Well, one thing was for sure: this mechanical being was not magical or mystical in any way. If it were, Theran's spear would not have been so easily deflected. Nth metal possessed special properties for resisting and negating magical powers and energies, while possessing some of its own. Not that that actually mattered in this scenario. The robot thing started talking, first in a language Theran did not recognize, then in Thanagarian of all things. It tried to assure him that it was not here for battle nor for any hostile intention, but Theran wasn't completely convinced. The thing casually slaughtered a bus full of people in order to land here, and that was not something the Thanagarian was willing to overlook.

"You're not on Thanagar." Theran answered coldly, still pointing the tip of the spear at the robot once he was able to release it from being stuck. Clearly he was still not trusting this stranger, "Your ship didn't fail you, this is Earth." but something else the mechanical stranger said struck Theran as very odd, "But I know nothing of any alliance. Thanagar isn't exactly the friendliest planet in the galaxy." what was this so-called alliance the robot spoke of? Theran was certain that the only people of his planet to visit Earth were himself and the Hol's, and no one else. It did claim to be from the future... would Thanagar send forces to this planet in the future? "What do you know of Thanagar? I demand you tell me everything you know about this so-called Alliance you speak of!"
Now, to be fair, I could be overblowing this a bit. Best to just wait for Crim to get their final say on the matter. After all, they're the GM here not cranky old me. ^_^

So instead of having an abundance of magic users we're going to have an abundance of game-changing heavy hitters? Oh joy.

Sorry if I'm not jumping for joy at the prospect of not one, but two OP Krytonians dominating the playing field. Also this makes... how many other survivors/slash clones of Kryptonians in the DC Universe now? Sheesh, it's like that whole "Last of Son of Krypton" thing just completely lost all its meaning, doesn't it? I know Cadmus isn't above cloning Supes and even Supergirl, but I'm pretty sure even Waller would want to limit the clones to one each (ie Superboy and Power Girl) because, well, they're freaking Kryptonians they're gonna be hard enough to keep under control without having several of them to keep track of. Plus, devoting an entire clone just to take on Wonder Woman (who I should mention is nowhere near Supes' level) is way overkill. Why not clone Wondy herself or another Amazon? Hell just write it off as the umpteenth reboot of Donna Troy's origin story.

EDIT: By the way, Superboy only worked out because he was half human (he had Clark's AND Lex's DNA) so a full-blooded Kryptonian who stands to be just as much of a god-mode as Superman already is? Oi...
They were only supposed to be data, characters for a video game played worldwide by kids and adults alike. Digimon: digital pets whose purpose is to be cared for by their partners, called Tamers. Of course, Digimon are also capable of battle, having destructive power of their own that can be augmented by the use of "D-Cards" carried by their Tamer, and scanned into their handheld Digivices called D-Scanners. The game itself and all its concepts were created by the gaming mega-corporation known as D-Connect. Thanks to Digimon, D-Connect has become the largest and arguably most powerful company in the world. As the popularity of Digimon exploded worldwide, so too did their influence on things like economy and even politics. As for what really goes on within D-Connect's high offices, no one actually knows, though rumors and speculations are all over the place. D-Connect only became the center of even more speculation when suddenly beasts started emerging from machines and other electronics with ties to the internet. D-Connect called them Cyber Beasts, and theorized them to be made of corrupt data from rejected Digimon designs, but came under fire with accusations from all directions. In order to save face, D-Connect greenlit "Project Destiny" wherein they searched their gaming databases for the top Digimon players around the world, and sent each of them a cryptic email inviting them to take a "tour" of D-Connects main headquarters in Tokyo. These players, these Tamers - should they choose to accept the invitation - would have their lives changed forever. Because you see... Digimon are no longer just a game.




This is a setting based loosely on Digimon Tamers, where digimon in that world was just a popular franchise. The same applies to Cyber Beasts, but this setting will incorporate a few aspects of Savers/Data Squad as well as Tamers. Basically D-Connect will recruit the best Tamers from within their player database and give them "real" Digivices designed to resemble the D-Scanners, but with a "real" Digimon stored within it. By scanning a specific D-Card, said Digimon will be temporarily manifested into a physical form that can fight against the Cyber Beasts with the Tamer's help. Of course, like most Digmon stories, there's more to this setup than meets the eye, but you'll have to play and survive the game in order to learn those secrets.

