Plan Of Attack

[Dark Nella/Nella Black]

(February 18th. Morning. Villain Meeting Thread.)

Dark Nella assembles a meeting in the basement assembling the group. Pinocchio, Dr. Smith, Scar, Duke Nukem, Phantom Virus, Dr. Inseudo, Queen La, and Hades arrive first.

"You guys should have got me. Perhaps I could have helped you guys slaughter them. Can't trust your own help these days." said Hades.

He smirked. Dark Nella was a powerful being perhaps even rivaling his power. He wasn't sure. He didn't have his legion of monsters and followers like he did in his world. So joining up with the guys seemed like a good idea at the time but they couldn't even stop a mutiny. He wondered what they were going to do next.

XXXX

Queen La however was furious at Shego tricking her and the villains had eventually left after some fights ending in a tie and others losing. She'd learned that three of their members Michelangelo, Goggles, and Dan had been kidnapped by the group as well. They'd also taken their captives from the Critic's army as well.

"What are we going to do about them? They took our captives and 3 additional ones from our army. We have to strike back." said Queen La.

XXXX

Dr. Smith and Dr. Insuedo both nodded.

"Don't worry. We're working on updating the security and weapons. Those fools won't get back in here easily. And neither will Critic's army." said Dr. Smith.

"Yeah. But La's right. We need to counterstrike and soon." said Dr. Insuedo.

XXXX

"Why don't we just blast them? We don't need to be fighting two armies. And worse our army has shrunk and Critic now has the larger one." said Phantom Virus.

XXXX

Duke Nukem folded his arms.

"The virus is right. We got to attack Critic's army too and weaken them. Kill or at least injure a few members." said Duke Nukem.

XXXX

Scar nodded in annoyance. Ruber had tried to kill him. And he would make the human pay. First Jasmine had attacked him with a whip and now Ruber had attacked him. He should have expected it. For now he had chosen to stay with Ask That Guy's army. He had no other place to go at the moment anyway.

"Yes. We must attack both armies soon. We just need a good plan." said Scar.

XXXX

Pinocchio was glad the entire army or what was left of it was invited to the meeting. But he had no ideas at the moment so just remained quiet sitting next to his mother. He had always been nervous around Facilier, Rita, and Malachite and some of the others who had left with him. But he thought Insano, Rodney, Mechakara, and Seven robots were friends and loyal to Ask That Guy. He guessed he was wrong again. He sighed waiting for them to form a plan.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

"Nella. I apoligize for being late but I have very grave news. There is a reason to why Facilier has some of his followers. It is important and very, very true. If you will allow me to stall plans for just a moment, I need to speak this out" BLS walked in depressed but his voice was firm as day. The lantern zombie looked to his allies and looked to the young boy. He sensed hurt within Pinnochio and hoped that this information he had would change the boy's mind about the events

BLS breathed before speaking "I sense that Facilier has used magic upon some of the followers. Insano, Mechakara and DarkHeart along with Seven, Rodney and the dog they call Patch. I may be dimmed by my compassion but I saw in Mechakara the signs of control. And since I'm a magic user I feel that I may be right about this"
XXXX

Ronno meanwhile was with his friend and shivering slightly. The attempted capture on him scared him and he was lucky to have made it out with Ask Thatguy's followers. He then widened his eyes when BLS mentioned that some of facilier's followers were victims of Facilier's rule also. The deer spoke up shyly but shocked "Are you serious? Are you sure?"
XXX

"I kinda have to agree with deer boy here. I mean I believe you but are you SURE that you're right?" Thrax commented, with slight disbelief. Well, since some if not most of the magic followers were gone to Facilier, it was hard to believe that BLS was entirely right
XXXX

"I would not put it past Facilier however we may need more witnesses to this claim, Black lantern. Has anyone else seen signs during the fight? We must discuss this important piece before setting out a plan to attack" Lord Vyce commented.
XXXX

Ask Thatguy pondered a bit. After a while though he turned to his beloved Dark Nella, and looked with her for slight advice. If there was one thing he would always admit it was the fact she had more capacity to understand magic than he did. He commented, loud enough for people to hear "My dear dark Nella, what do you feel? I feel that this may be true but I wish to have the doctor's head on a platter but in order to do that, I need to get rid of Facilier's true followers and get our allies back. So, what do you feel?"

