His tail coiled around the podium like a boa constrictor. His scaly skin glistened under the thick beaming spotlight, making the sharp point on the end of his tail shine. To the public, and the cameras below, they could see their councilman in all his lizard-like glory, and Sythius could see that at least some of the crowd was visibly unnerved by him. Their eyes were wide with shock and fear. It was like they didn't understand what "vote lizardman" actually meant. The eyes of the small crowd stabbed into him.
"People of South City I ,uh , humbly accept the honor of the..." He couldn't take it for long, and he knew it. "of becoming your councilman. We will be exploring the use of powered crime fighters, as a potential fix for all the crime throughout the city. That is all."
Shayne had been watching from nearby and had heard what the guy had said. 'huh. Interesting' Shayne thought to himself as he left from his dark spot. It wouldn't be until the guy had finished that Shayne would try to go near him. "Your an interesting. You know that right?" Shayne would say as he got near the man. Shayne had his scarf up, covering his mouth. And for a good reason too, not like he knew that reason nor would anyone else. But that was something to fimd put another day. For now Shayne was being friendly, and he would continue to do so. He had no reason to be mean, at least not yet.
Sonnelion was in the area as well, wearing his armor with the mask on, he was simply watching the scene quietly, not really thinking of interfering as there is no point in doing so. on one hand he wondered if Sythius was honest about what he was going to do. as Sythius left the speech area he began to walk there before stopping as he could faintly sense a familiar powerlevel, but it was clear it was hiding itself among the crowd. he couldn't tell where it was coming from exactly however which was a problem as he knew WHO the powerlevel was coming from. 'damn cunning bastard....' he thought to himself with a now serious expression on his face. Terium was among the crowd, using his form changing abilities to make himself look like one of the people he had absorbed a while back. he kept his powerlevel hidden, he knew Sonnelion was there, he could see the guy afterall and the man wasn't even hiding his powerlevel. he inwardly smirked, knowing he'd have a hard time finding him. Terium's current form looked to be a healthy 24 year old man with short brown hair and blue eyes and was wearing relatively normal cloths. if Sythius had been watching the crowd more closely he would have seen amusement instead of fear on his face contrary to how everyone else was showing fear, which amused him greatly. he noticed that Sonnelion was searching for him now, which was also amusing.
the bio android walked through the crowd and noticed a strange boy wearing a scarf that was covering his mouth. 'interesting...' he thought to himself. he kept hidden and began to trail the boy while making sure that Sonnelion wasn't following.
Sonnelion wasn't able to find him, which disturbed him as he could still sense the bastard around. he had to warn Sythius. he nodded to sythius as a sign to let him know they needed to talk in private.
"War never changes. Only the instruments of war and the people who play in it."
"What is my true name? What Destiny awaits one such as I out here, outside of Lordroth?" Quin
"You can tear me down all you want, I will Never give you the satisfaction of my Death! I am ASPARA! FEEL MY FLAMES AND BURN!" Aspara
"I need time to think." Sonnelion
"Orkses neva lose if we run we'll jus' come back fer more! If we die it don' count!" Barrigan
((Derpy, your thread plotline is about to be derailed.)) South City [Time of Day] [Day of Week] Whatever Shadic's PL is at (cant be bothered to check)
Among the crowd, same as everybody else, was Shadic. He was still unsure how to feel about the lizard man because on one hand, Skylar was a crazy lady who killed Edgy for no reason, but on the other, she was almost killed (basically) by Sythius. Maybe she even did get killed. Shadic still did not know all the details.
It was upsetting, to say the least. Now, he listened to the nervous councilcreature, but he was also there to help protect the innocent if necessary. After all, the other two candidates were brutally attacked in their last public appearances, so Sythius had to be next in line.
Sythius could sense a few abnormally strong power levels, but he didn't really pay attention to them. The lizardman moved like a clunky wooden dummy. His back was stiff and erect, like a broom. You're safe now, Sythius. His body screamed at him to relax. Breathe.
Sythius stopped in his tracks. "I can't keep doing this..." he mumbled to himself, in a hushed tone. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. He began to stretch, seemingly ignoring Shayne.
After he was done, he finally said "What?"
He relaxed, and slowly began to adopt his more natural posture, hunched and bent down.

