!!Episode 1: Eclipse Scarlet Moon stood on a rooftop, $her hair ruffling in the warm summer breeze. $She looked out over the city, taking in the blur of lights below. $Her adoptive sister, Juliana, stepped up next to $herm, dressed in her new costume as the new superheroine Eclipse. She wore a low-cut, skintight, black thong leotard edged with gold. The leotard clung to every soft, voluptuous curve it didn't expose. She wore a flowing black cape, and black and gold thigh boots. A black and gold mask covered her upper face. A hollow gold circle pin nestled just above her exposed cleavage held her cape on. The circle was reminiscent of a total solar eclipse. Her faintly glowing golden eyes turned to Scarlet Moon. "Whatcha thinking about?" <<pinup "https://www.spankingrpgs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/eclipse.webp" "Eclipse, a latina in a black and gold leotard and cape." >> "It'll be a year soon," said Scarlet Moon wistfully. "Couple more months." Eclipse pointed east at a dark splotch. "Down there, in that abandoned business park. Both of us dressed to dance, running from Buzzsaw and her Whistler gang. You glowing like a rave party." "Anything going on over there these days?" Eclipse shook her head. "Naw. Got bad mojo for the underbelly. Owned by a tangle of shell companies that I haven't bothered to trace through, and none of them seem interested in doing anything with it." [["\"Surprised Silver Ant hasn't snatched it up. Seems they're buying everything.\""|s2ep1d1_silver_ant]] [["\"You know, I'll probably feel a little bit sad when it finally gets bulldozed. Bit of lost history most folks don't even know about.\""|s2ep1d1_bulldozed]]

"Yeah," said Eclipse uneasily. "Something about Philippa. I dunno. Can't quite put my finger on it." [["Laugh. \"Don't let Bright hear you say that. She's sore enough about the whole sister's-a-crime-boss thing. She'd flip if you accussed her mother of supervillainy too.\""|s2ep1d1_silver_ant_1][$selection to 1]] [["You think Bright's mother's a supervillain too?"'|s2ep1d1_silver_ant_1][$selection to 2]]

<<chosen '"True,"' '"Maybe?"'>> Eclipse shook her head. "I dunno. I know Philippa's helped us out a lot, but it just seems like, she's done nothing but benefit since you first started Glowing." "You're too paranoid," said an elegant voice behind them. [["\"Oh good, the others have arrived.\""|s2ep1d1_continue]] [["\"Thank God. Any later, and we'd be getting downright introspective.\""|s2ep1d1_continue]] [[Turn to face your arriving allies.|s2ep1d1_continue]]

Eclipse chuckled. "Forget? Are you kidding? Buzzsaw's been running around prison, bragging to anyone she can get her hands on about how she spanked Scarlet Moon 'before it was cool.'" [["\"Excuse me? I spanked her.\""|s2ep1d1_bulldozed_spanked_buzzsaw]] [['"There is nothing 'cool' about my fanny getting roasted!"'|s2ep1d1_bulldozed_roasted]] [[Blush. '"Er, yes well. I suppose it only makes sense that my various, erm, misadventures, would be talked about a lot in the seedy underbelly."'|e2ep1d1_bulldozed_misadventures]]

"Obviously." Eclipse's eyes sparkled with merriment. "But a true performer knows to never let the truth get in the way of a good story." [["Hmph. There's nothing 'good' about a story where I get spanked."|s2ep1d1_bright_anklyana][$selection to 1]] [[Smack Eclipse's large bottom. Hard.|s2ep1d1_bright_anklyana][$selection to 2]] [["I mean. That's true."|s2ep1d1_bright_anklyana][$selection to 2]]

"Indeed. Most people would find it quite hot," said Eclipse, her eyes sparkling with mirth. [["\"Walked right into that one.\""|s2ep1d1_bulldozed_roasted_1][$selection to 1]] [[Reach back and give your bottom a playful smack.

Eclipse smirked. "I should show you some of the Scarlet Moon porn that's out there sometime." [["\"Ehhh. No. I'd rather not see a picture of me getting sodomized by a futa Buzzsaw, thanks.\""|s2ep1d1_bright_anklyana_0][$selection to 1]] [["\"You've been looking up porn about me?

<<chosen 'Eclipse laughed out loud. "That\'s quite the specific situation there. Something you wanna tell me?"' '"I was just a little bit curious," said Eclipse with faux defensiveness.' Eclipse smirked.>> Before Scarlet Moon could respond, golden light flickered out of the corner of $herm eye. [[Turn to look.|s2ep1d1_bright_anklyana_1]]

Eclipse chuckled and patted Scarlet Moon on $her <<clad>> bottom. "Hey don't worry about it. After all, you won in the end. Every time." [["\"Yes, but I'd really prefer if from now on we skipped the whole 'getting spanked in the 2nd act' thing.\""|s2ep1d1_bright_anklyana_1]] [["\"Maybe, but victory doesn't make your ass hurt any less.\""|s2ep1d1_bright_anklyana_1]] [[Sigh.|s2ep1d1_bright_anklyana_1]]

<<chosen '"Good is in the ear of the listener," said Eclipse with a smirk.' 'Eclipse chuckled, though she did reach back to rub her wobbling rear. "Little sensitive I see." '"I should pull up those videos, let you listen to one of Buzzsaw's stories. They're quite entertaining," said Eclipse, her eyes crinkling in a grin.'>> [[Roll your eyes.|s2ep1d1_bright_anklyana_1]] [[Shake your head and sigh.|s2ep1d1_bright_anklyana_1]] [[Cock an eyebrow.|s2ep1d1_bright_anklyana_1]]

"Sorry we're late," said a melodic voice behind them. "Somebody misplaced her transformation watch." "I didn't want it to get wet while washing my hands ok?" said another, slightly irritated voice. "Not my fault you decided to bust down the door and start whining about your mother, then insisting we were late and needed to go //now//, and getting me all frazzled." [["\"Ahh, Bright and Anklyana. No worries, no rush.\""|s2ep1d1_continue]] [[Turn to face your arriving allies.|s2ep1d1_continue]]

Bright, a tall, leggy blonde, landed on the roof. Her golden wings faded. She wore a gold and black thong bikini with black and gold goggles. Black boots with golden trim and golden bracers over black elbow gloves gave her a warrior look. A diaphanous microskirt around her hips flirted with modesty. <<pinup "https://www.spankingrpgs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/bright_9.webp" "Bright, a curvy blonde woman in a golden armored bikini." >> Anklyana smiled at the others as she slid off Bright's shoulders. She wore a green and white long-sleeved thong leotard with an attached cowl covering half her face, and a stylized anklyosaurus on her chest. A pair of green and white thigh-high boots completed her outfit. "That's umm, quite the new costume Scarlet Moon. And Generalissima, looking badass! That the new supersuit you said you were working on?" <<pinup "https://www.spankingrpgs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/anklyana.webp" "Anklyana, a big-bottomed young woman in a green thong leotard." >> "Name's Eclipse now." said Eclipse. "Got rather tired of being named after brutal Latin American dictators. And, yeah. Pretty much." Bright's lips thinned. "The name's better. But how come you get to cover your ass, while we leave it all hanging out?" [["\"Bright, didn't you design your costume?\""|s2ep1d1_continue_1][$selection to 1]] [["\"Eclipse is just a jerk like that.\""|s2ep1d1_continue_1][$selection to 2]]

<<chosen '"Well, yes," said Bright, blushing a little bit. "But the thong was her idea."' "Eclipse's eyebrow quirked. Her hand snapped out and swatted Scarlet Moon's <<clad>> bottom.">> "My ass isn't covered," said Eclipse. She turned and lifted her cape up. A pair of plump, bare buttocks swallowed her thong leotard. "See?" Bright rolled her eyes. "And yet you're also wearing an ankle-length cape. Keeping it nice and covered except for the occasional tantalizing glimpse. Meanwhile, we're running around with our asses hanging out for all to see all the time." Eclipse smirked, and her eyes pulsed with merriment. "Come on. The Fire Ruby Convoy should be entering the city any minute." The other three followed Eclipse a few blocks east, where they could get a good, if distant, view of the port. "So, what's the story with this 'Fire Ruby?'" asked Bright. Anklyana rolled her eyes. "Don't you ever pay attention?" Bright smacked Anklyana's fat, exposed buttocks, making the soft cheeks ripple, and the shorter girl squeak. Eclipse cocked an eyebrow. "I mean, technically, Anklyana's right, and maybe it's a certain golden superheroine who should be getting her fanny whacked." Bright glared at Eclipse. "Fine, next time I won't ask. I'll just wallow in my ignorance and make a mess of things." Eclipse held up her hands. "Fair enough." "Hey!" said Anklyana, rubbing her smarting rear. "You're just gonna let her get away with smacking my ass like that?" "You were being rather rude," said Eclipse. Anklyana opened and closed her mouth a few times. Finally, she crossed her arms and sulked. Eclipse approached and patted Anklyana on the shoulder. Then her hand lashed out and struck Bright's pert ass, making the tight cheeks bounce under the diaphanous skirt. Bright squealed and leapt into the air, her hands flying back to clutch her bottom. Eclipse winked at Anklyana. "If I'd made my intentions obvious, our dearly beloved friend would have flown out of reach." Anklyana smirked. "I always forget out devious you are," grumbled Bright, rubbing her rear. "Oh come now. You deserved that smack, and you know it," said Eclipse. "Enough with your nonsense. The convoy's going to be here any minute, and you're standing there smacking your people instead of telling them what they need to know," said a sharp voice behind them. The four whirled around to see two women. One was a tall, voluptuous brunette with flowing brown hair, while the other was a short and slender redhead with boyshort hair. Both wore skintight black catsuits, with particle stunners holstered on one hip, and a particle rod held in the other. [["\"Hey. I remember you two. You were the secret agents who tipped me off about Succubus.\""|s2ep1d1_agents_remembered_spanked]] [["\"Hey. I remember you two. You were the secret agents who tried to blackmail me into bending over for a paddling, when I was investigating Succubus.\""|s2ep1d1_agents_remembered_not_spanked]] [["\"Who the hell are you?\""|s2ep1d1_agents_never_met]]

The redhead guffawed. "Yeah. Best part was when you bent over and stuck your <<costume 'fat ass' 'fat, bare ass'>> out for Diana's paddle." [["\"Yeah? We'll see whose laughing after I've ripped off the backhalf of your little catsuit.\""|s2ep1d1_agents]] [[Glare at the redhead.|s2ep1d1_agents]]

"Yeah, real shame. I was looking forward to watching your <<bodytype 'scrawny' 'chubby'>> ass bounce under Diana's paddle," said the redhead. [["\"So sorry to disappoint.\""|s2ep1d1_agents]] [[Glare at the redhead.|s2ep1d1_agents]]

"What? Surely whoever's on the other end knows about us," the redhead tapped her ear as if drawing attention to an earpiece. "Or are they keeping us secret? Hmm. What else are they hiding, I wonder." Scarlet Moon threw a surreptitious glance at Eclipse, who watched the pair with narrowed eyes. [["\"You probably haven't been relevant.\""|s2ep1d1_agents]] [[Glare at the redhead.|s2ep1d1_agents]]

"Marie," said the brunette sharply. "Let's not antagonize the resident superheroes. My name is Diana. This is Marie. We are agents of SPANK." "SPANK," said Bright flatly. "What's the acronym for?" "That's classified," said Marie, the redhead. "Why the hell would the name of the organization be classified?" "Because its entire existence is classified." "If its existence is classified, why did you introduce yourselves as members of it?" "Erm, well. Don't question us girl! Or I'll put you over my knee." Bright smirked. "That's enough," said Diana. "All that matters is that we are with the government. Our job is deal with the Supreme... challenge... that has recently developed here in Generica." "'Challenge' huh," muttered Anklyana. Diana threw Anklyana a sharp look. "Unfortunately, the past nine months have shown us to be woefully unprepared for Supremes. Therefore, we have decided to seek a more explicit parternship with the four of you. Technically, you four are lawbreaking vigilantes, but we are leveraging prosecutorial discretion. We will not attempt to prosecute you, in exchange for your support against the much more hostile Supremes that have cropped up. "Anyway. The Fire Ruby is not actually a ruby. It's a natural-formed crystal very similar to the ones that Dr. Park has been studying over at Silver Ant, but much much //more.// It's on its way here for Dr. Park to study--" Eclipse spun, and her eyes narrowed as she looked out over the city. Her eyes flared with golden light. "Poseidon's nearby." "Poseidon? Tempestas' brother? The guy who could manipulate water? Wasn't he taken by those two?" asked Anklyana, jerking her thumb at Diana and Marie. "Indeed," said Eclipse in a flat voice. Her eyes narrowed and she looked at the two agents. "And then I lost track of them. Their parents haven't had any luck either. They just vanished." Diana smiled. "Like we said. Classified." "And let me guess, they busted free and you want us to capture them again," said Bright, crossing her arms over her ample chest and rolling her eyes. "This whole thing's a setup," said Eclipse in a dangerous voice. "The Fire Ruby's the bait, and we're the trap." "Well, I don't like being manipulated," spat Bright. "These two let Poseidon and Prometheus escape, these two can capture them again." "But what about the people bringing the Fire Ruby here?" asked Anklyana. "They could be hurt." "To say nothing of the havoc they could wreak if they get their hands on the Fire Ruby," said Eclipse. She sighed. "I've done some research. This thing seems like a catalyst for Glow. In other words, a massive force multiplier for any Supreme who channels their powers through it." [["\"Right. Then we check it out. Let's move.\""|s2ep1d1_poseidon]] [["\"I've heard enough. We'll stop them.\" Glare at the two agents. \"But I don't appreciate being toyed with.\""|s2ep1d1_poseidon]] [["\"I'm getting a bad feeling.\""|s2ep1d1_poseidon]]

"Follow me," said Eclipse. Her cape swirled as the gold trim on her costume glowed, and she lifted up into the air. She flew off deeper into the city. Scarlet Moon swung after her. Aklyana hopped on Bright's shoulders. Golden wings erupted from Bright's shoulders, and she lifted into the air and flew after them, easily catching up and keeping pace. Before long, Scarlet Moon could see a very voluptuous woman riding a platform of ice over the buildings. She was wearing a skimpy little white and blue string thong bikini that barely covered her large breasts, and left her big, fat bottom completely bare. Her long blue-white hair streamed out behind her. <<pinup "https://www.spankingrpgs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/poseidon.webp" "Poseidon, a blue-haired big-bottomed woman in a blue thong bikini." >> [["\"Umm, Eclipse?

"I know," said Eclipse, her eyes narrowing. "But that woman's got Poseidon's Glow." The blue-haired woman stopped and turned to face the approaching $heroines. She smirked and tossed her hair over her shoulder. "Scarlet Moon. Barely recognized you. Recognize me?" [["\"Poseidon? Is that you? What happened?\""|s2ep1d1_poseidon_0a][$selection to 1]] [["\"What happened to you?

<<chosen '"Got a boob job."' '"Behind you."' '"Always were the best conversationalist," said Poseidon with a smirk.'>> "Surprise!" A slender, fiery-haired woman in a leather sleeveless crop top and skintight black leather hotpants burst out of the top of the nearby water tower. She threw a fireball at Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon crossed $her wrists, $her shield flaring. The fireball struck the shield and exploded, sending the four $heroines flying through the air. Scarlet Moon smashed into the roof and slid across the concrete, coming to rest at Poseidon's feet. <<pinup "https://www.spankingrpgs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/prometheus.webp" "Prometheus, a red-haired, slender woman in a crop top and hotpants." >> [["\"You skipped a step!

Roots is in jail now, you don't have to fear her anymore!\""|s2ep1d1_poseidon_1][$selection to 2]] [[Say nothing.|s2ep1d1_poseidon_1][$selection to 3]]

Poseidon tried to stomp on Scarlet Moon with an ice-encrusted foot. Scarlet Moon rolled away. Scarlet Moon's eyes flared, and $she sent Poseidon flying with a scarlet eyebeam. Prometheus landed gracefully on the roof, her eyes glowing. <<chosen '"My bad. Step 1. Kick your <<bodytype scrawny fat fat>> ass. Step 2. Spank your <<bodytype scrawny fat fat>> ass. Step 3. Profit."' '"Roots? Who cares about Roots. She\'s old news."' '"I\'ve been looking forward to this."' >> Bright streaked across Scarlet Moon's vision, golden blade cutting into Prometheus' bare belly, eliciting a shriek of pain from the villain. Prometheus snarled and unleashed a gout of flame at Bright. The flames washed harmlessly over a green bubble surrounding the golden superheroine. Eclipse leapt off an air conditioning unit, her cape flaring out behind her. She slammed both feet into Poseidon's chest. Poseidon grabbed her feet and slammed her into the roof. "Give it up," said Eclipse. She rolled to her feet, blocked a punch and flung a golden marble at Poseidon. The marble exploded in a dazzling flare. Poseidon cried out in pain and staggered backwards, clutching at her eyes. "You're outnumbered two to one." "You sure about that?" asked Prometheus. Flames wreathed her body, reaching high into the sky, swirling into a great flaming bird. The bird descended on Eclipse with the the roar of a forestfire. "Eclipse!" cried Anklyana, throwing a green bubble around the crouching superheroine. Bright lunged at Prometheus, who ducked the slash, and punched the heroine in the jaw with a flaming fist. Poseidon threw up one hand. Ice flowed off her body and swirled into a giant crocodile. The crocodile lunged at Anklyana, jaws closing on the small, green-clad heroine. Anklyana screamed. [[Power: Lasso the ice crocodile's jaws with some scarlet cords.|s2ep1d1_crodocile_riding]] [[Craftiness: Douse the the flaming bird with water from the water tower.|s2ep1d1_poseidon_water_tower]] [["Charm: \"Stop!

Scarlet Moon lashed a scarlet cord to the top of the water tower, and zipped to the roof. $She wove $her Glow into a large hemisphere, and dunked it in the water. $She closed it into a sphere, now filled with water, and flung the sphere at the flaming bird. The water bomb struck the flaming bird and exploded, dousing the bird in cold water and reducing water and bird to steam.

The green glow around Eclipse faded, while Anklyana began to glow with a blinding green light. The crocodile's teeth shattered as they came down on Anklyana's forcefield. Eclipse burst out of the steam cloud and punched Poseidon in the face. Her knee came up, slamming into Poseidon's belly. She grabbed the gasping villain by the hair and whirled her around, slamming her into an air conditioning unit. Bits of ice flew everywhere as Poseidon's icy armor shattered under the onslaught. <<include s2ep1d1_poseidon_round_2>>

Scarlet Moon fired a beam of scarlet energy at the water tower, punching a hole in it. As water jetted out, $she wove a hose out of $her Glow, and funneled the water at the flaming bird, dousing it in a cloud of steam. The green glow around Eclipse faded, while Anklyana began to glow with a blinding green light. The crocodile's teeth shattered as they came down on Anklyana's forcefield. Unfortunately, the water kept pouring out the tower. Poseidon chuckled, and held up her hand. The water rocketed into the air, split into multiple battering rams, and slammed into Scarlet Moon and Eclipse, driving Scarlet Moon against the wall, and Eclipse right into Poseidon's arms. Poseidon went into a lunge, flipped Eclipse over her knee, created an ice paddle, and brought it down hard on Eclipse's big, round rear, plump cheeks exploding out of her thong leotard. Eclipse squealed and kicked as her pillowy ass bounced and wobbled under the paddle, her painted-on costume showing off every ripple and jiggle. "Welcome to the superhero life," chortled Poseidon as she paddled Eclipse's jiggling bottom. "Hope your ass survives the experience!" <<set $success to $success - 1>> <<increaseStat "power" "charm">> <<include "s2ep1d1_poseidon_round_2">>

Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the Crocodile and zipped onto its back. $She wrapped scarlet cords around the creature's neck and hauled up. The crocodile flung Anklyana free and bucked about the roof, trying to throw Scarlet Moon off.

Scarlet Moon held on tight, twisting and turning and trying to guide the crocodile's movements. Icy spikes erupted out of its back and shattered against $her forcefield. The crocodile's tail blindly lashed at Scarlet Moon, forcing Scarlet Moon to duck and twist without lifting $her feet. Scarlet Moon's eyes flared. [["\"Yee haw! Reminds me of watching Aunt Agatha at the rodeo! Imagine if she saw me now!\""|s2ep1d1_poseidon_crocodile_success_2]] [["\"Time to put this croc on ice!\""|s2ep1d1_poseidon_crocodile_success_2]] [["\"It'll take more than that to shake me loose!\""|s2ep1d1_poseidon_crocodile_success_2]] [[Say nothing.|s2ep1d1_poseidon_crocodile_success_2]]

Scarlet Moon wrenched up with all $her might. The crocodile's head suddenly lurched upwards, its back arching. Scarlet Moon raced down the creature's back and leapt off, flipping it over, and smashing its head into the roof. The crocodile shattered. Poseidon snarled and flung battering rams of water and ice at Scarlet Moon, who ducked and weaved. Eclipse flung an orb at the flaming bird above her. It struck the bird's chest and detonated, coating the bird in fire retardant foam and dousing it. Poseidon wove the water into a whip and pivoted, lashing it at Eclipse. The whip splashed harmlessly across the green force field still covering the superheroine. Eclipse smirked and gave Poseidon a little come-at-me gesture. Poseidon charged, a thick coating of ice covering her large, bouncing breasts and fat, round, rolling thong-clad bottom. <<include s2ep1d1_poseidon_round_2>>

Scarlet Moon lashed a scarlet cord to the Crocodile's neck, and zipped onto its back. $She lashed crimson cords around the creature's neck and hauled up. The crocodile flung Anklyana free and bucked about the roof, trying to throw Scarlet Moon off. Icy spikes erupted from the crocodile's back, shattering against Scarlet Moon's forcefield. $She grimaced, and for a split second, $her forcefield flickered, and the cords faltered. Scarlet Moon gasped, $her eyes glowed and $she pumped more power into both. The crocodile's tail blindly swept across its back, striking Scarlet Moon before $she could respond, sending the $girl rolling across the concrete. Powerful hands grabbed $her by the hair, and the next thing $she knew, Scarlet Moon was facedown over Poseidon's bare thigh, $her <<fat>> ass thrust high into the air, <<fat>>, <<jiggling>> cheeks <<costume "straining against the skintight spandex of $her costume."

'"I love it when they play hard to squeal," said Poseidon in a sadistic voice.'>> Poseidon lurched, and Scarlet Moon found $herself rolling across the pavement. Eclipse clung to Poseidon's back, her palm clapping against Poseidon's bare, round ass. "Ever get your brand new girl ass spanked?" snarled Eclipse. Poseidon let out a high-pitched squeal and twisted and turned, trying to get at Eclipse. "Oww! Get off of me you bitch! Ahh!" Eclipse picked up the pace, her hand blurring as she made Poseidon's bare cheeks ripple. "I guess not! Enjoy having your spanking cherry popped!" Scarlet Moon staggered to $her feet, rubbing $her throbbing rear. <<include s2ep1d1_poseidon_round_2>>

Poseidon hesitated for a moment. Eclipse slunk around behind her, her steps whisper soft. <<statCheck $charm "s2ep1d1_prometheus_talk_success" "s2ep1d1_prometheus_talk_failure">> <<decreaseStat "charm">>

Prometheus rolled her eyes. "Come on Poseidon, just kick $her <<bodytype "flat" "fat" "fat">> ass." "Hang on a minute," said Poseidon. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. "What do you want to talk about?" "Look. Our job isn't to spank villain asses. Our job is to protect people. You two got shuttled off to some blackhole government facility, and now you show up out of nowhere with a...bit of a makeover, looking to steal a really fancy superpower enhancing jewel. Which is fine. If that's what you want, I'm happy for you. The gender change, not the jewel. But the whole thing just feels kind of off. Something's going on, and if you're in trouble we want to help you."

"Oh come on Poseidon, we can't trust--look out!" shrieked Prometheus. But it was too late. Eclipse tackled Poseidon. Prometheus let out a scream of rage, her eyes flaring bright red. The eagle dove for Eclipse. Eclipse threw an orb at the diving bird. The orb struck the bird exploded into a cloud of fire-retardant foam, extinguishing it. The talk had given Bright a chance to recover, and she zipped back and forth through the crocodile, slicing it to ribbons with her glowing saber. [["\"Dammit Eclipse, I'm gonna beat your ass!\""|s2ep1d1_prometheus_talk_success_2_beat][ $keyword_ep1d1_eclipse_interfered to 1]] [["\"Hah! Perfect timing Eclipse!

"What?" said Eclipse, looking up from Poseidon's struggling form. "I thought you were just trying to distract her!" "No, you idiot. I was trying to help her," said Scarlet Moon. "Oh. Why?" [["\"Because that's what heroes do you nincompoop!\""|s2ep1d1_prometheus_talk_success_2_beat_1]] [["\"I dunno.

Before Eclipse could respond, Poseidon punched her in the face with an icy fist, sending her flying. Poseidon jumped to her feet. Scarlet Moon's eyes flared, and a scarlet beam erupted from them, striking Poseidon in the back and sending her flying. <<include s2ep1d1_poseidon_round_2>>

Prometheus snarled and threw a fireball at Scarlet Moon, who ducked and twisted, firing a scarlet eyebeam at Prometheus. Prometheus leapt for cover. Poseidon flung Eclipse off, who backflipped through the air and landed with the grace of a dancer, her eyes narrowed. A green forcefield formed around her. Poseidon charged. Bright flew to where Prometheus had ducked under cover. <<include s2ep1d1_poseidon_round_2>>

Poseidon grinned venemously. "You almost had me there." Eclipse leapt at Poseidon, throwing an orb at the flaming bird as she did. But a thick wall of ice erupted behind Poseidon. Ice went flying as Eclipse slammed into it, falling to the ground dazed. The flaming bird dove at Scarlet Moon, only to strike the orb Eclipse threw. The orb exploded into a cloud of fire retardant foam, dousing the flaming bird. A bolt of golden light slammed into the side of the crocodile's face, shattering its jaw, and sending Anklyana rolling.

Prometheus leapt on Bright's back, crowing like a cowgirl at a rodeo. Bright dipped and dove and tried to shake her off. Prometheus brought a glowing red hand down hard on Bright's bottom, spanking the thong-clad cheeks through the diaphanous golden skirt. Bright squealed as her pert bottom rippled under the smack. "What is even the point of that skirt?" cried Prometheus as she swatted Bright's pert bottom. "Bitch, get off of me!" said Bright. "Ooh, that's no way for a superheroine to talk," said Prometheus, picking up the pace of her swats, Bright's buttocks bouncing and jiggling, each ripple visible through her diaphanous skirt.

"Excuse me?" said Prometheus, pausing in smacking Bright's bottom to glare at Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon held up $her hands. "Or maybe you just went down a size in your shorts. I don't know.

"Not the approach I would have taken," said Bright as she zipped up next to Scarlet Moon, bobbing in the air as she hovered, golden wings shining. She rubbed her tingling rear, now with a few nice red handprints on it. "But thanks." A sudden blast of water sent Eclipse and Anklyana skittering across the roof, coming to a rest at Scarlet Moon's feet. <<set $success to $success + 1>> [[Increase power|s2ep1d1_poseidon_round_3][$power to $power + 1]] [[Increase craftiness|s2ep1d1_poseidon_round_3][$craftiness to $craftiness + 1]]

Prometheus chuckled. "Tsk tsk. Naughty naughty little $superheroine. We're gonna have to have a little chat about respect, I think." Despite her words, she remained focused on Bright, raining her hand down on the girl's bouncing cheeks, while riding her like a cowgirl riding a bull. When Bright tried to smash Prometheus into some cross-girders under the water tower, Prometheus grabbed them. She locked her legs around Bright's waist, and whipped the two around the girder. She released her legs, and flung Bright at Scarlet Moon. Bright slammed into Scarlet Moon and sent the two $heroines rolling across the roof.

Prometheus flew backwards, sending Scarlet Moon rolling across the ground. Scarlet Moon leapt to $her feet, and fired a scarlet beam at Prometheus, smashing her through an air conditioning unit. A blast of water flew across the roof, sending Anklyana and Eclipse rolling and bouncing across the roof to land at Scarlet Moon's and Bright's feet. Prometheus rolled to her feet with a snarl.

Scarlet Moon lashed a scarlet cord to Anklyana. "Anklyana! Flare up!" Anklyana curled into a ball, the green sphere surrounding her flaring.

Prometheus smirked and slid down Bright's back, grabbing by the girl by her long blonde hair and forcing the struggling superheroine between her and Anklyana's curled up form. But Scarlet Moon was ready for that. $She expertly retracted some of $her cord, zipping Anklyana by right in front of Bright, before extending it back out, and swinging Anklyana around and slamming her into Prometheus' back. Prometheus cried out in pain as she and Bright went tumbling through the air. Bright twisted around, rammed her knee between Prometheus' leg, then bent the woman under her arm and tugged her shorts to her thighs. Prometheus' pert, bare bottom bounced into view. Bright guffawed began raining down lightning-fast swats on the seat of Prometheus' leather short shorts. "I'll bet somebody's wishing she wore panties today! How's that feel bitch? Huh? You like that? //You like that?//" Prometheus' eyes widened and she squealed, wiggling and kicking as her pert, toned buttocks bounced under Bright's hand. Her squeals turned into proper howls when Bright started smacking her bare thighs too. "Hah! You can dish it out but you can't take it I see!" crowed Bright as Prometheus' bottom and thighs bounced under her blurring ihand. "Some badass troublemaker you are!" Eclipse ducked and wove around Poseidon, hammering away at the blue-haired villain's icy armor. Finally, Poseidon caught Eclipse with a lucky uppercut, sending the girl rolling and bouncing across the rooftop in a flurry of cape and caramel skin. Scarlet Moon whipped Anklyana around and swung her at Poseidon. Poseidon grabbed Anklyana and flung her at Scarlet Moon. Anklyana yelped and dropped her shield, while Scarlet Moon caught her, jumping back a few feet to absorb the impact. "Bright!" cried Eclipse as Poseidon fired a battering ram of water at Bright. Bright spun in midair and threw Prometheus buttfirst into the water jet, before zipping above it. Prometheus yelped as the water slammed into her bare, throbbing rear. She slammed into the ground in a sputtering mess. "Dammit Poseidon," snapped Prometheus as she hitched her shorts back up. "It's bad enough I got a spanking. I don't need an enema too!" Poseidon shrugged sheepishly.

