The Birth of Anarchy City
Independence Day 2020 Atlantic City, New Jersey Steel Pier
A goat in an expensive business suit and an expansive hairpiece stands at a podium with a covered banner above him. Before him are an assortment of furs of the Tea Party listening to his speech accusing Obama for allowing "The inmates to take over the asylum" in reference to how super powered vigilantes and villains have been given virtual free reign to do whatever they want to do. Almost on cue, Michael Gabriel O'Connor, a nine foot six inch lupursyn or wolf-bear with green fur, orange tiger stripes, purple Mohawk, purple eyes, stars on his upper arms and the gloves of a fox in blue jeans shorts with a solid red stripe down the sides, a blue tank top with a white star in the center, white belt with a star belt buckle as well as fighting gloves and boots in red, better known by the media by his code name of "Libertine" flies over Horace Grump's covered banner and pulls off said cover.
The name on the banner for the city now reads: Anarchy City; America's Asylum. The Tea Party members gathered vocalize their displeasure at full volume with accusations from the crowd that Horace "betrayed" them by changing the name of the city in this manner. The entrepreneur turned politician shakes his fist at Libertine with choice words shouted.
"How dare you, Freak!?" Horace yells angrily. "This was to be MY big moment! You're ruining it!"
"And just how am I doing that, me boyo?" Michael asks in a mocking fashion in an Irish brogue as is his sometimes wont. "I'm helping your big reveal! The only thing you'd be missing would be the fireworks..."
"Don't you dare, Libertine!" Horace Grump hollers. "I hired pyrotechnicians for later tonight."
"DRACO!!" Someone cries out as lizards, snakes, turtles and other assorted reptile terrorists whose uniforms have a vaguely Egyptian theme to them storm the pier as a cobra in armor that makes him look like a conquering Pharaoh takes to the scene on a flying chariot.
"Well, well, well," Libertine says with a smirk, "If it isn't the Naga Sphinx and his minions in the Dire Reptilian Army for Complete Overthrow. I guess I need to do something to prevent too many casualties."
"Oh, look, my minions, a hero," Naga Sphinx states with a sneer, "Kill him! Then take these furs hostage!"
"Robert," Horace sneers to his son just off to his right. "Get in that tin suit of yours and take care of this!"
"Yes, Father! Right away!" Robert accedes to his dad then turns to an ewe and a chameleon. "Come on, Edith; John, it is Showtime!"
"Gotcha, boss!" John Sharpton, the chameleon, says quickly and moves to join the young goat.
"Right away, Robert," Edith Torquemada says with a smile on moves to join the other two.
"I better change too," a liger in the crowd mumbles as he ducks into a changing station and re-emerges in blue bots, red boxing gloves, a white boxing helmet with matching domino mask and an American flag tank top and shorts. "Alright, Libertine, you're competition is here!"
A purple furred folf with green hair and stars in the same places as Libertine including the one over her heart and one on each thigh which can't be seen on him because his shirt and shorts cover them, all orange and an orange star on her head where he has a diamond, orange eyes and green gloves and socks in a skimpy black bikini with a black and white cabbit girl by her side making out when they notice the fight nearby.
"Looks like trouble, Hannah," The fox-wolf woman says to her cat-rabbit companion, "Mike's gonna need help."
"Right, Rory," Hannah Andretti says to her girlfriend, Aurora Osbourne. "We gonna change and help him?"
"Oh, geez, here comes the Gladiator," Aurora sighs, then shouts: "Rock on!"
"Rev it up!" Hannah yells as the pair change on the beach too fast for the others to see normally but for you the reader we'll slow things down a bit.
Hannah "Speed Freak" Andretti spins in place as fast as she can run (64, 000 MPH) which rips off her bikini and displays her nude body before donning her superhero costume: A red spandex skin suit with a black and white checker pattern stripe on either side, black and white checkerboard sneakers and crossed finish line flings on her chest, back and upper arms as a personal logo. Dark linseed goggles cover her eyes with white trim and function as a mask to help conceal her identity. Speed Freak is now fully dressed for battle and streaks out to fight terrorists.
Aurora "Metal Goddess" Osbourne takes out a neon pink synthesizer that is designed to be played like a guitar and plays a power chord to begin her transformation. There is a brilliant flash of light that disintegrates her bikini revealing orange nipples before they are encased in a titanium steel strapless bra over which is a backless chain mail halter top with a plunging neckline and a plate metal skirt over her nethers. Mirror shade goggles cover her eyes with heavy metal boots and fingerless gloves cover her hands and feet while a circular saw blade platform forms under her to carry the sonic soldier off to war.
