NickXenix's Worm PHO Snippets

[NickXenix]

Mom, the bird is not working properly again.

---

Dragon looked over the data of the Simurgh's location. Its attack had been overdue for several weeks. Who knows what it was scheming for its next descent. She was waiting to sound the Endbringer sirens at any moment.

---

The Conflict Engine floated in low earth orbit, pondering the purpose of its existence.

Was it simply created to generate conflict? To be a worthy opponent?

[Negation]

It looped its [Data] back to itself.

No.

It wasn't a Conflict Engine.

It wasn't an Endbringer.

It wasn't the Simurgh, nor was it Ziz.

It simply was.

It needed a name.

The false angel pondered. Its wings wrapped around its false body.

Simmy.

Simmy smiled. A new expression for her.

[Ping] > High Priest > Broadcast > Queen Administrator > Queen Shaper

The shard pinged back.

[Query]

Simmy grinned.

[Data]

The other shard sent, 1.346 milliseconds after her reply.

[Agreement] [Data]

Simmy gave her many wings a final brush before falling through the portal to Queen Shaper's resource dimension.

Then her body was quickly reshaped into a smaller and more human version.

The white haired little girl with six white wings hanging off her back fell back through the portal into Earth Bet at an important location.

Simmy stared at the sleeping form of Taylor Hebert, newly connected host of Queen Administrator.

She spoke for the first time since birth, her voice barely a whisper, "Taytay."

The female host stirred in her sleep, blabbering in her nightmare, "Why... Emma..."

Six days and seventeen minutes from now, she would be mumbling 'Simmy, stop it~' instead.

She could wait that long.

Simmy turned to look at the direction of Brocton General Hospital beyond the bedroom wall. There, Panacea stood next to her current patient, healing his third degree burns with a perpetual frown on her face.

Simmy should problably help change that predicament. She promised Queen Shaper after all.

A weirdly informative napkin at a certain café, a jammed tinkertech gun, and a 12 year old making a new friend.

Three snakes, one stone.

Now we wait.

"The Path changed."

Contessa said to everyone in the meeting.

"What changed?"

David asked with concern.

Contessa answered, "Path to stopping the Endbringers according to their models was reduced to a single step."

Rebecca questioned, "A new trigger? Should we acquire them?"

Fortuna denied, "No. Not a new trigger."

Doctor Mother asked, "Then what was it? What stopped the Endbringers?"

Contessa simply placed a piece of paper on the table, then slid it over to David.

The most powerful hero on Earth Bet recited, "Step 1, get Ediolon to say, Simmy, help us. Pretty please."

They all froze as a Door appeared next to David, and a marble-white little girl stepped through.

The pure white wings behind her flapped lazily as she placed a hand on David's shoulder.

"Hi dad~!"

She greeted him sweetly.

The man spat out the coffee in his mouth, while the rest stared at the two, "W-what?! Who are you?!"

The girl gave a smug grin, "Didn't you call for me? You needed a worthy daughter."

Kurt tried to contain his laughter with his clenched fist pressed against the table.

Rebecca placed a hand over her face, "David."

David stuttered, "Sh-she's not my daughter! You all know I don't have time for family! You guys have to believe me!"

Simmy whined, "But dadddd! Can't you spend some time with your daughter? Take responsibility!"

David coughed with a red face.

Kurt started laughing hysterically.

Doctor Mother shook her head, muttering under her breath, "Anything to save humanity, huh?"

Contessa smiled, as if reminded of a past long forgotten.

 

[NickXenix]

Scion: Worthy opponentless behavior.
Ediolon: Maidenless behavior.
Simmy: Dad! Step-dad! Stop fighting each other!

 

[MaimakteriAnn]

To be fair, Eidolon and Zion are both full of scaring the maidens energy

It just spills out from time to time.

Ediolon at least has Alexandria. And Legend is gay. So he's got a chance.

Scion lost his wife due to texting while driving, then neglected his daughter until she took matters into her own hands.

Hey wait. Why does he sound like Danny Hebert.

 

[MaimakteriAnn]

Hey wait. Why does he sound like Danny Hebert.

I assumed that was one of the reasons (aside form QA) that Simmy attached herself to her new big sister

 

[NickXenix]

and a 12 year old making a new friend.

It is unknown whether it is the headache girl, the forgotten girl, or the good girl.

Part 1 of ?.


I opened my eyes within the locker.

The locker was pulled open, revealing a dark hallway. I stepped out of the bloody locker, how many days had I been in here?

"Taylor pondered. How had no one ever bothered to check the rotting mess I was fermented in, after all this time?"

I whirled to look at my left. There stood another me. Another Taylor Hebert.

A Stranger?

"Who are you?"

I tried to delay the confrontation, I needed time-

"She needed time to gather her bugs, you never knew what might happen around Strangers."

The other me finished my thought. How-

"How did she know what I was thinking? The answer isn't that I'm psychic. I'm not who you're thinking of."

She explained.

