@_@

A limited supply of nuts. in this place. falls over laughing hysterically

Hellcat crept back, reaching out and grapping one of the unconscious soldiers. He drew vitality from the unconscious man, giving himself superhuman speed. He left the man lying behind the crates and took off, streaking past Nemesis and grabbing the mayor. Snatching the helpless bureacrat out of the chair, Hellcat lit out, leaping past Nemesis once more. The old rogue saw no more than a blur, suddenly realizing he'd been duped, he turned towards the office.

"Stop the Hero!" screamed the Prussian Prince.


At those words the doors to the warehouse base exploded in a spectacular blast of energy. Flinging shrapnel and the 6 door guards backwards. Framed by the smoke In the Door way standing like some armored god of war was the imposing figure of Lord Dire himself his right hand crackling with reddish energy. His armors sensors registered the swift blur that was the hero Hellcat carrying the abducted form of Mayor. But Lord Dire didnt interfere his focus was on Nemesis and ending his rivals existence immediately

Behind him in leaped the wicked fast form of the Mutai Kid. the martial artist protected by the force field that lord dire had imparted to him nimbly dodged shot and shell and what he didnt dodge bounced off the protective field. the impacts lessened to a mild bruising. and began to attack with all the brusing skill at his command.

"Face me if you dare you doddering simpleton! Face Lord Dire! Face your own death!" his voice boomed over the clamor and battle going on around him.

Striding forward his armors energy auras combined with the destrium plating served to protect him from the withering barrage of return fire. his arms lashed out right and left blasts of energy slamming into man and machine alike with bone breaking force. Seeing his quarry ahead of him Lord Dire charged with a roar of fury. Using a bone smashing blow to remove a final Jaeger mech from his path.

Nemesis seeing his rival opposing him so boldy Roared his Defiance. His own armors steam vents seeming to match their wearers rage. with loud booming steps the 2 arch villians slammed into each other with the explosive smashing sound of a car wreck.

Seeing the Fake was dispatched, Mutai Kid spun on his heels to see what assistance Lord Dire might need. Helping Lord Dire, that will be one for the memoirs! Thought Mutai Kid as he turned to survey the situation behind him.

"Yes!" Lord Dire roared. The Mutai Kid had revived and his sudden assault and well timed destruction of one of the Fake Nemesis robots had caused the other 2 to hesitate. If only for a second, and a second was all he needed.

Activating a series of inherant commands his armors power core built up and channeled a massive surge of energy into his armors field generators. Running swiftly up between the 2 automatons he activated his Armors combat computer. quickly accessing the manuevers, and tactics neccessary for the assault. Lord Dire positoned himself to best aim his attack.

The 2 Automatons turned and said in unison. "This hero is nothing, continue the assault on Lord Dire!"

"Flee Hero! Lord Dire Shouted as a massive glow surrounded him. not wating to see if the hero responded to his commands. Lord Dire unleashed a Small Supernova upon the automatons.

The super energized Plasma stream exploded in a wide area obliterating the 2 Fake Nemesis in a storm of excited particles, and cutting a wide swath through a large section of the nemesis soldiers and machines.

Droping to one knee he rested his Armors systems would require prescious seconds to reboot and recover. A quick scan revealed that the Mutai Kid had indeed Eluded the blast. an impressive feat considering its destructive potential. As his armors systems came back on line he stood his Regal grey cape flowing in the breeze.

"come we must take this fight directly to the source." he stated to the Mutai Kid. "I have triangulated the most likely location for a command bunker." again not wating to see if the superbly skilled Martial Artist followed. Lord Dire set off to kill the snake by cutting off its head.

The impact knocked Mutai Kid backwards, crashing against some steps leading to the plaza across from Blyde Square. Stunned by the impact, MK couldn't move and lay prone as the Warhulk approached. The great pincer arm of the hulking menace grabbed MK and proceeded to toss him back across the square where his unconscious body lay against a signpost.

The Warhulk then spun sideways and proceeded to open fire on the Longbow. "Stop in the name of Justice!" shouted the Longbow leader. But the Warhulk proceeded to fire off a volley of noxious gas bombs at the troop of Longbow, causing some of the Longbow to drop to their knees in fits of coughing.

Fools should have come prepared with gas masks Lord Dire reflected to himself. Nemesis troops were fond of using ammunition loaded with a particularly noxious and toxic gas. Again he would be forced to intervene on behalf of the so called heroes.

