Experimentals

OOT- Hmm. I'll shoot you a PM about a character you or Locks can meet. I have made some changes to my plan though, I decided not to introduce a new character but instead one of my current ones.

 

OOT- All hail double post! *New* character guys.

Name- Flair
Power- Extreme speed, reflexes, and athleticism. She can also raise the heart beat of a person she touches. Prolonged touch results in a heart attack.
Age- Mid 30's, maybe early 40's
Appearance- Beautiful women with long red hair. Her choice of clothing can either be described as vary fashionable or borderline scandalous
Background- An escapee from the labs many years ago. She has an interest in what goes on in there and is apparently looking for someone.

The noise from outside Flair's home disturbed her from a beautiful dream she was having in her bathtub. It seemed someone thinks firing a gun this close to her home is a good idea.
It must be those young punks that have been stirring up trouble around here these days. I seen the way they look at me, perhaps it's time to show them who their messing with
Lately there's been rumors of a monster killing people in this part of town. That couldn't be true, it was probably those hoodlums. The only monster here was Flair. She still remembers vividly of the last time she touched a person. The old women she helped up from the street corner after almost getting hit by a car died of a heart attack the moment she laid hands on her and asked if she was okay. She mustn't forget how dangerous it was to touch someone, especially someone who may have heart issues.

:bang: :bang: :bang:

The gunshots rattled off somewhere nearby.
That's enough. What's going on out there?
Flair walked outside in her bathrobe to where she heard the gunshots. She didn't fear the bullets as much as she once had, she found that if kept at a long enough distance she can dodge machine gun fire.
There
It was coming from an abandoned building nearby. Tightening the robe's rope around her waist (well she wasn't completely indecent) she wandered into a scene from a bizarre movie.
In the middle of the room stood a ghostly pale figure with blood marks, a pile of dead school children, and a person with a robotic gun for an arm. At the entrance stood Flair in a bathrobe.

"I take it you guys aren't filming a movie now are you?"

Whatever was going on here, Flair braced herself for a possible fight
OOC- Here you go @The_Lullabye I'll play along.

 

"Umm locks who is this girl?"
"Well I was going to find out tomorrow at our meeting but since hes so eager ill just ask Xavier."
Grace crouched down to match the height of the girl.
"So, Loot. Are you going to be staying with us?"
"Yes"
"Grace lets go she'll follow us back. We need to get you into training so you can control your new ability."
They walked through the city and entered the labs. Once they made it to Locks room he had grace bring loot into the living area so he could be alone for a sec.
"Xavier. What the hell is that."
"A legion. There are thousands just like her. Rektor is moving a large group to this area. From what I know their putting you in charge of them for now. My best guess is the sudden drop in is a trial run to see if your capable or not."
"So what do I do?"
"Just ignore it for now we can talk to Rektor tomorrow."
Locks pulled huiself out of his desk and walked back into his room. In there he found Grace cooking and Loot standing in a corner motionless with not an ounce of expresion on her face.
"What are you doing?"
"Just some dinner. I'm making porkchops what do you want on the side?"
"Let me rephrase. What do you think your doing. I was bringing you downstairs to train."
"Oops. Lets just eat first."
"Fine."

OOTorry for not posting recently I've had some stuff going on

 

OOC: Here we go, time for us to have some fun

The elevator reached the bottom floor. Zach heard the ping of the elevator coming to a stop, and it opened slowly. Zach stepped out into the hallway, and it creeped the hell out of him. Only the emergency lights were on, and it was dead silent. He remembered the map of the place, and from what he could tell, the hallway would lead them to a common area, and the room with the server would be a bit further beyond it.

Looking around, the hallway seemed to be in decent shape. Zach expected it to be a bit more deteriorated, and have some signs of aging. As he kept walking, he noticed what seemed to be some plant growth in a few places, but that was normal since there were some damp places around. Then he stopped dead in his tracks.

