<Mark_Sulfur> ::so is driving them to the desert in search of Dark Kat’s evil lair! And, Josiemun right on time, too! XD::
<Shades> (( ::thinking of who to play XD:: ))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((Gracie, Graciemun? XD))
<Joseph_Forge> ::issa riding! holding tight that sword! in the back seat he is!::
<Felony> <Josie>::am I in the caaah?::
<McGrath> <Evil Lair> :: after the destruction of the mainframe, has been mostly abandonned by the military. Is fenced off and has a “keep out” sign, but otherwise is deserted ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::no! you are on tha roof! XD::
<Felony> <Josie>::you would put me there. :P::
* Felony is now known as Josie_Lyons
<Josie_Lyons> ::mebbe Gracie came along too for backup? since she’s miz bomb expert?::
<Joseph_Forge> ::you bet I would! XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::Oh, good! I’m driving one of those all open terrain vehicles!::
* Shades is now known as Gracie
<Gracie> ::Sure >3 I’m doing this for Mark, not you Lyons :P::
<Mark_Sulfur> Well, we’re here. ::as he parks::
<Josie_Lyons> ::okay you and Joe can just eat a stale donut! ;_; ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::will get out of the vehicle! keeping a firm hold on that sword.  looking around at the abandoned base::
<Gracie> ::XD mun razzes Josie. parks and follows Joe a moment, looking around::
<Josie_Lyons> ::gets out of vehicle as well. looking around to what’s left of the place after it got bombed a couple times lol::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::motions to Joe to hand over the sword::
<Joseph_Forge> ::shakes head no to Mark. OMG! He defied him! Isn’t going to just hand the sword over so easilly.::
<Gracie> ::She frowns as she inspects the damage. ::
<McGrath> <Base> :: underground access hole still there. Metal ladder leads down into darkness ::
<Gracie> ::Tilts her head… and chooses to go inspect the access hole. The damage done by the bombs look strange to her and she wonders if perhaps it was the same stuff DK used himself::
<Mark_Sulfur> I need your sharp eye and your backup, Forge. Please.
<Joseph_Forge> I am capable of protecting it myself, Mark.  I can’t let go of this.  I promised to keep it safe.
<McGrath> <Base> :: is mostly destroyed, having survived a self-destruct by Dark Kat years ago, a cyberdemon conflict, and Felony’s destructive actions ::
<Gracie> ::flicks on her flashlight and begins to look around. Kinda wishes she brought a camera XD::
<Josie_Lyons> If you can’t let go of it, then why show up with it at all?  Think you’re going to be some brave knight, Forge? ::goes to the access hole where Gracie’s going to::
* McGrath is now known as _Base_
<Joseph_Forge> ((<fel> What?! Rave Parties are NOT that destructive!  Okay so maybe they did grafiti the walls and the dancing on our computers did sorta mess them up but yeah…..))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::gives him the “please let me do this/that’s an order” mixed look. XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> You have my word – it’ll be safe.
<Josie_Lyons> ((::dead!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((DEAD!!!))
<Joseph_Forge> ::glares at Josie then looks at Mark then at the sword, then at Mark again before slowly handing it over veeery reluctantly.::
<_Base_> :: interior from Gracie’s vantage point looking down is vast, but littered with debris, collapses support frames, etc. Lots of scorch marks ::
<_Base_> :: floor is at least 5 stories down, but the ladder looks like it goes all the way down ::
<Gracie> :goes down the ladder now XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::takes it and ties the scabbard to his back, then gives Joe a gently squeeze on the shoulder before heading down::
<_Base_> <ladder> :: vibrates a little with each step down. Doesn’t seem entirely stable, but manages to hold ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::Will take a deep breath before going down after Mark.:: <We can’t lose this sword.  we just can’t.>
<Josie_Lyons> Careful.  This place is highly unstable. ::goes down after Gracie, carefully::
<Mark_Sulfur> Just don’t sneeze… or laugh… or cough….
<Gracie> ::thinks it’s too bad she can’t trap Josie in here and make the thing collapse on her >.>::
<Josie_Lyons> Or how about talk? ::on edge as doesn’t like being down here::
<_Base_> <Floor> :: once it’s reached, can be seen that it’s littered with debris, pieces of circuit board, spent shell casings, computer monitors, etc. :: <Surrounding Area> :: knocked over support beams and infrastructure create a jungle gym of unsafety ::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::once they get to the bottom:; Charming.
<Joseph_Forge> ::is careful on the way down.  looking around the damage once down to the floor. :: why would he want to meet here? THere’s nothing here. This place is barely safe much less usable for anything.
