ONE PUUUUUUNCH MAN

S-Class Meeting with the Director

City A :: Headquarters

@FallenTrinity@Polaris North

Danzo shifted his attention to Guardian when he spoke and listened in to what he had to say. There was no doubt in his mind that Guardian and Lightning Princess were innocent, but he required confirmation from every hero. The Director let out a sigh and adjusted his tie, finally calming down. The past few hours were a bit stressful on him.

"Forgive me for my rudeness earlier, but yes, you are correct Guardian. We do have some of the information available. Which will make this process easier."

The Director opened up a hologram on the table, displaying information of each individual in the room regarding their whereabouts yesterday.

"Just before all of you arrived, the surveillance team managed to gather brief information of your last known locations from yesterday. Quite the few of you were still active around the time Dillinger was murdered. However, in order prove your innocence please cooperate with me and swipe your identification cards on the table...this will ensure that the information here is correct. If not, then I guess you can say we found our culprit."

Shredder pulled out his card, but was hesitant to placing it on the table. There was something off about this whole procedure, never once they had to use their ID card for anything other than gaining clearance into HQ. His eyes shifted to one random member who scanned their card on the interactive table and was approved by the system, indicating their alibi checks out.

Are you kidding me? These things have some kind of tracker built in?! Damn it, I'm screwed...It doesn't matter if I scan my card in or not, they will know either way...

Feeling like all hope was lost, his grip on the ID card in hand loosened up and dropped to the floor. He didn't even bother waiting out the other members to finish scanning their cards. The Director's attention was focused on Shredder, who noticed that he was lowering his head in defeat. Shredder's lips began to quiver, until he started muttering something until it was made clear that his words were "I did it...it was me..." It took him three tries to get everyone at the table to hear him. He couldn't bare to look at anyone and remained slumped over with his head down.

So it was Shredder...Did not expect him to fall for my bluff. If he were to scan his card, the program would've approved him regardless. None of the IDs contain those kind of chips yet. Thought I would have to resort into using step two...but I guess that can be saved for another time. I cannot let him escape, he has crucial information about the Monster Association that we must know!

The Director gestured Guardian and Lightning Princess to cease him, however they would see blood trickling out of Shredder's mouth. Could it be...suicide? Shredder did have sharp teeth and the jaw power to crush the entirety of Nashorn like an egg. It wouldn't be too far fetched for him to bite off his own tongue, sacrificing himself to protect the Monster Association.

It all happened in an flash. Nashorn thought about wiping out the entire block with his next attack and be rid of any other possible heroes in the area. He also believed that he defeated and killed the two heroines with a single clap. Unfortunately for him, another pair of heroes showed up. There was no way he would have noticed the live wire coming towards him in time. Although at the last second, what he did notice was the Toon girl had recovered from what was supposed to be a fatal blow and was making her way down to his chest like nothing had happened. This would have kept him distracted from the wire or that one wolf lunging at him.

"H-How are you-"

The giant did not seem to realize that he was being electrocuted, all he felt was constant pain all over his body. While the shock was not enough to kill him instantly, it did leave him stunned and defenseless. Just enough for Violet Reaper and Light to deliver the final blow.

"GAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He screamed in agonizing pain.

Blood gushed out from Nashorn's chest after his innards were butchered and boiled up by the deadly combination of magical flames and electricity. His gigantic body collapsed backwards and left him sprawled out near the middle of the road. Barely alive, the giant tried to regain movement in his fingers, but the injuries he sustained to was far too great for him to move. It was clear that victory belongs to the heroes today...

I...underestimated these guys...need to...call for backup...somehow...

I'll get a post up tomorrow.

@chukklehed@Archmage MC@Polaris North@Cherrywitch

"Hmm?..."

Nashorn spotted the heroine coming from around the corner, charging towards him at full speed. Ha! It was just another futile attempt to stop him. He made no effort to defend himself, however he did plan on attacking right through her. Nashorn slowly brought his arms up in preparation for another clap, leaving his massive chest wide open. What he did not count on was the heroine's ability to damage his armor.

I-Impossible!!!

It caught him off guard for a second when he realized that his chest plate was ripped open, which exposed the purple flesh underneath. The giant took a step back, which brought him closer to the electrical poles, and tried to process what just happened. He always believed his armor was impenetrable, yet somehow this human managed to tear through it like paper. Come to think of it, her appearance is much different compared to the other humans. The moment he was about to launch a counterattack, he was confronted by yet another hero in one of the most bizarre ways imaginable.

"What the-!? How the hell did you get up there?! Get off my head!"

