JTTM: Beyond Beyond The Impossible (RPG)

[megamagikarp]

"Yeah, it looked a lot like that. I knocked it off of a shelf and it hit me in the head."

"...Wait, what's this 'philosopher's stone'"?

[stratofarius]

Roy was about to reply to Falkon when he turned off the GPS, looking at himself through the screen. He raised an eyebrow, analyzing his chin and hair. "You're... somewhat right, Falkon. It seems that my influence over Michael's body has changed a few of his physical characteristics... like what happened with Jenny and Fate." He messed a bit with his hair, and analysed his hand. "Unfortunately, the shard can't make me grow muscles... which means over fifteen years of constant training of my body just went down the drain. Great. Although I do look like a younger me." he said, turning back to Falkon. "I guess I'll have to count on them, well, believing my story. And the whole problem with looking younger- well, that's nothing time can fix--"

He stopped talking as soon as his GPS received the call. "Falkon, Ty Lee, Flanker, you three, find a way to get underground. If Daishuryou is trying to complete Father's plan, then he must be using his old base of operations, which was right underneath Central HQ. Unfortunately, I can't use my credentials to get you inside- since everyone believes I'm dead- and they won't allow unauthorized people in."

"Aye aye!" Ty Lee said, giving Roy a somewhat silly salute. "I've always wanted to do that. Come on, guys! We can use the sewers- there's always a way to get in the sewers."

"And you're staying with me, fish boy." Roy said to Griga, answering Oleg's call.

-----------------------------------------------------

Alphonse took a good look at the shard on Oleg's hand, and then at Edward. Leaning forward, he whispered to both him and Hawkeye. "Should we trust them?... they seem to know a lot about us and the Colonel... and the Promised Day will happen soon--"

His whisper was interrupted by the sound of Roy's voice coming out of Oleg's GPS. "Oleg?" he said, "What's the matter? Have you found the Elrics yet?" The surprise was almost palpable: Havoc and Falman stared at the GPS with a look that said did that just happen, while Fuery slowly removed his headphones, leaning in closer. Alphonse walked towards Oleg, almost as if he wanted to talk with Mustang, but Hawkeye was quicker- within seconds, she was already crouched down in front of the GPS.

"Oleg? Oleg, are you there? Say something--"

"Colonel." Hawkeye said, glaring at the GPS.

Roy didn't answer for a few seconds. "... Lieutenant?" he said, somewhat relieved.

"Go to Belmarck Road. Back door of the Sunflower Tavern. Knock on it, say you're the wolf."

"Lieutenant, I--"

"You can give us the answers you owe us once you get here, Colonel." Hawkeye replied.

"Very well... let me say, Lieutenant, it's great to hear from you again."

Hawkeye didn't answer, standing up again. She glanced at Oleg, almost as if telling him to say something to Roy. She turned to Fuery, and walked over to the radio table. "Contact Breda. Tell him Mustang's back. Tell Olivier to stay alert." Fuery nodded and got to work.

----------------------------------------

Toph visibly blushed once Fusion mentioned her and Sokka, but she quickly followed it up with a punch to Fusion's shoulder and a grin. "What? Me and Snoozles? That's just weird. Me and Twinkletoes wouldn't work, especially because he's too much of a softie."

Alicia picked up her GPS, sending August a message. "Son, we met up with Batman, and now he asked us to follow his Bat-wing. Go with Mary to the Tel'tak and follow it. We'll be following him in the train. We'll meet up... wherever we're going, alright? - Alicia"

-----------------------------------------

However, as soon as Alicia sent her message, both August and Mary felt like someone was watching them. If they looked up at one of the rooftops, they would see Masjora, wearing a set of clothes similar to the ones Kios wore, watching the entire situation. As the police cars drove away with Two-Face, Masjora quickly followed them, leaping from rooftop to rooftop.

[Falkon]

Mary, noticing Masjora, stood up. "Kid, you figure out how to make this thing cause explosions, 'kay? I'm gonna go snap Tattoo's ugly neck."

With that said, she walked out of the Tel'tak, and launched herself into the air with a stream of blue fire, following Masjora.

---

"Hope the armor keeps out the smell..." Falkon sighed.

