Adventure: DoomBreaker (Urr 1) 
Ellipsis suddenly finds himself in a steel-walled enclosure, he knows not where.  Only the Mighty Tim could have done this! Where is he? 
The mind of Ellipsis casts out.  But within all his range he can only find one human mind - a mind unfamiliar to him.  And he was in New York City five seconds ago! He was fighting those who slew his love! Where the hell is he now - Tierra del Fuego? 
(The transport room confirms:  the second Earth power-creature is acquired.  The captain orders departure from Earth orbit.)
Ellipsis decides to find the human, and bursts through the roof of his enclosure.  He blazes through dozens of hallways and similar enclosures, some containing alien forms.  An alien base on Tierra del Fuego! But if he can find the human outside the base, he can leave this place and resume his justice in New York.  
(The ship’s crew are now reacting to alarm klaxons which are inaudible to human – or even mutant human -ears.  The structure of the ship is in danger – and, according to their monitors, the newer power creature is not showing rational thought pattern.  Perhaps these creatures’ minds are not all alike?)
Ellipsis soon finds the human mind he sensed.  He looks around: he is still within the alien base, in a plush padded chamber.  Then the human he has found must be the guiding intellect behind the aliens on Earth! And - in league with the Mighty Tim who must have brought him here to-Tierra del Fuego! What kind of plot has he uncovered? 
(Several aliens are within the chamber with the other human: a young Irish woman with short orange hair, wearing a green body suit.  Surprised, they are all silent.) 
Brusquely, Ellipsis slices into the other human's mind to find what he must know.  But nothing within conforms to what is expected.  Can he no longer trust reality and his six senses? 
(The aliens within the chamber prepare their thought-wave device to turn upon the white power creature.  They know the device works: it allowed them to communicate with the green power creature.  But before they can activate it -)
Ellipsis must know! Once more he goes through the roof.  Up! Up! Up! - he finally bursts out of the top of the alien base.  
He's in deep space now.  The earth is no longer visible.  
(The aliens are worried now.  Sliding metal plates sealed the breaches in the outer chambers, but the membrane of the inner- chambers must grow back slowly or be transplanted, Will the thought waves work on the creature at this range?) 
Ellipsis is now in despair.  Perhaps the other human (if -she?- really existed) can help him determine reality.  Otherwise he can only wander space and hope that if he's hallucinating, he'll wake up.  
It’s a hard decision.  But he finally turns around, flies through the ship walls once more, and collapses at the girl’s feet.
For a moment he begins to stand, to tell her he needs help.
No.  If his senses-will not conform to his reality, he must ignore one or the other.  It must be his senses: the reality of what happened to him and to his-love in New York is too important to ignore.  He sinks back to the floor in a fetal position, insensate.
Molly Fitzgerald (the Irish woman taken by the aliens) knows little about this other- human, but she has felt his anguish.  She says to the aliens, in a mild Irish accent, "Can you not help this poor man somehow?" The aliens, gathering her intent, raise their thought wave projectors and fire them at Ellipsis.  
Stephen Wolcott is reliving the events which separated him from his love, and the retribution he was on the verge of gaining when his reality shatter.  But he is now under the projected influence of six alien minds.  Intermingled with his dreams now are visions of galactic doom and conquest, and the image of the being which is responsible.  Stephen sees the final wrath of Ellipsis now upon that being, instead of those who took his love.  He rises, screaming, "The nightmares!' 
Molly runs to his side, while the aliens quickly back off. 
Stephen says, 'Now the nightmares are disrupting my very reality ••• and I cannot even deter-mine what to believe.  What am 1 to do?" 
Molly responds, "Believe the poor aliens ••• their worlds are in danger.”  She tells him the story the aliens told her…

Far away, an evil being named Urr gained the power to restructure physical laws, one at a time.  Another might have used this power for the sake of the universe, but this villain struck against the universe.  
Worlds which opposed Urr were suddenly swallowed by their suns gone nova.  No fleet or fortress could stand a9ainst him, and the few warriors who could penetrate the armada of his followers could not stop him.  Among his victims, he gained the name DoomBringer.  
For- that reason a group of worlds in the villain's path sought for creatures of power who could fight against the villain.  Scout cruisers scattered across the galaxy in the search.  
The search has been in vain so far-.  Few worlds had creatures as powerful as an average superhero, and even fewer could provide beings with the power to contend against Urr for even a moment.  (Here Molly's voice falters ••• ) Only the two most powerful beings on Earth were chosen.  
