The Cowled Criminal used stolen powerful artifacts to bring and control the Plaid Wall of Anti-Story. This null field dissolves anything it touches. It destroyed countless universes and almost wiped out seven alternate Earths. The Lurker died, using his life essence to create the Neververse. The Parodyverse/ Satireverse/ Technoverse/ RGA/ Nazi/ Switch Sex/ CB universes are temporarily safe, but the vibrations that keep them separated are slowing down. When that happens they will occupy the same spot and destroy each other.
Believing him to be the abandoned son of the Hooded Hood, the Cowled Criminal has set out to destroy the Multiverse. He tried to set up a bomb on Earth Tricky. It had enough power to destroy the remaining worlds and would have done so except the hero called Swift gave his life to set it off on a smaller scale. Earth Tricky (the universe that Trickshot came from) was completely destroyed and its native Amazing Guy (Tom Irving) was mutilated by the Cowled Criminal. The villain has absorbed cosmic level power thanks to his captive thought being, Yo and his use of the artifacts. The Criminal sent the dying Irving to the front door of Lair Mansion as a message to the defiant heroes.
Despite the fact that Leeta Trainor (formally the Lurker’s servant Humdinger) is dieing, she and her fellow servants; Access, Greg Dean and Soothsayer, have marshaled the combined heroes from all seven Earths to fight the Cowled Criminal and his remaining agents. In the Neververse, all time is coexisting. There is a calming feeling, preventing too much damage across the Earths but sometimes the collective heroes of five worlds have to work together to keep the peace. The heroes have become quite busy doing this as well as preventing further damage from the crazy weather and organizing a battle plan to deal with the Criminal once and for all. Greg Dean hopes to use the Infinity Pencil to repair the damaged Multiverse. He needs time to do this but that is one thing they are rapidly running out of.
Count Armageddon and Brainattack are still abducting villains from the seven Earths for some sinister purpose.
Jack Rabbit has had prophetic dreams that his twin sister, Jackie Rabbit, is going to die. The Lair Legion of Super Heroes member Visionary 5 has grown obsessed with her. He used his teammate to find out that Jackie does not share his feelings. The child vampire Emily Knowles has been keeping a watchful eye on Jackie for some time. The Parodyverse Amazing Guy (Scott Brunsen) is sick of his family getting hurt and has gone to the Hooded Hood for help. We do not know what that help will be.
All of this happened in previous chapters of Crisis on Infinite Parodyverses.
A flash of energy lit up the front steps of the Lair Mansion. Alarms went off through out the building, which caused a mix of heroes to assemble. De Brown Streak and the boy now known as Speedstreak were the first to arrive.
“What’s that?” the kid asked.
“It looks like a portal.” The elder speedster replied. “Be careful, don’t touch it.”
Jon Arnold Swiftman (Speedstreak) obeys. He has not been in the Parodyverse very long. Recently he escaped the desolate pocket dimension where he grew up. Now, taking the first hero identity of his missing father, Jon has been following De Brown Streak around to better learn how to master his speed powers.
“What’s the situation?” Hatman asked as he arrived beside Ziles, NTU-150, Visionary, Jack and Jackie Rabbit, Kid Produce, Ham Boy, Lisa and Liu Xi Xian.
“Ugh. It’s a portal” Liu Xi explained while she rubbed her temples. “It’s very powerful.”
“Are you alright?” Yuki Shiro asked as she caught Liu Xi before she fell. Desert Rose, Trickshot, Natalia Romanza and Chaiki the Psychic Samurai all stood in defense poses, ready for whatever was about to arrive.
“I’ll be ok.” Liu Xi replied.
“Heads up people!” Jarvis commanded like he was still leader. “We won’t be taken by surprise.” Sir Mumphrey Wilton nodded his agreement.
“He’s still a hunk of man, that’s for sure.” Lisa soothed.
Amazing Guy’s Multiversal energy flared up as he floated down to stand beside Fin Fang Foom and CrazySugarFreakBoy! “Wait. I don’t think it’s a threat.”
“Oh my.” Ziles replied as her telepathy alerted her to the identity of the dying figure.
A bloody figure dropped to the ground as the portal closed. His arms and legs are gone, seared stumps took their place. He was barely alive as he lied on his charred back. The remains of his costume covered his privates.
“Who’s that?” April Alice Apple asked as she squeezed CrazySugarFreakBoy’s hand tighter. Behind them Lisette stood open mouthed in shock with Little Guy on her shoulder.
