Plans are for weaklings

by Bronze Tempest

I don't think I want that orange ooze to come together so I jump up high and land hard. The ooze seems to be shaken not stirred, but then it snaps together and is an exact duplicate of me - only red. I am facing a Red Tempest that probably is just as strong, just as mean, and just as angry as I am. Okay, maybe more angry since she is red after all. She immediately takes a punch at me and it feels like a plane landed on me. I shrug it off - or at least try to appear as if I do. I then fire a punch right back at her. She just smiles. I glance around and spot a metal pole with concrete filing and grab it out of the ground and aim for the cheap seats with her head as the ball. I slam into her little pointy head with all my might and suddenly her head is a clay ooze which looks like a wet Sahara which is very weird. She comes at me with her arm raised to punch me again and I know that the best thing I can do is put this cranky toddler to sleep. I feel the wind from her punch as I swing around and grab her in a sleeper hold. Now to hold on for the 10 seconds it will take for her to pass out. Let's just hope that it will only take 10 seconds since she is super.
 
She starts a titanic struggle to get out of my grip, but I hold on for dear life. Then she slumps in my grip and I know that she is out for the count. I lay her gently to the ground and do a quick visual inspection and find that she is really and truly made of clay. There is no internal structure at all, nor is there any suggestion that the nanites are being used like they are in the omni drones. Now the question is - if this is part of Overmind's plot, then what is he trying to do with this. I am convinced at this point, that he is responsible for the attack on me that caused this orange whatever that has happened to me. I know that Overmind is incapable of original thought and just copies whatever he sees like an enthusiastic three-year-old.

The major events and journals in Bronze Tempest's history, from the beginning to today.

Me? A Hero?

I land in the middle of a battle and see on the far side of the fight a guy with an orange canister just like what I remember being tossed at me. I have to get to him! I jump over the rabble in front of me and get to the guy with a canister. I pick him u...

A minor incident

I am sitting having a nice cup of coffee with Kim in front of the hospital to check and see if they have discovered anything about the ooze. She said they were having trouble getting anywhere beyond it was plant-based so they brought in a specialist, a Dr...

Crossword puzzles for fun and relaxation

I enter Little Louie's coffee shop and pizzeria and hope to see someone from that Knight's Vigilant group. I go ahead and enter after checking people coming and going for a while and I think I see someone I recognize. I walk over and introduce myself and...

04:45 am - 03.10.2020

Museum Hi-jinks

We rush in to see Moon Knight get shot in the back by some sort of energy blast! I change and jump over to hit the one that shot Moon Knight and use my jump momentum to land a (hopefully) devastating blow. The metal gives at my punch and I feel a brief m...

04:19 am - 17.10.2020

The Tentacle Problem

I see Moon Knight being carried away and yell for Sahara as we both run down the corridor and then up the hallway to the guards carrying him. I reach for the two guards in order to knock their heads together while Sahara flies (slithers/cascades/whatever!...

03:41 am - 31.10.2020

Tunnels and Green Houses

We go to Apothocary Fu's and all sorts of people are meeting there - I get to meet Tesla Coil. Then we have an interesting and lively discussion about pizza night. I just hang back and watch as they go here and there and it is obvious that they conside...

05:26 am - 14.11.2020

The Swan Flail

I glance from my current situation and decide to take out one of the bigger threats. I gather all of my power and jump over to one of the omni drones, pick it up, and toss it through the wall into the water surrounding us. When I recover from my toss and...

04:28 am - 15.05.2021

Taking one for the team

So, we are gathered in the aftermath and try to determine the next steps we need to take. We can see some drones flying above the central park area from the Bow Bridge to the Delacorte Theater. They have orange balloons. Are they just orange balloons? Or...

03:59 am - 12.06.2021

The People's Elbow

I see one of the Gatlin gun drones in front of me and the only thing I can think to do is to jump and land with intent on top of it, hoping to crush it. I land squarely on top of the flat surface and sense that I am being attacked by some of the smaller d...

03:59 am - 26.06.2021

Puny god smash

I have had enough of that droid machine above that keeps firing at me, so I jump up and land on top of it, burrow it into the ground and feel very satisfied. Then I hear that same voice from the harbor. This time he insinuates that he "made" me and that h...

04:27 am - 10.07.2021

Flying Squirrels

I am tired of being beat on by people who have been traumatized the same way I have been. I call out - in equal part agony and hope - for them to please switch sides and let's go beat up that omni drome TOGETHER! They were not impressed. Maybe there was ...
