Game 2(02/11/09) Last game started straight off right were we last left our heroes, Meat shield was recovering (rapidly) from his fight with Electro and was on his way home. Meanwhile across town near central park, Prismatic Ray had teleported Glare (our female anti-hero) to his apartment. Back in Brooklyn our youngest hero Vessal was heading home when he saw a shop on fire, making his way there he say to humanoid creatures composed of fire, running to a nearby alley, he summoned the power of Asteroth transforming into the demon. Charging in the creature magined to dodge, when just as Meat shield came round the corner seeing the shop under his apartment on fire! Seeing a demon and fire Meat Shield was about to react negatively (towards 'Vessal'), Vessal then proved his alignment by slaying the fire creatures with Meat Shields help. Back in Prismatic Rays apartment, Glare had taken over demanding clothes and a shower, which Ray was all to happy to collect from the clothes shop below his apartment, after being bathed and clothed, glare noticed a burning smell, looking out the window the store was on fire. the same creatures that assailed our other heroes where then faced by Glare and Prismatic Ray. Making short work of them, Glare was taken unaware by an unknown man holding a gun to her head. Vessal and Meat Shield had parted ways, the heros last adventure had been reported on the news, giving Vessal ideas of 'friends' to help him do good. Heading to the policestation (in human form coincidently Meat Shield was listening to the radio as his name was mentioned and so was afew other names (of recognisable heros, Peter Parker to name one), that had there apartments set ablaze. Making his way to the police station both Vessal and Meat Shield overheard the names of all attacked people, and went straight for the phone book, suspicious of each other, the parted ways, but not before Vessal stated smoking in purple smoke, Meat Shield noticing it, followed him. Meanwhile Ray couldn't find Glare and went back into his apartment, Glare had been accosted by a Man in a Suit of Mercury that handed her a case, and told her to start hiding her appearance, inside the case was a costume of black and red leather (ask Bernadette for full description), as glare walked free, she saw Ray talking to the police and was then marched into a police car. glare then used her powers to telekintically steal someone keys and drove away tailing the police car. Vessal was being contacted by Asteroth who told him the pattern of attacks and described the made a pentagram pattern, central park being the centre, at the police station nearby Ray was being questioned about the fire, and if anyone may wish him dead. The cop then showed the layout but couldnt figure out the patter. Ray then begain to work on the pattern back at his apartment. Vessal then persuaded Meat Shield to listen to him and come to central park, Ray and Glare had since figured out the pattern and were heading there also. Our heroes united Vessal assuming demonic form and all costumed made there way into a very empty central park, at a little islet the heroes found lots of people all ages and walks of life surrounding what looked like a glowing woman, as she stood up all the heroes except glare fell under her spell, and where enraptured by her. Glare was then told to leave, and when she didn't, the woman (aka Ms'Marvellous) used her light powers to blind Glare, unfortuantly for Ms Marvellous, Glare had a gun, after the blinding wore off, Glare pointed her gun and shot her in the head, breaking the spell over the male heros. All was not over where the villain was standing a strange stone slab was, and beside it a gaping hole into the ground Glare could see down to a sarcophagus, it began to glow as a great fiery serpent rushed outwards and flew straight at a bystander, imbueing him with occult power, Scorcher was reborn, and in the steamy mist parted the heros faced off against the creator of the fire creatures, he could melt bullets, doge almost any attack until he was laid low by rocks and horns, but the spirit of scorcher then went back to be reconstituted in the tomb. Vessal reading the slabs inscription chanted the spell to seal the spirit back in its tomb, Glare was planning to finish off Ms Marvellous but before she could her body had disappeared.... Tune in next week for another Exciting Episode off...................... Someone in the group needs to come up with a Team name.

If we end up on the right side of the Superhuman registration act we could be 'State Sponsored Heroics' More likely we'd just end up in another S.H.I.E.L.D. 50 states initiative team; The Rhode Island Avengers etc...

