Experimentals

"So you want to transform the abandoned lab into some kind of society of superhumans?" Zenma had a very high view of what they have become
"Yes, a place where humans like us can form a society and learn about our abilities away from the greedy hands of the labs."
"Do you think we can find people who would agree to that? What if they just want to hide? I hardly think you can be trusted not to abuse them either doctor"
"That's true but don't forget, I'm one of you too." Zenma clenched his fist and knocked them on the rail of the boat, it lurched up in down by the shock.
"Even the rejects have more powers then those scientists! They only wanted to create the strongest of us, they feared that the weaker ones will follow us into a revolution!"

There is a deep seated hatred in him. Something happened in his past that made him see things this way
"This is about your wife isn't it doctor"
Zenma looked disgusted
"Yes, we were both...rejects"
Zenma seemed plenty strong to me. Maybe it had something to do with the purple mist that came out of his hands?

"What you heard from others is partially true. My doctor did rape my wife in front of me. I stood by and did nothing. He told me to watch if I valued my life. I...I was scared. Her screams for help and I only stood there! Then he told me to kill her afterwards in exchange for my life."

Leonard was glad he didn't pull this memory out himself. He may not have recovered.
"So you killed her?"
"NO! She killed the doctor with her power, her power which was suppose to be too weak proved to be fatel for the old man."
"What do you mean doctor?"
"You remember the memory that saw that incredible speed of that red haired women right? That was my wife"
Ah, so that's why he's so interested in Steven's memories
"Yeah... I remember that doctor..."
"Well let's just say the elderly doctor got more then he bargained for when he raped my wife"
Wait... he can't possibly mean... that!

"The old doctor suffered from a heart attack. She was too much women for him"
Zenma, almost incredulously, looked proud

"She left the labs in an instant, she must have been in such a state that she couldn't control her powers. I never saw her again. When security came by I told them the doctor died of a heart attack. A truth as the autopsy would later show. I also altered the doctor's report clearing my name for termination. His new recommendation, employ me to help with his lab work. Well you know the story from there"

 

@Doomguy thats.......one way to die O.O

 

Zach was blushing like crazy when Leah told him that she liked him back. He couldn’t believe it that a cute girl could like someone like him, when all he ever did was work as a lab assistant.


“I’m glad that you like me back. For now, I think it would be best to keep this hidden from the others, with our current situation, attacking the labs is what we need to be focused on. I will help you to control your abilities, although I need to be careful, since your ability can drain mine.”

Zach then wrapped his arms around Leah’s waist, and pulled her against him.

“Although, for right now, staying like this feels a lot better than fighting. In a bit, I’m going to see if I can help the team with recon and intelligence gathering.” Zach said, and he lightly kissed Leah on the cheek.

 

Lol

The boat was making it's way to the slums in the city. A small fishing post had a few boats harbored.
"Don't you think we stick out too much with this cannon doctor?"
"Hmm. Good point, better cover it up. We'll say it's a harpoon or something. Fishermen respect the sanctity of another man's ship. Well at least I hope they do."
Leonard was skeptical but decided it can't be helped. As they docked onto the pier a burly man came up to them. "Ho there, how fares the catch today?"

Zenma shook his head and told him about the events at the lab
"We were shooting fish in a barrel today. Our attack on the enemy docks was a smashing success. We sunk an estimated 20,000 tons of enemy shipping. Their tanker sunk at the bottom of their harbor in glorious flames, it's wreckage blocking the enemy counterattack making our escape assured."

The burly man guffawed at the apparent joke
"Ha! Once a navy man always a navy man! So how long do you plan on keeping this ship moored here? We don't get many visitors these days but I got to keep business running"
"Don't worry about that, I'll send you a check once I get back to the hotel. You can consider the boat yours if you don't hear from us tomorrow."
The burly captains eyes sparkled at the prospect. The boat was in much better shape then the other vessels moored here
"We WILL pay for this spot. Don't get any funny ideas touching our property. I'll have you strung up by your ears if you dare"
The captain looked crestfallen but nodded his head.

"Very well. Welcome to Kras City."

OOT- I don't know If I'm close to you guys or not. If not I'll just make my way to the hotel.

