Useless Power? IC

Status
Not open for further replies.
Before Hisashi realizes that he let his power seep out he gets tackled to the ground by something that felt like a truck. Hisashi hit the floor desperately gasping for air as the hit from Alexander knocked the wind and a little spit out of him. Hisashi Saw the intense look on Alexanders face he was completely enveloped in his power. "st..op, Yo..u, Id..io...t" Hisashi kept trying to speak but he could get a full breath. Suddenly Lucas appeared out of nowhere and pulled them appart.

Hisashi Finally took in a deep breath and looked at everyone."i'm, i"m sorry i let my mind wander." Hisashi turned around to face a now terrified Diana. "Diana, i'm sorry i didn't." Hisashi changed his tone "you know what no i'm not sorry. now you know what it feels like to be scarred of those who are higher ranks." Hisashi turned to look at Alexander. "do that shit again and i'll manipulate your mind so you'll see that demon every time you shut your eyes."

Diana interupted. "I know we deserve that and more Hisashi but we don't have the time we need to get back to the control room." Diana continued down the hall way.
 
Alexander gave Hisashi the biggest grin he'd had on his face to date. "Go on I dare you...lets see how fast you can run, I doubt you can outrun light itself." He then relaxed and held out his hand, "Relax man, we had no idea about each others powers right? I had no idea what was going on, Street instincts. so, you scare me shitless, I deck you, we'll call it fair right?" He said, his smile relaxing in to a far more friendly one.
 
Anton had finished his cigarette when they both had stopped fighting and he sighed deeply. "We're going to be killed at this rate." He though to himself if this type of behavior kept up. "If you boys are done I would like to get to the point of us being here." Anton thought of himself as a patient man but as it's going his patience was wearing away slowly and his anger rising.
 
Hisashi sneered at Alexander's extended hand. "Whatever, let's just get this over with." Diana spoke up "um we really need to get going, Dominator is waiting." Hisashi clicked his tongue at his name and walked on.

As Diana continued she finally got to the door to the control room. "They have arrived Dominator." A large man was looming over a monitor looking powerless and stressed out. He turned around excited.

He stood up and walked over, he looked extremely tired, as if he stayed awake for a week straight. The usual Dominator was tall, tanned, cut, and shiney. This one looked like he was 70 years old.

"Um welcome everyone. Um sorry for the mess as you know it has been hectic around hear since the incident. Dominator held out his Hand to Hisashi. "Nightmare, it's..
It's good to see you." Hisashi looked at his hand it was shaking and covered in bruises and cuts. Hisashi just nodded and stuffed his hands in his pockets.

Dominator laughed nervously as he lowered his hand. "Um nice to see the rest of you could make it. Could I offer you anyt"

Hisashi spoke up. "Cut the pleasantries what do you want?"
 
Lucas eyed Dominator. His eyes shifted up, down, up again before he finally looked away. Hisashi was definitely having a good time, being able to finally speak back to the "heroes". Anton looked impatient, probably because of the delay due to the scuffle earlier. Lucas himself was rather indifferent. He hadn't come expecting to help but seeing these former heroes in this state made them almost pitiable. Almost.

Lucas turned his eyes to the back of Hisashi's head, "I think we all know what they want, the only question is," his eyes went back to Dominator, "what makes them think we'd help?"

Anton had lit another cigarette, he was glad that society had made strides forward that made the risks that came with smoking less and treatments had near 100% success rates and thank the gods for that as he didn't think this was going to make him stressed, impatient and angry all with in a span of ten or so minutes. He hears one of the other males ask the question that seemed to be just below the surface. "What makes them think we would help?" Anton thought on the question when that drone had first found him along with Alex, he let the smoke drift out of his nose and mouth as it lifted to the ceiling of the room.

"We'd help because if we don't life is gonna go to shit real fast for all of us, the heroes play pals on the other side of the coin that makes up good and bad use their powers for what most would say was evil but that is really a matter of perspective. The common denominator here is that the Villains well the Villains are like a cancer, they spread wildly with no regard to what they destroy until they eventually kill their host now some would argue that the former heroes before us are the same but I say they are more like a heavy radiation treatment, they hold the cancer back but also destroy healthy tissue in the process but they no longer have their powers and with the treatment gone the disease is spreading." Anton stopped to breath and take a drag from his cigarette. "If we don't help more of our kind, the forgotten ones, the ignored or the ones these heroes decided weren't worth it are going to suffer, I won't stand for that." He finished as he finished the cigarette. He laughed in his head knowing how ironic it was that he was using cancer as a metaphor while smoking.
 
Hisashi looked at Anton then wondered about the irony for a second. he was all set to yell at Dominator for the past but Anton was right. Hisashi shook his head and nodded "he's right. we need to do something." Hisashi walked over to Dominator and took in a deep breath.

"i'm not here for you or the rest of the Elite guys. I'm gonna do something you guys couldn't. I'm gonna fight for everyone and do it while inspiring those who have been told they were useless instead of making them feel like shit."

