Bangkok, Thailand

“I try to remember what it was all like before…before the tights and masked heroism, before the spotlight cast a blinding light on all the darkness that had crept in.” Loveless paused as she held a handkerchief up to her face. “I am sorry, people of Bangkok, people of the world I want you to know myself and my team had to make some truly difficult decisions. We tried…damn it we tried…but sometimes. Oh God, sometimes it’s just not enough.” She looked up from the podium she had been holding on to for support. Members of her team at her back, some looked onto her out of sympathy and pity, other members looked out at the throngs of people. Local people, soldiers, other heroes thrown into this mess, all looking for answers and the next step in recovery up at the woman that stood before them. She gripped the podium that her green leather of her gloves creased, if this continued the wooden podium would begin to splinter and break. The cameras from the internal news teams gathered around her as the flashes and questions hit her and her companions like a barrage of bullets. Loveless had tried to balance and gather her thoughts for her closing statement. One question snuck in though when her defenses were down.

“Miss Loveless!! Loveless! Who should pay for these transgressions? Granted your team did stop the devastation to a certain degree. But without them we may still a world to defend!! Now major cities across the globe are in ruins! Look around you!! Look at the once historic and stunning Bangkok! Temples and skyscrapers mere piles of rubble, homeless people make up this country now!! Children have nothing now! Families torn apart, communities destroyed, yet you supers get the glory and go back up to your hideaways to safety and luxury!!” The flustered news reporter was ushered away by security as he shouted more accusations and rhetorical questions. Loveless bowed her head as she looked away from the man with the rose colored face that spatted and sputtered out of anger and fear. She drew the might towards her and said her final words.

“He is right…under my leadership I made the calls. The level of destruction…the lack of”--she turns away and catches her breath. “I will be charged in a court of law, and it will be handled from there.”

Loveless is looks at her team and gives them a half hearted smile and reassuring knob as she allows the security to put meta-human cuffs on her. She is escorted through the crowd as the mobs of people throw and say horrible things to her. She just keeps her head to the ground and listens as her team tries to calm the crowd in the distance…with no avail.

Present day (November 17th, 2012) 6:00PM
Champion City

Lady Loveless held the Styrofoam cup up to her lips. A smile escaped her before the warm air that gently cooled the white mocha drink she had ordered. She had the mocha drink to keep her warm on one of those cold fall nights, but more than that an old friend. His codename was ‘Slicer’ she knew him from back when she was the Headmistress of a school for young mutants trying to find themselves and harness their powers. The school closed after only being open for a few years, due to lack of funding and the underbelly side of what the school was also used for. Which was a training ground for a team known as the X-Viners, which Lady Loveless and Slicer were both members of. They had grown close while working on the team together and had stayed in touch even after it disbanded. Just a few emails and texts here and there, and of course Facebook friends, this would be their first time since the team broke up they had seen each other in person.

“So Loveless, how do you like living in Champion City? Miss the mansion at all?”

She paused as she looked around as the street lights started to flicker on. “Well it’s different, I mean pretty good city, with the crime rate relatively low…” she smirked after she said that and took another sip of her drink.

“And who do we have to thank for that?” He nodded his head as he leaned back in his chair and propped himself in a most uncomfortable shape. “Loveless why now? Why did you call me here?”

She stopped sipping her drink and neatly placed down on the table. “I mean we had a lovely day together catching up and reminiscing…I was wondering when we were going to get down to business.” She moved the drink off to the side and rummaged around her bag that had reminded idle the whole night.

She plopped down a stack of files onto the table. The wiry metal table shook as it absorbed the shock of the stack, upon stack of papers.

With a cock eyed look Slicer looked at Loveless and then peered at the mountain of thinly dismembered pieces of trees that lay before him.

She looked at with utter concern, “just like then I need your help…more than ever. The government has hired me to form a team. This is a global issue that not even they can handle. The expertise and precision we must have to be perfect, have to be almost Uncanny. The X-Viners are back on! But I have had to enlist the help of a few new faces with a broad spectrum of powers and abilities from different parts of the world…or universe for that matter. Laying before you is the crisis we must face, and those that have been selected to join. She studied his face as she looked for some type of answer, his eyes grazed over the unopened files. He reached his hand over for one file that had scribbled on it ‘Slicer’.

“Well let’s see what they got on me.” He opened the file like a newspaper and leaned back in his chair. He laid the file down on his stomach and grinned at the emerald beauty, “I am in by the way. No worries Loveless I got your back.”

Loveless smirked at him and then picked up a different file, one of the team mates she wasn't too familiar with. “Oh hey Slicer…so one of the members of the team should be meeting us here any moment now.” He gave her the thumbs as he continued to skim through his file.

Slicer stood directly behind and to Loveless' right. His eyes narrowed, and slammed a gloved hand down on the podium. "Dammit, shut up man!" He growled in his English accent. "Preferably before I see fit to fillet you like a trout." He grinned. He liked being angry, it was something that came naturally, like breathing, or popping his claws, or diving into battle, a roar of "X-Viners! Attack!" rising on the wind as he began to drive his claws into metal or flesh or god-knows-what.

As Loveless spoke her words, he froze in disbelief, then turned to face the security people as they approached, his hands curling into tight fists. "You ain't takin' her." He said, ready to pop his claws with a single thought, then he looked at Loveless, knowing that the X-Viners would fall again if they were both taken, and he visibly sagged, his muscles losing all of that tension, his face losing the smirk it normally held. He looked at Loveless as the cuffs snapped into place, and threw his arms around her shoulders, whispering into her ear. "Listen. I'm going to find you. I will find you." He said in a low tone, then let her go, smiling with what little confidence he could muster, then turned back to the crowd, stepping up to the podium.

"I'll be takin' yer questions now. Slicer, second in command of the X-Viners." He remarked. His silver and black costume brought some odd looks. He didn't have much experience with the press, but he had a fast mind, and an even faster mouth. With these two gifts, he tried desperately to field the barrage of questions that the press assaulted him with, running his gloved hands through his black hair in despair. His mind flew back through the months and years, and a small smile touched his face. Michael would incinerate this whole crowd. He thought with a grin. D. Blue would know how to deal with all these questions. His body was on auto-pilot, answering questions as he thought. He came back to the current place and time abruptly as one of the team members began to move after Lady Loveless, extending an arm to stop the team and looking back at them. "Hold your positions." He ordered. "She knows what she's doin'. So do I." He said, trying to inspire confidence in the team. He should've known better than this.