---

"You're wasting your time." Griga said, "Even if you can squeeze information out of some idiotic humans, Daishuryu is far more powerful than you're 'Brotherhood'. You should give up while you still can."

[dblade26]

August frowned at the brief glimpse of Masjora and only grimaced further as Mary told him to stay behind with the ship before taking off.

"No way I'm missing this! I deserve to punch stupid Masky Pineapple-Monster-Man as much as anyone!"

Quickly wrapping extra metal from the Tel'tak around his feet, August began to shape and mold it into something part of him seemed to half-remember from a long time ago. When he finished he grinned triumphantly and shouted:

"ACHILLES MANIFESTATION!: CHAINSAW-ROLLER-SKATES!- wait, I mean um ROLLER-BLADE!"

With that the young boy took off, racing after Mary and Masjora, the chainsaw blade wheels occasionally leaving a trail of gashes and sparks across Gotham's rooftops.

[stratofarius]

Roy looked down at Griga, and then back at Falkon and Ty Lee. "Wait." he said, raising his hand, and giving Ty Lee the keys to Griga's shackles. "Take him with you. You can use him as a hostage- that way, you won't get attacked if you get found. Also... I can't really walk through the city with a Zora by my side. It'll raise too many questions."

"... right, right, we'll do a good job!" Ty Lee said, giving Roy a smile. Roy nodded, and left the alleyway, concealing his face with a hoodie he had borrowed from the Ha'tak. Ty Lee handed Falkon the key, frowning. "I hope we don't have to do this." she whispered, and walked over to Griga, getting him back on his feet. "Can you find a sewer entrance?"

--------------------------------------------

Masjora noticed both Mary and August following him, and quickly changed to a more agile body: the one that once belonged to Envy. There was something weird about him, as there were no sparks as he changed apperance- instead, it was a more clay-like effect, like he was a clay dummy that could easily change his appearance. "Envy" glanced at the two of them, grinning, and once he landed on another rooftop, his hand grew and grew until it turned into a giant clay hammer. Waiting for the right moment, he swung his hand, trying to hit both August and Mary while they were in mid-air.

[Psyga315]

Sept 20, 2012 12:12:31 GMT -5 Falkon said:

"Yo, Robotic Voice!" Mary said, sitting down on the ship she had been standing in throughout the battle, "What kinda weapons does this ship have?"

"Several weapons. I have staff cannons and a seemingly unlimited amount of Naquadah bombs." N.A.V.I. said

{OOC: Sorry for skipping out on that. >_<}

[fusionman]

Fusion grins back at Toph. "Sadly we saw EVERYTHING. That includes you kissing Suki because you thought she was Sokka. Sadly a lot of us actually found that adorable. "

He pauses. "Not me of course! You are the opposite of adorable! You're tough and awesome and adorable is your enemy!"

He fakes a chuckle. "Anyways, you want to know anything more or should we go to wherever we should go?"

[Flanker]

"Understood," said Flanker. His mind was already scrambling for solutions to any problems they might encounter. Scrunching his nose up at Ty Lee's suggestion for a second, he said, "Ew. But if that's what it takes..."

The Mega Man wasn't fond of getting dirty in the slightest (which brought up the question of how the hell he had managed to get this far), but knowing the way this sort of thing worked it'd turn out to be their best chance or something similar.

[stratofarius]

"Well, yes." Toph said, her grin disappearing. She punched Fusion in the shoulder, and smirked. "Learn where to stop talking, Fan!"

[fusionman]

Fusion nods. "Yeah yeah yeah I'll learn to shut up. I'll learn it for next time."

He coughs. "Speaking of next time we should probably start to go adventuring. Sounds fun I must admit."

[Mahou Moerin]

Moerin - SPACE BATTLESHIP IWASHI, Sleeping Quarters

Moerin giggled and giggled, and only realised the fatal error in not even trying to dodge when it was far too late.

...Wait, doesn't she have Berserker's powers? Then that means-"OWIES!" The pillow rebounded off her face and hit Jenny too, who had for whatever reason decided to make a grab for the remote. After taking a moment to scramble back on the bed and check to see if little sis was okay (judging by her attempts at retaliation, she most likely was), the catgirl pointed an accusing finger at Rain, mock-scowling at the grumpy girl.

