Rick Jones: I liked it a lot. It was awesome. It was funny too, but they could have left the dog part and some of the other crude jokes out but I thought overall it was great. It seemed like a lot more action in this movie than the last one.
new midnight avenger: Prokofy “Big Frankie” Lebed sat in a large armchair that reminded everyone in the room of a throne and that was exactly the point. He was the leader of the Russian Crime Syndicate and thought himself ruler over his people. The Jade Scorpion took her place standing on the left of his ‘throne’ as she would if she were his queen.
Seamus watched from outside in silence as he saw Ethan McKnight being pushed into the manor through a servants entrance. He wondered about this woman, whose name he learned was Erin Cross, and what her interest was in the house. Who did she work for? He would try to ask her again later.
Marcus Deimus roughly shoved the Count forward and into the room with a delighted smile upon his face. He was finally permitted to come face to face with his employer. And he was rather pleased with himself this far.
“Are you an idiot” Big Frankie asked the Greek “why did you bring him here?”
This caught Marcus by surprise, it wasn’t at all the welcome he was expecting “I…I…thought he would bring the Rook to us.”
“That’s brilliant, and why would I want the Rook in my own home? Better yet why do I want the Count here? Now I have to kill him or he will go to the authorities upon his release!”
“I hadn’t thought” Marcus began but a rustling outside cut him off.
Seamus hated the plan but Erin Cross was already on the move and he didn’t want her going in alone and getting herself killed. So he had no choice but to follow. She dove through the window and swept her leg knocking down the nearest thug. Then she was up on her feet with her pistol drawn.
“Everyone freeze where you are! You are all under arrest” Erin shouted.
“Do you not realize you are outnumbered?” Big Frankie responded and motioned for his minions to open fire.
The bullets came at her from all directions. As they neared within inches of her nose they suddenly stopped and fell to the ground as if by magic. Then she noticed Seamus had entered behind her and he was chanting frantically. Then he stopped and everyone stared in wonder as to why Erin remained unharmed.
Seamus had taken this moment to draw his own firearm, the large hellfire revolver that he had made himself and which had served him well this far. The sight of it alone seemed to give the others pause and had them rethinking their options when the woman spoke again.
“By the authority of the Metropolitan Police Service you are herby under arrest for weapons trafficking, drug running, breaking and entering, grand larceny…”
Big Frankie waved his hand to cut her off “I know my offenses but you are still outnumbered and MPS has no jurisdiction outside of Greater London.”
“We have a special warrant for your arrest” she countered “all we needed was evidence in order to make the arrest and escort you back to Scotland Yard.”
“But you have no evidence” Big Frankie argued “I have done nothing wrong.”
“What about kidnapping the Count of Carrion?”
“He was trespassing on my property. And if he says otherwise it will be his word against all my associates plus my security tapes.”
This guy was definitely good Seamus thought to himself. But it didn’t matter for he was already working up a spell in his head and at the same time allowing his cybernetic arm to remold itself as a blade. Then he let forth the spell that caused the entire manor to shake. The quake caused all of Big Frankie’s thugs to topple over giving him and the police woman the moment they needed to attack.
Seamus dove at one of the thugs with his blade but it connected with the stock of a rifle as the thug blocked. Then the rifle was smashed into his face knocking him backwards. He came back with a roar and sliced through the rifle and then jabbed the tip of the blade into the man’s chest.
During the distraction Ethan kicked the Greek in the back of his knee knocking him down. Then he kicked Marcus in the face sending the tall man sprawling on the floor. He looked around for anything he could use as a weapon and saw the Desert Eagle. He went for the shiny gun but Marcus was on him now punching him in the ribs. Ethan’s hands were still tied behind his back so all he could do was kick and try to roll away.
Erin Cross fought her way through the thugs and closed in on Big Frankie’s throne. The Russian pushed a button built in the arm of the chair and a secret trap door opened beneath the chair. Prokofy Lebed and his throne disappeared through the floor in a heartbeat leaving the Jade Scorpion there to take the brunt of the woman’s attack.
