Reward : 300 Megards
xxxxxPlot [Part I] : Due to an anonymous tip, the Megalopis police force are seeking reinforcements from heroes, in order to buffer their resistance against a planned heist. It has come to their attention that villains are planning to steal the rare Sapphire Diamond from the Megalopis Art Gallery. The police have asked that the villains be brought into custody alive, but the use of deadly force is authorized. The reason that the villains covet this seemingly ordinary jewel?

 Jacob 'Flash Drive' Libra
"Brute Force may be able to Force the Door Open......" The air was cool. Much cooler than expect for this summer night. The Rain from the day left the pavement sparkley as the Beams of light from the nearby street light lit up the road, with the large steps before the even larger museum also visible. Sparks started to fly from the light nearest the musuem entrance, as Jacob took form, his hood up, and mask on. While he managed to walk calmly towards the entrance with no sign of problem, his eyes betrayed him, showing the tiredness he currently felt. Why couldn't they do it in the day? Jacob asked himself, walking to the top step before taking a seat on its hard, damp marble surface. While it would seem that jacob was in the open and vunrable, the reality of the situation was far from it. The moment he arrived, his used his power to hack into every security camera around the museum, and also some of the CCTV from around the area. With this done, all of this info was being fed into his mind, where it was translated to binary, much like every thought jacob thought was, and one of the few reasons he was most effect against those who would try to read his every thought. Once he recieved it, he would process the information, albiet slower than normal due to his tiredness, in about 3-5 seconds, before the process would repeat itselfs. As an added precaution, his backpack still contained his small, robotic spider, for emergancy combat situations. If something were to go wrong. He would know it.

 ▸ ▹ s σ ғ ι α ◂ ◃ ☞Your mind is not safe with this one ✎ As the sunny day turned into night, Sofia transformed into Fi. Gone were her formal day clothes. Now she wore dark black pants that hugged her perfectly. On top was a deep purple long-sleeved top that made her a shadow in the night. On her face she wore a black mask, which kept her true identity hidden from view. She was ready.
Fi left her apartment through the fire escape, quietly sliding down the ladders with ease. She's done this so many times it had become routine. Fi crept through the alleyways, slowly making her way towards the Megaloplis Museum. She'd heard of the potential raid tonight and she'd prepared herself accordingly. She didn't feel tired, which allowed her to be focused and at the ready. As the building came into view, she became aware of the thoughts of another person, sitting on the great stone steps of the Museum. Hack codes and technology sped through her mind, just as it was in the mind of the other person. Flash Drive. She thought. Fi walked towards him, staying within her comfort of the shadows.
"Quiet night so far?"

Rick stood at top a building adjacent to the Megalopis Art Gallery. Breathing in deeply, he took a quick look around, to survey the area. The police were out in front, Rick nodded casually taking in the information, and he began to devise a plan. The villains were looking at a small window of time; it was around three or four AM, and robbing a public facility during the day is foolhardy. An audible sigh escaped from between the Visionary's lips. "Where are those other slackers?" In order to fully complete his plan; Rick needed to complete his plan, which meant understanding the powers and abilities of the others. Secondly it couldn't hurt in case they decided to turn on him. Reaching inside of his lab coat, the Visionary grabbed a couple smoke grenades from his inner pocket, beginning to twirl them in his hand slowly. The villain began to tap his foot anxiously.
"Where is everyone...."

