contact. On the screen she was finishing up the designs for the armor.

"As for helping me, how are you with your hands and following directions? I still need to get work done on the vehicles Star asked me to make, but the design for this armor that can turn into clothes is pretty much done. Some of the work is automated by our assembly line, and we could use more quality control and test drivers. Take your pick." She explained, finishing the 3D computerized blueprint and putting a big 'Finished' icon on it. "What do you think of it?" She motioned to the image on the gigantic 80 inch 3D screen.

She then looked around and behind him. "Um, weren't you going to bring the new recruit here to be scanned?"

He called me Blackie. "Are we on a pet name basis now?! Not that I don't like it, but you didn't ask permission is all." I thought for a moment about the question.

“Well, I was the first princess born in over a hundred years, so normally I would have been courted and showered with honors,” I began to expain. “However, on the day of my birth, the Citadel Empire attacked and destroyed the western Tamaranean city of Kysarr and killed three thousand citizens… in MY name, dooming me to forever be linked to that day,” I said, crossing my arms.

“It wasn't just that though. My subjects hated me because I was different from my family. While the rest of my family and the Tamarans in general are pretty cheery and content, I was described as having a ‘rather grim disposition,’ and being rather ‘dark,’ so the servants didn’t like me and I didn’t get along with others. Because of all of this, I was denied my birthright to be the next Princess of Tamaran… to maintain the respect and prestige of the royal family. Instead, my privileges, honors, and my royal style and dignity were transferred to my… little sister, Starfire,” I explained to him as went continued, hissing as I said my sister’s name.

"It's revenge," I summed up for him. "Because of her, I have nothing but my hate for her and that is my power," I finished as we continued walking in the purple lighting.

Those punks were just a lick away from being burnt into a crisp when that Kotamae freak used some kind of spell before the two of them were smothered with black and white fire, saying stupid about being guided by a wrong path" or whatever. Psh, who needed losers like them to try and give us advice?

They left some stuff behind, and I was the first on the scene to pick it up. Blueprints, vials of stuff, and some gold heart thing. Probably a stupid piece of jewelry. I picked up the vials and blueprints, but then noticed they dropped a couple of grenades. And they were primed to blow.

"Back off!" I shouted, telling the others to back away from the area before they got their faces blown off.

The grenades wiped out a good portion of the lab, busting apart a few desks, lab tables, and whatever that gold heart thing was. Still, there was no sign of those two losers.

"Cowards," Doctor Light spat. "Serves them right for being stupid enough to come here."

Well, as for Mirage, she seemed good enough. Sure, she didn't bag those two losers, but those two-bit punks were nothing more than a sneaky pain in the crotch.

"I do say, excellent performance, Mirage," Brother Blood spoke on the loudspeaker. "You've proven yourself well, even if you were not able to catch the enemy due to their rather reprehensible tactics. But there will come a time and place for their annihilation. But as for you, Mirage, I personally welcome you to the Brotherhood."

Heh, she was going to like it here. There was nothing like stepping on the heads of the little squirts to be on top, heh heh.

"Now then, I believe we have other matters to attend to," Blood told us. "Those Neo-Titans and their sympathizers are out collecting the Diamite. We need everyone to either collect it before they do, or 'relieve' them of the possessions. Personally, I'm sure most of you would enjoy the later option, but time is of the essence."

Which meant if we wanted to wreck the days, we needed to get moving. And frankly, I wanted to be wasting punks and losers, stealing their Diamite, and rubbing it in their faces rather than being stuck here cleaning up this mess.

"Let's go, Mirage," I told her, figuring she would enjoy this next task. "Time to lay waste to some of those freaks and losers getting their greasy, nasty hands on our Diamite."

I didn't know about her, but I was ready to roll out anytime.

Slade

My compatriots had dealt with the two intruders, and although they had not fully annihilated them as I would have preferred, they were no longer and threat and now knew better than to come here again.

The Diamite left behind by Shade was falling under the scrutiny of the Neo-Titans, and while we had no current use for the material that backfired upon Shade, allowing them to secure it was unacceptable.

"Slade," Brother Blood told me, coming upon a realization. "There is someone at the main entrance. It appears to be Yoko, the criminal agent we had attempted to rendezvous with earlier."

"Excellent," I told him. "For now, keep the Brotherhood focused on the retrieving the Diamite. We may be able to destroy a number of the Neo-Titans using the Diamite as a distraction."

I had soon arrived at the entrance, where Yoko had been waiting. The powerful kitsune would prove to be a valuable ally, especially having proven himself in combat before. I felt there was no need to run an initiation examination in this case. We had already seen he was fully capable of fighting the opposition's forces completely by himself.

"Hello?" He asked, searching for a response.

"I've been expecting you, Yoko," I told him, appearing from behind the shadows. "You couldn't have arrived at a more opportune time."

