Judge Dredd - Journey Across the Cursed Earth

[Tibxo]

Dareth

"Hello, Charlene." he smiles at her.

"Is that for me?" pointing at Zcorr.

Charlene nods and a group of men grab hold of the surprised Zcorr and takes him struggling down to the dungeon below.

"Thank you." he says, eyeing her inquisitively. Although he has known her for a long while, he still feel uncomfortable with her. An interesting sensation.

"Charlene, I have a favour to ask you. I have some prisoners from the great Mega-Cities and my seers tell me that someone tracks them. A woman. She has some interesting powers. I want you to investigate."...

Charlene

"Hello, Charlene." he smiles at her.

"Is that for me?" pointing at Zcorr.

Charlene nods and a group of men grab hold of the surprised Zcorr and takes him struggling down to the dungeon below.

"Thank you." he says, eyeing her inquisitively. Although he has known her for a long while, he still feel uncomfortable with her. An interesting sensation.

"Charlene, I have a favour to ask you. I have some prisoners from the great Mega-Cities and my seers tell me that someone tracks them. A woman. She has some interesting powers. I want you to investigate."...

Dareth are you by any chance speaking of Inez? I will begin my investigation imediately!

There is something very odd about her though because she wants to torture Humes!

 

[Tibxo]

Dareth

"Excellent!" he says.

"However, there is something else I want you to do first."

"There is a prisoner down in my dungeon called Weaselly. I think he will be useful to our cause. You are legendary with your seduction techniques. If you would be so kind, I would like you to seduce him and have him join us."

Clicking his clawed fingers together, two of his hunchbacks go downstairs and shortly return with a worried looking Weaselly.

"Enjoy." he tells her...

 

[THEBRAT]

Inez

"As I arrive to within a days walking of where Judge Dredd and his clone are located"

I am also feeling another mind that I have not felt in along time The Name springs into my mind Weaselly and I sense that he is in gravely worried about what HUMES will do to him!

 

[The GrandMage]

Weaselly

Weaselly was feeling very poor. Chained to a wall, being ignored, this was bad. Thn, of course, two hunchnacks came, and unchained him, dragging him around. His eyes stayed downcast, on the floor.

He just didn't have any reason to go on. Suddenly, his carriers stopped, and he looked up, and saw....He stared. His eyes went wide, and his mouth opened and shut without a word.

Things just kept getting odder....

 

[Tibxo]

Dareth

"Welcome to my lair!" Dareth smiles sinisterly as he enters the dungeon.

"What's going on? Who are you, creep?" asks one of the Dredds.

Dareth didn't approve of the human's tone.

"I am your host and I expect my guests to act politely." he says.

"Let me go and I'll show you how 'polite' I can be, creep!" one of the Dredds growls.

Dareth goes over to him and grabs his chin.

"Oh! I bet you would. A warning, my friend. You wouldn't stand a chance. I'm not exactly human you know."

"Then what are you?" It is Humes who speaks this time.

Dareth looks over to the new addition.

"Don't I know you?"

Humes says nothing.

"Let's just say I have some very famous ancestory which allows me to be very powerful. I could easily snap off the head of a human."

He moves back to the centre of the dungeon.

"Now, I want to know why you are trespassing in my domain."

"Domain? If this is your backyard, I didn't see any fences with your name on it." a Dredd says.

"My, you are feisty one.", going over to him.

"So, 'Dredd'", reading the name badge, "Why are you in my domain, the Cursed Earth?"...

 

[THEBRAT]

Inez

As I make my way Silently as a Snake to where Judge Dredd is Located as I near the place I can also feel that Slimeball Creep Humes!

ooc I'm going to be gone for The Thanksgiving Weekend

Weaselly was feeling very poor. Chained to a wall, being ignored, this was bad. Thn, of course, two hunchnacks came, and unchained him, dragging him around. His eyes stayed downcast, on the floor.

He just didn't have any reason to go on. Suddenly, his carriers stopped, and he looked up, and saw....He stared. His eyes went wide, and his mouth opened and shut without a word.

Things just kept getting odder....

I look at the Expersion on Weaslly's face and I laugh so hard that The Castle walls start to shake.

"Little one why does the sight of a Fighting Dragon scare you so much?"

