Re: RPG-Superhumans

"Alright then, we got a job to do Kaylene. Harry must be stopped." Tanis rose and extended his hand towards Kaylene.

She took it and smiled up at him. She rose and stood next to him, handing him the black bundle that was his cloak. He relaxed his body and closed his eyes. Kaylene never released his hand.

All the hair on his body fell off and he winced in agony. His eyes began to glow and his eyelids shot open. THey became pure light. Silver liquid was excreted through his pores and it covered his body, converting the flesh into metal. He exhaled and breathed deeply.

"Thank you." Chromium told Kaylene.

"Of course."

He looked down at his silver body wearing civilian clothes. Kaylene giggled. He took them off and draped them over his arm after putting on his thick black cloak. He took Kaylene in the other arm and looked around the park, checking to see if anyone had jsut seen what had transpired. No one.

He flew to the house they took the clothes from and he placed it back on the clothes line.

Then he grabbed Kaylene with both arms and he blasted into the sky, heading towards Mission City.

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Haze and Chromium landed only minutes later, back at Happy Harry's. They hadn't really discussed where they would meet up with the others.

"Drat, I should have said to meet back here." Haze said as she walked around some of the rubble.

"It's common ground, I'm sure they'll return." Chromium replied.

Then Haze had an idea, she could try calling Vandal telepathically. It was a long shot considering that she herself was not that powerful when it came to telepathy, but Vandal might still hear. Vandal, we're back at Harry's. Can you hear me?

There was a moments silence, Yeah I hear ya. We found ol' spiky. We're in a warehouse at the moment. It's odd though, no one's supposed to be here but I think someone's in the warehouse opposite. Vandal voiced back.

Should we come to you? Haze asked.

Nah, we've finished with Noxious for now. I think it best to try and track down Harry. Vandal replied.

Well you're the best one to do that. Haze told.

Yeah I know. Though Flame could be handy too. Vandal admitted. We'll meet you there, give us about 20 minutes. Vandal said.

Haze turned to Chromium, "They're coming, they'll be about 20 minutes. They said they've finished with Noxious. I can only assume he's going to help us."

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Although Desdemona did as Jack asked it kind of contradicted her reason for being there. If Void lived she would not reach her quota, at least not for a while. As Jack and Darklight squabbled Desdemona looked at Void, who was panting heavily as he tried to catch his breath, and then she looked at her own hand that was not nearly as translucent as it had been.

A crazy thought went through her head. If she killed Void than she could be human and stay with Jack. She quickly shook the thought away. To do such a thing was a breach against her contract with Death and there were worse fates out there than her own.

As Darklight suddenly began to comprehend what was going on, Void launched himself at Desdemona. His hands clutched her throat as he threw her against the concrete floor. Desdemona did not scream and not did she struggle. She felt no pain at Void's violence as her body returned to its ghost like form, she easily evaded his grasp until he realised the shadow within.

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Re: RPG-Superhumans

((Hey Net, whe you say realised do you mean come to the realization of the shadow within Desdemona or that he released the shadow within?  I'm going to go with realised.  I'll edit if you meant differently.))

Jack heard the shuffle and turned around to see Void in his human form slam Desdemona into the ground.  Jack was over there as fast as he possibly could have been and had Void smashed into the wall creating an indent in the cement.

"Touch her again and I kill you."

Something flickered in Void's eyes.  "Remember Jack, I go, he goes.  And look at this, poor little Jack has found someone to love.  How cute.  But it makes you wonder Jack, does she love you back?"

Jack did the first thing that came to mind.  He smashed Void's face into the ground.  Specks of blood formed on the pavement.  Jack bent over and whispered in his ear.

"Like I said.  Touch her and I will make you pay.  You know I can't kill you.  But myself being one who can withstand pain knows the thresholds of it within the human mind.  There are some fates worse than death Void."

Re: RPG-Superhumans

((It was supposed to be released, but hey realised works too))

Desdemona walked over to Jack as he held Void to the ground. Desdemona let her hand dematerialise enough that she could sink it through Void's outer surface and into his mind, "Jack doesn't lie. Let me show you the fate that awaits one such as you."

Desdemona gave Void a flash of his current future when he died. She let him see the way his soul would be sucked away into the depths of hell where he would receive tortures beyond his imagination. She also allowed him to feel a touch of the pain they'd inflict. She removed her hand before he passed out. "Remember that Terry." She said coldly.

