[SOLO GAME] Recks Ruthor's Great Escape!

[Andraia]

She crossed the street as quickly (and safely) as she could and followed her opponent down the wide cement steps. When Dani emerged in the cave-like station there were two trains boarding passengers; one going north and one going south. Recks was not on the platform, so he must have boarded one of the trains already! But which one? She tried to spy him through one of the windows, but she couldn’t see him, and the trains would be leaving any second!

Going for broke she dashed into the nearest door of the north-bound train and started running down the length of it, compartment to compartment. It only took her a few seconds to reach the opposite end, but when she did the music signalling the doors would be closing chimed. Recks wasn’t on this train! Danica dove for the doorway and tumbled onto the station floor. The other train was about to leave as well, and he had to be on that one. She made a mad-dash for the opposite side of the station and made it through just as the doors closed with a vacuum like whup.
 

[Andraia]

The doors sealed closed behind Danica, and there was no way for Recks to get off the train before it stopped at the next station. That meant that she had a good couple of minutes to make it from one end to the other and try and collar him. She took the trip slowly and carefully, sending a sidelong glace under every broad-brimmed hat and pulled-up hood. Recks was clever… or at the very least, resourceful. She had to cover all of her bases, or she would loose him.

She had made it through two of the five compartments without incident. As she passed through the third one, however, all hell broke loose. As she was walking through the door she caught sight of the criminal’s shiny cranium, darting through the opposite exit. In his haste to avoid her he bumped into a woman who swallowed her gum by surprise. She was choking! Recks Ruthor would have to wait; a civilian’s life always came first. (At least that was what her teacher had said.) The people around the woman seemed frozen in surprise, but Dani acted. The fledgling superhero ran up to the choking woman and wrapped her arms around her stomach. For the first time Dani was thankful that she had opted to take that first aid class last semester.

The life-threatening wad of gum was safely ejected from the woman’s throat after a few carefully applied upwards thrusts above her naval. Danica waited a moment for the civilian to begin to get her wits about her. “Are you going to be okay ma’am?” The woman seemed a little dazed, but she nodded. “Good. Now I must be off!” And with that, took off again after Recks. She did not see him in the next compartment, and she could see the next station looming ahead of them through the windows. She needed to get to that last compartment before they arrived!
 

[Andraia]

The train was only moments away from pulling into the station when Dani barrelled into the last car. Where could he be? She looked frantically around the car. There! Pushing his way too the doors farthest from where she was standing was Recks. “Its no use Ruthor! I’ve got you!”

One of the first things they taught the rookies in Heroic Theory 101 was that one of the main failings of villains was their tendency to count their chickens before they hatched. They tied the hero to the end of some elaborate death machine and leave him to his fate while they walk away, cackling, to attend to their doomsday devices. It was this overconfidence, and world-bending laws of drama, that insured the hero’s inevitable escape and triumph. Any good teacher also warns their students that this is not a one way street.

Sure enough as soon as Danica reached Recks – her hand was reaching out to wrap around the starched collar of his shirt – there was a defining crack as the heel snapped off her book. Wha-? Was all that she had time to think before the train floor came rushing up to meet her. She brought her hands up in front of her face and managed to catch herself, but it was too little too late! Before she could get back to her feet there was a chime as the voice over the loud speaker announced their arrival at the next station and the doors opened.


(( ALMOST FORGOT TO MAKE THIS POST OnO ! Got it in with only 15 minutes to spare. Success! ))
 

[Andraia]

Time seemed to slow as she watched the doors open from her position on the floor. Hell, no.

Moving faster than she had ever known herself to do, Danica pushed her weight onto her feet and sprang forward. The bald evil-genius was already on the platform but she was only milliseconds behind him. She would be the laughingstock of the school if she went back and had to report that she failed to catch Recks Ruthor. The man was practically a butterfly in comparison to some of the guys they would be expected to capture in the future. If they didn’t think she could handle him they would never give her any kind of credit! With a renewed enthusiasm, Danica closed the distance between them.

