MutantHigh Episode 4: Deadzone

Joey is just crazy enough to try and jump inside the sphere, just cause, well he wouldn't leave his new friend off to an uncertain fate, alone.

Hero Point spent if needed.

Mon dieu, she's a lot more dangerous than I first thought, this new scent the wind brings me is not nearly as enticing as the other one, it's scary. Domi thinks when she sees the effect Eris is having on the people around her.

Domi is startled when Eris gets surrounded by the sphere and even more so when Joey attempts to leap after her. "What the... Joey!"
 

"Yes, lets do that." Eris replies evenly,not letting on that the sphere is unnerving at all. She winks at Joey as he moves to jump into the closing sphere with her, turning back to face the king, she lets a predatory grin come over her face. "Talk."

the Deadzone
sometime in the evening

Joey leaps towards the sphere but is too slow (even with the hero point for the reroll). He is caught middair by the sphere of lightning and for the second time today he feels like he is roasted alive. Only this time it is from the inside out instead through sunbeams. For a moment he hangs in the air, then he is thrown backwards and tumbles to the ground in a burned heap of flesh (disabled, your damage soak total was 20, it still failed by more than 10).

"Now that's what I call an attitude. Lovely really. Well, ok it scares me more than a bit too I admit. But I bet you allready saw that. Still you can drop the tough act cause you see, despite the fact that you really impress me you are just a delta and there is a certain limit to the powers you can have. I on the other hand wield powers like the alphas did in their time. So despite my guts telling me differently I KNOW that you can't harm me even on your best day."
He totaly dropped the reborn Aztec king act once the sphere had closed and sounds more like the kids at school back home. Now that he is no longer covered with sparks you can also see that he can't be older than 25.
"On the other hand you just happen to be the worst coincidence possible for me right now. That is because you fit perfectly into a myth of our new religion. It will take a while to explain the details but to cut a long story short, they believe you to be the avatar of Queztalcoatl, the jaguar god just as they believe me to be the avatar of the sun god. Maybe I should have led that part out then I created the religion but I felt a strong female idol to balance the main god would lead to a more stable society."

"I could care less about you wanting to be worshipped as a God or a king, or whatever the hell it is. I just want my friends and I to be able to leave. To get that I need Domi's people as well. You may be strong as hell, but I am not scared, I will fight you." she quite says plainly. "Or we could play nicely together and help each other out. You don't want your people to think another avatar has come to fight you. You are kind of yummy looking, I wouldn't mind sticking around for awhile, if someone could persuade me." she says licking her lips seductivey.

"Good, I was affraid you would insist on opposing me. If I had to destroy you that would spread more doubt in my followers than I would like. So I offer you, your friends and the prisoners free passage out of the Deadzone."
He continues after staring at you for a long moment.
"Under the condition that you play along and do not cause me any more trouble. My people will accept that you spoke against me once but if you do it again they will soon start to think that there is some kind of trouble among the gods or some other nonsense. You have to be carefull that something like religion does not develop unwanted twists in the beginning phase after all. So try to behave for now."

Joey lays on the ground a smoking heap...

You see people gathering around you, someone with shining eyes that seem to make the pain more bearable just by looking at you and another one who smears some kind of bad smelling paste on your flesh. Others are speaking.
"He is a fool, even I would not risk to try such a leap."
"You have no sense for that Slicer, I think it so cute he tried to save his girlfriend."
"Just see that you don't become jealous of her then."
"Oh please, afterall he still is just a commoner."
 

"Joey!" Domi screams again when she sees the young Delta collapse, she races towards him, "Joey, you foolish American, why did you do that?"
 

Joey lays still, breathing lightly, though ragged, not really responding to anything... his body continually drips waters...
