Hisashi looked at Lucas about to tell him something but was interupted by Tequila. "Yea she's right Lucas, let's let Diana recover."

As the three looked at the crime scene an alarm broke out. Hisashi grabbed one of the Elite guards. "What's going on? What's this alarm for?"

He looked at Hisashi and answered. "It's a fire alarm. The new high rise hotel downtown." The guard took off running tword the fire truck. Hisashi looked annoyed. "Damnit we should go. We need to save as many people as possible. It's not like this..." He motioned tword the bloody scene. "Is going anywhere."

Hotel....

Larynx looked around he heard the alarm, he saw the sprinkler system and got upset. He growled and punched a hole into the wall. He pulled out his phone and sent a mass text to his henchmen.

"Find this bastard now. I don't care dead or alive. He cost us this hideout and is more trouble than he's worth. Hurry up the brats will be here soon."

Lucas stood where he was, watching Dominator's lifeless body as everybody else bustled about either to continue their work at the crime scene or to rush to the hotel on fire. After a moment, he spun on his heel and walked towards the car. "What is up with this team and buildings on fire? Fire in the refinery, fire in a hotel, heck, a school's probably going to catch on fire next. I call shotgun!"
 
-Anton-
He pushed the door to the roof open with a heavy step as he took the last of the stairs three at a time, he nearly fell as he adjusted to the gravel. He looked around and saw what he was working with and what he saw was not hopeful, the only real areas to take cover we're behind thin sheet metal vents while the only solid thing to get behind was the structure that lead out onto the roof. While he was looking around he heard the door open again, turning he saw two guards one holding a shotgun while the other had an SMG of some sort and they all saw each other at the same time. Anton spun around with his pistol while the two guards raised their weapons, they all fired at the same time with the SMG wielder missing his burst by a country mile though the shotgun man was more precise but as if by some act of a benevolent god all the pellets scattered around Anton with not a one hitting him. Anton got off two shots both aimed at the first man with the shotgun, the first round missed but the second flew true and caught the man in the neck. It must of taken his spine out as he crumpled backwards onto his friend still in the doorway to the stairs sending them both tumbling down, the man with the SMG lost it as he went as he wasn't prepared for the corpse of his buddy to fall onto him. Anton began to walk to the stairs, it would seem he would need to kill his heart to survive this.
-John (SMG wielding guard)-
John was having a bad say, first he woke up to find out that his wife had left with their kids then his car wouldn't start so he was late to his job, he finally made it to the hotel and went to check in he heard that his two bosses the two villains Chess Mistress and Larynx were here the day he was late. He really thought he was going to get punished but he was able to sneak by without being noticed but when he went to get his rifle he found that it had been taken so he had to get this little SMG he had no training on and to top it all off their was a loose prisoner who had set the building on fire, when he was told to go to the roof with TJ he didn't think the day would get any worse...he was wrong.
"He's on the roof..the prisoner is on the roof I repeat." He said over his radio as he tried to get out from underneath TJ, he though heroes didn't kill and from the reports this guy on the roof was a hero. As he struggled he heard the roof door open and their obscured by the light was the one who had shot TJ, he started to walk down the stairs towards John who began to panic but wasn't able to get out from underneath TJ. John hadn't shut off his radio so the rest of the guards were able to hear what happened next. "You're a hero! You don't kill people! WHO ARE YOU?" Their was a silence before a gun shot was heard.
-Anton-
The man's head seemed to crush almost as the hollow point 9mm round entered his skull but Anton had to time to inspect what he had done though it was starting to set in that he had killed three men today and seriously wounded C.Mistress but he would deal with his conscious when...if he made it to the elite headquarters in something other then a body bag. He grabbed anything he was able to off the two guards, the armored vest of one was the first thing he grabbed as it had multiple pouches for magazines, grenades or anything else of that nature, several more magazines for the pistol that he put in the black armored vest. He grabbed the shotgun and SMG and took them to the roof so that the guards that were to come wouldn't be able to use them he also took the shells shotgun man had, on the second man he found four cyclical grenades two of them read M-18 smoke color white, the third was a red thermite grenade with the last one read Mk-13 flash bang. He put those on the vest as well as he made his way on the roof. He grabbed the shotgun while putting the pistol into the vest, he loaded eight shells into the shotgun and prepared himself for what was to come.​
 
"You'd almost expect a villain with fire powers. But no. They're just buildings on fire," Tequila muttered, following Lucas. "You can have it, I don't want to sit in the front. It's terrifying."

Hisashi walked tword the jeep he shot Tequila a look as he jumped into the drivers seat. "Whatever, let's just hurry back. We gotta find Anton and Dominator's killer."

As Hisashi drove away he saw people flood the street. Signs that read Dominator's praise were plastered all over the buildings. People were crying in the street as if their last flicker of hope had been extinguished.

Hisashi sighed, "this is bad guys. I didn't want to say anything infront of the Elite guys but Dominator is dead. He's like the pillar of the Elite organization. With him gone do we still stand a chance? I mean it was hopeless before but now...."

At hotel.....

