Poultrygeist (15) : As Destiny City is a bustling metropolis, it’s not unexpected that there should be some strange animals running the streets. Sometimes it’s a tiger, sometimes a monkey, sometimes a chicken. Sometimes it’s something worse. Strange egg clusters have appeared in Destiny City’s parks and officials aren’t really sure what they are; these eggs have nothing inside of them. Though it’s an anomaly, they are chalking it up to teenaged pranks. However, they have advised to just leave the eggs as they are. Nobody wants to say why, but if you’re out late at night, you’ll find out. In the darkness, whispered between the sounds of the city: a guttural, rasping cluck. The creature stands on stilt-like legs, rooted to the ground with razor-sharp talons. It wears a cloak of long, oily feathers that drag on the ground with a sinister scraping. If you stare into the darkness, piercing red eyes stare back at you. That’s all it takes for a confrontation: a mangled bird, maybe a chicken in another life, comes barreling out at you. It stands easily as tall as a person, but the proportions are all wrong. The smell of sulfur follows it as it lunges, pecking and screaming and scratching as it attempts to chase you away. Maybe, from the nests full of empty eggs. The battles are fierce, but fleeting; it will viciously try to chase you away but the effects are always the same: at some point, the eggs are crushed. As always, there’s nothing inside of them, but with one final wail, the bird will vanish into a plume of foul smoke.
Note: If you choose to encounter one of these bird-like creatures, your character will recognize they are not youma. It is impossible to tell if it is a single entity or if there are many. The bird does not seem to understand or care to listen to human words. It will always disappear in a malodorous plume of smoke and leave nothing but a foul odor and a clutch of empty, broken eggs behind. This RP can be used as a battle requirement as long as there are two powered characters involved; you must be interacting with another player’s powered character. This does not count as the one youma battle per stage for growth so characters can still use an NPC youma battle as well as this one for growth purposes. This can only be used as a battle requirement once per character, but there is no limitation for how many times a player can use this prompt.

Storm had finished fire dance training for the night and well, he'd admittedly been curious about these reports of strange eggs had his curiosity up and well quite frankly it was a good chance to maybe meet up with some other powered folks because he was sure someone would be out wanting to investigate the weird eggs.
After all, it was Destiny City no one was surprised when a new weird thing popped up but it wasn't out of the question to be super curious about it. He'd headed to the park where the reports of the sightings had been. Slowing down outside wondering if he should try to reach out and see if other dark mirror senshi were in the area or --- wait?
After a moment he realized he could feel an energy signature in the area.

Kissling spent a lot of time at the park, so he was rather familiar with it. However, as of late, he had been cooped up indoors because he'd been helping his employers get some book scripts and illustrations ready to be edited and published to meet a deadline, so it was the first time he'd actually been able to go out and about as a senshi in a long while. Unfortunately for him, that meant he hadn't managed to catch wind of the strange eggs that rumors kept talking about.
From a distance, he saw something sparkling in the low light of the setting sun that attracted his attention. Heading toward it to find out what was glinting at him so merrily, he found a nest of the strange eggs and, among them all, a Crimson Star Charm. Though he didn't recognize it at first, he reached down to pick it up and turn it over in his hand. "How'd you end up all the way over here?" he asked it with some amusement, thinking to himself. He'd heard something about birds collecting shiny things to add to their nests, but these were pretty big eggs. What kind of bird could they have belonged to?
A rasping cluck sounded from behind him and Kissling jumped up, startled. He turned toward the newcomer as he put away the star charm, prepared to use his power if he had to, only to see it was a giant, badly-proportioned, foul-smelling bird. Was this the thing that had laid all those eggs? Was this its nest?!
Realizing he was probably in a very bad position indeed, especially because the bird might have possibly been even taller than him, though he wasn't about to go stand by it to check. He was tempted to put a hand up to cover his mouth and nose, but he was afraid to make any offensive moves, so he slowly took a step back...and stepped on an egg.
"- Huh?!" To his immense surprise, the egg was completely empty. However, that didn't stop the bird from becoming enraged and charging. Yelling in fright, Kissling leapt out of the way, and just in time, too. A sharp talon grazed his leg as the bird tried to scratch at him. But when he looked up from where he'd fallen on the ground, he noticed he'd fallen at someone else's feet - someone whose energy signature he had been too busy to notice. But he checked it then.
A chaos energy signature; the same type of chaos as his own. Kissling raised his gaze gradually as it travelled up the stranger to their face and he regarded them with stunned awe. They looked like quite the force to be reckoned with. He hadn't really ever run into other Dark Mirror Senshi on patrol before, so this was a pleasant surprise.
Quickly scrambling to his feet, he made an effort to stand beside the other senshi instead of behind him and tried not to seem too helpless. Still, what could they do against that thing?
"Uh...h-hi," he greeted with a sheepish smile. "I hope your magic is better than mine...because I really don't want to have to try kissing that thing."
Storm had made fairly decent time making his way to the park and locating the energy signature that he'd felt. It was another dark mirror senshi to his delight. He got to actually work with someone from his own faction, he hadn't interrupted Kissling just yet.
He had seen the other step on the eggs from a bit away and the chicken seemed to become angry. When Kissling ended up beside him Storm's brow lofted when they gave him a greeting and said they hoped his magic was better than theirs.
"Aloha." He responded before looking back towards the stinky chicken charging towards them, "I don't know if it's better but. . . . it might even the playing field."
"Venting Charge!" He called watching the ground erupt into volcanic vents and the air become charged with lightning from the attack. Leaving the chicken to slow down some and getting zapped with the static electricity that was being produced.
"We'll still have to do some work." He added wondering where the hell the demonic chicken came from, "Any idea what it is or where it came from?"
Venting Charge When storm calls out his attack this causes vents** to open in the earth much like volcanic vents in a three and a half foot radius around him. From within those vents small particles of ash and dust swell and swirl upwards in flurries causing static electricity that can shock anyone within range of the clouds or inside of the clouds; they reach a maximum height of seven foot, but become less dense the higher up the clouds reach. This is fairly easy to dodge as long as the people caught up in the affected area is aware of their surroundings. This attack can last up to twenty seconds and be used twice but it has a thirty second recharge.
**The vents can be trip hazards. There's no real damage from the vent's themselves; but the static/electric charge is at it's highest levels here.
