FAN-FICTION CONTEST August - Origin Story: Ralph

Life hasnt always been fair to old Ralph. I was born to a single mom, she tried her best, but we were in a poor part of town, and never really escaped. We had food and clothes, and most times a roof over our head, so I would say she got us through fairly well. Its hard to know your poor, when its all you know, and dont know no better.

But when I became an adult, suddenly I was thrust out of the protective shell of my home and had to face some cold hard realities really really fast. I took a job as a busboy, cleaning up after people who could afford better meals than I could. Luckily the manager let us have a meal from the kids menu if it wasnt too busy. So I got to eat nuggets and stuff at least once a day.

But that wasn't the life I was fated to live. There was something on the horizon I could never have guessed was coming. It wasnt some grand gesture from a god or super powered being. You would think fate would have made it a bit more... Well, more. But I got what I got, and in the most mundane of ways.

I left work late, like most nights. The dishwasher didn't show, so I had to bus tables and then ended up doing dishes after. As I walked out of the back door, I stopped to get a fresh breath of air. If I had just kept walking, it would have missed me entirely. I can only guess at what it was that hit me from the sky. Dark Matter? Black Hole? Alien Eye Beams...? Dude, I dont really know. But something hit me hard from above, and drove itself right through my body. I felt it hit the top of my head, and pass down through my feet.

I dropped like a rock, then and there. I woke up face down in a puddle and tried to stand. Everything was darker. I could see, but there was a shadowy tint to everything. Rubbing my eyes didnt help. I stumbled out of the back alley and onto the sidewalk next to the restaurant. I hurried home, and just could not shake all the shadowy vision my eyes were seeing.

Once i got home I realized that I wasn't just having my eyes tinted by shadow, I was surrounded by shadows. They moved with me, around me, obeyed my commands. I could wrap myself with their dark cloak and hide away from prying eyes. I could reach out with them and affect the physical world, hitting, grabbing, punching.

I think I might have giggled euphorically at one point.

But then the realization hits and the giggled strangles in your throat. You have powers. What do you do with them? I live day to day, just trying to survive and make enough money to pay my way. I struggle - daily. Maybe... maybe with these shadows I wouldnt have to struggle anymore. I could take what I want, I can do what I want. I can...

I can remember how hard my mom worked to raise me right. She taught me right from wrong, she kept me away from bad elements on the streets. She made sure I was raised better, better than a crook, powers or not.

So no, I would not use these shadows to take what I want. I would use them to stop those who would would prey on others, stop the criminal element that Momma always protected me from. Now it was my turn to protect people too.

And on the plus side? Crooks have cash. Dope pushers carry a lotta cash. Gangs have money. I might not rob from the innocent, but I have no qualms about robbing from the evil I stop on the street.

A man has to survive. And until someone is going to pay me to be a Hero, I will make do with what what I can from the baddies.

Fate shrouded me in shadow. I will use those shadows to move among the criminals. Go where I am not meant to, and see and hear things they dont want me to know. Crime prefers the dark, and now so do I. They will fear the night, fear the unknown. They will jump at shadows and the bumps in the night.

I am a wraith, a phantom. I am Terror.

FAN-FICTION CONTEST AUGUST: ONCE UPON A TIME...

- Ralph Gabriel

Once upon a time, it was a dark and stormy night... The wind beat down hard on the window pane, like the beat down I gave the crook who tried to rob me tonight. I was walking the street, walking my beat, trying to see through the rain and the sleet.

Out of the alley a man in a hood, dressed to the nines, nicer clothes than he should, tried to get the drop on me with a billy club of wood.

I am a hero by trade, so I was ready for action. My fast reflexes gave me plenty of traction. I dodged his first swing, and then doubled around, grabbed for my belt, where I kept my contraptions.

I pulled out my own club and leveled it at him, "You dont want none of this", I said and poked his chest and I was ready to flatten 'em.

I could tell right away he was suddenly aware, I could see he went stiff as he started to stare. My muscles were bigger, my shoulders too broad, and my costume had a certain, "Super Hero Flair".

"No No, man, I dont want no trouble". But trouble he found, and trouble was double. I flicked the club from his hand to the ground. I have a problem with trying to be subtle.

He threw up his hands, backing away fast, but I moved into the alley, following last. He again begged to be left alone but it was too late, it was time to take to task.

I left him there, alone on the ground. No bones were broke, no fractures were found. I didnt want him dead, just a lesson brought 'round.

So I sat back at home, watching the rain. I knew the cretin was probably in pain. I didn't worry too much, I knew he would be fine. Sometimes the club is the best way to explain.

Butcher Shop Gazette: Post League War News!

The “Society of Butchers” has always been willing to take in free players and teach them the ropes of being a Hero. How fitting then that they win there very first Gold with a league that is made up of free and low budget toons. Consisting of brand-new players to Heroes Rising along with some veterans fielding their free mini’s, the motto for this LW for “Free City” was “You need 3 Attack wins to qualify for rewards”. . . Little did they know that they would be the team to break that glass ceiling for SOB. Now with the return of old veterans from SHC and Long time Veterans of HR all coming back together, is this the start of a new era?

Nest of Vipers took Silver fighting against (cough, cough) the odds in D11. Free City took on D10 and in their first ever League War and Won Gold for the first time in SOB history!