 

The four were assembled on a rooftop, looking out over Kras City.
"Zed's been captured by a group of upstarts who call themselves the Elite 6." Throne snorted in derision. "Honestly, the melodrama is tangible. Gevaudan, your mission is temporarily postponed until you have assisted Half in his task."
"Oh, splendid...I always wanted a new puppy."
"Who died and made you queen?"
The look both her and Stalk gave him was enough to settle the dispute. Then Throne's phone buzzed and she checked it. "Well, well, well, this IS fascinating..."
"What? Stalk didn't send you another dick pic, did he?"
"It appears that those behind the creation of the Elite 6 also contributed a great deal of research towards Loop's regeneration capabilities. Meaning we may be able to kill two birds with one stone, assuming my suspicions are right and the poor little zombie is trying to track down those who had a hand in his pain. Both of you, go."
Both Half and Gevaudan departed, leaving Throne and Stalk alone.

Stalk gently ran his fingers over Throne's shoulders, causing her to shiver. "I can't resist you, even now," he murmured, his hands roving over her clothed body. "Do you still remember how we all used to be? Before the experiments? Back when you still had a body and I could have all of you under my tongue?"
Throne's reply was distant and longing. "Do you think I could forget?"
"I'm sorry," Stalk said sadly. "All of our... changes... was because of me. I brought us all into this. My desire for you was what wrought this upon us."
She turned, grasping between his legs and squeezing. Stalk's eyes crossed.
"I'll kill you," she whispered in his ear. "I'll tear out your spine and flay you with it. Rip your bones from your sockets and gouge out your eyes. Open up your stomach and choke you on your own intestines, I'll slice off your balls and fry them while you watch..."
Stalk's breath was getting labored and his body was heaving. "Please... oh lord...yes... oh please... more more more...." he begged.
"I'll drench you in acid and watch you melt, set you on fire and cook you alive, peel your skin off layer by layer, cut you apart like a cake, like a big bloodied cake..."
She let him feel her breath on his ear. "I'll force my way into your head and make you spit out your own brain."
Stalk shuddered and gasped, his body shaking and spasming. A wet patch appeared on his trousers, making Throne's hand slightly damp.
"...Oh, God, yes...." he moaned, before locking eyes with her. "Why me?"
"Because you cared," she said simply. "Now, find that girl for me. Please?"

 

"One of the Elites huh, so your like that girl over there."
"Hech Hech, indeed."
"So tell me why are you trying to kill us."
"Because."

Johnny vanishes for a split second and reappears in front of Zed.
"Killing you will be fun."
Zed jerks his body back, he realises his going to fall through the hole that the elite made. He looks at Johnny who is currently swan diving to Zed with a knife in between his hands. Zed sees a bright light behind Johnny, he turns around and dives through his shadow. Johnny seeing he's going to land on hard concrete does a front flip and lands on his feet, a few cracks can be heard coming from Johnny's foot. Zeds shadow moves to a nearby pole and he gets out of it gripping onto the pole. Exhausted he hauls himself out of his shadow and onto the ground.

"Seems like you stayed inside your shadow for too long."
*pant* "Well i haven't got that much exercise in yet."

Johnny starts running to Zed with his knife ready in hand. Zed staring at Johnny running towards him is too exhausted to dodge, he can't move his legs or his body. Mr. Red still fighting the other Elite, he kicks her but she blocks with her arms. She jabs at Mr. Red, but he dodges, as he dodges he sees Johnny about to kill Zed, who is sitting there exhausted. Without thinking Mr. Red reacts to the Elites punch instead of dodging he grabs her fist and then swipes he legs making her fall over. He then looks at Zed and starts making his blood start pumping faster giving Zed an adrenaline. He regains his energy and sees Johnny's knife coming down to cut him in half, Zed uses his shadow to go a behind Johnny and he swaps places with his shadow, he moves his arm to go around his neck. Johnny smiles.

"Foolish Kid."

Johnny stamps his foot, Zed hears a ticking noise and realises what it is, it was a bomb. The noise was coming from inside Johnny, he immediately pushes Johnny away and goes into his shadow.
BOOM

 

Apparently this section of the city was under some kind of lockdown. There has been a rationing of important supplies such as food and water. The powerplant area was still some distance away. If they could get to it they would be free from the lockdown. The personal there were loyal to the doctor.

Leonard was asking the doctor "They seem to be looking for someone. You don't think they're already on our tail do you?"
The lab was persistent but the timing for this lockdown seemed to0 quick.