I knew what Yoko wanted. Looking upon him made it clear he was to be deployed as a warrior, a vicious force of nature that struck relentlessly. Those hungers and longing for combat would be easily satisfied.

"As the number of supporters for the Neo-Titans seems to grow, we need capable warriors like yourself to eliminate them," I told Yoko. "After assessing your combat strengths, abilities, and powers, my compatriots and myself see you're obviously quite skilled and can prove yourself to be a reliable asset to have in the Brotherhood."

"The offer to join the Brotherhood is yours, if you wish to take it," I told him, extending my hand. "Join us, and secure your share in the new empire that is to come."

And no one would be left to stand in our way of that objective.

Drache
Villain
Portola Drive, Twin Peaks, Lake Merced
Affected RPers: N/A

Malchior's guile choice to employ the use of Dragonspell was unexpected at first, but judging by his demeanor, it should have come as no surprise he was willing to break an age-old code to keep the dragonkin secret with intentions to assemble his own army of dragonkin for whatever dark purpose that seemed to extend well beyond the Brotherhood's intentions.

It began with a young thug named Pete, transformed into the black wyvern known as Saroxis. Seeing the thug become a smaller dragon was of no surprise to me, but to Angel, the transformation was alarming and was something she neither expected nor thought was possible. And Saroxis himself seemed completely obedient to Malchior, following the larger dragon like he was his own personal bodyguard.

Malchior seemed more intent on finding potential candidates for Dragonspell transformations as opposed to locating the Diamite. Angel herself looked at me with a touch of concern, and even I didn't know how to respond to Malchior's sudden change in behavior.

We found one of the gang lieutenants, Sandra of the "Nightlash" gang, accompanied by four other gang members that were equipped with machine pistols and semi-automatic hand guns. This lieutenant had already found at least thirty pounds of Diamite, respectful of the fact the Brotherhood wanted her to retrieve it, not use it for herself. It seemed as though while the gangs of this town knew the Diamite possessed great power, it was capable of backfiring as Shade had demonstrated. It seemed Shade's macabre death was the cause of them to be extremely cautious with how they retrieved and used the Diamite.

Sandra herself was a young girl in her late twenties, with short brunette hair, a tough attitude, and wore a black tank top accompanied by leather pants and black combat boots. She had been keeping a Galil rifle in her hands. When Malchior had arrived, she was more than happy to greet the dark dragon, having no idea what was in store for her...

"We got the goods," Sandra told him, tossing him the bag full of Diamite. "About thirty pounds worth. Haven't run into any of those Titan punks or whatever, except for one chump who had been walking around with about three pounds worth of the stuff, but we hung out with him for three minutes, we came close to running out of places to put more holes in him."

"Ha ha, he was quite the little squealer," One of her subordinates laughed. "The way he looked after I shot him in the head made it looked like he crapped his pants!"

"Anyway, no sign of the Titans yet," She continued. "Either they don't know about Shade's carcass washing away or they're damn slow to the party."

Malchior hadn't even given the girl two seconds of insight as to what he was doing when he suddenly started casting Dragonspell on her again. She was suddenly alarmed, thinking she was being betrayed by Malchior when she too, had undergone the transformation from a normal, human girl to become a vicious and powerful wyvern similar to Saroxis, who had been watching the transformation with anticipation. She was speechless at first, but then when the transformation was complete, she stood there, amazed and in rapture at her new draconic power.

"This...!" She exclaimed, excited. "How... how did you do that!? This is... awesome!"

"You will be called Daraxi from this day forth," He told her, urging her to join his side. "I am your master now. Heed my command, and you will savor strength and triumph. Soon, there will be more of us."

And that marked Malchior's second wyvern bodyguard, who seemed all too eager to accompany him and whatever dark plot he had planned.

Mirage looked on as she saw the two disappear. They left behind some of the blue-prints, though, but they exploded more of the building. Still, the other members seemed to have accepted Mirage as a member. So that was good.

"My pleasure," she said before taking a slight bow in the others presence. "Before I do anything else, I have to ask. Does anyone remember Detour? A creature like ourself except their powers differ slightly. Well, I am doing research on these mystical beings, and I was hoping to use your computers to find out more. After all, I hear the computers here have information you cannot find anywhere else.

Mirage took another bow. "I wish to searve the group in exchange for the use of your data-base. I promise I will even continue to serve even when I am done with my research. After all, doing crime is just more fun than doing good."

"Ooh, Training center?" Lesley asked. "I could use some training. Sure, I'll spar with you. Come on, Ellie." Lesley put Ellie on her back again and they transformed. They eventually followed Starfire to the training room.

Eventually, they got there and were slightly dumbfounded by what they saw. "I'll bet you can do more here than spar," Headache asked to whoever knew the answer. "I wonder what this place has got." Headache didn't know what else to say.

