Advanced Mad Science, December 18

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Today, the Danger Room didn't look like either a lab or a classroom. Or any kind of building, for that matter. Instead, the students would find themselves on a sunny street full of shops in the Juuban District of Tokyo.

Oddly enough, Professor Tomoe's face was still covered in shadows.

He leaned against a rail as he waited for his students to show up. He grinned widely once they were assembled. "Good afternoon, class!" he said. "You may be wondering what we're doing in a nice part of Tokyo and how it relates to your final exam. Well, over the past few months, we've been talking about many of the tools that that mad scientists use. For your final, we're going to see how well you've learned how to use them. There is only one activity involved in your final."

He threw his arms open wide. "DESTROY TOKYO!"

He then let out a long maniacal laugh that went on for so long that it ended in a coughing fit. He regained his composure, and lowered his arms. "Yes, I want you to destroy Tokyo. You may use any tool that we've talked about this semester. I have a copy of the syllabus taped up to one of the poles if you wish to refresh yourself on the topics we covered. You will receive higher grades if you manage to destroy the Tokyo Tower as a part of your rampage."

He held up a warning finger to the group. "However, you should know that Tokyo has the highest concentration of so-called 'heroes' on the planet, even more than New York. It is highly likely that some costumed fool will try and stop you from destroying the city. Should they appear, you must either defeat them, or destroy as much of the city as possible despite their interference."

He gave them another glowing grin. "Good luck."

DESTROY TOKYO

Show that city who's boss!

I may have prepared a list of Tokyo-based heroes who will show up to stop you.

Valentine did not want to destroy the city. He'd witnessed cities being destroyed before. This was not good. Very not good.

So he went with the one strategy that he was fairly certain meant he would at least get marks for trying, but would be certain to fail horribly.

Tokyo, meet the wrath of a half-dozen miniature Valentine clones.

"Yes, that's right. Straight ahead. Nonono, not into the sewer!"

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

A little girl with strange coloured hair was bopping down the street. When she saw all the Valentine clones falling into the sewer, she gasped and ran down a nearby alley. After a minute of bright sparkles and cooing voices, a lone figure stepped out to face him.




"It's terrible to make people fall down sewers! There's icky stuff down there! For love and justice, I am the pretty solider in training, Sailor Chibi Moon! In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"

... That was a terribly large amount of pink. It actually burned Valentine's wee little eyes a little.

"I'm telling them not to fall into the sewer," Valentine replied, crossing his arms in front of his chest rather ... crossly. "They're just bad at listening."

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

"Oh," she said, tugging on her poofy pink hair with her pink gloves. She seemed highly disappointed.

"Well, could you get them to not fall harder? Or maybe cover the sewer?"

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[dark_slippy_thing]

... This pink-haired girl was brilliant. She had possibly just single-handedly solved Valentine's inability to play Lemmings steer his little clones around this city unharmed.

"Why... Yes. I could certainly cover the sewer." Pause. "Perhaps you wouldn't mind helping me? And also, I'm a bit of a tourist, here. My ... small friends and I would like to visit Tokyo Tower. Perhaps you know the way?"

It was totally worth a shot.

Sailor Chibi Moon gave him a funny look and pointed up at the horizon.

"It's hard to miss. You can see it everywhere in Tokyo."

Ed eyed the city and then shrugged. Clapping his hands together, he knelt down to place them on the ground. Blue light flashed around him and up the buildings near by, shaking them to pieces.

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

A boy with a bizarre, extremely pointed hair ran up to where Ed was.




"Stop that!" he said in an unreasonably deep voice. "You can't just destroy the city like that! I'll use a children's card game to teach you the error of your ways." He raised his left arm, revealing a lame plastic playing card table strapped to his wrist. "It's time to d-d-d-d-d-d-duel!"

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"...Do you have a stutter?" Ed asked.

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

"Only when I say that line, for some reason," he said in his very deep voice. He shoved a deck of children's playing cards into his plastic holder. "For my first move, I summon ... BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON!"

He put the card in one of the playing slots. As he did, a large white dragon with blue eyes popped up behind him from seemingly out of nowhere.

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

Edward looked up. "You have an albino dragon behind you. Not technically albino, I suppose, but the idea's there."

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Yuugi looked confused at the response. "Well, ... yes. That's what's on the card, so that's what shows up when I play it. Have you never played a children's card game before?"

Zack had a big red button.

He was going to push it any moment now.

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Luckily, the city of Tokyo had a good deal of experience with Doomsday Devices and the big red buttons that went with them. From their top secret headquarters under the DisneySea Tokyo amusement park, they unleashed their greatest weapon.

Perky pop music began to play through the Juuban store speakers as a sextet of middle aged men wearing nothing but white briefs with fig leaves on the front jumped out in front of Zack




"G! R! DOUBLE-E! N! LEAVES!"

They moved in closer as the danced, trying to grab the button out of his hand.

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Clutching tightly to the button, Zack started backing away from the scary perky men.

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

The group decided to change tactics. So they started shimmying their way toward Zack while singing.

"It's so easy! Happy go lucky! We are the world! We did it! Hyu hyu hyu hyu! Osu osu osu osu!"

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Zack pushed the button.

It was the only way.

Cher sighed. "I don't see what Tokyo's ever done to me..."

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

Professor Tomoe shook his head. "Consider what Tokyo hasn't done for you. Have they opened the stores you like? Do they have people would won't mock you in Japanese? Have they mocked you for turning evil and forming a secret organization dedicated to bringing around an apocalypse?"

He motioned to the syllabus. "Also, this final is worth a third of your final grade in this course."

If the city had to be destroyed, then it had to be destroyed.

Johnny was smart enough to know that wearing his firesuit to Advanced Mad Science was just a given. Today? Was no different.

He was prepared.

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[daimonhost.livejournal.com]

As this was Tokyo, no one paid much attention to a 6-foot cyborg with enormous samurai-like horns and waist-length spiky red hair. Cyborg Guy nodded to Johnny as he passed him on the street.

"Good afternoon."

Re: DESTROY TOKYO

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Since Johnny was taller than the cyborg, he didn't pay it much heed other than the respect of returning his greeting. "Afternoon."

Okay, the samurai like horns were a bit disconcerting.

Victor had combined the lesson on cloning with the Death Busters' winged-squid-man-like creature. As such he had several red buttons to press.

Victor von Doom didn't half-ass things.

Really, the easiest way to destroy a large city was with something equally large. And Kabuto did have one such trick up his sleeve. Biting his thumb so it bled, Kabuto slammed both hands palms-flat against the ground. "Kuchiyose no jutsu!" (Summoning Technique)
A huge purple snake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_Naruto_characters#Snakes) reared up in front of him, hissing angrily. "You know better than to summon me..."
"When it benefits us both, then all the more reason to do the summoning," Kabuto said with a smile. "Have fun." He gestured to the city, and the snake set off on a path of destruction.