The civilians on the station stepped aside to make way for the stampeding duo. Recks had the advantage in size, but nothing was stronger than a teenager fighting to protect their reputation. Dani jumped across the few feet remaining between them and tackled Recks to the ground. There was a brief struggle as they rolled, but the follicly challenged super villain had not been expecting the move and was quickly subdued by his half-sized pursuer. The redheaded rookie took out a couple of zapstraps (never leave home without ‘em) and secured the man’s hands behind his back. “You know what Ruthor? I really liked those boots.”

(( CAUGHT. Finally. ))

As she began to walk her collar out of the station a blond woman in a leather jacket popped up in front of them with a camera. Danica barely had time to bring her hand up in from of her face before the flash went off. Her sunglasses had managed to stay on throughout the chase, but they really only did over so much. Danica tried to obscure her face as best as possible, while she moved the man forward past the blond, but the civilian did not appear to get the hint. “Hey, good job there kid.” She said, a megawatt smile spread across her pretty features. “I’ve been following you two since Friday’s. This is going to make for a very interesting piece in tomorrow’s paper.”

Oh great! A reporter! Her teachers were going to have her head. Before she could do or say anything in response, however, the blond woman took out a small piece of white paper and slipped it into the pocket of Recks’ shirt. “My name is Daphne. Daphne Ray. That’s my card; if you ever need anything, or feel like sharing a tip. And,” she waved the camera a bit to draw attention to it, “don’t worry, you aren’t in the shot. See you around Red, thanks for the story.”

Mimic had dashed away from the growing crowd at the water fountain where she previously rescued the 'drowning man', in favor of giving chase to the slippery Reck. That wasn't very nice of him she thought, though she didn't expect him to just stand still either, it was to her knowledge that jail was not a place one wanted to be. But apparently this man deserved to be there for being annoying? The little alien wasn't quiet to sure on the facts but the nice people at the academy had reassured her and asked for her aid so she would give it ...right after a snack.

The purple child made her way in a lazy strut over to the food vendor. Her tummy growling as she smelled the delicious smell of something sour from the metal contraption the man was standing near. "Excuse me...may I- " Her words were cut off as a shine caught her eye, Reck! "Nnn.." Came the none to pleased whine to seeing the man, she wanted to help but food? But..she should. Sighing she smiled and waved the vendor, confused, vendor off and sat after the bald man. Making a mental note to come back for the food, and walking slowly mostly due to her nature but also trying to sneak on said bald man.  

[Cheekiebirdiee]

Mimic had been creeping after Recks, she was so close. So very close, she could smell his cheap cologne no doubt he drowned himself in it to be a double annoyance! The little alien's eye caught on a barber shops spinning candy stripped sign. Attention shifting to that however her legs were still moving. Recks had turned just as she had gotten distracted and grinned, dropping the banana he as eating behind him with an evil crackle.

" ! ! Whaaa~~ " Came the shocked cry as Mimic's heeled boots meet banana peel, causing her to slip forward towards the concrete sidewalk, her life flashing before her eyes as she went down hard with a thump and a wince, lungs gasping for the air that was knocked clean out of her. "HAVE A NICE TRIP HERO SEE YOU NEXT FALL! " Shouted Recks, however little did he know that his oh so snazzy taunt was wasted on the likes of the little alien as she didn't get it at all. "Ouch"...Was the only reply she gave while lazily rolling onto her back then sitting up, picking the peel off the ground in front of her feet and examining it before looking off into the direction Recks had ran.

Well..that was most unpleasant. The alien heard some giggling from nearby children that had witnessed the event, blinking a few times before she herself started to giggle, luckily her purple color hid a blush rather well, or it would have if not for the fact that when blushing her cheeks tint the color of her hair, a bright green. Getting up she dust herself off and tosses the peel giving a pacewalk after Recks now, a little more annoyed with the man. Determined to eventually get him and whatever was in that food box....  

