"Y'know sweetheart, I've been called slimy before myself. It's gotta hurt a sensitive type like you," Guy says to Princess Python.

"Guy! I'm right here," Ice yells out.

"Shhhh, babe, I'm workin' an angle here," he tells her.

"How about I work my own angle?" Python says as he turns a blaster on him.

Suddenly she's hit by a blast in the arm and she drops the gun.

"Now's the chance. One hit will take her," the voice calls out.

"I'd love to say I don't hit girls, honey, but I do and you ain't," Guy says finishing her off.

Ice & Guy look back to see Bishop as their newest ally. Guy isn't impressed. "They make you wear that trenchcoat in 'generic hero' school?".

I'm so glad they finally made Guy. He's another of those great characters to write.

Okay let's see I lost a couple of my placeholders. Let's see who I can bring in. Shadow King with Mental Shields will be #1. He'll start at U23 and try to MC Omni-Man. AV10 on DV16 +1. Gets a 2. Fine, fine start.

I'll also try Scarecrow, Vet Icons with Vendetta. He will Psychic Blast Hercules, declaring him his Vendetta-ee. AV9 +1 on DV17. Gets 5.

Cyborg Superman on Herc, AV10 on DV17 +1 since there's hindering in the way. Gets 8. That's better. 2 to Herc after Invulnerable.

"You want to attack Hercules," Abdul Farouk, the Shadow King urged Omni-Man.

"No one tells me what to do," Omni-Man said, fighting his control.

"Hm, if it is a battle of wills you want, then I will give it to you," Farouk said. Invisible to the naked eye, a titanic struggle ensued, one which Omni-Man eventually won forcibly ejecting the telepath from his mind. "Incredible," Farouk said. "Rarely has anyone been able to resist me."

"I am the Scarecrow, and your fears are mine to command. Telll me," he said, gassing Hercules, "what are you afraid of?"

"I am the Lion of Olympus!" Hercules said, fighting off the gas's effects. "I fear nothing!"

"You should," Henshaw said, hitting him with a mighty blast of energy.

You've got Shadow King and Scarecrow in the same spot. Care to correct that for me?

"Omni-Man. Prepare to witness the might of Doom!" Kristoff said, firing off a blast at him.

"I'm sorry. Was I supposed to be impressed?" Omni-Man asked.

"Perhaps you'll find this more impressive," the Goblin Queen said, hitting him with a blast of psychic energy that seemed to have more effect against him.

"Nice one," Dr. Alchemy said. "Now let's see what happens if I turn the oxygen in the air around him into ammonia?" Omni-Man was left gasping on the ground.

"Hello?" the Scarecrow said. "A little help?"

"What's the matter Scarecrow?" Hercules asked. "Scared?"

"Do I understand that you're just a punk kid?" Guy asks.

"I am more than a match for you," Kristoff indignantly responds.

"We'll see about that," Guy says as he constructs a giant paddle and proceeds to pound Kristoff in the rear with it.

"This is what you get for mouthing off! Don't worry, if you forget your lesson your big brother Guy will be glad to teach it to you again. And again. And again...".

"Come now, even you must be afraid of something," Scarecrow said, pumping all the gas in his tanks directly into Hercules's face.

"Nothing!" Hercules declared proudly. Until the gas took hold. Then the Olympian found himself surrounded by people. No one noticed him. No one even gave him a second glance. "What is this?" Hercules mused aloud. "Tis as if none of these recognize me." "Should we?" one of the passers by asked. "What?" the godling demanded. "Dost thou not know me? I am Hercules! Prince of Power!" It was met with a chorus of "What?Did he say something?" and "Hercules? Who's that? Never heard of him." "Nay," Hercules said, stunned, "nay, tis...tis not possible..."

"Hercules, shake it off," Bishop shouted to him.

"Nay," Hercules muttered, despondent, "I am forgotten." Bishop aimed his gun at Scarecrow to take him out.

"You will do no such thing," Henshaw said, suddenly beside him. He snatched the gun from his hand and broke it in two while at the same time ramming Bishop with his elbow with a force that would have shattered a brick wall.

"You've looked better there, my friend," Sage welcomes Bishop.

"Sage! It's good to see you. Be careful with this Cyborg Superman, though."

"Indeed. And he should be careful of me. Deadman...?" she says, "His mind is clear. You could take him."

"I don't know who the heck you are, girl," Deadman says in Cyborg Superman's form as he's possessed to attack Shadow King, "But I'm glad you're on our side."

A wounded Shadow King turns to Sage. He telepathically enters her head, "You are superb, woman. And now ...doomed. You've made a fatal error."

"Wouldn't be the first time I've been told that. Now get out of my head before I have him hit you again," Tessa replies using her considerable skill to get him out o her mind.
