Batman Beyond RPG (Continued in Part 2)

[Inque]

Hey all,

This thread will be for the Batman Beyond RPG. To start things off, let's pick characters.

I pick Inque!


Just reply with your character pick, and once we get some characters, I'll post a message on how the actual rpg is going to get run.

[Shriek]

I want to Batman. Good ole Terry McGinnis.

[Bird Boy]

I was Willie Watt in the old RPG, and I'll still be him this one.. :)

-BB

[Inque]

here's another recap!

Inque - Inque
Shriek - Terry McGinnis
Bird Boy - Willie Watt

just 2 more people!

[Mr. Obsession]

I call Stalker!


I just don't know how often I'll be able to participate.

[Eve]

I would like to be Ten

[Shriek]

We can start. Inque are you going to do a demo of how this RP is going to be like?

[Bird Boy]

How many villians is their going to be in this RPG anyway? We have enough to be one..and what about Bruce? Who's going to be Bruce? I can be Bruce also. is that possible? lol

-BB

[Inque]

recap of the characters:

Inque - Inque
Shriek - Terry McGinnis
Bird Boy - Willie Watt and Brucewayne
Mr. Obssesion - Stalker
Eve - Ten

some general rules:

1)it's not really turned based, people can post whenever they want. the only times it would be turn-based if there were dialogue or fighting. if ya need an example take a look at the batman rpg over at www.gothamcityusa.com i admit that the rpg there is kinda slow and has few characters.
2) People can have up to 2 characters, 3 if they can really play ALL of the characters well.
3) Made up characters are allowed, but no "Mary Sues" as SilverKnight calls them. That means that they always can't be allpowerful, allknowing, etc.
4)Write in the FIRST person and in the PRESENT. You ARE the character and not some third party observer.

i guess we can have as many villians as we want as long as we don't do some huge villian take over and utter chaos.

[Inque]

WE'RE READY TO BEGIN!! Hey Shriek, since you're Terry Mcginnis, you can start us off!

[Shriek]

I stand alone on top of Gotham Towers. My mask is off and it is waving through the air. I look down into the Gotham Streets.
The suit is on and I as I stare down into the street I think about my father and how Powers took him from me. A small tear sheds from my eye and I quickly wipe it.

"This is so boring", I say to myself, "This week has gone by so slow. No thefts, robbery's, not even a phone call from Dana."

[Inque]

exactly!! just set it up so that other characters can come in.....

[Inque]

due to popular demand, j/k ---sort of, i'm making a "general rules" thread so we can clear up a lot of confusion in the rpgs

[Inque]

It hasn't been used here, but we're really not going to use the "tag" idea. It kinda leaves people out because only certain people can respond. It's going to be left open for other people to join in, unless there's some dialogue or fighting. And remember, not all of the action is happening in once spot, other characters can start something too.

[Mr. Obsession]

I stand in the middle of the alley, around me are some Jokerz. One lies next to a trash can sobbing, another cradles his broken arm. Two others are moaning as they start to come around.

"Pathetic."

At my feet lies one of them, dressed as a tribute to a man long gone. Oh how I long to have lived then. What kind of hunt would he have provided?

I take off down the alley. They were lucky tonight, tomorrow I may not feel so generous. At least they gave me a warm up. Now it's time to start the real hunt.

[Shriek]

I blast through the Gotham Night Sky. My dark red wings turning my black shadow into the figure every criminal FEARS! THE BAT

I hear a faint moan from a partially lit alley. I think to myself, "Finally something to do!" I swoop down into the alley doing a barell roll into the light.

"Ahh!! No please! We didn't do anything this time!," J-Man says to me. He is moaning and screaming in pain. Blood pooring down his face.

I glance around the alley seeing Jokerz near death. They look so harmless in this state. I almost feel sorry for the scum.

I grab J-Man by the collar and pull him up to my face. He screams in torture like he has seen a ghost. I squint my eyes in a fear striking way. I ask him one question, "Who did This?"

J-Man doesn't answer. I keep staring at him and finally after he coughs and blood pours out I begin to receive an answer.
"Strong he was. An indian dude. He practically slagged my whole gang. All I asked for was for some creds. And he took out a pole and creamed us all."

"Stalker!" I drop J-Man and place the call for help. "This is unit 4. I'm South bound behind Gotham Towers. I need an ambulance here in the double."

I gallantly extend my wings and blast off vertically into the night sky heading towards my home.

[Mr. Obsession]

The roof tops provide shadows, an almost perfect cover. I too understand the appeal the great bat spirt has for this urban jungle, though I prefer the real thing.

A siren rings out in the north and is heading my way. Police? No an ambulance. Perhaps someone has found my playmates.

Should I go back? No, the greater challenge would be to keep going forward. Besides, returning may provide the Batman the chance to become my hunter. That would never do.

I head east.

[Bird Boy]

I wait for McGinnis to turn on his CommLink again. He contacted me about Stalker and the beating he gave the Jokerz. Villians weren't nearly as nice in my day... they would have killed them..not just beaten them up. The last McGinnis said was "Wait..I think I see him now", then he shut off the commlink. I wonder what Stalker is up to now.

While I wait, I turn on the news. It seems Willie Watt has broken out of Juvie and is on the loose... I guess this week won't be as dull as the last.

The light on the bat-computer blinks, I flip the switch. It's McGinnis, guess he's reporting in...

I press the commlink in and say "McGinnis. Report. Did you find Stalker?"

[Shriek]

The huge Batmobile jerks low left as I turn the controls. I keep the beast flying low running the infared scope so I do not miss a thing.

"Slaggit!" "I can't find anything Wayne. I've covered most of the West side of Gotham. I'm at the pier now. If he wanted to be found I would of seen something by now. He's to smart for this. I could of sworn I saw him earlier over here. But when I got closer it was only a bum. He hasn't been anywhere near my house. I am sure of it."

With a twist of both wrists the Batmobile bolts up into the air towards the bat cave. "I'm heading in. Maybe you can dig something up about why he is back in town."

[Bird Boy]

I run through the street..the cops are on my heels. That old commish can run...No matter, all I have to do is one simple flick of my wrist and their guns will fly out of their hands.

I stop in front of them, I tell them I surrender, and to take me back to Juvie. Like I put any truth behind that. The comm. knows I'm lying..but how? She must have had some sort of special training. She finally agrees to "take me in". As they approach me, I put my hands up in the air and watch as the light post comes crashing down on the 2 young cops. Only the commish left to deal with now.

I hear a rumbling in the air. It's a perfectly clear night, so I know it's not going to storm. I hear it..it comes closer..but I still can't see it.

Then I do. It de-cloaks itself. It's Batman. I should have known. He always interferes with my fun. But I can handle him.

I look to the other side of me. I must thank the city for these light poles. I rip it out from the ground and the light goes out in it. i wield it as if it were a stick. Having these telekenetic powers are the best. I swing it and have it contact with the Batmobile. I watch the Batmobile go sailing into the trees. It counter-re-acts and comes back for more. How stupid of him. Does he really think he can take me?

I swing it harder than before, and it contacts directly with it's engine. It's almost funny how easy this is. The batmobile heads right toward me..not because Batman is taking it towards me..but because he can't control it. I jump out of the way. and drop the light pole...somehow...out of luck, it contacts with the Commish's ribs. I watch her scream in pain and slam into a tree.

I've done enough damage here. I run into the trees and go back to my old house..

[Shriek]

I disengange the top of the batmobile. I hop out land on my hands and then do a back flip onto ground next to Barabara.

"You alright?" I ask seriously.

"Get him kid. I'll take care of the officers," Barbara replies as she makes the call for back up.

I flick on the com link as I break out into a mad dash towards the woods. "Wayne. It's me! Watt's broke out. He thrashed the Batmobile and I think he even killed a cop. He's somewhere in the woods. South side of Gotham Zoo. I'm following him."

I hop a small concrete wall and boost up onto the tree line. I engage the wings and glide above the tree tops with infared scan on.

"Pop out, you little dreg!!" I look to the left and I see him heading towards the zoo. "I have to stop him before he reaches the zoo and does something."

I click on the com link. "Wayne. Get the cops and alert the zoo security. We have a situation."

I swoop down and tackle Willie Watt. I bring him up and bash his head against a tree. "How did you get out of that head gear?"

I didn't wait for an answer. A swift punch to the face. A strong knee into his chest. I sent him to the ground.

I couldn't feel my legs or arms. Com Link, "I Can't feel anything. He's got something controlling my re--------- OOOMP!!"

A huge branch hit my gut sending me straight into a wall.

[Mr. Obsession]

I'm in one of the older parts of the Gotham now. To the left there's a fire lit in a trash can, five of the city's homeless huddle around it for warmth. Perfect.

They don't notice my approach.

"Old man."

They all turn, one does a double take, the rest go pale. They couldn't run if they wanted to.

"Do exactly as I say and this," I take out a cred card one of the Jokerz was kind enough to 'give' me, "is all yours. It's just about enough to buy a hot meal and a bed for the night. Interested?"

They nod.

"Good..." And for effect, "now I won't have to kill you. All each of you has to do is find a different public phone and tell the emergency operator that 'the hunter has come to claim his trophy.' I don't care what the operator says, just repeat the message until they hang up."

I toss the cred card to the ground. They eye it, no one daring to move.

"Now do it and remember, I'll be watching. Do anything else and I'll kill you all."

A young man grabs the card and they run to complete their task.

[Bird Boy]

MCGINNIS!

I yell in the commlink. I saw the branch..I saw Willie. He's learned some new tricks.

I press the button "McGinnis, you have to stay on your feet. I don't want to have to repair that suit again."

All I hear is a slight "ha ha", then the branch hits Terry again.
Their must be somthing I can do....

I switch the Vid-link on. And I look around for somthing Terry can use. Nothing...nothing...then.. I see it.

I press the button again, "McGinnis, see that pole? Pick it up. and fight Willie with it"

The branch swings again, and then the vid-link shuts off. I try the commlink..then again..then again..nothing

McGinnis is out.

[Bird Boy]

*swings the branch one more time to make sure Batman's out*

"Good. Now your dealt with" I say to myself.

I let the branch go, which quickly breaks off of the tree and lands on Batman. I hear a crunch...and it didn't come from the branch.

I run several more streets, dodging into the shadows, avoiding the cops. I have to get to somewhere safe. The old Monarch Theater should provide protection...nobody in their right mind would think of looking their.

I run past a large video panel on one of the buildings. It flashes a news post:

The villian, Inque, is on the loose. Gotham police are looking for her now. They, so far, do not know the wearabouts of her.

And in other news..


After the Inque tid-bit, I go to my original plan. To the theater...

After running for a half and hour.. I arrive at it. The dust has been disturbed recently.. I push open the door..sombody has been in here...today.

I walk down the aisle..careful not to disturb anything. Whoever was here is still here. I open up the projector room..and their...I see.....nothing...It must have been my imagination...

I shut the door..and as soon as I turn around.. a black and blue blob covers me..I can't see... I can't move... I can't....breath

[Shriek]

Blackness!! It's like I am covered by Inque! I see nothing or feel nothing. But yet my mind is racing a hundred miles an hour asking every question known to man.

A bright light seems to get my attention. "Is this heaven?" I ask myself. I start to feel a huge pain sensation on my chest.

I hear voices all around me. "Is that really Batman?" "Is he dead?" "He can't be!"

I open my eyes to see a group of police officers removing a huge tree branch off of my chest. I look to the left of me and see a huge chunk of a tree stump. I stumble to my feet hearing the ground below me crack.

I feel nothing but pain all over my body. Regaurdless of the pain I can only say but one thing, "Where's Watt?"

I start to walk away from the scene when an officer grabs my shoulder and orders, "CLEAN THIS UP!"

I push him away and continue to walk away in pain. "Back off!" I extend my wings and boost off into the air. I head North towards the Batcave.

After a long while I finally reach the Batcave. I fly in and lose control and crash into a bunch of stuff sending me straight into a wall.

"WAYNE!!!!!!" Is all I can manage to shout.

[Inque]

ooc:yo, you can't control other people's characters...its in the rules. but i'll let it slide........i'll work around it. if you're going to "borrow" a character for a bit, just ask for the permission from the person who plays it.


Inque: (In a place FAR FAR away from where everybody else is...)I stopped running for now. I definitely lost them. As I hid in the cracks of a building, I could hear the cops saying that they couldn't find me anymore. I waited a little bit more for them to go away, and then I left. They know that they can't catch me, they'll probably give up on looking for me for a long time.

ooc:since birdboy borrowed inque, i'm borrowing willie, i've already has his permission.


Willie Watt: I use my telekinetic powers to get the stuff off of me. I hear a bunch of Joker's laughing in the distance. Turns out, it's just some Jokerz prank. They tried to dump some industrial waste on me, it was not Inque at all. I put a mean look on my face and gave them a dirty look.

ooc: there ya go bird boy, i set you up for whatever you want to do with the jokerz. so it wasn't Inque at all. Inque had nothing to do with it. The only the Inque did was that she escaped from jail.

I think this fixes everything. Just remember, if you want to borrow a character, just ask the person who plays that character.

[Bird Boy]

Thanks Inque. I didn't mean to intentionally set you up..hence why I put "black and blue" not Inque directly. Anyway, off to my RPG part...hehe

I look at the Jokerz. They continue their laughing. They won't for long

One of the jokerz says "Awww..it's little Willie Watt! I suppose your going to hurt us now? Well, I don't think any of that telekenetic stuff is real..I think it's pure bull s---- AHHHHH"

I raise that one up by his ears, "pure bull eh? I suppose I couldn't do this.."

I throw him out the window. It may have given out my position..but I don't care...to see that Joker bleed is all I want.

The others run in fear. They won't get away that easily...
"You spook me by thinking you were Inque.. well, 2 bad.. your not running away that easily.."
I pick the other 2 up. and shove them in the projector room. In my back pocket, I'd been keeping a set of matches..for no reason..but now their is one.

I light one match, and then light the entire set of matches. I throw it into the door. then lock the outside of it.

As I walk out the door, I hear shrieks and screams. I just grin. Nobody messes with willie watt...nobody.

I head home again..to settle the score with my old man..once and for all..

[Bird Boy]

I still wait. The CommLink is useless.. I thought I heard "WAYNE!!" cried out....but..no..must have been my imagination..

I look down at Ace.. he perks up his ears. His hearing is definetly better than mine

"What is it boy?" I ask him

he gets up and growles... and runs outside the north entrance. I run after him.

When we arrive their..I see a ripped wing.. a red and black wing. Terry's around here somewhere. I look around..but Ace finds him first...

I bring him into the light..from the look of him..he's bleeding...but when he gets into the light..I see he's not just bleeding..but bleeding bad, and every one of his ribs are sprained..lucky they aren't broken.

"Great..this will put him out for a couple days of work.." I mutter to myself.

Ace puts his pawns on the table and whines

"He'll be ok" I re-assure him.. somehow..he must have understood me, because he got down and laid next to the bat-computer chair.

I let terry sleep for a couple more hours. I see him stir a couple of times.. he's one tough kid.. I'm surprised...from the beating he took..

I see him sit up... I go over..
"How do u feel?"

[Shriek]

"Like I've Been Hit By A Train," I manage to reply painfully. With every last bit of my remaining strength I sit up straight in the chair. I stare at the batcomputer and then back to Bruce.

"Do we have any leads?" I ask. I look down and start to bandage up my ribs. I wince a little with the sharp pain.

[Mr. Obsession]

Using the shadows to conceal myself I run along the ledge of a building. A police unit pulls up and stops, I freeze. One of the officers rolls down the window and tosses a plastic cup at a trash can. He misses and his partner makes a crack about giving him a ticket for littering.

He gets out of the car, the rookie. "Time to raise the stakes Bat Spirit."

[Bird Boy]

"No" I say.. "No..no leads yet"

I open up the Hanger..where I keep all of my vehicles

I select a new Batmobile..I wonder long this one will last

"The last Batmobile you were in, got pretty beat up. Try not to let this when get beat up so fast" I tell him. He opens his mouth to say somthing, but I stop him.
"I know your going to say it wasn't your fault..which I don't believe it is.. you just have to be more careful. It's not like I can buy these things in bulk."

"Now, go home. And rest. if your mom asks, which she more than likely will, tell her you were..hmm...well, I'm sure you'll think of somthing. I'll see you in 3 days. And I don't want to see you before then either. I'll keep you posted on sightings of Willie and Stalker."

I walk up to Wayne Manor, leaving Terry to his thoughts.

[Mr. Obsession]

"OFFICER DOWN!!! I REPEAT WE HAVE An..."


My staff retracts from the units window. I pause to check on the young officer, blood trickles from the spot where I connected with the side of her head. She's still alive, good. Right now I just want the Batman's attention, the only real blood I want is his. The only blood worthy of my hands.

I move to the back of the vehicle and remove the knife that pins the other officer's hand to the units trunk. This one I underestimated. Even after the tranquilizer dart hit he was able to get of three shots, one grazing my left arm. Had I been any slower he may have even gotten a better aim. No, that would not do at all.

Tearing off part of his shirt sleeve I wrap the wound to stop the bleeding. I think I'll head south now.

[Peace Keeper]

Sorry to interupt your Role Play session... The story thus far is actually pretty good; Especially the parts by SHRIEK and MR. OBESESSION

;) Can I be Max Gibson? You guyz can controll her for now. Don't include her in the story on my account.



Max...yes...I have some big plans for you...big plans

[Inque]

she's all yours, feel free to kill your character in some way......just kidding:D

[Bird Boy]

Killing jokerz does have it's advantages...but..it's not what I broke out of Juvie for..I came for 1 man..and 1 man alone..

I climb the steps to my house...or my old house at least. I put in my old key..I've had it for years..cops never took it away from me..

I put it in the key hole..but it won't go in.

"Changed the locks..." I mutter to myself.

I hear a gun c ock behind me...

I hear a ruff voice say "all right..stick em' up. I want your name."

"Willie" I say in a low voice.."Your son"

I can tell he takes a step back
"Willie! What...what...what are you doing here?"
"Oh..I had some business to take care of. You won't be needing that.."
I lift the gun out of his grasp, bend it into a knot, and throw it down the hill.
"How..did you do that?"
"It's rather simple...lemme show you"
I pick him up....
"AHHHH.. GET ME DOWN!! NOW!"
"All right.."
I let him down..but not easily.
*thunk*
"Can't you let down any easier?"
"I could..but that would defeat the purpose of me coming here.."
"And what purpose might that be?"
"This purpose.."
I throw him throw the window
"..to kill you"
"Wha..wha...WHAT? Kill me! But I'm your father!"
"Yes..I know..and you won't think I'm a weakling after this..trust me..."

I shove him into the chair and head to the kitchen......to get a knife...

[Shriek]

While sitting head I get an idea. It hits me like lightning.

I instantly spring to life ignoring the pain in my ribs. "Get the cops to Willie Watt's home!" I shout out loud.

I dash over to the batmobile and dive into the cockpit instantly turning it on. I twist my wrist and I blast off straight out of the cave heading towards the city.

I tap the side of my temple and the vidlink and com link turn on. "You may have to watch this," I order. "Last time I dealt with Willie his father turned him into what he is now. At least before the powers he has.

I reach Willie's neighborhood. "Check that out!! Do you see that? Broken glass and according to infared scope, there are two bodies inside. Time to go to work!"

I drop from the batmobile and through the kitchen sky window all as the batmobile soars over the house. I land on the kitchen floor and roll up into an uppercut formation instantly sending Watt out the window.

I boost into the living room and fly Watt's father out the window. I free him of the chair and drop him onto a fire truck so that he is sent far North.

I do a an awesome flip and come jetting back through the house spearing Watt to the floor.

[Inque]

dana tan (a.k.a etienne) said she wanted to be dana tan so she is!

[Mr. Obsession]

I just want to welcome Peace Keeper and etienne to the game. :)


As Stalker :

The farther south I go the more residential the area becomes. Not the best place to accidently be caught by Batman. But on the other hand, maybe it is.

[DanaTan]

Dana Tan, baby!!! :-)
:D

I sit near my window, staring into the dark night. It was pleasantly cool; not too cold, nor too hot.

I glance impatiently at my watch. It's been over a week since Terry last spoke to me. Some boyfriend I had. I was tempted to try his cell phone, but that was too predictable. Maybe I could surprise him. It was pretty late, Terry would be at home, right? I pull on a light jacket to block the wind. Slipping down the stairs, I sneak out into the calm night. I hoped that my father wouldn't catch me going out, given how protective he had become.

I pull open the gate of my house and drew my jacket closer to me. A sudden chill enveloped me. I hurry down the street toward's Terry's house. "You better be there, McGinnis. Otherwise you won't survive to see tomorrow!" I mutter to myself. In all my musings I fail to notice a shadow behind me, slinking in the night.

[Bird Boy]

OOC: Sorry about this delay. I've been waiting for Shriek to get online so we could do this fight together.

I get up, and pull some of the broken glass out of my flesh

"Ouch..that hurt" I say sarcastically. I can tell Batman is still in pain from the last time

"If you want to end it here and take me in, I'd be willing..." I yell at him "....I wouldn't want to hurt you any further"

Batman leans to the right and snaps back, "Not a chance!"

"Fine.. be...that.....way"

I take the knife out from my pocket and fling it at him. He does a flip against the wall and it passes right between his ears. He then kicks off the wall, and boosts out at me, slams me in the gut, and I fall down.

I pick him up with my powers and slam him against the wall. I then procede in pulling his arms out wide..until I hear a crack

"Does that hurt?" I ask him. I grin...I can't help but enjoy this.
"No. But I'm sure this will"
He throws a tiny pellet at me...it then explodes and releases gas that makes my eyes tear up.
"Tear gas.." I mudder to myself.
I look around but I can't see anything. I then feel a uppercut connect with my chin. I fly upwards and hit the tree in our yard.

I jump down from it. I pick up a bunch of rocks with my powers and throw them at batman all at once. I pick up a fairly hefty one...I throw it, but he blocks it.

I could see those little pebbles touched a sore spot in him.

He comes at me full force and kicks me in the chest with both feet. He wants to settle this..and he wants to settle this now. He gives me an all out attack..I don't have time to retalliate..he hits me with too much. I use up 2 much of my time blocking his punches. he eventually gets me against the tree, and continues hitting me. I then find time to block one of his double kicks. as I do so, it sends him backwards, he ignites his jets but goes out of control.. he spins upward and then falls to the ground. I go over to kick him around, but he uses his jets again and slams me against the tree again. He ties me around the tree with some rope. He then goes and finds my dad.

I pull the tree up out of the ground and loosen the ropes. I run around the corner of the house..the tree still floating with my mind. I see him around the west window. I bring the tree around the other side. I then drop it on him and my father. I hear screams..but Batman manages to hold it up somehow..my fathers crippled....

I stop to watch..but only for a minute. I hear sirens up ahead. I run across the street..I gotta find shelter..McGinnis..he was always my friend..even if he did rat on me in Juvie..batman probably put him up 2 it..I'll go to McGinnis's house..

[Mr. Obsession]

Moving along the rooftops something street level catches my attention. From my vantage point I see that it's a young woman, Asian, sneaking out of her home. I pause, she hasn't noticed that someone is trying to follow her.

I stop to watch, "this could get interesting."

[Shriek]

I painfully rise from the ground. "He got away again," I shout out loud.

I look to a crying father, "I can't feel my legs!! I can't feel my legs!" He constantly repeats over and over.

I walk out of the demolished home and tell the cops that Watt's Father is inside. The police rush into the home with paramedics also on the way.

I reach down to my belt and push a button. The batmobile flies over head as I boost into the cockpit. I twist the accelerator and I blast off towards my home.

[DanaTan]

[COLOR=skyblue]Dana Tan

The walk didn't take that long. Even though I had preferred a car to drive in, it was nice to simply get out into the open air and walk.

I stopped.
Then turned around.

Know that creepy feeling you get when you think that someone is watching you?

I was getting that now.

And I didn't like it. I quickly turned around, attempting to catch whoever that was in surprise. I was greeted by an empty street illuminated by streetlights. I stood there, hearing my blood rush to my face, as I scanned the street for any signs of life. The only sound that could be heard was the silence that was rare to a city so busy.

There was nothing. Times like these I wished that I had some sort of a mirror, or at least eyes at the back of my head. Something.

I continued walking, a little faster than before. At random intervals I would spin around to check behind me. There was always nothing. After a while, I began to give up.

"Dana, you're just being paranoid. STOP IT," I ordered myself. I was being stupid. Why would there be anyone out to get me? I briefly considered if perhaps it was one of the Jokerz following me... "No," I told myself. "They wouldn't be that smart. They would be dumb and loud and attract some sort of attention." The words 'especially Batman's' lingered in my head but I pushed it away.

I wished that I had someone to walk with me... Max, Blade, Chels,...

Terry...

It was just like him to make himself scarce when I needed him.

I continued to walk quickly, on the brink of running if I were to hear anything. Terry's building could be seen in the distance and my heart sped up. I would quickly be there. All I could see was the building and all I could hear was the sound of my panting breath as I ran down the street towards the gray stone building. I was almost there.

