Devil's Errand (Weybrook Roleplay Volume 2)

While this is a sequel to a previous roleplay, anyone is allowed to join if they ask first.

The owner is in the Eastern Standard Time. Take that in note when deciding whether or not to join.

Overview
Six months after the events of what is now known as that Christmas Massacre, Weybrook was back to its full potential, as if it has never happened. It's near the end of Spring, and the news has died during that time. The main antagonist has to lay low, since his planning from earlier did not compensate for sudden backup. Before he does anything on a wide scale again, he planned on removing any forms of help through the use of the black market... AKA, hitmen, assassins, mercenaries, and spies.

Rules

 * 1) Standard roleplaying ettiquete applies. No godmodding, powerplaying, autohitting, killing characters without permission, etc. This includes secondary and tertiary characters. Strikes: 1-2, warning may or may not be stated
 * 2) This roleplay is mainly for the characters that are at the speed of sound at the fastest, and are small building level at the most. Anyone higher will require an extreme nerf, and no using anything that surpasses this limit with no true explanation (power increase over time, gained an item buffing one's power, etc...). Strikes: 1
 * 3) Keep it PG-13. Cursing is allowed to a degree. The F-word is more of a rated R word, so use it sparingly or not at all. Love relationships are allowed, but obviously, no lemon scenes. Strikes: 1, after a warning is stated
 * 4) Please, put some effort into your posts. Novel format if possible. (Example: "Oh, hello Sonic! How's your day?" Tails asked. "Not bad..." Sonic replied.) Strikes: 1 after 3 warnings
 * 5) On this roleplay, DeathstroketheHedgehog has the final say in any argument. Strikes: 1
 * 6) Please keep arguments out of the roleplay, unless it's in context (such as two characters arguing). If you are to come to a major disagreement, cash them in your talk pages, how 'bout that? Be civil about it. No one likes backing off against a person insulting them, which is why arguments persist. Strikes: 2
 * 7) If you are unable to [often] respond at least twice a day, do not consider joining this roleplay. I am not the type of person to wait and if a vast majority is following this rule, I will leave you behind, unless an excusable absence is made. Strikes: 1 after a warning, following 12 hour periods
 * 8) Have fun! No seriously, this is a rule. If you can't enjoy this roleplay, then it's better for you to leave, because tension can come up as a result. Please tell me that you are leaving, I will not be mad at you because of it. Strikes: None necessary. This is a norm.
 * 9) Try to keep to the main storyline. Have fun plot twists and all, but don't do anything so drastic it changes the flow of the story. Strikes: 1 after warned once
 * 10) If you're roleplaying with two+ other people, make sure everyone gets a turn to roleplay. Don't leave someone behind like that. Strikes: 1 after two warnings
 * 11) If I seem to skip your character after editing, check that your character isn't doing something that would normally take a while (walking a far distance, working on something, etc.). If they are not doing anything of the sort, assume that I made a mistake and not noticed the edit. After the second missed edit, notify me.
 * 12) Should something happen where you willingly leave the roleplay or are forced out by being kicked from it, I will take control of your character and make them take a path in order to remove them out of the roleplay without causing a paradox with the other characters. You cannot complain about this event happening.

Chapter 1: The Calm Before the Storm
It was a wonderful evening, the sun setting over the horizon of the oceans couldn't have been better. The city was still emotionally shook about the threat a few months ago, but other than that, nothing major happened.

TECH facilities found out that they have been breached due to the whole factory incident, and increased their defense effectively. Now with the city back to a calm state, not only has security increased, but security guards could walk the halls once again.

Cops were more alert for enemies... and vigilantes. Despite the work of the heroes, they still acted against the law.

Besides that, the city seemed at its finest... what could possibly go wrong?

Eve O'La Laha (closed)
Having arrived once more to Weybrook; the female hedgehog held her hat in place due to a breeze as her blue eyes look to the city. She smiles a bit to herself yet seem a bit trouble deep down.

Eve's visit was more for a personal reason than any holiday reason, and it took a lot to convince her parents for her to be able to travel back. "Hello again Weybrook." She mumbles slightly as she wore a light blue dress and a overcoat that was dark gray. She sighs as she makes her walk to a nearby hotel, one she had gotten a room for.

The hotel was relatively quiet compared to the rest of Weybrook. People were still finicky about coming to the islands after the Christmas incident. One could even see that at the entrance of the hotel were charity people, the charity being to raise money for orphans and homeless people after the loss of some neighborhoods.

Eve smiles sweetly as she gotten some money out to give to the Charity people, her big sun hat slightly covering her face with some shading. She wouldn't mind the quietness of the hotel either, since it would give her a lot of relaxing time and allow her to think.

The girl scouts thanked Eve for her contributions as she went inside the building. It was an astounding hotel to be honest. The lack of people there ruins its true potential.

A koala was busy at one of the counters, with several room keys on the counter as well.

Eve hums sweetly as she makes her way over to the counter, taking off her sun hat since she was indoors now. "Excuse?" She speaks up, smiling.

The koala glanced up as she placed a box on the counter. "Yes ma'a-- uh..." she stared in shock of seeing Eve personally, but she corrected herself.

"Good evening, Ms. Laha," she said politely, holding her hands to prevent them from shaking. "What is it that you need?"

( Eve isn't married XD ) Eve smiles sweetly at Koala. "I had booked for a room here, Miss." Her smile still bright and sweet as ever.

(my bad, must've been autocorrect, lol) "U-um, yes, you're right." The koala picked up the key, extending her hand towards Eve. "Here's your room key, #010!"

(Lol) Eve smiles sweetly, taking the key. "Thank you Miss." She then bow her head in respect before leaving the counter, she was going to head for her room as she hums happily.

Once a safe distance from Eve, the koala covered her mouth with both hands to let out a tiny squeal, then calmed down and resumed with her work.

The room she entered was dark. Obviously, because the light wasn't on. There seemed to be a silhouette of something, or possibly someone, standing still in the room.

Eve's Blue eyes set on the silhouette as she reach over to turn on the light. "Mine mine, someone was waiting for me?" She questions.

The silhouette was gone. Possibly a trick of the eye. Possibly a very sneaky person.

Eve giggles to herself, going to her bed. "Silly me..." She smiles a little.

It seemed like tonight was going to be peaceful.

Eve was ready for bed, brushing her hair as she hum sweetly.

By now, the sun had fully set, night taking over.

Eve undid the hairtie in her hair, letting her hair drop down to its full length before she pull up the covers to sleep in bed.

After a few good minutes of sleep, a growl might have or might have not woken up Eve.

The growl did, in fact, wake Eve up.

Due to her being asleep prior to this, her eyes would be adjusted to the dark.

Eve was deeply confuse as she sat up, looking around now. "Huh?"

She would see her door open... and Lavo in the bathroom...

Eve seem stun, she close then open her eyes as she stares at the bathroom.

Lavo was gone. Possibly another trick of the brain?

Eve huffs, before groaning as she gotten up to go close her bedroom door tiredly. She was clearly very tired if she thought Lavo of all people was there.

Kendra Littleghost (closed)
Kendra was on her way to Weybrook, where the famed Eve O'La Laha was traveling to. "Oh man, I can't wait to meet her. I've only been here for a little while, but I loved her music when she started singing on the radio!" Kendra said squealing like the fangirl she is.

As Kendra reached Weybrook, the first thing she would notice was the massive size of the place, almost large enough to be a small country.

Kendra walked into the city and went to the nearest hotel as she decided to cash in for the night.

There were two hotel buildings to choose from due to them being right beside each other. The fancier looking hotel was closer to Kendra, the average looking one behind it.

She decided to go into the fancier one since it was closer and she needed sleep.

There was a doorman who had opened the door as she entered. Kendra would notice that the interior was made of a special combination of minerals to give the walls a twinkling white color. Two employees were at the front desk chatting to each other.

She walked up to the two employees. "Could I buy a room please?" She asked.

(seriously, just make a new paragraph so I don't have to constantly find the start of your turn.) "Sure," said one of the employees. "What class room would you like?"

"I'd like a middle class or something i don't know," she said. She was stuck on what to pick as she didn't know what the classes were.

"For one night, including dinner and breakfast, middle class is $40."

"I'll take it!" said Kendra. She was so excited. She took out 40 bucks and handed it to them.

The employee gladly took the money, then took out a key card to extend to Kendra.

"We hope you enjoy your stay here," she said.

Kendra then went running to her room and laid on the bed. "Tomorrow is going to be amazing!" She said squealing like a fangirl again. She closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Lavo Price (closed)
She held some papers in her hand, another hand on her hip as she skim them quietly. A lot had happen since she had arrived back to her home, yet she picked to return to Weybrook in other means. The Mane wolf stares at the city before heading into it, her hands in the pocket of her jacket, her eyes just skimming. She was hoping to find a library and possibly read why folklore or other interesting tales that Weybrook had.

Education was something Weybrook was popular for. As such, it has some of the largest libraries on Mobius. There was always at least one library for every four square miles.

So, the Mane wolf gone into one of the Libraries she first comes across, her eyes skimming a bit as she walks into the place. She was going to have fun exploring it seems.

Libraries were honorary places. Lavo would be able to see the astounding arches and designs in the architecture of this building, having a hollow dome at the top which perfectly reflects sunlight to brighten up the entire building. It would look its most beautiful at noon, but it is currently evening when Lavo entered. It would be an hour before the library closed.

Lavo walks further in the library, she was just going to do some reading and then leave once they need to close. It wasn't too much trouble anyway.

There were five floors of books. The first floor being children's books, the next floor being kids books, third being teens, fourth adults, and the fifth floor being the computer floors, for research and other means.

Lavo picked to go to the fourth floor, only to see if she could find anything about myths, legends, folktales, etc.

There was an elevator, but this elevator wasn't surrounded by walls, but by glass. There was also an escalator that could take her up.

"... No elevators today..." Lavo grumbles to herself as she picked to go up the escalator instead.

The further she went up, the better the view of the sunset behind the glass. She would eventually reach the fourth floor,, seeing a beautiful view of it.

"Mmm... That is a lovely sight... " Lavo mumbles, she pulls out her cell phone and put it on silent to take a picture of the view before putting her phone away. She may try to recreate that view in art; she then goes for the shelves to look though the books.

The books were what she expected. It had all the classical books one would find there. There was one book with no title.

This caught Lavo's eyes, she paused and grab the book, pulling it out to open it. "..."

The words and letters were jumbled. It was basically like reading garble at first glance.

Lavo blinks. "Mmm... Another language?"

It didn't seem like another language, unless one spoke complete gibberish. The first few lines read:

Ubshfut:

Mbwp Qsjdf

Fwf P'Mb Mbib

Uif Cmbdl Dbu

''Uif Cmbdl Dbu jt uxfouz gjwf njmmjpo. Ifs bmmjft bsf pof njmmjpo fbdi.''

Along with a bunch of other random writing.

"Mmm... Code possibly? ... I wonder if I can rent out this book..." Lavo blinks, staring at the book quietly.

There was no coding of the book. It seemed as if the book didn't even belong in the library.

Lavo seem honestly surprised, though she takes the book with her and goes to leave the Library. She'll have to find a place to rest at honestly, she didn't get herself a room at any hotel. "Mmm..."

The streets were tamer, making it easier to travel, and the nearest hotel was a few blocks away.

Lavo blinks, walking towards the nearest Hotel with the book- there was going to be a lot of studying. "Mmm... Maybe- No, Krow most likely wouldn't have a clue, he hasn't been to Weybrook... And even then, Mars is running around here somewhere." She mumbles to herself a bit more.

As she entered the hotel, the same koala from before was about to leave, but stopped for Lavo. "Good evening ma'am!" she said happily.

"Ah, good evening, May... I purchase a room real quick?" Lavo asked as nicely as possibly, her ears perked as she looks to the Koala.

"Just in time, there was only one room left. After the burnt down neighborhood, people have basically been living here." She looked around for anyone else watching, then whispered, "the room is right beside the princess singer, you're so lucky!"

Lavo blinks, her ears perked. "Eve? She's here?" She slightly mumbles, this came to a shocked. "I figure her parents would keep her from coming here..." She whispered that last part to herself. "Anyway, thank you."

"It's $20 for an overnight deal, comes with dinner and breakfast."

Lavo pulls out 20 Dollars, handing it over to her. "Very well."

She gave Lavo the key before accepting the cash. "You have a nice night, ma'am. You're room #009."

"Nice night to you too, stay safe..." Lavo stated calmly as she takes the key and starts heading for her room.

As she headed down the hallway, she would notice that Eve's door was slightly open. It could possibly be by accident.

Lavo slightly narrowed her eyes, her mind already thinking of the worse as she goes to carefully open the door a bit more so she could see inside. "..."

The lights were out. Lavo could make out a silhouette on the bed. Possibly Eve. Above her was another silhouette. Its arm was extended over its head, holding something.

Lavo suddenly let out a rather loud growls, pushing the door open wide, but she didn't turn on the light, her eyes not leaving the Silhouette over the one on the bed, she was about ready to sprint in a way to tackle.

This startled the silhouette, and the figure darted across the room to the bathroom. Lavo's growl might have or might have not woken up Eve.

Lavo's eyes narrowed, she wouldn't have notice if Eve woke up as she goes for the bathroom after the silhouette person.

The little light Lavo did have was because of the windows. In the bathroom, it was pitch black. The silhouette was basically nowhere to be seen.

Lavo started to sniff around now, now relying on her other senses. ' Where did it go...? ' She thought.

The smell basically said that the silhouette somehow managed to sneak past her and leave the room.

Lavo glares as she leaves the bathroom and walked out of Eve's room; without even really acknowledging Eve being awake.

The smell of the enemy seemed to have him escaping the building, the smell getting fainter the whole time.

Lavo growls, but she sighs as she heads for her room next to Eve's at this point. "... Lock your door Eve..." She mutter as loudly as she could, but to not shout either.

Speed Man (closed)
Speed Man had gotten a distress call about the aftermath of the "Christmas Massacre". Not knowing what it was or how it happened he decided to do some research on where it happened and how. His findings led him to one single place: Weybrook. Deciding to check the place out he teleported over to the outskirts of Weybrook. "This is the right place alright" he said.

By looking at the city on the outskirts, everything seems repaired already. The islands seemed at peace. from the outskirts.

Speed Man decided to walk into the city to cash into a hotel for the night. He wondered if room service could provide a charger, if there was room service.

There were two hotels right beside each other. The more fancy looking one being behind the other.

He decided to go into the fancier hotel as he needed some assurance they had room service, so then he walked in.

As he walked there, Speed Man would notice another person entering the same building up ahead.

Shrugging it off as someone of no importance he walked in.

As he entered the building, Speed Man would probably take notice of the scenery.

"Seems too expensive for me. I'll go to the other hotel instead," he said as he walked out. Walking to the other hotel he accidentally extended his wheels and went flying into the hotel.

A koala who was about to leave the building scream as she leapt out of the way, the ferret employee frozen, looking shocked at Speed Man's entrance. He had never seen anything like this before.

He ran towards the ferret looking worried. "Do you know what happened to them?" asked Speed Man.

"Uh... good evening?" was all that the ferret could say. The koala got herself up after avoiding the collision with Speed man. She dusted herself as she looked at him, wondering why he went flying into the building in the first place.

"Oh thank god your alright. Sorry about running in like that.." he said chuckling awkwardly. "Could I maybe buy a room?"

The koala let out a sigh. "I just gave away the last room available here," she said as she left the building.

The ferret looked over to Speed Man. "I'm sorry, sir, I'm afraid she is right. You were just ten minutes too late, as a wolf came and had taken the last room here."