<Gracie> slap some paint, maybe some disco lights and some perdy curtains this place might sell.
<_Base_> <Voice> This place is far from useless, Agent Forge. :: from the darkness ::
<Josie_Lyons> ::down with the others as well. looks for the source of the voice. knows why he’d want to meet down here… easy to kill/trap ‘em. XD::
<Joseph_Forge> ::perks ears, turning to where the voice came from…he thinks.::
<Mark_Sulfur> We’re here. ::growling::
* _Base_ is now known as Invader
<Invader> :: steps out from the shadows from behind a fallen column, about 20 yards away from them :: Did you bring it?
<Joseph_Forge> ::Sees where he is now. Issa ready to go for his gun if needed.::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::steps forward, but doesn’t remove the sword:: We did.
<Invader> Show it to me.
<Mark_Sulfur> First you show yourself. ::tail twitching::
<Invader> … :: seems to be considering this :: All right, Mark. :: reaches up to his head to remove the concealment ::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::eyes narrow, hands balling into fists::
<Gracie> ::watching::
<Joseph_Forge> :Watching. Still ready to go for his gun just in case…::
<Joseph_Forge> ((<Intruder>::issa old woman:: HA! I showed you whipper snappers I’m not too old to join the MBI!!  ::Shakes umbrella!::))
<Josie_Lyons> ((::dead!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::DEAD!!!!::))
<Josie_Lyons> ::watching as well. wondering ifher suspicions were correct::
<Invader> :: takes off the mask to reveal that the culprit is… Mark Sulfur? ::
<Mark_Sulfur> ((. . . ))
<Invader> :: or at least looks like Sulfur, smiles :: This never gets old.
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Mark> I so am not doing this! >.<))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((<Sage> ::Ready for the unveiling:: Yes. I know who it is! Show yourself, you good for no… WHAT?!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::SOOODEAD!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ((<Rave>::Cackling in the background:: I Told you it wasn’t him! ))
<Mark_Sulfur> My… what a disturbingly familiar guy…
<Joseph_Forge> ::frowns, then looks at Mark, then back at….Mark.:: WHat sort of game is this?!
<Mark_Sulfur> ::dryly::
<Gracie> ::blinks.. hand on her gun::
<Josie_Lyons> Another disguise.
<Invader> A highly amusing one :: faces shifts and distorts, abruptly looks like Josie Lyons in face and figure. Speaks in her voice :: You used to know me. My name is James Kinrak, but you knew me better by the name Dr. Viper gave me. :: changes to look like Forge ::
<Invader> Don’t try to place it, you have no idea. If you survive this encounter, talk to your former deputy mayor.
<Invader> Now, give me the sword.
<Josie_Lyons> Just what use do you have for such a thing, Kinrak?
<Joseph_Forge> ::growling at him, glancing at Mark a couple of times.::
<Invader> This existence is a fluke. A blatant lie that cut me off in my prime. I plan to use the sword to make things right.
<Mark_Sulfur> Sorry. Doesn’t ring a bell.
<Joseph_Forge> The sword can’t do that.
<Gracie> ((<Gracie> It’s you! <James> Yes. <Gracie> You ate all my donuts and exploded my melons before I got to them! ))
<Invader> You have no idea what the sword can do, under the right circumstances. :: starts to walk toward them, changing appearance to look like Jack Spinner :: Your Spinner realized it in his research. So did your McGrath. Once I’m done here I think I’ll stop by and kill him too, just for old time’s sake.
<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL))
<Gracie> ::Frowns the way he says ‘your’ makes her think he’s definately insane::
<Josie_Lyons> ::grits teeth, pulls out gun:: Where is the bomb?
<Joseph_Forge> ((<Joe> Good luck. Many have tried to kill McGrath..but he keeps coming back! He’s like a bad roach problem! <Invader> Hmm…shoulda used Terminex))
<Gracie> (( <James> The same place you hide your sanity at. <Mark> … then we’ll never find it. <Josie> =__= ))
<Mark_Sulfur> So let me see if I get this straight – there was never a “Jack Spinner”. Well, there WAS, but you killed him off before we knew the real thing…
<Joseph_Forge> ::pulls his gun too when the Invader starts to approach!::
<Invader> Spinner’s dead, thanks to you :: smiles at Lyons :: And as for the bomb, there isn’t one. :: walks up to Forge :: Now, give me the sword before you embarass yourself.
<Mark_Sulfur> No.
<Joseph_Forge> ::aims right at the Invader’s head:: What Mark said.
