Before you are the 6 deadliest and most overpowered characters I have ever created. Mostly they operate quietly from behind the scenes, manipulating events to suit their needs and making others do their bidding. Every so often one or two of them will step out from behind the shadows to reveal their existence, most notably the Black Mantis. A being who cares little for the lives and day to day activities of mortals and seeks only his own ends. depicted here are the remaining members of his pantheon.  From left to right

Raven aka Spydraxis: Goddess of War, Mistress of Honor, the Spider Goddess.

Reaver: God of Death the Undead, lord of the underworld

The Black Mantis: God of Storms and Chaos and Multiverse's Greatest assassin.

Lord Beast: God of Beasts, God of the Hunt, The blood god.

Norjaguar: Lord of Shadows and Cat God of Stealth Knower of secrets and all things hidden.

Thunderbird: God of the sun and skies and all things that dwell in the sky.

They have faced foes that would make mortals tremble in fear and until recently lived in peace, but an adversary has arrived and will not be taken lightly.

Steam rises from the hot floor as Shenara makes her way to the rendezvous point. The job was as easy as it the man in black had told her it would be...the passcodes were all up to date, and the package was right where it was supposed to be. Not one alarm tripped, easy in easy out. The golden container was heavy but in her magical pouch it weight nothing. The medallion he had given her kept her presence concealed and the ring she wore made her invisible to just about all kinds of technology. She couldn't help but feel a constant sense of dread, and maybe even just a tad bit of terror. Something about this job was all wrong and she couldn't wait for it to be finished.  The man in black had offered an ungodly amount of credits and she just couldn't pass this job up.  It was the score of a lifetime and she was going against her instincts but this kind of opportunity comes along only once. The risks didn't matter she was tired of scrounging from job to job trying to peddle the exquisite pieces of art she could get her hands on. The risks had never been worth the reward. But this score, this score was different.  She wouldn't have to fence the goods, the client was paying and his credits were clean.  As she entered the factory floor the coming from the molten metal below made it unbearably hot. But the client said something about avoiding thermal scans.  Her gut feeling was that this may be a setup so she came armed, so a long range machine pistol was at her side. A weapon purchased with the down payment for this job ironically...Her hand squeezed the grip of the cold metal and her finger rested gently on the trigger.

"Nervous?"

The voice seems to come from nowhere and everywhere at the same time.

"A little" she answered back

"This job has put me a bit on edge and to be honest I just wanna conclude our business and be on my way."

"Let's see the package."

Shenara carefully removed the large golden orb-shaped container from her magical pouch and set it on the ground before the black clad figure.

"Perfect" the man chuckled "...simply perfect. here you go. You're every bit as good as my sources said you were...keep the magic items, and as here's fifty million credits"
Shanara couldn't believe what she heard, the payment was five times what they negotiated.

"We only agreed to ten, what gives?"

"Hahahaha, I'm feeling generous and besides, with this I have something worth much more than simple money.'

The man in black reaches down and lifts a nearby grate exposing the liquid metal underneath. The scary part is the ease at which he removes a grate    that must weigh several hundred pounds yet in his hands looks like it weighs but a few ounces. he then simply kicks the container into the white hot liquid below.

"What did you do that for?"

Shanara exclaimed in disbelief.  The degree of risk was astronomical.  The man's actions made no sense.

"My dear, I don't need the contents of the package and I have no intention of opening it but I simply needed you to relieve the previous owner of it."

"heh you guys have some kinda beef? Yeah I get it now, you just wanted to take something he enjoyed a bit of revenge. I can dig that."

"Ah small minds and limited comprehension, That's what I love about mortals.  No dear it was nothing so petty, it was just a spark to light a flame.

Shanara had no idea what he meant bu his tone and the fact that he had called her "Mortal" was enough of a Que to get the hell out before thjings got weird, but there was one lingering question she couldn't resist.

"Say, how did you know that wasn't a fake?  I had more than enough credits to get one. Not that I'd do ANYTHING that stupid."

"Please child, I know Infinitium, and there's no way you could get your hands on enough to pull that off."

"Infna-what?"

"Exactly my dear, it's been a pleasure, don't let the door hit you on the way out."

This job just gets weirder and weirder still Fifty million? She was set for life!  Now to get as far away from this mudball planet as that kind of money can get her.  Thank the gods this job is over and the best part: There's nobody looking for her or that stupid sphere. The down side she could never tell anyone about the score of a lifetime.

