MIGUEL BELASCO
(LEGION)

Miguel readies as the press conference that he bought was about to begin. It was difficult, all the local news were busy covering the hostage incident and the final explosion. Miguel wore a very expansive three pieces suit, all black with a bloodred necktie, most of his tatoos had been covered with makeup leaving only a few of them.
"Maybe we should call this off sir, all the eyes and ears will be on the site of the attack, at least for the coming weeks, months maybe, not many are going to see or hear your message"
"Its ok, the few who do will remember us by association, besides its just the begining, I want an agressive media campaign, tv, radio, newspaper, everything, I want my name and face know by everyone, good, bad publicity I want it all", his aid adjust the necktie and pass a brush over the suit.
A TV technician open the door "We are about to begin, could you follow me sir?"
"Yes, of course" Miguel follows the technician and sits near a reporter that are being groomed and reads several papers. He didnt even notice Miguel. Other technician puts a tiny microphone on Miguel suits and others puts even more make up on him and spray his hair. The reporter adjust his seat and practice his smile still ignoring Miguel.
"Silence on the set, we are about to begin on three... two..." the reporter turns to Miguel offering his hand , "Harvey Smith, a pleasure, dont worry the interview will be edited before airing..."
Before Miguel can answer him Harvey turns to the cameras with a plastic smile "Good evening Bien Sombre, this night we have a guest, a new resident of our loved city, hes a well know, respected business man in his country who now wants to make a name here, in our city, Mr. Miguel Belasco, I did say it right?" Harvey chuckles knowing quite well that he misspronounced his lastname.
"Oh, quite right Mr Smith, its an honor be here"
"Well lets begin with..." Miguel then interrupt him, Smith face twist with disgust as he didnt expect that. "Before I wish to send my condolences to the victims of that awful attack... and I want to make an anouncement, I, personally will cover the expenses of all who were hurt in that incident, also I will cover the funeral of the victims..."

*Arsenal walks into a bank and makes Legions Gate appear behind him and starts to hit every guard and civilian that he saw as a threat with swords and lances hitting some more then once before pulling out a katana and approaching the counter and tossing a bag at the clerk*"You know the drill fill the bag with money and if anything goes wrong you may lose some body parts and be responsible for the deaths of many many people including this little girl"*He grabs a girl and puts the katana to her neck and turns Legions gate to aim at a group of people as a women begs him to release her daughter*

Damien sat on the old dusty couch of his former parent's house as he watched the news, and despite the heroes defusing the bombs, he wasn't surprised. "See, Barracuda? There's always a way for them to save the day, even if it's not the nicest way." He smirked at his mask that was on the couch's arm. He gave his voice a raspy tone before answering for his mask, "That's the point, they did it in a way nobody would appreciate." Damien looked away while crossing his arms in disagreement. He then changed the channel, obviously with a remote control, and saw an interview. The bald man on the screen didn't seem like he's 'just another bald dude' on TV, no, the man has caught Damien's interest. He has an interest in things that are not quite normal, even people. When the bald man interrupted the interviewer, Damien was slightly disappointed at what he said. "Paying for people's funerals and expenses? Well, you're sure to hit rock bottom whenever I cause trouble." Damien muttered, sounding like he's bragging even if he doesn't like doing so. He got off from the couch, still leaving the television on as he entered his room.

"They still haven't read the note..." Damien picks up the note he just left before getting out to make mayhem, he then opens it and read it.

Sorry, but I left without your permission.
I felt the need to be out there, causing anarchy since it's my everyday hobby ever since...
But I will be back, and when I do, i'll make sure to give you guys a big hug.
Even if you're... Not quite there, I still hope you read this note.
You don't need to worry about me, I got Barracuda on my side
Even if he's a little bit of a jerk, he's still my best friend.
Also, I want to say sorry to my siblings.
I just ate the last box of cereal, and forgot about you guys.
Don't worry! I'll buy you guys some new ones.