ØVɆⱤⱠØⱤĐ Fighting in their first ever LW took Silver in D8.

ＭΞΛＴＬ♢ＣＫΣＲ Fielding a new team, was forced to fight their own in D7, placing 3rd for the Bronze.

Members of Dismember A veteran Team also in D7 took Silver.

Hunter / Killer in D4 took Bronze.

Netting 1 Gold, 3 Silvers and 2 Bronze metals! What will the future hold for the “Society of Butchers”? Is this just the beginning of there rise or the pinnacle. Only Time will tell!

On a special note, congrats and thank you to everyone who fought in League Wars. While there was some controversy, you are the ones who make it all worth it! Thank you for your diligence and effort. We hope to see you all again next League Wars.

League Wars Recap

This LW marks the 14th League Wars in the Heroes Rising game's history. Let's take a look at some of the more competitive Wars though out the 3 Rounds.

In Round 1 we have the league 8/*\D |¥|●●N /*\R¡$¡N6 defeating Tygger’s Freak Show in Division 5 winning by 10 points for a final score of 61 to 51. Also, MacGregors!! league overpowering The King's Gambit, both leagues putting up some high scores.

In Round 2 there was Lothlorien league against The Caffeine Crew. Lothlorien went on to win the war.

In Round 3 The Championship Round. Chaos Theory officially the New Champions of Division 1 successfully won against their rivals ][☣][ WMD - Black Order. WMD had a great run winning a bunch of Division 1 LW's in a row.

Other close score match ups in R3 was 5Th Precinct: Omniversal Guardians winning over † SERAPHIM ANGELS † 55-48, ♆SOB♆ HUNTER /KILLER winning over ☠₵ⱤɆ₳₮ɄⱤɆ₴ Ø₣ ₮ⱧɆ ₦ł₲Ⱨ₮☠ 117-83, ♆SOB♆SOCIETY OF MEMBERS OF DISMEMBERED ♆SOB♆ winning over Freaks of Nature 125-112, Lothlorien winning over Wargar 132-124, ♆SOB♆ ØVɆⱤⱠØⱤĐ winning over MacGregors!! 60-39.

There was some entertaining posts and comments and suggestions at the Heroes Rising Players Group page related to this and future League Wars. Take some time to read those. Perhaps some things will change next time. Basically the rules have been that way since LW1. There is an announcement that Leagues can Register / Sign Up for League Wars, leagues can register on that day or whenever they choose to all the way up to the final hour on the final day of LW sign ups. After a league registers, league members have the option to either Level Up their toons or not. Different leagues and toons use different strategies. Some Level some don't. And another issue is the League War prizes. I agree it most certainly would be good to have nicer prizes considering all the work and money and time that goes into these LW's. The main issue I would like to see changed is having All Divisions having 4 leagues per Division. I've been suggesting this since LW1, I still have hope that one day League Wars will have only 4 leagues in each and every Division. Also, I definitely prefer the regular League Wars a lot better compared to Faction Wars, although Faction Wars was OK, however League Wars will always remain the Top of the Cake for all Events. It is yet to be known if their will be a Chaos Wars in the future.?.

Thank you and Congratulations to everyone who participated in this 14th edition of Heroes Rising League Wars. Stay tuned there will be more action soon with the Halloween season nearing closer. Look forward to the next League Event about or around that time.

POV of a New Player: Gifts (by: Ralph)

PLAYER ID: 35973

I wanted to talk today about something that I think a lot of people, especially us new people, are ignoring - The Gifts section of Heroes Rising. Up along the Home page, in the tabs in the second row, is a "Gifts" link right next to Friends.

This page lets you send a single gift to everyone on your friend list, every single day. But here is the beauty of it, if they are active and also using the gift section, then YOU get a gift back from them also.

Basically, it is like Karma. If you send it out into the world it can come back to you.

So my favorite thing to send out is Large Hatoraides. These give you 4 battles back each time you use one, so it lets me battle more people per day than I could with the 14 you see at the very top.Here is how *I* personally do it, but feel free to work it out how it best works for you:

1. I first click on the item I want to send at the top of the gifts page. This could be the Small More-Fun Bar, the Large More-Fun Bar, the Hatoraide, or the Large Hatoraide. As I said, I like the Large Hatoraide, so we click the picture.

2. A New pop up comes up that shows you a list of all your friends in a scroll window. I always click "Select All". It lets me send a Large Hartoraide to everyone at once. Now they are all Highlighted, so click the red "Send Gifts" button. It will say Gifts sent and hit Close.

3. Now you are back on your Gift page, and you can see there are a bunch of gifts below that have been sent to you! You can click on he red "Accept Gifts" button, and it will accept everything at once.

4. If you wait just a moment, the Accept Gifts button now says "Return All favors". I have already sent all my gifts allowed today, but I like to go ahead and click this anyway... maybe something got forgotten, I don't know, so I like to cover my bases and click it.

5. Once that is done, I always click on the "Gifts" link at the top of the page again, to refresh the whole thing. That will let me know if there are any gifts on a second page I didn't see. Again, just covering my bases here.

OK, you have sent and received all of your gifts for the day, so let's now scroll down tot he very bottom of the page to see some stuff for sale.

