[Twi] Twilight the lynching: The Gathering Storm

[Draxx]

The Kurgan
A car drives into Forks, Washington, coming on like a hurricane. At the wheel was an immense figure, tall and built like a mountain. He looks like a punk, gothic nightmare, dressed in black leather, greased-back hair, with a high, arrogant face, good cheekbones, and a horrific scar across his neck.
He seemed out of place in the modern surroundings. He seemed more a part of the ancient nightmares of humanity then anything that belonged here and now. His slightest movement spoke of steel-spring muscles knit to the keen intellect of a born swordsman. There was nothing deliberate or measured about his actions, either he was at rest, in which he was still as a statue, or he was in motion, with the slow deliberate movements of a lion stalking prey.

Merciless and arrogant, The Kurgan rides through time on the strength of those other immortals he has killed, beheading them and swallowing their power with the goal of being the last immortal left as the ultimate Prize to be won.

Regardless of the country or time, the Kurgan is relentless in his quest for the Prize. And so in light of his bloodlust, he has come here, to Forks, hunting one of his kind.

A chainmail glove turns on the radio, and he smiles to himself, as the sound blares out. Here we are. Born to be kings.

Roland Deschain
The Gunslinger gets to his feet. He fits in the town far better then the other two, even with his massive revolvers. He stares around, his faded blue eyes shocked at the familiar.

"I know this place." He says softly. "I have been here before."

Optimus Prime
The leader of the Autobots shakes himself, as he returns to normal. Godzilla is smashing the city.
He has to do something about it.

Kamina
"I have yet to discover all there is to know, but I am learning." He replies, the ring flashing again. The harsh words don't bother him, he's already made up his mind. If he has to he'll break off Gurren Laggan and attack all by himself.

[Gulping]

Dante

Dante perks up at Roland's words. "You have? Seriously? Do you know where the nearest bar is? If I don't get something NOW I'm going to slick my hair back and start acting like my brother. That's a bad thing!" It's hard to tell if Dante's apparent hysteria is real, or just an act he's putting on as some kind of weird joke.

It is equally hard to tell whether or not he's an incredibly good or unbelievably terrible actor.

[Colesign]

Vin

"Thank you for the medical aid: it's hard to self-treat a wound like this."

Vin lets him do his work. "To the best of my knowledge, we're the only living things here." Vin says, "Although, the thing that broke my ankle, a decaying hand emerging from beneath the tree, is very much undead and malevolent. It can't move, so stay the heck away from it."

There's a moment of silence. "So where'd you learn to bind a wound like this?"

[Draxx]

Roland Deschain
"I do. Yes." He replies, still getting his bearings. Then he walks in what might be a carefully chosen path he dredged out from the depths of his memory, and might just be a random direction. At last you come to a bar, and he steps in, taking out some neatly rolled bills and putting them on the counter. They are all genuine, and all from different dimensions he's wandered on his never-ending quest. Some have Theodore Rossevalt on the twenty dollar, some have Andrew Jackson, others have Martin Luther King.
"Two drinks, thank you." He says softly, confident that sooner or later something will emerge, to show him the way.

[Cracklord]

Vin
He pulls the last knot tight. "I used to be a woods guide." He replies, standing up. "You may lean on me if you need to."

Roland Deschain
The man looks at the money. "This some sort of joke?" He asks, staring at what he takes to be obvious forgeries.

[nanobot_swarm]

Akuma
The concert was good, something made him stay. Then something blasted him across universes to somewhere, as the concert tore a hole in reality.

Godzilla
The great levithan attempts to dodge and close the distance between him and slot machine monster.

King Ghidorah
Ghidorah begins to sadistically step on Magog continuously, till he is crushed firmly into the ground.

[Cracklord]

Akuma
You appear in front of Sylar.

[Colesign]

Vin

Vin burns Pewter. "I'm tougher than I look. But thank you for the help."

Following Richard, she asks. "A Woods Guide. Is that like a gardener?"

{Vin hasn't seen a proper forest, what with growing up in a ash-choked, mist-filled despotic land}

[nanobot_swarm]

Akuma
Just who he wanted to punch in the face, he still has two hits after all. Hopefully the surprise appearence and speed of Akuma will knock some teeth out.

[doliest]

Sylar
Sylar looks at Akuma, who appeared before him while Sylar was opening a Door to Quantum's location, or trying to anyway, "Yes? Do you want something?"

After the punch lands, Sylar spits out several teeth. Akuma can see them staring to regrow in Sylar's mouth, "What was that for, exactly?"

[darkblade]

Dresden, Morbius

"This is your idea of backup?" Morbius whispered to me.

"The Merlin has been murdered and Day Watch is setting up to go to war with us. If things were better I'd have the authority to pick my own back up but not with this mess. Morgan may be a hard ass but he's trust worthy."

"So are you but you still shot me when we first met." Morbius adds.

