Welcome to Gaia! ::

"All right then. Then next stop China." he said as they headed outside. He summoned forth the armor and the dark armor enveloped him. He then remembered something. "Will Ms. Marvel be ok going at the speed we will be traveling?" he asked surfer wondering how she would be able to handle the supersonic speed they would be flying.

((sorry, short post. kinda busy.))

((not sure when Bee-boy will be joining, but he's welcome to pop in at any time.))

"Fair enough," Alfred replied as he began accessing weather reports and flight patterns in the area. He wanted to make sure they wouldn't be getting in the flight paths of any passenger planes in the area and be identified as unidentifiable or worse. Hostile.

"Good. Looks like there will be some calm weather today and most of the planes won't be passing the way we will be going." he said taking off into the air. As they took flight, he observed the world below that passed. An urban landscape quickly turned to lush forest and mountains then to plains. As Surfer requested he slowed his flight down for Ms. Marvel's sake since he was not sure what would happen if they went faster.

((if there's anywhere you want to stop in the country, feel free to say so. There's really no hurry to get through my storyline. Side quests can be just as fun as the main.))

"You mean the one that joined us before the assault on Apocalypse?" he asked as they crossed the landscape. "I suppose we could take a slight detour. We're not planning on taking him like this are we? I mean I can't carry him or anything and at this height, being cold blooded and all, he will probably fall asleep in no time." he remarked.

"It would probably be an interesting thing to see if someone were to notice." he replied thinking about how people would react seeing a flying dinosaur in the air. He chuckled at the thought for a moment. "Ok so where is he?" he asked.

"Well ok, if it won't be trouble for you to handle him while we fly." he said wondering how this would take place. He shifted his course to Arizona where they indicated the dinosaur would be. How hard could it be to find a giant lizard? He began to scour the various news channels on any information of his whereabouts and found him to be in the capital of Phoenix. Once there he found the nearest area for which to head to. The site was hard to miss. The dinosaur stood out like a sore thumb. Interface decided to hang back and let the others talk to it since they knew it better.

((this should be interesting.))

"You're in the middle of New York in a strange new costume. Get up, you're holding up traffic" Daredevil joked holding out his hand
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Surfer raced at a pace where Ms Marvel wasn't having her face peeled off like a cartoon. Using the information he got from Interface he made it Phoenix, Arizona in the time span of an hour which the rush made it feel like 30 seconds.

"We're in Phoenix, Is that mutant Phoenix here too?" Ms Marvel punned as she got off the board the instant the Surfer slowed down for a smooth landing and scraping up miles of concrete street. Ms Marvel looked around excitedly for her old pal, Devil Dinosaur.

It took Ms Marvel a while to catch up with the Surfer locating their little buddy. Everything was kinda hard to distinguish in color because she's colorblind. Even though the dinosaur stood out perfectly because he's a...y'know..a dinosaur.

Approaching Devil Dinosaur, Ms Marvel grew to his size and gave him a big hug. Devil Dinosaur took an aggressive approach and pushed her off of him and tried to bite her.
"Devil! What're you doing?!" Ms Marvel yelled as she held his jaws open from biting off her face.

"Maybe it's mind control or just scared? He's been with Hulk for some time I guess. Maybe Hulk's just an intimidating guy even to Dinosaurs." Ms Marvel said trying to wrap her arms around him and keep him limited in movements.

The Silver Surfer focused himself with the feelings of Devil Dinosaur to try and figure out what was wrong.

"Kamal--Ms Marvel is correct. There is an inconsistency in the brainwaves. We need to either knock him out of it or find the source." The Surfer climbs onto his board and tells them he will be back and try not to get eaten.

As Surfer left, Interface and Ms. Marvel were left to deal with the confused dinosaur. With few options available to them, he decided that the best thing to do was to knock the lizard out if it could not be calmed. However he had to be careful not to hit Ms. Marvel with any of his attacks.

Alfred we will need to find a way to subdue him without hurting him or Ms. Marvel in the process. Sue advised knowing that their current enemy was a former ally who for unknown reasons was attacking them.

I know, but what can we do? I don't want to blast him. That would just make him mad. Or worse make him attack Ms. Marvel even more. Alfred replied not knowing what to do.

Might I suggest we put him to sleep?

With what? A lullaby?

Dinosaurs are cold blooded, correct? Perhaps you can use a cold weapon to lower it's body temperature enough to that it will go to sleep.

You know, that might work. Let's give it a try.

Deciding on using less lethal weaponry, he maneuvered himself so that he was behind Devil Dinosaur. A small canister seemed to shift within his gauntlet as he unleashed a bluish white beam on the dinosaur's back. As the beam made contact with Devil Dinosaur's back, sheets of ice began to form and creep on its back slowly encasing a large portion of its torso in ice. With its temperature dropping, Devil dinosaurs' movements began to slow and weaken.

"It seems to be working." Alfred said as he continued to pour the cold mist beam. He wasn't sure how much to release and he did not want to kill the dinosaur from extreme cold so once he saw that Ms. Marvel would no longer be in danger of being eaten, he stopped.

Once they had taken care of the situation, Alfred noted a strong spike in energy in the immediate vicinity. Just as Bee-boy and the others appeared, he armed his blaster out of reflex, but after seeing who it was, he let out a sigh and lowered his arm. "Geez, don't scare me like that.....Wait, how the heck did you guys get here? And how did you know we were here?" he asked in surprise.

"Sure no problem," he said as he landed and noted that the dinosaur was no longer a threat. Its movements had stopped and was now sleeping, more or less. It was a good suggestion by SUE. At least he didn't have to resort to anything drastic.

He then turned to the others. When they explained the situation, he couldn't help but smile. He was really grateful that they decided to come along. It would have been a lonely journey on his own. And since he didn't know what to expect, knowing that he would have allies with him, it gave him a sense of relief and reassurance knowing that all of them were willing to help him.

"I would hardly call this place hell Bee-boy, though the expression is common." he said not knowing that Bee-boy had actually gone to the netherworld and back. When asked about what was going on, he repeated what he had told the others back in the mansion. About saving SUE's home world. Finding out more of the Dragon Force and where to find it. That it may be the only thing capable of saving her world from Entropy. However their only clue was in a museum in China. On an ancient parchment that may reveal another clue. Other than that, there was not much else.

We were planning to bring Dino along, but as you saw he wasn't in the best of moods. However I think we should be getting back on course really soon. If we really push it, we can probably get there by sunset. He then turned to Bee-boy, "Since you were able to find me and teleport to my location, perhaps you could probably use that ability again to teleport everyone to China. If it is too much to transport all of us, Surfer and I can get there on our own. Of course it will take a bit longer." he suggested. He wasn't sure when Bee-boy got this ability, but it was rather useful. He also wasn't sure the limits so he didn't want Bee-boy to exhaust himself unnecessarily.

"Shall we go?" he asked once everyone was ready.

((sorry guys, my notes were misplaced and I'm trying to find it. Forgive my generalized storytelling. I'll find it soon. Hopefully.))
