X-Champions Issues
Issue #42 - Dragons
At the SIhn underground palace, early in
the morning Sihn Mi again visits Laughton and wants to show him that her offer
of power is a serious one. She claims to be able to show him something
he'd want to know, and escorts him to a long hallway with many doors. She
chooses a door and shows him through it - into a room decorated in Florentine styling
and with many Catholic ornaments. He quickly surmises that the room has
all the appearance of being in the Palace of the Holy Office in Vatican
City. Mi leaves the room, closing the door behind her. Shortly
Laughton hears two people about to enter the room; he turns to his monopole form
and listens as two Cardinals enter, speaking in Latin. One is Cardinal
Rossi, already known to Laughton from his investigations (see Desperate End
Run - The Sacrosanct Investigation, Volume I). He says, "Someone is close."
The other is Cardinal De Luca, who
responds, "I know, but is the front not holding?"
Rossi replies, "It is very hard to
say. I feel a dangerous wind. I can't hold an entire house up."
De Luca instructs, "Faith can. Get
with others and find a solution. Rebuild the fourth wall."
They then depart.
Laughton muses in
the darkness. He checks the door he came in, and, as he expects, it only
leads into a closet now. He's stranded, but with food for thought.
Meanwhile, back in China, Spectrum has disturbing dreams of Laughton as the
Pope...
So Laughton does not show for breakfast,
but his sudden disappearances are something the Justice Squad is used to.
As they dine some two stories above where their guest rooms are, Sammy and
Spectrum discuss the fight Sammy had with SIhn Loo. Eliot rationalizes a
bit for his family, offering up that perhaps they have different rules than
Sammy and others from America are used to. Without speaking, Spectrum
pushes her mind link a little to discuss the situation with the old mage kept in
one of the lowest levels and his SOS to her. Eliot is disappointed in the
creepy tone of his birth family, and having survived and learnt from the
Necronomicon he's unwilling to be swayed in their direction, regardless of the
considerable knowledge locked in their arcane libraries and the resources
certainly at their avail.
Sihn Zsi joins them and asks Sammy about
the "match" he heard about between Sammy and Loo. Sammy just
responds that it "didn't last long." The conversation though
quickly turns to the captive figure as Sihn Zsi asks Spectrum if the visit was
to her satisfaction. While it was materially, she asks about the mage and
Zsi is non-committal, simply saying he's an old associate. Eliot asks how
he came to be an associate, and Zsi explains that a very long time ago the
family had heard of this mage in the West, visited him, and he had eagerly
joined them for the studies and benefits they offered. Eliot asks
delicately, working generally well within the bounds of etiquette though it's
unusually indirect for him, if the man is happy. Zsi does not seem to
know, mentioning he hasn't spoken to him for a century; Eliot offers up perhaps
the mage could vacation to Detroit, and asks if he's ever taken a
vacation. The family patriarch stresses that the family has many enemies
who would love to get to the mage. Eliot presses the point, impressing the
old man with his candor, as he talks about staff management and suggests perhaps
Zsi could get more out of his people if he studied modern management
techniques. But stepping back from his presumptive line of thought, Eliot
more succinctly and directly says that if the man wants to go free, he should be
set free. Zsi counters, "Would you turn your child loose on the
streets?" Eliot muses privately that perhaps it's the world that
should be concerned about his offspring, not vice-versa, then aloud says,
"You might want to rephrase that." Zsi smiles but lets the point
stand. Zsi then asks, "Do you feel he wishes his freedom?"
Eliot simply suggests that anyone might want to come and go freely now and then,
and offers that as Zsi has not checked in with him for 100 years, it's certainly
possible.
Zsi is intrigued and entertains the
notion seriously. He is concerned that the man might turn traitor, if he
even wishes to be free. He goes on to point out that this man knows many
family secrets and letting him go free could pose great danger. Eliot is
sympathetic, pointing out he's seen similar situations, thinking of their recent
break-up with Jonas Hell. As capabilities are discussed, Eliot and Suzanne
volunteer that Suzanne could probe the man's mind very deeply and unearth
whether he has any serious resentments or ill intentions. With Eliot's
help and the resources at Zsi's avail, certainly what she sees could be
broadcast and verified. Zsi consents to the arrangement, and all
prepare. Suzanne studies some spells and concentrates, while Eliot also
does some studying, both magically and about the Sihn family. They agree
to perform a ritual mind-reading before lunch, which Zsi arranges to be by a
lake that appears to be outdoors in daylight, even though well below
ground. Hearing about lunch, Sammy asks what will be served, though Zsi
does not know yet. Then Sammy asks if he can cook, but is refused.
