We Are Heroes | Arc 2: Generation Mutation, The Rise of Mu-Tech | (Started/No Longer accepting)

[Ghoulish]

Vaulk remained still as Jon jumped past him and Drake, Vaulk didn't turn to face Jon either but just said. "Well, that wasn't very nice, that was my lift." he then began tightening his grip causing Drake to call out in pain. As the Force of wind came and Jon grabbed the Katana, The 6"7 Vaulks appeared right behind him in what appeared to be a mere instant, it was just as the wind approached that the transition in places occured. The rapid change in pace caused Drake to throw up and pant whilst trying to keep himself from falling to the ground.

"Such a blind attack." Vaulks stated to Jon. "You could have hurt your friends more then me." they were back to back at this point, When suddenly Vaulks landed a what appeared to be regular hit to Jon, however the force was imaculate such strength could resemble that of someone with super strength, the force would send Jon almost 20 metres away.

OOC: normally if in my post as NPC's if I directly say he was hit then you know the opponent is real strong. In closer fights words like "attempted to" or "threw a right hand punch" will be used allowingfor time to dodge, here though im trying to display his strength, so he has to hit.

[Dwarven King]

Ralph, not one to be shown up, charged in after Jon finished showing off his powers. Ralph didn't waste any time and went straight for the strange man. Luckily for him, the man was turned and focused on deflecting Jon's attacks. His hands immediately erupted with lightning. Within seconds, his hands were covered in electricity like metal gauntlets. Without hesitating fro one second, Ralph delivered two punches into the man's back, hoping that he would for sure release Drake. He then glances back at the group to see if a fast runner was ready to grab Drake. If not, he would have to do it.

[Ghoulish]

As Ralph run at Vaulk from behind it was quite obvious Vaulk could not see him or have enough time to react, however, somehow, just as Ralph became millimetres from vaulk he dissapeared and reappeared to Ralphs right with his hands in his pockets. They were both side to side until Vaulk rapidly released a quick right leg kick to ralphs side, sending him also a fair distance away. As Vaulk released his grip from Drake, Drake immediatly jumped forward about 10 metres and remained on 1 knee panting.

Drake looked shocked at Jon and Ralph both quite a distance away. "H-how....If Jon didnt get him...and Ralphs last attack didnt...." he thought to himself whilst holding his arm he considered Jona dn Ralph to be two of his top contenders adn like him they were made to look like chums.

"Don't get excited kid." Vaulk statted to Drake whilst his back was turned to him. "I said I wuld break your arm, and I will." he then turned and began walking casually to the kneeling Drake, Vaulk till had his hands in his pockets.

[Piercer of the Heavens]

Jaime realized that he could try to make a golem toget Drake back. So his hand started to glow purple as he concentrated on the ground. What looked like a slug came out of the ground, but it had huge hands. It was 3 ft long and its hands were 3 ft from finger to finger. Like the Porro Rostrum, it had purple eyes and purple lines going around the golem. It then started rolling toward Vaulk, but the hands stayed in place, the didn't spin with the roll of the golem. It grabbed Drake and then rolled back to the group dropping of Drake. "It worked" Jaime yelled out. [i]Magnus Manuum, thats what I'll name you.[/i] Jiame thought to himself.

[Ghoulish]

Vaulk stopped as he watched the creature grab Drake rapidly and take him back to the group. Vaulk turned to the group.

"A Handy power" Vaulk turned to his right and saw Ralph in the distance. He then turned to his left and saw Jon in the distance.

"I found out what I needed to know." His hands were still in his pockets and he didnt take off his shades. He saw the helicoopter torn up. "Looks like I'm walking back. Unless of course any one else thinks they can stand a chance, 3 weaklings in counting."

Drake was furious still holding his arm he stood up grinding his teeth in pain and staggering.

"Don't....treat me like...I'm nothing....my motto is that to live comes with the cost of living!" Drake smirked. "I can accept this, but it doesn't mean I can't change it!" \

"Your finished. Anyone else? Or am I done here?"