"You're going to hold that over me forever aren't you?" I asked continuing on our way towards the Cullen's house.

Zexion

"I get to keep the evil council of Doom though, right?" Zexion asks.

"They were pretty hard to round up. The multiverse is a big place you know."


Oracle

((Thats Eddie and Scott who just appeared right?))


Darksied

"Probably a group of would-be "Superheroes" trying to make a name for themselves. Destroy them." Darksied shrugs as the outer orbital weapons begin to fire upon the G3.

[Cracklord]

Vin
"No, it's someone who knows an environment, the dangers and safeties, and leads them through it." He replies.
"You never did tell me your name."

Oracle
Yes

Dresden, Solomon Kane, Elric, Morbius
Morgan doesn't react to your words. He's too busy suffering your company.

Apokolips
The orbital weapons of one of the most advanced and powerful nations in the universe who have dedicated their entire existence to war all open fire on the incoming mech at once.

Zexion
"Of course." He fades back into the darkness.

[Gulping]

Ryoma

"Then I'll give you the opportunity to learn in the same fashion I did.

CHANGE GETTER TWO! SWITCH ON!" At Ryoma's shout, the G-3 changes into Spiral Getter once more. Kamina is now in control of the machine, which now pulses with the power of the Blue Lantern.

The power of the Blue Lantern of Hope is, on its own, almost useless. When combined with the power of a Green Lantern, however, it is almost invincible.

The power of either Lantern is but a fragment of the long-lost White Lantern of Life, which exists in direct opposition to the power of the Black Lanterns and, indeed, all other darkness in the universe, including the Crimson King, Ungoliat, and Randall Flagg.

But even the White Lantern is nothing more than a mindless, pale imitation of Getter. If the Lantern represents Life, then Getter represents LIFE. The unstoppable perseverance and determination, the boundless potential and growth, the unknowable majesty and terror, and the infinite ability to EVOLVE.

If a Green Lantern Ring is a focusing lens, The Spiral Getter is a particle accelerator the size of a solar system.

"It's all yours. Kamina."

[The Shoveler]

Lucy/Nana
She attempts to enter the Asylum by walking through the front door.

[Colesign]

Vin

"From the looks of things, you were pretty good at that job." she muses.

Then Richard asks about her name

"Oh? Sorry about that. The name's Vin." she says offhandedly.

{So, Vin hasn't yet turned off her Atium: she'll have full precog if Richard decides to fight}

[Draxx]

Kamina
"ALL RIGHT!" He says, ring flaring with blue light. "Missiles? They think they can destroy us with missiles? Who the hell do they think we are?" He sits at his chair, far to in the zone to have the slightest fraction of doubt. "Coop? Control shields, try and shoot their incoming attacks out of the sky. Asuka? Evasive maneuvers! don't let them lay a finger on us! Yoda? Try and predict where the attacks will fall! Ryoma?"
He smiles, a smile that Ryoma is on the receiving end of for a change, blue light and spiral energy making him far from human. "You're with me. Lets talk."

Roland Deschain
Meeting Rolands cold stare, the barman decides not to push it and takes the money, giving them both a drink.
"Cheers" He says, and downs it.

Yoda
The Jedi master does as Kamina instructs, using the living force to read the killing intent of those targeting with the weapons systems, to allow them to dodge as much as possible.

[nanobot_swarm]

Akuma
"You seemed to be a warrior, I wished to see if you are like the other warriors I encountered, and indeed you are, more than human. I have been transported from elsewhere again, and from death, all those I meet are foes or temporary allies, which are you?"

[Draxx]

Magog
The golden warrior, lets out a pained grunt with every blow, before at last he collapses in the rubble, unmoving.

[doliest]

Sylar
"It depends; are you more than human?"

Slot Monster
It attempts to put it's hands up to protect itself from Godzilla.

[darkblade]

Lucy

The doors have been smashed open by one of the previos attackers, nothing stands in your way into the main hall.

***

Zexion

With that Zexion scans the remaining territory he controls for any remaining intruders.

***

Scott and Eddie

A short woman in a pointed cowl stands in the doorway of the system hub glaring at the two of you. On her chest sits the yellow and black bat emblem.

"You two? Get here how?"

[Colesign]

Sanya

{I'm waiting for Industrious to start the battle, so to speak}

[The Shoveler]

Nana
She's walking along cooing at the destruction and other sights. She makes her way along when she sees the elevator to Oracle's office. She enters it and heads up to see Mrs. Gordan.

[The Tygre]

Elric
"My dragonet has informed me of a nearby holding. We should be safe there. At least there will be no magic." Elric has the wyrmling lead the party to the hotel.

Quenthel
"Thank you, Mistress. But where is the portal that will take us to this place?"

Kreia
"I need it singularized. The very essence of the equation in one entity, if only for a little while."