[Dr. Zachary Smith]

Dr. Smith paused looking up with a frown.

"Mechakara's daughter Dark Heart attacked me and I could tell she was under their control. I was going to bring it up but Black Lantern Spoony beat me to it. I believe at least the robots are under their control. Robots can be reprogrammed after all. But as for the rest it's hard to say. Except for maybe Insano. He was your second in command and now he's joined them as a lackey? It was clear Facilier, Rita, and Malachite were the leaders of that group." said Dr. Smith.

XXXX

"You mean some of them were forced to serve them?" asked Pinocchio.

He paused worried about Mechakara, Dark Heart, and the others.

"Myotismon almost got away with me. If Duke Nukem, Phantom Virus, Ronno and Butters hadn't stopped him I could be one of their slaves." said Pinocchio.

XXXX

Dark Nella paused turning to him.

"He did WHAT?" said Dark Nella.

She frowned throwing a fireball at a wall leaving a huge hole in it. Nearly everyone in the room flinched at her display but she wasn't really paying attention. She paused looking over at Ronno, Phantom Virus, and Duke Nukem.

"You saved our son. The three of you and Butters shall be rewarded. Although I'm not sure what yet. I'll have to talk that over with Ask That Guy first." said Dark Nella.

XXXX

"Thank you. But we didn't do it for the reward. The kid's grown on me. They all have. And I wasn't going to let them take a kid." said Phantom Virus.

"Same with me. Although a reward is nice. Thank you." said Duke Nukem.

XXXX

Pinocchio smiled thankful for his rescuers before he looked at Dr. Smith and Black Lantern Spooy.

"Mom if they're right and some are enslaved against their will then they need to rescued with Michelangelo and the others. " said Pinocchio.

XXXX

"And they will Pinocchio. We'll make sure of that." said Dr. Insuedo.

XXXX

"Using magic to enslave people? Fascinating. But they still took our captives and some of our members as prisoners or possibly brainwashed some of them. How are you going to able to tell them apart?" said Scar.

XXXX

Dark Nella turned hearing Ask That Guy and Scar and nodded.

"The few magic users we have left. Hades, Queen La, Black Lantern Spoony, and me. Together we shall be abe to come up with a spell or something to figure out who is under their control. And then we'll try to figure out how to break it." said Dark Nella.

Hades and Queen La both nodded agreeing to the plan.

"I used to control leopards in my kingdom. I can notice the magic. I believe we will find the answer soon." said Queen La.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

"I would feel that the way to find control and stop it is combine our powers, if you would permit me saying so, Dark Nella" Black Lantern spoony commented and when Dark Nella responded to this with making a spell to figure out who was in control and who wasn't, he nodded gravely "Good, there is definite magic control going on, I hope we can get our true allies back"

He then turned to Dr. Smith and nodded, relieved that someone else was aware of what he was talking about. After all, he would need some clarification or proof of his claims. He then responded "We may also need a spy to get into our ranks. Spies have worked before, they could work again"
XXXX
Ronno was shocked over Dark Nella's rage, along with some of the other villains present. Thrax felt no need to comment and just allowed Phantom Virus and a few others to comment. However Thrax gave a amused and proud glance to his electric friend before allowing things to continue.

Ronno however, was humbled by the response to his bravery. He felt no need to be thanked. He did only what he thought he should've done, which was save his friend. Ronno stood boldly and responded "Miss Dark Nella, I don't need a reward. Your praise, Ask Thatguy's leadership and pinnochio's friendship is reward enough to be honest. I just wanna get things settled again and get rid of that jerk who betrayed us" The young deer then smiled to butters and pinnochio responding "I never had friends like you two, so I wanna make sure Dr. Ding-a-ling makes sure not to bother you guys"
XXXX

Ask Thatguy smiled proudly to the four rescuers of his son "Yes, Dark Nella and I will discuss the rewards for you. However your concern over our son is extremely appreciated" He then turned to Ronno and smiled kindly to him as well "You will make a fine steed and my son's relationship with you will progress to even higher friendship" He then turned to BLS and responded to him "Well, the spy needs to be someone new. It can't be one of the fighters of the previous battle, they'd be killed on site"
XXXX

"If I may, Sir, I would like to volunteer for this idea of being a spy. Mechakara and his children along with the prisoners are of my concern. If you need anyone, I am of service" Seven of Nine walked in the room gracefully and with humility. Sure these were humans, well some of them, ok a few of them, but she was on a side of heroism and these people were viciously attacked. She felt she needed to do her part now and damnit she would

[Dr. Zachary Smith]

Dark Nella nodded in agreement with BLS.

