Saturday Super Stories - The Event 4 B

"I have pulled from The Knowledge tales from the Event that ravaged two universes.  I start at the beginning and will tell the important parts, and while there are many stories to be told, this will be quick."  Chief Archivist of the Catalogers.

“Many things have been culled from this universe, many lives lost, some heroically, some fruitlessly, but everything and everyone met has had an impact.  Some people and places are the same regardless of the world on which it lay, it spreads like an infection.”

“A smart man once said ‘There is more than one of everything.”

The Event 4 - Dopplegang’land B “Jack Rabbit Versus Blrrr”

In the farthest reaches of Antarctica the Adventurers of the Undiscovered were exploring a fault line crack that burrowed deep into the crust beneath the glacier surface.  Barnabus adjusted the harness and released a bit more of the tension on the line lowering Warren further into the crevice. 

“Do you hear a buzzing sound Barney?”  Jeremy asked.  Barnabus Alexander also known as Jack Rabbit of the WMD looked up at him and began to speak as Jeremy vanished in a spray of blood and death.  A streak of red blurred fast and it was only his accelerated vision and brain power that allowed him to keep track of it at all.

The red began to slow down and stopped at the other edge of the crevice, the red it seemed was only what was left of his cousin and the man’s suit was in fact silver and white.  “I wouldn’t do that if I were you chief.  Bad shit lies beneath the arctic sheath.”

“I, who…what did you…”  Barnabus couldn’t find the words to express himself in that moment.

“The names Blrrr, your universe invaded mine and my team and I were sent here to negotiate your surrender.  But I’m going to go ahead and kill as many of your people as I can before I get pulled back to my universe.  Also I really mean it, you should stop what you are doing, gonna get that guy killed and release one of the universes most horrible things like ever on the universe.”

Confusion racked Barnabus’ brain and he still couldn’t get everything to work, he already felt himself releasing the harness and the line begin to slide away from him as his body began to move into its speed zone.

“Thing you are exploring down there is called Horizon, super evil she-bitch time traveler.  Real name is Josephine or so she told us when I released her on my world.  Us hyper-kinetics always seem to be science guys, and we always have a group, be it challengers, adventurers, or explorers, doesn’t matter the universe we always come here and release this abomination against reality.  My group is also called Horizon, we named ourselves after the thing we united against and killed to save the universe.”

“WHAT ARE YOU?!” Jasmine screamed.

“I am he and he is me.”  Then Blrrr was gone and time reverted to normal speed and Barnabus realized that the fight hadn’t even started and it was over and he had lost, blood poured from the holes punched in his sternum and then he heard Warren slam into the ice below.

Jasmine ran to him and tried to call the WMD and warn them but it was already too late, the end had come and they were to slow.

Types

Types

The Star Force Imbued - are individuals burdened with portions of the Star Force, they are similar to the Star Forced.  The Family absorbed a small portion of one on their way through the Kaleidoscope Cascade.  The noble blooded of Immortia seem to possess some kid of Star Force imbuement.

The Star Forced - Very unique individuals who house a whole Star Force, ones that came from the evolution of the universe.  SuperDude houses Dawnbringer, while Humongous Man once housed Eclipse, and the stone of Central Park became the progenitor of the Star Force Centurions.

Human - Just your standard baseline normal person from an Earth, be it Prime or II.  Sometimes the most dangerous of the species.

Augments - are humans that were tested on by the government using the blood of Arien Blackwood.  They have super human abilities and number in the hundreds.

Aliens - Species not of the Earth.

Genetic Hybrids - The children of the augmented that are imbued with greater than human abilities.

Immortals - Humans who do not die through any conventional means.  Some live forever because of a curse (the 4 Woes), others are immortal because of noble blood.  Immortality always comes at a cost and most come with a curse.

Scions - Individuals who are genetically perfect to house the Entities God Seed, they then become his Scions and spread chaos through the universe so that he may feed.

Groups & Teams

Groups & Teams

WMD - The Weapons of Mass Destruction formed during the Harvester Crisis, led by the Dark Avenger and SuperDude, this team saves the world on a weekly basis.

IED - The Improvised Explosive Device are a group of the less powerful superhumans of the Super U’niverse, they are a sub-team of the WMD and as such handle lesser problems when they arise and the WMD are too busy to handle it on their own.

The Family - Led by Richard Reader aka Spectacular, this family of superhumans gained their abilities from an extra-dimensional accident that led to a war with a parallel earth (THE EVENT).  Other members of the Family are Visible Lass, Richard’s wife Sadie, Sear and Clobber, Joanna and Robert Garvey, husband and wife.  They tend to deal with some of the more serious cosmic threats like The Entity and his Scions.

Freedom’s Legacy - They were a group of six people led by The Commander during World War II, who answered to the Allies.  The Commander and Sentinel have since made their way into the future to become members of the WMD and assisted during the Harvester Crisis.

The Raven Institute for the Academically Gifted - A school for the augmented and genetic hybrids of the world, opened by Alejandro Raven on the outskirts of New York City on the Ravenswood estates, and future site of Super University.  It was closed down sometime after THE EVENT.  One of the students would become the first Protégé of the Dark Avenger and later become Zero a threat to NeoGothic City and the hero known as Black Sapphire.

Force 11 - After Arien Blackwood escaped custody by the government he went to the Show of Force bank and trust and committed suicide, his vaporous remains would imbue twelve people in the bank with amazing abilities and reawaken a dormant Star Force called the Pariah and in turn wake the Messiah deep in space.

