I'm having way too much fun with my Legend of Zelda Encylopedia. This is the game that got me into roleplaying so have a lot invested in it's lore and stories. Too bad can't have all the games too.

@The Irish Tree Alright, think that should about do it. Here is the completed version for your approval.


Added what will most likely be the next monster to fight. You will finally have the ability to fight against the clock in a more literal fashion than you're used to.

Location: Angel City, Heaven's Rest Cafe - October 25, Friday
Event: First Meeting


There was something different about about the little miss magical detective, and it wasn't the fact that she was obviously a lot poorer than any of the others. She seemed to be a completely different person from who she was before. "Could it be that her mind itself has fractured due to dimensional distortion? Or perhaps it is just completely psychological and the power fading caused her to revert to a timid mouse?" The Entity thought as she observed her.

Once a person had the ability to attune themselves to the monster's frequency, which gave them the powers to fight, usually the mind, being attuned, also was able to process everything that had happened even after everything was reset by a monster's destruction. In rare cases though, a human mind might not be able to process the information and reject it as soon as their body went back to normal, which created a separate personality between the magical and normal sides of person. Such individuals tended not to be able to function properly as a warrior and usually met a swift end to the monsters. Hopefully this was not the case for the beggar girl.

”Hey. Looks like you want something over there, am I right? If so, pick something and I’ll get if for you this time.”

"Oh? You would be so generous? To realize what I wanted did you receive the power of mind reading as well?" The Entity joked, knowing that such a power was not one the young man had, plus the powers were deactivated for now anyway. "Well then I will not spurn your most wonderful offer! Then I will chooooose...that!" With a flourish it pointed at the brightest baked good that could be seen, a gigantic, cream-cheese and fruit topped tart about the size of a small cake. The tart was absolutely shiny with glaze all over it, keeping the fruit firmly in place on top. The Entity's eyes sparkled, quite literally for a second as she took in all the tart's glory.

While the Entity knew about currency, it didn't exactly take into account the amount of money a typical high school student might be willing to part with, or even have on hand; thankfully there was smaller sized tarts of the same kind nearby if he decided to wimp out.
Just a little time here, then a time skip to an event which will then lead into the next monster phase.

Location: Angel City, Cherubim Park - October 25, Friday
Event: First Meeting


The Entity's eyes twinkled in the darkness as it observed the others. A 'party' was about to form as it were and The Entity was sure to document the upcoming events. There was a bit of a problem however, certain members of the party hadn't dropped their magical forms yet which was a big no-no.

"Now you can't go running around town in those get-ups. You'll drain yourselves of magical energy that way, plus the less people see you the better. Just like those monsters the same rules now apply to you, if you end up using your powers for things other than combat you could cause permanent damage to your own reality. You should be able to change forms at will with practice, but just in case I'll go ahead and change them for you this time." The girl-like being emitted a pulse for a brief moment, which turned off the magic flow in each of their bodies. Those who were transformed returned to their normal selves.

"That's better, now about this Sundae..."


Location: Angel City, Heaven's Rest Cafe - October 25, Friday
Event: First Meeting


The group had headed to a nearby cafe, the Heaven's Rest, to talk and get the young homeless girl something to eat. It was a clean and quaint little place, with white, antique furniture, plenty of lace, and old pictures of the town when it was just starting up. The overall effect was that of a fairly old fashioned home, complete with little wire sculptures fashioned by some local artist. The sculptures were quite varied, from bugs, to birds, and even angels. While the atmosphere was pleasant to the eye, it was the sweets that were the stars of the shop.

Behind the glass counter were cakes and baked sweets that could make a mouth water just by looking at them. Bright colors leapt out at customers with the various colored fruits that topped most of the sweets. Crystal clear and colored glaze could be seen, spread quite liberally over most of the tarts and other items, the owners knew how to make everything look quite enticing. Behind the counter was a chalkboard menu, listing the items and prices for sale, ranging from coffee to ice cream and more. The Entity could feel its mouth start to salivate despite not technically having a real human body.

"It's times like these I wish I were human too." It muttered to itself, resisting the urge to place its face on the glass. While taking on a human form the body was as close to a human as it could get, even the senses could mimic a human's but it was not a perfect replica however so anything the body sensed would be somewhat duller than that of a normal human. In any event even if it did eat, the only way it could get food was by dubious means as it had no money. Sure it could make money but the money would disappear when it got too far away so it would just be a counterfeit and would be stealing from the business. Such action would be exactly the opposite of the thing it had just warned the humans not to do with their powers.