[Techi☺]

While Jon spun through the air, he drooped his right index finger and forced himself to stop a few feet shorter, a finger thing line from about halfway. He got up from his knees and whipped his hair lightly. His Eyes scanned the fight, he wasn't always the most perceptive, but he could smell an up tight drama freak when he needed to. With a few more glances, Jon could tell that if he could sap away at this man's self-esteem and make him doubt himself, than the group would have it. The punch felt like a normal punch before he became whatever he is now, but this guy didn't need to know that. Jon took a step forward with a grin and his calm-cold expression that he practiced from all those times he dealt with those annoying wanna-be's. His eyes filled with clearness, it was impossible to call jon's bluff now. "Such a pussy-hitter, and you're running away now? I thought with you little Bond-Movie-getup' that you'd be worth our time in beating you senseless. But if you were just going to run-away, you might as well go find a rock to die under. Cause if I see you again, we'll just bury you!" His words successfully seeding doubt in the man's mind, judging the man's lack if social-ability, it became quite obvious that this is hurting him more than previously planned.

[Ghoulish]

Vaulk looked down at the sand for a second. He remained still, he then knelt down and grabbed a handful, he stood up slowly and released his grip on the sand and let it blow in the wind. He then turned to face Jon. "I've thrown 2 attacks, and managed to in total make 3 of you look like nothing. Kid, whatever bluff you have, you better make it a reality, I always keep my word. Would you like me to keep another?" Vaulk then began walking towards Jon. His hands were still in his pockets and shades were still on. "I take it your power is Super Strength. Then, you could call me your water to your fire, your rock to your thunder, your weakness." Vaulk continued to walk to Jon.

Drake watched Vaulk walkign towards Jon in shock. He had no idea what Jon was thinking, this guy was soemthing on a whole other level. They didn't sttand a chance! Drake looked at the ground and then called out.

"Leave!" Drake continued to pant. he looked at his arm for a breif moment then at Vaulk with fury. "We get it! We don't stand a chance! what are you thinking Jon?!"

Vaulk stopped for a breif moment.

[Techi☺]

[i]"Idiot! Did Drake know or understand anything? Was he indeed born yesterday? The whole 'we do not stand a chance' bit royaly screwed this whole plan over.I want to question that poor boy's intelligence some more... But it is time to act."[/i] Jon thought, with a grin on his face. He took a step forward then turned to a normal walk. It would appear that these people only recognize Jon's strength, but he also seems to be pretty invulnerable. That attack that was supposed to have proven how weak Jon was, simply didn't scratch him. He gave a small chuckle. "This guy doesn't stand a chance! Those recent moments, we were sloppy and unorganized. But he knows that if we get out act together than he is toast. Why do you think he was ready to walk away? The answer is not mercy, what kind of half-baked tard would think that up? He is also contradicting himself, a tell-tale sign that he's actually shaking in his boots!" What started as a bluff opened his eyes, he knew he was right.

[Ghoulish]

vaulks expression didn't change, as Jon started to walk towards him Vaulk began walking again. He closed his eyes briefly, exhaled and opened them. As he continued walking he stated.

"You all were the 2nd group of subjects to serve the Agents. until recently not just you, all of your friends have just come to terms with your powers, but powers are like flowers, they bloom, only that they don't die out, and they contrinu blooming, constantly. Theyc contirnue to grow stronger, and more powerful. I have been perfecting my own, for over 10 years and I still haven't perfected it." Vaulk was now within 10 metres of Jon. "I located your whereabouts, to test and see if you would be a threat to the [b]UGA[/b], however, I saw no threat, So I was prepared to walk away" Vaulk sighed. "I'll make you regret your actions."

In a rapid instant dash with his hands still in his pockets Vaulk headed for Jon covering the 10 metre gap in .7 seconds. The impact of his dashign off the spot sent a wall of sand into the air.

Drake looked shocked. "What is he thinking!"

[Qu@ke]

Suddenly and without waring something made the man dressed in all black flip backwards to dodge, Jon could probably see it too, a shining white energy arrow just barely missing the man's face. "Take my advice friend, collect yer s*** and start walking." Synth said, making his way to the left of the group; bow in hand and his right eye closed as he sighed. He then raised his right hand up and generated, not a white arrow but a new golden arrow that he loaded up into his bow. "Whatever this new arrow does is coming straight for you and I'll tell you this...I don't miss twice." Synth called out to the man.

ooc: Black, I'm going to PM you

[Ghoulish]

OOC: Please don't control the NPC's...
Vaulks was within 2 metres of Jon when suddenly a white arrow hit the 2 metre gap, Vaulks Jumped back to the 10 metres gap and turned to the group and faced Synth who was walking to the left.

"Hmph." Vaulks began. "Don't miss twice? I encourage you to shoot at me." Vaulks facial expression still did not change.

Drake was still on his knees thinking about the istuation. "Why can't everyone get it?!" Hew though to himself. "This guy didn't just learn his power like we did!, his the real deal, if we don't let him go....we're done for!"

