Obsidian #0

The Bewitching Bleed holds cruise ship the S.S. Saturn hostage in Lower Manhattan Harbor. Obsidian rushes to save the hostages before it's too late.

(This is a tutorial episode between Katt and I, showing the style of RP used in Silver Age.)

Obsidian arrives at the scene, assessing the situation outside of the boat.

Inside, civilians sit in frightful silence, glancing around nervously. Bleed's stone spawns pace the floor of the ship lobby, keeping anyone from getting out...or in.

Obsidian puts on oxygen equipment and dives into the water a little ways away from the boat, swimming towards it under the water.

Bleed circles the captain in the control room. "Captain, Captain, Captain, when will you people ever learn that when you all leave, I don't have as many toys to play with."

"We're not your play things, you sick child."

"So you think."

Obsidian reaches the edge of the ship and scales up it using suction cups. He checks schematics on a mini device and locates the captain's cabin. He scales as close as he can get to it and flips onto the ship.

Two of Bleed's molten golems witness as he flips onto the ship and attack him, both attempting to tackle him at once.

Obsidian jumps above so they will smash into eachother.

The golems crush into one another but the rubble then takes form into a much larger golem who then attacks Obsidian, flailing its arms around at him.

Obsidian struggles and attempts to kick the golem in the face.

The golem, being far too slow, is knocked back against the railing of the ship then falls into the water below.

Obsidian advances toward the captain's cabin, hoping to find Bleed.

Bleed senses her soldier go down and snaps. Several of the golems within the main lobby converge on Obsidian's position on the deck.

Obsidian extends a staff (like Robin's in TT) and sweeps it at the golem's feet.

As the golems begin to tumble, they smash into rubble and that rubble begins to form together into a large stone and dust tornado. When it stops, a massive golem appears with Bleed sitting on its head. "Peak-a-...who? Who the heck are you supposed to be?"

"Were you expecting someone different? Unlike you, I've done my homework Bleed. And it's Obsidian, by the way." Obsidian throws the staff at the area of the golem Bleed is sitting on.

Bleed holds up her hand and the staff drops to the deck floor. "Really? A staff? I'm sitting on a ten foot tall, two ton golem...and you throw a staff..."

"What? That's not the only trick up my sleeve."

The staff starts beeping quickly.

Bleed marks herself with her own blood and her eyes glow, the staff being teleported away. "No remote, not time to spare. The bomb's still on this boat but where, oh where?" She then smiles, licking the blood from her fingers. "You've got five minutes to find it. Wanna risk civilians going boom? Or maybe the boat'll sink. No tracking it, Sherlock. Good luck."

"Datastream, can you get a reading?" Obsidian asks into his communicator.
"Negative, you'll have to find it on your own."
"Dang." Obsidian throws a smoke bomb down in his place and runs off to go find the bomb.

Bleed suddenly reappears in the captain's cabin and scratches him with her knife sharp nails along his cheek before moving along to the intercom. "Hello dear civilians. This is your captain speaking. If you see any superheroes on board, I want you to kill him. Understand that?" She says a second tone in her voice hinting at her dark magic, brainwashing the weak minds below.

"Crap." Obsidian starts to search the ship.

"The clock is ticking, hero. Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock," she says, a tone of hinting in her voice.

Meanwhile brainwashed Civilians and Magma Golems attack Obsidian.

Obsidian hits the civilians with a low shock from a taser that will just knock them out, in the meantime trying to fight off the golems.

The Golems begin to surround him on all sides.