There are 6 items for sale down here, mostly using MPs to buy them. The first four are just a repeat of the things you are sending and receiving as gifts. So if you are doing your gifting every day, you will probably not need to buy anymore. And who wants to spend MPs on something free anyway?

The last two items are pretty special. They are called Liquid Learning. The basic one will cost you 10,000 Bux (!) and it will increase your XP gains by 25% for 1 hour. So if you would normally get 100XP a day, you would get 125 XP if you got it all in that one hour time.

The last item is Most Liquid Learning, which really bumps things up and gives you 100% XP gains for 2 hours! So instead of 100 XP, you would have gotten 200XP. NICE! Of course, this only helps you if you are trying to gain levels quickly. If you are taking the slow and easy route, you will hafta Skip these things. And the better XP gains will cost you 45 MPs, and I have better things to spend my MPs on that extra XP.



OK, so that is a quick and easy tutorial on how to use gifts. What was that? You don't HAVE any friends to send gifts to?? Guess what? We are covering that next week on the POV of a New Player.

See you then!

August Fan Fiction Contest: "Once Upon A Time, It Was A Dark and Stormy Night"- A Poem

By Crossroads, ID 11004

Once Upon a Time, It was a Dark and Stormy Night,
These storms began at the dying of the daylight.
So tempestuous it was, that it gave many a fright.
So dark a gloom, it obscured even a hero’s sight.
The storm-wracked violence built, reaching unparalleled height.
The air thrummed as some force performed a wicked rite.
Suddenly the Darkness gave birth to an unholy Wight!
It shuffled and shambled, ignoring the Hurricane’s might,
Coming for vengeance for some imagined slight. Onward, it slowly progressed, It’s eyes shone eerily bright.
Heroes came to defend the innocent and all that was right,
But still it came, unfaltering and relentless, a terrible blight.
Weakness, fatigue, and pestilence afflicted all who beheld this sight.
Like wheat before the scythe, heroes were felled without requite.
Until, at last, this evil menace slowed as it reached its intended site.
Then, through the storm, the monster began to glow a sickly white,
And all who had fallen to its power arose and began to fight.
Whether friend or foe, whether by scratch or bite,
These zombie heroes now fought at the monster’s delight.
Though demoralized, the surviving heroes bravely withstood their plight,
Knowing, as heroes do, that a savior would soon upon yon pinnacle alight.
For that is how the stories always proceed, no matter how trite.
The monster will scream and howl when appears the Champion Knight
And a mighty battle will ensue, and soon the monster will flee, despite
All that its evil can invite.
Its control on the zombies, which was so tight,
Shall be broken and then shall hope ignite!
The wight shall fall from the Champion’s final smite,
And victorious will the Heroes stand upright.
They will look to each other, knowing all was put aright,
Vowing that should this pass again, they would all reunite,
To battle and defeat the wrongs that evil would incite,
To right the wrongs and to the darkness bring light,
So that historians shall record, children recite,
And Authors will embellish as they write,
What happened Once Upon a Time on that Dark and Stormy Night.

The 12: An August Origin Story Part 1

By: 10950

Our planet was deemed a prison planet. Our people sentenced to live out lifetime after lifetime until our sun expanded and engulfed it in the firey sea contained in its gravity. We were immortal, but not in the traditional sense. We didn't live forever, never knowing death. Death came for us all. But we suffered through it countless upon countless times. Each lifetime we were born, struggled, and died, just to be born anew in an endless cycle, until the fateful day would come and the sea of fire would end our days forever. But that was an eternity away, and each lifetime, we would have to remind ourselves again who we were before. In time, this became easier, as technology and the advancements brought about through cultural and scientific advancements made it easier and easier to remember who we were and where we came from, where we wanted to go back to. But this time of the Greater Remembering was cyclical too, for our captors, in their great wisdom, knew that if ever we remembered completely, that we would find the means to break the shackles that bound us to this planet. And so they made our world so that it would shatter each and every time, just when we were close. Just when we had reached the pinnacles we needed to once more reach the stars, to once more escape this Hell we had been sentenced to, their preprogramming of the planet's life cycle would send one natural disaster or another, destroying all we had built and sending us back into the stone age, back into the Great Forgetting. And then we would rebuild again, trying to remember. On and on the Great Cycle would repeat itself as we hurled helplessly towards the Day of Fire. But this time......... This time we had a plan.

Over 100 years ago, our scientists had determined that the next great disaster to reset our civilization would be a great deluge that would most likely wipe out all evidence of our great history and culture. We had worked the entire last century to try and stop the reset, but all efforts to find a solution had failed. If we had just had a few hundred more years, our level of technology would likely have allowed us to escape this disaster, but unfortunately, time was not on our side. So the leaders of our world decided upon a different plan. We couldn't save our civilization, but perhaps we could save the next one, and thereby save ourselves still.

