It took what seemed like ages to research and track down the supposed new generation of supers. Risking my tail out there in the chaos for the sliver of hope I held onto. Some of them I found by accident, while out on the streets gathering supplies. Some were nearly impossible to hunt down but in the end it was worth it. Now Mantis Boy had a fighting chance against the empire.

‘The empire’ is the name of the huge stone castle fortress that Dark Reign has taken up in. Dark Reign promises the people safety, shelter and nourishment and as a result has amassed a huge gathering. Dark Reign has more than triple the amount of super powered lackeys then we have super powered allies. Not to mention he has found a way to mutate regular humans into monstrous demon like beasts.

Mantis Boy paces back and forth in his cabin, He has to figure out a way to infiltrate the massive empire fortress. It has been over a half a year since his partner was captured and taken; Mantis Boy won’t give up though and is determined to save his friend.

The green bio armored Mantis Boy walks out of his cabin and makes his way over to the fire where everyone else was talking and eating. The fire crackles as Mantis Boy gets closer, the assortment of salvaged chairs ranged from pull out camp chairs to a brown fuzzy love seat that was found in an abandoned house. Mantis Boy makes his way across the grassy dirt covered earth until he stops at an old brown rocking chair. He sits down and holds his hands close to the fire. It was chilly out tonight, although Mantis Boys alien bio armor protected him from any temperature change it was a habit.

I have gathered you all here on this crisp night to ask of you a favor. The world needs a new hope. Me and my partner Chronic Boy are the only two surviving original heroes we have done our best to fight the empire but they grow stronger while we grow weaker. Chronic Boy was captured over five months ago; his power is one of the keys to defending ourselves. I knew I would find more heroes out there, and I now ask you to team up with me to form a new team of heroes for this new world we live in. The rules of the game have changed and the heroes have to change right along with it.

Tyler lets his bio mask melt down revealing his real face. Having been a super hero from the modern era with a secret identity, Tyler still feels strange letting his bio mask down. The world was a different place now.

The onslaught of demon minions earlier was harsh; we didn’t get a chance to introduce ourselves. If you don’t already know, I am Mantis Boy I gained my powers through an alien bio implant in my brain.

Mantis Boy displays a few of his basic powers before continuing on.

Let’s go around the fire introducing ourselves and showing a bit of power.

The fire continues to burn hot as it crackles and hisses consuming the wood and putting off a sweet smoky smell.

Kara sat in one of the pull out chairs, adjusting how she was sitting every minute or so since when she had first sat down it was freaking freezing. She was trying to get warmth from the fire, but she wasn’t sitting very close to it. She was chewing one of her fingernails nervously when Mantis boy came in. Sure, she had been observing the others, but she still had no clue who they were or their abilities, so this introduction thing seemed like a promising idea. Though, she still wasn’t sure she could call herself a hero. When Mantis boy revealed his real face, she wondered once more why her identity should be a secret anymore. After all, everyone seemed to be enemies nowadays. She wasn’t protecting herself from anyone.

Kara slowly undid her own mask and shook out her mass of red hair before she cleared her throat to speak. “I’m Spine… and I’m a mutant,” she spoke in a clear soft voice. The jumpsuit she had designed for herself that she was now wearing had no material between her breasts all the way down until it hit the top of her pants to allow her ribs to come out from her skin. “This is my mutation,” she said, neither proudly or with any feeling as she punched herself in the lower ribs. A crack was heard and her face contorted in pain as a bulge appeared in her exposed skin. Blood began dripping as a clean white bone poked out. Kara grabbed it and pulled out the rib. The broken end was extremely sharp and jagged, and Kara twirled it in her hand for a brief moment like a throwing knife as her rib healed. All of this took less than 5 seconds before she purposely dropped the rib on the floor and touched where the new one had grown.

“This will happen with any bone I break,” she said, looking downwards, towards the fire. She didn’t want to make eye contact and see the disgusted faces she knew must be around her. After all, her power was nothing if not morbid. Her chest where the rib had come out was completely healed and held no scar. “I don’t know if I’m a hero, but I promise to try,” she added, her green eyes glancing over at Mantis boy with a solemn look on her slightly freckled face.