"I don't know, starving out a city just to find two people seems drastic. This might be a target for something else"
"For something else... I remember a memory from that Jess women, she met a group of people in some warehouse or something. I think it was that escapee group"
"So they might be nearby. Well that's good and bad news. If we wanted to find them it would be easier to pinpoint their location. However the bad news is that the lab it starting to get closer on finding that girl."
That's not good. If she fell into the wrong hands...
Doctor Zenma made it clear. They must prevent that girl from being recaptured by the labs. He never told Leonard why, it was possible he didn't know himself. From the reports he read her powers sounded frighting. The ability to create black holes? I wouldn't want her to be on the other side either.

"Regardless doctor, we have to find a way out of these slums"
"Yes your right, I don't want to test our new found freedom by walking through a checkpoint"
Zenma was looking around and got an idea.

"We can try slipping through via the sewer system. I remember the layout when pinpointing possible locations of shapeshifter"
Zenma was pointing at a nearby manhole. Leonard groaned
Ugh. Now I'll need a new set of clothes

 

They watched the explosion from the window of a nearby disused restaurant.
"How very dramatic. Almost like watching a superhero film or something."
"Don't get any ideas, Half. We ain't heroes. Genetic freaks at best. Ungodly monsters at worst."
"There were some heroes with genetic issues. The Hulk for instance."
"Ehh, depends what film you watched, I guess. I personally prefer the Ang Lee first film."
"...I don't know you."
"At least I don't watch -"
"Don't say it. If you do I swear I will drain every last speck of life out of your mutated cells."
"...My Little Pony."
"I, will, KILL -"
He broke off as the sight of something moving on a nearby rooftop, something far too pale to be human, lurching and staggering towards the fight.
"Hey, Gevaudan. I think your target just arrived."
"Sweet. Let's hope he holds up to the hype."
"Zed appears weakened. When he emerges from his shadow, I'll see if he doesn't mind... "donating" some biological material for me to to keep around."
"Disgusting."

He wondered. How do I find one girl in a big city? The answer was simple. Find someone looking for the said girl and follow them. The true winners in this world weren't the heroes who did the dirty work and put in the hours and made the sacrifices and lost blood for their goals and dreams. You only won if you then took credit and profited from your labour. Otherwise you were a fool who got played.
For him, the profit was in her. Throne. He'd loved her ever since he'd found her all those years ago. He remembered the colour of her eyes, scared and ashamed, looking up at him as lightning struck his front garden. He remembered the taste of her mouth and her body as she'd "repaid" his kindness. He remembered the shock and confusion on her face as he stopped her from leaving the moment the night was over.
His eyes closed, lost in memories. She'd been all his. She'd loved him. Him and his friends, the creatures now known as Half and Gevaudan. He could never be with her. Her body, her old one, was gone completely - he remembered screaming as they shredded it before his eyes. He remembered her begging and pleading, her howling his name as they took her and changed her into what she was today. He remembered doing the same when they destroyed any chance he could ever make love to her again.
And he remembered why.
His teeth, crooked and yellow, clenched.
I will get revenge. For all of us. For what they took from us. And once Throne gains the power she wants... we're going to make them all pay. We're going to get our old bodies back, and when we do this project of theirs, the lives they've ruined... will be less than ashes in the wind.
A part of him regretted the fact that in order for Throne to survive and win, an innocent girl had to lose it all, so young.
But you don't make omelette without breaking a few eggs.
He decided to start the campaign - he set off for the city center, wanting nothing more than to return to Throne and pin her against the wall. But business came before pleasure, and he had a good idea where to start...

 

UNDERNEATH KRAS CITY

Shapeshifter stirred. His last meal was old, fat, and sickly. He needed to find a new body soon. He touched the passcard he always carried. He still had it. Not many people knew about the secret basement below the Lucky Seven hotel. Fewer still would dare disturb the terror beneath it.

My orders were clear. Only my master is allowed to take my keycard. Anyone demanding my passcard is to be considered hostile.

Somewhere in the back of Shapeshifter's mind he realized his master was long dead.

 

OOT: must learn to balance game time with typing time.......