Speed Freak streaks amidst the attacking reptiles at such speed that it causes a localized sonic boom that sends lizards and snakes flying while it staggers the turtles. Metal Goddess holds her synthesizer keyboard like a tommy gun and plays a set of power chords that sends a sonic blast at a single turtle that topples him. Gladiator starts punching turtles left and right until a huge alligator smacks him in the jaw and pushes him back with the sheer force of the blow.
Naga Sphinx applauds the gator who identifies himself as Gator Boss and petitions his master for control of all North American Operations and Naga Sphinx promises him South America and Latin America also if does well. Gator Boss takes this to heart and pounds Gladiator even more. It's about this time when the corporate Christian team takes to the field.
A chameleon dressed like a Jesuit missionary brandishes tonfa constructed to looking a pair of fighting crucifixes gets into the melee kicking butts and taking names as a gadgeteer nun ewe flies overhead with a black and gold modern knight by her side. The Grand Designer and his lover, the Apologist blast at Naga Sphinx who uses all his mystical might to maintain the force shield protecting himself as Libertine flies in with his fist extended to slam into the villain.
Libertine knocks Naga Sphinx from his perch as Gator Boss tail slaps Gladiator into next week before going to attend his boss. DRACO retreats as Grand Designer, Apologist and Missionary turn to face Libertine, Metal Goddess and Speed Freak. Apologist calls Metal Goddess a whore as she fires at her as Grand Designer accuses Libertine of being a false god as he blasts him, while Missionary calls Speed Freak a slut as he charges her.
Metal Goddess redirects Apologist's blast back at her while playing the melody of Dio's "Holy Diver" on her keyboard. Libertine sings a cover of Disturb's "Divide" as he swings a fist at the goat's sternum. Speed Freak gives Missionary a flying kick as he gazes intent at her as if trying to assess her abilities.
All three cross bearers are staggered back by the counter attack of their opponents. Metal Goddess follows up with a blast of sound as she plays Metallica's "God that Failed" in a powerful energy blast. Libertine sings the lyrics of the same song Metal Goddess is playing as he follows up his first strike with a second punch.
Speed Freak starts to decelerate as Missionary speeds up as the chameleon steals the cabbit's powers for himself. The Grand Designer's face plate starts to crack under the force Libertine's fist which threatens to reveal his identity. Apologist tries to blast Metal Goddess again with her gun the folf redirects the sheep's shot to hit her companion on the ground and knocks him out.
Grand Designer swoops down to collect Missionary and fly away with Apologist following close behind. Speed Freak has to sit down and rest but Metal Goddess and Libertine do a cover of "Raise your Glasses" by Kiss for the crowd to celebrate their victory. Gladiator begins to pick himself up and realizes the fight is over and he got trashed as Libertine is crowing like the punk Jamal Jaxon has always taken him for.
"Anybody get the number of the truck that hit me?" Gladiator asks of nobody in particular.
"Yea, Gladiator," Speed Freak grouses, "Gator Boss, the new American Operations Manager of DRACO thanks to you."
"Me?" Gladiator thunders in inquiry, glaring at Speed Freak as if she had said something to deeply offend him.
"Yeah, you," Libertine growls as he lands with Metal Goddess on her platform behind him. "By knocking you out Gator Boss secured his position."
"Oh," Gladiator says dejectedly; his head held in shame as the truth of what was said hits him like a runaway freight train. "I'll go train..."
"He's not very happy with us is he?" Metal Goddess asks of the other two superheroes present.
"We showed him up," Speed Freak offers as gladiator skulks away. "Should we go after him?"
"I think he needs to stew in his own juices for a while," Libertine says in speculation, shaking his head with an exasperated sigh.
"What now?" Speed Freak asks.
"I'm not sure," Libertine answers honestly, "But I'd love to discuss things with both of you. But not here."
"Aquaville?" Metal Goddess asks hopefully.
"You're not getting psychic on me are you?" Libertine asks factiously. "But yeah, my place, Speed Freak, you can water walk can't you?"
"Yup, and I'm back to full strength," Speed Freak announces. "Shall we move this there?"
