Behind the crossed obsidian blades you see the eyes of Black Beetle narrow, anticipating your next move.

Your grip tightens around the Omega Beam Katana, the crimson sword humming as energy vibrates the sharp metal.

One of you has to make a move, for this stand off has been going on for far too long!

Should you make the first strike, or allow him to attempt an attack first?

A: Rush forward like a mad dog and overwhelm him! You're quite confident in your speed in strength compared to his.

B: Make a calculated approach, feinting a overhead cut only to deliver a much more crippling blow!

C: Wait for him to strike, and find an opportunity to counter from there!

D: Who says you need to approach? Carve a wave of Omega Energy and send it his way!

E: Try to throw your sword at him as a distraction, then lunge at him and attempt to grapple him!

You swiftly approach, your blade held high as Black Beetle raises his arms anticipating the downward slash.

Just as your arms swing towards his helm, you quickly pull the blade back to your shoulders and prepare to thrust it through him!

The sword strikes like a scarlet bolt of lightning, but despite your cunning sword play Black Beetle just barely reacts in time to revert one of his arms and catch the tip of the sword in a clenched fist!

The blade rattles in his grip as you try force its way through, the Omega Energy discharging in his hand and causing his face to tense up as he tries to redirect your strike!

He's suddenly able to overcome out and lifts you off your feet by the blade itself, flinging you across the room!

You're able to land on your feet and dig your boots into the azure panels of the floor, sliding from the force of the throw until you're finally stopped by a wall hitting your back.

Letting out a grunt, you're forced to double over from the sheer force of his throw, only to look up and see Black Beetle taking advantage of your state to leap in the air with both of his serrated arms ready to cleave you apart!

A: Roll under him! See if you're quick enough to avoid his attack and strike the scarab on his back!

B: Block the attack and try to kick him the abdomen to get him off you! It's probably your safest option.

C: Use his momentum against him! Thrust your blade forward once more and let him impale himself!

D: Javelin toss your sword through his stomach! That'll teach him to try such a bold attack!

E: Let him hit you. Your armor is probably strong enough to tank the blow, and then you can really put the hurt on him once he's too close for comfort!

F: Change to Raijin! It might serve this fight better!

You press a hand against the wall and push yourself off, gaining some momentum as you tactically roll under the lunging Black Beetle!

You transition out of your roll with your feet already prepared to spring off the ground once more, your legs shooting forward in a mad dash to strike at his vulnerable backside!

At first glance, the massive bug-like apparatus on his back looks like a big bullseye, but first impressions are often misleading.

The scarab shifts its form, opening up to reveal a rectangular section of blue light beneath its mold!

The opening puzzles you for a moment, but its purpose is made evidently clear as its brightness intensifies and erupts in a haze of energy as it fires something at you!

Instinctively you slash your sword in the path of the projectile, a splash of red sparks flying off the oncoming object as your sword cuts clean through it!

Your eyes catch the shape of the separated halves of what was fired at you, and it seems to be... A staple?!

Before you can make sense of it, more of the onyx staples fire rapidly form the Beetle's back canon, overwhelming you as you quickly swipe and cut away at the hail of gunfire!


Sparks rain onto the floor between you both, doing your best to repel this counter attack while matching your swings with the speed the shots! It looked so much easier in the movies, but doing it in the real world makes you feel like your arms are going to cramp!

Before that has a chance to happen, the staple canon shifts once more, turning and rising out of the to form a cylindrical shape!

The lower half begins to morph into a barrel of some kind, and soon you realize exactly what it is when a blue flame ignites from the opening!


A torrent of searing hot flames are thrown in your face as Black Beetle's thruster activates, dousing your armor in flames and obscuring your vision as he jets away from you!

Your armor can handle his heat, but your vision cant say the same. Black clouds of smog and drifting fire surround you, forcing you to remain on the defensive as you search for your opponent.

Soon your eyes catch a glint of a blue light shining brightly beyond the hot fog, its shape increasing as the dark clouds begin to clear.

