Jezrianna:Yeah, you could take Triaxx, I've only seen two characters do it, but it's possible. He has a second version, which is the truly powerful one, who goes by Lord Triaxx. They look exactly alike, but Lord Triaxx is capable of snuffing suns, and creating planets. Triaxx is only a very powerful, albeit immortal human.
"You do realize that even with the Ultimen clones, that as soon as the magic users come in, Galatea is going to get her ugly ass handed to her." I asked Waller.
"And just what do you propose?" Waller asked. I smiled quietly.
"A mystical distraction. Tala and I knew this was coming, so we planned something to draw the full attention of the league magicians." I answered, not wanting to give her more details. I guess she figured out she wasn't getting more than I wanted to tell her, because she left. Tala snorted behind me. "What?" I asked, turning to face her.
"We aren't planning anything." she grunted.
"I know that, and you know that, but she didn't know that. And it's only we that aren't planning anything. I already had something in mind." I assured her. I felt his presence a moment or so before he arrived. Triaxx flared to existance without much fanfare, and shook himself off like a cat.
"I've been watching." Triaxx spoke, not bothering with pleasantries. He seldom did. "What the hell happened?" I shrugged.
"Not sure. If I knew, I could do something about it. My memories are completely clouded now." I answered him, referring to the memories of what was supposed to have happened.
"The Lance War is fast approaching. The last of the opening moves is motion, and most are already played out. It's clouding everything. Even mine. Only they don't seem to be affected. No matter. I've seen what's about to happen here. I'm authorizing code Dadelaus." I started. Built into the UCS emergency procedure's, it had never been used. "Citadel, Purnao, and Solaris will all evacuate to Vadelaus. Isengard as well. Isis will jump to the dark side of the moon, and Comet Guard will go to the polar orbit."
"A complete evacuation? Are you sure?" Triaxx nodded.
"It's the only option. If you are associated with the League, they'll find a link to them. We'll maintain only the sattellites, and a small fleet contingent. Everything else is leaving." I nodded, still startled that he'd considered this. "I'll need a secure line to speak with Johnathon."
"Right, my place." I answered, and he nodded. He glanced at Tala.
"I'm still watching you." she nodded quietly. Triaxx snapped his fingers, and we reappeared in the middle of the bedroom in my house. Kara snapped into motion the instant we appeared, leaping instantly for Triaxx. Far from startled, or even concerned, he snapped his fingers, and she froze in mid-air. It was then I realized she wasn't wearing more than her underwear. Triaxx seemed to notice as well, and whistled softly.
"That's my WIFE." I snapped. He sighed, and rolled his eyes, but raised one hand, and snapped his fingers with the other. He caught her fist, and stopped the attack in mid motion. "Ummm, Kara, are you alright?" I asked, she stared, and flushed, and vanished, only to reappear in a T-shirt, and Jeans.
"No, as a matter of fact, I'm not alright." Kara confided, wrapping her arms around my neck. "I'm worried. Is it possible that we are what Cadmus thinks?" she asked. I shuddered, and stroked her hair for a moment.
"Of course not. That's just silly. It was only the old league members, and besides, our superpowered army isn't without a conscience. They wouldn't let something like this happen. Even if the Seven tried to go rogue, Fate and Zatanna can stop everyone, but Hawkgirl. And we've got people enough that can take her down. There's nothing that can happen." I tried to sooth her. I can't be quite sure whether it worked or not, but she nodded.
"What about you?" Kara asked. I chuckled.
"Oh, that's easy. You'd kill me. Besides, I've got a safety valve. Kara, meet my safety valve." I waved, and she turned to face Triaxx. She extended a hand to shake his, but he impressed, as he almsot always does. He dropped to one knee, and kissed the back of her hand.
"Enchante Madamoiselle. Ze pleasure is all mine." he replied, and stood smoothly. I fought down a growl. He bowed so deep he might have fallen over, and then straightened. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Triaxx dul Marcae. I am at your service. Might I take use of your phone? I must make a call." Kara nodded, and after he walked out, she turned to me.
"Is he for real?" came the question.
"Mostly. He's a bit weird, I'll admit, but you like weird people. You wouldn't have married me otherwise, would you?" she grinned, and hit me. I grimaced instantly. She drew back.
"I didn't hit you too hard did I?" she asked. I shook my head, and pointed down. Mr. Freckles, our cat, was kneading his claws in my leg. Kara laughed and picked him up. Triaxx reentered the room.
"Alright, Johnathon is packing up Purnao as we speak, and Citadel has already withdrawn. He sent a message to Solaris, and as soon as it's confirmation comes through, Isengard is leaving as well. Isis is already gone, and CG is in progress of changing orbits. HALO will be running off of the Selare, and Versari." he announced.
"Huh?" Kara asked. Triaxx gave a quick, conscise explanation. Something I've never been able to do. I always wander far off topic, and get lost in my own conversation. I've been told I brag, but I attribute it to that.
And I'm doing it again. "So what is CG?" Kara asked.
"A massive 700' sphere of a sattellite, with a single 400 megaton nuclear missle, and a number of smaller missiles. It's designed with the ability to neutralize any comet on a danger path with earth. Smaller comets get a head on collision with the four-double-aught. The bigger ones receive a deflection detonation from the big one, and correction blasts with the lesser shots if needed. After all, wouldn't do to have it miss earth, and nail the moon." I answered as conscisely as possible. Kara nodded.
"What about..." she started, but Triaxx cut her off.
"It was created before the league, and in a world without the League." Triaxx shrugged. "In anycase, we have to get back, and I think it's time I call in the big gun." I kissed Kara good-bye, and Triaxx snapped his fingers. We reappeared in the new Cadmus headquarters. Amanda Waller was waiting for us.
"I knew you couldn't be trusted!" she snarled, and then found her voice was gone as she tried to yell for the guards. It wasn't me, I don't have that kind of control in this world. I can't take out a voice without severing vocal cords. She was also frozen in place, as she tried for the intercom. That wasn't me either, though I can do it. Triaxx stepped forwards, and leaned very close to the face of a frightened looking Amanda Waller.
"You won't remember this meeting, but you'll remember meeting me. One thing you'll know for a fact, is that I can take you down, and out, peramanently at any time. If you make me mad, I will come down on you. And make no mistake. You can't run. You can't hide. You can't squirm out, and when I come, you will regret it." Triaxx flared again, and Waller blinked, looking around.
"Alright, Galatea has gone after the league, and taken the ultimen along with her. She'll arrive soon, I need that distraction, and I need it now." she commanded.
"Alright, one distraction, coming up." I answered. Waller nodded, and stalked out. Tala snorted.
"She's going to make him mad you know." she confided. I chuckled.
"And she's going to deserve it." I replied, and we set to work.