Amazing Guy responded in shock as he knelt down to check on his friend. “Tom Irving. He was the first Amazing Guy. Tom, it’s alright. We’ll get you to the hospital.”
“Too . . . late for that . . .now. Sc . . .Scott.”
“Someone help him!” Scott Brunsen called out. He knew, however, that Tom was right. Uhunalura buried her face in Nats’ shoulder to cry.
Scott turned back to his friend. Anger twisted his face. “Who did this to you?”
“The Cowled Criminal. He enslaved everyone on . . . Earth Tricky.”
Trickshot stood ridged as Natalia turned to him. “What?”
Tom spit out blood as he forced the rest out. “He took it over and had John Byrne create a . . .Time Bomb.”
Visionary shouted to the sky. “Oh Byrne! Will your evil ever fade?” Kerry Shepherdson just rolled her eyes while Fashion Accessory giggled.
Tom continued. “Byrnes dead. So is Speedshark. All of Earth Tricky is gone. It blew up. The . . . Criminal blew it all up.”
“That son of a %^&*%$$!” Trickshot’s face turned purple with rage.
“The bomb would have . . . destroyed all universes but Swift . . .” Speedstreak, Jackie Rabbit, Jack Rabbit, Phantom Ghost Girl, Little Guy and Kid Produce all focused. “. . . Swift used his speed to contain the explosion. He . . . died saving everything.”
“Dad’s dead?” Jon stood in shock as Jackie (her eyes red with tears) embraced him.
“Wait, how did Irving get here?” Mister Epitome asked.
“Tom’s said enough.” Scott bit back at the hero.
“No . . . Scott. He’s right. I was fighting the . . . Criminal. He did . . . this to me. He sent me here with enough . . . life energy to survive. I saw my world, my universe . . .” Tom was finally losing the extra energy.
“Did the Cowled Criminal escape?” Jarvis asked.
“ . . . yes. S . . .Scott?” Tom’s eyes were dulling over.
“Yes Tom?”
“You’re . . . the only AG . . . left. Live . . . on for me. Take . . . my name.” Tom Irving’s heart stopped as a death moan left his charred lips.
Silence passed over the crowd of heroes. Scott Brunsen quietly wept over his friend’s body.
Trickshot turned towards Jarvis, Hatman, Fin Fang Foom and Sir Mumphrey. Everyone could feel his hate. “That’s it! That’s the livin’ end! I’ve had it! Now Irving an’ Swift are dead too? We’re cooling our heals while that %^&$ still lives?”
“We don’t kill Tricky.” Hatman replied.
“Wimp.” Messenger said under his breath.
“No!” Jackie Rabbit stormed over to Hatman and shouted into his face. “Not this time! You won’t do that this time, Jay! He killed them! He killed our friends! He destroyed Vessel and killed our friends! Trickshot’s right!” She turned to the collective leaders. Tears flowed freely down her cheeks. “You can’t just let him! You . . . c . . .can’t!” Jackie sobbed into her twin brother’s arms while Kid Produce stood there, feeling helpless.
“My dad died for us! Let’s avenge him!” Jon shouted. Several others cheered.
“Now hold on, what?” Sir Mumphrey called out. “Yes, that bounder deserves a right old sorting out, but let’s be gentlemen about it and call together a parliament of heroes. Let’s do this proper.”
“I agree with Wilton.” Jarvis replied. “We’ll get the Criminal, but let’s do it the right way.”
Trickshot turned on his heals and started to walk away. “Fine! But call me. I want in.” Natalia followed him. She did not like how dangerous her ex-lover sounded.
Amazing Guy looked up at the leaders. His eyes flashed with power and his face turned to an ugly shade of crimson. “Let Carl come, but I get the Criminal.”
Crisis on Infinite Parodyverses Part 15: Beyond the Silent Shower Curtain.
The Seedytown Dock area, Paradopolis, on Parodyverse Prime.
The Dark Knight quietly drop kicked a thug while Exile created a giant mallet out of extra-dimensional energy to knock a couple more to the ground. Starseed shouted out his power, effectively taking out the remaining criminals.
“GAAAAAAAAHHHH! Well that’s the last of them. I hope Jarvis and Finny let us join in on the big attack. These patrols are getting boring.”
As Exile landed on the hard ground, the heroine known as Pretty Bird stood in the background, helping Gloria to her feet while Catbot calmly rubbed against the hero’s leg. Exile responded to his teammate Starseed. “We all do what we can, ‘seed. I’m sure those guys will pick the best teams for the job.