November 17th 2012 6:00 pm

Champion City

He'd been training for many months, cut off from most of the civilised world, before Lady Loveless had called him here. He secretly blamed himself for the fall of the original X-Viners team, and had been working to become stronger. If he'd said that he wasn't happy to see her again, he would probably have been flat out lying, but he did his best to carry it off with the swagger and cockiness she was used to. "So, Loveless, how d'ya like living in Champions City? Miss the mansion?" He asked, placing a cigar to his lips and fishing through various pockets for a lighter.

She smiled at him. That was something he'd missed, people smiling. A small, stupid little expression that used only a negligent amount of facial muscles, but he had missed, having spent the last several months in the company of either stern-faced or scowling monks. "Well," She said, after a moment. "It's different, I mean pretty good city, relatively low crime rate." She finished, bringing her styrofoam cup to her lips. He could feel the steam and smell the beverage from where he stood.

"Loveless...why now? Why'd you call me here?" He asked, leaning into a shape anyone else would consider excruciatingly painful. Damien had found out a while back that if you housed giant metal razors in your arms twenty-four hours a day, it altered your perspective of pain slightly. "I mean we had a lovely day together, catching up and reminiscing..." He corrected himself, then paused. "I was just wond'rin when we were gonna get down ta business." He remarked, revealing his thoughts since she'd called him away from the monastery where he'd been training.

When she dropped the pile of files onto the table that could barely hold their weight, his eyebrows rose sharply, then looked at Loveless, then back to the files. The last time he'd been confronted with files like that, it was the judge handing him a sentence for his most recent DUI. The time before that... "Just like then I need your help…more than ever. The government has hired me to form a team. This is a global issue that not even they can handle. The expertise and precision we must have to be perfect, have to be almost Uncanny. The X-Viners are back on!" Yes! He cried mentally, a sense of joy flooding his senses. "But I have had to enlist the help of a few new faces with a broad spectrum of powers and abilities from different parts of the world…or universe for that matter. Laying before you is the crisis we must face, and those that have been selected to join." She said to him, eliciting a smirk from the old war horse. Lying on top of the pile of folders, whether by accident or design, was one with "Slicer" scribbled on the front. "Let's see what they got on me." He remarked gleefully, like a kid at Christmas.

He flipped open the cover and began reading, then looked up at her, noticing her studying his face. He laid the file on the white vest that covered his broad chest. He grinned that she really wanted him for this, that much he could see that in her face. "I'm in by the way. No worries Loveless, I got your back." He grinned, then went back to reading. The did have quite a bit of information on him, most of his military missions, everything on his time with the X-Viners, but after that, their information seemed to indicate that he'd fallen off their radar, which is what he'd wanted in the first place.

Loveless was looking at him, he didn't even need to look up to be able to tell that. "Oh hey Slicer...so one of the members of the team should be meeting us here any moment now." He gave her a thumbs-up, and went back to reading. They seemed to have a detailed "Powers and abilities" section, mostly driven by the skills he'd learned in the British army. What they didn't know was that he'd used the old school's mature learner's system, and as such, was smarter than they gave him credit for now.

Bangkok, Thailand

Tellumo was sick of this, the leader he'd grown to respect & care for over the less than a month that he'd known her was being carted off to a jail cell for doing good. He's an impulsive person which isn't always the greatest personality type to have with powers that could level entire cities through a single gesture. He crossed his arms behind his back as he stepped close to slicer & whispered into his ear.

"I'll make a distraction & hopefully we'll get in these philistines good books."

Slicer looked wary of what Alphonse had planned. Still hiding his hands he shaped patterns that looked like he was playing a distorted instrument, like a fusion between a guitar, piano & trumpet. Bursting forth from the horizon came a hulk of earth the size of a skyscraper creeping forward with soulless eye sockets staring with murderous intent. This was his creation & he would perform a beautiful play of heroes who would save the people from the evil creature. Then again maybe the team wouldn't be so happy about this. Either way they should probably save the leech reporters.

November 17th 2012 6:10 pm

Champion City

Alphonse whistled casually with his hands in his pockets as he walked the streets (not in that way) of his adopted home. He was supposed to meet people that wanted his 'unique talents' he took this as a team needing a bit of eye candy & his current team wanting to be rid of him as soon as possible. He met up with a pair that looked extremely out of place in this fairly simple area with their filmstar looks. He approached them & leaned in to ask

"So am I interrupting something?"

The duo looked slightly disgruntled at his appearance, probably due to his late arrival at their meeting place. Regardless the woman who appeared to be in charge of their little operation replied

"Not at all. Take a seat."

She gestured towards an empty seat which he then promptly placed himself in. He spied in front of him a stack of files, like a bright beacon calling to a moth he could see his name amidst the paper, he promptly slid it out & took a peak.

"Hey I'm not irresponsible, reckless & impulsive. I'm quirky & risk-taking & quick acting."

Maya couldn't believe what was happening, "How did this even happen?" she thought to herself as she stood part ashamed next to her teammates but also concerned for the leader, Maya wanted to speak out but thought best she shouldn't say anything..Maya turned her head away not wanting to see her get taken away...soon the crowd began to insult their leader and become aggressive.

Maya walked in nervously, she decided to come in early in the morning rather late at night..despite being day time she wore her super hero costume to show that she was enthusiastic.

seeing what she thought was the two recruiters she took a seat and put her palms on her lap "Hello, my name is Maya"

Standing silently, the automaton designated as Machina observed Lady Loveless being taken away. He readied to spring to her defense, ready to summon his suit, allowing him the ability to simply fly over to his commander, snatch her from the officers holding her, and fly away. The second in command, and now, apparently, leader, instead ordered him to halt in place, so he did, the memory of obeying orders deeply ingrained in his brain. He stared at Tellumo's moving hands and readied his boot jets and palm concussive blast generators, the two devices whirring into life. Whatever he was going to do would no doubt cause anarchy. As the monster burst forth, Machina's brain went into overdrive. His two prime directives clashed, one to save the innocents, one to obey orders. Eventually the former let go when the one designated Slicer cried out "X-Viners move! Maya, Machina, get the reporters away from that thing, then join the rest of us! Everyone else, attack hard and fast!" The British mutant yelled, leaping from behind the lectern, two sets of claws being released from in between his knuckles with a wicked SNIKT!

By the time Slicer had finished talking, Machina was in the air, and dived at the reporters closest to the monster's crashing fists and feet, maneuvering like a guided missile, dodging through arms and legs of stone, grabbing one in either hand and flying to a safe distance at a speed of around seventy miles per hour, then returning to repeat the process over and over.

Champion City

Machina stared at the organic before him. "Query: Why should I ally myself with your group?" He asked, his voice full of intrigue.

