Don't mind me, I'm just opening up Legion World's latest charitable endeavor here!
Yet another project funded by the spoils of the armies of Legion World, I might add!

So it's the opposite of killing your parents and then feeling sorry for yourself because you're an orphan?
Posted by Faraway Lad on :
Eryk
I'm a little unsure of whats going on here. Are we funding an orphanage with the loot brought back. Or are we filling the orphange with the kids and slaves the armies bring back after another succesfull campaign
Posted by Greybird on :
The Triumvirate does NOT take slaves. We will only fight miscreants, and then only when necessary. (Loot, that's another story {rueful grin})
No, this orphanage is for those who are left without parents because they've been lost in the line of duty. Superheroing is a tough business, and more than a few make the ultimate sacrifice. Many of their children are themselves well-powered, and they need guidance, especially without their own loved ones to help them.
Posted by Faraway Lad on :
So it’s a academy then? But we are calling it an orphanage as a tax dodge right?
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Yet another project funded by the Legion World armies and it's Triumvirate! Great job, EDE!
These children not only get a great place to live, but they get to read all these books about how great the Triumvirate is and how great the armies are, so that one day they can offer their armed service to the Triumvirate!
Tax dodge? Could anything as genuine and heart-warming as an Orphanage be considered as something like this? (How much are we dodging?).
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Let's just say with the money we're saving, there may be more than just a swingset on the way...
Posted by Leap Year Lass on :
Don't think you can buy my silence, Ester.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
*sigh* Has it ever occurred to you that I might just be trying to do something nice for you, LYL?

Lets just say R J Brandes fortune got a significant hike. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I'm bringing in some of the other boys for the Orphanage. Although I was against it at first, I've decided to start training them with the use of a sword and spear, so that those who wish can one day join my armies and serve under the great Triumvir, Cobalt Kid.
Of course, this is only for the young men (and women) who would wish to have this honor.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Trained in sword and spear? Does that make them more adoptable?
Just how many little tykes are in this orphanage?
Posted by Super Lad Kid on :
Is either Lori Morning or LoriMorning here?
Posted by The Red Bee on :
*Across down, away from the carnage, Legion World's youth continue uninterrupted.*
*Suddenly all chaos breaks out.*
Posted by Sir Roy on :
Nay base knave! You have hurt us and you may have immense power, but there are still those who stand against you!
Show thy self!
<Sir Roy stands between the Bee and the children.>
Posted by The Red Bee on :
Very well.
Let's have at it Roy! I stil owe you for choosing the wrong side during Infinite Crisis!
*Immediately swarms Roy, leaping on top of him, grabbing his throat and releasing the deadly toxin.*
Posted by Sir Roy on :
Aaaargh!!
<Roy roles back, his armor burning off, as he flips the Bee off. Roy once more grabs his sword.>
Very well! If I die today, I die defending Legion World!
<charges the Red Bee for a killing blow, thrusting his sword into his torso.>
Posted by Tempest on :
(Teleports in and sees Sir Roy with his sword in Red Bee. Tempest smiles, almost sadistically.)
Posted by The Red Bee on :
*The Bee is stunned by the blow, but then looks down and smiles at the sword sticking out of his torso.*
You've succeeded where you desired...the children have all escaped. But you, knight, have not.
*Grabs Sir Roy, this time in anger, and uses his super strength to crush his back in a bear hug. He unleashes the ooze again all over and bees swarm all around.*
You did good Roy...you made amends...but your path is over now. Rest in piece.
*Thousands of Bees descend on them both stinging Roy as the Bee overloads Roy's centers...until his heart at last gives out.*
Posted by The Red Bee on :
*Discards Roy and smiles.*
The magic-user--you've changed but I remember you. You'll have one problem thought, courtesy of Zardi. You see...now I'm immune to magic!
*Leaps at Tempest, as a swarm of bees follow stinging her. He lands a crushing blow across her back with his fist.*
Posted by Tempest on :
(Tempest writhes in agony.)