The Dark Knight grunted as he stood in the shadows. “We have plenty to do right here. Someone is taking all the villains. Until we find out whom, we will remain stupid sitting ducks, just waiting for them to attack.
The Den Defenders floating HQ, over the proud city of Satireopolis, Satireverse
The strong, noble hero called Fugleman stands at parade rest with his hands behind his back. “What ever the parliament of heroes decide, I’m sure I’ll be on the team. I’ve got the raw power to handle any threat.”
Dreamspeaker Kachina Foxglove, aka CrazySugarFreakBabe!, was hanging upside down over Dominic Clancy’s head. She was playing with his hair. This always bothered him but he gave up long ago trying to convince her to stop. “If you say so, Dominic. All I’d like to see is a one on one battle between you and your Parodyverse version, Mister Epitome. Now that would be some serious muscle flexing!”
Dominic sighed.
New Technopolis, Technoverse Earth
Starpom Omega was furious. “As the leader of the new planetary government, I should have been asked to join in the Parliament of Heroes! I have been ruling this world for the last several years!”
“Ruling?” Phase Shift replied.
“What is word? Governing! Still, why do they choose Premiere to join them when he has been gone all this time? He’s not even from the present year!”
“Does it matter?” Phase Shift challenged. “So Premiere is currently lost to us and the version who appeared since the Crisis began is from a couple years ago? He’s still the greatest of us.”
“But he is not the leader! I am!”
The gentle Windblossom stepped in-between the men. “Boy, boys, calm down. Ever since our universe was brought into the Neververse all the crazed fractions have calmed down. For the first time in a long while we have peace.”
Phase Shift looked out the window towards the dark, cloudy horizon. “True, but for how long?”
Paradop-Berlin, Nazi Earth
After another recon of the surroundings, Burning Boy landed on a roof top where Sarah Shepherdson (the heroine and freedom fighter called the second Ghostgirl.
“Well, everyone seems calm enough. Our rebel forces still have control of the city.” “I think the temporary truce is still in affect.” She replied as someone on the street caught her eye. “I’d feel a lot better if American Joe was here with us instead of at that gathering of heroes. I don’t trust the Nazis. Not after what they did to my family. Look down there. Is that who I think it is?”
Despite all logic, what Sarah saw was completely true. Years after his death, American Joe’s teen partner, Spunky was alive and well.
Lair Town House, Lair Peninsula, Earth Switch Sex
Ham-Girl looked up at the picture of deceased members Ms. Jarvis, Troy, Zile, and the female Exile. Two of her teammates were laughing.
“So let me get this straight. Even though you strut around, acting like everyone’s better, they asked for Finita to represent our Earth at the Parliament? That’s so funny!” spiffette started to laugh. WomanWoman joined in.
Ms. Epitome scowled. “I never said I was your leader. It only makes since they would chose the dragon, even if she’s not the best leader.”
“Says you! Just because you dress in the flag and work for the government as their liaison doesn’t mean you can boss us around.” Josephine Pepper (WomanWoman’s real name) shot back.
“Calm down, Joey. You don’t want to rile up Dominique again.” Nail Filey, the talking Nail File, said.
Alex Ross Elementary School, Emerald City, Earth RGA
Amazonia was using her Amazonian strength to hold up a wall while Nite Avenger and Wong Shu carried children to safety. Alloy Man was spraying fire extinguisher foam from his armor to stop the fire. A new hero whom no one had seen before, the Silver Aegis, had a teacher over his shoulder and was climbing down to safety.
“Who is that?” The Bee asked Neptune and the Patriot while the three of them rested after coming out of the fire.
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen him before.” Jon Smith (the Patriot) replied while wiping his eyes.
“You mean he’s not from the Parodyverse”, commented Neptune.
“He could be. The way people are getting randomly swapped between the Earths, who knows if where he’s from? I’m just glad he’s here to help.”
The bustling business district of Kirby City, The Champion Battalion Earth
TWANG!
An electro-net wrapped around a charging stegosaurus. The out-of-time dinosaur crashed into a traffic light.
The short, attractive Archer swings down and lands on the beast. “It looks like you’re not the only dinosaur, Tyranus.”
A gust of wind announced the arrival of the Hawaiian heroine, Mongoose. She replied to her teammate while tying up two velociraptors. “Our resident Rex didn’t hear you. He’s too busy slowing down that heard of corythosaur.
“Whoa, guys! I’m not dangerous! I only look like I’m going to eat you!”