Your also ears pick up on the loud humming in the direction of the light, its volume and pitch growing as seconds go by.

A irritated growl escapes your clenched teeth as your body seizes up, having witnessed what the light is...

[continued in the next post!]

>>2490592
Black Beetle's arms have now merged to form a massive cannon over his chest, and you've been staring down the barrel of it!

It looks like that high pitched humming was from him charging up the blast he was going to fire in your face, but maybe there's still time to fight back against this!

Clenching the hilt, you keep your sword at the ready as you quickly try to plan for the next attack!

A: You're holding a beam katana! Surely you can cut your way through whatever he throws at you!

B: RUN RUN RUN!

C: Shift to Raijin form and fire your own Omega Energy at him! You'll win this battle of beams!

D: Shift to Oni form and bolt blink behind him! He can't hit what he can't see!

E: See if you can transfer some power into your sword, then toss it into the glowing barrel of the canon! It might destroy it!

You smirk behind your mask, stabbing the blade into the ground as you double check the power gauge on your HUD.

Still at maximum. You've done well to conserve it while tearing through this place.

“Really? That's how you want this to go?” You smugly ask, raising your arms to your sides.

You feel like now's a good time to up the theatrics, given what you're about to do

“That armor is versatile, but it's nothing compared to THIS!”

You make an X with your arms in front of your face, doing a cross-slash motion with them as you swipe your left hand across your waist.

“Black Rider Shift! CHANGE FORM: RAIJIN!”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOK-1IG-j68&t=1s

“RAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIJIN!” Your belt cries as lightning begins to fire off from the buckle, drowning the shape of your body in a electronic storm of Omega Energy!

Your arms split into a second pair rising towards your shoulders, spreading at the apex of their emergence to give you a godly appearance as you emerge from a dense aura of red!

“You should feel honored! I don't go to all this trouble for just anybody!” You taunt him, really hamming up the villainous performance as Black Beetle's glare only intensifies.

“I'VE GROWN TIRED OF YOUR PRATTLING, MEAT! DIE!!” Black Beetle roars, a thunderous bang echoing from his canon as it fires the massive ray towards you from the other side of the room.

You just chuckle, your hands converging over your solar plexus. From each palm extends a coil of red electricity, forming an X between the quartet of nightmarish hands.

The energy crackles and expands, the bolts soon growing into beams, then finally forming a ball once they've gotten enough mass focused on the singularity point you've created.

Half of your energy reserves have been channeled into this, so it had better work!

Your arms tremble as you try to move the massive cluster of energy behind your waist, getting into a cliché pose for firing this sort of attack.

“TRY THIS YOU ARROGANT ROACH! MASSIVE OMEGA BEAM!”

You almost lose your grip on the energy as you call out to Black Beetle, but you have to make sure your enemies know the names of your special attacks before you throw them out there!

Your arms strain as they drag the cluster to your front, but they are soon relieved as you launch the energy forward into Black Beetle's beam moments before it hits you!

Your crimson mass of power effortlessly tears through the canon's energy, the Omega Beam swallowing his blast as it rocket towards a shocked Black Beetle!

“GAAAARGHHH!!!!” Black Beetle cries out as the energy crashes into his chest, pushing him through the rooms wall and violently zigzagging as it carries the giant insectoid away!

[Continued in the next post!]

>>2490884


You concentrate the beam with subtle motions of your fingers, estimating on exactly where and how far it will send Black Beetle throughout the ship. The only confirmations of the damage its dealing come from the ship rumbling and suddenly jostling as the beam forces your opponent through multiple walls and floors of the shift.

“A little more to the right... Aaand here!”

You guide the beam back towards you, with Black Beetle still keeled over on the beam's point.

His armor has been torn to shreds, exposing a pale green flesh stained with purple blood beneath the ripped exosuit.

As he's sent towards you, you raise both of your right arms and cock them back, delivering a double barreled punch tho the back of his head!

The beam flares one last time before dissipating, a torrent of smoke rising from Black Beetle's abdomen from presence there.

