Anderson spat blood, sat up and assessed his situation. Niner had apparently gone nuts; neutralize him. The vampire, unconscious. The silver whatever-it-was, gone. And the building had gone crazy... well, too bad for it.

He kicked a tendril of the wall that reached out for his leg, hopped and cursed as his toe throbbed, and was promptly bowled over by another telekinetic pulse. He pulled out his USP, decided the silencer wasn't worth it and left it in its pouch, and holding it, crawled forwards towards Niner, ignoring the pulsations in the floor...

Blast panted, it was right fucking there and staring at him... But didn't do anything. The guy had to be right or he would have been in small pieces by now, that though brought up memory that Blast had to stomp hard on, now was not the time to vomit on this dude's slacks. He took some deep breaths. In and out, in and out He was sweating, but no one would be able to tell that through the suit until he started to stink.

"Okay... But how do we tell what's real and what's fake?" He asked.

Blackheart put him down. "Shoot only the guys I shoot. It's hitting me less hard." He ignored the pulsing coccons in the wall. He did not need this fucking head trip. "It's not going to be easy. You still up for this?"

Niner was curled into the fetal postition in his tube, and he couldnt get out. It didnt matter how hard he kept the pulsing, the tube wouldnt break. The scientists were rolling on the ground, laughing. Niner, enraged, kept pulsing.

"Shoot only the guys I shoot. It's hitting me less hard." He ignored the pulsing coccons in the wall. He did not need this fucking head trip. "It's not going to be easy. You still up for this?"

"No one promised it would be easy. You go first." Blast said, he was twitching, he could see things out of the corner of his eye. Man no wonder the druggies at school had always seemed like they were looking for a dark corner to hide in...

Adam awoke, yet he instinctively kept his head down to shield himself from the next of the TK pulses. He opened his eyes gingerly to see... that the floor was pulsating. "Oh... that's great."

Blackheart nodded. "Okay. I'm Blackheart, Ultima Teams. Let's see if we can put an end to all this shit." He jogged ahead, ignoring the squishing sound underfoot.

frigidmagi · Post by **frigidmagi** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 4:37 pm

"I'm called Blast." Blast replied has he jogged after the man. Hands were reaching out of the walls now, groping after him. Blast concenrated on Blackheart's back and tried to ignore them and the voices calling after him.

Niner slowed down his pulsing. It wasnt workin. THe pulsing slowed and stopped. He need to do something else. He directed his gaze towards the scientists. They had quit laughing and were celebrating.

I will kill each and everyone of you.

Mark gained control over the suit while in mid-flight.

"That's nice Leg, I'm sure you're very sorry just pull yourself together!" The suit stopped flailing and the insane fall soon became a controlled one.

"Alright, something's gone bonkers in that building. Probably that damn Meta. This is why I hate taking jobs before I know who I'm up against."

Mark paused for a second as wings grew out of his back and he began to glide down. His head was cocked as though he were listening. "Yeah, there might still be hostages. But it looks like there's some kind of explosions going on in there and Gravitas can take care of it. So what do we do? Whoever caused this isn't going to stick around in a building that's falling down around their ears."

The wings folded back into the suit and a tendril reached out and grabbed the side of a nearby building. Legacies watched the outside. Hopefully those amateurs inside would live to learn from their mistakes.

"Pleased to meet you," Blackheart called back as he reached stairs of muscle and bone. This is just a mind fuck, he reminded himself. Not real. The pulses that were beginning to shake the building were coming from upstairs. "Alright. Let's do this thing." He flew up towards the tremors.

Adam glanced up as the pulses stopped, and saw something which made his blood boil with rage...

It was Rhona, his daughter, his sweet daughter, who'd always held an air of youth. She was his only source of happiness in life, the one thing he'd done in the last century which wasn't murder or butchery. She was dead, her skull smashed open against the walls by the telekinetic surges, and anger overtook him, overriding any rational sense of thought. He knew who was to blame for this, and his angry gaze travelled to the robed figure hovering several feet in the air

Though the TK pulses had stopped, their effects were all-too lasting. He leapt at Niner angrily, ready to tear that thing's head off and spit down its neck.

Niner snapped his tail out and broke the tube. He hung there in mid air as the fluid splashed around him. He saw a security guard running at him and leap, trying to tackle him. Faster than anyone thought possible, Niner's heavy tail snapped out and struck the guard in the head.