Frost and I make our way back taking the back allies and less traveled route due to the fact of not wanting to be seen and the fact we are carrying the guns we stole. What i expected to be a silent run back to the house as actually a very talkative walk.
"So why didn't you tell me you had that kind of power?"
"What kind of power?"
"Don't give me that, what you did. That wasn't any form of Pyrokinesis. That was a second ability"
Ah that, i knew that was what she wanted to know but i myself didn't even know what it was
"I'm not sure myself. Hell i don't even think i have control over it just, happens. This is the second time it has happened and...
"You can control it.."
"Eh?!"
"After all i have control over mine"
That move, when she created the doubles...
"So are you saying that it's like your move"
Frost had a face full of thought, after a few minutes of silence she spoke again. Only this time she was looking me dead in the eye
"No one else is suppose to have the same eyes i do, but some how you have them. Dynamic and flowing, You also have a second ability.... Who was your Doctor?"
I recall that man, cocky yet composed. Arrogant yet wise. Dr Toufin
"Dr Edward Toufin"
Frost face held a mix of surprise yet excitement as if she had gotten something right
"Hmmm so i was....."
"What, tell me Frost"
She stopped walking again and turned around. In a voice holding both resentment and kindness she says
"Well considering you saved my ass, despite the fact of it being in danger because you took so long. I'll tell you this, you've earned it, My doctor was Edward Toufin"
I am stunned, frost and i where both experimented on by the same doctor.
"So i guess you can say i was wrong...... we are they same: dynamic eyes, a second power, and the same Doc. We are the same, if only slightly"
Seems she likes you dropping your guard, only to have her rub a little salt in the wound.
"So, what was the trick you pulled back fighting the wolf?"
"Ah, well unlike you i've actually figured out how to control it, I call it multi-mimic"
"I wasn't asking you whats the difference between you and me i asked what it was. Also are you really going to call it that?"
"Yes...." Frost answers a bit shyly, seems she doesn't very well like it when the shoe is on the other foot
"So what does it do?"
"As you saw it lets me create copies of me, all looking, sounding and acting like me. The problem is they need a catalysis to form, my blood. A further downside is that for every movement the clones make it takes a toll on my stamina"
"Meaning if they all send ice spikes.."
"It's like I'm firing an ice spike at however many times the cost per clone"
With that in mind when she was fighting the wolfman with me she was using..... 10x her stamina to fight, the fact she lasted so long proves how strong she is. I wonder if i could get mine to work on will as well?

We finally made it back to the house. Atlas greeted us and was pleased we had not only turned the water back on but had stolen guns as well
"Nice haul, how many you got?"
"11"
"3 rifles and 8 pistols"
"Good, we will leave them out and see who decides to take one, you two want one before we let them chose?"
Frost picks up one of the pistols we had stole and claims it has hers, i look through the options: the rifles have more punch but are clunkier. the pistols make good side arms but lack clip size and firepower. I end up also choosing a pistol, figured my own fireballs back enough of a punch this would be a last resort thing. After picking our weapons we find that the others gathered a bit of scrap metal. I get to work melting it, now that i can use a steady stream rather than a fireball it goes faster. However Frost still being tired for our fight with the wolfman can't cool it as fast so it's not till evening before we have sheet metal cooled and in place like last time. But now that brings us to our current problem......

We have 10 people and only 8 rooms...... Frost, Echo, Atlas, Leah, Zach, Claus, Locks, Jess, Jet, and myself. Myself and Frost are sharing a room but that still leaves one person bed-less.
"Well lads and lass, we got any one willing to share rooms? Else someones sleeping on the group, and it' sure as hell ain't going to be me!"
"Ditto, I'd say let the new ones decide it. After dinner I'm headed straight to my room"
"My room is already full..."
"....." I am the one she is referring, seeing as leah took over my room i'm with Frost for now

Back at the labs

"Well done Zenma, well done. A nice firestorm to mark your leaving, too back it won't do much to hault the labs. Recall the clones that are hunting Zenma, have them contain the fires. Get some water users and Air as well, the faster this is done the faster we can get back to normal, all the alarms have been giving me head aches"
Toufin rubs his temples trying to relive the pain slightly.
"After the fire is out send a clone out to each district, Kras is so large after all they could be anywhere.......One clone taking care of each district well cause less of a disturbance than 100 in a single district. And besides, could be fun..... She could end up meeting one of them ahahahahah"
The doctor laughed at the thought of a clone meeting the original.
"Ah but go on Zenma run, after all. I have all the time in the world, and soon we will check on how Gama is going. Should he be up to par you'll have more playthings to fight"

 

Even though he knew that the threat of being captured was always present, Zach was still able to smile because of Leah. He would make sure that he could protect her, especially since the labs wanted her. Zach went out to a part of the city with a lot of scrap metal, he was going to test out his new power. He let the metal take over his arm, and concentrated on some of the metal scraps. They came toward him, and he fused them together into a blade. Then he put his metal hand on the ground, and he felt the hum of the metal below the surface. He concentrated on it, and felt power flowing into them, and they rushed out of the surface. Zach smiled, his new power would come in handy