<Gracie> ::takes out her gun and points it at the tom’s head as well::
<Invader> I suppose there are advantages to split universes afterall. The ability to make first-impressions again :: laughs, and reaches towards Forge ::
<Josie_Lyons> No bomb, no deal, Kinrak. ::moves ’round to get a clear shot at his head XD::
<Joseph_Forge> ::pulls the trigger in reaction! isn’t willing to risk him hurting them!::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::winces::
<Invader> :: is shot in the head, a medium-sized hole appearing there, flinches, stepping back :: I didn’t think you had it in you, Forge. :: faces him, the hole quickly sealing closed in a liquid fashion ::
<Gracie> ….. that ain’t right.
<Joseph_Forge> ::doesn’t believe what he’s seeing:: Crud…::stepping back a couple of steps in case the invader lashes out::
<Josie_Lyons> ::eyes widen, gasps at that::
<Mark_Sulfur> This isn’t right…. ::growling::
<Invader> I never liked the name Globulous. Sounded a bit too overly theatric. But, the newspapers insisted back them. :: appears to disolve and revent into a dark colored liquid-like form, shooting out of the neck of the suit and forming a silhouetted figure nearby ::
<Mark_Sulfur> Who…. what ARE you?
<Joseph_Forge> ::Growls:: never heard of you. Apparently you aren’t as famous as you think.
<Gracie> (( <Gracie> Didn’t I clean you out of the sink after David gutted and cleaned those fish? ))
<Josie_Lyons> ((::dies::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((DEAD!!))
<Invader> A bad memory that’s going to become real again. :: forms arms into what appears to be blade-like appendages ::
<Mark_Sulfur> ((<Mark> I do remember Jason having that cold…. didn’t he sneeze you out?))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::Dying!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ::eyes widen and stumbles back again!:: WHoa!
<Gracie> ::blinks, oh no that ain’t good::
<Josie_Lyons> ::grrrs, holsters gun as that’s not going to work obviously.  pulls out onna those bolas and flings it towards Mr. Globbypoo!::
<Josie_Lyons> We need to get out of here onto better ground!
<Invader> :: is hit with the bolo, “arms” getting restrained against himself :: You’ll have to do better :: shifts, allowing it to pass through him and fall to the floor. Enlongates a bladed arm and slashes at the scabbard on Joe so that it releases the sword ::
<Gracie> ::a scheme is forming.. but knows they need to get out..:: Joe!
<Gracie> ::seeing what green slimey is doing::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::actually, he’s got the scabbard. XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> Joe, move it!
<Invader> :: then probably slashes a decent junk of shirt and skin as he doesn’t have it XD ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::eep! scrambles outta the way!  lol! yeah Marks got the sword now.  he handed it over before they got in there.  running outta the way!::
<Joseph_Forge> ::and yowls since he’s doing some chopping! hey man! I like my back fur! I am not a weird one that likes to shave and be a hairless kat!::
<Josie_Lyons> ::backs up trying to think… looks towards what’s left of those computers and all, wondering if this place is getting any sort of power still::
<Invader> :: upon that, turns attentin to Mark :: Hand over the sword, Sulfur, while you still have a hand to do so.
<Invader> <Computers> :: some have an LED on, indicating there’s some power ::
<Gracie> ::grabs up a pipe and swings it towards the invader’s head::
<Mark_Sulfur> How about over my dead body? ::gun aimed::
<Joseph_Forge> ::scrambled out of the way, wincing. pulling his gun again though to aim at Globby!::
<Josie_Lyons> ::moves ’round in search of an open live wire, perhaps severed from something else::
<Invader> :: is hit in the head with the pipe :: <Pipe> :: gets lodged in place :: <Invader> :: shifts mass around to draw the pipe out of her hands and cast it aside, turning to face her, copying her appearance and voice :: You’re new. Sorry we aren’t going to get acquainted :: draws back a Gracie-style arm, and turns it into an edge ::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::fires at his back::
<Invader> <Bullets> :: likely pass right through the invader and into Gracie’s general direction ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::Fires at Globby when mark does too! trying to at least get his attention away from Gracie! issa at a different angle than mark so his bullets won’t head for Gracie..but do dodge Marks! XD::
<Gracie> ::growls, she doesn’t like kats taking her shape… And nuuu no shooty at me!::
<Gracie> ::Will attempt to dodge! Spit!::
<Invader> <Power Source> :: under a pile of concrete, has a high voltage cable lying there, connected to a generator ::
<Mark_Sulfur> Crud! ::finally grabs the sword and charges after Globby::
<Joseph_Forge> Gracie!  Run!