Larynx pulled out a pistol and joined his men in the search he kicked down doors and searched everywhere suddenly his phone vibrated. He checked it was a text from C.Mistress. "2 of my pawns have been either knocked out or killed. They were searching the top 8 floors last I checked."

Larynx smiled he sent out another mass text "top 8 floors. If you find him save him for me I wanna kill him"

"Dominator was a piller, yes, but he wasn't the only one. There are plenty of other ex-heroes that went into hiding who were major influences" Lucas answered. "Then again for the elites to fall, is that really a bad thing?"

-Hotel: Ground Floor, Outside-

Lucas got out of the jeep on wobbly legs. "I now understand what Tequila meant," he said.

The street was flooded by first responders but also, as Lucas noted, Elite Spec Ops. He asked one of the spec ops officers what was going on.

"Before the hotel caught on fire, a villain known as Larynx was spotted nearby," the officer explained before being called away.

Lucas looked up at the fire, burning the top of the building and slowly working its way down. If one villain was here, he thought as he quickly made his way to the entrance, there was a high probability that the other was here as well.

Upon reaching the front door, Lucas was stopped by a fireman.

"Hey! You can't go in there!" exclaimed the man to the teen.

"Official hero business," Lucas said without bothering to stop.

"That's fine and dandy but the building is on fire."

"Thank you, Captain Obvious."

"This building was also under construction."

"So?"

"Sooo, it isn't very stable. Those few floors on fire risk collapsing even as we speak."

Lucas grit his teeth. Anton was still in that building, a building about to come down on itself. The teen pressed on, ignoring any futher warnings.
 
-Anton-
He heard the sirens at ground level, they reassured him but the sound of footsteps from the stairwell were less kind to his mind. The recoil pounded into his shoulder as the 00 buckshot left the barrel of his shotgun, the steps on the stairs stopped as he used the pump to load in another shell while he also put another into the tube magazine. It was a stalemate, the door he was pointing at was the only way to the roof and only one person was able to get through it at a time thus a impossible situation was presented to the guards trying to get to Anton. He was only thirty feet from the door and anything that was hit by his shotgun from this range would be devastated and their numbers were useless, they knew that Anton would kill them if they went through the door as evidenced by the two bodies in the stairwell already and whether they were intimidated by a hero that was willing to kill them Anton didn't know and frankly didn't care as he knew they were more then likely getting reinforcements. Anton had two options either to wait here and hope either that his team would be able to get through or the guards would need to retreat due to the fire and both had negative possibilities for his team and himself whether that be one of his team members getting shot or the fire getting to him as well. Their was a...third option, Anton could assault the stair way but he wasn't too confident in himself at the moment between his resent coma and the fatigue he was still able to feel but either way he would need to make a move soon if he was gonna before that stairwell filled up with more than he was able to handle.​
 
Tequila stepped out afterwards, looking up at the blaze. "Seems bad," she murmured to herself, watching Lucas walk off. Frowning, she hurried after him. "Lucas! What the hell are you doing?"

Hisashi gave Lucas a look as if to say he was overreacting. He followed his team into the inferno after apologizing for Lucas' behavior.

"There's no need to be that hard on the Lucas. He's trying to do his job. Just like us."

As the team walked in it seemed like a normal under construction hotel.

"We have visual confirmation that there is a high ranking Villain here. Stay alert. But it doesn't make sense. Why would they torch their hideout."

Hisashi walked tword the stairs. "It's gonna be rough the higher we get. Make sure to test each step before putting all of you weight on it. We'll do a standard floor by floor sweep clearing out civilians as we come across them."

Upper levels....

C.Mistress was gathering her things. She changed her outfit and covered her horrible neck scars with a silk scarf. The lizard man was helping her he was beaten and bruised from his fight with Anton. "Hu..rry....lea..ving" C.Mistress forced herself to say as she covered her neck with her soft flawless hand.

They left the room and started heading down the stairs....


The henchmen hid behind the stairwell. That's when Larynx arrived. He pulled and pushed thugs outta of the way as he walked to tell top. As soon as he got there he smiled, covered his ears and took in a deep breath and yelled out. "BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

the awesome power that was released from his mouth caused the door to fly off of its hinges, over the side of the building. The structure surrounding the stairs exploded, debris flew everywhete. The vibrations from that one word caused the stairwell and the roof to start shaking. The henchmen all tumbled down the stairs unable to deal with Larynx's power.
 
