Shadic was surprised to see Reku approach so suddenly. He wanted to crack a joke, but now was not the time. There was a lot of tension in the air, a little too much tension.
Skylar simply disregarded Reku, chalking him up to being a fan. Shadic nodded, reminded of his various encounters with his friend Big Shot (Not Shot). Skylar mentioned how she'd never seen Shadic around, to which he replied, "I city hop, it really just depends on where the crime is. After your little stunt at the debate I decided this city needed me."
Sythius said something about Shadic's suit for the second time. He realized that he completely ignored the lizard man the first time, so this time he looked over at him, "Oh, I apologize Mr. Sythius. Thank you for the compliment, I could say the same to you. I did not known they made suits of that size."
As Shadic had shifted his attention from Skylar, Reku did something nobody expected. He killed her, basically out of no where. Shadic turned back to see his friend's arm straight through Skylar's chest. Behind his glasses, Shadic's eyes widened, but he could not do anything about it. He had his orders. In fact, Shadic scrambled over to Sythius, putting himself between the lizard and Reku. "What just happened? He asked, directing the question at the last nominee standing.
Sythius stepped back as Skylar was talking, quickly. He didn't want to be so close to her. After meeting Zeta, he learned all about respectable boundries. So, he stepped farther away from her, and behind Shadic. He watched as Skylar was attacked. He thought he would feel... good? He hated the emotion, but it was better than anger.
But he didn't. He felt guilty. She deserved it. She murdered Edgy! He thought, but it didn't feel right. He wished Skylar didn't have to die... but it was necessary. Sythius shook his head, trying to push his feelings away.
"I... I don't know." He said, trying to hide the blood on his hands.
As Shadic spoke she defiantly seemed interested in what he was saying... But her hand seemed to constantly be gittering moving her fingers quickly looking around... Her breathing was still un-normal as mentioned before... She knew something was coming. Afterall she in a crowd of Edgy fans who probably hated her... Plus... Sytherius had been silent almost the entire time looking at her.
But she tried to not let that bother her as Shadic spoke. She giggled a bit saying "Don't let my thing discourage you. I truly love this city. Despite what it does to me... Despite all the rough feelings. But honestly I wouldn't mind is someone like you stays here a while. Even though you kinda here from my bad choice I wish you understood. A... uh few years ago I was placed in a situation during war... It involved a weapon and lots and lots of people dieing.... War... That was just about 2 years ago I do believe. I was just a little girl. I did a few things I regret. But I never knew hitting someones weapon would kill them. I mean I held weapons before... Never killed me if it broke or smashed... How was I to know? She pulled it out right on stage infront of people. Now how stupid is that? And I get the blame for disarming her." as she sighed.
Thats when Sytherius called over again about some stupid suit. She turned to look at the lizard like 'Can't you see I am talking here' look as suddenly she was hit in the back.
To continue this scene let me reveal my hand. As I got proof of Skylar had more then just the idea she would be attacked she expected it. The reason she was wearing the dress.... As Rex smacked her it felt like a brick he hit. Dodging it was not an option she had to take the hit. She wasn't wealthy enough to buy fancy + armor but she didn't need to be. She owned her own from the past even though it had no bonus's the new armors do. As Rex hit it felt like hitting someone that was actually x2 what they thought there PL was + a suit of armor underneath.
He felt blood on his hand for sure but no way did it make it threw her chest. She would be launched as she hit quite a few more people. Rex killed these people for damn sure. But not Skylar. She stood up and noticed Shadic run to Sytherius. She stood up and said "What you doing? You said you fight crime did you not? There's the criminal." pointing at Rex "Beat his ass." making sure Shadic got the message cause after all Shadic stated he fights crime. Is that a lie?
As she would infact go towards both Sytherius and Shadic but not turning her back. Now she sees him she knows what he is generally capable of. But she was not ready to fight if she didn't have to. She stuck to trying to run and hide if possible.