We make it to Earth in no time and I hop aboard my new shuttle to meet with one doctor Emily Rajoone who can hopefully provide a means to navigate through the rift relatively intact.  Michigan looks more or less the way I left it a century ago, some folks have moved on shops open and close and change that landscape a bit but the streets remain the same and I can still find my way around. I had a life here before...before...the memory eludes me but that's how it is with memories about my life before I got here in this time. As I approach the coordinates to the University of Michigan I smile a little knowing that the U of M is still around even in the year 4389. Some things endure. I'll contact the good doctor and arrange to meet with her...hopefully she'll have some good news.

In the days during the war Obsidian mask was part of a 4 man surgical strike team.  Their mission: Go behind enemy lines and commit acts of sabotage, Surveillance, Extract/Eliminate high priority targets.  From Left to right 1st Lt Gwenda (Frost elf silent weapons expert), 2nd lt Nealson LtJG (SEAL), Cmdr T'ura (Demolitions Obsidian Mask), Cpt H'zarrik (Sniper). Only a couple of team member may still be living based solely on species longevity.  Together they conducted 125 missions and earned multiple citations and medals. They also saved billions of lives and though the war has been over for nearly a century their files are still sealed.

"Whatsamatter chrome dome? Somebody break your little heart? Cry me a river Luminesti, and honestly, grow up. How old are you 3-400 years old and still acting like you're 85?" The Dakkalfar's word sting, but I have to admit she's right.
"C'mon metalhead, I'll help you get out of that funk that you're in. This is my town and you are in for one helluva good time...asuming you'll step out of that armor, you know the one you wear on the inside and the outside." she says with a smirk poking her finger into my chest plate. Thus far the only elves I have ever interacted with were my own kind and honestly they didn't seem to care for my company very much, like there's something wrong with me, but this little dark elf isn't like that and I gotta say it's a bit refreshing. Maybe ...just maybe, I can let down my guard for a little bit.  It's gonna suck like all hell if I'm wrong though.

After some debriefing and a few formalities, I'm escorted to the medical facility where Ichio is being held. My old friend looks to be in bad shape at first glance but when I start to scan him to ascertain the full extent of his injuries that's when everything foes straight to hell. My scanner's go off like a five alarm fire:

Warning! Cybernetic activity detected.  Source: Maetriks type android. Recommended course of action: evacuation!

What the...

Before I can complete the sentence what used to be my friend sits up and promptly vaporizes everyone in the room...save for me. A machine roughly in the shape of a humanoid female shed's the skin of my now most assuredly dead friend and rises up hovering just a few inches off the floor.

"Query, one target remains...Interrogative: How is it you survive?  Conclusion...subject possesses armor constructed from Absorbium elements.  Solution adjust weapon signature."

"Say again little robot?"

It raises and arm and from it's hand flies a type of energy I have never encountered...one that apparently my armor cannot absorb, and it tears a hole through the outer layer of my chest plate.  Thank the gods for triple redundancies or I'd be as dead as everyone else.  Still the blast sends me flying into a nearby wall.  My on board systems inform me that all of the nano-control irises are jammed shut meaning until I get this suit fixed my armor is just ordinary armor.

"Observation, target has survived second assault. Conclusion target possesses advanced technology. Directive changed, capture target and assimilate technology."

"I don't think so."

I pull out my trusty blade and activate an "Erase Technology" spell.  Which to my horror does not do anything.   The machine looks at me and tilting it's head to one side says

"Magical energies are ineffective against this unit. Your technology will be assimilated, your inferior magical devices will be discar-."

I cut it off mid sentence with a single swipe from my "Useless" magical weapon, slicing it cleanly in two. Immediately I draw my pistol and atomize the remainder.  I'm only left with questions now...what in the nine hells, hades, and all of Niflheim, was that thing?  More importantly how did it manage to blast a hole in absorbium? Even closing the nano-irises wouldn't allow anyone to vaporize my suit...dent it sure but not this.  This is gonna be a problem if there's more of these...what did my computer call it? Maetriks?  I'm gonna have to make some calls and go through the computer logs of my friend's ship..assuming they're intact.