The man before him blew a cloud of smoke from his mouth. Slicer had been sent to recruit this one, along with a couple of government agents, obviously. "You'll get to see the world. Plus, we need a tech guy. We don't have our old one anymore, and judging by your file...Machina, is it? You are the go-to guy for any IT help." Slicer chomped down on his cigar thoughtfully.

"Confirmation: This unit is indeed designated Machina." He replied to the British mutant. "Admission: by utilising my technopathic gifts, I am gifted in the areas of computerised aid. Addition: I would also aid in combat scenarios." The robotic entity replied.

"So, the X-Viners got ya on board, or am I havin' to persuade ya?" Slicer grinned as he blew out a cloud of smoke into Machina's face.

"Confirmation: I am willing to be associated with the X-Viners." Machina replied, standing up from his chair.

This actually upset him.He cared for her.She grew on her and became one of his closest people.He couldn't handle what was happening and just went berserk.He raised one of his guns and shot in the air and started yelling at the crowd 'IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE GIVING HER?'.He stopped for a moment.'SHE WAS THE ONE THAT SAVED YOU!" He actually had a lot to care about her.What he felt was almost love and he knew that he and Slicer should save her somehow from what cruelty they had in mind for her.

He knew that he had to do something with his life rather than making plans how to kill the guy that was once his one of his best friends.But now he has no friends.'What does this girl want from me?' he asked himself.He entered the caffe,she was sitting on a table with two men and a girl.He started feeling nervous.That hasn't happened in years to him,he was amazed.He went near to the table,said 'Hi !' and sat down.He met every single one of his teammates and when they finished what htey had to say he started asking his questions.THe first one was really important to him -

'What does the government have for me?'

FBI Sky Base-Currently floating by Mt. Everest

"Grant!" Joan impatiently tapped her foot as she waited for the intercom to respond. Joan hated waiting in general but today she was at her breaking point. Besides the intercom she had been waiting for a "team" she had yet to see. Practicing in the gym and finalizing her workout regiment for each member. Joan had worked tirelessly ever since she saw them actually starting to come together a few days. She had two younger members of the team that looked like they could use some one on one training. Possibly the deactivation power chamber and sparring matches would do well for them. 'Tellumo' and 'Maya' she believed were their file names. Another relied mostly on his weapons and accuracy so possible firing range and target practice, or some more gadgets to get under his belt. The rest would be easy the one coined 'Slicer' would most likely just practice a bit here and there. Lady Loveless would need her time spent mastering more of her psychic abilities and new powers.Finally the Robot, he would just gather as much information on the enemy she assumed. This team would be a challenge in it's own right. Each one came from a different background with varying skill sets. She never taken anything this big on either, the only two that really understood right now were her, Grant, and Loveless. The rest were given a few tangent facts in the files...but nothing solid to got off.

The intercom beeped before it reverberated the voice that bounded out a higher volume than Joan had expected. "Joan, it seems there has been a slight delay. Looks like they have come to a bump in the road so to speak...it has started ahead of schedule."

Joan stared at the intercom as if he had started speaking a different language halfway through. "What do you mean it has started? We are supposed to have a month Grant! A month!" Sweat dribbled down the side of her slender face as she thought of all the awful things that could have happened. "Grant they aren't ready! There are kids in that team!"

Grant taken aback by Joan's forward compassion paused before he spoke, "Joan, I know we will get them here as soon as we can. Until we can get the base there our hands our tied. We have men and women down there with them trying to contain the situation before it gets out of hand and spreads." He beeped the mike off and walked down to the entrance of the training room. He walked toward her now erect body that stood there, a statue among the metal machines and weights. "Joan I--"

SMACK! "Don't you...don't you ever--" she let the pink on his face settle as she grimaced at him, finger pointed at his head like a wand. The other clenched into a fist at her side. "Grant...get me there...I don't care if it means tech, or a meta human ports me. Just get me the flying $#$^ there." She stormed out the room, leaving Grant to figure out what had just happened and to get his #$*& together.

November 10th 11:01AM

FBI Skybase Above Champion City

The two women looked across the room at each other without recognizing the other's existence. Exasperated Agent Grant took his glasses off and rubbed his forehead. He furrowed his brow and tried to cut the tension in the room with a knife made of gentle words and conversation. "Ladies listen, you have both been called in because you are two of the best at what you do." He gestured to the brunette emerald cloak dressed Lady Loveless, "you have been on countless teams and have helped save the world countless times." He nodded and then shifted his body to the other side of the room. "Joan, dammit your one of the best at espionage and combat training. Without you half this agency wouldn't be nearly as qualified to go on the missions they go on. Now why hate each other? Lets just get passed our issues and do a job."

The two women looked at each other as the already grim room seemed to only get grimmer. The meeting took place in a futuristic room, with white panels on the walls that glowed, a white cold metal was all that stood before them. The the panels on the wall ensured that no powers could be used in the room and would catch every little twitch or spike in body temperature The perfect room for interrogations, which is exactly what Loveless felt like this was. Why should she have to work with a criminal? Why should she be dragged back into this mess when nearly every team she had been on had either tragically fallen apart or just drifted apart? She ruffled in her seat before she made her claim. "That woman is a monster and a criminal! I will not be put in the hands that woman only to be talked to by her keeper!" She pointed accusatory at both Joan and Grant. "You kill in cold bold without any sign of remorse or compassion. I am sorry Grant but when you called me here I didn't think it would be like this..." She stood up to start to walk out.

Joan fidgeted in her chair as she watched Loveless stand up...she thought, 'pathetic...letting your emotions get the best of you, what a reckless leader. What a foolish girl'. Joan shook her head in dismay as she was quickly brought back to reality by file that smacked the table.

"Both of you take a look at this before either of you decide you want to walk out." Loveless paused and turned back to see what had just been produced onto the table. She picked it up and was shocked to be reading all the data that had been accumulated for the past 20 years.

Joan grabbed another piece of the paperwork and started to comb through it, "Grant what is this horse &%^? And if it is true, which I am not saying it is...what are we supposed to do? A overrated powerpuff girl wanna be and me a brawler?" She smirked at Loveless after she had compared her to early decade cartoon heroines and awaited his response.

"Joan, Loveless the threat is very real and unless we can stop it from happening it will cause a major shift within the Earth. Think worse case scenario, and then triple that. Volcano chain reactions, earthquakes, coastal regions and cities flooding. Everything gone wiped out. We can't let this happen. For all of our sakes we need you both on board, we need this new team of X-Viners to be all of our saviors."