<Invader> :: noting Mark, turns his attention away from Gracie’s pending impalement and faces Mark :: That’s right. Bring it to me.
<Gracie> ::bolts!::
<Josie_Lyons> :;remembering an experiment done on another blobby like thing of shadow, moving as much concrete off as possible to pick up that cable.  needs as much length as possible::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::leaps up and comes down, sword over his head::
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Mark>::goin’ all Kenshin on yo’ booger butt!::))
<Invader> :: is hit with the sword, cleaved down the middle, the sword stopping about halfway through :: <Semi-Halves> :: still imitating Gracie’s apperance, smile at Mark and re-form, trapping the sword within ::
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIIIES!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ::growling, gets up and runs over to try and help Mark! if he may will help him grab a hold of the sword to pull it free!::
<Invader> <Cable> :: is just long enough to reach where Josie’s going ::
<Invader> :: waits for them to both grab onto the hilt, and once they’re firmly grabbing it, starts to spin around rapidly ::
<Mark_Sulfur> GAH! ::hangs on!::
<Joseph_Forge> ::ack! winds up letting go and will fly into a heap of debris!::
<Josie_Lyons> ::huff puffs, finally getting some length to that cord.  looks to where the action is to see how they’re fairing. winces at the sight (of ‘Gracie’ with sword through her). pulls on couple of latex gloves normally used for evidence and making sure to not touch the end of the exposed cable so she no fry herself, takes it up. sees the spinnyglobby, waiting for Mark ‘n Joe to fly off::::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::gets thrown off!::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::and lands on the ground skidding::
<Gracie> ::goes to help Mark up::
<Josie_Lyons> ::rushes towards Globby at a full run, ready to shove that cable end into him for a fryin’!
<Josie_Lyons> ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::just leave me here…I’ll be okay. yes….XD::
<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL!))
<Mark_Sulfur> ‘Highlander’ descendant my left foot.
<Joseph_Forge> ((LOL! Mark!))
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Gracie> Psh, you have Trina to baby you later.  Mark’s got nobody, poor dear.  <Mark> Will you baby me later? <Gracie> No.  I’ve got David to do that for. ))
<Invader> :: once they fall off, reforms into default silhoutte and holds up the sword :: Now, that was amusing, but now I really must be go- :: is hit with the cable and engulfed in electricity as the line shorts. Loses form and turns into a viscios puddle, the sword clattering in the middle of it :: <Electricity> :: still surging through it, keeping the sword inaccessible too ::
<Gracie> (( ::dies:: The mun had to pick one XD… she sorry :P ))
<Josie_Lyons> ::lets go of cable to avoid shock herself, moving back quickly::
<Mark_Sulfur> ((DEAD!!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Gracie> ::Will make sure Joe is alright too XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::goes check on Joe with Gracie::
<Joseph_Forge> ::issa knocking some debris off himself actually. lol! taking his time since Josie has turned that thing into a puddle:: I’m fine. I think….::ignore most of my shirt and that big ole gash on my back. i’ll survive…I have a bio!::
<Josie_Lyons> ::grabs at the cable further down its middle to yank it out of the way away from the puddle of Globulous and the sword::
<Invader> <Pendant> :: missing museum piece can also be seen having flung out. Is safetly out of the electrified puddle on the ground ::
<Invader> <Puddle> :: can be seen starting to reform once the cable is removed ::
<Mark_Sulfur> Crud, Joe…. ::to Gracie:: Get ‘im outta here.
<Gracie> Get the sword, Joe. We need to get the heck outta Dodge
<Josie_Lyons> ::slowly approaches, wondering if the sword’s safe to touch yet::
<Mark_Sulfur> <Sword> ::I’m just lying there. XD::
<Joseph_Forge> I’m fine. ::growling a bit, getting up to go get that sword before he reforms fully!:: grab it, Lyons!  YOu’re safe with those gloves on and your rubber soles on your shoes!
<Josie_Lyons> ::hurries over and takes the sword up then rushes towards the exit:: Get to the ladder!
<Gracie> ::bolts towards the ladder now!::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::helps Joe up!::
<Invader> :: begins to reform into default silhouette. Makes a motion like he’s cracking his neck :: Ah… :: turns attention to them :: I was going to play nice, but now it looks like I’ll have to kill all of you.