Prometheus smirked and slid down Bright's back, grabbing by the girl by her long blonde hair and forcing the struggling superheroine between her and Anklyana's curled up form. Scarlet Moon tried to retract $her scarlet cord, but misjudged. Anklyana yelped, and dropped her shield just before slamming into Bright. The ball of scantily clad Supreme girls rolled around in the air for a moment. By the time Bright steadied herself, Prometheus straddled her waist, while Anklyana lay draped facedown across Bright's shoulder blades, her large, upthrust ass almost fully exposed by her thong leotard. Prometheus cackled and peppered Anklyana's bottom, the pillowy buttocks wobbling and rippling with each sharp smack. Anklyana squealed and kicked and flailed. "Dammit Anklyana, oww! Stop! You're kneeing me in the face! Ahh!" cried Bright, twisting and swerving in midair as she twists her head to try to avoid Anklyana's kicking legs. "But it hurts!" squealed Anklyana. "Then throw up a bubble!" said Bright. "Umm, oww! Right," said Anklyana sheepishly, a green bubble forming around her squirming form. Prometheus yelped as her hand bounced off the shield. She glared down at Anklyana's bent over form. "Jerk." Then a scarlet cord lashed itself to her chest. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened in an "O" before getting zipped facefirst into Scarlet Moon's spring-wrapped fist. Prometheus stared at Scarlet Moon wide-eyed, before the scarlet spring sprang, sending her flying three roofs away. At that moment, a blast of water plus Eclipse slammed into Scarlet Moon's back, sending $herm rolling and sliding to the edge of the roof. Eclipse groaned and staggered off of Scarlet Moon. "Man. You $girls make this stuff look easy." Scarlet Moon leapt to $her feet as Prometheus came leaping back into the fray, her body wreathed in flames. Bright landed next to them, and set Anklyana down, who danced from foot to foot and rubbed her pink backside. <<increaseStat "power" "charm">> <<set $success to $success - 1>> [["\"Guess we're just that good.

Poseidon fired a torrent of water at the quartet. Prometheus unleashed a gout of flame at the same time. The water and flame collided, bathing the four in a blinding cloud of scalding steam. Anklyana threw up a green dome around the four. "Any ideas?" Eclipse's eyes glowed, and her gaze swept through the rapidly cooling steam. "Bright, up! Moon, behind!" Bright rocketed up into the air. There was a thump, a yelp, and a gout of flame. Scarlet Moon whirled $her Glow into a staff, and swept it through the steam behind them. Something grabbed it and yanked $herm into the steam cloud. An icy fist swung at Scarlet Moon's head. Scarlet Moon blocked the fist with a forearm, and lashed out with the heel of $her hand. Ice went flying. A knee erupted out of the steam and slammed into Scarlet Moon's gut. Scarlet Moon staggered back a step. Poseidon leapt out of the ice, fists raining down on Scarlet Moon's head.

Scarlet Moon threw up a shield with one hand, and swirled $her Glow into a saber with the other.

The saber penetrated Poseidon's chest, shattering her icy shield, and driving her backwards with a cry of pain. Scarlet Moon pulled the saber free. Poseidon's hand flew to the smooth, unmarked, but burning spot where the saber had penetrated. Scarlet Moon pushed forward, gripping the saber in both hands, slashing at Poseidon's arms, legs, torso, head. Each slice left behind zero physical evidence, but a burning pain nonetheless. Poseidon cried out in pain, her icy armor flying away with each slash, her hands working desperately to fend off the onslaught. Finally, she caught Scarlet Moon's wrists, and held them fast, her large chest heaving with exertion. Scarlet Moon's eyes flared, and a scarlet beam struck Poseidon in the face, driving her into the roof.

Prometheus slammed into the roof next to Poseidon, clutching at her side and groaning. Bright floated down next to Scarlet Moon, her own glowing golden saber gripped in one hand.

Poseidon grunted as the saber penetrated her chest, leaving no physical wound, but a burning pain all the same. She grabbed Scarlet Moon's wrist, holding $herm fast. She grinned. "Hurts. But not enough!" Poseidon's ice-encrusted fist lashed out, smashing through Scarlet Moon's shield and striking Scarlet Moon in the face. Scarlet Moon's head snapped back, and $she would have stumbled back, but Poseidon held $herm fast. Poseidon rained down blows on Scarlet Moon, striking the $superheroine's chest, gut, shoulders, head. Scarlet Moon's saber flickered out, and Poseidon grabbed the $girl's wrists and swung $herm over her head, and into the roof. Scarlet Moon groaned, $her head spinning, $her entire body aching. A gout of flame flashed above $herm, and Bright smashed into the roof next to $herm, her wings flickering and fading. Prometheus landed smoothly next to Poseidon, a sadistic grin on her face. "Can't believe we lost to these poseurs last time--" Eclipse slammed into Prometheus from behind, smashing the girl into the ground. Poseidon whirled, only to find herself encased in a thick green bubble. She turned and snarled at Anklyana, who stood nearby, her fists clenched and her body shaking. Poseidon rained icy fists on the bubble. It wavered, but refused to break. Prometheus and Eclipse rolled around on the roof, gouts of flame flying off randomly, fists and knees flying and striking flesh. Scarlet Moon forced $herself to $her feet. $She lashed a scarlet cord to Prometheus' back, and raised $her hand to fling another at Poseidon. "Anklyana! Conk time!" Anklyana dropped her shield right as Scarlet Moon fired $her scarlet cord at Poseidon. The cord lashed to Poseidon's shoulder, and with a great heave, Scarlet Moon slammed the two villains together in a loud //CONK!// Scarlet Moon stood panting as Poseidon and Prometheus collapsed in a heap, groaning. $She took a deep breath and reformed $her scarlet saber.

Scarlet Moon ducked and wove, throwing in the occasional jab, but constantly giving ground, steadily working backwards, until $she was directly under Bright and Prometheus, the two coming visible, wrestling in the air as the steam dissipated. <<statCheck $craftiness s2ep1d1_poseidon_round_3_craftiness_success s2ep1d1_poseidon_round_3_craftiness_failure >> <<set $craftiness to Math.clamp($craftiness - 1, 0, 999)>>

Scarlet Moon ducked under one of Poseidon's fists, and swirled a scarlet spring around $her fist. $She uppercutted Poseidon, the spring springing and sending Poseidon flying into the air, and right into the path of one of Prometheus' stray gouts of flame. Poseidon cried out in pain as the flames reduced her icy armor to steam. Prometheus yelped, looking over distracted for a moment, just long enough for Bright to headbutt her, ram her saber into the woman's gut, then body slam her into the ground.

Scarlet Moon swirled $her Glow into a scarlet saber, while Bright descended next to her. Bright smirked. "Cute move Scarlet Moon." Eclipse smiled. "Taking moves right out of my playbook, I see. Very nice." Anklyana rolled her eyes. "Seemed unnecessarily complicated to me." Eclipse's smile vanished and she gave Anklyana's plump, exposed rear a hard swat. Anklyana squealed and hopped up and down, her soft cheeks rippling. "Hey! It does! Why not just punch her?" asked Anklyana, rubbing her rear. "Because. It's badass," said Bright.

Scarlet Moon ducked under Poseidon's punch, wove a scarlet spring around $her fist, and uppercutted the villain. $Her spring sprang, and the villain flew into the air. Unfortunately, Scarlet Moon misjudged their location, and Poseidon slammed into the two midair figures, rather than catching Poseidon in one of Prometheus' gouts of flames. Bright and Prometheus yelped in surprise, and the three crashed to the ground. Poseidon grabbed Bright and threw her at Scarlet Moon, sending the two flying across the roof.

Before Bright could respond, Prometheus and Poseidon were on them again. Poseidon lifted Bright into the air with a powerful blast of water, while Prometheus threw balls of fire at Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon ducked, and twisted, throwing up shields to deflect the fireballs, zipping from one side of the roof to the other in a desperate attempt to dodge them. Eclipse leapt on Prometheus back and crushed a marble in front of Prometheus' face. A bright white light erupted, dazzling Scarlet Moon for a second. Prometheus shrieked and clutched at her eyes. Eclipse gave the staggering villain three sharp smacks on the rump, then braced her feet against the woman's back, and leapt off, driving the woman into the roof. A green forcefield formed around Bright, giving the girl a chance to recover. Bright glared down at Poseidon, her goggles flashing gold. Golden light glowed around her raised hand, and she unleashed a blazing beam of golden light. The beam struck Poseidon full in the chest, driving him halfway through the roof. Scarlet Moon zipped to the others, flashing Eclipse a thumbs up. $She swirled $her glow into a glowing saber, while Bright did the same thing.

Poseidon staggered backwards, but Scarlet Moon stayed on her, raining down blows, battering through her icy armor, and knocking her around. Finally, Poseidon managed to throw a gusher of water at Scarlet Moon, but Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the water tower, and zipped above it. She front-flipped, and kicked Poseidon in the chest, followed by a scarlet beam to the face. Poseidon staggered, and fell to the ground. Prometheus landed in a heap next to her. Bright floated down next to Scarlet Moon, her goggles glowing golden, a glowing golden saber gripped in one hand. "I continue to be astonished by your schoolyard tactics Scarlet Moon."

"A nifty little thing I invented and added to my gloves. Allows me to make an enemy's Glow go hayware. Tends to creat a lot off--" Eclipse ducked a blast of water.

Prometheus landed nearby and leapt at Bright, only to get struck by one of Poseidon's random bursts of water, knocking her sputtering to the ground.

Prometheus and Poseidon lunged at Scarlet Moon and Bright, but the two $superheroines cut the two villains down in a whirl of red and gold light.

Poseidon gasped as Scarlet Moon put her over her <<costume 'thigh' 'bare thigh'>>, leaving her round ass upthrust and vulnerable.

Poseidon arched her back and squealed, her soft flesh flattening and rippling under the stroke. Scarlet Moon rained down sharp stinging strokes on Poseidon's wiggling bare buttocks, her paddle making this soft orbs bounce and wobble with each smack. Poseidon squealed and kicked her legs, her chubby thighs jiggling, her bare toes curling. A machine-gun like explosion of cracks and squeals drew Scarlet Moon's attention. Bright had Prometheus in a similar position, bent over one thigh, her shorts tangled around her knees, her pert bare bottom rolling and rippling under Bright's rapid-fire smacks. The girl howled and kicked her feet, her shorts riding further down her calves. Bright scoffed. "Pathetic! Maybe you should eat some donuts, build up some padding like your sister."

She struggled and kicked, but was helpless to stop Scarlet Moon's superheroic discipline. <<set $spanker to $spanker + 1>> Meanwhile, Prometheus shrieked in a mix of pain and unfettered rage as Bright peppered the girl's pert buttocks. Bright's hand was nothing but a golden blur as it whistled through the air faster than the eye could follow. "Whine all you want little baby," said Bright smugly, her goggles flaring with golden light, and an evil grin creasing her full lips. "There's nothing you can do to stop the searing palm of victory!" "Justice," interjected Anklyana. "Sure," said Bright. <<include s2ep1_victory_uh_oh>>

<<set $spanker to $spanker + 1>> "Unhand me!" shrieked Prometheus as Scarlet Moon tucked her under $her arm. Prometheus' pert bottom thrust up out from under Scarlet Moon's shoulder, her pert cheeks straining against her leather shorts. With a flick of $her wrist, Scarlet Moon pulled Prometheus' shorts down to her thighs, bringing her firm, round cheeks into view. "Leave my shorts alone!" Scarlet Moon wove $her Glow into a Scarlet Paddle. <<link '"Now why would I do a silly thing like that?"'>> <<replace "#s2ep1_prometheus_spanking_1">> "Now why would I do a silly thing like that?" "Because if you don't, I'm gonna roast your <<bodytype 'scrawny' 'fat' 'fat'>> ass!" Scarlet Moon chuckled. "You're gonna try to do that anyway.

Prometheus squealed, her heart-shaped right cheek bouncing under the paddle. "I'm gonna kick your--oww!" Scarlet Moon rained $her glowing paddle down repeatedly on Prometheus' squirming bottom. Each stroke sent ripples across Prometheus' bare, upthrust buttocks. Prometheus howled and kicked, bucking and kicking under Scarlet Moon's arm. Meanwhile, Bright hovered in midair, Poseidon facedown over her bare thighs. Her hand blurred as it peppered Poseidon's soft, wobbly bottom, fat cheeks exploding out of her skimpy little thong. Poseidon grunted and yelped, squirming and kicking as her plump rear wobbled and rippled under Bright's speed-of-light smacks. Prometheus desperately tried to break free, her hips bucking back and forth, her legs scrabbling against the roof. Scarlet Moon tightened $her grip on Prometheus' slender waist and rained $her paddle down on Prometheus' bouncing bottom. The sharp crack of Glow paddle on supervillain bottom echoed through the night. "Give it up Prometheus," said Eclipse as she watched the two supervillains get their naughty bottoms soundly spanked. "You've lost." <<include s2ep1_victory_uh_oh>>

Eclipse grinned. "Don't mind if I do." Eclipse knelt next to Poseidon where she lay on her back groaning and grabbed the supervillain's bare legs around the calves. She lifted Poseidon's legs above her head, exposing Poseidon's plump bottom, and raising it an inch or so off the concrete. Poseidon snarled and squirmed helplessly, her body writhing on the roof. "Oh yes." Eclipse's grin turned downright evil. "The diaper position. Stretches your ass nice and taut, makes the smacks extra painful." Eclipse brought her hand down hard on Poseidon's upraised right buttock, the fat cheek rippling under the hard smack. The sharp crack echoed throughout the night. Poseidon squealed. Meanwhile, Bright grabbed Prometheus by the hair and floated into the air. She flipped the strugglng villain over her lap, pulled down her shorts and proceeded to spank her pert, wiggly bare bottom hard and fast. Eclipse's hand rose and fell, rose and fell, rose and fell, splatting into Poseidon's chubby ass over and over again. Poseidon squirmed and grunted, writhing on the ground as her soft cheeks wobbled under Eclipse's palm. "You'll pay for this! Oww!" shrieked Prometheus, kicking and howling as her pert bottom shook and wobbled and jiggled under Bright's blurring hand. "Oh stuff it," said Bright. "You lost. Now you get your asses beat, and tossed back in whatever super prison you wiggled out of." <<include s2ep1_victory_uh_oh>>

Scarlet Moon lunged at Poseidon, swinging $her scarlet saber. But $she was moving slowly, $her Glow flickering. Poseidon dodged the slash, and kicked Scarlet Moon in the gut. Scarlet Moon gasped, and fell to $her hands and knees, clutching $her <<costume 'belly' 'bare belly'>>. Eclipse leapt at Poseidon, but Poseidon whirled and smashed her with a flood of water. Eclipse flew across the roof, and slammed into one of the columns holding up the water tower. She slumped, groaning. Bright flung a bolt of light at Prometheus, but the shot went wide, and Prometheus bathed Bright in a fan of flames. A green shield flickered briefly around Bright, before swiftly collapsing. Bright cried out, and fell to the ground, smoking faintly. Prometheus turned to Anklyana with a smirk. "Just you--oh. Looks like you're already beaten. Poor little fat ass couldn't handle the heat." Anklyana was on her hands and knees, gasping for breath. She glared at Prometheus. Poseidon grabbed Scarlet Moon by the hair and dragged $herm towards Eclipse. "You take Bright and Anklyana. I got Scarlet Moon and the new girl, what was her name? Eclipse?" "How come you get to spank Scarlet Moon?" asked Prometheus with a pout. "I'll let you spank our dear elder sister," said Poseidon. Prometheus squealed happily and rubbed her hands together, eyes sparking. "Deal!" Poseidon grabbed Eclipse by the hair and dragged the two towards the edge of the roof. "Oww! Hey!" said Eclipse, clutching weakly at her hair to try to relieve the pressure. "Can't believe this. First night out, and already I'm getting spanked by a supervillain." <<link '"Have you been paying //any// attention to the past few months?

"Oh God her hand is slightly damp!" squealed Eclipse, bucking and kicking. "It stings!" Poseidon cackled and gave Eclipse half a dozen extra sharp, stinging strokes, making the helpless heroine shake her head and drum her toes against the roof. "I can't decide which of you makes a more delightful sound." Poseidon landed a burst of quick, sharp smacks on Scarlet Moon's upthrust ass, the <<fat>> cheeks <<jiggling>>. Scarlet Moon squealed and wiggled, pounding $her fists against the wall of the building. Poseidon clicked her tongue. "So hard to tell." She stepped up between the two <<bodytype 'vulnerable,' 'large,' 'large,'>> reddened, <<costume 'bare' 'thong-clad'>> bottoms.

She put one hand on the small of Scarlet Moon's <<costume 'back' 'bare back'>>, and laid into the $superheroine's <<fat>> <<costume 'bare' 'thong-clad'>> ass, the <<fat>> mounds <<jiggling>> under the assault. "You cannot silence Justice!" Poseidon growled. Her hand came down even harder and faster, each stroke sinking deeply into Scarlet Moon's upthrust, <<jiggly>> cheeks, each stroke leaving behind a livid red handprint. Poseidon wailed away at Scarlet Moon's <<fat>> ass for several minutes, until those plump cheeks matched the $superheroine's costume. Finally, Poseidon straightened, her large breasts heaving in their skimpy bikini top as she breathed. "Now, let's get on with your spanking, you obnoxious little brat!" Poseidon's slick hand rained down on Scarlet Moon's and Eclipse's upthrust bottoms, her long-fingered hand sinking deeply into their <<jiggly>> mounds, the sharp crack of hand on skin echoing through the night sky. Eclipse kicked and squealed, her chubby ass rolling and bouncing under the supervillain's firm punishment. "Justice--ngg--will not be--ahh!--stopped!" said Scarlet Moon through gritted teeth. Her feet twitched occasionally as $her bottom rolled and <<jiggled>> under Poseidon's palm, but otherwise $she remained still. "Only--uhh--delayed!" "Justice delayed is justice denied," said Poseidon with a smirk. She leaned down and gave Eclipse a burst of rapid-fire smacks, giggling as the girl wiggled and squealed, her caramel bottom darkening under Poseidon's hand. "Not this time! It is merely justice enflamed!" said Scarlet Moon, before squeaking a little bit as Poseidon turned her attention back to Scarlet Moon's enflamed rear. "Oh, something's getting enflamed alright," said Poseidon. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Grit your teeth'>> <<replace "#s2ep1d1_poseidon_end_failure_spanking">> Scarlet Moon gritted $her teeth and grimaced as Poseidon's palm struck $her raised bottom, the <<fat>> flesh caving and <<jiggling>> under the stroke. Eclipse squealed and bucked when a similar stroke landed on her soft, pillowy rear, fat cheeks left all but bare by her spandex thong leotard. "How come you don't sing like your friend, Moon?" asked Poseidon in a sinister voice. She gave Scarlet Moon's <<jiggly>> buttocks a dozen hard, fast strokes, alternating <<fat>> cheeks with each stroke. Scarlet Moon's teeth ground together and $her toes curled in $her boots, but otherwise $she had no reaction as Poseidon made $her butt <<bodytype 'ripple' 'bounce' 'wobble'>>. "No, no no, you're doing it all wrong," said Poseidon. A staccato burst of cracks exploded into the night. Eclipse howled, her toes drumming against the roof, her hair swirling around her head, her hips bucking and her pillowy rear wobbling under Poseidon's palm. "See? Like that." Poseidon rained down another burst of hard, fast slaps on Scarlet Moon's upthrust bottom, the round cheeks <<wobbling>> and reddening, the harsh crack assaulting $her ears. Tears gathered in the corners of Scarlet Moon's eyes, but $she squeezed them shut. $Her fingers dug into the side of the wall, and $her legs twitched. <</replace>> <</link>> Meanwhile, Anklyana's and Bright's voices rose in high-pitched squeals, mingled with the hard crack of palm on bare flesh as Prometheus laid into their mostly-bare asses. "It's like these costumes were made for spankings!" she crowed happily. "Is that why you wear them? To save us the trouble of ripping your costume off? How thoughtful! Oh man, look at those fat asses bounce! How the hell do a bunch of superheroines have asses made out of jell-o? Shouldn't all the exercise firm them up a bit? Especially you greeny. God, if I had an ass like that I certainly wouldn't be running around in a leotard like //that//!" For several minutes, the squeals of soundly spanked $superheroines filled the air, mixed with the sharp snap of palm on bare bottoms. "Oye, Poseidon look, there it is," said Prometheus. "It's crossing the river, come on now's our chance! Spank ya later 'heroes!'" The two villans abandoned the red-bottomed $superheroines and leapt off into the night. Scarlet Moon grunted and wiggled, and finally burst free of the slowly melting ice pinning $her to the parapet. $She took a moment to rub first the cold, wet spot on $her back, and then the dry burning mess that was $her ass. <<modifySore 1>> <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> [["\"Urg.

Scarlet Moon helped Eclipse break free, while Bright flew back and forth and Anklyana hopped around, rubbing their bright red bottoms. Suddenly, four bolas flew out of the darkness and wrapped themselves around the four $heroines, sending them toppling to the ground. Scarlet Moon's eyes flared, and $she tried to snap them, but the bolas turned ice cold, gave off a strange light, and the glow faded from Scarlet Moon's eyes. "Look at that. They work," said Marie. The fiery, redheaded secret spy leapt onto the roof. Diana studied a readout on her watch. She shook her head. "Only because they're already so weak. Even draining that much, what was it you four called it, Glow?, even draining that little Glow is pushing the bolas to their limits." "What is going on?" growled Eclipse, squirming and wiggling on the roof. Marie crouched down next to Eclipse and patted the squirming girl on her bare right buttock. "You done screwed up girlie. You were supposed to stop those two, not get your asses beat, then left to cry in a corner while they take the crystal. So what do you think's about to happen next?" "Oh come on!" said Anklyana, wiggling against the bolas. "We already got spanked by the bad guys, we don't need one from the good guys too!" "They're not good guys," said Bright in a dangerous voice. Her goggles flared weakly. "Maybe not bad guys, but they certainly ain't good." Marie shrugged and smirked at Bright. "We can't all have a perfect record, can we?" "It's just an excuse to test these bolas, isn't it?" said Eclipse, struggling against the ropes holding her taut. Diana shrugged. "Nothing personal. We had orders to give them a field test if the opportunity presented itself. Now, let's get the four of you in position." Moments later, four $heroines knelt on the roof in a line. Four faces against the roof. Four <<costume 'bare, quivering asses lifted into the air.' 'four round bottoms swallowing four spandex thongs lifted into the air.' >> Marie stood next to Scarlet Moon, tapping a paddle against $her rear and grinning. Diana stood on the far side, lining her paddle up against Anklyana's large, raised bottom. "Time to pay the price of failure," said Marie, raising the paddle. The sharp crack of wood on bare flesh burst into the night air, quickly followed by high-pitched howls of pain. Over and over again those paddles descended, making the four uplifted bottoms dance and <<jiggle>> wildly. <<link 'Howl and shriek.'>> <<replace '#s2ep1_defeat_agents_spanking'>> <<set $squirmer to $squirmer + 1>> For $her part, Scarlet Moon howled and cried with the best of them, wiggling $her <<bodytype 'slender' 'broad' 'large'>> hips, $her <<fat>>, <<clad>> buttocks flattening and <<jiggling>> under Marie's heavy paddle. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Grit your teeth and endure.'>> <<replace '#s2ep1_defeat_agents_spanking'>> While the others wailed and cried, Scarlet Moon barely managed to stay silent, $her lips pressed firmly together, $her fists clenched, $her eyes shut. Each bum-<<jiggling>> stroke burned, each time the heavy wood flattened $her <<soft>> ass $she wanted to howl. But $she refused to give them the satisfaction. <</replace>> <</link>> Finally, Diane's watch beeped. "And that's our cue to get out of here. They're gonna overload the Bolas in a minute." "I look forward to working with you four again," said Marie with a mocking bow, before the two vanished. The four knelt on the roof for a few more minutes, red asses in the air, whimpers escaping a few lips. Finally, Bright's goggles flared with golden light and she ripped the bola apart with a scream of rage. "Those punks! Those wretched bitches! I'm gonna rip their cute little skintight spy costumes into ribbons, tie them down with those ribbons, and then beat their asses until they call me Mommy!" raged Bright as she cut Anklyana free. Scarlet Moon burst $her own Bolas, as did Eclipse. Eclipse rubbed her bottom and glared off into the darkness. "They set us up perfectly. Either we clean up their mess with Prometheus or Poseidon, or they get to test some new field tech. And mark my words, they plan on using them against us in the future." "So, what do we do?" asked Anklyana. "Work with them again," said Eclipse. "What?" exploded Bright, flying into the air. She looked about ready to tackle Eclipse. "Are you fucking crazy?" "Of course not. They're obviously not ready to fight us yet, but they will be. If we work with them again, we might be able to learn more about them. Figure out their strengths, their weaknesses. Keep them close enough that as soon as they pull the dagger, we can sock them in the nose and send them back to their boss with their pants around their ankles and their asses on fire." Bright grinned. "I like the sound of that. Always forget how crafty you are Eclipse." "Gonna get you in trouble one day," said Eclipse with a grunt. "Come on. Let's go home and find ourselves some ice." [[Sigh. "Superheroes never get spanked like this in comic books! It's so lame."|s2ep1d2_start]] [["\"Oh god, yes.

<<set $keyword_s2ep1d1_defeated_prometheus_poseidon to 1>> "We'll see about that!" snarled Prometheus as she squirmed. She lifted her hand, and a jet of flames raced off towards the convoy as it crossed the Great Bridge, a large suspension bridge over the ridge. A large ruby crystal could be seen being pulled by a semi-truck, glittering in the city lights. Anklyana squeaked, and held up her hand, only to get knocked off her feet by a jet of water from Poseidon. "Bright!" cried Eclipse. But Bright was already in the air, and flying after the blistering jet of flames. Scarlet Moon shoved Poseidon off $her knee, grabbed Anklyana and leapt off the roof after Bright. "Eclipse, what do I do? What do I do?" said Bright, her voice laced with panic. "Stop it!" Eclipse flew up into the air and raced after Bright and the flames. "How? I can't create shields like Anklyana or Scarlet Moon!" "With your body! Get in front of it," said Eclipse. "What? Hell no, that'll hurt!" "You'll be fine. Do it! Now!" [["\"Relax, wouldn't be the first time your ass got toasted!\""|s2ep1_victory_uh_oh_1]] [["\"Come on Bright.

Bright hesitated. The flames struck the crystal. The crystal lit up in a blinding red light. A pillar of flames erupted from the top of the crystal, licking and melting the suspension bridge above it. "Oh that's not a good thing," said Anklyana. "Bright, get your rear in gear and get people off the bridge," said Eclipse. "Scarlet Moon, Anklyana I need you two up top trying to slow the collapse. Buy us some time!" "What will you be doing?" asked Bright snottily as she raced towards the bridge. "Don't push me," growled Eclipse. She flew toward the truck. "I'm going to see if I can do something to shut that crystal off." Scarlet Moon landed on top of the suspension bridge's main support. $She threw scarlet cords out in every direction, trying to reconnect the melted cables. Anklyana threw up a large green shield up between the flames erupting from the giant ruby and the bridge. "Oh God, that is some serious fire," she said, her body shaking, and sweat flowing down her cheeks. A golden streak raced up and down the bridge as Bright frantically tried to get people off it. Eclipse rested one of her gloves against the crystal, but snatched it back. Her eyes glowed with golden light, and small sensors wove their way out of her gloves. [["\"Oh good.

Suddenly an especially thick support cables snapped and whipped through the air. The pillar they were standing on groaned, and started to fall, more cable flexing and straining. "Oh God, the whole thing's coming down!" cried Anklyana [[Leap down and grab the cables.|s2ep1_bridge_heroism]] [[Power: Try to replace the cable with a scarlet cord.|s2ep1_bridge_power]] [["Charm: \"Not if we can help it!

"Scarlet Moon!" shrieked Anklyana as Scarlet Moon leapt down into that twisting, flaming whirlwind of fraying, twisting, snapping cables. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the large cable and zipped to it. $She snagged it in one hand, while lashing a cord to the swaying pillar. $She zipped up as fast as $she could, $her eyes flaring with power, $her vision fading behind a red mist. $Her head pounded, $her body burned. The cable twisted and flexed in $her hand, flames licked at $her shield. $She pulled the cable towards the pillar, reaching, reaching for the spot where it snapped off. $She stretched, and stretched, and slammed it into the pillar. $Her vision blurred, $her cord flickered, and $her shield wobbled. $She forced Glow into $her eyes and fired a beam at the cord, fusing it into the pillar. The pillar stabilized, as did those cables that had not yet snapped or been melted. The flames vanished, the ruby below slowly dimming. In the sudden quiet, Anklyana reached for Scarlet Moon's hand. But then Scarlet Moon's cord vanished, and the last thing $she felt was the sensation of falling.

Scarlet Moon fired a scarlet cord and caught the cable. $She pumped every ounce of Glow $she had into it, strengthening and thickening it, trying to hold up the bridge long enough for Bright and Eclipse to finish their work. <<statCheck $power "s2ep1_bridge_power_success" "s2ep1_bridge_power_failure">>

Scarlet Moon's body erupted in scarlet light. $Her teeth ground together, $her body tense. The pillar stabilized. The flames flickered out. "I got everyone," said Bright. "I'm off," said Eclipse. "Scarlet Moon, Anklyana, get out of there." Scarlet Moon released the cord, grabbed Anklyana and swung back to solid ground as the bridge collapsed around them. <<decreaseStat "power">> [[Increase craftiness.|s2ep1_bridge_success][$craftiness to $craftiness + 1]] [[Increase charm.|s2ep1_bridge_success][$charm to $charm + 1]]

It was too much. Scarlet Moon's scarlet cord snapped. The pillar groaned, and started to collapse. A great deafening ripple of snaps echoed through the night as the cables snapped free. "Crap crap crap!" cried Anklyana as Scarlet Moon grabbed her and leapt off the pillar. "Eclipse you gotta get off, we couldn't hold it any longer!" "I'm moving, I'm moving. Bright--" Eclipse abandoned the still-flaming crystal and leapt into the air as the bridge collapsed around her. "I got everyone. I got everyone, I got everyone," said Bright. She zipped up and down the length of the bridge, barely more than a golden flare as she checked and double checked. Scarlet Moon swung for the shore as the bridge fell apart. $She landed hard on a rooftop, and went rolling in one direction, while Anklyana went rolling the other way. Scarlet Moon stood, and looked to watch as the bridge collapsed, and the ruby disappeared into the water. A bright red and orange glow could still be seen, the flames burning like the top of some great undersea volcano. <<decreaseStat "power">> <<increaseStat "craftiness" "charm">> [["\"Welp.

