Epic M&M: Issue 3 (IC)

Sanjay suddenly realizes he should have said it was anything but cookies. "Man, getcher own..." The fire alarm sounds. "Saved by the bell," he thinks with a gulp. He sticks the package under his arm. "We better go see what set that off, hey?" he says, racing off down the hall.

The press continue to take footage and snap pictures.

"Sorry, Straightjacket. We're kind of at our limit," the officer says.

The cop cars are full. Two cops each and three thugs in the back seats each. Maybe you could cling to the roof of one...

"I could drive you," someone says from behind you. It's the younger woman from the woods. She grabs your arm and pulls you over to her car. "C'mon, get it. Before those reporters get at you again," she adds with a giddy grin. "Mom is going to get checked out in hospital, so it's just you and me."

"That's my boy!" your dad says encouragingly. Suddenly that giddy grin looks a bit... foreboding. Camera crews or in a car with your dad and an attractive young woman... choices choices...

In a low voice "C'mon Dad, lay off" then louder to the young lady"Sure, thanks. I could use a ride. I'm probably expected back some time soon. I gotta Barbeque to go to. You know where the compound is right?"

"You can keep the extra's and beat the heck out of your buddies at school while gaming." She hands you easily 20 of the chips in a plastic bag.
"Thanks," says Randall with a wink as he stashes the bag in a coat pocket. "Our secret."
 

Fire alarm.. wait. It can't be Nova, she's here...

Kevin stand up and walk back to the instute, curious to know what is happening.

Vince of course is already long gone and likely has arrived at the source of the alarm.

Ben looks kind of embarassed again. "That's a lot of thingies of fabric," he says as he slides out from under them.

"Beep beep, cart comin' through!" says Monica as she quite literally gets a running start and leaps into the cart as it careens towards you. You stop it easily. Soon it's full of cloth, and you are all on your way through the mall again, each bearing a few bags of cloth.

John
"Um... I kinda know the way. I'm sure I can find it," she says cheerfully. Luckily enough, you do find it. It was only a quick ten minute drive to the gates. You're just about to get out when she grabs your arm.

"Wait, don't I get to thank you?"

You hear your dad chuckling and you'll be danged if he isn't leaning against your door, keeping it closed, relaxing and checking his nails for dirt.

Randall
You walk a few blocks to another big house. Before you go up to the doors, the girls put those patches on the back of their neck. They wait to let you do the same before going up to the door for the LAN party.

An overweight boy answers the door. "Hey, 'bout time. We were about to start things without you guys. Who's the newbie?"

"Oh, this is my friend, Randall. He's on our team."

"Cool enough. We're doing Dragon Flight first. We're so going to kick your butts!"

He leads you downstairs to a room with about 20 computers. Luckily, there are enough for each of you! You notice as you are coming in, the girls hang off you, and you are getting some nasty stares from some of the geeks.

Sanjay
You watch Vince blitz off. Unimpeded, now you can check your package out.


Kevin
You start to walk towards the smoking dorms. Carl is running well ahead of you. A roar of flame just above your head singes your hair as Nova blasts past, followed closely by Thunder.

Raisa
The fire alarm interrupts your dancing.

Johan
An alarm sounds and Sanchez quickly checks what's happening in the computer.

"Fire in the boys dorm. Have a few of you watch the melting process and lets go, sweetie!" she says, tossing you (the real you) a ring. "Put that on and lets go!" She surprises you by suddenly taking flight and zipping towards the dorms.

You receive a ring of flight +7 temporarily. You still have your force field belt.

Vince
You flash towards the dorms. Your food is charred when you get there. Oh wait, that happened before! My bad!

You flash towards the dorms. You see black smoke billowing out of X12's room. Flames are licking up the curtains. The rooms to either side have smoke coming from them as well. You see Nova streaking through the sky, trailing flame, heading straight towards the X12's upstairs room, Thunder right behind her. Carl is running across the field some way back. Sanchez and Johan are flying (yes flying) from the workshop. Well behind Carl, Kevin is walking along towards the dorms.

Anna and Tara come out of the halls from the common room, Anna already in her armor. She flies straight for the window, rockets screaming. Tara looks unsure how to help, looking for something to help fight the blaze with.

X12
You quietly lay there as the fire roars around you.

Sanjay watches Vince zip down the hallway past him and slows down to a stop with a smirk on his face. "Heh heh, sucker." He looks down at the package in his hands. After giving it a shake next to his ear, he disintigrates the paper and opens the box.
 

Sanjay
You open the lid of the box. A few vials are within. One vial has a very small sample of clear liquid. One has what appears to be a small amount of blood. One has a thick, black, oily substance. A personal data storage pad sits in the middle of the case. You can tell it's high tech, and appears to be designed for field chemistry. The screen of the pad flashes "Private and Confidential. Thumb scan required for activation."

Sanjay frowns and closes the box, sealing it in metal. "I'll deal with this later," he mumbles to himself. Carrying the box, he runs outside and flies up, trying to find the source of the fire from the outside.

X12

"OH MY GOD!! X!!" Vince dashes into the fire and picks up X12. Running him a safe distance away from the fire, Vince will smother any flames on X12 or his clothes and then try to help revive him.
