Been excited for this! Also, ever since watching were I left off 8 years ago I'm about done with the galactic monster arc.

Ever since you told Grandpa that you were being chased by alien bounty hunters, he's been driving non-stop. You and Olivia tried to get him to stop and rest for an hour or two, but he refused any suggestions you made. You're really worried about him. He's never acted this way in the entire time that you've known him. You've passed Pennsylvania entirely and are now headed to New York City. You'd be way more excited about visiting "The Big Apple" if you're Grandpa wasn't being paranoid as hell. He at least promised to make a stop in Manhattan once you were there. You haven't had too much time to mess with the watch since you literally haven't stopped moving in like 8 hours, but you've had a lot of time to prepare for your little excursion into the city.

What have you been doing?

Nice! The galactic monsters arc was really fun to watch for me since I loved the forgotten villains like Viktor. What do you think of the series so far?

>>3064468
I'm enjoying it. I still think that some of the redesigns are hit's and miss's, but it's real good so far. Enjoyed that Lucy became relevant again. since they never really returned to the whole sludge puppies ever since the original series.
When it comes to waifu's I feel like the human ones are at a sever disadvantage, mostly do to the fact that all the non-human ones have way better personalities, or at least interesting ones.

>>3064465

Traffic is slow, so I'll go with this.

You've been texting Julie and keeping tabs on her current situation. It sounds like she wasn't grounded, but she's being closely monitored by her parents.

[Julie]: So what have you been up to?

[Wade]: Grandpa's been driving non-stop ever since I told him. Me and Ollie are getting pretty worried about him.

[Julie]: Oh geez. I thought you told me that he was in on your secret. Isn't he used to this whole thing by now?

[Wade]: Well we've only been doing this for like week. I think the reason he's scared this time is because they're gonna keep coming after me. That bounty's gonna stay up until I'm dead.

[Julie]: Ok, now you've got me scared. What if one of these hunters come for you when your watch is timed out, or you're asleep, or they're just too strong for you?

[Wade]: Well, all of those morbid thoughts did occur to me. But there's no point in getting scared by something that I can't stop. Unless I can track down this D'Traxus guy, I'll never be safe. And I'm pretty sure he's an alien too, so he's probably not even on this planet. How do I reach a guy like that?

[Julie]: Maybe you can hijack a UFO?

[Wade]: That doesn't sound very heroic.

[Julie]: If it ends up saving your life, I don't really give a shit.

You and her go back and forth trying to think of ways to go to space and search for this warlord guy. Eventually, you reach NYC and let Julie know that you're gonna go sightseeing with Olivia.

(Continued in Next Post)

[Phil]: Ok kids, we're here. Where you thinking of going today?

He rubs his eyes as he asks you, drawing your attention to the massive bags underneath them. He hasn't slept in at least half a day or more.

[Olivia]: We're probably gonna wander around like the filthy tourists we are.

[Wade]: Grandpa? You don't look so hot. You planning on getting some sleep?

[Phil]: No can do, kiddo. I gotta be ready in case we get attacked again.

[Olivia]: I don't think being severely sleep deprived counts as "Being ready".

[Wade]: She's right. You need to take better care of yourself. "Team Wakeman" needs to be in their best condition to take down alien bad guys.

Grandpa sits back down in his seat and scratches his head.

[Phil]: Well, alright. But don't go too far. And call me if anything happens. And be sure to watch each other's backs.

[Olivia and Wade]: Got it.

[Phil]: Remember, be back here before 9. That should give you kids enough time to explore.

Both of you run out of the RV and say your goodbyes to Grandpa. Hopefully he'll actually lay down and rest for a while.

[Olivia]: So, where do you wanna go first?

>Bookstore. Ollie likes to read.
>Wintendo store. That new Sumo Slammers game is gonna be amazing!
>Thai Restaurant.
>Arcade

>>3064617
>>Arcade
Gotta save the restaurant for when we get a bit hungry. And there's all sorts of stuff at an arcade to keep people entertained

>>3064625

Writing...

[Wade]: The arcade of course!

[Olivia]: Ooh, good choice! Let's go.

You and Olivia make our way to the local arcade. The lighting is dim and they rely on neon lighting and paint patterns that are revealed by ultraviolet lamps hovering above the arcade cabinets. It's suppose to add to the "underground" aesthetic of the place. And you're really loving it!

You and Ollie immediately flock to "Time Crisis", your favorite co-op game. Both of you have gotten really good at shooters and fighting games over the past couple of years. You manage to entertain yourselves for about 20 minutes before both of you die. The line behind you has gotten pretty long too. It's no big surprise since this is the most popular game in the any arcade. Neither of you wanted to spend too much money or time on one game, so you ask Olivia which game she wants to play next. She begins to scan the room to find the best game to end on. Her eyes widen when she spots one cabinet in particular. "Sumo Slammers 2"

[Wade]: Really? You wanna do this right now?

Her smug grin grows even bigger.

[Wade]: We both know that I'm the undefeated champ in Sumo Slammers 2. You're only gonna embarrass yourself.

[Olivia]: You think I've just been sitting on my thumbs the entire time I haven't seen you? I'm here to claim the championship title, at SUMO SLAM 2018!

After she screams, a bunch of people turn to look at the both of you. But you don't care. you've just been issued a challenge that you can't turn down.

[Wade]: You're on.

Both of you race to the cabinet and insert your tokens. The machine jumps to life after you've inserted 4 tokens. The classic opening theme makes you feel nostalgic, and you pause to appreciate it for a bit. Olivia being impatient to fight you, skips it after a few seconds and goes to character selection. You let it slide and pick your main, Ishiyama. you know it's cheesy to main the main character, but it just feels appropriate. Ollie picks her main, Kenko the shape-shifter. She decided to main the villain to counter you and make for a dramatic fight. Hopefully she won't spam again.

>84

Well she wasn't lying about practicing while you were away. She's gotten really good with Kenko, and she's actually making you get serious for once. You take her by surprise and dish out a sick 70% damage combo that finishes the first round.

[Olivia]: What?!

[Wade]: Resets baby!

[Olivia]: Well I've still got another round to come back from this.

In the next round she starts off strong. You get tripped up by Kenko's teleportation abilities, and Olivia manages to pull off a 60% damage combo using cross-ups and resets. You make a lot of silly mistakes and hand her the second round without getting her past half health. She get really smug after and starts to gloat a bit. You grip the arcade stick a bit harder and prepare yourself for the next round. But, she makes a mistake and drops the combo before you feel the full brunt of her damage vortex. You take advantage of this by grabbing her and pushing her into the corner. She panics and tries to use meter burned wake-ups to catch you off guard, but you're far too used to her tactics to fall for that. You block and punish by putting her in an extended 80% corner combo. Ishiyama's meter-burned palm strike stuns her and allows you to finish the game 2-1.

Olivia is stunned by her loss and slams her fist on the table. She looks pretty upset.

[Wade]: Hey, you've gotten a lot better than you were before. I didn't even know you liked this game anymore.

[Olivia]: I didn't really like it until I started training to beat you. Guess I'll have to train even harder for next year!

She's back to her usual cheery self at least. You turn around to notice that you've been surrounded by a bunch of people that have been cheering you on. You were so into the game that you didn't notice all of these spectators. One of them walks up to you and forcefully shakes your hand. He's a chubby, pasty kid that probably frequents this place. He squeezes your wrist with both of his hands. What a weird way to shake somebody's hand.

[Pasty Kid]: That was awesome! You should participate in tournaments!

[Wade]: Thanks, I guess. I just play a lot at home. I'm not good enough to go to tournaments anyway.

You feel a tug on your wrist, and look down to see the kid grabbing it. He panics when he sees that you've noticed. What's he doing? Is he trying to take it from you?

[Random Bystander]: Hey! That guy stole my wallet!

A bald, muscular man with tattoos calls out to the boy in a booming voice. The kid pushes you out of the way and runs out of the arcade. The muscular man follows him shortly after.

What do you do?

>Follow them!