"So it's agreed. The four of us will work on a way to identify and cure the brainwashed members of Facilier's army. I almost wish they all were so we'd have more members to rescue. But I have a feeling most of them went willingly. I suppose we'll find out for ourselves." said Dark Nella.

XXXX

Phantom Virus looked at Thrax and smirked. He hadn't been expecting a reward and to be honest there wasn't much you could give an electrical virus so he shrugged it off. He was just glad to help. He paused as an idea came to him as they mentioned spying. He looked up as Seven joined them.
"Perhaps I could go with you. You could put me in a device or something that way you'd have backup if you got caught. And maybe I could mess up any of their computers or whatever for you. At least I could shut down Mechakara and the others if they really are under their control." said Phantom Virus.

XXXX

Duke remained silent pleased at the thought of a reward but seeing Phantom and Seven volunteer he nodded.

"There's your volunteers. The fewer people who go the better chances they'll have." said Duke.

XXXX

"He's right. The two of them would be perfect spies." Said Dr. Smith.

Dr. Insuedo nodded next to him.

"Yes. Hopefully, we'll have a way to figure out who's under their control. Then we can free them." said Dr. Insuedo.

XXXX

"So we have a plan to find out who is under their control, and two spies? But we can't let Critic's team go unpunished. They attacked us and rescued more of their friends." said Queen La.

XXXX

"She's right. We need to plan an attack of our own. Perhaps get some more captives or get rid of them. Even injuring them would be getting them out of the way for awhile." said Hades.

XXXX

Dark Nella smiled at the trio who were just happy to do it. But she'd find a way to reward them. They had helped save her son and she wouldn't forget that. She focused on the conversation agreeing to it.

"You're exactly right. That's why I believe we should act in two groups. Black Lantern Spoony, Hades, La, and I will work on this problem to get our members back from Facilier. But once that's done anyone's welcome to join us once we begin the rescue mission. I don't plan on anyone including Seven of Nine and Phantom Virus to be their long." said Dark Nella.

She paused turning to the group.

"Grimhilde and Ace won't be fighting for awhile that I'm sure of. Rachel and Lottie got away unscathed but they're not much of a threat. At least by themselves. Although no doubt the others will be protecting them. It's time to play smarter not harder. Snob is at Facilier's prison. Which means only Critic and Chick are their leaders. Once we take them out the heroes will be unsure what to do with their leaders gone. And we should strike before they make new leaders or are able to save Chick and Critic." said Dark Nella.

[Loki]

(OCC: I think it's high time I introduced this lovely man to the raid, enter loki folks!)

BLS was absolutely pleased with the results of the meeting, they would rescue and find the brainwashed villains and not only that, they would return the prisoners and allies lost to them. Now they needed to just get rid of Dr. Facilier and Critic and all things would be simple. Ronno was quiet as was Thrax and Seven Of Nine when the dicussions continued, though Seven Of Nine did turn to Phantom Virus in complete approval when he volunteered to join her. All villains wanted a say, however a new voice, one of power and secrecy, entered the room

"Apoligies, but I heard all this wonderful talk of war and revenge, as well as a smart idea of ridding heroic leaders. I believe this special type of fight for domination is in my interest" Loki spoke as he walked to all the people present. He didn't really need to explain how he came here, since a pile of smoke was behind him, implying he transported here, but his enterance was mysterious and full of unknown danger. Loki's smile was small but noticeable and he walked slowly, as if observing the people before him. He smiled to Dark Nella and Ask Thatguy, aware that they were the leaders and responded "Greetings, I am Loki of Asgard. I have come to join your ranks, I would've joined before but a certain man was already trying to take you over, which was a shame I might add"

[Dr. Insuedo]

Nella turned looking up to see a new recruit join them.

