Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 28

Myst summoned Harry from just after he used the save orb, causing a messy haired toddler to appear out of thin air wearing light blue pajamas covered in animated broomsticks. "How are you doing?"

"Better than I was," Harry replied as he walked/stumbled over to the stack of books in front of Hermione, not used to walking on sand as a toddler. He picked up the spatial ring on the top of the stack of books and slipped it his ring finger, glad that the rings adjusted size. He grabbed the fi...

Harry smiled as Ginny walked out from behind a large rock with green hair and a fluffy white robe. "Is something wrong with the dress?"

"You can see everything," Ginny complained, not particularly interested in giving everyone a free show.

"Which is why we handed you a robe," Hermione pointed out, not particularly surprised that Ginny was uncomfortable with the short skirt.

"Don't worry, you can change back once the demon takes your appearance," Myst told Ginny then used the...

Amy watched Taylor vanish with the last of Peter's clones then looked at Myst. "What are you plotting?"

"What makes you think I'm plotting something?" Myst asked with amusement as he used his summoning power to find the woman he was looking for.

"Because you're smirking," Amy replied with a grin.

"Details," Myst replied with amusement as he summoned Taylor from two seconds after she put the last clone down. "Amy thinks I'm plotting something."

Taylor gave Myst an amuse...

Hermione Granger blinked as she appeared in a strange world next to Harry and a handful of strangely dressed people. "What's going on?"

"I found a magic school that will take us," Harry replied with amusement.

"Seriously?" Hermione asked hopefully.

"Here," Taylor said as she handed the attractive bushy haired girl a whiteboard filled with information.

Hermione skimmed over the information on the whiteboard once before taking a minute to carefully read everything. "Yes!...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 24

Taylor watched the last of the Starfleet personnel vanish then turned to look at Myst. "Do you think they'll make it back to Earth?"

Myst skimmed over the most likely timeline that resulted from tossing the crews together. "It takes ten years but they eventually get home."

Noelle turned to look at Myst. "How come it took them longer than the original crew?"

"They took time to smell the roses, get to know people and salvage enemy ships," Myst replied with a grin. "They also a...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 23

"Now what?" Taylor asked Myst, wondering how many villains they could get rid of.

"Now I summon some help…" Myst trailed off as he checked on Emma's clone and found her in the middle of a Weasley twins sandwich in a boxing ring. "I didn't need to see that," he muttered with amusement, a touch surprised that Fred and George had a number of girls cheering them on while they fucked Emma's clone.

"What's wrong?" Taylor asked.

"Nothing, sometimes you just catch things you don't...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 22

Myst spent another twenty seconds with his eyes closed relaxing on the couch and enjoying the quiet then opened his eyes and looked at Jen. "You mentioned my soul being unstable earlier, do I need to worry about keeping the school?"

Jen used her magic to check. "You should be fine unless you turn the school into a slaughterhouse or recruit a couple of thousand magic users in the next couple of weeks."

"Does that mean I can recruit a couple of hundred?" Myst asked as he handed Jen ...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 21

Myst pulled his attention away from the demon that looked like Hermione and looked at the pair of familiar looking redheads that had appeared in front of him wearing black robes. "The archmage should have put a bell on the exit. Welcome to Brockton Bay."

"Never heard of it," Fred Weasley replied as he glanced around the warehouse, pausing when he noticed James and Lily. "Are we dead?"

"I don't think so," George replied as he pulled his attention away from the collection of weapons...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 20

John glanced at Myst as he walked out of the warehouse. "Have they caught James up to speed?"

"Not yet," Myst replied as he closed the door behind him, not wanting to let the warmth out or let some of the heroes hear the rest of his plan.

John took another drag on his cig then blew the smoke out. "Is there a reason you 'forgot' to mention the diary?"

"I don't want to listen to a lecture on morality or honorable combat," Myst admitted, wanting to get things settled before he ...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 19

Myst pulled his attention off the Item World girl and looked at Jen. "How sure are you that my summoning magic won't be affected?"

"I'm a genie, I have nearly phenomenal cosmic power," Jen replied smugly.