It knew my armor's composition, and recognized advanced technology...I don't want to think what that thing could have done if it had actually captured me and assimilated my technology into it's own.  It said "This unit" Meaning there are others and implied that not all of them are immune to magic. If that's the case, there may be more of them coming and some of them may be vulnerable to magic.  Rule 1 in this kind of situation always assume backup is on it's way.

I put my ship on high alert and contact Commander Drenek aboard the Radager.  

"Commander, this might be far more than a simple random attack.  That was a freaking ambush and it didn't make it's move until I got there."

"How could it possibly know when to strike? Assuming it wasn't mere coincidence."

"At this point we can't assume anything is beyond its capabilities so for the sake of argument let's assume it was able to extract that information from my my friend.  It certainly might be curious to determine whether the information was legitimate."

"So it cloaked itself from our scanners and gave off false readings all in an attempt to lure you here? To what end?"

"I'm not sure commander, but I  think it's a safe bet that it didn't do so without reporting what it was doing to it superiors."

"Superiors? You don't mean to say..."

"It said ti was a unit. implying more than one exists.  If that's so we can safely speculate that there must be some sort of hierarchy behind it otherwise why use the identifier "This Unit" why not  refer to itself as "I" ? If I'm correct and my logic isn't flawed, it's buddies are sure to come investigating, and we've seen how well they can blend in."

"Yes but you were able to penetrate their disguise, with ease I might add."

"I'm not sure which system penetrated their disguise but I will be looking into it and as soon as I am able I'll try to make sure all of us can do it. In the meantime I recommend locking down the station and evacuating all non-essential personnel to the planet below until further notice NO ships in or out lock down all docking bays."

"Right away."

Maybe I'm over thinking this, but I have seen a lot of horror movies in my time.   You know the ones where you're yelling "Don't open that door !" but the guy does it anyway, or the one where someone just has to ask..."what's the worst that could happen?" You know right before everyone is murdered by the guy or the monster?  I'm not going out like that for the sake of ego.  I really wanna be wrong...I'm probably right.

"I waited....I did...for over 400 years I waited but you never came...I had children that I watched grow old and die. The bonds that held us together made me immortal but I was outliving everyone around me no matter how close we were and while elves accept this as part of their life...I couldn't. So about 50 years ago...I stopped waiting. I met someone, and as much as it hurt...and believe me it hurt, I let you go. and on that day I started aging normally. Now I'm begging you, move on my love. Build a good life and find happiness. I know for you this is all fresh still, and I'm sorry. At the very least my darling you are free from your contract with the Black Mantis. A contract that would not exist except for my foolishness."
I start to remove my helmet to look in her eyes but she places her hand over mine.
"No don't, please this is already breaking my heart and if I look into your eyes I will lose my resolve, and while I know that's what you want, it isn't what I want. I'm sorry, I really am but this is how it must be. I will always hold a place for you in my heart." She turns and walks away with tears in her eyes...and there's not a thing I can do about it. Just like that the woman I loved more than all the universe is gone from my life and I have my freedom from both her and the Black Mantis.  Funny I really don't want my freedom at this point.

My upcoming novel "Rise of Dominion" finds Obsidian Mask embroiled in a desperate id to save all of creation from the Despot Dominion as he discovers a way to usurp the powers of the most powerful in the galaxy...The Infinity Man. Ironically the man who has put Obsidian on his trail is none other than the cosmically powered assassin The Black Mantis. It's a roller coaster ride of action adventure and even a little romance...

"Shall I tell you a story about the past, or the future? Will it make a difference in the good and evil in the world?  Will it give me back all that I have sacrificed? Will it make any of my sacrifices matter? No. I will instead tell you who, or rather what, I am. I am a hunter like the great cats whose blood courses through my veins, I am a warrior and a soldier created by science to stop a weapon they created. I have no love, no kin, no home...I have my pride and they have me...we are all that is left of our world. Hurled forward in time to face the horrors of the future only to find our greatest accomplishment undone by  happenstance.  The weapon I thought I destroyed...that I was created to destroy, yet lives only now he has the resources of this time to wreak havoc unparalleled in the annals of history, but he is no raving madman any longer. No he is sane and calculating now, meticulous and clear of mind and purpose, and the destruction of the planet Earth is all he desires. He hates me and hates this world though the ones who instilled that hatred have been gone for over two millennia.  I will never know peace until he stopped, my tigress will never have my heart until he is stopped...we will never know happiness until the day I place his head upon a pike and know for certain that he is not coming back.  The world my pride and I are in is one of advanced technology and powerful magic and there are so many ways he can slip through our fingers...so we must never stop hunting him...The Self Proclaimed "Man Eater" is more dangerous now than ever before. And until he is dead and buried I will never know peace and can never rest. While I may be a man out of time but I my DNA has been engineered so that I adapt quickly...my whole life has been engineered up till now. I can see in the deepest darkness, I can hear the heartbeat of my foes as I stalk them from the shadows. I can even smell their fear as they cower behind false bravado. I can even tear steel apart with my bare hands but...this is all there is for me...so long as he lives. I have sworn never to take a life where I can prevent it but Man Eater's life has long been forfeit. When we next meet I will try with all that is in me to tear his still beating heart from his chest, and show it to him before death takes him.  The past, the future...neither matters. So long as he lives I can never have a life beyond the hunt.