"In the next round she starts off strong. You get tripped up by Kenko's teleportation abilities, and Olivia manages to pull off a 60% damage combo using cross-ups and resets. You make a lot of silly mistakes and hand her the second round without getting her past half health. She get really smug after and starts to gloat a bit. You grip the arcade stick a bit harder and prepare yourself for the next round. She manages to get the first hit and is awarded with a bar of meter. She immediately goes for the meter burned teleportation, but you know that's exactly what she was trying to do and you do the one thing that will always counter Kenko's teleport. You duck. She's caught off guard and is caught trying to back-dash. You punish her for ever trying something as obvious as that, and it makes her rethink her strategy a bit. She manages to put you in yet another dangerous damage vortex to try to close out the round. But, she makes a mistake and drops the combo before you feel the full brunt of her damage vortex. You take advantage of this by grabbing her and pushing her into the corner.

You think about chasing after the punk who tried to rob you, but that's none of your business. Besides, Grandpa wouldn't want you transforming in public for petty reasons. Olivia looks at you with concern on her face.

[Olivia]: Should we do something about that?

[Wade]: Nope, I'm sure it'll be fine.

[Olivia]: But that buff guy looks like he might really hurt him.

[Wade]: Well to be honest he has it coming, but I don't think he'll hurt him...much.

Olivia makes a bit of a sour frown after hearing that and just decides to go with it since you need to be laying low anyways.

Movie Theater it is. Writing...

You've spent about an hour in the arcade playing a few games, but you eventually run out of tokens and are forced to move on.

[Olivia]: What do you wanna do now?

[Wade]: I heard they're playing that new movie "Zomblast" in theaters. Wanna go see it?

[Olivia]: Sure. I heard the theaters here are really fancy. I hope the seats recline and have the little foot rests.

Both of you rush over to the local cinema a few blocks down and buy two tickets to Zomblast. The ticket handler hands you two pairs of 3D glasses along with your tickets. When you get to your seats, you can see that the theater is half empty. It's a good thing you came at such an odd time. You manage to score some sweet middle row seats. Not too close, and not too far.

[Olivia]: So, what's this movie about?

[Wade]: No idea. The trailers were really vague. Maybe it's one of those things where they don't want to spoil too much in the previews?

[Olivia]: Well I guess we'll find out when we watch it. Hope it's not too much of a waste of money.

After sitting through the previews, the lights dim and the movie starts. It's about a man that survives a deadly plane crash, virtually unharmed, and is stranded on a remote island. The first 15 minutes of the movie are about him trying to survive the harsh environment of the island and build a campsite that protects him from the elements. But it gets bizarre because he meets a man on the island that looks just like him, but he's mangled and disfigured from the crash. The man works together with his doppelganger in order to survive, and even takes care of him after they get over the initial weirdness of it all. The doppelganger has a strange amount of knowledge on the main character's life and begins to criticize him on his flaws and the mistakes he's made in his life.

[Olivia]: Psst. What's going on? Is he going crazy?

[Wade]: I dunno. I thought this was a supernatural horror movie.

[???]: Hey! Down in front. Mind keeping it down? I paid good money for this movie.

You look behind you to see a girl with red spiky hair. You can't tell from behind her 3D glasses, but she's probably annoyed.

You decide to pipe down and watch the rest of the movie. The man eventually gets fed up and tries to abandon his doppelganger. After leaving him alone, he finds a small part of the plane wreckage that contains a working radio. He excitedly runs back to the camp and presents it to his double. The mangled man warns him that it's a bad idea to call for help, but doesn't specify why. The man thinks that he's crazy and radio's for help. After several days of trying, he finally gets in contact with authorities. The mangled man warns him once again that he shouldn't go through with it. He ignores him and waits for rescue. Once they arrive, they see a single mangled man on the beach. The doppelganger has disappeared and only one remains. The man drops dead on the ground and the screen cuts to black.

What?

The credits roll.

What?!

You and Olivia just sit there for a while wondering what happened.

[Spiky girl]: God that movie fucking sucked!

Everyone turns to look at the girl from earlier and begins to laugh. Your thoughts exactly. Olivia seems to be looking something up on her phone.

[Spiky girl]: Hey sorry about before man. I would've let you talk all you want had I known how much this movie sucked. Like what was any if that? Why would they call it Zomblast? There wasn't any action! It was just some guy screaming at himself for 2 friggin hours!

[Olivia]: Apparently the director said the movie was meant to reflect the theory of Schrodinger's cat. Like how if nobody could confirm whether you were living or dead, your living self would exist alongside your dead self at the same time. But if anyone witnessed you, your fate would be sealed in that one result.

[Spiky girl]: That's pretentious as fuck! Why would he think anyone would enjoy watching something so misleading. Zomblast isn't even close to being an appropriate title.

[Wade]: Yeah I was expecting more zombies...and blasting.

[Spiky girl]: Well I for one want my money back. How about you guys?

[Wade]: Nah that's kinda rude. We're just gonna go and pretend that none of this ever happened.

[Spiky girl]: Heh, suit yourself. I for one, am not gonna have my time wasted watching an awful movie.

The girl gets up and leaves shortly afterward. You notice that the theater has cleared out and decide to follow her. You can kind of hear everyone else complaining about the movie, while some are trying to defend it by saying that they couldn't see the author's "vision". Eventually, a guy sporting the punk aesthetic walks up to the girl you were talking to.

[Punk guy]: Sup Rojo, how was the movie.

[Rojo]: An absolute pile of shit is what it was. I was just gonna go get my money back.

[Punk guy]: Chillax Rojo. Do you really think we've got the time to be hanging around like this? Mother's gonna start her gig soon.

[Rojo]: Mother's full of shit, Spud. Nothing's gonna happen. You just go tricked to go graffiti a bunch of abandoned warehouses.

[Spud]: Nah man! Mother's gonna provide for us and shelter us from the coming storm! We'll be the ones ruling over these rich snobs soon.

This guy sounds crazy...

[Olivia]: Well, it sounds like you two are having a private conversation. So we're gonna head on out...

As Olivia slowly backs away, the ground begins to shake violently. All of you fall to the floor as an extreme amount of pressure forces to the ground. Panicked screams can be heard through the intense rumbling of the earthquake and clanging of objects being thrown about.

[Spud]: It's happening!

The crazy punk guy starts smiling and laughing while he lays on the floor.

[Rojo]: Shut it, Spud!

The rumbling eventually stops, and all that you can hear are the blaring of car alarms and the terrified cries of the public.

[Wade]: What was that?

[Olivia]: We should go check it out.

Both of you start running toward the exit, carefully avoiding the glass from a fallen chandelier. You walk outside to see dust and debris scattered everywhere. Police and ambulance sirens can be heard in the distance. The city is absolutely wrecked. This is a scene straight out of a disaster movie. People are walking around looking scared and confused.

[Olivia]: What could've done this?

You're about to answer her, but you're soon interrupted by the screeching of a bunch of bizarre bat creatures in the sky. They swarm around the theater and dive towards you!

Which alien will you pick?

>Rad-El Snake
>A rodent with a lightning bolt pattern running down his face
>Knuckle Duster
>Some bird thing with a sharp looking beak
>A shark with multiple eyes and jagged teeth

You quickly select the bird alien and slam down hard on your watch. The eyeball bats descend upon you and your cousin, but are too late to stop you from transforming. After the purple flash fades, you appear as bird with long arms and short, stubby little legs. Your legs are so short that you have to walk on your arms. What does this guy even do? He doesn't even have wings.

But you don't have time to think! The rock bat tries to ram you, but you quickly react by falling backwards and grabbing its wings with your long, dangling arms. The rock bat's eye begins to glow, like he's charging up to fire something at you. You respond by unconsciously kicking your stubby feet against it, sending the creature flying backward toward a brick wall. The bat smashes to pieces upon hitting the wall, leaving you holding his heavy broken wings.

You and Olivia just sit there with your mouths hanging open, completely at a loss for words. These legs are a lot more powerful than you thought they were! You think that you'll call this guy "Dropkick".

