Vol Kana (ID: 11074 aka AJ Slade) Multiverse Prime
Prolog:
I have an older sister (really my first cousin). It’s up to “Dark Mourning” to tell you that story.
As a child I spend before and after school with my Nana and Pop Pop. One day Pop Pop said "Let's build something. You got any ideas?". I replied "A volcano." When it was time to make the volcano to erupt, I mixed red paint with the baking soda and vinegar to make red lava.
Later I became a volcanologist. I traveled world-wide to study volcanos. My team and I were at Kilauea when we became trapped by a lava flow caused by Firebrand. The latent power of the Morphons and the high levels of adrenaline gave me the power to dispatch Firebrand and to save my team. I adopted the name “Vol Kana”.
My red hair assuredly confirms my quick to anger nature. Some say that age has NOT mellowed me at all. My reply “That’s good!”
Into the Rift:
Recently "Dark Mouning" hounded me to visit a parallel world. I went looking for the rift but couldn’t find it. Then one day doing laundry, a swirling vortex appeared in my washer. It sucked me in and dumped me out in my other self’s world.
Alpha “Vol Kana” and I have a lot in common (I’m calling her Alpha). Mainly, we read our father’s Silver Age Marvel comics as pre-teens and had a heavy crush on Johnny Storm. We obtained our powers the same way. While she didn’t have an older sister, but does have a close relationship with her cousin “Four Ever”.
Since I was late to the party, Alpha and I had a lot of catching up to do. Since this would be a short-term assignment, we set many goals knowing that some would not be attained. Gathering Hatoraide and More-Fun Bars were high on our list. We set our sights on making the 15,000-fight goal to collect those MPs. We would buy only Elemental gear. Extra powers were scrounged from every Fight Club and special KOTM events that we entered. Doing Missions, Patrols, and the Atlas events were vital to garner additional rewards. Harvesting Crystals should be a daily ritual. “BOR-RING!” remarks Alpha.
“Dark Mouring” and “Four Ever” shared some of their mistakes which Alpha and I avoided. We joined the Multiverse Freaks League which took the Silver Medal in the League War.
I had things to do back in Prime, like the Olympics. Alpha kept things going in her world. Her Atlas stats astounded me with 6 Golds, 1 Silver, and 1 Bronze.
It was time to prepare for the Boss Raid and the concurrent Explosion Days weekend. We purposely conserved our resources during the last Atlas event. We bought extra fights and energy in the BADGE Shop. We also bought some XP boosts as we wanted to level up quickly to get the most Multiverse Points possible. Our goal was 175.
Prior to the Saturday 11 am start time of the Raid, we used our limit of fights and Stimpacks to get the most out of our level-up effort. Just prior to 11 am, the XP and energy boosts were engaged. As we leveled up, we applied the skill points to energy. Progress was slow toward our points goal.
“Four Ever” deliberated with us and it was decided that Sunday morning we would respec our skills and put everything into energy. With the extra MPs from leveling up we would spend 5 MPs to refill energy as needed. We replenished any boosts from the Shop. When the Raid ended on Monday, we did 780,576 damage on 2443 hits.
With our points just shy of 250, and there was plenty of time to continue to level up. Using the same strategy as the Boss Raid, we started doing raids. We began applying our skill points to attack, defense, movement, and life. By Tuesday morning, we were exhausted, with most of our consumables used up, we had 287 points. The 13 points to 300 looked tempting but I had this story to write.
I had a good time with Alpha, and she allowed me to take back some nice goodies. Maybe we’ll meet again.
The combat and gear effects should come to Prime. The Flash Sales were a little annoying at first, but I found if I kept some cash, crystals and MPs in reserve, it was useful to do some ad-hoc buying and powering up.
