Clockwork King Arrested

The Clockwork King was arrested this weekend in a joint operation of the Elite Force and the Angels of Paragon. Shavaya of the Elite Force along with Angels Ligress, Mi-Lin, Captain Mi-Chan and Angelface defeated the arch villain. The mad Clockwork King imagines himself the center of a mechanical court. His powerful mind continually creates more subjects to his insane rule. The true horror is that his massive steel chassis holds a human brain.

Elite Force and Angels Formalize Coalition

Earlier this afternoon long time allies Sunstroke and Miss Kitca officially formed a coalition between their respective super groups, the Elite Force and the Angels of Paragon. The deal allowed two members of the Elite Force, Ligress and Divinity, to join the Angels. In exchange the Elite Force get access to the base of operations of the Angels including their teleporters which are invaluable to getting around Paragon City in a timely matter. The two groups also now have direct communication between members to assist each other in fighting crime whenever needed.

Task Force Nova Takes on Ruladak

Sunstroke, Miss Kitca, a theory, ElectroHawk, Greyhame, Palatial Guard and Dark Friar banded together as Task Force Nova to stop Ruladak the Strong of the Shadow Shard.

When Sara Moore asked for their help to find out who had been kidnapping natives, Task Force Nova couldn't have known that it would lead you to uncover...The Legend of Ruladak

The Heroes fought the Nemesis Army troops around the Cascade Archipelago, and found that they were under order to do just that.

They then rescued several natives who had been captured by the Nemesis Army, who were interrogating them to find out about a native legend about a monster called 'Ruladak'.

Nova liberated more captives from the Nemesis Army who were also being interrogated about the myths of Ruladak, including a man called 'Old Fred' who seemed to know more than he was telling. On their return, Sara Moore told them the myth of Ruladak, about a monster that tried to force natives to worship the Rularuu after 'the madness broke the world', but was imprisoned by kindness.

The task force next struck a Nemesis Army base, and recovered a letter to a 'General Fort' of the Nemesis army, talking about plans to awaken some sleeping power and ally with the Rularuu.

Next they learned that Old Fred, one of the oldest and wisest of the people in the Shadow Shard, had been kidnapped by the Circle of Thorns when he was looking for a book written by his father about Ruladak. They rescued him, and he told them that Ruladak was real! The Circle, however, had already taken the book back to Oranbega.

The heroes returned to Paragon City and recovered the book from Oranbega. It detailed a great deal of information about how Ruladak the Strong had been bound by the 'Kind One'.

While the book was off being analyzed, the heroes went off looking for another group of natives who had been kidnapped. They found that they had actually been taken by the Rularuu, who were interrogating the natives for what they knew of the Nemesis Army.

The worst came to pass when Task Force Nova attacked a Nemesis base and found that a Nemesis Army leader named General Fort had signed a treaty with the Rularuu to free Ruladak and ally with the creature in an attempt to sieze control of the Nemesis Army.

They then began the battle to stop the Nemesis Army from awakening Ruladak the Strong. The Nemesis Army had already gotten to the first of the 4 seals that held Ruladak imprisoned.

The group secured the second seal, which could be used by trained mystics to weaken Ruladak should he awaken. They were also able to secure the third seal, which kept Ruladak from fully re-connecting with the Rularuu.

They then went after the last seal, only to find it missing.

The heroes then battled the Nemesis Army to find the location of the 4th seal.

They recovered the seal and defeated General Fort, only to learn that Fort had been used and that Ruladak the Strong was already about to awaken.

Task Force Nova entered deep into his lair and battled Ruladak the Strong. Sara Moore could hardly contain herself, as she had just seen mythic heroes write the end chapter of the Legend of Ruladak.

Lusca Defeated - Independence Port Saved

Lusca the giant octopus threatens the waters of Independence Port. No one is certain how the beast got so large, though some have placed the blame on the polluting tendencies of Crey Technologies. Liberty Bell of the Elite Force was on hand with about thirty other heroes to take the humongous beast down.

Elite Force Embark on a MEGA Adventure

Members of Elite Force Shavaya and Sunstroke joined MEGAFORCE's call to arms and embarked on a task force for legendary hero Numina. The group was lead by Drathik of MEGAFORCE and also included heroes Judo-San, Heltende, Moradin's Fist, Vectura and Misty Meaner.

Numina, the greatest mystical heroine of our city spoke of a disturbance she had sensed somewhere in Paragon City. Her protege Infernal suggested a possible location, and there the Task Force was to free the hero Fatespinner from the Freakshow.