Pant, Pant,

Why did I wear high heels?

Pant, Pant,

Look, there's the doorbell. Now, ring it.

I pressed the button and waited. I began to fidget. Why wasn't anyone opening the door? Where would he be so late at night?

Was he seeing someone else?

I quickly pushed the thought away from my conscious mind and continued to press the button.

"Come on, Terry... Open up!" I called out softly.

I turned away from the door.

Here I was, in the middle of a city, in the middle of the night. I stared out at the empty street before me. I didn't want to walk home, especially alone.

[Shriek]

"Sonofa Gun!" I look to the distance and notice Dana standing at my doorstep. "This does not look good," I mutter under my breath.

I push a button and auto pilot is engaged. I quickly take off my mask and the rest of my costume. I drop out of the batmobile and land in an alley behind my home.

The batmobile flies over head sending a gust of wind at everything around my home. "That's pretty windy," I joke.

I run up to my home seeing Dana. "Dana, Dana!"

I give her a big hug and plant a kiss on her. "What's going on?"

[Bird Boy]

I run up the street. Nobody around..nothing in site..then I see the batmobile screech over my head..but it doesn't stop..
"That's odd..he must be too weak to fight.." I mutter to myself.

I find McGinnis's building..I open up the door and run up to the elevator, get in it..trying to remember which level mcginnis lives on..of course....now I remember..I've never been here..how would I know?

I wait for awhile..the last button pressed was for floor 8.. I press that button..hopefully I'm lucky.

The elevator doors open..and I just about turn the corner when I hear:

"What's going on?"

It's McGinnis's voice. I poke my head around the corner..and I see Dana..AND Terry. I hadn't planned on this.. I get ready to back into the elevator when it closes behind me, and goes down..sombody else is coming up...


I hide behind the other corner and wait..it stops a level below us..I whipe the sweat off my forehead..now what do I do? I was hoping I'd only find McGinnis..now I might have to deal with Dana too..


OCC: Obviously, we are going to have to take control of others characters..since Shriek said "What's going on?" Dana's obviously going to reply. I give Shriek + Dana control of Willie, just don't do anything I wouldn't do! ;)

[Mr. Obsession]

I watch as the figure following the young woman ducks into an alley as she turns around, I can't quite make out who or what it is but the figure gives me the creeps. I don't like that, it's not a feeling I'm use to.

The woman picks up her speed, the figure follows again and then it turns, I think it just saw me, I don't know how but it knows where I am. And goes back down the alley.

The young woman reaches her destination, she look frantic, trying to get into the building.

The Batmobile rushes over my head. "He's in the area."

I see a young man race out and embrace the young woman.

Time to decide, follow the Batman or have him come to me. I know what to do.

I leap of the building.

"Time to die!"

Insert edit -
OOC: Dang! I need to learn to type faster, Bird_Boy got in before me.

Insert 2nd edit -
I'm taking off and probably won't be back on until Saturday night or Monday-ish, so feel free to play around with Stalker (like everyone else says "don't do anything I wouldn't do" :p ) and I'll just start back up later.

[nightwing_38116]

I'd like to be Dick Grayson.

[Inque]

you can take him. sorry it took so long for me to respond. its the end of the year and things are a little bit hectic. gotta keep that post number ahead of dick graysons :) i'll be jumping in soon!

[Flying Grayson]

Can I create a character that is more like a earlier character (no suit enhacening your strenght.). I'll describe it after I get an O.K.

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: Yep, according the rules you can create an original character to use in any of the RPGs, the only rule on this rule is they can't be "Mary-Janes." Uhh, I don't really know how to describe that, go to the general rules thread and you can see what a "Mary-Jane" is.

As for the rest of you, post something! I'm kind of stuck at the moment waiting for someone else to post. And if you feel the need to play around with Stalker to do it, then go ahead. Just don't kill me. ;)

[Flying Grayson]

Okay, the guy's name is Hawk.
He only has a few weapons, and is trained in several forms of Martial Arts. He is completly human and there is no suit to enhance his strenght (he might get one thought). He just came into town, so he doesn't know about all of the Jokerz.

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: Cool. And remember playing with the Jokerz is always fun! :)

And feel free to post anytime, all the action doesn't take place in the same... place.

Who knows, maybe Stalker and Hawk can play sometime soon.


And for the rest of you, post something!

[Flying Grayson]

"Being new in town sucks." Hawk thought as he walked up the street. This was Batman's home town and this new guy.
A motorcycle came down the street, behind it were several more. the guys had white make-ip and looked like clowns.
"This seems helpful."

[Bird Boy]

occ: Good lord, ppl, this situation that we all got in obviously has us stuck... I suggest we try to break up. Like, Stalker, I think your at Terry's apartment building, so, maybe you should go take a peek in the window....and see dana..then leave right away..cuz you don't want to endanger her? I dunno. Anyway, I'm gonna do this little willie thing right now..

******This point on, I'm Willie Watt******

I breath heavily...I didn't think dana would be here..I have no place else to go....where? No time to think about it now..I'm going...but the elevator will alert McGinnis.I'll take the steps..

I open the door...and run down the steps at full speed. I'm just about to open the door..but Jokerz are outside.. I can't dwindle..I'll give them 3 minutes to leave...

I look at my watch.....
1minute..
2minute...
3minute....

I can't wait any longer. I shove the door open as fast as I can. and hit one in the back.. I run through a mist of smoke.. teenage jokerz smoking...no wonder they stood there so long..

"Smoking? Aren't you a little young?" I grin as I pick the one up from the ground and shove him against the door.

"Put me down dreg!"

"Dreg? I don't like being called that..."

I take my fist and slam him in the gut..and make him fall to the ground in pain.Another wheels around and hits me in the back...

I sweep em' off the ground w/ my feet. Till they are all down..

"Had enough?"
"Yes!! Please..no more..all we wanna do is smoke!"
"Oh..I don't think so..give me those" I rip the ciggerets out of the Jokerz hands.. then I find a match on him. I then procede to light the pack on fire. I drop it to the ground..and laugh as the Jokerz scramble to try and get a ciggerete out of the pack before they all go up in flames

"It's pointless boys. You better just sniff the tobacco while it lasts. You won't be getting a new pack of those in a while..." I ;) at them and then leave down the street.....

Where to go? I could try nelson..no..I wrecked his car..he wouldn't hide me..maybe...Blade...she might think I'm good lookin' now that I'm stronger...

"If only I knew where she lived...And if only I knew her real name..I'm sure 'Blade' isn't in the phone book......hey wait..I'll look up Chelsea...I'll ask her for Blades number.."

I run and find a pay-phone and flip through the phone book.. "Cunningham...Cunningham...ah.. 'Chelsea Cunningham'... private line? She is rich isn't she..." I dial up the number and wait for her to pick up...
5 rings...nothing..wait..
"Hi! I'm not here right now..otherwise I would have answered on ring 1. Well, if you wanna leave a message you can..or, you can come to my house..located at: 784 Paroll Way and wait for me."

"Giving your address Chelsea? Not to wise...not to wise at all.."

I hang up the phone and find my way to 784 Paroll way....


******End of Willie Watt*******


occ: Well, that's it. If anybody else replies to this post, then I'll post my conclusion, but it looks as if our Dana Tan and Terry McGinnis have died. Come on ppl! Don't let this RPG die! ;)

-BB

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: Actually if you go back and read the posts you'll find that both the characters Terry and Dana are outside of Terry's building and I'm rapidly descending towards them. So it all works out in theory. Now if only one of them would post soon, or at least give us permission to use their characters.

And I do have something of a story line worked out for what I'm doing with Stalker, I just keep adjusting it for moves made by the other players. It's a plan so cunning it just might work! :D

If I remember correctly in the ep Revent it listed Blade as Bobbie "Blade" Summers on the computer screen.


********** As Stalker **************

"TIME TO DIE!"

The couple look up, obviously startled.

Like an Olympic diver I continue my decent, tucking in at the last second, performing a graceful flip.

An alarm goes of as I land on the roof of a car, making a very large dent. Annoyed I pull out my staff, extending it through the engine. The alarm dies.

I look at the young man and young woman, and I smile.

********** insert edit ****************

ooc: I just wanted to add that we're all stuck together at this point, if you need to use Stalker to do something feel free to. Just don't do anything I wouldn't do, or kill me and stuff. :p

[Shriek]

OOC: Sorry. My pc has been crapped up.

IC:

"So Dana why are you here? Did something happen?" I ask. While waiting for a reply I turn to the right and notice the Stalker diving towards us.

I push Dana out of the way and take the hit to the ground. I rise to my feet.

"Stalker!" I say in my batman voice. "So you come for your trophy?"

"Yes I have Batman," The Stalker replies. He extends his pole and swats at my head. I duck quickly and flip towards Dana.

"Come on where is it?" I ask myself. I reach into my back pocket and find some gas balls. "Sorry Dana!" I whip a gas ball at her face sending her peacefully asleep to the ground.

I do a backflip and land on the roof of the new Dodge Viper GTS. (( OOC: I love cars)) "In case you haven't noticed. The Bat is not here." I playfully taunt. I bend on my knees and launch at him full speed turning a sphere into a drop kick. The Stalker bashes into a steel pole.

I take his head and bash his head against the steel pole several times. Thinking I have the advantage I take a short while to catch my breath.

The Stalker quickly counters with a roundhouse kick to my face. I am sent straight to the ground.

I carefully climb to my feet. I clumbsily reach for one of the remaining gas balls. I throw it towards the Stalker's left nostril of his nose. He bashes the ball in mid air sending the gas floating in the air.

COUGH COUGH! I cough trying to avoid the gas. "Where to go? Where to go?" I ask my self. I look towards the Viper. I dive through the passenger window of the vehicle. I climb into the drivers seat. I rip out the fuse panel and start hot wiring the car. Within seconds I rev the engine up and blast off down the street hoping Stalker will follow.

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: Actually I was playing Stalker from the point of view that he doesn't know that Terry is Batman, nor does he care. The Batspirit is the Batspirit. Well it's all good, lets see what I can do with this.

ic: *cough* *cough* The gas! I look around and see him jumping into a car.

I wasn't expecting this, I knew Batman was in the area, but to fall upon him so suddenly? And to find that my greatest hunt is a mear boy?! But the evidence is there, his voice, the way he fights, and the Batmobile...

It's not what I expected. But in the Jungle one must learn to adapt in order to survive. And I am a survivor.

He takes off and I follow. Glancing behind I get a good look at the young woman and the building. If I loose Batman I can always come back.

The hunt is on.

[Flying Grayson]

"I hate clowns." I say as I jump up and kick the first one who approches off his motorcycle. The others see this and turn and flee.
"Wusses." I say as I turn and notice a guy about his age fighting some large guy with a stick attacking him. "this ain't good." I remarked as I run to the scene.

[Bird Boy]

OOC: I got Shrieks permission..so here goes:

Wayne Start:

I ponder whethe or not I should call Terry.

I decide to call him. I dial up his cell phone.. 3 rings before he picks up.. I immediately say:

"McGinnis, report, did stalker get away? And what's the status on Willie?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. McGinnis isn't availible."

"Who is this?" I ask, somewhat surprised at what I had said to this stranger

"Gotham Police. We recieved a call that a young girl was gassed outside of Mr. McGinnis's apartment. I assume you don't know where he is?"

"No..no I don't. Why do u want him?"

"The Commisioner wishes to speak with him"

I listen to the cop as he talks to an old woman...that old woman is..

"Bruce. I want you tell me where McGinnis is, and I want you to tell me now!" Gordon yells into the phone

"Barbra.. I don't know where he is. if I did, I'd tell you. I'm sure he'll call me, when he does, I'll call you."

"I hope I'm wrong Bruce.. he proved me wrong once*, and I hope he does again"

*click*

I hang up after I hear the click..no use doing anything else..just have to wait for him to call...


Wayne End!


*See "Eyewitness" on how Terry proved Comm. Gordon wrong!


Well.. that's all for this post..until next time.....

The Amazing, Stupendious, and all-around Articulate,

-Bird_Boy!!!!

[Mr. Obsession]

"He's toying with me."

The ground car moves just fast enough to keep ahead without loosing me in the chase.

I run down the street following the car driven by the... the boy. A part of me still does not want to believe it. No matter, time to ruin his fun.

Not wasting any time I reach into my pouch pulling out two handgrips and a nasty looking hook. I put on the grips, which I normally use for climbing, and attach the hook to my staff.

Bringing myself to run as fast as I can I hit the small button which extends the staff, sinking it right into the cars bumper.

Now that I'm letting the car drag me I propel myself off the road, still holding onto the staff, I perform a back flip while hitting the button to retract my staff.

Upon impact with the back of the car tiny spikes shoot out from my handgrips allowing me to hold on. The car swerves to the sporadically to the left and right, trying to shake me off.

I reach down to retrieve my staff, removing the hook. Taking aim I extend it through the window.


******************
ooc: Shriek, let me know if it's alright to use Terry for a post or two, it's only fair right? ;)

[Shriek]

"Ahh!" I shout as glass crashes into my face. I quickly feel a trickle of blood pour down my face.

I slam the brakes of the Viper and send Stalker launching through a glass window.

"You want Batman?" I ask forcefully. "I'll get you Batman! "Wait here," I order the beat up Stalker.

I shift the car into reverse and slam the gas. The car soars down the street. I quickly head towards the police lights near my home. "Terry you have one chance at this," I tell myself.

I pull the emergency brake and send the car spinning into 360's. I rise from the window and snatch my back pack. I then hit the foot brake causing the car to stop. I press down the hand brake and engange the clutch and shoot off down the street.

I throw on the Batman mask and then slowly change into the rest of my costume. "You better still be there Stalker!"

I click on the vid link and into the com link I say, "Wayne. It's me. I'm going after Stalker!"

I slam the breaks and I fly out of the windshield doing a perfect front flip landing on my feet.

[Mr. Obsession]

"Coward."

I watch the car spin and head back the way we came.

Standing up I brush some glass off. The taste of blood is in my mouth. Carefully I pull the small glass shards out of my face, wondering how badly they'll scar. As an afterthought I reach back and touch my spine. I've suffered worse.

Walking to the other side of the street I pick up my staff and return it to it's compact size.

I think about going after Batman, but no. He's wounded as well. Wounded animals are always the most dangerous and unpredictable. Besides his lair is somewhere near there. While that could work in my favor, perhaps as a distraction for him, it is not the place I have chosen for my final victory. Besides, if he is distracted he may not give me the best fight possible. It would not be a state that would allow me total satisfaction.

I look up at the night sky, there are still several hours until dawn, but some rest may do me some good. I should at my best for our next encounter, one that should be of my choosing.



Using a series of ill-light streets I make my way back to the hotel room I have rented, under an alias of course.

[Bird Boy]

Tired...so tired.. I've done nothing but run and fight since I got into gotham.. I need to rest....

I fall down on the steps of Chelsea's house. Nobody home I guess..no car in the driveway. I try and catch my breath...

I hear a cop car in the distance..I run into the dark shadows as it passes me. it's the comm..and she's coming out of the car..and up onto the steps..
"Crap" I mutter to myself.

She rings the door bell, but like me, doesn't have any luck. She decides to wait.
"Crap again" I think to myself. I'm never gonna get out of this situation. I'm 20in away from the comm...anything could happen.

"Search the perimeter. Look in every dark corner. And keep your rifles out, I don't want this Watt boy escaping!"

"Yes Ma'am"

The comm. takes out her flashlight, and immediately shines it in my corner.

"Thought I heard something" she says as she lets a slight smile appear on her face, "Do you want to give up now? or fight again?"

My mind rushes. I could just go back to juvie..but where would I be then? stuck in their for another 4 years.

"Look" I tell her, "I just wanna see my friend Chelsea,you got a problem with that?". Such a dumb answer, but it'll buy me some more time for me to think over my decision.

"Yes, it is a problem" she says.

I can tell she's getting tired of looking for me....
I finally make up my mind
"Ok, if it's a problem with you, then your my problem" I rip the pistol from her hand. "I'm not going to kill you, just injur you!"
I press the trigger and let the bullet fly into her shoulder "Have a nice day!" I can't help but smile as I start my run down the street.
I look back again; the cops are chasing me. one's staying w/ gordon. The shoot at me. They are playing for keeps now.

I turn around on my heel to face them. They are shocked to see me do so.
"Giving up?" one of them says
"Yeah. I can't run any further" I reply...of course, I'm lieing.
"Good, now, Earl, put these on him"
I look as the cop takes out a pair of cuffs
"You guys are so naive, do u really that'll wo----" I fall down to the ground...somebody shot me from behind..
"Where'd you come from?" I manage to say.. I can feel the blood coming out of my bullet wound
The cop doesn't reply. No need to, I guess. I slip my foot around and sweep them off the ground. All 3 shoot their guns off in alarm.

I begin running this time..but slower..so much slower.. that wound is really making me drag.

I see 2 ppl coming out of their car. The driver left the keys in. I watch them kiss. "must be the first date" I say to myself. I run over to the car and punch them out of the way. I hear them fall to the ground, and I man cusses at me. but I get in the car and lock the doors before he can stop me.
Add grand theft auto to my record... If I ever get caught.. it'll be a long while before I get outta juvie..

I rev the car up and fly down the street, no way the cops will catch me now!

I look back to see the cops chasing me by foot. I can't help but laugh. I'm going at full speed now, nothing will stop me.
I turn the corner w/o letting go of the gas. I get myself on the freeway, making sure not a soul is following me. I slow down a bit, and let turn to a different lane.

As I drive around, thinking of where I should go next. a car bumps me from behind. I look in the mirror, "Jokerz..." I mutter to myself. I slam the petal down. They bump me again and I loose control of the car. I spin into the other side of the freeway. By the time I regain control of the car..it's too late.. a semi contacts with me.

It chucks me down the lane, shoving me into another car. I get thrown around in car. I hear sirens coming from the distance...

What happened next..I don't know. Next thing I know I'm in the hospital. all alone in the room.

I slowly get out of bed.. my arm, body, head...everything hurts.. I try the door..
"slaggit..locked"
The windows aren't though. I walk over to one and open it up. and look out
10 stories below the street awaits me. I look around for a metal object..
"Ahh..bingo" I see a metal tray in the room. I throw it out the window and then connect to it w/ my powers..I float out the window and onto the board. I lower myself to the ground. Luckily it's late, and very few people see me going down. and the ones that do are either drunk or on drugs.

I finally land and realize I'm only wearing boxers and socks. I run around the corner, and wait for sombody to come out of the building. I see a man in a business suit come out, about 5 minutes later. I throw the pan at him and knock him un-conscious. I get his cloths, and put them on. He has a couple thousand creds in his wallet. I take those too. Now I can afford a hotel.

The nearest one is Gotham Towers. I call a cab to take me there.

I arrive at Gotham Towers 10minutes later. I pay the man what I owe him, then go inside. I register the room, then go up in it.

I fall down onto the bed. time to get some sleep. no way the cops will get here...no.. way...


OCC: I know that was long. I planned on ending it at where the semi hit me, but I just couldn't stop typing it out..I had all these ideas coming..heh. Now then, Shriek, can I take ahold of Terry for awhile so Bruce and him can talk? Pleeeease! :cool:

[Shriek]

ANYONE can use my character just as long as they don't kill him.

[Bird Boy]

OCC: Thanks Shriek...


The phone rings

"McGinnis, where have you been?"

"Sorry, stalkers been chasing me. Slaggit.. I need the batmobile"

"I'll send it out now. What's the deal with gasing dana?"

"Oh..that. Stalker came in, while we were talking. I had to do somthing!"

"Good. The Comm. would like you to call her. I believe she has some questions for you re-garding Dana."

"Not good. What's her number?"

"255-995. I've devised a new Bat-a-rang*. When your done running, stop by the cave and I'll give you some. they should prove usefull in defeating watt. Just don't get to close to him when you use them. I also have a surprise** you can give Stalker.."
I shut off the com-link. I look at the new Bat-A-Rang. just a few more finishing touches. and it should be ready.

*The new Bat-a-rangs are made of plastic (not metal, which willie can control). With sharp edges, and they explode on contact. I dunno exactly what Shriek (batman) will use them for, but hey, gotta throw somthing new in! :)

**The surprise? you'll have to wait and find out. I'm only gonna tell shriek.. :D

-BB

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: A surprise you say? Come on tell me I want to know! :D

I probably won't post for a little bit, gotta make my plans and all that. Maybe when the night falls again....

[Shriek]

I stare below at the scene. The front of my house torn to crap. I glide down with cloak mode activated. I look to the left and notice the commissioner leaving.

I open the door and hop in. I reach down to my waist and turn my wrist. The clock is deactivated.

"I heard you wanted to see me?" I ask. I wait for the reply.

"Damn you kid. You turned this street into a war zone. What in gods name is wrong with you?" Barbara asked angry.

"err, I begin to say, It's stalker. He is behind this. He is back for me."

"McGinnis. I don't have time for your antics. This will not be happening. I will not allow it."

I answer firmly, "Yes it will. Give me 48 hours and I will have Stalker caught." I begin to open the door.

She locks it. "Your not going anywhere kid. The Master will see you now." She dials a strange number on her car phone and says, "I have him Willie!"

"Mind Control? I thought that was only in the movies?" I ask to myself. I realize that she could tell Willie who I really am. I reach my right hand into my belt and say, "Barbara I hate to do this, but----" My hand can't seem to find anymore gas balls. "Aw what the hell." I backhand the commissioner she gets knocked to the steering the wheel. I steer the car to the side of the road.

I bust out the window and leap off of the bridge. I am in free fall for a few seconds until I open my wings allowing me to glide over the surface of the water.

I click on the com link. "Wayne. Watt has Barbara under some sort of mind control thing. I detained her for awhile. So see if you can get Matt and my Mom out of town since she may tell Watt who I am under the black mask."

I make my way towards the cave.

[Mr. Obsession]

I enter my room through the window, no need to make the hotel staff suspicious.

Walking into the bathroom, I take a good look at myself, it's a little worse then I expected. Pulling out my specialized first aid kit I use the disinfectant to sterilize the tiny wounds that dot my face. It stings and in some small way I like it.

I walk to a desk and pull out my personal pen and stack of paper. No one that I know of writes like this anymore but I find it satisfying. It takes me about ten minutes to finish the first draft of my letter. Looking it over, it works but needs a something, something is missing. No matter, hopefully with in a day or two that will all be resolved. Carefully I fold the letter and hide it deep within my belongings, it simply wouldn't do to have the cleaning staff find it.

I turn on the news, Batman has been busy tonight. He's already had encounters Inque and some boy named Willy ((ooc: :p)). There's not much on me though. Just a small story about some of the city's homeless prank calling the emergency phones and stopping traffic claiming that I had come to take my trophy and kill everyone. Three have been apprehended and taken to a nearby hospital for observation. Not exactly what I wanted, but it should work. There's also a news byte about two officers who were rushed to a near by hospital in critical condition and the police refuse to comment on the situation. "Critical condition, bagh. They'll live."

I turn off the news and go back into the bathroom.

The shower feels good, the grime on my body washes away, I relax, and I form my plans for the coming day.

After drying off, I call the front desk and ask for a wake up call. Time to get some sleep.

"Pleasant dreams Batspirit."

[Inque]

It's great to see this place is back on its feet! We had a whole 8 day period when nobody posted! Keep up the great work guys.

[Bird Boy]

OOC- Shriek gave me permission to use Terry, so here it goes:

BRUCE START:

I hear the batmobile coming through the entrance.

"Here," *I throw McGinnis the weapons* "these are the ones you'll use. You know what they are for."

"Yeah..these rip. Stalkers gonna be hurtin' after I show him this.."

I make my way over to the bat-computer

"More than likely, Willie will try to get Barbra to erase his Juvie record. Then he'll be clean, and commit more crimes..."

I look at Terry as he checks out the new bat-a-rangs.

"What's that on your neck?" I ask him

"What?"

"On your neck.." I go over and pick it off...

"A two way speaker!" I break it in two, "Luckily we didn't greet each other like usual."

"Yeah. I can't wait for my fist to connect with Willie's face.."

"I just hope he doesn't know how to track signals. Otherwise, he knows our secret".

McGinnis replaces the old bat-a-rangs with the new ones, and throws the surprise for stalker in the batmobile.
"I'm gonna go beat the snot out of Willie..."

"That can wait. It's 2:30am in the morning. Get some sleep, we'll continue in the morning."

"The morning! Slag it! I have a huge history test.... It's now or never Wayne. Like you once said, 'who sleeps anymore' ?"

I watch McGinnis ignite the batmobiles jets, and then bolts out of the cave, immediatly going 100mph.

I go over to the bat-computer. I switch on the commlink.

"McGinnis, I want you to keep me posted on anything that happens."

The commlink groans and whistles, then fizzes out.

I pound my fist on the computer.
"They always go out when you need them the most.."

I sit back in the chair..

"McGinnis is alone on this one...."I mutter to myself. "I just hope he knows how to use the weapon against Stalker..."