Emerson Davis was once an ordinary man, and archaeologist by profession and a veteran soldier he was content to live his life in pursuit of ancient Egyptian ruins.  He was utterly fascinated by the beings of the Egyptian pantheon and after defending a dig site which was later discovered to be a former temple of the goddess Bast, he was approached by the Goddess Herself...in person no less.  He was offered to opportunity to learn about the Egyptian gods firsthand as Bast's Scion. The offer was too good to turn down so he accepted. Bast has bestowed him great powers and the name "The Great Mau" the cat king.  Mau possesses abilities  inherent to all cats, Strength, Agility, Night vision, enhanced senses, and the ability to communicate with and command cats.  Mau's armor is divine in nature and repairs itself each sunrise.  Mau goes where Bast commands and defends her (and the other god's of Egypt when asked) temples on whatever world they may be. Mau has a few loyal followers on every world where cats exist even on Katara, and Heigara...he Cannot command sentient cats but he can "Enthrall" them.  Mau dares not abuse his power as what the gods give they can surely take away.  Mau is a deadly hand to hand fighter and his claws are considered highly magical for purposes of what they can affect.  Mau has many weapons at his disposal both convention and not-so-conventional.  He is familiar with P.R.I.D.E. and their leader Panterra and is not impressed with man's genetic dabbling, although secretly he is envious of the power they possess as it, to some degree, dwarfs his own.  he is friendly towards them enough so that there is no ill will. Panterra and the others have a great respect for both Mau and bast though they bend their knee to neither.

Our arrival at the system that is home to the Ghost Planet is quick but none of the stories I  have read or been told have prepared me in any way for what I see on my main view screen. Derelict ships of every size and shape imaginable drift lifelessly throughout the sector, their crews long gone or dead. Many of the ships predate known space travel and still other are designs unknown in this galaxy.  A feeling of foreboding permeates the Sable as we navigate the floating wreckage of this starship graveyard. As we clear a massive destroyer the likes of which would make the Sathari envious I see the the vortex. A beam of energy connects it to the planet below and something immediately grabs my attention: Fully half of the planet has been torn away from the core creating and asteroid field as treacherous as any I have ever navigated. Every story and very once of research I have been privy to describes the planet as whole but with a thin atmosphere yet the planet before me has clearly been torn asunder and what atmosphere remains reads as thick and breathable.  I call the senior officers to my briefing room along with Dr. Omega and his assistant to discuss this turn of events before we proceed.

Assembled around the conference table is The Doctor, Fred, The sage Caewon, Shadawar my first officer, and Sabrina my newly acquired chief engineer.  The vertical windows in the back of the room clearly show the destruction and devastation we are about to address,

"Ladies and Gentlemen as you can see we have something of a problem, we are at the correct coordinates but a planet that should be in one piece clearly is not and we need to know why before we get and closer to that vortex which is dangerous enough on it's own. Doctor have you seen anything like in your travels?"

The doctor looks ponderous as if scanning through his vast memories to find some comparison with his brow furrowed he looks at me and says

"I have seen destruction of this magnitude before but there are typically traces of high levels of radiation and ionization from the discharge of a massive weapon of some sort which would be readily apparent to your scanners.'

"True," Shadawar adds "However, none of our scanners cked up radiation levels high enough to indicate the use of such a weapon."

Caewon stares out the window, his voice barely above a whisper, he says: "If one was simply going to demolish a planet then why bother replenishing the atmosphere?  It doesn't make sense."

