				<strong><span class="bbc_u">Archived News reel</span></strong><br>Scene, Eternity Square, Omegatropolis.<br>News crews flock the area, keeping behind the military cordon as helicopters bearing SWAT-insignias circle overhead; several buildings already in ruins and cars strewn around like discarded toys. A sudden explosion rocks the area, sending reporters and their cameramen running for cover. One brave soul focuses the camera on a rooftop of a fast food joint where the heroine Ascended is fighting against the villain Bean Sidhe, both of the Atlanteans tossing magic at each other that make the air tremble with power. Then Ascended gains the upper hand and her next spell seems to wink Bean Sidhe out of existence.<br>Meanwhile, Inferno and Scion are fighting against the massive form of Kraken, the immense mutated beast covering several nearby city blocks. As quickly as the two heroes can remove one huge tentacle, two more lash out at them and they look bloodied and worn. However a few well-aimed blasts from Omega Man forces the beast back, and Inferno and Scion take this window of opportunity to leap onto the main body of Kraken, tearing through magitech armor and into the oily flesh beneath. The battle is brutal, with all four of the Vanguard soon joining in the battle to vanquish the massive monstrosity. With the last two of the Centuro's vanquished the beaten enemy toll is now ten, with the last threat still there.<br>Standing victorious over his minions, the Arch Nemesis of Omegatropolis arrives to fight the heroes; Liege Maximo. The armor-clad gestalt is as imposing now as he was when Commander Freedom fought him almost seventy years ago. <br>The Vanguard are wounded, the heart of the great city in ruins around them and the most powerful villain in the history of the world stands before them. Yet they do not flinch, they do not hesitate when they throw themselves into battle with him.<br>Ascended bends the walls between dimensions, channeling another reality into this one and unleashing devastating magical energies, Inferno strikes like lightning and throws shurikens so fast that they become like a silvery mist, Scion striking aside pieces of debris tossed at her friends and then leaping into close combat with the Liege and Omega Man fires again and again. Yet they slowly fall, Ascended dying from a blast of pure mental energy, Inferno tossed aside with a broken neck. The two remaining heroes almost beaten when Scion holds Maximo down for a brief moment; Omega Man grabbing that chance to overload the Nexus reactor in his suit.<br>Ground Zero; the blast obliterating five city blocks, leaving the comatose form of Omega Man as the only survivor. <br>In the following days, then weeks, no trace is found of the other heroes of the Vanguard, and the city decides to erect a marble monolith with their names and deeds inscribed to honor their valiant last stand.<br>And then came the slow process of rebuilding, Omegatropolis suddenly lacking the defenders that had held the supervillains at bay. The police did their best, as always and so did the lesser heroes of the city, fighting what was at best a delaying action in the greater war.&nbsp; The more powerful heroes won victories here and there, or fell to villains arriving to the city. <br>The human authorities powerless to stop the rising level of crime, it fell to the Atlantean High Council to set things into motion; sending their greatest sorceress to Omegatropolis, subtly offering financial or material aid to others who stood on the precipice of becoming heroes.<br><br>And amongst those they chose, four stand out as being as powerful, if not more so than the old Vanguard. This is their story, this is their battle. They are the New Vanguard.

Then the voice of the U.S. Designed L.A.I.

				The break of dawn brings a new day for the world's largest city, a day where villains yet again hold almost complete dominion. <br><br>Police radio reports about a robbery in progress at the International Trade Bank, the villain known as Mobster and his gang holding hostages while they empty the vaults of millions of dollars.<br><br>At the Shining Star Hospital, members of the organization known as The Legion have stolen medical supplies to a staggering value and are heading towards the docks.<br><br>And finally, the villain Iron Strike are engaging OPD RRT's at central park.<br><br>Just another day, or the day when the phoenix rises from the ashes to usher in a new dawn?

His colleagues actually, after the catastrophe that was his arrest and court appearance, modelling was the only paying job he had left. Not that he could blame anyone. It was his accursed luck. Sometimes it send him into directions he completely did not expect. Like flying out of the OPD on charges of corruption and straight into prison. And instead of being found innocent he was released on a technicality.<br><br>So distracted he was by his own ramblings that he walked straight past a police barrier, with the officer on call too busy with others to notice him. The Special Weapons and Tactics team was focused on their path of ingress into the bank. And the goon that was supposed to watched the revolving door entrance had only momentarily glanced at the somewhat exposed thigh on the pretty girl on the floor. The ones guarding the hostages were too focused on their task, and the hostages themselves too cowed by their assailants.<br><br>And so he walked into his bank, pulled out his card and stuck it into the slot, waiting for it to process, and then he started with his withdrawal.

Nothing showed. It never did.

				With just himself here, running his mouth was actually not a very good option, but he needed to do something. After all there were still hostages and he was but a single man, but there might be an option to it and he grinned a little. It was like he once read. It might actually have been in a police manual.<br><br><em>"When in doubt, do something stupid."</em> Or something like that. Might have been to not try anything smart. He didn't remember.<br><br>"Hey there, fellows." he said as he drew their attention this his presence, his tone the most jovial he could muster and his smile just as winning, even giving the lady with the pretty legs a wink, and he dug his cellphone out, holding it up as threatening as he could, his thumb hovering over the dial button, "This must be your lucky day. Because I'm having a hangover and I'm really not in the mood to rough you thugs up. So, I'm giving you this one chance to drop your weapons, walk out in an orderly fashion, and surrender to the nice officers outside."<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Dice Stuff</div><div class="spoiler_body">Demoralize Attempt with Deception, using Taunt, targeting the minions.

No sound of anyone screaming inside had her edging her feet apart and brace herself as the vehicle came flying towards her, both arms up. <br>Metal creaked as the car connected with the woman, the vehicle crumpling in the middle as if folding around her and Valkyrie felt every single heartbeat as if the world had slowed down. Saw the fabric that covered her arms tear apart as metal and glass exploded around her, felt the ground beneath her feet as the impact pushed her back...but she was still standing. <br>She flipped the vehicle over with one hand to her right side, the landing causing a gush of wind that fluttered the torn pieces of fabric and her raven black hair.