The plan was to gather the best and brightest 12 people and launch them into space where they would orbit the planet in a small space station. They would live in stasis most of the time, while the orbital space station would monitor the planet below. The rest of our population would be shuttled into cities underground, sealed off completely from the outside world. These cities were placed all over the planet and kept separated. This increased the odds that if any of the cities failed for any reason, the chance might still exist with the others to preserve our peoples. Once the planet surface was safe and habitable again, the space station would send a signal to the cities, unlocking them to the outside world once more. It is unknown how many generations this might take. It is expected to be many. After the planet is safe once more, the 12 chosen elite would be released from stasis so that they could begin their mission. They would 1st help facilitate our people's return to the planet's surface, establishing civilization, culture, and laws to govern once more. Afterwards, they would return to their orbital space station and stasis, with one or more occasionally awakening and returning to the planet to teach our descendants about civilization, culture, and science, at a faster rate than we had learned previously. It was our leaders plan that, by doing so, the 12 would advance the next civilization's understanding of science and the cataclysm that was coming, so that when the time came, they would be far enough advanced to do what we could not, escape the next great cataclysm and perhaps even this God forsaken planetary system we were imprisoned in.

I am one of those 12, and this is our story...................

BEE the Man: Season 1 Episode 4: A POST Summer Olympics Origin Story

Frank looked around carefully to make sure no one was around. He was in the Hall Of Heroes again, this time to lift something a bit larger than simply one of Hanzo's gadgets. This time he was here to steal Hanzo's spaceship, the Time Bandit. With the coast clear, he silently slipped inside and made his way to the control panel. After starting the engines, he radioed Mayor Justice.

"CJ, I got it." he said over a comlink.

"That's great!" came the Mayor over the earpiece. "Give me just 15 more minutes. I've almost acquired objective 2. Meet me out by your bedroom window."

"Why am I meeting you there?" asked Frank. "What's my room have to do with this?"

"Nothing, Frank!" answered the Mayor. "Just meet me there. I'll be using your window to make my getaway."

"Um........." replied Frank. "Alright, I guess. See you there in 15 minutes."

15 minutes later..........

Mayor Justice entered the back of the ship dressed in a hazmat suit and carrying a large lead box.

"Stay back, Frank!" he ordered. "This thing is radioactive!"

"WTH WERE YOU IN MY APARTMENT WITH THAT THING FOR THEN????" Frank yelled.

"Where do you think I got it from, Frank?" answered Mayor Justice. "It's your pillow."

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PILLOW????" screamed Frank.

With a grin from ear to ear, and a look of madness in his eyes, the Mayor answered. "I turned it into a bomb, Frank!"

Seeing the look of "WTF????" written on face, the Mayor continued.

"I used 3000 supercharges on it, Frank." he said. "It now has the destructive capability of over 300 nuclear warheads! And with it, we can destroy the menace of these bees once and for all!"

"WAIT!!!! WAIT! Wait!" exclaimed Frank. "You mean to tell me you turned my pillow into a nuclear bomb?"

"Yeah." answered Justice.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???? And WHAT exactly would have happened if I had went to bed and laid my head on it?????"

"Oh, quit losing your head, Frank!" demanded the Mayor. "Look at you! You're fine!"

"ONLY CUZ I SAT AT THE HOSPITAL WATCHING OVER YOU!!!!" screamed Frank.

"See? I saved your life already. Frank, we'll deal with this later. Get us into orbit." Justice said. "We need to use this thing to destroy those bees. We need to be in orbit just over Hero City if this is going to work."

"If what's going to work?" asked Frank. "What are you planning on doing? Are we flying into the main hive and blowing it up?"

"I'm afraid that's not going to be enough, Frank." Justice answered. "We're gonna have to nuke them from space!"

"Wait." Frank paused. "WHAT????"

"It's the only way to save the world, Frank!" Justice said. "They're too entrenched in. If we don't kill them all now, the human race is doomed!"

"How is nuking everyone saving them????" Frank demanded. "If you nuke the planet, everyone's going to die!"

"Yes, Frank," answered the Mayor, "But we'll live!"

"HOW DOES THAT HELP HUMANITY????" screamed Frank. "WITH JUST YOU AND ME, THE WHOLE SPECIES DIES OUT, YOU FOOL!"

"HA, HA!" laughed the Mayor. "I'm way ahead of you, Frank! Not only did I grab your pillow, I went by the lab first and grabbed a few samples of Hanzo's DNA."

"Whelp, this sounds like trouble already." stated Frank. "How is the very thing that got us into this mess in the first place supposed to get us out of it?"

"Simple, Frank." replied Justice. "I'll use it to alter your DNA so that you can spontaneously evolve a vagina, and together we'll bring back the human race!"

"NO!" screamed Frank. "I DON'T WANNA SPONTANEOUSLY EVOLVE A VAGINA!!!!"

"Just push the damn button to drop the nuke, Frank!" yelled the Mayor. "Push the damn button!!!!"

Just then, another voice came in over the pair's comlinks as Frank pushed the Mayor away from the button that would drop the nuclear pillow..

"Anomaly, do you read?" Super Rakly's voice asked over the coms.

"Yeah, Rakly." replied Frank to his superhero name, while still pushing Justice away. "What's up?"

"Where are you?" asked Super Rakly. "We have an emergency down here and both you and Island are AWOL. You're supposed to be at the hospital."

"Um, yeah...... uh......." Frank stalled.

"It's Rakly." he said to Justice.

"I know, it's Rakly." replied Justice. "Ask him what he wants."

"Uhm..... We're just up here monitoring the situation from space. Uh...... Nothing to report here. Uhm......... All's well. Uh......... So, what's up, Rakly?" he asked into his comlink.

"We have some new information on the bees." Rakly said. "It looks like we might know what caused them. We need you and Island to get back here ASAP."

