Teen Titans: A New Erra

[Stryder]

The sun of Second City is setting, people are retiring to their homes as the cities night life becomes active as the city becomes alive, lighting up like fireworks, displaying all sorts of entertainment rainbowed with color, around every corner there is sure to be someone whether it be a kid or an adult. However despite all the fun and games in the city there was always some sort of criminal preying upon the innocent and stealing what was theirs. With the city's crime rate going through the roof, people were fearful of their own city during the night, people didn't know whether they would get robbed or murdered. The city's police force is trying to keep the streets safe, but most either were killed or quit due to the problems in the city, the few remaining try to make somewhat of a stand to restore peace and order to the city but it isn't enough, most of the sirens heard aren't police cars but ambulances rushing to save a life. This city is what some call home, others call it hell, but for Mason this is where he proves himself as a hero along with his allies Takoris and Aileron silencing the criminals of the city making sure that they do no harm to anyone.
Mason stands on top of his home scanning the city and listening for any sort of criminal activity. He thinks of all the events that transpired that brought himself, Takoris, and Aileron together, he wondered if they could even stand a chance against the upcoming threat, more help would be mutually beneficial, but he doubted there would be any others like himself and Aileron, though Mason would try to find them no matter how slim the possibility. Even so, Mason made a vow that he would protect this no matter what. Just two in a half more days. Mason thought to himself as he looked on towards the city.

Takoris, otherwise known as Viran to his friends Trent and Mason stood and watched through narrowed eyes as a small group of women laughed and joked with each other as they exited one of the nightclubs that second city seemed to be filled with. Although he had only arrived on Earth recently the previous planet he had lived on had had something similiar. In his experience, these places were bad news on both planets. People drank too much in them in his opinion and that made them prime targets for robbers and other criminals. In fact, if tonight's pattern of events followed the last few nights someone would most likely try and rob these intoxicated people or worse.

Sure enough, two men who were lurking in the corner of an ally next to the club pointed at the women as they walked towards one of the cars in the parking lot next to the ally. Viran watched as one of the men's hands went down towards his belt and he pulled some sort of firearm off his belt. Viran was taken aback for a moment. That wasn't a normal firearm. It looked as if it had been heavily modified...in fact, it looked like one of the firearms from the previous planet he had lived on.

But thats impossible. he thought. He supposed it was possible one had been in the ship he had arrived in but that ship had been destroyed weeks ago when it's power core had gone critical. How could one of these had survived the power core going up? He had checked the area a few days after the explosion...there had been nothing left.

Regardless...it was time to stop a crime.

He slowly got to his feet and jumped down from the small building he was on and landed between the women and the men with the strange firearm.

He slowly shook his head as the two men stepped back in shock. His apperance had this effect on people and he often used it to his advantage. The man with the unusual firearm attempted to get a shot off but Viran simply grabbed his arm and raised it so the shots were fired off into the air. He then used his other hand to rip the gun out of his hand as the second man ran at him with a knife. Viran simply smiled and brought his leg up into the man's chest and watched as he hit the ground with a thud and the knife fell out of his hand.

He was still holding the first man's arm as he heard the sound of an approaching police vehicle. He looked at the man and whacked him across the face. Not hard enough to kill him, but hard enough to knock him out until the police arrived. He turned around and looked at the women, one of whom was on a cell phone, most likely with the police staring at him. He smiled at them.

"Stay safe." He said as he climbed up a fire escape on the roof and jumped from the roof top of the building he was on to another one as he headed away from the scene of the crime.

Trent loved this City, but something about it always changed at night. Seeing the Cities nightlife from the top of a large building made it seem like a whole new world. He never used to go out into the city at night, he felt it much more peacful in the mornings and the air filled his lungs with euphoria as he would glide across the tops of buildings. But at night the streets changed and so did the people. criminals came out at night, but so did the heroes. He had only just recently become a hero. He had heard a gun shot from a mile away and his first instinct was to rush over to the scene. It was there he met Fracture, he took him into his lair, helped him control his abilities and turned Trent into Aileron. It was Fracture who also founf Viran when he crash landed on Earth and helped him escape his ship before it blew up. They had become a trio but it wasn't enough. there was talk about something big happening soon and that day was getting closer and closer. So far they had taken out a group of arms dealers supplying weapons not of Earth origin. But still, tehy we're no closer to finding the supplier.

