Scene: Liberty is flying up near the top of a cavernous building holding on to a tremendously large and heavy object by a rope that is starting to fray under the stress. Underneath the object bound spread eagle on the floor is Gina Landry. (The rules prohibit any heroine-in-bondage stuff. They say NOTHING about prohibiting heroine's-best-friend-in-bondage however... ;pbbbbbt), The loose end of the rope is cleanly cut and the picture makes it clear that the object was released seconds before and Liberty has barely managed to get a hold of the rope at the last second.

Due to it's bulk, it can't be swung out of the way, too many pipes and support beams in the way. The roof is solid steel. Even setting the object down gently would pancake Landry.

Liberty (thought balloon) It'd take too long for me to tear out the roof, but if I don't move this out of here, Gina will DIE!

Caption: SWEET rights and privileges! How did poor Liberty get trapped in such a perilous situation????

Page 2 Panel 1:

Top Caption: It started in the hidden lair of those arch fiends Mister Unreal and Sister Unreal.

Page 2 Panel 3:

Scene: Close up of Sister Unreal

Sister Unreal: It was a setup man! One of the sellers was a #$%@ing NARK Man! Freddie tried flying off when the heat went crazy on him but that Libby chick swooped down and decked him.

Page 2 Panel 4:

Scene to get away from the talking head syndrome, POV from the ceiling as Mr. Unreal stands up from his chair in outrage.

Mr. Unreal: We gotta do something about that fox. Not only is she cramping our style, we OWE Carl for unfreezing us*. Besides man, the stupid *$#@ works with the NARKS!

Sister Unreal: Yeah well what do you think we ought to do about it then?

Page 4 Panel 3: Scene: Talking heads between the two Unreals. Mister Unreal is concentrating a bit 'seeing' through his illusions.

Mister Unreal: "Careful man, she knows how far my range is and is looking for us."

Page 4 Panel 4: Scene: Liberty is flying over the region, aside from the hippie decorated van of the villains, the cars in the area are reasonably modern.

Liberty: (Thought Balloon) *There is a super-powered hippy villain somewhere near here. WHERE?"

Page 4 Panel 5: Scene: Liberty has made her Notice Obvious roll and is swooping down on the two villain's vans. Sister Unreal is flying up at our heroine.

Page 4 Panel 6: Scene: Combat. Sister Unreal is entangling Liberty in her case hardened hasish cement attack.

Sister Unreal: "Now you're gunna pay for playing footsie with the pigs, man! You put our peoples in jail, we're gunna stomp you for it!!!"

Liberty: (Thought Balloon) The scent of this stuff is... narcotic. Must hold breath and hope my bullet resistant skin resists this horrible chemical's penetration factor!)

Page 4 Panel 7: Scene: Liberty smashes out of the entangle and P O W S Sister Unreal halfway across the street!

Page 5 Panel 1 Scene: The illusionary supervillain, who provides Mr. Unreal the POV for his clairvoyance stares at Gina, who has made her way from the apartment to the battle scene. Same Panel insert: Mister Unreal's eyes light up in recognition

Mister Unreal: "Hey I saw that chick before Man.*

Caption *He sure did true-faithed ones! Gina was there back in "The Further Adventures of Real Adventures #1's first sequel" Gold foil cover #1. Serious Developing Action SDA

Page 5 Panel 2 through 5: Scene: Combat lots of cat fight combat with Liberty getting the best of the villainess but not quite being able to knock her out.

Page 5 Panel 6: Scene: Mister Unreal has made himself invisible and has snuck up on Gina. Getting behind her he smacks her in the head rendering her unconscious and immediately turns her invisible too. A couple of people see it and are confused, most are too busy watching the fight.

Page 6 Panel 1 Scene: More combat, Sister Unreal is getting shellacked now. Sister Unreal: "You lousy Pig! Ooooooooooooooooooofffffffffff!"