Black Beetle exhales a agony filled gasp, falling to the floor face first with a massive thud after receiving the brutal blow to the back of the head.

“Hmph. Now that he's been dealt with, I guess I should find Lobo...” You mutter to yourself, disregarding the insect as you try to walk towards the elevator your +1 was sent through.

“It's... Not... OVER!!!”

“Hm?” You wordlessly question, looking back over your shoulder to see a wincing Black Beetle rise to his feet and hold his burnt stomach in pain.

Seeing him from the front now, you notice half the armor on his face has been ripped off, showing a featureless appearance.

“I'm not letting you walk away, meat! I'LL TEAR YOU APART EVEN IF I DIE TRYING!”

A: “Okay, fine, suit yourself.”

B: “Hey if that's what you want, but can you tell me where your boss is first? I really need to get home.”

C: “Look, I'm going to give you a break here since you're still standing after getting hit with that. This whole fight is nothing but a PR stunt for my people. If you want to get out of this alive, find one of the holes you made and fly away. Forget... Whatever this and train to get revenge on me or something.”

D: Just ignore him, keep walking towards the shaft.

You sigh, getting in a fighting stance once again.

“Okay, fine, suit yourself.” You dully accept his wishes, rolling your eyes under your mask.

Black Beetle just grunts and growls in pain as he tries to shift his armor into weapons once again, but his scarab seems to suffering as much as he is.

“I will not... Die... To a human...” He declares through ragged breaths, finally managing to create a blade with one of his arms.

“Don't worry, keezball!”

A familiar voice calls out behind you, followed by the ear-splitting pop of his rugged blaster!

Black Beetle is hit dead center in the face, and judging by the splatter of purple and green bits that land behind as he falls, there isn't much of it left.

You turn to see a grinning Lobo, inhaling the gun smoke from the burnt barrel of his hand cannon and exhaling smoggy sigh.

“Cuz The Main Man's gonna fragg you instead!” He finishes his statement to Black Beetle, causing you to plant your face in all four of your palms.

“Dude... You're supposed to deliver that stuff BEFORE you blow their head off. He doesn't have ears now, so who's supposed to listen to that crap, me?”

“Awh, can it ya friggin' geek.” Lobo waves you off, holstering his gun as he walks past you to eye the fresh corpse.

“What matters is I heard it, and I thought it was good... Hey, how come you didn't do this light show earlier? It actually looks intimidatin', unlike the clown outfits you change into every five minutes.” He condescendingly asks, pointing to one of the smoldering holes you created.

“Because it takes a lot of my own power to do something like that. Can we get this over with now? My daughter's been left alone for too long.” You answer, folding the arms across your chest.

“Yeah yeah, twinkletoes. We'll get this done in time for you to read a bedtime story... Let's rock.” Lobo waves you off as he pokes his head through the most recent hole in the wall, casually stepping through it with you following close behind.

Yep, you read that correctly! I'll be able to resume questing tomorrow since I don't think I have any plans! I think it's a good idea since I botched running on time, and some anons are off playing Yakuza 6(I hope!) So hopefully I can run things much smoother tomorrow!

Wait couldn't we have absorbed the reach tech suit? We should really do that

>>2491127
That's what I'm hoping we can do, especially since Reno expressed interest in Blue Beetle's Scarab. Here's an opportunity to get a closer look without the guilt of ripping out some kid's spine.

Ooh, ooh, what if we use Black Beetle's Scarab to make knockoff scarabs for our Royal Guard, so they can have Henshins of their own!?
Any good group of minibosses gets a mid-season upgrade to mirror the heroes, after all.

>>2491157
Not to mention we might get a whole new form of the black reach scarab. If not, at least the converted tech will be really useful.

>>2491234
We should have Amazo scan it too, to see if he can replicate it.
An Amazo that can copy Scarab powers, what could go wrong?

You're left standing next to the headless body of Black Beetle, looking over the scarred armor still covering him.

"It'd be a waste, wouldn't it?" The sinful tone of Majin's skitters into your ear.

