(Disaster Boy walks into view, hood up, late for the party as usual but, just in time )

"Metternich i will remove the atmosphere from this planet and erupt its core before i let you have it."

"winds"

(gale force winds annd sleet nullify the front lines of dominators)

"now Prime Soldiers, I have a few tricks for you"

<Lard Lad appears directly in Metternich's path.>

"Howdy!" he says jovially. "I'm here to see just how deadly the Oval is...and to show you exactly what you're facing when you decide to take on Legion World!!"

<Purple energy emmanates from Lardy's eyes and hands, and he charges Metternich full-on.>

<Metternich is unable to connect his blades to him and is sent flying beyond the battle area.>

"Metternich!" Lardy shouts as he 'ports in front of where the Magistrate ladded. "This ends here, just me and you--man to...whatever the Hells you are!"

<And Lard Lad charges again....>

<SMBers Infra-Red Lass and Polka Dot Kid repel Dominator forces while other Dominators exhaust themselves trying to budge High-Denisty Kid.>

<Dedman walks right in front of fifty Prime Soldiers>

Dedman: Oh, Prime Soldiers, whatever shall I do?

<Prime Soldiers all proceed to "destroy" Dedman>
Rockhopper Lad and Lass: FREEZE!

<All the Prime Soldiers are frozen solid as Dedman re-integrates himself>

Rockhopper Lad: Good work! Keep it up, folks! We just might do this!

(four Prime Soldiers run at super speed towards DB)

" door "

(four black doors open in front of each Prime Soldier)

"let me know how the center of a red sun is boys. I do love these gadgets from the future"

(waves left hand as the floor ripples and trips up more Prime Soldiers)

Through Telepathic Earplugs:
[Lardy, I have a plan for Metternich but, i can't keep ahead of these Primes all day]

[telepathic link to DB] Little <unnngh> busy here...<owww> What do you <unf> have in mind?[/telepathic link]

<Dominators start firing off biological gass>

<Unseen by any, Metternich cuts off the head of Pinnacle Command, making the Magistrate the sole commanding Dark Oval officer on Legion World.>

Send in the Dominator forces first and use up our biological weapons. The damage alone will be worthy of the Dark Oval.

<uses Durlan abilities to slip around unnoticed>

Surely the Legion must have realized that as a Durlan, I'm quite the different diplomat for the Dark Oval! The Dark Oval has Dominators, Hrykosian thugs, cultists...but no Durlans. No, no...I'm a special diplomat, void of any humanity but full of incredible powers.

I am Durlan in all ways, but better. I am the Dominators favored creation, for I too have the powers of Superboy Prime. And Reboot. And Cobalt Kid. And Varalent, Spellbinder, LardLad, Disaster Boy and all the rest! For I can not only mimic any power, I can recreate it. I am a Composite Durlan, and I have been on Legion World absorbing every power for weeks...

<Liberty Monkey hops into the sickbay, past Seth Gaterra and towards Whordru>

Up Seth! The time is now! Your memories are jumbled and your strength is low, but we need all the help we can get!

<moves towards Whordru>

Noble Ambassador! I urge you to assist me, for only you can help us return our own noble ambassador! Tell me--what do you know of the Therod Protocols? Speak quickly, as the life of Faraway Lad may depend on it!

Crap! The bastard slithered away from me!

He's got all our powers? Well, I'm sure he can't use the Lard Force like I can!!!


<'ports back to LMBP Plaza, looking for Metternich>

(moving as quickly as possible DB claps hands!)

" Tornado "

(a spiral of wind grabs up the biological gas and dissapates it)

"lets see Metternich"

(DB's eyes glow red)

"one radiation storm and no more durlan powers"

(Metternich glows bright red for a minute)

Metternich: ARRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!

<arrives next to DB>

Good idea, DB! I've heard about that working with other Durlans to wipe out their shapeshifting abilities. Hope his other powers don't nullify it, somehow.

If they do <hands glow with purple energy>, you and I will give him a fight!

(Metternich slumps on the ground glowing in radiation)

"Powers don't make legionaires Metternich"

Through telepathic earplugs: [LardLad, it can't be this easy but it did hurt him]

<uses Reboot's rebooting to heal Durlan abilities>

At last, I'll bloody my hands in battle...

<uses Outdoor Miner's powers to teleport body away from battle>

<uses Spellbinder's telepathy to blast the minds of Disaster Boy and LardLad with an intense blast.>

Ah, it appears you both had parental issues growing up. Not sure who mommy and daddy are? Hahaha!

<uses Cobalt Kid's magnetism to hurl fallen debris on top of them both>

This battle will not be over that quickly Legionnaires!

<uses Superboy Prime's powers to use heat vision on own troopers and various citizens of Legion World>

<uses Durlan powers to become undetectable suddenly>

Yes it did. [No need to communicate telepathically anymore--I'm right beside you! ]
Keep pouring it on, DB...Don't let up!