"Loki? The trickster god? It's a pleasure to welcome you to our army." said Dark Nella.

She smiled at him glad to have another powerhouse in their army with a chunk of it had sided with Facilier.

XXXX

Dr. Insuedo smiled at the man.

"Welcome, Loki. With his power on our side, there's nowhere Facilier or Critic could beat us. Not that they had a chance before." said Dr. Insuedo, chuckling.

XXXX

"Welcome. Glad to have you aboard." said Dr. Smith.

He'd heard of Loki and like the others was always glad for more help.

XXXX

Duke Nukem, Phantom Virus, and La smiled at him welcoming him. Hades, however, walked over to him.

"So you're one of the Norse gods huh. I'm Hades one of the Greek Gods. Nice to see another god here." said Hades.

[Loki]

Ah, so they knew him. And they welcomed him. This was nice. Very nice. He liked this place already. Well, either because they welcomed him or knew who he was, his ego increased a tad. He turned to Hades and remembered him quite well, Odin once told of Hades during his childhood even though he never had the chance to see him personally. It was nice to see him, and so smiled to Hades. Responding to them all he responded "Well, it is a pleasure to meet you all as well. Yes, I have mutual disgust over the ones called Nostalgia Critic and Dr. Facilier" He turned to Hades with a smile again and commented "Yes, another God around can be quite interesting. So dare I ask what plan we have so far?"

[Dark Nella/Nella Black]

"Well a couple of our members have brought to our attention that Facilier could have brainwashed some of our allies into joining him. So a few of us are going to work on a spell to break them out of it." said Dark Nella.

She pointed to La, Black Spoony, Hades, and herself.

"You're welcome to join us. Perhaps your powers could be useful in breaking the spell." said Dark Nella.

She paused remembering the spying mission glancing at Phantom virus and Seven of Nine.

"And these two volunteered to be spies in Facilier's army. We need all the information we need on their base. Weaknesses like when's the best time to attack. They took a chunk of our army when they left. Even if some are against their will they will be fighting against us until we break them out of it." said Dark Nella.

XXXX

"Welcome." said Pinocchio.

Loki looked cool although he was a little scary looking. Well a lot of them were. But some of them had helped rescue him and he was worried about Phantom Virus and Seven of Nine. If either weas caught they could end up as prisoners or worse. He turned looking at Raphael. He had both of his adopted parents here but Raphael's brother was kidnapped. He hadn't spoken much but he hoped he could help. he walked over to him smiling at him.

"Don't worry Raphael. I know we'll get your brother and the others back. They won't get away with this. My parents won't let them. None of us will." said Pinocchio.

XXXX

La turned to the group.

"Hades, Loki, Dark Nella, Black Lantern Spoony. Perhaps we should get started right away. The sooner we figure this out the quicker we get our allies back." said La.

XXXX

Hades nodded turning from Loki to the others.

"She's right. Let's get started. How about we talk in my room in a bit after we all get some supplies?" said Hades.

He smiled heading off knowing hte group would follow.

XXXX

La smiled excusing herself following Hades out knowing Loki, Dark Nella, and BLS would follow.

XXXX

Dark Nella nodded turning to the rest of the group.

"The five of us will be working on this. You have the floor Ask That Guy. We need to strike at Critic and Facilier's armies soon. We may not have a way to get the prisoenrs he's taken at the moment but we can't let them think we're going to take this lying down either." said Dark Nella.

She turned and left following the pair out.

Time Skip:

Hades Room:

Hades sat in his room looking over spells as he looked up seeing La and Dark Nella the first to join him.

"I'm guessing Black Lantern Spoony and Loki will be joining us soon. We need to find a solution to our problem soon. Critic's got the advatange with numbers and Facilier has the advantage with power for the most part. We need to take back that advantage." said hades.

Living Room:

Phantom Virus, Dr. Smith, Dr. Insuedo, Scar, Duke Nukem, and Phantom Virus were chatting with Ask That Guy, Thrax, and the rest of the assembled group.

"My spy on Critic's house has informed me Facilier and Critic's armies will be fighting soon." said Dr. Smith.

"Speaking of spying when should Seven of Eleven and I head over there. We got make it believable we want to join them." said Phantom Virus.