You quickly get over your excitement after the swarm of bats circles back around and flies toward you once more. Guess you'll have to celebrate later.

It's Show Time!

(Session Ended)

Sorry for not being able to run longer. To make it up to you guys, I'll run tomorrow(technically today) at 4pm(EST).

Thanks for playing!

>>3065167
Thanks for running!

Just woke up, I’ll be here next session for inputs and rolls, I really like it. :)

(And we're up!)

Just as you're about to celebrate. These bat creatures start shooting purple energy beams at you. They all impact the areas around you and miss entirely though. For creatures with such big eyes, they sure do have shitty aim. Maybe it's the lack of depth perception? Never-mind that. You've gotta do something before Ollie or some other innocent bystander gets hurt!

Ok now I'm writing...

>90

You wonder what else you can do with these legs. You crouch down low and press your feet to the ground, preparing to jump. With all your might, you jump using your arms and legs to launch yourself high into the air. The rapid change in velocity surprises you at first, making you worry that you'll injure yourself if you land the wrong way. As that thought crosses your mind, a black, bone-like material spreads from your beak and covers your head like a helmet. When you get close enough, you grab onto the wing of a rock-bat and swing on top of his back. You reel back and kick him downward, causing him to crash and propel you further upward. Using this momentum, you kick another in the face and send yourself flying to the one after that. You've got a nice rhythm going, having used your powerful legs to destroy five of them. But you have to be careful not to let them fall on anyone.

Speaking of, you see two of them harassing some injured citizens on the ground.

What do you do?

You don't have much time to jump over there, so you latch on to the nearest bat and pull on its wings. You wait until you have a good enough angle, and kick it towards the bats near the ground. With patience and timing, you manage to knock the bat into the two other ones that were harassing the people on the ground. They all collide violently and shatter upon hitting the ground.

[Spud]: Yes! Oh merciful Scrutin, send me to the promised land with your blessed light!

Looks like crazy punk guy made it out ok. But now he's drawing the attention of several of these "Scrutin". Their eyes glow a bright purple like they did before, and you desperately try to jump toward him. He's gonna get fried!

Right before the beams hit him, Rojo pushes him out of the way and narrowly avoids them herself.

[Rojo]: What the fuck is wrong with you dude?!

[Spud]: You've ruined it! I was so close!

[Olivia]: I think he wanted to get fried...

[Rojo]: I've never seen him like this. Spud you better not be hooked again. I swear I'll punch your lights out if you've gone back to being a junkie. That shit'll kill you man.

[Spud]: I'm not, I swear! Mother has shown me the light! She just wants to bring her home to us since she can't get back.

[Wade]: Her home?

Rojo jumps back after seeing a large bird land next to her and talk like a human. Spud doesn't react much though.

[Rojo]: Gahhh!

She instinctively punches you in the beak, but that hurts her wayyy more than it hurts you. She crouches low and rubs her hand as she groans in pain. You place your large hand over her shoulder in order to comfort her, but it only freaks her out even more. On another note, you've been standing on one hand with little to no effort. Your strength and balance is impeccable.

[Spud]: Uh-huh. She calls it "Ledgerdomain" or something.

You all look at each other in confusion, but your attention is suddenly drawn to the sky. It's turned into a dark purple, kinda like your watch! You hear a loud screeching sound and prepare for combat once more, but it turned out to be the tires of the Rust Bucket making a sharp turn around the corner. Grandpa steps out and waves you over.

[Phil]: Get in kids! All hell's broken loose!

You and Olivia waste no time getting in the RV. Grandpa makes room for your large bird body to fit through the door. You look back and see Rojo and Spud still standing in the same place.

[Wade]: Get in! You won't be able to lose them on foot!

Rojo looks confused, but decides to go with you regardless.

[Rojo]: ...Fuck it. We're getting out of here!

She helps Spud to the car and grandpa helps him to climb in. After everyone is in, he drives off at full speed. It's difficult to avoid all of the debris and wrecked cars, but grandpa seems to be managing just fine. You've got a bit of free time for the moment.

What do you wanna do?

Sorry, had to do something real quick. Will combine these both. Writing...

You walk over to Spud and Rojo to check on them. Rojo visibly tenses up a bit when you walk over. Guess she's still not used to you.

[Rojo]: You one of "them"?

Rojo points to one of the Scrutin flying by the RV.

[Wade]: No, I'm human.

Rojo raises and eyebrow.

[Wade]: Well, most of the time anyway. But I won't hurt you, I promise.

Rojo relaxes a little and looks at Spud for moment. he's curled up on the floor in fetal position.

[Rojo]: So what do we do now?

[Wade]: That's what I wanted to know. This guy kept talking about someone named "Mother". Do you know who that is?

[Rojo]: She's some crazy lady that took in a bunch of homeless people. She fed them, clothed them and asked them to do odd jobs around her house. But she forced them to repay her by running around the city and spray painting these weird symbols all over the place. Spud started acting weird ever since he went to live with her in that creepy old house. That's all I know.

[Spud]: You took away my only chance to leave this cruel world! How could you?

[Rojo]: This is the only world we've got, Spud. It's time for you to start living in it.

You think about telling her about the existence of aliens, but decide against it so you don't freak her out.

[Wade]: Hey, can you take us to "Mother"?

[Spud]: Never! You just want to stop her!

[Rojo]: I can take you there, but I don't know how to stop her. Only Spud would know.

[Wade]: I guess we'll have to find out when we get there, huh?

[Olivia]: Hey guys! You should come see this!

(Continued in Next Post)

All of you walk over to see what Olivia's talking about(Except Grandpa of course). She turns up volume on the TV so that you can hear the news reporter speaking.

[Reporter]: This is Darcy Johnson on channel 5 news, and we're here in a news chopper getting our first look at the situation in Manhattan. We see what appears to be...a giant pair of chicken legs? Folks, it appears that the entirety of Manhattan is being lifted up by giant chicken legs sprouting out of the bottom! Are you guys getting this?!!

Everyone in the room is speechless. Even Spud seems to have snapped out of his funk because of the ridiculousness of the situation.

[Olivia]: Pfft!!! Hahahaha!

Everyone looks to Olivia in confusion as she breaks into one of her snorting laughs.

[Olivia]: Oh what?! Don't tell me that this isn't funny.Just look at them!

She continues to bust a gut laughing on the floor while the rest of you just stare at her.

[Spud]: Y'know, I didn't expect the promised land to look quite like this.

[Wade]: What did she even promise you?

[Spud]: A place by her side as the divine ruler of this realm.

[Rojo]: Those things tried to kill you earlier. Looks like you got played son.

Spud looks downcast after hearing the harsh reality of his promise.

[Spud]: ...I know how to stop her.

Everyone, including Olivia, looks at Spud in shock. He's finally willing to talk.

[Spud]: If we take her book away from her and destroy it, she loses her power. I overheard her talking about it to one of those rock dogs she keeps around.

Rock dogs? Well whatever, it's a start.

[Wade]: Can you help my Grandpa navigate to her house?

Rojo nods and starts walking to the front of the RV.

Suddenly, something explodes in a purple flash in front of the RV. Grandpa swerves out of the way just in time, but more beams of light follow after that. It's the Scrutin!

[Spud]: Oh no! She knows that I've betrayed her!

This lady is getting pretty annoying. You've gotta find a way to get these guys off of your tail. But, you've gotta remember that you're almost out of time on your watch!

I've been doing crit-fails and crit-successes as well. Are you guys not okay with that system?

>1

You decide to make the most of your time by helping Grandpa and the rest get out of here as fast as we can. You open the door leading outside and begin to climb along the side of the RV. Olivia calls out to you but you can't hear her too well. You make your way to the back of the RV and firmly plant your claws into it, while carefully lowering your legs to the ground. Realizing that you have no way of communicating with Grandpa, you peck a small hole into the back of the RV and slip your beak through it.

[Wade]: Ollie, come here!

Olivia walks over to where your beak is and screams when she sees it.

