Fatebreaker

He likes Vondra's Regime. It's orderly, provides stability, and makes for a great front. Running his crime ring is something that would normally attract the attention of other Epics, but as it is, Attackers such as Panda Target Vondra, not him. Plus Vondra is an excellent opponant, whom Quicksilver enjoys the contest of trying to out-maneuver each other. Which means Quicksilver will make sure Panda is defeated. He's given the Slivers license to go wreak some havoc on the Pandas. He's not one of those Epics who manifests insanity or believes he's been given a holy mission. He's very practical and calculating. And he enjoys killing people.

Quicksilver will never want for firearms then. No wonder he loves this place.

Sorry to directly contradict you, but taking a possible spy directly to headquarters is a rookie mistake, and Quicksilver is no rookie. And I've been thinking about how to use Busdriver in combat, and I've come up with some, fun, ideas. Maybe Reflection is a spy! ... ... ... Or maybe I meant to say Quicksilver. Nice catch Voidus. Just a warning, when Quicksilver and the Splinters get involved in the invasion, things are going to get messy. Quicksilver tends to be, thorough.

(Note: I'm changing Mirror's name to reflection, for writing purposes. He's not a new character.) Reflection walked briskly down the street. He could have taken a tunnel to the rendezvous, but he had wanted to survey the city briefly. Guards were all heading towards the city limits, towards the new Epic that was attacking. It seemed all was going according to Vondra's protocol. They would have this Epic dealt with shortly. Say what you will about Vondra, but the man ran a tight ship. Then the pigs came. Reflection stared at the sky as a porcine air force dropped flying rodents to wreak havoc on the world. This was obnoxious! It was one thing to have a theme, it was another to have flying pigs drop baskets of squirrels. The was a fine line between flair and absurdity, and this epic had crossed it miles ago. He snapped back to the present when a group of squirrels dove towards him, chattering madly. From the look of their claws, petting them wasn't an option. Reflection studied them till they were nearly upon him, then created a Mirror. what appeared to be a large mirror as thin as paper materialized instantly between him and the rodents. They hit it and bounced off, shooting into walls and each other. several had broken their necks and the remaining ones were quickly shot in the head. Reflection looked for a moment at the strange creatures. they looked like normal flying squirrels, but with teeth and claws like razors. So, the Epic could alter animals then. That would explain alot. He made a mental note to tell Quicksilver. He proceeded on down the street, pausing now and then to deal with more squirrels and once to shoot a lone guard and take his side arm because He was running low on ammo. Finally he arrived at the outpost. It was in the back of an old store. The store owners payed a premium to make sure their property was mostly safe from raids. He nodded to the mna behind the counter and entered the back room. Inside Busdriver sat with a teenage girl. Inwardly Reflection frowned. Teenage epics had all of the unstable and annoying qualities of human teenagers, but with abilities that could level parking structures. They lacked discipline and experience that older individuals brought to the table. That said, young people could be more inventive with their abilities. Provided they kept their hormones in check, they could actually be useful. He addressed the waiting Epics. "Driver, you are to return to HQ with the new recruit once this meeting is over. Find Cannon Fodder, he will brief you on your new mission. And you are to give me your name, a short explanation of your abilities, and a small, controlled display. Keep in mind stealth and speed are necessary as there are an abundance of guards active throughout the city right now." His harsh black eyes bore into hers. "If you give me reason to suspect anything is amiss, I will put you down on the spot." He pulled out his pistol and cocked it. "Now you may begin."

Ah. Well, Pandafication can happen to the best of us.

That's probably the worst curse I've heard all month. You're so devious! Granted, but you are never able to support your family. I wish to read the complete collection of Deadpool comics.

Alright then. I'll just have to take his word for it. I'm not one to argue with Sentient Anthropomorphic Panda Warlords. So you're saying Panda can gift Energy Diffusion? Is that his secretive secondary power?

LP, that last post was awesome. The squirrels totaly reminded me of Lightsong. However I had a few issues to mention. 1. If panda can alter them with his mind, why do the shadow pandas have to paint their fur? Why not just make black pandas, or black bears for that matter? 2. I don't care how strong they are, you cannot create a panda that can survive falling several 'undred feet without a scratch. They would be juice, or at the least shatter all the bones in their legs and possibly their spines. Falling fifty feet and not suffering any damage is okay, several hundred is ridiculous. That would qualify as a superpower, not just enhanced pandas.

How would this power work in combat situations? Could he make you forget that you were fighting him in the middle of close combat?