So, is anyone interested?
Moscow ~ Pre-Timeskip

"Hmm... well, let's have a look-see then, shall we?" chuckled Seth, who opened a miniature Corridor next to his head and looked like he was pressing his ear against it like someone listening to a conversation from behind the door, only for it to suddenly expand and produce Tocsax.

"I'll uh... take that as a "yes" on the whole "let's get outta here" thing." said Seth, his grin widening a bit as he took the liberty of opening a new Corridor to take them back shipside. Before going through, Seth heard Drake's suggestion about the fly thing and so he quietly plucked it from his ear and sent it back to its owner. After that, well, it was back to the ship for everyone.

Manisa League ~ One Week Later

The past week for the Nobody was surprisingly quiet for him. He got his coat back that he loaned to Drake and donned it once more. He seemed to keep a low profile, minimizing the use of his powers and - even more surprising - the amount of pranks he pulled this week. After all that exertion back in Moscow, Seth had a feeling in his gut it might have attracted unwanted attention from people who may or may not have a bone to pick with him.

He listened to the rather confusing explanation of their next destination. A world where aliens turned human girls into Magical Girls that eventually degraded into evil witches? Yep, definitely a new one on him. Seth had to been several iterations of Earth and he was pretty sure none of them involved aliens and witches... at least that he was aware of anyway. Speaking of aliens, it sounded like they were the source of all the trouble, and when the explanation was done he decided to make an "innocent" suggestion.

"Uh, question." Seth piped up, raising his hand, "These Incubator guys... sounds like they're the source of the trouble. Can't we just eliminate them?" he asked, keeping an innocent grin, "No more Incubators, no more Magical Girls, and no more Witches." he scratched his head, making sure he had that logic straight, "Between the fleet and the Nobodies Tocsax and I control... surely we can take them on, yeah?" then he just... shrugged. Still doing the "clueless" routine it seemed, even though it was pretty apparent by this point that the Nobody was anything but that.

"Oh, right... you guys should know that I... may have overdone it a bit back in Moscow. May wanna keep our eyes peeled for anyone whose attention I might have accidentally attracted. Heh... whoops."
@Burning Kitty One major correction your post needs: Theran stabbed with the spear, he didn't throw it. So that whole bit about catching it midair? Not possible. Unless you want to suggest he forcibly ripped it from Theran's grip, but I don't think that one would fly either. Your android has super strength but so does Theran, so simply tearing a weapon out of his grasp probably isn't happening anytime soon. So yeah, Theran fully instigated combat by trying to manually run the android through with his spear. Simply "snatching the spear" just isn't possible I'm afraid.
Theran Kar ~ Hawkman

Metropolis ~ Little Bohemia


The city was peaceful enough for the moment, the only trouble Theran stepped in to stop was a runaway monorail earlier that morning. The Thanagarian was still not quite used to being called Hawkman, but the citizenry seemed hellbent on calling him that. In fact, Theran even tried to explain to the populace that he was not the man they thought he was. It was to no avail, the humans must have been desperate to have one of their fabled Justice League members miraculously return. Theran didn't care for the idea of stealing another man's name, but if calling himself Hawkman gave the Earthlings some manner of hope, then who was he to take that away?

The moment's peace was ended abruptly when a large sphere came crashing out of the sky, seemingly out of thin air. In it's downward fall the object nearly crashed into Theran, but the Thanagarian was fortunately quick enough to roll his momentum out of the way so as to avoid being flattened. He was quick to use his wings to correct himself again in midair, "What in the name of...?" Theran started to demand, but noticed the object's crash course and his eyes widened underneath his bird-like mask, "No!" he called, nosediving as fast as his wings would allow him. The object was barreling right for a bus full of people. Theran wanted to reach it first and get those people out of harm's way, but he simply wasn't fast enough.

The spherical object made it's explosive impact, practically obliterating the bus and Theran wasn't fast enough to stop it, "Hasn't the people of this world suffered enough?!" he shouted, practically giving a warcry as he made a b-line for the spherical object, "Who do you think you are?" he demanded, brandishing his Nth metal spear and already going to work on the sphere, trying to pry it apart or punch his spear through, "Dropping out of sky with no warning and killing the innocent bystanders who happen to be in your way, don't think you won't pay for this! Haaaah!" he kept bashing and thrusting, hoping the nth metal weapon would be enough to break open whatever this thing was. At last, the Thanagarian made an opening.

