Re: Loose Ends: From Shadow Works


Ahh...that's alright. emoticon Could you send anything you had cooked up for the event to WG (Sissy) and me in a PM? I want to at least salvage the stuff we talked about in our last session.

Unfortunately, I'll likely be asleep by that time. emoticon

Chapter 5: Tomorrow's Dusk: Summary

Things have taken a grim turn.

As the sun began to set in the city of Metropolis, villainy crawled out of the woodwork. Regan Bellona--aka "Ballista"--looked over the Avenue of Tomorrow, preparing for her mission. She signaled the insane clown woman Sissy Psycho to initiate her attack. Sissy flooding the ventilation system of an office building, turning dozens if not hundreds of people into undead abominations with manic hunger for violence.

The creatures broke out onto the street, attacking anything that moved. Sissy's signature psychic projections, appearing as bunnies, also flooded the streets fueling public insanity.

The heroes Oracle Foundation and Jaeindir arrived on the scene, trying to stem the tide of insanity and mayhem. Jaeindir's previously dormant pyrokinetic powers re-surfaced, allowing her to incinerate the undead. Oracle began a protracted psychic battle with Sissy, which quickly became a bloody contest of wills.

The hero AlephNull soon appeared on the scene, providing backup for the two heroes and trying to assess the situation.

Meanwhile, Bellona's plan was going well. The distraction outside was drawing the heroes' attention as she made her way to her target. Dr. Francis Fields was meeting with Dr. Maverick in his office over a budgetary conflict when he realized that Bellona had come for him. He reached for a neural de-activator unit as Bellona drew closer. Bellona's telekinetics would eventually wreck the security door at his office and leave him vulnerable.

Maverick fled when given the opportunity, taking his research and bow as well as eliminating his would-be test subject.

Outside, Oracle's battle against Sissy grew desperate. In a gutsy move, Oracle trapped her in a bubble of psychic energy and flew up into the air. He then dropped her, allowing gravity to break her concentration. However, Sissy had prepared for this. Using her jet-pack and insane agility, Sissy survived the fall. AlephNull finished the job by managing to knock her out. Unfortunately, she was able to be extracted by Zombo's goons as the heroes took control of the situation. Oracle began to focus on rescuing civilians, taking him out of the fight.

Later in the fight, Frumentar had arrived as well. He provided further suppressing fire on the zombies below, before having Null blow a hole in the nearby building. He hoped to catch Bellona before it was too late.

Unfortunately, it was. Bellona countered Frumentar's feral attack, leaving him in the dust. She threw the vigilante through the wall before putting a bullet in Fields' head.

The sound of the gunshot alerted Jaeindir, who feared the worst. She flew to the exposed office and confronted Bellona. Countering Jaeindir's fiery assault with her own powers, Bellona attempted to tear into the hero's memory. Jaeindir would resist this attack and slam Bellona against the wall.

Frumentar recovered as well, and bounded back to confront Bellona--but the villain would not be beaten so easily. Regan pulled out a detonator and triggered it. She had had bombs planted by underworld contacts, planning to purge the whole facility. Frumentar attempted to drag Jaeindir out of the facility, but Jaeindir countered and threw him clear of the blast.

AlephNull was blown back several feet by the blast, sending him crashing into a boardroom meeting. He returned in time to see the building crumble to the ground in a pile of rubble. Frumentar saw as well, and began digging through the debris in a panic.

Jaeindir burst out of the rubble, her pyrokinetic powers in overdrive. Upon seeing her, Frumentar collapsed to the ground. Null retrieved him and brought him back to his base.

Regan Bellona's body was not recovered from the wreck by emergency services. Only time will tell when the Neural Nightmare will re-surfaced...and with what new goal in mind...