╚══════════════╝ "running the game
xxxxxwhat am I saying?"
What am I doing here. Kiyoki made it to the gallery sometime around 3:30 in the morning in a terrible mood. Having spent the whole day getting his tan on, giving himself the excuse that it was to charge up his internal battery for the night mission ( though being ashamed of his lack of color was also a big reason ), he had fallen asleep around noon and was now the darkest he had been in years. Though most people would find this to be great, Kiyoki could only think of it as a bad omen on his first villainous act; also a way for people that knew his public identity to identify him as one of the thieves. It also didn't help that his partners in crime had decided that they were going to rob the place while it was pitch black outside, forcing him him to walk the 10 blocks from his apartment to the museum instead of flying their on the energy board.
Power3000 peeked his head around the corner to find that neither Nightmare nor Visionary had made it yet, but instead two super sketchy looking people were chilling in front of the steps. At first he had assumed that they were just some teenagers smoking weed, when he noticed that they were a little dollied up to be playing a quick round of puff-and-pass on public property. He was about to turn back home to get some much needed sleep when he spotted a dark silhouette on the rooftop next to the museum, realizing simultaneously that the sketch-masters in front of the building were there to stop the villainous trio. Inspired by the sudden challenge, Smith made a sudden decision that there was no way Captain Sparky and Madame Purple Shirt were going to get in the way of him finally getting a grip on his abilities by accessing the power of the stone. With a new found desire to steal the sapphire, Kiyoki sprinted behind the building that the silhouette stood on top of, and quickly jetted to the roof in a burst of blue energy, leaving behind him a jet stream that would have made the aurora borealis jealous.

"So now that we're all here..." Professor Nightmare stepped out of a shadow near the back side of the rooftop, smirking as he looked over to the Museum. "Who are they?" He asked, glancing down at the two sitting on the steps. "They've been sitting there for a while now, just sitting. Not talking, not entering or exiting... Just waiting." He frowned, glancing to the others. "So are you two ready for this?" He chuckled. This diamond or sapphire or whatever it was, not only was it valuable, it would make him stronger. He had no problem selling it and splitting the cash, but he wondered if the actual diamond was split if the power augmentation would still work. He frowned further, stroking his chin as he pondered the question.

 Standing in the shadows of a tree outside the museum, Lady Limelight watched the scene unfold from afar to get a better idea of what she was up against. The first thing she noticed was two people heading up near the front of the museum, followed shortly by a strange dark figure atop the building and a sudden blue flash rushing off in a hurry to the top of the building as well. Chucking lightly to herself, she took off in a quiet jog towards the side of the museum. "Herp a derp," she said to herself, mocking the two heroes and the villains. The villains were at least better hidden than the two heroes she saw, but they were still out in the open. She made her way quickly to the side of the museum, looking to either side before crouching down and slinking slowly through the shadows towards the back of the museum. She stopped near the back of the museum, still in the shadows and turned around. Audrey jumped slightly, shocked to find the spirit of a little girl right behind her. She closed her eyes and clasped her hand to her chest, sighing quietly to calm her nerves down. Opening her eyes, she attempted to gather her confidence and focused on communication with the spirit. "Hi, my name is Audrey. Can you go up to the roof and listen to those people up there? Come tell me what they say," she told the girl, who stared eerily at her for quite a time before nodding and floating up towards the roof. After watching the spirit depart she let out another quiet sigh and relaxed a bit, leaning against the outer wall of the museum and looking side to side to watch for anything suspicious. Luckily she could hide in the shadows, but they were starting to get to her. The shadows... she felt like they played tricks on her, and keeping in the safety of the darkness for too long may result in the loss of her sanity; something she definitely could not do without on such a mission.

Suddenly a burst of blue energy turned into a human being, or something that resembled a human. "Try to make less of a spectacle... will you?" I can't believe I'm working with such a novice. Does covert mean nothing? Rick opened his mouth to speak, but another figure emerged from the shadows. This man was not a novice. Rick hadn't noticed him surveying the scene from the back corner of the roof.
The Visionary hadn't even noticed those two that Professor Nightmare mentioned; it was unusually unperceptive of him. "I couldn't say," Rick said, turning to look upon both Professor Nightmare and Kiyoki each in turn. "Names, powers and abilities." The Sapphire was being held on the third floor of the museum. With police outside and two unidentified figures, someone would need to offer a distraction, next someone would infiltrate from the roof, while the third person would infiltrate through the rear exit of the museum.

