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

The Zombie shambles back its feet....it opens it mouth and says....."LLLAAAARRRDDDDDYYYYYYYYY!"

Lardlad looks on in horror as he realizes that THIS zombie is the corpse of none other than Space Ranger.

Shenu's voice roils though the streets "Can you bear to see your loved ones die again? I will have my vengance. I will leave LegionWorld in ruins"

Motes of darkness coalesce until Shenu himself stands in the streets before Lardlad.
"Do your worst o chunky one, its time you learned your full power is no match to mine"

<flies in from the Ice Palace>

What the--? Really? More? Ewwww! *sighs* I know they're the undead but this is ridiculous.

<fires down white hot flames while floating above the masses>

Ugh, it still smells but at least we're in an open place now. *sigh* I wish the others were here to help... and not in mortal peril at Slim's.

Lardy, do you know who's pulling the strings here? Or how to stop these zombies? I--

<swoops down to knock several zombies off some people>

I don't know how long we can keep this up. (I really hope Nova Girl comes soon... and maybe Tamper Lad if he can be more than useless.)

Ugh they're eating all the handbags at my favorite accessory store. All those cute little purses and belts ruined. Not to mention the shoes, all those beautiful shoes.

HEY ZOMBIE, those patent leather boots are for me, I find they attract boys like honey attracts ants.

<blasts a bunch of zombies with explosive force reclaiming a pair of size 7 boots>

Fear not Legionnaires! For though you are both the war-bringer of Legion World and the harlot of many gentleman callers, I shall come to your aid! For I have sworn to protect the unnamed citizens of the streets of Legion World with my powers of super-understanding of liberty!

<sees zombies roaming the streets of Legion World>

Much like the mindless consumers of a mass media and materialistic culture, these zombies seem bent on destroying all that is humane and worth living for!

I hope the current plan is to do more than destroy the only remnants of our deceased friends and comrades, my friends! I suggest taking the fight to the enemy!

I will now unleash the greatest antizombie weapon ever conceived. The OscarMayerMatic 5000 is a turnkey solution for all your undead needs. In one end the harvester literally vacuums zombies into the processing unit.

There the processing converts them to "hot dogs".


<The OscarMayerMatic whips into action, pulling zombies into its processing unit. Grinding and crushing sounds are heard as a stack of weiners begins to form at the tail end of machine.>

Did that monkey just call me a harlot? I'm married! Jerk. Even if he might have a point... I just don't know where the enemy is.

Also, ew, Tamper. No one wants your zombie dogs. Ick.

<makes two fire swords and begins slicing and dicing zombies>

Although, I guess the gross factor is relative. *shudders* If I wasn't so bad ass, I'd definitely be cowering like the nameless.

Ooh, Nova doll, those are some gorgeous shoes! They aren't eating all the size 9s are they? Try and save me something cute!

<blasts shenu into smithereens>

<fails to hear faint laughter echo after blast>

<looks around>

What?!?! The zombies are still attacking? I was sure that was the zombie master! They should be falling down!

<blasts another zombie>

<behind where it was are 11 boxes of expensive shoes>

Size nines? Excellent!

<takes them to Cali and puts them in her purse tesseract>

Hope you like these , darlin'! Don't worry--I'll put in a voucher with the shop owner!

<smiles and touches her cheek briefly>

Whoops! Here come more zombies!

<the two are now back-to-back surrounded by dozens of zombies>

Cali..<blasts two of them>..don't be offended...<blasts another three>...I just wanted you to know I really care about you. If you never...<blasts>...reciprocate, it's okay.<blasts one lunging for her> Just know...<blasts a quartet of them>...that I love you...<shields them both as a mob of them pile on>...and will always be there for you, even if...<expands shield outward suddenly pushing the mob back about 15 feet>...all you ever want is friendship.

<gasps, assesses situation and sees they're still surrounded>

Cali--set a fire around our circumference to keep them at bay! Then, we'll fly over and pick some off!

<faces her>

What do you think about that?

<looks in her eyes, his tone and gaze suggesting the question alludes to more than just the plan>

Wow, those are some serious boots. I-- I'm not sure I can accept them. But, so.. pretty... oh, I suppose I could keep them. But just this pair. And just this once.

<is quick to fire through a big group of zombies nearby>

Okay, I don't like them closing in on us. I don't like it ooooone bit.

<listens as Lardy bares his soul, distractedly firing on the zombies>

(Lo-loves me? But- but... he doesn't even know me. How can this be happening to me? Again? I'm married!)

Um.. uhm... fire? Yeah! I can, uh, do that. The plan sounds good.

<takes a few breaths as she sets the circumference aflame>

As for the rest... Lardy, I think you're a really nice guy. But I'm married now. And I love my husband. *puts a hand on his shoulder* I'll always cherish your friendship. *kisses his cheek*

Besides, you never know. There could very well be another girl out there for you. Have you met Amora the Enchantress..? I can introduce you after we finish zombie slaying if you like.

