The creature once again grinned. It took an attack like this before, and it'll certainly take it again. The monster took a few steps back, and bent it's legs. It took the vending machine to the side of it's body, and was sent flying backwards, doing a roll on the ground. While it looked like the creature took a heavy blow, it simply got back up, shook off the pain, and started walking forward. It was gearing up for another pounce. However, a pink light flooded the area behind Titus...
Diego & Lupe Bellasquez
@He Who Walks Behind@TaliPaendrag
While what Titus did was irritating... Cass had a point. Whatever is out there is slaughtering him! They didn't know if he was dead or not... but there's only one way to find out. People like them shouldn't have to find reasons to help people. Fortunately, Cassidy came up with a plan. A simple one. While it's murdering Titus, the three sneak up on it, and unleash hell. Well, they could safely say that Cassidy isn't the best tactician, but it's better than what they're doing now.
"So, you want us to cook the thing, while you go in with your knives to eat it?" Lupe made yet another wisecrack at Cassidy. She just couldn't resist it!
"No measuring contests here." Lupe shrugged, with a grin on her face. Fear and terror was turning into pure
excitement. Not even a day in, and she was about to fuck up a monster! Shit sounded tight! Lupe pulled her comb out of her pocket and ran it through her pompadour, straightening it out.
"You're the fastest, Diego's the toughest... but me...?" She knelt forward somewhat.
".... I'm the hottest, perras!" She followed it up with a bout of playful laughter.
Diego loudly groaned. Honestly, he couldn't understand that girl sometimes. However, now was not the time to wonder about the complexities of Lupe. They need to hurry and save Titus. Though, neither Lupe
or Cass were in too much of a rush to go help him. Cassidy walked off - hopefully she was getting something necessary for their grand plan. Which left him alone with Lupe... and the kid. Oh yeah. Lupe said some really less than cordial things to Beth when she first walked up. He wasn't sure if he should apologize, or she should.
"Since... we're doing introductions." Diego scratched the back of his neck.
"I'm Diego, and this is Lupe.... We're... brother and sister."Dispose of the child, she is merely going to get in the way... unless you plan on using her as bait. Agni mentioned.
"Yeah, yeah..." Lupe furrowed her eyebrows, and threw her arms behind her head. Her eyeballs drifted to the side.
"I meant what I said, though, shi- this, this right here, is dangerous." She asserted her point, in case the little bit wanted to come along with them.
However, it seemed like the girl had something to say here. Oddly enough, she talked with a surprising amount of maturity, even though she looked very... young.
”Excuse me! Don’t you think that we should try and get a teacher or something before we decide to attack the mystery monster? They would know how to handle this.”She had a point, but at the same time, Lupe had another point.
"Look, sweetheart," She shifted her weight to one hip, and gave Beth a narrow look.
"Nobody calling themselves a teacher has yet to step up. Which means they are not here." Her point proved itself, really. If there was a teacher here, then they should have done something by now. Unless that teacher is nothing but a limpdick with no bravado. Cassidy came back... with a hat? Okay, Lupe had to do a double-take here. This bitch, went off, to get a hat?
"Plus, by the time we go find somebody, we don't know what will happen to that guy." "In short; nobody's taking that initiative, so we are."Diego had to agree with Lupe here. They can't waste time running around searching for staff members when somebody's
life is in danger here. It'd just be stupid.
Cassidy came back... with a hat? Okay, Lupe had to do a double-take here. This bitch, went off, to get a hat? It wasn't even a cool hat!
"Can't blame ya' there, Cass, I'd want to die with a little bit of style, too..." Lupe whispered to herself.
Diego certainly thought that Cassidy getting the hat was odd, but he wasn't going to judge. Right now... the spotlight fell on him. Nobody said anything, they were waiting. Waiting for someone to take action and lead the way. No, simply unacceptable. No more waiting. Now is the time for action. And Diego was the person who was going to lead the way.
"Enough talking." He said, as he deactivated his power, the flames disappeared and the light that illuminated his tattoos his tattoos vanished.
