Domino Town Central Bank, a magnificent specimen of technology and a panicle location of finance within the business sector of Domino Town. Upon entering one was greeted with a brilliantly decorated wide open chamber, so ornately designed that even the red rope barriers in which the customers stood seemed to contribute to the overall appearance of the building. At the far end of the room, a humungous safe door at least twice the height of a normal man. It was in this bank that Jarreth stood in line, waiting for his turn to talk to one of the many staff behind an array of bullet proof glass shielded counters.

He had been given a small amount of money by his parents to use during his time at the school, to be paid in monthly deposits from a separate account, and the time had come for him to pick up his first payment or at least to check if it had arrived. Jarreth knew that he didn’t have anything he wanted to spend the money on as everything had been adequately supplied for him by the school, nor did he doubt that the money would be lost. Checking was however something for him to pass the time with and also an excuse to leave the school and survey the surrounding area.

The line Jarreth stood in seemed to not be moving at all at this current time, causing some irritation amongst those being held up. At the front of the queue a man was arguing with the woman behind the counter, apparently over a missed payment judging by what was being angrily spouted in hushed tones in an attempt for the rest of those within the room to not overhear. It made Jarreth wonder if this was something that happened within banks on a regular basis, if it were he would make an attempt to not come so often as it was taking time away from his day. With all the commotion nobody even noticed what was happening at the other end of the room.

Five men had entered the bank all at once, men who looked somewhat out of place in this area as each one was dressed from head to toe in black neo gothic outfits. Leather coats and white buttoned shirts, black drainpipe jeans decorated with studded belts and expensive wingtip boots. They didn’t even look as if they were interested in an average transaction either, they all glanced around the room with amused smiles upon their faces, laughing to one another as if they all knew something those around them did not. The group were all Asian, from their appearances most likely Korean. The obvious leader of the group, who stood at the front, was smoking, quite humorously directly underneath a no smoking sign.

The group were quickly classed as trouble makers and as such a guard approached the five after being talked to through his radio. The guard himself was very well built, standing at an average of just over 6 feet he was quite the deterrent to anyone who aimed to cause trouble in this establishment. Once he came to the group he stopped and glared face to face with the most dominant figure of the five, the man smoking at the front, who smirked back at him hardly looking scared at all by this man’s towering physique over him.

“And what is your business here?” The guard asked in a quite intimidating manner, the man simply smiled back, his eyes actually closed at this point. He seemed strangely calm despite the situation.

“I’ll like to make a withdrawal” He replied pleasantly, something that confused the guard, who stared back at the man in disbelief of his cheerfulness.

“Of how much?” He asked suspiciously. At this the man opened his eyes revealing a rather nasty glare beneath his long dark hair, his lips moving from their previously pleasant smile to a more sinister one.

“Everything.” He replied in a dark malicious tone, reaching into his jacket to flash a gun into the guards sights. To this the guard reacted swiftly, who brought his arm backwards and curled his hand into a fist as the entire limb began to vibrate rapidly before bursting aflame. It would make sense that those guarding a bank within a city designed for Meta Humans would also be Meta Humans and this particular one appeared to hold a especially powerful ability. Those within the bank screamed and shrieked in panic almost instantly, people who had been watching the situation dove for cover however none even tried to make it for the door, which was blocked by the group. The guard swung his fist towards the gang leader’s face causing a loud impact sound to emit across the bank. However, it was not the man who had fallen. One of the other men, standing to the leader’s right, had stepped forwards incredibly quickly, his entire leg was risen upwards and his foot positioned high into the air. The guard was stumbling on his toes, his entire head tilted backwards. It was obvious that he had been kicked underneath the chin however the impact had been so fast no normal person would have been able to see it. The guards flaming arm slowly flickered and died leaving a bare arm behind, his shirt gone and singed at the shoulder where the flames had touched. The man who had kicked him grinned happily behind a mess of spiked electric blue hair, he slowly lowered his foot downwards and prodded the guard softly in the face, toppling him unconscious backwards onto the floor.

“Don’t just stand there you two get a move on.” The leader sighed, two of the group jumped with sudden shock and quickly took out weapons and begin firing them into the air wildly, causing an insanely loud alarm to ring across the entire bank. At this metal grates slid down in front of the doors, blocking off all escape. The three continued to fire bullets from their weapons even after this, taking out security cameras and alarms and spraying glass downwards onto a terrified crowd. As they did this the leader and the man with the electric blue hair walked calmly forwards. Stopping about midway into the wide open room. The firing stopped a short while after this, the alarm had stopped ringing as the two seemed to have taken out all of the sources of the noise with their weapons.

“Ladies and Gentlemen!” The leader of the group called out loudly enough for everyone to hear, “I’ll be your bank robber for this evening!”

Joanne as always dress for the occasion today in one of her best dresses, the powder blue spaghetti strap dress reach all the way to her ankles, it was simple but effective. Joanne wanted to scream at the top of her lungs as she waited in line why the hell did I have to pick stilettos today?
Today was her uncles‘birthday and she still hadn’t got him a present so going to the bank was her first order of the day. Jo’s powers where such a hindrance at times especially since her control of certain aspects is not that big, she could have a card but no, her magnetic powers ended up frying all the cards she had in the past so she had to take the long way to get her money directly from the source.

She didn’t pay attention at the series of events until she heard the man talk “Ladies and Gentlemen!” Jo moved so she could have clear look at who was talking "“I’ll be your bank robber for this evening!” where’s security when you need it she look around and saw the man he was looking for Great he’s not going to be of helpgood thing that she decided to stop dyeing her hair pink in the last few weeks or she would stand out like a sore thumb.

Mikhail's family was never high up there in terms of money. Every penny for tuition they had must be made sure it reached their destination. It was for this reason Mikhail was at the bank that particular day. He was making sure the payment had gone through smoothly. He was sitting down in a comfortable chair waiting for the clerk to come back with the bank statement to confirm everything. He did not wear his school uniform that day like he wanted to as he wanted to make sure it was clean for when he truly started school. For that reason he wore a simple black dress shirt with long sleeves and black dress pants. In his hand was a book he was reading diligently, slouching down in the chair.

He had noted the men when they came in and sighed once they started to shoot. He tapped the back of his book cover with his fingers to help him focus. He created a few gravitational fields to stop and divert glass that was about to fall on him. He moved them to his side and dropped the shards. Without looking up he flipped a page over and started to read again, glancing up at the men with his silvery gray eyes before turning his attention back to his book.

Yes, that's 18 with a Vizard mask.
[ * ]
It was her first job. Sure, her family had a rather secure income due to her mother's research and her father's military influence, but Kira had always been one to take the initiative when it came to learning something new. After much arguing with her mother, as well as using up nearly all her minutes on her phone, she was able to acquire a job. She dressed nicely, went out, and obtained a job as a waitress. Sure, she was a bit young, but luckily for her, the age to obtain a job was far younger in Japan than it was over seas. Her first week had gone without problems, much to both her relief and complete shock. As one to always have bad luck following her, the accident-prone crimson haired Gravitymancer was quite aware that she had to be far more careful while at her new job; people were relying on her, as well as paying her, to not only 'not' screw up, but to make certain that all the tasks required of her were well taken care of. Thus far, her first week had gone better than she could have possibly hoped. Patrons adored her, her coworkers were just glad they could get someone as well organized as her; she of course, thanked her mom for that. Her OCD-type organization did take after her. Thus, she arrived at the bank, well prepared to cash in her first paycheck. Though normally, she would be one to save up her money in order to preserve a secure future down the road, she couldn't help but feel the need to spoil herself. And why not? She felt so much pride welling up inside of her, she just couldn't help it!

There was a sudden sound that seemed to awaken her from her daydream; a few sounds, actually, and quite deafening. Shock and panic soon filled the room, with Kira expressing a complete shocked and confused expression. She felt her heart racing as several people attempted to escape, while others dropped to the floor or threw their hands up. There was chaos everywhere until more rounds of ammunition reached the ceiling above. Kira felt her heart reach her throat, and swallowing six or seven times did little in getting it back into her chest.

“Ladies and Gentlemen! I’ll be your bank robber for this evening!”

... and she was just thinking of how she hadn't had any bad luck as of late...

The bank robber had waited a short moment to witness peoples reactions to his prior statement, a rather sinister smirk was printed across his face while most people in the room got down onto the ground, most with their hands over their heads for protection. He seemed to be getting some sort of pleasure from doing this, it was obvious that he enjoyed scaring these people so it was left to the unknown as to what else he would enjoy along those lines. A few people had attempted to escape out of the doors as the metal grates slid downwards and were now being harshly pulled back into the centre of the room by the two who had been firing previously. Leaving the one who had kicked the guard in the face to stand next to the leader of the group while the one remaining gang member stood still where he was, unmoving even as what carrying on around him went forth. In fact he hadn’t even moved once since he had walked into the building.

“I’m sorry where are my manners.” The gang leader continued after this brief pause, “I am Gim Kwan, this is my associate Tokko Suk”

As the gang leader who apparently went by the name Kwan introduced the man with the electric blue hair, he took a bow, still in his slouched poise which he had maintained even while kicking earlier. Suk seemed younger than Kwan and a lot more untidy as well, his hands seemed to be constantly in his black jacket pockets, which itself was not done up as smartly as Kwan’s either. His white shirt was not tucked in and he seemed to be wearing at least five studded belts at the same time, not only this but while all the others were wearing expensive looking wingtip boots, he wore green converse trainers. If one would look past his messiness they’d begin to think that he was actually quite handsome, although this was spoilt by the way he gazed madly out across the room with a malicious grin upon his face, making him seem quite wild and untamed. This was contrasted quite brilliantly with the appearance of Kwan, who stood right next to his subordinate the entire time. He wore this gang uniform perfectly, even going so far as to having a pair of cuff links upon his wrists and a single smart leather belt. His long black hair was tied at the back leaving only a few stray ends to flick out in front of his face, which was so obviously well looked after that it was difficult to judge just how old he was, roughly around his mid thirties at least however one could easily judge wrongly. As he had said these words the two others with the guns had run off and away further into the bank, obviously to perform some other aspects of the plan and taking away Kawn’s need to introduce them.

“We’re going to be taking all the money from this establishment.” He went on to announce, “But I assure you all if you stay quiet and out of the way I shall see to it that none of you will be harmed.”

“You’re insane, this is Domino Town Central Bank!! Even if you manage to get into the vault you‘ll never be able to get away!” A voice yelled out from the other side of the room after Kwan had had his words, they belonged to a weedy looking man wearing a suit who stood amongst a group of crouching customers. From his appearance he seemed to be a high up working official within the establishment, as he wore a nametag upon his chest although you would have had to be quite close to the man in order to read what exactly it said. Kwan turned his attention towards this man, staring back at him with an amused look upon his face.

“He has a gun.” Suk announced unexpectedly, very calmly given what it was he was saying, what was even more odd was that he wasn’t even looking in the direction of the man in the suit at the time. Acting instantaneously to his assumption Kwan brushed his long jacket to the side and swiftly drew a revolver from a holster attached to his belt in a style that would impress even a master of quick draw, pointing it at the bank staff worker in a split second. However before Kwan could pull the trigger the man dropped to his knees in fear, his tone a different one as he began to cry for his life.

“No don’t shoot!! I’m sorry!! Here take it!!” He sobbed, reaching into his jacket in the process and throwing a pistol across the room where it slid towards Kwan’s boot. Kwan stepped on it in order to stop it from moving though he did not pick it up, he held the revolver in the air still, pointing it towards the man however he did not pull the trigger, although the stern look upon his face gave it away that he was definitely considering it. He did not however, and instead placed the revolver back into its holster, his expression changing to a smile once again.

“Clever move.” He congratulated.



---This part is important to Istan--

Meanwhile in the office section of the bank, an area of bordered off cubicles designed for bank clerks to have one to one conversations with customers, one of the two men was looking around, checking the area for one reason or another. Every now and again he’d come across one or two people hiding underneath a desk and would harshly and hastily force them into the main chamber with everyone else. It wasn’t until he came across one of the offices he saw something quite out of the ordinary. One of the customers was just sitting in his chair reading a book as if nothing had ever happened. The bank robber himself was quite well built and was currently holding a USAS-12 shotgun and so was clearly hard enough to put up with anything that normally stood in his way, however this was Meta Human terrain and so something as odd as this needed to be treated carefully. He pulled the trigger and with a deafening crack blasted the computer next to the kid to pieces before aiming it at his head.

“Get the fuck out of that chair and sit with the others!” He ordered loudly, “You can keep your fucking book.”

"I was merely finishing my page." Mikhail said simply without even looking up at the robber. He did indeed finish his page as he spoke and calmly closed the book after keeping track of the page number. He set it down on the desk where the computer had been. Finally he looked up at the bank robber holding a shotgun to his face.

"Do not point that gun at me." Mikhail demanded, his apathetic expression holding true and the his tone of voice not wavering from what it was prior. Mikhail tilted his head to the side slightly and immediately started to set up gravitational fields. 1-01 2-01 3-01 4-01 5-01... His code system ran threw his head to manipulate them properly. He created a gravity field to the left of the gun from Mikhail's point of view as well as one to the right on the gun to push it towards the left(and the other gravity field) and finally several more supporting fields to that nothing would travel where it should not. All in all the intent of the gravitational fields he set up was to pull the gun to the side and away from Mikhail's face.