Speed Man was thought of a compromise as he was listening to them. "Well I could sleep someplace that's not a room. I'm just a robot after all." he said. "I charge by either plug in or by being near heat. I'm powered by those two things."

"Oh.... um, well I guess you can sit in the lobby then," the employee thought out loud.

"Alright! How much will it be?" he asked pulling out his wallet out his hammerspace.

"Umm.. I.. don't know... I guess if it was a room, it would be $20."

"I'll give you $30 for the trouble I caused with the running in" He handed the money to the ferret.

"Oh..." he said as he took the money, "Well then, thank you, Mister.."

"Speed Man. Call me Speed Man," he said. walking to the corner he sat next to a heater and bid the ferret good night. Hopefully tomorrow he can get some answers.

Mars (closed)
A green wolf had arrived, having ported himself on the roof of the tallest building in the city with a surge of electricity he was happy; he had a chance to explore new territory and have fun! The call of adventure attracted the wolf, that and tidbits he overheard from his best friend Lavo.

Mars would feel the impact of intense winds due to being up so high. The tallest skyscraper was 0.67 miles high.

Any normal mobian probably would've been blown off, but as an electrokinetic Mars could Magnetize his feet to the metal roofing, though he did find it veeeery chilly.

Looking down, Mars would find it hard to see anything without some form of enhanced sight, because he was so high. However, at this height, Mars would see the best view for a sunset yet, and he would also see the lights of the city almost being magical.

Indeed, his eyes lit up like a kid at a candy store, the lights of the city serving to excabrate the childish wonder he felt, and were it not chilly he would stay up here for a sunset.

The sunset only continued to sink as time went on, meaning the temperature would drop even more.

With that in mind, Mars vanished from the roof with a surge of lightning, reappearing on some telephone lines and surfing on them. "Wheee!~"

Due to the amount of technology everywhere on Weybrook, Mars could pretty much end up wherever he wanted to at the moment.

Like say.. A bank? Not that Mars was aware of where he was going.

If that was where Mars ended his surfing journey, he would appear over a bank.

"Ooooh~?" Mars looked around, hopping off the telephone wire.

Mars would end up surprising one of the patrolling cops, and they almost shot Mars in the process.

If the cop drew a gun Mars would've reacted on instinct and pumped enough electricity into the cop to paralyze an elephant.

The cop was instantly dropped to the ground, and his partner assumed that Mars was another villain.

"FREEZE!" He yelled as he drew his gun out.

Mars reacted again, by porting behind the cop with a surge of electricity and attempting to deliver a crushing drop kick to the back of his neck.

The other cop collapsed from the shock as well. Surrounding citizens began screaming as they attempted to run from Mars after seeing seemingly attack the cops for no reason. Due to there being two cops on each block, they would begin running to the sounds of commotion.

Mars panicked, now just trying to get away from the scene without getting into anymore trouble by electrical surfing on the telephone wires. He didn't care where he ended up, just that he escaped.

This tactic was successful, and oncoming cops came in, checking their comrades as they woken up from being "tazed".

Hellervein Triplets (closed)
A union of brief hisses formed out as the sun rose. With a sigh, three figures made their way into the nearest building, which seemed to be a packaging center. Seconds later, the three rushed back out, with the female of the three noting "Literature before tape," and immediately they were darting to the library.

The closest library to go to was a quarter mile away, over a small yet glamorous bridge that illuminated with the evening glow. Even the surrounding waters seemed crystal clear.

The three quickly rushed to the establishment, moving underneath the bridge as they went before quickly sweeping under the door, reforming from a shadow form to the left.

Due to cops being more alert, they may glance in the directions of the shadows, thinking that their eyes were playing tricks on them.

The sister of the three felines walked immediately up to the second floor to browse. The brothers looked about for any kind of lounge or perhaps a cafe inside the library.

There was a large reading zone on the first floor which could be considered as a lounge, but for obvious reasons, food and drinks weren't allowed in the library.

The two shrugged before sitting down. Triven immediately got back up, pacing, while Simble just relaxed. Glyph started going through various books, most on languages.

An announcement went on throughout the building. "Pardon the interruption, the library will be closing in 30 minutes, I repeat, the library is closing in 30 minutes. Thank you."

"Day just broke recently," Triven hissed.

(hehe... look at the first sentence of chapter 1)

(I'm aware.  It was intentional.)

(skips his turn because he can't continue off of it)

"I am going to find beverages," Triven walked out from the library while Simble remained. Glyph became quite emersed in her reading, leaning against a wall.

The nearest shop for Triven to visit was a small cáfe. Most other shops were closed that night.

He jogged over, hoping to get inside before it closed.

It was practically empty, three employees were in the building. The one by the cash register let out a wave and smiled.

He made his way in quickly. "What are the popular meals here?"

"We're a variety cáfe, we have just about anything you can think of," the cashier said with a smile.

"Does that mean you do not have specific popular meals?"

"Well, our three most famous dinner meals are from our deluxe spaghetti, our chicken macaroni casserole, and bourbon chicken meals.

"Three spaghettis," He replied immediately. "Three... coffees with them?" He shrugged.

"Sure then," the employee said. He looked back to see that the chef was already at it, so the cashier got right down to business. "$19.26," he stated, giving Triven the receipt.

He looked it over. "Dollars..." His arms went behind his back before coming back out with a fifty dollar bill, which he handed over. "You... may keep the change.  Will the meals and drinks be packaged?"

The cashier took the fifty dollar bill, initially shocked that he would give this much money away. "If you want it to go, then yes, it will be packaged."

"That then," He nodded.

The cashier nodded in response, then turned around to tell the others that it was a to go meal.

The cashier then turned back to Triven as time went on. "I'm guessing you're getting a meal for you and some others then, right?" he asked, trying to break the ice.

"Yes," Triven answered bluntly. If he was interested in talking casually, he didn't appear very... used to it.

With that awkward response, the cashier scratched his head, then said, "Your meal will be prepared in just a few minutes."

"Gratitude," He nodded, folding his arms with a glance downward in wait.

As he waited, a white fox entered the cáfe. He walked to the cashier and asked for some coffee.

Triven stepped to the right as the man made his way to the counter.

After a moment, one of the other employees came out with the coffee. She gave the cup to the fox, and the other three to Triven in a cupholder.

Triven took the coffees. "Is the meal ready?"

"On it's way," the waitress said with a smile as she went back to the open kitchen.

The fox leaned near the entrance of the door, sipping his cup and checking his watch.

Triven continued to wait.

In about a minute, the waitress came with the bag of three spaghetti meals. "Thanks for stopping by our cáfe," she said.

(Was wondering about this.) Triven nodded in response before quickly returning to the library with the food.

While Triven left, the white fox checked his watch once more, then he quickdrawed his pistol and shot the waitress with her back turned, now aiming the gun at the cashier, who freaked out, putting his hands up.

Xavek (closed)
Xavek sneered, here he was.. Back at this city; the very same one that heaped upon him trouble upon trouble with no veritable end in sight.. In short, he hated this place; though he got the data from the TECH group he was so fervently interested in acquiring and wasted no time pouring through it all like a nerd in a sci-fi convention.

"Again.. Business calls.." He mumbled, having taken on a holographical human disguise to blend in easier as he approached the city limits.

The city part of Weybrook was less busier than usually with the drop in visitors and tourists, but every now and then, seeing crowded sidewalks were not a surprise. It seems that Weybrook has gotten to peak condition again, relatively fast.

Xavek chuckled under his breath, he found it funny how these fleshbags could simply move on with their lives after the whole fiasco with this Satan Claws. He only heard about it through radio broadcasts so he didn't know too much about the incident.

Xavek would then probably notice that there were at least two cops on every block, all scanning their environments carefully.

Xavek shrugged, he should be fine since he was in disguise.

The evening proceeded only to get darker as time went on.

(running out of things to talk about, where is Xavek heading to right now...)

Oddly enough, he was headed for the slummier parts of Weybrook.

The neighborhood there had the tallest buildings being three stories high. Plans to build it better were postponed after the Massacre. Despite being the lower class, the people around here, minus the homeless, seemed to be very happy with their lives. There were less cops in the area, about on cop patrolling every four blocks.

"Huh.. How odd that people can be happy with just the table scraps of society.." Xavek mumbled as he looked around.

The surrounding was pretty tame. Everything seemed peaceful. There was a cat walking down an alleyway, but other than that, it didn't seem as if anything important was in this part of Weybrook.

He deigned to follow the cat from a distance, as he was no idiot and really bored.

The attire of the cat was covering her up. Despite the fact that it's late winter, this evening was pretty warm, so all of her clothing meant she was either hiding her identity, or homeless. The cat stopped, about to turn around to check if she was followed.

Xavek activated his stealth cloak, deactivating the holographic disguise to do so.

After scanning her environment, she walked towards a dumpster, opening it up and digging through the trash.

Xavek snuck closer, curious as to what she was digging up.

The Cat pulled out a Blue Band book and turned to the second page. She pulled out a UV light as she read an invisible message.

Xavek cycled his vision settings to UV, hoping to read the message.

The message read:

''Locate a book in the Chromestone Library, on the fourth floor in the legends and folktales category. The book has no title, and to read the code, change the letters to the next letter in the alphabet. Inform all assassins, mercenaries, and hitman about this, and you will receive a bonus reward.''

Xavek silently chuckled, now headed to the library.

Chapter 2: The Rise of Conflict
For some people, they're lucky enough to be on the good side of Weybrook. For others, they're on the not so good side. Then there's a big mystery that is tying up in all of this...

(If you don't want you characters to start in this second chapter, just type "postpone", and I will add them in the next chapter)

Lavo (closed)
Lavo's room was a very decent one, the only flaw with it was that the last room left turned out to be a room for two, so excess supplies were available. Including two beds.

She looks around; an ideal room for if Mars find where she is. Lavo then goes to one of the beds, closer to the window [if there is one] and open the title-less book to look at the shuffle words once more. Trying to decode this will be hard, but she'll form up different theories till something make sense; after all, she was a very restless and tired-less person.

There was a computer in the room. It could possibly have an online decoder, but it looks out of date, and may run slowly.

Lavo looks to the computer. "Mmm... I have my cell phone... But, I'll try the computer." She was about to go to it, but stops halfway, staring at it as she remember Mars, and well.. His abilities. "Mmm..."

Since Lavo is so familiar with Mars, she could probably pick up his scent.

Lavo sniff the air, her eyes widen a bit; she toss the book into her bag and exits her room to follow after Mars' scent.

Lavo would notice Mars in the hallway. Mars seemed panicky, and he instinctively fired a bolt of lightning at Lavo.

"Whoa, whoa" Lavo, however, didn't dodge, taking the bolt to her person as she close her eyes. "...Mars..."

Mars (closed)
Mars pops up in the middle of a hotel. Because of this, the ferret employee did not see him trespass. Which was a good thing, considering the news were already on about his defensive reaction on the cops, exaggerated to be attempted murder.

Mars was panicking now, looking around for someone, in this state he could kill someone with electrical bleedoff.

Someone was coming up behind Mars.

In a panic, he turned around and fired a bolt of lightning at whoever was coming up behind him.

It took a while, but Mars calmed down at the sight of his best friend/sibling figure. "... S-sorry.." He mumbled.

Lavo and Mars (closed)
Though she took the full brunt of it, Lavo didn't exactly collapse, primarily because of the odd properties of her blood.

Mars looked at Lavo, a tad concerned since he did fire a bolt of lightning at her from near point blank while under duress.

Lavo grunted a bit, sighing before petting Mars' head. "... What did you do this time?" She grumbles.

"I-It was self d-defense..!" Mars replied, having some trouble speaking clearly without tripping over his own words.

Lavo sighs, pulling Mars with her to her room, so no one else could see her. "Explain to me, overall, what happen..." So, Lavo pulled Mars into her Hotel room, closing the door behind the two as she looks to Mars.

Mars took a few deep breaths to calm down, before explaining his circumstances.

Lavo listen, her ears perked before she takes her hand and rubs her forehead. "Mars, you need to be more careful with your powers here..."

Mars sighed. "I-it was in self defense.." He mumbled.

"I know, but they won't know that." Lavo pets Mars' head, hugging him.

Mars just sniffled, returning the hug.

"Shhh..." Lavo pets Mars' head, looking to the beds. "How about you stay here with me, Mars, Till it all settle down?"

Mars nodded. "A-alright.."

Lavo pets Mars' head, sitting on her bed.

(you guys done till chapter 3, or...)

(probably XD)

(Yea lol )

Hellervein Triplets (closed)
Six clawed fingers crowned the top of the fox's head a second later as a rattlesnake hiss came from the bothered feline. "I dropped one of those packages because of your n-" then he saw the shot woman and his hand began to squeeze.

The fox was bleeding, but he didn't seem to feel it. "I'll give you a chance to run now. LET GO!" he demanded.

The blood from the fox began to drain out into the fingertips of the white six-eared cat as he scraped his claws against the fox's head while aiming to swing him out the door behind them.

The fox rolled back onto his feet, eyeing Triven. "Have it your way," he said, pointing the pistol in Triven's direction.

Triven looked back at the fox with a sneering rattling clicking growl before turning back to the woman, stepping over the counter to assess her wounds.

The woman was paralyzed from the waste down, struggling to breathe, and already there was a lot of blood on the floor.

Triven would've been shot at, but the Fox was interrupted by something. It would seem as if the Fox was talking to himself angrily, before deciding to holster his gun. He pressed a button on his watch, got on a motorcycle, and left the scene. It seemed safe.

Triven placed a hand on the wound, slowly soaking up the blood and redistributing it into the woman. A blue mixture of the liquid began going into her system, knitting the body back together.

The waiter looked Triven, mouthing a thank you.

The cashier remained frozen in place at what happened. However, a closer look shows that the cashier wasn't frozen by the current situation, but something else outside.

Triven turned to the cashier, looking him over for a moment before glancing outside.

There seemed to be a large star in the sky, but the "star" seemed to be getting bigger. If Triven had enhanced sight, he would be able to see what it was.

While Triven did possess a higher set of eyes, he didn't stare out at the star long. He wove his hand in front of the cashier, nudging them.

The cashier blinked, then knew what he was supposed to do. He leapt over the counter and gently but firmly picked up the waitress, getting her out of harms way. It seemed that the other employess left via the back door.

Triven jerked back at the sudden return to movement, looking back outside for a moment. With a sigh, he stepped out, gathering up the remaining two spaghettis and three coffees.

The star landed outside, cracking the ground on impact. It turns out that it was a blue fox, looking like it is a cyborg, possibly being one. It went in to search the area, being completely oblivious to Triven at first.

"... What is this?" Triven asked with a grumble to the fox.

The fox remained mute for a second, then robotically turned his head it to Triven's direction. "Get out," he said with no expression.

Triven's eyes narrowed, raising an eyebrow. "We are already out."

The fox didn't respond, simply returning to its task. It punched through the counter like it was paper, digging through the cash register.

With a growl, Triven rolled his neck, placing the food and drinks down again. He reached out a hand at the cyborg fox, sensing for any sign of bodily liquids. Any he found, he would latch to, pulling at.

The only form of body fluids were the few parts of the body that wasn't robot: part of the face, fore arms, and part of the thighs.

Using these, Triven curled his fingers, pulling the liquids, pulling the body, dragging it toward him, that is if the liquids didn't break out from the body beforehand.

If Triven was doing anything, he was damaging the living part of the cyborg. However, the robot continued searching through the cash register. It seemed as if it wasn't going for the money, scattering it all over the floor.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Triven stepped over, slamming the register closed on the cyborg.

The cyborg looked over at Triven and repeated its last statement. "Get out."