"Screw it," Myst muttered, knowing he'd rather have the powers of a builder than the ability to toss people into orbit or move cargo ships since he'd already dealt with the cargo ship in the bay. "I wish for the powers of the best Builder you can safely provide without losing any...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 18

Taylor glanced over at where Tony, Gor-Don, Barbara and Kara were discussing modifications to Kara's forcefield belt then focused on Myst. "Do you have an actual plan for dealing with the rest of the gangs?"

Myst glanced between Amy and Taylor then looked over at where Vicky was talking to Cloud and Tifa about combat. "In the world? Nope. In the city? Yeah, I've got a couple of ideas."

"Care to share?" Amy asked, hoping they were more useful than the typical keep a lid on things t...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 17

Alec reached out and touched one of the ornate bracelets on the desk, using the power Cloud was giving everyone to pick up the ability to nullify fire, ice, holy and gravity damage. "Do you have anything that nullifies physical damage?"

Cloud pointed to a bracelet made out of three rings of different types of metal that were fused together. "Best we have is the Ziedrich, it cuts physical damage in half along with most elements."

"It's useful for dealing with Shinra's goons," Yuffi...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 16

"Got it!" Cloud called out as he slipped past Taylor and Amy on his way to fighting the boss that was trying to nail Kara with lightning while she finished off the rest of the magic users.

Taylor missed her shot with her eldritch blast when a translucent window appeared in front of her, informing her that she'd just unlocked a copy of Cloud's new ability. "Nice."

Kara twisted to avoid a blast of fire and swept her heat vision over the group of magic users, causing them to turn int...

"Is that what would have happened if I hadn't tripped on the coins Abu dropped?" Aladdin asked thoughtfully as the credits started playing.

"Nothing is set in stone," Myst warned him. "You might have pulled everything off without Jafar becoming an all powerful genie or maybe you'd have slipped off the roof or tripped over a bit of junk that someone left in the street and been stabbed by the guards."

"Do you have any advice for dealing with Jafar and his guards?" Aladdin asked.

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 14

Tony smirked as he connected the last connector and flipped the switch on the alien device, causing the triplicator to duplicate the dagger they were using to test things without converting the original to energy as that was more power intensive than just making the copies. "We can worry about automating the combination process later."

Myst glanced between the shiny dagger on the left platform and the rusted piece of shit on the right platform that looked to have been left in a swamp fo...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 13

Myst pulled his attention away from the field of stars and looked at Taylor as she walked over wearing a black duster over her costume and holding a rune covered staff. "Let me guess, it had decent armor?"

"Decent armor, magic resistance and it keeps Alec from staring at my ass," Taylor replied as she finished walking over to where Myst was sitting.

"He's a teenager," Myst laughed.

"Are you saying he'll grow out of it?" Taylor asked.

"Nope," Myst replied, not seeing a ...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 12

"Glad you could make it," Myst offered as Noelle walked into the warehouse with Lisa and a dark haired teen that could be a model. 'At least the fairy dust fixed her appearance.'

Alec stared at the piles of silver coins and antique weapons. "Did you rob a museum?"

"I'm pretty sure that would have made the news," Myst pointed out. "No Bitch or Grue?"

"They're outside with her dogs," Lisa replied as she glanced between the unfamiliar people, wondering how they fit into things ...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 11

Noelle wasn't sure how long she'd spent in the shower getting clean but she was fairly sure the only reason she didn't look like a raisin was because of her brute rating. She wiped the fog off the mirror and stared at her reflection, trying to remember the last time she looked healthy and not like someone in need of a decent cheeseburger or a monster. 'No voices in my head or hunger, were you ever there?'

[Yes], Copycat replied softly, not sure she was actually supposed to talk to her h...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 10

"Resizing equipment for the win," Myst said cheerfully as he tossed yet another magical staff from the pile of loot in the middle of the warehouse into his spatial ring, finding the ring ridiculously easy to use. 'And it comes with an inventory-like interface.'