"After all it makes it harder to stand up having a barrel in my face." He said simply. Mikhail started to set up additional gravitational fields. A few to push forward on the brute and several to pull on him from behind and a couple to press down on him from above. This time the gravitational fields were set up in a method to push and pull the robber on his back and to the ground. Mikhail was pretty certain he devised the fields correctly to overcome any physical resistance against the varied combined gravitational pulls that a large normal human could achieve. At least in theory.

Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
[ *  *  * ]
Raiya was in the bank's bathroom when she heard the shots go off. She'd come to open a new account, because she'd decided it was time to find her own bank rather than use the one her mother and step-father used. The Domino Town Central Bank seemed like a good choice. She could walk in with her following of anything between one and ten animals without anyone staring at her, and keeping her money there would in a small way show support for the meta town. And her step-father would rather walk through a mine field than come here.

She was just washing her hands when the gun shots rang out. Her constant companion, Taipar, jumped to her feet and started growling. The large wolf looking dog knew better than to bark in such situations. Nodding to her, Raiya quickly dried her hands and moved to the bathroom's door. More shots sounded, telling her that the bank robbers, because that what the people had to be, most likely had at least one automatic. She shook her head. Why did people do that? As if a normal gun wasn't bad enough, they had to bring one that could turn a person into mince meat.

Easing the door open a crack, she glanced outside. The bathroom she was in was at the end of the office section, at the other end of the bank to the front doors. If she was lucky, she robbers would still be at the front of the bank.

Just then she saw one of them, going from office to office. Okay, so there's more than one. He wouldn't have come back here if he was alone. She kept a close eye on him. When he paused in an office for a long time and she heard muffled talking, she took her chance to slip out. She started toward the office he'd gone into, the carpet on the floor muffling the sound ofher footsteps. If she was unlucky enough for him to come out again before she could reach him, she was fairly sure she'd be safe from being shot. After all, who would shoot a pregnant young woman. And once he was close, she'd use her martial arts to disarm and disable him.

Call me cute again...

OOC: Sorry for keeping you waiting University took me by the neck plus I was being Emo yesterday

IC:

I decide to change to stop trying the hero antics, I stop painting my hair pink, I stop searching for my brother, I left my past in where it belong so why the fuck this happens to me. Joanne luck has never been the best but she’s just a bit of a pessimist so that’s why it makes this situation look even grimmer than it is.

What to do what to do, another voice in Jo's head spoke Not being stupid is a good start, Not now Leo she said in her mind whit grimace. Well you always end up being stupid in this kind of situation Ok I won’t be stupid continued the beaten Jo Time to get to work.

Jo started to look at her hosts to see if there was any opportunity for her to try anything, is being nervous normal at this kind of situation? The second voice laught How would I know girl I’m in your head and fictional Your such a big help thanks Jo slowly drop to her knees since everyone else was doing the same and she was not going to defy them until she knew there is at less some hope to back up her actions.

“I’m sorry where are my manners.” The man spoke again, “I am Gim Kwan, this is my associate Tokko Suk”

Ok there organized this is a realy tight spot, Joanne started to scowl as things continue to develop, There more organized than your everyday petty thief and that is never good.

“We’re going to be taking all the money from this establishment.”

I doubt your going to be that lucky pig Inside her mind Joanne still had all her valor, but out side she was shaking, “But I assure you all if you stay quiet and out of the way I shall see to it that none of you will be harmed.” Why do I feel this is an empty promise If you would stop reading those books you would trust them more.

A Hero emerges, the man whit the gun may be the kind of signal that she was expecting. “You’re insane, this is Domino Town Central Bank!! Even if you manage to get into the vault you‘ll never be able to get away!” Before even Jo was able to react the situation had been defused, dam I think there all Metas, “No don’t shoot!! I’m sorry!! Here take it!!” and that guy is not a man nor a hero he’s just a sissy.

Joanne concentrated every drop of valor and slowly stood up whit elegance “Sir” she used the seductive tone she had learn from her sister many years ago “It’s quite unjust that you only have boys in your group” in the mouth of another woman it would sound like a feminist comment, but Jo had worked whit her tone so that the hidden message would be clear, it was risky but most men where hormone driven creatures. She gave a lone wink as if it where going help soften the leader.

The bank robber’s instant reaction was to thrash about to prevent from falling over backwards, forcing him to drop the shotgun in the process which landed in the path of the gravitational fields surrounding him. The shotgun was sent flying across the office where it slammed against the far wall, forcing it to go off in the impact and blasting a small hole in the surface. The bank robber went down hard, causing a large slamming sound as his large body weight smashed down into the floor underneath him. What happened next however Mikhail did not probably expect.

“What’s happening I heard gunshots!”

The second bank robber who had been searching around the inner area turned the corner into the office to check up on what he had heard. He had been in such a hurry to check up on the sounds he had heard he had completely missed spotting Raiya on route and was now standing in the doorway, holding a Daewoo K3 machine gun, which despite its size he held while standing upright. The man was shorter and not as well built as the man who was currently pinned to the floor, he also looked a lot more feminine, almost to the point that one may call him a pretty boy. His black hair was long and straight, down to his shoulders making his face seem longer than it actually was. Upon seeing his partner in the position he was in the man raised his machine gun upwards and aimed it directly at Mikhail’s chest, a position and stance which somehow suggested that he had a fair idea of what it was he was doing with the weapon he held.

“Kid I wouldn’t want to fuck with us if you know what’s best for you.” He said firmly, his tone suggesting that it wasn’t beyond his power to simply pull the trigger of the machine gun without a second thought.

-----------------------------

To begin with Kwan seemed to be quite surprised as someone else in the room spoke up, his expression soon changed to amusement and he smiled back at Joanne as she spoke. There was something about his smile however that hinted that he wasn’t exactly being won over in terms of his libido, and rather he was merely amused with the occurrence that someone else in the room was trying their luck with him after their prior demonstration. He glanced over towards Suk for a second, who nodded back at him. After this conformation he began walking over towards Joanne, strangely enough his hands quite far away from his holster. Either he was underestimating the girl, or he knew she posed no threat to him.

“It seems that some girls needs to know when to keep quiet…” He began however was swiftly interrupted by the sound of sirens amongst other sounds outside. An aggravated sneer spread across his face and at that his attention switched away from Joanne and towards the sealed door. He waved his hand up into the air performing some form of hand gesture although only Suk seemed to notice this, causing him to stand up straight for the first time since entering the bank although he soon slouched back down afterwards.

“We’ve spent too long discussing.” Kwan announced, “Suk, prepare the safe. As for you Gi.”

As Suk rushed over to the huge safe door at the end of the chamber, Kwan walked calmly over towards the third member of the gang, who had been in the main chamber the whole time however he had not spoken up as of yet or even moved since entering the bank for that matter. He was now crouching down on the floor, his large puffed out blonde hair covering most of his face. He seemed to be quite young if not the youngest of the entire group, one could almost guess his age as being in his late teens. Kwan crouched down behind him and placed his hands on his shoulders, lowering his mouth downwards to talk to his fellow team mate. This was a much different and nicer manner of treatment compared to how he had previously harshly ordered Suk and the other two bank robbers around, his tone while speaking to this one apparently known as Gi was much softer and he even smiled as if he meant it. Or at least he was making a better effort at smiling while addressing Gi.

“Gi.. Could you please inform us of our current situation?” Kwan asked politely. Gi did not respond immediately, his head was still tilted downwards and his eyes fixed upon the floor. It was not until several seconds later that he did say something, and what he did say would have shocked even the most hard set of people.

“Thirty Seven people inside of the bank, Twenty Two Meta Humans. One Hundred and Eighty Five people outside the bank, Eighty Nine Meta Humans..” He responded calmly, keeping his head down the whole time, “None of whom have attempted entering the bank from any position as of yet.. None of whom pose any threat.”

To this Kwan patted Gi upon the shoulders, grinning from ear to ear upon the good news.

“Clever boy,” He congratulated, “Please make sure to keep me informed as to any changes.”

Raiya was still a few yards away when the robber started to thrash about. She could just see the top half of his head and could tell smething was happening. However was in the office must have had some kind of power. Good. At least she wouldn't be in this on her own.

She continued to cautiously move foward, then froze when the gun went off. Her stomach went cold and pitched down. Had the robber shot whoever it was in the office? Her whole body tensed in preparation to rush him, when he suddenly came down hard. The pent up air in her lungs rushed out. Okay, hopefully that meant the person in the office wasn't too badly hurt, if they had been shot.

“What’s happening I heard gunshots!”

Her head jerked up at the sound of the second voice and she dropped int a fighting stanse. Then she just blinked in surprise when a second man just went into the office without even glancing her way. She straightened slowly, unsure if she should be insulted by that. Either way, that increased the number of possible bad guys to at least four, because it was unlikely the bank robbers would leave only one person to guard everyone in the front of the bank.

Moving forward again, she finally reached the office door. The second man stood with a large machine gun pointed at a teenaged boy. Moving quickly, she struck the heel of her hand into his wrist. She wasn't trying to break his wrist, meerly move the gun's barrel away from the boy. She then slammed her other fist into the back of his neck, positioning the strike so that it should knock him out. There was chance it wouldn't, but it was her best bet for disabling his without anyone getting hurt.

Yes, that's 18 with a Vizard mask.
[ * ]
Sapphire hues flickered a more crimson shade as a flash of fire from the distance was hastily extinguished. Well trained eyes watched as her brain calculated various situations that a certain redhead's father had trained into her skull. Like her much shorter counterpart, Gemini Shiro was attired in the outfit of her school, and had suggested to tag along with her in order to bask in the glory that would be the girl's first paycheck. Of course, the elder woman was simply holding a promise to the girl's father; to watch over her and protect her while she grew into the world of a Meta-human. It was far darker and more mysterious than the news would ever let anyone on to believe. No matter how much they tainted the more biologically advanced races, there were still secrets unknown to them, unknown to many. Though she may not have been informed of such information, as a former occupant of a secret military base, Gemini knew for certain that there was such information in existence. She did not find it surprising that the guards of the bank were Meta-humans; it made perfect sense. She also did not find it surprising that those attempting to rob the bank were Meta-humans as well. What she did find surprising, however, was the tackiness of their supposed robbery. When it came to robbing a bank, time was always of the essence. Right away, she could sense arrogance, a wave of over confidence, as well as a high ego. This man was far too confident to be wasting his time; obviously, they either had a damn good plan on getting out of this place, or they were just stupid amateurs with guns and powers.

Their attire certainly matched; wingtips though, she just had to arch a brow toward. Where they in the sixties? Obviously, their choice in attire did not reflect their plans, or have any sort of connection to them. The woman pinched the bridge of her nose a bit and closed her eyes as Shiro's persona allowed a more frustrated expression to wave over. Soon enough, Gemini was asleep and Shiro took control. When it came to situations like this, Gemini would wisely hand control over to her more aggressive counterpart; she had the fighting experience, as well as abilities, while she herself only had her healing touch. A rather calm hand touched the shaking shoulder of Kira Rounin, who seemed to have already crouched down to the floor with her hands on her head.

"Don't worry, kid," the elder girl spoke with a tone of confidence that seemed to mirror that of the pack's leader. "Ne-san's here for ya."

They were basically that; sisters. Though Kira didn't know the exact connection Gemini and Shiro had to her and her parents... hell, even her grandparents, their first encounter had basically deemed them best friends, and ironically enough, roommates. Gemini would have to thank the crimson haired girl's father for that particular set up.

Even as thoughts trailed in her mind, calculations were still being determined. The way they moved, the way their leader moved; his expressions, the way he displayed himself; they would all be keys to deciphering what they were after and exactly how they would obtain it. Sure, one could say they were after the money. No, that would be far too easy to calculate, of course, it was an obvious choice. Still, it wasn't the fact of what they were after, it was the way they were going to take it. Their means of transportation, means of escape; the path that their plan set out, that was what the young woman was attempting to decipher. It could all be determined by a sense of reading their movements, their body language, so on and so forth. Of course, her eyes trailed from the leader, while crouched next to Kira and attempting to keep the poor girl calm, toward another woman in the room, who seemed to speak up rather confidently with an aura of confidence... and in Shiro's opinion, stupidity.

"Sir, it’s quite unjust that you only have boys in your group”

'Idiot,' Shiro spat to herself, though she quickly corrected herself as the leader came into better view. She had to arch her head a bit, since the man had been blocked by a pillar. Now, when the man came over to the girl who had stood up, she could see him far more clearly. 'Okay, so she's not an idiot... but I hardly doubt she did that intentionally for my benefit.'

In her opinion, placing a spotlight upon yourself was always stupid. Thus, she had depicted the woman who stood up and blabbed out her opinion of the man's choice in teammates stupid. If she had wanted to do something, then she should have been smart and remained quiet. Shiro, of course, was doing just that. Still, she knew sitting there, waiting, and evaluating the situation would get her nowhere. Of course, she also needed to protect Kira; that came before anyone or anything else.

