Rapturous Rhapsody

Would you take the Deal? Live your wildest fantasies at the cost of orchestrating the most significant prison break ever conceived? Spanning six worlds, millions of years, and more violence than you can shake a stick at. Everyone wants Freedom. Everyone. So... Sign here. No hard feelings. Just Company Policy. (WC/Soulsborne/Superheroes, shaken not stirred, with a twist of madness) Completed! Occasional Side Stories and omakes will come as I please. Ps: Since this seems to be a sticking point for people, here is the official warning. This fic contains Yuri (F/F) relations. It is not a main focus of this fic (it is marked as a harem after all) but it is present. Some of the women are canonically bisexual and part of the reason I write is to get better at characterization. I hope this helps.

Posted On Sep 21st 2018:

So I was doing my thing tonight, you know, watching for alien warships (we know they're out there people!) and I caught this.

*Image*

It's pretty far out, but does anyone know what it is? It looks like a giant dragon and, as I'm writing this it is getting closer. Is anyone else seeing this? For reference, I live on a pacific island (I'm not telling you where) It's close to Mars, on the side of Sagitarrius, directly south of Aquila if you want to take a look.

*Edit: Here is a better picture. I think that is the JL? It's pretty blurry but it looks like they're fighting it. *Image*

*Edit: Damn that thing is huge. Definitely a dragon. New Alien species? *Image*

*Edit: Holy fuck! Holy Shit! This is not a joke. I repeat; THIS IS NOT A JOKE! I lost sight of the Dragon when it turned and flew over the horizon towards the west coast of the US. The JL was definitely trying to fight it but it just ignored them. *Image* Anyway, I asked @Lighthose in Nova Scotia to keep an eye out for it since it was heading his way.

He has access to one of Parker Enterprises' super new telescopes so he caught THIS: *Video*

That dragon just ate the Simurgh.

I repeat: IT ATE THE FUCKING SIMURGH!

WHAT THE FUCK!

I mean, she could be faking it. This is the Simurgh after all. But I don't see why she would. The Endbringers react to people disturbing their 'rest' with extreme prejudice. If she was still alive, wouldn't she bust out of his stomach? That she hasn't means its a long con, she's dead or trapped in there.

I don't know which is scarier, to be honest.

@Xamanic I know. I was just saying that there are a lot more victims of the Simurgh than just those who were at Dehli, Madison, or Star City. I live on the other side of the world but I would still count as one. My uncle killed himself and that messed my mom up. I think everyone has a story like that. Even if you weren't in one of the cities attacked, you are connected in some way.

►Savehalf

Replied On Sep 22nd 2018:

I heard everyone is connected by 6 degrees (don't quote me) to everyone else.

With Ziz, I think it's closer to 3. Just from my experience, I have never met anyone who wasn't messed up in some way by her. Friends, Family, Favorite Heroes, the concept of free will itself, she took everything from us.

I've been accused of being a Ziz bomb six times. It's only been a year and a half and I live in Japan. It doesn't make any fucking sense, but she took the trust humanity had in each other and broke it over her knee.

Looks like we have a new duo in town.

Does anyone know who they are? They aren't in costume like regular Supes so they might have been on downtime. The tall blonde is a clear telekinetic but the shorted one, with the pointy ears, is probably a Mover of some sort. Maybe limited to shadows?

Anyway, wanted to know if anyone had seen them before.

@Chilldrizzle The costume is important. Not only is it cool but it also is a quick way to separate a Super from a civilian in a crisis.

Replied On Oct 11th 2018:

@Pedantics I'm not saying costumes aren't cool. (Looks at poster of Captain Marvel in her black/gold leotard) I just wanted to point out that most Supes are more concerned with the facade. Only a few will fight without the mask. There's a reason for it of course, look what happened to New Wave, but I think its refreshing to see some new heroines willing to do the work without the disguise.

That the blonde repaired the damage gives them huge brownie points in my book.

For those who don't know me, I am a mutant. My ability is simple. I can access any observation equipment remotely. It also allows me to post here without fear of being taken down.

I have been a member of this forum for the last 15 years. I have made numerous 'leaks' because I believe the public deserves to know what the powers-that-be want to hide.

I am staking my entire reputation on this video. I have quadruple-checked its authenticity, verified it through secondary sources, and called in a bunch of favours from sources in the PRT *who shall remain anonymous* to be on the safe side.

What you are about to watch is the truth. It is a video captured by PRT hidden cameras in the early morning hours of October 17th at the New Wave Memorial in Panacea Park. It is completely unedited, except for the fact that multiple cameras caught different angles.