-Damien
​

He then crumpled the paper and threw it aside, along with the other notes he left. He storms out of his room, and into his parent's. There was nothing but two chalk outlines of dead bodies. "Mom... Dad... Are you there..?" Damien kneels down in front of the outlines. "Listen... When will you guys every show up? Everyday I come home with the feeling that you'll great me with a kiss on the cheek or a pat on the back, but all I ever get is the smell of decay in this place. I know i'm acting immature, but I just wish you weren't..." Before he could finish his sentence, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He sobbed as he lays down next to the outlines of his dead parents, "One day, ill find the wretched heroes that did this to you... And I will make them suffer..."​

The interview ends, Miguel has stated what he wants in the city and talked about his planned charity work and even touched the controversy that would arise when the public knows finds that an old church would become a nightclub. Miguel shakes hands with Harvey "thanks for your time and patience Mr. Smith, you have been very good"
"It was nothing Mr. Belasco, and dont worry we will edit the whole thing, we will send you a copy and tell you when it air, I think the next week, at this moment the -hot- thing its that maniac, Barracuda and the guys that fought against him, man, these weirdos are gonna gave us ratings like hell, the national chains will be begging us for footage, etc., ahhh... good times are coming Mr. Belasco"
"Yes, certainly... good times are coming... until next time Mr. Smith"
Once outside Miguel its about to climb into his car when Harvey come out running "Mr. Belasco!! wait!!"
Miguel waits on him, "Whats happen Mr. Smith?" Harvey gasps for air, his face red and sweaty, "just an advice, dont take the first avenue, theres a robbery right now, cops are on the way and they like closing streets, also could be dangerous, seems like theres another weirdo doing it, nothing final yet, just gossip"
"Another one?, not that.. Barracuda guy?"
"No, looks like the circus left the doors open and the freaks and weirdos come out running... well, have care Mr. Belasco..." Harvey waves him good bye and returns to the station.

Out of the blue, something hit Arsenal's joint that was attached to the arm holding the blade at a very heavy impact, possibly so that he could be paralysed and drop the weapon. The action was so swift, it happened before a second could pass. A sonicboom followed as a cat-shaped figure in a full-body black latex suit faded into reality.

"Meow," it purred, "I suppose your plan was not purrfect, and I stopped a catastrophe. Robbing banks, why does everyone want to do that nowadays? Yeesh. With this much power you're better off doing something else. Why can't you just steal a videogame and a TV to plug and play? Or buy a turkey dinner at a restaurant and don't pay? Why a bank of all places? Did you suck at Law school?"

The cat spoke, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am every family's favourite feline friend, Jumpcat. Remember the name, and remember that you got your sorry little butt walloped by a little pussy cat!"

The one known as Jumpcat leaps foward, seeming to aim at Arsenal's nose...

It was a nice evening. Feder's bare form sat in a tree as she talked to her avian friends. This young lass truly was one with nature.

"Listen," she chirps, "you need to be wary of humans, or they'll turn you into slaves, livestock, or something worse..."

The young birds in the nest chirp loudly.

"Yes young ones," she replies, "just look at this place. Once upon a time, a plumage of birds thrived here. Now, humans have invaded our territory and marked it. Spread the word, fledglings."

She then proceeds to jump down from the tree, landing on both feet.

A young boy spots her and begins to blush at the sight of her naked body. She simply looks back in a stern manner, chasing the boy away. With no one else looking, her body morphs into that if a raven's as she soars upwards.

It was warm, warm and heavy. What happened? Leona thought as she regained consciousness, feeling the weight on top of her and a warm liquid soaking through her Mascot outfit...

Slowly, Leona pushed the heavy object down from her chest to her lap and slowly struggled to sit up. It was hot: so hot. The explosions around her had made the air humid and thick with the stench of blood. Looking around through her slightly torn mask she could see that a lot of people had fled the scene or weren't alive to see her remove the "headgear" that blocked her vision.

