Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The untamed streets of Legion World

<innocent children walking through the streets, relieved at the recent capture of the Royal Inquisitor>

That's it! I'm still bruised and battered from yesterday, but I'm coming after you Bee!!! I got safety netting, smoke bombs and I'm gonna make you rue the day you set foot on Legion World!!! You'll be lurking 6 feet under from now on.

That's it! The hives!

gotta run...

Bee! No!

At least have the decency to lose the Captain Comet avatar!

I agree OM. He still looks so clean cut, square jawed etc. He won't look so pretty when I've cleaned his clock for him.

<gasping, hacking, delirious staggering>

The pollen... the bees....

<throws cloak to Matlock>

Buildings destroyed...innocents harmed...and it keeps getting worse...

We need to bring this bastard down...

<pulls cloak tighter>

***ha-CHOOO***

sniff...

Cobie. Research revealed... natural enemies of bees... bears... skunks. Aack. certain parasites... wheeeze...

must be of some use. but how? rally the cub house?

HAH-CHOO!!!

the bees will pay a heavy toll.

<Hrun and matlock tumble off the patio at Cramer's out into the dingy alleyways of Legionworld>

Very well young stripling! Let's see if you have what it takes to beat the old man!

Hey, the interton trash can lid! I need it now more than ever.

<lid in one hand, spinning pretzel maker above head in other, matlock circles his berserker prodigy>

Though filled with a killing rage Hrun is still an old Barbarian fighter (and just think about how “good” that must make him) so he circles Matlock warily as he eyes up the strange pretzel weapon.

Then he dummy’s left and attacks to the right the blows rain down heavily on Matlock’s inertron trash can lid bending it out of shape but otherwise protecting Matlock.


“Hold back there kid we got to talk” says Matlock but to no avail, the Barbarian is not listening.

Realising that his sword is not powerful enough Hrun sheaths it and draws out Hrunfilgar the battle axe.

“Listen boyo the sword didn’t break this, what makes you think that axe can. Look we really need to talk” Says Matlock.

Hrun attacks and Matlock once more raises the inertron trash can lid. To his horror the axe slices cleanly through the makeshift shield and cuts deep into his arm leaving it limp and useless.

“I have to get away from him, give him time to calm down.” Thought Matlock and activating his coffee vision he blasts Hrun with a Double Espresso knocking him backwards. Taking advantage of the momentary respite Matlock vanishes through Stoopid Cats tesseract system.


to step out in the midst of battle

on this mysterious island

<little boy looks on from his window>

Gee Willikers Ma! Two LMBers are battling in the streets!

“Get ready for school!!!” she barks

“Aw, shucks!” says the kid…

<Reemerging from the tesseract portal from Greg Evigan Island>

Hrun!!! Where are you boy? Doggone it you get out here right now!

<follows trail of wreckage and coffee pot debris...>

<A mob of 100,000 has gathered outside the LMB constitutional convention as Tamper speaks. Many in the mob carry weapons and signs denouncing the dictatorial powers of the Office of Security and its agent.>

...a growing isidious threat growing on the bowels of Legion World. The Office of Security led by the Sexual Deviant Cobalt Kid and the Dudley Do-Right... of Space are a creeping menace to the lives and prosperity of all of you.

I pledge that this convention will restore the rights of the people of Legion World.

<Tamper enters the hall. The most millitant elements of the mob march with their weapons towards the Office of Security, attacking government property along the way. The rest cordon off the Convention Hall subjecting delegates trying to enter with a hail of abuse.>

<little boy pauses in the streets>

Wait! You’re all crazy!

Don’t you remember it was here that Matlock saved us from the Royal Inquisitor?

And it was here that Cobalt Kid and Space Ranger battled the Red Bee! And Dark Stu! And Phineas B. Fuddle!

The Security Office has always protected us, specifically on the streets of Legion World!

*choke* What are you all doing?

<crowd begins to murmur>

“He’s right!” says an old grandmother, “we owe them our lives a thousand times over!”