"I agree with Caewon's assessment, it wouldn't make sense unless..." Dr Omega's words trail off.

"Unless what?" I almost say "Idiot" since he stopped so abruptly but I resist the urge, if he knows something I want to hear it and the sooner the better.

"Unless that's not the ghost planet."

Everyone in the room looks stunned at that revelation, but if that's the case I'll know in a hot second.
"Chief Walters, I want you to luanch some probes to the other side of that planet and then scan the debris field and taking into account the various ships that are here. combine the data from the probes and our scans and see if there's enough debris in this asteroid field to account for one and a half planets."

"I'm on it captain."

"As for the rest of you, see what other theories you can come up with.  I don't care how far out they might seem.  If they're even slightly plausible I want to hear em."

Everyone agrees in turn and I head back to the bridge with Shadawar to help prep the launch bays for the probes. As soon as they're ready we launch.   as the probes pass the vortex two of the seven fired are snagged by energy tendrils from the vortex as they and are instantly vaporized.  The remaining five make it into position and we begin receiving data.

As the data is finished being analyzed I get an urgent call from engineering.

"Engineering to the bridge, captain Dr Omega and I know what's going on...beyond any shadow of a doubt.  Gather everyone in the briefing room."

Within moment we are all reassembled and anxious to know what exactly is happening.

"Okay Chief tell us what you got."

"We  scanned the debris field as you ordered and sent out the probes.  What we found was that your suspicions are spot on.  This planet isn't the ghost planet, and it doesn't match anything on file."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning it came here from somewhere else."

"How could that be?" Caewon asks.

"I'm glad you asked,  The planet we're looking at can only have come from one place and the probe data confirmed it."

"And where is that chief, please keep in mind my patience is thin"

"Quite simply..." Dr. Omega says, it came from the vortex.

This revelation is a surprise indeed...and for me only brings up more questions.

Shadawar asks "How can an entire planet come out of that vortex, the apagey ism't nearly large enough to accommodate a battleship let alone an entire planet?"

"No true." the Doctor continues, "What you see with your eyes and what initially appear on scanners is something of an illusion, when subjected to  tachyon burst the true scale of the vortex is nearly 12,000 miles wide more than enough to accommodate that planet. What remains of the ghost planet is largely debris and the side of the planet that we can see is relatively whole but where the two planets impacted is pure devastation. Still enough gravity remains to hold on to what precious little atmosphere remains."

"Okay then, doctor..." I ask breaking the silence of the stunned room. Where the hell is that beam of energy supplying the vortex coming from if not from the ghost world?"

Caewon interjects at this point and clears the whole mess up. "It's easy to figure out captain, the source of power is magical in nature." Gesturing to Shadawar he asks "Can't you feel it? That feeling of nausea and uneasiness like you're in the presence of something truly powerful?"

It sounds far fetched, a vortex sustained by magic, I have seen permanent spells that create light or other spells in place such as with swords and items of power even relics but nothing of this...sheer magnitude. Someone would have to tap into the very fabric of the energy that makes magic possible in order to do something like this. What were those fools thinking.

"So the vortex is self sustaining then? Regardless of any intervening forces even cataclysms like two planets smashing into one another?"

"It's hard to say for certain but I'd wager it's more likely than not given the evidence at hand."

Dear gods, what have I gotten us into.

"Okay everyone make whatever preparations you need to because we're gonna head straight for the center of that vortex and gods willing we'll make it there and back in one piece."  

I only hope I'm making the right call here because the alternative is grim..very grim.

So after my talk with the princess of power I decided to take action, I called my ship and had them drop off my personal fighter. two quick space folds later and I'm back...with a gift for my lady friend.

I find out from maylen -who is dodging Spiderman like Tweety and Sylvester- that she's exploring the mansions upper rooms.  I find her in one of the offices and that's when I spring it on her.

"Hey there She-Ra."

"Obsidian, good afternoon."

"Hey I was thinking about what you said yesterday and I had an idea."

"Oh?"

"I was thinking if I could make all of your problems go away, maybe you'd like to go on a date with me."

"Haha You'd have to murder Hordac before I could find time for that."

"Funny you should mention that, because I have a very special gift for you."

Holding a large box I set it on a nearby sofa and unlatch the locks

"I love surprises, what is it."