That stupid man--
he'll get his.
But just because--- ---my magic won't hurt you--
AHHHH!!!
MEANS NOTHING ON THE GROUND BENEATH YOU!!!
(The ground breaks and flies at Red Bee.)
Posted by Sir Roy on :
<Roy lays there with a broken back, his heart now failing>
Tr-Tried my best...got those kids to safety...
...in the end, I was a hero...I lost my way...but I came back to my path...
...Legion World...saved me...
Posted by Power Boy on :
<Power Boy rockets down from the sky smashing ferociously into the Red Bee ... forcing him away from Tempest>
"MURDERER!!!!!"
Posted by Dev Em on :
Dev lands next to Tempest. "Get Roy to help and then get back here as soon as you can. We need everyone in on this...but he needs help...his back is broken, and I don't know how much longer his heart id going to hold out."
He looks at Power Boy and Red Bee fighting.
"Alternating attacks now PB!" He yells as he takes off, his eyes starting to glow red hot as he blasts Red Bee in the face with his heat vision.
Posted by The Red Bee on :
*The Bee is knocked backwards from the impact.*
You young fool! The body count was almost two! Now you'll suffer!
*The Bee waits for Power Boy's next attack, and when it comes he absorbs the blow and latches on; then he unveils another power...*
Telepath? Let me share my thoughts!
*Two tentacles emerge from the Red Bee's forehead and latch onto Power Boy's face; an instant telepathic blast issues forth.*
Posted by Power Boy on :
<Power Boy struggles against the telepathic tentacles ... >
"Arrr ... "
<Dev's heat vision strikes the Bee .... allowing PB to stumble back >
<he recoups .. >
"Legionnaires TOGETHER!!!"
Posted by Tempest on :
(Clutches on to Dev Em's arm and raises herself up.)
Power Boy!
(She summons the pipes from below, water gushed from the ground. She concentrates and hurls a small geyser at Red Bee!)
Posted by Hot Chick on :
{Hot Chick and Furball arrive} As instructed earlier, she concentrates her light blasts into intense heat on his knives}
Posted by Furball on :
Furball jumps and tackles Red Bee, shoving the glowing hot knives into the Red Bees shoulders and breaking them off.
Posted by The Red Bee on :
*Thousands of bees swarm them all!*
Let's see what you got, halfsie!
*Grabs hold of Dev Em and uses strength to put him in front of Hot Chick and Furball's attacks.*
Posted by Dev Em on :
Dev presses the attack by flying full speed at the Red Bee and hitting his shoulders as hard as he can.
He then grabs the Bee and flies up and throws him into the steel street as hard as he can.
Posted by Tempest on :
Leave them alone!!!
Posted by The Red Bee on :
*The Bee hurls Dev at Hot Chick, Furball and Power Boy, and in the confusion once more focuses on the weakened Tempest.*
I'm not done with you yet, witch!
*The Bee unleashes a toxin more powerful than any before, causing her nervous system to completely shut down. As he does it, he smashes her into the orphanage playground.*
You die like the Knight.
Posted by Tempest on :
(Tempest throws random debris at Red Bee.)
I won't go down easily.
And even if you kill me, I won't go!
Zardi may protect you from magic...but spirits are another matter. I WILL COME FOR YOU!!!
(Wraps his feet in roots.)
Posted by Dev Em on :
"TEMPEST!!" Dev screams as he takes off and plows Red Bee off his feet away form her.
Posted by The Red Bee on :
*Though it slows him down, he eventually breaks free and approaches her.*
You've got spirit, I'll give you that. But it ends now.
*In his most savage attack yet, he leaps at her and pins her down, crushing both risks and pumping her full of toxins strait to her nervous system.*
Posted by Dev Em on :
Dev flies up behind him and grabs his arms from behind him and pulls tham off her. He then grags him in a bear hug...literally using every ounce of strength he can muster to pull himback off of her.
"Power Boy, anyone hit him!!!"