“You will not get your hands on Big Frankie” Jade Scorpion swore as she swung her stinger blade out towards the policewoman.
Erin was struck across the arm and the pain was instantaneous. A deadly poison was working its way into her bloodstream. But she fought through the pain striking out with an uppercut that connected with the Jade Scorpion’s chin sending the sultry thief reeling. As the trap door in the floor was just about to close however the Jade Scorpion slipped through its opening and vanished.
Sirens could be heard outside as Seamus finished taking down the remaining thugs. Unfortunately Big Frankie got away along with Jade Scorpion and the Greek. The woman’s groaning caught his attention and he rushed over to check on her. Using the spell of affliction he determined that the poison was fatal.
He shook his head in Ethan’s direction “she won’t last an hour.”
“We need to get her back to the Rookery. I have an idea but if the police stop us we’ll never make it.”
Seamus cast a spell of concealment which would make them invisible and helped Erin slip out a side door. Out in the street they loaded up in the Porsche and flew down the street towards Castle Carrion.
Ethan McKnight lifted the sword of Justice hoping it would grant him the angelic powers that it had when Gabriel Jones had wielded it. If this worked he would have the power to heal and should be able to stop the poison. The sword however refused to grant him anything. It did however send out a small pulse wave in the woman’s direction.
“Give her the sword” Seamus said upon seeing this.
Ethan placed the hilt in her hand and stepped back to see what happened. The blade flared to life and sent a cleansing energy coursing through her body. She gasped in pain as her shoulders seemed to burn. Then white angelic wings sprouted from her back. She stood up and stared at the two men in shock.
“What happened to me?”
“You were on your deathbed until the sword of Justice chose you as its new host.”
Epilogue…
After sending an anonymous tip to the Saint Katherine’s Bay Police Department about the murder of their former Chief, the Rook, Shamus, and the new heroine Seraphim settled down in the lounge of the Rookery to discuss their options. Seamus Flannigan was adamant to have the three of them form an alliance against evil but the other two weren’t so sure.
“It sounds good and all but I’m not ready to just give up my job” Erin Cross said “I’ve just been promoted to Chief Inspector and as such taking down Big Frankie was my first assignment. Catching him has to be my number one priority. Don’t get me wrong I’m grateful you guys saved my life and I’ll help out whenever I can but I can’t just forget that I’m a constable first.”
“She has a point Seamus. I mean you know me I’m always up for a fight but I can’t go back to the States with you. My place is here in the Rookery as Count of Carrion. Boreas City is your territory. If you ever really have need of me I’ll be on the first plane over just as you were for me today.”
“I see your point. I don’t like it but I do see it” Seamus conceded at length “I’d love to stay here with you but I know my city needs me. Let us at least make a pact to join forces whenever the good of the free world is at stake?”
Seamus placed his hand palm down in the middle of them as he would if he were part of a sports team. Ethan and Erin placed theirs upon his in confirmation of the pact and they decided then and there that they would be known as the Rovers, fighting evil wherever it may appear.
new midnight avenger: I don't know that story wayne[confused]
Tim: [url]http://tv.yahoo.com/news/article/tv-news.en.ap.org/tv-news.en.ap.org-20090702-us_news_corp_law_suit;_ylt=Ai2Mht9uXm71X3g31b4_e_L6o9EF[/url]
[quote]Former Fox News entertainment writer Roger Friedman is suing his old bosses for more than $5 million after he was fired for reviewing a leaked copy of Fox's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."
Friedman is seeking damages for libel and legal fees in a suit that names Fox as well as News Corp. and its chairman, Rupert Murdoch, as defendants.
He is accusing Fox of violating his contract with the firing, which came after his April 2 review of "Wolverine" appeared on Fox's Web site. Friedman wrote the piece based on a version he found on the Internet before its official release.
Fox News said it has not been served with the suit. A spokeswoman declined to comment any further on the case.