Splinters rained about the area as she stood up, a heartbeat where she paused to look at the figure before her then she crouched and her figure became a blur for most of the onlookers as she rushed forward. Iron Strike with the optics of his battle armor could read how fast she accelerated, and how her arm extended in a classic wrestling grip before she crashed into him. Arm catching him by the midriff as she came in low, the sound of the actual impact explosive.

The RRT's officers move forward, spread out in small groups with their rifles aimed at Iron and some at her. <br>One of them moves to stand before her, rifle held down but ready.<br>"You okay there sister?

				Being led out quietly, was actually something he had already experienced in the past. Including the assorted press, the flashes of cameras, the microphones directed in his way. Except the last time he was cuffed, and the questions where how he felt betraying the city for money and a similar line of questioning.<br><br>This time around he was smiling, the bright flashes bringing back the pounding of the hangover. Or perhaps it was his quiet wish that his luck would make cameras malfunction, pens run out of ink and pencil tips snap. But he was probably not going to be that lucky, so he gave a moment.<br><br>"Chance Dexter." he replied to the the question about who he was, posing for the cameras for a moment, "And I guess I was just lucky. In the right spot at the right time. The true heroes however are the boys in blue, risking their lives every day for the good citizens of Omegapolis. They deserve the attention and the glory."<br><br>No sooner did he say those words, or he already knew he would regret it. If his luck brought the press onto him, then it was very likely, that it would also make something he just said as crucially important. And usually those things came around to bite him in the butt. Being the luckiest man alive did also mean that those one in a million chances of something happening also happened to him. Good or bad. Usually good, but bad often quickly followed.

She was wearing a purple coat, with matching knee high boots, a silver metallic vest and a short black shorts. She was standing right between the villains and the security guards, facing the three menacing robbers.<br><br>The alien cop brandished to wicked looking pistols, obviously alien in origin, covered in chrome and circuitry. She leveled one of them at the mooks, "Alright, you three, you have this one chance to give up and be escorted to the proper authorities while conscious and with all your parts where they should be and without any holes in them. We can do this the easy way... or we can do this the hard way. I leave the choice to you."

"I hope you get cred enough for what you guys do every day, and I would be honored to work with you again in the future."

Not the stubborn student that he had trained, but a woman that had made up her mind and would not be swayed whatever he did or said beyond actually restraining her. An action that he would know as one she would never forgive him for.<br>So at that fortunate day when Luck seemed to be at work Valkyrie had walked up to city hall in the fanciest thing she owned, which happened to be a black little cocktail dress with matching heels.

She realized, of course, that some attention was inevitable, given her obviously alien appearance, but she didn't fight crime to be celebrated, she did it because it was the right thing to do, and especially here on Earth where her species gained extraordinary speed and she could be even more effective.<br><br>Three days later she received a call from her superior officer, actually encouraging her to take the Governor up on his offer, that it would be a good first step towards and kind of formal alliance between the two species. The thought made her a little nervous but she accepted, and so it was that she happened to show up at City Hall the same day as the others.<br><br>Shuffling her feel a little, her ears twitched as she glanced around at the other heroes. She remained silent for the moment, hoping they didn't mind being associated with an alien such as herself.

				Her mentor had argued against her, and with the stubbornness she'd coem to expect. But when she had decided to leave, there had been no arguments, nothing. He'd looked at her, stood aside and gestured for her to go.<br>"You're ready, get going. No use in holding you back anymore."<br>There'd been infinite sadness in those words, but then he'd turned back to his solo-training, sinking into the melancholic mood she'd seen him in at times.<br><br>The door to the governors office opens, and a man wearing a nice suit and with a visible bulge beneath his chest and wearing sunglasses gestures for them to enter. Inside waits Alfred Liefeld, governor of the city-state of Omegatropolis and overall workhorse of the United American-Canadian Federation.<br>He greets them each with a firm handshake and a hearty smile.<br>"Welcome, welcome! I'm honored to have you accept my invitation! And I extend a formal and heartfelt thanks on the behalf of Omegatropolis, you have given the city a boost in hope."<br>He gestures for them to sit on four prepared very luxurious reclining chairs.<br>He waits until they sit before he sits down himself.<br>"As some of you may know, I'm the governor of this city-state, Alfred Liefeld."

				She had paused momentarily around Quickie, not certain how to go about the greeting and not be rude with too many questions. Though as Dreamshard appeared and got to the introductions smoothly Valkyrie followed up. her handshake firm and warm, and more than likely enveloping the more petite females hands as she introduced herself. "This is really great, I mean...I know you guys were out there in the city but seeing you in person is just awesome." Her smile was a bit sheepish as she pushed a few stray locks of hair back.<br>Chance coming over and Dreamshard greeting gave her another chance to just look over the trio before she shook Chance's hand after Dreamshard. "Valkyrie." The man still looked like some sort of model, she could only hope she made a good enough impression now as her clothes had been in a rather poor state after the fight to fit into the group. The female alien had the smoothest skin she had ever laid eyes upon, the Atlantian had that sort of petite beauty that could make men trip over themselves.<br>Before she had the chance to try and fit herself into the image the doors opened and she turned around, then headed inside. A shake, introduction and smile later she had to take a good look around, seeing the inside of the governors office was not something she had envisioned herself doing.