Maybe Terry Bloom discovers that some of the pandas were humans transformed against their will. Then every panda the gaurd kills is potentially an innocent vanilla.

You've both been added. However, it is recommended that you make at least one or two sales on the intro page. And I was unaware of the ichneumon wasp. This could prove useful. Well done!

Way ahead of you. It's amazing how far we've come since the Final Empire. I bet you Ati never even imagined spiking monotremes. There are so many new members, I think we should compile a new list.

Welcome Crash and Charm, can I call you C&C? Anyway, welcome to the Madness. Here, have an upvote and a cookie.

You'd think after encountering Funtimes and the MoNA he'd be able to accept this statement at face vaule. I see your 300 pages and raise you three-book series.

Working on it. I'm waiting for the MEE attack to be over. Or maybe that would be the perfect cover for Fade. You'll have to find out. How do you not notice the largest Slotze in the Dalles getting abducted by pandas? I think Altermind would be Vinzzini

Yeah, I could always use assistants. Thought of that one. Platypi have venomous spurs on their hind legs, which have been can be substituted with spikes. If only it was in the budget. I guess we'll never see it come to pass. Australians are completely safe from Hemalurgic monotremes. splendid, we need a shipment of baked goods delivered to Iceland. They're having a sugar shortage and these tasty treats will be heartily appreciated.

So a one-armed Herdazian and his cousin walk into a bar and order some drinks. They drink for a while when a pompous Alethi challenges him to a drinking contest. The first one to finish their Horneater Lager is the winner. The one-armed Herdazian agrees and they both order the drinks. The contest begins and the Alethi fall behind. Overcome at the sight of his cousin winning, the two armed cousin shouts "Hi-five!" The One armed Herdazian drops his lager and promptly loses the contest.

if you'd had a Chipotle steak burrito then you would know this isn't a curse.

Granted, but you can NEVER let go of it. I wish for a chipotle steak burrito.

Welcome to the Madness. Here, have a cookie.

New Quicksilver post up. He would pay money to see Vondra's face when he learns of his attackers.

What will you do now, Stephen? I struck harder than I have in a long time, and there are an abundance of casualties. What's your next move? Will you simply try to crack down on crime, or will you try something more clever? Quicksilver was deep in contemplation, sitting in his massive high-backed chair. It was beautiful and throne-like, and was made completely out of Platinum. He was roused from his thoughts when Surveillance's voice came from a speaker on the wall. "Quicksilver, we've received a transmission from Bus. He says he has a powerful new Epic with him. Orders?" The voice of Fritz chimed in, "I'll take double cheeseburger, hold the tomato." Quicksilver ignored him. A powerful new Epic, right after he had attacked? Could be a plant for Stephen. He pulled a com out of his pocket. "Mirror, Driver has brought in a new Epic. Possible spy of Vondra's, proceed with caution. Suddenly Surveillance was on the speaker again. "Sir! A large amount of flaming arrows have hit the city! They were fired from outside the walls." Arrows? Who uses Arrows? Quicksilver answered his own question. An Epic, that's who. He barked into the com. "Get me eyes outside the walls and monitor Vondra's reaction." There was silence for a few moments then, "Sir, you're not going to believe this, but, um... well, we're under siege by.... Pandas." Quicksilver was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Mirror proceed with the meeting. Surveillance, send out some drones. expect heightened senses for the Pandas, so maintain a low profile. If we need to we'll step in, but I want to enjoy the show first." Quicksilver allowed himself a smile. Attack by Pandas with longbows. Stephen Vondra was going to love this.

More like the Matrix: Is this real? Am I real? Is this Vondra in my dream, or am I in his dream? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!??!?!?! He would then give up his life of crime and make metaphysical sock-puppets till the end of his days.

If Vondra ever breaks out into song I'm pretty sure Quicksilver would question his existence. They are, but I wasn't sure if people were planning to fast forward to the Pandemic

Whoa. So. Many. Pandas. WWF(World Wildlife Foundation) would love this guy. I imagine Chigago Joe waking up to a panda invasion and vowing never to drink again. And then celebrating his vow with a drink. Also, I'd like to have a Vondra post where he meets busdriver and Mistwraith before the "Pandemic" commences. Finally Twi! Nightblood is one of my top three favorite characters! I just saw the new disney movie Big Hero 6 yesterday. I thought it was awesome. While the plot was predictable, it was entertaining and the characters were great. And the abilities were awesome. The Masked villain is exactly how I have always pictured Quicksilver. If you go see it, stay for the clip at the end of the credits.
