Good... Sry I couldn't comment yesterday for personal reasons, but anywho... Time to get to the good stuff.
Yeah, L.A.S.E.R.s nowadays can easily punch through tanks these days. They fry electronics and make the people inside heat up dramatically, usually unto death. That is if the tank does not outright explode, of course. The ammunition will blow up even if they don't cause damage to the engine/fuel by some chance, if the heat is high enough. The fact that L.A.S.E.R.s fire instantaneously also allows multiple shots in multiple locations to occur within seconds, or even less, if the system allows it. It all depends on how the L.A.S.E.R. is created/fired, though, because the process will obviously take time, albeit a short period of time for modern L.A.S.E.R. weapons, such as the ones they mount on miltary 747 equivalents, or at least are thinking about doing... I am not sure if they have those actually equiped like that to go into combat, or if it is still in the military testing phases...
What's REALLY nasty is the idea of using a L.A.S.E.R. formed of Gamma radiation as a weapon. That could theoretically spur a nuclear fusion reaction... and the weapon itself would be spectacularly powerful alone. Just looking at Gamma radiation can permanently blind people, and direct contact with a target could instantaneously melt through it, and boil the flesh off living beings near the beam. That is a conservative estimate, btw. If the earth is hit by a short burst of gamma radiation from a star they pass in their course through the galaxy, IT could be vaporized... Let alone the possible damage to the sun if it is hit... Even I don't have a good guess as to what that would do...
The weapon that would create such a thing would have to be capable of annihilating atomic/subatomic particles, though, so the only thing likely to emit gamma radiation for military purposes in the next couple hundred years would be nuclear weapons, but still... Nasty concept.
Yeah. I was thinking that would happen soon (Demo being kidnapped). Pity I didn't think of them using a L.A.S.E.R. based weapon as... actually, I did, but I had favored nuclear weaponry, because you had stated that it was an explosive weapon. The villains originally said that, but I am almost certain you made the same statement in commentary, and didn't mention it being a guess, or what the villains had said, albeit you were being rather unclear, and I am too lazy to check that right now, because I want to actually get to working.
I doubt all the heroes don't suspect them being prepared. The smarter of them almost certainly do, and many probably despair, but many are yet most likely filled with hope for victory, especially with their retreating into their base leaving them less room to break through to execute their target, or rescue Demolicious.
You seem to be very good at integrating commentary into your story... Either that, or what I and others had said had already been thought up by you... Reactions, scenarios, ect.... Hard to believe, but that's just probabilities-wise. It is still entirely possible, and DANG, man, good for you if you did!!!
Yeah... nice of you to show your distrust of Death by mentioning your thinking he would go against his word and leave them dead. Death's cruel ironic touch has already skewed the scale of chance for good vs. evil dramatically in evil's favor with his making the war planned to end once one of the V.I.P.'s died... Especially if Lokos is as hard to kill as I think he'll be... I am betting he happens to have a healing factor, if not true immortality, at least... which makes me think it would be funny if he got his head chopped off, but was still alive, but it would also be sad... very sad.
Nice to see the villains fielded tanks as well, considerign they are obviously well funded and resourceful enough to have them...
Interesting personality you used for her...
Meh, I have no problem with using such effective means of combat you described as "methods only the most evil villains would dare even consider". So long as it's effective, especially with retribution involved... I used to torture people proffesionally, somewhat early in my carreer... Govornment work (not for SCIF, if any of you are wondering). You'd be suprised how major govornments don't care too much about torture when national security is involved... Then again, it depends on the people, since many human rights advocates insist it is a crime, even with all the lives saved. Fools... There should be some rule where international laws concerning torture are voided if certain circumstances are involved...
Oh, and yes, trauma such as what you did not describe but implied tends to emotionally wound somewhat. Brings all but the hardest wills to pitiful weakness...
... Sadly, I somewhat wanted the humvee she was in to be blown up... It would sort of give the story a dark sense of tragedy that would improve my oppinon of it quite a bit... not that I dislike it or anything, but I'm somewhat disapointed that you didn't describe your fighting to Demolicious... It would have helped to increase the tension, especially if, at the climax, you just barely were able to stop her execution by throwing the sword, like you did, but in a much more spectacular sounding way...
Nice to see that you and Un-Death had a nice fight. Also nice to see that you were seemingly defeated at the end until the distraction of the Villainous Weapon of DOOM...That shows the realistic fact that if you were not careful enough to dodge his attacks, you are still a machine, and they have limits. Your structuring is made of metal, and he has supernatural power. That gives him a greater potential strength, if not a definite one. It very much makes sense to me that that is the result, especially with someone who has the responsibility of forcing the dead to their fate as the opponent.
WOOOOT ICBM!!!!!!!
Momentum ftw, perhaps?
This makes me wonder if the heroes survived/how. I, of course could save them, considering a nuclear weapon is a great enough threat to "unlock" my greater powers, but I am wondering what you shall do about that, story-wise. Especially because DEMO was still with the heroes, unless they had left during your fight with Un Death?
