The Omphalos of the World

There was a big surprise back at the Black Mesa.  Sally Nile returned, and she was bigger than ever.   She was very pregnant.   Pregnant with Fafnir's child. She came back and told CHESS that Dr. Nadir had planned to capture the Umphalos of the World.   Somewhere on the earth is the center or Omphalos  of the world.  This is the point where all magic seeps into our plane of existence.
    Needing time to do research,  she is confined to bed rest while a battery of tests is given to her to determine her, and her child’s health. It is revealed that she is carrying a tremendous egg.   It would have to be removed surgically.    She says she is not ready for such a procedure as she needs to figure out the location of the Omphalos.
   The Spartan and Oni are selected to be her body guards as they have the closest connection to magic,  Spartan being created by Dr. Nadir, and Oni from drinking of the Black Grail
     After three days of research, Sally figures out that the Omphalos is near Easter Island.   They depart immediate as they know Nadir has the jump on them.  Calling in Tide, as  their location  in the South Pacific would require someone with water based abilities, she meets them in San Diego.  They all go by boat to Easter Island.

Minutes after arriving,  they are a attacked by Queen Bitch and Wire Mother.    Queen Bitch is woman with a Doberman’s head.   She claims to be the direct descendant of Anubis.   She fights with expert hand to hand skills, and she seems to be a master of savate.   Wire Mother can lash out with razor sharp wires that coil over her entire body.   They both are vicious in their attacks.
      Queen Bitch is put down rather quickly, and Wire Mother turned out to be rather deadly.   She seemed to be knocked out after Spartan crushed her under a giant disc that he created from his Bronze Energy.
        As Tide, Spartan and Oni tried to catch their breath,  a new enemy popped out of nowhere.  Melvin Sharples, a 13 year old boy in a Rush T shirt  came out and hit on Tide.  Spartan, seeming to be able to tell how powerful the teenage was, attacked the boy with his sword.  Tide blasted Spartan with a full blast of her water abilities, pushing him back 30 feet.  She was horrified to see the Spartan attack the frail looking boy so savagely.
     Melvin then clocked Tide, knocking her out with one punch.   Oni tried to take out the boy with his force field blasts, only to have the kid’s unresisting flesh reflect the attack back at him.   
     After a few rounds of the kid flailing about like a fish,  Wire Mother came out of playing possum and speared Spartan through the eyes, killing him.  Dr Nadir appeared whisking Melvin away, saying that they are wasting valuable time.
     Sally Nile called in Powerhouse to transport Spartan’s body to the Black Mesa.    She goes into labor from the stress and is also airlifted by Powerhouse.
   
       At the Black Mesa,  Oni fills the Black Cauldron he recovered from his battle with Hildebrandt with blood from the medicinal faulity.   Sally Nile then talks to the being it is linked with and makes a deal.  She offers her son, the first hybrid Human Dragon on earth to this being in exchange for Spartan’s life.    Spartan comes back to life.   Sally Nile then finally lets the surgeons remove the egg.   

   Spartan vows to protect Sally’s child, as she has no intentions of going through with the deal.   

Powerhouse joins the team, and they go back to Easter Island.   Sally is left in the hospital to recover.

   While Yoshi waits for his friend the Spartan to recover from his near Death, no wait actual Death, experience he decides to go out and enjoy some long missed Japanese cuisine. After finishing a meal and a few cups of ocha Yoshi gets in his "Compnany" car to head back to the Mesa. Something is wrong. Something unsettles him. He looks in the rear view mirror and see's a face from the past waiting for him. He does not need these memories now. He has too much planned for his former Master. Of all people to send after him why did it have to be her...........

