A large cloud of black smoke then appeared near Arachnia and from it emerged Mother Dragon.
"Forgive me for not arriving sooner," she said to her colleague in the JLA. "I was detained by a sizable gang attack a few blocks away." She then looked at Killer Croc. "I see I'm not the only reptile making its presence felt in the city today." Though some of what the Mother Dragon said might have come off as funny, there was little emotion in her voice.

Wither here or in Gotham cops were all the same; they seemed tough with their little guns but once they saw the bullets only made Killer Croc more enraged it was a worthless effort. He plowed through the hoards of cops; chasing them around the street like a feral dog in a chicken coop. The stakeout was now a steakout as Croc had no problem taking a bite out of some of them and tossing alive and partly eaten people across the road. He tosses an injured cop across the street into a pair of glass doors. Most of the police officers had high tailed it. It wasn’t a bank robbery anymore but a blood bath. Casey then turned and glared at a shaking pedestrian who held a recording camera, he got too close and was now pinned between a pile of burning cars and the blood covered monster.
“You tak’n pictures of me little shit! I HATE photographers! GRRAWWRR! I’ll give you a story you WON’T forget!”
He roared and stomped closer; pinning him in a corner of burning metal. Croc grabbed and yanked the camera from him. He closed his hand, crushing it while looking dead in the man’s eyes and reopened his hand with all the broken, smashed pieces falling to the pavement. The man was unable to move and just stood looking at the broking bits.
“Here is your CLOSE UP!!!”
He snarled and bared his teeth and then opened his mouth about the grab the man and end him. He turned suddenly hearing a woman’s voice behind him. Hugging the pavement was a heroine, a little woman in black. And she just called him ugly, it was a mistake. He turned his attention to her and the man slipped past him and ran trembling and fell once or twice trying to go as fast as he could.
“That’s right; I ate all the Pigs n Gotham. And now I need me some more BACON!” He snarled and licked his large teeth and made a gurgling noise in this throat.
“Web?! So you are a bug. You know what I do with bugs? I SQUASH THEM!!!!” He said and lifted his foot and brought it down hard cracking the pavement. Swiping, as the woman leaped over him, he snarled and roared as she mocked him farther.
“The Only Way you’ll be kickn my ass is when I Flatten You With it!” He said and whipped his tail as he swung around. When he turned, he then saw two women standing there and he crossed is arms and he began to laugh slow and deeply.
“They send me their bitches? Do they think lil women can stop me? What a Crock Of SHIT!!! Don’t think that I will take it easy on you, Girlies. You call’n me a reptile, you haven’t seen cold blooded yet! Ya, I’d like to see you try and take me down! I could take you both with a hand tied behind me!” He was still laughing.

Everything completely stopped after she felt the bank shake, literally... she noticed someone turning into... a huge bug, that was who was shaking the building. Sherry thought to herself Okay... I may love studying bugs and what not... but that is just disgusting... It's like Men in Black all over again, but instead with a huge bug. Scheherazade was not about to have that clown, and that stupid bug thing take the limelight in her scheme. Sherry was thinking of a way to at least get rid of the nine-foot beetle when a random woman began to yell at Casey. How many more people are going to come? Where did those people even come from? Scheherazade overheard the spider-girl yelling at Clown boy's doggie. Hopefully the spider chick would carry out what she said she was going to do... and kick its ass, because as far as Scheherazade was concerned... should didn’t give a damn about that disgusting thing. But at the same time... that beetle was just as gross. Like where the hell did that nasty bug come from?
Right when Scheherazade thought that things could not possibly get worse, another person appeared from a huge black cloud. Why the hell are all these people here? Did they all really think they were going to ruin her plan? She was thinking of ways to defeat the ugly bug. Alright.... maybe bug spray? Oh please! That is clearly not going to work. It’s a huge ass beetle, it’s probably some experiment rat that is immune to bug spray. Scheherazade laughed at the fact that the beetle-human-thing was probably an experiment like she assumed.
Sherry then looked around and an idea came into her mind. Maybe she could use some help, she called her golems. Five spirits appeared and transformed into golems. The golems appeared within a matter of about five seconds. Rocks and debris flew from all directions and the bodies formed. The golems had a horrid appearance. They were disgusting, but Scheherazade had gotten used to them. The golems bodies had a horrible unknown stench and their eye-like structures located on their head like a human had a tinted yellow color. The golems immediately ran to attack the beetle. Scheherazade hurled her twin chakram with great force at the beetles feet. Her plan was to disable the pathetic slimy creature. She did some damage, but not enough to take it down completely. She felt like David up against Goliath... but instead, Goliath was going to win. The chakram’s bladed ends cut at the beetle’s legs. Scheherazade took out her rocket launcher and ran at the beetle but then slid in between its legs and was now behind it.
Scheherazade said, " I was really hoping that would have worked... but clearly it did not. As she ran to the left of the huge bug, she picked up her twin chakram glowing brightly. She then noticed Casey outside of the bank causing the chaos, like she had suspected. She thought to herself Hey, if I were a repulsive ten-foot walking crocodile who had not chance at love... I’d terrorize everyone I came across too. Scheherazade pulled out her rocket launcher and carefully aimed it at the beetle from a distance where hopefully the beetle would not see her. She thought to herself, Of course that stupid beetle is going to see me! I’m the only one holding a huge-ass rocket launcher... I need to use something else. She picked out a few explosives from her backpack. “ Keep it plain and simple sherry.” she said to herself. She wanted to first make sure that the stupid hostages didn’t try anything stupid so she set a couple mines. She took out her shotgun and aimed at the beetle thing. She shot, and missed. So she ran to the other side of the bank where she saw the reptile-dragon-shim-thing that was talking about gangs outside. She then hid away so the dragon shim and the beetle could not see her. Scheherazade aimed her shotgun at the beetle and waited for her golems to all die from fighting the beetle.

