The Kohr Reaper grabbed Liz by her outstretched hand and pulled her up to the plateau they were scaling. “You know, for this being our first outing together I must apologize. I don’t typically take a girl rock climbing in enemy territory with a villain she hates as a third wheel.” He likes to keep his distance from us, I would take it that powers are failing at a substantial rate.“Well we are nearing higher ground I think we should be able to see something over this next wall. Here I’ll lift you up tell me what you can see.” Reaper put his arms out to lift Liz. "I would hope not," Liz said as they climbed the rock face. It seemed that her powers were still enough that she could cut into the rock to make hand holds and foot holds for them. "I can't see that as being a good way to keep a steady girlfriend." "You that trick doesn't work if the chick is wearing pants right?" Liz said with a laugh at Reaper's suggestion to prop her up. Accepted his help though and put her foot in his cupped hands, using his push to jump up to nearly the top of the cliff face. She grabbed on to the edge and lifted her self up enough to put her chin over the edge. "Damn, that's....a really big, really old city," she said after a moment. "Whoever lives here probably lives there."

liz_bliz_inc Nova Blancke liz_bliz_inc Nova Blancke liz_bliz_inc Titan's suit blinked back on with the sound of something massive powering up. With a crunch of gravel he made a few steps forward to make sure his movement was alright and the said, "Listen, I need to go back to my home base to make repairs and restock on ammo. It shouldn't take long, we have things set up to run me through as fast as possible. "Still, I don't like the idea of leaving you two alone and exposed out here. I can manage to take you with me if you are up to it, and you can talk to Tinker with my, since you seem to have know this scarf thing before it was what it is. She will have info for us by now." James directed the last of his words at Danny. "Well..that depends on how far it is. I mean" Gabe paused a bit and floated up a meter." I can fly myself but...I don't know how fast you will be going. It's not like I am made for flying" Gabe replied. "Well I could always carry you," James said to Gabe with a chuckle. "It's not to far away but it is about as high up as the mountain is right now. Tinker is monitoring thing as well as she can." James bent down and grabbed the items that Stifle had left behind and tapped a small disk devices on his waist. The disk's two layer turned in opposite directions as it expended and the center layer popped open. He stuffed the items int he small device and strangely the went in fine as if there was plenty of space within the disk. With another tap the device closed again. "I'll see if Tinker can't make any sense of those items," James said as he accepted the paper from Danny. "Actually...I'm not sure. I mean..my boss wanted me to go up there" Gabe said as he pointed at the giant mountain behind him. " I think I should call her soon to explain why I'm not up there. I just hope she doesn't turn my car into lead" he said with a sigh "Now why would your boss need to know what was going on up there?" Jason said, curious. "Are you part of some vigilantly group as well?" Gabe immediately raised his arms then grabbed his shoulder due to the pain."Ahhh...I forgot that wound...but no...My boss is...well..she is curious about it and wanted to know if there was anything valuable up there. That's all" Gabe explained.

liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze A window on the third story of a building near the center of town shattered as two bodies crashed through it. The first hit the ground with a thud as the second landed on top with the grace of a cat. Broken glass tinkled all around them as the black suited man stood and looked down at the man he had landed on. The man, barely conscious from the fall, moaned unintelligibly. The black suited man pulled out a pistol and pointed it at his chest. "I told you that wasn't the way to do it." he said from behind his black and white steel mask, "Alister Kroc, for the crimes of rape and murder Justice decrees you guilty." With that he pulled the trigger and left a round in his chest perfectly aimed to cause death. The single gun shot was not noticed due to the rampant crime and looting going on around him. He holster his weapon and breathed heavy. "Capital City, what happened while I was away?" "Making a show out it?" Orion said as he and Scope approached Libra, seeming to slip out of the shadows as they exited the nearest crack between buildings. "I think you my be over doing it with the whole jumping out the window thing," Scope said, backing up her partner's dry humor. There was a pause and then she turned slightly and let of a controlled 3 bullet burst from her compact auto, aimed across the street. It took out the knee of a man using a slim jim break into a car. "So, looks like there are still a few locals around to help out with this mess," Orion said as they stopped within a few meters of Libra. "How did it happen that you weren't up at the mountain with the rest of local capes?" Orion paused for a second and then finished, "You can call me Orion, and my partner goes by Scope." "Just got me myself." Libra replied, "Not really a local in the normal sense of the word. Grew up here, but been out of town for a few years. Do you have any idea what's going on? What's with that mountain?"