To this, Triven promptly yanked the register back, elbowing the cyborg to send him out of the building.

The elbowing technique seemed to not move the cyborg at all. However, the cyborg did take notice of this attempt, and pointed its hand at Triven's face, seeming to open a cannon in the palm of it.

Then, for a moment, the cyborg began shaking. It wasn't staring down Triven, the eyes look natural.

"Run," the cyborg said with plea, or in actuality, the flesh part of the cyborg.

"Never," Triven took hold of the cannon arm, a brief spark of light appearing as a covering of ice began to form over it.

"I.. can't override it.." he struggled to say as the robotic side slowly took over again, having the gun vibrate in order to melt the ice. "You need to... escape, while you can... get... help.."

"Save your energy on the current task," Triven began continually coating the cybernetic parts of the body. Something was taking hold of the arms of the body, pushing to force them into fists.

"What.. are you doing?" the fox said as he looked down to see what was affecting his arms.

The force then began to apply pressure to crunch down the arms. With his visible hands, long orange shining claws came out from his six fingers,curling tensly before slamming at the elbow joints of the cybernetic areas.

The fox grunted. "The metals has no pain receptors, but I still do in case you forgot," he notified through his gritted teeth. "Move.. to the side for a second.."

"My intent is to sever the limb," Triven answered. He did not move at first, but after some seconds... "fine," he stepped aside.

The fox forced the palm of his hand open just for a quick second, and a blast from it destroyed the unlucky wall. "If it kept building up, the damage would've been greater," he replied.

"... " Triven lifted the body of the fox, beginning to carry him outside. "We will deal with this away from businesses... What controls you?  A virus?"

"It's.. I don't know.. they did something to me, and I can't control myself.." The fox is currently trying his best not to strangle Triven.

Triven sat the fox down, coating over further with ice. "Who are they?"

"I was kidnapped... I don't know who any of them are, I just remember that white fox..."

"..." He picked the fox up again, walking back to the food and drinks. They floated upward as he began walking to the library.

Meanwhile, with the Simble, a librarian walked over to them. "Um, excuse me?" she said calmly.

(Simble is on the lobby couch, Glyph is upstairs)

(kk, I'll go with Simble then)

"Yes?" He looked up to the librarian, a very hypnotic aura coming off from his eyes.

The librarian tried not to stare directly at him, her eyes feeling woozy. "It's closing time. You're going to have to leave."

"...Hm... Very well.  Please allow me to gather my siblings," He stood up.

"Thank you, and have a good night, sir" she said as she walked back.

By now, Triven and the cyborg fox would be within a block of the library.

Triven busted the library doors open as he walked inside, causing Simble to glance over toward him. "... Ah, you have a pet?" He joked.

"A new phone, actually," the fox replied.

The librarian turned around at the sound of this. "Um sir, the sign said that the librar-- oh my.."

"He fell from the sky and seems to be partially under the control of some force," Triven explained.

"... We are in a library," Simble reminded. Triven simply rose an eyebrow and sat the fox down.

The fox glanced over at Triven with his one normal eye. "You should take me to a safer place. I don't know when that other side of me will take over again, but if it does, I don't want to hurt anyone. I just remembered that if it takes control, it will simply repair its missing arm."

"He raises a point," Simble agreed.

"The sooner the situation is dealt with, the better," Triven countered.

"Or perhaps you simply do not know where we could take him?"

"That... is also a factor."

"Hrmm," the fox thought about this. "I wanna say we can go to the fa--" he began convulsing.

Simble shifted across the floor, his hand planting on the forehead of the fox. An aura of pink began forming into him. "Focus," He directed, using his own mental abilities to reach in and help push with the fox's mind.

It was tough, but eventually, the robot side was subdued, for now. "Thanks," he said, "There was a factory abandoned ever since the Christmas Massacre. You could lock me up there until you can help me."

"That will do very well," Simble nodded before turning to the librarian. While both of his hands appeared at his side, she felt something very much like a hand guiding hers upward just slightly as the tall white cat bowed slighty, planting a brief kiss on the back of her palm. "My apologies for the inconvenience."

Triven looked to the slightly scratched doors he threw open with a slight cringe before carrying the fox out again.

The librarian stared at everyone with no words as they all left.

Xavek (closed)
Xavek arrived at the library, his stealth field still active.

By now, the library was closed. Since libraries were a big thing to Weybrook, they were guarded decently. It didn't stop the trash diver, however, as she seemed to take an alleyway and start moving a large but thin cylinder rock, revealing a secret underground entrance into the library.

Xavek followed the trash diver.

Once inside, the cat went through a twist of tunnels before finding a fuse box. She placed a device on it, and a few sparks went off before she began to bolt out of the tunnel

Xavek went to investigate the device.

The device was some sort of hijack device, and by the looks of it, it knocked out the power of the building.

Xavek chuckled, this seemed interesting.. Now perhaps he could call up some old contacts of his for a good old fashioned slaughterfest like old times.. But that would have to be handled with the utmost care, afterall.. He did fake his own death to get out of the Bad Egg Legion.

The cat had already escaped the tunnels by now.

Xavek chuckled, going to walk out of the tunnel.

By now he would see a circular hole in the library window, probably where the cat entered.

Noting this, he entered through the library window.

If he went in immediately, he would end up stepping on the glass below. If not, he would be able to see the shattered glass on the floor.

He went in immediaterly, sure shattered glass would make noise when stepped on but it wouldn't pierce through metal.

The glass was the sound that triggered that cat, She glanced back in the direction, and from her point of view, it seemed as if the glass spontaneously broke.

"Damn chameleons," she said out loud as she tossed several shurikens in the area of the broken glass.

The shuriken's bounced off something, as Xavek slowly shimmered into view; his stealth cloak deactivating. "You'll find that your toys are quite useless against me.."

"...what the fuck? You again?" she replied.

"Call me a curious little birdy, I see something interesting going on and I can't help but want to know what it is.."

"..Follow someone else for once," she said as she grappled up to the fourth floor.

"Oh please.." Xavek didn't give chase, he felt no need to afterall; he knew what was written in invisible ink.

In the folktales section of the fourth floor, the cat began searching for the book.

Xavek just waited, he had a feeling she would be coming back for something anyways.

After five minutes passed, the cat returned to the first floor via the escalator. "Alright, where's the book?" She demanded.

"Don't have it." Xavek shrugged.

"For all I know you've been stalking me to taunt me. No one else knows where to find this book, and no one ever goes to the folktale section up here. Hell, they were planning on tearing it down. So who else would spontaneously take the book and nothing else?"

"Take a look at the security cameras." Was Xavek's answer.

"After I fried them? Right..." the cat placed her hands in the pockets of her jacket.

"They should still have footage from before."

"The library works online when it comes to cameras. That's why I shut it down," she sighed. "Why did you come back in the first place? After all of these months?"

"Because, I have business here; I find myself rather disgusted that this 'TECH' group is lauded as the most technologically advanced on the planet.. So I plan on hitting their business where it hurts, with superior weaponry at a lower price~" Xavek chuckled.

"...whatever," she responded, pulling her hands out of her jacket. There was some type of technological glove on her hands. "I've wasted enough time in this building. I came here to get information on targets to hunt, so unless-" she stopped herself, thinking... "Hey, Anti Robo-cop, are you able to scan for DNA or fingerprints?"

"Of course I can.." Xavek responded, his optics readjusting the point of focus as he scanned for any signs of forensics evidence.

There seemed to be small flakes of skin, a fingerprint where the book the cat speaks of should've been.

"What do you know, someone else has the book.." Xavek mused, as he examined the fingerprints closely to try and find a match.

"No one else should've known about this book." She said, chin on her fist in thought...

The scan will show a person known as Lavo Price, a wolf.

".... Her..." Xavek hissed. "I found your thief.."

Lavo checked the name, then pulled out a phone as she scanned for names similar to that, finding one of those name currently registered in a Weybrook hotel. "Well then," she smiled, "this makes things much more easier."

She opened a black market, placing a bounty on her. 25k if killed. 50k if brought alive, and 100k if brought alive with the special book. This was sent out to multiple mercenaries and factions for quick and easy cash.

She closed her phone, eyeing Xavek. "Well, it seems I'm in debt to you," she exclaimed.

"Yeah yeah.. If she has a green wolf with her, I want it alive.." Xavek muttered.

"'Dunno anything about a green wolf. Unless he has money on him, I honestly don't care. I'll keep an eye out for him, though," she said, pulling something else out of her pocket.

"Don't worry, this one won't blow up," she joked, thumb flicking a small device in the direction of Xavek.

Xavek caught it, examining the device.

The device suddenly expanded in his hand ten times the original size.

"Oops, I guess it does blow up," she said. "Once I activate the tracker, you'll be able to follow it. I'll try to hook it on that wolf you want so badly."

Xavek shrugged. "Excellent, oh and do try to be subtle about it; I'd rather he not jump ship before I have the chance to catch it.." With that said, Xavek went to leave; the device in hand.

"Heh, wish me good luck with that," she said, escaping through the window.

Xavek chuckled, digitizing himself to leave the library inconspicuously.

Chaotic (closed)
Chaotic finally got back from his dimensional jumping. "Finally. I'm back," he said relieved. "but where am I?" He had never heard of or seen Weybrook.

In the center of Weybrook stood was a small one black large park with a huge fountain. The few people that are here at this late time are usually couples due to the elegance of the lights and fountains.

He decided to look for a hotel since it's late.

There was a fancy looking hotel not too far from here.

"Perfect." as he walked he saw a wolf running hastily (Kendra). He decided to go into the hotel instead of chasing after her.

The doorman gladly opened the door for Chaotic as he reached the door.

"Thank you kind sir" he said. He then gave the doorman a tip of $50 bucks and continued walking.

He met two employees at a counter, both hard at work. They were initially not paying attention due to not hearing him enter.

"Excuse me what are the prices of the room" he asked the two employees

"Depends on what class room you're getting, sir," one responded. "A, B, or C class?"

"I'd just like to know what's the best choice honestly," he said.

"That would be class A then, sir. How long do you intend on being here?"

"For as long as I need to,"

"That plan would be $65, sir," the employee replied. He assumed that Chaotic meant the best deal due to what he said.

"I'll take it," he said while handing the money "Hope you don't mind, but I have this sword here. Is it allowed?" He asked.

"Uhh..." the employee looked at the sword, worried, but calm. "Weapons are allowed, but you do have to fill out a form and sign the contract."

"That'll be no problem," he said.

When given the form, it was required that if a crime happens involving a weapon of similar abilities, you will be treated as a hostage. You were also required to answer things regarding your identity, AKA age, name, home address, etc. There was a place for Chaotic to sign at the end.

"I don't remember where I lived. I've been gone for years." He filled out as much of the form as he could.

"Thank you sir, " he said as he extended his arm with the room key card.

He took the card and went walking to his room.

Kendra Littleghost (Closed)
Waking up with a long yawn, Kendra was fully energized and ready to go. She decided to take a walk around town. Of course, she brought her key card with.

As she was walking, if she has strong hearing, she would hear faint gunshots in the far distance.

"Oh no...." she said. Equipping her Claw Gloves she ran towards the gunshot sound. (would it be fine if she called Speed Man since she knows him?)

(If she knows him, yes)

The gunshots were about 7 blocks away. This part of Weybrook was usually quiet around this time, so sounds could echo and get around easily. "

"I'm probably going to need some help." She then called out on Speed Man and continued running.

If she didn't have any enhanced speed, she would be four blocks away from the Gunshots by now.

She then pushed her speed up more so.

four blocks became three. Ever since the initial shots were heard, no more were made.

She kept running.

Three blocks were now one. An explosion was heard.

Kendra contacted Speed Man. "Speed Man, I need you to get to my location." She read out the coordinates to him.

Speed Man (closed)
Speed Man activated after Kendra's call got to him. He then teleported to the coordinates of roughly where she heard the gunshots.

He would end up two blocks away from the scene. Due to Weybrook being a city, sound can bounce off of many places, so the rough range of the gunshot is rather large. At the moment, there were no further gunshots to assist Speed Man in finding anything.

With his enhanced senses programmed he heard a metal being destroyed. He then ran towards the sound.

Speed man was getting contacted by Kendra. "Speed Man, I need you to get to my location." She read out the coordinates to him.

"I'm on it!" he then teleported to Kendra's location.

Speed Man and Kendra Littleghost (closed)
Speed Man would appear beside Kendra now. They were still a few blocks from the scene.

Speed Man being the speed of sound went full speed ahead. Kendra following, but slower.

The sound of sirens in the distance were now getting closer.

When Speed Man gets there, he would see a building seemingly intact, aside from a hole in the wall.

He decided to look inside. Kendra finally caught up as well and decided to also look.

The only effect that has happened in the building was the blown hole in the wall and a spot of blood on the floor.

Speed Man decided to jump in while Kendra examined the blood.

The blood didn't seem dry.

Kendra decided to take a sample.

The sirens in the distance continued to get closer.

Kendra then checked on what was going on. Speed Man following. He found nothing of use in that hole.

It seems that the sirens were coming towards them.

They decided to go behind the building and run back to their hotels.

The first cop car rounded the corner, and they began entering the building. The second one was coming to the shop from the backway.

Speed Man decided it would be a good idea to teleport him and Kendra away and back to her hotel.

(If you've read the Sonic and Mega Man crossover comic then you would know that when an organic teleports with a teleporting Robot Master, they then get nauseous afterwards. So Kendra is probably going to feel sick after the teleport)

Chapter 3: The Vigilante Awakens
As usual, every night, the Black Cat prowls the city to snuff out crime. She came later than usual due to more cops being alert, but it didn't mean she was any lazier at her job. As she started her patrol, conflicts begin growing at exponential rates.

The Hellervein Triplets and the Cyborg
On the way to the factory, there seemed to be no attempt for the suit to take over. Halfway through the journey, the fox said, "I think I have full control over my uh... 'legs' now."

"It will be momentary," Triven replied as they rushed to the factory.

When they reach the bridge to the factory, the cyborg began clutching his eyes. "Stop," he said in a painful yet calm manner.

Triven paused. "What?"

"I... something's going on with my eyes," he said. "It feels like it's burning and freezing at the same time.

"Alright, let me see," Simble stepped in front of him.

From Simble's point of view, nothing major looks different. Then, the fox exclaimed "Oh damn, I have thermal vision?"

Simble placed a hand on his head, beginning to scan through him again.

By scanning him, Simble would find out the hard truth. the fox can't be removed physically from his robot side, because it is integrated with his brain. Not just that, his eyes, his ears, just about everywhere.

"Were you cybernetic before meeting Triven?" Simble inquired.

"No.. I was... kidnapped. Set up as a test subject for months. The reason I was able to stop myself from killing him was that I managed to find a loop in their system. I just figured out how to partway gain control of the suit myself."

"Well you have enhancements now at the least," The taller feline noted in attempt to be optimistic. "Now we have only to fix the mental issues."

"Heh, okay," he thought out loud as he slowly stood up.

"Well, let's not waste time," Triven said.

Simble began focusing in, trying to locate where in the body the opposing commands were originating from.

It seem that the brain and the CPU motherboard were now one and the same. It could basically be described as similar to a mental condition.

"This will involve programming," Simble informed. "Either of us are capable, but Glyph has studied this area far more."

"Where is she?" Triven wondered.

"Probably st-... Ah..." His ears flattened. "We... left her... at the library..."

"...I would make a joke, but I'd feel like a hypocrite," the fox said, his eye twitching.

"The computers at the library would be helpful regardless," Triven began picking up the fox again.

"You really can simply... not do that," Simble assured. With a shrug, Triven set the man back down.

"We will travel faster in this manner," Simble waved his hand about in front of them, a blue portal forming.