A quick bit of elevation landed him on the warhulks "head" . Where he quickly raised both glowing fist clasping them together and then dropping them in a bonesmashing blow that shattered the plexi-steel canister holding the pilot like a glass bowl hit by a sledgehammer. reaching into the opening Lord Dire unleashed a massive blast of energy that caused the rest of the warhulk to explode.

Hovering amongst the smoking debris he landed next to the unconscious Mutai Kid. A quick scan of his bio readings indicated that the hero was merely unconscious with some minor contusions and a couple of broken ribs. nothingt hat could not be fixed. reaching into his belt Lord Dire removed a special device. based on a crey MK25 healing device he had made several improvements in the nanomed infusion process it used. Activating the device he bathed the unconscious hero in its healing green rays then studied the effects quickly. the broken ribs were healed and the contusions rapidly clearing up. the stimulant inhernat in the nanomeds would soon ahve him back on his feet. even now Mutai Kid began to come around.

"On your feet Hero. You are needed." Lord Dire stated imperiously. about to turn back to the battle a sudden explosion rocked him backwards and a second dropped him to one knee. Raising his arms to protect himself he was able to deflect the next bolt but the impact kept him down on one knee.

Not one but three Fake nemesis advanced upon him. IN unison the three stated in booming mechanical voices.

" So Lord Dire you seek to interfere. It well be the last time you do."

As one the three Automatons used there Nemesis Staffs to blast At lord Dire with Force bolts. Each bolt was deflected off his Armors Shielding but they were very powerful and the impact of each drove him back a step. He needed a seconds respite only a second. then he would show that doddering old Fool what true Power was.

*silly kitty choppers are for hellions =b*

What did I win

*welds crabans door shut. fills it with water to the roof. then dumps a hundred pirahna inside*

* CHOPS!!! Blarghy in half with ridiculously huge anime sword.*

Silly walrus stabbies are for stalkers

*pounces feral kat and huggles*

His eyes widened when the trio of heavily armored figures landed on the pavement in front of his helpless form. The leader stepped forward and pointed directly at him.

"Simon Freeman, alias Brainframe. You are in posession of Crey Industries property. You belong to us."

"No he belongs to me." came a reply in a deep baritone that had the hollow doom laden tone of an deep well. the 3 Crey Armored units were formidable in there own right. They would fall none the less.

"Lord Dire!" the Crey Cryo tank said with suprise in his voice. It would eb the last words he would utter. Building up the energy and focusing it through the gauntlets he Released a Short ranged but extremely powerful burst of energy at virtualy point blank range. Lord Dire Crumpled the cryo tanks armored chest plate like an aluminum can shattering the ribs and bursting the organs of the person within.

Using the suprise of his assault Lord Dire refocused the energy into an total focus of devestating potential then rammed both firsts down on the power Tank in the middle. caving in the agents slull and helmet in one blow.

the third remianing tank was a new experimental model Pyro tank. utilising plasma stream ejectors and Crey mark V flamers. recovering form his intial shock the Armored trooper activated his Palsma ejectors unleashing an inferno of heat upon the meddling Meta. seeming to obscure him in burning Plasma. For the briefest of instants a small inferno raged melting the sidewalk. then to his shock A tall imposing figure walked from the conflagration. the flames sloughing off the active Power and insulation shielding of his armor. "No no its impossible." Amping up the intensity The pyro tank opened up on Lord Dire with an intense flame thrower burst formboth gauntlet nozzles. surely he thought this would finish him. then he heard 2 sounds that chilled him.

The first was the tearing sound of metal. the second was the Booming laughter of Lord Dire triumphant. looking down he saw Lord Dire remove an armored arm and fist glowing with energy from hus crumpled chest plate. Another quick barrage of energy enhanced punches finished the job the first powerhouse strike had begun.

Turning to study his handiwork. he was pleased. Brainframe would be free shortly. the intence heat directed at him ahd cracked and melted the icy coccoon within which he was encased. he would break out shortly.

the continued fighting seemed to be intensifying despite the Arriving Longbow and freedom corp reinforcements. He would have to either end this soon or depart.

Focusing and aiming Lord Dire Unelasesd a blast of energy with sniper like accuracy. the powerful blast removingt he head of a fake nemesis causing the tall automaton to self destruct.
"Yes this day is not over yet." he stated as much to himself as to anyone else. he continued ot monitor the course of the battle and waited for his next opportunity to make an impact.

