It was a cloudy afternoon in Tokyo, the sidewalks were quickly filling with youths just now getting out of school. amidst the throngs of people was a certain green-haired teen....only not in his typical red T and cammo pants, but sporting a brown hoody with hood pulled up and bluejeans. His green eyes were obscured by a pair of dark sunglasses. He waded through the people until coming to a particular intersection; the street was closed off and civil engineers were hard at work replacing a damaged section. Sounds of jackhammers and grizzled middle-aged men cursing, were son drowned out by the horn of a semi...
A little over 2 months ago...
A pair of glassy green eyes starred off into space as he wandered aimlessly through the streets. He caught several glances from pedestrians, wearing a white medical gown and all. The strange architecture and horseless carriages went unnoticed...especially a blue sorts car that narrowly missed running him down as he crossed when a signal overhead indicated NOT to.
Then something DID catch his attention! Standing in the middle of the crosswalk, a loud noise bellowed; the boy turned to find a pair of yellow eyes...actually the headlights of a semi truck complete with tractor-trailer. however that wasn't what HE saw. Instead it was the silhouette of some monstrous mish-mash of machine and nature! Though hovering mere inches above the rocky ground, the beast towered over him! he next saw himself cradling a blonde boy with a hole from his chest straight through his back; blood pouring from the wound. Afterwards he saw the charred, scattered remains of a black teen along with a broken poleaxe; the result of his attempt at retribution...
The boy's heart raced! That foggy look spilled over onto his cheeks. He convulsed a bit before spewing a greenish liquid before charging forward; right fist cocked back AND enveloped in a green aura. "FUUJINKEN!!" His cry was audible in the truck's cab.
"KAMIKAZE?!" The driver in his late-fifties, SLAMMED on the breaks! But that didn't stop the collision...
...And the truck lurching back three feet!
With a 'pop' the concentrated wind ball burst! Mashing in the front of the cab; the windshield, mirrors and several windows from the surrounding buildings were dust in the wind. The airbag deployed, cushioning the driver some as he scrambled out the door...before the steering column met the seat!
The boy was breathing hard while watching the mechanized monster 'bleed' black all over the street, he never realized there was a man inside the thing, until a hand tugged on the gown's collar. He looked up, ignoring the obscenities the driver screamed and glared with now red eyes. "PISS OFF!" Which was more of a roar than a shout.
"Y-yeah, doin' that right now..." The elderly man backed away, with his pants darkening he hauled ass away from there.
The boy bowed his head and placed his palms together, "Kil, Ron, Rest in Peace..." but the moment of silence was broken by sirens. "The fuck?! Can't a guy honor his Bros in peace?" And then he realized, the streets were full of these machines, and they've 'eaten' people!
Everything after that was a blur...
...well pretty much ALL of it was; most of the incident he had to piece together from video online, and who the hell knows if the driver actually said that in the cab, or was just trying to sound cool for the press.
He took one final puff from his cig and surveyed the area; the storefronts looked good as new. If one didn't know what to look for, there was hardly a sign those building suffered ANY damage from a wind bomb.
He stomped out the cigarette before making his way back through the group of school-age spectators who seemed to have a fascination with this place over the last couple months, and headed into an alley.

"Careful kid." The voice came from behind and above him. "The past is a dangerous place to dwell." There was a thud on the pavement as something fell from the rooftops above, followed by a low crackling noise. "Trust me, I'd know."

Without even turning, the hooded teen replied with. "Hey, just 'cause I have my dick out, doesn't mean it's open season." When the last of the yellow drops fell his fly was zipped. "Or do you want your boyfriend to know you're angling for younger men?" (Glad I finished my real business before this guy showed up.) UNLUCKILY, he couldn't sense any residual energy from whatever transported him here... did he wait too long? He wanted the heat to die down...something that even a couple months later was still drawing out the fanboys.
Without another word, he finally turned to leave...
meanwhile...
Deep below the alley, in a dark cavern, rested a large metallic sphere. The exterior had numerous dents and scars. Some of these obscured a number '.022'; while the bottom has been punctured from a hard landing. . within the orb, alarms were going off and red text began displaying.
'WARNING! auxiliary power low, terminating Cryo0stasis in 20 seconds.'
This was fallowed by a countdown.
19.
18..
17...
AA horned humanoid form stirred and a pair of yellow eyes slid open...