With Suzanne and Eliot intently at work,
Sammy grows bored and begins to wander the palace. He turns all his senses
to their max, hearing and seeing minute details as he walks. He, appearing
as his nondescript "regular" human-looking self but with Chinese
features, soon starts following a butler. The butler betrays just a
bit of anxiety as he looks to see Sammy following him, but quickly acclimates
and acts as if nothing is abnormal. The butler is walking with a box on a
pillow, carrying it to someone. As the butler goes down in the
elevator, followed by Sammy, and continue down a hallway, he finally turns to
Sammy and says something in Chinese. Sammy simply mimics it, louder.
They both look puzzled. Finally, the butler points down the hall, wanting
Sammy to go away. Sammy, not understanding and simply eager to be friends,
points down the hall, too. The butler looks down the hall, then suddenly
grabs the door nearby and squeezes in, using his body to block Sammy's view or
entrance and rapidly shutting the door. Undeterred, Sammy knocks on the
door. A gruff voice with a sort of cowboy/Southern accent hollers,
"What do you want??" in English. Sammy hollers back, "Who
are you?" The man then says, "Who are YOU?" They go
back and forth and the man finally bellows, "Get yore ass in here!"
Sammy enters to see a figure in a
dust-faded Confederate outfit, one bug-eye, and a mean stretch of skin joining
the upper and lower lips on the side - Jonas Hex. Hex is reclining with an
obvious leg wound. Sammy swiftly says, "I'm a doctor." He
sets to work as Hex says, "Do whut ya gotta do, doc." Sammy,
moving to a side room to morph into a full doctor ensemble, begins taking off
bandages...and inadvertently messes just where he should not, causing Hex great
pain - in fact it reopens his wound! So great pain, in fact, that Hex
draws his gun and aims it at Sammy's head, both eyes now wide and staring at
Sammy. He demand, "Who are you?" as Sammy moves his head all the
way around trying to avoid Hex' gun. Hex says, "So you ain't
human!" Sammy insists, ""I wouldn't be trying to help you
if I were human, I'd just be a regular person then. Here, let me help
you..." but Hex is ready to shoot and Sammy backs off. Hex tells him
to get out, and Sammy retorts he shouldn't hurt a doctor. Jonah says,
"You ain't no doctor," and Sammy says, before leaving, "You're
not a nice person!"
Sammy then continues down the hall,
going to the next door. He hears a man and woman talking, so he
knocks. The man answers and says, "Ah, Sammy." It is Chian
Fo, head of household services. Sammy offers to help when he hears this,
but the man doesn't want him to. Given Sammy's eagerness, Chian settles by
asking Sammy to stay in his room and "help". The woman inside
bows nervously, not appearing to understand Sammy as he says "hello,"
aside from a most rudimentary notion. Sammy bows back. The woman,
Chian's wife, goes in the other room to get some tea. Sammy surprises them
by going to help her, making them both very stressed. Sammy chatters away
about tea. They sit patiently and the man talks to Sammy, being patient
with the important guest. After tea is finished, Sammy gets up and gives
them both a big hug. He insists they come visit him in Detroit before he
leaves.
