The young boy ran as fast as he could for a nearby building, ducking into it's doorway, his tree umbrella was now ruined and full of holes however it had done it's job for now.
He glanced out from the door and noticed the people running away from what seemed to be the rain, he tilted his head to one side then looked at his feet.
"Their strange.. mummie.. it's only a little.. oh.. the floor is wet..very wet.. oh well." He muttered before looking back up, the thunder claps sounding out around him.
Suddenly a car skidded into his veiw, it was out of control, whoever was inside it was screaming out as it skidded and aquaplaned on the road surface. The boy nodded then ran out into the rain towards the car, throwing a hand fulls of seeds and muddy soil from his belt at the car.
"Stop the car friends." he yelled as suddenly the floor under the car where the seeds had landed bursted out into vines and grabbed the car, bringing it to a sudden stop.
"Rain and water.. we like.. help them grow." he smiled as the guy jumped out from the car and ran for a nearby building.
"Hey Kid! get inside!" He yelled keeping the door open, but the young boy instead ran off down the street, stopping a few more cars the same way he had saved the man. -
Huddled under a tree, hidding barely in the pile of leaves could be seen the form of a young boy, his hair as green as fresh grass, his clothes were dirty from the mud and soil that seem to leak out from his belt. He look out from pile as the branches of the tree seem to part a little, just enough for him to see the deep dark clouds above.
"Mummie.. that don't look nice.." He muttered as the tree seemed to once again form over him, as if protecting him from the rain.
As another clash of thunder sounded out, he quickly buried his head in his arm, shivering.
"Mummie.. tell them to go away.. please.. they scare me.."
suddenly a smaller tree grew out from the ground infront of him, it seemed to have a thin trunk and a much bigger spread of heavily leaved bunches, to the point of looking just like an umbrella.
"But.. Bu.." He studdered before looking out again, ".. Ok.. if your sure.."
With that he lepted up and grabbed the umbrella tree from the ground, before dashing out into the streets, each foot step he left behind him seem to have a tuff of grass growing out of it.
(( Well he's the only character I got left to add into one of these things, and he can be usefull if a scared cat at times. :P )) -

With the last Uber-Troll down for the count and the rest of the heroes leaving, VGx-3 morphed it's blasters back into it's robotic hands before stomping it's ways over to the golden and bronze armour suit, Battle-master. Each step now of VGX-3 felt like a three ton hulk marching along, leaving behind it in the roadway the cracked footsteps.
"VGX.. remind me to adapt your weight ratio once we get back.. your leaving a trail of footsteps in the road again." Andrews voice called out from the suit before lifting off the ground as the flight system came online.
VGX-3 nodded stiffly before unfolding it's flight mode wings and boosters, suddenly both soared skybound with only the roar from VGX-3's boosters marking their leave.
((nice plot so far Mech, next time it won't be just these two who will come answer the call, an old friend might have to make an appearance now))
-
VGX-3 scanners had found the Uber-troll had become this unstoppable force and had relayed in information onto Battle-Master, to which Unit informed Andrew of the Uber troll.
"VGX-3, move to take on that Troll while we provide support to the people behind the car." Andrew shouted out, give his commands to VGX-3.
With it VGX-3 moved in, noticing how the Uber-troll seem to just brush off the attacks from the other Heroes, it made up it's mind to attempt to unbalance the troll via blasting its legs with a targeted blast from it's energy blasters.
Quickly it morphed both it's blasters into halves and clamped them together before charging up the energy blast. ((power burst))
Battle-master however quickly hovered down and landed infront of the smashed up car giving a call out "Is he and you ok behind there!?"
((it's upto Mech if the blast effects the Uber-troll or not, and likewise any other blasts on it from VGX-3)) -
Battle-Master hovered slightly forwards as the overcharge built up to full power, suddenly it unleashed sending out the pulse way of electrical energy from suit outwards. The pulse hit two of the Uber-trolls who were near to the suit, sending them reeling in pain, afterall a massive electrical discharge had hit them, more than enough to wipe out a sub station if there was one that close to the suit.