"What did you do to him?" Darklight asked as he watched his brother twitch rapidly.

"As I said, I showed him what would happen to his soul if he stayed on his current path." Desdemona said.

"What are you?" Darklight asked.

"I'm a soul eater" Desdemona said.

Darklight immediately went on the defensive. "We met one of your buddies, his name is Drakeus."

"Drakeus is an agent of evil. I serve Death, I merely deliver the souls by being the vessel. Drakeus destroys them because he enjoys it." Desdemona said to clarify. "If Drakeus is loose then you must not let Void die. I can protect you while I'm in this state."

Darklight looked confused, "What happens to you if Void dies?"

"I collect the last soul of my quota and become human, at least until I die again." Desdemona pointed out. "But I'd actually prefer to live as a human for more than a few hours." She looked at Jack and gave him a wink.

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Flame watched the very big, very dark, and very very conspicuous guy walk into the cafe. "Oh, hell, not agian." he said to himself. He jumped off the roof, and started to run across the street.

Ronin stood outside the coffee shop, cloaked, when the tall dark figure entered the shop. Aw, crap... He thought.

---------------------------------------------

Harry ,still disguised as Officer Simms, had received word of a scuffle going on in  a warehouse thanks to the officer's surprisingly helpful police radio. Upon arriving, he noticed that Jack was inside, as were 3 other individuals. He decided to see how this would pan out.

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Jericho strolled into Starbucks and proceeded to order.

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah, Let me have a Carmel Mocha Frappuccino."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

"Your total is four-"

Jericho had sat his Desert Eagle on the counter, as it was in the way of the pocket where his wallet was.

"I- uh...N-Never mind, It's on me...heh."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, n-no problem...Let me make that for you."

Jericho shook his head and chuckled as the teenager was all shaky while he made the drink.
He picked up the Frappuccino and almost was out the door when a tall cloaked figure stood in the doorway.

"Oh God, please not again..."

"I have come to devour your soul and send it straigh to Hell...prepare yourself, mortal."

"When I die, I'm not going to Hell. Keep that in mind, so prepare yourself, Demon.

"This IS my signature."

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Void stopped his twitching.  They say darkness loved darkness, and pain enjoyed pain.  WHat he ahd seen was terrible, but he knew that Nick couldn't avoid a similar fate.  They were bound, he and Void.  As much as Void hated the fact.  And besides, even if he couldn't rid himself of Nick, maiming, or reducing to a vegetable meant dear old brother was still alive, right?  He smiled darkliy, and stood up.  He had had enough of his unpowered form.  He concentrated, and let his physical form go, quickly replacing it with the comfortable form of shadows and darkness. 

Ah, such freedom.  Finding the nearest shadows, he extended a tendril, touched the shadow, and sucked his essence through his tendril and into the darkness.  He shadowstepped to freedom...otherwise known as the other side of the warehouse, where he watched and waited.

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Drakeus ignited his hands and arms in a black-blue flame, and launched two streams of fire at Jerico. But the mortal quickly dodged out of the way, fliping up one of the tables in the store for a shield (and spiling his Carmel Mocha Frappuccino). The flames quickly burnt away the table, melting the table like wax. Jerico then went on the offensive, pulling out his Desert Eagle and puting a series of rounds into Drakeus form. The wraith howled in pain, but shrugged off most of the damage. Drakeus then prepared a mass of dark energy in both his hands intending on vaporizing half the store...

Re: RPG-Superhumans

"Jeez, freakin' Starbucks should really be more careful as to who they hire." Ronin said, appearing behind Drakeus, wristblades unsheathed.

------------------------------------------------

Harry saw Voidhunter slip out of the warehouse, and decided to try and coerce the shadow being to become a ally with him.
"V-Voidhunter." Harry called out. The shadowy villain turned around transforming his hands into blades just in case.

"I have no quarrell with you, my friend, as so I will let you walk away if you stand down." Voidhunter said, noticing the policeman who was speaking to him.

"Hmm? Oh-oh yes. Of c-course." Harry, realizing the misunderstanding, transformed into a like-shaped shadow being. "My n-name is Harr-Harry. I think we h-h-have similar goals. Would y-you like to wo-work t-t-t-t-t-together?"

Re: RPG-Superhumans

((ok, I froget: Whos Ronin?))

