When the Serpent Strikes!
Dateline... Metropolis! The scene? STAR Labs! The threat? Kobra! The cult dedicated to bringing about the age of change and the Kali Yuga. Long thought destroyed with the death of the previous Naga Naga, the snake-scourge of the world has only been resting... and today, it begins its strike back!

A half dozen tanks filled the streets of Metropolis, flanked by two score more of soldiers. Their target, STAR Labs and the precious technology within!

Who will save Metropolis from this diabolical terror?!

Though Jenn had been briefly staying in Star City with J'anna, she had abused her friend's hospitality long enough, especially in these times of revival, of both herself and her mother. J'onn's contacts had helped her establish an Earth identity and some funds, though she would need to find other means of support eventually.

For now, she was a stranger in a strange world, slowly exploring the world called Earth.

The sounds of heavy machinery and weapons fire drew her attention, as did the emotional flare-up of distress and panic.

She dropped her telepathic illusion, standing tall as the Saturnian Princess she was, lifting into the air.

Jenn, Daughter of Saturn, was a Princess of the blood, and though this was not her world, she would not stand idly by and see others come to harm.

	As the tanks open fire, a blue blur appears, the shells exploding there, but not moving him. "Get out of my city. Here, let me show you the door." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If the Kobra soldiers were surprised by the appearance of the Boy of Steel, most of them didn't show it. "Fool!" one of them shouted. "None shall stand in the way of the chosen followers of Kali! Hail the Nāga-Naga! Victory to Kobra!" They opened fire again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Being born of Saturnian stock, Jenn was not as powerful as a Kryptonian or a Martian, but her abilities were nothing to be sneezed at either. She dropped into the enemy lines, scattering them with a psychokinetic blast. "Foul creatures," she snarled, "fall!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon still doesn't move under the assault. It stings, but intimidation is half of the game with these people - and he's not about to let them think they're having the remotest effect. He fires a burst of heat vision, melting down one of the tank cannons. "Maybe you didn't hear me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay, this definitely wasn't going the way their section leader had said it would. "Forward!" the lead trooper shouted. The tanks began to roll. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jenn was dealing with the troops in the back, even as Jon was dealing with those in the front. She could feel their fanaticism in her mind, and it disgusted her. "Alien bitch!" one snarled, firing his weapon. The bullets stung, like the sting of an insect, but she held her ground, reaching out to crush the gun with her bare hands.

	Jn dives forward, smashing another tank into the ground, then lifting it, turning it over, and shaking the fanatics out of it - he's ok if they're banged up, but he's not going to kill anyone. That done, he uses the tank he has like a bat, holding it by the cannon and smashing it into another one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fanaticism is all well and good, but in the case of an overly powered super-hero, it doesn't necessarily hold up so well. The ones nearest will still open fire, but others are trying to flee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jenn had been doing well, though perhaps not as well as Jon, and would have continued to do so had not one of the Korba soldiers been carrying a flamethrower. He opened fire with it, setting the ground before her ablaze. She screamed in a most un-princess-like fashion, feeling her strength leave her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-05-15 12:53 am UTC (link)
	Jon sees that - and has a certain amount of familiarity with martians. As well as he's been doing, damsel in distress comes first. Still holding a tank aloft, he taes a deep breath, then exhales, leaving the flamethrower encased in ice, and sending the people around it tumbling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The free standing Kobra soldiers are blown over by the sudden blast of air, amidst shouts of surprise and alarm. What few are standing fire their weapons desperately at Jon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The fire out, Jenn is quick to regain her strength. The gemstone in her forehead pulsed with light as she fired her psychkinetic blast at the nearest ones firing at her rescuer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That heavy a fire with everything they have almost pushes him back, but he stands his ground under the heavy fire, trying to send a resolute message that may help prevent future attacks, pretending to be even less affected than he is, being the big distraction while Jenn takes them out.

	Minions, especially fanatical ones, are not exactly hired for their intelligence. They continue to fire at Jon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thesonsdaughter 2011-05-15 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	Jenn's psychic powers were mostly empathic... but in this case, her telepathy was enough. Pulling power from their own fanaticism, she directed a mental bolt which stunned the ones still upright into unconsciousness. "Foul creatures," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon tears the top off of a tank, and begins dumping unconscious bodies into it for easy delivery. "Unfortunately, none of the leadership, but still... the feds ought to be interested in this lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What did they want?" Jenn asked. "I am afraid I am not completely familiar with the militias of this world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're not a militia, they're terrorists." Regardless what anyone from Kobra says. "Criminals out to promote a fanatical agenda." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jenn's eyes narrowed, her blue-white lips pressing into a thin line. "We have those on my world as well." The gemstone in her head flared briefly, then died down. "It seems fanaticism is a universal constant." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
