To Infinity And Beyond!

Commerce City, glorious American beacon of business and model metropolis for the world, is under the constant threat of supervillains. The police are either too helpless, incompetent, or smart to oppose the dastardly madmen (and madwomen) that would unleash havoc on the lives of the millions of commuters that call the city their home. Are there any heroes that will heed the call and defend Commerce City for free.

Billiards pulls himself to his feet, and looks at Boozehound..." Sorry, sorry, that wasn't nice of me. Guess we better call you something else huh? What about... Bravehound?" He shakes his head and stows his weapons away. "Ooop there goes Quiznos (just like the local store on my street, gone before you realize it)." He takes off after the Green Table.

Dumbstruck Charade listens to the reformed Boozehound. "I am good!" she thinks, "Wow, I should have done that a long time ago!" Quizno leads the others while she devises a plan to help the Spark, tagging along she tugs on his sleeve and smiles. She uses her hand to indicate he hold still and then proceeds to wrap an invisible dressing around his wrist....

The Spark stands still and stretches out his arm, presenting his hand as if the Sorceress should kiss it formally. He looks puzzled.

Billiards moves along the others, not paying much attention to the kissing going on between Spark and Charade, he's decided the woman is too much trouble. No doubt she would try and "Cure" him of his late night billiards games, and his own boozing and cigar smoking. "Come on everyone, when you are finished healing Spark, we need to hurry."

The healing spell washes over The Spark, but it seems to have to effect on his bruised and scraped body. Charade writes it off as another failure but after a second the Spark feels sober again. At least it did that much.

The Spark decent enough for now (within the context of having screwy powers on a perilous world), they venture off towards the Green Table encampment. Hq's bizarre fauna is rather bizarre, which is pretty obvious.

One clearing has an entire flock of little pink birds with hooked black beaks standing on one leg. Wait no...they only have one leg. "Those are Hiasens," says Quizno. "Ah, to see them flying in the light of second summer when the eight suns are all above horizon." A tiny retcon, no larger than a dog, bounds out and begins zapping a few hiasens into nothingness. Apparently the baby monsters don't require plotlines more in depth than that of a bird.

Quizno sighs. "Do not think ill of our world, we leave it savage by choice to not disrupt the natural order. Nature is quite pacified on our island."

"how Incredibly fascinating... I believe that the dichotomy of your world is refreshing compared to the rush of humanity on earth"

The Spark suddenly growls and lunges at Billiards Boy, choking the super ball striker with his grubby electrician's hands! His eyes are wide and insane. Billiards Boy can't breathe!

"Kill! Friends!" he cackles.
"Oh no, looks like the trap is sprung. They've got Spark good and hypnotized," says Charade's dad.

"We'd better start casting the transport spell..." her mother warns.

Brave hound raises his hand with a smile and performs a light karate chop to the back of the sparks neck, between the 6th and 7th vertebrae

The Spark growls angrily as he hears Bravehound approach. He lets BB go and turns around and holds out his hands, trying to strike the Hound with deadly electric force.

*GACK*

Billiards is taken totally unawares as The SPark grabs him and chokes him! The young man staggers forward when he's let go. Still unable to curse at the HOTSTUFFer, he spits and coughs tring to get his breath back.

Then he unhooks his mystical Triangle from his belt and tosses at Spark, "...what... hack-choke-cough ...the... choke-cough-hack ...frack!" He tosses the triangle at Spark's out streched hands, the magical lassoing effect of the triangle may beable to subdue the man, if Billiard's aim is good enough.
