Wrath Of Ward: Terror From Beyond The Stars
Posted: Fri Feb 11, 2011 5:20 pm
Unlike Overmaster Wars: The Sound Of Great Thunder, I can't post the whole of The Wrath of Ward. Much like those offers you get in the mail or online...you have to join:) the Yahoo.com club for the whole story. But don't worry...its free. This story originated as roleplaying between me(as The Union's assorted team of superheroines) and Mr. Pomy Smith(http://pulse.yahoo.com/_WPUKZZADL6EBDFJ3B4ABUSUWBI) as Ward, the titular villain of the story.
Mr. Smith always joked that our combined sessions would have made good animated shows, like Justice League or Teen Titans. So, when he editted the bulk of our sessions together as a story, I decided to edit them into chapters, or "episodes". Thus, The Wrath of Ward(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wrathofward/) was born.
Here is a few episodes to start the ball rolling:
Episode One: Terror From The Stars! Enter Ward, The Darkelf!
The flames surrounding her lean form could have easily killed any
normal human. But, thanks to the Belt of Osiris which circled her
sensual waist, she was unharmed. With the super-senses of the Mask of
Thoth, she scanned the flaming area, searching for signs of
survivors.
Her civilian name was Isis Isetnofret. But right now, clad in a gold
costume with four artifacts powered by the essences of four Egyptian
gods, her name was that of one of the greatest females in the history
of the world.
Her name was Cleopatra.
As usual, her day kicked off with a bang. Just a few minutes ago, she
was just a normal college student, making her way to the first class
of the day, until she received an alarm from Central Citadel, the
Union's HQ. Seemed that a fiery villain known as Pyre had escaped
from prison, and had taken solace at an orphanage. Police had quickly
surrounded the place, which caused the half-crazed villain to lash
out with his powers...which resulted in this new inferno.
Grumbling to herself, Isis made a quick change, and was there in less
than 10 minutes. Now, the Egyptian heroine made her way through the
fire, searching for the perp.
"By Re's Wings!!" she exclaimed. "It is as hot as the Sahara sands in
here!"
Still, she continued on, her duty as a superheroine overshooting
anything else. But she had to hurry. Even though she was invulnerable
on the outside, she was not on the inside. She would run out of air
soon, if she did not hurry.
So she pressed on, and soon found what she was looking for. The fiery
bastard was there, holding a group of children hostage.
"Marvellous..." he purred."So, you're Venusian Vixen, right?"
Cleopatra frowned. "What in Set's name are you babbling about? I'm
not Jazmon, you fiery desert scorpion! I'm Cleopatra, present-day
defender of justice and avatar of the Egyptian Gods!!"
Pyre only paused for a moment. "You had time to work on that, didn't
you?"
The heroine grinned. "Yep. Nice ring to it, doesn't it?"
"Yep, Cleo, it does." Pyre chuckled. "Too bad you won't be saying it
anymore!"
As he said this, he let loose with a blaze of fire, which could
instantly fry a person to a crisp. But, for Cleopatra, it only earned
a mere shrug.
"Take this, you defiler of the innocent!" she yelled, holding her
hands up, powered by the Bracelets of Horus. Two powerful blasts of
energy slammed into the villain, knocking him out.
And the worst was over.
It did not take long for the Egyptian Empress to free the children,
and place the villain in police custody. However, just as the cameras
were coming her way, she only flashed them a smile, before taking to
the sky.
Seconds later, Isis Isetnofret was back to her regular self, and
heading to her class...
With the hero of the day gone the cameras turned to the police
dragging away the crazed pyromaniac. But standing in their way a
diminutive figure clad in black leather effortlessly plucked the
villain from their grip.
"What do you think you're doing buddy?" were one cop's last words
before the long haired stranger knocked his head clear from his
shoulders.
He snapped the cuffs of the pyromaniac saying, "Get out of here, go
have some fun", as the remaining 2 cops opened fire. The ancient
elven warrior ignored the primitive weapons his magically toughened
skin felt only a slightly pleasurable prickly sensation. The male cop
he poked in the eye driving his finger into the brain, he turned to
the policewoman who was still firing for lack of any better plan.
He thrust his hand into her uniform trouser and she screamed as he
lifted her several feet off the ground. "Who was that woman? Where
can I find the bitch?", he demanded. The cop screamed "She's called
Cleopatra! She's a superhero they just come and they go I don't know
where she is please put me down!"
