Well, we must be starting to really get under Destroyer's armor. He is starting to make mistakes.
NAGA is so bent on taking out the resistance that it is creating more resistance. It seems that most people didn't really like the political leaders that much, so, when Dr. D took them out and things didn't change all that much, they though, eh, maybe things will get better this way.
Despots rely on the inactivity of the populace. Make things seem to stay close to the thing everyone feels is right, and no one will fight the outcome.
Well, we've kicked over a hornets nest now.
We had a little 'round' table discussion about what to do with the 'old' villains that we catch. The 'Superior' Five wanted to kill Gigaton. Well, what they really wanted to do was to kill Gigaton in cold blood.
I know that it is wrong to kill.... I know that it is wrong to kill in cold blood. That is what Destroyer and his minions did. Gigaton was one of the worse. He seemed to take glee in it.
It is getting harder and harder for me to really hold back against some of the opponents that we have been going up against.
I have a slight problem with imprisoning some of these people without a trial. That makes us as guilty as they are.
Well, we're going to see if we can find someone in the legal system that is willing to stand up for what is just, what is right morally. To stand up for our laws from before Destroyer took over the world. The older members of the New Champions remembered a Judge that was apparently taken by some men in dark robes. So, now we go looking for those men, to see what they are all about.
We get a call about something going on in one of the warehouse districts. We respond to the scene. What a grizzly scene, there are several somethings shooting fire at a Gas Station. Really smart thing to do. Oh, there are also a couple of the Black Talon agents. Those large robot like mech suits.
Ghost approaches a police officer, not part of the NAGA team, who is making a call on his radio. She finds out that there are some people still INSIDE of the gas station. Well, that will never do...
So, off I go, like a rocket. Just about the time I get to the station, Sandcrab has pinpointed the location of the two. An elderly gent and a younger male. I run to where they are and pick them up. Now this puts me in a quandry. I can handle passing through the flames because I am wearing some protective clothing, but they aren't. Well, nothing to do but blow out the window and some of the wall. I quickly run out the hole I made and head up the street.
I get a couple of blocks away and I drop them off. "You need to keep moving away from the area. We'll do what we can to save your gas station. Can you give me an idea why NAGA was trying to burn down your station?"