Sirens came to sound next, and though relieved sighs seemed to surround her, Shiro knew that it would only make matters worse. Well, not in a bad way... well, actually, yes, in quite a bad way. The robbers would become more anxious, as their means of escape meant that they would now be limited. Still, anyone who would rob from a bank of Meta-humans obviously had a decent means of escape. Possibly, an ability of one of the robbers. Teleportation? Time-manipulation? The sapphire hair with strands of crimson were tucked behind her ear; names were tallied, along with some abilities that she had seen thus far. Obviously, she could only assume that the robbers were all Metas. If they were smart, each would have an ability that would be required of the job at hand. They had a speedster... the confident man, his powers were still unknown, but there was obviously a reason to his cockiness, one that probably mirrored his ability.

The man motioned his hands, and again, Shiro studied his movements, her eyes locked upon his body, drilling holes if she could, with the glare she had currently expressed upon her soft features. He muttered something out, which alerted one of his teammates. What drove Shiro to more curiosity was the other member the man in charge walked up to; a blond kid, pretty young, actually. Her eyes squinted, and her ears stretched, though she couldn't hear too well. Information; that had to be it. Some sort of information was being delivered between the two... perhaps the blond was some sort of meta-human sensor. Could he detect powers? One reason why Shiro was glad she hadn't allowed her heart to beat any faster than it currently was. In fact, it was far calmer than most of those in attendance. When the leader stood up with a grin, it confirmed her suspicions. They were done talking, and with the satisfaction the man held, it was obvious the blond kid had informed him of something that was quite pleasing to hear.

The shaking she felt from the child cuddled within her arms had adjusted her focus downward. For now, Shiro knew she couldn't do much; the group was spread out enough for her to be able to perhaps take one out, but would only be inviting for the others to tear her Meta-human body apart with bullets. For the countless time in her newly born life, Shiro found herself cursing the Goddesses of Fate once again. Did they really see it fitting to make certain the Rounin family did not exist? Her crimson hues fell upon the girl who was wrapped in fear. Shiro held her firmly... of course, her eyes trailed to the wall they were next to. One of the side pillars that held up the structure of the bank's support beam was rather close to them. Shiro's eyes followed the pillar to the support beam, then up toward the ceiling. The woman then looked back down to Kira, uncertain if the idea that started to develop in her mind would actually work. Kira was frightened, very frightened. She was uncertain if the girl would even be able to move, let alone, activate her powers. Still, Shiro couldn't watch over Kira and try to protect everyone else from getting killed at the same time.

"Kira," Shiro whispered quietly as her nose buried into the girl's red strands. "There's a pillar to your left that goes all the way up to the ceiling's support beams."


Kira blinked her eyes as the sudden weight of the situation seemed to lift. Even with Gemini's words prior, she still had seemed to have been in a state of shock. When her older roommate's steady hand had comfortably stroke strands of her hair, and her soft voice reached her ears, it seemed to wake her from her daze. Those palish-purple eyes shifted to her right. Less than a meter away was the wall, and less than half a meter forward, was the support column that ran up the side of the wall. Her eyes followed it, like a pathway, which led up to the ceiling's support beams. There were several ceiling decorations that she noticed, one that was most common in high-class banks. A large chandelier hung from the center, about three meters from two other beams, where the ceiling started to curve into a dome-like shape. She felt a bit of pressure on her shoulder and her eyes turned back into focus.

"Where out of their line of site," she heard her roommate state in a soft, yet firm tone that the crimson haired girl could only recognize as Shiro, Gemini's other half. Though she did not know too much about her new roommate, it was confirmed that she had a slight case of MPS; most Meta-humans that attended AHS also had such a disorder. "There are only two right now that can see us directly if they adjust their vision; the pillar six meters from us that divides part of the bank prevents the others."

Kira wished just then that she could have had just a percentage of the tranquility that seemed to radiate off of Shiro's body. Her eyes glanced about, spotting the leader, a blond kid, and a few more moving just beyond the pillar's view.

"You've been hidden by the line in front of us," Shiro stated firmly. "If you leave, they won't notice."

"But Shir-chan," Kira's eyes met hers; pale-violet meeting crimson.

"No buts, they're bad for you," Shiro interrupted the girl's speech, as she normally did when the crimson haired girl attempted to hold an argument. The buts, of course, were in reference to the urban nickname that cigarettes had been dubbed in the younger generation of smokers. "Look; I can already tell that these guys mean business. Now that the police are here, their only means of escape are to take hostages with them. There ain't no way I'm gonna let them take you, so get your ass moving, or I'll throw you up there myself."

Shiro had judged by perspective value that if Kira started her accent up the wall, the short girl would be hidden by the column structure that met the support beams toward the ceiling. Unless, for some strange reason, they started walking over, Kira would be able to make it up the ceiling in probably thirty-five seconds, if she crawled fast enough. There was a fat businessman in front of her, one who was, by now, crouched over on his knees with his stomach to the floor, and his hands covering the back of his head. Kira's crawl to the wall should be blocked by that line of sight. Shiro's eyes adjusted once more, measuring the distance up and calculating further. Affirmation struck her mind; there shouldn't be any sort of problem.

"Go," Shiro whispered her final word as she forced the girl a bit further to the floor. "Keep a slow and steady crawl up the wall when you adjust your gravity. When you get to the support beam, remain hidden by their line of sight. Wait there until everything's over, alright? Do not, for any reason, leave your spot; got it?"

Though shaky at first, Kira obliged the girl's words. As strange as it sounded, Kira felt more protected by Shiro and Gemini, as she saw them as two different people, than anyone else she had met at the school. Despite only knowing her for the first half of the current semester, she felt more connected to her than anyone. She couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, but there was just... something. The thought, of course, was shaken from her mind during her crawl behind the fat business man. Her crouch raised behind the support collumn, her eyes trailing fearfully toward Shiro. The crimson-streaked, sapphire haired woman's eyes never met her, though remained locked upon the leader. When she received a small gesture of her finger, which was flat against the floor, she took that as a sign to start moving up. With her palms flat, and her body turned, she adjusted her weight to the wall. Her hair lifted up from its current gravitational pull toward the floor to fall against the wall, down and forward now switched with forward and up. Kira's eyes trailed upward and with a muted gulp, she started her accent, hidden behind the column.

Shiro remained locked upon those she could see within visual range. In less than a minute, Kira would be out of sight, and out of mind. Without having to worry about protecting her, Shiro would be able produce a more offensive strategy on how the hell to get out of this mess. Of course, those calculations would only start the moment Kira was out of her own line of sight...

Mikhail was about to form a strategy for defense and offense when some girl he had not noticed came rushing at the second person that day that had pointed a gun at him. They should really quit doing that. Starting to seem bad for people's health. Mikhail immediately re-worked his strategy. He naturally erased his previous fields simply by removing them from present thought and set up a few more. These ones were designed to push the man's wrist and neck towards the woman's assaulting jabs. This would make his fields act like offensive support, limiting the man's ability to move those respective areas and thus increasing the woman's accuracy as well as making the small gravity fields to be like soft walls and would definitively increase the damage her strikes would produce. Mikhail had no way of knowing exactly the extent of what she had wished to cause but he did not care. There was no way of telling how the man would be able to react and if that meant aiding in amplifying the man's potential injuries to insure success, Mikhail would definitely do so and did.

After setting up those gravity fields, noting to only keep them in effect long enough to preform their duties, Mikhail immediately moved to stand up. He was willing to allow the men to do what they pleased but now they involved him too much. He knew it was likely that the man would be able to pull off a shot before receiving his injuries(if he indeed received them.) but that was not a concern for Mikhail. A few bullet wounds were acceptable by his margins.

The bank robber with the machine gun seemed to be awfully surprised upon finding himself attacked from the side, his finger squeezed down upon the trigger automatically due to the reflex action of being struck however by the time the gun had gone off it’s direction was slightly off mark, sending bullets flying mere inches away from Mikhail. The spent ammunition cases spilled across the floor though the sounds of them hitting the ground where drowned out by the roaring noise of the weapon itself as it tore up across the wall and the ceiling. The second punch caused the bank robber to drop his weapon and stumble to the side, his hands reaching upwards to hold onto his neck tightly. He seemed to hobble upon one leg and then fall sideways into the wall beside him, clearly in a great deal of pain over the direct assault he had received. Not knocked out but clearly dazed from the attempt.

“You punched me in the neck!?” He yelled furiously, “Damn it! That hurt! What are you two idiots or something!? We‘re twice your age!”

The man who had previously been pinned down had by this time got back up to his feet however he did nothing to attack the pair, he simply stood upright and brushed himself off. This did however not mean that he was not angry, as the look upon his face clearly displayed a look of hatred, specifically towards the one who had pinned him down previously. The fact that he did not have a gun anymore didn’t really seem to matter at this point, as he was obviously the biggest in the room and seemed to be the type of guy who was too manly to care about appearances, a great contrast to his partner. His chin was covered in unshaven stubble and his hair cut short, he definitely would not be one to mess with under normal circumstances. Although most people weren’t Meta Humans.

“Kwan says he doesn’t want anyone killed and if you come quietly into the main chamber with us and stay there we wont even have to touch any of you.” He explained rather angrily, “But if you two want to play the hero we’ll use everything in our power to stop you.”

Call me cute again...

Joanne was happy that her plan worked, now she just needed him to get close, after that taking his gun away would be a walk in the park, that didn’t stop Jo from being nervous her heart ran at high speeds there was so many things that could go wrong in this plan.

Get closer, don’t stop I need you to get closer, she was nervous but she thought that it was a good thing since if she where too confident he would notice that something is wrong. When Kwan started to speak Jo’s heart went to an abrupt stop his tone was not the kind of a person who had fallen into her trap and what he began saying really got her.

“It seems that some girls needs to know when to keep quiet…” the alarm was a blessing in disguise, Jo relaxed one Kwan’s attention was directed at the door, she started to think of a new plan sitting down would mean that she gave up, but staying at her current position would make her a prime target

What to do?, Hello this is a great moment for you to say something Leo!!!!, exhorted Jo Why should I, I’m you and you know everything I know, snickered the imaginary friend.I whish I could get rid off you,continued the annoyed Jo Grow up then countered Staley Leo

Whit a tone of seriousness and a trickle or anger Give me a plan!!! the ever calm Leo said Easy you need help and pronto Jo’s patience was starting to fail her and where will I get such help, use your brain.

Jo was angry that she called her self stupid but her logic was not flawed it was just weird she preferred to have an imaginary person insult her instead of doing it her self, how can I find help? and there’s only so mush I can do whit my powers.


Jo needed a plan but she was completely blank so she stood there waiting.

Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
[ *  *  * ]
When she made her attack again the robber, she noticed that her strikes were meeting more resistance than normal, as if something was pushing the robber's hands and neck into her strikes. She wondered about that for about two seconds, wondering if the boy was somehow doing that. Either way, if meant that her strikes had more force, which was a good thing.

Her concentration on the task at hand, disabling the robber, that she barely flinched at the gunfire. She was disappointed the robber wasn't knocked out by her punch to his neck, because it would have made things a lot easier, but at least he was at somewhat of a disadvantage now.

“You punched me in the neck!? Damn it! That hurt! What are you two idiots or something!? We‘re twice your age!”

Raiya gave him a bland look. "Just be thankful I didn't punch you in the throat." She ignored the age comment. Age held no sway in fights, unless one of the fighters was really young or really old. She'd taken on plenty of people twice her age.

She glance to the side when the other man got to his feet and shifted so she could face both of them. She doubted the one she'd hit would be making any attacks soon, but she wasn't about to turn her back on him. Even so, this first man definately looked the more dangerous one. “Kwan says he doesn’t want anyone killed and if you come quietly into the main chamber with us and stay there we wont even have to touch any of you. But if you two want to play the hero we’ll use everything in our power to stop you.”

Raiya frowned. "Kwan? Just how many of you are there?" It was a simple ploy, but the simple ones usually work. If she could get some information out of him without him realising, she'd have a better chance of getting a hold on this situation.

"Damn, what took him so long?" a boy exclaimed. Wearing a simple T-Shirt with a blazing emblem on it back, a pair of grey trousers and white and blue sneakers, Leon was enjoying his ice pop, sitting on a bench which is a block behind the Domino City Central Bank. He looked at his watch. It has been like almost half an hour since Haru went there. Whatever business he had there, he didn't give a slight of care. As long as Haru fulfill his promise about treating him to a cafe, he would help Haru to carry whatever he supposed to buy that day.

Suddenly, a police cruiser came passing a few meters in front of Leon, followed by other police vehicles with sirens blazing. And they were heading toward the direction of the Central Bank. "What the hell?" he asked himself, wolfing the rest of his popsicle down. Curious, he followed an alley that leads to the back of the bank...

-----------------------------------------------------

*inside*

"Curses..." Haru muttered under his breath. He was on the floor with hands on his head along with the others. He wished he brought along his kodachi. At least it will make him feel secured, and would be a great help in fighting them down, in case they let their guard down. It was unfortunate enough to have that meddling Leon to tag along with him today. And now this?