James's teammates Arachnia and Mother Dragon arrived literally JUST in time. There was NO way he'd have been able to take on all three villains by himself. Now was the tough part... divvying up the party. Luckily Erin distracted Killer Croc just in time for him to move out the way a bit. At this height he was still rather clumsy and tended to stay in his shrunken form.
Mother Dragon arrived and mentioned her encounter with a nearby gang of thugs. Gangs here are getting a bit too cocky after all the attention we took during the fiasco about Octavius.... James thoughtWe'll get things straightened back out though. While he was thinking the Silver Scarab obviously wasn't paying attention. The young shaman had summoned a few golems for him to play with and they were quickly approaching. "How could someone so beautiful, spend time with things so.... rough on the eyes?" STILL not paying enough attention James! he chided himself, she was gone. Then he felt what was the equivalent to a papercut on his legs and turned around.
He saw her running and tossing mines towards the hostages. Great... She's getting away. James pulled out what appeared to be a hi tech pistol and began attempting to shrink the mines, when he caught sight of something blue moving in his peripheral vision. Derange's grenade,which was possibly a dud he used to make a get away while the three heroes were otherwise preoccupied. "Did anyone stop the mop top?" James then witnessed the lovely young woman whip loose a shotgun, pointed at him!
Hoping to throw her off of him and prevent being wounded too badly he shrunk himself to the size of a pea."Can't shoot something you can barely see!" He shouted, flying towards her.

Mother Dragon revealed her retractable claws and stared down Killer Croc. Any false indication that she didn't take what she did seriously before quickly faded by the cold look in her eyes.
"Go after her!" she said. "I'll handle him."
Since James had already stunned Croc with the strike to the jaw, Mother Dragon decided to follow up. She ran, leaped, and used her wings-like cape to glide her down and kick him in the chest.