“Claus, I hope my eyes are not playing tricks on me, do you see what I’m seeing ahead of us?” Zach pointed, and even with just the emergency lights on, he could see vines and roots growing all over the place as the hallway continued. Something was going on, and Zach was sure it was not normal. Then something dripped next to him on the floor, and he heard what sounded like a sizzle. He looked over, and right next to him was a hole about the size of a quarter. Zach looked up, and saw what looked to be water dripping down, but with that hole next to him, he knew it was acid.

“Yeah, there is something down here with us.” Zach said, and just as he did, he felt something wrap around his arm, and start tugging at it. It was a vine, and it was trying to pull Zach towards it. Zach grabbed the vine, and using his metal claws, ripped through it.

Zach suddenly heard a strong growl, and the vines and roots started to shake. The room was coming alive, and Zach did not like it one bit.

“Yeah, we have company down here. Claus, you ready to take this stuff down?”

 

Claus shrugged slightly as he stared down the local flora.
"As ready as I'll ever be to fight giant, overgrown plant life, I suppose. But I'll need to borrow something of yours if you don't mind."
Saying this, he lightly touched the blade on Zach's arm but to his surprise, it wasn't something he could copy perfectly.
"Hmm...that's odd. I suppose I can't make an exact copy since that blade is such an integral part of your ability. Still, I think I can make something similar to it."
He touched a nearby wall and metal began to form around his hand. He formed it into a rough single-edged blade with a leather handle, similar to the size and shape of a machete.
"It will have to do."
Just then, a pair of large, bipedal Venus flytraps turned around the corner, making odd hissing sounds as they approached.
"Let's move as fast as we can. Chances are good that this will only get worse as time goes on. If I had to guess, I would say that something went horribly wrong during one of their experiments and this whole area may very well be infested."
He switched his new weapon to his left hand and pulled out his gun. He fired multiple shots at both of the plants which seemed to inflict a fair amount of damage, although it was difficult to tell since the plants have no discernible weak points to shoot at. When his clip ran dry, he looked back to Zach for a moment.
"Let me take these two, I need to conduct a little experiment of my own."
He put his gun away, switched the knife in his right hand again and charged at the Venus flytraps. He stabbed the closest one in its "head" and slashed at it a few times. The plant collapsed to the floor and showed no more signs of moving. The other was just about to wrap itself around Claus, but Claus took the opportunity to stab the roof of its "mouth" multiple times. The creature cried out in pain and Claus delivered the finishing blow; a hard slash across the torso. The creature writhed in pain for a few moments, then collapsed to the floor and died. Claus looked back to Zach with a satisfied smirk.
"Not bad. It should work nicely for now."

 

:Ring: :Ring: :Ring:
The cargo elevator made it to the bottom floor. Leonard and the rest of Zenma's team quickly made there way out of the elevator and sent it back up. No point risking one of the intruders escaping back via this way
Or one of those monsters either

"Alright listen up! A group of adventureres have already made there way into the underground. What they don't know is that we are in position ahead of them. We'll enter the lab from our side and set up a barracade in the mess hall as planned. It's a critical position since it leads to the various points of the labs. Any questions?"
The team was set and they made there way into the labs.

 

Syn saw the woman standing in the doorway. A box outlined her with a ? and her weapon went safe automatically. The Ghost before her turned at the woman's words.
Dammit! If that idiot was anywhere else! This was the perfect opportunity to put the creature down. But with the woman standing directly behind it, her system wouldn't allow her to fire.
"More food?" Ghost asked. "Or are you another enemy?"
"Get out of here! You're in my way!" Syn shouted. Dammit! Bringing her arm back to normal she charged the creature, drawing the blade from her belt she prepared to end the thing's life. If it was possible.

"Master Locks." L001 said as they were eating. "I am programmed with various combat scenarios in mind. I believe they might come in handy for the training you would like to start."

