Zed rampaged through structure and structure, his rage has been sapping his sanity away. Suddenly, a voice called out from near him... a woman... She had a shield of light, and from the looks of it, she's willing to use it.

Who was this woman? Did he know her? Is she an enemy? Suddenly, a burst of rage surged inside Zed. "Kill her. Kill her. Kill her. Kill her. Kill her. Kill her now."

Zed arched forward and lunged himself at the woman. His blades sliced through the air as it collided with her shield, making only a scratch in the process. Her shield was extremely durable, this the demon knows. Zed backed away as he tumbled in the air and remained still, his eyes glowing with anger.

"Stop hurting me... stop hurting me... stop hurting me.. stop hurting me... stop hurting me!" Zed roared as his back began to bulge... He again lunged at the woman at full speed but when he was a few inches away from her, the woman's face eroded his insanity.

A warm aura that helped him earlier that day... Zed's sanity was snapped back to reality. He suddenly stopped and dropped to the floor. Tears began to drip from his eyes as his arms and legs returned to their normal form. As his condition calmed down, Zed dropped to the floor writhing in pain, the feedback had started.

"Don't... look... at me... You must be disgusted at me right now. I let my rage slip away. Leave me here." Zed mumbled as he convulsed with pure sensations of pain within his arms and legs. The painful sensations subsided as Zed just laid there on the ground, lashing at himself for the carnage that he never wanted to happen, but in the end, happened anyway. "Go after the woman... she is dangerous..."

(Won't be back until late afternoon :)) Cheers!)

Getting off the train, Eddy watched among the crowd of horrified onlookers as the metahuman Abaddon tore out Obliterate's innards. Disappointing,he was going to kill Obliterate next, it looked like someone did the job for him. Quietly he broke off from the crowd and pulled out a pre-pay cellphone. He dialed a number and brought it up to his ear. He heard a click on the other side signaling someone had answered. "Obliterate is dead, how do I proceed," he said as he turned back to look at the distant figure of Abaddon who had just killed Obliterate. Previous damage around the area seems to fit Obliterate's capabilities. Aggression of that level is not normal, Abaddon's retaliation was to be expected but there was something wrong with how Obliterate had been acting.

The voice on the other side answered, "Kill heroes, each hero you kill will earn you a fortune." A click signaled the receiver had disconnected. Eddy crushed the phone beneath his heel and threw it into a garbage truck. The game had begun.

Niesha didn't move as Zed came at her. Instead, she lifted her sheild to defend herself, putting her weight behind it so she wouldnt be thrown back. As the blades striked her shield, she leaned back, weathering the hit. She didn't move as Zed came at her again, her face was a mask of determination. She waited for the blow.

no hit came. Zed fell to the ground. Niesha lashed her sheild to her back, it had taken a lot of light to create that shrild, and it would still be okay for a while. She did however let the ball of light disappear. She stepped closer, knelt, "oh, Zed" she whispered, voice full of concern.

"Don't... look... at me... You must be disgusted at me right now. I let my rage slip away. Leave me here."

Niesha shook her head, "I knew you weren't going to hurt me" this wasn't strictly true. She had been expecting to be hurt, but she would have done what was nessacary to stop him. She was glad it didn't come to that.

"Go after the woman...she is dangerous"

Niesha nesitated, reached out a hand, resting it on his shoulder, she sent a small wave of healing light, not sure what it would do, if it would even help, but she knew she wouldn't just leave him here like this, "I'm Niesha.
I'll go after her"

She stood, looking down the corner where the woman had been

Abaddon hissed as he grabbed Obliterate's corpse by the head, claws extending to embed themselves in the skull to allow Abaddon to get a better grip before tearing off the head.

"For extra measure..."

Abaddon soon began to devour the body, relishing the taste of blood and flesh until all that was left was mostly just bloody bones. Abaddon rose up from his meal and looked around, observing the fearful onlookers.

"He killed Obliterate!" Some of them remarked, hints of disbelief and anger in their voices.
"That 'hero' deserved it, he was going to kill us all!" Others responded.

Abaddon growled and lashed out a tendril and used it to swing away from the area and onto the side of a building which, while partially ruined, was still sturdy and repairable.