The look on her face is...well it's priceless. I'm not sure whether to console her or laugh hysterically as I present her with Hordac's head.

"WHAT THE FU--"

An F bomb almost escapes her lips and I realize this idea may go very south.

"What? How? Where? Why?...It's a head? Hordac's....Head.  Heads aren't presents!!!"

"Well you just said..."

"It was a figure of speech, I was speaking hypothetically...the backlash on this from his minions is going to be catastrophic!!! Do you realize what you've done?"

"His minions...Oh you mean his flunkies...no no no no no they won't be a problem....they're dead too."

"WHAT!!!???"

"Yeah I figured there would be a vacuum and nature abhors a vacuum...so I took out the whole system."

"How?"

"Antimatter Torpedo right smack dab on top of his palace and compounds.  Turns out Hordac doesn't have any orbital defenses so when i showed up in orbit it was like shooting fish in a bucket. Point and click really."

"What of his prisoners and other innocent people?"

"Transported them out before the warheads hit.  So how about that date? You don't have any obligations on Etheria anymore."

"But my friends..."

"...can get on with their lives."

"But what about..."

"Please don't tell me you're stuck on that archer with the heart on his chest."

"Bow?"

"Gods, even his name is uncreative...what kind of archer goes by the name Bow?  Come on, we're here now and there's no worries at home...you can-"

The look on her face I first mistake for rage...but it isn't it's LUST...I'll need to repair my helmet later since it's never been torn from my sui but she is He-Man's little sister...I hope she plans on being gentle...or maybe Adora?  Nope...she's going with She-Ra...hope I can walk tomorrow.

LOL All in good fun.t

The Black Mantis has asked me to accompany him to, of all things, a slave market. I despise slavery no matter whether it's legal in some systems or not.  

"What's the big idea? You know how I feel about this sort of thing."

"So there is a line you do not cross?"

"You know there is."

"In that case, you'll probably hate what comes next."

As we gaze out of the windows a massive Hadean drags out a small blue figure scantily clad in no more than a couple of flimsy cloths. As he chains the small humanoid to the struts on the left and right it becomes obvious that the creature is humanoid...and female. I feel a hand on my wrist as the Black Mantis stops me from subconsciously reaching for my gun. I hate Hadeans and this one I just want to kill where he's standing. I turn to the Black Mantis and ask:

"Why the hell did you bring me here? Is this some twisted game you're playing or what?"

"No son, this is a test to see how you handle impossible situations. You can't kill everyone here, many of which are innocent bystanders, but I'm guessing the do gooder in you won't let this continue either so now you have to make a decision.  Leave with your tail between your legs or..."

He doesn't get to finish the sentence, before I start bidding.  What transpires next has to make history...every stinking sentient that comes down the ramp i pay dearly for and have them transported aboard my ship to be returned to their homeworld or wherever the hell they want to be dropped of...with a few credits in their pockets.

The Black Mantis only wanted to see if I was a hero...Bastard...I'll be back here alright...and that Hadean...I get his name oh yes and one dark night in a shadowy room I ma gonna pay him a visit.  For now all the slaves are freed save one...the blue female from the first bid. One of my officers calls me stating she does not wish to be free...Dafuq?  What creature in their right mind doesn't WANT to be free?  I conclude my business with the Black Mantis and flip him off for good measure rotten bastard that is the last time he ever asks me for a favor, I knew it was going to bite me in the ass.  On board my new ship (I gave the Lillun to Harley)I am greeted in the EMT room by none other than the little blue...demon?  at only 4 feet tall she is gorgeous as all get out. Two small horns sweep backwards from her forehead and she's not wearing a stitch of clothing...this is gonna be one of those days.

"I am here to serve you master."

"Alright, which one of you brain children, let her up here, and naked yet?"

There's not the tiniest snicker from anyone...I am not pleased. I avert my eyes as best I can and order this ...this...demon to follow me. Jaws drop and eyes quickly turn away as I march her to a replication unit to be scanned and fitted for some decent clothes. I had the items to her an the look on her face is nothing but confusion. What the hell is so confusing about getting dressed I wonder...and no sooner does that though form in my head when she blurts out.

"You wish me to cover myself master? Will that not make it more difficult to pleasure you?"

One lone gafaw escapes a lieutenant's and without even looking I place a bullet hole next to his head...he either stopped laughing or I killed him, I don't check to see which it is.