"THEY KNOW IT'S US!!!!" screamed Mayor Justice. "PUSH THE GD BUTTON, FRANK!!!!"

"It seems the bees are genetically enhanced with Fuma Hanzo's DNA." continued Super Rakly. "We're gathering a team to confront him about the situation."

"Yeah!" said Mayor Justice over the comlink. "This has Hanzo's fingerprints written all over it. GD Hanzo! Of course this is his fault! I say we don't even let him know we're coming. Just sneak up on him and BLAMMO! Lights out, mfer! That'll teach him for causing the end of the world as we know it."

"Is that you, Island?" asked Rakly. "Glad to hear you're doing better. Now, the two of you get back down here so we can brief you on what we know and what we're planning to do about it."

"On our way to the briefing for OPERATION: KILL HANZO." the Mayor replied back to Rakly.

"No one's killing anyone." Rakly replied. "We're just going on a fact finding mission."

"I don't know, Rakly." argued Mayor Justice. "I really think we need to just off him without telling him why we're there. You know he's just going to lie through his teeth about his involvement. We can't give him that chance."

"NO ONE'S KILLING ANYONE!!!!" yelled Rakly. "Now get back here, pronto!"

FAN-FICTION CONTEST August | Origin Story: Ⱡł₵Ⱨ QɄɆɆ₦, ₳Ɽ₵Ⱨ M₳₲Ɇ Ø₣ ₮ⱧɆ ฿Ⱡ₳₵₭ MØØ₦

Welcome to the Tower of Queen Morkaz, Arch Mage of the Black Moon, Head Priestess of the order of Black. Otherwise known as the Lich Queen of Black. You may address her as Your Highness or Queen Black. I am the Queen’s servant Harald, what business do you have hear?

Well met Sir Harald, my name is Quinn and I hail from Dublin just across the way. The Towns folk have been mighty nervous ever since you and Queen Black arrived last month, so we voted and being on the short side of the straw, hear I am asking. Just what is your business hear and … (Quinn Paused the think for a moment) … How long to you plan on staying? Don’t get me wrong we don’t want any trouble but ever since you showed up people are complaining that the dead aint staying dead!

Well Quinn, Queen Black is not in the business of answering questions from uninvited guests, but I will let you in on a little secret. You see the Queen just awoke herself. During the last new moon something happened. My Queen found herself awake in her tomb with no flesh on her bones, It’s been 1000-years since last she awoke from her slumber. As far as the dead not staying dead that has nothing to do with us. Yes, my Queen did revive her servants and a few guards but what ever it is your town is experiencing it sounds like the same phenomenon that awoke my Highness. Frightened and rushed Quinn went back to Dublin to report the stunning news! As Harald approached the Queens chamber. Morkaz called out, what did that peasant want Harald? Seems the town is having a problem keeping the dead Highness.

Queen Morkaz looked puzzled for a moment before a grin overtook her. Tapping her boney finger against her teeth where her lips used to be she said, perhaps there is another power at work after all. Still, It would be a waist of me not to take advantage of this opportunity. Looks like there is an army to be raised and a city to be ruled. I wonder is there a power out there that can stop me? A maniacal laugh bersted forth from the Queen of Black as she extended her hand out and cracked her knuckles. We shall see dear Harald, we shall see.

Fan Fiction Contest Aug: BEE, The Man; Season 1: Episode 3: A POST Summer Olympics Origin Story

Player ID: 10950

Crossroads sat on a bench in the locker rooms, a towel hung around her neck as sweat dripped off her onto the floor. The deep, labored breaths echoed the tremendous effort she had put forth. She really thought she could have won it if those dang bee men hadn't gotten in her way. Ice Princess did her a real solid when she froze the two that kept buzzing around her asking her to come away with them. So creepy, she thought. She still couldn't believe one of them actually won. Was they even human, she wondered. Just then, a group of them entered the dressing room.

"BZZZZT! BZZZZZT! BZZZZZZT!"

"Um....... guys," Crossroads addressed them. "This is the women's locker room. You guys aren't supposed to be in here."

"BZZZZT! BZZZZZT! BZZZZZZT!" the bees continued to enter the locker room and surround her. The one that won the Marathon stepped forward. At least, she assumed by the gold medal around his neck that he was the one. She couldn't truly be sure. They all looked alike.

"Oh. You're the one that won." she said, as she quickly searched for an escape. "Congratulations."

The bees started to hover around Crossroads' cooler where she had a few sodas on ice. Trying to be friendly, in hopes of diffusing what was starting to become an uneasy situation, she started handing out what she had.

"You guys want a soda?" she asked. "Here. Take them. There's some different flavors of Coke, and some Mountain Dew, and Dr. Pepper. Go ahead, they're all yours."

Greedily taking the sodas, the bees started buzzing intently.

"BZZZZT! BZZZZZT! BZZZZZZT! SUITABLE! BZZZZZZT! QUEEN! BZZZZZZT!" they buzzed. "SUITABLE QUEEN! BZZZZZT! GIVES GIFTS! BZZZZT! BZZZZZT! BZZZZZZT! HELPS COLONY! BZZZZT! RETURN GIFTS! BZZZZT! BZZZZZT! BZZZZZZT! FINALIZE CONTRACT! BZZZZT! BZZZZZT! BZZZZZZT!"

