Holding back a cold laugh Crispin and moved his arms overhead. “relax, I won't attack.” said Crispin just before he slithered a tendril down to cover his stomach, he exhaled final! His energy just returned, seeing the gun Crispin didn't get closer. He just stood there, and talked. “Now we're both smart fellows The Puppeteer, so let's help each other out and figure out who cause this explosion and why. This, haha. Clearly wasn't random.”

Crispin had finally calmed down he was in a dangerous situation so being calmed was perfect he could think clearly, and as Fink believed...All minds are weapons.

Bodies fell to the floor, felled like trees as Ravana continued to rampage through the chaos. Every single super killed was a step closer to the demon king gaining back full immunity, another obstacle that stood in his way of supremacy felled. A white cape was sliced in half by black smoking longsword as the formless face of the shadowy creature twisted into a what could be described as a smile. Each kill brought more assailants onto him, who he killed with a sick sense of enjoyment. Logan, underneath it all, revelled in the suffering that he was causing.

Amber eyes now whipped around towards a fight which he picked out of the crowd. Several inmates - identical inmates, clones, it seemed, fighting off two other supers. One who could seemingly make portals, and a demonic female appearing to help him. To Ravana, that was a solid target. He recognised the demon as a white cape, who he took the most glee in mowing down. The ones who imprisoned him in that jar were similar to their ideologies. A sick sense of self righteousness, believing that they should control everything.

Two hounds of shadow, snarling, vicious, formed at the sides of the demon king. Logan, underneath, set the command to go, and they rushed towards the sub-battle, determined to kill as much as possible, that sick shadowed grin forming back on the face of the monster, and sleek black claws hungry to pierce flesh.

Right when Titus was about to be attacked by the next 3 clones, the attack came to a halt as a 'new challenger appeared', showing that she was stepping in to help him. This was not what Titus had planned. First the brute and now this..this...demon girl? Whoever she was, she brought enough distraction to allow Titus to stand up with a knife, slashing the first clone's throat and moved to kill off the second and the third.

The original noticed the girl too Shit...not another... He said while the brute tried to catch her but with her agility, it made things a little difficult until he clipped her. Titus stood after she was sent flying a little. "Hey...Girl! I didn't ask for your help...you're just going to get fucked up." He said instead of giving her a thank you for her assist. The clone man stared at the girl, Titus and his brute friend. Yo...Big bob...finish her and that bastard with the mask and we can go about our business. You're stronger and your skin is tougher...they can't beat you. He told them before Titus smirked. "I might not be able to beat the big bitch by normal means but.." He reached in another formed portal to pull out a tactical shotgun. With there only being 2 clones left, Titus cocked his shotgun. "I can take you out just as easily.

Titus was about to finish this so he could deal with the brute and maybe the girl if she was going to be a problem before noticing something coming their way. 2 shadowing hound looking things that looked suspicious. "What the hell now?" Titus said in annoyance. Another interference? Maybe he was going to have to deal will everyone here now. First take out the annoying clone man, then the brute, unless the skilled demon girl was to take care of him first and now whatever this is...these shadows...maybe he needs to take care of them too. His reputation will go through the roof if he gets out of this alive.

As she picked herself up, she felt a bit lightheaded and dazed, not registering the sounds of people talking behind her. She snapped out of it once she felt the footsteps of the brute closing on her. She stood up, turning to face her opponent with bared claws. It was then she heard the pitter-patter of feet coming into hearing. She turned her head quickly, seeing a shadowy mass flying at her. Reacting on instinct alone, she ducked under its lunge.
She wasn't as lucky with the second one, barreling right towards her, forcing her to catch it. It jerked around violently, snapping at her with it razor black teeth. It was then she remembered the brute as it loomed right on top of her. Thinking fast, she spun her body around, throwing the thrashing hound right at his face. He let out a painful roar as the monster now bit and scratched at his head. She then heard the charging of the hound she had dodged earlier and, filled with anger and annoyance, balled her fist and batted the monster into the air, sending it closer to the gunman and the copy man.
She called her chain to her hand and began swinging it overhead. She let it loose, wrapping it around the brute's neck as it was still dealing with the hound. Planting her feet in the ground, she grabbed the chain with both hands and began pulling with all her strength.

"All right then, so what th-oh wait minute." Beth say when she see a black cape running toward her, she step back a little, rise her foot a little bit and make black cape trip and fall into the ground. "Sorry about that, so what the plan to put escaped prisoners to go back to your cells?" Beth ask

@sassy1085
"Hmm, well, I was thinking incapacitate them." He said and screamed at an inmate, sending him flying.

The demon king scowled slightly as he raced towards the scene. His hounds were not having the desired effect... But one meta human was definitely dead now, as the brute who's neck had now been chained up had a final killing crunch of teeth on his skull. The chain would fall limp as he died. Good. Every super killed was good.

His other hound snapped at clones, turning them to dust. Ravana would let it be as he finally reached the scene. He peered at the girl now dragging the lifeless body of the brute on the chain. He could sense demon in her. Not a full demon, almost watered down. Like a mutt. Then the other fighter. Masked man. No demon. Just a super. Perhaps the better target at the moment. He seemed distracted by the hounds.