Hisashi took in a deep breath he was shaking from all the adrenaline. Dominator nodded his head. "your right Hisashi i deserve all of that and more but right now Anton is right. You all need to hit the streets and help those in need."

Just as Dominator spoke an alarm went off Dominator turned and faced another monitor. "looks like c rank villains hastling some high school girls on their way to the shoping district. Anton since your the oldest you should take the lead on this one. Is that ok Nightmare?"

Hisashi looked up "whatever, like i care."

Diana spoke up. "um you should hurry the high school girls are being dragged into an alley."
 
Anton nodded. "I'm taking Hisashi and and Alexander while the others stay here, they need to work off some stress I feel." He said as he started to walk away hearing two sets of footfalls behind him, they were making their way to the area when Anton spoke to the two. "Here's the plan, Hisashi i'm going to put the fear of god into these...gentlemen use your power to prey on that fear keep 'em from running. Alex your his support if they run *Anton dug into his pockets and found some loose coins and handed them to Alex* use these, I saw what you did to that drone last night use the coins and nail the bastards in the legs if they run and try not to hit anything vital." Anton said as they turned into the alley, their was no exit and that would work for Anton. He motioned the two with him to hide on the walls at the entrance trusting that they would know when to move.

He walked into the alley, his shadow growing large as the steady click from his boots grew louder and louder. Their were five c ranks and three school girls who were crying out in terror but they grew quieter and their eyes grew wider as Anton drew closer, the C ranks were just now starting to notice that their prey had gone quiet and were now staring at the entrance to the alley. When they turned to look they saw a man of about 6'2", heavy boots, black jeans and a vest on his torso that led up to his head which was partially covered in shadow only showing his mouth and facial hair. One of them took a step forward. "Oi, who the fuck do you think you are mate? Don't you see we're trying to have some fun here." Behind him the other four added their own words. "Oh I get it, you're one of those people that get off by watching huh?" He was ignored by the man who had walked into the alley. "Oi fucker can't speak or what!"

Anton had his eye's shut as he listened to the man, and his voice...annoyed Anton. "I am...here for you five." He said as he opened his eye's and looked at the man who spoke. 'You all have been very very bad." The man stepped up to Anton and tried to swing at him, it was sloppy and hit the wall near him and it put a hole into it. "Strength hmm." Anton thought as he grabbed the offending arm that was now overextended and pulled it just a bit further out and then smashed his fist into the outer part of the mans elbow caving his joint in the wrong way while breaking the bone and making it pierce the flesh of the man's arm he then pushed him back to his group who looked quite unnerved at this point not having to deal with people who fought back and the girls had retreated deeper into the alley and hid."Good." He thought. "Yes I am here for you five, I'm here tO RIP YOUR FLESH AND SINEW FROM YOUR BONES!" He yelled with a half crazed grin. Now it was Hisashi's turn as Anton had got the party started.
 
Hisashi just nodded and followed Anton. He looked up at Dominator and sneered at him as he passed him he whispered. "How the mighty have fallen."

Anton was talking stratagy as the walked but all Hisashi could think about was how his confrontation with Dominator was unfulfilling. That's when he saw Anton jump into action he watched as he broke the guys arm like it was nothing. He turned to Alexander. "Woah what was his power again he's like a tank."

Hisashi saw his chance they were all frightened. He infiltrated their minds and walked out of hiding. "Flesh, I desire human flesh." He said while projecting the blood covered Demon into their brains.
 
As the useless heroes were engaged with the C rank villains someone was watching them. That someone was wrapped in a dark trench coat. Judging by their height they were male. Suddenly the shadowy figure started making a weird scratchy noise as if he was laughing but more metallic, he watched the unaware heroes and pulled out a phone.

He punched some numbers and held the phone up to his ear. It rand and the other person answered. "Is that you larynx?"

The shadow smiled and pressed a button on his phone signaling it was him. "Can you see them?" Larynx pressed another button. "Can you handle them alone.?" Larynx shook his head pressing two buttons this time. "That is a shame. Just keep an eye on them for now. They're actually helping us empty the trash. But as soon as they get to close to our main players call me again."

Larynx nodded and hung up. He stuffed the phone I his pocket and made a gun with his fingers aiming them at the group. He smiled and laughed, the same scratchy metallic sound echoed amongst the roof tops.

Meanwhile, Lucas had tailed the three other useless to the alley. Now, he sat outside an ice cream shop across the street, happily eating a scoop of rocky-road. The C ranks didn't look like they were enjoying themselves after Anton showed up and broke someone's arm. The teenage girls didn't seem to be enjoying their day either. Even though the three useless seemed to have everything under control, Lucas had a nagging feeling that he should at least go over to help escort the girls out of the alley before Anton ripped the rest of the C ranks in half.

As Lucas considered going over, he noticed a dark figure observing the three heroes. Although he decided that drawing the figure's attention would be a bad idea, Lucas took a quick snapshot of the figure with his own cellphone. He then settled back down into his chair.

