Metahuman RP Chapter 2: The Jailbreak
 

Shadi through a crack in the prison wall. "Too easy." he muttered. He saw a lone guard patrolling the halls, and one the guard's back was turned, Shadi stretched out his arm and wrapped his hand around th guard's head, suffocating him. He then traipsed down the corridors, six more arms erupting from his back. He slashed apart every cell door and released all of the prisoners, slashing open a hole in the main door and letting them file out. He gave them instructions to cause nuclear meltdowns in nuclear power plants nationwide and slashed apart their chains. "Now to find that professor leading the metahuman research." he muttered, stretching and leaping to a building top.

************************************************** *****

In an apartment in a corner of New York City, Professor Fernan studied a metahuman cell and a human cell. His notebook lay open, revealing all his notes and theories. Suddenly, the window crashed open and a tall jet-black metahuman with white, lidless, irisless eyes, two normal-looking legs, and eight bladed arms stepped in. "Come, professor. We're going to have a chat." said the figure, slicing the lamp apart and grabbing Fernan and his notebook. The metahuman clambered back out the window and stretched one of his arms to the railing of another apartment, the hooked blade on the end anchoring it there. The metahuman then leapt out and swung upwards (kinda like Spiderman), only to stretch his arm and repeat it. "Amazing!" murmured Fernan. "Shut-up!" replied the metahuman, striking Fernan on the head and knocking him out.

THUMP THUMP THUMP!

The crushing sound of asphalt and concrete echoed throughout the relatively large, very dimly lit alleyway, the large metal man having increased the speed of his strides. The light was such that a faint shimmer was reflected from the back of the large man, a large absence of any glinting light on the area of body his costume covered.

In a brief manner of time, he reached the destination. Mettle confirmed this by the loudspeakers the police were using, trying to "coerce" whoever it was inside to come out and give up his hostage. The hero metahuman knew that now would be his only chance to act. He hadn't put much thought into the plan, really... It was more or less "smash-in-the-wall-beat-up-the-bad-guy."

Fist balled, arm cocked back, and with a rather loud burst of sound, the wall before Mettle gave way in such a manner that it was as though a well placed small amount of explosives had been detonated. Brick and dust flew forward, so much to the point of making breathing slightly more difficult, but only for a waning moment, perhaps even a pair of moments.

The hostage taker inside turned out to be little more than a very scruffy looking man. Although, the one thing that made this particular man stand aside from the rest was a machine gun. A very large machine gun. Mettle couldn't identify which kind, due to lack of complete lumination.

"S-s-st-op! I'll shoot!!!" The scruffy man nervously called out, gun pointed for Mettle's chest.

The hostage of his was little more than a teen-aged girl, bound and gagged and lying off in a dank, dirty corner with a bit of stagnant water hither and thither.

"Then what?!" Mettle shouted in his fair German accent, whilst lumbering toward the "kidnapper." The height differences were more than notable: a mere 5'8'' compared to 7'0''.

Finally, he snapped. The "kidnapper" let loose a wall of munitions into Mettle's chest. Well, at least he thought he did. There was no sound of metal piercing flesh, only metal clanging off of metal. Much to his astonishment, the scruffy man had done absolutely nothing in terms of physical damage to Mettle.

Without further speech, Mettle grabbed hold of the barrel of the gun, and with one quick back-jerking motion, yanked the man from his feet (who was still holding onto the gun, naturally), and tossed him aside very harshly into one of the more in tact walls.

The scruffy man fell limp.

Mettle approached the girl, his demeanor, at least whatever expression he could muster in his face, changed. It had more of a...caring appearance.

"Are you...hurt?" Mettle question, his accent affecting his words.

The back door burst open before the girl could react. Seems that the police decided to go with the SWAT team as opposed to completing negotiations...

Shockwave turned a corner, driving the old non-descript Shadow he "found." He stopped just at the entrance of an alleyway, waiting for the Pickup.

Ooc: By pickup, I mean Shadi and the professor.

