Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board A Faraway Room

Just bumpin this onto the front page or else even I cant find my way to my own room

I thought I’d share the news that I just won Superboy 86 (the 4th legion appearance) from ebay. It was a bit pricey, but I guess that’s what happens when you try to buy a 1961 comic. Cant wait to get my hands on it.

They sure can be. I've picked a few old ones myself on eBay. Sometimes, if the seller is unfamiliar with comics, you can pick up some great ones at a bargin, but those are getting scarcer & scarcer.

BTW, enjoy #86!

From far away, across the waves...

Can you hear me?

<'ports in>

Faraway? Darden? Are you here?

You weren't at HQ, and as memory serves, this was your place. I remember it was a lot bigger and more expansive than it appears to be, so you may be here somewhere. And even if not, this place has a special connection with your power that makes it possible to contact you even when you're out.

I've heard you've shown some interest in the concerns I've raised about Cobalt. I know the three of us used to have a very tight friendship, so I hope you'll be open to hear what I have to say...

At your office there's an extensive report from LGH and Doctor One affirming that I'm who I say I am and that I'm quite sane...so I hope you'll help me.

Cobalt's dangerous, Darden. He murdered me, I swear it! And he needs to stand trial for that and his role in what happened to Slim's planet, for starters...

<looks around>

Do you hear me, old friend?

didn't he have another place, too?

keep digging through the archives, Lardy. I'm almost certain he had another room in more recent usage than this old place.

* suddenly Cobalt Kid and Lard Lad appear*

...wha--? Ugh...

<nose bleeding, stomach hurts>

Lardy...need to find out if we're in the proper time...

<looks up>

<smiles>

Well, well, fellow fugitive. Luck has gone our way. We're in the farthest place possible for someone to find us.

This is Castle Faraway!

I've theorized that somehow Justin Thyme sent Faraway Lad and Gigglebot Girl somewhere far away, as getting rid of the LMB leader would cause some further problems. Might be worth it to take a minute to explore. And get some ginger ale and crackers for our stomachs...

Crackers and ginger ale! Om nom nom!

<Exits Hyperbolic Orbit 500 feet above Castle Faraway. Scans Castle with x-ray vision>

I don't want to wreck Far's Ancestral Home... So...

There, that will do nicely...


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(I'll need to end this quick...)

<drinks ginger ale>

No sign of Faraway. Place has been deserted.

Lardy, I know they can't track me, but likely they can track you, after you've been held in a security office cell. If Space Ranger gets here, I'm telling you, be ready. There is no LMBer I'd rather not fight now. In battle, he's ferocious and pretty direct--no dillydallying or making himself look good. He'll try to take us out.

Right now, we need to find Numbnuts the Semi-Incomprehensible, and find out which LMBer may be under Justin Thyme's control. If we could get ahold of Jailbait Lass, she might be able to help...

<gathers some more crackers>

We need as much supplies as we can get. This is go time big guy. We're on the real run here...it doesn't get much more exciting than this!

He's here! Get ready!

<magnetic globe around him, all of the hundreds of ancestral weaponry throughout the Castle begin floating around Cobalt>

Ohmygod!!! Like Major OOPSIE!!!!

<giggle>

<Comes up from the catacombs benieth the castle>

<Hits Lardy From Behind driving him thru the floating weaponry and into Cobalt before either of them realize hes even there, taking the three of them out thru the large window and into the courtyard below. Both Lardy and Cobalt are stunned but not unconscious.>

I'm giving both of you one chance to surrender...


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(I won't ask nicely a second time...)

Ranger...

<erects Lard Forcefield>

...we're all being duped here! This Justin Thyme is behind everything somehow! We need to stop fighting each other and get to the bottom of this!!!

OOC Post...

Ignore the Brat... She hates to be left out of anything...

Pick up from the SR post...

End OOC...

<**Deja Vue all over again**>

<Comes up from the catacombs benieth the castle>

<Hits Lardy From Behind driving him thru the floating weaponry and into Cobalt before either of them realize hes even there, Grabs the two of them and smashes the three of them out of the room thru the large window and into the courtyard below. Both Lardy and Cobalt are stunned but not unconscious.>

I'm giving both of you one chance to surrender...


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(I won't ask nicely a second time...)

Surrender THIS!

<blasts him with powerful Lard Force beam>

<Uses super breath --while flying backwards-- to encase Lardy from the neck down in a block of ice.>


Okay No Surrender, Then?


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Please accept this BEAT-DOWN in the manner which it is given...)

<'ports out of ice and appears behind Ranger, grappling from behind>

Nope!

<blasts Ranger in the ears point blank>

<Steps out of Tesseract Portal with My Wee Fem>

Ohmygod! Quick, like over here...

<Throws himself forward and rolls into a ball just as Lardy blasts him in the ears, Lardy flies over his head and lands flat on his back, but the Ranger is momentarially stunned>

Nice Shot Lardy... But no bingo...


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Just give me a split second...)

*ungh* I fight dirty, Ranger!

<looks over at Cobalt and sees he's still stunned>

Looks like I gotta go the first few rounds...

Hmmm...not any fat cells to drain from you, Ranger...maybe this one'll be mano y mano...

<blue Lard Force grow surrounds him and greatly enhances strength>

...time to hiy ya while yer down!

<charges and hits Ranger full boar in the face>

<Rolls with Lardy's charge and throws himself backwards, managing to turn Lardy so that he lands heavily on top of him. He gets in a short right fist to the ribs and a chopping left to Lardy's eye before a Lard force burst throws him away from Lardy...>

You're tougher than I thought... Give up before I stop Holding Back...


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Crap, did I just see the girls?)

<wipes eye, grins>

You think I'm not holding back?

<blasts him into the stratosphere>

<approaches Cobalt>

C'MON, Des--snap out of it! We can take him down a lot quicker together!

Brit, Cobie is still on the ground over there...

I've got the non-metallic handcuffs and leg-irons...