Page 6 Panel 2 Scene: An obvious illusion of Mister Unreal appears next to the hapless not so high priestess. Illusion: "Time for you to bail babe, plan just changed." Liberty: "What makes you think I'll let her get away?"

Page 6 Panel 3 Scene: Over a dozen perfect illusions of Sister Unreal appear and mix in around her. Sister Unreal and all of the illusions suddenly fly away in differing directions.

Illusion: "Lets just say when it's time for this chick to split, she SPLITS!" (mocking laughter)

Page 6 Panel 4 Scene: Liberty makes up for her earlier failure to spot the hippy van by chasing after the real Sister Unreal, and grabs her by the ankle.

Liberty: "You made your dupes TOO good my friend. They're costumes aren't torn or fight-damaged.

Page 6 Panel 5:

Scene: The illusion of Mister Unreal gets a bit bigger and more transparent and his face contorts with rage. Liberty holds the captive Sister Unreal by her ankle the way a fisherwoman might hold a prize trout on a line.

Illusion: "You vile Nixonoid! LET HER GO or..."

Page 6 Panel 6 scene: variation the prior panel, with an image of Gina suddenly appearing Illusion: "I'll *play* with my new friend here."

Liberty: "Ok, don't hurt her. I'm letting her go."

Page 7 Panel 1: Scene: Sister Unreal flying off in the distance, Mister Unreal's image fading out Illusion: "First I gotta bandage all them boo boos you gave my woman. After that you stick around here honey and I'll send an illusion along to tell you what you got to do to get your girlfriend back.

Page 7 Panel 2 Scene: Liberty lands at the corner and waits. To her left ten feet away, he's invisibly standing by, the still unconscious body of Gina draped invisibly over his shoulder. He's pointing at her and silently laughing at her. Liberty (thought balloon) He's close by to be able to send that illusion but he can make himself look like anyone here.

Page 7 Panel 3 Scene close up on Liberty's worry ravaged face

Liberty (thought Balloon) If anything happens to Gina, I swear you two losers will never know another minute's peace!

Page 7 Panel 4 Time has passed. The sun has set. A creepy-looking heroin addict type approaches liberty and hands her a note.

Page 7 Panel 5 Scene Under the street lamp light the note reads "Don't speak to him. Follow this guy. He doesn't know where she is, he only knows where a note telling you where she is can be found. You will be watched by others. If we see pigs or other super nazis that other note gets burned long before he can get to it."

Page 7 Panel 6: Scene They've walked a few blocks and he gets to an out-of-order pay phone and gets the second note.

Page 8 Panel 1: Scene Reading the note, Liberty flies off at top speed, arriving at a shut-down factory.

Page 8 Panel 2: Crashing through the roof she sees Gina spread-eagled as per the splash page, and some automatic system cuts the rope!

Page 8 Panel 3: Scene: one scene after the splash page. Liberty (Thought Balloon) There's nothing I can do to stop this thing from falling! That's IT! It can't fall faster than Gravity can pull it but I CAN!

Page 8 Panel 4 Scene: Liberty lets the rope go and flies down faster than the object can fall gets under it, catches it and throws it away.

Page 8 Panel 5 Scene: Liberty is on the floor next to Gina bending down. Gina's right arm is free after Liberty obviously took the rope in two hands and ripped it apart.

Gina: "I can untie myself. They're in the next room. Stop them!"

Page 8 Panel 6 Scene: The next room, ripped to pieces after a battle that leaves Mister & Sister Unreal laid out cold and Liberty standing triumphantly over them. Gina, untied has entered and between rubbing her wrist is looking for something.

Liberty: "Gina, you shouldn't have come in here while I was fighting!" Gina: "Hah. They were finished by the time I got my feet untied. But they didn't feed me while I was a captive and I KNOW stoners like them have to have munchies around. Ah. Here they are."

Final Panel:

Scene: A circle around Gina who is holding up several of the confections you KNOW *HAS TO BE* associated with a story like this.

Gina: "Look at all the Fruit Pies!"