VGX-3 shoots hit their mark and crippled the Uber-troll for a moment as it's healing powers kicked in and restored its arms back to as they were, as this happen the Uber-troll roared and marched towards VGX-3 clearly not happy at the fact it had blasted it. -
Andrew had 'heard' the message from Pious, however Unit on the other hand had already fully powered up the suits defense systems, and began to overcharge ((Short Circuit)) the suit to unleash a pulse of highly charged electrical energy a short way from them.
VGX-3 had already morphed it's robotic lower arms and hands into their blaster modes and primed up a target, the Uber-Troll lifting up the S.W.A.T. van. with the light blue glow ((Power bolt)) from the barrel of the blaster shooting out striaght at the Uber-troll, in a vain attempt to stop it.
"Unit, message from someone here.. mental message, their trying to get us heroes together behind the van, behind us." Andrew muttered as the overcharge caused sparks from gloves to start buzzing.
"Andrew, overcharge almost ready. Once it has been deployed we can go see." Unit's voice sounded in his ear, as the message was only for him and not for those around the suit. -
Hovering above the buildings, a little way down the street was two powersuit, one VGX-3 and the other was the golden and orange form of the newly awoken Battle-Master. Both hovered there watching the mass of Trolls moving towards the police line and the heroes.
"Unit VGX dash 3, please help the enforcement officers while we help the heroes." The voice of Unit, battle-masters A.I spoke before another voice cut in.
"Unit, and VGX come on.. it's been a while since I've had some action in this city." Andrew's voice called out, he was the person inside of Battle-master suit.
With that both flew down towards the police and hero line, VGX-3's A.I program working over time to attempt to give the suit the information and such so not to harm the Trolls too much. It's visor screen flashing up with the scroll of data.
Targets: Troll humanoids: action: arrest.
Course of Action: use of force blasts: power level: min untill: told otherwise.
Orders: assist Battle-Master: commander: All orders from: him.
Neither landed as the Trolls came at the line instead they waited for the right moment to join in. -
OR an Idea that came to me at work, what about into the sea, sink the damn thing.

Right, here is notes from the meeting last night. After going by the logs and pulling out the information given, the plans so far, those there and so forth.
(note: sorry for late start, this was RL getting in the way mainly my dinner and resulting washing up after it.)

(thats 14 people, possibly more but thats who I could pull names from the logs.)
Information given
The City of Paragon has at this moment been flooded with the robotic assasins known as Assasionbots. Better known as Bombbots as called by some here.
Each one has an A.I which has been programmed to kill or be killed.
Each one has a unstable power source.. a core which has the possible power output with when detonated has the power to level a three square block area.
They have it appeared been upgrade at late.. they now seem to be built to fight supers.
So far four Chemical devices which use their power sources have been found to date.
Thanks to Neko we have a device which can disable their self destruct device.
The neko Jammer.. can also disable their wireless network links.. which means they will react slower. It's been put into four sats.. and there are hand held versions also.
Reports of Drones helping these bots.
These appear to be somesort of new mechnical lifeforms.
They are no no known design, nor do they seem to made from any metal on earth.
They seem weak to weapon fire and powers.
The Bots so far have mostly been the basic ones, in the base will be the much harder eilte ones.
They appear to be of our level but advance tech.
They are free thinking and pure insanely evil. Also they are darker in colouring aswell as their enhanced speed strength, reaction times, and armour. This appears to be done so they can match any one hero.
The CPU unit in them mean they are not linked to the mainframe, they are their own mainframes.
They seem to not want to blow up, as such they seem to have a stable core.
From what Coms had found, and from what we know, they have been upgrade purely to fight supers.
Similar in sentientance to the drones they will want to continue their existence.
They can mimic humans better, think faster react faster and well chat normally. The standard bots can also however a massive electromatic wake can disolve the cloak they use, Elites not so much however can be done.
They can mimic anyone, at anytime, anywhere.
They have been giving some heroes a bad name by mimicing them and doing evil.
Mimic via their cloak device.
The names of missing people in Paragon city to date given. These are everyone so far that have been taken or gone missing in connection with the bots. Each one after a quick scan showed that they have been replaced by a bot.
Odd energy readings and temporal happenings.