BRUCE END.

[Bird Boy]

occ: Hey Shriek, your not on. but I'm pretty sure you'll let me use bat's. So, here goes:

ic:


The Batmobile flys overhead. Good thing I was in the shadows.

I don't know what to do. I don't want to fight, I don't want to run. I just want to...

I make up my mind. I'm going to run. I don't know where I'll go. All I know is I'm going to run.

I turn the corner. I stop dead in my tracks. the batmobiles parked there. and Batman's talking...to the Comm. of the police!

I duck behind the statue near me.

I poke my head out and check what's going on. Before I barely move it, Batman's fist connects with mine.

I stumble backwards into the wall.
"I don't want to fight! I swear!"
"Oh. But I do!"

He knees me in the gut. I hear a female yell in the distance. I fall to the ground..I can taste blood in my mouth.

"Batman! Stop. We'll take him from here!"
Batman picks me up off the ground and punches me in the face for a last time. The blood spurts out of my mouth onto his suit.
He looks at me, he raises his fist, but stops half way.
"Not worth the trouble. Punk"
He walks away and hops into his batmobile.
The Comm. picks me up and pulls me into a dark corner. I see her face form into somthing else....
"Inque! What the he--"
"Shh. I don't want Batman to hear. Come with me"
I whipe off my mouth and follow her down a dark tunnel. We stop half way.
"OK. I hear your...what's your name again?"
"Willie...Willie Watt."
"Yes. that's it. I want you.." she pauses half way, then begins again, "..I need you to help me with somthing.I need more mutagen."
"Oh? And what might you need that for?"
She slams me against the wall. I feel the brick crack behind me.
"I'm not playing games with you. Get me the mutagen, and I'll get you whatever you need. It's my business what I need it for."
"Fine. Fine. Don't get testy. Why am I the one who can get it?"
"My daughters un-trusthworthy, and I have nobody else."
"Oh.." I can sense a bit of sadness in her voice..
"Plus. It's guarded by lots of heavy doors, technology, and lasers"
"Ah. So, where is this..mutagen"
"Let me show you..."
She morphs into a pedestrian. She guides me down a street and points to a building.
"There"
"Wayne Tech?? Geesh.I dunno..."
She looks at me again. and her arm morphs into an ax. She morphs it back.
"...Oh, well. I don't really think it'll be that big of a problem.."
"Good. I'll wait here."

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: I'm still here. I haven't forgotten about the RPG and I plan to post and be IC soon. I'm just waiting for the "morning". This has to be one of the longest nights I've seen in a long time.

BTW, where is everyone? Max and Dana are MIA, Inque is AWOL, has everyone abandoned this RPG? :(

[Shriek]

Me and Bird Boy are still here!!

[Mr. Obsession]

Yes, I know that. If I didn't I would have listed you two as MIA too. :p

Anywho, if no one posts relevant BB RPG story post soon I'm going move the story line along into the next day. I think we're just about maxed out on this first night.

[Bird Boy]

OOC: Ok, I'm gonna make it morning after this post. I'm just gonna have willie go get the mutagen...oh, and Inque doesn't play in the RPG's anymore (read the 'Important Announcement' on the RPG page).

IC:

I run up to the Wayne Tech building. Two guards lower their guns to my level,
"I don't have time to play"
I take their guns out of their hands and toss them at each others head. They fall down unconcious.
I make my way through the building, punching, jabbing, throwing, whatever I can do to get the guards out of my way. I stop halfway up the building.
"Slaggit! I don't know where this mutagen is..."
A crackling comes over the speaker, then..
"Attention! Back up on floor 10! Backup! Now! REPEAT, Back-----"
I find the room it was broadcasting from and I whack the man on the back.
"No use now. They are on their way..."
I jump into the seat, and get into the computer database. I run several searches before I find what I need.
"Great.. level 6!" I mutter to myself.
I hear the guards outside, trying to get in. My only hope is..

I begin to push on the door with my mind.. it bends...It flings off of the hinges and takes the guards down.

I find my way down to level 6 and go around the rooms. One door electronically locked..no matter. I bend the door in all shapes and throw it aside. I go in, find the mutagen, then begin to leave.
"HALT! Stay right there!"
A guard comes in and points his gun at me.
"Oh please.."
I try to move the gun with my mind
"What tha.."
"It's made of plastic..now stay there, and drop the mutagen!"
I take a few steps back. I hadn't planned on this. I run to the window and jump out of it. I then realize I was 6 stories up. I fall, let gravity take it's course, then when I'm near the end, I find a lamp post and slow my descent. I jump off the lamp post.

I run to where Inque was.
"Inque? You still there?"
No answer. Inque left.
I look over my shoulder and see the sun popping up.
"Long day..." I take the mutagen with me and go find a new hideout. Maybe she still needs it...
END

OOC:K, you can do what ya want now Mr. Obsession! :)

-BB

[Shriek]

All I hear is crackling from the 2 way radio. "This just sucks," I say to myself.

"What the heck?" I ask as I notice a red button blinking in the batmobile. I click a small button and up pops a holographic picture of Wayne Powers Buildings.

I look at the Radio inside the batmobile and I turn the knobs until I find the channel of Wayne Powers Security. "Level 6 Secure!. He's outside. AHH!! I'm hit! I'm Hit. Get that kid!" All I hear is muffled shouts from guards.

"Slag! Wayne if you can hear me... I am going after Willie again."

I quickly turn my wrist and I am thrown to the back of my seat instantly. I fly above the screen and instantly spot Willie running.

I press a small button on the console turning the Batmobile invisible. I pull the two levers above me and I instantly am dropped to the ground landing on top of Willie bouncing off of his gut into a perfect back flip landing on my feet.

I notice the mutagen in his hand. He notices me looking at it. "You want it. Come and get it!"

"You think I am stupid. I think I'll ju--" I cut my sentence off my shooting a batarang at the vile causing it to shatter and sending the mutagen soaking into the ground.

I took care of Inque like this once before. I activate electricity through my hands. "Time for a real shocker!"

I dash towards him quickly turning right to avoid his blow. I turn into a complete circle and slap his head sending hundreds of volts of electricity through his body.

I stand in the air achieving my victory, but then I see nothing but blackness as I feel my body hit the ground.

[Mr. Obsession]

The rising sun's rays reach through the bedroom window, caressing my face. Being both blessed and cursed as a light sleeper, this is enough to wake me. "Much more pleasant than the wake up call. Or being found by Batman..." I let that thought drift off.

A quick call lets the front desk know to cancel my prearranged call, the clerk was a little supprised to hear from me, considering the time I called last night. Still she was polite. I order breakfast, which I'm told shall be up in about half an hour. I also ask her to call a cab to be ready in hour. She say's it will.

I get ready. There is a knock at the door, the boy who delivers my breakfast is earlier than I expected. I tip him a little more generously then I should have and he leaves with a smile.

The toast is still warm, I slather it in butter and a fresh berry mix jelly. I open a small palmtop and call up a map of Gotham. I dust my eggs, scrambled, with salt and pepper.

Noting the locations I plan to visit today, if this morning is a fruitful as I expect, I finish off the eggs and wash it down with fresh pulpy orange juice.

Quickly packing my things, for I plan that by this afternoon I will never set foot in this hotel again.

I arrive in the lobby where I find the cab waiting. Getting in I instruct the driver as to my first location.

[Bird Boy]

OOC: Feel free to object to any of the below, but this may pick up this RPG...Sorry, but I'm gonna have to take over Dana Tan too..nobody's posting anything, so I don't think they'll care.. :) Maybe ab-lib batman for a bit. Hope nobody minds...

IC:

I run as fast as I can away from Batman. Don't want to fight..don't want to fight..

I turn the corner, and look back to see Batman get up again. The person who hit him must've ran away, as he/she isn't there anymore. He takes a different rout...he didn't see me..

"What tha.." I'm in front of the hospital again. How'd I get myself back here? I see a familiar face getting into the car.
"Dana Tan..." I mutter to myself, I see her partents slowly lowering her into the front seat.
I run over to them, and bat them out of the way, Dana screams from inside the car, but I find the keys from her dads pockets and get in.

I slam the car door and turn on the engine.

"Willie! let me out of here!" Dana yells at me. Gutsy move, coming from a just-released hospital patient.

"Relax. I won't kill you...unless you don't cooperate. I want you to take me somplace safe. I want to get out of gotham, and since I was never very social, I don't know what's a hot spot or not. So far, my leads have turned into duds. Help me, and I'll let you go, don't help me..and..well.." I look back into the hospital, "..and you'll be paying a visit there real soon"
She just looks at me...scared now.
"All right..I'll help you." she manages to say.
"Good. where to?"
"Go--" her words are cut short, by the knocking on the window..it's Batman.
"Open up watt."
"Ugh! leave me alone!" I hit the pedals and knock batman down on the road.
"Where to, Dana?"
"Uh..Uh..." she stutters
"I don't have time for this.. Get out" I open up her door with my mind and un-lock her seat-belt, "last warning, or I push you out" She's too scared to move. I don't really want to..but..

I push her out of the door, sending her rolling on the ground. I see the Batmobile in the rear-view-mirror, but stop as he sees Dana fly out. Police cars arrive and he hops back in the batmobile. he guns the engines and speeds ahead. He's suddenly right beside me.
He jumps out of the top hatch and lands on my car. the Batmobile pulls back and goes away into the distance.
"That's it Watt. no more!" he throws two bat-a-rangs through the windshield slicing the seat-belt off of me and the other whizzes over my head, taking off some hair. He reaches through and pulls me out , and throws us both into a tree, and lets the car impact on the railing, sparking the gasoline in the tank and lighting the car in a brilliant display of lights and color---

I feel the punch impact on my face. Daydreaming again watt...gotta stop that.

Batman un-leashes an all out attack on me..I can't even fight back..too weak.. I feel my body hit against a tree, I hear the police sirens in the distance. I lock my eyes on batman, and the last thing I feel is his fist meeting my face.

END.

OOC: If nobody replies to this post, then I'll post again, saying what happened afterwards. if nobody wants to post, then, well, this RPG is officially dead.

-Bird_Boy

[Mr. Obsession]

We pass the building for the fifth time. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to make him squeal in fear. No, calm down. 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...


"Let me out."

"What?" He's shocked.

"It's simple, I want out of this cab. You've circled past that building four times before. You have wasted enough of my time." I take out a cred card and toss it at him. "Keep the change."

Traffic has halted all around us, people screaming and shouting obscenities, they should really learn to control their tempers.

I make my way to the sidewalk, people glare. They are of no concern.

Taking about half an hour I make it to my destination, upon entering the store I see a vid screen with the news. There's a live report about a recent clash between Batman and the Willy Watt on the other side of town.

Looking through the shelves I quickly find what I came for. Yes it will do perfectly.

The clerk looks up from a book he's reading, an old hardbound edition, a rarity these days. The letters G P L are stamped on the side. After paying, I'm able to get directions to my next destination. It shouldn't take me too long now to find the rest of what I need.

[Shriek]

OOC: Action!

BAM! My fist cracks his nose open as a pile of blood pours out. I pull around with a roundhouse kick sending him into a wall. "I've had enough of these little quarrals."

I uppercut him into the tree that he knocked down. I shake both of my hands and electricity is shot out from them. (( OOC: Inqueling. The little shocker hands things.)) "Lights out!" I press the both of my hands on each side of his temple and he instantly falls to the ground.

I deactivate my "shockers" and I feel for a pulse. The pulse is very weak, but he will live. I hand one of the police officers a taser.

"Take this. If he even moves shock him until he is senseless." I let go of the taser as he grabs it.

"Isn't this a little harsh," the cop asks nervously. "There are laws against that."

"He has hurt to many. But I will do this myself." I pick up watt and throw him into the back of the police van. I hop in the cock pit and personally deliever him back to Gotham's New Top Security Pen.

OOC: And thats the end of that chapter. Mr. O? Time for Stalker and Batman

[Bird Boy]

OOC: Looks like Willie's gone bye bye. Hey, Shriek, I give you control of Wayne whenever you need him, if you'll let me do the same w/ Terry/Batman!

IC:

I go around the bat-cave. Looking at the old relics. Remembering the nights..what it was like to be out...such good memories...

Such aweful ones.... I shake my head as I look over to the Robin suit.
The bat-computer flashes it's screen on and turns the news channel on. I press the volume control to UP:

"Early this morning, Willie Watt, former student of Hamilton High, was apprehended by Police today, after Batman gave him a brutal beating. Police are not worried about his condition. He will survive. Batman occompanied them in the police van. It is headed to the new high-security Gotham Prison. More on this as we get it"

Good. Terry aprehended Willie. Now, only Stalker to deal with. I turn my head away from the bat-computer. I hear the batmobile come into the cave. It's empty. No Surprise there. Some minor scraping underneath. Must have gotten to close to the ground.

I sit back down into the bat-computer, and look at the old Bat-suite. I being to day-dream..and drift off into...

END.

OCC: Just in case your wondering, he drifted off to sleep.. :)

-Bird_Boy

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: In a little bit Shriek, I have everything planed out.


ic: I walk down the massive marble steps, looking behind I marvel at the construction of the building. Such beauty from cold, hard stone. Off to the side I notice a kid spray painting, a lack of respect all for his amusement. If I had more time I might beat a lesion into him right here. But time is a precious commodity these days.

Two hours was all it took, all the information I needed has been found. I look down to the package I carry in my arms and smile.

I think about my next move. The first step will be to change hotels. Then at midnight I will shatter his world.

"Tonight the real fun begins."


ooc ((again)): If no one posts anything after this then I will post "phase 2" sometime tomorrow and then the next step will be left up to you Shriek.

[Trent Lane]

hey all, i'd like to join in, but i don't want to mess up the great story you've got going... i'm thinking of creating a new character, i'll post more as i develope it some more...

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: Feel free to start up any time, I was waiting to see if anyone else posted anything before I start phase 2.

If you're going to use an origional character, just give us a little background info on him/her first. Then go wild. :)

[Shriek]

OOC: Then tell phase 2 already. Then I'll post.

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: But I want to make you suffer some more. I guess you talked me into it. :p I'm just going to have to bump the time forward a little.



ic: Standing on top of the Gotham Trade Center I look at my watch, it's midnight, a dense cloud cover blocks out even the moon light, it's almost unnatural. It's also the reason why I picked tonight to put my master plan in to action. It will also allow me the chance for a perfect get away, only the unnatural lighting of the city remains.

I pull a small device out of the box I've been carrying, set it down and align it just so. The battery pack will give it about two hours of power, that's should be more than enough.

Thinking over my plans one last time, everything is perfect, the hour, the weather, the location, everything planned out to the last detail.

I turn on the device and a light floods the sky, an oval with a bat symbol in the center. "That should get his attention." I chose this building to maximize the lights effect, not the tallest building in town, but tall enough to maximize the light by using the cloud cover, there's simply no way he can miss it. And if he does, well than that will be his loss.

I pull out a letter and attach it to the base of the light, there are probably more direct ways to get a message to Batman, but that could jeopardize the plan. I can't have that.

I take one last look around, before I jump off the ledge. "Best hurry Batspirit. I have all the time in the world. You however, do not." And I plunge into the darkness.



ooc: Ok, now this is really the best way I could think of to post my "letter". If you want to read it, read it. If not then move on to the next post. However it's probably in Shriek's best interest to read on. ;)



ic ((sort of)):

"Batspirit,

Or perhaps I should call you T.M.? Yes I know your secret, the other night I must confess that I had no idea of who I was running into. All I wanted was Batman's attention, not a confrontation, at least not yet. But I must thank you, for if you had not been so hasty I would have never been able to discover your secret. After that encounter all it took was a few hours searching through this city's fine public records and I learned everything I would ever need to know about you.

But to get to the point, as you must know I came back to Gotham to claim my 'trophy'. To be honest I haven't quite decided what that will be yet, perhaps I will take your cowl, or carve the bat symbol off your lifeless body. I also wonder what will happen after your death. Will the city morn the passing of a hero, or scorn a vigilante who died attempting to form his own brand of justice. And what of those you will leave behind, I'm sure that you have more than one enemy who would be just as willing to settle for your family, rather than you. Ah, a lovely thought, however, all I want from you is my 'trophy', and I will get it one way or another.

At our last confrontation I noticed that you were wounded, and so I have decided to be sporting. I will give you two nights to rest and on the third we shall come together at midnight on the Wayne Foundation wildlife preserve outside of west Gotham, I believe you know the way. This is where I will take what I desire. But if by some chance you defeat me I shall allow you to claim your own trophy. Also if you should decide to deprive me of my 'trophy' I should inform you that I do know what I will take as a substitute. If you should somehow be as unfortunate as to miss out on our meeting, I shall leave Gotham, and one night, perhaps a week from now, or three months or even several years from now I will return and take the life of someone dear to you. And I shall continue to do so until only you are left, at which point I shall move on to a different prey. Either way, I shall not be denied my trophy.

Do not bother to search the city for me before then. I do not wish to be found, and so I will not be found. I suggest you either rest up for our coming confrontation or spend your remaining days however it is that a man who knows his death is coming does."


ooc (yet again): Phase 2 complete. There you go Shriek :)

[batboy2001]

Across the city, I watch several dillusioned fools pulling off the greatest robbery ever.

Whith me hidding in the darkness off the shadows. No one would look to the shadows.People are afraid of the dark becaus they are afraid of the unnone.

Good they are almost done, it did not take long to put them under my controll.

The lead man out of three aproaches me, fool, I think again. "Here is the bank money boss" good I say, now I must leave before batman gets here. And I fly out into the night on my hoverboard grinning all the way.


I know that wasn't very good but I told you I never played a RPG game before.:o

[Blight]

ooc: Hey, I would like to join the BB RPG as Blight, but i'm not too familiar with RPGs, so could anyone give me some tips? Thanks!

Well, type in first person, and I suggest you read over the pages (the first one is basically nothing but chit chat. doesn't really start till the 2nd part of page 2), and get the jist of whats going on. Come back the way you want to, and such. I'm sure none of us will mind if you screw up the first few times...this was my first RPG, and look how well I am at doing it!!:D

Hehe. Anyway, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it!

[Shriek]

I stand on top of Gotham Towers. The tallest building in Gotham City. I have my head looking down onto the streets. I stare up into the coulds and I am temporaly in shock. I look to the sky in amazement to see the original Bat Signal in the sky. "Spectacular," I say to myself.

I open my wings and nose dive from the ledge of the tower. I extend my arms and I swoop up and glide to the Gotham Trade Center roof. I hop onto the ledge and drop to the roof. I stare around and notice the bat signal. I click on vid link and say, "This is what it felt like? To be called upon. This is an honor."

I walk over to the signal and notice a small letter attached. I snatch the note and begin to read it. "NO!!! I am stupid!" I shout to the world. I place the note in my belt.

In a fast sprint I dive over the ledge of the building. Instantly shooting a grappling hook and swinging safely to the ground. I am only a few blocks from my house. After a quarter mile of running I break into my garage and steal my motorcycle. I quickly ride to the Batcave looking for Wayne.

"Bruce! Bruce!"

[Mr. Obsession]

Welcome Batboy2001 and Blight this thread can definitely use some more characters so we're glad to have you.

You might want to take a look at the rules thread, but the basics are:

1) write in the first person,
2) you can only use another character if you have that player's permission (best way to do fights), &
3) you can have a second character if you feel you can handle two characters well, and if you think you're up to the challenge ask Inque and he'll let you go for a third. But the max. limit for any player in an RPG is three.

And like Bird_Boy suggested, it's a good idea to go back and read through the thread, it's an interesting read ;) and might give you a few pointers.

[batboy2001]

While flying along I begin to think of my master plan. First the money to finance my operation, next the parts to build a machine that will bring this city to its knees.

But what about Batman? Surly he will try to stop me, ah yes I almost forgot about the alterations I made to my suite. Once my plan is complete I will terorize and own Gotham.

Aproaching my lair I set the hoverboard down and enter. I have alot of work to do before I am ready to confront Batman.

[Trent Lane]

okay, i know this may sound stupid, but i submit this for your approval...

you all remember the ninja, from B:TAS. well, my character is his son. i don't have his real name yet, but he'll be called the ninja. he's trained for years, vowing to avenge his father's death, and kill the one he feels is responsible for it, batman. he's got the same abilities as his father, but depends on weaponry a little more, which i'm still thinking of... so, what do you all say?...

[Shriek]

Sounds pretty cool to me? Bird Boy, Mr O???? Whatcha think?

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: Do you mean Kyodai Ken? Sounds good, but based on the time frame your characters going to be in his mid to late 40's (not that there's anything wrong with that ;))


ic: Running along the rooftops using the shadows for cover I take the pre-planed rout that will take me back to my hotel room. I stop, and look back. The signal is still on, either he hasn't made it yet or he never bothered to turn it off. I hope it the latter, the thought that I may have to kill those not worthy of my hands in exchange for Batman disgusts me . In three nights I will have the moment that has filled my dreams for years, the ultimate prey.

On the street below I see two groups charging at each other. One group dressed up like clowns, the other painted white, with red paint across their faces. I can't quite make out the symbol from my vantage point. But I can tell that they're young.

"Children fighting children." That reminds me of the other night, the shock of finding out that my ultimate prey is a child. It almost makes me sick. But still he does have potential and he has suprised me in the past...

I stretch. Perhaps some exercise will do me some good.

Walking back a few yards, I run forward and leap off the ledge. Letting out a battle cry as rush towards the ground and land gracefully in the middle of the brawl. Everyone around me is startled or confused. Perfect.

First I pull out my staff and extend it right through the arm of a clown to my right, retract and extend it again. Spinning it above my head I bring the staff around whacking two of the whites and a clown in the head, they go down.

One clown behind me pulls out a knife, I respond with my own, leaving enough time to startle him as I through it. He cries out in pain as the knife sinks in to his calf.

The rest have backed off and formed a small group, their previous quarrel forgotten. I charge them. Ducking and weaving through their flailing limbs, as quickly as possible I respond to each one expending as little effort as I can.

Less than a minute from when it started I am the last one standing, having yet to even brake a sweat.

I take off again in the direction of the hotel, this distraction proved to be most entertaining. Perhaps tomorrow night another is in order.

[Trent Lane]

yeah, he'll be around 40 or so, but batman (bruce) did pretty well at that age, so i don't think it'll be much of a hurtle for the ninja... i'll put something together and join in asap...

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: Cool, just let us know what you come up with and then post away.

[Blight]

ooc: Here goes! I am Blight!

ic: The ocean waves toss me back and forth. I struggle to swim forward, but the current pulls me back. I look in dismay at the island behind me. I will not go back there! I must return to Gotham! My strength renewed, I push on. I refuse to give up. I swim and swim untill the waves are behind me. I start to relax. The ocean is calm now. Then I realize this in no time to relax, and I start swimming again.

It seems to take nearly half a day, but I manage to make it to Gotham. I reach Gotham Harbor and pull myself up. I lie down on my back gasping, untill I feel ready to get up. I stand up slowly and look up at the night sky, only to see Batman flying by! "Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh!" I scream in rage and start throwing balls of radiation at a wall. The wall explodes in a shower of bricks. A man is watching. The man takes one look at me and runs away, sreaming his head off. I ball my hands into fists. Batman must pay for what he has done to me! He must die!

ooc: There you go! Kind of short, I know, but hey, i'm a beginner! By the way, this is supposed to take palce after Ascension. ( Like you didn't know:rolleyes: ) And yes, I did get the whole island idea from BB #18. Please don't sue me! Anyways, I hope you liked it!

See ya!
Blight

[Bird Boy]

good work blight! exactly like it's supposed to be! As for the ninja thing..I'm cool with that..

Since Inque is like dead, here is a re-cap of characters (and the ppl that have taken them and aren't using them):

Shriek- Terry/Batman
Bird_Boy-Bruce Wayne/ Willie Watt
Blight-Blight
Mr. Obsession-Stalker
flhero311-Ninja man
batboy2001-Spellbinder
Eve*-Ten
PeaceKeeper**-Max Gibson
Dana Tan* -Dana Tan
nightwing_38116-Dick Grayson
FlyingGrayson-Hawk (Custom Character)

They last 5 listed are dormant. FlyingG, and N_38116 are still alive as far as I know, they just seem to have forgotten about the RPG!
*-Disappeared
**-Banned

So, there is the re-cap. I'll post later as Wayne...McGinnis has to actually get into the cave before anything can really go on..:)

-BB

[Trent Lane]

I sit in a small motel room on the east side of Gotham, a place of many thieves and low lifes. I light some candles and prepare to meditate. I've come to Gotham for revenge. My father, the original Ninja, fought Batman for the last time about 35 years ago. My father died that night. I was just a small child then, but vowed the Batman would pay for what he had done. I trained for many years in Tokyo under a ninja assasian. He taught me all forms of hand to hand combat and how to use many different types of weaponry. Now, with the reappearance of the Bat, I'm ready to finally confront him. I knkw this new Batman isn't the one responsible for my father's death, but he will lead me right to him. Finished meditating, I look out the window. The signal of the bat shines on the clouds. I put on my black shirt and mask, grab my battle staff, and proceed toward the light in hopes of finding the Batman...

ooc: well, there you go. a little background as to why this guy's here. this is my first time in an rog, so i hope you all like it...

