Omega Attack!
To Red Witch: Yeah, things are going nuts now! And here's the next chapter for you!
To Wizard1: It should be obvious who said that to Omega. Yeah, here I mention Dr. Reptile, and in 'Meet the Warriors' I actually introduce him! Speaking of Dr. Reptile, I'm introducing him in my new Kid Razor story 'Reptile Trouble'. Check it out!
To DemonRogue13: Nice to hear from you and glad you liked the chapter! Here's more madness for you!
To Descendant: Read the new chapter of 'Brotherhood Evolution' and loved it! Looks like Kelly will never want to be seen in Bayville again!
In the last issue of "Omega Attack: The immortal Selene, the witch that held the post of Black Queen in the Hellfire Club, revealed another part of her plan to get Razor's guitar. It involves a mystical artifact known as the Elemental Star, whose five pieces will grant five chosen people each a superhuman power and the mastery of an element. Meanwhile, Kid Razor found Mike "Omega" Nagrite brooding in an old part of Cleveland. When Razor deduced that Omega was brooding over a lost girlfriend, the Miami-born mutant went nuts and tried to lash out at Razor with his tentacles. Razor dodged and Omega walked off. When we last left him, someone was talking to him.
Chapter 4: Selene Strikes!

"He does have a point." The voice purred. It was feminine. Omega turned around and noticed something, rather, someone. It was a beautiful woman standing in the alley. He noticed her outfit was rather revealing, not quite a fit with the slightly chilly Cleveland air: Basically a black leather corset with matching panties. Her high-heeled black boots reached up to just above her knees, and her long black fingerless gloves went to just above her elbows. Her lips and nails were a bright red, a stark contrast to her pale skin. She also had long straight jet-black hair. Her ensemble was completed by a black cape with red trim, held around her neck by a clasp with a trident on it. Omega noticed something odd: There was a breeze coming through, but she didn't react. Her hair and cape didn't even move!
"Who-who are you?" Omega unsheathed his tentacles and assumed a fighting pose. She laughed.
"Do not fear, young one." She said. "I happened to be here and I overheard your…talk with the self-proclaimed Heavy Metal Heartbreaker."
"You haven't answered my question." Omega glared.
"I am Selene." She bowed. "And you are Michael Nagrite." She smiled as she tapped her temple with her finger. "I am a telepath, among numerous other powers." Mike noticed the symbol on her clasp.
"Sorry, lady. I don't deal with the Hellfire Clowns." Omega growled. Selene laughed.
"Oh, my own agenda is totally different from those of my…compatriots." The sorceress said. "World domination…so cliché."
"What do you want?" Omega said.
"I sense great pain from you." Selene replied.
"So?"
"I merely wish to give you what you want. You want something back." Omega found himself lowering his defenses. Something about her seemed to make him feel…comfortable.
"Yes." He admitted after a long silence. "I did lose something. Someone."
"A girl named Elisabeth Braddock." Selene nodded. "I am a powerful sorceress, dear Michael. I can use my magic to restore her to life." Omega shook his head. In her mind, the sorceress smirked. Oh Omega, if you only knew that as I speak to you, I am slowly using my hypnotic powers to make you my thrall. You'll think you'll be getting Razor's guitar from me under your own free will, but you'll actually bring it because I ordered it.
"That sounds too good to be true." He replied. "What's the catch?"
"All you have to do is bring me Kid Razor's mystical guitar." Selene replied. Omega blinked.
"Why?" Mike asked.
"My magic is great, but to resurrect your beloved, I require the guitar's mystical energies." Selene lied. She knew that the Power of Rock was incapable of resurrecting people, but she could tell that Mike didn't know that. And besides, she planned to feed Omega to her demon pets after he did the job anyway. Mike thought about what the evil sorceress said.
"The guitar is the source of Razor's powers, I think." Mike replied. "And no offense, but why can't you get it yourself?"
Why do the job yourself when you can always make someone else do it for you? Selene thought. "It is not safe for me. Razor has probably heard of me. His mystical-based powers have garnered him some attention from other powerful magic users as well." Mike nodded.
"Fine. Where is Razor?"
"Just wait for a costumed villain to attack Cleveland." Selene smirked. "He'll show up." Mike then noticed she was translucent, like a ghost.
"Is…something wrong with you?" Mike arched an eyebrow.
"You just saw astral projection, young one." Selene smirked. "I'll know when you get the guitar. I shall contact you then." She disappeared with a smirk. Young fool. If only you knew you were under my power. Omega smiled and looked up at the sky.
Betsy. Betsy, you'll come back! We can be together again! YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

(The Hellfire Club Building, New York City)
Selene opened her eyes as her astral form returned. She stood up with a gleeful smile.
"I have taken control of Omega."
You've sunk to a new low, Selene. Ronnie Rocker growled from her necklace.
"You know Ronnie, not having to hear your voice is one blessing of astral projection."
You used that kid's own heart against him! He was almost willing to do anything to get his girlfriend back! He might end up killing somebody if you send him to face Razor! Kid Razor won't take too kindly to people attacking him. And he certainly won't take too kindly to people trying to steal his guitar!
"Now how did you know about that?" Selene smirked. She had to admit, Ronnie was one resourceful ghost. Even trapped in a pendant, he still found ways to reach her.
You'd be surprised what one can do on the Astral Plane, lady. You make me sick, Selene. How a woman with such a lock of human decency can walk this Earth is beyond me!
"You forget dear Ronnie. I have been around a long time, you know. I have seen the Roman Empire fall. I have played a lot of roles in my long life."
The only reason you've been around for so long is because you sucked innocent people dry to maintain your youth! It won't last forever, Selene! Even you can be killed. Selene glared down at her pendant.
"You wretch!" She clutched the pendant as her hand was encased in a golden glow.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ronnie screamed in pain. Selene let go, and smiled.
"Keep in mind little specter, I can still torment you even in the pendant. I don't know how you managed to access the Astral Plane, but you won't find a way out."
I hope Kid Razor stabs you in the stomach! Ronnie snarled.
Uh oh! Looks like our friend Mike is in dire danger! Will he realize Selene's plans for him and that he's under her subtle control? Can Kid Razor stop Omega without having to take extreme measures? Will the Brotherhood make an appearance? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