 Stephen notices the change in Molly's tone and the emotions behind it.  He keeps silence as Molly pauses.  Molly cries out- "I'm not powerful - just lucky!" After another pause, she continues.  
She is only a gymnast, a daughter of a shopkeeper and his devoted wife.  When she was a child, all those around her swore she'd never be graceful.  But she saw a gymnastics show once, and she decided she had to be like them.  And somehow she was.  
She made it onto a gymnastics team which tour-ed all Ireland, even the British section of Ulster.  On a street in Londonderry she saw a man toss a grenade at police; it arced toward a group of children instead.  
She knew she had to save them somehow.  And somehow she did.  The grenade refused to explode until she scooped it up and tossed it impossibly high into the air.  At that moment she disappeared.  
When she reappeared that time, it was for some insane contest between a galactic Elder and Death itself, waged through superhuman pawns.  Nolly was put against the legendary Captain America in an effort to find a golden prize first.  And somehow she won.  
Stephen thinks: "Captain America"? 
[Author's Note: Yes, this is the infamous Shamrock, Ireland's Lucky Lassie, a representative heroine from the Marvel Contest of Champions (originally titled, "Marvel Super Heroes at the Moscow Olympics·).  Somebody might as well save her from oblivion in the Marvel Universe ..• J 
[Author's Note 2010:  Marvel Comics has since seen fit to give her a different origin.  She's a hairdresser and a poltergeist to tormented dead war victims, but she's still in oblivion.  Let's just run with this version of the origin.  If need be, we can call her “Irish Rose”or something.]
The contest ended, but life went on.  Her luck seemed incredible - even inhuman.  The market always had fresh vegetables when she went shopping, even when people half an hour before found only half-rotten ones.  She always found a bus waiting for her at the station,- 
A few old crones whispered, ·Witchcraft! Mutant!· Were they right? 
But even as she found self-doubt, her luck came through. As her gymnastics team toured America, her powers once came forth openly, throwing hoodlums stumbling from before her as they harassed her behind a stadium in San Francisco, As it happened, she sank to her knees.  
The city seemed to change.
As in response, the Image of a man came to her and reassured her.  When she Kile I t before him, he brought her to her feet and claimed himself to be an average person, like her.  When she doubted, he showed himself in the flesh.  He is now one of her finest friends. 
(Stephen thinks to himself: He once met a boy who called himself Image.  Could this be the same man?) 
The whole world has changed for her! The heroes she heard of as a girl are gone now.  And so is the hatred they seemed to draw from humanity.  Only a few people have powers now.  
And now she has disappeared again.  But this time, those who look her truly need anyone who can help.  
But she's not sure she can! She's not powerful, only lucky! 
Stephen doubts the reality of her two stories, but they have touched him nonetheless, Since no reality exists for him anyway, he goes along with her.  
The ship travels for about a week without incident.  A high priority of the alien computer control is to analyze the white power being - Ellipsis - and determine what may be done to make him rational and functional.  
Stephen spends most of his time vegetating, with his mind at a fraction of normal speed; he only eats once every two or three days.  Molly once sees him looking out a porthole and muttering, Not real! Not real!' Can he not accept this? Is he too crazy to, or has he simply not had her... unreal experience? What is behind this man? 
Stephen Wolcott has finally chosen to abandon his mental self-control.  His time is spent in something like the nightmares he's always feared.  But his mind still goes on.  Indeed, he now knows more about his current condition, in which his body and mind is subjected to the Ellipsis Field, than ever before.
Finally, the ship arrives at its designated base, behind the front line against the conqueror Urr.  But alarm klaxons sound: the base is already under enemy control! The lone scout is surrounded; it must fight! 
Stephen is finally roused by Molly, who brings him to the bridge.  He recklessly changes to Ellipsis and flies off to battle - through the ship chamber walls.  
Molly is horrified.  All action on the ship suddenly stops, while Ellipsis finds himself dragged back to the bridge.  Molly yells at him, ·”Out the airlock, you spa!" (“Spa” = “klutz” = “one without coordination”.)  Ellipsis is at a loss to comprehend what just happened; the aliens automatically attribute it to the power within the green-clothed being.
Properly chastised, Ellipsis runs with the aliens to the nearest airlock and then goes to battle.  His power swiftly destroys the enemy ships, one by one, as he flies within each one and explodes.  