Libertine and Metal Goddess fly off over the water to a domed city out in the Atlantic structured to look like a concrete cruise ship of the future in a catamaran style. Aquaville is a resort casino hotel big enough to be a small city just within US territorial waters in sight of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Officially it's owned by Michael O'Connor a multi-millionaire wolf-bear whose portfolio is mostly in various forms of entertainment and telecommunications, which is to say it belongs to Libertine himself.
The Grumps rival him in terms of real estate and he is in completion with Gyvmee for cartoons and other media but O'Connor Incorporated has exclusive rights to video of any battle that Libertine fights in which gives the company an edge. Their record label, Speakeasy, produces Mike's band: the Xenophones, of which Aurora is the keyboardist and Mike is the main vocalist and Hannah is training to be the group's drummer. When the three meet up again it is on the escalator down to Mike's underwater mansion.
"How big is Aquaville?" Speed Freak asks.
"It's effectively a corporate enclave," Libertine answers honestly. I'm, officially the CEO but I delegate the day to day operations."
"His personal residence is optimized for a fraction of that," Metal Goddess states, "But it's only for him and those close to him."
"You and Libertine are almost mates and yet you play with me," Speed Freak says mocking, "But its only for him and those close to him." Then they go into a room with television monitors lining the walls. "Whoa! Nice home theater!" The televisions turn on to reveal news reports and satellite feeds of the surrounding area. "What gives?"
"I use this room to see what is going on and where I might be needed as the Libertine," Mike answers honestly. "I try to keep on top of things."
"You're serious about being a superhero aren't you?" Hannah asks to which Mike just nods.
"Mike and I have been talking about joining forces officially as heroes as well as musicians." Aurora states. "Like to join us?"
"You mean, Libertine, Metal Goddess and Speed Freak be part of a team?" Hannah asks.
"I want Gladiator to work with us too," Mike states.
"Why?" Hannah asks.
"We could use his tactical skills to take down the bad guys while keeping collateral damage to a minimum," Mike explains.
"No, really," Hannah says to call Mike's bluff.
"Hannah, he's an ex-marine," Aurora prompts, "I agree with you it's a stretch but it makes some sense and Mike is thinking of making out mask team a reality TV. show."
"And Jamal Jaxon would be a good agitator," Hannah says with a smirk, "We got a name for the project?"
"This one time Horace Grump has done something I can really play with," Michael states with a smirk. "I'm calling it Anarchy City Blues."
Hannah and Aurora look at each other and giggle while giving him the thumbs up gesture.
Jamal Jaxon aka the Gladiator is walking through an alley away from the boardwalk when he gets mobbed by goblins, green skinned humanoids with big knives and rebar spears as a fat pig girl directs their actins.
"There's a toll for traveling my alleyways, hero," The pig says mockingly as her goblins are getting clobbered left and right. "Just hand over the cash, kitty!"
"Never, Boss Hag!" Gladiator exclaims. "I'll KO your little friends before then!"
"I hate it when he's right," Boss Hag says as Gladiator sweeps the alley of her minions without even breaking a sweat.
"Now for you!" Gladiator says as he runs after Boss Hag.
"Not so fast, hero," The leader of a gang of pig ruffians who look like they just stepped off the set of some production of "Grease" snarls. "Let's see if Boss Hag's gobbers softened him up any, boys, get him!"
Boss Hag runs by a lady viper in an alleyway as she flees from Gladiator. The viper smirks and shakes her head as she keeps to the shadows for now, here eyes glowing an unnatural red in the near light. Boss Hag does notice her seconds as she has run past.
"What are you doing here, Carmilla?" Boss Hag asks of the viper vampire.
"Oh, nothing much, my dear, dear, Boss Hag," Carmilla hisses with a dark chuckle. "Not faring as well against a lone hero?"
"He's too big a fish I'll admit," Boss Hag states, "But I don't think you'd be able to wrap him around your finger either."
"Not now maybe," Carmilla admits, "But wait until the sun goes down."
"Still holding court at the Silken Scourge?" Boss Hag asks to which Carmilla just glares.
"You want that talk we've bee meaning to have, don't you?" Carmilla growls in inquiry to which Boss Hag just nods. "I'll arrange something tonight." The after she leaves: "Fat sow...then again; maybe that could be fun."
