Call me Eurostar, should I remember you every time?
Let’s take a look at the The Citadel, Edge Island
The Meeting Room in the Citadel, the MBL Headquarter, minutes after minutes sees new metahumans arriving. Eighty years old members of the All Ass Squadron, like DocFranta, slightly younger ex-Smart Ass Squadron members of the junior branch of that World War group, like Squire Speedy the Fin Head and JSA-Jim, rejected applicant to the MBL, like “the Heavy”, villains that opposes the MBL many time, like Thorax, the nemesis of Joker1, or like Master X, that was in the last incarnation of the Injustice Board Gang, even heroes from the future, as Dev Em, a Legionnaire just arrived with the Changeling. Janet, the MBL receptionist, and Bombshell, the android in charge of the infirmary, are busy handling everyone a MBL communicator.
Gooz, while planning the attack to the TIAMAT building with the angel, can’t stop to feel the mix of emotions rising from the crowd. Not that him had any telepathic power, but somehow the feelings of each being in the room can reach him. Most of the persons are proud to be in the building that represent for the whole world the role of the heroes in preserving the peace from the outside forces that menaces the planet. Many others, villains, or professional metahumans that usually do the job fro money and not for superior ideals, are busy trying to record in their minds the features of the fortress, that maybe one day, if the world will survive, they will try to intrude.
But suddenly, all what Gooz, still talking to the Changeling, feels, is lust. From every person present in the place, minus only the angel itself, a big push of adrenaline hits the leader of the MBL.
He, without turning his head, fix the Changeling in the eyes, and says: “She’s here, I presume”.
The eyes of the angel focus behind the head of Gooz, to the main entrance of the Meeting Room.
“You called her?” wonder the Changeling.
“I called everyone. I called Hammer, I called Doktor Klone, I called MstryLeaguer. They didn’t respond. She has.”
“I don’t know if it was a good idea”.
“We have to live with it”.
Gooz turns, to see the crowd dividing into two large group, to allow a narrow corridor open between him and the door. At the door, a young and beautiful girl smiles to the MBL leader.
Tall, with a big mass of curly raven black hairs, amber skin, eyes green like the Aegean sea. Her dress consist only of a pair of old and ripped blue jeans, and many necklaces, of pearls, pieces of red coral, shiny green and blue rocks.
“Thank you for calling me, finally” says the girl, looking Gooz in the eyes.
“Well, I tough you would have say something like now that you are shorthanded, finally you think I am useful or anything along the line”.
“I don’t know why since our first meeting you have to behave with me in this unpleasant manner. But I am really grateful for calling me. I hope to be useful and to fit among you. Nothing else”.
Gooz observes the young lady. “Maybe apologies are due. But now we have not time, we ‘ll talk at the end of the battle, if we’ll be alive then”. The eyes of the leader of the MBL goes down the body of the girl. “Nice new outfit, Mighty Aphrodite. You know that from now, this adventure will have a Mature Readers label?”
The Greek young woman smiles: “Yeah, I know, but since I think few child are calm enough to actually read things on the internet, I think there shouldn’t be any problem”.
“We’ll see. In the meantime, can you stop to use your powers over the crowd?”
“But, Gooz, I am not using my powers. They are only staring at me!” she says, smiling mellifluously.
Another Hyperboard
“Nowhereman, stop” shouts Hourlyquinn, appearing in the Throne Room of the Castle of Doctor Chaos:
Disco Steve freeze with the sword still raised above Doctor Chaos head.
“Joker2! Hourly!” exclaims Disco Steve. “You… you are alive!”
“But… your face… Nowhereman should have been older!” says Eurostar, looking at the face of Disco Steve!
“Parazuma! I’m really Disco Steve. I trained Joker2 and Hourly, to defeat Doctor Chaos… and now the time has arrived!”
Joker2 and Hourly shouts at the same time: “No! You can’t… there is Mr. Mxyptlyk trapped inside the body of Doctor Chaos!”
The future Disco Steve smiles and says: “I know! And I’ll kill him!”
On yet another Hyperboard…
Doctor Quantum shouts at the assembled MBL: “The Flying Saucers of Emperor Moon are attacking Kyoto. Quick… to the MBL Mobile Suits!”
At the order, each member of the team runs toward an hole in the floor, jump in it, and then falls along a long, twisted tube, that ends into the Command center of every Mobile Suit.
The voice of Doctor Quantum shouts from the Intercom: "MBL Mobile Suits…GO!”