For obvious reason, people won't rob a Meta-human bank if they aren't one. So far, the man with electric blue hair was a speedster with a freakin awesome intuition, and the youngest one had some sort of psychic radar installed in him. The other two? They appear to be normal, judging their need of heavy armaments.

The leader however, was a different story. Although he seemed ordinary, Haru had a feeling that the leader was the most dangerous one. if not, he wouldn't have the gut to boldly rob the bank in the broad daylight. Now that their escape option was limited, they wouldn't have other option than to take hostages. If only something could distract the man with the guns, all the twenty-two meta-humans inside the premises would surely ground them into pulp.

Mikhail quickly turned around, swiping his hand over the desk as he did so. his fingers cut a shard of plastic from the computer and held it up for everyone to see. He personally found it humorous to be called a 'hero' as being a hero was not his goal.

"Listen. You think I'm playing hero? No no no," Mikhail waved his finger in the air for emphasis. The urge to form a grin rose in him but he quieted it down, his expression almost unnaturally calm giving the circumstances, "See all I want is to make sure my check cleared. I don't care if you robbed this bank or if people died. So I was going to mind my own business. Now that you have dragged me into this, there is no reason for any of you to live." Mikhail said the last part with such easy indifference some would find it creepy.

With his point stated he let go of the plastic shard, it held in place by several gravitational fields he mentally set up. His hand shook slightly as he appeared to grip the air around the shard. What he was really doing was mentally focusing his gravitational fields to apply pressure on the shard. Then he flattened out his hand and the shard went flying, the pointed end moving straight. It was guided by Mikhail's fields and flew straight for the smaller man's heart at a heightened velocity that should be able to easily shred skin and possibly bone, much akin to a knife. Mikhail had figured that the man was likely disorientated by the previous assault which would naturally reduce any possible reflexes. The logic was sound to him at least.

((ooc: I'm going to add pictures to this so you can understand a little bit more what these characters look like. But GAWD all anime guys are bishonen like. Kwan and Hyun are hard to find. They're all rough ideas not exact pictures. Cept Kwan that one's pretty exact.))

The larger bank robber was just about to answer Raiya’s question, his mouth even opened as he was just about to say something but before he even said a syllable his attention was switched to Mikhail. This fierce action came to a surprise to both the bank robbers, even if they had expected them to try something to hurt them they didn’t expect something so cold and dangerous. The larger man lunged towards the shard as it soared across the room, making a desperate attempt to grab at it however the shard flew easily past his fingers as he was unable to alter it’s course. The smaller man stumbled backwards in shock while reaching into his jacket to produce a handgun in the split second it took for the shard to reach him, acting on his high adrenaline levels given the situation. He fired a single shot at the plastic shard creating a deafening crack as it shattered instantly, which inevitably was the bank robbers downfall as this created a shotgun like effect, sending not one but many smaller sized sections of the same shard flying at him at exactly the same speed as they were travelling before hand. Some missed but others slammed against his body, sending him skidding backwards on his feet and slamming into the wall. He breathed heavily in fear, expecting himself to be dead after such an attack however he was relieved with the knowledge that he was alive, to which he began to laugh softly. His partner however did not share his relief however and stared back at the smaller sized bank robber with a look of horror. The younger bank robber picked up on his partners look and stared down at his chest, his expression switching slowly from relief to fear and at that his laugh changed to a panicked hastened breathing. Protruding from his chest were several small pieces of plastic, none of them large enough to cause significant damage, however there was a single larger section of the computer that stuck out of the right side of his body, from it’s large size and yet sturdy position it seemed to be quite deep.

“Pull it out!! Pull it out!!” The younger bank robber yelled in shock, blood beginning to trickle down from his mouth as he spoke, “Pull it out Hyun Pull it out!!! Pull it out!! Pull it out!! PULL IT OUT!!!”

Immediately after bellowing these last words as loud as he could muster something particularly strange happened, the younger bank robbers shoulder length black hair grew, incredibly rapidly at that. It fanned outwards in all directions, blocking the exit with thick layers of itself and heading towards both Mikhail and Raiya. In Raiya’s case it seemed to spread across the floor and walls around her, attempting to wrap around her legs and arms to bind her into place. In Mikhail’s case it moved towards him at rapid speed, thick layers of hair forming into a single large pointed spike. The older bank robber needed to dive out of the way for it to avoid hitting him, his leather jacket fanned to the side as he moved which was hit directly by the spike of hair though it merely tore through it as if it were tissue paper. It appeared that the younger man was in fact a Meta Human, his unique power now quite painfully in the light for all to witness.

---------------------

((ooc: Just to say, I am so glad someone decided to roleplay outside the building. This is all written for your character to witness if you so choose to do so.))

Meanwhile outside things were definitely heating up around the immediate vicinity of the bank, the police had formed a barrier on both sides of the road blocking off all access although this didn’t stop a huge crowd of onlookers from forming outside the police guarded barriers. Police cars and vans laid scattered inside of the barrier with a large quantity of police officers all rushing about doing whatever it was that they were doing. A single vehicle however seemed to be the most important as it had a tent attached to its side to shield a grand array of technical equipment. It was also where a single man stood who looked clearly different to the rest, he wore a full SWAT uniform excluding the helmet, which was decorated with many stripes and stars, signifying his importance above those around him. He appeared to be waiting for something as he merely stared angrily at the bank in front of him, not paying attention to those rushing around him as they set equipment and got into a tactical position.

Soon the detachable plastic barriers were split at a single section by several police officers and a car drove through. This was not a police car, it was a black sedan. The car pulled up next to the police van and the driver opened the door, an old grey haired gentleman wearing a rather expensive looking three piece suit. He walked calmly around the vehicle and stopped in front of the back door, opening it calmly and allowing a second figure to step out. This man was in his twenties, his hair a dyed white and his chin an unshaved stubble of black. He wore a black suit with a crimson red shirt, giving away the opinion that he was both well off and knew very well how to dress.

“Glad you could make it Thomas.” The SWAT officer spoke without even looking towards the man who had just stepped out of the black sedan, “Do you know the situation?”

“I studied it on the journey here.” The man known as Thomas replied, he was American although he spoke in a very well mannered accent making him mistakable for an Englishman if one was not listening carefully, “Is there a phone situated inside the building?”

“Afraid not.” The SWAT officer replied, “Dead signal. Must have shot out the junction box.”

Thomas didn’t seem too pleased about this, he dropped his head downwards and slightly to the side, his face expressing deep thought of the current situation before him.

“This could be bad.” He said in a worried tone, “They obviously know what they’re doing otherwise they wouldn’t have even attempted the robbery, no petty criminal would even think of robbing such a well secured bank. If they know what they’re doing then there’s an eighty percent chance they knew where the junction box was and they chose to destroy it, meaning they are choosing not to talk to us.”

“What’s your decision?” The SWAT officer asked quickly after Thomas’ statement, obviously not being one for wasting time. Thomas however was not as quick to reply, he crossed his arms and thought hard about his options, taking a good half a minute before replying with an answer. He raised a hand to point upwards at a CCTV camera positioned on a building on the other side of the road, to which the man in the SWAT uniform finally turned around to look at.

“We get the footage from that security camera to find every person inside the building then cross check it with purchases of cell phones in the area.” He said confidently, “If I’m right we should get the phone number of a civilian within the building in approximately two to three hours.”

“Damn it Thomas we don’t have two to three hours!!” The SWAT officer yelled angrily in response to the plan laid out before him, “We need the number to an inside line now!!”

--------

Suk seemed to be doing something with a pair of pliers and a wire cutter to a junction box behind a false panel next to the bank, whatever it was he was doing it was all very quick, meaning he would have had to been practising this extensively before hand. This was much to the delight of Kwan, who stood up from behind Gi and began pacing back and forth across the room, a sinister smile upon his face. His attention turned back towards the girl that had spoke to him previously, Joanne. The man began walking back towards her in the same fashion as he had done earlier, his steps almost to the rhythm of an old song within his head.

“Where were we?” He said to himself, obviously a question that didn’t need to be answered, “Oh yes, you were asking me why it was I had no female members in my gang.”

Kwan leant forwards over Joanne, his face now inches away from her own, his eyes gazing directly into hers. There was something eerily strange about his gaze, his eyes never seemed to stay the same colour, or maybe they were always the same colour however they were so brilliant that one would forget what that colour was immediately upon seeing them. Maybe the knowledge of what such wonderful eyes looked like was not meant for those who looked upon them, or maybe a single colour wasn’t enough to describe their beauty.

“Why?” He asked curiously, out of amusement, “Where you wondering if you could join us?”

((ooc: Yeah Kwan’s eyes are fucked. Anyone looking at them immediately forgets how what they look like but remembers that they’re more beautiful than anything they’ve ever seen before and want to look at them again, but see something different every time, leading to even more curiosity than before. Literally becoming lost in his eyes. Which is part of his Meta Power.))

[ *  *  * ]
Raiya's stomach clenched when the teenaged boy turned creepy. Great. This is all I need. When she saw him holding the sharp piece of plastic, she took a step toward him. "Don't..." Too late. He threw it at the smaller robber and she wasn't close enough to knock it off course. Curses weld up in her throat as the shard's target drew a handgun and shot at it. Had the shard been moving by normal forces, it might have worked, but with it being propelled by theboy's power, to simply meant that he had to face a number of fragments instead of one.

She winced when the fragments hit, and started forward. These people might have been trying to rob the bank and had gotten innocent people caught up in it, but she couldn't just leave the robber wounded, not with all the stuff her mother had pounded into her brain about saving people no matter who they were.

She was halfway across the room when the wounded robber's hair started growing wildly. Taipar, who had been waiting at the doorway, barked at having her way to her mistress blocked and started bitting and tearing at the hair in her way. Raiya dodged the tendrils heading for her and summoned her energy whip to keep them back.

Using her whip, the cleared herself a path to the younger robber. Reaching out with her free hand, she slapped him across the face. The slap wasn't because she disliked him, it was to bring him back to his senses. "Stop this! I can help you, but not if I'm not free to move. I've had some medical training." She dodge to the side when another tendril tried to wrap around her legs and hit it away with her whip.

Mikhail attempted to set up a series of gravity fields to slow the speed of the hair. Unfortunately either due to the strength of the bank robber's meta-power or the complex concentration required was making Mikhail unfocused or maybe both, the attempt did not seem successful. He tried to make a last attempt to move sideways but the hair pierced his shoulder and tore through. Mikhail knelt down or rather dropped down to his knee. He seemed lucky that hadn't pierced in anyway that would have pinned him, though for others the damage would have seemed worse then it it did. However due to his second ability, the bone and flesh rapidly started to restore themselves, replacing the missing parts. His shoulder skin held a pinker hue from the new skin. Using this power drew upon his energy and nutrients but it would be fine, he knew he could heal a few more times if needed. He took the brief moment to clear his mind, relieving the mental strain from his gravity fields, ready to use them again if need be. Maybe they will have learned now. If not Ill make sure he dies and ill kill the other one as well

"You know, if you live you could decide to help me instead of getting killed by me. But that will be your choice." Mikhail said plainly like before to the younger robber and then turned his gaze to the larger man. "This applies to you too. Is robbing this place worth your life? If no then you should gain some sense and help stop this. Before I kill you and anyone else I decide to today." Mikhail stood upright and straight. He was serious about his threat though he personally doubted he would have any reason to murder anyone besides the bank robbers, although it would still count as "self-defense" in the robbers case.

Jo keep trying to come up whit a plan but it’s never easy to come up whit one when things get bleak. Kwan started walking toward Jo again, she felt as her heart speed up again.

“Where were we?” relax, I need to relax this guy life is in my hands. Jo tried to convince herself but it was not an easy task.

“Oh yes, you were asking me why it was I had no female members in my gang.”

Jo felt her mouth go dry, she started to slowly tap her fingers against her leg trying to let the tension go away.

Once Kwan leant forward Jo, she was mesmerized by his eyes, her mind slowly trail off, “Why?” “Where you wondering if you could join us?”

Jo didn’t think and allowed the words to escape her mind whit out assessing them first “ Yes, The name is Aria Haruko I… I’m I’m a one of the best girl in town” she notice what she had done right after she did it, should I attack or should I wait for his answer and what the hell happen to me there

"What the hell!?" Leon cursed as he came to a dead end. In front of him was a field of unidentified energy, mostly made of something that looks like a gross cross of jelly and cattle waste products. And the thing envelope almost the whole alley that leads to the back of the back. Must be some kind of failed experiment, Leon thought. Anyway, there's no way he's going to walk through that filthy thing. Guess he had to it the normal people kind of way.

-------------------------------------------

*Outside the bank*

"What a crowd! What had happened?" he said, amazed by the crowd. "Didn't ya know? Some blokes 'ere stupid enuff to rob th' bank," a rowdy man replied, hearing his question. "Seriously? That's unexpectedly stupid. Who would want to rob a bank in a city of meta-humans?" he asked himself. The rowdy man was gone, disappeared into the crowd. He looked around. Obviously, most of the crowd is meta-humans. I mean, this is a meta-human city, right?

Leon tried to go through the crowd, to get the best view of the situation. No matter how many times he tried, he always gets pushed back. The situation seems severe. There should be more than a dozen of robbers inside of carry out such brave feat. And the meta-humans around seems a little uncomfortable with the current situation. Only time will tell when some wannabe Samaritans tried to act hero and end up blowing the bank sky high.