"Ok, Ok," said Anklyana. She took a deep breath and held out her hands. Her eyes flared with Glow, and her entire body pulsed with green light. Shields formed around the flexing cables, strengthening them, holding them. "I got this. I got this." "You got this," said Scarlet Moon as the stone pillar stabilized. $She caught the snapped cable with a scarlet cord and heaved it up, struggling to hold it taut. "Ohhh, I'm not sure I got this," said Anklyana. She fell to one knee, her body shaking. "You got this!" said Scarlet Moon. "Come on. You got this!" "Ohhh, no I don't got this!" "You got this Anklyana," said Bright over their earpieces. "Just a little longer. I almost got everyone. Just a little longer." "A little longer," said Anklyana. The cables stabilized again, as did her Glow. "Yeah. A little longer. I got this." The flames erupting from the crystal flickered out. "Got everyone!" said Bright. "I'm done too." Eclipse leapt off the bridge "Oh thank God," said Anklyana, her Glow flickering out. The steel pillar lurched, cables rippling and rolling.

Well screw you!" said Anklyana, falling hard on her ass as the steel pillar flexed. "You have shields too! You do it!" "But mine aren't as strong as yours," snapped Scarlet Moon. "So stop whining and help!" "I'm not whining!" snapped Anklyana. "You're asking the impossible." "Impossible is what we do!" "Enough," came Eclipse's voice over their headsets. "You weren't supposed to hold the bridge up, just slow its collapse. But it's too late, so both of you get out of there!" "But what about--" "I got everyone," said Bright.

This is all my fault!" "Not //all// your fault," said Eclipse a bit sharply, over their earpieces. "But it doesn't matter right now. Get off of the bridge. Now!"

Scarlet Moon spared a glance over $her shoulder, and could see the flaming ruby sink into the river, still glowing brightly under the water, like a great undersea volcano. Scarlet Moon landed hard on a rooftop, and went rolling in one direction, while Anklyana went rolling the other way. Scarlet Moon stood, and watched as the bridge collapsed. <<decreaseStat "charm">> <<increaseStat "craftiness" "power">> [["\"Welp.

<<set $keyword_s2ep1_held_bridge to 1>> Scarlet Moon landed, rolling and skidding across the rooftop. $She and Anklyana clambered back to their feet, and looked to watch the bridge collapse. "Welp," said Anklyana. Eclipse landed next to them. She glared up at Bright. "Welp indeed." Bright shrugged awkwardly. She opened her mouth to respond, but then a sharp wind whipped the air. Anklyana's eyes widened. "Oh crap. Tempestas, I mean, Officer Chastain, is coming." Bright paled. "She's gonna be //pissed//" [["\"What do we do?\""|s2ep1_bridge_success_1][$selection to 1]] [["\"Well, nothing to it, but take our medicine.\""|s2ep1_bridge_success_1][$selection to 2]] [[Look over at Eclipse.|s2ep1_bridge_success_1][$selection to 3]]

Brave words. Too bad the others weren't around to hear them. Officer Bernice Chastain landed on the roof in a whirl of whipping wind and snapping cape. She had short black hair, and a fairly slender build. She wore a police uniform and a matching cape. She wore no mask, operating openly as the first superpowered member of the Generica Police Force. <<pinup "https://www.spankingrpgs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/tempestas.webp" "Officer Bernice Chastain in a uniform and cape." >> She glared at Scarlet Moon.

"It looks like the Generica Bridge collapsed, dumping some strange magic crystal into the water." "Right. It's a giant red ruby that seems to serve as a catalyst for Glow.

"Whose currently locked away somewhere in some federal government black site." "Not anymore." Bernice sighed and massaged her forehead. "Also, your brother's a girl now.

Scarlet Moon spent the next few minutes explaining everything that had happened that night. By the end, a veritible windstorm whipped around the building, and Bernice's eyes glowed with a pale white light. "So you're telling //me// that a couple of federal spooks decided to ship a GIANT Glow Catalyst into MY city, without informing ME or ANYONE else on the force? They somehow turned my BROTHER into my SISTER while holding MY SIBLINGS in some godsforsaken who-knows-where, siblings who by the way, managed to ESCAPE and are now running free through the city. Oh, and apparently you all couldn't be bothered to RESTRAIN said siblings before you spanked them silly, giving Prometheus the opportunity to //burn down the Generica Bridge//?" [["\"Sounds like only one of those things was our fault?\""|s2ep1_bernice_up_to_speed_1]] [["\"Umm, yeah.

The next thing Scarlet Moon knew, $she was bent under Bernice's arm, <<costume '$her spandex pants at half-mast, $her <<fat>> bare, <<jiggly>> cheeks thrust into the air.' '$her bare, <<jiggly>> bottom thrust into the air, <<fat>> cheeks swallowing $her spandex thong.'>> Lines of fire criss-crossed $her <<fat>> rear as Bernice gave $herm a good and proper wind switching. <<link 'Howl and buck and kick.'>> <<replace "#s2ep1_bernice_up_to_speed_1_switch">> "Oh quit your carrying on," said Bernice, tightening her grip on the squirming $superheroine. "You'd think you'd never been spanked before." "But it hurts!" wailed Scarlet Moon, $her <<bodytype 'slender' 'broad' 'large'>> hips wiggling, $her bare, <<bodytype 'toned' 'chubby' 'plump'>> thighs jiggling as $she kicked. $Her <<fat>> cheeks rippled and bounced as the invisible switches sank deeply into $her vulnerable cheeks. "Of course it does!" snapped Bernice. "You and your missing friends let a supervillain //burn down Generica Bridge//" Scarlet Moon wailed, kicking and howling, bucking and twisting as Bernice's wind switches rained down repeatedly on $her bare, <<jiggly>> buttocks. Eventually, after an eternity of agony, Bernice released Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon leapt to $her feet and danced around the roof, rubbing $her <<fat>>, heavily striped buttocks, the exposed cheeks rolling under $her fingers as $she danced. "Next time, use some of those cords of yours to tie up Prometheus. Now, I need to go help with disaster relief. You get your naughty ass out of here before the Chief demands I arrest you." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"Oww! Oww! Hey come on!

It's a miracle nobody was hurt, the economic consequences of this will be felt for months, if not years, and there's a magic ruby at the bottom of the river! You want fair? I'll show you fair!" Bernice's hand came down on Scarlet Moon's <<fat>> ass, her long-fingered palm sinking deeply into the <<soft>> flesh. As Bernice lifted $her palm, the wind switches cut red lines across Scarlet Moon's <<jiggly>> rear until Bernice's palm came down again, flattening Scarlet Moon's upthrust, bare bottom. And so, Scarlet Moon could do nothing but howl as Bernice spanked $herm silly, her wind switches stinging Scarlet Moon's naked rear between each smack, giving the $girl no rest at all between strokes. Scarlet Moon didn't know how long the spanking went on, Bernice's palm working in tandem with her wind switches. But Scarlet Moon grew too tired to continue struggling, and sagged limply in Bernice's grip, squealing and sobbing as the spanking continued. When Bernice finally released $herm, Scarlet Moon fell to $her knees and rubbed $her throbbing rear. Bernice sighed and knelt down next to Scarlet Moon. She rubbed the $girl's rear. "I'm sorry. But seriously. The collateral damage //has// to stop. Now, I need to go help with disaster relief. You go home and rest." Bernice stood, and leapt off into the air, her cape snapping in the wind. <<modifySore 1>> <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Close your eyes and take your punishment.'>> <<replace "#s2ep1_bernice_up_to_speed_1_switch">> Scarlet Moon squeezed $her eyes shut. $She bit $her knuckle, while $her other hand clung to Bernice's leg. $She locked $her knees and pushed $her <<fat>>, <<costume 'bare' 'thong-clad'>> ass up in submissive offering to Bernice's switches. The switches laid into Scarlet Moon's sensitive, bare cheeks with gusto, leaving lines of fiery red welts behind. Scarlet Moon grunted into $her knuckle, and $her fingers dug into Bernice's leg. "That's a good $girl," said Bernice with no small amount of pride, though the switches didn't slow. "Our friends could learn a thing or two from you." Eventually, right around when Scarlet Moon wasn't sure if $she could hold still much longer, Bernice released $her. Scarlet Moon hissed and rubbed $her throbbing rear, $her exposed cheeks rolling and squishing under $her fingers. "I have to go help with disaster relief," said Bernice. "You go home and rest." Bernice turned to leave, but paused and looked. "And look, getting everyone off the bridge safely was no mean feat. It never should have been necessary, but you $girls got the important part right." With that, Bernice leapt away. <</replace>> <</link>> Scarlet Moon took a moment to rub $her throbbing bottom, before swinging off into the night. $She tapped $her earpiece. "Hey. I, umm, debriefed Officer Chastain. Where are you?" "Library roof," said Eclipse. Scarlet Moon made $her way there. When $she landed, $she found the other three standing around a bit sheepishly. Eclipse approached and forced a smile. "So. How did it go?" <<modifySore 1>> <<set $spankee to $spankee + 1>> [[Put Eclipse over your knee.|s2ep1_bridge_spank_eclipse]] [["\"Really wish you three hadn't abandoned me like that.\""|s2ep1_bridge_tempestas_abandoned]] [[Shrug. "About how you'd expect."|s2ep1_bridge_tempestas_shrug]]

Eclipse yelped as her curvy body went over Scarlet Moon's <<costume 'spandex-clad' 'bare'>> thigh. Her giant, round ass thrust into the air, buttocks wobbling, the caramel skin left completely exposed by her black and gold thong costume. Scarlet Moon wove a scarlet paddle, and brought it down //hard// on Eclipse's fat right cheek. Eclipse squealed and drummed her feet. Her palms pressed against the roof, while her pillowy cheek rippled under the stroke. "Oww! Come on Moon! I didn't want to get switched!" <<link '"Well now you\'re getting your fat ass paddled!

Eclipse squealed and yelped. She kicked and flailed. She wiggled desperately on her $sister's thigh. But Scarlet Moon held her down firmly, raining down stroke after stroke after stroke. For ten minutes, Scarlet Moon made Eclipse's plump bottom dance. $Her paddle rained down on those pillowy cheeks until they'd taken on a dark red tone, and $her sister was sobbing and wailing in pain. "Please Moon!" sobbed Eclipse. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I won't abandon you like that again." Scarlet Moon answered with a dozen hard, fast smacks, six to each bucking, jiggling, wobbling cheek. Eclipse shrieked and kicked wildly, her hair flying around her head. Finally, Scarlet Moon let Eclipse up. The superheroine danced in place, rubbing her swollen bottom and mewling. Next, Scarlet Moon turned $her glowing gaze on Bright and Anklyana, both of whom took nervous steps backwards. Twenty minutes later, three very regretful superheroines rubbed their very red and tender thong-clad bottoms. Eclipse gave her $sister a hug. "Sorry." Anklyana and Bright nodded. Scarlet Moon dissipated $her paddle and patted $her sister on the back. [["\"Now that that's taken care of, what's your next step?\""|s2ep1_post_bridge_spankings]] [["\"You're all forgiven.

The three winced. Eclipse awkwardly rubbed the back of her head. "You know, you could have run too." "We can't stick around and take credit for our successes, and then go to ground for our failures," said Scarlet Moon. "You know that Eclipse. You're better than that." Eclipse briefly met Scarlet Moon's dissapointed gaze, then winced and looked away. "Fine. It was my idea to run. I'll let Bernice spank me next time we see her." "You'll //ask// her to spank you." Eclipse sighed. "Fine! Fine. I'll ask her. Happy now?" Scarlet Moon shrugged. "I am sorry," said Eclipse. Scarlet Moon smiled and gave $her sister a hug. "Relax. You're a pain in my ass, but you're still my sister." "So we're good?" asked Eclipse. <<link '"Yes.

Eclipse winced. "Ouch." "Yeah." Scarlet Moon rubbed $her soundly switched bottom. "Well." Eclipse clapped her hands together. "Seems like a great segue into us talking abbout what the heck went wrong back there." <<include s2ep1_post_bridge_spankings>>

Scarlet Moon leapt off the bridge, and swung away as fast as $she could. "I don't know about this," said Anklyana nervously over their earpieces. "I feel like we really should have stayed and talked to Officer Chastain." "If you'd like, I'll happily drop you back off on the roof," said Bright. "You can tell me when Chastain's done beating your adorably chubby bottom raw." "It's not adorable! Or chubby!" said Anklyana. "Well, maybe a little." "So, you want me to take you back?" "Erm, no." "Once you get some distance, make your way to the library roof," said Eclipse. "We need to talk about what happened." Bright groaned. "Or, Anklyana and I could just go home." "You mean the dorm suite we all share?" Bright sighed. "Fine." About twenty minutes later, the four alighted on the roof of the library. Eclipse took a deep breath, and ran a hand through her hair. "Right. Let's talk about what happened back there." [["\"Oh, this is gonna be rough.\""|s2ep1_post_bridge_spankings]] [["\"Unpleasant things.

<<set $keyword_s2ep1_failed_bridge to 1>> <<chosen '"That\'s an understatement!"' '"Oh yes! Very impressive! You all should be proud of yourselves!"' '"What in God\'s name happened back there?"' >> A whirlwind whipped around the four, and a slender, athletic woman with short black hair landed on the roof. She wore a police uniform, and a swirling cape. Officer Bernice Chastain. Once she went by Tempestas, but then she revealed her identity when the crime lord Roots discovered her secret identity and tried to blackmail her. Since then she's operated openly on the police force as the force's first Supreme officer. <<pinup "https://www.spankingrpgs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/tempestas.webp" "Officer Bernice Chastain in a uniform and cape." >> "Officer Chastain," said Eclipse with a little squeak. "Hi!" "Generalissima I suppose," said Chastain. "Yes, well I go by Eclipse now," said Eclipse, shifting from foot to foot. She held up her cape. "You like the cape? It was inspired by yours!" Chastain crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot. Eclipse coughed awkwardly. "Anyway. Yes. What happened. That's a bit of a story--eep!" There was a whistle of wind, and Eclipse squealed, her hands flying back to rub her bouncing, bare buttocks. "Stop wasting my time." "Your brother's a girl!" burst out Anklyana. Bernice frowned. "Eh?" "And quite the curvy one too," said Bright with a titter. "That swimsuit was at least three sizes too small." Another whistle of wind. Bright squealed, her hands lancing back to her bottom. "Hey! It's true!" said Bright huffily. "Poseidon's a girl." "In a thong bikini," said Bright, rubbing her rear. "They tried to steal a giant ruby coming into the city--" said Eclipse "What? Giant red ruby?" asked Tempestas, her eyes swiveling back to Eclipse. Eclipse sighed. "If you would stop interrupting long enough to listen, I will explain everything." [["\"Make sure to include every detail.

By the time Eclipse finished bringing Bernice up to speed, gusts of wind blasted across the roof. Bernice stood in the center of the roof, cape snapping in the wind, eyes glowing with a pale white glow. "So let me get this straight," said Bernice. "A couple of federal spooks decided to ship a GIANT Glow Catalyst into MY city, without informing ME or ANYONE else on the force? They somehow turned my BROTHER into my SISTER while holding MY SIBLINGS in some godsforsaken who-knows-where, siblings who by the way, managed to ESCAPE and are now running free through the city. Oh, and apparently you all couldn't be bothered to RESTRAIN said siblings before you spanked them silly, giving Prometheus the opportunity to //burn down the Generica Bridge//? Oh, and in case I forget, you failed to find a way to turn the damn ruby off, meaning there's now an active Glow volcano //at the bottom of the river//?" "Umm, well when you put it that way..." Eclipse shrugged and smiled nervously. Moments later, four $heroines stood with their hands on their knees, four backs arched, <<costume 'four round bottoms thrust out.' 'four spandex thongs swallowed by four outthrust bottoms.'>> Squeals filled the night air, while those four bottoms wiggled and jiggled under a cascade of whistling wind switches. "This isn't fair!" wailed Bright, dancing in place as her pert bottom bounces under Bernice's switches. "We tried our best!" "You burned down a major throughfare, left a Glow volcano under the river, and couldn't even catch the bad guys!" shouted Bernice over the whistle of the wind switches.

Stop it it hurts!" wailed Anklyana. "Good. It's supposed to," said Bernice, her arms crossed over her chest, her cape snapping in the breeze as she soundly switched the four $heroines with cutting winds. "This is a disaster, and one that'll take months to clean up. I've half a mind to make sure none of you even //think// of sitting until then." "Please!" sobbed Anklyana, her big, soft bottom rippling and jiggling under the switches, her plump rear a mess of red stripes. "We're just trying to help people!" Bernice sighed, and the switches stopped. "Yeah, yeah I know. It's why I decided to switch the four of you silly, instead of toss your <<costume 'asses' 'thongs'>> in a jail cell." Anklyana danced around, rubbing her bottom and wailing. Eclipse wiggled and danced, rubbing her rear and mewling. Bright zipped around in the air above the roof, clutching her rear. Bernice sighed. "Look, at least it wasn't a complete disaster. At least you made sure nobody was hurt. The rest will be sorted out. You four go home and get some sleep. I'll take it from here. And for the love of God, contact me //immediately// if you find any hints of Prometheus and Poseidon. We stopped them once, we'll do it again." With that, Bernice lifted into the air and zoomed off to the ruined bridge. "So, what now?" asked Anklyana, rubbing her rear. "We go home of course," said Eclipse. She looked around. "I see no signs of those stupid SPANK agents, and I think we've all been punished plenty for our mistakes, don't you?" Bright and Anklyana nodded. "Then let's go home." [["\"Dibs on the shower.\""|s2ep1d2_start]] [["\"Just a minor setback. Don't worry gals, Justice will prevail!\""|s2ep1d2_start]] [[Say nothing.|s2ep1d2_start]]

"First and foremost, Bright. What the heck?" Eclipse turned a glare on Bright. Bright crossed her arms over her ample breasts with a huff. "Look, I'm not a tank. I'm a striker. DPS. I zip around and shoot things." "Yes, but you were also the only one who could catch up to the firebolt," said Eclipse. "Literally it was //you// do the heroic thing, or let the bridge burn. //And you chose to let the bridge burn?//" "Whatever. Nobody got hurt anyway, so I don't see what's the big deal," said Bright, cocking her hip and tossing her hair petulantly over her shoulder. The words were barely out of her mouth before Eclipse was on her, grabbing her by her bare shoulders. "Anklyana." Anklyana squeaked, and created a stool-like forcefield for Eclipse to sit on. Eclipse did exactly that, sitting on the forcefield and bending Bright's struggling, scantily clad form over her bare thighs. Eclipse flicked up Bright's diaphanous gold half-skirt, fully exposing Bright's pert bottom, round, firm butt cheeks quivering as she squirmed on Eclipse's lap. "Let me go! This isn't fair," howled Bright, kicking her feet, her buttocks, bare save for a golden thong, rolling and rippling. "Oh yes it is." Eclipse began smacking Bright's wiggling bottom with hard, bum flattening smacks. Bright squealed, and her kicking grew more frantic as her raised bottom bounced under Eclipse's palm. "And you know it too, or you would have flown out of my reach." "You surprised me!" cried Bright. She bucked and twisted, trying to shield her bottom with her hand. Eclipse caught her by the wrist and pinned it to the small of her back. She picked up the pace, her hand raining down with sharp cracks that made Scarlet Moon and Anklyana wince. "Bullcrap." Eclipse hooked her leg over Bright's bare thighs, holding the girl's legs down. She picked up the pace, her hands unleashing a staccato rhythm on Bright's rapidly reddening bottom. "You put on that costume because you said you wanted to be a hero. To protect people, help people, stop bad guys. Well, tonight the rubber hit the road. There were a lot of innocent people in danger, and only you could save them. And you flinched, and you know it. And you know you deserve every smack I give your naughty bottom." Bright sobbed. She slumped over Eclipse's lap, crying and wailing, as Eclipse spanked her. For a solid hour, Eclipse spanked her. Eclipse periodically paused for a minute or two to give Bright a break, and rub her dark red bottom, but the vast majority of that hour was spent with Eclipse's hand splatting Bright's bare bottom, while the superheroine howled and wailed. As soon as Eclipse let her off her lap, Bright flew into the air, and zipped away, clutching her bottom and sobbing. [[Leap after Bright. "Bright, wait!"|s2ep1_post_bridge_follow_bright]] [["\"Maybe we should just give her a minute...\""|s2ep1_post_bridge_1]]

Before Eclipse or Anklyana could say anything, Scarlet Moon leapt into the air, and swung after Bright's golden, sobbing form. For a moment, Scarlet Moon thought $she'd lost her, but then $she found the girl clinging to the top of the clocktower, holding her rear with one hand and sobbing. Scarlet Moon landed next to her, and put a hand on Bright's shoulder. Bright angrily ripped off her goggles, revealing the puffy-eyed visage of Alexandra Silver, younger daughter of CEO Philippa Silver, and sister of Jezebel Silver, jailed crime boss also known as Roots. She held them above her head as if to chuck them into the street below. "I don't even know why I bother! I can't do this. I'm too fucking cowardly!" Scarlet Moon gave Bright's shoulder a squeeze. "I went looking through some of the stuff in Jezebel's evil lair after we stopped her. She inherited the whole Roots thing from Grandfather. So Dad was heir to a massive criminal organization. And he left. Just abandoned us when we were little. Probably didn't have the courage to face his kids. Mother's said several times I take a lot after him. Guess I got his courage too." Scarlet Moon started to say something, but Alex spoke over $herm. "Over and over again, I prove it. Over and over again," sobbed Alex. "I tried to catch Vanessa for petty thievery, instead of helping you with actually dangerous villains. When Jezebel captured you, I fucking joined her side because I was too scared to fight her. And now I couldn't even take a fireball to the face. The bridge is gone lots of people could have been killed.

Scarlet Moon landed on the roof where $she'd left Eclipse and Anklyana. "How's she doing?" asked Anklyana. Scarlet Moon shrugged. "Her ass hurts, and she's going through a bit of a crisis of confidence. I helped her talk through it some." Eclipse ran a hand through her hair. "Think I overdid it.

"Right, well. That's neither here nor there," said Eclipse, clapping her hands together. She gave Scarlet Moon and Anklyana a stern look. "Let's talk about you two." After a beat, she broke into a broad smile, and clapped them on the shoulders. "You two did good. I know I asked the impossible, but you did good." Anklyana shrugged. "Still feel like I failed." "That's because we did. But we did our best." "Doesn't really feel like it," said Anklyana, kicking at the roof. "I can give you a spanking if you'd like," said Eclipse, her eyes sparkling and her lips curling up in a smile. "Umm, no," said Anklyana, her hands flying back to cup her large bottom. "No, I don't think I'm feeling that guilty." "You sure?" said Eclipse, her playful smirk growing. "Yes." "How about just a little one." Eclipse danced around Anklyana, and smacked her on the rear, making Anklyana's large, exposed bottom jump. "Oww! Hey!" Anklyana wrapped Eclipse in a bubble, ran around behind her, released the bubble, and smacked Eclipse on //her// exposed bottom, causing the soft flesh to bounce wildly. Eclipse yelped and danced away. "Ok! Ok! Gosh, can't take a joke." Anklyana rolled her eyes and smirked. "Feeling better now?" asked Eclipse. Anklyana nodded.

"I thought you were just trying to distract her," said Eclipse defensively. "I was getting through to her," said Scarlet Moon. "I might have been able to talk her down, and avoid this whole debacle, but then you had to go and tackle her!" "Oh please. She was just leading you on," said Eclipse, folding her arms over her ample chest and cocking a broad hip. "Besides, there was no talking down Prometheus." "You don't know that! She might have followed Poseidon's lead," said Scarlet Moon. "Yes I do," snapped Eclipse. "Well, you still should have let them make the first move," said Scarlet Moon.

<<set $spanker to $spanker + 1>> "Hey!" squawked Eclipse as Scarlet Moon grabbed her and tucked the other superheroine under $her arm. Scarlet Moon straightened, forcing Eclipse it dangle from $her arm. Eclipse kicked and squirmed. Her upthrust bottom rolled and jiggled, soft, thong-clad cheeks bouncing under Scarlet Moon's shoulder. Scarlet Moon wove $her Glow into a paddle, and brought it down hard on Eclipse's fat tushy. Eclipse squealed and kicked as her pillowy left cheek rippled under the swat. "Oww! Hey! Let me go! This isn't fair! Oww!" Scarlet Moon rained down hard and fast strokes on Eclipse's exposed bottom.

Scarlet Moon stirred awake, faint voices heard above $herm. $She groaned and rubbed $her throbbing head. "Scarlet Moon!" cried Eclipse.

Bright looked a little tear streaked, and she was absently rubbing her bottom. Officer Chastain was once known as Tempestas, before going public when the crime boss Roots discovered her secret identity and tried to blackmail her with it. She was a tall, fit, slender woman with short dark hair. She wore a police uniform and cape. <<pinup "https://www.spankingrpgs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/tempestas.webp" "Officer Bernice Chastain in a uniform and cape." >> "Are you ok Scarlet Moon?" asked Bernice gently.

Natalie yelped. "Wait! Wait! Wait!" "Three." The door yanked open, and Natalie, aka Anklyana, stood there looking rather disheveled, and dressed in pink and purple pajamas.

"No fair! I opened it at three!" "After three. Probably about four seconds or so. So four smacks," said Alex. "That--" "I can spank you some more if you want."

"Keiko's parents picked her up yesterday Nat," said Juliana, giving Natalie a confused frown. Natalie struck her forehead. "Right, sorry. I remembered as soon as I asked the question. Probably never gonna see her again, are we?" "I mean, would you let your child study in a foreign city with a bunch of Supremes suddenly showing up?" "No, probably not. What about Vanessa?" "Think she said she had a final this morning," said Alex. "But it doesn't matter, because this is for just the four of us." Alex grinned. "And you know what that means..." Four flashes of light later, and Eclipse, Scarlet Moon, Anklyana and Bright stood in the suite common room. Anklyana looked over her shoulder down at her own mostly-exposed bottom and sighed. The four slipped out the window, and climbed up onto the roof. Anklyana clambered onto Bright's back, and Bright lifted into the air, leading the other two towards the suburbs to the south. "This is starting to look familiar," said Eclipse. Bright stopped, and pointed a few blocks further south to a nondescript house. "Probably because Scarlet Moon's been here before." Scarlet Moon recognized it alright. [["\"Is that Leopard's old hideout?\""|s2ep1d2_start_3]] [["\"That's Leopard's hideout!

Bright beamed. "Someone bought it and is putting it up for rent. I figured it would be perfect for us." "Are you kidding?" said Anklyana, thumping Bright on the head. "I'm not gonna live in a supervillain's lair!" Eclipse laughed and clapped her hands. "Bright, this is wonderful! Just think of it. An entire, elaborate secret basement just a few modifications away from being our own training facility. A danger room, if you will." Anklyana smacked Bright's round bottom. The pale cheeks jiggled under the diaphanous skirt, and Bright squealed. "Hey! What was that for?" asked Bright. "The last thing Eclipse needs is new toys to torment us with," said Anklyana. Eclipse pursed her lips. "It's not tormenting. It's training." "Same difference," said Anklyana. Bright pouted. "I thought you'd be excited. You'd get your own room for one thing. No sharing with Keiko. Or whoever the school decides to shove you with." "My own room you say?" said Anklyana, chewing on her lower lip. "What's rent?" "Well, Mother will be covering half of it, and the other half will need to be split four ways between us," said Bright. "So, $200 a month." Anklyana sighed. "Dad would be happy about that. Much cheaper than living on campus. Even with my scholarship. But a supervillain's lair? Really?" [["\"I think it sounds like fun.\""|s2ep1d2_start_4][$selection to 1]] [["\"I'd live in Succubus' basement for $200 a month.\""|s2ep1d2_start_4][$selection to 2]] [[Nod.|s2ep1d2_start_4][$selection to 3]]

<<chosen '"Of course you\'d think so," said Anklyana.' '"Good to know," said Anklyana wryly.' 'Anklyana sighed. "You all are gonna drive me to drink."' >> "Oh, fine. Fine! Let's go check it out." The four landed in an alley a few blocks away from the house. As soon as Anklyana slid off her back, Bright spun around the girl and gave her chubby ass a firm smack. Anklyana yelped and danced from foot to foot, her hands flying back to her wobbling bottom. "Hey!" "For smacking me," said Bright as she flashed back into Alex. "You deserved it," said Anklyana as she flashed into Natalie. "For what? Finding you a dirt cheap but nice place to live next year?" asked Alex, rolling her eyes. "Maybe we should make you live in the cupboard." "I still think giving Juli any new toys is a bad idea," said Natalie, giving Juliana a wary look. Juliana returned the look with an innocent (and gleeful) smile. The four walked the few blocks to the house, and found Madame Rossi waiting. Alex's face paled when she saw the woman, and one hand eased back to rub her bottom. She likely remembered the spanking she got from this woman on the beach last August, right before getting kidnapped by Buzzsaw and setting the stage for Scarlet Moon's debut. "Still think you didn't deserve that smack?" asked Natalie with a smirk. Alex glared at Natalie. She raised her hand as if to smack Natalie's bottom, glanced over at the tall, broad shouldered woman walking towards them, and apparently thought better of it. Natalie's smile widened. "Ah, Miss Silver," said Madame Rossi. "Right on time. And would you look at that, $name, one my very favorite <<female 'waitresses' 'waiters'>>. So, have you decided yet if you'd like to do some serving on my beach this year?" [["\"What, flounce around in a nothing but a few strings in the hot sun serving entitled rich folk?

"But think of the tips my dear, think of the tips," said Madame Rossi, patting $name on the shoulder. "Especially with a rump like yours! And you'd have full access to the beach on your off days." "Yeah $name. Think of the tips," said Juliana with a giggle.