[Wade]: I need you to tell Grandpa to scream out when he's making a turn and what kind of turn it is. Then tell me what he said just to be sure.

Olivia nods in confirmation.

[Wade]: Are you nodding?! You know I can't actually see you right?

[Olivia]: Yes! I said yes!

She goes and relay the information to Grandpa, then she comes back to you.

[Olivia]: He said that he's making a left turn in 5 seconds!

You get in position and prepare for the turn, anticipating the shift in weight. Once you see the tires turn, you kick off of the ground and send the RV flying in the opposite direction. And to get back on the road, you kick off of another car that you were previously flying toward. Everyone in the RV screams and complains, but this is the only way to shake these guys!

Suddenly, another burst of energy erupts in front of the RV, causing Grandpa to hit the breaks in order to avoid it. You accidentally kick your legs onto the ground and send the RV flying forward, flipping through the air. Unable to reposition yourself in time, the RV lands on its side and slides along the road. You're thrown across the street and on top of a parked car, crushing the hood and windshield. You groan in pain and slowly crawl off of the car. The beeping and yellow blinking of the Omnitrix draws your attention for a moment. You see the Scrutin gather around the crashed RV, and you become very frantic and desperate. You prepare to make one last leap to save your family, but you have no strength left in your body. You slowly close your eyes as you see a yellow flash cover your outstretched hand.

(Continuing in Next Post)

>>3066736
I'm fine, it's just I think you've only done crit-successes so far and ignored ones in the past.

You wake up to see a dark room with creepy decor, like it's never been cleaned once in like 50 years. You look around some more to see your family and friends sleeping while having their arms and legs restrained. You try to move, and realize that you're in the same situation. You hear a sinister laugh coming from a corner in the room, and see a white-haired woman sitting in a comfortable chair, very out of place with the rest of the decor. She wears a dark purple gown and a mask that covers her eyes.

[Mother]: It's no use child. I've had my faithful servants bring you to me. They've been my eyes all over the city. Even now, they see much more than I ever could.

You look around to notice several rock creatures surrounding you, all of their eyes glowing purple.

[Mother]: And I've been watching you. You're a very interesting individual. In all of my years on this wretched rock, I've never seen anything like you.

She gets very close to your face and grabs it. She looks to your watch and her smile widens.

[Mother]: Tell me, where did you get this trinket. The "Mother of Midnight" would very much like to know.

What do you say? What do you do?

Mother's smile drops in an instant. that look on her face is priceless!

[Wade]: I mean, I'm not judging what kind of image you're going for, but it's got to make things awkward right? I know that I wouldn't want to call my all powerful ruler "Mom". That'd be wayyy too embarrassing.

Mother is furious now. Purple flames rise up behind her as she grinds her teeth.

[Mother]: Silence!!

She snaps her fingers and forms a strip of tape around your mouth to shut you up.

[Mother]: I will not be mocked! Especially by a stinking primitive ape such as yourself!

[Spud]: Oh yeah? Well this stinking ape read your spell book when you weren't looking!

Looks like all the shouting and theatrics woke up everybody else. And Spud's got a plan! You hope...

[Mother]: You dare to-

[Olivia]: Yeah you tell her!

[Rojo]: Preach!

[Phil]: Attaboy!

[Spud]: You know, I used to look up to you, worship you even. But you're just like everybody else that's used me in my life. Actually, I think you may be even worse.

[Mother]: You WILL obey me!

Mothers summons her spell book and staff, making the flames around you dance in a more furious fashion.

[Spud]: Not anymore. Edzamus Te Nomatiae Thoom!!

After shouting what appeared to be absolute nonsense, all of you are freed from your restraints and dropped to the ground. You painfully rip the tape from your mouth and open up your watch. Your friends and family take a combat ready stance.

[Wade]: Nice job, Spud. But now, It's Show Time!

Which alien will you choose?

>Rad-El Snake
>Zipmunk

You quickly select Zipmunk since he was pretty much the closest alien to the cursor. A bright purple flash blinds everyone in the room except Mother, and you reappear as Zipmunk.

[Mother]: Destroy them!

Mother commands the rock creatures in the room to pounce on you. You've gotta get rid of these guys!

Gotta think of something fast! You notice the purple streaks of energy that shoot past you. Maybe you can charge up on those!

You dash upward and absorb all incoming energy that comes from Mother's book. It feels exhilarating! You've never felt this great in your entire life! Purple lightning jumps out of your eyes and mouth, and you're overflowing with raw power! You feel like you can do anything!

[Mother]: What?! That's impossible!

Even your friends and family back away from you, they look...scared. That's right. You can't let this power go to your head. That's how you get people like "Mom", and you never want to become someone like her. You close your eyes and unleash everything you've absorbed into a powerful beam. Mother panics and gathers every minion she has to protect herself. A bright flash blinds you all and both of you are sent flying in opposite directions. Mother flies back with so much force, that she destroys the wall behind her and now lays on the sidewalk outside.

Everyone gathers around you with worried looks on their faces.

[Rojo]: You okay, runt?

[Wade]: Th-thought you were afraid of me.

Rojo smiles in a way you thought was impossible for someone as abrasive as her.

[Rojo]: Well once I learned you were just some punk I met in the movie theater, you weren't so creepy anymore.

[Phil]: you sure did give us a scare there, champ. How about we never do that again?

[Mother]: No...longer...

Everyone turns around to see Mother picking herself up off of the ground. She struggles and groans as she holds her side.

[Mother]: No longer shall I deal with this ridicule! This insubordination!

She slowly rises into the sky and raises her arms.

[Mother]: You are like ants beneath my feet! I will crush you all beneath my heel!

The Scrutin begin to circle above her. She's trying to sick her pets on you again! And not only that, but she reaches her hand toward her book and attempts to summon it to her side.

Well it looks like she's not down for the count yet. How do you want to go about dealing with this?

Mother attempts to retrieve her book to protect the spell that she's cast. But she doesn't count on how quick you are to react. You fire a boosted energy bolt at the book, hoping that it'll be enough to destroy it. As soon as the lightning bolt hits the book, Mother begins screaming like a wild banshee! This book must be connected to her somehow. You poor some more juice into your attack and soon enough, tiny crack begin to develop in the book's binding. It soon spreads to the rest of the book, and you notice that these glowing cracks appear on Mother's skin. It looks like she's breaking to pieces from the damage being done to her spell book. After a few seconds, the book begins to shake violently shoot sparks every which way. Your friends and family take cover behind some furniture, but you just keep pouring on the juice. Both the book and Mother explode in a bright burst of purple light, forcing you to shield your eyes briefly.

Once the smoke clears, Mother's appearance has changed from that of a beautiful woman to a hideous old crone with burned eyes. But your attention is drawn away from her for a moment, because the sky is changing back to the color it was before! The Scrutin freeze in place and disappear in flash of light. You feel a strong pressure, just like you did at the theater, and it forces you and everyone else to the ground. You begin to wonder what's happening, but your sensitive ears catch wind of a radio broadcast that states that the city has been lowered back down to its original position.

[Phil]: Did we win?

Your watch begins to beep and reverts you back to your original form. You must have exerted yourself quite a bit to time out that fast.

[Wade]: I think so.

[Mother]: You think that you've won?! No, this is only the beginning.

Mother begins to pick herself up with a cane, now sounding much more like an unhealthy old woman. She starts cackling like a stereotypical witch, and it makes you feel very uncomfortable.

[Mother]: Mark my words, Wade Wakeman! I will return and destroy everything that you hold dear! And next time, that precious watch of yours won't be able to save you. A Mother never forgets-

She suddenly disappears in the middle of her sentence. Everyone looks to each other with confused faces.

[Olivia]: Uh, did she mean to do that?

[Rojo]: Who the hell cares? At least she's gone. Now we can all get on with our lives.

You begin to appreciate Rojo's blunt approach to conversation.

(Continued in Next Post)

You all make it back to the RV and manage to call someone to get you towed to the nearest auto-shop. But Rojo and Spud stop you before you leave.

