[IC] Gotham (Always Open)

[ZacksQuest]

The crash of the unbreakable Cartoonium hammer colliding with the upraised gauntlet of equally unbreakable material left a deep, massive crater. A small shockwave broke the windows inside Teo's van, and the windows on the first and second floors of the high-rise. The shock broke every bone in The Visionary's left arm and hand, leaving an agonizing pain. But he was still in action- it was the exoskeleton doing all the movements now, not even his own muscles and bones. But everything would hurt a lot more after this. The Visionary painedly wrenched the hammer out of Teo's grasp and with both hands grabs the hero by the head, shoving his palms right in front of Teo's eyes, the 2D insignias of eyes looking right back. "Feel... my... pain." He fired the lasers in both palms.

((We've gone beyond WAY TOO FAR beyond what would be otherwise plausible IU- which is saying a lot for your character, Teo. xD))

Teo sent back a few yard lying on the ground burnt

"O..uch"

He just stays there

((o.o Yikes. Well, something finally fazed him. I'm just going to assume he'll survive this and recuperate to fight another day, if unable to see the ending to the Visionary's reign of terror.))

The lasers in both eyes probably means he won't be able to see for quite a while, but knowing the odd regenerative abilities of the hero, he wouldn't be sure if the blindness would be temporary or permanent. Either way it didn't matter. He was spent, and his exo-skeleton was close to shutting down. That fight with the kid took a lot of the power out of his suit. He would only be able to use its beams and other energy weapons very, very sparingly. He still had one more thing to do first. He took the gauntlet off his scorched hand, pressed a hidden button on the eye, setting that particular part to self-destruct. It would be a big blast, and he wouldn't be able to survive it if he was still in the blast zone. So he powered up the beams on the bottoms of his metallic boots, and he propelled himself upwards, crashing through a high-rise window on the fourth floor. One last look down at Teo. He almost felt bad- no, he did feel bad. But why? This kid was a menace. Maybe... maybe the kid being a hero wasn't that bad an idea, if he can do this much damage to an operation like his. Maybe The Visionary's entire plan was a sham from the start... no. No. He did, for some reason, truly respect and admire the kid, but he was almost sure he wouldn't survive this time. He might have superhuman perception, but The Visionary just hindered that greatly. Looking back, he saw one of the two people who killed Sionis and Falcone. He didn't feel much like fighting, so he waited for the first move. Whether it was words or bullets, he wouldn't know until it started. The countdown on the glove was fifteen seconds.

Adrian proceeded through the high rise killing every thug in the building, he wanted all of them to die eventually he made his way to the fourth floor and came face to face with the visionary "So I think it's safe to assume your the visonary." He asked a cigarette clenched between his teeth.

The gauntlets protected his eyes from being blind

He starts to crawl up the crater

"G..get back here"

He ten sees the glove and uses the last of his strength to throw it at the windo TV flew thru

"Hasta-frickin-lavista"

[ZacksQuest]

"Yes, I am." The Visionary, looking behind him, notices the gauntlet flying at him. The kid's still at it, after the beating he's gotten. That cinched it. It was like the Visionary was in a trance, and that glove snapped him out of it. Counting down from five seconds. Enough time. He catches it with his non-burnt hand and tosses it out back into the street. Boom goes the glove as it is hurled up towards the top of a far away building, obliterating part of the top of it. Looking back from it, he says, "So you killed Mask and Falcone. Congrats. You've saved me the trouble, but you've taken away the satisfaction of me doing it. So, how will this go? I'd rather we talk, and both explain outselves before doing you attempt your... specialty." With that, The Visionary sits down. "Feel free to ask me questions. I take it you and the other man have already dealt with my Watchkeepers?"

((Had to do that, you would've killed Bullet in the process with that as well, man. But it was good, if someone else wasn't there he would've exploded then and there. Also, small Spanish note- it's "Hasta la vista," "la vista" being "the view", two words, not one. So it would be "Hasta la frickin' vista," with or without the optional "baby" at the end. Technically. *shrug*))

[DELETED324324]

"I killed every thug in this building from floor 20, Falcone was not my target The Mask was." He said taking a puff at his cigarette "Me and you aren't so different from what i hear, although i wish after what happened to me someone had the decency to take out my eyes."

It explodes in the air ,and Teo weakly flies up to the window

"It aINT OVEEEER!"

He roars

Louis was looking at what was going on and was mainly listening to what was going on but what he did know is that he had to get the hell out of here and fast,"This ain't something im gonna win.." He thought to himself making his way out of the building before stepping on one of the destroyed eye robots making a loud crunch sound that would caught the attention of the Visionary and Adrian.