 

[The GrandMage]

Weaselly

He looked around. Finally, he just shrugged, looking up, the back down at the ground. Not a whole lot of point to look up, unless he wanted to die of fright.

"I'm not sure. Perhaps the feeling of impending doom and death that hovers around you on little bat wings? Or maybe it's just the big teeth..."

"I'm not sure. Perhaps the feeling of impending doom and death that hovers around you on little bat wings? Or maybe it's just the big teeth..."

I don't wish to frighten you so would you feel better if I Transformed back into My Human Form?

The Large Dragon Teeth are to be used only on the one person that I hate as much as you fear and hate him

"The one that cloned you is he also chained up in The Castle Dungons?"

You where his first experiment at cloningbut there was another before you

In that very first experiment he tryied combining two different life forms into one being but it backfired on him and he got something that he did not expect a creature that he had no control over!

 

[Tibxo]

Zcorr

From the shadows, Zcorr and Nexa watch Dareth in the dungeon.

"Sssso thissss wasss where your massster wasss going to sssend me?" it asks.

"Yes, my love." Nexa says, looking at it dreamily. A sympton exhibited by a female who has just taken it's seed.

It looks at the prisoners and see potential servants in the females. It feels Nexa pulling at it.

"Come! If we stay here, we will be seen. Besides, " she says with a lustful smile, "I need you again."...

 

[The GrandMage]

Weaselly

He shrugged, and just lolled. He looked around. Compared to the dungeon, this wasn't to bad. A nice rug, a few peices of furniture. It was down right homey. He sighed, and shrugged.

"Really doesn't mnatter to me. And yes, Humes is there. But I wasn't his first 'experiment' in cloning. He's done tons of stuff like that before. Common practice really. He's not even the origional Humes, to tell the truth..."

He just watched everything but the large creature. He didn't want to see it if it decided to eat him. Better to die bored than afraid.





OOC: Wow, Tibvo, isn't the plot roller coaster fun? Too bad about all the plot holes, though. So, any luck scaring up anyone else to join in here?

 

[Tibxo]

OOC

I'll create a OOC thread and see if that drums up any interest.

Not sure about what you mean by plot holes though since the plot is very basic: Dredd has to get his prisoner across a radiated desert to his home city, going through a menagerie of creatures, aliens, mutants, clones as well as the odd evil villain who is trying to break his prisoner out.

If you ever read the comic (2000 AD), then you would know that anything can happen and most often does so the sky's the limit as far as imagination is concerned.

Glad you are enjoying it though. I would like other people to join since it would be nice if other people also contributed to the story's development. Not just me.

"Really doesn't mnatter to me. And yes, Humes is there. But I wasn't his first 'experiment' in cloning. He's done tons of stuff like that before. Common practice really. He's not even the origional Humes, to tell the truth..."

Yes "I know that you where not Humes very first cloning attempt but you were the only clone that did not kill itself"

and I also know that The original Humes could not fight his way out of a Radiation Storm he was a giant coward!


"You may look at me I give you my sacred promise that I would not eat you and Weaselly I have no wish to have Indgestion from trying to eat a clone!"

 

[The GrandMage]

Weaselly

He simply shrugged. This person made less and less sense every time it opened it's mouth. He really didn't care. Although, the odd echo that happened whenever he talked was getting quite annoying.

So, he decided not to say anything, inn the hopes that it would go away. "Yea, sure, whatever. Look, will you do whatever you're going to do already? I'm getting bored..."

 

[Tibxo]

Dareth

Slowly, he slides his claw over Dredd's throat.

"Well?"

"Ohhhh!"

"What was that?" Turning round, Dareth listens for the noise.

"Ohhhh! Zcorr!!!"

"Nexia! And where is my new prisoner?" suddenly noticing that Zcorr is not there.

Ignoring Dredd, Dareth hungrily strides out of the dungeon, swinging his cloak behind him...

 

[Tibxo]

Dredd

At last! We are alone! thinks Dredd.

Pressing the back of his helmet, its mike drops down to his mouth.

"Dredd to Mechanismo robots! Activate and free the Landraider crew. Zero in on my signal."

Inside the dark interior of the Landraider, lights come on as figures start to move.