[Rojo]: Hey, I um...wanted to thank you for what you did here. If you hadn't shown up, we all would've been kissing Mom's wrinkly old feet by now.

Rojo shudders just thinking about it.

[Spud]: Yeah, and I wanted to say sorry for y'know, almost letting her do it.

[Wade]: No problem, I'm here to help.

[Spud]: I can't believe we met such a great guy in Manhattan of all places!

[Rojo]: I know. It's almost creepy how nice he is all the time. He didn't even try to swing back when I punched him in the beak.

[Wade]: Yeah, about that...

Both of them get serious for a moment.

[Wade]: I need you guys to keep this a secret from everyone else. I've kinda got a secret identity to keep.

[Spud]: Woah, like a superhero?!

[Wade]: Exactly.

[Rojo]: You mean those guys that prance around in tights and fight other guys in tights? Laaame.

[Wade]: You've clearly never read a comic book before.

[Rojo]: You've clearly never gotten beaten up for reading a comic book before.

Rojo says this with a smirk, but the way she said it makes you wonder if she's joking or not. They help you to clean up the mess that you made when the Rust Bucket tipped over, and they exchange numbers with you. You tell them to call you if something weird ever happens again. They agree and see you off to your destination.

[Spud]: See ya, little dudes! And big dude!

[Rojo]: Maybe we'll catch you on the news or something!

They wave at you as the RV gets towed away to the nearest auto shop.

[Phil]: So much for laying low. Looks like we're gonna run into trouble no matter where we go.

[Olivia]: Then all the bad guys out there better be scared, because Team Wakeman is on the job!

Both of you can't help but smile at Olivia's eccentric mannerisms. Hopefully, the bad guys give you a break for a while. All this constant action is wearing you out.

----------

You go to lay down and relax for a little while, but Olivia soon comes to bother you again after about an hour.

[Wade]: What's up?

[Olivia]: Guess what I got?

[Wade]: A good reason for waking me up? That'd be nice.

[Olivia]: No silly! I've got...a souvenir!

Olivia whips out a medal with strange markings on it.

[Wade]: Whoa, where'd you get that?

[Olivia]: I picked it up after it fell out of Mom's book. What do you think it does?

What do you say?

Writing...

[Wade]: I dunno, but let's hold onto it for now. It looks like kinda mystical, so don't put it on yet. We don't know if this thing could affect us the way it did Mother.

[Olivia]: Hmm, I guess you're right. I was kinda hoping you'd let me keep it, since I know Grandpa doesn't trust stuff like this. Being a hero has always been my dream, and it's been great watching you do all this cool stuff with that watch. What if this is my chance to be a hero? This could be my origin!

[Wade]: What if it isn't that convenient? What if it makes you crazy like Mother? What if you become a monster?

Olivia starts to look like she's doubting herself. She looks kind of upset. Maybe she really wanted you to believe that everything would turn out ok. But you can't afford to be that naive. Not when someone you love is at risk.

[Wade]: Just promise me that you won't put it on until we find out more about it, ok?

[Olivia]: ...Ok.

You hug her in order to get her to calm down a bit. But you also have to make time to help her figure out what that thing does and where it comes from.

What do you do while the RV gets fixed up?

You tell Olivia that you're going to practice with your aliens. She looks really excited for a moment, but then rethinks whatever she was about to say. She says that she's going to do a little research on the medal for a while. Man, she's really serious about this. You wish her luck and leave the hotel room that Grandpa got for you.

You find an empty lot that you can use to practice with your aliens. After cycling through them, you realize that you've never used this dinosaur guy before. Well, here goes nothing!

You make your selection and slap down hard on your watch, but something weird happens. It shocks you and briefly flashes a brighter shade of purple. Spark run along the exterior of the watch for a few seconds, then it just stops. What was that about?

You go back to select the dinosaur again, and are successful in using your watch his time. A purple flash envelops your body and you feel yourself shrinking down a bit. You're at least 3 feet tall now. You inspect yourself in the reflection of a nearby hubcap, trying to figure out what kind of weird tricks you can do. Your nose is very shiny and tough, but the texture is almost never consistent. Sometimes it jiggles like jello when you poke it, other times it remains firm and solid as steel. But after you scratch at it for a bit, you sneeze onto the hubcap. The purple material that covered your nose now has a slimy and sticky texture. The hubcap dangles near the ground and swings whenever you move your head. You try to pull it off, but it's surprisingly difficult! Once you calm down and focus a bit, you command the green material to return to its previous shape. You almost hit yourself in the face trying to pry it off. But this gives you an idea.

You line up a few cans and try to replicate the sneezing action you did before. Each and every sneeze creates a deadly snot rocket that glues the cans to the wall behind them. On the last sneeze though, the snot rocket solidifies mid flight and clobbers the can in front of it. This guy is pretty neat!

You mess around a bit more with the shape of your nose too. You create drills, hammers and even a spatula! You even make little snot bubbles that seem to be fairly durable, yet springy. It looks like you can manipulate the gel-like material on your nose and its consistency.

You think you'll call this guy "Snotnose" or 'Snotrocket". You'll decide later...

You remember that you haven't experimented much with your watch's functions. But you really don't feel like waiting to time out. You start touching the Omnitrix symbol which is conveniently still on your wrist this time. After messing with it for a minute, you slap your watch the way you normally would to transform. Suddenly, a bright yellow flash reverts you back to your human form! What was that?! Did you just force yourself to time out? What a stupid function. Guess you should head back to the hotel.

(Continued in Next Post)

You start walking back to the hotel, and a minute or two later your watch clicks to life again! That was the fastest the watch has ever recharged! Was this because you reverted earlier than you should have? It looks like the sooner you cancel a transformation, the sooner you can recharge. This is gonna be a serious game changer! You're really getting the hang of this.

Meanwhile...

Mother sits in a prison cell, surrounded by strange vermin and under constant surveillance by giant stone guardians. The sky is dark purple, and the land is barren and vast, but mostly empty. A giant turtle-like creature approaches her jail cell, signaling the guards to stand aside. His arms are long and thick, and his head is covered in a wild purple flame.

[Adwaita]: You should have remained in hiding, witch. Now that I have found you, you will tell me where the remaining Keystones of Bezel are located.

Mother simply remains silent, smiling at an hourglass that she's tied to her arm. The sands fall slowly, grain by grain, and glow a faint pink color. Adwaita grows angry and impatient, turning away and leaving the way he came.

[Adwaita]: No matter. I have ways of breaking you. I will find the Keystones, and the girl that you have hidden on Earth. I'm sure that she will make a fine servant.

When Adwaita says this, Mother quickly jumps up and grabs the bars of her cell. She shakes them violently and screams incoherently.

[Mother]: It's only a matter of time, Adwaita! I will outlive these bars that hold me, these guards, and eventually you!

Adwaita smirks and continues to walk away. The environment of Ledgerdomain is very similar to the nightmarish New York that appeared and disappeared in the same day. Mother's screams echo through the vast unknown.

[Mother]: ONLY A MATTER OF TIME!

(End of Session)

Thanks for playing!

Hope you guys are enjoying the quest. What are your favorite aliens? Least favorite?
Any questions or critiques? Let me know, because I intend to keep this quest going for as long as I can.

The next session will be held on Wednesday at 4pm(EST).

>>3070550
I'm enjoying it. favorite alien for so far would either be Zipmunk or Knuckle Duster. Not feeling Rad-El Snake so far but that's probably because we have't found a good situation for him yet. Also, for future clarification maybe include the fact crits will be in play whenever dice come up in the future to prevent any confusion like before.

Along with a pastebin that includes that aliens you've unlocked, their powers and a link to read previous threads in the archive. I'm new to the whole QM thing so I hope you can all bear with me while I learn the ropes. And there will be more aliens to unlock later on as well. I've made some more OC's to unlock, and you will gain access to aliens from previous seasons eventually.

When you get back to the hotel, you walk in on Olivia standing suspiciously in the corner of the room. She appears to be holding something behind her back while wearing a stiff smile.