Isis was just on her way back to attend classes, when suddenly
something caught her attention on one of the television screens in
one of the classrooms. A small figure in black leather held a
policewoman by...her pants? She did not want to know. But, didn't she
just leave that place? Where did this guy pop up from?
Still holding the now sobbing policewoman by the cunt he turned to
the cameras, "Cleopatra, If you can hear me, my name is Ward and I
challenge you to a combat. If you do not come back to meet me I shall
start slaughtering people and I rather gather your duty is to prevent
that sort of thing. You had better hurry or..."
The lady cop burst into flames screaming in agony as the sadistic
monster laughed.
"By the Eyes of Horus!!" Isis exclaimed, not believing what she was
seeing. How could he take a life so easily?! Doesn't he know all life
is sacred? No one had the right to choose who lived and who died!
In a blink of an eye, she was already changing into her outfit.
First was her gold leotard, which slipped on effortlessly on her
athletic body. Then, came the bracelets, the belt, and the golden platform sandals.
Finally, the Mask of Thoth covered her eyes.
Cleopatra was reborn.
With inhuman speed, she was up in the air, on her way to the scene.
As she neared the scene, she landed gracefully in front of the
villian, her hair dramatically blowing in the wind.
"Malicious creature!" she declared, pointing a golden fingernail at
him. "How dare you trespass on the sanctity of life? In the name of
Re, I am Cleopatra...and I will make you repent!!"
"Repent!" he laughed the word, "You have no idea the enormity of
my crimes or the savagery of the sins I delight in. If at any time I
have done one thing that was kind or not motivated by my selfish
desires then that I do repent"
The hunter looked over his target. He would not use his full sensory
capabilities; this would reveal almost every fact about his foe and
not only reduce the challenge of the battle but spoil any surprises
she might have for him.
In visible light she was a knockout; dark skinned with blond hair to
match her gold outfit (on which he was sorely tempted to use 'x-ray'
vision) probably as tall as he was without the glittering golden
platform sandals laced around her well toned calf, as it was he was
looking up into her masked face.
The dark elf realised he was still holding a smoking corpse. He
tossed it aside carelessly. The courageous policewoman shattered when
she hit the ground ashes spreading in the breeze.
"Are you really one of the fabled Union? I came here hoping to test
my skills against powerful fighters. To look at you I'd think I have
wasted my time. I warn you woman if I do not find you entertaining
your death will be agonising!"
"By Re's Wings..." she murmured, as the villain shattered the
remains of the policewoman. She closed her green eyes, repulsed by
the scene. But, as Ward mentioned the Union, her eyes widened behind
her mask.
"So, you've heard about us." she said, bawling her fists. "Then you
should know the penalty for taking a life!"
"By the way, eloquent speech about your 'enormity' of crimes." she
chuckled. "Funny, I kind of pegged you for the 5th dimensional imp
type...but you seem to be as tough as the Serpent God himself!"
~We can test that theory~ she thought to herself. Noticing the
police car beside her, she bent down, bending and spreading her lean
legs. Her tender hands gripped the bottom of the car, and within
seconds, she held it over her head.
"Here handsome!" she grinned wickedly. "Here's a package for you,
courtesy of Re!" Then, she hurled the vehicle at her newfound enemy...
Ward's eyes widened as he watched her crotch as she bent to lift the
car, seeing the bulges of her pussy through the strip of gold
material was so much more rewarding than peeking with his 'x-ray
vision'.
It took both hands to catch the flying vehicle. The force of the
impact sent the villain skidding backward several meters. ~Good~, he
thought, ~she is strong but if that is the extent of her strength I
will take her easily. Let's see if she is holding back~. He returned
the car at exactly twice the speed that she had thrown it to him.
"Take back your pathetic gods package. You shall inflict no penalties
on me! You will be my reward!"
"My gods!" the Golden Damsel exclaimed to herself, as the metal
projectile was returned to her at twice the velocity. Closing her
eyes in fright, she braced herself for the impact.
It came.
She gained a good grip on it, but the sheer momentum sent her
skidding back a few yards, her high heels digging deep trenches in
the ground. Gritting her teeth, she braced herself, finally coming to
a stop 20 feet from where she originally stood.
Great Serpents of Set! He was not a foe to be joked with. By the
scowl on the Darkelf's face, he meant business.