Leona looked down at her lap. Her face, which moments ago held the smiles and laughter that came with being with George turned to anguish as she saw him, struggling for breath, bleeding out on her lap.

"George!" She screamed, reacting on impulse and hugging him close, crying into the bandana that had fallen on to his shoulder.

He coughed up blood, rasping through his pain: "You should really check behind you in future.. ah ha..". With his short chuckle at the end he coughed up a little more blood, making a retched sound as he felt the blood pour from his mouth.

Remembering the gunshot, Leona wiped her eyes and sat back up with her friend in her arms: forcing a weak smile as the chaos around them continued. "You saved me... You idiot.." she whispered, tears still falling, before continuing as she noticed George start to show fear on his face and grip her arm: ".. But its ok, its going to be ok... I'm going to get you some help..". Before she could even start to motion for her mobile, her action was cut short.

"Leo... Promise me... don't get... yourself in these dangerous.. s..situations anymore..." George strained through his pain, back arching slightly before slouching back down and resting once more. He breathed a laboured breath before saying as normally as he could: "..Next time their won't be a dumb love-struck orphan to save you...".

George smiled up at the crying girl, reaching out to stroke her golden hair once before his arm went limp.

Knowing what had happened, Leona's eyes widened and she held him close, rocking back and forth slightly and not wanting to move from that spot in the middle of a veritable war zone...

"I can't promise you that George... I can't promise you..." Leona whispered in a broken voice.

Miguel its driven back to his ship, the police cars speed beside him.
"Another one, why?, I have lost your trust my Lord?, Im not worthy?" Miguel turns to one of his men "Anything on this new stranger?"
"Nothing yet sir, at this moment its only rumors, what is know is thats a robbery and hostage situation"
The car takes a turn to avoid a police blockage, Miguel then feels a painful jab at his chest "Wha... whats this...?" he grabs his chest as if having an heart attack, his hands cover with fire alarming his men.
"Sir please!! whats happen?, you will set fire to the car!"
"My lord... why? why theres another...?, I feel him, hes near... no, not one... several... " the leather seats begin to catch fire, the smoke begin to fill the car, one of the men try to douse the fire with water from the minibar.
"Yes... theres another... one of us, but not like us... so... its not a test? its a challenge? want to test my mettle lord? if so, I take your challenge gladly... I will prove you that only I deserve your favor, I will prove that I am your hand...!"
The car speed up trying to reach the ship before it burst in flames. As they reach the ship, Miguel men fall from the car coughing and gasping for air. Miguel come out calm, the smoke seems like didnt affect him.
"Get rid of that car, call the StreetDemons, we need to speed up our operations, our Dark Lord has issued a challenge and we must prove him our value, we cant lose or our souls will burn"

The cave was shaking as though an earthquake ran through the caverns and was intent on collapsing the entire place down on him.

"Then I need to wake up!" shouted Peter.

"I'm not stopping you," said the reflection. "You should of already woken up by now. Maybe it's what that Sky girl did to you with her shadows but you should already be awake."

"It can't be her," Peter replied.

"Then what?" asked his reflection. "Unless... You think that someone or something else is keeping you from waking up?"

Peter nodded. "That seems like the most likely answer."

 

[LoveandHate91]

*Arsenal drops his sword but keeps other arm around the girls neck and he turns to the new comer*"You really don't care about this girls life do you but lets see if you will live to see her death or not"*He uses Demon enhancement to get the use of his arm back and grabs a washing poll from Legions gate behind him and puts it to the girls neck with the intention of slicing her throat and then begins to fire straight swords and lances from the gate at Jumpcat*

It took a while, but slowly, the pain subsided from Cassander's head. He couldn't fix his arm, so he expended the energy a different way; boosting the natural painkiller production in his body, basically giving himself a bit of a natural high. It didn't feel like it, though. He only felt a bit numb.

He stood on trembling legs, holding his broken left arm close to his side. He needed to leave before the place was cleared up enough that somebody would start wondering who he was. He made a mental note to clean his mask later; the usually smooth metal surface was now dirty and dull. He didn't like it like that.

