IN A WORLD
WHERE THE FUTURE IS OVERRUN BY NAZI GORILLAS
AND VAMPIRISM IS A VIRULENT PLAGUE ON THEIR SOCIETY
TIME TRAVEL MAY BE THEIR ONLY HOPE OF SURVIVAL
AND THEIR CYBERNETIC LASER EYES SEE ALL.

IN A WORLD
WHERE TIME-TRAVELLING NAZI VAMPIRE GORILLAS WITH CYBERNETIC LASER EYES
ARE ATTEMPTING TO INVADE THE PRESENT TO SECURE THEIR FUTURE
ONLY SIX PEOPLE STAND BETWEEN THEM
AND THE WORLD'S UTTER DESTRUCTION
CAN THEY STOP THEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE?

VAMPIRILLAPOCALYPSE
(brought to you by Mountain Dew: Code Red)

As the voice-over ended and Europe's 'The Final Countdown' swelled in the distance, the six person team found themselves standing in the middle of New York, all of them dressed in khaki green cargo pants and white muscle tanks (the girls more form-fitting than the boys').

It was a bright and pleasant summer day; the kind that would find suburban families barbecuing in their backyards. In Central Park, children tossed frisbees with their dogs and took idyllic strolls through the zoo... till out of nowhere, a flash of light filled the sky and a large machine landed in the middle of Sheep Meadow. With a pneumatic hiss and a release of steam the doors opened and out poured the most horrific creatures. Eleven feet tall and wearing the black outfits of Storm Troopers, the fearsome gorillas had one mechanical red eye, which fixed on the people and fired a laser beam, incinerating them where they stood. Those who were not incinerated were snatched off their feet and fell prey to the beasts' sharp cruel fangs, which drained them of blood before they were discarded.

As his troops were decimating the people, the leader of the gorillas moved through the people toward the police officers who were rushing forward to take them on.

"We are here to conquer. Resistance is pointless - we have already won, it is our destiny. Submit now, and your deaths will be painless. Resist, and we shall use you for food."

As Barbara found herself again in one of Mojo's trials, she sighed and tried to quickly assess the situation. There was a small group of six total (including herself) who were all wearing the same outfit. She recognized Roy straightaway, and so she assumed these were all refugees from Earth. Also, she instantly noticed the connection--they were all redheads. She frowned.

Of course, she didn't have long to worry about it when the Nazi Gorilla Vampire army landed. "I'm guessing those guys are the challenge," she remarked, addressing the group. "Alright, everybody grab a pointy stick or something and let's finish this." If it was just fighting, this she could handle.

"This is the most -" Roy let out a sigh of a guy who had been de-aged to a teenager, been stuck in some sort of warped wild west challenge, and was now facing down some sort of robot, gorilla, vampire things.

"Actually this might not be the weirdest thing I've ever had to deal with." Roy gave a philosophical shrug of his shoulders, and moved towards the fighting. There were some police officers up there that the gorilla things had taken out, and so Roy figured he'd retrieve one of their guns. Bow would be better, but until he found a sporting goods store to raid, a gun would work.

Mikaal had just started rinsing out the sudsy foam from the shampoo in his hair when he was transported to this new challenge. He was in the middle of massaging his scalp, in fact. He spit out a mouthful of water just in time for it to dribble down his chin and onto his... white muscle tank? He blinked his eyes quickly and blushed indigo when he saw he was smack in the middle of a huge crowd. His face shot down. Mik exhaled forcefully with relief, because at least he was wearing pants.

He was still furious. As if the gorram stupid flying sharks hadn't been bad enough! Also, in the middle of his shower? That was just rude. He growled and his sonic crystal hummed to life. He was vibrating so hard with adolescent-hormone fueled rage that he hovered off the ground. "This is NOT FUNNY!" he yelled at the cameras. He promptly ducked his head and glared at nothing in particular. If they gave Olympic medals for pouting, Mik's would have been one for the books.

He looked around to see who he had been teamed with this time. He noticed the predominance of red hair. It put a puzzled expression above his pout. But then the Nazi Gorilla Vampire army made their appearance and all hell broke loose.

"Agreed." he told Barbara. Honestly, he was hoping somebody else had powers beside him, but there was no time to ask. He looked sharply at Roy. Clearly he was jumpy. Mik thought the other boy looked vaguely familiar. He'd realize that was the face on a bunch of pictures at Dinah's later, when people weren't getting slaughtered by bizarre vampire primates.