"Something was up with him, obviously. What the hell is going on today? Starbird dies and it's like the whole world goes insane.... on that note... who killed Starbird anyway?"

Hawk had been so busy trying to stop the bomb he had only come across the brutal murder of Obliterate. Lovely. Everyone had gone bonkers. There was no way he was getting involved but he did anyways. He flew so he was just out if tendril range but close enough to talk to Abbadon.

"So now we are murdering heroes are we? You are suppose to be a good guy right ? Somewhere in the middle? Not a raving... Let me rephrase that. Sorry bit flustered watching you eat a man whole. Not something one sees everyday. " He said clearing his throat. "Why did you brutally murder a hero? Starbird's brother no less. The guy we could have asked for help in solving the murder. " Hawk asked looking rather confused.

"Are you blind?!" Asked Abaddon as he motioned with his arms and tendrils to the area around him.
"This so called hero is responsible for the destruction you see here. He was apparently convinced I murdered Starbird and was literally tearing the place apart looking for me."

The Red Huntress hid behind the wall next to The Black Arrow as bullets were shot their way by the robbers in the area. that were armed with machine guns, she was helping him because she needed something to do. The Black Arrow took a look towards the Research Facility that the robbers had just robbed before turning to The Red Huntress. "Red, they are currently no longer shooting at us and have taken a reporter hostage along with her cameraman. It looks like they want to say something on live TV. You climb up on the roof of the building and cover me. I'll try to get in there and get to the reporter. Red nodded and climbed up the side of the building using a pipe until she reached the top. Once she got onto the roof she took aim and began to cover Black Arrow's back. She also watched as the camera light turned red saying they were live. The main man behind the robbery threw his arm around the woman reporter who looked scared to death. Her took the microphone and began to speak loud enough that she could hear.
"Good morning! This is your new reporter, RedRum!" The man called RedRum began laughing hysterically. "I have a new special for you! It's called watch your old reporter's brains get blasted out!" RedRum began laughing even more as he dropped the mic and pulled out a pistol putting it against the reporters head. Red Huntress looked over to Black Arrow who was currently taking on about 10 henchman and handling himself pretty well but not well enough for him to save the reporter in time. Red Huntress turned back to RedRum who was still laughing hysterically as the reporter was sobbing.
"Remember Red Huntress, remember what the league has taught you about being the good guy. Stop the bad guy but don't kill them and save the innocent." As Red spoke to herself she notched in an arrow that she had just tied a rope to. She quickly tied the rope to a brick chimney and she shot the arrow after aiming carefully. Red Huntress' arrow hit the gun knocking it out of RedRum's hand and then dug itself into the side of the building. As RedRum followed the rope up to where it was shot a foot kicked his face knocking him backwards. Red released her bow from the line and did a flip landing on the ground in a kneeling position. She looked up her blue eyes glaring daggers at RedRum. The whole time this happened the reporter escaped and the cameraman continued filming the fight. RedRum charge at Red Huntress and threw a punch. She ducked and punched his stomach a few times before he caught her hand on one. He began to twist her arm and hand in an uncomfortable position. He did until a hooded man in black hit him in the head with a black steal bow knocking him unconscious. Red Huntress rubber her shoulder where it was now sore and looked at Black Arrow. "Thanks," She said looking up at him. "No problem kiddo!" He said with a laugh before ruffling her hair a bit and putting his arm around her shoulders turning them towards the camera. He gave the camera a wave and a smile while she just looked at it with an emotionless face. When the police came the last thing that the camera saw after the police thanking the two hero's was a flash of black and red as they both shot an arrow disappearing onto a rooftop.
Red Huntress slipped into her bedroom through the window and changed into ripped old black skinny jeans, black combat boots, a black sportsbra, and a loose fitting, slightly seethrough red top that showed some of her stomach. She let her hair down then put it up into a messy bun. Hayley put on her necklace that was a black metal with a black arrow encrusted with little rubies that she had gotten from her brother on her fifteenth birthday. Hayley walked into the living room/kitchen and grabbed herself an orange cream soda before plopping down onto the couch beside her brother Jay. She looked at the television to see the movie Men In Black playing. She smiled and looked over at Jay. "Is that your favorite movie I see playing?" Hayley asked in a teasing tone that she has only used with her brother. "Yeah. I missed some though when I flipped over to the news to watch you fight." He said smirking at her. "You suck at hand to hand combat Gretel." Jay added smirking even bigger now. "Well at least I can shoot a bow Hansel." Hayley and Jay laughed and went back to watching the movie. As the movie ended Jay stood up stretching out. "I have to go to work now but I'll see you tonight" He said walking out of the apartment in the 6th part of the Arcus district. Hayley stood up and walked out of the apartment as well, walking around the small extremely run down area that she lived in. Just looking around to see if anything would happen.