At his full forty-four feet, the boy who could turn into a Tyrannosaurus had a hard time convinceing the anceint herbivores of his intentions. He had to act fast, however. The large reptiles were charging in fear down Orange Avenue and would soon charsh stright into Rochelle’s Day Care. He turned to see two abandoned school busses.
“Hope my school doesn’t mind if I barrow these.” With his own impact vibrations adding to the noise of the oncomming dinosaurs, Tyranus charged towards the busses. He bent down, crunching his powerful jaws on the first bus, then lifting it up into the air. “Ugh! This tastes disgusting!” he thought as he threw it in front of the reptiles. Tyranus then repeated the act with the second.
With a terible crash, the duck-billed dinosaurs fell onto each other. The young hero in the large dino-body used his jaws to bend some light poles down onto the corythosaurs, trapping them. “There! Whew! I just wish I knew why time is so screwed up.”
Blackbird flew overhead. The mechanical whine of his bird armor filled the air. “Who cares? I want to know why I wasn’t called to the Parliament of Heroes meeting instead of Alpha Prime.”
Mongoose sighed. “You’ll never change.”
On top of a random sky scrapper in Paradopolis, Carl Bastion sat. He’s been here for a couple hours, quietly thinking of his home world, Tom Irving and Swift.
“Want some company?” Natalia asked as she came up behind him.
“No. I want revenge, Talia. I want the Cowled Criminal dead for what he did.”
“Carl, you don’t really . . .”
He turned to look back at her. His eyes were red with tears. “YES I DO! Don’t tell me what I want. He destroyed my universe. My world!”
“This has been your world for years now. Until recently you thought your Earth was already destroyed.”
“So? Don’t you see? When I found out it was still around it gave me hope. I knew there was a chance I could go back.”
His worlds stung. Natalia Romanza was a native of the Parodyverse. In this universe she and Carl Bastion were married. She made a terrible mistake that she would always pay for. She set him up to be killed by Baron Zemo. On Earth Tricky the opposite happened. Her Earth Tricky duplicate betrayed the Baron instead and was killed for it. Trickshot left his Earth for the Parodyverse and has tried mostly unsuccessfully to rekindle their relationship ever since.
“You would’ve returned? You wanted to move back to your Earth?”
Carl’s face softened. “No. Wait. What I meant was . . . Aw shoot, Talia. I just wanted to see it again. Make sure everything was all right.” Carl’s mood returned to anger as he looked up at the night sky. “But everything wasn’t all right, was it? He enslaved the people, then killed them. He has to pay for that.”
“But you’re not a killer.”
“Try me.” His eyes frosted her soul.
“Don’t go, Carl. Stay here with me. Please listen. You’ve always reacted. You wanted revenge on the Narrator, now the Criminal. When is it enough? When will you be able to settle and start acting on life and not reacting on the past? Don’t go with the heroes. You don’t have the power to do anything significant among them. Stay. I’ll . . . we’ll . . . we can go somewhere. Just the two of us. It will be special.”
“Talia, we haven’t had ‘special’ in a long time. Why start now?” He shot a rope line across the street and swung away. Carl did not even look back to see her tears.
Strange rocks floated about the Neververse. The Observer, Utah, watched from one of them.
The seven remaining Earths could be seen down below. They were still merging. On those worlds there were many, many heroes, trying to keep the populace calm. Eleven leaders were chosen to serve as a Parliament of Heroes. They have been discussing their final assault on the Cowled Criminal and his forces. The floating rock over looking the merging worlds was just big enough for them and four others.
The deceased Lurker’s agents stood there. They were Leeta Trainor, Scott Asher (Access), Soothsayer and Greg Dean. Leeta began, “Thank you for coming everyone. You eleven are the leaders of your separate heroic forces.”
She pointed to each as she announced them. “Jarvis, whom some say created it all was the first leader of the Lair Legion whom started the legend. Fin Fang Foom, iconic Makluan hero whom kept that legend burning. Sir Mumphrey Wilton, whom has served with both the League of Improbable Gentlemen and the Lair Legion, bringing both teams through such hard times. Hatman from the Parodyverse, whom started at the very bottom of the heroic latter, and worked himself up through personal tragedy to stand firm before great opposition. The Hatman from the Satireverse, whom has led the Den Defenders for years, opposing Lord Nats and his terrible forces. Premiere, the first science Hero of the Technoverse and champion to so many whom have suffered on two worlds. American Joe, whom lead the Golden Age Matadors for seventy years against tyranny. Finita Fan Foom, fierce Makluan leader of the League of Righteous on Earth Switch Sex. Alpha Prime, immortal warrior whom never lets the Champion Battalion down. Genesis, sole survivor from a doomed world who grew to be a strong leader among the Righteous Guild of America. Amazing Guy, whom . . .”