The fox's eye started twitching again as he gazed in awe at the portal, then he was in shock that he was "understanding" the portal, from how it was made, to where the destination would be.

The group stepped through, glancing briefly to see if the Librarian was still around.

The librarian was right at the door, about to turn off the lights of the library.

The two cat boys walked casually through, looking for the nearest computer.

The librarian, still startled by the experience, was a little frightful to talk to them. "Uh.. e-excuse me?"

The taller brother sighed before turning his attention to the librarian as Triven continued looking for a computer.

"Um, w-we're closing right now.. b-but I guess we could stay open for a little longer," she said, worried.

"We will handle our business as briefly as we can," He replied.

"Um, okay then," she replied, idle at the door.

The computers were on the top floor of the library.

Simble walked off to find Glyph as Triven sat at the computer, looking for any kind of cable.

There was a cable, for each computer at that. The fox walked to the side of Triven. "So what exactly are you planning on doing?" he asked.

"We are going to use this computer to get into your programming."

The fox paused, thinking about it. "You sure it has the power to do that?" he asked curiously.

"We will see."

"What is happening?" Glyph sighed while walking over.

The fox remained silent, looking in awe as he stared at the computer, information and code scattering over his eye. He initially didn't even notice Glyph's presence.

"Who is this?" She waved a hand in front of him.

The coding transfer stopped, and the fox blinked repeatedly as he looked up. He shyly scratched the back of his head. "Sorry about that. My name is Michael," he said.

"... I saw what you did, Michael," She replied before sitting down at the computer. Triven took the cable, looking for an appropriate section of the cyborg's body to connect.

"I... I went viral?" he asked, glancing down at Triven trying to connect him. To Michael's surprise, and possibly the triplets as well, the suit morphed a port when Triven put the cable near him.

Triven plugged him in as Glyph pulled up a command prompt.

"This is... awkward.." he thought, glancing to the computer. The once silent computer fan could now be heard faintly.

The sister feline began going through the connection, opening and downloading various malware programs to pull resources from.

A few more seconds passed, then Michael began feeling woozy and leaned on the computer table, having twitching spasms ever now and then. He glanced at the computer, now trying to figure out exactly what Glyph was trying to do with him.

Once enough was gathered, Glyph began to set up a download feed into Michael's system, the same four songs going over and over into the hundreds as she began using the computer to search through the programming in the cybernetics themselves.

The computer now began heating up, the fan sounding louder but useless. Eventually, the computer froze entirely, and a few seconds later a spark came from the monitor.

(What specifically would be causing that?)

(the systems with the cyborg. Don't worry, a few more turns in the roleplay will reveal why.)

(Alright.  I just wanted to make sure the song part wasn't confused.)

"... Oh wonderous," Glyph sighed.

Michael pondered over what happened. After a moment, he said, "This is a library computer... do you think it lacks the power to understand this?"

"That entirely depends on what 'this' is," She replied. "All that I know of this situation is that Simble wishes that I look into your cybernetics and clean them."

"Well, that's the problem. I don't know what this is, or how it came to be, but I do know that it's my life support. If this shuts down, I die with it... it gave me life at the cost of my freedom." (damn, that actually sounds pretty good. I have to put that quote on his page.)

(Quotes for the ages @_@)

"Well then I am doubly confused as my intent was to analyze and perhaps reprogram, not destroy the programming."

"I was expecting it to be complex," he responded. "It managed to combine Mobian and machine on a whole new level... imagine the evolution of technology if this was widespread... actually..." Michael started thinking to himself about something to himself.

"You are getting ahead of yourself," Triven noted. "You are forgetting that you can be brainwashed by this technology."

"...right I know that, it's just... I think I may know where to get a more reliable computer."

"Why did you bring him here?" Glyph questioned.

"Because you were here," Triven replied.

Glyph looked to the Fox. "Where?"

"I know a TECH facility a few miles from here. I could grant us--" the robot began taking control again, and Michael collapsed to the floor as if he had a seizure.

"... What-"

"The cybernetics," Triven informed.

"... Very well," Glyph pulled him up to face her, placing both hands on his head as she began the same process as Simble had done. "Focus on the room, Triven, Me, yourself."

"T--....trying.." he struggled to say as his hand and feet began charging with energy. While this was happening, even his severed limb began somehow regrowing at a slow but noticeable pace.

She pressed further with the mental control.

The arm was still in the process of repairing itself when Michael went still...

Then he opened his eyes. Eyes that were now blank with expression.

Lavo and Mars (closed)
On the hotel television, the news was still going on about the whole "attempted murder of the cops."

Mars tried to tune out the TV.

Those news had finally ended about a minute later, and then it brought up something new. Something about a restaurant attack, with the news showing a robotic fox seemingly going wild. Prior to this incident, a robbery was attempted but foiled by a citizen.

Lavo was quiet, trying to read the book yet she pets Mars' head. "Mmm... Lot of weird things..."

A recorded piece of footage appears on the screen from one of the restaurant's cameras. The robot may seem familiar to Lavo.

Lavo paused, staring at the footage now. "That Robot...?"

By looking at the robot, she would see that it seems to be some sort of cyborg male blue fox.

"... That seem so familiar..." Lavo mutters. "Male blue fox..." Her ears twitched, looking down at the title-less book. "...Mmmm..."

Mars blinked, looking confused.

Then, due to both of them being wolves, they both will here the sound of the apartment door shutting closed.

'owo?' Mars blinked, curious.

Lavo's ears flicked, confuse. "...What?" She stands up, putting the book into her side bag before going to her door, opening it to looks around. "...?"

There, it would be the first time Mars has seen the vigilante, and the second time for Lavo. Her helmet hid her face, but her stance seemed aggressive.

Lavo paused, yet she didn't say anything as she stares. "..." She figure it had to do with some crimes going on at the current moment, and Lavo figure the Vigilante didn't want attention brought to her.

Surprisingly, the first thing that came out of her mouth was "What did you do?"

Lavo blinks, before lifting an eyebrow. "Mine mine, I'm a subject of questions suddenly? Do tell me what I don't know, maybe I'll enlighten you on the matters."

"You're a target on Weybrook's black market, which was peaceful after the Massacre, and your friend there assaulted the cops."

"Self defense!" Mars shouted in return. "Jeeze.. QwQ"

"Defense or not, you assaulted them, and they'll treat you like that. There's nothing I can do about it either, since the Massacre also lowered the credibility of vigilantes... somehow..."

"They come at me.. I'll handle it with the same force.." Mars muttered darkly.

"I'd suggest you drop that motto if you're not fine staying on this side of the law," she remarked.

However, Lavo stood rather protective of Mars, glaring a bit coldly at her. "Leave him alone" She growls slightly, before glaring. "As for the black Market, I didn't know anything about it. So don't go acting like I commited a crime." She said with a rather cold attitude to her response. "I found a book that didn't belong in a Library, that had no title. I'm someone who takes great interest in supernatural things. End of story. No blood shred, nothing."

"That book is the cause of you being a target. Give it to me," she demanded in a calm but demanding tone.

"No." Lavo bluntly stated, her eyes narrowed coldly at her. "If they want it so badly, then so be it. I'm not unfamiliar with being tracked down." Her arms crossed. "Beside, even if I did give you the book, that won't stop the bounty."

Mars glared at the Vigilante. "Leave us alone.." He whispered, his emotional state was far from stable right now and Szorra was only making things worse.

Still with a blank voice, the vigilante extended her hand for the book. "I know that they'll still come for you. That's what I'm here to prevent. But in order to understand why they're attacking you, I need the book."

Lavo had a glared in her eyes. "The information inside the book is coded, and though I have no doubt that you can decode it. I'm still going to say no." Her tail flicks. "Beside, the moment someone even knows I don't have the book, I'll be consider free game, and possibly a target since they wouldn't know if I knew the information or not." She calmly said.

Mars watched the exchange, slowly getting angrier and angrier at Szorra as things went on; she was making demands and wouldn't leave them alone! He just wanted to be left alone right now and she wasn't helping much. The statement about the law really got to him however.

"There's camera bugs all over this building, there is no one coming. If the book is coded, let me see it right now."

Lavo glares at Szorra, there was a very clear distrust from the mane wolf. "Fine, but you can't take it." She suddenly stated, she took the book from her side-bag, clear for Szorra to see.

Szorra took the book, opening it in front of their faces. After about 15 seconds, she stated, "This is child's play. Literally, they took no effort into this coding. Lend me something to write with."

"Heh, I had a feeling it might be a list of something; most likely something not good since I'm wanted." She gotten a piece of paper and pencil, handing it to her.

As she wrote it down, her face was unable to be seen, but her silent act shows it wasn't good. She turned the paper towards her.

Targets:

Lavo Price

Eve O'La Laha

The Black Cat

''The Black Cat is twenty five million. Her allies are one million each.''

"Apparently, Claws is still active."

"Nothing pointed out that he wouldn't be active." Lavo pointed out. "Troubling thing is, Eve is also here in this hotel. And someone had already try to attack her in her sleep, I don't know who though..." Lavo looks to Mars, petting his head.

Mars looked at the two in confusion, rather curious about these events.

"...Get to Eve, get out of the building. The cameras show no one entering the building at the moment, and they work by shockwave sensing. Unless the enemy is just deciding to casually hover throughout the hotel, it's safe for now.

"Issue is... Eve is asleep, and she doesn't know I'm here; and I can't just leave the book with you." Lavo stated calmly.

Szorra was flipping through the pages, glancing at them. With her high level hyperthymesia, she would be able to remember everything in the book with or without it in her possession.

"One way or the other, we--" she stopped, freezing for a moment, then pulled up a holographic view, where she pulled up a camera to see cops around some robot. But this was a different robot, not like the one on the news.

Mars just watched Szorra warily.

The holographic view would show them all from the view of a camera about a robot disintergrating cops. A very low muttered "shit" came out of the mouth of Szorra.

Mars blinked, honestly he found himself not caring about the live disintegration of the cops shown from the holo-feed.

"Someone seem to be a bit too gun happy, and that statement isn't about the cops." Lavo said dully. "Look, I can't take Eve from here, I'd be accused of Kidnapping; however, you got a problem to go figure out." She looks to Mars.

Szorra gave out a device of some kind with a button on it. "If anything happens, whether you deal with it yourself or not, press that button to alert me. I have a new priority," she stated, speed walking to the door.

Lavo held the device, but she looks to Mars. "...She took the book, didn't she?" She grumbles that statement, clearly she didn't seem happy about that.

She pointed at the nearby counter "Placed it there when you were glancing at the video. If you really think it'll help you in some way, be my guest." Szorra then went out of the apartment door.

Mars looked back at Lavo, a tad confused. "Here I thought I could have a normal day.." He said, looking around now.

"Mars, you know it is never normal when it is involving me..." She mutters, taking the book from the counter and putting it into her bag. "Hmph..." She smirks a bit. "So I'm a wanted target... Nothing new to me, right Mars...?" She looks to Mars.

Mars nodded. "Mhm!"

Lavo nods, sitting on one of the beds in her hotel room. "Best to get some rest..." She said.

Kendra (Closed)
The hotel was seemingly quiet. No signs of danger.

Speed Man let Kendra down and went back to the building to see if he could find what caused the hole.

Kendra stopped feeling nauseous. She walked out of the hotel with her claw gloves at ready. She decided to wall jump up to the top

The hotel was the 14th highest tower in the city, so Kendra would have a great view if she reached to the top before her nausea kicked in.

"Damn these boots" she said in a complaining voice before reaching the top after a long climb.

She then went jumping from building to building looking around for anything suspicious.

From as high up as she is, it will be very difficult for her to be able to see any crime.

"Maybe I should go onto a smaller building." She then dragged off one of the buildings slowly with her claws and went to a smaller building.

At this height, she would just barely manage to see Speed Man with a group of people of some sort.

"What could be going on?" She watched.

Kendra would be too far to see clearly what was happening, or hear what was happening.

She then decided to drop down and ask what was going on.

Then she would hear the gunshots. After that, a plasma shot.

"Oh no...not again..."

Having seen the cops get vaporized she was in shock. Speed Man then passed her with a blue blur. Not wanting to get involved she decided to wander.

Looking around she heard some murmuring. Ignoring it anyway she decided to rest.

After she finished resting she decided to go back to the hotel (Chaotic and Kendra will meet soon).

As she got back in she saw a green and blue hedgehog. "Excuse me?" She said to him. The hedgehog turned around. It was silent.

(...wasn't chaotic in his room this whole chapter? What happened with going through the entrance?)

(He came out to take a break. Chaotic is my character so ye-)

(If you wanted chaotic to have a part in this chapter, you could've just said so, because suddenly coming out of a hotel room to take a break is oddly peculiar. Also, since it's your character, I can't really roleplay for him, so don't wait up on my part until you're done.)

(sorry, was at a friend's overnight)

There walked up to each other. Kendra heard about this hedgehog from Speed Man, but Chaotic had idea who this was. "You're Chaotic right?" she asked. "Yeah, and you are?" He responded

"There's no time to explain right now. One of your old robots just killed many people." She grabbed him by the hand and went running out the door.

Speed Man (closed)
The hotel was seemingly quiet. No signs of danger.

Speed Man let Kendra down and went back to the building to see if he could find what caused the hole.

The cops were still flooding the area, and it was already taped off from anyone else.

He equipped Paint Splash and went to a garbage can and painted over it saying "Long live the king" then dequipped it and yelled out over to the cops "Hey I found some graffiti that may be evidence!"

The cops turned around, but not for the graffiti on the trash can. They turned towards Speed Man for being at the crime scene.

He then scanned the scene quickly while they were distracted by him being there. He then ran.

"...we have a runner, possible suspect," one of the cops stated into his radio.

Speed Man then equipped one if his fellow old Robot Master's weapons, the Swamp Shot. It was a weapon that shot greens sticky liquid, if anyone had went on it or been touched by it then it would be slowed. He shot multiple ones on the ground.

Many of the cops were able to easily avoid this, all of them yelling to freeze as they chased after him.

He then stopped and held his hands up. "I'm not the guy you're looking for. I was there investigating before you came over. I don't know who did it or why, but I know it was with a gun. I had a friend hear it."

One of them began to march up as the rest had their pistols trained on Speed Man. "Vigilantism, helpful or harmful, is illegal. You've also trespassed into the crime scene, potentially causing a contamination.

"Well you see, the friend I talked about has a sample of the blood. I also did a scan while you guys were distracted. Also you may want to put your pistol down," he said in a sotto voice "or do you not know the 3 laws of robotics?"

The cops weren't budging. If anything, Speed Man only gave the group more reasons for him to be arrested. "ON YOUR KNEES, NOW!" the same cop demanded.

"I'm a robot. I can help you, if you resort to violence...I'll ignore the first law."

"LAST WARNING AND WE FIRE! ON THE GROUND!"

"You won't listen to reason will you. I guess I'll have to take drastic measures." He then started charging his buster. "Run. Now." he was visibly pissed off.

Pointing a gun at cops causes them to fire, which is what they did.

He then shot the charged plasma shot at the cop.

As the cops were hit with the blast, The few who had stayed back, like forensic scientists for example, began to radio in backup for a "meta opponent".

He then went running back towards the destroyed building, extending his skates to enhance his speed.

Due to not being the ones with weapons, the scientists got out of the building for safety, while the remaining cops there shot at Speed Man while backing away as well.

Ignoring the shooting he did a scan on the premises.

Nothing more could be scanned other than for the cameras in the area, which were still intact.

He then slowly turned towards the cops and slowly walked.

A sound of another siren was in the distance. Its lights could be seen as well, but it wasn't red and blue police lights... it was yellow and green.