As each ship is destroyed Molly concentrates (they can't all die!).  Each being within each ship is drawn to the scout, unable to breathe but also not needing to.  The warriors at the airlocks gather a horde of prisoners by the time Ellipsis returns. 

The friendly alien commanders are in heated debate.  Where are the rest of the fleet? We don't know! 
How can we contend-against the DoomBringer without the rest of our fleet? We can: the power creatures who travel with our scout craft certainly seem able to contend-against six times their cardinality in battle craft; with luck, they can penetrate to the DoomBringer himself! Besides, what other path-taking do we have? 
But we should discover the fate of the rest of our worlds before proceding!  Simple:  make the prisoners give knowledge!
About the prisoners: how can the ship support all their lives? Well ...  the scanners display an un-lived but barely livable planetoid in the system.  We can place them there with some supplies.  If they are industrious, they will survive until we return.  If we return.
But the Fleet had a plan for the beings of power! We are only improvising! But if our base here no longer exists, the Fleet must be more than 1/6-taken and is in great retreat.  If interrogation of the prisoners does not show otherwise, we must confront the conqueror ourselves. 
Thus the fleet decides its action.. After the prisoners yield all they know, they are dumped upon the planetoid.  The scout craft then goes backward into the league of worlds to confront Urr where he now wages his war.  
The enemy's armada is besieging the world of Polona.  The scout craft emerges behind the blockade.  The craft, linked to the decision of its commanders, streaks toward the enemy command ship.  The enemy is confounded: this is not logic! 
But as the rearguard elements of the armada move against the lone craft, it spits power.  An element of matter coated with a thin layer of energy and gaseous plasma streaks through each ship at will - as if it were alive! Invariably it cripples propulsion and weapons systems, while life support systems are apparently left functional.  How can its aim be so infallible - and why would an enemy bother to make it so? 
At Molly's urging, Stephen has allowed the aliens in their craft to link him with their computer database on enemy ships.  The computer feeds him the information on each craft as he approaches it, and he cripples it unerringly.  But it is a strain: why let an enemy live? 
(Incidentally, though he knows it not, his archfoe Dominatra thought the same thought on the night she killed his teammate Captain Gonzo.) 
The craft still comes unerringly at the enemy command ship.  Urr himself has noticed by now.  As his underlings utter disclaimers, Urr says, "Do not worry.  Let it come.  I am intrigued." Thus the planetwide attack of Urr continues unabated, while the scout craft proceeds to the very perimeter of Urr's ship.  
The aliens on the bridge of the scout craft fulfill their functions now.  Devices on the scout craft's exterior are turned upon the porthole which the craft approaches, to force it to open.  But the porthole stays closed.  
Ellipsis, in space, suddenly gets a message over his computer link which he does not mentally understand.  
Nonetheless, he suddenly plunges inside the enemy ship and emits a certain jamming frequency.  The porthole opens.  
A team of heavily armed warriors charges out of the scout through the porthole.  With them is Molly Fitzgerald, in her 'Shamrock" bodysuit beneath the space armor she was given.  (The aliens are all convinced she wields great power, and she believes them - almost.  She put her suit on figuring it might bring her extra luck.) 
Soon the warriors run into opposition, but when things get roughest, Molly stops all action and forces the enemy aside.  When action resumes, the team subdues the enemy easily.  
Ellipsis, in concert with the team via his computer link, neutralizes all ship's defenses on the way to Urr's bridge.  He arrives slightly ahead of the team to confront Urr the conqueror.  
Urr awaits the intruders.  He says to Ellipsis, 'Prove your power." Ellipsis responds with a force bolt which could easily crumble a six-story building - assuming the bolt were less concentrated.  Urr replies, "Is that it?" 
Ellipsis quadruples his assault.· Urr turns it back upon him.  Ellipsis falls to the floor.  The warriors fire their guns.  hey backfire also.  
Molly tries her power as a conscious act for the first time.  With it she slams Urr against a wall; as action resumes! the warriors charge.  Urr slams them back.  
As Ellipsis looks up, he sees Urr bragging.  Urr says, 'You are like so many others who opposed me.  And like them, you shall fail." 
Ellipsis says) ·Never!" He rises to the air and attacks with physical force enough to crumble a small mountain - and with powerful mental force as well.  Urr is staggered.  The warriors charge once more.  