"BZZZT!" replied the bee man. "BZZZZT! You like? BZZZT! You take!"

The bee man removed the medal from his neck and extended it towards Crossroads.

"Wha?" she said confused. "I can't take your medal. You won that. It's not the same. I don't want the medal. I wanted to win the medal." she tried to explain.

Pushing it back into the bee's hands, he gave it a quick glance before shrugging and tossing it in the trash. Now, completely confused, Crossroads tried to protest before being caught offguard as the bees rushed her. Before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. A wave of dizziness overtook her as her surroundings turned to black.........

1 week later.....................................................................

Mayor Justice slowly blinked himself conscious. He could hear weird blips, but his eyes seemed to have a hard time focusing in what seemed an all white, completely sterile of color environment. Groaning a bit as he rubbed his head, he drew the attention of a man dressed all in black and white sitting next to him.

"CJ!" the man exclaimed. "You're awake!"

"Uhhhh......" groaned Mayor Justice. "Frank? Frank, what happened? Where am I?"

"You're in the hospital." answered Frank. "That mob led by that pink haired woman really did a number on you."

"That pink haired woman?" asked the Mayor. "Everything is a bit confusing and hard to remember, but I distinctly remember before blacking out, getting kicked in the head by a penguin."

"Yeah, you definitely got hit hard on the head." Frank quickly replied behind a smirk. "Definitely no penguins in that mob."

"Are you sure?" Justice asked.

"Positive." replied Frank, with a guilty smirk still written across his face.

Looking around the room, Mayor Justice's eyes came to rest on a News report on the TV. On the screen, a reporter was pointing to some high rise buildings downtown that were swarming with evolved Man-Bees.

"We're Downtown at the corner of Lois Lane and Avenue B, and as you can see, it's only been one week and already the city is being overrun by these creatures. Citizens, the vast majority of which have been women, have come up missing across the city. Early speculation presumes that these missing person cases, along with the sudden presence of these Man-Bees are in some way connected. Countless heroes have done what they can to push back against these creatures and what can only be called an invasion. But with the rapid rate at which their numbers are increasing, we seem to lose more ground than we are gaining. Earlier this week, the Mayor was ruthlessly attacked by militant hippies while trying to quell the outbreak at its start, right across the street from here, in Fires Park, at what experts from the Mayor's office are calling Ground Zero. With the Mayor out of commission until further notice, and the heroes of Hero City seemingly ineffective against this menace, what will become of our city? Who will save us? If this invasion continues to spread, what of our world? This is Chaz Hamilton, signing off and saying, good luck, everyone."

Mayor Justice sat up immediately, the confusion and haziness in his head now clear.

"THAT'S RIGHT!" he exclaimed loudly. "THE BEES! Frank, we gotta get out of here and stop those bees!"

Mayor Justice yanked the IVs out of one arm before holding up the other and staring at it perplexed.

"What the hell is this, Frank?" he asked.

"It's a cast." answered Frank. "You got your arm broke in the attack."

"This isn't going to do, Frank." stated the Mayor. "Find me a saw or something. I can't go saving the world with this thing stuck around my arm."

"I'm pretty sure that's on there to keep your arm in place. Besides, there's no saws in the recovery room. That's surgery." Frank said as he turned just in time to see Mayor Justice smashing his cast to pieces against the wall.

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!" screamed the Mayor. "Frank, I think my arm's broken!"

"That's......... what......... the......... cast........ was......... for.........." Frank said as he stared at Mayor Justice with complete confusion on his face.

"$#!+, Frank. Splint me up. I can't go around saving the world with my arm flopping around like this either." Justice pleaded. "And see if they have any morphine around here. This $#!+ hurts like a mfer!"

Heroes Rising Special Fiction: Mercs for Hire

 Agent Justin and Gar walked toward a BADGE command tent, each holding a restraining pole attached to a vest that was holding Skelanimal like a wild animal.

“Look, I’m not a danger. You can stop doing this to me!” Skelanimal struggled against the restraints.

Justin pulled tight to stop Skelanimal’s jostling. “Nova will decide what to do with you.”

Gar said, “he wanted us to restrain you. Don’t blame us.”

“That big jerk. He thinks he’s all high and mighty and....” just then, Nova walked up. Skelanimal’s tone changed. “Hey, buddy, just talking about you.”

“I heard.” Was all Nova said, which deflated Skelanimal’s attempt at friendliness.

“Look, I was just thirsty, and this liquid looked good and I just, you know, don’t think before I act sometimes. It was an accident. I didn’t mean to go on that rampage. I didn’t do as much damage to the city this time, and...I cannot stress this enough....I was driven nuts by that stuff I drank.”

“Stop babbling. You’re free to go.” Nova waved at Gar and Justin.

“Really?” Gar asked.

“Let him go. We have other problems. Besides, Doctor Henderson said that if he exhibited no more symptoms of the serum for a full hour, it was finished. I’d say the flight was long enough to account for that. Skel...you are to go back to your League HQ and stay there for at least two weeks. Let everyone cool off after that battle. And try not to get into any trouble again.”

“Gotcha.” He was loosened from the restraints and then bolted for the nearest shuttle.

Justin approached Nova. “Sir? What other problems have arisen?”

