New Beginning 17: Souls of Intellect

[Philote]

"Tyche? Never heard of her.

So this means you're like Wulf's boss now right "

[Philote]

"Merry Christmas all!"

"I've got presents for everyone. I've ability imbued pieces of a Santa suit to give the wearer the powers of the spirit of Christmas! I've left a present with a set for each of you."

Putting on a Santa hat, I spirit off to Aeon.

"Fire is completely different from luck. On another note, since Philote had presents for all of you, here is my present."

I pull out of my pocket hairclips with butterflies on them and continue, "These hairclips can summon the Lady of Butterflies to help you with illusions when you need the help. Don't overuse them."

I almost forgot..

I reach into my extra-dimensional space.

"Let's see.. We have.. A sword that can cut through anything.." I throw said sword behind me, and it cleaves into the stone below.

"Genie in a lamp" I drop a dingy lamp onto a table.

"Fire amplifying ruby necklace." I place it next to the lamp.

"Eygptian Shabti. They can fetch you anything in a microsecond, and do your chores!" I place two figurines made of dark stone on the table.

"A ring that lets you talk to animals, elements, genius loci, local deities, nymphs and assorted other spirit critters." I hang it on the hilt of the sword.

"Mirror that shows you anything you ask for, so long as you rhyme." A metal hand-mirror joins the other junk on the table.

"A charm that point towards anything you loose." I put what looks like a bunch of bent up paperclips on the table.

"And a custom made murder stick.. Magic Staff, I mean magic staff! It shoots fireballs!" I lean a glowing wooden staff on the table.

"Feel free to pick what you like! Or ask for something. I have a vast collection of magical shiny things."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I call the Shabti!

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

You can take the shabti, I'll be taking the charm that helps find anything the user has lost.

[Myself]

A sword that can cut through anything? I'll take it!

"Well, this has been a lovely get together, but it's time I get going. I'll be in Kethencia if anyone needs me. Don't be strangers and visit sometime"

A large quartz portal open in the ground and I step into in.

(BTW, I volunteer to be the next one to go evil)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

"Don't worry about that as I'll visit at some point."

I teleport to the Minerva Academy.

We...uh....may have a problem.

Earlier today, I fell from orbit over Texas after fighting a giant space monster. I had enough active powers to survive the fall, but I'm not in a good condition. Luckily, local looked after me (good thing I didn't crash-land in an anti-superhuman area), probably because they thought I was a benevolent alien or something.

This...thing breached my defenses like they simply didn't exist and deactivated my powers. Even Power Backup Ability* has been slow to act, bringing powers back slowly and at random. Luckily, my Negated Superman*due to it's unique nature stayed in action, though weakened and got the beast off my tail, which is now recovering. It seems to feed on superpowers themselves, along with magic and energy. It's made of pure energy, so physically harming it may be out of the question.

The only plan I can think of is to evacuate the rest of this reality to a new one before destroying this one to stop it's spread, but I don't want it to come to that if I can help it. I tried warping it out of existence, but it was like trying to destroy a sponge with water. We'll need to band together on this to defeat it.

P.S. Just trying to add a new monster to the story.

"Can we throw a planet at it?"

[Marvelous Miscreant]

So when are we gonna start the next person going evil and how will we choose who it is?