"There would have been no spectacle if you hadn't decided to hide on the ******** roof." Kiyoki was in now way in a mood to be messed with. Right now he was in the zone, and anyone who got in the way of him trying to reach his goal was asking to get power-punched in the face. "Holy Shi~" he howled, practically hyperventilating, as the third accomplice stepped out of the shadows. "Subtly is not my strong suit, as you can see." Apologizing was for punks in Smith's, especially when its for being yourself, besides, if the heroes didn't realize they were there by now, they really were on drugs. "Uh, Power3000. Energy blasts and constructs. . . " he finally answered Visionary's question, creating a mini tornado composed of different colored energy rays.
"Alright so heres my plan, you can take it or leave it..." Kiyoki went on to describe the next five minutes, in which he would take out the two people by the door while Mr. Labcoat, Visionary, acts as back up, and Zoot Suit, Nightmare, will slip in the back and steal it while they are taking care of the heroes, because Zoot is "sly like that" in Smith's words.

"Call me Professor Nightmare. As for powers and abilities..." In their heads, Visionary and Power3000 would hear a continuation of the sentence. "Telepathy, telekinesis, mental projection... Other assorted powers of the mind." He chuckled, listening to the plan. It wasn't half a bad idea, seeing as he could just cover himself up. It'd be easy, with the heroes fighting and being distracted. He grinned, glancing back down at the two that was now three, sitting around at the stairs. "Do they think they're being inconspicuous?" He wondered allowed, chuckling in spite of himself. "Anyway. There is a flaw in your plan. The museum no doubt has security cameras- my powers won't affect them. The guards watching the security tapes will notice me and no doubt inform the heroes... Unless I sneak into the security room first, and take care of our guard friends." He sighed, looking up at the starry night sky. A helicopter flew overhead, no doubt heading to some other emergency elsewhere in the city. "Wait. You said energy blasts?" He asked, looking to Power3000. "Okay. Minor alteration to your plan- before you engage the heroes, find the power box hooked up to the museum. Overload or destroy it. THEN you can fight them... Because then, they'll never know anything's going on inside."

The Visionary shook his head, "No, no. It's clear that the element of surprise out of the window. They're brought in extra police and superheroes, while the museum isn't open. It is more than obvious they know we are coming. Secondly it does us no good to be in the dark, which we will be if Power destroys the power box." A sneaky jerk of the head pointed toward the rooftop. "I'll be entering through there. Nightmare, you head through the back entrance. Power you'll be fighting those two out front; your abilities lend more towards direct combat than ours." Having explained his plan, Rick lobbed the two smoke grenades he had been brandishing. The whole area in front of the museum was covered by a cloud of smoke. Taking his cue, The Visionary would begin making his way to the rooftop of the museum.

((I hate to post again without giving anyone else a chance, but hold up just a damn second.))
"Who the hell put you in charge?" Professor Nightmare asked, frowning. "And it won't be in the dark- this place has backup generators that only power emergency lights. It's a city regulation for public buildings like schools, offices... Museums- otherwise the place would be condemned as a fire hazard." He muttered, shaking his head. "No, the power outage isn't for the element of surprise. The power would shut off the cameras. The cameras being out would give us open reign of the museum- once we grab the gem, we can have any number of alternate escape routes. And we won't be able to be tracked- if we can lose the heroes, we'll be in the clear." He wasn't about to let some moron leap into this job without thinking it through- the heroes had the easy job. Stop them. The villains had to think about this one carefully. Failure was way too easy, and the Prof. didn't do failure.