I was thinking more cooler, u guys are pretty awesome for starting heroes, so an equally awesome name would fit well.
e.g
The Defenders [already taken] The Protectors Gamma Force Zeta Team
and more

I'm not sure if we are heroes yet. Perhaps we have to continue to do good and see if we develop our own identity.
Also, the five of us haven't even met together yet so it'll have to happen organically anyway.
Usually group identity is formed through some common experiance or connection; the Fantastic Four are a family, the X Men went to school together- this is why the Avengers were always breaking apart with each other.

Game 3(9/11/09) After the last game two weeks have past, the incident in Washington has been televised across the globe, this sparking the superhuman registration act which is put forward for approval. The Hero's continued about there daily lives, when in Queens a bank robbery was taking place, where a super villain by the name of 'The Cosmic Smasher', had stolen a vault from a bank in queens, and made his escape through the back wall, before the police could stop him, more than a dozen armed criminal threatened to kill hostages within the bank.
Glare phoned Prismatic Ray, Ray phoned Vessal and Torrent had noticed this on the news, and had already beamed his way there into the security cameras and was assessing the situation. Meat Shield was a whole district away and heard this on the radio but decided he wouldn't make it in time. Prismatic Ray used his powers of teleportation to get the three of them (Glare and Vessal), to the crime scene, where they were confronted with the police, they were most untrusting and uncooperative with the hero's especially Vessal, Ray and the others then sped round the back of the building and followed the destruction 'The Cosmic smasher' had made, following the trail it eventually led to nothing, just stopping in the middle of the road.
Back with Meat Shield at the Oscorp building a swirling hemi-sphere of purple energy had appeared next to Shield, appearing out of it was, a man dressed in a black and red costume wielding a metal staff that was glowing with purple energy, beside him a hulk of a man, muscled with a tattoo of a green palm with energy coming from it and wearing a red hood much like meat shields. And behind then both was a vault, the staff man directed the smasher to take care of Meat Shield, which he did in a single blow(or so they thought), Meat Shield was playing dead, he waited till they left, the staff man directing them up towards the new work at the top of the building, Meat Shield then costumed up, phone the police and then climbed up, successful evading notice, he discovered the 'staff man' telling The Smasher to put the orb in the centre, the smasher was struggling to move this glowing black orb, the vault lay open next to Meat Shield, who proceeded to heft it towards the staff man....
Back at the bank Torrent was alerting the police via CCTV that there were 14 men in all, as he saw a blur of prismatic light, before hand Glare had been using her Telekinetic powers to switch the safety's on the criminals guns, Ray being rash zoomed in, but misjudging it slipped sending Vessal and Glare hurtling in the bank, Glare smashing through the glass near customer service areas, and Vessal into the fake plants skidding almost to the door. Glare then stood up and levitated 7 bullets and kneecapped and crotch shot in one individuals case) all of them and incapacitated her half of the room. Vessal started to charge and roar at the others drawing there attention, It was over before it began, up in the camera torrent had moved tp the computers and had discovered the bank was a cover for a mystic organisation that protected an orb call the 'Orb of Dagon'. Downloading the files onto dvd he left to see of the others were ok. Just as they were settled gas canisters were shot into the bank...
[will finish recap tomorrow]