[galesonic]

Damian ran outside as he noticed everyone was outside the cave in the desrt-like area. He noticed a mysterious man there along with a destroyed helicopter, probably destroyed by Jon. Not only that, he saw one of the people in the cave has a bow. He then thought that the guy was able to materialize weaponry. He then saw an arrow next to the mysterious man, signalling that the man was an adversary. Looking around, he spotted some broken stalagmites. With his mind, he picked up one of the stalagmites. He turned it around so that the pointed end at the mysterious man. With enough telekinetic force, he threw the projectile towards the man. After he threw it, he head started to hurt. He knelt to the ground and put his hand on his forehead thinking that it would solve the problem. "Why are these powers giving me a such a bad heachache? I thought it was over." he thought aloud.

[Ghoulish]

Vaulk did not move at all although he did face the direction that the stalgamites came from he didn't hesitate the slightest.

"You all will never learn." He stated as the stagmite approached, when it was within millimetres of Vaulk he suddenly dissapeared. Then within an instant reappeared behind the kneeling damian. His 6"7 hight showed his strength as he remained stern and continuedto have his hands in his pockets.

"You will all never learn." He then quickly lifted his leg and booted Damian's back, the force sent Damian 20 metres away, and laning in the centre of the large gap between Ralph and Jon.

Vaulk then tilted his head to the left to face the not to distant group of 3 or 4. "What you all seem to not un-" Vaulks was cut off byt he sound of a ringtone coming from his pocket. Vaulks took te black phone out and stated.

"Vaulk."

"..............."

"I did not forget."

"........................"

"I'm on my way." Vaulk then put the phone in his pocket and began walking to his right. His black long jacket continued to blow in the wind.

Drake looked shocked but was still furious. he stood up quickly, holding his right arm, black flames surfaced in his eyes. The black dragon transperent arm covered his left uninjured arm. Drake began sprinting forward.

"Ahhhh!" Drake called out as Vaulk continued to walk normally in the opposite direction. "What am i doing Drake thought to himself. he'll kill me at this point! but his not even watching there's no way!" Drake then threw from 20 metres away a left dragon arm at Vaulk, the Dragon arm then extended and grew long, the claw reached up and approached the walking away Vaulk, as it swooped down, within millimetres of Vaulk. "I got him!" Drake thought. Vaulk dissapeared.

He then reapeared to Drake's right. Drake looked shocked as he fell to his knees.

"That's right, I always keep my word. And I said i'd break your arm." petrified, Drake knelt still nnot saying a word. In an instant Vaulk had Drake's wrist, he then kicked Drake's elbow causing a loud:

"SNAP!!!" Drake fell on his stomache in pain. however he could not master the strength to say a word, he was like in shock, laying motionless.

Noticably another helicopter, a similar black one flew until it was above Vaulks. A rope ladder then descended to him as the pilot called out.

"Vaulks sir! The General won't be happy you're late!"

Vaulks didn't reply but just grabbed the rope ladder stating.

"The job of taking down Mu-Tech is yours? Pathetic."

The helicopter then began flying off with Vaulk hanging onto the rope ladder.

Drake continued to lay in pain, he slowly got to his knee constantly holding his broken right arm. He didn't say a word but remained knelt and looking at the ground.

[Qu@ke]

Synth thought about taking the copter out, aiming his bow at it, but the thought subsided and his bow and golden arrow disappeared and he then walked over to Drake to flip him on his back and examine his right arm. "I was quite content with him leaving and was allowing him to do so...then YOU and telekinesis boy over there went and attacked him again." Synth said, knowing that Drake had been the one warning them to let him go in the first place. Synth looked at the arm and placed it comfortably on the soft sand and than examined it although he didn't know what he was doing because he didn't even remember the first aid he should have had as an Archery Instructor. "Well...it's definitely broken..."Synth said and than stood up from crouching over him and then started walking towards the cave. "You all stay here, I'm gonna see if we can't use something in the came to support the idiots arm." Synth said, it was weird, this whole thing didn't seem to effect him whatsoever. Why wasn't he worried about never going back to his past life?