XXXXX

"Don't worry. Dr. Insuedo and I will be working in the labs updating our secruity and weapons and things. And working for another way to get them out of facilier's hold. They are robots after all." said Dr. Smith.

"Quit right. The power of science will save the day ." Said R. Insuedo.

XXXXX

"We gotta think of a good plan to hurt or kill Critic's army and also weaken Facilier's. Anyone got ideas? I'm fresh out." said Duke Nukem.

XXXX

"Perhaps we could stage an attack on Critic's house to attack the people left or steal his inventions or something." said Scar.

[Loki]

Hades Room

Loki smirked, assured that they indeed were coming up with SOMEthing during the attacks they had. He wanted to accept the spy offer but felt three spies would make it a bit obvious. Before he could respond though, the villains chosen to make spells left, they invited him to join that group also since he knew magic as they obviously stated. So, he decided quickly to be part of the magic team going to Hades' room and walked alongside them, giving another smirk to Pinnochio especially. Seeing the boy as something similar to himself, he felt the need to give a implication that he liked him. Then he walked to Hades room quickly. Once he was there he spoke his opinion plainly and with purpose

"I'm afraid I shall have to decline your invitation as a spy, Dark Nella. Not because I do not think I can do it, it is because I feel that the young woman Seven Of Nine and the virus are less suspicious than a god of my stature. Since you all know me, what's to not say Facilier also? However the plans of freeing the entranced allies of yours is one I am more than willing to help with and even give to the said entranced. So, Hades, I will assume you will need specific ingrediants of some kind or perhaps you have a better idea"

Black Lantern Spoony followed immediately after Dark Nella and said nothing more. His friends were going to be saved, and the ones who captured them would pay. That was all he wanted
XXXX

Ask thatguy looked to his followers and responded "Well we have two spies so far so we have the fact we'll get information on Facilier's ranks. As for what must be done about attacks upon Facilier and Critic, I do have to agree with Scar's idea. It may be best to stage a attack upon Critic's house"

"Why not just attack Facilier's house and frame Critic's place instead? That way Facilier will do the job for us?" Thrax commented

"So basically we're attacking Facilier but blame it on Critic? Sounds awesome to me but that's up to you Mr. Ask Thatguy" Ronno commented. Then he looked to Pinnochio and leaned into the boy's ear, whispering "Hey pal, I think Loki likes you already for some reason. His smile creeped me out though, what do you think?"

[Hades/Nikos Callas]

Hades's Room:

Dark Nella nodded as she listened to Loki.

"I wasn't offering but that's ok. I figured the Virus and Seven would be enough." said Dark Nella.

She turned to Hades curious about the spell.

XXXX

Hades nodded.

"We don't know what spell was cast. So we may need to make several antidotes and spells. Unfortunately there's not much on magic in this world. So we may have to create new spells from memory." said Hades.

XXXX

Queen La nodded.

"He's right. Magic is rare in this world and not believed. But we've got two gods, a black lantern, a sorceress, and a powerful entity. Surely the five of us together could overpower whatever spell Facilier, Rita, and Malachite cast. I've enslaved leopards before but never figured out a way to free someone from magical control." said La.

XXXX

"In theory you could be correct. We would just need the right counter spell or antidote. And I too have enslaved with my powers. Although it was mostly monsters or humans. Without knowing the spell though it could take awhile to make several counter spells and antidotes." said Hades.

XXXx

Living Room:

Scar smirked as an idea came to him.

"Why not impersonate them in battle? We can use magic, holograms, whatever. And the more damage we do the better. And perhaps we can rescue anyone they haven't enslaved yet if we're quick enough." said Scar.

XXXX

"The lion's right. It wouldn't take much for us to impersonate the hero guys. But we have to remember not to use our real strength or powers while we're in those forms or we'll give the whole plan away. It sounds like fun though. Count me in." said Duke Nukem.

XXXX

Dr. Smith and Dr. Insuedo heard Scar's suggestion and nodded.

"Yes we can make some holographic projectors in a hurry to disguse everyone. If we use magic they might detect it." said Dr. Smith.

"He's right. Science is always the better way to go." said Dr. Insuedo.