Sonnelion walked into the park, he had his hair combed back for the occasion, the scar on the right side of his face showed. he walked in and saw the situation. he noticed Skylar was apparently capable of substitution. 'huh' he thought thought to himself as he walked more in. he looked at Shadic, Skylar, Reku and Sythuis with a confused look on his face. "uhh....somethings going on here I'm not seeing yet...isn't there..." he muttered to himself at the scene he was currently looking upon. he had the black knight greatsword and shield in on his back, ready to use if he needed to defend himself. his long white hair flowed behind his back. he gazed around with his silver eyes. "so...what's going on here?" he asked honestly wondering. he noticed the lake nearby, 'could come in handy' he thought to himself. he also had another blade sheathed away on his side. he is armed to the teeth and underneath the suit he had his armor on just in case.(he literally just missed the murder attempt and the accusations sent out)
he walked closer. "hey shadic, been awhile since I last saw you." he looked at rex, once again sensing the hint of dark energy. 'he needs to learn to level that darkness' he thought to himself. Sonnelion mentally began to control the water, created a ball, and had it go over and hide on a tree, since Reku clearly had their attention, its not like they'll pay much attention to him. 'sorry lady, I saw that shot you made, I can't let you continue senseless killing like that.' he thought to himself sadly as the water finally shot a volley of blasts at 'Skylar'. his face showed no emotion, but if the shot does kill 'skylar', then he'll act surprised and fire a blast at the tree to show he's on their side. deep down, he knew he was going to have to keep this to himself, even if it did bear down on his conscious as time went on, either way, he saw 'skylar' make that shot on TV, this was merely justice, even if no one will truly know who did the deed.

Casually strolling by the city, the red head male would pause as his eyes drew onto the scene taking place just a few meters away. There was a ton of people and with them, there seemed to be a ton of strong people too. Lightly scratching at his head, Nexon watched as a man attacked a lady, sending her flying into the crowd where her body crashed into some people. She seemed to be in once piece but judging by the large group of people that were there and moving in on her, she probably didn't have too long. Looking at the others, Nexon could see that Shadic was there, although he was dressed up rather nicely, maybe this was his job? Nonetheless, he had a decision to make here and now, that lady was in trouble and she looked like she needed a hand.
Cupping his chin in thought, Nexon would nod to himself, recalling that Shadic had told him he was a "protector" of some sort before his memory was wiped. "Hmm, yeah okay, I'll help!" Assuming a runner's stance, Nexon would place his hands onto the ground below him, his legs planted on the ground as he aimed himself. Rocking himself back, the hybrid would take off forward with all his might, the ground beneath him cracking as he aimed to scoop Skylar up in his arms. At the speed he was moving, she would probably be confused as all hell but he made sure that his approach and grabbing of her would be delicate. If successful, the shots that Sonnelion launched at Skylar would hit the ground and she would have seemingly disappeared.
If all had followed through, Nexon would be standing on one of the surrounding buildings, placing the woman onto her feet before giving a casual "Hiya."
Reku looked directly at Skylar, who was still somehow alive. Though the gap between their power would still be great enough that his hand wouldn't be cut at all (20x2=40m 79k>40k). Seeing Shadic so close and now Sonnelion making an appearance as well, there was a high probability that they would turn against him since he doesn't know what they were really here for. "καλώ" He would mutter under his own breath while simultaneous explode into his second transformation, Super Saiyan Umbra. The rings of chaos were now in use. The threats to the completion of his task was too big, he had to go all out. He began to tap at his side. At first, it seemed harmless, but then with each tap it grew louder, and louder, each noise mixing with one another. Everyone around him would hear the sound as it got even louder and would begin to experience the following symptoms:
The effects would get worse as the noise would begin to drive everyone to madness. The crowd would quickly go into a frenzy as the noise overtook their minds. The noise would be going by the time Nexon went in, since Reku began performing the move a little before Sonnelion unleashed his technique on Skylar. Reku was shocked to see someone move in to try and save Skylar that fast. He never met him, but this man was fast. Very fast. How could he have never met him? In other news, he had no idea if whatever Sonnelion tried to pull succeeded, but that was no longer a factor. One thing was for sure: Under these horrible effects, making rational decisions would be extremely difficult as some of your sanity went with each, horrible tap on the leg.
'Woah, okay. Bombshell. A lot happened in the short time between Reku's attack and now. Skylar, thankfully, was not killed by Reku, but she probably was really hurt.
Sonnelion appeared within the crowd for some odd reason. Shadic hadn't seen him in a while, so he responded to his greeting warmly, "Oh, hey Sonnelion."
Then, as if three high powered saiyans weren't enough, Nexon came dashing into the scene. He swatted down some odd water blasts that were targeting Skylar and scooped up the injured counsilwoman. That really cleared Shadic's mind, because even with his memory issue, Nexon was still a hero at heart.
Shadic was going to call out to Nexon and tell him he had Sythius under control if the redhead could handle Skylar, but then some odd clicking noise started infiltrating his mind. It has been going for a while, but now it was starting to really bother him. He looked around for the culprit, unsure of where the sound was coming from. "Cover your ears!" Shadic shouted at the crowd, not sure if that would stop the oncoming effects, but it was worth a shot.