"Noble Phantasm pillows are a bit cheap, don't you think?" she yelled, seemingly more intrigued by the prospect of a pillow fight than rewatching a movie she could probably receit from memory. Such a shame that Jenny had already grabbed her pillows... "Hah! Think fast, Grey!" Leaping across to another bed, her arms wildly grasped out at Grey, trying to use the other girl a a substitute pillow in this fight.

(OOC: The pillow that hit Jenny is the same one that hit her in Jenny's previous post. Just trying to fix something here. >.<)

Jolokia - SPACE BATTLESHIP IWASHI, Prinny Processing Plant

"Foolish fool who speaks most foolishly!" Neo Metal Mecha Moloch screamed, pointing a steel flipper at Desco. "Your foolishly foolish rules mean nothing to the almighty might of Neo Metal Mecha Moloch, who is-"

"-Almighty!" Jolokia squealed in unison with the robot penguin. She didn't seem at all bothered that Tachi had hid behind her; after all, she had been a knight in her previous life, and it was a knight's duty to protect fair maidens from vicious beasts like this.

"...Y-yes, almighty." Two unblinking red eyes turned to the kensei, not entirely sure what to make of her childish outburst. "Soon every multiverse, netherworld, otherworld, multiworld and negaverse shall kneel, kneel before the unstoppable Neo Metal Mecha Moloch, who cannot be sto-"

"Why are you a penguin?" Once again, Moloch's monologue was cut off by the green haired swordswoman. And for one moment, one brief moment, she did something no-one else seemed to be able to do.

She rendered Moloch speechless.

---

Anise - SPACE BATTLESHIP IWASHI, Library

"Hmph, I don't know whether to thank you for allowing me another chance," Anise muttered, leafing through the final pages of the Ultima Tome. "Or to drop several thousand tons of space rock on you for guiding my soul to Master Meowrin. But I suppose being returned to this immortal coil is worth any amount of torment. You have my thanks, Sir Death Emizel, grudging though they may be." She made especial care to put as much emphasis on the "Sir" to make it clear that she was still considering going ahead with the space rock option anyway.

Nevertheless, she raised her palm, offering a handshake. It seemed like the blond psychopomp was her best source of reasonably intelligent conversation here, which was something she didn't want to lose.

[Tachi]

He wasn't ending his sentences with "dood"? How was that the eldritch loli's main concern here? Did she miss Moloch's declaration of his intent for world domination?! Taking another step back, Tachi just continued watching.

The robotic prinny's further ramblings, this time about multiversal domination seemed a little...well, a little ambitious for an exploding mechanical penguin, but still nothing he was too keen on objecting to. Jolokia's question about the machine's penguinness earned a facepalm from the boy.

[serendipital]

Ed grinned broadly but quickly covered it with his hand, coughing. "It's about time that bastard got here," he said dismissively. He didn't let his hopes up too far, but they were definitely up in the air.

[Rain]

Without even looking, one of Rain's arms lashed out, grasped the pillow thrown by Jenny, and launched it straight back at her. Once again, it gave the impression of a bizarrely harmless missile, rocketing towards her face. It probably wasn't the best idea to engage someone containing the greatest warrior to have ever lived in combat... even if that combat was with pillows and she was doing her best to watch the rambling about swallows.

April sighed in annoyance and removed herself from Meowrin's cleavage, sitting carefully on the end of the bed and tuning out the ridiculousness happening behind her. She wanted to watch the film, not see a bunch of pillows hit people in the face.

[EldritchMermaid]

The pillow caught Jenny square in the face, knocking her right off the bed. She hit the floor with a bump, before springing straight back up like nothing had happened. A little too quickly for a human.

[Deleted]

Iwashi

Anno edged away, taking the blanket with her. She very much did not want to get hit with pillows, and did really want to watch the movie... She edged towards April, settling beside the tiny girl, to watch. And hope know pillows came careening her way.

[Vinestar]

Grey

As Moe grabbed at her, Grey thought she was safe. That was a false hope though, for the nekomata instead simply used her as return fire. "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?" The change in perspective from human to ammunition was very harrowing, and the mage couldn't help but feel a wave of self pity crash down on her. "When did things turn out like this?"