Two large swords formed in the shadow beast's long claws, and as he walked menacingly forward, he scraped them together, creating black sparks on the ground. A clone tried to attack him which he quickly sliced up without much thought. Still moving forward.

@Thethomasink @King Tai

Seemed the girl could hold her own as she didn't answer Titus. He would witness her fighting not only the brute but these shadowy beasts that charged at her. With on on the brute and the girl summoning the chain to choke out the brute, seemed the combined efforts brought the brute down for good. This was pissing Titus off even more now that these others showed up ruining his plans.

Oh god....no...BOB!! Shit....I'm done....I'm getting the fuck out of here! The original said while seeing not only his friend getting defeated but a new person appearing and taking out his other clones. Now there were three people who have wiped out his created clones as several were turned to dust. Titus noticed this new individual appearing before them.

Titus noticed this menacing individual marching forward towards them using what he noticed to be...shadows? And he shape shifting them. This was going to get annoyingly dangerous. But then again...Titus smirked under his mask. If this was going to be an epic battle, he needed to rid the field of trash. Titus pointed the shotgun to his side shooting into the air as the projectile went through a portal while a few feet away from him in another angle, the original's head turned into a bloody mess with the shotgun blast went through the other side of the portal and connected to his head. "Yeah...your times up...an even bigger prey just showed..." As the original died, the rest of the clones disappeared. Titus spoke up. "Who the fuck are you....matter of fact...it don't matter...you wanna kill..so...come and try me..." cocking his gun ready to attack. He wondered if that demon girl was with this guy but how that shadow thing attacked her, seemed this could turn into a free for all.

@Thethomasink@Abyssal

As one problem ends, another begins. As the brute's body falls limp, she couldn't tell if the choking had killed him or simple rendered him unconscious, though considering his face was torn into by the shadow hound, it may be safe to assume he's dead. She wasn't that cut up about it. As she was calling her chain back though, she sensed another presence, a far darker one. Turning around, she saw a walking shadow, two black blades scrapping the ground behind it.
Though she didn't know the exactly what it was, she doubted it was here for altruistic reasons. It was closing in on the gunman, who seemingly finished off the copier. As she let out a low groan, she summoned her wings and leap over to them.

"Of course it's not random." Reid said, a slightly condescending edge creeping into his voice. "However, there's always the possibility that you're overthinking it. It could simply be a relative of an inmate, or even a former inmate, who wanted to get someone out of the jail." Reid holstered his gun. "Now, we should get out of here. It looks like we're starting to draw attention." Reid pointed to a White Cape creeping towards him. Reid reached out to the hero's mind, taking control easily. "Ah. How weak minded this one is." He walked over to his original body, taking the handgun out of the holster. He grabbed the gun, aiming at his head and pulling the trigger just as he went back to his original body. "Now," Reid said, back in his body. "Do you have a hideout in mind?"

Kaiba Blader

In a dingy one-room apartment, a middle-aged man groaned slightly as he got up from a chair that looked ready to collapse at any moment. A radio droned an endless rotation of music, and the lean man scratched an itch through coarse hair as he poured a cup of coffee from a pot that frankly had seen better days.

Kaiba Blader was not a young man. Not anymore. He'd been around before 'superheroes' had leapt from fiction to reality, and just as in those stories(or at least some of them), things had been nothing but trouble since. 'heroes' would emerge, only to have criminals or rivals show up, and damned if the whole thing wasn't getting on Kaiba's nerves by now. He stirred what was left of his sugar and cream into the coffee and had taken only a single drink before his attention was drawn by the radio changing to something distinctly not the top 40.

"We're getting reports of a massive explosion at the Meta-Human containment facility, sources say there is a breakout underway. Police are en route, but the facility is currently under siege by several Black Capes. Witnesses have spoken to a few White Capes also responding, but we have no solid idea which Capes are actually involved..."

Kaiba sighed and set down the mug as the report continued. Every day it got worse. Something had to give, and Kaiba feared it would be society to give first. Wearily, he began stripping off his regular attire of shirt and sweats and began donning his armor. The suit was a prototype, made evident by the frivolities of the half capes and the wolf-shaped helmet, but it was all Kaiba had, and it hadn't let him down yet. He checked and rechecked his equipment before casually yanking the window open, and leaping to the opposite rooftop, making his way quickly toward the facility along the generally unseen rooftops of Newcrest.

And hoped he wouldn't be too late to stop the madness.

The shadowed beast raised his two swords defensively, then spoke, in a raspy, emotionless voice that seemed to almost carry a wind behind it. "I am Ravana, the king of demons. Commander of the 87 legions of the Rakshaha. Slayer of Vishnu the protector. And you..." He pointed his sword in the direction of the gunman. "Are a mortal nobody, with a weak ideology."