fracture, Viran and Aileron stood a top a high story building observing the Cities nightlife. From down below Viran spotted two men holding up a group of women with a strange firearm. Viran jumped down and Trent focused closer with his enhansed sight. He focused his hearing to find if he was asking any questions but the man seemed to react to Virans apperance and started firing at him. Viran took care of the two guys in a matter of minutes. Trent didn't even have to consider jumping in to help his teammate he knew how strong he was. Trent saw Viran jumping from building to building fleeing from the scene of the crime, "It's for the best I suppose." He said to Fracture, "Police probably wont take any questions from a 6ft 2 Green Alien would they?"

[Ace the Kidd]

Sora stood on top of a fairly large building,abit confused what was going on down below. Could this be some kind of festival or a celebration?" What is this? i never in my life seen so many people getting alone like this? all the loud sounds and cries of enjoyment...it makes me feel strange,but a good kind of strange." The kistune girl than took a seat on the building and kept looking. Seeing all the people laugh and get alone was such a rare sight. Sora was more use to wars,killing,and sorrow. All thanks to her farther."I wish the kingdom of tears could be more like this..." she said with a smile. She wanted to go down there so bad,but didn't."They are all having a good time." Sora than leaned back and looked at the moon."Mom...i promised you i would protect this world from dad and i shall. I promised i would meet new friends and adapt to this world's ways..." Sora looked down at all the people and smile. A small breeze played with her hair like a child."And i shalll..."

[Rumiko]

Himiko was off the Coast Guard Base after deciding that she'd had enough of the new place she now had to call home.
Tonight she was experimenting with being a BAP which was hard to do at her father's former post.
She was dressed to excess her bling glittered all over her body which made her feel like true ghetto princess. None of it was real of course, in fact it amused her to think that because everything she was wearing was a manifestation of her shape shifting meant she was technically naked.

She spotted them before they moved even slightly out of the shadows, four guys that judging from their expressions were each debating robbing, raping her or both.

"Daam! Sweet meat don't you just look good enough to eat. Said the one she was beginning to think was the leader
His three followers did their weakest Beavis an Butthead laughs as they shoved each other like an impatient troop of baboons.

Himiko smile sweetly and tried out her new voice she'd been practicing
"Why should I even care if you're hungry, I don't see no ride.
You think Original Cindy wants to be seen with fools what got no car an likely no cash.
Now if you broke ass fools will just step off an let me be on my way then Original Cindy won't need to proceed to teaching manners to fools; feel me?"

"BITCH! You the one gonna learn some manners" says the lead tough grabbing her and dragging Himiko into the alley.
"We gonna party on that fine booty all night" says one of the thugs as he tries to tear her dress off and has the funniest look on his face when he realizes she now looks like his leader who seems to be holding his twin.

"Daam! I didin know you swung that way?"] says Himiko as she breaks free of the leader's grip

She shifting form once more this time becoming Vogue an alter ego she created to hide who she is when she's forced to reveal herself
"I remember asking you all nicely to leave me alone or I'd teach you some manners

Two of the thugs show uncommon common sense and try to run away, she's on them in three steps grabbing the back of their ppants beltlines. Pivoting on one foot while lifting the two squealing fools off the ground Vogue she throws them at their buddies knocking them all painfully to the ground.

First lesson, No leaving class without permission" she says with a laugh as she's on the four before they can untangle themselves

She slaps all four in a Moe Howard Three stooges slap
Second lesson when I say something you say "Yes Miss Original Cindy or No Miss Original Cindy"

When they don't answer Vogue slaps them all once more
"I ain't hearing no answer

The thugs all whimper out. "Yyyes mMisss Original Cindy"

Vogue grins as she enjoys her little game

"Now that's what Miss Orignal Cindy likes to hear.
You boys are learning

Third lesson, You will from now on treat all women an men with respect or you never know it might be me again an my remedial classes are tough

She smacks them all again which has them each saying Yes Miss Original Cindy

Vogue giggles enjoying teach the toughs a lesson
Some would wonder why she doesn't turn them all over to the police but she knows right now that would be useless as she has little or no proof of a crime.