Man Cali, you pick up all the strays.

Careful you don't end up like one of those kooky old cat ladies but with icky dorky men instead of cats.

**Nova Girl points out a zombie coming towards them.**

Heads Up Cali. Awww look what's coming, Isn't that sweet.

**A Zombie bearing a bouquet of withered roses, a box of maggot infested chocolates, and a rusty ring approaches Cali and goes down on one knee as to profess his undying, and undead love for her. Nova Girl rolls her eyes.**

Seriously! Girl, what perfume are you using? Cuz y'know I think you should share. I'd like some lovin some time too.

**Nova Girl delivers a mighty kick to the zombie suitor decapitating it as it prostrates before Cali.**

That's for not CALLING me back.

**Looks at Cali, Shrugging sheepishly**

I dunno? He may have been a one night stand?

<holds Cali's hand a moment>

I know when to back off--and I definitely don't want to lose your friendship! But, at the same time, I had to let you know how I feel. Good luck with Actor...he's a lucky guy! <hugs her>

Amora, eh? Hmmm...she pretty hot! <grins>

<turns to Nova Girl>

"icky dorky", huh? Well, I'm not sure exactly what your relationship is with Tamper, but if there's any romantic tension there...well, good luck with that! <laughs>

<suddenly, a wave of zombies separates Lardy from Cali and Nova>

What the hell?!? It's like the zombies--!

<he's interrupted by a voice calling...>

"Anthony"

<turning around trepidatiously to the source, he sees not a rotting corpse speaking his name, but a beautiful, familiar blonde woman>

"My only love..."

<gasps>

Leelee?

<and there she is, his first love who was murdered by his worst enemy--the LMBer known as Dazzle Lass!>

Oh my god! You're alive!

"Yes, my love. I've come back for you. We are reunited at last, righting a most heinous wrong. Come to me."

<embraces her>

<if they weren't cut off from everyone, anyone else would see this is a shambling corpse he's embracing--he's been entranced!>

"My love...we will be together now...forever!"

Yes, oh yes...<tears flow from his eyes>

<slowly the Leelee zombie moves its mouth to his shoulder...in a matter of seconds it will bite him!>

<walking through the streets is the reanimated corpse of Bowels Bursting Boy! Immediately it sets its sights on Tamper Lad...>

OOC: Cobalt might not be there, but my knowledge of some of the more 'tawdry' dead LMBers won't stop me from putting you all in harm's way

Caaaaaaliiiiiiienteeeee....

*blasting buildings and normal citizens*

*missing, as fingers fall off*

<span style="font-size: 20px;">Arrrrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!</span>

<bitten and snapping out of it, Lardy pushes Leelee zombie away>

<'ports to the top of a nearby building>

Damn, I've been bitten! Don't know how long I can stave off infection with the Lard Force...gotta find Cobalt...

pop

Gaw this has become someone disturbing

*** Tamper Directs the OscarMayerMatic towards the animated cadaver of Bowel Bursting Boy***

Bwahaha Bowel Burst Boy your powers will be contained once you are ground up and encased in weiner casings.

**Tamper's smile turns into a frown as he realizes BBB's power is not only to burst bowels but also to nullify any intestinal like casing like the cellulose membrane which the OscarMayerMatic uses to make its zombie dogs...***

** The entire stack of zombie sausages made by the machine is consumed in the chain reaction as bits of cadaver litter the mean streets of Legion World **

Caliente looks at her galpal. "Nova, thanks for the save! And, darling, I'm sure you'd have just as many male suiters if you'd stop biting their heads off." She deadpans. "Literally, in some cases."

Nova Girl just shrugs. Cali continues to fight, slightly distracted by LardLad and the twit. She sees he's in trouble but before she can get to him, he's bitten.

"Lardy! Oh no, that Dazzle person bit him! And after he was so gentlemanly about the whole thing." Cali sighed. (Okay, so it was a tad awkward but whatever. He doesn't deserve to be a zombie for it!)

Frowning angrily, Caliente fries her.

"Crispy. Nice..."

Suddenly, Cali hears Lonestar Ranger's call. She slaps her forehead, feeling a mixture of relief and disappointment until she realizes he's a zombie, too. "Ahhh! Are you kidding me?!" she cries. "He's really dead?

"Wait," Cali's eyes widen, "but, that means Frio... God. Okay, no time to think about that. Focus." She cooks a zombie sneaking up behind Nova Girl. "If he's already dead, then I don't have to hold back."

A smile slowly spreads on her face. Cali sends fireballs through the zombies around her, giving herself a bit of space.

