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

<appears in the sky above the city streets>

<voice magically amplified for all to hear>

<span style="font-size: 99px;">MYLA!!!</span>

<span style="font-size: 25px;">Where are you, my wife? Come to me, to your beloved husband, that we may at last reunite!</span>

Keep it down!

some of us are trying to hide...

<hears Legolas with magically enhanced senses>

Who was that? I...sense Zardi's stench upon him!

<reaches out with magic trying to locate Legolas>

There! I sense him!

<disappears>

Death Bringer and Corpse Taker


The scents of two prizes... the elf and the shade of Lardi...

The Master will be pleased.

(the animated life-sized cloth cut-out of Legolas elusively darts down the street, at the farthest reaches for Death Bringer and Corpse Taker's senses. By the time they reach the place they believe they saw Legolas, the cutout has ascended the facade of the Psionian Embassy, and it waves at them from a great distance. Onward it leads them across the crepuscular shadowscape that is Legionopolis after the working day has clocked out)

Curley


Larry


and Moe


<Larry, the Djinn, whisks the three to the top of the Psionian Embassy where they are waiting for Legolas as he hoists himself onto the roof>

Moe: Okay elf, yer trapped... Give it up.

Curley: That's Right, Yeah...

Larry (the only one of the three that has realized that the figure in front of them is definately NOT Legolas): Oh Sugar...

Hm, the streets of Legion World have been rather tame lately. Perhaps we did too good a job cleaning them up a few months ago.

Perhaps it's time the Inter-Galactic Space Circus came to Legion World?

<sees teenagers hanging around the streets>

Move aside sentients! Do you not have jobs to attend to? Educations to be cultivated? This loitering by the youth of Legion World is fast becoming a problem that must be dealt with!

<approaches teens, who scurry away>

I found the moral decay among Legion World’s citizenry is growing everyday, festering like a boil, much like Chief Lardy explained to me. It is a shame that, I, who have worked so hard to find a place on Legion World, must now be confronted by those who take it for granted. Yet for all the change we try to make, there is so much resistance…

<looks at face, which is mirrored by a puddle from a recent rain>

…like my own face…which continues to scar no matter how many times I heal myself. The brutal scars given to me by the Dark Lard during Thyme Crime will not seem to go away. It seems I will be scarred terribly, much like I was in my earlier life. As if…all the changes I’ve tried to make for myself have been for naught.

No…I cannot think that. I have to stay strong…have to focus…

…focus on Legion World…

<moves on, seeing an illegally parked cruiser>

You, sentient! Move this cruiser immediately or face my wrath!

Okay, If I was Ram Boy's Leadership Office where would I be?

My are you listening? Ram Boy is the LMBP Leader! Where is his fracking office?!?!

Okay Spacey, I took care of it!

These streets ARE becoming untamed. I can't even loiter in peace anymore ... and why's that girl so damn plucky.

*below the streets in the sewers of Legion World, Cobalt Kid, Exnihil and Question Kid emerge following a secret path out of Cobie\'s - Exclusive Midnight Lounge*

Well gents, Furball gave us a way out and we did it. He should be joining us shortly.

The question is: where to next? This is the most dangerous place we can be and security is crawling everywhere. We need to make our way topside and head to our next location--it isn't too far from here.

And then we can find out who was smuggled to Legion World...and why?

Furball moves throughthe sewers of Legion World until he fets to the ladder he needs. Climbing up it, he pops the cover silently and replaces it as silently as he can. He moves to the shadows out of sight.

Above him, Dev flies by scanning the sewers.

"Predictable brother...too predictable."

Furball waits forr a few seconds and then runs ro the corner and turns to find his friends waiting for him.

Cobie looks at him, "little close to the action, isn't it?"

"Maybe, but the last place they're gonna look is right next to where they are...they're gonna figure I threw Lardy in the opposite direction to buy us time...not that I threw him right where we were headed. Besides, they've split up...Dev is searching for us, and Lardy is probably going to get more help. It buys us a little time. Where too next?"

hmmm my 'spider sense' is tingling.

< standing on a manhole when he feels it shake under his feat >

wha ... !! Guess that was just the floor tingling.


< whips out his mega rod, ready for action >


< ...... sees Cobalt Kid, Furball, Ex and others climbing up onto the street>


What have you guys got yourselves into this time? I nearly blasted you ....

"eh ... I never thought to ask what the name was"


"But let me assure you, you are in the thick of the 'untamed'. Main street untamed if you will. I like to hang out here sometimes on the weekends 'cause I'm from Apokolips ... reminds me of home. "


"Do you need a ride home?"

Good to see you, PB. We're trying to be incognito--seems it's getting tougher to conduct business unimpeded by the Security Office these days.

So we'd appreciate if you'd keep seeing us a secret. Unless you'd like to join in? I can promise adventure, running from police and very likely booze and sensual misunderstandings. It's been awhile since you've had a good adventure on Legion World.

We're sticking to the dodgy sections as we make our way to our next destination.

<not far off, Sir Roy again begins his day yelling at teenagers to go home after a night of debauchery and drinking; he begins making his way toward the LMBPers on the run>

Power Boy again? He seems to enjoy loittering!

Citizen! Wait there! Who are you talking to?

Great...this will be trouble. Sir Roy has bought into Lardy's recent speeches more than anyone.

Let him get close. If he sees us we'll have to resort to action.

<it's too late, however, Sir Roy has now seen them>

Halt where you are! Nobody make a move!

Outrageous that you think you can walk around the streets when three of you are wanted. Cobalt Kid, Furball, Exnihil, I am placing you under arrest.

I'm afraid the tables have turned. No one person is above the law, former Security Chief.

<pulls saber from it's sheath>

Come along quietly and this will be much easier.

<Cobalt's smiling face suddenly changes in front of them all, transforming into a cold, almost mean stare>

I'm not going to let you arrest us today, Inquisitor.

<magnetically yanks Roy's saber away, sending it hurling down the alley>

Let me be clear: many of my fellow LMBers believe you deserve a second chance on Legion World. I do not.

I witnessed you murder a sentient right in front of my eyes. To me, you will always be a murderous piece of garbage to be taken down like all the other infiltrators on Legion World. So walk around with your badge and take comfort in your authority all you want; I will not recognize it.

Once before, long ago, you tried to act as the security of Legion World. And with Fat Cramer, I gave you a beating I know you haven't forgotten.

Now stand down, or get it again.

<Roy is stunned by the words, which rip deep into his soul>

H-How dare you? You arrogant, contemptuous knave. You think you answer to nothing but yourself, but you are wrong.

I will arrest you all, or die trying!

<Roy gets into fighting position; after being unnerved however it triggers a physical change to him, causing the artificial treatment for his burned face to one more stop working, and his face slowly begins returning to it's scarred form>

Stand down, villains!

Furball looks from Cobie to Roy.

"Don't do this Roy...you have no chance against us and you have to know that."

He crouches ready to move at Cobies signal...hoping that this can be avoided.

"We need to do something fast boss, we're too exposed right now and the longer we're in one spot...the worse it is."

<magnetically, the saber comes flying back up the alley, cracking Roy in the back of the head, buffaloing him and knocking him out cold>

There, that will be us some time, he'll be out for hours. I'll move his body over here where he won't be found. We can't waste much more time and have to keep moving.

<with Power Boy now in tow, they continue to slip through the back streets...>