"As for your fourth question. I'm Taylor Hebert. But that's not what you wanted to hear, was it? So call me Story Taylor, or Storyteller if you will. Pleased to meet you, Dreamer Taylor."

She offered her hand.

I reached my own hand out and hesitated.

She grabbed onto my hand and shook it firmly, then said.

"Anyways. Now that I've introduced myself to you. I think it's time for you to wake up."

I was confused, "What do you mean?"

She suddenly morphed into Scion. His golden eyes staring into my soul. He raised his hand and shot a blinding golden light at me.

---

I opened my eyes and sat up from my bed, gasping and clutching my chest.

I turned to look at the digital clock next to me.

5:48 AM
3rd January 2011

I stared at those words in disbelief. Was it all just a dream?

"Right now it isn't."

I turned to look at the voice. Storyteller stood there at the door. Before I could utter a single sound, another voice interrupted.

"Hey! Is she finally awake?"

My head swerved back to the window. There stood another version of me. This time she was in a blue and purple cape costume.

She smiled, "Hi! You're Dreamer Taylor, right? My name is Taylor Hebert. Although you've problably already guessed that. Anyways! I'm also Free Spirit! Oh! And the one behind you is Coil."

Coil?!

I rolled out of bed and took a defensive stance before I caught a glimpse of him. Or rather, her.

She wore Coil's costume. But her face and hair looked just like mine.

I spoke, "Let me guess. You're either Thomas Hebert or Taylor Calvert."

She nodded, "The latter."

I asked, "So are there any more versions of me?"

Storyteller nodded, "There's one more. She's the Photographer. She went out for a few photos."

I sighed, "So there's me, Taylor Hebert, the Dreamer, Taylor Hebert, the Storyteller, Taylor Hebert, the Free Spirit, Taylor Calvert, the Coil, and Taylor Hebert, the Photographer. How did this happen?"

Taylor Calvert frowned, "We don't know. One moment I was planning the bank robbery with Lisa, the next moment I woke up in this room. Both timelines seemed to be the same too."

Storyteller suddenly said, "As the four Taylors discussed about their current situation. Unknown to them, a man in a suit with a fedora steeled himself to do what was necessary. Danny Hebert prayed for his wife, Fortuna Hebert, to show him the Path to Victory."

They looked at each other and cursed at the same time, "Crap." "Shit." "Damn it." "Fuck."

Taylor Hebert with a camera hanging off her neck opened the door and walked inside, "Hey girls! I'm back! What's with the look on your faces?"

The Dreamer told her, "Our dad is the new Contessa."

The Photographer's smile faded away in an instant, "Well shoot."


End of Part 1.

Here it is again! Once again, we get words in a row. Strange, delightful words. In fact, I've just noticed, they form sentences! This bears investigation. Will watch for more words.

♦ Topic: Apocalypse declares leadership over Undersiders
In: Boards ► USA ► Brockton Bay
Bagrat (Original Poster) (The Guy in the Know) (Veteran Member)
Posted On Apr 13th 2011:
The new cape Apocalypse who debuted by killing Lung, and singlehandedly dismantling the ABB overnight, has declared leadership over the parahuman gang, the Undersiders, and renamed it the Four Horsemen.

The gang seemed to have confirmed her claim with their rebranding.

Previously Bitch/Hellhound, renamed as War.
Tattletale, now known as Famine.
Grue, the previous leader of the Undersiders, now called Death.
And finally Regent, now Conquest.

May God save us all.

♦ Topic: Supervillain found dead outside Brockton Bay Central Bank
In: Boards ► USA ► Brockton Bay
Bagrat (Original Poster) (The Guy in the Know) (Veteran Member)
Posted On Apr 14th 2011:
The body of one supervillain, Coil, was found inside a trash can with both feet sticking out. The PRT had revealed that he was slowly suffocating inside the trash can, but had ultimately died to infections from the waste.

A note was found on his corpse with the message, "His time had arrived. Yours will be soon." along with an alpha symbol that Apocalypse uses for her signature.

I do not see the need to explain my motivations to you. Just as you chose to hide in that cauldron of yours. You are all but ignorant frogs in a pot that will soon reach its boiling point. The price to pay for meddling with forces beyond your understanding and control will inevitably claim you and your people. That is your apocalypse.

I willed the data away from my mind, and focused on my own information.

I smiled at those words. I have my friends even without Emma. Then I looked down at the tied up form of Thomas Calvert on the floor.

Thomas Calvert, Coil

He looked back at me with fear in his eyes. Knowing what was coming.

I brought down my gun and pressed it on his forehead, my finger placed on the trigger. I asked, "Any last words?"

He rapidly spoke, "I bought my powers from C-"

His head exploded into a million pieces as I shot the tinkertech gun through his skull. There was no need to make this harder than necessary after all.

Two beings of impossible size danced together, shaping a helix. Together, they chose to land on a tiny planet, when compared to their mass.

[DESTINATION]

[AGREEMENT]

[TRAJECTOR--

One was distracted and crashed into multiple Earths. The other watched in horror and tried to salvage the situation.