Loveless took the file back to her original seat and let the weight of it all settle, she then resumed the stare war her and Joan had been having moments ago. This time though they were communicating, not verbally or telepathically, just through their eyes. Reading each other to see if the other could handle losing it all if they should fail. Loveless stood up, "six days...six days is all I will need to assemble a team. Let me use your database and I have an old friend I can ask to help recruit members." She turned to Joan, "will you have a training regiment in place by then?" Joan stood next to the file that lay on the table, glanced down at it and solemnly nodded. "Excellent, then you've got a deal Grant. You can count on the X-Viners!" They all shook hands and wished the others luck in their endeavors to prepare for the days to come.

Unknown Location, Time: 5:02AM

"You know what you must do correct?" Loveless motioned her head back and the weight of gravity pulled it forward for her. She battered and bruised, lifeless bodies all around her. "You royally messed up...didn't you Loveless. Called upon a team of worthless wimps. Hanging on your every word and bit of praise. Some goose chase Loveless...some chase huh?" Loveless spit a few things of blood out as she scoffed at the accusers claims.

The dark figure circled her as if a shark waiting to snatch up it's prey. "You want to know who the mole was don't ya?" The man paused as he awaited the next move, she didn't respond. Only with a grunt of pain, "I will take that as a yes...well you see it was easy. From the get go they were compromised...your mission was to fail from the start. The world needed heroes, and we needed scapegoats." The man chuckled as he thought back to what had transpired. "Loveless we could have stopped this a long time ago, but the government decided that maybe the heroes should take the fall. Maybe they are becoming too powerful once again, why are there so many meta humans just gallivanting around. We had to rein ya in." The main allowed his cruel contorted face to grace the light of the lone lamp that had been illuminating Loveless' poor disposition.

"Now then...if your team takes the fall...then the world won't be in as much disdain, refuse and we dispose of you whole team and allow the majority of the world to flooded in destruction and chaos. Your move Loveless...your move." She popped in and out of the conversation as she tried to not black out from the wounds and bruises that had been inflicted on her for the past three days. The team was too far away for her to reach them telepathically, and her tech had been blocked since had gotten to the old run down warehouse. 'What would she do? What could she do?' She wandered as she looked for an escape, escape from this wicked man, and from this horrible situation her team was smack dab in the middle of.

November 17th

Lady Loveless had spent the day with her old companion Slicer and had just broken the news to him as to for there long over due meeting. "Slicer, this is TDK...he has uh...well look!" She gestured with her free hand to the man and his get up. He looked similar to Slicer, and that was battle ready. He already bared a mask and a long trench coat, which Loveless could tell hid many different gadgets and weaponry underneath.

The man approached them and greeted them before getting to his point, "what does the government have on me?" She looked at the newcomer and handed him his file. She watched as the man just sat there starring at her with such an intensity, without moving his head or torso he neatly grabbed the file from her hand. "Thank you." She nodded and carried on with looking into the files, chatting here and there with Slicer and their new team mate.

Tellumo had been quietly reading over his file for the past twenty minutes, when he almost fell out his chair in excitement. "Bam!!! Look at that!! Look!!!" He was pointing at an intelligence index of the team and his name was at the top, far outshining anyone else.

The three looked at his finding and went back to their own files without a second glance. Tellumo gloated at his accomplishment for a few more minutes and then realized they were only a team of four or five right now. It didn't seem as special to him then, so he slouched back down into his chair and kept on reading.

November 18th-Skybase

Loveless was going over a few additional pieces of paper work when the secretary popped her head. "Umm miss Loveless, your 8:30AM is here." Loveless allowed herself to take her out of that world of paperwork and scheduling.

"Send her in please..." The woman left the room and came back with a jubilant young woman. "You are..." she shuffled through post-its and calendar, "my 8:30...which is MAYA!" She grinned at the post-it and for a second forgot she had company. "Oh sorry, the past couple days has been frazzled to say the least. I am Lady Loveless as you may have heard. And my, my miss Maya you scored extremely high in our combat training team readiness. Thoughts questions about joining the newly revamped X-Viners?"

"Well Uh you see..." The girl started to formulate her response and push down her nerves when a blue light near the door started to flash.

"CODE BLUE! CODE BLUE!" Loveless looked at the light, then the girl, then her watch.

'Not even 9 and I get a code blue.' "Alright time to put your skills to the test, code blue means there has been an issue on the---" Loveless is cut short by the side of her office wall being ripped off. The Skybase wall absent revealed the world of clouds and dots that were cars far below. A large multi-eyed creature peered in at the two women.

The blue light continued to flash as explosions could be heard from all over the base. "What the--" The monstrous creature grabbed Loveless and took to the out portion of the brig, where it had been joined by countless other creatures with similar features. Six feet wide, eight feet high with thirty tentacles at least and a hundred or more eyes. Maya flew up to take in the damages and her jaw dropped as she saw the carnage of the damage that had been done.

Slicer looked the coated man up and down. With a smirk, he pulled out a pair of cigars from a pocket, and held one out towards the man. When he simply snatched the file, Damien shrugged and returned one to his pocket, producing a box of matches and lighting his cigar a moment later. When Tellumo, one of the team members, leaped up, shouting, Slicer neatly flicked to the intelligence index. With a smile, he turned to Tellumo, a thought forming. "Sometimes, kid, smarts ain't no comparison to skills." He said, holding a closed fist in front of his face, popping his claws with a thought. "An' a set of foot-long razors can be jus' as much use, if ya get my meaning." He remarked, puffing a cloud of smoke out of the corner of his mouth philosophically. Personally, he didn't feel he'd still be that low on the index if they knew about his intelligence gained during his time with the old X-Viners. "Some a' this stuff's out a' date." He said simply, laying his file down.

Damien brushed the doctor out of the way. "Move it, egghead. This is gonna take some muscle." He wrapped his hand around the wrench, braced his other hand against the machine and pulled. The wrench slid an inch, then another, until the bolt was sufficiently tight. He released the tool, sniffed and froze. He took an offered rag and began wiping his hands, then heard the sound of straining metal. Without even thinking, he sprinted towards the sound. Please don't be where I think it is...Oh damn! A scream reached his ears just after the sound of metal being torn like paper, and he kicked open Lady Loveless' office door. He noticed the gaping hole in the wall first, the girl second. "Scuse me, jus' passin' through." He remarked, running at the gap, where the monster carrying Loveless was just flying out of sight. He pounced from the opening, using all the strength he possessed. He leaped further and faster than most people would have believed possible, popping his claws just as he took off. It seemed as though he were going to reach it, but he suddenly began to lose momentum, falling, picking up speed faster than a normal person would, due to his heavier, metal-coated skeleton.

