Thread: The Chronicles of Cityopolis [Mr.MasterxAkumaTsuki]

Cityopolis a raging metropolitan of ever growing size and corruption, its large financial district with his huge glass towers giving way to smaller goliaths of industry before filtering down to the sounds of dogs barking, rap music and the crumbling of buildings in the slums. The city had it all it seemed, a night club district for both the well reputed and the non, the whole of it was a breeding ground for every kind of crime imaginable. Low and high. While the police tried to keep the streets clean, the magnitude of it all was far too encompassing for the officers to handle alone. In a time of need civilians, both gifted with special abilities and not, donned masks and capes in an effort to clean up the city. The vigilantes were first shunned, but slowly gained acceptance and love as the wave of capes gave birth to a new breed of villains. By day it seemed all was normal, but by night a bloody feud had begun, between what the media called Good and Evil. As the city grew so did the battles between the two until it threatened to consume it. The evil-doers were locked away in the city prison or worsethe Brubaker Home for the Criminally Insane. It didnt matter if you were in fact sane, by practical standards any villain with special abilities, who ran around dressed up plotting heinous crimes ended up there to rot away. It was a double standard, the Heroes could dress up all they wanted and it was perfectly sane, but those who planned a crime, well, the crematorium took care of those who did rot away. Heists were common place, and every company out there strove to provide the next biggest breakthrough in security causing the rise of Maddox Industries and Laboratories, who soon grabbed up half the city contracts for the Asylum and most of the buildings. All of them wanted to feel secure, and it didnt matter the cost if they attained that feeling. They could remain in their walls of concrete and expensive glass, blissfully unaware that no matter the technology out there, there was always a way around it. Despite dropping the glass cutter while hanging from her repel cord Lab Mouse had been rather proud of the improvisation of smashing the glass to collect the egg sized diamond from the jewelry store case. It was entirely their fault for flaunting it out in the open so, why any Tom, Dick, or Harry could have broken in here and snatched it for themselves. Unlike them however, she felt her purpose a much nobler one than greed. With this priceless piece she and the Madd Scientist could continue their research fully funded and without worries of another heist merely on the premises of gaining income. The thrill of it all was what kept her going. Securing the gem in a pouch on her belt she quickly scurried her way back up the rope and out the perfect circle she had cut in the domed glass roof. Such opulence had made this all so simple. Peeking out from the hole she gazed around for a moment before climbing up and scanning the rooftop. The cops would be here shortly, she was sure of it. Unless the imbeciles that ran Holks Fine Jewels didnt believe in silent alarms. She bent over to reel in the rope, not caring to leave it behind, absent mindedly pressing a hand to the white leather mask that spanned across her eyes.