She was doubly so affected when the sole male of the group walked up. He was very handsome, even for an alien. Maybe especially for an alien, was her first thought, as she was starting to wonder if she might be more than a little xenophiliac. Her second thought was a reminder that SHE was the alien, not them, even though to her pretty much everyone and everything around her seemed as such.<br><br>She reached out her hand to shake Chance's after the other two girls had done so, and she offered her hand to them as well. "Umm... you can call me Quickie," she felt a little strange going by a code name, it wasn't like she had an identity to protect, but it seemed appropriate to go along with the others in that regard.<br><br>Once in the governor's office, she shook his hand enthusiastically, and then far longer than she would have thought necessary to settle into the overly comfortable chair that had been offered to her. She was still trying to wiggle herself into a somewhat comfortable position as the governor formerly introduced himself. "Thank you very much for the invitation, Governor Liefeld," the alien cop said in a fairly soft yet mostly confident tone.

				Chance smiled at the ladies who shook his hand, giving each of them an equal glance, an equally interested glance and the touch was warm and just firm enough. All the while keeping his blue eyes in very appropriate locations.<br><br>It was actually pretty amazing. He was there, with the superheroes. The real superheroes. Superspeed, in an interesting pink-skinned package. Superstrength, in a tiny black dress. And magic in uniform. And then he was there. Chance Dexter, ordinary guy.<br><br>He just really did not feel like he belonged at all. After all, he barely had any powers. Just a bit of luck at times, and a bit of bad luck for others at other times. And half of the time it was unpredictable and chaotic. Not really a super-power. But still, he was here.

				Studying them while they get comfortable, the governor then smiles as they seem to have settled in.<br>"Not everyday you're in the presence of such individuals. Though to be fair, you're not as, hmm, 'larger than life' that the original Vanguard were. No offense meant, it's good to not feel like a small ant is all I'm saying."<br>He gestures at the bodyguard, who opens the door and lets in a well-dressed butler that offers the quartet drinks or something to eat before withdrawing.<br>Once that's done, Liefeld stands, turning on a holographic map of Omegatropolis.<br>"The loss of the original Vanguard was a devastating blow to the Canadian-American Federation, as they were our primary pro-active superhero group in the east. The RRT and some of the solo heroes are trying to fight back, but we've registered fifteen new supervillains in the past six months. Three were taken down by a heroine named Blitz, two more by the Vigilante Gunslinger and the hero Monkey King. Another was captured by the RRT, but they suffered one hundred dead."<br>Sighing deeply he folds his hands behind his back.<br>"The president even considered extending a request for help to the European Alliance."<br>He chuckles.<br>"Would have meant chaos up at Capitol Hill. However, out of nowhere you four appear, each of you powerful and doing a deed of heroics in a very visible way. We needed that boost of morale, needed the victories. We needed you, and still do. So, heroes...Will you carry the torch and become the New Vanguard?"<br>

That in itself meant that if they agreed to the governor's proposal, they would have very big shoes to fill.<br><br>She glanced at the governor and then the other three prospective members of her new team, should they all agree. "I came here to Earth because your planet's magnetic field gives my race special powers. I can do more good here than I could on my own planet, and I hope that someday our worlds will have formal relations. Seems like the Vanguard has quite a reputation, but I think we can live up to it if we try hard enough. I'll join the New Vanguard," she nodded and then waited for the others to reply.

The last thing she needed to do now was to hunt crumbs down her cleavage.<br>As Liefield opened the map and explained she hung to his every word, nodding for herself. Each of the fights she had followed by the TV when reporters had been able to catch it. Wanting to be out there herself, to help.<br>The increase of supervillains had been noticed, the city had been grieving while they had been celebrating and the growth compared with how fast they were taken down didn't add up in a good way.

Chance's words making her a bit more level headed as she looked at him, phased for a moment by the insecurity she thought she heard. "Then we should all be so lucky as to have you with us.

				She hadn't jumped over to Chance and pulled the man into a great big hug due to two reasons, first being she wasn't sure her heels would survive her jumping and second she wasn't sure her puppies would have stayed in the pound. So instead she had smiled. "Aside, beside, inside or outside. It's all good."<br>The mentioning of a press conference had her crossing her arms for a moment as it sounded very formal aswell, but since she had pulled through the meeting today she could surely do the same when that day came. The chance to have an income of her own was awesome really, not that she had ever shopped much but by the rate her clothes had been damaged in the fight she would need something sturdier to wear. Now maybe she could pay for it herself.<br>Then the key was placed on the table and the rest of the world ceased to exist for a moment. The key, the invitation to the inner sanctum of the Vanguard, it was there within reach. <br>It wasn't until Dreamshard picked it up that she blinked, and with Chance calling dibs on the room with a view in the living quarters she was quick enough chime in a; "I call shotgun on the skimmer!" All with a cheeky smile as she wasn't entirely sure what a skimmer was.<br>The young detective had gotten a wave and a hello as he introduced himself.

				"That's another thing I don't like about superheroing." Chance said to Valkyrie, who seemed to also have issues with her wardrobe at times, as he took of his jacket, several gaping holes where hot lead had passed through the silken fabrics. His shirt was bloodied too, so that had to go too. You couldn't be superheroic covered in your own blood. But Chance did. So the shirt had to go, just a few superficial bruises and scrapes over an otherwise incredibly chiseled body. His injuries looked far worse than they actually were.<br><br>Of course, he came prepared, and as the bang came, he was immaculately dressed again, as always, dealing with his own personal score of groupies, who, since he tried to be noticed at times as a superhero actually did notice him, the tabloids being full with Omegapolis' most eligible bachelor superhero.<br><br>He rubbed his ears too and glanced around. "What was that ?" he asked puzzled for a moment, looking at his three beautiful companions, even after a few days, still carrying a somewhat flirtatious smile. Although he had kept himself completely professional outside of that smile.

				"So, this is a container for lifestock of sorts, Officer Hahn ?" Chance asked his tone formal as he heard Quickie give the explanation in words he did not entirely understand. As in, the only part he understood was the stasis pod bit. For a moment his eyes were on the alien blood, but then they moved back to Quickie. Their own alien had a certain something about her, and she was definitely worth looking at. At which it had to stay though. Chance had rules.

