Roleplay:Nightmare in Station Square

The Plot:
Something strange is going on, and it isn't good. Station Square is being overun by zombies, monsters, and other horrible creatures. To make matters worse, all communication with the outside world has ceased. To make matters even worse, all the heroes and anti-heroes' powers have become inactive! Who, or what, is behind it? Is the rest of the world gone, or is there hope to fight for? The remaining surviviors must band together and decide wether to find out what evil is behind this, or to fight their way out and never look back. One thing is for sure, death is NOT an option.

Discussion: (this is NOT part of the roleplay itself.)
[Frost: We will start the roleplay when we get a few more users to sign up.]

[Flame: I'll ask a couple people to join this.]

[Frost: I sent out several invites to different users. I would like to hear back from them before starting... If that's okay with you guys.]

[Frost: Okay. I think we're almost ready. I would at least like to get three more anit-heroes added. Also, please don't make your characters over powered. Also, if any of you know anyone who might be interested in joining, please have them ask to join. Thank you all for your patience.]

[Frost: Hmm. I think I may need to edit the rules so that each user can only have up to 3 or 4 characters. We seem to be a little overcrowded in the heroes section. What do you guys think?]

[Flame: You may need to re-think that rule, You'll have to get rid of some characters, Maybe 3-4 in one catagory, So people dont have like 7 heroes and nothing else.]

[Frost: Fair enough. I'll move Mimic to the Anti-heroes category. But, that means that I will need to remove Crystaline from the roleplay. Good idea, by the way.]

[Flame: I think mimic is more of a mix between anti-hero and hero, And besides in my roleplays I will set 5 per catagory, Personally i think you really shouldn't remove crystaline as she will be a good addition to the roleplay.]

[Frost: Instead of removing Crystaline, I moved Frost to the Anti-Hero category and changed the category's description.]

[Frost: To everyone, this part of the roleplay (labled Discussion) is not part of the roleplay. Instead, it is basically being used in place of the talk page until the roleplay starts. Once it starts (probably around Dec. 14th), this section will be deleted.]

[Frost: So, would it be okay with you guys if the time in which the roleplay took place was in the late evening during heavy rain? It would give the roleplay a more dramatic feel in my opinion. Also, what type of animal should the main villain be? He's going to be a scientist with a slight german accent. I won't give anymore spoilers than that.]

[Smash: I don't see why you would need to ask us permission on what to do with your characters and your story. But if you need suggestions, I'm thinking an otter might fit him best. In anycase, This roleplay is starting, right? I probably should have read some of this here and asked first before writing out that big intro for myself below.]

[Frost: Thanks for the suggestion, and great introduction by the way! Anyway, yes the roleplay is starting now. In addition, all the heroes and anti-heroes can NOT use their powers (or magic) because of the barrier surrounding the city. Skills, weapons, and technology are still fair game.]

[Flame: Hey, I'm having a bit of trouble deciding when to join in, When do you think I should join? Also quick question, Flame has a skill to use auras to make his physical attacks stronger would that not be able to work? Because I know his magic wont.]

[Frost: Any manipulation of elements, magic, auras, ect. are considered powers and therefore are disabled. So yes, he can't use auras to increase his physical attack strength. This also means that Crystaline can't use auras (or even her ghost powers) to sense her surroundings. She will have to rely on her senses (smell and hearing mostly) and on others to get around.]

[Flame: Okay, I guess thats fine for most of my characters, But that also makes Flame useless as he is terrible at clost combat, Is it okay if i make it so that his powers either dont work or barely work, So if he tries to fire a ray he'll fire a very small flame and if he tries to use his Aura's they work for a second then they get much weaker, Is that fair?]

[Frost: Hmmm. I will have to think about it. In the mean time, Flame is still very smart and can create tools and gadgets, right? Maybe, during the roleplay, he could create a few things out of whatever materials he can find. I do plan on the heroes and anti-heroes re-gaining at least some of their abilities back later in the roleplay.]