"Let me rephrase that." The sound of a steel blade being freed from its sheath rang out across the alleyway, as the low crackling from before became the unmistakable sound of arcing electricity.
"I'm here for your powers. And dead or alive, I'm not leaving this alley without them. So why don't you play nice and come quietly?"

He reached the opening of the alley when the man drew his blade. "What? Not even gonna ask me to dinner first before whippin' it out?"
The crackling of electricity didn't go unnoticed.
"And what fucktard pulls a sword in broad daylight with a shit ton of people and police..."
He was interrupted by a random passerby shouting. "That dude's got a sword!" Which upon hearing, people flocked to the entrance of the alley.
(Like clockwork...) As he slipped into the crowd, meanwhile a pair of uniformed officers approached the man.
"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to put the weapon down."

"And I'm going to ask you to mind your own damned business." Cole took a few running steps toward the cops, and a pillar of ice shot up out of the ground, launching him into the air. Employing his electrostatic thrusters to slow his descent back into the crowd, he scanned it, looking for a brown hoodie on a spunky teen...

As soon as the ice pillar was formed, the second Officer had his gun drawn. He didn't fire immediately. Instead the Officer fallowed the man's flight path back into the crowd which dispersed quickly upon him deploying his electrostatic thrusters. Upon him landing but refusing to comply is when he pulled the trigger.

Stephen was one of those in the crowd but he didn't run like the rest of the pathetic humans he was forced to be associated with. He stood there watching everything like it was movie night in the city or something. He got his video camera out and started filming...a new pastime of his, maybe it will shoot off...maybe not?

The bullet rips through Cole's shoulder, not even staggering him. He just shakes his head. "Sometimes I wish you people would just do as you're TOLD!" He turns, putting up a polarity wall, and lobbing a ball of swirling electrical energy toward the cops. "When I say go away I MEAN IT!" The ball lands at the feet of the officer who shot him...

Stephen watched on, "Holy crap! dude just took a bullet and didn't even flinch!" Then some kind of wall came up and Stephen was determined to get more footage of this guy and went around the wall as the man tossed what looked like something electrical at the cops on the other side. "Oh man this guy is crazy, but I'm starting to like him...I wonder what else he will do?"

As he moved through the crowd, Ryuusei spotted a familiar kid with red hair. (Shit! As if ONE psycho wasn't bad enough!) Said 'psycho' was having a standoff with two officers of the law; when he wouldn't comply and instead took action that disbursed the mass of people, one of the Uniformed men opened fire with his duty weapon. Cole took a slug in the shoulder but shrugged it off. ...Then fired back at the Policeman with ah electric ball!
"Stupid mother..." He was about to lob a wind orb to intercept Cole's attack, but noticed how it was aimed and saw it strike the ground instead.
The man withdrew his gun and retreated several paces as the ball came at him, meanwhile his partner pulled out his Comm. "Takahada here! Some Power Freak's attacking a crowd of people, we need backup! He seems unaffected by small arms fire so they'll need the heavy stuff, over!"
Meanwhile...
7...
6...
5...
'WARNING! Structural Integrity Compromis...'
The pod's hull burst open! A vaguely humanoid shape erupted from the breach; the figured was enveloped in a multi-colored aura but was predominately violet and seemed to possess two curved horns protruding from it's back.
A shrill shriek tore through the caverns as the creature leapt towards the rocky ceiling...

The ball exploded in a flash of light, knocking the officers back several feet, and pinning them to the ground with arcs of electricity when they landed.
Cole spun to face the crowd, and spotted Stephen filming him. "Show's over, pal. Put the camera away." He paused. "Unless you wanna end up like *them*." Cole motioned towards the recently downed cops, who were struggling pointlessly against their bonds.

Stephen kept filming, "Hey chill bro...I'm doing this for you, ok? You know, I'm kinda like you...I'm not fond of the cops either." Stephen then filmed the cops struggling to get free and started laughing...
"Hey, Buddy, why don't you and I get out of here and grab some food and talk?"

While he wouldn't mind seeing the two crazies kick the shit out of each other, his concern was for the officers and the rest of the crowd. (SOUHAJIN!) he lobbed the green wind orb at Cole who was preoccupied with Stephen. Hopefully the concussive force would break his concentration on whatever he threw at the cops. After launching the projectile he called out to the rest of the crowd to "Move your asses!".