Luckily, all was not lost. A similar monster was slightly below him, and he landed on its head, feeling its rough, pebbled texture, slashing it with his claws. "If...it...bleeds..." Slicer yelled, his words ripped away by the wind. "It...can...DIE!" He roared, running at its eyes, plunging a claw into one, then another, then another... Eventually the monster wrapped a tentacle around him and threw him up into the air for an incredible distance. He struck the underside of another monster, stabbing his claws in, eliciting a rather satisfactory screech of pain from the beast. "LOVELESS!" He yelled, beginning to move, hand over hand. "I'M A-COMIN'! JUST HANG ON!" He highly doubted Lorna could hear him.

November 17th 2012

Champion City

The files were in his hands.After almost a year and a half he could see what does the government have.But before opening the files he replied nicely 'Thank you!'.He knew that all of guys at the table were looking at him,he didn't talk to them anymore.He didn't need that,he had the files.He opened them....Nothing.That's what he wanted to see,they knew that he was a billionare and was living a playboy,gambler life and had nothing potential.But then how did Lady Loveless call him to come since she didn't knew what he was and who he was.He closed the files,pushed them back to her and sat back.He looked at her and said patiently 'How do you know who I really am?'

November 18th

Skybase

He was standing still right next to a tree,observing.He waited to see what is going to happen with Maya.She looked like a nice girl but she was too kind for this kind of a job.But suddenly out of nowhere this monster came.He was ready for action,it looked like his kind of job.That monster got both Maya and Loveless.He knew that he should save them.The monster was fast but so was he.But that wasn't his kind of speed it was too much but he had a rifle.He put it out started shooting but that monster didn't feel pain,it wasn't any kind of god made thing.But out of nowhere Slicer also appeared.King started running towards him,he yelled 'Wait!'.A monster caught Slicer and when he was ready to stop that thing something attacked him also.It was big and had scales.This thing was their first threat.

Everything was just a fuzzy picture all around him.There was so much he didn't understand.For starters his own name.Lady Loveless bumped into the wondering man while on her way to a training session."OOPS!" she knocked all her papers down and spilt her coffee all over herself."Well darn!What a way to start the morning."He looked down on her and almost at a loss for words started to gather her papers."I go by Loveless around here,or you can call me by my first name,Lorna."She stared intently at the scattered pile to make sure she didn't miss an important document." Whats your name?"she gleefuly looked into the mans eyes.He paused and stumbled back a bit. 
 
His eyes watered as he tilted his head towards the ground.The shadow of his brow hid his fear and anguish,"I-I'm not sure... I'm not sure mam."He looked back up into her eyes for some type of answer or for the typical reaction of awkwardness and a quick retreat. 
 
She picked her stack up and put her hand on his shoulder."Well that's okay friend,we can figure out why or how you got on this base...and your identity."She smiled at him as she ushered him down the hall.Normally this would be a level 4 breach of security but she had read his emotional and scanned his mind to find he had no ill intent.The saddest part was that he really didn't know who he was.But Loveless was bound and determined to help him find out.

The 2 went down many halls for a minute or two until they stopped at a door.A small plastic sign on the left side of the door read "Dr.Rin"."Who's Dr.Rin?"asked the amnesiac."He's the chief psychologist in the department."said Loveless.

@Lady Loveless:

November 18th

Skybase

Maya was grabbed by one of the creatures, but keeping her calm she decided to pull out the big guns...her skin ripped apart and was replaced by fur as she began to transform into a Lycan with in just a split second what was once a young girl was replaced by a large and powerful werewolf.

with brute strength she broke free from the tentacles grip and landed on the ground, her razor sharp nails turned the tentacles that attempted to grab her again into mince meat...and moving at speeds that would appear to human eyes as teleportation she leaped onto the creature that held Loveless and knocked the monster onto the ground she dug her muzzle deep inside its chest and like a horror scene began ripping flesh out not with just her mouth but also claws mutilating the body and tentacles that were near.

Skybase

Machina was plugged into the Skybase's main computer. His eyelids were closed, but his eyes flicked back and forth as though he were in REM sleep. Two technicians stood a little way away from him, watching the automaton work. "He's been like that for two hours." One said, looking concerned at Machina. The dark-haired automaton sighed, and didn't move.

"Revelation: Although this unit is linking with the central processing unit of the Skybase, its aural receivers are still working in optimum condition." Machina remarked, causing both technicians to jump. A moment later, his consciousness seemed to shift, to jump forth from his form and merge with the terminal in front of him.

The Techno-Plane

Machina's 'avatar' - that is, his construct for navigating this state of being, was fairly similar to his material appearance, although it was made from lines of code, and from hard light. Before him, a large "face", for want of a better word, stared at him. "Machina, you know what I am?"

"Admission: this unit recognises the subject as the central computer network of Skybase." Machina replied. "Request: this unit would like to merge central processing networks with the Skybase, thus making this unit and Skybase capable of functioning on a counterpart level." He finished, cool, mechanical, efficient. The Skybase paused for a moment, running this scenario through its rather formidable processor that left Machina more than a little intimidated.

"Skybase is willing." She - it - replied, and the two stared at each other, transferring memory, basic knowledge, memories, and other information through the mental connection they shared. Slowly, the process started, then faster and faster, until both froze, then screamed in pure agony, their yells in unison and harmony.

Skybase

The intense feedback caused Machina to sever his connection to the Skybase, and left him in intense agony, but he jumped up, and summoned his suit. It came to him, as it always did, covering his body with the golden undersuit, then red armour to aid durability. His power up sequence took a few seconds more than it normally did, possibly due to the phantom pains he still felt from the assault, the pure, unrelenting horror of having a part of yourself torn away. As it powered up, he began to run, quickly surmising that the hangar was closer than Lady Loveless' office, where the damage had occurred. "Message: Skybase, this is Machina. Requesting opening of Hangar Bay 19-J." He took off as he entered the hangar, flying straight at the doors, them opening a fraction of a second before he exited the ship, closing instantly afterwards. He looked around. The sky seemed to be filled with monsters. "Skybase, begin tracking target: Machina, X-Viners 00/4." He said, and heard the readjusting of the nearest dozen cannons. "Hold for my mark, and..." He cruised past a creature's body, curving around its gargantuan bulk. "Mark." He said as he passed the midpoint, hearing the explosion of a dozen Skybase cannons firing on the creature. "X-Viners, this is Machina, online. Requesting permission to pick my own targets."