"Yeah, me either." he muttered in response to Roy's comment, already flying through the air and blasting the attacking gorillas with his energy bolts. He aimed for the laser eyes first, but he made sure to give them a good pummeling with his concussive blasts as well. What? They'd dragged him out of his shower! Worse, he still had gorramn soap in his hair.

"I'm not wearing a dress, this is the best fucking challenge ever," Guy said putting his hands together and cracking his knuckles, "Gorillas with frickin' laser beams. Oh, this is going to be fun." The wild grin on his face said it all. Truthfully, Guy was really freaking tired of these challenges and ever so ready to start cracking some skulls. It was an advantage not being in a dress this time around, and also that he wasn't going to have to try to make some evil woman-man-thing get turned on. Yes, this was a major improvement.

"I'm going to love this," he said and touched the ring on his hand. At his age, the ring worked. He was a moron and an idiot, but that was nothing new, his will was still rather strong, all things considering. "Okay, how are we going to do this? Or should I just Leeroy Jenkins and get less talking and more staking going on here?"

Pepper blinked and looked around, confused. She wasn't sure why she'd hadn't expected that she would be taken, but she was completely surprised to find herself here facing... "You have got to be kidding me," she said aloud, staring at the... she didn't even know how to beings describing the things.

Not a hero, not really a fighter, she could throw a punch, knew self defense, and had a pretty thorough knowledge of weaponry - you didn't work for one of the world's top arms manufacturers for as long as she had without learning something - but looking around, she wasn't sure any of that would do her any good now.

"Wait," she said as the other people with her all headed directly toward the danger. Obviously they were all of the hero variety, which put her at a distinct disadvantage, but Pepper frowned. If they were heroes and knew what they were doing, she wasn't about to hold them back; she just needed to think of what her strengths were and do something useful.

"Who needs a weapon?" she asked.

Right now Babs had a tree branch. Granted, it was a big branch, and she'd broken one end to make a point. Still, she could do with something better. "Yeah, if you can get us a gear upgrade that would be, like, so totally awesome." She started towards the fray, only to turn around for one last thought. "If you can get that one guy over there and bow and some arrows, that'd be great!"

She ran past the team, nodding to the one brash redhaired boy. "Leeeeeroooooy! Jeeeenkinsss!" Yeah, if hanging around with Robin at this age had taught her anything, it was that you had to fight for all the best one-liners. Carefully dodging the lasers with her years of gymnastics and agility training, she slid between the legs of one of the massive gorillas, popping up on the other side of him and staking him through the heart.

Roy retrieved one of the guns from the fallen police officers, and took aim at one of the gorillas. So unfair be damn dirty ~~apes~~ gorillas had lasers and they had ... guns. And that girl had a sharp stick, and that GL over there well at least he had his ring.

The gun felt a bit weird in his hand (his hand felt too small) but hand eye coordination and aiming had never been an issue for Roy.

As for the girl who had asked who needed a weapon ... he glanced back to her. "What she said about the bow and arrows. Or maybe raid a grocery store, find a ton of bananas." Gorillas liked bananas right? Or was that monkeys? Were they close enough to monkeys to like bananas? Man he bet Lian knew this stuff, she was always paying attention when they went to the zoo.

All in all, Mikaal was holding up his own against their incredible foes, considering he was disoriented and was still reeling from the de-aging and some persistent cravings from his recent detox. Not to mention his teenage hormones were somehow running rampant all over again at the ripe "old" age of 36. At least the killer gorillas were giving him a group of someones to focus on and direct his anger and frustration at.

The slight redheaded girl shouting Leroy Jenkins, however, made him look her way. His eyebrows crept up towards his hairline as he glanced to the side for just a moment. It was long enough for a couple of those lasers to slam into him. Talokian physiology is tougher than human any day, and the sonic crystal in his chest hummed to life and brilliance to deflect the hit. Mikaal wasn't badly hurt, but he was still slammed into the side of a car hard enough for the windows to blow out and for metal to crumple into an alien shaped cradle for his body.

"Ow." was all he said as he extricated himself with a grimace. He growled and shot away in a rage. Mik flew fists first right onto one of his attackers, audibly cracking its skull. He was no Superman. He'd be sore and bruised later, but sustain no lasting damage.

"If anyone's got a plan, I'm all ears!" he shouted as he flew at another gorilla, blowing up its cybernetic eye just as it flared up to shoot at civilians.