After a few minutes of waiting in the shadows, the small ghost girl drifted back down and stopped right in front of Lady Limelight. The two stared each other down for nearly a minute before the ghost girl reached out, placing her palm on Lady Limelight's forehead. A soft gasp of air escaped her lips as everything the spirit girl had seen flooded into Lady Limelight's mind. In the blink of an eye Lady Limelight knew everything that had gone on on the rooftop. She looked to the ghost girl and smiled, nodding. "Thank you so very much. You're a very kind girl," Lady Limelight spoke with a nod, standing up and rushing towrads the front of the museum, still in the shadows and as quietly as she could. The ghost girl stayed behind, watching as the woman rushed away from her before floating back up towards the roof. This was the first time that a spirit had not only helped Audrey but also gotten positive recognition from her. For that, the little spirit girl would become the lookout, spying on the crew of three villains for anything else important without Audrey even telling her to.
Lady Limelight walked casually out of the shadows, keeping to the wall of the museum to keep the villains from seeing her. She walked up and stood in a corner near the two heroes, keeping in the shadows. "Psst," she squeaked quietly, attempting to get their attention. "Three villains, on the roof; one with energy blasts, and the other two with unknown abilities as of right now. Their current plan is to cut power and the cameras, with the energy blaster coming out front to fight you two while one slips in through the roof and the other through the back. I suggest you leave me out here to take on the energy blaster, the stronger of you two going inside to stop the villain from the roof, and the other of you heading towards the back to take on the other. Those are the only ways they can get in, so even if they change--" At that moment gas bombs went off in front of them, a thick fog billowing out and engulfing them near immediately. Lady Limelight began to cough in the fog, rushing out of the shadows towards the two, getting on the other side of them and attempting to push them towards their positions. "Go! I'll keep the one that comes this way under control, just go!" She said loudly, the sound of the bombs covering out the sound of anything she said. She had been speaking very quietly, only a gentle whisper before the bombs. Hopefully she had been sneaky enough to keep out of the villain's eye. If that were the case, her plan to be the unexpected third hero would go over quiet well.

Jacob 'Flash Drive' Libra
"Brute Force may be able to Force the Door Open......" Jacob didn't seem to move an inch, with the exception of turning his head slightly towards them. "Cutting the power wont stop the cameras, i can keep them going for about....ten....fifthteen mintuites when they plan on doing that, the best plan of action would be to re......" Jacob wouldn't get to finish his sentence, as the smoke bombs covered the front area, causing a large ammount of smoke and dust to fly into his mask. Thinking fast, Jacob used his powers to reach out to the helicopter that had flown by only moments ago, forcing it to turn around, and head for them. As it would near, its powerful Propellers would easily blow the smoke away from the steps, As jacob forced the machine to lower in the middle of the street, it's landing gear about head level. With this done, Jacob stood up calmly, Speaking louder as he approached the helicopter. "My Powers work best out here, Stand back, and dont look towards the street lights," As jacob moved towards the helicopter, he sent the message to the police forces through their radios, informing them of the villians position. As per jacob's request, Several more Emergency service vehicles were on their way, including a Fire truck. Jacob raised his hand, placing it lightly upon the helicopters landing gear, his hands sparky as his body followed suit, his body turning into electricity as he merged with the machine. As he did, the helicopter rose up to the height of the building the villains stood on, it's search light pointed directly at the group, it's light intensifying far past it's normal birghtness, the light burning hotter as jacob tweeked the lights systems, forcing more power through it in order to, hopefully, turn this once normal searchlight, into a beam of burning white light.

╚══════════════╝ "running the game
xxxxxwhat am I saying?"Smith had always been a sucker for compliments, and Nightmare's verbal pat on the back sure did a number on his attitude. That being said, he did absolutely nothing to help out his Professor friend as he was arguing, besides think as loud as he could that he thought he was right.
"If you guys are done," P3000 smiled to the other two members of the trio just as the third man's bomb went off "I'm starting now." The only good thing about doing missions at night, was how beautiful Smith's power was against the pitch black backdrop of the city, even if he couldn't help but worry that it would be the last city night he would see as a free man for stealing a Sapphire worth billions of dollars. The air around his feet glowed a bright orange just before an explosion of energy - and color - shot him in the air just fast enough to see the rouge helicopter rising up from the entrance of the museum where he nearly killed the heroes with his propellers. Damn. Thats my job. he thought to himself before he noticed the helicopter's lights go from high beams to well beyond annoying a*****e with his blinders on.
Smith flew in faster then a speeding. . . pigeon, as he rode down on his energy board while simultaneously changing it into a shield to protect his partners in crime. "Get behind me!" he shouted over his shoulder as he swooped into block the light. Standing in front of the super blinders, he couldn't help but think about his "training", where he would use his power in a similar fashion as the helicopter, only difference was he was aiming at bacon, not cat burglars.