(sorry double post /: ignore this one)

After his confrontation with the hero at the bank Peraon was quite put out that they weren't able to play more. He dropped the man he had and walked to the door. "Aren't you going to take any money?" Someone called from the crowd.
"Ha, no." He replied unlocking the door. "If I wanted to do that it wouldn't be so obvious." He looked down and found a hat in the hands of one of the people lying on the ground and took it. "Consider it a trade." He said as he took off his trench caot and set the fire bombs next to the man. "Be careful." He instructed as he put on the hat and walked out. As he reached the bottum of the steps he turned and began walking away from the explosion down the street. Police cars turned the corner and stopped infront of the bank. One of the officers asked him to stop and turn alowly, but when he did Persona was already in a different form. He had black hair and a vacant expression on his face. (Form 1)
"Yes officer? Is there a problem?" He asked
The officer seeing that this young man was not the peraon they were looking for. He only asked Persona, who took on the name Jordan, to stay for questioning. After the scene was taped off and the people were let out Peraona was let go and he made his was to a local coffee shop down the street a ways.

As soon as Katherin installed the police scanner into the Ladybug she heard there was another commotion. Something about one hero killing another. Which didn't make sense to Katherin, but sounds like a story in action. Quickly Katherin steers her little Voltzwagon through traffic she wanted to get to the action before she missed anything else. The nice thing about having a small car was the ability to easily navigate through dense traffic. Traffic was particularly crazy today. Katherin wondered what had caused the world to go crazy today. Katherin arrived on the scene just as guy yelling at a guy with tendrils. Well this was definitely interesting. Katherin looked for a way to get closer so she could see and possible hear what was going on.

Krein said
"Are you blind?!" Asked Abaddon as he motioned with his arms and tendrils to the area around him."This so called hero is responsible for the destruction you see here. He was apparently convinced I murdered Starbird and was literally tearing the place apart looking for me."

"Calm down dude. I came over and saw you eating a guy. I thought you had done something. At least we got the bombs. " He said looking down at the scene below. The crowds were gathering. He really should be back to Helios City. Or Sector one. But he had to investigate. "Abbadon we should work together on this. Someone is killing Metas. We might be next. We need to stick together. I might not always approve of your methods but you get the job done. I am heading back to Sector One. I have to check something. " He said before he noticed a woman trying to listen in. ((Katherin)) "You know its rude to listen into other people's conversations. What do you need?" He asked descending to her level.

"A million dollars." Katherin answers with a bright smile. "I don't 'need' anything. Simply curious as to what is going on." Katherin decided to play a clueless college student. "The world seems to have gone crazy. I was just wondering if either of you have any information on what is happening. I wasn't ease dropping so much as waiting for you to finish your conversation. I was trying to be considerate."

Hawk looked at her. "Starbird is dead. yes that one. He was killed today. Somone blew him and his wife up after shooting them dead. That is what is going on." He told the woman. "You got a name sweetheart?" He asked curious as to who this woman was. It took guts to walk up to two rather powerful heroes.

She was home free- No wait scratch that, she was now under the wrath of a guy with mutated abilities. Perfect. And now here he was charging right at her in great speed with lethal looking bladed arms. With only her quick thinking intuition she created a few copies of the dark skinned lady with a poodle while she herself morphed into the illusion of a little boy holding the hand of his panic stricken mother who was quickly leading him away from the brutal scene.