Shayne watched Sythius before then speaking. "Oh nothing. Just never saw something like you before." That is where Shayne stopped as he sensed a familiar power level. That of Sonnelion's who he had met before Shayne was pretty much destroyed by Reku. Shayne clenched his right fist as he felt his anger rise. He didn't like Sonnelion, and Shayne wanted to destroy Sonnelion so much. But now wasn't the time, not while he wasn't strong enough. "But, i'll leave you to it." Shayne then said before doing a polite salute and walking away. He walked over to a allay way nearby where he should be alone before shouting and punching the wall as he went into his demon form. "Of course HE is here...lucky punk...IF I WAS STRONGER, I'D...."Shayne then sighed as he stopped himself from punching the wall again. He didn't want to bring too much attention.
Sonnelion walked up to Sythius, he noticed Shayne as he walked in, 'huh...that kid again...' he thought to himself, but then remembered the situation at hand. "Sythius, its been awhile." he stated under his mask. "we got a situation." he stated with a serious tone. he could still sense Terium among the crowd, but it was better to make sure Sythius knew of the guy.
meanwhile Terium had continued to watch the boy, shayne. he narrowed his eyes and walked towards the alley way where Shayne is. he walked into it. "well, well, well...who would have thought I'd meet yet another young warrior with high potential this week..." he stated ensuring Shayne heard him. he appeared next to him, and went to grab his chin. "so young...yet so much potential..." the still disguised bio android spoke with a human voice, but if Shayne focused his senses a bit, he'd feel darkness in the man before him. Terium would then proceed to kick at Shayne, intending to knock him into the building as to have a more...private chat...an alley way was nice and all, but it wasn't the best place for him to show what he truly looked like..
if shayne looked at him during all this, he'd see what looked to be a man of 30 years old, with long black hair put in a pony tail, wearing a suit and tie, he was also wearing sunglasses, and had a gotee. if Terium wasn't wearing the sunglasses, Shayne would see red eyes that began to glow as he made his movement to kick shayne into the building.

(since im not on mobile right now: Shadic's PL is 96,500 with undetectable trait or whatever it's called)
Sythius was clearly distraught, almost as if something was gnawing away at him from the inside. Shadic was no psychologist, but Sythius was so obviously upset that he almost felt bad for the lizard man. Winning a political position was stressful, but Shadic did not realize it affected people straight away. There was something else to the lizard's feelings, potentially related to the Skylar incident.
Some guy was having a chat with Sythius, a small one, before he just walked away. His power was higher than the rest of the citizens in the crowd, so Shadic knew he may need to watch out for him. The new people were always such wildcards because they could potentially become friends or foes. He also noticed Sonnelion, who was having a conversation with Sythius. Something didn't feel right, almost as if another energy was among them. He tried to calm himself down through a good old mental pep talk, 'The past few weeks have been mighty stressful Shadic. You're just being paranoid.' Out of the corner of his eye, Shadic noticed somebody following the new guy (Shayne) into an alleyway. 'Maybe I should be...' He thought.
His suspicion getting the best of him, the hybrid slowly made his way through the crowd and towards Shayne and the disguised Terium. He did not turn the corner, but he tried to listen in to what was happening.
"Are you serious?" The words slipped out his mouth with an uncontrolled venom. "That's all you had to say?" he spat. He was able to relax for the first time today, and this dude just wasted his time for no reason? Bullshit. Something funny's going on.
Sythius slowly lowered his power level, and followed this mysterious man. He was just in time to watch this guy turn into a big demon monster.
"I knew it!" he blurted. "What would you do if you were stronger?"
Everything seemed to happen with Shayne. First this suit guy and now the council guy. "Oh great. More powerful people trying to destroy me..." Shayne muttered to himself before blinking out the way of the guys kick. "None of your damn business!" Shayne hissed at Sythius as dark ki forms around him, Shayne was getting pissed off by this point and he knew that was going to cause errors. Shayne then looked to the guy that tried to kick him onto a building, "Look. I have had enough of high powered people fighting and destroying me lately. If you help me here, i'll listen to what you gotta say and tell you what you wanna know." Shayne said to the guy, keeping as much anger out of his voice as possible. Shayne was trying to keep as calm as he could, he knew anger would not help him against those stronger then him.