Crap! He's up! Arrrggghh! <feels psionic and magnetic assaults>

Ungh! Now, where is he? <reaches out with Lard Force to try to detect Metternich>

(psychic attack slows DBand he is caught under debris)

"bloody hell!"

"Mother Box, where is he?"

Mother Box speaks from DB's arm : [12 o clock]

"HA" (DB throws arm out....as electricity burns through Metternich to little effect,

....except for lighting him up for all to see)

<while reaching out for Metternich, Lardy detects something even more alarming>

HOLY SPROCK! NUKES! THEY'RE DROPPING NUKES ABOVE THE PLAZA!!

DB, find Metternich---I'll take care of the nukes!

<'ports away>

Seth, while not as fast as he might like due to the half-healed injuries, still answers Liberty Monkey's call to arms. The energy burst from under the rubble gets his attention first as he approaches the plaza, and he hurries over to assist whoever's under it.

"Considering how many times these invaders drop walls on people, most likely it's someone on my side beneath this!" Seth thinks to himself. He hears the shout about nukes -- but with no flight capacity of his own, it's not like Seth could intercept them?

<appears on top of the Medical Center>

Crap! Here they come! Oh God..thirty of them--all headed for the Plaza! And--SPROCK--they're resisting all the spells and powers being used against them--even Reboot's!

Gotta open a portal to the Lard Force dimension--a BIG one!

Uuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnngggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

<strains to create a portal two miles above LMBP Plaza that is itself several square miles around.>

<The portal creates a vortex that draws all thirty bombs into it.>

Now...aaaaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh...gotta close it!

<The portal shudders for a moment, then closes.>

...d-did it...

<Lard Lad falls unconscious atop the Medical Center.>

[a little weak from Cobalt's revival spell and from an unexplainable sense of loss]

Yes--yes, monkey...I'm familiar with them. I tried to use them once at the Embassy but was unsuccessful. What--what is it you require of me?

(gets up, dusts himself off)

"heh heh. Just me and you Metternich"

(menacingly pulls out a golden batton from behind his back)

<Rockhopper Lad and the SMBers continue their part of the fight>

RhLad: That's it! That's the last of the Prime Soldiers!

RhLass: Thank Dywh! I don't think I could freeze one more thing.

Polka Dot Kid: I think that's all of everyone!

RhLad: Except for Disaster Boy and Metternich--and what's going on in orbit--and the prisoners! Openly Gay Lad!

<still unconscious>

<waaaaaaay unconscious!>

"Re-Bot calling Reboot. Re-Bot calling Reboot. Come in."

"Yes?"

*Re-Bot explains that Metternich has copied the powers of the Re-Bots he captured before*

*Reboot laughs, loudly*

(fires Mega Rod at Metternich, Metternich dodges but DB finally gets lucky and hits Metternich square in the chest knocking him down)

i think that limerick slowed him down?

<Rockhopper Lad, Rockhopper Lass and Infra-Red Lass return to the erstwhile Dark Oval HQ, now rubble>

RhLad: Oh no! Look at the place! I hope we're not too late.

RhLass: Everything's so quiet--What's that there?

IRL: It looks like people!

<They find Midnight Son, Alternative Boy and the Earth-4 Monkey-Eater Lad [the SMBer], alive, but unconscious>

RhLass: They need medical attention.

RhLad: Infra, call the medics. Where's...

<Openly Gay Lad exits the rubble of the building, carrying the limp body of Cobalt Kid's original Supergirl robot.>

OGL:Rocky!

RhLad: Blaine!

<OGL lays the robot on the ground>

OGL {staggers}: They're all gonna be okay. <They kiss>

RhLad: Oh, baby, I was so worried about you! We--were here, but we got called away to fight the Prime soldiers.


OGL {gasping}: You saved the world. That's the important thing.

RhLad: But how about you? What can we do for you?

OGL {breathing heavily}: Baby, there was nothing you could have done. They had us in a chamber that neutralized our powers. If you'd tried to break us out, we'd have all been killed. When the building collapsed, the power went out and so did the chamber. Once I got my powers back, it took everything I had left to get them all out. They're's nothing left.

Rh Lad: No, sweetheart, you'll be fine.

OGL {coughs}: Always on the bright side. That's another reason I love you so much.

Rh Lad: No!

OGL {turns to IRL}: Infra, I'm so glad you and all the other SMBers have been a part of my life. You're the first family I ever had.

<IRL begins to cry, Rh Lass holds her>

OGL {barely audible, collapses in RhLad's arms}: Eudyptes, Rocky, I love you. I love you more than I ever thought I could love anyone.

Rh Lad: And I love you, too, Blaine.

<They kiss again>

OGL: Remember...I...love...you!

<OGL dies in RhLad's arms>

Rh Lad: SQUAAAAAAWK!!!