Synth was in the cave scouring for something he could use to help Drake but he didn't see anything good. [i]That man.[/i] Synth thought, thinking about the first cloaked man that had freed them from the cave in the first place. [i]He said he knew everything...everything about my past. Could this be a lie...[/i] Synth said, still looking for things to help Drake, he found a very thin piece of piping and then walked out of the cave and closer to Drake. He knelled down and held the piping against his arm, he then ripped of strips of the white shirt that he was still wearing from the simulations and tied the piping to Drake's arm. "That's not going to do anything we need to get him to that town and get him some real treatment, less his powers treat his body which I doubt." Synth said and then turned to the group. "Look, we need someone who's level headed to lead this group. Drake and Jon are both out and Ralph's no good either. I personally nominate Jaimie but Tristan works too." Synth explained to the group, leaving people wondering why he didn't nominate himself.

[GreyCat]

Tristan let out the breath he was holding. Despite the offers of the Parallel, he didn't leave. He just faded enough to avoid direct attention. And that was hard enough. Every nerve, fiber and cell of his being was yelling for him to run. He didn't know how the others were managing to charge right at the man. Either they were brave to the point of foolhardy, or just plain foolhardy. His bet was on the latter. Either way, they were fools. He settled with a puff of breath. He really had to actually figure out how he was doing these things. It might help him work out how to use what he had.

"Forgive me for being blunt, but you guys are the most idiotic people I have ever met," Tristan said, shaking his head. "What possessed you to attack that man? You have these powers for what, two hours, so you think you can handle anything? You almost got us all killed. And Drake, you're lucky he only took your hand. Hold still." Using the white shirt he salvaged from the room and some scraps of wood, he fashioned and splint and tied it tight around Drake's broken limb. "I guess we really do need to head to the town now, Drake needs a doctor." He looked at Synth. "No. Just no."

[Ghoulish]

Drake didnt reply for a hwile at first he had shock, then sadness... he didnt know why but he felt as if he was dependable, he felt like although he charged in for his own personal greed, deep down, he wanted to protect everyone...but he couldnt, but he had this feeling that he could, even if it was by himself. Drake nodded at both Synth and Tristan.

He gthen went and picked up his katana with his left hand.

'Well then, to Locomo Town?" He questioned as he then headed for the path. thoguhts began circling through his head.

"Pathetic, your all pathetic...the second group....the UGA....Agents and Mu-Tech..." "What are we gonna do." Drake stopped suddenly.

"Everyone I'm sorry. I promise it won't happen again." Drake then continued walking down the path.

[Qu@ke]

Locomo Town, yes, I do believe that's what that man had said-did anyone catch his name by the way?" Synth said to the group, than quickly realized he might have been misunderstood. "Not that crazy guy who just attacked us, but the man who set us free." It was also after he said this that he wouldn't know why anyone would be confused about his question; the man that had attacked them never once mentioned Locomo Town but still he felt the need to clarify.

[Ghoulish]

Drake thought for a second. "Sam...us? Was it? And we have to look for Trak....or Trakle or something like that." Drake then remebered the hologram picture. "A small old guy witha torn lab coat. Maybe he can give us more answers about him?" Drake had still not fiully come to terms with the man known as "Vaulk" he figured that he was apart of the 1st group, and that he wanted to simply test them....but is that what he...really wanted? Drake thought that theird be something else at hand, and then he remembered what the pilot said. "The General" Who could that have been? Is it really possible he was stronger then Vaulks to make him submit to his will like that? The UGA...?

"Mu-tech." Drake began out loud. "Any ideas? I remember the guy said something about robotics on them.

[Dwarven King]

"And why can't I be the leader?" Ralph asked in shocked. "While that guy was holding Drake there, about to break his arm, I tried to come up with a plan! What did any of you do? You just stood there! Hell, everything would have been alright if that idiot Jon hadn't gone and continued to piss him off!" Ralph stopped his rant and took a deep breath. He owned up and tried to make a plan to save someone. What does he get? Told he couldn't be a leader. Then everyone goes and just blatantly attacks the guy! Idiots! Every last one of them. Ralph sighed and started walking off. "Well forget this!" he said over his shoulder. "I'm heading to that town!"

[Qu@ke]

"Easy Fido." Synth said, attempting to get Ralph to stay. "Getting angry and storming off by yourself is no way to act." Synth said to Ralph, and then turned towards him for he had his back to him up until now. Synth was the oldest of the group he suspect; who were the rest? Teenagers, Ralph should've understood that Synth was only trying to test the characteristics of everyone to see who would be the best leader. "Listen here, I know your feeling overconfident right now because you mastered your power first and you defeat your simulation first or whatever. Thats what a simulation is, by the way, a simulation-doesn't help against guys like that now does it?" Synth said, all things considered making a valid point. Synth sighed at the group and looked at all of them. " I know your all scared and confused but you need to know that you'll be fine...at some point." Synth explained and then walked over to Ralph and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Look, making a plan to help Drake was a valiant effort and all and all it wasn't a bade plan, but seeing as your willing to get angry so easily I wouldn't trust you as a leader. Make no mistakes; you've done well and I'm sure Drake appreciates it." Synth said, saying that last part just low enough for the two of them to here. "Look, let's just get to the town and get Drake fixed up, forget all this leader business till then." Synth said, the group now heading for the town of Locomo.