				She had skipped out of Dreamshard's vehicle as they arrived, too curious to stay put and just wait when an actual alien craft had crashed.

				Quickie quickly investigates the crash site, relaying the type of craft, how it can hold up to 200 short tons of cargo, and that this particular one seems to have been high-security judging from the dozen or so safety precautions meant to keep something in.

				"As if there wasn't enough smuggling planetside." Chance grumbled, but then grinned for a moment and nodded at Dreamshard's suggestion. They would have to find a solution to the skimmer though.

				In those few moments Chance felt his world a bit shaken at several foundations. First there was Valkyrie, her lips locked to his, her amazingly athletic body so close to his he couldn't help but wrap his arms around for just a moment, pulling her deeper into the kiss for just a moment, before being interrupted by the sound of jets and lots of metal crashing nearby, enough to look at the newcomer and break the kiss, but no less the embrace.<br><br>The screams of surrender were enough to make him turn further and break the embrace reluctantly, letting go of the girl.

				If there was a proper way to react when an imaginary bubble burst Valkyrie had not heard of it. From some romantic dream scenario real life came crashing in, the battle that was at an end, some sort of creature caught pleading for its life and the embarrassing fact that she had outright molested one of her teammates...in the midst of a fight, in front of everyone. Mortified didn't even come close to describing how she felt, and had a sinkhole appeared to swallow her whole she would have thanked her lucky star.<br>As it was she was left standing where she was, too ashamed to dare to look at her teammates at this point when she spoke.

				"Very well, Miss." Chance said after having heard both the words of Quickie and the newcomer whose name had much more the ring of a villainess to it than a heroine.

"Alien, you are under arrest." he said to the alien, although his words were meant for Quickie and Lady Omega, "But on this planet you have rights, even as a prisoner."

				She had for awhile scurried on to her old home to live on the sofa wrapped in a snuggly blanket watching TV shows while eating whatever struck her fancy and in larger amounts than should be possible. It had all in all been a good way to sulk for two- three days until TV-shows had changed for the news, and one day she had stood up, looked at her mentor while brushing the cookie crumbs from her pajama while exclaiming. "It's time to go back out and kick some ass." And kindly enough after cleaning up after herself and getting a good well needed shower she had headed back to the HQ.<br><br>In her absence a special delivery had arrived and been placed in her little part of the HQ and upon finding it by her return Val had been over the top excited. So much so that by the day Jarl dropped by for a visit and as she spotted him she quickly held up a finger. "Wait there, just right there. I need to show you what Clarke helped me get, be right back!" Said and done she rushed to her room and came back proudly holding her special ordered hero costume that mayhaps for her mentor seemed to lack some parts. But for Val it was amazing, awesome and absolutely perfect, which she of course described it as. The fabric made to handle the smack downs she every once in awhile found herself receiving.

To actually all kinds of other things that the luckiest man alive seemed to attract.<br><br>But when he was not about the city, or at work, he did spend his time opening the mail and working through it. Using small cards to leave a small personalized message to most people that wrote to him, even though at the rate he worked and the rate the mail came in, that could be more than a life's work.

The notion of scritching Jarl anywhere to have him purring felt just very very wrong and was an image she could have done well without ever getting into her head.

				Patrolling the city, that was just his thing, and unfortunately, it also meant that if there was any trouble, he would often stumble into it.

				"All aboard the Val lift, VIP section sir?" Picking Chance up she blinked with a smile, then the amazon jumped off the roof giving Chance the shortcut of shortcuts down to street level. "I still love when it tickles in the pit of my tummy." The smile had broadened a bit and she let Chance down as quickly as he seemed to be ready.<br>The matter of there being robots here meant she didn't have to focus on the actual force behind her blows, unless of course someone wanted to interrogate a robot real quickly before booking it. Though people at the scene felt as if it was a larger problem with missiles being fired so she started clearing a pathway where people could run.

				She wasn't sure if she had a chance to take Hammerdown out, all she knew was that she had to continue trying so when that hammer rose she braced herself. Then thunder erupted from the sky and the ceiling beneath her feet started to crumble. "You bet I'll see you later." She called after Hammerdown, but instead of following the big battlesuit she rushed forward. Much as Hammerdown had hoped Val's anger had cleared enough that Dreamshard was on the top of her list.<br>Diving forward she snatched up her petite companion before pushing them both off the ledge.

What's the status over there?" There wasn't time to waste and she gave Dream a quick smile. "It should be safer here, a third unknown party joined."

				"Uncalled for!" She wasn't entirely sure why Barbra felt the need to ground her, but she knew it had to be unjust. Then.. "...ey, you can't ground me." With Lady Omega spending so much time with her father and how easily a mentioning of being grounded had slipped from Lady Omega Val's gut instinct had made her speak without thinking first. Then she looked at the newcomer and smile, curiosity and interest sparking in her eyes at the notion of what looked like a new superhero. "Good to have another friendly drop by Aegis, I'm Valkyrie. Sorry about the circumstances." The amazonian female motioned her arm as if to include the whole banged up area.<br>Broken items didn't exactly bring her down nowadays, and civilians hurt had been kept to a minimum which in hindsight truly felt like a miracle. The true worry now were Dreamshard as their teammate had taken the brunt of the beat downs. Even the thought of it had her brow furrowing again. Hammerdown had gone after Dream with a vengeance.

