nothing worked in the stadiun, no powers at all... no healing, no fire, no wind.. I could not even feel the earth around me once I went in there, I am not what I was before Sam came, but I still have most of my abilities... I worry that the people will not be willing to understand that what happened had nothing to do with anyone who was noit in there from the start*she sat beside him stailing her fingers in the fountain*

John sighed, suckig the rest of the ice from the pole before sitting back, his hands by his sides to support him, the little wooden stick that the lolly had been on waggling at he spoke.
"One person wont be enough, Rave. And even then, you're account is...patchy, at best. I need something clearer...someone who can explain it to me in...well, idiot's terms, i suppose."
He sighed, lifting a hand to scratch his cheek. He wasn't the brightest bulb in the store.

John groaned inwardly. Enki. He'd never really liked him, and John he. Especially since John had pretty much renounced the GSF...but, then again, this was also a part of what they had done...or could have done, he figured...
"Hmph...thats a resource i'll tap last, i think..." He muttered, chewing absently on his wooden popsticle. "Although i think he's a bit too powerful to be taken out by such an explosion...even one as powerful as that..."
Standing up with Raven, smirking as she scored a point with the juice-box, he stood back with his arms crossed, looking down to Raven. "Rave, are you inviting me over to your place? Coz you do know that i'll have to take Meryl and Amber along too...even if Munin does wanna talk to me...it's been a while since we've done something that normal families do...like go see other people and crap."

"Thats a good idea. Well, you take care now..."
Taking a step back from the woman, waiting till her fan was covering the bottom part of her face, John spat his popsicle to the ground as he bent down low, his legs coiling beneath him as if he was preparing to spring -
- Before he was suddenly launched into the air, leaping through the sky in a single bound, a black dot in the blue sky blinking out of existance.
Meta-humans...

The girl looked up with a bit of fear and trepidation, more then a little uncertain about her welcome. She did however grin in response to his own grin. Seeming to listen she began to babble when his voice ended in an inquiry, the words completely uncomphrensisable "I on'td nderstandu." She slowly pulled her body up, not even bothering to brush the dirt off as she looked definantly at Silver, her back stiff, her hands behind her back, only fidgeting slightly. Around her hip was a belt with several small pouches, one with a flap open where the scent of Jasmine and poppy was beginning to leak again, though in much weaker doses then before.
It would become more obvious, even to a dull pebble like Silver that the language issue was what forced her to use a 'resell' shop instead of a reputable place. They wouldn't ask questions. Slowly, the girl began edging away from silver, her eyes darting back and forth as if trying to decide which way to run as soon as she could.

Lonnie and Donnie knew the had a good score. This much cash would set them up for a good few weeks. The owner of the store which they had just burgled may be in less better shape then them - a knife in the gut would do that to a man - but his old lady would see that an ambulance would come quickly.
The brothers had always needed to live on the rough side of life. After the gangs had fallen apart in Durem, the rest of Gaia was easy pickings. With the mobs trying to regain their weakened grip, there were too many establishments not paying their protection money like they should - which meant they were fat from relaxation.
Moving quickly through the streets and the bustling crowd, Donnie with the gun and the knife stuffed behind his jacket, Lonnie with the bag of cash swinging heavily on his hip, they looked innocuous to most...untrained individuals.
As they walked the crowd seemed to part for them as they tried to look inconspicuous to make way for something big...
A sudden punch blew Donnie off his feet, the gloved hand twisting in his stomach as his breath and most of his lunch was heaved up through his mouth - before physics decided to catch up, the sheer force of the blow sending the man hurtling back into a fruits stand, oranges and watermelons flying in all directions as he smashed into the eatery, limp as a rag-doll.
His brother, Lonnie, watched in awe as his sibling flew away and turned, snarling, as he reached into his pocket to pull out a pair of knuckle dusters. Slipping the dusters onto his fingers with practised ease, he pulled his fist back and let fly -
Straight into the fist of the attacker. The iron knuckle-dusters, heavy and thick, bent inward as they connected with the meaty fist, crushing Lonnie's fingers into an awkward position and sealing the dusters onto his hand for life, the painful set of bling not doing any good for it's owner.
The black glasses of the attacker flashed as he picked up the screaming man by his shirt-front, hoisting him up off his feet to hang in the air as he looked around himself. His voice was loud, demanding attention. "This is what happens to theives in this town!!" He bellowed in a strange accent - before suddenly slamming his fist into the screaming man's stomach, the pain too much for him as he finally fell silent.
His blond hair flowing gently in the breeze, he lowered the man, looking up as a police car and an ambulance finally arrived not a few blocks down.
When the police finally arrived, they'd find the bag of money hidden underneath the bodies of two criminals who had gotten the s**t kicked out of them, a very jubiliant fruit-store owner holding a bag of money which would pay for the damages to his store and the rennovations to come, and many witnesses claming to have seen a large, tall blond man, dressed in black, leaping up into the sky...

