Lance sifted through the cracked, dirty sheafs of parchment. Otto and Chester looked around the dark and dirty New York apartment. DPIR agents guarded the door and marked and examined the crime scene. Chester felt different objects in his tentacles, and Otto scrutinized technical diagrams and bits of machinery. Lance looked up at the pale, emaciated body lying on the table. Otto walked over and looked at the corpse.
"It looks like a vampire attack." He said, pointing at the two marks on the body's neck. Lance shook his head.
"There's no venom in his bloodstream, and the distance and angle of the marks aren't right for a vampire. Whoever murdered him wanted it to look like a vampire, or he stuck him with a needle twice for whatever reason. Besides, the landlord found ol' Corpsey in the building, a vampire can't enter human dwellings."
Otto was silent for a moment, then he snapped his metal fingers.
"Alison and I were investigating a murder in Philadelphia, same two marks in his neck and emaciated look, and he was an old master mechanic. Otto dug around in the dead man's pockets, and withdrew his wallet. He took out his ID.
"Maxwell Krauss." He said. Lance stood up and looked at Krauss's passport and license.
"And an electrician." Lance said.
"So... the murderer is a Luddite?" Otto chuckled.
"Or Mr. Murder likes taking out his contacts?" Said Lance, "All the big bad mysterious bad guys do that, it's overdone."
Chester floated over to them, the Dweller's tattoos glowed slightly.
"Magic has been worked here, it lingers still in the air." Chester said in his squeaky voice.
"So, Krauss is, or was, in on something. You know like," Lance raised his eyebrows, "Something."
Otto tapped his nose with a finger, "I get you."
Lance's cell phone started ringing, he looked at the caller ID.
"Ah, it's Bianca."
He answered the cell phone, "I knew you'd finally call me!"
"No, Lance, no. Anyway, Sirius and I are in DC, it's a murder, exactly like the one Otto and Alison investigated early this month; two puncture wounds in the neck, and-"
"And a shriveled up corpse, oh and some master technician or something. Exactly like what were looking at."
"Our stiff was some crusty plumber, very experienced though." Bianca said over the phone.
"A mechanic, electrician, and plumber. Someone wanted something examined or fixed, and something magic too. But also something secret. Bad guys are so predictable." Lance said.
"Kain van Hompt wasn't predictable." Otto said, smiling. Lance's face flushed red.
"That was because he could mess with your brain and stuff, just like be quiet Otto."
"DC, Philadelphia, and New York, all three cities sit on the same ley line, now we should expect a similar murder in Boston." Chester said.
"So, a murdering Luddite magician wants a magic machine, an infernal mix of sorcery and technology."

Lance DeMoi and the Templar Curse.
Lance stood over the mangled corpse, his trench coat blowing in the wind. He had traded out his jumpsuit for the coat, a black t-shirt, and dark green pants. Sal and Bianca examined the rest of the crime scene and NYPD officers were here and there. Lance examined the dead man's ID.
"Gary Newton, age 43, Museum Keeper. Murdered October 13. Apparently killed by a bladed weapon, stabbed in the back and neck. The murder then stole an old Crusades era sword from it's case." He said into a recorder. Sal was going through the museum catalog, trying to find what the sword's story was, and Richard, the DPIR psychometrist, read all the Keeper's items. Bianca came out of the trance after reading the items, he turned to Lance.
"Watch this." He put his hand on the Keeper's flashlight, Lance put his hand on the flashlight as well. The room faded as Bianca used her psychometry on the hand light.
Gary Newton puttered around the Medieval Artifacts Room, making sure everything was in it's place before the museum closed. He passed by the window, through which the evening sun streamed through. Gary came to the old Crusades sword, a shape came up behind the window, the shadow smashed the glass, setting off the alarm. The intruder was a zombie, but in clergical vestments and wielding a dagger. Gary turned and ran, but the draug was faster and stabbed him in the back and neck. Poor Gary hit the polished floor, his blood making a crimson pool around him. The zombie went to the sword, smashed the case, and took the weapon. It then fled, just as the guards arrived.
Bianca cut the conection. Lance stood back and thought for a moment.
"Did I just see long dead Pope Clement the Fifth steal from a museum?"

