The rest of the day passed quickly, and at the end of the night I gave my last wish to one of the Beast Lord Initiates. I got three points of Might, bringing me to an even one hundred sixty. With that out of the way we set out to meet with the others to attend the auction. Lament was coming, along with her partner Falken, Sydney and Megan were bringing Riley and the rest of their people, and we had the four with us, along with Abel, Mel, Sloane, Beric, Croll, and the w...

Naturally, the second district didn't have any clues. We searched the whole place and found nothing specific. It was clear that the Devastator wasn't here in the first place, since there were people all over. To my surprise though, as we followed the path around behind the block to the third district, literally no one was there. It was like some sort of field was driving them all away, but what...

With one wish remaining for the day, I was still feeling pretty secure as we headed back down to Doomtown. "So." Said Benny as we walked. "Tell me about this place? What did you all do for the last week? I hope this wasn't some excuse for a second vacation, because if I was training my ass off while you were lounging on a beach somewhere I'm going to be pretty pissed."
I cracked up at the beach remark, because we'd gone to the beach twice, and could h...

On a scale of one to ten, I'd give the ghost rising up through the table a six on my 'what the fuck' meter. Which, honestly, isn't that bad. I've been to magic kingdoms and have a fairy living in part of my soul. I've seen some shit. Still, the effects and everything, while not bad, weren't enough to really impress me. The actual ghost itself was admittedly a bit mor...

We didn't hear back from Alexander until the next day. Since we had one more after this before the auction I let the Beast Lord Initiates do another full five wishes to preload some more days for later. I'd have to work out some kind of arrangement for after I left. I managed to get the points in Might this time, which was nice, and put me at nine hundred nineteen points total.
When they F-rankers arrived in the morning I left the five wishes for that...

In the end, I decided the best way to find clues about the Devastator and Luxord was to explore the town. Since that was probably going to take a while, I decided to bring Rana along. I figured we hadn't spent much time together since this trip started, and I wanted to see how she'd been doing. She was naturally thrilled to spend time with her old man, so after telling Zee and Drea where we wer...

Being back in the Pavilion was like walking out of the heat into a cool familiar house. I hadn't even noticed the shift in tension in Doomtown. Even when I was enjoying myself, I'd had to be actively on the lookout for traps or murder attempts. Up here in G-district where we could relax I was finally able to let down my guard.
The first thing I did when I got back was go see my best friend. Callie came along, and to my shock, Benny was actually at the...

I'd been expecting someone...scarier. My dad made Checkmate sound like this terrifying organization that had the world in the palm of their hand, and a monster killing expert from there should be some implacable beast of a man. Which is why I found the actual agent underwhelming. Just a tanned, good looking guy with long dark hair and a five o'clock shadow. He looked...

"This is boring." I said, barely bothering to keep my voice down. I was back in my hockey mask and coat, sitting up on top of a warehouse with Felicia and Peter, who was wearing some kind of blue and red outfit that made him look like a colorblind trapeze artist with a gimp fetish. Felicia had giggled at him for a solid five minutes after he introduced himself as 'Spider-Man'.

When I got back to the old house, I pulled my girls and the others aside for a chat, filling them in on what happened. "Time manipulation is a pain. I have other moves to use obviously, but it seemed stupid to bust out my trump cards so early." None of the Organization had seen me use my Domain. Hell, I wasn't sure Neron knew how it worked, I'd only used it for a second during that fight, and i...

I've never been one to worry or fret about things. I'm not entirely certain I actually feel fear the way other people do, or at least I've never experienced anything like what I've heard described as terror. I've been nervous, been worried, I've known something could hurt me, but I've never had my logical thought processes compromised by any of those feelings. I supp...

As expected, I didn't win, but I did beat Mordaunt. Her glare when it happened was incredibly brief, so quick I almost missed it, but she was definitely pissed. By the time she met up with us though she was all smiles. "Wow, that was an interesting race. Wasn't it Rahm?"
Rahm, who as far as I'd heard, didn't ever really speak, just grunted. I didn't the big zombie was stupid, he, moved like someone with a brain, careful and deliberate. Even so, he was...

Whatever the fuck the Devastator was, I knew I absolutely did not want any part of fucking with it. Scale of one to ten, my desire to avoid that thing was a fifteen, and messing with it would be the stupidest possible choice that I could make in this situation. Which was why I immediately went out searching for it in the Second District as soon as I learned where it had been last spotted.

The bond didn't take long to adjust to. By the time the starting horn sounded, just like Abel had said, I was already pretty used to it. Thus, I immediately leaned on it to push the Ralkor into a full on sprint the second we were told to go. Though I couldn't use any active Skills, my passive connection to Callie through Paired Dueling was still there, and I had enough of a sense of her to match our speeds as we took off down the track, bringing my Ralkor c...

Still, I was at least cognizant of the fact that there was a lot to get done.

Sadly, being that he was a sadist who lived to torment us, Abel refused to say another word about the Shatter Lanes until the next morning when we were just about to leave. He did invite the others, but Sloane and the others had gotten an offer from some of the low F-rankers in the Beast Lord Garden to spend the day with them. Apparently they were planning to take their seniors down to Riot Bay to do some fishing, hoping to make some more money.

The room full of frozen infected was...quiet. Which seemed obvious even as I thought it. These people were frozen in time, but it was still weird and unnatural to be in a room full of bodies that weren't dead and made no sound at all. Zee made an uncomfortable sound to my side. "This is creepy." She said quietly, her voice muted as if she were in a library. "Can you do anything for them Morgan?...

It didn't take too long to get back up to where the others waited. I noticed Master Saiten had stuck around up at the shore rather than come down. Knowing what E-rankers could do I wasn't sure that actually mattered, but I made a note anyway. Once we got back to shoreline we all split off to head back to our relative hotels. That gave me a chance to get the wishes for the Beast Lord Garden out of the way, giving them all five wishes again, and putting anoth...

Lament was not pleased at that big flashy death of the giant spider. "I HAD it." She groused. "I was having fun, and then you had to go be a big showoff." Which to be fair, might have been true, even if that wasn't really the point. While Lament COULD have probably killed the spider, it would have taken much longer and the rest of us would have been in way more danger.
Wren, who obviously understood that, cleared his throat. "Yeah...I'm with them. We ...

On the list of things you never want to see associated with an enemy, a five sided shield is basically at the top. Anything Superman related is pretty much guaranteed to fuck you up, and mixing in Barbatos's bat shit was almost definitely going to make it worse. I had to hold back a sigh of annoyance at this news. Of course we weren't done with Batman nonsense. Because Barbatos was the bat god, and h...

This cavern inside the door...didn't make much sense.

I was shocked that the spider seemed to be handling all three of our best fighters, even with the rest of our group as support.. Megan and Sydney were off to one side, eyes glowing as they doubled up on their ability. Sydney was using hers on the spider obviously and combined with Megan's good luck aura on Lament, combined with the Master Candidate's technique and Skill, meant she was able to counter the limbs of the spider as it tried to skewer the others....

I'd emptied my balls down her throat at least nine or ten times, and I could have kept going, but we...

As it turned out, most of the suggestions for a plan amounted to 'group up, and hit it til' it dies'. Callie, even nearly apoplectic with treasure madness, did not approve of anything that sloppy, and visibly forced herself to snap out of her trance to come up with something better.

Of course, the two of them didn't come down the waterfall, as we watched, the two of them slowly descend from the sky, held aloft by Mel's flames as they blazed up from underneath them like some kind of rocket booster.
