THE QUESTION

How old is Robyn Hood?

I'm going to say 17. I like the number and my gut tells me to say it.

 

TIE-BREAK STATEMENT

I read The Amazing Adventures of Cactus Man because he reminds me of Deadpool with his comments and it is a well written dynasty. I wish Cactus Man was real. The films would be good. ¬_¬

<p><strong>How old is Robyn Hood?</strong></p><p>

18</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>TIE-BREAK STATEMENT</strong></p><p>

I read The Amazing Adventures of Cactus Man because despite being something of a comic book novice, I find Cactus Man to be very much a comic book superhero. His Amazing Adventures flow like a comic book, read like a comic book and, as much as is possible for a forum, look like a comic book. The Amazing Adventures of Cactus Man never feels like the output from a game, yet if you sit and study an issue it is possible to tell how you arrived at this storyline. I read The Amazing Adventures of Cactus Man because it's one of the best diaries on this forum, regardless of which game it is written for.</p>

Many thanks to the 4 of you that entered. Due to the not so hot response I'm choosing to believe that Cactus Man is read mainly by guests and its not just google spider-bots looking at it over and over again <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

The Special Issue will be up over the holidays, but not before the final exciting installment of Volume#1 of The Amazing Adventures of Cactus Man!</p></div><p></p><p></p>

<strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Part 1</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/828/shpd.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

Jimmy handed over Highway Mistress into the custody of the Desk-Sergeant and went straight to see Captain Mersa. The captain's door was locked. Jimmy returned to his desk and found an envelope addressed to him, he opened it</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/5329/note2.gif</span></p><p> </p><p>

As he finished reading there was a knock at the open door, Jimmy turned around</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4995/officerhyatt.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#0000FF;">Officer Hyatt reporting for duty, sir</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

*****************************</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/828/shpd.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

Three days later Jimmy had finally got Officer Hyatt up to speed and by the magic of buracracy Officer Hyatt had become Sergeant Hyatt in the blink of an eye, another parting gift from the former Captain.</p><p> </p><p>

Jimmy got a phone-call.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">James</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/8330/tegani.jpg</span></p><p>

<span style="color:#483D8B;"><strong>Hey boss. Just thought you'd wanna know, Robbie's been discharged, she's home!</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Tegan, you've just made my day! Tell her I'll pop by after work.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

***************************</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7453/robapt.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

Jimmy sat on a sofa in Roberta and Tegan's appartment, Tegan had gone to wake Roberta. He got up and looked at the medical books of=n a shelf. He went to look at one entitled 'Meta-Humans: Wonder Beings or a Surgeon's Nightmare?' but it would not come off the shelf. The wall next to him slid away, revealing Robyn Hood's suit and equipment hanging on the wall, as well as a coat-stand which held the clothing and equipment of Wyllow Scarlet.</p><p> </p><p>

<span style="color:#00FF00;"><strong>See, I told you that book was too interesting to use Tegan</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Jimmy turned around</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/4210/robynhoodbandc.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Robbie! You're looking so much better!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

He rushed over and hugged her. After a slightly uncomfortable amount of time Tegan coughed, and the pair seperated again. Jimmy blushed slightly and looked away</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">Jeez, you'd think I'd nearly died! hehe Anyway mister, where've you been the last three days?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Well...</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Jimmy filled Roberta and Tegan in on the events at the station.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/8330/tegani.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#483D8B;">So you really are the boss now huh? What does Cactus Man think about all this?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Jimmy looked at Roberta, she shook her head ever-so slightly</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Well, he's glad Norwood is gone, but he's pretty worried that Roberta's cover is blown. Maybe you guys should move, get a new place, change names...</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">Don't worry Jimmy, its fine. I've never booked in to a hospital in my real name. Tegan set up a fake ID and insurance forms years ago. Poor Mary Taylor, always geting into accidents.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

The two girls laughed. Jimmy was visibley releaved.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Oh, that's a weight off my mind! But you can never use that again you know?</span></strong> </p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/8330/tegani.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#483D8B;">Don't worry boss, already covered</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Tegan flashed an ID with Roberta's photo in the name of Dita Reywood</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Ladies, you never cease to amaze me! Robbie, I'm sorry, I wish we could just hang for a bit but I did have another reason for coming over. </span></strong></p><p>

(he turned to Tegan)</p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">I've had a report that Smouldering Fire has gone missing again, he tried going after Miss Arsenic for some info on this myterious 'Master' and never came back. It seems like he's trying for his own mini-series or something. Would Wyllow Scarlet be up for giving Cactus Man a hand finding him Tegan?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

She grabbed her gear and ran into her room to change.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">Jimmy, I can help too</span></strong></p><p>

(she took his hand)</p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">I want too...</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

They gazed into each other's eyes...</p><p> </p><p>

And Wyllow Scarlet burst into the room</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">And where shall I meet my fellow hero fair detective?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Both Jimmy and Roberta rolled their eyes. Jimmy looked at Roberta and raised one eyebrow quizically</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg</span></p><p>

