I was having a great night. My hot new girlfriend had invited me to this super exclusive party in King’s Row.  There were multiple kegs, open bar, and a smoking hot blues band.  I am not super into Blues, but they were incredibly good.  A lot of the lyrics (that I could hear) seemed to be really old classic blues stuff. 

Then the evening took a weird turn. This super cute short lady wanted to dance with me.  We were out on the floor when I noticed my girlfriend, and she seemed pissed.  Within seconds she had a couple “friends” throw me out! I think they were Hellions too! 

The super cute lady followed me out, she was sympathetic. I got her number, we talked. She wanted to kiss me!  Okay… I went with it.  The next thing I know she bit me.  Hard.  I passed out. 

I woke up to the party being raided by Longbow.  Turns out it was a Hellions party and they were in a pitched battle. But a Warden showed up, and the Hellions were knocked out or scattered. 

Longbow scraped me up, checked me out, and decided I was a villain!  Evidently the “Lady” was a vampire.  No matter what I said they ignored me.

They dropped me, and a lot of Hellions, off at the Zig.  I was still standing in the intake area when alarms blared everywhere.  An announcement said there was a jailbreak. 

It was chaos for about twenty minutes.  Doors, blown open, fights (everyone, no one seemed to have a “side” except the guards…)  I was trying to make it outside.  A guard tackled me.  I bit him…  I was so hungry!  I am not sure if he died.  Probably not…

As I made it outside I saw a number of prisoners getting into an Arachnos transport.  The only way out I could see.  I hopped in.  No one even seemed to care.

We arrived in Mercy pretty quick.  I was asked by an Arachnos guy in white armor if I was with Arachnos or against them.  I said with…  He scanned me.  “Interesting.” Was all he said.  He mumbled something into a comm.  Three Arachnos soldiers hauled me off.  After a short walk into a dark dark building I was told I have Mu blood, and that I was so fortunate.  Then they strapped me down and mummified me.  This was painful.  As they were casting a bunch of spells one of the Mu (I think the leader) said the process was not completing.  They scanned me a few more times and cast spells.  They decided I had no Mu blood, but had drunk the blood of someone with Mu blood.  That damn guard I thought.

One of the Arachnos scientists decided I could still be useful as a subject for Super Soldier Death Knights he has wanted to launch.  The Mus just abandoned me to him, now uninterested.

He has the guards haul me up to a different torure chamber/laboratory and starts pumping me full of strange green chemicals and casting spells.  He is magically bonding armor pieces to me for most of two hours.  The chemicals made me feel weird, the spells and the armor were torture. 

“Now for the Helm of Obedience.” The bastard laughed. He started to take off the funky helmet the Mu had put on me.  That sounded all wrong. I summoned all my strength and will and tried to break myself free.  When I accidentally on purpose shocked him it worked!

I ran out of the room, and up an elevator.  I found myself in a room with dozens of what looked like portals.  I jumped through one.  And ended up… I got no idea.  I do not think it is Paragon though.

Some party…