[Shriek]

"What?" Wayne shouts. "What is it?"

I dash in crying, huffing, and trying to speak clearly. "Stalker! He wants a battle. Have to.... Matt.. Dana.. Mom.. out of town. Out of the country." I hand Wayne the letter.

He skims over the letter. "My god! This is the battle. The main battle between the both of you. You cannot go on with this. I won't allow it."

I begin to talk as I catch my breath. "What are we going to do about this? I can't leave me family around. They will get hurt."

"Bruce? You KNOW I have to face him! Once and for all." I stare and wait for the old man's response.

But the old man's face turns sad and he turns away in disbelief. He walks towards his old Bat Suit. He takes a good long look at it.

I sit in awe during the silence. Five minutes later he turns around and says, "Take that suit off. It's time you get some REAL Repairs and and upgrades."

Bruce walks to the batcomputer and up comes a red blinking light. The map shows the bleeping dot near Gotham Harbor. Bruce shakes his head in disbelief.


((Bird Boy Jump On This Pronto))

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: Nice Shriek. I can't wait to see those upgrades in action. ;) I also think it's great that more people are getting involved in the RPG.

But the real reason I'm posting is I was wondering if anyone would care if I take Barbara Gordon as well. Stalker can't always be in the RPG after all.

Oh, and can someone give me an overview of BB #18, I know it had Stalker and Blight in it, I’ve just never read it, and Blight is using it to bring in his character.

[Shriek]

Well you can take her. Go for it

And in issue 18 Stalker came and got Batman. And told him about Blight being back. He was found on an island and forgot all about him being Powers. He was just Blight. But he only remembered to kill Batman. And then towards the end they fought and remembered stuff.

Ask BLight to fill you in better.

[Trent Lane]

ooc: this'll be short, just to catch up, anyway...

I arrive at the signal, still lit, but no sign of the Batman. I moved too slowly, i thought to myself. I decided in order to find the Bat, I must commit myself more than I already have. I proceed back to my motel, where I will get my last good night of sleep before committing myself full time to hunting down Batman. Before leaving the rooftop, I pull out three ninja stars and throw them into the light, removing the signal from the night sky. Tomorrow, the search begins...

ooc: just to move things on. i hope the signal hadn't already been turned off, cause that would make this whole post a waste...

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: Thanks, I just thought it might help if I knew something about the issue because odds are that Stalker and Blight are going to run into each other at some point or another.

ic:

Barbara Gordon

It's late and I can't sleep. Thinking back over the last few days. I had now idea that Willy could even pull something like that. But after Batman beat Watt to kingdom come, gotta talk to the kid about that, all traces of the mind control vanished. The hospital wanted to keep me under observation for a few days. I've still got friends in high places. All I had to do was convince them that I'd take it easy for a few days, but that will never happen, not with my luck.

The phone rings.

"Hello."

"Barb have you seen the news yet?"

"Hold on Steve," I click on the vid screen, "what channel?"

"Pick anything local, it's all they've been playing."

*news report*"...and tonight much of downtown Gotham was shaken by the reemergence of a forgotten Gotham Icon, the Batsignal..."

I feel sick. "Steve what the hell is going on?"

"I don't know Barbara. Someone got there before we could shut it down. At least we beat the press there. So far we've just told them that the department had nothing to do with it and that so far all evidence points to a prank."

"Good. Tell the press that I'll make an official statement soon, I doubt this was any prank."

"So do I, but we've got to tell them something. And I don't need to tell you that the mayor's office has been screaming at us for the last two hours over this."

"Thanks Steve, I deal with this tomorrow."

I hang up and think for a moment. Sam looks over at me, concern in his eyes.

I pick up the phone and dial. After the customary three rings. "Hello."

"Bruce, it's Barbara. Tell the kid we need to talk. I'll be over in ten minutes."

As I put the phone down I know Sam is going to protest, given the time and everything I've been through in the last few days. But before he can I kiss him. I've always known how to catch him off guard.

And I head out the door.

ooc: You got in before me flhero311, have to learn to type faster. No harm done, I just edited my post.

[Blight]

ic: I start to walk. I feel as if I haven't walked on a street for years. And maybe it has been years. That thought makes me even angrier. Suddenly I see someone on a hovercycle talking to an old lady, "Good, now hand it to me" I hear the costumed man say. I have seen this man on TV before. I know his name is Spellbinder. I decide to take my anger out on him. I grab him from behind and throw him onto the ground. "Hey!" he says as he hits the sidewalk. I grab him by the neck and lift him up into the air. "Who are you?" he asks. "Me? I am Blight!" I respond. Radiation starts to run out the tips of my fingers and through Spellbinder's body. "Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" he screams as I electrocute him. Once I get bored, I toss him away. I turn to the old lady. She looks at me, trembling, "Uh, thanks" she says nervously. "I didn't do it for you, lady" I say as I start to walk away, "I did it for me"

ooc: There ya go! I promise i'll make it longer next time.

See ya!
Blight

[Mr. Obsession]

I walk through the halls of Wayne manor. I haven't seen Ace, yet. Not that that means anything. He hasn't barked at me in years. They should all be down in the cave.

I walk up to the old clock, open the front and pull the small lever just out of sight, one of about three ways to get into the cave without setting of any number of alarms and traps. The clock slides silently out of the way. And I walk down the stairs.

"Hello Barbara." The only acknowledgment I get from Bruce. I don't even think Ace heard me coming. I bet he was counting down the time in that damn head of his.

Terry and Bruce are standing over a table working on the suit, I can't tell quite what they're doing and a part of me doesn’t care.

"Ok I'll start. Kid would you mind telling me why between You, Watt, and Stalker you've been turning my streets into a war zone over the last three nights?"

Terry looks at me, his worried... and scared? I've never seen him like this. Without saying a word he hands me a letter. As I read all the anger towards Terry drains.

"All right Terry he's all yours. Just bring him in alive when this is over. I want him in Arkam when this is over. And God help me if you bring back a corpse I see that you take his place there."

[batboy2001]

Okay, sorry to interupt but, maybe I shouldn't be Spellbinder. I just don't see how he is going to fit in to all of this. What if I am Mr. Freeze, that might work better since Blight joined in as Blight, there could be a fight or I could rain teror down on Gotham.

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: If you want to be Freeze that's ok with me, just as long as you can come up with a decent back story as to how he survived the collapse of that Wayne-Powers building. Since many of us believe he died in it. But like I said, come up with a decent reason for how he survived and I don't think anyone will complain.

What do you say Shriek, Bird_Boy?

[Bird Boy]

whatever anybody wants to be..is fine with me...I'll even let them be that freaky thing Dr. Cuvie became in "Splicers"...

-BB

[Shriek]

As long as everyone has fun and the plot makes sense that is fine with me..

One thing though Mr O., Wasn't Arkham destroyed? I remember in ROTJ Barbara said it was moved to a higher more secured facility. Does that mean it still exists just at a higher level??

[Shriek]

I look at the commissioner. "Thank you. I will bring him back in one piece."

"Is their a way I can get my family out of town?" I sadly ask.

"Y------," She is cut off by Bruce.

"No! They will ask to many questions. If you are Batman you will face the fact that you have to make sacrifices to save this city. And besides. I have a feeling you will have the advantage." Bruce states.

"Plus we have bigger problems anyways," He adds. "Gotham Harbor has a radiation leak."

"Smugglers?" I ask. "I better check out what they want the chemicals. I dash over to the display case. And I open it up and take out the spare Bat suit.

I throw the suit on at jet over to the Batmobile hangar. I power up the engines and jet off into the night sky towards the harbar. "I should be there in less than a few minutes," I say to myself.

I fly above the scene and the Batmobile radiation readings are off the chart. CLICK CLICK CLICK is all I hear. I stare down onto the ground and I notice a glowing green light. Great. That man is covered in radioactive waste.

I drop from the Batmobile and slowly glide down. On my descent I notice that it is BLIGHT! "NO! It can't be." I do a backflip and land behind a trash can. I place my hand on my utility belt. And twist the knob. What the heck. That's right. This suit doesn't have cloak mode.

"Well. Looks like you go up." I grapple up to the roof and crouch down on the ledge staring at Blight.

[Mr. Obsession]

ic: Barbara Gordon

I watch Terry take off in the Batmobile, and realize that I'm alone with Bruce. Looking at my watch I think about the time. I'm getting to old for this.

"Bruce, I'm going back home for the night. Sam's going to have a fit if I don't get back soon. Tell the kid to stop by my office tomorrow afternoon, I should be able to come up with at least a few more options for him by then."

Looking around the cave, my eye catches my old costume, and I look away. I walk up the long stairs and go home.


ooc: ((insert edit)) well since Terry did tell Cuvie to consider some R&R in Arkham back in "Splicers", I'm assuming that it's still around.

[Trent Lane]

After a long night of sleep, I gather the materials I need and leave the hotel on my HoverCycle. I decide the best way to find the Batman is to get a better veiw of the city from one of the taller office building in the city. The building that best suited my needs was the main Foxtecha office. Seeing that climbing the building would be too time consuming, I decided to take the main elevator to the observation deck. Though it was now closed for the night, I had a way to get in. I slinked through the lobby, gassed the security guard, and proceeded up the elevator.

The observation deck gave a spectacular view of the city- but the Batman was no where to be found. I searched everywhere with my binoculars and found no trail of him. As I was about to leave, I saw something flash across the sky, making a quiet humming sound as it passed. Batman? Not too many people could have a vehicle such as that. Knowing I had to follow now, I jumped off the ledge of the building towards building just below the ledge, running across the rooftops after the one who could lead me to the one responsible for the death of my father...

ooc: not very strong, but i'm trying to keep it intresting and with the story. see you next post...

[Shriek]

I must say I love the idea of the Ninja. Way Schway! Keep it up.

[Trent Lane]

thanx. i appreciate the feedback. i look forward to developing this character further...

[Blight]

ic: I continue to trudge along the sidewalk. So many thoughts fill my head. I'm not sure what to do, now that i'm back in Gotham. But I do know one thing. I must kill Batman. Suddenly, I realize i'm standing next to a familiar building. I look up and see the words Wayne/Powers. I cry out in rage as I remeber Paxton. I must kill him as well! I start to continue walking, when I feel someone watching me. I look up to the very top of Wayne/Powers and see a head leaning over the roof of the building. I realize who it is at once. The pointy ears give it away. It's Batman! I scream in rage and start hurling balls of radiation at the roof. I hear Batman cry out as the radiation smashes apart the wall just under Batman. Batman tumbles off. He tries to glide away, but pieces of the roof hit him in the back. He lands in a dumpster close to me. I grab him by the neck and pull him to his feet. I put my face close to his. "Now Batman, you will die" I say to him as I tighten my grip on his throat.

See ya!
Blight

[Trent Lane]

I follow the Bat as he makes his way to another part of the city. I see him drop to a ledge of another building, a Wayne/Powers building. Wayne, Wayne... why does that name sound so familiar? My train of thought is broken by an explosion just under the Batman. He falls as green objects are hurled toward him. As he glides down, I lose sight of him and decide to move in for a closer look. When I get there, I find a green glowing man with his hand around the neck of the Bat. I didn't need the Batman dead, so I decided to try to take on this... thing. With that, I drew my vibrosword and jumped toward the glowing man...

[Blight]

ic: Radiation starts to run from my fingertips, around Batman's neck. Suddenly I feel someone's feet hit me in the back. I loose my grip on Batman and fly forward, smashing into a wall. I pull myself up and look behind me. I can see Batman on the ground, and standing next to him is a man holding a vibrosword. The man jumps at me, his sword nothing more than a blur. I jump backward and feel the tip of his sword graze my chest. I'm knocked off balance by the sword and hit the ground hard. "You fool!" I say, enraged, "Do you really think you can kill Blight?!". I start to hurl radiation at the ninja man. The radiation slams into his chest and he flies backward, smashing through a brick wall. In no more than a few seconds, the ninja jumps back through the hole, seemingly unfazed. I stare at him in disbelief. Then I realize he's clutching his chest. But the pain doesn't seem to matter to him. He leaps forward and trips me with his leg. I look up to see him raising his sword, ready to slam it into my chest.

See ya!
Blight

[Bird Boy]

OOC: Sorry for the delayed reactions guys. I didn't see the posts...sorry! :(

IC (Bruce Wayne):

I watch Terry hop into the batmobile and fly off into the night. What memories I have of doing that...

"Bruce, I'm going back home for the night. Sam's going to have a fit if I don't get back soon. Tell the kid to stop by my office tomorrow afternoon, I should be able to come up with at least a few more options for him by then."

Barbara snaps me out of my memories with that. I nod.

She moves to the exit and pauses in front of her suit..stops for a moment then leaves.

I go around the cave..looking at everything. Scarface...Harleys Costume... Riddlers Costume........MY costume.

I shake my head. This is the present...not the past. I have to stop dwelling on what things once were.

I go over to the bat-computer and flip some switches. I press the commlink switch to "ON".

"You there?"

Static comes through. Right..it's still broken. I begin repairing the connection. Could take minutes....hours..or days. Depends on how bad it is.
I find the problem about 15min later. Loose wires. I reconnect them and the computer flashes "CONNECTION RE-ESTABLISHED".
"Lets try this again"
"You there?"
static comes through. Wait..that's not static... thats...

I hear people on the other side...

"You fool!" I here a man say, "Do you really think you can kill Blight?!"

BLIGHT? How did he survive? That doesn't matter now.

"Answer me!" I yell into the commlink.I only hear moaning. Blight isn't paying attention to Terry...there is another there.

How can I figure out who is there?
I think for a moment...how stupid could I be? The vid-link. I switch it on.

Great. McGinnis is facing the ground. I'll just have to wait.

END.

Ok, that was really pointless..lol. But I felt I should post. just so you guys don't think I left! :)

BTW- Blight and flhero..I love how your getting the story moving along! I can't wait for it to pick up even more!

-BB

[Trent Lane]

The blast through the wall was painful, but not enough to keep me down. I jump out of the hole I punched in the wall and draw my sword toward the glowing man again. As I'm about to strike, I see the Bat stumbling away, obviously injured from the attack. I look down at the glowing man.

"I will spare you... this time." I draw a tracer from my bag and toss it toward the Batman. I hits him on his back without him knowing. Perfect. Now I can find his base of operations, and hopefully the one responsible for the death of my father. For now, though, I must retreat and clean these burns left by the glowing man. Then, I will finally confront the Batmen...

ooc: hope this fits in, kinda spur of the moment writing.

[Shriek]

The mass confusion I am going through. These two are obviously ememies. "Bruce. I have to get out of here." I start crawling away. I break out into a mad dash limping to safety. I throw ten gas balls into the fighting scene. I jet off into the night sky.


((This was prolly the shortest post I ever made. But I have a fever and am not feeling well... So BB can you take over for awhile??))

sure man. Dunno what the take over needs to be..unless you want me to take over McGinnis for a bit. Hope ya feel better!

OCC (Bruce):

Waiting for Terry to get up off the ground is a boring job...then again---

movement on the screen..

"Bruce. I have to get out of here." crackles over the speaker

"Terry? Where are you? What's going on?"

"I...I...no time now...Blight...Ninja dude... "

"Ninja?"
"I'll explain later..the radiation...geesh..it burns.."

I hear the batmobile jets boost up.

"Terry. What about the ninja?"

"Ninja...he...-----" the commlink goes out again

"Terry? Terry??.....Ugh!" I slam my fist down on the computer.

I sit down in the chair. The computer screen flips on
"Car entering the cave"

The batmobile slids into the batcave and lands smoothly...a little too smoothly. He must have it on auto-pilot.

The cockpit opens and he stumbles out onto the cave floor

"Blights back...." he mutters
"I know. I heard him"
Terry trys to stand up, but falls back down onto the floor.

I go over to pick him out..he's out. I set him up on the table and let him rest.

END.

Sorta lame..but..eh..oh well... :)

-BB

[Trent Lane]

I crouch down by my HoverCycle and pull out some bandages and cleaner. I dab my burns with the cleaner, it stings, but I can take it. Seeing as my shirt has been ruined, I'm forced to use my amplifier suit, which slightly increases my speed and vulnerability. As for strength, that is of no matter. I pick up my hand held tracer screen and turn it on. The signal has stopped by the coastline, north of here. Perfect. I get on my Cycle and proceed toward my targets. The signal brings me to a mansion on top of a cliff. I come to a gate with a "W" on it. I pull my Cycle into the bushes and scale the wall surrounding the mansion. I steadily run up the path to the front of the house. I punch the door open and enter the house. Quiet, almost too quiet. I look through the dark home and see no one's presence. I flip down the infared scanner on my mask and search the place. Again, nothing. Then without warning, I'm hit from behind. A dog has me pinned, with his razor sharp teeth bared...

ooc: if you're in charge of terry, bb, see what you can do with this...

[Bird Boy]

IC (Bruce):

I begin to repair the suit after Terry wakes up and slips it off. Always repairing this thing.

I look down at Ace and he immediatly bolts off up into Wayne Manor. The Bat-computer flashes on a silet "Intruder Alert" alarm.

I look at Terry.

"Right..I'll go check it out" he says when he sees the look on my face.

Terry slips on the other suit. I watch him run up the steps. I make my way over to the computer and flip on the cameras. I see Ace slam the man from behind...

END BRUCE.

IC (Terry):

Geesh..I no sooner wake up, and I have to go fight again. Ah well. I slip on the suit and run up the steps to see where that mutt went to.

Bruce's voice crackles over the speaker. "I know how he got here. There is a tracer on your suit. It's gone now. Get rid of him..."

"Right."

"Wait.." Bruce says real quick, "..Let Ace have some fun with him first"

I smile. "All right. I'll go into stealth mode"

I twist the knob on the suit and go invisible. I make my way over to where the man lies. Ah..it's the Ninja.. I think I can take him.

Ace senses me and backs off. The Ninja's already bleeding. Ace had his fun..I can telll. the mask is in shreds.

"Uhhhh" the Ninja moans.

I pick him up from his back and he immediatly kicks me in the gut. I fly backwards.

"did you think I didn't hear you? I'm trained well you know. You'll never kill m---" his words stop as I connect my foot with his face. He stumbles backwards.

"Didn't hear me that time" I say..I'm enjoying this.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Ninja yells as he charges at me...or where he thinks I'm at anyway.

As he approaches me, I move out the way, and slam him in the back of the neck with my fist and he slams into one of Wayne's old cement statues.

After the ninja finally gets up and moves away from the statue, I see that it's no longer gray...but gray and red.

"Had enough?" I taunt him. I love how I can fight with the stealth mode on.

"No. I don't want you anyway. I wan't the REAL Batman"

Oh how I tire of hearing that. They don't think I'm as good as him because I'm not the original.

"I'm the closest Bat your getting. The real one died years ago." I lie. He's not getting near Wayne. No way Wayne could fight him.

"Is that so?" The Ninja replies. He saw through my lie. "Well then.."

I'm sick of talking. I un-stealth and run up to him and belt the blood out of his face. Before I know it, Ace is barking at me to put him down. The Ninja's un-concious. He won't be awake for quite awhile.

I flip him over the shoulders and carry him down into the cave. Wayne looks at me.
"You didn't have to do that to him, did you?
"No.." I reply, "But he was annoying me"
Wayne smirks.
I carry the ninja over to the batmobile and throw him in. I hope in and take off.

I go through the supplys he has on his suit. It take everything out and throw it down into the ocean.

I put a raft around him so he doesn't drown..I wouldn't if it wasn't for Wayne..it's not like we really need another psycho-path running around gotham.

I throw him out into the ocean and watch him bob up and down.

I throw the controls down and boost off to the cave. I have to prepare for my fight with Stalker....and maybe Blight.

END.

OOC: ok, I don't think I did anything out of line. Shriek, hope ya feel better, and let me know what you think of it!

-BB

[Trent Lane]

I wake up in the water, and come back up, gasping for air. I hear the Batman fly away in his vehicle. What happened? How could I have been so unprepared for this? All my years of training, all that time to get beat by some punk kid. Well, I underestimated the boy Batman. I noticed he cleaned me of my weapons, but I still had a small knife tucked into my right boot. I took it out and cut the liversaver off of me. I swam back to the peirs of Gotham, and pulled myself up onto the ground. I walked up to a window to inspect myself. Pitiful. It looks as if I should have added a strength factor into the suit. At least it would have let me be some competition for him. I go to a VidPhone and dial up my Gotham connection.

"Hello, Kim?" I ask.
"Yes, Kago. What can I do for you?" she replied.
"I need another suit. My run-in with the Bat was unsucessful. How long will it take you to construct a better one?" I ask.
"Give me three days. I should have it then," she replies and hangs up. Good, three days to rest and research the identity of the real Batman. I know that was his home, I just need to figure out who lives there. That can wait till tomorrow. Right now, I must rest and tend to my wounds...

ooc: wow, bb, you're pretty brutal :) this story is just starting to get intresting, though... :rolleyes:

[Shriek]

If you think that's Brutal. Give me a day and see what I do to Mr. Obsession!! ;)

[Trent Lane]

good to have you back, shriek. i can't imagine what you've got in store for the stalker, but you and bb have made batman a lot darker, which i'm totally in favor of. back to bruce's style, somewhat...

[Mr. Obsession]

Bring it on punk! :)


Stalker's going to spank Batman like a 4 year old at K-Mart.

[Trent Lane]

I wake up the next morning and feel very sore. It was good, though- more motivation to come back harder at that boy. I got up and streched as much as I could in my small hotel room. I finished up and proceeded to start my research. I only had a few things to go on. One, the man I am really after has the letter 'W' in his name, seeing as it was on the gate, it must be his last name. Two, this is a rich man. To live in a castle of a housse like that, he would have to be. Other than that, I have nothing. I know almost nothing about his replacement boy. Is he a son, grandson? Maybe some relative? I decide to take a taxi back toward the Batman's house to retrive my Cycle, nothing more. I was in no condition to fight. The driver drove me there, but looked suspitious the whole time. We finally arrived, and ne turned around at the gate. I handed him a Cred card, and started out of the taxi. The driver grabbed my arm.

"Hey, buddy!" he shouted at me. "What's your business with Mister Wayne? He's a decent man and he don't need no trouble makers loitering on his property."

WAYNE! That's it! The man who owns half of the skyline of Gotham. It's so clear to me now. His riches suply all those gadgets and fancy equipment.

"Oh, nothing. I..." Before I finished, I pinched a caplet of amnesia gas in his face. "You'll be on your way now. Thank you."

"You're welcome," he replied, shaking his head as he drove away. I grabbed my HoverCycle and took off down the road. You better watch your back, Wayne. I know your secret...

ooc: i just finished a drawing on the new costume for the ninja. as soon as i can get my scanner running, i'll post it so yall can see what you're up against... :D

[Mr. Obsession]

Barbara Gordon

I didn't sleep well and Sam noticed, he always does. Just one of the many things I love about him. He also seems to be able to look rested no matter how late I keep him awake, tossing and turning, of course he loves to rub that fact in my face.

Sam left early today, something about a case against one of the higher ups in the Tong. I usually try to pay more attention to his work, I've just got so much going on lately.... Willy... Stalker... reports of Blight showing up in town....

I grab some cold toast and instant coffee and rush out to my car.

Traffic is unusually light, I'm not too suprised, with all the night activity these days.

Looking at the reports on my desk. Officer Tolar finally woke around 3 am, and the medical report says that his hand will be fine. Steve thinks he was either lucky that Stalker's vibro knife hit just so that it went between the bones and missed anything else major, or that Stalker is just good. I don't know what to believe these days. Tolar and Haspes both ID'd Stalker. A medical report on Willy Watt, looks like he'll be eating everything through a straw for about a month, gotta talk to the kid about that, and looking at the report that should put him just in time for his 18th birthday. I make a note to have psychoanalysis done on Watt, the sooner I can get him committed to Arkham, the better. A report on a clash between Batman, Blight, and an unidentified stranger along with an estimate on the total property damage. A note from Steve reminding me that I still have to make a press statement abut the Batsignal from the other night and a reminder that I have a meeting with the mayor at 11. A report on a street fight between some Jokerz and T's which ended in a bloody mess. Stalker was ID'd.

Which reminds me, I was going to try to come up with some options for Terry. Regardless of what Bruce may think he isn't always right. I call up Stalkers file on my computer and suddenly it feels like I've been hit with a brick right between the eyes.

I look up a number I hoped I'd never have to use again and wait for the other line to pickup.

ooc: Sorry if that seemed a little jumpy, just trying to keep things moving along, and since flhero311 kindly moved us forward I just picked up the best I could.

[Shriek]

SUSPENSE!! Mr. O. Who is the number?

[Mr. Obsession]

That would ruin the suprise now wouldn't it? ;) Let's just say it's part of a little something I've been cooking up. You'll find out what it is if and when you can get Terry to that meeting with Gordon.

