[QUOTE="Teflon Billy, post: 681175, member: 264"] [b]The Mormodillo[/b] led the charge up the stairs, [b]Tephra[/b], the spirit of vulcanism, a few scant steps behind him and [b]The Fakir[/b], master of yogic mysticism drifting, along behind the both of them. As he crested the first flight of steps and arrived on the second floor, he saw the diminuitive figure of [b]The Cranium[/b] standing stock still. [b]The Mormodillo[/b], failing to recognize him (due to the mental influence mentioned a few posts back) simply nodded a greeting before continuing up the stairs to see that [b]Kronus[/b] and [b]Magnetik[/b] were not unduly imperiled. [b]Tephra[/b] ran up and saw him as well. Unaffected by his mental coercion, she nonetheless also fled up the stairs with nary a backward glance at [b]The Cranium[/b] (concerned as she was for the safety of her liege, [b]Kronus[/b]) [b]The Cranium[/b] chuckled mirthlessly and began moving toward the staircase, intent on leaving this debacle behind him. [b]Lord Dire[/b] had charged him with both obtaining the [i]Dimensional Warp Transmogrifier[/i] from warehouse 13A and using it to summon the dread [i]Loa[/i] of natural disaster: [b]Apocalypso[/b]. His deific "essence" was to have been the "battery" for [b]Dire[/b]'s [i]Disastro-Beam[/i] To call the mission's failure complete would be a gross understatement. Firstly: [b]Apocalypso[/b] had not been summoned. His own hand-picked science team's poor understanding of the machinery had caused--as near as he could figure--the cross-dimensional summoning of [b]The Bionic Ninja[/b] in the Loa's stead. Not good. Secondly: [b]Big Lummox[/b] had been recaptured. There was virtually no way [b]The Cranium[/b] could see to avoid this simple fact. The [b]Lummox[/b] would, upon regaining consciousness, likely be [i]livid[/i] with he, [b]The Cranium[/b] personally, and [b]Lord Dire[/b]'s organization more generally. This catastrophe had removed one of his Lord's premier chesspieces from the board. Finally: He was likely only going to escape with his life and freedom, and nothing to show [b]Lord Dire[/b] for his efforts. Not even the [i]Crystal Skull[/i] from that ridiculous Voodoo Priestess. As he approached the staircase, the slight, withered figure of [b]The Fakir[/b] floated serenly ito view. "That will be far enough that you are walking, thank you very much" The Yogic Master intoned to the Mental Titan. Momentarily shocked that [b]The Fakir[/b] was able to notice him, [b]The Cranium[/b] Narrowed his eyes. [i]Well, if nothing else[/i], he thought, [i]I can destroy this imbecile. He is almost certainly the weakest of them, but I will take what small consolation I can from his destruction....[/i]" He Telekinetically sealed ([b]OOC: [i]Create Object[/i] extra on his TK[/b]) the staircase to the third floor, ensuring the remaining heroes would stay well away from this trouncing... .
