IN BRIGHTEST DAY - Mod Plot [Network Post | 1]

Listen up, Legion. Unfortunately, our little vacation from catastrophe is apparently over. (Surprise surprise.)

The Legion outpost around Phelolu just registered a new incursion through the rift, made up of several groups of people, all of them apparently armed with different colored power rings, not unlike the one that used to be wielded by your fellow Legionnaire, Hal Jordan, and not unlike the ones wielded by the various Lanterns of ancient galactic history.

The outpost was attacked by yellow and red ringwielders, but was successfully defended by ringwielders with pink, purple, blue, and green rings.

The outpost staff sent us the footage they captured.

[Footage briefly plays, showing the view outside the outpost of several groups of Lanterns fighting each other, glowing in various colors. The ones bearing yellow and red rings look terrible and sinister. Some of them look like they're mostly made up of claws and fangs, and the reds spew flaming blood at their enemies, burning some of them alive.]

[The violets are beautiful as they fly around with their crystalline powers -- and er, slightly scantily clad. The indigo tribesman are few but an impressive force on the battlefield, redirecting ring energy with their staffs. The greens and blues seem to work together very well -- green constructs bolstered by blue energy -- as if the blues were made to support the greens. After a successful defense is mounted for the Legion outpost and the red and yellow lanterns are dealt considerable damage, with many of them successfully captured, first the yellows retreat with stargates and then the reds.]

After the yellow and red Lanterns retreated to locations unknown, the contingents of pink, purple, blue, and green Lanterns contacted the outpost and were diverted to Legion World, where their situation was explained to them. Between Brainy's scans and their own words, we've determined that they're from the 21st century, in a slightly alternate universe, rather than our universe's own past. (And also an alternate to your universe, Jordan).

There are rumors that the Lanterns all retreated to the edge of the universe back in ancient times, and we believe that the reds and yellows may have left to seek out any of their counterparts that exist in this universe in the 31st century. If they find them -- and the location of the power batteries that would let them link up and recharge their rings -- we could be looking at a renewal of the ancient war they all used to fight.

The other contingents of Lanterns are allied together and asking for the Legion's help in stopping the reds and yellows. The greens think they already have a lead on where the ancient Green Lanterns settled in our universe. They think it might be on the remains of a once living planet called Mogo, who was a Green Lantern, and think they know where to find him. The pinks can apparently detect something similar and think they can find the power source that the pinks of this universe used to use in ancient times.

I'm going to be leading a team to go with them, as an escort and to help mount an offense against the reds and yellows before they return to wreak havoc in civilized space. The Lanterns we'll be working with aren't familiar with this century or any of its politics, and they're also even unfamiliar with some of its species since they didn't exist until certain worlds were colonized.

The team I bring has to be prepared to wield any rings we might be able to get our hands on. After seeing the power profiles they were able to give us, we're going to need all the firepower we can get. Our own powers might not cut it.

Questions, concerns, protests, or letters of resignation because an ancient space war is restarting and who needs that nass -- go.

You can't just go around dibsing people. We're not cupcakes.

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2016-07-02 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm actually starting to be weirded out by this and I agree.

But just so you guys know, I'm calling preemptive dibs on any and all cupcakes ever.

Not if I lick them first.

Never stand between me and the snacks, dude. You've now been warned.

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2016-07-02 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what a cupcake is, so for all I know you could be.
headinjuries: don't give yourself a boner of false hope. (bah. we'll see.)

[personal profile] headinjuries 2016-07-02 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
So apparently we need to go down to the mess and fix that.

[personal profile] captainbuzzkill 2016-07-02 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, then I have dibs on your dragon. You never formally dibsed him in public where the rest of us could hear so technically, by the unwritten rules of dibsing, he's free to be dibsed. He's mine now. His new name is Toothless Pines.
wherenoonegoes: (Hiccup watching you)

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2016-07-02 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, really?

Alright then. As his new partner, you're responsible for cleaning up his poop. I'll get you a shovel.
captainbuzzkill: (034)

[personal profile] captainbuzzkill 2016-07-02 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Dipper crosses his arms, which is visible because his omnicom is propped up against something instead of in his hands.]

I'll just get Donatello or Brainiac 5 to invent something that'll clean his poop up for me.

Better living through technology, man.

Assuming they would instead of snarking at you because you can't be bothered to do it yourself.

I'm keeping the saddle, by the way. Already dibsed that with my logo.

Hey, Donnie's not that snarky. [Brainy totally is.]

Fine! I'll just learn how to do leatherwork to make my own then.
wherenoonegoes: (Hiccup Peg Leg)

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2016-07-02 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
And metalworking, and the mechanics of flight, Who knows, you might even manage to make your own by the time you're my age.

Sooner. [He holds up his chin proudly.] Way sooner than that.

You know I could. That's why you're even big bro dibsing me at all.
wherenoonegoes: (Hiccup silly me)

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2016-07-02 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Two and half years. At least. If you spent all that time studying metalworking and leatherworking without any break. If it was anybody else I'd be saying five years minimum. But you'd still be learning two trades at the same time from scratch.
captainbuzzkill: (056)

[personal profile] captainbuzzkill 2016-07-02 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
To be fair, if I did manage to learn to do it that quickly, it'd only be because I wouldn't have to, like, invent physics. Like you did.

[Because it'd be in books. Hiccup had to learn through trial and error.]

[And that is exactly why Dipper admires him so much.]

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2016-07-04 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend having to do that. That way leads to letting yourself get hit by lightning to prove it's attracted to metal and high places.

Everyone else thought Thor was angry at us, but all the lightning was hitting the island because we built metal dragon perches.

You got hit by lightning.

And we're right back to your life being a heavy metal album cover.

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2016-07-06 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't as cool as it sounds. I got knocked unconscious and woke up in my bed like a day later.

I am vaguely curious as to where dating an axe-wielding warrior woman falls on the scale of heavy metal album cover worthiness.

[personal profile] captainbuzzkill 2016-07-06 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much a shoe in, man. Your entire life is a heavy metal album cover. She'd probably be on it with you and look like a Valkyrie.
wherenoonegoes: (Hiccup grin)

Astrid already does, actually. With a big spiky Deadly Nadder instead of a horse.

Definitely metal. So metal.