Prologue:
[Location: Station Square; Hidden research lab located within the tallest building in Station Square, Station Spires. Time: Approx. 8:00 P.M. Weather: Heavy rain.]

Station Spires was a pair of buildings that towered over Station Square. The two buildings were connected by a pair of bridges between them, several thousand feet off the ground. Deep within one of the towers was a secret research lab. In the lab, machinery was knocked over, papers were scattered everywhere, and blood and some corpses could be seen all over the room.

A wounded, white mobian otter with black streaks was wearing a blood stained lab coat, sitting unconscious against one of the knocked over machines. Under his lab coat, he was wearing a dark grey sweater with a lot of blood on it. Like his coat and sweater, his dark grey pants had blood stained on the left leg. Oddly, his black and shiny leather shoes were untouched by the blood.

Suddenly, his dark blue eyes fluttered opened and he groaned. Looking over at his left arm, he noticed that it was gone from the elbow down. The wound was wrapped with bloodstained bandages to stop the bleeding. Oddly, he felt very numb. He looked around at the completely demolished room. The only light was coming in from the windows as lightning flashed out side.

Suddenly, he remembered everything that had happened. Quickly, he scrammbled to his feet and tried to make his way to a nearby elevator. He stumbled a few times, either from the numbness or from his haste. He soon reached the elevator and pushed a button on the control panel. The elevator lurched for a moment, knocking the one-armed otter to the ground. When the elevator started moving, he managed to pull himself up.


 * "I hope I'm not too late." He said in a slight german accent. "I didn't anticipate his strength. I have to hurry. It may be too late for the city, but I might have a chance to stop this from spreading to the rest of the vorld."

The elevator came to a halt, again lurching. The doctor, however, had braced himself for the sudden stop. As the doors opened, he stumbled out into the room. It looked to be an office of some sort. He quickly tried to turn on the light switch to his left with his left hand. When he didn't feel the familiar sensation of hitting a light switch, he quickly remembered that his arm was gone. He then quickly turns on the switch with his right hand, flooding the room with light as the switch is flicked.

The left wall of the room was made entirely out of windows, giving a blured, but spectacular view of the city through the rain droplets on the outside of the glass. At the far end of the room was a large, semi-circular desk that was facing the elevator. A computer terminal was on the desk, along with documents and papers that were neatly orgainized all along the desk. To the right side of the room were a couple of comfortable looking chairs and a small, glass coffee table. Mounted on the wall was a large, flat-screened television.

The white otter hurried across the room, a few drops of blood landed on the persian rug under his feet. He soon made it to the computer teminal on the desk and typed a few things in. After a few seconds of typing, a confirmation sound was heard. The injured scientist then looked at a framed picture to the right of the computer. It was a picture of two mobians: the injured otter himself (though he looked a little younger and wasn't missing an arm in the photograph), and a yonger looking otter with reddish brown fur, blue streaks, and deep blue eyes like the doctor's . Both characters in the picture were smiling at the camera.The white otter looked at the photograph with sadness in his eyes.


 * "I'm sorry, Zoren. My dear brother." He said quietly. "I vas so close."

Suddenly, a sound was heard from above. It sounded like a machine powering up and then discharging something. He looked out the window and saw a large, clearish turquoise glowing ray of energy expand across the city. The ray curved as it approached the outer edge of Station Square. In less than a minute, the entire city was enveloped in a turquoise colored field of energy. However, all of the lights across the city began to go out. Soon, the only two buildings with the lights still on were the towers of Station Spires.

The rain had stopped abruptly because it could not penetrate the energy dome. However, as the lightning flashed across the sky, the sound of thunder could clearly be heard by anyone in the city. The doctor sighed and made his way back to his desk. He looked at the photograph of himself and his younger brother for several moments. Then he looked at the computer. With his right arm, he typed several commands into the terminal.