<span style="color:#00FF00;"><strong>Hey, it's cute when I do it!</strong></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

****************************</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/1696/sannight.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

Cactus Man and Wyllow Scarlet pulled up outside the same disused warehouse that they had faced Violet Blur and Chess Master only days before</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">Here? Really?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Jimmy's new partner checked it out, there's definately someone in there and the deeds are in the name Peter Brommfield, that's Lead Man! Gotta be worth a try red.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

The two snuck inside and saw Smouldering Fire tied up with two women standing over him</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2786/missarsenic.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#9932CC;">Ya see darlin, ah told ya tha flameproof rope would hold.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/75/honeybadger.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF00FF;">Yeah baby! You nailed it!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Cactus Man & Wyllow Scarlet stepped from the shadows</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>Hold, vile harlots! Prepare to meet the end of your evil plans at the hands of Wyllow Scarlet and Cactus Man!</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span><span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<span>http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/3290/80757357.jpg</span></p><p>

<span>http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2786/missarsenic.jpg</span><span>http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2016/honeybadgeru.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<span style="color:#006400;"><strong>You take big hair girl, I'll take the southern belle, I got a score to settle</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Wyllow ran at Honey Badger. Honey Badger Kicked wildly at her, but Wyllow sidestepped the attack and hit Honey Badger with her Taser.</p><p> </p><p>

Wyllow stood over her</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>When will you people learn that crime does not pay?</strong></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<strong><em>MEANWHILE...</em></strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Miss Arsenic drew her Katana and launched herself at Cactus Man. He managed to block her first Slice with a forcefield but then she spun around and buried the sword up to the hilt in his side!</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">AAARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH, NOT AGAIN!!!!!!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

He pulled the sword out with a sickening noise and threw it into the shadows. He turned to the wide-eyed Arsenic, his hand growing.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">How's ya ass doing after Robyn perferated it? You know, when you set us up and she nearly died? Well, time for you to get a body to match!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Her smashed her with his Giant Cactus Palm.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>...</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Honey Badger, having now stopped convulsing, swung her Claws at Wyllow's legs, but Wyllow jumped the blow and backed away. Honey Badger rose and ran at Wyllow, this time receiving a Roundhouse Kick to the head which spun her in mid-air and left her, once again, on the floor</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">To stay down would truely benefit you right now, harlot.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>...</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Having turned to check on how Scarlet was doing Cactus Man was not concentrating on his own foe. A fact he paid for when one of Miss Arsenic's Longbow Arrows went straight through his leg!</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">OWWWW! What the hell!!??!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

He turned and fired a volley of Cactus Energy Spines at Miss Arsenic which knocked her down.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>...</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Honey Badger had got back up.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2016/honeybadgeru.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF00FF;">Honey, get a grip on yourself! In the world of stars your just the mic check girl!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Honey Badger launched a Kick at Wyllow, but she easily blocked it with her Quarter-Staff</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">Really? OK. CHECK! ONE...</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Wyllow hit Honey Badger in the gut with her Quarter-Staff, doubling the villain over</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">....TWO!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

She swung the staff around again and delivered a Blow to the back of Honey Badger's head that knocked her out cold.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg</span><span>http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2016/honeybadgeru.jpg</span><span>http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>...</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Miss Arsenic lay on the floor bleeding. She pulled out one of her Handguns and fired at Catcus Man, but her hands were too shakey and she missed wildly. He smiled.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Awww, the world class assassin missed. Shame I wont!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Cactus Man produced a Prison of Arubanon energy net and threw it over Miss Arsenic. The net discharged and Arsenic passed out</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg</span><span>http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2786/missarsenic.jpg</span><span>http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

***************************</p><p> </p><p>

Cactus Man and Wyllow Scarlet untied Smouldering Fire and tied up the villains. Cactus Man called Sergeant Hyatt to pick up the villains, then decided to conduct a little interogation while Wyllow looked after Smouldering Fire with her Medi-Kit. He pulled a folding chair up and sat on it backwards facing the villainous women.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">So ladies. You've got two choises. A. You can tell me what I want to know and go to jail. Or B. You can refuse to tell me and go to the hospital, maybe the mourge. Which is it going to be?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2016/honeybadgeru.jpg</span></p><p>

<span style="color:#FF00FF;"><strong>We'll never tell you anything! We'd never betray the masters...</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Pural now huh?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Miss Arsenic turned to Honey Badger</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2786/missarsenic.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#9932CC;">Darlin, good thing ya pretty, cos ya sure are dumb</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

She turned back to Cactus Man.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2786/missarsenic.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#9932CC;">I tell ya what darlin, you let me go, I'll tell you what you wanna know.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Wyllow walked over.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">You're in no position to bargain with us, harlot!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">Cactus Man, that's forty minutes from now!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Cactus Man untied Miss Arsenic.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Now, you leave this town, ya don't come back. I see you again, I'll make sure you get what's comin to you, all 20,000 volts, got it?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Miss Arsenic nodded and walked away</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2016/honeybadgeru.jpg</span></p><p>

