(Repurposed Dockside Warehouse, Sub-Basement, Laboratory Antechamber- roughly four hours prior to current events)

"...!"

Takeyama Akane would die twice in that room; first when Wei broke her neck, but life returned quickly to her from such a simple wound. The grogginess that always accompanied resurrection had just begun to fade when he descended on her.

Even she couldn't hold back the screams as he did his grisly work.

Finally, the man's muscles returned to normal, but his parting words were lost in a sea of pain as her vision again faded to white; only an odd warmth on her cheek remained as the torrent of blood consumed her.

Have your trinkets, then, Crimson Devil.


She would awake again but a few minutes later, after Wei Lung had left, trailing destruction in his wake; but it would take most of the next two hours to undo the macabre knot, between blacking out frequently and occasionally having to re-break something.

After resting for another hour (and several cigarettes), she staggered to her feet- clothes badly torn, and caked in blood- to leave the now red room; there was nothing left for her here, and her weapons had been swept away in the flood, to where only Heaven knew.

Did I buy enough time?

She wasn't surprised to see the laboratories in ruins, and called down a secret emergency lift to the surface. If the Beast Master had escaped, he'd certainly have gone to ground, and information was time-sensitive- she would attempt to contact him later, but for now she might as well have no leads.

Exhausted and hungry, Akane heads towards Central Park- only to be greeted by a raging inferno and screams of terror.

PTM recovered from the horrible pain and trudged down angrily to where the others were, stopping short when he heard the sounds of pitched battle. He took his 6th pebble out and snuck in, expanding it into a boulder when he took the final rush in and plastered the strange green-eyed man the others were fighting into the wall with it. Unfortunately, it would seem that the green-eyed man was extremely tough, as it only seemed to stun the surprised enemy for a moment and then as PTM came to the shocking revelation that he'd heard about this guy in the myths of the dwarve he had been workign for (apparently the man was a demon), the green-eyed man struck back, barely leaving PTM time to block with his stone, which cracked from the impact.

[Furtuka]

Zeox remembered what Peter had told him when discussing all the various projects he mentioned working on. At least one of them had to be effective against this guy
"Lets try to bring the fight towards the labs"

[Zako]

Wei Lung proceeded calmly through the labs, tendrils of blood dismantling various machines and placing certain parts inside a rope bag that Wei had in a pocket. He was pretty damn happy about his current circumstances, he had some valuable loot which was quickly totalling above 10 million dollars he estimated, he had a good time mangling Akane back in the previous rooms and he had even managed to partially protect a possible new ally. All in all, a good day.

As he paused to watch the dismantling of a cloning chamber, he noticed a large screen flicker to life in the back of the lab, showing an all too familiar face. As he walked quickly over to stand before the screen, Wei shook his head and clucked his tongue.

"Tsk tsk, Beast Master, I honestly thought you would have more interesting things in your labs. All I'm seeing is bought machinery from various labs. I highly suspect you didn't even MAKE any of this. Then again, I suspected as much from such an amateur like you. What's your excuse then, hm?"

[ShoesandHats]

Ulysses had heard of the current goings on through the television the newly inhabited house. They weren't around in his days. He heard about The Doctor, who had planned to set all biomass on fire to cleanse it of the plague that the chaotic demigod had brought about. "Sounds like a damned good idea to me!", he screeched, laughing heartily afterwards. He wanted to learn more about the heroes, see what kind of humans he would be up against if he chose to work with The Doctor. He floated over to the super-group's base down near the docks. He floated up to the door and slid through it, leaving a small layer of ectoplasm on it.

((Feel free to build off of this and continue without me as Beast Master.))

Underground Laboratory, 1 hour before 4:00 pm.

"You seem to be missing a lot. Have you ever heard of genetic manipulation? I've perfected it. I, Beast Master have created the perfect creature. With this research I can construct an army to raze this city to the ground. You can have your trinkets, I'm done with those. However it is a shame that you won't make it out of here alive. Ever since I created the Azrael I haven't fed it enough, that's where you come in." Beast Master pressed a button on a small remote. 3 pods began to raise out of the ground.