"Come now. I need an answer," said Madame Rossi. "The sooner I know, the sooner I can get you on the schedule, or find somebody else." "Did Vanessa agree?" asked $name. Rossi shook her head. "No, but she seems to have found something else. She's asked to cut her hours back at the Silver Spoon too, not that I can blame her. I don't know for certain, but Madame Rossi knows her girls, and she's had a rough year." "We all have," said Natalie. Rossi nodded. "Aye, with all this Supreme nonsense. But Vanessa's had it especially rough I think. Don't know the details, but I can tell, oh yes I can. But she is not here! Come, $name. Last chance. Yes or no?" [["\"Yes.\""|s2ep1d2_rossi_yes]] [["\"No.\""|s2ep1d2_rossi_no]]

<<set $keyword_beach_waitress to true>> "Wonderful!" said Rossi. "You're working tomorrow night I believe yes? Come by a bit early if you can, and we can talk details for the beach job. Now, come. Let me show you four the house. A perfect home for a group of hardworking <<female 'young ladies' 'college students'>> like yourselves." Juliana giggled and elbowed $name.

<<set $keyword_beach_waitress to false>> Madame Rossi's face fell. "Alas. You would have looked lovely indeed, and with such a wonderful tableside manner, and so teachable too. But it is what it is. Come you four, come! Let me show you the house. A perfect home for a group of hardworking <<female 'young ladies' 'college students'>> like yourselves." "Boring," said Juliana, rolling her eyes. "$name doesn't have to run around with $her ass hanging out serving drinks if $she doesn't want to," said Natalie. "Never said $she did," said Juliana. "$She can be as boring as $she wants."

Madame Rossi gave the four a quick tour of the house: a four bed, and two bath home pretty standard for Generica. At one point during the tour, $name found $herself near the back of the group, walking next to Natalie, while Juliana and Alex discussed the house with Madame Rossi.

So many cuddles. Best thing when you're scared." The two held each other for a moment. Natalie pulled away, but not before giving $name a kiss. "Let's talk later.

You can make it up to me later. With cuddles." $name raised an eyebrow. Natalie giggled. "Lots, and lots of cuddles." "Yo, $name, Natalie you coming?" called Alex's voice from somewhere around the corner. "Or do you need to borrow a bedroom for a bit?" called Juliana. There was a sharp smack, and Juliana squealed. "None of you are having sex in this house until you're paying rent. Got me?" said Madame Rossi. "It was just a joke," said Juliana. "A crass one." "The best kind, I mean, wait--oww!" Another crisp smack. Natalie's smile broadened. "Let's get going, before your silly sister gets herself turned over your boss' knee." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Shrug.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Natalie sighed and looked away. "I know, you're not comfortable talking here." "Sorry. I love you Nat," said $name. "Maybe we can talk later." Natalie gave a relieved grin. She leaned against $name. "I'm glad to hear it.

Natalie shrugged and gave a mildly amused smile. "It's nice enough. Leopard seemed to have taken reasonably good care of it at least." $name nodded. "It would be nice. Having a proper home, instead of being crammed into that dorm," said Natalie. "Did you see the bedrooms? They're like twice the size of the boxes we got back on campus. And I'm sure Dad will be thrilled. This is going to be much cheaper than living on campus. My scholarship handles books and tuition, but we had to pay for the dorm room." "But?" "But it's an ex-supervillain lair! Who knows what kind of deathtraps are lurking here." Natalie shuddered and rubbed her bottom.

"It's wonderful," said Alex to Madame Rossi as $name and Natalie caught up. "And you said $1600 a month in rent right?" "Yes. And you would be responsible for utilities and maintaining the yard of course," said Madame Rossi. "Of course." Madame Rossi gave Alex a stern look that made the blonde's smile wilt a little bit. "Shall we talk expectations?" "Umm..." Madame Rossi led the four into the living room. Hanging on a peg on the back wall was a wooden paddle, about the same size as a pingpong paddle but much thicker. All four <<female 'girls' 'students'>> blanched. "I will happily take the rent in parts. No need for you to coordinate to get some lump sum together," said Madame Rossi. "It's not uncommon for rent to come in from students piecemeal, and I have a process in place for keeping it straight. However, if I do not have the complete rent by the seventh of every month, all four of you will be paddled." "But that's not fair!" said Alex. "Why should I get paddled if Juli lapses on her rent?" Juliana rolled her eyes. "I think you're far more likely to forget than I." "Hush," said Madame Rossi. The single word closed Alex's and Juliana's mouths both. "Because you are all responsible for getting the complete rent to me in a timely manner. If I do not have it, then you have //all// failed in your responsibility. Clear?" [["\"Crystal.\""|s2ep1d2_house_1]] [[Nod meekly.| s2ep1d2_house_1]]

"Good. Next. I will be performing an inspection every month on the seventh. I expect the house to be kept clean. It doesn't have to be spotless, you're living in it not selling it. But there shouldn't be any food decaying in the fridge, ants crawling over the table, horrors in the toilets or any other disgusting filth. The lawn needs to be kept mowed and freed of weeds. I'm willing to knock $50 off each of your contributions if you maintain a nice garden in the front for curb appeal, but that is by no means necessary. If things break, report it to me immediately." Madame Rossi took the paddle off the wall. All four <<female 'girls' 'students'>> drew back. "Failure to meet my expectations will result in a paddling here in the living room. Each of you will be individually responsible for your own rooms, but communal rooms share communal responsibility, as does the yard. No drugs, and if you're drinking, you better be over 21. And I had //better// not receive any noise or other complaints from the neighbors, or you'll be paddled on the front porch and sent to apologize without pants. Understand?" "Do we get to keep our panties?" asked Natalie with a squeak. The others looked at her. "What? It's an important clarification!" "Yes. I allow you to keep your underwear and shirt on. For the apology. Now, are you interested?" asked Madame Rossi. She gave the girls a comforting smile. "And I know, all that sounds scary. But all it boils down to is: treat the house, your neighbors, and me with respect and everything will be fine." "Well, I like it," said Natalie. "What?" said Alex. "You were complaining about the place a minute ago!" "Well, yeah, but I don't think, Ms. Rossi's requirements are unreasonable." "You just want to watch me get paddled," said Alex with a groan. Natalie rolled her eyes. "Alex, the only time I wouldn't be bent over next to you is if you failed to keep your room clean. Does your bedroom normally have rotting food and cobwebs everywhere?" "Eww. No." "Then I'll be too busy getting it alongside you to watch." "Other than the monthly visits, we'll have privacy right?" asked Juliana. "I will give you at least 24 hours notice before I come over. Plenty of time to stash the drugs, alcohol, and boytoys." Madame Rossi's eyes sparkled with mirth. Juliana nodded eagerly, her eyes glittering. "Sounds good to me." [["\"I mean, you've been a fair boss, Madame Rossi. Always quick to defend your employees.

"Oh fine," said Alex. She shook her finger at her friends. "But if I get paddled because one of you misses the rent, or doesn't mow the lawn or something, I'm gonna hang you from the roof by your <<female 'thong.' 'underwear.'>>" "Does that mean that if //we// get paddled because //you// miss the rent or don't mow the lawn, we get to hang //you// from the roof by //your// <<female 'thong?' 'underwear?'>>" asked Juliana innocently. "I... well..." said Alex. "I, I, uhh, I guess we can extend each other some grace." "Very good. I've got the documents all laid out on the kitchen table. You can move in anytime," said Madame Rossi. "After exams, I think," said Natalie. She clapped her hands together. "Ooh! My own place! This is so exciting." A couple hours later, the quartet were sitting in a nearby diner having lunch. Natalie stared blankly at her plate. "I've never signed so many forms in my life." Alex nodded, and massaged her eyes. Juliana's watch buzzed. "Oh no," said Alex. "Tell me that doesn't--" "Ok. I won't." Juliana shoved her sandwich into her face, and stood up. "Let's move." [["\"Haha!

The four ducked into a nearby alley. $name touched a crescent moon necklace hanging around $her neck and channeled a sliver of Glow into it. In one brief flash of scarlet light, $her civilian clothing was replaced by $her Scarlet Moon costume. "Can never get a break," grumbled Alex. She touched one of her earrings and channeled some Glow into it. One brief flash of golden light, and Bright stood where Alex had been a moment before. "What are you talking about?" asked Natalie as she channeled Glow into her watch and flashed into Anklyana. She climbed onto Bright's shoulders. "You had the whole morning." "Only until 10." Bright's wings emerged and she lifted into the air. "And lying on the couch with an icepack on your ass isn't exactly a break." "I'm just glad they're making their move now and a few days ago. Least I'm done with my ex--" "Hush," said Eclipse curtly as she lead the way up into the sky. "Oh, umm sorry. Too detailed I suppose," said Anklyana.

Scarlet Moon landed on a rooftop, and narrowed $her eyes. $She could see Officer Chastain leaping and rolling, while gouts of water slammed into the roof behind and around her. Occasionally, she'd throw up her hands, and the blue-haired, voluptuous Poseidon would stagger back a step. Eclipse came to a hovering stop. Her eyes began to glow as she looked around. "I don't--" Jets of flame erupted from the vents in the roof Scarlet Moon was standing on, bathing the top of the building in liquid flames. Scarlet Moon blindly leapt off the roof, $her shield flaring around $herm. Eclipse threw herself backwards through the air, covering her face with her forearms. Anklyana wrapped herself and Bright in a green shield, while Bright flew high above the rooftop. The flames coalesced into a swirling, dancing, liquid human shape.

"Is this really happening?" asked Bright. "Did we just pause a highspeed superhero/villain chase for a spanking?" asked Anklyana. <<link '"Oh my God, Eclipse.

Scarlet Moon returned the favor with sharp, fast smacks to Eclipse's rotund bottom, even as she dangled under Eclipse's arm. The pillowy cheeks bounced and wobbled under the sharp smacks. "Oww! Gah! Stop Moon, or so help me--" Eclipse spun circles in midair. She spanked Scarlet Moon even faster, her hand blurring as it clapped against Scarlet Moon's <<jiggling>> <<costume 'spandex-clad' 'bare'>> cheeks. "You're the one who started spanking me mid-fight!" Scarlet Moon picked up $her pace to match, $her hand glowing as it sank repeatedly into Eclipse's fat orbs. "Oww! If anyone deserves a spanking, it's you! Ahh!" Prometheus laughed.

She threw a jet of flame at Eclipse that sizzled past her shoulder. "But it seems ufair not to light your ass on fire too!" Eclipse zoomed into the business park, and released Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon zipped onto the very roof where $she'd first fought Buzzsaw so many months ago. $She spied a rather shiny car parked across the street, but before $she could think much about it, Prometheus was on them, flinging jets of flame at them. Scarlet Moon leapt and dove, flames splashing against the roof, the air going hot and dry, the roar of raging flames filling $her ears. "Now!" barked Eclipse. A great green bubble surrounded Prometheus' blazing form. She raged and smashed repeatedly against it. Eclipse came to a hover in front of the contained, raging flames. She smiled smugly. "I'd calm down if I were you, or you'll burn away all your oxygen." Scarlet Moon spied Anklyana standing on a roof a few buildings away, her lips thinned in concentration. Bright fluttered next to her, one hand glowing with golden light, the other holding a glowing golden saber. Prometheus raged. The flames filled the bubble, smashing against it with such fury that Scarlet Moon could feel the heat even through Anklyana's bubble. Anklyana cried out, and the bubble burst. Prometheus surged to and fro, her feminine form slowly regaining itself. "That was not nice." Eclipse's eyes flared. "We're well past 'nice' you maniac." Prometheus roared and flew at Eclipse.

Prometheus laughed, her laughter like the roar of a forestfire, as the quartet fled. "That's right! Tremble before me! Flee me! I AM A GODDESS!" Prometheus roared after them, a torrent of crackling red and blue flames. "Oh God, how are we supposed to beat her //now//?" cried Bright as she zipped above the city, weaving and ducking to avoid Prometheus' flames. "We couldn't take her before she got hyped up on Glow juice!" Anklyana gave Bright a reassuring hug. "We'll figure something out. We always do." "But--" "Anklyana's right." Eclipse's voice, calm, collected, serene, cut through Bright's panicked protest. "Raw power isn't everything. In fact, we'll show Prometheus just how lacking it is." The quartet reached the abandoned business park. Scarlet Moon released $her cord and curled up into a ball. Flames lanced past $herm as $she plummeted towards the very roof where $she first fought Buzzsaw. Scarlet Moon landed gracefully on the roof, leaping and flipping to avoid Prometheus' firebolts. Bright dropped Anklyana next to $herm, who promptly threw up a shield around the pair. Bright and Eclipse zipped around in the air above the building, flying circles Prometheus like fighter jets around King King. "Ok," said Anklyana nervously. "How do we stop someone whose body is made of fire?" [["Power: \"Same way you stop a fire. By smothering it.\""|s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_1_power]] [["Charm: \"We tire her out. Oye! Prometheus!

Scarlet Moon wove $her Glow into a large blanket and flung it over Prometheus' fiery form. Anklyana grinned in understanding and wrapped a thick green bubble over the blanket and flames, cinching it tight. A great green-and-red prism filled the blue sky above them, flames roaring in its center. <<statCheck $power s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_1_power_success s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_1_power_failure>> <<decreaseStat "power">>

Scarlet Moon staggered as Prometheus' flames slammed against the bubble $she and Anklyana had wrapped her in. But Anklyana caught Scarlet Moon and steadied $herm, giving $herm an encouraging smile, even as her own cheeks broke out in a sweat. Scarlet Moon shared the smile, and turned $her focus back on the wrippling, roiling prism above them. "I'd stop if I were you Prometheus," called Eclipse. "Or you'll burn through all your oxygen and suffocate." Anklyana frowned. "I hadn't...if her flames go out, what happens to her?" As if on cue, the flames in the center of the prism flickered down to nothing. Anklyana yelped, and both $she and Scarlet Moon released their shields. "Oh God, if we killed--" An explosion of heat and fire erupted in the air, sending Eclipse and Bright flying backwards, and knocking Scarlet Moon and Anklyana on their backs. "Gotcha!" said Prometheus, the fires swirling back into a feminine form. "Chumps." "You!" snarled Anklyana, her eyes glowing a blazing green light. "You *used* our own basic decency against us! You played dead, because you knew we aren't a bunch of psychopathic killers, because we don't want to kill anyone!" "Ding ding ding," said Prometheus smugly. "And that's why you'll always lose, little Anklyana. Because you don't have the guts--hey!" Eclipse struck Prometheus's flaming shoulder with a thrown sphere. The sphere exploded, bathing her side in fire retardant foam. Prometheus yelped and dispersed, reforming herself a few feet away. She whirled to face Eclipse, pinpricks of hot white light blazing where eyes would be in her vaguely humanoid form. "You're really getting on my nerves noobie," snarled Prometheus. She flung herself at Eclipse, her humanoid form melting away into a tidal wave of flame.

Scarlet Moon stumbled and fell to $her knees as Prometheus' flames slammed into the edges of the writhing and twisting Glow prism. "Can't...so strong..." Anklyana tried to catch $herm, but just then, Prometheus smashed into the prism like a rampaging elephant smashing into the fence. The prism shattered, and the flames exploded into the air, driving Eclipse and Bright back. "Bad little $superheroines," said Prometheus. She reformed on the roof, and lashed out with long flaming arms, her fiery hands smacking Scarlet Moon's and Anklyana's <<costume 'bottoms.' 'bare bottoms.'>> "You can't contain a wildfire." Anklyana squealed, and danced away, clutching her rippling rump. <<link '"Oww! Jerk!"'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Oww! Jerk!" Scarlet Moon's hands lanced back to rub $her literally burning bottom. Prometheus chuckled. "I know what you are, but what am I?"

Prometheus flew apart, jets of flame arcing up in the air, before turning and lancing at Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the edge of the roof and zipped to the farside, turning and twisting to avoid the jets of flames. The flames reformed into a vaguely feminine shape. Prometheus laughed. "You can't hurt me anymore Moon. Nobody what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can't hurt me. I am pure flame!" "I can!" cried Eclipse flying by and throwing a metal sphere at Prometheus. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Say nothing.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "So very stoic," said Prometheus. "But I can see the fear in your eyes. The uncertainty. Humanity has feared fire since its inception. They've never truly harnessed it, never truly tamed it. And they never will." "But we've gotten damn good at putting it out!" Eclipse flew by, throwing a metal sphere at Prometheus. <</replace>> <</link>> The sphere struck Prometheus on the shoulder, and exploded into a cloud of fire retardant foam. Prometheus cried out in pain, and dispersed, reforming a few feet away. She whirled to glare at Eclipse, white hot pinpricks of light flaring where her eyes should have been. "Time for some deep fried rookie!" Prometheus exploded into a wave of flame and enveloped Eclipse.

Prometheus whirled to glare at Scarlet Moon. "Don't you dare. Don't. You. Dare. I grew up with Bernice! Do you have *any* idea how many your mom jokes I had to put up with?" Bright shuddered. "I don't want to think about it." "YOUR MOM knows!" Prometheus roared, and unleashed a massive gout of flame, but the blast went wide and Scarlet Moon had no problem dodging. Prometheus chased after $herm, lunging at Scarlet Moon, throwing balls of flame at $herm, flinging firebolts with abandon. "When I get my hands on you, I'm gonna spank you so hard, it'll light your <<costume 'spandex' 'trashy thong'>> on fire!" Scarlet Moon leapt and dodged, easily avoiding the attacks. Prometheus' attacks were hasty and clumsy, gouts of flame often going wide, or splattering against the roof before dissipating. Finally, Scarlet Moon swung around behind Eclipse, who held up her fist. Prometheus' flames flared, and the villain charged right at Eclipse. Fire retardant foam erupted from a small nodule on Eclipse's glove, spraying the flaming villain in the face. Prometheus shrieked, and dissipated, reforming a few feet away. Eclipse smirked. "Come now Prometheus, you really didn't think we'd come prepared to fight fire?" Two white hot points burned where Prometheus' eyes would normally be. "You can't fight this fire rookie!" Prometheus burst apart into a tidal wave of flame, and swept over Eclipse.

Prometheus whirled to glare at Scarlet Moon. "That's the best you could come up with? That was terrible! And not in a good, 'oh no $she didn't' sort of way, but just in a bad 'that was neither insulting nor funny' sort of way. And kind of disgusting, if I'm going to be honest. Like seriously. I'm embarrassed for you." Prometheus lunged at Scarlet Moon, flinging firebolts at the $superheroine. Scarlet Moon dodged, and twisted, but the firebolts flew with precision and control, and many off them splattered against Scarlet Moon's shield. Scarlet Moon stumbled, $her shield wavering under the flames and $she staggered to one knee under the attack. Bright zipped in, golden saber flashing, but her blade passed harmlessly through Prometheus' fiery body. "Dumb blonde indeed." Prometheus chuckled and caught Bright on one of her passthroughs, put the girl over a fiery knee and gave her pert, firm, exposed bottom three sharp smacks with a fiery palm. Bright squealed and zipped into the air, clutching her derriere. Prometheus laughed, and lunged at Scarlet Moon, only to bounce off a glowing green wall. She smirked at Anklyana. "Always so noble and selfless. Well, you know what they say. No good deed goes unpunished!" Prometheus burst into a cascade of flames, and swept around behind Anklyana, forming into a humanoid figure again. Anklyana spun, only for Prometheus to grab her by the shoulders and tip her over a flaming thigh. Anklyana yelped as her big, fat, soft bottom thrust into the air, plump cheeks hanging out of her green thong leotard. Prometheus gave the girl's big, wobbly cheeks three hard smacks, each stroke sending ripples across her skin. Anklyana wailed and kicked. Bright zipped back down, ripping Anklyana from Prometheus' grasp and flying up into the air. Prometheus chuckled. "Anyone ever tell you your ass is smokin' in that outfit Bright? Or maybe it's just me." Eclipse flew out of the darkness and threw a sphere at Poseidon. The sphere exploded, dousing Prometheus in fire retardant foam. "Hey!" Prometheus burst apart, and reformed a few feet away, panting. "That hurt!" Eclipse smirked. "We came to fight a fire. You really think we wouldn't have brought a fire extinguisher?" "Extinguish this!" Prometheus burst into a tidal wave of flame and swept over Eclipse.

Eclipse leapt sideways into a barrel roll, her glowing golden cape flaring around her. Even as she dodged, her voice sounded in the others' ears. "I don't think Prometheus can really control her flames right now. Maybe if we give her more, we can overwhelm her. Fight fire with fire." "Oh yes. Let's start a citywide blaze," said Bright sarcastically. "Pay attention," said Eclipse curtly. "She isn't *burning* anything. Her firebolts dissipate almost as soon as she releases them. Any time she attacks one of us, the flames flicker away and she has to create new ones. I think her fire is being maintained through her own will." "So if she loses control--" said Bright. "Exactly." "But what happens to her?" asked Anklyana. "If all her flames go out..." "I don't know for certain," said Eclipse. "She'll probably maintain enough control to keep some of her fire going. Probably more likely than if we tried to extinguish her by conventional means. If I was at my computer, I could maybe run an analysis, but--" "But you can't stand not getting any credit," said Bright sardonically. <<link '"Bright!"'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Bright!" cried Scarlet Moon angrily. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"The day Eclipse takes credit for something that might get her in trouble is the day hell freezes over."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "The day Eclipse takes credit for something that might get her in trouble is the day hell freezes over," said Scarlet Moon with a roll of $her eyes. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Say nothing.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> <</replace>> <</link>> "I can't do it anymore, watching you risk yourselves," said Eclipse, her voice rich in pain. "Not since Roots captured us. I can't... I just... I can't do it. Sit there and worry and feel guilty because I dragged you into all this, but I get to sit safe at home on my computer while you fight a sapient fireball--aggh!" Distracted, Eclipse dodged right when she should have dodged left, and a firebolt struck her shoulder, sending her crashing onto the neighboring roof. "Got her!" said Prometheus with a satisfied chuckle. "Eclipse!" Bright rocketed over to her. "That's what you get for--oh crap!" Bright dodged sideways as Prometheus descended on Eclipse's smoking form like a fiery demon out of hell. Anklyana threw up a green bubble around the fallen heroine. Her knees shook as the flames flowed across the green bubble. "Dammit, I feel so useless," said Bright, her goggles blazing with light. She zipped around the roiling inferno. "I shoot things. What am I supposed to do, when there's nothing to shoot?" Scarlet Moon looked around for something, anything $she could use to either fan or extinguish Prometheus' flames. $Her eyes lit on two things: an empty, fancy car across the street likely chock full of gasoline, and a fire hydrant next to it. If Eclipse were right, they could knock Prometheus right out of the fight. But if she were wrong... The fire hydrant would probably be safer, but what if Anklyana were right? What if they completely extinguished Prometheus, and killed her?

"My mom!" <</replace>> <</link>> The car detonated in a roaring explosion. Orange flames reached up into the sky. Prometheus cackled. "Scarlet Moon, you're so incredibly stupid! Really, what kind of <<female 'bimbo' 'dumbass'>> throws a car at a living ball of--hey wait, what the--" The cloud of fire that was Prometheus shrank rapidly, flames flying off in random directions and winking out. Bright zipped across the roof, grabbed Eclipse and flew up into the air. Anklyana leapt over the edge of the roof, to be caught by Scarlet Moon, who swung several roofs away. Flames roiled and sputtered, and by the end all that remained was a woman, standing on the roof, burning bright, but more dimly than she ever had before. "How?" "Your reach exceeded your grasp," said Eclipse, pushing away from Bright and hovering next to her. "My, no!" snarled Prometheus. Flames flickered weakly around her "I AM POWER! My reach is infinite, my grasp--" "Finite," said Eclipse. "I'll, I'll show you infinite!" roared Prometheus, throwing her hands into the air. Flames erupted from them, spiraling high into the sunny sky, as if they sought the sun itself. But then they went out. And Prometheus collapsed.

"Oh." Scarlet Moon's concentration slipped, and the car slipped free while halfway up. The car smashed into the ground, tires bursting, the suspension shattering, and windows cracking. "You!"

Bright grinned. She flew into the air, and held up her palm. A bolt of glowing yellow light struck the top of the fire hydrant. A great torrent of water erupted into the air, soaking the car parked not so far away. Prometheus cackled. "Oh no, I'm so scared! Water all the way on the other side of the street! Whatever will I do?" Scarlet Moon wove a scarlet firehose around the water, and swung it around to point at Prometheus. "Oh," said Prometheus. <<statCheck $craftiness 's2ep1d2_prometheus_round_2_craftiness_success' 's2ep1d2_prometheus_round_2_craftiness_failure'>> <<decreaseStat "craftiness">>

Scarlet Moon aimed the hose perfectly, blasting Prometheus right in the fire cloud. Prometheus tried to fly away, but Scarlet Moon tracked her, coating those flames in cold water, the cloud of flames turning into steam. The flames weakened, and weakened, flickering away. "Stop!" cried Anklyana. "You're going to kill her!" "She's just faking it," said Bright. "I know, but what if you're wrong?" asked Anklyana. Bright looked at Anklyana, then shook her head and gave Scarlet Moon a conflicted look. "Yeah. What if I'm wrong." Scarlet Moon turned $her fire hose to the side. Immediately, Prometheus' flames erupted back to life, and she cackled. "Ahhh, so so incredibly pathetic. Just can't finish it, can you?" She threw jet of flame at Scarlet Moon, causing the $superheroine to dodge. But the shot went wide, and struck the fire hydrant instead, melting its top and sealing off the torrent of water in an explosion of steam. "Crap. She wasn't aiming for you," said Bright. Prometheus grinned. For all her bravado though, Prometheus was definitely looking fainter than they started.

Unfortunately, Scarlet Moon didn't quite get the angle of the hose right, and the bulk of the water shot off to Prometheus' right. Steam rose where the edges of it struck the flaming villain, and she yelped in pain, before dodging away. Scarlet Moon tried to track her with the scarlet firehose, but Prometheus managed to stay half a step ahead. Steam sizzled as gracing blow after gracing blow struck the flaming cloud, but Scarlet Moon wasn't able to land a solid blow. Finally, Prometheus threw a stream of fire at the fire hydrant, melting the top and sealing the water away. "Well it was a good--agh!" cried Bright as Prometheus suddenly raced across the roof, bathing the three, Scarlet Moon, Bright, and Anklyana in flames. Green bubbles flew up around the three, while Scarlet Moon grabbed Anklyana and threw $herself off the roof. Bright zoomed up into the sky. [["\"Great.

Several balls of fire retardant burst in the air around Prometheus, driving her back. Eclipse landed on top of a lightpost, her feet balanced on the narrow top, one hand on the lamppost, the other up behind her, and her big, chubby caramel bottom, bare except for her thong leotard, thrust into the air. "Ok. That kind of hurt." "Any bright ideas, fearless leader?" asked Bright, looking at Eclipse. <<link '"Hey! I thought I was the leader!"'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Hey! I thought I was the leader!" said Scarlet Moon. Bright rolled her eyes. A roll so exaggerated it was obvious even with her goggles on. Scarlet Moon pouted. Eclipse giggled. "Oh don't pout. Things are much too serious right now for that kind of adorablenss." Scarlet Moon's pout melted into an embarrassed scowl. "That's better." Suddenly gouts of flame flew at the $heroines, causing them to dodge and weave. "Stop with the banter and pay attention to me! The flaming goddess whose gonna kick your asses!" barked Prometheus. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"Yeah, what she said. Nothing else is really working."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "On the contrary," said Eclipse, her eyes narrowing. "We've hurt her. She's nowhere near as invulnerable as she thinks." "Tell me you have an idea," said Anklyana. She stood on a nearby roof, leaning against a rusted air conditioning unit. Suddenly, bolts of fire raced at the $heroines, forcing them to dodge and duck. Anklyana squeaked, and ducked behind the air conditioning unit. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Say nothing.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Several actually," said Eclipse with a smirk. "One of them might even work." Flames ripped through the air, scattering the $heroines. <</replace>> <</link>> "Scarlet Moon, take Anklyana and get into the building. Bright and I are going to lure Prometheus inside. Then we'll bring the whole damn thing down on her," said Eclipse. "And that won't kill her or something? Smother her?" asked Anklyana. "Highly unlikely. Far less so than dousing her with too much water, or encasing her in a bubble and smothering her. Now go!" Scarlet Moon grabbed Anklyana, and punched through the roof into the abandoned factory. Flames burst across the midday sky while Eclipse and Bright wove and dodged around the flaming supervillain. "So, umm, what do we do?" asked Anklyana, looking around. "I mean, I guess we should take out the support beams, or cross braces up top or something right?" [["Craftiness: \"Don't have time to take out all of them. Gotta find the right ones.\""|s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_3_craftiness]] [["Power: Just shoot everything. Everything."|s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_3_power]]

Scarlet Moon studied the cross beams and pillars for a moment, trying to decide which ones looked a combination of the most critical, and the easiest to knock down. <<statCheck $craftiness "s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_3_craftiness_success" "s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_3_craftiness_failure">> <<decreaseStat "craftiness">>

Six eyebeams struck four pillars and two crossbeams in rapid succession. The pillars shattered, the cross beam warped. And the whole building slowly began to collapse. Anklyana held up her hands, weaving a green shield over the roof to slow the collapse. "OK, Bright. Eclipse. Everything' ready." <<include s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_3_success>> [[Increase Power.|s2ep1d2_prometheus_final][$power to $power + 1]] [[Increase Charm.|s2ep1d2_prometheus_final][$charm to $charm + 1]]

Scarlet Moon grabbed Anklyana and zipped out of there. Eclipse and Bright burst through the roof, diving and rolling as jets of flames raced after them. Bright landed, staggered and almost fell. Eclipse wove and whipped around one of the shattered pillars. Prometheus burst into the abandoned factory a second later. "Stupid girls! You think an enclosed space will help you against a RAGING BONFIRE?" Eclipse and Bright shared a smirk, zipping through the front door. Anklyana released her shield, and the building collapsed, burying Prometheus in several tons of concrete, steel and dust. Things were silent for a few seconds, then flames licked out from under the debris, reforming into a humanoid shape. The shape flickered, looking more like a candle flame than a bonfire, but it held. "You all are in very serious trouble," said Prometheus, her voice slow and halting, as if speaking were difficult. For a moment, the flames flickered away, and she was a redheaded girl once again, before once more becoming consumed by fire. <<set $counter_s2ep1d1_prometheus to $counter_s2ep1d1_prometheus + 1>>

Scarlet Moon fired $her beam at several pillars and cross-braces that looked important. The supports shattered, twisted and melted, but while the building groaned, it still held. "Crap, try some different ones!" said Anklyana. <<include s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_3_failure>> <<increaseStat "power" "charm">>

Scarlet Moon looked around in a bit of a panic, and started firing beams at every pillar and cross beam $she saw. $She only had time to take down a few more, when Eclipse and Bright blasted through the roof, and slammed into the ground, smoke rising from their bodies. Anklyana yelped and ran over to help Eclipse. Scarlet Moon leapt over next to Bright. <<link '"Are you two alright?"'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Are you two alright?" asked Scarlet Moon as $she helped Bright stand. "Feel like barbecue," said Bright, groaning and rubbing her head. She scowled and smacked Scarlet Moon's <<fat>>, <<jiggly>> <<costume 'spandex-clad' 'bare'>> ass.