Meanwhile as Eliot studies and Suzanne
concentrates, Sihn Loo happens upon them. He does not interrupt Suzanne,
but does barge in on Eliot. He asks if Eliot enjoys contests or sports or
"action". Eliot says he's outgrown that, causing Loo to raise an
eyebrow and ask what he means. Eliot says there are more interesting
things, and that in his line of work action is necessary but it's preferable to
avoid if possible. As Loo is scandalized and says Eliot has no
"balance", Eliot responds that "balance is merely an
illusion." Loo then tries to irk Eliot, saying how he understands
that Eliot is getting older and weaker, and must watch for his bones and
muscles. Eliot points out he does care for his well-being and doesn't have
a compunction to seek extra physical danger, adding "a week without someone
trying to kill me is good; two weeks with just a couple fights and I'm doing
pretty good; so you see, the act of trying to live gives me plenty of
exercise." Then Eliot zings Loo back, saying "some people live
in cloistered surroundings, fortunately I've not been granted that
luxury." Suzanne opens one eye briefly, but gets back to
concentrating. Nexus/Eliot goes on to point out to Loo he's been splashed
(from Aela), splattered, had his eyes pulled out, arms taken off, been burnt,
broken, beaten, crushed, smashed, and shot. "Really, I find it holds
no thrill for me anymore. No matter how tough you are, someone can clean
the floor with you." Sihn Loo defensively and irately declares that
he has not lived a cloistered life and has himself been in many combats.
Just then Sammy enters, and Loo says,
"I must take my leave." Sammy, affable until the bitter end,
enthusiastically yells, "Uncle Loo!" They briefly talk and Loo
says he looks forward to seeing Sammy at lunch. Sammy says a couple words
in Mandarin as Eliot has helped him pick up a little. Coincidentally,
Suzanne has also been learning a little of the language.
As Suzanne practices concentrating, she
hears a sort of distant, little voice in her head. She focuses and finds
that Laughton is concentrating intensely on her, and her familiarity and
concentration is allowing her to at least poke a little through the defenses of
the palace to reach his open (to her) and seeking mind. He explains he's
stuck in Rome, and adds, "I'm in cardinal robes." Spectrum
discusses this with Sihn, as to how to best teleport him from where he is to
here, and Sihn offers up, "I think they have dogs here..." referring
to teleporting just Laughton's brain into a dog. Laughton indicates he's in no
danger and uninterested in residing in a dog. Being busy,
she lets him know she'll get back to him.
And then they go to help the strange
mage in the basement floor. The man is asleep, readied for her.
Sammy smells a rat and a man in the room. Suzanne has a special defense
prepared in case of treachery and boosts her telepathy to reach deep inside the
man's mind. She triggers deep and ancient memories, finding the man to be
hundreds of years old. His name is "Marlen", and she sees a Dark
Ages English castle and a ritual and a battle in his mind. She sees him
remembering when the Chinese, strange foreign people mostly unknown to
Europeans, came to visit him and tempted him with great knowledge and
power. She sees him leave a noble Englishman to go with them,
voluntarily. As she concentrates on his needs and desires, she finds he
does desperately want freedom. He harbors some resentment towards the
Sihns, but it is light, and mainly he regrets just having spent so much time
away from home and the world at large, having more anger with himself than
anyone or anything else. He is eager to explore and doesn't seem
threatening. He has an idea of modern London in his head, though it's
formed from texts and pictures from the last few decades and is a bit
jumbled. Over his mental picture of London words scroll, as if they were
text on movie film. Suzanne relates what she sees honestly. Sihn Loo
is there and listens intently but seems skeptical, whereas Sihn Zsi is open and
interested, though he reveals no emotion.
It's time for lunch at the lake.
Several dozen pheasant are brought specifically for Sammy. A large pig is
roasted for all, as well as one specifically for Sammy. Among the crowd of
a couple dozen attendees are a couple Westerners and an African. Sammy
introduces himself to everyone and practices his rudimentary Mandarin. A
couple people ask him if Nexus (still relatively new to the public) is Nexus or
Rodin (or Rodent); Sammy feigns that he isn't sure. As Sihn Mi asks
if there's anything they'd like to do, Sammy asks where they make fortune
cookies. Eliot says they probably have to go to Hong Kong to get the
Westernized kind Sammy is accustomed to. Spectrum points out there's a
fortune cookie factory right up the road from Sihn-tek and Laughton
Agency.
Just then there is a gentle round of
bell sounds as utensils strike fine china, and Zsi makes an announcement.