<span style="color:#FF00FF;"><strong>You can't leave me here with them!!!</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Miss Arsenic looked at Honey Badger, then Cactus Man and Wyllow, then back to Honey Badger</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2786/missarsenic.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#9932CC;">Darlin, you aint worth it.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

She took out a coin and flipped it at Honey Badger, it landed in her lap.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2786/missarsenic.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#9932CC;">That's for your phone call darlin, enjoy your stay. haahaha.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Cactus Man and Wyllow Scarlet pulled up outside the 4Chan building. Wyllow checked her watch</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">9:55 and no sign of him, you reckon she was lying Cactus Man?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Five minutes, we'll see.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/6230/robynhoodband.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">So five minutes he will be,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

Bet you were not expecting me,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

And before you start dont you worry,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

I can still fire arrows in a flurry.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

So good to see you Cactus Man,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

Now tell me quick, what's the plan?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Ya know what sweetcheeks, I've actually missed ya rhyming. How did you find us?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/6230/robynhoodband.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">Ah, Wyllow and I have GPS,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

Now to find the other there is no guess!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">Robbie, you sure you're OK to do this? Me an Cactus Man can handle it.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/6230/robynhoodband.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">Of this dear friend I have no doubt,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

I trust your skills, no need to pout,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

But there's no way I can sit on the sidelines,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

While my good friends have the fun times!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Well if ya sure sweetcheeks...</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Just then a van screeched to a halt outside the studios, the rear wheels low in their suspension and the windows blacked out. The rear doors opened, and out climbed Lead Man.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/9932/leadman.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">STOP RIGHT THERE LEAD MAN! GIVE IT UP NOW AND YOU WONT GET HURT!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9932/leadman.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#808080;">HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Is this what is meant to stop me? Two little girls and a green squishy thing?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">Villain, I believe you underestimate the peril you find yourself in.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/6230/robynhoodband.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">Surrender villain, last chance you get,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

Or you'll fall at the hands of Cactus Man, Robyn Hood and Wyll Scarlet!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9932/leadman.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#808080;">I used to be a star! I shall have my revenge on EVERYONE!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span><span>http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/6230/robynhoodband.jpg</span><span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span></p><p>

<span>http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/3290/80757357.jpg</span></p><p>

<span>http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9932/leadman.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

As Lead Man began lumbering towards them Robyn loosed a Taser Arrow that hit him square in the chest. Being made of metal the electicity flowed across his body, momentarily stunning him. Cactus Man took the advantage and hit Lead Man with an Energy Charged Punch</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><em>*CLANG*</em></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9932/leadman.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#808080;">HAHAHAHAHAHA! Lead Man is unbreakable, can you say the same?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Lead Man threw a Heavy Lead Punch at Robyn Hood's head.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><em>*CLANG*</em></strong> </p><p> </p><p>

Lead Man's fist had been stopped an inch away from Robyn's face by one of Cactus Man's forcefields. Robyn jumped back and fired a Regular Arrow at Lead Man, but it simpley bouced of his metal skin and pin-wheeled away</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9932/leadman.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#808080;">HAHAAHAHAHAAH!!!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Wyllow Scarlet launched a Roundhouse Kick at Lead Man's head</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><em>*CLANG*</em></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Wyllow hopped around, holding her foot. Cactus Man produced a Prison of Arubanon energy net an threw it over Lead Man, who dropped to a crouch as the net discharged.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">That's more like it! Get him!!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Robyn fired another Regular Arrow, once again with no effect. Wyllow smacked her Quarter-Staff over Lead Man's back, but only left the tiniest of dents in his metallic skin. Cactus Man fired a volley of Cactus Energy Spines at the still prone Lead Man. This time Lead Man reacted</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9932/leadman.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#808080;">ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Furious, he ripped his way out of the spent energy net and hit Wyllow with a Heavy Lead Punch that sent her flying</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/6230/robynhoodband.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

</span></strong></p><p>

Cactus Man hit Lead Man with a Disc Blast that knocked the metallic villain against a wall.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Robbie, thats it! Energy and electic work better on this chump, use your Taser Arrows!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Robyn loosed a Taser Arrow, which once again seemed to cause Lead Man great pain. Wyllow ran out of the shadows and swung her Quarter-Staff at his head like a baseball bat.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><em>*SMASH*</em></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Wyllow's Quarter-Staff shattered on Lead Man's skull. He turned around unfazed and hit he with another Heavy Lead Punch that knocked her to the ground. Cactus Man made a cactus symbol in the air and blew his Magical Peyote Dust in Lead Man's face, Lead Man simpley stood there swaying</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Ahh, magic too! Sweeeeet!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Robyn loosed another Taser Arrow which sent sparks rippling over Lead Man's body. As he began to fall forwards Cactus Man hit him with an Energy Charged Punch that knocked him back to a standing position.</p><p> </p><p>

Wllyow, clutching her ribs, limped up to Lean Man and rammed her Taser in his chest. Being much more powerfull that Robyn's arrows, Lead Man's body shook as the electicity flowed through him. His eyes opened</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9932/leadman.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#808080;">RRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong><em>*CLANG*</em></strong></p><p> </p><p>