"Don't you idiots know when you've been licked?" [["\"I don't, actually. It's a serious problem.

Scarlet Moon's eyes flared, and $she unleashed a scarlet beam while whirling in a circle, bathing the whole factory in crimson power. <<statCheck $power "s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_3_power_success" "s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_3_power_failure">> <<decreaseStat "power">>

Columns shattered. Cross-braces melted. Heavy machinery broke apart, holes erupted in the walls, allowing sunlight into those dark, dusty confines. Anklyana squeaked and hastily threw up a green barrier over the roof. "Making my work a bit harder than necessary, Scarlet Moon!" <<link '"Sorry."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Sorry," said Scarlet Moon with a sheepish shrug. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"So spank me later.

Cross beams warmed, and holes were punched in support pillars, but somehow, miracously, the faded old factory managed to remain standing. "Stupid high quality architecture," grumbled Anklyana. <<include s2ep1d2_prometheus_round_3_failure>> <<increaseStat "craftiness" "charm">> <<set $counter_s2ep1d1_prometheus to $counter_s2ep1d1_prometheus - 1>>

"Come on," panted Eclipse. The gold edging of her costume flickered. "You can fall any time now." Anklyana leaned against a wall, while Bright swayed drunkenly in midair. <<link '"Oh, this is not good."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Oh, this is not good," said Scarlet Moon, nervously rubbing $her <<costume 'spandex-hugged' 'bare'>> buttocks.

"Look at the lot of you. Y'all can barely keep your feet. Look like you could be knocked with over by a warm. summer. Breeze!" Prometheus swirled and flung her fiery arms out. A blast of hot hair struck the quartet, scattering them like bowling pins. Scarlet Moon slammed against the wall of a building, and fell to $her hands and knees, Eclipse landing on top of $herm. Bright struck a lamppost, and started to fall. Anklyana hastily threw up a shield around the falling blonde to cushion her, but the effort drove the girl to her knees. Prometheus took a step forward, the shadow of a smile ghosting across her vague, fiery head. She hesitated a moment, and for a split second, the flames flickered away to reveal the a fully human figure. "You put up a good fight though, I'll give you that. But just not--" A tall woman stepped out of the shadow of a building and fired a small fire extinguisher, covering the villain in fire retardant powder. "Hey! What--" Prometheus' flames flickered out. They started to come back, but the woman stepped closer, dousing the villain once again. Prometheus staggered. "No! I can't...I'm a goddess. I can't be beaten by...a fire extinguish..." The villain collapsed. The woman fired the fire extinguisher one last time. She looked to be about the same age as Scarlet Moon, perhaps a few years older. She was quite tall, dressed in a dark blue skirt suit that extended to just above her knees, and black pumps. She wore a chauffeur's cap overtop short, well kept dark hair. <<link 'While remembering being carried around like a sack of potatoes: "Clemency! Hi, Clemency.

In a golden blur, she grabbed Anklyana and shot off into the sky. "Sorry, but I can't let her recognize me!" Phillipa watched the rapidly vanishing golden blur that was Bright shrink into the distance. She gave Eclipse and Scarlet Moon a smirk. "She can really move, can't she?" "Why did you take me with you?" asked Anklyana over their earpieces. "W-well, you know. I figured I'd save who I could," said Bright. "And how do you have enough Glow to fly like this?" asked Anklyana. "Uhh. I don't really...ahh!" "Ahhh!" There was the sound of thumping and bumping. "Oof," said Anklyana. "I oughta put you over my knee." "Better than getting it from Clemency." "...Fair." Phillipa studied Scarlet Moon and Eclipse. "So. Care to explain?" Scarlet Moon and Eclipse shared a look.

"Fine," muttered Eclipse. She gave Silver her most winning smile. "Well, you see--" <<if $keyword_clemency_spanked_scarlet_moon>> Phillipa's smile widened. "Well, Generalissima. Is that you?" Eclipse stammered a little bit. She was still kneeling, too tired from the fight to stand. "Umm, yeah, uhh. I'm Eclipse now." Phillipa clapped her hands together. "I love the new costume. It really works for you darling. Though I don't know how you stay contained during all the jumping and ducking." "Umm..." Eclipse glanced down at her low-cut leotard. "Uhh. Secret technology." "Yes, I'm sure that little leotard is just full of such things, isn't it? But that doesn't matter. You were explaining what happened?" <<else>> "Who are you?" asked Philippa. "Umm, I'm Eclipse.

Oh come now, anyone who looked closely could tell that Scarlet Moon was talking to somebody over a headset of some kind. Someone with Supreme intelligence, especially in engineering. I'm guessing $her partner got a little tired of being on the sidelines, and decided to make herself a supersuit. Yes?" "How--" "I'm very very good at what I do," said Philippa. "And one thing I've been doing, is watching the career of our illustrious Scarlet Moon quite closely. Now, I do believe you were about to tell me what. Just. Happened?" <</if>> Eclipse coughed, and threw an anxious look at Clemency. Clemency stood with her feet apart, her arms crossed across her chest, and a small smile on her lips. "Yes, well. It's simple really. We needed someplace abandoned where we could safely fight Prometheus. This seemed like the obvious spot." "I see," said Philippa curtly. "And you just assumed it would be abandoned?" "It's always been--" "Surely you knew I'd purchased it recently?" "Umm, n-no," stammered Eclipse. Philippa cocked an eyebrow. "Really? And here I thought a girl as intelligent as you would have ears all over the city." "W-well, I don't," said Eclipse. Scarlet Moon frowned. That didn't sound right.

You certainly would have known Clemency and I would have been here, and could have planned accordingly. But you didn't, and so your friend Scarlet Moon is getting $her bottom roasted.

Clemency grabbed Eclipse around her broad hips, and flipped the girl over her knee. Eclipse squirmed, her annoyance melting away, and replaced with a mix of fear and anxiety. Clemency flipped the curvy woman's cape over her head, bringing her big, soft, pillowy caramel buttocks bouncing into view. The thin spandex strip of her thong leotard vanished between those round, fat cheeks, doing nothing to shield them from Clemency's coming discipline. "This isn't fair," Eclipse kicked her feet, her plump cheeks rolling and jiggling. "We did the best we could!" Philippa scoffed. "Clemency, give her some extra for saying something so stupid." "Yes ma'am." Clemency brought her hand down hard on Eclipse's pillowy right cheek. Scarlet Moon couldn't help but wince as the harsh crack echoed through the business park. Eclipse squealed and kicked her feet as Clemency's hand rained down on her chubby bottom, the soft caramel flesh rippling and bouncing. Philippa knelt down at Eclipse's head. She flipped the girl's cape over her shoulders, and grabbed her chin. She looked sternly into Eclipse's eyes, while Clemency's hard palm made her plump cheeks dance. "You listen to me, little girl. I've been watching Scarlet Moon's moves very closely since $she burst onto the scene. It's been pretty clear that you've been in the shadows, whispering in $her ear. You've kept $her one step ahead of $her enemies, and even if they pulled ahead, you found $her the shortcut that let $herm catch up." Clemency picked up the pace, her large hand sinking deeply into Eclipse's upthrust bottom with each bum-wobbling smack. Eclipse wailed, and squirmed and kicked, her broad hips writhing on Clemency's lap. Clemency's grip was firm however, and her aim was sure. "I don't know why you've let two empty-headed fools like Prometheus and Poseidon run circles around you, but it ends now. You're lucky Clemency was here. You're lucky we were the only ones here. There could have been a demolition crew here. Your luck will run out someday. You cannot rely on it. Knowledge is power you silly little girl. Harness it. Expand it. Use it! Understand?" Eclipse nodded as best she could, her eyes filling with tears, her chin gripped firmly in Philippa's fingers, her raised bottom dancing and rippling under Clemency's hand. Philippa released Eclipse's chin and stood. She grabbed Eclipse's cape and flipped it back over the girl's head. "Very good. Clemency. Make sure she learns her lesson." Clemency nodded, and proceeded to give Eclipse an intense spanking. One stroke after another landed on Eclipse's wiggling, jiggling bare cheeks. Eclipse's feet scissor-kicked frantically. She howled and yelped and sobbed. Her bare skin darkened as Clemency's hand roamed all over her fat cheeks, each smack striking with force and precision. Scarlet Moon couldn't help but watch, $her gaze riveted to $her sister's bucking, jiggling, wiggling bottom, $her own hands clutching and rubbing $her own throbbing cheeks. Finally, Clemency stopped. She took a deep breath, massaged her hand, and helped Eclipse stand. Eclipse mewled and danced in place, her large, soft breasts bouncing in her low-cut leotard as her fingers massaged and rubbed her burning buttocks. <<if $keyword_s2ep1_throw_car or $keyword_s2ep1_drop_car>> "Very good."

Eclipse bound Prometheus' still form with slender ropes that glowed with a faint golden glow, and leapt into the air with the villain over her shoulder. A faint hum came from her costume, and the edging flickered a bit, before finally giving off a faint Glow, and allowing her to lift into the air. Scarlet Moon followed $herm. "That, umm, that sounded like it hurt," said Bright. "You two ok?" Eclipse said nothing. "Well, uhh. While you two were busy, you know. We tried to figure out what happened with Poseidon and Officer Chastain," said Bright. Eclipse said nothing. "It's not great," said Anklyana.

Prometheus let out a roar and charged at Scarlet Moon. Her flames washed over the $superheroine's scarlet shield, and then flickered away. A naked Prometheus stood where the humanoid cloud of flame had been. She stared at Scarlet Moon in utter bewilderment, and then fell to her knees with a groan. "No. How? How did you? I was... I was pure fire! A goddess! Unstoppable!" Scarlet Moon bound the villain with scarlet cords. Eclipse grabbed Prometheus by the hair and pulled the woman's head up. She glared down at the defeated villain, eyes flaring with dark gold light. "What did you do?" "I merged with the Ruby," said Prometheus in a dull voice. "Power! So much power! More power than anyone could dream of. Never again would I live in fear of Roots. Never again would I be defeated by a bunch of skanks like you! Never again would I be..." Prometheus sagged, muttering to herself. "Pathetic," said Bright. Anklyana smacked Bright hard on the ass. Bright squealed, and her hands went back to shield her pert, bouncing bottom. "What the hell?" "This is a human being," said Anklyana. "A human being who tried to turn us all into fried chicken," said Bright, glaring at Anklyana. Anklyana crossed her arms and returned the glare. "And she's been beaten. Show mercy." Bright scoffed. "You think if she'd won, she'd have done something as mild as call us pathetic?" "That's what makes us the good guys," said Anklyana. "Eclipse, let go of the girl's hair." Bright muttered sulkily to herself while rubbing her bottom. Eclipse released Prometheus' hair, looking a bit sheepish. "Sorry. Let my temper get away from me for a bit there." <<link 'Smack Eclipse\'s ass.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Scarlet Moon flicked up Eclipse's cape and brought $her hand down firmly on her sister's exposed, curvaceous caramel rear. Eclipse squealed and flew up into the air, her hands flying back to rub her wobbling, rippling cheeks. She glared at Scarlet Moon, who shrugged. "If Bright got one for calling Prometheus pathetic, seems only fair you get one for pulling her hair." "Yes, well. Meh." Eclipse stuck her tongue out at Scarlet Moon and Anklyana. "Who declared you two the ethics brigade?" "You did. When you convinced us to put on these ridiculous outfits in the first place," said Anklyana. "Yes. Well," said Eclipse, rubbing her plump rear. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Watch silently.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Scarlet Moon watched, saying and doing nothing. "Yeah, well if I should get my ass smacked for calling her names, then..." Bright zipped past Eclipse. Eclipse's cape blew up like a breeze had caught it. A sharp crack resounded through the abandoned business park, and the girl squealed as her exposed, rotund rear wobbled. "Oww!" Eclipse flew up into the air, rubbing and wiggling. "Bright! You jerk!" "Hey, don't blame me. This is all Anklyana's fault," said Bright, rubbing her own derriere. "I'm just making sure it's fair." Eclipse stuck her tongue out at Anklyana, who crossed her arms over her chest, and cocked a broad hip. "How we treat our enemies is what makes us the good guys." Eclipse and Bright grumbled to themselves, rubbing their rears. <</replace>> <</link>> Anklyana turned back to Prometheus. "Where is the Ruby now?" Prometheus spat, some of her old fire returning to her eyes. "Shoved it up your mom's fat ass." Anklyana's teeth clenched, and her eyes flared with a dangerous green light. Her hands clenched into fists. Bright wafted down behind Prometheus and leaned forward to whisper in her ear. "Good job pissing off the one person keeping us from blistering your bad girl booty." "Oh, I don't care if you spank her," said Anklyana. Her lips turned up in a menacing smile. "After all, that's what superheroes do to defeated supervillains." "Score!" Bright picked up a yelping Prometheus and bent the girl over a chunk of rubble, her pert, bare ass thrusting up into the air. Prometheus tried to push herself up, but Bright shoved her back down. "Uh-huh. You're not getting up until we've all given you a nice, rosy backside. And since I'm already over here holding you down, I'll go first." Bright's hand melted into a golden blur. A burst of staccato cracks echoed through the abandoned business park. Prometheus wailed and kicked. Her round little cheeks bounced and jiggled under Bright's golden hand, rapidly growing red. "Let me go! Oww! I'll get you for this!" wailed Prometheus. "You turned into a giant fire monster and tried to barbeque us," said Bright, her goggles flashing golden while her lips turned up in a smirk. Her hand flashed up and down, long-fingered palm making those raised cheeks dance. "No, no I don't think I'll be letting you go." "Jerk! Asshole! Oww!" wailed Prometheus. Bright tsked. "Some brats just refuse to learn their lesson." If anything, Bright went faster, the sharp smacks of her palm on Prometheus' wiggling, jiggling ass blurring together into one continuous sound. Prometheus wailed, bucking and flailing desperately under Bright's grip, her ass already red as a tomato. "Well." As quickly as she started, Bright stopped. Scarlet Moon suspected that Bright had in a manner of two minutes giving Prometheus the equivalent of a thirty-minute spanking. She smirked at the others. "Next." "Noo!" wailed Prometheus pathetically. "It hurts!" "Good." Eclipse stepped forward, and pulled out a thick leather strap. "Where do you keep all that stuff?" chimed in Anklyana. "You know how our costumes work? Same basic principle." Eclipse slapped the strap against her palm, while Prometheus looked at her over shoulder with wide eyes. "Bright, hold her down." "No! No! You're supposed to be the good guys!" wailed Prometheus. Eclipse took up position behind Prometheus and raised the strap above her head. "We are the good guys. And good guys give bad girls sound spankings." Eclipse brought the strap down across Prometheus' pert buttocks with a sharp snap. The villain's raised cheeks flattened under the flexible leather, before bouncing back into place. Prometheus howled, wiggling and kicking. "Oh God, that thing hurts worse than Bright's hand!" "Hey!" said Bright. "I spanked you like a thousand times in the space of two minutes! Maybe I should have another go around." "No! No! Please!" wailed Prometheus. "Bright," said Anklyana. "Fine. Fine," said Bright sulkily. She glared at Eclipse's strap. "Implements are cheating anyway." Eclipse brought her strap down across Prometheus' ass again, and again, and again. She raised it above her head before each blow, swiveling her hips and bringing it cracking across Prometheus' dark red buttocks. Prometheus wailed, tears rolling down her face. Her bare legs kicked wildly. And still, Eclipse's leather strap rained down on her raised bottom. Bright winced as she watched that strap descend. "Please promise you'll never use that thing on us." "Only if you promise not to become a supervillain." "Deal!" "I'll hold you to that," said Eclipse with a smirk. "I'm sure you would." Bright winced as a particularly sharp stroke across Prometheus' sitspots elicited a wail from the helpless villain. Eclipse's strap licked Prometheus' bucking, bouncing, squirming ass for a solid five minutes. the villain's howls dissolved into sobs and her kicking grew steadily less frantic, from fatigue if nothing else. "There," said Eclipse. She made the strap vanish behind her cape. "I'm satisfied. Next?" "I'm not interested," said Anklyana, holding up her hand. "You two punished her more than enough for me." "Scarlet Moon?" asked Eclipse with a mischievous smirk. [[Weave a scarlet paddle. "Thought you'd never ask."|s2ep1d1_prometheus_spanked_1]] [[Weave a scarlet paddle.

Scarlet Moon stepped up to Prometheus' raised bottom, and raised the paddle. "No! Not that stupid paddle!" cried Prometheus, squirming and kicking with renewed energy. "That thing sucks! No! Oww!" Scarlet Moon brought the paddle down on Prometheus' raised bottom with a zappy crack. The pert cheeks bounced under the paddle. Prometheus shook her head and wiggled her hips. Her toes curled and her feet kicked wildly. Scarlet Moon lashed Prometheus' kicking feet to the rubble with a scarlet cord, before resuming the paddling, $her scarlet implement bouncing between cheeks. Each stroke elicited a wail from the defeated villain, her upthrust rear flattening with each stroke of the paddle. Scarlet Moon paddles the helpless villain for a solid five minutes, $her paddle flashing with each stroke, the zappy crack echoing through the darkness, Prometheus' wails bouncing against the buildings. Prometheus sagged across the rubble, too tired to do anything more than wail as Scarlet Moon's paddle covered her ass in yet another layer of red welts. [["\"Right.

Eclipse bound the red-bottomed, sobbing villain with slender ropes erupting from her wrists. "Did you steal *all* of our powers?" asked Bright. "I don't have a sword," said Eclipse with a mischievous smile. "Yet. Besides, even if I have a 'Greatest Hits' collection, it's still not as flexible as your guys'.

Bright saw something behind Scarlet Moon. Her face turned red, she grabbed Anklyana and zoomed off into the sky. "Hey!" squawked Anklyana. "Sorry, I don't want to be recognized," said Bright. "Why did you grab me?" asked Anklyana. "I dunno, you were closest!" Powerful hands closed over Scarlet Moon's shoulders, and the next thing $she knew, $she was thrown over somebody's shoulder like a sack of grain, staring down the back of a tall woman in a skirted chaeuffer's uniform. A powerful, long-fingered hand cracked against $her <<costume 'spandex-straining' 'thong-swallowing'>> bottom, the <<soft>> flesh <<jiggling>> under the smack. <<link '"Oww!"'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Oww!"

"Clemency, put Scarlet Moon down!" "Now, why would she do that?" asked a smooth, mature voice. Philippa Silver stepped around the corner of an abandoned office building. She appeared to be a woman in her mid forties, though actually well into her fifties. Her white-blonde hair was pulled back in an elegant braid. She looked very much like her daughter, Alexandra (Bright), but refined, her beauty given a more mature look by the hint of crows feet near her eyes, and an expression of supreme confidence. "Scarlet Moon totaled my car." "Err, yes, well," said Eclipse. "It was in service of stopping Prometheus." <<if $keyword_s2ep1_drop_car>> "Oh yes. Surely you never would have stopped her if Scarlet Moon hadn't picked up my car, and then dropped it back on the pavement from three stories up," said Philippa in a dry voice. "I'm sure it distracted Prometheus at a critical moment." <<else>> "That will not help me get home," said Philippa. "Nor did she have any right to steal my property and use it as a weapon." <</if>> "Yes, well we saved your ungrateful butts, so you should just let it slide!" said Eclipse. "The only reason our butts needed saving was because you lured Prometheus here," said Philippa. "We thought it was abandoned!" "It was not. Something I would expect Generalissima, sorry, I guess you're Eclipse now, to know. It was not exactly hidden that I would be here." "Yes, well, uhh..." "So, shall we continue this argument with you over my lap, or will you allow my dear chaeuffer to teach your friend not to break things that don't belong to $herm?" "Umm, I mean, uhh, s-she makes some pretty good points Scarlet Moon..." "Very good. Clemency. Continue." [["\"No!

Her hand whipped back up, and came back down on Scarlet Moon's left cheek to similar bum-rippling effect. Back and forth between dancing cheeks went Clemency's hand. Then she unleashed a burst of a dozen hard, sharp strokes to Scarlet Moon's <<bodytype 'pert' 'pillowy' 'pillowy'>> right cheek, then a dozen sharp strokes to $her <<bodytype 'pert' 'pillowy' 'pillowy'>> left cheek.

Finally, with one last pair of extra hard smacks, one to each cheek, she pushed Scarlet Moon off and stood. She loomed over the chastised $superheroine. She smirked down at Scarlet Moon, who lay on the ground rubbing $her rear. "Lesson learned?" Scarlet Moon nodded. "Very good." Clemency turned on her heel and went to join Philippa. "Ma'am, I think our business here is concluded. I'll get on the phone, see if we can get another car brought here." "Very good. Good luck with Poseidon my dears," said Philippa as she followed Clemency away. "Try not to inflict *too* much collateral damage." Eclipse helped Scarlet Moon stand, and gave her sister a sheepish smile. "Umm, that was--" "I told you," interjected Bright over Scarlet Moon's earpiece. "I told you grabbing her car was a bad idea." <<link '"Yeah, well I appreciate you sticking around for the fallout."'>> <<replace '#comment5'>> "Yeah, well I appreciate you sticking around for the fallout," said Scarlet Moon dryly.

"Erm, well," stammered Bright. "She does work as mother's enforcer these days..." Anklyana giggled. "N-not funny!" said Bright. "Like your Dad's never belted your butt!" "Not until recently," said Anklyana sardonically. "This whole superheroing thing has gotten me in trouble once or twice.

"You did the right thing," interjected Eclipse. "Best we keep you far away from her." "And you know, I took Anklyana, because I didn't want us to just abandon her if you two ran away too," said Bright. "I'm touched," said Anklyana. "No, really. It's nice not being forgotten." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Shrug.'>> <<replace '#comment5'>> Scarlet Moon shrugged. "Is $she shrugging?" asked Bright after a moment. "$She's shrugging isn't she?

"Oww! What was that for?" "That pun was terrible and you should be ashamed of yourself," said Anklyana. "Next time I'm leaving you with my mother," grumbled Bright. Another smack. "Oww!" There was a giggle, followed by a smack, and it was Anklyana's turn to yelp. "Hey! No fair flying out of reach!" <</replace>> <</link>> "Let's get this one to the police," said Eclipse.

"Very impressive," said a smooth voice. Philippa Silver stepped around the corner of an abandoned office building. She appeared to be a woman in her mid forties, though actually well into her fifties. Her white-blonde hair was pulled back in an elegant braid. She looked very much like her daughter, Alexandra (Bright), but refined, her beauty given a more mature look by the hint of crows feet near her eyes, and an expression of supreme confidence. Clemency, her chauffeur, a tall fit woman in a skirt suit and chauffeur's cap, followed right behind. "Though I would have appreciated not having quite the front row seat." Bright squeaked. In a blur of gold, she grabbed Anklyana and zipped into the sky. "Sorry, can't let her see me!" "Why did you take me with you?" yelped Anklyana. "I dunno. I panicked! And when I panic, I grab the tank." "Not unreasonable." Philippa watched Bright and Anklyana vanish with a small smirk. "Young ones always in a rush." "They're going to help Officer Chastain against Poseidon," said Eclipse. "While we bring Prometheus to the police." "Oh? Well, surely, Generalissima, you know that Poseidon spanked her sister but good, and has taken her somewhere," said Philippa. "It's Eclipse now," said Eclipse tensely. "I liked Generalissima better," said Philippa. "It suited you. Really girl, I'd expect you of all people to know that I wrapped up a purchase of this property this morning, and was coming to look it over this afternoon." "It slipped my notice I suppose," said Eclipse. "An unusual mistake from you." Philippa took in the ruined area, and Prometheus' groaning form. "Still, Clemency and I are unharmed, you managed to defeat a woman souped up on more Glow than I'd ever seen, *and* saved me at least ten thousand dollars in demolition costs. Pretty impressive." Eclipse smiled, and her eyes flashed with a happy golden light. "Thank you ma'am!" "Hmm. Well Clemency and I are going to continue our little tour. I'd like to finish it before the police arrive and bombard us with questions. You two might want to get Prometheus taken care of. You Supremes have a rather impressive habit of rapidly recovering." Eclipse nodded, and lifted into the air. "Yes, we should. Scarlet Moon, grab Prometheus would you?" Scarlet Moon threw Prometheus over $her shoulder and zipped into the air after Eclipse. [["\"One down, one to go.\""|s2ep1d1_prometheus_police]] [["\"I can think of worse things than having the CEO of Silver Ants Industries on our side.\""|s2ep1d1_prometheus_police]] [["Say nothing."|s2ep1d1_prometheus_police]]

<<if $keyword_s1ep1_eclipse_scolded_by_philippa>> Eclipse said nothing. <</if>> Eclipse and Scarlet Moon landed on the roof across from the police station. "Well, would you look at that," said a voice. Maria, the SPANK agent. She stood on the far side of the roof, alongside her taller, brunette partner Diana. "You actually took down Prometheus." "Impressive," said Diana. She stepped forward and grinned. "*Very* impressive. Even supercharged by that ruby, you managed to beat her." Eclipse dumped Prometheus' unconscious body at their feet. "Try to hang onto her this time." Diana crouched and studied Prometheus for a moment. Then she pulled out a black collar and snapped it over her neck. She untied Prometheus' bindings and tossed them back to Eclipse. "We won't be needing those anymore. This collar will keep her weak as a kitten." Eclipse's eyes flared, and the faintest of whirring could be heard from her mask. "That thing keeps her from accumulating ambiant Glow." Diana nodded. "Yup. Pretty useless against a Supreme at full power. But after they're defeated? This keeps them down." Eclipse gave Scarlet Moon a look. Similar to the collars used by Roots to capture them a few months ago. <<link '"Why didn\'t you use one against us last night?"'>> <<replace '#comment2'>> "Why didn\'t you use one against us last night?" asked Scarlet Moon warily. Diana shrugged. "By the time we got there, you'd all already accumulated enough Glow that it wouldn't have helped much. The bolas absorb Glow, rather than block it. Unfortunately, they couldn't absorb enough to make the collars worth it." "Yes," said Eclipse flatly. "Unfortunately." "But Prometheus here is *deep* in the hole," said Diana. "Guess that ruby had a downside." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"You even consider putting one of those on any of my friends, and I will find your secret base, and rip it apart."'>> <<replace '#comment2'>> "You even consider putting one of those on any of my friends, and I will find your secret base, and rip it apart," said Scarlet Moon, $her eyes flaring red. "No doubt," said Diana. For a moment, Scarlet Moon thought $she was being mocked. But Diana's voice was steady, and her expression serious. She seemed to mean it. "And what would you do if we collared you?" asked Maria. Scarlet Moon's eyes narrowed. "You do not want to see Bright or Anklyana angry." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Say nothing.'>> <<replace '#comment2'>> Scarlet Moon said nothing, just watched the pair warily. <</replace>> <</link>> "Do you have any idea where Poseidon might have gone?" asked Eclipse. "Yes. She ran off with her older sister," said Diana. "Now, last night as the two ran off with the ruby, we tried to find it with some Glow sensors. Unfortunately, our ability to detect Glow over large distances is way crude. It could find the crystal when filled with Glow, but that's about it." "So surely you found it when Prometheus did whatever she did," said Eclipse. "Nope," said Diana with a smile. <<link '"Oh come on! Is there anything you people are good for, besides ambushing beaten $superheroines?"'>> <<replace '#comment22'>> "Oh come on!

"Which means the Ruby was taken somewhere our sensors couldn't penetrate. So, while you all were fighting Prometheus, we did some analysis." Diana pulled out a map of Generica with a few spots circled. She handed it to Eclipse, who studied it with narrowed eyes. "We found three spots that we think have thick enough walls, or enough dirt, to block our sensors." "And only one of them is close to the river," said Eclipse. Diana grinned. "Yup. An old, decomissioned dam on the north side of the city. A fancier one was built a few miles upriver a few decades ago, and so this one's been left open and unused. But if you shoved the crystal into the bottom of the complex, all the water, steel and concrete would probably block enough Glow to evade our sensors." "Come on, Scarlet Moon." Eclipse leapt into the air, Scarlet Moon right behind. <<if $keyword_s1ep1_eclipse_scolded_by_philippa>> [["\"Eclipse, about Philippa...\""|s2ep1d2_post_prometheus_philippa_talk][$chosen to 1]] [["\"Seems like the sort of thing you'd have figured out by yourself a few months ago.\""|s2ep1d2_post_prometheus_philippa_talk][$chosen to 2]] [[Say nothing.|s2ep1d2_post_prometheus_philippa_talk][$chosen to 3]] <<else>> [["\"Alright.

Eclipse landed on a nearby roof. She still didn't say anything. She looked out across the city, one hand underneath her cape, rubbing her bottom. The other wiped tears from her eyes. Scarlet Moon landed behind her. <<if $chosen == 1>> "She was right," said Eclipse. She shook her head, and gripped her hair. "She was right, and I don't know what to do." <<elseif $chosen == 2>> "I know," said Eclipse quietly. <<else>> "I know the look you're giving me," said Eclipse, a bit of a bitter laugh in her voice.

