Turn 121
Take a long nap. I deserve it
(2) You lie there in the mud, unconscious or asleep, its hard to tell, and dream of nothing in particular.
Hmm. Let's see what I can make with this fire. First, a simple rabbit. Then, some fireworks-type displays. Then, the phrases SOS, LOL, and ROFL. Then, to top it all off, a Chinese Dragon that will fly a mile inland, and explode with the force of a particularly powerful bomb.
(5+1=6) You make a rabbit in the sky with your fire, and then write some short messages, which all works out quite well. Then you feel like it is time for the grand finale, something intricate and complicated that will be absolutely dazzling. So you summon up all the strength you have within you, forcing the flames to take a serpentine shape, and suddenly a large dragon flies across the sky, probably scaring the crap out of everybody in town, except for Chinese people who will see it as a sign of good fortunes. When the fiery dragon has flown around for a little while you make it zoom inland and explode,
(2) and explode it does, quite violently, shattering windows in the general area and raining down balls of fire on the buildings, some of which catch on fire.
I go back and take the invisible woman to a room and try to grow her shoulder around a sturdy piece of furniture.
(5) Since she can't do much you just walk up to her and start dragging her by the arms around the sewers, looking for someplace to hide that isn't waist-deep in sewage. It doesn't take you all that long to find a satisfactory place, an almost identical room to the one you were in before, sans the bashed-down door. Now that you've found a good place to hide you put her down against a sturdy metal pipe and get to work on restraining her,
(5+1=6) and under your direction her shoulder starts to twist around the metal pipe, flesh tearing and mending again as you force her body to grow around it. Soon her entire right arm is intermingled with the pipe, to such a degree that you doubt it would be possible to separate the two.
I slowly take of the bandages and practice reflexively bending bullets back the way they came.
(2) You slowly remove the bandages, at first having to squint against the light, but soon getting back to the blur you had before your head was wrapped, which still doesn't let you see very much. Determined to learn how to send bullets flying back at the people who shot them you head out, trying to find someone willing to help you train this, but failing to locate anyone at all.
I will jump on the helicopters oversized ammunition as it speeds towards me, and use it to get high enough to jump into one of the helicopters cockpits. When there, I shall kill the pilot and ride the helicopter back to base, shooting enemies such as the other helicopter along the way.
(1+1+1=3) You run back to where you found the helicopters, but they're not there anymore, in fact you can't find any soldiers nearby, which strikes you as odd, where could they all have gone? Having no apparent answers on hand you just run around aimlessly in search of another helicopter, but find none.
I tell Alea to go outside and get Blarney and Zach out of the tentacle field,she probably has some experience with tentacles. 0P
I in the meanwhile scrounge up a camera.
(3) She smiles at you and says “Of course, master”, her voice like honey, though you suspect that there is a fair dose of poison in it too. Having ordered her what to do you get back to trying to find a camera, searching all throughout the fortress but finding none, though in retrospect you aren't sure why you thought there would be a camera here. If you want to find one you'll have to go out and find a store that sells them.
*Escape from the tentacle field in a (hopefully) impressive display of strength/agility.*
(2+1-1=2) You start twisting like crazy, trying to get free from the grasp of the tentacles. But no matter how much you try they just seem to grab on again, tenacious little buggers they are.
Bring Luke inside and borrow his map. Use it to see how far the fortress is from the more interesting parts of the city (museums, landmarks, etc.)
(4) You go outside and locate the unconscious Luke, lying next to a bank vault appeared out of nowhere, having decided to bring him inside. After dragging him inside you snatch up the map sticking out of one of his pockets and study it, getting a pretty good idea of how to get to the famous tourist spots in the city.
I ask Lucien to please find some way to make our facility outwardly nondescript or invisible, then begin creating a perfectly clean set of tunnels next to the sewers and have periodic exits into the sewers to allow access to the manholes. Additionally, I use a piece of sheet metal to map out the tunnel structure I am creating. After making these tunnels out to about a mile in all directions, I head back to the facility, and if Lucien hasn’t done anything yet, I take metal from the inside of some of the rooms and create a nondescript warehouse around our fortress.
(3+1+1=5) You ask Lucien to find a way to hide the fortress and then head down to the sewers, getting to work on creating a tunnel network that will make escape from the fortress more expedient. If it wasn't for your powers this work would surely have taken hours, but you manage to finish them in a mere five minutes, and even make a map of them on a thin piece of metal torn from the fortress.
I go to my lab and learn about making things invisible, then I try to apply it to the fortress.
(4) You head through your lab, scratching your head as you see that some things seem to have moved since you last were here, but deciding that you're probably just being paranoid, after all, there is no reason for anyone else to poke around in your lab. After quickly putting everything back in place you get to work on trying to find a way to make things invisible, and soon finding that encasing an eyelash in gum arabic and then using that to focus a magical field allows you to make things invisible, but only for a few minutes at a time.
Enemy Actions:Sue Smash!
(5-4=1) She would smash Mutosis, if she could move.
...
(6) Reaper's little display draws them like moths to the flame, and soon they have found the fortress. Helicopters are circling above it, but keeping at a safe distance. They seem to be waiting for something.
...
(5) Soon it becomes apparent what the helicopters were waiting for, as Iron Man himself arrives, landing outside the perimeter of the junkyard with a small thud. Though he seems to have done some modifications to his trademark armor, as a glowing blue mesh covers it. Only a few seconds after him come a speedster that would surely have something to say about Luke and Cheetahr's claims of being the fastest man on earth, Quicksilver. A minute or so later Bullseye and Spider Man arrive, and Iron Man steps forward, calling for your surrender and informing you that you have five minutes before they storm your hideout.
Allied/Neutral Actions:Buy stuff
(2) She is still wandering around, looking for a drug store. At least she isn't trapped in the fortress like the rest of you.
Blast away
(1) He starts laughing like a madman and points his large gun at a helicopter, only for nothing to happen when he presses the trigger. Quite annoyed he tries to figure out what is going on, looking down into the barrel and smacking the side of it, which is when it starts working again,
(6) and he jerks his head back with such force that he falls to the floor, barely in time to avoid the bolt of plasma that flies out of the weapon.
Break free
(4+1-1=4) He rips the interfering tentacles apart and runs inside, following Lucien.
Steal cars
(1) It silently sneaks up to an unwatched car, extending a tool to break in and steal it for its purposes, but as soon as it touches the car the alarm goes off and it hastily flies away.
...
(1) He is probably failing quite badly at what he is doing, perhaps he is even getting hurt,
(5) but through a stroke of luck he probably avoided that.
Get Zach and Blarney out of the tentacle field
(6) She laughs slightly at Blarneys wriggling form in the tentacle field, telling him that he's doing it wrong, and then getting to work on getting the tentacles to let go of him. After a little while it is done, and Blarney is free of their grasp.