He delivered a furious Lead Headbutt to Wyllow that knocked her out cold</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg</span><span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span><span>http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

Lead Man's chest exploded in sparks as another of Robyn's Taser Arrows hit home. The multiple electrical discharges draining him, Lead Man dropped to one knee and Robyn notched another Taser Arrow</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/6230/robynhoodband.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">You best pray that she doth live,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

Or no mercy will I give,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

Your villainy I can not stand,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

I've near died at your kind's hand,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

I fact, no more mercy will I show,</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">

MINE shall be the final blow!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

She took the Taser Arrow in her hand, walked up to Lead Man and rammed it into his temple. He dropped to the floor, unconcious.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg</span><span>http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9932/leadman.jpg</span><span>http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

The van that Lead Man had arrived in had simpley been sat there all this time, but now it sped into gear and aimed itself squarely at Robyn Hood and Wyllow</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">I don't think so!!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Cactus Man fired a Disc Blast at the van which flipped it onto it's side. It skidded passed Robyn, who was trying to protect the still unconcious Wyllow. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

**************************************</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Cactus Man climbed on to the van and dragged out the driver, one of Chess Master's Pawns. Cactus Man threw the Pawn on to the ground, Robyn tied him up. Cactus Man grabbed the semi-concious passenger but he was far too heavy, so he kicked out the windscreen and dragged him out that way.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Now, who do we have here?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

He rolled the fat man over.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3451/feloniusmonk.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Who the hell is this?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#48D1CC;">I can answer that...</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7515/cosmicgirl.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Cosmic Girl?!?</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/7515/cosmicgirl.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#48D1CC;">That's right my friend, Cosmic Girl, doer of good, leader of The Union, yada yada yada. That is Felonius Monk, a leader of The Masters of the Underworld. It all becomes clear now he is unmasked. Hysteria and Lead Man are two of The Underworld's top people in San Habbershon, of course they would be in charge of a project to destroy The Union. Monk must have decided to make the trip from Ravenholme to supervise this final gambit.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">But Lead Man never sent out his message so how...</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/7515/cosmicgirl.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#48D1CC;">Sergeant Hyatt let us know what was going on, we arrived just in time to see Ms Hood deliver the final blow to Lead Man and you save your friends. It must be said, I'm very impressed.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

The pair walked over to Robyn, who was helping Wyllow to her feet.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/7515/cosmicgirl.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#48D1CC;">Cactus Man, we were all greatly saddened by Neutron Man's passing, we all owe you a huge debt in bringing his killers and their master to justice... </span></strong></p><p>

(she took a deep breath)</p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#48D1CC;">But we must move on. Cactus Man, The Union needs a new fourth mamber. I would be honoured if you would join us.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Cactus Man stared at her, then turned to look at Robyn and Wyllow. He turned back to Cosmic Girl</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Ya know, thanks for the offer an all. But I've already got a team an they mean more to me than anything your glitz n glamour high flying TV team could ever offer me...</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

He backed up and stood between Robyn and Wyllow, a secutiry floodlight motion sensor saw the movement and chose that moment to brightly illuminate the three heroes</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg</span><span>http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg</span><span>http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/6230/robynhoodband.jpg</span></p><p>

<strong><span style="color:#006400;">Cos we're Cactus Man and his Amazing Friends!!!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

 

http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/2888/centsnow.jpg

 

It was Christmas. Jimmy, Roberta and Tegan had all returned to Centenary City for the holidays. However, the Chief of Police had asked Jimmy for a favour. Who'd have thought one little favour could lead to this.

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_Xmas.jpg

Come on Cactus Man, stop procrastinating,

We must not keep our fans awaiting.

 

It's alright for you sweetcheeks, you just get to wear a cute hat...

 

Cactus Man stepped out of the Changing Room

 

http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/8543/cactuschristmas.jpg

...I have to dress up like this!

 

Robyn tried to cover her laughter.

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_XmasSmall.jpg

Oh my, your likeness, it is a sinch,

You look just like The Grinch!

 

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8543/cactuschristmas.jpg

Yeah, yeah, very funny. Lets just get on with it yeah? I don't even like kids an, lets face it, I'm a health an safety nightmare!

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_XmasSmall.jpg

Come my friend, be filled with cheer,

Snotty noses are nothing to fear,

Our populartiy has risen some,

After appearing on The Union,

We can't let the chance pass,

To light up an orphan's life at Christmas!

 

 

******************************

 

 

http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/2769/orphanagek.jpg

 

The heroes pulled up outside the orphanage. Cactus Man noticed a white van tucked arund the corner of the building. As they had been asked to enter around the back the heroes headed that way.

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_XmasSmall.jpg

Cactus Man, wait a sec,

I just have to check,

(she ran back to the window they had just passed)

Cactus Man, somethings afoot,

Come quick and take a look.

 

Cactus Man walked over and looked through the window. He saw all the orphans tied up, along with the building's staff.