Looking back MindWarp saw that the spunky lady from this morning was trying to calm down the mutated guy. Zed? That’s what she thought she could hear the lady calling him and it looked like she had powers of her own. The lady was successfully moving Zed's focus away from MindWarp and to herself. Thank you Miss Spunky. MindWarp thought, giving the lady a nickname since she didn’t know what her name actually was. Although it was probably now a name that would stick even if she found out the ladies name.

"Most people have a name. I have yet to met anyone without a name. My name is Katherin Winter. What about you? Do you have name?" Katherin asking as she innocently twirling her red hair around her finger. As long as she unthreatening they might give her more information.

Abaddon recognized the girl named Katherin as the red head from the coffee shop earlier today. Seems like she was trying to take up on that freelancing reporter role, but he was nonetheless suspicious of her. She was acting to "ditzy", behavior much different from the girl at the coffee shop. Letting out a forked tongue, Abaddon took in her scent and listened closely to her vital signs with the symbiote's aid.

"#Obviously lying and playing dumb, but she doesn't seem to be much of a threat otherwise. I doubt she's working for anyone, but you never know..."

Abaddon spoke up.

"Ugh, just drop the act, it doesn't take much to see through that 'clueless blonde' disguise," he hissed. "No matter, what Hawk says is true. Seems that this part of Arcus has gone to hell, I wonder how the other sectors are doing..."

Jacque ran along the rooftops of district one, leaping and rolling whenever the situation called for it, but ultimately staying along the same route. It was nearly time to pay the rent at his apartment, and while he had more than enough money to pay for it and for things such as groceries, it wasn't enough for him to pay for rent, groceries, AND buy that nintendo controller coffee table that he'd been eying for the last three weeks, which meant it was time to play robin hood, only with a lot less giving to the needy. Jacque had to admit though, he was surprised that no one had bothered beefing up their security systems with all the the burglaries he'd pulled off. "Guess the good ol' folks of district one can believe something could ever happen to them. Pff, lotta' good that thinking did them." the young criminal snorted as he shifted the duffel bag strapped to his back. He'd already struck five houses, but that didn't mean he couldn't snag a few more loose pieces of jewelry or help himself to the rainy day money in people's safes, after all he might want that funky little rocking chair bed he's seen online. Jacque wasn't quite sure if it was all that comfortable, but that was besides the point. He wanted it god damn it! The boy stopped on top of a house with just the things he was looking for: No car in the driveway, tucked a tad bit away from the others, and most importantly, a skylight. Jacque quickly unscrewed the cap on his camel pack and smirked as water pour out and floated up to where his left arm would be, then shaped it into a makeshift arm, "Oh the price you poor bastard's will pay for aesthetics." Jacque chuckled as he slipped his liquid appendage into the cracks and wrenched the window open enough for him to slip in with his bag. It was only when he dropped in however that he heard the ever so infuriating sound of a burglar alarm being activated, "Aw hell. Caution to the wind then". He didn't have much time, so Jacque forwent the formalities and tore through the house for anything valuable, then kicked down the door and sprinted down the streets as fast as his legs would carry him. Already he could hear the sirens close by.

(Miss spunky? Can't stop laughing)

The thing was, illusion could change your appearance, yet it could not change your aura. Niesha shifted, and started down the street, slinging the shield off, forming another light ball "I'll be back"
She said to Zed over her shoulder, and jogged down the street.

She scanned the street, seeing a little boy with the same aura as the woman. Not hesitating, she followed after, but did not attack, feeling that she should be sure.

"I guess you can't play the blond when your a redhead. I am kind of new to town. I onlybhave a vague idea of who Starbird is. The world has gone crazy. I haven't been to the upper sectors, but the middle and lower are in total chaos. Honestly just trying to find out what's happening. Maybe help out if I ."Katherin answered honestly.

"More of a figure speech, that blonde comment," Abaddon responded. He was surprised that the girl wasn't offset by his appearance. If she was frightened by it though, then she did a good job of hiding it. Intriguing.

"I think that for these situations, 'help' should be given by those like us," he said pointing to himself and to Hawk.
"So tell us, do you have any other skills aside from acting?"