Desco

"He's a Prinny because he sinned too much, Little Big Sis." Desco chirped as she floated on over to the mecha penguin. "Now, Moloch. Desco wants you to say 'dood', or else something very bad will happen." The tone of voice was pretty much what would be the equivalent of a human child trying to be stern with her household pet. Valvatorez must not find out or else shenanigans would happen.

Emizel

"I'd rather not have you drop space rocks on the ship that's transporting us across dimensions." Emizel stated curtly, before clasping the outstretched limb with his own small hand. "That'd be very counterproductive."

"In any case, it's not often that a mage can make it to main character status." Looking up her stat screen, Emizel quirked an eyebrow. "Well, at least there's another straight man in the place. Just two isn't enough." The shota stated somewhat wanly.

[Laserface]

Joe commented, "You're making me look tactful by comparison Fusion. That's bad. As for adventuring, we're in time train following the Bat Jet. Pretty sure that qualifies."

[troydenite]

April 13th, 2012.

Howick, Auckland City, New Zealand. A certain house. Arm resting firmly on the computer table, Joyce Lin looked over at the face of her best friend, seeming rather confused.

“…Troy…dare…knit?” she read out loud. “What the heck does that mean? And what’s TV Tropes?”

The twelve-year-old turned, still typing away on his laptop keyboard. “It’s Troy – The – Knight,” he enunciated. “troydenite. It’s my online username for this site. Seems pretty cool… although I’ve been mostly holding off on editing, only lurking for now. Man, does this thing have a lot of pop culture. I feel nerdier already.”

The girl put her hands on her hips, unsatisfied with the mere correction. “No, you haven’t answered my question. What does it mean?”

Troy paused – then he stopped typing, and turned around in his chair to face the living room wall. “It’s… kind of complicated, really.” He seemed rather sheepish all of a sudden.

Joyce nodded. “Uh-huh.”

Seeing it as a sign that she wasn’t going to give up, the boy sighed, before continuing on. “I guess it’s kind of like being a hero. You know, like the Sentai Warriors are, or like the Riders are… or even the DC and Marvel heroes. They’re like the Knights of the Round Table, upholding justice wherever they go, that kind of stuff…”

A thoughtful pause. “It seems silly, but I guess I want to be someone like that one day. A knight. Upholding justice.”

Blinking twice, Joyce looked at him for several moments, seemingly processing his words – then she burst out laughing and slapped him on the back, hard enough to elicit a wince. “You’re really funny sometimes, you know that, Troy?”

He flushed in spite of himself. “It’s not funny,” he mumbled, sinking down into his chair to hide his embarrassment.

The girl grinned. “But still,” she continued, “I guess you have a right to be as weird as you want. Maybe you will be like that someday. It’s a strange world, after all.”

Troy looked up – then he smiled, looking rather relieved. Spinning back around, he reengaged the keyboard. “…Yeah,” he said. “I guess it is.”

Strange world, huh?

---

Gaoh-Liner


The sound of voices woke him. Snapping out of the depths of his memory, Knight looked around with a start – then he seemed to sink back into himself, resuming the same air of bored observation he had used before. But his eyes seemed to be more downcast than usual, even as they gazed in silence on the animated conversants.

Fusion, huh…

[dblade26]

For some reason August wasn't able to sense the attack in time, unlike against many other opponents. Worse yet whenever he was up in the air like he was now, without any objects to grip onto or push off of, the Roller-Blade was unable to manuver him out of the way safely. By the time he saw the massive clay hammer, he was already too late to evade it.

"Oh no...no-no-no-no-no-no NO! AGH!!"

He was able to avoid a direct hit by yanking the metal skates and himself out of the way a little, but the hammer still caught him pretty hard and sent him slamming into a rooftop. He struggled out of the child-shaped crater, bleeding and panting but using Achilles to keep going and ignore his injuries.

"O-oww....he's...really tricky...n' strong..."

But something about him wasn't quite right...

[Falkon]

Mary was more successful in dodging, and a few bursts of blue fire in front of her allowed her to dodge, and land safely on the ground.

Seeing August crash, she turned to "Masjora", and, swinging her arms in an arc, sent two lightning lightning bolts at the shapeshifter, followed by a series of blue fireballs.

