[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5778153, member: 11437"] As Avatu approaches the energy field, everyone present can [i]feel[/i] power growing within the clearing, all centered on the space between the alien and the energy. Avatu continues forward, with nearly everyone present watching... and waiting... with little choice. [size=4][COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]"STOP!"[/COLOR][/size] That VOICE... that POWER... it could only have come from the energy field, a previously faceless, nameless, person-less source of otherworldly energy and nothing more. Avatu stops. He stares at the field. [color=gold]"You cannot stop me, father! I will not allow you to destroy this reality! This is my home now. I will not return to you!"[/color] He defiantly strides forward, nearly touching the energy ribbon. [size=4][COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]"BEHOLD! POWER YOU CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO FATHOM!"[/COLOR][/size] A wave of coruscating blue and silver energy emanates from the field, covering the entire clearing in less than a second, far quicker than almost any of the gathered supers can react. Only the quickest have a chance to avoid the strange energy [size=1](see below)[/size]. The rest are stunned and fall to their knees (OOC: no damage). Avatu is the first to rise. [color=gold]"We are not so easily conquered, father!"[/color] As some of the other heroes and villains rise to their feet, Avatu turns to them, but says nothing. His gaze returns to the energy field. [size=4][COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]"MY SON! YOU MUST RETURN TO OUR HOME. YOU CANNOT EXIST IN SUCH A PLACE. I WILL CRUSH IT UTTERLY AND YOU WILL BE DESTROYED. THIS IS NOT AN END I WISH FOR MY ONLY SON!"[/COLOR][/size] Avatu raises his clenched fist. [color=gold]"Destroy it, then. We will not be cowed by your power. We are not without our own power. We will do whatever is necessary to stop you."[/color] [size=4][COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]"YOU CANNOT HOPE TO STOP ME, MY SON. PERHAPS, HOWEVER, YOU CAN PROVIDE ME SOME AMUSEMENT. I AM NOT A MONSTER. IF YOU CAN DEMONSTRATE THAT YOUR REALITY SHOULD NOT BE DESTROYED, YOU SHALL BE SPARED."[/COLOR][/size] Avatu half-turns to look at his allies. [color=gold]"This is not like my father. He never negotiates. Be ready. I am highly suspicious."[/color] The Crusaders, assembled together for the first time since their arrival at the clearing, nod in agreement with their alien friend. [size=4][COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]"BEHOLD!"[/COLOR][/size] the powerful voice says. Above the energy ribbon, a rift opens in the air. Beyond the rift, the heroes and villains present can see some sort of alien landscape, a planet of some sort, a broken plain, strange mountains, a pair of red-orange moons, and green clouds hanging in a darkened sky. [size=4][COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]"HERE, YOU SHALL BATTLE EACH OTHER FOR MY AMUSEMENT! THE WINNER OF THIS WAR, A SECRET WAR, SHALL HAVE WHATEVER THEIR SIDE DESIRES. THE LOSERS WILL BE IMPRISONED IN MY INEFFABLE DUNGEON, NEVER TO RETURN."[/COLOR][/size] Avatu, a confused look on his face, again turns to the Crusaders. [color=gold]"Such a bargain...

From the shadows, behind the villains, a curious figure emerges. The heroes and villains recognize this as probably the most powerful super-being in the known universe - [b]NEMESIS[/b]. The villains, seeing Nemesis, part like the Red Sea. Nemesis strides confidently towards the energy field. [color=lightblue]"I do not need these worthless allies,"[/color] Nemesis says. [color=lightblue]"I will destroy these others on my own. And then, you will grant my wish, otherworldly one."[/color] [size=4][COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]"NO! THE BARGAIN IS SET.