Another one tried to hit Anton, no form and one at a time made any power these fools had useless against Anton as his fighting experience let him avoid the hits they tried to land on him. This one was even worse as he seemed quite frightened, Anton had to guess it was Hisashi's work. He raised his leg and kicked the man in the sternum which pushed him against the wall letting Anton close the distance planting a hook into the jaw of the man knocking him out. That was two down as the one who's arm he broke seemed to be in shock from both pain as fear, the last three were cowering in front of him but they still stood, he pulled out his kukri and pointed it at them. "Kneel." He said in a calm voice as their fear addled minds latched onto the rock that was his voice falling back to lesser human instinct getting on their knees. Now most who would of seen this would think Anton was going to kill them but really it just allowed him to get behind them to send them to the land of dreams faster. He turned to Hisashi as he sheathed his blade. "Well that went well all things considered. I...wait a second." Anton looked past Hisashi at a ice cream shop, sitting was one of the others from the meeting, his name started with an L, Lucas or something along those lines. "It seems we had a tag along." He said as he pointed across the street.
 
Lucas lifted his ice cream and flashed a quick smile at Anton. Since Anton had pointed at him, Lucas assumed that the figure must've followed the finger and seen him too. He turned to the mysterious figure and raised his ice cream to it as well, letting Anton that someone, or something, was watching the group.
 
Hisashi, watched as Anton continued to beat on his opponents physically while Hisashi attacked from the mind. It was mentally draining keeping the image in the heads of all 6 of them. The fight was going over a minute which was Hisashi's limit, he fell to his knees trying to prolong the image. Blood started to flow from his nose, his eyes watered. The image of the demon who was terrorizing the villains started to fade.

Hisashi finally witnessed Anton command them all to kneel. It was over, Hisashi severed the connection and closed his eyes. "Damnit, I went over." He pulled out his hanker chief and pessed it up against his nose. He called out to Anton. "Quickly Bind them while they're in a state of shock"

(Just going to assume that means put some sort of trace so they are found and taken away.) Anton ignored Lucas and his gesture up for now, he walked to the Cs and tagged them with a marker that lit up on a radar scanner for drones to take away or guard until someone made it here to get them and since all of them were knocked out they wouldn't be a problem. He walked up to Hisashi and looked at him rather intensely. "Nose bleed from the mental strain? Also is it only a minute period or is it based on how many targets you are tying to affect at one time?" Anton was curious about the teens powers, to make an image appear that put fear in a target was useful but as with earlier it seemed to not work on those with a stronger will than the caster.
 
(I meant bind them)

Hisashi watched as the drones came placing an energy field around the villains as they awaited pick up. Anton approached. "Yeah its usually a minute, now you know why I'm classified as useless." Hisashi tried standing but his knees buckled. "The mental strain is pretty bad, it feels like someone hooked my brain up to a pair of jumper cables. If I go further it gets 100 times more intense."

After a short rest Hisashi stood up and started walking he looked around. "Where are the girls? We should see if this is a random act of assault or if there was a deeper meaning?"
 
Seeing how the useless chose to focus on the C ranks, Lucas sat back down and turned his attention to the shady figure. If it did see him greet it, it didn't respond.

Lucas silently debated with himself whether to approach the figure or help his fellow useless. He finally shook his head and settled back down, deciding to focus on the most important thing at that moment: his ice cream.

"Not that useless. They went deeper into the alley, you can handle them they saw me mutilate that one man's arm so they might be a bit fearful of me. I'm going to see what Lucas wants since he followed us." Anton said as he walked across the street.

Anton stood over him and tapped the chair with his boot getting Lucas's attention, Anton then waited for him to speak.
 
Hisashi nodded as he leaned up against the wall for support. "Fine you go I'll stay here and wait for the pick up." Hisashi waited till Anton was clearly out of view. He dropped to his knees and started coughing. "Damnit." Hisashi reached into his pocket and pulled out a small capsule, he twisted it and popped a small blue pill into his hand. With his hand shaking he popped the pill in his mouth and started chewing. He the pulled his knees to his chest and rested his head on his knees. "I really am useless."

Larynx the man in the coat watched as the team split, he saw Hisashi was vulnerable but decided not to act since he was told to let them clean up for them. He turned and decided it was enough for the day that's when he saw him. The boy in the ice cream shop was clearly looking at him. Larynx lifted his hat at the boy and disapearing into the city.

Hisashi watched as the police force collected the C rank villains and proceeded to inject them with sedatives to keep them to groggy to use their powers. Hisashi waved them off and continued to the ice cream shop his headache long gone.
 
Lucas looked up from his ice cream, "Hey, 'sup? Kinda hurt my feelings when you left me behind so I decided to come along anyway. By the way, do you know that guy?" Lucas turned to the mysterious figure but it had already disappeared. He sighed and took out his phone and showed Anton the picture he had taken earlier. "This guy. Friend of yours? He was watching you three while you dealt with the Cs."

Looking across the street, he saw that Hisashi didn't look so good and had curled up. Deciding not to delve into it now, Lucas turned back to Anton and awaited the man's response.