Standing outside the shadows, Jonah Smith gazed at the assembled supers, and shook his head slowly as Mantis Boy lowered his visor. The shadows cast by the fire obscured his form, wrapping around his body like a cloak. "Forgive me, Mantis, but I shall be keeping my mask on. I have known you but a few precious days, and I still cannot be sure if you are friend or foe." He gripped his cane tighter, and a pale purple fire glowed within the empty eyes of the silver skull which topped it. "But a chance to strike against Dark Reign, and to make this world safe again...how could I refuse?" Stamping his cane upon the ground, the shadows flew from Jonah's form, tentacles of darkness lifting him slightly off the ground, revealing the skull mask upon his face, and the purple fires which gazed from out his eyes. As the fire dimmed, he slowly returned to the ground, and the shadows returned around his body. With a small bow, he doffed his hat. "For now, I shall be Hex, lord of shadows and keeper of the old power of Names. And I do hope that I will soon be able to remove my mask."

[FutaNeko0200]

It wasn't until sometime ago that she had been simply showing people where the books were in the library. Now such things were meaningless, replaced with survival, and ensuring the safety of those who needed it. She wasn't a hero who was in the limelight too terribly much, but still known nonetheless. She never made any attempt to hide her identity as she had cut off all ties long ago. It was a bit chilly out but the fire that they sat around was rather warm. She listened to the ones known as, spine AKA Kara, and Mantis boy AKA Tyler. She didn't Mantis Boy to be as he was in all honesty. But now was her turn to introduce herself.

"You may or may not know who I am already, if you don't" She only shifted the armor to her right arm, growing from her bracelet. "I'm Razor Blade A.K.A. Jezika Haribel. I'm strong, fast, durable and agile. But my main power" The claws on her finger's from the armor turned into finger blades "Is my armor. I can make blades that are able to cut through the most durable of materials. I can gain a better defense with more armor along my body" Th armor along her arm reformed back into the bracelet "I'm half demon for those of you who don't know" She showed them the bracelet on her arm "This is what keeps my demonic half in check. I don't know what happens if it were to ever be removed, or broken, but it can't be good." She sat back down, waiting for the others to introduce themselves as they would.

[Kangutso]

The figure covered in metal was closest to the fire, sitting on the ground up against a tree stump. The metal helped to keep him warm especially, since he was so close to the fire. He had his head tilted back watching the stars when Mantis Boy approached and explained why he got them all to come out here. Then the introductions began, using names and powers. Mantis Boy explained his a bit, then it was a girl calling herself Spine that demonstrated a rather strange ability, after her was a man who obviously seemed a bit more of a loner type. Then it was his turn.

"I'm called Metallum," he said in a plain voice, "I have super strength." He demonstrated this by sitting up straight and casually reaching back to pull the stump halfway out of the ground and putting it back in the same spot. "I can also take a hit, and not just because of the armor." He refrained from revealing his identity or what he considered his primary power, he'd like to be able to surprise as many opponents as he could with it before it became common knowledge.

He rested against the stump once more while he waited for all the introductions to finish. Then they would hopefully get some rest or down to business.

[cunfuzzler]

Guardian looked around at the others examining them thoroughly, zooming in on every inch of them, switching between vision modes. Eventually after the man who called himself 'Metallum' spoke Guardian figured they had sufficiently examined the others. "Well, I'm not going to reveal my identity, or any aspect of it now. Or ever, so long as I can help it. As for powers, I have none, I'm just somebody with a fancy suit, a very tough, and powerful suit, but a suit nonetheless. It's not too great now, but I'm always tinkering when I'm not using it.". The voice coming from their suit was clearly synthesized leaving everything about Guardian to the imagination of the observer, just the way they liked it. The less there was known about them, the less there was to be taken advantage of. "I'm not gonna lie, a good part of why I'm not going to reveal anything is because I don't trust any of you as far as I can throw you. Of course I could probably throw most of you pretty far, so I guess bad expression."

Guardian laughed for a moment at their own comment "I guess now I should give a demonstration of my 'power'... so be it." Guardian picked up two rocks from off the ground near them. Gesturing to a tree Guardian zoomed in on a very specific spot on it about ten feet up. Locked on, they allowed the suit to do the rest, throwing the rock with incredible force it lodged itself inside the wood. Then it was time for the second rock, Guardian threw it with just as much force, it hit the previous rock in the tree, cracked and bounced off landing on ground below. It was times like this Guardian wished they didn't wear the suit, they grinned widely below it and spoke once more "Yup, my power is throwing rocks, villains beware!"

[Barsavis]

**Mwoooo….**

A strange deep hum seemed to come from all around and then…

***Fa-boom!!!***

There suddenly came a massive blaze of light and an explosion. A beam of violet plasma lanced out at the base of the tree Guardian had just thrown a rock into. The roots were turned into nothing but singed splinters, but as the trunk began to fall the beam raced up the length turning the rest of the unfortunate organism into more slag. Flotsam rained down on the party, nothing large or heavy because there was very little left to be large or heavy.