"Well, I'll probably only be able to stay a little bit longer before I have to leave. I suggest you enjoy yourselves for now, shouldn't be another incursion for a while anyway."


Location: Metropolis, Met-U - College Day
Issue #2.06: A Bad Day



A whole lot of things had happened today. Just walking around campus Kara had secretly stopped two purse snatchers, saved a cat from a college driver, prevented a maintenance from falling off a ladder, and foiled a shady character from taking photos on the sly. It was always a challenge to prevent the little things like this without giving herself away with no time to change into her costume. Sometimes she had to move so quickly that nobody noticed, but of course she wasn't exactly the Flash so she could really only do that when the problem was very close by or people would notice. Aside from the speed issue, it did terrible things to her wig so she had to be very careful to keep that in place. Usually she had to find some indirect way to intervene, like a quick puff of her lungs to support a ladder, or a well aimed penny to break a camera. For some reason a lot of these little things had piled up today.

Helping out like that was usually not a big deal but today she had been trying to fit in some extra study time for the test she was currently taking. After everything was said and done, she had only gotten in maybe a solid half-hour of study time between stopping crime, saving lives, talking to friends, and taking other classes. It was rare that such a costume-less day would result in so little time for herself. Kara was not feeling very confident as the test had been passed out as a result. Wracking her brain she tried desperately to remember all the knowledge that had been crammed into it the past week or so. If Kelex knew what kind of troubles she was having, the computer would probably be appalled at how low level it all was.

"Ms. Lane, you're late." The teacher scolded as Lucy Lane held up a hand in apology and slipped into a seat near Kara.

"Sorry, sorry, you wouldn't believe the crowd I had to deal with to get here." Lucy stuck out her tongue and the professor rolled their eyes.

Kara suddenly felt nausiated, throughout her entire life she had never really felt sick, maybe a slight chill when she was younger but nothing like she was feeling now. "W-What is going on?" Kara resisted the urge to gag and she accidentally snapped her pencil her two. The feeling had started almost as soon as Lucy had taken her seat. It had been a long time since she had accidentally put too much pressure on a pencil, but as she was feeling disoriented it was hard to gauge her own strength, but for some reason she felt quite a bit, weaker than usual.

Kara started to sweat, her hands felt clammy, and her vision had started to blur as she continued the test. Why had she suddenly started feeling so terrible? Was there some kind of allergen that she had never encountered before? Kara steeled herself to finish before she could even think about collapsing, but her strength was fading fast.

"Almost there..." As she finished one last problem, Kara collapsed. Kara got a final glimpse of Lucy Lane hovering over her, a strange green stone dangling from her neck before she blacked out.




Kara woke up with a start from her unscheduled nap with a start. She bolted upright and got a quick look around, a college infirmary room. The strange thing was she felt completely fine despite how nasty she had felt earlier. "Ugh, I hope I was able to complete enough of the test in time, I would rather not have to take a make-up exam." Kara grumbled as she swung her legs off of the bed.

A student nurse asked if she was alright and after a quick check up they agreed and let her go. Kara rested her right hand on her chin as she thought about what had happened. She had never felt that way before, even tanking a missile wouldn't have caused her as much trouble as whatever had just happened to her. Before she could think about it more though she was intercepted by Lucy Lane and once again the feeling returned.

"Glad to see you're up and at em Kara! I was so worried when you suddenly collapsed like that but since I was late I had to stay and finish before I could check up on you!" As Lucy grew closer Kara felt weaker and almost stumbled.

"Whoa! Easy there, guess you're still feeling ill after all?"

Kara weakly smiled, "Guess so, but I'm sure I'll be alright." As she had never felt this way before around Lucy, that meant there was something on her that hadn't been there before, the only real guess was the strange green stone. "By the way Lucy, I don't think I've ever seen that kind of stone before? What's it called?" It was taking all Kara had to keep herself upright and her voice steady, thankfully it seemed to be enough to fool Lucy.

"Oh this? It's a little souvenir I got from my crazy little sister. Apparently it came from some meteor rock that crashed on Earth a few years ago. I don't think it technically has a name yet but kind of exciting to know it's not from Earth."

"Is she some kind of rock hound?"

