Metahuman RP Chapter 1: The Dead of Night
 

Torch sat at his apartment, constantly snapping his fingers and creating a small flame. "At this rate, I'll never master these powers." He covered his ears and looked out the window to see an unnaturally tall figure running down the street, followed by two police cars, their sirens blaring. "What the," he muttered, climbing out of the window and running after them.

Shadi flung himself around an alley corner, desperately trying to escape the light from the cop cars. He saw that the alley was totally dark and grinned. He flattened himself against the wall and stretched, making himself appear to look like the wall. He didn't expect a helicopter to come over the alley and flash the searchlight right on his face. "AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!" he yelled, dropping down and returning to normal size. He got up and continued running, only to smack into another person. The two of them fell on the ground and soon sat up. "Who the hell are you?" Shadi whispered.

OOC: SAAM, I was hoping the guy Shadi ran into could be your character. Wou;d you mind playing along?

Shawn stood up quickly, narrowing his eyes at the freak. "I am no one to be triffled with! and that is all you need know!" Just then, the police cruisers swerved around the corner, two officers stepping out of each, leveling their firearms at the two.
"Freeze! Police!" yelled one, as another looked across to his partner. "Hey Joe! that's the guy from TV, the guy who was blowing up shit about a week ago!"

"Take 'em down!" another replied, but never got a chance to fire a shot. A blast of bright yellow energy rammed into the hood of the car, crumpling the front end inward and sending the two officers flying. The cruiser exploded upon hitting the side of a building, it's gas tank rupturing. The two remaining officers stared in shock, hands trembling on their guns.

Shawn closed his now smoking fist, and prepared to fire another shot.

Ryu was cornered near the small barn, the drug lord's minions on the other side, a variety of ranged weapons pointing at him as they stalked through the long grass.

"Surrender!" yelled one near the front of the pack in a heavy accent.

Ryu stepped out and bowed mockingly. "You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept."

The man sneered at him, revealling several gold teeth. "bah! Chavo will want you dead anyway, Kill him!" he called out, causing the motley group to open fire.

Ryu's brain imediatelly converted to it's velocitized mode, the bullets were coming straight at him, but moving so slowly that he could see the trails they were cutting through the air. He charged forward, expertly leaping, diving and dodging each of the deadly projectiles as he closed in. Hand-spaning to the side, leveled Back-spinning heel kick at the first henchman's jaw, sending spittle and brown teeth flying from his mouth. He leaped at the next on in line as the others started to turn, slowly tracking his previous movements; grabbing his shoulders, flipping over, and shoving his legs out to send the man flying into several of his compatriots. Rolling backwards onto his feet, Ryu struck with an open palm into the nose of the gold toothed speaker, breaking it in several places before grabbing the man's assault rifle and turning it upon the others.

To him the whole ordeal felt like it took five minutes; in reality, it took a few seconds.

OOC: Did you watch The Princess Bride? Those are word-for-word quotes from that movie.

IC: Just as the two remaining cops hesitated at seeing their companions blown away, Shadi's upper body stretched forward ten feet and his hands morphed into blades, slicing through the officers like a hot knife through butter. "Shadi turned back to Shawn and extended his hand. "Da name's Shadi."

OOC: ignore this post, i got characters mixed up. (i thought Shadi was a typo for Shade) i can't think of anything for my Character to do at this time, so carry on.

OOC: Shade, you made a fatal error. We've two people who manipulate shadow. One's mine, Shadi, and the other is yors, Shade.

OOC: I edited my post.

Ooc: ... Maybe...

Ic: Michaels shook the extended hand, the moonlight glinting slightly on his perfect teeth, which were revealed by a not-to-pleasant smile. "Shawn Michaels is my name, but the media has taken to calling me "Shockwave." He looked up as he heard the sound of a helecopter approaching. "And speaking of the Media, they will soon be here with the police to investigate what has transpired here." They walked quickly away from the blaze, and into an alley.

"Tell me, why were the police chasing you?" he asked, slowly flexing his hand.

Shadi shook his head. "Some woman said I mugged her. Happens all the time."

"Figures." Michaels replied, but his next sentence was cut off as the sound of police sirens grew louder and louder. "They will be here with SWAT next time, do you know of anyplace that we can go while we wait for this to blow over?" He looked out, a snear on his face. "They raided my last few homes."

ooc: Little late because I had some ISP troubles.

ic: Hunter tapped into the police radios from half way across town while concentrating on creating a solid disc of light. He intended to use it to fly once he was sure he could rely on it. At first he paid no attention to the police radios until he saw the explosion. Police cars don't usually blow up when chasing muggers, he thought to himself, I should check this out. He jumped off the roof on which he was practicing and used the light from one of the street lamps to slow his desent. Then he ran in the direction of the explosion.