 

They heard talking from around the corner by the van

 

So, you reckon this will work boy?

 

Sure thing boss, Robyn Hood's definately in town so guaranteed Cactus Man won't be far away, all we have to do is ring it in, they'll be here.

 

Good work boy, Cactus Man will pay for messing with The Masters of the Underworld!

 

Cactus Man and Robyn jumped around the corner to confront the unknown villains

 

http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/2944/hullabaloo.jpg

Well, well, well. Looks like we won't even have to do that!

 

http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/3286/sharpshooterf.jpg

See boss, I'm just that good!

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_XmasSmall.jpg

Sharpshooter, I should have known,

After last time I'd have thought you'd grown,

Out of your wicked compullcion,

No matter, we shall ensure your expulsion,

Failure will be the result of your plan,

Say Robyn Hood and Cactus Man!

 

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8543/cactuschristmas.jpghttp://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_XmasSmall.jpg

http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2944/hullabaloo.jpghttp://img85.imageshack.us/img85/1543/sharpshooters.jpg

 

Robyn fired a Regular Arrow at Sharpshooter which caught him in the leg.

 

http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/1543/sharpshooters.jpg

AHHHHGGGGHHHHHHHGGGGGGG!!!

 

 

MEANWHILE...

 

 

http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2944/hullabaloo.jpg

You'll pay for meddling in our plans Cactus Man... LET'S TURN UP THE VOLUME!!!

 

Hulabaloo lauched a Sonic Wave that blasted Cactus Man through the wall of the orphanage. He followed him into the building

 

 

...

 

 

http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/1543/sharpshooters.jpg

You shouldn't have done that Robbie!

 

He fired a Flaming Arrow at Robyn Hood, but missed as she fired an arrow with a line attached at a tree, jumped and delivered a crunching Swinging Kick to Sharpshooter. She landed lightly in the tree. Sharpshooter fired a Normal Arrow at Robyn, luckily for her it simply bounced off the cast on her leg. She responded with a Taser Arrow that hit home and floored Sharpshooter again.

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_XmasSmall.jpg

Kal, will you never learn?

Don't you ever want, no, yearn,

To be better than your peers,

No, you just grovel there in fear,

Forever just a master's pawn,

I almost feel sorry... Time to eat lawn!

 

She swung down and hit a second Swinging Kick, this time to the head, knocking Sharpshooter out cold

 

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpghttp://img85.imageshack.us/img85/1543/sharpshooters.jpghttp://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg

 

 

...

 

 

Cactus Man, picked himself up out of the wreckage, luckily they had not burst into the room full of hostages.

 

http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2944/hullabaloo.jpg

My Masters' plot to detroy The Union tooks months to plan, you foiled every scheme, every plot. One like you must be delt with without delay..

 

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8543/cactuschristmas.jpg

Oh, Shut Up!!

 

Cactus Man first a Disc Blast at Hulabaloo that threw him through the opening in the wall and into the side of the van.

 

Cactus Man stepped forward, but felt dizzy. He launched a volley of Cactus Energy Spines at the villain but missed, the blast knocking the van on to its side.

 

 

...

 

 

Robyn looked around from the unconcsious Sharpshooter at the sound of the blast. As Hulabaloo looked ready to attack she loosed a Taser Arrow whish found it's mark. Hulabaloo turned to face her

 

http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2944/hullabaloo.jpg

Let's see how well you can shoot little girl when you can't see straight

 

He swept his hands in her direction. Robyn was hit by the full force of his Disorientation Waves. She sat down hard on the ground. Cactus Man grabbed Hulabaloo's shoulder and spun him around.

 

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8543/cactuschristmas.jpg

Never take your eye's off the prize!

 

Cactus Man hit him with an Energy Charged Punch that sent him skidding over the snow towards a recovered Robyn Hood. She stood over Hulabaloo, notched a Taser Arrow and drew back her bow.

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_XmasSmall.jpg

So noisey man, why so loud,

Your parents must be so proud,

But now my friend's put you in your place,

Time for me to shut your face!

 

She loosed the Taser Arrow. Sparks flew and Hulabaloo passed out.

 

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpghttp://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2944/hullabaloo.jpghttp://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg

 

*************************

 

 

The kids released, the presents given out, Cactus Man and Robyn went off duty. They went to Roberta's parents house, where the Christmas party was in full swing.

Merry Christmas kiddo! And this must be your friend Jimmy! Heard a lot about you son, go too meet ya, you ever need a used car, you let me know ;)

Dad! Stop trying to sell cars, it's Christmas!

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

A pleasure to meet you sir.

 

Roberta's mother walked into the room

 

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7679/momaq.jpg

Oh, Robbie, glad you're back. We found three more presents under the tree, one for you, one for Detective James and one for both of you. Is there something we should know...

 

Jimmy blushed

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

MOM! Jeeeez, no...

 

Jimmy read the tag on the joint present.

 

'OPEN THESE ALONE'

 

 

****************************

Jimmy and Roberta went to her old room. Roberta opened the joint gift. It was a screen. A familiar face to Jimmy appeared on it.