Looks like she won't stop trying to obviously hide what she was making. But, you know her well enough to know that she's easily excited and distracted. A very volatile combination.

[Wade]: Hey Ollie! I unlocked a new feature on my watch. It looks like I can transfer the user to another person, but I've gotta do a full body scan with the watch. Wanna give it a spin?

[Olivia]: What?! Really?! Scan away, cuz!

She raises both of her arms, and you see a cat-like mask in one of her hands. She quickly goes to hide it again once she realizes that you've seen it, she blushes and quickly goes back to hiding it.

[Wade]: You promised...

[Olivia]: I'm sorry...but I couldn't help but get excited. I didn't put it on or anything! I'm just making this in case something happens. You're not mad are you?

[Wade]: Nah, not really. You technically kept your promise after all.

Olivia smiles warmly and gives you a big hug. At that very moment, Grandpa walks in holding a flier.

[Phil]: Good, you're both here. I found this after going to get some groceries at the local market.

He hands you the flier and Olivia tries to read it from over your shoulder. It's an ad for a family picnic event. There's going to be games, free food, and a grand prize for the family that comes in first place in most of the events.

[Olivia]: Uhhh...

[Phil]: I know, right! This is perfect for us. With all this alien nonsense going on, we haven't had any time to bond as a family.

[Olivia]: I dunno. I felt pretty close to you after you blasted that red robot in the eyeball.

[Phil]: You know that's not what I mean. I really think this would be good for us y'know?

What do you say? (Last short decision making bit. I promise.)

Phil gets a big goofy grin on his face that betrays his grizzled features.

[Phil]: One down...

Both of you look at Olivia and wait for her answer.

[Olivia]: Eh, why not. It can't be that boring right?

[Wade]: Hey, a prize is always welcome. I wonder what we're gonna get when we win.

[Phil]: That's the spirit, champ!

All of you leave the hotel and get ready to load up the RV, only to remember that the RV is still getting repaired. Fortunately, you all brought your bikes you, and they were miraculously unharmed in the crash. The ride to the park takes about 15 minutes, and it looks like you've arrived just in time to register for the activities. Grandpa soon leaves to sign up for the picnic, so you start walking around with Ollie. There has to be at least 20 families here, and they're all gonna lose to the Wakemans!

As you think this, some kid bumps into you. He's wearing a sideways baseball cap, and a track jacket with jeans. He doesn't even acknowledge that he's rudely bumped into you either. He just keep walking and playing his video game. You think about speaking to him about his rudeness, but Olivia beats you to the punch.

[Olivia]: Hey! Watch where you're going!

He keeps walking without so much as glancing over his shoulder. Olivia gets upset at this and goes to grab his shoulder. She forcefully turns him around and his eyes go wide.

[Rude kid]: Ugh, what do you want?

The rude kid blows a bubble with his gum and loudly pops it.

[Olivia]: An apology for starters?

[Rude kid]: Why doesn't your boyfriend over there watch where he's going instead? He looks pretty clueless about city life.

[Olivia]: What?!!

Olivia looks absolutely furious on your behalf.

What do you do?

You start to get frustrated yourself and walk in front of Olivia to defend her. No one talks to your cousin like that!

[Wade]: Don't talk to her like that, you punk.

The rude ginger boy just narrows his eyes at you, reaches into his pocket and pulls out a whistle.

[Rude boy]: Don't make me use this...

You can't help but make fun of him for how stupid he sounds right now.

[Olivia]: Is...is that a rape whistle?

[Rude boy]: That's it!

The boy blows hard on the whistle and you flinch a bit from the sharp sound. You look around to see if anyone's actually coming to his aid, but everyone just gives you a confused look. You look back at him with a smug look on your face.

[Wade]: So what now, coach? Want me to run laps around the park?

The rude boy continues to smile and points upward. As he does that, you hear a rustling in the trees above you. Something much bigger than a squirrel suddenly drops down on you!

You try to back up, but end up tripping because of how surprised you are. You trip backwards just in time to avoid being flattened by a teenage girl. She lands right in front of you on all fours, as if she were some sort of animal. You quickly crawl backwards away from this crazy chick.

She's wearing a blue tank top and shorts. But her most notable feature is her creepy smile. It kinda reminds you of the one Ollie gave you as a joke.

[Weird girl]: Hey there! You weren't bothering my dear brother Norman were you?

[Norman]: Shut it, Casey. I just wanted you to scare off these losers for me.

[Olivia]: I'd say the real loser is the one who needs his big sister to scare away his bullies.

[Casey]: So you're bullies, huh? Let me show you what happens to people that bully Norman.

Her creepy smile grows wider and she gets into some sort of combat pose. You and Olivia brace yourselves for whatever she's about to do, only for to be stopped by your Grandpa showing up.

[Phil]: Kids? What's going on?

[Wade]: Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The other guys stand down when a man and woman walk up to them, and place their hands on their shoulders. Must be their parents. The dad sort of looks like a geekier Reed Richards, and the mom has tan skin and platinum blonde hair.

[Gary]: Hey kids! I see you made some friends.

The kids you were about to fight with are now pretending that nothing ever happened.

[Clarissa]: Oh that's so wonderful! My name's Clarissa and this is Gary.

[Gary]: We're the Morrison's.

Both you and Olivia just stand there and stare at them for a bit.

[Phil]: C'mon kids, don't be rude. Sorry about that. We're the Wakeman's.

[Gary]: Oh, I saw your name on the board earlier. It's always good to have new contenders each year. It's a nice change of pace.

[Norman]: Who cares. We're just gonna win like we do every year. Everyone here always sucks.

[Clarissa]: Now now, Norman. That's no way to talk about all these nice people.

[Casey]: But mom, being nice doesn't win you anything.

Phil now shares the same look that you do. These guys are really full of it.

[Gary]: Oh lighten up, Clarissa. She was raised to be competitive after all. The Morrison's have won every year for 6 years straight.

Gary extends a hand to Phil.

[Gary]: But who's counting, am I right? Let's get out there and have some fun!

Phil doesn't look amused in the slightest. he still firmly grabs and shakes Gary's hand. but he tightens his grip so much that the smug look on his face disappears almost instantly.

He then lets go and walks away.

[Phil]: C'mon kids. We've got a competition to win.

Gary starts smiling once more and shouts out to you and your family.

[Gary]: May the best family win!

You, Ollie and Phil gather together and have a team huddle. While doing so, you tell Grandpa everything that happened.

[Phil]: So we're all in agreement that we don't like these guys, right?

[Wade and Olivia]: Right!

[Phil]: So let's go teach 'em a lesson!

[Wade and Olivia]: Yeah!

Roll 3d100's for the next 3 events. I'll take the highest number from each player. I'll roll for the rest of the Wakeman's.

Good shit! Writing...

The first event is the egg toss. You Grandpa, and Olivia get a good rhythm going, but you don't want to risk it by going too fast. you end up coming in third place, with the Morrison's in first. But you're way ahead of the other families at least.

The second event is bobbing for apples. You and Phil take turns bobbing for apples one after another. You use the brief breaks to get some air and spot your next target. Any apples that you catch are thrown to Olivia, who's been catching each and every one without missing a beat! She doesn't even spend any time walking over to the collection bucket. She manages to throw all of them into the bucket without moving from her original position. You're now neck and neck with the Morrison's score.

the third event is a sack race. It's a bit hard to fit all of you into one sack, but it's even harder for all 4 of the Morrison's to fit into one sack. All of you sync up pretty well in the beginning and focus to keep up that rhythm. Most families have fallen at least 2 or 3 times, but your family hasn't fallen a single time! Even someone as big and old as Grandpa Phil managed to time his jumps with yours and Olivia's. You blow out the rest of the competition by winning first place in the sack race! And with that, the Wakeman's take first, the Chang's are in second, and the Morrison's barely made it to third place. You, Phil and Olivia begin celebrating, knowing that you've aced the first half of the competition. You thought this would be much harder, but you guys are actually doing pretty well. But the Morrison's seem to be having a bit of a meltdown.