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: What the heck, because Shriek asked so nicely, here I go...

ic: Barbara Gordon

The mayor is a complete idiot. I'm fuming, officers scramble to get out of my way. First he rips into me about my department working with Batman, but he's right I have been showing more open support to Batman. I respond about how this isn't my father's department. Then he made a few choice comments about my father and the way he ran things. And to top it off he dropped the bomb that my budget is looking at a cutback. Cutting the budget is not the way to keep us from becoming dependent on Batman. He'll probably change his tune in three months when he's looking for support for re-election.

I slam the door to my office and sit down, I'm tempted to bang my head against the desk right now it would probably be the most effective thing I can do.

There's a knock at the door. "What."

Terry opens it, he must have been standing outside, I didn't even see him. He's getting better.

"Sorry Terry, come in." He closes the door and I gesture to a chair in front of my desk.

"Ok Terry, I've been thinking about this and Bruce is wrong. I can get you're family into a safe house for the next few days with some officers I know who won't ask questions. There are two downsides to this. First, I can only do this for your family, so if you want I can put some undercover units on surveillance on Dana."

He's sad, he looks worn out, that line of work will do that to you. "And second?"

"Second", I respond, "if I do put your family in a safe house it's going to raise some questions as to why you're not there at night, especially from your mother." I don't know if he's even expecting this. "If you want to go with this plan you may have to let your mother know about your night life."

I let him digest that. Terry doesn’t say anything. I don't know how I'm going to tell him the bad news. Straight and blunt as usual I guess.

"And now the bad news Terry, Stalkers record has been wiped clean."

"WHY?! HOW!?" He angry, angrier then I've ever seen him.

"Settle down, Stalkers record had the NSA stamp on it. A few hours ago I got off the phone with our good friend Agent Bennet. It seems that in exchange for Stalkers help in the plague incident a few months back the NSA cleaned his record. And it gets worse, Stalkers been running a some other 'choirs' for the NSA and none of my contacts will even let me know what they were, let alone what Stalker got in return."

ooc: Take it away Shriek!

[Shriek]

"Chores," is all I can manage to say. "Why would the NSA want to use Stalker anyways? I doubt he is trustworthy."

"Well I don't know that either. It seems ever since that plague incident this poucher has been an errand running free man." Barbara tells me.

"And about the safe house. I say no. I will not lose. Not with the tricks Bruce have up his sleeves."

She interrupts me, "What types of gadgets?"

I force a smirk and reply in my Batman voice, "You'll see!" I stand and thank her for her time. I make my way over to the door. I open it and exit her office. I make my way down the stairs onto the sunny streets of Gotham. I slap on a pair of sunglasses and walk over to my bike.

I kickstart it and rev the engine and pull off down the street heading towards the Batcave.

[Trent Lane]

Now that I have found the identity of the original Batman, I decide to take it easy for a day. But before I do, I decide to take care of a little business. I go to Gotham's Chinatown and walk down a dark alley. I see someone move in the shadows. Another boy, this one with his face painted up.

"How 'bout some change, mister?" he says to me.

"I don't think so," I reply. With that, he attempts an attack on me. Bad move. I grab his arm, pull in back till I hear a snap, kick his legs out fromunder him, and pinned him on the ground. He let out a moan and passed out. A common street punk. I walk on down the alley and knocked on a door. A person looked out, saw who I was, and let me in.

"Kago, are you well?" Kim asked me.

"Yes," I replied. "I came to see how you were doing on the suit."

"Well, you'll be very pleased. We've researched what we can about the Batman's suit, and have come up with some modifications that will at the least make you his equal. You still have the speed and invulnerability, and we've added strength to it. We've also built you some weapons into the suit. The ninja stars have an electric current you can use to... stun the Batman when it is needed. This VibroSword is more lightweight and effective than ever before. This time, you should have no problem defeating the Batman."

"No. I do not intend to defeat the 'Batman' of today, but the one of yesterday," I cut in. And if the boy does get in my way, I'll despose of him with ease. With that, i bow to Kim and leave the backroom. After I pick up the finished suit tommorow, vengence will finally be mine....

[Bird Boy]

OOC: Why don't we start Dating our posts? so we know what time it is.. (I got the idea from the Batman RPG..so sue me! :))

So, uh..I'm not sure what to do.. what day did the Gordon/McGinnis discussion take place? I was going to post (and I had it ready to post), but, I realized we aren't in the same places anymore. So, Lets get organized, then we should be able to all post w/o confusion (ok..so maybe it's just me who will be able to post w/o confusion..I don' think anybody else had a problem..lol).

-BB

[Shriek]

Let's say Blight and Spellbinder came Tuesday night. And everything else we went through happened Wensday.

So starting right now the time is 5:00 P.M. on Wednesday.

Ok with everyone?

[Mr. Obsession]

Sounds good to me. I’ll probably go back and re-read the thread.

Hmm... If we're on Wednesday around 5pm then wouldn't that make Thursday night the big night Shriek?

[Trent Lane]

ooc: sorry, guys, i kinda pressed forward a little TOO much. i'll get my part back in line and post something after a while. so, i guess as of the last part of my post w/ the ninja, it is now Wednesday, 5:00 PM. cool?

[Shriek]

Everything is good Fhero. No problem at all.

Thursday is the big night for Stalker and Batman. And then after words...... if Batman survives.... Blight and Spellbinder enter the scene.

[Trent Lane]

ooc: and coming soon: the return of the ninja! i'll get that pic up soon as i can...

BTW, does anybody have a problem with me picking up Max since she isn't being used?

[Shriek]

Take her. God please take her!

[Mr. Obsession]

Shriek, the problem is you didn't specify how far away from the RPG he should take Max. :p

Go ahead, have fun playing with Max.

[Blight]

ooc: Okay, i'm back guys! The reason I didn't post for about a week is because my computer had to be taken in for upgrades, and it took a whole week. Anyways, I've got some catching up to do, but i'm gonna start where I left off last time.

ic: I slowly get to my feet. I stare up in anger at the retreating figure of the ninja man. I must find a way to pay him back! If it wasn't for him, Batman would be dead now! I decide enough is enough. I will crush the entire city if that is what is takes to bring Batman to me! I quickly hurry to a TV station.

I find my way there out of a sudden burst of memory. I stop at the door and blast it open. Two guards run at me and I blast them both through a wall. I run into an elevator and take it to the top floor. The door opens into a room with about twenty people in it, all staring at computer screens. The people take one look at me and quickly run out of the room. One person stays behind and leaps at me. I grab the fool and throw him out the window. "Happy landings!" I call down to him. I laugh to myself and walk to a computer. I quickly type in commands to broadcast my message live, throughout televisions in all of Gotham. My glowing face appears on all the TV moniters in the room. I begin my message: "Batman" I say into the microphone, "This is Blight. You know me, you know what I can do, so know this. If you do not come to me willingly, I will tear my way through all of Gotham, killing everyone in sight! I will destroy the entire city if I have to! Just come to the Television station in East Gotham. And bring my wretched son Paxton! If you do not do this whithin twelve hours, I will crush this city with all my rage! I'll be waiting." I switch off the conection and smile to myself. Everthing is falling into place. Soon, I will have my revenge!

See ya!

[Shriek]

Thursday. 12:03 A.M.


I throw a chair at the cave wall. "Damn!" I scream in rage. "Twelve hours to deal with Stalker, Blight, and this Ninja. I need some help. I can't do this all. I am just one man."

Bruce gives me a glare and says, "You are know ordinary man. You are BATman. This means you are able to think and react better than anyother man out there."

I stare into his old eyes wondering why he ever quit his nights on the job. I know they meant so much to him. "I need a suit."

He tosses me the new suit. And describes it. He begins, "Enhanced strength, faster batarangs, stronger jets, a better com/vid link. And most important, This pole I designed for the Stalker. Take it with you. It can contract into only 6 inches and hang on your belt. When it extends it can reach 6 feet."

"Blight is the only one I have to worry about at the moment. And I have an idea. I think I'll put him on ice." I leap into the cockpit of the Batmobile and take off into the night sky towards metropolis.

After about 20 minutes of flying I reach S.T.A.R. Labs. I drop onto the roof. I notice the large amounts of security gaurding the Ice Project. I look at signs that say anyone looking suspicious will be shot on site. This has got to be it.

Ice Project: A small ball the size of a pinball made up of Nitrous Oxide and other freezable matter cobine to form a super atom. If this is dropped on the target, everything will be frozen within a radius of 100 yards.

"All I know is. Blight can't melt his way out of this. The only way to unfreeze someone is direct heat from a Potassium Compound. Well Batman, here goes nothing."

I point my hand down at the ledge of the roof and shoot a grapple into it. I leap off the roof swinging down 3 stories through the large glass windows. I trip every single security alarm.

I barrel roll through the dropping security doors. I bash a few military guards to the ground. I bring around my left leg into a roundhouse kick smashing the glass around the pellet. I place the pellet into its lead carrying case and pocket it.

"There he is. Get him! Kill him. Slag him!" The guards shout. Twelve different guns shoot at me.

"I can't keep this up forever," I say to myself as I run across the walls. "Enhanced strength don't fail me now!" I shout as I crash through the window falling to the ground. With my right hand I flip a button on my belt and the Batmobile instantly catches me.

As I adjust myself into the cockpit I place a call to Blight. I come up on every vid screen in the television station. "Blight! Cops are on there way. But its time to have some fun with you!" I flip a few switches in the batmobile and 3 sidewinder missles are launched into the television station office that he is occupying.

That's what he gets for killing my dad. "Let's see what this suit can really do!"

I fly around the corner of the office building swooping down onto the highway 4 miles away. "I have to get ready for Stalker." I look down at the pellot I just stole.

[Blight]

ic: I sit in a chair in the office, waiting for Batman, when suddenly his very face appears on the moniters. "Blight!" Batman says, "Cops are on their way. But it's time to have some fun with you!" I stare in shock as the moniters switch off. Then, without warning, three missiles crash through the wall! I jump aside and the missiles hit the computer console. The force of the explosion blows me right through the wall and I hurtle towards the ground. I blast radiation at the ground. It creates a hole in the street and I fall through into the sewer. I pull myself out of the water and back onto the street. I watch as the television station explodes. I hear an engine rumbling and look up to see the Batmobile flying off. I scream in rage and shoot a gigantic blast of radiation at the retreating Batmobile. The blast hits the back of the vehicle and blows it in two. The bottom half explodes and the half with Batman in it hurtles toward the ground, quickly picking up speed as it falls. I smile to myself. Now this will finally end, and Batman will die!

See ya!
Blight

[Shriek]

The car shakes and I fall through the car floor. I crash land onto the street. I hop to my feet. I examine the new suit. "Not a scratch!"

I shoot two bolas at Blights left and right arms sending his arms tying behind him. I jet at him and drop kick him. He hurdles to the ground. I pick him up and uppercut him. The suit's radiation levels aren't even picking up. "I can have some fun with you for once!" I say evily. I pick him up by the collar and just when I'm about to punch him hard he kicks me.

I walk back a few feet. "Fool, do you think you can stop me?" He asks to me. His eyes turn bright green and he busts out of the reinforced rope.

"Yes. I can stop you!" I whip a batarang at a firehydrant and the water geyses sending him into the wall. "How's that for a kid?"

He instantly rises to his feet. "Now you have mad me mad," He growls.

[Blight]

"Now you have made me mad" I say to Batman, "And if you think i'm tough when i'm calm, then wait ti'll you see where you end up when i'm mad!" "Um, a hospital?" Batman guesses. "No, you end up in a hospital when i'm calm" I say to him, "You end up in cemetary when i'm mad!" I leap at him and start beating the crud out of him. I throw punch after punch, never stoping, never tiring. Suddenly he presses his boots against my chest and blasts me away with his rockets. I land on the ground hard. I let out a tremendous scream. I am beyond rage now. I produce a ball of radiation in each hand and hurl them at Batman. He cries out as he is slammed into the wall of a building. I jump on top of him and pin him to the ground. "Now, before I kill you, it's time to find out who you really are" I say to Batman as I start to pull off his mask.

See ya!
Blight

[Shriek]

"Don't even think about it!" I reach my hand into my belt and grab the Artic Pellet. "See you in hell!" I smash the pellet on him and kick him off. I hit the boosters and skid down the block on my back.

I flip up. I stare back at Blight. He is slowly getting frozen. "No! WHY! AHH!" Is all he can scream. Within seconds Blight is completely covered in ice.

The block is completely convered with ice. I stand look at my handy work. "Not bad! Not bad at all!"

Two hours Later:

Blight is thawed and he is put into a maxium security prison in Chicago.

BATCAVE:

"So I froze him. He was about to see who I was. So I froze him. I believe he is in Chicago now. He will be there until this all mess we have going on blows over."

"Nice work," Is all Bruce manages to say.

[Blight]

ooc: Nice work with that last part Shriek! I really like where this is going! Now it's time for my big breakout attempt! Heh, heh, heh.

ic: I sit in my dump, watching the four guards patrol outside. That's what I think of this place, a dump. Protecting my huge cell is a laser defense grid that will disintergrate any living thing that walks through, and behind that, a gigantic ice defense system. If I so much as step in that area, ice will shoot out from the walls and freeze me into a block of ice. And behind that is a door with five layers of solid steel. Pathetic. "You fools!" I scream to the guards through the small open window in the door, "You think this pathetic defense system and only FOUR guards can detain Blight?!" The guards continue to walk back and forth, ignoring me. "Well if that's all you got, then there is somthing seriously wrong with this world!" I sream in rage. I start to hurl radiation at the walls. The radiation is deflected off the walls by a force field. I scream in fury. I let loose and radiation starts shooting out of my body in all directions. (Like in Ascension) The radiation is so strong that is blasts the entire cell apart. The guards rush in and I quickly dispose of them. I rampage throughout the entire prison, killing anyone who dares to get in my way.

I blast my way out of the prison and walk away. I don't even look back as the entire complex colapses behind me. I look up at the night sky and stretch, "Ah, free at last!" I say to myself. Somthing catches my eyes across the street. I read a huge sign that says "Airport". "It's time to catch a flight" I say to myself as I hurry across the street.

I rush into the airport. Every single person in the room looks at me and runs out of the airport. I look at the flight schedule and see that there is a flight leaving for Gotham in ten minutes! I rush into the waiting area and the line suddenly dissapears. I run into the plane and sit down. A few minutes later, the pilot announces that the plane is taking off. I smile to myself. The pilot doesn't even realize that the only person in the plane is a glowing, radioactive skeleton. Idiot. The plane takes off. Soon, I will be back where I belong, and this time, my vengance will not be taken from me!

See ya!
Blight

[Blight]

I sit in the plane and wait. It shoulden't be more than an hour before we reach Gotham. I hear footsteps and turn to see a woman pushing a food cart down the aisle. She looks around, surprised that there is no one in the plane. Then she sets her eyes on me. She starts to scream and I run forward and put my hand on her mouth. I haul her to the baggage compartment in the back of the plane and toss her in. I seal the door shut and walk back to my seat.

Finally, I can see Gotham looming just ahead. Ten minutes later we land. I step out onto the ground and look up at the familiar buildings of Gotham. I smile and start to think. Maybe this time, I shoulen't be so impulsive. Yes, this time I will try to lay low for a little while, and then I will strike with all my rage when the time is just perfect. But then again, Batman will soon know i've escaped from that wretched prison in Chicago, and he will know i'm back in Gotham by now. Well, whatever happens, I do know one thing. Batman will die!

See ya!
Blight

[Shriek]

Obsession make your move.

[Trent Lane]

Thursday, 8:04 AM

I wake up from a good night's rest and turn on the television. That glowing man's face is all over the news. Apparently, this 'Blight', wants the boy Batman dead and tried to destroy the city in the process. He was apprehended and taken to Chicago. Good, I don't need him interfering with my plans again. I do some streches and meditation and get dressed. I proceed back to Kim's back alley hide-away. I go in, greeted by Kim.

"How are you, Koga?" Kim asks.

"Better than ever," I reply. "Is the suit ready?"

He pulls it out. Fantastic! "We've added a few things to it this morning after seing the Batman fighting Blight on the web last night. He has apparently found some new source for strength, so we countered that in every way we could. You should have no problem this time."

I pull out some cred cards and hand them to Kim. "Thank you for your help. It is greatly appreciated." With that, I put the suit in my bag and head toward my hotel. 10 AM already. I decide to go to old Gotham to test this new suit out. I come to an old department store. I put on the black suit and mask and take out my laser sword. Within minutes, between my new found strength and the sword, I had brought down the building- and hadn't even broken a sweat. Perfect! I proceed back to my hotel room before the fire fighting drone vehicles make their way to the scene. I take off the suit and sit back to watch television just a while longer, to catch up on all that goes on in Gotham. Blight had escaped from his cell. That's not a good thing. My thoughts were broken by the mention of Wayne. I turn up the volume...

"After a failed attempt to welcome Bruce Wayne back to the top of his company a few months ago due to the appearance of the Joker, tonight festivities will take place once again to welcome Mr. Wayne at the Gotham Plaza Hotel this evening..."

Everything is falling into place....

ooc: hope that fits into the rest of the story alright...

[Mr. Obsession]

I'm just waiting for midnight. Let Terry rest and relax for a few hours Shriek.

Actually, give me an hour or two and I'll post something with Barbara.

[Trent Lane]

Thursday 12 Noon

I've seen all the stuff on the news about Blight, Stalker, and this Ninja character, but hadn't talked to Terry in a while about it. I figured after Physics class was over I'd go look for him.

The bell rang and I went down the hall in search of Terry. I found him, half awake at his locker putting some books away. I went up to him.

"You looked slagged. Rough night?" I asked.

"That doesn't even begin to describe it," he replied. "There's just too much going on right now. Three baddies can wipe you out."

"Wanna talk about it over lunch? My treat," I quip.

"Not now," Terry replied.

"Alright if I drop by the Manor tonight to, you know, help out?" I pressed.

"I'm not the one in charge of that kind of stuff. You gotta talk to the boss," Terry said, with a smirk on his face. "Don't be surprised if he says no, though. Things are pretty tense right now, and he's irratable when it comes to stuff like this. Just a warning."

With that, he closes his locker and walks off. I decide to give Wayne a call. One ring and he picks up.

"No," Wayne says. He must've gotten my caller ID.

"Come on, why not? I just want to help," I whine back.

"The answer's still no. There's too much at stake right now, and I don't need to be distracted. End of discussion." Then he hung up.
A distraction? Me? Sometimes I wish I hadn't found out about Terry's secret. Bruce never lets me help out, and it's starting to annoy me. I wish there was something I could do to change his opinion....

ooc: kinda weak, but i wanted to bring max back into things. hope you all don't mind me using ter and bruce, i tried to handle the situation as you would, seeing as there isn't much love for max anyway. yall can do with max as you like, aside from killing her off. that's a little too extreme ;) see yall around...

[Blight]

ooc: Man, I love this RPG stuff! Can't wait ti'll Stalker turns up again. I'd like to meet up with him at some point! Anyways, here's my next part:

ic: It is the afternoon now. Last night, I had known I would have to deal with daylight -which would make my presence alot more obvious- so I found myself an old trench coat in the trash. Not the best disguise, but it would have to do. I walk past a building with the words "Hamilton Hill High". I look closely and see a familiar teenager walk down the steps. I realize it's Terry Mcginnis. I hide behind a dumpster and watch as Terry looks around and ducks into an alley. I decide to follow him. I press myself against a building a peek around into the alley. I can see him talking on his cellphone. I edge a little closer so I can hear him. "Yep" I hear him say, "I'll get right on it, Bruce". He hangs up and opens his backpack, And he starts to pull out the Batsuit! I gasp as I realize the truth. Terry is Batman!


See ya!
Blight

[Trent Lane]

I walk down the front steps of the school, ready to go home and call it a day. Just as I'm about to get a ride from Blade, I see Terry walking down an alley down from the school. Then I see someone following him, in a long trenchcoat and a brimmed hat. That can't be good, I think to myself. I walk over towards them, making sure to keep my distance. I see the man peeking down the alley and farther down I see Terry pulling out the Batsuit. Great, this dude knows who he is now. I pulled out my cell and dialed up Bruce.

"We've got a situation, Mr. Wayne," I blurt as soon as the phone picks up.

"What is it now?" Bruce moans back.

"Well, some guy followed Terry down an alley and saw him pull out the Batsuit. He knows who he is!" Just as I said this, the man came over and grabbed my hand. It was burning.

"You made a BIG mistake, girlie," He growled as he tipped his hat. BLIGHT! "Now, I gotta take out some trash!"

ooc: okay, see where you can take it from here, just DON'T kill Max off. I've got plans...:D

[Blight]

The girl with the pink hair screams. I quickly put my hand over her mouth, but Batman, I mean Terry, seems to hear. He looks around and yells, "Max?". I realize this girl must be a friend of his. I grab her and run. I hear footsteps pounding the ground behind me. He must be giving chase! I race down another street, turn at the next block and go left, then I race forward for a few blocks and go right. I find myself on another street and duck into a small alley on my left. I hear the footsteps stop. I peek around the corner. "Damn it!" Terry says as he kicks a trash can and starts to walk away. Once he is gone I let go of the girl called Max and she falls on the ground. "Well, my little Maxie" I say to her, grinning, "It appears you may be of some use to me after all". Max stares nervously at me, "Wh-what are you gonna do with me?" she asks. "Don't ask stupid questions" I say to her as I put my face up close to her's, "I'm simply going to use you to make certain arrangements that i'm sure Batman will be happy to agree to, if he cares about your health". She starts to back away from me and I grab her by the arm, "Now come" I say to her as I start to drag her out of the alley, "I have alot of work to do".

See ya!
Blight

[Bird Boy]

OCC: SO sorry guys! The boards haven't worked for me in over 3 days!! Sorry..here's Wayne though!:

IC:

The phone rings again. What does she want now? Honestly, she can be such a brat sometimes..

"We've got a situation, Mr. Wayne," she blurts as soon as I pick up

"What is it now?" I moan back.

"Well, some guy followed Terry down an alley and saw him pull out the Batsuit. He knows who he is!" Just as she said this I heard a struggle then a...

"You made a BIG mistake, girlie,Now, I gotta take out some trash!"

I know that voice....Blight. This is getting really tiresome. How many people know about his identity now?

I hear footsteps go by. Then they come back.
"Slag it!" I hear the man say.
I hear the phone being picked up.
"Hello?"
"It's me.."
"Geesh! Your getting to the point where you have to contact me on TWO phones now?"
That boy needs some serious attitude adjustment.
"She called me. Blight knows who you are"
"What?!..."

I pull the phone away from my ear as he curses his obsenities.

"Max can handle herself. Get the batmobile. We'll work from there."

"I have to go after her!"

"Listen. She managed to get away from the Kobras. I think she can handle a radio-active man. Plus, if I know Blight, and I do, he's using her as bait. Don't take it..not yet."

"All right.." Terry says...reluctantly, I can tell.

I look back and see the batmobile boost out of the cave.

Terry contacts me again when he gets the batmobile.

"Well, I'm off..but where----slag it! I'm still in school!"
"don't worry about that. I'll make a call. It shouldn't be too hard"
"You don't know my school..."
"You don't know me".

We cut off our chit-chat there.

"I'll contact you after I call the school". I hang up.

Fifteens minutes later I get off of the phone.

Information on the 3 is sparse. A Ninja, who, from what Terry said, wants ME, Blight, and Stalker. I could use some help on this one.. I need a break.

I switch on the TV.

"And in other news. Warhawk, from the infamous Justice League of America will be paying Gotham a visit. The GPolice need his assistance on a special case they are working on. Warhawk will not make public appearances, contrary to what people have been saying on the streets"

Warhawk...I flip on the comm link.

"Terry..when you were at the JLU..were you and Warhawk...friendly at all?"

"Friendly? More like enemies. He probably doesn't hate me as much..but he still doesn't like me. Why?"

"No reason.."

END.

OK, I know, bringing Warhawk in isn't the best. But, he may be able to subdue the villians for awhile..anybody think 3 at a time is too much? Especially with one of the more agile guys (Ninja [who crumbled a friggin' building!]) after Wayne? Anyway, just lemme know if you don't like it, and I'll edit the post...

That's all I can think of to post now..we should ALL have a meeting, IF possible, in the WF Chat..or on AIM/AOL..or if any of you guys have a personnal chat, we could meet there. We just need a date & time...

-BB

[Trent Lane]

ooc: hey, i was pondering bringing GL into it, but since you've got Warhawk all ready to go, I'm all for it! be back later to post something....

[Trent Lane]

Thursday 4:03 PM

After a day of wandering through Gotham City, mostly inspecting the Gotham Plaza Hotel, I return to my hotel room and switch on the television. The VR reporter spouts a bulliten:


"And in other news. Warhawk, from the infamous Justice League of America will be paying Gotham a visit. The GPolice need his assistance on a special case they are working on. Warhawk will not make public appearances, contrary to what people have been saying on the streets"

Hmmm. "Warhawk". I don't need any outside interference now, with everything falling into place as it is. What "special case" could the GCPD need him for? I'll have to keep an eye out for him, just incase he attempts to confront me. Hearing that report, I change the channel to another program and start to meditate...