[darkblade]

G3

Asuka executes evaise manuvers and avoids the incoming missiles. Unfortunately the satalites change their weapons systems and form a grid of energy beams around the mecha limiting it to a few hundred miles of vaccum.

***

Oracle

Barbra looks up the young girl. "Thats strange. I was sure we evacuated all of the civilians. What are you still doing here honey?"

[Draxx]

Antagonists I've decided to play
A tall, skeletally thin, snake-like man with nearly translucent skin and no lips surveys the town of Forks. His dark scarlet eyes were set in slits like a cat's; his nose was flat as a snake's; his fingers are unnaturally long, like a spider's legs. He is wearing a black hooded cloak, as well as elegant black robes.
Lord Voldemort began to descend, eyes narrowed, as he searches for the wizard known as Harry Dresden.

The Kurgan parks the car, removing an incredibly detailed replica broadsword, that he quickly assembles, swinging with far more speed, skill, and co-ordination then you'd associate the mammoth of a man having. Resting it on his shoulder, he turns and begins to walk into town, smiling a slasher smile, with he swagger of a born killer.

[The Shoveler]

Nana
She looks up at Oracle. She could live... for now. There was something more important. Destroying the remainder of the humans.
"Nyu?" she says. You get a feeling that she can't speak.

Coop
He activates the main shields and starts using the light gun blaster to destroy anything coming towards them that can be destroyed and relying on Asuka to dodge the rest.

[Colesign]

Solomon Kane

Solomon stiffens. Intuition gained over a century or so of life, plus some vibes from the Staff of Solomon, warn him that some serious **** is going to go down.

"Harry, Morgan, Elric, and Morbius..." Mouse barks at Harry's side.. "And Mouse, sorry: there are...evil presences closing in upon this town. They aren't the Cullens, or anyone else I know. We must keep our eyes open."

[Draxx]

The Kurgan
He swaggers down the road, the cars not daring to get in his way. The sword might have something to do with it, though another likely explanation is they recognize the law enforcement, limited to Charlie Swann, was not going to achieve much against this eight foot tall leather wearing psychopath. Laughing, a horrible, laugh, he brings down his sword on the fender of a car that honks at him, cleaving the motor in half in a truly shocking display of strength.
Nobody else told him to get out of the way. Coming to the edge of town, he planted his sword squarely on the ground, tip touching the concrete, and laughs. "Here I am, Solomon! Nice to see you again. You were hard to find."

Voldemort
Wraithlike, the evil wizard simply follows for now, waiting for the perfect time to reveal himself and take what was his. Perhaps he should summon his death eaters, then he dismisses it. He was Voldemort, conqueror of death. He feared no lesser wizard.

Jon Shannow
The rider paused at the crest of a wooded hill, and gazed down at
the wide, rolling ampty lands beneath him. There was no sign of Jerusalem.
Tall and gaunt, seeking a city that had ceased to exist three hundred years before. A lonely, tortured man on a quest with no ending, riding through a world of savagery and barbarism. A quest that had brought him here.
Spurring his horse, he made his way towards the town, across the lines who would dare to go.
He had not died. And still, Jerusalem beckoned.

[Murkus]

Azazel

The demon contorts Andie's face in a malicious sneer, advancing towards Sam with murder in his host's eyes.

He tries to snatch Sam's shirt and grip the back of his neck with the other hand. With a deliberate, singular motion, he tries to trip the boy up and shove his face into the boiling pot of water.

[Gulping]

Dante

Dante slams a fifty down on the bar. "Whiskey and Ice Cream. Strawberry." He practically growls it out, sounding every bit the half demon he is. As such, service is prompt, and he is halfway through a bottle and carton of each when his 'Bad S**t' sense starts tingling.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii---" He shovels the ice cream into his mouth, chases it with the remainder of the liquor, and stands up, scowling out of annoyance and from the severe headache he just got.

"Something just strolled into town, and it's giving me a migraine. I refuse to let such actions go unpunished." The devil hunter stomps out of the bar, bristling with weaponry.

Whatever monster's dumb enough to get within eyeshot first is unlikely to walk away.

Ryoma

Ryoma doesn't say anything. He just focuses on piloting the Getter, using the input of his co-pilots to keep the most fragile form of G-3 safe while the others wreck s**t. He still has enough time to fire tomahawks at the satellites trying to pin the machine down.

Eddie and Scott

Eddie looks at Batgirl with a confused expression. "Uh... I'm just a roadie. I don't really know what the hell just happened. I THINK it might have been a repeat of whatever sent me to the Age of Metal in the first place, but I'm not sure."

At this point, Scott becomes conscious again. "RAMONA! SHE'S GONE! EDDIE! WE NEED TO FIND HER! SHE MIGHT BE IN DANGER!" He rounds on Ophelia, looking absolutely frantic. "Oph! Do you have any idea what happened to Ramona and the others?!"