				Withdrawing from the chaos the Vanguard leaves the scene of their first hollow victory; the destruction massive and while the casualties had been kept to a minimum it still echoed throughout the news that day about how the Vanguard had almost been beaten. The best of the city's heroes, and they'd met a imposing new villain who seemed terrifyingly more powerful than any other villain presently active in Omegatropolis.<br>It was indeed a Pyrrhic victory.<br><br>Though, they are all alive, and with Arianna at their side the Vanguard finds themselves one friend richer. The trip back to their base is solemn, and their presence there greeted by Fenris who pulls Val aside to speak to her. Then the day passes into history, and a new one dawns as the group begins to train and prepare for the inevitable appearance of Pantheon again. Days turning to weeks and then months as the Vanguard forges itself anew in struggle against the city's villains. though part of it breaks as Chance is offered a spot on the UWG (United World Governments) seat of Superpowered Surveillance Directive. Though Arianna proves herself to be a worthy addition to the team as the young woman proves to be very capable, and fighting with magical weapons makes her even more so.<br>And, as the group grows closer, it leaves way for dynamics to form; as Valkyrie begins to go for movie nights with the RRT detective Clarke, and Lady Omega starts dating Valkyrie's father/mentor Fenris. The two female heroes also going on nightly crime-stopping missions whenever Barb isn't working on improving her armour. During their time together, the two female heroes find Val's father/mentor Fenris brutally beaten and are forced to get him to a hospital. Swearing vengeance Valkyrie and Barbara hunts down the two villains responsible; Blackguard and Ironstrike. After a long and brutal battle in the central park the heroes emerge victorious, with Blackguard going off to jail and the cleaners wiping away pieces of what remains of Ironstrike after the insane merc decided to blow himself up trying to kill Val and Barb<br>For Dreamshard, her time spent with improving her magic repertoire gives the Atlantean a taste of home, and the hope they seem to hold for the Vanguards success. For Arianna, she gets a room at the HQ, and a taste of being part of something much greater than a solo career.<br>Dreamshard and Arianna encounters and together takes down a new vampiric villain named RavenHeart which they manage to vanquish by combining Ari's combat abilities with the fiery magic of Dream and in turn gain a nemesis as the villain returns less than a week later, swearing vengeance agains Dream and Ari in particular.<br>And then there's the small issue of the lawsuit brought against the Vanguard on behalf of Cutting Edge Systems; the people who owned the box which Valkyrie smashed. As it stands, the lawsuit s only a few days old but the CAR(Canadian American Republic) is fractured as some of the conservative powers that be advocate leashes on the superheroes and more governmental control while the supporters of the Vanguard and similar individuals cry out in anger.<br><br>While this happens, a new hero has begin to skulk the shadows; her path entwined with the Vanguard whether either party knows about it, but as of yet the threads of fate hangs loosely. However, coinciding with her appearance is the arrival of a new villain, Kage Sasori...Who avoids the Vanguard, but who they hear about form the OPD as whatever he is he's gathering control over the city's underworld.<br><br>It is now that the next chapter begins, it is nearing Christmas, and there's actually a tree with gifts placed beneath if in the HQ. Where and what are the heroes of the city doing on this day?<br><br>((OOC: More to come, rushing posts, not best idea.))<br>

				She wondered what it was about this city, about these humans, but it seems as the weather was getting colder, these people just went crazy in their frenzy to acquire things. And not only the honest people, but also those on the streets that used violence to take what they wanted. It had been some months since she arrived on this world, having caught a ride on a passing freighter, and as long as they saw little more of her than the large hood pulled over her head, most humans didn't look at her twice.<br><br>She moved at night, unseen, sticking to the shadows, and defended those that fell victim to violence whenever she could. It was not like there was anyone here for her on this world. Her brother had fallen a long time ago. And she herself was an alien that would receive much undue attention. As even with the superheroes around, most of these humans still believed their little world was the center of the universe. The shadows in this city were amazing though. In her home town, her old hometown, everything went dark at night, and even shadows were a rare occasion. But what lurked there. What was now contained within her. Was much worse than any of the petty thugs she took out. Although it was amzing to see them run around in the red suits and filled with padding, which made it much easier to pounce.<br><br>Whatever it was, this was a good place to hide in. And the humans were not all bad. She did have a place in what was called a shelter. And people didn't ask much questions, nor did they mind that she kept herself hidden from their view. Although as she stalked her latest, clad in the furry red and white outfit, she did wish she could let her guard down more often and bathe.<br><br>But those thoughts were fleeting as her mark screamed as the shadows around him came to life, grabbign him, and choking the life out of him. And those thoughts were equally fleeting when an unconcious Santa Clause was found at the steps of the police precinct with the purse he snatched on top of him. The night carried a new terror, but the good citizens could sleep soundly.

The many months fighting side by side with the vanguard, winning and making the city safer perhaps altered her mindset that they couldn't be defeated. Today changed that mindset. Her armour, body and confidence didn't come out unscathed. Neither did the rest of the team. Many black eyes and bloody lips were given that day.<br><br>As time went by, things got back into motion just like they were. Although now with a new face joining the team: Arianna. The 'weapons master' she had coined a nickname forher. Strong, loyal and friendly. All you could ask for when fighting crime. Yes, things were getting back to normal.<br><br>That was until one night patrolling with Val. Word over the radio sent chills down both ladies spine as a description of a man, sounding like Fenris, was reported down and injured. Her horror was confirmed when she saw his broken body. Val, who's rage at this point threw out all logic charged off in the distance to find the perpetrators as Barb remained at her lovers side till medical crews arrived.<br><br>The fight was long, brutal and filled with emotion. That very emotion likely the cause that saw the heroes win that night. Nobody hurts Fenris and gets away with it. Especially when it's Valkrie, his daughter and Barbara, his partner. Even the desperate attempt by Ironstrike didn't fell them. No, they were strong that day, as a team, for Fenris and as good friends.<br><br>"Merry Christmas everyone!"<br><br>She always did enjoy the time of the year. I mean who wouldn't? On one night leading to that faithful day she promised the team she'd cook for them. Turns out 'cooking' really meant ordering pizzas and drinks for the team. Still, it was pleasant time to be around friends, family and no villains. At least she hoped the latter was true for the whole of the Christmas season.<br><br><br><br></span></div>

				Arianna was clearly in high spirits ever since meeting the Vanguard, despite some of her new companions feeling apprehensive about seeing Pantheon again.&nbsp; She had spent a lot of time training with the others, learning how to fight with them, as well as going out with Dreamshard on a few smaller missions.<br><br>For now though, with the holidays closing in, she was spending the day shopping at one of the local malls.&nbsp; She had some money burning a hole in her pocket, and some of those dresses looked just perfect for her.&nbsp; Thankfully, she was able to enjoy a nice, quiet day of shopping.&nbsp; Or at least... relatively quiet, as she had chased down two thieves already.&nbsp; One of them she even jumped from the second floor balcony to catch, realizing after she did it just how bad of an idea that was - though thankfully she managed to slip away before any of the mall cops could stop her to ask a few uncomfortable questions.