"We're ready, it's time to go." Diego lead the way, walking straight for the cafeteria door. Which was followed by Lupe (Who had deactivated her power). Though, the closer he got to the door, the worse it felt. It was like... walking into the mouth of evil itself. The sounds of Titus getting attacked echoed through the halls -
I hope we aren't too late - which gave them a good idea of what is going on. He stepped through the doors, walking in the darkness.
Heh, Diego thought that this would have been a bad idea if they didn't know where the monster was. Though... what was disconcerting was the fact that there was a few crashes.... That didn't sound go good for Titus...
They quickly came up onto the scene. Titus seemingly gotten the upper hand, he tossed the vending machine at the beast, but the beast dealt with that without a scratch. Titus got fucked up by the monster, he was bleeding everywhere. Which means they must act.
Lupe nodded at Diego. She took a few steps forward, and activated her power. A brilliant pink light filled the hallway, and she outstretched her hands, surrounding them in a massive glowing orb as she charged up for the big one. Though... she should give Titus a bit of warning. She hate to waste this attack on the idiot (Though, she felt like he'd jump in front of it). She shouted,
"Eyo, big man! Get out the way!" It couldn't get anymore clear than that. She just had to add on the boast,
"It's about to get hoooooooooot!" Fortunately, Titus got the hell out of the way. Which meant it was time for Lupe to cut loose. It was only fair that the best looking, and most talented, girl got to take the first shot. But enough of that, an evil grin crept onto Lupe's face. She let out her battle cry of,
"Ayyyyyyyyyyyyehahahahahaha!" as she unleashed her attack. A beam, a simple beam. However, it looked so incredible and intimidating because of how much of the hot pink light it gave off. Fluctuating between pink, purple, and blue. The energy blast filled the hallway with heat - since Lupe was trying to burn this thing to a crisp. Only people with a resistance to heat would be able to tolerate even
standing in the room right now. The beam climatically collided with the side of the creature - and it let out a massive roar in pain that echoed through the halls of the Academy. It burned. So much. The beast fell over.... Not that Lupe would have noticed, since she couldn't see
shit.
A few seconds after the energy struck the beast, it disappeared, and so did the light. The blinding light faded and allowed Lupe to see, and she was quite impressed by what she did. She left a burning hole in the creature's arm. That should do it. She slain the beast! All eyes on
Lupe Bellasquez! The
fuckin' hero of Academy 218! However, the creature got back up to it's feet. Growling loudly.
"Shit, you're tough!" Lupe said, that smile turned into an agape mouth, as her eyes opened wildly. Looks like the thing has a bit more of a fight left in it, eh? Well, it's time for Lupe to tag out, lest she overexerts herself. Lupe smiled cooly, and took a few steps back, and let the lights that illuminated her body fade.
"Your turn, lil' bro!" She extended two fingers, and gave the monster a salute.
Yeah, up to Diego. He walked up past Lupe, towards the beast, with his hands flaming like a torch, and his tattoos glowing brightly through his clothes. He was ready for this one. Though, he shined his light brightly so he may get a better view of the monster that is terrorizing the school....
The beast is a massive creature that is an aberration from the dog. It's body alone has the size and girth of a minivan. It's body appears to be skinless - every muscle, bone and tendon is exposed - however it appears to be covered in a black exoskeleton. It's skin is wrapped tightly around it's rib cage, with it's spine exposed. It's limbs are thin, and tipped off with broken, long weathered, claws. It has a,long, thin, bony tail that is topped off with a blade - almost like a scorpion. It doesn't even have a face, it has no eyes, only a gaping maw of teeth after teeth. Broken and bloody. Along with it's upper body being covered in cuts, burns, and other wounds it has sustained fighting the students thus far.
It... was something else entirely. Something
beyond natural. This is not what God wanted to see when he created the Earth. Not what he wanted to see when he created man.
... Not what he wanted to see when he created Metahuman.
Something that Diego must righteously strike down. However, he was hesitant to kill it. He didn't know if it was a human or not - if it was a Metahuman who had lost control of his powers. Which is why he aimed only to wound it. The creature stood straight up, and roared at Diego.
Taking steps towards it's own destruction....