Back at base, room situations were getting set

"Well lads and lass, we got any one willing to share rooms? Else someones sleeping on the group, and it' sure as hell ain't going to be me!"
"Ditto, I'd say let the new ones decide it. After dinner I'm headed straight to my room"

"I can room with Leah, she's fine with it." Zach said, and looked over to her


He knew the labs all too well. The scientists would check the data readings, and then put the subjects back onto the tables and hook them up to the machines. Some of the subjects would scream in agony, while others just accepted their fate. Of course, he never had to experience this. He was born with his ability. He had a lot of influence with this corporation, but he always found it boring that petty politics were at the core of the place. They had so much more potential, and the newly escaped subjects were finally bringing some entertainment to the place. That is why he allowed them to escape

“So it seems that our subjects have found their way into the city, and have even formed a group.” One of the members said this, as he sipped on his coffee


“Indeed, and it seems that Zach has also managed to find some love in his new group. I have a feeling that things will get interesting as more of the players make their moves. After all, what fun would this be if it was all just one group? By the way, keep an eye on that one group, their leader has something odd about her. If things start to get bad, I will make sure that Zach has what he needs to fight back, after all, he is my star player in this.” Dreamwalker said this, noting where all the players positions were, and deciding his next move

 

"I can room with Leah, she's fine with it." Zach said, and looked over to Leah
"Yes I am fine with it, I don't mind that we share a room"
"Very well then, Claus Locks Jess Jet. You four get the apartments we build in the warehouse, Leah and Zach will share her room"
"Well since we have the rooms sorted, I was wonder if we were going to eat soon. I can cook for everyone, if you like?"
"You are more than welcome to. All we really have is fish and some hard bread"
"Could be nice, having a change for a bit"
" What you don't like fish soup?" Frost was giving me a glare
"....well...."
"HMPH" Frost then stomps on my foot
"OW"
"Just let us know when it's ready lass, and remember you are cooking for 14 here, i eat the same as 4 HAHAHA"
"Ignore him, cook for 10 and good luck. We will all eat in the main room once it's ready"

 

"What the hell is that smell!?"
Leonard had it with these sewers. He could have sworn Zenma was taking the long way just to spite him for waking him up this morning.

"We're almost there, just a little longer"
"You said that half an hour ago, if I didn't know any better I would think you were mapping out this place"

In truth that was probably exactly what the doctor was doing. Everything he does was a calculated move. If he was serious about cornering Shapeshifter then he would prepare before that encounter. Without the lab's support it was more crucial to use any resources you had.

"This way. This is a good place"
Zenma was referring to a long corridor section of the sewer. There would be no escape if someone were to be caught between two sides.
"Let's get out through that manhole. We have a lot of work to do"

Zenma started to climb out of the sewers to the powerplant district
Yes, he was definitely planning on using this area

 

Zed comes out of his shadow gasping for air.
"Crazy son of a bitch"
Zed drags himself out of his shadow and looks around for Mr. Red. He sees Mr. Red knees on the ground coughing out blood, the Elite near Mr. Red gets up. She grabs the sphere that was on the ground, she pressed a few buttons and it turned back into a plasma canon. She aims it at Mr. Red who is currently dying from the move he used. Zed on the ground sees the plasma canon charging, it slowly charges as it is being aimed at Mr. Red. Zed groans as he lays on the floor in agony, his blood still pumping fast in him. He raises his hand and focuses his sight onto the plasma canon, the plasma canon still charging slowly as it makes noises of it trying hard to work. A dark aura around Zeds hand starts to arise, Zed starts to breath heavily.
"Embrace the darkness."
Zeds shadow comes out of his hand it races to to the plasma canon and kicks it up. The elite misses Mr. Red and shoots at the facilities near by, explosions and fires start to spread like haywire. Zed gets up and starts running to the elite, he uses his shadow to knock her plasma canon out of her hands. Zed punches the Elite in the stomach and kicks her out of the way. He then goes to Mr. Red who is still coughing out blood, he bends down and wraps Mr. Reds arm around his neck, he lifts him up and start walking away.
The districts alarms start to go off
CODE RED! CODE RED! ALL MEMBERS PLEASE LEAVE THE FACILITIES AND OUT OF THE DISTRICT! I REPEAT! CODE RED! CODE RED! ALL MEMBERS PLEASE LEAVE THE FACILITIES AND OUT OF THE DISTRICT!
Zed groans as he carries Mr. Red
"God damn they are so loud."
*Cough* "Well. . . They have to be. . . . Big explosions everywhere."
"Well we did kinda make a ruckus back there."
"Heh, Indeed."
"Zed, I only have 20% chance of living you know." *Cough*
"What you mean?"
"The power I used to make your blood go faster. Gives me only 20% chance of living."
"Well if that's true, then I am betting on that 20% that you are going to live."
*Cough* "I don't think I'm going to make it."
"No you are, your going to make it and we are going to escape this hell called pandora."
"Heh, if you say so."
"But before we leave or should I say before I die, I want something."
"What is it?"
"Data, data on the black hole incident."