 

http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/4568/thedetective.jpg

Ah, Detective Jimmy James and Ms Roberta Hitchins, Merry Christmas to you both. I just wanted you to know I have been watching you both closely, and what I see pleases me and so I give you these gifts. Ms Hitchins, please, open my gift to you

 

Robbie ripped off the paper, inside was a case of 10 arrows.

 

http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/4568/thedetective.jpg

My gift, in honour of your masterfull defeat of Hullabaloo, a case of Sonic Arrows and instructions on how to construct more. The arrow reaches super-sonic speeds in the blink of an eye. The arrow may shatter, but the resultant sonic wave should give your foes something to think about. And now for you Detective.

 

Jimmy opened his gift, a small box. Inside was a crystal, gently glowing purple.

 

http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/4568/thedetective.jpg

My gift to you, keeper of the Disc of Arubanon, is one of the four Crystals of Hydunfarga. Once you place it in the energy pools of the disc it will unlock a further Power of the Disc. I know not of the power it would give a corrupted Disc such as yours, but I know this is the Crystal of Poison.

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

Thank you sir, your gifts are most welcomely received, though I do not know you

 

http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/4568/thedetective.jpg

I'm sure Detective James can fill you in. You are most welcome by the way, till we meet again, Robyn Hood and Cactus Man.

 

 

*****************************

 

 

The pair returned downstairs. As they reached the foot of the stairs Tegan came racing up to them.

 

http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/8330/tegani.jpg

Stop!

(They stopped)

Look up.

(They looked up)

Misteltoe! Now you gotta kiss!

 

They looked at each other, leant forward...

 

And were blinded by a bright flash! They stood there blinking

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

TEGAN!!!!

 

http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/8330/tegani.jpg

Sorry, just tring to capture a moment, my finger slipped! Lets get a proper one, Benny, come over here and take this.

 

http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/6049/benson1.jpg

OK, one sec T!

 

He put down his drink and took the camera. The three of them posed.

 

http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/6049/benson1.jpg

Say 'Merry Christmas!'

 

The three looked straight into camera, as if they were breaking a fourth walk of some kind

Hey wait a second I know that guy, it's Perry Knox! I would know that horrible sports coat from anywhere.:p

 

Seriously though, I have been meaning to come in here and tell you what a great job you have been doing with this diary. I must say Robyn is looking pretty good with her green hat on (Why did I just write that about a fake character...):o.

Great stuff by the way, I just realised I hadn't commented on the thread yet. I've been reading. Oh, and if I didn't comment in the locations picture thread, I think those are aweseome as well!

 

Can't wait for the next/first issue coming up with new characters!

VOLUME#2

ISSUE#1

 

http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1564/sanx.jpg

 

San Habbershon! Home of the showbiz elite, the blockbuster and the world famous San Habbershon Sign. Home also of the famous superhero team The Union

 

http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/1300/billboard1v.jpg

 

As Detective Jimmy James walked to work he saw what he felt was the 100000th billboard hyping Season 3 of The Union. He shook his head and continued to work

 

http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/828/shpd.jpg

 

Jimmy walked into his office

 

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4995/officerhyatt.jpg

Morning detective.

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Morning Sergeant, what's the good word?

 

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4995/officerhyatt.jpg

A mixed bag this morning boss. The EAL/Turner Bros production chief sent this through to give us a heads up:

 

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/6237/unionposter2.jpg

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Who the hell are these guys?

 

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4995/officerhyatt.jpg

They are the 'Try-Outs', they are finally trying to replace Neutron Man. From left to right we have: RPM, he's a speedster...

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Why would they even bother? I figured Speed Burst would replace her dead boyfriend?

 

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4995/officerhyatt.jpg

I'm guessing this is all to try and balance out the genders sir. Smouldering Fire is the only man on the team now and it looks like, as Cactus Man turned them down, they want to find a new man.

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Good deduction Sergeant. Please, continue

 

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4995/officerhyatt.jpg

OK, next up, Stupor Man. He's got the power to make people sleepy, not great for TV. Third is Rook. He can slow time and fire energy bolts, but his powers quite often fail him. And finally, National Goliath. He's a patriotic guy who can grow to a massive size

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

And we have contact details for these new heroes?

 

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4995/officerhyatt.jpg

Same as before, we go though the production team.

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Ok, no problem there. So, a mixed bag...?

 

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4995/officerhyatt.jpg

Yes boss, on the flip side it seems like every whacko in town has decided they want to be a supervillain! We've got nothing official but one of my sources tells me that someone is even setting up a rival reality show to The Union with more focus on the villains...

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

WHAT!!?!! Can they do that?

 

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4995/officerhyatt.jpg

According to San Habbershon law, you can do what you like to the city while filming anything, as long as you pay for the damage. One of those things that got pushed through in the 30s when the studios owned the town. As long as they pay up its no problem legally.

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Oh for godsake..... man, what a town!