[Norman]: You screwed us up, Mom! We would've won if it weren't for you!

[Clarissa]: now Norman, you know I'm not good as good at this than the rest of you are.

[Casey]: Lighten up bro. We're still in third. We've still got a few more games left.

[Norman]: No! She's holding us back! We should kick her from the team!

[Gary]: Normie! She's family. You don't kick family.

[Norman]: You do when they're a big fat loser.

Everyone gasps after hearing him say this. Norman runs off into the woods in frustration. His sister gives chase soon after.

[Wade]: Yikes...

[Olivia]: My words exactly. Let's agree to never become that dysfunctional.

[Wade and Phil]: Agreed.

[Wade]: So what do we do now that we've got a break. I think the intermission is gonna last about an hour or so? Wanna go get some food?

You point to the large table they have set for everyone to collect food from.

[Phil]: Sure. But not at this dump. I found a great restaurant that makes a killer Squid-ink Linguini! How about it?

[Olivia]: Are you kidding me? That's the most normal thing you've tried to feed me all summer!

You and the rest of your family get your bikes and ride toward the restaurant you talked about. You're just excited to be having such a good time with them to be honest.

After getting to the restaurant, you've been asked to wait about 20 minutes for a table. Considering it took you about 10 minutes to reach this pace, you should just barely have enough time to eat and ride back. The three of you decide to go shopping to pass the time. You lead Grandpa to a clothing store, where he decides to a buy yet another tacky Hawaiian shirt to add to his wardrobe. You don't really complain because they make him happy. Olivia even helps you pick out some clothes that make you look nice. She's always been knowledgeable about stuff like that. You all exit the store with a hefty haul in tow, very pleased with your choices.

Suddenly, you feel something yank you up by your jacket and lift you off the ground! You look up to see a masked man riding a hover-board. You start to squirm and wiggle, but after looking down and seeing how high up you are, you decide against it.

[Masked man]: You think you're so cool, don't you?!!

[Wade]: What?! I don't even know you!

This guy's nuts!

[Masked Man]: We'll see how cool you are as a stain on the side of the road!

He drops you and watches you as you fall. You've gotta do something!

You quickly open up your watch and flip to Snotnose's icon. Actually, you should've gone with Snotrocket instead. It sounds waaay cooler. Wait, now isn't the time for this! You slam down hard on the watch and curl your body inward to make the transformation easier. Transforming in mid-air feels pretty weird. There's nothing to ground you so you just feel like you're folding into yourself. After the purple flash disappears, you look around for some thing to grab onto. Anything!

You fire a snot rocket at the masked man, and it connects to his chest. You dangle precariously 200 feet off of the ground, trying to carefully pull yourself up.

[Wade]: Dude, you attacked me on my day off. Not cool!

[Masked man]: What? What are you? Get off me you freak!

[Wade]: Sorry, I don't think know if this stuff comes off in the wash. Maybe if you let me down I can pick up your dry cleaning bill for you?

The masked man tries very hard to shake you off by flying in loops and making sharp turns. against buildings. You manage to hang on pretty well, despite having little to no control over where you're going. He decides to descend quickly and fly close to the ground. Incoming traffic makes it much more difficult to avoid being splattered. You run, jump and swing your way through the lunch rush, barely avoiding any close calls. But there's an incoming truck and no way to get out of the way!

You snort with all of your might and clear the truck before it splatters you on the windshield. You manage to snort with such force that you're flung toward the Masked man and onto his back. He tries to throw you off, but you sneeze onto his mask and blind him. He panics and ends up flying straight into a sign, throwing the both of you onto the concrete sidewalk. It didn't hurt too bad since your skin is pretty thick, but that guy is probably a lot more hurt. You walk toward him, but a blade comes soaring through the air, landing by your feet. You look up to see where it came from, only to see a girl in a raggedy cheerleader outfit and a domino mask. She also has some weird looking pom-poms.

[Cheerleader]: Die! Die! Die!

She jumps down and some sharp looking blades pop out of her pom-poms. Oh shit! Where are these guys coming from?

She made a serious mistake jumping from such a high place. Before she even hits the ground, you fire a snot rocket at her, gluing her to the tree. She struggles for while and starts spouting obscenities.

[Cheerleader]: Die! Die! Die! Dinosaur should die in a ditch!

You get tired of hearing her babble, and decide to glue her mouth shut for the time being.

[Wade]: Any other bad guys I should be worried about?

You hear a loud thumping noise in the distance. The ground shakes with the shear weight of whatever's coming toward you. You can hear screams in the distance, and your gelatin like nose starts to jiggle with each step. A large, buff woman walks up to you, carrying a slender man with a strange helmet on her shoulder. The woman is wearing some sort of skin-tight bear suit, that's nearly torn to pieces by her rippling muscles.

[Strange man]: Greetings, strange creature. I see that you've met my family. The boy lying on the floor is Slipstream, the girl you've trapped is Fear-Leader, the woman that is assisting me is Mama Bear, and I am Headcase. Together, we are "THE CRIME SYNDICATE!!"

[Headcase]: Is that...all that you have to say?

[Wade]: I mean, I never asked. The only thing I want to know is why you're targeting me. I never did anything to you or your family.

Headcase begins to smile deviously. Oh no! He's gonna do it again!

[Headcase]: As you can see, me and my family have unique gifts. We have always felt like our lives were unfulfilled, constantly having to hide what made us unique in order to conform to society's standards. That is until we started using our gifts to benefit ourselves. We began to live like kings! No one will ever be allowed to deface my family or deny them of what they want, ever again! By committing crimes, me and my family have grown closer than ever before. Now the world will be forced to acknowledge our power. Even you, tiny creature! The Wakeman's must perish for their insolence!

Ughhhh! He just keeps going! This was a mistake. But fortunately, he prattles on long enough for you to notice that Grandpa and Olivia caught up with you. They hide behind nearby car and wait for a good time to jump in.

[Wade]: OK! Ok! I'm sorry I asked alright? But thanks for the monologue though. Now I can label you losers when I throw you in the slammer.

Headcase reaches for his helmet and presses a button, but that's all he gets to do. Your snot rocket snags his face before he gets a chance to do anything, and drags him on top of his son. It ain't a pretty sight, but you've gotta deal with it. Maybe he'll get more jail time for it. You gel him and his son to the ground so they can't move. You wonder what he was trying to do, but it's not terribly important.

Mama Bear shouts in anger and goes to pick up her son and husband. She reaches down and rips up the entire part out of the sidewalk and holds it over her head.

[Headcase]: Good, Mama Bear! Now hurry up and free us!

She isn't paying attention to him at all. Instead she gets into a position to throw the concrete block at you.

[Headcase]: What? No you oaf! You'll doom us all!

[Slipstream]: M-mom?

Amongst the screaming of Headcase, Mama Bear actually stops to check on her son after realizing that he's conscious again. You weren't actually expecting this monster to have any type of motherly instinct, but maybe she isn't as crazy as the rest of these guys.

Suddenly, Grandpa fires a shot from his rifle at the cement block, destroying it and getting the gel all over Mama Bear's hands. Her two family members get stuck to her hands and chest, making her unable to attack. You go to deal the finishing blow, but a steel baton flies through the air, ricochets off a tree and metal rail, and slams against Mama Bear's head. The sudden blow knocks her over, allowing you to stick her and her family to the ground.

You look over to see where the baton came from, only to see Olivia wearing her charm on her wrist.

(Continued in Next Post)

You don't bother going back to the family event, not after everything that's happened. But you hear that the Chang's won by a landslide after two of the competing families failed to show up in the second half. The police arrived shortly afterward to arrest the Crime Syndicate, but you'll just call them the Morrison's for now. It wasn't hard to figure out really. the timing was way too perfect for it to be a coincidence. You just hope that the justice system can nail these guys to the wall for the damage they've caused.

You walk over to Olivia, but she averts her eyes from yours and looks to the ground.

