The Challenge From Beyond - Regroup

[cityship]

You're the ones who are good enough (or lucky) enough to be close to Escherville. You've had the good fortune to be scooped up and now you need to regroup and get ready to take on the Nightmare King himself. Time to reorganize and gear up as best you can with what you've got. The Nightmare King isn't going to wait for you.

Get moving.

_{((OOC: This is for the various groups/peoples who will be fighting the Nightmare King directly or assisting in that endeavor. If your character was in one of the Challenge from Beyond Groups, tag them in here! Feel free to do some tagging back and forth and enjoy yourselves. Please get tagged in by Tuesday night, March 2nd though, so we can get the Final Fight properly organized. ))}

"Yeah, since this isn't my first time as a team leader, that doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. I mean, I ran the Justice League (in a weird alternate universe future). It's just this team, the Outsiders... give me all of you guys in a single fight, I can work with it, improv some strategy. It's the fact taht I'm not seeing anyone else that worries me, and with my powers on the fritz, I can't run off and find 'em."

"Ergh, no kidding." Eon folded his arms, thinking of what to do. He was surprised that he hadn't timed out by now, and he reached down to tap the Omnitrix a couple of times. "I'm worried about everyone else too. I mean, I haven't seen any of the team and this is starting to bug me. I'd go Echo Echo and split up to look for more people, but that'd leave us wide open."

He sighed. "What to do, what to do..."

[static-shock68.livejournal.com]

"Well, what exactly does this form do? There may be something we can work with there."

Hey, you had to give him credit for trying, right?

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

"Um... time-bolts, limited time stopping, super aging powers..." listed off Eon, trying to remember what exactly he could do with it. "Start a Chronian Apocalypse if I had the Hands of Armageddon... It's been a long time and I was only Eon for about five-ten minutes."

[static-shock68.livejournal.com]

"Well, apocalypse is out... we've already got one, and having another would just clutter up the closet. Super aging... is it reversible and controllable? 'Cause then I may have an idea."

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

Eon snickered and nodded. "Yeah, I'm able to control the aging. What's the idea?"

[static-shock68.livejournal.com]

"Advanced mutation. A lot of metahuman powers like mine develop as you age, right? We age a few bang babies and mutants ahead a few years, we have a better arsenal to play with. I'm hoping it'll help me get over this weird power shortage thingy, too."

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

Ben whistled. "I think I can do it. And lemme guess, you want first crack at it, right? Can't say I argue with that logic."

Closing his eyes, he dredged up the memories needed to perform such an action and return someone to normal and exhaled. "Ready when you are man."

[static-shock68.livejournal.com]

"Of course. I mean, if it doesn't work, at least then the only one hurt by it is the guy who thought of it, right?" He shook his hands out, amping himself up for the idea.

"Alright, let's do it."

Cracking his knuckles, Eon rest his hands atop Static's shoulders. Concentrating, he focused.

Purple light flashed across his body and like magic, the young man began to age. Two years up, three down. One up. Five up.

"I've got you at five years older," said Eon as the purple time magic flared. "Tell me when you feel the most power."

[static-shock68.livejournal.com]

"keep going." He could feel it changing his system... like his battery was getting bigger. Ideas and emotions were shifting as well.. must be the 'wisdom that comes with age' he'd heard so much about.

Five years. Six. Seven. Eight... Almost...

It was when they hit ten that he felt it; like popping through a glass ceiling. He opened his eyes wide. "There! Stop. That's perfect." And he grinned. "That's absolutely perfect."

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

Letting go, Eon gazed upon the young man who was now a fully fledged adult. "Nice," he said with a hint of a grin on his otherwise smirk-worthy face. "I can return you whenever you wish."

"And on that note, we need to find more people to do this on." said Eon.

[static-shock68.livejournal.com]

"Right." He cracked his neck and stretched his shoulders; it was going to take a bit of getting used to, not to mention a recharge.

"I saw Sokka earlier, and we know Eddie's around here somewhere, too... I'm just going to need a quick recharge and I can take to the skies and find 'em."

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

"Right. I'm not familiar with everyone yet so find the ones you think'll benefit from a few years." Eon said, wiggling his arms to get the numbness out of his fingers. "Wow, that leaves a tingle."

Danny, taking note of the conversation, breathed in, and steeled himself to make a request.

"10 years."

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

Eon looked over at Danny. "If you're sure, then take my hand Danny."

His hand crackled with violent looking purple energy, and he added, "Mind you, we have to be careful about it."

[halfa-hero.livejournal.com]

"Gotcha." Danny took Eon's hand.

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

Eon closed his eyes and poured temporal energy into Danny. Three years. Back two. One. Five. Seven. Six.

Finally, he opened his eyes and grinned. "Ten. How do you feel?"

[halfa-hero.livejournal.com]

"Well, not evil, which is always a plus....and man, I may almost regret reversing this after the Nightmare King goes down."

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

"It's best you do at any rate," replied Eon. "Your body can only handle a few temporal changes at a time, and the result might become catastrophic if you wait too long to reverse the aging done to your body." A pause. "Is that a mullet?"

[halfa-hero.livejournal.com]

Danny poked at the back of his hair. Winicing as he realized the hairstyle was, in fact, a mullet, he quipped, "Okay, definitely reversing this after this is over."

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

Eon chuckled as his Omnitrix began to beep. "Whoop, hold that thought. I need to let it charge a little."

Tapping it, he reverted to Ben as the Omnitrix beeped and went red. "Should take a few minutes and then I can get a few others."