 

Jimmy's pager went off

 

http://i.imgur.com/Kzinu.gif

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Sorry Sergeant, I have to head out again. Page me if you need me

 

 

********************************

 

 

http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9181/billboard2z.jpg

 

Tegan opened the door,

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Hi Tegan, I got here as quick as I could

 

Jimmy walked in and was greeted by the view of the Union try-out team outside the appartment window.

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Jeeez, could they have got it any closer to your window?

 

http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/8330/tegani.jpg

I know! Although I gotta admit, the guy in purple looks pretty dishy...

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

No time for that now Tegan, you said it was an emergency, please tell me that rediculous poster isn't it!

 

Tegan looked hurt

 

http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/8330/tegani.jpg

No, of course not! It's Robbie, she never came home last night!

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

What? Was she out patrolling? She didnt say...

 

http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/8330/tegani.jpg

No, she was filming for her new part in Wendy the Vampire Hunter, she wasn't due back till like 3, so I didn't wait up. I got up, she wasn't here. I rang her, no answer. It's not like her boss, she'd let me know.

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Well maybe she stayed with friends or somethin.....

 

Jimmy's pager went off

 

http://i.imgur.com/jxo8y.gif

 

Jimmy rang Sergeant Hyatt

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Yeah?

 

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4995/officerhyatt.jpg

Just had a call sir. Someone, from the accent I'd say a Brit, says they have Robyn Hood. They want Cactus Man and Wyllow Scarlet to meet them.

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

OK, page me the address and I'll get them on it!

 

 

*********************************

 

 

http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/5616/billboard3.jpg

 

The address was downtown. Cactus Man and Wyllow pulled up outside. After a long stair-climb they burst through the building's roof door to find a woman standing over a bound and gagged Robyn Hood

 

http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/2511/highwaymistress.jpg

Allo allo! Bout time yow shuwed up!

 

She pointed her Pistol at Robyn's head

 

http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2511/highwaymistress.jpg

Nao sudden maoves or I'll blo er ead clean orf!

 

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg

I thought you would have had enough of a beating last time villain! What do you want messenger girl?

 

http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2511/highwaymistress.jpg

What we want is for yow tawo t die!!

 

She pointed her pistol at the pair and fired

 

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpghttp://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpghttp://img835.imageshack.us/img835/3290/80757357.jpghttp://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2511/highwaymistress.jpg

 

The shot hit Wyllow Scarlet's Quarter-Staff, sending it spinning away

 

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg

My staff!

 

Cactus Man launched a volley of Cactus Energy Spines whick blew Highway Mistress to the ground. Wyllow walked over to her

 

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg

You'll pay for kidnapping my friend villain!

 

Wyllow hit her with her Taser, Highway Mistress convulsed. Wyllow turned to Cactus Man

 

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg

Well, that was easier than...

 

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg

WATCH OUT!

 

Wyllow dived out of the way just as Highway Mistress fired a Pistol Shot at her back

 

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg

OK, time to see it I've got this right.

 

Cactus Man concentrated, and a purple liquid coated one of his Cactus Spines. He fired the now Toxic Cactus Spine at Highway Mistress. She looked at the spine sticking out of her arm and laughed

 

http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2511/highwaymistress.jpg

Is that all yow got? It didn even urt.....

 

She turned pale, looked at Cactus Man, threw up and fell over

 

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpghttp://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2511/highwaymistress.jpghttp://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg

 

 

*********************************

 

Cactus Man untied Robyn Hood

 

http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/1552/robynhood.jpg

Many thanks my dearest friends,

I was worried I had met my end.

 

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg

What happened sweetcheeks?

 

http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/1552/robynhood.jpg

I was driving home late from shooting,

Highway Mistress I saw, clearly looting,

From a car parked next to hers,

A rich couple, the woman in furs.

I stopped, got changed, and returned,

Of defeat, I was not concerned,

But although the couple, they ran free,

Someone got the jump on me!

A furry figure, bright red in colour,

Of his likeness I have seen no other.

 

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5310/wyllow.jpg

One of the Ape'd Crusaders maybe?

 

http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/1552/robynhood.jpg

No my friend, not one of them,

I would know if I saw him again.

(she reached into he arrow quiver)

However it seems he's left a note,

I imagine a way for him to gloat.

 

She passed it to Cactus Man

 

http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/636/note3.jpg

 

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg

Wonderfull, juuuuuuust wonderfull...

http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/9207/graveyardr.jpg

 

Roberta hurried through the graveyard, looking all around her. She heard a noise off to the right and turned to look. From behind a figure rushed her, grabbed her hair, pulled her head to one side and bit into her neck as she screamed, gurgled and dropped to the floor.

 

CUT!!

 

The lights came on and Roberta picked herself up & patted the dust off her clothes

 

OK, TAKE FIVE FOLKS!

 

The atmosphere of the sound studio relaxed as the majority of the cast and crew alike hurried to the catering table. Roberta walked over to the director

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

So Mr Rhedon, how am I doing?

 

http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/1029/johnrhedon.jpg

I keep telling you, call me John! Kid, you're hitting it every time! I've never seen such consistancy from someone just starting out in the business. You keep it up, one day you'll be a star in this town!