"Such a impressive piece of technology with none left to enjoy themselves... It'd truly be a shame if we were to let it burn with the ship."

You narrow your eyes. Majin has a point, but you really hate how he gets it across.

A: Assimilate the Scarab.

B: Take the Scarab, but save it for later. Maybe you could get this thing researched and find a new use for it.

C: Leave it. You don't care about Majin's thirst for power, you just want to get this over with.

Dont assimilate unknown technology when they have mind control components. Thats being stupid.

>>2494183
But you could just analyze it through us though, absorbing it won't make research impossible.

>>2494188
We don't know about that in character though. But then again absorving any strange tech should be something we need to be always on the look out for.

>>2494050
>A: Assimilate the Scarab.

>>2494193
It would just put us at risk of compromising ourselves. The Reach are all about subsuming hosts with Reach programming. Do you really want to take that risk solely on impatience?

>>2494193
I don't know if thay's how it works. Besides it's ill advised to just absorv any piece of tech you find lying around.

Anyway this seem like a roll to see how much of the scarab we take out intact or a roll to resist the reach brain washing.

>>2494196
Ah, but we DO know that blue beetle had control problems, so we have an inkling that its dangerous tech.

>The Reach are all about subsuming hosts with Reach programming.

i don't think Reno knows about that. Anyway it will be funny if the lanterns come after us (because they have a deal with the reach) and try to get the scarab back because we could easily find out about the brainwashing program.

>>2494050
>B: Take the Scarab, but save it for later. Maybe you could get this thing researched and find a new use for it.

I don't want to be a bug puppet.

>>2494210
Oh yeah i forgot about that. Then i guess that's a pretty solid reason to not get it into our system.

Also may i ask? When did we became a tech geek colecting pieces of tech? Not complaining just asking and also who has a better and cooller space bike? Us or Lobo?

>>2494223
I mean, Reno's always been gathering tech. From the bike, to the belt and suit, to Brother Blood, to our sis and even Amazo.
It's not surprising he'd have an interest in tech.

>>2494050
>B

You kneel and tuck your arms over the massive body, flipping him on his back to expose the Scarab.

“Let's see...” You think to yourself, standing back up and looking the apparatus over.

With all the intelligence you can muster, you deliver a swift kick to the to the side of the alien device!

“What on Earth are you doing?!” Majin angrily questions, flabbergasted by your actions.

“I'm trying to remove the thing without breaking it!” You explain to the nagging fatherbox, but all you get in return is an annoyed grumble.

“You're assimilating the blasted thing! Just rip it apart and devour its savory components!” He snaps up at you.

“No I'm not. I'm gonna keep it around and see if I can do cool stuff with it later.” You explain matter-of-factually.

“Dammit Reno! If you want this galaxy to suffer by your hands you must-”

“Consume all that I can blah blah blah... Just go back to being quiet while get this thing off.” You blow him off, winding your leg back to give the apparatus another kick.

The second kick seemed to be enough, as the overall size and structure of the scarab start to recede.

You watch as it now takes the form of an actual beetle, albeit a rather large one. With Black Beetle's body exposed, a shiver goes down your spine as you watch the Scarab's legs retract from his green flesh, leaving behind six holes behind.

“Nasty little thing...” You remark as you carefully scoop the bug up in your hand, keeping in on its back as its legs squirm frantically.

It's a good thing this form comes with an extra set of hands, as you're able to keep a firm grip on it while still being able to defend yourself if need be.

Now that you've got the scarab, it's time to catch up with Lobo.

[Continued in the next post.]

>>2494240
I guess we have a little bit of tech geek in us. Although we are better in smashing stuff rather then building things. Also i kinda want to plug in the ships main computer and copy schematics and any other cool stuff they may have in their databanks. Such as messages and other things to blackmail the light.

After traveling a short distance and admiring the holes you created with your omega beam, you find Lobo leaning up against a wall adjacent to a rather large door.

“What took ya?” He asks, idly swinging his chain as you approach.