These were found coming from a large hovering or flying fortress base above Paragon City, the path of it is in a spiral going from the outer most part of Paragon to the middle of Paragon. It's cloaked and seems to be out of aliement with us on a temporal band.
It appears Timothy Skippton, a mutant with time control powers who has been kidnapped by Assasion is being forced to bring the fortress out of temporal sink with the city by a few secounds.
He, Tim, appears to be connected into somesort of machine which has been linked to his powers somehow.
The bots seem to berebeling against Assasion and it seems to be the work of the Drones trying to take over leadership.
Once Assasion is out of the way, they appear to have a new plan: operation meta cocoon.
Which appears to be the complete hybridate them with organic parts. Seems to be they want brains, organs and the like, why is unclear at this time.
(thats the information given out, with a little added in which didn't seem to come up in my log for some reason.)
The plans so far
Their are quite a few ranging from Blowing the fortress up to dropping it off somewhere in space. There was mention of blowing the fortress of course via a powerful wind blast, as well as using the city's transporter network to move the bots to the destoryed part of the city to get rid of them away from people.
Now all the plans appear good but here is where you can put in much more detail about them, or even come up with another plan all together, all feedback welcomed. -
Due to unforseen events I am unable to run the meeting tonight, as such I will attempt to run it tomorrow (ie monday 22nd).
Sorry but events were out of my control. -
The messager from another side.
The Warehouse base
The lights flickered on in the room, itself bare mostly apart from the impervium bars going through the middle of the room, making a cage inside it was the Assasionbot known as XYY-002 one of Assasion's elite guard it's robotic body was much more advanced than the rest, like the elite guard are, the colouring was royal blue with deep red lines going through it for the lighted panels, the main bulk of its form was dark grey with the mark of Assasion on it's chest.
All it could do was to stand there in the middle of the cage, it's eyes fixed at the the wall oppersite it.
Slowly the door to the room slid open, there in the doorway was Sean, wearing his lab coat and his normal outfit under it. Slowly he walked into the room and towards were XYY-002 was looking.
"So, we meet again 002.. can't say I missed you." Sean said reaching for the notepad hanging where the bot was looking.
"Indeed, and if we weren't in this cage... I would of killed you by now." XYY-002 replyed looking to Sean, it's eyes filled with the normal red glow of the bots.
"Somehow, I doubt old Assasion would like that.. now what were you doing there? Why the messages? and wheres the base of his now?" Sean asked walking towards the bars.
XYY-002 watched him move then went to grab at the bars, suddenly its body vibrated and studdered as a massive charge of energy pulse through it, forcing the bot to let go and stumble backwards.
"Oh I should meanion.. the bars Are connected into the bases power supply cores, the voltage will go up each time you try to grab the bars." Sean glanced up at the bot, his own eyes seemed filled with anger.
"Understood.. Sean, now you want answers.. I got answers.. that why I let you catch me." XYY-002 Said smirking with his cold metal lips.
"Well enlighten me then." Sean said looking up at the bot, his pen ready to write down what was said.
"Right, Assasion is just about ready to strike.. well we are he's gone soft. The idiot wants to settle down.. start a family.. give up.. we don't.. we want to fight." XYY-002 said before continuing on, "The real Masters have come, they have given us a new plan, a new mission.. a better mission."
Sean looked up for a moent before speaking "What better mission?"
"To rule, to fight, to have this world.. and all worlds. We shall go out and take over." XYY-002 spoke stopping for a moment almost to allow Sean to keep up with it. "WE Are the Tronoz men, we are the next evolution of everything, we are better."
Sean glanced up again "Everything? doubtful."
"We are, and soon the world will see that no superheroes, no other, will help them.. when we blow out their flames." XYY-002 smirked evily as it walked up to the bars, near enough to have it spark towards the bots face. "We will win, you humans will lose, this is the end."
"And what of Gemme and Timothy?" Sean asked, seemingly unphased by the bots attempt to scare him.
"Tim.. the boy will die soon enough, his power has helped us gather our numbers, and perfect us." XYY-002 replyed before glancing up and down the bars. "Gemme.. Miss greys has been the giver of life, for Assasion, he is now not worth our attenion."
"And what of the temporal vortexes?" Sean asked.