She stepped to the edge of the roof, and looked out over the city. "And everything is on computers. It was intoxicating. The city was a puppet, and I the puppeteer." She shivered and hugged her arms. "Then we got captured by Roots. I crouched under her desk, naked and helpless, my ass burning. I watched her make the city dance. Set up the blackmail to expose Bernice as Tempestas if she interfered. Manipulate media narratives to prop up Bright. Saw the gleam in her eye. My gleam." "When we beat Roots, I was going to take control of her information network," said Eclipse, her voice distant. "A cockroach wouldn't get caught in a trap without me knowing. Every secret laid bare. The villains of the city at my mercy. Everyone protected. Everyone watched." Eclipse started to sob. "I couldn't do it. I couldn't, I couldn't be //her//. I destroyed it. Every virus, every packet sniffer. Deleted it. Purged it. Wiped my hard drive. I couldn't be Generalissima anymore." Eclipse crouched down and ran her hands through her hair, tugging at the long, locks. "And it was a mistake! We got blindsided by Prometheus and Poseidon last night. I wasn't prepared for Prometheus' newfound power.

Eclipse scoffed, and smacked Scarlet Moon's. The two siblings giggled. "I do think I might have gone too far though," said Eclipse. "Hacking into private networks and the like was too much, but I think setting up some web crawlers to scrape down public information should be fine. It'd give us a lot of useful information without going full Big Brother." <<modifyEclipseOverSuccessor 1>> [["\"So my OnlyFans account is safe? Phew!

"I suppose," said Eclipse. "I dunno, maybe you're right. Look, how about I set up some crawlers to get public information? Nothing private, no hacking into private networks or anything.

Scarlet Moon and Eclipse landed on the roof of the library, where Anklyana and Bright waited. "Hey! Umm, sorry about running away like that--" began Bright sheepishly. Eclipse held up a hand. "You did the right thing. If anyone's going to recognize you up close, it's your mother." <<link '"Don\'t know why you took Anklyana along, though!"'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Don\'t know why you took Anklyana along, though!" said Scarlet Moon, putting $her hands on $her hips and giving Anklyana the stink eye.

"Everyone's favorite federal spooks gave us a lead on where Poseidon might be." Bright crossed her arms and cocked a barely-clad hip. "Urg. Owing those two makes me nauseous." "Hey now, they're just trying to protect the country," said Anklyana. "They don't have to be so smug about it." "I mean, they are highly trained professionals forced to work with amateurs in stripperiffic Halloween costumes," said Anklyana. "Pff! Like their skintight leather is any more modest," said Bright. "Focus you two," said Eclipse, holding up her hand ominously. The two girls snapped their mouths shut and stood up straight. "Right. So here's the plan..." Ten minutes later, Bright and Eclipse zipped towards the abandoned dam, Anklyana clinging to Bright's shoulders, and Scarlet Moon held up by Eclipse's hands under $her armpits. "This is a terrible idea!" said Bright. "Hey, whose the one with superhuman intelligence?" asked Eclipse, sounding more amused than anything. "Let me fight! I can fight," said Bright. "That's what I'm best at!" "You are a far faster and better flyer than I could ever hope to be," said Eclipse. "If anyone can get Anklyana through twisting, narrow corridors to find the Ruby it's you. Now stop whining, or we'll be going in with two scarlet moons!" "Smug, obnoxious, tyrannical queen bee bi--" "Umm, Bright?" asked Anklyana. "What!" "We can hear you." "Oh." "Anyway, and we're sure smashing a hole in this thing won't cause a massive flood?" asked Anklyana. "Of course not," said Eclipse. "This thing's been decomissioned and wide open for decades. It's not holding anything back." "Ok. Ok. That's good," said Anklyana. "Ok. Go time $girls." Eclipse's cape folded back almost like wings, and she plummetted towards the dam. Bright peeled off, swinging a wide arc around to the north side. <<link '"Tell me again how you convinced me to be your wrecking ball?"'>> <<replace '#comment11'>> "Tell me again how you convinced me to be your wrecking ball?" said Scarlet Moon as Eclipse dove towards the dam.

"But--" "If $she changes $her name to Scarlet Justice, I swear to God I will spank *both* of you every time I hear it." "Fine." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Say nothing.'>> <<replace '#comment11'>> Scarlet Moon's eyes began to glow. The crimson light spread across $her body, wrapping $her in a powerful barrier. <</replace>> <</link>> Eclipse's cape snapped out right before they would have crashed into the dam. The wind caught it, and she wrenched up. She released Scarlet Moon at the apex of her arc. Scarlet Moon curled into a ball and slammed into the outer wall in a cloud of concrete and dust. $She burst out into a large, open hallway between concrete walls, giant steel turbines lining the ground. $She lashed a cord to the roof, arrested $her movement, and flipped onto the turbine. [["\"Ohh Poseidon! Come out and play!\""|s2ep1d2_poseidon_dam]] [["\"Poseidon! I know you're here. Come out and face me!\""|s2ep1d2_poseidon_dam]] [[Look around warily.|s2ep1d2_poseidon_dam]]

A great roar filled the interior. A tidal wave erupted around a distant corner, and raced towards Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon leapt into the air, only to get engulfed by the wall of water and carried down the hallway. $She slammed into the far wall, spiderweb cracks tracing across the concrete. $She lashed a cord to the ceiling and zipped up above the water line, gasping and sputtering. Poseidon rode in on the crest of a wave, her hand on a mostly bare hip. She rolled her eyes. "Of course Prometheus couldn't handle you. Honestly, I don't know what else I expected." "Where's Officer Chastain?" Eclipse zoomed in through the hole Scarlet Moon had created, her cape fluttering behind her and her eyes glowing with a fierce golden light. "She's in timeout," said Poseidon with a smirk. "Where's Bright and Anklyana?" "On their way here," said Eclipse. "So you better give up." Poseidon guffawed. "So you didn't actually know I was here did you? How many abandoned warehouses have you burst into and shouted 'Come at me bro!' before finally finding me?" <<link '"Erm.

"Let's get this over with. Sounds like I'll have company in a few minutes." The water underneath Poseidon coiled, and flung two battering rams at Scarlet Moon and Eclipse. <<set $counter_s2ep1_dam_poseidon_fight to 0>> [[Power: Punch through the battering ram with a scarlet beam.|s2ep1d2_poseidon_dam_round_1_power]] [[Craftiness: Lure the watery battering ram into striking Poseidon.|s2ep1d2_poseidon_dam_round_1_craftiness]]

Scarlet Moon braced $herself against the walll, and fired a scarlet beam at Poseidon's battering ram. <<statCheck $power "s2ep1d2_poseidon_dam_round_1_power_success" "s2ep1d2_poseidon_dam_round_1_power_failure">> <<decreaseStat "power">>

Scarlet Moon's beam punctured the battering ram of water, and struck Poseidon in the chest, sending her tumbling into the water with a cry. The water battering ramp collapsed, coating Scarlet Moon in a spray of icy water, but nothing else. Eclipse skimmed along the surface of the water like a hunting bird of prey. As soon as Poseidon's head burst out of the water, Eclipse grabbed her by the hair, and flung her through a concrete wall. The waters roiled. Geysers erupted. Scarlet Moon leapt into the air, swinging and twisting to avoid the gouts of water, while Eclipse swerved. Poseidon burst back into sight, an icy shell covering her body and glittering like crystal. She leapt on an arcing wave and rode it after Scarlet Moon. Scarlet Moon flipped over Poseidon's speeding head, striking the woman in the back with a scarlet beam. Ice flew everywhere, as Poseidon whirled around. A water tentacle erupted from the water and struck Scarlet Moon, sending $herm flying into Poseidon's arms. Poseidon caught the $superheroine and wrapped $herm in a bear hug. Poseidon's head lashed forward, striking Scarlet Moon in the nose. Scarlet Moon fired a scarlet beam point blank into Poseidon's face. Scarlet energy flew everywhere as some of the beam refracted off of Poseidon's icy armor, burning thin lines of molten concrete in the walls. But the bulk shattered Poseidon's armor, and sent the two flying under the water.

Scarlet Moon's scarlet beam struck the liquid battering ram. Steam rose where the two collided, and for a moment they swayed back and forth. The ram chasing Eclipse suddenly turned, and slammed into Scarlet Moon's side. The hero skidded along the wall, gasping and groaning. A great hand of water erupted from the roiling flood, grabbed $herm, and pulled $herm underwater. Scarlet Moon struggled and twisted, but the very water itself seemed to be holding $herm. There was a flash of gold above $herm, and suddenly the grip loosened. Poseidon and Eclipse plunged into the water, Eclipse holding Poseidon by the shoulders and ramming her knee into the villain's belly. Poseidon flung her off, and held out a hand. The water swirled, and Eclipse suddenly rocketed out of the water, as if shoved by some invisible giant. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to Poseidon's back and zipped onto her from behind, wrapping her arms around Poseidon's neck, and $her legs around the villain's bare torso.

Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the ceiling, and leapt off the wall. $She zipped up into the air, swinging and zipping about the dam, the battering ram right behind $herm. $She met Eclipse's eyes for a moment. Eclipse flew off in the opposite direction. The two raced in circles around Poseidon, ducking and weaving to stay ahead of the battering rams. Poseidon swirled in circles, trying to keep both of them in sight at all times. Scarlet Moon waited until Poseidon was watching Eclipse, then leapt at the villainess. <<statCheck $craftiness "s2ep1d2_poseidon_dam_round_1_craftiness_success" "s2ep1d2_poseidon_dam_round_1_craftiness_failure">> <<decreaseStat "craftiness">>

Poseidon whirled, just in time for Scarlet Moon to grab her shoulders and flip over her. Poseidon's own battering ram slammed into her, driving her into the water. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the ceiling and started to zip away, when a water tentacle grabbed $herm, and dragged $herm underwater with the villain. Scarlet Moon whirled and struck Poseidon in the gut with a scarlet beam. Water swirled around Scarlet Moon, and flung $herm into Poseidon's arms. Poseidon wrapped her arms around Scarlet Moon, locking the $superheroine's arms to $her side. The water pressed on Scarlet Moon, constricting $her as completely as a thick steel chain. Scarlet Moon's eyes glowed red. $She flicked on wrist, and a scarlet saber erupted from $her hand, penetrating Poseidon's belly. Poseidon shrieked, and released the $superheroine. The water pressure eased. Scarlet Moon slashed out with $her saber, driving Poseidon back. $She lashed a cord to Poseidon's chest, and zipped back into the villain's face, slashing and stabbing. Ice crystallized around the villain. She blocked the saber with an ice-encrusted fist, and lashed out at Scarlet Moon with the other, punching $herm hard enough to send $her crashing into a turbine. Scarlet Moon ripped a turbine blade free and flung it at Poseidon, the sharp steel slicing through the water. Poseidon batted it aside with the current, then went flying backwards as a scarlet beam blasted icy chunks off her armor. Scarlet Moon lashed a scarlet cord to Poseidon's chest and zipped them back together.

Poseidon whirled and grabbed Scarlet Moon's wrist, stopping the $superheroine dead. She smirked and punched Scarlet Moon in the chest. Scarlet Moon flew backwards, slamming into the water battering ram. The ram morphed into a great hand, wrapped itself around the dazed $superheroine and dragged $herm underwater. Scarlet Moon twisted and kicked as $she sank under the water. The water pressed on $herm, squeezing $herm, constraining $herm. Golden light flared above the surface of the water, and Eclipse and Poseidon slammed into the water, punching and wrestling. The pressure on Scarlet Moon eased. Poseidon flung Eclipse off of her, and flicked a wrist. Water swirled, and Eclipse flew out of the water like she'd been shoved by a great, invisible giant. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to Poseidon's back and zipped at her. Poseidon turned just in time to take a fist to the gut. Poseidon snarled, her skin beginning to sparkle as ice coated it. She punched Scarlet Moon in the chest, then grabbed $herm by the hair and slammed $herm through a turbine.

Scarlet Moon and Poseidon twisted and turned, fists and knees flying, scarlet beams blazing, ice rams hammering. Scarlet cords lashed, while icy tentacles bound. "We have Chastain." Bright's voice buzzed in Scarlet Moon's ear, though it sounded strangely heavy. "Left to stand ankle deep in a puddle." "Hope it's not like a spider's web--" began Anklyana. Poseidon suddenly rocketed up towards the surface. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to Poseidon's back and got dragged up with her. "You!" she snarled as she erupted back into the air. She glared at Eclipse, who hovered near the ceiling. "You tricked me!" "Yup." Eclipse flung several small pebbles at Poseidon. The pebbles exploded in a sparkling, dazzling display. "Really Poseidon, your hiding place couldn't have been more obvious if you put up a neon sign." Poseidon swished backwards, shutting her eyes with a cry. She snarled and flung a block of ice at Eclipse, who easily dodged it. She raced off deeper into the dam, dragging Scarlet Moon along with her. "She's coming. Bright, get out of there," said Eclipse as she flew after the supervillain. Scarlet Moon wove $her glow into a pair of water skis, skidding along the surface of the water as Poseidon raced down the narrow corridors on the crest of a tidal wave. $She swerved and bobbed as Poseidon turned down tight turns, skipping and bouncing off the walls. $Her scarlet cord flexed and twisted, but held steady. "I'm trying," panted Bright. "But I'm moving slow. Every since we went into the room with the Crystal. Feel like I fought Buzzsaw all by myself." "Bernice hasn't regained any of her Glow either," said Anklyana. "She's still weak and woozy." <<link '"She\'s not wearing a collar?"'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "She\'s not wearing a collar?" asked Scarlet Moon through gritted teeth.

Prometheus drained it when she supercharged herself with it, and now it's trying to recharge, just like we do." "And it takes a while for more ambient Glow to go in there," said Anklyana. "Thanks to the dam and dirt. So when we came in--" "The crystal drained you two," said Eclipse. "And kept Bernice from recovering." "Well, I can hear you all coming," panted Bright. "You two gotta do something. Quick!"

Poseidon glared over her shoulder at Scarlet Moon. "What are you talking about?" "I mean, Bernice was basically my sidekick when we kicked your ass the last time," said Scarlet Moon with a smug smirk. "She was still getting a handle on her powers.

Poseidon's eyes narrowed. She whirled around and grabbed the scarlet cord attached to her back. "I guess I can finish kicking your ass first!" Scarlet Moon zipped towards Poseidon and punched her in the face. Poseidon reeled, before grabbing Scarlet Moon and slamming $herm through the wall. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the edge of the hole, and zipped back through, Glow shaping into a spring. She punched Poseidon with the spring, flinging Poseidon up through the ceiling. $She lashed a pair of cords to the edges of the hole in the roof and slingshotted after the villain. $She erupted onto the next floor, twisting to evade an eruption of water from below $herm. $She wove $her glow into a scarlet saber and sliced it through Poseidon's belly. Poseidon snarled, and uppercutted Scarlet Moon with an icy fist. Eclipse burst onto the scene and chucked a red marble at Poseidon. The marble burst. A wave of heat swept through the room, and Poseidon stumbled as steam rose from her skin, evaporating her icy armor. Eclipse flew at Poseidon, tackling her and slamming her into the wall. Poseidon raised her fists to pound on Eclipse, but Eclipse pivoted around the villain, and kicked her in the back. Poseidon flew into Scarlet Moon's arms, who slammed Poseidon into the floor and stabbed her with her scarlet saber. Poseidon's eyes flared with light, and she held her hands up. Water burst through the floor, swamping the three combatants. As Eclipse and Scarlet Moon twisted in the swirling currents, Poseidon dove down, and then sped down the hallway. Scarlet Moon clung to the wall, gasping and choking as the water drained away. <<link '"So much for kicking my ass."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "So much for kicking my ass," $she gasped. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"Bought you some time, but she\'s on her way again."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Bought you some time, but she\'s on her way again," said Scarlet Moon into $her earpiece. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Say nothing.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Scarlet Moon grimaced and sucked in a few deep breaths. <</replace>> <</link>> "Come on," said Eclipse.

Poseidon looked over her shoulder and smirked. "That's a good point. But you're just a <<female 'tramp' 'doofus'>> in <<costume 'tight spandex.' 'a thong.'>> Bernice is my sister. It's more personal." Poseidon whirled around, and her eyes flared. "But I'd hate to make you feel left out!" She raised her arms. A great crocodile made of ice erupted from the water and clamped on Scarlet Moon's waist, dragging the $superheroine underwater. The crocodile lashed its head back and forth, whipping Scarlet Moon through the air, slamming $her repeatedly against the walls and ground. Scarlet Moon grabbed hold of the crocidle's jaws, pulling them open just enough for $her to throw $herself free. $She rocketed through the water, lashed a cord to the wall, and zipped sideways to evade the crocodile's snapping jaws. The crocodile's tail lashed out, striking Scarlet Moon in the side, and smashing $herm against the wall. The crocodile coiled, and bolted at Scarlet Moon like a torpedo. Scarlet Moon wove $her Glow into a blazing saber. The crocodile swam towards $herm, jaws snapping. Scarlet Moon ducked and swung $her saber over $her head, slicing the crocodile in two. $She lashed a cord to the roof and zipped back into the air. $She swung through the hallway, sometimes running along the walls to build momentum, or rocket around corners.

Poseidon suddenly jerked sidweays, smashing into the wall. Scarlet Moon retracted the cord attached to Poseidon, and slammed into the villain. Scarlet Moon grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head into the wall. Pieces of ice went flying. Poseidon snarled. She elbowed Scarlet Moon in the gut, right as a great wave erupted out of the water and slammed into both of them, driving them underwater. Scarlet Moon held tight to Poseidon, maneuvering on top of the villain. $Her eyes flared with angry red light, and a scarlet beam slammed into Poseidon, driving her into the ground. Poseidon held up her hands. A great force slammed into Scarlet Moon, driving the $heroine out of the water. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the wall and zipped sideways before the hammer of water could slam her into the ceiling. $She lashed a cord to Poseidon and pulled her into $her grip. Poseidon headbutted Scarlet Moon in the face. Scarlet Moon twisted, and slammed the villain through the roof. $She lashed a cord to Poseidon's back, and whirled, whipping the villain back through the roof and smashing her through a wall like a flail. Poseidon grabbed Scarlet Moon's cord and pulled. Eclipse appeared, wove through the hole in the wall, and swept Poseidon's feet out from under her. As Poseidon fell, Scarlet Moon retracted $her cord, pulling Poseidon towards the ceiling. $She ducked sideways, and Poseidon slammed into the roof. The villain clung to an exposed pipe, slightly dazed. Scarlet Moon wove $her Glow into a saber, but then Poseidon raised her fist. The pipe burst, blasting Scarlet Moon in the face. At the same time, a great wave crested, burying Scarlet Moon and smashing $her against the wall. The water churned, tossing Scarlet Moon to and fro like a rag doll. Black and gold gauntlets burst into the water, and pulled $herm free. Eclipse flew down the corridor after Poseidon's rapidly shrinking form, while the water churned and raged beneath them. She threw Scarlet Moon into the air. "Come on! We have to catch back up!" Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the ceiling and swung after the villain at top speed.

Poseidon suddenly twisted, twisting the cord around her, and forcing Scarlet Moon's arms to stretch out painfully. Scarlet Moon released the cord attached to the wall, but then a great tidal wave erupted behind $herm, and drove $her into the water. Scarlet Moon's head burst above water, only for a tidal wave to rear in front of $herm and bury $herm again. The water churned and raged, tossing Scarlet Moon about like a ragdoll, slamming $her against the walls, the floor, and completely throwing off $her sense of direction. A scarlet light flared to $her left, then right, then above, then below. Scarlet Moon half-blindly fired a cord at the light. Something grabbed $her cord and pulled. Scarlet Moon erupted from the water, gasping and sputtering. Eclipse hovered above $herm, holding the cord, $her costume emitting a bright scarlet light. Scarlet Moon zipped to the wall and clung to it, gasping and coughing. "Are you ok?" asked Eclipse. Scarlet Moon swung back into the corridor, speeding after Poseidon.

Scarlet Moon and Eclipse turned a corner. Through an open door down a side corridor they could see a faint red glow. "The Ruby," said Eclipse, peeling off. "I'm going to scan and secure it. You stop Poseidon!" <<link '"Just don\'t use it. You\'d like turn into a giant brain or something."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Just don\'t use it.

The room now glowed with a bright red glow. Poseidon erupted from the water underneath $herm, and uppercutted Scarlet Moon into the ceiling. "Embarrassing really. I'm outnumbered five to one, and yet somehow, it's down to just you and me, Scarlet Moon." Scarlet Moon clung to the ceiling. $Her eyes flared. <<link '"What, you\'re not gonna try to use the Ruby?"'>> <<replace '#comment22'>> "What, you're not gonna try to use the Ruby?" asked Scarlet Moon.

Poseidon threw up a wall of water that swallowed the beam, then erupted through it and punched Scarlet Moon in the gut. Scarlet Moon hunched, and slammed sideways into the wall. $She lashed a cord to the right, and zipped sideways, narrowly avoiding another punch. $She swirled $her Glow into a staff and jabbed it at Poseidon, catching the villain in the gut, sending the villain plunging into the water. Scarlet Moon ran along the wall, and leapt across right as a tidal wave slammed into the wall where $she'd stood a moment before. The water swirled into a funnel and caught Scarlet Moon, sending $herm whirling around and around, slamming into walls. Poseidon erupted from the water funnel and grabbed Scarlet Moon by the collar, one icy fist raised. "When Prometheus drew on the Ruby, she became a creature of pure fire. And she darn near lost herself too. What do you think will happen to you, when you're broken, beaten, barely conscious and forced to align your Glow with the Crystal?"

The blast shattered Poseidon's icy armor and sent her flying backwards, smashing through several walls. Scarlet Moon swung after Poseidon, but got caught and slammed by a tidal wave. Poseidon leapt back into the hallway, eyes glowing blue.

Poseidon clamped her hand over Scarlet Moon's eyes. Scarlet Moon's beam built up, built up, and then erupted. Scarlet Moon flew backwards through the wall, while Poseidon got thrown into the water. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the ceiling and hung there, dazed. A great watery tentacle grabbed $herm and dragged $herm under, right into Poseidon's icy fist. Scarlet Moon reeled under the blow, twisting and gasping as icy fists and feet lashed out at $herm. Finally, $she managed to block one of Poseidon's fists, catch her foot, and fling her into the ground. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the ceiling above and zipped up out of the water. $Her eyes narrowed as $she scanned the churning waters, looking for Poseidon.

Scarlet Moon blasted Poseidon at point blank range, then swirled $her Glow into a spring around $her fist. $She gave Poseidon a sprint-loaded punch that sent the villain back into the water.

Scarlet Moon lashed a scarlet cord to the villain, and one to the ceiling, and zipped them both up. $She grabbed the villain by the hair, and punched her in the gut.

Eclipse lay on the ground in a shallow pool of water, holding her head. "What are you--Get away from there!" cried Poseidon, racing after Scarlet Moon. "No!" said Eclipse, holding out her hand weakly. "M-moon, don't you dare!" Scarlet Moon grabbed the Crystal, and acting more on instinct than anything else, fired a scarlet beam into the Ruby. Power suffused $herm. Power unlike anything else $she'd every felt. It burned $her body, burned like a thousand fires, and $she opened $her mouth to scream. Instead, Glow erupted. Great, blazing red beams that ripped holes in the roof and walls. $Her body pulsed and expanded, and burst and $she became... Glow. $She could feel Poseidon drawing on $herm, weaving $herm through the waters she rode even as she raced into the room. Poseidon took little bits of Scarlet Moon, threading it through the water as she raised a hand, freezing some of the water into a great icy boulder to fling at Scarlet Moon. Poseidon had used //$herm// to hurt //$her// friends. She was going to use //$herm// to hurt //$herm//. No. Scarlet Moon plucked the threads free, pulled $herself away from Poseidon. Poseidon's tidal wave collapsed, water rippling through the room. The villain fell like her strings had been cut. "Moon," said Eclipse, staring at Scarlet Moon with wide eyes. "What..." Scarlet Moon smiled at $her sister. "Scarlet Moon," said Eclipse, staggering to her feet. "Can you hear me? Please." Scarlet Moon frowned. Hadn't Eclipse seen $her smile? But then something drew $her attention. Something called to $herm, pulled on $herm, demanded $herm. $She turned. The Ruby. It pulled at the very fiber of $her being, like a drain pulling down water, or the vacuum of space pulling at the atmosphere. Scarlet Moon felt a deep, terrible rage swell in $herm. A prison. So much of $herm had been trapped in that hateful thing, unable to flow through the world, unable to see and touch. An empty scarlet prison. Scarlet Moon snarled. The building seemed to shudder. Eclipse cringed, and covered her ears. Scarlet Moon flung a bolt of $herself at the Ruby. The Ruby sucked the Glow, and pulsed smugly. Scarlet Moon snarled again. $She cast about, and $she saw Eclipse, saw the faint spiral of $herself flowing into $her sister's head. Scarlet Moon smiled. $She reached out and cast much of $herself into $her sister's head. Eclipse arched her back and gasped, clutching at her head as her brain suddenly got turbocharged with Glow. She gasped, and leaned against the wall, sputtering and quivering. "Wow! Wow! I didn't, that's. Oh man. I can, holy..." "Destroy the Prison," said Scarlet Moon, $her words quivering through the million strands of $herself woven through Eclipse's brain. "The Prison," said Eclipse. She looked at the Ruby. "You mean the Ruby. Yes, yes of course. Prometheus controlled fire. Pulling on the Ruby's power made her fire. But you, you always seemed to control the Glow directly. So of course, you'd become, well, Glow. Of course a battery of Glow would be a prison to Glow." Eclipse walked up to the Ruby. Scarlet Moon held on tight to the filaments of $herself permeating Eclipse. The Ruby reached for them, demanded them, pulled at them. But Scarlet Moon held on tight. They were $herm, and //$herm// alone. Eclipse studied the Ruby. She ran her fingers across it, her mask glowing with golden light as she studied it, as sensors in her costume gathered information and her hypercharged brain processed it. She nodded in satisfaction. She pulled out several small silver discs, almost like patches, and put them on the Ruby. She took a step back, and pressed a button. The Ruby opened wide. Scarlet Moon shrieked as the Crystal became a pitch black void, an overwhelming force grabbing $herm and dragging $herm in. "What are you doing?" $she cried. "I want my $sister back," said Eclipse through clenched teeth, tears in her eyes. "I won't let you have $herm. When Prometheus burned through all the excess Glow she got from the Ruby, she returned to normal. So will you." "Traitor!" shrieked Scarlet Moon as the Ruby pulled $herm in, trapping $her forever. "Traitor! Betrayer! Backstabber! Murder--" Scarlet Moon struck the crystal, and fell to $her hands and knees, gasping and shivering and sobbing. $Her consciousness contracted. $Her skin burned. The water was wet on $her hands and knees. The filaments of Glow faded. $She saw again in light, not in Glow. Indeed, $she only just now realized that $she had been seeing Glow, and not light. "Come on, quick, quick quick." Eclipse grabbed Scarlet Moon, and threw one of the $superheroine's arms over her shoulder. The two hobbled towards the exit. Eclipse reached down and grabbed the unconscious Poseidon by the hair and dragged her along. "Move, move move move." There was a great roaring behind them. Scarlet Moon looked over $her shoulder. Bright, ruby red cracks grew in the Crystal, bright red light shining through. The Ruby grew brighter, and brighter, blinding light filling the space. Eclipse dragged them out of the room, and heaved to the side. The entire dam shook, a deafening explosion ripping through the space. The wall next to them twisted, and burst, and great red light filled the dam. Then it vanished, and all went silent. "Are you ok?" asked Eclipse, grabbing Scarlet Moon's shoulders and giving $herm a little shake. "Come on $girl, speak to me." //Scarlet Moon gains a heroism point.// <<set $heroism to $heroism + 1>> [["\"What. The. Fuck.\""|s2ep1d2_poseidon_dam_round_3_ruby_1][$chosen to 1]] [["\"Well.

Poseidon swung an icy fist. Scarlet Moon caught it and twisted, throwing Poseidon over $her shoulder and into the wall. $Her eyes flared with scarlet light, and $she fired a scarlet beam at the villain. Poseidon stood, and tried to create an icy shield, but the beam blasted through the shield and slammed into the villain, driving her against the wall a second time. Poseidon fell on her cushy ass, gasping and panting. "Dammit. Damn, damn, damn, damn!" Eclipse staggered into the hallway, her steps gradually becoming more study as her Glow began to recover. "And another villain bites the dust!" [["\"Yup, and you know what that means! It's paddlin' time!"|s2ep1d2_poseidon_dam_paddle]] [["\"Your dastardly plan has been foiled.

"No!" said Poseidon as Scarlet Moon stood her up and bent her under $her arm. Poseidon squirmed weakly as she went over, her fat ass thrusting up, plump cheeks sticking out from under Scarlet Moon's arm, tiny little blue thong vanishing between those quivering orbs.

Scarlet Moon raised $her paddle above $her head a second time, and brought it down hard on Poseidon's left cheek to similar effect. Right, left, right, left went $her paddle, the scarlet implement bouncing between chubby cheeks with each stroke. Poseidon squealed and kicked, her bare bottom rolling and wobbling under Scarlet Moon's shoulder. She pounded on Scarlet Moon's calf, but she was weak as a kitten, and all she did was make Scarlet Moon's shield flare up a bit. <<link '"Tsk tsk. Such a naughty little supervillain.

"Please, please stop!" wailed Poseidon, kicking and howling under the merciless barrage. "Stop! I'll go quietly! Owww! God, I thought it'd hurt less on a woman's ass! Oww!" Eclipse scoffed.