“Had to pick something up. Where does this lead to?” You respond, jabbing a thumb at the door.

“Shhh, listen...” He replies.

You give him a puzzled look for a moment, then your ears pick up on the sounds of a man and a woman having a heated argument behind the door. From the sound of thing, they seem frightened and desperate, probably aware of the imminent danger approaching them.

“That's our guy and their scientist peeing themselves in there. Now, the Ambassador worth something alive, but worth enough dead. If you want to make sure this whole deal with your guys stays quiet, we can just go in and fragg 'em all to bits. Your call, basitche.”

You hold your chin, thinking it over.

A: “Just let me talk to him. I always offer my enemies a choice before my actions.”

B: “I'll let you cash him in. Maybe you could use that money to get your niece a present, yeah?”

Guys he said next vote. No need to vote more A already won.

>>2494529
The ambassador is the leader of the invasion forces and the scientist researches metahuman potential. Basically they're cunts who torture humans until they die or develop superpowers.

>>2494529
I have no clue if they have a relationship with brother eye

You hold up a hand to Lobo.

“Just let me talk to him. I always offer my enemies a choice before my actions.”

“There ain't no way you're given them geeks a way out. I got a bounty on the line!” Lobo tells you sternly, his yellow teeth clenched.

“I'm not giving, I'm offering. If you want money I'll write you a check. If things don't go accordingly, you're free to... Fragg, I guess.”

Lobo grumbles at your response, but calms himself as he leans back against the wall.

“I'm givin' you five minutes of The Main Man's precious time to waste.”

You nod, hitting a panel next to the door and causing it to slowly slide apart and give you access.

“I don't give a damn how valuable your research is! If the Lanterns would to see a shred of it we're as good as dead anyway!”

You're finally getting a good look at the squabbling insects, but only one of them seems to be looking at you.

Staring at you with a horrified expression behind an amber veil is what you can assume is the woman, dressed in magenta robes and a tall white collar.

In front of her is most likely the male and ambassador, his similar azure-clad torso shifting to see what has his ally so frightened.

“... The Warrior failed. We are doomed...” The female quietly utters, backing into a control console of sorts.

The room appears to be the bridge of the ship, showing two rows of computers and navigation systems parked in front of the ship's main window.

The room seems entirely abandoned except for the two in front of you. Looks like everyone either jump shipped or died.

“... So this is Tamaran's king. Doing dirty work for Earth's masters.” The Ambassador insults, venom dripping from his words.

“At least I will die knowing your race might be subjected to the same fate!”

His mad barking only makes the woman behind him appear more frightened, her eyes shifting back and forth between you two.

A: “Look, I'll cut to the chase. You can die as Reach, or you can live as Tamaraneans. You get what I'm saying or do I have to spell it out for you?”
B: “Oh? And what exactly is going to happen to us?”

C: “You, woman. What are you? The queen or something?”

D: “Nevermind, that was a poor choice of words. Lobo!”

E: “And who exactly are my Earth masters?”

You cock an eyebrow at the Ambassador's words.

“Oh? And what exactly is going to happen to us?”

He flashes a desperate smile to go with a forced laugh.

“I stood where you once were, and now I, an intelligent ruler of an advanced colony of planet harvesters, am surrounded by dead men and traitors! You are just as replaceable as I, and I wish I could be there to see you fall as I have!”

“... Okaaay.” Is all you can really respond with in the face of this bug's mad ramblings. Look's like he's lost it, making him worthless to you.

“You, woman.”

The woman's eyes go wide as your attention focuses on her, wary of what you may ask.

“... Are you the queen or something?” You ask.

She seems dumbfounded by your question, as if it's something hard to process. Perhaps she had been expecting worse assumptions to be made.

“I... I am the Scientist. I was conducting research on the meta gen-”

“Yeah, yeah that's all I need.” You rudely interrupt her, raising the scarab held in one of your hands.

“I'm actually going to need a scientist who can explain this thing to me and help me exploit it for greater use. You want the job, or do you want to go down with the ship?”

“Pah!” The Ambassador scoffs.