Post by Derange on Jun 2, 2012 17:57:07 GMT 1
Leaving the woman to her own issues Derange skipped down the hallway and into the office area. He had it in mind to rob the bank blind. Even if Sherry did blow it up and all the paper cash, he would still have the joy of leaving the electronic trail of a few scattered bills in the shadow of his devious deed. He started to sing the money song from Monty Python, he found himself doing that whenever wandering around a bank. He twirled around, skipping and dancing like a fool.
“I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas. I've got forty thousand French francs in my fridge. I've got lots of lovely lire. Now the Deutschmark's getting dearer, And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge. There is nothing quite as wonderful as money. There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash. Some people say it's folly, But I'd rather have the lolly. With money you can make a splash. There is nothing quite as wonderful as money. ...Money, money, money, money. There is nothing like a newly minted pound. ...Money, money, money, money. Everyone must hanker For the butchness of a banker. It's accountancy that makes the world go 'round…..”
He stopped in front of an office door and he kicked it open and barged in like he owned it. He was going to rob the bank blind and he didn't even have to blow up the volt and pull out heavy sacks of cash. This was the new age of doing things and he had it down pat.
“I better do this quick before I get blown up. Let’s see what kind of damage I can do here. LALALALA!!”
Derange sat down at the computer desk and popped a lollipop in his mouth. He pulled out his small blue computer, a few cords and some thumb drives and cracked his knuckles. He was intending to hack past the bank’s system. He typed away, fighting off the tight security system but it didn’t take long before he was able to slide into cracks and backdoor. He laughed as he transfers hundreds of thousands of dollars throughout his and Crocs aliases accounts and killed the trails leading to those accounts. Over a million dollars electronically were missing. He could have taken much more but that wasn't his goal. But now it was about to get a hundred times worse.
He then placed a virus into the banks electronic system which would scramble everything in their network and the important programs they used. The whole transfer system was a chaotic mess. The bank would never figure out which accounts had what amount of money them. The worm ran through the files, rearranging them and eating them. It was like a cyber tornado came down through the bank. All their information was ripped apart and their business and costumers were ruined.
"Now that I have something saved up in my piggy bank, I think I'll buy some shiny new toys! HAHA"
When he was finished he looked up at the camera which he hadn’t even messed with, he wanted them to see what he did, it wasn’t like they could stop him now. He gave a grin and a wave and he pulled out a gun and shot it. He strolled out of the room with his duffel bag over his shoulder, whistling and rolling his eyes all around like he had just done something very bad. He peeked the corner towards the action out in the volt area and smiled. Derange turned walked towards the big hole Killer Croc made in the floor which escaped into the sewers and under the city. He pulled out his blue rope and tied it to a pillar a couple feet away.
“Well, this looks fun but I’ll leave the lady to clean up her own mess. I’ve got what I want. Time to get the show on the road. Tootles!"

Mother Dragon was in a fighting stance against Croc, staring him down and awaiting his next move.
"So far so good on this end," said the Mother Dragon in the comlink attached to her eyemask. "Don't worry about me. I'll be alright." He continued to stare down her large nemesis.
"I hope," she whispered to herself. The Wiseman never told her about creatures like Killer Croc, but it was obvious she wasn't going to defeat him by over-powering him.

Sherry continued to run around the nasty bug and distract him. She noticed Casey fighting with Arachnia and Mother Dragon. But she noticed someone was missing. Do not tell me that... that stupid clown is such a coward that he left! How pathetic can a clown get? Sherry told herself over and over again that she was going to defeat this people. Then she assured herself that she was going to find Derange... and when she found him, their “reunion” would not very pleasant, at least not for him.
Scheherazade looked to where the beetle was, Where the hell is that stupid beetle thing? Scheherazade realized that the huge beetle was a shape-shifter How stupid am I? That thing probably turned itself into a mite and now no one knows where it is anymore... what a coward, not even willing to fight me. Now Scheherazade had to take care of the random dragon lady who appeared. She noticed the dragon just standing there... staring at Casey. Really? This was who was helping that beetle? At least the Spider chick would be a challenge but really? This was what I am up against? Scheherazade laughed loudly and looked at the dragon closely.
”So what I do? Clip your wings with some scissors? I see what you are doing there with Casey, with your little staring competition. Not to be critical or anything, but I have a feeling that your going to lose that staring contest unless Casey decides not rip you in half... or unless I decide not to blow your head off you slimey disgusting dragon.” Scheherazade picked up her gun and shot at the dragon and then ran around the hideous creature. Because she had been in the bank and then went outside to get at the dragon, police began to shoot as soon as she walked out of the bank. Scheherazade shot her rocket launcher at the police cars and blew up one of the police cars.
Scheherazade thought to herself Well, if they continue to shoot, I’ll blow up the bank and its hostages, I mean I do have the detonators right here... Scheherazade pulled out the Two detonators and held them high in the air to add a little bit of entertainment, she shot at least four police officers and three swat team members. She took a megaphone that had been dropped by the head police officer and said into the megaphone All right... all of you pathetic humans. If one of you stupid police officers pull your trigger, I’ll detonate the whole bank and kill all of your precious hostages and I’ll blow up the bank all together. So what’s it gonna be? Are my expectations of you humans going to fail me once again and the bank is going to collapse, or are you all going to listen to me? A man ran at Scheherazade to tackle her and Scheherazade shot the man before he could get to her. Luckily, she was standing behind a large flame of fire and no one could see her anymore.
Scheherazade did not hear anything so she assumed that they were going to listen to her. The fire rose into the air and the smoke floated about the air and it created a notably large smoke cloud. Scheherazade knew this would be a much longer day than she had intended.