A common misconception actually you have to eat there spleen.

((Lord Dire is my bot/ff MM and an energy energy brute as well as an energy/traps corruptor. lot i know but think your prototype armored megalomaniac))

* Lord Dire had seen enough. Watching form his hidden base, he had been readying a plan to obtain an experimental power generator from one of D.A.T.A.'s labs in Steel.
Teleporting into Paragon City past Portal Corps detection Grids had been easy for one of his advanced intellect, and from there he had proceeded to the Lab where the generator had been stored. A team of heroes had attempted to stop him but he had easilly dispatched them.

Making ready to depart he had been unpleasantly suprised to find himself in the middle of a warzone. "this is unexpected." he though to himself. a quick examination of the battle revealed a scene of utter chaos. a young boy in his teens had fallen defending The Heroine Valkyrie from a horde of nemesis troops and automatons. A giant Jaeger warmachine was being slowly torn apart by a veritable swarm of clockwork robots, and his armors sensors were registering a massive source of radiation nearby. "Positron" he grated through clenched teeth.

He nearly flew off to find the radiation powered hero who had been instrumental in stopping his own Brass monday style invasion some 4 years back. But then reconsidered. Quickly his mind calculated the possibilites.

Nemesis had launched a bold attack on the original anniversary of hsi first major incursion. if unchecked nemesis would have a high probablity of success even with the various so called heroes in the city. Statesman was away in the rogue ilses, he had arraigned a series of emergencies to keep him busy. and the rest of the Freedom Phalanxe was nowhere to be seen.

No this could not be allowed. That bloody pompous fool must not succeed . Only Lord Dire was fit to rule and pretenders such as the so called Prussian prince of Automatons needed to be put in there place. he sent the return coordinates and activated the teleportation sequence sending the generator back to his base, along with the robot minions he had brought with him. He would do this himself. remind the heroes that Lord Dire was back and remind Nemesis and that Fool Recluse that pretenders would not be tolerated.

lifting off using the anti grav system in his advanced powered armor Lord Dire waited patienly for an opportunity to make his presence felt.

He couls almost appreciate the Irony. He himself had rampaged through the Streets of Steel Canyon some 4 years ago and only Statesman and the Freedom Phalanxe had narrowly stopped him forcing him to retreat to his hidden base to plan anew. Now he would be forced to reveal himself ahead of schedule. Nemesis would pay for that he vowed.

Seeing an opportunity He descided to start with Valkyrie. she would need some relief form the overwhelming forces arrayed against her. His armor had just the trick. The Armored gauntlets glowed with an ominous crimson light and unleashed a ball of magnetically accelerated plasma into the surrounding nemesis troops. then not waitng to see the resulting explosive blast he activated a Shield drone and instructed it to shadow Valkyrie after laying down a triage beacon. he also quickly encased the embattled heroine in an forcefield designed to provide isulation, and to deflect any attack that might come to the wearer.

with the beacons healing energy, and the sheild drone providing her with cover . He calculated she would have an increased chance of survival of at least 76.356666 percent even in her current weakend state.

As He turned to leave he spotted an shadowy figure taking aim from the rooftop nearby. Teh Sniper had a clean shot at Valkyrie. well that would certainly not do. Swiftly he activated his flight system and landed next to the Lance Corporal. An bone smashing blow layed the stunned sniper at his feet. grasping the troop by the neck Lord Dire lifted him up with ease, and in a voice cold and measured spoke. "

I know you can hear me old man. Do not think I we'll allow this farce to continue. I am Lord Dire! It is my rule that all well follow. My destiny that well come to pass." then Crushing the soldiers throat he allowed the lifeless corpse to slip form his hand their was still much work to be done.

*hands blarghy the demon tongues*

ripped them out of the lasher demons mouths meself

Artic might correct me but as I understand the outcasts structure. they tend towards young mutants or those that they cna sence ((through the use of some mystic artifacts)) have an elemental affinity.

they then train them or use the artifacts to awaken there powers and let them grow at a natural clip. in fact theres an entire story arc or 2 about the outcasts dealing in stolen artifacts in one, and trying to flood the streets with them in another.

So as I understand there pretty much a combination of both. mutants and mystically altered individuals. only the fact that there a street gang with many opposing allegiances. And by there very nature opposing elements fire vs ice, stone vrs air etc. keeps them from being a trully unified front and a trully terrifying force to be dealt with.

I got the Pot boiling
