«Screw it, we'll start. Hopefully more people will show.»

The team is just starting a training exercise. The simulation is a normal house, two stories, three bedroom. The winner is the last man, or woman, standing.

Mimic comes over the intercom; "You guys can start when you're ready."

Moira makes a mad dash for one of the doors. If she gets there before anyone, she 'ports herself to the most isolated room in the house.


Re: New Mutants West #5 - Time to Become Heroes
Post by Protoman on Jun 8, 2007, 11:11pm

Moira makes it to the house and into the attic since no one else has moved.

"Finally, a trainer that doesn't suck balls." Tom transforms immediately. He tears a wall up off the floor, and begins swinging it wildly, trying to knock down the house.


Re: New Mutants West #5 - Time to Become Heroes
Post by Moira Belle "Deadbolt" Birch on Jun 8, 2007, 11:11pm

Moira immediately "locks" the door behind her.

I watch as Tom begins demolishing the house from a relatively safe distance.

Tom's blows are taking out support beams in his general area. Moira can feel the house shaking below her.

Moira crouches near the attic door. The moment she feels the house start to come apart more, she'll port herself to the outside of the front door.

Gleefully wrecking the joint, Tom is unable to hear Nick and Bryan plotting against him.

Tom's continued smashing actually takes out the front door.

Moira gets out successfully and is in the backyard.

Moira runs to the shed, trying to remain as inconspicuous as possible. Once in, she "locks" the door.

Post by Rapt "Roc"/Fragment/Fraternity on Jun 8, 2007, 11:22pm

Bryan moves up to, and behind Tank, to get within range to be able to adjust the brittleness of the bludgeon, right around where Tank is gripping it, so it shatters on the next hit.

With the next shot, Tank's wall turns into splinters.

"Feh. Just like everything else in this dump."

He stops smashing temporarily, as he's gotten a bit of dust in his eyes from the shattered wall.

Ox enters the house, making his way to the stairs.

Glancing about and seeing nothing, he breaks off a part of the banister, shifting it into what looks like a gun made half out of wood.

"Alright, come and get me. I don't know what this thing is, but it doesn't look pleasant."


Re: New Mutants West #5 - Time to Become Heroes
Post by Protoman on Jun 8, 2007, 11:24pm

Moira's in the shed.

Mimic explains the idea to Baby.

Bryan's plan works and Tom's "bat" shatters on impact, however…so does part of the house. The entire left side of the house collapses. YAY lopsided house!

Ox is okay, as the stairs are on the right side.


Re: New Mutants West #5 - Time to Become Heroes

"Well, no time like the present."

Taking out my dull knife, I run toward Tom, aiming for a line right across his chest, that would leave quite a gash if I get it.


Re: New Mutants West #5 - Time to Become Heroes
Post by Dreadnought on Jun 8, 2007, 11:27pm

Tank doesn't like Baby. He makes no attempt to hide this, as he makes an attempt to use her gravitational pull to throw his entire body at her. He normally can't move very quickly, he's thinking her pull will give him a nice little starting push.


Re: New Mutants West #5 - Time to Become Heroes
Post by Protoman on Jun 8, 2007, 11:27pm

Nick succeeds as Tom has stopped flailing around. A large gash opens on Tom's chest. Along with that Tom can feel his arms and legs being pulled towards Baby.


Re: New Mutants West #5 - Time to Become Heroes
Post by Moira Belle "Deadbolt" Birch on Jun 8, 2007, 11:27pm

Just stay in the shed, just stay in the shed, just try and outsmart the dimwits on your team and it will be okay. If this fails, fall upon your grace, beauty and the ability to twist boys around your finger. But until then, stay in the shed.


Re: New Mutants West #5 - Time to Become Heroes
Post by Protoman on Jun 8, 2007, 11:28pm

And now Tom is pulled directly at Baby, smashing into her.


Re: New Mutants West #5 - Time to Become Heroes
Post by Dreadnought on Jun 8, 2007, 11:30pm

"OW! This game sucks. Screw you guys, I'm going home."

