Issue 7: Night at the Palace

[sasqaricious]

Tally takes the moment to start moving behind Hercules as she does not want to go through the absorbtion process like she did before, being a little too scared of it.

[dakota]

Noticing Tally's reaction, Tabitha slid her hand to take Tally's in hers. She glanced back," It'll be okay, Aura." She said with a smirk. " Hercules is here to protect us."

[Renekin Skywalker]

Who's here to protect Gambit, hein? Gambit thought, watching Tabby and Tally.

[Dome]

While waiting for the flamer to respond DD cannot help but hear what Tabby says. He cannot help but role his eyes as he knows of Herc's reputation.

[glow=red,2,300]"DORMAMMU HAS BEEN GRANTED THIS FORTRESS! AT THE CENTER OF ALL CREATION, A PERFECT STRATEGIC POINT FOR THE CONQUEST OF ALL REALITY! TREMBLE, YOU LIMITED CRETIN AT THE MERE THOUGHT OF ALL THAT MAY BE ACHIEVED WITHIN THE DREAD DORMAMMU'S VISION!"[/glow]

Hercules leans down to the girls and whispers. "While I do appreciate your charming company, mayhaps one of your number might make a stealthy exit to ascertain the fate of your fellows and secure your....command center, is it?" He smiles. "There will be much time for revelry afterwards."

[Renekin Skywalker]

Gambit nods to Blink, and sidles over to her while Dimdumbu works his baritone. If she teleports him with Heather, then they could get things under controll.

Sure, Lady Mandarin's going to let him conquer all creation. He thought, wishing he could think loud enough for Daredevil to hear.

[dakota]

Behind her back, Tabitha released Tally's hand, then motioned for her to go, pointing towards Gambit at the same time. " Out loud, she said," And here I thought your reputation would be shattered if I left you to here by yourself. Besides, this goes south, someone has to try to watch your back."

[sasqaricious]

Tally follows what she is told to do an heads back towards the area to check on the others. To maximize silence she will use her flight and hover silently out.

[Dome]

Daredevil rubs his chin and he nods his head, "yes I could only imagine what you can do from such a place. My question though is... and perhaps you'll agree, why would your partners allow you to conquer anything when they have already set their sites on taking over all of creation to their own gain. I mean not to question you Lord Dormammu, I only wish to point out the treachery of those you are dealing with."

DD pauses and walks behind Fatale and moving her forward and standing behind her he says, "take for example this beautiful creature here. As lovely as she is, she was once aligned with your current partners. She was captured in combat, and that alone is enough for Lady Mandarin to wish her dead, after all the loyalty she has shown. She is no longer useful to that lot."

DD pauses and squeezes Fatales shoulder reassuringly for a second. He gave her his word he would keep her safe, and intends to keep it He steps out from behind her once again walking to the front of the group. Continuing on in his speech he says, "Your partner's goals seem to extend well beyond time and space and I hesitate to think it, but I fear they may be using you, and us. With us engaging each other here in this fortress they are free to gather whatever forces they require to complete theirs goals. Once they have whatever forces they need, there is little that may stop them from coming after you directly. Your ruling over all of reality may well be in the way, since their plans seem to be the same."

[glow=red,2,300]"HAH! BY THE POWER OF THE VISHANTI, THIS ONE WILL REVEAL HER SECRETS TO THE DREAD DORMAMMU!"[/glow]

Flashes of light are exchanged between Dormammu and Fatale as she stands in stunned silenced. Dormammu gives out a low growl.

[glow=red,2,300]"SO THESE MORTALS BELIEVE THEY CAN DECEIVE THE DREAD DORMAMMU? I, WHOM HAVE BESTED LOKI, THE GOD OF LIES?"[/glow]

"Who hasn't?" Hercules retorts. Dormammu blasts him in the face with another torrent of flame.

[glow=red,2,300]"SILENCE OLYMPIAN! YOUR DRUNKEN PRATTLING WILL AVAIL YOU NAUGHT HERE!"[/glow]

He turns his visage to look Daredevil in the eyes, clearly unaware or uncaring of his blindness.

[glow=red,2,300]"YOU HAVE ARGUED WELL, AND BE PROUD, MORTAL! HOWEVER IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SPARE YOU AND YOUR PITIFUL BAND, BUT THE DREAD DORMAMMU IS NOT UNGRATEFUL. I PROPOSE A CONTEST, OF YOUR CHOICE AND YOURS ALONE, AGAINST A SINGLE CHAMPION OF YOUR GROUP. SHOULD YOU PREVAIL, DORMAMMU WILL LEAVE IN PEACE. SHOULD YOUR CHAMPION FALL, THEN THIS FORTRESS AND ALL WITHIN WILL SWEAR FEALTY TO DORMAMMU UNTO DEATH AND BEYOND."[/glow]

[kurff]

Blink did so hoping the floor plan had not been changed. She suddenly cam up a plan..one that could literally blow up in there face.

Once clear and safe to talk, "Alright he wants this palace..We can set to auto destruct or have that chamber he's in to hold or at least port him out and block his re-entry, heather?"

[Renekin Skywalker]

Gambit looks at Blink. "No, we want to preserve the thing. Make it a wholesome colour, but don't blow it up."

[kurff]

"If he cares about this place so much he'll back off before letting it get destroyed. Then if tries again another time hopefully then will have a means countering magic or at least. be better prepared." she smirked.

"Of course he doesn't need to know the place is really NOT on self destruct, does he? all we need it the alarm and timer to be active, not the actual device it self." she added with a broad smile.

[Dome]

"Excuse me sir, do you mean that a contest between you and anyone of us? A contest of my choosing?"

[sasqaricious]

Tally still heading off to see what is happening with the others.