Dragon Sneeze Vmak Dragon Sneeze Vmak Dragon Sneeze The Kohr "Laura... she may not be the nicest person, but now is not the time for or petty differences. We need to work together, we need help." Leon softly grabbed Laura by her shoulders slightly shaking her. I don't need this right now come on wipe that look off your face Laura... I don't need additional drama."Tessa's room is on the next floor. Room 2008." David interjected. "I'll take you there." "I'm going too!" Angela replied. “Yeah alright kid… lead away I’m right behind you!” Laura responded to David then turned to Angela. Poor little kid, wonder how she got so hurt? “Um, do you want me to carry you? I’ll even go piggy back if you like.” Laura smiled trying her best to be sensitive to Angela, yet her tone was clearly rushed. Angela looked up at Laura as if to size her up and after a few moments decided she was ok. David led the group down the hall to the stairwell and up to the next floor and down to a room. He pounded on the door twice before Tessa answered, dressed in a bathing suit. "What?" She took in the stares and felt the need t explain herself. "I had to change to a outfit that produced the smallest amount of static electricity." Laura looked over Tessa dress in the bathing suit being just a bit distracted. “That’s understandable girl, but we can ourselves a problem. David’s sister Ester was kidnapped…. We don’t know whom, or why someone would do such a thing. We need your help in finding her. We need any help we can get at the moment.” Laura stared at Tessa hoping she will join in on the search. Tessa stared at Laura for a moment and then her mind jumped into gear. "First thing, grab my cell and call Danny for me. I'll short it out if I try. Tell him to get over here right now. I have a feeling who did this but I need to check the scene for clues." Laura raced to Tessa’s phone and flipped it open, “Wow, I’ve ever seen this model where the hell are your contacts…. never mind I got it,” Laugh let out a sigh as she thought of how to break the news to Danny…. “Pick up Pick up…” Danny never gave me his number; I’m totally keeping it after this… I wonder if I can get Leon’s too…. Mmm they are both so dreamy!

liz_bliz_inc Vmak liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze Melody nodded. "Yeah, and a personality ta match. I'm glad to be away from him. So you have a power too?" She asked motioning to the unconscious man on the ground. "Yeah, I can control most things that come from he earth and plants." Zack looked at the ground as he said, "Blake can bee incredibly dangerous, you're lucky you're alive. If you had done what he wanted he likely would have killed you afterward, and probably not in a pleasant way." "What about you? What was the power Blake wanted from you?" "I can...cut things. With my hands. Anything." Melody replied. To illustrate her point she chopped the tree with her hand and it cleaved neatly in twine. Zack's eyebrow raised as he said, "Funny, I know another girl who can do exactly the same thing. Though she projects and aura to do so. I've worked with her for some time now." Zack looked around and saw Dave the ground and walked over to him, kneeling and checking for a pulse. He found one and shook him by his shoulder saying, "Hey, wake up. We need to go." Dave swatted at Zack’s hand, he was not unconscious he was barely even asleep. He was just lying upon the ground with his eyes closed. I shouldn’t have gone with Jude this time, I knew that nothin’ good was gonna happen. “I… don’t… wanna get up m…moma, just an hour more…snooze” Dave rambled for no reason. He peaked from one of his eyes visibly noticeable to Zack. He quickly shut it tightly. “I am not awake….you are dreaming.” He whispered to Zack. "Very funny," Zack said, "but unless you want to live on a giant floating rock for the rest of your life I think you might want to come with us. We don't have a lot of time to waste most likely." “I suppose you have a point there sir,” Dave opened his eyes and sat up. He put out his hand to shake with Zack, “Names DJ I’m a local bartender in the valley. I kind of got caught up in this whole mess on accident. You know, you never know who to trust sort of deal.” Dave chuckled in an awkward way while he picked himself up. Dusting himself off he decided to keep talking after all he didn’t have much else to do, “So you one of those big time superheroes you see on the news?”