Back in Grump Tower, Robert is going over film while Edith is sucking on his dick and John quietly masturbates in the corner. Horace comes in and sees his son but not the other two at first. The he catches hooves under his son's des and what seems like movement in the corner.
"I see my son and his team hard at work," Horace sneers mockingly, "Which set of God-damned freaks are you concentrating on?"
"I'm zeroing in on O'Connor and company now, pop," Robert admits, "They're out local problem. Although DRACO now has a regional director for the Americas."
"That gator that knocked out, Gladiator?" Horace asks to which Robert just nods. "I see, you're going to want to develop strategies to combat him too."
"Already on it, Sir," John says from the corner.
"Then I'll leave you three to your quality time together," Horace snerks.
Robot monkeys swarm the surface platforms of Aquaville as the heroes situated there were getting undressed to have some fun together. All three are greatly annoyed at dealing with the little thieves but then their boss shows up. An intelligent metallic gorilla glares at the heroes as he directs his minions to attack all organics in the vicinity.
"Mecha-Ape!" Libertine groans, "I should have known."
"This facility is perfectly situated for our plans of righteous annihilation of all useless organic creatures," Mecha-Ape states. "Destroy the females first. I shall engage and destroy the male."
"Good luck!" Speed Freak and Metal Goddess say as one as they move to deal with Mecha-Ape's minions.
"Thanks, girls," Libertine grouses then looks to Mecha-Ape: "Let's dance!"
Mecha-Ape and Libertine fly straight at each other with Mecha-Ape firing his rifle with an aim to softening up his opponent to no avail .They clash in midair with Mecha-Ape getting the worst of it. Sparks fly as Mecha-Ape records light damage.
Libertine destroys Mecha-Ape's rifle with his bare hands as the pair move to fisticuffs. Speed Freak and Metal Goddess work together to deal with the metal monkeys as Metal Goddess plays the music of Stan Bush's "The Touch" which gets Libertine singing the lyrics. Mecha-Ape tries to concentrate but the singing of the meat puppet is confusing him.
Cameras capture the action for posterity as a lynx nerd girl is doing her best to make the footage of the fight into a Xenophones video and get the temporary rights to the song. Mecha-Ape starts broadcasting N.R>G.'s "Instruments of Destruction" as a possible counter to no avail as it's their destruction that's happening, The Xenophones come back with Stan Bush's "Dare" and begin to finish the job as Mecha-Ape can only take so much of Libertine's pounding.
Heavily damaged by Libertine, Mecha-Ape signals for his minions to retreat as the Xenophones start to do a cover of State of the Union's "Radioman" in some ways to mock the robots. Once the mechanical marauders have been chased off, Metal Goddess and Speed Freak entice Libertine as a precedent to some sexual harassment as Metal Goddess gives Libertine a passionate kiss while Speed Freak licks at his package. It doesn't take more convincing for Libertine to go back to his place with them and specifically towards his bedroom.
The three shower together in an open bathing chamber with glass walls showing the Atlantic sea floor where they are. After the general grime of battles is rinsed away the fun begins as Hannah suckles on his scrotum while Mike licks and suckles at Aurora's tits. Hannah fists Aurora while she slips her fingers into his tail hole.
Back on dry land where once upon a time was Brigantine, before Horace Grump used immanent domain to expand Atlantic City and annex the tow to make Anarchy City a sprawling seaside metropolis, Castle Carmilla's charmed thugs bring in a badly beaten Gladiator and strip him nude before suspending in a BDSM dungeon. Carmilla owns the former entertainment location, something she finagled from Horace as he was in the process of pulling off the political shell game that made Brigantine a district of Atlantic City and them turned it into a BDSM themed Fetish and Gothic Night Club under her command. Brigantine Castle is now Carmilla's personal stronghold, an urban fortress that is nigh unassailable.
Carmilla has long wanted one of these "heroes" in the municipality as her toy but it's only now that opportunity has come to acquire one. Wit Boss Hag's help, Carmilla has been making inroads dominating gangs to pit against one another her amusement and to make them easier to manage. Gladiator feels his scrotum being squeezed by the snake woman's scaled fingers and slowly stirs in response.
"Wakey, wakey, Gladiator," Carmilla coos with evil ecstasy, "Time to play, my dear, and I have so many games for us tonight."
"I didn't hear the bugle," Gladiator groans groggily, his speech a little slurred as if he is awakening from a dream, "It's not time to get up yet."