A large screen lowered down from the ceiling, displaying several camera images showing different parts of the city. One of the images could clearly show a few zombies limping across the street. Another could show an empty street in which a few pieces of newspaper were being blown about. However, the injured scientist was looking at a camera feed of a lone zombie moving around, not by will, but by instinct. The zombie looked almost exactly like Zoren, with the exception that its eyes were glowing a bright orange color.

A few tears fell onto the white otter's blood-stained lab coat. He felt nothing could be done about this now. He sat at his desk, watching the video screens in silence. On the desk, there was a plaque which read in big, bold letters: Dr. Xavior E. Archer.

Part 1:
[Location: Somewhere in Station Square. Time: about 8:00P.M. Weather: from stormy to strange.]

Cutter, a lone bounty hunter echidna, had just returned home to his apartment not long before the barrier formed around the city. He was drenched from the rain, and hung up his raincoat before going to find a towel to dry himself off. As soon as he finished drying his hair, everything went dark. "What the--" He shuffled around his pockets, and soon flicked on a flashlight. ''Looks like a power outage. ''He thought to himself. ''That storm is stronger than it sounded. ''He began to walk around his home, lighting candles around in every room.

It was then when he noticed something strange. He couldn't hear the rain anymore. Puzzled, he opened the front door, and saw that the rain had stopped. ''So it knocks out the power and leaves, huh? Pfft. Tha''-- His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a bright flash and loud crash of thunder. It sounded like the storm was still right over the city. This only confused him further. He stepped outside, and leaned over the balconey to look up at the sky. "What in the..." He clearly could see the sky and the clouds, but something was between them and the city. A large, turquoise field of energy spread across the sky; how far it reached was anyone's guess. He couldn't see the end of it. But what he could see was a slight ripple in several places. The rain hadn't stopped; It couldn't pass this barrier.

Cutter couldn't imagine what the purpose of this could possibly be. But he had an awfully bad feeling that it would cause something worse than a power outage.

Meanwhile, across the street, an orange cat wearing a blue and gold jacket and white shirt was sound asleep; leaning against his chair as he sat at a table in front of a closed restaurant. A large, open umbrella was sticking up from the center of the table; keeping the sleeping cat dry. He had fallen asleep during the rain storm, and seemed to be unaware of the large field of energy covering the sky.

At the end of the street, something limped out of a dark alley. It was dressed as a police officer; complete with handcuffs, gun, baton, and radio. The uniform, however, was torn in multiple places and had blood stained on a large majority of it. It seemed to groan as it limped down the street; towards Cutter and the orange cat.

Cutter surveyed the area, curious to know if anyone else had witnessed the strange weather. He saw a cat lying limp in a chair, in a manner that suggested that he was asleep. There was no one else in the area, at least he didn't see anyone...until he saw a figure in a police uniform limping out of the shadows. Someone's been hurt? He was somewhat alarmed by this, especially since it seemed to be heading toward the sleeping person. Cutter hurried down the stairs and rushed across the street. As he got closer, he began to hear the moans and groans from the officer. As he stood a good distance between the cat and the limping man, he noticed something horribly wrong about him, which made his face twist in horror.

It was a zombie with glowing orange eyes. His torso was ripped, exposing some flesh and even bone. As the zombie approached the cat, he let out a loud cry of some sort; a cross between a moan and a roar. The cat opened his eyes at the noise, startled at what he saw. "Wha-? YIKES!" He leaped out of the chair as the zombie tried to grab him; just missing by a few inches. The zombie fell over the chair that had been occupied only moments ago.

The feline rolled on the ground and got back to his feet, ready to fight. When he twitched his arm, he was expecting an electric current to appear. For a second, it did, giving off a blue glow as it crackled. However, before the cat could do anything, the electricity died out. To his horror, he tried to reactivate it; only to fail at his attempts. "Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no! This can't be happening!"

The zombie slowly got up, and decided instead to go for Cutter.