“As if we would be so desperate to ally ourselves with meat specimens. Did you actually think-”

He's quickly interrupted by the Scientist shoving him aside and hurrying over to you, a white gloved hand over her chest as she tries to calm the fear that had once lurked in her.

“You... You would serve him?! AND LET ME DIE?!” The Ambassador raves at the scientist, but a much colder demeanor washes over his former ally.

“I serve my research, and you were threatening to erase it all to save face for the Lanterns.” She answers, a from hand placed over an amber datapad attached to her waist.

“But they're just meat! Mere test subjects to you and I!” He pleads, but once again his words do not reach her.

“They're also alive. Goodbye Ambassador.” She bids farewell in an icy tone.
“Well, now that that's settled. LOBO!” You call out to the opened doorway as you usher your belt to open up a boom tube.

As the bright tunnel begins to open up a way for you and the Scientist to retreat, a smirking Lobo appears from beyond the doorway, his knuckles cracking like fireworks as he steps in.

“Hehehe, you left a present for me...” He taunts, preparing to toss the chain and bind the Ambassador.

The lone insect looks like he soiled himself once Lobo emerges, bruising your ego somewhat that the bounty hunter's terrifying reputation exceeds your own.

Honestly our rolls have been embarrassingly shit lately, I would like to go back to d20s at this rate.

We've never used d20's, it's always been d100's.

>>2494983
Really, coulda sworn we did that at some point? Eh, still better for how are rolls are going regardless.

>>2495000
We've had plenty of successes to go with our failures. You're complaining about a mediocre roll.
There's no reason to change dice systems now.

It's been a while since you got the lone survivor of your assault back at the tower. You didn't stay around to see if Lobo lacerated, obliterated, or even disemboweled the Ambassador. You've got actual business to attend to, so you just left with a warning for Lobo to knock the next time he shows up.

Now it's two hours until the next Metabrawl, and you're sat with the Scientist in the cabaret room while the band does a sound check. Around you various Tamaranean girls and guards are hustling about, preparing for tonight's guests and for any trouble that might come tonight. You imagine Umi had words with security teams after the last infiltration.

You're dressed in your suit now, sat at a table across from the female insectoid as she curiously looks around the room. Despite her cold and calculated front, she seems overwhelmed by everything happening around her, let alone the circumstances that brought her here.

Maybe you should break the ice or something.

A: “So... You got a name?”

B: “You said something about studying meta-somethings earlier, right?”

C: “Hey, tell me about the scarab. Would it be possible to, I dunno, configure and produce more of these?”

D: “Uhh, that wasn't your entire race on that ship, right? Because I'm already getting scrutinized for some unfortunate circumstances involving the late Drenthaxians...”

E: “I'm curious. What's this Lantern agreement you were arguing over back there?”

“So... You got a name?”

Your sudden question makes her jump slightly, but she quickly composes herself.

“As I told you, I'm the Scientist.” She responds, laying her white hands flat on the table.

You let out a small chuckle at her answer, looking around in confusion.

“Uh, yeah. What's your name though?” You restate your question, only to be shot an annoyed glance.

“... You're shitting me. Scientist is your name?”

“I am not defecating you, whatever that expression may mean. The Reach are, or were, identified by their titles. Ambassador, Scientist...”

She looks to the dormant obsidian scarab on the table between you both, her eyes shutting her eyes for a moment.

“... Warrior. Your purpose if far greater than any superfluous name, king.”

“Hmph.” You mumble, pursing your lips as the gears in your head start turning.”

“... I'm gonna call you June. Y'know, like a Junebug.”

The Scientist, now going by June, raises an eyebrow at the name you've granted her.

“... Gratitude. I suppose it would be meaningless to keep Reach standards now, especially now that we've been exposed by you. Any Reach in this system will soon be rounded up by the Lantern Corps no doubt.”

“Yeah that reminds me, what's this Lantern agreement you were arguing over back there?” You ask.

She shows a small smile.