“Enough with the Who’s Who.” AG snapped, which startled everyone. “We know who we are. Let’s discuss how we’re going to stop that madman.”
“First off . . .” Greg Dean interrupted. “before you build a plan of attack, there are strong ties to the Omniverse that we must sever.”
“What? Wait. I Thought the rest of the universes were dead. What’s the Omniverse?” Finny asked.
Leeta explained, “The Omniverse is the term used by some to explain all the multiverses. A Multiverse is a collection of many universes, all separated by different vibrational speeds. An Omniverse is a collection of many multiverses. The Cowled Criminal has destroyed millions of multiple universes that are connected to your Earths, all of them from the same Multiverse that contained your worlds. He has almost finished them all.”
Greg continued, “There are many, many more universe, even multiverses, out there and through the ties that our worlds naturally create, he could travel to those worlds as well. Once he destroys our seven, there will be no stopping him. I have devised a way to sever those ties.”
“It all seems a bit cosmic to an old war horse like myself.” The Satireverse Hatman replied.
“It is complicated.” Access said. “For years it’s been my job to travel from universe to universe, keeping people in the right places. Well, it was the real Access’ job.”
He received blank stares for a moment so he continued. “I was a copy, for lack of a better word, of Access. I became the Narrator.”
Amazing Guy, Finny and Hatman both looked at him in shock. “Wait! You’re the Narrator? The same man who sent the ManManHunters after us? The same man who unleashed the Reality War?”
Leeta stood in front of Access. “No! He’s no longer that man. The Lurker purged him from that evil. He’s now just Scott Asher, Access.”
Soothsayer spoke up. “Please. This is not the time to fight over old scores.”
Sir Mumphrey put an aged hand on Amazing Guy and Hatman’s shoulders. ”Let’s let them finish.”
Greg continued. “Thank you. We need to cut off seven Earths from the rest of the Multiverse and keep the Cowled Criminal from building his power. This will save the rest of the Multiverse and limit his victims to just the seven Earths.”
“Oh, just us. I’m so relieved.” Genesis said.
Greg continued. “Access has the inert ability to open doorways to other universes. What we’re proposing to is for Access to use his energy in one large push. According to my readings his unique energy would be enough to sever the link.”
“What I don’t understand is why bother at all? Let’s just go to the Criminal’s home and stop him.” American Joe asked.
“What if you fail? This is our back up plan.” Greg’s words struck the heroes.
Finny asked, “I still don't know. Are we sure it will work?”
Satireverse Hatman joined in. “There is so much risk.”
Amazing Guy jumped at that. “We have no choice! Too many have died already!”
“AG’s right. We have to strike now!” Hatman added.
American Joe nodded his head. “You young fellas got the right idea. It’s the only way.”
Sir Mumphrey spoke up. “We really should ask the man who would lose the most from this.”
Hatman said, “Yes. Scott, what do you think? It’s you who might die because of this.”
Everyone looked at Scott Asher, the man called Access. Scott looked at them with a grave expression. “If I have to die to stop the madness caused by the Cowled Criminal, then so be it.”
Leeta shouted. “NO! First I loose him and now you? It’s not fair! There must be some other way! Sir Mumphrey, surely with your watch . . .”
Sir Mumphrey Wilton sadly replied. “I wish madam, but as you know, my devices have not been working properly since the Crisis began. My hands are tied.”
Premier said, “Access knows the risk, Leeta. He’s the only one who can.”
Scott held Leeta, a woman whom he had only recently met yet he became so close to. “I have to, my love. It’s what my life has led too. If I don’t do this, the Neververse will be destroyed. Good bye.” He kissed her and stepped off the rock.
He felt the universes merging. He then turned inward to his power.
Access has always had the ability to bring people from one alternate world into another, but since the loss of one so like him, he has felt that power grow. He should not be here. He knows this. After all this time doing what he has done to others as the Narrator, he felt that it should have been him who died.
But finally he had a chance to redeem himself.
Access focused deeper inside. If he poured all his energy into the worlds, the universes, he might be able to close them off. The Cowled Criminal could still get the Neververse and the worlds inside it , but all those other multiverses would be safe.
Amazing Guy pulled up a Multiversal shield to protect the others as Access’ power went nova. They could no longer see him, as he is completely absorbed, Access’ life essence was turned into pure energy. Scott Asher’s last thought was of Leeta as he vaporized.