MAX:

Oh God, what have I got myself into? Why didn't Terry follow Blight? So much going through my head right now, I just can't believe this has happened to me! Of course, this isn't the first time. Curare. Kobra. Spellbinder. So far, everything's worked out all right. But for some reason I'm not so sure about this situation. Blight is a pyscho, there's no telling what he'll do to me. He takes me to a television building on Gotham's east side and sets me in a room. He ties my arms and legs together and gags me.

"Not a sound, not a move," he sternly said to me. "I've got some demands to make." With that, he walked out of the room and closed the door. Sitting in darkness, I wondered what would happen to me...

ooc: see where yall can take it from here...

[Mr. Obsession]

Barbara Gordon

Sitting in my office, there’s so much to deal with right now. I decide to flip on the news, maybe a distraction will do me some good.


"And in other news. Warhawk, from the infamous Justice League of America will be paying Gotham a visit. The GPolice need his assistance on a special case they are working on. Warhawk will not make public appearances, contrary to what people have been saying on the streets"

The words I did not want to hear. I wonder, did someone in my department leak this or did Warhawk decide to stroke his ego. Terry's worked with Warhawk before, maybe I should bring him in on this...

...after he becomes a little less busy. And if it was Warhawk who leaked this to the press maybe I can talk the kid into whacking him upside the head.


ooc: sorry if that was a little weak, I've been out of it lately. I've also been busy and the boards have been acting up as you all should know.

Bird_Boy, mind telling me if you actually have a plan for Warhawk being used by the GP. If you do that might help me out because I don't have a clue what to do with him.

[Blight]

I walk into the next room. This place is a wreck now, from what those missiles did to it, but luckily a few tv moniters and computers still work. I can still hear Max's muffled cries coming from the room where I stashed her, so I slam the door shut. Unfortunatley, the door must have been damaged by the explosion, because it falls over onto the floor with a thud. I curse under my breath and sit myself at a compuer. I type some commands into the computer. My face appears on the few moniters that haven't exploded. I begin my message: "Batman, I know who you are now, and if don't come to me in four hours, I will reveal your identidy! In fact, i'll start right now! The first letter of your name is T. Gee, I wonder who else heard that besides you? I will reveal another hint every hour, or perhaps sooner if I feel like it. And one more thing" I say as I walk into the room with Max, grab her, and walk back in, "If you don't come in four hours, she dies!" I scream as I shove Max into view, "And you better not try the exploding building trick again, because she'll die too! And no sending the cops to this wrecked TV station, because if you do, I think you can imagine what will happen! And remember, it's not just you that I want, you must also bring Paxton! If you do not agree to my terms, she dies, and your secret is exposed! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!" I laugh as I shut off the conection.

See ya!

Bird_Boy, mind telling me if you actually have a plan for Warhawk being used by the GP. If you do that might help me out because I don't have a clue what to do with him.

OOC (whole post):

Well, I don't think it would have any REAL affect on the story itself. Just some Behind-the-sceens stuff. I just needed a reason to bring Warhawk to Gotham. Hope ya don't mind!

I'll probably be controlling WarHawk (I need to be able to punch and kick like the rest of ya guys..Wayne's an ol' fart! :) ), unless sombody else absolutely wants to. But, if you guys don't want Warhawk in the story, then, that's ok. If you have any Brain Storms Obsession, let me know!

Thursday 5:01 PM

Blight dragged me back into the dark room after he made his demands over the web. He threw me against the wall and walked away.

"I hope your friend decides to show himself," Blight quips. "I'd hate to have to make a mess." He struts out of the room. Less than four hours and Blight would come through with that promise. I couldn't accept that. I had to get out of here. I looked around on the floor for something sharp. I found a brick shard on the floor and worked it into my hands. I began cutting on my restraints. I broked the ties holding my arms, and took off my gag. I pulled out my cell and dialed up Bruce.

"Max?" he asked.

"Yeah, I need help ASAP!" I whispered over the phone. "I broke loose but I'm still stuck in the building. How soon can you get Terry here? I'm.... uh, scared. I'm scared."

"He's out making his rounds," Bruce replied. "I'll send him your way right now." The connection was cut. I broke the bonds on my legs and headed for the stairs. I gessed the best way to get Terry's attention would be to go on the roof. I went up the stairs and got to the roof, the sun was low in the sky. Though it was warm, I shivered. I looked across the sky trying to spot the Batmobile, but it was nowhere in sight. Suddenly, there was a voice behind me.

"Just where do you think you're going?!" Blight yelled. "I tried to be civil about this, but you just won't listen. You want to leave?! FINE!" With that he hurled two balls of radiation at me, cause the edge of the building to cave in. I was falling. No, this can't be happening...

[Shriek]

The batmobile whips out of the skyline as I jerk the steering rods. I twist both of my wrists and send the batmobile hurdling towards downtown Gotham Plaza.

I squint my eyes from stress. I stare in the distance. "What the hell?" I push the rods down flick my wrist. The batmobile picks up an extra 75 MPH as It lunges towards the building.

I jerk the rods and jam the breaks and send myself diving through the window. I extend the wings and boost to Max. I grab her and drop 50 feet. I shoot a grapple and swing into the building next door.

"What were you thinking!" I yell at her.

[Blight]

I can see Batman scolding Max on the building next to this one. "Oh, Terry!" I call to him, "You didn't agree to my terms, so now it looks like i'll have to spread your secret! But first, revenge!" I say I produce a ball of radiation in my hand. Batman just stares at me and ignores what I just said. "What's a' matter little boy, did you loose your nerve" I call to him, "Come on, face me coward! Face me like your idiot father never did!" Batman continues to stand, unmoving, "Y'know" I say, pretending to think, "I remember Mr. Fix saying your father put up a pretty good fight just before he died. He threw a punch at Fix. Of course he easily evaded it and hit him in the stomach so hard he threw up. Then, Mr. Fix shot him in his left arm, and as your father clutched his arm he said, oh, please, leave me alone, i'm too young to die, Terry needs me!" I say to Batman, laughing, "And that's when Mr. Fix shot him in the heart". I'm about to say more, when Batman leaps at me from the other building, uttering a cry of rage. He lands on his feet directly in front of me and says, "It's time to end this Blight. Once and for all."

See ya!
Blight

[Trent Lane]

Thursday 6:09 PM

Terry came out of nowhere and caught me as I was falling. Then he yelled at me. I only half heard what he said, but I knew he was mad at me. I'd let him down again. He and Mr. Wayne are right- I am a distraction. Terry puts me on the ground, then jets off back up toward Blight. I decide rather than to stick around and get scolded again by Terry, I'd just head home for the night. As I was about to walk away, I felt a stabbing sensation in my left side. I cried out and fell to the ground. It felt horrible. I pulled out my cell and dialed 9-1-1 and was able to give them my location, then passed out...

[Mr. Obsession]

Stalker

I turn on the news.

"Batman, I know who you are now, and if don't come to me in four hours, I will reveal your identify! In fact, I’ll start right now! The first letter of your name is T. Gee, I wonder who else heard that besides you? I will reveal another hint every hour, or perhaps sooner if I feel like it. And one more thing if you don't come in four hours, she dies! And you better not try the exploding building trick again, because she'll die too! And no sending the cops to this wrecked TV station, because if you do, I think you can imagine what will happen! And remember, it's not just you that I want, you must also bring Paxton! If you do not agree to my terms, she dies, and your secret is exposed! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!....

(News reporter) Once again I would like to remind everyone just tuning in that this was a message picked up by chance. Police have urged that everyone stay in their homes for the time being.

This just in, apparently Batman has engaged Blight.

We now accepting viewer comments on this situation and the question raised by many, is the Batman more trouble to the city than he 'prevents'?"

Should I help him? No, he must handle this on his own. If he defeats Blight than he is truly worthy of my hands. If not than I shall rip Blight limb from limb for taking my trophy away from me.

I must prepare myself for the coming battle. Six hours left. Don't disappoint me Batspirit.

ooc: Sorry Bird_Boy, I don't have a clue about using Warhawk so you might as well do something with him.

[Trent Lane]

News of the boy Batman is all over the web. Blight knows his identity and is making threats again. This fool will never learn. His idle threats are nothing. He doesn't have the spirit of a warrior, only that of a coward. I'm almost compelled to take down Blight myself, but know the the boy has the ability to handle him. I turn up the volume and listen to the VR anchor report...

"Police and medic crews are now at the television station where Batman has confronted Blight. The hostage, unidentified at this time, has suffered minor burns and apparently suffered some sort of radiation poisoning. We'll update you to her condition as reports come in."

I turn off the television and suit up. I need to do some more training with the suit before I take out Wayne, who will no doubt be guarded by his protege. The way things are looking now, he will be worn down enough to where he won't be a problem. I step out onto the balcony and leap down to the street.

[Shriek]

I catch the ball in my mit. "I did it dad. I did it! I caught the ball!" Woo Hoo Is all I can manage. I am so excited.

"You did good son," Dad replies. "This has been a great day. I look forward to more of these days!"
THE FLASHBACK IS INTERRUPTED BY REALITY.

I stare into the glowing green eyes. I look for a soul behind the skull I am staring at. "You killed him! You killed my father. And now you will pay for that."

I upper cut Blight in the jaw. He doesn't budge to much. I throw 2 left jabs and follow through with a right swing. He gets knocked back a few steps. With lighting speed I pelt his chest and kidney's with every ounce of strength in me.

I use the anger to my advantage when I grab the back of his head I use a forceful right swing and bring his head into my hurdling fist.

Blight is knocked to the ground. I start kicking his head repeatedly. With my last source of anger I stomp his rib cage hearing a bunch of cracks.

"I made you! I can break you!" I taunt as his rib cage breaks.

"Fool!" He launches radiation at me and I fly back through the wall. I flip up and wait for his next attack.

[Mr. Obsession]

Stalker

Thursday 6:15 PM


Just under six hours to go. I need to stretch, get a warm-up before I kill Batman.

I open the window and look at the street below. Maybe I can find some more of these "Jokerz". They did amuse me the last few times I found some. Taking a leap out the window I land grace fully on a nearby roof. Picking a random direction I take off.

Two hours is all I will allow myself for distraction, then I will head to the game reserve, the place I have chosen to claim my trophy.

6:45 p.m.

There is nothing, no one is out. The city cowers in fear of a glowing man. When they learn what I will have done they will fear me instead.

In the distance, I see a costumed man running, using the shadows for cover. Batman? No, someone else. I'll follow him for now, I still have time to kill.

[Trent Lane]

Thursday 7:00 PM

As I run down the streets in the shadows, I feel as if I am being watched- or followed. I turn and see nothing, so I continue on my way to old Gotham. I reach another group of abandonned buildings and start my workout. My fists easily smash through the concrete walls, bringing them crumbling down. My VibroSwrod easily cuts through the three foot wide columns of the buildings. As I work my way through the buildings, I can't help but feel that I am being watched. After my "workout", I start to return to my hotel room when a figure jumps out in front of me. He appears to be a hunter of some sort. I put my hand on my sword, ready to draw it out.

"There's no need for that," he stops me. "I was mearly admiring your handy work. I have bigger fish to fry. Just know this: if you attack the Batman, you will die at my hands. I don't need anyone damaging my 'trophy'." With that, he pulled out a staff and leapt into the air. Perfect, someone else to keep the Batman busy. Bruce Wayne, you time is runing out. Who will save you now?

ooc: BB, if you want to use Warhawk, i'd say this is as good a chance as any...

[Mr. Obsession]

Stalker

Thursday 7:00 PM

I don't know who this man is but he's good. Several times he almost lost me. I believe he knows I'm here, or at least something is here.

He arrives in an abandoned section of the city. He begins to practice. He's strong and fast, yet graceful. A master of his art, yet it is as if he's out of his element. Almost as if he's struggling to make the unnatural natural.

He finishes and turns to leave. Time to make my move. I step out of the shadows. His hand moves towards his weapon.

"There's no need for that," I say. "I was mearly admiring your handy work. I have bigger fish to fry. Just know this: if you attack the Batman, you will die at my hands. I don't need anyone damaging my 'trophy'." I pause long enough to see a glimmer behind his mask. He understands. In a way it's almost as if we are kindred spirits. Perhaps after my victory I will seek out this man, when I am in need of another challenge.

Pulling out and extending my staff I leap back into the shadows, making my way towards the meeting place. It would not do to be late.

[Blight]

ic: The brutal attack by Batman hurt, but not enough to keep me down. I launch radiation at Batman and he flips backward, "You fool!" I scream at him, "If I handled your father without any trouble, what makes you think you're any tougher?". "Multiple reasons" Batman says, practicaly snarling. He leaps at me and I belt him in the stomach, then I grab him and toss him off the building. I look over the edge. Batman's hand shoots up and grabs me by the neck and he starts to pull me over the side.

ooc: Your turn, Shriek!

See ya!
Blight

[Shriek]

UnG! I get hit smashed in the gut. I am lifted over his head and launched out the window.

"Your coming with!" I shout as I grab his head. We both fall out the window. "AHHH!!!!" We both shout. I extend my arm and shoot the jump chord. The grapple grabs a flag pole.

As we lower to the ground I get rapid flashbacks of my life with my father before the divorce. I was young. I had just fallen off my bike. He came and helped me up. And told me, "You will die!"

My father chuckles evily and his head starts glowing. The head turns into a glowing skulll. "AHA MCGINNIS! DO YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN! DO YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT THE ALMIGHTY BLIGHT!"

I shake my head and realize it is Blight doing the talking. We keep descending towards the ground. I ignite the boots and we boost up in the air. "Watch me kill you!"

"Take this and call me in the morning!" I ram my fist into his mouth and drop a pill down his throat. I watch him choke as the pill enter's his system.

COUGH COUGH COUGH! "What is this?" He beats his chest trying to make the pill enter his body.

"Amnesia. And next time you think you want to mess with someone's father. Make sure it's not Batman's!" With that last remark I elbow him in the gut and he falls.

He falls and falls from 55 feet in the air. His head bashes a street lamp hard! I even notice the blood geyse out from his ears. And I watch the glowing figure smash through the concrete as he hit the ground.

I switch to infared vision and notice he has fallen into an underground river. Probably dead. Since he won't be remembering a thing that has happened to him for this past week.

"I've got work to do! Wayne I'm coming home!" I call the Batmobile as it roars around the corner. I leap in the cockpit and punch in autopilot. My head bashes into the back of the seat and I head home.


OOC: Blight, sorry if this was a little brutal. I had to make it quick since Stalker and the Batman fight is coming.

[Bird Boy]

IC(Wayne):

All of this Blight news. Too much is happening..too much...

"I've got work to do! Wayne I'm coming home!" Crackles over the speaker

He must've dealt with Blight already. Now just Stalker..and the Ninja.

Ninja wants me...but..why? It doesn't matter. By the time I find out..he'll be here....

I look over at the suit I used against Inque..I almost had a heart-attack in that thing. I can't use that. Nothing in this cave...nothing!

Terry will be fighting Stalker...I can't fight the Ninja..I'm too....old...

END WAYNE.

IC(Warhawk):

Gotham is so dark. I see a huge green glow over on the top of a nearby building. It quickly fades away. I see another dark figure.

A car comes near him. He jumps in and flys away.

Batman.

Should've know. Who else wears black in this city?

Now then..where is this...Ninja..

I switch on the boosters and fly up as high as I can. The steel wings automatically switch open.

I flip the switch and my spare rockets flip out and throw me forward. I watch the streets as I soar. Nobody...everybody is inside.

Wait..I see a dark figure...it's not batman. This could be what I came for.

I switch off the jets and glide silently..following him..watching his every move.

He stops suddenly. He looks down a dark alley and bolts down it.

I switch the jets on again and chase him.

He finds his way to the main streets. It's empty of cars. There is a good strip of road...at least 1/2 a mile.

I push the engines to full and then shut them off. I shut off my wings and fall straight onto his shoulders.

He flips around with his vibro-sword and lashes at me. I dodge it and command the suit to switch my eye lenses.

I focus the lense on the Ninja's vibro-sword. I wink and the lense shoots out a burst of energy, igniting the swords core, and making it explode.

That ticked him off. He comes at me with his fists, but I block them..not too easily though. I take both of my fists and slam them into his gut. he stumbles backwards. It didn't seem to affect him any.

The Ninja glances at the clock. Then immediatly turns on his heel and starts running.

That suit he has is fast. I take focus the lense and focus it by his foot. It contacts with the road and rips up part of it, sending him flying forward.

I jump and ignite the jets, taking to the air again. I seem him moving below. I let go of the jets and land on his back. His feet hit me in the back of the head, sending me forward. I shake it off...not a time for distraction. I take out my tranq gun and aim at him as he gets up and runs again. The dart contacts with the back of his neck, rendering him unconcious. I walk over to him, as he lies on the ground. He immediatly twirls over and double kicks me in the head. He gets up and pulls the dart out. The suit must be stronger then I thought .If this doesn't work..then I don't know what will..

I slam my fist into his head. 2 spikes shoot out of my fist and enter his eyes. He'll be blind for at least 2 hours. He screams in pain. I hit him one final time to knock him un-concious.

Now I just gotta figure out what to do with him...I can't very well call for the police..I don't even know where I am...

END.

OOC: OK, I know that was a little brutal, so forgive me flhero, but, I just wanted to test out Warhawk. OK, here is my story for why Warhawk is in Gotham:

He came to Gotham because, before coming to Gotham, The Ninja killed a man in Metropolis. Now, that's just my idea, and I know Shriek liked it..but, I dunno about the rest of you. Anyway, Gordon sent for him to get the Ninja before he killed anybody in Gotham. SO, that's my excuse for him being in Gotham. He's gonna be sort of protecting Wayne..in a way. Lemme know what you think!

Thursday 11:13 PM

I didn't think the presence of the Warhawk would be a problem, but I was wrong. He's done something to my vision, I can only see blurs, mostly due to the vision enhancement of the mask. Warhawk takes me and throws me in an alley, and I crash into some garbage cans.

"Stay put!' Warhawk commanded. "I'll call a squad car to come pick you up." With that, he appeared to extend his wings and take off from the scene. I was alone. I heard sirens in the distance, so I decided to try and make it back to the hotel, or at least hide somewhere until my vision came back to me. I ducked into an abbandonned bar at the Bay area. "The Stacked Deck"? Americans. I took a seat in the back room and rubbed my eyes. Oh, now Warhawk is gonna pay. I may have been beaten by him this time, but now I know his moves, his fighting style. Mostly fighting dirty, but anything goes. The clock strikes one, and my vision is about 100%. I'll head over to Kim's before retiring fo the night.

[Mr. Obsession]

Stalker

11:30 p.m.


Having just finished checking everything, each of my backup plans is working perfectly. The reserve is cleared of personal, except for three security personal. I've taken care of them. When they wake up in about, oh, 20 minutes in the video room I set up, nothing but monitor feeds from the security cameras, they shall be witness to Batman's death.

I head towards the center of the reserve where I will wait for Batman. In 30 minutes everything will be mine. Don't be late young Batspirit.

[Shriek]

I land in the batcave perfectly. I hop out of batmobile. I have to move quickly. Time is my arch enemy at the moment. I leap from the cockpit onto the cavern floor.

I start taking off my suit. I whip the body suit at Wayne. It lands in his face. "Make those repairs! We have only 20 minutes."

He snarls and walks over to the repair table. He flattens the suit out. And starts welding and splicing some wires.

I walk into the weapons chamber. I grab the advanced designs we have made of the weapons. I throw them in a bag and head on over to the suit display cases. I open the classic bat suit and reach into the utility belt.

I dig my hands out and find some old gas balls. "I doubt he can avoid breathing...., I double read the label, Rat Urin?" Sick. I pocket one anyways.

I dash over to the repair table. I slap on the suit. I run over to the batcomputer. I push a few buttons and the batmobile starts to hover.

I check the clock. 11:50 P.M. I can't be late. I run to the batmobile only to get stopped by Wayne. "Be careful."

"Always." I dive into the batmobile. I grip the accelerator and twist my wrists and I blasts off into the night waiting for Stalkers call so I know where to meet him.

[Mr. Obsession]

Um, Shriek in the letter I said where to meet Stalker. Remember it's at the Wayne Foundation wildlife preserve outside of west Gotham.

Don't be late. :p

ic: Stalker

11:55 p.m.


I stand in the middle of the preserve, waiting. Five minutes to go. Why is it that the short periods of time always pass more slowly when you're waiting for something important?

[Shriek]

So you did. So you did.

IC:

I think of my family. The city. My friends. And Dana. But most of all I think of my father. This is why I am fighting Stalker tonight. To protect the ones I love. And I cannot fail Bruce.

I spot Stalker in the distance. I grab my new staff and shrink it. I clip it to my belt. I drop from the cockpit and land in front of him. I look into his eyes.

In the distance I hear bells.... It's midnite.

[Mr. Obsession]

Stalker

Midnight.

Batman comes out of nowhere and lands right in front of me. He's so close...

...and he's starring at me.

I smile. "Welcome Batman. I'm suprised you came to face me directly, not attacking from the shadows. Perhaps you are a man after all.

I truly hope you took the time to make your peace with this world because from this moment on there is no turning back. Tonight I will rip the warriors' spirit from your flesh."

I pull out my staff, hold it out in front of myself and extend it to it's full length.

"Let it begin."

[Blight]

ooc: Ugh........ I don't feel so good;).

ic: The underground river carries me back to Gotham Harbor. I spill out of a huge pipe and into the water. I struggle against the waves, pulling me away from Gotham. My head is pounding so hard, that I feel as if my visible skull is cracked, and maybe it is. Soon, the pain takes its toll, and the world turns black.

I wake up on dry land. I realize i'm on a beach. I struggle to remember what just happened, but the memory is gone. The one thing I remeber, is that Terry Mcginnis is Batman! I struggle to hold onto that memory, but it quickly fades away. My mind is blank. All I remember is Batman, Paxton, and what they both did to me. I look at my surroundings. There are palm trees all around me, and they lead into a thick jungle. I must be on some sort of island. The island looks familiar, but I can't remember where i've seen it before. I stare back angrily at the ocean, and the distant city beyond that I cannot see. Batman must pay for what he has done to me! He must die! Once I adjust to my new surroundings and heal, I will swim back to Gotham. But little do I know, these surroundings are not new. Little do I know, that i'm back where I began.......

ooc: Well, it looks like i'm back where I started. Isn't that ironic:rolleyes:. But don't worry, i'll get off this island as soon as I heal. Actually, this is the last time i'm gonna be posting for two weeks, because i'm going on a trip to the Poconos! But I promise i'll start posting again as soon as I get back!

See ya in two weeks!

[Trent Lane]

Friday 12:04 AM

I wake up on a hospital bed, my arms feel very heavy and I can't really loft my head. The nurse comes in and sticks this needle in my arm.

"OW!" I yell at her.

"Sorry, Ms. Gibson, but we've got to take some blood work," the nurse replies. "The exposure to that radioactive man may have tainted your blood. Now hold still."

She takes a sample and leaves the room. I feel lightheaded again and feel as if I'm going to black out. I doze off for a while and wake up the next morrning to talking outside my room. A few nurses poke their heads in my room and shake their heads. What? What does that mean? Oh, God, what are they saying? A nurse sees that I'm awake and slowly walks into the room.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news."

ooc: I figured I better post something to let yall know I'm still alive. As for Max, I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going to go with this story. I'll think about it and we'll see what's going to happen to her....

[Shriek]

"Let's Dance!" I say the line I once said to the original Joker. If I could take Joker I'm sure I stand a strong chance against Stalker.

I deck him in the face and he falls to the ground. I smash my toe into his nose.

Stalker flips to his feet. "I must say you have gotten much stronger," he jokes as he wipes the blood from his nose. He belts the staff over my head.

I fall to the ground. Oh god does that hurt. He tries to hit me again, but I spin on my butt and kick the staff away with my feet.

I hop to my feet. I grab my staff. I flip backwards and land on my knees. I push a button and the staff extends sending 10,000 Volts of electricity into Stalker.

Stalker glows with electricity. "Gotcha! What the?" I spoke to soon. The pole malfunctions and the electricity dies down. I look into Stalker's eyes. He is pissed.

[Mr. Obsession]

Stalker

THE PAIN! The only thing my mind will comprehend. For a few seconds thousands of volts flood my body, threatening to short out my spinal implant, ending the fight before it has even begun. And as quickly as it started it ends. Batman's pole has shorted out.

Batman is startled. Before he can react I put my hands together, forming a ball, pull to the side and swing, hitting the side of Batman's head as hard as I can. That's sends him flying. While he's dazed I use the opportunity to pull a series of back flips putting me within reaching distance of where my staff landed. Picking it up I charge Batman.

ooc: Your move Shriek.

[Shriek]

A bull! That's what he is. A big stupid bull charging at me with all of his might. Well two can play at this.