"It should make it easier to loot everything to the ground," Vicky agreed as she poured the silver coins she'd scooped up with an old dustpan into one of the six expanded chests they'd bought from the merchant. "It's weird having...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 9

Amy glanced away from where her sister and Taylor were using cantrips to try to kill a floating zombie in an attempt to get their cantrips ability to change into something more useful and focused on Myst. "Do you have an actual plan for dealing with the rest of the gangs?"

"That depends," Myst replied as he focused on the new ability he'd picked up from his warlock pact, fading out of view. "Can you see me?"

Amy stared at the area where the fifteen foot tall giant should be. "How ...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 8

Myst tossed himself out of the way of the ball of plasma that seemed to warp the space around it, wanting to avoid getting hit by something that could vaporize the platforms. He used his telekinesis to yank himself clear of the blast that turned the platform into a burning wreck. He tossed one of the demons he'd already robbed into the path of the next plasma ball, taking out the witch that looked like a deranged bag lady and the hulking purple demon that reminded him of the Hulk when the spe...

edits for endbringer story

Editor said I was skipping scenes, so I tossed in another scene to the last chapter as an edit, it's the first scene so it should be easy to read. 

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 7

Myst scowled slightly as he watched Vicky dodge one of the animated stump's sonic attacks then fly under the platform, spin around and charge it from behind, cleaving it in half with her new sword and sending the pieces flying off the platform into the abyss. "I could have just tossed it off the edge."

"But then she wouldn't get experience," Amy replied as she worked on comparing the biology of the two humanoid constructs that Myst was holding over the expensive looking pool with his te...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 6

Amy frowned as she looked around the dust and cobweb covered warehouse. "We're probably going to need hazmat suits. What were they storing?"

Myst glanced away from the shelf filled with rusted pieces of metal that he didn't recognize and the wet spot on the concrete floor which meant he was going to have to fix the roof. "Boat parts and that's why you're wearing a dust mask."

"Just think of it like an adventure," Vicky said as she floated around the warehouse looking at the variou...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 5

"Annette Rose Hebert, 1969-2008, she taught something precious to each of us," Myst whispered as he read the gavestone. "What's the point of having the power to change the world if you're not going to use it?" he mused as he reached out with telekinesis and pulled her coffin out of the ground, filling in the dirt under it so he didn't leave a mess. He reached out with his summoning power and summoned something that could help, calling forth a nine foot tall silver skinned humanoid figure with...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 4

Drax froze when he looked away from the strange horseless carriages and noticed the shop filled with books that they were walking past. "Books…" he trailed off with a longing look.

"It's a bookstore, we have a couple in town," Victoria replied, pulling her attention off the people that were taking pictures of them from across the street.

"I'm surprised someone hasn't robbed it yet," Drax admitted, thinking of some of the damage to the other buildings they'd walked past. "Wards?"...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 3

Contessa didn't even bother to look up from the massive stack of reports she was reading when Eidolon turned to look at her and opened his mouth. "I don't know, he's a blindspot."

Eidolon scowled as he looked across the table at Kurt, a touch annoyed that Contessa could predict his question even though she couldn't path him directly. "Is there a chance that he's Scion's new form?"

Kurt took a drink of his whiskey as he considered the question for a couple of seconds then shook his...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 2

Taylor froze when she accidentally touched Panacea's hand when she reached for her sundae and a translucent character creation page appeared in front of her. "What the hell?" she sputtered as she stared at the display, trying to make sense of what she was seeing.

Vicky glanced at the door then focused on Taylor. "What's up?"

Taylor glanced at the female clerk who was standing behind the counter listening to music while cleaning the back counter. "I think someone is messing with me...

Endbringers Hate Paperwork Part 1 (edited)

An: This is the edited version of Monday's chapter, basically tweaked things with the Mayor's bit to make things work a bit better as he's a politician in the Bay, he's used to rolling with things so I fixed it.


Myst blinked as he went from filling out a CYOA to standing in front of a school that had obviously seen better days. "What the hell?!" he sputtered when he realized the van he was standing next to only came up to his waist.

[Primary Objective: Provide a wort...