Marry was walking alone inside the usual night club. Their security let her in without question or second thought. After all, a girl who is around the age of 17 wearing a bright red cloak and a black bustier couldn't possibly be dangerous and must be a "working" girl for someone in the club. It was dark and the music was some half-assed "custom" techno music. Lights flashed back and forth in all sorts of colors. Not even ten seconds after walking inside the doors of the club three men and two women walked up to the girl. The first man grabbed the hooded girl's arm and waved to the watching security guard, giving him the signal to turn around and act like nothing was happening. I suggest you let me go. After all, a pretty boy like you couldn't handle anything more than a ten cent prostitute. Said Marry before getting slapped in the face by the guy and still forcibly taken out of the club. The sky was dark and gleamed with very few stars whilst the only real light there was a dulled yellow light coming from the bulb overhead. She was now in an alleyway with the five. The grey brick walls surrounded her sides and the street not far behind her shown the lights of cars every now and then, but it still seemed rather bare for a city.

She got a good look at the five. The first was a Caucasian man, around the age of his early twenties in a leather jacket with metal spikes on it. The next was a Hispanic wearing a hoodie and holding a bat and the third was an Asian also wearing a black jacket and in his hands was a gun. The other two girls seemed to be Asian Siamese twins, both holding a glock pistol in their hands. " I remember you girl. Funny how you show your face again in this club of mine." said the man, still holding Marry still as she tried to squirm her way out. "And will ya look at that, I though you'd be tough after how you were talking a second ago. What's Wrong? I thought you said I couldn't handle?

Right when the man stopped talking marry stopped Squirming and started to laugh. "You really think you have everything under control, don't you?" Said Marry as she continued to chuckle. Quickly she grabbed the man's arms as she started to mumble to herself. The man yelled in agony as his eyes opened widely from the pain. Not knowing what to do the man with the bat swung it and tried to hit marry, only for her to release the man's arm with her right hand and shoot a blade of red mystical energy out of her hand which broke the bat. The other three were shocked on seeing their leader cry in agony constantly, but the horror continued as his skin was starting to get cut and blades of magic shot out of his skin in small bursts and mystical marks started to show upon it, slowly burning permanently onto his skin. Marry let go of the man and her eyes were starting to glow dark red and black energy as she looked at the others. Without a warning they began shooting. Marry laughed as she dodged side to side and casted her magic to stop the bullets with a small shield. With a quick jump she landed right between them, with some quick jabs and some more casting of spells she was able to disarm and severely wound the three, however when they were defeated Marry continued to laugh... The only thing heard was a flow of loud, torturous screams and cries for help.

Marry chuckled as she started to run out of the alleyway and into the streets. It was bare moments ago but after five minutes worth of running she was surrounded by people. She could feel that she was also being followed and thought that it was about time she had a good chase. "heh... This should be fun."

When the cops reached the crime scene, they found the three men in severely bad conditions in their own ways. On their backs was the name of a sin, Lust, Pride, and Envy, and under it was the word sinner burned onto them and they all were wounded, harmed and tortured in their own way. The two girls however appeared to be rather fine and even though they were bruised up, they could not complain but also did not wish to talk about what has happened to them other than saying that the girl's name was Red Sinna, and that she gave some useful advice and told them that they could have done a lot better. The two girls did not understand why Marry didn't harm them, but they were told that they were too innocent and that they should be glad for it.

Mason watched as Viran incapacitated the two men, being proud of the hero he had become in only a day. Mason turned in reply to what Aileron said to him. "I supposed your right Aileron, I don't think they'd have anything to say to Viran at all." Mason said to him. Mason eyed the streets as he noticed an oddly dressed person heading into a nightclub, a woman dressed in a red hood, something about her didn't seem right to him, he wasn't sure what to think. Soon after he saw the girl rush out of an alleyway as if to escape something, Mason was inclined to help the girl but soon after he saw her run and soon heard the sounds of multiple men crying and screaming in agony as if they had been in some sort of extreme torture, this sent a chill down Mason's spine as he had never heard anything like the screams and cries the men had in that moment, not even when he inflicted pain. He kept his eyes to the strange girl who was fleeing the scene and turned to Aileron. "That was...odd." said Mason. He thought something about this girl was off and he needed to know what it was. He began to jump from building to building following the strange girl. "Aileron, if you can hear me and I know you can, check down there take Viran down there also if you need to and go inspect that alleyway, I need to know what happened down there!" Mason ordered to Aileron as he chased the girl intent on finding out who she was and what she did to those men. What was she capable of and why did she inflict that kind of torturous pain on someone only to leave them alive were the only two questions in his head.