"I said we were going to dance," I joke as I hurdle a batarang at a tree. The tree falls and lands in front of Stalker.

Stalker extends his staff and hurdles over the log like nothing has gotten in his path and he totally drop kicks me. I fly back 5 feet and smack the ground.

"Ooof. I hope these things work," I say as I stare at my wrists. They are supposedly faster and stronger. I launch three at Stalker. He dodges all three.

Stalker calls me a fool and laughs.

"What the hell is so special about these things. They didn't eve--," I say, but before I realize it the batarangs wind back and all three smash into his head.

"Ouch! Your face will be on my fireplace!" He jumps up for a roundhouse kick which I easily avoid by grabbing his leg and throwing him.

I jet on top of him. I bend my right arm and pelt my fist in his face several times until his nose breaks open.

He leans back, ***** in his feet and powerfully extends his legs pushing me off of him.

[Mr. Obsession]

Batman smashes my face several times with his fist, there's more pain. Using my legs I push him off. I reach up and feel my nose. It's... it's broken. And my hand is covered in blood. Here I was thinking that the only blood worthy of my hands was Batman's and my hand is covered in my own.

I laugh, starting out with a giggle. It shouldn't be funny but it is.

I charge Batman again, ducking a kick aimed at my head and counter with a punch straight to his gut, all the time laughing. I grab his head and smash his face into my knee.

[Shriek]

My head is bashed into his knee. I know my nose is smashed. But it can't be broken cuz of the suit. I rise to my feet dizzy and woozy.

He is about to hit me, but I stop him. "Wait! Wait! I need to catch my breath," As pathetic as it sounds he actually waits. I ready for my attack. "Thanks for w-----" I spin kick him in the jaw and return with a left uppercut to the chin sending him to the ground.

"And you thought you would win!" I press my foot on his throat trying to cut down his air circulation. He grabs my foot and twists it hard. I fall to the ground grabbing my left ankle.

He rises to his feet and says, "You really need to learn when to shut your mouth kid!"

[Mr. Obsession]

"You really need to learn when to shut your mouth kid!" I take the opportunity to kick his ribs while he's down in front of me. There's no cracking sound, it's the suit, I'm dragging this out too much.

"I gave you a chance to fight like a man, Terry, and to die like one." I kick him again, still no cracking noise. "But with one motion you took that away. I'm ending this game now."

I reach down and pick him up. Holding him above my head I toss him back to the ground and watch him land like a rag doll. Pulling out a knife and walking towards him I think out loud, "I wonder if the phrase about skinning cats applies to bats as well?"

[Shriek]

"Yea well. Cats and Bats," I begin. I shoot my wrist batarang at the knife and it falls. "Funny thing about them is, is that Bats have wings."

I fly high in the trees above him. "And the other thing about cats is......" I leap to the ground and land on Stalker and flip to my feet. "They always land on their feet."

"Where am I going? Look at my hand?" I joke around with my right fist in the air. Stalker stares at my right fist and I jack him in the face.

"Cute." He smirks and laughs. He uppercuts me when I least expect it, and I fly back into a tree.

I place my hand on my belt buckle. I detach it and activate the saw blade. I whip it like a batarang and it breezes past Stalker's head flying deep into the forest slicing and dicing everyting in sight.

"Your out of breath Stalker. That electricity get to you?" I smile and charge at him fists in the air ready to strike.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news." The nurses' comments echoed through my head. No, no, no, this can't be happening to me. Why?

"Miss Gibson, are you listening?" the nurse broke my train of thought.

"Um, yeah, I guess," I replied. "What's wrong now?"

"Well, we couldn't reach any of your family at home, so you could leave, so it looks as if you'll stay the night," she said. "We'll put some new bandages on you in the morninig, but your burns don't loook to be too serious. Try and get some rest, dear." The nurse left the room.

All that worrying for nothing. What a relief! I decide to get some rest, and when I leave in the morning, I'll drop by the Manor to see how Terry and the old man are doing. I pull the covers up and drift off...

ooc: I know, what a cop out. What'd you expect, Max would gain radioactive powers and become Blightgirl? Yeah, that'd be unpredictable :D good to see the fight's getting prety intense. can't wait to see how this ends up. The Ninja returns soon...

[Mr. Obsession]

Stalker


"Your out of breath Stalker. That electricity get to you?"

"Hardly." I mutter to myself, watching Batman charge me. I've got to think fast. Pulling out a hand full of gas pellets, tossing them straight at his face.

"AHH!" They explode in his face, stopping Batman in his tracks.

"I'm suppressed Batman. I doubted something like that would work against you twice.* But to be honest this is dragging on longer than I expected, time for plan B."

Not wasting another second I start running towards the south end of the preserve, typing a series of commands into a small receiver on my left wrist.

"Catch me if you can Batspirit."


-----------------
*See Bloodsport

ooc: Sorry it took so long fro me to post something, I've just been suffering a major case of writer’s block. Fortunately, today's airing of Bloodsport gave me a few "ideas".

[Shriek]

OOC: Dude I almost ****ted a brick when I saw you replied. I thought this place died.

COUGH COUGH! I bat my hands around my mouth and nose waving the air away.

"Where is he?" I look around. I activate the zoom command and start to look around. I spot him heading South. "If only I knew what he was doing!"

I take off in a mad dash after the Stalker. I run super fast to catch up to him. I am only a few feet behind him. I seem to have to leap over every tree stump and duck under every tree branch coming after me.



OOC: I'd write more, but I don't know where you are leading me. Nice to see you again.

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: Well you know what happens when you're life gets really busy, then goes back to normal. And feel free to post anything, I try to make my plans as flexible as possible.

Stalker

Batman is on my heels again. Excellent!

Tapping a command into my wrist receiver, the first trap goes off right behind me. Two logs come swinging from the left and right crashing into each other, where Batman's head should have been. He dodged it, not like I actually expected him to die like that. All it did was slow him down, make him pause. Just like I wanted.

Running ahead I punch in another command. I hope he appreciates the time I took to set up those darts. And to be honest I don't expect that to stop him either, just slow him down.

I make a quick path change and start heading west. Time to up the stakes a little. "I wonder what he'll think about this," thinking out loud as I enter a third command. All over the reserve the night cages open, everything is free.

[Shriek]

Objects flying at me. I drop flat on my back with out a care in the world and let them fly above me. He's playing hardball right now. Logs. Darts.

I lost him in the confusion. I stand to my feet. I quickly break into a jog and start walking towards the South end. I look to the ground and notice a shift in the fresh footprints. That's his footprints alright. I'm sure of it.

As I walk quietly down the path I hear a movement in the bushes. I ignore it and keep walking. The bushes shake and I look to them.

"GRRRRRR RUFF!" A wolf launches from the bushes and tackles me. He begins knawing on my left wrist.

"You took the bait boy," I joke and I deck the dog in its throat and he starts choking. I stand to my feet. I quickly tie up the Wolf's muzzle and kick him over.

I start walking forward and my right foot gets caught in a trap and I am instantly hanging up side down from a tree limb.

"This is great." I say sarcastically. I raise my hand upwards to shoot a batarang at the branch when I notice a Black Bear lurking towards me.

"This is not good. Not good at all," I say. Fear takes over my body as it charges after me. I flick my wrist over and over until one of the many batarangs snap the rope. I drop to my back making a loud crash.

I leap to my feet and take off running Westward towards the lake. I take one gigantic leap over a snarling Leapard heading at me. I do a front flip and land on my feet and keep running down the path.

I smash to sleep gas balls behind me, hopefully one of the animals will be knocked out. I look into my utility belt as I'm running and notice I have several more where that came from.

[Bird Boy]

Phew...it's back and running again I see! :)

I dunno how much I'll be able to do. but here goes:

IC(WAYNE):

Terry's been out there for too long. One has to have fallen by now.

I head over to the commlink and switch it on.

"McGinnis?"

"What?"

Good..he's still alive and kicking.
"What's the stats"
"I'm a little busy now Wayne..Stalkers around here somewhere, and he just let out a bunch of animals from their cages."

I ponder for a moment.

"I hid a couple things in the suit. I don't know if you've found them out yet."
"Like what?"
"There should be a tiny trigger in the palm of your hand. It won't be activated unless your actually looking for it. It only has enough juice for two punches"
"What kind of punches?"
"High powered. They'll send Stalker flying..if they connect. They also have electricty running through it. It'll shock Stalker...if you can connect. There is also a electronic net. But, you'll have to set it as a trap. 5 things need to be put on the ground, made into a square. The 5th one will go in the middle, triggering the other 4, releasing a net that'll shock him. It'll only last a few seconds though. You need to give him somthing to knock him out."
"Thanks..I can use those.."I hear McGinnis reply "I'm switching off the commlink. I see Stalker again."

I listen to the commlink shut off. Good luck McGinnis...you'll need it.

END.

OOC: Since Stalker had all of those traps, I thought I'd give McGinnis some extra stuff.. :)

[Blight]

ooc: Hey guys, i'm back, and i'll post my next part as soon as the Stalker/Batman fight is over (I woulden't want to interfere!). I know posting this is basically pointless, but I just wanted to assure you that I haven't dissapeared!

See ya!
Blight

[Shriek]

Come on Mr Obesession. Get over that writers block!!!

[Blight]

Well, there's certainly a bit of a lull here! And since Mr. Obsession is having a writer's block, I might as well post my next part. However, i'm not exactly sure what to post. Don't worry, it's not writer's block, i'm just pondering over which of my ideas to use. I'll definitley have something posted by tomorrow!

See ya!
Blight

[Trent Lane]

Just posting to let you all know I'm still here, but I can't make a move till the Batman-Stalker brawl is over, both for Max and the Ninja...

[Mr. Obsession]

Stalker

Perched in a nearby tree I watch as Batman runs by chased by Leopard. He pulls out some sort of gas pellet and uses it against the animal, knocking it out. He checks his belt as he continues to run, he must have more, I'll have to be weary of that.

I take of along the tree branches, following him. He continues to head west, I must kill him now before he gets to far ahead. He will reach the panther den soon. One made me what I am today, ten will shred him to pieces. I will not be cheated from my victory by those damn cats!

"IT ENDS NOW BAT!!" I shout as I leap from the trees towards his back.

[Shriek]

"It Ends Now!" Stalker tackles me into the ground. He grabs my throat and begins to squeeze. He smiles and says, "It will all be over soon," he says.

I squirm and twist all about. I try and think of a way out. My eyes begin to close. My brain starts to shiver as well my heart slowly comes to a stop. I realize my only way out is death..............

"You have won," I mumble. I slowly begin to lose oxygen.

"I have won! I have won! You are mind Bat Spirit." He preaches over and over. He lets go of my neck and reaches for a knife.

AIR! I finally feel it taking course. My body begins to function, my nose bleed stops, my heart strarts to pump. I kick up to my feet. I get very dizzy. "You haven't won anything chump!"

Bash! He smacks me over the head and I become unconcious.

[Mr. Obsession]

Stalker

Standing over the fallen Batman I kneel and search for his pulse. It's faint but steady.

A noise comes from his mask, an artificial sound. Someone must be trying to make contact. That won't do. I remove the cowl, placing it in the pouch on my belt. "Which reminds me." I search for a way to remove his own belt but it appears to be attached to the suit. In a few of the belts containers I finds his remaining gas pellets and take them for my own use. I also find a pair of handcuffs.

Flipping the unconscious boy over I secure his hands from behind.

Picking him up I carry him over my shoulder and head west. I need a little more fun before I end this game.

Twenty minutes later (give or take)


"Perfect." I look out at Batman hanging over the ledge in front of me. A rope tied to the outstretched tree limb and tied to his own handcuffs is the only thing keeping him from falling in to the large artificial pit below. Twenty-five vertical feet is all that separates him from the panther enclosure. His cowl lies at my feet.

"Wake up boy. I have some questions before you die."

[Shriek]

My eyes begin open. I realize what I keep seeing is not red. I blink my eyes a few times and feel the cold breeze hit my face. He took my cowl. I look down only to see panthers.


"Wake up boy. I have some questions for you to answer." He tells me. He has his arms crossed and my mask is hanging from his belt.

"What questions?" I ask as I begin picking the locks on the handcuffs.

[Mr. Obsession]

Stalker


"What questions?"

Good, the time has almost come.

"I must confess, since you have no chance of winning at this point I'd like to know at least one thing: If you had defeated me what would you have claimed for your trophy?"

[Shriek]

"Your freedom!" I shout and then begin to laugh as I pick the lock.

"My freedom? Please child. Be real here. You are the one hanging over the pit." Stalker begins to laugh with me.

I break into an eviler laugh and so does he. I continue to busily pick the lock and distract him by saying, "It's funny. Because after I'm out of here I am going to whoop your ass!"

"You? beat me? The Stalker? Hush child." He extends his staff and stands in the darkness. The only light comes from the lamp in the panther pit. Just bright enough for the both of us to see eachother.

I move my left index finger and the handcuff opens and I slide off the ledge. I grab the ledge with my left hand and hang above the pit. I reach over and grab Stalker's left leg. I yank on it and he falls over the ledge.

I hang looking at him fall into the pit. He lands on a Panther instantly killing it. The panthers begin to circle him. He is defenseless.

I pull myslef above the ledge and grab his staff. I drop it into the pit. "Catch this! You'll need it!"

[Mr. Obsession]

This can't be happening! The only thought that will register in my mind as I fall...

...and land on one of the panthers, killing it instantly. "Well better it than me" I mutter as I get up. If the cat hadn't broken my fall my artificial spine could have been badly damaged, or worse. Thankfully I'm not quite helpless -- yet.

The remaining nine panthers are circling me now. I know I can take 2 or three of them but nine? I know, without a doubt that I am a dead man.

"Catch this! You'll need it!" I look up and see Batman standing at the ledge. He tosses my staff down.

His aim is good and the retracted staff lands in my hand. I expand it to it's full length. I look back to the panthers, I may be able to kill three more, but my end is still near.

I look back up at Batman. "How does it feel Batman? Even though you had to give me a death sentence to do it, how do you feel now that you've won? To have played judge, jury and executioner? I suppose if I were in you're place I'd feel like a god."

And I charge the nearest panther.

[Shriek]

I stare down at him. I don't feel like a god. All I know is, is that I have won. Whether he dies or lives. I still win. I walk away from the pit. He won't die. He has those gas pellots he stole from me.

I get into a clearing and extend my wings. I activate the rockets and boost off into the night sky.

[Blight]

ooc: Okay, now that the fight is over (except for the Stalker v.s the panthers) I can post my next part! Here we go!

ic: I lay down on the beach, resting as much as I can. It has been a few hours at least since I first woke up. I can feel my strength slowly coming back to me. As I lay in the sand, I try to remember how I got here, but try as I might, I simply can't. I sit up and suddenly realize that i'm hungry. I glance at a palm tree and toss a ball of radiation at it, knocking off a couple of coconuts. I run over to them and pick one up. I slam it against the palm tree, breaking it open. I start to sip the liquid inside, when I realize there is somthing lodged in my throat. I start to choke. I clutch my throat, struggling to spit out whatever is stuck in there. I suck in a deep breath and cough hard, and somthing comes flying out of my throat. It lands in the sand in front of me. I look down at it. It seems to be a small white pill. All of a sudden, my memories come flooding back to me. The rush is so quick that it makes me dizzy. I manage to regain my balance, and I stare down in rage at the pill. I pick it up and say to myself, "So Mcginnis, you thought you could defeat me by shoving a pill down my throat?" I throw my head back and laugh, "Well you thought wrong". I crush the pill in my hand and race out to the ocean, my strength renewed. I jump into the water and start to swim. Luckily, the ocean is calm now. I continue to swim, never once stopping, not untill I reach Gotham.

See ya!

Friday 6:30 AM

The nurse finished with the bandages and then had me sign a bunch of papers. She took them from me and escorted me to the door. I know I had school today, but I had to go see Wayne. To see if Terry was alright.

I took the HoverTram to Montoya Drive and got off, walking the rest of the way to Wayne Manor. I was a bit cool, so I zipped my jacket up a little more. This road was darker today than it had ever been before. I walked to the gate and buzzed Wayne.

"Hey, it's-" I started.

"Max. Come in," Wayne replied. I walked up the winding driveway and entered the house. I went to the study and the clock opened up. I went down the stairway to the Cave and saw Bruce sitting with Terry, who was obviously worn out. But he was here, so that was good.

"Sooo, I guess everything went alright?" I asked.

"For now," Terry grunted. "Stalker's gonna have his hands full for a while. How 'bout you? You all right?"

"Yeah, I'll make it. Just a few-" We were interupted by a flashing light on the computer console. Bruce looked over at Terry.

"We've got trouble..."

ooc: Sorry to mess up stuff like that, but I've gotta go. All I can tell you is the "trouble" isn't the Ninja. He'll be back soon enough. You guys can provide the trouble. . See you all around...

[Mr. Obsession]

Barbara Gordon

7 am


That was the longest night I've had in along time, worrying about Terry. Then the call from Bruce at five, a simple message: "Terry won." That's Bruce, straight to the point. Unfortunately he didn't say anything about Stalker, so either he doesn't know or he doesn’t want to tell. Ether’s likely.

We've been combing this park for the last hour an a half, no sign of anyone, wild animals everywhere. The park personal are screaming for me to let them in, but I can't do that, not yet.

"Commissioner. We found something, well someone."

"Who?"

"Park guards, three of them. Sacred out of their minds. All they had was some vidfeed that Stalker set up. They saw most of the fight."

"Most?"

"Apparently the cameras cut out just after Batman was chasing Stalker towards the northwestern section of the preserve."

Well, at least it's something. I sigh. "What's in that section?"

"Wild cat enclosures."

Directing my men, we head off in that direction, finding nothing until we arrive at a pit, faint laughter is all that's emerging.

"Sweet mother of mercy..." one officer says. I stare in shock.

Down in pit I see Stalker, barely conscious, lying on a pile of what were once living cats, panthers, I think. His right leg is shredded with large chucks missing. His left arm is bent in at least five different directions, the hand missing. He barely there, muttering something, laughing. Something is in his right hand.

Paramedics are called and they arrive in about five minutes. After Stalker has been taken away, an officer brings me the object Stalker held, Batman's cowl.

I make a mental note to talk to Terry and find out exactly what happened here.

[Trent Lane]

Friday, 9:01 AM

The web was filled with reports of a man torn apart at a wildlife perserve last night. Though they wouldn't mention the name, I knew it had to be that fellow who threatened me before. Pity, he was a good fighter, more of a hunter, really, but still, very few have the skills he poses. As I do almost every morning, I strech and meditate. I decide to go down to the hospital and see if I can visit this man. I dress and walk down to a cab. I go to Gotham General and am able to get past the guards and nurses easily, thanks to my training in stealth movement. I get to the hunter's room, and he lays in a bed, concious, but hooked up to many machines. He's had artificial body parts surgically put on his limbs, and a big bandage around his middle. He looks over at me.

"You, the man who could take down buildings," he moaned.

"Yes, it is I," I replied. I point at his newest "additions". "From your meeting with the Bat?"

He looks at me, disgusted. "No. A den full of panthers..." He pauses. "-that the Batman left me in."

Hmmm. "So the Batman's responsible for your condition, is he not?" I asked.

He looked at me puzzled. "More or less. Yes, I guess so. Why do you ask?"

"No reason, no reason at all. Take care." I turn and walk out of the room. I pull the recording strip from my wrist recorder. This should be enough to keep the boy Batman out of my way for tomorrow night, I laugh to myself. I put the strip in an envelope, go to the GCPD HQ, and drop it off. Now to wait for the results...

ooc: All coming together now....

[Blight]

I finally make it to Gotham Harbor. I pull myself up and immediatly start to walk. There is no time to rest. Now that I know Batman's identity, I must torture him with all my power. I can see a taxi coming my way. I hold out my arm and the cab pulls over to me. I stick my head through the window and say, "Get out". The driver quickly obeys. I jump into the car and drive off.

I reach my destination in a half hour. I get out of the taxi and look up at Wayne Manor. I blast my way through the gates and into the mansion. I look around, but Wayne is nowhere to be seen. I angrily grab a tall grandfather clock and shove it over. I gasp as I see stairs descending into a huge cave. I walk down into the cave, staring in amazment at my surroundings. Then I spot Wayne, sitting in a chair in front of a huge computer. He is staring at me in horror. "Hey old man!" I say, jumping in front of him, "I'm back!". I produce a ball of radiation in my hand and throw it into his chest. The radiation knocks him to the floor. I can see he is out cold. I look around for some paper, and spot a printer with a piece of paper lying on top of it. I grab a spare pen lying next to the paper, and write a note to Mcginnis, hinting at where I am. I quickly think of where I should hide out, and write that i'm someplace hot. I set the piece of paper on Wayne's chair, and grab Wayne. I haul him out of the house and back to the car. I toss him in the back and speed off.

See ya!
Blight

[Shriek]

I jet around Gotham Harbor looking for Blight. "Wayne I dont see anything at all. I think this is a wild goose chase," I say into the Batmobile com link.

"Wayne?" I ask. Still No Answer. "Bruce? Bruce! Bruce? THis can't be good." I jam the accelerator to full and blast towards the mansion.

As I fly by I notice the front door is missing. I slam the auto pilot button and drop from the cock pit. I extend my wings and fly through the house. I stare in disbelievement. The clock is smashed.

This is just like when the Joker came into the cave. I dash down the stairs. I stare around. Nothing broken. Just Bruce missing. I walk over to the Batcomputer. I see a note from Blight.

"Max. He is somewhere hot." I tell her waiting for her reply.

I stare around looking for her. "Geez McGinnis you are losing it. You dropped her off already." I sit in the computer waiting for the clue to come to my head. Or at least wait until the next clue.

The only thing that comes to my mind is the nuclear sub bay. But he has hidden there already. And I doubt he would do it again.

I hear the batmobile land in the cave. "It's worth a try though." I dive into the cockpit and boost off. As I exit the cave I immediately push the hands down and the Batmobile takes a nose dive towards the water. I pull up and ride inches above the water.

[Shriek]

The Attack Happnened At Midnight. So lets say it's now.

Friday. 12:30 A.M

[Trent Lane]

Friday 12:31 PM

After my little venture to the police HQ, I decide to make a trip down to stately Wayne Manor, just to see if the old man was still there. I had no intentions of killing him now, just checking on him. I get to the gates of the Manor and notice some of the bars had been melted through. The Green man. He was back?! This had to be him. I run up the long drive and get to the house. It had been ransacked. I noticed a note dropped outside the study. The Green man had Wayne. NO! This can't be happening! I planned this all out perfectly, and now someone else was going to kill Wayne. No, I will not give the Glowing Man that pleasure. He is a dead man now. I hurry back to my room and suit up, grabbing my sword and a pouch full of weapons. I'd swing by Kim's for some nuetralizers and then, the hunt would begin...

ooc: Look out Blight, here I come:cool:

[DanaTan]

Heh!!!! Sorry about that guys... ::looks around:: Wow... it's taken me three days to read through all the posts. You've got one great RPG going on here!! I kinda disappeared because of school, but now I'm back :) I just wanted to give everyone permission to use Dana if I were by any chance not able to post... provided that you don't toss her off a cliff or anything like that *hehe* So, I'll try to find some way to fit myself in again... I'll still stick with Dana Tan for now.

I just wanna compliment the amazing job you all have been doing!! wow!!!

OKay if any of you can find some way to shove me in, I'll be happy to take it over from there. I'll just keep reading until I find an opening!

I'm off to sleep now, but I just wanted to say HI to all the new posters :)

E'tienne

[Blight]

ooc: I'm ready for ya flhero311! Of course, you can't find me until I reveal where my hideout is! Ha ha!

ic: I pace around the huge room, awaiting Batman's arrival. I look at Bruce, sitting tied up in a chair. He is still out cold. Fortunatley, I had stashed him in the colder part of the room. I decide to take the time to look at the walls. It is so hot in here, the walls themselves are red. I place my hand on the wall, feeling the intense heat. If I were a normal person, my hand would have been burnt right off. That is why I will have the upper hand on Batman when he comes. I must admit, this huge furnace was an excellent idea. I walk over to my chair and sit down, preparing for Batman.

ooc: Okay Shriek, now that I've revealed i'm hiding out in a giant furnace, you can choose where in Gotham it is, if you want, cause I can't really think of a place.

See ya!
Blight

[Shriek]

I fly low above the ocean surface. I reach the submarine harbor in a matter of minutes. There is only one nuclear reactor submarine so it should be an easy in and out operation.

I drop into the submarine. I dart around the submarine quickly looking in everyroom. "He's not here. I don't belive it."

I get out of the submarine and back in the batmobile. I grab my hand on the accelerators and twist my wrists and I'm off.

I make a long long patrol around Gotham City waiting from some sign of where Blight and Wayne are.

[Bird Boy]

OOC: Since I'm behind, I'll start from where Blight came into the cave...

IC (Wayne):

I sit at the computer, waiting for some kind of communication from Terry.

Ace perks his ears up. He wants to run up-stairs..but..last time this happened....