Zinx watched the Metal Man take out the kidnapper throught the NVGs. He felt the need to applaude. And was about to before S.W.A.T. Had Made their pressence known. Once again he had to be glad he was claked and therefore invisible. However that didn't help the current situation. Last time the kidnapper had been aiming at the metal man while the girl was on the other side of the room. If SWAT opened fire now they might hit her.

"She looks so similar" he breathed out, suprised at his own words. He dismissed the thought sensing the need for urgency. He would need to make a distraction but how. He dropped the gun he had obtained earlier, he wouldn't need it. He had no time for the usual banter and instead just let the cord do its magic. He let the objects drop into his hand and walked up to the metal man. "Sheild your eyes." He gave a nod to his left hand "great back to the formalities".

The tentacle took the object and stretched out between him and SWAT a few feet away. He closed his eyes as the flash bang went off and he grabbed the girl pointing his hand toward the exit previously made by the metal man. He heard the same popping sound he had earlier and for a brief moment it felt like his arm was going to be ripped off. As he was sent flying toward the exit. He skidded toward the exit on his back holding the girl ontop of him. He got up and fired another shot off toward a nearby rooftop. He finally breathed in as he watched the situation below him and trying to get the ringing out of his ears.

Hunter was heading for the hole in the side of the building when all hell broke lose. There was a bright flash, which didn't bother Hunter, and a very loud bang which nearly deafened him. At almost the same time a figure holding someone rocketed out of the hole. Before Hunter could act the figure shot some short of gun into the air and was gone before he knew it. Turning to Spark he yelled, "You follow him I'm going to see whats going on in here." Then he turned and stepped into the hole.

At once he noticed the rather big metahuman that appeared to be covered in metal. Let's hope I don't have to deal with that, Hunter thought to himself as he masked his true location while projecting a false image. Then for good measure, while the S.W.A.T. team was still stunned by the flash he put up a false image between the metahuman and his attackers. The image was designed to make them think they had somehow turned around during the confusion. It wouldn't keep them long so he would have to work fast.

His image stepped up to this metal man with Hunter just a few steps behind. Then Hunter called, "I think it's time to be leaving before the discover what I just did." He began to turn away but stopped, "Oh by the way my name is Flash and I guess you could call me a master of illusions. Which is why we must move quickly."

Shadi dropped into the alley where Shockwave was waiting and set Fernan on a trash can. The six arms protruding from his back retracted. "Now it's your turn. I released the prisoners and sent them out as planned, so now we must find the secret of the nuclear radiation that transformed us. You interrogate him; I'll browse his notebook."

************************************************** ************

Fernan groggily opened his eyes and found himself in an alley. Next to him was the black metahuman who'd kidnapped him and another person who he could only assume was also a metahuman. "What's going on? Why've you brought me here." The black metahuman, who'd apparently had his back to him, turned and glowered at him. "You're here because you know the secret radioactive particle that transformed us, you fuggin' Normie!"

Sparks nodded, and sprinted at the building the man with the girl had jumped onto. (Note your post made no sense, so I'm assuming you're on a rooftop. Mainly because you were watching the action below you)

With little option, he found a slate of metal, and hopped onto it. Using magnetism, he lifted it up until he was at the roof. Simontaneously, he established kind of a magnetic wall that would halt all metal in place when it touched. He mentally made a note to keep his credit-card away from it.

His hands burst into sparks, and he looked at the guy with the flashbangs. His ears were still ringing, and his eyes had the occasional spark, but he could still see his target.

"Back away from the girl, hands in the air!"

"Hey, hey I'm the good guy here." Zechs said before realizing he was still cloaked and invisible to the human eye. He reached and clicked off the stealth chip deciding to keep it in case of an emergency later. He backed away from the girl as he spoke. The tentacles once again came up but this time peered around the situation as if looking for something. "great thats the last thing I need" the thought floated in his head for less then a second before he dismissed it. "So who are you and what do you want?"

"I'm Sparks. Now, hands nice and high, and I want you to walk four meters away from that girl."

He kept his crackling fists levelled at him.

Zinx complied. He held his hands up high while walking slowly away from the girl. "Nice tomeet you sparks now could we speed this along some its been a long night with all the explosions, and rescuing a hostage. So if we could skip to the part where we start talking civily."
