Veiled Malice

Maybe it was the fact that someone who bore a startling resemblance to Elvis was flying at them, but the two kids from Next Gen were unprepared to deal with the newly reminted superhero, however diminished his strength. Winds the equal of a Force 2 hurricane slammed into both of them before they could act. Though Megastar would have normally been in a better position to resist the massive gust, he failed to get out the way in time, and was bowled out of the air, slamming into the ground below. Sonic, on the other hand, fared slightly better. Initially, he was able to dodge the winds, but the air current that did catch him were still able to swat him from the sky. Tumbling head over heels after his bigger companion, Captain Wonder heard the boy spout off a stream of expletives that would make a sailor blush. Just another thing to council him against, he supposed. But the real target being the neo-Nazis, Captain Wonder laid into them with a vengeance. Black-suited hatemongers flew through the air like ten pins as his fists met with their faces. When he was done, the immediate area was clear of SHADOW troops, but it seemed there were always more to strike down. How people could willingly go along with a brutally insane ideology, Captain Wonder would never know. But neither did he care. Megastar and Sonic got to their feet quickly, glaring at the man that had smacked them out of the air. "What the hell's your problem?!" Megastar shouted, blasting towards the old time hero. "We're trying to help and you attack us?!" "Man, don't even waste time with that fo!" Sonic yelled at his companion. He stayed on the ground and started blasting away at the SHADOW troops again. Fortunately, the respite gained from knocking them out of the air had allowed most of the people of the park to get out of the line of fire. More Nazis went down under his blast, but there were still enough to fire back. Laser fire from the SHADOW lines reached out and tried to harm Captain Wonder, but his skin was too tough; the amplified light glanced off like rain against a window. The same appeared to be true of Megastar, but the kid was too pissed to care about the incoming fire. He was too fixated on Captain Wonder. "I am going to mess you up, man!" he shouted, cocking back a fist to strike him with.

The punch connected soundly, and the blur that was Velocity swept past. Denton crumbled to the ground like a puppet with it's strings cut without the support of his captor, but at least he was mostly out of danger now. Seeing he was outnumbered and outgunned didn't seem to dissuade the last MiB. He tried to aim his gun at the madly dodging Velocity, but was unsuccessful. The shot missed wide, with the super speedster dodging underneath it.

Daisuke looked between the two girls as they talked about dreams. Why was the witch girl dreaming about the mermaid girl anyway? What did the dreams mean? And where did she get those shells? They looked nice. He glanced over at the skeleton, who was trying to brush the grain off itself. "Do you know what she's talking about?" Though he started slightly at the yelling noise, it was the rumbling sound afterward that really concerned Daisuke. Now on his feet, he whirled around, trying to see where it was coming from.

You know, it's really rude when the females of the party are doing the objectifing. I mean, there are guys here. You could at least give us some consideration. :D

I think I've had that before. OJ is a necessity. Feel better soon! :)

Gotcha, thanks.

I just need a Strength check for your super-breath. It's a trip attack, so it's your strength plus a d20 roll.

Okay, game on! Captain Wonder is up, but wait a sec for me to get the initiative order up. Roll one for yourself while I'm at it. And it's Sonic up first with 19 Next is Megastar with 14 And last is the SHADOW troops with 13

Fred's frail, elderly form was gone in a flash of light and a crash of thunder, replaced by the power-packed figure he was used to. The glory and exultation of being once more imbued with the power of Shim-Ra was his. Bursting at the seams with potential, fairly brimming with it, Captain Wonder breathed free again. But there was something missing. Something Captain Wonder had remembered feeling before. "Your power is restored, as I promised," Atum-Ra said, a thin smile creasing his face. "But not all. Just as with all that lives, you must prove worthy of that which I have given you. The full measure of your strength will return in time, but know that you are no longer the world's most powerful mortal. But this is enough for now. You are still among the world's strongest, do not fear, but you must prove your bravery and valor. Anyone can stand against the horrors to come when they are assured of invincibility. I ask you to do so regardless." Atum-Ra stood again and pointed behind Captain Wonder. "Now go, Captain. Go and fight for justice once more!" And then Captain Wonder was back at Riverside. No time had passed between when Atum-Ra had summoned him and now. People were still desperate to get away from the SHADOW troops running about, and perhaps even worse, the two "heroes" blasting away into the crowd to hunt them down.