"Little...what are you?"

"I am your slave master."

"No...no I mean...what species are you?"

"I am a Doajinn master."

"A say what now?"

"A Daojinn my master."

"Where are you from? Don't you want to go home?"

"Daojinn have no home we are bound servants, our whole lives are spent in service to others."

"Get outta here, you're kidding right? No you're not kidding...that's not how my life works, and I'll bet the Black Mantis knew all along."

"When you signed your reciept you agreed to take me on as your servant."

"Yes but you're free now."

The thing shrieks like a wailing Banshee I'm certain she could crack glass with her voice.

"Alright, alright, alright, ENOUGH!!!"

as the sound dies and my hearing returns, and the bleeding eardrums stop...she starts crying...Black Mantis...I will repay this you sonofabitch.

"Alright kid that's enough shrieking you can be my...grrr...servant,. There are some rules though."

she smiles like a child, but I know better. As a demon she is quite possibly thousands of years old. I wonder how Moonshadow is going to take this? UGH I'm really beginning to hate my in laws.

Okay so this took some doing and all costume credit goes to ATRION over at ShareCG.com but in any event here is my version of the Fantastic Four and they weren't easy to reproduce. Ben's skin is a custom displacement and texture, as is The Human Torch's Reed was the easiest to do with some parameter tweaking. Of course that is the same Sue Storm from my previous render as is Doom. Enjoy.

...The shock on her face would be priceless if I could see it, as I catch her Psi-blade with my gauntleted hand and run her through with my sword. Falling to her knees she releases her blade and it drops to the ground. I kick it away and turn to grab my armor and that’s when she crosses the line.

“I should have killed your whore and your two bastards when I had the chance. Run while you can I will find you and I will slaughter your woman and children while you watch helplessly!”

The words stop me dead in my tracks. I look at Anihilus who just hangs his head, I would have spared his sister out of respect for him, but he knows I can’t do that now. He simply looks away as I turn around to face Malice.

“You stupid bitch,” I say incredulously, “I would have let you live. Why couldn't you just shut the fuck up?”

Staring from the escape module Obsidian can only watch helplessly as his ship battles with its last breath eventually ramming the Ferusian cruiser destroying both ships and any aboard...
This is a chapter scene from my upcoming novel.

For those of you who have NOT been paying attention, Obsidian Mask recently killed the God Apophis and thus acquired his responsibilities and powers.  The scene you are looking at is a meeting between Obsidian (as the god of Evil) and an elder God. The forgotten ones, the old ones, they have many names are often thought to be powerful demons but they are Elders of the Universe and possesses far more power than some mere god. Fortunately Obsidian is no MERE anything.  In this meeting he is being tasked to gather what allies he can and defend his universe in a battle of the multiverse...the winner of this contest...gets to LIVE.  Surely we will be seeing the most formidable of beings when this occurs but will Obsidian be able to save his own universe and will he do it at the cost of countless others? This story coming soon.  BTW those are little humans at his feet...being supersized is sort of a god thing.

There was a time when The being known as Raven Silverspear was mortal, yes mortal, but moreover Raven was...a man.  Dragons are dangerous creatures, even in death their magics can be devastating.  Raven has fought one long ago and it left a curse alright, a form of lycanthropy.  Not controlled by the phases of the moon like some common werewolf, no this would be far more insidious.  Passion was the trigger be it rage or love, even lust, and yes fear. In those moments Raven would lose control and transform into a massive dragon-man of incredible power.  However, after a time one can learn to control such power and Raven had done just that...with a single side effect.  The dragon spirit that possessed him was female and had a mind of it's own.  She tried to take over as often as possible constantly pressing to be set free.  But Raven was a man and a manly man at that and the few times the dragon won the transformation spread to his human form making him a very beautiful woman, albeit a very manly woman.  Time and again he would best this curse and the dragon spirit would find new ways to assert itself. Today however is the last of those battles, the dragon has won.  Raven's memories would be the final victim as the dragon within replaced those precious moments and transform them so that every memory would seem to be from the perspective of a female. One by one minute by minute the struggle would be futile until all that remained was of the man Named Raven was the tear he shed at the loss of who he was. With the transformation complete Raven and the dragon would be merged forevermore into one mind, and her true power would be realized. Now a god can defeat a simple dragon curse but when one is born mortal all aspects of the mortal coil become enhanced to godly levels, and had Raven been aware of that she certainly would have been rid of this curse a long time ago.  Unfortunately what is done is done.