 

Stalk's feet rang off the floor as he strode across the floor, looking for what he knew he would probably find. The plants around him lashed out - but as soon as one touched him, they all recoiled in disgust. "My apologies if I don't weep for your distaste," Stalk said bitterly as he neared a very large control panel, which contained the shutoff switch for the elevators - one look into that darling receptionist's mind and his fingers were typing in codes he didn't know he now knew.
But before I do any of that...
He rammed a button that caused the gears to screech, which he used to send a quick text while no-one could overhear him and if he was being watched through the cameras people would assume he'd pressed the wrong button or something. Then he turned off the noise, shut down the elevators, ripped out the wiring then moved off to join the others.

Throne received the text, looked down at it, sent a quick one of her own then looked up at Leah. "That's absolutely fine," she smiled. "If you want anything, just call me. I'll be monitoring their progress."

 

"More food? Or are you another enemy?"

The pale figure turned to face Flair. She looked like a ghost. It looked as if she was judging meat at a market and it was highly unnerving.

Gun arm girl yelled out from behind ghost girl "Get out of here! You're in my way!" She returned her arm back to normal and pulled out a combat knife.

Flair back flipped up to higher ground, landing gracefully atop a garbage mound where a pipe stuck out. Safe from the ghost's reach, ghost girl turned back to see a knife bearing down right at her.

"Watch out!"

 

OOT: Is watch out for Ghost or Syn?

Ghost didn't move as the blade sank deep into her chest. The young girl began to seize before falling to the ground, lifeless. Syn stared at the corpse for a few moments before wiping off her blade and sheathing it. SHe let her system go back into passive mode and looked up at the woman.
"I guess I should thank you. If you hadn't distracted her, I don't know that I could have finished her off." Syn said.

It had been a long time since someone killed her last. Heart knitting back together, Ghost waited for her circulatory system to restart before getting to her feet.

 

OOT- Oh didn't think it would matter. That was to the ghost girl.

Too late, the pale girl got stabbed right through the chest. She froze up and then then slumped to the ground lifeless.
"I guess I should thank you. If you hadn't distracted her, I don't know that I could have finished her off."

She sheathed her knife and looked up to where Flair was perched. Hiding her nervousness Flair spoke with as much authority as she could muster
"You! Who are you and why did you kill her? Answer carefully, I don't want to call the authorities"
As if she would. That would require her to get in physical custody of the police.

Before anymore could be said the fallen girl who took the lethal stab rose to her feet. Surprised, Flair pointed at the rising body.
"Looks like she won't be killed that way."
A thought crossed Flair's mind. The gun arm women could have easily shot through the both of them but instead chose to attack the pale girl in close quarters. An odd thing to do considering the heartless murders around the area.
Conscious that one of these people may have been responsible for the murder of the school children and others around this area, Flair felt confident she know who was responsible.
"I can help if you so desire"

 

"I'm not supposed to involve civilians in my mission," Syn said, bringing her combat routines back online, "But if you think you can help... I'll take whatever I can."
"Dying always makes me hungry." Ghost said with a bored tone. "Are you gonna keep trying to kill me, or can I go eat lunch?"
"I can't leave here until you're finally dead. Those are my orders." Syn said, preparing her close combat weapons.
Ghost readied herself to counter Syn. Without turning her head, Syn spoke to Flair,
"I'll do the most of the fighting. Do what you can, but please don't get hurt."

 

"As if any of you could even touch me"

Flair leaped across the room and landed opposite side to where the ghost girl was standing. They now had her flanked front and back.

"Hey dead girl, yeah you"
The ghost girl turned her head and looked with hungry eyes at Flair.
Right then and there Flair untied her bath robe and stripped in front of the two women. Good thing there were no men in the room. Testing the strength of the rope and it's length Flair determined it was satisfactory for what she had in mind. She put it in a special knot meant for catching cattle and braced herself for what the ghost would do.
Ghost girl, probably determining that Flair had a harmless weapon turned back to her other adversary and prepared to strike at the women with the knife.

That was a major mistake. The very moment she turned her back to Flair, she tossed the rope around the girl's neck with great precision and yanked it to tighten the noose. The ghost girl stumbled a bit by the surprising feel of a rope around her neck.