He formally welcomes Eliot and his entourage. He points out that Eliot has
presented the family with an opportunity, one they had missed without him, and
Marlen is produced as he is granted his freedom! Sammy gives Eliot a
hug. Spectrum eagerly talks with Marlen (who confirms he is indeed the
basis of Merlin from the Arthurian tales and that he served with Arthur, whose
name was actually Riothamus (GM note - for a speculative but serious historical
summary, see http://www.britannia.com/history/docs/sidonius.html)).
Marlen asks Spectrum about super-people; she relates it's a
"different" life but has a positive effect and is a good thing.
He asks, "People respect you and you have followers?" Sammy
chimes in they do. Marlen wonders at Nexus' flowing cape with its shifting
dimensional views. He's eager to see the world - and more.
Talk turns to departing as the Justice
Squad prepares to take its leaves - they've had enough of this place and prefer
to leave on a high note with Marlen's freedom (and they've committed to see him
to Detroit safely). Eliot points out, in apologetic tones, to his father
that they must leave, as he refers to "how many people out there want to
kill us, we have to get back to that." Zsi insists on a formal
banquet in their honor and it is arranged.
Spectrum contacts Laughton again and he
indicates he's busy on another line of investigation anyway as she relates
events there and that they're leaving soon, all feel there's no reason to get
together in China.
Throughout the afternoon Sammy stays
busy meeting people. He runs into one of the Westerners, a German named
Helmut Beuche, who teaches Sammy chess. Spectrum, having a drink nearby in
the lounge they're in, watches out for Sammy and scans Helmut's mind, finding
him surprisingly resistant. She digs just a bit and finds that he's
associated with Kietersling but seems to have no designs on Sammy aside from
enjoying his company. Eliot gives Sammy a few chess pointers, while
Spectrum communicates to both Beuche's relationship. As the two play,
Helmut explains a bit of the "dark arts" to Sammy, indicating that's
his trade, but mostly spends time talking about his childhood in
Bavaria.
As Sammy begins to play in earnest,
Suzanne spends her time talking with Marlen, inevitably returning to the subject
of the Arthurian legends. Marlen mentions that the Morgan stories aren't
exactly true but they did have a "bad relationship". After a
while she gives him a break and wanders around herself, looking for anything
unusual or any known missing mystic artifacts out of sheer curiosity. She
does come across a chalice that always refills itself, one she recognizes from
one of Giles' books. She also comes across a first edition Voltaire and
similarly rare Western texts, eventually settling down to read.
Eliot moves on to continue in the family
library. He reads up on many Sihns past and their too-often frequent
demises from shadowy events obviously only half-whispered by the books.
After the chess match, which Helmut wins
(they actually play a couple games, Sammy doing better in the second one), Sammy
moves along and runs across Loo. The idea of another
"swordfight" comes up, and Sammy asks for the rules to be explained
more clearly. Loo only says, "Start with swords, be resourceful, and
be honorable." Sammy highly doubts that Loo means what most people do
by honorable. Battle is soon joined. Sammy stays away from Loo more
carefully, dodging him so well that Loo admits, "Ah, you are
good!" Sammy then manages to stab Loo with the sword. Loo pulls
an interesting trick, leaving the sword stuck in himself and grabbing it to pull
Sammy closer, then striking Sammy. Loo deals Sammy three rapid blows,
hurting him and even stunning him at one point. But Sammy is
better-prepared and morphs his body to keep up with the damage. Then Loo
blinds Sammy with his spit. What Loo does not realize is that Sammy has
the fabled sonar of a bat, and can see still. Sammy surprises Loo,
grabbing the sword out of Loo. Loo sputters angrily in Chinese and tosses
his sword at Sammy, who avoids it. Then Sammy strikes Loo, knocking him
down. Suddenly, as he gets ready to strike again, Sammy trips and
falls backwards (GM note - 18 rolled). Both get up at the same time.
Loo looks weak and angry as Sammy moves across the room from Loo and releases an
acidic spray at him (simply returning the spitting gesture, in Sammy's
mind). The acid knocks out Loo. Sammy, ever decent, tends to Sihn
Loo's wounds, using his gel-like shedding to now cure them. But Loo
is a sore loser; as he comes to, he grabs Sammy's throat and tries to choke
him. Sammy quickly drops Loo and carries him out. He finds a servant
to take Loo to his room, Sammy explaining that Loo "got tired during the
match." Of course Loo still has cuts and bruises all over his
body. And famished, Sammy wanders into the first open room he can find
with food and helps himself.