Nova guided them back to the tent. “I have had word that our field agents working with heroes have located a large stash of leftover World Corps weapons and tech. I need you two to check into it and see that all is confiscated before anyone else gets their hands on it. There are still a lot of those anti-morphon weapons and they’re still an enormous threat.”

“We’re on it.” Justin waved at Gar.

They boarded the nearest shuttle and took off. After a few hours, they landed in an area in Northern Montana. A large, fenced-in compound was in the middle of nowhere, with only one road that had no traffic.

Stepping out of the shuttle a good distance away from the compound, they met Spark from the UCH League. The yellow-haired hero greeted Gar with a handshake. “What’s up, big guy. Long time no see.”

“Spark. Good to see you. Where’s Snow?”

“She’s working with our team leader. Come on.” He walked them over to a small group of heroes and BADGE agents. The leader of the UCH league was an older man in military fatigues.

“This is The General, our leader.”

He gave them a quick nod. “Mister Gar, Agent Justin, good to meet you. We have a situation.”

Justin asked, “have you located the stock of weapons and tech?”

“Yes. And it’s well guarded. We detected just three of the mercs left from the World Corps military guarding that compound. However, upon closer inspection, we discovered they have an entire army under that compound, ready to be unleashed. I sent Spark in to get any intel and he came back with this.” He handed Justin a sheet of paper.

Gar peered over Justin’s shoulder to read the paper. Justin said, “looks like a resume, but for the entire group.”

“Yup. They’re looking for someone else to work for. There are international warrants out on every last merc still alive from the World Corps army. They know this and are looking for someone else just as devious to work for who needs henchmen. And, best of all, they come fully armed with highly advanced tech and weapons.”

“This is bad.” Justin said.

Gar asked, “what do we do?”

The General said, “only one thing. Storm the place. We cannot risk them finding a way to move that stash to another hidden location, or even worse, to the hands of a willing buyer. They are still recovering from the collapse of their organization. As far as we can tell, they aren’t fully ready for open combat. We have to get in there now and pull this apart.”

“Agreed.” Justin clicked on his comm. “Agent Justin to Nova. The situation is a class A emergency. We need as many heroes here now. Tell them to be ready for a fight.”

“Understood.”

POV of a New Player: Patrols

BY: Ralph

PLAYER ID: 35973

So as a newbie player I wanted to learn as much as I could about the game as quickly as I could. Needless to say, I am sure I have made a bunch of mistakes. But I wanted to address the Patrols from the new persons point of view, to maybe give some other new up-and-comers some insight.

The patrols are your primary way to earn cool cards and MPs on a daily basis. Of course, that means you will also be gaining xp and leveling up the more you use it. If you are in the game to gain levels quickly, this will help.

When you start out, you will have access to New Amsterdam. This is the city that you will mainly be working through, and you will want to do the Tour of BADGE first. Even trying the next ones was just too tough as a Level 1-3. But as you get more experience and get more power cards, you will be able to move to the next patrol, Your First Patrol. You can give it a try of course, before you finish the Tour, So go for it.

The next three patrols are much, MUCH harder, and you will need a lot of energy to do them. The first two patrols only use 5 energy each, while the next ones are 8, 7, and 8, respectively.

Super Golf you can start, you wont get to really enjoy it until you get your golf club and first golf ball. You can get that in the Your First Patrol.

During the course of doing a patrol, you will start to earn "Events". Clicking on these events could let you stop a bad guy, do something really spectacular, or even visit the black market. The black market lets you buy things for MPs that you may want to use later. These items might help you with Resistances to certain types of attacks. Pretty nifty.

Be Warned! Your events are only good for 24 hours. After that they disappear and you wasted your Energy.

The rewards for beating an event can be really good, sometimes you get new power cards, bux, crystals, and even MPs. You can even get BADGE Commendations, which you can use to fight "Bosses" that you have beaten while doing patrols. Gain enough Commendations and you can re-fight these bosses for better and better rewards.

Now, something I have heard about and found interesting, is that there is a hidden section called "Missions" UNDER the Missions tab. From what I understand, is that won't appear until you are level 23. I will let you know more about that area after I reach that level. Almost there. Kind of.

So that is Patrols. Give them a run through and see what you think. I like doing them for the story lines. I am working on completing my last New Amsterdam (As well as that darn Golf Patrol) and I have started on Purgatory Penitentiary.

FAN-FICTION CONTEST AUGUST: ONCE UPON A TIME... A TALE FROM URANUS

ID# 12326

Once upon a time, it was a dark and stormy night. In a universe far far away, not unlike this universe, but in a different dimension, there lived a traveler, who was reading a book.

The traveler's name was Frozen Flatulence, and she lived on Titania, one of the moons of Uranus.

On Titania, every night is cold, dark, and stormy.

Frozen liked to travel. She did so by creating a tiny wormhole in the space-time fabric - known also as an Einstein-Rosen Bridge - to get to her desired destination.

That night, as she was reading, a rogue wormhole inadvertently appeared before her. Little did she know that the other end of the wormhole led to a planet called Earth. Not the same Earth as Frozen's solar system, but a different Earth in a parallel universe.

That Earth had the misfortune, at that time, of being invaded by aliens known as The Legion. In preparing the planet's ecosystem to make it habitable for themselves, the aliens saturated the atmosphere with particles called Morphons. Those particles, in turned out, had unintended consequences for other life forms on the planet.