---

"Do what?" Falkon whispered back.

[stratofarius]

"We need to get moving, John." Alicia said, placing a hand on John's shoulder- not after giving Knight a very wary glance. "Batman's waiting us, and I've already sent a message to Mary. She's going to take August to the Bat-Cave- I mean, we both know he'll probably get there first, considering how excited he was to see him."

"We're going to do that, once Mr. Stabby starts this thing." Toph said, pointing at John with her thumb. "But if you ask me, I'm more interested in Mr. Brooding over there." She said, her smirk disappearing for a moment as she started talking about Knight.

--------------------------------

"Hah!" yelled "Envy", a smirk on his face. Funny, his voice sounded deeper... and he had a weird accent. "When that man told me to use this, I didn't know it was going to work so well!"

He laughed, and raised his hand to once again attack August, but his attack was interrupted as he was electrocuted by Mary's lightning bolts. The bolts managed to stun him, and the blue fireballs sent him to the ground. When he stood up, half of his entire body looked like it was melting. He grinned, and raised his arms, transforming both of them into two gigantic spiky hammers. He ran forward, attempting to smash Mary with both of them.

-------------------------------------

"You know," Ty Lee replied as she gently pushed Griga through the alley. "Use him as a defense if we're attacked in the sewers. If we get to the sewers, anyway, we need to find them first."

"Oh, I can help you guys with that!" said a voice coming from above. The group barely had a moment to look up as a figure dropped right in front of them. He wasn't very tall, and he had certain features that made him stand out from the crowd. He wore a yellow coat, white pants and black shoes, but probably the most interesting thing about his outfit was the small bone on his mouth that he appeared to be chewing. He raised his hand and grinned. "Hello."

"Who are you?" she asked. Furrowing her brow, she stepped in front of Falkon and got into a fighting stance. "If you're trying to stop us, I should warn you--"

"Hey, hey! You don't need to worry." He replied, raising his hands in a defensive manner. "Besides, I think they're going to attack you if you take one step forward." He said, pointing to something or someone behind him (even if the group couldn't see anyone nearby). "My name is Ling. Ling Y--"

"What do you want?"

"Nice to meet you too." Ling replied, and then he lazily pointed at Falkon. "I want to know what does a nice lady, a weird man, and an even weirder man in a pink costume want to do in the sewers."

------------------------------

"I don't get it. How can he be back?" Havoc said, scratching his head. He looked at the weird glares that he got from his teammates. "It's not that I don't like it!... It's just... we all saw the news! An explosion, and he was gone! There was even a body!"

"Evidently, it wasn't him. Considering our line of work, sometimes a body isn't enough to prove someone's dead." Hawkeye replied and Havoc nodded. "Of course, if our new friend could provide us with the answers we need."

Mustang's crew eyes went from Murray to Oleg. Alphonse stepped forward. "Yes! How is the Colonel back?" he said, asking the question that was on everyone's mind. While Havoc was still trying to figure out the answer, Hawkeye was taking care of her gun (almost as if preparing for something), Fuery was sending a message to someone while Falman was looking over a few reports.

"Even Olivier believed he was gone." Falman commented, looking at an old newspaper. "Of course, no one payed much attention. He disappeared at the same time as the Fuhrer and our targets," he pointed at the pictures of the homunculi with his thumb, "disappeared."

Breda was the only one not working. In fact, he was the only one still looking at Murray. He fiddled with a pen on one hand, but his eyes were still locked onto the robot, almost as if he thought looking at it would answer all his questions.

[fusionman]

Fusion shrugs. "I'd like my time train to fly. I'd basically like Astrotrain from Transformers...but it can also travel in time. Then again not ever going to get that."

Fusion sighs. "Never expected this to happen to me. I mean...I'm not going to be any help...not with how stupid and weird and creepy I am...How could I save anyone?"

[Laserface]

"By levitating guns out of peoples hands with your mind, by deflecting bullets, by not trying to outdo Knight on the Emo scale because seriously, you are not going to outdo Knight's brooding issues even if you start cutting yourself with your lightsabre."