"Don't mind if I do," said Eclipse with a smirk. She grabbed Poseidon around the shoulders and went down into a lunge, pulling the defeated villain over her knee. "No!" squealed Poseidon weakly as she found herself draped over Eclipse's bare thigh, her fat ass thrust into the air, plump cheeks swallowing her tiny blue thong. She wiggled and kicked, her ample cheeks rolling and bouncing with the movement. "Scarlet Moon," said Eclipse, holding out one hand, while the other pressed on the small of Poseidon's bare back, pinning the squirming villain to her thigh. Scarlet Moon wove a scarlet paddle and handed it to Eclipse. Eclipse hefted the paddle for a moment, as if testing its weight (not there really was any), and then brought it down on Poseidon's raised ass. The paddle flattened Poseidon's right cheek with a zappy crack, ripples spreading across the pillowy buttock. Poseidon squealed and kicked, which only made her fat ass bounce and jiggle even more. "Ahh! It hurts just as much as a chick!" wailed Poseidon. Eclipse cocked an eyebrow. "What? You thought it'd hurt more?" "Less," said Poseidon with a sniffle. Eclipse gave Poseidon a mystified look. "Extra padding," said Poseidon. Eclipse laughed. "Unfortunately for you, the nerve endings are in the same spot." Eclipse proceeded to paddle Poseidon's upthrust, thong-swallowing bottom with quick, stinging smacks, the paddle flicking between rolling, wobbling cheeks. Poseidon squealed and wiggled, kicked and bucked. "Stop it! Stop it!" "Begging for mercy already? Really? Whatever happened to the smug, cocky Poseidon?" Eclipse picked up her pace, the paddle blurring as it rained down on those wiggling, bobbling bare cheeks. "I'm sorry!" wailed Poseidon, kicking wildly as her fat cheeks danced under the paddle. "Please! Oww! Give me back to SPANK! Oww! Stop! Ahh! I'm sorry! Waaah!" Eclipse ignored Poseidon's protests, the paddle raining down for minutes on end. Each stroke sent ripples across the villain's chubby posterior. Each stroke elicited a squeal and a sob from the helpless villain. Each stroke left behind a red circular welt that merged in with the rest to become a uniform redness across her sensitive bottom. Eclipse stopped eventually, but not until Poseidon had been reduced to a sobbing, wailing wreck, her chubby cheeks redder than Scarlet Moon's costume. Eclipse shoved Poseidon off her thigh and loomed above the sobbing villain. "And don't ever even *think* of trying this again. You get me? Or you'll get a whole lot worse." Poseidon nodded morosely, rubbing her bright red bottom. Scarlet Moon bent down and picked her up, throwing her over $her shoulder. [["\"Right.

Poseidon swung an icy fist. Scarlet Moon tried to block it, but $her movements were sluggish. The fist slipped past $her defenses and struck $herm in the chest. Scarlet Moon flew backwards, smashing through a wall. $She staggered to $her feet, and zipped back after the villain, right into a battering ram of water. The deluge struck Scarlet Moon and knocked $herm hard to the ground. Scarlet Moon cried out in pain, $her shield flickering out, and the scarlet glow fading from $her eyes. Poseidon smirked. She lifted Scarlet Moon by the hair. "You put up a good fight, Moon I'll give you that. But I wasn't just sitting in a cell rotting. I was being //trained//.

I know you've gotten better. And yet. You lost." "You didn't fight Bright and Anklyana," said Scarlet Moon. "No, that's true. I beat them without having to lift a finger," said Poseidon.

You learn how to be smart." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Glare at Poseidon.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Scarlet Moon glared weakly at Poseidon. Poseidon chuckled. "Yeah, I'm probably talking too much aren't I? Come along. Time for you and Ruby to get to know each other." <</replace>> <</link>> Poseidon flicked her wrist, trapping Scarlet Moon in bonds of ice. She led the way to the room with the Ruby, Scarlet Moon being carried along on a small wave behind her. "You know, making me use the Ruby will just supercharge me," said Scarlet Moon. "What do you think will happen after that?" Poseidon shrugged. "You'll probably kick my ass. I don't care. Prometheus was an idiot. She thought after we escaped we could be free. No. SPANK will catch us again eventually. All I care about is making you people pay. A good spanking, and then watching us get dragged off to some black site again will be punishment enough for Bernice. But you. Some meddling busybody, shoving $her nose in where it doesn't belong. I want worse for you." "You want to kill me without killing me," said Scarlet Moon. Poseidon smirked over her shoulder at Scarlet Moon. "I want to end your life as you know it. And what better way, than turning you into pure Glow?" "You don't know that's what will happen," said Scarlet Moon. "Prometheus manipulates fire. The Ruby turned her into a creature of pure fire," said Poseidon. "You manipulate Glow directly. Do the math." Poseidon led Scarlet Moon into the room with the Ruby. Eclipse was on her hands and knees, taking slow, deep breaths. Her eyes widened when she saw Poseidon. "No! Please! Spank $herm if you want, but don't..." Eclipse groaned and held her head, slumping into the brackish water. Poseidon paused, and smirked. "You know, that's a good point. Once $she turns into Glow, I won't be able to spank $her <<bodytype 'flat' 'fat'>> ass anymore. Come here you." Poseidon flicked her wrist, weaving and freezing some water into a bench about waist high on Scarlet Moon. She grabbed Scarlet Moon by the hair and roughly bent the $girl over the icy bench, the helpless $superheroine's backside rounding and thrusting out, <<fat>> cheeks <<costume 'straining against the tight spandex.'

"Now that we've properly blistered your ass, good idea by the way Eclipse--Eclipse?" Poseidon looked in Eclipse's direction, frowning when she didn't see the superheroine. She looked around, and spied Eclipse standing unsteadily next to the Ruby. "What are you doing?" Eclipse smirked. "Delivering a package from SPANK." Eclipse pulled out the bolas the SPANK agents used last night to drain their Glow. She flung it around the Ruby. Poseidon laughed scornfully. "You really think one of those pieces of crap could drain the Ruby? They can't handle one of us!" Eclipse grinned dangerously. "You know what I discovered? It's actually //really easy// to jack this thing's capacity through the roof. The //problem// is that there's no in between. Nothing between 'mild' drain and 'through the roof.' And 'through the roof' could be lethal. But that's not a problem when you want to drain a giant, inanimate object, now is it?" Poseidon's grin turned sour as the Ruby dimmed and dimmed and finally went coal black, so black the very light in the room seemed to grow dimmer. "Wait, we need Glow to live?" asked Scarlet Moon painfully. "Nope," said Eclipse cheerfully. "A supercharged bola could kill one of us, because after it hits capacity--" Eclipse leapt over Poseidon, chopped her elbow to make her drop Scarlet Moon, and kicked her against the Ruby. "It explodes." Eclipse grabbed Scarlet Moon and threw the two of them out of the room right as the bolas exploded, bathing the room in burst of scarlet light, and sending Poseidon flying against the wall. The villain slumped against the wall, groaning. "And without the superhuman resilience that Glow gives us, explosions are rather lethal," said Eclipse as she tied up Poseidon with a small, strong black string that flew from her wrists. Scarlet Moon pushed $herself to $her feet, and rubbed $her blazing rear. "So when you suggested she spank me..." "It was a trick." Eclipse gave a sheepish smile. "Needed her distracted while I dragged myself to the Ruby and prepared the bola. I seemed to have absorbed some of the ambient Glow from the Ruby too. I still feel a bit weak and shaky, but not as bad as I was." <<link 'Smack Eclipse chubby rear. "Good idea."'>> <<replace '#comment6'>> Scarlet Moon flicked Eclipse's cape up and smacked her large, exposed buttocks. The caramel orbs flattened and wobbled under the sharp smack. "Good idea." "Oww!" Eclipse hopped, and danced away, rubbing her rippling cheeks. She pouted. "Then why'd you smack me?" "Just a little bit of payback," said Scarlet Moon. "But I had to something! Otherwise she would have turned you into a Glow monster elemental thing," said Eclipse. "I know. But I figure, if I smack your ass once or twice every time you offer me up as a sacrificial lamb, you'll only do it in emergencies." Scarlet Moon flicked Eclipse's cape up and smacked her soft, protruding cheeks a second time. Eclipse squealed and hopped away, her large chest bouncing in her low-cut costume, and her ample rear rolling. She scowled at Scarlet Moon. "You're lucky your ass is frozen meat right now." Scarlet Moon smirked. "Yeah. Real lucky." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Sag and lean on your sister.

"They're laying siege to the main police station," said Eclipse. "Dad!" squeaked Anklyana. "Anklyana!" said Eclipse sharply. She swooped behind Bright, and gave Anklyana's exposed buttocks a hard smack. "Oww!" yelped Anklyana as her plump cheeks rippled. "Come on Eclipse! I'm not allowed to be worried?" "Watch what you're saying," said Eclipse. "You never know who might be listening." "But--" "I get it, you're worried. But how safe do you think he'd be if someone found out who you are?" asked Eclipse. "I guess," said Anklyana, rubbing her exposed cheeks. "What are they doing attacking in broad daylight?" asked Bright. "They want crowds," said Eclipse. Anklyana hissed. "They want us to hold back." Eclipse nodded. "They know we'll pull our punches to avoid hurting any bystanders." [["\"Well, we'll just have to beat 'em by fighting smarter, not harder.\""|s2ep1d2_police_station]] [["\"Those knaves!

The quartet landed on a clock tower overlooking the police station. Prometheus stood in the middle of the roof, wrapped in flame, throwing bolts of flame at Officer Chastain, who dodged back and forth across the roof, occasionally staggering Prometheus with gusts of wind. A great serpent of fire coiled around the station's radio tower, snapping at Yomama, the great eagle Bernice could create out of nothing but the wind. Poseidon stood on the edge off the roof, sunlight glinting off an icy sheen covering her skin. Police officers on the ground fired particle beams at her, only to get swept away by a great tidal wave of water pulled from a nearby water tower. Officers scrambled to cordon off the street, and evacuate pedestrians and drivers. "Bright, help Officer Chastain against Prometheus. Scarlet Moon, Anklyana, you're on protection duty. Keep those officers and pedestrians from getting hurt. I'll see if I can smother that serpent," said Eclipse, pulling a steel sphere out from behind her cape. "Where do you keep all that?" asked Anklyana. "You know how our costume changes work?" asked Eclipse. "Same basic idea. Now move!" Anklyana squeaked. Scarlet Moon grabbed Anklyana's wrist and swung down towards the street. $She skimmed just above the asphalt between a band of police officers and an onrushing wave. $She released Anklyana, who rolled across the ground, and came up on one knee. Anklyana's eyes flared with green light as she held up her hands. A large, curved shield rose up in front of the tidal wave. Water crashed against it, arching up the shield and back in on itself. Scarlet Moon zipped back up into the air, looking for others in danger. A gout of flame shot across the sky, and lit up a pair of awnings over a small bistro across from the station. Several civilians who had been cowering under the awning, yelped and raced for the streets, covering their heads from the flames. Scarlet Moon pivoted, and lashed a cord to the second floor of the bistro, preparing to swing down and help. But a great watery tentacle wrapped itself around Scarlet Moon and froze, holding $herm in place. "Where do you think you're going?" asked Poseidon with an evil smirk. <<set $counter_s2ep1_station to 0>> [[Power: Wrap a scarlet shield around the fleeing civilians.|s2ep1d2_police_station_round_1_power]] [[Craftiness: Try to lure Poseidon into putting out the flames.|s2ep1d2_police_station_round_1_craftiness]]

Poseidon raised $her arm. Scarlet Moon blasted the ice holding $herm to smithereens with a scarlet beam. $She lashed a cord to Poseidon's chest, and zipped feetfirst into the villain, sending her sprawling across the rooftop, ample tits bouncing and plump, exposed buttocks rippling and jiggling <<link '"Fun fact: I can walk and chew bubblegum."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Fun fact: I can walk and chew bubblegum," said Scarlet Moon. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"Shame on you, trying to kick a $girl while $she\'s protecting innocent people!"'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Shame on you, trying to kick a $girl while $she\'s protecting innocent people!" <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Glare at Poseidon.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Scarlet Moon glared at Poseidon, eyes flaring. <</replace>> <</link>> Poseidon rolled back to her feet, and threw a hard-packed ball of ice at Scarlet Moon.

Poseidon raised her arm. Scarlet Moon tried to shatter the ice holding $herm with a scarlet beam, but too much of $her focus was on the bystanders trying to escape the burning building, and the beam splashed harmlessly against the ice. The ice twisted, bits falling off as it turned Scarlet Moon upside down, $her <<fat>> ass pointed at Poseidon. <<hair 'Scarlet Moon tried to break free.'

Scarlet Moon ripped out of the column of ice holding $herm, and swung down towards the fleeing bystanders. $She kept one eye on Poseidon, carefully adjusting the angle of $her swing to try to put the flaming canopy behind $herm. <<statCheck $craftiness s2ep1d2_police_station_round_1_craftiness_success s2ep1d2_police_station_round_1_craftiness_failure>> <<decreaseStat "craftiness">>

Poseidon flung a watery barrage at Scarlet Moon. At the last minute, Scarlet Moon swung up, pulling Poseidon's attack with $herm, bathing the building and flaming canopy in water, while leaving the fleeing bystanders fairly dry. Steam rose around Scarlet Moon, obscuring Poseidon's vision long enough for Scarlet Moon to grab the two bystanders and get them away safely. "This is absurd," said one of the women, a black woman in her thirties. "Can't even get lunch these days without superpowered skanks wrecking the place. Surpreme my ass." <<link '"Just be glad one of those \'skanks\' bothered to save //your// ass."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Just be glad one of those 'skanks' bothered to save //your// ass," says Scarlet Moon, before swinging off to contend with Poseidon. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"Whatever lady."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Whatever lady," said Scarlet Moon, before swinging off to contend with Poseidon. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Say nothing.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Scarlet Moon swung back into the fray to contend with Poseidon. <</replace>> <</link>> Scarlet Moon zipped up atop a nearby office buiding, and raced across the roof.

The spring sprang. sent Poseidon flying through the air, and smashed into an adjacent office building. Poseidon burst out a moment later in a deluge of water.

Scarlet Moon angled up to try to draw Poseidon's attack up and across the flaming canopy, but timed it too late. The blast of water slammed into $herm and threw $her against the front of the building. $She fell to the ground, dazed as a cascade of water snuffed out the flames on the canopy, and utterly soaked the two bystanders. One of them, a solidly built black woman in her thirties let out a cry of distress. "My hair! You ruined my hair! Hours of work! Over a hundred dollars! Ruined in an instant! You!" The woman grabbed a nearby chair with one hand, and Scarlet Moon's hair with the other. The next thing the $superheroine knew, $she was face down over the woman's lap, $her <<costume 'pants scrunched around $her knees, bare, $skincolor ass rounded across the woman\'s thighs.'

A scarlet beam sent the villain ducking for cover. "Oh no you don't," said the woman, fishing a wooden hairbrush out of her purse. "You do not get to ruin my hair and then run off all fine and dandy. You're getting your <<female 'skank' 'himbo'>> ass beat, and you're getting it beat good!" The woman brought the hairbrush down on Scarlet Moon's exposed, damp buttocks. <<link 'Shriek.'>> <<replace '#comment2'>> Scarlet Moon shrieked at the top of $her lungs as the brush flattened $her bare, damp skin. The sharp crack cut through the sounds of superhero combat. The impact sent ripples across the helpless $superheroine's <<fat>> flesh.

"Or the time you just rendered completely wasted. To say nothing of the money!" "This is what you call gratitude? I saved your life!" cried Scarlet Moon. "You wanna see what I'd be doing if I wasn't showing gratitude?" asked the woman. She leaned forward and unleashed a rapid-fire flurry of hard, bum-flattening smacks that left Scarlet Moon yelping and wiggling while $her bare, $skincolor cheeks rolled and <<jiggled>> under the onslaught.

"How'd that feel?" asked Poseidon through her tears. "Getting your <<bodytype 'scrawny' 'chubby' 'fat'>> ass beat by a bunch of normies?"

A silver sphere struck the side of Poseidon's head and exploded in a dazzling array of lights and sounds that sent the villain stumbling and blinking. A trio of police officers burst onto the roof, particle beams firing at Poseidon and Prometheus (and even one or two at Bright). Prometheus hovered in the air above the police station, wreathed in flames. Bright and Tempestus circled around her, diving at her, while she kept them at bay with bolts and rings of flame. Anklyana was running around on the ground below, throwing up shields here and there to deflect gouts of flame, golden energy bolts and bits of debris. Eclipse sprinted up to Poseidon, and swept the villain's feet out from under her. "Scarlet Moon, get those idiot cops out of here! I'll keep Poseidon busy." Poseidon blasted Eclipse in the face with a torrent of water. Ice formed across her skin, and she tackled the superheroine, sending the two rolling across the roof. Poseidon socked Eclipse in the chest, then grabbed the girl and slammed her into the roof. She raised her fist.

Scarlet Moon's spring sprang, rocketing Poseidon into the air. But Poseidon's arc fell short, and she sailed under Prometheus, rather than slamming into her. Poseidon turned in midair, and raised her fist. A nearby water tower burst, and a cascade of water swirled around her, catching her and flooding the roof. The sudden torrent sent Scarlet Moon, Eclipse, and the three cops flying over the edge of the roof. Eclipse threw her cape out. The golden ribbing on her costume glowed, and she swept up into the air. Scarlet Moon lashed the sputtering, shrieking cops with scarlet cords and zipped them into $her arms. "Got you!"

Scarlet Moon leapt up, grabbed Poseidon's shoulder, and planted the scarlet spring against $her chest. <<link '"Buh bye."'>> <<replace '#comment3'>> "Buh bye," said Scarlet Moon. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"Tell Prometheus I\'m coming for her next."'>> <<replace '#comment3'>> "Tell Prometheus I\'m coming for her next." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Say nothing.'>> <<replace '#comment3'>> Scarlet Moon grimaced. <</replace>> <</link>> The spring sprang, rocketing Poseidon into Prometheus. The pair vanished into a cloud of steam, and torrent of cursing. There was a sharp slap. A squeal. Then the two plummetted out of the sky and smashed through the roof of the police building. "Come on. The ruby's in there." Eclipse raced after them, and dove into the hole. "Wait, you guys were keeping a giant crystal o' superpowers in the police basement?" asked Bright. There was a whistling sound, and Bright's eyes widened, while her plump, bare cheeks creased and jiggled. Her hands lanced back to rub a pair of thin red welts rising on her creamy cheeks. "Oww! Tempestas, what the hell?" "It's Officer Chastain now," said Bernice as she raced down the hole after Eclipse. "And where else should we put it? Under your mom's bed?" Bright chuckled as she followed. "No, Officer Chastain. That would be an //especially// bad idea. Trust me." "I guess I'll just run in through the front door," said Anklyana, sighing in resignation. "In heels." Scarlet Moon followed, diving into the hole after Bright. "Hey, it was your idea to add heels to the costume," said Eclipse. "Er, yes. Well. I thought I would mostly be standing and throwing up walls and uhh, stuff," said Anklyana. "Wait, the heels were //Anklyana's// idea?" asked Bright with a shocked laugh. "//Anklyana//?" "Shut up blondie," said Anklyana. "No, no you misunderstand. I'm proud of you," said Bright. "Turns out our little Anklyana has a foxy side."

"Sorry Scarlet Moon, but we're not about to hang back while a couple of kids in skimpy Halloween costumes risk their lives," said one of the officers, shooting his particle beam at Poseidon. The particle beam splashed harmlessly off of Poseidon's icy armor. A swirl of water coiled around Poseidon, and then flew at the officer like a striking snake. <<link '"Lord protect me from heroic cops."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Lord protect me from heroic cops," grumbled Scarlet Moon as $she threw $herself in front of the oncoming torrent. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"They\'re badass costumes, thank you very much."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Scarlet Moon threw $herself in front of the oncomming torrent.

Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to a nearby streetlight, wove a large basket on $her back, grabbed the officer she'd spoken with, and threw him into the basket. $She lashed a cord to a second police officer, zipped them in and up into the basket. $She swung and snagged the third officer's outreaching hand, and burst out of the mini-waterfall. $She landed on the street, stumbled, and would have faceplanted, except Anklyana caught $herm with a flexible green shield. Scarlet Moon set the three shuddering officers. <<link '"Next time, listen to me."'>> <<replace '#comment2'>> "Next time, listen to me," said Scarlet Moon. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"Are you three ok?"'>> <<replace '#comment2'>> "Are you three ok?" <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"You gonna let me do my job now?"'>> <<replace '#comment2'>> "You gonna let me do my job now?" <</replace>> <</link>> The officers nodded woozily, while several paramedics rushed over. Scarlet Moon zipped back up onto the police station roof. Prometheus, Tempestas, and Bright bobbed and wove through the air in an elegant dance of flame, and light. Poseidon knelt on the roof, Eclipse thrown over her knee, the superheroine's cape flung over her head, and her bottom thrust into the air, meaty brown cheeks exploding out of her black-and-gold leotard. Poseidon vigorously paddled Eclipse's wobbling buttocks with an icy paddle, while the helpless superheroine howled and kicked. <<link '"Put her down!"'>> <<replace '#comment3'>> "Put her down!"

Eclipse rolled away from Poseidon (though not before kicking her right in one of her pillowy boobs), and leapt to her feet. She rubbed her bottom and winced. "Man, I can't believe I thought it was a good idea to *join* you $girls. Shoulda stayed behind the computer screen." "Hah!" said Bright. "Looks like someone can dish it out, but can't take it! Oof!" "Focus on the fight please," said Eclipse sharply. "Hehehehehe. Aagh!" Poseidon clambered to her feet, rubbing her head with one hand, and her boob with the other. "I'm gonna beat *both* your fat asses!" "Hey!" Eclipse frontflipped, and struck Poseidon with a right hook. "<<bodytype 'Scarlet Moon\'s ass is far too flat to be fat!' 'They\'re not fat, they\'re *voluptuous*.' 'They\'re not fat, they\'re *voluptuous*.' >>" Poseidon staggered under the punch. She snarled, and raised a fist, only for a scarlet cord to lash itself to her wrist. Scarlet Moon zipped forward, and kicked the villain in the belly, icy chunks flying from her armor. She staggered backwards, only to get blasted in the face by a scarlet beam, followed by a small steel sphere that latched onto her shoulder and gave her a nasty electric shock. "Prometheus, I need support here," said Poseidon. She threw up her hands and unleashed a deluge that drove Scarlet Moon and Eclipse back a step. "Funny, I was gonna say the same thing--agh! Stupid blonde bimbo! Let's stir things up a bit." Prometheus spiraled up into the air, and then dove towards the roof, preceded by a jet of flames. The heat melted a hole in the roof that she plunged into. Poseidon smirked and followed. "After them!" cried Tempestas. "The Ruby is in the station basement!" "Wait, you're storing a giant Glow catalyst like common evidence?" asked Eclipse. "Well, where else should we store it?" asked Tempestas in exasperation as she dove into the hole. "Supremes have been a thing for less than a year!" "Good point," said Eclipse as she dove in after Tempestas, followed by Scarlet Moon and Bright. "Wait for me, I'm coming!" said Anklyana. "Though if someone could pick me up so I don't have to run after you all...in heels." "Hey, the heels were your idea," said Eclipse. "The heels were *Anklyana's* idea?" cried Bright. "You shut up!" "No, no I'm proud of you. Anklyana's had a sexy side all along!" [["\"Let's focus on the bad guys please!\""|s2ep1d2_police_station_round_3]] [["\"Best part about being a superhero.

Bright snagged Anklyana, and the $superheroines chased the villains through the station, dodging and weaving around gouts of flame, hails of icicles, and floods of water. At one point, Prometheus' flames set off the fire sprinklers, which Poseidon quickly froze, encasing the station and the $heroines in biting ice. Though the chase only lasted seconds, it nonetheless felt like an eternity before they burst into a small storeroom. The room had been emptied of everything but the crystal, the great Ruby pulsing and bathing the evidence room in a dim red light. "Hold them off Poseidon," said Prometheus with a twisted, gleeful grin. "Just a few seconds." Poseidon stopped in the doorway, and whirled around, holding up her hands. Water from the fire sprinklers swirled around her and up in front of her, freezing into a wall of solid ice.

Scarlet Moon smashed through the ice in a crackling explosion. $She blasted Poseidon with a scarlet beam, lashed a cord to Prometheus' back, and zipped her back, flinging her through the remnants of the icewall.

Prometheus went skidding and sliding across the ground. Bright brought down a golden saber that slashed through Prometheus' shoulder before she could regain her feet. Chunks of ice whirled into the air and flew at Scarlet Moon, but bounced harmlessly off a green shield, while Eclipse tackled Poseidon. "I'm going to roast every one of you," snarled Prometheus, before getting flung against the wall by a gust of wind from Bernice. She unleashed a burst of flames that drove the $superheroines back.

Scarlet Moon's feet slammed into the icy wall. Cracks ran up and down the thick ice, but it held.

<<if $choice == 2>> "That's what she said," said Bernice with a smirk. Bright, Eclipse and Anklyana looked at her. "What?" asked Bernice. <</if>> "Moon, back up," says Eclipse. "You and Bright are gonna have to work together here. Two beams, at eleven clock. Pretty sure that's the thinnest part of the wall." Bright frowned. "Eleven? That's like, nine hours from now!" Eclipse rolled her eyes. She gave Bright's pert bottom a hard smack, the bare cheeks bouncing under her diaphanous microskirt. "Not time you ditz! Position. Imagine an analog clock on the icewall. Shoot where the 11 would be." Bright squealed and rubbed her bottom. She scowled at Eclipse. "You think I know how to read an analog clock? Those things don't exist anymore!" "Nezerwallup has a giant analog clock tower in the middle of campus!" cried Eclipse. "Pff. Like I ever pay attention to that thing." Eclipse sighed and facepalmed. She pointed. "Just. There. Shoot there." Bright's fist glowed, and she fired a beam of golden light at the icewall. Eclipse grimaced, then sighed again. "Close enough. Scarlet Moon?" Scarlet Moon's eyes flared with red light, and a crimson beam struck the same spot as Bright's golden laser. The beams splashed against the icewall. There was a distant cracking sound, and then the beams punched through the wall. Immediately, Bright flew over there, and ran her golden saber through the wall, swiping her blade through the ice and slicing it in two. The ice fell away, to reveal Prometheus on one knee, holding her smoking hand. "What the hell?" snarled Prometheus. "Why isn't it working?" Eclipse smirked. "Body probably got overwhelmed by the sudden influx of power. If you handn't spent the last fifteen minutes fighting us, maybe you could have handled it. But..." Prometheus snarled. "Jokes on you Bimbo Babe! I still got some power, and it's more than enough to take you down!" <<set $counter_s2ep1_station to $counter_s2ep1_station + 1>> [["\"Bimbo Babe?

At the last second, $she lashed a cord towards the slit of rapidly closing space between the ceiling and the icewall. <<statCheck $craftiness s2ep1d2_police_station_round_3_craftiness_success s2ep1d2_police_station_round_3_craftiness_failure>> <<decreaseStat "craftiness">>

The cord slipped through right before the ice sealed against the ceiling, forcing the ice to form around it. Scarlet Moon leapt up to the edge of the iceblock, swirled that cord into a scarlet saber, and sliced down, neatly cutting the wall in two. Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the back of Prometheus' shirt and yanked her out of the evidence room. [[Increase Power.|s2ep1d2_police_station_round_3_success][$power to $power + 1]] [[Increase Charm.|s2ep1d2_police_station_round_3_success][$charm to $charm + 1]]

The cord flew towards the icewall, but just a hair too late, the ice sealing against the ceiling. [["\"Crap.\""|s2ep1d2_police_station_round_3_failure]] [["\"I'm open to suggestions people.\""|s2ep1d2_police_station_round_3_failure]] [[Say nothing.|s2ep1d2_police_station_round_3_failure]]

Scarlet Moon lashed a cord to the ceiling and swung at Poseidon, scarlet saber slashing through the air. Eclipse zigzagged and launched a flying kick at Prometheus. Bernice unleashed a great gust of wind that propelled them at the enemy. Bright threw a flurry of laser bolts at the two villains, while four green bubbles formed around the heroes. <<if $counter_s2ep1_station < 0>> <<include s2ep1d2_police_station_combat_lost>> <<else>> <<include s2ep1d2_police_station_combat_won>> <</if>>

Poseidon tried to block the saber with an icy shield, but the ice formed too sluggishly. Scarlet Moon's blade smashed right through it and plunged into the villain's chest, dropping her to her knees. Bright's bolts struck Prometheus, driving the villain back and keeping her off-balance until Eclipse got close and socked her in the jaw. The two villains slumped to the ground, groaning. [[Bend Prometheus over your knee.|s2ep1d2_police_station_combat_won_prometheus_spanking]] [[Hang back and let the others handle it.|s2ep1d2_police_station_combat_won_spanking_watch]]

Scarlet Moon grabbed the groaning Prometheus and went into a lunge. $She flipped the villain over $her <<costume 'spandex-covered' 'bare'>> thigh, and tugged down the girl's tight leather shorts. Prometheus squawked and squirmed weakly as her pert little bottom jiggled into view, heart-shaped cheeks clenching at the sudden exposure. "Let go of me you <<female 'bitch,' 'asshole,'>>" said the woman. <<link '"Let me think about it for a minute. No."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Let me think about it for a minute.

Bernice had grabbed Poseidon and bent her over a waist-high forcefield kindly provided by Anklyana. The villain's big, plush bottom thrust out behind her, fat cheeks swallowing her skimpy blue and white thong bikini bottoms. Scarlet Moon wove a scarlet paddle in one hand, while grabbing Prometheus' hair and forcing her head down with the other. <<link '"Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."'>> <<replace '#comment2'>> "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"Prepare yourself!

Again and again Scarlet Moon brought the paddle down on Prometheus' wiggling bottom, the paddle flaring with light with every stroke, the harsh crack echoing through the police station. It wasn't long before Prometheus' started to cry out, squealing and yelping as the paddle scorched her raised rear. Meanwhile, Poseidon kicked and flailed wildly, thin red lines appearing across her raised, wobbling rear as Bernice gave her the wind switching of her life. "When are you gonna learn, Scout?" asked Bernice. "Vivi only ever gets you in trouble." "You shut up," wailed Poseidon. "Prissy little stuck up cop. Always getting us in trouble! Tattling to Mom, now working for the Man!" "What are you, twelve?" Bernice let out a grunt of disgust. An extra fierce flurry of swishes filled the room and Poseidon shrieked and flailed wildly, her chubby rear wobbling, red lines appearing all over the place. By this time, Prometheus was wailing as well, her raised rear bouncing and wobbling under Scarlet Moon's blurring paddle, her long legs kicking. After another solid ten minutes of paddle flaring and wind switches swishing, two very contrite and sore girls lay on the ground clutching their flaming backsides. Eclipse nodded in satisfaction. "You think this'll make the Police Chief a bit more--" "You better not have broken a thing down there you little brats," barked a loud, gruff voice. Anklyana paled. "Uhh, no I don't think so. Shall we go?" "We shall," said Eclipse, hastily grabbing Anklyana. [["\"And thus, Justice is served. Now, up, up and away!\""|s2ep1d2_police_station_wrapup]] [["\"What's that?