The demonic girl suddenly glided over. He scowled with yellow eyes. "And you. Even worse. You're demonic, although not hailing from the part of the world I am from. You use your abilities to try and protect and aid humanity. But humanity is a disease, a weak plague upon a world made by gods.". Two more arms sprouted from Ravana's shadowed mass, bringing forth two more swords. "All meta humans will be purged. And you two are no exception."

@Thethomasink @King Tai

@Overlord24
"Ok, incapacitate them is a good plan but how can we incapacitate the prisoners at all once? Do we knock them all out until all the prisoners are all unconscious or do we tape some taser gun together, paralyzing all prisoners at once?" Beth ask Acoustic

Kaiba Blader

The further along he got, the worse the reports became. On top of the initial casualties from the bombing, now there were more deaths from the subsequent fighting. The police had arrived on the scene but were unable to get anywhere close to the place because of all the fighting. Several White Cape responders had evidently also been killed. He scowled, damned amateurs had no idea they walked into a deathtrap. What was more concerning, however, was the reports of some of the prisoner's deaths at the hands of a few White Capes. It was one thing to try helping, it was quite another to waltz in and start murdering folks. Kaiba's eyes narrowed inside his helmet as he leapt across a gap in the buildings.

He did not enjoy killing, in fact, he avoided it if he could. It was why he'd been selected in the first place. But he did not shrink from it when it was needed, and Kaiba had a sinking feeling that it may very well be needed when he arrived. He just hoped the reports were wrong....

Seeing the demon girl leaping over to him and this new challenger, Titus looked over to this 'Ravana' spouting mess that Titus really didn't care about. But...he seemed like the real deal even though he didn't know a damn thing about what this so-called shadow king talked about naming all the titles and such that he was. When he pointed to Titus and mentioned how weak and a nobody, Titus wondered if he's a nobody, why the fuck would he go through the trouble of introducing himself?

After speaking to the demon girl, Titus heard him mention that he was going to purge all met human. With his last statement, Titus pointed his shotgun and pulled the trigger letting off a round in the middle of the last statement. "Oh...my bad...you were still talking? I can wipe a monkey's ass on who you are. you wanna take me out so bad...do it then, bitch." He encouraged ready for this showdown. Seeing that this guy must control shadows, he wondered how badass he was. he figured the badder the better for his own rep of possibly stopping this guy despite not having anything truly offensive other than the human weapons he steals and the chanced borrowing of other's blasts and whatnot.

He spoke to the demon girl while keeping his eyes on Ravana. "I don't wanna team with you but this fucker talks as if we are beneath him. So..let's get this over with so we can go our separate ways..." pointing his shotgun to Ravana once again. Regardless of the tough talk, Titus needed to be careful. He had no idea what this guy could do just yet.

"Haven't actually gotten that far yet." Eli said as punched a black cape that was trying to sneak up on him. "Just punch them until the stop punching you."

"Gladly" She responded to the trigger-happy temperament before her, letting her chain down a few inches to get it length.
"Watch your aim and keep your distance." She told him. Even as she did, she wasn't all that sure how she was going to handle this thing. It wasn't a simple-minded hell beast or silver-tongued dealer, but a sentient killing-machine with a lot a power.

Before he could respond, she swung fast and wide, arching her whip to swipe at the shadow man.

Fink Nodded he had been overthinking; a problem his brother told him about. “I broke my older brother out because of this bombing.” he told The Puppeteer as he heard a White Cape creeping up on him, turning he saw no one. Fink smirked 'invisible huh.' thought Fink, he would have to rely on his ears, when he heard a fist cutting the air, tendrils just crushed the empty space until it leaked crimson onto the dirt and tendrils.

“Yeah. Just follow me.” He began walking southeast, headed towards a abandoned bar, Crispin had once found and stocked with beers, wines, ciders, and junk foods. It was a couple blocks away from the meta prison.

Ravana's senses picked up the whip suddenly coming his way and quickly manoeuvred to avoid the approaching weapon, the edge of the whip colliding with the tip of one of his swords, giving it a white crack which fanned out for a few centimetres. He hissed. "If you had any sense about you, then you would care what I am. But it doesn't matter anyway. You'll be dead before long. As will all of these.... metas... that serve as obstacles of what is to come..

Ravana glanced at his opponents - they were both long range. He must adapt. He lowered his swords, slightly, before the weapons cracked and segmented into long chain like forms, which he scraped against each other amber eyes piercing the two down, before he lunged with a snarl back at the half demon who had took aim at him. The gunman could be dealt with after.

Reid looked around warily, before falling into step behind the many-armed man. "I suppose since you know my name, I should know yours." He paused for a second. "Then again, maybe you don't want to. Either one is fine." He holstered his pistol, feeling safe enough to do so. Reid pondered taking control of the man, but ultimately decided against it. His electric baton began to feel like a burden as they walked, so he asked what every bored child asked on a particularly lengthy road trip. "Are we there yet?" He didn't like the looks some ordinary people gave them. Reid couldn't blame the citizens. Watching a man with several arms and another in combat armor walk by may be slightly more familiar, but it was still relatively strange.