(Ok, I have some a major issue with what is going on here.
How could Scarab see and follow Derange when he just left the bank and to fight Croc outside?? While Scarab is fighting Croc, Derange goes off to do this, not after, Scarab wouldn't see him because he left the scene.
Not to mention Scarab flees, telling the spider woman outside to run in the bank to take charge of all the explosives.... and now he's back after ONE kick to Croc to stop Derange's hacking? So he runs like a pussy, not save people's lives, leaving it to someone several yards away and then runs back in? That is ridiculous.
Your character can't be in two places at once! I'm ignoring your post, change it if you wish. But, No more bouncing back and forth. Pick a scene. Pick a villain and stay there and deal with it.)

He was about ready to show these little women something or two but suddenly another hero showed up, right in his face. He was kicked in the lower jaw and his reaction was a sudden turn around and loud snap, as he opened his jaws trying to snap at the hero as he shot by. His fist pulled past smacking into the back of the hero as he flew past, it gave him an extra thrust through the air, towards a glass window. Suddenly the woman took at kick to his chest. Casey was unmoved by her kick and grabbed her cape and throw her across the street. He roared; amused but surly becoming irritated. The cops so far had done a better job at trying to stop him. And they were all either dead or on the sidelines.
“Try That Again! I dare ya. Cause next time you’ll be miss'n a leg or two.”
Croc backed up a few steps and bent to the side, grabbed a streetlight. He roared as he ripping it from the concrete and gave a deep laugh. He swung it around and patted it in his hand like a club looking at her. He ran towards the dragon lady and rose it above his head and began trying the smash her with it. The light broke instantly and the pole began to dent and bend as he bashed it into the pavement back and forth.
“No Lady, you won’t be alright!”

What did he call them? His huge scaly butt was about to be kicked spider style. But what was this? Ok, Silver Scarab had a problem and now Erin had to save the hostages from being blown up. What was he having a size issue? She just hoped she wasn’t too late. Hopefully he could handle the luggage bag.
“I’ll be back to pack you up for Arkham Asylum, suitcase.” Arachnia leaped across the way and swung into the bank onto the ceiling and hide behind a piller until the villains eyes were diverted. She saw the blue haired clown bouncing away and the grenade that was tossed between the hostages. She flicked her wrist and yanked it on and hurled it a broken window. It exploded in mid air, making several other windows burst. The woman had moved away from the area to witness Mother Dragon, Killer Croc and Scarab but left an array of mines on the floor. If the people touched or got anywhere near them, the whole place would go up. The people were panicked and she knew she had to keep them from running.
“Everyone stay calm, I’m here to help. Do not move, I will be right back. I have an idea.” Arachnia said and turned towards the window and looked out. She saw the clock tower and leaped out the window to it. She opened the large face of the clock and hopped in. Stringing up some webbing she devised an automatic pulley-system, grabbed a couple parts and attached her line to the wall by the people. She instructed the police outside to help.
The nutty woman or clown would be back and since there was no time to take people one by one she crawled across the wall and began sticking the people to the pulley-system and hauled them over the mines. They were starting to come out the window and the police cut them down and pulled them to safety. She knew the woman wouldn’t be distracted long with her guns, so she had to make this quick and this was the best way.
Arachnia stood there as Sherry gave her announcement, clearly the woman had no idea what was going on behind her do to her distraction and the rising smoke. The last hostages were leaving the bank via web pulley.
“Really, I don’t see any hostages here. I think it’s time I wrapped up your little game, lady. " Arachnia said and webbing the weapons from her hand and threw them to the ceiling and they stuck.
"You have a problem with humans? Maybe you should pick your fights with someone not so human. Like the Justice league of America who would gladly kick your butt." Arachnia said sprawling out her spider limbs to look more threatening.
She turned seeing the clown about to escape and shot a web over the hole in the floor. "You aren't getting away so easy, funny man. You're all going to Arkham after this. Why can't you stay in your own dam town?"

