RMNVERSE ADVENTURE TIME!

now is my turn to repair the short fight I created.
>Prepare to fight!

>hulk out with Rage

With trepidation, you open the expired potion. Noting its strange odor, you plug your nose as you gulp it down. Your wounds start to heal, but you also feel...something else. You feel an incredible surge of power as if nothing in the world can stop you! You also see lots of pretty colors.

You try taking a few steps, but stumble a little bit. It's no matter, though, as nothing in the world matters right now! Well, except that there are shadow things trying to kill you.

> Lie down and ponder your existence.
> Charge at shadow beasts once more!
> Try and help Minty out in your dazed state.
> Party.

Yay! This is back.

> Try and help Minty out in your dazed state.

Feeling pretty stellar, you're having a hard time caring about the shadow things. You can't really tell where they are, or even if they're still there. But you wobble uncertainly over to Minty's cringing form, prone on the floor.

Well, you more or less flop on the floor and pump your legs until you get there, anyway.

"Hey gurl, you take me to best parties." You mumble, you think.
"Shut up, lame brain, and help me up." she says through clenched teeth.

When you do manage to get on your feet and help her up, you almost tear her arm out of the socket. Kiefer chimes in, "Jeez, all those roids and you still look like a shrimp."

"Fascinating!" Minty squees, the scientist returning. One of her eyes is swollen shut from some mild burns, but she doesn't mind while she circles around you, examing you in every way she can. "Looks like that expired potion seems to have given you some super strength! How's your head?"

"Well, I'm seeing some weird stuff, that's for sure. Like, if I concentrate, there's like this aura around you guys, or something."

"Great, now he's a freakin' sideshow mystic too," Kiefer groans, limping over.

"Well, maybe not." Minty says, finger ponderously to her lips. "Rudy, why don't you try something new with your powers?"

You think this is a terrible idea, but what do you know? You look around at the devastation. There's a lot of people dead or hurt, including you and your friends. You're mad. Mad at yourself and this situation. Why weren't you strong enough to protect anyone? Everything you've done so far has been useless. You turn all that rage into something, in your mind. You want to be able to take all this away. To fix this. You can feel power uselessly fill your veins, and you try to will it to DO something.

In your mind, you see a flash, like what the world was mere moments ago. Little lines following people, where they were before, where they are now, where they're going. Objects shattering, reforming, shattering again. You concentrate, and you're able to move people along the lines, just a bit. The drain hits you like a truck, but you keep going. Kiefer, Minty, these victims, this room... you shift everyone around until...

"Wow, what just happened?" Kiefer said, his body whole again. The victims from the massacre are nowhere to be seen, sent somewhere else on their timeline. Minty's face looks fresh and new. You, however, feel a little worse than before you took that drink.

"Well, that worked out pretty well, but I think I need a break." You whisper. "What should we do now, Minty?"

>"Let's try to find that kid, Lyle Hamburg. He had a way to track these things. Kiefer, have you seen him?"
>"I get the feeling these things are trying to distract us. Maybe we are getting close to that rift. Maybe that Security Card brings us closer than we think."
>"Give me that bottle, maybe it says something about where we can get more. I get the feeling we might need more."