"Na, she's just bored crazy so has been trying out some new hobbies. She got in trouble a year ago and so as punishment, my Dad decided to send her to a small high school out in farm country. Little Lois Lane really knows how to stick her nose where it doesn't belong, just this time she went a little too far and had to pay the price." Lucy grinned, remembering the shocked look on Lois Lane's face when her father had doled out her punishment, her look of despair had a magnificent, platinum frame inside Lucy Lane's head.

"Guess I feel a little sorry for her." Kara tried to sound sympathetic but inside she was silently cursing Lois Lane's name for picking up such a painful hobby to her. "So where was she exiled too?"

"A little town called Smallville, not exactly sure where but I don't think it's actually that far from Metropolis, certainly within driving distance anyway."

"Well I think I better head back to my room for a spell, wouldn't want a relapse." Kara tried her best not to look like she was desperately retreating as she well, retreated back to her dorm room.

"Alright, get some rest Kara!" Lucy yelled before going her merry way, as soon as she was gone Kara breathed a sigh of relief as her body went back to normal. Whatever this rock was, it was going to need some investigating. She would probably need to drop by Kelex's place first though to see what he could tell her about the rock and its affect on her body.
I don't know about ya all but I had a lot of Thanksgiving going on which made it hard to concentrate on anything else. Done now though.
So you guys can have some interaction here first, since a lot of characters have just learned about the others; otherwise I can just jump ahead a bit of time to a normal phase event to give people something to do, or just do their own things until the next monster pops up.

Location: Angel City, Cherubim Park - October 25, Friday
Event: Monster End

Lampooned by its own spike, the Monster gave one last bellow of pain, and then started to disintegrate right before their very eyes. Starting from the worst of its injuries a dark aura spread out over the creature's body and started to evaporate into dark particles. The damage spread and before long, the creature was no more and black and violet colored bubbles littered the dark sky. The Entity, in the form of a girl, walked over to the monster's essence, held up an open palm and the dark particles were sucked up like a vacuum cleaner.

"Glad everyone managed to work together on such short notice. It doesn't always work out so well." With those slightly ominous words, the girl smiled and looked at the new batch of warriors with a discerning eye.

With the monster now completely gone the damage that had been done in the battle reset back to how it was. No longer was there giant holes and tunnels in the ground, spikes in the trees, or claw marks anywhere. Cherubim Park was back to how it was before. The young man who had been crushed at the beginning was quite puzzled as he found himself lying on the ground in the dark.

"When did I fall asleep?" He questioned as he started to push himself off the ground. Before he could get a good look around though, the strange girl intervened.

"Actually you are still dreaming, you'll wake up on your bed soon." The strange girl implanted a powerful suggestion into his mind and with a nod and a mumble, he started walking home in a bit of a trance.

"Good, now we don't have to worry about the general populace. As you can see, once a monster is eliminated all that it has done in this world is wiped from existence, pretty convenient for you guys to be sure. Course if a monster survives for too long such things can become a little more permanent."

She stopped a put a finger to her mouth, and tilted her head as if to question herself. "Hmm I know all this can be a bit much for a human mind so, I'll get the exposition short for now. In summary, you guys have powers to stop these monsters that are starting to appear in your world and if you bag enough of them I'll be able to make your deepest wishes come true? Simple no? I suggest you all get to know each other a little better if you want any chance of winning, the Razorback is frankly nothing more than an overgrown mole after all." The Entity grinned, a rather toothy grin. Just looking at her one could tell she was a bit, 'off', like a marionette rather than a human, which was pretty on point actually since it was merely imitating a human form to be more presentable to the new fighters.


Emily ran as fast as she could, until she was out of breath and leaning against a wall while panting heavily. "Just what was all that?" She managed to mumble while catching her breath and set the picnic basket on the ground. She looked back at where the park was and then, her mind went blank.

Confused she looked around, wondering why she was in a fairly random part of town, it hadn't been that long ago she had been with her friends. For some reason the picnic basket and the guys' frisbee was in her possession. They had planned to walk home together and yet for some reason her friends had left her. There hadn't been a fight or anything that she could remember...just what had happened? Well, she would just have to call them to check.

As she took out her phone her eyes glanced down to the picnic basket and frisbee, at least they would be able to return the frisbee to those guys, if they could find them again. She dialed a number and waiting for one of her friends to pick up.

"Hey what happened to everyone?"