"Finally, I can do exactly what I've wanted to do since the day I met him!" Caliente holds her hands together, creating a giant fire-sword. Wielding it expertly, she slices Lonestar Ranger straight down the middle. "Ha!"

From the ground, both halves of Lonestar Ranger are still trying to move toward her and making incoherent noises. "Ew!" Cali sees the zombie dogs being burst. "Double ew! God, zombies. Whyyy?!"

*gurggle*

B-braaaaaaaaaaaaains....

*both sides split apart, go down seperate streets*

So the Empress DID kill him...

<Uses Magnetic Power to gather a vast array of metal containers, dumpsters, trash cans and similar objects and begins magnetically stuffing zombies into them...>

---------INCOMING MESSAGE---------
TO: Caliente, LMB Leader
FROM: Cobalt Kid, Chairman, Security Committee
RE: Problems

Cali, its Cobie. I'm at Slim's bar, and I can gladly say we've finally taken back Stoopid Cat, Pagan Lass and Space Tart. But Slim is on the loose, we believe in the streets of Legion World, plus one of Lardy's robots is acting funky and seems to be against us.

You're the leader now. Congrats. We'll all follow your lead. You should know I tried to talk to Frio. It...didn't go well. We seem to have problems everywhere. We'll all be joining you in the streets shortly.

Cobie out.

----------END MESSAGE-----------------

The minions of Shenu bring hell to Legion World. The hour grows closer for our gathering, as the five faces of death will destroy our most hated enemies, leaving this planet to be ours for the taking. Once more I shall bring my rule to Legion World, and each one of us shall have what we desire.

<using Lightning Lad's lightning, blasts citizens below>

It is too late for them now. Already we've made gains they would have never considered.

< Out of the shambles of Slim\'s Bar, Cobalt Kid enters the streets of Legion World to see zombies everywhere>

Bloody Liberty! There are more than I thought. And Slim is out here somewhere...

<grabs Space Tart again>

Everyone stay close. Flyers, take to the air, but not too high. We need to find Caliente and the rest of the LMB.

Everyday Girl--make sure My Whee Fem is okay. She's going all tough guy on us, but you saw all those creeps that she battled.

You too Lardy. That zombie bite is healed, but you can't tell me it didn't take a lot out of you. We can talk more about the robots later.

And Abin, pull yourself together! We've got Pagan and Stoopid Cat now. They should be okay.

Rex, I think we're going to need your power...

<moves forward>

Ugh, this is definitely what you call going nowhere fast... Shenu must still be out there. No way can these corpses be animated without him.

<spots Cobalt Kid & Co. and rushes over>

Cobie! Britney! I got your message but we've seen no signs of Slim or anyone else for that matter. Just zombies. Lots of zombies. We've managed to clear the streets of most of the civilians, though there's always a few fanatics.

Lardy, I'm so glad you're all right. *hugs him quickly* But there's more zombies than ever, so be careful. We don't want you turning undead on us... And Abin, it's good to see your family safe at last.

<takes Cobie aside quickly, frying a few zombies that come too closer>

Cobie, listen... I don't know what I'm doing here! I'm no leader-- not yet! I can understand a trial by fire but this is... *shakes head* Too much. Way too much. And Frio-- agg!

You're the one with the experience here, so I really hope you have a plan. Suggestion. Anything. Otherwise we might have to listen to Tamper Lad and who wants that?

From further into the fray comes a cry of, "Not me!" that sounds suspiciously like Nova Girl.

Oh, you're a leader Cali. Baptism of 'fire' suits you. But I'll gladly lend a hand.

I suggest we regroup somewhere, and soon. The citizens are clearing the streets and a strong amount of LMBers are holding off the zombies to the East End. Then you can call the roll, and get us on the offense, and maybe we can start figuring out what's going on here. Too many threats at once--it must be part of a larger plan.

Other than that, I have some ideas of what's happening and I'll share them all with you. Also, I believe we can trust Rex Veridian, and frankly, we can use his power considering so many LMBers are off-world. So I'll follow your lead...

(AKA - if you want, create a new thread for an LMB meeting! )

Have no fear, Caliente. You may be new to the leadership position, but you are not alone.

< Looks over at Cobalt Kid >

Cobie dear, you have a little Tart on your shoulder.

Oh, thanks!

<hands Spacey off to the Security Office field medics>

Put her with Pagan and Stoopid Cat, but not at the Security Office, rather, Medicus Two. The streets aren't safe, but we seem to be okay on this side of town.

<walks back over to LMBers>

I had to save her, Crujeckie. I'm sure you understand. <looks uncomfortable>

We'll follow Cali's lead, but we can both help her by keeping everyone else in line.

<puts arm around Crujectra>

We seem to be the only two LMBers left not covered in zombie. Too bad we don't have a few moments to spare...