“It seems you were not aware. Long ago, The Reach was considered the most dangerous race in the galaxy. The rate at which we harvested and assimilated life on planets was catastrophic to say the least, and it took the entire Green Lantern Corps to try and stop us. Rather than wipe out our entire race, we made a treaty to never harvest a planet again, otherwise we would face sever punishment.”

“So, us destroying your ship to make us look like Earth's defenders...” You start to deduce, only to have your theory confirmed by her rather quickly.

“Is enough to incriminate us all, yes. A mother ship invading a planet directly as we did, well, there's no way to make it look harmless.”

“Yikes. Well, smart move joining the winning team, I guess.” You blankly respond.

“Gratitude.” She thanks you with a small nod.

“Anyway, onto this scarab...” You segue, pointing to the mechanical bug on the table.

“Is there a way to, y'know, configure and produce more of these?”

“You were right to acquire me, as I am one of the only ones capable of such a task. However, I do not understand your request to reconfigure. The damage done is minimal, would it not be easier to have me repair the scarab?” She questions, taking the scarab and inspecting it.

“Yeah, but that's not what I'm asking. I need you to make it less... Invasive. No one here will volunteer to attach a space bug to their spines, so maybe you could make it work more like my fatherbox?”

June is silent for a moment, still carefully analyzing the scarab before she finally responds.


[End in the next post!]

>>2495548
Noo it's ending!!

>>2495548
>Junebug
cute

>>2495517
I doubt we need to do that, she's clearly defected from the Reach. She's basically a guest of the king of tamaran and under his protection, so at worst the Lanterns could say "she's your problem now" without starting a fight.

>>2495548
“It's... Possible, given the right equipment. Your fatherbox is the most advanced hardware I've seen on this planet, so I'm worried Earth tech might be too... Primitive for such a procedure.”

“What about Tamaranean tech? Hell, we probably got gizmos from other planets too lying around somewhere.”

June chuckles darkly.

“You have captured my interest. Regardless of success I will enjoy this task. Tell me, do you plan to arm your armies with these?”

You shake your head, showing a big smile.

“Nope! I got a couple guys in particular that I want to deck out in gear like mine! I mean, if you can make it look like my Power Rider armor! Oh man, just thinking about posing with them in matching outfit has me all excited! Wait until you meet them, they-”

“Erhm, excuse me, boss?”

Before you can finish gushing to the now disinterested scientist, you're interrupted by the Oni bartender who should be prepping his mixing station.

“What's up? Is there trouble?” You ask, showing a concerned look.

“I... I'm not sure. There's a scary lookin' chick who wants to see you.” He reluctantly informs you.

“She goes by Miss Black or somethin'. Does that mean anything to you?”

Oh. She is not allowed to talk around Rena, then. At least all of Lobo's swears are nonsense space-swears.

>>2495596

>>2495635
The latter!

>>2495639
What is wifey up to?

>>2495639
Ah, so she has an idea of what we're capable of, good! That means she knows what'll happen if she tries to betray Reno.

>>2495644
Getting ready for a TV interview!

>>2495766
Ooh, who's the interviewer? Lois Lane? Cause if so I'd be worried about Miss Lane digging a little too deeply into Kom and Reno's unsavory pasts.

>>2495805
You'll just have to see!

>>2495816
Hm...

What are the odds of the Lanterns knocking on our door after our little "Save the World" stunt?
Also, what's social media saying about Best King Reno?

>>2495849
You'll find out next thread!

>>2495956
MACH! This is why I bully you about mistakes!

Could we tempt Lain to setting up shop in Battery Tower? Or is she doing better financially?

>>2495972
Actually why wasn't that already a thing?

>>2496051
It would be kind of heartbreaking if Lain rebuffed Reno's offer because he's a villain.

>>2495972
>>2496051
She has a shop nearby! I'll be sure to give an opportunity to visit her next thread.

>>2496179
Awesome

>>2496179
We should also offer to set her up with a nice Tamaranean boy/girl. She could use the company, probably.

>>2496286
Nobody is gonna date Lain but ME