Posted by Hot Chick on :
{blasts the Bee full-force while Dev holds him}
Posted by Tempest on :
(Tempest's body convulses viciously. She is silent, she is in too much agony to scream. All she can do is cry. As her eyes close, the air picks up. A twister erupts from around her and throws a barrier over her. It is old magic...friendship...for over the years, Tempest has becomes the air's friend and in her greatest need, it has come to protect her.)

Posted by Furball on :
Furball avoids the blast from Hot chick and draws more knives and thrusts them into what he hopes is Red Bees heart.
He tries to move bac, but is expecting the worst.
Posted by The Red Bee on :
*As he pulls back he knows Tempest is finished.*
You're a tough one, Dev Em! But I know your weakness...
*Bees swarm Dev, covering his entire body to block it from the sun.*
But these blows are starting to do damage...
*The Bee's internal organs are alien to the LMBP but they've been crushed by Dev Em and Power Boy.*
It may be time to exit...
Posted by Hot Chick on :
{continues blasting the Bee as he tries to retreat}
Posted by Furball on :
Furball starts throwing anything he has left at him.
Posted by The Red Bee on :
*The additional assaults do more damage and the Red Bee steps back.*
Two deaths might be my limit today...
*And suddenly, the Red Bee's body begins to dissolve into tiny little particles, which upon closer inspection are little bees. And suddenly, only a giant swarm is there, which dissipates...and the Bee is gone.*
Posted by Power Boy on :
NOOOOO
<Power Boy blasts the bees off Dev>
<He raises his mega rod to the Red Bee>
DIEEE!!!!
<An immense blasts strikes where the Red Bee is as he disappears >
I FOUND YOU ONCE RED BEE, I WILL FIND YOU AGAIN!!!!!!
Posted by Dev Em on :
Dev falls to his knees, looks to where Tempest is laying and reaches towards her and then he passes out.
Posted by Hot Chick on :
We...we hurt him. But...at what cost? {looks at the still bodies of Roy and Tempest}
Posted by Sir Roy on :
<Roy hovers in the verge of death...>
Before I go...I'd like to see Lard Lad again...and Rockhopper Lad...
...*cough*...
...I...I...I...think in the end...I made amends...
Posted by Tempest on :
(The wind dies down, it knows the danger has past. All that is left is Tempest's still body.)
Posted by Furball on :
Furball stands up. his hands are a scorched mess from wher eHot Chick had initially scalded his first set of knives.
He makes his way over to HotChick, "Get Tempest to the Hospital now hon." He then goes to his brothers side.
"Great..."
Posted by Hot Chick on :
I...don't know if she is still with us, but...I'll get her to Cobalt! {picks Tempest up and flies her to the Rookery}
Posted by Furball on :
Furball brushes the hair back out of his face.
"C'mon bro...give me a sign. Where's you move your heart this time?" Furball is feelingdifferent points of Devs body for is heartbeat.
"Got it. Faint as hell, but t's there."
He slowly stands up, and grabs Dev's comlink. "Where the hell is everyone...we have casualties..."
Posted by Hot Chick on :
{picks up Sir Roy to take him to the Rookery} Live or die, brave Knight, you'll see those two in a moment...just hang on...
Posted by Furball on :
Static is all he's met by.
He sees Hot Chick comingback for Roy.
He bends down and picks up his brothers body.
"Hold on bro," he says as he starts to run to the Rookery.

<Power Boy stares darkly at where the Red Bee used to be>
Mother Box ... analyze the Red Bee's teleportation signature. <A small rectangular devices becomes visible on Power boy's left arm ... it crackles with energy .. and floats into the air where the Red Bee vanished >
<It glows with energy for a long moment as if analyzing>
It speaks -- > "Ping .............. Ping Ping ...."
<Power Boy nods, and the small device floats back to his arm>
"Take me there"
<A circular portal opens with a gust of wind from the vaccum>
"I am coming for you Red Bee"
< ... and Power Boy steps through>