"They were a biproduct of the machines work, a side effect of Tim's will." XYY-002 stood back up fully before turning around and walking to the far wall looking at it, for a way to get out.
"That inforced wall.. with the charge also, now Who are masters?" Sean asked glancing up then noting down something.
"They are the Tronoz Hive.. the drones as you call them."
With that Sean turned and walked to the door, "Thats everything I need for now to know 002." Sean opened the door then left as the lights turned off. -
Ok since the first dat and time everyone missed, or forgot about, I have set a new Time date for it Sunday 21st at appox 8:30 pm gmt time. Now we meet at the GG statue then onwards to the meeting room. Please give any and all feed back on this to me before Friday, so I can should it happen, redo yet another time for it.
-
Right thought I would finaly post this up for those involed with the plotline: For better or worst. As suggested by a few involed, and by myself, that there should be a Meeting to get a full battle plan sorted out and such. now so far the date and time is appox Thursday 11th of Sept, at 8:30 pm GMT (uk time)
Now want I would like to know is if this is fine with all those involed or if there is a better time/ date for the meeting to take place in game. -
VGX-3 glanced from Bill to Amber, noting both of them had spoke to it.
"Defence plan: Best choice is: Offensive strike."
VGX-3 then hovered down so it was closer to Amber.
"Target hero: You wish unit to: Blast them back a bit: Question."
VGX-3's A.I progarm went into overdrive trying to figure out a plan and what Amber had meant by 'blast them back a bit' as it had no idea of direction, or what she want blasted back. -
Character taking part: Drade (yes I know he's technically "dead")
Level: 50
When: any evening from about 8pm (GMT uk time) to about midnight, please give notice. -
VGX-3 flew up behind Bill, it's roar from the booster jets died down as they switched over to hover mode.
"Target Heroes, how can this Unit assist you?" Its voice echoed out, knowing that most likely like before noone would take notice much of it, nor give it something to do and it would have to make up it's own attack plan. -
The beginning of the end.
Sean's Warehouse base: Very early sunday morning.
Sean paced up and down the lab workstation, he had beeen in his lab for many hours by now, after yet another interesting three hours spent talking to the Longbow. He had been there to ask about a chemical weapon bomb he and a few of his close friends had disarmed on the Up 'n' away roof in Galaxy City. It had gone missing from his lab transport truck it appeared during a routine transport between his warehouse and the Longbow command center, and he wanted answers.
However he never got them, instead he had been told that the case was closed, and there had been no record of the device being transported to them, in other words it had been taken away by them, or another group and he wasn't going to get it back.
Now he paced up and down, half in deep thought, half in worry, mumbling to himself as he paced.
"Gee wiz.. that just perfect.. the device is classed as missing in action." He muttered, turning on the spot and walking back.
"And there the whole thing of who.. and the Assasion case.." He murmured looking up at the monitor screen as a beep sounded out.
"Sean, im picking up another flux." Coms voice came out from the speaker.
"Oh where?" Sean asked walking towards the console.
"The teeeemmppp-" Coms voice echoed out, however it seemed to slow and drag out the word before coming to a sudden stop.
"Coms?" Sean asked again looking up at the screen, it had coms wire frame face on it, but it was frozen in motion as with everything else around him.
The room became a eirey slience, with a greyish tint to it, everything in it was stopped nothing moved, nothing made a sound. Sean glanced around in a panic, glancing from one side to the other to see if there was anything working, anything he could use to see what was happening.
He paniced more and dashed for the door, only to smack into it.
"OW.." Sean called out, rubbing his nose as he stubbled backwards, ".. that hurt."
"Indeed.." A voice suddenly said from behind him.
Sean froze on the spot, not daring to turn about nor did he try to see who the voice was.
"W-who.. said.. whoes there?" Sean asked nervously.
"Do not worry Sean, I am a friend." The voice said, this time a little louder than before.
"How you know my name? who are you?" Sean asked turning slowly about to see who was there.
Standing on the far side of the room was a person, covered by a dark royal blue robe, the voice was gravel and crackled and the persons head was covered by a hood in the same colour as the robe and cape, the only thing that he could see was the persons nose, wringly and pointy like a witches.