*Video*

It is a long video, containing multiple important topics. I will make threads for those I think are most concerning.

Edit: Here are the links: The Red Queen Lives? Glory Girl back from the Dead? X-men rehabilitation?

I would ask the Moderators to make a separate Board for everything related to Mikael (The White Dragon).

Edit: They did, it is already filling up. I posted a few threads on the more important topics: Known Consorts, Known Powers, Blood, and Motivations.

You clearly haven't watched the whole video. Panacea being alive is the least surprising thing in it. The League always tried to prioritize capture rather than killing. The fact that they covered up her survival is no surprise. Bringing someone dead for years back to life is the part you should really be concerned about.

Incidentally, I am officially starting a new religion. Our doctrine is sexual liberation. Our god is breasts, buts, and thighs (dicks too if you are into that). Our afterlife is a neverending orgy, filled with the most attractive people imaginable. Mikael and his consorts are our pope and cardinals.

In all seriousness, what does this mean for us? Like, what does Mikael want? Professor X said he had a Goddess as his Herald (Like Galactus?) so is he some sort of god, like Thor? Why was he a tiny squid baby? Why did he want a human body? He's supposedly been to earth before, so he probably won't destroy the planet. Who's he here to meet? Another 'consort'?

And most importantly: Did he just quote Robin Williams?

Mikael seems like a nice guy.

Even if we think Glory Girl is biased (or mastered, don't have proof one way or the other) everything in that video showed him as remarkably human. He showed concern for Panacea when she freaked out by touching the blood, even willing to put off getting a body to make sure she wasn't in danger. When the blonde, Artoria, was being all intense, he showed enough empathy to catch on. These are not the typical traits of villains. I don't know if he is a hero, he clearly sicced that redhead on Wolverine because she was bored, but he will heal so it isn't too bad.

Does anyone know who the other women are? I am familiar with Medea and Scathach from myth (my useless minor in mythologies finally came in handy) but the other names are unknown. They look pretty human, but they might be aliens or from different worlds like Prof X said. Just want to know if I am missing something obvious.

We only got three names out of ten (Five if you count Glynda from that video in New York. Link. Raven is the one with long ears in the video in New York, she's an umbrakentic and the one who sealed off the park. She is not visible in this one.)

Artoria: The annoyed blonde who pushed the wheelchair. She had a British accent and called the Dragon Sir Mikael so possibly European from the middle ages?

Robin: The name is also European and she looks Russian, maybe? She didn't have an accent I could identify.

Ranni: The Goddess that supposedly fought the League to a standstill. She did no show up here.

Unnamed blonde woman: The one in green who pulled the barrels of blood out of a scroll of paper.

Unnamed Changer/mover: The black woman who turned into a cat and flew off.

Prof. X specifically said that the 'Elden Lord' destroyed or conquered other worlds. Early in the video, he mentions two; Bloodborne and Elden Ring. (The latter is probably where he got the title) Why aren't people more worried about this?

►Char

Replied On Oct 17th 2018:

@Notparanoid Because there is nothing we can do about it?

The League couldn't do anything to it in space, what makes you think they can fight it in-atmosphere? If the dragon the size of a continent sneezes it will sink the eastern seaboard. If it wanted to destroy the planet for all life, all it would need to do is move half as fast as it did when it ate the Ziz. Its mass and velocity alone would shatter the planet.

All we can do is the same as we've been doing for years. Go about your daily life, try not to think about it too much, hope for the best, and pray the good guys win. All that has changed is we know prayer might actually mean something now.

Pardon any formatting errors; I tried my best. Most spelling errors are intentional, though.

I had to make a judgment call with this one. It would be incredibly easy to write 10K words about Emancipation 3 alone as it is incredibly dense with things the internet would lap up. (Amy being alive, bringing people back from the dead, power speculation etc...) I am sure some of you are disappointed that I didn't go super in-depth.

While I like PHO interludes, they are best treated lightly. They serve as a way for the audience to touch base with the rest of the world in a fic and see how they react to the MC and the plot. Too often, they act as word padding or self-congratulations for the MC and the writer.

Since the 'World' is as much a character in this fic as any of the cast, I don't need to go super in-depth with PHO. Ideally, how the world reacts comes across more organically during the main story. Because of that, I limited myself to 4k words *Realizes the 'limit' is the size of an early chapter and bangs head on desk.*

I will probably only do one or two more PHO Side Stories for the entirety of this fic, so don't expect it to come up too much.

I will see you all next time for Emancipation 4.