In the filing, Friedman claims he contacted an in-house attorney at Fox to get the column cleared but that she never responded. He said none of his editors raised objections.
Friedman said he contacted his editor after the review was removed from the site April 3 and was told Murdoch had ordered the story taken down but that he shouldn't worry about his job.
News Corp. nevertheless fired Friedman April 4. Friedman said John Moody, the executive vice president of Fox News, told him to "remain quiet over the weekend" until a meeting Monday to "repair the situation."
But News Corp. released a public statement the same day saying the company has "zero tolerance for any action that encourages and promotes piracy."
Friedman argues Murdoch "invalidated" the policy by inadvertently allowing the film to end up online and fired him to cover up the misstep.
He said company's public statements amounted to libel for "willfully, recklessly, intentionally and maliciously" defaming him.
Friedman, who had worked at Fox for 10 years and earned an annual salary of $250,000, is looking for $5 million in damages plus $180,000 in legal fees.[/quote]
Tim: I'm sure we can after you get enough images built up.
new midnight avenger: “What do you mean it was a trap?” the mysterious employer fumed.
Jade Scorpion slipped out of her leather jumpsuit and stood stark naked in front of her boss “there was a knight wielding a golden sword standing guard in the armory.”
“The Rook” the man smiled grimly “he has been standing guard over the house of Carrion since the 12th Century; we must find out who he is and eliminate him.”
“We can do that later” she replied “let me help you relax” she said wrapping her arms around him.”
“Run along Jade and prepare the bed. I’ll be along momentarily” he replied.
Lifting his phone to his ear he dialed the number that would get him the Greek “I have an assignment for you. It looks like we do need someone assassinated. Find out who the Rook is and kill him!”
The Greek smiled to himself and slipped his Israeli Desert Eagle from its shoulder holster to check that his clip was full. He knew it was, he always keeps it ready, but still he checked out of habit. Marcus Deimus would have to return to Castle Carrion. The only way to find out who the Rook is was to kidnap the Count and hold him for ransom. That should bring the knight to him.
Meanwhile inside Castle Carrion…
Ethan McKnight polishes his armor while watching the news. He hopes to get a lead on these people by watching for their other exploits. But so far everything has been quiet. Maybe they were just after the sword. But it didn’t make sense there had to be more to it. This mysterious third party who had employed both Marcus Deimus and the thief must know that he would be unable to wield the sword unless it chose him of its own accord. Therefore why did he want it so badly?
The Count knew he had to be careful from here on out. If they tried once they’ll try again. But next time they’ll be expecting the Rook to be on scene and would come prepared. That is why he had made a phone call to the States earlier. His friend Seamus Flannigan should be on a plane now headed over the ocean. Now he just had to wait.
Several hours later…
The lights of Castle Carrion were lit and the Count himself could be seen pacing as he passed by the window in his study. Seamus Flannigan hid himself upstairs in the security room where he could watch all of the monitors for any signs of the thief or Mr. Deimus. Neither one of them were sure whether it would be another attempted theft or if this time it would be a more forceful attempt and finding out where the sword was. But Ethan was sure they would attempt something tonight.
It wasn’t long before the Greek stood outside the gate once more. This time he did not look up into the security camera. He kept his gaze on the gate itself and noticed that the Count hadn’t even bothered to have the lock fixed since the break-in. What a fool this man was. He just made it easier for Marcus to get in.
He pushed open the gate and walked silently up the path to the front door. The door was locked however so he moved around to look at the windows. The one to the kitchen was unlocked so that is where he entered the castle. Once inside he made sure to be as quiet as a mouse as he went into the darkened hallway. It took him no time at all to cover the distance to the study.
The Greek crouched outside the room and listened at the door. He wanted to make sure that the Count was alone before he entered. The only sound inside was that of the Count’s footsteps across the floor. Marcus pushed the door slowly opened and entered with his gun held out before him.
“Alright Count, I want your hands where I can see them.”
“Ah so this is how your employer decided to proceed” Ethan said as he turned to face the man.