"Who or waht I am Sean is not important." The person said stepping closer to him, the voice was male.
"But?" Sean blunted out as the robed man held up his hand, which it self was covered in a dull orange glove.
"It isn't important, however what is.. is this." The robed man said looking up a little.
"Huh? what?" Sean asked in confusment.
"I came here to give you a message, to tell you that you must not give up, you must free them Sean." The robed man said this time again walking towards him.
"I wasn't planning to, now what message?" Sean asked frowning at the person.
"That you must free both, Timothy and Gemme, soon and that you must launch you spacestation and form the Alliance of heroes." The robed man said holding out his hand, in it was a small device which looked just like Sean's Universal scanner.
"Yea.. but you.. how?" Sean asked looking down at the device.
"This will help you, and forget about that bomb.. it has been taken care of.. our friends here took it away." The Robed man said as Sean glanced up at him.
He had been joined by two Droi Drones, each hovering one side of the robed man, they nodded to Sean before letting of a bright flash of light into his eyes.
Slowly as the noise of the room returned, and the flash died away from his eyes he heard the voice say "Remember, Tim isn't a power one man should control."
Sean glanced about and nodded his head before glancing down at his hand, there was the device he had seen in the hand of the robed man.
"-ppporal flux is within the base Sean." Coms voice sounded out again back tot he normal speed.
"I know Coms.." Sean said blinking a few times before looking at the monitor screen, ".. It's gone now."
Coms took a few moments before his wire frame head nodded in agreement.
"We got work to do.. and a base to get spacebound.. and a guy to get rid off.." Sean said walkign over to the console again
"Sean.. how did you know the temporal flux had disappeared again?" Coms Asked as he walked over to the monitor.
"Simple Coms.. I spoke to it.. and no.. im not going to explain it all just check this device out and call the others, we got a meeting to get put together." -
VGX-3 Glance up at the 30ft high monster now that was swating away the flying heroes and stomping it's way further into Kings Row, it's scanners once again flared up and scanned the area of the city and the monster. It showed that the glowing bits now at the monsters core was most likely the "power source" for the thing, and that it was slowly heading towards the main part of Kings row.
Results: Life forms merged: New life form: Unknown.
Actions: Destruction of target: POD cause.
Course of action: Attempt to destory life form: Protect city.
Power Supply: Medium: Cores At: 50% Effectively: Drained.
Resupply: Unable no power cable: Course of Actions: Return to base: or Fight: Answer: Fight monster.
Best corse of action: Find pilot human: use merge systems to: Enable meta mode.
Heroes: best chioce: willing: Unknown.
With that scrolled across it's visor, the suit took flight, towards the monster and the group of heroes.
Maybe one of them would find out how powerful this unknown battle suit was, or maybe it would once again take on the monster like it did the smaller ones. -
VGX-3 had almost lost it's balance when the monster had stomped on the ground, however luckily there was a wrecked car next to the suit which it had grabbed hold of quickly to steady it's self. Before once again slowly making it's way towards Helena, then noticing Uinion darting across to her side, VGX-3 stopped in it's tracks before slowly walking up towards him.
"Target Hero: is she ok?" VGX-3 asked, it's voice was more sounding like that of a computer progarm A.I than human given it's emotionless tone. -
VGX-3 righted itself, as the Pod had died, the gas cloud lifting meant it could now see the group of heroes rather than the bio scans and thermol it had been using to keep track of them. Before it was the long shollow crator it had made by pure mistake when it hadn't of enganged the support clamps before the full power beam blast.
Slowly the robotic armour bot started to move up the cretor, it knew it's group would pay for the damages caused by it mostly, still it's progarmming was going mad at it's self for not following everything to the letter. Has VGX-3 got to the level where it could clearly see the green goo covering, the dead pod and the stream of orange glows it took a moment to study them then noticing that they appeared to be flowing towards the hero on the ground, it quickly sped up it's pace and went to move the hero out of their way. -
VGX-3 had watched the clone of Union run from it's blasts, the flower come back and send off the purple light, none of which effect it, however it could see on it's scanners that the clones were trying to defend the Pod, and they were attempting to drive back what ever heroes were there attacking the Pod. With it's flight mode still online, VGX-3 flew towards the line of clones, switching it's direction so the bring it in a line with a good few of them. It's robotic hands switch back to blasters, then clipped together to form a much big gun, it's beam cannon the range of it wasn't great and it only had enough power for a single long blast of it, but it's AI progarm had made it's "mind" up, it was the only course of action other than flying and ramming them at full speed, which it would do next.