XXXX

"Sounds like it'll be fun. But I'll pass. I'd ook like a human I'd still be a virus and wouldn't be able to pass for human as anyone i touch would be electrified." said Phantom Virus.

XXXX

Pinocchio turned to Ronno as he'd seen Loki look at him before leaving.

"I think you're right. But I wonder why." said Pinocchio.

XXXX

Just then the door opened as two people walked in.

"I stumbled into this guy outside. He's pretty funny." said the first figure, chuckling.

He then turned to address the group.

"I'm Chuckles the Jester. Well Yellow Lantern Chuckles thanks to the ring I got from the Gatecleaner." said Yellow Lantern Chuckles.

"I'm Jim Hawkins. Nice to meet you guys. He said there was a war going on and you guys might need some help." said Jim.

[Loki]

Loki felt a bit awkward after suddenly realizing Dark Nella never suggested it but he went with it and ignored the conversation of that and instead went to focus on the plans of spell-binding. He nodded agreeing to most of it and let out a slightly annoyed frown. He was a bit unsurprised on earth there was no magic or spells involving magic. That, and the foolish humans didn't think Gods existed or at least didn't exist the way he did, but it still made him a bit irritated. Still, he was here to help and responded "I have plenty of memories of chants I could use, that way I could simply make ingrediants and such spells out of my silver tongue. As well as make the spells come a lot faster. Regardless I agree it will take a while so obviously we'll all need to as the humans say "Pitch in""

"Loki and Hades are right. We need to work together to get all this mind-control out of our friends' minds" BLS responded looking to his ring in slight guilt "I should've done something with this blasted ring. If I did something none of this would be happening"
XXXX

"Welcome to the team! We were just discussing our attack on the two rival armies. Make yourselves comfortable and feel free to join the conversation" Ask Thatguy chuckled to them before responding to the others. Ask Thatguy smirked again "For the spies they don't need disguises but I like the disguise/hologram plan altogether and we can use it for battles and whenever Facilier or Critic's army comes at us. Better our enemies to fight and kill each other than hurt ourselves I say, however we'll still need to fight anyway" Ask Thatguy decided, awaiting other responses from the other soilders around him
XXXX

"Maybe because you're the leader's heir? Maybe he respects you? I say he wants to talk to you someday but I don't trust him. He's a god of lies from what I heard. Sure he's on our side but Facilier was too and look how that turned out? I say you keep your eyes out for him?" Ronno said quietly as to not interupt the meeting, but loud enough for Pinnochio to still hear him

(OCC: Loki and Pinnochio thread later? That'd be awesome but it's entirely up to you)

[Pinocchio Black]

Hades's Room:

"Alright. Ingredients should be easy to get. Without magic we can get the fresh stuff from anywhere or steal them if necessary. It's not like anyone's going to miss plants or herbs and things like that anyway." said Hades.

Hades turned to address the group.

"Now all we need to get is more supplies." said Hades.

XXXX

La nodded the plan was going good.

"Sounds good. With our powers, we could gather ingredients from around the world easily since some of us can teleport. Perhaps we could make some teleporting potions or get technology from Insuedo or Smith that could do it. The more of us getting the ingredients the faster we'll make these potions and spells to try." said La.

XXXX

Dark Nella turned to BLS.

"There's not much any of us could have done without the right antidote. Anything we'd have done would have only been temporary." said Dark Nella.

She paused as she sensed two new arrivals and one holding a similar power to BLs.

"I think we have new guests. And one of them is a lantern like yourself." said Dark Nella.

XXXX

Yellow Lantern Chuckles joined the group as he'd been directed to them by his ring and smiled hearing Dark Nella as he walked in.

"Hello. The fun has arrived!" said Chuckles.

He honked a horn in his hand and chuckled. He saw BLS and chuckled.

"Hey Spoony! Didn't realize you died again. Guess we're on the same side now. We can be pals right?" said Yellow Lantern Chuckles.

He chuckled waiting for an answer.

XXXX

Hades looked up seeing Yellow Lantern Chuckles.

"When did the circus come to town?" said Hades annoyed.

Living Room:

Jim watched as Yellow Lantern Chuckles left to join the others to find a cure for their brainwashed friends as he joined the group. He heard their plan of spying on Facilier's group and disguising themselves to try to trick the two armies into fighting each other.