The energy exploded out, gathering the Neververse and the worlds within it and swallowing them. Everyone on those Earths watched as the sky blazed. For an hour the lightshow continued, the essence of Access enveloped the Neververse, pushing it farther from it’s original location. This act severed any ties it had to the remaining Multiverse.
Greg Dean watched impassionedly. His machines told him what he already knew. “It’s done. He’s gone but his life energy sealed us off. The Earths are still merging, but time has reset itself. There are small pockets of time anomalies where the universes touch, but otherwise everything has retuned to a semblance of normalcy.
Leeta broke into tears on Soothsayer’s shoulder.
After a few moments Jarvis spoke. “All right. Lets discuss the our plan of attack.”
Access’ life energy did not stop with separating the Neververse from any and all connection to other universes. It left the saved worlds and passes into the cosmos.
A broken Azure Arach watched the energy reform the Multiversal web, recreating the alternate universes as it traveled backward through time.
The Omniverse started to heal. The Cowled Criminal failed in his attempt to destroy all. He would have to settle for wiping out the Neververse and all the lives within it.
The Home for Golden Oldies rest home in Dullard’s Corner, Paradopolis
The television showed a picture of several colorful people in the middle of the desert. Jack and Jackie Rabbit’s aunt, Maybenot Dursy, sits in a chair by the TV while the aged Jonny Yoyo, former crime fighter from the 1940’s, sits beside her. His two visitors comment on the events shown on the television.
“I wish I could join them.” Terry Lucas, AKA CrazySugarBlast-OffLad!, said.
His wife, Patricia Pike Lucas, replied, “Some of us need to watch over our world and friends.”
“I know. It’s just suck a risk.
The middle of the Mojave desert, where a large scientific machine hummed.
Cables and wires tie the large machine to a small, reinforced control shed. Inside Al B. Harper continued to oversee the control mechanisms while Amy Aston lied under the control counter, banging at it with a large wrench.
“Al!” Muffy Framlicker shouted. “Your pets are getting into the wires!” She turned to face the Bonsai Kittens “Stop it!”
“Meeyeeow. You heard her, girls. Leave those wires alone. They’re not string.” Minx commanded.
“Aw, you’re no fun.” Ginger purred.
“I think we could stay if we really wanted to.” Annastasia dared as she continued to paw the wires.
Muffy spoke into the intercom, “Glory? We need you in the control room, please.”
With mutual hisses, the Bonsai Kittens left rather quickly.
Justin Tyme handed a printout to Al.
“All right.” Al said after a quick glance. “I believe we’re all ready. Everything is set on our part, Greg. Are you ready?”
The thick cables traced the hot desert ground to a large metallic platform. On it stood the most powerful beings on seven Earths. They were filled with anticipation.
Greg Dean, the last survivor from a long dead universe, gave the signal. He was standing on a smaller second platform. Al B. Harper shouted, “Go!”
Greg started to glow as he held tight to a cable. It was attached to both platforms and the booth. Everyone either pointed or covered their eyes as a strange, shimmering portal opened up from within Greg’s body. The young man looked to be in great pain but continued to hold out as the collective heroes and their plat form started to move towards the ever increasing portal.
“Listen, sis. I’m not so sure about this.” Jack Rabbit said to his twin sister Jackie as they moved beside the perimeter fence. “That group has such heavyweights as Donar, Finny, AG and NTU-150. All we have is the proportionate abilities of common rabbits. Let’s sit this one out.”
“The Cowled Criminal killed our father, Swift, Pigeon Woman, Vessel and so many others. We can’t let him get away with it!” When she turned to look at him he was startled at her blazing expression. “I’m going with. Period.” With that, the lady lupine leaped onto the pad. Jack did the same, saying as he jumped into the air, “But we went invited!”
Just as the platform and all aboard it vanished, a speeding blur grabbed on at the last minute.
In the crowd of people who turned up to watch the heroes leave, omike015 turned to Travis Hawkins and Adam Taylor. “Did you see that? Someone jumped on at the last minute!”
Bernice Teschmacher replied while looking at the spot where the heroes were, “Whoever it was, I don’t envy him or her.”
Leeta grabbed the exhausted Greg Dean as the now older man slumped to the floor.
I'm going to try and wrap this up this next week and post it.

* A fine gathering of heroes. (no text) - killer shrike's favorite part was the scene with Tricky and the Contessa - Sat May 19, 2007 at 02:17:39 pm EDT