“I want your hands above your head now” the Greek demanded waving his gun in the Count’s face.
Ethan backed away from the gun and his leg brushed up against the fireplace. That gave him an idea. With his hands still down at his sides and slightly behind him he felt around for his poker. Gripping the handle tightly in his hand he swung the fire poker up knocking the gun out of his assailant’s hand. The gold plated handgun skidded across the floor and came to a stop back near the study door.
Enraged the Greek charged forward swinging his fists. Ethan blocked with the poker and then slammed it down on Marcus’ wrist. There was a slight cracking sound and the gunman howled in pain. The Count of Carrion kicked him in then sending him sprawling on the floor. Marcus was relieved to see he landed within inches of his Desert Eagle. He grabbed it quickly and squeezed off a round.
The bullet struck the poker sending it flying out of the Count’s hands where its sharp point embedded itself in the log in the fireplace “enough shenanigans I want to know where the sword is and where I can find the Rook!”
Seamus watched all of this from the security monitor. He wanted to bolt down the stairs and too his friends rescue but knew that Ethan had the situation under control. This is what he wanted, to use himself as bait until he could find out who was behind this. Seamus just had to observe and if the man made to take Ethan with him then the private detective would just have to follow them.
“Who are you working for?” Ethan asked as the Greek bound his arms together.
“If he wants you to know then you will know, but not a moment before.”
“Do you even know who you work for?”
“I don’t need to know. His money is good that’s all that matters.”
“So you’re just a hired gun? Always taking orders on who you can go after and who you can’t?”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about” the Greek replied “I choose who I work for and who I don’t.”
“But you don’t choose your own targets do you?”
The Greek’s face was red with anger now and he struck the Count with the back of his hand “just shut your mouth! I have chosen before and if I so choose I will end your wretched life!”
Realizing he struck a chord Ethan pressed further “you wouldn’t choose to kill me and forfeit your payday. I’ve seen your kind before. You’re nothing but a follower.”
“That’s not true!” Marcus shouted “I’ve taken out government officials before of my own accord! The one in Saint Katherine’s Bay still has the police stumped! And I did that one simply for the fun of it!”
Filing away that tiny revelation Ethan decided to let the matter drop for now. No reason getting shot before he found out who was behind this. So he let the man lead him out of his own house like a prisoner. He looked up and nodded his head to the security camera giving Seamus the signal to follow.
Seamus gathered his brown coat and Atlanta Braves baseball cap and quietly made his way down the spiral staircase. He arrived on the ground floor in time to hear a van drive off down the street. The paranormal detective cast a minor tracking spell that would allow him to follow the van at a discreet distance and opened the garage door. Taking the Count of Carrion’s own Porsche 911 he roared out of the drive and onto the street.
Just on the other side of town the van pulled into the drive of a vast estate. Marcus pulled up the gate and activated the intercom letting them know he had arrived. The gate opened inward and allowed him entrance. Seamus pulled up on the curb of the street just as the gate shut. He locked the doors of the Porsche knowing Ethan would be furious if it was stolen and walked up to the rock wall that surrounded the grounds. Casting a spell of separation the rocks parted enough to allow him to slip through and then they closed back as if they had never moved.
Once inside Seamus looked around for guards. Then he saw something move in the shadows. He made towards it only to find a woman carrying binoculars hiding in the bushes and spying on the house. Seamus stepped on a twig catching the woman’s attention. She turned towards him in fear then relaxed as she realized he wasn’t one of the guards.
“Get out of here now” she whispered harshly “I’ve been at this too long for my cover to be blown now!”
“My friend was just taken inside and I intend to get him back” Seamus countered “so I’m not going anywhere.”
“I don’t have time for this” the woman complained “Big Frankie is going to make his move soon. I need to stop him before that happens.”
“Big Frankie?”
“You mean you don’t even know who you’re dealing with? You are either crazy or stupid” she replied “he’s only the most powerful Russian crime lord in the world!”