Mist poured out of the pods, and the creatures started to twitch. The creatures were all about 8' tall with scythe-like forearms, arched backs, a multitude of legs, and an elongated head.

"Good luck."

[jc6036]

"You, with the scarf. Does this, eh, peter have some sort of device to open a portal to Aetherplane?"

[Furtuka]

"No. I highly doubt he's ever even heard of it"

[jc6036]

"Then our best move at this point will be to send him back through the closest portal available, which would be the one in this facility." Jules stood up, and looked at Kine. "Hello Kilian. Still fraternizing with the humans, I see." " Yes. It seems that I have. . .grown attached to these mortal beings." You always were pathetic, Kilian." With that, Jules teleported away without a sound. "You, the one who said he saw the serpent. Can you sense it now?" All around him, Kine could feel Kilians form weakening. It was difficult to sustain an Aetherbeing's body with a human's metabolism.

[Zako]

Amazing... He really IS that bad...

Wei resisted the urge to facepalm, and sighed.

"Well, that settles it. You really DON'T know what you are doing. Do you realise just how many 'perfect beings' I have killed during my career? More than I care to remember, to be completely honest. And what criminal worth their salt would raze this city, this place of almost countless opportunities, to the ground? There is no point or profit behind that. The only real reason that you might do that is if you have completely lost it, and you don't seem that crazy, and trust me when I say that I know what crazy looks like."

Wei spared a quick glance to the creatures crawling out of the pods behind him before turning back to the screen.

"And you have made another mistake. You presume that I rely on luck. Do try better next time."

A tendril of blood slammed into the screen, destroying it completely, as Wei turned to face the creatures that were now standing and turning to face him, drool dripping from jaws filled with jagged teeth. He was unimpressed as he cracked his knuckles and blood flowed into his muscles once more. As perfect creatures went, these were one of the uglier ones. He wondered if they would look better without that overly large head...

[cerapa]

Arthur wondered to himself why he could only sense Jules, but not Kilian. Jules however, had left in the direction of the central park. In order to see what what was happening no doubt.
"Hes gone for now. Went in the direction of the central park."

[jc6036]

Kilians body slid back into Kine's back, leaving Kine standing there, looking woozy.

"For now, I need to rest. That transformation. . .made. .me. ti-"

Then Kine fell over, the transformation having wore him out. He would need to eat and rest. Taking on Kilians body any longer than that would have simply killed him.

[MonkeyHead]

I have had enough mythology for now. I am going to take back whatever those troops took. If someone could distract them, it would help. If not, then brute force will have to suffice instead of guile.

With that, Karl left. Karl gave the position of the SpecOps indicated by his suits intel updates a wide birth. He was heading for the loading docks, where he hoped to find some RIB's. If a suitable distaction was provided, he would arrive in advance of the troops. If not, he would arrive at the same time. Either way, he was determined to find out what they took, and how it could be used in the current situation.

[ShoesandHats]

As far as Ulysses could tell, there was nobody home. Maybe causing a little trouble would lure some of the heroes out? He didn't know whether he was up against anyone who could actually hurt him, being a ghost and all. They'd have to have some kind of spiritual power or something to that effect. Almost everything else had little effect on him. It still hurts, mind you, but much less than it would a normal person. He decided it was unlikely that any of them had some sort of ghost busters-esque device. He didn't want to draw too much attention, but to draw a superhero out, he would either have to find one or commit some sort of super-villainry. He sensed a large group of living things in an underground part of the docks. Many of them were hostile, or so it seemed. Sounded like a situation a superhero would get himself into. He floated through several walls, through a floor and several more rooms. Ulysses arrived at the chamber where Wei Lung was fighting creatures that Ulysses hadn't seen in his entire life and un-life. Hello...

((Please inform me if this post is valid. I didn't want to read 31 pages of text-wall, so I read the three-paragraph summarized version. Hopefully it was accurate.))

[Furtuka]

"I gotta go check on the park situation."

Zeox left the building and drove off on his bike
