@King TaiCaptain Supremo dashed away, a true hero always on the prowl for new crimes to halt, new innocents to save. He vanished from sight of the eyes of the people of Grand City... And everyone else in the world too! The good Captain became a twinkle in the sky to those below, but to him he kept shooting up and up and up and up, faster and faster and faster, until finally Captain Supremo broke the atmosphere, flying out into the vast blackness of space! The stars and planets zoomed by at speeds even his senses couldn't detect! Yet he needn't have worried about breathing as he shot around blindly in the black emptiness, for it was as though he had his own internal supply of oxygen. A most peculiar detail, but then what wasn't peculiar about this entire situation?
"Captain Supremo, wowzers golly gee willikers, can I have your autograph sir?" came the voice of what could only be a prepubescent fan. Here, in space? And how could sound move through the vacuum? This situation just got stranger and stranger by the second! Yet the bizarre nature of Captain Supremo's latest adventure only intensified further as what could only be described as a giant space whale, with a tremendous afro, swam through empty space up next to him.
"Greetings Captain!" the space whale announced in the same voice he had heard only moments before.
"I must introduce myself. My name is Crocus, God! Of! Chaos! But that's just a side gig, my real calling in life is as a goat farmer, potion maker, king of the squirrels, king of Five Nights at Freddy's, Loot Crate unboxer, atomic warhead destabilizer, and of course the most satisfying and fulfilling job anybody can imagine, mother of a trio of adorable bears. Now I know what you're thinking. 'Platypus bear? Skunk bear? Armadillo bear? Gopher bear? No, just bear. I know, weird right? But I digress."In an instant the space whale transformed into a man. A man that wore a nice blue suit, red neck tie, carrying a briefcase, but the afro remained. Though the man stood still, looking composed and professional (save for his ridiculous hair), he flew backward just in front of the superhero as Supremo tumbled around listlessly. The man then pulled out a series of 7 DVDs from his briefcase, then levitating toward Supremo. Once close enough, the good Captain stopped tumbling, some invisible force keeping him straight and still. The man then shoved the DVDs down Supremo's throat with more force than even Supremo himself was capable of mustering at the height of his strength. As each one went down, the superhero absorbed their knowledge. In an instant he not only saw entire movies playing out in his head, but he
knew them. An original trilogy, beloved by an entire world, defining an era. A trilogy of prequels, disappointing to say the least. The first of a new trilogy, updated, also loved, a return to greatness. The afro-suited man gave Supremo a smile.
"I decided to spare you the torment of the Holiday Special. No need to thank me, I know I am a generous and benevolent god. You are most welcome. Now here is the deal, Captain Supremo. I'm going to have a little fun with you. I've already recruited four others, and they will be your team. Think of them as your own personal Justice Force, my friend. I send you on missions that I find entertaining, and award you with Favor, with which you can get favors from me. As long as you have enough saved up, as indicated on your Favor-tracker-" A device resembling a beeper manifested on Captain Supremo's belt.
"-You can ask for anything, aaaaanything at all. Except your freedom. That's up to my ever-changing whims. Hehehehehehehehehehehehe! Now you're about to begin your first mission with hte others, hooooold on tiiiight!"The afro-man vanished from sight, but something else loomed forward. A small gray sphere steadily got bigger and bigger as Captain Supremo zoomed toward it uncontrollably, until it was close enough for him to recognize: The Death Star.
@AwesomeZero5@LePouvantail@Stekkmen@Stern Algorithm"Open fire!" Lieutenant Quary cried out as Bruno charged forward with his axe. The troopers around all pointed their metal sticks at the zombie axeman and all at once a barrage of technicolor laser bolts blasted forth from them. Wow, these guys were pitiful shots. Bruno was so beefy, and so close. How were they missing him like this when-Oop, spoke too soon. A single red bolt struck Bruno in the chest, leaving a large, smoking burn in the undead's body. The force of the bolt was enough to shove him back a foot or two, but it could not stop him.
The troopers, giving pause after having shot Bruno, clearly thought that the danger had passed. After all, who keeps coming after a blaster shot right over the heart? Apparently Bruno. The troopers faltering caused the untimely death of Lieutenant Quary as the zombie's axe cleaved down upon the officer's neck. With only a short cry the man toppled over dead.
Benny took aim at one of the troopers and fired with her own side arm, the blaster she found attached to her hip. The skeleton's aim was true (even though she has no eyes, yohohoho! Skull joke!) and a single bony finger pulled the trigger. What shot out was not a condensed plasma bolt, but a little flag with an intricate embroidery of an afro and the word "BANG!" Well. That was useful.
At that moment a tremendous stroke of luck occurred. The open hanger leading out into the dead of space was suddenly invaded by a fast moving object! Said object collided with half of the troopers, scattering them all around like bowling pins, their armor and bones cracking from the sheer force of the collision as they splattered all about. Captain Supremo skid along the hanger floor, bouncing up and down three times before finally hitting the far side wall with a loud
CLANG! A moment later and he was able to take in the scene. A number of stormtroopers were scattered about, broken and dead thanks to the nature of his arrival, but just as many had been able to dodge, or weren't close enough to be hit. They appeared to be in a state of confusion, but quickly found themselves recovering. He was in the hanger of the Death Star. The
Millennium Falcon sat parked nearby, the exit ramp down. Standing on the ramp was a young man of Asian origin wearing a white robe, while at the foot of the ramp stood some sort of axe-toting zombie, covered in brown fur. He could also make out what appeared to be a bang flag sticking out from a blaster pistol, but the figure holding it was just inside the ship, out of sight.
Meanwhile the stormtroopers began to recover and regroup. "Blast-em!" one shouted. Two began firing off at Bruno, while three took and and fired at Captain Supremo, who had just noticed he was not wearing his standard hero uniform, but a plain brown robe. At least he still had his mask.