The man who appeared behind Drakeus, distracted him just as he was about to release his bomb. Instead of vapping Jerico, it vapped a whole corner of the store along with several citizens. The unlucky victims fell to the ground as blackened skeletons. Drakeus whirled around to face his new enemy, conjuring his twin katanas from his forearms as he did so. "Does your soul wish for burning also?" Hissed the demon.

[i]"Sir, Finishing this Cake."[/i]

Re: RPG-Superhumans

((Ronin is "the villain formerly known as Oni" as Adeptus put it))

"Not really." Ronin said, answering Drakeus's question. "Nice katanas." As Ronin said this, twin compartments on his thigh plates hissed open and Ronin removed two of his own katanas, cybernetically enhanced to cut through nigh anything and withstand amazing force. "How d'ya like mine?"

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Void thught the proposal over.  Harry had high ambitions, and was a powerful super.  However, his nihilistic ways were slightly over the top.

"Would you mind if I took ome time to think about the proposal?  I can give you an answer by tomorrow, at midnight.  I'm sorry, I just have a lot on my plate at the moment." 

He morphed his arms back into hands, and shadowstepped away, leaving the "Void"/policeman behind him, nodding in agreement.  This would make things very interesting, if they did indeed join forces.  He just hoped that he could get the point across to Harry that Darklight was NOT to be killed, under ANY circumstances.  An event like that just wouldn't do...

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Flame stepped into the cafe. Nice fire, interesting coloration... Flame voiced to Drakeus. "But I can do better."  Flame ignited his hands, then, to prove his point, he rapidly changed the color, from the normal orange to red to pink to a violet, then blue, and many others. It distracted Drakeus for a moment, then the fire snapped back to the original color, and he swung his fistt at the demon.

Re: RPG-Superhumans

As Void changed and switched into his shadow form Jack began clawing at the shadow as it dissappeared. 

"Aww darn he got away.  It's not like I don't have any sort of bondage with him due to his sword he gave me."

Jack again closed his mind and focused on the presence in the back of his mind, "He's just outside.  Shall we pursue Darklight?"

"Let's go hunt the Void."

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Jack ran outside and ran into Void.  But it wasn't.  He was sure Void had ran away.

"H-h-hello J-J-Jack."

"Void" changed into Jack then a police officer.  Then he morphed into Harry.

"Ah Harry, long time no see. You wouldn't happen to be here as a travelling bartender?  I'm parched."

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Drakeus ignored Oni, and turned to face the Flame weilding lizard, who apparently liked to show off his powers. Drakeus scoffed at Flames coloration changing, and cut a deep gash across his forearm with one of his katanas, as the lizard tryed to punch him. Drakeus relished the pain he had caused and steped back so he could face both of his opponents at once.

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Void witnessed Jack emerge from teh warehouse.  Itappeared Harry had him taken care of.  As for now, Void needed some rest; the events of the last few days had been hectic.  He would return, Darkligth wasn't getting away that easily.  And when he did, he would make SURE that he won.  "Nick, ol' boy, you'd better watch your back, because one of these days, I'll be right there behind you."  And then Void vanished into the shadows.

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Desdemona followed the others but she knew where Void was. As her quarry, she would always know where he was until it was over. But Void had changed his fate for now.

Desdemona studied Harry, his time would come but he was not assigned to her. "Watch that one," Desdemona said quietly to Jack.

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Vandal, Acero and Frost decided to leave Noxious to thaw out in his own time. They were about to leave for Happy Harry's when they saw the familiar figures of Darklight, Jack and initially Void but then he shape shifted and they instantly knew who it was.

"Perhaps our trip will need a detour." Vandal suggested as she watched the exchange.

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Fire quiclky sealed off the cut.  The skin was raw and waould scar, but at least he wasnt blading any more. Back up Jericho

"What?" Jericho hissed, clearly not used to voiceing

"Just do it" Flame hissed. Jericho did. Flame looked up at Drakeus. "Ah, a chalenge?" The demon said. "I am born of hell-fire! You can not hurt me!" 

Fire whirled around Flame's legs, rising to his chest (Like the area attack for fire in Jade Empire) He held his arms down at his side, but his forearms out, palms up. "What makes you so sure?" The fire flew forward,  whirling around civilians, redening their skin, but not harming them.

Re: RPG-Superhumans

Leting one of his katanas vanish, Drakeus conjured up another bomb, smaller this time, so he could hold off Flame. While at the same time fending off Oni, with his remaining sword. Things were getin hectic.