<bearded dock worker speaks up>

“It’s that evil genius guy, that Tamper Lad! He’s screwing with us!”

<Crazy Lou, the town drunk speaks up>

“I say we tar and feather him!”

<finally, Matlock enters>

“No people! Untamed violence is never the answer! We must look to civilized society and live in peace as we always do. Trust us, my friends, we’ll take care of Tamper Lad!”

“You got it Matlock!” they reply in unison.

Hrun enters,
"Feh! who says untamed violence is not the answer? here, try your vaunted coffee vision powers on this" and he throws the stolen coffee machine from Cramers at Matlocks head.

"Once I have found Stoopid Cat I shall return for you. you old youngster. We have unfinshed business you and I"

Here I am again, back out on the streets...just where Matlock gave me the ultimate beating that finally put a stop to my never-ending spiral of violence...

<The Royal Inquisitor enters a dark alley and runs down another side alley. In his arms is the body of Varalent, recently pulled from SHAKES . The Emerald Eye isn't seen, but the green glow suggests its presence is near>

Wake up Varalent! There's no signs of attack, no bruises...I can't tell what happened. I need to find someone who can...

<looks at Vee's face>

I can't see his face--everything is shrouded in green...

The glare isn't being helped by my mask, but I don't dare remove it. Where shall I take him?

<notices old wino, tries to move quicker>

Hm, this is the seedy part of Legion World that few ever venture into. I need to be careful here...

...but I know someone who is close...

pop

There you are! I don't take kindly to sucker punches!

***Lard Lad to Security Office. Found them! Lock in on my coordinates!***

<both hands glow purple>

Put him down, Roy! Or this will get...nasty.

Lard Lad!

I see running from you simply isn't smart. But I can tell you with all honesty that I won't be attacking you again.

You were away for a long time when I made my way here. I did things I'm not proud of. But I was on Legion World for over a year in hiding and I knew these streets well, thanks to the Red Bee.

The Emerald Eye is speaking to me somehow, I can feel it. Its telling me to get Vee away from you and everyone else. The danger is still very real. Some...*thing*...is near, and it wants Vee.

So once again, I must bid you farewell.

<pushes a brick into the side of a building and immeditely a platform falls out from underneath him. A tesseract transport picks up the Royal Inquisitor and Vee and sends him somewhere else on Legion World. Normally, the Security Office would be able to monitor or stop this, if not for the damage that Gary Concord and Lonestar Ranger did to the tesseracts months ago to allow them to get around easier>

<the Royal Inquisitor and Vee are gone>

<recovers>

***Lardy to Security Office...***

Damn! Where the hell are the other Officers?

***...fugitive has escaped with victim to parts unknown...need full detail scouring streets ASAP!
Meanwhile, I'll go back to SHAKES to search for clues...Lardy out!***

pop

<security officers examining streets>

<enter Cobalt Kid with Jailbait Lass taking notes>

Damn, there was a time when I good have just tapped into the satellite monitors of Legion World and seen for myself what happened. But those days are over...which I'm sure Reboot and other members of the LMB are glad about

So the Inquisitor kidnapped Vee? Or after reading Lardy's report, what the Inquisitor was saying implies something more sinister. I guess we'll have to see...

<notices smashed bottle with liquid. Puts finger to it. Sniffs>

Hm. This is that wino Roy and Lardy saw. If we could get a word with him it'd corroborate the story, though that's not important.

<pauses>

That's interesting. This wasn't wine at all. It was only water.

<pulls off gloves>

We're going to need a full crime scene investigation. Let me know how it goes. Jailbait Lass, follow me...

Dammit! They're everywhere! Don't they realize they're little game of cops & robbers is delaying me on my quest to obtain my birthright!

Hmm...

New Faces appear just as strange things start happening. I think I'll be keeping close tabs on this one...

pop

Crap! There's zombies EVERYWHERE!

<starts blasting>

Looks like they started the Slim's raid while I was gone...but I'm needed here!

Des...you guys are on your own!

<blasts a zombie before it can bite a civilian>