November 17th, 2012, Earth Time, Tir na Nog, home of the Celtic Gods

Rose and John sat at the foot of a tree in the idyllic green landscape of the main home of the Celtic Gods, the Tuatha de Dannan. Whereas the Asgardians dwelt in a great and fantastical city in a wintery landscape, and the Olympians on a city atop a colossal mountain in another mountain, the Tuatha's dwelling was decidedly more rustic. A large city built to ancient Gaulish standards, albeit of a much grander scale than the subjects of the Asterix comics could have built. Nature was intertwined with the city in the form of trees, grass fields, rivers, hills, and mountains that were dotted through Tir na Nog just as the buildings were. John and Rose had just recently emerged from the debacle at the Roman version of Olympus, and the two had decided to relax after having formed an actual relationship.

"I must say, your mother's side of the family is quite impressive." Rose stated as she snuggled up towards John, who wrapped an arm around her as the grass swayed in the wind, butterflies flitting on by while the branches rustled together. "Yeah, I really got to know them after that mess in Ireland...I'm glad that mom lets me in." He responded, filled with content as a Boobrie, a massive plane sized water bird native to Tir Na Nog, passed on overhead, beating it's wings, well over a hundred feet in length while the enormous white marked duck like creature passed on overhead.

Some seelie faeries nodded at the pair as they passed by, carrying out jobs, messages, and favors for the Gods whom they worked for, and Rose regarded them with the utmost curiosity, while John just waved back. "I can't seem to decide which part of you is the more incredible one. The monotheistic side that comes from the Symaarian Navigator and Yahweh, or the polytheistic one that lays claim to the Tuatha de Dannan as it's ancestors." Rose stated, turning to face John and looking at him with her stunning orchid eyes. "Well...I only really got to know this half of the family like, really recently! So this is all kind of new to me!" John responded, sporting a wide smile as he gave her his happiest grin, prompting Rose to giggle and kiss him on the cheek.

In response, John's face flushed a deep red, much to the amusement of many faeries and gnomes who were witnissing, which only made John feel even more embarassed. "Rose..." John protested weakly, to which Rose just smiled, and John forgot what exactly he was protesting about. But this moment was interrupted by the mightiest of the Gaelic thunder gods, Taranis appeared before them. Armoured in a gold embroidered scale tunic made of Mithril, the Tuatha equivalent of the Asgardian Uru and the Olympian Adamantine, with brassy greaves and arm guards, boots and gloves made from the fur of some great beast studded with mithril, eyes whose intense blue irises almost glowed like lightning, a belt made from the hide of an evil white dragon, a great horn attached to his belt, curved pauldrons shaped like the heads of rams, sprouting a great blue-white beard that crackled with electricity, with a gilded helmet from which curling ram's horns sprouted, and wielding his enchanted Mithril Axe Adharcorc or "Sky cleaver".

"Oh...uhh hey Taranis." John quickly spat out to Taranis' amusement. "I find it amusing that the boy who saved us all during Nexatos' invasion of our lands has only now conquered love." Taranis scoffed heartily, prompting John to become embarassed enough to try and hide his face behind his hoodie while Rose's cheeks became slightly red. "And to what do we owe the presence of the thunderer to?" Rose asked, trying to change the subject. Partly as a joke, Taranis looked both ways "Thor? Where?" He asked before breaking out into laughter, poking a bit of fun at the long rivalry between himself and Thor. Taranis Ambisagrus and Thor Odinson had once been bitter enemies when their worshippers battled each other tooth and nail, but now it had largely cooled down to a game of one upsmanship. One day Thor would destroy an entire fleet of hostile aliens trying to take over the world, the next Taranis would respond by single handedly putting down a horde of Tanar'ri from the Abyss.

"Ah yes, it seems that people have begun to take notice of you in the mortal world. Someone has had a letter sent to you, and while I would usually have a faerie deliver these kinds of messages, this appears to be important enough to be graced with my presence." Taranis said as he handed out two neatly packaged envelopes from his bag of holding. Rose poked John in the shoulder to get him to emerge from his hoodie, and the two broke open the seals on their envelopes with single motions. "Oh wow...we've been invited to a team..." John muttered before Taranis broke out into laughter. "Ah! One of our champions has been selected for a mighty army! This is worth celebrating!" Taranis thundered joyfully before he grabbed and then blew on his magical horn, signalling the Tuatha to come out while the faeries, gnomes, good dragons, selkies, leprechauns, changelings, spirits of worthy followers of the Tuatha, sprites, and wisps followed to join in on the call for celebration.

Before John and Rose could say anything, faeries carried the two up, bringing them to a site where the festivities were already being prepared with godly magic. "Whoa what's the reason for all this!?!" John exclaimed as he and Rose were brought forth to crude looking wooden seats draped with the furs of great ogres in the middle of a feasting hall. To his surprise, the person who came forth to answer that was Rhiannon, his mother and a goddess of the winds, born to a union between the Dagda and Imasura. She was dressed in a plaid blue-green robe, brought close to her midsection by a sash with a mithril girdle, a simple mithril mail shirt covering her torso, while flowers dotted her night black hair, woad blue painting surrounded her left, deep blue eye in a sun like pattern, and an ogre mage fur cloak hung to her left. "Because John, ever since Thor and Hercules joined the Avengers, the Tuatha have harbored a desire to see one of their own honored by being made part of one of the teams of champions so common of Earth." Rhiannon said with an easy smile before giving Rose an approving nod.

"I must say, I have been looking forward to meeting with the girl you have chosen as your lover, she is everything I hoped for in your future wife and more." Rhiannon grinned, prompting a mass of Gods and mythological creatures to raise their goblets and food and cheer wildly, prompting John and Rose to blush redder than a beat. "Moooommm!" John whined ineffectually before Rhiannon ruffled his hair. "Be easy on the boy my daughter, he needs to keep his confidence up for the festivities!" The great, red bearded Dagda laughed, his kingly plated mithril scale armor, plaided vestments, golden and bull horn'd crown, and great red cloak, formed from the hide of a Demon Prince Dagda Eochaid had personally slain when the Tuatha, in a divine woad induced and heavily drunken fit of revelry, decided to invade the infinite layers of the abyss and completely obliterated no less than six entire layers, laid waste to dozens more, and slew many a demon lord and prince while crippling the Tanar'ri's efforts in the Blood War with the Devils of Baator for a century before turning around and then slaughtering the entire Baatezu attack force in the Abyss to devastate the Nine realms of Baator's assault, effectively ruining both sides of the blood war for years to come and leaving other pantheons in stark terror of the Tuatha's sheer drunken lunacy.

