Welcome to Gaia! ::

(((I have that affect on people, thus how I have been able to gain the status of Queen at such a young age! (It was official by the time I was 13).)))

Zephyr stood at the helm of her luxurious ship, the H.M.S. Post, as it sailed down the road (taking with it power lines and stop light lines, as well as crushing cars beneath it that were unfortunate enough to not be able to get out of the way in time).
"Avast Maties! Where shall we make birth? (Aka stop at?) Ye know this city better than I!"
She called behind her to her newest crew members.

(I don't know, with all this chaos ensuing, I really feel we need Batman, or at least Robin in on it. Shall I find someone to pick up the empty position? Perhaps we can create a character who thinks they're Batman enough to take the place of the real one until they come back, one that we can in the mean time legally play? And when the real one comes back, shall we throw them a "Welcome Back" party?)

The Dark Knight hated coming out during the day. But he believed the occasion called for it. He checked over his weapons before heading out into his city, Gotham. Perfectly stocked, he would have to thank Alfred later.

It wasn't hard to spot the damage done by this new villian. They gave a perfectly good trail to follow and Batman was on their tail from the Batman mobile. It manovered easily in busy Gotham City as he followed the path of destruction while focusing hard on figuring out who was behind all of this act. Then he saw it. A ship.

His forehead creased ever so slightly as he stared up at the giant pirate ship.

(well we are going to win since the classification of this is silly and dark, which means bad guys win)
Is that?
Out of my way Zippy di du da! is that the bats?
He finally showed, up?
I knew he couldn't bear a world with out me, cool he must be sick of playing Golf and drinking margaritas, he finally came back where the real fun is... (yeah Joker wouldn't talk no one with respect Zephrey, not even if he had a million guns pointing to his head)

(Batsy we relly need you on boom goes the weazle))

Zephyr just grinned, "Ooh, I wouldn't have done that if I where you. My ship, she doesn't take kindly to boarders..." Zephyr informed as Batman was sunk into the floor of the deck up to his shoulders (think like in that Jumanji movie, only instead of having his feet dangling below he's completely surrounded by solid floor). Zephyr took this time to sit down cross legged next to him and poke him in the side of the head.
"Has anyone ever told you you're awfully pokable?" she asked casually.

Of course, the lack of expression only made him look funnier as his head swayed back and forth with each poke. She giggled at this,
"I likes you!" She said, wrapping him in a sudden hug.
"You shall be mine, and you shall be called...Sir Pokes A Lot! mrgreen " She declared grandly.
"Of course, now you've gots to apologize to my lovely ship here-" The ship gave an appreciative shudder at the compliment.
"And I'm sure she'll be graceful enough to let you up." Then she leaned over and whispered in to him, "An added compliment to her wouldn't hurt either..." She hinted.

That was the last thing to do. Zephyr gave a shriek as the ship lurched to a stop, vibrating ominously. Suddenly it flung everyone on board off of it, giving a sound almost like a wail before quickly sailing into the distance.
"Nooo, my precious ship, come back to mommy!" She sobbed, attempting to run after it, but when she realized she couldn't catch up she stopped.

A strange energy began to slowly encircle her as she stared after her ship, swirling and dancing as whispers filled the air.
"Do you...have any idea what you've just done?" Her voice had grown dark.
She turned her head to reveal slanted eyes with the faintest red glow, her mouth hidden by her shoulder.
"You could have just apologized, it's not that much to ask for your intrusion, but noooo. Instead you had to hurt her, though she'd done nothing to you." She turned then, and her teeth had become gnarled and pointed to the point of protruding enough to hide her mouth, effectively becoming her mouth.
"It'll take months before she'll return here!" She screamed, and then suddenly went limp; the energy growing around her, pulsing with life. She gave a violent twitch and then was still.

Then she looked up, and the look on her face was no longer human. She laughed a deep laugh, several voices escaping her throat at once.
"Foolish mortal..." The voices spoke threw her, "You have assaulted and directly offended one of our own and thereby you have offended me. I am the Shadow Force incarnate, and you will scream your apologies..."
It pointed her finger, and as it did the ground around them stretched and formed into grotesque, giant beings. Several looked like muscled ogres, eyes and teeth as Zephyr's had become, feet extended into the ground and hands with fingers like talons-blades protruding from the backs and arms with horns atop their heads. The Other creatures were a terrible mix of human, bull dog and sewer rat. Their massive front arms supporting all their wait, for their hind legs only developed to a shriveled mass. They had the head of bulldogs, with human eyes and hair sprouting in patches along their bodies. Their hands were that of rat's, the claws just as deadly as the other creatures' had been. They panted eagerly, and the drool burned a hole in the ground.

"Guardians," The Shadow Force addressed, "Apparatuses," It lifted Zephyrs' arms in a welcoming position, "You shall feast on human flesh tonight..." It smiled, and the attack began...

((Yah, long, and taking a slightly darker tone, but hey! One of the few things I tolerate is injury to my ship! Quick note, though it may take a while for him to actually be *clears throat* willed, into apologizing; once he does the creatures will disperse and I will return to normal, albeit quite a bit sleepy...))