He digs into his pocked, and took out a worn-out bronze Docomo. He searched for Haru's number, and pressed the dial button.

_____________________________________________

'inside'

Stupid girl.

The girl who talked nonsense seemed to be hypnotized by the leader of the robber. Looks like things aren't going to be pretty for her after this. Haru looked around, analyzing the situation. It seemed that the other two man with heavy weaponry are somewhere, leaving two... three of the robbers. Armed with revolvers and meta-powers, it'll take a very careful planning to disable them. If only someone would create a distraction...

~Hitori de wa, tooi ashita w-~

A ringtone filled the otherwise silent chamber, creating an awkward atmosphere. Surprised, Haru looked around, only to find out that it was his phone that was ringing.

"Shit..." he muttered under his breath.

Kwan’s natural smirk turned quite swiftly into a proud grin once he had heard Jo’s response to his so perfectly spoken words, he leaned gracefully backwards away from the girl and closed his eyes peacefully. He reached into his jacket pocket and bought out a small pair of rounded red tinted sunglasses, which he placed onto his face resting just above his nose. Swiftly his eyes flickered open once again revealing their beauty one final time before being covered completely by the glasses, which he pushed upwards almost teasingly to conceal his eyes from view. His finger remained upon the glasses bridge, now he simply stared downwards at Jo, his expression changed to that of a sinister smile. What was most strange was that there was definitely something different about his eyes just before he covered them from view, they seemed to glow with an eerie green light that seemed to eradiate from within his skull. The light however did not act quite like one would expect however, it flowed like an airborne gas, shimmering in the light. What was more when he pushed his glasses upwards the light did not become blocked and merely disappear, it seemed to retract inwards behind his sunglasses and away from view.

“You want to go find out why my other two friends are taking so long.” He said finally, “Don’t you?”

The phone’s ring tone was indeed a surprise to those within the chamber, even Gi, who had until now constantly kept his head downwards to the floor raised his head upwards ever so slightly at the sound of the ring tone. Most people in the bank must have owned a cell phone, however most had switched theirs off or had not been called in case the bank robbers directed their attention towards them, it was only a matter of time until someone was contacted however. What was strange about the sound of the phone ringing however was that it didn’t sound as if it were muffled by someone’s clothing, it was loud and clear. This was because it was not inside Haru’s pocket at all.

Behind Haru, Suk was crouching a few inches away from him, holding the phone up in the air while staring at it with peculiar curiosity. This, to those with a keen sense of perception, must have been incredibly suspicious. As it would have made sense that Suk would have taken Haru’s phone from him upon hearing it ring, the fact that the ring tone sounded so clear to begin with must have meant that Suk had been holding the phone, before it had even begun ringing.

“Well don’t be rude” Kwan sighed, “Let the man answer it.”

To this Suk seemed to grumble a little although he still obliged by placing it back into Haru’s lap. Oddly enough his expression and reaction seemed to hint that he was more upset that he had to let go of the phone rather than anything else.

----------

The younger bank robber did not seemed to be easily consoled, his head jerked sideways in regards to the slap Raiya had delivered to him however his hair did not stop growing. Unluckily for her, now that she was so close to the bank robber the hair that had worked it’s way up around her arms and legs could very easily work it’s way completely around her body. His hair was literally trying to envelop her entirely within it’s coils. What was more terrifying was that his each strand of his hair felt as if it had the strength of high tension steal wire, but with the grace and control of water. The bank robber was panting rapidly, his eyes glazed over in a frantic rage. It was unclear if this was due to the Meta Power he was using, or that he was going into shock due to the shard of plastic sticking out of his chest. Whatever the case, the slap seemed to distract his attention away from Mikhail, the spike of his hair that had previously pierced through the boy’s shoulder had made a good distance into the concrete wall and was now slowly falling limp. Unfortunately this meant that all of his attention was directed solely onto confining Raiya.

“Is this place worth my life?” The older bank robber known as Hyun replied angrily to Mikhail’s prior statement, his gaze shifting swiftly from his younger colleagues plight towards the younger child who had dared say such damning words. He seemed furious, his teeth bit down hard and his eyes filled with rage. Was it rage though? His breathing, the look in his eyes. He definitely had an ounce of fear within him however it was not for the boy Mikhail.

“Of course this place isn’t worth my life!” He yelled furiously, “But Kwan! You don’t know what he’d do to me if I backed out! You don’t know what he’s capable of! I’d rather die than have to face up to him!”

As the man spoke something was happening around him, pieces of the hair that had made it’s way as far as Mikhail and Hyun was slowly breaking apart and drifting upwards into the air where it burnt away into charred ash. This went unnoticeable at first, barely a few flickers lighting up around him from time to time however by the end of his speech it was very much noticeable. What was more this effect had moved on from pieces of the younger bank robbers hair to clumps and even larger objects such as the broken shards of the computer. The ash that was produced remained glowing hot in the air where it was drawn to Hyun’s right arm, burning away his jacket which too joined the red hot glowing ash that surrounded him. Was the air around him heating up causing items around him to burn up? Not at all, in fact the only heat in the room came from the items that were being burnt so what was causing them to burn? And why were they being drawn to Hyun’s body?

“I tried to get you to stop, but you want a fight so a fight is what you’ll get!” He roared furiously, his teeth now biting down against one another so tightly that blood began to drip out from beneath his lips. Suddenly the reason as to why he was doing this became painfully obvious, Hyun didn’t seem to be protected the charred embers that were building up around him. After his jacket had burnt away the flesh of his arm soon followed causing him tremendous amounts of agony as his skin was slowly layered away from his arm leaving red gore in its absence. Soon objects such as the table and chair itself broke into fragments which soon burnt away to join the glowing hot barrier that coated the man‘s arm. The sound of the process was quite deafening, like a roaring fire amongst a howling wind that surrounded the entire room.

“Let‘s see what you can really do!” Hyun growled ferociously as finally the muscle of his entire arm burnt away. The glowing embers wrapped completely around his arm right up to his shoulder, which he brought backwards behind him before darting forwards towards Mikhail with a tremendous burst of speed. As he forced his arm forwards the glowing embers around his arm seemed to solidify rapidly however his arm was moving so fast that it could no longer be seen at all. His fist slammed directly into the wall behind Mikhail, whether Mikhail was in his fists path however was left unknown as the effect of his sudden movement was so devastating that all that would be noticed in it’s wake was the sheer destructive force it caused. The glowing embers fanned outwards in the direction his arm was moving, eventually blasting upwards as his fist slammed into the wall. The wall itself split apart with a tremendous crack, it seemed to literally crumble away in the form of a giant sphere forced into the solid surface. The cracks from the point of impact spread up across the ceiling and straight across the floor in a wild array of directions, leaving the entire side of the room just completely ruined. What was interesting however was that the wall didn’t cave in, nor did the ceiling collapse, obviously the building was built remarkably well.

The glowing embers drifted downwards to the floor where they faded and disappeared from sight as all that remained of the remarkable transformation was the finished result. Hyun’s entire arm was completely changed, bone seemed to be fused with metal and charred rock, forming a fearsome looking appendage that could only be described as the arm of a demon. It’s colour was charred black and crimson red, the colours of death. This man’s Meta Power had been held back and controlled until now, however now unleashed it seemed as if he were most certainly not someone to take lightly.

When Mikhail noticed the odd behavior of Hyun he immediately started to move to his left. He knew it was imperative to move in case the unexpected happened. Which it certainly clearly did. It seemed to be nearly luck that the boy moved out of harms way, Hyun's speed clearly wouldnt allow for much directional changing, it only required a small repositioning to cleanly and efficiently avoid the lunge. Mikhail immediately looked around to see if there was anything he could use. His best bets where the rubble from the wall as many other things were destroyed or covered by hair.

That would not be too viable. Ill have to resort to direct use of my power. But itd be uncertain if id have the time to apply the right fields and forces into crushing anything vital. My second option is too get a hold of him and accelerate his cellular reproduction, leaving him drained of energy and nutrients or messing with his organs by making certain ones grow too large. That too would be iffy. Well there's always killing the hair guy. Then that chick could help me. That would be safer. Mikhail ran forward to Raiya and the 'hair man'. He thrust out his hand and created some gravitational fields. He was targeting the lodged shards in the younger robber. All he merely aimed for was to increase the pressure, to drive the shards in deep enough to finally kill the man and end his meta-power use. At least that was part of Mikhail's plan, he still needed to figure out a way to remove the threat of Hyun.

Raiya didn't even bother to glance at the boy as he gave the robbers the option of helping him. Of all the conceited, male things to say. Before I kill you and anyone else I decide to today. Man. The older robber did have a response, but Raiya happened to have other things to concentrate on at that moment. This close to the younger robber, it was getting much more difficult to keep the strands of hair from catching. And to add to that, her arm was starting to tire from having to move her whip so quickly and so much. She really should have put more practice into using it.

Out the corner of her eye, she could see ash floating through the air and the older robber's strange behaviour. Then suddenly, he shot toward the teenages boy. From the very loud crack that followed, she could only guess that he'd hit the wall behing her. She risked a glance to see what had happened. The wall was gone and one of the robber's arms looked wrong.

She frowned and felt something coiling around her waist. "Oh shit." Her feet left the ground as she was lifted into the air. She tried to pry the hair off, but all that got her was bruised fingers. Seeing other coils of hair coming her way, she withdrew her whip back inside hersef and lifted both hands out in front. Threads of energy shot out of both wrists. A foot in front of her, they merged and spread, forming a glowing crystaline shield. This would give her a chance to think of a way out of this situation, keeping some space between her front and the coils of hair trying to wrap around her.

Yes, that's 18 with a Vizard mask.

As she kept her focus upon the fat man cowering in front of her, using him mostly as both a viewing shield and... well, quite frankly, a big fat shield in case anyone decided to start drilling holes, Shiro kept her eyes focused upon the man that seemed in charge. Still, through her side vision, she was able to track the trail Kira had initiated up the side of the column and toward the ceiling. And just as she seemed to be out of sight, the crimson-sapphire streaked woman let out a sigh of relief. Good; they hadn't noticed. And frankly, Shiro was also quite glad none of the bank occupants had seemed to take notice either... either that, or they were keeping quiet about it, assuming that the girl would go all heroics on the place; fat chance. Shiro had felt the fear that radiated off the poor girl the moment her hand had touched her shoulder. No, Kira was far too young, far to inexperienced to pull something like that off. She was too innocent, too naive. The girl should never face such dangers as this. Ever since Shiro had come to the school to secretly watch over the girl, it was as though the Goddess' of Fate were working the magic of karma upon the poor girl. She was more accident prone than anyone she had ever watched over, and despite all that, she was still so optimistic. No... someone like that, a personality like that deserved far more than what fate was dealing her.

Just then, a cell phone rang. Sure, there were mild hushed talking, and the leader himself speaking proudly over the fact that he was able to wave a gun inside of a bank; whoopty fawking do. If Shiro had her original powers, that guy would have been toast already; hell, he probably wouldn't have even woken up this morning. Of course, such harsh actions had driven her to the very life she currently lived, and quite frankly, she herself was surprised that fate had allowed her to live as long as she had. Still, she'd be damned if she didn't live at least another fifty or so years; she had a lot of shit to do in her life!

As the attention was suddenly drawn to the phone ringing, of course, the leader himself arched an obvious interest. Shiro quickly shook her head; sitting here, evaluating the situation was getting her nowhere, and quite frankly, she wouldn't be surprised if she were the only one doing so. Others were most likely waiting... or rather, itching for the chance for an opening to be revealed. Obviously, someone needed to make a move. Of course, that first initial move meant someone would either be taking a bullet or... well, they'd probably be taking a bullet. Either w-

Shiro hadn't even finished her thought process when her eyes went wide. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw movement on the ceiling.

'Stupid girl,' Shiro nearly growled. 'What the HELL is she thinking!?'



Those pale-violet hues peaked over one of the openings in the support beam that stretched across the ceiling. Despite Shiro's orders, Kira simply couldn't stand to be the only one out of harms way. Right now, she had managed to follow the beam, moving back and forth between a small section of the ceiling where several chandeliers hung, and back to the small arch in the beam where she hid. Of course, he was a few meters back and to the left, but from her position, Kira could see just about everything while still being hidden in that small pocket.

She didn't have so much of a plan as she did ... well, she wasn't sure what to call it. She had attempted to point out her plan to Shiro below, who only relayed a scowling expression in return. Still, Kira had played it out several times in her head, and quite frankly, she couldn't see much of a flaw. Unless, of course, she was shot down in the process. Still, it worked in the movies, didn't it? She had taken out every other screw, leaving just a simple matter of knocking out the middle support; the weight, of course, mostly being held in the middle. Three screws were in her hand currently, the other three loosely undone. She was quite lucky she had that quarter on her, as well as the fact that the screws were put in with a flat-ended screw driver. As the phone rang, she moved out again, this time, to loosen the last three. She wasn't sure just how much it would take to knock it down, but it probably would provide a good distraction...