[Wade]: Ollie, I-

[Olivia]: I know what you're gonna say. I shouldn't have put on the dangerous artifact. I know I shouldn't have! But I just didn't know what to do when he snatched you up like that.

[Wade]: Well I-

[Olivia]: And don't go pinning this on me. We said that we'd fight as a team from now on. What's with the solo act?

[Wade]: Listen I-

[Olivia]: All in all, I'm not sorry that I tried to help you.

She waits for you to yell at her or get mad, but you have no intention of scolding her. You instead give her a hug, which surprises her more than anything.

[Wade]: I'm not mad.

[Olivia]: You're not? Wait, why not?!

[Wade]: If I were in your shoes, I probably would've done the same thing. I won't keep side-lining you, but I need you to be careful alright? These guys may seem like pushovers, but they can easily kill anyone that doesn't have one of these.

You point to the watch, making her realize the responsibility that you carry.

[Wade]: If I screw up, people get hurt or worse. I can't afford to do that. And I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you guys.

You begin to trail off a bit, but Olivia puts a hand on your shoulder.

[Olivia]: We're team Wakeman, remember? When we work together, there's nothing we can't do.

You can't help but smile at her genuine optimism. she truly believes that you guys can do anything. And you're starting to believe her too.

[Wade]: Hey Ollie.

[Olivia]: Yeah?

[Wade]: Thanks.

[Olivia]: No prob. Hey, I snagged something I thought you'd like.

She presents Slipstream's hover-board to you! And it's fully-intact

[Wade]: Whoa, how'd you get this?!

[Olivia]: It was just lying by the side of the road somewhere. And there's barely a scratch on it too. Pretty lucky, huh?

[Wade]: Yeah, pretty lucky.

You admire the board in all of its glory. You also wonder where Grandpa ran off to during all of this confusion.

(Session Ending in Next Post)

Meanwhile...

Phil slinks off into a nearby ally and pulls out a device with a purple Omnitrix symbol on it. He faces it upward and presses the center, causing a message to be play. A purple alien with thorns protruding from the side of his head begins to address Phil. He wears a clean white space-suit.

[Purple Alien]: Phil Billings. Ex-Rooter, Deactivated Plumber and current caretaker of "Subject 10". You have been reactivated and assigned an important mission. You will accept.

Phil frowns after hearing how forceful he's being.

[Phil]: You know Koba, I go by "Wakeman" now.

[Koba]: Frankly Phil, I don't care. You will be addressed by the name we have you filed under to avoid any confusion.

Phil rolls his eyes and uses his fingers to pretend to squish the head of the projected hologram.

[Koba]: Hh. I'll cut to the chase then. I want you to head to these coordinates and investigate an underground bunker that we suspect is involved with illegal genetics research. There are rumors of a "Subject 11" that is being held there.

[Phil]: God, not again. I thought we were done with these post-war shenanigans.

[Koba]: Apparently not. There have also been rumors of aliens being smuggled in and out of your sector. Be sure to check it out.

[Phil]: Yeah yeah, more of the usual.

Phil sifts through the data and downloads it to his Plumber's badge.

[Phil]: So, you want me to detain this "Subject 11"?

[Koba]: Detain? Billings, I want you to kill it.

Phil's face drops upon hearing this. But he soon remembered that this wasn't anything new for him. Not for a Rooter.

To be continued...

Thanks for playing!
I intend to run for the next 2 days at the same time, 4pm(EST).
Let me know your thoughts like always. I love feedback!

It was a pretty good session.
Not sure how I feel about the stat system but I'll just have to wait to see how that plays out/get's integrated. I assume they supply bonuses or you nudge us to certain directions with arrows.
And I love the paste bins, helps out alot,

>>3076338

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. The stat system is mostly there to augment the abilities of Wade when he's just a regular human. Like how Ben became pretty good at fighting even when he wasn't transformed. Stats are used to lower DC and create new possibilities with your options.

The skills however will help Wade to get better at specific things while advancing stats. Skills can be learned from certain individuals with more experience than you in a certain field, and some skills are unique to them. Like Phil's "Marksmanship" and Olivia's "Gymnastics". There will be times when not much is going on, and I will allow players to decide whether or not they wish to advance a skill or not. When trained enough, these skills can provide bonuses when you do something that involves the skill.

And I'll try to update the paste bins regularly for each thread.

Thanks for running!

(And we're back!)

Eventually, Grandpa comes back and tells you that the repairs on the RV have been finished.

[Wade]: Well that was fast. It's only been like 2 days.

[Olivia]: Yeah that guy must be some sort of mechanical guru.

[Phil]: Well, I've come to know some reliable people over the years. And Darrel's one of 'em.

[Olivia]: Where'd you go anyway? We couldn't find you for a while after the cops came.

[Phil]: I uh, needed to hide my boom-stick before the feds came. Can't let them see me carrying a weapon like that in the city.

[Olivia]: I guess you're right. Your weapon isn't as well camouflaged as Wade's after all.

[Phil]: Right. You kids ready to go pick up the RV?

Grandpa gets on his bike and gets ready to depart. You look at your new hover board and consider riding it to the auto shop.

What do you do?

>Ride your bike. Much safer that way.
>Risk riding the hover board.
>Write-in

You consider riding the hover board, but it isn't a good idea at the moment. Your watch is timed out, so you won't be able to save yourself if you fall. And not to mention that you'd have to fly pretty high to avoid being spotted by the general public. You decide to just ride your bike with the rest of your family for now.

The ride to the auto shop takes about half an hour, and gallon of sweat between all of you. You legs feel so tight that you can barely stand up straight. Grandpa and Olivia seem to be doing just fine though. They're both probably used to this kind of exercise. Grandpa goes to chat with his buddy Darrel, while you and Olivia go to inspect the Rust Bucket. She looks better than new! This Darrel guy is pretty legit. Grandpa soon joins you in inspecting the RV, and gives an approving nod. He goes back to Darrel and slips him a tiny light blue crystal that he fished out of his pocket. Is he paying this guy in diamonds?!

[Phil]: Ok kids, you ready?

You both nod and load your bikes into the RV. After dropping by the hotel room to collect your stuff and check out, you hit the road again. Destination: Virginia.

What would you like to do? (Pick 2)

>Chat with Grandpa
>Help Olivia research the charm.
>Text Julie
>Practice with one of your aliens.
>Try out a transformation.
>Learn a skill from Olivia

You decide to ride up front with Grandpa for a while. He smiles after seeing you willingly come up front to spend some time with him. But he seems pretty distracted right now. Like he's a million miles away from you. You think of somehow finding a way to spark up a conversation with him and break this silence, but you get a much better idea. You fish out his favorite CD from his favorite classic-rock band "Shag Carpeting". As soon as you pop the disk in, his face softens up and he starts to smile.

[Phil]: YOU'RE playing Shag Carpeting? Now way. You used to hate these guys.

[Wade]: Well, they've kinda been growing on me over the years. They actually aren't half bad.

[Phil]: Hah! I know what you mean. I used to hate them too. I only got into them because an old buddy of mine would play this CD every chance he got. It drove me nuts.

[Wade]: Does he still like them?

[Phil]: Nah, he does. He's just...not around anymore.

The grim look your Grandpa had before is starting to return.

[Wade]: Were you thinking about him earlier?

[Phil]: I think about him every day, kiddo. He's the reason I settled down and decided to have a family. If it weren't for him, I don't know where I'd be right now.

[Wade]: Well maybe we can visit his grave someday. I'd like to thank him too. After all, he gave me an awesome Grandpa and an amazing cousin.

Phil smiles at you warmly and reaches over to tussle your hair a bit. He then takes his hand off the wheel, turns up the radio and starts playing the air guitar in tune with the song. You do the same and have a sick jam session together. The blaring of a truck horn brings you back to reality and causes you to reach over and turn the wheel for Grandpa. Both of you breathe heavily and have your eyes wide open after having a near death experience. You then look to each other and break out into laughter. Looks like you've really improved your Grandpa's mood today!