Urr says,  'Ha!' Ellipsis and the warriors are thrown back-once more.  Urr continues, "It only surprised me.  You shall have to attain more surprise than that before you can defeat me, though.' 
Ellipsis replies, 'Then damned Have more surprise!· He shoots a bolt of pure antimatter at Urr.  
Urr assembles enough matter to neutralize the bolt, dissipates the resultant energy - and keeps the ship in one piece as he does so! 
Ellipsis is stymied; that was as much antimatter as he could shoot in one bolt! As far as he knows, he's never used antimatter as a bolt weapon before! (He's right.) The enemy should have been surprised! 
Urr says, 'Very well, you cannot win at all.  Now die.' He points at Ellipsis.  The field of Ellipsis begins to consume him.
Molly says, 'NO!· and her power to restructure reality contends directly with Urr's power to restructure physical laws.  
Urr laughs as his power wins his goal.  Ellipsis is consumed.  
The warriors alongside Molly have one trick left: they each twist a dial on their gauntlets.  The ship around them begins to self-destroy.  
Urr responds, 'You jest.  Your gauntlets shall no longer work.' The damage is arrested.  Urr continues, “In fact, your gauntlets did no darnage.” The damage is repaired as Urr turns time back for the ship and its equipment.  
Time has been turned back.  Ellipsis, though without a body, is still somehow conscious.  In this state he somehow perceives the computer data which the aliens acquired on him.  
His body should not have been consumed - his field doesn't consume living organic matter! Urr must have changed physical laws to make this happen! 
However, when changed, physical laws can work both ways.  When consumed, organic matter can be recreated.  Ellipsis now has ideas about how to recreate himself.  The aliens obtained computer data about his body; that gives him the statistics he needs. 
A few structural changes to his (former) body - especially to the nervous system and to the lithium content in his cells - would enable him to totally adapt to his power, and use it with more efficiency.  And somehow his personal energy field is still active, and able to build organic matter! 
Ellipsis quickly rebuilds his body - with the changes.

Urr easily causes cramps in the bodies of those who still oppose him.  As they fall to the ground, he says, “You have totally lost.”
But a voice comes from behind him:  “Never!”
Ellipsis is reborn.
He grabs two of Urr’s legs – and drives him to his knees! 
Urr's tentacles squeeze Ellipsis as hard as they can - but Ellipsis resists! (Meanwhile, Ellipsis emits microwave beams.)
Urr staggers up against the new resistance of Ellipsis, and howls, “NO!· He fills his limbs with enough strength to throw his opponent back.  Ellipsis lands within the next chamber.  (Meanwhile, Ellipsis emits microwave beams.) 
Urr stands triumphant - finally! but then he doubles over in pain! Unnoticed by him, Ellipsis has been microwaving his entire torso - which is now on the brink of exploding! 
At that moment Ellipsis strikes with all the mental and electrical force at his possession.  Urr falls! 
The electrical power generated by Ellipsis quickly overloads the entire ship.  All lights, even backup systems, are now extinguished.  The status of life support systems aboard this ship of Urr's command is doubtful.
The boarding party is safe: Ellipsis with his power, the rest with their space armor.  But the enemy is in dire straits.  The lead warrior tells Molly through his thought wave device, "This is war.”  But Molly concentrates.  Nothing happens.  
Ellipsis notes her intent.  He probes the mind of an enemy technician who knows the life support system.  He then transfers that knowledge to Molly.  Emergency lights come back on, and air circulates! 

The enemy armada was concerned when they saw their command ship lose its power.  But the power came back on.  Now they wait for orders from Urr-.
Ellipsis, at the behest of his computer link, scrambles all their communications.  The remnant of the friendly fleet strikes from Polona against the invaders as Ellipsis strikes into space against the few who retreat.  The armada is destroyed!
The aliens keep Urr heavily drugged, and imprison him in preparation for a war crimes trial.  

Postlude: Molly finds Stephen after the battle, after the mask of Ellipsis is off.  She says, ·”You did wonderfully! ... far better than I.”
“But you saved my life!”
”?”
“Was it not you who let me live after Urr destroyed me?”
“I ... was it?" 
"As far as I could sense.”  A short silence.  
Molly asks, “Well, now we’ve won, what will you do?? 
"I am still not  certain what is my past reality and what is not.  But once we get back home, I SHALL CERTAINLY FIND OUT!"