He then ran off.

The truck that came, bearing a TECH symbol, stopped by the crime scene, but since Speed Man was gone, all they could do was search the immediate vicinity.

LIVIC (closed)
He was looking through the black market, looking for his next contract when he saw one that intrigued him.. In Weybrook? One of his previous employers is currently looking to expand his business in Weybrook so this made things convenient for LIVIC.

"Well.. Time to go and 'Capture' this Lavo Price.." LIVIC chuckled, printing out a photo of his target before grabbing his gear; he would have to get to Weybrook by boat, but that mattered little.

With Weybrook being in the center of the ocean, depending on the type of boat, it will either take forever to reach the islands, or not that long.

It was obviously going to be a speed boat, sides he had his gear packed and ready for this job.

It would be a while to get there, but even from the distance, Weybrook was able to be easily spotted due to its sheer size and amount of lights.

There were a few public ports for LIVIC to stop by.

LIVIC made sure his gear was properly concealed before taking one of the ports.

With the cops on major patrol, there would be a lot checking who comes and who goes. As LIVIC reaches the port, he would see the more than normal amount of cops.

LIVIC chuckled, he had all the permits necessary along with military identification anyways so legally there was nothing the cops could do to him in regards to his equipment; especially since he applied as a foreigner from a country with very loose gun laws so trying to detain him would be an overstep of a police officer's authority.

Nonetheless, the cops weren't one to not give second chances after the massacre, and they politely asked for the forms the moment LIVIC got to the port.

He showed them the forms, of course they were under one of his old aliases; one 'Hakim Mufaridi'.

After searching through them, the cops had returned the papers to LIVIC. Welcome to Weybrook, Mr. Mufaridi," one of them said with a smile.

LIVIC smiled. "Yes.. Thank you."

As he entered the city, it seemed pretty peaceful. Nothing major was happening at this night.

LIVIC paid this no mind, he knew that would change once he was done here. Either way, he decided to board the ferry, his first stop at Weybrook being to find a way to get into contact with the local black market dealer in the city if there is one.

The ferry rides in Weybrook were free, due to it being manufactured in a way to be an automatic ferry.

LIVIC chuckled, taking the time to enjoy the fresh air before his mission began in full earnest.

With the nice weather and the purity of the river passing through Weybrook, along with the Lights of the city it would be a grand five minutes of sight seeing.

LIVIC took in the sights for all they were worth. It would be some time before he would be able to appreciate a sight like this again, might as well enjoy it while it lasted.

Once the ferry reached its next station, it would land LIVIC in the middle of the main city of Weybrook, Arden.

LIVIC chuckled, disembarking at the first stop at Weybrook, now all that was left was to find a black market dealer and purchase some extra supplies at a discreet location.

There was a group of people just outside an alley that seemed to be gang related. No cops could do anything about them due to them not breaking any laws.

LIVIC smirked, walking towards the group; if these people had contacts with the local black market then that made things easier for him.

The group stopped chatting as LIVIC walked up, all of them resting their hands by their waist.

"Evening, you wouldn't happen to know where I could stop in for some supplies?" LIVIC asked, he made sure to phrase it in a specific manner so as to alert them of what he may be referring to, provided they knew about black market trade deals and what not.

The group of six glanced at each other, and after a few nods, the one started talking. "We trades lot of things at our shop," he said, walking into the alley. Most of the group did the same

LIVIC followed them, he did keep an eye out and his hand on the handle of his sidearm just in case there was an ambush or an attempted mugging.

The two that didn't follow initially now began to follow. It seemed as if they were planning on taking LIVIC out if he attempted any wrong move.

"So, how long until we get to this shop of yours?" LIVIC asked.

They stopped at the back door of an apartment. One of the thugs unlocked the door and entered in, leaving the door open for everyone else to enter. Two of them went in first, then they waited on LIVIC.

LIVIC entered the shop, glancing at whatever they had in stock; though he already had a rough idea of what he may need for this job it never hurts to have variety in case the original plan goes down the toilet.

The house had nothing on the first floor but there was a door to the basement. A thug opened it and pointed down. "Talk to the man in there," he said.

LIVIC nodded, walking downstairs to speak to the afformentioned man in the basement for some highly fucking illegal geneva convention grade supplies.

There was a white fox there, counting over the money at the table. The shoulder of his shirt were bloody, even though there were no signs of injury on him.

Around the large basement was an assortment of weapons on showcase. From handguns to rocket launchers, to lethal close up weapons, to explosives. Drugs were in here as well. The fox didn't bother looking up at LIVIC as he entered.

LIVIC took a look at the explosives, he could use a few shaped charges.

There were several choices to go for. Classical grenades, C4s, mines, claymores, even experimental weapons, which to say at the least are highly expensive for reasons.

LIVIC had the funds, however this contract didn't cover equipment costs so he wouldn't go for anything high end. To that end he looked at the close range weapons. "I'll need something for the up close and personal encounters."

"It makes no sense to check out the explosives then," the fox replied as he jerked his thumb behind him, showing multiple sharp and blunt items to use inn CQC. From the brass and titanium knuckles, to the knives made for striking right between ribs and through the heart, the the metal baseball bats and crowbars.

"You'd be surprised on that.." LIVIC shrugged. "I see there isn't much in the way of nonstandard equipment here..?" He muttered, he was looking for something along the lines of a phase-blade.

The fox glanced up, intrigued. People asking for things like this was expensive, and with how low business was lately, this was something.

He got out of his seat, walking over to a black chest and opening it up. He turned his head to the direction of LIVIC, motioning him over.

LIVIC did so, taking a look at what was inside the chest.

There were three types of knives to choose from. One of of the knives were made of Ardoncal, a type of metal that can cut through steel better than a hot knife through butter. There were a pair of daggers that secreted acid when it impaled something, and it was shaped to be both a powerful combat knife, and a lightweight throwing knife. The last ones were two sais made of a metal that vibrated at a high frequency. This frequency allows it to break the molecular bonds of metals, allowing it to cut through pretty much anything not resistant to it... which is pretty much almost everything.

"We had a bigger variety, but that nutjob from the Massacre bought most of it."

"The sais will do." LIVIC said. "So what's the price tag on them..?" He asked, twirling the two sais in his hands to get a feel for their weight.

The fox chuckled. "You know how hard it is for us to grab even an ounce of enervibral metal from TECH? You better have the money to pay. 2.5 grand, each," he demanded.

"Of course I do, the money will be wired directly to your account." LIVIC said, taking out a phone and pressing a few buttons. "Five grand, should show up in your ledger."

The fox's grin faded. He was not one for taking money electronically, wanting to see it in cold hard cash. He glanced over to one of his thugs, making twitching his ear twice before looking back at LIVIC while taking out his phone to check his bal.

Indeed, five grand had been transfered, though LIVIC's hand rested upon his holstered handgun. A clear warning not to try anything fishy with him if they wanted to live.

"You should really work on the subtleness of how you signal your help."

"And you should really do some research on me before even thinking to point a gun at me," he remarked, putting his phone away with a glare at LIVIC.

LIVIC didn't point a gun at him, merely rested a hand on his holstered weapon. "The fact that there is information about you floating around on the web is a clear indicator of your incompetence; you won't find any meaningful information on who or what's inside the mask and suit. Matter of fact I'm willing to take a gander that you think your friends will be able to off me?"

(hint on the word "thinking" in my response)

"My crew against you? By your looks, probably not. But I'm not any normal Mobian. Apparently, you've never heard of me, have you?" he said, a small grin appearing on his face.

"No, care to enlighten me..?" LIVIC smirked under the mask. "I can spare a few minutes before my job."

The fox seemed boastful, and for good reason. "No one knows my true name, my true identity. No one knows how old I am. But two things to know: I run these streets, and I am immortal." he turned towards LIVIC. "No bullet will do shit to me."

LIVIC just.. Laughed. "Immortal..? Son, let me tell you something.. Immortality is quite easy to get around; I've done it so many times.. Now let me guess, your 'immortality' is the result of a healing factor, am I wrong?"

The fox folded his arms. "If you considered returning from disintegration as healing, then yes."

"Care to take me up on this wager then? I'm willing to bet my life and reputation that I can put you down with one bullet to the head~" LIVIC asked. "Afterall, you say you're immortal.. So this shouldn't even be a problem to test."

"Bet your life?" he scoffed. "You're bluffing. The moment you shoot me, you'll attempt to make a run for it. And that's where you will undeniably realize that you will never hide from me."

LIVIC just laughed. "You sound so sure of yourself..? But I won't run; death is something I've been seeking for a while now, you can even have your boys seal off the exit if you don't believe me.. So come on, why don't you take this bet.. Unless you're afraid to die~"

"Tell you what," he stated. "You can walk away now, or you can let your stupidity kill you." his smirk was still on his face, as if he was trying goating LIVIC to try.

"Oh I'm willing to gamble~" LIVIC chuckled, drawing the gun and pressing it against the fox's left eye. Unknown to the fox; LIVIC's pistol used nonstandard ammunition in the form of 'Null' rounds; containing a special mixture of elements at the tip of the round meant to disable powers at the cost of penetration.

"Why hesitate? Pull the trigger."

"If you say so~" LIVIC smiled as he squeezed the trigger, firing the round. This would create an entry wound yet no exit wound, leaving the bullet lodged in the fox's brain.

The fox flew back, smacking his head against the wall as he slumped to the floor. The gunshot alerted the thugs right outside, who came in with their guns pointed at LIVIC.

LIVIC smiled, firing two more null rounds into the fox's neck in order to completely sever the brain stem. "Your boss here wanted to test his so called immortality on me.. Tell me, if he's dead does that mean I run these streets now~?" LIVIC asked with a small chuckle.

The fox's eye began blinking as it looked at LIVIC, for some reason with fear in it. The neck and head seemed to be slowly repairing itself, pushing the bullet shrapnel out of it.

(and you realize those rounds were meant to nullify healing factors and the likes? its kinda like that Carbonadium sword deadpool had.)

((Edit; Ignire the previous part in parenthesis, I didnt explain the rounds well enough and this works XD)

"Hmm.. Oh well.." He quickly turned to the thugs before quickly aiming for their foreheads and firing, a two second delay between each shot.

(With the path it is currently taking, I don't think it would be in the fox's personality to state why, so I'll state it now. You bringing up the topic of Deadpool was pretty funny, because that is exactly who I based him off of. When making antagonists for Szorra, I decided to take inspiration from MARVEL instead of DC, my usual choice. When looking at Deadpool, I decided: "What would happen if a god cursed you with regenerative immortality, but you had a serious attitude?" So yeah, his regeneration is a godly curse.)

(Ahhh XD)

With the fox temporarily out of commission, he could only watch what was happening. The next thug entering came in with an assault rifle, firing the moment the barrel of the gun was past the threshold.

LIVIC increased his gravity field to induce bullet drop as he aimed slightly above the next thug's head to compensate for the increased bullet drop.

The bullet did hit, and he dropped to the ground. The next few thugs played it smart. Knowing that their leader would survive, they tossed a bundle of grenades in the room, one of them without their pin. The thug stretched his arm out to close the door and contain the explosion.

LIVIC just ejected the clip while tossing his handgun at the grenade missing its pin, hoping to send it bouncing back into the thug before he closed the door.

The door closed, followed by the door exploding into bits from the grenade when it was knock out. Meanwhile, the fox was up, in the middle of swinging his chair for the back of LIVIC's head.

LIVIC spun around, swinging one of the Sai's at the chair while attempting to deliver a kick to the Fox's chest in the hopes of knocking him to the ground.

The chair was easily ripped in half, but the kick on manage to make the Fox stumble back a bit. The distance was enough for him to open another chest, and pull out a katana of the same properties.

LIVIC smirked, twirling the two sais before making the come hither gesture in an attempt to goad the fox.

"You really don't know me then? I'm also feared for being the greatest sword wielder on this planet!" He said as he charged at LIVIC.

LIVIC just chuckled, allowing the fox to take the first swing; since he could use one of the sais for a blade lock and the other to take a swipe at the fox's neck to decapitate him.

The first thing the fox did wasn't swinging his sword, but having his hand prepped to grab LIVIC's wrist when he closed the distance.

LIVIC dropped one of the Sai's, keeping it afloat using his gravity field as he used his now free hand to attempt to deliver a swift strike to the Fox's trachea while making sure to use the other Sai as a means to parry and riposte should the need arise.

The fox batted away the wrist of LIVIC with his free hand whilst sidestepping to fully dodge the strike, taking to moment to try to cut LIVIC in two at his stomach.

LIVIC blocked with the Sai in his hand before twisting the blade to lock the katana in place, taking out his second pistol using his free hand he pointed at the fox's chest and squeezed the trigger.

The shot hit, but it didn't slow him down. He still had his free hand out and used it to reach for the grab the floating sai whilst using his foot to attempt to kick LIVIC hard in the gut to push him back, all while using his katana hand to attempt to twist the sai out of LIVIC's grip.

LIVIC smirked, wrapping his otherwise free arm around the Fox's leg before spinning and tossing towards the bundle of grenades. Most likely this would result in both melee weapon's flying out of their grasps and embedding themselves in the roof while leaving LIVIC free to aim his pistol at the grenades.

"All I need to do is separate your head from your body, you won't be able to grow that back if both are relatively in one piece."

The fox went with the throw, allowing more momentum to make him reach a side to wall flip off of, allowing him to get back in striking distance with LIVIC. He however chose to dive over to one side of a room, grabbing a nova gas grenade. "And all I need to do is let you take a whiff of this!" he said while biting the pin off.

LIVIC adjusted his aim and fired at the Nova gas grenade in the hopes of causing the grenade to explode in the fox's hands while his mask's air scrubbers would activate to filter out any gas that he may breathe in.

While it did explode in his face, once again it seemed to not phase him even though it did cause him to bleed and bruise. There was enough gas in it for the room to be filled with the poisonous smoke. During the mist of this, the fox grabbed his katana again, moving around the apartment well due to knowing the room inside and out, grabbing more gear.

The fox would've had to jump a fair ways to get the katana as it had been embedded into the roof earlier, and even with an immortal body the gasses affects would still afflict him without proper protection as immortality only prevents you from dying; nothing else.

During this time, LIVIC also grabbed some supplies like the floating sai suspended in his gravity field and some of the shit inside the black chest before going to the guns.

(just letting you know now, the reason the fox was never phased by pain was because he was born with CIPA, the rare disorder where you can't feel pain)

The fox near the threshold of the blown down door, where he got to the bundle of grenades, and decided to pull the pin out of one before tossing it in the direction of the other explosives in the room before escaping.

(Yes, but are there any other affects of the Nova Gas grenade other than just inflicting pain?)

LIVIC grabbed the weapons in the chest and some of the experimental grade stuff before activating his utility belt's force field emitter to protect himself and the experimental goods from the soon to be resulting explosion.

(suffocation and inside muscle deterioration, especially in the respiratory system. Death within 30 seconds for unprotected average mobians.)

Due to the massive amount of explosives in the apartment, the entire floor blew up as a result of the explosion, along with the rest of the building coming down.

(And since he is immortal, he wouldn't die; however muscle deterioration and maybe suffocation might've taken its toll on the fox.)

LIVIC cursed, the force field projector on his utility belt should last through the collapse of the building, allowing him to grab what loot was saved by the forcefield and set about trying to escape.

(It will with more time in the gas. plus I guess it would've been smarter to say he held his breath to lower the amount that entered in his lungs.)

The collapse of the building obviously alerted everyone within the surrounding miles, and it wouldn't be long before cops would come.