"ACE! Stay here!" I tell him. He obeys me and sits down, still growling.

The clock was ripped off the doorway. Someones coming down.

I flick on the tracer in the batmobile. It won't get the signal for another hour or so...but hopefully Terry is smart enough to turn the tracer ON....

I swing around in the chair and see Blight descending the stairs.

"Hey old man!" he says, jumping in front of me, "I'm back!".

Oh how I hate Derek.

He grabs me by the shoulders and drags me through the cave and up the stairs.

He throws me into a foul smelling car...must be a cab..one of Gothams "Finest"..

My head hits the side of it and everything goes black.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up in some sort of room. It's warm. Not too cold..not too hot. I'm in some kind of furnace.

I see Blight ahead of me. He puts his hand against the furnace then looks back at me.

My eyes are still closed, so he must think I'm asleep..

I open them a crack to see what he's doing. He sits down in a chair and looks at me...not even aware that I'm awake.

I let my eyes open all of the way. I want him to know I'm awake.

I start to cough.... "my medicene..I need my medicene"

Blight stares at me.

"Do you want me to die? Or still be alive when Batman gets here?"

"Where is it?"

"In my jacket. The ri-..no left pocket". An idea comes to me....

He takes out the pill box and shoves one of them in my mouth.
He goes into another room and gets a glass of water. He puts it up to my mouth and I swallow the pill.

"Now then. I suppose you want food now?" Blight says.
"No. I just want rest." I reply
"Good. Then sleep!" He slaps me across the cheek. And begins to laugh.

These pills* are fast acting. I already feel the drowsiness. Hopefully they still work...

My last few thoughts are cut off by the darkness surounding me. I'm gone from this world...for the time being.

END.

*Pills- They are from the Dark Knight Returns comic (by Frank Miller). Batman took one while fighting Superman and he "died". But, all the pill really did was..well..kill Batman, but after the pill wore off, he woke up again, and his body started working again. So, even though The Dark Knight Returns and the BB world have squat in common, I threw in one of those pills! :)

Friday 1:04 PM

The sky clouded over and it became very cool within minutes. I jumped from rooftop to rooftop trying to find some sign of the glowing man. After no lucky searching a few parts of the city, I pause to sit down and catch my breath. I pull my mask off and breathe deeply, thinking where the Glowong Man could have taken Wayne. They must have some connection to each other, aside from Batman. I keep thinking, but come to no solid conclusion. I look up, thinking the Glowing Man had now beaten me, when I saw a building: Wayne Powers Enterprises. Powers? I don't know who- suddenly, it clicked. Powers must be the Glowing Man. And if my hunch was correct, Powers would be using one of the WP buildings as a hideout, it's so obvious it's not! But where could he hide and not be found? Only one way to find out, I leap from the rooftop and run toward my destiny...

ooc: Kim set the Ninja up with some pretty leathal stuff, not only in weapons but his suit, too,so be on the lookout- Blight may have finally met his match:eek:

[Shriek]

OOC: Everyone Meets There Match When It Comes To Batman Pissed!! MUUWWWAHHH!

IC:
I feel like its been hours but its only been minutes. I stare to the ground of Gotham. He has to be someplace hot. But the more I think about the more I know that everything is hot. I jerk to the left to avoid a bill board.

I stare at a small red button on the dashboard. What's this? I ask myself. I push the button slowly. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! The ear piercing noise crushes through my ear drum.

"Target. Bruce Wayne. Wayne Powers building." The computer says.

"Perfect. A tracer. What a smart old bag!" I reach Mach 2 and fly over the building. I make an aerial approach and land. As I'm landing I notice the Ninja is in the building.

I smash open the cockpit window. Unaware that I am coming I jump kick the door off its hinges and it bashes the Ninja and he falls down the flight of stairs.

"Where you going pal?" I grab his neck and throw him against the wall. "What do you want with Wayne?"

"His life," The Ninja says Courageously to me. "Just like I will take yours and the Glowing man since you are in my way."

"That takes some guts to say that to me." I punch him in the face. And launch him over the railing.

He does some kung fu reversal and brings me with him. How could I be so stupid.

"UNG! UMF! AW!" I shout as I bash into different railings. We land on the ground and out we pop through a door taking us into the Security room.

"GUARDS!" The fat man at the computer shouts.

I kick the Ninja off of me. "You might want to stay on guard. These guys are good. The alarm goes off and a few guards charge in.

I do a few kicks and throw on punch and they are on the ground. I acticate stealth mode and I calmly walk away while the guards attack the Ninja.

I open the elevator doors and free fall into the basement. I land on both feet. The temperature is extrememly hot down in here. I must be close.

[Trent Lane]

Friday 1:37PM

The guards try to tackle me while I see Batman run off in stealth mode with my infared vision filter. I look at the guards and chuckle to myself.

"H-hold it right there!" one squeeks out.

"Alright." I tap a button on my wrist and get a surge of power and strength. I toss the guards against the wall like rag dolls, they hit and flop on the ground.

"I did not wish to harm you, but you gave me no choice," I told them as I left the broken guards to think about their mistake. An alarm went off and hundreds of people fled the building. Batman must have wanted these people out. Powers IS here, why else would he have done this? I walk against the flow of frightened people towards the stairs. I open them up and jump down the stairwell. I land at the basement, where it is extremely dark, but also extremely hot. I switch back to infared and look around. A surge of heat is behind the wall to my side, and it's getting bigger. I jump back as the wall explodes with a green blast, with Batman buried in the rubble. I look down at him.

"You will need my help. I have no intention of killing Wayne- yet. The time is not right. You can form an alliance with me now, and together we can defeat this... THING, and worry about my promiose to kill Wayne at a later time. Or you can fight us both now. Which path do you choose?" I ask the boy. He looked at me, visibley distressed by the thought my plan...

ooc: Okay, Shriek, your move, your move....

[Mr. Obsession]

Stalker


Friday 1:38 pm



I wake and see a shadow over me. I turn to look at my visitor, everything hurts, the medication must be warring off.

"I'm getting tired of cleaning up your messes Stalker."

"And I was under the impression that no one was to be in here, but that doesn't stop people with resources now does it -- Bennet."

"People with resources?" He frowns. "Have you had any other unscheduled visitors?"

"None of any consequence. But let us focus on the now. I can only assume you want something from me."

"I have a job."

I try not to laugh, only because I know of the pain it will cause. "And what of my current condition..."

"I can remedy that."

With those words he has my full attention.

[Blight]

I stare at the still form of Wayne. I can see he is not breathing. What did that pill do to him?! My thoughts are interupted when Batman comes crashing through the wall. "You're too late, McGinnis" I say, shoving Wayne's body into Batman's arms, "The old man is dead!". McGinnis looks in horror at Wayne. "Noooo!" He screams in rage as he slams his fist into my face. The force of the blow sends me flying into the wall. Then Batman leaps at me. He pins me to the floor and says, "Why can't you die!". Then he slams his fists into my face again and again, while screaming in rage. I manage to kick him off me and blast him through the wall on the other side of the room. Through the hole in the wall, I can see Batman caught under the rubble, and a man dressed like a ninja approaching him. I realize it is the man I encountered a few days ago. I do not wan't to deal with the ninja man as well as McGinnis, but it seems I have no choice. I strike a fighting pose and wait for the attack I know is coming.

See ya!

[Trent Lane]

ooc: I'm already to go, just wait until Shriek makes a post, then it's on!!!!

[Shriek]

"Ninja! Help me move these damn rocks!" I shout at him as I throw the rocks off of me. Jesus he's dead I can't believe it.

The Ninja leaps over. And crushes all the rocks into bits and pieces of rubble. He extends his hand. I grab it and get up.

"Cute trick, You still want to be on my side?" I ask.

"Of course." He says.

"You do know Bruce is dead." I say coldly hiding the sadness in my eyes.

The Ninja pauses......


OOC: Take it!

[Trent Lane]

"You know Bruce is dead..."

NO! Someone else has taken his life! Powers has taken his life!! I shout out in rage. Forgive me, Kyodi, my father. I have failed you. I look at the boy.

"Let's finish him," I sternly reply.

I take out my VibroSword and start toward Powers. He stands as if he's ready to take us both on. I look at Batman, teeth grinding, fists clinched. He looks as if he would kill Powers. He will try, but I will ultimately have Powers blood on my hands. I fake right with the sword, Powers lets his defenses down on his keft side to block, and I deliver a cut to his side. He screams in pain, and Batman delivers a upper cut to his chin. Powers flies backward besode the body of Wayne. We stand, allies by fate, and start to make our next move...

ooc: somebody elses turn now...

[Blight]

My left side screams in pain as I land next to Wayne's body. It is not a killing blow, but it still hurts. The ninja leaps at me. I quickly grab Wayne's body and throw it at the ninja. The ninja's sword goes through Wayne's right shoulder. The ninja flings the body to the ground and leaps at me again. I grab him and throw him into the wall. Then Batman grabs me from behind and slams my head into the wall three times. I jump away from McGinnis and slam my fist into his his chest, hard. I hear a reasuring cracking sound and Batman screams in pain. Behind me, the ninja flips onto my back and I fall onto my face. I knock him off me and he then starts to slash violently at me with his sword. He knocks me to the floor and prepares to plunge the sword into my chest. I stop the sword with my hands. I can feel the blade cutting into my hands, but it doesn't matter. I blast him up into the ceiling and scramble out of the way as he hits the floor. Luckily, he cannot move because of the rubble on his back. I grab his sword and raise it high, preparing to slice his head off. Then, I let out a cry of triumph and swing.

See ya!
Blight

[Shriek]

I see Blight raise the sword. I jet into him tackling him to the ground.

I throw an exploding batarang at the rocks and the crush letting the Ninja get to his feet.

I raise Blight up. I glance to Wayne's shoulder. Then I immediately uppercut Blight while still holding him up. I punch him 4 times full strenth with my right fist.

I reach into my utility belt. I find the same piece of ice I used once before to stop Blight.

I head butt Blight. And take out a small medal object. It shoots an electric beam into his brain killing a the memory brain cells making unable to ever ever remember anything about his life at all.

"I'm sorry!" Then I bash him upside the head. "Who needs Ice eh?" I push Blight towards the Ninja.

"Your turn!" I dive towards Wayne. I pick him up and run up the stairs into the lobby.

"Damn Security." I do a few back flips and side kicks and sooner or later the guards are down. I pick up Wayne's corpse. "Thank god your alive! I'm glad you told me that story." I run into the Batmobile. I flip Wayne in and activate autopilot to the manor.

"Good bye."

[Blight]

I stare at the retreating form of Batman in shock. I don't know what that beam did to me, but I feel as if my brain just exploded. After the shock wears off, I suddenly realize that I have no idea where I am. I look around me, surprised. Where am I? How did I get here? Who am I? I scream in frusturastion. I clutch my head and fall to my knees. Suddenly, I see a man wearing strange cloths moving toward me. He is holding a sword. "Get away from me!" I scream at the slowly advancing man. He doesn't answer. Instead he leaps at me and plunges his sword into my stomach. I scream in pain as the man pulls the blood covered sword out of my stomach and runs away. I manage to pull myself up and walk up a flight of stairs. At the top I can see a few unconscious guards, and one of them is starting to wake up. "Help me" I say to the guard, just before I fall onto the floor. The surprised guard is the last thing I see as my world goes dark.

OOC: Don't worry, i'm not dead. I'm just taking a temporary sick leave!:D

See ya!
Blight

[Trent Lane]

Powers screams at me, pleading for his life. Whatever the Batman did had turned Powers into a raving lunatic. I took my sword and slammed it into his stomach, quickley drawing it back. I look down at him.

"You pathetic worm," I growled at him. "You don't deserve a quick death. I hope you enjoy the pain and suffering." With that, I took off. My time in Gotham had come to an end, it seemed. Wayne was dead, by another man's hands, so I had let my father down. I swore to him I would avenge him, and I let him down. I cried out in anger and punched the wall. I fell to my knees, and knew what I had to do. I walked to the roof of the building, over to the edge. I looked down. It was a long way to go. I looked up to the sky...

"I have failed you, Kyodi Ken. I am no longer worthy of this life."

With that, I jumped...

[Shriek]

I look up to the Night sky and watch the Batmobile jet off.

"What the heck?" I ask myself. I look up to the roof and notice the Ninja is up there.

I see him jump from the ledge and free fall. What is he doing? I ask myself. I blast off into the air after him. My wings extend and 5 seconds later I snatch him out of the air and fly back to the ground.

"What were you thinking?" I ask him viciously.

OOC: Sorry so short. You don't want to quit the RPG do you Fhero?

[Blight]

When my eyes open, I find myself lying in a bed in a small white room. I look down at my stomach, remembering where the strange man stabbed me. I can see bandages covering my stomach. I sigh in relief. I had obviously been taken to the hospital before it was too late. I still have no idea who I am, but I do know one thing. I have to get out of here! Before I know it, i've produced a ball of green light in my hand and thrown it at the door. I stare in shock as the door explodes. Then I smile. For some reason I like what just happened. A nurse walks in through the hole I made and stares at me in horror. She runs away screaming, "Blight's awake! He's loose!". Blight? That name seems familiar, but I can't quite place it. It doesn't matter. Now that I know about the astounding powers that I have, it's time to have some fun!

See ya!
Blight

[Trent Lane]

As I get closer and closer to the ground, I close my eyes. I don't know what the afterlife holds for me, but my failure will surely bring me punishment. My thoughts are broken when I'm grabbed and thrusted upward. Batman. Always Batman. He shoots up to the roof and lets me down.

"What were you doing?!" he asked me.

"The only honorable thing left for me to do," I replied. "I failed Kyodi, my father, I didn't avenge his death."

"How do you know Bruce was the one responsible for killing your father, anyway?" he asked me. "You were, what, five, six at the oldest when it happened?"

"My mentor, he told me Wayne was the killer," I told. "He said the Batman, Wayne, pushed him off a building."

"Whoa, hold on," Batman broke in. "Bruce can be a cold person, but he's not a killer. I'm sure he did all he could to save your father, that's the kind of person he is."

"But, why would my mentor lie?" I asked, confused by my present situation. "What did he have to gain?"

"A lot of people wanted Bruce, I mean, Batman dead," Batman replied. "Who was your mentor, by the way?"

"The Sensei, one of the highest members of the League of Assassains," I replied. "He told me all this. He and another, they refered to him as the "Demon's Head", I think."

"Ra's?!" Batman replied. Our conversation was broken by an explosion towards the middle of the city.

"Hold that thought," Batman said. He put his fingers up to his ear and listened to something.

"Blight," he muttered.

"The Glowing Man? Powers? What is it now?" I asked.

"He's tearing Gotham General apart," Batman replied. "Stay here, I still have a few questions for you." He started to jet off.

"Wait," I replied. "I have a stake in this, too," I replied. "I coming along."

ooc: thanks for the save, Shriek, now I can go into the Ninja's past a little deeper. The Ninja's gonna have a change of heart, I'll promise you that, but he won't take up crime fighting for good. At least not in Gotham city. Stay tuned...

[Shriek]

"You can come to I guess." I mutter. I blast off from the ground and take off towards the hospital. My wings extend and I soar above the city. I look to the hospital and I can see him glowing in the dark.

"We have to get him out of the hospital!" I shout to the Ninja who is following me from behind.

I glide down and swoop up and crash through the window and sphere Blight into the wall. I kick flip up and bash his skull against the wall.

"Who are you!!????!!" He cries in fear. "Get away! A giant Bat!"

So this is how they reacted when Wayne wore the suit. I jump back do one flip and grab Blight with my legs. I start twisting and soon I realize that the whole East Wing erupts is flames.

I am puzzled and I look around. I see the Ninja plow through the flames and smoke.

[Bird Boy]

IC (Wayne):

My eyes open. Everything is dark. My heart starts to race...they buried me already!

touch around were I am..I don't feel any coffin lining... I feel a button. I feel a clunk and then a locking noise.

The batmobile cockpit opens and air rushes in.

My God....I have to get ahold of myself...being burried....

I shake my head on the nonsense my brain put me through. As soon as my head moves I get a stabbing head-ache. It won't stop...

I make my way out of the batmobile and over to the computer...my head still pounding. I check to see where McGinnis, but as the computer turns on, and the screen flashes, the head-ache gets worse.

I go over to the first aid center of the bat-cave and hook myself up to the machine. I lie down and let it take a full scan.

It finishes and prints out a list. I strain my eyes to read it, but with the straining, comes more pain. I stop and tell the computer to read aloud to me.

"There is a large cut in the right shoulder. It contains strong amounts of radiation. Recomendation: Treat as soon as possible."

Great...Radiation...I know that came from Blight..but the cut...where did that come from?

With ever second the headache gets worse. I manage to make my way over to the Computer and alert McGinnis.

"McGinnis....need..help...McGinnis..headaches....must...stop.." my words cut short as everything goes black once again.

END.

OOC: Do what you will..but hurry..I'm an old fart and need medical attention.. :p

-BB

[Shriek]

The voice cuts in on the line. He's in trouble! I slowly walk through the flames. The heat hits the suit but doesn't affect my skin. I make my way through the large smoke only to find the fire department putting out the fire.

"Good boys!" I nosedive out the window. I probably reach like 25 MPH in my nosedive. I extend my wings and swoop up. I activate the jets and fly to the manor.

10 minutes later I reach the cave. I see a near dying Wayne. Oh no!

"Bruce? Are you ok?" I ask carefully. I help him lie down in his chair.

"Dr. Smith! London! -- Radiation Expert of Wayne Tech!" He shouts to me.

I call up Barbara and fill her in on the details. "He has an open cut from the Ninja. And a bad case of radiation poisoning in his arm. I've called Dr. Smith and he says he can treat Wayne's condition easily."

Barbara replies, "Just be careful. I'll handle Stalker, Ninja, and Blight. Just take care of Bruce."

I end the connection. And I bring Bruce to the batmobile. "I have to get some clothes for us."

He looks at me dumbfoundedly. "Are you forgetting who I am?" He smiles.

We hop in the Batmobile and take off to London.

OOC: Well a little change of scenery might be nice.
Here's how everyone can fit in over in London.

FHero - Your sensai who lied to you could be out there

Blight - Well you could buried out there! No just jokin. Maybe there is some Prison out there

Mr 0 - Maybe Bennet's Next assignment has to do with something out there

[Blight]

OOC: London, here I come! Hey, where is London anyway? Can't..............remember...............head................hurts ;)

IC: I jump up, ready to fight the frightening bat creature, but he is gone. I decide I don't like that guy one bit. Then, the ninja man jumps at me from behind. He slams me in the back with his shoulder and butts me in the head with the handle of his sword. He presses the tip of his sword against my neck and says, "I should kill you. But you really are no danger any more". No danger? I'll show him! I grab him by the shoulders and slam my head into his. He staggers back, surprised by my sudden attack. I produce another ball of green light in my hands and throw it at the ninja man. It sends him crashing right through the wall. I smile to myself. I am starting to get the hang of my powers. Suddenly, about thirty guards burst into the room, surrounding me. Then all at once, the guards shoot strange red energy beams at me. The beams knock me to the ground. I look up to see the guards approaching me with nets and shackles. The next thing I see is darkness.

OOC: Next stop, some maximum security prison in London!:D

See ya!
Blight

[Trent Lane]

The blast from Blight through the wall was both a blessing and a curse. I was in a minor amount of pain, but I was hidden from the guard's view. An important looking lady walked into the room and said into a communicator that there was no sight of any ninja. After collecting Blight, they left and I was able to escape. I decided to take a trip, to the son of my teacher, the Sensei. I needed answers to my past, and my father's death.

I pack my things and take the first flight to New Tokyo. After a half day trip, I arrive and take off for the Sensei's sons' dwelling. It is a small , typical Japanesse styled home. I walk up to the front door, and am let in by a small maid, and taken to the study. The voices of two men were coming from inside, arguing about somethihg. The shouting stopped when the little old lady knocked on the door. It slowly opened, and I was let inside. An old man, the Sensei's son, and a young woman stood in the room.

"Ah, the great Ninja returns," the son said to me. "How did your mission go?"

"That is what I am here to talk to you about," I replied. "What really happened to my father?"

The son's face changed, and he began to stutter slightly. "Wh-what do you m-mean?"

"WHO killed my father?!" I asked sternly. The lady held up her hand as the son began to speak.

"Why is this a concern to you?" she asked.

"Because I was told about the Batman, and how he doesn't kill," I say back. "I was told how he most likely did all he could to save him. I-" The woman slapped my face and kneed me in my stomach.

"FOOL!" Her voice completely changed, to that of a man's. She pulled out a dart gun and shot a tranq dart into my neck. "No one talks to Ra's al Ghul in that tone! You failed in killing Wayne, so now you will die. Not fast, but slowly over a long period of time."

Ra's! What happened to him? Why....does......he look....

Everything fades to balck...

ooc: Yes, Ra's survives again. Unless anyone else is intrested in him (/her ;) ) I'll take over the part. Things are again going to get intresting....

[Mr. Obsession]

ooc: Sorry Shriek, but Stalker needs some R&R and Bennet's jurisdiction is stateside. Besides, Bennet has a one-track mind. What do you think he's going to have Stalker do? You silly little man. :p

And I'll probably think of something for BG to do while everyone else is out of town.

[Shriek]

OOC: I just don't want people to feel left out.

[Blight]

OOC: Hey guys, I was thinking, I've been using Blight as my only character for a while now, so I think it is time for me to take on a second character, someone that can work with Blight. And the character that I wan't to use is THE JOKER! Now, as I understand it that's okay as long as I can find a realistic way for him to return again, right? Please let me know.

See ya!
Blight

[Trent Lane]

ooc: Blight, do you have a story on how the Joker would rise again? Curious...

Ra's: I looked down at the body of this supposed warrior and ordered my men to take him away. They dragged him out and closed the doors beihnd them.

"If you want something done, you've got to do it yourself," I said as I slammed my hand on the desk. I pulled back as it throbbed with pain. This body was weak, nothing like my own was the last time I fought the Detective, but it sustained my life all the same. "All I asked is for Bruce Wayne dead, and I can't even have that accomplished. Toshiro, find out the current whereabouts of Bruce Wayne. I need to meet with him again."

"Y-yes sir," he replied, as he slithered out of the room. Soon, very soon, I'll have Bruce Wayne's life, and Batman's spirit broken, all parts of the puzzle will fall into place, and I will finally be able to cleanse the Earth once and for all....

ooc: I'll make this work, and even go back to Bruce and Ra's final battle in 2009! Stick around, this'll get real intresting fast...

[Shriek]

OOC: Blgiht I'd say I'm cool with the idea, but do you think you can wait for the Ra's/Ninja story is over?

[Blight]

OOC: No problem Shriek. And as an answer to your question Flhero, I do have a few ideas on how The Joker could return for the second time, but i'm not telling you or anyone!:p But I don't have a definite idea yet anyway. I'll let you guys know when I do.

See ya!
Blight

[Trent Lane]

As Toshiro left the room, I walked over to the window and looked at the small pond full of goldfish. I began to think back, before I was forced to take on my... present form. The year was 2009...

I had finally created a plan to totally restructure the Eart once and for all. I even came up with a way to take care of those who would oppose me, especially the Dectective, seeing as he would catch on to my plan faster than anyone else. It all started off with a series of explosions, a few in the Middle East, Paris, London, Tokyo, Metropolis, Gateway City, and New York. Gotham was sparred because I was basing my plan from that location. Millions were killed, millions more injured, and the world was on full alert. I sent a message to the Dectective and his Justice League, wanting them to chase me down. I drew all of them- Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, and the Flash- to Gotham City, and intended on killing every one of them. I used a temporary paralyzation device on the Flash, to keep him on the sidelines. My men used flame throwers to keep the Martian Manhunter occupied. Superman was weakened by the kryptonite beam I had in place. Then I made my fatal mistake, an early attack on the Detective. My daughter's love for him overtook her and she turned on me. She released the trapped League members from my weapons, but not before I launched a series of missles that would destroy most of the United States, which would in turn cause the rest of the world to collapse as a result, and started the countdown for a bomb that would level this building and about a two block radius along with it. Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter took off after them. The Batman proceeded to a fight to the death with myself. It was a long battle, and I was winning. Just as I was about to go in for the kill on the Detective, a bullet exitted through my chest. I turned and saw Talia with a gun in her hand, saying "Sorry" while a tear ran down her face. I fell to the ground, knowing my death had come. Batman tried to flee the building as it started to collapsed with Talia, but she stayed behind as the walls came down...

Talia ended up making the ultimate sacrifice for me that night, when my brain waves were placed into her brain. I did not lose all the battle, though. While retrieving the missles, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter were killed as they tried to disarm the bomb. Superman went into mourning for these fallen heroes, and adopted his black costume after that battle. My thoughts are broken when the door opens up-

"Master, we've found Wayne," Toshiro said. "He's in London."

"Very well," I replied. "Prepare my jet. We leave immeadiatly."

ooc: Well, I hope that was a somewhat believable story of the near appocalypse of 2009, and the ultimate fates of some of the JL. See you in London!!!