+++Activated! Orders downloaded!+++

+++Mission parameters: Landraider crew have been taken prisoner by hostile force!+++

+++Use whatever force is necessary!+++

+++Orders acknowledged!+++

Then one by one, five fully armed Mechanismo robots leave the Landraider and make their way into the bowels of the castle...

 

[The GrandMage]

OOC: This is going nowhere fast. It's just us. I mean,....there is only so much to do.....

 

[THEBRAT]

Inez

I have arrived at The Castle it has been many years sense I was last here to rescue anyone.

I take my Hydra Ring from off of my finger and press it against one certain stone to open The Secret Enterance into The Castle Dungons!

 

[Tibxo]

Dredd

Suddenly all hell breaks out as the dungeon is rocked by an explosion, dirt and dust flying everywhere.

It only takes the moment for the dust to clear and standing in the middle of the dungeon is a Mechanismo droid.

"A noisy way to make an entrance, robot." says Dredd.

"+++Necessary! Mechanismo units under attack by Assassinator robots and castle security! Speed is of the essence!+++"

Which in seconds, the droid has freed the Landraider crew and, the clone and their prisoner Selina and are making their escape.

"Wait!" Dredd says

"Sir?" asks Samson.

"Humes comes with us. The creep is a known felon."

Without another word, Samson and Kenritsu free the semi-conscious bad guy and drag him along with them. The robot clearing the path.

"Robot! Recall the other units! Order them to return to the Landraider." orders Dredd.

"+++Order acknowledged and processed!+++" replies the robot.

Finding their guns just outside the chamber, the crew are now able to fight back with great effect, slaughtering a large number of the castle's inhabitants.

Soon they are back at the Landraider where two robots are waiting for them. One carrying a body.

"Weaselly!" cries out Samson.

"+++This unit found this one. Identified him as a known perp. Brought him along!+++"

"Well done! Now let's get the hell out of here!"...

 

[Tibxo]

Zcorr

The alien, in the middle of yet another rutting session with Nexia, doesn't even have time to react as two Assassinator robots bursts into their chamber and start blasting away...

 

[The GrandMage]

Weaselly

Blessed cool unconsciousness. It was such a relief. Too bad he knew nothing about it, or what was going on around him. Although he doubted he would be happy. Things just weren't going his way this week. Or year. Heck, the whole lifetime...

 

[Tibxo]

Dredd

The large doors only hold the Landraider for scant seconds and then it is free, surging into the night.

Inside, Dredd watches the view screen.

"Any pursuit?"

"No, sir!" replies Samson. "Took them by surprise I would estimate."

"Tell me when we are clear for weapons lock. That place is a hazard to travellers and I want it blasted from the face of this planet."

Samson acknowledges.

Finally...

"We are clear, sir!"

"Blast the grudding place!" Dredd growls.

Two missiles are launched from the top of the Landraider and go flying straight back along the path they had just come.

Minutes later, there is an enormous explosion, lighting up the midnight sky.

"Done, sir!" reports Samson.

"Good." is all Dredd says...

 

[Tibxo]

Dareth

Dareth is mad, in fact he is damn right furious.

"How can this happen? They are mere humans. How could they escape? Arrrghhh!!!"

Ripping his throne from the floor, he sends flying into some of his less fortunate minions just in time for Charlene to witness as she enters.

"And you! You let your prisoner escape!"

Before the dragon woman can reply, everything is suddenly consumed in an almight explosion.

"Nooooo!" screams Dareth and his body is blasted apart...

An hour later, silence reigns on the rubble which was once Dareth's castle, the harsh freezing air of the radiated desert has long since distinguished any fires.

A large chunk of brick slowly moves and topples over.

From underneath staggers a figure, black as the night around it. Only its eyes, red like hot coals can be seen.

The pain coursing through his regenerating body, Dareth howls out his rage. His long white teeth glistens wetly as he starts to plan on what he is going to do to Dredd and his crew...

 

[THEBRAT]

Inez

I just had time to burrow under ground before Dareths Castle exploded!

Dareths howl of rage over losing his Castle woke me up from my healing sleep so I got up and walked over towards Dareth!

"Hello Dareth" that howl of yours could wake up the dead!

It has been along time since I last saw you oh this is rich in humor I can tell by the look on your face that you do not remeber me!

It is best for you not to stay here though go to my Castle and when you get there tell them that The Green Hydra has sent you there!