LIVIC grabbed what he could, which was everything that wasnt blown up thanks to his gravity powers allowing him to carry anything he wants without worrying about weight or encumberance, and places it all inside the satchel he was carrying his trusty Barret 50 Caliber sniper rifle in before moving to flee the scene.

Xavek (closed)
Xavek decided to wait until there were more confirmed sightings of Lavo and Mars before he would act.

As far as the public media knew, they were off the planet.

But Xavek wasn't relying on public media in this case, why would he when he just received reports that a favored tool of his was en route to Weybrook; he could contact him, and his former associates of the B.E.U; this was a prime opportunity to expand their influence afterall, so getting them to the table should be easy for Xavek.

(Guess we should shout out to Jared then?)

(Yes.)

(well... if he's not coming, do we move on for Xavek, or just move his part into chapter 4 or..)

(Actually, I got this.)

Xavek established a line of communication through a heavily encrypted channel; what may have been odd was the Egg-tech logo on the right hand side of the holographic comms display.

Xavier (Closed)
Looking around at the Weybrook black market Xavier saw a job asking for a "Lavo Price". He then walked out and went on his hunt.

Walking out of the alleyway, Xavier would end up in a quiet part of Weybrook.

"This Lavo should be someone who committed a crime or so help me god I will track down the one who posted that job" He decided to look in a hotel as she may be visiting.

There were dozens upon dozens of hotels to choose from in Weybrook.

"I'll check the closest one first"

The closest hotel was a mile away.

He started walking.

Eventually, he gets to two hotels. One hotel for the higher class, the other high class as well, but not as much.

He decided to go with the latter.

The building was a little while farther to walk to.

He kept walking.

He finally got to the building with no trouble at all. The hotel seemed relatively quiet.

"Anyone here?"

The only one in the lobby was the night employee, who woke up from his doze with a startle.

"Does a Lavo Price stay here?"

"Uhh..." was all the employee said, just now shaking off the last feelings of sleep. "May I help you?"

"I will ask again. Do you know a Lavo Price?"

"N-no.. hold on, sir," he said as he went to the keyboard. "May I have your name please?"

"Why? I'm not planning on staying. I'm looking for someone..."

"I'm sorry, it's just the rules that we have to follow here. For safety reasons." he chuckled. "With all of the assassins here, you'd think our security would've really been amped up by now."

"I am one of those assassins. However I do not plan on killing this Lavo if she's innocent. I only kill those not on the side of justice." he said in a very sorry voice "I will not harm you as I'm absolutely sure your innocent, and I'm 99% sure this Lavo is innocent so someone on the side of injustice is going to die. Guess you could call me one of those vigilantes. Names Xavier. I may actually plan on staying." He said while pulling out some cash

The employee was silent for a moment, then began laughing. "Wow, I almost thought you were serious for a moment!" he chuckled.

Seeing he saw it as a joke he decided to go with it and handed the money "Keep the change." He then went walking out.

"U-um, sir?" the employee asked. "Don't you want your key?"

"Leave it in the room. I have important business to attend to."

"I can't leave it in the room, the only spare keys are the master keys."

He then quickly grabbed the key and walked off just as quick.

Bad Egg Legion (closed)
-Jared, you mind detailing what base the line went to and what the members were doing when Xavek contacted them? Also whether or not they would be surprised that he's still functional seeing as he's a former member of the B.E.U.-

(Okay)

In the office of Dr.Ophelia Danial at the Warsaw, Poliski base in Eurish a encrypted transmission was sent. While the doctor was painting her nails red she heard the phone as her foxy ears picked up the line and started typing on her computer to intercept the transmission. It was no doubt  nighttime in eastern Eurish and most of the base was either on sentry or resting.

-a monitor went off, the odd part being that someone not eggman knew how to contact them.-

"Hmm?" Ophelia said while she opened up the channel.

Xavek's face popped up. "Why hello there, my former associates~" Xavek spoke with a smirk.

"Xavek! Your still functional?" Ophelia said in a rather supprised manner.

"Of course I am, the good doctor only implanted a bomb in one of my bodies.. All I had to do was set it off to fake my own death, but anyways back to business.. I have a bit of a job for your organization.. The successful capture of a runaway experiment of mine along with the one accompanying it."

"I see, what are the details?" She asks.

"Their current location is somewhere called Weybrook, the initial pay on the black market is low but I am willing to sweeten the deal with recently acquired data on the technological advancements of a local organization called the TECH Group.."

"Hmm, while you know I am one to frown upon the utilization of lesser scientific technology than what I can currently develop for the Unit, I do however find it rather interesting to steal the technology from someone else to make it better. Very well, tell me what you need specificly to go happen and I will try to pull some strings." She replied.

"It's quite simple, have a squad picked out for this job and insert them into the city quietly; things have been rather tense due to recent events that ocurred in Weybrook recently and creating a panic will most certainly cause the targets to flee.." Xavek said, transmitting the relevant data along with a few pictures of Lavo and Mars for identification purposes.

"Remember, I want them alive.." Xavek then cut the transmission once all relevant data had been forwarded to Ophelia.

"I know just the group." Ophelia said as she smirked.

Chapter 4: A New Day (closed)
6:00 in the morning, the sun was just starting to peak over the sky. And the city was once again seemingly under siege. The amount of cops increased across the streets, and a public meeting was happening at the duty square about the dangers.

Eve O'La Laha
Eve started to wake up, sitting up as she stretches while she let out a light yawn. She rubs one of her eyes before looking around a bit.

Everything seemed fine, there wasn't much anything out of place at the moment.

"Last night was weird! Maybe I was suffering from lack of sleep or something?" Eve then giggles at herself for that statement as she then gotten out of bed and gets some clothes to go take a shower, a quick one of course; she gotten to plan out what she was going to be doing after all. So, she head for the bathroom as she holds her clothing.

Eve came out once finished and turns on her T.V so she could listen to the news.

The news showed a reporter in front of debris. "--the cause of it. All that the investigators know is that the air is filled with chemical from military equipment, which means it isn't possible make. Either way, whatever caused the building to explode is still at large. So far, over thirty-two casualties were reported, eight of them dead..."

"H-Huh?" Eve was confuse, what happen? She frowns a bit as she brushes her hair and put it into a side pony. Her clothing was of a Dress shirt, knee length skirt, knee socks and shoes. She stares at the news, worry.

"The latest from another building's camera shows the familiar white fox suspect, speeding off the moment of the explosion. Immediately following this, an unknown suspect in a suit of high tech armor managed to reappear out of the explosion, seemingly unharmed, taking military weaponry away from the crime scene..."

"H-Huh?" Eve question, confuse slightly as she watches as she sits on her bed, still brushing her bangs.

"In other news of these latest threats to Weybrook, the store explosion cause is still at large. No one was hurt, and the only major repair needed is a new wall, but investigators are wondering if whether or not these two cases are connected to each other. No evidence points to this at the moment, but everyone is up on their heels." The television then went on to talk about the weather today, with rain coming an hour from now.

Eve was confuse, but she grab her pruse as she turns off the T.V. She was going to find a place to eat breakfast at; she grabs her phone to look up a place in Weybrook that she could eat at.

There was an abundance of places to eat from. Any type of food she wanted was in a ten minute walk from the platinum leaf hotel.

Eve smiles as she goes out to go and get something with Pancakes involve for breakfast meals. She hums as she grab a sun hat and put it on. She left her room and goes to head out of the apartment, smiling brightly; she was going to go for a nearby food place to get some breakfast.

The nearest food store had just opened minutes ago, so there were no other customers in the building.

Eve smiles as she walks into the building, taking her sun hat off as she walks inside.

An employee of the shop greeted Eve, apparently not knowing her. "Congratulations, you're lucky customer number 1! As a reward, anything you buy here is now half priced!" she said, giving Eve a coupon.

Eve smiles brightly at the employee. "Oh Thank you! I want some Blueberry Pancakes please."

"Alright," she cheerfully said as she wrote the order on a notepad. "Anything else?"

"Hot Chocolate as well" Eve smiles brightly. "That will be it, miss!"

"Okay," she said, putting up the notepad. "It will be ready soon ma'am, please take a seat!"

Eve bows her head before heading to a table to sit, humming softly to herself.

A dog, with gothic style attire entered the building, taking a seat on the other side of the table.

Eve blinks, a bit surprised, before giving a very sweet and caring smile at the dog. No words were given though, she didn't want to bother the person after all.

The dog glanced up, nodding then began looking down possibly at a phone. If Eve was professionally good at reading people, his quick glance at her would be suspicious.

Her head tilt, Eve was one for reading people's moods and actions; maybe not completely by heart involving actions; but the mood of the person was how she could develope likeable songs. She blinks as she was confuse at the suspicious vibe she was getting from the person.

Two people would enter the building by now.

Eve looks to the door, before gasping in amazement and shock, she smiles. "Oh my!"

Lavo and Mars
Lavo was sitting on her bed, having some paper out and a pencil as she was sketching out possible places she could go to and where she may best never visit twice. Her eyes skim the paper once she finished drawing and writing out things before looking to Mars quietly.

Mars was just sleeping on Lavo's lap, honestly he needed to sleep after what happened to him last night.

Lavo pets his head, sighing.

Mars shifted around in his sleep. 'Zzzzzz...'

Lavo huff a sigh, looking around a bit. "..."

Unless the TV was on, nothing seemed to be going on. If their sense of smell was above normal for wolves, they might be able to smell something.

She did have the T.V off, but her nose twitched; sniffing. "...?" Lavo blinks, her wolf senses kicked in as she sniffs.

The familiar smell of the assailant from before was back in the building again.

Mars sniffed the air, waking up. '...?'

Lavo gently gotten Mars off of her as she stood up to follow after this smell. "Where are you...?" She growls under her breathe.

The smell wasn't in the room, but it was definitely somewhere in the building.

Mars followed after Lavo, his senses heightened due to the increase of electricity coursing through his nervous system.

Lavo left her room with Mars, sniffing around in search for this person.

The smell was beginning to slowly fade, as if it was leaving the building.

Lavo grumbles as she leaves the building. (will be waiting for Saren)

"....?" Mars followed Lavo still, rather confused at the moment.

The smell was getting stronger, in the direction of someone walking down the street. Cops were starting to walk the streets again this morning, so any hasty movements may attract attention.

Lavo just follows the direction, glancing to Mars before she takes off her jacket and just put the jacket on Mars so he wasn't too noticeable. "..."

While this was happening, the unknown person entered a breakfast shop.

Mars yawned, glancing at lavo in thanks.

Lavo nods to Mars. "Let us get something to eat, shall we?" She enters into the Breakfast shop with Mars at this point.

Mars smiled, nodding his head as he held his belly; the wolf was hungry.

They enter the shop, where the same person they were following sat on one side of the restaurant, apparently not making any hostile move at the moment. Since they were at the shop early, the only other customer here was Eve.

Lavo saw Eve, and notice right away that Eve knew she was here; as Eve spotted her and that happy look on the female's face with the words following. "... Hello Miss Eve." Lavo stated calmly.

Eve, Lavo, and Mars
The waitress was just bringing Eve's breakfast towards her at this moment.

Eve smiles brightly at the waitress. "Thank you!" She then looks at Lavo and Mars. "Come on over!"

Lavo nods, gently moving Mars towards the table Eve was sitting at so they could sit down. [Saren lol]

Mars sat down, though it was plainly obvious that Mars had some trust issues with new people given how on edge he felt right now.

Lavo sits down next to Mars, looking to Eve. "How have you been, Eve? I am still not surprised to see you don't have personal Bodyguards."

Eve smiles warmly at Lavo and Mars. "I have been doing well, Lavo! Beside, Personal Bodyguards would scare a lot of my fans, I rather not have that!"

Lavo frowns a bit. "Even though you could very well be marked up for assassination?"

Eve nods with a smile, brushing her bangs to the side of her face slightly. "Of course!"

The dog made his way to the counter, asking for a cup of water, and once getting it, moved back to his seat, still able to have eyes on Eve at any moment.

(Waiting for Saren [Who is either sleeping or at work by now] Before posting anything lol]

Mars rubbed his eyes to clear them up. "Waaaaaitaminute... Lala's friends with an iconic pop star?" He asked, looking at Lavo and Eve in confusion.

Eve smiles at Mars. "Not like best friends, But we're friends! Lavo was really good at protecting people!" She smiles sweetly.

Lavo blushes a tiny bit. "It had to be done... But, Yes Mars; I'm kind of friends with a Pop Star..."

".... Sooo oddddddd.." He mumbled, finding a sudden urge to focus on something else that was not Eve. '.... Why is it that the oddest things always happen when I decide to take a trip..? q~q'

Eve giggles a bit as Lavo shakes her head. With that, Eve starts eating her Pancakes happily while Lavo glance at the dog from the corner of her eyes.

Eventually, after whatever he wanted was accomplished, he walked out of the building. Due to the windows being very wide, the last glimpse of the dog could be seen going behind the building.

Mars noticed this, and suddenly bolted in a surge of electricity. He was going to tail the dog as something in his gut told him that he was bad JuJu.

Lavo watches Mars leave, nodding. "... I might have to follow him... No, I will have to follow him." She looks to Eve. "Have a nice day miss Eve."

"U-Um... Al-Alright." Eve nods, confuse as she watches Lavo get up and go after Mars and the dog.

Behind the building, its shadow blocking out the rising morning light, the dog was busy breaking open the electrical box for the building.

The electrical box let out a surge of electricity, as if sigalling someone was close by.

The dog instantly backed away, surprised by the sudden output. Guess I dug in a little too much, he thought to himself as he took the cup of water he had, throwing it at the fuse box.

That would've caused it to blow up in his face; and Mars would've landed on his knees as electricity arced off the wet portions of his fur painfully.

Lavo was watching from a 'safe' distance, staring. "Finally, The one trying to kill the Princess show his face; be glad the princess doesn't seem to notice those hunting her down." She spoke, narrowing her eyes.

Due to him backing away prior to the explosion, the only major thing he had to worry about was shrapnel and possible electrical arcs striking him. One way or the other, the assault will have shut out the power in the building, leaving it dark.

Mars growled, slowly standing up before lunging at the dog with the intent to grab onto him.

Seemingly, the dog disappeared just like that.

Lavo's ears perked. "Mars, into the building, now."

In the building, Eve squeaked as she looks around quickly. "O-Oh no."

Mars zipped inside the building.

In the building, the it was completely dark, the dog having a pistol pointed towards Eve's head.

Without even thinking about it, Mars stuck his hands out a la palpatine and send bolts of lightning at the dog, immediately his hands lit up in a torrent of electricity. He was not aiming to incapacitate nor was he aiming to kill, he was going purely on instinct; and instinct involved putting enough volts in the hostile to kill an elephant.

The dog wore a black spandex like suit under his clothing. Not only did his clothing help insulate his body and prevents him from being seen at night, it is also resistant to electricity due to the fact that he attacks it most of the time. The strike did manage to send him back, dropping the gun in his hand as he fell to the floor, singing his clothing.

Thinking quickly, Mars zipped towards the gun as the dog fell. He had hoped to catch it and point it at the dog before the would be assassin could fully react.

(Time to wait for cullen to reply, forgot to tell you.)

(I just woke up =w=; )

Lavo makes her way into the building calmly.

Eve squeaked a tiny bit, unsure what to do at this point.

The dog seemingly teleported towards the gun the moment he reached the ground, which he grabbed.

Lavo's wings expand a bit as she walks over, pulling Eve into one of her arms.

"Oh! La-Lavo?"

"Relax Eve..." Lavo said, her eyes slightly lighting up as she stares at the dog. "So, Would be assassin, how much are you being pay to go after the head of this poor girl?"