liz_bliz_inc Vmak The Kohr Vmak The Kohr “I’m done with this. We move out now.” Sovereign fanned his cape as he walked off on his own. “I don’t need this kind of stuff slowing me down.” He paused and sighed “You’re welcomed to join me.” “Yeah I’ll join ya sorry a**, so long as you keep this new b***h on her leash.” Jude laughed bitting down on his cigar. “Will you just shut the hell up and get on the move?” Sovereign responded the grief of teaming up with Coldsnap hung over him like a dark cloud. “Fine by me Captain!” Jude saluted. He began to march right behind Sovereign. “Any direction in particular Sir or are we just taking the General’s b***h for a walk?” Tara said nothing to Jude, nor looked in his direction but the end of his cigar exploded in a cloud of tobacco that was blown away in the wind, leaving about half of the thing remaining. She did speak to Sovereign though, saying, "So, do you have a general idea where we should head or do we need to do some sort of scouting?" Jude pulled the cigar from his mouth and looked at it with a dumb look on his face. He chucked it and mumbled to himself. I need to quit anyways she's doing me a favor. I think I kinda like this tough b***h. he suddenly busted into laughter seemingly over noting.

Sovereign stared at Jude for a moment then shook his head. “No Idea as of yet. It’s better that we are on the move I have a very bad feeling about this whole ordeal.” Sovereign replied as he started to climb upon some jagged boulders to get a better vantage point. “ For right now we need to do some serious recon. If we want to make it back to the others and to get off this damn rock we’ll have to be quick about it, who knows what this place will drain from us after our powers are completely gone.”

Dragon Sneeze The Kohr Leon rushed down several flights of stairs and leaped several more. Though he moved wildly he had an unnatural grace to his executions. He swiftly made his way back to Purgatory. “Oz?! Oz, man I need to know some things. Like who would kill a lobby full of people for ester, does anyone know she is linked to Reaper or Heatsroke or did they just choose a random target.” His mind raced as he tried to piece together this puzzle before any of his fears were realized. “Do the Delenos have any enemies?” Oz floated down from the ceiling and peered into Leon's face. "Enemies? Hmm... None that I know of, they keep their past extremely tight lipped. But I do know one thing I've over heard, a man named Crispin Locke, who went by the name Constellation. Victor filed the address in that cabinet there. I believe he may have all the answers." Leon nodded as he rifled through the cabinet looking for his answer that he desperately sought for. Despite the outside appearance of his hideout Reaper seems to be very organized… This is remarkable he’s organized some of these by meeting, times fought, emotional connection, year, and alphabetical. He’s either meticulous in his work or he has a bit of O.C.D.“Got it!” Leon shouted as he flipped open the cover of a large black book. The Big Book of People Vol. I:, Reaper’s little black book I assume, he may very well have a few eccentricities. Lets see Crispin Locke…Crispin…“There’s no Crispin Locke in the C’s it ends on Cryptic with a few floating hearts around the word information Nexus…. It’s confusing….but if she’s a street side informant do you think she could help us find him?” He doesn’t have him in here under Constellation either, it be helpful if he hand some kind of key to his madness. Maybe he’d be in a different edition?

We have to sneak into the city and see if we can’t figure out what the hell is going on around here. Once in we should hold tight for back up.” Reaper laughed as he thought about the odds they faced. He looked up at Liz holding herself up on the cliff side. You may not be wearing a skirt but that doesn’t make the view any less enticing…. No focus focus…. We need to stay sharp Damnit. Scenario… Ancient city, steady loss of allies’ powers, and an unknown enemy; as well as several known enemies in your same position. Solution…….. ******** this is gonna suck balls.“So when we’re waiting for back up in their maybe I could interest you in some of my many other tricks?” He glanced back up at her, his eyes telling of a big grin behind his mask.