"Sounds like a good plan. But maybe you should have some back up plans in case they see through the disguises. Or if they malfunction or wear off." said Jim.

XXXX

"Well Dr. Insuedo & I will begin working on these disguises while the rest of you make your plans." said Dr. Insuedo.

"Yes. If you needs us we'll be in the lab. We have some repairs to make to it after the battle anyway." said Dr. Smith.

The two headed off to the labratory.

XXXXXX

Phantom Virus turned to Seven.

"It'll be harder for them to take me over because I'm a virus. But you be careful. They took oiver Mechakara, Dark Heart, and Seven of Eleven. And those three were cyborgs just like you and they certainly weren't pushovers. You watch your back when we're there alright. Mechakara would probably kill him if something happened to you." said Phantom Virus.

He chuckled as he'd seen how close they'd gotten. They were at least good friends, and possibly maybe more but that was interrupted thanks to Facilier's group.

XXXX

Duke Nukem nodded listening to the various plans and suggestions.

"We should figure out who we're going to disguise ourselves as. But the boy is right. We can't just rely only this disguise plan. We need to make several plans so if one fails we can have back ups. Any one got any other ideas?" asked Duke Nukem.

XXXX

Scar shook his head.

"No new ideas at the moment. My idea would be just to attack but we need a strategy if we're going to beat both of their armies." said Scar.

XXXX

Pinocchio nodded listening to Ronno.

"But how would we he know that? He just got here." said Pinocchio.

He paused as Ronno said he doesn't trust him.

"Maybe you're right. I just hope Mechakara and some of the others really were brainwashed. Mechakara was helping us train how to fight. I was starting to like him. I don't know if this Loki can be trusted but I guess I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now." said Pinocchio.

(ooc: Sure a Loki/Pinocchio thread sounds cool. I had pinocchio talk to raphael in an earlier post but i guess raphael's too worried about michangelo's capture and leo's brainwashing to notice him. Raphael hasn't really spoken since he joined the meeting.)

[Loki]

Living Room

(OCC: Raph still likes the kid, but like you said, he's in a dark place with his family. Best to leave the poor turtle be)

"Yeah but still. God of lies should ring a bell" Ronno defended, yes Loki was useful but that gave no excuse. For all they know, he would be a spy for Facilier after all, Loki was a magic user and even though they had magic users they weren't all that bad to Ronno. Loki arriving at the last minute seemed suspicous "Yeah me too but keep your eyes out. I don't want my best pal gettin' brainwashed like Mechakara" He sighed "I really believe they were brainwashed. No way DarkHeart and Seven Of Eleven and Mechakara would leave us without resistance. They liked us, I'm sure of it"
XXXXX

Seven of Nine winced slightly at the mentions of Mechakara. Virus was right. She needed to be careful in order to save him and his children. She really wanted to get to know him more, the feelings she had the minute they met were wonderful and the fact he was taken before those feelings were explained were a bit devious and anger-inducing. She turned to the virus calmly and responded "I shall be. I am aware of Facilier's efforts. Since we'll be seeing Mechakara on that side, I feel we will get answers from him too, even if he's brainwashed" Seven turned to pay attention to the rest of them

Ask Thatguy pondered over Jim's wise decision over not completely relying on diguises. Spies were taken care of, the plan was somewhat stable, now they needed backups to the plan. Ask Thatguy turned to the others trying to look like an actual leader and pondered "This is indeed a trial. Disguises don't last and our plan must be stable enough to win. I do think that simple attacks are useless, perhaps we need to wait to figure out what Facilier's bases looks like"

"Maybe. But we better damn think of a plan since we don't know now. I'm still open for suggestions since most of us don't have any. Gotta love these meetings" Thrax commented seriously before smirking to Seven "Virus is right lady, be sure to keep an eye out for yourself and prevent the brainwashed from getting, well, I guess more brainwashed if that's possible"

Hades' Room

Loki was a bit silent after his comment, agreeing to what La and Hades said with a simple look of certainity. He was about to add a comment when Chuckles entered the room. As professional and subtle he was, it wasn't hard to not be amused by Chuckles' enterance. It took a bit of staring for Loki to observe Chuckles but eventually the confused stare turned into a man trying to keep it together, as seen with his brightened amused eyes and his lip being bitten, trying to hold laughter.