"Now's your chance! I'll tie the other end so she won't escape this place!"

Using her speed, Flair kept a safe distance from the ghost as she struggled to fight off the bind that was forced on her.
Now she had to find a safe spot to tie the other end.

 

"I stabbed her in the heart." Syn said. "And she just stood right back up." The Ghost fought against the noose and clawed at it, leaving bloody marks on her neck and face. They healed a few seconds after they were created, but the blood remained.
Syn hopped forward and stabbed the blade into the girl's belly, levered the blade up and down to widen the wound then stepped back as blood and the ends of intestines poked out. Slowly it knitted back together. This was followed by the Ghost's stomach grumbling.
"I really need to eat now." She complained.
"I don't know if we'll be able to kill her." Syn said. "Please bind her, I'd like to take her back to the base with me."

 

Flair found a nearby pipe on the ground and tied a complicated knot around it while the ghost girl was preoccupied.

Ghost girl got stabbed again, miraculously her wound healed as she complained about hunger. Attempting to lunge after her assailant, she was violently yanked back by the rope around her neck.

"What?"

She tried to yank the rope free but didn't have the strength to do so. Then she tried to untangle the knot but it's complicated weave required delicate fingers, something the pale girl seemed to struggle with.
"So hungry"
Her apparent frustration showed on her face.

Now that she was tied down in place, Flair could now set the finishing touch.
"Well that would hold her for now. Hey knife girl see that sack next to you? Toss it over here and help me put her in it. People around here might view you as suspicious if they saw you dragging some pale girl around with a rope around her neck."

Well not as suspicious as having a gun for an arm but Flair kept that to herself.

 

Turning towards the pipe, Ghost began to gnaw on the rope.

Picking up the sack, Syn threw it over Ghosts head, then had to fight like hell to get the rest of the girl in the bag. It wasn't going well. Thankfully her cybernetic enhancements gave her the upper hand in strength.

 

"Lucky for us the sack can be closed with it's own rope. See? Just tighten it here."
Flair walked over, careful not to touch the women. After tightening the rope around the sack, the women with the knife cut off the rope sticking out of it in order to get a good secure closure of the sack. Now the ghostly girl was trapped inside, safe for carrying around. If hundreds of pounds of food stuff wouldn't burst it then it was unlikely the girl will either.

"Well then, I must admit I never captured a person like this before. I like to be more direct if you know what I mean"
Flair shamelessly propped her bare chest out. She either forgot or didn't care that she was completely in the nude.
"The names Flair. I work this part of town."
Flair put her hands out to shake hands but then thought better of it and turned around to pick up her bath robes.
"So whats the story gun arm girl?"

The ghost girl could be heard struggling in the large sack.
"Shut it! Can't you see we're trying to have a conversation here?"

 

Ghost grumbled to herself but stayed quiet. It would be easier to chew her way out when it was least expected.

"The story about what?" Syn said without looking at Flair. Naked people, regardless of their gender, made her kind of embarrassed. Being at the age where her body was still developing, well not anymore but it had been before cyberization, her mind was hyper sensitive to nudity. "I'm sorry, could you, ah, please put some clothes on?" She asked, her face getting redder.

 

Flair picked up the fallen bath robes and covered herself. Why that would matter now hardly made any sense to Flair. Guess her beauty still manages to embarrass people even without the physical touch of her powers.
"Who are you and who is that girl? You with that gun for an arm. Her with surviving knife stabbings. I don't think you people are from around here."

Flair had the sinking feeling that this girl could definitely be a hunter from the labs. If that were true then the ghost girl may have been her target. Flair is presumed dead, at least that's what all her sources tell her. She has successfully evaded the lab personnel for many years now, not daring to interfere with them.

She may have made a mistake coming here. If this girl reports a women with superior speed to her supervisors...
No calm down. It's my reflexes AND blood pressure abilities that make me unique. She only knows half.

"Well? Mind telling me what you are doing here or are you going to play dumb?"