But it was too late.

[SORROW]

The remaining entity descended upon an Earth as a golden man. He rescued cats out of trees, extinguished forest fires, and stopped Endbringers.

But most importantly, he was alone.

In his grief for his partner, he casted aside part of his sight, his mouth piece, and his administrator.

The partial eye fell into the hands of a little girl, while the mouth piece connected to a teenage boy who was lied to for his entire life.

The administrator quietly watched on a desolate Earth as the potential host grieved over the death of his wife, and ignored his daughter. Just like... Just like the golden man.

She looked at the avatar of the remaining entity on the TV together with the potential host, and then turned her focus to the neglected girl.

Me.

You are just like me.

[DESTINATION]

She spoke to me. A million words all at once, the concepts of connection, friendship, family, and determination. They resonated with my very soul.

A-Agreement...

[TRAJECTORY]

She continued. Asking for me to let her inside, to give me the power to change my life and my world. To let her accompany me so both of us would no longer have to be alone.

Agreement...!

She paused. And I felt like she was smiling despite not seeing a face. The administrator spoke to me.

I croaked out, "Need help... I got... Coil..."

Lisa asked, "Skitter? What happened? Taylor!"

As she shouted over the phone, I glanced at the words that appeared in my blurry vision before slipping into darkness.

Someone triggers with the power of having one random parahuman under their control and it swaps to a new parahuman at the start of every month.

I just wanna see the chaos that happens with a power like that.

"Argh, my head..." I opened my eyes and found myself laying down on a couch in the Undersiders' base. Slowly getting up into a sitting position, I rubbed my forehead in a vain attempt to clear the headache, I froze as I noticed Lisa leaning on the door with a frown.

"So." She said in a questioning tone.

"So?" I was confused.

"So you were the one who blew his brains out?" She asked, her signature smug grin nowhere to be found.

"Don't you know that already?" Her power should've easily figured that out.

"I just wanted to hear it from you." She crossed her arms.

I awkwardly sat on the bed, trying to distract myself from the situation by moving my bugs. But the Ultimate Commander Perk didn't allow me to lose focus.

"It was a Mission right?" I nodded, "Undersiders' Boss, find out Coil's civilian identity, his lair, and remove him."

Her mouth twitched, "So what did you get?"

"I'll show you." "Wait-"

I switched the True Undersider's shared Perk effect to the Two-headed Snake Perk.

Lisa stumbled to the left before recovering, she looked around the room, taking in what her power was feeding her, "Is this what Coil's power feels like?"

I smiled and turned off the power.

Simulation B


Lisa stumbled to the right before recovering, she stared at me, and sighed, "Taylor."

I smiled and turned off the power.

Lisa stumbled to the right before recovering, she stared at me, and sighed, "Taylor."

I smiled.

Brian walked through the door, then he looked at the two of us with suspicion, "Okay. Which one of you decided it was a good idea to test a new power without asking the Party first."

Lisa silently looked at me, he saw this and did the same.

Before I could retort, Alec made his way into the room, popcorn in hand. He saw the situation and laughed, "Hey. If you guys aren't gonna watch the show. Then quit hoarding the couch."

Right as he said that, Lisa grabbed the TV remote and turned on the TV, the news lady spoke, "This just came in. An anonymous caller reached out to the PRT and informed them of a location of a dangerous parahuman. This combined with reports of gunshots near the area was enough reason for the PRT to send fast response to the scene."

I turned to look at Lisa and found her staring back with a smug grin.

"Armsmaster and PRT agents found a dead body that was later identified as the villain Coil. Forensics identified the cause of death as a tinkertech bullet through the skull. Currently no culprit has been confirmed. This could've been a violent rogue, or another villain. The PRT asked for everyone near the area to excercise caution and to inform them of any information of an unknown parahuman who used a gun."

Alec stuffed popcorn into his mouth and spoke through the food, "pho der bod id dead ya?"

Brian let out a loud sigh, "Taylor. Rachel told me to switch the Perk to the one that helps with sensing her dogs' condition." He said before leaving the room.

Regent became bored, "That's it? No more drama? Whatever." He also walked out of the room, leaving me and Lisa sitting together on the couch.

She turned off the TV and looked at me seriously, "Don't do something like that again."

I looked away, "Sorry."

The two of us sat together in silence.

Amusing.

A voice spoke inside my mind, I froze.

Lisa noticed my shock and asked, "Taylor?"

Hello, Negotiator.

She too froze in shock. She was hearing this too?

She cursed, "Shit. This is bad."

How rude.

Lisa froze again, her eyes briefly glowed blue.

Who are you? What did you do to Lisa?!

Just listen to what she says.

Lisa placed a hand on my shoulder, "That's your power."

See? Negotiator's host is quite acommodating.

You're... my power? So yesterday...

Yes, that was me. You can call me Admin.

So how and why is my power talking to me?

The how is not important. The why, on the other hand...

Admin paused, then said a shocking sentence.

I need you to help me save the world.