Last Edit: Mar 27, 2017 8:28:44 GMT -5 by Papi: missed an important detail in nex's post, adjusted accordingly
Some dude with a very high power level rescued Skylar. Or did they? An awful racket started right after, and Sythius couldn't comprehend much else after that.
His head throbbed. It hurt badly. Sythius' hands went to his head.
"My cause is a righteous one..." he heard a voice say. "Zeta?" he mumbled. "But you're not here..."
Sythius started laughing. He was talking to Zeta! What a weirdo!
"Shadick!" Sythius tried to say. "This hurts my head!"
(OOC: Hey guys, LOTS of new people jumped in. If I miss a detail sorry. But I will respond based on what is seen.)
Shadic seemed to ignore everything that was yelled at him by Skylar... So thats a thing. True hero ignores injured women screaming for help. Heros of the world would be so proud.
Moving on,
Rex seemed shocked by how she was still alive. Which was understandable. After all he thought she was just 20k. Plus unexpectedly wearing armor. This was no simple kill it seemed like.
But from this point a guy (Sonnelion) randomly blankly walked on the field. Right past Rex and even greeted his good friend Shadic. He was gonna make a water thing and a gun turret.
As Sonnelion made a water field she was gone. Within a blink she was at a totally different location.
From the far distance it looked like Rex was throwing a fit. Sonnelion looked stumped. Shadic looked useless, and Sytherius looked in pain...
She felt light headed but not from the Rex's move. She was outta its range... She was bleeding from the back...
She blinked as Nexon said Hi. She said "What? What happened?" as it was hard for her to stand on her own... Her hands were the only thing sticking outta the dress people noticed. Now her hands were turning into armor pieces. Her PL was falling for sure. She said "All I was trying to do is say sorry..." as she cried saying "They all were in on it." as she was feeling cold. She said "There all friends, the Crazy boy (Reku), the Random weirdo (Sonnelion) and lastly the fake (Shadic)." as she said "And all over politics.. Over disarming a woman..."
Nexon might notice her blood. She was badly injured... She ripped off her sleeve showing more armor up the arm. She wrapped the cloth around the stomach and back. She wanted to keep in as much blood as possible. Seeing she was in war this was not the first time she did this.
As she leaned on Nexon She was having problems with standing. She took a heavy blow for sure... She looked at him and said "Please don't let them kill me..." as she was crying while on his shirt leaning on him saying "Pleas..." as she was crying so much. Unable to even think of death. She wanted to live.
-------------------------------------
Rex effected more then just Sytherius and the other PC characters. Many in the crowd were clearly effected as well. Many holding there heads and showing off signs.
Sonnelion heard a noise, but thanks to his passive mindblock ability, he was left completely unaffected. he noticed the rings on Reku shaking, and went ssj2 immediately as he could see the people around them being affected, Shadic notably covered his ears. while on one hand sytherius had given him a contract to kill a crazy politician, she wasn't exactly the dangerous one here. the one causing the danger is Reku, he glared at him. "STOP REKU!" he ordered him, pulling out the black knight sword and shield, energy flowing through the blade to help extend the range. he ran at Reku at an incredible speed, intending to cancel his incredibly dangerous ability by bashing him in the face with the shield, the bash would knock Reku into a tree, it was clear to him that Sytherius had hired Reku as well, and while he understood the rules, he couldn't let all those people get hurt because of Reku's damn ability, the councilwoman was the target, not the innocent civilians. if reku cancels his technique in order to defend himself, Sonnelion would switch the shield to defending position. "You're harming the civilians Reku! what the hell is wrong with you?! I see that dark aura you have! Are you really gonna fall for Terium's words?!" he yelled at him, he had to get through to him, he just had to. he may not know Reku as well as people like Bigshot or Shadic do, but he had to try to turn him away from the darkness.
Sytherius's contract was going to have to wait. this was more important. he could NOT allow Reku to turn to darkness, but inwardly, Sonnelion knew there was a chance that they may have to put Reku down, as much as he hated to admit it. Reku used to be a force for good, and yet...going as far as harming civilians for a damn contract?! it was bullshit, and he could NOT allow it to continue.
of course...while charging at reku, the ki turret in the tree disguised as a water droplet never did stop firing, as Sonnelion had it set to keep going without him until someone destroys it, which honestly wouldn't take much seeing how Sonnelion wasn't focusing on it anymore... 10 more shots were fired at , and this time they were leveled up due to Sonnelion's transformation...the ki blasts would be able to get there much smoother thanks to Reku's little call of madness, and would reach their target before the call of madness would be cancelled. the target being what they were originally set to fire at in the first place.