 

Roberta blushed

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

Geee, thanks John

 

http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/1029/johnrhedon.jpg

No problem kid, I call it how I see it. Now if ya dont mind...

 

He gestured to the Key Grip stood behind her to come forward and Roberta walked over to the star of Wendy the Vampire Hunter, Wendy Winters aka Sandy Spokane who was stood at the props table

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

Hey Sandy, what do you reckon? Was that scene OK?

 

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/8306/sandyspokane.jpg

Yeah hun, you were spot on... again. I better up my game or pretty soon you'll be stealing the spotlight! Hhahaahhahaha

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

Haha! That'll never happen Sandy, starring in this show is gonna make you huge!

 

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/8306/sandyspokane.jpg

Yeah, sure, if I don't end up typecast as the teen hero for the rest of my life! It's happened before and it'll..... OH MY GOD, LOOK OUT!!!!

 

Roberta turned around and saw a massive trolley camera rolling out of control towards the catering table. As people at the table began to scatter Roberta looked down at the props table.

 

http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/2590/props.jpg

 

She grabbed the bow, notched an arrow and fired, the arrow flew true and hit the brake lever on the trolley, bringing it skidding to a halt an inch from the table.

 

Sandy stared at Roberta

 

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/8306/sandyspokane.jpg

You never said you could do that!

 

John came rushing over

 

http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/1029/johnrhedon.jpg

Oh my god Roberta! That was amazing! Did you mean to do that?

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

Yeah, sure I did! I was Quad-State Junior Archery Champion five years running!

 

http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/1029/johnrhedon.jpg

Roberta, this is fate! We've been looking for someone with your skills! We were about to cast Bella Blanc, you know, The Union's White Archer, as a new Vampire Hunter to join Wendy but I was never really convinced she could play a teenager. But you my dear, you will make the most perfect Hope!

http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/3071/restm.jpg

 

It was the next day and Roberta & Jimmy had met up for lunch. Roberta had just finished telling Jimmy her news

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

Isn't it amazing? I'm going to be a star!

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Robbie, that's such brilliant news! Who'da thought that starring in your highschool production would lead to this?

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

I know! And I'm so happy I get to share it all with you...

 

She put her hand on his

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

Jimmy, I....

 

**!!BOOM!!**

 

The wall of the restaurant caved in as a truck plowed into the building. Jimmy picked himself up out of the rubble

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

ROBERTA!!?!

 

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Comic%20Book%20Hero/RobynHood_jhdSmall1.jpg

It's OK Jimmy, I'm just a bit dusty

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Thank god! You check on the other people, I'm gonna check on the driver.

 

As Jimmy climbed the cab of the truck he looked out into the street and saw the cause of the accident; a twenty foot, semi-translucent dinosaur was stood in the middle of the street! Jimmy rushed back to Roberta

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6010/user39.jpg

Robbie, something's up, we have to get out there.

 

She nodded, and they ran for the fire escape

 

 

**************************

 

http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/1300/billboard1v.jpg

 

As Cactus Man and Robyn emerged from a alley by the restuarant they pretty much bumped straight into the cause of the problems

http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/1552/robynhood.jpg

Ladies, you like to come into town and rampage?

You like to storm about in a rage?

You will not best us, try as you might,

I tire of rhyming, prepare to fight!

I may be blind but I see defeat in your future!

 

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg

OH SHUT UP!

 

Cactus Man's right arm expanded and he hit Delphi with his Giant Cactus Palm, putting her down for the count in one blow!

 

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6404/user13.jpg

HA! Didn't see that coming did ya?!

 

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpghttp://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4706/blinddelphi.jpghttp://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671/22611384.jpg

 

 

MEANWHILE...

 

 

http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2016/honeybadgeru.jpg

YEAH BABY, I'm gonna rip your face off!

 

Honey Badger swiped at Robyn with her Claws, but Robyn ducked the attack. She fired an arrow and line up into the side of a building, jumped and delivered a Swinging Kick to Honey Badger. Landing lightly on her feet she swung around

 

http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/1552/robynhood.jpg

You seem to like things oh so loud,

Maybe this will make you proud!

 

Robyn fired a Sonic Arrow at Honey Badger.

 

*!BOOM!*

 

The shockwave from the arrow threw Honey Badger against a wall. Robyn sighted a Taser Arrow to finish the job but Honey Badger moved just in time. She ran at Robyn and launched a Kick at her, but Robyn moved nimbley out of the way. She pulled a Taser Arrow from her quiver and jabbed it into Honey Badger's back. Honey Badger dropped to the ground

Look Delphi, we want to know what you know. Right now we've not got much on you, Cactus Man knocked you out cold before you could do more than just scare that driver into crashing his truck. But you escaped prison so you're going back there no matter what. However just a little infomation could turn that maximum security wing into a minimum security facility with a spa and pool...

Or if you don't tell us we'll let Cactus Man spend ten minutes alone with you and see what he finds out!

OK, OK. A spa vacation sounds pretty good right now. We were hired as a distraction.