The dog turned to Lavo. "Enough," was all he said, anger in his voice, and anger in his eyes... well, for Lavo. For Eve, she may notice anger, and a slight amount of fear? Anxiety?

"Enough? I guess enough for you to be able to buy all the things you need; However, I think you need to get a new job." Lavo huff in a form of annoyance.

Eve was worry, she closed her eyes and starts humming in a sweet, soft melody. (Now, I'm going to wait for Saren, lol. )

Electricity arced off Mars' fur as he snarled at the dog, he was just waiting for the slightest twitch before Mars reacted.

The dog glanced at Mars, then at Eve, then to Lavo. He suddenly disappeared with the gun.

Lavo huff in a form of annoyance. "Mars, relax..." She looks to Eve. "Are you alright?"

"Ye-Yes I am, thank you Lavo." Eve glance up to, well, where Lavo face would be [She assumes]

Mars took a few breaths to calm down.

The employees were finally able to find the emergency flashlights to shine into the room. "Is everyone okay? What's going on?"

"Someone just had a fail assassination, no one is harmed or dead." Lavo spoke, looking top the Employees as she gently let go of Eve, Eve was exhaling a soft sigh.

One of the employees walked over to a switch, turning on the emergency lights. The room glowed red in color.

Mars looked around, trying to remain calm.

"Was the assassin using some kind of super taser?" One of them asked.

"It was a gun, not a taser.." Mars mumbled

"And that Assassin also put water on your fuse box." Lavo commented bluntly.

Eve frowns as she looks down. "I'm so sorry..."

"Where were the cops during all of this?" one of the employees grumbled under their breath, making their way to wards the exit. The other employees proceeded to do the same.

Mars ported away in a surge of electricity at the mention of the police, evidently to avoid dealing with the guys in blue.

Lavo huff a sigh, shaking her head. "Stay safe, Eve."

Eve nods as she watches Lavo leaving. "..."

(Eh, I'll close it here.)

Speed Man (closed)
He began to scan around him to see if he could find any familiar traces.

(familiar traces of what?)

(anything really)

(so... I honestly have no idea what to say, so this is the part where you explain, or, I just say "continue")

"Nothing....Well I guess I should be on the run since I broke the first law of robotics." He decided to try and find a place they would never look. He pulled up a map of the city to see if there are any abandoned buildings.

The only "abandoned" buildings free of cops were in the burnt down neighborhoods of one of Weybrook's other islands.

"I guess I'll go there..." He then teleported to one of them.

All the buildings were either burnt down or extremely charred and weak. At a glance the place seemed abandoned.

He walked into one of them.

The floor cracked and crumbled under his weight.

(is there anything below to keep him from falling in?)

(Sorry, my fault for not being clear. It's about a two-four inch drop, nothing major unless the houses had basements.)

"This place isn't very stable." He said. "I wonder what I can do to clear my name. I did murder like 20 cops so I may have a bit of a problem there, but they wouldn't listen to reason so I had to do something." he went on rambling about what he had done what he could do better

He decided to go into his non-combat form as a disguise and teleported to the hotel he was staying at. He walked in (Mega Man characters have this ability btw)

(This was what he initally was, right? He transformed into it in the cop fight?)

(Right before that. When he teleported to Kendra's location he went to combat form.)

There was a different employee at the desk. Probably because the day and night shifts.

"Excuse me....Person?"

"Yes?" the employee look up at Speed Man.

"Do you have any open rooms?" He asked.

"There is one room we have. The residents have left and it has just been cleaned up not too long ago," he responded.

"I'll take it. How much?"

"It depends on how long you plan on staying, sir," he responded.

"Not quite sure how long I might be staying...a few days maybe." he said.

"We have a three day deal at $60 for the room."

"I'll take it." He handed over the money.

"Thank you for stopping by" the employee replied as he handed over the key.

He walked into his room. Sighing.

(continue, or end?)

(End)

Kendra and Chaotic
"Where are you taking me?" screamed Chaotic. Kendra did not answer and kept running to the building that she and Speed Man were at.

She kept running and was almost there.

It seems the area wasn't as flooded with cops as it was before, but police tape still crossed the area, but now covered with enough space to completely shut down the road, due to Speed Man.

"Damn. Well anyways, your robot caused all this to happen" she said. "Which one?" Chaotic asked. "Speed Man..."

(Would it be fine to put Xavier in? Kendra and Lavo are similar species so he could mistake Kendra for her)

(idk how you manage to mistaken a brown mane wolf for a grey one...)

(never mind then.)

Kendra decided to wall jump up one of the buildings holding Chaotic while doing so. She then scanned around. "Hey Deathstroke, what's going on in the city right now?" Kendra asked. "Who's Deathstroke?" Chaotic said confusingly. He had no idea about Kendra's fourth wall breaking.

Nothing much at the moment was happening. Other than the black market being popular, the city for now, is at peace.

"Thanks Deathstroke!" She said "Who are you talking to...?" Chaotic said. She decided to check out the police station. Chaotic following.

There were multiple police stations throughout Weybrook. The nearest one being seven blocks away.

Kendra looked up at the text above and went walking with Chaotic to that particular police station.

When they get to the same block as the police station, the amount of police officers on the block is enormous.

"Jeez. A lot of them must've died." Chaotic said. They decided to talk to one of the officers.

The cop turned around. "Is there anything that I can help with?"

"What happened over by the blown open restaurant?"

"We're still investigating with that as we speak," he replied, "but there is a robot that you all need to stay weary of."

(I just thought about it and removed the fourth wall breaking that was in the original sentence)

Kendra thought about what she could do. Chaotic decided to call Xavier, someone he had not talked to in years. During the call Xavier mentioned he was busy "looking" someone named Lavo Price. "Do you know a Lavo Price, Kendra?" he asked. "I don't know many people here, but I'll try to find Lavo, she may have something that could help us." Kendra then went on her way to find Lavo. She wasn't just looking for help from her, she was looking to protect her. She didn't know why, but she felt that she was in danger when Chaotic explained it that way (So now they split)

(I'll end it here then..)

Hellervein Triplets
"... This is happening now," Triven took hold of Michael before flying up through the roof, phasing them both through it.

Once through the roof, Michael positioned his power leg in attempt to kick Triven off of him.

Something grabbed hold of the leg, tightening around it as two other somethings grabbed hold of his arms. They were getting higher into the atmosphere, toward space.

Michael's arms began charging up another blast of energy, while the flesh part of Michael began freezing.

Now at the preferred height, Triven moved back from Michael, some feet to his front while a gel-like substance could be felt forming over him. A black flat sphere was forming to his left.

The cyborg began expanding its metal parts on Michael's left arm in order to form a shield. However, it was not expanding this to block anything, only to increase the surface area to delay the gel-like substance forming over, and to block the sphere. Michael's right arm resorted to blasting its energy in the direction of Triven.

The sphere immediately traced the energy, absorbing into it. Immediately after, the gel began converting into some kind of acidic absorbing agent for this energy. Triven's hands began to light up with a black mist. "Rasoul..."

(special acid properties or no?)

(Acid?  Oh my goodness, why did I sa- I was probably being... colorful.  The gel is converting into an aborbing agent meant to dilute and eliminate the energy.  I guess that kind of sounds like acid.)

(oh, cool then.)

Seeing as the energy was being absorbed, Michael resorted to physical strikes, using the shield as a weapon, and swinging it at Triven.

A brief crinkling sound was heard as the fur on Triven stiffined slightly. The shield crashed against his front, giving a ringing clang as some part of Triven was causing a richotte effect against the matter.

The cyborg, confused, used his jet propulsors on his feet to reach back down to Weybrook at dangerously high speeds, due to being so high up in the atmosphere.

He was still being held by this invisible force, which pulled back at him as the gel continued to drain at the energy before Triven reached out with the mist-covered hand toward the metallic arm.

Eventually, the whole cybernetic suit began vibrating at high speeds in order to try to get rid of the gel.

Flicks of the gel were coming off though a great deal of it was already between areas, just being spread further as the hand pressing against the cyborg, burning away at the energy further.

Suddenly, the true Michael came back into view, stopping the cyborg of any struggle. At the cost of this, the 150 lb robot went limp for a few seconds.

A black portal appeared behind him as Triven began moving the both of them through.

Due to not having full control yet, the robot continued to attempt to swing its foot in Triven's direction with all of its force.

Still holding on to the arm with the invisible force, Triven held his visible hand up to the fist, catching it with a burst of the Rasoul Mist filling the metal as they went through.

(continue)

They arrived in the tech facility mentioned prior, with Glyph waiting for them. "I located the area while you were.. tussling."

"Yeah... sorry about that," was all he could say in response. "This one was worse, however. I only partly controlled it, even when I was aware..."

"You will be repaired momentarily," Triven noted as Glyph led them toward one of the more technologically advanced computer. "Your robotic side will be a slim threat against the Rasoul Energy."

"I just want this nightmare to end..." he ended up saying sulkingly.

"That would be preferable," Glyph hooked him up before getting back on the seat. "I've disconnected the internet links in this facility."

"It won't be that easy. That facility is manufactured by one of the most powerful organizations on the planet."

"You'll have to specify."

"TECH facilities. This one is the least important one on this island, but it is still connected via satellite. We'll need a way to loop the cameras not shut them down, or things will start looking suspicious."

"I wasn't aware we were in the mood for subtly," Glyph replied. "Wouldn't you prefer to get the process complete as soon as possible?"

"I'd prefer not to have an entire army on my tail," he said. Then he remembered something, and a smirk curled up upon these lips. "Actually... this won't be as hard as I initially thought it was..."

"... What?"

"It's been so long that I've been gone, I almost forgot that I have some security access to the building... I'll need a phone, or anything that can connect to the internet," he asked.

"No."

"...N-no?" Michael said, confused.

"I am not going to connect you to the internet," She crossed her arms. I would sooner have to fend off the entire military than risk whatever malware or mind-controlling technology that is programmed into you."

"Don't worry about it. I'm a member to TECH."

"... Would you prefer that I simply respond to that statement with silence or that I repeat my previous statement?" She blinked stubbornly.

Michael sighed. "Okay, okay, it's your phone, I won't force you to give it to me..." he began thinking for a moment "...So what's your idea?"

"If you prefer that we hide during this, Triven can change the other systems while you are hooked up to his computer."

"Whatever works to get rid of this virus," he replied with a smirk.

Triven groaned before walking off. Glyph held out the cable to the fox, prompting.

"So how good is your computer?" Michael asked Triven.

Triven paused, turning back slightly. "What?"

"I'm just asking if your computer could possibly handle, err... this.."

"I do not own a computer," He replied before walking forward.

"..wait, what?" Michael turned to Glyph. "I thought you said Triven had a computer?"

"I have been holding this port in front of you to take for the past ten seconds," She informed. "Also, I do not recall speaking about Triven's technology."

"Oh.. um, sorry," he said as he outstretched his arm, the port automatically forming. "It's just that, when you said 'Triven' and 'his computer' in the same sentence, I guess I must've gotten confused."

She shrugged, not particularly bothered by the circumstances. She sat back down and began going through connecting once again.

Michael allowed himself to be plugged into, taking in a deep breath.

Glyph worked into the circuitry, going through each set of programs to find differences.

It was incredibly complicated, almost as complicated as DNA blueprints.

She focused in one finding differences.

(differences as in...?)

(Differences in the programming between the basic body functions in the cybernetics, and the controlling functions not reactive to the body.)

There, Glyph would out that the machine is one with Michael, down to the very muscles and organs of himself. There was a part of the circuitry that wasn't one with Mech, planted on the top right side of his brain.

She focused in on the programming in that section.

The hardware appeared to be damaged. Currently, with the programming in its off state, there was no information coming out of it. However, it had just very dimly began glowing.

"And there we are," She stood up from the computer, extending out a claw, the tip beginning to shrink forward.

Just then, Michael reached out a hand to stop Glyph. "Hold on," he said, struggling to keep the other side of him from coming over. Compared to the other times, this seemed relatively easier, but it still took a while.

She sighed, tapping her foot.

If she was looking at Michael's brain during this, she would see the hardware slowly dim out, and Michael was back in control once again. "Hehe, um, sorry again," he said sheepishly.

She shrugged before sticking the tip of her claw into his head. It passed through as if phasing... exactly as if phasing, only solidifying the front as it reached the piece of hardware to crush it.

The hardware was seemingly tough, almost equal in strength as titanium.

Using the phasing properties in her own claw-matter, Glyph reformed the tip inside of the material, breaking down its molecular structure as she began spreading the phasing over it in order to pull it out

The hardware was attached to Michael's brain. The process of pulling it out would put Michael in temporary pain, but with no permanent damage.

She eventually removed the device, closing her hand around it before sending a bombardment of high-frequency sound blasts within her hand to distrupt and destroy the innerworkings.

The resulting hardware was damaged beyond repair, and Michael was sitting there, occasionally having a spasm while covering his head. "What did.. what did you do?" he said in gritted teeth.

She placed the small hardware on the ground while sitting in front of him. "Express your condition."

"Hurt... a lot of hurt..." he grunted. "I think I might explode... not literally. Well, hopefully not." He began rocking back and forth, holding his head. "You don't happen to have any Tylenol, do you?" he joked, now looking up to Glyph.

"I do not," She cupped his head, forwarding an image of a slow ocean to help sooth his mind and calm.

Michael's breathing began slowing, and he was able to tolerate the pain more "Thanks," he said, giving a grateful smile... then his eyes widened. "I remember," he thought out loud.

"You remember... the capture?"

"Yes," he stated. "I remember where it was. It's on one of the empty islands here, somewhere underground."

"I thought you came from space," Triven noted as he approached.

"No, it's... I wouldn't be surprised if this technology is from space, but I'm from here... I've basically been a living experiment. The thing is, you're kind of right. No technology on Mobius has ever been this complex..."

"We will take your word for it," Glyph stood up. "Best of luck," She turned to walk out.

"... What?" Triven looked to his sister.

"We did not come here for this," She replied. "It is not our responsibility."

"And?" The orange-spiked feline folded his arms. "... We will wait for Simble and he will vote."

Michael sighed. "Well then, best get to him, right?"

(Simble isn't there right now X{D)

(Idk what you're talking about. I never said anything about him being here o3o)

(X{D)

"He was meant to be here with us," Triven vanished.

Michael glanced over to Glyph. "How long does that usually take?" he asked.

"A minute perhaps?"

Michael sighed at this, rubbing his head. "Listen, I-uh.. I'm sorry for pretty much ruining your night..."

"Well we chose to do this so that is also a factor..."

"Yeah, but still, I just feel bad. Every time I seem to try to help someone, or someone tries to help me, things always seem to go downhill."

"I would not consider this 'downhill'... just... inconveniant."

Simble reappeared in front of them with Triven.

Michael glanced over, giving a small mechanical wave.

"... Yes, greetings.  What is it?"

"Umm, you see," Michael started off, "I think I might need help with something, but it is possibly dangerous, and in the end, it doesn't actually mean anything to you guys..."

"What is it?"

"It's... I remember the place where I was kidnapped and turned into this, uh.." Michael looked at himself as if it wasn't his body.. which it wasn't. "...my robot form...."

"Where is it?"

"Somewhere on an abandoned island. I think I may know which one it is, but that place was locked down due to the risk of volcanic activity rising these past few years... we should be safe once we find out how to get underground, however."

"Then you will have to direct us to the location."

The nonrobotic ear of the fox perked up. "Does this mean you're coming?"

"It would appear so."

Michael sighed in relief. "Alright then. It's not far from here...."