As she gazes at her reflection in the water a loud chirp of a communication badge startles her from her quiet contemplation.

"Raven, I said can you hear me? Is everything okay? You've missed your watch."

The voice belonged to Norjaguar, her long time friend and confidant she remembered she was supposed to relieve him at the watchtower and heavens, she was very late indeed.

"I-I am sorry I don't know what came over me I'll be right there."

"Is everything okay? I was getting a bit worried for a second."

""No I'm find I'll be right there."

With less effort than it takes a mortal to breath Raven is instantly teleported hundreds of miles to the Watchtower, Norjaguar's massive 7 foot felinesque frame is hunched over looking at monitors, diligently scanning for anything that might wish them harm...and woe to any such being for the would surely rue the day they were born for any such foolishness....there are things in this universe far worse than death, and they knew all of them well. Security had been tightened following the theft of a very important relic and now the once complacent beings found themselves on edge awaiting the return of an enemy that nearly destroyed them all.  Clearing her throat the lithe form of the now sultry goddess walked into the room, were his eyes not glued to the monitors Norjaguar would surely have noticed the change in body language and motion. However, something had his full attention, something distressing.

"What're you looking cat?"

"I'm not sure.  Sentry give me a magnified view of sector 13971.9 mark 881.2 and place it on the main viewer."

"Aye sir."

"What is that Jag?" Raven was truly puzzled by the image before her and couldn't make heads or tails of the twisted and deformed object before her but something about it seemed....familiar..

"Enhance the image!"

"Aye sir."

As the blurred image cleared it became frighteningly obvious what it was and a wave of terror raven had not felt in centuries washed over her.

"Is that-Is that the Black Mantis's ship?"

"It can't be, his ship is constructed of pure infinitium.  It's indestructible. What could do THAT to infinitium?"

The twisted and mangled form of the tiny fighter floated lifelessly through the emptiness of space it's lone passenger barely clinging to life.  There is no mortal weapon that could possibly harm the indestructible metal that the ship is composed of which means only one thing...There old enemy has returned.

"Thunderbird, are you there?"

Thunderbird is the lord of the skies and all the things that fly pay homage to him and pray for safe travels, but today...today he will be fulff

"Yeah I'm here. Wassup?"

"Rescue, now, urgent."

"Give me the coordinates, I'm at the airlock now."

"Transmitting."

In the blink of an eye the lord of the skies screams through the vaccuum of space to the wreckage that was once one of the most fiersome craft in the galaxy, now however, it is a twisted coffin holding his friend fast.  removing him would be child's play however, the twisted metal is mangled together in such away that it cannot simply be opened and worse yet it is still very much indestructible. despite being strong enough to move mountains none  of these powerful beings are strong enough to bend Infinitium leaving only one choice.

"I'm going to break the windshield!"

"You're in space, doesn't he still needs to breathe?"

"NO he has more than enough magic to sustain him for now.  Here goes."

The canopy caves under the full might of the eternity crystals Thunderbird uses to enhance his power and he carefully removes the severely injured body of the most powerful of their number.  A large gash in the Black Mantis's side is deep enough to expose several ribs and he is losing blood rapidly.  

"He's not healing at all guys, and he should be healing faster than a troll on steroids."


"T-Bird get him back here as fast as you can."

"No I'll teleport him to the Doctor, she'll be able to do something."

IN an instant the tiny figure of the Multiverse's greatest assassin is aboard their massive starship, and the pantheon of gods remember true fear and doubt for the first time in centuries.

Captain's Log: Galactic Standard Date 02-18-4400.  The S.S.Infinity has been ordered to the Lunar sector to investigate rumors of piracy activity in the region. I have assigned my first officer Cmdr Williams, to take charge of the investigation while I coordinate with the local Lunari Authorities.  Over the last 2 days the only notable activity in the region has been the arrival of a Sathari Light Battle Cruiser we initially thought was here to assist us.  However I.G.F.W. Space Command informed me that the ship was assigned to the former High Justiciar now Indor, Rusco N'erdo.  Better known as Obsidian Mask.  I don't trust his presence here but the Federation has never had any real trouble with him so while we will be watching his actions closely, we will not be interfering with whatever he's doing here unless necessary.