Not only had Valkyrie fussed about in the headquarters but she had been fussing around her father as if expecting him to break any moment, the notion that she could loose him had struck a nerve that truly had frightened the amazon and made her loose control. The fight a blurr in her mind until the moment that Iron Strike had detonated himself in an attempt to take them all with him...<br>But that was then and this was now, and here and now she wouldn't let some pesky lawsuit or grumpy father that nearly barked that he could handle his own laundry ruin her Holiday spirits.<br><br>So this day found Valkyrie stalking around the HQ Christmas tree, trying to look casual while in fact honing in on a present that looked like it had her name on it. Not to open it, but maybe just lift it a bit and give it a minor shake to try and find out what was inside.<br><br><br><br>

Glad to have you with us Jim, can you tell us a bit about this current situation with the New Vanguard versus Cutting Edge Systems?"</strong><br>Andrea Downings, the most glamorous and well-respected of the NNC anchors smiled at her guest then the cameras. her guest, a man in his 50's smiles the sort of smile a nervous professor would smile when a bit out of his environment.<br>"Thank you Andrea, well...The situation isn't exactly simple as the Presidential Executive Order of 1947 stipulates that A Superpowered individual is a member of the Canadian-American Republic yet hold certain leeway's to their lives due to the extraordinary powers that they wield. That is, if they wield them for what President Algrove called 'the Greater Good'. The Vanguard are defenders of the city, much like the Winter Pack of the Scandinavian Union or the&nbsp; Légion Liberté in France and as such their extrajudicial status is quite...Well, pardon the wording, superb. However, as corporations normally deal with damage claims in the Corporate Court, which is a separate entity from the judicial courts of the CAR it means that in theory Cutting Edge Systems could have a case to stand on AND a forum to bring it up in. And that's ignoring the damage that this could cause to the public image of the Vanguard." <br>The discussion continues for over two hours, and most news channels have variations of it or pundits debating pro's and cons of super powered groups and entities.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Omegatropolis, Street.</span></strong><br>The group of goons had gone for the rough approach, five of them assaulting a trio of civilians; one man walking his girlfriend and her roomie home. The two women surrounded by three goons while the other two goons beat up the man.<br>"Ya shouldn't have said no kiddo. There's a new rule on the streets, and as we're part of that we take whatever the fuck we want. And we want your ladies."<br>The two women scream and plead, their voices reaching the ears of at least one new arrival to the city.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Vanguard HQ</span></strong><br>Fenris, in human form, had by now greeted Arianna formally and introduced himself as Valkyrie's father and mentor. Though whenever Val coddled him he showed his wolfen nature quickly with an angry bark at her and a shouted. "I can take care of myself!" before storming off. All in all, the group is perhaps less awe-inspiring up close to the young heroine, though they are more friendly as well.<br>One the current day, a young man in his mid 20's accompanied by an older black tough-as-nails looking guy arrives and introduces themselves as Liam and Clarke respectively. Liam's the liaison between the Vanguard and the OCPD while Clarke represents the RRT (Swat force) of the police department.<br>Liam looks a bit more serious than the group remembers him, and as usual he does his damnedest not to look at Dreamshard at all.<br>"Well, the lawsuit against you guys have been delivered to the Corporate Court, who's going to try it's validity in a week unless something unexpected happens...I'm assigned to help you with legal matters if necessary."

One short step and the distance was no longer an issue, her green slitted eyes taking in the scene in front of her. The many lights actually gave her more than enough shadows to work with and she grinned.<br><br>And then the shadows came alive, or so it seemed, as a shapeless black shadow jumped from it, threw a punch that knocked one of the goons beating up on the man into the air, and when the other gun tried to assist his buddy just disappeared into wisps of shadow, as his fist touched nothing but air. Not even a second later, the shadow landed on that second thug and smashed him into the ground, staying there on top of the fallen foe.<br><br>"Shoot it. Shoot it." one of the three remaining goons yelled, in panick as they grabbed their pistols and unleashed lead upon the shadowy figure.<br><br>As the remaining thugs drew their firearms underneath her cloak of shadows, Shadu flashed a toothy grin, disappearing straight away, landing the sign of one of the shops, and watching the thugs unload their guns in the direction of where she used to be. Even that much darker thing within her was amused. But it was almost always amused by violence. Shadu shook her head, focussed herself, and her grin faded as she went after the last three thugs. The first one, went down from a punch by one of the tentacles she formed out of the many snaking shadows around them. She was no longer there, when two remaining guns ripped apart the sign where she had been before. Standing right behind one of the thugs now. A simple spinkick took out the one she was not behind, sending him sprawling to the ground, and when the one she used for cover spun around to shoot his gun blindly she was already gone.<br><br>"Raargh."the goon yelled as he blindly started to fire around, only to be landed upon by a graceful figure covered from head to toe in clothes that had seen much better days.<br><br>She couldn't help but show of to the stunned victims of this assault and made a graceful and elegant bow. "Better take care of your male." she said, her voice soft, almost shy, her R rolling of her tongue. And then she stepped out from underneath the streetlight's beam and was gone. Back on the rooftop, watching down at the city, while she carefully unwrapped her now cold hamburger from it's paper. "Stupid goons." she muttered, "Ruined a perfectly good meal."