No way Loki would take Chuckles seriously, he looked like a jester. In fact, he probably WAS a jester. Loki had done things in jest but he was a trickster, one who fooled around willingly and had plenty of pride and dignity not to mention one who was smart, jesters were PAID to make jokes, do pranks and well be stupid and when he was royalty he and Thor spent many a time laughing at their jesters. Eventually though Hades' comment was what got to the god and he let out a couple of laughs before responding to Dark Nella jokingly "I did not know you had jesters in your court my lady"

BLS was about to respond to Dark Nella also but saw the yellow lantern talking quickly to him and did take Chuckles slightly serious. After all, he too was a enemy of Spoony and that was fine by him. The black lantern, feeling a bit better and a bit confused, responded cheerfully "Well now. Chuckles. I do remember you. However I am not the spoony you assume me to be, I am a different Black Lantern Spoony. Regardless you're free to be allies with me, and get rid of the Spoony on Critic's side"

BLS turned to Hades with a smirk and responded "Oh leave the jester be. He could be of some use"

Living Room:

Pinocchio nodded listening to him.

"You're right. I'll be careful. It's not like my parents are going to leave me alone with him or something. Thanks Ronno. I'm glad I have you on my side looking out for me. You're the best." said Pinocchio.

He smiled at him before looking around. When Ronno mentioned he believed they were brainwashed Pinocchio nodded.

"You're right. The three of them would never let anyone take them. They must have been taken over awhile ago for none of us to notice." said Pinocchio.

He paused glancing around realizing some of the members weren't at the meeting and they hadn't left with Facilier. At heast he was sure they still had more members.

"I guess some of the others are busy. You seen Butters around? I hope he's ok." said Pinocchio.

He sighed thinking about the recent failed capture of him. He sighed.

"Great. I'm probably going to be stuck with a babysitter and hardly any fun for awhile because I got nearly kidnapped. Just when I was starting to have some fun again." said Pinocchio.

Phantom Virus nodded.

"Understood. Glad you're coming along. I'm sure we'll be a great team. I know Facilier's group won't trust me that much. Being a virus I could disable their equpiment pretty easy. It's you he may trust more being a newer recruit and your close friendship with Mechakara and the others." said Phantom Virus.

He smiled at Thrax who backed him up.

"I don't know how this will take but you keep yourself safe. I don't want to come baCK and find someone hurt or you worse." said Phantom Virus.

Jim paused as an idea came to him.

"There is another thing we should consider. You're only sending spies into Critic's army. Perhaps we should do the same to Critic. Use those holographic disguises. Come as new allies or switch places with a member or two." said Jim.

XXXX

"The boy makes a point. If we have at least one spy in both armies it would help us not only reclaim our lost members but perhaps gain information, and eventually may help us win." said Scar.

XXXX

"Yeah. Although my powers I'm still out for being a spy. Anyone want to go spy on the Critic's house?" asked Duke Nukem.

Hades' Room:

Dark Nella glanced up at YLC and shook her head.

"We didn't. But I guess we do know. A Yellow Lantern huh. Be useful since..."

She paused trailing of not wanting to upset BLS.

XXXX

Hades shook his head. He did remind him of his old minions Pain and Panic so he wouldn't be completely useless. Especially with that yellow lantern ring that Dark Nella pointed out.

"Welcome then. Although keep the jokes to a minimum kid. We're trying to debrainwash some friends. That's not a laughing matter." said Hades.

XXXX

La shook her head seeng YLC.

"Welcome. Some entertainment would be fun I suppose. But Hades is right. Now is not the time for jokes. It's time to get down to business." said La.

XXXX

YLC nodded hearing the and chuckled.

"I know we're trying to get some of our allies back. But that doesn't mean we should all be so gloomy and depressed. We're goinjg to get them all back. Then make Facilier's group for betraying you, the attempted takeover, and taking our allies in the first place." said YLC.

He smiled turning to BLS.

"So you're not the same Spoony then? I'm glad. That means I still have a chance to get my revenge on the other Spoony." said YLC.

He chuckled as he waiting for the meeting to continue.