[i]I should be just as scarred as they are but why am I not? Oh yes...I have nothing to look back on...nothing to want to turn to. Why I'm not confused is simple, rational thought makes me able to think that this is how it is and nothing more.[/i] Synth thought and then sighed, thinking his life was quite in shambles.

[Ghoulish]

[i]Meanwhile 100s of Km away...

We see a large technologically advanced city, flying cars and hovering buses are some of the new advanced traits of the city. We see Vaulk walkingg casually to a large skyscraper building paved with crystal windows. Upon entering the skyscraper structure, which undoubtably was in the cnetre of the city and the largest structure within it, he made his way to the elevator, entered it, and ascended.

"What are you doing here." Vaulk questioned to himself until suddenly a black puddle surfaced on the ground and soon formed into a 5"8 man wearing a half white and half black mask that only covered his face. judging from his eyes he was the type to be a smart alec. He wore a black tuxedo and white gloves and formal black shoes.

"Malik." Vaulk finished as the figure bowed before him with an arm pointed out to his right and one across his chest.

"The General called me to Vaulk, possibly to take your number maybe?" The man known as Malik then chuckled. "You aren't in his good books are you, lately?" He then chuckled again.

A frown of frustration surfaced on Vaulk. Suddenly he thrusted his right arm to his right in a rapid motion, aiming for Malik's head, however within an instant Malik appeared underneath his arm, holding his hand and a Kunai pointed to Vaulk's forearm.

"Hohoho," Malik laughed, "Don't take me as a fool Vaulk, I know your power better then anyone. Why you have my number is a complete mystery. Malik then released his arm as the elevator stopped. The doors then opened and the 2 made their way into the large office, with a plain of large wcrystal windows overlooking the city.

The only object in the room was a lrage table in front of a large backwards chair with someone on it. A very large man stood up, he was massive, about 7"3 and full of muscle.

"General." Malik greeted with a bow.

Vaulk then did the same.[/i]

[Dwarven King]

"Alright, fine." Ralph agreed. "No more talks about leaders for now." He started to calm down a bit. "Sorry for snapping. I just don't appreciate being pushed aside like that. I hate being walked over." Ralph sighed and continued to walk towards the town they were told to head too. If any reason, to get medical aid for Drake. His arm need to be fixed as soon as possible. Besides, walking would give everyone something to do. Ralph then turned his attention back to Synth and ask, "How long do you think it will take us to get there?"

[Ghoulish]

[b]In the not so far distance was a small slum like town surroundin g a large coliseum like arena. Was this slum town the Locomo Town the group mentioned?[/b]


Drake stopped as he saw a poor town not to far ahead. "You guys, there, could that be Locomo Town?" Drake really wanted to get his arm fixed. he sufferred a massive blow from Vaulk not just physically but mentally, he was so sure of himself before but now he felt like dirt, like nothing special. The thought caus ehim to clench his fist in anger. "Darn it! I dont care what it takes I'll get my revenge I don't care how far I have to go!"

[Qu@ke]

"The path to revenge often starts with digging two graves." Synth said to Drake, and then walked in front of him to pear at the towns sign in the distance, it read Loc--o town, with two letters that had fallen of or been taken off the sign. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that hell hole is it..." Synth said and then walked toward it and was finally at the entrance to the gate, he looked around the town but didn't see anything, granted there was nothing really to see...

[Ghoulish]

OOC: wasnt supposed to be Locomo Town lol But its okay we'll work with it.

As the group approached Drake Observed the sign. "Hmph, guess this is Locomo Town." he said.

"Ha!" Stated a passing dirty looking villager with one eye closed. He has ragged torn clothes and a dirty smirk. "Locomo Town! That's rich!"

Drake stopped and turned to the passing man. "What was that?"

"You kids aren't from here are ya!" the man questioned as he stopped.

"Obviously not, we don't look like we grew up in a dumpster."

"Your arm says otherwise! ha!"

A vein appeared on Drake's forehead. "What was that!?"

"ha ha ha! this used to be Locomo Town. Until of course...Mu-tech arrived."