Apparently, it also had unintended consequences for life on Titania.

For at the moment that the rogue wormhole appeared that night, Morphons from Earth slipped through and altered Frozen's biochemistry. The wormhole only lasted a second, but its effect on Frozen was permanent.

She found that she now had the ability to freeze gasses and manipulate them in various ways. She especially liked to freeze methane, which was widely available from Uranus.

With her newly-acquired ability, Frozen traveled the universe freezing villains with her noisome gasses.

One day, she decided to visit Earth through a wormhole.

Unfortunately, the wormhole she was in terminated inside the bowels of a cow.

Unable to get out, Frozen, resorted to desperate measures to get attention from anyone who might be able to save her. She tried to freeze the gasses in the cow but didn't want to hurt it. To make matters worse, the cow was feeling constipated. Frozen was stuck inside for days.

Finally, she had the idea to manipulate the gasses in the cow, causing them to expand and contract rhythmically. By precisely controlling the rhythm of the cow's gaseous emissions, she could send a morse code to whoever was passing by.

It so happened that, at that moment, a stanger called Quark was in the vicinity. Quark and his good friend, Gar, were standing side by side with their arms resting on a wall, pondering over the recent bizarre events and the strangeness of alternate timeliness and parallel universes, when they thought they heard a cow farting in Morse code.

Quark translated the code, recognised the distress call, and quickly teleported into the cow to save Frozen.

Freed from the constipated cow, Frozen thanked Quark, "You are the wings beneath my wind!"

FAN-FICTION CONTEST AUGUST - Crossover - ONCE UPON A TIME, IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT - ORIGIN STORY

Once upon a time, it was a Dark and Stormy night, the ground was shaking from the thunder clasps, lightning was splitting the sky and colliding with the streetlights and buildings all around me! This was no normal storm; I had never seen anything like it before. I could feel the shock waves as the thunder ruptured the air! I could see the electricity crawling down the light poles, the hair on my arms stood up as the strikes one after another came down all around me!

Out of fear, No terror, I ran! I ran so fast my body could not keep up with my feet causing me to stumble and fall. How pathetic, I ran from a storm, and I couldn’t even get away! No stop this I told myself. This is no ordinary storm; you must get out of here and take cover. Gathering my strength, I pulled myself up and started to take off towards an old storm shelter that I knew about from childhood, but I would not get far. In my haste I didn’t realize the pole I was using to pull myself up was the same type of pole the lightning was being drawn to!

When I came to, perhaps it would be more Accurate to say, now half conscience, my ears ringing and body numb. I found myself looking straight up into the sky. I recall thinking this is it. Im going to die and don’t even know why. Flash, Boom, Crackle! I woke up on an operating table, but this was no ordinary hospital! I could hear someone talking but my eyes would not come into focus. My body wracked in pain from the third-degree burns covering me, I just closed my eyes, stayed still and tried to listen. I overheard as the men talked about how Legion had returned to Earth riding some kind of time wave! I calculated that I must not have been targeted after all but simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It seems that I was slipping in and out of consciousness, so my memory is pretty hazy about what happened next, or at least the order of things, but it turns out a band of heroes found me on the street that day as they were responding to the disturbance. They brought me to their league headquarters and treated me in Morphon baths, even wrapping me in Morphon soaked bandages and it worked, I was healed! No scars, no lasting injuries, but there was one major side effect, one that would leave me changed forever.

I think it must be some kind of cosmic joke that I would get this power. Of all the powers that could have manifested, I get this one? I couldn’t even run without tripping over my own feet, and I get Turbo charged speed! If there is a God, we will have to talk about this if ever we are to meet.

Still, I’m alive! Im healed, and now I have this incredible power. I wonder if I will develop more powers. Maybe I can figure out this time wave and use it to return the favor to Legion. Yes, that sounds like a plan, now I wonder, who has the power to control time?

FAN-FICTION CONTEST August | Origin Story: IѦᔕιƚҽ

By: IѦᔕιƚҽ ID: 35982

In the History of the earth there has never been an event quite like the day Legion showed up. No one knew where they were from, only that they came seeking a fight.

It was on this day that the man I used to be died and I become IѦᔕιƚҽ. It was on this day that a power inside me awoke. A third eye opened allowing me to see like never before. I Intuitively knew the answers to life’s mysteries, a higher self-consciousness. The part of us that is all knowing, and the part of us that is only aware of our experiences, emotions and body was now awake!

Now with my third eye open, my old belief systems where instantly demolished. Once those walls shattered, I arrived at the foundation of truth. It was overwhelming, Once I release the fear of “What will happen to me? What will I become aware of? Who will I become?,” I drifted into the field of compassionate contentment that our intuition is always directing us towards. As I surrendered to the Morphons interacting with me, surrendering my control and limited vision of how my life would unfold I arrived at the greater truth of what is. What we are, at the level of existence and non-existence. Wrapping myself in this warm blanket of assurance and ease that all is well.

How Can I explain it to you? Awakening, enlightenment, implosion, explosion, break down, break through, arrival. These are just some ways that I can describe my third eye awakening experience. The truth is, I arrived at a deeper truth than I once was aware of and now I was equipped with the power to fight this Legion. It was now time for me to rise and challenge! Rise and defend all of humankind!