				An hour or so after Clarke had left, the Vanguard were called out again to do battle; a new villain called Cytana had attacked the Omegatropolis Technological Institute at the head of a small army of minions from The Legion. After a pitched battle that took several hours the Vanguard fought Cytana at the heart of the institute,&nbsp; where he'd attempted to steal a prototype of a matter transfer device. In the ensuing battle the device was activated and detonated spectacularly, leaving a a 20 by 20' hole in the room...And no Valkyrie as she and Cytana had been standing next to the device when it exploded.<br>Pulling back from the field of battle one friend less the Vanguard for the first time suffered a loss that was not easy to deal with.<br><br>And so, Christmas comes and the city is in a festive mood; the villains mostly in hiding after the Vanguards and freelance heroes battles against them and stability created. However, at the Vanguard HQ, one room lies empty and abandoned, and a cheerful voice always eager to give praise or support is silent.<br>And outside, shadows draw nearer...<br><br>Shadowcat found herself eye to eye with Monkey King, one of the better known freelance heroes of the city. He'd joked and chatted with her before vanishing in a puff of smoke; seemingly taking in her worth. Now, days later she finds herself watching the city from the rooftops, her presence made a matter of interest in several newspapers as they cheer on "The Teleporting Terror!" in her fight against the bad guys of the city.

				Arianna had spent less and less time at the headquarters after Valkyrie's disappearance, instead spending her time going after various thugs and gangs of criminals.&nbsp; It was becoming apparent that she was taking the loss pretty poorly, and her antics were becoming more and more violent, each time leaving the criminal in worse and worse shape for the police - several needing hospitalization before being arrested.<br><br>After one particular bout, she returned to the headquarters, clearly wrapped up in her own thoughts, not even acknowledging the other members of the group as she made her way towards her room.

				Even though things were somewhat urgent, Shadu had taken the time to enjoy some of the luxuries the Vanguard Headquarters offered. A long hot shower, with a hint of lavender shampoo she picked out of a magazine just for the occasion, her rags of disguise left on the floor of the room that once used to be her brothers.<br><br>One downside to cleaning your fur, was that the drying was a bitch and wrapped in the bathrobe, tightly snuggled around her frame, she went into the kitchen area, opening the refridgerator and checking what was there. She recovered some leftovers, which smelled alright, so she ate them straight away, and then liberated the large tub of icecream from the freezer, and sat on the kitchen counter with a sly grin.<br><br>A shadowy tentacle moved to the alarm system and turned it back on. She hoped these humans weren't going to be too upset at being awoken in the middle of the night by alarms that almost made her ears hurt, but the icecream made up for a lot.

I wasn't around that day, I was running ... an errand yes, when I saw the smoke from the monestary. When I returned I found them performing the ritual. The same ritual they are performing now.

Going to see my brother and his friends." she said still as calm as always, "Only to find they were all dead, and the Shadow Cultists having followed me here, or actually having been here already.

				"Alright, are we all here ? This is the situation. I traced the ritual to roughly the city called Neo-Tokyo. Kar'Kadras is both the embodiment of shadow as well as that which lurks in shadows.

It would use all the darkness that is in my own heart and mind and leash out against the world. Imagine someone who <strong>wants</strong> this ?

A powerful Super with powers over tectonic shifts devastated the city thirty years ago, and when it was being rebuilt the super villain Lady Shogun grabbed control of the city at the head of a vast criminal organization.

				The portal was created by pushing a two-dimensional shadow into the three dimensional realm, a slightly unnerving sight. "Do not touch anything. Stay on the path, and go to the exit." Shadu said looking at them intent with her green eyes. Through the black of the portal there was indeed a path; a white sandlike substance, and an exit; a bright view of the sky. The path was not straight, or even long. There was the sensation of being watched, and that the concepts of straight and long were really not that accurate here. But a few ... steps ... later they arrived on the rooftop, halfway around the world in the shadow of the surprised woman.<br><br>Shadu was grinning on the other side, currently keeping the avatar on a very tight leash, and her tail swooshed as she waited for her companions to reorient themselves from the journey, her head cocked slightly as she glanced at the woman.<br><br><br><br>

				The fight at Neo-Tokyo had left the Vanguard with a much needed victory after their run-in with Pantheon, and the loss at the military facility which cost them Valkyrie. The Shadow Scorpion was defeated, his Earthen cult shattered and the threat of releasing the First Shadow, Kar'Kadras was temporarily gone. Though Lady Shogun had been less than pleased with the very public victory of heroes in her city, and according to their sources she was looking for a way back at the Vanguard. However, in Omegatropolis the heroes are celebrated, and the legal action against them dropped as the company taking the action had been bought up by Nicolas Xanthium, owner of the world's largest corporate conglomerate and Mr Xanthium expressed to the media that such trivialities were beneath the attention of the world's greatest heroes. <br>Now supported by two new members, and with the villains of the city in a state of surprising disarray the Vanguard enjoy several victories in the months to come, with only the loss of their friend Valkyrie marring the cheerfulness. <br>For Barb, the addition of a protege in the young villain/turned very reluctant hero Risa takes up much of her spare time, testing her legendary patience to the max. Shadu find her reputation as the Teleporting Terror spreading like wildfire once she joins up with the Vanguard, with street level crime dropping once it is rumored she is out at night. Carmen, as the second new member of the team gets a lot of media fancy as her fire power makes it easy to make star-related comparisons. Arina, last but not least finds herself as the second senior member of the Vanguard, and in-officially the team face to the outside world as her youth coupled with her heroic regalia makes for a modern re-imagining of King Arthur.<br><br>Now, as spring gives way to summer the group finds things picking up speed, as the villain RavenHeart is attacking a corporate research site, the Villain/Notorious Failure The Mobster is trying his best at bank robbery again, and a spaceship has been sighted heading towards Earth, and it is estimated it will land in the central park of Omegatropolis. All in all, break is over and class is back in session.<br><br>To Jennifer Whitmore, aka Timestop, long-time citizen of Omegatropolis the time had come to step out of the shadows and into the light. The pull of destinies difficult to ignore for one as in tune to time and the mystical ways as her, and it tugged at her very being this day. Before the young woman, the central park looms. A testament to the rebuilding of the cities that had become one after the Great War, the lush green oasis in the city usually the very image of serene peace...But today, people are milling about restlessly, unaware that a starship is hurtling towards the park.<br><br>Aboard the starship, a it's passenger glimpse a city that seems very much like it always has seemed; fragile peace with the wear and tear nipping at the edges. So very unlike the great spire cities of the Empire, and it's people not at all like the cheering crowds of the Arena.<br><br>