It's finally time for the big
feast. Sihn Zsi announces that Sihn Loo cannot come as he is
"ill". Spectrum (told by Sammy what happened) catches a few
servants very slightly smiling as the real reason has spread. Eliot gets a
bit concerned, though, and asks Sammy a few questions to assure Loo didn't get
killed somehow (no doubt Eliot even more sensitized from the many accounts of
his family dying). He finds out that Loo tried to kill Sammy and at first
gets a bit angry, until Sammy explains that perhaps Loo wasn't trying to kill
him, but he was certainly playing very rough. Eliot then gives a
half-hearted lecture to Sammy about not being too rough himself on a host.
Sammy explains they're lucky as they both fell down at the end and Sammy just
squeezed out a victory. Sammy wonders aloud, "I hope he's not feeling
sore about it." Away in his room, Sihn Loo is indeed sore, in fact
he's possessed with a seething rage. Sammy wonders how Loo is, and Mi,
overhearing, says she'll be sure to check into Loo's condition. She's
smiling quite widely. Sammy, still friendly (after all, it's his
"dad's" family), points out Loo seemed "kind of mad" and
says he'd really like to help him. Mi is even more bemused as Sammy
wonders how he should patch things up. Eliot mentions to Sammy that
probably Fox Force Five would be a good intermediary. Mi offers to help,
but Eliot insists on letting things be.
Mi also expresses a desire to visit
Detroit. As Mi and Sammy talk, he points out he can show her places that
no one else ever visits. She's excited, not realizing he means the many
dumpsters and back alleys he frequents in search of interesting foods.
Suzanne, knowing the score, advises Mi that what most aren't interested in is a
dumpster tour that Sammy provides. She then recalls when, not thinking,
she asked her boyfriend Nightshade to take Sammy on patrol...Nightshade wasn't
so amused at first.
The feast winds on without event, and
soon the Justice Squad bids farewell. Eliot is disappointed, having now
not only lost his mother but realized there's no ancestral home worth
celebrating. But they're all glad to have helped Marlen who accompanies
them back. Marlen ends up staying with Willow.
Back in Detroit, conversation returns to
Magneto. Sihn has some dialogue with Suzanne about wanting to move against
Magneto and shares his concern about Laughton's relationship with Magneto.
And just a couple hours later, as Sammy and Spectrum are hanging out at Laughton
Agency and Eliot is toiling away at Sihn-tek, Velda, doing double duty covering
Sihn-tek's phones, calls...Magneto is visiting! And he wants to talk
specifically with Sihn. Eliot goes to the downstairs conference room,
while Spectrum, also notified, mentally knocks on Eliot's brain and offers her
help if he needs it. Sammy turns into a fly and gets away from Suzanne as
she tries to tell him not to bother Eliot, so she warns Eliot about that as
well. Spectrum then contacts Sammy telepathically and insists he comes
back. He resists, but she points out he can see Magneto after he talks to
Eliot, and they have things to talk about. Sammy says, "But what if
they need me? And I need to be there in case somebody says something
juicy!"
Magneto is brief with Eliot. He
points out that while he had warned them before he would no longer restrain
himself, he gave time and space. But he tells Nexus that if Nexus refuses
to get out of his way, he'll kill him. Nexus replies he won't get out of
his way, that his course of action is wrong. Magneto nods grimly and
leaves. Nexus moves on to a different dimension, making a simulacrum of
himself to activate as necessary. He decides to make arrangements to
ensure his family's safety as well.
As Magneto leaves, Suzanne (mentally
having been in contact with Eliot) is sure to tell Sammy. Sammy greets
Magneto enthusiastically, but Magneto is in a hurry and not in a good
mood. Sammy gives Magneto a big goodbye hug, and Magneto, dour, says
"To more pleasant times," as he leaves.
A
week later a new attack is launched on Laughton Agency! A loud sort of
thud is heard out front, and suddenly the sound of steel and glass smashing is
heard reverberating through Laughton Agency and at nearby Sihn-tek. A
massive metal dragon-like creature is attacking the Laughton Agency, smashing
through the vestibule and taking out the (heavily reinforced) front doors!