Rioters and thugs were dropping like flies in the streets as rocks where hurled from higher ground as well as batons being swung from the streets. Both Soul and Justice were deep in their zone; this was their element that they lived in. They thirst for the moments that they can do go against the common lawbreaker. They moved together swiftly and almost in perfect sync to one another as if they had been a team for years. Until Justice began to spot a difference in the surroundings.
“Soul! Wait… Notice anything different with this street than the last ones?” He quickly questioned his temporary partner.
“Yeah, this one you’re making me talk to you in… Wait I see it.” Soul juggled around a few stones in his right hand tossing them up and catching them repeatedly as he scoped the scene.
“Yeah, further down these thugs, gangbangers, and looters… they’ve been shot… and not in any random place. Someone’s been taking them out with great precision. We might have from the looks of it two more individuals out here doing a bit more than necessary to put these guys down.” Justice looked around in a circle for clues of which way his suspicions would take him.
“Justice… What you have his is one close range fighter and a second one who specializes in ranged combat. Check out the entry wounds on some of these guys. Who ever they are, they’re using high-powered weaponry. We need to be careful it’s not like we’re dressed like Superman or the Green Lantern we don’t exactly look friendly. I don’t wanna get shot to day man.” Soul’s voice was full of experience and somehow got through to Justice with ease. Justice nodded as he pointed down an alley way towards where he suspected his new targets had went. Soul took his cue and climbed the nearest fire escape to follow him from the sky.

Right where Crispin Locke should have been." He put his hand on his chin and thought. "Very peculiar. Victor certainly wouldn't do that to his own files, so someone else with access to them must have." He tapped the open page of the book. "As for now this seems like a promising lead this Cryptic. Perhaps you should give it a look."

Dragon Sneeze liz_bliz_inc Dragon Sneeze A window on the third story of a building near the center of town shattered as two bodies crashed through it. The first hit the ground with a thud as the second landed on top with the grace of a cat. Broken glass tinkled all around them as the black suited man stood and looked down at the man he had landed on. The man, barely conscious from the fall, moaned unintelligibly. The black suited man pulled out a pistol and pointed it at his chest. "I told you that wasn't the way to do it." he said from behind his black and white steel mask, "Alister Kroc, for the crimes of rape and murder Justice decrees you guilty." With that he pulled the trigger and left a round in his chest perfectly aimed to cause death. The single gun shot was not noticed due to the rampant crime and looting going on around him. He holster his weapon and breathed heavy. "Capital City, what happened while I was away?" "Making a show out it?" Orion said as he and Scope approached Libra, seeming to slip out of the shadows as they exited the nearest crack between buildings. "I think you my be over doing it with the whole jumping out the window thing," Scope said, backing up her partner's dry humor. There was a pause and then she turned slightly and let of a controlled 3 bullet burst from her compact auto, aimed across the street. It took out the knee of a man using a slim jim break into a car. "So, looks like there are still a few locals around to help out with this mess," Orion said as they stopped within a few meters of Libra. "How did it happen that you weren't up at the mountain with the rest of local capes?" Orion paused for a second and then finished, "You can call me Orion, and my partner goes by Scope." "Just got me myself." Libra replied, "Not really a local in the normal sense of the word. Grew up here, but been out of town for a few years. Do you have any idea what's going on? What's with that mountain?" [[ah, come on now Kohr, their not killing anyone, just disabling]] "The mountain has been here for awhile according to what we've been told, but our groups still has no idea why it's here or what it really is." Just then Scope and Orion put their hands to their ear and then turned their head back the way they came. Orion said, "Looks like we're going to have more company soon. Our com officer just told us we have two incoming capes. One of them has been identified as a long standing cape that goes by 'Soul', the other she is still working on but he has a skull on his mask." Scope looked at Libra and asked, "Ring any bells?" "Scope, make sure you don't train any shots on them, until we make contact I want you confirming any targets with Tinker before you disable them," Orion said calmly. It was becoming clear that this was not their first rodeo.

[[ah, come on now Kohr, their not killing anyone, just disabling]] "The mountain has been here for awhile according to what we've been told, but our groups still has no idea why it's here or what it really is." Just then Scope and Orion put their hands to their ear and then turned their head back the way they came. Orion said, "Looks like we're going to have more company soon. Our com officer just told us we have two incoming capes. One of them has been identified as a long standing cape that goes by 'Soul', the other she is still working on but he has a skull on his mask." Scope looked at Libra and asked, "Ring any bells?" "Scope, make sure you don't train any shots on them, until we make contact I want you confirming any targets with Tinker before you disable them," Orion said calmly. It was becoming clear that this was not their first rodeo. "Stand down." Libra replied, "I don't know who Justice is, but Soul is one of the good guys." He holstered his gun and strode to the end of the alley signaling Soul to enter.