The overthrow of Kronos.
Kronos, lord of the Earth and Sky, walked to his pavilion. The battle was not going in his favor. The humans were pushing the demons from the land of the Javan. He pushed past the harpy guards and entered the tent, his mood dropped even farther when he saw who was waiting for him, Zeus, one of his wily commanders, and Hera, Zeus's favorite concubine. Zeus sat in Kronos's throne.
"Forgotten your place, Zeus?" Kronos growled. Zeus reclined back on the throne, Hera leaned against his arm, a wicked smile on her beautiful face.
"No, Kronos, it's you who does not know his place." Zeus smiled. Kronos opened his hand, his silver sickle flew into it.
"Hermes! Ares!" Kronos bellowed. Ares, who was in the form of a bull-neck Nubian man wearing a leather skirt and wielding a solid bronze spear and circular shield, Hermes followed, wearing his trademark flying sandals.
"You called, O Mighty An?" Hermes sneered.
"The humans have slaughtered the minotaur charge, Zeus." Ares said, bowing to Zeus. Kronos was filled with even more rage.
"Ares!" He bellowed, "I am still lord of the Sky and the Nephalim! You bow to me, and no other!"
Ares got up.
"Sorry, An, Enlil is now Lord of the Sky, and he's promised me and Hermes positions as one of the Twelve."
Kronos was filled with horror, he tried to call down a lighting bolt, to kill Zeus, but there was no response. Then the air around Enlil, Zeus, began to crackle with electricity, his eyes glowed electric blue, he blasted Kronos with an enormous blast of lighting, sending the former demon lord flying out the pavilion. After that, a war between the demons followed, where Kronos was defeated and taken by Hades to Tartarus, prison of the demons.

Once the element of surprise was lost, 7 was not that much of a fighter, Phonos blew his ears out with a sonic blast, Ironclad and Smash tackled the still fighting Weapon. 7 as Razor came in for the killing blow. But a regiment of US soldiers interrupted, driving off the superheros, allowing 7 to live. Later, on May, 27, 1987, Razor, Smash, and Silence, Phonos was dead and Ironclad was elsewhere, again found 7 in New Haven City, this time though, Weapon. 7 was with a group of BSA superhumans, Razor was killed in the ensuing fight.

His powers were deadly, he had a field around which could stop superpowers from working, and then he would attack with his telekinetic power. He was unbeatable, many supers went up against him, very few returned. On September, 17, 1990, Electron (Soren Erikson), Rush, and Nighthunter, all three teenagers, ambushed the killing machine that night, along Main Street, the damage done during this battle are still there, the surrounding buildings still have burn marks, the street, though paved over, is still uneven. The three teenagers battled with 8 for hours, Nighthunter was badly wounded during the fight, but Electron and Rush finally drove off Weapon. 8, a feat few had done, much less by teenagers. Weapon. 8 laid low for nearly a year after the fight, but then on February, 28, 1992, Weapon. 8 resurfaced, and because of a glitch in his cybernetics, killed anyone, normal or super, in his way. He slaughtered anyone out of doors along Main Street, making his way to the City Hall, but Electron and Rush were waiting for him, so they battled again. Long into the fight, Rush shot strait at 8, his momentum, because of his super speed, carried him into Weapon. 8, who used his telekinesis to pin Rush to the ground. Before 8 could fully regain his balance, Electron, from a distance, blasted him with an enormous lightning bolt, overpowering Weapon. 8's telekinetic wall. 8 was blown to pieces. Killing Weapon. 8 was Electron's claim to fame, from then on he continued to achieve bigger and bigger feats.

Weapon. 9 lived in a secret, secure, BSA bunker, he was let out only so he could do a mission, then he locked up again. A few months later, Electron and Rush sought the help of Smash and Hound, Hound could track superhumans, to find and defeat this new menace. So the four supers followed 9's trail to the BSA bunker, where a fight between them and a regiment of BSA superhumans, led by the Avenger pushed back the four attackers. Electron, now seventeen, called on his friend, Tornado, to help them, meanwhile, Weapon. 9 continued carrying out BSA missions, killing and capturing superhumans. The five companions followed Weapon. 9 as he went to try and capture Lauren Anderson, Soren's girlfriend. So Soren, Electron, leaped into action, ruining their ambush. He was badly wounded, along with Rush and Hound. Smash drove Weapon. 9 before he killed anyone. Weapon. 9 went to another BSA bunker, hidden under the City Hall, he continued his missions. Then, in March, 29, 1996, in a little town in Kansas, Electron, Rush, Smash, Hound, and Tornado confronted Weapon. 9 as he was about to capture a teenage superhuman, Roy McGonagall.