Yoshi's granfather, a lieutenet for the Secret Shogun AKA Johnny West, sent Tiger's Beautiful Daughter and Mother of Nine Spiders to persuade Yoshi to return to the Kodo cult.  They warned that if he refused Sun Chained in Ink would be forced to bring him back.
    A madness seized Yoshi as he turned to his Oni form and he defeated the two women.    The following day, Sun Chained in Ink attacked.
    Oni fought the plasma being, his force field repelling solar blast and flaming fist.  Sun Chained in Ink was stunned and while laying on the sand,   Oni rolled him into the waves of the Pacific.    When his plasma form touched the water, Sun Chained in Ink exploded fusing the sand in 150' into glass.
    The sound knocked out windows for miles.   The Spartan, awakened from his coma by the blast, leapt into action.   Forming his armour  Spartan ran to the beach and found  Powerhouse,  Oni,  Knock Out and Tide already there.
    The threat to Oni's life was temporarily over, they decided to get back to the primiary mission, to protec the Omphalos of the World.
    Taking a hydro foil boat, the team is attacked by persons unknown from a giant flying carpet.
     Melvin Sharples,  Ray Gun,  and Dr Nadir himself attack the heroes. 
    Knockout increases her mass and density to her maximun jumps onto the carpet  and punches Melvin square in the jaw.  The impact creates a shockwave so strong it rocks the hydrofoil causing Sally Nile to fall over board.
   Sally is cxtremly weak from her surgery giving birth to the huge dragon egg.  Realising this,  Spartan leaps and catches her, saving her from death.   Powerhouse flys into the stunned Melvin Sharples, who just stands there.  Powerhouse suffers a broken wrist for his trouble.
   Ray Gun adjusts his raygun, and fires a disintergration beam at Spartan, while Tide staggers him with a hydro blast.   Dr Nadir casts a spell that envelops  Powerhouse in engery and wisks him away.   "Begone!" he shouts as Powerhouse is taken away to some where unknown.
    Raygun stuns Tide with a paralysis ray and Oni' force blasts are deflected by Dr Nadir's aburations.
   Knockout hits Melvin once more and sends him flying into the ocean.  Dr Nadir sumons the "minions of the deep" to assit him in his plans of taking over the Omphalos of the World.   Spartan hears the sounds of battle below the waves as something, or somthings attack the stunned Tide.
    Spartan summons an axe from his bronze energy and attacks Ray Gun. He misses but he follows with a kick to his stomach that knocks him back.    Ray  Gun  fires a disintergration ray at  Spartan, partially dissolving his armor.    Spartan lifts him, and throws him into  the water.
  Oni jumps into the water, and in a rare display of compassion, uses his forcefiled to rescure a severly bleeding Tide from undersea mermen.
   Knock out, moving slowly from her extreme mass, manages to punch Dr Nadir.  The punch is so powerful, it overloads his defences, and explodes the head of the worlds greatest living sorceror.
  Sparatan also dives into the ocean to battle the sea creatures.
    Five or so greenish gray  frog/fish men attack.   Spartan turns his axe into a trident and launches a furious attack.  Fighting and repelling attacks, he keeps the Deep Ones at bay while Oni saves Tide. 
   On board the ship,  Spartan, desperate to save Tide's live, some how ( lucky roll) manages to stop the bleeding long enough for Tide to recieve proper medical treatment.
  After a very deadly battle,  the threat to the Omphalos is over.  Dr Nadir is confirmed dead,  Tide is near death, and Powerhouse is either dead at worst, missing at best.  Melvin is presumed dead, as he fell into the sea, as is Ray Gun.  When Tide is well enough, she is to search the sea for their bodies, or at least Ray Gun's ray gun.

The Oni was called to the Black King’s office.  In Anthony Montgomery’s office was the still living head of   the Thunderbolt.  It stared at Oni with sadness and pleading in his eyes.   Montgomery’s office was full of horrors;  a cup Ed Gein made from his own mother’s skull,  an original  clown painting by John Wayne Gacy,  and even the “magic” bullet from the grassy knoll.  Even Oni felt a little twinge of unease.
    “ I want the Black Grail on my shelf,”  He said to Oni.  “Its too powerful an artifact to remain in outside hands.  I want you to go back to the Kodo Cult.  Pretend you have come to your senses.  You have a primary and secondary objectives. One to get the Black Grail and bring it  to me. Two, to get me a second head for my desk; that traitor Johnny West’s.”
       Oni was dismissed.    He was next called into  Joe Turner’s office, AKA Nexus.
 
   He was shown photograph’s of Dr. Nadir’s autopsy.  They went over Nadir’s death till Oni’s red skin was almost blue.  Even beheaded, they were taking no chances, the body would be put  in the Ice Box with a 24 hour guard.  I mean,  Nadir was  a servant of a regenerating snake god of resurrection.   They decided to err on the side of caution.

  The Dr Nadir business was not finished.   A few T’s had to be crossed and a bunch of I still needed some dots.    First off,  was Powerhouse still alive?  What about Ray Gun?   His gun was just a plastic toy.   How did it fire off paralysis rays and disintegration rays?
Where is Melvin Sharples?  Did he drown?    Too many loose ends.
     Tide was hospitalized when she went to the bottom of the ocean to investigate the Omphalos.   She was severely wounded by a gigantic talking crab.   The Omphalos has guardians. 
      Tommy Gordon was the last acolyte of Dr Nadir.  He was found comatose in  Nadir’s San Diego  estate. He was brought to Sharp Memorial Hospital where he was revived and questioned by Oni and Nexus. 
       Nexus telepathically learned that Gordon was a student and was promised vast magical knowledge by Nadir.  After a ritual that empowered Wire Mother, Bitch Queen, Melvin Sharples, and Ray Gun,  Gordon was rendered unconscious.   The spell that grants paranormal abilities can sometimes bring pain, death and insanity.  Gordon was a write off and left for dead.      The power took longer to awaken.   Nexus, sensing that Gordon had paranormal abilities,  made Gordon sign a contract that forced him to work for CHESS until they saw fit to release him.   
   Meanwhile, Spartan is standing guard, watching Sally Nile’s egg.  It seems the shell has shown its first sign of cracking…