[Cheekiebirdiee]

On the hunt again, the little alien pace walked around the area, her hand clenching a pretzel she had acquired moments ago while in search of the slippery Recks. Mimic's bottom was still a little sore from the previous fall, which caused the purple skinned girl to walk a little awkward as she went. The temper that had built mere moment's ago however already quelled with the addition of food. Eating the pretzel, beady black orbs flickered over the crowd. Watching like a hawk, chewing slowly.

Mimic leaned lazily back against the wall of a nearby building, relaxing and clearing her head while she waited to spot any kind of sign of Recks. "Hmm.." Where on earth could that man have gotten to now.. ?  

[Cheekiebirdiee]

Finishing off her snack, Violet was just about to call it quits when she heard the distant sound of someone crying out for help. Snapping her head in the direction of the call she noticed a thick cloud of black forming overhead. The smell of burning carpet among other things filling her nostrils as she stared in awe for a few moments before springing into action.

Moving faster than she probably ever had in her whole life, Violet rushed to the house, staring up at the woman on the second floor. How could she help? Beady blacks roamed here and there before she caught sight of the garage of the home, a ladder leaned against it. "....One moment.." Violet said to the hysterical woman, rushing off to grab it and sit it against the house. "Climb down..please" She spoke up to her though the woman was merely ignoring her and screaming her head off. Violet blinked, thinking for a moment before he ghost arms became visible, extending out and taking control of the panicked woman's arms.

Violet bit her own lip then made a smacking motion towards her own face, the ghost arms mimicking her movements and causing the woman to slap herself roughly. The slap did well in getting the woman's attention. "Ready ..? " Violet asked innocently, the woman nodded speechless, Violets hands then started making the movement's as well like she was reaching out for the ladder aiding the woman till she was on the ground. Once she made sure the woman was safe, Violet started back off in search of Recks, ever persistent...  

[melona-pan]

She was mad. Furious, even. Anemone didn't often get angry, it just wasn't in her nature. However, having Recks constantly slip away in the pettiest of ways was really starting to grind on her. There was no excuse for her failure; something this simple shouldn't take so much effort! Biting on her lower lip, Anemone wined through the alleyways she had seen Recks slip into.

Peering around a corner, she was surprised to see Recks struggling with a locked door as the alley had ended abruptly into a loading bay. A pang of excitement ran through Anemone's chest as she burst out from her spot, throwing her hands out in front of her as she squinted at her target. They were out of sight, and she really had no qualms using her powers after all the difficulty he had put her through. The lack of curious eyes just made Ane that much more confident. Thrusting her arms up above her head, Recks lurched into the air, shrieking as he was caught by surprise.

"Your little joyride is up!" Anemone chirped, pointing a finger triumphantly at the upturned villain. Grinning to herself, she paged back to the Academy that her mission was a success, and promptly helped return him to his cell.


CAUGHT  

[Cheekiebirdiee]

Violet was back on Recks' trail, dodging or well swiftly walking past each annoyed citizen the man left in his wake. The thistle colored rookie paused, peering around the area and leaning against one of the street poles. This ...criminal he was so slippery, so obnoxious...she had to wonder if all of the 'villains' were as ridiculous as Recks. Violet pushed her thoughts into the furthest part of her mind at the glimer of a bald head.

"Recks!" She called out, picking up her speed walk into an actual sprint after the bald annoyance, much to her surprise the man stopped, turned and as he did he plucked up some flowers from a street venders cart kneeling as Violet appraoched him with a waggle of the only hair probably on his body, his eye brows at the little rookie.

".....? " Mimic tilted her head, a look of pure confusion setting in as her feet all by stopped moving, beady eyes staring at the man as he held the flowers out to her and started to sing, loud and purposely off key, professing his love and drawing a crowd.

"...L-lo-lo-ve?! ? " Mimic's brain all but spazzed out on her, Recks taking the opportunity jumping up and with a maniacal burst of laughter fled the scene. Mimic twitched in place, not sure if she should be disgusted, flattered or just plan creeped out  

[Cheekiebirdiee]

After figuring out she was in fact disgusted Violet clutched her fist and started after the bald man. Her nerves a little shaken still as she picked up the pace and started after the man, determination filling her tiny little body to the brim. She would bring Recks to justice! Speaking of Recks, Mimic's beady little eye caught him in the corner and she was off after him in a flash of purple. This time he was not going to escape her, he was not! Mimic was actually running at full speed towards the man, faster than she ever had in her life, managing to dodge around all the civilians in her path as she advanced on the snickering bald criminal.