Affected RPers: bronislav84

Ninjice looked at Blackfire and was surprised at her hesitation. He waited for her to say something. When she finally said something, he sighed before he got ready to speak to her. He braced himself for any potential pain.

"So you wanted to hurt Starfire because she was given everything that belonged to you, including ruling your world. However, you were officially banished from there and forced to live on the swamp moon with the one who you tried to wed Star off to. You then ended up married with the thing and had kids with it. To be honest, I have no clue how you arrived back here, seeing as the thing would need someone to raise his brood," Ninjice began explaining.

"The point it that you are still banished. We both know that Galfore would not surrender the crown. If you somehow took it from him, the people wouldn't accept you. Even if you do kill Starfire, you have nowhere else to turn to except the Citadel and from what I heard, the Green Lantern Corps are probably going to end them for good. All you have now is the hate for your sister, but if you kill hill her, what would you have?" Ninjice continued before going to his final question.

"What is it that you want truly, Blackfire?"

Ninjice then felt something in the air. It was traces of magic. Ninjice was surprised. "I sense traces of magic. Come on," Ninjice said as he continued until he saw an end of a tunnel. Ninjice created a rather complex ice item; it was the drill Simon and the other diggers used. He grabbed it with one hand and began spinning with other as he continued digging the tunnel, using his senses to track the magic until he hit something. Using the drill, he opened the tunnel up to see a large door with runes on it. It was like a massive bank vault door. He saw there was a large room for a key.

He channeled ice to create the key and turned it before opening the door.

He saw it was a massive shop belonging to that of a blacksmith. The blacksmith himself resembles a large muscular dwarf. He has white hair and tanned skin. He had on traditional blacksmith clothing along with some smelting goggles. He reminded Ninjice of the Goron Darunia from Oracle of Time. He had a large hammer that had plenty of runes on it. Beyond that there was a forge with strange-colored fire in it, a partner furnace, piles of scrap metal, some books, a set to etch runes on things and examples of enchanted arcane weapony.

"Halt, who goes there?" said the wizened blacksmith.

"My name is Ninjice and this is my girlfriend Blackfire," Ninjice said.

"Why have you entered here? I hid myself from the city of madness above," the blacksmith statess.

Ninjice then explains that they are trying to reclaimn their city from the villains as well talking about a few. When dragons were mentioned, the man looked intrigued.

"Dragons you say? Say no more, child. To help slay dragons is an honor among my kind. I will join your team. Give a bit of time to pack everything," he said as he led them out of the vault before he inserted his hammer into a slot in the center of the room and turned it as large runes crawled all over the room. Everything seem to fold into a large cube which he carried on his shoulder and followed them through the tunnel back to HQ. Around partially through the tunnel, Ninjice realized two things:

A- Blackfire had not responded to him

B- They didn't ask the smith's name

"By the way, what is your name" Ninjice asked, breaking the silence.

"My name is Grendel," Grendel stated to them.

"Ah Slade, glad to see you again..." the Yoko let out his paw and shook Slade's hand as it reached out to him. "I willingly accept."
The Yoko then smiled. "By the way, I managed to detect a faint whiff of a little fox cub here, and a creature from Shinto mythology that looks like this."
The Yoko's crow-like minion gave him some ancient drawing of an eight-headed serpentine beast.
"I know there was an infiltration, and you can always count on me to detect them."

Despite there being little to no gravity in the realm, Titania managed to keep her feet on whatever ground there was while she walked around the place. She looked into the blue-purple-orange sky, to see a few metallic turtles with head and flippers detached from shell.
She then came across a whole flock of cages, with the worm-like guardians of the realm circling it.
She hovered towards the flock of cages and noted the poor prisoners. What happened? Who could've done that?
She released one of them by placing her palm on a lock, unlocking the cage door, setting the prisoner free before it was consumed whole by the serpentine, or rather, worm-like guardians.

"I wonder if Kotamae is even aware of this."

"Man I gotta stop sitting around for long periods of time." I said to myself as I stretched out my arms. "I'm gonna go walk around a bit." I told Tecna as I headed out of the datacenter and began to walk around the base. After getting the blood rushing back to my legs and feet, I headed over towards the kitchen area and grabbed a water bottle from the fridge.

As I headed back to the Datacenter, I noticed Tecna raging about losing a multiplayer game she had been playin and talking to the young man we in the base knew as Gameboy. The two were discussing a new outfit/armor Starfire had asked to be made for her and some plans for the old vehicles the Teen Titans had before all hell broke out here. As the two chatted, I took the liberty of calling up the blueprints on the screen, quickly made copies of the files so and sent them over to my personal, 30 inch desktop so as to not disturb Tecna's progress on Starfire's armor. I then looked through a current map of Dark City to try and figure out the best places still around her where we could find the appropriate supplies to build the vehicles.