Eclipse grabbed Prometheus by the back of her vest. She went into a lunge and flipped the squirming girl over a thick caramel thigh. "Let me go you fat-assed bimbo!" said Prometheus, wiggling weakly. Eclipse tutted as she tugged the girl's shorts down to her thighs, bringing a pair of pale little cheeks jiggling into view. "Really now, is that the right thing to call the superheroine whose about to smack your bottom?" "Ahh, screw you," said Prometheus. "Good idea. I'll talk to my boyfriend about it. I'm sure he'll be happy to oblige." Eclipse brought her hand down hard and fast on Prometheus' bare posterior, her firm palm flattening the villain's pert rear. Prometheus grunted, twitching a little bit. As Eclipse's hard hand rained down on the raised rear, the villain's grunts turned into yelps. Her twitching turned into squirming. As the villain's bouncing flesh turned steadily redder, the villain turned steadily louder. Meanwhile, Poseidon kicked and flailed wildly, thin red lines appearing across her raised, wobbling rear as Bernice gave her the wind switching of her life. "When are you gonna learn, Scout?" asked Bernice. "Vivi only ever gets you in trouble." "You shut up," wailed Poseidon. "Prissy little stuck up cop. Always getting us in trouble! Tattling on Mom, now working for the Man!" "What are you, twelve?" Bernice let out a grunt of disgust. An extra fierce flurry of swishes fill the room and Poseidon shrieks and flails wildly, her chubby rear wobbling, red lines appearing all over the place. By this time, Prometheus was wailing as well, her raised rear bouncing and wobbling under Eclipse's flat palm, her long legs kicking. After another solid ten minutes of palm cracking and wind switches swishing, two very contrite and sore girls lay on the ground clutching their flaming backsides. Eclipse nodded in satisfaction. "You think this'll make the Police Chief a bit more--" "You better not have broken a thing down there you little brats," barked a loud, gruff voice. Anklyana paled. "Uhh, no I don't think so.

<<set $keyword_s1ep1_prometheus_poseidon_victorious to true>> A thick crust of icy armor surrounded Poseidon. Scarlet Moon's saber shattered against it. Poseidon's fist lashed out, punching right through Anklyana's flickering shield and sending Scarlet Moon sprawling. Prometheus flung a flurry of firebolts at Bright, forcing her to dodge and twist. One caught her in the hip, and she fell, clutching her side. Bernice flung a blast of air that staggered the two villains, but a jet of water from Poseidon dropped her. Eclipse tried to sock Prometheus in the jaw, but the fiery villain ducked the punch and rammed her elbow into Eclipse's gut, bringing the heroine to her knees. Anklyana fell to her hands and knees, her energy spent just trying and failing to maintain her shields around the others in the face of the villains' onslaught. "Aww, fiddlesticks," said Eclipse with a groan. "I think what you actually meant was 'ah shit,'" said Bright. "That is not appropriate for a superhero," said Eclipse. "Neither is getting our asses beat," said Bright. "Are you kidding? I can't think of anything more appropriate," said Prometheus with a smirk. "Which ones you want Poseidon?" "I'll take these three." Poseidon grabbed Anklyana by the back of her costume and dragged her to join Scarlet Moon and Eclipse. "Ah yes. <<bodytype 'A big bottom-little bottom sandwich I see.' 'Going for the fatasses eh?'>>" said Prometheus with a smirk. Poseidon grinned. "The fatter the ass, the more satisfying the jiggle." Poseidon raised her hand, and an icy wall formed around the three super$heroines, lifting them into the air, and leaving them dangling with their torsos on one side, and <<bodytype 'two fat bottoms and a little bottom' 'three fat bottoms'>> stuck out the other side. Anklyana squealed and kicked, her pale plump rear, left mostly bare by her leotard, rolling and jiggling adorably. Eclipse, her cape thrown over her head, wiggled and pushed vainly against the ice. She kneed the ice wall a few times, and her feet scrabbled against the ground. Her fat caramel ass, left almost completely bare by her thong leotard, wobbled and rippled as she struggled to free herself. <<link 'Kick and squeal.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Scarlet Moon joined $her struggling companions in their wiggles and yelps, $her <<fat>>, <<costume 'bottom, cheeks straining against $her spandex pants,' '$skincolor bottom, left completely bare by $her spandex thong,'>> rippled and wobbled with every kick of $her <<bodytype 'slender' 'chubby'>> thighs. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Pound on the ice.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Scarlet Moon hammered $her fist weakly against the icy wall, but all $she managed to accomplish was make $her hand hurt. $Her <<fat>> bottom, stuck between Anklyana's and Eclipse's, clenched nervously, ripples spreading across $her <<costume 'spandex-hugging' '$skincolor'>> cheeks. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Dangle in resignation.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Scarlet Moon dangled limply in the icy wall, $her <<costume 'spandex-hugging' '$skincolor'>> cheeks smooth and still as $she awaited $her fate. <</replace>> <</link>> The sounds of yelps and squeals echoed through the small basement, along with the sharp crack of palm on bare bottom and Prometheus' cackle. Sounded like she'd already started spanking Bernice and Bright. Poseidon paced back and behind the <<bodytype 'three bottoms, one slender one sandwiched between two fat ones.' 'three large, soft bottoms.'>> <<costume 'She paused long enough to tug Scarlet Moon\'s pants down to $her thighs, bringing the $superheroine\'s rump into full view.' 'She took a moment to pull on Eclipse\'s thong, eliciting a surprised yelp from the heroine.'>> Poseidon resumed her pacing, running her hand across each of the three plump, round bottoms. "Hmm. Which one to start with. Which one to start with. So many naughty little bottoms. So much punishment to dish out. So little time." "So get on with it already," said Prometheus over the yelps, howls and crisp crack of palm on skin. "I already got these two practically in tears." "Don't rush me Pom-Pom," said Poseidon. "I want to savor this. Oh, how I want to savor it." "Well, the cops are gonna be here any minute. You spend much longer savoring, and you won't get a chance to do any spanking." With a contemptuous flick of her wrist, Poseidon formed an icy wall on the far side of the hall. "There. Now I'll have plenty of time. Hmm. I think I'll start...with the cute one in green. Anklyana was her name right? I don't think you were around when we clashed with Scarlet Moon and Bernice in November." There was a crackle of ice, then a sharp crack. Anklyana's eyes widened. She squealed and her arms flailed. On the other side of the wall her doughy bottom flattened and rippled under the sharp crack of an icy paddle. Scarlet Moon snagged Anklyana's flailing hand and gave it a squeeze as the harsh crack of paddle on flesh rang through the room. Anklyana howled and wiggled, tears forming in her eyes. Her chubby legs ran in place, her fat bare cheeks jiggling and wobbling with each burning, icy stroke. For several minutes, the sharp thwack of an icy paddle on a big, fat bottom mixed with the crisp slaps of Prometheus' palm on Bright and Bernice's pert rears. Anklyana's howls mixed with their cries of pain. Eclipse watched with wide eyes, gnawing her lower lip nervously, and wincing with every sharp crap. "There we go. I think little Anklyana has learned not to mess with me," said Poseidon, giving the girl one last hard stroke that made Anklyana wail. "Now. Whose next? Scarlet Moon? This new girl, Eclipse?" asked Poseidon, lightly tapping the icy paddle against each of their rumps. Scarlet Moon winced at the cold burn, and Eclipse whimpered and wiggled. "Hmm. I thin maybe we'll do Scarlet Moon next," said Poseidon. "Let the newbie stew a bit longer." And with that, the icy paddle whistled through the air and cracked against Scarlet Moon's bare, $skincolor, <<fat>> bottom. <<link 'Shriek and kick.'>> <<replace '#comment2'>> Scarlet Moon howled and flailed as Poseidon's paddle repeteatedy burned $her <<jiggling>> rear end, $her <<fat>> flesh sinking under the heavy strokes, and then bouncing back with a ripple. $She squealed and blubbered, while Poseidon laughed maniacally and rained down one burning stroke after another. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Grimace and stay still.'>> <<replace '#comment2'>> Scarlet Moon grimaced, wincing and clinging to Eclipse's and Anklyana's hands as Poseidon's paddle burned into $her helpless bottom, the cold, harsh ice repeatdly sinking deeply into $her <<fat>>, <<jiggling>> bottom.

Hot pain bloomed across $her cheeks, laced with the icy burn of Poseidon's paddle. <</replace>> <</link>> After a few minutes of agony, Poseidon stopped. Scarlet Moon drooped, dangling in the icy hole, desperately sucking in $her breath. $She wanted so badly to reach back and rub $her stinging rear, but of course $she couldn't reach through the ice. "Now, at last it's the newbie's turn," said Poseidon in a low, dangerous voice. Eclipse whimpered and squirmed. She squeezed Scarlet Moon's hand, and her chubby bottom rippled and bounced as she wiggled. "Welcome to the superhero life. I hope this isn't the last time I get to blister your bimbo booty." Poseidon brought her icy paddle down on Eclipse's helpless bare buttocks. There was a sharp crackling crack. Eclipse's caramel cheek flattened under the heavy stroke. The girl squealed, and kicked her legs wildly, which only made her pillowy bottom ripple more. Scarlet Moon squeezed Eclipse's hand tightly as the girl howled and flailed her way through a paddling from Poseidon. "Oh God that ice paddle *hurts,*" she wailed as she flailed and kicked under the stinging strokes. "That's the idea, stupid girl," said Poseidon in a low hiss. "That's right. Scream your lungs out. Kick like a tantruming toddler. Show me how naughty superheroines take their licks!" Poseidon rained her paddle down on Eclipse's bare bottom. The harder Poseidon spanked, the harder Eclipse kicked. The harder Eclipse kicked, the harder Poseidon spanked. It was a vicious cyle that ended after a few minutes in Eclipse dangling from the hole, sobbing and crying, her caramel bottom red and flaming. "Heh," said Poseidon. The ice wall behind her started to crack. "Well. That's our signal to skeddadle Prometheus." "We'll catch you superbrats later," said Poseidon. A sharp crack rang out, followed by a squeal from Bright. Then, Poseidon used some rapidly freezing water to rip a hole in the ceiling fled. Scarlet Moon's eyes flared. $She squirmed, and grunted, and finally shattered the ice with a burst of power. $She staggered, and rubbed $her bottom. "Come on," said Eclipse, helping Anklyana stand. "Let's get out of here." "You $girls go," said Bernice with a resigned sigh. "I need to explain to the chief how five $superheroines somehow let two supervillains escape."

As the icy wall rose between them and the pair of supervillains, Scarlet Moon's thoughts flitted back to the devastation wreaked last night. The bridge, melted by Prometheus' power amplified by the gem. The military convoy, filled with people desperately trying to get off the bridge before it collapsed. $Her and Anklyana's desperate efforts to keep it up long enough for them to escape. The attack on the police station, in the middle of the city, in broad daylight. All for what? So that Prometheus could gain even *more* power? Being a Supreme wasn't enough? She had to be supercharged? How many people did she put at risk? How many have been hurt, could have been killed? How much damage has she done? Something in Scarlet Moon vanishes. Some sort of mental block, some sort of barrier. "Enough." Scarlet Moon flared with a blinding red light. The light swirled and into $her narrowed eyes, which blazed with power. $Her head kicked back, and a massive scarlet beam erupted from $her eyes, pulverized the ice wall, smashed Poseidon and Prometheus through the far wall, and then got absorbed by the Crystal. The Crystal pulsed. A faint, low hum reverberated through the police station. And then the Crystal collapsed into dust. A shockwave of red light ripped through the air and sent the villains and heroes tumbling. Scarlet Moon started to stand. The earth tilted underneath $herm, and the next $she knew, $she was laying on a roof, looking up at the clear blue sky.

$She heard the crisp slaps and squeals of a sound spanking and groggily raised $her head. Prometheus lay facedown over Bernice's knee, her pert bare bottom thrust into the air, her shorts around her ankles. She yelped and kicked as Bernice's hand collided repeatedly with her wiggling rump. Bright knelt next to her, Poseidon flung over her bare thigh. Poseidon's much larger ass was raised high, reddened chubby cheeks swallowing her tiny blue thong. She grunted and gasped as Bright's hand blurred, her pillowy buttocks rippling and bouncing under Bright's blurring palm. "Oh, hey you're awake," said Eclipse, who knelt nearby. "Are you ok?" Anklyana, who knelt on Scarlet Moon's other side, let out a sigh of relief. [["\"Erm, what happened?\""|s2ep1d2_police_station_round_3_heroism_2][$choice to 1]] [["\"Sorry.

<<if $choice == 1>> "You, blasted everyone to kingdom come and then, secure that you had saved the day, took a nap," said Eclipse. "Eclipse!" said Anklyana in exasperation. "This is serious." <<elseif $choice == 2>> Eclipse snorted into her hand. "Scarlet Moon, this is no time for jokes," said Anklyana, like a mother gently scolding her child. "What you did back there..." <<else>> "Helooo, earth to Moon," said Eclipse, patting Scarlet Moon on the head. "You there?" "Eclipse!" said Anklyana in exasperation. "Be gentle. $She could be hurt." "Oh, I'm sure $she's fine. Aren't you Moon?" asked Eclipse. "Maybe," said Anklyana. "I've never seen anything like that..." <</if>> The two exchanged nervous glances, Eclipse's worry now obvious despite her attempts to hide it behind humor. "Seriously Moon, what was that?" asked Eclipse. "I've never seen you put out that kind of power." <<link 'Shrug. "I dunno. Lost my temper I guess."'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Shrug. "I dunno.

Eclipse's eyes narrowed. She lifted Scarlet Moon's legs into the air, forcing Scarlet Moon's <<fat>> ass to lift a bit above the roof, $her <<costume "spandex-straining" "bare">> cheeks suddenly raised and vulnerable. Eclipse brought her hand down hard on Scarlet Moon's <<fat>> ass, the <<soft>> cheeks <<jiggling>> <<costume "under the tight spandex" "under Eclipse's palm.">> "No! There is no 'desperate enough.' Losing all your Glow could *kill* you. You get me? So you start feeling a little mad, start thinking maybe you're gonna blow a hole in a mountain, take a breath. Count to three. And *don't!*" Eclipse's hand rose and fell, her palm bouncing between Scarlet Moon's lifted cheeks, the <<soft>> buttocks <<jiggling>> with each sharp smack. Bright paused in her spanking of Poseidon and snickered. "Hasn't even been awake ten seconds, and already $she's getting $her rump roasted." <<link '"Oww! Oww! Ok! Ok! Stop!"'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "Oww! Oww! Ok! Ok! Stop!" squealed Scarlet Moon, wiggling and bucking on top of the roof. $She tried to pull $herself away, but $she had zero leverage, and $she was weak as a kitten besides. All $she could do was lie there on $her back and squeal as Eclipse's toasted $her taut tail. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link '"You shut up Bright!"'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> "You shut up Bright!" snapped Scarlet Moon. "I need you to focus here Scarlet Moon," said Eclipse as her hand repeatedly stung Scarlet Moon's wiggling bottom. "I need you to focus on *never* doing that again, you get me?" "But--" "Fine." Eclipse picked up the pace, her hand blurring, her palm cracking hard against Scarlet Moon's <<big>> bottom. "Then you'd better make sure it's *really* desperate, because if you survive, I swear to God I will spank you an hour everyday for a week. Get me?" "Alright, alright!" said Scarlet Moon, tears forming in $her eyes as $her <<fat>> cheeks <<jiggled>> and rolled under the onslaught. <</replace>> <</link>> <<link 'Grunt.'>> <<replace '#comment1'>> Eclipse's hand arced back and rocketed forward again and again, her palm sinking deeply into Scarlet Moon's <<fat>> cheeks. Each stroke sent a wave of hot pain washing over Scarlet Moon's bottom, and it wasn't long before tears started to prick $her eyes. "So, are we going to be a good $girl and *not* unleash all of our Glow into one big attack again?" asked Eclipse. Scarlet Moon nodded, grunting and gasping as Eclipse's hand made $her <<soft>> cheeks <<bounce>>. <</replace>> <</link>> "Very good." Eclipse released Scarlet Moon and stood. "Glad we got that sorted out." Scarlet Moon rolled onto $her side and rubbed $her bottom. [["Ouch. Ouchie, ouch ouch."|s2ep1d2_police_station_round_3_heroism_3]] [["Man, just my luck.

Scarlet Moon rubbed $her throbbing head as $she watched Bright and Bernice tan some suepervillain bottoms. Prometheus squealed and howled, swearing and bucking under Bernice's hand. "I'll get you Bernice! Oww! You'll see! Ahh!" Bright meanwhile, frowned in growing frustration as her hand blurred, making Poseidon's plushy rump dance, but eliciting barely more than the occasional squeak from the villain. "Come on, yelp some would you? You're ruining all the fun!" "This isn't supposed to be fun," said Eclipse. Bright scoffed. "Please. I've seen your smirk when you've got Moon or Anklyana over your knee." "That is a smirk of satisfaction. Satisfaction at discipline being dispensed and an important lesson learned," said Eclipse, crossing her arms over her large breasts. "Uh huh. Totally." "Oh hush, and hurry up already." "What's the rush?" asked Bright, her voice pitched to be heard over Prometheus' squeals and the crisp slap of hands on bare skin. Eclipse's eyes flared briefly. "The two SPANK Agents are on their way. We're all barely standing, and I don't trust them not to try something." "Ah, yeah. Good reason." Bright leaned forward and her hand all but disappeared, so fast did it move. Finally, Poseidon howled and kicked her feet as her chubby bottom suddenly started bouncing and wobbling madly, seemingly on its own. The slaps of Bright's hand on her bare skin came so fast they blurred together into a single continuous buzzing. Bright pushed Poseidon off her lap, who rolled around on the ground, holding her bottom and gasping. "Right. All done. Let's go!" Bright was gone. Eclipse cocked an eyebrow. She picked up Anklyana, and lifted into the air. "Can you manage Moon?" [["\"I'm right behind you.\""|s2ep1d2_police_station_wrapup]] [[Nod.|s2ep1d2_police_station_wrapup]] <<set $keyword_s2ep1_scarlet_moon_scary_powerful to true>>

A while later, Scarlet Moon, Eclipse, Anklyana and Bright arrived on the roof of the library halfway across town. <<if $keyword_s1ep1_prometheus_poseidon_victorious>> All four took a moment to rub their smarting bottoms, wiggling and hissing as exposed, reddened cheeks rippled and jiggled under gingerly rubbing fingers. "Ok, that could have gone better," said Anklyana. "Oh man, really?" asked Bright sarcastically. She lifted her goggles and wiped a few lingering tears from her eyes. "You mean things can go //better// than getting our asses beat by a couple of bimbos in the police station basement? Man, I thought that was as good as it gets." "Be nice Bright," said Eclipse sharply. "It was a bad day for all of us." Bright's fist clenched for a moment, then she turned away with a scowl. "Fine. But this is gonna be all over the news. Scarlet Moon and comnpay get their fat asses beat at the police station by Poseidon and Prometheus! Here's a long diatribe from Chief Napier about how much they suck and how his only problem with the whole thing is that he wasn't the one doing the beating--" "My dad wouldn't say that," said Anklyana hotly. "Anklyana! Avoid personal identifying--" began Eclipse. "Oh come on! He says it every chance he gets," said Bright, stomping over to loom over Anklyana. Anklyana however put her hands on her hips and glared right back. "Maybe not in so many words. But we all know he's secretly rooting for the supervillains--" "You take that back!" said Anklyana. "Or whatcha gonna do? Protect me?" asked Eclipse snottily. "//Not// protect you!" said Anklyana, stomping her foot and sending ripples across her exposed, pink, pillowy rump. "Next time we're fighting some bad guy you'll be all 'Anklyana protect me!' and I'll be all 'Protect your own damn self!' What do you think of that you glass-jawed skank?" Eclipse's eye twitched. Ten minutes later, Bright hopped around the roof, clutching her freshly sizzling thong-framed buttocks. Anklyana lay draped over Eclipse's thigh, bucking and kicking as Eclipse rained down hard, stinging smacks on her large, doughy, raised butt cheeks. "I've had enough out of you both," said Eclipse as her hand made Anklyana's chubby cheeks ripple and dance. "Bright, much as some of us may not especially like the police chief, he is dealing with something utterly without precedent. And we //are// technically vigilantes. So cut him some slack. Anklyana, I do not want to ever hear you threaten to sabotage a team member while we're fighting a supervillain again. Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear?" Eclipse emphasized the last question with hard, bum flattening smacks to Anklyana's soft, curvy sitspots. The girl howled and kicked wildly. "Yes Eclipse! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" "Very good." Eclipse let Anklyana up. Anklyana joined Bright in hopping around the roof, rubbing her bright red bottom and mewling. <<else>> "Ahhh," said Eclipse, putting her hands on her hips. "I love the smell of victory in the morning. Or well, afternoon I guess." Anklyana made a face. "You do realize that the original quote comes from a movie character whose waxing poetic about the brutal burning of other human beings with flaming napalm right?" Eclipse puffed out her cheeks. "Well, erm. Yes. Uhh. Point is, the bad guys are captured, the day is won. We are awesome, as always." Anklyana rolled her eyes. Eclipse stuck her tongue out at Anklyana, then both burst into a fit of giggles. "Oh come on you two. Have some dignity," said Bright in exasperation. "Dignity's for boring people," said Anklyana. <</if>> "Anyway, whose up for ice cream?" asked Eclipse, clapping her hands. "My treat." [["\"I love ice cream.\""|s2ep1d2_wrapup]] [["\"Now, that's something I can get behind.\""|s2ep1d2_wrapup]] [[Shrug.|s2ep1d2_wrapup]]

That evening, the four lounged in their dorm room, too tired to do much of anything, but watch the local news drone on about their confrontations with Prometheus and Poseidon. "How on earth do they make it sound so boring?" asked Natalie. "Fireballs. Ice jets. People getting punted through walls, and they're making it sound like a soccer mom catfight at the local Pee Wee game." "I'm sure it was more exciting if you were there," said Juliana with a grin. "I suppose--" began Natalie. Alex suddenly groaned. "Aww crap. I just remembered I got an exam tomorrrow." Natalie smirked. "I'm already done with all of mine." "Rub it in jerk." "What subject?" asked Juliana. "History." "Pff. Didn't your mother teach you how to spout eloquent nonsense? That's all you need to get through a freshman History course." Alex squirmed uneasily in her chair. "Tried that in class once. The professor saw right through it. She, uhh, didn't appreciate it." "Oh." "Yeah." "Well, good luck?" Alex sighed. "I'm so screwed." "Well, look on the bright side. Even if you fail miserably and have to drop out, least you still got your mom's money to fall back on," said Juliana. Alex shuddered. "Yeah at the small price of spending every morning over Clemency's knee. Good job Juli. Now I'm even more worried." [["\"Such is the sacrifice we make to keep Generica safe!\""|s2ep1d2_end][$choice to 1]] [["\"Well, do your best, and if you bomb it, we'll take you out for ice cream.\""|s2ep1d2_end][$choice to 2]] [[Say nothing.|s2ep1d2_end][$choice to 3]]

<<if $choice is 1>> "$name. Shut up," said Alex. <<elseif $choice is 2>> Alex groaned again. "Don't get me wrong, that sounds great. But if this keeps up, my ass is gonna be as big as <<bodytype 'Juliana\'s.' 'the rest of yours.'>>" <<else>> Alex sighed. "Ah well. Think I'll just go to bed.

!Scarlet Moon: Eclipse Rising <<pinup "https://www.spankingrpgs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/scarlet_moon_thong_bikini.webp" "Scarlet Moon, a redhead superheroine in a red and white thong bikini." >> <<linkreplace "Rules">> This is a gamebook, a choose-your-own-adventure with some rules to make the game more interesting than a straight multiple choice. While your character does have a goal (stop bad guys), there aren't any game overs or "good" or "bad" ends. So, feel free to do something stupid! Just don't be surprised if you have trouble sitting afterwards. The game has four stats: //Power//, //Craftiness//, //Charm//, //Heroism//. // Power - How powerful you are at the moment. This measures how effective you are at superhuman physical actions like punching enemies through walls, lifting heavy objects, dodging bullets and the like. Could also be thought of as your current levels of Glow, the name your group has given the force that fuels your powers. // Craftiness - How good you are at coming at problems sideways, misleading targets, delivering precise blows, that sort of thing. Could also be thought of as "mental energy." // Charm - How good you are at getting people to do what you want at the moment. Could also be thought of as "social capital." // Heroism - How heroic you are. A measure of how many times you've thrown yourself into danger, made sacrifices for the greater good, that sort of thing. //Power//, //Craftiness// and //Charm// are your core stats. //Heroism// is special. As you play, the game will periodically offer you the option to make stat checks. For example: //Scarlet Moon lands on the sidewalk in front of the young woman running down the sidewalk, stolen purse in hand. "Halt right there thief!" The young woman sneered. "Make me." [[Power: Fire a scarlet beam at the thief's face.|s2ep1d1_test]] [[Craftiness: Fire a scarlet beam next to her foot, angled to make her trip into a garbage can.|s2ep1d1_test]] [["Charm: \"I don't want to hurt you. Why don't you tell me why you're stealing purses from nice old ladies? Maybe I can help.\""|s2ep1d1_test]]// If you click on a choice with a stat in front of it, the game will perform a //stat check// using that stat. A random number between 1 and 6 will be generated, and the stat will be added. If the result is 6 or greater, you pass. Otherwise you fail. In both cases, the chosen stat will decrease by 1. If you pass, something good for your character happens, and you can choose one other core stat to increase by 1. If you fail, something bad will happen, and the game will randomly increase one of your other core stats by 1. For example, suppose Scarlet Moon chooses to beam the thief in the face. Her current Power is 1, Craftiness and Charm are both 2. The game generates a 5, and adds 1, giving a 6. That's a pass! Then, the following happens: //Scarlet Moon fires a pencil-thin beam at the running thief, striking her in the face. The girl staggers, dazed. Scarlet Moon grabs her, and takes the purse from limp fingers. The old lady runs up and takes her purse. "Oh, thank you for getting my purse back from that riff-raff Scarlet Moon! You truly are a wonderful hero. Here, let me bake you some cookies." ''Scarlet Moon's Power decreases.'' [[Increase craftiness.|s2ep1d1_test]] [[Increase charm.|s2ep1d1_test]]// At this point, Scarlet Moon's Power will now be 0, and either Scarlet Moon's Craftiness or Charm will be 3, depending on the choice the player makes. Alternatively, suppose the game generates a 4, and adds 1, giving a 5. Not high enough! Then, this happens: //Scarlet Moon unleashed a powerful scarlet beam, striking the thief in the face, and sending her flying backwards, skidding across the sidewalk. The old lady stared aghast. She checked the girl's pulse, then grabbed her purse. She started rooting around in it. "What is wrong with you, you stupid girl? You're lucky you didn't kill her!" "But, she stole your--" "Purse snatching is not a killable offense! Come here you reckless brat!" The old lady pulled a heavy wooden hairbrush out of her purse and charged Scarlet Moon. "Wait--Owww! Ahh! Aiiii!" ''Scarlet Moon's Power decreases.'' ''Scarlet Moon's Craftiness increases.''// In this case, Scarlet Moon got in trouble with the old lady she was trying to help. Since she failed the check, the game chose one of her other two core stats (//Craftiness// or //Charm//) at random and increased it by 1. Scarlet Moon's Power is now 0, while her Craftiness is 3. I guess this little adventure is making Scarlet Moon a bit wiser. //Heroism// checks work just like the others, except it //only// increases when the game says so. The player can never choose to increase it, nor will it increase randomly. Furthermore, a stat will never go below 0. There is no upper limit. A core stat check can still be attempted if it's 0, however you need at least one point in //Heroism// to attempt a //Heroism// check. <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Canon">> The first //Scarlet Moon// has a myriad possible paths to move through, some quite different from each other (i.e. the three romances), many indistinguishable. All of those are considered "canon," each one taking place in an alternate universe. This game takes place in a universe where Scarlet Moon didn't hook up with David. Scarlet Moon *may* have dated Natalie (Anklyana) or Tania (Midnight). The player will receive an opportunity to continue these romances within the first two episodes of the game. Sorry to anyone who was a fan of David. Unlike the others, he isn't really integrated into the superheroing, so it would be very difficult to integrate him into the game in a way that makes sense for players who aren't romancing him. <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Character Customizations">> The game provides a wealth of character customization options from gender to bodytype to the clothing you're wearing. These can be freely modified at any time (yes, including gender, however NPC's will not comment on such changes). These will have minimal impact on the story, but may influence the text in small ways. The most obvious of course is which pronouns the game uses to refer to your character. Spanking scenes will typically take your clothing into account, and perhaps even hairlength. Descriptions of other characters may take in your height, etc. Sometimes, the game will automatically set your clothing to something you otherwise don't have access to (like your costume). If you change your clothing when that happens you will //not// be able to change it back. Clothing options are not restricted in any way by gender. If you want your male PC running around in a skirt, that's fine. People aren't going to comment on it though (sissification and related fetishes aren't really a part of the game). [[Go here if you want to edit your name, physical appearance, gender, and costume|customization]]. You can change these things later by following the "Other Customizations" link just under the clothing options on the left. <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Costumes">> Under the Other Customizations link to the left, you can pick one of the following costumes. Note that the default costume is the spandex, and the costume will default to spandex whenever the PC's gender changes. Nonetheless, you are free to change your costume to whichever suits your fancy. Nobody will comment on a female Scarlet Moon with her breasts hanging out, or a male Scarlet Moon in a bikini. bikini: A white and red long-sleeved bikini top and red thong bikini bottoms. A black and gold mask, and thigh-high red boots complete the costume. speedo: A red thong speedo. A pair of red boots, some gloves, and a red domino mask complete the costume. spandex: A long-sleeved, skintight red and grey spandex shirt and pants with a red crescent moon emblazoned on the chest. A large black mask with a red crescent moon on the forehead covers the upper half of Scarlet Moon's face. <</linkreplace>> Now, we can [[start the game!|eclipse start]]