"Ha ha ha! Did you see that!?" Scarab laughed. Scarab, a number of people had known her identity and face. She was originally a pretty high up lackey of Dark Reign particularly in the old days. People were relieved to see her go down. She was originally a bit of a renegade, a pirate, only a crazy one wiping out small settlements, set fires to the abandoned cities and rained destruction down on those who ran. She was completely unpredictable. Sometimes clearing out a population before destroying absolutely everything. Sometimes she struck without warning or mercy only to take some minor thing that she wanted.

Then Mr. Impossible took her down, and the raiding stopped and the destruction… sort of stopped. She became a force of goodness alongside Mr. Impossible in the early days.
Dark Reign, however, had expelled her. Perhaps personal ties kept him from chasing after her in force, maybe she knew some trick that kept her alive, or maybe she really was good enough to hold off his army. "Take that, tree! You think you're so bad with that trunk of wood, being all heavy and stuff!"

Her taunting abruptly ended with an uncontrollable wince that caused her eyes to close and her face to turn away. Her hair was tussled, as it looked before she went nuts-o lumberjack on the tree. Her smile slowly returned to her face as she recovered from the neurological tick indicative of someone who had been near ground zero during the pole shift. There was a glint of glee in her eyes, something that wanted to target more trees and more, but instead of running with it she seemed to wake up and settle back down. At this moment she noticed the look on some of the other faces. "Oh, right… um… call me Scarab."

She looked at her destruction and snorted out one more laugh.

[Shoryu]

Falasha was fine sitting on the bare grass and listening to the others, one pair of arms resting in his lap as the other pair held a Cup of hot tea that he occasionally Sipped on while observing the bits of displayed powers and considered what this 'Mantis boy' was suggesting for everyone. 'so, we have an alien bug man, a regenerator, a shadow user, a Half demon.' on which thought he paused and mentioned something to her "Should you're Demon side go out of control, I can attempt to seal it with magic... But Without knowing anything about it the chances of success are limited." The mention of demons being part of one of the 'good guys' urged him to make the possibility of his services be known at least somewhat... Then his thoughts continued on their own 'A Strong man, a Tosser, and... damn that was loud.'

With the rest of the group's Introductions out of the way he decided it was pretty much his turn, He took a nice long sip of his teeth before lifting it up on one finger and causing it to blink out of existence, seemingly anyway. "I am Falasha Vernakahou... Whether that's my real name or not you don't need to know, All you need to know is that I'm here because 'your' enemies wronged me and gave me a reason to be their enemies, you know the saying, enemy of my enemy and all that... I would've been fine with staying out of the way and studying magic if they had just stayed out of my way... As for my powers..." He didn't really want to waste magical energy on a purposeless demonstration, but it could prove useful for them to have an idea of things he can do, plus they were in no real danger at the time so he figured he'd have time to recover what little would be wasted.

He spoke simply after that "Magic" One of his hands took on a visibly blue glow, and with a little wave of his hand materialized a ball of water that then snuffed out the fire in the middle of the group "With no limits except how much energy and knowledge I have." Another hand developed a soft grey glow and a whirling of wind cleaned the heap of ash and half burnt wood from the snuffed out fire and scatter the ashed off on the wind. "It is risky magic however, Without proper focus it could backlash." His other hands took on a dull green glow, and a dull grey one, the next hand motions bringing a few rocks up from the ground to improve the fire-pit in the middle of the group, the Heftier chunks of the tree that was recently blown up levitated over to pile into the pit, as well as those attached to other people now cleaning off and pouring into it. A couple more motions caused the ground beneath the girl that blew up the tree to jerk in one direction to try knocking her off balance and out of the way as the hole began to fill itself back in, then the process that would normally take years brought a tree sprout from the ground growing up into a full tree shortly after.

"If I join you in a fight and ask for a moment to focus to cast a strong spell, trust me, It will be in our best interest if something doesn't manage to punch me in the face, I would much prefer not to set myself on fire or turn someone inside out, or god knows what else." A dull red glow appeared then and with a snap of his fingers the Fire flared up out of nowhere amongst the recently piled in debris, burning brighter and warmer than before, but seemingly calmer and more controlled "I know a sizeable ammount about magic, But I can't claim to know everything, and I can't promise that something won't catch me off guard and cause a problem, though from the sound of things we all need eachother enough to ignore the risks of eachother's powers, correct?"