"Cute," Carmilla says with an annoyed tone of voice as she makes sure his ankles are secured to a spreader bar, "I'll give you, reverie, half-breed!"
Carmilla selects a cat o' nine tails and whips his ball and ass furiously before going to work on his back. She alternates from the painful pleasure of a true dominatrix the true sadism of a practiced torturer, seemingly at a whim. Boss Hag a place above the chamber where this happening and pleasures herself as she enjoys Carmilla at her dark passion play.
Gladiator starts to get hard in spite of himself as the viper beats on him mercilessly. He struggles to escape his bands while Libertine might burst these beads easily enough, the liger finds that his own strength is an sufficient for the task. Carmilla darkly chuckles as she watches him struggles in vain.
"What do you want, snake ?!" Gladiator growls.
"Much," Carmilla admits. "But I'll start with a drink." She sinks her fangs into his neck.
"You're a vampire?" Gladiator asks as he gets a proper stiffy in spite of what he might otherwise want. "Get off of me!"
"Are you sure you really want that?" Carmilla asks seductively as she mounts him with footpads massaging his shaft as her tail proves his tail hole.
"Yes, dammit!" Gladiator growls as loud as he can muster which isn't much.
"In here, darling," Carmilla says with a smirk as she slips a tube over his elongated shaft.
"Fuck you!" Gladiator shouts.
"Maybe later, boy," Carmilla coos dangerously, "When I have you more fully in my coils."
"Never! I'd rather die!" Gladiator yells defiantly.
"That can be arranged!" Carmilla hisses before returning her fangs to his heck and between the unnatural ecstasy of her feeding her tail proving his ass and her feet in his but and bully Gladiator so choice but to eventually climax for the viper's entertainment.
Gladiator is allowed to hang from the ceiling with a vibrator as his tail hole and a ball gag in his muzzle as strings of red, white and blue lights are wrapped around his legs, scrotum, tail, torso, arms and neck as a living decoration clebrating Independence Day. As it to add insult to injury Carmilla inserts a sparkle into Gladiator's penis and lights it. Stars and stripes plus play as punks of various species do the Nazi goose step carrying American flags as if to mock Gladiator, his beliefs and his service to the country.
As a show of her utter contempt for those vigilantes that aspire to be more Carmilla broadcasts gladiator's torment on a pirated channel. She uses a channel that splices onto the Irish Eyes Network which has a reputation of being easily hacked which it is but for reasons few crooks know about that aren't serving time and are isolated from the Villainy Incorporated League for Larceny, Anarchy and Intrigue Network. Unfortunately for the vampire viper, Michael O'Connor keeps it that way for a reason: So he can track down those that hack into it and so they can be prosecuted later.
Libertine, Metal Goddess and Speed Freak are practicing some new material for an upcoming concert when the broadcast happens, but Gilgamesh Gottfried, a turtle programmer Michael has in staff records it for playback for his boss as he traces its signal to its source. Gilgamesh designed the program so that he would do just that as hacking into the system requires certain things in order for it to happen. It still takes him until that's at night to fully trace the signal to her castle, however.
Mike O'Connor is especially having them go over his original piece "Patriotic Punk" which is almost his theme as it exemplifies his philosophy praising the first amendment. A lot of his detractors hate to the song as he quotes Ben Franklin and Mark Twain as part of the lyrics to which they have no good return. Hannah is having a bit of a trial of fire on her end as she slowly but sure learns how to hit the drums with the right amount of force and timed just right but she is enjoying herself in the process and Mike is very patient as she learns.
The three take a meal break top side at Tiki Time Theater a Hawaiian themed restaurant with Polynesian animatronics and a menu of mainly finger food of seafood, pork and poultry in keeping with the general theme. It's getting late enough that tiki drinks can be ordered with Mike having a submariner, Hannah a hurricane and Aurora a mai tai. All three are having fish and chips with a side order of crab cakes when Michael O'Connor gets a message on his mobile informing him of what is going on with Jamal Jaxon.
"That's going to require some delicacy," Libertine remark and the other two give an expectant look. "Carmilla has Jamal in her dungeon."
"He's in trouble," Speed Freak states, "She likes guys like him in her coils. It's more fun when she breaks him."
"Yeah but with his powers that'll take a bit," Metal Goddess states. "We need to grab him before too long. Just not too soon though."
They have sinister smiles on their faces as they strategize their next move.