Well here he was, at the edge of the town of Latent. With a single quick word of command, Beldaeyn made his armour revert from its leather armour disguise back to its original plate form before he proceeded to step into the town. "Yutsu."
He could care less whether people ran away from the sight of an armoured and armed drow warrior moving down the street or if people ignored his presence as if he was any other person. He tilted his head to the left and then to the right, letting his neck crack as he clenched his right fist, listening to the sound of his knuckles cracking as well.
With the arena now gone, where else was he going to find fighters to test his skill against? But here, in such a town, it was possibly the most likely place anyone would go who was associated with the arena. With that in mind, as he walked down the street, he seemed to look at everyone as if sizing them up, completely unhindered by the light of day unlike many other drow.

Several days had passed since things at the staduim had calmed down, and Ryugi Kazamaru had recovered quite a bit indeed. Most of his injuries had healed beyond worry, however, his broken arm was still a little stiff and a bit sore. Vargus and Eclipse had stayed with him while he healed in the medical facilities and hadn't left his side.
The trio of individuals was now walking about the town since niether of them had ever been there before.

Well look at that, it was that dragonboy who couldnt even defeat an elf without resorting to using high amounts of effort, strutting down the road. And to think, such mighty creatures' very presence demanded respect and fear, here, this man was nothing of such a thing. What a shame. However, being an elf himself, he cared little for the diluted bloodlines of other races.
With a glance and a scoff, he turned his head to size some other passerby up as he moved down the road.

The crowds of milling people that swamped the streets of Latent began to whisper and gossip amongst themselves sometime towards midday. But it wasn't about the armored warrior riding through the streets on a great steed, nor was it concerning the recent string of thefts. What the whispering and sidelong, wary glances were all about was actually a very simple-looking young man; simple, yet undeniably noble. Very few people could see this young man though, because the crowds of people were parting like water before the prow of a ship before him, yet somehow still managed to mingle about afterwards in tightly packed groups to catch a glimpse...
... a glimpse of a member of the Spear.
This member of the Spear looked to be of the age of twenty or so, but in this day and age who the hell can tell; but unlike the majority of people his age who just let themselves go and gave in to their basic urges of sex and food, he looked to be in the utmost prime of his physical being. No excess amount of anything could be found on his body at first glance, fat pretty much nonexistant, which just made his tightly packed and honed muscles seem all the more sharp and defined. But his body was not overly muscular, rather it was slim and wirey, like that of a dancer; he obviously was built for speed and flexibility, and not brute strength. And the dangerous light in his dark, gimlet eyes hinted at a depth of power that couldn't be gauged.
But these people that stopped to look did not stay around for long, for the appearance of a member of the Spear in the view of the general public of Latent usually meant a battle was about to ensue. The way he casually strolled down the street as well, hands clasped lightly behind his back and dark hair swaying in front of darker eyes, was rather eerie for a person in his line of business; kind of like the executioner skipping to a hanging. Whether or not he noticed the people pointing and whispering at him, covering their mouths as if that was less suspicious, he did not reveal; he simply continued to casually stroll forward, his blue-and-white coat drawing more and more bystanders by the second.
Was this member of the Spear off to make war on the criminals, or did he have a different agenda? His blank, impassive mask revealed nothing. But one thing was for certain...
... he meant business.

Law enforcement officer. He had no business with the law, and as everyone was busy gethering around, whispering to each other and worrying in general, Beldaeyn simply looked into the crowd over everyone in it. Seeing nothing visibly worth spending his time on, he continued on his way, leaving behind the crowd as he moved deeper into the town.

Within the middle of the crowd was a man who didn't shy away, who didn't whisper and titter behind this man's back, who didn't gasp and gawk.
He eyed the man up and down, seeing what was evident - the man seemed to be a match. Wether he was totally human or not remained to be seen, but one thing was for certain - he certainly looked like he could hold his own.
...I have to see wether i can still take a man such as him. I dont think i've gotten too rusty... John thought to himself as he pushed his sunglasses further up his nose, covering his sky-blue eyes. Alright...lets see if this 'Spear' can live up to it's reputation...
He moved through the crowds slowly, excusing himself as he picked his way toward the man's path. As he drew closer - standing about four or five inches taller then most of the onlookers, and about five times wider then most - the people around him stared at him, as if he was mad. It was evident what he was about to do.
Finally moving through the crowd, he stood within it, lost for a moment within all the faces. Turning to face this Spear, he put his hands into the pockets of his dark pants, his head bowed slightly, his blond fringe falling gently over his face.
If the Spear kept on his path, he'd run right into Tomorrow - who would not budge. He'd see if the Spears were true war-mongers then.