-Anton-
He ducked on instinct as the goddamn door flew past his head along with the sound wave, his ears were ringing along with partial hearing loss and probably bleeding but the bandages around his head would deal with that for now. He stood with his shotgun pointed at the sound source, it was a man wrapped in a trench coat though his face was obscured tbut that didn't matter as Anton fired the buckshot. It missed but it did make the man duck down letting Anton take the pin out of the flash bang grenade and throw it while he yelled a taunt at the new arrival.
"HEY FUCK FACE!" as the flash bang landed near the man he had looked the other direction but Anton had used his powers so it only appeared to be behind him when in fact it was right in front of him, it went off blinding and deafening the man and any guards still near him while Anton then popped both the smoke grenades near the stairs and in the remains of the stairwell and ran towards for the stairs. He bounded past the villain who was blinded and for a brief second Anton thought about painting the walls with the man's grey matter but that thought was trashed as he didn't have time for it, he jumped down to the next floor before dropping the incendiary grenade behind him to block the villain from following for a bit as the flame generated burned at 4000 degrees Fahrenheit so it wasn't something that someone was able to just walk around thought it only burnt of a minute or so but that was enough time for Anton. He bounded down the steps faster then he went up them, a door opened to the stair way and someone's arm appeared but Anton slammed into the door smashing it onto said arm and possibly breaking it ((NON IC CONTENT)Wouldn't it be funny if said arm belonged to C.Mistress so she could hate Anton just a bit more.)) But Anton didn't have time to see.
-
He made it down the last few stairs and below the fire but the stairs ended here and kept doing on the other side of the floor, he opened the door and immediately was face to face with several guards who were trying to keep the fire from spreading any further down. They raised their guns and began to fire as Anton pushed into a side bedroom for cover while he fired back and falling on his back while doing it, a guard walked through the door but got a chest full of buck for his troubles while Anton scrambled to his feet just in time to see another guard rush in but they were both to near to use their firearms so Anton went about pinning him to the wall with his arm while going for that pistol he had. A third guard made his way in and raised his SMG to fire but Anton rolled backwards before raising the pistol and firing into the third guard then plugging the one had pinned to the wall with two slugs. Anton started to pant as he went to one knee, he was really out of shape that was something he was positive of now but the sharp burning pain in his side was of more concerning. He looked down and saw he was bleeding from a bullet wound that went in from the unprotected side of his vest, he put his arm on the wound and felt around thankfully it was a shallow wound with and entrance and exit wound. "Goddamn it, I want these bandages off!" He growled to himself while he ripped his some of the bandages off of his head and face, his beard was gone and his neck and face had partial burns but over all he head and face had suffered the least burns and was almost to the point that the doctors almost didn't bandage his head but in the end did just to prevent any infections. He panted before getting up again and taking his time to get to the other stairs while he held his side, he had ditched the shotgun as he was only able to use one hand as the other was on his new bullet wound. "Gotta keep going." He said as he opened the door and stepped into the stair well.​
 
Tequila nodded, following the others into the torched hotel. "It seems the fire started higher up at least. The lower floors are more stable."
 
The team climbed higher and higher. As they did they passed several traces of a fight. Knocked out or gunned down thugs, broken doors, smashed up walls. "What the hell? This is starting too look like more than just a simple fire. Stay on Guard Lucas, Tequila."

Gun shots echoed through the stairwell. Hisashi looked up and saw a door open. He pointed at the top level and signaled the team to be quiet and approach with caution. Hisashi look the lead he figured he could surprise the enemy, scare him and enter his mind while Tequila and Lucas restrain him.

Hisashi was almost to the top when he saw the person. His eyes got wide and his heart sank. "Anton?"


Roof...

Larynx rubbed his eyes and stood up slowly. He looked seriously angry he was going to give chase when he got a text it read.

'You've been found out. Bring C. Mistress to me. We need to think of another plan to get our hands on a useless. Incompetent fool.'

Larynx glared at his phone then wrote a text to the thugs.

'We're leaving. C.Mistress meet me at the escape point. All others delay the heroes if you kill one bring it's body back with you. A corpse of a useless is better than nothing.'
 
Anton: interact-Hisashi.
First good new he had seen all day was standing in front of him in the form of his team. "Ya we need to get out of here." He winced. "Bastards got me in the side though it seems to be more of a flesh wound then anything major but I would like to get it looked at, also we got a hive of angry armed men around us and at least three villains of b rank or higher in the building with us we need to get out." He said putting the point home again that they needed out. "I bought us some time but how long i'm not sure."


(Yay a short post for once.)​

Tequila blinked, looking up at the ceiling as the two interacted. "I agree. We need to leave, now. That roof is about to cave in on us. Do you know of another stair case?" When the ceiling collapses, it was likely to cause the entire staircase to fall too. The group wouldn't have a chance to ge tout in time if it happened.
 
Hisashi saw the wound and took off his coat. He tore it into long strips and wrapped it around Anton's body. "Ok this should hold you till we get back just hope that nothing else happens till we make it out of here." As if the fates were ease dropping the floor above them fell. The entire structure bowed back and forth but remained standing.

"Shit, that must have been the roof. We need to leave now." Hisashi offered support to his injured comrade. "Here lean on me we'll get you outta here."

Larynx found c.mistress and lizardman. He motioned to a stairwell on the other side of the hotel. As soon as they got to the floor a car was waiting. C. Mistress got in followed by Larynx. When lizard man tried to get in he was stopped my Larynx.

"What the hell?" Larynx pointed at lizard man and nodded at c. Mistress. "I..get ..it." She said. She leaned over Larynx and hypnotized lizard man she told him. "Make sure non of those brats leave here alive. Especially that bastard that hurt me."

Lizard man nodded and dissapered into the duct system.