This ending was followed by a broad smile, and she did look the part of the missing New Vanguard member. <br><br>She scanned the area, but her gaze kept being drawn back to a certain spot.

Aegis began to say to herself, stopping mid-sentence when she recognized the woman stepping off the ship.&nbsp; Her eyes went wide, a sudden lump forming in her throat as Valkyrie turned to wave at her.&nbsp; "V-valkyrie?" she stammered as she began to walk towards her friend, her mind in a haze of emotion as she stumbled around the crowd.&nbsp; Her sword and shield vanished as she broke forward into a run, just barely able to keep herself from tackling the woman as she gave Valkyire a tight hug.&nbsp; "Wh-what happened to you?" she managed to say, choking back a few tears.

				Arianna nodded to Jennifer's suggestion.&nbsp; "Yeah, let's head somewhere quiet.&nbsp; Do you mind driving?&nbsp; I just took my bike, wasn't planning on having passengers with," she explained with a sheepish grin.&nbsp; She nodded to Val, with a slight nod of her head towards the new girl, a motion she hoped would convey that she thought they should try to keep an eye on Jennifer.&nbsp; She wanted to trust her, everything about what she was saying made it sound like she would be an ally, but that didn't mean lowering her guard completely.

				Arianna looked around the warehouse for a few moments, ensuring that nothing was out of the ordinary - the last thing they needed was for someone to be spying on what they were assuming was a safe, private location.&nbsp; "Yeah... Looks like nothing's been disturbed since we were here last.&nbsp; We should have all the privacy we need."&nbsp; Turning to the new girl, she gave her a nod.&nbsp; "So... It sounds like you're more interested in us than just someone who watches the daily news.&nbsp; Mind telling us a bit about yourself?"&nbsp; Her tone wasn't accusatory at all, more like she was curious, but she wasn't going to relax her guard until she was sure this girl wouldn't suddenly turn into a threat.

Casually, or rather as casually as she could, and eventually she had ended up by the pantry and returned with something to eat. In this case a package of large chocolate chip cookies. The very same cookies that she had tried to explain to an alien chef how to prepare in hopes of getting some freshly...lack of some ingredients had been a hindrance. <br>&nbsp;

				<strong>"First, no orbital bombardments. They'll not use armies either, rather small groups or single champions. However, single champions is a bit misleading here..As those might be what's popularly called Mish'weei...Citybreakers. They're monsters created by using the Ascension Device on a Wyrdling far beyond safe levels...What happens, is that you get a rage-filled beast a couple of hundred feel tall that likes to make sweet snuggles with buildings and shrugs off heavy weapon's fire like it's foul language. Though, here is the neat little catch...For you anyway. You can challenge them to combat. So if you want to draw a big one from a population center, you can do that. However, that ritualized battle code doesn't mean they'll be stupid. So while you could challenge one of theirs one on one, they'll have the right to refuse if it is your entire group against one. They also in cases like this have to communicate their intentions beforehand...So there will be no sneak attacks." </strong><br><br>He looks over at Val, grinning.<br><em>"Ah, so that is one of the sweet snacks you wanted.

				Tarot at his friend took their leave once the discussion was over, the old man stopping by&nbsp; Val before they vanished and gave the woman a gentle smile.<br>"You'd do your mother proud, Valkyrie."<br>Though Val isn't given much time to think about that as when Fenris arrives home...She's caught in a hug that will last hours unless she distangles herself from her dad.<br><br>In the coming days the group finds out just how much of a cat-herding their chosen task is as heroes and villains are difficult to find and even more difficult to persuade. The more powerful heroes often had their domains where they fought and tended not to leave those. Though after a week, the Vanguard has gathered about a dozen new recruits for their plan. From Neo-Tokyo, Lady Shogun, the most powerful villain of that city before being deposed in the days after their fight against the Shadow Scorpion there. From Greece; Obsidian. A up and promising hero who could change her form into a powerful rock and had super-strength. From Omegatropolis, Blitz the street-level hero and teleporter, and girlfriend of Detective Liam. Obakemono and Same-Bito...Fanboys of Valkyrie and two good-hearted brawlers with superstrength. Risa, aka Hammerdown...Sin's daughter and student under Barbara. From the Russian People's Commune; Sickle, friendly and flying superwoman with&nbsp; a cheerful attitude and a bit too little in the common sense department. From Japan comes Foxfire, a shapeshifting villain who Jennifer had encountered a few times in her past and who wields magic. South America provides Quezatla, the divine serpent. A powerful neutral who has held much of that continent safe for centuries. From the skies of England comes Peregrin, a brash heroine eager to prove herself. Africa supplies the group with Sol and Maelstorm, a master of plasma and weather controller respectively. Lastly, as the thirteenth member...Comes Sin herself. The villainess having met Valkyrie at the door to her lair with the words. "Of course I'll help you darlin'."<br>So the HQ is rather crowded, bu even with all their new friends...Will it be enough to turn the tide against the Emperor and his forces?