Weapon. 11
Powers: Psionics.
Name: Sam Adams.
Following the accident that was Weapon. 10, Weapon. 11 was made in the beginning of the Underworld Wars, he was released May, 03, 1999, he had powerful psychic abilities. Weapon. 11's main objective was going after and arresting Commander Zero, the leader of the superhuman underground. Weapon. 11 also worked with a hand-picked BSA superhuman platoon, methodically arresting and assassinating resistant supers, working toward Zero. The Superhuman Resistance Movement appealed to the Supreme Court to stop sending Weapons after them. The Supreme Court refused to do anything about it, so the SRM moved their leader, Zero, to Constantinople, August, 30, 1999, where he hid in an old apartment. Weapon. 11 was sent to Constantinople, and a few weeks later, located Zero and went to the hideout during the night. Commander Zero, Tornado, and Torch fought Weapon. 11 and his minions through out the city all night, in the end, the three companions hid in the Hagia Sophia, as the sun rose, Weapon. 11 broke in, and killed Zero. Torch burnt the BSA platoon and Tornado nearly brought the building down on them. Torch and Tornado returned to America, with the body of Zero, the SRM elected Tigress as their leader, a female superhuman with ferociuos strength and extreme cunning, Weapon. 11 went after her. On October, 14, 1999 Tornado and Torch tracked down 11 in an old factory, there they dueled for hours, until sundown, Weapon. 11 lifted Torch and was about to drop him in a vat of acid, Tornado pulled Torch to the ground with a vacuum of air, then made a full-sized tornado right where Weapon. 11 stood, which sucked him up in the air, then dropped him in the collapsing factory. Weapon. 11 was never found after that. Most of the anti-BSA movements joined the SRM after that, most could feel a battle was coming. Tigress and the SRM told the US Congress that further genocide of the superhuman population could no longer be tolerated, the SRM would be forced to act, the DOJ and the rest of Congress did not really take her seriously, but their arrogance would lead to the Superhuman War and the Battle of New Haven City.

Weapon. 12
Powers: Night omnipresence, nocturnal shapeshifting, light and dark control, nocturnal power surge.
Name: William Erikson.
Released on January, 09, 2003, Weapon. 12 was the son of Electron from the future. After Electron, now twenty-three, defeated Clockwork, who had opened time portals, William had come through one from the year 2022, where the American government fell from it's own corruption. Unfortunately, William was a secret supporter of the obsolete government of his time, so when he came back he joined the BSA's Weapon Project. As Weapon. 12 his control over light and dark had been increased, he had nocturnal omnipresence, shapeshifting, and his energy and control over energy increased during the night. January, 21, 2003, Weapon. 12 assaulted Tigress's hideout, with the help of a group of superhuman mercenaries. Tigress was arrested, and tried for treason and assault of US government agents. Electron was made leader of the newly renamed Zero's Army. Electron confronted Weapon. 12, who was his age in this time, outside New Haven City, Electron said Weapon. 12 looked familiar, but didn't know why. Later, Electron found out Weapon. 12's story, so Electron went to the William of this time, who was just a baby, with the intent to kill him. But 12 rescued himself, hiding himself in a BSA lab. Electron and his wife, Shade, met their son on Main Street, March, 08, 2003, with a group of Zero's Army supers. The fight lasted until nightfall Electron went to the lab, where baby William was hidden, Weapon. 12 followed. Electron still wanted to kill his infant son, but couldn't make himself, so he shot older William in the head. Weapon. 12 survived, but the bullet had destroyed his cybernetics, so he ran from the BSA and his parents. Many think it was a waste to use William as a Weapon, because of his relationship to Electron.