The blast knocked the wind out of Cole, but the restraints on the cops held fast. Cole spun to face the source of the familiar voice, deciding he could deal with Stephen afterwards.
"The hell was that for?" He tossed a few more lightning grenades toward Ryu, and charged him.

Ryuusei's response was to simply give the man the finger and run! He avoided the lightning grenades and sped down the street, upon approaching a large three-story building he proceeded to hop up the ledges to the roof and waited...

"Right back at ya!" The grenades exploded harmlessly at his feet as Cole chased after he teen, but didn't get far before getting an idea. He once again launched himself into the air with an ice launch, but this time he grabbed a power line on his way up, and hopped on top of the cable. After a few tentative steps toward Ryu, much to Ryu's surprise, Cole's legs stopped running, as the electricity in the cable started to push him forward on its own!
Cole smiled wide as he soaked up power from the cable. "Here I come!!"

Stephen continued to run with them the best he could then focused his camera up to catch the man flying into the air again and using the electricity to move... "HOLY SHIT! think Stephen think..." He then looked for the closest high building with a roof and went inside it going to the roof as quickly as he could.

On the streets below, numerous black armored vehicles arrived on the scene. The APCs' right sides slid open to deposit four individuals each wearing body armor and carrying guns MUCH bigger than the duty weapons Takahada and his partner held.
(Well shit!) Ryuusei was watching things unfold from the roof. It was a distance away, but he was able to see this small army securing the perimeter; a couple were positioning themselves right below this building as it was at the end of a block.
...So when Cole made his ice pillar, a pair opened fire with machine guns. Cole wound up on a different building from the one Ryuusei was on and began riding power cable to close the gap.
This was in no way shocking as Cole wasn't concealing his presence and even called out to the teen. Ad in response, Ryuusei hurled another Souhajin, this time in it's arrow-shape; but not at Cole, but the cable cutting it.

"Hey! That's cheating!!" As the cable gave way under Cole, he jumped off, and threw a lightning tether at the roof of the building that Ryu was on, pulling himself toward the teen at an alarming rate. "When we're done, I think one of us is gonna have to take out the trash!" He joked, skidding to a halt on the roof.

Those on the ground ceased firing and watched what building Cole was actually heading to. The two signaled to three others and they proceeded through the front door and into a stairwell.
Ryuusei didn't take action against the...skidding Cole and addressed him. "...Ya know, in two minutes and twenty-eight, seven, six....seconds; those guys are gonna bust through that door guns 'ablazin. So either you tell me what this shit's all about, or I let'em fill you with more holes than fucking Highlander 2!"
Meanwhile...
Within the sewers, a team of Civil Engineers were hard at work with repairs. "What the..." One of the workmen had just filled in a section of wall, only for a chunk of concrete to pop back out, rays of an odd light escaped through the cracks. Soon another and then another before the wall burst apart! Agasp, the man failed to notice the curbed horns stabbing into him until it had already happened.
The man let out a pained scream, which was only exasperated as he was lifted off of the ground when the horns' owner rose to it's feet revealing a glowing humanoid form wearing a tattered robe. Burning yellow orbs surveyed the trapped, bleeding man before the head snapped foreward and teeth tore into the man's torso...

Ashley, wearing one of her newest outfits: was out on a date with Gary continuing the celebration of claiming three Prism Crystals two days after the battles in Celadon. Our couple was also enjoying each others company with arms linked. 2 days ago Ash and Gar admitted feelings for each other and started dating. Our couple was strolling down the streets of Tokyo. Pikachu was seeping in Ashley's hair while the couple was walking together while Umbreon was walking beside his trainer on the ground Gary heard a bunch of racket and dragged Ashley behind him. Ashley was keeping up the best she could but was dragged as she addressed her love with a frustrated tone, "Gare-Bear, come on stop dragging me, I can walk myself." Gary sweat dropped and let her catch up, "Sorry Ashy-Girl, but something is going on up ahead." Ashley catches up with her boyfriend and kisses him on the cheek, "No worries." Ashley links arms with Gary again and keeps pace with her love. OOC: Anyone