'Idiot, idiot, idiot!' Shiro repeated in several different languages in her head. Outside, her body remained still as stone, but inside, she feared greatly for the girl's life. Hadn't she told the brat to sit still?! What the hell was all that crawling around?! That was the complete OPPOSITE of what she told her to do! Then... she noticed it. It was barely noticeable. Hell, she wouldn't have even noticed if her focus hadn't been entirely upon that particular section of the ceiling. There was a small flinch in one of the larger chandeliers... it lowered some. Not much, if any at all, and Shiro herself doubted she had just noticed. She edged a bit more behind the fat guy to prevent the tall man currently focused upon the phone to allow her vision to trail more upward in order to really see what the hell that redhead was doing. She blinked; no way... she wasn't planning to...



'Come on... just loosen it a bit... more...'

"Eh?" It was barely above a whisper, but her expression was classic. Eyes widened, and a sweat drop appeared both sides of her face. As the entire structure shifted, it was then that she realized that the bottom of her shirt had somehow pinched itself to one of the chandelier's pieces. Without even a moment's notice, the entire piece began to fall, tearing apart her shirt. In a panic, she quickly attempted to pull the stuck strand back, but only worsened her situation. The sudden panic forced her concentration elsewhere, thus releasing her gravitational powers. As the chandelier fell, Kira soon fell shortly after, shirt completely torn in the front, revealing the crimson colored bra that supported her slightly developed breasts. Instead of trying to cover up, Kira immediately tried to evolve into some sort of bird-like creature, and flapped her wings about halfway down.



Her heart raced and pounded against her chest as soon as the structure loosened completely. With a palm onto the back of the fat man in front of her, she forced her adrenaline to rush beyond the capacity that any normal human could withstand. Her heart raced to its maximum of over four-hundred beats per second, allowing the sensation of time slowing down around her. Though barely visible, even to those tuned to sensing it, a dark aura surrounded her body as Shiro launched herself over the man she had been hiding against, and sprinted in the direction of the leader of the bank robbers. Bullets blazing, Shiro would not stop. She had to protect Kira, she Had to!



Nearly three quarters of the way down, Kira's decent slowed. Like before when she trained with Ryu, she felt her body's gravitational pull lessen as her hands covered her eyes, her subconscious activating the dormant portion of her power's full potential. Though still underdeveloped, she was able to lessen the pace of her fall. By the time the chandelier fell completely, she was hovering a good six meters above the floor, still covering her face, as though waiting for her fate...

"Pick it up already, you dummy," Leon mused to himself while waiting for Haru to pick up the phone. Tapping his left index finger impatiently, he walked back and forth, hoping that Haru would pick it up sooner or later. Why would he contact Haru? Well, there's a lot of people around the bank, and he was nowhere in sight. Maybe if he contacted Haru, he would know the whole story.

~Click~

"Hello, Haru?" Leon asked as soon as Haru picked up the phone.

Haru (phone) :"IDIOT!!"

Leon took the phone away, his ear buzzing with the insult Haru just yelled over the phone. It took a moment for the buzzing to fade away, before putting the phone back close to his ears.

Haru (phone) :"DO YOU HAD ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING?!"

"Chill, bro. What's the situation?" Leon asked, a little uneasy with the sudden outburst from Haru. It's not common for someone as calm and conceited as Haru to lose his cool just over a phone call.

Haru (phone) :"Oh, nothing. Just hanging with some FREAKIN' BANK ROBBERS in a GODFORSAKEN BANK, THAT'S ALL!!"

Leon put the phone away from his ear... again. If Haru continue to yell over the phone like that, his eardrum is going to burst. But then again, looks like Haru had put himself in a dire situation. This is bad. If something happened to Haru, there won't be anyone else to make fun of.

"O-okay.. That’s bad..." Leon replied. Subconsciously, he was walking towards the tent where most of the high tech equipments were. He pace suddenly stopped when he bumped with one of the police outside the barrier. "Sorry," he said, not really looking at him. "So, what should I do then?" Leon asked over the phone. Expectantly, his question was greeted with a sigh.

Haru (phone) :"Well... you can just stay put and hope for a miracle to happen, or go tell those cops about this!! "

"Oh, right. Good idea," Leon replied. "Maybe if the robbers talks with the police, they'll surrender quietly and we'll return to school safe and sound?" Leon said sarcastically.

Haru (phone) :"JUST DO IT, DAMMIT!!"

"Right… right. There's no need to scream, for god's sake. Geez.." he replied. Turning to the group of important-looking cops, he waved his hands frantically toward them. "Hello...! I have a call from insides that you might find it useful!" he called out.


*inside*
Haru let out a sigh. It’s bad enough to be trapped in some kind of bank heist. Now he had to deal with his friend’s stupidity and hoped that he’ll do the right thing. Hopefully, things will not get worst. He had made himself the attraction of the day, for being someone who’s stupid enough not to turn off his phone when everything started.
He glanced to Suk, who seemed to be a little disappointed by the leader’s order. Seeing as the other two robbers with heavy arms were nowhere to be seen, now the only that speedster stands on his way. He knew he’s fast enough to disarm the leader and the other one, but not the speedster. If he could cripple him in any ways, everything is as good as done. He knew almost all meta-humans in the building had thought of that.

Suddenly...

Haru felt something landed on his head. Curious, he looked up to see and noticed the section of the ceiling above them began to shift, before completely detached itself from the ceiling and towards the ground. He also caught a glimpse of a red-haired girl and shreds of clothes falling along with the chandeliers. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist hard that it bleed, as he saw this as a great opportunity to strike back at the robbers. But it won’t be possible if it he do it alone. At the very same moment, he saw a girl launched herself towards the leader and his other comrade, with a determined look.

This is the chance! With the leader and his radar companion had to deal with the girl, or what he thought was, he had the speedster all alone, possibly distracted and unprepared. He turned to the speedster; forming three crimson needles at the size of a pen. Without hesitation, he hurls the phone he was holding at the speedster's face and at the same time, launched the needles at him, aiming for his legs. If they somehow pierce their target, the speedster would probably be having his mobility reduced greatly. And hopefully, other metas could take that golden opportunity too, or else everything will be in vain.

Call me cute again...

Jo was trying to keep her calm Kwan has given her the perfect opportunity to take him out of the picture since he got close to her. Jo had stop taping her fingers against herself and began to feel around whit her magnetic powers, her right hand was working as guide, its movements soft and subtle to avoid detection, it took more concentration than normal since both her powers are tied up and she can't allow sparks to go jumping all over the place now.

She had time to see the revolver when Kwan pulled it out earlier, so she knew its location and had a basic idea on how it worked base that almost every revolver works the same. As she did her work, her eyes where stuck on Kwan, her heart was going crazy since Jo its more outgoing and determined, but then again this is her first real life or death situation.

“You want to go find out why my other two friends are taking so long.” “Don’t you?”

Not now, if I stay he will notice something strange but if I leave I may not get another chance to get this close to him. She had almost completely studied the gun all she needed to do now was to find the safety if it had one and pull the trigger until it completely empty.

To buy time Jo slowly started to come up whit an excuse “I’ll go but …” a phone started to ring taking her by surprise and a bigger surprise was the speed of the other meta

“Well don’t be rude” Jo didn’t know what to think Kwan was a wild card nothing he did made sense in her mind, “Let the man answer it.”

The phone ringing the best she could get as a distraction, she had given herself more than enough time to study the weapon, it was time, hit or miss. She had the feeling this where very valuable seconds so she decided to go all out, allowing all her power to spike, sparks of electricity started to dance all over her body as she started to pull the gun trigger as fast as she could.

((ooc: very sorry for the late reply, I had to go off and do many a thing, but I'm back now for the most part.))

At once Kwan’s vision shifted immediately upwards towards the sound of the falling chandelier, he seemed very ready to move out of the way however before he could even move an inch something much louder rang out across the chamber. Kwan’s revolver, still inside his holster underneath his jacket, had gone off due to the girls Meta Power attempts. His jacket seemed to jolt downwards in the process, a large hole appearing in the fabric at the same time, what was worse the tile directly underneath Kwan’s foot broke, sending cracks across it’s surface. All the colour in the gang leader’s face seemed to drain away as his eyes opened incredibly wide.

“FUCK!” He bellowed furiously, lifting his foot up from off of the floor in agony. Blood stained the floor crimson red that poured from a coin sized hole in his foot. The revolver had blown a hole clean through to the other side.

The distress of his leader seemed to distract Suk’s attention away from Haru, he was in the process of standing up to rush over and help Kwan when the needles hit. The first one stuck directly into his thigh sending him falling over onto the floor, he raised his head just in time to see the second however despite trying to roll out of the way he took it straight to his other leg. He managed to kick the third out of the way though, sending the needle rolling away across the floor where it laid to rest underneath a desk. Weirdly enough, when it came down to it, Suk didn’t seem that fast at all. Sure it was quite good for him to manage to kick a needle away but he completely missed avoiding the first two. He simply seemed to have the speed of a naturally fast human as no Meta Powers seemed to aid his speed at all.

A split second afterwards the chandelier hit the distracted man, sending glass spraying outwards in all directions with a tremendous crashing sound that echoed all out across the room. It all happened so fast it came to a shock to most people in the bank, they just stared at the remains of the destroyed chandelier, which now laid on the floor on top of the now motionless Kwan. He was laying on his front, blood trickling off of his body. What was more he wasn’t breathing.

“Kwan?” Suk muttered in a very upset tone as he stared at his fallen leader from across the room. He didn’t move or even attempt to take the needles from out of his legs, he just stayed still with a rather astonished and depressed look upon his face. Suddenly however he began to smile, his lips parted to show his white teeth in a wide smile that spread all the way from ear to ear. A chuckle escaped his mouth and soon enough he began to laugh, a very ecstatic laugh that seemed almost like that of a mad man. Without warning however he stopped, his gaze turning once more to that of complete seriousness. His vision switched towards Haru as he stretched his arm out to point towards him.

“You.” He said, pointing swiftly afterwards to Jo, then to Shiro then to Gemini, “You, you and you.”

He quickly lifted his thumb upwards to mimic that of a gun, even lifting his hand up to his face to imitate the movements of firing it before blowing across his finger, to blow away the smoke.

“You’re all so fucked.”

----------------------------

Before Mikhail could even attempt to create a gravitational field strong enough to force the shard of plastic through the heart of the younger bank robber, Hyun, the older bank robber, had struck. With greatly impressive speed he shot across the room to grab Mikhail by the shoulder, yanking his entire body backwards across the air and away from his team mate. It didn’t seem to be the average juggernaut type of Meta Human, not just his power had been increased by his transformation but also his speed. It was now at the point where no normal human could possibly move at the speeds in which this man was now moving. What was more his skin had turned red due to the incredible strain he seemed to be using in order to attack, his veins were popping out of his skin and he was sweating greatly.

“Your battle is with me!” Hyuan roared furiously, throwing the boy to the floor before shifting his body into another strike position. His entire arm seemed to shift and change as he brought his body into the position he needed to be in to attack, his back was towards Mikhail at this point however it was only a split second before he twisted his entire body around and brought his fist hurtling towards the ground where Mikhail was or had once been.

Things weren’t looking great for Raiya either. The hair that coiled around her were coiling around her shield at this point, unable to wrap around her body anymore they seemed to just wrap around near enough anything that got in their way. It was almost as if his hair moved on their own accord as opposed to him controlling it, the younger bank robber definitely didn’t seem capable of controlling anything anymore either. His eyes were drifting closed as unconsciousness due to the shock of being impaled by the shard overcame him. This didn’t seem to help though, in fact the hair seemed to react much more strongly to his injury. Instead of merely wrapping around Raiya they began to squeeze very tightly, not enough force to break her legs however if they were to wrap around her chest it would definitely be enough to suffocate the girl.

If Raiya had any plan at all now seemed to be the time to put it to work.

Mikhail was about to create his gravitational fields when he was suddenly yanked back. The force was enough to momentarily distract him, thereby eliminating his fields before they even began being more tied to his thought process then most powers.

"Now is the time and the place." Mikhail said out loud as he was slammed into the ground. It was more of him granting himself permission. What permission? To use emotion. Anger. Wrath. Absolute determination. His mind was racing with various field assignments. Instead of going for general effects he was aiming for many more precise results. Judging from the apparent superhuman speed Mikhail adjusted his plans accordingly. He created a sort of gravitational "slide" in front of him. Due to the sheer power, velocity, and momentum this first fields would easily nudge the angle of the down coming blow to Mikhail's right side. Further more more fields were set up so that as Hyuan attacked hed be slipping right inside a "box" of gravitational fields all designed in aiding to slam the large man into the ground to his side all by using simple physics to use Hyuan's own momentum against himself.

The third and final stage of Mikhail's plan involved a set of semi-randomly fields to his right. They would randomly push and pull in multiple directions. They were small enough to be unable to manipulate large objects but a human body, I.e Hyuan, could easily overpower them and lay through them. The result? Randomized gravitational fields pulling and pushing at various organs and muscles inside said human body. It wasnt a particularly deadly possible result, but it certainly could cause agonizing pain, severe discomfort, and disturb the body's homeostasis. Mikhail's plan was only plausible due to the fact that he can think and react quicker then his body can, and since his powers rely on the simple thought of the act, it would be entirely possible to create said fields in enough time, especially since they were being conceived the moment he was being thrown back.