Weapon. 13
Powers: Superpower copier.
Name: Roy McGonagall.
The teenager from Kansas was all grown up, and had been captured, brainwashed, lobotomized, and experimented on. Weapon. 13, though his time as a Weapon was short, he was the most powerful Weapon, but the last. Released June, 13, 2009, 13 had a one of a kind power, the ability to copy other's powers. Long before he was released, the BSA introduced Weapon. 13 to all the BSA and captured superhumans so he could copy their powers. He took so much work and experimentation to make, his hair is burned off, his mouth is sealed shut, and he has no eyelids. Weapon. 13 was let out into the world not long before the Battle of New Haven City, all the superhumans that went up against him died, brutally. On November, 03, 2009 the Battle of NHC, where the BSA and Zero's Army finally confronted each other on the field of battle, Weapon. 13 led the BSA forces into the fight against the Army, led by Electron. 13 killed all superhumans around him, he was the ultimate genocide machine. William, returned to New Haven City for the Battle, he had been healed and he joined Zero's Army and fought alongside his young father. During the battle, Electron and William snuck into the BSA headquarters and Electron, in a desperate attempt to kill Weapon. 13 he took the Genide, a drug no superhuman had survived, it was supposed to increase your power one hundredfold, Electron fell to the ground, his heart rate stopped. William died defending his father's dead body from Weapon. 13. Electron awoke, with so much power that all of New Haven blacked out. With his power increased a hundredfold, he shattered the forces of the BSA, and atop his power and rage, he confronted Weapon. 13 at the City Square, there they fought for hours and hours, Electron finally killed his enemy, the final nightmare in a series of nightmares. After the Battle of New Haven City, the US government shut down the Weapon Project, and they stopped going after superhumans so much, the Battle was a crushing defeat, and people were becoming more aware of the oppression of supers. It would have been a happy ending, but Electron knew what his son would become, he had given up trying to kill the infant, though he did know William's final decision.

He took so much work and experimentation to make, his hair is burned off, his mouth is sealed shut, and he has no eyelids. Weapon. 13 was let out into the world not long before the Battle of New Haven City, all the superhumans that went up against him died, brutally. On November, 03, 2009 the Battle of NHC, where the BSA and Zero's Army finally confronted each other on the field of battle, Weapon. 13 led the BSA forces into the fight against the Army, led by Electron. 13 killed all superhumans around him, he was the ultimate genocide machine. William, returned to New Haven City for the Battle, he had been healed and he joined Zero's Army and fought alongside his young father. During the battle, Electron and William snuck into the BSA headquarters and Electron, in a desperate attempt to kill Weapon. 13 he took the Genide, a drug no superhuman had survived, it was supposed to increase your power one hundredfold, Electron fell to the ground, his heart rate stopped. William died defending his father's dead body from Weapon. 13. Electron awoke, with so much power that all of New Haven blacked out. With his power increased a hundredfold, he shattered the forces of the BSA, and atop his power and rage, he confronted Weapon. 13 at the City Square, there they fought for hours and hours, Electron finally killed his enemy, the final nightmare in a series of nightmares. After the Battle of New Haven City, the US government shut down the Weapon Project, and they stopped going after superhumans so much, the Battle was a crushing defeat, and people were becoming more aware of the oppression of supers. It would have been a happy ending, but Electron knew what his son would become, he had given up trying to kill the infant, though he did know William's final decision.
Status: Deceased.

The Holan War and the Federation of Leto.
The Holan Cluster is a moderatley populated star cluster, which for millenia had been ruled by a monarch, until it joined the young Empire. It suffered through a few years of violence between the monarchists and pro-Imperialists, then it settled down, the monarchists having been defeated. There was peace for many decades, until suddenly the monarchists launched full scale assaults on Imperial Holan worlds, so the Empire commanded their two battalions into battle. As the war between the Empire and the Holan monarchists raged on, a politician from Hola 4 appeared in the Senate named Leto. Leto, a Kerronian, offered new policies in these troublesome times, and he ran for Chancellor of the Imperial Senate. Just as he was going to win the election, Adas Ganjis, a human from the Alpha Centuri system, revealed Leto's true motives, so Leto fled from the capital and declared war on the Empire. The Imperial navy confronted Leto's private battalion outside Hola 2. Leto's fleet was able to hold off the enemy navy long enough to reach the planet surface, they then barricaded themselves in Leto's fortress. The Imperial army laid siege the fort for three weeks, they called on the help of the Burrus army, who successfully razed the fort. Leto was exiled to the asteroid-world Krel, where he dug for ore for twenty years. He died of Krajeck's Lung. The Hola Cluster ceceeded from the Galactic Empire after the Leto Crisis, forming the Holan Independency.