Narsil · Post by **Narsil** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 4:55 pm

Adam was sent flying backwards from the blow, the guy was fast to have kicked him from that position, but no matter. The one who had murdered his daughter wasn't going to last long, Adam cast a glance outside the window, and there was nothing but the darkness of night. The vampire's eyes turned yellow, and his hair became white-grey, there was a much more powerful vampire for that murderer to deal with now.

His strength and speed were now augmented by both his rage and his fully-realised vampirism, and thus: he extended his claws, bared his fangs, and then leapt at the robed figure, ready to tear it to pieces.

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 4:59 pm

Niner saw the guard get back up. He jumped him again. Niner right arm shot outwards and the guard froze in mid air, suspended by TK. He shifted his right eye, the purple glaring at the guard and entered his mind. But his mind wasnt that of a guard, it was the comedian from the building. Niner focused and suddenly he was back in the building, wearing his cloak, floating in the air and the comedian was struggling to get free.

Adam growled and snarled, "Put me down and fight me like a man you murderous bastard!"

Phil had been in the beginning of opening a portal to safety for the hostages. Then reality melted away. He was Home. But it was all wrong. It was all wrong....

The Aberrant War wasn't over. It was getting worse. On instinct, the Nova threw up the most powerful personal shield he could, bending space around himself and the civilians he saw. Divas Mal. Caesus Pax. And worse. Nameless horrors. The Colony, even.

Protect the humans. You're a fucking god. You must protect the humans!

"RUN, DAMN YOU ALL!" Screamed the Teragen renegade. He held the portal open, warping space to hold back the nuclear weapons and orbital laser strikes he envisioned.

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:17 pm

Niner felt the building shake again. That wasnt him. He focused and blew a wall open, leading outside. He grabbed Anderson and Adamn with TK and flew out, dragging them along. He reached a neighbooring rooftop and left the two heros there and teleported away.

Narsil · Post by **Narsil** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:24 pm

Adam, away from the infected air of the binary building, came to his senses. His daughter couldn't have been there, she couldn't have been dead. She was back home in Glasgow, with the rest of the coven. He'd have to remember to apologise to the psychic later, if he saw the bugger again. He glanced at the masked human who'd been dumped on the rooftop next to him, he was unconscious, or at least appeared to be.

"Excellent time to be knocked out, mate," he muttered sarcastically.

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:24 pm

Mark watched as a figure flew out from flying debris. Quickly he dived down towards it, it may be his enemy. But as it landed it set two bodies down and teleported away. There was that masked guy, and someone else. Looks like there'd been far more here than he'd thought. Jesus with this many metas and they were still getting beat? This was pathetic. Mark looked at the one who was standing. "We've got to find the one responsible for this. He can't still be in the building.

Narsil · Post by **Narsil** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:29 pm

"Perhaps," Adam replied to the silvery... thing that was stood there, which he'd caught a glimpse of earlier, he scanned the streets below, "there's no sign of any metas down there, although our enemy could just as easily be human-looking, or even a human with some amount of resources, what do you suggest we do now... Mr...?"

The cold was bad. Very bad.

The lycanthrope flexed his mental muscles once again to defend himself. As the blast of cold hit him, it immediatly transitioned to the soothing temperature of bathwater.

"I am on your side, stop the cold" he bellowed, directing the air which vibrated to produce the sound to focus it, gently and non painfully into their ears so it it could be heard over the battle

He proved his good will by saving the agent's asses. Several of them were in the path of two car halves. He caused a massive but benign updraft to pick the agents up just as the car was about to smash into them; and lifted them above the car and resulting shrapnel before setting them back down

"THere are more important things right now than jurisdiction. We can burn that bridge when we get to it" he bellowed again in the general direction of the assembled Feds.

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:41 pm

Mark watched around the building. "Mark, or Legacies. Take your pick." A piece of the suit moved seemingly on it's own accord. "And you are?"

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:41 pm

The tremors stopped as Blackheart flew up and found wreckage, a deserted room, and not much else. "Fuck."

Narsil · Post by **Narsil** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:45 pm

"Thorne, Adam Thorne..." the vampire replied, mock-imitating Sean Connery's James Bond, "now..." he glanced at the slowly-crumbling building, "I'm open to suggestions as to 'What the fuck do we do about this?!'."