As the Vault flew towards staffman (known as demonstaff to his friends), cosmic smasher was slowly lifting the 'Orb of Dagon' towards the sigil in the centre of the roof, the Vault clipped Demonstaff knocking him out and off the building, Cosmic Smasher then dropped the orb, but inside the sigil, the orb bagan to roll into the centre of the sigil and started to rise. Cosmic smasher and Meat Shield then both made their escape off the top of the building. The orb started to pulse with purple energy, then started to form a tower of black marble, both Smasher and Shield watched in awe, as purple lighting shot out f the tip and begin to tear the sky, peeling back revelling black space. Smasher then ran away, Shield began to notice the ground was changing and walked through, his skin became a negative and slowly became accustomed to the environment. As he looked around he could see, creatures flying around, and others warring with each other, ground at his feet was black in the distance brown/red mountains jutted out a barren landscape. Shield wished to leave and started to move out and hed home....
At the bank the knockgas had affected all the hostages and also Prismatic Ray, Vessal carrying Ray and shuffling the crimals out made his way out the front door, Glare noticed Torrent coming out the office, grabbing his hand the both made there way out the back hole, all spotted by the police they were all told to freeze! A van rolled up with a hexgonal container on its back, stepping out a man in ablue overcoat, told them all to come with him and put these on, Torrent tryed to make his escape through a radio held by some agents, the man pulled a gun from his belt and shot the radio with an electrical pulse, shorting out the radio and dropping torrent on the floor. They were all relcuntaly handcuffed, and depowerd, Vessal assumed human from, pulling his shirt over his head just in time for no one to see, Torrent no longer glowed with energy lines. Put in the van they were then drove away, stopping about 10minutes after there journey and glare was pulled out...
Back a the black marble tower a similar van had wheeled up to meet Shield, stepping out a man in a blue overcoat, who demanded he enter van, shield was willing to come with but not as a prisoner, the over-coated man shot him with an electric gun, to no effect, Meat shield then punched the mans head off, revelling he was an android, Meat Shield then tryed to find any identity for the man or robot in the van. The android then started to get up and walk towards Meat Shield, saying we need ure help, Meats shield hoped on top of the van and they drove.
Finally our hero's were together again, in A S.H.E.L.D helicarrier, all uncuffed they were then greeted by a man called 'Nick Fury',and it was explained that the in the current political situation it had to appear that you where being arrested, even though the registration act wasn't in place. Nick then asked our heros to come toegther and help save New York, the Orb was creating a portal to the Negative Zone and they were the only heros in town capable to take care of it....
[more to come, in The Negative Zone]

The Negative Zone.....
Nick Fury explained that the orb needed to be destroyed and only Prismatic Ray would be capable to 'Port; them there and back, on board the helicarrier he had a port enhance chamber, this would allow them to get to the tower, but to get back Ray would have to push the limits of his power, once the orb was destroyed they would have 6.2 seconds before they were stranded in the negative zone. Torrent requested some aid and was given the busted Android that Meat Shield damaged to control.
Making there way into the chamber Ray sped up and then ported them all to halfway up the tower, climbing up the half of tower seemed like a breeze for everyone except Ray, who had to port up not being strong enough to climb the sheer surface. Reaching an incline they all climbed up and where met by stone Gargoyles winged and horned, they sprung to life and attacked, Torrents android being destroyed in a few seconds, but Torrent was no push over and smashed one with his bare hands. As 2 of the stone creatures fell, a swirling purple vortex appeared and Demonstaff and The Cosmic Smasher appeared,
A battle ensued, Torrent was laid low with an energy blast, Vessal fought the remaining Gragoyles, Ray attempted to hurt Cosmic Smasher but to no effect and Meat Shield started pounding Smashers head in, after blows were done, Demonstaff used his superpowers to blast the tower causing the orb to fall to there level, before anything else could happen Torrent regained consciousness, and blasted Demonstaff with a fullforce electrical blast. Cosmic Smasher then decided to smash the orb, cracking it, as the others stood in shock, Ray began to pick up speed in order to teleport. Smasher picked up Demonstaff and leaped off the building, as Ray sped around, torrent jumped into Vessals mobile phone, Ray started to port as the orb exploded, but he was crossing a dimensional barrier and iit was proving too much for him, just as the orb shatter and the lightning shot out in all direction, one bolt hitting Ray just as he ported supercharging his powers and porting them back to Nick fury's base.
As they arrived Ray collapsed and was taken to the infirmary and was shown a mirror, his hair had taken on a Prismatic hue, all multicoloured and his iris where replaced with constantly shifting colours.
Nick Fury thanked the heros but explained the brooklyn bridge and some of new york had been destroyed including Shields and Vessals apartment, but he lso said he had arranged for 10,000 dollars to be wired to each of the hero's accounts and that a complex under Central park would be made avaible to them, it was unused and empty but if the current situation was too turn sour then they would have a place to regroup should they decide to go against it. [The complex is there 50' x50' rooms, with an access portol via the sewers (keycode and retinal scans, to access), also an emergency escape route near Rays apartment]
Glare is still yet to be seen, no one knows what has happened to her...?

Would Ray not confuse the retinal scan? Oh well, I suppose he could just teleport in.