 

After the room situation was delt with Jess walked to her room before Locks could talk to her.
"Your right she is royally pissed at you."
"Hey Jet you want to go fight in that where house?"
"Sure. You need to blow of some steam?"
"Yep."
Locks and Jet walked out side and made their way over to the where house. The walked in and found scattered stealbeams and random pieces of scrap. They went to each side and got ready.
"Just don't hit my wound I won't be able to go all out."
"Deal if you don't aim for my hair."
"3. 2. 1. GO!"
Jet sprinted forward Forward wind surrounding his hands. He sent a punch at Locks but a chin shot out from the ground redirecting both the punch and the burst of wind that followed.
"Nice."
"Thanks."
A chain shot towards Jets ankles to trip him but jets legs were surrounded by a tornado and he lifted up into the air. When the chain hit the wind it was redirected. Jet backed off and sliced his hand through the air. This was followed by a visible gust of wind passing by locks head and slicing a metal pipe in half.
"Shit man."
"New move I was working on."
Locks turned part of the sliced pipe into chain amd it went up to his hand and spun around. It broke into many smaller chains and shot forward like bullets. The passed by Jet and pierced a beam leaving a bunch of small holes.
"Ok enough with the fatal attacks."
"Fine."
Locks grabbed a steal beam and turned into to a bunch of chain. He shot it at jet at a slow speed so it wouldn't hurt him. The chin reformed into the beam half way forcing Jet to dodge to the right. Just as Jet did that Locks shot two chains to the side of Jet piercing the wall. They stabilized them selves and Locks pulled on them. The chains pulled him forward at an insane speed. Locks yelled.
"CHAIN SLINGSHOT!"
Locks slammed into jet knocking him over on the ground and winning the training fight.
Jet stood up laughing,
"Hahahhahahaha! Bro did you just yell out your attack?!"
"Shut up it looked awesome!"
"The attack maybe not you yelling that out. They only do that in anime."
"Whatever."
Locks and Jet cleaned up the building and walked outside and back to their rooms to relax and wait for dinner.
OOTorry for not posting in a while I haven't had much to do or say. Also I give everyone permission to puppet me in terms of having them go to dinner and such or answering questions .

 

The Lucky Seven Hotel & Casino towered over the powerplant district of Kras City. Most people would find the building location to be odd. They would be right, the hotel was only a front to hide the abandoned labortatory underneath it. The lab would have ordered the hotel personal to keep Zenma and Leonard from ever entering the building (Or let them leave alive). However what they failed to realize was that Zenma took careful precaustions to populate the hotel with only his most loyal men.
The lab would never know one of their traitorious members was hiding out inside one of their own buildings.

Leonard was looking over the map that Zenma pulled out. It was there attack plan to capture Shapeshifter.
"So the plan is to lure Shapeshifter to that section of the sewer system where he will have no where to escape. When we see that he emerges from the large manhole we'll chase him back to the sewer and have a team waiting in that corridor. That's where I use my powers to learn where he put his passcard to abandoned lab. Is that right?"

It was a straightforward plan, nice, simple, and most importantly quite. They both agreed that chasing Shapeshifter through the city streets was liable to draw unwanted attention. This was especially true if he emerged during daylight. It's been a few days now since he descended into that hole. He was due to climb out moment now. Shapeshifter requires human skin to sate his hunger. His next meal could be tonight.

"Yes that's the idea. I want you and Slasher to head the team that cut's him off in that corridor. My team and I will chase him back into the sewers and lead him straight to you."

It was easy to forget Slasher was in the room. The man was an empty shell, a puppet to be ordered around by his superiors. When Zenma and Leonard left for the labs he was transferred to the hotel personal. Of course... the hotel was loyal to Zenma.

"Alright, let's take up positions." Leonard was thinking of a place to hang out
"I think I'll wait in a bar"