"I suppose people react in different ways to the same thing- I just want to make sure it never happens again. To anyone. Ever. I suppose that's a reason why. But, the more I think about it, with all my hypocrisy, all my bullshit about taking out criminals and the people whose actions make them escalate what they do- and here I am, blowing up city blocks and wearing this ridiculous piece of armor. What I'm doing isn't right, and what I'm doing isn't a road I should follow, but I dug my hole too deep, and losing my eyes didn't make me un-see the death, un-hear the screams from my wife and kids, the flash. In fact, it just made that last thing I saw the only thing I saw. I ingrained it onto everything I saw. And I still am. And I won't ever be able to stop it. And the kid down there, still pushing and going forward like some invincible force- Hell, if the heroes are more like you and him, and if the idea of justice itself is just as unstoppable, then my idiot campaign for 'peace' just caused nothing more than a whole lot of death." The Visionary, with his gauntleted hand, took off his helmet. Both eyes were crackling, malfunctioning. Everything was becoming static. "You've killed two monsters today already. Go ahead and kill a third who's too far gone to turn back- probably some of those people in Falcone's house were just workers or blood relatives with no criminal intent. But I was too cocky and too arrogant to think about that. So please, if you want to put another piece of shit in the ground, go ahead. But I might want to warn you first before you do it- warn you 'bout something else."

When Teo flew up and yelled, The Visionary continued, "Give it a rest, kid. You won. I may have beaten you in the brawl, but you won, you unstoppable S-O-B. And that defeat might sober you up enough to watch out for your own skin as well as the skin of others." The crunching of an Eye-Bot caught his attention as well, down below. "That your friend? Let him crunch 'em. I'm not going to need 'em where I'm going."

((Basically Teo's mighty hammer might not've knocked him out, but it knocked some sense into him... if not for the assisted suicide, this would be a Care Bear villain ending.))

[Eviledd1984]

Louis watched him looking at him and it sent some chills down his spine and stopped for a moment before he spoke,"Your not going to kill me?Well i have no quarrel with you...Hi guy let's get out of here...before more of Carmine's men come down and fill us with bullets..." He said to Adrian waiting for him but was curious about the other man.

Teo the falls ,and a 4 butler bots pick him up


"T..thanks butler bots"

Another one gets him ailkshake and Teo starts drinking it

"Thanks Dan-bot"

[ZacksQuest]

The Visionary looked over. All static now, but occasionally he saw flickers. "They're all Carmine's guns? All of them? Is there anyone else besides us and those thugs in the building?"

[DELETED324324]

Adrian sighed at the interruption by Teo and looked back at Louis "I'm gonna stay here I'm not scared of any thugs he said." Gesturing to the corpses strewn across the ground bullet holes in every single one of em. Then he turned his attention back to The Visionary. "What do you have to warn me about?" He asked pulling out his pistol he had all intents of giving The Visionary his wish and killing him but after he answered his question.

[Teoinsanity]

"I'll help"

Teo then smacks the pistol

"No,he is insane,more so then I am,it's not right "

Flicker. He saw Adrian holding the gun and preparing to kill him. "I couldn't have done all of this by myself, of course. The numbers. The money. I had to work with the very same thugs I wanted to kill to get some of the money, but most of it I got from a man who goes by The Bishop. He's what I was not even five minutes ago, but to the twentieth power. A so-called Messiah. My computer systems are programmed to relay a message to him in the event of my death. He may have the numbers, and the gadgets, and maybe some mystic hoodoo to back it up, and when I die he's going to come straight to the city to take up the same, foolish fight. And he's going to be more ruthless than me. But let me just ask one more thing. In this building, besides you and him, of course, are everyone in the building Carmine's thugs?"

As Teo knocked the gun out of Adrian's hand, The Visionary yelled, "Teo. That's enough. I am crazy. I am an awful, twisted, broken little shell of a man, and that's never going to change. Just let me die in peace, and let me take some of Carmine's cronies with me. One- one good thing to my ten thousand bad things."

[DELETED324324]

Adrian couldn't help but see himself in this man, couldn't help but feel like what he did consumed him and brought him down a path of pain and a constant hunger for vengeance "Yeah everyone in this building is a hired thug." He said picking up his pistol and pulling out the clip he set it down "There's one in the chamber when your energy runs out make it count." He said.

"No,one thing I learned was to never give up,don't give up on life,you can make up for it,belive me,no matter how much destruction you did ,there is always a chance for redemption"

He smacke the gun once more

"Thank you. Now get out. I'll take care of the rest. ...one- one more thing. I was always twisted, even when I was a cop. I deserved that bombing, even if my family didn't. I had a partner- Officer Dest. His daughter- I didn't see it until now but his daughter's a vigilante, a bit like you, but not really. I- I sold him out. I regret it, I regretted it since day one, even before today, even before the bombing that killed my family. If you ever meet her, his daughter... I'm sorry." A press of a button on his chest. "Take your gun and go. This is a two-minute countdown. Carmine's thugs will die here. And when I meet him in Hell, Carmine- I'm gonna kick his ass." The countdown begins. "And Teo-" a small smile, "Thank you for freeing me."