"This is a great day for the Tuatha! To John Edenson! To my Grandson! To Rose Lalatia! To the lost world of Novia! Hahahaha!" Dagda laughed as he threw forth a goblet of divine ale and then guzzling it down. "Aye!" The Tuatha and mythical servants agreed as they raised their goblets to join in the cheer. Heck, even John and Rose decided to join in on the mass cheering, and joined in the mass drinking. The rest of the night passed by like a blur with dancing, music, ancient Celtic party games, increasingly drunken chit chat, and sooner than later, many of the Tuatha began to get so absolutely drunk off their divine alcohol that, in combination with the godly woad they used to get themselves in a drug induced warrior high, many of them charged out, opening a portal to a Warp Rift to attack a massive host of Chaos Daemons and their worshippers in another galaxy while snubbing the lords of Chaos. The number of explosions that poured through the portal and the screaming of terrified Daemons spoke of just why the universe at large considered the drunken aftermath of a Tuatha party to be one of the most catastrophic events imaginable.

Even the godly immune systems of John and Rose couldn't completely block out the divine brandy they drunk, and soon enough, the two passed out on the floor after having a dozen drinks too many.

November 18th, Tir na Nog

When the two woke up, they found Rhiannon waiting for them with a smile on her face. "Well, I see you've enjoyed yourself." She stated in an easy voice, having brought the two to a proper bed not long after they passed out. "Oh god...did we do any-" John asked before Rhiannon cut him off by shaking her head. "No, your clothing remained firmly on, but you were spouting off quotes from...Con Air was it?" Rhiannon responded, causing John to blush furiously while Rose got back slowly, rubbing her eyes. "Your armorsuits are ready and waiting, as is a portal to where you need to go. As for Father, he and the others purged a thousand light year wide warp rift of chaos daemon activity in a galaxy about a billion light years away from your own." Rhiannon stated, stepping aside to show John's teuton armor and Viktor. "Thank you, but we have teleportation systems that immediately bring them to us." Rose responded with an easy smile. "Ah, then allow me to reinforce them, few things are more inconvenient than dimensional anchors." She offered as she worked just a bit of her godly power to strengthen the two's ability to teleport their equipment towards them.

John clutched his hammer, which in the midst of the war on Roman Olympus, had been merged with the Lance of Longinus and the Sword of Constantine to form Scmallmharu, Cloud Killer. A weapon that was vastly more powerful than the lionhearted before it, while Rose's own quills had been enhanced by hecate to make the Bijthon Cth, the Thorns of Destiny. The two got up and stepped into the shimmering portal, with John giving his mom a kiss on the cheek and an utterance of thanks before walking out into Champions city, where a portal tore itself open in front of lady loveless, the two thirteen year olds clutching their envelopes. "I believe you summoned us, correct?" Rose stated as the portal to Tir Na Nog closed behind them gently.

Skybase, November 18th

"I'm gonna build such a big raft & we're gonna sing around a campfire & I have my guitar so we can be acoustic douches!"

Tellumo gleefully spouted while skipping through the cold, grey interior of the Skybase. Finally a passerby asked him the meaning of his abrupt lunacy regarding his outbursts of enthusiasm.

"It's a team building day right? They take us out camping & stuff."

The unlucky fellow who asked him the question immediately turned into a state of mild shock, this was due to the stupidity/lack of common sense he had just discovered.

"I am 99% sure that there's no team building day & that you're here for extreme training to build cohesion."

Alphonse ponders.

"But both options are the same. I'll go for the 1% though."

Almost as if some sort of cosmic cue was undertaken the location became thick with fear as the surrounding workers rushed past the duo, who then became a singular due to one member joining a bigger group, this hurt Tellumo's feelings. With brisk walking speed the teen reached an area near a key point of the creature's physiology, watching the new team spring into action & being clasped by the grotesque tentacles of the beast, during his brief trip Tellumo had been cooking up the perfect joke for this moment. He proudly pointed to the monster & shouted.

"I've seen enough h***** to know where this is hgrhk--"

Unfortunately this being didn't care much for comedy as it impulsively struck the heroes' torso into a wall. All he could think to himself while catching his breath was, 'Did anyone catch that? I can't say it again can I?'

the amnesiac was horrified to see the wall of the phycologists office he was sitting in get torn off by a grotesque beast that looked like a combonation of a spider,octopus,and a bear.The amnesiac heard a blaring alarm and saw a flashing blue light all around skybase.All of this happening at once freaked him out enough to make him forget all common logic.His mind was over run by adrenaline.He couldn't make sense of what was happening.The phycologist was just eaten by the monster,the wall that was torn down just crushed a parked truck,and the wort part was that he was frozen with fear in front of a monster.The only form of self defense he could think of right now was sticking his hands in front of his face.He wanted to attack the creature and be safe,but he didn't know how to fight.That's when he shot the beast.It was loud and bright and left his hands smoking.He was even more horrified,but also releived.He was horrified because his hands just projected some kind of energy.He was releived because the monster was now falling to the ground while writhing in agony.Even though he just discovered a secret weapon within himself,he knew he still needed help.

@Tellumo: The amnesiac ran out the door of the office as fast as he could.He ran down countless halls and into one where he saw a teen get thrown into a wall by one of the creatures.He ran towards the stranger as fast as he could yelling "HELP!"

Skybase Nov 18

John and Rose had been brought up to the Skybase relatively quickly. John looked around, a bit unused to airships of a non-steampunk nature, while Rose was used to an altogether more high tech sort of ship. "All this non-steampunk stuff sure is weird..." John muttered as he continued to have a look around. "Well, most of the universe doesn't have access to the level of material science that the Talon and later the Astartes had. You can only get so much out of your steam technology because you have metals that can withstand the immense pressures needed to produce enough force." Rose pointed out, briefly touching a finger to her lip and prompting John to laugh a bit as the two thirteen year olds were given odd looks by the adult crew.

"Why are they staring at us?" John asked, a tad unused to normal human society where the thought of barely pubescent children engaging in this kind of combat was abhorrent, rather than the rather more eglitarian Astartes which had a "it doesn't matter what you are, as long as you can pull your own weight in whatever you're doing" policy towards those employed in it. "From what I gather, most of the rest of the Earth frowns rather strongly on the idea of child warriors." Rose shrugged as the two stepped from the hangers and into the halls. "Huh...that's kinda weird." John responded, tugging on the mail sleeves of his hospitaller armor a bit while Rose, in a hooded version of her emergency suit, simply strutted forward.