"Come on out you - robot?" Theran was momentarily confused. Inside the machine was... another machine. Well, the one inside had a vaguely human shape, but was clearly made of metal and electrical parts. It had to be some kind of robot, but it was nothing the winged alien had ever seen before. Of course, he also noticed the gun the mechanical thing brandished. Perhaps it was indeed looking for a fight? No matter, Theran thrust his spear forward anyway, hoping to skewer the thing before it could do anymore harm. The Thanagarian trusted that his nth metal breastplate would be enough to keep the gun from harming him.

At least he isn't some cultivated clone like unwanted offspring of Frieza :P

This interesting the Nux Squad now has 2 frieza clan members. It will be amusing with interacts between the two I would think.


It has "dick-measuring contest" written all over it if you ask me. I'm just waking for one of them to off the other all game of thrones style.
Roy shot Light a look, "That's Arsenal." he said, trying to correct her. It was too late, though, she'd already said his name and there was no taking it back. Perhaps it wasn't a total loss, though. The green-haired fellow did say he wanted to help. It wasn't the most favorable of circumstances, but Roy couldn't afford to be picky about recruits right now. He lowered his bow, even stowing away the arrow he'd drawn before reach up and switching off his voice modulator. That thing was mainly meant to be used as an intimidation tactic, but in this instance that wasn't necessary.

"I'm Arsenal," he started, then added with a slight roll of his eyes, "but as my partner here blurted out, my name's Roy... Harper." it was a risky move giving his full name to someone. The Justice League weren't the only heroes who had their identities compromised by Anarchy. The Titans did as well, and that included Roy himself. His former identity as Speedy and Red Arrow were just as much public knowledge as any of the others. That was the primary reason he invented his Arsenal identity, so he could get a fresh start, "That's Toon Girl." he said, gesturing toward Light. If she wanted to give the stranger her real name, that would be her decision to make.

"If you're telling us the truth, then today's a lucky day for the both of us. I was just telling my partner here that we needed to expand our operations. Or in layman's terms: we're recruiting." at this point he started walking and assumed they would follow. It was about time they went somewhere more secure to talk, and that meant heading back to base. The base was... well, Roy only needed to let the place speak for itself. He led them through the sewers awhile longer until they wound up at an abandoned subway station in the Bowery. The station itself was not the base, there was in fact a vault door hidden behind a false wall that Roy re-purposed. In it was shaft leading deeper underground. At the bottom of the shaft was another hatch, this one lead to what could only be described as an underground town.

"Welcome to Wonder City." Roy said to Nuke, Light having already been brought here once before, "Not many people know that North Gotham City is built on top of this place. The ones that do know about don't seem interested in it anymore, so I figured it would make a good enough place to lay low and out of Anarchy's reach." around the city were oriental markings carved into walls and pillars, "You can ignore those markings. The League of Assassins used to have a Lazarus Pit here, but Batman destroyed it a long time ago, so they're not coming back. No one's been using this place but us."

"Speaking of Batman..." Roy said, recalling Nuke's earlier question, "...he's the reason why the name Wayne is important. Bruce Wayne was the man under that cowl. He and his company both work for Anarchy now." Wonder City had a number of different amenities and shops within it. They made for good places to turn into living quarters and other such functions. Roy had re-purposed one of the souvenir shops into what he called a "War Room". It housed an oblong table surrounded by chairs, the table itself had a map of Gotham spread across it along with assorted blueprints and schematics for various famous buildings like Wayne Tower or Monarch Theater. The wall looked like it was designed by a conspiracy theorist, covered in photos and newspaper clippings connected by threads of various color to indicate who was connected with what, with Anarchy and his company at the center of it all. This was the room he led the others to.

"I wasn't kidding about expanding. We need more help. Even with three of us, we're still small potatoes compared to Anarchy," he grabbed a nearby notepad and scribbled something in one of its pages, "We can't rely on the heroes anymore. Just about all of them work for Anarchy now. I know a few... alternative choices, but contacting most of them will be difficult, and getting their cooperation will be even harder than that." he dropped the pad back onto the table and turned it around for them to read. Many of the names on that list were rather famous - or infamous, as the case may be. The list included individuals like Deathstroke, Calculator, Deadshot, but also a few odd heroes here and there as well. Most of them were villains however, or at the very least, mercenaries whose loyalty would probably need to be paid for or traded for in some way.
Wait, you were waiting on me? Sorry, I've been playing the new pokemon game and was waiting on Unknown to post there double since I had already posted right before that guy.


Actually, I was the one who posted just before Skinner. Unless you mean the one before that?