As the couple walked, they would find themselves approaching a roadblock with JSDF soldiers patrolling. A young man with rifle slung over his shoulder spotted the pair and walked over. "Sir, Miss," He addressed them politely. "This is a restricted area, so I must kindly ask you to turn around. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Ashley sighed as her and Gary turned around. As the couple was heading back to continue their romantic walk through Tokyo, Ashley heard a faint beeping sound coming from her wand. Ashley face palms as she looks sadly toward Gary as tears entered the corner of her eyes, "I'm afraid we may have to cut our date short."
Gary sighs and pulls Ashley close and kisses her passionately, then releases, "I guess we could meet here later to continue our date if you want to."
Ashley held Gary close and nodded as she embraced her love, "I would like that."
Gary and Ashley passionately kissed each other one more time as they parted ways. Ashley then remembered Gary knew about her being Sailor Solaris so stood on her tip toes to whisper into his ear. At this time she has no idea that Gary is Silver Rose. However, since he knows Ashley is Sailor Solaris, she decided to whisper into his ear, "I'm sorry Gare-Bear, but I need to see if my wand is picking up a Prism Crystal. I guess I will just have to wait until one of the Dark Kingdom members shows up to extract it."
Gary nods in understanding as he passionately kisses Ashley. Ashley kisses back as she parts ways with her love. The two go off in separate directions and each find an out of the way place to transform.
"Solar Prism Power Make Up!" Ashley says as she transformed into Sailor Solaris.
Gary quickly transforms into Silver Rose.
Solaris goes back to the building that her wand beeped at and jumped onto the roof, while Silver Rose found another nearby building away from the road block to observe his love just in case.
As Solaris landed on the roof and sighed as she spotted Stephen, "oh no, you've got to be kidding me? Why didn't my wand pick up his Crystal two days ago?"
Right as she said that, Jadeite appeared and pointed the Black Crystal at Stephen, "so we had a Prism Crystal Holder among us all along. I will be taking that Crystal from you."
Jadeite extracted the Crystal, pocketed it right away and vanished back to base without a word. Stephen's body then began to contort as pain shot through him.

Stephen was waiting for Cole to respond to him when he saw Solaris, "What are you...MY WHAT??" Before he could say anything else some other guy appeared and said something, suddenly Stephen's body started to twitch and contort as he was in immense pain and was yelling loudly. His body then also begun to change as he now had red eyes and Machamp size arms and legs.
When he finished, Stephen stared at Solaris and growled at her loudly then ran past her pushing her down and jumped off the side of the building looking around at all the people...trying to figure out what to attack first...

The stairwell door burst open as a group of JSDF soldiers poured onto the roof! Weapos raised they surrounded the pair. ryuusei, not wanting to start shit with the military, raised his hands in surrender. Their guns were trained on Cole, but before the Unit's leader addressed the man, there was a commotion on the roof across the way.
The blonde uniformed man who attacked the party was doing something to that little shitheel who also struck the lab. A crystal appeared from the boy's chest cavity. Once the stone was out of him, Stephen began to change; gaining massive biceps and legs. "Just fucking wonderful! First this asshole, now the Hulk!"
Steph-Hulk leapt off the roof, towards the soldier who stopped Ashley and Gary, to which he and the other guard opened fire...

Solaris sighed as she rolled her eyes, got up, and straightened her skirt. "still as rude and jerky as ever even as a Prism Crystal Warrior. I guess I better run damage control." Solaris then jumped off the roof followed shortly by Silver Rose joining her. Solaris saw her Silver Rose join her and looked toward him, "Shall we go save that jerk that just turned into a Prism Crystal Warrior?" Silver Rose smiled and nodded, "Let's save him together Solaris-Chan. We lost the Crystal, but we can at least change him back." Solaris gasped at Silver Roses statement, "how do you kn-- you know what never mind, let's just run damage control."

As big as a jerk as he is, not even he deserves to remain a monster." Stephen roared and growled at the men shooting at him taking some hits then shooting out a flamethrower attack at them... "No Hurt me, Humans..you all die" he continued the flamethrower attack. Solaris giggled as she was carried, with hearts in her eyes she spoke up, "how valiant my love. We will get him together. Also you remind me of someone really special to me." "Really?" Silver Rose asked with a blush, then continued, "so do you oddly enough." Silver Rose, after he set Solaris down, flicked a bunch of Roses toward the Gunmen, but didn't hit them, instead they landed in front of their feet, "we will take care of this monster, you go back to your primary objective.