Viktor however, chose to remain in the hanger, the seven foot tall gleaming mech suit believing that Rose could handle herself, though it was ready to teleport to her if he was needed. John's Teuton armor, recently upgraded with Sapience and the ability to move on it's own and adopting the name of Kanden, similarly remained at a distance. Viktor gave a nod at a passing FBI agent who, feeling uncomfortable, quickly ran past Viktor, trying not to remain in it's piercing Cyan optics longer than it had to. Kanden's yellow optics kept a similar vigil, while it's clockwork mind started to read over some incoming data. "Dimensional disturbance in progress." Both it and Viktor said in unison.

All around the skybase, lovecraftian monstrosities began to wriggle out of whatever non-euclidean pit they came from. And then they started to appear inside of the ship itself, playing with the fabric of space as if it were silly putty. Unfortunately for the monsters, the first to manifest on the bridge came within arm's reach of Viktor. The snarling octopus headed beast with a thousand eyes and a dozen writhing tendrils didn't even manage to shriek out it's battle cry before Viktor threw forth an infinite mass light speed punch at it's head, using his forcefields to contain the backblast of the punch to just the area of his fist. Slamming his fist into the being with enough force to destroy worlds, the skybase briefly shook as the beast splattered into ichorous gore.

Kanden extended it's wolverine style ambriaric divine steel claws and quickly carved apart a fish man like beast, followed by dozens more as Viktor activated his superspeed and quickly brought the personnel out of the Hangar before extending it's plasma flamethrowers just as Kanden swept across the area with it's optic mounted solar cannons, frying more of the beasts with the fury of the sun, yellow rays of death stabbing out of it's optics. Viktor's side of hip mounted flamethrowers then roared to life, bathing the creatures with radioactive, corrossive, highly electrified, and obscenely hot quark-gluon plasma that broke down even these beasts' matter into nothing more than a writing soup of elemental particles so hot that atoms could not exist within it. Before the sea of plasma could cause any harm, Kanden beat it's wings to send the cloud of lethal matter out into the open, roasting an enormous flying armoured worm creature as long as an aircraft carrier who literally disintegrated into a mass of quarks and electrons as the cloud washed over it.

John and Rose however, were notified of the problem just as the code blue alarm went off, and as a snarling Batwinged and snake faced monster crawled it's way out of the shadows. The seven foot creature seemed to be furious that the halls were not wide enough for it to spread it's wings, it's compound eyes flickering red with rage as it opened up it's sarlaac mouthed head and let loose an ululating roar. A roar that was cut short when Scmallmharu was thrown straight into it's mouth and smashed it's way out the back of it's skull, spraying it's gory remains everywhere as the explosive power of the hammer splattered it in all directions before continuing on to smash it's way through dozens more monsters, seeking them out with extreme prejudice. "Any reason for the delay in throwing your hammer?" Rose asked as Smallmharu returned to John's hand. "Oh, I had to use my paladin abilities to check if it registered as evil or not." He responded with a shrug.

"A detect evil spell?" She asked, quirking an eyebrow. "Yep! Always active! And these monsters are registering like...way the hell evil." John beamed as he casually backhanded a roaring deep one without even turning to face it, the six foot tall hulking fish man being sent barreling through the halls and flying right the heck out of the skybase, going on for several kilometers, it's face mashed into nothing more than a messy pulp by the power of John's fist. "Oh, you are such a show off." Rose said with a Grin before flicking one of her Thorns of Destiny at a roiling amorphous mass of flesh, eyes, and mouths, an amorphous mass that soon turned into nothing more than pleasantly cooled grape flavoured Jell-o.

Another beast, resembling a crocodile whose head was laid on it's side, eyes on either end of it's horizontally aligned head, arms splitting off into tentacles, galloping forth on three legs, along with a hundred others of it's kind, barelled down the Hallway after bashing the FBI agents to it's side. "Oh, would you allow me to handle this?" Rose asked, smirking as John nodded at her. Forming a geometric pattern at the speed of light with her thorns she cast forth a transmutation spell that immediately turned the monsters into a gaggle of flopping trout that feebly writhed on the metallic floor, gasping for water that simply was not there. "Whoa...nice trick!" John stated, thoroughly impressed.

The two moved onwards, a faceless Nightgaunt that tried to present itself to stop their advance getting kicked in the chest by Rose with enough force to send the contents of it's torso flying out of it's back before the Girl casually ripped it's head off with a violent telekinetic thrust, sending the head bowling into what could best be described as a massive tripedal mushroom with a snarling pit of a mouth and dozens of tentacles, at such speeds that the Nightgaunt's head ignited from the air resistance. The fungoid beast obviously, was obliterated in a blazing explosion that spread it's ashes all over the hall. John ducked under the swing of a four armed hulking nine foot titan of a beast whose head was nothing more than a mass of tentacles, and it's lower body being an insane thicket of spidery limbs.

John grabbed the creature's nearest available arm and with a single tug, yanked it clean off before sending a massive amount of wind rushing into the new wound to tear the creature's insides apart through wind shear. The creature's organs were pureed before a human could even blink, not even giving the thing enough time to shriek out in pain as it flopped over, the slurry of it's now shredded organs leaking out of it's orfices while John stepped forward and slammed his hammer into a three headed centipede with tentacles for arms the size of a bus, Scmallmharu shrieking through the air at lightspeed before slamming into the thing's centermost head, impacting with enough force to completely vaporize it's head, while the hammer's forcefields then shaped the explosive outburst of energy to wrap around the impacted target, completely incinerating the entirety of the creature.

As Rose went forward and stabbed her Thorns into the eyes of a eel headed monstrosity with a scaley man's torso and the lower body of an insectoid horse, yanking herself up onto it's neck and then twitching her thorns around in the thing's brain to send it charging into it's own allies, bowling through them and scattering them about before yanking her Thorns back and literally tearing apart the thing's skull in a shower of bone chips, brain matter, skin, and two loose eyeballs, John turned to see one of the creatures, a humanoid but grotesquely tentacled beast, attacking one of his teammates, whom he'd sooner learn went by the name of Tellumo.

John held his hammer in both hands and braced himself. "Excuse me, delivery for Mr.tentacle monster!" He shouted, prompting the creature to turn one of it's heads towards John, who had already zipped towards it and leapt upwards before swinging Scmallmharu in a wide arc to knock off each and every one of it's heads, letting the thing slump to the ground while blood founted out of it's necks, and it's now removed heads were sent into the wall to smash like watermelons being fired out of a cannon into a brick wall. "You can thank me later." John said as he let loose a single blue knot, a self contained blue tendril of wind, lightning, light, and heat being churned so fast that it turned into quark-gluon plasma, capable of devastating most anything it touched, from his outstretched left hand and had it snake across a hallway to fry a charging mass of nightgaunts, leaving nothing, not even ash, to testify to their former presence.