Adventurers of the Undiscovered - A small group of family members who explore the world in search of answers to life’s mysteries.  Jack Rabbit of the WMD is a member of this group and through them discovered Amazona and her people before they were wiped out and found a god to worship and take the mantle of.

The Column – The governments’ government, super spies who watch everything and protect everyone.  Former directors include Jackson Black and Gregory Haines, the current director if Nicolette Q. Chalm, daughter of Jackson Black.

The B Listers - A sub-group of elite soldiers within the Column command structure.  They are led by Gregory Haines, the ex-director who had replaced Jackson Black after the death during THE EVENT.  They handle missions that threaten the American way of life.

Horizon - A group similar to the WMD from Earth II, made up of anti-heroes who were easily corrupted by the overwhelming influence of Pandemonium when arriving of the Super U’niverse Earth.  The team fell during THE EVENT, only one member managed to remain after the collapse of the Kaleidoscope Cascade.

Aliens

Aliens

The Harvesters - An alien species that lives in between the universes.  They hunt down and feed upon beings that possess the Star Force.  They are on the verge of extinction with the last of the species now trapped in the Super U’niverse.  They found the universe after Arien Blackwood breached the Cascade and landed on Earth, his minor Star Force signature was enough for “The Erroneous Bleed” to track him down.  At the time they were being guided by Genesis, another being of immense power trapped in the space between universes.

They were defeated and imprisoned on Earth in The Column and the SPIRaL ARC facilities, after their leader Genesis fled the battle and abandoned his troops.

The Entity - Is a cosmic being that feeds upon the chaos that is sowed by his Scions.  One of the last beings of his kind in the universe after his people fought in each other to the death in the War of Sorrows.  His true name is unpronounceable in the human tongue; Spectacular once built a universal translator that took a few days to finally spit out ‘Ted’.

The Scions - Are beings that were once normal until the God Seed filled them and turned them into the Entity’s ‘sons’.  They go about the universe and cause destruction and the energy of the chaos caused by them feeds their master.

The Catalogers - Are a species that are virtually unknown to the whole of the universe.  They chronicle everything that happens, and are able to pass between the fabric between the worlds.  Everything they collect is stored in The Knowledge, a massive hunk of extra terrestrial quartz, which is found in the center of the complex in which they live.  The Chief Archivist oversees all of the activities of the Catalogers and is able to navigate The Knowledge with ease, plucking information from it and allowing others to relive the data.

The Star Force Centurions - Fueled by an alien Star Force that had been bound into the Harvester Ship “The Erroneous Bleed”.  Freed during the formation of the WMD and IED when the Harvesters assaulted the Star Force imbued beings of Earth, it picked another Star Force that had been bound in the rock of Central Park in New York City and chose it to spread the word and find hosts to divide its power and police the universe.

The Antianeira - More commonly called Amazons, The Antianeira are high borne noble-women warriors that were exiled to Earth millennia ago.  The Amazon myths came from them.  Originally led by Penthesilea until her death, currently those who remain after the Purge are led by Daphne the daughter of Penthesilea who is better known to the world as Amazona.

Saturday Super Stories - The Event 4 A

"I have pulled from The Knowledge tales from the Event that ravaged two universes.  I start at the beginning and will tell the important parts, and while there are many stories to be told, this will be quick."  Chief Archivist of the Catalogers.

“Many things have been culled from this universe, many lives lost, some heroically, some fruitlessly, but everything and everyone met has had an impact.  Some people and places are the same regardless of the world on which it lay, it spreads like an infection.”

“A smart man once said ‘There is more than one of everything.”

The Event 4 - Dopplegang’land A “SuperDude Versus Aeon”

“Remember when we cross over to protect the device on your waistbands, it is the only thing holding you together in that world.  If you lose it you will be pulled back to this world, because you will act as a negative to the positive of their world, pushed away from them.  We do not know if the transfer will be safe, you might perish.”

“We are attempting to align you to your counterpart and you should appear near them.”

Aeon hovered in the air in front of Superdude and smiled.  “So you are the one who is just like me?”  He looked him up and down as SuperDude did the same in return.  “My abilities are many and are very powerful, they stem from a sun I ate during the imprisonment at the hands of my people.  I was forced to evolve and destroyed them with the very thing I was imprisoned with, it was quite ingenious really.”  Aeon paused his speech as SuperDude stopped and stared at the symbol emblazoned on Aeon’s chest, two angels ripping apart a helix of DNA.  “You are making me tell you all of this somehow are you not?”  SuperDude shrugged and smiled back at him.

“It’s part of the abilities within me, I inspire confidence in those around me, and I make other people better.”  He explained as Aeon snarled in response and attacked him.  SuperDude caught his rushing fist and launched into a grapple that Aeon reversed and twisted free of.  “We are equally matched and you will not win.”

“Oh I will win, and I know your one real weakness, this place, this world, I will take the fight to it if you do not surrender to me without a fight.  Your people attacked my world and you will pay for it.”

“My people, what are you talking about?”

 

“The one called Reader and his Family attacked my home and are now the prisoners of war.”

“I really do not think that’s the greatest course of action seeing as we have only just met and that’s a very bad idea.”  SuperDude shrugged back at him.  “I will be better than you because I must be, and you will never have a chance to hurt this world.”  In a blink SuperDude was on Aeon and then they were hurdling through space.

Nearby…

Android X watched the exchange and his onboard computer systems tracked the trajectory and calculated their destination as the asteroid belt just past Mars.  It appeared as if SuperDude had warped spacetime around him and blitzed them across the distance in several hops.

He retrieved files and began to cross reference the battles being waged across the Earth and watched readings begin to flood in as more and more cracks in reality began to appear.

This Event that were a part of was going to end all of creation.