"G-great throw..." she grinned, hiding her anxiety."You're a regular
Babe Ruth, aren't you?"
She put the car down, and faced him.
"What do you mean that I am your 'reward'?" she asked in anger. "I'm
not some prize for your twisted fantasy. I've come for retribution!"
With that, she flew forward, before stopping and hovering over
Ward. "Here! You didn't like your first present? How about another
one from Horus!"
She held her fists out in front of her. The Bracelets of Horus glow a
bright gold, before a volley of powerful blasts, enough to shatter
steel. The blasts sliced through the air towards their target
With a smooth fluid motion of the hands Ward erected a magical
barrier. The energy bolts exploded as they hit the shield as the
second bolt hit Ward realised that his hands were getting hot, a
split second later the third bolt hit him and the world erupted in a
blue light.
The next thing he knew he was lying in a pile of rubble. He
remembered the gold clad girl calling him a baby and then Ruth (a
girl's name)? Then what? He hadn't been hit like that since...He
smiled (he almost laughed) It had been a long time since he had been
that close to getting himself killed. He knew there was only one
possible source for that kind of power; he was facing a goddess.
What a battle he had flown blindly into. At last, an opponent with
enough power to be a real threat.
He would be very disappointed if she was just another
pathetic 'chosen one' adorned with talismans doing her gods wishes.
He looked at her again this time seeing in all of the magical and non
magical wavelengths. He was very disappointed; he really felt that he
should vent his frustration on her, NOW.
The rubble covering him scattered as he leapt. He moved as a blur,
zigzagging to avoid any energy bolts but Cleopatra did not have time
to fire. He was upon her faster than she could react, covering a
distance of twenty meters in a heartbeat. He had no time to stop
and admire her face now; he was close up but his heightened senses
took in the dark-skinned beauty's features, the enhancement mask
covering very little.
He grabbed her wrist and swung her bodily into the air. The gold clad
girl squealed in pain as her body followed her cruelly twisted wrist,
a scream suddenly silenced as her face hit the road creating a spider
web of crack in the roads surface.
~Nice legs~ he thought as they went past his face and her sandals
pointed skyward.
"You should have kept firing always strike your opponent when they
are down". He smirked.
To prove his point he kicked her in the side sending her tumbling
away. Dazed and smarting the gold clad girl felt her twisted wrist
and realised the bracelet was gone. Flash bulbs went off; the press
were feet away getting close-ups. The darkelf slid the bracelet onto
his wrist he could not use it and did not need it but he hoped the
blasphemy offended her.
Cleopatra sat up, spitting out dust. Her gold lipstick was slightly
smeared, her hair dishevelled, and her Mask of Thoth almost turned
sideways. Not to mention the film of dust on her beautiful face.
Quickly, she smoothed down her hair and straightened her mask. As she
rose to her feet, she could feel slight pain in her side from the
savage kick Ward delivered to her.
Hell, her wrist still hurt from his physical assault. She was nearly
invulnerable... ~How powerful is this guy?!~ She thought, swallowing
the rising fear she was feeling. He was as strong as her...not to
mention fast! He seemed to even know magic! And now, he
displayed one of her Bracelets of Horus, an evident first strike in
their battle.
"Without your trinkets you are nothing. Do you think you can stop me
from stripping the rest from your pretty body?"
He wondered how good a shot she would be with her left hand he knew
he had reduced her rate of fire.
"By the gods that empower me...I can damn well try!" she declared
through clenched teeth, still nursing her tender wrist. Yep she could
think of many things to do to the dark elf...but first, she had to
clear the area of civilians.
"Hey you idiots! Scram!!" she screamed to the assorted news camera
people and reporters. Most of the people obeyed, while some drifted
around, trying to see what would happen next.
The Egyptian Empress did not give the stragglers much time to
retreat, before she put her next part of the plan in action. With
inhuman speed, she flew to one of the telephone poles. Wrapping her
slender arms around the large pole, she tugged with a tad bit with
her mighty strength. The pole easily uprooted from the ground, and
the heroine quickly snapped the cords that connected it.
With the pole in her arms, she flew forward to where her enemy stood.
"Taking my bracelet, huh?" she spat. "Well, this is what I do to
vermin like you!!"
Like a batter in the major leagues, the Golden Damsel easily swung
the colossal pole, ready to send Ward out of the park.
Literally.