Trent watched as Fracture chances a girl with a red cloak through the City. He had seen how she had defeated those men but didn't know what to make of it. Didn't know if she was good or evil. "Copy that." He said to Fracture. Trent pressed against his ear activating a communication device. Fracture had made it after Trent destroyed his training robot, he was still controlling his powers and got a little carried away. Still Fracture wasn't too pissed about it an make these communicators so they could stay in touch. "Viran come in. Fun my position and Coe back we need to investigate".
There were sirens coming but still a few minutes away. With Trent's speed he could be in and out in no time. He leapt off the building and went closer to the men. The site discusted him as he saw the words sin, lust and envy scribed into their skin. "What kind of person could do this? Do they think this makes them a hero." Trent jumped back up to the roof just as the police were about to arrive and waited for Viran. "Hopefully Fracture will catch up to whoever did this."

[Lucius Cypher]

You would think that a town full of heroes would be enough to keep crime at an all time low, but than again, he's an black amorphous abomination, so what does he know about logic? So when he saw some gangs causing trouble for some festival goers, what was he suppose to do but break it up? And to do that, he gave them a warning shot; a frag grenade. His attack came out of no where; the cluster of people didn't have time to react when ti exploded, killing most of the gangsters, but also some of the victims as well. Oh well. "HALT CRIMINAL!" The black creature known as Arakune landed amongst the survivors, look at all of them at the same time even though his mask was only focusing on one. He counted about seven dead, four others injured, three alive. They were young people; hardly over the age of twenty. He thinks one of them might actually be sixteen. Well, he was seventeen, so age didn't really factor much into anything. "For disturbing the peace in this time of festivity, you will be punished to the highest authority of law; ME!" Lies, but it made Arakune laugh. The injured gangsters tried to escape, but he wasn't about to let them go unpunished. He lunged over them creating a large rack of ribs on his underbelly. The ribs where spread out and sharpen at the tip, so when he landed he trapped the gangsters in a cage-like place. From there Arakune began to stab the gangsters with a bone spike, emerging and stabbing one of the trapped evildoer before retracting into his body and going after another one.

After disposing of the bodies, Arakune continued his patrol. He lacked some of the tech other heroes had, but if there was anything he did have, it was luck. So when he was just flying around the city skies, he saw one of the many costumed heroes of the city. People call him Fracture. He seemed to be on the move, and not in a "just doing my patrol" move but a "chasing someone down" move. Who or why, Arakune didn't know, but he was willing to follow. Seemed interesting. Using his illusions, Arakune cloaked himself to avoid detection.

Marry continued to run. Dodging people, light poles, traffic signs, mail boxes and hell of a lot more. She was quite energetic and as fit as she could possibly be however she was only human and was starting to slow down, only for her to push herself harder to run faster. " What is it with this person? He's inhuman." Marry thought as she grabbed hold of a stop sign so she could make a quick sharp turn right. She knew the man was somewhere nearby but she couldn't sense where, only that he was there. She continued her way and ran across a cross walk as it was now pedestrian's crossing. A car screeched at it was trying to stop on the end of the crosswalk, Barely hitting Marry's hip as she jumped in the air to prevent it from forcing her under the contraption. Taking only a second of a pause after the car Marry only felt a slight pain on her side, and quickly checked to make sure there was no blood. Nothing, but possibly an internal wound or a bruise, and those could be dealt with later so after taking the short pause Marry rolled off the car and started to run again.

Due to the wound Marry was having an even harder time running, which forced her to run slower too. To make matters worse she could now sense a second being, one who's of far greater sin than the person who's been chasing her. She started to regain her speed as she now forced herself with the fullest power of the mind to continue running, even if it was against her body's wishes. Quickly she ran into a building that had a door left open. It had the occasional florescent lights and at times the flickered, the walls were a dull grey and the floor was tiled white in the hallway that she was now in. She no longer had to run, now she had to hide. She ran as far into the building, climbing the stairs till she lost count on the floor she was now on and started to run around for a few seconds before she decided to hide in a room and lock the door. Sadly this room was a boring office of some sort. Either way, Marry needed to regain as much of her lost strength as possible, and now she had at least somewhat of an advantage over the two.