As he was about to make his escape - or more accurately limp into the nearest alleyway - something made him pause. He turned back. A girl in... a mascot suit, apparently. He probably would've found it amusing under other circumstances, but right now, he only felt a twinge of guilt as he watched her rock back and forth, holding the unmoving person in her arms.

He knew it was illogical, but it felt as if he had caused this somehow. Surely he could have stopped this before it happened. From the distance he was at, he couldn't tell what had killed the person, assuming the person was even dead. And from her reaction, he assumed they were close. He knew what type of emotional distress people could go through when they were just worrying about close friends, much less losing them. He knew a few of those feelings personally.

He took a few hesitant, limping steps toward the girl. He was being a bit impulsive, but it felt like something he needed to do.

He raised his voice, the modulator in his mask giving it a rattling sound to it, and asked the girl, "Is... Is he dead?"

"You've outdone yourself, American Box Art Kirby!" Jumpcat uses his reflexes to grab a sword with his tail, then proceeds to spin it in order to deflect incoming weapons. Using precision, he used great force to deflect a weapon, aiming it at Arsenal's limb. Using high jumping power, he jumped towards the girl, using the weapons as platforms to guide him, in hopes of rescuing her from his wrath, while delivering kicks to Arsenal's face in order to propel himself away at great speed. The impact was heavy, due to the cat's impossibly strong legs.

"Don't worry mama, your girl is all safe," Jumpcat hands the frightened girl to the presumed mother, "Cato to mano, big guy! I'll show you a real catastrophe! Everyone, you might want to get out, because I'm going to play a really fun game, unfit for kids under 20 years old..."

A great murder of crows spread across the city, lead by a great alpha crow of sorts. With each tree they pass, the cloud of black feathers grew in size, only to dispatch when they were prepared to attack the civilians.

The phenomenom was suspected to be the work of an unseen entity who had previously caused an outbreak in a zoo. Aforementioned outbreak involved only birds, no lions, no alligators, just birds.

The theoretical agent of both phenomenom is dubbed 'The Birdkeeper'. No one has seen The Birdkeeper before, but with the coordinated actions of the bird, there is no doubt that this entity exists. Whether it is human or not is a mystery.

Right now, The Birdkeeper was commanding - controlling - these ravens to strike at humans, pecking and scratching them.

 

[LoveandHate91]

*The Weapon jump cat grabs grows spikes on its handle to hurt Jumpcat as well as the weapons he trys to use as platforms they are made from Demon souls of course Arsenal tosses the girl to the side and swings his katana at Jumpcat to block the incoming with his enhanced strength thanks to the demon enhancement from the Demon Greed and hoping to sever the legs off this annoying cat*

 

[LoveandHate91]

*The weapon Jumpcat grabbed grow spikes to damage jump cat and tentacles to try to keep the weapon connected to Jumpcat as the spikes get bigger and the same with the other weapons they are made from demon souls Arsenal tosses the girl away and swings his Washing poll with his enhanced strength at Jumpingcat to block the kicks as well as try to sever jumping cats legs at the ankles*"You talk to much you should focus more on the fighting"*A few swords are shot at the civilians that have yet to move*

@LoveandHate91

As the bank was evacuated, Jumpcat felt that his legs were starting to swell a little. The exoskeleton-like durability allowed Jumpcat to resist the barbs. "Ow ow ow, so you don't want to share? Did your parents teach you any manners?"

Afterwards, seeing the oncoming attack-the-civilians trick, Jumpcat began to spin around, and with his acceleration, he created a sonicboom to force the civilians to duck, and to deflect the weapons back towards Arsenal, allowing the civilians to evacuate. It was only after this when Jumpcat realised that a weapon was stuck to his tail through barbs and tentacles. His exoskeleton prevented him from realising this.