(( CAUGHT OMG ))

Recks was busy leaning over to take some candy from a baby when Violet closed in on him enough to use her ghost hands, extending them out she captured Recks hands with her own, using them to slap the lollipop right into the mans eye. Ruthor stumbled back spouting a lot of nonsense as he went, thumping into a nearby street pole and falling down to the sidewalk. Violet put her arms behind her head and made a grabbing motion, which caused Recks to do the same in turn attaching himself to the pole with his arms. "Someone ...will you please call the ..jail..for me...?" The rookie asked on a panted yawn, glancing to a nearby person whom nodded before pulling their cell out and calling the authorities.

Her arms were very tired by the time they arrived, letting go with her ghost arms once the police men had Recks cuffed. Pulling her arms back and after not in use anymore they became transparent now, floating behind her. After a quick few thank yous and a few muttered clearly awkward words to the police Mimic was off and headed back to school. Hoping to never have to see Recks again, as she....wasn't to fond of him in the least.

So after Tabby couldn't catch that fez cat, and after the mother bird returned to its babies, Tabby returned back to Sidekick Academy, only to receive a call from her YM. So with bated breath, she went into the city to go try to catch a public nuisance...

She found him in front of Bakery Boutique, holding an ice cream cone high above a little boy, who was reaching up for it. "Give it back!" the little boy screamed.
The kid's pubsecent voice cracked as snot dribbled from his nostrils. And Ruthor had this smug look on his face.

"Okay," he said, handing the ice cream cone to the kid. The kid snatched it from Recks and afterwards arched his eyebrow at Recks, who still had a smug look.

"I licked it," Recks said.

"NO YOU DIDN'T!"

"Yes I did."

...



The little kid was crying and stamping his feet. "... NO, YOU DIDN'T...!"

Recks mid-cackled, "HAHAHAHAHA--" when Tabby left to go buy a new ice cream. When she returned, he was still cackling. She put an end to it by sharply tugging him towards her. Bewildered and confused, he uttered "huh?" before looking up. Standing a few foot before him, Tabby pointed a finger straight at him, with an ice cream in her other hand. "RECKS RUTHOR... STOP PICKING ON PEOPLE!"

Immediately, he ran in the other direction. He gained a good headstart as Tabby went after him, but stopped to give the boy the ice cream she bought for him. "Here; you can have mine," she said with a gentler facial expression...

Then, she went after Recks.... and chased him for a long while... good thing Tabby was fit and in shape from all that training. She gained after him and came pretty close... I wonder why I have to run after him when I can just use my powers to catch him... she thought. She started paying attention again to the chase, and he was gone?? Aw man; where did he go?!  

[Yulo-chan]

Well, it looks like Recks gave Tabby the slip... maybe he turned an alleyway or he got lost in the crowd... Tabby looked at the gigantic crowd and then she looked into the alleyway.

"Aw man!" she exclaimed with furrowed eyebrows. "Now I have to find him again."

She then went back to square one to look for him....  

[Yulo-chan]

Tabby went searching in the crowds for Reck Ruthor and...



He appeared to be resting his foot on top of an over-turned garbage basket ...
TABBY used GROWL. "You're littering too, now?!" Tabby shouted.
Recks who noticed her, gave her a big smirk, his head shining gleefully.
TABBY'S ATTACK WAS INEFFECTIVE.
Wild RECKS used SMOKE BOMB.
A lot of smoke shrouded the entire area around Recks and thick gas forced Tabby's eyes shut...
IT WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE. Wild RECKS escaped!

((I just made him like a wild ABRA, the kind that's always using teleport to run away,
and Tabby is level 8 b/c everyone starts off at level 5 & she has 3 points lol /brick'd))