[ *  *  * ]
Raiya had no time to watch Hyuan send Mikhail flying, or think about the wounded robber. All her energies and attention was fixed on getting herself out of the situation she now found herself in. The shield had worked the way she wanted it, but it didn't cover her full length, so hair was wrapping itself around her legs. Also, it was taking all the strength in this new shielding power she had to keep the shield a foot away from her body.

The coils of hair around her began tightening. Wincing as it bit into her legs, she raced for a plan. Her experience of keeping the hair away from her told her she wouldn't have much luck cutting it, even it she had a power that let her summon something sharp. All she had was her energy power and animal empathy. Seeing as there weren't any animals other than her dog Taipar in the emidiant area, she'd have to get herself out of this with only her enegy threads for help.

Closing her eyes, she slowed her breathing, which had become rapid. Bringing up all the resevers she had, she began making energy threads. Keeping them all attached to her wrists, she moved them down her body. When they came to the hair wrapped around her, she painstakingly wedged them into those slight gaps that couldn't be clogged and kept them moving down. Finally, after what seemed like hours and was only a few moments, she had threads all the way down her legs. Taking a deep breath, she made a twist with her mind and the thread began to spread out until they formed a thin sheaf between her and the hair. Next came the hard part. Calling up all her will and energy, she began expanding the sheaf, forcing the hair away from her body. If luck was on her side, once she expanded the sheaf far enough, she'd have just enough space to drop to the ground and jump through that big hole the other robber had made before the hair tried to grab her again.

Is he insane?

Alone in the main chamber, the leader was pinned to the ground (possibly dead) with a leg skewered by Haru's needles, yet still have the guts to say such thing? Either he's mentally insane, or they have done a very grave mistake. Judging at his reflexes in avoiding the needles, he didn't appear to be a fast as he used to be when he knocked the guard unconscious. So, what might he power possibly be?

Then, it struck Haru. What if this guy is an A-Class Meta-Human, a dangerous type, and the only means to control him was the guy who was pinned by the fallen chandeliers? If that's the way, then Haru and whoever dropped the thing from the ceiling had done a fatal mistake, which probably was going to cost them their lives.

Fuck!

Without hesitation, Haru spread out his hand and formed a blood-red Kodachi in his right hand while producing a slightly lighter copy in his left. He turned at the guy, bracing for the worst. His main objective is now to stay alive until the police or whatever came to the rescue, and retrieving the needles to acquire his enemy's blood.

____________________________________________________

*outside*

"Hello!" Leon called out in order to gain the policeman attention, but in vain. The guy seems to be ignoring him. He crosses his arms, slightly annoyed by the man's behavior. "I said, I have a phone call from inside the building!" he yelled, but still ignored. Perhaps because his physique didn't really reflect his age, the guy ignored him, thinking him as a nuisance.

"Hey you! I'm talking to you, dammit!" and still, no reply. Furious, he tried to climb the barrier. But he was fended off by the cop, saying that he'll charge him for disturbing a cop during his duty if he did that again.

He was at lost of words when suddenly he heard someone speaking from an unfamiliar voice from the phone. He quickly took it to his ear.

Anonymous: "Hello? Anyone there?"

Leon: "Who's the heck are you? And where's Haru?"

Anonymous: "I'm one of the hostages kept in the bank. And if the person you mean is wearing a brown overcoat and holding two shrunken samurai blades..."

Leon: "Yeah, that's him."

Anonymous: "Then he's in some kind of trouble right now. He- "

Leon didn't wait for the anonymous person to finish his sentence. All he knew was there's a battle going inside the bank and Haru was involved in it. How reckless, he thought. Did he really think he could win against them?

He had to act fast. He knew the longer time was wasted, the higher the chance for Haru to get himself killed. He had to do something. The sake of free pastries treat depends on him!!

First, he had to get through the pesky cop. How about getting over him?

-------------------------------------------------

Soon enough, the crowd could have sworn that they heard an explosion on the far right of the police barrier, and followed by figure of a kid flying over the numbers of policemen and cruisers before landing on a black sedan.

Ugh, I really, really need to work on landing...

Leon mused to himself as he found himself circled by cops around the car. "Um... phone call?" he said with an awkward smile, while holding out his phone. There was smoke coming from the sole of his shoes, and his clothes were tad worn. Indeed, it was very, very awkward.

An unexpected turn of events, at once policemen had surrounded the child who now stood upon the black sedan, pointing their semi automatic rifles at him apparently waiting for the order to fire. The commanding officer dressed in SWAT gear seemed incredibly shocked and somewhat infuriated by this intrusion, almost looking as if he was about to order these officers to open fire. The blonde haired man known as Thomas however simply looked amused, as he was chuckling softly to himself while standing next to the commanding officer. Unexpectedly he began walking up to Leon causing the commanding officer to jolt in surprise, he reached forwards to try and stop him however the blonde haired man stepped out of his way and continued on his path towards Leon. Eventually he stopped and reached his hand upwards, taking the phone and smiling back at Leon politely.

“Thank you, although, I’d have preferred it if you had no dented my car so.” He replied politely. Suddenly he threw the phone behind him, in the general direction of the commanding officer without even looking to see if he was even paying attention. Luckily enough the commanding officer was and caught the phone, though not without a sudden moment of panic as to the abruptness of the pass.

“Await for us in the command tent. And call of your men, I‘m fairly sure a child is not your intended target.” Thomas continued quite happily, turning his gaze behind him towards the commanding officer, his eyes suddenly filled with an intimidating gaze, “Now Captain Hughes.”

After a moment of consideration the captain waved his hand signalling the police officers to stand down and rush back to their original positions. The commotion had caused a disturbance in the crowd however those who had tried to break past the barrier were soon pushed back into line with the added help from those who had returned back into suit. The blonde haired man known as Thomas turned his gaze back up to Leon, his expression that of a smile.

“I’m glad you had the initiative to act but I’d advice you to be more careful around the Captain, he’s on edge due to the rumours of who it may be inside that building. If I had not stepped in I fear you may have been arrested, at minimum” He explained, “I am Thomas Brown, a negotiator and tactician strategist in service of the American government. A civil servant. And you are?”

-----------------------

The hair that continued to squeeze against Raiya’s frame seemed to force down with considerable strength against the might of her energy threads. They didn’t seem to want to give up the fight and despite how much her technique pushed at the hair, the hair pushed back with double the intensity. The only change however was that now the hair had to really work against her in order to crush her body, surprisingly causing it some frustration. Sections of the younger bank robbers hair formed into long spikes which continuously stabbed at Raiya’s shield, over and over again causing sparks to fly across the room in a vibrant display of power. It seemed as if the hair refused to give her up, it would continue without mercy to kill her, almost like an animal catching it’s prey. Luckily however the sparks caused by this attack appeared to land upon the fibres of hair causing it, setting it ablaze and scorching the strands to a crisp almost instantly. More hair seemed to grow quickly to replace the hair lost to the flames however this new hair was not wrapped around Raiya, leaving only a thin layer around the girl.

Meanwhile however, within meters of this, the older bank robber known as Hyuan had been subjected to a devastating use of the boy Mikhail’s powers. The effects were instant, as the bank robbers fist slammed into the ground mere inches from the child’s head, his eyes opened wide in agony. Immediately he backed off, grabbing his chest and stomach with both hands as he started convulsing, gagging however on what seemed unknown, though one could assume. His fists tightened, lowering to his sides as a broad smile spread across his face, blood oozing out from between his lips.

“Very clever, though it takes a sick minded little brat to think up something like tearing apart my organs.” He spat out, somewhat disgusted by Mikhail‘s actions, “I’ll remind you of my partner’s previous words, we’re twice your age, why he said this? It’s because Meta Human’s develop their powers over time, our powers are more advanced than a child‘s. Because of this you can‘t win.”

Hyuan jerked his neck to one side then quickly to the other, causing the muscles in his neck to make a rather loud clicking sound in the process. A lot of blood was dripping from his mouth however he didn’t seem to be affected by this whatsoever, in fact he didn’t even seem to notice.

“Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been able to withstand any injury I take, even a train wreck that should have killed me didn‘t. I thought for years I must have had some freakish ability to heal my wounds but eventually I realised that my true power was to take energy from the destruction of matter to reshape my body into any form my mind can imagine!” The bank robber explained, his voice filled with sheer determination, “I don’t even need my organs to survive! And it was my experience through my years that taught me how to perfect this to shape myself into a weapon superior to humans!”

With that the bank robber brought his hand swiftly upwards, his fingers stretching outwards to reveal a set of claws longer than that of a tigers. What he did next with this claw however was both unexpected and truly horrifying to watch. He brought his hand downwards across his own chest, ripping out the innards of his stomach with one quick slash and sending them spilling onto the floor. He then brought both his hands outwards for Mikhail to see. It was not a lie, he did not need his organs to survive, the interior of his body was exposed and there was nothing inside except for flesh and bone. His organs lay on the floor, black and charred.

“So knowing this, do you still want to take me on? Or do you want to stay still and die quickly!?”

-------------------------

After Kwan had been crushed by the chandelier the room soon erupted into chaos, people got up and ran, just anywhere so long as it was away from Suk and the others. Unfortunately for Haru this left Suk with a perfect view of his target instead of confusing the situation. He didn’t even seem to care that people were getting away, the only thing he cared about right now was the kid holding the blood-red and silver weapons. After pulling the needles from his legs and throwing them across the room he slowly raised to his feet, reaching his hands upwards he began to unbutton his shirt, button by button, without any rush.

“Want to know what my power is?” He asked curiously, “I’ll tell you anyway.”

Suk had removed his jacket and shirt, he threw the shirt to the ground however his long jacket he was twirling around in the air with one arm, grinning from ear to ear in the process. It may have gone noticed that Suk was covered from head to toe in an array of scars, all of them however were strangely in order around his body, forming an intricate pattern. Even more strange was that these ranged not solely of slash marks, signs of self injury, but also shrapnel and other such wounds. But that was insane, no man had the foresight to allow an explosion to damage him in such a specific way. He continued to spin the jacket for a good few seconds, speeding it up, going faster and faster and faster with incredible control. Finally he spoke, his words a soft whisper yet loud enough for Haru to hear.

“I’m a magician.”

Suddenly he twirled the jacket completely round his entire body blocking himself completely from view however it was what happened next that would shock anyone to the core. The jacket just fell to the floor, Suk however was nowhere in sight. Had he fallen through the floor? Through a trap door? Had he moved faster than the eye before the jacket completely surrounded him? Had he transported? Where had he even gone? The jacket just laid on the ground completely motionless, just an ordinary jacket in a bundled up heap.

“Oh my God!! Boy watch out!!” Someone yelled in panic from the other side of the room, a man who had decided to stay and watch was fearfully pointing towards Haru. No! Something behind Haru! It may have taken the boy a few seconds to realise it, but he was no longer holding his weapons. Despite all logic his weapons were instead in the possession of Suk, who held them both while standing mere inches behind the boy’s back. A sinister smile curled upon Suk’s lips.

“Tada.”

Suddenly and with incredible speed he slashed Haru’s own weapons downwards towards the boy’s neck so to take him out as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Through decapitation.

The corners of Mikhail's mouth felt like turning into a smile though he fought down the urge. Now he knew what the man's power was. It was indeed a beautiful power in its own right but the man was merely giving Mikhail ideas.

"Well now? That is so? The ability to convert destroyed matter into flesh manipulation allowing you to not require the needs of organs and other such things? So it would be safe to assume that muscle degeneration would easily be overcome by your power?" Mikhail raised his hands up. "If thats the case then would it be a bad idea if...I dont know...I severed your head and crushed the skull? Or maybe I can heal you by reproducing your cells till DNA degradation left you a husk of an old man? Or would the fact that doing so would drain the body of energy to the point where you couldn't use energy from your destroyed flesh to manipulate it? Mitosis control has interesting possibilities and ive always wanted to test them out on one with a durable body..." He said as if he was about to play with a new toy. Mikhail had mere hypothesis about what could work but he was sure it would be interesting to find out.

Mikhail set up a few repulsing gravitational fields directly in front of him for defensive purposes, all slanted for the intent of redirection then a full block. Noticing the growing fire, and thinking it would be a rather interesting experiment to watch, Mikhail created a set of gravitational fields designed to pull and push Hyuan through by sections over to the fire. The boy was quite curious to see how the man would cope with burns.

"See you may be older and have more developed powers then I do but you forget the fundamental difference that matters more: My willpower and mental construction is better than yours. Because of this you cannot win." Mikhail mocked the older man.

Yes, that's 18 with a Vizard mask.
[ * ]
{OOC: Not that it matters to anyone, but Gemini/Shiro color fonts have been changed due to coding being a pain in the butt to remember. Gemini's voice is now light blue, and Shiro's voice is now dark blue. They do sound different, so aside from the eye-color changes, their voice should be able to be told apart}



From the moment the man had pointed her own, Shiro had paused in her step. Kira still seemed unaware that she was floating, arms covering her eyes and seemingly frozen in time. It seemed like forever until someone else had started to make a move, which forced Suk to divert his attention elsewhere. Shiro wasn't sure whether or not to be thankful, but it seemed the passing time was enough for Kira to loosen the grip upon herself in realization that she hadn't quite yet hit the ground. When she finally did realize she had been floating, the subconscious control she had on her powers were disrupted, and she fell the rest of the way. This time, Shiro was there to catch her. From there, chaos ensued.