This huge dragon-like thing is four stories tall, as tall as Laughton Agency
itself. Nexus, Sammy, and Spectrum are nearby and leap into action.
Spectrum scans to see it has no brain activity. Nexus detects no magical
force. They note it is covered with a strange watery gel. Nexus asks
the creature "What's this about," but gets no response. The
dragon shoots an intense heat and the top story of Laughton Agency is set
ablaze!
Nexus, working from the side alley,
strikes the thing with a mystical force, borrowing energy from another dimension
intended to slow down the creature; it begins to work, but not before the thing
smashes into the second floor, weakening the building structure. Spectrum,
out on the street, telekinetically picks up debris and hurls it at the dragon to
no avail. She then grabs something more pointed but it also just makes a
clanging sound as it bounces off the extremely tough metal. Sammy sneaks
near the front of the building and then runs out to rescue a few nearby people
too slow or amazed to move in time.
Nexus then aims his energy at the thing
and slows it further, so that it is nearly brought to a halt, barely
moving. Suzanne creates a force wall from mental energy and scoops up some
of the Laughton Agency people, including Velda, and brings them to safety.
Nexus, taking extra time and aim, strikes the thing with a massive blast of
energy as he makes dimensions collide, but nothing penetrates it. Sammy
shoots an intensely concentrated spray that burns a very slight hole in it, but
one just big enough for him to slither into the thing. Nexus takes a rest
for a moment as Spectrum keeps them mind-linked with Sammy as he explores.
Sammy sees a conduit of cable and moves through the innards of the thing,
looking for gears or the like. He finds some dense, heavy gear-like
objects and strikes at them, starting to chip at them. Nexus makes another
mighty blow, denting it a bit. Spectrum grabs a parking meter with her
mind and sends it slamming into the beast-thing, change flying everywhere as it
lodges in the backside of it but does no real damage.
They study it and note the mouth of the
thing has a cannon-like projectile that shot the heat ray causing the fire on
Laughton Agency. Spectrum grabs a manhole covers, again telekinetically,
and projects it into the cavern, but misses a bit, hitting in the mouth but not
quite closing the hole, still causing damage. Nexus takes time to study it
further, but finds nothing immediately useful.
The dragon makes one more strike, its
tail flailing unexpectedly and striking Spectrum, stunning her. Nexus
moves to assist her as the dragon thing can only move slowly now. Spectrum
comes to while Sammy is continuing to chip at the gear until it suddenly
crumbles, and the nearby leg becomes immobile. Sammy finally leaves the
thing and using his knowledge Nexus teleports into it. It is quickly
disabled as they continue to focus on its weak points, the gears and head
area. But as Nexus works on the internal head area, he finds a couple
boxes. One appears to be a bomb of sorts, which he disables, but another,
smaller box explodes and some sort of devices are entirely destroyed.
They move it to a park and study the
metal it was composed of, as well as the rockets embedded in its feet which
enabled its travel. They also check the fuel. From their findings,
they determine the metal is an alloy provided by Schlumberger, the French
equivalent of Haliburton. They find the dragon is 4 tons, and what is most
odd, but provoking, is that there is no trace of DNA or human involvement in
it. They begin to suspect the robotic stalker of mutants who killed the
Jerky Boys and the Amazing Mazer. The thing only carried enough fuel to
get it to Laughton Agency; from examining the type of fuel and dynamics of the
dragon, they surmise it traveled between 3,000 and 8,000 miles, coming from the
direction of Europe or North Africa.
Suzanne also takes time to use her legal
skills and work with some of the disturbed folk, assuring waivers are signed and
no charges are pressed. T-shirts are made saying "I got slightly
injured and signed a waiver and all I got was this lousy t-shirt," a
trademark of the Justice Squad.
Laughton Agency meanwhile has sustained
millions in damages.
Contacts are made with other nations via
Terwilliger. Canada, the US, and the UK acknowledge seeing a rapid moving
object. French authorities report no such thing. They contact
Laughton and begin to investigate more deeply...