(and, I'll mark that for the end of this chapter... I'm going to question Jared about his activity on this again, and eventually once that is solved, chapter 6 can be started)

(M'kay)

Xavek (closed)
(gonna have to help me with a starter for Xavek, or have him do some batman level mystery solving  ^^; )

(is it in Xavek's personality to try to find the book or no?)

(It's a curiosity, and finding the book may lead him to Lavo; whom he has a few old grudges to settle with. So yes.)

There was an electrical service crew at the library, currently trying to figure out the cause of the power outage in the library. Obviously, they would all be in uniform.

Unknown to them, Xavek was in wait.. Sneaking up behind them with his plasma sabers activated for precise, quick kills. If Scarlet's method of disabling electronics was found then they could tie it to her.. Something which Xavek wasn't to keen on allowing on the grounds that he did owe her a small favor.

With that in mind, he swung, aiming for the necks of the service crew members.

Of course, them not being fighters, were able to be easily taken out. However, due to the size of the library, there was actually a group of 16 people throughout the library. Xavek had only taken out two.

Xavek switched to thermal sightings in order to find the remaining service crew members before quietly advancing on the closest group still alive.

A group of four were going down to the basement. Three more were checking the fuse boxes behind the building. Five were checking the wirings to the buildings, and the last two were in one of their trucks, checking through equipment.

Xavek's left gauntlet reconfigured itself into a plasma flail as he followed the group headed down to the basement.

The group's flashlights were on their brightest setting as they walked into the darkness.

"You know, the only reason why I was up on time was because my newborn son woke me up?"

"Oh, sorry about that. I know the struggle."

"Of course you do, you have three kids. I can't even handle my one child."

"Trust me, you get used to it," he said as the group stopped in front of the basement fuse box.

'Should not have come to work tonight..' Xavek thought as his right gauntlet reconfigured itself into something akin to a rotary machine gun.

However, he paused.. Killing them, while extremely satisfying, would only hamper his attempts at secrecy in the long run.. So he just slammed his gauntlet against a wall to simulate the sounds of an unstable structure in the hopes that it would spook these guys into leaving.

"What the hell was that?" one of the employees said.

"I dunno. I do know that I don't want to be caved in like those other people this early morning."

"Same. We'll get the crew out, and examine the problem from a safer view. This building is old anyways."

The men started walking towards the staircase.

Xavek smirked, following them from a distance to make sure they left.

"HEY GUYS!" One yelled to the upper floor workers. This place could be coming down! We'll safely examine the problem from the truck!" They continued walking towards the exit as lights (from the flashlight) on the higher floors began making their way down.

Xavek smirked, now waiting for everyone to leave before heading to the upper floors.

Once all the men were out, they all went towards one of the trucks to do their safer examinations.

And Xavek was free to gather clues at his leisure, meaning he took the time necessary for a thorough sweep of the upper floors for anything of use.

So far, the only clues as to where Lavo was other than the bookshelf area were her footprints from point A to Point B, saying Xavek is using extrasensory vision at the moment.

Xavek chuckled, this meant that all he had to do was follow these tracks.. Or so he hoped.

After a moment, one of the workers came back inside. "Turner, John, where are you guys at, we said to meet outside!" he yelled.

Xavek paid the workers no mind, rather he decided to focus on following the trail and attempted to sneak past the workers while his stealth cloak was still activated.

The worker continued on his search. "Turner, John!... Where the hell are those two..."

Xavek was following the trail, so he was probably on the ground floor by now.

The trail leads to the exit of the building. If Xavek leaves this way, he would be spotted. Meanwhile, the worker was still calling for the two missing workers.

Considering he never deactivated his stealth cloak and these workers probably do not have any experience in detecting anything that is refracting light to hide it's more than likely Xavek would be able to slip by undetected, and if the outside temperature is around 90 degrees Fahrenheit then the slight shimmering effect that occurs when in motion it could easily be written off as a mirage.

(It's kinda close to the north, which is how it gets cold weather in the first place. But whatever, they're all in the truck.)

A while after Xavek escapes, the worker searching for the other man ran out, panicky. When the other electricians asked what happen, he said that they were murdered.

(I guess this is closed?)

(If you're planning on a major scene change after this, then yes, I guess so... are you?)

(Yeah XD)

LIVIC (closed)
As for the aftermath of what had happened cops were all over the nearest four city blocks of the explosion, searching for survivors, searching for clues of the explosion, etc. There seemed to be no trace of the fox, but if LIVIC remembered after all the confusion, he would remember that the fox stated that he would hunt him down.

LIVIC chuckled, he would put an end to the fox. Even if he has to slice off his head and cauterize the wound. With that in mind, LIVIC had arrived in a nearby apartment he had rented out for his stay in Weybrook. Setting his duffel bag down he made a list of possible locations Lavo and Mars might be after closing the blinds and changing out his current equipment.

After compiling the list, which had the apartments, the library and a local power station for the city; he then began to look into sightings of a certain princess by the name of Eve O'La Laha

(continue... again... seriously, I got nothing. I'll make up something on the plans right now.)

(Well, if there is a contract out for Eve's head then he might look into sightings of the princess as well.)

(the contracts for her head came by so many times.. I'm surprised this roleplay managed to dodge them all. Must be Eve's power of good luck, since she survived being assassinated early on in the roleplay and slept peacefully XD)

The last sighting was in the Platinum Leaf Apartments, apparently just on a vacation, some reports say.

(now, question... was he looking up where Eve was on the legit internet, or the black market internet?)

(Both the regular internet and the Deep Web.)

"Hmm.. Well then." He muttered, checking on reports of the princess's activities using the deep web as a sort of comparison. He was checking to see what matched up between the two and coming up with a rough mental framework of Eve's possible locations.

The combination of both confirmed that Eve was in that Apartment in Weybrook, but by checking the deep web, LIVIC may also see a new contract of $600k.

"Interesting.." LIVIC muttered, taking a look at the details of the contract.

The news caught some footage of the white fox leaving the scene by a security camera of another building, as well as LIVIC leaving the scene with his gear. The footage of LIVIC was paused at that point. It seems that LIVIC himself was the target.

LIVIC smiled under his mask. "The game of cat and mouse begins.. Looks like I'll have to operate by night, a worthy challenge~"

Daylight was just appearing over the sky. It wouldn't be long until the city awakens..

LIVIC hadn't actually gotten any sleep, so after making sure the blinds were closed and any trails he could've left online were erased he decided to turn in for some sleep.

(...and I'm guessing that settles LIVIC for this chapter?)

(Yep.)

Chapter 5: Increasing Threats (OPEN)
It would be an hour before evening returned, but it already seemed like the sun was setting due to the location of Weybrook. With night on its way, enemies will now hit harder and faster more often, and with night on its way, the Black Cat will now roam the streets again...

Eve O'La Laha
Eve left the food place, going to start heading back to the hotel; she was frowning as she unsure how to feel about being targeted.

With the hotel opened, the place was quiet as before... oddly too quiet, though everything seemed normal.

Eve was confuse by this, about to head to her room as she glance around. "It is oddly quiet..."

The employee was there again, oddly tossing a paper airplane up into the air. It seems she was bored of the quietness as well, but didn't take in the account that it was unusually quiet.

She looks around, before starting to hum a sweet melody to keep herself calm.

Then the sound of gunshots was heard outside. The employee screamed for a quick second as she ducked under.

Lavo and Mars
Mars had left for one of the higher rooftop vantage points in the city, mainly because he wanted to avoid any trouble with the law or any vigilantes.

Lavo searching for Mars, roaming the streets as she skim around a bit.

Mars hopped down from the building, now walking the streets, he was angry and afraid right now so he traversed the streets quickly.

Lavo kept walking, sniffing slightly for a scent in the air that could lead her to Mars.

The smell of ozone was faint, but easily discernable as Mars' scent. Particularly the scent led her to the industrial area of Weybrook.

Speed Man (closed)
He decided not to just sit around. He needed to clear his name. Still in disguise he walked out of the hotel at normal human speed and make his way to the police station.

(continue)

As he walked he scanned his area to see if he recognized anyone around him.

The only one in the area other than about a few cops was another stranger.

Needing people to talk to other than the cops who may be very questioning, he decided to walk over to the stranger. "Excuse me."

(Your and Xavek's parts are now combined)

Kendra
Kendra would try and find and protect Lavo. She called out her name as she walked around.

Not having any response she decided to go up to the top of the nearest building to see if she could find Lavo. When she got to the top, she then looked around both at the neighboring buildings and at the streets.

From where Kendra was, there was nothing in sight.

Hellervein Triplets
(How do I start this?)

(I'll start it then)

Eventually the group reached a shore, with the sight of three islands in the distance.

"It's on one of those islands, I need more time to remember," he stated as he watched over.

The Triplets looked over the sizes of the islands.

The three abandoned islands were all small, each of them possibly 2-3 square miles on average.

"We are searching for an underground base on each?" Simble asked.

Michael rested his chin on his hand as he thought out loud. "There has to be a way to find this faster...."

"Let's not waste time," Triven started toward the nearest island.

"Alright then..." Michael responded, following behind Triven as they took the bridge to the island.

Triven glanced back and forth for any sign of civilization.

There were signs of civilization alright, but it was a ghost town. It wasn't that big either, due to the island being small.

Once atop the ghost town, Triven immediately phased through the ground.

Other than a few basements of the such, this city seemed empty.

He went further down.

Further down, there was a tunnel of some sort. It was unknown whether or not it was natural or manmade.

He stopped inside of it, hovering through.

It glowed red, the environment uncomfortably warm.

Triven growled slightly. His fingers twitched a bit, a cooling mist forming as he went onward.

While the environment around him cooled, it seemed that the source of the heat wasn't getting cooled. Triven would have to keep this on constantly in order to stay warm.

Triven narrowed his eyes, focusing in on where the heat was coming from: looking for the source of the area.

The area seemed,,, everywhere. Whatever it was, it was behind the rocks. Then, very faintly, there was a clack sound, further down the tunnel.

With a blue shift, Triven quickly travelled to the source location of the sound.

At the end of the tunnel, the clack could still be heard, but it seemed that the tunnel was at its end.

Triven looked about.

It just seemed to be a dead end in the ground, but the clack sound was at its loudest at the end of the tunnel.

Xavek (closed)
Xavek was still roaming around the streets of Weybrook at night it seems, though for what purpose remains to be seen.

(any particular place he is roaming for, or just roamin'?)

(he's just roamin lol XD)

There were still an abnormal amount of cops on the street, though not as many where Xavek is due to them being concentrated around attacked areas. However, the few who were there were on high alert due to the recent tensions.

The only one on the street despite the recent dangers was a robot of some sort.

Xavek only chuckled under his breath, taking note of the robot with a tinge of curiosity.

The robot proceeded to walk towards him."Excuse me," it said.

Speed Man and Xavek
(Xavek gets first turn)

"Who the hell..?" Xavek mumbled. "Yes, what do you want?" He asked.

LIVIC
LIVIC woke up and stretched before entering the bathroom, taking off the suit so he could take a shower and do his routine.. Which consisted of brushing teeth, using the toilet and eating a light dinner. All of this combined took around thirty minutes or so before he was ready to put his suit on and try to find Eve, Lavo and Mars.

After LIVIC finished suiting up, he grabbed some of his gear and extra ammo before silently opening the apartment window and using his gravity powers to stick to the side of the apartment complex. After closing the window and making sure nobody saw him he started to sprint towards the roof.

A few buildings away stood another figure in the distance.

LIVIC stood on the roof of the building, letting out a brief exhale. "What a pain.." He mumbled before taking a look at his surroundings.

There was seemingly no one else in the surroundings, and assuming that LIVIC had to turn his head to scan the environment, if he looks back, the figure will have seemed to disappear.

LIVIC shrugged, running across the rooftops in search of Eve, his first target's, approximate location.

To his right, the same figure was there again, only a building apart, appearing to run along with him.

"Someone's following me.." LIVIC mumbled. "What a pain.."

This person didn't seem to be attacking at the moment, but was following regardless.

LIVIC decided to utilize one of the newer features of his utility belt, but not before sliding down to street level into an alley way; once he was half way to street level and out of sight from the one pursuing him he flicked a small switch on the left side of his utility belt to activate a personal stealth field generator before slowly walking back up to the rooftops.

(how does ze generator work?)

(by projecting a sort of invisible field around the one using it to bounce light off, as for thermal or sonar/echolocation, LIVIC's suit is meant to conceal him by masking his own heat signature and preventing soundwaves that make contact with the suit from bouncing back.)

(Kk)

Despite this, the building away individual seemed to still be able to track LIVIC down, though it wasn't even staring at him at all. Actually, it pretty much wasn't staring at anything.

"....." LIVIC was veeery unhappy now, looks like he would have to take care of this nuisance with extreme prejudice. With that in mind, he decided to move towards a nearby park with the intent to use the trees as cover.

It wasn't long before the stalker was there again, a block away still, as normal. The stalker is apparently trying to sneak, but its tail gave it away.

LIVIC just waited for the stalker to draw in close, using his gravity field to cancel out gravity's effects on him while he waited on a tree branch, holding the vibrating Sai at the ready.

The figure was slowly approaching, but stopped when LIVIC took out the sai. After a moment the subject popped its head into view. It was covered by a black mask. There weren't even eye holes on it.

(How would Szorra even know..?)

LIVIC noted the figure and jumped at her, using his gravity field to add a degree of control to his descent.

(Who said this was Szorra?)

The figure instantly dashed away a good distance to keep at a distance.

"Identify yourself." LIVIC stated plainly, standing up in a defensive posture.

When it spoke, it was a juvenile voice. "Hi, I'm uh... actually what do you want to call me? I was thinking Blind Mask, or..."

"... What..? What the fuck are you playing at kid..?" LIVIC growled, a kid was following him!? This was just too much right now.

The child shyly laugh, the voice sounding feminine. "Well, actually I thought you were someone else, but now that I have a closer look, boy was I wrong," she said, scratching the back of her head, and still not looking directly at LIVIC.

"What the fuck do you want kid?" LIVIC snarled.

The adolescent took a step back. "Hey! I'm only fifteen and a half, you don't have to assault me like that."

"Assault!? Kid if I were you I would go home and forget you ever saw me.." LIVIC spoke in a dangerously calm tone that indicated he was not to be trifled with right now.

The kid awkwardly began backing away. "Just saying you don't have to curse, at me, no need to get angry."

"Just.. Go.." He hissed.

"Going, going..." the child said as she turned aroynd and began increasing in her speed walk until she was behind a building.

LIVIC headed for the hotel Eve was staying at.

The hotel was about ten blocks where LIVIC was. Some policemen were just rounding the corner.

LIVIC noted the police officers, taking count of how many there were as he drew a silenced Taurus .45 ACP

There were five of them, all of them on edge due to the recent crimes the past two days.

LIVIC took aim at the closest police officer, aiming for the head and firing before adjusting his aim to do the same for the others.

If LIVIC wasn't 100% serious, after the first one went down, the others would take cover around cars, trash cans, walls, and anything else of the sort. If he were, two cops would be down.

LIVIC was 120% percent serious, he wasn't going to waste any moves nor was he going to give them time to call in backup. So after the second shot he drew the Sai and manipulated his gravity field in order to start floating for an aerial view so he could take the rest out without any trouble.

With the aerial view, LIVIC would also see the child again, apparently lying about leaving. She apparently took note of LIVIC's actions.

LIVIC sighed, placing three more shots into the heads of each of the still living cops before spinning upside down and firing the last round in the magazine at the girl's midsection as a warning shot.

The girl seemed to dodge the bullets easily. "What is wrong with you!" She yelled out, ducking behind a wall with a small overhang.

LIVIC floated inside the hotel's front door, reloading his weapon as he searched for Eve.

(just gonna let cullen catch up to this part)