"Kira," Shiro turned to the girl. "I want you to run, now. Go!"

Kira hesitated, which forced the elder woman to give her a forceful push toward the door. The crimson haired girl felt panic envelop her as Shiro started to sprint in the opposing direction, to where the maniac and one of the hostages seemed to be doing battle.

That faint blood-red aura faintly surrounded her body, only visible to those attuned to spiritual energy. Her heart raced beyond human limits; doubling, tripling, and increasing even still. As time seemed to slow around her, her own movements hastened, and soon enough, those crimson hues went wide in an attempt to take in every action developing around her. As soon as the man's jacket had hit the ground, and a shouting man pointed toward Haru, Shiro's hands clasped firmly around one of the metal poles that held up the velvet rope. Dragging two or three with her, a quick movement of her thumb was enough to unlink the chain, leaving her with the pole itself, and two more steps provided her the room for a quick leap three meters from Haru.

In mid air, the girl was able to spin her body as it tilted back into a flip, turning horizontally and vertically at the same time. The pole high behind her head, now upside down and facing toward the boy, with a vicious swing, she aimed directly for the man standing behind him, hoping to knock the guy's head right the hell off, just as he spoke words that seemed to take an eternity to speak, at least, for Shiro.

Call me cute again...

OOC: Sorry short, but I didn’t think adding more was extremely necessary
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
A big grin formed in Jo’s face her happiness for success was cut short by the freaking chandelier falling from the ceiling “Oh S…“ before finishing the so over use phrase in movie history Jo rapidly jump to the side to avoid the chandelier, thought the glass was another story as the pieces sprayed some of them where able to give her small cuts and ruin her dress in the process.

“You, You, you and you” The voice of the extremely Fast meta-human caught Jo’s attention Is this guy crazy didn’t we just stop the leader or
“You’re all so fucked.”

I think we had it all wrong from the beginning a true master doesn’t show his face unless its really necessary or at less that’s how it works on all the cliché books I read

People where taking this as an opportunity to escape, but Jo had other thing in mind she stood up and walk closer to the seemingly dead Kwan, using her magnetic powers she un-holstered his revolver and directed it toward her hands. She saw that Suk had his hands occupied at the moment so decided to slowly walk toward Gi while taking aim “You!!!, Gi is it? Drop to the floor, close your eyes and keep you screwing mouth shut or I will make sure to completely empty this gun on you” why Gi? when all the attention was toward Suk, she didn’t have a freaking idea what his powers are and God knows she doesn’t want to find out. Yes she was tempted on driving her attention to Suk, but she had a very bad feeling about Gi the way Kwan acted around him earlier and the way Suk still has confidence something is not right.

Before the swords that were being swung downwards towards Haru’s head could connect Suk very swiftly learnt backwards to avoid the pole that was being aimed towards his head. He somehow managed to bend his entire body back in a very small amount of time, causing the pole to miss him by a long shot. It was not that Suk moved that fast, not at all, but it was the way he moved that allowed him to avoid this attack. He seemed to utilize the exact amount of distance to move at exactly the right time in order to achieve the best result, quite peculiar as he would have had to of known the exact position Shiro would swing the pole in order to avoid it. No matter how he avoided her attack the point was that he had avoided it. The only good thing about Shiro’s attack would have been that by forcing Suk to avoid the metal pole his attack with the two swords had fallen short of their mark.

The bank robber carried his manoeuvre onwards into a back flip, he landed on his hands and pushed off of the floor to spring up and flip through the air one last time before landing very heavily on top of a desk. Due to the added weight onto the furniture’s one side the entire desk flipped over, it moved up and over Suk’s body as he landed down on the floor. With a loud crunch the desk slammed onto the floor, shattering the wood a little and forcing it to tip onto its side. Suk on the other hand, had disappeared in the split second the desk covered up his entire body from view. Once again disappearing while nobody could see him and therefore figure out how it was he was moving this way.

Where was he now? The answer came sooner to some. A split second after he had disappeared in the main chamber of the bank Suk stepped out from behind a pillar towards the front of a bank, standing right in the path of Kira and those who had ran towards the doors in their attempt to escape. The bank robber slammed his hand onto the thick metal grating that blocked the door, a wicked smile spreading from ear to ear as he glared at those who cowered in front of him.

“Kwan said you’re not allowed to leave.” He said in a hushed tone, “The bank is.. locked down.. anyway, so you can’t get out.. Meta Human proof walls, they wont break, but you will.”

Suddenly Suk dropped down into an intimidating pose, or was it an intimidating pose? His arms were outstretched and his hands positioned like claws however he still smiled as if he were very greatly enjoying himself. No this was more like the pose a child made to mimic a scary monster or something else in which they assumed were intimidating at their age.

“Boo!” He laughed out, “Run! Or I’ll get you!”

-------------------

Gi didn’t move from his crouched down position which he had remained in for the entire length of the time he had been inside of the bank. He didn’t even look upwards at Jo when she yelled at him, he didn’t even seem mildly phased by the fact that she had a gun, maybe he didn’t even know she had a gun at all. In his own time he spoke, his words soft and calm given the circumstances.

“If it’ll make you feel better I will.” He said politely, his words hinting that he was a very timid person at the best of times, “But.. I wasn’t going to hurt any of you anyway..”

Slowly Gi slid down onto his stomach and placed his hands onto the top of his head, he really looked very depressed, not that he had a gun pointed to his person but just generally depressed. He sighed a little and slowly lifted his head upwards to reveal his face from underneath his mess of blonde hair. Two things were noticeable about this, one was that he wasn’t looking in the direction of Jo but instead looking directly forwards towards her right side, missing her face by at least a meter. The other was that both of his eyes were a milky white colour, very unnatural for an average person.

“..I just wanted you to know that..” He added with a heavy heart, “..Kwan wants what’s best for all of us.. Even you..”

Suddenly he paused, thinking to himself before coming up with what he wanted to say next.

“Where is he?” He asked curiously, “I can’t hear him.”

---------------------

The older bank robber Hyuan’s lip curled as he listened to what the boy had to say, for a moment a flicker of doubt entered his mind and the question of if the boy was really capable of such things was raised. These thoughts however were pushed aside when Mikhail said his last words. Hyuan scowled back at him angrily, the hand of his vastly altered arm curling up into a tight fist. Mikhail was pushing his buttons, getting the bank robber more and more angry, if this was a good thing or a bad thing however was left to the unknown.

“Kids like you sicken me, you have a Meta Power that you can use to hurt people so you think you’re the darkest thing to ever come to this planet.” He growled, “Trust me on this one, even if you kill me you’ll still have to answer to Kwan, then you’ll know true darkness!”

Suddenly he dropped downwards into a ready stance although this swiftly changed into an attack, he dived forwards with such force that the concrete floor underneath him was ripped from its fixings and sent flying backwards into the wall behind him. The bank robber sprung forwards and swung his fist upwards so quickly his entire body seemed to become a blur to an untrained eye. This attack, like all of his attacks so far, was so powerful it could easily rip a normal man to shreds upon impact. The air around his moving arm even seemed to heat up and ignite as the body part moved so fast it caused friction all around it. The bank robber had definitely moved from the stage of possible human movement into Meta assisted movement, combined with his healing ability and increased strength he was definitely nobody to take lightly.

As Mikhail got up he created a few simple fields. The first set were designed to pull at Hyuan's ankles in effort to trip the man. The second set being used to try and pull that larger man face forward to the ground. Knowing that if he succeeded the momentum would still carry the man forward towards Mikhail he angled it so that the collapse would be at an angled drop. That way if Mikhail's plan of tripping the man worked he would merely slide in a direction that wasn't dead on Mikhail.

"Your wrong though. Im not darkness, nor do I seek to be. Nor am I light. Those things are frivolous. Either way I am merely Mikhail Gramium. I do not have any urge to embrace so called darkness and if I met it I wouldnt care. I have no true single goal, I make some as I go. The only reason: to not be bored." Mikhail said with a slight sigh, though not one out of sadness or malice.

Haru couldn't believe his eyes. Did he just disappeared? No. He could still feel the hostile presence of his adversary. But where did he go? he asked himself staring at the bundled heap of jacket. This wasn't really a good situation. Having no knowledge about the whereabouts of his opponent, he'd be more like a sitting duck, who're waiting for it head to be cut off, literally.

“Oh my God!! Boy watch out!!”

Huh?

He didn't even had the time to turn when he heard a sneer from behind him.

"Tada"

Suddenly a feeling of sudden death swept over him. He didn't even know what caused it. He urged his body to move, but they were petrified in their position. The feeling crept closer, swallowing him, devouring him.

Move it. Move it. Move it dammit!!

~SLASH~

Droplets of blood was floating on the air, as a result of the man sudden attack. But what had happened to Haru?

Fortunately, he turned just in the nick of time to evade the blades and took a few steps back. However, they didn't really missed their mark. Crimson liquids was oozing from one side of his neck. Granted that he evaded the blades a second too late, the man would have probably manage to sever his jugular veins, ultimately leading to his death.

Cupping his neck with one hand, he looked up just in time to see the man disappear again. Panting, he saw the previous girl with a pole in her hand. He assumed that she had saved him from demise, and was really grateful for it.

"Thanks," he gasped. He then winced as the wound in the neck was beginning to hurt. Using his ability, he sealed the wound by hardening a layer of blood on the wound. By doing so, he had delayed the impending death by losing too much blood. But doing that alone wasn't going to save him. He had to figure out a way to solve this, and he didn't have much time.

He raced towards the needles that was across the room. The man had the upper hand by confiscating his blood kodachi. But with the needles that had some of the man blood on it, thing might be even things up, hopefully.

-------------------------------------------------------

*outside*

"Umm... I'm Leon. A student from AHS." he stuttered, feeling awkward in front of someone who had such power and authority. "My favourite food is pastries, and my hobby is to play prank on people. I also-" he said unknowingly, most probably because of being nervous. He was going to talk nonsenses when a loud crash from inside the bank was heard.

"Forget about me! My friend is in there, and he's in danger!" he exclaimed, pointing at the building. The more time he was here, the more likely the chance he would find his schoolmates (if there's any in there) dead when everything ended.

"Can you people do at least something?" he said, with an urged tone in his voice.

"KIRA!"

The frozen body of the crimson haired girl forced Shiro into a mad sprint in the opposing direction. Bastard; how did he get there so fast? The scarlet hued girl hadn't even seen him move, let alone, vanish! Her jaw clenched tightly, and if she had fangs, they'd be expressed to their full extent.



Kira's body tensed when the man appeared before her. She wasn't certain exactly where she should have run to; the doors seemed like the ideal target, but hadn't they been sealed off? Where was she to go? Out of danger came to mind, but where on Earth would that have been? Now that the crazy man had appeared before her, seemingly out of nowhere, her body trembled in fear, which expressed in full within those soft, gray-violet hues. She took two hesitant steps back, her outer arm rising, mostly out of instinctive protection than anything else.

>>“Boo! Run! Or I’ll get you!”<<

"Stop with your damn parlor tricks, and fight like a man!" Shiro screamed, tightly balled up fist cocked back, a scowl expressed upon her features as she rushed toward Suk. As Kira started to turn and run, Shiro was there. With a dramatic leap, she launched her fist forward, aimed directly for the man's face. Suk's sneer was ever present upon his features as his weight shifted back, a sly movement of his back leg easily preventing being struck. Shiro let out a growl as that faint aura increased, her heart beating so rapidly it forced the heat within her own body to increase dramatically.

With a shift of her leg, she brought up a quick roundhouse, but again, it was easily dodged. With a growl, Shiro increased her heart rate further, pushing far beyond what she normally considered her limits. With a step down, she kicked forward, time around her seeming almost at a stand still. Her eyes were fully widened, taking in almost everything around her. Still, with each throw of her arm; every punch she delivered, every kick she threw, the man was always one step ahead of her. He wasn't a speedster; no, his movements weren't fast... he was just avoiding her, as though he were reading her mind.

Her moves then became chaotic; filled with random spurts. A quick roundhouse low shifted high, but the man would duck under it, shift his weight, and spin behind her. Shiro swung the closed fist of her back hand out with a spin, and raised her knee, but the man was again, quick to avoid. The hyperactive adrenaline-rushed woman let out another growl of frustration that quickly turned into a roar. Her increased heart rate began to show the strain on her body. Sweat seemed to drench the clothes she wore, her face fully flushed due to the maximum amount of blood flowing so hastily through her body. Left jab, right hook, left punch, right roundhouse, spin on the ball of her foot, and a left hook; nothing hit! Nothing was hitting him!

'Who... the hell... is this guy?' Shiro panting as the two broke apart momentarilly, the round of melee seeming to have been a great amount of strikes, but all of them were delivered by Shiro... none of which seemed to hit their mark.