<Joseph_Forge> ::issa helped! hurries to the ladder and hurries up it after the ladies!::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::pushes Joe up:: Get going! I’ll catch up! ::fires at Globby::
<Joseph_Forge> Mark! No heroics! Get your tail up here now!  ::will try to reach down and help him up once he gets mostly up!::
<Mark_Sulfur> Just go! ::wants to serve as a distraction::
<Josie_Lyons> ::brandishing the sword lol waiting for Gracie ‘n Joe to get up thar first. standing next to Mark::
<Gracie> ::is rapidly going up the ladder now!::
<Invader> :: while being shot at, reverts into a liquid form and surges forward, spiralling around to bypass Mark and barrel into Josie ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::scrambles up to the top and turns back to look down the hole:: Mark! Josie! Hurry!
<Josie_Lyons> :;eyes widen, moves to the side!::
<Mark_Sulfur> <Sword> ::does the glowy thing!::
<Gracie> (( <Joe> Oh no.. there are Ringwraiths close by. Sting tells me so! <Mark>::sighs:: ))
<Invader> ((::dies::))
<Josie_Lyons> ((::busts up!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::gets in front of Josie, working as a shield::
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Gracie> ::looks down the hole.. Oh crud:: … Come on!
<Invader> :: goes past Josie then, reforming into a silhouette anew. :: NSA Director. What did you crash into to get that position?
<Josie_Lyons> ::backing up, noting the sword doing that glowy thing again like she saw in Joe’s office::
<Josie_Lyons> Mark… ? :;don’t tell me I’m seeing things like Joe did either! XD::
<Gracie> (( <Josie> Oh pretty easy. Mark killed the old Director out of a act of love for me. <Mark> …. Keep telling yourself that. ))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::pulls Josie behind him:: Get away from her! :not paying attention. XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Josie_Lyons> ((:;dies!::))
<Invader> :: forms arm into a whip-like appendance, and flings it forward, the tendril likely wrapping around Mark’s neck ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::lays down onna ground now, aiming down the hole at Globby and wil fire at him to try and distract him again from the others::
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Globby>::gets a headache from alla those bullets in the head::))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIES!::))
<Josie_Lyons> Mark no! ::mrrs moves ’round between them to try and slicey that tendril’s arm::
<Invader> <Tendril> :: is severed and goes flying back, releasing Mark. The part that’s still around his neck disolves ::
<Mark_Sulfur> GAH!!!!!! ::gasps for breath::
<Invader> <Surrounding Structure> :: likely vulnerable to explosives ::
<Josie_Lyons> ::tries to swing ’round lol sword is a bit heavy most likely, trying to choppy through Globby’s head that’s gettin’ fired at from above::
<Mark_Sulfur> <Sword> ::does the glowy thing again. Globby may experience some sort of tingling/firey sensation::
<Invader> :: is hit with the sword, and experiences said sensation. Reacts poorly with that hit, and is sent flying by the hit, crashing into a conrete support column ::
<Joseph_Forge> ::blinkies! ceasing his fire, noting the reaction Globby had.  Will snap out of it in a sec:: Mark! Josie! come on while he’s down!
<Josie_Lyons> ::starts for the ladder! gets up on it, going a bit slower because she’s got that heavy sword::
<Mark_Sulfur> <Sword> ::no more glowy!:: <Mark> C’mon! ::grabs the sword and resheaths it. Starts to scramble upwards::
<Joseph_Forge> ::will help the two out of the hole!:: Up you go. Lets get out of here! ::standing once they both are out and heads for the vehicle!::
<Gracie> ::let’s make with going XD.::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::runs towards the vehicle, yes::
<Joseph_Forge> ::runs and gets in!  watching carefully to make sure he doesn’t reappear.::
<Josie_Lyons> ::lets Mark have the sword and all, with help from Joe, exits hole and runs towards the vehicle::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::turns the key and drives them on outta there!::
<Gracie> ::running. she rather not think about that slimy thing coming after them::
<Invader> :: starts to recover, and makes his way up the ladder in an almost sliterhing fashion, reaching the top ::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::after Gracie and crew get in. XD::
<Gracie> ::Thank you mark @_@::
<Joseph_Forge> ::sighs, glad they are away from that place.::
<Josie_Lyons> This is pointless you know.
<Josie_Lyons> ::says as they are driving off::
<Gracie> How is it pointless?
<Josie_Lyons> He knows who we are, where to find us, he’ll continue to come for the sword.
<Invader> :: gets there just in time to see them drive off, smirks :: All right, we’ll do this the interesting way. :: turns away, disapearing from sight ::
<Joseph_Forge> He’s going to have to fight for it again. ::leaning forward in his seat.::
<Mark_Sulfur> We worry about that later. Forge needs medical right now. ::drives them off!::