Joe shrugs, "Complaints are fine, I'm not exactly a ball of sunshine. But you can complain and get things done at the same time. Or you can do nothing at all, and act like not getting anything done because you just chose to stand there silently is, airquotes, proof you can't help anybody without even trying."

[fusionman]

Fusion listens to Joe but at the same time seems to hear only what he wants to. "Don't worry. I'm going to try...it's just that if life keeps going how it normally is you guys are suddenly going to hate me for the actions I take or find me a creepy and weird person and...nevermind."

He smiles. "Don't worry though. I'm fighting to take them down. Even if I die trying. Though I'm not sure if I can levitate guns. I'll test that one later."

He thinks. "Ah yes is there anywhere I can train on this...train or would my lightsabre and Force powers start breaking shit?"

[Addy]

Oleg sighed.
"Fine. I suppose we now have some time for explanations."

He begun slowly pacing around the room.
"I was not there when it happened and it is the point where the path diverges from what I have seen. So I do not know what exactly happened... But currently the simplest explanation on Colonel's situation would be say that he is similar to Alphonse Elric," he turned to the living suit of armour and looked him in the eyes. "Roy Mustang's soul is bound to one Michael Lichand, member of Brotherhood or Imperium as we were called in our last visit."
Oleg begun pacing again.
"He spent some time lending Michael his powers of alchemy while remaining in the backseat of his mind, so to speak, but after some events Michael has surrendered full control to him."

He stopped and looked over the company.
"You all can get the implications. To truly have Colonel back, he will need a new body."
He sighed.
"Given enough time to gather resources, I may be able to get him one. However, I am not sure if I would be able to work the same for you, Al - and that's why I was hesitant to tell you."

[Laserface]

"Oh, why didn't you say so Fusion. Or did you want to keep the fact you were a necrophiliac pedophile as a surprise for later? Do you wait a year after the seventeen year olds are buried so it's only the first one? Or are you in fact, not on the creepy and weird scale worthy of instant hatred?"

Away from the nonsensical and on to slightly more practical, Joe formed ye old blast shielded helmet and Remote Drone that should be familiar to most extradimensional sorts, tossing the helmet over to Fusion. "I'd say trust your instincts, but those might want you to miss. I'll make fun of you, sure. But I don't want you getting hurt because that's just mean. Jedi seem to love their sarcasm for all the talk about emotional control."

[fusionman]

Fusion laughs at the comment. "Nothing like that don't worry. At least my crushes are around my age and alive. I just become a bit obsessive. But meh we'll see if that applies."

He puts on the blast helmet as he keeps talking. "I'm amazed sarcasm is the word you'd use. When it comes to Jedi and emotional control I'd say hypocrisy. I may like Star Wars but I'll call it out on its bullshit."

Fusion suddenly stops once he's prepared and nothing can be heard from him but breathing. He tilts his head down looking towards the floor Oh Lord, protect me from the people here and may I use my powers in Your name and for Your will.

And what, pray-tell are you doing? Wasting your time and thought process when you should be letting you and the Force become one?

I'm praying Tyranus. Trust me I'll let my medichorlians speak to me or whatever bullshit you want. But I'm not changing my religion. Partially because on Earth we see those who proclaim themselves to be Jedi as over-obssesed fools.

Dooku sighs in Fusion's head only to stay there silently.

Fusion lifts his head back up. "I'm ready."

[Laserface]

"There's some half decent banter for them between the plot holes. Besides, as stupid as they could be? The average Sith makes them look like shining examples of Decency."

That said, the Lantern Drone fired off a few BB Gun strength blasts Fusion's way. It would keep at it every few moments until his fellow Newbie gave up or something more important was at hand.

[troydenite]

Knight turned slowly at the sound of the training blasts, focusing his dull gaze in the general direction of Joe and Fusion. He had noticed Joe's humorous dig - but true to form, he didn't comment on it at all.

Maybe he didn't want to say what he was really thinking. Or perhaps the mere thought of a response hadn't even crossed his mind. It could be anything, for all he was giving off.

Clack. Clack. Clack.

The Gokai Gun clicked softly as he moved it up and down, testing its familiar, worn grip in the palm of his left hand. He continued gazing straight ahead. It was more of a habitual gesture than anything else.