Absent mindedly holding the gash on his chest (He's made of rock, so I'm thinking he gets cut like The Thing. It isn't bleeding or any thing, but it's still pretty unpleasant.), Tom lumbers away.

Tom's the first one out due to teamwork.


Re: New Mutants West #5 - Time to Become Heroes
Post by Protoman on Jun 8, 2007, 11:31pm

Baby is on the ground where Tom bowled her over.

Tom is directed to stand/sit off to the side. His gash heals and he is officially out.


Re: New Mutants West #5 - Time to Become Heroes
Post by Moira Belle "Deadbolt" Birch on Jun 8, 2007, 11:31pm

Yes, just let them fight it out amongst themselves and then you can be theA BUG!

Moira dashes out of the shed, brushing away cobwebs and screaming.

There is a flash of light that covers the entire room, the simulation suddenly fades. Standing in the middle of the room is an older black man. He has a katana on his back.

"Are you the New Mutants West?" He asks, looking at each person individually.

He looks confused.

"Brotherhood West Division…"

He glances down at a plam pilot like device in his hand.

"This is supposed to be right place."

As Tom walks in, he smiles.

"TOM! Okay, so this is the right place. Tom always said you were a bunch of ass holes. Where's Mimic?"

The best part about Last Man Standing? Really, the simplest course of action is just to hang back and let everyone else beat up on themselves. Which is what I've been doing.

I was about to intervene when Baby started to really lay into Nick, but then this…guy. With a sword. Big black guy with a sword…I'd say Blade, but he seems too cheerful. I walk over and join the group, gently rubbing Nick's wounded area and seeing what happens next.

Moira still stands, shocked by the attack on Dillon and his presumable (or eventual) death. Her mouth works soundlessly.

As the team turns to see who fired the shots they see an older white man. The man has short black hair, and is wearing black sunglasses and a black trenchcoat.

He walks towards Dillon, Baby's pant leg sets on fire to stop her from interfering with the katana. He stops in front of Dillon.

"Dillon, Dillon, Dillon…I thought you of all people would have known not to fuck with time. Chthon has to rise to power, it's fate."

Dillon stares up at the man, shocked. "…Lex…I trusted you, you were ALWAYS loyal."

"That was your mistake, Drummond. Think about the odds, there had to be one reality where I wasn't loyal to you." Lex fires the gun again, putting a bullet in Dillon's head. Dillon slumps to the floor, obviously dead.

Lex turns to the New Mutants West. "Don't fight it, don't even try. Let Chthon rise to power unobstructed. You'll all be fine, slaves, but fine."

Lex vanishes in a flash of light, leaving Dillon's corpse on the floor.

As they reach the top of the stairs they see what can only be described as hell on Earth. The school is already up in flames. There are demon kittens wandering around and humanoid demons flying around, the humanoid ones have swords. Nothing seems to have noticed them…yet.

The kittens all fall through the floor, but the warriors all have wings. They take flight and continue their approach. Five get close enough to swing their swords. One connects with Bryan's forearm, slashing it open.

As they reach the doorway to Ox's room, it's blocked by Mimic's bloody heap of a body. He's breathing, barely. They can see a demon inside the room, near the portal. He's holding a spellbook and he's surrounded by sword bearing demon warriors.

Luckily Moira's wound is messing with her powers, otherwise Chthon would have been released much quicker.

The confetti gun distracts him for a moment. He looks up and blasts Ox through a wall.

Upon seeing his face, this is the Demon Abby saw in mission 1. The same one that killed Sadie.

"NOW TO COMPLETE THE INCANTATION!"

The demon goes to turn the page…and the book crumbles in his hands.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The two mighty arms of Chthon along with every other demon in the school are immediately sucked back into the portal. The only one remaining is the spellcaster….the portal seals before he can step inside.

"Oh, sorry, Nick." I smile, a bit sheepish. "He was just kind of getting on my nerves, all…my power's not as offensive as the rest of you guys, so I have to make due, you know?"

The demon glares up at Abby before creating the same type of blast he did against Ox, this time firing at himself. He is suddenly on fire, and melts to nothingness.

Tom obliviously rummages through some cabinets, looking for one of Paige or Abby's stashes.