"Oh, what's this? You've been watching too many Japanese mangos, now have you? Mommy's not going to be happy that her little boy's watching kinky little cartoony pornos~"

"Alright," Jumpcat jumps onto a wall and begins to scale it. "Now let's rock."

 

[LoveandHate91]

*The weapons stop before they hit Arsenal and he sends them in multiple directions aimed for Jumpcat and random civilians but stays he's ground not allowing Jumpcat to take this fight to a place of his chooseing*"How predictable trying to take me to a place where you want to fight with less civilians that I can use"

 

[Crow]

@LoveandHate91

"Sounds like you've escalated from American Box Art Kirby to Shadow the Hedgehog. Nevertheless..."

Jumpcat jumps in order to evade the weapon, then uses each weapon as a platform, causing them to lose momentum and drop. In mere seconds, he was on the opposing wall.

Those who were actually hit and injured were brought out by other civilians, presumably sent to a hospital.

Jumpcat started to bounce around like a pinball, before a sonicboom started to weaken the walls of the bank. His speed and momentum was starting to get fast enough to actually break the walls. The speed sent the tentacle-attached sword flying away back to Arsenal.

"You'll be lucky to see your hentai backlog again!"

Those were Jumpcat's words as rubble began to fall from the ceiling as he bounced like an accelerating pinball.

"And I hope heaven has cheeseburgers!"

 

[LoveandHate91]

*The sword stops before it hits Arsenal and he sends it at a window to smash it before running and jumping out the window and sending some lances back through the open window aiming for Jumpingcat*"Can you do anything besides trying to hit me with my own weapons because that just wont work"*Arsenal holds his washing pool in his hand waiting for JumpingCat to come out*

 

[VoLaTiLe]

Damien left the house to buy some groceries, and the cereal he promised to his siblings, or maybe himself. He wore no costume, just a hooded jacket and black jeans. He brought a bag with him, inside the bag was his jumpsuit and mask, just in case. As he walked to the market, he noticed a group of people fleeing from somewhere. "Trouble..?" He muttered to himself, when he continued to walk, he soon realizes they were running away from the bank, obviously a robbery's going on here. He peek through the doors a little bit, and saw something a bit unusual. "A cat... And a weapon summoner-ish person..?" He places a finger on his chin and looked down, trying to process what the actual hell is going on right now. If he chose to join in, he might be a little overpowered if the two ever teams up. He shrugs before pulling out a grenade from his backpack, "Barracuda, where'd you get this?" he pulls the pin and rolls the grenade inside the bank, then ran away like a troll.

Damien stood in front of the market, realizing he didn't bring any money. "Hmm... We do have powers..." In a flash, he dashed inside of the market and grabbed all the things he need, pick-pocketed a customer, and placed the money inside the cash register. He began walking nonchalantly back to his parent's house, with groceries on both hands. He chuckled at the thought of him having a pretty good time while the heroes are pretty much going through shit.

@LoveandHate91

Jumpcat takes a leap of fate, gracefully evading Arsenal's weapons as he smashed out of the bank, causing the bank to crumble into debris in mere seconds.

"You started it, you're paying for that," Jumpcat laughs. Just then, he hears a large amount of cawing. "Oh come on, can't you come back later or something? I'm fighting this dude over here, Birdkeeper."

Just then, numerous ravens swooped down to peck at surrounding civilians, as well as both Jumpcat and Arsenal.

"Well, the CGI has improved," Jumpcat jokes as he kicks some ravens towards Arsenal. "These guys are probably all over the city by now."

---

Indeed they were. Throughout the city, every human was being attacked by the beaks and talons of the avian darkness. This was clearly unnatural in a way. Some have even tried to infiltrate the indoors, so only fully-shut houses were truly safe from harm.

 

[LoveandHate91]

*Arsenal has his Legion gate fire in front of him to keep birds from attacking him to badly but then moves at Jumpingcat with legion gate still fireing and trys to stab Jumpingcat with his invisible washing poll aimed for the right side of his chest*