Still sensing something amiss, Numina locked onto a confluence of energy at a Crey facility. Traveling there records were discovered indicating that Crey had been searching for a hero designated only as 'Generation Zero'.

At somewhat of a mystical impasse, Numina contacted Manticore who pointed the team at a Nemesis facility. There they discovered a true horror. A young hero called Scout had been captured by Nemesis a generation ago and turned into one of their Warhulks. They freed him from a living death and he implored the team with his dying breath to seek the Woodsman.

With a specific target in mind Numina suggested that the task force speak to MAGI about a locating device of some kind. That lead them to recover the Shard of Kalak from the Circle of Thorns.

After attuning the Shard, Numina set the group upon an arduous path to try and locate Woodsman. The Shard tested their resolve greatly, but they managed to locate the area where Woodsman was abiding.

Following the trial, they ended up in a huge cave network where the Devouring Earth was returning the city back to nature. Within these caverns they encountered Jurassik, a huge legendary beast. Defeating this titan enabled them to gather the essence of Woodsman into the Shard, freeing him from the Devouring Earth's grasp.

Paladin Rampage In Kings Row

Sunstroke and about twenty other heroes stopped not one but two giant Clockwork Paladins. The first Paladin was still under construction when Sunstroke sent out an all points bulletin to help prevent the Clockwork from building the monster. Unbeknownst to the heroes at the time was that another Paladin was moments from being completed. Just as the first Paladin construction was destroyed an alarm was called that a Paladin was roaming the streets of Kings Row terrorizing its citizens. Sunstroke's group joined up with other heroes already at the scene and promptly destroyed the second Paladin.

Liberty Bell & The Scroll of Tielekku

The adventure began when Miriam Bloechl, a contact of Liberty Bell's, told her about some unusual activity in a warehouse. Investigating, she found Warriors fighting Banished Pantheon cultists as both groups searched the warehouse for something called the Scroll of Tielekku.

Bloechl found that the warehouse held the disputed estate of the deceased hero Ross 'Darkvine' Coldwell, a former member of the Midnight Squad. When Liberty Bell went to speak with the executor of the estate, She found the Banished Pantheon already on the premises, searching for the scroll. After defeating them, she found out that the Warriors had already absconded with the scroll.

Fortunately, she was able to track the Warriors down and recover the Scroll of Tielekku. Unfortunately, she still had no idea of the scroll's significance.

That changed when Bloechl was approached by Dr. Cheng, a renowned mystic scholar, who said that he might be able to translate the scroll. In order to do so, he would need reference materials that were currently in the hands of the Circle of Thorns, somewhere in the depths of their ancient city. Braving all dangers, Liberty Bell recovered the books and returned them to Dr. Cheng.

While she had been busy, her enemies had kidnapped Debbie Coldwell and Dr. Duncan Silver, the heirs to the Coldwell estate. She was able to free the heirs, but something wasn't right.

Too late she learned that Pantheon cultists had stolen the Scroll of Tielekku back from Dr. Cheng. Fortunately, he had already completed his translation. After reading through it, Liberty Bell learned the story of how the ancient goddess Tielekku was the first to discover magic, taught magic to gods and mortals, and used her skills to banish a pantheon of cannibal gods to the darkness. Alarmed by this information, she hastened to the Pantheon's hideout and retrieved the scroll.

Unfortunately, the Pantheon had already gleaned enough information to lay a trap for the goddess Tielekku. Liberty Bell attacked the Pantheon in Dark Astoria, and was able to alter the ritual. Instead of trapping the goddess, she sent a message to her, a warning that the dark gods she had banished so long ago were back. It is unknown if Tielekku heard it, or even if she still exists. But perhaps one day soon she'll return to help rid the world of the Banished Pantheon and its cult.

Sunstroke Trading Card Now Available

In celebration of two years of crime fighting and having collected 275 badges Sunstroke of the Elite Force has been forever immortalized as a trading card in the City of Heroes Collectable Card Game.

Ligress Helps Takes Down Kraken

Tuesday afternoon an alert was sent out all over Paragon City for heroes to come to Perez Park and take down the monster known as the Kraken. Ligress was on patrol and joined four other heroes to stop the behemoth Hydra creature. After the monster was slain the heroes were all awarded the Unleasher badge for their hard work.

Ligress has been busy this week. Just a day earlier she and other members of the Angels of Paragon joined forces to once again take down Tanya Tyler also known as the Devouring Earth monster Terra. She was thought to be "taken care of" a few weeks ago but had since reappeared. The Angels once again were called upon to track her down and apprehend her.