Nashorn brought his large hands together in attempt to crush the heroine above his head, while at the same time cause further destruction on the street. Unlike his previous clap, the power behind this one would be enough to knock back any nearby heroes away from him. Parked cars on the street would turn over sideways, while glass shards from the buildings and lighter debris would be pushed through the air in all directions, turning into shrapnel. However, this attack left him in a vulnerable position by leaving his chest unguarded for a brief moment. If the heroes could withstand or recover from the attack quickly enough, then it will be highly possible to defeat Nashorn while his weak point was still exposed.

I'll try to get a post up after class.

ONE PUUUUUUNCH MAN

@Polaris North Yeah she is part of the meeting xD

@Archmage MC Obviously they are going to dine and dash.

ONE PUUUUUUNCH MAN

@Polaris North You can move her to the character tab. As for Erika, there is really no limit on how many characters you can play as. Just don't make more than you can handle. So, bring her over here if you want so Evan and Erika can become business partners and have a monopoly on hero costumes.

@SpookySquid Mrs.Pickles being promoted to S-Class is still canon :p

@Archmage MC I'm always down for a post mission party xD

ONE PUUUUUUNCH MAN

@SpookySquid Yes! Transfer your characters over here if you want to continue with the rp. I know you've been busy lately. xD

@chukklehed Like cookies.

IC is up btw.

S-Class Meeting with the Director

City A :: Headquarters

@FallenTrinity@SpookySquid

A week passed since the successful defense against the alien invasion and other small scale attacks caused by other beings. City K, City S, and City T are still undergoing repairs in certain districts, but overall city life was returning back to normal. As it stands, the Hero Association control 23 out of the 26 cities across the continent. The entirety of City Z, City Y, and City X remain occupied by powerful monsters and criminals. There has been many attempts by the Hero Association to take back these cities, but all of which have failed.

Danzo, also known as The Commander of Headquarters, has summoned all available S-Class heroes to participate in an urgent meeting. No information was given on what the meeting is about.

"There is no doubt that City W is the next target for those damn bastards...In the past we were dealing with scattered uncoordinated attacks. Now, it is evident that there is a Mastermind behind their recent behavioral change." Danzo addressed, as he placed the Monster Association's invitational card on the table.

"This was retrieved from City X last night, courtesy of Dillinger. Unfortunately, he didn't make it out alive himself...But thanks to his sacrifice, we've learned that we are up against an entire organization of monsters which also consists of humanoid members. With thorough investigation, we have confirmed that a sheer number of them have already blended into society. It is quite possible they already infiltrated our ranks as spies...Which leads me to say this..."

Danzo slowly stood up with a petrifying gaze directed towards the S-Class members who were present and slammed his hand onto the table.

"Which one of you bastards murdered Dillinger last night!?!..."

Dillinger, a young rookie member that makes Mrs.Pickles look like Guardian in comparison. While his bad luck often caused him to get into troublesome situations, he was fully capable of holding his own with a very powerful handgun. However, his handgun wasn't enough to help him this time around. Last night during a scouting mission in City X, he was murdered by another S-Class hero in cold blood.

Shit! It's a trap! I should've expected this meeting was about THAT. I got careless. Calm down...They don't know it was me yet. If I play it cool, then I can shift the blame to the other members who are absent. If I can pull that off, then my status in the Hero Association will be set for life!

Tash kept a low profile at the table, waiting for his opportunity to speak while he observed some of the members arguing with the Director.

City W

City W :: Main Street

@chukklehed@Cherrywitch@Archmage MC@Polaris North

The rumors of City W being the next target for the Monster Association has spread like a wildfire and probably caught the attention of every hero within a short amount of time. Unlike most rumors that go around, this one appears to be true. The ground violently shook on main street, a giant armored monster jumped out of the tunnel it had created underneath the road system. A Demon level threat has appeared...

The giant stood over 16 feet tall, its armor thick and stronger than steel.

"I AM NASHORN THE DESTROYER! COWER BEFORE ME HUMANS AS I-..." The monster stopped shouting for a moment, quickly realizing there were no civilians on the streets. Most of them had already been escorted to the evacuation zone due to the rumors, giving the heroes a much wider battlefield.

"Well then...this just makes my job extremely boring."

Nashorn brought his large hands together for a thunderous clap, causing the building windows on the street to shatter. This caught the attention of two nearby heroes who were patrolling around the area together. The two heroes arrived at the scene and immediately attacked Nashorn. Unfortunately, they were only C-Class and posed very little threat to him. Needless to say, he effortlessly defeated them.

The two heroes were still alive, but in critical condition. "Is this what the Hero Association is nowadays? HA! Pathetic!" He mocked the fallen heroes and turned to continue on with his destruction, starting with main street.