(First things first, apologies to you all for hopping all over. I'll be going back to the battle with Sherry, since that is where I started.)
The Silver Scarab had to admit one thing, he was definitely out gunned. However, he was not going to allow himself to be outsmarted. The man beneath the suit, James O'Grady, was getting a little miffed. The one thought going through his mind, ALL I wanted to do was just check my account status! He whipped out a shrink ray, minimizing some of the damage to the bank's structural integrity before he noticed a searing pain coming from his ankles... THAT LITTLE --!!!! James shrank to avoid the incoming hulking amalgamations from her... waiting until they were all piled on top of him to slowly shrink away from the battle.
After placing a safe distance between himself, the hostages, and the golems to catch his bearings; he restored himself to his normal height of 5'10". It was obvious that there was going to be an eventual scrap with the creatures, so he decided to take the fight to them; releasing the hidden blades in his bracers as he charged towards the golems. "Mind if I crash your party?"

Derange had gotten what he wanted or did he? He glanced over at the woman. He smiled thinking to himself, wow she’s just as crazy as me, maybe more so. He turned after a second of having a smug face. About to hit the hole and take his ticket out of the bank, Derange pulled back when something struck his path way. The spider woman had returned and covered his escape with some web like stuff. Derange narrowed his eyes and stomped his foot. The woman would probably was going to blow the place sky high any time now and he didn’t want to be a roasty toasty clown.
“Hey! That was my escape route, don’t you know this place is about to blow! What are you suppose to be anyways? Bug brat? I stepped on little versions of you all the time. But I guess a boot or a newspaper isn’t going to work this time. Well… I’ll have to use... a bigger gun!”
Reaching behind his back he pulled out his Flamethrower, the tank attached to his back. He was not about to go to Arkham today or any time soon. Holding it out toward the woman he grinned and started to laugh manically. Firing the flamethrower, a line of fire shot towards her, engulfing the area and the floor. As the fuel hit and burned up rapidly, anything in the cross line would be engulfed and turned to a crisp.
“That should keep our freaky neighborhood bug brat busy!”
Turning to the web covered escape hole, he shot a short burst of fire so the web would burn off. Pulling a grenade off his belt he tossed it toward her, just another thing to keep her heels hot. Derange run the other way laughing and leaving spurts of fire behind him. He saw the Beetle was busy with ghosts and the Spider just got a hot shower of fire and a grenade to keep her occupied. Sliding across the tiled floor Derange came up near Sherry against a counter and smiled as he and motioned his finger.
“Um, I think it’s time we hit the road there pumpkin pie, we have some unwanted company as you can tell and with these types, they swarm like flies. Or spiders and beetles.” He blinked.
“Crocie can keep them busy while we bail!” He said and motioned to the escape.

Scheherazade was sick and tired of all these morons trying to mess up her plan. She shot at the Spider Chick with her rocket launcher after sliding under the beetle that had now changed into a man again? Scheherazade shot at the clown boy as he was escaping. She was going to shoot again, but decided to not shoot again, she was going to find him again and their next encounter would be very unpleasant... at least for him.
She burst into black flames because that stupid wench saved all of the hostages. She detonated the entire bank and the vault. First the vault blew up and the outside of the bank blew up shattering the windows. She then ran at the Insect man and kicked him in the back. "No." she replied with a smile. She sent two golems to hold insect boy at the arms and feet. They were holding him clutching his wrists. Hopefully he wouldn't break free, she could depend on those lousy golems anyways. The could break with a powerful kick. She circled the insect boy. "Who the hell are you? And why in the hell are you here messing up my plans?" She hadn't given him a chance to explain himself, but was growing impatient.
"I don't see why you decided to add yourself to the fight. You could have stayed a human, but instead you decided to be Mr. big and bold and pretty much screwed yourself over..." Scheherazade smiled at him and had the golems let go of him. She killed her two golems and then sent out a large golem. Suddenly rocks, glass and debris began to come together and condense into a huge golem about the size the stupid beetle man.She then kicked James in the stomach and continued to detonate the bank.
"Let's see how you handle that... I can't wait to see your bug butter remains once he and I are done with you." She laughed hysterically and began to set more bombs. She walked outside and immediately gunfire broke out. She shot at the cars blowing them up and continued setting and detonating her bombs.
She had finished detonating her mines, suddenly, the bank began to shake violently, Scheherazade walked through the broken glass nonchalantly. There were no living police officers to shoot at her. She walked away as the Bank began to collapse and fall to pieces. She didn't know who was in the bank and she didn't care. The bank suddenly blew up, half of of the building came crashing to the ground. Debris flew in all directions. Scheherazade laughed as she walked away.