VGX-3 began to charge up the cannon, the eeire blue glow coming from deep inside the barrel and the low loud hum of the energy build up echoed out as the almight blast shot forth, aimed directly at the heads of the line of clones. As the bema shoot out, the gas around it parted the air cusion caused by the blast was effect to knock most people over, the beam struck the first clone pasting though it's head, then the next and next to that.
In all it took out seven clones, from the different heroes that had been cloned, however the blast itself the recoil from it had sent VGX-3 soaring backwards, the bot hadn't put the shock supports or lock clamps on it's legs. It was as if it just did the blast as a last resort, of course this meant the beam suddenly shot off wildly as it was sent backwards and off target, hitting what or who ever was in the way. -
VGX-3 retacted the supports from it's legs and twisted about to look a the metoerite "pod" in the middle of the now battlefield that once was a small area of Kings row. it's A.I progarm still worked like cazy trying to give the suit as many options and tactical input as possible, grading each fight around it by number, going by how badly each hero was doing against the clones. Commander Union seemed to having trouble, as was Steve and the hero next to him. It was a choice to make one hero or the other, unlike a person VGX-3 had no emotions, no feelings, no sense of what or how humans valued life so to it, it was a choice by the person most likely to need assistance and live long enough for it to get to the hero. With that VGX-3 twisted about on the spot and activacted it's flight mode, unfolding the wings from it's shoulder pads and the boosters on it's back and legs. hovering upjust enough for it to no longer be in contact with the ground it flew off as fast as it could towards Commander Union, it's path took it straight into the nearest Clone of him, as it flew its blasters switched back to it's robotic hands then began to glow as the energy pumped into him, it was going to try and take out at least one of them.
It's A.I had done the maths, one large hulk of a battle bot vs one or more Commander Union clones would at least make a small dent. -
VGX-3 sensors picked up on the army of hero clones coming from the "pod" as it had been labeled by it's A.I program, it had also noticed Bill soar upwards then drive down at the "pod" area. it's A.I program ran as many scans and results as it possibly could in the minute this all took place.
Targets: Clones. Heroes: assist. Target object: POD: destory: confirmed.
Targets: Clones: orders: Destroy: protect civilains at all costs.
Energy level: Opt. Blaster power: Stable: Max.
Battlefronts: Area Around POD: Mutiply clones: best use of weapons: Sweep arc Blasts: Beam Blasts: Energy blasts rapid fire.
It's visor flashed up as it switched it's aimming to the group coming from the "pod", without warnning it shot off the sniper charged blast at the group, aimming for the heads of the Clones, hopeing it would disable as many as it could in one long line. -
VGX-3 shoots landed, one after the other, it's clone reeled from the impacts then the orange glow coming from it's visor screen flickered before the hulk fell to the floor.
"Target: Clone :disabled.
Life sign scan: No response: Result: Dead from: Impacts."
The progarm flashed up on it's visor screen before scanning the area, and showing up a air veiw top down of the area, highlighting each battle as it happend, where each person and clone was. The heroes had the code "Prime" tagged on before their names, the clones were just called clones.
VGX-3 twisted around on the spot and picked out one of the clone targets from the scan radar, switching his right arm from the normal blast mode to it's long barreled sniper mode and began charging it up to full power. Slowly as it charged it's legs clamped down onto the ground, and small support pads unfolded and connected into the ground, in order to take the feed back force from the full powered blast it was ready to unleash at the target clone.
"Hero Targets: Call names and duck, Unit will fire at: Clone Target choice." VGX-3 Shouted out as loud as it possible could to make sure this time it was heard.
((Anyone who wants him to sniper blast their clone or blast the clones, give him a shout. He's there to act as a range support bot for the heroes of the city anyway, he's only following his programming to assist them.
I'll leave it up to you how his blasts effect, and his responses, or pm me for me to take the point))
