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

Furball is running at top speed through the streets, following his instincts.

"LOLITA! Cobie needs you! Legion World needs you!"

{flying overhead, Hot Chick does her best to destroy swarms with her light powers}

{thinks} By the Eternal Void! Of all of the threats for the Dark Oval to drop on Legion World, they choose the Red Bee? Out of all the terrorists are weapons of mass destruction they could have deployed, using him is the cruelest act imaginable! {incinerates another swarm} Why, had I succeeded in unleashing the Great Plague a couple of years ago on Legion World, it would have put it out of its misery rather quickly by comparison!

{smiles} Ah, Kalla, you've transitioned from a zealot to an opportunist in such a short time... {more bees are incinerated}

"Damned bees are getting thicker. Thank the gods I have tough skin. Still hurt like hell though."

Sees Hot Chick flying above him a few blocks away.

"HEY! Don't suppose you want to help a guy out here?"

{spots Furball flagging her down}

{flies over to him}

Well, hello, handsome! Need a lift?

"Sure enough beautiful. I need to find Lolita...we need her to deal with this problem. Any ideas?"

{thinks} I do not know much about this "Lolita". However...the Chief told your brother that she "hangs" out in the establishment called "Cramer's" quite a bit. Should we check there?

"Good a place as any. Gods, I hope they haven't hit Cramers already..."

Let's go, then! {grabs him under the armpits and they fly to Cramer's}

< Power Boy fights in the skies above Legion World ...

seeming to be everywhere at once, smashing through the tide, and incinerating huge swarms with his lazer vision >

<after dispatching a large cloud --- > "Let's see how much time I can buy the others ... "

<With a Roar he plumets into the next swarm>

Dev is searching Legion World for Power Boy. Seein ghim fighting another swarm of bees, and realizing more and more no matter what they do they are hopelessly outmanned for what is happening, flies down and grabs hum from the street.

"Don't fight me, and keep blasting away. I need to get you to Cobie and Lardy. Not sure if you can help, but you said something earlier about sensing where things were not that might be some help in finding Red Bee."

Red Arrow was busy today aiding local police in investigations. There were at least five bank robberies today, and all of them were being carried off by super-powered beings. When they stopped for lunch, she couldn't help but overhearing some people say they felt sympathy for the bank robbers. "This government deserves everything they get," she heard one man say.

"There's a hostage situation at the bank at 1873 Chestnut street. The suspect is a hot," The police officer said, the word "hot" used to describe superpowered beings. Red Arrow and the officer arrived at the scene. There was five bank employees and four customers being held hostage. A bank employee had put marked bills in when the thief told her not to, which created a big problem.

Red Arrow asks, "Do we have the authority to enter this situation?"

"Yes, as a Fed you can enter," The police officer affirmed. Red Arrow used the intangibility equation and entered slowly through a side wall. One of the thugs was scared and dropped his weapon, only to be laughed at by another member.

"Why isn't it my old friend?" A masked thief smiled. Red Arrow ignored the taunt and reconstituted herself. "Please surrender now," She said.

"Fed, we are not murderers. We just want money like everyone else in this universe. But not getting caught at all is better than being charged with theft," The leader said, levitating as he spoke to her.

"And even though you have a cool superpower, these folks aren't as fortunate. See my friends here have fire, ice, and other cool powers that could kill them," He explained further. Unfortunately, by the time he finished explaining that Red Arrow was already on the move. She used a flash arrow to distract thieves, while she took two of the hostages out.

Red Arrow felt sad that the thieves decided to make a hole in the ceiling and escape with the money, but the police officers assured her she did a good job. "None of the hostages were harmed," The police officer said.

***Memo for Question Lad***

Sebastian, I am sorry I have not been able to get back to you sooner, but I have been in meetings wwith the King of Daroon for several hours.

The government has been made awware of my delay and are in the process of taking the necessary steps to insure the dsafety of Legion World at this time.

Take care Sebastion and good luck.

***End Memo***

"It is good to visit Legion World. I have heard rumors of this place, but our Sector is pretty far from the United Planets. Now, it appears that Abin Quank is attending to other affairs. However, I have alerted my superiors and hopefully he will come shorty," Korma Suu of Korugar said. They were sitting in the lobby of the Virgil Hotel, which was currently doubling as a sort of embassy.

Question Lad looked down at his folded hands, "That is alright by me. We can discuss..."

An alert went out on the office. Apparently there was something going on at the LWIRS building.

Korma asked, "Why is the dot so close to our location?"

"It's right next door," He explained as they exited into the street. Question Lad and Korma Suu began talking to the police, who said it was a strange occurance. However, those inside were not taking hostages. They were looking for one person, and they intended to kill he or she.

Question Lad asked, "Do we have footage?" The officer in charge said they were having problems getting through government security, so Question Lad solved that problem and they got footage.

Question Lad and Korma Suu looked at the footage, and then at eachother in shock. "A Thunderer of Qward?!?"

The officer asked, "What is a Thunderer?"

"A Thunderer of Qward is from the Anti-Matter Universe," Question Lad said. There were still vacant expressions. "Most children in Sector 1417 grow up listening to Tales of the Green Lantern Corps*. But we need to get in their fast, if they are going to Qward it will be too late..."
*= Alan Moore worked on Green Lantern if you didn't know, so it ties in perfectly.

Korma Suu was already placing a forcefield bubble around Question Lad. She tried to mantain a straight expression as they ascended upon the roof. When they arrived inside the Thunderers had already killed two of the workers.

"The ring, fools! We want the Yellow Power Ring," one of the Thunderers said.They were trying to decide which of the workers looked the most like a photograph they posessed, and were killing the unlikely candidates.

They immediatley began firing on Korma Suu, who placed hard-light ropes around the hands of the Thunderers. Question Lad had hacked into everything and began directing the employees out while she battled with the Thunderers. Something else else caught his eye in the closet.

He opened the door slowly and a man was inside. This man stayed on the floor, and it looked like he was begging for mercy.

"Agent of Qward...take the ring but not my life," The man said. The ring flew out of his hands and appeared before Question Lad. He held it out to him but Question Lad said, "That is not a Yellow Power Ring. That's a diamond ring."

"I...I..." The man shook his head. "I lost the Yellow Power Ring a long time ago."

Korma Suu reappeared before Question Lad, and stared down at the man. She said, "It is over. What are you afraid of, Qwardian?"

"He's one of their agents, isn't he? Afterall, he is wearing yellow," He said.

"Pick something from the catalogue," Red Arrow said.

"I think it's time to be alittle more friendly," He smiled and pointed to a picture. "I would like something like that"
